All the Money in the World
When 16-year-old John Paul Getty III (Charlie Plummer) is kidnapped in Rome in 1973, his mother Gail Harris (Michelle Williams) desperately tries to convince his miserly billionaire grandfather Jean Paul Getty (Christopher Plummer), the richest man in the world, to pay the ransom of $17 million. However, Getty refuses to pay any ransom at all, leaving Gail in a panic and her son in a very desperate situation.
Getty's employee Fletcher Chase (Mark Wahlberg) tries to help Gail get her son back, but without Getty Sr.'s help, they're running out of time.
Based on the book Painfully Rich: The Outrageous Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Heirs of J. Paul Getty by John Pearson.

In the Scripps Spelling Bee, which is being aired tonight, the number one rated speller went down early on: heiligenschein - meaning something like "a bright halo of light that appears around the shadow of the observer's head or around that of the camera (i.e. at the antisolar point). The name means 'holy light' in German and as with a glory, the observer sees only the light surronding his or her head, not around those of any companions...." I found that definition on a forum, so I am not sure of it. I couldn't find it in a dictionary.
I am surprised that they would choose a word in no dictionary. I suspect some of you with a knowledge of German have heard of it, but I certainly haven't.

What little German I know suggests that it's literally, "holy light." It can also be applied to what we in English call a "sundog." http://www.sundog.clara.co.uk/droplets/heilfrm.htm
The fella would have been prepared if he'd been reading our board. Note the slightly different spelling: heiligenschein.
(Wordcrafter, re-reading old threads to supplement the Wordcraft Dictionary)
I believe the "i" is correct, just having seen the Scripps site. I copied this spelling from the television screen and either they had it wrong or I transcribed it wrong.

Ach, heiligerScheiß!!! Write to him and tell him to protest!!!
It's just the German word for "halo". What's wrong with using "halo"?

The word Heiligenschein does indeed mean, literally when decomposed into its constituent parts, "holy light" -- and that's the clue that its usage is not secular (as in "sun dog" or "backlighting"), but religious: it's a not uncommon word for "halo" or "nimbus", specifically as seen in paintings depicting saints.
(You KNEW the German translator amongst you wuz gonna have to ring in on this one, right? )
It's interesting that the words heiligenschein, halo, and nimbus are all loanwords from German, Greek, and Latin. I guess those Angles, Saxons, and Jutes didn't have enough spare time to coin their own. (And, if they did, Dale would be asking about its coinage and meaning.)
—Ceci n'est pas un seing.
|<Asa Lovejoy>
Dunno about the rest, but I was hoping so!
I have changed the subject line to heiligenschein. I thought I should do that since the inspiration did come from a spelling bee.
|<Asa Lovejoy>
I do believe it's found in the Great Seal of the US. Check out a dollar bill. The big eyeball has one around it.
Anent Heiligenschein, I think it's fair to say that, were I not deeply involved in the German language, I would likely not know or have ever heard the word.
Curiously, these only semi-assimilated German words seem to be getting more popular in spelling bees in the US; on NPR yesterday morning, I heard about a bee won by correctly spelling Ursprache (which term I only know from my grad-school courses in Sprachwissenschaft (philology). It means "primeval tongue" and refers to a presumed proto-language before even PIE (Proto-Indo-European). Some waggish blokes assert that Ursprache is the language we use when we drop a bowling ball on our big toe.
Well, the Angles and Saxons were Germanic tribes, of course -- and the Jutes North Germanic, come to think of it -- so I don't know if loanword is apropos here; vocabulary came along for the ride as the English language evolved out of these Germanic dialects. Regarding Greek and Latin: these tribes having been pagan until "converted" (yes, ironic quotes) to Xtianity, they couldn't have had a term of their own for halo, so it would be more of a "loan concept", wouldn't it? BTW, I'm pretty sure that Heiligenschein is a relatively recent, scholastic, coinage (like Fernseher, a direct translation into German of Latin "tele/vision") so that there would a 100% German word for "halo" or "nimbus". Incidentally, this tendency really took off during the Nazi era, when it was proposed -- but not (Gottseidank!) adopted -- that even such an assimilated word as Fenster (from vulgar Latin fenestra, as in "defenestration") be changed to some godawful construction along the lines of (in "pure" English) "four-sided light-letting-in hole-in-the-wall". (NB: I deliberately did not use "rectangular" or "admitting").
But the point to all this ramble through the brambles of the German language and its offspring is that the language of those Angles etc. -- namely English -- is one of the most mongrel languages on the planet (and I mean that in the most positive sense!), with not merely loanwords but entire loanstreams flowing in from the invader-of-the-month of the British Isles, i.e. Europe and points North, South, East and West. More often than not, English will have 2 or more words for something, and almost always from different original languages. It's what makes English poetry so rich, since each "synonym" from a different language carries a different flavor, a different shading of meaning, a different subtext (in the etymology).
Actually, I probably haven't said anything here that most of the readers of this posting don't already know to some degree or other; I just so much enjoy expatiating on subjects like this that I get carried away.
I, too, was gladdened by the winning word, Ursprache. But I'd say its meaning is any proto-language, of which Proto-Indo-European (Urindogermanische) is one example. (The proto-language before PIE is usually called Pre-Indo-European, or Vorindogermanische.) Another related word is Urheimat the proto-homeland where the speakers of the Ursprache were supposed to have lived. The prefix ur- 'proto-' is interesting. The only word it occurs in natively in English ir ordeal (cf. German Urteil 'judgment').
I would disagree that halos are a christian-only religious concept. After all the Greeks and Romans (halo and nimbus, also aureola 'small aura') existed before that religion.
As for the "mongrel" state of English, most languages have loanwords of some sort, you just need to know where to look. Some comparative-historical linguists believe that the Germanic branch of PIE was heavily influenced by (blended with) a pre-PIE, non-IE, European language of which no traces have been left.
[Added later.]
Couldn't find Heiligenschein in Kluge's German etymological dictionary, so no idea how old it is. Looked in an Old English dictionary under halig 'holy' (cognate with the German), but while there were many compounds there, none for halo. Finally looked up Greek αλως halōs 'threshing floor; disk of the sun or moon', related to Homeric Greek αλωη (halōē) 'garden; prepared land'. It's interesting how the meaning of halōs went from trheshing-floor to disk of the sun or moon. Usual IE words for threshing-floor are related to the verb for thresh.This message has been edited.

At least ursprache is in the online OED and 5 dictionaries (including Dictionary.com) in Onelook. Heiligenschein is only in Widipedia (anything can get into that) and AllWords.com Multi-Lingual Dictionary. I think that kid who went down on heiligenschein could argue that it's not an English word. Isn't the spelling bee about English words?
I only saw the last half hour or so of the spelling bee, but during that time I thought there were a higher proportion of words with a German etymology than we have in English.
While Heiligenschein isn't in the OED, Heilsgeschichte is, which I hadn't heard of either. Is it related? It means "Sacred history, spec. the history of God's saving work among men; history seen as the working out of God's salvation."
|<Asa Lovejoy>
In Man and His Symbols Jung and M.L. von Franz state, "Abstract mandalas...appear in European Christian art. Some of the most splendid examples are the rose windows of the cathedrals. These are representations of the Self transported to the cosmic plane. (A cosmic mandala in the shape of a shining white rose was revealed to Dante in a vision.) We may regard as mandalas the haloes of Christ and the Christian saints in religious paintings. In many cases, the halo of Christ is alone divided into four...a symbol of his differentiated wholeness."
Thus did Jung see the halo as a later manifestation of the more ancient mandala.
Re halo(e)s/nimbi being a Xtian innovation, I stand shamefacedly corrected -- and the wormwood irony is that I just started re-reading "Man and His Symbols" a few days ago: I shoulda known/remembered better.
Is Heiligenschein an English word? I'd think being present in an accepted English dictionary would be the test on that, and this wouldn't meet that test. Does anyone know what criteria the Scripps National Spelling Bee administrators use for identifying English words?
Looking further, I found that another boy went down on an "Italian word," sciolto, meaning "loose." This word is not in the OED and is only in Onelook's AllWords.com Multi-Lingual Dictionary. Likewise, is sciolto considered an English word?
According to its website:
"Round Two words are selected from the 2006 Paideia (our official study booklet) and the 250 words appearing in the Additional Words section of Books I and II of the 2006 Sponsor Bee Guides (word lists most sponsors use at their final bees)."
"The only complete source for words in Round One and all rounds after Round Two is Webster's Third New International Dictionary and its Addenda section, copyright 2002, Merriam-Webster, which contains over 470,000 word entries."
—Ceci n'est pas un seing.
Is anyone in a position to verify that Heiligenschein and sciolto appear in Websters and check what is meant by "international" in its title?

Information on the company Merriam-Webster and its dictionaries. "The name was changed [to International] because the publisher wished to reflect the wide authority the work had throughout the English-speaking world and that it was no longer solely an "American" dictionary."
—Ceci n'est pas un seing.
I see so the relevent question isn't "should these words be in an English dictionary" simply "Are these words in that particular dictionary." That should be easy enough to verify and I suppose the foreword will say what the policy for inclusion of foreign words is.

Interesting. If you google the word, the first seven hits are to English pages from the USA, UK, and Canada, and the eighth is to then entyr on the German Wikipedia. The final two pages are English also. (Compare a search for Strahlenkranz 'corona', a related word, where the first page is all German hits.) Narrowing the search to the English language, drops the results from 359K ghits to 22.5K ghits. It seems to be a term that some anglophones use. I'm sure that many were surprized with the word that won, ursprache. I know I was at some of the others, e.g., douane 'a customhouse' and guilloche (a French architectural eponym to boot) 'an ornament in the form of two or more bands or strings twisted over each other in a continued series, leaving circular openings which are filled with round ornaments'. When I worked for a short time on an historical building restoration site, one of the day laborers used an Italian term I'd never heard before, fascia 'a flat member of an order or building, like a flat band or broad fillet'.
—Ceci n'est pas un seing.
Interesting that it's the Webster's International Dictionary. When I was arguing that "abaculo" isn't really a word, someone from OEDILF found it in one of the International Webster's Dictionaries (I can't remember which). When I was in Portland visiting Asa, I looked it up at Powell's Book Store. Sure enough, the word was in the dictionary that she had cited. Yet, it hadn't been in the previous or the later edition. I found that very strange, and I still don't think "abaculo" is a word.
It's a quite common word in the construction trades. In fact, I placed an order today for white aluminum fascia to fix the eave of my sister's house. I have seen it misspelled as "facia" in advertising.
And you're Italian, aren't you?
"Fascia" is a common medical term, meaning a fibrous membrane that supports muscles and unites skin with underlying tissue.
Dan Hamilton wrote an excellent column in the Chicago Tribune today, "Understanding the weltschmerz of it all." It was about how important German is to the English language, and the author mentioned a variety of common and not so common German words. It was certainly very related to this thread, but I can't find it online. As soon as I do, I will post it here.
My point was, that a word of foreign origin may seem as strange as heiligenschein or fascia until you run into a bunch of plain-speaking anglophones who use such words.

I see your point, Zmj, and I finally found this article online. It is helpful too.

I ordered the size 8 for my 5lb Chihuahua and it fits her very well. This is such a cute tee and she seems to enjoy wearing it. The fabric is soft and the quality is great for the price. Great purchase.
"true to size"
I purchased this item for my pointer mix who is about thirty pounds. I purchased the size 16. It fit her well. The material is very thin, but she has not ripped it yet which is great since she likes to run around in it. It was also very easy to put on, just stretchy enough.

Many moons ago, I had a free pattern posted on a craft and sewing blog called Whip Up. Sadly, Whip Up is no longer live, which, after double checking some of the links on my blog, also means the pattern for the ladybird is also no longer live.
There's been a long absence for me from blogging, reasons for which I'll go into in my next post, but for now, I'm going to add the ladybird pattern here, it was a popular pattern and is also one I've used myself a few times when I've done teaching sessions, its small, simple, quick to do, doesn't require a huge amount of materials and can all the sewing can be done by hand.
pattern skill rating : easy
You will need...
2 pieces of fabric 3" x 4" (7.5 x 10cm) for the body
1 piece of craft felt 3" x 4" (7.5 x 10cm) for the wings
1 piece of craft felt 1" x 2" (2.5 x 5cm) for the eyes
2 small buttons
sewing thread
small pebble to weight the ladybird
plus the usual needle, pins, scissors etc
Begin by printing out the template image below
STEP 1 : making the body
1. Cut a body shape using the template, from each of the fabric pieces, place them both right sides together and pin.
2. Sew round the edge leaving the turning gap open.
3. Turn the body right side round, stuff with a little of the stuffing, then pop in the pebble to give the ladybird a little weight to it. Continue to stuff until it is almost full then fold in the raw edges of the turning gap and sew it closed.
STEP 2 : adding the eyes and wings
1. Cut 2 eye circles from the smallest piece of craft felt. Hold one in position on the body (the opposite end to where the turning gap was), and anchor in place by attaching it on with one of the small buttons.
2. Repeat for the other eye.
3. Cut 2 wings from the other piece of craft felt and attach one to the body using small random straight stitches along the short straight edge. Flip the other wing and attach in the same way so both wings line up as indicated on the template.
STEP 3 : embroidery embellishment
1. Add some french knots dotted around each of the wings. To do this, anchor your embroidery thread to the ladybird's body with a knot underneath one of the wings. Bring the thread up through the wing, wrap it round the needle 3 times and then take the thread back down through the body, coming up where you want the next stitch to appear, pulling the previous french knot tight as you go.
2. Add some antennae by passing a short length of embroidery thread through the head from one side to the other, just above each eye. Remove the needle and tie a knot in each end of the thread trimming each end if needs be.
And there you go, to finish off, here's a batch of ladybirds made in a class I taught at my daughter's high school.

Do you remember those days? The days where you didn't have one single care for anything. The sun was out all day, and slept for a bit. The days where you would build, create, and adventure? Let's look back at those days. And remember how "dangerous" you were.
Yoko Sano, picture novelist and essayist, is 70 years old now. She was diagnosed cancer and told her days were numbered. Now she is cherishing her days. Days without big adventure, days just ordinary. Her most well-known piece 'The cat with a million lives' is published 33 years ago. The novel with the great insight of love and life based on her view is still popular in Japan and has penetrated
Days in Pain tells the story of "Him," an isolated teenager with severe depression. Throughout this short film, we see his day to day life; days upon days of pain and suffering. While this may be hard to watch, "Days in Pain" provides an outside look into what it means to be bullied. It is a never-ending story; a sort of Purgatory that the character personifies.

How To Replace the Temperature Control
Continued from page 1
The control is connected by two wires. Label the wire placement on the control before disconnecting the wires. The wires are connected to the switch with slip-on connectors. Firmly pull the connector (do not pull on the wire) off of the control's terminal. You may need to use a pair of needle-nose pliers to remove the connectors. Inspect the connectors for corrosion. If the connectors are corroded they should be replaced.
To test the temperature control before replacing it, click here for instructions.
The temperature control also has a temperature probe permanently attached. Follow the path of the probe and remove any fasteners that hold it in place.
Carefully replace the temperature probe along the same path as it was originally installed. Avoid any unnecessary bending, and do not bend it into a sharp angle as this can damage the probe. Connect the wires to the new temperature control. Replace the switch and housing (if any) and press the knob onto the the control's hub. Adjust the control to a midway setting. Plug in the refrigerator. After one to two hours check the temperature.
If there is also a freezer control, it can be replaced in the same way.

I've been working on my pink version of Anne Sutton's free Tisket a Tasket BOM in the evenings. Eight are done so far, so I thought I would show you my progress. Where you see little gaps are places for future buttons. I decided I would use some vintage buttons I have as well as various other brown buttons to mix it up.
We're still dealing with some minor closing "issues" with our house. Little things keep cropping up that need attention. Just when we think we're home free - something else comes up! Talk about stressful. I keep telling myself this is all a normal part of the process.
And if it isn't one thing, it's another! Saturday at the Squash House we took delivery of a solid wood bed we ordered from Orvis. This bed will be in our guest room. It took weeks and weeks to arrive via several independent freight companies. Mr. Squash was so excited to sleep on a real bed instead of a mattress on the floor our last night there on this trip. They called to say they were running late and finally delivered it after 6 pm! We decided to unpack it, put it together, then go to a late dinner. We got it unpacked, read the simple directions and began to assemble. Turns out one of the side rails was split during the making of the bed! We're not even sure how it could have passed an inspection. How frustrating! Mr. Squash offered to call Orvis as he knew I was tired, frustrated and in danger of making things worse if I tried to explain the situation - LOL! They were very nice and are sending a new siderail, but it will be several more weeks before it arrives!
That's it for now. I promise to be back in a couple of days!

Protect Your Children from Internet Pedophiles
One in four children in chat rooms on the Internet will be solicited by a child predator. These pedophiles seek a target-rich environment for finding their prey, and the Internet has become their flocking ground. To ensure that your children and household are safe from the threat of these predators, consider these tips from Detective James Brown, officer in charge of the LAPD's Sexually Exploited Child Unit:
Never, ever leave your child alone in a room with a computer connected to the Internet.
Any Internet-connected computer should be in the community part of the house. It should only be used when parents are home and monitoring their children's activity on the computer. Think about it like this; Would you ever let a stranger go up to your child's room and talk to them alone for four hours? Would you ever leave your child alone in a park and come back four hours later? It is a myth that a child on a computer at home is safe. At the least, they may be exposed to sexually explicit materials, and at the worst, they can be lured by an Internet pedophile.
Parents should educate themselves on basic computer knowledge.
Parents should be the ones to set up all Internet accounts and passwords. Make sure you know your child's account name and password. You should also be aware if any other e-mail accounts your child may have. Take the time to learn about Internet filters, firewalls, monitoring software and other tools. Use your browser history, cache and cookies to find out what sites your kids have been visiting. Enter their names, including nicknames, into popular search engines to see if they have public profiles on social networking sites. Do the same with your address and phone number. You might be surprised by how much of your personal information is online!
Locking certain computer sites doesn't work.
Computer filters don't work for chat rooms, and there are no blocks for the chat rooms. There is software to monitor a child's activity, but not their chat activity.
Be aware.
Parents should be cautious if a child suddenly closes a browser window on the computer when the parent enters the room, or if the child doesn't want the parent to see what they are working on. If the parent questions what the child is looking at, they should go to the computer and click the back button on the tool bar or lean over and look closely at the computer screen. Parents should also be aware of pictures coming in over the computer.
Never, ever give out personal information over the Internet.
This is a good practice for both children and parents. It makes it easy for people to find out about you if you have provided them with any personal information. If you have to give some information, only give your state identification. Never give out your city, birthday, name, or school you attend.
Children should never upload a picture of themselves to the Internet.
They should also never e-mail a picture to this new person. Once the picture leaves your computer you have lost control of what can be done with the picture. A predator can do anything they want with it.
Make sure you have open lines of communication with your children.
Oftentimes kids are communicating with strangers because there is no communication in the house. Have open discussions with your children so they feel comfortable talking with you. They should know that if they receive material that bothers them or is inappropriate, they should bring it to their parent's attention so it can be reported to local law enforcement. They need to feel comfortable doing this.
Many times children feel they did something wrong or something they weren't supposed to do, so they think they will lose computer privileges because of this. It is important for them to know that they can bring it to their parents' attention without getting in trouble.
Parents and children should visit Netsmartz.org to help start family discussions and conversations. This site is supported by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
If you suspect your child is in trouble, look for these signs:
A child that starts to act differently, withdrawn, getting bad grades or spending a lot of time on the Internet.
Many times children will think they have found their new "best friend," and they believe that this person will rescue them from their doldrums. If gifts start arriving at the home, this should also be a clue that something is not right. If your family starts receiving phone calls from people you don't recognize, this could mean there are serious problems. Either the child gave the predator your phone number, or the predator found it out. This can signify a threat to your child as well as the entire family, especially if the predator knows where you live.
If you suspect your child could be the victim of an Internet pedophile, call your local law enforcement agency. You can also visit Cybertipline.com, which will direct you to an agency in your area, or Missingkids.com, which is a national center for missing and exploited children. For more information for you and your child to be safe on the Internet, visit Netsmartz.org.

New Intel Graphics Drivers Further Spread Quick Sync Video
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards, Processors | February 25, 2014 - 01:33 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Ivy Bridge, Intel, iGPU, haswell
Recently, Intel released the 18.104.22.16812 (22.214.171.124.3412 for 64-bit) drivers for their Ivy Bridge and Haswell integrated graphics. The download was apparently published on January 29th while its patch notes are dated February 22nd. It features expanded support for Intel Quick Sync Video Technology, allowing certain Pentium and Celeron-class processors to access the feature, as well as an alleged increase in OpenGL-based games. Probably the most famous OpenGL title of our time is Minecraft, although I do not know if that specific game will see improvements (and if so, how much).
The new driver enables Quick Sync Video for the following processors:
- Pentium 3558U
- Pentium 3561Y
- Pentium G3220(Unsuffixed/T/TE)
- Pentium G3420(Unsuffixed/T)
- Pentium G3430
- Celeron 2957U
- Celeron 2961Y
- Celeron 2981U
- Celeron G1820(Unsuffixed/T/TE)
- Celeron G1830
Besides the addition for these processors and the OpenGL performance improvements, the driver obviously fixes several bugs in each of its supported OSes. You can download the appropriate drivers from the Intel Download Center.
Introduction and Design
It seems like only yesterday (okay, last month) that we were testing the IdeaPad Yoga 11, which was certainly an interesting device. That's primarily because of what it represents: namely, the slow merging of the tablet and notebook markets. You've probably heard people proclaiming the death of the PC as we know it. Not so fast—while it's true that tablets have eaten into the sales of what were previously low-powered notebooks and now-extinct netbooks, there is still no way to replace the utility of a physical keyboard and the sensibility of a mouse cursor. Touch-centric devices are hard to beat when entertainment and education are the focus of a purchase, but as long as productivity matters, we aren't likely to see traditional means of input and a range of connectivity options disappear anytime soon.
The IdeaPad Yoga 11 leaned so heavily in the direction of tablet design that it arguably was more tablet than notebook. That is, it featured a tablet-grade SOC (the nVidia Tegra 3) as opposed to a standard Intel or AMD CPU, an 11" display, and a phenomenal battery life that can only be compared to the likes of other ARM-based tablets. But, of course, with those allegiances come necessary concessions, not least of which is the inability to run x86 applications and the consequential half-baked experiment that is Windows RT.
Fortunately, there's always room for compromise, and for those of us searching for something closer to a notebook than the original Yoga 11, we're now afforded the option of the 11S. Apart from being nearly identical in terms of form factor, the $999 (as configured) Yoga 11S adopts a standard x86 chipset with Intel ULV CPUs, which allows it to run full-blown Windows 8. That positions it squarely in-between the larger x86 Yoga 13 and the ARM-based Yoga 11, which makes it an ideal candidate for someone hoping for the best of both worlds. But can it survive the transition, or do its compromises outstrip its gains?
Our Yoga 11S came equipped with a fairly standard configuration:
Unless you're comparing to the Yoga 11's specs, not much about this stands out. The Core i5-3339Y is the first thing that jumps out at you; in exchange for the nVidia Tegra 3 ARM-based SOC of the original Yoga 11, it's a much more powerful chip with a 13W TDP and (thanks to its x86 architecture) the ability to run Windows 8 and standard Windows applications. Next on the list is the included 8 GB of DDR3 RAM—versus just 2 GB on the Yoga 11. Finally, there's USB 3.0 and a much larger SSD (256 GB vs. 64 GB)—all valuable additions. One thing that hasn't changed, meanwhile, is the battery size. Surely you're wondering how this will affect the longevity of the notebook under typical usage. Patience; we'll get to that in a bit! First, let's talk about the general design of the notebook.

Zotac Launches New Ivy Bridge-Powered ZBOX Nano SFF PCs
Subject: General Tech, Systems | July 12, 2013 - 02:26 AM | Tim Verry
Tagged: zotac, zbox, SFF, Nano, Ivy Bridge, Intel, hd 4000
Zotac has announced three new ZBOX Nano SKUs that utilize Intel's 3rd Generation "Ivy Bridge" processors and HD 4000 processor graphics. The new SKUs include base and PLUS models of ID63, ID 64, and ID65 mini PCs.
The tiny PCs continue to use the ZBOX Nano form factor of approximately 5 x 5 x 1.8 inches. The front of the small form factor (SFF) PC holds two USB 2.0 ports, an SD card reader, two audio jacks, LEDs, and a power button. The rear of the ZBOX Nano PCs features an external antenna for Wi-Fi along with the following IO.
- 4 x USB 3.0
- 1 x eSATA
- 1 x HDMI
- 1 x DisplayPort
- 1 x Gigabit Ethernet
The PC comes with a VESA 75/100 mount for wall mounting or attaching to the back of a monitor.
Internal specifications include an Intel Core i3 3227U (dual core at 1.9GHz), Core i5 3337U (dual core at 1.9GHz base, 2.7GHz turbo), or Core i7 3537U (dual core at 2.0GHz base, 3.1GHz turbo) processor depending on the specific SKU. The base barebones ZBOX Nano PCs support a single DDR3 SO-DIMM (up to 8GB 1600MHz) and a single 2.5" hard drive.
Zotac's ZBOX Nano Plus units bundle in 4GB of DDR3 and a 500GB hard drive. Zotac also includes a "nanoRAID" adapter that will allow users to switch out a traditional 2.5" storage drive for two mSATA drives. The adapter supports RAID 0 and RAID 1 options as well.
Pricing and availability for the new ZBOX Nano SKUs has not been announced yet, but the mini PCs should be up for sale soon.
The decision to release new models with Ivy Bridge processors instead of Intel's latest Haswell CPUs is a bit strange, but the SFF PCs have likely been in the making and testing phase for a while. I expect Haswell-powered versions to be released at some point in the future but for now the Ivy Bridge models will offer up more performance than previous ZBOX Nano units.
Logic Supply Launches New LGX ML250 Fanless PC
Subject: Cases and Cooling, Systems | June 19, 2013 - 03:33 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Passive, Logic Supply, Ivy Bridge, fanless
Logic Supply recently responded to customer requests for a high-end passively cooled system with its new LGX ML250 fanless PC. The new system is intended for industrial and mobile computing work where you need a rugged system that can be used in a wide range of environments.
The LGX ML250 uses a metal chassis that doubles as a heatsink for the CPU. On the front of the case is a single power button and two USB 2.0 ports. On the rear IO panel, users are presented with:
- 2 x COM ports
- 1 x DisplayPort
- 1 x HDMI
- 1 x DVI
- 1 x PS/2
- 4 x USB 2.0
- 2 x USB 3.0
- 2 x RJ45 LAN jacks
- 3 x analog audio outputs
Internally, the fanless PC uses an ASRock IMB-170 motherboard, Intel Sandy Bridge or Ivy Bridge CPUs, up to 16GB (2x8GB) DDR3 memory, and (up to) either a 1TB mechanical hard drive or 120GB SLC SSD for two SATA drive slots.
CPU options include the Sandy Bridge Celeron B810, the Ivy Bridge Core i3-3120ME, or the Ivy Bridge Intel Core i5-3610ME at 2.7GHz. The PC also includes Wi-Fi via a mini-PCI-E card. It can be pre-installed with your choice of Windows 7/8 or Ubuntu Linux operating systems. The LGX ML250 is rated for 40-degrees Celsius environmental temperatures.
Mr Walsh of Logic Supply stated that the company received numerous requests for a sub-$1000 machine with decent specs, IO, and with a fanless design. "The default config uses one of the new industrial-series ASRock boards -- the IMB170. From what I can tell, few IPC companies are using these boards in fanless systems, which is amazing given their price/performance specs."
The ML250 starts at $773 and is available for pre-order now. The price tag is steep, but it is a full system that is mostly aimed at industrial applications.
Computex 2013: Intel Demos Baytrail Tablet, Haswell Ultrabook, Ivy Bridge Passive Tablet

Intel had a host of new technologies to show off at Computex this year, starting of course with the Haswell processor launch. Hopefully you have read our review of the Core i7-4770K LGA1150 CPU already but thanks to some video sent our way, we have other interesting bits to share.
Below you will see Intel demonstrating four new products. First is the Acer Aspire S7 using a Haswell dual-core platform playing back 4K content. Next up is an Ivy Bridge tablet that is running completely fanless (passive) thus generating no noise at all while still offering impressive CPU and graphics performance. Intel then pulls a Lenovo K900 Android smartphone out of its pocket powered by the Clovertrail+ enabled Atom Z2580 SoC. Finally, we get a sneak peak at the next-generation of SoC designs with a look at a Silvermont-based Baytrail tablet running at 2560x1440.
Inspur Readies Tianhe-2 Supercomputer With 54 Petaflop Theoretical Peak Performance
Subject: Systems | June 3, 2013 - 09:27 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Xeon Phi, tianhe-2, supercomputer, Ivy Bridge, HPC, China
A powerful new supercomputer constructed by Chinese company Inspur is currently in testing at the National University of Defense Technology. Called the Tianhe-2, the new supercomputer has 16,000 compute nodes and approximately 54 Petaflops of peak theoretical compute performance.
Destined for the National Supercomputer Center in Guangzhou, China, the open HPC platform will be used for education and research projects. The Tianhe-2 is composed of 125 racks with 128 compute nodes in each rack.
The compute nodes are broken down into two types: CPM and APU modules. One of each node type makes up a single compute board. The CPM module hosts four Intel Ivy Bridge processors, 128GB system memory, and a single Intel Xeon Phi accelerator card with 8GB of its own memory. Each APU module adds five Xeon Phi cards to every compute board. The compute boards (a CPM module + a APU module) contain two NICs that connect the various compute boards with Inspur's custom THExpress2 high bandwidth interconnects. Finally, the Tianhe-2 supercomputer will have access to 12.4 Petabytes of storage that is shared across all of the compute boards.
In all, the Tianhe-2 is powered by 32,000 Intel Ivy Bridge processors, 1.024 Petabytes of system memory (not counting Phi dedicated memory--which would make the total 1.404 PB), and 48,000 Intel Xeon Phi MIC (Many Integrated Cores) cards. That is a total of 3,120,000 processor cores (though keep in mind that number is primarily made up of the relatively simple individual Phi cores as there are 57 cores to each Phi card).
Inspur claims up to 3.432 TFlops of peak compute performance per compute node (which, for simplicity they break down as one node is 2 Ivy Bridge chips, 64GB memory, and 3 Xeon Phi cards although the two compute modules that make up a node are not physically laid out that way) for a total theoretical potential compute power of 54,912 TFlops (or 54.912 Petaflops) across the entire supercomputer. In the latest Linpack benchmark run, researchers saw up to 63% efficiency in attaining peak performance -- 30.65 PFlops out of 49.19 PFlops peak/theoretical performance -- when only using 14,336 nodes with 50GB RAM each. Further testing and optimization should improve that number, and when all nodes are brought online the real world performance will naturally be higher than the current benchmarks. With that said, the Tianhe-2 is already besting Cray's TITAN, which is promising (though I hope Cray comes back next year and takes the crown again, heh).
In order to keep all of this hardware cool, Inspur is planning a custom liquid cooling system using chilled water. The Tianhe-2 will draw up to 17.6 MW of power under load. Once the liquid cooling system is implemented the supercomputer will draw 24MW while under load.
This is an impressive system, and an interesting take on a supercomputer architecture considering the rise in popularity of heterogeneous architectures that pair massive numbers of CPUs with graphics processing units (GPUs).
The Tianhe-2 supercomputer will be reconstructed at its permanent home at the National Supercomputer Center in Guangzhou, China once the testing phase is finished. It will be one of the top supercomputers in the world once it is fully online! HPC Wire has a nice article with slides an further details on the upcoming processing powerhouse that is worth a read if you are into this sort of HPC stuff.

Revisting support the HD4000 graphics core on Ubuntu

Tagged: sandy bridge, Ivy Bridge, linux, ubuntu 13.04
The news might be heavily slanted towards Haswell right now but for Linux users improvements to Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge GPU drivers are still a major focus. As there have been updates to the drivers as well as to Ubuntu, Phoronix felt it was time to revisit the performance metrics of the graphics on a Core i3 3217U. While they did see improvements when you compare it to previous driver versions it seems that there is still some work to do as the performance still lags behind the Win7 driver.
"After yesterday's Intel Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge Linux graphics comparison using the very latest Intel Linux graphics driver, here are new benchmarks using the latest Windows and Linux Intel OpenGL graphics driver. Facing competition this morning is Microsoft Windows 7 Pro x64 and Ubuntu 13.04 with its updated open-source stack."

New Intel HD Graphics Driver Improves Game Performance
Subject: General Tech | April 8, 2013 - 03:13 PM | Tim Verry
Tagged: Ivy Bridge, intel hd, Intel, hd 4000, hd 2500
Intel recently released an updated graphics driver for Ivy Bridge processors sporting either HD 4000 or HD 2500 GPUs. The new 184.108.40.20671 (or 188.8.131.52.3071 for those running a 64-bit OS) driver features several under-the-hood optimizations to reduce CPU overhead and improve the driver architecture itself.
The driver architecture improvements have also led to improved game performance. Intel claims up to 10% better performance in StarCraft II, Batman: Arkham City, and World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria (among others).
The chip giant also notes that the new driver supports OpenCL 1.2 for GPGPU calculations. The graphics driver update is only for Ivy Bridge hardware, and is compatible with Ivy Bridge hardware and both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 and Windows 8. If you are running Intel's Driver Update Utility, you should get the new driver automatically.
Otherwise, you can grab the new driver from the following link, depending on your OS.
- 220.127.116.1171 for 32-bit Windows 7/8
- 22.214.171.124.3071 for 64-bit Windows 7/8
Unfortunately, these drivers are generic Intel HD graphics drivers. If your OEM computer is running Windows with an OEM-customized version of Intel's drivers, you are out of luck. You will need to wait for your OEM to update its driver package in order to take advantage of the performance improvements.
Windows versus Linux in an OpenGL free for al

Tagged: linux, ubuntu 13.04, fedora 18, win7, opengl, Ivy Bridge
One major barrier to switching to Linux for many users is the graphical performance of the OS; Steam may be releasing a variety of games which will run on Linux but if the performance is awful there are not going to be many who think about making the switch. Phoronix has been a close eye on the development of OpenGL drivers for Linux, this time specifically the onboard Intel graphics present on Ivy Bridge chips. With one driver available for each OS the tests were easily set up, except for the aforementioned Steam games as there is a bug which prevents Phoronix from collecting the performance data they need. Check out the performance differences between Ubuntu 13.04, Fedora 18 and Win7 in the full article.
"Last month Phoronix published Intel OpenGL benchmarks showing Windows 8 outperforming Ubuntu 13.04 with the latest Windows and Linux drivers from Intel. I also showed that even with the KDE and Xfce desktops rather than the default Unity/Compiz desktop to Ubuntu, Windows 8 still was faster on this Intel "Ivy Bridge" platform.

The P8Z77X-I Deluxe is ASUS' high-powered answer to the small form factor crowd. Through some unique design decisions and an upright daughter-board, ASUS was able to cram a full 10-phase digital power delivery system into this board without sacrificing any other integrated components. It's nice to see a manufacturer step up and design a mini-ITX board in the same vein as its full-sized counterpart. We put the board through our normal gamut of tests to see how well this mighty Mini-ITX board sized up with its full-sized brethren. At a retail list price of $219, the P8Z77-I Deluxe needs to prove its worth against the full sized boards.

ASUS designed a full 10 phases of digital power, housed in the board's upright daughter card sitting parallel to the CPU cooler. The P8Z77-I Deluxe with its high-end power plant is packed full of features, including SATA 2, SATA 3, e-SATA, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0 ports for storage devices. Networking capabilities include an Intel GigE NIC, a Broadcom dual-port 802.11n adapter, and a Broadcom Bluetooth adapter. The board also features a single PCI-Express x16 slot for graphics cards and other expansion cards.

The Dirty Dozen Haters of Hunting, Trapping & Fishing
" There are groups that undermine and manipulate systems across America to end hunting, trapping and fishing.
These same "less-than-honest" groups also often then exploit wildlife and conservation issues in the name of raising dollars for their devious causes.
Here are a dozen organizations that have taken efforts in the past year to prevent you from hunting or trapping:
1. Humane Society of the United States (HSUS): After losing an effort to have the chairman of California's Game Commission removed because he went legally hunting for mountain lions in another state, HSUS then pushed legislation to end the hunting of bears and bobcats with hounds in California. HSUS has also threatened to sue to stop wolf hunting in the Western Great Lakes region. Shame on them.
2. Center for Biological Diversity: This group has repeatedly sued the federal government to end the use of traditional hunting ammunition through attempts to ban lead. This ban would also apply to fishing tackle and would affect all sportsmen and women. The group's information is based on flawed details about lead and bullets. The CBD is also working-and suing-to stop Western Great Lakes region wolf hunting seasons. "

Charlie Daniels Admits He's a Taylor Swift Fan
Charlie Daniels says he has a lot of 'admiration' for fellow country star Taylor Swift. He recently went on the Big D and Bubba radio show and had some very nice things to say about the big star.
Daniels was asked if he was able to name three Taylor Swift songs and he replied, "No. I could not. But let me tell you something … I have a great admiration for Taylor Swift."
His favorite thing about Swift? How down-to-earth she remains even after she's become a worldwide celebrity, Daniels has played with her on more than one occasion and has nice things to say about every interaction.
"We had her down at the Christmas 4 Kids show one year, the first time I met her, and she was really getting off the ground and then she turned into a humongous star," Daniels explained on the radio show. "And I saw her later, we did a show together up in Canada, and somebody came up to speak to Taylor and she was just as down to earth and just as nice as she had been, which impresses me."
The songstress has been the subject of some scary news lately. She's dealing with two stalker situations! One of the men believes that Swift is his wife, so she recently obtained an extended restraining order over him. The other stalker recently attempted to trespass on Swift's property. Daniels had lots to say about that!
"I could put an end to that real quick," Daniels said of the issue. "He don't want to come to my house."

You will learn how to centre your clay, how to open your centred clay and how to draw up the clay walls of your pot. I'll also show you some quick and simple finishing techniques including profiling the base of your pot for that added zing before the final challenge, cutting your pot from the wheel.
The second period of the session is a timed 'speed-pot' where you and your friend take turns applying all you've learned in 5 minute quick fire 'pot-offs' on the wheel. You'll also experience throwing with your eyes closed relying entirely on touch alone and you'll be AMAZED at the results! The emphasis is on fun and learning as much from what goes wrong as what goes right. Choose your favourite pot at the end of the session for glazing and collection at a later date.
If you enjoy the experience, you can book further tuition and wheel time sessions if you wish to hone your newly acquired throwing skills further.

Retire Here, Not There: Virginia «
Virginia is home of the "half backs" —retirees from the north who tried Florida, decided it wasn't for them, and then came halfway back up the coast.
With its richly varied landscapes, including the rolling Blue Ridge Mountains in the west and Atlantic coastline to the east, it is easy to see why Virginia draws these migrants. While hot and humid summers in Florida and other states further south can be tough on the over-65 set, Virginia offers a comparatively milder climate. "You can golf nine or 10 months of the year here," says Robert G. Topping, a financial adviser at Covenant Wealth Advisors in Williamsburg, Va. Combine that with the state's plethora of recreational activities and urban amenities, along with a healthy smattering of college towns, and advisers say retirees have a broad palette to choose from.

Enlarge Image Virginia has its financial perks, too. The median home here sells for $210,800, according to Sperling's Best Places, and the average combined state and local sales tax rate in Virginia is just 5%, which puts it 44th in the nation, according to the Tax Foundation. And while cost-of-living in the state is 9.4% above the national average, it is far less pricey than many states to the north. Older professionals who are looking to continue working may also be in luck, as unemployment statewide is only about 5.5%.
As with any state, there are drawbacks. Millions of tourists descend on Virginia each year—Virginia Beach has more than 5 million annually, while Colonial Williamsburg gets about 1.7 million—making some areas less than ideal for retirees seeking a quieter retreat. On top of that, some of the most popular retirement spots are some of the state's least affordable. In Williamsburg, for instance, the median home price is $297,500 and the cost of living is 31.6% higher than the national average, according to Sperling's Best Places.
But that doesn't mean retirees can't find a beautiful beach community or mountain town without breaking the bank. With the help of financial advisers and natives of the Old Dominion State, MarketWatch.com identified four spots that have all the charm and natural beauty of historic Williamsburg, but at a fraction of the cost.

Injured Walker remains a doubt for World Cup
Tottenham's Kyle Walker is a doubt for England's FIFA World Cup campaign as he continues to struggle with injury.
The full-back has not turned out for his club since sustaining a pelvic problem on March 13, leading to fears he may not be fit in time to travel with the squad to Brazil next month.
And England manager Roy Hodgson has conceded that Walker's fitness is a worry, with his 23-man squad to be named on May 12.
"We haven't been told for certain that he will be out for the next six to 10 weeks but we are concerned," he said.
"I know he has had another injection. We are waiting to find out whether that helps. He has not been fit for a long time."
Meanwhile, Hodgson was less concerned over Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Phil Jagielka as the trio look to recover from their respective injuries.
"Jack Wilshere has been training for the Arsenal team for a while," added Hodgson. "I spoke to Arsene Wenger, who said he was holding him back.
"And from my conversation with Arsene, I don't think there is too much to worry about with Oxlade-Chamberlain either.
"We have had good reports back for the last few weeks. Everton were keen not to throw him (Jagielka) back in before his injury is 100 per cent right. We don't have any fears he won't be fit."

BOSTON, Mass. – The University of Massachusetts Boston Department of Athletics has announced that former Boston State College lacrosse and football player, the Honorable James P. Collins, III, will be inducted into the Athletics Hall of Fame as a member of the 2012 induction class.
The only Boston State College alumnus to be elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives, Collins will be one of 10 honorees that will be enshrined this October in the university's annual ceremony, which is also celebrating its 10th anniversary.
A three-year letterman in both lacrosse and football at Boston State College, Collins was instrumental in two of the most memorable lacrosse seasons in the college's history. He also served as one of the founders of the Boston State football program, which he quarterbacked in all three seasons, including its outstanding 6–1 finish in its inaugural year.
While with the lacrosse program, Collins helped lead the Warriors to the first USILA Colonial League championship, after closing out the 1972 season with an 112 record. That team would later be inducted into the UMass Boston Athletics Hall of Fame. In 1971, Collins, the team's go-to defensive midfielder, helped the Warriors set the single-season program record for wins with 12.
Off the field, Collins was active on campus and was elected student government president in his senior year. Following his graduation, Collins entered the political world and in 1977 he was elected to the Massachusetts House of Representatives. He subsequently joined the Governor Edward King administration and found time to serve on college committees including the Alumni Association Board and the Michael Crowley Memorial Foundation, named for a lacrosse teammate. His son, Rep. Nick Collins, currently serves the district that includes the UMass Boston campus area.
Collins earned his master's degree from Boston University and is currently the CEO of New England Business Partners, based in Boston. He is on the board of several companies, business groups, and charitable organizations, including the JFK Family Services Center in Charlestown, his hometown. Collins and his wife Mary live in South Boston and are proud parents of Michaela, Andrew, Nick, James P. IV, Mariella, and Olivia.
For more information about this year's Hall of Fame induction ceremony please contact Maria Marcelino at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 617-287-7895.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. - The Georgia College & State University softball coaching staff will hold a clinic Saturday, Nov, 21 for high school juniors and seniors.
The clinic will consist of a morning session from 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and an afternoon session beginning at 2 p.m. and ending at 4:30 p.m. The morning session is for positions players, while the afternoon segment is geared toward pitchers and catchers.

With three coaches on staff, Bobcat softball is constantly recruiting all over the state, region and country. This clinic will give the coaching staff the opportunity to see many potential recruits. It will also give the athletes a chance to see the newly renovated Peeler Complex softball field and learn from an experienced coaching staff. Both offensive and defensive skills will be instructed.
