Mixed results prolong Republican race
By Stephen Collinson ,AFP Thursday, March 8, 2012, 12:01 am TWN
WASHINGTON -- Super Tuesday hardly lived up to its billing, with its failure to crown a U.S. Republican presidential nominee.
Instead, the 10-state nationwide nominating spectacular left Mitt Romney in much the same position as before — as a prohibitive favorite condemned to an attritional march to claim his prize, a clash with U.S. President Barack Obama.
Romney chalked up six wins, a majority of the day's contests, but could not kill off his rivals Rick Santorum and Newt Gingrich, and he again displayed the liabilities that have haunted his presidential campaign.
Once again, the leading Republican failed to fully win over the conservative activist base.
Once again, Romney shelled out millions of dollars in advertising but could not quite close the deal.
And exit poll numbers in crucial swing state Ohio showed the multimillionaire venture capitalist still struggling to connect with middle and working class voters.
Still, Super Tuesday left little doubt in analysts' minds that Romney will be the Republican standing in the way of Obama's second White House term.
"I think the long slog continues for Mitt Romney towards the nomination," said Dante Scala, a professor of politics at the University of New Hampshire.
He might be battered, but Romney can at least boast that he is a survivor. And he can now claim to have won primaries in both Florida and Ohio, two swing states Republicans must win to claim the White House.
"I believe that Romney is the prohibitive favorite," said Bruce Buchanan, a professor of government at the University of Texas at Austin.
"Even though the race may continue for months, I expect you will hear calls from some Republicans on other candidates to consider whether they want to drive this into the dust."
Final figures are still unclear, but Romney was certain on Tuesday to stretch his lead in the only numbers that matter, the count of delegates to the Republican National Convention in August.
The Massachusetts governor was likely to end the night with well over 300 delegates, well ahead of those of his nearest challenger, Rick Santorum, and inching toward the 1,144 needed to win the nomination.
He won Ohio, Idaho, Massachusetts, Vermont, Virginia, and Alaska, while Santorum picked up Tennessee, Oklahoma and North Dakota. Gingrich snapped up his home state of Georgia.
But Romney's failure to win Tennessee was a disappointment, as victory would have allowed him to claim that, despite his moderate past, he could attract conservative activists in a traditional "red" Republican state.

According to recent stats 35 per cent of users have never backed up their computer and of those that do the majority backup less than once per year. The most elegant solution is network attached storage, but cost and complexity mean it has yet to scale down to mainstream consumers. This could be about to change…
The Synology DiskStation DS211j is the baby brother to the excellent Synology DiskStation DS411j and it brings with it two significant changes: a reduced form factor supporting two hard drives not four and a 40 per cent price drop. The knock on effect is the DS211j, at just 161x88x218mm and 1Kg (excl. drives), is more convenient to store and its RRP will turn heads.
One look at its spec sheet should firm up that interest. The DS211j packs the same horsepower (1.2GHz Marvell Kirwood CPU, 128MB DDR2 RAM) as the larger DS411j along with support for JBOD, RAID 0 and RAID 1 arrays plus iSCSI support. It also matches up with one front and two rear USB ports which can be used to add further storage, backup specific content to thumb drives or share a printer across a network. These ports support some WiFi dongles so you can ditch the cables.
For those who do wish to cable up the DS211j supports the now mandatory Gigabit Ethernet and should appeal to multimedia fans being DLNA and UPnP compliant. iTunes Server is built in too along with 'Audio Station' for streaming Internet radio stations or iPod playback (with optional USB speakers) and 'Download Station' functions as a BitTorrent, FTP, HTTP, eMule and NZB (Usenet) download client without needing a PC.
'DiskStation Manager' meanwhile deals with those all important backups allowing scheduled daily, weekly or monthly PC backups and it is compatible with Apple Time Machine. The provided Synology Data Replicator 3 software can be set to backup specific desktop data from all computers on the network including Outlook emails. Finally iOS and Android device owners enjoy a plethora of apps including 'DS audio', 'DS file', 'DS photo' and 'DS finder' for accessing your NAS content. 'DS cam' even allows for remote monitoring of a compatible IP camera connected to the network. A full list of all natively compatible third party peripherals can be found here.
By any account this all combines to create a feature set which would embarrass far more expensive NAS devices and Synology has clearly remembered the DS211j will appeal to advanced users on a budget, not just mainstream consumers. Happily those without a great deal of technical knowledge won't be intimidated either…
I'm very new to the world of NAS and I'm undecided between this and the QNAP TS-212.
Can I:
Just map folders on the NAS as network drives on my PC?
Access files from work - FTP?
Stream lossless music to a Logitech Squeezebox Duet?
I have the DS410, which is slightly different hardware but with mostly the same functionality.
Yes you can map folders as network drives; works very well.
You can also map them using iSCSI if the mood takes you; Windows then sees it as an internal drive (fewer restrictions on how you can use it within Windows but you can't then share it between PCs).
Yes it can do FTP, and also provides a handy web interface for an even easier way to download files.
I've tried streaming to my Squeezebox Boom by installing Squeezebox Server on the 410. It's very easy to install but there are big issues. Firstly Synology says it's recommended to use one of their products with at least 256MB RAM (the 211j has half that). Secondly it's very slow and buggy as hell, which I think is Logitech's fault rather than Synology's. I find it fairly unusable and have gone back to connecting to the Logitech server.
I wish Squeezeboxes could access DLNA servers; the DiskStations work very well for that (I access media files from my PS3).
This is my first home NAS - the software upgrade finally makes it workable for the casual user.
This is another opportunity to comment on the site though chaps. The content on Trusted Reviews, certainly relative to elsewhere for the UK, is great. However the new website is terrible. Not just buggy or poorly laid out - terrible.
I used to come to TR first for my tech news and reviews. Now I will only come here if I haven't found what I want elsewhere, and I'm looking for a last attempt at some coverage.
The editorial is good, the reviews good (albeit basic) and the journalism good, if a little hasty sometimes. However the presentation of the new site is just so poor that your writers must feel like their efforts are literally being passed to the chip shop that's frying next door right now.
Please sort it out - there are lots here that want it to continue to be a success (and therefore bother to feed back).
Straightforward yes to the first two.
The Squeezebox question is interesting. I have a Netgear ReadyNAS Duo with a low spec processor like this box and found that Squeezebox Server was too slow on it. I currently run it on a netbook with an Atom CPU. If you must run it off the NAS then I would look at one of the Atom powered ones with 1GB RAM - file transfer speeds are significantly faster off these too.
What Greg said!! I nearly lose the will to live just trying to login in order to make a comment (and to have to login every time you visit the site - WHY?!? ARRGGHHH!!!)
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to see that the new site has totally destroyed the community and enjoyable banter that used to be present in the comments. But, it was all said during the beta phase of the site - and it has proven to be the case, so I am sure this will fall on deaf ears too!
Can I use this to store video content on, then watch it on my TV?
Yes it would be good if they discovered cookies.
Also it takes about a day for my comments to be approved, and some never are. That's no way to promote lively discussion, and there seem to be far fewer comments than on the old site.
Even if you're trying to avoid spam, by now my comments should be auto-approved. I was wondering yesterday why I bothered writing my detailed reply when it takes so long to appear, if it ever does.
Depends on your TV, a lot of modern TV's now have the ability to stream over the network. If your TV can't then you might even have a Games console you could use to do the streaming. There are even cheap devices you can connect that will do the job, there are numerous ways you can Stream Video content to your TV, and it really depends on what sort of flexibility you want. Eg, I use XBMC running on an Acer Aspire Revo, that gives me lots of flexibility.
btw. aka website, I'm not too bothered about the new look and feel, but having to log in every time really does need sorting out.
@all Regarding the comments about the commenting system on the website, we are aware of a couple of issues with this and are attempting to rectify them as soon as possible. We realise that logging in every time you want to make a comment is not condusive to lively debate but we have increased the length of time you should be logged in to your account and are working to further improve this.
I have another model of the Synology range, which uses the same software. I can recommend them, not the cheapest NAS you will ever get, but very full featured. Add to that the fact that its a Linux server underneath, that they have a good community around them and you have a very flexible device.
Sadly, I second the comments about the new website design.
I have the previous version - the DS210j, and felt I ought to comment on the Logitech Squeezebox Server question. I have been running SBS v7.5.1 without a hitch on my NAS for over a year. It is slightly slow - but that is only really an issue when using the web interface, rather than the Squeezeboxes themselves or the iPhone interface.
I did have some issues getting it running intially, and ended up using an approach called SSODS rather than the provided package. The current version supported is 7.6.1, which probably has addressed the issue and is much faster, but I am reluctant to take the plunge because I am happy with the way things are running!
There are many other approaches to running SBS which are faster than using a NAS, but none as far as I can tell which offer the combination of low power usage and additional NAS functionality ...
Thanks Bugblatter, I didn't realise Squeezeboxes weren't DLNA compatible. When you say you went back to connecting to the Logitech server what do you mean? Where were your files accessed from? The NAS still?
You'll probably never see this reply as TR don't email alert us when new comments are made...
An even bigger problem is that the site doesn't email us to let us know there have been replies to our comments or other responses (this should be opt-in). That's killing engagement. I won't remember all the posts I've made and in which articles and once the article disappears of the main page it's long forgotten.
Luckily I left the tab open...although you may never see my reply... ;op
By going back to the Logitech server I mean that I'm not able to access my local files any longer. I can access radio stations, Napster etc. but about the only way I can play my own music is using this: www.mp3tunes.com
An alternative is building a fully-fledged file server, which can be Windows or Linux based. Here's a very useful article about it, including recommended components: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4666/file-server-builders-guide/1
You could put the normal full version of Squeezebox Server on the file server. I used to run the Windows version and didn't have the problems I've had running it on the DiskStation.
Yes I had a look at using SSODS but didn't go ahead because I just didn't have the time or the patience to find out how to do it. It looked pretty complicated to me, although you'll know more about that than I do.
Installing the Squeezebox Server package on the Disk Station is extremely simple; if only it worked properly!
Quick update. I've installed the latest DiskStation sotware and the latest Squeezebox package (not using SSODS) which is based on 7.6.1.
So far I've not hit any issues and it seems fast too.
Is this still a good NAS?

Quote from Larry Tillemans:
"I'm not a historian or a student of the Holocaust. I'm an old soldier who saw the shocking truth of the Holocaust by attending some of the war crimes trials at Nuremberg and Dachau."
Former WWII soldier is on a mission to share his experiences
Larry Tillemans, a central Minnesota native was a soldier in the Second World War. He has made a mission in his life to share his experiences with students.
A resident of St. Joseph Minnesota, Mr. Tillemans is active in his community and neighboring areas. He shares his passion for Holocaust remembrance through lectures, speeches, and conversation. Mr. Tillemans reaches out to address audiences' at schools, prisons, jails, treatment centers and churches.
"I am alarmed and disturbed about the rising numbers of people who doubt the Holocaust happened and the war crime trials were unfair. We cannot let this go on without a challenge and show all the proof", states Tillemans.
Larry Tillemans was a typist with the Third Army in Munich, Germany (1945-1946). He could type 40 words per minute and was assigned by the Army to type transcripts at the Nuremberg War Crime Trials and the Dachau Tribunal. Throughout the 218 days Mr. Tillemans spent in Germany, he witnessed over 350 Nazi's and Nazi perpetrators victims of the Holocaust give their testimony. Mr. Tillemans personally typed over 200,000 affidavits.
His mission of communicating his experience is propelled with a sense of urgency. "There were 1,000 army personnel assigned to duty for the Nuremberg Trials and that was over 60 years ago. I only know of one soldier that is still alive. Soon there will be no one left (alive) to give first-hand account and tell the story". - Larry Tillemans

" Author: Mike Ripley / Genre: Fiction "
If I ever saw a real angel the chances are that I would be dead or perhaps having a near death experience. I like to imagine them as being beautiful men and women adorned with vast white wings and backlit with celestial white light. Perhaps a small cherub will float by on a cloud strumming a tune on their suspiciously small lyre. Imagine then your surprise is you met a bloke calling himself Angel that was driving a black cab. An aging, balding, cockney chancer who considers themselves a bit of an expert in the underworld of crime and vice. With a knowledge of crime and a knowledge of The Knowledge Angel can freelance himself out as a off the books private eye. Welcome to the world of hairy angels.
The brewers of Kent are not happy with the governments stance on booze runners. An epidemic has broken out were all the off licences and pubs in the county are selling illegal French beer rather than home grown hops. One local brewery decides to hire Angel, who is currently working for his wife ferrying models around, to try and discover who are the main culprits of this smuggling ring. Angel gets more than he bargains for when he ends up as temporary landlord of the last honest pub in Kent. What seems a pretty easy case soon gets darker when hard nosed criminals get involved. Can Angel bring down the booze runner? More importantly, can he ever work out how to change a barrel?
Bootlegged Angel is a very leisurely novel and it certainly takes its time getting to the action. In fact the first half of the book feels more like a nice country tale than crime fiction. However, this does not actually pose that much of an issue as the character and setting easily let you enjoy them; even if they are quite mundane. Ripley is able to create a good narrative that draws the reader in; every now and again it is nice to read a slower book. The pace reflects the laid back attitude of Angel as he goes about his business. I like the character a lot as he has a roguish charm and often quite funny.
The supporting roles are also good in this book as, although they are not very developed, they are well realised. Angels wife appears briefly in the title and I assume that in earlier books she was far more central. The characters that come out best in this book are the ones that Angel meets on his case including, saddo students, crazy old barmaids and muttering old majors. By filling the story with plenty of funny and easily recognisable characters Ripley is able to make even the driest observations fun to read.
The lack of pace is not an issue throughout as Bootlegged Angel has a very exciting and satisfying finale. I read lots of crime and thriller fiction and one of the most common problems with a book is that it ends poorly. Ripley manages to create energy in the book that rises to a satisfying peak at the end. I like the characters in my books to get what they deserve and this happens in this case.
One area that could prove an issue for some is the fact that the book feels too preachy in parts. I imagine that the author lives in Kent somewhere and perhaps has a vested interest in the pub or off licenses of the area. Most people that bring alcohol over from the continent are average people, fed up of paying high taxes. However, the group that appear in this book are big and nasty. They are able to shift so much booze because customs is far more interested in stopping drugs and cigarettes getting into Britain. I for one am not that sympathetic to people who go over to France and get caught dont do the crime and all that. However, for some people Ripley slightly pious tone throughout might prevent them from enjoying any other elements of the story.
For fans of funny crime fiction Bootlegged Angel is a more than adequate addition to my reading. He goes alongside the Elvis Cole novels or Colin Batemans work. The book is pretty slow paced in parts and the anti-booze cruisers message may be too strong for some. I found it a very entertaining read and look forward to visiting Angel and his undercover taxi again soon. Plus, who could resist reading a book with a picture of a cheeky moustached author inside the front cover?

MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, December 15, 2010 -- AllPennyStocks.com Media, Inc. (http://www.AllPennyStocks.com/) announces its latest article titled "Junior Oil & Gas Company Riding a Technical Uptrend As Oil Prices Continue Rising."
Companies mentioned in this article include Anglo Canadian Oil Corp. (TSX-Venture:ACG).
Article Excerpt:
Oil is still squeezing on $90 per barrel with the common consensus within the industry that it will top $100 per barrel before it sees any sort of a retracement in cost. Oil production companies have felt the ebb and flow of oil prices over the last several years and appear to be once again solidifying direction and pointing to higher levels being reached in the near future.
Calgary, Alberta-based Anglo Canadian Oil Corp. (TSX-Venture:ACG) is engaged in the exploration, development and production of petroleum and natural gas. Anglo holds a 100% interest in a large land position in the oil rich Nordegg Member formation, comprising 269 sections (172,160 acres) in and around the Grande Prairie region of North Eastern Alberta. Through the latest multi-stage fraccing techniques, Anglo is well-positioned to start extracting the vast amounts of oil that are known to be trapped in Anglo property in the shaley Nordegg Member, a known source rock in the Western Sedimentary Basin.

Coyle guided the Clarets, now managed by Eddie Howe, to the Premier League for one season during his three years in charge.
And after a heartbreaking relegation on a pulsating final day of the top flight in May, the Scot must now begin his mission to promote Bolton at the first attempt with an opening-day visit to his old stomping ground on the weekend of August 18.
Fellow relegated sides Blackburn Rovers and Wolves also begin their Championship seasons on the road with trips to Ipswich and Leeds United respectively.
Charlton Athletic, League One champions with a monster final points tally of 101 points, begin their return to the second division after a three-year absence away to Birmingham City, who missed out on promotion to the Premier League via the play-offs last term.
And the two teams who joined the Addicks in escaping the third tier, Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield Town, also start with away fixtures: the Owls head to Derby County while Town will be in Wales to play Cardiff City.
Blackpool, who fell at the final promotion hurdle at Wembley against West Ham United, begin with a trip to the capital to face Millwall, whose late surge of form helped fight off relegation last season.
Saturday 18 August
Barnsley v Middlesbrough
Birmingham City v Charlton Athletic
Burnley v Bolton Wanderers
Cardiff City v Huddersfield Town
Crystal Palace v Watford
Derby County v Sheffield Wednesday
Hull City v Brighton & Hove Albion

Let me ask for you opinion......fact or opinion.Will two single deep hives with ten frames of bees each make as much honey as one hive with two deeps and twenty frames of bees?Steve
**20 frames of bees is a big swarm, 4 kg.** as a general rule of thumb one frame full of bees =one pound of beesat the very least it would double your estimate of the weight 20 frames of bees will bring in surplus of 3-7 pounds (1-3 kg) a day on a major flow you should know this you run a balance hive on a scale - :? --RDY-B
What about combining two single deep hives with a queen excluder to make a 2 queen two deep hive? Would this configuration make more honey than two single deep hives?
The reason why I ask is because I have 3 swarms which are still in single deep supers. I don't expect to get any honey out of them this year. If I stacked two of them divided by a queen excluder, would I be able to get more honey production. My honey flow is July/August.

The quirky nature of the former prison - cleverly converted The lighting in the rooms was too dim to read
Althiugh it was a busy weekend, the staff, were pateient courteoud and helpful.
Excellent location, great design hotel There was an issue with my bill at checkout. Reception quite rude
Very comfortable and friendly staff. Would definitely stay again.
Responsive staff- about the best I have encountered. Taxi booked by hotel was 25 minutes late despite several calls by staff to chase
the hotel building is beautifully restored and kept, the room and service were of high standard the hotel is dark everything is painted black there are very few lights and most places such as the brasserie and the main lobby are dim , everybody dresses in black at the reception desk and at the restaurant, black bed cover and black bed cushions black desk closet night tables, grey bathroom, black wall to wall carpet with tiny strips of red that reminded me of blood
Location Uncomfortable beds, hairdryers not working and extremely limited sundry items, tea bags etc..
Nice hotel, interesting features and full of character. Unfriendly staff. Shower broken, both of us had to have cold shower in the morning, not so nice! Duvet cover ripped all across. When this was pointed out to the male receptionist on check out we were told that this is not generally the case in the c block!! No mention of sorry!! Made to feel like a liar!
The hotel is very stylish and has a unique atmosphere. It's very close to the city center and the train station which is very convenient. The restaurant has superb food and is reasonably priced. The shower was quite challenging. No matter how hard I tried, the water I got was lukewarm at best.
Well situated.Intriguing building with a good ambiance.Has the potential to be excellent. Seemed under staffed at reception and so no warm feeling of care ,especially noticeable as this was the only customer engagement point.
Central location, unique design, extremely handy for the Oxford Colleges which was why we booked it. Particularly liked the fact that you are immediately into the centre of the city as you leave the hotel Finding the hotel is difficult - the SatNav takes you to the back of the hotel( which is hopeless) and Oxford is very difficult for car drivers. Either do park and ride or leave yourself plenty of time and print a map.
Comfortable, clean, uniquely beautiful property! I have none.
Espesialy Yiannis perikleous was very helpfull because he specking Greek that is my language expensive
Very comfortable, centrally located, walking distance to most of what you want to see. Very friendly staff. Attached to a very nice restaurant. Could use a set up for tea or coffee in the room.
Very central location Hotel is a triumph of style over substance
An excellent welcome and staff could not do enough for us. Room was comfortable and beds lovely
The service was outstanding. Staff were really helpful, friendly and eager to make our stay great. The hotel has a fantastic location, right in the centre of Oxford, and it's clean, stylish and very comfortable. The bar and brasserie downstairs is great. I would definitely stay there on every visit to Oxford! There was nothing at all I didn't like during our stay.
Bedding is fine. Room wasn't available On time. Female receptionist was completely impolite.
Convenient location for walking to most of downtown Oxford. Bus and train station nearby for easy access from London and airports. Room was nicely furnished. Water pressure for sink and shower fluctuated wildly, from a trickle to splash-all-over-you strong. Minimal amenities - the hotel seems to consist of only a reception desk and a series of rooms. Street noise from college revelers every night (during term)
Location and the ammenities Dirty windowsDid not like the contract conditions - which were not stated at booking. If you dont report something you damages, you might get charged £50 pounds. Seems arbitrary to their favour.
Near the pedestrian walkway and close to many shops and pubs. The plumbing is apparently below the sewer line because there was a pump on the sink, toilet, and shower. Problem is it was unpleasantly loud. And I think they missed a plumbing trap, because the bathroom always smelled like sewer gas. But, other than that the room was lovely and quaint. Breakfast was simple but super good. Croissants, butter, jelly fruit, sandwich meats, coffee was good too.
I enjoyed everything about my stay at The Buttery. I wish I was there now. Next year I hope to stay ther again. I had to get back to the Unites States after only one week.
the bar and the reception make you feel welcome
The staff were very friendly and helpful, without being stifling. The noise! Really busy location and there was noise from the street below until about 4am.
I only booked the hotel, my colleague who actually stayed said the hotel was comfortable, and services good
convenience to town centre
THe location of the hotel is excellent. I arrived at Oxford late in the evening and took only 10 minutes to get from the central bus station to the hotel. I lived on the 3rd floor, so it was quite enough, although the was facing the George street. Anyway I used earplugs). This hotel is perfect for the short stay! The room was not clean enough, noise from the street
Comvemiemnt locati to the centre of Oxford. Cleanliness of ther room The bathroom floor was very slipery and coudl eb a danger for an elderly perosn. Also the staircase was slippery anmd itripped down a few starisa t teh bottom.
Location I did not like this hotel at all.
The heating was effective and the breakfast was good and promptly delivered at the time requested. The receptionist was friendly and helpful. I had trouble getting hot water in the shower. The tea and coffee tray took up a great deal of the desk space.
Clean, close to bus station, a little noisy, adequate for an overnight stay Nothing in particular
convenient location rooms small & could do with fresh lick of paint. Breakfast minimal & served in next-door restaurant! Not good value for price
Good central location Very basic facilities which could do with some refurbishment for guest's comfort
the hotel staffs are nice, and the room gave me a feeling of home Nothing
breakfast noise from people at bus station outside
Great location I found the service slow both for checkin and breakfast. I also found the common areas of the hotel a bit dirty and smelly, but the rooms were clean.
the breakfast and location Noisy and a couple of rude members of staff. Room 8 & 10 - we struggled getting in and out of the rooms keys locks doors werent right.
friendly and responsive staff - great location! poor quality of facilities - needs an upgrade!
Staff very friendly and helpful. Very central so a little noisy
Location convenience and proce which was the reason I booked. Nothing in particular. I knew the hotel was next to the main bus station so was expecting the noise but it actually wasn't that bad. The room itself could probably do with a bit of tlc but on the whole for the price and location it was worth it.
Simple accommodation in the town centre
Hotel staff were nice and polite. The location is excellent.

Carol Gelles chooses the 100 Best Vegetarian Recipes from her classic, award-winning cookbook (1000 Best Vegetarian Recipes), including Baba Ghanoush; Frijoles; and Szechuan Shredded Vegetables with Pressed Tofu.
Makes 5-1/2 cups
Serves 4 to 6
I think this dish is spiced just right; however, the definition of "right" varies greatly, so use more or less of the crushed red pepper to suit your own tastes. you will find pressed tofu in health food stores in the tofu section. It may also be called "baked tofu" and comes in flavors such as Thai or Mexican. The flavors are mild so you can use any of them in this dish. Serve over white or brown rice.
1 In a small bowl, stir together the broth, soy sauce, mirin, and cornstarch; set aside.
2 In a wok or large skillet, heat the oil over high heat. Add the gingerroot, garlic, and red pepper; cook, stirring, 10 seconds.
3 Add the carrots, celery, snow peas, and scallions; cook, stirring, until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the tofu; cook, stirring, until heated through, about 2 minutes.
4 Add the soy mixture to the wok; cook, stirring, until sauce is thickened, about 1 minute longer. Stir in the sesame oil.
Use julienned red or green bell peppers or bok choy instead of—or in addition to—the snow peas.

Restylane for Dark Circles? What Are My Options Before Doing a Fat Graft? (photo)
I always had dark circles. In the past few years, they got worse. I am so tired of trying to hide using makeup. After some research, I think that besides my genetic... READ MORE

Melbourne: Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra starrer Teri Meri Kahaani has been on way to generate the oomph factor among the masses in India and now the film is on way to create the vigor in other parts of the world. Yes, the promotional activities of the film have now crossed the border and started happening in other countries. The promotion of Kunal Kohli's Teri Meri Kahaani recently took place at the just wrapped up IIFA Awards 2012. Both Shahid and Priyanka created the best hype for the movie on the stage of the 13th International Indian Film Academy Awards and the whole Bollywood fraternity and the audiences out there loved it.
From Singapore, where the IIFA Awards took place, both Priyanka Chopra and Shahid Kapoor landed in Melbourne, Australia for the promotion of the movie. Shahid Kapoor tweeted that it is for the first time that he came to Australia and that is for his film's publicity. He adds that but his trip is just for one day.
Kunal Kohli's flick revolves around the three time eras – 1910, 1960 and 2012, which means the film's story talks about the leading pair's saga in three different time zones. It would be really interesting to watch this film on screen as its subject is quite alluring and attention-fetching. It is no doubt a unique movie which will surely grab the audiences initially. Later business of the film will depend on its worth – its content value.
Ex-flames Shahid Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra are working together in this film after Kaminey, the film which had ignited love between the two stars. These days, it has become a trend to see the ex-lovers working together in movies. Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone too are working in a film 'Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani' together. Well, the audience is sure waiting for the release of Teri Meri Kahaani'.

What our guests think of Villa Marine
Jorge Pardo
I visited a couple of days ago. I enjoyed every minute of my visit. I loved the swimming pool, surrounded by nice tropical flora. The rooms are very clean, spacious and homelike. It's a place that makes you wish to come back soon.
Helena and Patrick
Peter thank you very much for the wonderful time at Villa Marine, we enjoyed the nice pool, the birdwatching activities, the nice sunset on the beach and the rich natural environment. Thanks again.
This is just the most perfect place to stay when you're on a budget. I have just moved to Cairns and Peter has been great, helping me find my bearings, tips on places of interest and booking trips. Everything about Villa Marine gets a thumbs up from me, definitely recommended. I didn't want to leave!
Rod, Carol Wilford & Steve
Thanks heaps for having us. We loved it here, peaceful, tropical, excellent rooms, very comfortable, beautiful pool, gorgeous location. No hesitation staying here again.
Rick & Rene L
We stayed for 6 nights in the rainforest apartment which was light, airy, clean and comfortable – best room on the complex. Peter was the perfect host – couldn't have been more helpful. He arranged four trips for us. Villa Marine was by far the best of five different accommodations we stayed in whilst we were in Oz. Would thoroughly recommend staying at this resort and if we are ever back in Oz will certainly return again.
Wonderful place to stay! Villa Marine have the most peaceful environment for a tranquil holiday in Cairns.
Toby and Georgina
Thanks so much for everything, had a great relaxing time! We had to leave early to go back to the lyches but take care and we will come back and see you soon
Dorothy Helderman
A beautiful and relaxing atmosphere is found at Villa Marine where nothing was too much trouble for our host Peter Sprigg. Highly recommended to all who are looking for something special.
Andrea Miller
I had a lovely stay and found the atmosphere at Villa Marine to be uplifting. The beautiful beach so close and loved the local fruit and gorgeous vegetation. Peter was a great host and we had lots of laughs. A must is the local boat club, watch the sunset and have a meal. Looking forward to my next stay.
Alex and Jeremy
We stayed here for three nights and had a fantastic time. The place is gorgeous and the rooms are comfortable and clean. We loved the access to the beach and the views of the rainforest right out the window. Peter was very kind and helpful and set up our Great Barrier Reef tour with exactly what we wanted. We wish we could have stayed longer as it is affordable, luxurious and beautiful. And even though we were here in the summer, we were able to stay nice and cool with the air conditioning in the room just adding to the lovely stay. We absolutely recommend this to anyone. Whether you're a traveler on a budget, or someone looking for a nice place to vacation, you'll find what you're looking for at the Villa Marine.
I spent one week at this fantastic complex towards the end of the wet season. While I was staying in a fantastically furnished appartment I always had the feeling that I was in the centre of the rainforest because of the luscious surroundings of Villa Marine. The pool is set infront of towering rainforest greenery where you can swim, relax or have a barbeque. The appartment itself was aboriginal themed with some antique furniture and ornaments. It was very cool even in the high humidity. It was spotless when I arrived and presented to a high standard. While i stayed here I made a trip to the rainforest which I booked through Peter the owner. He gave me a great price and advised me on how to get there. The rainforest skyrail to Kurunda is only a 10minute drive away and accessible by public transport. I would definitely recommend it! It is a great area just to walk around with rainforest trails, mountain scenery and river and seafishing within walking distance. Yorkeys knob is a quaint little area, great for a relaxing break away from the city. The best aspect of Villa Marine has to be Peter, the owner, who was extremely helpful with any questions and extremely knowledeable on the local area. Make sure you go to him for your tours and trips, he offers the best prices I could find!
David and Sue
We learnt about this place from the Australian Lonely Planet Guide which especially commented on the friendliness and helpfulness of Peter the Manager. It is all true. This place has 8 holiday units with all cooking facilities around a grassed swimming pool/barbeque area surrounded by palm trees.All units have airconditioning and ceiling fans. It is located about 100metres from a long sandy beach which is really excellent for swimming. We swam everyday in sea water that was 24 degrees C – in two weeks in late September/early October. We got great great help from Peter in planning trips out to the Reef, Islands and Atherton Tablelands. Great help. David and Sue Goodwin
Wolfgang Gruber
Hi Peter , Great page you have there of villa marine. Love the videos as well. This is for shure the best place in cairns to stay at ! ( Value for money ) Soooo, all you facebook people out there give Villa Marine a go!
Sue M
We stayed at Villa Marine in September. Our bed was sooooooo comfortable. We had the best sleep of our whole month long Australian holiday (along with the one night at Tropicana on Philip Island) and the rainforest room has the best shower of the whole holiday. It has a delightful swimming pool and is walking distance from a most friendly bottleshop. But what makes this location stand head and shoulders above all the other 11 locations that we stayed at is the manager, Peter. Peter greeted us enthusiastically when we arrived and organized all our trips. Maps provided by car hire companies were tossed aside and detailed maps were provided which he would circle and arrow places we absolutely must see. Peter would join us on our veranda and regale us with amusing and entertaining tales. Stay at Villa Marine – you wont be disappointed. He is a truly lovely man and we miss him loads. We love you Peter
Nice place! I was looking for accommodation near Cairns and lucky me, I found this awesome place! I love fishing and birdwatching and in that place I made both activities!!! If you are looking for a affordable luxury place to stay with friend and family! Is really a nice place to stay, have a huge pool that face the rainforest! and every day there I saw more than 16 kind of birds! Also I went very early to fishing on the beach! I didn't get a good fish, Hahahaha.. just a catfish, but I enjoyed a lot with my colleagues there! thanks for everything Peter! 100% recommended!
Michael Reid
Dear Peter,thank you for arranging my Green Island visit. It was indeed a pleasent way to spend my last and only free sightseeing day on my 1st trip up to Cairns.
Sandra L
Fantastic self contained apartment, 1 minute from the beach and surrounded by vegetation. It s a very relaxing and charming environment, swimming pool, bbq, nice and simple decoration. Budget accommodation with the luxury of the location!!! The owner Peter is just awesome, helpful and welcoming… It s perfect for a break for a busy life, I ll be back!!
Marcus Moser
Thank you Peter we had a great time at your place. Thank you also for your help and recommendation! It was a really pleasure to stay in your wonderfull " Villa Marine"
Lynn C
Cairns and beaches is expensive for apartments. If you are looking for a place that is not going to break the budget yet give you all you want this could be it, and it is animal friendly so bring the pooch. One of the best beds we have slept in, the units are old but hold that old world charm of the Far North. Very clean and comfortable. Large swimming pool and the rain forrest at your door. Walk to the beach what more could you want? If you wish to stay in Yorkeys Knob this is the place for the price and the owner is lovely very helpfull with all tours arranged for you if that is what you are looking for.
Gilles Fischer
Hi Peter, Thanks a lot for booking the day out to the Great Barrier Reef and for your recommandations. It was an amazing experience!!!

It was 2007 when I stayed here and I still miss it and think about it very often, excellent place run by excellent people ♥
Erin McClelland
My son recently started uni & needed a place to stay for the first week. The place was great, quiet & not far from the bus stop. Peter was great & helped me out by going & giving him a wake up call when i couldn't get him on the mobile. Thanks Peter. I will certainly recommend Villa Marine to all my friends.
David and Jan Corcoran
Two weeks ago my wife and I decided to have a couple of nights away from home. Villa Marine was chosen and what we found what was a hidden gem in paradise and right on our own doorstep. Approx 30 mins from our home. Our room overlooked rainforest and so peacefull We could even the sea

Iggy Azalea is back. Depending on the position you took regarding the polarizing Australian pop-rapper, those four words are either the best news you've heard all week or another sign that the endtimes are near.
Extreme? Yes. But it's the most appropriate way to unpack the rise and sudden fall of a star who went from white hot to ice cold in a year.
Azalea, however, is looking to move past her haters — and her failures — with a new single, "Team." Teased since December, "Team" is her first new music since "Pretty Girls," a 2015 collaboration with Britney Spears that quickly came and went.

Scenarios can help prepare businesses for times of change
QUESTION: I run a small but thriving business. With the current 'credit crunch' and so much focus on climate change and rocketing fuel prices, I am concerned about what the future might have in store for business owners such as myself. How can I plan for the future?
Alan Branagh, Northern Ireland chairman of the Academy For Chief Executives, replies:
This nervousness that you are feeling is understandable, but with careful planning, your business will be poised to survive and thrive, no matter what the future might bring.
The good news is that there are many ways in which to plan effectively, and advice on how to do so is readily available.
You might consider doing some scenario planning for your business, and playing out — the "what if" process.
Scenarios are powerful planning tools that can prepare your business for the future in a time of rapid change.
They are neither predictions nor strategies but rather more like hypotheses of different futures, specifically designed in order to get creative about your future and highlight the risks and opportunities that changes could bring for your business.
In composing a scenario, you should particularly consider your own depth of knowledge of your industry and that of your key employees and senior team.
Throw in other factors like demographics, geography, political and industrial information, social, economic, environmental and educational factors that could impact on your business and its environment.
The objective is to create a depth of dialogue within your business that identifies the changes in these dynamics
and to understand how these changes could affect your business.
You can then construct a scenario of possible futures, which can be used to plan and prepare for what could happen.
This will also help you define how you make your business decisions. For example, you may wish to expand and buy new premises.
Before doing so though, you should think carefully about the outcome of these actions if the economy was to stay the same, grow rapidly, or decline and the consequences that these outcomes could have upon your business financially.
You may suffer significant losses if you purchase the property and the economy suddenly declines. On the other hand, the economy could see a sudden growth and failure to purchase the property would simply be a missed opportunity.
You should then play out the most in
teresting scenarios, thus allowing you to test gain feedback and therefore prioritise any actions and decisions based around the potential outcomes.
It is important to take time out of the business to work on your business as so many businesses get bogged down and hide behind the day-to-day work and don't get creative about their future.
Scenario planning will ensure that you are prepared and at least thinking about a number of possible outcomes, whatever changes may come along, enabling you to be proactive, rather than reactive. It is what great leaders and great companies do.
QUESTION: I pay fees to a corporate adviser to provide ongoing reviews and advice on my existing staff employee benefits arrangements. However, I am having to closely watch costs and so was wondering if it may
be cheaper to allow my adviser to take commissions from the products he recommends rather than writing him a cheque?
Bob Fraser, wealth adviser at Towry Law, replies:
This is not an uncommon question. Employers usually recognise the need to take professional advice regarding their employee benefits arrangements and there can be a perception that it is more cost effective to pay their corporate adviser by commissions from the products they buy rather than physically writing a cheque to their adviser.
However, it is important to understand that commission-based advice is not free advice. Your adviser will still need to get paid and so you need to recognise how much he gets paid, who pays for it and the impact it can have on
the advice and service you receive.
If your corporate adviser is paid by commission then they need to sell you a product that generates commission in order to be paid.
This could be, for example, a group life assurance contract or group pension arrangement.
If a commission-based adviser is reviewing your existing arrangements then they will get paid if they recommend you move from your existing provider to a new provider that pays commissions, but they will not get paid if they recommend you retain your existing arrangements.
This means that, while you will not need to write out a cheque, a commission-based adviser has a financial incentive in making you move from one product provider to another.
While supposedly being paid by the provider, commission charges usually come from two groups of people, the employer and the employees.
For example, a group pension where commission is taken may have 150% higher charges than a product without commission. Your employees will pay these additional charges every year and this will impact on the returns they get from their pension.
You should also realise that if you move from fees to commissions, the charges your employees are currently paying will be seen to rise, which could have a negative impact on their perception of the benefits you provide.
By contrast, a fee-based adviser should have no financial incentive other than working in your best interests and providing a high level of service so you will see the value in paying their fees in the future. So, while commission-based advice may give the perception of being better value, the reality is likely to be otherwise.

Favorite Cream and gel stylers ,No online products please!
Please helk I'm supposed to go to my SO's Xmas party next week so I'm not going to have time to order anything, help me find something local that will have my hair looking cute for the party.
What is the weather like where you are at? If it's not humid I love Herbal essence totally twisted for a light to medium hold. I also like the Body Envy HE gel for anytime of year. Are you on CG? Sorry I can't help a ton but every product except for gel I buy online!
While I love re:coil, I couldn't find a salon in the Vegas area - I checked AG's website.
I hear nice things from some about the Garnier Fructis curling cream. I've not tried it myself, so I can't speak to the ingredients.
I can't get gels to do much for me in the dry winter air.
A lot of people are liking the Loreal Out of Bed cream. I've only seen it at walgreens. I think you need a gel over it though... I've been really liking the Herbal Ess. Totally Twisted gel.
Also, if you'd consider a mousse, the JoiWhip mousse is amazing!!
I like the Out of Bed cream. It's cheap, it's local & it smells wonderful. It's a little like GF Curl cream, but much thinner & more spreadable. I've never used it w/out a gel over top, but it has a fair bit of hold & moisture on its own. I certainly like it better than any of the spendy creams in my PJ graveyard.
I have the out of bed cream in my plopped hair right now, I hope it works
I'm a big fan of HE Set Me Up.
I like Suave anti-frizz smoothing gel for a medium hold gel. I don't get much, if any crunch, but it holds really well.

427 small block
What is the strock and bore on a 427 small block. what do i need to build one.
I don't have the exact specifications of a 427 (they are most certainly in the Knowledge Base, and there is a recent thread..in the last day or two..that somebody listed them all out), but the 427 is certainly not a small block. It's a big block.
Good luck with the engine!
i think u can get a sb427 from a 4.250 bore and a 4 inch stroke but u need a after market block to do it$$$$$$$$$$
4.125 bore x 4.00 stroke = 427 inches in sbc, 4.185 bore x 3.875 stroke = 427sbc, 4.250 bore x 3.750 stroke = 427 bbc, 4.250 bore x 4.00 stroke = 454 bbc ???
A 427sb is going to be a expensive bulidup for starters your going to need a aftermarket block and a set of heads that can flow enough for those kind of cubes
are you talking about a sbc or a sbf? I know the ford 351 (not sure which designation, windsor, michigan/modified/clevland) can be made into a 427. I read the article in a mag, I'll see if I can find it later.
1984 Pontiac Grand Prix
-350 4-bolt main
-Torker II Intake
-Holley 600 cfm 4-barrel
-Flowmaster Afterburner headers
-Turbo 350 Transmission
I think one of the easiest ways to do a 427 Small Chev is with a World Mo-town block. Bill Mitchell just went to a 454 with the same block. It turns out he was waiting for Fel-pro to make some good head gaskets. The walls are reaaallly getting thin at 454 by the way! The block is a bigger deal than the heads. You can buy cnc ported heads that will flow enough.
Check out the Bill Mitchell 600 horse 454 crate engine
and the Bill Mitchel 427 crate engine
To me getting into exotic large cubic inch small blocks is kinda a waste.Cause a 427/454 BBC has way better head options as compared to anything availible for a SBC.Buy the time you get done buying a World block,special crank,rods,pistons and super heads.You coulda spent less into a BBl shortblock and spent more time on there better larger port heads.
Just my opinion.
You do NOT need another new block to build a 427 small block motor. You can build up to a 434 with a old style 400 block.
It's very expensive and a lot of block work and planning.
First thing you do NOT need a after market block.
I have built one and its in my Vette. No matter how you want to build it or buy one complete your talking between $7 to $10K if you want to build it correctly and depends on the quality of the parts, you get what you pay for. I advise unless your pockets are large and have the time to build it your-self, I recommend you build a good strong 406 motor.
With good heads, some flow very close to BB heads.
I have the use of the machine shop on the dragster that I pit crew on and do my own work, and know the right person to get the parts from.
I have over $6k in parts alone and stopped counting. But I like small blocks better than BB for the street and weight. Then you have to think of all the chassis upgrades to take the HP.
With the new style of cam location in the Rocket blocks from GM you can build a 504 small block (they use sleeve's) no worry about to thin on the bore, Sonny Leonard built one, runs on 93 octane dynoed at 1020 HP, 875 ft.lb. torque. The GM blocks have most of the clearance's already machined. Along with their connecting rods ground for clearing the cam.
Luv the smell of NITRO in the morning.
Has anybody built one on the World Motown block?
It says you can go to 414 without any further machining

I know World sells a crate engine 454 smallblock, called the Hardcore 454, it has the same bore/stroke as a big block 454 (4.250 bore, 4.000 stroke). Shafiroff also sells a 454 cube small block, and also a 472 small block, both as crate engines. All of these motors use the World Motown block, which is great because it is dimensionally the same as a stock SBC, making for better parts compatibility. If you are serious about building a big inch small block, it would probably be easiest with this World block. Just don't use boost or nitrous with it, the walls and head gasket will not take it.
If you have the money to do it, and build it strong, here is an idea for parts.
Engine shop short block $4600 assembeled.
AFR 210 comp $2000 or street $1300 ported heads
Victor jr intake:$219
Comp cam:314HR cam (252 252 @.050 .600 .600 lift) ~ $600 with lifters
This motor would have a powerband of around 2700-6700 RPM and depending on which heads you use make between 575 and 625 hp. If you wanted to use a mech roller cam you would be looking at 600-650 hp.
Good luck
Re: 427 small block
These blocks can take silly amounts of nitrous, but you need to run an MLS gasket for sure on the World if you do (if they are available). On the Dart either an MLS, Fel Pro or Corteco White Seal will work fine and are all available.
Heads are very important with these small motors. They can consume huge amounts of air. For heads you want at least a 220 runner and I'd suggest a Victor E intake. The Victor Jr is too small. The Super Vic is even worse (no plenum volume). That should make power up to about 6000 before falling off. Seen and done lots of real dyno pulls on theses motors. Cylinder heads should flow over 300 on the intake and over 200 on the exhaust if you want it to breath and make HP upstairs. A 434 with AFR 220 heads and a camshaft in the 260 range will make a bit over 600 HP and be done in the 6000 to 6500 range at most.
We dynoed a 434 last week with ported to the max World Products Sportsman heads that flowed in the 270 range and 13:1 compression for a dirt car in a restricted class. It only made a tad over 500HP. With the heads stock it made 450. Point being old tech type heads are not a good match for these motors, unless you are restricted by a racing class.
Bottom line is you'll be spending some money on heads. It is difficult to get too big of a head with a small block this size or too much plenum volume. The last dyno runs I made on my 454 small block it made over 500 ft/lb of torque at 3000 at the rear wheels with a 240+cc runner and makes power to 6500, so big heads will not kill the torque on these motors.
You will want to run a carb in the 850 to 950 range. Camshaft can be in the 240-249 range @ .050 and still be very streetable. You will also want big headers, at least 1 7/8. Three inch exhaust is a must.
Crank and rods, your not going to want to run the cheap eagle or cast Scat stuff with something like this. You want a good forged crank and a quality set of rods. Likewise with the pistons. Everything will need to be balanced and should be internally done.
I agree that the 220's would be a better match, but if you use the 220's you have to use a shaft mount rocker, and I thought the 227's may be a little much for the combo. I think the best way to match the parts would be to buy parts based on their recommended powerbands. Having a big motor like this would be would bring the powerband down alot, but the parts would still be matched. Rick, it sounds like you have some experience with large motors like this. I was just kind of curious what you think about my reasoning about the parts I listed for it. I choose them based on their recommended power bands, do you think that is a good idea? If so, if he went with a 220 runner head, a cam with a 240-249 2 .050 duration would be a mismatch of powerband by around 2000 RPM. Is it wrong to have this assumption? Here are the powerbands of the parts I listed, tell me what you think.
AFR 210cc heads 3000-7500
victor jr intake 3500-8000
It seems to me that these parts would act well togather although only making power to around 6000 RPM, because of the cubic inches.
Here is the recommended powerbands of the parts you listed
AFR 220 heads 4500-8500
Victor E intake 4500-8500
a cam with .244 @.050 duration ~ 3000-6000 RPM (304HR)
I agree that the 220s and the larger intake would make better high end power, but I would think you would have to run a cam in the 260-270 @ .050 duration range to make it match the rest of the parts. Am I mistaken?
Adam, I do have lots of experience with big small blocks and have run a 454 small block in my Camaro for over 3 years now. Before they were known about in the mags. The shop I have my dyno in also does a lot of big small block builds up for the dirt car guys and we just did one for a buddy of mine.
You can't really look at the catalog specs on camshafts and intakes and apply to a motor like this. You have to take into consideration that they are more like big blocks. So you pretty much throw that stuff out the window. Like us guys the big small blocks like lots of head. With the bigger bore and stroke your going to get velocity through a bigger intake and runner that you won't have on a 350 or 383. If you have too small of a head and intkake you'll shear the mixture due to too high a velocity and it will die on the top end due to poor mixture quality and not enough volume in the intake plenum. Keep in mind a big block head with 300cc runners is not a big head these days. An AFR 210 head is not going to make power to 7500 on a 427 small block.
Here are the thoughts on the components. Unless you go with a cylinder head such as an 18x Brodix or All Pro 17 degree with a runner volume in the 250-260 range your not going to get a big small block to rev to the moon with a reasonable duration camshaft. On a 427 if you crutch a small head with a huge by large camshaft (like 260-270 @ .050) to get the motor to rev you'll ruin the powerband below the peak and it will be hard to live with day to day. It also is not going to make that much more power on top. So, for a motor that will see street driving put a head on it that will feed it some air along with an itake with some plenum volume and cam it reasonable. Let the heads do the work on the top, which will be around 6000 or so with 220's, and with the reasonable duration you will build tons of torque down low and it will still make power on top in a reasonable RPM range.
For my application I am running All Pro 22 degree raised runner heads with about 240cc runners. They flow 340 on the intake and 240 on the exhaust. My cam is a 260/265 @.050 and lift is .704I and .669E on a 114 LDA. I run 12:1 compression and also spray it will nitrous. I have about 12" of vacuum with these specs.
My intake is a very worked over Super Vic set up for fuel injection with a 1500 cfm two blade throttle body. Both the runners and plenum are paper thin trying to make this intake work. I have spent a considerable amount of time trying to "free" this motor up on the top end this past winter with head tweaks and intake tweaks, and minor cam timing changes. Even wtih all these tweaks this past winter I doubt it will still be building power at 7000. I'll be happy if it builds strong to 6500. I'll know this coming week as it's going on the dyno for pulls.
We did a 421 this past summer for someone. Due to it going in a vette we were stuck right off the bat with a performer intake due to hood clearane issues. The customer will also be auto-xing the car a lot so this isn't all that bad. That motor got a set of ported Edelbrock E-Tec heads. Those runners came in right around 210 after porting. We did put that motor on the dyno but never were able to get numbers on it due to lightning damage, from a storm, on the data aquisition system. I suspect that motor will be all done by 5500 at most but it will make a boatload of torque.
What is really surprising to folks when we do a dyno pull is how in most cases the motors stop making power much lower than what the customer, or in some cases us, would have expected. Even if the motor was in a car prior and just got freshened the customer would swear it still pulled to say 6500 but in reality it dies at 6000 and stopped making power in the 5500 to 5600 range. What is also surprising for folks is how much power they don't make as well.

1 There's never a good time to play Brazil
If there is ever a good time for England to play Brazil, it is not on a sultry night in the Middle East during the worst injury crisis since Fabio Capello took the reins. With Michael Carrick making a late withdrawal, even the Italian's second choices were dropping out. England fielded such a weakened team in the end that defeat by a single goal could almost be regarded as encouraging, though much of the urgency must have departed from Brazil as soon as they saw the team sheet.
2 Defensive problems persist
Alan Hansen alert: Wayne Bridge and Joleon Lescott were not as bad for England as they looked for Manchester City the previous weekend. The left side of England's defence was considerably more solid than the right, though almost anything would have been. Capello would normally have preferred two holding midfielders in any line-up to face Brazil. He now knows there are times when England simply cannot provide that luxury.
3 Wes Brown goes to sleep
Brown was exposed on a number of occasions by the pace and quick-thinking of Nilmar. The stand-in full-back was beaten in a foot race in the first half, lost his man for the goal and was lucky Luís Fabiano missed the penalty after his attempt to chest the ball back sold his goalkeeper short.
4 Nilmar will be a star
Better players than Brown are likely to struggle against Nilmar in South Africa. Villarreal's left-sided midfielder caused Brown and Matthew Upson problems all night. He has the sort of pace that even England's first-choice defenders might have found difficult to contain, and took his goal with an impressive deftness of touch. Glen Johnson did himself no harm by missing this game.
5 Darren Bent is another Peter Crouch
That is to say, more likely to make an impact against lesser defences. Capello said England found it hard to find space against Brazil and Bent certainly did. It could be argued that he lacked a decent service but Capello wants his strikers to do more than just hang about waiting for inviting crosses. Bent was simply not involved enough. Jermain Defoe looked marginally more threatening when he came on.
6 Foster is an option in goal
Ben Foster did not look a bag of nerves and did not make any significant mistakes … apart from bowling over Nilmar in the penalty incident, obviously, but he had little option there but to do what he could. Would have been dismissed in a real game, and then England's goalkeeping cupboard really would have looked bare with David James out injured, but though he was not called upon to perform heroically Foster was quietly competent and his confidence will have been boosted.
7 England still casual in possession
Time after time England would put one pass astray and be caught in attacking mode as their opponents swiftly transferred it to the other end. While Shaun Wright-Phillips gave one of his better performances on the right, the smallest player on the pitch should never be the target for long, high balls from the goalkeeper.
8 Time to stop that Three Lions record
It is now 43 years of hurt and counting, and every time this once appealing but now 13-year-old tune gets played it seems longer. If England cannot travel all the way to the Persian Gulf without hearing that football's coming home, maybe it is time Capello had a word. It could be having a subliminal effect on the players. Or maybe lyrics to the effect that football belongs to us galvanises our opponents, or simply brings bad luck. It didn't exactly work like a charm in Euro 96, did it?
9 Brazil have better to come
Brazil can play a lot better than that, whatever John Terry might think. They could easily have won by three goals in playing within themselves in Doha, and one hopes the England captain's words about not seeing too much to be afraid of do not come back to haunt him. England's avowed plan to go into the World Cup with a more humble, respectful approach than last time does not appear to have lasted long.
10 England should not fear rival bids
Some of these rival bidders for future World Cups are nothing like as wonderful as they are cracked up to be. Qatar will probably get a World Cup before we do since Fifa would far rather bring tournaments to futuristic stadiums in opulent surroundings than have sponsors and corporates squeezing through the narrow streets of England's inner cities. But say what you like about London and Liverpool, you can normally get a taxi in under an hour. Slight problem with taxis in Doha: not many of them about, due to a high proportion of the local population who never drink and an even higher proportion of same who prefer to drive their own gleaming vehicles. There is no shortage of cars in Doha, and traffic jams are frequent too, even though most of the roads are new. Still, here's the good news. Some of the hotels have bars. Plenty don't and that's when you need a taxi.

Can the Pirates Sustain First Half Success?
The Pittsburgh Pirates have been the story of the first half of the season. Andrew McCutchen is putting up numbers worthy of an MVP, James McDonald is evolving in to a number one starter, and A.J. Burnett has put up an impressive season away from New York. But just like last year, the talk is the same: Can the Pirates sustain the first half success?
In 2011, the Pirates entered the All-Star break at 47-43 -- third place in the National League Central. This season, they've been even better. The club is a season-high 11 games over .500 at 48-37 and sit alone on top of their division.
Will Pittsburgh see another collapse in the second half of the season again this year? Players say it feels different. So does their skipper Clint Hurdle. But this year really is different. The reasons? It...

Hi, I need some help please I have batch file that call my php script..this php script is listening to connected socket...and i want to pass a parameter on it.but i am confuse how to do i send the parameter which is from the web..
example if i pressed sendcommand button in my web this parameter will send to the connected socket.
$command = $_POST['comparam'];
//$command - here i don't know what to do with the $command i don't know how to send this to my running batch file so that this will be send to the //client connected in the socket.
I have this script already in my socket(this the running batch file)
$mycommand = $argv[1];
foreach ($clients as $send_sock) {
socket_write($send_sock, $mycommand);
I appreciate someone can help me.
Thank you in advance.
If you are invoking PHP from the command line there will be no $POST, $GET, $SESSION, $REQUEST or $COOKIE superglobals - these are set by the webserver. $SERVER['argc'] will contain the arguments passed to the script from the command line.
Yes I know that there are no $POST, $GET, $SESSION, $REQUEST or $_COOKIE superglobals ,but i am confuse how can i dynamically send comand from web to socket.
Okay I have this exampleindex.php
<form method='post' action='toMycommand.php'>
<input type="submit" name="reboot" id="reboot" value="Reboot">
$command = 'xxxxxxx';//this command is for rebooting the device..I want now to send this to socket how can i send this ?
I have running socket listener ->listener.php which executed by the batch file..I want now the $command to pass to my lisener.php..
I know i could not do this.
Hi Jemz,
There are a couple of ways that I think you could send data from a web-based script to your CLI socket server:
Hi fretbuner,
Thank you for the reply..I could not get what you mean for message-queue type system ?
In your No.2,How can i launch or call the cmd so that i can connect to server as a client ?Is this what you mean ?
A MySQL DB could serve as simple message queue. Your admin script would add a row to the table with the command to be executed and a timestamp. Your socket script would check the table at regular intervals for new entries and, if it finds one, executes the command. Check out the wikipedia entry for more info on message queues.
Your socket server is continuously running, listening for connections from your GPS device, right? So you can connect to it via a socket, and send it the commands that you want relayed to the device.
Thank you for this idea,I will let you know if this will solve my problem.I'll be right back as soon as I can.
Hi @fretburner,..I got it now sending command from webpage to socket by connecting as a client...Thank you for this idea.

World cities looking to Portland for 'Green Street' ideas (Photos)
If you're reading this in Portland, or Gresham for that matter, you're likely only a few blocks away from a cutting-edge piece of stormwater management technology. Exciting, we know.
Known commonly as bioswales, these curb plantings are a powerful tool for keeping the Willamette River and other waterways clean during large rainstorms.
To the streets! Take a tour of some of Portland's 1,350 bioswales
OK, maybe they aren't exactly cutting-edge, but Portland's accelerated use of bioswales has caught international attention from other municipalities looking to keep rainwater out of over-burdened sewer systems and rivers. Representatives from Kansas City, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Toronto and Copenhagen have reached out to learn more about Portland's system of runoff management.
To date, Portland has installed 1,350 bioswales (click through the gallery above to see a map of their locations), managing as much as 125 million gallons of oily street water that would otherwise wind up, unfiltered, in the sewer system.
The city's Bureau of Environmental Services is now turning to local businesses to help manage these features through a sort of "adopt-a-bioswale" program called Green Street Stewards. It currently counts 16 business partners that have volunteered to remove waste, weed and generally keep up their local bioswales.
"(The program helps) stretch our resources, and is an opportunity to engage the community in helping keep the river clean," said Emily Hauth, the program's coordinator with the city of Portland.
S.E. Portland outdoor store Next Adventure is among the first Green Street Steward businesses to watch over a bioswale.
"We understand the importance of everyone doing their part in helping to protect our fabulous waterways. We spend less than 10 minutes twice a week (to maintain our bioswale), and we are on a very busy street with a streetcar stop. It really is not very much work at all," said Next Adventure's Eric Furlong.
Click through the gallery above for more about bioswales, and a map of where they're located in Portland. You can visit the Bureau of Environmental Services website for more information on the Green Street Steward program.

New Delhi, Jan 9: Delhi's Shikhar Dhawan ensured that his team registered an emphatic six wicket win over England in the second warm-up game here on Tuesday.
Chasing 295 to win, Delhi's Shikhar Dhawan hit a magnificent hundred while Milind Kumar made an unbeaten 78 to reach the target with nine balls to spare.
With a scintillating 110, Dhawan also made his point clear that he was keen on serving the nation, and was waiting for a call-up.
Having played his last ODI against Weest Indies in June 2011, Dhawan has been performing consistently in the domestic circuit.
Dhawan's 109-ball innings included 13 boundaries and 3 huge sixes.

Delhi's Shikhar Dhawan plays a shot during a practice match against England XI at Feroz Shah Kotla ground in New Delhi on Tuesday.
Dhawan and Unmukt Chand (37) added 98 for the opening stand, while unheralded youngster Milind and veteran Rajat Bhatia (45 not out) finished the run chase as they smashed 103 runs off 72 balls.
Dhawan impressed everyone and his innings was the highlight of the day, as he judged every bowler appropriately before going for a pull shot.
Earlier Ian Bell scored a fine century for England to help the visitors post 294/5 after being asked to bat first.
Eoin Morgan on the other hand smashed 52 off 55 balls and added 113 runs with Bell for the fourth wicket to help them post the challenging total.
Having rested Kevin Pietersen, Alastair Cook took the field and scored 44 before he was dismissed by Sumit Narwal in teh 16th over.
While Delhi bowler Sood restricted the visitors having claimed 3/45 and was the best bowler for Delhi.
A collective effort saw Delhi beat England in the second warm up game, after the visitors had lost to India A b 53 runs on Jan 6, Sunday.
With England losing both the tour matches, it remains to be seen if the senior team can take some tips from these to over power the touring side.
Brief Scores
England: 294/5 (Ian Bell 108, Eoin Morgan 52, Alastair Cook 44; Varun Sood 3/45) lost to Delhi 295/4 (48.3 overs) - Shikhar Dhawan 110, Milind Kumar 78*, Unmukt Chand 37; James Tredwell 2/49)

What are my maternity leave rights in PA?
Question Details:
The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) is a federal law that allows "qualified" employees to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid parenting, family, or medical leave. Under the Act, among other things, an employee may take an unpaid leave following the birth of a child. Men and women are entitled equally to this leave, but not every worker is qualified. A person must be a full-time government employee, or employee of a company with 50 or more employees, who has worked for the company at least 12 months and at least 1,250 hours during the 12 months immediately prior to taking leave. Typically, an employee may choose, or the employer may require, the use of any accrued PTO for periods of unpaid leave under the FMLA.
When possible, an employee must provide the employer with at least 30 days' notice of the need for the leave) otherwise notice must be given as soon as it is practical). An employer may require medical certification of a health condition and may require periodic reports during the leave of both the employee's status and intent to return to work. Additionally, an employer may require a fitness for duty certification upon return to work.
The employee is not entitled to accrue benefits such as PTO during their leave. Any benefits accrued at the time of the leave, however, stay with the employee. During the leave, the employer must maintain the health benefits the employee was receiving at the time leave began. Also, when an employee returns from leave they are employee is entitled to be restored to the same job the employee left when the leave began. If the same job is not available, the employer must place the employee in an equivalent job with equivalent pay, benefits, duties, and responsibilities.
Additionally, federal law (Title VII), also protects pregnant workers and job applicants from discrimination. Employers may not fire a woman because she is pregnant, take away benefits or accrued seniority because a woman takes maternity leave.
