Food was good. I had the Kaprow basil with beef. This is listed as a medium dish but it was pretty spicy. very delicious. so if you like spicy you will definitely get it here. but if you are sensitive to spicy dishes you may want to ask for all dishes to be mild. The crispy spring rolls were good too. as was the tom yum soup. My order arrived well within the 30-mins, on a friday evening (i ordered around 7pm). We live in SE, dc. So it was nice to get delivery from somewhere other than a pizza place. and the delivery man came up to the door. I will definitely order from Thai Orchids Kitchen again.

13th Chinese Food festival on at Anandha Inn
PUDUCHERRY: Chinese food always offers mouth watering dishes, be it non-vegetarian or vegetarian. It has not only a wide variety but also lot of colour. To offer food connoisseurs the delectable spread, Surabhi and L'Heritage, the restaurants at Anandha Inn, are organising a Chinese food festival here.
As part of their 13th Chinese Food festival, they have taken on the colour of the Chinese Summer — Red. Right from the courtesy crew to the festoons on the walls, to the tablecloths everything has taken this life-giving and very auspicious colour.
The restaurants have been decorated with Chinese paintings, festoons and lamps just for these 10 days. Chinese music too plays in the background during lunch and dinner time
Executive chef Murali Nair has crafted an entirely new menu with 16 non-vegetarian and 6 vegetarian appetisers, 10 soups, 16 main course non-vegetarian items and 8 vegetarian items, 10 varieties of rice, noodles and chopsey and 6 desserts.
The different kinds of meat that this Chinese festival serves includes duck, pork, chicken, mutton, pork, fish, clams, squid and beef.
Explaining the various Chinese dishes, Mr. Murali said dishes from Szechwan and Shangai are spicy and those from Peking and Canton are bland.
Mr. Nair pick of dishes is the Peking duck, which is roasted crispy shredded duck hard wrapped in pancake. Mongolian prawn, Green-red potato and Hupak bean curd are some of the appetisers that are must tries.
For the vegetarians, Buddha's feast, a famous Cantonese dish with Chinese cabbage, broccoli, baby corn and soya sauce and Almond vegetable, which is a mix of vegetables and fresh almonds seasoned with salt, pepper, sugar, soya sauce and ajinomoto offers a balance of spicy and non-spicy. Of course they have noodles, rice and chopsey.

This isn't your father's classroom. Heck, it's not even your classroom, or at least not one that you would recognize from your school days. Today's classrooms are wired in and wireless, using the latest in technology and vastly altering the methods by which students learn.
The fact that schools are employing technology certainly is no surprise. The most effective classrooms long have incorporated the latest devices in an attempt to engage students. Not all that long ago — OK, maybe it was a long time ago — that meant film strips that could show moving pictures without sound. How quaint. Today's classrooms have individual Internet connections right at each student's fingertips in the form of iPads or other tablet devices.
A recent article in The Columbian by reporter Tyler Graf pointed out some of the ways schools are incorporating iPads into their lesson plans. The La Center, Battle Ground, Vancouver and Washougal districts all use or have used iPads, with many schools expanding their programs this year.
"I think the whole electronic use thing gives kids more of a feeling that it's going to help them," said Camron Rowen, a seventh-grader at La Center Middle School.
While technology long has been used to support traditional methods in the classroom, the development of tablets can represent a huge leap in how students learn. Introduced in 2010, the iPad initially seemed like a ludicrous idea -- a laptop computer without the computing capability. But it quickly has expanded the horizons of learning at every level. La Center math teacher Mike Holland has students use the device to access a website called Khan Academy, which provides interactive tutorials that supplement his instruction.
"One of the things that has always bothered me about the way we teach is that life doesn't present a page of fractions," Holland said. "The whole day is not one kind of problem. Everything is a different kind of problem. (Khan Academy) has a variety of problems, and that's more real."
The potential goes well beyond that. Author Lisa Guernsey, writing for Slate.com, recently described her experience observing a school in Zurich, Switzerland. "The tablets were intended to be used as video cameras, audio recorders, and multimedia notebooks of individual students' creations. . . . Instead of focusing on what was coming out of the iPad, they were focused on what was going into it." One assignment involved first-graders explaining what they understood about "systems," with one girl creating a digital flow chart to show how a book gets checked out from the library, taken home and then returned.
Guernsey stressed, however, that the key to success wasn't the iPads themselves, but the talent and the patience of the teachers. "Are American public schools ready to recognize that it's the adults and students around the iPads, not just the iPads themselves, that require some real attention?," she wondered. That will be crucial if the latest technology is to have a significant and lasting impact on U.S. schools. Many a fad has promised to alter the education system only to quickly disappear because of poor implementation.
Still, tablets hold potential, and not only for young students. At the college and high school level, the ability to download entire text books onto a device could help stem the ever-rising costs of such books -- and the need to lug around a 50-pound backpack.
The educational system in this country frequently serves as a punching bag for critics. But in many, many ways — as reflected by the use of iPads in classrooms — it's better than ever.

DENVER — The Colorado Rockies have placed outfielder Carlos Gonzalez on the bereavement list after the death of his grandfather in Venezuela.
The Rockies recalled North Gwinnett grad Charlie Blackmon from Triple-A Colorado Springs on Saturday to take Gonzalez's spot on the active roster.
Gonzalez was told after Friday's game of his grandfather's death. He will be eligible to rejoin the team in New York on Tuesday. The maximum time allowed on the bereavement list is seven days.
Gonzalez, picked for his first NL All-Star team this year, is hitting .320 with 20 home runs and 79 RBIS in 108 games.
Blackmon hit .303 with five home runs and 34 RBIs in 59 games in Triple-A.

Books that celebrate bookstores and books
Brick-and-mortar bookstores and the physical, printed books they sell may be (choose your verb -- challenged, endangered, threatened) by online vendors and ebooks. But if they are going down, they are not going down unloved and uncelebrated.

 {{letter|27}}
 ==Summary==
 Houghton Mifflin seemed to have asked Tolkien for drawings of Hobbits for some future edition of ''[[The Hobbit]]''. The following summarizes an extract from a letter apparently addressed to them.

 Tolkien stated that such drawings should be left in the hands of someone who could draw and said that his own pictures were an unsafe guide. He then gave verbal instructions for illustrators, warning that a hobbit was fairly human and not a "fairy" rabbit. They should be depicted with fat stomachs, short legs, round and jovial faces, slightly pointed ears, and short brown curling hair. Their feet are to be covered with fur from the ankle down. Typical hobbit clothing (for a male) was described. The size, important if other objects are shown, should be three to three and a half feet tall. In Tolkien's own picture of [[Bilbo Baggins|Bilbo]] in the gold-hoard the hobbit was drawn enormously too large, but the rationale was that he was in a separate "plane", being invisible.

 Tolkien also stated that while there was no mention of Bilbo wearing boots in the text, he did acquire them in [[Rivendell]] and only went bootless again after leaving Rivendell on the way home. However, Tolkien did say that since being unshod is an essential hobbit feature, Bilbo ought to appear unbooted except in special illustrations of episodes.

One of the best openings going. A aromatic blast of Neroli that feels like finally a perfumer has bottled spring. Rose slowly unfurls its petals and joins the Neroli in a dance in the garden. True to its EdC nature, the drydown is short-lived and weak. Faints musks try to anchor this baby, but I find the anchor missing on most days. Still, buy this for the first hour and you won't be sorry.

Housecleaning In Space
Even in space, someone has to clean the bathroom. Good housekeeping is essential when you're living in the close quarters of a tightly-sealed spaceship for months at a time. To make this possible, NASA scientists have developed a tricorder-like device called "LOCAD-PTS" that can track down microscopic bacteria and fungi. It helps astronauts do their chores.
"The crew of the space station works hard to keep things clean," says Norm Wainwright, principal investigator for LOCAD-PTS (Lab-On-A-Chip Application Development Portable Test System) at the Marshall Space Flight Center. "Our instrument tells them where to focus their efforts."
Strange, but true: LOCAD works using enzymes from the immune system of a horseshoe crab. Astronauts swab a surface with a high-tech Q-tip, insert a sample into the LOCAD device, and crab-chemistry does the rest. In less than 15 minutes, the LOCAD test system tells the crew if they've got some cleaning to do.
During March to May 2007, astronaut Sunita "Suni" Williams proved LOCAD's adeptness at detecting gram negative bacteria in the space station's Node 1 and US Lab.
In June and September 2008, a station crew tested a second type of LOCAD cartridge, designed to detect fungi. First, they tested Node 1 and found it virtually fungi-free.
That sounds like great news, but it didn't help the LOCAD scientists prove the abilities of the new cartridge.
So just a couple of weeks ago, astronaut Sandy Magnus decided to play hard ball. She thought of a place that would surely be a fungi factory "" the spot where crewmembers put their feet to brace themselves while working on their laptops.
Wrong. Clean.
A determined fungi-finder, Magnus tried another location. She went to the "gym," where station astronauts ride a modified exercise bike and a treadmill to combat the muscle weakening effects of microgravity. To keep themselves from floating up off the bicycle seat while pedaling, the sweaty space cyclers hold onto hand brackets.
You guessed it — fungi are thoroughly enamored with an oft-sweaty surface. LOCAD ratted out some hand bracket fungi.
"The fungi posed no immediate health concern to the crew," says Maule, LOCAD-PTS project scientist. "But Magnus called to Houston to say, 'Tomorrow I'm going to give those brackets a good cleaning.' That's just what we want — the intuitive reaction 'I need to clean that.'"
In years to come, spacecraft cleanliness will be a critical issue for another reason: "One of the key scientific goals for NASA's future Constellation missions beyond low Earth orbit will be to prepare to search for life on Mars," says Maule.
All humans carry stowaway microbes around with them on their skin, microbes that shouldn't be allowed to contaminate Mars samples. On the other hand, they don't want to bring unwanted alien life forms back into the spacecraft.
"The crew will need a way to monitor themselves before and after EVA [extra-vehicular activity]," says Maule. "LOCAD is ideal for that purpose. We've used it successfully during EVA tests on the ground."
The LOCAD team has also conducted several tests in the US Quest airlock, the conduit from the interior cabin to the outside of the space station where the crew "camps out" overnight and depressurizes before venturing outside. LOCAD proved the airlock to be pretty clean in general, but showed that the handle to the airlock entrance harbored gram negative bacteria. Bacteria on a surface like the airlock handle would be a concern if crew members were about to embark on a sample collecting excursion on Mars.
It would seem that finding fungi onboard the ISS is just the beginning for LOCAD. There are chores to be done … and the whole solar system awaits.
In closed quarters like your home and the space station, microorganisms can not only present a human health risk — they can even attack electronics, causing corrosion. Fungi can soil air and water filters too. But LOCAD finds fungi and germs before they have a chance to multiply and do their dirty work.
Astronauts gather samples for testing by swiping surfaces with a small, dry swab. Then they flush sterile water through the swab, converting the sample into liquid form, and place a few drops into the LOCAD PTS. The system yields its answer less than 15 minutes later, while standard methods of culturing can take several days and may require return to Earth for further analysis.
Oddly enough, to sniff out trouble in a hurry, LOCAD enlists the help of creatures whose ancestors were crawling around in the ocean 300 million years ago — horseshoe crabs. No, there are no armor-clad hordes of horseshoe crabs scuttling around under the astronauts' feet scarfing up germs and fungi. But the hearty horseshoe crabs, according to project scientist Jake Maule, do have a "very primitive but extremely sensitive immune system" that helps detect the presence of unwanted microbes.
"We use an enzyme cascade from that immune system. One part of the horseshoe crab's enzyme cascade is activated by endotoxin — a cell wall component of gram negative bacteria. Another part of the horseshoe crab's enzyme cascade is specifically activated by glucan, a cell wall component of fungi."
(The creatures are not harmed in any way and are released after some of their blood is extracted for enzyme harvesting.)

Active within 24 hours
One day im going to wake up and roll over my side and kiss the love of my life good morning. ..
I feel so strange writing this without thinking of me trying to sell myself anyway. Let see if i can make this right. I am traditional with an edge, a good balance of ordinary and exciting, predicable and impulsive, but predominately sane, mature and reasonable despite the fickleness around. I am still growing and learning. I believe in treating everyone with respect and love as oppose looking for their failures. I practice tolerance and believe in bringing up the best in people around me. I appreciate curiosity, strength in a character, wisdom but as I grow older decency, honesty, human kindness go on top of the list. I am looking for a man who is emotionally available, has no strings attached, who can be a solid partner, innately happy or at least striving for it, feeling adequate next to a strong , successful woman, who is loving and intellectually stimulating. I am happy spending weekends on my own, traveling on my own, but wouldn't it be great to share it with someone? My biological clock is not ticking. I am in no rush to to have a relationship but we can start as a friend and let the future decide. However, I am open to possibilities. I am still a believer in love and great relationships.

Comments about Jockey® Ocean Drive Striped Trunk:
I bought these because I love the pattern, and the "move with you fit and feel" appealed to me. I have longed looked for comfortable underwear, and thought I had found it.
When I put these on, not four hours later when taking them off, they ripped across the butt, horizontally (with the pattern), from right to left. Needless to say, I was not pleased. I don't know if I'll ever buy another pair of Jockey's...

2016 Lexus Cars
Toyota's luxury brand offers plenty of luxury vehicles like the ES, GS and LS luxury sedans. If crossovers and SUVS are more you thing, there are also the RX, LX and GX. This year Lexus introduced an all-new version of the compact luxury IS sedan and has given many of the brand's models the F-Sport treatment. Of course many different Lexus models can still be had as a hybrid.
Lexus was introduced in 1989 as a luxury brand targeted at Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Jaguar. Their first model, the LS400 won critical acclaim, and later expanded to include the Camry-based ES luxury sedan, the GS sports sedan in 1993, the LX luxury SUV (based on the Toyota Land Cruiser) in 1995 and the IS sports sedan in 1999.

Gastroesophageal reflux — how it happens and treatment options
Guest columnist Dr. Keith Mansel discusses symptoms, diagnosis and treatment options of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in this week's Good Health section. (October 21, 2010, Page 14)
County appeals drug court debacle
The Lafayette County Board of Supervisors instructed county attorney David O'Donnell to file an appeal with the Mississippi Supreme Court against a final order given by a Circuit Court judge instructing them to not interfere with the operation of the county's Drug Court.
The one-page appeal, filed Tuesday, says the supervisors are appealing the entire Final Order filed Sept. 21 by Circuit Court Judge Andrew Howorth but doesn't list any specific parts of the order. The appeal was filed after the board voted 3 to 2 granting O'Donnell permission to file the appeal during an executive session earlier this month. Supervisors Robert Blackmon and Mike Pickens were the dissenting votes.
Howorth, who started Drug Court three years ago, filed a "cease and desist" in June against the supervisors from interfering with the operations of the Drug Court and the Circuit Court in general. Howorth claims the supervisors have continually interfered with the operations of the Circuit Court, almost from the day the current board took office in 2008. He also ordered the supervisors to comply with all reasonable requests made by and on behalf of the Drug Court pertaining to Drug Court funds administered by Lafayette County.

Cedar Oaks residents voice concerns
A public hearing was held before the Tourism Council regular meeting on Wednesday to discuss with Cedar Oaks neighbors concerns for events held in their community. Residents requested a limit of alcohol events, more information shared with them on when events are booked, and a way to tow cars that block their driveways as no parking is available for the historic home. (October 21, 2010, Page 1)
New bike racks OK'd for Square
New bike racks will soon be located around the Square. Billy Lamb, city superintendent for buildings and grounds, is working with Pathways Commission to determine the best locations for the racks. One has been installed at the corner of South Lamar Boulevard and Van Buren Avenue. (October 21, 2010, Page 2)
Supporting a tradition of educational excellence
With schools in the area, state, region and country reporting problems, there's no question that the local Oxford School District is on the opposite end of the spectrum. Editor Jonathan Scott talks about how well the school has done in relation to his children who have gone through the system, and he urges all to help continue that tradition of educational excellence by supporting the $30 million bond issue next Tuesday. (October 21, 2010, Page 4)
Letters to the Editor
Peter Kondos writes to give his take on why so many voters plan on voting for change in the Nov. 2 midterm elections, while Gloria Pettus writes to call for a No vote on the local bond issue to keep from increasing taxes. (October 21, 2010, Page 4)
Fish fry puts dent in homeless hotel bill
Interfaith Compassion Ministry Director Lena Wiley wasn't sure how much money was brought in from Tuesday's fish fry fundraiser as of this morning, but one thing she did know for certain — people ate a lot of fish.
"We ran out of fish," she said this morning. "I think it went really well. I hope it went well."
The fish fry, held at First Baptist Church's Family life center, served cat fish and chicken tenders for $10 a plate from 11 to 1 p.m. and then again from 4 to 7 p.m. All the proceeds will go toward ICM, particularly to help pay an outstanding $10,500 hotel bill that ICM owes to the Ole Miss Motel, which works with ICM all year to help house homeless and displaced persons temporarily.

Realtors to host House Party for Habitat for Humanity
The North Central Mississippi Board of Realtors will be hosting the second annual House Party to benefit the Oxford-Lafayette Chapter of Habitat for Humanity at the Lyric on Saturday night from 6:30 to 11. All proceeds from the event go towards benefiting the Habitat for Humanity. (October 20, 2010, Page 2)
Stiffer charges sought for drug dealers
Lafayette County Metro Narcotics Unit's Keith Davis, and the other investigators at Metro, are pushing adding "enhancement charges" to regular drug dealing charges. Enhancement charges include, selling drugs within 1,500 of a school or church or child endangerment, for selling drugs when a child is present.
An enhancement charge does just that — it enhances the sentence of the defendant if found guilty. Under state law, selling drugs within 1,500 feet of a church or school allows a judge to double the penalty.
Several suspects charged with dealing drugs were indicted during the September grand jury and have been given enhancement charges along with being indicted with selling drugs.
See these and other indictments handed down by the grand jury in today's EAGLE. (October 20, 2010, Page 1)
Hearing set on alcohol use at Cedar Oaks
Those with concerns on what limitations should be placed on Cedar Oaks as an event venue should attend the public hearing at 5:15 p.m. at the Oxford Conference Center to discuss the historic home with the Tourism Council. (October 20, 2010, Page 2)

This series features colorful illustrations and photographs of people in period dress living out their lives and working at their trades and tasks as they would have in the colonial period of America's history. The information and vivid color illustrations will appeal to those from age 5 to adult and can easily be used with grades 2-5 (and up) to bring a history curriculum to life. Reading level is about grade 3, but these would also be ideal for low level readers in upper grades who need good nonfiction content that does not talk down to them.
These are paperback, 8.5 x 10.75 inches, 32 pages each, with glossary and index.
The Woodworkers: In colonial times, everything was made from natural materials, such as wood. This book shows the expert artisans who made things of wood, such as the cooper, carpenter, wheelwright, and tradesmen who built houses, at their work. Readers will see the tools and implements used by these woodworkers, learn how the wood was selected, cut, and prepared, how houses were built, and how furniture, barrels, wheels, carriages, and ships were made. They will also see the apprentices at work, as they learned a trade.
CT-07903, Sold Out, Out of Print
The Blacksmith: The blacksmith was a very important person in colonial times because he made things than almost every home needed: farming tools, cooking pans and implements, candleholders, and lanterns. Some blacksmiths specialized: Farriers made shoes for horses and other animals. Locksmiths and gunsmiths were also specialists. And some blacksmiths in smaller towns did everything. This book will bring you into the smithy, where the blacksmith worked. You will see him at the forge, using the bellows and the anvil. You will observe him using his tools, and see the steps in forging and in shoeing a horse. And you will also see what life was like for the apprentices.BTH-5947. $8.06
The Milliner: The more well-to-do of America's colonial women liked to follow the European fashion trends. The milliner helped them indulge their taste for high style in a shop stocked with all sorts of fashion accessories, fabrics, shoes, and clothing imported from England and other countries. This book will take readers on a tour through one of these most interesting shops. They will observe in the colorful illustrations the milliner's many skills -- gown making, lace-making, and laundering. They will observe the trends in women's 18th century clothing. Sold Out, Out of Print
A Slave Family: Ever wonder what life was like for slave children? This book introduces you to Quasheba, who reenacts the life of a slave girl too young to work on the plantation. You will learn about slavery in American colonies, the family life of slaves and how they helped one another, the education of slaves, life on a plantation, the different jobs slaves did, the African culture they brought with them, and how some of them became free, or tried to become free. Sold Out, Out of Print
The Colonial Cook: Food plays an important role in every culture. Learn how food was prepared in the American colonies: who prepared it, how the cooking fire was used and maintained, and which tools and implements were used in the kitchen. Sometimes food was prepared in a separate building from the house, and several "dependencies" were used to prepare and store specialized items. Learn how many people grew and raised their own food, and then preserved or prepared it. See how the cook prepared for the day ahead, which took some careful planning. And then try some of the recipes these cooks prepared. Learn what the Native Americans contributed to the colonists' knowledge of native foods and about the gifts they brought that helped the colonists survive in the new land. And also see what the slaves cooked for themselves. You can try their peanut soup. Sold Out, Out of Print
Colonial Women: This book offers a close look at the lives of the 18th century women in the American colonies. Most of them worked in the home and cared for children, though some had outside jobs. Readers will see how colonial women adjusted to their tough new life, which was much harder than the life they were accustomed to. They will observe women going about their lives in the country and in the city, on plantations, and as slaves. They will learn how women were educated, courted, and married. They will observe a woman's family life, and see what jobs colonial women could perform outside the home. You will see what kind of social life the families had and what women in that period wore. Lastly, you will meet some notable colonial women: Margaret Brent, Anne Bradstreet, Anne Hutchinson, and Phillis Wheatey.

Born on February 12, 1938 in Booneville, MS, Billy graduated from South Side High School in 1956. He was a star athlete for the Scrappers, earning All-Memphis recognition in football, basketball and baseball. He was named Memphis Athlete of the Year at the end of his senior year, an honor his son Ashley would later earn in 1982. Billy went to Ole Miss on a football scholarship but only played his freshman year before leaving and returning home to be with Roberta. He then became a two sport star at Southwestern (Rhodes College) where he was a small college All American in baseball. He helped lead the Lynx to the 1961 NCAA Championships in baseball. He still holds the single season batting average record of .476, and the career record of .411. He was inducted into the Rhodes College Athletic Hall of Fame in October 2004. Following graduation from Rhodes, Billy's professional baseball career was cut short after injuring his arm. After receiving his masters degree from Memphis State, he worked for the Memphis Board of Education for many years which included jobs at the Central Office, principal at Knight Road Elementary and Colonial Elementary, and teaching positions in Dallas and at Wooddale High School. Billy was encouraged to get his doctorate in education which led him and the family to Rocky Top in 1970-71. While on the Hill, he coached the freshman baseVols and assisted Coach Bill Wright with the varsity Volunteers. This was the beginning of a long term love of the Big Orange which lasted the rest of his life. One of his greatest joys was traveling to see the Vols and Lady Vols play and the wonderful fellowship he shared with his Volunteer family. Billy and Roberta have devoted many years serving God at Underwood United Methodist Church and more recently Colonial Park United Methodist Church. He was a good friend to many at both of his church homes. In lieu of flowers, donations in Billy's memory can be sent to Colonial Park United Methodist Church or the charity of your choice.

Mexico, Yucatan - BARBARA SUE ATKINS GARDNER. Born June 18, 1951 in Aberdeen, Mississippi, passed from this life on September 15, 2012, after a very long illness. She was preceded by her parents (Sarge) Buddy Atkins; Jeri Young Atkins Ratcliff and stepfather Joe Ratcliff. She is survived by her husband Mike Gardner, his daughters and their families, Shelly Mitchell, Chris, Sam, Andy and Melissa Wright, Jason, Brittany and Michael. She graduated from Oakhaven High in 1969, went to Itawamba Junior College, worked as a broadcasting consultant and stewardess for Southern Airways, going back to school and graduating St. Joseph School of Nursing in 1985, worked at St. Joe Hospital as an ICU Charge Nurse before taking a position in Orlando. She got to travel extensively and came home to care for her parents, where she met Mike. Together they traveled the Caribbean , marrying in Jamaica, so when given only a few months to live, they moved to The Yucatan where the Gulf meets the Carribian, Parrots awaken you in the mornings, Flamingos fly freely, Iguanas play in your yard and the beach meets the jungle. She lived graciously for an extra 13 months - longer than her doctors had given her, enjoying life to the fullest. Not having children of her own she turned her love to animals, rescuing and doing foster care. On her behalf do something kind for an unfortunate animal or donate to a reputable animal sanctuary. We help at Evolucion Sanctuary in Merida Mexico. You can find them on Google - they rescue and do not kill.

Suva Grammar School's Martin Luther breaks through the
Ratu Kadavulevu School U16 team during their quarter-final
yesterday. Picture: JONACANI LALAKOBAU
A GUTSY performance from Ratu Kadavulevu School saw them beat Suva Grammar School in the under-16 quarter-final clash yesterday.
And despite playing with a man down from the first half, the Delainakaikai boys played unity rugby and guts, sharing the extra work load to edge SGS 15-10 at Bidesi Park.
A 10-0 lead at the break set the platform for RKS as the Grammar boys rallied back strongly in the second spell.
Masi Saqanavere who is part of the RKS coaching panel saluted his troops for their defensive effort throughout the game.
"It was a good performance from the boys and I congratulate them," he said.
"Our defence really stood out because we were playing with 14 players for most of the time."
He said Grammar had the size compared to his players.
Saqanavere said their kicking game disrupted the Grammar defense.
"We knew we don't have the size and that is why we kicked deep into their territory but then they followed our game plan in the second half. We then played a close game."
He said they needed to regroup before the semi-finals next week.

Also I have seen others mention the Mamiya Rz67(or RB67) but what about the RZ67 paired with the 110 f/2.8 lens? That will actually be fairly close to the 50mm (probably more like 58mm if my calculations aren't totally off and please correct me if I'm wrong) and the DOF would actually be shallower than the 35mm camera with a 50mm f1.4 lens according to Thomas' calculations in post #16
And the RZ67 series is really inexpensive right now compared to the Hassleblad with comparable optics for sure, the Mamiya RZ67 is a great system and also backward compatible with RB67 lenses. Both of which are inexpensive compared to others right now.
Please feel free to correct any errors I made.

Subsystem Repair VS Viral Matrix Math with Pax

B) Viral Matrix indeed does in fact countered by points in Sub system repair.
C) Completed a test with the following results:
Six points aka 84 points into subsystem repair gave a 15 second clearance from a Viral Matrix with 84 points and no additional modifiers to the Viral matrix.
Without points into Subsystem repair, the Viral lasted for a total of 22 seconds.
We calculated the diminishing returns on subsystem repair in the event it was at 99 points.
Find "S" subsystem repair with 99 points in it.
15seconds off is 84 points
S=12.25 off Viral with 84 points in it.
S=12.25 seconds to clear Viral with 6 points. A total of 9.75 or just say 10 seconds off the effects of Viral Matrix in terms of comparing to someone that does not have points in subsystem repair.
We also found out that the viral doff that procs, adds an additional 2 seconds to the viral matrix effect. We did not have time to test the effects of subsystem repair, but I would guess it scales the same way minus the decompiler effect.
All tests were conducted with 100% crew.
We concluded that in order to add more of a dynamic feel to it, and without making viral over powered as it appears on these findings we suggest the repairing the human passive "+20 to Subsystem Repair." It is also not recommended to spec into sub system repair if you're running an escort in a team setting as your crew is dead majority of the time and you will not benefit from the points.
Relying on your team mates for engineering team is ideal, but may not be enough with the new spread to other ships doffs.
We ran a test on that as well, but it was more of an organic flow. As in we did not stop and check things as we did with the subsystem repair. However, during the match which was frapsed, vs 3 science ships using the new doffs green quality, I was viraled for 40% of the match duration. Our team ran 2 copies of Engineering team, with their respective doffs to reduce cool downs.
I'm interested in everyone's conclusion in TRH's findings.
Did my own maths on it a while ago, its nice in theory with the 100% crew, but 1 theta and that crew is gone :p
Same for phaser proc duration, not worthwhile imo.

"Binntal Valley" Binn by sandysmith
Binn Travel Guide: 6 reviews and 26 photos
The valley of the Binna river, is an eastern confluent of the upper Rhône river. The area is also known as Binna valley or Binnatal and we spent a pleasant day here - lunching and a short walk around the village and along the river.
The Binntal is one of those charming swiss areas that has kept tourism low key but to those that know it it is a popular walking base and also renowned for its rich mineral deposits. I would not have ventured her had it not been for an email sent to me asking about Saas Fee - another place in the Valais. I responded and it so happened that my contact had visited Fiesch (our base for Switz holiday 2007) several times and he suggested a walk in this area - so many thanks to VT'er Michael Graves.
- In a nutshell:hiddden swiss gem off the beaten track

SGI Mesa client glx settings return
Hi all,
I'm running Mandriva 2006 with an nVidia 6800 and driver 8178. When I previously installed the nvidia driver on my Mandriva LE 2005 system I had no problems, but this is what happens now:
It seems that the latest mandriva installs the software based SGI mesa3D glx driver (this is probably done for people who like some basic 3D but don't play games), but after that I could install the nvidia 3D driver. At first the performance was really crappy, and this seemed to be cause because only the server side of the nvidia driver was actually in use, and the client site was still the software base mesa3D glx driver. This was noticeble on the glxinfo output, where one of the first lines mentioned 'Direct rendering: No".
The solution for this was to correctly link the nvidia dynamic libraries instead of the Mesa ones. This is a script that does this (it also switches the nv/nvidia driver statement in my xorg.conf, but that's not the problem):
# Usage: nvidia-use-old <enable|disable>
# Switch between nvidia and nv use. You need to restart X for "nv"
# (c) GPL by jlo
if [ "$1" == "enable" ]; then
ln -f -s ../../lib/libGL.so.1.0.8178 /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1

When I ran this script (with 'enable' as the argument) and restarted my X everthing was completely fine and ran smoothly. My glxinfo also stated that Direct rendering was on, and the server and client glx vendor string were both "NVIDIA Corporation".
I can see the performance dropping (with my favorite game RTCW:ET) from 80 fps with the correct nvidia config to 6 fps with the server-nvidia and client-mesa sombination.
When I play RTCW:ET twice (or once, can't say for sure), my system automatically resets those mesa3D settings so that my direct rendering is turned off again and the client glx driver becomes that from SGI again. So I need to run that script again to reset those symbolic links and I need to restart my X server.
How on earth is this possible?
This is my glxinfo output, now that my system has the truly bad settings (I don't include useless info):
name of display: :0.0
display: :0 screen: 0
direct rendering: No
server glx vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
server glx version string: 1.3
server glx extensions:
(bla bla)
client glx vendor string: SGI
client glx version string: 1.4
client glx extensions:
(bla bla)
OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce 6800/AGP/SSE/3DNOW!
OpenGL version string: 1.4 (2.0.1 NVIDIA 81.78)
OpenGL extensions:
