text: Riley Two Port SPECIFICATIONS Note: Most parts are OPTIONAL & fully interchangeable with original heads. The Riley Two Port is a faithful reproduction of the original Riley Dual- Valve-In-Head made from 1929 to 1932 for the Model "A" & "B" Ford. This model is the rare 1929 "first version", with the spark plugs on the left side. The Riley Two Port is a powerful, efficient and reliable 12 valve OHV "F" head (8 intakes in the head and 4 exhausts in the block) that more than doubles the horse power, runs cooler, gives better gas mileage, accelerates like a motorcycle, is fully oil pressurized, fully adjustable and fits under the hood without modification. Because it is authentic cast iron, you will not have adverse corrosion or expansion problems like you would with a soft aluminum head. Your Block: For normal road driving and cross-country touring, use a stock Model "A" or "B" Ford four-cylinder block (1928-1934). The block should be rebuilt. Babbitt bearings, are fine, insert bearings will last longer. Use the stock oiling system and rods. We recommend a counter balanced crankshaft and a metal timing gear. Your exhaust valve train, and four intake adjustable tappets must be in place. COMPRESSION RATIO: All Riley Two Port heads are now delivered with a 1/16" deep circular fly-cut above cylinders. This is to help insure that pistons do not touch the combustion chamber. The fly-cut depth also controls compression ratio and cc's of chamber volume. We offer a 136cc version with a 1/16" fly-cut depth (+/-7:1CR @ standard bore) and a 151cc version with a 1/4" fly-cut depth (+/-6.5:1CR @ standard bore). The thickness of the gasket plus the fly-cut should give adequate clearance, but the owner must double check the piston to head fit prior to use. Some engine rebuilds have the pistons higher than flush with deck, which increases compression ratio. Oversized cylinder bores increase CR Example: our 136cc version is 7.36:1CR @ .080" overbore, with flat top pistons, flush with deck and our .060" uncompressed thickness. Our 151cc version is 6.8:1CR @ .080 oversize. Customers needing higher CR's can order head without a fly-cut and a re-decking up to 3/8" milled off. Ratios approaching 10:1+ are possible. Customers needing lower CR's will need to machine material off each piston's top or obtain pistons with lowered pin centers or have rod-bearing center changed. Combustion Chamber: Roof surface is now partially machined to improve compression ratio accuracy and appearance. Wire Groove: Each head is grooved 2-1/4" between cylinders 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 for a stainless steel Fire Wire to improve gasket clamping. Head Studs: Special length studs are grade eight, 8740 Chromoly, with rolled threads. The very best available, nuts are grade eight. Camshaft: Use a Model "B" camshaft reground for most touring, near stock idle and fast road driving. Intake Port Covers: We supply two per head, aluminum "port cover" that read "RILEY", can be polished. Used to cover unused intake ports on side of the block. Intake Manifold: OPTIONAL: Choose from: Dual down-draft uses Stromberg/Holley three bolt carburetors; OR a dual up-draft (uses 2 Zenith or Winfield). Inquire, we usually can supply manifolds to hold almost any number and type of carburetors: Single, doubles, triples, up or down-draft. Exhaust Manifold: Use the stock Ford cast iron exhaust manifold or a "flathead" type four tube exhaust header. Springs: Ford Model "A", eight per head. Normal stock tension. Keepers: Ford Model "A". Valve Guides: Ford Model "A" brand new re-machined split cast iron. Valve Plugs: All heads are now supplied with four billet aluminum Valve Plugs. These are to be press fit into both the valve guide and the old valve seat OF THE BLOCK. The final installation must be done by a machinist usually at the time the block is decked and to insure proper seating at the valve seat. The Plug should be either dead flush with engine deck (machined with deck) or "just" below the deck. These optional use plugs improve oil return and give additional gasket support when using the solid copper gasket. Valve Covers: The name "TWO PORT RILEY" de-bossed on the top in large clear letters that will not polish off. The gasket supplied is a quality "U" channel neoprene gasket. The covers are 3/8" higher than stock cover to give better clearance to the rockers. Spark Plugs: Spark plug holes bored and threaded for 14mm, 3/4" reach, flat seat plugs. Not supplied. Studs: We supply aircraft quality grade eight head studs, manifold studs, water pump studs and nuts. The very best and strongest. Gaskets: 1 solid copper annealed .062" thick head gasket is supplied. 2 Intake manifold, 1 water pump, 2 felt oiler pads, 2 fire wires, and OHV cover gaskets supplied. Push Rods: Adjustable solid push rods with 1/2" dia. adjusters. We make these from scratch. Our tappet seat bolts are supplied. You must supply "single locker" adjustable tappets. Water Pump: Is the stock 1928 to 1931 Model "A" water pump with a "locating collar" installed on the shaft. There will not be a shaft locator boss inside the cylinder head. This was done to improve water flow. Collars are available from Mac's (A8511C). Most owners report their head's are running exceptionally cool and some have changed thermostats to raise the temp. OPTIONAL early Ford V-8 water pump adapters and water block off plates are available. Water Gooseneck: Cast 356-T6 aluminum special fit around valve covers. Fits all years. Distributor: Each head is shipped with a "RILEY" Distributor Riser part, 356-T6 aluminum, fully machined and a longer distributor drive shaft. This extension will raise your Model "A" or "B" distributor up two inches so the stock "wing" caps and the Model "A" spark advance will clear the valve covers. Mallory and other distributors will fit. Distributor Riser must be sealed with silicone sealer between it and the head. No gasket, just a touch of sealer. A thin paper gasket can be fabricated if desired. Distributor Drive Shaft: The shaft has been made approximately 1/4" longer. This is due to variances at the drive gear assembly, engine deck machine depth and other factors. Simply grind an equal amount off each end to get to the correct length for your engine. Oil Pressure: Each head is "trick" machined to feed low pressure oil to the head and rocker system. Oil returns to the engine block via the pushrod channels. This will effectively oil the R2P valve train along with the low pressure feed to the rocker shafts and rocker arms. We continue to recommend using the felt pads to seal the vent holes, silence the valves and for holding oil. Distributor Riser must be sealed with silicone sealer between it and the head. No gasket, just a touch of sealer. A thin paper gasket can be fabricated if desired. Distributor Drive Shaft: The shaft has been made approximately 1/4" longer. This is due to variances at the drive gear assembly, engine deck machine depth and other factors. Simply grind an equal amount off each end to get to the correct length for your engine. Oil Pressure: Each head is "trick" machined to feed low pressure oil to the head and rocker system. Oil returns to the engine block via the pushrod channels. This will effectively oil the R2P valve train along with the low pressure feed to the rocker shafts and rocker arms. These sharp 3/8" thick and solid finned aluminum plates fit all stock and modified "A" & "B" engines. The perfect addition to those of you with new or original Riley OHV conversions. . . . and of course, even if you don't have the conversion, these look great anyway! The thick castings can be drilled and tapped for oil lines anywhere on the plate. Polishing not included. Prices & specs subject to change w/o notice. Shipping: From U.S.A. Each head will be assembled and packed for safe shipment by UPS. Shipping/crating costs payable in advance and is $85.00. US. Every Buyer Must Sign a "Release and Hold Harmless Agreement" before head will be shipped. WARRANTY: The USA Wholesalers warrants for thirty (30) days, that the workmanship and materials of the Riley Two Port are as represented. If the head is modified buy the customer in any way whatsoever the warranty is null and void. When you receive your head, inspect it, if it does not appear correct, call us and we will arrange for a full refund, repair or exchange. This product makes increased horsepower and is used as an automotive racing product, therefore no other warranty is expressed or implied. The warranty is non transferable. Having said that, be assured that we stand behind the Riley Two Port as stated above. Contact Pearson's, as your first port of call, if problems arise. All heads and associated parts, are shipped directly from the USA Wholesalers. None are stocked by Pearson's. Return shipping, if required, will be at the customers expense.

A year ago Paul McCartney opened the vaults to the Freelance Hellraiser, who smashed the back catalogue all to, well, hell by mashing up mediocre Macca till it sounded brighter than the solo Beatle ever did all by his lonesome. Now comes the old pro himself, Sir George Martin, attempting to do the same to the Beatles' stash for a Cirque du Soleil production; no shit. And it's as terrific as advance word promised if not essential, then at least enjoyable enough to merit putting the post-Rubber Soul discs on the top shelf for a while, since this will suffice quite nicely. That's because there's nary a pre-1966 "rocker" on the record ("I Want to Hold Your Hand," fine) as Martin makes it all sound so wonderfully gooey, poppy, and perfectly pleasant: "Julia," "Yesterday," "Because," "Here Comes the Sun," "Hey Jude," "All You Need Is Love," scrubbed and rinsed off original masters till it all sounds and smells fresh as the day it was made. Martin never completely reinterprets the work, as McCartney and the FH did; he's not bold enough to milk the cow and kill it straight away. About as adventurous as this gets is layering the vocals for "Octopus' Garden" over the music for "Good Night"; guess it works, but who really needed that? Better off are the vocals-only "Because" (like a church choir, amen), "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" (bare-bones and lush; go figure), and the from-a-demo-to-a-masterpiece "Strawberry Fields Forever," which provides a you-are-there glimpse heretofore unimagined, heh. But, like, we're done with Beatles reissues, right? A boy can dream. Robert Wilonsky

CALGARY — Clouds generated by sinking commodity prices are darkening future expectations for energy companies as they continue to release third-quarter results that are generally meeting expectations. On Tuesday, Calgary investment bank FirstEnergy Capital released a new commodity price forecast that prompted severe cuts to 12-month target prices across a wide swath of its energy company coverage universe.
Two weeks after an underground fire prompted a widespread, four-and-a-half day power outage in the downtown Calgary, a month-long Enmax inspection of electrical infrastructure will begin Saturday.
CALGARY — Flooding and transmission line constraints have delayed final testing of its 195-megawatt Forrest Kerr run-of-river hydroelectric power plant in B.C. until now, AltaGas Ltd. reported Thursday. The Calgary-based energy company said the facility has begun the required 72-hour testing period to ensure it meets parameters set forth by BC Hydro.
After a nearly five-day blackout that forced hundreds to line up for government-issued food vouchers and hotel rooms, Enmax is hopeful that power will be restored to a big swath of downtown, ahead of schedule, by 5 a.m. Thursday.
Re: "Prentice refuses to beef up greenhouse gas regulations unless U.S. does," Online Herald, Sept. 25.
Murray Smith, a former cabinet minister in the Ralph Klein government — the one that privatized government liquor stores and licence registries in 1993 — once told me about a side benefit of such divestments (and I paraphrase): fewer distractions, which led to more focused government.
CALGARY — Midstream company Keyera Corp. has signalled a changing of the guard. Chief executive Jim Bertram will become executive chairman at the end of the year and president and chief operating officer David Smith will become president and CEO, it said in a news release late Thursday.
With regard to Sheila Pratt's Sept. 25 article about greenhouse gas regulations, TransAlta fully agrees with Premier Jim Prentice that Alberta has not been given enough credit for its progress on reducing the environmental impact of the energy industry and the infrastructure that is needed to support our province.
A Calgary company says it has become the first in Alberta to earn carbon offset credits by converting flare gas into electricity.
Who knew that the Alberta Utilities Commission website could make for such interesting reading? Alberta's independent utilities regulator is reviewing SNC-Lavalin's proposed $3.2-billion sale of its transmission line operator AltaLink to Berkshire Hathaway Energy, owned by investment guru and uber billionaire Warren Buffett.
Several months after the town of Inuvik, N.W.T., began trucking in liquefied natural gas to generate some of its power, the territorial government wants to do the same in smaller communities that continue to rely on dirtier and costlier diesel.
CALGARY — A junior natural gas producer with uneconomic Alberta coalbed methane wells has come up with a unique solution — it's going into the electricity business. In a news release this week, Calgary-based Emerald Bay Energy Inc. said construction of its gas-fired electrical power generation plant at Nevis, 200 kilometres east of Red Deer, is nearing completion.
CALGARY — Gas-weighted Birchcliff Energy Ltd. says it will bump up its 2014 capital spending budget by $100 million to $447 million despite recent declines in gas prices and price forecasts. The Calgary intermediate enjoyed a near three-year-high share price in June of $14.97 as North American natural gas prices rose due to a cold winter that drained inventories. But the stock price has fallen steadily in lockstep with gas prices since then and closed Wednesday at $11.20.
For the Calgary Herald Through our work looking at the negative public health impacts of coal on Albertans' health, we often run into skeptics. "Show me the grave of someone who died from coal!" they demand. This is difficult, given the nature of coal's effect on our health: the science of public health looks at things at a population level, not an individual, level. So let us explain the scientific basis regarding coal's health effects.
Albertans were asked Wednesday to reduce power consumption in the wake of an unexpected power plant shutdown that has left the province's electricity system "stressed." With temperatures across Alberta hitting the 30C mark and higher, the province's power grid is carrying a heavy load. On Tuesday afternoon, demand for power spiked to a record 10,413 MW, according to the Alberta Electric System Operator.
AltaLink is a publicly funded fully regulated utility that is owned by a highly disreputable corporation: SNC-Lavalin. AltaLink also just happens to be Alberta's largest electricity transmission company that controls 80 per cent of the electricity flow in Alberta.
TransAlta announced Monday the construction of what will be its seventh power plant in the mining region of Western Australia.
CALGARY — Privately held BluEarth Renewables Inc. announced Wednesday it has landed the financing it needs to build its 15-megawatt Culliton Creek Hydro Project in B.C. The Calgary-based green power company said it will use about $77 million provided by the National Bank of Canada to build the run-of-river hydroelectric project about 90 kilometres north of Vancouver.

Pretty near perfect!
This delightful getaway has an interior decorator's touch, little vignettes reflecting vintage rural chic. Nothing has been left to chance, simple needs and wants provided. The owners are accommodating but not at all intrusive. I would love to return, especially for the delicious bakery across the street!
Albuquerque loft
Beautiful loft with all the amenities necessary for our stay. Bus and Railrunner within walking distance. Many restaurants only blocks away. The owner was available by text and helpful when we needed it. We will be returning and will stay longer because there's so much to see and do.
Great location, comfortable stay...
We stayed here for Thanksgiving week in 2009. It was just before my husband was to deploy and we were getting a last family trip before he left for a year. Anissa and her family were fantastic and interesting hosts (her daughter even babysat for us one night so that we could go to dinner alone). The townhouse was spotless, conveniently located, and very comfortable. There's a little "playhouse" underneath the stairs that delighted my young daughter for hours on end. I was able to cook a feast in the kitchen (although, I have to admit packing my own gear, so I can't attest to the kitchen gear there--I was playing it better safe than sorry). We walked to several eateries during our time there and the neighborhood was vibrant and interesting, too. I highly recommend this location. It was not available for a return visit we made and our second rental was nice, but not as nice as this one.

fresh pineapple - peeled, cored, and chopped
1 cup
vanilla yogurt
banana, cut into chunks
1/2 cup
orange juice
ice cubes, or as needed
Yum, this did taste like a pineapple creamsicle! I used all of the ingredients but changed up the amounts due to what I had and what I knew would work best. I got about 3 servings. I used 1 large frozen sliced banana, 1 1" thick slice of fresh pineapple I had in the freezer. I just cut it in half for easier blending. 1 6oz container of Greek non fat vanilla yogurt (Kroger brand), 3/4 cup of homestyle orange juice, and 8 ice cubes. Will definitely make this again. TY
I thought ahead before I made this smoothie. I did not have fresh pineapple but I did have one large can of pineapple chunks. What I did was drain the can of pineapple chunks and froze half of it the night before I made this. I did not need the ice. The kids thought this was great! They asked me to make this again tomorrow.

This was absolutely delicious! Definitely my new smoothie go-to recipe. This is also great with some fresh kale and ground flax for an added nutritional boost.
Mmmm-Mmmmm! I used half can of pineapple chunks and only 8 cubes. We have some lactose issues in our house so I used lactose free yogurt. Great smoothie! Thank you jenateare for sharing.
I was expecting an overbearing pineapple drink and was pleasantly surprised. We've tried this with mango juice in lieu of the orange juice and it's just as good. I add spinach which doesn't change the flavor. My picky twin 4-year-olds love this smoothie too so now we have 2 smoothie recipes they will drink! Thanks for sharing.
The pineapple flavor dominates, didn't get much of a creamsicle flavor, but still liked it.

The Archbishop of York voted against democracy last night, after being slightly delayed by a royal banquet.
Though he just made the House of Lords vote in time, overall only four out of 26 bishops managed to turn up to cast their mitres against the idea of a fully-elected second chamber for the UK - which would mean, by sheer coincidence, losing their own as-of-right places.
Is it just me, or is this beyond satire? Lord Falconer entertainingly observed: "Although it looked as though the Church of England was rather depleted at the end of the debate, it was for unavoidable reasons — acts of God, one might say."
We are often told that the Establishment of the church under the Crown (bishops swear allegiance to the throne in all matters, spiritual as well as temporal) is purely an ornament these days. Actually, it continues to perpetuate a culture of presumption so enoromous that it prevents its perpetrators from even recognising it as such.
Church leaders, like all of us, should expect to be regarded according to the quality of their words and their lives. They should not presume upon a big hearing, a comfy seat in government and a place at royal feasts just because they hold church office. Whatever happened to "the last shall be first, and the first last"?
To try to protect the privileges of an Established church and to further seek to stop the nation's second chamber being accountable by ballot is not only shamefully self-interested - it is a counter-witness to the Gospel.
"Those who seek to save their lives will lose them", Jesus once reminded his followers. That's a tough lesson for all of us. It especially difficult for those who take power and influence as a right.

Do not adjust your set: TV market slows, 'connected TV' grows

> It is always annoying when forecasters fail to forecast disruption
The article goes to great lengths to describe what is already happening. So, since tablets are a given and internet connected TVs, essentially tablets, with a sensibly sized screen and decent sound are nothing new - where's the disruptive technology the author is so keen for forecasters to forecast?
Can you trust 'NSA-proof' TrueCrypt? Cough up some dough and find out
Audit the source? Nobody *runs* the source, they run binaries
> why an audit of TrueCrypt is needed and arguably even overdue
And as soon as the developers come up with a new version, the auditing needs to be all over again.
However, what's worse is if someone brings out a TrueCrypt virus. One that only attacks that particular program and inserts a backdoor into installed copies (or some other binary it depends on). You can have audited source - but that's no use if the environment the program is running on is insecure and is therefore open to having the binary attacked, post-audit.
The only audit that a user could trust would be of an entire system: O/S, applications+libraries and TrueCrypt. Then as soon as any of those are changed, upgraded or patched, the whole audit becomes invalidated. Oh, and as for proprietary binary-only drivers, codecs or libraries: don't even think about installing them.
Price rises and power cuts by 2016? Thank the EU's energy policy
Re: Cloud cuckoo land thinking...
> why on earth would I believe an energy sector player when they tell me they are going to close gas plants by 2016?
Simply put. They are running a business. If the cost of running that business, or factory, or power station, is greater than the profit they make from running it, they'll close it. Why would they do otherwise? It's a free country and manufacturers are under no obligation to supply electricity or any other product. They will only do so if there's monkey to be made.
We have heard the same warnings from car makers, steel plants, coal mines and many, many other parts of what old-timers used to call "british industry". They all closed. Electricity generation will stop, too, if a regulated market gets in the way of supply-and-demand and makes it unprofitable.
There's no rule that says we *have* to be supplied with electricity, on demand, whenever we want, in whatever quantity we please. And just because we've had (largely) interrupted supplies for the past 100 years - that's no reason to suppose that they will go on forever. Up until recently it has been profitable for generators to make electricity and to sell it to us. That it's strategically important and without it you're looking at a cold and wet version of Angola: generating capacity: 1.16GW - though ravaged by war, rather than stupidity,
A british thing?
So why doesn't the UK do what every other EU country does why faced with a directive it doesn't like? ignore it?
Most EU countries take a healthy, skeptical, pragmatic approach to EU "law". If it's in their favour (e.g. fishing rights) they embrace it and extol its virtues. If it is to their disadvantage they say "it doesn't apply to us" or "it's discriminatory", "we can't do it in time" or just do .... nothing.
Laws anywhere, at any level, only work with the acquiesence of the subjects it's applied to. If they give it a gallic shrug, or a british V sign there's not much anyone else can do. It only seems to be in Britiain that everyone goes into a bit of a tizz and says "but it's the law" without realising that laws only work if people obey them and that our representatives helped shape them - and if it's to our detriment, they obviously didn't do a very good job of politicking.

> Economics is not a science, the closest that it gets is to be a branch of psychology.
That's probably true, since economics is tightly bound to the motivations people have for doing things - and it's not always about money. And, like any subject that has to add the suffix "science" (just like countries that call themselves "democratic" or "the people's ... "), almost certainly isn't.
However, that doesn't mean it is irrelevant to how we live and has nothing to contribute. Have a read of some of Tim Harford's books: The Undercover Economist being a good start: not only entertaining but easy reading. And if you want to know why oral sex is becoming so popular, read his second paperback, TLoL.

It's not the job of a policeman to say we need more laws. Just like it's not the job of a doctor to call for more illnesses. Obviously, the more laws there are, the greater the need for enforcement and therefore the more police - so the self-interest is apparent.
Although it's unfashionable to say so, the job of government is to say what should be legal and what deserves having your front door smashed in at 6 a.m. It's the job of the police to do that smashing, not to choose who's doors.

On the road with an IT ball-gazer: Forget big data, the future of tech is the 'social enterprise'
The perennial question
> businesses will soon need to make the transformation into the Social Enterprise
OK, that extrapolates existing trends. But it will only continue if someone works out how to make money from it. So, the question is: how do people make money from Social Enterprise?
I think we can discount (even more, or targeted) advertising. The more you push unwanted advertisements into peoples' faces, the less they will use a service. What does that leave? Historically we know that after every expansion comes a correction. Maybe the near-future (the next 10 years) sees social media implode under it's own unsupportable weight and the realisation that it's really a bust, since it offers no value.
Personally, I reckon that the next big thing will be something new (like the internet was). Something that few, if any, can foresee - and that nobody thinking about it today is able to determine the consequences of. We probably won't even realise it's "the next big thing" for several years after it's kicked off. Which opens the possibility that it's already here.

Rubbish broadband drives Scottish people out of the Highlands
Tell me again, why is this a problem?
> There is now evidence of people leaving rural communities to live in urban areas ... due to a lack of connectivity ... due to lack of access to higher education, affordable housing or employment
Basically, the (ex) inhabitants of these regions are moving away because they can get a better quality of life elsewhere. That's a good thing, surely!
There's nothing sacred about being able to live in the same town where you were born or grew up. People always move about (sometimes to "get on their bikes ... ") and improve their lives by doing so. What the government should be doing is encouraging mobility: making housing and jobs available in the locations where people want to live. Building homes that people can afford to buy or rent and ensuring there are enough schools, shops, hospitals and roads in those places.
There's little point spending £££s installing broadband if the population has all buggered off due to a lack of schools, shops or decent houses.

It's also possible that the top brass *did* trust the employees (to do the work without supervision), but that the employees betrayed that trust and goofed around all the time, instead of working.

Re: More than just doing the job
A big part, possibly the biggest part, of working in a team is spreading the knowledge. For an individual, sitting in a darkened room hacking away, writing 1,000 lines per day (or whatever measure of productivity - if not quality - you employ) may well get the job done. However, as the AC below illustrates perfectly: that's all it does. You may well ask "but what more is there?" to which the reply would be: Spreading the knowledge. Growing the team. Letting others benefit from your specialities and you from theirs.
The ex-iBMer illustrates this perfectly. Sure, the immediate problem got fixed (in record time: respect is due). But that's all that happened. The knowledge was still locked away in one person's head - so the next time a similar problem crops up, there's still only 1 person who could deal with it.
That might be good in the short-term, but it's no way to build a knowledgable and cohesive team: one that will pull together, help each other out and generally be worth more than the sum of their parts. Some of that can be done electronically, but the unstructured, chance meetings and conversations can't. The "whatcha doin? -- hey that looks like something Fred was trying last week - You should go talk to ... they had a guy in with a solution to that " conversations don't happen when each "professional" is (metaphorically) locked away in their own little world. Likewise, people can't ask you for help - it's too easy to fob them off or ignore their emails. Professionalism is as much about the good of the team as delivering your own personal goals.
That's what working with other, similarly talented, people lets you do, that you can't do on your own. It's also something that not many companies recognise as having value.
More than just doing the job
> the more employees we get into the office the better
Can't argue with that. There are two aspects to being a professional: doing the stuff youve been told to do and being a part of the company. The first can usually be done from anywhere and home working is a good solution for that. However, the second part does require human contact with colleagues. It is necessary for the chance meetings, the networking and the social interaction / bonding needed to turn a group of people into a team.
Having said that, in any company there will always be a proportion of employees who's biggest contribution to the success of the company is to shut the hell up and not touch anything. For these individuals, home working should not only be allowed, it should be mandatory.

It seems to me to fall between both.
If you're just going to run embedded code with no O/S, there are better, smaller, (probably) cheaper and less power-hungry ways of doing it. If you are going to boot an O/S, there are smaller, more powerful, more capable (e.g. the dual-core 1GHz/1GB, SATA Cubieboard2) and (possibly) cheaper alternatives for that, too.
With either of these propositions, it's going to be the user created support that makes or breaks it. I wonder if anyone would port BeOS/Haiku to it?
Basically RUBBISH 'COMET of the Century' ISON snapped by HiRISE in Mars orbit
The media always hype this stuff
Every year we get some breathless pundit squealing with delight about a meteor shower with words like "fantasic", "spectacular" and whatever superlatives still have some life (if not credibillity) left in them. The same goes for comets, eclipses, conjuctions andall the rest. One budding journo picks up as astronomical announcement and exudes awe about it - that's picked up by another who embellishes the first's work - then another with more exaggeration and finally it hits the TV and we're all exhorted to view this "sight of the century" (which seems to occer every few years).
Almost all of them are a damp squib.
Whether that's because the uncertainy and qualifications that the original bulletin contain get left out for reasons of making the news "public friendly", or astronomers genuinely thought it would turn out better. However in the UK the main reasons seem to be the weather, the light pollution and TV presenters (and their script writers) who have no concept at all - none whatsoever - about how bright, or dim all of these events are.
We were "promised" a comet earlier this year - FAIL! Sure: it turned up on time, but it was a huge disappointment. Same goes for all theother ones since Halley, 25 years ago. Maybe the media should learn their lesson and just let it all go - though then they'd probably be inundated by calls from scared and ignorant viewers about "strange lights inthe sky". You can't win.
You're either mighty brave or mighty stupid. So which is it, Twitter?
Can a fail whale float?
Most web "phenomena" last a few years. They grow and grow, become the darling of the online press - then the wind changes and all their users desert them (sometimes helped by unpopular changes, managerial incompetence or the next "big thing" being bigger and thingier than they are). Twitter has had a good run and round about now you'd expect it to start sliding as the next generation of internet users dismiss Twitter as being "for old people".
So why go for an IPO? Possibly to staunch the slide. Buy up the competiton, or expand by aquisiton - or maybe just to cash out while there's still some money in Twitter as a going concern.
Either way, given the current climate there's no good time to float (or sink), but on the presumption that the financial situation won't be getting any better for some time, and that Twitter's shelf-life could be coming to the end, this would seem like a good time for them. Whether it's a good time for investors? No-one can say.

I expect that a lot of individuals won't even be aware that the end is nigh. I expect that a lot of companies simply consider PCs to be a commodity, like chairs or employees and will need to actually see something catch fire before they are willing to consider an abstract concept such as a lack of bug-fixes to be anywhere on their priority list.
On top of that, it's not as if they could just take a PC, apply some "stuff" to it and voila! the problem has gone. No, the hardware will need to be upgraded, possibly the software too - maybe even the peripherals (now many modern PCs have VGA ports, or parallel ports). So given that this lack of "support" won't actually stop anything running, whereas mitigating it will be (a) expensive and (b) disruptive, then sitting with your thumbs up your bum waiting to see what (if anything) happens, is a rational strategy.
That's certainly what I intend to do with the 3 "retired" XP computers that are now just instances that run under VirtualBox, if I need one of their applications, like Photoshop.

Back in the mid 1970's there was a machine called the PERQ.

Instead we're bogged down with eye-candy written by some very clever programmers with extreme technical skills, but bugger all utility so far as designing a user interface goes.
Reversing Moore's Law
I guess the answer to "Why do all this?" would be "because we can".
After all, if Linux interfaces just stuck to the basics of running an application in however much (or little) of the user's screen it needed - possibly with a little cut'n'paste, there wouldn't have been the need for any interface development for the past 20 or more years. Though we might have machines that boot in a couple of seconds and will run off batteries for days on end.
But since all the new, wizzy, capabilities we get in desktops - and also appearing in portable devices have the power, memory and graphics ability to do all these things (irrespective of whether anyone will use them), that's what we get.
Personally, I'd much prefer a user interface that contained one simple question and a box for the user to type, write or speak the answer. If all the power and ingenuity that the UI guys have expended on X, Wayland, Mir and all the other stuff had been focused on the average user, that box might just say
Tell me what you want to do?
And it would then go off and (accurately) start up all the stuff necessary to service the user's request.
Wouldn't that be better than all this eye-candy - though it would certainly be duller.

Obscurity for security
So, a branch of government has a group. That group creates a scheme. That scheme identifies 3 levels of competency (OK, let's pretend they map onto knowing what the hell you're talking about - with some sort of positive correlation). Within those rankings, there are 6 roles. And on top of that, another bunch has another programme for certification, that's different.
Then after 3 years yo have to do it all again.
This seems like an excellent plan for identifting both individuals who value letters, titles and accreditations and also for identifying organisations that are so lacking in real-world direction, experience and judgement that they would value such confused and surreal web of qualifications.
Having seen ITIL (another government initiative, that assumes an infinite amount of manpower, time, meeting-rooms and budget to get anything done) at first hand in a couple of organisations I can only assume that goal behind this announcement is to put a stop, once and for all, to anyone having any hope of matching a competent worker with a security requirement.

> If you lose money from your bank account the banks give it back to you.
But is that what really happens?
The way I see it is that a bank has a duty to put in place sufficient security for it to keep our money safe. That's safe from (traditional) theft, safe from internet theft and safe from themselves being unable to give it back to us when we ask for it.
So far, cash machine security measures haven't evolved much beyond the PIN-code systems that were around in the 1970's - though my PIN in those days was 6 digits, instead of the 4 we have today. Is that really progress?
Although for home banking I now have a nice little card reader, courtesy of my bank, that "proves" I am in posession of my card when I log on to their computers, I still feel that the onus is on the banks to make sure their security is up to scratch to protect our money. There will always be some crime, the goal for security measures is to reduce it to a level that we customers are willing to pay: both in terms of losses from theft and the cost of the measures to prevent it.

Re: If you live in a lake, it takes longer to walk to the well
> As living standards rise, birth rate drops
Quite. That's an observation that appears to be universal. However, it just tells us the "what" not the "why". The reason birth rates drop seems to have something to do with city life. The other side of rising living standards is that more and more people live in cities. They / we need to do that, as that is where the jobs are (don't talk about telecommuting, see later) and most people are pressured for living space in cities - as well as not having many child-friendly open spaces, facilities and a fear of letting their kids near strangers.
However, take away the restrictions of cities, whether by letting people work where they live, not having to work at all or doing their job remotely (there's that telecommuting bit) and all those limitations regarding children and wanting a nice environment for them to grow up in, they all go away.
Therefore it's reasonable to assume that once we are free to leave the cities behind, there WILL be an explosion in the birthrate (esp. if we have lots more free time ;) )and the number of children and therefore the population WILL become limited, as Malthus predicted, simply by our ability to feed all those open mouths.

I have been your District Leader or State Democratic Committee Member since 1995. Every year I give my neighbors advice about how and why to vote.

I try very hard to avoid these smooth folks every time I go to the mall, but this time this young man had a small take-away sample. I thought I could get away with that, but then, like a fish on a hook, he got me to come into the kiosk and try a salt scrub on my hand. These fellows, claiming to be from Israel, are slick. Tell you that you are beatiful, that their products will make this or that line disappear, etc. etc. I liked the salt...my hands were dry from working in the yard and the pool. They felt good and I actually thought I'd like to buy the product. And he had me. Next thing I knew he was sitting me down and putting cream on my crows feet, filling the scowl mark I've had on my forehead for 35 years and putting some firming lotion on that warmed up and "tightened" my skin. I said I didn't have the money to pay for it, which I really don't as I was just coming from a jeweler after selling a gold bracelet for next weeks food money. He's telling me that these products sell for hundreds of dollars, and I would stand up to leave and he would say but for you....its less. And before I knew it I had four full sized jars of gook and I was forking out $300 in cash. He even asked about my kids, got me to show him pictures of my oldest daughter and asked for her phone number. All with a sweet smile, a connecting gaze and a gentle touch as he smeared this crap on my face. As I have read elsewhere, he started bundling product and showed me the computer screen and how he was giving me these deep discounts. And like a stupid American, taught to be polite, I didn' question him at all and parted with my cash.
I didn't even get out of the mall before I felt bamboozled, so I sent my son back with the bag and the receipt to ask for my money back. No refunds. I feared that if I went back, he'd sell me more!
I looked the products I purchased up on Amazon....Nothing was over $100. And to be specific, the Eye serum I paid 199.99 for...sells for $80.00 on line. The salt scrub I originally liked, was also going to be $199, and on Amazon, its $26.80.
I bought something like this a long time ago and have avoided these folks ever since. But the hook this time was the tiny "free: packet of hand lotion. Who can resist free? And come on...haven't we all wondered just a little bit about these Dead Sea products? These folks are professionals...they know our buttons, and are brazen hustlers to the worst degree.
Keep walking...experiment by buying a few things on line.

Parra Shines in his Miller Park Debut! Brewers win 4-3
Gerardo Parra made his Miller Park debut a memorable one. He hit a go ahead home run in the 7th inning and made a diving catch in the 8th inning to lead the Milwaukee Brewers to a 4-3 win Tuesday night over the San Francisco Giants at Miller Park. The Brewers took a 3-0 lead behind 3 RBI's from Carlos Gomez including his 16th home run of the season before Pablo Sandovol tied it with a 3 run shot in the 6th inning. Francisco Rodriguez pitched the ninth to earn his 33rd save of the season. With the win, the Brewers remain 1 game ahead of St. Louis in the National League Central Division. The same two teams will meet once again on Wednesday night, Yovani Gallardo gets the start for the Brewers. The game can be heard on News Talk 1150-WHBY with the pre-game show at 6:35pm and first pitch at 7:10pm.

Thanks for choosing 1-800-PACK-RATThe Simplest Way to Store or Move your Stuff.
November Rating:
4.33 out of 5 's
Each 1-800-PACK-RAT customer receives a survey at the end of their contract and are asked to rate our service based on whether or not they would recommend 1-800-PACK-RAT to a friend or relative. Below are customers' ratings and comments from those surveys.
I contracted for 3 containers for a long distance move. I was very pleased with the service and especially the helpfulness and friendliness of all of your personnel. The drivers were excellent and did everything they could to place the pods where and when I specified. Your business model is great and your people were exceptional in every way. Thanks for a great moving experience!
I would highly recommend Pack Rat!!! From my first phone call to just get information, to the last phone call, everyone was extremely helpful. We even changed our mind as to what state we were going to move to, our pods arrived just as they were packed.
Our move was exhausting. But the convenience of packing and unpacking at our own speed, was very helpful. The service was excellent. The employees were all very polite and helpful. All the way from Illinois to California. The containers were delivered as packed. Very little out of place. Will recommend to all.
We had read of the many experiences that others had had with containers. PackRat was none of those bad experiences. They performed as they said they would. The container was delivered, picked up and moved flawlessly. All of our belongings arrived just as they were packed. They even picked it up one day early. Everyone was courteous, friendly, and professional. I have already recommended you to others who were moving. You guys did a fantastic job!!! Thanks for being there. I will continue to recommend you.
Moving is stressful and with Pack-Rat, we felt as though we had our own personal relocation team at our disposal. I made 3 or 4 phone calls each time I was provided with consistent accurate answers that were provided with a knowledgeable friendly team. The folks at the contact center are well trained. I am impressed. Keep up the excellent service.
I really shopped around before moving both my home and my business, Audio-Depot, across the country. I considered everything from moving by freight to renting trucks. Not only was shipping by pod the most convenient option by far, but in the long run it was the least expensive as well. PackRat gave me the best deal, handling 33% more weight than the nearest competitor's pods. I am a satisfied repeat customer!
I have moved and stored my furniture several times but I must say moving and storing with Pack Rat was easy, safe and by far the best move ever. I liked the fact my furniture was stored in the pods it was not handled by anyone until I unpacked the pods. Thank you Pack Rat for your professional service.
