A look at the PyPy 2.0 release
My mum's ancient 486 laptop had a really strange disk failure this Christmas. It started with a single bad sector, but then within about fifteen minutes one third of the sectors on the disk (in contiguous runs of varying length) were returning, not bad sectors, but `sector not found', i.e. the drive couldn't even find the sector address markers. What I suspect may have happened, based on my extensive lack of experience in hard drive design, is that all the G forces the head assembly is exposed to whenever a seek happens had over time twisted the head reading the farthest side of whichever platter didn't contain the servo track out of true, so that when the servo track said it was over track X, the topmost heads were actually midway between tracks or something like that. In that position they couldn't read the sector addresses, couldn't find any data, and whoompfh, goodbye data. (I've never heard of this failure mode anywhere else, and perhaps it was something different, but still, it was very strange. Disks *can* go mostly bad all at once. It's just rare.)

I said it was a prehistoric system, and indeed anything more modern than about, what, 1991 won't have this problem. I'm not sure if a head failure could cause a failure to find sector address markers: I'm not sure if you could even distinguish the two cases without digging into the drive. (As I said, my expertise in hard drive engineering is notable mainly by its absence.) It's just that heads are solid-state, and solid-state stuff doesn't die all that often, while the head assembly itself is being wrenched all over the place: simple bending could explain this, I think.

NEW YORK (AP) - John Tortorella stood out again at a playoff news conference. Only this time it was because of his feistiness toward the New Jersey Devils and not for his brevity and contentiousness with the media.
The New York coach defended Rangers forward Brandon Prust, who was given a one-game suspension Sunday because of an elbow to the head of New Jersey defenseman Anton Volchenkov, and accused the Devils of embellishing to draw penalties in the Eastern Conference finals.
"We tell our players, `Don't stay down on the ice. Get up,'" Tortorella said Sunday. "I'll leave it at that. If we want to start discussing officials with the media, I have a long list here."
He then began to air it.
Tortorella said the Devils set picks during power plays to set up shots for Ilya Kovalchuk and prevent the Rangers from getting into position to block them. He added that forward Dainius Zubrus elbowed New York defenseman Anton Stralman on Saturday, and said top New Jersey forward Zach Parise launched himself into another defenseman, Michael Del Zotto.
Neither of those players, nor Prust, was penalized for their hits during the Rangers' 3-0 win that gave New York a 2-1 lead in the East finals.
Kovalchuk scored a power-play goal in Game 2 that the Rangers say was made possible by a pick.
"We're trying not to get picked," Rangers forward Brad Richards said. "Sometimes you get picked. We're trying to let the refs know and have them look at it."
Prust had a chance to present his version of the hit during a telephone hearing with NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan on Sunday morning. It wasn't enough for him to avoid having to sit out Game 4 on Monday night in New Jersey.
"I was able to talk quite a bit and explain where I was coming from," Prust said. "I was just trying to get into that check, I was at the end of a shift, just skating over for a routine check, I just wanted to rub him out and get off the ice.
"He bailed out of it and turned and kind of went low. It's just kind of a reaction. When you're off-balance, your arms go up, I didn't want to do a face plant into the boards. It was just kind of a reaction, I had no intent to hit him in the head there. There was nothing vicious about it."
Prust's elbow connected with the back of Volchenkov's helmet near the boards at 2:38 of the second period. Volchenkov stayed down for a bit, but remained in the game and didn't miss a shift.
Prust has received only two elbowing penalties in his career.
"I know I've played a lot of professional hockey games and never been suspended before," he said. "I don't even think I had an elbowing penalty this year. I didn't even really feel that elbow. I went to the bench and thought maybe I caught him with my knee, maybe charley-horsed him.
"I didn't hit him that hard, I think I just kind of grazed his helmet a little bit, and it stood up. For sure he's trying to get a penalty when your helmet comes up. It's just natural to try to sell it for a power play."

Changes being made at High school
By Elliot Furniss
Monday, March 4, 2013
A SCHOOL told it "requires improvement" by Ofsted has already made progress, its headteacher has said.
Stowupland High School was visited by the education watchdog last month and the report, just published online, said changes must be made.
Under Ofsted's new framework the "requires improvement" grade has replaced the old "satisfactory" rating, which the school was given at its previous inspection in February 2011.
Ofsted did hand the school some positive feedback, including praise for headteacher Karen Grimes and her team's work to raise students' achievement, and rated the behaviour and safety of pupils as "good".
In his report, lead inspector Huw Bishop said too few children were making good enough progress and the number of pupils securing higher levels in exams was too low.
He said: "Teaching has improved, but the expectations of teachers are not consistently high enough to promote sustained, good progress in all subjects.
"Although the attitudes to learning of the majority of students are very positive, the pace of learning sometimes slackens when teaching is not good enough to interest and motivate middle ability students. Achievement is not yet good. Although it is now improving, progress in mathematics is still not as good as it is in English."
Mrs Grimes said the report confirmed the school's own evaluation and the action points, which were agreed with the school, reflected the priorities in its improvement plan.
She said: "We have already made good progress in a number of areas and will continue to work hard in order that we build on the many successes highlighted in the report, including strong achievement in English and examples of good and outstanding teaching."

So let's close all the "good" middle schools in this area and put them into schools that "require improvement"! What a great idea Mr Newman!!!

Churches and Spiritual Retreats
Music has the unique ability to cross cultural boundaries and unite people in as human and spiritual beings. Harp music lifts the spirit, touches the soul, and resonates in our beings in a way that minimizes our differences and unites us in spirit.
I believe harp music has an important place in today's world. In today's fast-paced world, there is a need to quiet our souls and relax our minds. There are few moments when we come together to reflect, meditate and pray. As entertaining and elegant as a harp can be, it's the blessings of the wave of the sounds that helps us become in a state that enlivens our inner core.
Music for Worship Services
Music often plays an important role in liturgy and worship. Nicolas offers selections as preludes, postludes and music at communion as well as accompaniment to hymns.
Special Worship Services
Nicolas is often performs as a guest musician for special services, such as Candlelight Christmas, Easter, baptisms and other special services.
Recognizing the contribution that live music offers to the life of a community, Nicolas has provided performances for church luncheons, special events, evening concerts, weddings, anniversaries and more.
Assemblies and Conventions
Nicolas travels to perform as general assemblies, conventions, retreats and other special events.
Spiritual Retreats
The beautiful, peaceful quality of the harp music combined with Nicolas' gentle and authentic nature enhances the opportunity for spiritual connectedness and growth.
People often say to me: "What a gift you received from God!"
I often respond that it came with a lot of work. Many times when I am playing, I am moved with emotion and grateful for this opportunity. It gives me great pleasure to share the joy and peace that comes from music.

A protected bike lane on Dunsmuir St. in Vancouver shows the street of the future. (Credit: Photo by Paul Kruger under a Creative Commons license from flickr.com)
For the past year powerful voices around Washington have singled out programs to improve biking and walking as flagrant examples of wasteful government spending.
Since last summer, proposals have flown around the Capitol to strip away all designated transportation funds for biking and walking—even though biking and walking account for 12 percent of all trip across America but receive only 1.6 percent of federal funding.
But yesterday (March 29) the U.S. House of Representatives—the hotbed of opposition to bike and walking as well as transit programs—voted to extend the current surface transportation bill for another three months, saving the funding of bike and ped programs. The Senate followed two hours later. (This marks the 9th extension of the existing transportation bill since 2009 and another victory for the growing movement to ensure federal support for biking and walking projects.)
The political forces that want to steer policies back to the 1950s—when cars and highways were seen as the only way to go—have consistently failed to muster enough votes to shift federal transportation funding into reverse. There are several reason for this, but one of the most surprising is the emergence of bicycle advocates—and to a lesser extent pedestrian advocates—as a persuasive political lobby.
Groups like the Alliance for Biking and Walking , the League of American Bicyclists, America Bikes, Bikes Belong, Rails to Trails Conservancy, People for Bikes, America Walks and others emphasize the message that the biking and walking benefit everyone, not just folks who ride and stroll frequently. They've earned the attention of a growing bi-partisan bloc of Congress members, which makes the prospects for continued federal support of bike and pedestrian improvements much more likely than anyone expected last year.
The core of their message is plain common sense: All Americans are better off because biking and walking foster improved public health (and savings in health care expenditures for households, businesses and government), stronger communities and local economies, less congestion, safer streets, lower energy use and a cleaner, safer environment.
While Congressional critics belittle bicyclists as a marginal, almost silly special interest group, others herald them as self-reliant citizens who get around without the need of imported oil and mega-highway projects that cost taxpayers billions. Instead of a boondoggle, continued funding to improve biking and walking conditions in the U.S. represents a sound investment that saves taxpayers money now and in the future.
Even if you will never ride a bike in your life, you still see benefits from increased levels of biking. More bicyclists mean less congestion in the streets and less need for expensive road projects that divert government money from other important problems. Off-road paths, bike lanes, sidwalks and other bike and ped improvements cost a fraction of what it takes to widen streets and highways. It's proven that bicycling and walking increases people's health and reduces obesity, which will translate into huge cost savings for government and a boost for our economy.
Policies that are good for bicyclists actually benefit everyone on the streets. Good conditions for bicycling also create good conditions for pedestrians. And what makes the streets safer for bikes, also makes them safer for motorists.
Higher gas prices (which have topped four bucks for the third time in four years) means more Americans are looking for other ways to get around. Bikes offer people more choices in transportation. This is especially true for people whose communities are not well served by mass transportation or where distances are too far to walk to work or shopping.
Bike advocates are also working hard to dispel the stereotype that all bicyclists are young, white, urban, male ultra athletes in lycra racing jerseys. Increased investment in safer, more comfortable bike facilities means that more women, children, families, middle-aged and senior citizens, minorities, immigrants, low-income, suburban and rural people will ride bikes.
The number of Americans who commute primarily by bike leaped 43 percent since 2000 according to census data. The number of overall bike trips rose 25 percent.
But for those numbers to keep climbing—and the benefits for all Americans to continue accumulating—people need to feel safer on their bikes. Seventy-one percent of all Americans report that they would like to bike more than they do now, according to U.S. Highway Safety Administration data. But many of them fear riding on busy streets with speeding traffic.
Sharing is the best way to help these people feel safer. By historical tradition and legal decree, streets are not for the exclusive use of moving and parked cars. They are shared space belonging to everyone.
The Green Lane Project, which will launch in May, is an initiative to reclaim a bit of streets for bicyclists. The goal is to pioneer 21st century streets in six cities where bike lanes on major routes will be protected from heavy traffic by curbs, posts, parked cars or paint. This could do for bicyclists what asphalt roads did for cars a century ago.
But it's important to remember that biking and walking are not strictly an urban way to get around. A new report from the Rails to Trails Conservancy (which I helped write) shows that biking and walking in rural America is far more widespread than most people realize.
The report cites data from the U.S. Department of Transportation showing that rural Americans bike only slightly less than their urban counterparts, and much more than people living in newer suburbs. Here are two particularly surprising findings.
- In towns of 10,000 to 50,000, a higher percentage of overall trips are made by bike than in urban centers.
- In towns of 2500-10,000 twice as many work trips are made by bike than in urban centers.
Federal funding of biking and walking improvements play an important role in helping rural communities attract and retain young people, families and businesses.
As the CEO of the Billings (Montana) Chamber of Commerce John Brewer told a Congressional hearing last year. "Talented people are moving to Billings in large part because of our trail system that creates the quality of life they are expecting….Trails are no longer viewed as community amenities; they're viewed as essential infrastructure for business recruitment."
This story is adapted from remarks Jay Walljasper gave at the National Bike Summit in Washington, D.C. on March 21.
Rate this article
er, that's not a "protected bike lane." that's a bike trail. BIG DIFFERENCE.
Co-sign on the above. Facilities like the one pictured are not appropriate for transportation cycling. The "Multi-User Paths" common in the US are often clogged with pedestrians and strollers making it frustrating and often unsafe for cyclists trying to get somewhere. These are not appropriate substitutes for bike lanes and other facilities designed for cycling.
You're right, Bdelapena. It's a trail, not a protected bike lane. As Jay writes "curbs, posts, parked cars or paint" are the means for creating protected lanes. Here's a visual guide to the different types of bike lanes: http://bikingrules.org/biking/laneprimer
Jay got it right in the article but we posted the wrong photo.
Thanks, Chris, for your feedback. We've changed the photo to a protected bike lane in downtown Vancouver, Canada. I think you'll agree that the example in this photo is more appropriate for the article and for transportation cycling. It's a bit ironic that the photo is from outside the U.S., but I think the United States still has a lot to learn from other countries' bike infrastructure.
Much better picture.
There ARE protected bike lanes in the US.
Here's one in Chicago: http://overthebarsinmilwaukee.wordpress.com/2011/06/15/chicagos-protecte...
Here's one in NYC:
It's nice to see changes like this. I've been biking place to place (as 100% of my transportation) for the last 3 years, and I'm actually quite surprised it's taking thing long for it to really catch on, because, as you said, the benefits to the economy and environment are much higher than the benefit of having a fatter wallet and healthier body.
Ashley, I like your phrase "fatter wallet and healthier body" -- reminds me of the phrase "bikes run on fat and save you money, cars run on money and make you fat". Here's an illustrated version: http://pinterest.com/pin/2040762301171974
Cycling has been stereotyped over the years, but if we look at it objectively, it is a sport that is easy to pick up and can double as a form of transportation, which makes it all the more better. I know of friends who cycle to work everyday, and it keeps them healthy all year round. Some of them even go on cycling trips during their holidays!

Hi, what are the "best" values for lenght of needle (l) and distance between paralles (d) for an accurate approximation of pi? Does it have to be l-d-1.0 or ld? Thanx

closed as not a real question by Henry Cohn, Andreas Blass, Andy Putman, Dan Petersen, Alain Valette Apr 4 2012 at 21:15 |
Indeed, the result of the experiment is strongly dependent on arithmetic properties of the parameters - the ratio $\rho$ of needle's lenght to the distance between parallel lines, and of course, the number $N$ of needles. There is a funny story about that. In 1901 the Italian mathematician Mario Lazzarini claimed to have obtained an experimental value of $\pi$ with 7 correct digits, using 3408 needles, and a ratio $\rho=5/6$ (a harmless choice, apparently). That was quite embarrassing, as it was quite clear he had cheated -after and before Lozzerini's experiment, everybody else, even with larger numbers of needles, never got a better result than 3.13 or 3.15., and today Lazzerini's experiment it is sometimes reported as a case of false. The point is a little more subtle: with the parameters he had taken, he was quite likely to obtain as approximantion the ratio 355/113 (the lucky number being 1808 intersections). My personal guess is that he somehow meant to mock the other scientists, physicists or naturalists, who performed Buffon's experiment ignoring the arithmetic axpect of the matter. One can easily do even more striking experiments, of course: with a convenient (irrational) choice of the ratio, and just 2 or 3 needles, you have a good chance to obtain an exact value of $\pi$ from Buffon's experiment... |

The naive estimator is biased. If there are $N$ trials and $i$ success, a Rao-Blackwellisation of the naive estimator gives the unbiased estimator $\frac{2l}{d}\left(\frac{n}{i}+\frac{1}{i}\right)$ (to be fair this hides an assumption for a uniform prior for the probability of crossing, which induces a weird prior on $\pi$). One can look at the variance of the estimator conditional on obtaining one success. The strategy is then to set $l=d$. Intuitively this makes sense, we want the term in $1/i$ to be as small as possible. Though for $n$ small enough, the prior dominates and the optimum is actually achieved for a small value of $2l/(d\pi)$. |
I'm guessing that the longer the needle the better (meaning, highest $\ell/d$ ratio). It seems like you'll get significant experimental issues from the cases where the needle just barely crosses-or-doesn't-cross a line, and if your needle is long enough to cross lots of lines then this becomes less relevant. Probably you want to color the lines so every tenth and every hundredth are a different color, the better to accurately count them. |
The question is well defined for estimating $\frac 1 \pi$, but not for estimating $\pi$. If $l>d$, you need to evaluate $cos^{-1}$ which requires knowledge of $\pi$, otherwise the variance of the estimator decreases with$ \frac l d$, so you'd "practically" settle for $l=d$. |

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- The chance to run through a historic Syracuse neighborhood was just one of the highlights of the 11th annual Strathmore Parks Run on Sunday afternoon. The race took about 300 competitors on a four mile course through the neighborhood and some local parks.
It is part of a larger series of events known as the Syrathon, which organizers said highlights all that the city has to offer.
"It shows off, number one, our green space, our beautiful parks. And number two, it shows how different segments of the population come together and put these events on," said Tony Martin, Race Director.
The event also included food, games and activities for kids. Proceeds benefits the Strathmore Neighborhood Association and Sarah House, which provides lodging for families of those in local hospitals.

Finally a new version, been using this for ages. Highly recommended Google Analytics Android App mAnalytics.
Dion - 1969-12-31
Excellent piece of software. Would be even better with desktop a widget. Bugs: 1. Uses the time on the phone to determine the day start and end. It does not use the time specified in Google Analytics config. 2. Unique visitors shows the incorrect number. Other numbers appear to be accurate.
Rod - 1969-12-31
This app mAnalytics gives me just enough info on my phone when I need it. I tried the others and they try to give way too much info on a smartphone.

Samsung launches a series of new protective covers for the Galaxy S III and Note II
Samsung definitely has not one, but at least two of those fine products, in the form of the Galaxy S III and Note II, and so it is looking to offer some cool accessories for them. As a matter of fact, it already had some nice covers on the market, but those required you to replace your back cover and they protected the front side only. Sure, you had your original back cover safely hidden somewhere, but the one on your handset could easily get some scratches as well. And who wants to walk around with a scratched Galaxy S III? No, mister, one does not simply walk around with a scratched Galaxy S III!
That is why the new covers that Samsung has now rolled out feature protection for the back as well. Similar style, just double the protection! They are available in a multitude of colors and cost $39.99. However, if you choose to buy two, you'll get a very discounted price - just $49.99. Four covers can be yours for $99.99.
Do you like Samsung's new covers? Sounds off in the comments below!

These cases have been available on the Internet for sometime,an now Samsung have realised what income they have missed out on,these will be alot more expensive an people will not be able to buy these but the cheaper ones on the internet
8. satydesh posted on 30 Nov 2012, 04:05 2
why is need of such cases if you made strong,sturdy products to protect from damage.
So dear samsung make products with good and sturdy materials!!!

for me i am would rather get a zenus diary case that is just my opinion
11. darac posted on 30 Nov 2012, 05:23 1
Awful construction, actually.
The same as Spigen flip cover. I really don't get the logic behind these products.
The thing is, they leave the sides(the most critical part when it comes to fall impact anyway) completely exposed.
Drop this, and the screen is just as likely to shatter, as is without it.
12. bluescreen posted on 30 Nov 2012, 06:01 0
hey genius...i think they made these to keep like change and or keys or various other items woman carry in their black holes they call a purse to keep from scratching the screen
13. darac posted on 30 Nov 2012, 06:36 2
Oh hey genius.
Now tell me what any of what you said has to do with any of what I said.
My point was they left the sides exposed.
20. bluescreen posted on 01 Dec 2012, 17:58 0
the purpose behind the case was to protect the screen in your pocket or purse...if your a clumsy fool with butter fingers and a knack for dropping ur phone then maybe u should invest in something like an otter box or some other that covers your entire phone :)
14. droiddomination posted on 30 Nov 2012, 06:44 1
These are cumbersome when u flip it open it is inthe wa y and making texting difficult. Plus bluescreen is dum arze.
15. Veigald posted on 30 Nov 2012, 07:26 1
At least they cover the ugly ass design of the phones :)
17. AnnDroid posted on 30 Nov 2012, 08:59 2
Thanks for the heads up. When you register your new Note 2 with Samsung, they send you a 50% discount coupon good until 12/13/12.
18. Reluctant_Human posted on 30 Nov 2012, 09:31 1
Will these also break apart in your pocket as you walk around with it?
This is a HUGE don't buy. The cover started peeling apart in less than 2 months making it look disgusting.

Quantic henter TheStC
Skribent: | betmee |
Tidspunkt: | 07-06-2012 07:24 |
Kategori: | StarCraft2 |
Endnu en ex-oGs spiller har netop annonceret sit skifte til et nyt hold, og endnu engang er det et ikke-koreansk hold, der har glæden.
Denne gang er det Code S-aktuelle TheStC der skifter til det Nordamerikanske hold Quantic Gaming.
TheStC har længe været et kendt navn på den koreanske scene, hvor han har deltaget i både Code A og Code S. Det har også været muligt at opleve ham i internationale turneringer som IGN Proleague og MLG Orlando, hvor endte i henholdvis semifinalerne og gruppespillet.
I forbindelse med skiftet har Quantic lavet er kort interview med TheStC:
What made you want to join a foreign team?
I wanted to join a foreign team so that I would have many opportunities to compete internationally. Recently, it has been somewhat hard at home because my sister started college, so I want to be able to help my sister.
What made you want to join Quantic specifically?
I talked with a few different teams. However, for me Quantic was able to understand me and the opportunities I was looking for better than other teams. After talking to their management for some time, and seeing how kind they are as a team, I decided I wanted to join Quantic.
Do you plan on attending many international events this year?
Yes! I want to go to as many foreign tournaments as possible. I want to meet my foreign fans! They have so much passion. I like it!
Do you have a message to your fans, or anyone you would like to thank?
To my fans: Now, I start on a new team. I will try very hard to show good results. I hope all of my fans will show interest in me and cheer for me and Quantic!
I also want to give a big thank you to Razer, Machinima VS, DB Vision, and TwitchTV for helping this to become a reality. I'm very thankful!
Det er som sagt muligt fortiden at følge TheStC i Code S Gruppespillet, hvor XplayNs egen Glidebent har lavet en gennemført analyse af de første 4 grupper. Linket til bunden kan findes i bunden af nyheden.

Lawyers for the Philadelphia Housing Authority accused former executive director Carl R. Greene on Monday of being "evasive and nonresponsive" during a seven-hour deposition last month in a lawsuit he filed following his firing over sexual harassment complaints.
The lawyers filed the motion to compel more testimony, saying they wanted to question Greene for an additional four hours.
Greene is suing the authority and its former board in federal court on the ground that they violated his civil rights by not giving him a chance to defend himself before his ouster on Sept. 23, 2010. The board, led at the time by former Mayor John F. Street, acted after learning that Greene had settled sexual harassment complaints against him without first seeking its approval.

Established since 1989, the Delicium, which was previously a creperie / snack has become the "big" Delicium since the early 2000s. The House was took from Mr. Petitot by the current shareholders, the chef "Arnaud Denax'' and the Manager responsible for the room and the service "Peter Nicolas" arrived since the mid-2000s in the restaurant.
The large room decorated with wood "Chalet" style is a deliberately modern design which gives a "Lounge" style to the whole room. Decorated with a musical setting, the establishment, which operates all year, receive you pleasantly from 11 a.m. until late at night especially in season. Quality fresh foods chosen by the chef and interpersonal skills of Nicolas Peter and his team are serving significantly to the excellent reputation of the place. A parking service is available even in the evening to ensure maximum service to customers.
Provencal and Italian cooking is subtly achieved and the quality of food makes you salivate in advance. Nothing is forgotten, neither the wines expertly chosen, nor the appetizers to make you wait for a drink, about the desserts, they are excellent...
All the serving team is particularly effective, especially at night in high season where they have reason to be overwhelmed! Tip: Booking is safer, if you want to be able to spend an evening at this place !
Nicolas Peter : Managing Partner, responsible for room service and public relations of the restaurant. A native of Versailles near Paris, Nicolas Peter has traveled extensively after graduating from international business school. After a trip to Australia where he was Bartender, he joined Megève and Le Délicium in 2005 . More room oriented, Nicolas soon found his marks in the service and little by little thanks to his relational nature, he has woven a long list of loyal customers attached to the restaurant as well as the managers. Thanks to the friendship developed with ''Chief Arnaud Denax'' the idea came to resume their establishment in 2008, when the previous owner wanted to sell, this is how Nicolas is now Manager, responsible for the public Relations and dining room, where he excels, not to mention having fun. |
Arnaud Denax : Partner, chef A native of the Basque Country, Arnaud began his career as a commis chef, then became pastry chef at Jacques Mégean with whom he learned to treat the truffle among others. Joining Le Délicium in 2000, he became its leader in 2004 after the departure of the previous cook, a catch on the fly as he says! Discrete and rather isolated, Arnaud is a perfect addition to the ''team'' they form with Nicolas Peter. Although at its contact, ''Chef'' became someone easier to see in the room to greet his cients. Working with passion, Arnaud aims to ''please'' and that's the secret of true chefs. Moreover, this year, he became a member of the ''Maitres restaurateur'' guild that values chefs working with "fresh" with passion. Thus 85% of its products are fresh and it shows in the quality of its cuisine that is simply delicious. They are lucky they found each other, and that's good as the quality of Le Délicium deserves applause. They are certainly not aiming for the'' Michelin'' but who knows? |

Actor ROBERT PATTINSON lives in constant fear of failing in Hollywood.
The Twilight star insists he stumbled into acting rather than setting out to make a career of it, and he's learned to use his phobia of failure to inspire him to greater success.
He tells MTV.com, "I think as soon as you feel validated, you're a bad actor. You have to constantly feel that there's a 99 per cent chance of failure. Total failure. Devastating failure. You should feel like every single job is the potential where you're never going to get another job again. Not in a bad way - you should feel good about it, because then you're in it. It's all about living in the present."

Hi. I have the latest version of Multiman along with the SNES/Genesis/VBA/FBA emulators installed.
Roms (and their boxarts) show up completely fine under the "retro" column in the default Multiman theme, but in other themes, only one icon per emulator shows up.
Is there a way to make the roms show up in the other themes as well?

Gretta's Shoe Challenge
Most women take their shoe shopping very seriously, but even those who love their heels are probably not as devoted as Susan Discorfano-Caiafa. "My house is overridden by shoes," says the 41-year-old, who admits to spending $30,000 on the 358 pairs of shoes in her collection. They fill every closet in her home, even taking up space occupied by her teenage son. "We have to keep the closet door shut when his friends are over. He's a boy so he's not happy to have stilettos in the closet."
Can Gretta get this shoe lover to part with some of her beloved possessions in the name of good will? She flies Susan to the Zappos.com shoe warehouse in Kentucky with a challenge: pick out new designer shoes and pay for them by donating at least 10 of her own pairs of shoes to charity for each new sandal, boot and sneaker. "I would do that," Susan says -- and the shopping begins! By the end of the day she donates 170 pairs from her closet to Soles 4 Souls, which provides shoes and clothing to those in need.
Rachael is so impressed that she challenges her viewers to do the same! Get involved by pledging to donate a pair of shoes.

For many passengers, air travel is only about finding the cheapest fare. But as airlines offer a proliferating list of add-on services, from early boarding to premium seating, the ability to comparison-shop for the lowest total fare is eroding.
Global distribution systems that supply flight and fare data to travel agents and online ticketing services like Orbitz and Expedia, accounting for half of all US airline tickets, complain that airlines won't provide fee information in a way that lets them make it handy for consumers trying to find the best deal.
another way for the airlines to lie to potential customers - good grief - how about just letting folks on the plane for the flight and then randomly handing out the ticket and price based upon who knows what - how one is dressed, gender, race, age - etc - the more they dislike you - the more you pay. No other industry seems to try to cover up information about price like the airline industry - they are making used car salespersons look attractive.

By Scooter Hobbs / American Press
Honey Badgers turn out to be as elusive and hard to track down as they are famously tenacious.
There was no real news on Tyrann Mathieu's future plans Monday, but that didn't keep the rumor mill from cranking up about last season's Heisman Trophy finalist, eventually escalating into a battle over semantics.
A report late Monday by Nola.com indicated Mathieu would make his decision Wednesday about where he will transfer, citing a source close to Mathieu.
McNeese State coach Matt Viator, who met with the estranged former LSU cornerback Friday night just hours after he was dismissed from the Tigers' team, stayed busy Monday preparing his own team for the upcoming season while waiting to hear if Mathieu would be a part of it.
Viator would not comment Monday.
Instead the plot thickened about the player who earned his Honey Badger nickname for his pesky knack for playmaking.
A source-based report that Mathieu was still hoping to one day rejoin the Tigers seemed to have been shot down by one LSU official, but later in the day others at the school appeared to be at least leaving a small crack in the door for his return.
ESPN.com reported early Monday that Mathieu, distraught over being booted from the Tigers, was considering returning to LSU to remain a student and sit out this season as a football player while hoping to be reinstated to play football next year.
"If Tyrann chooses to return to LSU as a student he can do that," LSU head coach Les Miles said. "We are not speculating on anything beyond that."
However, LSU's senior associate athletic director for compliance, Bo Bahnsen, told Gannett Louisiana that "he's permanently ineligible to play football at LSU. That's definite. That's what was said Friday."
Bahnsen also said, regarding Mathieu's reported desire to one day return to the team, that "he's not accurate if he thinks that."
But LSU officials later said that Bahnsen's quotes were taken out of context and that "LSU did NOT announce this (that Mathieu was permanently ineligible)."
Senior associate athletic director Herb Vincent said on his Twitter account that: "To clarify: Tyrann Mathieu has the option to go to LSU as a student. LSU is not speculating on his football future."
Meanwhile, The Clarion-Ledger in Jackson, Miss., reported that Jackson State was interested in talking to Mathieu but was denied permission to talk to him by LSU.
Even though Mathieu is no longer with the Tigers, other schools still have to request permission from LSU before personally contacting him.
TigerSportsDigest.com reported that McNeese and Nicholls State are the only two schools Mathieu now has interest in, and that Mathieu asked LSU not to grant permission to any others.
As for returning to LSU, neither Miles nor LSU athletic director Joe Alleva appeared to leave much wiggle room for Mathieu when his dismissal was announced at a hastily arranged news conference at noon Friday.
Both said at the time Mathieu's dismissal was permanent, which seemed to reflect the wording of LSU's official drug policy for athletes.
Mathieu was suspended for last year's Auburn game, reportedly for testing positive for synthetic marijuana. LSU's written policy says that a second failed drug test results in suspension of up to 15 percent of his team's games.
A third positive test would result in "up to one-year suspension from all athletic-related activities."
But the policy also states that a player may appeal the decision and goes on to state that if an appeal is successful and the athlete is reinstated, "If institutional drug testing reveals the existence of drugs at any time an automatic positive test will be issued and Permanent Ineligibility to participate at LSU will result."
While talking with reporters after Friday's news conference, Alleva said, "the policy is a written policy, so it's like the speed limit. If you go over the speed limit, you're breaking the law. He's been over the speed limit."
The closest Alleva came to saying the dismissal might not be permanent came later in Friday's session with reporters when he said, "for right now, at LSU, his opportunity is taken away."
But stay tuned.

Betrayed By Metadata: John McAfee Admits He's Really In Guatemala
Originally published on Wed December 5, 2012 9:05 am
The story of John McAfee just keeps getting weirder. If you remember, the McAfee anti-virus software founder is on the lam, wanted for questioning in Belize for the shooting death of Gregory Faull, another expat who lived near him.
McAfee claims he's innocent and the victim of a corrupt government who is trying to get him.
Yesterday, the story took a surprising turn when Vice Magazine bragged that they had scooped everyone because they were "with John McAfee right now, suckers."
Along with the short story, the magazine posted a picture taken with an iPhone, and as The Next Web explains the magazine simply forgot to scrub the picture of the location metadata included within.
For a guy on the run, that's not great news. The Next Web tracked the GPS coordinates to a location in Guatemala near the Belize border.
McAfee claimed that he had falsified the data in the photo. He even apologized to Vice for interfering with "the objectivity of their reporting."
Today, another twist: McAfee fessed up in a blog post on his website:
"I am in Guatemala and will be meeting with Guatemalan officials this morning. If all goes well I will do a press conference tomorrow.
"Vice Magazine reporters are indeed with me in Guatemala. Yesterday was chaotic due to the accidental release of my exact co-ordinates by an unseasoned technician at Vice headquarters. We made it to safety in spite of this handicap."
Vice Magazine followed up with a short piece about McAfee's escape to a fancy resort in Guatemala City, a piece about how McAfee and his 20-year-old Belizean girlfriend met with and hired a high-priced lawyer who he hopes will get him out this mess.
Update at 2:57 p.m. ET. McAfee Seeks Asylum:
The AFP reports that McAfee's attorney says he will seek asylum in Guatemala.
The AFP adds:
"'I have to manage his political asylum,' Guerra told AFP after meeting McAfee early Tuesday at a hotel in Guatemala City.
"McAfee 'is persecuted in Belize, persecuted politically because he stopped financing the government. They accuse him of a common crime. So what I have to obtain is an authorization of asylum,' the lawyer said."

Landscaping on Steep Slopes: Hillside Landscaping
Flowering Ground Covers
Need a plant that will beautify your slope while also holding back the soil and smothering weeds? These flowering ground covers may be just the solution for your problematic hillside. Browse my pictures to facilitate plant selection and click the accompanying links to read information that will help you determine if a particular plant is right...
Building Dry Creek Beds on Hillsides to Prevent Erosion
Are you losing soil on a hillside to erosion? If so, consider installing a dry creek bed. This tutorial tells you how, step by step. And dry creek beds look so good, some people install them even if they do not have erosion problems!
How to Build Stone Retaining Walls
Do you have merely a slight slope in your landscaping, a minor annoyance that you would like to "do something with"? The type of stone retaining wall described in this tutorial could be just the solution you are seeking. Being mortarless, it is a relatively easy undertaking for DIYers. And such stone walls look nice, especially in conjunction...
Juniper Plants for Hillside Landscaping
Those seeking plant options for landscaping slopes should strongly consider junipers, especially creeping junipers. One type is 'Blue Rug'. These ground covers work well, once established, on sunny slopes. They will suppress weeds and cut down on erosion. And honestly, do you want to continue to have to mow those steep slopes? These plants are...
Landscaping Hills With Pachysandra
Creeping junipers perform well in sunny areas. But what about a ground cover for shady slopes? Pachysandra is one choice. These ground covers are not as tenacious as junipers, but they can be effective on medium-sized inclines. Pachysandra will not grace your hillside landscaping with the floral display of the next entry but has nice foliage.
Creeping Phlox Plants
A slight slope in a sunny area can be covered with creeping phlox as a groundcover to help prevent erosion. Phlox bears a myriad of blooms in spring (prettier than Pachysandra's flowers), and using it in hillside landscaping gives you an optimal opportunity to show off its beauty. But like Pachysandra, phlox won't prevent erosion on steep slopes.
Building Outdoor Steps
Building landscape steps will allow you to scale inclines in the yard, be they steep slopes or moderate hills. I asked a professional in building outdoor steps about such issues as selection of materials and the use of railings. Here are his answers.
Railroad Ties for Retaining Walls and More
Customers have contributed photos to Railway Sleepers.com, illustrating some of the many uses for railroad ties ("railway sleepers" in the U.K.) around the yard. Retaining walls, landscaping steps and raised beds made of railroad ties are just some of the ideas explored on this site. See their "Railway Sleeper Project Photos" section.

Ten jobs at risk at HMV St Helens
11:36am Wednesday 16th January 2013 in News By Stephen Mather, Senior reporter
STAFF at HMV in St Helens remain in the dark after being told to "carry on business as usual" despite the announcement that the company has appointed an administrator.
Ten members of staff at the entertainment store in Church Square Shopping Centre now face a threat to their jobs, as they have yet to have been informed over the store's future as the Star went to press.
They will no longer be selling gift vouchers or issuing refunds. It is believed that this has already led to angry customers confronting staff.
HMV, which employs more than 4,000 people said in a statement: "The board regrets to announce that it has been unable to reach a position where it feels able to continue to trade outside of insolvency protection, and in the circumstances therefore intends to file notice to appoint administrators to the company and certain of its subsidiaries with immediate effect.
"The directors of the company understand that it is the intention of the administrators, once appointed, to continue to trade whilst they seek a purchaser for the business."

Lumia 710 for T-Mobile confirmed by FCC Manual
We have seen the Lumia 710 posted on Nokia USA's website since the Lumia was first launched. We have also had posts, with regards to T-Mobile announcing a Nokia Windows phone next week.
This NWP has all been but confirmed to be the Lumia 710, until now. FCC listings, show the user manual of the Lumia 710, to have T-Mobile branding. In my opinion, this, along with what we already know, packages everything together to prove that T-Mobile will be unveiling the Nokia Lumia 710 next week.
Shame really, as the Lumia 800 would probably sell better based on design and specs, and have, what I believe, to be a better chance at putting Nokia back on the US map. We'll see what they do. Who knows, CES 2012 may bring the Lumia 900 to the US.
Do you think Nokia should have brought the 800 over the 710 to the US? Or should they have just gone all out straight away with the Lumia 900? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

- T-Mobile planning to launch Lumia 710 in US | Androsym | December 9, 2011
I think it's just one of the devices coming out. I'm sure the others will be launched the same time.
This is a serious marketing failure if this is the first phone they unveil for north America. I though there was talk of a massive marketing blitz and the release of a true high end phone to start things off in the USA?
My guess is this is just a soft launch, quite under the radar.
They have practically zero presence on the US soil by now, they have to hire people, train them, put the right processes into place etc.
I think this is the main purpose of this very low profile launch – to prepare everything for the Big Bang.
This seems plausible.
I would have waited for Lumia 900. Maybe go with Lumia 800, but not with Lumia 710.
Unless the contract with this one is really set to be entry level pricing.
This is just the first little dip in US waters. Low profile 710 to go with low profile T-Mobile. Come January it'll be a much bigger splash when high-profile Lumia 900 hits the shelves of high profile AT&T! Wait and see.
They will probably offer Lumia 800 and 900 for the bigger US carriers (verizon, AT&T).
This is my guess as well. After all, they would have had to re-tune the 800 to fit it with TMobile. That said, having the 800 on TMobile would have been absolutely perfect for me, as I prefer TMobile and their cheap, unlimited data offerings to AT&T's highway robbery.
I'm not thrilled about the T-Mobile branding. Not keen on having any phone with carrier branding on it.
