Senegal Bichir tankmates
Hey guys, quick Q, what can I keep in a 30g with a Senegal Bichir? I can upgrade filtration and hiding spots if necisarry. Id like to have something like a Pleco, a Firemouth, s Spotted Rafael, etc
I can tell you that cichlids will eat its fins off, killing it.
Nothing in a 30. I have a 110 with 2 Senegal Bichirs, 2 Spotted Bushfish, and a bristlenosed pleco tha t seems to do all right. There's just not enough space for a half grown bicher in a 30.

Worst: Big Show Is Awesome And Makes Great Points About Cena, So Let's Have Michael Cole Yell At Him About Nothing For 20 Minutes, Then Wrestle
Last week I wrote extensively about how The Big Show had transformed pretty seamlessly from an aimless, stupid, fat dope who'd step through a table in his own tables match to an unstoppable, bad-ass personification of everything I wish for in wrestling. They continued that with Show this week, airing a pair of video packages that made him look great and could've only been better had he spent a portion of them going on about how Cena was gonna piss and sh*t his pants. Show rules, and our big fear from last week was that Cena would show up as a Pet Detective and make wacky faces and thrust obnoxious gay jokes at him until he collapsed back into the sack of crap he used to be.
Oddly enough, what we got was worse.
Sure enough, Cena showed up without a care in the world, but instead of loo-hoo-sir-her'ing in Big Show's face we got a 14-minute conversation with Michael Cole about how each thinks the other is pedantic and overrated. That somehow led to Cena getting to choose his opponent for the night and once again proving why he's the worst f**king Magnum T.A. ever by refusing to be the bigger man and beat up an announcer. Michael Cole does deserve to get beaten up, preferably on a regular basis, but throughout the segment I couldn't ignore a few truths:
1. Michael Cole has been WAY BETTER lately. He hasn't screamed over matches in a while, and aside from a few moments where you could tell he had to say a certain thing to get a plot-point over he's been relatively laid back and harmless. Now is certainly not the time I would've chosen for someone to call him out and assault him.
2. John Cena shouldn't really have a beef with Cole. If you think of people who'd want to beat up Cole, who do you think of? Daniel Bryan. Jerry Lawler. Eve, maybe. Teddy Long, if he was suspended above the ring in a shark tank and could drop a foreign object down to somebody. Certainly not Cena, but in the same way WWE wrote themselves out of a corner by having Average Everywoman Eve Torres go full-on SCANDALOUS BITCH~ in a heartbeat, they gave us 14 minutes of Cole being a dick to Cena so Cena would want to beat him up. Nothing really sustainable, so it was a short-term payoff, and nothing we'd really been asking for.
3. And why does Cena want to beat up Cole? Because Cole said he didn't like him. Cole because WWE's "voice of the detractors", and if he'd said the same things at the end of the show when the crowd wasn't hot and desperate for wrestling, they probably would've cheered him.
4. The only reason to beat up Cole is for all the horrible things he said and did in 2010-2011, but that was paid in full when Bret Hart Sharpshot him, Jim Ross slathered him in barbecue sauce (more on that later) and Jerry Lawler stuck his foot in Cole's mouth. How many times do we punish him for the same crimes? What's the worst he's done since then, kiss up to John Laurinaitis?
5. "Be A Star" joke aside, what kind of guy is Cena when he's given an open contract against anybody in the world and his first two options are "46-year old executive in a wheelchair" and "43-year old non-wrestler"? Cena could've given himself a match against WWE Champion CM Punk, a match against World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus … hell, The Rock is still on the Raw roster technically, he could've called out Rocky and tried that whole thing again. If Cole had gotten out of it, would Cena have challenged Eve?
6. Remember when Big Show got to choose his own opponent? He threatened Santino about it, but he ended up accepting a challenge from Brodus Clay, then wiped the f**king floor with him. Don't know why anybody would be on Cena's side in this.
So yeah, we could've followed up the hot ending to a pretty-good Raw by building effectively to the cage match main-event at the pay-per-view that is TWO WEEKS AWAY, but instead we spend a quarter-hour setting up a dated announcer vs. wrestler match with no real build for no real reason.
Best: Johnny In A Hoveround Is Going To Be Funny Forever
It is. When open segments are bad, I can at least count on The Executive Vice President Of Talent Relations And General Manager Of Both Raw And Smackdown Mr. John Laurinaitis to roll out with a rubber chicken or one of those headbands that make it look like somebody shot an arrow through your head or whatever and entertain me out of thin air.
One of the things I like about Laurinaitis and "People Power" is that he thinks he's actually doing something to help people. He's underhanded, sure, and he's out for his own interests, but so is everyone else … and I can buy that Laurinaitis is trying to do that in secret and thinks he's doing a great job of hiding it. So occasionally he gets the itch to play fair and give Cena a chance to pick his opponent, because hey, HE'S not gonna have to wrestle Cena, and it's the only chummy thing to do. That's a perfect dickhead boss. He doesn't hate you, he just doesn't give a sh*t about you.
Best: The Brogue Kick Taunt Actually Ending Matches
One of my biggest complaints about Kofi Kingston (if Kofi Kingston gripes were members of X-Factor from when I was reading X-Factor, this one would be Strong Guy) is that he always tries to set up Trouble In Paradise by doing a Shawn Michaels thing where he backs up into the corner, starts clapping his hands together and gets everyone to chant "boom" … but he has never once hit Trouble In Paradise after doing it. He always misses it, and by now I guess hearing the crowd chant "boom" is code for "duck my dumb kick".
So as much as I don't want to see Sheamus beating Dolph Ziggler, I appreciate that his thing where he stands in the corner beating his chest and yelling BROGUE~! actually leads to him Brogue Kicking dudes and pinning them. It makes his taunt feel special, like when he starts doing it you can think to yourself, "okay, the match is over, here comes the Brogue Kick" and actually buy it when people interrupt or reverse it, rather than Kofi's sh*tty thing where you just sit on your hands and wait for f**king Lucky Cannon or whoever to suddenly have the dexterity to dodge signature moves.
And in case you were wondering, "he jumps too much" is the Jamie Madrox of my Kofi Kingston complaints.
Best: Well Hello, Vickie Guerrero
All I can really remember from the Sheamus/Dolph Ziggler Smackdown rematch (besides the fact that there were so many Smackdown rematches … seriously, when did Raw become the follow-up B-show?) are the commercial break that eviscerated it about three minutes in and how the camera guy kept jumping back to Vickie Guerrero every ten seconds. And I'm not usually the blatant "her boobs looked great" guy, but her boobs looked great, you guys. Jerry Lawler may have seen "better heads on a pimple", but one time he had sex with a 13-year old and his last wife left him to marry Kizarny. So.
You're pretty great, Vickie. If you won't let me marry you, at least let me wear your shaul.
Worst: Sorry For Talking About Her Boobs
Please accept my apology.
Best: ADR And Ricardo Are Doing God's Work
And speaking of people of Hispanic heritage I'd like to marry, Alberto Del Rio and Ricardo Rodriguez interrupted Sheamus and his celebratory on-stage hammerfisting by jumping him, tripping him up into the Mike Mizanin Memorial WWE Statue and armbreakering him while he was hanging off the stage. This is easily the best Best of the show, and if they built an entire pay-per-view cycle around Alberto mangling Sheamus' arms only to forget that Sheamus can also kick people I'd buy it.
Again, to clarify to readers who can't seem to understand it, yes, I'm giving Alberto a best for jumping Sheamus with his friend and trying to break his arm out of spite, and yes, if CM Punk did the same thing I'd give him a Worst. The reason why: Alberto Del Rio is a bad guy. Bad guys are supposed to do reprehensible sh*t to make you want to see them get their asses kicked, they shouldn't be running around in circles whimpering and holding tights and fleeing at the first sign of trouble like modern WWE heels do. On the same tip, WWE babyfaces — or hell, at least ONE f**king WWE babyface — should attempt to be the better man and not stoop to this level. All WWE babyfaces DO is stoop to the heels' level, which is why I like the heels more. At least I can understand where they're coming from.
Worst: John Laurinaitis Doesn't Care What's On WWE.com
Me either, Johnny, me either.
So let me get this straight … John Laurinaitis is in charge of both televised wrestling programs AND he's in charge of the talent available to be used on those shows, but he doesn't know Vince McMahon is going to be on next week's Raw until David Otunga shows up with an iPad to tell him what's on Dot Com? Does the WWE.com article mention that while Vince is still the CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, Triple H and the Board Of Directors relived him of his day-to-day duties as COO, which means (or should means) that Vince shouldn't be able to show up and handle day-to-day operations, such as giving performance evaluations? That should be Triple H's job. But John Laurinaitis power-played Triple H out of the picture enough to end up running both shows (after Triple H gave him a job evaluation, right? Or was it the other way around? How many job evaluations from how many different people do you have to have per year?), so …
I don't know. As far as I can tell now, the hierarchy goes
1. What These People Want
2. Board Of Directors
3a. John Laurinaitis As VP of Talent Relations and GM of Raw and Smackdown
3b. Triple H As C.O.O.
3c. Wrestlers Making Impromptu Matches
Both 4. and 2b. Vince McMahon As C.E.O.
5. Eve Torres, Head Of The Knockouts Division
6. ???
7. Stockholders
So who knows? They should've filmed a follow-up segment where Otunga approaches Laurinaitis backstage, Laurinaitis tells him he's busy, and Otunga's all, "Have you seen WWE.com? They ranked Layla above Big Show on the Power 25. Isn't he supposed to be main-eventing your pay-per-view?" And then he shakes his head derisively, and they stare off into the distance for way too long until somebody says "cut".
Worst: They Have A 3-Hour Raw Next Week And All They've Announced Is A Performance Evaluation
I seriously might have to give up this column when Raw goes to three hours in July. Or I'll just cover the first hour, and the last five pages will be the Best And Worst Of Whatever Episode Of Adventure Time Is On. Not sure I'm mentally prepared to write about the same 20-minute sneak peek of Common Law I'm gonna have to recap every week.
But yeah, next week is a three-hour show, the go-home Raw before No Way Out and one of the big Raws leading up to the milestone 1000th episode and the ONLY THING ANNOUNCED is Vince McMahon showing up to have a business meeting. I'm not asking for the Attitude Era to come back or anything, but can somebody PLEASE put everything in a dumpster and shove it off the stage?
Best: Remember Sin Cara? He's Back, In Pog Form!
Sin Cara is back, and he's taken some important steps toward erasing his legacy as the guy who f**ks up a lot on his way to rightful lucha glory:
1. He got rid of the "jump the top rope" entrance, reducing his chance to botch it by 100%.
2. He's taking it easy in comeback matches against Hunico, who should really probably try leaving Sin Cara alone forever now.
3. He's integrating simpler lucha moves into his WWE moveset – for example, it's a hell of a lot easier to springboard at somebody than it is to stand up safely on the top rope with your head in their armpit and backflip without either of you getting hurt or slipping off and killing yourself.
Steps 4 and 5 are
4. Get rid of the stupid moodlighting, because Jesus, seriously
5. Immediately get into a feud with Alberto Del Rio, then only wrestle guys who have seen more lucha libre than Chavo Guerrero cruiserweight title matches.
Sin Cara should be a big deal, and I'm never going to shake that image of being at WWE Axxess during this year's WrestleMania and seeing 50 people in line to meet Tony Atlas, then looking across the room at 4 f**king people waiting to meet shoot lucha legend Mistico. My brain doesn't want to process that, and of all the people who need good will right now, Sin Cara is the one for whom I wish the best.
Best Camacho Exists Solely To Be Knocked From Ring Aprons
LOL Camacho
Michael McGillicutty's dad is Mr. Perfect, one of the most beloved in-ring performers in modern wrestling history. McGillicutty doesn't get to be Junior Perfect or Joe Hennig, but he's come around, and he's having good matches on NXT. If you extend that scale in both directions, you have Camacho. Camacho's dad is MENG, aka Haku, aka King Haku, aka one of the very coolest and toughest people to ever walk the pro wrestling planet. Camacho doesn't get to be Haku Jr., he gets to be Hunico's boyfriend (this isn't canon, but they aren't giving me a lot to work with) on a bicycle and the only thing he gets to do is climb up on the ring apron and be immediately knocked from it. He got to lose to Ryback once.
What weird world do we live in where Cowboy Bob Orton's son is supposed to be the ace of your promotion, but Mr. Perfect's son and Meng's son are chumps? This shouldn't be happening. If Raquel Diaz and Richie Steamboat end up slumming it in a company where f**king Carlito won four f**king championships I'm calling shenanigans on the entire operation.
Worst: La Mistica Is Not An Impact Finisher, n00bs
I know saying "Mexican guys in masks doing submission holds" to Vince McMahon is probably like saying "here's what I know about organic chemistry" to a basset hound (I'm convinced they took off Alberto Del Rio's mask so he could do an armbar), but the move where Sin Cara spins around you and slams you to the ground in a Fujiwara armbar is, funny enough, supposed to end with you in a Fujiwara armbar. It doesn't make any sense that he lands like that, then has to release a submission hold immediately to roll you over and hook your legs. If you're gonna leave off the last half of the move, at least get him to spin around on the ground and Quackenbush you over, don't make it a "David Otunga doesn't know where he is in relation to the ropes" situation.
Imagine if AJ Styles hit the Styles Clash, then unhooked his legs from under your arms, rolled you over slowly and tried to laterally press you. Doesn't really work when he could just turn slightly and have your shoulders on the mat, right? Let Sin Cara rip out Hunico's arm. He's barely using it anyway. Dueling armbar finishes make your upcoming Sin Cara/Alberto Del Rio feud even better. Wrestling is great and writes itself 90% of the time, don't rip out the pages and lob them into the garbage when you're almost finished filling up the notebook.
Worst: Triple H's Favorite Raw Memory Is People Loving Triple H
f**k you
Best: Holy Sh*t, Synchronized Jobbers
I know I already used my LOL for Camacho, but loooooooooooooooooooool
The HD WWE Fan Nation videos I usually link to edited out the two best moments of the match — the military press from Hell (pictured, right) and the UNSTOPPABLY AMAZING opening salvo from "local talent" Stan Stansky and Arthur Rosenberg in the form of an epic poem. The gorilla throw speaks for itself, but at the risk of overstating it I think Rosansky turning into Tomax and Xamot from G.I. Joe to threaten Ryback is probably the funniest thing to happen on Raw all year. I want these guys on NXT, and I want them to always speak in stereo. When one gets clotheslined, I want the other to sell it.
Jobbers doing "2 Become 1" before matches is the greatest. The snark in his voice when he said "Arther ROSE-enberg!", Art's leftover Paul London pants and Michael Cole hatefully referencing "their little POME" made this one of the most enjoyable possible things for me. We should get a backstage segment with Stansky next week where he's in a lab coat in front of a bunsen burner yelling things like "but two IS greater than one! The match checks out! WHERE AM I GOING WRONG"
Also enjoyable:
Best: Ryback Just Brutally Murdering Dudes
The reason Funkasaurus matches were getting boring to me is that they were all the same. Brodus entered, danced, hit a couple of moves, pinned the guy and danced. That happened a little too often without any upward momentum, the act turned into Madea's Jurassic Park and it cooled for me. Ryback's matches are the exact opposite — he is F**KING THESE DUDES UP and I don't care if he squashes them from now until 2015 if he keeps executing them with extreme prejudice.
When I was a kid, I loved the "chumps", as I called them. Jobbers. Guys who'd never win. So when those guys show up on Raw or Smackdown, either in the form of "local talent" or guys I know with weird costumes and names (example: Lichtenstein Champion Johnny Gargano), I enjoy watching them perform. I liked watching Ray Rowe get squashed by Umaga more than the last 10 blockbuster Raw tag team main-events. There's a sincerity to it, and in a TV-PG world you occasionally have to have guys get shoot destroyed in the most violent way the rating will allow. Ryback throwing a guy 20 feet into the air is a good example of that. Him propping them up together and turning them into paste with a lariat is another.
I'll put it to you this way: If the Funkasaurus went up against a guy like CM Punk, I'd expect Punk to win. If Punk went up against Ryback? I'd order flowers for the funeral.
Best: The Punk/Daniel Bryan Feud Is Making Kane Pretty Good By Proxy
WWE Fan Nation did a terrible job of editing that Ryback match, but they did a great one with Punk vs. Kane – they show the entire pre-match Daniel Bryan Q&A, then jump right to the end where Bryan and A.J. interfere. We'll call this one a push, guys.
Anyway, the WWE Title feud is built around three absolutes:
1. Daniel Bryan's inability to have a bad match
2. Kane's inability to have a good match
3. CM Punk's inability to have a segment anybody but me dislikes
And surprisingly enough, it all goes together well. Daniel Bryan is getting put into high-profile segments on the A-show with the most popular guy on the show, so he looks more important. Punk's segments gets a dose of QUALITY PRO WRES, something missing from Punk's life between September and April. Kane gets put into good matches AND into good segments, and lo and behold, here I am giving Bests to Kane's involvement in non-accidentally hilarious moments on Raw.
That's not meant to be backhanded. Kane apparently works well in situations where he doesn't have to carry them, especially one built around two little guys who keep passive-aggressively sniping at each other and having romance drama and need a 7-foot guy in a flame speedsuit to show up and choke them and throw them at the ground. It worked back in the long long ago when Kane was feuding with World Heavyweight Champion Chris Benoit, and it works here. Who knew that pairing your best wrestlers with guys who'd have fun wrestling great wrestlers would end in great wrestling?
Best: AJ's Craziness Is Becoming A Joss Whedon Metaphor
This is one of the ultimate WAIT AND SEE WHERE IT GOEZ moments for me right now, but AJ's sudden craziness has become a plot point, and (thank God) one deeper than "women be trippin'". I wasn't a fan of watching her whimper through what I was assuming would be multiple mentally abusive relationships, but if she's gonna own it and turn into one of the Children Of The Corn and scare Kane away with her smile I am all about it. Let's go a step farther and figure out a way to make her eyes glow when she gets emotionally distraught. She could stand to hover a little, too.
The only complaint I can come up with for AJ here is that she's getting a character because of a valet romance angle, and not as an important hook for the Divas division. It sounds simple, but if you give the women in your employ television characters and personalities and last names they could probably come up with something great. AJ's the Firestarter, Eve Torres wears glasses … we're almost there!
Best: Josh Mathews Is Afraid Of Everybody Now
AJ and Josh backstage reminded me a lot of that scene in Rushmore where Rosemary confronts Max in the classroom and is all DO YOU WANT TO FINGER ME, OR MAYBE I COULD GIVE YOU A HAND JOB and Max backs out with his head between his ass. Remember when Josh Mathews spent six months clamoring on about how AJ was his dream woman? Suddenly she has a rough couple of months and this little d-bag can't handle it. That's what happens when you put a woman on an pedestal, Josh, you end up disappointed. "She reads Batman comics and likes the Internet! I had no idea she'd have feelings and emotions! /makes turdface"

I have a Blackberry Bold 9780, wich I put in my pocket without blocking the keyboard properly. The result was that I entered a wrong password several times. The phone asked me to enter the puk-code. I did, but after entering this code, the phone askes me to enter 'the new pincode'. I've tried al sorts of codes, a new one, the default one and the one that I used until this unlucky incident. But whatever number I enter and confirm, I always get the message that the pincode is blocked and can't be changed. After this message I'm back at the screen where the phone askes me to enter the puk-code, however with 1 less try. I now only have 2 tries left...
What number I should use as 'new pincode'???
hi.. i thnk you should ask your provider for the puk-code.. usually they have 12 digit numbers.. after that you can put in ur new pin code.. usually they are 4 digit numbers.. hope that could help you to solve the problem..
I have the puk-code. It's a code that I have to enter after I entered the puk-code witch is the problem.
Thanks for your reply anyway

TerraFlex LCG
anyone have feedback, good or bad,on this setup? used on 97 to 03 Tj.
Only here say, but better than their other stuff. As the reg stuff has a rep for ripping off or bending control arm brackets.
Yeup, same thing here. Teraflex doesn't seem to put that much thought or money into their lift and steering design. I can honestly say that no one I run with does or would even think about running Teraflex suspension products.
i have the st4 kit....whilst im happy with the ride height and the flex is not bad i have to be under the think all the ime with a grease gun to keep everything well lubricated.
problems to date....keep flogging out the bushes.....will one day move to JKS or RE short arms just to have the flex at the ends of the CA's and not in the middle. (my state in OZ does not allow for chassis mods...so no long arm for me)
i think that it jets a bad name because its really half a kit.....you dont get extended brake line, front and rear adjustable panard rods (track bars for you folk) and i think you need them if you want to be 4" and +.
The LCG is a great kit - MUCH stronger and beefier than their other kits, so that's not an issue. The install requires a lot of welding and measuring though - or at least it did on the pre-production Jeep I saw it installed on (really impressed by the design at the time, unless they changed it to something toned down; which would suck).
Steering can be a bit tricky if you get the triangulated front axle set up, since now you wil want your drag-link to be very parallel to the ground (no track bar to lign up pivoting angles with), so a high-steer conversion is almost necessary.

16:14 fine, flake-like thing. The manna seems to have been similar to a honey-like secretion of insects that infested the tamarisk plants of the area (called "manna" by the Arabs). It solidifies in the cold desert nights, but must be gathered early. If this is the manna, the miracle would be God's control of the amount. The amount gathered is an omer per man, about two quarts, though a related Arabic word means a cupful, and perhaps this is the meaning here.

Financial Correspondent
Controversial property millionaire Paul Reichmann now has a virtual "lock- out" deal to buy back London's Canary Wharf, largely because of the clout behind his backing group of investors, it emerged last night.
"Bad blood" between Mr Reichmann and the banks, which lost hundreds of millions of pounds when the development crashed three years ago, is being put aside to let a new deal go through.
There was speculation when Mr Reichmann unveiled his pounds 800m bid to buy back the London docklands scheme from the banks a month ago that they would look badly on the man who lost them so much money. The 11 banks, led by Lloyds, which rescued Canary Wharf are still owed pounds 900m.
However, wrangling over the conditions of the deal is expected to delay the official announcement of the deal by another week or so, according to sources.
Mr Reichmann's backers include Prince al-Waleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz of Saudi Arabia, US investors Larry Tisch (through CNA Financial, part of his Loews empire), and Michael Price through his Mutual Series Fund.
A rival bidder, Tishman Speyer Properties of the United States, pulled out three weeks ago. The detailed inside knowledge the Reichmann group has gained of Canary Wharf's current finances places it far ahead of any outsider now thinking of a counterbid, said one source.
One thing which angered the banks more than anything else three years ago when Canary Wharf collapsed was that the Reichmann family was able to keep hundreds of millions of dollars of its own money in private companies, beyond the reach of receivers and administrators. A Saudi newspaper yesterday hailed the Reichmann deal as having been verbally agreed with the banks last Tuesday, although this was denied by Lloyds.
"Sources close to the consortium led by Prince al-Waleed bin Talal and which comprises Canadian businessman [Paul] Reichmann affirmed it has won the deal to buy the Canary Wharf", the London-Based Saudi newspaper Asharq al-Awsat said. It quoted the sources as saying the consortium will pay pounds 800m in the deal which is expected to be announced later this month.
The sources did not specify the financial contribution of Prince al-Waleed, a nephew of Saudi Arabia's King Fahd, to the deal, but the newspaper suggested his contribution was larger than that previously mentioned.
The Reichmann brothers' private family company Olympia & York poured pounds 1.6bn of their own money into developing Canary Wharf in the five years following 1988.
Up and down at Canary Wharf
1988 Reichmann brothers' original investment pounds 1.6bn. Total cost of development pounds 5bn.
1992 Canary Wharf collapses with debts of pounds 576m.
1993 pounds 1.1bn rescue package: pounds 568m debts deferred to 2007, new lending of pounds 278m. Banks to pay further pounds 300m over 25 years to London Regional Transport for Jubilee Line extension, worth pounds 45m in today's money.
1994 Canary Wharf valued by banks at pounds 500m.
1995: Reichmann's new bid for Canary Wharf, pounds 800m.

Why go now?
Why go now?
To take advantage of the warm summer sunshine. February is one of the best months to visit, with daytime temperatures hovering around a hot 28C. Expect long, dry sunny days and sensational sunsets at around 8pm. Cape Town enjoys a year-round temperate, Mediterranean climate with most of its rain falling during the winter months, between June and August.
Any other reasons to go?
One reason is to celebrate a decade of democracy and freedom - this year sees the 10th anniversary of the ending of apartheid. Two other reasons are the favourable exchange rate and the many new restaurants which have opened recently. And the stunning Chapman's Peak coast road - shut for years - has finally been reopened, which means speedier and more scenic access to the must-see sights of the Cape Peninsula and Cape Point.
Where should I stay?
The Table Bay Hotel (00 27 21 406 5000; www.suninternational.com) is situated right in the heart of the V&A Waterfront development on the antique breakwater. It has panoramic views over the bay to Robben Island and back to Table Mountain. The hotel, which offers five-star corporate-style luxury, has 329 rooms, two restaurants, a lounge and bar. There is a sun terrace, swimming pool, health spa and fitness complex. Rooms cost from £332 per night. The Cape Grace Hotel (00 27 21 410 7100; www.capegrace.com), a swanky, waterfront hotel built along the sleek lines of an ocean liner, is one of the smartest addresses in town. There are great views over the V&A yacht basin and back to Table Mountain from its 121 rooms. The hotel has a fabulous, award-winning restaurant, a whisky bar offering more than 400 whiskies from around the world and a new, stylish spa for use by guests only. Rooms from £298 per night. Another superb hotel is Kensington Place (00 27 21 424 4744; www.kensingtonplace.co.za), voted one of the top 101 hotels in the world. One of the hippest hotels in Cape Town, it is set in the foothills of Table Mountain, with easy access to the city centre, the historical sights, beaches and vineyards. This boutique establishment has eight rooms with marble baths, private terraces and original art. Rooms from £194 per night.
What shouldn't I miss?
No visit to Cape Town is complete without a trip to the top of Table Mountain in the rotating cable car. To avoid the queues go for the first cable car of the day at 8.30am. For the energetically inclined, climb the mountain. The best and easiest access is on the signed trails from Kirstenboch Botanical Gardens. To avoid the heat of the day begin climbing at around 7am and allow three hours. Take a trip to Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated. Boats leave hourly from the waterfront and booking ahead is essential. You can also pay a visit to the Robben Island Museum (00 27 21 413 4200; www.robben-island.org.za). Best new restaurants in town are Wakame (00 27 21 433 2377) offering Zen minimalist chic and the best sushi in town, Tank (00 27 21 419 0007), serving superb seafood, and Ginga (00 27 426 2368), dishing up some fabulous Asian fusion cuisine.
Who should I call?
Abercrombie & Kent (0845-070 0611; www.abercrombiekent.co.uk) offers a seven-night b&b break at the Cape Grace Hotel from £1,640 per person, based on two sharing, including return flights on British Airways and private car transfers.
What if I can't afford that?
Travelbag (0870-890 1461; www.travelbag.co.uk) offers a five-night b&b break at the Palm Garden Hotel from £785 per person, based on two sharing, including return flights with South African Airlines.
Where can I find out more?
South African Tourism (0870-155 0044; www.southafrica.net). If you want to do some driving around the neighbouring countryside, Europcar (0870-607 5000; www.europcar.co.uk) offers one week's car hire in Cape Town from £152, including all charges, taxes and unlimited mileage.Reuse content

Wyp Aviation
Imagine wakeboarding, only instead of a boat you're getting towed through the clouds by an airplane.
That's wingboarding in a nutshell, and aviation buff Aaron "Wyp" Wypyszynski is well on his way to making this extreme sport real.
Wingsuit Distance Record Shattered
When he isn't working as a flight test engineer in Huntsville, Ala., Wyp is developing and testing WingBoards — a wakeboard-like wing that can provide enough lift for a human to surf through the sky. Except the tow cord would attach to the rider's body harness, enabling wild maneuvers at up to 170 miles per hour.
Inspired by the character Kit Cloudkicker on Disney's Talespin, Wyp began sketching out his idea for an actual sky windboard. He has been moving ahead through his startup, Wyp Aviation.
"There's no reason why someone shouldn't have done this already," he told Outside Magazine.
The World's Top 10 Kiteboarding Spots
Although the setup sounds like an insurance nightmare, Wyp wants this to be no riskier than skydiving. Both the WingBoard and the rider will have parachutes, and the board will be equipped with landing gear for rolling takeoffs. He has plans for automated tow and binding releases to minimize any chance of entanglement.
Wingboarding isn't quite to the manned prototype phase yet, but Wyp did a successful demo flight last month using a plastic 31-inch-tall fully articulated rider. The 3D-printed model, known as James, was towed by a tiny Bill Hempel Decathlon plane. He has his own working parachute and even did several barrel rolls.
The video is awesome and also kind of funny:
The Wyp Aviation site says it's about "making the impossible fly." After seeing how much progress the guy has made with test flights, I can easily imagine humans riding full-scale WingBoards. He envisions wingboarding becoming a regular activity at airshows and resorts.
But who on earth is actually going to do this high-flying sport? Well, surfing behind a plane would appeal to daredevil wingsuit fliers and skydivers who want to do more than fall with a board. These Arizona flight school instructors also spring to mind. And they've already got backup parachutes at the ready.

It won't be integrated as well as a distribution-specific package but it will work.
Does the LSB demand that program be encapsulated in distribution,version-specific packages before it can work? If it does, I don't see much advantage over having to build in every distribution,version environment in the first place. And if not, then how is it supposed to know about the dependencies you mentioned.
At least that's the only reason I see to care about it at all. If it just duplicates things packaging systems already do, why bother?Search me... A while back, I became convinced that the LSB was a conspiracy to get all the people interested in running closed-source software on GNU/Linux distributions involved in a project that a) required vast amounts of time and energy to run and b) was doomed to fail, thus minimizing the harm they could do. I haven't seen anything since then that would make me change my mind.
I have to agree that so far the LSB appears to be aimlessly moving things around - but I don't see why that would have to be the case if someone actually wanted programs to run.

A few weeks ago, word leaked out on Twitter that Braden Holtby was sporting a new goalie mask during practice up in Hershey. We sent photographer Kyle Mace — of our sister blog Sweetest Hockey on Earth — to the Bears' next home game and had him capture every angle imaginable of Braden's new roller-coaster themed mask.
Well now, David Gunnarsson — the Swedish artist who custom-painted Holtby's new headgear — explains the backstory to the project.

Drone award an insult to those who face combat
The Register recently carried a story about the Defense Department creating the Distinguished Warfare Medal for operators of drone aircraft who significantly affect combat operations ["Medal for drone operators draws fire," Life, Feb. 26]. The award will rank higher than a Bronze Star with a V Device for valor and above the Purple Heart Medal.
This is an insult to every serviceman or servicewoman who faces actual combat, not just in the war theater, which these operators aren't facing.
I commanded men in Vietnam who would have earned that medal practically every day we slogged through rice paddies or up and down the mountains of the Central Highlands, searching for the enemy.
The operators are joystick jockeys, far from the battlefield, and face no danger, unless you count falling off their chairs.
Eliminate this medal. It honors someone who does his job far from the battlefield without possibility of being wounded or killed in action. The existing service commendation medals already allow for recognition for outstanding job performance.
If there must be a special medal that best applies to drone operators, I suggest something like the XBox Medal or the PlayStation Ribbon. It would rank above the National Defense Service Medal and below the Purple Heart and the existing service Commendation Medal, with the understanding it is not awarded for valorous service.
This was a poorly thought-out idea from Defense Secretary Leon Panetta's staff.

How defense cuts
might hurt less
Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta recently suggested two furlough days per pay period of two weeks for all the defense employees. That would mean a nearly 20 percent pay cut. This kind of trend may be followed by other departments, including the FBI, CIA, Immigration and other agencies. The personnel affected by this treatment may feel betrayed as a result.
The cuts should start from the top, making a much deeper impact. President Barack Obama should lead by voluntarily offering to have his pay cut by 10 percent. Cuts should follow by senators, congressmen, department heads, governors, state legislators and so on.
These government officials would hardly starve over these cuts. Rather, this benevolent action on the part of public officials of our great nation would show that we are really patriotic and have nationalistic spirit.

Jumbled-up justice
If anyone wants to know what's wrong with our criminal justice system, here is a classic example ["Seal Beach shootings trial delayed," Local, Feb. 23].
Assistant Public Defender Scott Sanders argued that the defense needs more time to investigate and analyze the role of a so-called jailhouse informant who listened in as Scott Dekraai made incriminating statements from his jail cell about the 2011 killings at a salon in Seal Beach.
That was almost a year and a half ago, and that isn't enough time to prepare your defense?
His defense attorney wants to delay the trial even longer. The thing that makes my blood boil is that Dekraai told the arresting officer that he did it. He had the murder weapon in his possession. He was identified by witnesses. His wife was the main target. Everyone knows he did it.
The man is a monster. Yet, this defense attorney is trying every strategy he can to defend this creep just to win a case.
Who cares what Sanders refers to as a "jailhouse informant." Dekraai killed eight people and admitted it.
So, why is the court so concerned about secretly recorded conversations where Dekraai supposedly made incriminating statements that may have "violated his rights"? His "rights"? The only "right" Dekraai is entitled to is the right to a speedy trial, but his own defense attorney is violating that right.
As far as I am concerned, Superior Court Judge Thomas Goethals should be removed from the bench for granting Sanders' request.

Top Definition
A sexual technique in which the one participant is able to cause his or her partner to climax instantaniously through a single gesture (somtimes referred to as the Cum-Pistol)or spoken word. Practitioners of this are incedibly rare and not usually sought after as recipients often remain unsatisfied after the act because of the lack of foreplay. A true master, however, will weave this aspect of pleasure along with a myriad of others during intercourse allowing their partner to experiance a euphoria of sensations. Although no official record can confirm it, there are many rumors that this technique can indeed be fatal as endorphins overwhelm the red blood cells and the victim silently suffocates, a smile on their lips.

This page is for those fiercely independent among you. Those who never quite got beyond that childhood declaration "I can do it MYSELF!" I can relate! I'm right where you are most of the time (or at least I start there).
Below you'll find lots of great audio programs, online learning programs, download products that I've designed just for you. The one requirement each shares is that you actually listen, read, or download and then TAKE ACTION on what you've learned. This is great stuff, but I can guarantee you that it won't work if you all you do is download it and listen to it without implementing what you learn! That's why all of my programs have action steps and support documents designed to help you implement and integrate what you're learning.
Audio Programs
My audio programs are available as downloads or CDs (for those who still use those) and each one is designed to give you a systematic approach. Listen to them at least a few times, use the download page to download the worksheets, and then use what you'll learn to change your home party results. Pretty simple.

Think about all the legitimate AMGA and IFMGA guides that would never have the opportunity to climb big peaks. There aren't too many professional climbers that have the resources for an Everest permit. Much less a trip to Antarctica. Then the field of climbers on the worlds great peaks would be reduced to those that can climb, and have a ton of money. A very small number. I think that is a worse scenario than the way things currently are.
Absolutely correct. Most prof guides would never have the opportunity to climb the big guys at all if it wasn't for the big commercial guiding companies. Yes, while its not ideal on Everest right now, at least people can have an attempt to see their dreams realized.

Your Employees are Depressed. Why Employers and You Should Care
Cut to the chase and the Bottom Line:
If you are an employer, or an employee here are undisputable facts that have been and are contributing to rising health care costs and absenteeism.
"An underlying premise of the Affordable Care Act provisions that encourage employers to adopt health promotion programs is an association between workers' modifiable health risks and increased health care costs. Employers, consultants, and vendors have cited risk-cost estimates developed in the 1990s and wondered whether they still hold true. Examining ten of these common health risk factors in a working population, we found that similar relationships between such risks and total medical costs documented in a widely cited study published in 1998 still hold. Based on our sample of 92,486 employees at seven organizations over an average of three years, $82,072,456, or 22.4 percent, of the $366,373,301 spent annually by the seven employers and their employees in the study was attributed to the ten risk factors studied. This amount was similar to almost a quarter of spending linked to risk factors (24.9 percent) in the 1998 study. High risk for depression remained most strongly associated with increased per capita annual medical spending (48 percent, or $2,184, higher). High blood glucose, high blood pressure, and obesity were strongly related to increased health care costs (31.8 percent, 31.6 percent, and 27.4 percent higher, respectively), as were tobacco use, physical inactivity, and high stress. These findings indicate ongoing opportunities for well-designed and properly targeted employer-sponsored health promotion programs to produce substantial savings.

|Teamwork: Paul Pierce, Jeff Green and Courtney Lee pick it up in win over Warriors
|03.01.13 at 10:00 pm ET
Paul Pierce scored 26 points and Jeff Green added 18 off the bench as the Celtics overcame foul trouble from Avery Bradley to beat the Golden State Warriors, 94-86, Friday night at TD Garden. Kevin Garnett was just 2-for-10 from the field but finished with a team-high 13 rebounds. The Celtics avenged their ugly 101-83 loss from late December in Oakland. Pierce and Green were the only Boston players to score in double figures.
Stephen Curry scored 54 points earlier in the week in New York against the Knicks, a season-high in the NBA this season. He had scored 94 points in his previous two games but was held to 25 points on Friday night on just 6-of-22 shooting, as the Celtics (31-27) won their eighth straight home game. David Lee had 10 points and a game-best 19 rebounds for the Warriors, who fall to 33-26.
The Celtics used hot shooting early to build a 13-point first-quarter lead. Pierce led the way with 13 points in the opening period. Pierce finished with 18 in the first half. The Warriors, mostly behind the scoring of Curry, worked their way back into the game in the second quarter. Curry drew three fouls on Bradley in the first half and scored 10 points in the second quarter as the Warriors cut Boston's lead to 50-46 at the half.
The Warriors scored the first two baskets of the third quarter and tied the game. The tide seemed to be turning heavily against the Celtics when Bradley – the player assigned to defend Curry – picked up his fourth and fifth fouls of the game in a 27-second span of the third quarter and had to check out with 8:01 left in the quarter after his fifth foul.
Courtney Lee stepped in and shutdown Curry as the star scored just two points against Lee and the Celtics in the period. The Celtics had another scare when Green landed hard on his left elbow midway through the third and stayed on the ground for several minutes. After coming off the floor on his own power, Green was given a white protective sleeve and returned with just over two minutes left in the quarter.
With Green back and Bradley in foul trouble, the Celtics took command of the game for good, going on a 9-0 run to break a 60-60 tie and take a 69-62 lead into the fourth.
The Celtics are off until Tuesday when they play in Philadelphia. For more from the team of Mike Petraglia and Ben Rohrbach from the Garden, visit the Celtics team page at weei.com/celtics.
|Stephen Curry, Tom Brady and the NBA All-Defensive power of Avery Bradley
|02.28.13 at 6:33 pm ET
WALTHAM — Celtics coach Doc Rivers and captain Paul Pierce both had high praise for Avery Bradley before Thursday's practice. The C's guard will have the unenviable task Friday of guarding Warriors counterpart Stephen Curry, who scored 54 points against the Knicks in Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night.
- Pierce: 'I think every great team needs a player like that, especially a great defensive team. With so many great scorers in this league and great individual play, you need that one guy who can go out there and kind of slow those types of guys down. We have that in Avery Bradley. He's shown a willingness to sacrifice so much. I believe he can give us a lot more defensively, but he's so great on the defensive end that it has an impact on this whole team. You don't have to double as much, you don't have to give as much help when you've got a guy like that who can defend at a high level. In my eyes, he's probably the best on-the-ball defender in the NBA. I'd be very surprised if he didn't make the All-Defensive Team.'
- Rivers: 'They're picking him now. They're getting him off of [his assignments], and that's what they should do, but it's nice to have a guy that can pressure the ball. I don't know if Avery's going to shut down everyone, but I know he's going to give you the attempt to pressure, and ball pressure is important. I just use a football analogy: If you didn't blitz Tom Brady and you just let him sit back there all day, he's going to pick you apart. It's the same in basketball. If you let the passers just sit there with no pressure, they're going to pick you apart. And Avery is our blitzer.'

|Danny Ainge: Big part of the second half involves getting Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce healthy
|at 5:24 pm ET
In his weekly appearance on "The Big Show" Thursday, Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge talked about a variety of topics, including why Boston didn't make more deals at the trade deadline and the health of Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett. Ainge was asked as to whether he was concerned at all about the fatigue level of Pierce and Garnett, the latter of whom sat out Friday's game against the Suns.
"Yes, I always am. Paul and KG have been incredibly durable throughout their entire careers," Ainge said. "They take good care of themselves, but I do think that they need rest. If we have any chance of winning playoff basketball games, we need those guys fresh, healthy. Paul's neck thing I think comes and goes, but there was a stretch I think when we were in that losing streak, I actually think that might have been one of the biggest factors. Paul was not 100 percent and yet he continued to play. That's just who Paul is.
"I think Doc is determined to cut those guys' minutes down now that we have a little bit more depth on the bench and we get some more bodies in here. That's a big part of the second half of the season — getting them healthy."
Ainge also talked about the remarkable run of LeBron James, calling him the "best player in our game today, without question. When it's all said and done, he could be one of the best players of all time."
"He's one of those guys, the first time I ever saw him, in the first five minutes, I questioned whether he could be one of the best basketball players who ever lived,' recalled Ainge. "And he was 17 years old at the time and he had a similar body — he's probably 10 or 15 pounds heavier now, but he was so gifted, because he not only could shoot, pass and dribble, but he was the smartest guy on the court. The most intense guy on the court. The most unselfish guy on the court.
"I've been one of those people who know that LeBron is not perfect, and he's been under the microscope since he's been a young man. I think he's done a pretty good job handling all this stuff and he continues to get better. Now, people are having to have the conversation about him and Michael Jordan. I think it's still too early, but he's getting better. And like Michael, now he's starting to make mid-range jump shots, 3-point shots, and he's virtually unguardable with one person. You need two and three people to guard him. If he's making shots, you just have to tip your cap and pray that he misses."
Here are some more highlights of the Q&A:

|Paul Pierce: Pinched nerve causing 'up-and-down' performance, will last 'until the season's over'
|at 1:10 pm ET
WALTHAM — Two weeks, Celtics president Danny Ainge divulged during a game broadcast that Paul Pierce had been playing through a pinched nerve in his neck for two months, and before Thursday's practice the C's captain admitted the pain will continue for the rest of the season, if not longer.
"I probably won't be fully recovered from it until the season's over, if I ever do," said Pierce. "I've probably got a little bit of nerve damage in the back part of my neck, but it's something I've been playing through over the last couple months, so I'm probably about as healthy as I'm probably going to be for the rest of the season right now."
Pierce shot below 40 percent from the field and 30 percent from 3-point range in January, and while those numbers improved this month, he's having his worst shooting season in nearly a decade, making just 41.9 percent of his field goals after converting better than 44 percent in each of his previous five seasons.
"I really don't try to pay attention to it during the game," he said. "I don't let little injuries try to affect me. I don't really think about it. It's probably been the reason I've been up-and-down a lot. Sometimes you get a sharp pain. There are times when I have a stinger go through the same part of my neck where the pain is happening, and it's happening a lot more than normal, whether it be in practice or a game, so it's something I'll deal with after the season."
|Doc Rivers on D&C: Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett will be 'great when the playoffs start'
|at 11:26 am ET
Celtics coach Doc Rivers joined Dennis & Callahan on Thursday morning to talk about Stephen Curry's performance vs. the Knicks, the big win on Monday against the Jazz and more Celtics news.
The Celtics are on track to make their sixth straight postseason appearance, and Rivers is confident aging veterans Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett will be playing well once they get there.
"I think they'll be great when the playoffs start," Rivers said. "I think they'll be better because there's more rest, and our key is to get them there fresh.
"I thought that it may have had something to do with Danny [Ainge] not making a trade or doing a trade. I just don't think anything was out there that appealed to him."
Curry, Golden State's sharpshooting guard, dropped 54 points against the Knicks on Wednesday night, albeit in a 109-105 Warriors loss. The 54 points are a season-high for the NBA this season.
"That was special to watch," Rivers said, adding: "Some of the shots he was making were spectacular. '¦ The way he shot the ball and the shots he got — he's just a great shooter. He's the best shooter in our league."
Added Rivers: "When a guy gets in a zone like that, it's just hard. It's so easy to say, 'Deny him,' but he's a point guard, so he always has the ball in his hands for the most part. That's what makes it so difficult. Everyone else who are off the ball, you have a better chance. But a guy with the ball, in that zone, that's hard."
|Wyc Grousbeck on M&M: 'We need some help'
|02.26.13 at 2:08 pm ET
Celtics owner Wyc Grousbeck stopped in for a visit with Mut & Merloni on Tuesday to discuss how close Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce were to being traded last week, the prospect of being a better team without Rajon Rondo, and more Celtics topics.
Pierce and Garnett were the subjects of many trade rumors leading up to last week's trade deadline.
"For the last two or three days before the deadline, their names came up more than anybody else," Grousbeck said. "They were the topic of conversations of calls coming into us because people thought maybe we weren't going to keep it together this spring.
"The assumption going into any February, as long as I'm around, is going to be: Make the team better for this year. Don't blow it up in the middle of February if you're in a playoff position."
The Celtics are 30-27 and hold the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference. They are 2½ games behind the Bulls for the sixth seed, and 2½ games ahead of the eighth-seeded Bucks.
"If we were 5-50 or whatever, we'd be pretty likely to do almost anything to make that better," Grousbeck said. "But I like the way this team has been playing. We need some help, though. We need some more guys. … The icing on the cake was losing [Leandro] Barbosa. [He] was really playing well, lot of energy, defensive intensity, some length, some offense."
After this season, Pierce will have one more year left on his contract with the Celtics. Grousbeck talked about the likelihood of the captain retiring in a Celtics uniform.
"We're going to retire his number, whatever happens," Grousbeck said. "Paul is an all-time great. Just watching him last night, he looked like he was 25 again. … People can't say 'Big deal, they're playing for two hours. What's the big hardship?' It's a grind and that was a grind last night in overtime and everything else. They could have folded up the tent and they didn't."
The Celtics bounced back from a loss in Portland on Sunday night to close out a challenging five-game Western Conference swing with a victory in Utah, claiming a 110-107 win in overtime against the Jazz. Paul Pierce broke a 99-99 tie with a 3-pointer, the first of his three consecutive baskets in overtime that put the Celtics in control of the game's final minutes. Kevin Garnett added four points in overtime, and Courtney Lee helped to ice the game with a pair of free throws with one second left on the clock. Randy Foye's attempt to tie the game with a last-second 3-pointer missed the mark, permitting the Celtics to close out their road trip with a 2-3 mark to start the second half.
The strong overtime period continued a roller-coaster second half in which the Celtics outscored the Jazz 32-19 in the third quarter, only to see the Jazz go on a 13-2 run at the start of the fourth quarter that gave Utah an 85-82 lead. However, the Celtics recovered in time to send the game into overtime in a 97-97 deadlock. Pierce missed a chance to give Boston the win when he could not convert a turnaround jumper at the end of regulation, but he made up for the miss by taking over in overtime.
Pierce led the Celtics with 26 points while adding seven rebounds and eight assists. Garnett added 13 points and 10 boards, while Avery Bradley tallied 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting. Gordon Hayward led the Jazz with 26 points.

Once installed and configured, no interaction is needed which is great for people who aren't tech savvy. I love the pop-up warning of dangerous sites. It prevents you from going to them and asks if you really do want to go there. Never had any problems with viewing sites either.
Cons: Like the rest, it loads slowly. The nice thing is it doesn't freeze up your PC while it's loading.
