If you didn't love Freaks and Geeks, I'm sorry but we cannot be friends. The show, produced by Judd Apatow, introduced us to favorites like Jason Segal, Seth Rogan and James Franco. I always thought the best character was Bill (Martin Starr), but unfortunately he didn't have much of a fashion sense so I can't really feature him here. Lindsay, the show's heroine, had a comfy, no-frills sense of style. Unleash your inner "freak" with a slouchy canvas jacket, a good band t-shirt, and plenty of flannel.

Lafayette Hiller the next Stephen Starr?
Watch out, Stephen Starr, four young Philly guys are gaining on you. While Stephen Starr is the undisputed king of independent, upscale restaurants in Philadelphia with showcases like Morimoto, Barclay Prime, Butcher & Singer and Buddakan, and nobody outside the restaurant business has ever heard of Gary Cardi, Brian Harrington, Frank Falesto and Chris Coco, this quartet of local thirtysomething entrepreneurs is definitely moving up quickly along the rail.
While their business, Public House Investments, does not have a very romantic name, banks supplying millions in loans must be finding them pretty sexy. Early in 2005 the quartet opened Public House in the former home of Dock Street Brewery at 1801 Arch St. in Logan Square. It offers a new modern-meets-traditional decor and an American comfort food menu. At Happy Hour, their 77-foot-long granite bar is a real "meet market." It is said that money talks, but if all yours is saying is "goodbye," then perhaps you should try their enormous salads, which are a meal in themselves for $9 to $16. For more information, call 215-587-9040 or visit www.publichousephilly.com
In February of 2007, the enterprising quartet opened Mission Grill, a huge operation (140 seats and three private rooms) with a Southwestern ambience on the ground floor of the old Bell Telephone Building at 1835 Arch St. And in January of 2008 they opened Field House, a sports bar in the Reading Terminal's old Independence Bar & Grill location. It seats 315, thus making it the biggest restaurant in center city. As if that's not enough, they also own four restaurants in New York City and one each in Stamford, CT; Wilmington, DE; Baltimore and Washington, D.C. And they plan to open a second Tap House in Baltimore in October and an Irish pub called Harrington's Pub and Kitchen in Washington, D.C., within days. That will make a total of 14 restaurants.
Someone in the restaurant business once said that some days it just doesn't pay to gnaw through the leather straps, but this quartet of entrepreneurs apparently experiences many of the non-gnawing days. "It's exciting to open restaurants," said Brian Harrington, a Lafayette Hill resident who learned the business while working for McFadden's, a chain of pubs, for seven years.
"But the only way you will last for 20 years is to concentrate on good food. You will not make it over the long haul on just beer and music." (Brian, 38, a graduate of Germantown Academy, has been married for 10 years to the former Molly Foley, of Flourtown, a Mount St. Joseph alumna. Brian started out as a sportscaster in Baltimore, but he says the $7-an-hour salary quickly made the restaurant business seem more tasty.)
What has been the effect of the economic recession on the quartet's restaurant empire? "The recession has made us focus more than ever on making sure our customers are getting value for their dollars, along with a good experience," said Brian. "In years past, many operators had the luxury of charging a premium for their products because of ample disposable income and insane business expense account spending. Those days are gone, and they are never coming back. Ask any steakhouse operator in Philadelphia."
On Monday, May 10 of this year, the quartet christened their latest culinary child when City Tap House opened its doors at 3925 Walnut St. The new restaurant serves the region's largest selection of draft beers — at least 60, including many rare craft offerings — as well as a menu of American pub fare. The newcomer features extensive open-air seating on two terraces and a row of five stone fire pits overlooking Walnut Street.
City Tap House is located on the second level of The Radian, a new building that houses University of Pennsylvania students. The restaurant features a large "island" bar with all 60 taps, a 120-seat dining room and an open kitchen.
The timber-framed interior with a natural color scheme is outfitted by reclaimed wood from old barns, used for everything from the walls to the ceiling beams; slate tile floors and hand-hammered copper accents, including the bar top.
The restaurant's beer list was developed by beer steward Andrew Farrell, 30, an Overbrook native who was formerly a chef at Smith & Wollensky in center city and Fleming's in Radnor, among others. "Years of cooking got me into beer," he said, "and I treat beer like a great chef treats wine."
At City Tap House you will not find a Miller's Light or Coors, thank goodness. Of those we tried during a May 25 visit, I found Bells Oberon and Hitachino Nest White too bitter for my liking, but four that I loved were Schneider Aventinus, a Dopplebock with hints of chocolate, bananas and raisins ($8); Kira, a Belgian white with a light spice and citrus taste, and it's only 4.7 percent alcohol ($6); Southampton Double White, an American wheat beer with a spicy clove aroma and citrusy taste ($6); and Framboise, a champagne-like Belgian Lambic with a distinct raspberry flavor and just 6 percent alcohol ($8).
The American pub fare is produced by culinary director Brian Cooke, former general manager at The Fountain Restaurant at The Four Seasons, and executive chef Albert Paris.
A few dishes we would highly recommend are the hand-cut sweet potato fries with a sensual maple bourbon sauce and spicy ketchup ($6); a brick oven pizza with sweet fennel sausage, mozzarella and oven-dried tomato ($13); an open-faced Reuben sandwich with smoked brisket, Gruyere cheese, pickled red cabbage, Russian dressing and fries ($9); and an entrée of shrimp with an orange-thyme glaze and chorizo sausage ($22).
Philadelphia is now bursting with chefs from the world's most prestigious culinary schools, but not many can trump homegrown product, Albert Paris, 53, who grew up in a typical South Philadelphia Italian neighborhood, where cooking for him was almost as instinctive as breathing. (His last name does not end in a vowel because one of his forebears Americanized the name, which he believes was originally Parisi.)
"My wonderful Neapolitan grandmother would take me into the kitchen and teach me her cooking secrets," said Al. "I loved cooking from then on. I started working in a neighborhood restaurant at age 12 washing dishes, and I learned everything I could from the chefs. As a result, I was made sous chef at Lily's in New Market at the age of 18."
Paris' reputation grew as quickly as tomatoes in Tuscany. He moved to San Francisco, where he soon became sous chef at famed Café Riggio, then executive chef at the exclusive San Francisco Tennis Club. Eventually he moved to Napa Valley, where he was named executive chef at the spectacular La Belle Helene Restaurant and then at the Cain Cellars Winery. He soon moved back to San Francisco, where he ran two Italian restaurants.
You may have concluded by now that the one thing Paris cannot do is stay at one job for too long. He finally got homesick enough to move back to Philadelphia, where he became executive chef at two very hot properties at the time — Marabella's and Pomodoro. Of course he moved on and in 1993 became a chef/partner at Circa, which was at 16th and Walnut Streets for 10 years.
It will probably not surprise you that he moved on to other restaurants — Rococo in Old City, then City Grille on City Line Avenue, Guru on South Street, Zanzibar Blue at The Bellevue, Mantra, an Asian fusion restaurant/lounge near Rittenhouse Square, and Public House (and probably some I left out). His resume may be longer than the menu at City Tap House, but his food is always excellent.
Menu items range in price from $6 for the aforementioned hand-cut sweet potato fries to $29 for Saturday's grilled bone-in rib-eye dinner special. City Tap House, which so far has been attracting loads of Penn students and faculty members, serves lunch and dinner, seven days a week.

|She stands up in the garden where she has been working and looks into the distance. She has sensed a shift in the weather. There is another gust of wind, a buckle of noise in the air, and the tall cypresses sway. She turns and moves uphill toward the house, climbing over a low wall, feeling the first drops of rain on her bare arms. She crosses the loggia and quickly enters the house.
|In the kitchen she doesn't pause but goes through it and climbs the stairs which are in darkness and then continues along the long hall, at the end of which is a wedge of light from an open door.
|She turns into the room which is another garden--this one made up of trees and bowers painted over its walls and ceiling. The man lies on the bed, his body exposed to the breeze, and he turns his head slowly towards her as she enters.
|Every four days she washes his black body, beginning at the destroyed feet. She wets a washcloth and holding it above his ankles squeezes the water onto him, looking up as he murmurs, seeing his smile. Above the shins the burns are worst. Beyond purple. Bone.
|She has nursed him for months and she knows the body well, the penis sleeping like a sea horse, the thin tight hips. Hipbones of Christ, she thinks. He is her despairing saint. He lies flat on his back, no pillow, looking up at the foliage painted onto the ceiling, its canopy of branches, and above that, blue sky.
|She pours calamine in stripes across his chest where he is less burned, where she can touch him. She loves the hollow below the lowest rib, its cliff of skin. Reaching his shoulders she blows cool air onto his neck, and he mutters.
|What? she asks, coming out of her concentration.
|He turns his dark face with its gray eyes towards her. She puts her hand into her pocket. She unskins the plum with her teeth, withdraws the stone and passes the flesh of the fruit into his mouth.
|He whispers again, dragging the listening heart of the young nurse beside him to wherever his mind is, into that well of memory he kept plunging into during those months before he died.

Book Description:
The general idea of the use of a church porch at the present time is apparently that it is a useful place for wet umbrellas, and, while no word can be raised against so admirable a purpose, it was not the object for which it was originally designed. The uses of a porch were manifold, and we shall follow the development of the structure and the various purposes for which it was erected. As the porch is the approach to, and actually part of, the entrance to the material fabric of the church, so the font is the structure for the outward circumstances of the baptismal rite, whereby one enters into the spiritual life of the Church. Only those who fully understand the Christian's standpoint can grasp its real purpose, and many nominal Churchmen fail to see any use in the structure more than that which any small vessel would supply. In the corporeal and spiritual access to the Church is found the harmony of this dual subject.. In the second part of this volume we shall see how the font came to be placed immediately within the principal entrance of a parish church; and we shall endeavour to trace its material development according to the art of the period; and we shall see how it retained the principal feature of its earlier form until after the Reformation, unaffected by the change of method in the rite from that practised in the rest of Western Christendom.

INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — Recently, a group of enthusiastic marketing professionals from local businesses took Indian River County on the road and made a big splash at The Villages Travel Expo with more than 8,500 attendees.
Representing more than 25 local businesses, members of the Indian River County Chamber of Commerce Tourism Division's Group Travel Marketing Committee set up shop at the central Florida expo, held annually for one day in mid-January, to promote the many exciting attractions that make the community a unique vacation destination.
Representing Indian River County were Amy Selby, Springhill Suites; Jon Moses, Riverside Theatre; Cynthia Johnson, Capt. Hiram's; and Director of Tourism Allison McNeal with the Indian River County Chamber of Commerce.
The Villages is an ideal market that is rife with potential visitors who are active and affluent with healthy budgets for travel. Located an hour north of Orlando, the retirement community has a population of 90,000 with 89 percent taking at least two Florida vacations a year, 57 percent visiting natural attractions, 83 percent preferring mid-week travel and spending $198 million a year on restaurant dining.
"We are very excited about the warm welcome that we received from residents, as well as group travel planners," said Amy Selby, marketing director at Springhill Suites and chair of the Group Travel Committee. "The potential for bringing group tourism business to Indian River County is impressive. We captured over 4,000 email addresses from residents and have already booked one multi-day group tour with several others in the works."
The chamber's Tourism Division plans to add the 4,000 email addresses to its database of more than 20,000 travelers who receive an e-newsletter once a month, which includes highlights of upcoming events, suggestions for travel adventures and "hot deals" from area attractions, restaurants and accommodations.
Additionally, the chamber is working with tourism partners to schedule several familiarization tours with group travel planners that represent hundreds of social groups that are interested in Florida vacation destinations.
In addition to group travel, the chamber collaborates with local tourism partners to promote Indian River County as an ideal vacation destination among other niche markets based on specific traveler interests, including destination weddings, small-market meetings, cultural arts, heritage and eco-tourism. As the largest industry within the county, tourism has a tremendous impact on the local economy. Per the latest figures of the 2010 data from the U.S. Travel Association, travelers spent $363.2 million. That accounted for $93.2 million in payroll generated and $11.25 million in local tax receipts in Indian River County. From fiscal year 2011 compared to 2012, Indian River County bed tax increased by 11.5 percent or $166,398 in bed tax revenues.

Nowadays, many of us have multiple email addresses. Even multiple phone numbers. No fundamental difference.
Curious. City directories in Indianapolis from the '20s routinely mention "old phone" and "new phone" (for the same business!) with different exchange names and numbers.
Sometimes I have found mentions of "night and Sunday" numbers, "private exchange" numbers, "Bell phone" numbers, and alternate numbers for when "Private Exchange is closed." Businesses commonly listed multiple phone numbers for themselves.
Evidently, in the early days there were several telephone companies servicing the city that either weren't connected or had limited coverage. It must have been pretty confusing for people to keep track of which phone to use for whomever they were calling.

someone submitted a link to a story about a young trans guy fighting to get his real name used at graduation.
not only does this go against my personal editorial policy of not linking to stories about trans youth
but it goes against the general editorial policy for this news service
this is a news service by #girlslikeus for #girlslikeus
As in, while I sympathize with this kid's fight, this isn't the place for it.
I spend hours every week wading through piles of trans related news stories to curate the links for this site
so that other #girlslikeus don't need to
so that we can have one, just one, news service that focuses on us, that recognizes that we are human, and that treats us with consideration and respect.
please don't submit links to stories about trans men or trans masculine people
they won't be posted
For your glitter sex parties. For your ability to self-identity. For you to be femme trans men. For you to have GAY RIGHTS!!!! and to even have national conversations about ~marriage equality~ as shitty as they both are. We died to give you life, a voice, a fucking megaphone and stand so you could shout every fucking crime committed against your body/psyche/soul/family. We died to live as freely and proudly and as unapologetically as we could. We were murdered and tortured and imprisoned and ridiculed and dehumanized and marginalized and pushed out of the VERY ORGANIZATIONS WE CREATED SO YOU COULD HAVE YOUR ~PRIDE~. YOUR VISIBILITY. YOUR QUEER SPACES. YOUR FUCKING LIBERATION.
Pay us some damn fucking respect and realize that the least you can do is give up some of your space so we don't have to fucking fight our way to see the stage where our trans sisters aren't even performing.

Alex's Tech Thoughts
Everyone is thinking this, so I'm just going to write it.
The best companies don't do accelerator programs.
The best companies don't need accelerator programs.
Now before I continue, I should note that I don't believe YCombinator falls into this category. YC is in a league of their own and not structured like most accelerator programs. Not all, but many of the best companies actually WANT to do YC because of the structure (office hours and great speakers/dinners). It is pretty well documented that some founders do YC twice, even when they have tremendous exits in their first go-round. This post is for everyone else.
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Foursquare, Snapchat, Pinterest, Spotify, Evernote, Gilt, Zocdoc, Zynga, Groupon, Palantir, Path, Vine, Uber, Lyft, WhatsApp, Square, Yelp, Box, Kickstarter, Dwolla (shout out!), Shapeways, Makerbot, Braintree, Singleplatform, Buddy Media, Warby Parker, Fab, Etsy, and more.
What is the common theme?
They all didn't attend an accelerator program.
The list of companies that went through an accelerator program and are looking like wins is very short. Seatgeek, SCVNGR/Level Up, Onswipe, SendGrid, Gumgum, and a few more mentionable startups. Even the ones here are mostly still maybes (depending on how they play the next 18 months).
What the best founders and teams know is that when you do an accelerator program, it actually decelerates any momentum you have for the most part. You get a lot of advice, you take a lot of meetings, but at the end of the day there are diminishing margins/benefits in taking 3 months to attend an accelerator program.
I've been hearing more and more from founders considering accelerator programs and founders who have gone through accelerator programs, that it just isn't worth it. That if they could do it over again, they wouldn't have given 7% of their company for what they received. That demo day was great 2-3 years ago, but now you are just labeled an accelerator startup, probably not to exist in 2 years time.
Now, what about the people who don't have the deep network to pull from? To them, I say, there are typically a handful of folks in every startup hub who know everyone. They are the pillars of the community. As a startup founder, instead of going to an accelerator, you need to identify and connect with those pillars. They will help you get in front of everyone you need to.
Bottom line: Accelerators actually decelerate your growth because of the meetings and talks you need to take or be in. You get meeting disease. At the point where you need to be heads down on product, these disruptions of daily work become the bane of your company. The best founders know that when you are heads down on your product, you don't need an accelerator to make things happen.

7 Things Boris Kodjoe Should Do to Get Back in Shape
In the season premiere we learned that Boris has been snacking a little too hard during his off season. While for athletes off seasons end and the season resumes, for actors there really is no off season -- only ruts. Although we're not saying that Boris is in a rut (we'll leave that to Nicole), we've got a few suggestions as to how he can shed the weight and get back to keeping it real as a husband in Hollywood.

Turkler is the shrinking violet of the Turkish Riviera. Set twenty kilometres from Alanya this place has always kept itself out of the spotlight, and the result is a stretch of coastline that's uncrowded and relatively low key.
Like many resorts on Turkey's southern coast, Turkler's nerve centre is its wonderful beaches a mixture of white sand and pebbles, and there are plenty of sunloungers on the sands. If you want to explore further than the water's edge, head to the little harbour. Boat trips leave from here every day, taking holidaymakers to some of the best snorkelling and swimming spots along the coast.
Turkler's cuisine takes its cue from the sea, too. Fresh fish restaurants are the norm rather than the exception here. Many of them serve up sunset scenes alongside the seabream and sardines.
The famous drink consumed in Turkey is Raki, this clear brandy made from grapes and raisins, flavored with pungent anise and is usually diluted with water and sipped with snacks or meals
The currency used in Turkey is the Turkish Lira
The flying time from the UK to Antalya is approximately 4 hours 15 minutes
Away from the sea and sand, Turkler's main tourist attraction is Sealanya waterpark. When you arrive at the park you'll be given a wetsuit and a snorkel, then you'll be let loose on the park's long list of activities. You can swim with tropical fish in the coral reef; walk with stingrays in the manta pool, and comme eye to eye with a shark in the shark pool. Book you holiday to Turkler online at Latedeals.co.uk
On holidays to Turkler it's well worth visiting nearby Alanya, a stunning town built around a fortified harbour and castle. Old meets new here as there are some modern shops bars and restaurants throughout this picturesque resort, while the quaint waters edge is reminiscent of the olden days.
Seljuk Castle
Seljuk Castle is in the foothills of the Aydin mountains and dates back to the 13th century. Today the castle is used as an open air museum, access to the seaward castle is ticketed however much of the area inside the wall, including the landward castle is open to the general public. The wall surrounding the castle is four mile long and has over one hundred and fourty towers
Eftalia Village
The Eftalia Village has family holidays to Turkey all sewn up. With pools, slides, entertainment and sports, there's never a dull moment. Enjoy, table tennis, mini football, basketball and volleyball, join in with the aerobics, visit the gym, or simply relax in the spa.
Eftalia Aqua Resort
Its water fun all the way on holidays to the Eftalia Aqua Resort, with its very own Splash Zone. With eight adrenalin pumping slides including the Black Hole and Boomerango, the teenagers will never be bored, but don't worry about the littler ones, they have their own selection of slightly less scary slides too.

THUD! WD plonks down SIX TERABYTE 'consumer NAS' fatboy
Re: Reg unit acronym
Or perhaps give the unit a name that celebrates a significant point in the series (without giving anything away of course)
1GoT = 1MoD = 0.345 RW
There are other obvious choices, say around the 0.9GoT mark, or the 3.2GoT point, but the names would be serious spoilers.
Reg reader fires up Pi-powered anti-cat garden sprinkler system

I'd envisaged something more sophisticated involving a water pistol and targeting computer. But the only off-the-shelf targeting computers I could find were only keyed to hit womp rats. :(
This is great use of home brew tech though - simple but working does the trick every time.

Virgin Media struck dumb by NATIONWIDE DNS outage

You do remember that GCHQ can legally (according to them) track all calls to overseas servers, like facebook, twitter and ... google.
I don't think they mentioned any exclusions for DNS servers.
and, of course, the NSA are able to collect that data legally too.
YouTube in shock indie music nuke: We all feel a little less worthy today

The whole thrust of the move seems odd, given that Google beat its contemporary search engines to profitability by targeting small advertisers.
Or is this tack a replication of previous success? That is: provide the small guy the ability to advertise, but give the big boys big discounts?
Anyone able to state what rates big advertisers have compared to "indie" Adsense users?

EVE Online erects mashed-up memorial to biggest space fight in history

Let's face it, it's exactly the kind of thing people have been spending all that time building BFO spaceships for.
Ten classic electronic calculators from the 1970s and 1980s
fx7000 fail
I splashed out £50 (a load of money for me at the time) on an fx7000a, at the start of my first open university course. It'll be worth it, I thought, as I'll make a lot of use of it over next 6 years.
It was really good, and quite fun to play with too. I knew someone - a non-programmer - who wrote a game on it.
However, when I started my next course I discovered that I couldn't take it into any further OU exams because it was programmable. Thanks for that.
I ended up buying the cheapest scientific calculator I could find, for about £3. It did me fine, and was also far cheaper for batteries than the 7000.
'Disruptive, irritating' in-flight cellphone call ban mulled by US Senate

BBC's 3D blunder BLASTED OUR BRAINS – Doctor Who fans
Logo OG
Watched the 3d version on iplayer, complete with one-eyed logo.
It WAS a bit annoying, but I was able to tune it out after a while. More annoying was the flicker - there was a lot more than I'm used to with blu-rays. Don't know if the refresh rate was lower or something.
I struggled to actually watch the thing in 3D, despite having all the required tech. I was out at the weekend. I eventually found an obscure blog posted on the Friday suggesting how to record from Sky using the red button channel. Not useful to me as was away by then.
For some reason my (not as smart as they'd like to think) TV wasn't able to work out that it's own built in iPlayer app was trying to display some 3D content. Luckily my Blu-ray player also can talk to the internet, and I'd got iPlayer fired up on that I was able to get properly cross-eyed.
Perhaps all these things might suggest why few people have been watching BBC in 3D?
Oh yes, and the whole helicopter over London sequence. That was a bit pointless. I've since watched the episode in 2D, and can confirm that the helicopter shots looked better in 3D. But it didn't add anything to the plot, and wasn't really all that funny.
The paintings worked much better in 3D than 2D, and they were intrinsic to the plot, so thumbs up for them. As did the battle scenes, despite the non-movie-budget FX.

4. get it spinning to simulate gravity

BBC boffins ponder abstruse Ikea-style way of transmitting telly
audio mixing
Really like the idea of being able to set levels of music, fx and dialogue. The standard mix is not suitable for all circumstances. For instance turning the volume down so neighbours are not awoken by explosions can mean that dialog is inaudible.
But having seen how surprisingly complicated it is to mix surround sound properly, it may not be as easy as turning the fx down a bit.

Graphene QUILT: A good trampoline for elephants in stiletto heels
What's the problem? Simply use the previously tried and tested method.
Here's the development process:
1. Take a normal graphite pencil, and a roll of sellotape.
2. Apply the sellotape to the pencil "lead".
3. Remove the sellotape.
Voila! A perfect sheet of graphene.
4. scale up the above process to pachydermic scales, and repeat.
This methodology may result in the devastation of the worlds remaining Sequoia forests as we attempt to make pencils large enough. It may be prudent to decide up-front whether this is a wise thing to do.
Quantum boffins send data ACROSS TIME AND SPACE

I never totally understood why these spooky action at a distance interactions couldn't be explained by simple hidden variables. I've always just gone with the flow on it. If Einstein couldn't prove it was wrong, what chance have I got.
However, this experiment does show - without possibility of confusion - that something weird is going on, and that time is not a one way-trip.
It also gives me a few ideas... now where's my "Hong Kong Book of Patent Applications for Things I Know Nothing About?"

BT broadband goes TITSUP - cripples Scots, Geordies, Northern Irish
Maintenance scheduled for this morning
Don't know if it's related or not, but Plusnet were "performing some software upgrades on one of our RADIUS authentication servers." this morning, according to their customer service site. It was expected to be a 5 minute task.
Given that other ISPs were affected, I'd guess it's unlikely to have been the cause of today's problem.
They post warnings about future work like this all the time, and rarely are there any probs.
Plusnet are owned by BT?
I've been with Plusnet long before they were bought over. I have been surprised - and pleased - that their customer service has remained as good as it always was.
Also their product still has all the stuff BT users don't care about, like fixed IP addresses, php webspace etc.

Imperial Officer
Being unable to save games mid level really upped the ante on this game.
The last one was particularly nasty, as you'd expect.. The adrenalin was really pumping as you got locked in the hangar with a bucketload of robo death and only a couple of lives left. You knew if you died, you'd have to go all the way back to the start, to face all those rocket-wielding, plasma-blasting goons again.
The very end was a bit of a revelation - never thought I'd feel sorry for an inattentive imperial officer, but there you go.

Devolo dLAN 500Mb/s powerline network adaptor review
I've got a couple of the 500 AV plus and a 500 AVtriple.
They work well: a pc previously connected via wifi now has a solid, reliable connection, while another which had previous been directly connected to the modem/router hasn't had any degradation at all.
I got the 500mbps version for futureproofing: our exchange is due to get fibre broadband this year.
OK it won't use all the bandwidth available to the 200mbps kit, but stick in a NAS, and a bit of interference* as neighbours start using the same kind of kit, and you might be hitting your head on that ceiling.
*I have no idea if your neighbours powerline network really will affect yours. I'd just be very surprised if it didn't, at least slightly.

SUPERCOMPUTER vs your computer in bang-for-buck battle
Interesting article ( though no mention of either a ZX Spectrum, or computers used for Moon landings.)
I think your homebrew hardware is showing where some of the price differentials are coming in: cooling and infrastructure.
I'll bet supercomputers being used today need a bit more cooling that a couple of noisy fans, and more infrastructure than a domestic power socket.
Scale up that Generic PC to even Roadrunner speeds, via an imaginary beowulf array, and you will have a shed full of quarter of a million grey boxes. Going to be hot in there, and you'll need a few 4-way adapters too.

The good news is that they'll have been watching our TV for the last 40-50 years.
Currently such delights as Bergerac and the Crystal Maze will be hitting their screens, as well as, conincidentally, Red Dwarf. Lucky them.

Boffins make graphene micro-distillery
Future graphene research projects.
There are several significant inventions we're still waiting for - could graphene be the missing piece in the jigsaw?
1) try firing a beam of neutrinos at some of the stuff. Who knows? You might invent a time machine. Or a Warp drive. It's worth a try.
2) Or what about concentrated light? There's got to be a way to turn a handful of laser pointers into a lightsabre, and graphene might just be it. Since the lightsabre sound is v. important, try firing laser and sound at graphene at the same time.
3) Maybe it reflects gravity. We already know you can write upside down using a graphite pencil. A hoverboard would be cool.
4) But not as useful as a teleporter. Not one of those boring quantum teleporters. A real one. Maybe a pair of entangled sheets of graphene would to the trick

Is gay marriage the Marriage Foundation's blind spot?
Readers' comments (17)
Unlike some I am more than happy to open about who I am. I do think it is wholly unacceptable for a public servant such as Coleridge in effect to take sides in the way that they have (you can tell because the phrase "redefine marriage" is the phrase used by the opposition to this reform).
As it appears that my monogamous long-standing exclusive relationship with my husband is downgraded in their eyes to a "civil partnership" (how would you heterosexuallly married like to be singled out in that way?) I urge people not to support what I suspect is a very socially conservative organisation which a public official has no business being involved in.
@ Anonymous | 3-May-2012 2:36 pm
I suspect the comment from Anonymous | 3-May-2012 12:48 pm was not intended to be taken seriously. The reference to thought crimes being punishable by law should have been the giveaway!
@ Harry Small
It is becoming increasingly difficult to tell which posts are windups and which are not. I think yours is not a windup, despite its evident absurdity.
"I do think it is wholly unacceptable for a public servant such as Coleridge in effect to take sides in the way that they have"
Er? Isn't the whole point of the article that he hasn't taken sides?
"(you can tell because the phrase "redefine marriage" is the phrase used by the opposition to this reform)."
Windup or just plain silly? The jury is still out...
The point is that in effect he has taken sides. Look at the propaganda from the anti-marriage equality bigots about redefining marriage. And by implying in their FAG that reasonable people could actually disagree about this issue of human rights also says something.
By refusing to comment on the central debate in marriage at the moment, there is a tacit assumption that this body is against equality. They are in a difficult position as the issue is so contentious. Total avoidance of the debate, whilst remiss, is understandable.
If gay marriage is legalised it would be very interesting to see how the Marriage Foundation reacts, and whether they wholeheartedly support/promote this form of marriage like they do with 'normal' marriage.
As to the Australian cretin who commented that the will of the majority overrides rights of a minority- keep your flawed, potentially bigoted, utilitarian logic to yourself. Human rights, and freedom from discrimination, should belong to every individual. I'm dismayed that this type of philistine thinking still exists.
The relevant question is "would the marriage foundation support same sex marriage in the event of a change in the law". Even a non-campaigner should be able to answer that question.
That aside, there is possibly more fundamental problem with the Marriage Society. The "case" on the website reads like that of a well-meaning but numerically illiterate humanities graduate trying to grapple with research. This may be the fault of the website rather than the failings of the (I stress again - clearly well-meaning) founders, and if so I hope it is addressed. This is important because it is the basis of their direction of action and it appears on the face of it that the founders may be acting more out of anecdote than evidence. Of course, if your life is spent watching failing marriages destroy kids' lives, you'll think that a sound marriage is a better option. But that is only one window through which to look at the issue. Which is not to say that it wouldn't tally with a meaningful analysis of the data.
It would be nice to at least see how they are viewing the data controlled for underlying relevant variables such as education, socio-economic class, age of initial pregnancy, whether the relationship was one that had publicly declared the intention to start a family before getting married etc.
In the meantime, we can only wish them well in their quest to reduce the number of children caught in the cross-fire of bitterly failing relationships.
Oh dear. Just read some of the stats that The Marriage Foundation cites. Their website says that only 12% of couples married at 9 months were separated when the children were 7 (it actually says 13% - underlining my fears that they are innumerate. It's a small error, but one of reading, not calculation which I would expect more from someone was in a rush to fit the figures to their convictions rather than the other way around.) This is contrasted with the sad figure that 31% of cohabiting parents who separated over the same period.
However, an even sadder statistic here is that only 13% of parents aged of 40 at the 7th year had separated whereas a massive 38% of those under 30 at that point had separated.
Perhaps in light of these even more alarming statistics the Foundation, who's aim is to minimise family breakdown, will prioritise its resources towards reducing the incidences of younger families. Give the meagre resources that preclude them taking a stance on things like equality of access to civil marriage for gay couples, those resources must clearly be put towards solving the greater problem of younger families.

Because of fire regulations, no combustible, flammable or explosive items are permitted in storage. No furniture, rugs, carpets, or things of that nature may be stored. Refrigerators, bicycles, lofts, air conditioners, televisions and microwaves may be stored. Lofts must be disassembled and securely bundled (refer to the Student Housing Contract for more detailed instructions). Unauthorized or improperly stored items will be discarded by the College. Staff will not have access to these areas outside of the designated storage hours. Access to these storage areas will not be allowed until the official opening of the residence halls in the fall. These dates and times will be publicized as the semester begins.
Please note: Storage is at your own risk. It is strongly recommended that personal property insurance be obtained by each student. THE COLLEGE IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THEFT OF OR DAMAGE TO PERSONAL PROPERTY. Therefore, everything placed in storage should be locked and secured.
Do not leave any itmes in the Landrum Attic hallway outside of storage -- all such items will be considered abandoned property and discarded.
Storage Term and Conditions
- Storage is at your own risk. The College is not responsible for theft or damage to stored items. It is strongly recommended that personal property insurance be obtained by each student.
- Access to items stored MAY NOT be gained over the summer. This storage room will not be opened until the fall semester officially begins. Students in Summer Housing should store their belongings in the designated room in Landrum Attic.
- No combustibles, flammable or explosive items are permitted in storage.
- All stored items must be in stackable containers, securely locked and labeled with your name, next year's residence hall assignment, and the words "Store Until Fall 2014" or "Store Until Summer 2014".
- Refrigerators, bicycles, lofts and microwaves may be stored. Lofts must be disassembled and securely bundled.
- No furniture, rugs, carpets, etc. may be stored. Unauthorized or improperly stored items will be discarded by the College.

- Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon of the salt and the wax beans, return to a boil, and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and plunge into a bowl of ice water. Drain again and set aside. Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the almonds and cook, stirring often, until they begin to turn golden but not brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with the remaining salt and the pepper. Place the beans in a large bowl, toss with the almonds, and serve.
Tip: You can use fresh green beans instead of yellow wax beans.

↳ 1x12 Unpleasantville
I finally grew to be someone. Someone, who doesn't need you anymore. Someone, who doesn't need your lies, your fake promises.
slytherin pride.
don't get it twisted people - i love hufflepuffs. i am a slytherpuff. i also like laughing at them. so watch your fucking mouths.
Severus looked at her and smiled.
"You have such incredible talents," he said softly, leaning against a tree. It was Saturday afternoon, a beautiful day of spring, and all the students were out, around the lake, enjoying the warm weather.
"Other than pissing you off with my love for flowers and small animals?" she asked, trying not to laugh. Severus cracked a smile and shook his head.
"No, I mean you really are special. And… too good for that goober. I mean look at him," he put on his face a sad smile and looked around for James. "Look at him, flirting with all those stupid girls."
Lily was leaning against him, her head on his shoulder. She looked a bit sad at James, then at Severus.
"Sev. Would you ever, ever hurt me?" she asked in a broken voice.
"Never, Lily."
She sat bolt upright while Severus got up. She put forth her palm and looked in it, like there was something invisible. For a second, there was nothing but her sweaty skin. In the next second, there started growing a white flower, like those who used to grow on her family's fields.
"How's this one, Sev?" she asked hopefully, smiling at him.
"This is beautiful, Lily," Severus said, keeping the eye contact, not even looking closer at the small plant. "Just like you."
Like… they go to school and the teachers read throught the list of names and be like. Wtf is this, why is half of my class named Severus.
"I'm proud of you, Spencer."
"I don't care."
"Sure you do. Otherwise you could've just … oh, I don't know, maybe killed me?"
"Who says I won't?"
"Such a brave little boy you are. But your eyes give you away. You love me, Spencer."
"Why didn't you kill me then, when you had the chance to? You're not as heartless as you try to be, Katherine, are you?"
"… how about some more blood?"

Official Royal Wedding Photos Released
May 1st 2011 5:38PM It was worth getting up at 3:30 in the morning to watch such a beautiful wedding. The groom is handsome, the bride is beautiful and together they make a loving and beautiful couple. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will have everlasting love and happiness. Everyone looked great. The Queen was absolutely stunning and cheerful in her yellow outfit. Best of luck to all.
Official Royal Wedding Photos Released
May 1st 2011 2:10PM Adored your mother Princess Diana and I watched you as a young child growing up. Prince William you have grown up into a wonderful handsome young man. Your mother did a wonderful job bringing you up. I know she would be happy and proud on this your Wedding Day. I have watched you and Catherine throughout your courtship. You couldn't have picked a more beautiful, caring and loving woman for you wife. Her love is written all over her when she looks at you.
You make a beautiful couple. I wish you many years of happiness. I adore both of you.

You have been through alot during your lifetime. The world has lost a beautiful and wonderful actress. No one can possibly fill your shoes.
Report: Elin Divorcing Tiger Woods
Dec 16th 2009 2:40PM Don't believe everything you hear. Everyone knew that the women would be coming out of the woodworks, stating they had relations with him. Yes, he strayed but being a big icon in sports, lots of money, women are going to try and seduce any big known star with money. The problem is, men do not think with there brains or worry about the consequences when women are offering themselves. It is alot of temptation out on the circuit. I am sure he is not the only one to have strayed or ever will be. I am sure he loves his wife and definitely loves his children. I sure hope they can patch things up for the children's sake. Tiger is doing the right thing to try and work on his marriage and hopefully he has learned from his mistake. The women out there are just as much to blame, some men are weak when it comes to sex. Good Luck to both Tiger and Elin. They make a beautiful couple and both of their children are beautiful.
The Affirmative Case: Jay For Obama
Oct 14th 2008 2:04PM I am voting for Obama because his rational of the problems and his commitment to lead us MIDDLECLASS PEOPLE to a decent life are truly passionate for him. He sees how the country is going down the tube, people are losing their jobs, cannot afford their homes, having a hard time finding monies for groceries. We do not need another BUSH (MCCAIN)and we do not need a Witch(maybe B****) using her powers to do whatever as she has no experience and doesn't even know how to hold a question and answer session. This is why they do not let her on her own much and when they do, she cannot answer questions or talk to reporters. Another reason OBAMA is an AMERICAN just like the rest of us. He is half Black and half White. HIS BLOOD IS RED JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. This country is made up of many ethnic backgrounds and if it were not for our forefathers from many countries and many colors, we wouldn't be where we are now. THINK ABOUT IT AMERICA, there should not be any discrimination, we are all HUMAN BEINGS AND ALL AMERICANS. Lets get AMERICA going again like it has been for centuries.
McCain, Obama to Spar in Debates
Sep 21st 2008 4:52PM Just as someone else has said, if Palin (as she states) is ready to take over the Presidency ( Arrogant)than there should not be any problem with the debate between her ane Biden. Why should she get special privileges in the
Debate? Guess the McCain people are afraid that the American People will wake up and see she is far from ready to run this Country. Maybe in Alaska she can get away with it but they should realize that the American People are not idiots and can read right through her. I say Palin is a Wolf in Sheep's clothing. If they are elected, McCain will get even Richer than he is, and Palin will be on her way to becoming Rich also. How could McCain pick someone he only met once. That is just like picking someone off the street and saying,"Hey want to be my Vice President? WAKE UP AMERICA, we cannot go through another 4 years of He**. This Country that everyone is supposed to Love will be taken over by a Foreign Country and we will all be Broke and without our own Country. Is this what you want for your Grand-kids, GreatGrand-kids or Great Great-Grandkids? I am a 70 year old FORMER REPUBLICAN and I would never VOTE for these TWO.
AOL Straw Poll: Sept. 11-18
Sep 15th 2008 8:27PM Are you serious, the whole map is rigged to show that McCain wins all the states. I know for a fact that he won't win every state. I sure hope he doesn't win because in another 4 years we will be even worse off than now. We have one idiot running the country now and see where it got us. We do not need a VP who is another idiot with all her quirky ideas of how government is run and without any knowledge of Foreign Affairs possibly becoming the President if something should happen to McCain. People wake up, McCain has backed Bush throughout Bush's Presidency and will continue to do the same as President. This is not from someone who is young, middle-aged but from someone who is only 2 years younger than McCain. Where is your common sense people?
Chargers Center Calls Richard Seymour 'Cheap and Dirty' (and Not in a Good Way)
Jan 21st 2008 10:24AM The Patriots may be going to the Super Bowl, but they are not going honestly. Mr. Belicheck and his team cheated (caught once) who know how many other times they cheated. I do not understand how any of the team can hold their heads high knowing how they got there. At least the Miami Dolphins didn't cheat when they had a PERFECT SEASON. I lived in New England for 30 years and was a die hard Patriot Fan but after Belicheck got there, things started going downhill and I haven't been a fan since. How can you live with yourself Belicheck. You and Brady both are egostisical, cocky and arrogant people and I hope and pray the Giants beat you in the Super Bowl. Maybe then you will come down a peg or two. It doesn't pay to cheat, it will catch up with you sooner or later. What goes around, comes around.
General Says 'Gays Too Precious to Risk in Combat'
Aug 18th 2007 1:06PM Gays have been in the military for over 50 years. My ex was in the service and was gay. You would be surprised how many gays are in the service and fight just as hard or harder than their straight comrades. They have a right to defend this country just like anyone else. They let women serve. Why the segregation against gays. They are no different than anyone else,except for their sexual preference. You have straights who go both ways or are into other categories. You do not segregate against them. This is America and people should be treated fairly and not judgemental or segregated against because of their race, religion, sexual preference or any other category. We are all human.
Beauty and the Obese
Apr 2nd 2007 7:55AM The Americal Idol is about singing. Sanjaya can't even stay in tune or remember lyrics most of the time. As far as Lakisha goes, she is not as big as Reuben Studdard was and look what happened there. They called him a big Teddy Bear. What seems to be the problem is, it is okay for a man to be large but not a woman. Not every one in this world can be small or average. There is great talent on this years American Idol. It is to bad there has to be some young goofy guy who cannot sing that well stealing all the whoopla.

However, in the second quarter of Friday night's game against the Philadelphia 76ers, Kuester got himself ejected by arguing with the officials. While sitting on the bench, T-Mac couldn't stop laughing at his coach as he walked off the court. According to Marc Stein of ESPN, the coach should be on his way out of Detroit soon.
