Re: This is not a goodbye thread
The Cornish Pastys are amazing! I had one at London Bridge today, I could eat ten....yeah, they really know how to stuff things in other things here. Did I mention the most amazing sausages? I have to conciously look for green things or else I'd just eat those.
What's the VAT?
So for cream, I'm looking at 'single cream' or something, I think, right? I don't want to MKAE whipped cream, I want LIQUID CREAM'. I mean, I KNOW you can get it here, I just don't know where it is, or what it's called! Speaking of getting things, I have only one complaint so far: WHY DOES EVERYTHING CLOSE SO EARLY!?!??! Not just pubs, but everything!!!! I saw an ad the other day for a store 'open late', until 8 pm. When do you people BUY stuff?? lol
Beef paste? Well, it tastes of chicken, actually. It's quite gross, come on by and you can have the rest of mine!! I dunno what it's for but I'm making a concious effort not to buy anything I could buy in Canada (and for things like bread and butter, I'll only buy brands I've never heard of or that are from here). I'd never seen beef paste so for 50p, I thought: Hmm...I like beef....=) I assume I can buy this crab spread in the...er...spreads...isle? I like spready things made from things that were once really un-spready.
Speaking of (no pun intended) phones, the whole sim card thing here is new to us. My razr2 from Canada (that I was hoping to use) doesn't even HAVE one!! That you can buy a phone and just switch sim cards is very cool. Strange but cool. I need a new phone, the one I had to get here (that cost me 5 quid the day I got here) is so crap it isn't funny. Wait till you see it, Duncan.
Also, I'm not terribly quick on the 24 hr clock thing either.....

Running back Christine Michael knows the glory of winning a Super Bowl. The Seattle Seahawks rookie ran for 79 yards on 18 carries during the franchise's first championship season.
Now, he's doing his best to cheer up a young girl from the Houston area.
Eighteen-year-old Taylor Kirkwood, who is autistic will be attending the Anahuac High School prom later this month with Michael.
Kirkwood's mother, Stacie Holmes, has a cousin that went to high school in Beaumont with Michael and arranged the meeting.
Kirkwood is very much looking forward to prom night and is confident that things will go well.
When asked by her mother if she'd kiss Michael, Kirkwood had a definite and sure response.
"Yes," she said with a nod and a smile.

The most recent short interest data has been released by the NASDAQ for the 04/15/2013 settlement date, which shows a 6,461,673 share decrease in total short interest for Kimco Realty Kimco Realty Corp. (NYSE: KIM), to 17,518,588, a decrease of 26.95% since 03/28/2013. Total Total short interest is just one way to look at short data; another metric that we here at Dividend Channel find particularly useful is the "days to cover" metric because it considers both the total shares short and the average daily volume of shares traded. The number of shares short is then compared to the average daily volume, in order to calculate the total number of trading days (at the average volume) it would take to close out all of the open short positions if every share traded represented a short position being closed. Average daily volume for KIM at the 04/15/2013 settlement increased to 2,926,068, as compared to 2,733,483 at the 03/28/2013 report. That brought "days to cover" down to 5.99, a 31.75% decrease from the 8.77 days to cover calculated at the previous short interest data release. The below chart shows the historical "days to cover" for KIM at previous short interest release dates:
A decreased "days to cover" value could indicate that short sellers are no longer expecting the same decline in stock price they once were, or it could also indicate a long bet elsewhere was closed where KIM had been shorted as a hedge.

The chart below shows the one year performance of KIM shares, versus its 200 day moving average. Looking at this chart, KIM's low point in its 52 week range is $17.16 per share, with $23.58 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $23.22.

All Kinds of Fast
The 808 changed perceptions about deep-section wheels. At first, its 82 mm-deep profile appeared only in time trials and triathlons. And sure enough, its early incarnations netted numerous Grand Tour stage wins and Ironman® world championship at Kona. Still, it didn't take long before Zipp riders discovered that the 808's light weight, responsiveness, and solid handing are ideally suited to hilly bike legs, criteriums, field sprints and long days off the front of the peloton.
Now, with the new Firecrest® rim shape, the 808 has improved in almost every metric. In fact, the 808 Firecrest is the fastest front wheel we've ever tested. Its 27.5 mm-wide profile is 15 seconds faster than before over 40 km, and now equals or exceeds the performance of any 90 mm-deep rim on the market as well as many discs. At high wind angles, the 808's aero advantage is even greater, yet Firecrest also makes the 808 remarkably stable.
Essentially, the 808 Firecrest provides the speed of a much deeper rim with the handling of a much shallower one. On windy non-disc-legal course like Kona, that counts for a lot. And in Firecrest's first crack at elite-level competition, Chris "Macca" McCormack rode it to a win on the Big Island in 2010.
With its wider profile, the latest 808 Firecrest Tubular also shows improved lateral stiffness for efficient power transfer and crisp acceleration, yet offers greater comfort and impact resistance than its predecessor.
New for 2014, the 808 Firecrest Tubular is built with a the latest iteration of our 188 rear hub, the V9, along with new spoke-lacing pattern for the rear wheel - refinements that result in improved stiffness and durability. The new hub was developed in cooperation of superstar sprinter Mark Cavendish of the Omega Pharma – Quick-Step Cycling Team and is in use by other top pro cyclists and triathletes including Pete Jacobs and Mirinda Carfrae.
Cavendish received early hub prototypes in January 2013 and logged 13,000 kilometers (8,078 miles) on continually refined variants, including his stage victories at the Giro d'Italia and the 2013 Tour de France. His feedback helped optimize the hub's flange geometry, stiffness and weight.
The new 188/V9 hub has larger precision Swiss steel bearings for increased durability. Our new "virtual 3 cross" lacing on both sides of rear wheel improves stiffness, achieving 3 cross stiffness in a 2 cross pattern with a new spoke geometry. The 188/V9 has 25 percent more torsional stiffness than a leading competitive hub. This measure of stiffness is crucial for the direct power transfer to the rear wheel for out-of-the saddle sprints and climbs. The new hub also is laterally (side-to-side) stiffer that its rival or predecessor.

With the new proprietary Firecrest rim shape in our 202, 303, 404 and 808 Firecrest wheels, Zipp wheels make a bigger difference in more ways than ever. Not only is Firecrest more aerodynamic than any other rim design, it improves handling in crosswinds and overall ride quality.
ABLC™ (Aerodynamic Boundary Layer Control)
Advanced Boundary Layer Control (ABLC) refers to the patented and instantly recognizable dimpled pattern found on all of our carbon rims. ABLC smoothes airflow across the rim's surface and is tailored to every model from the 202 to the Super-9 Disc. The third-generation of ABLC has up to four times more dimples than before.
VCLC™ (Visco-Elastic Constrained Layer Control)
Visco-Elastic Constrained Layer Control (VCLC) uses a vibration-absorbing material sandwiched between layers of rigid carbon laminate in the rim. When the wheel receives an impact from the road, much of the shock is absorbed by the VCLC system, delivering a 10% reduction in vibration.
Carbon Bridge™
Carbon Bridge uses a Kevlar® thread in a co-axial helix stitch to bind sheets of carbon to each other in our tubular rims. Because Kevlar is 350% more impact resistant than carbon, it can disperse shock more evenly throughout the carbon laminate, making for a rim that is practically bulletproof. In particular, Carbon Bridge reduces the vulnerability of the rim's tire bed, the area most susceptible to damage from impact.
88/188 Hub Technology
Every aspect of our 88 and 188 hubs sets a new benchmark. The standard steel bearings are the roundest in the industry. The 17mm axle is the stiffest of any road hub we've tested. The wire EDM-cut hub internals are the most precise. When it comes to precision and performance, there's really no comparison.

So, after starterattempt #1 turned to water after a week of nurturing, and starter attempt #2 just failed to start, and starter attempt #3 started well, then seemed to stall out after a week or so, I finally have success! I had been growing starter #3 in a glass mixing cup with plastic wrap loosely covering the top. Yesterday while shopping I picked up a glass lidded glass jar to be the permanent home for my starter, should it ever start. I tossed rebellious #3 when I got home, just in case it decided to live. A couple/few hours later, I noticed it had begun to bubble and had risen about a third! This morning I fed it on it's regular schedule, and this evening it has doubled in size. Finally! I fed it again, with hopes of making actual bread tomorrow.
I'm not sure why putting into the jar got the starter going again, but I think I'm going to be satisfied that it did and not ask too many questions! I wonder if the thicker covering kept it just a little warmer than the thin sheet of plastic...
This starter was done 100% with filtered water and whole wheat flour. I resisted using rye flour or any other "additive" just to see if I could get it to work. Knowing it's possible, so it seemed like an adventure to give it a try, I guess sort of a culinary safari, as it were... I couldn't be happier!

Or, the starter was about to take off, and just needed a little more oxygen to get going?
I don't know. But it's not uncommon in commercial practice to punch a slow dough in hopes of stimulating it. Whether it really causes anything to happen or it's just that the timing's favorable, sometimes it works.
At any rate, when you've got a good horse, ride it.
Good luck,
The bottom line is you have a starter. I have heard that the bacteria get active first in a new starter then after a few days the activity dies down. The yeast take off after the lull in the activity. I don't think I have ever seen this in any starter I have made but have read about it more than once. Seems maybe that is what happened with your starter.

Now that the Solr documentation is correctly updated to show that ngroups and facets are not supported across a sharded environment, how will Datastax respond? My understanding is DSE uses Cassandra's random partitioner which means that it is impossible to shard your data such that all query results will reside in a single shard. This means that all field collapsing features of Solr are not available in a Datastax Enterprise environment.
In an effort to consolidate free help offered for our products we have decided to move these forums to a more widely used forum. Please use one of the following queries (or any combination):
- Cassandra: tag search or plain text search
- DataStax Enterprise: tag search or plain text search
- DataStax OpsCenter: tag search or plain text search
Plan for field collapsing support in DSE Enterprise(4 posts) (2 voices)
Ken, distributed group by and facets will work in DSE.
Why do you state that? In the past I've been explicitly told this was not the case and the latest Solr documentation says group counts are not supported in a sharded environment.
Grouping works, group.ngroups does not because Solr does not support it in a distributed environment. We will support custom placement of local to a node data in the future.
If you are interested in having Solr support group.ngroups work correctly in a distributed environment, you may open an Apache Solr Jira issue.

Author David Blatner provides in-depth training on InDesign CS5, the print and interactive page layout application from Adobe, in InDesign CS5 Essential Training. The course shows how to create new documents with strong and flexible master pages, precisely position text and graphics, prepare documents for print, and export designs as interactive PDF or Flash SWF files. Exercise files are included with the course.
Let's say you're making this brochure and you want this background color to extend all the way to the edge of the page. Well, in order for this to work, you have to actually extend it past the edge of the page onto the pasteboard. Here's why/ Let's say it reaches just to the edge of the page, when it ends up on a printing press the paper might move just a tiny amount but you'd end up with a little white sliver down one side. So to compensate, printers want you to extend the object off the page onto the pasteboard and this is called a bleed.
They print the whole thing on a larger sheet of paper and they trim it down to where the edge should be. But how far onto the pasteboard should these objects go? A little bit? A lot? Well, it would be helpful to have some guides to guide us in this process. And we can get those guides by going to the File menu and choosing Document Setup. At the bottom of the Document Setup dialog box, you'll see Bleed and Slug options. Well, if you don't see them make sure you click on More Options so that you do see them, but once you see them you can add a bleed guide.
I'm going to add a bleed guide of about 9 points, p9. You could just type in 3 millimeters if you want or 0.125 inches, about an eighth of an inch or 9 points is pretty good for a bleed guide. And I'm going to make sure that I've got bleed guides on all four sides of my page by clicking on the Link button over here. I'll unlink it and then link it again, there we go. Now I have got 9 points on all four sides of the document. Great! Click OK, and you'll see that I now have this red line on the outside of the document page, out on the pasteboard, and that's my bleed guide.
That's going to give me an indication of where things should bleed to. You don't have to do a bleed guide if you don't want to, but it certainly makes it a lot easier. Now all I need to do is resize my objects until they snap to that red line. I'll grab that image back here and I'll resize that as well, just snap that up in the corners and I'll snap this down to the bottom here. This is going to take just a moment here. I'll click on this image over here, snap that to the corner and it looks like I've got an orange frame here, better snap that and this. It just takes a few moments here to resize all your objects until you have them bleeding off the page onto the pasteboard all the way to your bleed guides.
And that looks pretty good. We can check to make sure that it's looking just right by going into Preview Mode. I'll press W to go into Preview Mode and I can see that everything's still bleeding. The document looks just the way I want it to be. It looks terrific. But there's one thing you absolutely have to keep in mind when you're bleeding off to the edge. And that is, you need to set up either your Print dialog box or your Export PDF dialog box to include your bleed. I can't tell you how many InDesign users have been frustrated, they add bleed guides, they make everything bleed off the page, and then they're frustrated because it won't bleed in their output.
Well, you must take one additional step and I'll show you how to do that by exporting to a PDF. I'll go into much more detail on how to export PDFs in a later chapter, but I'll just do the quick version here, I'll choose Export from the File menu and I'm going to save this to my Desktop as a PDF file. I'll choose PDF from the Format pop-up menu here. I'm going to leave this set up. I'll just use this High-Quality Print Preset and here in the Marks and Bleeds pane, that's what I want to pay attention to right now, I want to make sure I've got my Printer Marks on and I want the Use Document Bleed Settings.
If this is off and these are set to 0, I'm not going to get my bleed. That's the important thing that I'm trying to get across to you. Make sure that you either type in the values manually here, I mean I could just type in 9 points or 3 millimeters or whatever, or much easier, just turn on Use Document Bleed Settings and it takes those values that I put into the Document Setup dialog box and puts them in here for me automatically. And if I were printing this document instead of exporting it as a PDF, I would do the same thing but do it in the Marks and Bleed pane of the Print dialog box rather than the Export Adobe PDF dialog box. And that's great.
That's pretty much all I need to do. Now I click Export and it saves it out to a PDF and will open it in Acrobat. And here we go, here is the final PDF in Acrobat, you can see I've got trim marks where the where the edge of the page is and bleed marks where the edge of the bleed is. And I've got registration marks and it's good to go. Now when you're bleeding objects off your page you really need to talk to your printer first to make sure they're set up to print bleeds, and also to find out how large the bleed should be. I'm using this 9 points but they might want a larger bleed. Otherwise, if you don't talk to them you may not get the results you expect.

5 Things We Can Learn From Sounds We Can't Hear
The thinking behind this idea is obvious: To protect your teeth from decay, get rid of leftover food as early as possible. But you'd really be better served to wait a while before brushing those chompers.
The human mouth has a one–two punch to defend itself. One is tooth enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The second line of defense is saliva. In her recent book Gulp: Adventures on the Alimentary Canal, Mary Roach writes that saliva contains some of the same enzymes used in detergent to break down starches (known as amylase), and antibacterial substances so effective that wounds in the mouth will heal twice as fast as those located on the skin. Bottom line, saliva is your friend.
So give your body's natural ability to break down foods a chance to work after you eat. The acidic environment in your mouth temporarily softens the enamel on teeth while it breaks down food particles and washes them away. Brush too soon after meals and you'll end up scrubbing away tooth enamel in the process. It's not a bad idea to wait at least 30 to 60 minutes before grabbing that toothbrush.
Whitening products sold over the counter in the form of strips, trays, or paste work by using the oxidizing agents hydrogen peroxide or carbamide peroxide to remove pigment on the surface of the enamel. At-home products typically contain a 3 to 10 percent hydrogen-peroxide level, as opposed to the 15 to 38 percent level dentists can use. The products are effective at removing surface stains but should be used in moderation.
But will they weaken your teeth? A recent study conducted by Dr. Shereen Azer, at The Ohio State University College of Dentistry, has shown some loss of enamel ranging from 1.2 to 2 nanometers, with the tray resulting in slightly more erosion than the other tooth-whitening methods. Overuse of the oxidizing agents can cause both gum and tooth sensitivity, and continued overuse may even leave some of your teeth looking translucent. Some researchers even suggest that bleaching can temporarily dissolve calcium ions in the enamel, though enamel has shown the ability to "remineralize" itself, over time.
However, while overuse can strip pigment or enamel from your teeth, it won't weaken the structure of the tooth itself. Still, many factors, including varying thickness of enamel, preexisting tooth sensitivity, and tooth discolorations resulting from decay, affect the results of whitening. So always consult with your dentist.

Nice cozy place. Clean, great food, reasonable. Friendly atmosphere..Henry's a trip.
Posted by Leo L on 07/28/2007
This is a cozy little place on 21st Street. If you've tried places like Krystal, or Elvi's, this one is much better. Best sinigang na hipon in town. The owners - Henry and Marissa Beck - are friendly and very accomodating.

One of the better places to sample Filipino food in the city. Nice preparation too.
Posted by Jan-Michael on 07/16/2007
I love this place. It's a little bit of a walk for me, but it's totally worth it. I have not gone to any other restaurant in the city any more that I have to this one. You know why? Great food at great prices. I love the Lumpia Shanghai. If you go, you have to try that. That's really a hit or miss food. And they definitely hit. It's second only to my mom's version.
Posted by paoix on 07/09/2007
Food - This place has mediocre homecooked food seved in a white square plate. Lumpia shanghai is like the one you would have at your tita's party including the bottled sweet and sour sauce. the filling of the lumpia was barely there and all you could taste was wrapping. The lumpiang sariwa was pretty muich bland. The kare-kare was also pretty bland for a dish that has supposed to have a peanut sauce flavor i barely tasted it. Lastly, for a place named grill 21 they didn't have that many grill items on the menu. I did try the grilled skewered chicken which was ok but I think it needed more sauce. But chicken is chicken maybe the pork would've been better. Service - The service is your standard Filipino restaurant service, nothing special. Value - The prices were fairly reasonable if you could find them on the menu. The menu was not aligned prices rolled down to the next line. Also, if you are not Filipino it could be intimidating to order since it doesn't tell you what the dish is and what's in it. Atmosphere - The place is quite small (~24 seats) so if you have a big party you might have trouble fitting in. They did have a couple of tables outside for the summer. The murals on the wall were interesting... made it feel more like an Italian restaurant than Filipino. Bottom Line - An OK Filipino restaurant... marginally better than the turo-turo Filipino fare that's out there in NYC.

It was only by chance that I walked down 21st street and managed to be drawn into this cozy little restaurant. Its hidden, but is definately worth the search! Coming from a filipino family, nothing really feels like home unless its lola or mom's homecooked meal, but Grill 21 definately has it down. The place is small, the waitresses are sweet, the prices are great (for manhattan) and you can never get enough of the food. The plus is that the staff and the owners are usually always ready to have a friendly conversation!
Posted by Ronald on 06/30/2007
I'm originally from San Diego and have been looking for a more authentic filipino restaurant (in the city). I am confident to say Grill 21 is the place. The friends I brought, who never ate filipino food, loved it as well. Good price (for the city) especially for the 8 of us. And the service was great; they were really nice and ensured we were satisfied... and we were!

This World Lupus Day 2010 we proudly welcome the Lupus Foundation of Florida to our LRI National Coalition of state and local lupus organizations united to cure lupus.
"Our National Coalition covers both coasts and the nation's major urban centers," said LRI President Margaret G. Dowd. "This addition of the bulk of the state of Florida and the estimated 90,000 people with lupus that live in the state—gives added might to our already powerful 'patients' voice for research to cure a disease that affects more than 1.5 million Americans. We warmly welcome them into the fold as LRI marks a decade a of pioneering discovery in lupus."
"We've been following the LRI National Coalition for a long time," said Maggi McQueen, chairman of the board of the Lupus Foundation of Florida, Inc., "and are now ecstatic to be a part of it—in large part because of the cutting-edge research that the organization funds. And we're also very excited about the National Coalition's grants to physician and patient education."
Begun in 1979, the Florida foundation provides services, education, advocacy, physician referral, continuing education and more for a 47-county area—all but the state's panhandle represented by the Lupus Support Network (also an LRI National Coalition member) and a handful of counties in the state's southern tip.
The Florida foundation has also funded research nationally and at the University of Florida Center for Autoimmune Disease in Gainesville, where it has supported $56,000 in lupus work headed by Westley Reeves, MD—one of three Gainesville researchers who have received LRI Novel Research Grants for innovative work in lupus.
"It's fitting that we grow stronger on such an important day for all people with lupus," said Dowd, on World Lupus Day. Now the world's leading private supporter of innovative lupus research, the Lupus Research Institute and its National Coalition bring hope to the estimated 5 million people worldwide with the disease. Visitors from around the globe regularly log on to LupusResearchInstitute.org for updates on progress towards a cure.
Since its creation in 2004, the LRI National Coalition has achieved solid results in championing awareness, education, and action on lupus on Capitol Hill, catalyzing involvement in clinical trials through LupusTrials.org, and fighting to eliminate racial disparities in the diagnosis and treatment of lupus.

The Life Cycle of the Placenta
What Is a Placenta?
Dr. N. Natour, an OB-GYN from Baylor Medical Center in Irving, Texas, says the placenta is also referred to as the after-birth. "The placenta is an organ which provides the fetus with oxygen, water, and essential nutrients as well as providing a route for clearance of fetal waste products like carbon dioxide," says Dr. Natour. "The placenta also produces multiple hormones and other factors essential to the maintenance of pregnancy."
The placenta grows along the lining of the uterus and is attached to the baby by the umbilical cord. "The placenta is partially of fetal origin and partly of maternal origin," says Dr. Natour. "The fetal portion is composed of highly specialized cells from the outermost embryonic membrane, which form projections that contain the fetal blood vessels. These projections are called chorionic villi. The maternal portion is formed by a modification of the lining of the uterus, and the fetal villi grow into the uterine lining."
Basically, the placenta is made up of a combination of cells from the mother and the growing baby. Most doctors describe the placenta as the interface between the mother and the baby. "The placenta provides a metabolic interchange between the fetus and the mother without allowing direct mixing of maternal and fetal blood," says Dr. Natour.
How Does Your Placenta Grow?
The placenta usually grows on the upper part of the uterus, though occasionally it grows on the lower part of the uterus and covers the cervix. This is called placenta previa. Ninety percent of the placenta previa diagnosed in the second trimester correct themselves by the end of the pregnancy. The baby's umbilical cord forms on the side of the placenta nearest to the baby, attaching the baby to its life source.
Growing a healthy placenta takes the same care as growing a healthy baby—good nutrition and prenatal vitamins. The average placenta weighs about 1 pound by the end of the pregnancy. Smoking is detrimental to healthy placenta growth and should be avoided.
Placenta Problems
Most women will have no problems with their placentas during pregnancy. There are a few conditions, such as placenta previa, that mothers should be aware of.
Dr. Natour notes the following conditions:
- The placenta can implant over the cervix, which is called a placenta previa. This may cause maternal hemorrhage necessitating a preterm delivery. All babies with a placenta previa are born by C-section. Your doctor can determine by ultrasound if you have a placenta previa.
- The umbilical cord vessels can travel over the cervix within the placenta. This is called vasa previa and can cause fetal hemorrhage if these vessels break when the bag of water breaks. This condition is extremely rare.
- Lastly, the placenta can start to separate from the uterus prematurely. This is called a placental abruption. This can cause maternal hemorrhage, and if the abruption is severe enough to prevent adequate oxygenation to the fetus, fetal damage can occur. Risk factors for placental abruption include smoking, cocaine use, and hypertension.

Bristol wallet discovery yields historical treasure trove
Posted: January 28, 2014|
LYING on a chair hidden in the top attic of the former Bristol General Hospital has been a wallet containing a collection of old black and white photographs which has gone unnoticed for more than half a century.
The relic was unearthed by workmen who were stripping the 1800s building's roof, ready for the premises to be transformed into apartments.
Peering out of the blurry photographs is a middle aged man in smart suits and posing for a series of pictures with what appears to be his family.
Along with the old dusty wallet a number of payslips with the name John R Mizen were also found, with the dates 1958 and 1959 on the top. And some paperwork, inset below, revealing he was a member of the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes, one of the largest fraternal organisations in the United Kingdom.

Project manager of the major revamp at the former hospital Andy McGoldrick said everyone was keen to reunite the photographs with surviving members of the family.
He said it was amazing the wallet had been discovered because less than a metre away, the rest of the roof had been destroyed during a fire.
Mr McGoldrick, 48, said: "It's a great bit of history which someone will be quite grateful to receive.
"It's a treasure trove of photographs, it shows him with his family; some of them are children who will be grown up now.
"He was obviously someone who worked at the hospital because we found the pay slips as well.
"He could have been hired in to fix the roof after the fire."
He said as well as finding the wallet, the tail of an old German bomb was also pulled out from under the rubble, which Mr McGoldrick said could have been the cause of the roof blaze.
City and Country bought the old hospital, based in Redcliffe, in 2011 as part of a deal worth more than £6 million.
The development is seen as a key part of the city council's plans to regenerate the Redcliffe area.
The main hospital building, along with the former lodge and the hospital gates on Guinea Street are all Grade II listed. A collection of smaller Victorian buildings on the site are also listed meaning little or no work apart from restoration can be done to the exterior of buildings.
Since winning planning permission in October 2012, Mr McGoldrick said his team has been concentrating on demolishing the modern sections of the building and gutting out the interior.
He said: "It's very early days. We are going through specialised demolishing in certain areas as we are trying to take away the modern sections.
"When we moved in it was still set up as a hospital so we are using sympathetic restoration and repair work.
In total there will be just over 200 apartments built on the site consisting of two to three bedrooms and a few one bedroomed flats.
There will also be seven to eight commercial units.
He said the first home owners are expected to be able to move in early in 2015.

Maine State Police and officers from the Southwest Harbor and Mount Desert police departments assisted sheriff's deputies. Bar Harbor A report early Saturday of an alleged assault at a Route 102 residence has been forwarded to the Hancock County District Attorney's office for investigation. According to police, a woman called at 2 a.m. and reported that she and her boyfriend had been forced to strip by another female, who had accused them of stealing $100 from her. The alleged assault reportedly occurred one hour before the report was made. Darrell J. White, 30, of Trenton, was arrested early Sunday on Route 3 on a charge of operating while under the influence (OUI). A man reported Monday that he cut the throat of a deer that had been hit by a car and left to suffer at the side of Route 3. The man put the deer out of its misery, he said. Jesse D. Ford, 20, of Mariaville, was summonsed Saturday on Route 3 on a charge of speeding. A woman reported Jan. 12 receiving a suspicious piece of mail consisting of bizarre photos and nonsensical quotes. Jody Patterson, 34, of Bar Harbor, was summonsed Sunday on Route 3 on a charge of operating with an expired state inspection and was warned for operating an unregistered vehicle. A Trenton woman who allegedly was intoxicated and causing a ruckus was warned for criminal trespass at a Bloomfield Road residence Jan. 15. A gas drive-off of $33.11 was reported by the Big Apple on Cottage Street on Jan. 14. Several cars in town parking lots were tagged for being in violation of parking rules this week. Slippery road conditions factored in to two minor single-car accidents Monday afternoon. Police issued 14 warnings for speeding and other moving violations this week.

Nicklaus hits the art world by placing handprints on his major championships
Put your hands in the hands of the man who won the most majors. The mitts you see here are from Jack Nicklaus, commemorating his biggest career victories.
In the collectibles world, that's gold. And we mean gold: Jack dipped his hands into paint that included 22-karat gold leaf, with originals and prints to be sold by Crowning Moments (artofnicklaus.com).
Of the 26 originals, 19 are gold, representing his 18 professional major wins, plus the one you see here, which reads: Hands are the link to great golf. Mine are not large, but strong and effective. Four signify specific majors: green for the Masters; red, white and blue for the U.S. Open; blue for the British Open; and red and blue for the PGA Championship. The final three originals are the four major handprints together, representing Jack's three career Grand Slams.

Editorial: Rec survey needs our participation
Apathy in Henderson and Vance County appears to have reared its ugly head once more.
Last year, and perhaps even sooner, grant opportunities were under consideration by the Henderson-Vance Parks and Recreation Commission. As the steps moved forward, it became clear grant applications had a better chance of success if part of a master greenway plan.
Henderson and Vance County did not have one.
But we do like recreational outlets, and more than Kerr Lake. We've shown interest in 5K races, cycling events through the countryside and much more.
We've got programs for our youth, some of which have won World Series championships and participated on the high competition levels. The Aycock Recreation Center is a cornerstone, but not everyone realizes the tie to Fox Pond Park. Or the possibilities.
We've enjoyed great things from the Boys & Girls Club and the Henderson Family YMCA, and a master plan could put some links not only with those organizations but also the public, charter and private schools. Remember, the idea is a master plan.
So the commission developed an easy to use survey. They concentrated on users needing little time commitment to complete it, and accessibility. So far, the time spent is horrendously minimal. At last report, 159 people had completed the survey.
If each respondent took 15 minutes to complete it, we've still had less than 40 hours — a standard workweek — invested by an entire county. That might suggest Vance County residents have no desire for recreational opportunities, but we think that would be a mistake.
We know there is good interest in recreational programs. We believe there is interest outside the traditional stick and ball programs, in things such as biking, running and other forms of exercise.
And we believe there is interest in how and where those things will happen, the accessibility factor.
The survey doesn't agree. At least, so far it doesn't.
Today is the scheduled last day to participate. But a community input meeting, first scheduled for this past week and changed to Tuesday, still looms.
We feel confident surveys done between today and Tuesday will be counted. Commission members want to know what the community desires.
It is available at hendersonparks.weebly.com today.
But do get involved. Your input is truly wanted.

Sometimes large questions are buried in obscure pronouncements. So it is with PLR 201313031 which raises the question of what it means to "promote social welfare". The issue was whether the anonymous "ORG" qualified for exemption under 501(c)(4). Just for fun I am going to call ORG "Richistan HOA" in honor of the great book by Robert Frank
An organization is operated exclusively for the promotion of social welfare if it is primarily engaged in promoting in some way the common good and general welfare of the people of the community. An organization embraced within this section is one which is operated primarily for the purpose of bringing about civic betterments and social improvements.
Richistan HOA was focused on taking care of the roads and common areas of a fenced community consisting of 426 homes and a golf course. When Richistan HOA was recognized as a 501(c)(4), Richistan was not a gated community. Apparently the 99% would from time to time wander in and even drive their decrepit vehicles through. Richistan HOA decided to put a stop to that sort of thing. Here is what the examining agent found:
The organization spends an extraordinary amount of time and resources on security, which supports the examining agent's position that the ORG is trying and, very successfully, keeping people out. The security costs incurred in 20XX were $ or % of their expenses, and $ or % in 20XX. They provide and maintain security systems, guards, and gates. According to the December 20XX newsletter, about $ was spent on an upgrade to the security system, specifically the guard's computer, card readers and remote controls. This upgrade includes an alarm to the guard shack when a non-resident enters through the gates on a resident's tail. This is a huge expense to gather such information. They are very serious about keeping people out.
The examining agent accessed the 20XX — 20XX newsletters and board meeting minute notes from the organization's website. They reveal that, on average, *****% of the material discusses security issues. Notably, there is no discussion about outreach to the community. Most of the discussions center on incidents, such as break-ins, speeding reminders, and gate or security vehicle repairs. There are also specifically cited instances where the public was turned away or escorted off the premises. In April 20XX, two young women were at the clubhouse (CO-1 property), offering information about their spa to this exclusive community. They were told to leave. In May 20XX, representatives for a glass company were attempting to make sales at the homes and were "escorted through the south gate." In February 20XX, some young people were trying to make their commissions in this upscale neighborhood by offering discounted or "bundled" cable television services to each home, successfully making some sales. However, it was quickly reported and the representatives were told to leave. The organization is quick to respond to the presence of the public inside their gates and is determined to keep them out.
Actually there are lots of these gated communities and I can see the attraction that they have. You can also mount a social criticism that as people create enclaves of security with private recreational facilities the infrastructure for the 99% might be left to crumble. Regardless of the merits of gated communities apparently the Service does not believe that keeping people out of your space is a community service:
The organization does not promote social welfare. Although the organization claims to be open to the general public, the records show that they place significant barriers with the goal of restricting the general public from accessing the grounds.
The addition of the security gates are a significant change to the organization's operations because they serve to exclude the general public from entering the property. Excluding the public does not conform to the definition of a §501(c)(4) organization. The organization is not operating according to the exempt purpose for which they received exempt status…..
The ORG does not operate for the good of the public. This is not in accordance with a 501(c)(4) organization.

Press Release
Salazar Praises President's Nomination of Rebecca R. Wodder for Assistant Secretary for Fish, Wildlife and Parks
Contact: Kendra Barkoff (202) 208-6416
WASHINGTON – Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar today praised President Obama's intent to nominate Rebecca R. Wodder to be the next Assistant Secretary for Fish, Wildlife and Parks for the Department of the Interior.
"Rebecca's extensive experience and notable accomplishments in natural resource management make her an outstanding choice for this key position on our departmental leadership team," Salazar said. "Her lifelong work to conserve and restore America's lands and waters will be invaluable in carrying out Interior's strategic vision for our wildlife and park conservation programs and initiatives."
If confirmed by the Senate, Wodder would replace Tom Strickland, who returned to the private sector in February, 2011, after serving two years as the Assistant Secretary. Currently, Interior's Principal Deputy Solicitor, Rachel Jacobson, is serving as Acting Assistant Secretary for Fish and Wildlife and Parks.
Since 1995, Wodder has been president and chief executive officer of American Rivers, directing strategic, programmatic and financial operations. During her tenure at American Rivers, Wodder led efforts to help dozens of communities restore the health of their rivers through innovative conservation measures such as the creation of river trails, the removal of obsolete and dangerous dams, and the implementation of green infrastructure solutions to safeguard clean water.
At American Rivers, Wodder led collaborations with federal, state, tribal, and local governments, business and industry, and grassroots groups to achieve consensus solutions to competing interests in rivers and freshwater resources. In 2010, she was recognized as one of the Top 25 Outstanding Conservationists by Outdoor Life Magazine, and was named Woman of the Year by the American Sportfishing Association in 1998.
From 1981 to 1994, Wodder served at The Wilderness Society in several capacities, including as Vice President for Organizational Development, and Vice President for Membership, Marketing and Development.
Prior to joining The Wilderness Society, Wodder was legislative assistant to U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson (Wisconsin) on environmental and energy issues, from 1978-1980, participating in negotiations on water and energy resource development programs and projects, and the Alaska Lands Act.
Wodder began her career as an Environmental Planner for the Leo A. Daly Company, Architects, Engineers and Planners, preparing environmental impact statements and developing environmental components of large-scale engineering projects.
A native Nebraska, Wodder holds a B.A. in Biology and a B.A. in Environmental Studies from the University of Kansas, graduating With Highest Distinction. She also holds an M.S. in Landscape Architecture and an M.S. in Water Resources Management from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

The S&P may have had its best day of the year on Tuesday, but within the world of U.S. stocks, not all sectors are created equal. Some sectors, like technology, have outpaced the market, boasting a near-60% year-over-year return. Due to a dependency on the prices of underlying commodities like iron and coal and gold, meanwhile, sectors like energy have failed to keep up with the S&P's year-over-year 22% return. Yet while some analysts foresee the commodities bear market dragging on for the next decade or more, the prediction should not be reason to despair. Rather, it's good news for natural resource stocks like Range Resources Range Resources, Pioneer Natural Resources Pioneer Natural Resources, and particularly Cabot Oil & Gas Cabot Oil & Gas.
According to T. Rowe Price natural resources analyst Shawn Driscoll, Chinese growth drove the last commodities "supercyle" and led metals and mining to a 15-year boom. However, as Driscoll explains in a recently-published note, the deceleration of that growth (and demand for industrial materials like steel and iron) has led prices of those commodities to fall — as much as 35% from previous peaks, in cases like iron ore.
Couple these price drops with the fact that the U.S. is quickly becoming the world's largest oil producer and leading supply to outpace demand, and Driscoll has come up with a grim forecast: "We're going to be in a commodities bear market for the next 15 years," he says, going on to predict that the price of gasoline at the pump could fall into the mid-$2 range per gallon.
As car-dependent consumers grin about that prediction, investors are likely to grimace. "But it's not the end of the world," Driscoll says. "Commodity bear markets can actually be a good backdrop for some natural resources stocks, but you have to be a stock picker."
The key to picking those stocks is to look for specific energy producers, particularly those that are cracking down on efficiency and are trying to grow their production rates. This is especially important in a bear market, Driscoll says. "The more efficient, low-cost U.S. energy exploration and production companies — such as Cabot Oil & Gas, Range Resources and Pioneer Natural Resources — are of interest," he writes.
Driscoll isn't the only one who likes some of those names. A new report from UBS analyst Betty Jiang supports the case for buying Cabot: on Thursday, Jiang rated Cabot as a buy and slapped it with a $42 price target; the stock currently trades for closer to $35 per share.
"We believe Cabot's recent underperformance on the back of differential concerns offers an attractive buying opportunity for one of the highest quality E&Ps with sector leading debt-adjusted growth," Jiang wrote, adding that the company is also "on the cusp of generating meaningful free cash flow and will be increasing cash return to shareholders."
Oil producers aren't the only ones who deserve investor attention in the midst of a commodities bear market; according to Driscoll, Valero Energy and Phillips 66 are good names, too.
"Because of the U.S. oil glut, they're able to buy oil at a discount, create such oil-based products as jet fuel, and sell it at higher global prices abroad," he says.
Stock market activity over the both the short and longer term indicates that Driscoll's picks are good ones. Cabot Oil & Gas closed Thursday trading with a 1.24% gain, it finished 2013 with a 57.5% year-to-date return and since March of 2012 has seen its price more than double. Range Resources finished Thursday trading with a 1% gain, is up 4.6% after the first two full months of 2014 and in 2013, it finished with a 35.9% return. Pioneer Natural Resources finished with a modest 0.28% decline Thursday afternoon but has had an otherwise terrific 2014 thus far, boasting a 15.9% year-to-date gain that puts it on track to match its 67.7% return in 2013.
Valero is also in the midst of a good streak: after presenting at the Bank of America Merrill Lynch refining conference call on Wednesday, the stock closed with a 5.17% gain on Thursday and is up 15% year-over-year. In 2013, Valero finished the year with a 55% return. And Driscoll's fifth pick, Phillips 66, finished Thursday trading with a 1.7% gain; year-over-year the stock is up 16%.

Direct Media Interface
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2014)
In computing, Direct Media Interface (DMI) is Intel's proprietary link between the northbridge and southbridge on a computer motherboard. It was first used between the 9xx chipsets and the ICH6, released in 2004. Previous Intel chipsets had used the Hub Interface to perform the same function, and server chipsets use a similar interface called Enterprise Southbridge Interface (ESI).[1] While the "DMI" name dates back to ICH6, Intel mandates specific combinations of compatible devices, so the presence of a DMI interface does not guarantee by itself that a particular northbridge–southbridge combination is allowed.
DMI shares many characteristics with PCI Express, using multiple lanes and differential signaling to form a point-to-point link. Most implementations use a ×4 link, while some mobile systems (e.g. 915GMS, 945GMS/GSE/GU and the Atom N450) use a ×2 link, halving the bandwidth. The original implementation provides 10 Gbit/s in each direction using a ×4 link.
DMI 2.0, introduced in 2011, doubles the transfer rate to 20 Gbit/s with a ×4 link. It is used to link an Intel CPU with the Intel Platform Controller Hub (PCH), which supersedes the historic northbridge/southbridge implementation.[2]:14
DMI 3.0, promising speeds of up to 8 GT/s, will be used by two-chip variants of the upcoming Intel Skylake microprocessors, which will be used in conjunction with Intel 100 Series chipsets; some variants of Skylake will have the PCH integrated into the die, effectively following the system on a chip (SoC) design layout.[3] On 9 March 2015, Intel announced the Broadwell-based Xeon D as its first platform to fully incorporate the PCH in an SoC configuration.[4]
The following northbridge devices support a northbridge DMI:

Copper Sun
Set in the 18th century, Copper Sun tells the story of two protagonists, Amari and Polly. Amari is a fifteen-year-old Ashanti girl living in her village happily awaiting her marriage to Besa. Life is good in their village until one day slave traders invade the village killing much of Amari's tribe. The survivors are shackled and taken to Cape Coast where they are branded and forced into a slave boat which is headed to the Carolinas. Once there, Amari is sold to a plantation owner and given to his son Clay as his sixteenth birthday present.
It is on the plantation that Amari meets Polly, an indentured servant. The girls become involved in a horrible act of cruelty which affords them the opportunity to flee the Carolina plantation and head toward Florida where they dream of being free.
This book is dedicated to Draper's grandfather and grandmother, Estelle. In Draper's research of Copper Sun, she actually traveled to the slave castles in Ghana several years ago. Copper Sun is not an easy book to read—many of the passages are heart wrenching and emotionally draining. Yet Copper Sun is a story that must be told. Draper has written a truly moving story—a page turner indeed! Sharon Draper's Copper Sun is the winner of the 2007 Coretta Scott King Award.
