I can't get out of download mode no matter how I try to press keys at boot, etc. -- just a black screen with the LG logo.
adb devices returns no devices found.
Shows in Windows Device Manager as "LGE AndroidNet USB Serial Port (COM4)."
Flash Tool finds my device, but when I try to flash (using dll C:\Users\SAdra\Downloads\LGD800_20130904_LGFLASHv1 60.dll and S/W LGD800AT-01-V10O-310-410-OCT-19-2013+0.tot), it fails immediately and says "Model Information Check Fail!"
It shows "IMEI : " and "Model : ". That's really scary if that information has truly disappeared (not sure how that could have happened though). I at least have the IMEI on a sticker on the back.
I used ioroot to successfully enter root mode, so I should have an EFS backup, but I don't know how to recover it since I'm in download mode and the only tool I have to work with is the LG FlashTool, which isn't happy with me right now. I've tried key combinations but I can't seem to enter recovery mode or fastboot or anything from here.
Previously I was stuck in a fastboot loop but then I re-flashed most of the stock partitions from (downloads.codefi.re 10d_partitions directory under D800 Stock_Firmware) -- I remember doing this for aboot, boot, dbi, laf, modem, recovery, and abl1 -- I was following some dumb forum post in which someone recommended doing that -- duhh...
I would be happy at this point if I could get back into my fastboot loop -- at least I could flash stuff from there.
What got me into the fastboot loop in the first place was flashing the BeanStalk ROM (it was a two-part thing where you were supposed to first flash the main ROM and then flash a device-specific patch -- well, the initial ROM flash got me into the fastboot loop).
Any recommendations? If I were to use Linux, would I have any other options -- I've seen people mention flashing partitions using dd?
At this point I'm about ready to take it in to AT&T (still under warranty / in contract) and beg for help, although I know I've obviously voided my warranty by rooting it.
I've seen a few older threads where people are stuck in download mode and have the same "model information" error in FlashTool, and it seems nobody ever replies to those threads, so I think I'm out of luck. If anybody has gone through this or has any idea what I can do, I would really appreciate the help.


text: I've got a Motorola Surfboard SB5100 that I purchased about 4 years ago. It's seen some heavy use through the years. I have moved since and have a new ISP which has been working almost perfectly until about 2 weeks ago. I started getting a ton of connection drops. My cabling through the house is like new or new. The signal levels on the modem are as perfect as you can ask for. I was wondering do they actually just go bad? The thing doesn't seem to run hot and isn't dirty at all.

I don't see why the power consumption is such a big deal. The card will be running idle most of the times anyway. And at idle, there's only a ~20W difference between the 480 and the 5870. The few hours of maxed out load won't make a huge difference on the power bill. Get a more efficient refrigerator, LCD TV or vacuum cleaner if you really care about power savings and make a difference
Yup I for one wouldn't take that into consideration when choosing a 500 video card. SLI GTX 480 looked pretty sweet!

Eat, Pray, Love: One Woman's Search for Everything Across Italy,… (original 2006; edition 2007)
by Elizabeth Gilbert
Work details
Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert (2006)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Snoozed through the movie, enjoyed the book. I'm glad I read it before the hype, because the hullaballoo homogenized what is really an interesting and provocative exploration.
The worst book I have ever read. I would never go so far to say someone got a divorce to write a book; however, it seemed as if everything else she did in this book was to write a book. Huge waste of time. I won't lie, I couldn't even finish it. This is about the time I completely stopped trusting Oprah when it comes to books.
Eat, Pray, Love gained some notoriety a while ago – according to the other reviews, this is apparently due to, or the fault of, Oprah – but I managed to evade actually reading it. In recent weeks, however, it has been cropping up with alarming regularity, so I finally gave in and read it to see what the fuss was about.
334 pages later, and I still have no idea.
Elizabeth Gilbert begins by explaining the circumstances spurring her journey of self-discovery. Namely, a messy divorce and subsequent heartbreak with a fellow she moved in with immediately after the divorce. Heartbroken, she decides to commit the next year (four months each) to three areas of her life: the art of pleasure, devotion, and the balance between the two. Hence the title. The first book follows her experience in Italy, the second India, and the third, Indonesia.
The Italy section was probably the best, though this is not saying much. Gilbert maintains that she makes friends wherever she goes, and indeed, a few familiar faces crop up, but we learn almost nothing about them other than the most surface of details. Instead, it focuses on Gilbert. Fair enough, it is her memoir after all, but I can't imagine describing myself to another person without mentioning my friends and family in great detail.
However, the main problem with this book is that there is no real sense of place. She mentions it constantly of course, peppering the prose with Italian phrases and passing references to the background fountains and piazzas, but most of it is spent in introspection that begins to blend into India that blends into Indonesia. The entire book might as well be her sitting in front of a green screen delivering a monologue while flickering images of the cities pass behind her. When she does focus on the city, she shines. Her description of Naples is exciting, fresh, and sharply painted. The faux history lessons, not so much, as there's never a sense of connection to anything. This is a great achievement. I have never read anyone who wrote about Italy and didn't manage to convey a sense of wonder, beauty, and romance, but somehow Gilbert manages it.
Another great achievement of hers is the way she has with words. For instance, I have never known someone to call themselves a "skeptic" twice and had such a fundamental misunderstanding of that word. In one scene, for instance, her friend tells her to make a petition to the universe to have her husband sign the divorce papers and have people sign it – imaginary, of course. As she adds more and more, she grows delirious, and miraculously, her lawyer calls to say it was signed!
Coincidence? Yes, certainly, but Gilbert maintains that it is some cosmic, magical thing that happened. Her description of "reaching enlightenment" was more embarrassing than enlightening. She is so frightfully earnest about some things that I was squirming with discomfort; here is a woman who, despite the occasional wisecrack, took herself so seriously that it was like watching someone burst into tears in a public restaurant and uncomfortably trying to shush them. Maybe if I just keep flipping the pages, she'll stop.
She didn't.
Overall, however, the main thing is that it was dull. The India one was the worst, honestly, broken up only by the trenchant and hilarious comments of Richard from Texas (represent, Richard!). There is only so much you can say about a place where you spend six hours a day in a dark room meditating, and another five scrubbing floors, and what there is to say certainly should not take 92 pages. Someone elsewhere mentioned that this is the stuff of personal journals, not published books, and that is the most accurate description I have found. I have no delusions that my ramblings, musings, and insecurities would be interesting to anyone else, but apparently that was only because I wasn't in an exotic locale when I wrote them. The entire premise was also based on a paradox – a memoir is naturally self-centered. Enlightenment, in my humble opinion, is not. If anything, the more traditional definition of enlightenment is the exact opposite. So the book was doomed to fail: how can you write a personal tale of finding enlightenment? Isn't that contradictory?
I will say that Gilbert's writing, at least, is fluid, and I can almost dredge up some grudging respect for the idea. Others have commented that she was selfish in the divorce, but I will caution that she fully noted in the beginning that she thought it was an invasion of her ex-husband's privacy to drag the entire situation out, so I won't judge her on that. And who hasn't felt lost at some point at their life, unsure of where to go or who they are? That I can grant her. But, as I mentioned, this is diary fodder, not the makings of a great book. I could just never fully connect with her.
Maybe I lack the life experience to appreciate or sympathize, but I think this book simply filled a niche for bored housewives who always dreamed of going to exotic places and having no responsibilities beyond finding a hunky Brazilian lover. Even then, however, I have to question why they would want to wade through 334 pages of someone navel-gazing and only occasionally looking out at the scenery.
This woman will believe anything and everything! It's ironic that she calls herself a skeptic in her next book. I knew what I was getting into on this one; having watched the movie but I was hoping after enjoying the author's other book that this would be a better read. It wasn't. For all the world traveling, it came out dull and uninteresting. She uncritical about woo woo but hyper-critical about herself and her personal interactions. That's not a very wise way to live and it doesn't make for a very inspiring story.
This book was interesting, but at times it annoyed me because (1) the language was too poetic for me and (2) I found the woman annoying because she was not happy with how things are and was not comfortable in her own skin.
Gilbert is suffering from shattered confidence. Who hasn't been there? Who hasn't cried on a bathroom floor, sure that our life is over at 32? Gilbert's beauty is that she isn't exceptional; she's just an ordinary gal with a broken heart and gift for writing.
Lacking a ballast of gravitas or grit, the book lists into the realm of magical thinking: nothing Gilbert touches seems to turn out wrong; not a single wish goes unfulfilled. What's missing are the textures and confusion and unfinished business of real life, as if Gilbert were pushing these out of sight so as not to come off as dull or equivocal or downbeat.
This book started out as the movie did, interesting, exciting, and drew me in but the
story kind of fell flat at the end for me. I was
disappointed even though I did understand that
this woman was going through a life changing

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0143038419, Paperback)
This beautifully written, heartfelt memoir touched a nerve among both readers and reviewers. Elizabeth Gilbert tells how she made the difficult choice to leave behind all the trappings of modern American success (marriage, house in the country, career) and find, instead, what she truly wanted from life. Setting out for a year to study three different aspects of her nature amid three different cultures, Gilbert explored the art of pleasure in Italy and the art of devotion in India, and then a balance between the two on the Indonesian island of Bali. By turns rapturous and rueful, this wise and funny author (whom Booklist calls "Anne Lamott's hip, yoga- practicing, footloose younger sister") is poised to garner yet more adoring fans.
(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 13:33:20 -0400)
Traces the author's decision to quit her job and travel the world for a year after suffering a midlife crisis and divorce, a journey that took her to three places in her quest to explore her own nature and learn the art of spiritual balance.

I'm not really sure how to sum this up as a google question but maybe explaining it in detail will get me better help.
I'm trying to find the equivalent to setting up slots in python in PHP
class Node:
slots = ('name','desc','blah')
def __init__(self, name, desc, blah):
self.name = name
self.desc = desc
self.blah = blah
Running through an array and I hate trying to remember what position somethings at and doing array[3] or what ever so doing array.blah would be much easier. Is this possible in PHP.

Many companies are giving item-level radio-frequency identification tagging a try as they attempt to get a better idea of what retail items are in stock. It may eventually make sense for companies to begin tagging items immediately after they are produced in manufacturing plants, Susan K. Lacefield writes. This would allow distribution centers to scan shipments as they receive them and use this data internally.

Crossmolina or Crosmolina[1][2] (Irish: Crois Uí Mhaoilíona, meaning "Cross of Mullany") is a town in the Barony of Tyrawley in County Mayo, Ireland, as well as the name of the parish in which Crossmolina is situated. The town sits on the River Deel near the northern shore of Lough Conn. Crossmolina is about 9 km west of Ballina, on the N59 Road as it travels west through Erris to Bellacorick and Bangor Erris Glencastle, Belmullet and the Mullet peninsula.
The abbey of Crossmolina was founded by a member of the landowning De Barry family. Little remains of this foundation today. In 1306, three Normans were indicted for robbery from the abbot. During the 15th century, Crossmolina passed into Bourke Family. In 1526 O'Donnell of Tir Conaill (Co. Donegal) invaded Tirawley and demolished Crossmolina castle.
The abbey was dissolved in the 1537. Around 1630 the abbey and its lands came into the possession of Sir Richard Blake. The dissolution deprived the people of a centre of hospitality, culture and education.

The slip on lid of this vintage phonograph needle tin has a nice depiction of the Taj Mahal of Arga, India. It reads; 200 Extra Loud - Taj Mahal Phonograph Needles. The background is lack and appropriately there is a crescent moon above the mausoleum. On the back it says; Superior Gramophone Needles Manufactured from Finest Quality Steel. It is partially full with approximately 100 steel needles, probably not the original needles but they appear to be new, never used, nonetheless. This type of steel needle is used for playing old 78 records.
It measures approximately 1 7/8" by 1 3/8" and is in nice condition with minor wear. The lid retains good gloss and has minor scratch and scuff wear. The gold of the sides and bottom is discolored and blotchy and the back is difficult to read. It would make a nice addition to a needle tin collection.

Hot band may come here, or not.
We're days into the summer television season and already we're bored bored bored bored bored.
Bored by the thought of Trista Rehn Sutter and Evander Holyfield learning to ballroom dance. Bored by the idea of yet another Hilton hogging TV time. Bored (and a little horrified) to see Loverboy back on the scene.
So while we wait for new episodes of good TV shows to resume in the fall, there's time to do other things - like check out some new bands.
One show flying below the radar this weekend looks pretty intriguing. The Hold Steady, a rock quintet from Brooklyn, just might make an appearance at the Indigo District on Saturday night.
We say `might' because the folks at Indigo say the band will be there - at 10 p.m., and for free! The Pollstar concert Web site (www.pollstar.com) says the band will be there. But the band's own Web site - www.theholdsteady.com - has a big blank between today's gig in Portland and Sunday's show in San Fran.
The Hold Steady is a band that defines the phrase "buzzworthy." Leader Craig Finn and his cohorts rocked the crowd at the South by Southwest Festivals in March. It was dubbed "Brooklyn's best band" by the Village Voice, which went on to heap big praise for the band's new record, "Separation Sunday."
Pitchfork Media, at www.pitchforkmedia.com, also is aboard the Hold Steady train. Reviewer Tom Breihan praised Finn's band - guitarist Tab Kubler, drummer Bobby Drake, bassist Galen Polivka and keyboard player Franz Nicolay.
While noting that Finn's lyrics veer toward the edge, the band keeps it together, Breihan wrote: `This stuff would sound great behind just about any garage-rock hack, but it turns Finn's dirtbag chronicles into something epic and huge and molten and beautiful."
Sounds like the making of an epic night.

District Collector V. Seshadri on Tuesday said the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Scheme (MGNREGS) was a 'brahmastra' for the empowerment of rural poor.
Speaking at a meeting conducted on MGNREGS by the Centre for Policy Studies (Gayatri Vidya Parishad) here, he said it had helped significantly in reducing migration of labour.
"It has emerged as most powerful weapon by guaranteeing employment for 100 days a year," he stated.
Mr. Seshadri said the programme had helped in overcoming adverse balance of poverty crisis, making it a legal entitlement for the poor. Earlier system of providing one-time cattle or a grocery shop had not helped much. But the present system – the best anti-poverty scheme world-over -- had gone a long way in improving the financial and health status of the poor.
The Collector referred to increase in labour cost due to MGNRES thereby leading to increase in the cost of food grains and inflationary trends and mooted exploring the option of integrating the programme with agriculture or declaring a moratorium on the scheme during agriculture operations.
Hailing perceptible change in rural life, he admitted some corrupt practices in its implementation and called for corrective steps to tide over the shortcomings.
He said in Visakhapatnam district alone wage employment worth Rs.850 crore – Rs.250 crore this year of which Rs.150 crore spent in tribal areas – had been generated.
He said coffee plantation taken up in 38,000 acres in the agency areas had helped 30,000 families in the district.
Former Mayor D.V. Subba Rao presided. Centre for Policy Studies director A. Prasanna Kumar welcomed and former naval officer Gomes proposed a vote of thanks.

MADURAI: The Madras Bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal has imposed a cost of Rs.3, 000 on Southern Railway for tampering with official documents to justify non-payment of service benefits to a retired gangman.
Presiding over the Bench, vice-chairman Justice P. Shanmugam expressed dismay over the "non-application of mind" by railway officials who initially issued an erroneous pension payment order and corrected it later through another order. The Bench quashed the revised pension payment order that had declared forfeit 17 years of service put in by the gangman prior to April 1985, and directed the officials to recalculate the retirement benefits from his induction in September 1967 till his retirement in April 2005. The difference of amount shall be paid to the former employee within three months.
Pointing out that only the President was empowered to grant leave for more than five years, the Railways relied upon a "tampered" leave chart to prove that the former employee was absent during the period from February 1980 to April 1985, considered a break in service.

Sixteen years, he said. No, 18. Wait. 19.
He was right the third time, but here's how to make it a little simpler. The Fab Five era of the early 1990s was the last time the No. 4 seed Wolverines (28-7) made it this far.
For top-seeded Kansas (31-5) -- the opponent in the South Regional semifinals Friday night -- Fab Five means something more like five trips at least this far in the past six NCAA tournaments, not to mention a championship in 2008 and another appearance in the title game last year.

- Pick St Mirren.

Yeah. ok. Magglis can join the Celtic Fans when they come to Dortmund.
Pretty happy with the CL groups.
Whilst disappointing we didn't go through, always next year. United are still in luckily so hopefully they go far to give us a bigger advantage in the league.
Chelsea becoming the first champions not to get through group stage is just magical :'D
Plus they're going to have extra fixtures so they really can't dare to dream of catching the Manc teams :)
Not bad :D

Plus Bibi warns he won't negotiate with Hamas, and more
• In 2011, Bernard-Henri Lévy finally got to be a part of history. [NY Mag]
• Prime Minister Netanyahu pledged that he would not negotiate with a Palestinian government that included Hamas, as Hamas and the Palestinian Authority currently plan. (Of course, he's not negotiating with the Palestinian government that doesn't include Hamas, either.) [Haaretz]
• Turkey may insist on poor relations with Israel as the Knesset debates whether to commemorate the Armenian genocide. (Of course, Turkey already insists on poor relations with Israel.) [NYT]
• Are policy-makers reckoning with the potential radioactive consequences of bombing Iranian reactors (and possibly seeing Israel's bombed in retaliation)? [NYT]
• It's being treated as a scoop, but it's not really news that, as his former senior aide says, Rep. Ron Paul is genuinely anti-Israel. [Haaretz]
• Netanyahu appears to be forcing the closure of an independent television station that isn't right-wing and has also reported embarrassing details about him and his family. [NYT]
• Do I need to tell you that Don Blanquito, Brazil's newest funk sensation, is an L.A. Jewish kid named Alex Cutler? [NYT]
• Imagine if the White House had termites and no hot water. Israel is real estate. [JPost]
• A judge dismissed two students' lawsuit alleging that Berkeley did not adequately protect them from anti-Semitism during a campus "Apartheid Week." [JTA/Forward]

Who said that boats necessarily have to carry you from one shore to another? Turn one upside down, club it with a pair of drum sticks and it thrums, booms and enthrals.
The broken boat from Madras Boat Club, roller skates, frisbees, table tennis racquets, cricket bats and oars were just some of the instruments used at the 11 annual concert of percussion school, Jus Drums, on Sunday.
The evening began with a dizzyingly synchronised performance by two young boys who could barely be seen beyond their instruments. Percussionist Murali Krishnan and close to 60 of his students from the institute performed songs such as Gananayakaya from Shankar Mahadevan's album, Ilayaraja's Putham Puthu Kaalai, Katrai Konjam from 'Neethane en Ponvasantham', A.R. Rahman's Netru Illatha Matram and Kavithai Kelungal from 'Punnagai Mannan' among several others.
The versatile concert packed in everything from the signature music of Chhota Bheem to a piece where drums from around the world such as djembe, Korean buk and thudumbu took over the stage. The team, which had a performer who was just five, put together not just classic songs and medleys from Tamil and Hindi cinema, but also brought to life iconic advertisements to huge applause.
For the section on advertisements, the lights in the auditorium dimmed, and 'Leo Coffee', 'Hamara Bajaj' and 'Washing powder Nirma' advertisements played on the screen. Except, they were silent. The team rendered the signature background score not just of these advertisements, but also scenes and promos of movies such as 'Thillu Mullu', 'Michael Madana Kamarajan', 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and the James Bond series.
Chief guests Aruna Sairam and Pete Lockett presented students with the Steve Smith Award for the most cheerful drummer, Umayalpuram Sivaraman Award for Excellence in Percussion and the L.K. Award for dedication to Jus Drums.

Notes and references[edit]
- ^ The article addresses the major premise in the argument against the Ortega hypothesis: that citation counts fairly reflect the importance of scientific contributions. It presents the results of a study of eponyms in scientific literature. The result is that usually when a journal paper refers to a unit, constant, technique, device, etc. that is named after a scientist (an "eponym"), that paper will not cite the person who is the namesake of the unit, constant, technique, etc. Early papers cite it more; later papers cite it less.

It was a banner weekend for us ... Yuko's laptop died (it was the motherboard), both of her wipers stripped during a storm, and I got a flat! Still, Yuko made a comic happen, through hardwork and tenacity. Hooray for Yuko! I like what she did in the background of the first two panels - it is a neat effect.
Anyway, I think that's all for us! We are tired, and now we go to rest.
(Oh, and thank you to Mohammad for helping us out on such short notice!)
... this joke takes a little bit of explanation unless you have a rudimentary understanding of Japanese. Basically, sukiyaki is a dish and daisuki means "to like a lot". So, if you really like sukiyaki and (terrible) puns, you can say "daisuki-yaki" and ...
*stares in Yuko's direction* Well, I know someone who feel compelled to say it every time we have sukiyaki at her parents' house.
I experienced a Rochester winter twice, which is misleading to say because Rochester winters never end. DC winters are considerably warmer and more pleasant, and there's less of a chance that some snowplow will pile snow in front of your driveway.
Rochester also laughs in the face of inclement weather - they don't shut down for anything. Alternately, DC freaks out if there's an inch of snow (I am okay with this, because you get a free day off).
There was an infestation of bugs towards the end of the lifespan of these plants so they got moved outside to the balcony. Now they're all dormant or dead, except for Wolf. ;_;
I named the spider plant Wolf as in Lone Wolf, because he actually hung across the room from the others, all by his lonesome. It was his solitude that ultimately quarantined him from the bug plague.
Blue, the strawberry plant, grew one large strawberry, which we were going to cut into four pieces so we could all savor it ... but then a squirrel ate it. D: What a jerk!
... than the texture of a new buzz cut. John is the only person I know who gets his hair cut that short, so he's the only one I harass about these things.
OH, while I'm here, two things. First, there is only one day left until the score on my Threadless design finishes. So give it a score if you feel inclined to.
Before I make an utter ass of myself, is this a thing? Like, a Mardi Gras thing? Making yellow and purple doughnut cakes filled with strings of beads and plastic babies? I do not know much about mardi gras, so maybe I am ill informed. It is also possible that the grocery store was given an order for a dozen cakes for mardi gras-themed baby showers. Or baby shower-themed mardi gras parties? I don't pretend to know about these things.
I'm sorry Yuko! I was distracted!
Anyway, yeah, Yuko did get me some wool socks for Christmas, but this particular pair of poinsettia socks is the warmest, softest pair of socks in the apartment. They are socks fit for a king, but really a girl-king because they are kind of girly. You see what I'm doing here? I'm breaking down gender-barriers. Also getting emasculated for your amusement.
Awh c'mon Ananth. You have one job around here, and that's to make the news post.
And I guess write the comic or whatever.
... ... ...
I finally jumped on the terrifying burning bandwagon and got a twitter account. We're all on twitter now, and despite all living together, will probably use them to banter with each other in the next room. PREPARE YOURSELVES.
Hey fellas! I figured I'd chime in about the stylistic fiddling going on with today's comic in case anyone was worried or curious.
HEY RIGHT SO this is an idea we had jotted down from a while ago. Yuko had this conversation in the car with her Dad on her way from Rochester to New Jersey ... she told me about it later and I couldn't stop laughing. I am laughing about it now ...

Pauline Rook Photography
Pauline Rook is a professionally qualified photographer, living and working in Somerset. She specialises in portraiture but is equally well known for her rural documentary work.
Working on a dairy farm, brought out her passion for black and white photography as she sought to document the rapidly changing world around her. She studied at an advanced level and learned the skills needed to take photographs in dark and difficult circumstances and to produce top level monochrome prints.
For her portrait work she has small studio in Lopen, but prefers to work on location using the beauty of Somerset to bring a unique look to every commission .
Her professional work started in the black and white darkroom and this experience is still a major influence on her work.
She has won many professional awards within the region, her work has been published in books and magazines. Pauline's photographs can be seen at the Courthouse Gallery of the Somerset Guild of Craftsmen in Somerton and at the Shakspeare Glass Riverside Gallery in Taunton.
Exhibition now on at Museum of Somerset Taunton where my images of the excavations and landscapes of Hinkley Point are on show.

Pagasa warns of possible floods, landslides as LPA nears
MANILA—The state weather bureau on Thursday warned residents of Eastern Visayas and the southeastern section of Luzon of the possibility of flash floods and landslides triggered by rain generated by a low pressure area spotted near Catanduanes.
As of midday Thursday, the LPA, embedded in the monsoon trough, was located 270 kilometers east of Virac, Catanduanes, the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (Pagasa) said.
The LPA and the monsoon trough will bring moderate to occasionally heavy rains and thunderstorms over the Bicol Region, Eastern Visayas and the provinces of Aurora and Quezon, Pagasa said.
A monsoon trough is a region of low atmospheric pressure at sea level that typically brings cloudiness and rains over the affected areas.
The weather bureau advised residents in the affected regions to take all the necessary precautionary measures.
Pagasa forecaster Aldczar Aurelio said the LPA had a chance of developing into a tropical cyclone while it remained over the water, but once it hit land, it would weaken. He said there was a strong possibility it would make landfall because of its westward movement.
According to Pagasa's 24-hour weather outlook, Metro Manila and the rest of the country will have cloudy skies with light to moderate rain showers and thunderstorms.
Light to moderate winds blowing from the southwest to the west will prevail over Palawan, Visayas and Mindanao, while winds coming from the northeast to northwest will prevail over the rest of Luzon, it said.
Coastal waters throughout the archipelago will be slight to moderate, Pagasa said.

We are now less than 24 hours from the "official" start of SMB Nation 2005 and SBSers from around the world are currently on planes, in cars, in traffic, etc. making their way North, South, East, and West to unite here in Redmond for Harry B's annual event! The buzz is in the air and the excitement is everywhere.So as you all are making your way from the airport, between hotels, around campus, or wherever you are, if you happen to look around and see a car with these plates (Yes, they are still Illinois), be sure to honk, wave, yell, etc. to get the driver's attention. Why? Because that will be me and after having the privilege of interacting with so many of you in the Microsoft Small Business Channel Community over the past few years, I personally am looking forward to meeting as many of you face-to-face as possible while you are out here at MS Headquarters. And for my fellow SBSers from back in the Midwest (I believe Bob Hood has a caravan heading over from Sea-Tac today), it will be nice to see you all again after leaving my homeland back in June.If I don't see you prior to the start of the conference, be sure to stop by and say, "Hi," at my session at SMB Nation on Saturday, where I will be unveiling the brand new Microsoft Partner Community Manager Team which is one of the most exciting things to happen to Small Business this year! (Ok, so maybe I'm a little biased since it is my team, but I'll let you be the judge after my session) :-)
Welcome, everyone, to Redmond and SMB Nation 2005!Thank you and have a wonderful day,Eric LigmanMicrosoft US Senior Manager, Small Business Community EngagementThis posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights

Fèis Ìle 2013. Here. We. Come.
We set off for the Islay whisky festival on Thursday morning with Benedict and myself in one car, Cat and Monsieur Vachon in the Malt Mobile and a rendezvous set for that evening in Edinburgh, our port of call for the night. Successfully avoiding Ben's extensive heavy metal collection, we were free to discuss vital musical questions such as "Exactly how many years have the ladies loved cool James for now?". Vital, pressing questions.

Hot on the heels of Talisker Storm comes another no age statement whisky from the very same distillery: Talisker Port Ruighe.
So, what's the story with Port Ruighe? Wouldn't you like to know? Well, it's pronounced Portree, as in the largest town on the Isle of Skye, with 'Port Ruighe' being an old Gaelic spelling. The town is based around a large natural harbour, which has been key for business and trade for centuries and latterly has featured some of them there brightly coloured buildings made infamous by a certain children's television programme. The other thing you need to know is that they have their own top flight (see what I did there) Quidditch team, the Prides, that compete in the British and Irish Quidditch League.

You may have already heard the exciting news that The Glenlivet have launched a brand new expression without revealing any tasting notes or cask details – even the bottle is blacked out so that you can't see the whisky until you first pour some out into your chosen glass! It's a totally blind release, the first of its kind and it will take a chap of steel to unravel its mysteries.
The Glenlivet Alpha is available now from Master of Malt, and with only 3,350 available worldwide (600 in the UK), make sure to grab one before it's too late – we expect these to sell at a colossal velocity. Once you have your bottle you can begin The Glenlivet's interactive sensory journey to discover its secrets, testing yourself or learning more about Single Malt Scotch Whisky along the way.

After poring over the entries from our recent caption competition, wherein the winner was promised a full bottle of Clynelish whisky from That Boutique-y Whisky Company, we were a bit stumped (or chimped).
We struggled to choose just one entry; there were so many outrageous images to choose from (some more so than others)! We finally caved and decided that though there can only be one champion, there were a few entries that deserved honourable mentions (and drams). Still, there can only be one, and there was one that was truly more evolved (wink!) than the rest.
So, without further ado...

Just before we officially launched 'That Boutique-y Whisky Company' in the UK (and beyond), we packed up the Mini Malt Mobile (aka Ben's car, complete with boxes upon boxes of Scotch whisky, suitcases, and a ukulele), piled in, and took to the motorways and Channel to get to Maltstock, a yearly whisky festival in the Netherlands.
Pitched as "the relaxed whisky weekend" it is—indeed—"relaxing". Akin to a summer camp for whisky enthusiasts, the weekend is packed with music, bonfires, whisky masterclasses, whisky-themed games, a whisky quiz, and a veritable overdose (if that can be said) of food and friends. This was our third year in attendance, and believe me, it lives up to the hype. By the end, we were all a bit like newborn fawns: blinking in the sun and staggering gingerly about the place. We've got a flock of photos below to give you, dear reader, a taste of some of the activities to be had. A picture is worth a thousand words, they say…
