No answers given for broken neck after Elliot Hospital incident
"What we want is the truth. That's all I want is the truth. I don't want somebody pulling my friggin' leg all the time," Ornelas added.
At the time, no one told her or other family members Ornelas allegedly attacked a security officer about 7:25 p.m. Oct. 16 and the two exchanged punches in the secure psychiatric unit until the guard subdued Ornelas.
In statements issued this week, Elliot said how Ornelas sustained the injuries "is unknown to us."
Fern Ornelas remains on a breathing tube at Massachusetts General Hospital where doctors there also have tried to learn when his neck broke because the length of time that elapsed from the time he was injured to when he arrived at the Boston hospital is crucial to determine the extent of damage and a prognosis, John Ornelas said.
The incident has incited an outcry in the community where Fern Ornelas is a friendly, familiar figure to many on the East Side. The 1977 Memorial High School graduate's standout pitching won him a college scholarship. He also golfs regularly at Derryfield Country Club where he is a member. He worked part time as seafood manager at Shaw's Supermarket on South Willow Street until he was laid off when the store closed this summer, friends said.
Fern Ornelas is being held without bail and remains under corrections department custody.
Elliot Hospital said it has an "excellent relationship" with Boston hospitals and defended security officer Lawrence Bolduc for using proper training tactics to subdue Ornelas and "protect the lives" of other patients and staff in the emergency department.
"There might have been one or two incidents where they had to sedate him or put him in restraints. They've dealt with it and nobody got hurt. What's the difference now?" he asked.

About Lynn Lambert
We started going to La Manga Club when our girls were very young. The resort had everything we needed for wonderful family holidays and return visits became a must. After a few years we purchased our first property ... the villa is our second property on the resort. We have all enjoyed the golf and tennis for many years but sometimes just head out to relax in the sunshine. We love sharing the villa with our family, friends and very welcome guests - many of whom visit us year after year.
Lynn Lambert purchased this villa in 2004
Why Lynn Lambert chose Monte Verde
We used to own a Los Olivos penthouse but needed more space and searched for a quieter location. The area of Monte Verde fitted the bill (being just behind Los Molinos and its windmill) and we purchased off plan. It was very exciting to watch the build. We are extremely happy with our villa and visit when we can. It is a very relaxing, safe and secure place for memorable holidays. Our many guests tell us that they also love sitting on the terrace, after their last swim of the day, enjoying the sun going down over La Manga Club and beyond. Our villa and its facilites can be enjoyed whether you are a couple, a larger family group or two families getting the chance to have a well earned holdiay together.
What makes this villa unique
Our villa is in a relaxing and peaceful spot with the most amazing views from every window or terrace...yet with everything on your doorstep for a wonderful holiday. The kitchen, living and dining areas are open plan to the dining terrace which makes for great family time...and taking in the views whether preparing food or sitting waiting for it arrive! The access to our own pool, the community pools and the indoor pool facility makes it a great base all year round. All three golf courses continue to be well maintained and highly regarded and the tennis centre and its facilities are also hard to beat. The tennis centre caters for all standards of play. For family holidays, the sport academies held during the school holidays for children and adults are very popular and they are a chance for everyone to make new friends.
Guestbook comments from the owner
We had a lovely couple of weeks, thank you. As you had promised the villa is fantastic and the setting, views and pool are superb. The kids had a great time – as did the adults! We've been to the resort a few times now so are well acquainted with the facilities which once again served us very well....I'm sure we'll be back to La Manga and would have no hesitation trying to book your villa again if its free!

He didn't win BB, but Travis still has the girl! Will it last?

Hugh Jackman, 44, has opened up about his painful battle to have children with his wife Deborra-Lee Furness, 57, revealing that she had several heartbreaking miscarriages in the early years of their marriage.
Hugh has always spoken candidly about the couple's decision to adopt their two children, son Oscar, 12, and daughter Ava, seven, after they struggled to conceive naturally.
However, he has now talked about the couple's long struggle with unsuccessful in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatments, urging other couples to talk more openly about the trauma they suffer along the way.
'Biologically, obviously, we tried and it was not happening for us and it is a difficult time,' he says. 'We did IVF and Deb had a couple of miscarriages. I'll never forget it, the miscarriage thing – it happens to one in three pregnancies, but it's very, very rarely talked about. It's almost secretive, so I hope Deb doesn't mind me bringing it up now... It's a good thing to talk about it. It's more common and it is tough. There's a grieving that you have to go through.'
Hugh insists the pain of the failed treatments disappeared as soon as he held his son for the first time, adding, 'You can't prepare for that moment. Nothing can prepare you. You can't even explain how incredible it is and that avalanche of emotion that comes and how it opens up your heart, how it frustrates you, how it angers you, how everything is just… how alive you are as a parent.'

When we last talked about the Volkswagen Touareg, we noted the new facelifted fascia, the freshened interior, the addition of ABS Plus, enhanced ESP, and most importantly, the possible addition of the 5.0-liter V10 TDI as an available engine. Despite no firm news on that front, we did see a Jetta ...

OpenVPN open to pre-auth Bash Shellshock bug – researcher
Not enabled by default
The auth-user-pass-verify option is not used by default. It is something you would need to configure. Not only that, but it has two different 'modes'. You can either pass the credentials via an environment variable, or via a temporary file. The docs have always indicated the security issues with these approaches. I'm not sure if the 'by temp file' way also sets environment variables to the shell anyway.
e.g. we use it to pass the username/password to a small python script to check the details against a RADIUS database. We use OpenBSD though, so it's a moot point anyway.
eBay head honcho: Amazon drone delivery plan is 'FANTASY'
Don't you remember when Amazon first started? Buy a book online?! wtf are you smoking?! Why the hell would someone buy a *book* from an 'online bookstore'? It seemed like a completely insane idea at the time. Yet I know from looking at the pile of Amazon branded boxes sat outside our house on recycling day how much they have changed our lives. So delivery by drones? Why not. If anyone can, I'd imagine Amazon could.

CSC axes doctor support software in the UK
Re: What's so special about software???
The difference being that when Toyota stopped manufacturing your car there were no doubt dozens of other companies out there still producing pattern and OEM parts for it for as long as the demand was there. You will find owners groups online with workshop manuals and peer support. You will find Haynes manuals, you will find youtube videos from enthusiasts.
Alas, this is changing as the automotive world gets more and more proprietary and relies more on proprietary tools and software in their vehicles to lock you into their way of doing things and only using their authorised suppliers.
With software in this case they are shipping compiled binaries. There is no source code, their is no 3rd party support groups. This is why it is so important the the NHS move more to Open Source software as it will help protect them from risks such as shown here.

History of OSS at Moorfields
Glad to see Moorfields continuing their use of OSS software. They moved to Zope for their public website about a decade ago and still using it to this day. Good to see OSS getting more recognition within actual processes within the NHS. There is quite a few case studies worldwide of using Open Source Software in this way in which one dept produces something and then others adopt it. This is really where the cost savings can be had, and you don't end up beholden to a single supplier.

GoDaddy stopped by massive DDoS attack
Just use multiple DNS servers?
This thing no-one has yet to point out is that the DNS system is already more than capable of dealing with attacks like this. It already has redundancy in place. You need to have at least 2 DNS servers for each domain. Just put those two DNS servers on different networks. Ie. have one with Go Daddy and one with someone else.
Why does no-one do this?
1) Cost. You no doubt will end up paying twice and everyone is a skinflint
2) Management. Any DNS changes will need to be made in more than one place in more than one interface on more than one system.
Alas there isn't really a secure, trusted, usable standard around for passing DNS zone information from one DNS server to another. No, zone transfers don't count.

Devil's dollars drive open source
FreeBSD and Plone as two counter-examples
The two main Open Source projects I have direct experience with are the FreeBSD operating system and the Plone content management system. Neither of which are directly linked to large corporate interests.
For example Plone has over 300 core committers, and whilst many of them work for institutions and companies that may pay their wage to develop the features they need, the majority of the community is either sole developers or small development companies that directly develop the software in order to better it and serve their customers. None of this is done with the 'support' of proprietary license fees.
Matt, you came from Alfresco recently, so I guess your view might be different. 90% of Alfresco development is done by the employees of one single company, Alfresco itself. And it sells license fees to its 'commercial' version of its software... which in turn pays for the Open Source side of the development... but not all Open Source software is developed using that model.
Open source's ardent admirers take but don't give
Software is a Liability not an Asset
As told to me many years ago by Paul Everitt, then CEO of Zope Corporation:
"Software is a liability, not an asset".
(unless of course your sole business is actually developing software, but that is only a small minority of companies)
It amazed me working in a high street bank, just how much software they had written in house for general admin stuff (I'm not talking trading here, I'm talking general business process stuff). Most of it the orignal author had left and no-one knew how it worked. Yet at the same time they were vary wary of Open Source, as they thought it a risk... HELLO??!!
I managed to get them to at least switch to an Open Source content management system for their Intranet (Plone) but they still very much had the culture of keeping things under their belt. It wasn't the developers as such, but more the management. If anything was to be released outside the bank then they'd need to get their legal department to take a look at it (which invariable didn't know code from a cucumber) and so the process would just stall.
They in the end ended up with an internal fork and a lot more maintenance than they would have done had they been able to commit their work back to the main community and not have to maintain it all themselves.

Fixing the UK's DAB disaster
DAB radios
As mentioned above, all the DAB radios seem to be retro styled and seem to be trying to win on style over substance. The bit I really don't understand is if DAB was meant to be so good, why sell a whole load of radios with just a single, mono, speaker? Stereo has been invented since the designs for those radios were first done way back when. I know that stereo speakers on such a small system might be a moot point, but all non-DAB units have stereo speakers.

We all chucked some money in the hat and just did it. Ten years later and we have a meeting this week in which we might finally get the local bodies responsible for investment in the area to understand the value of supporting projects like this.
Kent council approves 'cleaner' coal-fired plant
@Richard Austin (BioFuels)
I think the problem with using veg oil in mass production is that you would end up needing more space than we have available for the crops (I'm sure someone else will dig up the numbers). Also you displace food crop production, which is more valuable (us humans need energy too!). The cost of corn/wheat/etc has already been reported to be going up in South America due to North America's demand for it for ethanol production for vehicle fuel. The result is the cost of bread products in South America has gone up.
Amazon SimpleDB: a database server for the internet
So its an object oriented database? Like many already out there. Like the Zope Object DB for instance -- you know, the one that has been out there in use for over a decade and is transactional etc. It has always amazed me why web developers insist on mapping *everything* to a RDBMS when what they are doing is rarely relational.
Random number bug blights FreeBSD
FreeBSD PRNG
A lot have commented here on user-generated randomness. FreeBSD has for a long time had an 'entropy pool' which is 'stirred' but a number of IRQs. So things like disk controllers, and network controllers provide a fairly good source of randomness to help stir things up a bit.

Mass. firm sues Google over 1997 patent
The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine
Brin and Page's paper "The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine" was published in 1998, so a year after this patent was filed. This is the paper that talks about the notion of 'barrels', in which the index is effectively segmented. The idea being you can invert each index independently so you don't need a single machine with the memory/processor power to invert the whole index at once.
The side-effect of this is also that you can distribute your query across multiple servers too. So sounds like there could be a basis for the patent infringement. But 'backrub' as google used to be (backrub.standford.edu) was probabaly around before this patent.
LEDs replace hands in bonkers Japanese watches
Great, but still don't tell you the most useful thing...
The most useful thing that an analogue clock tells you and what *most* people want to know, is not how long *past* the hour it is, but how long *to* the next hour. ie. if you look at an analogue clock you can at a glance see how long you have until lunch/meeting/home/etc. With a digital watch you have to mentally work out how long you have.
I guess this goes back to looking at *why* people want to know the time. In most cases the fact is is 16:33 is not an answer unto itself, but really most people are asking a question eg. 'how long until X?' or 'how long since Y?' These questions are so much easier to answer looking at an analog face, and also allow the user to gain an arbitrary amount of precision as required ie 'roughly half an hour until lunch'.
But I have to say, those watches do have a certain geeky cool factor to them :D
Open source development goes Mac-tastic
Development sprints
From my experience of Plone (open source CMS) development sprints and conferences there is about a 50/50 mix of Mac and PC laptops. As Plone itself runs on Linux/Unix, MacOS and Windows, it is healthy to see a mix of development environments in use. I personally use a Macbook Pro for development, not so much for the OS itself, but for the whole package. It 'just works' and I like the unix-ness of the underneath (I cut my teeth on BSD) but with a good productivity layer on top. ie. I can switch between editing an image in photoshop, checking something into svn on the command line, compiling something, and viewing a MS Word doc from a client, all on the same machine. Yes, there are OSS variants of the productivity apps, but I'd rather spend my time developing the bit that puts bread on my table (Plone) rather than tinkering endlessly with the OS.

Week 2 Nutrition: We Need to Talk About Breakfast
Weve all heard that it's the most important meal of the day, yet a lot of us still skip it. Nutritionist Stephanie Middleberg makes the case for getting into the breakfast habit for good.
"Accidents" happen
So you woke up ravenous and hit up your favorite diner for a stack of pancakes. Its not the end of the world, just do some minor course-correcting for the rest of the day. "See if you can make swaps like open-facing your sandwich or having a salad for lunch," Middleberg recommends. Look at breakfast as your daily carb, and take it from there. "There needs to be a strategy on balance. You need to understand how to restructure your day without feeling totally restricted and scared to eat anything else."

Vickie Guerrero
Real Name
Vickie Guerrero
Date of Birth
April 16, 1968
Place of Birth
"He's definitely a legendary guy that deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame, I'm glad he got to go in when he was still alive. I always respected him as a performer, some of his matches were pretty quick I remember he came in the Winnipeg arena once and beat Andre the Giant in 30 seconds, at the time I was like, 'What a rip off! That sucks.' But I remember Wrestlemania 6 where he had a classic with Hulk Hogan, much like a lot of guys from that time period he had good matches when he had the right opponent." - Chris Jericho on Ultimate Warrior as a performer
April 29, 2014
One of the things that makes Chris Jericho a beloved wrestler is the fact that he grew up a fan like most of us did. Ultimate Warrior was one of his childhood heroes, so he posted this message on Twitter about his death. He also noted how Warrior's match against Hulk Hogan at Wrestlemania 6 was one of his all time favorites.
April 8, 2014
Since the two of them will be forever linked because of their historic match at Wrestlemania 6, there were talks of having Hulk Hogan doing the hall of fame induction for the Ultimate Warrior at Wrestlemania 30. However, WWE opted against that because the relationship between the two of them isn't exactly warm. Linda McMahon was chosen instead.
March 26, 2014
In the past, Vickie Guerrero was receptive towards a potential return to WWE some day, but her tone has definitely changed since starting a new career. Guerrero was recently contacted by the company to make an appearance on the special episode of Smackdown that aired this week. She rejected WWE and stated that it was time for her to move on with her life. John Laurinaitis and Theodore Long worked the segment instead.
October 11, 2014
Unless something drastic happens with her new career, do not expect Vickie Guerrero to be making a return to WWE anytime soon. However, the door has been left open by the company for that to take place in the future if she wishes to do so. Management surprised a lot of people by giving Guerrero a positive sendoff on Monday Night Raw, which solidified the belief that the company would welcome her with open arms again some day.
August 13, 2014
Based on what she has accomplished, Vickie Guerrero has inspired several of the performers backstage in WWE. She was able to leave the business and start a new career. Guerrero went to college while working on the road for WWE. A lot of performers have long been worried if it would be possible for them to leave the road and settle into a new life.
August 8, 2014
It didn't take Vickie Guerrero long to find a new job. About a month after her release from WWE, the former on screen general manager is now working for a pharmaceutical company. Guerrero revealed that she is now processing patients for treatment through an insurance company. She sounds really excited to be working with doctors in her new career.
August 2, 2014
When he announced his sudden decision to retire, Santino Marella teased WWE fans that he might be taking over as the new general manager of Monday Night Raw and Smackdown. While the role is vacant due to the departure of Vickie Guerrero from the company, there has been no confirmation of what Marella is claiming. The belief is that he was simply teasing the audience at this point.
July 7, 2014
Anyone that follows professional wrestling closely, knows that WWE performers spend a ridiculous amount of time on the road for the company. Vickie Guerrero became one of the latest people to grow weary of that lifestyle and requested her release from her contract. Now that she is free of that hectic obligation, the former WWE diva is now on vacation in Hawaii.
July 6, 2014
Hector Guerrero, who is the older brother of the late Eddie Guerrero, is continuing his feud against Vickie Guerrero. He posted a message on Facebook to let fans know once again that Vickie sold out on the family after Eddie passed away. He also revealed that Vickie does not bother to keep in touch with Eddie's mother, either. Vickie has not responded with her side of the story yet.
June 30, 2014
Since she was given a respectable departure from the company, the belief is that Vickie Guerrero is highly regarded by WWE management. The speculation has even more credibility now that the company is airing a special tribute show for her on the WWE Network. The show is basically a highlight reel of her best performances during her longer than expected tenure with the company.
June 29, 2014
Earlier in the year, Vickie Guerrero attempted to leave WWE, so that she can focus on the next chapter of her life. Even though she has not been featured in a big role over the last year, management convinced her to stick around for a bit. She agreed, but has repeatedly told management of her desires to move on. It looks like WWE is finally agreeing to allow her to walk away.
June 17, 2014
While Eddie Guerrero and Vickie Guerrero both became big stars for WWE, their daughter Shaul Guerrero was simply not able to follow in their footsteps. After being released twice from the company's developmental program, she has decided to take a different career path. Shaul has signed up for veterinarian school and has reportedly started attending classes for that.
June 16, 2014
There are rumors floating around right now that Shaul Guerrero was released by WWE because the company wanted to punish her because her mother is leaving soon. Vickie Guerrero has been going to school and focusing on other business ventures. Some are saying that WWE does not want to keep Shaul around if Vickie is not going to be a part of the company.
May 3, 2014
While she did not leave the company after Wrestlemania 30 like rumored, Vickie Guerrero still intends on moving on from WWE at some point in time. She has already given notice to management, and she still continues to work on her college degree and business ventures. Guerrero wants to maintain a good working relationship with WWE.
April 17, 2014
After being heavily rumored to be leaving the company after Wrestlemania 30, Vickie Guerrero has continued to be on the road for WWE. This week, she worked the Smackdown taping. Afterwards, the wrestlers got together and threw her a little birthday party once the television taping was done. She turned 46 today.
April 16, 2014
During Wrestlemania 30, rumors spread that Vickie Guerrero was finishing up her tenure with WWE and moving on to a different chapter in her life. However, it appears that she might have had a change of heart, as the former on screen general manager posted a message on Twitter, stating that she will be on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown this week.
April 12, 2014
Wrestlemania 30 and perhaps the next Monday Night Raw will be the last hurrah for Vickie Guerrero, as she is finishing up her tenure with WWE this weekend. The former on screen general manager has been focused on college over the past year, and she has also been trying to get a few business ventures up and running as well.
April 6, 2014
Since management wanted to test out the developmental wrestlers to see if they were ready to be called up to the main roster, the Ascension, a tag team consisting of Conor OBrian and Rick Victor, were given a match against Diego and Fernando at the big live event in New York City this weekend. WWE even paired Vickie Guerrero up with them. Unfortunately, though, the crowd was silent and indifferent towards the duo, thus hurting their chances of being promoted.
March 9, 2014
Despite not having a big role on Monday Night Raw and Smackdown, Vickie Guerrero is still on the road for the company. Along with several other performers who are not frequently used, she is present backstage at all the television taping. WWE likes having people around in case they change up the story line at the last minute.
March 5, 2014
Since she is now focusing on her education, new career and business, there is backstage heat towards Vickie Guerrero from a couple of people backstage in WWE. It has become apparent that she plans on leaving the company after she graduates from college, so management has decided not to push her much on television from here on out.
February 22, 2014
Over the weekend, several wrestlers, including Chris Jericho, Howar Finkel, Jim Ross, MVP, Diamond Dallas Page, Mason Ryan, Chavo Guerrero, Michelle McCool, Vickie Guerrero, JBL and others, noted the passing of Frank Bullock, a WWE employee who did audio for the company. He had been battling cancer before his death.
February 10, 2014
The belief is that Vickie Guerrero will leave WWE in the near future, quite possibly around the time that she graduates from college and receives her medical administration degree. The feeling is that her character has already reached its peak and that the widow of Eddie Guerrero simply wants to stop being on the road every single week of the year.

My brain is absent without leave today :yawn: , so I need a quick-fix script, if you don't mind. I'm trying to have the bgcolor of table rows change dynamically according to the color depth of the users' monitors.
I know how to get the color depth in both IE and NS, but I need to know is how to identify a tag by its class name. Any ideas?
This would be greatly appreciated.
Thanx. Scot-Bot. :wavey:


text: Democratic Congressman Meets With GOP Leadership About Possibly Defecting by Javier Manjarres 15 Jul 2013 Share This: According to a source very close to the Republican Congressional leadership, Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner granted Patrick Murphy's request to a private meeting to discuss Murphy's possible defecting to the Republican Party. GOP leadership passed on Murphy's offer, according to the source. Murphy's congressional seat is seen as the most vulnerable seats in the 2014 mid term elections, and considering that he barely beat West in the 2012 general election that was shrouded with scandal and possible voter intimidation and fraud – not to mention that the district leans Republican-Murphy's attempt to defect could be perceived by many politicos and talking heads as a smart move.

Frenchies, Germans wave fat pipes at embarrassed Brits
UK homes are less likely to have superfast broadband than anywhere else in the world except China. Ofcom's annual international communications report reveals that 0.2 per cent of UK homes have superfast broadband - the same as China. By comparison France has 1.1 per cent of homes linked up, Germany 2.0 per cent and Italy 1.4 …
Not surprised
This is the nation that basically shuts down when some white stuff falls from the sky.
Snow tyres...I should set up a business importing snow tyres and then lobby government to make them mandatory (as in Germany et al). Saving the nation and my wallet!
@The BigYin
I agree with you to a certain extent but Germany does get 'proper' snow and therefore warrants rules to make snow tyres mandatory.
We, on the other hand, get the odd light dusting so are in the 'dither' zone. That's why we sold our snow ploughs in the 70s.
Mine's the one that says 'Alpha Industries Arctic Parka' on the label.
Snow tyres?
We've sold out.
OK, I've been meaning to buy a set for the Misses' car since last winter (if the weather is that bad we'll live with 1 usable car), but I never quite got around to it. Called up the friendly local tyre outlet last Friday and there was bugger all choice seems everyone has finally woken up to the idea.
Having used them, I'm a convert.
I'll join you in lobbying for them to be mandated.
Snow Tyres not widely available...
From a relative who manages the local branch of a nationwide tyre/exhaust chain:
The problem with the situation at the moment is that we're the end of a very long list of countries when it comes to snow tyre supplies. Each Spring, the manufacturers try to estimate how many sets of tyres they're likely to need the following Winter. They then manufacture that many tyres and first supply them to nations where winter tyre fitting IS mandatory. Any that are left over are then sold first-come-first-served to all remaining nations, which means we get left with a small number for the most widely used wheel sizes. If you have a particularly unpopular size of rim, good luck with finding any at all (perhaps through a main dealer at a very high premium with a long wait). Once all the limited winter tyre stocks are sold, that's it - no more available until the next batch are manufactured in Spring next year.
If you are lucky enough to get a set, only use them until the temperature returns to around 8 degrees C consistently. Above that they'll wear out quickly. If you use them sparingly like this they should last you a few years and on a two wheel drive car you can switch the front/back around when the driving wheels start to show wear to prolong them even further.
"Snow" tyres
Aren't just for snow. The rubber is a different compound that grips better than (what we call) summer tyres in cold and icy conditions.
With a dash of reality
The quarter of drivers on the road with no insurance are unlikely to spend money on snow tyres if they are mandatory or not; one could be out on the road with expensive snow types only to be hit by a sliding and out of control 1.1 Corsa with a bean-can for an exhaust and a numberplate written in script font.
Thank you
What an informative post, thank you. Having just got back from Germany and using snow tyres, I would also go for mandatory fitting. I believe they have done this in Holland, which is in a similar situation to our own.
"we get left with a small number for the most widely used wheel sizes. If you have a particularly unpopular size of rim, good luck with finding any at all"
Not an issue. Buy cheapo rims that fit the car, fit a standard sized snow tyre (some care is needed on size matching, check with the manufacturer, tyre company or decent mechanic). You won't want to use your alloys in winter anyhoo, have you seen what salt does? Come winter, 20 mins with a jack and yer done. Simples.
One more thing...learn how to drive in snow/ice as in, go take friggin' lessons. The theory on how to control a car in slippy condisiton and how skids work "Oh, you just turn into the skid. La de dah." is all well and good, but being able to actually do it is much more important. So, what's yer Chrimbo present? A day on the skid pan. It's wicked fun!
Re @AC
I'd agree about the cheapo rims, but you know, some people have to have their stupid alloys anyway LOL.
Having just spoken to my tyre-centre managing relative last night, he tells me that on Friday of last week he spoke to Michelin who had supplied the UK with a whopping great 9000 winter tyres split across the 15 most popular sizes (whoop-dee-doo!!!).
He enquired about availability of some that his customers were asking for and got together all the prices. Unfortunately he only managed to get hold of most of those customers on Saturday (as most weren't answering their mobiles during work hours on Friday) so by the time the offices for Michelin had reopened on Monday morning there wasn't a single one of those tyres left in stock!
So if you haven't got any yet, you're probably not going to get any until next Autumn at the soonest.
snow tyres
Couldn't agree more, they've got me home safely and comfortably on many an occasion.
It's just a pity the pillock who slid into me on the way home tonight didn't have them on his car...
"Anywhere else"?
"UK homes are less likely to have superfast broadband than anywhere else in the world except China"
Indeed? It's nice to know sub-Saharan Africa is doing so well now!
It has to be noted that China's 0.2% is a far bigger number of people than Britain's 0.2%
How to improve the take-up in one easy lesson
Drop the price
Sod the price
Just make it available to more than 0.2% of the population and you might get a bigger up take.
It won't get plumbed into more areas of the UK unless the companies can see a return on their investment. The government can't fund it, they're damn near bankrupt, Tony and Gordon saw to that.
Telecoms companies need to find the right price to attract enough punters while still being able to recoup their investment.
If I could have fibre to my house I'd be a lot happier than living on the end of BT's use longest route first cabling policy which the country is currently suffering from. Our current infrastructure wasn't built to handle broadband at all. When the cabling was laid there was little incentive to limit line lengths apart from the cost of the copper. For voice is didn't make a blind bit of difference.
Never mind the price, feel the bandwidth
It's not the price that limits uptake. It seems that you can't get fast broadband unless you live next door to the telephone exchange.
The population density of France is about half that of the UK, so fast broadband is easier because nearly everybody lives close to an exchange. </irony>
You Could Almost...
...pay the cost of pulling 3 miles of fiber to the cabinet by scrapping out the copper it replaces.
As I mentioned before, from the cabinet, a little cleaning and bonding has allowed Century Tel to offer "cable TV' service on its copper.
This is the type of project for which governments should coin (not borrow or tax away from workers) new money, since the infrastructure of the country is the true backing of money.
@ Kubla Cant
Ever thought that France's larger space and lesser, spread out, population means that there are not only likely to be fewer exchanges, but people further away from them? I'm four and a half KM from the exchange (and thus only get 2mb). I'd like fibre (twisted copper is too damn prone to picking up interference on that length, I can time my internet hiccups to the milking machines a kilometre down the line!), but that'll be some other time. For now, it's here and it works.
So what *is* "superfast" broadband?
That is my only question.
Is a valid point
What constitutes it can make a massive difference and it would be interesting to know the threshold and whether it's download only or if upload counts.
Also some geographically challenged countries like Australia are not as challenged as you first think. Certainly they're screwed when it comes to the upper end of the stats (getting 90, 95+% etc) onto something but to get a boost over the UK it is remarkably easy due to the concentration of the population in a few municipal centres. Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth make up 50% of the population as at the 2006 census.
Getting good superfast broadband availability then becomes much easy for the early part of the rollout hence having a better score than the UK. Also these centres are pretty well covered by Foxtel cable network giving availability of 17MB/1MB cable broadband (minimum speed) with up to 30/1 speeds. Price is not so good at the moment. It's come down to around GBP 44/month for a 50GB cap at present. Not sure how this compares.
Good question, Robert ;
if one checks the full report, one will note on page 83 the following passage :
Nevertheless, it should be recognised that high-speed alternatives, often at no great incremental cost, are available to many households in the US and to significant numbers of households in Italy, France and Germany. In the UK, Virgin Media cable provides a service, available to around 48% of UK households, offering headline speeds 'up to' 50Mbit/s for a monthly fee of around £8 a month higher than its 20Mbit/s service and £15.50 a month higher than its 10Mbit/s service. The only other nationally available 'superfast' service in the UK is BT Infinity, a fibre-to-the-cabinet service offering speeds of 'up to' 40Mbit/s, which should be available to 40% of UK households by the end of 2012; the price for the basic Infinity service is £6 a month more expensive than a basic DSL service.
Thus, offerings of «[download» speeds of'up to' 40Mbit/s] would seem to be what the report means by «superfast» (love those «up to's»). As usual, everything depends on one's frame of reference....
Oh noes, teh fast pr*n gap is opening up
Once you can get reasonably OK video streaming, which I imagine most people on 'normal' broadband can, what exactly does one need anything faster for?
Some addresses have more than 1 male over the age of 10 living there.
So that more than one person can watch video streaming at the same time.
OK video streaming...
please define!
I have 2 1080p tv's in my house, and the missues wants to record something so I need 3 HD streams please. Now I would like to receive at least one (im not going to demand all three) of those HD streams at a decent bitrate, say comparible with renting a Bluray Disc, but streamed from say lovefilm, rather than the hardly-worth-the-effort bitrate used by freeview. So now how about my "Ok video streaming" bandwidth I recon somewhere around 18mbps should manage that.
Now did someone say 3d?
Videoconferencing is always handy
My parents are agog at the video quality they get when talking with me via Skype.
The fact that my upload bandwidth is 5Mb might have something to do with that. If I upgraded to a faster connection, it would not be because of the download bandwidth - anything above 20Mb is, in my opinion, window dressing.
Did I miss something?
What's "SuperFast Broadband" defined as?
It's not in your article.
It's not in the OfCom summary you link to.
Their link to the "full document" just takes me to a bloody long list of articles.
So what _is_ it?
What's "SuperFast Broadband" defined as?
The average speed in Britain of course.
The ideal metric, a never ending challenge....
Official numbers
OFCOM states that the average broadband speed in UK in 2010 is 5.2Mb/s
Which although not great, is still better than the likes of USA which has average speed of 3.8Mb/s
What's the definition of "superfast" broadband nowadays?
And were they looking at the data rate as measured or the nominal "up to" speed quoted by the ISP?
If anyone has access to the chart, where does South Korea fit into the list? I figured it to be near the top as well.
Why the need for superfast broadband?
Genuine question - why is the necessity of superfast broadband?
Isn't a 'solid' 2-4 Meg pipe big enough for the vast majority of people?
Presuming no significant issues with contention / qos-filtering / etc, what uses do people currently actually have of their Internet connections that require a > 20Mb connection??*
(* I can only think of streaming Higher-Def quality video in the future!)
A solid 2-4 Meg pipe...
... /is/ big enough for the vast majority of people. But what about the vast majority of _households - which hold more than one person? I'd like to be able to watch HD TV regardless of what my kids are doing.
A solid
A solid 2-4 mb pipe is good enough atm given our usage and services provided to us.
There's HD streaming services as mentioned. Then there's the ability to play games from your not so great pc that are running on far more powerful machines elsewhere. The ability do deliver high speed downloads (Bluray quality HD movies and the likes) for rental etc.
Lots of games at the moment that you get on things like steam are 10gig+
You're defining need by what you already use, if you find you have more bandwidth you can do more things and people can provide new services (RIAA/MPAA etc obliging of course)
Ease of access to more bandwidth at lower latency could spark a boom in services not only at the consumer level but at the business level too. Cheap 100mb pipes for all would change the intellectual development and distrobution networks of the country.
One thing to note of course is that high penetration of superfast broadband doesn't == cheap broadband, web space and bandwidth usage in Japan in prohibitevly expensive.
2-4 meg WOULD be a better thing to aim for
I know someone who gets sub-1-meg speeds he's so far from the exchange, and someone else who only gets dial-up.
while it's nice to get faster internet, imo we should concentrate on getting a decent minimum before we spend money improving the speeds of those who already have decent broadband
High quality HD
Streaming HD is only a couple of Mb/s -- IIRC Zune 1080p video is 5Mb/s -- because it's poor quality video; in comparison Sky quality HD is approximately 11Mb/s, BBC HD used to be 20MB/s on satellite but they dropped it to match FreeView HD bitrate, and Blu-ray is 40Mb/s
So you don't need "higher-def" simply better HD to use more than 2-4 Mb/s
As other posters pointed out, there might be more than one person in the household. e.g. I pay for a 50Mb/s pipe and quite often after school / early evening we might have multiple video streams on the go.
They clearly didn't count South Africa...
because we barely have *fast* broadband.
Of course culture is irrelevant
Didn't I hear that the Frogs and the Krauts are mostly domiciled in massive blocks of flats? Whereas John Bull likes to own his own home, thank you very much. It's easy to get superfast BB into massive blocks of flats, and even easier to run one fat pipe per block and then claim that everybody in the block gets the max rate.
irrelevant indeed
Population density is much higher in the UK than in Germany or France. That is all.
I submitted a20-lines-long "funny" answer based on the the same kind of stereotypes as yours to "explain" Japanese and Swede high scores but it was rejected for some reason (well, it sure was silly, and we all know that British humour can be anything but silly. Ni).
Anyway, your argument is stupid, and even downright ostracist. Ni.
French and German people live in single-family houses MUCH more than UK people do, because single-family houses are MUCH more affordable in France and Germany than they are in the UK. Ni
I'm not allowed to say it it a humorous manner apparently, so you'll have to take it straight: You're a moron. Ni.
Quit making excuses
Your needle pipe needs justification? "It's just as good luv."
Cheers from Munich!
Amazingly enough, you hear all sorts of rubbish these days, most of which is complete bollocks. Even if you include the empty bits (cornwall, scotland etc) the UK has a higher population density than either France or Germany.
Since a large chunk of the population is crammed into London at a greater population density than Hong Kong or Singapore, it should be easy to wire up the rows of cramped squalid cheek-by-jowl terraces and shoddy high-rise piggeries that house your trusty John Bulls, bumping up the national average considerably. Similarly, the Midlands, Manchester and Tees/Tyneside aren't exactly a collection of rural hamlets either.
However, this is Britain, where large parts of the train system network have been shut down for two days due to the effect of snow on the top-contact third rail system, which has been obsolete for a hundred years.
You may not like what I have to say...
...but my parents-in-law live in a small hamlet of approximately 200 people. It is a 25-minute drive (at best) from the nearest railway station, which entertains two ICE services per day. This place is halfway between Berlin and Hamburg, and is probably VERY close to the exact centre of Germany.
It's in the middle of nowhere. If World War III came along, I would go there, because it is so far from any likely nuclear target that the fallout would probably be negligable.
My point? They get 768Kb down, 192Kb up. Even in the sticks. God knows how far they are from the exchange, but I can assure you that a small hamlet of 200 people will not get its own exchange, even if it has been in existence for the past 750 years. The argument is not about whether the Krauts live in flats or houses - the argument is about whether Brits value infrastructure.
May not have its own exchange, but it may well have a concentrator parented off a local exchange. My village has. They only added the DSLAMs to it about 5 years ago, before that I had 2x64kbit/s ISDN. Now (at 4km from vikllage) I get 1Mbit/s ADSL.
Oh yes, I live in France, the place where everyone apparerently has superfast broadband that's better than the UK :(
Incidentally it snowed here Wednesday. No school buses, 33km of tailbacks around the nearby town, half the normal numbers of TGVs running. And this is the gateway to the alps.
The grass isn't always greener elsewhere, folks. Don't believe what you read in the Daily Mail.
UK Broadband is pretty crap
Back in the UK I got broadband via BT wholesale through Freedom2Surf/Opal supposed 8mbps struggles to get over 1mbps and with bandwidth shaping drops to 56kbps if you have the audacity to try to run streaming video (You Tube, iPlayer etc).
Now got a flat in Amsterdam, got the cheepo 5Mbps offering, consistently runs at about 4.9Mbps streaming runs flawlessly, no shaping, so yes broadband in the UK is appallingly bad.
It's not just about fibre to the kerb
If you've done any travelling at all in Germany or France you'll know that huge parts of the population do not live in blocks of flats in cities. And, to go really fas,t you've got to upgrade the wiring in the house All of a sudden, advantage UK.
The problem with such poor service in the UK is neither technical or geographic: it is quite simply a lack of investment in an economy fixated on a quick profit.
RE whats it for?
The new version of Skype allows for group video calling, i.e. having all the family on a video conference to save having to visit them at christmas.
I wouldn't mind fast, let alone superfast
I live less than 1km for my local BT exchange. When it's up I can get an average of 5Mbps on a good day to some places on the Internet, less to popular places like the BBC. I have no option for 24Mbps ADSL2+ and to get BT Infinity we have to beg BT for it (Race to Infinity).
For a G7 nation that is supposed to be building a low-carbon, knowledge workforce our overall home broadband capacity is dreadful. At the rate we are going, China, Korea and other high tech economies will simply leave us rusting in the dust of our own debts and complacency...
Don't panic!
The government are re-defining superfast to below the average users speed. We'll be top of the list at this rate.
Maybe yes, maybe no
"Ofcom does note that if plans for deployment of superfast broadband to two-thirds of the population by 2015 will put the UK near the top of the world rankings."
All depends on all the other countries and their plans for extending broadband.
Does this count as high speed?
OK so everyone has 10 or 100mb to their home and starts to use it. The local exchange is going to need to be in 1gb to 10gb range. Local backbone in the 40 -100gb range (currently just about available) and national backbone into new and as yet undeveloped 1tb+.
The cost of this equipment is astronomical even when you consider the numbers of users involved.
Getting this kind of change wrong will bankrupt a company and its not easy to see what the actual revenue from these services is going to be.

And then lastly, we don't want to just create a training aid, we want to help you with those pressure cuts, so we supply this template. It draws two lines. It's on the game ball the exact width of the putter wheel so you knock a five footer just think about rolling the wheel. Sounds good, I love the instant feedback concept. How much does a sleeve of three putter wheels and a template cost? Sure, so this retails for 39.95, we also offer a two pack for 26.95 and a single for 17.95. All right, let's put it to use. You hold this and the microphone. I'm gonna hit some puts. So I can no longer see the inner red rim which means I'm over the ball properly. Little wobble there. So that gives you instant feedback . Little bit off. Yep. Look at this, high powered ball retriever Pat Croce ladies and gentlemen. Putter wheels help my game. All right. One more. A little more wobble, right rim. Obviously, I need some work. Instant feedback . There you go.

Great thing about this product is that it's wireless, so we have the ability to move the video file out of the camera, straight into an iPhone. You can see it, you can share it, and we use the terminology shoot and share, you can literally can shoot and share instantly. The other thing that we have announced today which is really good news is we acquired the [unk] PowerChalk and that's a wonderful web-based analytical software system. Now, these days we don't need any more devices, people look for solutions and that's what we've got. We put the iON camera with the PowerChalk solution and now today we're able to-- be able to store the videos, you can record your golf swing put it into your own locker room, coaches can actually see it, they can actually, the technical term is telestrating, what we call ChalkTalk, and we have the ability to put your swing versus the pro, the coach can do some telestrating, draw the lines give you what's going on and whilst he's doing all of these, it's all getting recorded. Pop it back into the locker room and you can then-- you as an individual can see exactly what's going on. You can actually get that coach right there out of the golf course . Record your-- record your swing in the 1st hole. Just put it up in the locker room, by the time it gets in the 3rd hole, your coach is already giving it back to you and he could be in the other side of the country. -Perfect, we're always trying to adapt while we're out on the golf course and figure out our swings and play better as we go along-- -Yes. -you said this company has been around for more

Callaway president talks Big Bertha return
Gary Williams is joined by Chip Brewer, CEO and president of Callaway Golf, to discuss the relaunch of the Big Bertha brand and tour player signings. From the 2014 PGA Merchandise Show at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL.reaction is awesome. We're having a lot of fun with it. -With Phil Mickelson as a brand ambassador, the brand is always gonna get awareness, recognition-- -Yes. -Because he's so omnipresent. He always contends into his golf tournaments . Who has signed more players, you or the Yankees in the last couple of months? Why go out and be as aggressive as you've been to sign some of the best players in the world, young and very, very young in Lydia Ko's case and a little bit more establishing someone like Henrik Stenson ? -You know we're really changing this brand and we've got a lot of energy and momentum around us. We grew market share last year. We're pushing the needle forward on the product side, and we think it is important that we have great representation in the best players of the world. Now Phil has been a wonderful spokesperson. He puts his heart and soul in the brand. When he likes a club he's gonna tell you about it, you know, but you're also seeing us in the bags of more and more exciting young players. You know Gary Woodland, Chris Kirk, Harris English who knew with the teen this year and Matteo Manassero, Henrik Stenson . You know we had a very busy off-season and you know what's cool is they're transitioned to the brand and they're playing
