text: Blogs RSS 2.0 Aussie stars back into club land by Ross Payne on Nov 18, 2011 0 comments | email | print While we get to sit back and pick apart the Socceroos performances against Oman and Thailand, there's no rest for the lads themselves as they scurry back to their club's around the world for this weekend's club action. Mark Schwarzer's Fulham ($3.25) are desperate for three points as they lag just out of the drop zone, they'll will be on the road against Sunderland ($2.30). Man City ($1.29) shouldn't have too many problems against the Geordies ($10.25) and Man United ($1.50) head to Wales for a tricky trip against Swansea ($7.20) at Liberty Stadium. The highlight of the Premier League weekend is the clash at Stamford Bridge - as someone said to me during the week it's "the battle of the battlers" Chelsea v Liverpool. I'm sure both sets are fans will be disappointed with recent form and a win here will get their seasons back on track – a different result could see their gaffer under some serious pressure. Chelsea opened at $1.78 (now $1.80) – which did seem rather short and punters knew it, so the juicy $4.70 (now $4.60) for Liverpool was snapped up quickly and we've even taken a number of bets for the draw - $3.50. The champions market still remains unchanged with punters only wanting the Manchester teams. City a slight drifter from $1.80 to $1.85 while United firms a touch from $2.80 to $2.70, Chelsea $9, and incredibly Arsenal – who are always well backed - are next at $26. Speaking of the Gunners, they head to Norwich this week and you'd think they'll stitch up the Canaries, rivals Spurs likewise at home to Aston Villa. Well, they are great rivals but this week punters (and fans) can unite in our Betstar North London special. You can get both Arsenal and Tottenham to win at the top price of $2.75! It's a big spoil as we think it's about time you got one over us! Remember if you're not already a part of the crew at Betstar.com.au, when you sign-up please make sure you enter 'GGARMY' in the promo code to support Australia's Football Fan network - the Green and Gold Army. Until next week, happy punting!

Good morning from Northern Ireland! It's a dreary day here but the kids are happy making breakfast. Soon they'll be working on a lapbook about inventors; and where would the world be without curious minds? Certainly it would be a very different life we'd lead! Math is important to the majority of inventions, if not all, whether we realise it or not. Many children don't think math is fun or worthwhile. Let's see if we can change their minds when they learn about the minds of Einstein, or fold some origami….suddenly math becomes more interesting and fun!! This week, let's have fun with math books on What to Read Wednesday! And you're invited to link up your family-friendly blog posts (they don't need to be specific to math) below. Have a great week!

I was talking to another doc the other day, and we started to talk about conventional wisdom.
Conventional wisdom is "commonplace knowledge." It's information that people generally accept…and then hold on to.
Economist John Kenneth Galbraith is said to have used the phrase in his book, The Affluent Society, saying: "It will be convenient to have a name for the ideas which are esteemed at any time for their acceptability, and it should be a term that emphasizes this predictability. I shall refer to these ideas henceforth as the conventional wisdom." 1
Looking back in time, conventional wisdom has guided us in the wrong direction quite a few times. Conventional wisdom has said that the earth is the center of the universe. Or that the earth is flat. Many of history's examples of when conventional wisdom has led us astray are so well known because of just how dead wrong they really were. It reminds me of a quotation from the Dinosaur Musings blog—from practicing physician Lucy E. Hornstein, MD—who says "a bad idea held by many people for a long time is still a bad idea."2
Conventional wisdom—when questioned in a business context—often results in disruptive innovation.
Just think of James Dyson, inventor of the dual cyclone bagless vacuum cleaner. He also went against conventional wisdom when he later used a workforce of fresh graduates—versus experienced manufacturing talent. He also chose to continually emphasize design, and he believed that design was more than just how something looks.
For us today, it appears he was ahead of his time. What is true is that he is someone who operates in a way that questions the status quo and questioned "the way things have always been."
When it comes to health and our pursuit of longevity, we also tend to ignore evidence that goes against so-called conventional wisdom. Or, we only validate or recognize information that confirm what we think to be truths. What makes this misinformation especially dangerous is that when it is blindly accepted, real harm can be done.
Just Because It's Convenient & Comforting to Us Today, Doesn't Mean It's True.
One of the major problems with conventional wisdom is that we stop questioning something, and we treat it like fact. In many cases, we latch on to idea or a belief far longer than we should…
I have to add that patients do depend on doctors and clinicians to guide them, and there is nothing wrong with this notion. I'm not pointing the blame at patients (or at doctors) for some of the pervasive myths we have in terms of health, and in terms of how we treat foot and ankle disorders that can be prevented. Instead, I urge everyone not to just look for the quick fix, or look for what is convenient. Let's start to question some of these deeply held pieces of "conventional wisdom."
I will not stop until the truth is known and conventional wisdom turns to wisdom: People need to know that calves are THE source of the majority of foot and ankle problems outside of trauma to the foot. I am not joking around when I say calf stretching is "powerful medicine, definitive treatment."
In the end, just like Dyson, we can examine deeply ingrained beliefs or norms we've come to accept, and in time, we will come to realize how some of these accepted beliefs are simply holding us back.
How is your foot or ankle treatment going using so-called conventional wisdom?

English football's longest-serving manager got the better of the dugout's newest recruit when Morecambe won at Oldham Athletic in midweek.
It pitted Shrimps' boss Jim Bentley – in charge of the club for approaching eight years – against Paul Scholes, who has not yet completed a fortnight at Boundary Park.
The eyes of the football world have been trained on Scholes to see how he would make the jump from punditry to management.
Watch as Bentley offers his first impressions of the former Manchester United midfielder's start to managerial life.

DEWA-TECOM joint venture company says deal completed for Palm District Cooling
Dubai district cooling firm Empower bought Palm Utilities from a unit of DubaiWorld for $500 million on Sunday, part of a shuffle of assets between companies ultimately owned by Dubai's government or the emirate's ruler.
Acquiring Palm Utilities, which includes Palm District Cooling, will give Empower about 70 percent of the United Arab Emirates' district cooling market, a company statement said.
District cooling is a centralised system for chilling large buildings, such as offices, factories and tower blocks, instead of having a large number of individual air conditioning units.
Empower will immediately take over all operations, assets and liabilities of Palm Utilities, which was previously owned and operated by Istithmar World.
A joint venture between Dubai Electricity and Water Authority and Dubai Technology and Media Free Zone(TECOM) Investments, Empower will fund the purchase through internal cash, debt and equity financing, the statement added.
Empower signed a $600 million, six-year loan facility with four banks - Citigroup, Emirates NBD, Mashreqand Standard Chartered - to fund its acquisition at the end of last year, according to Thomson Reuters data.
Istithmar World is part of government-owned Dubai World, while TECOM is part of Dubai Holding, the investment vehicle of Dubai's ruler.
The sale adds to a series of disposals by Dubai World, which had promised to sell non-core assets under a $25 billion debt restructuring plan drawn up after 2009, when the group fell victim to a property market crash and the after-effects of the global financial crisis.
In 2013, these disposals included British-based logistics warehouse developer Gazeley and Miami Beach's landmark Fontainebleau hotel, originally owned by Economic Zones World and Istithmar Worldrespectively.
Dubai has been juggling assets between its state-linked firms to allow cash to be transferred from stronger entities to debt-laden ones such as Istithmar. The emirate faces a heavy schedule of debt maturities in the next three years, including the first repayment under Dubai World's restructuring plan, worth $4.4 billion and due in May 2015; in total, the Dubai government and related entities have roughly $50 billion of obligations coming due between 2014 and 2016.
Last month, Istithmar sold the Atlantis resort, which sits at the top of a palm tree-shaped island in the Gulf, for an undisclosed sum to Investment Corp of Dubai, a holding company which controls some of the emirate's top firms.For all the latest banking and finance news from the UAE and Gulf countries, follow us on Twitter and Linkedin, like us on Facebook and subscribe to our YouTube page, which is updated daily.

As a product offered by Square, Square Register is advertised in the same way that Square credit card processing is advertised.

The company maintains a very simple pricing structure and does not bury hidden costs in a complicated contract. Its quoted pricing for Square Register hardware and software additions is clear.

If text is printed, test passes. If the printer passed this test but failed the Windows driver test previously then go back and check the the port settings in Windows driver to see that they are the same as used in the direct connection test. Verify the connection type (i.e. serial) and the port settings (i.e. 19200 baud, COM 1, etc) are the same.

Square still offers its traditional Square Stand and add-on hardware components for iPad, iPhone, and Android under the name "Square for Retail," but it's clear that the company is now promoting Square Register as the preferred option for retailers.

Absolutely worst customer support, if you can even say they have customer support. As mentioned in the article, you have to have a customer code to get access to a human, otherwise the automated system will disconnect the call. If you don't have it written down, and you have a login problem, forget getting any phone support. They will also conveniently disable your customer code in certain situations so they do not have to talk with you. I've had 2 significant issues with them over the last two years that left the company in a bind. I've also had funds sit for over 4 weeks waiting for deposit with real no explanation on why. Happy to no longer be relying on them for credit card services. Do not recommend.

Unfortunately, I found this out after the 30 day return policy on my purchase has passed. Also unfortunately, this seller (despite being very polite) was firm in refusing to let me exchange my purchase for a cash drawer I could actually use.
Update: After several months this printer is still working strong and still haven't had a problem with it. I noticed a couple of people complain about receiving the wrong printer- well the reason they received the wrong printer is because they ordered the wrong printer. The title plainly states the model is TSP143U, USB. TSP143U is the USB model, hence the U. If you need the ethernet model you'll need one of the TSP143L series models.

第 438 頁 - Romans, countrymen, and lovers! hear me for my cause ; and be silent that you may hear : believe me for mine honour; and have respect to mine honour, that you may believe: censure me in your wisdom; and awake your senses that you may the better judge. If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of Caesar's, to him I say, that Brutus' love to Caesar was no less than his.

We're all about the calendar these days – seems like every corner of the grid, every weekend and holiday is getting pencilled in with whatever. Appointments, visits, days blocked off just in case. This summer is going to disappear before I know it.
A detour to Walden Cabin would be my preferred method of slowing the clock a bit. A vacation property that is at its best as a relaxation destination, its secluded locale makes it just about perfect for either quiet contemplation or a really, really awesome time with someone you like. As long as you don't mind sharing the loft bed with them. (And the skylight just above it. I've never seen the stars like I've seen them at Walden.)
Sometimes I miss being in PEI, wandering around Charlottetown (an incredible capital city, reminiscent to me of Kingston, Ontario in its university-town vibe, complete with thriving downtown businesses and a beautiful waterfront), only twenty minutes from Walden. Most everything is only a short drive away on the island, and yet so many of those rural highways connecting here to there seem wonderfully isolated, private and peaceful.
One day I will plunk down somewhere out there and absorb a little bit of that isolation for myself.
Of course, I have a great thing going here in Ottawa, so I won't be re-locating the family out east anytime soon. Walden and its island surroundings will remain an elusive and much desired destination for now.
I understand that there are a few weeks available at the cabin this summer – shoot Stuart and Suzy an e-mail through the site and tell 'em I sent you. And make sure to pop into Charlottetown for some Cedar's lebanese while you're out that way – man, I could get very large eating there on a regular basis. I'm hungry just thinking about it.

Suzy, whose website has gone password-protected despite a serious lack of controversial and/or tittilating content contained therein (sideboob!), sends the list of 16 Things it Takes Most Of Us 50 Years to Learn. I will personally never observe rule #5, because my birthday is a time of great celebration for everyone who's invited over to my backyard. And #4 doesn't apply, because I still don't have a driver's license, won't until I'm 30 at least, and I expect to be a horrible hazard to the public when I do finally get behind the wheel. It's not going to be good.
Speaking of birthdays, Steven Tyler of Aerosmith turns 59 today. Here's an awesome MeFi post on the matter.
And if that wasn't enough, the Hip covered Train Kept A' Rollin' earlier this month in Denver. Here's the MP3 – ITEOTWAWKI(AIFF), from Atlanta, too. A reasonable attempt, fine for a live setting. And much better than the excrable Great Big Sea version that was on the radio a few years ago. Fuck Great Big Sea.
call it serendipity
Sometimes us Porchlight higher-ups get tired of meeting so many famous people. Heads of huge incorporations, powerful politicians, rock stars with groupies and pharmaceuticals to spare. Who has the time?
Yesterday, we found a way to squeeze the Barenaked Ladies into our schedule.
This one just kind of fell into place, with no egging-on by myself required. Kudos to Suzy for making the meetup happen while she's way up in the Yukon, riding dogs to work or whatever it is they do up there.
Most of my peers have seen BNL live before, so I was finally catching up with everybody in that respect. It was an excellent gig, with lots of tunes off of their latest record (or records, depending on how you view the Are Me/Are Men package). And the band were in fine improvisational form, riffing on politics and the Rideau Canal with ease. You know, just in case anyone forgot we were in Ottawa.
Christina Aguilera is in town soon. Stuart and I think we can probably miss that one.
back to reality
Airport 'security' nonsense aside, it was a great trip out east. (Or is it down east?)
We can get into all the details of the vacation another time, but for now, suffice to say that we had a very relaxing week. Calm for the most part, with the occasional wrong turn on the back roads of PEI to keep things interesting, and lots of reckless nudity. Makes me want my own secluded hideaway somewhere, the island being as good a place as anywhere.
I was a bit sad to take the long drive over the bridge, but was happy to arrive back home. Selected photos are available for your perusal.
Many thanks to Julie & Jody for stopping in to say a few words on my behalf here at A1, and of course to Stuart & Suzy for sharing their secret hideaway with us.
the police and the private
After a successful working day yesterday down at your local TELUS Mobility store, and I'm not using 'successful' in a sarcastic way or anything, because it really was a good commissioned effort by yours truly, but I'm going to quit that job soon anyway, maybe I'll tell you about it later, the wife and I met up with Stuart and Suzy (and eventually Suzy's sister too) for dinner.
The dining mood of the day swung wildly, first towards a desire for the meaty meatness of the Keg, but then way, way off in the other direction towards the Cam Kong restaurant, a hole in the wall down Somerset way. It was a good meal, with lots of food for not much money. Oh, and every comment on that review site regarding the wait staff is correct – not exactly attentive people, or polite, and we were invited to leave when the eating was finished because 'the next reservation was in five minutes'.
Undaunted, we were off to Pub Italia and a seat in the Abbey, for more mirth and good times. We were able to move effortlessly from downtown to Chinatown to Italytown because we're now hanging around with people who drive, a novel skill whose application is pretty useful for that sort of neighborhood-hopping.
The adults eventually had to go pick up their kids, so the two of us ended up at the Royal Oak for another drink and to catch the end of a couple hockey games. And then we got on the bus to go home, which was presently pulled over by the cops. A kid (and I mean a kid, like an 11 year old or something) stood up and rushed to the door of the bus, and we thought maybe we were going to see some juvenile detention going down, but it turned out that the police were actually after the driver of the bus, who was accused of hitting someone's car earlier in the evening.
Wild and crazy stuff.
So we walked halfway home and caught up with another bus a little later on. And that was the most eventful Saturday we've had in months and months.

Discount Drugs (or It Pays to Ask)December 12th, 2006 at 01:44 pm
That's the legal kind (of drugs I mean)!!! My DH went to the doctor on Friday and was prescribed some medication for his high blood pressure. The doctor mentioned to him that Target carried the generic version for $4.00 for the 30 day supply. Target is about a 20 minute drive and I happened to be headed for our local Giant grocery store where I usually fill our prescriptions. I told him I would check out the pricing there and let him know. I asked the pharmacist to please check the price and let me know before filling the prescription. She told me is would be $20.00 with my prescription plan co-pay. I told her no thanks, I was going to see if the doctor was right about Target. She immediately offered to check, saying that they had a data base with pricing from both Target and Walmart. She confirmed that the price was $4.00 and was able to offer to match that price for me. Yeah!!! Saved me $16.00, and a 20 minute drive or at the least a phone call and a drive back to Giant. It felt really weird asking for a price comparison on a prescription but it was painless and took less than 5 minutes total. If I calculated the savings into an hourly wage, I would earn $192.00 an hour ($16.00 per 5 minutes). Wow - wish I could find a full time job like that!!! Anyway, even though I felt silly telling her no thanks to the first price of $20.00 I am glad that I did. And obviously I am not the first person to do this or they would not have the competitions pricing and make offers to price match. We do not get prescriptions filled very often but in the future I will definitely call around and check rather that just assuming that my co-pay price is the best that I can do. What I find ironic about the whole thing is that the $4.00 price was without my prescription plan and we have been paying COBRA for our insurance since July to be able to stay insured. Got to appreciate the irony in that one.

Cyclones are used as separation devices to remove solid particles from a gas or a liquid. The cyclone shown in the animation below is a typical high-efficiency cyclone design of Stairmand with a diameter of 0.205 m. Incompressible flow with a density of air of 1.225 kg/m3 and a viscosity of 1.7894e-05 kg/m-s was assumed. The volumetric flow rate through the cyclone was 0.08 m3/s, resulting in an average residence time of 0.25 s. The simulation was performed using the Fluent 5, unstructured mesh CFD solver. For this LES simulation a fine grid of approximately 640,000 hexahedral cells was constructed. The simulation was started with a steady state RSM solution as an initial condition. A period of 0.5 s, corresponding to two residence times, was simulated using a time step of 5E-5 s. The animation shown here shows the precessing of the vortex for a real time of 23 ms only. The vortex and the walls of the cyclone are colored by vorticity magnitude. The animation is 1 MB in size and may take a while to download.

About Us
→ Your online store for traditional top end Italian food and wine in the UK ←
From Florence to Emilia
It all started at Lorenzo de' Medici's court, where the family Caneri took part in the Pazzi conspiracy (the plot to displace the de' Medici family as rulers of Renaissance Florence). On 26 April 1478 there was an attempt to assassinate Lorenzo de' Medici and his brother Giuliano. Lorenzo was wounded but survived; Giuliano was killed. The failure of the plot served to strengthen the position of the Medici and the Pazzi - the Caneri were banished from Tuscany.
The Caneri family changed their name in Pallai, after their fief Palaia near Pisa, and they moved from Tuscany to the Emilia region. They settled just on the other side of the Apennine Mountains and they imposed their rule to the local shepherds and farmers. Their coat of arms was three balls as opposed to the de' Medici's six balls.
Carducci and La Dolce Vita
In 1900 a young lady hosted, in her family's hotel and restaurant, the Italian Nobel for literature Giosuè Carducci, during his journey by coach from Bologna to Tuscany. That lady was my great-grandmother, Giuditta Pallai, a skillful descendent of the Caneri family, under the three balls coat of arms.
The mastery, kindness and beauty of Giuditta's daughter-in-law (my grandmother) was well known in the area and my grandparents' food shop and bar was to become an undisputed meeting place. Traditional Italian food, hand-picked wine and the joy of living were the key ingredients of their success. It was the 60s, the Second World War was long ago and Italy was 'La Dolce Vita'.
A family business
Nowadays, as back then, our passion for good traditional food and fine wine has not changed. We are a husband and wife team, Gabriele and Elisabeth, assisted by a small local team of equally passionate foodies- Italy2eat is a family run business.
We are always very happy to talk about food and wine, in either Italian or English! Please call us on 01476 550420 and follow us on social media.
We are Italians who are truly passionate about our food culture and history, and would never sacrifice quality for price. We love to cook and use all the products we sell on a regular basis.We don't sell anything we don't enjoy on our own plates and delight in sharing with family and friends!
OUR MISSION is AAA Italian Food
Our products are genuine Italian. We select 100% seasonal Italian food produced in Italy with Italian ingredients in order to have excellent quality and delicious taste.
We carefully source to offer authentic and handmade products thanks to long-standing direct relationships with our small Italian producers of great provenance and expertise. In this way, we support small producers squeezed by chain stores and let you taste and experience something really different as made back then.
We are dedicated to offering the best gourmet Italian food and wine at reasonable prices even compared to supermarkets.
We wish to be the UK's reference for high-end Italian food and drink offering the finest products at the lowest possible price points and creating a healthy food culture.
Sharing joy and knowledge is our main value.
We feel that it's not just important that we know everything about what we offer, but that you also learn about the products we are so passionate about. The more you know the more you enjoy.
For this reason, we would love to involve you in the stories of the people and the places behind what we offer and create value over time through sustainability, transparency, and self-development.

(UPDATED, 2:14 p.m.) With talks to modernize the North American Free Trade Agreement apparently coming down the home stretch, some Mexican trade sources are saying the U.S. has discarded its demand for a new trade protection tool for U.S. specialty crop growers.
Reuters reported Aug. 20 that Mario Andrade, vice president for foreign trade at Mexico's National Agricultural Council, said the U.S. demand for a new trade protection tool for seasonal commodities — favored by many Southeast U.S. produce growers — has been withdrawn.
Andrade told Reuters the U.S. decision followed a lobbying effort by Mexico that aimed to show the provision would help only a small group of U.S. growers while putting many others at risk of retaliation.
Industry leaders had no confirmation of the Reuters story.
Lisa Lochridge, director of public affairs for the Florida Fruit and Vegetable Association, said the group continues to stress to the administration that the specialty crop sectors in Florida and the Southeast can't survive without fair trade recourse against Mexico's unfair dumping and subsidy practices.
"As Congress and the administration know, our industry has suffered more than most under the current NAFTA," Lochridge said in an e-mail.
One source close to Mexican officials — and speaking on background — said the U.S. was considering removing the Sunset clause, a provision that would terminate the trade deal if not renegotiated every five years, in exchange for favorable terms for auto rules of origin. However, the U.S. trade officials then discussed offering the seasonality trade provision as a concession instead of the Sunset clause. The source was unsure if anything has been finalized, however.

I am trying to write a program that does some reading/processing/writing.
While everything works fine when I give my program a local path, I am faced with an unusual problem: huge memory usage when I process files over the local area network.
If the file path is something like "
//network_address/folder/*.ext" the program uses about 4G RAM (as opposed to 500 - 1G when the path is something like "
I used Process Monitor to see what is going on and noticed consistent read failures in the "
c:\windows\csc\v2.0.6\namespace" folder - which I hadn't even known existed. Researching it, I found that it was used to sync files with a network server, perhaps to view network files offline.
The above failures were happening exactly before a write to file process started (not before reads), the namespace folder did not get used, I had nothing synced, and the actual writes to the network drives were successful.
I haven't set up any option to sync folders... (and I don't want to)
As soon as I took ownership of that folder, the memory usage went down (though I still got read errors in Process Monitor).
So... I think my problem is I have been trying to do something I am not allowed to, and using a lot of memory to hold data while I am trying to do what I am not allowed, until I fail and finally put the data where it belongs...
The solution: avoid doing things that I am not allowed to do, right ?
Is there a way (preferably a command line that I can run in my code, or a registry entry I can modify) that can prevent my program from syncing files (if that is what is happening) or using that namespace folder when reading off a network drive ?
How can I prevent Windows from syncing files behind my back, and just writing files directly to the network folder ?

My Weekend
So here is the deal. I like to coach. I coach water polo because it is the sport I know. Before I coached water polo, I worked at a school where they didn't have a pool so I had to learn another sport. I taught myself baseball and cross country just so I could coach there. Some people serve as a big brother and some people a mentor. I like to coach because when you coach, you don't see the kids once a week... you see them 2-3 hours a day at practice and all weekend when you travel.
I care about my regular students but I have 165 of them. Honestly, I really never learn all the names until at least Thanksgiving or even Christmas. (Don't tell them) This year, I have 15 water polo players and I know each of them well.
Over the years, I have seen sports change kids. In the beginning, kids are willing to do what Rick (the guy I have coached with for 8 years... also a Christian) and I ask them to because they want to play. We stress grades, respectful behaviour and personal responsibility. Eventually as the young athletes grow into team leaders, they too require these personality traits from the underclassmen.
A lot of the kids we coach come from good homes where the parents are good examples. Many do not. We have seen a good number of kids totally change their lives, all because they were willing to accept our team values.
My players know that I have faith in God and in Jesus. Because I teach at a public school, I am not allowed to discuss much with them. I am not allowed to pray with them, even if I am not the one leading the prayer. This year, I have been blessed with 4 Christian families. Because these parents are around all the time, at home games and on the road; they also have a positive influence on our athletes. Because they are not public school teachers, they do not have the limitation that I do.
This weekend, I witnessed something that I have not seen in my time of coaching. My team all circled together before a game to have a time of prayer. This prayer was lead by our upperclassmen who at one time were on the verge of dropping out of high school to follow a life of gangs or drugs or whatever.
We also got to go out for some nice Mongolian BBQ. Thanks to Mr. Bryant for saying Grace before we ate. Again, I am not allowed to do that out loud.

Not swallowed by a black hole yet!
What everyone is asking about is the LHC.
Taken from LHC 2008
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a gigantic scientific instrument near Geneva, where it spans the border between Switzerland and France about 100 m underground. It is a particle accelerator used by physicists to study the smallest known particles – the fundamental building blocks of all things. It will revolutionise our understanding, from the minuscule world deep within atoms to the vastness of the Universe.

Super fast Internet for less $$$
This speed test was ran at the rush hour time of 7:00pm - Pacific. Earlier, I got 27777 from www.speakeasy.net/speedtest. I will run one later on tonight when the lines go quiet.
18 months ago we signed up for the Comcast triple play. (Internet, phone, cable TV) We had been with Comcast Internet for years but dropped our old phone and went VOIP. Well, as it turns out, 18 months is exactly the amount of time it takes to forget that you signed up for an introductory offer. This month, our $99/month offer went up to $150. OUCH!
I called tonight with the intention to fake quitting so that they would extend my offer. I did not even have to fake it. When I mentioned that our bill had gone up $50/month, the representative just said, "oh, we are running a September promotion." The promotion includes the DVR, which I was paying $15/month for and 3X faster Internet. (I was already fast at 6Mb/ps) Here is the funny part, the promotion was $5 less than I was paying before.
If you already have Comcast, give them a call. It might be worth it.
BTW, my Internet really is fast now.

In 2018 the Utah State Legislature passed a new bill, SB0134 – 'Materials Harmful to Minors'. This bill mandates that we, as your Internet Service Provider, notify you of filtering options which are available for you to filter content that may be deemed inappropriate for minors, and requires us to make recommendations. There are many options available for filtering content. Some of these options require a hardware device, and some use software on your router or on each individual computer or wireless device in your home. There are commercially available hardware options such as the Disney Circle router, or Netgear has parental controls built-in to their 'Genie' router hardware and software. You may find more information on these solutions from the manufacturer's website.
Many people will filter at the router level using one of these types of hardware solutions, or by using special DNS servers so that they do not have to monitor every device in the home individually. Many of these options will require a static public IP be added to your account in order to work correctly. Contact us for information on provisioning a public IP to your account. There is an additional monthly charge required for a static IP address. Whether you want to keep your kids' eyes away from inappropriate content or your employees from wasting time online, you'll find that there are a variety of great tools available for filtering internet access.
The following recommendations (originally posted on www.lifehacker.com) range in difficultly of installation, from as simple as requiring five minutes to install, to as complex as setting up a physical computer as a Linux-based content filter. Which method you choose depends on how comfortable you are with the various technologies employed. Many customers simply install software like K9 on each device. The choice to filter content and which content to filter lies with you, the consumer. Blue Spring Broadband is not affiliated with any of the companies or websites suggested here, and we cannot be held liable for any content which the following solutions do or do not filter while using our services. We are only recommending these options to you because of a legal requirement to do so, under the threat of penalties and fines for our company if we do not:
OpenDNS (Cross Platform, Free)
This seems like the most common solution that we see most customers using. OpenDNS is a perfect solution for people who either lack the time or expertise to set up and administer a full-out content-filtering server. OpenDNS replaces your current DNS server and allows you to filter every connection coming out of your house if you change the DNS settings at the router level. No matter if someone is on your main desktop or connecting into your wireless via laptop, everything will be filtered by OpenDNS. You can set custom filters to white list and black list specific sites and customize the range of filters they provide for you. If you're considering using OpenDNS as your household filter, you may want to check out this article on How-To-Geek for more detailed information. This option requires a static public IP address be provisioned to your account. Contact us for more information on adding a public IP.
K9 (Windows/Mac, Free)
Many of us have had experiences with K9's internet filtering, if for no other reason than it's used in thousands of schools across the country. One of K9's strong points is the division of filtered content into 60+ categories which allows you to easily block and unblock large chunks of their blacklist without having to get your hands too dirty. K9 is a desktop software solution; you install the software and it checks all the internet requests you make against the filters you have specified. In an effort to overcome the limitations of working from a static database, K9 introduced Dynamic Real-Time Rating to actively access the content of websites and ban them if they fall into the filter categories you've selected.
DansGuardian (Cross Platform, Free)
One way to measure whether or not Dansguardian is the right filtering tool for you is your willingness to install and tinker with an operating system like Linux. Dansguardian runs on Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Mac OS X, HP-UX, and Solaris. So this solution would be a great choice for our more technically-savvy users, who are comfortable with using the Linux Operating System. DansGuardian is extremely configurable and allows you to do all sorts of things, like block all images, filter ads out across your entire home network, block files from being downloaded by extension type, and control the effects of the filters, whitelists, and more based on which computer on your network is doing the accessing. You can deploy different filters for different computers based on domain, user, and source IP so your high school student doesn't get the same ultra-filtered content your elementary student does. DansGuardian needs to be paired with a proxy as it doesn't serve the web pages itself but only acts as a filter. Many users use Squid, also mentioned in the entry for SquidGuard. (Update: It seems that the active fork of DansGuardian is now e2guardian)
SquidGuard/Squid (Linux, Free)
SquidGuard is similar to Dansguard (e2) in that it is a stand-alone filtering tool you connect into with a proxy—in this case the popular Squid proxy. Also, like Dansguard (e2), you have a high degree of flexibility—dream up a combination of filtering parameters and there's a good chance you can make it happen with SquidGuard. Do you want to block a specific program between the hours of 9AM and 10PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays? Not a problem with the highly customizable SquidGuard. SquidGuard is natively a UNIX-environment only tool, and you can install it onto Linux, FreeBSD, and so forth.

Ted Hughes – "Crow's Song about God"
Ted Hughes – "Crow's Song about God"
Somebody is sitting
Under the gatepost of heaven
Under the lintel
On which are written the words: "Forbidden to the living."
A knot of eyes, eyeholes, lifeless, in the life-shape
A rooty old oak-stump, aground in the ooze
Of some putrid estuary,
Snaggy with amputations,
His fingernails broken and bitten,
His hair vestigial and purposeless, his toenails useless and deformed,
His blood filtering between
In the coils of his body, like the leech of life
In a slime and ochre pond
Under the smouldering collapse of a town dump,
His brain a hacked ache, a dull flint,
His solar plexus crimped in his gut, hard,
A plastic carnation
In a gutter puddle
Outside the registry office –
Sitting under the gatepost of heaven
Head fallen forward
Like the nipped head of somebody strung up to a lamp-post
With a cheese-wire, or an electric flex,
Or with his own blet,
Trousers round his ankles,
Face gutted with shadows, like a village gutted with bombs,
Weeping plasma,
Weeping whisky,
Weeping egg-white,
He has been choked with raw steak it hangs black over his chin,
Propped in the gateway of heaven
Clinging to the tick of his watch
Under a dream muddled as vomit
That he cannot vomit, he cannot wake up to vomit,
He only lifts his head and lolls it back
Against the gatepost of heaven
Like a broken sunflower
Eyesockets empty
Stomach laid open
To the inspection of the stars
The operation unfinished
(The doctors ran off, there was some other emergency)
Sweat cooling on his temples
Hands hanging – what would be the use now
Of lifting them?
They hang
Clumps of bloodclot, varicose and useless
As afterbirths –
But God sees nothing of this person
His eyes occupied with His own terror
As He mutters
My Saviour is coming,
He is coming, who does not fear death,
He shares his skin with it,
He gives it his cigarettes,
He cuts up its food, he feeds it like a baby,
He keeps it warm he cherishes it
In the desolations of space,
He dresses it up in his best, he calls it his life –
He is coming.

I'll tolerate you in my school, but not in my office.
This bundle contains swatch additions for the sweater vest and dress pants. I feel like the base game items looked similar enough to Kocho's clothing so I didn't make new meshes for them.
This bundle also contains a taser which is found as an additional swatch to one of the base game rings. I'm not sure why it didn't add as a separate item, but it still works so be sure to check the other swatches if you are having trouble finding it. You can also filter items to custom content if you're having trouble finding it.

History & productions
This building has played host to a wide range of some of the best shows over the past century. When it first opened in 1888 it started as a stage for operattas, but later started to produce plays and musical productions including those from big names such as Noel Coward, Alan Ayckbourn, Alan Bennet and Andrew Lloyd Weber. Currently showcasing a choice of comedy in the form of Showstoppers, a children's production in the form of The Gruffalo and a musical in the form of Michael Jackson's Thriller.
Facilities and seating
You can book tickets in advance either online or at the TKTS booth in Leicester Square. When you arrive, you'll find the building smack in the middle of London's West End on Shaftesbury Avenue at the edge of Soho, where the surrounding area is buzzing, vibrant and exciting.
An evening at this unique theatre is like stepping back in time to the glorious and glamorous pre-war period. The iron curtain itself is still manually operated by water as all stage curtains once were. As you enter you walk into the theatre's famous foyer, which was refurbished in the 1920's but is in perfect keeping with renaissance charm found throughout the theatre's architecture.
With 967 seats it's a medium sized auditorium that provides audiences with a feeling of intimacy and offers great acoustics. The seating includes a choice of stalls, circle, dress circle and balcony as well as a number of private boxes. The auditorium itself is designed in plush reds and golds.
An evening at the Lyric
Evening shows usually start at 7:30 but it's worth getting there early to soak up the atmosphere. Various restaurants nearby offer pre-theatre meals, allowing you plenty of time to get there early and head to one of three licensed bars.
Snacks are available to buy to enjoy during the show, although glasses and hot drinks are not allowed in the auditorium. You can pre-order your interval drink before the show to save time queuing in the interval.
Where to stay?
The location makes it easy to find nearby cheap accommodation and you can often find great deals in the area, whether you want self-catering accommodation, b&b rooms or a luxury hotel. Many hotels and bed and breafast are located to the west of Shaftesbury Avenue in the Mayfair and St James areas.
An evening at the Lyric is unforgettable; from the beautiful auditorium and foyer, to the excellent production values and the theatre's location in the heart of the buzzing West End.

Hey! ^^
My name is Ina (optionaly Yumi) and I'm a 18 years old ace-lesbian from Germany.
(Sorry if my english sucks, I'm still working on it… .___.)
I'm searching for someone who is okay with me being a living trash can and who is maybe in for a relationship.
I would prefer if you're between like 16-18, and live somewhere around Germany, like the Netherlands, the UK, Austria, France, etc. …
I love to draw,
what often ends in gay smut… but anyways. And I'm in my training as a designer at the moment, aiming for studying illustration afterwards. That basically means that I'm likely to stop in the middle of a conversation to rant about how bad a advertising I just saw, is designed… I apologize in advance :'D
I'm also fandom-trash… and not just in one or two fandoms, I get trash for literally everything. But hey, that means if you get me to like something you're in love with, I'll definitely will fangirl with you about it forever and send you a ton a stupid memes about it! <3
The fandoms I currently in are Eddsworld, South Park, Dan and Phil, and I'm kinda falling back into the Undertale and Harry Potter fandom… pls send help ,____,
And I'm a geek… I spend way too many hours playing video games. I love good story games and everything with an amazing soundtrack. And really dumb dating sims…
doesn't everybody have their guilty pleasures?On the topic of music I'm mostly into rock, metal, and game/film soundtracks. But I actually listen to a bit of nearly everything and am open for new stuff. ^^
My humor is as black as my soul, so you're better be okay with that… or you'll hate me within seconds. :'D
That especially include jokes about depression, mental illnesses in general and suicide – not because I think it's a funny topic, but because me and my friends can relate to these topics on so many levels, that we're at the point were we're just keep joking about it.
As you can probably read out of this, I'm sick! I have an anxiety-disorder, depression, and other things… so basically, I'm kinda bad at everything. It can happen that I won't answer you in days, because I feel annoying. Or you'll wake up to a wall of text about how special you are! I'm sorry… I can be clingy af .____.
But at least I'm able to spend hours next to you, having deep-talk or just watching the night sky in silence, without having any awkward silence. That is at least something, isn't it!? :c
So, yeah… I know I should probably present myself in a more flattering angle to get people to talk to me, but I believe you should know what kind of trash you may start talking to.
If you somehow still want to talk to me, here are my social medias:
