Your task
What do you believe?
One way to understand what literature is for is to view the author's world view. In this way we see The Quiet American as Graham Greene's opinion on how life is. He has opinions on love, religion, friendship, loyalty and lots else. These are sometimes more prosaically described as 'themes' but to do this also tends to reduce the novel to studyable parts, and we lose sight of its essential beauty.
Your task is to present to the class a snapshot of your world view, set next to Greene's. Is it sometimes right to murder? Is war ever justified? Should people get married? What does Greene think? What do you think?

Basic pharmaceuticals including APIs became even more important revenue generators for Ireland in 2013 according to new data released by the Central Statistics Office (CSO).
The net selling value of products made and sold by Irish firms in 2013 was €89.9bn ($121.5bn) up 4.6% on the previous year, thanks mainly to the value of basic pharmaceutical products and preparations made in the country growing 7.2% to €29bn.
Drugs and chemicals also contributed a bigger share of revenue according to a CSO spokesman, who told in-Pharmatechnologist.com that: "As a percentage of total industrial production in 2013, pharmaceuticals and chemicals accounted for 44.6%."
In 2012, revenue from manufacturing in Ireland was €85.9bn with pharmaceuticals and chemicals accounted for 43.7% of all sales.
New entrants drive
The CSO spokesman declined to specify what had driven the drug manufacturing growth, explaining that the PRODCOM survey "collects details of the manufacturing activities and/or industrial services relating to industrial units for the year.
He added that: "Information relates to the sales and or fees earned in relation to all products manufactured in Ireland or outsourced abroad by our enterprises and sold during the year in Ireland or throughout the world.
"As the survey reported the Nett Selling Value (NSV) we can only report aggregated values. The values and volumes reported by individual units are subject to confidentiality rules and cannot be disclosed."
According to a report in the Irish Independent "the rise in value is attributed to a range of factors, including the fact that new entrants were included in the data and that a blockbuster drug came off patent only halfway through the year."
The 2013 figures also underline the importance of the pharmaceuticals for Ireland's manufacturing sector relative to other EU member states where – also according to the survey - 11.7% of industrial revenue comes from drug making.

One ancient practice nearly wiped out in the United States by "progress" was the widespread use of animal power in many important endeavors, including farming, hauling, logging, herding and various types of transportation. In the late nineteenth century, for example, getting around in New York City meant employing at least one of the nearly 200,000 horses stabled in the city (whose manure production posed a serious and perennial public health hazard). Equally hard to imagine today is the knowledge that until the adoption of tractors in the1920s, nearly all American agriculture was powered by livestock!
As someone who came of age among the asphalt suburbs of Phoenix, Arizona during the 1970s-the nadir years for animal power in the U.S.-these historical facts were hard to comprehend when I first heard them. Although I had spent my youth around horses, they were strictly the recreational variety. I knew nothing about draft animals or horse farming, except that they had become an anachronism, replaced forever by petroleum, or so I assumed. Therefore, it came as a surprise in the 1990s to learn that animal power was making a comeback, draft horses in particular, propelled by rising concerns about carbon pollution and oil scarcity. Cool!
But what exactly
was animal power?
I decided to find out. In early July a few years ago, I traveled to the heart of Amish country in central Ohio to attend an annual event called Horse Progress Days, which is partly a celebration of horse farming and partly a convention of farmers intending to witness the latest in animal-powered "technology"-a word that must be used judiciously, given the famous Amish disdain for gadgetry. The most educational part of my trip, however, happened on the evening of my arrival.
Standing at the second-story railing of my hotel, I watched an Amish family bale and load hay in an adjacent field. The hay had been cut a day or two earlier to dry and now needed to be "put up" before the leaden sky began to drizzle. There was a calm, methodical urgency to the family's work. The apparent patriarch of the family, wearing the standard Amish uniform of straw hat, plain shirt, suspenders and black pants, stood in a hay baler that was so old it looked like it belonged in a history museum. It sounded old, too. Its single-stroke engine, whose job was to compress the loose hay into a square bale and bind it with string, sputtered and choked so noisily that I expected it to give up and die at any moment.

A quick recipe for lamb rib chops
City Kitchen: A quick preparation for lamb rib chops. Coat rib chops in a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese, then fry them gently in olive oil to give them a crisp, golden, savory crust. Recipe: Parmesan Lamb Chops
The New York Times
We think of spring as the season of the lamb, but in truth, the term "spring lamb" is a misnomer. The lamb you see in shops now is from animals 6 to 9 months old, which means they were born last fall at the earliest. The exception is suckling or milk-fed lamb, only a few weeks old, which is a delicacy prized in Europe but rarely available in the United States. If you can find it, it is extraordinary.
Modern breeding practices make lamb available year round, and it is now relatively mild-flavored, raised to a smaller size than mutton, which is a sheep 1 to 2 years old. One doesn't see mutton much in this country — it is more often found in the British Isles — though some cooks favor its more intense taste. Generally speaking, with lamb, smaller is better when it comes to flavor.
The rack of lamb and the loin, which can be quickly grilled or sauteed, are more expensive than the braising cuts, like shank or shoulder. Yet for a splurge dinner, rib chops (the tender little chops from the rack) make tasty morsels, and cooking them at home is still far cheaper than ordering them at a restaurant.
Though you can buy individual rib chops, it is easy to cut a rack into eight chops yourself, which is more economical. (You will want to have it Frenched, that is, trimmed to expose the bones and rib-eye. Most butchers sell lamb racks that are already prepared this way.) How many chops make a portion? Two make a moderate serving, but you may need three or four for heartier appetites.
A wonderful way to prepare rib chops is to coat them in a mixture of breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese, then fry them gently in olive oil to give them a crisp, golden, savory crust. Served with lemon wedges and a pile of garlicky greens like broccoli rabe or spinach, they make a lovely springtime treat.
Time: About 30 minutes
Yield: 2 to 3 servings
1 small rack of lamb, Frenched by a butcher, about 1 ½ pounds, or 8 3-ounce rib chops
Salt and pepper
½ cup breadcrumbs, preferably homemade
½ ounce grated Parmesan (about ½ cup)
½ teaspoon powdered fennel seed (use an electric spice mill or mortar and pestle)
1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
½ cup flour seasoned with ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper and a pinch cayenne
2 small eggs, lightly beaten
Olive oil for frying (or substitute clarified butter or vegetable oil)
Parsley sprigs for serving
Lemon wedges for serving
1. With a sharp knife, cut between bones to divide the rack of lamb into 8 chops. Trim chops of any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. In a small bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, fennel seed and rosemary.
3. Dip each chop into the seasoned flour, then into the beaten eggs. Lay the chops on a baking sheet and sprinkle both sides of each liberally with the crumb mixture. Press any remaining mixture evenly over the chops to coat well.
4. In a wide skillet, pour the olive oil to a depth of ½ inch. Heat over a medium-high burner until the oil looks wavy. Add the chops without crowding. They should begin to sizzle, but not brown too quickly. Adjust the heat so they fry gently for about 2 ½ minutes, until crisp and golden. Turn with tongs and fry on the other side for about 2 minutes. (The interiors should be pink and juicy, but not rare.) Blot on paper towels. Serve with parsley sprigs and lemon wedges.

November 24, 2014
Defense attorneys say Berry Hall was not mentally stable during the 2008 shooting, but prosecutors argue that he acted in cold blood following a property dispute with Lisa and Alan Tackett.
"Don't sound like you were trying to kill them?" asked Floyd County Commonwealth's Attorney Brent Turner. "Don't sound like I was," replied Hall.
"Well to me it sounds like you were," said Turner.
"No actually I weren't," Hall replied defensively.
The defense called on two doctors to describe Hall's mental health.
The first said he had given Hall an IQ test which resulted in a score of 71.
"If you get very far below an 85, then it means you struggle with your thinking and reasoning ability. You're not as sharp as other people are," said Dr. James Walker.
Both doctors testified that Hall has very serious depression. They agree that Hall has what is called Major Depressive Disorder, but prosecutors ask, if that is their diagnosis, why didn't they put it in their reports?
Dr. Walker says that at the time the report was made, in 2010, he had not made an official diagnosis and needed more time with Hall to determine one.
But both doctors agree that Major Depressive Disorder coupled with a low IQ could drastically impact Hall's ability to think clearly, especially with stressors like his family's argument.
The defense will continue its case tomorrow.

You've probably heard of "the gift that keeps on giving"… Though I doubt you knew it was on sale this holiday season at Mall St. Matthews and Oxmoor Center Mall on Shelbyville Road.
In a somewhat creative effort to keep up the momentum that the season of gift-giving gets going in most commercial centers, the two malls have started a promotion called "January Jingle" that began December 26th and runs through January 17th.
The concept is this: If you were given a gift card that is valid for either of these shopping establishments or any stores within them, you are eligible to win $3000 more in gift cards. Just make sure to fill out a registration form and drop the used-up card at the January Jingle display in the food court.

This new work from Zoi Dimitriou, the Greek choreographer who lives and works in London, explores the limits of tolerance and the margins of risk in our rigidly structured 21st-century society. Theories on the "risk society" tell us that the darker aspects of progress—the nuclear threat, climate change and the economic crisis, for starters—can regulate social conflict by subjecting contemporary man to repressed stress and fears. Inspired by La jetée (1962), the avant-garde masterpiece from the French film-maker Chris Marker, the emerging choreographer fearlessly expands her choreographic idiolect to embrace new modes of on-stage narration.

The Owner purchased this cottage in 2010
Why The Owner chose Blowing Rock
Great Location to skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, downtown Blowing rock, ASU, Boone and trails.
What makes this cottage unique
Picnic area, 2 Fitness Centers, access to the main Inn and Sauna
Guestbook comments from the owner
We found this cute little cottage to be very clean and welcoming. The surrounding was also very well landscaped and maintained. We had a very enjoyable stay and look forward to returning here in the future. The cabin was a great value for our weekend getaway.
The TV was not the main focus of our visit to the mountain, but it would been more comfortable if it could have been views from the bedroom area. The small sofa in the living room is not overly comfortable for two or more to stretch out while watching a movie. That aside, we had a great time.

The Gift/Driftwood Lyrics - Aselin Debison
Review The Song (2)
A poor orphan girl named Maria
Was walking the market one day
She stopped for to rest by the roadside
Where a bird with a broken wing lay
A few moments passed till she saw it
For its feathers were covered with sand
And soon cleaned and wrapped it was traveling
In the warmth of Maria's small hand
She happily gave her last peso
On a cage made of rushes and twine
She fed it loose corn from the market
And watched it grow stronger with time
Now the gift-giving service was coming
And the church shone with tinsel and light
And all of the townfolk brought presents
To lay by the manger that night
There where diamonds, incense and perfumes
And packages fit for a king
But for one ragged bird in a small cage
Maria had nothing to bring
She waited till just before midnight
So no one would see her go in
And crying she knelt by the manger
For her gift was unworthy of him
Then a voice spoke to her through the darkness
"Maria, what brings you to me?
If the bird in the cage is your offering
Open the door, let me see"
So she trembled, she did as he asked her
And out of the cage the bird flew
Soaring up into the rafters
On a wing that had healed good as new
Just then the midnight bells rang out
And the little bird started to sing
A song that no words could recapture
For its beauty was fit for a king
Now Maria felt blessed just to listen
To that cascade of notes sweet and long
As her offering was lifted to heaven
By the very first nightingale's song

text: The drunken-sailor school of fiscal responsibility by John Hayward 25 Mar 2013 View Discussion Share This: In response to One Night in Paris*: This sort of thing happens all the time - we see an expense total that looks outrageous enough on the surface, but then you start digging into the numbers and it seems impossible for even Uncle Sam to have wasted so much money, so quickly. To say that nobody involved in these little spending sprees is doing even the most elementary comparison shopping or cost-cutting would be an understatement. Whenever we point out these insane abuses, we hear liberals saying "oh, come on, relax, what's half a million bucks compared to government spending? Washington blows through that much money ever 45 seconds. These little extravagances are not the driving force behind the budget deficit. And besides, our top officials have to look rich and powerful to impress their counterparts from other countries." But it's not hard to see how this mindset infiltrates government spending at every level. Money is no object; it flows without limit, and Washington can just keep printing up dollars until the rubes out in flyover country get nervous about the national debt - at which point they'll be told the debt accumulated by irresponsible politicians is now an iron-clad argument for tax increases. Expecting fiscal restraint from the boobs who think nothing of blowing millions on all-expenses-paid junkets for their huge imperial contingents is insane. If nobody in the upper echelons of the federal government behaves as if there's a spending problem, no one beneath them will believe it, either. That might be part of the point - besides very obviously enjoying the lavish perks of their offices, Biden and Obama want to send a message that the good times are still rolling for government. It helps their witless supporters keep their chins up when it's time to troll conservative websites and insist there's no debt crisis... unless, of course, we happen to be passing through one of those periods when the Left wants everyone to pony up more tax money, in which case there's a debt crisis, but it was entirely caused by rich people stealing The People's Money with unfair tax cuts and throwing themselves a big party. Corporate CEOs have been known to throw money around too, but just imagine Shotgun Joe toddling before a shareholder meeting and trying to justify the $150k-per-head tab for taking his staff on a luxury joyride through London and Paris. Imagine him trying to explain why he made the trip in the first place.

"Crazy addictive!"
Kate did an amazing job on this series!!! She portrayed each character as if if were different people reading the story. Great inflection and tone!!!
Emotional roller coaster!!
"Second Chances"
Quip, sexy, charming
Kitchen table.....
Lena was sharp, funny, independent, and strong.
Without giving too much away, the last chapter...
The series was fun to listen to. Lead was build around Lena and Jimmy and their relationship and antics. Their banter was funny and Kylie Scott did a great job writing Lena's character. Overall it was hard to put down.
"Ordinary Meets Extraordinary"
Ordinary girl meets rock star. A Cinderella story is aways fun.
Of course David Ferris. How can you pass up the gorgeous rocker falling for a sweet regular girl.
Andi did a very good job bringing the characters to life.
Partying in Vegas
"Too Good to Be True"
Yes, if audio is well done, it brings the characters to life.
Without giving too much away...the dance studio.
The dance studio.
Close, maybe 2-3 days.
This is my favorite book of Christina Lauren thus far. She did a wonderful job. However, I would like to have liked to have more detail about her time in Paris, Ansel's mysterious background, and the night they first met.
Magnificent, powerful, thought-provoking
I loved Hazel and Augustus both, and especially together. However, if I were to have to choose, it would be Hazel. She is a character wise beyond her years. She is brilliant, full of humor, courageous, and a beautiful person.
I loved Gus's last words to her, when she receives the email from Amsterdam. Can't give too much away!
Absolutely. I had it finished in less than 24 hours.
John Green has created a powerful and exceptional story! The topic is sad and hard to push through with minimal tears. However, it is sweet, thoughtful, and threaded with life lessons. I love the characters, their humor, and their courage. Kate Rudd is my favorite author and she has brought the characters and words to life....once again!
"Blurred Lines!"
Yes, this book was written very well and Lee Angel has done a fabulous job bringing it to life.
She brings each character to life. She was able to differentiate between accents, personalities, and emotions.
The characters had a good sense of humor, so they did make me giggle. He had that emotional, hard to put down pull, but it did not bring me to tears.
"Weak Lead Character"
The lead character became annoying with her perpetual weaknesses.
Luke was a great character, one that you wanted to root for the entire book. The story was a bit weak.
The performance was very average. Not memorable, but did not detract terribly from the book.
"A Good Conclusion to the Series"
Finally, a great narrator. Thank you for bringing Kirby into the mix. He made the last book. I also enjoyed the conclusion to the series.
I have listened to his books. He always does a great job. His performance in this book was consistent with his other books, very good.
The Slams very awesome! Well done!
"Carving Pumpkins"
The series is improving and the writing more interesting. I rank it just below half way down my list.
Will was my favorite character. He is a strong and interesting presence mature beyond his years.
I can't believe this narrator was considered for this book. No inflection, boring, and mild accent took away from the story.
"Intriguing but poor narration"
The Slams were intriguing. Very dissatified with the narration. It really hurt the book.
I have listened to her Losing Hope books. They were outstanding! This did not hold up to those standards; however, this could be in part due to the poor narration.
Kate Rudd or Emily Gavin
Not really, but I was intrigued by her Slams.
"Best of the 3"
I was not a huge fan of this series; however, I want to get to the conclusion. I would not recommend this series, but I must admit this is the best of the 3.

Okay, if you come in here and the first thing you notice is the little tiny girl and the fairies behind her, stay with us. This is good, we promise.Twinkle Star Sprites is a Cute 'em Up created by ADK in 1996. It was initially released as an arcade game for the Neo Geo platform and is available for the Sega Saturn, and the Sega Dreamcast.In Story mode, you play as Load Ran with her faithful Rabbicat as they try to find the Magical Twinkle Star and save their world from the evil Mevious and his henchmen. Along the way, she encounters friend and foe alike after the Twinkle Star themselves or are trying to stop Ran from doing so. Free Character mode lets you play as one of the other characters and lets you see what would happen if they got the Twinkle Star.This is where it gets interesting. Unlike most shmups where players play cooperatively, Twinkle Star Sprites is a competitive shooter where one player is pitted against another or the computer across the screen, where each player has their own half of the field. The game itself is rather short, so its main attraction is in Versus Mode, where players can choose one of nine characters (thirteen, if you count the four secret characters). Players attack each other by destroying enemies and their explosions can be chained together to wipe out more enemies. When the chain ends, fireballs (how many depend on how long the chain is) are volleyed over in varying trajectories across the screen to the other player's side. These fireballs can be shot back by destroying them or if they get caught in another chained explosion. If these flashing fireballs are destroyed again individually, you will perform a character-specific extra attack, but if destroyed in a group of 3 or more indirectly (as in, by the explosions of enemies around it), you will perform a boss attack, which summons a mini-boss to the opponent's field to really mess up their game. The gameplay can quickly get even more hectic with the appearance of a Fever orb (activated only by a bomb or an enemy explosion), which doubles the speed and rate at which fireballs are shot.Sound complicated? While it's difficult to explain, in play it's actually incredibly simple and incredibly addictive, while still providing a fairly in-depth metagame. Matches on average last anywhere from 30 seconds to three minutes; any longer and you've got two really skilled players. If you're curious, gameplay videos can be found here.There is a sequel on the PS2 called Twinkle Star Sprites: La Petite Princesse, released in 2005, though it was not released stateside. It introduced a new cast of characters (mostly clones of the original cast), as well as having a few returning characters (namely, Load Ran, Dark Ran, Really Till, Yan Yan-Yung, Memory, and technically Kim) for a total of fifteen characters (Load Ran, Really Till, and the final boss Mikoto are unlockables). The rest of the cast usually shows up in the story mode at some point as a cameo, but were ultimately not playable (Arthur, Mevious, and even the titular character Sprites herself is this).For similar games, see Touhou's Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream and Phantasmagoria of Flower View and Seihou's Kioh Gyoku.

|TEM micrograph showing hepatitis B virions
|Virus classification
|Group VII (dsDNA-RT)
Hepadnaviruses are a family of enveloped, double-stranded viruses which can cause liver infections in animals—including humans. Its most well-known member is the Hepatitis B virus.
There are two recognized genera:
- Genus Orthohepadnavirus; type species: Hepatitis B virus
- Genus Avihepadnavirus; type species: Duck hepatitis B virus
The name of the family comes from : hepa(for HEPAtic)-DNA-virus.
Hepadnaviruses have very small genomes of partially double-stranded, partially single stranded circular DNA. The genome consists of two uneven strands of DNA. One has a negative-sense orientation, and the other, shorter, strand has a positive-sense orientation.
As it is a group 7 virus, replication involves an RNA intermediate. Three main open reading frames are encoded (ORFs) and the virus has four known genes which encode the core protein, the virus polymerase, surface antigens (preS1, preS2, and S) and the X protein. The X protein is thought to be non-structural; however, its function and significance are poorly understood.
Hepadnaviruses replicate through an RNA intermediate (which they transcribe back into cDNA using reverse transcriptase). The reverse transcriptase becomes covalently linked to a short 3- or 4-nucleotide primer.[1] Most hepadnaviruses will only replicate in specific hosts, and this makes experiments using in vitro methods very difficult.
The virus binds to specific receptors on cells and the core particle enters the cell cytoplasm. This is then translocated to the nucleus, where the partially double stranded DNA is 'repaired' by the cell to form a complete circle of DNA. It then undergoes transcription by the host cell RNA polymerase and the transcript is translated by host cell ribosomes. New virus particles are formed, which acquire lipid from the endoplasmic reticulum of the host cell, and the genome is packaged within these particles, which then bud off from the cell.
Hepadnavirus-infected cells translate the protein known as the virus surface antigen many times until there is too much protein to coat the virions formed. These proteins then aggregate to form rod shapes, and it is this antigen, known as hepatitis B surface antigen, which is released from the cell and which leads to a very strong immune response from the host.
Based on the presence of viral genomes in bird DNA it appears that the Hepatoviruses evolved >82 million years ago.[2] Birds may be the original hosts of the Hepatovirus with mammals becoming infected after a bird -> mammal host shift.

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

(Read this if your event is a show in the Old Theatre).
Over the summer of 2012 the School in conjunction with the Students Union worked together to arrange the funding for, and installation of an upgraded lighting system in the Old Theatre.
If you are having an entertainment event (a play, dance show etc.) and you wish to use this system there are several steps you will need to complete.
You will need to arrange in advance to get members of your society trained to use the new lighting board, which controls the lights. This needs to be arranged via the Students Union. Please view the LSESU How to Guide| on this (you will have scroll down the page to the Old Theatre equipment section). Please arrange this asap, do not leave this till the last minute.
Once members of your society have been trained on how to use the lighting board you will be able to then use the lighting system in the Old Theatre at your rehearsals and at your show but you will need to arrange to get the key from the Students Union, this needs to be arranged with Iain Pullar from the SU. You will also need to arrange for the system to be switched on, on each date and time you wish to use it. The system is switched on by an LSE electrician. This needs to be arranged by your society.
Procedure for arranging for the lighting system to be made active.
Advise the Conference office emailing email@example.com| with the date and time of your rehearsal/s and show/s
Please note that organisers are not allowed to arrange for extra equipment to be added to the existing lighting rig in the Old Theatre, or to bring in any free standing lighting equipment into this venue, or any other venue on the School premises.
When you arrange for an LSE electrician to switch on the lighting system, they will just switch the power to the system on and then off again at their end of the booking or at the end of their shift (please note their working hours below). Please note with this arrangement the electrician has not been booked to cover your event, you are just arranging for them to give you access to the lighting system, they have a basic knowledge of the lighting board but are not regular users so are unlikely to be able to assist in the working of the lighting board.
For those users who have simple lighting needs, there are some basic pre set lighting setting programmed into the pre set panel on the wall near the lighting board. Users can get the key for this pre set panel from Iain Pullar. Again to use the pre set light panel you do need to arrange to get the lighting system switched on as detailed above.
If you wish to change the angles of the lights, colour filters on the lights, or make any other changes to the existing lighting rig all of this work has to be done by an LSE electrician. LSE students, staff or anyone from outside the School are not permitted to interfere with the lighting rig for a variety of reasons. To arrange for these types of changes, an LSE electrician needs to be specifically booked to do this work, for which there may be a cost depending on when the work would be done. It would normally take 2-3 hours for this work to be done, as special scaffolding needs to be put up to give the electrician safe access to the lighting rig. If this work has to be done outside of normal working hours, they is likely to be a cost for this service. The requirement for this type of work should be much reduced given the functions of the new lights installed.
Alternatively for a weekend booking - you can also:
Cancelling electricians
To cancel an electrician inform Conference and Estates in writing (by emailing email@example.com| , cc'ed to Estates Help Desk (firstname.lastname@example.com|) at least 48 hours before the event. Failure to cancel a booked electrician for an event that does not go ahead will result in the full cost of the electricians time being charged to the society, even if the event was on a Monday to Friday and otherwise would not have been chargeable. PS: Why do we say 'up to £x per hour'? The cost varies according to which electrician actually does the overtime and what grade they are on. The price given assumes the highest graded electrician carries out the work, if it is not him then it works out cheaper.

I have a problem with my Ubuntu installation on a Macbook Pro. I can't figure out how to solve this. The problem is that i've installed Ubuntu 13.04 and i can't access my Ubuntu OS because the disk is locked by a passphrase that i can't remember. So i figure i try reinstall Ubuntu on it and choose not to have a passphrase. That was not so easy as i thought. The Macbook Pro won't boot up the USB thumb drive with the Intel x86 Ubuntu 13.04. And when i tried to install Mac OS X, it didn't work that either (no other info there).
Something is really wrong here and i can't figure out how to solve this issue.
I can access the Grub 2.0 but i don't know if i can do something in there, enter a command for partition the disk or do something else.
I don't want to have Mac OS X and Ubuntu on a different partition. I only want Ubuntu on the disk running so what can i do?

Ireland waits on Mayor Walsh
By Ed Forry, August 29, 2014
In what is expected to be a triumphal return to the birthplace of his parents, Boston Mayor Martin Walsh will head for Ireland this month. It will be his first out of country visit since his election last November.
The mayor leaves Boston for Shannon on Thursday night, Sept. 18 for a ten-day visit to the Emerald Isle. His itinerary includes five days with his Irish relatives in Connemara in his parents' home villages of Rosmuc and Carna. Walsh plans visits to Dublin, Donegal, and Derry, and will make a presentation at a Belfast conference on September 25.
After the Belfast event, he will return to Galway and spend the weekend with his family, said mayoral spokesperson Kate Norton. "The overall goal of this trip is to support Boston's economic development through building relationships and strengthening our commercial and cultural link with Ireland," Norton said.

The Federal Government has concluded arrangements to facilitate the burial of civil servants who died in the bomb blast which took place at the popular Nyanya Motor Park, Abuja.
There are also indications that the government would offset the medical bills of those who are injured in the explosion.
The Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Alhaji Bukar Goni Aji, according to a statement issued on Monday night by the Director (Communications) in his Office, Dr. Tope Ajakaiye, gave the assurance when he visited some hospitals to commiserate with the victims.
While expressing shock and sadness on the incident, Aji said it was unfortunate that some of victims died on the way to their offices where they were engaged in serving the nation.
Many civil servants were said to have been involved in the attack which killed over 200 persons.
Ajakaiye, quoted Aji as describing the explosion as targeting "innocent citizens and as a result many people, including some civil servants, lost their lives while many others were injured."
According to him, the HOS assured the wounded and families of the deceased civil servants that all efforts were being made "to assist them at this moment of distress."
Ajakaiye said, "The HOS said further that Permanent Secretaries have been directed to facilitate all arrangements for the burial and payment of entitlements to the families of deceased officers in line with civil service regulations. The HOS urges civil servants to be more security conscious and assist security agencies in the efforts being made to address the country's present security challenges."

Blue screen of death, do I need a new OS ?
I am using Windows 98 SE, a DSL modem (not usb) plugged into my netword card. The client is the original bittorrent client version 3.3.
The machine is dedicated to downloading torrents, so the only programs I ever use on it are internet explorer (to get the .torrent), windows explorer (to launch the .torrent), bittorrent itself, windows media player (to check the files I downloaded), and Nero (to burn dvds).
With this setup, I have downloaded more than 500 gb of anime, with no problem whatsoever. Then suddenly, last week, there was only *one* torrent running, it had been running fine for 3 hours or so, and I got a blue screen of death. I did not write it down unfortunately, but it had something to do with a .vxd. At the time, I thought it was related to this particular torrent, so I dismissed it as irrelevant.
Problem is, I got another blue screen of death yesterday. This is very annoying for me since unlike other bittorrent errors, it completely kills the torrent until I get to the computer.
1) Question: is it a known problem ?
If it's not, then it probably comes from the installation of win98se to be too old, and I probably need a clean install. So here comes my second question. Instead of installing win98se again, Im wondering if I would not be better off with another OS.
2) Question: which is the best OS to run to do non-stop downloads of torrents ? I need to leave it running for days at a time without input from me.
I have been using linux on other machines for some time, but I fear linux will not handle my dvd burner as well as windows.
I have been using NT/2000/XP for some time as well, but I fear NT will be too ressource-consuming. Even though the machine is a P4-1.9 with an asus intel850 motherboard and 512 mb of rambus, I still dislike the idea of letting NT run a zillion of useless processes all the time. With win98se, the aforementionned machine has been running for 7 months without being shut down for more than a few minutes.
Thanks in advance for any advice,

Knoppix (live-cd distro of linux) would seem to be a fine way of seeing how well linux can handle your DVD burner, since it's free, doesn't have to be installed on the hard drive (though it can be) and has excellent hardware detection. If that was OK, then linux would clearly be the way to go.
If not, then my impulse would be to stick with 98se.
(That's all assuming that it's not an easily fixable problem of course, which I can't confirm.)
Edit: Hmm, just thought, will knoppix on CD be able to simultaneously run and test a different disk in a DVD burner, if it's the only optical drive? Would have to load into RAM disk, I suppose. Doesn't sound too difficult.

One question which was implied in my post is: would bittorrent be rock solid under linux ? Under 98se, bittorrent never ever crashed on me until last week, and it does not leak into memory in a noticeable way. Unlike other programs like Kazaa !!! When a program in 98se crashes or leaks into memory, the whole system crashes, whereas linux can cope with it. What I wonder is if the linux versions of bittorrent are as stable as the windows version.
About knoppix, what Im afraid of is not hardware detection (my dvd burner is an asus drw-0402) but how well the nero equivalent in linux can burn dvds. Nero on 98se produces *perfect* dvds every single time.
I guess Im a bit afraid of change since my config performed so well for me up to now. 98se is not without problems, for example I have to reboot basically every time I want to launch a new program. So I am tentatively considering other OSes and wonder if they might be better than 98se.
Thanks in advance for any advice,

As far as linux and BT goes..it'll run it just fine. While some of the more "experimental" clients have their really beta versions..the official client works just fine. The only problem i have had with bit torrent under linux is moving my bt files into /usr/bin to run (later linked it somewhere else so avoid this) and it couldn't set the flag to remove the donation question. other than that bt is solid..not to mention that you can ssh into your comp and start dl's while you are not at home.
as far as dvd burning i've burned 1 dvd in linux (i run slack 9.1 with 2.6.1 now) and it burned fine. My only problem with burning any media in linux is that it seems to hit my computer pretty hard. Couldn't multitask to save my life while burning is going on. Which is why i burn in windows only :d
If you are just burning data dvd's i don't see why that would be a problem..if you are copying dvds (never done this in any os) i dunno how that would go. If you like to create your own dvd's with your own media..might want to stick with windows. Linux is way behind Mac's and Windows when it comes to multimedia imo.
I say dual boot and go wild. If not, run WinXP Pro. I burn CD/DVD till the cows come home (not to mention convert media, run bt, etc etc etc) and never really have to reboot. The only hard point i think you will hit in the linux area is the burning...unfortunatly i've only tried this on my home linux box and everyone else who i know uses linux is a supreme fanboy of it and cannot be trusted when it comes to saying something works well under linux. So it's trial and error for that. gl.
