It Came From Orlando
You think Courtney Love is a badass? Even at her most unlady-like TV moments, she's like Miss Manners compared to the girls in Orlando's Jeanie and the Tits Jean Smegma, Mary Mammary, Yochi Yeast, and Kristin Klamydia. Then again, coming from the same scene that spawned many a rowdy punk band (namely, the now-defunct Stud Dogs), the Tits' fuckin'-A attitude isn't surprising. It's also no shock that their brand of punk is rude, raw, and stripped-down. So that oughta give Fort Lauderdale time to plan for this Friday's Orlando Invasion, which also includes O-Town rockers Derek Lyn Plastic and Fashion Fashion and the Image Boys. Of course, someone's gotta rep the 954, and the recently reunited Drug Czars have it covered. Sheesh... and you thought Orlando was all about boy bands.
Jeanie and the Tits, Derek Lyn Plastic, Fashion Fashion and the Image Boys, and the Drug Czars perform Friday, September 22, at Maguire's Hill 16, 535 N. Andrews Ave., Fort Lauderdale. The show starts at 10 p.m. Admission costs $4. Call 954-764-4453, or visit www.lowfidelityevents.com.

Re: Gearman::Server vs POEby runrig (Abbot)
|on Aug 28, 2013 at 15:08 UTC ( #1051294=note: print w/ replies, xml )
|Need Help??
Gearman and POE are different things. Gearman is a distributed job queue, POE is a framework for event-based programming. Sure, they can get some of the same sorts of things done, but what specifically do you want to do?
Gearman::Server vs POE implementation in perl
There's a POE::Component::Gearman::Client library. Are you referring to that?
In Gearman vs X discussions, I usually hear Gearman vs. some message queue, not Gearman vs POE.
Anyway, if you are going to use Gearman, I'd look at Gearman::XS. Unless you want to use Gearman within POE, then I'd probably look at that library I just mentioned.

The Harrison was originally designed by A. C. Menges and named after William Harrison. The first Harrison automobile was a Runabout shown below. It had a 94 inch wheel base and a two cylinder engine mounted under the seat. Steering was by tiller, three speed transmission and final drive was by chain.
1905 Harrison Model A Runabout
The 1906 Harrison Model B Touring Car had a wheel base of 115 inches with 36 inches wheels. It had a side entrance body seating seven passengers. The model B eventually became a very large automobile with 120 inch wheelbase that sold for nearly $5,000.00. That price included a cape top, storm curtains, mats, horn, tools and five lamps.
1906 Harrison Wagon Co. Magazine Advertisement
Most Harrison automobiles were equipped with a vertical four cylinder engine. A unique feature was a self starting system which introduced acetylene into the proper cylinder for starting by spark. Transmission was a sliding gear type with three forward and reverse.

Recent reviews:
January 14, 2014 - Very disappointed in this product. Was bought as a gift, but I decided not to give it. The colors are not true. The "natural" is a dull white, and is nothing like the silvery look in the picture. Also beware--these are scratchy too. I did not expect this. We have alpacas next door and they feel soft!

WASHINGTON (AP) — States are about to get some guidance from President Barack Obama about how they can get around provisions in the Bush-era No Child Left Behind law — a step the administration has undertaken to effectively gut the law since Congress had been slow to rewrite it.
In advance of Obama's speech Friday, Education Secretary Arne Duncan has said states would be able to seek waivers around requirements in the law if they can meet certain requirements the White House favors. He has said the emphasis will be more on growth than actual test scores, but revealed few specifics on how the plan would work.
"We can't have a law on the books that's slowing down progress, that's slowing down innovation," Duncan said Thursday in Joplin, Mo., where schools were left in ruins after a tornado last May.
The No Child Left Behind passed in 2001 with widespread bipartisan support and much fanfare. It sought to hold schools more accountable for student performance and get better qualified teachers in classrooms. When schools were deemed as failing after set periods of time, extra tutoring and school choice have been offered to students, under the law.
A component of the law that said all students must be proficient in math and reading — meaning all students must by 2014 meet grade level standards in those subject areas — has been hugely unpopular. Critics say the law created too much of an emphasis in classrooms on standardized tests with stakes so high that it may have even created an environment where school officials in some districts opted to cheat.
Duncan has warned that 82 percent of schools next year could fail to reach proficiency requirements, and thus be labeled as a "failure." Duncan has said it's "dishonest" for schools to receive the label if they are showing real improvements, and the law is creating a "slow-motion educational train wreck." He's also said that many states under the law have lowered standards instead of making them more rigorous and that the law fails to differentiate between a high-performing school with one or two subgroups underperforming and a low-performing school where everyone is struggling.
The law has been due for a re-write since 2007, and Obama and Duncan had asked that it be overhauled by the beginning of this school year. But a growing ideological divide in Congress in recent years has only complicated efforts to do so.
The GOP-led House education committee has forwarded three bills that would overhaul aspects of it, but has yet to fully tackle some of the more contentious issues such as teacher effectiveness and accountability. Key Democrats on education issues on Capitol Hill, such as Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, and Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., have said they understand why the administration is moving forward with its plan.
But Rep. John Kline, R-Minn., who chairs the House education committee, has questioned if Duncan even has the authority to offer waivers to states in exchange for such changes. He's said the president has allowed "an arbitrary timeline" to dictate when Congress should get the law rewritten, and that the committee needs more time to develop its proposals, which it is doing. And, Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., the ranking Republican on the Senate committee with oversight over education, said the plan represents a shift in power from states to the federal government.
Duncan has said his plan would not undermine what Congress is doing because the waivers could serve as a bridge until Congress acts.

James Fisher Defence (JFD), a global subsea operations and engineering company, today announced the acquisition of Defence Consulting Europe AB (DCE) for an initial consideration of £3.7m for the intellectual property and the entire share capital of DCE. Further consideration of up to £1.9m is payable contingent on certain turnover and profit targets for the period until June 2016.
DCE, based in Sweden, designs and manufactures Swimmer Delivery Vehicles (SDVs) for covert operations. The acquisition further strengthens JFD's Special Operations customer offering, as well as expanding its range of SDV products and solutions the company provides to markets including special forces, law enforcement, counter-terrorism, maritime protection and mine countermeasures. As part of the acquisition, DCE will adopt the JFD brand name, operating as James Fisher Defence Sweden.
"This acquisition is a significant move for JFD and enables us to offer our customers a broader range of vehicles to suit a variety of mission types and deployment methods. Sweden is renowned for the quality and practicality of its maritime engineering and DCE brings with it a proven range of products and designs which complement those that exist within JFD," said Ben Sharples, Managing Director, James Fisher Defence.
"We are seeing significant interest in navies looking to develop specific maritime skills for special forces, counter-terrorism and other areas of covert operations. This acquisition will allow customers to benefit from our combined subsea engineering experience, safety pedigree and global support network."
JFD and DCE recently launched a new range of SDVs called The SEAL Pod; surface or sub-sea craft, which can be optimized for a particular deployment method or mission profile and can be provided in a number of configurations:
• SEAL Carrier's; surface and subsurface vehicle operating at speeds greater than 30 kts delivered by surface ship or air-dropped.
• Sub SEAL's; wet or dry submersibles delivered from or via an attachment to the casing of a submarine, by ship davit or by helicopter
• Torpedo SEAL's; small, highly flexible wet submersibles capable of extending diver deployment range.
Frederik Hillelson, Managing Director, JFD Sweden, said, "Being part of JFD provides us with the necessary resource and scale to support the demand we have seen for our products in this exciting market. Our ambition is to use this, whilst maintaining DCE's engineering focus and pedigree to leverage our range of market leading SDV products to provide customers with unrivalled, best-in-class solutions."

I am a native italian speaker with a B.A in Foreign Languages and Cultures (French, English and German). My experience as a student gave me solid theoretical basis in the field of translation, allowing me to improve my skills and to turn my passion into a job. I can perfectly translate from English and French into Italian and vice versa. Furthermore I can translate simple text from German into Italian. I am fond of literature and writing, that is why i prefer to translate literary or general texts (articles, essays, short stories, novels) . So far I have translated (for both privates and companies) brochures, journalistic and literary texts, mobile apps, user manuals. I translate with passion, accuracy and professionality: quality is my aim.

1. Twitter Basics Getting Started using Twitter Instructional Innovation, Teaching & Learning Center, East Peoria Campus - 240A 1 Twitter http://www.twitter.com is a microblogging service that creates a social network of users that can publish an online message in a maximum of a 140 characters. Setting up a Twitter Account 1. Go to http://twitter.com/ and select the yellow button on the right hand of your screen, or simply navigate to https://twitter.com/signup. 2. The first field is your real name. One way others can find you on Twitter is searching your name. 3. Enter a Username. Try to pick a username that is descriptive and unique to you. This will be the name your followers use when sending @replies, direct messages, or retweets. It will also form the URL of your twitter page. A preview of that URL is shown below the entry field. 4. Next, enter a password. 5. Once you have entered a sufficiently strong password, please provide an email address. The email address is used to confirm your account before you can finish the signup process. You can determine whether or not you want to allow others to find you on twitter by searching for your email address. 6. Next, twitter will try to make suggestions of profiles you should follow to help you build your network. Each time you select an interest, a list of suggested users is generated. Clicking the 'follow' button next to a user's name will add them to the list of users you are following. 7. Twitter will also prompt you to log into gmail, yahoo, and AOL. Twitter is scanning your contacts lists and if it finds an email address that is associated with a twitter profile it returns that profile to you and you can choose to follow it or not. It's another way of helping you build your twitter network. Twitter does not retain the log in information for those accounts. 8. Twitter will offer you a screen to invite others in your accounts not on twitter to join. You can skip this step by clicking cancel. 9. The last page gives you an opportunity to search for someone specific on twitter. You can click the blue Next Step button to finish. Setting up Your Mobile Devices for Twitter Twitter is portable. Most people connect their twitter account to their mobile device. Using Twitter via SMS allows you to pick and choose which updates you want from those you follow, so you can get mobile updates from the accounts that matter most to your life on-the-go. 1.) Sign in to your account and click the Settings link. Click the Mobile link. 2.) Enter your mobile number (you may want to unclick let other find me by my number). 3.) Click Start. You'll be directed to send a text message with the word Go to a specific twitter number. After twitter receives this confirmation text message, you'll be able to use twitter with your phone. You can send text messages to your twitter code to post tweets to your account. 4.) Clicking the phone icon to "ON" or "OFF" on a users profile page or your followers page sets Tweet notifications for that user. Using Twitter To modify your twitter account, click on the Settings link. • From Account you can change basic information, language settings, username, privacy and location. • Notices allows you to indicate when you want to receive email about twitter activity. • Profile is the information that appears on your public page, upload a picture, add a bio and more. • Design lets you customize the graphics and color scheme or your twitter page. • Connections displays any other web applications you've allowed to access your twitter account.
Twitter Basics Getting Started using Twitter Instructional Innovation, Teaching & Learning Center, East Peoria Campus - 240A 2 Twitter Language Twitter has its own terminology, while you don't need to know everything it helps to know a few basic terms to get started. You can find more twitter terminology by clicking on the Twitter Glossary in the help section. Timeline When you log in to twitter, your timeline appears on your homepage. It is the stream of all tweets by those you are following. Newest messages are at the top. You can interact with any message by hovering over the message and clicking the retweet or reply links in the bottom right corner of the tweet. Replies and Mentions To reply to someone type @Username and your message. You can also click the Reply link in the bottom right corner of any tweet on your Twitter home page. The tweet will appear in the user's reply tab, if they follow you, it'll appear on their Twitter home page, also. Or to mention someone type @username anywhere in the message. If the person you mention is following your account, your message will appear directly on his Twitter home page. (If he's not following your account, your message will appear in his folder of @username mentions.) Tip: On Twitter, @username automatically becomes a link to that person's account—helping people discover each other on the system. Put another way: when you see an @username, you can always click through to that person's Twitter page to see if it's someone you'd like to follow. Direct Messages (DM) Private Twitter Messages These tweets appear on your home page under the Direct Messages tab, and if you've got email notifications turned on, you'll also get an email message when somebody DMs you. DMs don't appear in either person's public timeline or in search results. No one but you can see your DMs. Tip The one tricky concept with DMs is that you can send them only to people who are following you. Conversely, you can receive them only from people you're following. Retweet (RT) Repost a tweet from someone you are following, so your followers can see it.. Retweeting is common, and it's a form of conversation on Twitter. It's also a powerful way to spread messages and ideas across Twitter quickly. So when you do it, you're engaging in a way people recognize and usually like—making it a good way to connect. To Retweet a message, start your tweet with RT@username and the original message. On your twitter home page, roll over a tweet and you'll see a "Retweet" link in the bottom right corner, click and click yes again to automatically post it. A few terms to get started: • Direct Message (DM) – You can send a private message to anyone that is following you. • Follow - To follow someone on Twitter means to subscribe to their Tweets or updates on the site. • Reply – A Tweet posted in reply to another user's message, usually posted by clicking the "reply" button next to their Tweet in your timeline. Always begins with @username. • Retweet – A Tweet by another user, forwarded to you by someone you follow. Often used to spread news or share valuable findings on Twitter. • Tweet (verb) - Tweet, Tweeting, Tweeted. The act of posting a message, often called a "Tweet", on Twitter. • Tweet (noun) - A message posted via Twitter containing 140 characters or fewer. • Unfollow - To cease following another Twitter user. Their Tweets no longer show up in your home timeline.
Twitter Basics Getting Started using Twitter Instructional Innovation, Teaching & Learning Center, East Peoria Campus - 240A 3 Hashtag (#) Twitter messages don't have a field where you can categorize them. So users have created the hashtag—which is just the # symbol followed by a term describing or naming the topic—that you add to a post as a way of saying, "This message is about the same thing as other messages from other people who include the same hashtag." When a user searches for that hashtag, they'll get all of the tweets including that hashtag. Many conferences, events and organizations will ask you to include a specific hashtag when tweeting about them. Finding and Following Others Following others simply means you'd like to receive their tweets on your timeline. There is no etiquette to following someone. If a twitter profiles is public, they want followers. If a twitter profile is private, when you click follow, you'll be notified that a request to follow has been sent to the user. The user then has to click accept or ignore for each request. To find others: 1.) Click the Find People link at the top right of the page and enter a full name, username or email. 2.) Ask your friends for their twitter name and go to their url twitter.com/ their username. 3.) Go to the twitter page of someone you are following and click the view all link under the Following section in the side bar on their page. You'll see a list of everyone they follow. Click on the username to see their page, review their tweets to see if its someone you'd like to follow. 4.) Visit your favorite websites and blogs and look for the "Follow us on Twitter" link. To follow others: On their twitter page, you'll see a follow button directly under their username and picture. Just click the "Follow" button. Posting your First Tweet Twitter is excellent for discovering new information. Some people use twitter only to discover new information and resources from those they follow. Tweeting in optional. To get started tweeting, first observer some the users you follow. The easiest way to create your first tweet is to just click retweet and post a good tweet from someone you follow. Clicking reply on a tweet is a good way to get started also. retweet retweet reply hashtag
Twitter Basics Getting Started using Twitter Instructional Innovation, Teaching & Learning Center, East Peoria Campus - 240A 4 Twitter Tips for Getting Started: • Think about how you want to use twitter, professional, personal (for family and friends), or for a hobby. That will help you determine the type of people to follow and the types of things you'll tweet about. o There is nothing wrong with setting up multiple twitter accounts for different purposes. Many people have a professional public twitter account and personal private twitter account. • Build your network; that is where the value of twitter lies. Follow lots of people but be selective about who you follow. Remember there is nothing wrong with choosing to unfollow someone. • Go to the page of people you are following and browse through the list of people they are following. Often someone you are following with common interest that has been using twitter for a while will have a valuable list of resourceful people for you to follow. It is a great way to build your network. • Use a twitter application to post tweets. Most automatically shorten urls, make it easier to include video and photos, reply and retweet. Twitter Tools and Applications There are tons of applications for twitter. You might hear them called "tools, add-ons, apps,etc…" Applications make twitter easier to use. Especially if you're using twitter with a mobile device and have the ability to download and use an app, it'll make twitter much more useful.

EDS is protesting the General Services Administration's decision to award contracts to two companies selected to provide Web-based travel management for the federal government.
The contract was awarded to Northrop Grumman Mission Systems and CW Government Travel Inc. Aug. 13, after a monthlong review process conducted by GSA in collaboration with 22 other agencies. The two companies demonstrated their ability to provide a comprehensive, end-to-end travel services portal that supports federal travel regulation policies, GSA officials said.
The eTravel portal will allow federal agencies to plan travel, make reservations, expedite the reimbursement of travel expenses to employees and capitalize on the government's buying power to reduce the cost of travel management. The 10-year, $450 million eTravel contract is expected to cut federal travel management costs by up to 50 percent.
"We believe the procurement process was not fair to all bidders and the award decision was flawed in several respects," said EDS spokesman Kevin Clarke. "We offered the lowest overall cost."
The protest also questioned GSA's assessment of the bidders.
"Northrop Grumman was inexplicably rated outstanding in both technology and past performance," Clarke said. "In contrast to their rating, our proposal was rated only acceptable." EDS already has electronic travel systems running successfully at the Department of Veterans Affairs, the International Trade Commission and the U.S. Marshals Service, he said.
Tim Burke, GSA's eTravel program manager said officials at the General Accounting Office are reviewing the protest and will make a decision on the matter within 100 days, around Dec. 8. GSA officials will withhold further comment until GAO's decision, he added.
Meanwhile, GSA's eTravel program management office will continue to work with agencies to guarantee a smooth migration to eTravel services, which will be available for full operation by December, Burke said.

Written on: 25/08/2014 by Pritchard187 (1 review written)
This is my story of a visit to of the Lidl Paignton Devon Branch 3 weeks ago, as I made my way to the checkout the gentleman on the checkout put up a sign indicating checkout closing. I was just about turn towards the next checkout, when suddenly and without warning tripped over a large pack of water bottles that had been abandoned by the checkout. I had no chance to steady myself and I fell forwards and finally landed with a crash on my front. As I did, my ribs and knees slammed into the hard floor.
Fortunately as the store was full of the shoppers in the queue, who saw what happened they came to my aide. While trying to get up with the help of some of the customers, a member staff managed to locate a Duty Manager. A member of staff found the water and the Manager apologised and stated it should never of happened!
I was physically shaken and to add to my further shock was taken, not to somewhere private, or somewhere I could sit down and gather some composure, but instead I was escorted to an empty checkout where I stood holding my side in excruciating pain. I felt like someone had taken a baseball bat and hit me as hard as they could as the Duty Manager proceeded to fill out an accident form WITH MY PRIVATE DETAILS in full view and hearing of everyone in the store.
To date all I have is my GP diagnoses of fractured ribs, and some bruising is still evident and a "sorry to hear - we will be in touch" letter from Lidls HQ - Sorry Lidls clearly customer care is not what you pride yourselves on and I am now engaging with solicitor who will be in touch quicker than you!

It's been a slow, painful process, almost like a divorce, but finally Barclays' separation from the London Metal Exchange is nearing completion.

In June 2002, it gave us terms of reference for a fourth report to be submitted by February 2003. As with our previous reports, we have based our recommendations on extensive research and consultation. We are indebted to all those who have Conveyancing Fees assisted us in our task by providing information, undertaking research and engaging with us in consultation and debate.
In making our recommendations, we were asked to have regard to the wider economic and social implications.The Government asked us to look specifically at 21 year olds. At the time of our first report the data and evidence could lead to a number of possible judgments. But the data for this report are far clearer for most 21 year olds the lower statutory minimum is irrelevant.
As they already receive at least the full National Minimum Wage. We have scrutinised the immediate impact of the minimum wage. But a full assessment cannot be undertaken now. More time is needed before national earnings data are available to help evaluate its full impact. Similarly, although our evidence suggests that compliance is reasonably high, it is too soon to offer a definitive assessment.
We were not asked to make recommendations on uprating, or on the coverage of younger workers other than 21 year olds, and so we have not done so. But the Commission is clear that for the National Minimum Wage to continue to be a useful labour market instrument, it cannot be left at its initial rate.
The level must be reassessed, so that employers can plan ahead, and low-paid workers can continue to benefit. Following our initial recommendations, the Government asked us to monitor the implementation of the National Minimum Wage and report again in December 1999.In particular, it asked us to review the position of 21 year olds. It then issued Regulations and guidance and launched an extensive advertising campaign.
