Study Abroad
We are part of the SOCRATES/ERASMUS programme which encourages students to study for part of their course in a university of another EU country. We currently have links with the universities of Gothenburg (Sweden), Mainz (Germany), Bordeaux (France), Vienna (Austria) and the Free University of Berlin (Germany), as well as Bergen (Norway) and Koc (Turkey). Studying abroad through one of these exchanges, like the Year Abroad, will involve inserting an extra year into your programme of study between your second and final years. If, in your second year, your application for a place is successful, you will be transferred from the three-year version of your degree to a four-year version. Students will also have the opportunity to participate in excavations run by members of staff and colleagues of other universities at various places round the world.

Please note: Current modules are indicative. Information for future academic years may change, for example, due to developments in the relevant academic field, or in light of student feedback.
Course Learning and Teaching
Students on this programme learn through a combination of lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical classes, fieldwork, excavation, informal but scheduled one-on-one support, and self-directed learning, such as research, reading, and writing.
All of these are supported by a state of the art virtual learning environment, Durham University Online (DUO). Seminars, tutorials, and practical classes are much smaller groups than lectures, with tutorials often involving no more than eight students working with a professor or lecturer; seminars and practicals can be larger but are still small enough to allow one-on-one interaction with tutors.
Practicals also allow hands-on experience of the work professional archaeologists perform. The same is true of fieldwork, which at Durham is fully funded, and consists of engaging in archaeological work in the field with members of academic staff.
This emphasis on small-group and practical teaching reflects a conscious choice to enhance the quality of the learning experience rather than the quantity of formal sessions. In fact, the degree programme is designed to feature fewer formal sessions and more independent research as students move from their first to their final year.
Small-group teaching and one-on-one attention from the personal academic advisor (provided for all students when they enter the programme) are part of the learning experience throughout, but by the final year classroom time gives way, to some extent, to independent research, including a capstone dissertation - supported by one-on-one supervision - that makes up a third of final year credits. In this way the degree programme systematically transforms the student from a consumer of knowledge in the classroom to a generator of knowledge, ready for professional or postgraduate life. These formal teaching arrangements are supported by "drop-in" surgeries with teaching staff and induction sessions that begin in the week before the start of the programme and continue at key times throughout each year of the programme.
Students can also attend an extensive programme of research-focused seminars where staff and visiting scholars present their cutting edge research.

Department Information
One of the most exciting and varied subjects to study. One of the very best places at which to study it. Archaeology at Durham University covers everything from the palaeolithic to the post-medieval, from Iceland to India, from architecture to ancient DNA, helping us to address some of the most fundamental questions about who we are. A broad and dynamic subject, archaeology changes constantly with new discoveries and the development of innovative research.
These fascinating degrees allow you to combine practical hands-on work with traditional academic study. You will take part in fieldwork, on real excavations and finds, and learn about historic buildings, scientific methods, archaeological theories, computer techniques and how they all help us to understand the past.
Our staff are leaders in their fields, we have professional links with many notable historic organisations and our graduates are highly employable in the archaeology sector and elsewhere.
- 98% of our Archaeology students said that staff were good at explaining things in the National Student Survey 2016 (sector-wide average 93%).
- 2nd in The Times and Sunday Times University Guide 2016.
- 2nd in The Complete University Guide 2016.
- 6th in The Guardian University Guide 2016.
Durham has one of the largest Archaeology departments in Britain, with 28 full-time members of teaching staff. The Department is close to the University's first-class Bill Bryson Library, which has some of the best archaeological holdings in northern Britain. We are one of the most comprehensively equipped Archaeology departments in the UK, offering project rooms, teaching laboratories and internationally renowned scientific research laboratories in DNA, conservation, isotopes, environmental archaeology, luminescence dating, palaeopathology and soil and bone chemistry, which have recently undergone a £3.2 million refurbishment. Other facilities include a computer room, photographic studio, and common room. A commercial archaeological unit, Archaeological Services (Durham University), is also part of the Department and works with the Department to provide training in excavation and fieldwork skills.
You will have access to two University Museums; the Museum of Archaeology on Palace Green houses excellent Roman and medieval material from Durham in an international context and the Durham University Oriental Museum on Elvet Hill, is the only museum of its kind in the UK entirely devoted to the art and archaeology of cultures from Asia and Egypt.

What is so astonishing about liberals is that they aren't just wrong occasionally or even wrong more often than not. What is truly amazing is that they are always wrong about everything.
To grasp how remarkable that is, years ago, when quiz shows ruled the roost on TV, I had an uncle whose picture you would see if you looked up "ignorant" in the dictionary. One day, he announced that the shows were rigged. His conviction was based on his belief, as he put it, that "Nobody's that smart!" He refused to believe that anyone could know so much about boxing or science or Shakespeare.
Naturally when it was discovered that Charles Van Doren was fed some of the answers on 21, Uncle Morrie was vindicated. "Aha! See? I told you so!" The fact was the producers had helped Van Doren cheat. But that was because he had proven to be a very popular contestant who helped hype the show's ratings as he defeated one challenger after another week after week.
But none of that mattered to Uncle Morrie. So far as he was concerned, if Van Doren cheated, so had everyone else who had wowed the world with their encyclopedic knowledge of various subjects.
My point is that, dumb as he was, Uncle Morrie was right once in his life, and was, I'm convinced, the last leftist about whom that can be said.
Moving on, I always say that with America swirling down the drain of history, we conservatives have to grab our laughs where we can. I grabbed one recently when Barack Obama, addressing the annual Prayer Breakfast, actually said, with a straight face no less, it was the duty of those in power to be humble!
Comedian Chris Rock, not to be outdone by a mere politician, said, "Barack and Michelle Obama are kinda like the Mom and Dad of the country. And when your Dad says something, you listen, and when you don't it will usually bite you on the ass later on."
If Barack and Michelle are Rock's notion of the ideal parents, things must be even worse in the black community than a 71% rate of illegitimacy had led me to believe.
A friend recently sent me an old TV commercial in which Roy Rogers was peddling something called the Quick Shooter hat to a couple of kids. It was a cowboy hat that had a secret compartment in which a toy pistol was concealed. So long as the other kid lived by the code of the Old West and gave you the opportunity to take off your hat and press a little button, the gun would pop up and shoot him.
If it were still around today, New York's Governor Cuomo would have no choice but to outlaw cowboy hats, no matter how many people explained to him that hats don't kill people; people kill people.
In the next state over, New Jersey Democrats are introducing legislation that calls for employers to consider a convicted felon's job qualifications before being allowed to ask him about his criminal history. I suppose that's better than not being allowed to ask him any embarrassing questions at all, but if I were hiring, that would be my first question; not my last.
Why would I want to hire a criminal when there are all those honest people out of work? At least if the guy without a mile-long rap sheet rips you off, it will come as a big surprise. And that's very important because although the financial loss might be the same, the difference is that your wife and friends will be able to say, "That's a shame" instead of "Well, duh!"
I was recently reminded that in the old days, Washington, D.C., was built on a marsh. That means that those words uttered at the graveside of a person, "from dust to dust," could well be changed to "from swamp to swamp" at the graveside of Pelosi, Reid and Obama's America.
Speaking of our nation's capital, I am reminded that when it comes to hypocrisy, there's little difference between conservatives who complain about their kids being corrupted by left-wing teachers, but continue to send their offspring to public schools, and liberal presidents and congressmen who pay lip service to public education, but invariably send their own offspring to private schools.
On balance, I think the conservatives are a lot worse. Hypocrisy aside, at least the liberals prove they're sincerely concerned about who's teaching what to their kids.
Most conservatives, on the other hand, should be charged with child abuse.

I believe that there are three ways of facing situations of great suffering. You can blot everything out, you can become a victim or you can do what oysters do, which is embrace the wound and transform it into a pearl.
— Miguel Savage
Miguel Savage survived a war and he will never forget it. Read the story of how he faced up to his traumatic experiences and how he grew to embrace them. In 1982 Great Britain and Argentina went to war for two and a half months over the Falkland Islands – known as Las Malvinas in Spanish. Miguel was 19 years old and formed part of the South American country's army due to the fact he was doing his national service stint. Without even knowing how to fire a gun, he found himself far from home, in the middle of a war and living day and night in a hole in the ground. Miguel is a survivor and he wants to tell you his story in his own words.
What comes to mind when you think about the first day that you set foot on that farm on the Falkland Islands?
Hyperthermia and malnutrition. We had six soldiers that shot themselves in the foot in a desperate attempt to return home. Four more died after they stepped on our own landmines while escaping to steal food. Then they sent me, five other soldiers and a sergeant to a little house that was on the other side of the River Murrell. The mission was to check the place out. We knew that they were putting us on the British lines. They were already there, ready to attack us. We were like ducks in a pond full of hunters. I found out years later that they did not shoot at us as they did not want to give away the element of surprise.
Did you speak English?
Yes, I had spoken English since I was a little boy. That is why they sent me on the mission, they sent me as an interpreter. The mission was to speak to the islanders and persuade them to check out the house. If they resisted, we would fight. We surrounded the house and I was thinking about getting myself some food and a coat, not about the danger. I was the first to go in. I went in shouting for them to come out. When I saw that there was nobody there, I relaxed and I began to take account of my surroundings. I started to sense smells that seemed familiar. The view out the window was amazing. The river flowing into the town was oblivious to the fact that a war was going on. Indeed, it was the last place I could have imagined being in the middle of a war.
At the same time, I was desperate to take off my wet clothes. I noticed a lovely-looking jumper on a dresser. I pulled it close and sensed the smells of cleanliness, perfume and of home. I had just been freezing in a smelly hole in the ground and it raised my dignity. I took off my clothes and put the pullover on and I felt stronger. I remember eating two pieces of bread with butter. I fed myself desperately, I ate like a dog. I started to feel something, like a presence. It was like there was someone inside the house saying to me: "Not long left, Miguel. You are going to return, you are going to live". This was either the 5 or 6 of June and the surrender came on the 14. I had the idea one day of returning (to the farm) to see what it was. I was already planning on going back.
Many people flee from unpleasant experiences but you choose to remember them, you keep it with you. What can be learned from that?
I believe that there are three ways of facing situations of great suffering. You can blot everything out, you can become a victim or you can do what oysters do, which is embrace the wound and transform it into a pearl.
You opt for the third option?
No, I tried to keep it bottled up for 20 years.
What was the trigger that brought it to the surface after 20 years?
The social and economic crisis in Argentina in 2001. I had a business that I had built up through a lot of effort. I was very stressed as I was losing everything because of economic problems. At that point, I had my first nightmare about the war.
You had never dreamt about the Falklands before that?
Not until then.
It is an experience that you cannot erase from your mind?
No, above all it is the posttraumatic stress. It is instinctive to try and blot it out, but eventually you have to face it.
What did you dream about?
That I was in the hole with the dead and that the bombs were falling. Inside the dream a mobile phone was ringing. It was the bank manager saying to me: "I am closing your account because you have too many bounced cheques." I woke up screaming and that day I want to therapy. After drama classes, running, healing cures, I came to rely on generous people. In the end, I realised that I had a hold of the reins. I had control, just like when we were in the hole and took decisions not to die.
You thought that you had control until 2001?
Yes and I had actually returned to the islands in 2000 and I was saying to myself: "This does not affect me, I'm facing everything."
How did it go when you met with Sharon Mulkenbuhr, the daughter of the couple that had lived on the Murrell farm that you went into on the Falklands?
She lived in the town on my first trip back in 2000. It was an impressive meeting because firstly she expressed all of her anguish. She was still angry about everything and she wanted me to know it. I listened to her in silence and afterwards I told her how I felt. She understood that I had good intentions and we ended up hugging and drinking tea. We swapped addresses. I told her that I still had the jumper but that I had not brought it with me.
Is it correct that you had the jumper framed?
A friend had done it, just like you do when you frame a football shirt.
But for you it was not a trophy?
No, not for me. It was a beautiful reminder of a crucial moment in my life where I felt protected. During my second visit, in 2006, I returned the jumper with a thank you note. I gave to Sharon's sister, Lisa.
When you look back, do you tell the story differently as time goes on?
The story is basically the same but I keep finding more messages of personal growth. The main thing is what happened to me when I got back. I entered into a state of being that I call the "euphoria of the survivor". During the first few days, my body was undernourished. I had lost 20 kilograms and I was in this state of euphoria, which was the joy of just being alive. I would set the alarm clock to wake me early, even though I had nothing else to do other than live. Everything moved me. The simple things like music, family visits, the smell of freshly cut grass and even the colours of the television.
What happened when the feeling of euphoria started to fade?
When I returned they held a party for me at home. They were asking me things like if I had killed anyone. I wanted to tell them that I had learned how to listen, that I had learned the importance of human contact and the value of simple things. And they would say to me "well, now you have to look to the future." They wanted to protect me but I wanted to tell them how I felt. People were just not prepared to listen. Have you seen the film Cast Away with Tom Hanks? When he returns from the island they throw him a party. Well, I felt exactly the same way that Tom Hanks does in the film. I felt like I was on another frequency. I went into the kitchen and turned on the hob. It was dark. I was totally lucid and I felt incredibly strong. And I said to myself: "You have to be strong because they cannot understand the depth of what you have been through".
Have you had contact with any British soldiers over the years?
Yes, with Terry Peck. He is the father of James Peck, one of the few Falkland Islanders to take out Argentine citizenship. He fought against us and I met him during my first trip back. It was remarkable. We went up to the battlefields together and we had something in common that only veterans can understand. Many people ask me how I can embrace the enemy and I say that he was a human being who was there with me in the hell. It is irrelevant of what country we were from. We made a toast for dead comrades. It was respectful, not glorified or jingoistic. We met in an everyday place where our countries had faced off in a stupid war.
Did he agree that it was a pointless war?
Did you talk about the fact that they were professionals and that on the Argentinean side there were many youngsters who did not even know how to fire a gun?
Yes, he could not believe the enormous difference between the two sides. They were trained soldiers, with a minimum of five years of preparation. We were civilians who had just left secondary school. We did not have any training or food.
You are now 50 years old. Is there anything in life that you still do not understand?
Jingoism. I still do not understand the warmongers who sit on the sofa and give their opinions about wars when they do not have the slightest idea about what they are about. I do not understand historians that say the Argentinean conscripts were not victims. We were but we decided not to portray ourselves as victims. There were not many things that we could have done but we kept ourselves united and we worked intensely to come out alive from the war. Simple things like cuddling up to avoid freezing to death. We knew that we could not depend on our superiors. We had three enemies - the cold, the British and our leaders.
What things do you understand now that you are 50 years old?
I learned from the period of euphoria that the most important things in life are not possessions. When I returned I saw a society that was chasing material things without time to listen to others. It was as if they had thrown a bucket of cold water over me and I had woken up.
What does the jumper mean to you?
It felt like being back home. I felt like my mother had put a coat on me.

FIFA Soccer 2009 is a football (soccer) game in the long-running FIFA football game series. This PSP edition has a number of differences compared to the high-end console and PC versions.As with previous FIFA games, you can take control of a team and guide it through its paces on a game by game, season by season basis. As well as the usual updated graphics and rosters, the portable version for the first time features the "Be a Pro" mode that the console versions have had for the 2 previous iterations. Be a Pro mode allows you to take control of a single player over the course of a season, and play match by match. At the end of each game, your performance will be critiqued. Through good performances you will become the captain of your team and possibly called up for your country. Do badly, and you will get less games and eventually get the sack.
Multiplayer games against friends are supported via infrastructure or ad hoc mode, in either a standard team game, or in the new Be a Pro Mode.

Which speaker with a 1/4W tube amp?
I picked up a Blackheart Killer Ant a few days back and plugged it into my 4x12 celestion cab. This thing kicks man!! Although it defeats my purpose, plugging it into a half stack. It is a .25W all tube amplifier that has that natural overdrive at a bedroom volume. The cab that "goes" with it is a Blackheart BH110, and has an Eminence 1016B speaker in it. I can't find any info on this speaker. Does anyone have any ideas on which 12" speaker would give me the best open cab classic overdriven rock tone? I have a 1x12" open back cab I want to use. Keep in mind that the wattage must be reletivaly low, probably around 35W or less. Any ideas??

The moving mass could make a big difference. If this is too heavy maybe your amp will sound dull. It's a bit like the lag of the oldfashioned turbo-charged engines..... I would try the Eminence GB128 which is also very efficient at 101+ dB/1W. The tone you get also depends very much on the Zout of your amp. If this is too low you could have a darker sound. A 10" cone has a bit more trebles by default, usually. In my experience the Eminence Legend 1058 (or 10516 if you want 16 ohms) is a better choice for most low power single ended amps. 45 Last edited by 45; 25th October 2010 at 09:40 AM. |

12" AlNiCo or ceramic drivers could also be good solutions.

Perhaps one of the Celestion Vintage 30 series here: Celestion at zZounds Note that they are rather expensive, (and possibly a non-starter for this reason) but I have had friends in the past that swore by the blue or the classic with very low powered amps (1W or less) for a quiet practice amp.

Thanks! Those celestions are rather expensive. I actually just ordered a 10516 Eminence Legend (that 45 suggested). They are only $50 and the description seems to match exactly what I am looking for. I'll let you guys know how it turns out when I get it installed. Thanks again.

Hopefully the Eminence will fit the bill nicely.

Update: I installed the speaker (Eminence Legend 10516) in an open back cabinet. This speaker creates the EXACT sound that I was looking for. It has a great bluesy/classic rock sound. With the volume/gain turned all the way up it sounds like Jimi Hendrix purple haze, mid-way up it sounds like Lynard Skynard gimme three steps. Great advice 45, thanks a lot. For $50.00 this speaker is pure genius!!

Focal length range (f-f)
Measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light. For an optical system in air, it is the distance over which initially collimated rays are brought to a focus. A system with a shorter focal length has greater optical power than one with a long focal length; that is, it bends the rays more strongly, bringing them to a focus in a shorter distance.For an optical system in air, the effective focal length (f and f′) gives the distance from the front and rear principal planes (H and H′) to the corresponding focal points (F and F′).
5.1 - 51 mm

Can't help but come away feeling really disappointed.: Disney Magic Cruise Review by serial45
Overall Member Rating
Can't help but come away feeling really disappointed.
Destination: Mediterranean
Embarkation: Barcelona
This brings me to my first and biggest criticism of the Disney Cruise line excursions.
Firstly we where almost certain we cancelled one of our excurions. It was a visit to Monaco with the little train. This cost us $91 per person. When we priced this excursion up seperately it come to around $20 each. So that's disney grinding money and making 300-400% out of each guest.
The person behind the excursion desk said that he had no record of this being cancelled before boarding and the cancellation timeframe has now expired. We accepted this and went on the heavily overpriced tour. Only to be stuck in traffic for 2 hours getting to Monaco - with no extension on our cruise time, even though the cruise excursion guides had no other excursions planned. I was furious. I More complained to the desk and they said they will capture our feedback. We heard nothing back.
The next problem was another pricey excursion we booked on Corfu. This supposedly included a tour to a beach, village, villa with some wine tasting.
The beach was fine. The Villa was a bar/tavern the wine tasting experience included wine served out of a PLASTIC bottle. That literally tasted like vinegar. Absolute rip off. Again we and two other guests on the excursion felt the same way and we all complained. Only to hear NOTHING back. The customer service was absolutely ROCK BOTTOM. I've cruised with Celebrity and princess before and had far better customer service when problems arose.
We spent over £7300 on the room for a 12 night cruise. The food was OK but nothing great -far better on Celebrity imho. For the sake of disney taking our critiscism on board giving us a small discount of $20-60 on the excursions it has left us furious.
We spoke to many other guests and they also felt robbed by the excursions.
Let me also say this. You go on disney boat. You expect it to be 100% geared towards kids? Is it! NO it is far from geared for kids.
We had a 2.5 year old son with us. There was only a nursery (Charged at $8 per hour) that he could go into. He wasn't allowed into Palo (the adult only cover restaurant). He didn't like nursery so we where so restricted in the things that we could do.
They had more ADULT only sections of the ship than NON adult only. They had adult only entertainment that we missed out on night after night. It just left us baffled and amazed. We really thought this would be so geared towards kids, But quite the opposite.
Some positives include - the staff, they where fantastic. The pirate party with fireworks was amazing.
I will never EVER be cruising whit Disney again. Next time it will be Royal Caribbean or NCL as they are very close to Disney for child ammenities.
Think VERY carefully before you blow so much money on a Disney cruise guys. You can quite literally get a deluxe suite with Royal Caribbean for the same money!
We went on the celebrity equinox a few years back and actually got PENTHOUSE suites for a little extra money than we paid on Disney! Sadly celebrity has nothing for children Less

Investors were disappointed by the fall in the net asset value, resulting in a 12p drop in MEPC's share prices to 440.5p.
James Tuckey, chief executive, said: "We feel very confident about the whole of the profit statement. The only slight disappointment is on the net asset value side." Earnings per share rose 9 per cent to 22.9p and the total dividend was held at 20p.
Mr Tuckey said the drop in the net asset value reflected a marginal fall in values both in the UK and elsewhere. However, he added: "We feel that the performance of our UK portfolio, which accounts for 70 per cent of the group, is indeed where we would have expected it to be."
He said the valuation date for the portfolio was 31 August and there had been more activity and evidence of an improved market since then. "If we redid the valuation for 1 December, we would probably get a different answer."
The other factor which had brought the net asset value down was the pounds 31m write-down on the valuation of Northridge Mall in Los Angeles. The write- down is equivalent to 7.5p per share.
"We are convinced this is a temporary write-down because the centre is still getting back on its feet after the earthquake some three years ago.
"We are quite confident we will get that value back in the next two to three years as the centre re-establishes itself," Mr Tuckey said.
He defended MEPC's decision to give a target net asset value of 690p per share for 2001. "We're sticking our necks out. The portfolio is very, very different from what it was three years ago and what we're trying to do is give shareholders some feel of where we think the performance is going to be in five years' time," he said.
Mr Tuckey said the full impact of the change of strategy in MEPC's portfolio would take time but there would be progress towards the firm's targets each year.
He said there was a much firmer tone to the markets, particularly in Britain over the past few months. Apart from Northridge, the rest of the US portfolio had performed "extremely well".
MEPC plans to keep the lion's share of its portfolio in Britain, with the remainder in the US and Australia. It has wound down its European portfolio and has no plans to go back into continental Europe in the immediate future.
Mr Tuckey said the group was keen to make acquisitions with the proceeds of its European disposals, but there was a shortage of good stock available, particularly in Britain.
While MEPC has resolved to increase the dividend paid to shareholders, Mr Tuckey could not predict when it would be raised, although he pointed out that dividend cover had improved to 1.15 times from 1.05 a year before.

"Brother, I'll never forget how I was the first person to tell Bret Hart that Owen Hart had died, brother. As I reached from the rafters of the arena, holding Owen's 456 pound frame with one finger, Owen looked at me, brother, and said 'You're the best, Hollywood.' Then he fell from the ceiling, straight into the volcano. I tried to swim after him through the molten lava, brother, but it was too late. Owen was my greatest opponent, brother, and though he may have died, Hulkamania will live forever, dude!"
ReplyDelete - Christopher HirschMay 23, 2013 at 1:05 PM
The tone of this reads poorly to me. Such as "Overall, in spite of what occurred during the first hour of the show I felt this show delivered strongly from an entertainment perspective." Seriously, who gives a shit? A man died.
"However, it cannot be ignored that a long-time player on the WWF roster lost his life during this show." Well, duh.
The show should have been stopped. - Christopher HirschMay 23, 2013 at 1:32 PM
Owen was my favorite wrestler growing up as a kid. I will never forget watching this show and the sadness I felt over his death.

Agreed. But remember, Bret has had a lot of turmoil to overcome in his life and strokes do affect emotional responses.

I have that DVD of this show, but have never watched it. I don't know if I ever will and I'm not sure I can ever review it because it's not like the wrestlers wanted to give a huge effort after their colleague died in the same ring they were competing in.
ReplyDelete - White ThunderMay 23, 2013 at 7:48 PM
I think this show is the very definition of a "historical curiosity". This was also the absolute most popular wrestling ever was, right around this time period.

If it was true, which it isn't, I could hardly blame him. HHH let Benoit conclusively win their feud, he never got the win back, and he tapped out in the WM Main. Then Benoit destroys not only his life, but his families lives.
ReplyDelete - jabronivilleMay 24, 2013 at 4:44 AM
In retrospect, they probably morally SHOULD have cancelled the show, but as others have said, there was really no precedent for something like this, and it would have cost MILLIONS. So I can totally see (justify, even) why the WWF would not have just axed the show then and there.
Of course, having all these matches was rather pointless in the long run, because of course they'd never air them. So the show is basically "the show that never happened", despite including a World Title change (which I remember being pretty awful). The fact that anyone watching at home was just emotionally stunned makes it even worse. Few things are as uncomfortable as watching Jarrett try to keep a hold of himself here and the next Monday. - DarrenMay 24, 2013 at 6:59 AM
Good point......I think the nature of the incident itself, however, would make it tough.

Terry Cavanagh, the cunning soul behind VVVVVV, captures the art of simplicity with Super Hexagon, a playable equalizer wrapped in a techno bow both aurally delighting and visually mesmerizing. But unlike the maddening challenge of Cavanagh's spike-based platformer, Super Hexagon's rhythmic tempos and touchscreen controls entice more than they irritate.
Super Hexagon models the chronic joy of losing your mind in a video game trance. Players tap left and right on their iDevices to rotate a triangle about its immovable axis, eluding the reverberating assaults of hexagons and other multi-sided shapes careening towards the screen's center. Perhaps a path through the barrage of polygons opens immediately. Other times, the shapes split at the last second, and only your reflexes will avoid a disheartening game over. That disappointment then retires instantly, as a quick tap throws you back into the hypnotic gauntlet.
The patterns are rarely the same, negating any form of pattern memorization. Soon, the camera itself starts rotating, often counter-clockwise to the spinning geometry. Practicing on the tougher levels makes for a good warm-up even if you fail in the first five seconds. Exercise your eyesight and you may well see a substantial two-second improvement in your previous bests.
If you needed video proof of Terry Cavanagh's madness, well...
There's no easy mode, however (just Hard, Harder, and Hardest), so expect frequent restarts. You'll be lucky to last more than three seconds on your initial attempts, and if that wasn't enough, every ten seconds adds another set of shapes (point to line to triangle to square and so on) to test you. Should the timer eclipse sixty seconds, the game enters a bonus round that defies mental reasoning. You'll also unlock that difficulty's Hyper mode as a consolation.
But those achievements wait hundreds, possibly thousands, of retries down the road. On Hard, Chipzel's electronic soundtrack begins slow, the hexagons rarely pulsing in time to the beat. Then, as the seconds pass, the geometry pulsates faster, the colors shifting into a psychedelic reverie. The more taxing difficulties instantly break off the training wheels too, forsaking all pleasantries.
Players that prefer a moderately paced experience should be wary of Terry Cavanagh's magnum opus. Super Hexagon demands peak reflexes that correspond with other rhythm titles and endless runners, but the kaleidoscopic visuals and terrific chiptunes should soothe the easily agitated. What's more, the app's universal. Now get downloading.

Xtrac Sales Top One Billion Dollars!
27 May 2013
On the eve of Xtrac entering its 30th year of business, we are proud to celebrate the achievement of another significant landmark.
In April, Xtrac achieved total sales over the company's 30 year history of $1 billion. Of these over $600 million were directly exported to customers all around the world, primarily to China, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the United States, where Xtrac has facilities in North Carolina and Indianapolis, which service North America and South America.
With direct exports consistently achieving between 60-70 per cent of the company's annual sales and indirect exports to oversees customers who have a UK base, Xtrac is one of the UK's leading motorsport suppliers sitting in the heart of Motorsport Valley with a group of companies who collectively make the UK the centre of worldwide motorsport.
Xtrac has won many awards in recognition of its export successes including the prestigious Queen's Award for Exports and the Motorsport Industry Association Award for Export Achievement.
Peter Digby, managing director of Xtrac and a recent winner of the Institute of Directors Global Director Award for export achievements is extremely proud of the company's results. "Engineering and manufacturing in the UK has had its difficulties in recent years, so it makes Xtrac's performance all the more significant. Each year as well as investing heavily in research and development, we take on apprentices and graduates who contribute to our success keeping Xtrac and the UK at the forefront of the worldwide motorsport industry, and helping our growing business in the Automotive and Engineering sector outside of motorsport. With the largest group of shareholders being the whole workforce we can all share in the success and know that we are doing our bit for the UK balance of payments."
Xtrac shortly starts the countdown to the 30th Anniversary since its formation, a year that will recognise some of the important milestones from Xtrac's history.

Crippled Japanese nuclear plant suffers blackout
Source: AP
Published: 19 minutes ago TOKYO (AP) - A power failure at Japan's tsunami-damaged nuclear plant on Monday night has left three fuel storage pools without fresh cooling water for hours, the plant's operator said. Tokyo Electric Power Co. said the power failure at the Fukushima Dai-ichi plant was brief at its command center but continued for hours at three of the seven fuel storage pools and at several other facilities, including one that treats water contaminated with radioactivity. TEPCO said the reactors were unaffected and no other abnormalities were found. TEPCO spokesman Takeo Iwamoto said the utility plans to restore power to the pool cooling systems as soon as it can determine the cause of the failure.

4. No big deal
They didn't pay the power bill on time. It happens. *Snork.*
The best info is that they can go several days before anything gets too hot. Here's Tepco and the governments biggest worry:: Some 1,650 plaintiffs filed the case with the Fukushima District Court, demanding 50,000 yen a month from the government and Tokyo Electric Power Co (TEPCO) until the area is restored, their lawyers said in a statement. Through this case, we will clarify the responsibility of TEPCO, which caused the accident, and the government which neglected to take sufficient safety measures and promoted nuclear power with utilities as a national policy, the statement said. This case is not only aimed at saving victims, but also at pushing the government to thoroughly change its pro-nuclear policy and therefore prevent people becoming victims in the future, it said. http://www.japantoday.com/category/national/view/800-fukushima-survivors-sue-government-tepco?utm_campaign=jt_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_source=jt_newsletter_2013-03-12_AM |

Last edited Tue Mar 19, 2013, 04:20 AM - Edit history (1) that route the power coming from 3 outside power lines.
Two of the switchboards were fixed this afternoon (Japan time). The other one (No. 1 unit) was replaced, and water circulation was restarted at 2:20 pm Japan time (2 hours ago). The water circulation system for the spent fuel pool was restarted at 1:20 (3 hours ago) for the No. 4 unit, and the cooling system is expected to go back on at 8 pm Japan time (less than 4 hours from now). The water circulation system for the No. 3 unit is also expected to be restarted in about 4 hours, and the cooling system for the "shared pool" is expected to be back on by 8 am tomorrow (March 20, Japan time). |

9. Well, TEPCO may have a credibility problem,
but given all the legal action they're facing, and the shake-up in the upper echelons, and the intense public scrutiny they have come under, they just might be trying to be more forthright. But, who knows?

10. The TV news just said that the "shared pool" cooling system
was restarted at a little after midnight (12 hours ago), but they haven't figured out exactly why the shutdown occurred.

11. I am hoping you would like to share more of what you are hearing & seeing
about Fukishima, and the govt's and Tepco response.
And the mood of the people. We simply do not get that kind of info over here. |

14. Hello Art
You are right, with all that has been going on at Fukushima and the fact that it hasn't blown up again, Tepco must be doing something right.
Ever hear of the Carrington effect and CME? Coronal Mass Ejection. Seems about the time that the power went down, earth was getting hit with a CME. Here is a site that I have been following and it has a mention of the CME and a link to what they call the Kp which is a measure of what CME's bring to earth. http://spaceweather.com/ Hope all stays on a steadily improving path for you and the Japanese. |

17. The current theory is that a mouse or rat caused a short circuit
They found traces of something having been burned in one of the electric switchboards (No. 1 unit, that sent power to other units), and right below that they found the remains of what appears to have been a small animal, like a mouse or a rat.

16. You might be interested in these radiation maps put out by the Japanese government
Please note that you would have to agree to the terms of use, but basically they're the usual pledge not to use copyrighted material for unintended purposes. Unfortunately, the maps haven't been updated since late December.
