. . Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem." (I prefer the tumult of liberty to the quiet of servitude.). Thomas Jefferson "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing." -Edmund Burke, Loosely translated from Thoughts on the Cause of Present Discontents. (1770)
Dad smoked a pipe our whole childhood. Was the cool thing if you were in college in the early 60s. He quit in the early 90s when the doctor told him his ear problems were from clenching his teeth so hard holding the pipe in his mouth. Seems like there is a lot more second hand smoke from a pipe. I smoke a cigar now and then, I quit cigarettes in the early 90s. I used to have a pipe but I don't know what happened to it. Pipes always smell way better than cigarettes or cigars.
A beard while enlisted? Think again man.
Have not had anything to smoke in four years......................
When all else fails.
Ah. After enlistment, you may find it very hard to tolerate a beard, or hair more than 3 inches long. It took me 6 years to stop taking the clippers to my head once a week, and stop shaving every morning. Even then, I still clipped my hair short every two weeks, and didn't go more than three days without shaving, until this last year. A lot of changes happened for me last year. I regret none of it.
I can see that actually. I hate having long hair. I used to be a little hippy until I grew up some.

perhaps a short ride and drink to see if we click
My women and marriage type and want children
First date should be something light. After all...we might be physically repulsed by each other. :)
Sky is the limit! I I am Not too hard to please. A ride on a back road, stopping at a local bar for a drink and something to eat, open for suggestions, your way or my way or somewhere in the middle!!
Just meet for a drink or a bite to eat. Maybe a ride if we click. If not. No rides. I'm very picky about who gets on my girl.
Best way to make all comfortable is to meet over coffee or a happy hour cocktail. Short and sweet. If there's a connections, they we can mutually agree to extended the date.
Riding to a place we can talk...have a drink
Meet for a nice relaxing cruise on the bike, stop somewhere for a great steak and some adult drinks!
Meetup someplace that's not too noisy so that we can talk and get to know more about each other. See if there is any chemistry.
Live music... Drive in country/ beach.. Meet for drinks... Some where interesting/ relaxing...
Meet and Greet. Let's see from there....
A comfortable casual encounter at a favorite restaurant bar, or local watering hole, for a meet and greet.
go for a ride if it's nice , or meet up for a drink !

This is one of my favorite conditioners of all time. I was, and still am, so happy to find it here. A little goes a long way, and it smells so wonderful to me. Great for the drier curly haired folks, like me! I have even used a tiny bit as a leave-in a few times and it's fantastic!
5Despite what other reviewers say, I think this stuff smells like chemicals. It's absolutely not my favorite smell ever . Despite this, the product is AMAZING. I have very thick, frizzy curls and this stuff works wonders to soften my hair. It's thick but doesn't weigh my hair down at all. I would have given five stars if not for the unpleasant smell.
4This product will forever be in my collection. It's a wonderful conditioner for my dry, curly locks. I also took the recommendation on the bottle to use some as a leave-in conditioner. I then tie back by hair in a low bun to sleep. The next morning, I add a little anti-frizz cream, and let it air dry. The results are wonderful, soft curls. I'm thrilled with this discovery, and even happier about the price!
5I think this is probably the best conditioner I've ever used for my thick curly hair! It's super moisturizing and leaves my hair feeling very soft. It has a nice light scent which isn't too overpowering. I'm definitely hooked to it and highly recommend it to anyone with curls.
5All the devacurl products are fantastic, especially if you have thicker hair. Perfect complement to the no-poo as long as you rinse it out well. My only complaint would be the scent, which isn't as good as some other products, but is light enough that it doesn't detract from any perfumes you might wear.

Reconnecting marginalized communities through service co-creation.
On the 21st of October 2014, four Siyakhula Living Lab researchers and Makana Apps Factory developers joined provincial and national ICT enthusiasts in the 10th annual Eastern Cape ICT summit held at the East London International Conference Centre. The theme of the event was "Technology Breaking Boundaries". It was attended by dignitaries such as the Honourable Premier of the Eastern Cape province Pumullo Masualle and SITA's CeO, Mr Freeman Nomvalo.
Our contribution was two fold; as exhibitors in the iKamva National e-Skills Institute (iNeSI) and Eastern Cape e-Skills CoLab exhibition stand to demonstrate the pre-versions of the applications Hitch-hike!, MicroTourism, Sell! and HealthMessenger, and also, through a presentation entitled ICT Research, Innovation and Development: An economic opportunity for the Eastern Cape.
The EC ICT Summit is designed as a tool for business development oppotunities through matchmaking sessions as well as to create platform to discuss topical ICT issues.
Mr Phumzile Nomnga, a first year Master of Science in Computer Science student attended the 8th International Development Informatics Association (IDIA) Conference held in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, on the 3rd to 4th of November 2014. Mr Nomnga presented a paper on "Evolution of ICT4D for Illiteracy Eradication and Knowledge Dissemination for Rural Community Development" at the conference under the theme "ICTs for Inclusive Communities in Developing Societies". Mr Nomnga attended the conference and represented His co-authors, Mr Shadreck Mudziwepasi, Mr Mphenduli Ntsizi and Mr Mfundo Shakes Scott. In addition to the presentation he participated in a dialog/debate and attended a workshop on "The Comprehensive Nature of Evaluation in ICT4D Research and Practice". Also present at the event was Professor Alfredo Terzoli who presented the paper entitled "ICT Skills Training in Marginalised Communities: A Gendered Journey with Lessons or Not?"
This conference served as a great platform for networking with fellow researchers in the field of ICT4D through a dialog/debate session which encouraged researcher's engagement on the role of ICTs for the development of rural communities", said Mr Nomnga
Article by Pride Nyambi
Miss Pride Nyambi, Mr Munyaradzi Kapfudza and Mr Shadreck Mudziwepasi made the list of delegates for the 2014 IEEE 6th International Conference on Adaptive Science & Technology (ICAST ) conference which was hosted by Covenant University in Ota, Nigeria. The three delegates presented papers on "Persona Mapping for Usability of ICTD Services", "GA optimization of Hybrid Energy Systems for telecommunications in marginalized rural areas", and "Assessment of a Wireless Sensor Network Based Monitoring Tool for Zero Effort Technologies: A Cattle-Health and Movement Monitoring Test Case" respectively.
Nyambi emphasized that "Despite the fact that the presentations were conducted virtually through Skype, the setting still enabled engagement with the delegates physically at the conference". The three researchers were in line with the topics of discussion and debate for the conference on satellite communications, Smart Utility Systems, Long Term Evolution networks, mobile technologies and m-health.

Creating much-needed higher level e-skills for global competitiveness and wealth equity
The Makana Apps Factory (MAF) Eastern Cape Developer Group took part in a series of workshops run by the ICT4G group which is a part of the Italian NGO, Fondazione Bruno Kessler, in collaboration with Rhodes University and Fort Hare University. The ICT4G group uses technology to foster economic and social development. These workshops were hosted by a Marie Curie International Research Staff Exchange Scheme Fellowship within the 7th European Community Framework Programme.
The four Ruby on Rails Developers Workshops were held in East London, Port Elizabeth and Alice during November 2014. The course focus was on the programming language, Ruby. Ruby helps build web applications very quickly and is used frequently internationally but not within South Africa.
Part of the staff exchange fellowship involved members of Fondazione Bruno Kessler coming to South Africa and Sibukele Gumbo from MAF and Siyakhula Living Lab going to Italy. The MAF is the associated app factory for the Eastern Cape e-Skills CoLab: ICT for Rural Development. It is a collaboration between the Eastern Cape e-Skills CoLab and Rhodes University.
In 2014, the Telkom Centre of Excellence (CoE) network's flagship conference, SATNAC, was brought back to the Eastern Cape province. SATNAC 2014 took place at The Boardwalk, in Port Elizabeth, from the 31st of August to the 3rd of September. Its theme, Ubiquitous broadband as an enabler to transform the lives , was relevant towards delivering broadband to all by year 2020.
The event's welcome address was delivered by Rhodes University's Deputy Vice Chancellor (and former Rhodes University CoE Head), Dr Peter Clayton, while the keynote address by Dr Siyabonga Cwele, Minister of Telecommunications and Postal Services.
The main aspects of the SATNAC conference series are the plenary sessions and presentations by the international telecommunications vendor community, and the participation of Masters and PhDs researchers linked to the 16 national CoEs. Of the 91 student oral presentations, 5 were given by Siyakhula Living Lab researchers based at the Rhodes and Fort Hare universities. A further 4 of 30 posters were displayed on the first day of the conference.
The researchers were accompanied by the Rhodes and Fort Hare CoE Heads, Prof Alfredo Terzoli and Dr Khulumani Sibanda.
In the month of June, the Siyakhula Living Lab was honoured to be part of the documentary series Leihlo la Sechaba on SABC2 in an episode focussing ICT for rural development. This exciting media coverage, captured, on site, our rural community and researcher perspectives at this present point in time.
A shortened version of the episode can be found here.
A small East London developer community has seen the start of exciting developer activities, thanks to the multi-stakeholder collaboration between the Eastern Cape CoLab, the Makana Apps Factory, WSU, Rhodes University and University of Fort Hare, Eastern Cape IT Initiative and the East London Industrial Development Zone's Science and Technology Park.
As a start, this community were involved in a 20-seat, three part Android Mobile Development workshop series started on the 29th of May, with the second session scheduled for the 25th of July. The facilitator, Prof Mamello Thinyane, presented a much commended, captivating session, assisted by the workshop coordinater Sibukele Gumbo.
The workshop series demonstrates the willingness of the SLL team (from Rhodes and Fort Hare) to develop the Eastern Cape community where possible. It also strongly indicates the need for support for the Eastern Cape developer community by provincial organisations.
Follow the progress of the workshop series here.
University of Fort Hare and Rhodes University recently sent two researchers, Sibukele Gumbo and Fortunate Gunzo for an enjoyable 6 weeks summer visit to Italy. This visit was part of the Marie Curie Actions International Staff Exchange Scheme project, ICT in Low Resource Settings: Innovating for Africa and Europe through Living Labs. Project collaborators include Fondazione Bruno Kessler(FBK, Italy), Fraunhofer FOKUS (Germany), Rhodes University and the University of Fort Hare.
In Italy, the researchers enjoyed the warm and generous hospitality by the ICT4G Unit in FBK, Trento. Together, a seminar entitled A Story of a South African Living Lab was organised and presented to members of the interlinked FBK and University of Trento communities. Subsequently, further discussions with people interested in ICT for Development occured.
On the 11th of March 2014, Siyakhula Living Lab's Sibukele Gumbo joined other established and emerging South African and Tanzanian Living Labs, and other ICT bodies in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania for a one day workshop entitled, "Living Lab workshop for co-creation and innovation between South Africa and Tanzania". The event was jointly organised by Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology (DIT), Tanzania Commission for Science and Technology (COSTECH), Living Labs in Southern Africa (LLISA) and CSIR Meraka (supported by the NRF).
The 44 attendees featured delegates from Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University LL, North West University LL, WIN LL and Reconstructed Labs in South Africa and the Ministry of Community, Science and Technology, TANZAICT, RLabs Iringa, Arusha Ecolab, Mbeya, Kegamboni Community Centre (KCC), Tanzania Youth Icon (TYI) and Sengerema Living Lab based in Tanzania.
The goals and outcomes of this workshop included awareness creation, exchange and sharing of knowledge and information borne through experiences in our centres. The attendees also had the opportunity to conduct group discussions on the advantages of Living Lab involvement to stakeholders, namely government, academia, industry and developmental bodies.
Compliments of the New Season! May 2014 keep you healthy and happy, kind and generous, and also, offer you success and happiness ;-)
To kickstart the year, we would like to share an article published last year here ;-) This article is by Sarah-Jane Bradfield, and featured in page 8 and page 9 of the Rhodes University Community Newsletter in September 2013. It highlights the contributions of myself, Sibukele Gumbo, Dr Mosioua Tsietsi and Prof Alfredo Terzoli in the Siyakhula Living Lab and Reed House Systems. The full Rhodos Newsletter is available here as well.

she rememberes the little things first.
her favorite color is purple
she likes blueberry pancakes,
and leaves pennies face-up on random street corners.
even with these pieces, it feels like
a huge chunk has been torn away that she could never retrieve
there are scars on her person
she does not remember getting.
her body is a map of memories
she does not know how to read.
they say she used to be calm and collected,
but now she is hot and fiery,
and they don't know her anymore.
but that's okay, because she doesn't know herself.
she misses the sun,
and the bad school coffee and English projects
and her own bed
and the person she was before.
even though she can't remember, she misses.
when they tell her what happened,
car crash. one dead, one survived.
internal bleeding. damage to the brain.
amnesia. amnesia. amnesia.
and she doesn't remember but she flashes between images
like loose strings that she can't help pulling.
a hand to hold. a quick smile. a skipped school.
a boy. a kiss. a Christmas. the thread that ties it all together
is white hot pain from every side.
the doctors say that she might not ever remember.
that night she mourns a boy she doesn't but did know
and a girl she doesn't see but still is.
she starts smoking. she tells her parents it's to relieve stress.
but really, she just wants to know what's
killing her.
she still sometimes gets new old memories,
but she's okay with that. she's been able to
distinguish between past and present
and were and are for a long time now.
she still doesn't know, though,
which she is.

Canadian National Railway Orders Four LNG Tenders From Westport
~ Westport Launches a New Product to Serve Natural Gas Needs of the North American Railroad Market ~
VANCOUVER, June 5, 2013 /PRNewswire/ - Westport Innovations Inc. (TSX:WPT/NASDAQ:WPRT), today announced the launch of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) tender product solution with an order for four tenders from Canadian National Railway (CN) (TSX:CNR) (NYSE:CNI). The first tender to supply fuel to an adjacent natural-gas powered locomotive will be delivered in the fourth quarter of 2013.
"There is growing consensus around the enormous potential of using LNG as a fuel for locomotives and there is a clear path for the industry to achieve this shift to a cleaner, cheaper and domestically available fuel," said Nicholas Sonntag, Executive Vice-President at Westport. "The Westport LNG Tender leverages our substantial expertise in LNG storage, cryogenic systems, and natural gas fuel delivery for mobile applications to create a product that will immediately help railroads to validate the value of LNG in their operations today, with a built-in upgrade pathway to the next-generation locomotives coming over the next few years."
Putting the LNG on a Westport LNG Tender, rather than simply replacing the diesel fuel tanks on existing locomotives, offers a number of advantages:
- More than 10,000 gallons LNG capacity - provides longer range than a diesel locomotive, reducing the need for LNG refuelling infrastructure and refuelling stops
- Intelligent fueling controls will allow tenders to supply fuel to natural gas locomotives from virtually any manufacturer, reducing operational complexity and investment in different proprietary fuel supply solutions
- Each tender can support two locomotives, reducing the capital investment required to move to LNG
- Utilizes an industry standard vehicle design and 40' LNG ISO tank, which minimizes cost and will allow production volumes to be rapidly increased as the industry migrates to LNG

Mangalore City Corporation (MCC) will take up asphalting work from December. Roads where city buses ply will be asphalted on priority basis, and it will depend on the funds available with the corporation, MCC Commissioner Harish Kumar has said.
Mr. Kumar said this in reply to observations by some councillors who highlighted the poor condition of many interior roads at a meeting of the council on Saturday.
Communist Party of India (Marxist) councillor Jayanti Shetty said the interior roads in Bajal ward were in a pathetic state. "You cannot step on these roads," she said. Ms. Shetty also said garbage collection in many of her areas was irregular. Councillor Deepak Poojary said several internal roads were in a bad shape sought immediate intervention. Councillors Bhaskar K. and Mariyamma Thomas referred to the poor quality of roadworks taken up under the MLA's Local Area Development Scheme.
Councillor James D'Souza raised the issue of frequent digging of concrete roads. "People praise concrete roads. But they also point to digging of roads, which is turning into an eyesore. Water pipelines below many of the concrete roads were leaking." Huge investment made for concrete roads goes down the drain when road cutting are being allowed for repair of leaking water pipes and other utility lines.
Councillor Appi drew attention to the bad condition of the concrete road between Father Muller Hospital and Nandigudda Circle. Mr. Kumar responded by saying that the corporation would shift utility lines while widening the road between Mannagudde and New Chitra Talkies. This stretch will be widened as per international standards and will have separate duct for utility lines. "I do not want to talk of the past. This work will cost Rs. 11.5 crore, which is about three times more than the cost taken for laying the concrete road in the way it was done earlier," he said. Mr. Kumar said similar work was being taken up between Mangaladevi temple and Pandeshwar Railway Level Crossing.
The MCC sanctioned Rs. 3 crore and Rs. 2 crore for construction of railway under bridge at Jeppu-Kutpady and on Padil-Bajal Road. The MCC is getting 60 new 500-kg garbage containers that will be installed across the city. Mr. Kumar said these new containers would be the secondary solid waste collection points.

PIAA guide to Penn State recruits
By Josh Moyer
Tyler Boyd and Clairton will play Dunsmore for a PIAA title.
With the Pennsylvania state football championships Friday and Saturday, NittanyNation decided to compile a list of competing Penn State targets and what other recruits to watch out for.
With just eight teams left, there's little time left to scout or performances left to watch. So here are the teams and players to keep an eye on in Hershey, Pa.:
Class A championship - Clairton vs. Dunmore, 1 p.m. Friday
Tyler Boyd
, 4 stars, ESPN 300
Clairton (Pa.), 6-foot-1, 175 pounds, Class of 2013
(Wears No. 23)
: Penn State is still pushing strong for Boyd -- even though he said two weeks ago that PSU was his No. 6 school. Penn State assistants Charles London and Stan Hixon attended a Clairton practice last week, and the Lions also paid him an in-home visit. At least one member of the staff will be in the stands for Friday's game, again checking in on Boyd.
James McHale
Dunmore (Pa.), 6-6, 289, Class of 2014
(Wears No. 74)
: He's a big kid, and he's been up to watch Penn State multiple times this season. Assistant coach Mac McWhorter sat in for his game Nov. 30, and it's clear McHale has high interest in Penn State. About a dozen colleges are recruiting him, and he said PSU is recruiting him the most. He has no offers yet, however.
Non-PSU recruits to watch
: Clairton CB
Titus Howard
(Pitt commit), Clairton ATH
Terrish Webb
(Kent State commit)
Class AAA championship - Cathedral Prep vs. Archbishop Wood, 7 p.m. Friday
Felix Manus-Schell
Erie (Pa.) Cathedral Prep, 5-11, 177, Class of 2014
(Wears No. 11)
: Penn State recently visited Cathedral Prep, and Manus-Schell is one of the recruits the staff is targeting. Manus-Schell called Penn State his top school right now because he grew up a fan. He basically shut down three-star wideout
Brian Lemelle
last week.
Marlon Tyree
Erie (Pa.) Cathedral Prep, 6-2, 180, Class of 2014
(Wears No. 21)
: He's clearly interested in the Nittany Lions, and he's also currently being recruited by Buffalo. He saw a Bulls game earlier in the season.
Jake Plonski
, unrated
Erie (Pa.) Cathedral Prep, 6-1, 222, Class of 2013
(Wears No. 18)
: He's being recruited as a preferred walk-on, and he's still deciding whether to accept that offer or head to an FCS school -- such as Robert Morris, which is offering him a scholarship. His 40 time came in a little high (5.15 seconds), but he attributed that to the lingering effects from a torn meniscus and ACL and said he's much faster now. He lost 30 pounds since January.
Non-PSU recruits to watch
: Cathedral Prep QB
Damion Terry
(Michigan State commit), Cathedral Prep ATH
Delton Williams
(Michigan State commit), Archbishop Wood TE
Nick Arcidiacono
(Rutgers commit), Archbishop Wood K
Nick Visco
(two-star prospect)
Class AA championship - Aliquippa vs. Wyomissing, noon Saturday
Non-PSU recruits to watch
Dravon Henry
(ESPN Watch List), LB
Alex Anzalone
(committed to Notre Dame)
Class AAAA championship, North Allegheny vs. Coatesville, 6 p.m. Saturday
Tyler Burke
Coatesville (Pa.), 6-4, 240, Class of 2014
(Wears No. 9)
: Penn State was one of his early favorites, along with Notre Dame, Maryland, N.C. State and Boston College. He already holds three offers, and he starts at linebacker and tight end. His high school coach thinks Burke could become the most coveted recruit he's ever coached. Right now, though, that honor rests with former PSU cornerback
Knowledge Timmons
Non-PSU recruits to watch
: North Allegheny QB
Mack Leftwich
(committed to UTEP), North Allegheny OG
Patrick Kugler
(committed to Michigan)

its awsome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
star wars is one of my favorite movie series.
I love star wars!! Its one of my favorite sci-fi's
Star Wars kinda sloped downhill when the new trilogy came out, although they are all still great movies.
i cant wait till the tv show comes out in 2008
star was is cool
It's pretty good. More of a Trek man myself, but I still like it.
Im a warsy 'til death. Like most fans of the saga, my hobbies include being flayed by George Lucas and convincing myself that the best pleasures in life can be had through pain.
And oh boy oh boy oh boy, the new CG cartoon looks like it'll hurt so good.

Anyone have a good idea so I can use my kegerator for both corny and sanke kegs without switching the lines in the tower?
i have some of these i have used beforehttp://www.kegworks.com/draft-system...ket-829-p21294
Cornykeg.com has a sanke conversion kit. It is ball lock posts that attached directly to the beer nut threads on a sanke coupler. Once you install them you just hook up your hoses to the coupler just like you would to a corny keg. http://www.cornykeg.com/catalog.asp?...showprevnext=1

Took my 2004 Dodge Dakota into J&M to have Brakes replaced on the rear. I had purchased Disk and pads on line and had them with me. We found the pads I had were not the correct fit for the rear so we ordered pads from a local supplier. Delivery was fast, less than 30 minutes and the job was completed very quickly after the parts arrived. The owner checkedc the air in all four tires without be asked and found a screw in the right front that had allowed the air to leak down to only 12 lbs. He quickly got the screw out and put in a plug which I know kept me from being on the side of the road somewhere with a flat. His pricing was very reasonable. $60 labor for the brakes, $10 for the plug & the labor for the front tire and $55.00 for the rear pads. The owner did tell me that the $40.00 hourly rate was incorrect, that it was not posted on the AUTO MD site by him. Excellent job at a very reasonable price.

Aaron Junod's recent post on "Packing for TechEd" got me thinking about sharing my own list, and advice, too.
I've been to 9 TechEds (Wow! This is the 10th for me!), and I've always packed too much. I always forget about the number of shirts we get, or ones I buy in the MS Store, so I usually end up having brought a couple that I never get to wear. Plus, this is my 2nd TechEd as a Microsoft employee, and our choice of uniform is rather limited. (I have two blue MS Employee shirts, and I have to wear them each day of the conference. Maybe I'll buy a third while I'm there, just to freshen things up a bit.)
So.. here's my advice:
What hints/tips do you have?
Chris Haaker shares his thoughts on this here: http://spaces.msn.com/members/chaaker/Blog/cns!1paTcUthSy25dWZSf7II5o5g!435.entry His post got me thinking some more, too... One additional thought: You can usually count on the attendee bag they give you being big enough to fit most laptops, so you shouldn't have to worry about lugging your own bag around. Just use the one you get. Warning: 1. I'm a winter-white Minnesota boy, 2. You might happen upon me at the hotel pool, trying to get some color. Please, oh please, make sure you have sunglasses on... and do not stare directly at my skin. You WILL go blind.

Is this something new, or are opera people already aware of these issues - and is it really something as underhand as M$ causing problems?
Other than that, I connect with atleast two dozen secure sites a day to check bank account, affiliate sites, and credit card receipts. No problems that I can report with any of them.
What operating system are you using? Do you also have IE installed on your machine?
Using a proxy of some sort? Anything setting between the browser and the net that could be filtering?
Yes, there is a proxy between me and the secure sites - how could that cause problems if it is the first time a secure page has been visited?
(Thought that would only cause issues if the page had been visited previously and was cached)
moving from the basket to secure checkout in [amazon.co.uk...]
making a purchase at [dabs.com...] - when you add to basket, and then move to secure pages
This ok your end?
I have no problem navigating either of the examples, or with any of my own secure sites (banking, etc).
I'm using Opera 6.04, Win98se, DSL w/proxy.
If this works, I assure you I shall crawl back into the fridge and sit with the lemons until the bin men come for me!
AFAIK, there are no known problems with HTTPS pages and Opera.
This is what Opera displays when you hover over the security button (padlock):
TLS v1.0 128 bit C4 (1024 bis RSA/SHA)
Again, I guess it's either a problem with your proxy configuration (missing proxy) or with your security settings (protocol not selected).
Double check that cookies are fully enabled for all servers.
Do you have problems with any other sites?
I've got the proxy set for both http and https connections.
Must be a proxy problem, because it causes internal problems here when surfing our own site (new product pages some times come back as old product pages if you have just viewed the old ones).
I'm not too fussed about me not being able to see it (I don't use opera), it's just that a guy that uses opera that buys from our site has raised it, and you know the rule - one person speaks for every 99 that don't, hence it's a little worrying!

UBS launches new IT platform to give private banking clients advice around the clock
Published on Mar 11, 2014 5:55 PM
Private banking giant UBS has launched an IT platform that will help its bankers provide faster and more tailored advice to their clients in Asia.
The system, called UBS Advice, will monitor market movements around the clock.
Taking each client's chosen investment strategy and risk appetite into account, the system will trigger alerts if there is a buying opportunity in the market or if something happens that might require the client to sell something in his portfolio.
The banker can then call the client, who will decide how to act on the alert.

As the storm clouds gathered over McLaren in the paddock yesterday, Lewis Hamilton insisted that he would like nothing better than to win the Italian Grand Prix this weekend, not just to increase his lead in the world championship but also to stymie Ferrari on their home ground ahead of the reconvened World Motor Sport Council (WMSC) hearing into the long-running espionage case next Thursday.
Besides being recalled to answer fresh evidence, presented to the FIA earlier this week, the Anglo-German team also found itself in trouble with the stewards yesterday afternoon. The team used a new lightweight gearbox on both cars in Hungary, where Hamilton won and Fernando Alonso placed fourth. McLaren took the view that, while important, the changes to the gearbox and rear-end structure of the MP4-22 were not significant, and thus did not require to be crash tested (as stated in the FIA regulations).
Yesterday the stewards considered evidence from the FIA that the changes were significant, and agreed with the governing body. Retrospective crash testing carried out after the Hungarian race proved that the structure passed the test, but the stewards censured McLaren for delaying providing the necessary information to the FIA until after that race, therefore making it more difficult to make a ruling on whether a crash test was necessary, and fined them US$50,000. No further action was deemed necessary.
Hamilton admitted that he had kept away from the distractions, last week, meaning that he had not been aware of the WMSC situation, and said: I have been completely oblivious to them this past week. It hit me when I got here and found out, and I am just going to try to get on with my job. That means beating Ferrari on their home ground. That is the target of the whole team this weekend, because that would be a huge blow to Ferrari.
I dont like what they are putting our team through. Ferrari are portrayed as the most innocent team and I dont think that is the case. I think our team have been unfairly treated. And I think we are stronger.
He added: I felt that our test here last week was very good, although its always exaggerated when you take downforce off the car because it feels quicker. I really felt that we had taken a big step forward, as big as the one we took prior to Monaco. Though to be fair, Fernando disagreed and felt it was smaller. But I feel really confident about our prospects for the race this weekend.
Meanwhile, Kimi Raikkonen admitted that it is difficult to get the set-up right to deal with the low downforce requirements and the need to ride the kerbs in the chicanes, and said: It is difficult to say where we are going to be, but hopefully we are going to be in a grid position to fight for the win.
Commenting on team mate Felipe Massas assertion that Ferrari are in better shape than they appeared to be in the recent test here, he added: I dont know, really, because from testing it is always difficult to say - you can only guess what fuel the other teams have, but you only really know yourselves what you are doing. I was not 100 percent happy with the car, but we found some reasons and hopefully we will have a better set up and well see where we are. I think we should be okay - probably not our strongest race, but it should still be pretty good.

like frostfall,
spent necks shouted down
past icicle sheets
around the surfaces of buildings.
those towers rise up in wrath,
grey whales from under earth
that spit waves from the windows
where we sit and watch the world.
flocks drop
like diabetic starlights, space rocks
shaven down to dullness and inedibility,
strung lines of flight held back, bent
and broken
against invisible seas. we will
be pushed by microbes
from mud-bottom graves
that send us all like zombies
into sleep.
the asylum is shut. the city
droops its eyes in daylight. God
takes all things back
through the windows of our behemoths.
ducks and doves and broadbills
hit like raindrops
upon the unforgiven ground.

When I Consider How My Light is Spent (On His Blindness)
Analysis: Calling Card
"Light" in Darkness
Some critics think that Milton's blindness gave him an uncanny ability to depict light, darkness, and shadow. This sonnet offers pretty strong evidence for that claim. The central extended metaphor combines the concepts of light and money into symbolism as dense as seven-layer cake. Light and darkness interact in strange ways in Milton's poems. One of the most famous sections in Paradise Lost describes the interior of Hell as having:
No light; but rather darkness visible
Served only to discover sights of woe,
"Darkness visible." Wow. Milton's blindness proved to him that one can "see" even without light. We should also point out that the distinction between light and darkness is central to Christian theology.

4 Cheap..and good...suprisinglyPosted: 07/03/2009Despite being branded as sony ericsson...this is actually made by sagemThis is a decent phone...for the money you pay for itIts got a decent 2mp camera..pics will look better on a pc monitor than the phoneThe music player is a bit rubbish...its not very loud..and goes up about 8 volume levels rather than the so many more that other se models do.Its quite small...which is a bad point imo...the buttons are a bit small...but give a definite click each timeOverall...good phone...bit slow when loading up...but thats bout it tbh
5 AmazingPosted: 14/02/2009Sooo much better than skate, tony hawks, or any other skating gameGraphics are immense, gameplay is epic, customisation is pretty goo,d needs more hairstyles though :(Basically an epic game, although the soundtrack isnt amazing...
The Bright Lights Of America Anti-Flag - CD 3 New from £11.28 Free delivery Available used from £6.98
4 Its good...but its not really anti flag...Posted: 03/01/2009Definitely not their best album...but its still pretty good! There are about 4 amazing tracks on there, and the rest are pretty average, but still its a good album, worth a buy more if you're into regular pop punk, rather than the original anti flag stuff :pIf your an anti flag fan, and you dont already have it, get for blood and empire, or terror state :d
4 hmm..not badPosted: 27/12/2008Tbh, it was only the album art that attracted me to this band, but when i listened to them at first, i didnt really know what to think, but i dled the album from itunes.At first i didnt really think this band was very good...its obviously an attempt to enter the already over-populated genre of pop-punk. Its not a bad attempt, but it is rather boring.The lyrics dont really have much meaning...they area bit repetetive in tune and rhythm. The instrumentals are okay...again a bit repetetive, with obvious links to bands such as motion city soundtrack, the lyrics sound like somethin you expect from panic! Or fall out boy.The album isnt great, as i said at the begining, its a bit boring...Maybe theyll give s something more to listen to...but this could be so much better
4 Amazing little toy, but is let down buy the software :(Posted: 04/12/2008This would get 5 *'s if it was compatible wiht wmp, unfortuantely its not, and is only compatible with the horror known as itunes...where music is overpriced, and it deletes all your music randomly.But the ipod is great, the shake shuffle, and the coverflow thing is immense, this is my first ipod, and ive had it less than 24hrs...but it was worth the money !!!Buy one! And the blue is a sexy colour!!!
4 Beta reviewPosted: 07/11/2008Downloaded beta, am at level 9, and its awesomeIts really a lot better than i expected it to be, as i expected another cod3...i was soooo wrong...for the online, theyve basically taken cod4 and made it much much better...havent played spGraphics=awesomeWeapons=awesomeGoooore!!! Shotguns/explosions blow off limbs :pIts amazzingAdd me :d gamertag-reklawz
4 Its good...but it could be greatPosted: 02/11/2008First off, dont get me wrong, this is an unbeleivably good game, defo a canidate for best game of 2008! But there are lots of things its missing!!! It lacks the extent of customisation offered by the original fable! There is a shortage of weapons, especially melee, and clothing is severely limited!! They should have added to it rather than limiting it...it is also a rather short story line, but still, it is absolutely amazing and has to be probably the only game that has had me immersed in the storyline, it is really easy to follow, but is very similar to the original...the maps are much bigger, which is goodOverall, this is an awesome game, but it could the best thing since white sliced bread, if there was more custumisation options!!!!!!!!!
2 boring!Posted: 30/09/2008Basically, the games on this disc give you a head ache. Except team fortress 2 which is unbeleivably fun, its worth buying this gaem just to play tf2!!But hl2 is boring and crap.Portal is okay, but dont play it for a long time cus itll give you a head ache!!
5 Awesome phone!Posted: 14/09/2008Normally when i buy a phone, i tend to only spend £40-£50, but i stretched my self for this one, as a few of my mates have it, and ive heardn othing but good things about it!To start with, the 3.2 mp camera is great, but it does get fuzzy, if you zoom. It doesnt have great internal memory, but what sony ericsson phone does??It has pretty much everything you expect from a se phone, and its pretty much indestructible, i dropped it down the stairs at college, and it doesnt have any marks on it!! The rubber coating on the plastic back helps!Basically, great phone, worth the money! :D
4 Great if you have never used iTunes, or an iPodPosted: 03/09/2008Okay, ive been thinking about buying a nano, so i bought a shuffle, just to kinda supplement my walkman, and to take it on the bus to college. First impressins, its dead funky, clip it on your jeans and it just looks super cool lolThe colour looks different in real life, its more of a minty green, also, if you do buy a coloured one, dont for the love of god drop it cus if it scratches, or chips, its really noticeable so if your prone to dropping stuff, get a silver one!Its really easy to use, ijust stick it on shuffle, and away i go! (Although, if you have more of one artist than others, then you generally find that the artist that takes up the majority of your emory plays more!)Syncing is really easy, just right click the song in your itunes library, and select playlist, and then ipod, itunes also recognises what ipod, and what colour ipod ur using!!Also, for the 1gb, you can get quite a few songs on there!!So basically, get one if you want to get a nano or summat in the future, but i reccomend getting 2gb if you want to use it as ur main mp3 player!!

Pictured: A 3D CAD Drawing Of Front Entrance To SportHouse. (Photo: Business Wire)
Cybex International, a leading manufacturer of premium exercise equipment, has been named the exclusive equipment supplier for London's newest mega club and sports training/conditioning facility, SportHouse. Slated to debut in March, SportHouse will be the country's most comprehensive sports conditioning facility. The center will not only serve as a conditioning hub for elite athletes competing in international sporting competitions, but also a community fitness facility. SportHouse will include the largest multi-use sports hall in the UK at 54,000 square-feet, alongside two gymnasiums, which will be fully equipped by Cybex, totaling 10,800 square-feet of training space.
Pictured: A 3D CAD drawing of front entrance to SportHouse. (Photo: Business Wire)
While still under construction, SportHouse has already been targeted for training use by an array of amateur and professional sporting organizations, including the British Handball Association, the Football Association, British Weight Lifting, the England Senior Futsal Team, and others.
"The gym at SportHouse will be used by a diverse range of people, from adolescents to athletes, to Paralympic competitors; and Cybex has experience working with all of these users," noted Mark Harrop, Director of Project Consultant HBA. "Cybex is one of the largest Inclusive Fitness Initiative (IFI) accredited suppliers and their focus on engineering equipment that is biomechanically correct factored greatly in our decision to provide the best solutions for the club."
The initial concept for the facility came from SportHouse Managing Director/CEO Mike Stimson. He and his team visited IHRSA (International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association) in 2011 to test out equipment from all of the major fitness equipment manufacturers. "I wanted an equipment supplier that shared my passion for sports and my vision for SportHouse," stated Stimson. "The Big Iron racks and lifting platforms, treadmills, Arc Trainers, and IFI-accredited Total Access products for the physically impaired clearly demonstrate that Cybex understands the needs of aspiring and performance athletes, but their complete range also allows us to provide something for everyone, no matter what their level."

Will This Price Target Cut Hurt National Oilwell Varco (NOV) Stock Today?
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- National Oilwell Varco (NOV - Get Report) stock has had its price target decreased to $96 from $101, Citi Research said Tuesday. The firm maintained a "buy" rating.
Analysts lowered fiscal 2015 EPS estimates to $6.75 a share from $7.15 a share. EPS estimates for fiscal 2016 were lowered to $7.60 a share from $8 a share.
"We have lowered our EPS estimates for 2015 and 2016 based on the likelihood of slower revenue growth (more land, less offshore) partially offset by a gradual improvement in rig tech operating margins," analysts wrote in the report.

Learn more. ----------------------------- Separately, TheStreet Ratings team rates NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO INC as a Buy with a ratings score of A-. TheStreet Ratings Team has this to say about their recommendation: "We rate NATIONAL OILWELL VARCO INC (NOV) a BUY. This is based on the convergence of positive investment measures, which should help this stock outperform the majority of stocks that we rate. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, largely solid financial position with reasonable debt levels by most measures, attractive valuation levels, good cash flow from operations and solid stock price performance. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income."- You can view the full analysis from the report here: NOV Ratings Report
