It's been a goal-scoring bonanza for Canadian players this week – and no, we're not even talking about Tesho Akindele.
More Canadians found the back of the net over the past seven days than in any other weeklong span in recent memory, which will come as great news for a goal-starved national team scheduled to face Jamaica at BMO Field on Sept. 9.
Foremost among the net-fillers were strikers Marcus Haber and Lucas Cavallini, who each bagged a brace for their respective clubs.
Haber notched his first two goals for his new club, Crewe Alexandra, in a 5-2 loss to Rochdale in England's League One on Tuesday, while Cavallini collected the first goal and the winner for Centro Atletico Fenix in their season-opening 3-1 victory over Juventud in Uruguay's Primera Division.
David Edgar also made a splash for his new club, scoring his first goal of the campaign for Birmingham City in their 2-2 draw with Ipswich Town on Tuesday.
Elsewhere in the UK, Fraser Aird got on the score sheet for Glasgow Rangers in their 8-1 demolition of Clyde in Scottish Challenge Cup play on Monday.
Up in Finland, Charlie Trafford tallied the only goal of the match, his second of the season, for KuPS in its 1-0 win over MYPA last Wednesday.
And over in Germany, with the first round of the DPB-Pokal (German Cup) getting underway, Randy Edwini-Bonsu bulged the onion bag for Stuttgarter Kickers, though they were knocked out by Borussia Dortmund by a score of 4-1.
Andre Hainault (VfR Aalen) could have added to the Canadian cavalcade of goals, but he failed to convert during a penalty shootout against BSV Schwarz-Reiss Rehden. Luckily for him, the rest of his teammates converted their penalties, and his side advanced to the second round of the DFB-Pokal.
Hainault, however, was the only active Canadian whose side found success in the German Cup.
Nik Ledgerwood's Energie Cottbus were knocked out on penalties against Hamburger SV (Ledgerwood played 77 minutes), while Marcel de Jong's Augsburg went out 1-0 to Magdeburg, with de Jong playing 84 minutes.
Amidst all of the goal scoring and German Cup drama, there were a few more notable moments this week for Canadians finding new homes abroad.
Simeon Jackson made his first appearance for Coventry City after signing with the club earlier this week, coming in as a late substitute in Tuesday's 2-2 draw with Barnsley.
Jordan Hamilton, the 18-year-old striker on loan from Toronto FC, made his first two appearances for CD Trofense in Portugal, starting last Wednesday before coming on as a sub in Sunday's match.
And Atiba Hutchinson's side, Besiktas, earned a 0-0 draw with Arsenal in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League playoff showdown on Tuesday, with the deciding fixture coming next Wednesday at the Emirates. Hutchinson himself missed the game due to a hamstring injury – but could the Canadian veteran step in next week and provide a decisive boost for his team?
Given the way things have gone for Canadians this week, you wouldn't want to count him out.

For some time now, members of the auto industry have been racing to add gears to automatic transmissions in a quest to develop the theoretically perfect gearbox. But for a senior executive at transmission specialist and automotive engineering giant ZF Friedrichshafen AG, the race could soon reach a cul-de-sac.
As for the reason, Julio Caspari, president of ZF's North American operations, told Automotive News that adding more gears may fail to enhance fuel efficiency enough to justify the cost. Caspari hinted that the "Can you top this?" race to add gears could be accelerated by marketing considerations rather than fuel economy.
Caspari said that there is only an 11 percent gap between the most efficient transmissions today and a theoretically perfect gearbox. The ZF executive said that producing gearboxes that epitomize a perfect transmission would be very expensive. ZF commenced producing eight-speed transmission in 2009, developed for cars and light trucks with longitudinal engines and that provides 11 percent better fuel economy than a standard six-speed automatic.
Chrysler Group made news when it adopted the gearbox for its Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger vehicles. ZF will begin producing its nine-speed transmissions in 2013, while Chrysler will produce both the eight- and nine-speed gearbox under license at its own factories.
According to ZF, the nine-speed gearbox, developed for transverse-mounted engines, provides 16 percent better fuel economy than a standard six-speed automatic. Chrysler plans to use nine-speed transmissions on all of its front-wheel-drive models. On the other hand, Hyundai Motor Group was reported to be developing a 10-speed gearbox. Caspari, however, seems to not be bothered by the report, as ZF will next focus on upgrading its eight-speed automatic transmission. [source: Autonews]

To avoid disappointment, read our guide to… last posting dates for Christmas delivery
Home > General Fiction > Contemporary
Title: Nutshell
Author: Ian McEwan
Weight: 637g
Signed first edition, first printing
Sorry, sold out
To be bound in a nutshell, see the world in two inches of ivory, in a grain of sand. Why not, when all of literature, all of art, of human endeavour, is just a speck in the universe of possible things.
Trudy has betrayed her husband, John. She's still in the marital home – a dilapidated, priceless London townhouse – but not with John. Instead, she's with his brother, the profoundly banal Claude, and the two of them have a plan. But there is a witness to their plot: the inquisitive, nine-month-old resident of Trudy's womb.
Told from a perspective unlike any other, Nutshell is a classic tale of murder and deceit from one of the world's master storytellers.
A creative gamble that pays off brilliantly… Witty and gently tragic, this short, bewitching novel is an ode to humanity's beauty, selfishness and inextinguishable longing.
At once playful and deadly serious, delightful and frustrating it is one of McEwan's hardest to categorise works, and all the more interesting for it.
Nutshell is an orb, a Venetian glass paperweight, of a book; a place where, be warned, it puts you in the quoting mood… it is a consciously late, deliberately elegiac, masterpiece, a calling together of everything McEwan has learned and knows about his art.

Team Confufish Royale, consisting of a group of students from the University of New South Wales, have won the local Microsoft Imagine Cup finals and will go on to represent Australia on the global stage in Russia later this year.
The Microsoft Imagine Cup is a global tournament that brings together the brightest young minds to create a better future by using technology to solve some of the world's toughest problems.
Team Confufish Royale was picked for its entry, Project Foodbank Local, which addresses the issue of hunger.
Project Foodbank Local connects donor agencies with food distribution centres and soup kitchens through a distribution and logistics system.
Charities and those in need are able to input their need requirements, while suppliers can input their surplus supplies into the system. It then connects the two, enabling the charities to efficiently plan for how to meet their meal demands, with the solution also providing real-time tracking of deliveries.
In addition, communities are also alerted to when help is needed in their local area and are given the option to either lend a hand and volunteer their time, or buy meals for people in their neighbourhood.
The students of Team Confufish Royale said they decided on this project as hunger is largely a hidden social problem in Australia – each year more than two million Australians rely on food relief, with around half of them being children.
The new winners have a lot to take inspiration from.
The Royal Children's Hospital in Melbourne has adopted 2012 winners, StethoCloud's technology and its staff are currently being trained on the adapted stethoscope solution.
The 2013 Microsoft Imagine Cup finals will be taking place in St. Petersburg, Russia from July 8 to July 11.

Yelp and PackageKit
Mallard was designed from the beginning to make it easy for plugins to add pages into application help documents. This works really well in a lot of cases, but sometimes you want to mention extra functionality even when the plugin isn't installed. And sometimes, extra functionality is provided by plugins to backend frameworks. A GStreamer plugin isn't going to install Banshee help files, and a Telepathy plugin isn't going to install Empathy help files.
So we have pages in the Empathy help that talk about using IRC. To use IRC in Empathy, you have to have telepathy-idle installed, and it turns out that some distros don't install it by default. If the help just blindly assumes it's installed, it just leaves the user confused. So we addressed this by adding a note like this:
This is somewhat helpful. The user at least knows why all those IRC options aren't showing up. If he's savvy, he'll open his package manager and be chatting in no time. If not, he at least has something to Google for. But why not make it easier?
Click the link and you get this:
This is not a mockup. This is yelp-3-0. And it rocks.

Nice work! Can't wait to see this in action. Already thinking of how Banshee can use this for MP3 and other codecs.
2010-03-17 at 20:53
This does rock. Awesome work, Shaun!
2010-03-18 at 1:02
What happens if the package is already installed?
2010-03-18 at 1:05
You rock man! This is pure awesomeness!
2010-03-18 at 1:20
But the big question is when yelp-webkit will be merged in yelp-3-0?
2010-03-18 at 1:32
It's so logical that I wonder why it hasn't been done before Good point !!!
2010-03-18 at 2:32
Packagekit should supply metadata i think, so that this help page could say "IRC support for Empathy" instead of "telepathy-idle".
2010-03-18 at 3:04
Woah! That sure rocks!
2010-03-18 at 3:24
This looks brilliant… a couple of questions:
How is this marked up? How are differences in package names across distributions accounted for? Is there documentation for this available (quick glance at the current Mallard docs didn't turn anything up)?
2010-03-18 at 3:30
Seriously rock!
2010-03-18 at 4:24
How do you determine the package name? It will probably be different in different distros. I guess you have a configure option for the documentation build system?
2010-03-18 at 4:41
Very seriously rocks!
2010-03-18 at 7:57
This rocks! This is going to be the first time I will actually and in good conscience recommend users to look at Help documents. Thank you for working on this!
2010-03-18 at 11:30
Why do you ask the user twice if they want to install the package? They've already decided to install it by clicking on the first link.
2010-03-18 at 13:15
You shouldn't need conditionals at all. I think all the packaging systems understand the equivalent of rpm's "virtual provides." The install:whatever
will look for any package which provides whatever.
What is really going to be helpful is for there to be a way to help distributors compile a complete listing of what those whatevers for all the yelp controlled documentation are so the virtual provides in the packaging can be placed correct in the packaging.
So take the empathy example… when people are prepping empathy for packaging there needs to be a clean way to get a complete listing of all the packagekit interactions that the empathy documentation embeds which we can then shove into a distribution specific built time checker to ensure all the provides are already covered in packaging.. and flag the ones that don't so they can be fixed by adding the corresponding virtual provide in other packages.
Instead of conditionals what needs to happen is a consensus discussion on what that namespace should look like. For codecs there's the common mimetype namespace already which is a no-brainer. But what you are talking about is more abstract and there needs to be an effort to come to consensus instead of conditionalized code which just adds complexity.
2010-03-19 at 6:59
Next step: links that allow to go directly to a configuration panel or to launch an action. If I lookup how to change my login photo, then no need to navigate the configuration menu/panels, just open the right panel for me.

Hello everyone,
Just two terminology questions which I have not found answer from MSDN. I am using Windows Server 2003.
1. Page File (PF) Curve
I think Page File is system page swap file (persistent storage to store page-out pages by a page stealer). Is that correct?
If yes, I do not know why this parameter is so important and displayed in central together with CPU surve. I think physical memory consumed and available is more important to analyze performance, right?
How do you use the page file parameter to analyze performance and how it impacts performance in your experience?
2. What are the differences between System Cache and Kernel memory?
thanks in advance,

In November-December 2014, Patrick Wagnon and some colleagues conducted their bi-annual field trip on Mera Glacier (Hinku-Hunku valley, East Nepal). The objectives were to assess the annual and seasonal glacier-wide mass balance of this glacier, using the glaciological method [Wagnon et al., 2013 - http://www.the-cryosphere-discuss.net/7/3337/2013/tcd-7-3337-2013.html], as well as installing or maintaining some meteorological stations, to understand the processes that drive the melting or accumulation of this glacier. This field trip has been successfully conducted.
AWS Photo of the AWS1-5360, on Changri Nup Glacier
The team stayed 10 days on Changri Nup Glacier (21 November – 1 December), reading and installing ablation stakes between 5300 and 5500 m, installing a new meteorological station on the debris covered part of the glacier carrying out some GPR measurements for debris property characterization, and performing DGPS survey for thickness change assessment. Then the team stayed 5 days on Mera Glacier (6-11 December) reading ablation stakes between 5000 and 5500 m, performing accumulation measurements between 5500 and 6400 m, collecting meteorological data and performing DGPS survey for thickness change assessment. The outcomes of such a work are to assess the glacier-wide annual mass balances of those glaciers, to evaluate the local meteorological conditions prevailing in this high-altitude environment, and to understand the processes (melting, accumulation) controlling the inter-annual variability of the glacier mass and volume. These glaciers, Changri Nup and Mera Glacier, are benchmark glaciers of this region, and serve also to validate surveys conducted from space.

Energy Hunter Resources Announces Flow Rate on the
Gap Band #2H Well in the Eagle Ford Shale of Karnes County, Texas
Irving, TX, January 10, 2018 — Energy Hunter Resources, Inc., an exploration and production company headquartered in Irving, Texas, announced today that the Gap Band #2H well located in Karnes County, Texas reached a peak 24-hour flow rate of 1,322 Boe per day from a 3,855 foot lateral drilled and completed in the Eagle Ford shale. The well is currently producing approximately 900 barrels of oil per day and 2,594 Mcf per day (approximately 68% liquids).
The Gap Band #2H well has been online since January 1, 2018 and is producing on a 18/64 choke. The Gap Band #2H 3,855 foot lateral was completed with 21 frac stages and placed approximately 2,990 pounds of sand per lateral foot.
Gary C. Evans, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Energy Hunter Resources said, "The Gap Band #2H is presently exceeding our initial type curve projections and is the first well of an ultimate seven well Eagle Ford drilling program. Our management team's previous work experience in the Eagle Ford shale, combined with our strategic lease acreage position located in Karnes County, Texas, one of the top oil producing counties in the State of Texas by volume, all contributed to this initial success. We currently plan to drill two additional horizontal Eagle Ford wells and a minimum of two horizontal San Andres wells this calendar year."
"Evans continued, "After nearly a three year downturn in the energy industry, we are finally starting to see our sector begin to recover and stabilize as commodity prices continue to improve. The combination of WTI oil now trading over $60 per barrel, our total drilling and completion costs for this first Eagle Ford shale well at $5.5 million, and utilizing our current estimated production curve, should generate an internal rate of return on this well exceeding 100%. We now plan to commence workover and drilling operations on our first San Andres property acquisition over the next few months.

France in search of a hero
Hundreds of miles, 10 nights, seven rail journeys, six towns, two cities - and hardly a flicker of interest anywhere in the French elections.
And that was not about issues or candidates - it was about the traditional amnesty granted to motorists by a new president.
This is a presidential election without real questions, real answers or real passion.
But none of them is a particular feature in this election.
Several times politicians and the media have lit the blue touch paper, only to stand back and watch it go out again.
The corruption issue fizzled for a bit, but burned itself out despite the return from exile of a key suspect.
A winter of discontent crackled and hissed for several months, before petering out in spring.
Big questions over health and pensions turned out to be on a really slow fuse.
Only the crime issue looked as though it might really catch light, fuelled by two horrific shooting incidents.
But for every person I met who thought crime was a problem, another said Jacques Chirac was using it as a smokescreen to avoid discussion of other issues, and was playing on people's fears.
France is a country where most people are deeply interested in politics but seem to have shunned the political process.
It remains a country of extraordinary contrasts and contradictions, in landscape, culture and personalities.
Where the discussion on morning radio flows effortlessly from Voltaire to male beauty products, and where corruption is tolerated but jay-walking remains frowned upon.
It is a country where people will engage you in lengthy and informed political discussion, before telling you they have never voted and never will.
And where people complain bitterly about the two leading candidates, despite having it in their power to send any one of 16 people to the presidential palace.
The journey from north to south is a fantastic one. It takes you from the green farmland of the north, through the vast open expanses and prairie-style fields of central France, through the volcanic mountains of the Massif Central, and finally to the Mediterranean.
The changing landscape is home to very different cultures.
I found nothing but warmth, courtesy and kindness virtually everywhere I went.
And I found almost uniform disinterest and cynicism from north to south.
"Politics is like dust in your eye, like bobbles on your jumper," one man in Calais told me. "Politicians are like factories which only produce gas."
"When journalists ask them how much a baguette costs, they don't know," one woman in Millau told me.
"They live in a completely different world, which has nothing to do with ours," said another in Narbonne.
Almost everyone else complains at the lack of differerence between the two main contenders and the perceived corruption of all politicians.
Mr Chirac and Mr Jospin are indistinguishable - a bonnet blanc and blanc bonnet - a white hat and a white hat. I have heard exactly the same refrain in northern, central and southern France.
Amid the weariness at the whole affair were some voices of hope for the future.
"Everyone says the young people of France are not interested in politics," said young teacher Samir Chergui, drinking coffee in a bar in Narbonne.
"But that's not true. The young are in 'standby' mode. They are waiting to be led."
"Everyone is looking for his candidate, for someone to believe in," he tells me.
"When people can trust someone, and find someone to represent their views, they will be much happier."
As my journey ends beside the Mediterranean Sea, more than 600 miles (1,000km) from where I watched the ferries set sail from Calais, I think he has captured the essence of the nation's problem.
France is desperately in search of a political hero, but doesn't even know where to look.
Sheila Barter has been travelling across France to gauge the mood ahead of the forthcoming presidential election - this is the last of her reports.

9:46 pm
Hi everybody! I got back in Seattle late on the 22nd, and now that I've gotten through Christmas, I'm excited to start blogging again once more.
We recently had a major, prolonged snow-producing pattern for our region. I actually went up to Snoqualmie Pass today for a job interview to be a ski instructor (it was a success... I'll be teaching Saturdays & Sundays at Alpental), and there was a TON of snow there. Snow was already plainly visible on the Issaquah Alps, and it really started piling up once we got to Denny Creek, which is about 6 miles west of the Summit. Once we finally hit the Summit, we bore witness to a base that was easily over 6 feet (the Summit At Snoqualmie says their base at Summit West is 93"), and it was even more when we went to Alpental. The trees were absolutely buried in snow; some were fully submerged. It was quite a sight to behold. We brought our dog with us, and he was very happy to be there.
The two pictures below show the snow water equivalent (how much water you would have if you melted down all the snow in one location) for two dates: December 8 (the day I left for Indonesia), and today, December 26. Both pictures were retrieved from the National Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center.
On December 8, the Washington Cascades had a modest snowpack, but amounts were still below normal. The Oregon Cascades were really suffering; there was hardly any there. Now, both places are absolutely covered in snow, and Eastern Washington and Oregon have a ton as well. The Olympics have a healthy snowpack, as does Vancouver Island. There has even been some snow in the lowlands north of Portland and in some places away from the water around Western Washington. There's snow everywhere. Life is good. But if you think it's been snowing hard in Washington, check out what's been happening to Southeast Oregon, Southwest Idaho, and Northern Nevada. One basin in Northern Nevada has 239% of their normal SWE! Pretty much everybody in the West is at or well above normal when it comes to snowpack. The only exceptions are the Bighorn Mountains of Wyoming and a few select stations in the Central and Northern Rockies.

It's been great so far. But things are changing.
At hour 135, the split is even stronger.
How long does this pattern last? It looks like it will last for at least the next two weeks, and I have a feeling it will last even longer than that. The models have repeatedly shown that this pattern isn't letting up. Here's the forecast for hour 384, which is the farthest this model goes out.
We've had a good run, but we could only postpone its arrival for so long. Remember that big blob (not the "Blob;" that has died) of warm water in the tropical Pacific? That whole El Niño thing? Well, El Niños tend not to truly unleash their fury (or as you will see, lack thereof) for the West Coast until the New Year. Our latest El Niño picture shows one comparable to the massive El Niño of December 1997, and that is saying something.
|Credit: NASA
The jet stream, the high altitude winds that shape our weather, is heavily dependent on temperature differences between the tropics and poles. The larger the temperature difference, the faster and more powerful the jet stream, and the stronger the storms that it carries. El Niño makes the atmosphere in the tropical Pacific warmer than normal, causing there to be a larger temperature difference and therefore causing the jet stream to strengthen.
|Retrieved from brundage.com
One would think that this strengthening jet stream would translate into stronger storms for us. However, during El Niños, the jet stream often gets so strong that it splits into two weaker sections off our coast, with one going to our north and one going to our south. We are left with dry and relatively warm conditions with the occasional weak storm, while our friends in California and Alaska experience above-average rainfall. The major models all indicate that we will be undergoing this pattern change and they have been very consistent in doing so.
In fact, let's take a look at the jet stream right now from the GFS model. This model shows the winds in knots at the 300mb level of the atmosphere, which is about 30,000 feet or where your typical Boeing 737 cruises.
Even now, you can see that the jet stream in the Eastern Pacific is starting to break down. Meanwhile, the jet in the Western Pacific is as strong as ever.
|Credit: NCEP
Uh-oh. At hour 54 (Monday night our time), a split develops. Look at that maniacal jet in the West Pacific though.
|Credit: NCEP
At hour 135, the split is even stronger.

Our rain/snow/wind/fun looks to be over for quite some time. The Climate Prediction Center is predicting below average precipitation and above average temperatures for this time frame for the Pacific Northwest. I love hot and dry weather in the summer, but not in the winter!

|Credit: CPC
I wish it weren't so, but it looks like the most exciting of the winter is behind us. However, I'm quite interested to see what will happen to Southern California, especially in February. They should get some tremendous drought relief, and they need water far more than we do. They could see some pretty intense storms then, but that is a month away. We will see.
Still, let's be thankful for all the great snow we've gotten so far this season! The Summit was packed today, and most people weren't even skiers or snowboarders. They were just coming up to see the snow. There were toddlers, dogs, and plenty of toboggans, and everybody looked like they were having a fantastic time.
Thanks for reading!

The idea of going on a diet seems frightening what with the work that you need to put in counting calories, choosing the right kinds of food, and paying attention to what goes inside your mouth. But does losing weight have to be that hard to accomplish? Well, not really.
Losing weight shouldn't be much of an ordeal and doesn't even mean that you should go to extreme dieting to achieve the desired results. As a matter of fact, you will be surprised when you read the following tips on how to lose weight without even going on a diet.
- Keep good food close to you. Place good food options like a bowl of sliced apples or any fruit near you and chances are that you will be reaching for it more often compared to having to stand up to go to the fridge to have a slice of cake or ice cream. You can make a salad or even bake some kale chips if you like so you can satisfy your hunger in between meals but in a healthy way.
- Rehydrate often. Another secret to losing weight without dieting is to make sure that you rehydrate often. Lack of water in your body can trigger cravings and even dehydration when it is extreme. A good rule of thumb to follow is to drink up to 8 glasses of water every day or more if you have been working out or have plenty of activities throughout the day.
- Sit down when eating. In our fast paced lives, we often find ourselves eating while standing. Unfortunately, this is actually contributing to our weight gain because we don't pay attention to what we are eating and whether we are already full. Make it a point to have your meals sitting down because you will be able to focus more on what is in front of you. You'll notice a difference in your weight with this eating practice in no time.
- Get some sleep. If you think that your sleep habits are not related to weight gain, think again. When your body is not properly rested, it will look for alternate sources of energy which, in this case, is food. Lack of sleep can make you crave for foods that are high in sugar or salt content because they can give your energy levels a boost. A better option would be to get enough sleep every day. So make sure that you are in bed early to give your body time to heal itself.
- Skip the diet soda. You might think that drinking diet soda is safe for you as it won't make you gain weight. Unfortunately, the opposite actually happens. Diet sodas are high in empty calories that actually settle in your midsection which is why your waist becomes larger compared to those who don't drink this kind of beverage. Avoid drinking this if you want to lose weight.
- Walk it off. Even the simplest movement can have an effect on your body especially when you are trying to lose weight so instead of sitting down in a cafe with your friends while catching up with one another, how about taking a stroll in the park? Or even go on a bike ride so you can melt off the fats while bonding with your bestie?

FFSJ Is The Fastest File Splitter And Joiner For Windows
When it comes to splitting a file into defined chunks, software which claims to be the fastest must be tried out first. Contrasting to several file splitters/joiners we've reviewed before like, File Splitter Lite, Cryogenic and File Tools, FFSJ is another file splitting & joining program which offers blazing fast file splitting speed with an equivalent pace for joining the chunks back. Furthermore, it integrates with Windows shell, letting you split and join files from right-click context menu. You can also a generate a MD5 checksum copy of a file for checking any sort of fabrications.
According to the author "it can optimize disk-cache and memory usage, this makes FFSJ 3-5 times faster than HJ-Split, WinSplit, MasterSplitter in both splitting and joining tasks. Of course, it is much faster than any compression program". Usage is pretty simple, all that is required is to specify the source and output paths and then tweak the provided options & ways in which the file splitting is to be performed. It lets you split file into specified equal parts with an option to manually select the chunk size along with size unit (MB, KB, GB). Moreover, you can encrypt the chunks with password and let it delete source file after splitting. When you've done with setting up options, click Split to split up file into defined parts.
Joining parts of file is also easy, you just need to specify source path and output directory to join the scattered file parts back. To create MD5 checksum copy of a file which you wish to share with others, just click Get & Copy button to generate MD5 checksum.
Files can also be split and joined back using the Windows Shell. Select multiple files that you just split, right-click on any one of them, and select Join to join them back.
As far as the comparison goes with other aforementioned tools, File Splitter Lite (which we reviewed back in August and found to be very fast) took 45 secs to split a hefty HD video file having size 885 MB whereas this tool took only 28 seconds to split up the same file. This proves that FFSJ is indeed the fastest out there, making the developer's claim true. It must also be noted here that file splitting & joining speed is subjected to the system specifications, so speed may vary in your experience.
FFSJ works on all versions of Windows, we tested it on Windows 7 x86 system.

(28/09/2010 Physica A 391, 715-730, 2012, arXiv:1009.5499)
In this paper we introduce a simple model for a financial market characterized by a single stock or good and an interplay between two different traders populations, chartists and fundamentalists, which determine the price dynamic of the stock. The model has been inspired by the microscopic Lux-Marchesi model (T.Lux, M.Marchesi, Nature 397, (1999), 498--500).
The introduction of kinetic equations permits to study the asymptotic behavior of the investments and the price distributions and to characterize the regimes of lognormal behavior and the formation of power law tails.

At a time when the world looks on in trepidation as the Chinese and North Koreans test their missiles, many of us have failed to notice testing on a similar scale of life-changing consequences much closer to home. Rather than a Pacific atoll or remote desert location, the testing ground is suburban London and the world power is BT.
Working in partnership with Alcatel Lucent, BT last month tested a super-channel across an existing BT fibre-optic network resulting in a record-breaking 1.4 Terabits per second.
The trial made use of an existing 410km fibre link between the BT Tower and BT's Adastral Park in Ipswich, featuring seven 200Gbps channels transmitted via Alcatel-Lucent's 1830 Photonic Service Switch (PSS).
The successful test demonstrates that in future ISPs could deliver a greater amount of information through existing broadband infrastructure, obviating the need for upgrades. BT offers no conclusive views on future deployment or the benefits to be derived but logic suggests that prices to the end user should fall. Genius resellers watch this space.

EK Water Blocks
EK-Supremacy - Nickel
- EK-Supremacy
- a direct successor of EK-Supreme HF
- is an unrivaled top performance universal water block. Fits all modern CPU sockets and is equipped with a universal mounting mechanism
Stock Code: WC-204-EK
Manufacturer: EK Water Blocks
+44 (0)1782 44 44 55
EK-Supremacy - NickelEK-Supremacy is a result of round clock development, years of experience and rigorous testing. As a new EK flagship this product again combines top hydraulic and thermal performance.
EK-Supremacy is a universal CPU water block that fits all modern CPU sockets with a universal mounting mechanism that offers error-preventing, tool-less installation. The result is a perfect installation which results in perfect performance every time. EK-Supremacy is truly the best product for performance seeking enthusiasts.
EK-Supremacy is a successor of the legendary EK-Supreme HF water block launched in 2010. It's main improvements are:
- better hydraulic performance: due to improved design up to 20% higher flow compared to EK-Supreme HF
- better cooling performance: up to 2°C lower CPU temperatures compared to EK-Supreme HF
The EK-Supremacy cooling engine uses similar, yet refined as per needs of modern microprocessors, fin design as its ancestor. The cooling liquid accelerates through jet plate's nozzle and turbulently continues its path through numerous very thin channels which provide extreme cooling surface area. Specifically designed and carefully machined copper base (sometimes referred to as 'cold plate') is made from purest copper available on the market and is further polished to absolute mirror finish. This alone greatly improves the cooling performance of EK-Supremacy.
EK-Supremacy is also the first CPU water block on the market which has been optimized for every modern CPU platform independently with the use of different type of jet plates to ensure the best contact with the CPU integrated heat spreader (IHS). These jet plates of different shape and thickness are enclosed with the product.
Plexi top variants have two slots for easy installation of 3mm LED diodes.
CPU socket compatibility:
- Intel LGA-1155 / 1156 / 1150
- Intel LGA-1366
- Intel LGA 2011
- AMD Sockets: 939, 754, 940
- AMD Sockets: AM2, AM2+, AM3, AM3+
Enclosed in the box:
- EK-Supremacy series water block
- EK-CPU Precise Mount mounting mechanism
- EK-Supremacy Backplate system (Intel LGA-1366 & AMD AMx Backplate; Intel LGA-115x Backplate ; rubber gasket)
- Additional AMD Socket mounting plate
- TIM / thermal grease: Gelid GC-Extreme (EKWB 1.6g)
- Legacy socket Intel LGA-775 is not supported by default – a EK-Backplate Supremacy LGA-775 is mandatory to install this water block on LGA-775 motherboards.
- Narrow server type LGA-2011 is not supported by default – a Mounting plate Supremacy LGA-2011 Narrow ILM is mandatory to install this water block on narrow server type LGA-2011 motherboards.

Customer review
Great Block.
I was somewhat sceptical and the design of these new EK blocks at first, but having seen one in the flesh i must say the design has grown on me, to the point where i think it actually looks better than the old style.
Looks aside, the performance of this block is great, keeps my 4.4 Ghz 3570k from never going above 61 degrees in prime with my fans running silent and the pump at its lowest setting. A big difference compared to my H60, which broke 80 degrees on most occasions with the fans kicking out quite some noise.

With it's clean, vertical lines and solid constructions, this beautiful barn door will match almost any decor. This understated aesthetic is making a resurgence with the recent move towards minimalism designs. Its simplicity gives it a timeless quality that will be relevant for decades to come. The Plank Barn Door is available in two wood finishes:
Barnwood Knotty Alder features a distinctive weather-worn texture with enhanced distressed marks for an authentic barn door look. The wood is heavily textured with knots, occasional holes, distress marks and the odd rusty nail. The Barnwood finish is applied by hand and is irregular in stain, color and appearance. No two doors are alike.
Rustic Knotty Alder features the natural patterns and features of Knotty Alder without the weathered look and nail-details of the Barnwood. This texture is not smooth as it has the occasional mill mark and knot-hole to give it a rustic appeal. However, this style looks quite striking when finished.
Both styles use real wide tongue-and-groove wooden planks and are available finished or unfinished. For double doors, order two of the same style.
Custom sizes available upon request: from 24"x 48" tall up to 60" wide x 96" tall; in 6" width increments and 2" height increments. Call or email if you require a quote for a custom size.
Residential liftgate delivery: $295 for the first door and $40 for each additional door. Ships from manufacturer within 12 business days. Freight shipping takes 4-5 business days depending on location.

Lawn Fawn Inspiration Week: Pa-Rum-Pa-Pum-Pum
It's the first day of projects for Lawn Fawn's Inspiration Week (and my first post with the DT, yay!). Today we are featuring the new Holiday set Pa-Rum-Pa-Pum-Pum. I really wanted to use the cute train in this set so here is what I came up with.
I colored the train & bear with copics and adhered them to the embossed panel with foam adhesive. I used some pattern paper from the new My Mind's Eye 12 Days of Christmas paper pad for the borders and tag. And I finished it off with some "recycled" string. Does it look familiar? (Recycled from some Lawn Fawn packaging as a matter of fact)
I love that the train can be made as long, or short as you want and maybe the other toys can ride the train too. Although this is a holiday set, the images would be great for all types of cards for instance, I made a Baby card using the bear and rocking horse for my post yesterday! (which you can check out HERE) And I already have some other Non-Christmas ideas floating around in my head which I can't wait to create & share!
I hope you have enjoyed seeing my card today. Be sure to visit the Lawn Fawn blog to see the other amazing creations of the Design Team and a for chance to win!
Thanks for stopping by!
P.S. Thank you ALL for your warm welcoming comments on yesterday's Lawn Fawn Blog post. I have never felt more welcomed. And so many people knew about Asheville, seems everywhere I go I find someone who has been here. It's a popular little town! :)

Howard Greenberg Gallery
41 East 57th Street, Manhattan
Through Jan. 28
Steven Kasher Gallery
521 West 23rd Street, Chelsea
Through Feb. 25
These two exhibitions nominate a new candidate for the pantheon of great 20th-century street photographers: Vivian Maier (1926-2009), who worked as a nanny in New York and Chicago, took pictures incessantly, printed only a few of the more than 100,000 negatives she amassed, and never published or exhibited her work. The variety of images suggests a consuming curiosity; the lack of prints an almost unfathomable sureness in her own vision. Similarly, she rarely took more than one shot of a scene.
The images are wonderful, with a keen but unvarnished empathy for their subjects, who include children, women, the indigent and the elderly. Other recurring themes suggested by the selections here are people who are asleep or are otherwise unaware of being photographed, among them travelers and commuters, as well as self-portraits. These reveal a tall, slightly awkward, intent woman — usually wearing a plain hat — who was intrigued by the spatial complexities of reflections.
Maier, who never married and seems to have had few friends, recorded life as it passed her by, but she also portrayed herself planted in its midst, pursuing her passion. That is hinted at by an image at Kasher, a rare interior taken inside a suburban home that shows a woman, with a coat drawn over her nightgown, talking to a man who is about to leave for work. A small dog with something in its mouth looks up at the camera.
Maier's photographs lack the consistent, indelible style of Diane Arbus, Helen Levitt, Garry Winogrand or any number of her contemporaries. Instead they may add to the history of 20th-century street photography by summing it up with an almost encyclopedic thoroughness, veering close to just about every well-known photographer you can think of, including Weegee, Robert Frank and Richard Avedon, and then sliding off in another direction. Yet they maintain a distinctive element of calm, a clarity of composition and a gentleness characterized by a lack of sudden movement or extreme emotion.
The story of the discovery of Maier's work by John Maloof, a former real estate agent in Chicago who has become the primary caretaker of her art, is more familiar to that of outsider art, which has been redefined over the past half-century by the sudden posthumous appearance of artists like Henry Darger, whose work came to light almost exactly 40 years ago, also in Chicago. With tens of thousands of negatives to be scanned or printed, it will be some time before the whole of Maier's achievement and the extent of her obsession is revealed. We can only count our blessings and wait.Continue reading the main story


text: This is good advice and also lends itself appreciating quality at a later date when compared to a stiff combo outfit with level line, etc. My first fish was caught on a hand line peering over a dock. I was hooked and started a lifetime of learning and aquiring equipment. Either at the bench or on the water, there is nothing that beats practice. Even with a simple vice and limited materials or a hand me down glass rod and a single action reel, fish, fish, fish. Way to go Sarge!

Villanueva gives Steelers teammates army helmet decals
PITTSBURGH (AP) — Gradually over the course of the post-bye practice week at Pittsburgh Steelers headquarters, Alejandro Villanueva made the rounds to visit each of his teammates.
The starting left tackle, Villanueva was handing out helmet decals. But these stickers weren't of his team's familiar logo, nor were they even stickers representing the six military branches that players across the NFL are wearing in November.
A West Point graduate, Villanueva had acquired decals representing army infantry divisions from his former school. With the blessing of the Steelers, he wished to distribute them for players to wear on their helmets during the Steelers game on Veterans Day weekend.
And not unlike a parent contemplating the perfect Christmas gift for each of his children, the former Army Ranger was taking special care in choosing the appropriate decal for each teammate.
"Someone like him who served, taking the time out of his day to actually get us individual stickers that represent a certain infantry or a certain division, you always take a lot of pride and admiration in that," linebacker Arthur Moats said.
Moats — a respected veteran teammate of Villanueva's — showed off the ivy-inspired, diamond-shaped logo representing the 4th Infantry Division, a unit that uses the motto, "Steadfast and Loyal." Another example was a decal for the Fort Riley, Kansas-based 1st Infantry Division for Kansas-native lineman B.J. Finney.
Villanueva saved a special decal for the Steelers' cornerbacks corps.
"I believe that we have the best corners in the NFL, so I assign them the best division in (the army), which is the 10th Mountain Division," said Villanueva, who was assigned to the unit for a counter terrorism tour in Afghanistan. "Obviously, I am biased. But I think they really are."
Players across the locker room shook hands with Villanueva upon being presented with their decal. Some hugged the well-respected player who's in his third season as a starter after not breaking into the league until his mid-20s because of his military commitments.
"Ultimately those guys in the 4th infantry, granted, I don't know any of them, but however I conduct myself on Sunday, they are going to be able to see that (logo), and they are going to be able to relate," Moats said.
That's important to service members and veterans, Villanueva said, and not only because it's the NFL's "Salute to Service" month intended to honor veterans.
"I see the NFL try these attempts to honor the military," Villanueva said, "but as somebody who was in the military, I know exactly what means a lot to me. When I see a 'U.S. Army' (logo), I say, 'Yeah, cool.' But it doesn't really speak a lot to me.
"But you see, 'Oh, holy smokes, that's 'The 82nd,' or the '3rd I.D.' and Cameron Heyward is from Georgia, and so he's wearing the 3rd I.D, if the player knew the impact that he has on that specific unit, and he makes a play and you see the patch: 3rd I.D. those are huge. That means a lot more. It's almost like showing something you can truly identify with. The flag? Everybody is going to honor the flag, sure. We all love the flag. But the specific unit patch that you fought with? It means a lot to a lot of people."
Villanueva earlier this season found himself thrust in the middle of what has become a spirited national discussion about honoring active-duty military and veterans via standing for "The Star-Spangled Banner" while also respecting the rights of peaceful protest of players who have elected to kneel or sit during the pregame playing of the anthem.
While his natural default is to remain a private person, Villanueva understands that his unique status as a Bronze Star-decorated former Army captain now playing in the NFL makes his perspective and opinion on such subjects valued.
Handing out decals is one way to help bridge the gap between his teammates in the locker room and his veteran brethren who are living more conventional types of civilian life.
"It's something that hopefully means a lot to the players," Villanueva said of the division decals, "but it certainly is going to mean a lot to the veterans. And you'll see that on Sunday."
