During these trying financial times, the cost of healthcare and how much we are willing to pay for it is at the top of our economic concerns. The financial value of pain has a wide ranging influence, affecting drug prices and injury compensation. But what about on an individual level is it possible to place a value on our health, to prevent pain and suffering? University College London psychologists Ivo Vlaev and Nick Chater, and neuroscientists Ben Seymour and Raymond J. Dolan were interested in just how much money volunteers were willing to pay to avoid pain and discomfort.
Study participants were given money, with the understanding that they could keep for themselves whatever cash remained. They experienced one pulse of electric shock and then had to indicate how much money they would pay in order to avoid receiving 15 more shocks of the same intensity. Then, a computer program would determine how much the volunteers would actually have to pay. The program would randomly select a dollar amount if that amount was higher than what the participants were willing to pay, then the participants would be shocked. However, if the computer's price was lower than the participant's price, then they would pay the computer's price and avoid the pain. The volunteers were informed that the computer selection would be completely random, so it was really in their best interest to select a price that accurately reflected how they value the pain from the electric shock. For each volunteer, this process was repeated a number of times, with differing intensities of shocks.
The results, described in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science, reveal that demand for pain relief is almost completely dependent on pain experienced in the recent past and the available cash on hand. That is, the participants were willing to pay more money to avoid pain if that pain was more intense compared to previous trials. In addition, th

Do you think wearing on-body cameras on duty should be mandatory?
Findings from Graham v. Connor will certainly be considered in the deadly use-of-force decision in Ferguson, Mo. Which is why every American law enforcement officer should have a sound understanding of the Graham case and what it means.
Late last month 126 officers of the Seattle Police Department decided it was time to stand up and challenge Goliath, in this case the federal government. Instead of a sling and a stone, they wielded a lawsuit.
There are a lot of really good docs out there who think the medical academics who authored the EMJ report have their heads in their posteriors.

"Tom's superbly judged and sensitively understated percussion and vocal harmonies proved a perfect foil to Fil's glorious singing, which on this occasion was placed at the service of a veritable treasure-trove of contemporary songs including some real discoveries." (David Kidman, Black Swan Folk Club, York, February 2015)
Irish singer/songwriter Fil Campbell (pronounced Phil) has been a part of the Irish music industry all her life. Together with her percussionist husband Tom McFarland, they play and sing a mixture of contemporary and traditional Irish music, combined with some of Fil's own compositions, and bring their Northern Ireland to the stage.
"She has a gently commanding way with a song … she draws you in slowly until it's a case of sweet surrender."(Folk Roots)
A new CD of original and contemporary songs which will also feature Tom on lead vocals on some songs will be ready for release in Summer 2015.

With folks all over unwrapping presents today and the year just about over, I wanted to commemorate the time by looking at the gifts that the world of cinema bestowed on us in 2014. What do I mean when I say that? Well, in my eyes, it can mean a film, a filmmaker, or a performer who we became thankful for/even more thankful for during the past 12 months. I tried to be as eclectic as possible and think broadly, but of course this is essentially who and what I loved during the year too. It's not my top ten list, but it might give you some idea of what mine will look like. Also, I did try and tie it into the Oscar race, of course. How could I not? Anyway, enjoy!
Here now are ten gifts that cinema gave us in 2014:
1. Boyhood – Almost without exception, everyone can agree that Richard Linklater's film is a gift to cinema. That just makes the fact that it's the current Best Picture/Best Director/Best Original Screenplay frontrunner all the sweeter. It's a unique experience that may never be duplicated and 2014 contained the release of it after a decade plus of preparation/shooting.
2. J.K. Simmons – Who doesn't love Simmons? He's one of the great character actors of our time, but he's never had a role like the one in Whiplash to really sink his teeth into. As such, we should give thanks that this gift of a performance is now not only guaranteed to score him his first Oscar nomination, it's almost assuredly going to win him the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor as well.
3. Life Itself – Legendary film critic Roger Ebert sadly passed away last year, but director Steve James released his amazing look at Ebert's life this year, and what a gift it is. A touching documentary about a life well lived, it's going to compete for Best Documentary Feature at the Oscars, though it's already won a place in many of our hearts. It's just that special.
4. The Fault in Our Stars – There were so many ways that this YA adaptation could have gone wrong that it's a real gift that we got the brilliant movie that we did. The combination of director Josh Boone, writers Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, as well as cast members like Laura Dern, Ansel Elgort, and of course Shailene […]

Spotlight on the Stars: Reese Witherspoon
For this week's brand new spotlight piece, I wanted to cite an A-lister who is having one really good 2014, to say the least. It's Reese Witherspoon, an Academy Award winning actress who only this year is finally solidifying her status not just as a star, but as a supremely talented actress as well. It's high time too, as she's given more top quality performances than a lot of people realize. From some of her early work to the performance that won her the Oscar, Witherspoon has become a deserving member of the A-list, though someone who doesn't always get the credit that she truly deserves. As such, it's only appropriate today to put the spotlight on her. Here we go…
Witherspoon got her start with a few head turning roles in smaller films, starting with The Man in the Moon, followed by A Far Off Place and Freeway, among others. Those parts began to get her noticed, something that would continue up until she broke through with the thriller Fear. Witherspoon was now a young up and coming actress that had the attention of the industry. That would lead to a role in Overnight Delivery as well as a really well regarded part in the film Pleasantville. Particularly with that last role, it set her up to have her first brush with prestige fare. With the black comedy Election, Witherspoon was fully on the cusp of stardom, along with being embraced by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which bestowed her first Golden Globe nomination upon her. Between this highly praised independent film and the pop culture drama Cruel Intentions, a star was born.
She then appeared in films like American Psycho, Best Laid Plans, The Importance of Being Earnest, Legally Blonde (which got her a second Golden Globe nomination), Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde, Little Nicky, Sweet Home Alabama, and Vanity Fair. They cultivated her status as a growing romantic comedy star in Hollywood as well as an A-list actress, but they didn't quite challenge her in the way that she was deserving of. Then, a biopic offer came in and changed all that.
Her greatest acclaim at the time would come when she took the role of June Carter Cash in the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line. Not only did it score her tons of terrific reviews, she would also go on to both receive her first Academy […]

To read more about 2014 Hollywood Film Awards Winners.
Shailene Woodley:
"For this week's spotlight piece, I wanted to take a look at one of Hollywood's best young women. Without question, there are few better out there than Shailene Woodley, a rising star who literally only has the sky as her sole limit. She's impressed pretty much from the very start, moving quickly up the industry food chain from a young supporting player to a franchise lead. During that time, she's also managed to become a bit of a lifestyle icon and a genuine person who stands out in the crowd. All those things and more make her a real A-lister and one well worth this sort of tribute today.
Woodley got her start on television with various guest starring roles. Programs like Crosing Jordan, The District, Everybody Loves Raymond, Jack & Bobby, The O.C., Without a Trace, and others gave her a beginning, which of course any young actor or actress needs. Luckily for her, she'd only need a few years before landing a starring role on the show The Secret Life of the American Teenager. Besides raising her profile, it also caught the attention of filmmaker Alexander Payne. The rest, as they say, is history.
Her introduction to film came in Payne's movie The Descendants, where she announced her presence with quite a bit of authority. Playing George Clooney's troubled teenage daughter, Woodley immediately received awards attention, leading to speculation that she'd receive an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress. While that didn't come to pass (which was considered a mild surprise and a snub), she did get a Golden Globe nomination, cementing her as someone to watch out for. She was officially on her way to the A-list with just one theatrical credit to her name. That's really something…" by Joey Madgison

Eddie Redmayne – Theory of Everything – another movie to see this weekend
Another great movie to see this weekend is "The Theory of Everything," starring Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones.
Eddie Redmayne was the recipient of this year's "Hollywood Breakout Performance Award" at the Hollywood Film Awards.
Below write-up about Eddie Redmayne and his chances at Oscar:
"Today, the theatrical release is beginning for The Theory of Everything, a biopic about noted physicist Stephen Hawking. The role of Hawking is played to perfection by surefire Academy Award nominee Eddie Redmayne, while the role of his loving and supportive wife Jane is portrayed by almost certain fellow Oscar nominee Felicity Jones. With the film now out in limited release, it can attempt to win over audiences in the same that it won over critics on the festival circuit. From there on, it's a matter of seeing if the movie can appeal to Oscar voters. Personally, I think it'll do just fine, but I certainly hope that Academy members really do consider Jones and especially Redmayne for wins as well.
The biopic is of course a look at the life of Hawking, beginning with his time at University and continuing up until close to the modern day. We see Hawking go from an awkward young man to a sick but still mobile student to someone confined to a wheelchair, all the way to the distinctive images we have of the man now. Along the way, we spend just as much time with Jane as with Stephen, seeing how she interacts with her mate and staying strong in the face of adversity. She's very much the co-lead of this story, with equal screen time and just as much of a character arc. Obviously Felicity Jones and Eddie Redmayne star, along with supporting players like Charlie Cox, Simon McBurney, Christian McKay, David Thewlis, and Emily Watson. James Marsh is in the director's chair, while Anthony McCarten wrote the adaptation of the book by Jane Hawking.
Without question, the highlight here is Eddie Redmayne, with Felicity Jones not far behind. Redmayne is the cream of the acting crop in 2014 according to my tastes, blowing me away in a manner that I just did not expect. He's going to deserve the Best Actor nomination coming his way…hell, he deserves the win, but that all remains to be seen. Similarly, Jones gives one of the best performances by an actress so far this year, so when she's nominated for Best Actress and fights […]
David Oyelowo and "Selma" launch to the top of the Oscar race
Last night, I was in attendance for the first New York screening of Ava DuVernay's film Selma. This on the heels of it having a World Premiere last week at AFI Fest, which shot it directly into the heart of the awards season. Always thought to be a potential Oscar contender, particularly for David Oyelowo's lead performance as Martin Luther King Jr., the movie has instead had a rapturous reception so far that has pundits like myself amending Academy Award predictions left and right. Yes, Oyelowo is not just getting into Best Actor, but is almost assuredly winning it too. Furthermore, I now believe that Selma is one of the three most likely Best Picture winners as well.
In case the title itself doesn't let you in on what the film is about, this is a look at the civil rights marches that took place in Selma, Alabama. The focus is on the folks on the ground who helped make change happen, along with Martin Luther King's talks with President Lyndon Johnson about reforming the Voting Rights Act and eliminating the barriers to black citizens in America being able to vote. Oyelowo plays MLK, Tom Wilkinson plays LBJ, and the supporting cast is huge, including the likes of Carmen Ejogo, Giovanni Ribisi, Cuba Gooding Jr., Alessandro Nivola, Common, Lorraine Toussaint, Tim Roth, Oprah Winfrey, Martin Sheen, and many more.
Technically, the version we were shown isn't finished, so I can't actually review it (though I'm hardly an outlier in terms of thoughts on its quality), but I can say that this is definitely going to be a bigger Oscar contender than I thought. Not only is it basically a lock for a Best Picture and Best Actor (Oyelowo) nomination, wins there are hardly out of the question. In the case of the former, I think the race is now down to Boyhood, The Imitation Game, and this one, as you'll see in my new predictions on Friday. With the latter category, unless The Imitation Game goes on some sort of a sweep, I think Oyelowo has this one in the bag. Further nominations for Best Director (DuVernay), Best Supporting Actor (Tom Wilkinson), Best Supporting Actress (Carmen Ejogo), Best Original Screenplay (Paul Webb), Best Cinematography (Bradford Young), and Best Film Editing are all a possibility. Yes, this can score over a half dozen citations if things break the right way.
On the flip side, […]

Could 'Interstellar' be an Oscar winner?
Last week, I was one of the lucky first members of the press to lay eyes on Christopher Nolan's new opus Interstellar. Now that the embargo has lifted, I can say without hesitation that it's his best work to date, an absolutely enthralling and deeply moving science fiction drama that makes both your heart and your mind soar. More important than my thoughts though (which I'll get into more below), is how its debut could impact the Oscar race. I know that only a few of my fellow pundits love it as much as I do and some aren't even fans of it at all, but this is a legitimate contender folks. The only question is to what extent…
For those somehow in the dark about this, Interstellar is a sci-fi movie set in the future from Christopher Nolan. It details a dying Earth and the last ditch attempt to save it by going in search of a new planet to colonize. Matthew McConaughey stars as the pilot turned farmer/single dad turned hero, with an incredible supporting cast that includes Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Michael Caine, John Lithgow, Mackenzie Foy, Bill Irwin, Wes Bentley, Casey Affleck, Matt Damon, David Gyasi, Topher Grace, Ellen Burstyn, and David Oyelowo. Nolan directs and co-writes with his brother Jonathan Nolan.
Even with high expectations, I was floored by this film. It's visually stunning, powerful, and surprisingly emotional. Nolan has never been one to move me to tears, but on more than one occasion I got choked up. Particularly in terms of how he deals with relationships between fathers and daughters (McConaughey and Chastain/Foye, as well as Caine and Hathaway), it's actually quite beautiful and sad. That's really something special and unique, compounded by how intelligent the science fiction is here. The details about black holes and the Theory of Relativity is handled with the sort of faith that assumed the audience will come on this journey without turning off their brains. If they/you do, you'll be in for something amazing.
So how can it impact the Oscar race? Well, it'll depend on how the precursors and guilds take to it, but there's a potential narrative where it could become one of the top contenders for Best Picture as well as Best Director. If all goes perfectly for Interstellar from this point on, it could be in line for up to a dozen Academy Award nominations. Pie in […]
"Birdman": What's Up with the 2015 Awards Race
Directed by: Alejandro González Iñárritu
Written by: Alejandro González Iñárritu, Nicolás Giacobone, Armando Bo, and Alexander Dinelaris
Main Cast: Michael Keaton, Edward Norton, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts, Zach Galifianakis, Amy Ryan, Andrea Riseborough, and more…
Past Oscar relations: Iñárritu was nominated for directing and co-producing Babel, Norton has been nominated twice (Best Supporting Actor for Primal Fear and Best Actor for American History X), Ryan has been nominated once (Best Supporting Actress for Gone Baby Bone), and Watts has been nominated twice (Best Actress for 21 Grams and The Impossible)
Today we have another article in this particular series of mine concerning certain 2014 releases hoping to compete for some sort of actual Oscar attention as a contender at the upcoming 2015 ceremony. Next up for here for us is a festival favorite in Birdman that's looking to take its sensational festival screenings and use that buzz in order to appeal to the Academy. Can it actually do it in the face of myriad competition? Let us discuss that possibility a little bit now below…
This dramedy is a real change of pace for the normally super serious Iñárritu. It surrounds an actor who used to play a superhero and is trying to stage a comeback through a broadway production of a Raymond Carver story. Michael Keaton stars as the actor, with the supporting cast including Edward Norton, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts, Zach Galifianakis, Amy Ryan, Andrea Riseborough, Damian Young, and others. All of whom are fantastic from top to bottom, with special praise so far being given to cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki and his work. Now, it hopes to become an Oscar nominee.
What this film has going in its favor is how technically proficient and well acted it is. It's also perhaps the most overtly funny Academy Award contender of the year, which never hurts either. Keaton, Norton, and Stone are almost surefire acting nominees (Best Actor for Keaton, Best Supporting Actor for Norton, and Best Supporting Actress for Stone), while Iñárritu is locked into Best Director and likely Best Original Screenplay as well. Lubezki could very well win Best Cinematography and Antonio Sanchez is likewise in play for Best Original Score. Across the board, Birdman is looking like a really heavy player. A winner? Well, that could be a harder sell, but a nominee seems like a pretty sure thing in a number of categories.
Working against Birdman is that it's not exactly a traditionally […]

Selmeston Things to Do
Arlington Reservoir and Nature Reserve
The Arlington reservoir near Polegate in East Sussex is one of the reservoirs owned by South East Water which supplies Eastbourne and the surrounding area with a constant supply of water. It also acts as a nature reserve for many species from large birds such as herons to micro-organisms. It's popular with local anglers due to it's trout population. However, I think it's just a nice place to go for a walk on a warm summer day. The views across the water from the dam wall path are splendid.
There is a well signposted circular walk around the reservoir and through the wooded area of the nature reserve called the Osprey walk. It should only take about an hour for a person walking at average speed and is a nice easy-going walk, so nothing very strenuous.
East Sussex County Council have a suggested walk starting at Berwick train station with options for a longer walk around the surrounding countryside which you can download as a pdf.
You could easily adapt this to take a quick diversion into Arlington Village which has a pretty church (St Pancras) and a great pub (The Yew Tree).Related to:
- Sailing and Boating
- Hiking and Walking

Blank: Replacements at Lambeau never a concern
By Marc Sessler
Around the League Writer
Published: Sept. 27, 2012 at 10:16 a.m.
Updated: Sept. 27, 2012 at 12:31 p.m.
Arthur Blank of the Atlanta Falcons was reportedly among a handful of owners at the heart of this week's negotiations to help usher in the return of the NFL's 122 officials in time for "Thursday Night Football."
Darlington: Both sides win
Widespread interest in the lockout proved that the NFL's hold on the public is stronger than ever, Jeff Darlington writes. More...
The return of Ed Hochuli and his men avoids the potential ugly scenario of sending a pack of fill-in refs to Lambeau Field for Sunday's meeting between the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints. Blank, however, told Steve Wyche on "NFL AM" that wasn't the engine that fast-tracked a deal in time for this weekend's games.
"I've never heard of that discussion, and I doubt there was," Blank said. "You know, the fans up at Lambeau ... our team has played there on at least two or three occasions -- three occasions that I can remember as an away team -- and, you know, they're very passionate fans, but they're very respectful fans, they really are. I mean, they appreciate the efforts being made.
"And I'm sure they weren't happy about what happened on Monday night, and I understand that, and I understand from the players' standpoint, coaches' standpoint and certainly the fans' standpoint, but I'm sure the fans would have been respectful. They would have expressed themselves, but they would have been respectful at the same time."
Blank stressed the goal all along was to complete a deal before the regular season. Monday night's debacle put the replacement refs under a national microscope, and Blank acknowledged the response to that mess brought some urgency.
"That's probably reasonable, but there has been a tremendous amount of effort on behalf of the league staff and on the officials to get a deal done," Blank said. "There wasn't a week gone by where there were no discussions and I think everybody felt the deal needed to get done. It was just a matter of when and I think some of the issues that were pretty clear to everybody with the replacement officials accelerated the process."
It's easier for Blank -- and everyone involved -- to comment on replacement referees as a thing of the past. The issue is finally behind us. The Green Bay Packers and their fans might not agree, not yet but after two straight seasons tinged with labor discord, we finally can focus on football again.

Great small-size personal Bible,
This review is from: ESV Personal Size Reference Bible (TruTone, Forest (Imitation Leather)
I bought this Bible after reading a friend's. It's a great size and feel, small and slim but not with text that's too tiny to read. The leather cover looks and feels nice. I particularly appreciate the way it's laid out, with one column of text that is broken into paragraphs and cross-references on the inside margins where they're not too conspicuous but easy to find when you want them. I also like the fact that it's all printed in black; Jesus' words are not in red as is traditional for Bibles.
The only thing I have been disappointed with that bits of some letters are missing; the printing process seems not to have been too careful. I don't recall noticing that with my friend's bible so perhaps it was just this print run.

"We wanted to make an important record in the way that people used to make records. Bands rarely have the time that allows them to create a game-changing album like Born to Run, Rumours, or Damn The Torpedoes. So we said, 'Let's set ourselves up to do that. Let's believe in the songs enough that we're willing to take the time they need and really push ourselves. It may sound naïve, but we still have a dream that we're going to make a record that's going to change everything for us."
When NEEDTOBREATHE's Bear and Bo Rinehart set out to write the songs that appear on the band's new album, The Reckoning, they felt something bigger awaited them. It wasn't just commercial success either. The band's last album The Outsiders hit No. 9 on Billboard's Rock Albums chart, went Top 20 on the Top 200, saw the band sell out venues such as Nashville's Ryman Auditorium and Chicago's House of Blues, and score an impressive number of placements in blockbuster films and numerous prime time television-shows. Bear explains "There was always this creeping reminder that we needed to show what the last ten years on the road had taught us. If we couldn't do that, everything we had worked for was meaningless."
With their reputation as a must-see live act built from non-stop touring, the Rinehart brothers, pastor's sons who hail from the rural South Carolina town of Possum Kingdom, along with drummer Joe Stillwell and bass player Seth Bolt, were determined to create a statement-making album that truly captured the magic behind this genuinely appealing rock band.
"We considered every note, every sound, and every lyric that went on this album," Bo says of their fourth album The Reckoning, which was co-produced by the band with Rick Beato (who worked with the band on their records The Heat and The Outsiders), and was recorded over seven months mostly at their Plantation Studios in Charleston, SC. "Everything was put through the 'Do we really believe in this or not,' filter. We never settled. We were looking for a spark. Sometimes in the studio you've got to keep searching until something happens that feels magical. We were waiting for that moment to strike on each song before we called this album finished." Bear adds, "At one point, we had done 10 different versions of the same song, but that process is what the record came to be about. We felt like no one could take this moment from us. I think you can feel the pressure we put on ourselves in every note of this record. The songs and the album became something much bigger than us ... something we had to live up to."

...goes biometrics relying on finger prints!
Come on Apple, you've missed sales opportunity here... (Now I never thought I'd say that!)
You should have connected the 12v pins to something critical inside so the iPhone exploded. You're in the clear because you did warn everyone not to use them a few years ago. For the fanboiz this will be akin to removing an alcoholics liver, and have them running for their nearest iPhone stockest for a new "fix".
Mine's the one with the Nokia in the pocket :o)
I had a machine that suffered from sunburn too..
My favourite weird one was the machine that would never crash when left on it's own.
I could access it remotely, and run it's little cpu 100% 24/7, no problem at all.
But if I sat down at the desk with it, within an hour it would crash.
Until the one day it didn't... The one day I used it for hours whilst sitting at the desk, and it didn't put a foot wrong. The one day when my mobile phone was off being repaired!
Since then I've never owned a PC with a plastic case.
I have to agree with the guys logic.
His yard,
His gun,
His lawnmower.
Assuming he had a licence for the gun, why can't he go destroy his own property?
I'm not sure what cells you hang about in Martin, but I've been with Orange for years, and I've had no problem with coverage or customer service.
At work my boss is an avid vodafone fan, and all company mobiles come from vodafone. I've lost count how many arrive either misconfigured, or not configured at all. Message centres not set, WAP/Internet access points incorrect, and the pain of actually trying to speak to someone who knows what these setting should be in unbelievable. I know, cos I'm the poor bugger who has to do it.
I won't mention the crazy things that the vodafone internet gateway does to http request... Lets just say when you write a java app that uses http requests, you really don't want it to go via vodafone!
It's a long drop from a high horse.
Pssst, Jon, we don't have 240v mains electricity in the UK anymore...
They sneaked it down to put us in line with Europe...
Now the specified mains voltage is 230V +10%, -6%
Like any modern device really cares as long as it's got above 100v and less than 300v!
Although I do begrudge my kettle taking 5% longer to make my cuppa Grrrr! Bl**dy Europe!
I agree many people use a car that is far bigger than they require 99% of the time, but why stop at saying you should have different cars for different jobs... How about pushing it a bit to different vehicles... I came to work today on my motorbike, and although it's quite capable of leaving pretty much any car at the lights, it's going to go a hell of a lot further on it's little sips of fuel than any 4 wheeler. Damn sight easier to park too!
... did the driver even get into our country! Originating from outside the EU, surely he would be required to have some documents giving him clearance to be transporting all that stuff? Let alone bring himself into our country as a worker!
I can't even order some PC components from the USA without having to make a trip to the local post office to pay tax on them... And annoyingly a handling charge with exceed even the tax... Makes me wonder what exactly the postage is supposed to pay for if it's not the handling!
Love it... Nice to know there are still people willing to either say "bollox" to political correctness, or are so detached from reality they don't even realise such things might cause offence!
I so wish they are the former, but fear they are the latter!
500mA is the specification for the maximum current you can draw from a USB port on a PC. It's not the electrical specification for the connector.
I have a multitude of devices which I charge with Mini USB connectors, and I have a cigarette lighter adapter in the car which has a PC style USB connector on the top. This can provide a whole amp of current, and none of my devices, or plugs have yet melted.
Sounds like you've swallowed the government statistics...
Speed does not cause accidents. Bad driving (which can, but does not have to, include inappropriate speed) causes accidents.
Speed (sorry, safety) cameras are a strict letter of the law device, that take into account absolutely nothing but your speed. Unlike a real policeman (if you remember what they look like), who could judge if you were being silly using years of experience.
Take for example a camera on a 30mph stretch near a school.
Situation 1: Pouring rain, 3pm in the afternoon, school kick out time, car doing 29mph (I know, fat chance of doing >1mph with all the 4x4s about, but go with me on this one).
Situation 2: Same road, 2am, lovely clear and dry summer night, car driving at 35mph.
Now which one of those is going to get the speeding ticket? Number 2 because he's doing 35mph past the camera.
Now which of those if most likely to have an accident and hurt someone? Number 1.
I looked carefully at the statistics for a camera near me, the headline said that it had reduced accident, and upon study, yes it had, by about 2 a year (which to be honest would have been eaten up just be standard random variations). However, dig into the figures a little deeper and you find although the total number of accidents had fallen, the fatalities had actually risen! Now I don't know about the rest of you, but I find a few more dents, scratches and bruises highly preferable to deaths.
Can Johnny Foreigner not use a calculator?
The EU seems fixed on removing anything that might require the use of one... Join all the currencies together into the Euro, tada! None of that annoying conversion. Maybe it's so nobody will have the ability to check their expenses claims!
Come on you lazy buggers, we manage it all the time over here... Here are some rough conversions which you can do in your head. Please note I say rough.
When cooking, or talking about the weather C = ( F - 30 ) / 2
When talking about distance or speed, Miles = Kilometre / 1.5
When employing a plumber, Złoty = UKP / 4
And if you think that's bad, try dealing with Americans who take our units, and then short change you with them... 4 Fluid ounces missing from a pint, that's flamin' criminal!
Oh, and well done to our unelected leader for being so spineless. Pity Hadrian didn't put rusty nails on the top of his wall, or you'd never have had the guts to cross it.
How long would it take to clone Maggy and get her back in power? I know she did many unpopular things, but she had more bollocks (especially when it came to Europe) than all the leaders we've had since put together! Back in those days you could always cross the channel and hold your head and middle finger high and proud!
They do say you can prove anything with statistics.
I remember checking out the figures for a speed camera near me... The headline figure showed a reduction in accidents.
However, when you check the figures, although the total number of accidents dropped, the number of fatalities actually rose!
Now I don't know about you, but people actually dying outweighs a few reduced dents, grazes and bruises!
Where's the download link?
Political correctness goes mad once again (did it ever return to sanity)?
I wonder how long it is before they spot some very dubious phrases in sport...
Brace yourself for...
He shots, he scores -> He kicks the ball at the goal, he scores
And what will become of moving through the opposition like a knife through butter?
Get that 2kg lump and chuck it in some acid! :-)
"the system, which is up and running but inaccessible"
How do they know it's running if they can't access it?!
Small portable storage is always getting lost. I've mislaid countless USB sticks, and even the occasional 3.5 hard drive. However unlike HM Gov, all my important stuff is encrypted, and backed up.
I would recommend going the opposite direction with storage for civil servants being akin to the hotel keys with the huge tags.
Something like an SD card attached to a house brick with a Kensington laptop lanyard should be about right.
Mines the one with the SD sized holes in the bottom of the pockets.
It did work, we're just a bunch of bored techies who love filling in obvious gaps, oh and nitpicking, but you didn't get any of that.
As a Barclays customer I was recently offered a load of shares by them... I chuckled to myself and declined... I'm sure there are some muppets somewhere who don't watch the news about the banking sector in meltdown, but I'm not one of them.
I hope they kick out whoever was responsible for that god awful chip and pin calculator thingy that's required to do anything online these days, and shoot whoever it was that decided not to send them out automatically, but instead wait until the customer was suddenly hit with a "You need you chip and pin security calculator thingy do do this" on the web banking.
Tossers, the lot of 'em.
We see just how good value they really are, and we chuck the EF and F22 up against a current Russian plane... The SU37. We even have some in NATO thanks to our continual expansion eastwards.
Surely it's easier to get teenagers in by just giving away free alcohol... Or am is my 30 something year old brain total lost and out of touch?
TV and film need an email equivalent to the 555 phone number!
Land of the free?
Errr, have you checked that recently?
Mines the nice red one, oh and the musket
I imagine the 50,000 counterfeit DVDs weren't the obvious pirate burnt copies you swap with your mates, rather the more serious full monty pressed pirate DVDs from some dodgy fab plant in the far east.
... is a Friendster?
Which incidentally was underlined in red by Firefox cos it knew it was a completely crap word! Then again, it also just underlined "Firefox", which is amusing...
I've got an original, and I've used the 8gig quite a lot too.
With the latest V21 firmware on the original N95, I'd have that any day of the week over the 8gig... Loosing the removable memory card from the 8gig was crazy (although we know why... Guess where the 8gig is connected inside!).
And for those that ask why... Well go out into the field with an N95 and a Digital SLR. Put the MicroSD into a full size SD adapter, and plug it into the camera. Shoot your photos onto it... Then put MicroSD into the phone, and you can email the shots, preferably via a nice wifi point! Two devices do the job perfectly. No need for a laptop.
You can't do that with the 8gig... :-(
My first experience of the intarwibble was on WfW...
Trumpet winsock...
Spry mosaic...
Ah, those were the days when a web page would load in a couple of a seconds even via a dial up modem (14,400 I think), no huge flash animations, no pop ups, no ads... Ahhh... Bliss.
@AC... I don't think WfW came on 3 floppies.. IIRC it's about 6 or 7... Windows 3 came less. Now if you want Windows 2, I have a copy on 2 floppies.
Oh, and I'm still alive and in my 30s... (Just!)
Mines the one with the U.S. Robotics Courier V Everything not really fitting in the pocket!
Haven't they already done that?
How about sticking one of these puppies (as someone else called them) in an external enclosure and connecting up to eSata. 1500gig removeable storage... Lovely jubbly!
...that New Zealand has more sheep than people... It's just unusual to find one that owns/requires a tent and can verbally reply to interview questions.
Having just applied this to a couple of machines, I found a really annoying pointless change.
Terminal services client from the command line used to use the following for accessing the console...
mstsc /v:servername /console
For no reason (except to make it like the version shipping in Vista, which is different for no reason) you now have to do
mstsc /v:servername /admin
Why?! If you must have /admin, why can't /console still exist and do the same?
I'm sure there are loads of admins on the planet logging on to servers using their tried and trusted batch files who are wondering why nothing is running on the remote 2003 server... When in reality they have just logged onto a whole new session, and not the console they expected!
"To be fair, as far as I can tell modern air-co units take less than 10%."
That was a finger in the air figure, kind of aimed at the Prius, which doesn't have many geegees under the bonnet to start with!
"It's also worth remembering that you can lose 10% in fuel economy while driving with the windows down."
A valid point, although I think you'd need all the windows open to get near 10%, same goes for roof racks.
"You also mention using veg oil etc. Apparently you need to be careful as this can eat the seals in some cars, plus there's the issue of HM Revenue........."
I don't think it eats the seals so much as shifts all the old gunk that has collected there, which has probably been preventing a leak in the first place.
No tax issue with HM Gov any more, personal use, less than 2500 litre (I think) and it doesn't cost you a penny.
"Finally, according to Ford diesel cars are not as efficient for short journeys. I've certainly seen that for myself. Compared to a petrol car the diesel takes an age to get up to temperature and hates short journeys."
Indeed, but for short journeys a bus, your legs or a bicycle would be even better.
Solar cells really do produce very little when compared to the output of an internal combustion engine, and the electrical requirements of a car. One headlamp is 55 watts, just go and look at the size of the panel you need to run that. (Yes I know, who wants a solar powered headlight!).
If you really want to be green and have amazing economy, you could beat the prius just by getting a small diesel from the 1990s!
Sure it won't have an aircon button to suck 10% of the engine power, but it does have these glass thing you can open, called windows. (No they're not just an operating system).
If you really want to go to town, chuck 50% old veggi oil in with the diesel, and tada, you've just halved your usage of fossil fuel.
We really haven't progressed much.
Ah the luxury... I'd be happy to just have somewhere to have a regular ciggi whilst waiting for my 4 hour delayed flight... And they wonder why I get stroppy!
Well they kicked me off for being a wrinkly old possible kiddy fiddler in the recent "delete from users where age>36" clear out, so it doesn't have any impact on me, although it is rather amusing...
However, I'd just like to ask if someone could clarify the "it's our hobby, we don't make any money from this site" with "Faceparty, owned by Anarchy Towers Ltd"...
Are you allowed hobbies in work time? If so, can I get paid to f*ck off to the zoo too?
Film? What is this film you speak of granddad?
...this would already be covered by harassment laws...
However, congrats to Scotland for making a bonkers law, without thinking about the technology involved...
What happens if the receiver is in Scotland, and the sender in England? Or vice versa?
What if the receiver is in Scotland, but happens to be logged onto a cell on the other side of the border in England? Or in England and happens to be logged on to a cell in Scotland?
What about if both parties are English and are on the English side of the border, but happen to both be logged onto Scottish cells? I know the whole of the UK is pretty much run by Scots these days (second only to when James I was on the throne), but surely we need to keep their daft laws behind the little wall!

About putting a blue tarp out on my back lawn... Anyone know when the next Google plane is due over?
Exactly what I thought...
It's got "My new firewall" written all over it...
I think you're a little confused. I can't think of any home router that routes anything inwards by default.
The only way data is allowed in from the internet to your home PC is when you have initiated the connection yourself from the PC, then the router knows to let a reply come back through. When you drop the connection to that port the router clears the entry and you're closed off again.
I think the big problem is people who are not behind a NAT router, but actually have the public IP on their machine, i.e. dialup modem, USB broadband adapter. Plus of course those who don't bother with even free antivirus and execute any old attachment they receive in email or IM, no amount of firewall will safe you from basic stupidity.
So why do you bother putting a suit and tie on everyday?
Who's to say that the red paint isn't their uniform for hunters? Maybe the red is actually some mud from the river which helps stop the insects biting them? It could all be perfectly logical.
Personally I find some of the views here a little worrying. Who are we to impose our so-called advances on them? You're judging them using our standards and beliefs, they are a completely different culture.
Sit back and look at what our so called culture has given us... 1001 excellent ways to kill people and things including the planet. How nice.
They're probably stupid enough to, yes!
If I don't quickly dig through my hotmail inbox and deleted the rude Simpsons cartoon, I'll end up on the sex offenders register?
Doubtful... I've tried turning on my GPS on a plane before, cos budget flights never have the fun "What the toilet will currently flush on" tracking displayed for us cattle... I've never managed to get a satellite lock, and I've tried with 2 different units.
Then of course there's the matter of batteries, as has been mentioned a few times, and of course the odds on a UPS package correctly making that many trips without an extended stay in Germany via Heathrow terminal 5... They're so low they rival our Eurovision odds!
So add one vote to the "it's a 5 minute job with paint"
The liquid metal isn't that much of a problem, it's the vapours it gives off, very nasty.
As for the sodium, I remember one lad at school who would always drop some down the sink to watch it go. One lesson the teacher said "Today we're going to be using sodium, I don't want any of it going down the sink, Fred Bloggs do you hear me?!" (name changed of course).
About 2 minutes into the experiment that was a huge boom from the back of the room, we all turned to see Fred standing there, white faced. Sure enough he'd chucked some sodium down the sink, but hadn't thought to rinse the sink out first... Whoever had used it last had just tipped acid down it, and not rinsed it either!
He didn't do that again!
I pick up disk, I place disk in laptop cd/dvd drive, I image it onto hard drive as an iso file with one of 100 programs, I place disk back in case on put it back on the desk under a pile of bits of paper.
Pick up laptop, walk out of office.
Now tell me, look at your disk, the one you lost for a year, and tell me if you can tell it's been copied.
Given that it was lost, and therefore out of sight for a year, I could have taken it home and copied the ones and zeros off it by hand in that time, still without anyone knowing!
Muppets the lot of them!
Black helicopter cos these idiots would forget to mask the windows before applying the stealth black paint coat.
Another reason to avoid Orange branded phones.
Once branded you are tied to getting firmware updates when the operator decides you can, which is usually months/years after they have come out for generic phones as they have to sit on their arses for ages, and then crowbar in all their custom bits you didn't really want in the first place.
Only saving grace I have found so far is at least on the current Nokia N series you can change the model number to a generic one (warranty void of course) and then flash it with generic firmware from the Nokia website.
Or maybe he could stop putting quite so much tax on it... He must be laughing all the way to the bank...
Has anyone else wondered how the price of UK fuel kept going up even when oil is priced in dollars, and the dollar is currently worth only slightly more than the paper it's printed on... Hmmm...
In some of the seedier parts of town, especially after dark when the attendants lock themselves away behind the bullet proof glass, and the interchange of money is done though a metal draw, insisting on pre-pay is pretty much the norm. Especially if you happen to ride a motorbike and can't be arsed to take your crash helmet off.
However I have to wonder about forecourt layout, I know plenty of garages that are just surrounded by a curb with a bit of grass... so avoiding the spikes is just a simple matter of driving slowly up the curb, over the grass, and then away to freedom. If you happen to be in a 4x4, you wouldn't even need to do it slowly.
Maybe I should set up a business just making "Warning! Anti-thief spike strips in operation" signs.

Here's something to think about the next time you're feeling blue and planning on digging in to a carton of ice cream: you're going to have trouble feeling full because strong emotions inhibit your ability to taste fat.
Researchers at Rutgers University just published a study in which participants drank creamy shakes with varying levels of fat. When the participants watched videos that elicited strong emotions–such as a son watching his father die or a man bringing flowers to his lover–before drinking the shakes, the participants' ability to detect fat in the drinks was greatly diminished. Participants' difficulty detecting fat was the same whether the strong emotions were positive or negative. The researchers also found that strong emotions increased participants' sensitivity to bitter, sweet, and sour tastes.
So, regardless of your indulgence du jour, if it has fat in it, you are going to have a difficult time detecting that fat if you are in the throes of a strong positive (joy, pride, amusement, etc.) or negative (sadness, fear, shame, etc.) emotion. Keep this in mind the next time you raid the fridge. It just might help you keep the pounds off.
And if that doesn't work, there's always emotional intelligence training…

L.P. Steamers: Love this place!!
Awesome cute little place. Got the steamed crabs and they were delicious! Mediums were the biggest size they had that day and we wish they were bigger but we'll come back when they are in season. The service here was so good and they all seem to work as a team together. When we were almost done with our crabs, we still hadn't gotten our crab cake so we asked. They guy was apologetic and said it would be out in 4 minutes but we didn't care. He still gave us the crab cake for free which was really nice. And then when we were done with all our crabs, someone came over and said they had 4 extra crabs and if we wanted them. Hellll yeauhh. We were all full but can't say no to free crabs! Love this place!!
L.P. Steamers: as baltimore as it gets.
baltimore is famopus for it's crabs and L.P. steamers is the place to eat them in baltimore style.
the tables are floating with crabs and the beer is flowing too.
even if i'm allergic to shell fish i thought it was a very interesting place ti visit.
Favorite Dish: crabs is what you should eat there unless you are allergic to shellfish like me.
i had a pata dish and it was very fine for the price i paid.
L.P. Steamers: Crab Fest!
L.P. Steamers was the venue chosen for the main event of BaltOberfest, Saturday night's crab fest. Although I've eaten plenty of crab in my lifetime, this was the first time I had eaten crabs in this fashion, they pour a load of Old Bay seasoned crabs on your brown paper covered table, hand you a mallet and a knife and then sit back and laugh at all the (virtual) tourists trying to figure out just how to eat this thing.
Our BaltOberfest hosts, some other locals and even the owner tried to give us a crab eating tutorial but it was too much for some of us landlubbers. And everyone had a different and unique method so in the end most of us seemed to be bashing them with our mallets much to the horror of the locals! But it was a blast even if I did end up picking shells out of most of my crab meat.
L.P. Steamers: Not for Crabaphobics!
This is a local's joint that has the occasional tourist .... on the night I was there for the VT meet there were A LOT of tourist's! This 3 story restaurant offers ..... um .... crabs. Yup, you can get a cheese sandwich, fries and such ... but the real reason to head to this end of town is sample a pound or two of the area's specialty ... steamed crabs blanketed in Old Bay seasoning.
Now I could say ... "Oh, they bring you a crab" ... but the truth I will share is that they bring you a cafeteria tray OVERFLOWING with crabs .. then proceed to dump the lot off of the tray and onto your table. Yummmmm.
Of course, being surrounded by 50 or so of your best online mates as you struggle to crack the shells for those little tidbits of meat just adds another level of enjoyment to the experience.
Saturday September 16, 2006
Crab Fest at L.P. STEAMERS CRAB HOUSE
Steamed Crabs and ice cold beer -- all go together and there is not a better place to find this great combination than at L.P. Steamers Crab House. A heaping mound of tasty crustaceans coated in Old Bay seasoning were literally dumped on the brown-paper covered tables. Now where else would you find grown-ups wearing a bib, eating with their hands, throwing leftovers in a pile and generally making a mighty mess -- all the while having a ton of fun. I even had a couple of beers. I honestly thought it was a lot of work for so little pay-off. Give me a steak any day.
Here's one very important thing to know about crabs. How to tell the "Boys" from the "Girls". Bottom of a female is shaped like the U.S. Capital building and the bottom of a male is shaped like the Washington Monument - no pun intended.
Well we all had a great time and though the upstairs rooms of the restaurant were a little overcrowded . it sure made for a cozy atmosphere.
L.P. Steamers: L.P. Steamers
This very local Crab House in South Baltimore was the location for Baltoberfest's premier event on Saturday night! Bud and his staff are wonderful hosts, it's a great place for dinner.
Favorite Dish: The only thing to eat here is CRABS. Of course.
LP Steamers: Crab Heaven
LP Steamers specializes in steamed Chesapeake Bay crabs. Since eating crabs is a messy business, it's a no-frills sort of place. They cover the tables with long rolls of brown paper and dump platters of hot crabs right onto the table. Mallets and picks are provided, and pitchers of beer are served. Service is friendly and prompt.
I found myself in an odd position at this dinner, since I wanted to be part of the VT gathering but am allergic to crab. Luckily, LP's menu offers other options for diners who can't eat crab: burgers, sandwiches, and other kinds of seafood. I had fried oysters, which were good, with a dish of coleslaw on the side, and tried to keep flying fragments of crab out of my food.
L.P. Steamers: Crabs are the specialty!
Apparently they do have other seafood offerings than steamed crab but we never got the chance. Upon sitting at our table with the butcher paper table cloth and rolls of paper towels, a waiter came with a large tray of freshly steamed crabs doused with Old Bay seasoning and proceeded to slide them off onto the table. At this point everyone grabbed a crab and started using the little wooden mallets that were provided. It was quite a spectacle, a bit messy, but quite a bit of fun. Oh, and the crab was ever so tasty! It's a bit of work but with a group of friends and a bit of beer it's a lot of fun! The crabs were also served with a helping of french fries (mostly ignored) and cole slaw.
Another great Baltimore experience!
Favorite Dish: Crab, what else?
L.P. Steamers: Crab's galore
LP Steamers is a crab house. They bring tray after tray of steamed crabs covered in old bay seasoning until you can eat no more. mmmmmm
Locals reccomend that you drink cheap beer with the crabs.
Favorite Dish: I'd have to say the crabs.
