Your Xmas repair kit: As Christmas leaves most of us feeling frazzled, a host of quick-fix beauty treatments are on hand to help you get your glow back instantly
By the time Christmas arrives, the endless shopping, catering and socialising has left most of us feeling frazzled.
Fear not: a host of quick-fix beauty treatments are on hand to help you get your glow back instantly.
With John Frieda's treatment you can wash hair 24 hours later, so you can have glossy locks immediately
The excitement surrounding the miraculous-sounding 'permanent blow dry' a couple of years ago faded swiftly when it was revealed many versions contained high levels of toxic formaldehyde.
But now they're back with the safety worries solved. John Frieda are leading the way with the launch of their formaldehyde-free K-Fusion, a smoothing treatment (it reduces frizz by 95 per cent) not a straightening procedure, making it perfect for those who like their hair tousled.
And unlike other treatments, where you have to leave the product in for three days, with this you can wash your hair 24 hours later, meaning you can have glossy locks immediately.
From £200. Available at John Frieda salons.
Bliss Spa offer a triple oxygen facial which tightens, brightens, exfoliates, revitalises and helps heal blemishes
If your skin is starting to show the effects of one too many late nights and those extra glasses of bubbly, book yourself in for one of Bliss Spa's triple oxygen facials (£150).
The treatment tightens, brightens, exfoliates, revitalises and helps heal any blemishes. It's a skin miracle worker, but don't go expecting relaxation.
This is one hard-working treatment - there's a fruit acid 'peel', followed by copious amounts of prodding and squeezing, before oxygenating creams are applied.
The facial ends when jets of pure oxygen are sprayed on to the skin. It's worth a little discomfort, however, because the next day your skin will be unrecognisable - in the best possible way.
If you can't get to a spa, the brand sells starter kits (£30) to use at home.
£150, blissworld.co.uk
Margaret Dabbs' medical pedicure absolves shoe sins with a combination of podiatry and cosmetic pedicure
Party shoes can be unkind to hard-working tootsies. High heels, hard leather and pointy toes not only cause blisters and aching feet, but can cause long-term damage to skin and nails.
Cosmetic surgeons have seen a 20 per cent rise in bookings for 'mini facelifts' and 'mini eyelid surgery' this month
Margaret Dabbs' medical pedicure absolves your shoe sins through a combination of podiatry and cosmetic pedicure. Sit back and relax while a specialist analyses your soles and rectifies any problems.
The key difference between a Margaret Dabbs pedicure and many others is that Margaret's treatments are done on dry feet, which is not only better for the foot but means the effects last longer.
The pedicure ends with the application of the brand's signature intensive foot moisturiser, containing emu oil (Intensive Hydrating Foot Lotion, £25).
£80, margaretdabbs.co.uk
Aveda's Caribbean Therapy salon body treatment uses sugar cane granules and avocado and passion fruit oils
Drying fake tans and flaunting bare legs in the cold both contribute to the itchy, scaly skin that plagues women in winter. Although it looks bad - and feels worse - flaky skin can be immediately rectified with a gentle scrub.
Aveda's Caribbean Therapy salon body treatment uses sugar cane granules mixed with avocado and passion fruit oils to exfoliate and slough off any rough patches.
The scrub is followed by a smoothing, detoxifying seaweed mask, body wrap and a scalp and face massage. If you have a willing partner to do your back, you could do the scrub part of this treatment at home (Caribbean Therapy Body Scrub, £29).
Caribbean Therapy Body Treatment, £91, aveda.co.uk.

We ordered this stroller online and it was delivered very quickly to our home, within a few days after ordering! :-) One of the reasons we ordered this stroller was because of the 2 parent cup holders. it only has one. Also the tray for the back passenger is more like a bar. You can't put snacks on it, and it has no place for a cup. The front seat felt a little bit flimsy, almost like it was cardboard covered with fabric. The tray in the front either has to be on or off. (it doesn't just fold over# My oldest is 22 months and likes to crawl in and out on his own, so either we have no tray #or cupholder) or would have to fight him crawling over the top of the tray. We have a single graco stroller from a couple of years ago and it seems like it was built with a lot better quality then this one. On a positive note. The colors look a lot better in person. We ended up returning the product so I can't say if it is durable or steers easily.
I have twins and I purchased this stroller for the neutral color and the price. My only complaints would be that when I take the infant carseat off of the front, the canopy comes off 9 out of 10 times and its annoying (it could just be a defect with mine idk). Another thing I don't like is that when I have a infant seat in the back (the seat must be fully reclined for it to fit) I am not able to get anything into or out of the bottom basket so it is useless for me right now. Some good things that I like about it are it is light weight, neutral color, and fairly easy to move.
I have to say after having my old used stroller this was definitely a nice change. its easy to guide with one hand has great space near handle for keys,phone ect. handle is at perfect level and it has lots of underneath storage space which is a huge plus. It is also super easy to fold up can do it with one hand. I am sure there are better strollers out there that have extra benefits and maybe have worked out the small issues this one has (have to take trays and one hood off to fold up nicely but you can leave them on if you want and if you don't its not that hard to take on and off just a bit of an extra hassle) but for the price I really couldn't be happier!!!
I purchased this for my Granddaughter she has a three week old and an 18 month old. She absolutely loves it. I bought Graco knowing it's reputation for quality product at a reasonable price. She uses it every day walking the babies while she takes her 5 year old to school and then walking back to meet her when school is out. She will be putting a lot of miles on this stroller :) She said it is so easy to handle wheels are perfect, smooth ride for sleeping baby. Another plus is the stroller folds so easily with one hand. Seats are exactly what she wanted the stadium seating easy to get babies in and out . A joy when going to stores. Extremely happy with this purchase. Thanks Walmart
My daughter loves this stroller that she uses for her 18month old and her new born. She is very happy with it and loves the look of it.
This stroller is amazing! It is perfect for twins. It drives nice and smooth. The kids aren't crunched and have plenty of leg room. The storage basket is huge and can carry just about anything. I wish I would've got this stroller instead of the babytrend double snap and go. This stroller is capable of taking 2 infant car seats. I would've saved some money. I would recommend this stroller to anyone.
light weight and has lots of storage. I love the fact that it can fit any Graco infant car set.
I ordered this for my newborn and 2 year old daughter to use. It is fantastic. It's not too heavy, opens and closes very easily, and has plenty of storage for all out stuff. The pattern is really great too, very nuetral but still pretty. I would highly recommend this anyone with 2 young children.
I love the fact that this folds up and fits in my SUV after removing the visor from the front. My space is about 41" and most double strollers are now 49" making it impossible to fit in the hatch. It closes and opens very easily. My only con is the harness is hard to press open but I'm hoping it's just because it's brand new.
Recently purchased this stroller for a newborn & 18-mo-old. Easy assembly....good quality....love the colors!
The only drawback, as another reviewer mentioned, is for it to fold completely flat, you have to remove the front canopy & tray. Overall, love the stroller!!!
I bought this stroller for my daughter after her second child was born. They are 17 mos apart so she needed a double. She drives one of those box cars so the back storage is very minimal but this stroller fit when folded up. It glides so smoothly I was amazed. When both kids are in it, the baby in the back with the seat folded down, it can be a little hard to store things under the stroller but otherwise we loved it!
When I found out I was pregnant with my second child I was really nervous about the idea of a double stroller since my daughter was barely a year old. However this stroller is incredible....not bulky like I figured at all...it rides smoothly and fits in my closet or under my bed. It wipes off easy and I'm really happy with it. Its easy to turn and maneuver in stores as well. Couldn't pick a better one!
I have to take off the front drink holder to fit in the trunk of my car but I love that the back lays down, and the front seat reclines also. My kids are 6 weeks and 16 months works great! Drink holder holds sippee, huge basket underneath, and parent drink holder.
I love this stroller! We recently bought it for our 1 1/2 year old and our newborn. They both love it! The baby goes right to sleep in the cozy little space created for him in his carseat with the sun shield closed. The window for parents to look in on baby is awesome. Our old stroller had one too, but this one is very large and easier to see baby without sining light in his eyes. Our toddler loves it too and says "weeee!" whenever we go for a ride. It handles smoothly and the cargo space is great. The only thing I would change would be to add a parent cup holder and make all cup holders a little bigger. Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase.
I bought this because I have a 17 month old and a one month old. It works wonders when we go out. Im a stay at home mom so I use it ALL the time. I have some issues getting it open and most of the time I cant figure it out. So usually my husband does it for me. But all in all its a great stroller.
i got this as a present for my daughter, and is loving it.
Don't know how I lived without it!! well made, sturdy, cleanable and soo cute!
We bought this for use with a newborn in a car seat and a 2 year old but the area where the car seat is supposed to go is awkward so that you're almost tipping the baby over when inserting the carseat and the front portion is pushed a little forward by the carseat so it looks uncomfortable. The material seems like plastic, I expected much more from this product for the price we paid
We love the stroller. The only cons are that the storage basket doesn't collapse and if the car seat is in the second seat it's basically impossible to get your bag in or out of the storage basket. Another con is having to remove the trays to close the stroller and have it fit in the trunk (Lexus sedan). But these are things we can deal with given the affordability.
Thus far we enjoy the stroller for taking our twin grandsons for walks. Appreciated the price compared to the ones in Canada. The clerks were exceptionally helpful and willing to answer questions upon purchase. We were unable to purchase the Wilshire car seats as they did not have a CSA sticker on them.

I suspect it must be something very simple but for the life of me I cannot figure out how from the below (which models a circuit of two resistors connected in parallel) $$i=v\left(\frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2}\right)$$ we get to the following $$v=i\frac{1}{(\frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2})}$$ I suspect we get an intermittent step of $$\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{i}\left(\frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2}\right)$$ but how do we flip it over to obtain just the final form?
As it turns out I can obtain the final form by dividing both sides of $$i=v(\frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2})$$ by $$(\frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2})$$ or alternatively if I start with dividing both sides by $v$ and then by $i$ and obtain $$\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{i}\left(\frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2}\right)$$ I can just flip the numerators and denominators since if I have $$\frac{1}{a}=\frac{1}{b}$$ if I reciprocate (or flip the numerator with the denominator on both sides) the equality still holds $$a=b$$ Either way I arrive at $$v=i\frac{1}{(\frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2})}$$ Seem a bit silly now for asking the question but thank you very much for all your help! :) Somehow couldn't see this on my own.

Best of luck. I hope he does very well at PItt.
Recruiting is a tough business
Well said Blu
I really hope they renew this series. Dont' like either team but enjoy this game.
Good luck to him. Hope he earns some good playing time at UC
Obviously I don't know the real story, but I can't help but wonder where is Ohio State going to come up with scholarships for the next couple classes.....?
Who had medical hardships and played elsewhere?
How does OSU having 87 players currently compare to other programs? Alabama, TTUN etc? Anyone know?
If Ohio State did this...the media and MgoBlog etc would go crazy.
I like to see the QB commit early and lead his class to recruit others.
how 'bout Ohio State or Texas
Excellent title!
That hire does have me scratching my head....I guess Auburn knows something?
Gonna have to see it to believe it. I think Haskins stays with his home team.
It will be interesting to see where he plays over the next couple years.
In his interest, he is a high draft choice and coming back does risk injury. Hard to say no to the NFL and the finances.
Agree. He has done this all year. He has too much talent to make plays like that.
Good point.
Wasn't there a recruit that did look elsewhere because he was interested in petroleum science?
I cannot understand how OSU isn't a good academic fit for Gary. Urban appears to have active programs for the players to get ready for life after football, the academics at OSU are outstanding, and what major doesn't OSU have available? Oh, and the alumni connections after graduation...I'm not sure how his mother can't see all that osu has to offer academically.
Does anyone know why Walker decommited from OSU?
Its gonna be tough for Ash. Its difficult to recruit for Rutgers especially when you are going against PSU, OSU, TTUN etc both on the field and off.
When he says aggressive, does he mean he coaches an aggressive defensive scheme?
Didn't his players dislike him at San Fran? I thought the talk was there when they were losing?
Reading over Lockley past looks pretty bad in regards to off the field behavior
You gotta like Tristen Wallace.
I'm curious why they are looking around now.

I have to say I am thankful I do not hear voices. At least, not like someone with schizophrenia whom report being screamed at, with very definable words and phrases. Often negatively based and paranoid.
I have wondered if they are just super psychics and are unable to balance their perception with their experiences in such a way that allows the individual to go forward.
Instead they often regress into panic, suicide, paranoia and isolation. Often unreasonable delusion that someone is 'out to get them'...
Seems the cure for that would be just not to care. Put it in the hands of fate and trust one is safe.
What else can one do?
To worry about said, is such a waste of time. Especially, being that these individuals are often incredibly bright and could utilize their Minds on more productive avenue of thought.
Telepathy is something different all together and can be learned if one is sensitive enough to spot it in the beginning.
will give you an example. My Nephew from one of my brothers is an epileptic and hears voices. He did not have these problems until his mother left him with another boyfriend of hers who abused him but did not come out until later in his life that that had transpired. Abuse fractures the mind and creates compartments as well as strongmen strong holds spiritually . This sort of abuse is exhibited in physical manifestations and abnormal behavior problems that don't seem to be resolved with counseling alone .
There is more to the story and he has gotten no help spiritually or otherwise and continues to replicate his abuse. This is a very real issue
Telepathy has to be scrutinized as well . some source may start out as benevolent to gain your trust then start demanding certain things. Lots of deep subjects .
Ok enough about this ..
subject change Aether
you choose please

The human-machine system behavior and performance are dynamic, nonlinear, and possibly chaotic. Various techniques have been used to describe such dynamic and nonlinear system characteristics. However, these techniques have rarely been able to accommodate the chaotic behavior of such a nonlinear system. Therefore, this study proposes the use of nonlinear dynamic system theory as one possible technique to account for the dynamic, nonlinear, and possibly chaotic human-machine system characteristics. It briefly describes some of the available nonlinear dynamic system techniques and illustrates how their application can explain various properties of the human-machine system. A pilot's heart interbeat interval (IBI) and altitude tracking error time series data are used in the illustration. Further, the possible applications of the theory in various domains of human factors for on-line assessment, short-term prediction, and control of human-machine system behavior and performance are discussed.

Read an Excerpt
Demon Sword
The Years Of Longdirk: 1519
By Dave Duncan
OPEN ROAD INTEGRATED MEDIACopyright © 1995 Dave Duncan
All rights reserved.
"Hey, bastard!"
The voice rang out in challenge from somewhere at Toby Strangerson's back. He did not look around. A defensive reflex made his right leg twitch, but he overruled it and brought his foot down firmly on the dirt. Without breaking stride, he continued his hurried walk along the road.
"I'm talking to you, bastard!"
It sounded like Vik Tanner. Women gossiping at their doors turned to see who was shouting, men stooped in their gardens straightened. Two youths up ahead were already looking this way, already grinning, standing with their feet apart and arms folded. So there was a rumble planned and they were in on it.
Having no choice, Toby kept on walking, wondering how many of them there would be. Didn't matter— there would be enough to do whatever they wanted to do. Then he recalled the warning Granny Nan had given him at dawn and his scalp prickled. This trouble had been prophesied.
"Oh, bastard? Can't you hear me, bastard?"
No question, that was Fat Vik Tanner yelling. The pair up ahead at the potter's house were Neal Bywood and Willie Bain, which meant Bryce Burnside and Rae Butcher would be involved as well, and perhaps two or three more he could call to mind with no effort. There were few young men left in the glen now.
The early morning wind was cruel, yet he was sweating. Granny Nan had kept nattering at him and getting in his way while he was doing the morning chores. So he'd had to run all the way to the castle, then right away Steward Bryce had sent him off back to Tyndrum. Again he had run most of the way, because he was expected to run when he was on the laird's business. Between the running and the weight of his plaid, he was sweating.
So what could a man do about it—explain? I'm sweating because I've been running so please don't think I'm afraid of being maimed.
"Bastard? Are you deaf, bastard?"
The wind didn't mask the hateful taunts. The normal sounds of the village seemed to, die away as people stopped work to listen—the click of the women's looms, metallic clinking from the smithy, the crack of a mason's hammer. Geese honked. A dog barked in the distance, shrill children chanted lessons in the schoolhouse, and a deep rumble of millstones told of flour being ground. Farther away yet, soldiers drilled outside the castle to a steady drumbeat.
"Bastard, I'm talking to you, bastard."
The voice was closer. Toby could hear stones rattle as his tormentors closed in behind him. They would time their approach to catch up with him as he reached Neal and Willie, closing the noose.
The street was part mud, part rock, part weeds—an uneven trail winding through the village. Vegetable patches were enclosed by low stone walls, and everything else was road or rock or pasture, where dogs sniffed, poultry foraged, tethered cows grazed. Tyndrum was less than a score of cottages straggled along the banks of the river: walls of rough fieldstone, roofs of sod, window slits closed by shutters. No one could tell where the village ended, for the cottages just spread out farther apart along the glen and up the hills until they blended into the scenery. There was nowhere to hide, and nowhere to run.
"Traitor! If you won't answer to bastard, bastard, will you answer to traitor?"
Vik was only a few paces back now, yelling so all Strath Fillan could hear. Toby was not afraid of Fat Vik. He was afraid of Vik plus four or five others. Granny Nan's warning echoed round and round in his head. She often acted strange these days, but this morning she had been stranger than ever.
She had come to him while he was milking Bossie. "Do not get into a fight!" She had repeated it over and over. "Evil comes to the glen. Terrible things will happen if you get into a fight today." Even as he'd fed the chickens and fetched water and chopped wood and done all the other usual morning chores, she'd been hobbling along behind him, waving her cane and talking about evil coming to the glen and how he must stay out of fights. Whatever she thought the hob had said, it had upset her greatly. She'd still been on about it when he ran off to report for work at the castle.
He hadn't paid much heed, for the idea of a fight today had seemed absurd. Next week at the Glen Games, yes. Then he would have to defend his title, if any man wanted to contest it. He had been thinking of an honest match, of course, man to man, which was not what Vik had in mind.
"Traitor, traitor! I'm talking to you, traitor. Sassenach bastard! Turn around, bastard!"
Snappy Fan Glenlochy stood at her door, yattering to big, blowzy Olga Potter. They had turned to stare disapprovingly at the drama, and he was going to pass right by them.
Without slowing his stride, Toby doffed his bonnet to the women. "Fine morning to you, ladies!"
They turned their backs and resumed their talk. His fast-moving feet took him past them and on toward Neal and Willie like a leaf in a stream.
"Fine mornings don't have bastards in them!" Vik crowed. "They don't have traitors in them. You're a Sassenach-loving traitor!"
It was a lie, but Toby Strangerson would dearly welcome a glimpse of an English uniform right now. He was within sight of the miller's house. He could see the cart outside, already loaded. That was where he was headed. He wasn't going to make it.
Neal and Willie unfolded their arms and sauntered across to block his path. Half the population of Tyndrum must be watching.
Terrible things will happen if you get into a fight today.
Fighting—not boxing. He was bareknuckle champion of the glen, but boxing was not what was planned. Terrible things sounded more like gouged eyes than just broken bones. He'd thought Granny Nan was having one of her strange turns when she'd started in about fighting this morning. He'd thought the hob didn't speak to her when she was strange, but perhaps this time she'd been normal until she learned whatever it had told her. Pity the hob hadn't explained how a man could avoid a fight when others insisted on it.
The pretense was over. There was no use trying a smile and a cheery greeting to Neal and Willie—not with the expressions they wore or the way they stood across his path. Toby marched straight at them and then made a quick feint to the right. They jumped to block him and he spun around in a swirl of plaid to confront Vik Tanner. As expected, he had Bryce and Rae with him, but he'd also brought Neal's brother, Colin. That was a sickening shock.
If it was just to be fists, Toby would take on any two of them and probably enjoy himself. All together they could certainly beat him, although he would do some damage. But it would not be only fists. There would be holding, and no time out when a man went down. There would be feet. There might even be blades, although the Sassenachs hanged any Highlander they caught wearing as much as a dirk.
Trash! Fat Vik was very nearly as tall as he was. His arms were thick and furry, but the meat on them was flab, not muscle. He looked dangerous on the outside and had nothing inside. Bryce and Rae were born followers, and still just gangly kids. Today they were two of six and could afford their excited, nervy smiles.
But Crazy Colin ... Colin was older; twenty or more. Colin was wrong in the head, the one who killed sheep at full moon. Even as a child, he'd been odd. He had gone off to the war two years ago, and when he came back from Parline Field with the other survivors, he'd had even fewer wits than before. Now he was leering at Toby, eyes and mouth twitching eerily. He had both hands behind his back. If Vik had given Crazy Colin a knife, then there was murder in the air.
Six of them in a circle, the traitor in the center.
Toby concentrated on Fat Vik, the big one, the leader. His father had more money than most, which was obvious from the fancy pin in Vik's bonnet to the shoes on his feet. Even his plaid was bright, the green and black dyes of the tartan not yet faded, and his belt buckle was metal, not horn or bone—very grand was Vik the tanner's son. He wore a very confident sneer as he stood within his private army.
Evil is coming. Terrible things will happen if you get into a fight today.
Toby Strangerson was not the only man who worked for the English, but he was the only one without family to back him. Everyone knew he had been fathered by a squad of Sassenach soldiers, so roughing him up or killing him would be a gesture of defiance, a message to the Sassenachs and all their other hirelings. Nobody would remember who'd done it. Didn't see. Just a bunch of bairns.... Would've stopped them if we'd realized ...
He put his fists on his belt so they wouldn't shake; he swallowed the odious fear taste in his throat. Sweat raced down his ribs under his wool plaid.
"Was that you screaming, Vik?"
Vik's mouth twisted. "Oh, you can hear, can you, bastard?"
"You talk too much. I'm busy right now. You going to challenge at the games?" Toby had won his last seven fights. He could take Fat Vik in one short round.
"You won't be in the games. No traitors—"
"No? Then meet me at the ford tonight. Three rounds? Or no limit? I don't care."
Vik glanced briefly at his cronies. "And a gang of your Sassenach friends there to help you? Oh, no! We'll settle this right here and now, traitor."
The circle was closing, moving in very slowly, enjoying the suspense.
"Settle what?"
"Traitor, traitor!" Crazy Colin was already jittery, his face twisting in an idiotic leer. Demons! Had they given Curd-brain a knife?
"Traitor, is it?" Toby hardly minded being called a bastard—he'd worn that badge all his life—but he did mind being called a traitor. "Remember when you joined up, Colin, three years ago? When the laird called on the men of Fillan to back King Fergan? Remember that day, Colin? I was there, Colin, up at the castle. I tried to enlist with Laird Dalmally, too."
The laird had laughed. Toby had been one of many fuzz-laced boys trying to join up that day, but he'd also been the tallest man there, even then. The laird had called him the longest fishing pole in the glen. But he had tried! He'd been refused. He might have died on Parline Field. He might have come back maimed, or crazed like Colin, but he was not a traitor. He wouldn't work for the English now if anyone else could give him a job. Every one of these six would jump at a chance to take his place on the Sassenachs' payroll.
Crazy Colin leered. "Death to traitors!" There was nothing in his head to argue with.
Toby turned his attention back to Vik. "I don't recall seeing you at the castle that day, Fatso."
"I was there!"
"You must have been kneeling, then."
That won a chuckle from Rae and Bryce. Pale with fury, Vik stepped nearer and the others closed in also, tightening the belt one more notch. Conscious of the two behind him, Toby waited for the kick in the kidneys or the first flash of blades.
"So you're on your feet now. Why're you making so much racket?"
"You stay away from my sister, traitor!"
Stay away from my sister ... Stay away from my daughter ... Toby knew those words well enough, too. No family in the glen would let Big Bastard Strangerson near its unmarried girls. But in this case, the charge was absurd. Meg Tanner was only a child, with a bad habit of wandering around near the castle. Toby had seen her safely home the previous evening. That would be excuse enough for Vik.
"Meg? You're the one who messes with kids, Vik, not me." Toby raised his voice to shout down whatever was coming next. "You should look after her better. Keep her away from the soldiers."
"I'm going to keep you away from her!" Vik howled.
That should have been the cue for the action to begin, but it didn't. Obviously Vik did-not trust his followers to back him unless Toby hit first.
Only Granny Nan's prophecy held Toby back. His heart thundered, his fists were clenched and shaking. Terrible things will happen ... "You're a coward, Tanner. Tell you what: You meet me tonight at the ford, and I'll fight you with one hand tied behind my back." He could not hope to win, but the whole village would turn out to watch, so there would be fair play.
The others exchanged surprised glances, tempted by the chance of seeing a three-fisted fight.
"He's lying!" Vik shouted. "He's the bastard son of a Sassenach! He's a traitor and a bastard."
"Hit me, then!" Toby stuck out his chin. "What's the matter? You scared, Campbell?"
Vik Tanner was really Vik Campbell, and that was the root of Toby's trouble—they were all Campbells, every one of them except Willie Bain. Just about everyone in the glen was a Campbell, which was why they all had other names as well.
Vik grew desperate. "Colin! Do him, Colin!"
Crazy Colin giggled and produced a cleaver as long as Toby's forearm.
Rae shouted, "Wait! Hold it!" He grabbed the madman's wrist. Bryce rallied to his aid.
Toby became aware of jingling and clumping and a squeaking of axles behind him. The miller's cart was bearing down on the group, with Iain himself cracking the whip. The mob scattered out of the way—Colin gibbering and frothing and fighting against the others' efforts to control him.
"Oh, Miller, sir!" Toby said, forcing his throat not to shout. "I've got a message from the steward!"
"Whoa, there! Whoa, I say!" The fat man hauled briefly on the reins, slowing the rig. "Up here with you, lad! What's the old scoundrel wanting now?"
Neal made a grab for Toby, but Toby slipped by him and jumped for the cart. The miller's whip cracked in the air behind him, making his pursuers dodge back. He snatched hold of the boards and swung a leg up; was almost thrown off as Iain lashed the horse and the ramshackle outfit lunged forward, rocking and rattling over the uneven road, creaking mightily under its load of meal sacks. The gang yelled taunts as the miller bore their victim away to safety, and a moment later the horse was splashing across the ford.CHAPTER 2
For several minutes, Toby could only cling to the bench and sweat through a flurry of cramps as his stomach tried to empty. His whole body shivered, his heart thundered. There was a taste of acid in his mouth. He enjoyed a fight if it was honest and sporting and no hard feelings after; what he couldn't face was the thought of a rat pack—being held, knives, kicking, down on the ground, unable to fight back ...
It hadn't happened. He was still whole. He had avoided the fight, so Granny Nan's prophecy did not matter anymore. He hoped the hob would tell her so and she wouldn't have to keep worrying until he got home tonight. It usually tattled to her about what was happening in the glen. Folk used to say if a child sneezed twice, Granny Nan would appear with one of her simples before it sneezed a third time. Women going into labor had always known that the midwife would arrive when she was needed. She couldn't get around much now, but when he came home in the evenings, she usually knew more of the news than he did.
"Thank you, sir," he mumbled eventually. Already the little cart had left the river behind and was climbing the gentle slope to Lochy Castle.
The miller had not said a word since his passenger embarked. In Toby's mind Iain Campbell was always linked with childhood memories of leading the donkey around and around the millstones, one of the chief joys of village youngsters. He saw now that the donkey probably enjoyed the company but would certainly manage equally well on its own.
The miller was the fattest man in the glen and bragged of it in a croaky, wheezy voice that never seemed to have enough air to function. He was not only short of breath, he was also insufferably long-winded, which hardly helped. His hair and beard were naturally sandy, but a permanent coating of flour made him a pale buff shade all over— under his nails and in his ears; even his plaid had faded to that same drab shade. He was a human meal sack. His eyes seemed tiny, but only because they were encased in folds of fat like a pig's; they were as sharp as a pig's, too.
"Well, now. And what did old Bryce have to say?"
"He wants another six loads of flour before you bring any more oats."

Even More Wi-Fi Coming To City Parks
Didn't we hear in June that AT&T was bringing Wi-Fi to parks this summer? Yes! And now we've learned there are even more hotspots on the way. According to a press release announcing the city's renewed deal with Time Warner Cable and Cablevision Systems, 32 parks will be provided with Wi-Fi by the cable companies for nine years. Broadband subscribers can use the web al fresco for free, but others will have to fork over 99 cents a day once they've used up their three free 10-minute sessions a month. That's all in addition to the 20 parks scheduled to get free AT&T Wi-Fi (some already have web surfing capabilities!) for five years. The cable companies' Wi-Fi areas will be also be spread out across the five boroughs, although Department of Information Technology & Telecommunications spokesman Nick Sbordone said that the AT&T and cable Wi-Fi are not supposed to overlap in the same part of one park: "We want to focus on parks in areas of boroughs that might not necessarily have service already," he told us. Maybe that will appease southern Brooklyn. [ezwrites]

text: (Educations stocks' 2011 outlook report updated with DeVry and Capella Education quarterly results.) NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Stocks in the education sector underperformed the S&P 500 last year for the second consecutive year. Performance in 2011 is expected to remain volatile amid regulatory uncertainty , but TheStreet takes a closer look at key industry players and how each is expected to perform. The Department of Education is expected to unveil a final version of what is known as the "gainful employment" rule which would cut federal aid to schools with more than 65% of students unable to repay hefty loans. Federal aid to for-profit education providers came to nearly $150 billion in the last academic year. >> Education Stocks: Winners & Losers of 2010 RBC Capital Markets analyst Robert C. Wetenhall said he expects the final version "will be comparable to or less onerous than the previously published draft version." Still, he told TheStreet that it's "tough to get excited about the education sector's outlook" for 2011 given the lack of a hard catalyst, or "something dramatically material likely to provide torque to the stocks." Vote: Which For-Profit Education Stock Will Outperform in 2011? The Obama administration's proposed education regulations cover everything from restricting incentive-based recruiting practices, the need for new job-training courses, and taking action against schools which fail to advertise honestly to requiring schools to notify students of graduation and job placement rates . Institutions would also be required to limit student enrollment to those who have high school diplomas or can readily demonstrate their readiness for university-level education. Schools must also comply with what is called the 90:10 rule in fiscal 2012, a rule stipulating that no more than 90% of a for-profit education provider's revenue may be generated from the DOE's federal student aid program. Bob Phillips, managing partner at Spectrum Management Group, told TheStreet "the general macro outlook for the sector is not good." He views the education sector as "a bubble fueled by free government money." Citi analyst James Samford suggested investors "stick with the clicks," meaning schools that offer online postsecondary education programs as opposed to more traditional classroom and campus settings. He estimated that nearly a third of all students took at least one course online in 2010. Nearly half of students taking at least one online course, around 3 million, were taking programs exclusively online he said, a number he expects will grow to 5 million by 2015. Samford also encouraged investors to consider schools with lower-priced programs. Even as the nationwide unemployment figure is expected to drop by 60 basis points this year, "sustained unemployment levels above 9% will continue to offset a complete tailwind reversal" that would normally affect school stocks during a recovery. With all this in mind, here then is a rundown of 2011 expectations for each of the major education sector players. Prev 0 of 12 Next

Lou Ferrigno can be seen wearing green slip-on shoes when the Hulk first charges up the hill towards 'Sasquatch' Buck.
Alias: David Barton
Job: Handyman at Harlan Bates' Store
Buck shoots the Hulk in the shoulder, causing him to draw blood. Yet in the very next shot of the Hulk holding on to Harlan as he pulls Samantha up, there is no wound. (The wound re-appears in following shots).
Sheriff: (examining Bates, who is dressed as fake Hulk) It's a hoax! The whole thing's a hoax!
Magee: What hoax? Oh well, this guy maybe, but what about that thing (real Hulk) we saw down there? You call that a hoax? That was no hoax!
Harlan: (after throwing David down the hill) You're fired, Barton!
Buck: (upon seeing the Hulk pursuing Harlan, who is masquerading as a Big Foot-like creature) Son of a gun! Two of 'em!
A year after this episode was filmed, Dennis Patrick (who guest-starred as Buck) joined the cast of "Dallas" to play the role of Vaughn Leland from 1979 to 1984.
Bill Lucking (Harlan Bates) is more-often credited as William Lucking (though he is credited on-screen as Bill Lucking here).
In an interesting piece of chance casting, William 'Bill' Lucking and Lance LeGault, who appear alongside this episode, both went on to be pursuers of 'The A-Team' (1983-86).
The episode title is a play on the 1977 novel "The Amityville Horror," which was later made into a movie.

7:40 - Saptarshi Guha: "On Using Terra as an Extension
Language for R: A Fast Alternative to C"
Abstract For Saptarshi's Talk
One approach to improve performance in R is to write the critical region in C or C++ and then call this from R. Packages to make this effort easier and more fluid exist such as Rcpp and inline. However, not all R users are comfortable in either C or C++.
Terra is a new research project developed by Zach Devito of Stanford. To quote, "Terra is a new low-level system programming language that is designed to interoperate seamlessly with the Lua programming language". Users of Terra can write Lua code (which is JIT compiled via LuaJIT) or Terra (which is compiled via LLVM)
and both can interoperate with each other.
In this talk, I demonstrate how Terra can be used as an extension
language for R with similar performance to C based extensions.
Saptarshi is a Data Scientist at Mozilla Metrics.
I am doing a research using agglomerative hierarchical clustering with R. my idea is this: out of n observations with p variables, instead of clustering n observations, i want R to do an agglomerative hierarchical cluster using complete linkage and stop the clustering at h=(n+p+1)/2 instead of the usual clustering of the whole n observation through agness or hclust. how can this be done? i mean is this possible in R?

I would like to mention that the talk will focus on coding examples and not so much statistical modelling.
