Bhais and bons our beloved, people people, Cricket Guru bangladesh "sylheti" sy has mentioned his life long desire and childhood ambition to open up BD-Ind match thread. I urge you to make his wishes come true. Please.
The guy you hit? If he got a look at the plates, it won't even take that long. There's no play here. There's no angle, there's no champagne room. I'm not a miracle worker, I'm a janitor. The math on this is simple; the smaller the mess, the easier it is for me to clean up.

Kinivo M2 Bluetooth Speaker System
It used to be that computer speakers were simple things, plugging right into the back of your Mac to play your favorite tunes. Now though, we're seeing many units with enhanced feature sets. Take Kinivo's M2 Bluetooth Speaker System ($120). Not only are there two satellites and a subwoofer, but Bluetooth and NFC capabilities are built in, too.
Of course, while M2 does support wireless streaming, it can also connect to the audio port on any Mac. It's a 56W system, which should be able to fill an average-sized office with sound. We like the look of the large brass dial that controls the volume, and the matching accents on the satellites.

Madame Tussauds plans to remodel its future
Monday 07 September 2009
The owner of Madame Tussauds, Merlin Entertainments Group, is believed to be in final preparations for a £2bn London Stock Exchange listing early next year.
Such a substantial offer of shares could see the firm instantly projected into the FTSE 100.
Merlin is currently owned by the US-based private equity group Blackstone.
The investment banks Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan Cazenove, Citi, Merrill Lynch, Deutsche and BNP Paribas have all been involved over the last few months in a bid to be advisers to the projected flotation.
In July, Merlin's chief executive, Nick Varney, said: "If a flotation is going to happen, then the markets have to be open – and at the moment they're not." He added: "Merlin would be a very strong and popular listing but I can't say at the moment if we're going to float."
The recent stock market rally has made Merlin and Blackstone think about bringing forward the tentative plans for listing early next year.
Merlin was originally known as Vardon Attractions, which owned the Sea Life Centres, and has expanded to become the world's second biggest entertainment group after Disney. Warwick Castle, Legoland and the London Eye are among the other attractions to have become part of Merlin.
There are suggestions that Blackstone could include Center Parcs, the resorts group acquired in 2006, in the Merlin listing.

Fans meet V8 drivers in Benalla
Fans from across Victoria raced to Benalla last week to meet their favourite V8 Supercar drivers ahead of the weekend's racing at Winton.MONIQUE FREER April 11, 2014 8:58am
Fans from across Victoria raced to Benalla's Drill Hall on Thursday night to meet their favourite V8 Supercar drivers ahead of the weekend's racing at Winton.
Some of the world's best drivers met fans of all ages, signed merchandise and posed for photographs before they competed in rounds seven to nine of the V8 Supercars Championship Series from Friday to Sunday.
Tanya Cannon and her six-year-old son Russell Finlay made the journey from Lake Rowan for the public appearance and signings, bringing with them a teddy bear covered with signatures.
''He was given to me by a girlfriend of mine that passed away and I've had him for the past 20 years,'' Ms Cannon said.
''I reckon he's got everybody's signature on him now.''
Ms Cannon said having the V8 Supercar Series in regional Victoria made it more accessible for locals.
''I would never go if it was too far away, but being at Winton it's easy travel,'' she said.
''I've been going for the last five years. I love the thrill, and the spills.''
Geoff Sillett travelled from Gembrook for the event, and made a special Jamie Whincup poster that he had signed by the Red Bull Racing Australia driver.
''I've been staying overnight for the last four years, I just love it,'' Mr Sillett said.
''I've been collecting autographs of the V8s (driver) for 40 years.''
Australian motorsport legend and Red Bull Racing driver Craig Lowndes said the races at Winton always attracted a large crowd.
''We go to Phillip Island — and Phillip Island's a completely different style of track, but you struggle to get a crowd. We come here and get a really warm reception, it's fantastic to see all the locals come out and support what hopefully is one of the biggest events happening around here,'' Mr Lowndes said.
''History here has been a little bit up and down but it's a track that I know really well.''
Erebus Motorsport driver Will Davison said returning to Winton Motor Raceway was important in maintaining the sport's history.
''Winton is really one of the true places of Australian motor racing, it's rural Victoria and it's (got) so much history,'' he said.
''I've come here many, many times and obviously raced here in the V8s since 2006. It's different to some places we go but it certainly has its challenges, it's very tight and twisty.
''I sum it up by saying that it rewards a good car set-up and punishes a bad one.''

Also at 35. There are some here that are over 40 weeks in. Some end of June orders just got shipped last week so who the hell knows. I'm guessing maybe there was a massive influx of orders in end of June/early July with the closure announcement, then a taper off through August and after. So wait times might stabilize or reduce at 40 or so.

By Patricia Zengerle WASHINGTON, Jan 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. Congress' new spending bill would restore more than $1.5 billion in military and economic aid to Egypt, which had been largely cut off after Egypt's military ousted President Mohamed Mursi last summer. The bill includes up to $1.3 billion in military assistance, and $250 million in economic support for Cairo, but ties the funding to the Egyptian government taking steps toward restoring democracy. The funds also would only be available if the U.S. Secretary of State certifies to congressional appropriations committees that the Cairo government is sustaining its strategic relationship with the United States and meeting its obligations under the 1979 Egypt-Israel peace treaty. The restoration of aid to Egypt could set a precedent for assistance to any country after a coup, despite differences of opinion between Mursi's supporters and Egypt's current government over what to call the military takeover. Supporters had argued that restoring the funding, but subjecting it to conditions, struck an appropriate balance between pushing Cairo to embrace democratic reforms and continuing the U.S. commitment to Egypt. "If the military continues its repressive tactics, arresting democracy activists and does not hold free and fair elections, the certifications will not be possible and U.S. aid will be cut off," Senator Patrick Leahy, chairman of the Senate subcommittee responsible for the aid, said in a speech on the chamber floor on Tuesday. COUP - OR NOT? President Barack Obama's administration announced on Oct. 9 - after authorities in Cairo used violence to put down protests - that it would withhold deliveries of tanks, fighter aircraft and other military equipment, as well as $250 million in cash aid, from Egypt's military-backed government until it made progress on democracy and human rights. The administration held off, however, from officially declaring events in Egypt a coup. The actions prompted many lawmakers to call for a change in U.S. policy, worried that Washington was threatening its close relationship with a country that has been an important ally in an unstable region. The restoration of aid has already prompted criticism. The Washington Post said in an editorial on Tuesday that Egypt's "bogus" democracy does not deserve U.S. aid, saying that certifications that Egypt is restoring democracy cannot be honestly made. "Nor would they be wise: The military's repressive methods cannot stabilize Egypt, much less address its severe economic and social problems," the newspaper wrote. Leahy and other leaders of the Senate and House of Representatives appropriations subcommittees responsible for the aid authorization said it imposes stricter conditions on Cairo than the Obama administration had asked for or were included in proposed legislation in the U.S. Senate. Backers of Mursi, Egypt's first freely elected president, say his removal was a coup, reversing the gains of a popular uprising that toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak in 2011. The army rejects allegations from Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood that it deposed Mursi in a coup and says it was responding to the will of the people.

School of Hard Knocks
A few years ago, while recovering from surgery, Kelley Oliphint saw the light--if not the stars--about how technology can best serve patients. Navigating his small hospital room, Oliphint banged his head on the protruding television monitor. Oliphint promptly put the lesson learned to work at St. Mark's Medical Center, a 49-staffed-bed facility in LaGrange, TX, where he serves as president and chief executive officer.
When the rural hospital opened its doors in the summer of 2005, traditional big-box television screens were absent from patient rooms. Instead, the new facility opted for sleeker, flat-panel monitors. "We tried to make the rooms friendly for the patients," Oliphint says. "We didn't want televisions that stuck out two feet."
St. Mark's has embraced technology in other ways as well. In an effort to keep patients from gravitating to hospitals in Austin some 50 miles to the north, the rural hospital incorporated high-end imaging equipment into its service line. St. Mark's now sports a 64-slice CT, a rarity in the rural setting, and also added a 1.5T MRI unit. Rather than transport outdated equipment from its now-shuttered predecessor hospital, St. Mark's opted for as much of the latest and greatest technology it could afford for the new $26.5 million facility.
"We wanted brand new technology, and the best technology, so patients would not go elsewhere," Oliphint says.But this journey hasn't been easy for an independent rural hospital like St. Mark's, which doesn't enjoy the resources of larger urban facilities. "Large hospital systems can put technology in every facility," Oliphint says. "It's harder to implement here. We don't have 100 people working in IT."
More precisely, St. Mark's IT crew is 2.5 full-time equivalents.But what the hospital lacks in resources, it makes up for in spunk. Patients who go there can piggyback on the hospital's wireless network and use their portable computers--now there's a concept! And then there are those flat-panel TVs. T
hey may not seem like much, but patients remember little touches of customer service like that. And at St. Mark's, they are indeed remembering: After taking the plunge with the new technology, Oliphint reports, the hospital has seen a substantial up-tick in business.

Tiny lives safer in separate baby bed
Relevant offers
The Nelson Marlborough District Health Board wants parents to know that making sure their babies are sleeping in a safe place is just as important as putting them in car seats before travelling.
Today is Safe Sleep Awareness Day, which aims to help people prevent the risk of Sudden Unexpected Death in Infancy (SUDI) by making sure their babies are sleeping safely.
Operations manager assistant director of midwifery Debbie Fisher said it could be easy to think babies were always safe when they were asleep because they looked so peaceful, but it was worth moving them to their own bed as they were safer there.
A board spokesperson said New Zealand had the highest rate of SUDI in the OECD, with between 50 and 70 deaths each year.
Paediatrician and child and youth mortality review committee chair Dr Nick Baker said sharing beds was a common practice for many families, but it was safer for babies to have their own place to sleep. The NMDHB quoted research showing that 86 per cent of deaths due to unintentional suffocation occurred when the baby was not in their own baby bed.
"We understand that a lot of families want to be close to their babies, want to hold them and protect them, for some it is simply done because the house is too cold and baby may be warmer next to parents," said Dr Baker. "But bed sharing with baby is increasingly recognised as dangerous for our pepi [babies]."
He said having their own sleeping space to protect babies from SUDI was especially important if the baby had been exposed to smoking during pregnancy, as smoke exposure reduced the baby's "drive to breathe".
Their airways were easily compromised during bedsharing, rolling on their tummies from a side position or from being smothered by bedding or wedged as he said they did not fight to live as well as other babies.
The most important things you can do to protect your baby while they sleep are: P. Position. Place the baby flat on his or her back to sleep, face up. E. Eliminate smoking. Do not smoke while pregnant and protect your baby with a smoke-free family environment, house and car. P. Place. Put the baby in his or her own baby bed with their face clear of bedding. E. Encourage and support the baby's mother so that the baby is breastfed.

'American Idol' Season 10: Katharine McPhee's Mom is a Vocal Coach
'Idol' exec producer Nigel Lythgoe reveals that the season 5 runner-up's mother Peisha is coaching this year's contestants.
A conference call with American Idol executive producer Nigel Lythgoe revealed that Peisha McPhee, mother to season 5's Katharine McPhee, is one of several vocal coaches working with this year's contestants. "She's on the show, and very, very talented," said Lythgoe.
Katharine McPhee, a native of Sherman Oaks, Calif., has often credited her mom with teaching her music's great standards. "I grew up with the American songbook," she said in a 2010 interview. "I know them so well because my mom was always singing those songs. If you look back to [my] season of Idol, I excelled in that area because the songs were so ingrained in me."
To that end, Season 10 hopefuls who wind up with McPhee as their coach should feel fortunate. Peisha McPhee trained her own daughter, who eventually made it to second place on Idol in 2006.

OPINION: Reddit calls itself the "front page of the internet" and is immensely popular. In recent months, it has hosted some high-profile AMA (Ask Me Anything) posts by the likes of United States President Barack Obama and Bill Gates.
Reddit's genius is its content rating system.
When someone posts a message, link or image, others can either "upvote" - giving it a point, or "downvote" - deducting a point.
Good content should, in theory at least, score well, while bad or poor content will become essentially invisible. If you post something that people like, you also get points, which works as a kind of reputation system.
Reddit isn't one single community. Instead, it's made up of lots of communities, called subreddits. All subreddits are found by adding /r/[name] to the end of reddit.com. So AMAs are found at reddit.com/r/iama.
Technology addicts might gather at /r/technology, while foodies could head to /r/food.
To upvote or downvote, you need a Reddit account, which you can create by clicking on the "login or register" button in the top right corner at reddit.com. You need only a username, email address and password to sign up.
A Reddit account also lets you post comments on any post, though you can just use Reddit to view posts and avoid the comments altogether if you prefer. By default, your Reddit front page starts with a subset of all the possible communities.
You'll get /r/aww (which is pictures of cute critters), /r/politics and about a dozen others.
You can alter what you see on your front page by clicking Edit in the top right-hand corner, and then adding or removing communities. This can be a bit daunting, but an easier way to add communities is using the search box on the right-hand side. Just type in something that interests you, such as "Wellington", to locate subreddits of interest. You can then view the community, and click Subscribe on the right-hand side to add it to your front page.
There's more to Reddit, but that should get you started.
2013 is the year when the tablet takes over from the PC, and you can see just how rapidly the PC world is changing by looking at last week's reports and news statements.
According to research from Canalys, Apple sold nearly 23 million iPads, as well as just over 4m Mac laptop and desktops, in the last three months of 2012. Compare that with HP, which sold 15m PCs in that period. Nearly a third of all PCs sold are tablets, and at PC World, most laptops we've seen in the past few months have been hybrids, either having tablet-like features such as touchscreens and swivelling or sliding keyboards, or having a keyboard that can be removed entirely.
Chinese manufacturer Huawei is now the third-highest-selling smartphone manufacturer behind Samsung and Apple. Huawei has only a few handsets in New Zealand, such as the excellent and affordable Ascend G600. Also in the top five is ZTE, which produces phones that are usually rebadged by other manufacturers, such as Vodafone here in New Zealand.
In PCs and tablets, Lenovo is now worldwide No 5, taking over the top five spot from Sony. Lenovo sells most of its products in China, and in New Zealand releases just a few solidly built business models that have excellent keyboards. Having said that, Lenovo may be launching consumer models here in the not too distant future, and at PC World we've seen the likes of the Thinkpad X1 Carbon offer great performance for both consumers and business buyers.

1. "What happened to the Jews in the Holocaust is the most heinous crime known by mankind in modern times." — Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, quoted Sunday by the Palestinian government news service, WAFA, before the beginning of Israel's annual Holocaust Remembrance Day. This was the strongest statement about the Holocaust from a Palestinian leader; Holocaust denialism is not uncommon in the Arab world, and many Palestinians especially are reluctant to acknowledge the historical suffering of Europe's Jews out of concern it will harm their negotiating position.
2. "President Abbas can't have it both ways. He can't say the Holocaust was terrible, but at the same time embrace those who deny the Holocaust and seek to perpetrate another destruction of the Jewish people." — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to CNN, on Sunday, referring to Abbas' efforts to form a unity government with rival faction Hamas.
3. "A two-state solution will be clearly underscored as the only real alternative. Because a unitary state winds up either being an apartheid state with second class citizens — or it ends up being a state that destroys the capacity of Israel to be a Jewish state.... The reports of the demise of the peace process have consistently been misunderstood and misreported. And even we are now getting to the moment of obvious confrontation and hiatus, but I would far from declare it dead." — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, to world leaders at the Trilateral Commission, on Friday, in leaked audio obtained by The Daily Beast. The reference to "apartheid" rankled Israeli advocacy groups in the U.S., The Daily Beast's Josh Rogin reports, "and it could attract unwanted attention in Israel, as well."- -

I think this year has been very bad for pollinating insects. I have many friends whose apple and pear crops are nil because the blossom was frosted and we've all noticed fewer insects about, probably from lack of food earlier in the season and then too much cold and wet in spring and early summer.
There's always next year. Gardeners have to be optimists.
I seem to remember reading somewher that cornus kousa is not self fertile so you may get better fruit production of you can grow another one nearby. If you haven't the space, then settle for what you get as the fruits are not edible and the foliage and flowering bracts are the main attraction of these plants.
They are also insect pollinated so try growing other plants with nectar rich flowers to attract them.
I don't think healthy plants need extra help aprt from maybe some Rootgrow at planting time. This is a newish product which supposedly helps roots form sybiotic relationships with bacteria in the soil and this leads to improved root function and thus a healthier plant.
Look here for all you need to know about Gleditsia. Sunburst seems to be the one for your requirements - http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=884
The last two weeks here have been quite dry and my robinia is looking much better with fuller leaves so I will give it one more year and see how it goes but it's for the chop if we get another bad winter and another bad summer and it carries on looking tatty and sick.
I thought about beekeeping but was put off by the investment needed just for protective gear and a decent hive. We don't eat much honey either so I'd have the bother of selling it. I do, however, have several species of wild bee in the garden and that'll do for me.
I do like to have honey for cooking and occasional crumpets though. Chestnut honey bought on hols a couple of years ago was really tasty. This year I bought a pot of local Charente spring honey - really pale and delicate from all the wild flowers - and a pot of sunflower honey which is so yellow I thought it was lemon curd. Haven't tried it yet.
I rest my case. Plainleaf is Grid the Gardener amongst many other ids.
Roses deplete all the goodness out of the soil so just planting new ones can lead to rose sickness. If you want to replant in the same place you need to remove all the old soil and replace it with new.
Dig a hole at least 60cm/2' deep and wide and fill with new soil then plant your new roses with the graft join one to two inches below soil level.
Go with the flow and choose bulbs to suit your soil - plenty of daffs and alliums will cope with clay soil,especially if you can work in plenty of compost and/or well rotted manure and some grit to open up the soil.
Grow tulips in pots - either plastic ones you can sink in the beds in spring or terracotta or glazed pots that you can move about as features. Give them good quality compost and keep them sheltered and frost free through winter then bring them out into the light in spring.
Good luck. They're both lovely clems so are worth trying to save.
Give them a good drink and a tonic of liquid tomato food or seaweed now so their roots get plumped up and healthy as these are the plants' engines. Keep them watered and fed till late September when you can plant them out in the garden.
Make sure you dig a good deep hole, twice or three times as deep and wide a syou think they need. Return the soil after improving it with well rotted manure, good garden compost or bought soil conditioner and some bonemeal worked into the soil. Make sur ethe roots of the clematis are thoroughly wtared before transferring them from their pots to the ground and make sure they're buried at least 6" deeper than they were in their pots as this helps encourage new shoots. Water them in well but don't prune at this stage.
Ville de Lyon should be pruned back to about 9 to 12" high every spring in March. It will then produce new stems which flower in mid summer.The President is a bit trickier as it's a group 2 which generallly means it flowers on old wood between May and June. You then dead head, prune back any unwanted growth and feed it and it produces a second flush of flowers at the end of the summer. However it can be treated as a group 3 and pruned in spring like the Ville de Lyon. I would recommend this for next spring and then you can choose in subsequent springs when it's recovered and established itself.
Either way, feed both generously every March with clematis food plus a handful of pelleted chicken manure or blood fish and bone. Scatter organic slug pellets at the same time as slugs love new clematis growth. Keep them fed regularly till late June and make sure they don't dry out in droughts.
Aconitum are poisonous so not eaten by slugs. However, when grown in thick clumps, mine lose their lower leaves which I assume is due to lack of light.
I haven't tried the Chelsea chop on mine but you could experiment and do half of yours next year and see what happens. You should get smaller, later flowering stems. an alternative would be to provide support early in the season so they can grow up and cover it but not flop.

The 3dfx Linux Driver Has Hope & It's Getting TTM
Published on 15 July 2010 04:38 PM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
15 Comments
Yesterday we reported on the emergence of the
3Dfx Linux DRM/KMS driver
that introduces Linux kernel mode-setting support for the decade-old Banshee and Voodoo graphics cards. This work was done by a lone developer, but at this time it doesn't play well with the 3dfx X.Org DDX driver, which diminished hopes of it entering the mainline kernel. However, it appears there is interest in this driver and that the developer is now working on adding TTM memory management support for these 3dfx PCI/AGP graphics cards.
Following yesterday's news posting there was certainly
excited about this new driver for the vintage hardware and it even ended up being pulled into the kernel tree of Corbin Simpson (
), the Linux graphics developer largely known for his work on the ATI Gallium3D "R300g" driver.
"I've already pulled this patch into my kernel tree, and I'll be making it available for Dave to test and pull once I can get it working on my Banshee. It's very cool to see this kind of code coming from the community and helping to remove old code that we no longer want in favor of stronger, more maintainable code," said Corbin.
If David Airlie pulls this driver, as the maintainer of the mainline Linux DRM code it could then be pulled into a later release cycle of the mainline Linux kernel. First though it will likely need an updated 3dfx X.Org driver that is compatible with this kernel driver before it's pulled upstream. Though it could also be decided at
this year's X Developers' Summit
during the "Kill It With Fire" session to not worry about supporting this old hardware any longer that's only used by a limited number of Linux users.
At the same time, James Simmons who authored this 3dfx DRM driver is working to add TTM (Translation Table Maps) support to the driver for in-kernel memory management. Right now this driver "cheats" with its memory using
and some TTM hooks. There is an active
TTM discussion taking place
right now to work out the memory management problems.
Let's just hope it doesn't take a decade before we see a fully open-source DRM/KMS stack for Intel's outsourced graphics processors (as found with the Poulsbo, etc) that are currently
causing a big mess

"Ways to strength and beauty" is a 1925 movie. The action was an idealized, beautiful symphony to health and beauty in conformity with nature. You can see excerpts from dances such as those practiced in the community of Monte Verita.
[Wege zu Kraft und Schönheit] 1925
Directors Nicholas Kaufmann and Wilhelm Prager
Dance performance Dancers of Mary-Wigman-Schule
"Ways to strength and beauty" (German: Wege zu Kraft und Schönheit) is a 1925 Ufa-Kulturfilmabteilung of Weimar Germany directed by Nicholas Kaufmann and Wilhelm Prager.
The action was an idealized, beautiful symphony to health and beauty in conformity with nature. The film offered a contrast to the rather hopeless living in the city of Berlin and other large cities of Germany during the twenties and became an immediate success quite from the beginning. Finally it became the most popular and most important German kulturfilm of this period. The film is best known as the first film to feature Leni Riefenstahl as one of the nude dancers in a tasteful ballet
