Purchases and Refunds
Placing Orders With Us
Every order is important to us here at RDO Medical. When you place an order online, you will be paying via Paypal, Bank Transfer or Sagepay. You will receive an email confirming your order and giving details of the items you have purchased. This automatic confirmation email does not necessarily mean we will be able to fulfil your order. We retain the right to withdraw products from sale at any time and to refund in full any payment made.
Payment Methods
We aim to be as flexible as possible regarding methods of payment to make your purchase as simple as possible. We always try to fulfil all purchases of all published items as quickly as possible but please remember that arbitrarily sending a payment to us does not guarantee we know who you are, what you are ordering or that we can immediately fulfil your order. Receipt of payment doesn't oblige us to fulfil any order or request either as we reserve the right to refund your payment if circumstances dictate. For payment details click the Payment Details link at the top of the page..
VAT and Pricing
Unless stated otherwise, the price you see is the price you pay. This includes VAT where applicable. UK VAT will apply. A VAT invoice will be provided.
If you are outside of the EU we may be able to export your product to you. In this case all applicable import taxes alongside any associated expenses will be at your expense.
If you are a legitimate EU based company and you meet our due diligence standards we may be able to supply you products and services without applying VAT.
Perishable Goods and Expiration Dates
For any drugs, sterile products, foodstuffs or any products with an expiration date we will always endeavour to ship out your order in a way that you have a fair and reasonable lifespan remaining on your product, relative to the type of product it is.
Payment Methods
Payment via Paypal
Paypal is our prefered payment method. Payments can be made after selecting items on our websites or by directly sending a payment to "support at rdo-medical.com". You would need to send a separate email to the same address to explain what the payment is for.
Payment via Credit and Debit Cards
We accept the following credit/debit card payments:
Visa, Visa Electron, Visa Debit, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express plus any others which can be processed via Sagepay.
We choose to do this via Sagepay since they act as an intermediary and so we never need to know your payment card details.

Upon payment we will send a PDF soft copy of your invoice via email and can send a hard copy on request.
Arbitrary Payments
We aim to be as flexible as possible regarding methods of payment to make your purchase as simple as possible. We always try to fulfill all purchases of all published items as quickly as possible but please remember that arbitrarily sending a payment to us does not guarantee we know who you are, what you are ordering or that we can immediately fulfill your order. Receipt of payment does not oblige RDO Medical to fulfil any order or request either since we reserve the right to refund your payment if circumstances dictate.
Tracking Your Orders
We aim to ship all orders as quickly as possible, there is nothing gained by you or us by leaving your order sat on a shelf in our warehouse for a few days more. We need the space! We dispatch orders every working day so it's safe to say that within 2 working days of your order being paid for it will be on its way.
The majority of orders are despatched with a service which has a tracking number and requires a signature, if no-one is available to sign most courier and mail services leave a card advising where the delivery can be collected from or a number to call and reschedule delivery. This is not controlled by us but the delivery company in your country or area.
If you have paid via Paypal we will inform Paypal of any tracking numbers, otherwise will email them directly to you.
We use various delivery services and we ship from various different international offices.
UPS (United Parcel Service)
The company with the big brown box vans, very efficient, they have a tracking which looks like 1Z5042V16894265939 you can copy/paste the tracking number into their online portal here.
Registered Mail from our Spanish Offices
We use the registered mail service of many countries meaning that a tracking number and signature is required.
If your tracking number ends in ES like this RR123456789ES it was shipped from our Spanish office and can be tracked by copy/pasting the tracking number in here. This will track it until it leaves Spain. Selecting the destination country from the same page will forward you to the mail service website of the destination country where, a few days after leaving Spain, the package will then be available to see online for the last part of it's journey.
Registered Mail from our UK Offices
If your tracking number ends in GB like this RR123456789GB it was shipped from our UK office, the same applies here in that the UK Royal Mail website here
United States Parcel Service
Some orders from the USA may go via USPS.
If your delivery is to an address in the USA it's probably shipping via USPS and it can be tracked online here.
Deliveries and Non Deliveries
The vast majority of our consumer products have shipping costs included. However, if we are required to ship outside of Europe an extra cost applies. In all cases this is clearly shown. Exceptions to this would be wholesale arrangements where we would quote if the shipping is paid for by the buyer and that the price may be out of our control. Our preferred method of shipping is with Royal Mail Certified Mail having a delivery time of approximately 3 days to most UK locations, about 5-7 days to EU locations and 7-10 days outside of the EU. Your statutory rights are not affected.
Signed For Deliveries
Most deliveries will require a signature, it is important the buyer ensures that there will be someone available at their specified delivery address to accept and sign for the parcel. If the buyer chooses to have their parcel delivered to a work address they must state this in the delivery address when an order is placed. We may, according to the advice or limitations of our business partners or our insurers, be unable to use any address which is not registered with those entities if they are processing the payment. Most couriers will make one delivery attempt only, after which the parcel will be held at their local depot for collection. Warranty periods begin on the date of receipt of delivery.
Signing For a Delivery
Once a courier arrives to deliver a parcel, a signature confrims that responsibility has been accepted and that the goods have not been damaged in transit (DIT). When the parcels are dispatched the courier company check that the packaging is secure and there are no leaks or any apparent damage. That is how we expect them to be delivered to our customers. Courrier companies discharge this responsibility by asking for a signature to release the goods of their duty. If goods are found to be damaged and the choice is made to accept the parcel a note should be made when signing that the parcel is damaged. The recipient has the right to inspect what is being signed for.
Refusing Delivery of Signed-For Goods
If acceptance of a delivery is refused because of aparent damage we will seek compensation and resend the goods at no extra charge. If delivery is refused for any other reason any resulting charges would be the responsibility of the buyer and they would have to cover any incurred costs associated with the situation and accept any resulting delays. That could include the package being returned to us and resent or extra costs charged by the courier service. If there is a refusal to accept the additional charges we would have the delivery returned to us and refund the original payment minus a fair and reasonable shipping and handling charge.
It is essential that a correct and complete delivery address is provided. If a parcel fails to be delivered due to an incomplete or incorrect address the buyer will be required to cover any incurred costs associated with the situation and accept any resulting delays. That could include the package being returned to us and resent or extra costs charged by the courier service. If there a refusal to accept the additional charges we would have the delivery returned to us and the original payment refunded minus a fair and reasonable shipping and handling charge.
Lost In Transit
Things get lost in the post. If a parcel is lost in the post and it is not the buyer's fault there will be no penalties. We would anticipate the buyer's assistance in confirming non-delivery but if it didn't arrive that is our matter to settle with the courier and in due course a replacement product will be sent.
Our Fair and Reasonable Refund Policy
We aim to keep our published information about our products clear and accurate, we also strive to keep the promises which we make in our sales literature. If the buyer has carefully considered their purchase they should receive what they anticipated within the agreed time frame. At this point most buyers have achieved their goals and begin the happy productive use of their purchase. However, there are occaisions when this is not always the case. These exceptions are detailed below.
Unwanted Items
If for any reason the buyer changes their mind about an item they have ordered they must notify us as soon as possible. UK regulations stataes the your right to cancel an order starts the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive it. It is accepted that after informing us you have a further fourteen days for you to return the unwanted goods. However, you must ensure you obtain proof of posting the goods back to us. The goods must be returned to us at our Coventry offices at the buyer's own expense.
If you return goods, please retain proof of posting from your local Post Office. You will be responsible for the returned products until they reach us.
Specific to the types of products that we specialise in, for reasons of personal hygiene and safety we are unable to offer a refund or exchange on our intimate products if packaging is opened. Would you want to use a sponge, a diaphragm or a menstrual cup that another customer had opened and returned?
We expect items returned to us to be in good condition and in an unused state complete with packaging and all components. In particular this means that you will:
- - not to break any manufacturers seals
- - not load software onto any computer, PC or laptop
- - return in good condition all packaging, manuals, cables, etc.
- - return the goods in a condition that would enable RDO Medical to resell them as new.
- - return the goods within 28 days of receipt, having informed us of your intention within 14 days.
- - items that are returned soiled or damaged or don't comply with the above notes will be rejected and returned to you without refund. .
If the above apply then you will recieve a refund of the price paid for that product, excluding fair and reasonable postage and handling fees where applicable. Where possible your refund will be credited back onto the same card or account that you used when you placed your original order.
This does not affect the buyer's Statutory Rights.
Faulty or Damaged Goods
We try and ensure that all our stock reaches the buyer in good condition and working order. Most of our products are dipatched using a "signed-for" service. When a package is signed for it must be clear to all parties what is being signed for. For instance, if a package is delivered that appears to be squashed, visibly broken or wet we would ask that receipt is refused, at which point the mail service will return it to us and we will arrange for a replacement to be sent.
If part of an order is faulty, damaged or incorrect, we will either replace it free of charge, repair it free of charge or offer a full refund dependng on the nature of the problem, the elapsed time and the product. We will discuss the available options with the buyer upon receipt of the complaint. We would request that we are informed within 7 working days of inital receipt if such a return is needed although we accept that not all faults are immediate and that it will take a reasonable amount of time for us to receive the goods back. We are always happy to discuss an amicable solution to any such problems.
This does not affect the buyer's Statutory Rights.

Rheem Heat PumpPosted on 10/10/14 by admin
3 Reasons To Switch From A Traditional Furnace To A Rheem Heat Pump
There was a point in time where virtually every home in America was heated by a traditional furnace system. While these furnaces come in a variety of different makes and models, all of these furnaces work in virtually the same exact way. Consequently, all of these furnaces have the same exact flaws which can often result in the homeowner spending a small fortune on their heating costs. Luckily, nowadays there are other options which homeowners can choose from when searching for a new heating system. One of these options is to install a Rheem pump rather than purchasing a new traditional furnace. Below are three reasons why it is important to switch from a traditional furnace to a Rheem heat pump.
To start with a Rheem heat pump, there is no need to purchase separate heating and cooling systems. This is because it can be used to both heat and cool your home. This means that you will not be required to house both a large traditional furnace and a sizable air conditioning unit as well. This can be an incredibly important benefit for individuals who live in small homes or apartments, and do not have a large amount of space which they can dedicate to a heating and cooling system. This is also quite beneficial for people who are looking to save money on the purchase price of a new heating and cooling system. This is because while a heat pump certainly will cost you more than a traditional furnace, the cost of this heat pump pales in comparison to the purchase price of an entire traditional heating and cooling system.
Secondly you will enjoy much lower monthly energy bills when you choose to switch to a Rheem heat pump. This is because it does not require any combustible fuel in order to heat the air within your home. Instead, this heat pump works simply by converting the mechanical energy created by the pump into thermal energy which can be used to keep your home at a comfortable temperature year round. The best part it, this process will require only a minimal amount of electricity in order to keep the pump running. This means that you can expect a monthly energy bill which is around 75% less than what you are used to seeing with a traditional furnace. This decrease in your monthly energy bills can also help to make up for the slightly higher purchase price that comes with installing it in your home.
Finally a Rheem heat pump will last considerably longer than any traditional furnace that you can buy. Depending upon the type of fuel source your traditional furnaces uses, you can expect a traditional furnace to last anywhere from ten to twenty years. A heat pump on the other hand is projected to last at least thirty years. This means that you will get as much as three times as much service from your heat pump than you can expect from a traditional furnace. When you take this extended lifespan into consideration, the initial investment required to install a heat pump begins to look far more reasonable. After all, a single heat pump is certainly far less expensive than purchasing three separate furnaces. This does not even begin to take into account the investment that three air conditioning units would require of you, or the convenience that having the same heating and cooling system for several decades can provide you.
Essential Care Of HVACPosted on 10/10/14 by admin
Essential Care for Your Heating,Ventilating and Air Conditioner System
Whether it is summer or winter, you ought to have an air conditioner because it is no longer a luxurious item but a mandatory. HVAC system has become part and parcel of every household. It is essential to know about the benefits that the air conditioner offers at your home. Having that in mind, to get the most from your hvac system, it is best if you have an understanding of the following ideas and tips for the care of the air conditioner;
Check if it's Cooling Operation is Efficient
To get a glimpse of this is simple as all that you need to do is to do a comparison of the air entering in and out of the air conditioner. The air blowing in and out of the vent should be determined. The difference in degrees should range between 15 and 18. If the Freon level is low, this should be indicated by low difference. If it is the opposite, that should be a clogged filter signal.
Filter Change after 3 Months
It is recommended that you change the air filter of the hvac after three(3) months and that is not an option but mandatory. Most people usually install a new one when summer starts which is very OK. You can then do it again when the same number of months is over. Places with a lot of dust or wind should have the air filter changed even before the three (3) months is over.
Always Prioritize on Pleated Filters
Even though they are expensive, pleated filter is worth having. Why? They are not only efficient when cooling or heating the house but will not become faulty that easy.
The Temperature of the Thermostat
It should be at the normal level. People always make a mistake of keeping the thermostat level at all high low. The problem of doing this is that it will not improve the rate of cooling the house but will make the air conditioner to operate for long than should be.
Avoid Leaks
The duct that you use should be a durable one to avoid every now and then of inspection. Why should you inspect the ducts from the attic many times yet a special one can relieve you from that? Metal ducts should be used more often than the flexible ones because they cannot easily leak.
The above are some of the many ways that you should know if you want to get the most from your hvac system. Furthermore,if you adhere to these simple tips and tricks, your house will forever remain welcoming.
Heating and Air Conditioning: Why Servicing is Just as Important as the Units ThemselvesPosted on 03/03/14 by admin
Heating and Air Conditioning: Why Servicing is Just as Important as the Units Themselves
Heating and air conditioning systems are part of what makes a house a home. They make a person's living space comfortable and, when serviced properly, can last many, many years. That's why it's important to make sure both are running properly, because in times of extreme heat or cold, the last thing anyone wants is to have their furnace or air conditioning unit fail.
When a heating or cooling system is neglected, it can lead to several problems in the household, including excessive energy consumption, fire hazards, improper air flow, heating and cooling inefficiencies, and the breakdown of the unit before its time. The "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality is a common mindset, but it can cost the homeowner in the long run. From costly repairs to complete replacement of the systems, this should serve as an important reminder that proper service is just as important as the unit itself. When a residential heating and cooling unit fails, it isn't always because of a mechanical defect or because a unit has exhausted its lifespan; often times it is because they have not been serviced properly.
Air conditioners and furnaces should be professionally serviced annually to ensure proper function during their peak seasons. Generally, this means spring and fall, because servicing should ideally occur just before the season of use – which also happens to coincide with the period in which Daylight Savings time kicks in. So, while many people change their smoke detectors by the national time-change schedule, it is also serves as a good reminder for servicing furnaces and air conditioners as well.
While it is recommended that residential furnaces and air conditioners be serviced every year before their seasonal use, there are things that a homeowner can be doing on their own – like changing out the filters and checking to see that the thermostat is working properly. If excessive heating and cooling (or lack of) occurs, it may only be the thermostat that needs replacing. Both may be picked up at any home improvement store.
Overlooking basic maintenance when it comes to residential heating and air conditioning isn't uncommon. But, the fact is, those who regularly service their systems pay less in energy costs, repairs, and get more out of their heating and cooling systems overall. Professional servicing is the best way to ensure homeowners not only get extended life out of their units, but that they are functioning properly as well.

Furnace Service on a regular basisPosted on 03/03/14 by admin
Furnace Service on a regular basis
A furnace needs to be monitored annually. A furnace that is not checked on a regular basis can cause carbon monoxide poisoning. A number of consumers are looking for parity when it comes to their heating bills. A neighbor that is checking their furnace on a regular basis may have a lower heating bill. EnergyStar approved appliances can also make a difference as well. The efficiency associated with an appliance is going to make a big difference in the long run.
An owner of a furnace may need to change their furnace filter on a regular basis. The process can be about cleaning the air on a regular basis. Particles of dust can lead to true challenges as you try to find a way to breathe. Industrial working sites need to have an operating furnace so employees can be happy with their overall work environment. The temperature of that work environment can make a big difference when it comes to employee morale.
A number of environmental agencies promote the idea of changing your furnace filter on a regular basis. A homeowner should know that if they don't check their filter or alter their HVAC system on a regular basis, we could see those facing different upper respiratory problems. Filters are a big part of proper Furnace Service.
Energy costs can be a big problem for a small business owner. If you are able to find a durable energy system, you can deal with different inventory issues with a more efficient system. \Proper Furnace Service makes a lot of sense.
The vents that are associated with a heater need to work properly. The best vents are not going to be cracked. A temperature control and a remote can be vital to the overall success of a furnace. A remote that does not work as a part of an unchecked furnace could cost you money or make your residence unsafe.
Plaque can build up inside of a furnace. You want to make sure that the scrubbing of a furnace is done by someone that truly knows what they are doing. The plaque that can build up inside a furnace will make you realize what kind of dangerous toxins can be placed into the air. The motor associated with a furnace can simply run for too long without maintenance. Preventative care is going to be helpful. It is not economically feasible to constantly call in a technician to make large repairs on a furnace. A smart homeowner will keep track of their own furnace, limiting the overall cost of that furnace service

Firmware update failed for me, too. I hope this gets solved, because I really would like the "bin play" option.
Whats new then in this release ? There is nothing in the version log at the forum. Nothing informative at the youtube channel and nothing in the changelog. Why is this so hard ?

The largest research program in the natural and applied sciences among undergraduate institutions nationwide capped another active summer with a celebration of the people and projects that have kept the college's laboratories busy since the school year ended in May.
The largest research program in the natural and applied sciences among undergraduate institutions nationwide capped another active summer with a celebration of the people and projects that have kept the college's laboratories busy since the school year ended in May.
Some 177 students have conducted research collaboratively with close to 50 members of the natural and applied sciences faculty at Hope this summer. The total includes not only Hope students but also 26 students from other colleges and universities as well as 23 area high school students who participated through Project REACH (Research Experience Across Cultures at Hope). The REACH representation also included two high school teachers.
The division held its fifth annual undergraduate research celebration on Thursday, July 8, at the Haworth Inn and Conference Center. Those attending this year's SURF (Summer Undergraduate Research Function) event included the students who conducted research this summer as well as their faculty mentors, other members of the campus community, and friends of the college and community leaders.
The event featured special presentations regarding a variety of programs at Hope that emphasize increasing participation in STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields in college among those who come from backgrounds underrepresented in STEM careers. Dr. Karen Nordell Pearson, associate professor of chemistry, director of the Midstates Consortium and director of the REACH (Research Experiences Across Cultures at Hope) program for high school students, discussed REACH and REACH2. Dr. Kenneth Brown, associate professor of chemistry, discussed the Community Colleges Undergraduate Research Collaborative. Anna Bonnema, who is director of the college's Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) Mentoring Program, discussed serving as a diversity mentor.
The event also included presentations concerning research by students representing each of the division's eight departments: biology, senior Emily Leathly of Livonia, whose mentor is Dr. Greg Fraley, associate professor of biology; chemistry, senior David Todd of Lansing, whose mentor is Dr. Jeff Johnson, assistant professor of chemistry and Towsley Research Scholar; computer science, sophomore Nick Hazekamp of Janesville, Wis., whose mentor is Dr. Matt DeJongh, associate professor of computer science; engineering, Benjamin Barkel, a member of the Class of 2010 from Birmingham, whose mentor is Dr. Roger Veldman, professor of engineering; geological and environmental science, junior Dean Hazle of East Grand Rapids, whose mentor is Dr. Edward Hansen, professor of geology and environmental science; mathematics, Brad Pearson of Temecula, Calif., a visiting student from Westmont College, whose mentor is Dr. Aaron Cinzori, associate professor of mathematics and chairperson of the department; nursing, senior Angela Martinez of Holland, whose mentor is Dr. Nancy Barnum, assistant professor of nursing; and physics, junior Sarah Prill of Rochester Hills, whose mentor is Dr. Paul DeYoung, who is the Kenneth G. Herrick Professor of Physics and chairperson of the department.
Learning through research has been a teaching philosophy at the college for more than half a century. The late Dr. Gerrit Van Zyl, who taught chemistry at the college from 1923 to 1964, is widely recognized for developing research-based learning at Hope in its modern sense. More than 100 years ago, biologist Dr. Samuel O. Mast had designed research laboratory space for the college's Van Raalte Hall, which opened in 1903.
Hope has received recognition in a variety of ways through the years for its model of teaching through collaborative faculty-student research.
Hope holds five awards through the National Science Foundation's "Research Experiences for Undergraduates" program, in biology, chemistry, computer science, mathematics and physics. Among all institutions nationwide, including major research universities, fewer than a dozen hold more of the grants.
According to Research Crossroads, Hope has received more federal grants since 1992 than any undergraduate institution in Michigan and more than all but six Ph.D.-granting universities. Hope is the only college or university in the country to have received "Beckman Scholar Award" support for student research from the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Foundation of Irvine, Calif., since the foundation began the program in 1998.
For the past eight years, since the category debuted, the "America's Best Colleges" guide published by "U.S. News and World Report" has included Hope on its listing of fewer than three dozen institutions that it cites as exceptional for their emphasis on undergraduate research and creative projects. The guide also includes Hope among the top 100 national liberal arts colleges in the U.S.

In the most devastating scene of Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman," a young businessman named Howard fires Willy Loman, even though the past-his-prime salesman knew his new boss when Howard was still a baby. At least Willy gets his pink slip while sitting in an office. No such dignified consideration is afforded Margaret, the 50ish central character in David Lindsay-Abaire's superbly written play about class loyalty and warfare in South Boston. Margaret gets fired from her $9-something-an-hour job in a Dollar Store while meeting with her callow kid-boss in an alley. The poor, tardy woman gets terminated while standing next to a trash bin.
Such is the lot of the working-class, poorly educated, debt-strapped new American worker. And whatever your demographic or background, you can't watch that scene, one of the best opening scenes of any new Broadway drama these past few years, without thinking about whether some version of this, one day, will happen to you.
No wonder Margaret, a proud Southie who has a disabled kid at home and years of struggle behind her, is angry. And as performed by Mariann Mayberry in a blisteringly complex performance at the Steppenwolf Theatre, flowing out from the stage in great, overlapping waves of fury, resentment, fear and sheer need, Margaret is a formidable characterization that, thanks to the best writing of Lindsay-Abaire's career to date, has a searing effect on an audience, especially in a city like Chicago, with many tribal and socioeconomic commonalities with Boston. For those of us most familiar with Mayberry's spunky, sparky work in Chicago a decade or more ago, this current performance from an older woman is, frankly, a revelation. You see that same dorky playfulness and hunger for success in her eyes, but also so much more of the pain of what has and has not come to pass. She delivers, to borrow a phrase popular in Boston, one heck of a Big Dig.
When I saw "Good People" on Broadway last year — in another excellent, but tonally different, production, starring Frances McDormand — I remember thinking, just a few minutes in, that here was an ideal play for Steppenwolf, a company that could act the stuffing out of such a play, filled as it is with working-class characters and, antagonistically, a guy from the old neighborhood, Mike (Keith Kupferer), who has made doctor-good but who clings to respectability and his posh, perspicacious wife, Kate (Alana Arenas), with thin fingernails, ever-terrified that his inner Southie beast suddenly will emerge.
That is exactly what has happened: K. Todd Freeman's fiery production is less polished than the Broadway original, and notably more aggressive and raw. The humor in the piece is less evident, but its more fatalistic themes are amplified and the great intimacy possible at Steppenwolf connects this fine American play more intensely to the audience, who, at Saturday night's performance, was interrupting Act 2 events with gasps and other noises, coming darn close to expressing a desire for some collective intervention.
Steppenwolf's weird, bingo-ball poster image notwithstanding, "Good People" really is a meditation on a turn of phrase that themed a night of the recent Republican National Convention, "We Built It," itself a response to President Barack Obama's recent statement that "If you've got a business — you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen." After the cash-strapped, unemployed Margaret decides to go find Mike and beg for a job from him, she finds a man who says, in essence, that he built his life by himself, through hard work, entrepreneurship and good choices. He contrasts that with the chaotic Margaret's inability to get her act together and, like her friends Jean (the ebullient and emotional Lusia Strus) and Dottie (a deflated Molly Regan), failing to get out of the old 'hood. Even Steve (the aptly nervous Will Allan), the manager who fires Margaret from the Dollar Store, is still by her side at Southie bingo, just a few very small wins ahead.
But with the playwright at her side, Margaret is on a mission to point out that luck and the support of a whole community played as big a part as anything in Mike's secure level of success — most notably a father who watched out for him on the tough, racially charged streets, a father she did not have herself. You certainly see where Lindsay-Abaire's sympathies lie, but this play also is a clear-eyed portrait of what holds some working-class folks back: a cycle of rough circumstances, sure, but also a lack of vision or follow-through, and although Lindsay-Abaire himself grew up poor in South Boston, he still is able to probe the dark side of an inward-turning community that can resent success as much as it hates outsiders.
These kinds of class-driven, realistic plays are tough to write in a way that the plot holds together, but you won't ever find yourself ahead of events in "Good People," which Lindsay-Abaire has structured with a mystery that unravels and then closes up, only to unravel again, and then again, in an entirely different direction. Unpretentious in its structure and compassionate in notion, this is a well-made play, in the best sense of the term, driven by wrenching confrontations. Those conversations are blistering throughout, whether it's Mayberry taking on Arenas, an actress who can hold her fire for long, long minutes only to unleash ballistic-type weapons when pushed, or the lower-key Kupferer turning beet-red in the face when cornered, or Strus fighting almost to the death for a friend she serves better than that friend realizes. Filled with good people, this is a play toward which one leans in, feeling for all these fearful characters and scared yourself of the perhaps-inexorable changes in their world.

What makes 25G a logical speed choice for migration of next generation server and storage? By Val on 07/18/2018
There are two major advantages of 25G technology. First, by offering a single-lane 25Gbps variant, 25G allows for optimization of the bandwidth available from switch-fabric design, which is typically viewed from a per-pin and therefore per-lane standpoint. And the other major advantage is it takes existing module form factors and optical plants factors, such as SFP28 and QSFP28, and allows for a breakout connection that is configurable as either 25G per lane or the full 100G without changing the port on the front of switches and the wholes physical infrastructure.

Transfiguration: The Mystic Initiation, raising the vibratory rate of balance of Substance of coarse, physical cells to the inner, radiant electronic or fire body. The Seeds of change have been planted within each one of us. We are about to undergo the first stage in human Evolution. We will learn to unlock the dormant strands in our DNA, gain healing and telepathic abilities, and finally reunite with our ancestors from the stars.

A Sri Yantra is the sound vibration of the cosmic om seen as a visual diagram. It is said that when monks have chanted aum (or om) this pattern manifests, astrally and on the physical plane. Sri Yantras are made of 9 interlacing triangles - 4 upward representing the male principle and 5 downward representing the female principle. Together, they represent the non-static, vibrating, creative force of the universe. The point in the center or Bindu, represents the point of creative manifestation - the seed core behind time and space, Shiva and Shakti ( male and female energies) united in bliss. Meditation on the bindu takes the devotee to another dimension beyond form and formlessness. It is considered the mother of all mandalas.
"This is the way the world ends, not with a whimper, but a bang."
El Paso (Where your Psychonaut was Born) and Abilene, Texas have fallen victim to twin nuclear attacks on July 4, 2005 -- a catastrophe of unimaginable proportions which has sent America into World War III. The PATRIOT Act has extended authority to a new agency known as US-IDent, which keeps constant tabs on citizens -- even to the extent of censoring the internet and using fingerprints in order to access computers and bank accounts. In order to be able to respond to a newfound fuel shortage in the wake of global warfare, the German company Treer designs a generator of inexhaustible energy which is propelled by ocean currents, called "Fluid Karma." Unbeknownst to them, the generators alter the currents and cause the Earth to slow its rotation, ripping holes in the fabric of space and time.

Infertility means not being able to make a baby. Your doctor usually won't say you have infertility until you've tried for at least a year to get pregnant.
It can be caused by problems inside the woman's body or the man's body. But sometimes no cause can be found.
Being told that you have this problem doesn't necessarily mean that you will never get pregnant. Often, couples eventually conceive without help. But medical treatments do help many couples.

Best hotels in Malaga
The birthplace of iconic artist Pablo Picasso, Malaga is the capital of the Province of Malaga in Andalusia, Spain. It lies on the Costa del Sol of the Mediterranean Sea and enjoys one of the mildest winters in Europe. Malaga is also the source of a popular dessert wine of the same name, that is made from the Moscatel and Pedro Ximenez grape varieties. With a colorful history going back almost 3,000 years, Malaga has several archeological monuments that bear the influence of the cultures that dominated the different eras of its existence. To this day, Phoenician, Roman, Arabic and Christian monuments abound in the center of the city. Hotels.com has a list of Malaga hotels that will place you right in the heart of this ancient land. Choose the one that best suits your travel plans and budget.
What's Malaga Like?
There are several locations in Malaga that have a direct link to its most famous native son. You can see the house where Picasso was born at Plaza de la Merced or visit the church where he was baptized, the Iglesia de Santiago on Calle Granada. This church is also Malaga's oldest church dating back to the late 1400's. It displays an eclectic mix of architectural styles with both Gothic and Mudejar influences clearly evident. If you're an ardent admirer of Picasso, the Museo Picasso Malaga is a must-see. It houses a large collection of the artist's works and can be found in the Palacio de los Condes de Buenavista. One of Malaga's most famous landmarks, La Alcazaba is a Moorish fortress that enjoys a commanding view of the sea. It was originally built around 750 AD to defend the town against pirates. It has suffered some neglect and decay in its centuries of existence and has been rebuilt several times by different rulers. It has recently been carefully restored and is now in a well-preserved state. At the foot of La Alcazaba is another famous city attraction, El Teatro Romano. It is the oldest monument in Malaga. Buried and forgotten under five centuries of history, it was rediscovered in 1951. A decades-long restoration process soon began. Today, El Teatro Romano is once again open to the public and is the site of a number of performances from well-known Spanish and world-class artists. Any one of the Malaga hotels in Hotels.com's website is an excellent location to begin your exploration of these and other Malaga attractions.

Well, the very next day Amazon launched this service, called Elastic Block Store (EBS). So in this post I thought I'd sketch out how an elastic Hadoop might work.
A bit of background. Currently there are three main ways to use Hadoop with AWS:
1. MapReduce with S3 source and sink
In this set up, the data resides on S3, and the MapReduce daemons run on a temporary EC2 cluster for the duration of the job run. This works, and is especially convenient if you've already store your data on S3, but you don't get any data locality. Data locality is what enables the magic of MapReduce to work efficiently - the computation is scheduled to run on the machine where the data is stored, so you get huge savings in not having to ship terabytes of data around the network. EC2 does not share nodes with S3 storage, in fact they are often in different data centres, so performance is nowhere near as good as a regular Hadoop cluster where the data in stored in HDFS (see 3. below).
It's not all doom and gloom, as the bandwidth between EC2 and S3 is actually pretty good, as Rightscale found when they did some measurements.
2. MapReduce from S3 with HDFS staging
Data is stored on S3 but copied to a temporary HDFS cluster running on EC2. This is just a variation of the previous set-up, which is good if you want to run several jobs against the same input data. You save by only copying the data across the network once, but you pay a little more due to HDFS replication.
The bottleneck is still copying the data out of S3. (Copying the results back into S3 isn't usually as bad as the output is often an order or two of magnitude smaller than the input.)
3. HDFS on Amazon EC2
Of course, you could just run a Hadoop cluster on EC2 and store your data there (and not in S3). In this scenario, you are committed to running your EC2 cluster long term, which can prove expensive, although the locality is excellent.
These three scenarios demonstrate that you pay for locality. However, there is a gulf between S3 and local disks that EBS fills nicely. EBS does not have the bandwidth of local disks, but it's significantly better than S3. Rightscale again:
The bottom line though is that performance exceeds what we've seen for filesystems striped across the four local drives of x-large instances.
Implementing Elastic Hadoop
The main departure from the current Hadoop on EC2 approach is the need to maintain a map from storage volume to node type: i.e. we need to remember which volume is a master volume (storing the namenode's data) and which is a worker volume (storing the datanode's data). It would be nice if you could just start up EC2 instances for all the volumes, and have them figure out which is which, but this might not work as the master needs to be started first so its address can be given to the workers in their user data. (This choreography problem could be solved by introducing ZooKeeper, but that's another story.) So for a first cut, we could simply keep two files (locally, or on S3 or even SimpleDB) called master-volumes, and worker-volumes, which simply list the volume IDs for each node type, one per line.
Assume there is one master running the namenode and jobtracker, and n worker nodes each running a datanode and tasktracker.
To create a new cluster
- Create n + 1 volumes.
- Create the master-volumes file and write the first volume ID into it.
- Create the worker-volumes file and write the remaining volume IDs to it.
- Follow the steps for starting a cluster.
- Start the master instance passing it the master-volumes as user data. On startup the instance attaches to the volume it was told to. It then formats the namenode if it isn't already formatted, then starts the namenode, secondary namenode and jobtracker.
- Start n worker instances passing it the worker-volumes as user data. On startup each instance attaches to the volume on line i, where i is the ami-launch-index of the instance. Each instance then starts a datanode and tasktacker.
- If any worker instances failed to start then launch them again.
- Shutdown the Hadoop cluster daemons.
- Detach the EBS volumes.
- Shutdown the EC2 instances.
- Create m new volumes, where m is the size to grow by.
- Append the m new volume IDs to the worker-volumes file.
- Start m worker instances passing it the worker-volumes as user data. On startup each instance attaches to the volume on line n + i, where i is the ami-launch-index of the instance. Each instance then starts a datanode and tasktacker.
Building this would be a great project to work on - I hope someone does it!

Michael Bay is taking a brief break from his widely successful Transformers franchise with the release of his black comedy Pain & Gain on April 26, 2013. After that, he'll return for the as-of-yet-untitled Transformers 4 on June 27, 2014 and, in a new interview with The Huffington Post the blockbuster director discusses both projects.
"I thought I was done," he recalls of previous claims that Transformers: Dark of the Moon would be his final entry into the franchise. "Then the ride came out and the two-and-a-half-hour lines. And then you're thinking, 'Oh my God, someone's going to take this over?' And you start doing a lot of soul-searching I'm thinking that if I do this last one, we set it on a new footing and we change a lot of things, but we keep the history of the three in place. But we broaden it so it can be set up and be carried on — it would have a better chance for survival, I guess The bottom line is, when you go to Universal Studios and you have the two-and-a-half-hour line, it's hard to give it up. You birth a baby and you want to carry it on."
Bay goes on to explain that this is "probably" his last Transformers and teases a bit about the direction Ehren Kruger is taking the screenplay.
"We're basically taking from the history of where it was, or where we left it in Chicago," he says. "And we're going to carry it on from there."
Previous reports have suggested that the fourth film will include a brand new cast of both human and robot characters. Check back for more details as they become available!

The danger is not over once the fire front has passed. People are keen to return to their properties to see what's left, but they could still be risking their health long after the flames are gone.

As the immediate threat from bushfires eases across Tasmania, people are wanting to return to their properties to see what's left and to start the clean up and rebuilding process.
But bushfires don't stop being dangerous when the flames are gone. Many injuries occure long after the fire front has passed.
Get the information you need
The Bushfire Recovery page contains links and phone numbers for people affected by bushfires, with the latest advice and information on what to do. There is also information and links to those who would like to help.
The Tasmanian Fire Service website has the latest bushfire warnings and the Tasmania Police website has the latest information on road closures due to fire activity.
"We know from the Victorian experience with bushfires that there's like a second wave of potential injuries," says Dr Roscoe Taylor, Director of Public Health Tasmania.
Dr Taylor says it's common for people to get hurt after fires, from cuts from broken glass and damaged materials to burns from turning over smoldering objects.
"And then there is the longer term harm you might get, such as from asbestos fibres."
Asbestos is known to be in some of the buildings that have been damaged by fire, meaning fibres could be exposed, causing an issue for people's long-term health during the clean up. Areas where asbestos is present will need to be cleaned up with caution and making sure to wet down the area to stop the fibres from spreading in the air.
There's also a chance of contact with wildlife, such as snakes, that have also been displaced and distressed by the fires.
Dr Taylor says people also need to take care of their mental health, as the distress from being in the bushfire area can cause issues for some people who are already stressed by the situation.
Dr Taylor says the Department of Public Health's role is to provide people with the information they need to protect themselves, as well as providing some practical assistance, such as in the form of kits which include things such as protective masks to protect from dangerous fibres, gloves, overalls and garbage bags to help people be safe as they clean up.
"These kits are very generously being provided to us from the Victorian Health Department who had some left over from their bushfires."
The areas affected by the bushfires are mostly not connected to mains water, with people relying on rainwater tanks as their water supply. Water tank contamination is a concern.
Dr Taylor says people should clean their roofs down, diverting the water away from the tank, before the next rains, so avoid contamining from chemicals and animals and to clean out the taste of ash and burnt material that collects on roofs.
Things such as septic tanks can be weakened in extreme heat and people will need to take care not to walk or drive over septic tanks in the affected areas as they could break.
Dr Taylor says people wanting to return to their properties need to check first that it's safe to do so by checking with Tasmania Police and by finding information on the Department of Premier and Cabinet Bushfire Recovery page.
"There is information, make sure that you've got it.
"Take stock of the situation just before you start rumuging around in the properties and potentially causing harm.
"It's a straight forward message."
The Australian Red Cross has setup an official Tasmanian Bushfire Appeal with all donations going those affected by the fires to help them rebuild their lives.

If you're too lazy to do anything big this Valentine's Day, one simple solution is to run a bath for you and your partner – or just for yourself!
Cleopatra was a big fan of the rose, and ensured her banqueting hall was filled with two feet of fragrant roses for Mark Anthony's first visit from Rome. If you fancy following in the Pharaoh's footsteps, then I recommend using Ancienne Ambience's beautifully scented Mini Rosa Bath Salts, £4 from ancienneambiance.com.
Before bathing, set the mood with the huge Red Heart Rose Candle pictured below, £32, also by Ancienne Ambience. The candle is created with the softest rose fragrance, which is reminiscent of roses from ancient Damascus where for centuries the Damask Rose was a symbol of beauty and love. Can't get much more romantic than that.
Once you're out of the bath, lather yourself with Arbonne's luxurious Aromassentials Unwind Massage Oil. I absolutely love this product as it boasts a calming yet refreshing scent thanks to its camomile and ylang ylang ingredients. Its silky texture feels lovely when massaged into your skin, too. I suffer from psoriasis and find this oil particularly soothing for affected areas. Available for £29 from arbonneinternational.co.uk.
Another nice, relaxing product is Petits JouJoux's aramomatherapy candle which doubles up as massage oil. The candle, which has a lovely scent, comes in a pretty white ceramic container with a discreet spout. The wax melts into a warm massage oil ready to use on either your own skin or your partner's – or both!
I was surprised the first time I used this product as I was expecting the oil to be piping hot, but once you extinguish the flame you can pour the warm oil straight onto skin. The oil contains nourishing ingredients such as jojoba oil and shea butter which leave your skin feeling soft and moisturised. Prices start at £14.99 and there are six scents to choose from in total. Available to buy from Nice'n'Naughty and La Coquette.
For more sinfully satisfying products, read the rest of Yesterface's Valentine's Day Beauty Guide as inspired by the Seven Deadly Sins.

It's an action packed week this week, so I'm sneaking out from behind all the piles of stuff that usually prevent me from reaching my keyboard to point at things and go "that looks fun!" while you all ignore me because no one even kids on to read the blog anymore, with good reason.
You may detect a hint of smugness through this blog entry. Loads of the bands playing this week have done Aye Tunes gigs before, proving that not every band that does one then splits up or plummets to failure.
My handsome Welsh friends FALLS, who played up here for a gig the other week for me that was, happily, not a financial disaster, have released their very first proper EP today. You can get a copy of Dirtbox here, as a pay what you want download.
The Spook School play Edinburgh, with Heathers and Dora Maar. That's at Sneaky Pete's.
The Spook School play Glasgow! This is more exciting to me, since I'll be going. Me missing The Spook School in Glasgow is a rare occurrence. They'll be bringing Heathers with them to The Roxy 171, where they'll be joined by Mistake Pageant and old pal of the blog Kevin P. Gilday. Many years ago Kev & The Spook School both did a gig together for me, so I'm going to claim all the credit for this, even though it doesn't belong to me.
Campfires In Winter play at Bar Bloc, in what they say will be their last headline gig in Glasgow for a while. Go see them while you have a chance then. Also stick a note in your diary that there's a new Campfires single coming out on the 12th of May and keep a few quid ready for that.
The Last Battle have been working on their second album for what feels like an eternity. Their Chinese Democracy is finally ready for public consumption – and very enjoyable an album it is too. This is the first of their album launches, taking place at The Roxy 171. Support comes from Neil from Meursault and Adam from Randolph's Leap. Lay Your Burden Down, the new The Last Battle album, is available here.
Edinburgh gets a chance to in in on The Last Battle album launches. They'll be at the Liquid Rooms, joined by Lidh and J. Wright Presents.
Back in Glasgow it's another album launch, as Poor Things through a party to welcome their first, self titled, album into the World. Helping them party down at Stereo are the fantastic Book Group, who have a new EP of their own imminent, and the far from shabby Secret Motorbikes. You can get tickets, or a ticket and album bundle for the gig here.
"Jim, how can we end such a fun packed happy week?" you ask? Well, how about going to see anther of the blog favourite bands play their last gig? That's right, those bastards A Fight You Can't Win will be breathing their last at Opium in Edinburgh on Saturday, with Hagana and Birdhead helping give AFYCW a fine send off. I can't make it to this because I'll be stuck at work, which will save me crying on folk on the Cowgate I suppose.

A man accused of stalking "Law and Order SVU" actress Kathryn Erbe is now facing federal charges in New York.
Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn filed new charges against Charles Nagel, which carry up to 5 years in prison if he's convicted.
Nagel was arrested in March in Philadelphia for allegedly harassing the tv actress. Erbe, who has a residence in Brooklyn, had complained to authorities Nagel followed her to tv shoots and frequently sent her troubling notes and letters.
The suspect is charged with 'the intent to harass and to cause substantial emotional distress to a person in another state.' Investigators said he used a computer as well to try to contact the actress as well.
Nagel reportedly harassed a minor more than a decade ago and is now in FBI custody in Philadelphia. He is expected to soon be sent to Brooklyn to face the federal charges.
