It's REALLY strange to be starting in and becoming aquainted with a new fandom? It's been YEARS since I did, and this is the most welcoming bunch yet. I find the Whovians (I am one and love them) are a bit snobby and set in their thoughts, and if you come along with a new theory you get some people who love it and agree with you but WAY MORE who yell at you….they also look down on you if you don't know everything. I don't mind this, I did my time as the Noob and watched the old episodes along with the new so I could fit in. If you do know your stuff though you can talk to anyone any time about anything in the series, as long as you don't mind stares when it gets loud, because it will (though this is the same for all fandoms) be it on the bus (when people, usually middle aged men here in Canada, recognize my DW Tee's
Harry Potter fans can get kind of scary, what with the built in houses and competition, and the fandom being formed for so many at such a very young age that people are married to their ideas and kind of be mean to those who are new. There are really great sects of people in the fandom, but as a group, we're kind of intense…… I never went through initiation for HP though, one of the originals. Yay for being the right age at the right time, and liking to read! XD
Sherlock though is a very warm fuzzy place…. probably because of all the sweaters (sorry, jumpers) and the kittens :P When I'm confused about something I ask and get an answer. There are introductory blogs introducing you to the fandom.
Oh, and you guys clearly all do copius amounts of drugs to come up with your ideas :P
Anywhoo, just wanted to say Hi and Thanks.

Ex-miners take firms to court over 'inadequate compensation'
Readers' comments (6)
Presumeably these are test cases and if they are sucessful, then the floodgates will open.
Another potential area for masses of claims is undersettlements in simple traffic accidents. The way it has been working is that of the fixed costs of £1,200, half has already been paid to the referrer. This leaves about £600 to actually do the job. The only way to make a profit, is to accept the first offer that comes along. Anecdotally, a typical whiplash worth £5,000 is settled for about £3,000.
So why has Mellor Hargreaves issued these cases out of the Leeds County Court when they are based in Oldham and the majority of the Claimants are based in South Yorkshire?
Will be a bit awkward what with DJ Saffman (formerly of Saffmans) sitting at Leeds CC.
Please let's not have any excuses for unprofessional conduct. If the only way to make a profit is to "accept the first offer that comes along", then don't take on the work.
This is just what everyone could foresee when the Law society cravenly allowed referral fees aka bribes.
Whilst there may be a commercial pressure on some Solicitors to settle RTA claims quickly there is also an over-optimism on the part of many Claimants as to the true value of their claim.
The Court is unlikely to award £5,000 for a whiplash injury unless the Claimant has had significant symptoms for more than 2 years. Typically whiplash injuries have a shorter recovery period and have a lower value.
Peter Sigee is entirely correct.
Also predictive costs on a £3000 settlement would be £1400 and on a £5000 settlement would be £1800.
You can act in your client's best interests and still make a profit. 'Dragging cases out' as the insurers put it, is often the only way to ensure you get the fair compensation result. Some clients do however know they are being undercompensated but simply won't take your advice, especially when Christmas is coming!
And as for fixed RTC costs, just don't pay for your cases in the first place!?! I wish Solicitors as a whole would just send the claims managers packing...

An old favorite…
Posted 3 years ago from bookmarklet
Girls, boys, gay, straight...as long as it's hot.
If you're under 18 (or below the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction), you should go somewhere else. Might I suggest Wikipedia? You can learn loads of stuff there. Or, alternatively, check out the online version of Strunk & White's Elements of Style. You can get a good jump on your peers in terms of grammar. Of course, if you're anything like I was when I was sub-18, this instruction isn't going to stop you, so in the interest of responsibility, let me say that you should not base your expectations of sex on what you see in porn. Treat your partners with respect, communicate, and always use protection. Now seriously, get out of here.

Chapter 7: Shoe Design Flaws and Shoe Myths
In fact the opposite may be true. There has never been a single well done study to support the theory that more shoe is better. Strong evidence shows that thickly cushioned running shoes have done nothing to prevent injury in the 30-odd years since Nike founder Bill Bowerman invented them (See published article). Some smaller, earlier studies suggest that running in shoes may increase the risk of ankle sprains, plantar fasciitis and other injuries. Runners who wear cheap running shoes have fewer injuries than those wearing expensive trainers. Meanwhile, injuries plague 20 to 80 percent of regular runners every year. A recent study, by the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation and published last December in the academy's journal, PM&R, found that wearing running shoes "increased joint torques at the hip, knee and ankle," when compared to barefoot running.
As Dr. Lieberman demonstrated so well in his landmark paper in Nature (Jan 26, 2010)- footwear can influence natural gait. See Dr Lieberman's amazing site of research. Next time you are in a park, watch a child run barefoot. Notice the relaxed movement and foot placement. They lean slightly forward and their legs fall out behind them. They do not strike hard on their heels. Then watch the child with the highly cushioned or supportive shoe. The difference is easy to see. Anything on a child's feet should support natural neuromuscular development (see the best article ever written on the topic).
Children's footwear should have the following:
Watch any international marathon with world class African and Japanese runners and this is proof in itself. The best wear what is essentially a slipper on their feet. Enough shoe to protect them from the urban streets of New York City, Chicago, Berlin, or other major cities that host the events. The marathon world record was run in Adidas Adizero by Haile Gebresalasie. (See video of amazing efficient running form) . This is one of the lightest non shoes on the market. It has slight heel elevation, but for Geb he is going so fast and is so far forward with his lean…he is essentially running on his toes, settling down his heel, and springing for the full 26 miles with incredible elastic recoil of his Achilles and foot.
Again, the opposite is true here. Having a snug fit is like having a corset for your feet. Tight lacing and snugness prevents the natural spread of the transverse arch on landing and the longitudinal arch on functional pronation. These two functions are critical for shock absorption. Snugness in the toe box prevents the natural spread of the toes, neglecting them of their function in propulsion and stability. You see many yoga instructors recommend "yoga toes" to correct the deformities a snug toe box has created in modern feet.
One of the main causes of plantar fasciitis is elevation of the heel with a more cushioned midsole. When the heel elevates the plantar fascia and Achilles shorten and becomes susceptible to injury when stressed with running activity which tends to stretch them out and stress them. Another negative effect of a cushioned elevated heel is the loss of the involuntary stretch reflex of the Achilles and posterior lower leg muscles. This stretch reflex is designed to aid the forefoot with propulsion, yet it can only be activated if the heel comes close to the ground. The elevated heels of most available footwear, including athletic shoes, prevent this stretch reflex from occurring. The foot muscles and plantar fascia must activate more to make up for the loss of this stretch reflex.
Cultures that run and walk their whole lives in flat functional footwear (or barefoot) do not have the problems that habitual wearers of elevated heel shoes have through time. Fallen (or failing) arches rarely if ever occur in the Tarahumara Indians, Asian farmers and rickshaw walkers, and farmers in Costa Rica, Sardinia, and Icaria- the longest living places on the planet and places where moat of the day is spent on ones two feet. (seeThe Blue Zones). More importantly is that in these cultures osteoarthritis of the hips, knees, and back is extremely uncommon, perhaps another attribute to the benefits of the proper postural alignment from being flat to the ground.
Excerpts from USATF Coaching Article #168 a Must Read.
Modern running footwear is well endowed with cushioning purportedly to reduce impact forces absorbed by the body. However, there exists no scientific study providing evidence that cushioning has a significant effect on impact forces. On the other hand, there is evidence that an increase in impact forces is associated with softer shoes (Shorten, M.R. "The Myth of Running Shoe Cushioning." Keynote Lecture given at the 4th International Conference on the Engineering of Sport, September 2002; Robbins. "Overload protection: avoidance response to heavy plantar surface loading." Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 20.1(1988): 85-92). Combine this evidence with the previously mentioned sensory deprivation aspect of shoe cushioning and the role of athletic footwear as a protective device must be questioned.
How does running economy compare between the barefoot and shod state? Oxygen consumption has been shown to be 4.7% higher while wearing shoes (approximately 700 g per pair) and running at 12 km/h.(Warburton, Michael. "Barefoot Running." Sportscience, 5.3;2001). Reasons for this include the mass of the added footwear requiring additional energy to move the shoes through each stride, energy being absorbed by the shoe's cushioning, and the energy expense of flexing the sole of the shoe. When these energy drags are combined with the previously detailed loss of a stretch reflex from the lower leg it becomes understandable that barefoot running is more economical.

Palmer Luckey on DK2 and the future of Oculus Rift
It was a big GDC for Oculus VR, announcing the Dev Kit 2 for pre-order at a very reasonable $350. Shortly before the announcement, we caught up with creator Palmer Luckey about the consumer version of the Oculus Rift, what DK2 represents in terms of technical capabilities and why games using the hardware don't just have to be first-person.
Can you sort of detail the process you've had since the original dev kit was released, and how you got to the point where you are now? How has that been for you?
PL: Through hell and back, and back again. It's been a lot of work. We've been researching and developing what consumer VR needs to be, to be accepted by consumers. And it's a really high bar. Today's technology really can't get there in some ways, and has to be stretched to get there in other ways. But we think we've figured it out. DK2 is a really good step on that path. The consumer version is going to be better in a lot of ways.
Do you have a timeframe for that consumer version?
No time frame to announce. But the good news is that we know what we need to build, we know what components we need to build it. So a lot of it is being accommodating to other people's schedules. We're not a multi-builion dollar company, we don't manufacturer our own displays and sensor hardware. We redesign a lot, and we do build a lot ourselves, but we're dependent on other people's schedules as well.
$350 for the DK2. That's very reasonable.
I think that's super reasonable for a small run device. We don't plan on making millions of these like we will for the consumer version. We're trying to sell them as cheaply as we can, even if we don't make money on them. Because we want anyone to be able to develop — [with] consumers it's especially true, if a device is not cheap, it may as well not exist for many people. doesn't matter how great it is, they just can't buy it. But even for developers, we want any developer to be able to make VR games. Not just big developers or established indie developers. We want someone who's in his garage and just learning how to make games to buy a Rift and make games for it.
And some people weren't even programmers or developers before they bought a rift. And they bought one and said, "I need to make things. I have ideas I want to make." and if we hadn't made our dev kit so open, we would have never seen those things. That's the best way to foster innovation on a platform like this, is to get it in as many hands as possible.
To what extent do you see it as a gaming platform vs. something much larger? I like the idea that someone who doesn't play games can go into the Tuscany villa and get that sense of place.
Like a virtual vacation, right.
It sounds kind of bizarre…
It's not that bizarre. I think that non-gaming applications are going to be huge: education, architecture, training, vacations, movie watching… social communication. It's going to be a lot of cool things. I think a lot of the reason why we're seeing such a focus on gaming is that because the people who have the expertise to build 3D environments are game developers. It's not medical hospitals, or vacation planners. It's game developers. I think the technology will get adopted by more industries, and they'll get people who are more experienced in these other niches.
Can you talk a little bit about the two demos you're showing today?
So one of them is the Elemental demo, which we showed off at CES. It shows how you can examine things from multiple angles, lean in, lean out. We thought that was lots of fun. And the other one is Couch Knights, where you're competing against someone else. And you have, kind of like remote control action figures fighting it out. Kind of like Smash Bros. on a table in virtual reality. I wouldn't say it's a great game. It's a great tech demo. But you can imagine a game like that, if it were well balanced with good content, that's something you can't do any other way. And you can see the other person moving around a bit — once people can have full avatar embodiment, you'll be able to feel like you're present in virtual spaces with other people. And I think that's going to be really novel and new, and open up more gameplay innovations.
I feel like the point of one of the demos was to showcase how the rift can give you different experiences outside of first-person experiences.
Because that's how — that was some of the reasoning. The first thing people think of is first person shooters, because they're first-person games. But even games you're playing from a god perspective, or a third-person perspective, like controlling those characters— those are still really fun games. You don't have to build just first person shooters for VR.
One of the things I find in the original dev kit is that, no matter who's trying it, eventually you have to take off the headset, mainly because it gets really warm. Especially if you're wearing headphones. A colleague of mine played Euro Truck Sim 2 and in real-time drove from one country to another with the headset on across a whole afternoon.
You can do that in Europe, can't you? *laughs*
Yeah. And it did kind of burn him out a little bit.
And it will, yeah. DK1 is not nearly as good as DK2, and certainly not as good as the consumer version. A lot of the adaptation that people are going through, and the issues they're having, are not because of the experiences, but because of the hardware. And that is what we need to fix. And we're getting very close. You don't want the hardware to introduce problems — you want the hardware to be transparent. You want it to be like it's not there, so any issues they're having with being burnt out or feeling simulator sickness, you want to all be dependent on the content. And there will be content — like that content? Nobody is going to get ill in that.
DK2 reuses a lot of components from DK1 to save time and money, and we don't plan on that many. We don't want to spend money on new moulding tools that will only be used for a bit by developers. The consumer version is completely redesigned. We are working on integrating audio solutions so you don't have to wear bulky headphones. DK2 really is for developers. It is not for consumers. We don't need consumers to buy it, we don't want consumers to buy it. Because the consumer version is really going to be so much better.

MORGANTOWN - Deniz Kilicli and the Mountaineers basketball team opened up the season with a 95-53 exhibition victory over Glenville State.
West Virginia showed fans their team is prepared to open their first regular season in the Big 12 Conference. This team lost the opening exhibition game a year ago, something the players ensured would not happen again.
However, head coach Bob Huggins wasn't happy with his teams performance.
"I have some guys if they can't play harder than they did today, I really don't need them to play," said Huggins. "We talked about supposedly growing up. If they haven't grown up by now, they're not going to grow up."
Deniz Kilicli led the way for the team as he consistently fought his way inside, grabbed rebounds, and put the ball through the hoop. He finished with 19 points and three rebounds in just 17 minutes of play.
The Mountaineers took an early 6-0 lead, and never lost their footing. They held that lead throughout the game never giving the Pioneers a taste of comfort. Four points early in the game was the closest point differential of the game.
Offensive rebounds played a big part of WVU's success. The team was able to haul in 17 offensive boards throughout the game.
West Virginia's defense consisted of very aggressive pressure ranging out to the three point line. Glenville State couldn't handle the defensive scheme from WVU as it led to 25 turnovers, in which the Mountaineers grabbed 31 points off of.
At halftime, West Virginia had a 48-22 lead. Scoring in the second half was much closer.
Transfers Aaric Murray, Juwan Staten, and Matt Humphrey all saw their first action in the all-white West Virginia jerseys.
Murray had a game-high nine rebounds, as he added 13 points. Staten finished with the second most points in the night. The point guard from Dayton finished with 16 points and six assists, the most on the team. And the high profile shooter that is Humphrey managed four points on two-of-eight shooting.
If there was one positive thing Huggins took away from the game, it was the play of Staten.
"I thought Juwan was good. I thought he really tried to run the team, do the right things," said Huggins.
The three point shooting was controlled by the Pioneers throughout the game. West Virginia shot 7.1% from beyond the arc. Glenville State was able to shoot 27.3% from three point range.
Unfortunately for the Mountaineers, this game won't go towards the win-loss column.
The beginning of counted games starts in less than one week. Point guard Juwan Staten believes this team will be ready for whatever is thrown at them.
"I know we'll be able to go deep," said Staten. "As long as we play hard, we'll be able to play deep, play ten players and keep the intensity up."
The Mountaineers basketball team will officially open the season Monday night, November 12, at 11:59 p.m. when they face No. 21 Gonzaga in Spokane, Washington.

Your Jealous Again6 Reviews
Rumors abound
Gerard frowned as he opened his eyes slowly to see the sunlight streaming into his bedroom; he slowly shifted himself to see Bert sitting out on the balcony. He pulled the sheets from the bed around his naked lower half and shuffled outside to sit on Bert's lap, he nuzzled his boyfriend's neck occasionally nipping at his ear in an attempt to gauge some kind of reaction from Bert who continued to read the paper as he smoked his pre-breakfast cigarette.
"Wow she doesn't waste anytime does she?" Bert muttered to himself as he read page 6 raising an eyebrow. Gerard lifted his head from Bert's chest where he had chosen to rest it and looked at the paper. There taking up half of page 6 was a giant colour photo of Cami walking down an L.A. street with the Rev pushing a stroller, his arm curved around her his hand resting gently on her shoulder protectively.
A new Love for The Rev?
Recently Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan (drummer for Avenged Sevenfold) was spotted in L.A. with a young girl reported to be Cameron Walker Roth daughter of Socialite Julia Roth and MCR Tour Manager Kyan walker. The two appeared cosy and were later spotted whispering in each others ears lovingly at an L.A. eatery. Cameron recently gave birth to a baby girl whom she named Blair Jade Walker, the father is unknown at this time but according to sources close to both Walker and Sullivan, they were believed to have been "close" with each other mid last year shortly before Miss Walker fell pregnant.
Gerard frowned slightly. He quickly snatched the paper from Bert's hand throwing it over the balcony watching it flutter slowly to the pavement below in annoyance. He didn't know what annoyed him more, the fact that the press was insinuating that his daughter was in fact the Rev's or that Cami was looking at The Rev in the photo the way she had once looked at Gerard.
Cami scoffed at the newspaper throwing it back on the table as Jake walked into the kitchen walking over to the coffee machine and pouring himself a coffee, He walked over to the table and sat beside Cami picking up the paper his eyes scanning the article he chuckled slightly placing the newspaper .
"When will the stupid press realise men and women can be just friends?" she said as she tickled Blair's little foot with her finger causing her to giggle.
When I grow a moustache and start taking ballroom dancing lessons" Jake said vaguely sipping his coffee, Cami glanced up at him giving him a weird look before shifting her gaze back to Blair who had grown quite a bit in just over 18 weeks.
"Whatever The Rev just wanted to hang out, he was there for me when I was preggers and we were just catching up and god he just had his arm around me because that's what friends do" Cami said a little defensively causing Adam to raise his eyebrows.
"Okay Cami sweetie, I've known you since diapers and I've been living with you and Adam here in L.A. for just over a month. You are crushing on the Rev" Jake said simply.
"I am not!" Cami said whining with a pout causing Jake to bust out laughing as Adam walked into the kitchen sleepily, he placed a light kiss on Blair's tiny forehead before pouring himself a mug of coffee.
"You're not what?' Adam questioned sitting beside Jake placing a soft kiss on his cheek.
"Cami likes the Rev!" Jake shouted jumping up and running over to the sink to rinse out his mug. Adam raised a sleepy eyebrow at Cami.
"You believe me don't you?" she said giving Adam puppy dog eyes, he shrugged his shoulders.
"That look only works on me when Jake uses it" Adam said simply sipping at his coffee and picking up the paper. Cami groaned in frustration causing Adam and Jake to laugh; she stood picking up Blair and cradling her in his arms before walking off to her room. She walked into her room placing Blair gently in her crib, Cami took of her pyjamas and walked into her ensuite she quickly showered wandering back into her bedroom. She pulled on a pair of black skinny jeans along with a long sleeved grey and black sweater that was off the shoulders, she pulled her hair back into a messy ponytail tying it with a black ribbon. Suddenly Cami's phone began to ring, she ignored it walking over Blair's crib and picking her up in her arms. Her phone stopped ringing then started up again a few moments later. Cami sighed in frustration and wandered over to pick it it up.
"Hey It's me, I think it's time we talked,"

Pre-order cut-off: August 5, 2013
Estimated delivery date: Latter part of September 2013
And apologies for the long silence with all the questions. Although there are loads more here that I haven't answered, the one main question up in the air seems to be: will there be a season three or not?
The short answer: not yet
The long answer: not yet officially, because we have had no word from even Kawakami, who would probably be the most ecstatic about any news regarding S3. Is it in production? Maybe. Planning? Perhaps. Without any real insider info, there's no real way to say for sure.
I wouldn't hold my breath for it anytime soon though; it took over 2 years to make the 26 episodes of the Horizon anime, so unless they were already devoting time and effort to making it while it aired (which I doubt, as the studio's efforts were concentrated on LoveLive), we won't be getting any until late 2013 or 2014 at the earliest.
And even if there was news, I'd probably be the last to hear anyway. Still, I'll update if any big news shows up.
By the way this place will be on hiatus because I have other things to do.
Toodles ♪
My knowledge only goes as far as Horizon, and even then, countless others probably already know much more than I do anyway.
So no, I won't be answering any questions because I know so little about OnC that I couldn't possibly answer them with any reasonable level of confidence.
Not a word, not a peep from Sunrise.
If there was, I probably would be the last to know anyway.
Also I won't be monitoring this place anymore until said third season or if there's some big news coming out, due to other personal commitments.
Sad to say, but I due to academic reasons (ergo, concentrating on my thesis and trying not to fail out of a scholarship for my masters), I have decided to no longer continue maintaining this infodump, as well as the scanlations. This site will continue to stay up, but content will no longer be updated. Any questions sent here will be ignored. Rest assured that shirts will still be sent.
I suppose it's rather obvious that this was an April Fools thing. I am rather fond of jokes in bad taste, after all.
But yes, shirts will still be sent.
[Divine Transmission] Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon 4koma Anthology Ch01
Read online: Batoto
If you've been following the Horizon threads on 4chan, you'd already know that there's been an effort to translate basically every single bit of Horizon that we can get our grubby little hands on. Including the manga, of course.
Someone uploaded scans of the Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon 4koma Anthology (not to be mistaken with the Kyoukai Senjou no Horako-san 4koma), another anonymous person threw in translations, and Nackbjorn, the redrawer for the Horizon manga (non 4koma) helped with the edits and typesetting.
I myself haven't contributed to this (asides this scan of the tankoubon cover, not included in the release) however, but I'd just like to promote it since, well, sharing is caring and such. Even if it is merely quasi-legal sharing/caring.
Also Nackbjorn asked me to.
Update #2 on the shirts!
(the only Horizon-related thing I've had time to do as of late)
Packages for the first few orders are ready to go; just need to find a good time to ship these all. If I find a cheaper way to ship things, I'll refund whatever savings there was to those who've paid.
An updated inventory on shirts currently available:
I've also thought about all the time and effort I put into this project, and I've realized that I just won't have it in me to make more if I run out. Hence, this will be the first and last batch of shirts (a run of 30 shirts total) I'll be making. The next batch won't be for a long time, possibly never again. It's just too much for me right now.
Again, those interested, shoot an e-mail over to halvanhalev☆gmail。com with your handle name (or however you'd like to be called), and what size shirt(s) you want.You can check the price and shipping rates here. Payment is only through PayPal so please make sure you can pay via that.
Shirts are done!
Apologies for the wrinkles, this was the shirt I took out to test, and I didn't have any other place to lay it on other than my bed.
I need some time to organize invoicing and shipping and stuff because I'm busy with coursework + thesis work right now, so please be patient for a little longer.
I got a couple questions asking about extra shirts or something; I made sure to have a few extra shirts in inventory in the inevitability that the interest spanned beyond the readership of this place.
As of this moment, there are still these shirts in inventory:
Primarily due to a number of orders being cancelled, plus some extra stock. If you're interested, shoot an e-mail over to halvanhalev☆gmail。com with your handle name (or however you'd like to be called), and what size shirt(s) you want.You can check the shipping rates here. Payment is only through PayPal so please make sure you can pay via that.
Awfully late, but Happy Valentines to all the readers, followers, and Horizon fans out there!
And for those who don't have a significant other *cough cough*, don't worry, even Tenzou found Mary so that means nothing's impossible for you all out there!
Just publishing this to notify anyone following the project, as I'm reading (or at least, desperately trying to) the novels raw.

squeaky wheel gets the grease
The loudest complaints get the most attention, as in No matter what table they give her, Helen generally insists on a better one and gets itthe squeaky wheel gets the grease. The current version of this idiom, with its allusion to a wagon wheel that needs oiling, is ascribed to American humorist Josh Billings (1818-1885) in a poem, "The Kicker": "I hate to be a kicker [complainer], I always long for peace, But the wheel that does the squeaking Is the one that gets the grease." However, the idea of the idiom is much older. A manuscript from about 1400 had: "Ever the worst spoke of the cart creaks." Similar sayings were repeated over the succeeding centuries.

Installing OpenSuSE on my netbook - how I did it
Summary: A step-by-step screenshot walk-through of how I installed Linux on a system with UEFI BIOS and Secure Boot.
13 of 18Image
openSuSE User Account Creation
Here you define the first user account. The most interesting bit of this screen is the "Automatic Login" check box. By default, openSuSE will boot directly to the desktop of the user defined here. Remove the check on this box if you want it to boot to a Login screen and enforce password controls.
openSuSE Installer Summary Confirmation
This shows the one remaining "problem" with openSuSE installation on UEFI Boot systems. Booting will be done using "normal" Grub2, which is not what we want. This strikes me as a bit of a strange problem, since the installer has already seen, identified and configured the EFI Boot partition, but I suppose there is some technical reason that information is not being carried through to this screen. Click on the Booting header to get to the boot configuration screen and fix this.
Bootloader Selection & Configuration
This is the Boot Loader configuration screen. From the drop-down list, select GRUB2-EFI, then set the Enable Secure Boot check-box as appropriate for your needs.

Product: LaLoo's Goat's Milk Ice Cream
I admit I'm I bit of a sucker for eye-catching labels. Whilst strolling thought the frozen foods section at Bristol Farm's the other day, the label for LaLoo's made me pause. I opened the case and examined the container. It turned out LaLoo's ice cream is made with goat's milk. I was intrigued. The flavor I held in my hand was equally intriguing - Black Mission Fig. Despite the slightly steep price (upwards of $7 for a pint) I had to give it a try. Never having eaten ice cream made with goat's milk, the flavor was surprising and unique - light and creamy with a bit of a tang, which is balanced by the spicy sweetness of the fig. It was truly unlike any ice cream I've ever eaten.
Founded less than a year ago by a Los Angeles entertainment executive with an interest in eating healthy, LaLoo's is based out of Sonoma, California, where as their website boasts, their goats get to roam a 350 acre farm "where they graze on green grass and thistleberry in the warm Pacific breeze." It apparently makes for some pretty great ice cream. Other flavors include Vanilla Snowflake, Pumpkin Spice, Deep Chocolate (which uses 77% Scharffen Berger cacao), Molasses Tipseycake (molasses ice cream with chunks of oatmeal cookie), Lemon Chiffon (made from farm fresh Chevre and Meyer Lemon), and Chocolate Cabernet.
The ice cream is lowfat, low in lactose which makes it easier to digest than cow's milk, and contains no growth hormones. You can find LaLoo's at various gourmet and health food stores all over the country including Whole Foods, although they also offer mail order through their website.

yes! another goat product to add to my growing goaty obsession!
So far I'm addicted to: goat yogurt, goat cheese, goat butter (great on no-knead bread!) and goats milk!
the last two combined make really unique, utterly delicious mashed potatoes.
Thanks Grant!
I love goats milk too, I will have to look for this at WF. I'd love to try the Deep Chocolate if I find it - when we were in San Francisco our hotel left yummy Scharffen Berger chocolates on our pillows each night. The Vanilla Snowflake flavor sounds intriguing too, I wonder if it tastes like snow cream.
And if you go to Laloo's Web site you can get $1 off coupon! Whee!
This company also makes a frozen yogurt, I had to ask for it at my store here in Santa Monica, but it has only 4 grams of fat and boasts live active cultures which is pretty amazing for something so loaded with brownies! oh, the flavor has a cute title too: Brownie and Clyde!

New chip to bring holograms to your smartphone
Obi-Wan Kenobi may not be our only hope after all: Ostendo's tiny projectors are designed to display crisp video and glasses-free 3-D images.
By Evelyn M. Rusli, The Wall Street Journal
In the future, virtual reality won't require strapping a bulky contraption to your head.
Instead, imagine stepping into an empty room and then suddenly seeing life-size, 3-D images of people and furniture. Or looking down at a smartwatch and seeing virtual objects float and bounce above the wrist, like the holographic Princess Leia beamed by R2-D2 in the movie "Star Wars."
A key to this future may lay in Carlsbad, Calif., where startup Ostendo Technologies has spent the past nine years quietly working on miniature projectors designed to emit crisp videos and glasses-free 3-D images for smartphones and giant screens.
Other companies have shown they can project floating images that appear to be holograms, but many involve large machines employing a system of mirrors to direct light with limited viewing angles. For instance, the lifelike image of the late rapper Tupac Shakur, which graced the Coachella music festival stage in 2012, was a combination of computer graphics and video projection that relied on visual effects first designed in the 19th century.
Ostendo's projectors, in contrast, are roughly the size of Tic Tacs, powered by a computer chip that can control the color, brightness and angle of each beam of light across one million pixels.
One chipset, small enough to fit into a smartphone, is capable of projecting video on a surface with a 48-inch diagonal. A patchwork of chips, laid together, can form far larger and more complex images. The first iteration of the chip, which is scheduled to begin shipping next year, will only project 2-D videos, but the next version, expected to follow soon after, will feature holographic capability, according to Ostendo's chief executive and founder, Hussein S. El-Ghoroury.
"Display is the last frontier," said Dr. El-Ghoroury, who in 1998 sold CommQuest Technologies, a mobile chipset company, to IBM (IBM) for about $250 million in cash and stock. "Over the years, processing power has improved and networks have more bandwidth, but what is missing is comparable advancement in display."
The race to disrupt the screen is intensifying as both upstarts and technology giants try to find new ways to bring content to life.
Microsoft (MSFT) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) are both working on their own virtual reality rooms, building a complex system of projectors and computers. (Microsoft owns and publishes MSN Money.) Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) recently spun out a company called Leia, that like Ostendo, is trying to bring 3-D imaging to smartphones. Meanwhile, Facebook (FB) agreed in March to spend $2 billion to buy Oculus VR, maker of the Oculus Rift headset that pulls users into 360-degree virtual environments.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg was, in part, convinced of the value of virtual reality after he accidentally tried to set down a real world object on a virtual table while testing the Oculus Rift, forgetting for a moment that the table didn't exist in the real world, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
Ostendo, tucked away in Southern California, is little-known but has raised $90 million from venture-capital firms and Peter Thiel, Facebook's first outside investor, and has secured some $38 million in government research and development contracts. A large bulk of that has come from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or Darpa, the government's futurist agency that worked on the predecessor to the Internet and self-driving cars.
That capital has given El-Ghoroury, an immigrant from Egypt, the luxury to work for nearly a decade undisturbed. Ostendo now employs about 115 people, including scientists suited in scrubs and goggles who handle fragile nanotechnology equipment at a high-tech semiconductor lab.
The long effort has yielded the Ostendo Quantum Photonic Imager, an appropriately sci-fi-sounding name, which fuses an image processor with a wafer containing micro light-emitting diodes, or LEDs, alongside software that helps the unit properly render images.
- MSN Money: America's new robot army
During a recent test reviewed by The Wall Street Journal, Ostendo showed a working prototype: a set of six chips laid together that beamed a 3-D image of green dice spinning in the air. The image and motion appeared consistent, irrespective of the position of the viewer.
According to Ramesh Raskar, an associate professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, who is working on 3-D displays for MIT's Media Lab, Ostendo's advantage and the key to its 3-D capability is its resolution. The Retina display on Apple's (AAPL) iPhone, for example, has about 300 dots per inch; Ostendo's chips are at about 5,000 dots per inch.
Ostendo, which says it has several opportunities with major handset manufacturers, expects the first 2-D projector unit to be in the hands of consumers before the summer of 2015. With a lens attached, it will be less than 0.5 cubic centimeters, roughly the size of the camera in the iPhone. It also expects to begin manufacturing the second version of the chip, with 3-D capability, in the second half of 2015. The cost to the consumer should be about $30 a chip, Ostendo estimates.
El-Ghoroury said the company still needs to improve the 3-D product and is aiming to make the pixels even smaller to achieve higher resolution.
Ultimately, the larger vision is to have Ostendo's chips everywhere electronic displays are needed, whether it is a glasses-free 3-D television screen, a smartwatch, or tables that can project hologram-like images.
So what happens in a world where 3-D and virtual reality are everywhere? El-Ghoroury predicts people's relationship with technology will change and breed a wave of business opportunities, on scale with the introduction of the iPhone.
"Imagine if everything coming back to you was in 3-D -- all of your shopping, all of your gaming, every way you retrieve data," he said.

We also knew that the Elkhart prosecuting attorney, Curtis Hill, declared that no criminal act took place so no criminal charges were going to be filed. Many people were confused. Just what happened? What was considered inappropriate behavior but not criminal? The answers all existed on the videotape. We got a copy of it and shared it with all of you so you could make up your own mind as to whether justice was served.
If you find it offensive, I'm sorry…but we will always strive to give you as much information as we can in any situation. You have the power to determine whether you want to watch it or not.

Bernese Oberland is an unbelievably beautiful region of Switzerland, where snow capped peaks, lush green valleys and the crisp, clear air will make you fall in love with the region before you even reach the front door of your Bernese Oberland chalet. It is impossible to describe the staggering beauty of Bernese Oberland in words, but the reaction of holiday makers when they first arrive says it all!
Bernese Oberland, Switzerland is a walking paradise. The pure natural beauty of the area and the limitless trails through deep forests, stunning glaciers and along the beautiful shores of Lake Thun mean walking holidays to Bernese Oberland are never forgotten.
Aside from offering the finest walking to be found probably anywhere in Europe, Bernese Oberland offers windsurfing, sailing and scuba diving in the crystal clear, crisp waters of Lake Thun. Of course, there is no shortage of challenging terrain for mountain climbers, rock climbers, mountaineers, horse riding and golfers. Taking a Bernese Oberland chalet is also a great idea for those looking to get their adrenaline flowing. Zorbing, wake boarding, bungee jumping and ice climbing are prevalent in the area too. As I am sure I have already mentioned, Bernese Oberland is a beautifully natural region, and it has been protected with the creation of many national parks and botanical gardens.
Ideally situated in the centre of the region, Interlaken sits between Lake Thun and Lake Brienz, which makes it a perfect place to explore the region on foot. The triple peaks of Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau are no distance from Interlaken, and can be explored by walking, hiking or for the extremely fit, mountain biking. The unrivalled views from the numerous viewpoints on Eiger, Monch and Jungfrau are not only accessible to those who love to walk, as there is a cable car which climbs into the mountains, although a head for heights is essential!
There are a great number of beautiful, traditional Swiss villages in the region, which all act as magnificent centres for hiking and walking in the summer and skiing in the winter. The network of cable cars originating from Grindelwald leads to a range of short, long and multi-day walks throughout Switzerland, many of which are still suitable to enjoy during the winter.
Brienzersee is a great base for walking in Bernese Oberland. Holiday accommodation by the lake side in Brienzersee is nothing less than idyllic, and a great option when you first arrive at your Bernese Oberland chalet here is to take a trip on the paddle streamer which majestically crosses the Lake.
Switzerland's long, warm summers are ideal for walking in Bernese Oberland, soaking in the atmosphere and scenery, as average temperatures reach 25˚C, cool enough to leave the highest peaks with a dusting of snow, but warm enough to make the turquoise waters of Lake Thun pleasantly refreshing. Winters are of course cold, as the skiing, especially off-piste comes the main attraction drawing visitors to the self catering chalets of Bernese Oberland.
The highest train station in Europe, Jungfraujoch, connects the Bernese Oberland to both Zurich (ZRH) and Geneva Airports (GVA). Cheap flights are available on a regular basis to both of these airports. Berne Belp (BRN) is the closest airport to the self catering accommodation in Bernese Oberland, but cheap flights direct from the UK to Berne are slightly harder to find.

People need to stop calling risotto made with orzo "orzotto", because the Italians already make "orzotto" out of barley (orzo gets its name from looking like barley). Greeks call orzo kritharaki or manestra - I kind of like the sound of "kritharotto". Anyone?

CLEVELAND (AP) - A Cleveland children's hospital has received the largest single gift in its history: $17 million from a local couple who lost a 14-year-old daughter to melanoma nearly 30 years ago.
The donation from Char and Chuck Fowler will create a special cancer facility at University Hospitals Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital.
The hospital said Tuesday that the Angie Fowler Child & Young Adult Cancer Institute will offer outpatient and inpatient services and include a rooftop garden.
Char Fowler says in a statement that she and her husband wanted to see a treatment center that surrounds teens and young adults with an atmosphere suited to their unique needs. She says back when their teenage daughter was treated, the facilities were geared either toward very young pediatric patients or adults.

Independent RP for an Original Character in a Multiverse Elizabeth Catherine Wellesley The Duchess…
As this is a secondary blog and has proven to be remarkably difficult, I have decided to move my rp to another, separate email. Nothing has changed except for the fact that perhaps things will be more organised. I hope all my followers will forgive me the enormous inconvenience and consent to continue to follow me, except on this new tumblr.
The blog is empty right now, but I'll amend that and things will get back to normal. No, things will be better then normal because I will start to rattle out replies and starters quicker then before. Thank you so much for your patience, you guys have been absolutely fantastic and I really don't deserve it.
I welcome new followers as well! I am very excited because I hope this will make things much easier for us to rp without you being utterly bewildered when I follow you.
Hello everyone! I know I've posted this quite a few times before, but I feel I ought to keep doing so in order to avoid any confusion. My roleplay blog is a secondary blog, so I cannot follow anyone on it. If you do get followed by me, and you're a rp blog, then this is the explanation.
AnonymousThe Duke of Wellington has passed away.
For a moment she gazes at the grey face in silence. The ornate clock on the mantle ticks away, the only sound in the drawing room. She searches the unfeeling face for something that would prove this was all some misunderstanding, that it wasn't so, but found there was nothing there.
"When? how?"
Her voice was weak as she vainly sought for some explanation. The truth was, the words had yet to truly mean something to her. She could not quite believe this was happening. She paced away from the messenger and wrapped her arms around her body as he explained what had happened. As the situation grew more clear, her hopes began to fall and as the explanation went on, she began to shake her head in denial.
"But Napoleon is defeated. The war is over. He cannot be gone. That isn't possible."
She turned away and moved to the window, and though she could not see anything from where she was in Brussels, she could hear. The sounds of the cannons had stopped hours ago, and the army was on the march home. It had been a victory.
Her hands and forehead pressed against the panes of the glass as her body began to shake. She heard the final apologies as the messenger shut the door behind him, but paid them little heed. Tears pricked at the corner of her eyes but she grit her teeth against the rising panic. Her eyes strained to catch some sight of a returning army but found nothing.
"You gave me your word. Don't do this to me. Don't leave me now."
An idea struck her and she turned away from the glass, hurrying over to the door and yanking it open. She called for a servant, her voice leaving no room for argument and she was quickly attended to.
"Ready my horse. Now. I will be down momentarily."
She would ride to Waterloo herself and confirm the truth of this.
GOD yes. Even better if it's kinky gore, like really rough sex or just really enjoying the violence or whatever. Just, ugh, yes please~
I'm not crazy, I swear!

You don't pay for tutoring
unless you find a good fit!

My teaching motto:
There are no stupid questions. You can achieve anything you set your mind to. Practice makes perfect.
About me:
My first tutoring job was offered by my counselor when I graduated from high school. I worked as a tutor at a community college, where I was tutoring my fellow classmates and students with chemistry (General Chemistry I & II, Analytical Chemistry, Organic Chemistry I & II and Inorganic chemistry I & II) as well as mathematics (Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus I and II). I tutor students of many ages, from the elementary level studying mathematics and science,to the college level of mathematics and science majors. My favorite subjects are mathematics and chemistry, at any level.
My specialty is one-on-one tutoring and group tutoring. My tutoring style has been described as patient, passionate, dedicated, and friendly. My students think of me as a friendly person, as I maintain that relationship so that it is easiest for them to ask me any questions without any hesitation as well as understand the material in a much more comfortable environment. I believe that nothing is hard to learn in education if it's done step by step and taught in a manner for the students to comprehend and apply to their daily lives.
Tutoring is one of the avenues that satisfies my desire to increase interest in the subjects I teach, and to allow students to get more out of their education. I spend most of my free time with friends and family and sometimes I take my niece and her friends for picnic.
I love playing chess.
It's been 6 years that I have been tutoring for algebra. I know all tricks and tips about teaching algebra since I learned it in India as well as in USA.
Basically, I start from current topics and decide weather they are missing some basic information or not by asking simple questions. If they are missing I go all the way back where it stared and fill in the gaps so math won't be magical and start making sense for the students.
I got my algebra II teacher's recommendation. Algebra has always been piece of cake for me. Try me and it may become a piece of cake for you.
I have tutored lots of students in chemistry. All of my students have increased their grades at least by two letter grades, if they follow my lesson plan.
One of my high school student's grades jumped from F to A by the end of the semester.
I have been tutoring geometry since 2008.
I had studied Hindi in India for six years. I have just completed a Hindi class at University of Houston with letter grade A. I can fluently read, speak and write in Hindi.
I have earned my B.S. in Chemistry with Mathematics minor from University of Houston, where I passed Linear algebra (2000 level) and Advanced Linear Algebra (4000 level) classes with the letter grade of A. Currently, I am tutoring my brother in Advance linear Algebra.
I have received my B.S. in chemistry from University of Houston. I have received letter grade of A in both Organic chemistry I&II. While I was taking the class, I was tutoring my friends, which helped me gain confidence in the subject. I have also done some paid organic chemistry tutoring. I am currently helping one student in Organic chemistry II at UH.
It is very important to be master at prealgebra because this subject is root of math tree and all other maths and even some science such as chemistry, physics, etc are branches of that tree.
PreCalculus is a bridge between algebra and calculus and thus it is important to understand than memorizing. My goal of tutoring is to make my students passionate about the subject and help them learn how to study independently.
I took trigonometry in community college and passed the class with letter grade A. It is a very easy subject you just need to know study tips.

Very Thorough! — My daughter who is a sophomore has been having a tough time with Chemistry so we found Palak a few weeks before her mid-term. It was great for me to see my daughter's eye start to light up when Palak was able to help her begin to finally understand the concepts. We are excited about having Palak as a resource as we enter into this second semester! ...

Please help Liberal arts degree w/ an interest in physics
View Single Post
Sep7-10, 03:55 PM
Thanks G01!
As I said in my most recent post I realize that to base a career switch on a history of physics course would be a deep mistake. I took a calc course in college and received a B-. I was quite young then (started college in high school) and now years later (not to sound naive) but my mind seems to have developed into an ability of organizing data/systems, application of logic, etc. When I go back into my textbooks on differential equations for example I understand things in much deeper way that I didn't before.
That said, I'm more than willing to put in the work starting from the beginning if:
1. I am passionate about physics (which I believe I am)
2. I could be at least 'somewhat' successful in society. The reason I say somewhat is that I'm more interested in the insights,
the journey of exploring the universe(s) that physics could give me rather than collecting awards for my work.
#2 brings me to a point I touched in my recent post but perhaps I need to make clearer. I'm curious as to whether computational skills in physics (working out algebraic problems, etc) is not so much as important as an ability to conceptualize physical phenomena or what equations can actually produce. Algebraically solving equations is not my strong suit but with things such as differential geometry, topology, tensor field analysis etc. where I can conceptualize how the equations are working within a given space it becomes easier. Is it possible that physicists can have difficulty computing equations but not with the actual idea itself (Thus using math, however difficult, as the summation of that idea)?

You'd think the shiftless, boozing wastrel Dudley Moore played so memorably back in 1981 would fit Russell Brand as snugly as a pair of leather trousers.
So charmless, alas, is his debauched millionaire playboy that you'd happily see him run over by his personal Batmobile or crushed beneath his electromagnetic hover-bed.
Helen Mirren gives good Gielgud as his sharp-tongued nanny while Greta Gerwig gamely attempts to give Jason Winer's bland comedy a sliver of mumblecore cool.
Yet they're merely papering over the cracks in a film wholly reliant on a likeable lead – something man-child Brand proves woefully incapable of supplying this time round.

Well, the exhibition is now officially open and we had a great first night. Our stickers seem to be a hit, with adults and kids alike.
One thing we are doing on our stand is encouraging people to suggest a different name for the European Extremely Large Telescope. Although a couple of people have said to me that they really like the name (not much chance of getting confused about what it is!) we've also had some fantastic suggestions. Some of the most interesting ones we've had so far include:
- The Big One
- Alfiola
- XXeLt
- Polifemo
- Oculus Maximus
We also had one young man suggest a motto for the telescope which was 'Per Aspera ad Astra' meaning 'Through Hardship to the Stars'.
Melvin Bragg visited the exhibition tonight and watched our E-ELT inspired dance video - he seemed to quite like it!
'Bigger is better' for researchers and engineers from three UK institutions who are helping to develop the world's largest ground-based telescope to dramatically improve our view of the Universe.
For 400 years scientists have built ever-bigger telescopes to study space. The European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT) will be a ground-based optical/infra-red telescope with a 42m diameter mirror larger than all the current ground-based telescopes combined. This huge mirror will be built from 984 hexagonal segments. It will use Adaptive Optics to compensate for blurring of images caused by the Earth's atmosphere, capturing images up to 10 times sharper than the Hubble Space Telescope. The giant telescope will allow us to study Earth-like planets orbiting stars outside our solar system.
"The E-ELT will revolutionise astronomy, allowing us to study the Universe in great detail, from planetary systems around nearby stars, to the most distant galaxies formed when the Universe was only a tenth of its current age," says Professor Colin Cunningham from The UK Astronomy Technology Centre of the Science and Technology Facilities Council.
Visitors to the exhibit will view a 3D video of the huge telescope, see how adaptive optics sharpen the twinkling image of distant stars and galaxies, and find out how to get involved in the "Get the Hex" campaign.

When you get an email calling an artist a 'hillbilly savant', you click the link, m'kay? This is the work of one Daniel Trudeau, Northern Californian. While I can't verify what the hell that even means, one thing is true - this kid knows how to write a jam. Beautiful.
Pick up his newest full length release Regional Music from Life's Blood Records. You're going to want this - 500 copies of "big bird marbled yellow" vinyl. Something tells me it'll be a collectable.
In response to an ad i found.
"I came across your ad on craigslist, and i think i'd like to be your weekend DJ. In fact, i might be just the man you need.
You see, I've spent most of my adult life involved, somehow, in music. I'm pretty sure everyone i know, back home in Sacramento and the foothills surrounding, is a musician. I've lived with musicians for years, hosted shows, DJ'd at coffee house dance parties and, of course, informally at gatherings and on jukeboxes. I tend to dominate the stereo wherever I go; it actually gets to be a problem if I'm at, say, a party full of strangers. For some reason unknown to me, that tends to be viewed as inappropriate. But: in a context like the one you're offering, I think my passion and dedication to providing the perfect audio accompaniment to human joy and congregation will be perfectly suited.
I also have absolutely exquisite taste in music. Multifaceted, genre-independent, I can select the premier playlist for any crowd, any situation. Even when the tools at my disposal include little more than a stack of burned CDs from the 1990s. I can find hidden gems, believe you me. I can read a crowd well enough to determine if a B-Side or other deep album cut is the right thing to play, or if i should stick to standards.
Did i mention my impeccable, omniversal taste in music? I can bring my own, tailored to your specific needs, OR I can produce a masterful bricolage of only the elements you have lying around. It's really quite a talent.
I'm also very tall. If you find you're having a little trouble with one of your patrons but don't want to have to insult him or rough him up, call me in. The Intimidator. I can't fight to save my life, but i tower over most offenders. I'm not sure who you cater to, who exactly your clientele tends to be, but i'm willing to bet that I've got at least three inches on most all of your regulars.
Additional interests of mine include corndogs, drinking domestic beer from plastic cups, and losing quarters in the Skill Crane. Furthermore, I was on a bowling league when i was a small boy; though we were children, we never once stooped to using Bumpers. I'm a very serious man.
I thank you in advance for your careful and measured consideration of Me as a candidate for your Dee Jay position. I trust you'll make the right decision.
