Directed by Tracy Brigden
October 11 – November 2, 2014 (Mainstage)
Tony Reilly is getting old. With his wife dead and gone and his own time approaching, he threatens to leave the family's cattle farm to an American nephew instead of his own son and namesake, Anthony. That is, until neighbor Rosemary steps in with a long-held family secret to change Anthony's fate—and her own. Set in the Irish countryside, this is the wistful story of Anthony and Rosemary—loners going on 40, eccentric souls, and, perhaps, just right for each other.

Updated 9:53am Friday 30th May 2014 in News
BOMB disposal experts are investigating a suspected explosive device in Pocklington - the second time in a week they have been called to the town.
It is the second device to be found in West Green, where builders are currently working.
The alarm was raised at 3pm today and five police officers are also at the scene.
The road has been closed and a cordon of 100m around the site has been set up to protect the public.
A Humberside Police spokesperson said: "EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) Officers are assessing the uncovered ordnance and will make safe as soon as possible.
"Humberside Police are advising people to avoid the area until such a time as the devise has been made safe or removed.
"West Green has been closed and a cordon is in place until further notice."
Last Thursday, police were called to the same site after builders found what looked to be an empty shell.
The Explosive Ordinance Disposal team took it away.

... for my own home! The rain was still a pain in the backside but it had eased up slightly and so I decided to walk a bit of the famous Newport Cliff walk. It picked up just at the end of the road which led to the Breakers, of Bellevue Avenue and the walk backed onto many of the old and contemporary mansions. I kept coming to dead ends where the cliff walk had fallen away to erosion Which perhaps is only addressed when it reaches the perfectly green, mowed lawns and grounds ...

Investing.com - Gold prices were little changed near the previous session's three-and-a-half month low on Wednesday, as investors were hesitant to re-enter the market amid bearish chart signals.
On the Comex division of the New York Mercantile Exchange, gold for August delivery fell to a daily low of $1,261.30 a troy ounce earlier in the session, the weakest level since February 7, before trimming losses to last trade at $1,265.10 during U.S. morning hours, down 0.05%, or 60 cents.
Gold prices were likely to find support at $1,257.90 an ounce, the low from February 7 and resistance at $1,294.70, the high from May 27.
Gold tumbled 2.03%, or $26.20 on Tuesday as a bout of technical selling kicked in after prices broke below a key support level close to the $1,277-level, triggering fresh sell orders amid bearish chart signals.
Comex gold prices have been under heavy selling pressure in recent weeks as upbeat U.S. economic data underlined expectations that the Federal Reserve will begin to raise rates sooner than previously thought.
Data released Tuesday showed that U.S. durable goods orders rose unexpectedly in April, while another report showed that U.S. consumer confidence improved in line with forecasts this month.
The Commerce Department said orders for long lasting manufactured goods rose 0.8%, compared to expectations of a 0.7% decline.
Separately, the Conference Board reported that its consumer conference index rose to 83 in May, up from a revised 81.7 in April, in line with economists' expectations.
The robust data added to the view that the U.S. economy is shaking off the effects of a weather-related slowdown over the winter, bolstering the outlook for the broader economic recovery.
Also on the Comex, silver for July delivery eased up 0.1%, or 2.0 cents, to trade at $19.08 a troy ounce. Prices lost 1.81%, or 35.1 cents, on Tuesday to end at $19.06.
Elsewhere in metals trading, copper for July delivery tacked on 0.05%, or 0.2 cents, to trade at $3.179 a pound.
Copper prices have been well-supported in recent sessions amid growing optimism over the health of the U.S. economy and speculation demand from top consumer China will increase in the near-term.

Scotland is currently a part of the United Kingdom, but that may change soon as Scotland is preparing for a referendum in which they will perform a referendum on whether or not Scotland should become an independent country. The United Kingdom came to be in 1707 after Scotland and England entered a voluntary union wanted by both parties. Now, after more than 300 years in this alliance we may face a reality where Scotland is no longer a part of the United Kingdom. The Scottish National Party is the party, which fights for Scotland's independence. Their slogan is "Together we can make Scotland better." – the question they're debating in Scotland is "are they really making Scotland better?" Two key issues
- Oil
- The North Sea is full of oil, and that a lot of that oil is on Scottish ground. It's been estimated that more than £1 trillion worth of oil is left on Scottish ground in the North Sea.
There's no wonder that there're people who wants Scotland to be an independent country due to the financial gain keeping the oil within Scottish borders.
- The North Sea is full of oil, and that a lot of that oil is on Scottish ground. It's been estimated that more than £1 trillion worth of oil is left on Scottish ground in the North Sea.
- The Sterling Pound
- The Scottish government wants to keep the Pound as a legal tender in Scotland. The three main parties in the UK doesn't think it's a good idea, despite the fact that the Scottish government means it is in the best interest for both countries.
If the Pound continues to be a viable mode of payment in Scotland after the possible independence that would mean that Scotland probably will have less control over the economy than they have today – in my eyes; that is not in the best interest for Scotland. The real question is: "does the Scottish people want independence?". The answer is currently no. The majority of people are currently leaning towards the continuation of the alliance with England.

Today, Thursday, August 28, 2014, we had a Google Hangout with Ewan McIntosh. We asked him a few questions, and he raised some as well.
One important question was regarding how the Scottish felt about the independence question, which was interesting because he said that many of the people in Scotland who are on the "no" side are there because of uncertainty. They're not sure what will happen if Scotland becomes independent, which is why they want things to be as they are.
Another point Ewan made is regarding the current foreign policies and how they will change if Scotland becomes independent. Today these questions are managed by the United Kingdom, where Scotland is represented, however they don't have full control as the control is shared between the countries in the UK.
Digging more into foreign affairs another question that arrises is whether or not Scotland has to apply for membership in the European Union. Since the UK is a part of the union one would think that they still will be a part of the union if they become independent. Legal advice for the UK Government doesn't think it's that easy and they think that Scotland has to apply for a membership, contrary to what the legal advice for Scotland has said.
Thanks to Ewan McIntosh for taking the time to talk to us!

My big verandah 8m x 3m was recently changed from a beautiful tiled and level summer retreat into an uneven grey 'lunar landscape'.It has been finished in a liquid plastic product.My next door neighbour and I are not impressed by the total disregard of attention to detail. After talking to the boss of the company who did the job, remedial work commences tomorrow.I am hopeful that it all will be sorted out in the end. I am sure this web site will get it sorted out in the end too.

Hi there - verandah improvement update. The question of the water run-off has been resolved by channelling the rainwater down two new drainpipes.This is still in the construction phase. Today I bought 8 Artificial Grass Mats from Lidl at £5.99 each.It improves the look of the verandah - looks like a snooker table now!. Work continues.

Hello again - there maybee some changes afoot. Three officials from the local housing association came up to see state of the 'improved' verandah(s).They were not overly impressed - schnapps were taken. Meanwhile I have had to rescue about 100 little tomato and marigold seedlings from wind damage at the back of my flat in neighbour's garden area.Will start again tomoro with new seeds. Verandah is still a no grow area. Hey Ho. ( I don't usually say Hey Ho ).

"My best mate is a dab hand at creating websites.(over 30 years experience)."
That's remarkable, considering that the internet as we know it (World Wide Web) has only existed for twenty years. Back then there were only 50 known web servers on the planet.

1954 Photovoltaic technology is born in the United States — the first solar cell capable of
generating enough power from the sun to run everyday electrical equipment. A silicon
solar cell with 6% efficiency and later, 11% efficiency is developed.
1960 Photovoltaic cells reach 14% efficiency.
1970 A significantly less costly solar cell is designed, bringing the price down from $100 per
watt to $20 per watt. Solar cells begin powering navigation warning lights and horns on
offshore gas and oil rigs, lighthouses, and railroad crossings.
1977Total photovoltaic manufacturing production exceeds 500 kilowatts; 1kilowatt is enough power to light about ten 100-watt light bulbs.
1980 At the University of Delaware, the first thin-film solar cell exceeds 10% efficiency; it's
made of copper sulfide and cadmium sulfide.
1985 Researchers at the University of South Wales break the 20% efficiency barrier for silicon
solar cells.
1986 The world's first commercial thin-film module is released.
1992 Researchers at the University of South Florida develop a 15.9% efficient thin-film
photovoltaic cell made of cadmium telluride, breaking the 15% barrier for this technology
1999 A 32.3% efficient solar cell is developed. Researchers at the National Renewable Energy
Laboratory develop a record-breaking prototype solar cell that measures 18.8% efficient,
topping the previous record for thin-film cells by more than 1%. Cumulative installed
photovoltaic capacity reaches 1000 megawatts, worldwide.
2000 Triple Junction solar cells began with efficiencies of approximately 24%.
2002 Triple Junction cells efficiency increased to 26%.
2005 Triple Junction modules up to 28% efficiency.

Leatherhead Theatre to welcome Les Mis
5:00am Saturday 21st June 2014 in News By Charlotte Prothero
If you want to see Les Miserables as it should be done, rather than listening to Russell Crowe's attempt at singing in the film version, then pop down to Leatherhead Theatre.
The performance is being staged by a young and talented 150-strong cast from Blenheim Productions.
The show will take you through the struggles of Jean Valjean during the French Revolution, based on the famous novel of the same name by Victor Hugo.
The production uses clever dramatic devices and rhythmic ensemble movement and includes classic musical numbers such as 'I Dreamed a Dream' and 'One Day More' and will be accompanied by a live orchestra.
This show is packed with drama and passion.
Les Miserables; Leatherhead Theatre, Church Street, Leatherhead; July 10, 12:30pm and 7:30pm; July 11, 7:30pm; July 12, 7:30pm; adults £14; concessions/under-14 £11; call 01372 365141; email email@example.com

Montreal Sights
Maisonneuve Review
World War I and the Depression killed early 20th-century plans to turn this industrial center into a model city with broad boulevards, grand public buildings, and fine homes, but just three blocks south of the Olympic site a few fragments of that dream have survived the passage of time.
A magnificent beaux arts building, site of the old public market, which has a 20-foot-tall bronze statue of a farm woman, stands at the northern end of tree-lined avenue Morgan. Farmers and butchers have moved into the modern building next door that houses the Marché Maisonneuve, which has become one of the city's major markets, along with Marché Jean-Talon and Marché Atwater. The old market is now a community center and the site of summer shows and concerts.
Monumental staircases and a heroic rooftop sculpture embellish the public baths across the street. The Théâtre Denise Pelletier, at the corner of rues Ste-Catherine Est and Morgan, has a lavish Italianate interior; Fire Station No. 1, at 4300 rue Notre-Dame Est, was inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright's Unity Temple in suburban Chicago; and the sumptuously decorated Église Très-Saint-Nom-de-Jésus has one of the most powerful organs in North America. The 60-acre Parc Maisonneuve, stretching north of the botanical garden, is a lovely place for a stroll.

The trap shed has come a long way in the last year.
"Sounds of the Xerox 5090" 7"
Ok, this is fucking GREAT. If there's one thing on this earth I can really, truly respect, it is an instance of great time, energy and expense directed towards the realization of a very dumb joke that almost no one on earth will appreciate. Somewhere around here I have a stack of business cards that just say SHUT THE FUCK UP that obviously I am too much of a coward to ever actually hand to a stranger on the subway or in a movie theater or on a plane even though they definitely need to shut the fuck up. The point is that I spent actual money and had them made because they needed to exist, and someone felt the same way about making this record.
This thing has layers! It manages to invoke absurd hardcore/punk scene lifestyle fetishism (remember when Kinko's nickname was the "hardcore hangout?"), poke fun at audiophile nerds ("Direct from the digitally recorded master tape"), and the layout is a nice nod to the weird retro 1950s industrial clip art trend that for some reason plagued a bunch of 90s punk records. I never understood that- it's kind of low hanging fruit, right? Way to stick it the same shit your parents already stuck it to 30 years ago.
Inside is a very earnest yet over the top explanation of the story of these dudes' collective love affair with this Xerox machine at a Louisville Kinko's, starting with most of Slamdek Records' inserts having been made on it. But my theory is that the germ of this record came from a dude going to work at Kinko's stoned one day and then jammin out to some good old fashioned industrial copy machine repetitive trance bangers. I get the sense that the people behind this record are 100% into it and 100% making fun of it at the same time, which I guess you could say I REALLY relate to.
No one try to buy this one from me- it's not happening.

San Diego County Water Authority considers rate hike
The San Diego County Water Authority announced this week that it is preparing to raise water rates as high as 3.8 percent for next year.
The proposal will go before the agency's board of directors on Thursday but won't be voted on until after a public hearing scheduled for June 26.
The SDCWA receives water from the primary wholesaler for the region -- the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California -- and distributes it to local agencies like the city of San Diego or Helix Water District. It's those local agencies that deliver water to residential and commercial customers.
The increases proposed by staff would be 2.9 percent or 3.8 percent for untreated water, and 2.6 percent or 3.3 percent for treated water. The actual figures would vary between member agencies.
The water authority, which is fighting the MWD in court over its wholesale rate structure, said the proposed rate increases would be among the smallest in the past decade. The agency said the MWD is responsible for 74 percent of its water costs.
"These proposed rates reflect the cost of investing in a safe and reliable water supply for San Diego County," said Maureen Stapleton, general manager of the SDCWA. "That strategy has worked well to help us avoid the worst impacts of the current drought, and it will continue to protect our region's economic health and quality of life."
The SDCWA has been working to diversify its sources, increase storage capacity at area reservoirs, and plans to take water from a huge desalination plant under construction in Carlsbad.

Evaluating the performance of database systems is a very demanding task. There are a lot of hard choices to be made, e.g.:
While performance evaluation is mostly machine time, there is still a lot of hard work for the human monitoring the tests. In this blog post we have made following choices:
Eventual consistency [1] is a consistency model, which is used in many large distributed databases. Such databases require that all changes to a replicated piece of data eventually reach all affected replicas. Furthermore, the conflict resolution is not handled in these databases, and the responsibility is pushed up to the application authors in the event of conflicting updates. Eventual consistency is a specific form of weak consistency: the storage system guarantees that if no new updates are made to the object, eventually all accesses will return the last updated value [1]. If no failures occur, the maximum size of the inconsistency window can be determined based on the factors such as communication delays, the load on the system, and the number of replicas involved in the replication scheme. We earlier in[Read more...]

In January I wrote my first post about node.js and MariaDB . In February I continued with a second post about using jQuery and some GIS calculations. Now it is time for the third and this time the main focus is not so much on GIS functionality, but instead on the capabilities MariaDB has for handling piles of unstructured data. In this case I'll be focusing on crunching a pile of XML files without importing the XML data itself.

Dotdeb is a repository currently targeting Debian and Ubuntu, providing a nice set of packages for LAMP servers.
Recently, MySQL 5.6 was added to the dotdeb repository. On the surface, this is a very harmless addition. MariaDB is a replacement for MySQL and it should be possible for applications designed for MySQL to easily switch to MariaDB. Therefore MariaDB also includes the libraries that applications using MySQL depend upon, such as libmysqlclient18 and mysql-common. The dpkg package manager looks at the MySQL 5.6 packages in dotdeb and assumes that 5.6 is a higher version than 5.5, which results in it removing or replacing libraries during normal apt-get installation and upgrade procedures.
The problems appear in the following scenarios:[Read more...]

Using this feature, MariaDB 10 can[Read more...]
On Thursday MySQL technology saw a huge boost. It's hard for anyone now to argue that MySQL isn't in the game of extreme scalability and performance, which some NoSQL vendors have been using as a tagline for the last years. To see four of the largest MySQL and MariaDB users come together to bootstrap a branch of MySQL for extreme scaling needs is simply fantastic. The improvements done inside these companies will now be available to the rest of the community. In all fairness Facebook and Twitter, in particular, have been making their improvements publicly available also before. Google has also made some improvements available publicly over the years and have lately been active in the MariaDB project with code reviews, bug fixes and other patches. But broadening the public contributions further and combining it all, is new.
Engineering of MySQL technology happens in many places. Aside from[Read more...]
MariaDB 10 is nearing GA, and it makes sense to make sure that the test suite from MySQL 5.6 is merged into MariaDB 10. Svoj is doing a lot of this work, and then we like to look at features, especially ones that are deprecated upstream. We don't do that on blogs, but on the maria-developers mailing list.
I bring to your attention: Intermediate status for test cases merge. We see that INSERT DELAYED and SHOW PROFILE for example are deprecated in MySQL 5.6. The only way for feedback to the MySQL team seems to be comments on Morgan's blog. However with MariaDB, especially with the feedback plugin enabled, we[Read more...]

A MariaDB Howto authored by: Erkan Yanar.
This is a Howto about installing MariaDB Galera Cluster on Debian/Ubuntu. Because a lot of people were having problems installing MariaDB Galera Cluster, elenst from
#maria on freenode forced me to write this Howto
Installing MariaDB Galera Cluster is in fact quite easy and actually kind of boring in the end. This Howto is written for (and tested on) on Debian 7.1 (Wheezy) and Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise).
In our setup we assume 3 nodes (node01, node02, node03) with one interface each. We assume following IP addresses: 172.16.8.5, 172.16.8.6, and 172.16.8.4. We need three packages installed on all nodes:

Recently, I've been writing based on my linux.conf.au 2014 talk, which you can watch the recording of. Also see Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4,[Read more...]
Lets start by considering a scenario where records are being inserted in a single auto-increment table via different nodes of a multi-master cluster. One issue that might arise is 'collision' of generated auto-increment values on different nodes, which is precisely the subject of this article.
As the cluster is multi-master, it allows writes on all master nodes. As a result of which a table might get same auto-incremented values on different nodes on INSERTs. This issue is discovered only after the writeset is replicated and that's a problem!
Galera cluster suffers with the similar problem.
Lets try to emulate this on a 2-node Galera cluster :
1) On node #1: MariaDB [test]> CREATE TABLE t1(c1 INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY, c2 INT)ENGINE=InnoDB; Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.07 sec) MariaDB [test]> START TRANSACTION; Query OK, 0[Read more...]

Here is the memorial service program for Michael Jackson being sold outside the Staples Center.
Classy act to follow !! RIP MJJ !!
addressed to former Gavin Arvizo... / GAVIN ARVIZO
Youâve changed your name but Iâm sure you read TMZ these days. Please read the whole post.
Itâs pretty obvious that adults made you lie... and hereâs just one example: âDuring the course of an August 2003 police interview, the boy alternately said that Jackson molested him "less than five times," "a total of five times," and "about seven times," according to a law enforcement account of the Q&A.â
Later, in the trial, the number of alleged molestations was reduced to two as the timeline jibed with MJâs and your stays at Neverland.
You were mocked by friends, obsessed fans hated you... â and you suffered by the results of what lawyers, your mother and others started. You had to change your name and move. Your whole life changed and probably feel anger and disappointment.
But could you imagine the hate, pain and disgrace Michael Jackson had to bear? Itâs a miracle he survived over years all the sensational, unfactual media reports which must have hurt him so much. He was acquitted by a jury but your accusations and the media have convicted him.
If you address yourself to a quality paper or reputable tv station, like for example the newspaper LA Times or CNN, they sure would protect your identity. Donât go to any tabloid or blog. They will hurt you more.
Now Michael Jackson died... but itâs on you to clear his name if you lied to the world about his actions. Itâs not too late, Gavin! Truth but also false allegations outlast life.
They should offer these programs for sale to all of us who wasn't able to attend. I find it a slap in the face to us real fans who didn't win tickets or are too far away to attend. Why can't we have a piece of the memorial. It's really gonna make me upset when they are all over ebay tomorrow for ridiculous prices. They could at least print them out and sale them for say $10-$20. Could you imagine the money that would be made. Everyone in the world buying one. It could even help cover the cost of security. -Steve
I WOULDNT WANNA BUY NOTHING abOUT MICHEAL JACKSON...... HES GONE.. LET HIM R.I.P.... ITS ABOUT TIME THEY BURIED HIM.. I HOPE THEY HAVING A CLOSED CASKET BECAUSE THAT BLEACH HAS PROABLY GOT SKIN LOOKING REAL BAD NOW THAT HES DEAD
CNN Newcaster inside Staples Center had a totally different program and showed it page by page to viewers. It was gold with a picture of Michael with his arms stretched out wide. What is this?
All my Friends
I'm Going to Michael Jackson Memorial with "Ben" - Should be a "Thriller" - traffic is "Bad" - everyone is dressed in "Black or White" - BUT "I'll be There" - then I'm going to "Beat it" - and have dinner at "Billie Jean's" - WOW people just "Don't Stop til you get Enough" SO if you don't know your "ABC" 's then take a look at the "Man in the Mirror" because you just dont know the "King of Pop !!!
------ ALL Michael Jacksons # 1 hits ------
Randy P Latimer
Executive Vice President
Great, something given away for free thats gonna end up on ebay.... just another way for people to make a buck off of MJ...
I want this program!
programs on ebay
Wow, what a disgrace. The media were talking about millions showing up, yet there's barely enough to even fill up a high school. You think the liberal media would have learned by now.
Michael Jackson was just a man...not a boy...a man....a 50 year old man...he sang and danced but didn't cure anything.
He couldn't even cure himself.
He was mortal...talented....but mortal. Someone should have told him that.
Now his white children will live with all the confusion he imposed on them. In a strange way, he created the same as Joe Jackson...confusion, frustration, bewilderment, and a dysfunctional family life. My how the spinning wheel keeps spinning.
If you look at all the pictures in the program, you notice there aren't any recent ones. All the pictures used were of him when he was more "black". They want him remembered looking more normal.
Why is Barry Gordy speaking so s l o w l y ??? Is it because his "audience" can't "get it" if he speaks normally?
In other cultures they don't speak like everyone is 3 years old.
