Designer update The Preen Scene December 10, 2008 5:55 pm It’s been a very good year for Preen’s Thea Bregazzi and Justin Thornton. First, we noticed that both their main collection and commercial Preen Line have quietly become It girl and celebrity staples. It started in April with Gwyneth Paltrow showing off her gorgeous gams in a black Power Bandage dress, a perennial Preen style, during her Iron Man publicity tour. And in short order came more fabulous credits on Anne Hathaway, Leigh Lezark, Chloë Sevigny, Karolina Kurkova, Mandy Moore, and Sienna Miller. Most recently, Fabiola Beracasa wore their Frances dress to Aid for AIDS earlier this month; Cindy Crawford was spotted in the Band dress (Spring’s finale look) last weekend at a Darfur fundraiser in London; and Bond girl Gemma Arterton repeated Gwyneth’s Iron appearance stitch for stitch in a black Power Bandage at the British Academy Children’s Awards.

It comes with a flashlight, emergency siren, and—should you need to get back on the grid—a charger for cell phones and MP3 players. $80, etoncorp.com 464 days ago
Home > Blogs > Applications Applications A blog for the IT professional around applications for Compute Cluster Servers. This blog may include links to white papers, small code samples or scripts, as well as descriptions of application deployment projects and strategies. 2/28/2008 HPC Code Migration Using SUA The Subsystem for Unix-based Applications (SUA) is a full-featured POSIX compliant "OS" that runs natively on the Windows kernel. It's actually a subsystem in parity with the Win32 subsystem. SUA is available as an optional Windows feature on OS releases since Server R2 and including Server 2008. SUA has an interesting history which you can find here . SUA is useful for HPC application development and perhaps even more so for HPC application migration. Many HPC codes have a long history of availability on -nix variants. ...
