I am quite critical when it comes to football boots as they a are very important part of my life as I am studying sports at college so they get well and truly tested. I can say they are the best boots I:ve had for comfort durability and water resistance excellent. ... read more
I own a pair of Primeknit 2.0s alongside these and the knit upper truly makes the difference in terms of keeping comfort while maintaining a feel for the ball and staying lightweight. The difference between these and the 2.0s is that while the 2.0s seemed closer to the adizero, these definitely seemed specifically designed for the central midfielder. The studs, fit, and texture all help in improving the touch on the ball and the "feel" behind passes or shots. Top level athlete impressed by another top flight boot by Adidas. ... read more
I PLAY WIDE RECIEVER, AND THESE CLEATS ARE GREAT, GREAT TRACTION TO MAKE QUICK CUTS AND CHANGE DIRECTION EASILY. HOW EVER AFTER READING ALL OF THESE REVIEWS ON THE CLEAT PULLING OFF, I NOTICED ON MY PAIR AND A TEAMMATES PAIR THAT THE CLEAT IN FACT IS PULLING AWAY FROM THE CLEAT. IF YOU CAN DEAL WITH THAT IT'S A PRETTY GOOD CLEAT, MIND YOU IVE ONLY USED THEM THREE TIMES THIS SEASON. ... read more
Very comfortable shoe with a reasonable weight so striking ball over distance is easy. The soft leather forefoot makes for a good first touch and helps with measuring weight when spraying passes from the centre of the field. Due to the wide fit and K-leather toe-box the shoe requires no break in time. ... read more
Boots will require a bit of wearing in. I have wide feet(2E) and they molded to my feet after a few wears. Very light for a k leather boot. When choosing a size it is slightly smaller than normal. I normally wear US9 with a bit of room at the front. i bought US8.5 in the boot and its just right (might be tight for some) ... read more
These football shoes are possibly the best alongside the classic Adidas world cup boots! The comfort is unbelievable, they don't even require a breaking time! You put them on, you are ready to play and "cause chaos". I will certainly recommend those boots to all my football friends! ... read more
There name sums these boots up in one word ACE! There the best boots I've ever worn the leather gives these boots a traditional feel to the ball but with all the lightweight qualities of a modern boot! ... read more
I've worn these shoes for close to a month. I love the touch of the new upper surface and the extra studs on the bottom of the soles. However the heel is very unconformable to me and leaves me with the most painful blisters on both of my ankles. The shoes were ever so slightly not long enough for my foot and I lost a half of toe nail on my right foot due to the fit. I had to send them back. I look forward to the next design. ... read more
Really great boot fits well in the foot and fits amazingly. Really confortable and light. Perfect for the modern striker and central attacking midfielders. You almost dont even feel them because of how comfortable the are. ... read more
I have the Miadidas version but fits just the same. When I first wore these, I thought I was putting on old predators again and I've been a Predator fan since I was a kid. The feeling is similar, but much improved. The touch and feel of the ball is great!! Had no problem breaking them in and wore them for an entire match with no rips or any of the sort. The sole is fantastic! You can definitely feel the difference between firm and artificial turf which is great! Above all an amazing cleat!! Great job Adidas!! ... read more
I have always worn predators and was disheartened when adidas discontinued the range. I was reluctant to buy the ace at first but i am so glad that I did. They aces are a lot more lightweight than the predator but the control and feel of the boot is not compromised. I would highly recommend this boot and they fit true to size. An added bonus was the fantastic service provided by adidas as the boots were delivered quickly upon purchase. A great purchase for any footballer at any level. ... read more
Wore the boot for the first time today and its extremely comfortable. The cushioning inside makes the difference on hard surfaces, sleek design, looks good. Had them personalized and it looks really good, overall a very good football boot. ... read more
In a footballing market where us with wide feet are severely overlooked, the Ace 15.1 is very welcomed, with a nice fit, and a nice light touch on the ball. The reason for not getting a full 5 star, is the sole plate takes a while to losen as well as a lot of heel slippage at the start! Overall much better than the X 15.1! ... read more
I've been playing soccer for over 20 years and I had worn several shoes in the past, and this are probably the best shoes I have ever worn, They fit true to size. Although they are comfortable out of the box, I recommend to break them in before you take them into a serious game. The shoes fit snug and comfortable, they feel very responsive, solid, stable and protective, the touch on the ball is amazing, perfect for controling, dribbling, passing and shooting, the outsole is incredible, provides an excellent traction in FG and AG and a decent traction in HG and SG. The only thing that I didn't like about the shoes were the insoles, they are thin so dont provide good cushioning and they are slippery on your socks. No matter what position you play or what is your style of playing, these well rounded shoes will make you feel confident during 90 min. Adidas Ace Leather are the way to go. ... read more
i bought a pair hoping that they would be better than the F50 15.1 . They were much better the material was thin and much easier to break in, it was not a thick and overall better ball touches and not as tight on my toes even with there being no space in the front to slide my foot around. The only drawback is that the tech fit collar needs to be higher up the ankle you don't really feel it as much lower down. The new stud pattern is great making quick turns at high speed is easy along with being able to stop on a dime. This is an amazing cleat and needs to just have some more color options. ... read more
I love it, it's light weight, and makes me move faster. I love everything about it, But the tongue tend to shift whilst I'm playing and I have to adjust it which distracts a little bit, and annoys me sometimes, other than that, I love them. ... read more
I was upgrading from some copas, so I decided to try these out. They fit a half size bigger than the copas - I have wider feet. The first day I used them my arch was sore. But the next few uses that was all done with. They're really comfortable and they fit really snug. They're nice and light and I can feel the ball really well with them. And the color is popping as well. Definitely the best boots I've ever bought and I'd buy them again in the future. ... read more
I've had this Cleat for just over a month and love them. I little more expensive than I would like but I would make the purchase again and again... The amount of control and spin you can put on the ball is revolutionary. Adidas only has one problem now and that is they have to try and top this Cleat with something new!!!! ... read more
this boot is very good but it is a bit too narrow and it takes a bit of time to get use to but after u get use to it it is fantastic u really get to move around more and be more free and play ur football 5 out 5 raitings for this shoe if u make it a bit wider but for now 4 ... read more
..I was disappointed to find after I paid an additional £10 to have my initials on the side of the boot. I half expected for them to be stitched into the boot but they seem to be just be small vinyl stickers and after 1 wear started to peel off. ... read more
Hi Baz, same here couldn`t reply so new review! Many thanks for your comment...... my son will try his boots out today! got him 8.5 instead of size 8. Managed to get 15% off as i filled in form on line so am happy about that! will let u kno soon how he gets on with them, cheers mate! ... read more
Very comfy football boots when I normally buy boots they rub underneath and give me blisters under neath my foot not with these. Great quality up to now can't complain and main part is they are VERY comfy! Would recommend to anyone :)! ... read more
I love this boot from adidas by far the best boot from them realy comfortable. The Techfit collar is amazing,it moves with your ankle real smooth no break in times needed. What I would really like from the next ones is metal studs that can be removed I would love this aspect on the x16.1 I love metal studs and I would really love if you look into this and put removable metal studs on the 16.1 other then that great job adidas ... read more
I decided to buy the ACE cleats basically because I found the design was looking good, after I review the material composition (by the way Adidas need to be more specific about specs, I had to call in to find about the kind of leather). I order 10.5 but they were too tight so I call in and the only option was return and order again (no exchange), So I did that but I wait for the # 11 so I can try them again and compare, yes the 11 was the right size. never bought a shoes online for teh same reason, you must try them on, so far return is on the way and I hope I will not experience issues with that... The Cleats feel awesome, I can't wait to be on the field.. ... read more
I was hesitant to purchase a pair of X15.1's right away based solely upon looks but decided to give in after trying on a pair of X15.2's on and loving the tech fit bootie. Prior to the 'revolution' I wore F50's and Predators in 9.5 which fit perfectly. In the X, a 9.5 felt great around the heel but was crushing the lateral side of the toe-box. I could not step without my big toe feeling like it was going to fall off my foot. With use this uncomfortableness never faded. Luckily the retailer I purchased from traded me my 9.5 for a 10. The 10 fit better in the interior toe area but left too much space at the end of the laces above the toes and slipped horrendously at the heel. I guess the X is not for me. ... read more

I'm having problems with my son's PC. He kept gettin virtual memory errors in a game and the game would shut down. I went into system>>and changed the visuals to max performance (instead of let computer choose). That's the only thing I did. We tried to run defrag, but it said dskchck was scheduled to run (and it wasn't) so it wouldn't defrag.
Now - After rebooting after I did that, the computer starts up and then goes to a grey screen before it loads the OS. I've tried every option in the F8 and none of them work, they all still go to a grey screen and nothing else happens, no matter what I try. I've tried booting from a restore CD and still nothing but a grey screen. It won't even recognize the restore Cd. Is the harddrive blown? It's like there is no OS on it at all. Please help!!
Harddrive manufacturers have software for download for testing HDD.
Memory(RAM), test program for downloading:
...both of which are of limited value if Healersmoon is unable to boot the OS...
...I'd say it's likely to be the display settings. After all, that's what you changed. It's trying to pump out graphics faster then the machine can handle.
I'd be trying to get the PC to automatically tone down its graphics by booting in safe mode.
That loads only the most basic drivers the OS needs in order to boot.
Then you can adjust the resolution, colour settings and refresh rate to basic settings and then reboot normally.
Otherwise it's likely to come down to alternate display adapters and so forth which can rather involved.
"both of which are of limited value if Healersmoon is unable to boot the OS..."
Heh - don't suppose you've ever used them then
Typically those kinds of diagnostic programs are self contained, and boot from a floppy or CD
If the system is unable to boot from any kind of boot device, then there's not much hope of repair - possibly a motherboard issue, but the recommended practice is to disconnect everything but the bare minimum, see if the machine can be started and then start reconnecting components (or running tests)

Research and Markets: Bangladesh – Internet Market
Bangladesh is to Digital Bangladesh .Internet interactivity and infrastructure is important?? .
The Internet came late to Bangladesh with connectivity in 1996. In the last few years it has grown dramatically, although obviously from a very low base. With an estimated Internet user base of more than 700,000 by end-2009, representing only a 0.4% user penetration, the local Internet industry has been preparing to move into the next stage of its development. As this report demonstrates, however, the country must work hard to overcome obstacles associated with the countrys lowly economic status and still developing infrastructure, not least of which being an indifferent, bureaucratic government. The report also looks briefly at very early signs of broadband Internet in Bangladesh and its first moves into WiMAX services.

Ceridian-UCLA Pulse of Commerce Index is up slightly in February
March 13, 2012
The February edition of the Ceridian-UCLA Pulse of Commerce Index (PCI) was up for the fourth time in the last five months.
The PCI, according to Ceridian and UCLA, is based on an analysis of real-time diesel fuel consumption data from over-the-road trucking and is tracked by Ceridian, a provider of electronic and stored value card payment services. The PCI data is accumulated by analyzing Ceridian's electronic card payment data that captures the location and volume of diesel fuel being purchased by trucking companies. It is based on real-time diesel fuel purchases using a Ceridian card by over the road truckers at more than 7,000 locations across the United States.
The February PCI was up 0.7 percent, but the report's authors said that was not enough to offset the 1.7 percent decline in January. The PCI was up 0.4 percent in December and up 0.1 percent and 1.1 percent in November and October, respectively. The PCI has been up in six of the last 12 months, and the three-month period from December to January is below the previous three months from September to November by an annualized rate of 3.2 percent.
On an annual basis, the PCI is down 0.2 percent compared to February 2011, and the report noted that annual growth has basically been slightly above zero—or flat—since May 2011. December and January's annual comparisons were -0.8 percent and -2.2 percent, respectively.
The report's authors noted last month that while the PCI appears to have stalled out when compared to other economic metrics showing growth such as industrial production and real retail sales, its annual changes, however, make it look more accurate.
"The continuing weakness of the PCI is signaling that, perhaps, the recovery in home building has not yet taken hold. The recent improvement in building permits and housing starts may get building going again and therefore, trucking as well, as it has been said that it takes 17 truckloads to build a home. If we get the saws and hammers going again, we will have a real recovery with much healthier job growth," said Ed Leamer, chief economist for the Ceridian-UCLA Pulse of Commerce Index and Director of the UCLA Anderson Forecast, in a statement.
In a recent interview with LM, Leamer explained there have been a divergence several economic indexes
"Industrial production, retail sales are showing improvements and the labor market is healing substantially, which is making most people optimistic about 2012 compared to 2011," he said.
But when looking at trucking, Leamer said it could still be too early to tell if 2012 will be an improvement, as it was initially thought that the divergence would be resolved by weaker industrial production or retail sales or by strengthening in trucking.

U.S. U-18 Men's National Team Home Page
MADISON, Wis. -- First-year head coach John Trask has stepped away from the final week of his Wisconsin men's soccer squad's spring season to serve as an assistant coach for the U.S. Under-18 Men's National Team.Trask has joined the staff of head coach Mike Matkovich this week, as the U-18 Men's National Team takes part in a week-long training camp at The Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif. "Any time you can be involved with the U.S. National Team it's a great opportunity," Trask said. "Spending a week with the top players in the country is a very enjoyable and rewarding situation for any coach."Matkovich, Trask and the rest of the national team staff will guide the 24-player roster through two daily training sessions, as well as matches against local club teams.For Trask, the week offers not only a great personal opportunity, but also the reward of contributing to the success of the U.S. national team at the U-18 level and into the future."Matko and I have known each other for a long time, and it's always a good experience to work with him in the development of our national team players," Trask said.Trask and Matkovich most recently worked together on the staff of the U-18 Men's National Team in 2009, when they helped guide the U.S. squad to a fifth-place finish in the prestigious Milk Cup in Northern Ireland.Like Trask, Matkovich has experience as a Major League Soccer assistant coach. He currently serves as an assistant for the Chicago Fire and has previously worked with MLS clubs Toronto FC and Chivas USA. Trask coached on the staff of three MLS clubs from 2000-2004. "It is always nice to have John involved with the U-18's," Matkovich said of Trask. "His background in MLS allows him to help in the development and identification of the top players in the country and what is needed to make it at the highest levels. "JT was involved in two international trips last year, as well as our mega-camp, and I'm looking forward to having him work with the U-18's again this year."This year's U-18 Men's National Team camp roster includes 17 players from the U.S. Soccer Development Academy, as well as six who were part of the U.S. Soccer U-17 Men's National Team Residency Program in 2009.The training camp opened Sunday and runs through Sunday, May 2.

I'm Pradeep, a sophomore at USC. It was quite a trek to attend here from my hometown, having been born and raised in Irvine, California (45 minutes from campus). I am majoring in Biological Sciences and Economics, with a goal to become an interventional cardiologist involved in medical administration.
I'm a student coordinator for Peer Health Exchange, an organization that teaches health to high school students in LA; I love to play (and win) intramural sports with my friends; and I was a Freshman Science Honors student last year.
USC Dornsife as already begun shaping my life goals and aspirations. I came into USC as a die-hard pre-med student, who was quickly diverted to add an Econ major. Though I am still pre-med, Dornsife has allowed me to explore my interests and find a subject that I am passionate about and would like to corporate in my future career.
My favorite thing that I have done at USC is the Problems without Passports program I participated in last summer. I took a class in tropical medicine in Oxford University! I met some amazing USC students while being taught applied biology by some of the most renowned tropical medicine researchers in the world. PWP provided me with an invaluable learning experience as well as life-long friends and memories.
I can't wait to see what else USC and LA have in store for me over the course of the next couple years.

BOSTON, MA -- Learning, memory and habits are encoded in the strength of connections between neurons in the brain, the synapses. These connections aren't meant to be fixed, they're changeable, or plastic.
Duke University neurologist and neuroscientist Nicole Calakos studies what happens when those connections aren't as adaptable as they should be in the basal ganglia, the brain's "command center" for turning information into actions.
"The basal ganglia is the part of the brain that drives the car when you're not thinking too hard about it," Calakos said. It's also the part of the brain where neuroscientists are looking for the roots of obsessive-compulsive disorder, Huntington's, Parkinson's, and aspects of autism spectrum disorders.
In her most recent work, which she'll discuss Saturday morning, Feb. 16 at the American Association for the Advancement of Science annual meeting in Boston, Calakos is mapping the defects in circuitry of the basal ganglia that underlie compulsive behavior. She is studying mice that have a synaptic defect that manifests itself as something like obsessive-compulsive behavior.
Calakos' former colleague Guoping Feng developed the mice at Duke before moving to the McGovern Institute for Brain Research at MIT, where he now works. Feng was exploring the construction of synapses by knocking out genes one at a time. One set of mice ended up with facial lesions from endlessly grooming themselves until their faces were rubbed raw. When examining synaptic activity in the basal ganglia of these mice, Calakos' group discovered that metabotropic glutamate receptors, or mGluRs, were overactive and this in turn, left their synapses less able to change. Scientists think overactivity of these receptors can cause many aspects of the autistic spectrum disorder Fragile X mental retardation.
"It's an example of synaptic plasticity going awry," Calakos said. "They're stuck with less adaptable synapses." Calakos

Disneyland Visitors Stranded After Monorail's Wheel Falls Off
February 19, 2013 9:36 AM
Photo Galleries
ANAHEIM (AP) — The monorail at Disneyland was temporarily shut down after a wheel fell off and some smoke appeared.
The Orange County Register reports the incident occurred about 10:20 a.m. Monday when a wheel fell off of one car. Park officials closed the ride for a couple of hours as the troubled car dropped off passengers and then was taken to a repair shop.
There were no reports of any injuries.
A second train was stranded on the track and passengers had to wait about 45 minutes until the train was towed to a station.

Scottish rugby crying out for Edinburgh to challenge Glasgow
What will happen to Scotland's two professional teams this year? I'm interested in your opinions here, so add them later and we shall discuss.
Scottish derby performances have become as predictable as the very moment Westlife stand up at the key change and each contest has come complete with a display of ritual humiliation.
The tough boys from the west have either travelled the M8 or welcomed their visitors from the posh side of the country and then bullied them into submission.
It's been great for Glasgow and has led to a cocky swagger, but I don't think it's been for the greater good of Scottish rugby as any chain is only as good as its weakest link and Edinburgh's cogs have been as if cast in butter. Not acceptable.
And do you know what? I'd like Edinburgh to make it much, much more competitive this year.
Frankly, I hope Edinburgh start beating Glasgow.
What makes Glasgow tick? Sean Lineen assembled a good squad of players, Gregor Townsend brought in the find of the century in Niko Matawalu and went about his game planning with intelligence, Stuart Yuille is the master fitness trainer, and there is a tough bunch of players with their foundation a scrummaging pack that likes to mix it around the pitch.
Glasgow's European opponents are Exeter, Cardiff and Toulon and that's an easier group than Edinburgh's as we shall see later.
Edinburgh's weakness has been at scrum time, a general air of inferiority and an almost weekly change of game plan until Michael Bradley departed.
But it's pretty obvious that money has not been an issue at Murrayfield when it came to strengthening Edinburgh. Their new coach, Alan Solomons , won't have come cheap, he brought with him a handy collision and defence expert in Omar Mouneimne and there are signings aplenty.
Beating Newcastle 15-5 in a pre-season friendly will have helped and, in David Denton, Nick de Luca, Matt Scott and Stuart McInally, there is a group of players who can mix it with anybody. Munster, Perpignan and Gloucester are the opponents in Europe and I hope they can give a few teams a fright.
Could this be the year that Edinburgh become more of a threat? I hope so. The team has lacked "bite" in recent seasons. Scotstoun gives Glasgow an advantage as there is now a home ground and a training venue in the same place and it's a cosy little venue.
Edinburgh having to play at Murrayfield is a handicap. There is no way on earth you can make that place feel like home unless it's half full - as it was for their famous win over Toulouse.
The next stage has to be either a temporary stadium on the all-weather pitch at the back or a smaller ground upgraded for European rugby elsewhere in the capital.
So there you are. Two good sets of coaches, two good sets of players and the worst thing that could happen is for Glasgow to dominate again.
The key to Scottish success on the bigger stage is how Edinburgh perform. At times last year, they were, frankly, embarrassing.
I think Glasgow will remain the dominant force though. I hate predictability. It's boring.
I hope Edinburgh stuff them sometime soon. To make it interesting. What do you think?

Glos1974 re P12 rubbish argument here we go.totally disagree. when P12 teams do play AP sides in HC, Pre season or AW comp, more often than not P12 teams win. If you actually followed P12 last year particularly towards the end of season was very competitive at top of league.personally prefer watching P12 to AP games,also has the national rivalries too.
on dif note, why did edinb sign n.walker...
Comment number 65. Posted by Erchieon 5 Sept 2013 16:55
Think glasgow really are serious threat to anyside now.they have made some great signings over last year and have strength in depth.to almost beat strong harlequins side with second string team away and then beating exeter is encouraging altho only pre season gms.pressure on them now so will be challenge.
cant forget this Edin team made HC semis not long ago,potential is there,need to toughen up
Comment number 64. Posted by Philipon 5 Sept 2013 13:59
"he brought with him a handy collision and defence expert in Omar Mouneimne" In my day it was a "tackle". I think that Edinburgh will make a slow start as they get used to their new coach and his ways. If it works then we might see Edinburgh making progress in the 2nd half of the season. Season 2014/15 is the one where the breakthrough has to be made, where Edinburgh finally arrive as contenders.
Comment number 63. Posted by No9on 5 Sept 2013 13:38
@57 i wouldn't say edinburgh had a good season 2 years ago, they did well in the HK but if i remember correctly they were at the bottom of the league table.
Comment number 62. Posted by Midas_childon 5 Sept 2013 12:15
Glasgow currently have a decent squad with depth at most positions, whilst not exactly an overpowering team they are one that has the potential to give anyone a scare. They've been there or thereabouts for the last 2-3 seasons but still haven't been able to take next step up. They should aim for top 3 in the league and decent HC showing. Edinburgh I'm hoping top 6 and a couple of HC wins
Comment number 61. Posted by Obsenon 5 Sept 2013 12:07
@60 Fair point, but as you note, Exeter is one of Glasgow's pool teams in the HC, so bodes well. I'm not stating that Glasgow are the best, far from it, but they have decent set of players, and can build on that.
Comment number 60. Posted by beshockedon 5 Sept 2013 11:21
56. Results in the warm ups don't matter. Surely you would rather win a match vs Exeter in the HC?
The Pro12 clubs did poorly in the HC. That is what I was referring to. Certainly in comparison to the French and English clubs.
Glasgow have a lot to prove. Edinburgh have the advantage of low expectations in comparison. Glasgow aren't as good as made out nor are Edinburgh as poor.
Comment number 59. Posted by Venachar01on 5 Sept 2013 11:13
Edscot so what about people north of the Forth who are currently supporters. The friendly down in Hawick was a meaningless part of the season ticket offer as there was no way I could get from work down to Hawick in time. Edinburgh Rugby are from Edinburgh and they should play there. Games are set to kick off at 7:45 this season which should be ample to get your butt from Caledonia or Borders.
Comment number 58. Posted by Madmacon 5 Sept 2013 11:13
I can't understand why the SRU don't invest in London Scottish. They're already set up and fully pro and have committed to having at least half the squad as Scottish qualified (Jim Thompson, Lewis Calder, Lee Miller etc). It would cost far less to give them a financial boost that would push them into the Aviva than it would to fund a new team. Then we'd have our long awaited 3rd team!
Comment number 57. Posted by Madmacon 5 Sept 2013 10:46
John I think we need to a wee bit cautious before we herald Glasgow as the new powerhouse of Scottish rugby. This time last year we were saying that about Edinburgh following their amazing cup run. I desperately want both teams to do well but Edinburgh had one good year, then Glasgow did.

An Analysis of Blogging, at Least for Me
The trouble with having more than one blog going is that you tend to just keep updating your favorite one and ignoring the rest of them. At least that's what I've been doing.
I have two blogs at WordPress, one of which is called "From the Hawthorne Tree", that I started years ago but it never got going. I only have four entries in that blog. Today I put #4 in and it is linked here in this paragraph.
The trouble is that I don't enjoying working at WordPress. They got way too complicated for me, and blogging there becomes a real labor-intensive experience and not so much fun. I like easy simple things, and although I do not mean that JournalScape is "simple" in a derogatory way - it is easy to use so it is here I am staying. I just wanted to add a blog entry at WP to update my Hawthorne site... as that is the subject of my morning's internet study today.
I like to share stuff I find with you. That was the point of my "Shout-Out Sunday" entries, but the self-imposed constraint of having to come up with an interesting site every single Sunday morning went against my concurrent urge to be free of such constraints in my retirement years!
I lived my whole life working and doing things for others mostly. There were, of course, times of fun for me, as well, and for my loved ones, but for the most part, years and years went by and all I can remember doing is slogging off to work at 8 each morning and coming home to cook dinner at 6 each night and being totally exhausted all the rest of the waking hours of the days.
When I was lucky enough to get a job doing medical transcription from home, I thought I would have lots more free time but that didn't happen. It seemed I was always typing-typing-typing, in the early mornings, in the afternoons, and in the evenings, just to get my workload done on time. Oh yes, there were times of a lull now and then, but not a lot. When I retired a couple of years ago, the freedom I felt was overwhelming and delicious, and I've been enjoying it ever since.
The internet has added significantly to my enjoyment of this freedom. I am very curious by nature. VERY curious. I drive Paul crazy a lot of times with my questions about everything - like a little kid wanting to know "why" everything happens... like when I first started watching baseball. Paul had been a baseball fan all his life - I never had. I asked a bazillion questions of him and he answered as best he could or wanted to, and now he just ignores my questions because he's just sick of it!
Life has changed for us here. We no longer go on any vacations. Specifically, our mutual love of England & Scotland has been impacted by no more trips abroad mainly due to my lack of mobility. My fault. But I've found a little respite in the internet, and it's here I am most happy - learning things I've always wondered about, millions of things, places, people, events, thoughts and ideas. It's all in there. Or "out there." Wherever "there" is!
So now I've written all this above and never really got to the crux of why I started this entry. I wanted to share with you some stuff I've found, but I've been typing so long now that I need to stop - I want to take a break. Maybe I'll do it next time... get more into what it was I was going to share.
Cheers for now, til next time,

Living alkene polymerization.
In: Abstracts of Papers, 224th ACS National Meeting, Boston, MA, United States, August 18-22, 2002
Konstanz,Germany.: Department of Chemistry,University of Konstanz (2002), PMSE-083
Buchaufsatz / Kapitel / Fach: Chemie
Here we present the development of a new class of polymn. catalysts, that combine the advantages of stereocontrolled and living polymn. of styrene. Stereocontrolled anionic (living) polymn. of styrene not only enables control over mol. wt. distributions of polymers with high tacticity, but also allows the synthesis of new hitherto unknown materials (i.e. block copolymers based on highly cryst. polystyrene). Our novel polymn. initiators are based on the heavier maingroup II metals (Ca, Sr and Ba) and are isolobal to the Group IV catalysts used in the com. prodn. of syndiotactic polystyrene. Stereocontrol during the polymn. is obtained via a chain-end control mechanism. Not only the stereospecific coordination of the styrene monomer to the metal but esp. the configurational stability of the chiral carbanionic chain-end is of utmost importance for stereocontrolled living polymn. of styrene.

You will have to make do with the instruction count timeout. There is no support for actual time-based timeouts. In my experience the instruction count timeout has been perfectly fine for this purpose. When you are pumping the scheduler, the theory is that tasklets spend most of their time outside of the scheduler blocked on channels. So the scheduler is expected to never block for very long, time-wise or instruction count-wise. Just decide on a low enough instruction count and you should be fine, a bit of experimentation should determine a suitable value. In practice, I've never seen our infinite loop detection kick in. I know it definitely works, but infinite loops never happen in practice. Cheers, Richard.

This '80s Version Of The 'Game Of Thrones' Theme Is, Like, Totally Tubular
June 26, 2014 10:40 AM
With Game of Thrones Season 4 done and over with, we're grasping for anything to keep us occupied for the next 10 MONTHS. Thanks to the old and new gods for supercuts like this.
Let's also thank Russia musician Steve Duzz. The Moscow native created a sweet 1980s remix of the Game of Thrones theme song that will make you hop up off of your Iron Throne and tickle that keytar. You can download the track on Soundcloud. And that awesome artwork of a white walker that's too kewl for skewl was created by Tokyo-based graphic designer Mike Wrobel. You can check out more of his sweet work here.

The search continues today for a man from Alabama last seen in Pike County two weeks ago. Crews say they still have very little information about what might have happened to 19-year-old Matthew Dobbs.
Rescue crews say they don't know why Matthew Dobbs disappeared two weeks ago. But officials say family members last saw him walking near a Super 8 Motel in Pikeville.
"Family members, some thought he could have fallen in the river or whatever, but the possibility exists that maybe he caught a ride and went elsewhere," said Pike County Emergency Management Director Doug Tackett.
But with little information to go on, search teams keep looking around the Levisa Fork of the Big Sandy river.
"When we started the search a couple of weeks ago, the river was up around 13 1/2 feet. Now it's gone down to 8 1/2 feet, so we're coming back to check the river since it's gone down," Tackett said.
Officials say Dobbs and his family stopped at the Super 8 Motel to rest while traveling to Virginia. But search crews say they don't know if foul play is involved, and they don't think his body is at the motel. Some search dogs have shown interest around the riverbanks, and Tackett said that so far, they have no where else to look in the investigation.
"Make sure we cover everything we possibly can to make sure he's not anywhere here, and after that look at law enforcement to tell us anything we don't already know," said Tackett
So until they get new information, search teams say they are determined to rule out the possibility that Matthew Dobbs is still here.
Dobb's father, David Dobbs was arrested the night Matthew went missing for charges unrelated to Matthew's disappearance. Officials say Matthew Dobbs is still considered a missing person at this time.

Veterans assembly.
A Veterans Day assembly will begin at 9 a.m. at Madison Middle School, featuring choir, band and orchestra performances.
Veterans program
A program honoring veterans will begin at 9 a.m. in the Anson ISD auditorium. A reception will follow. Veterans and family members are invited. Information: 325-823-3361.
Veterans assembly
A Veterans Day assembly and luncheon will begin at 11 a.m. in the Baird High School auditorium. Veterans, active duty military and their families are invited to gather at 10:50 a.m. A Thanksgiving luncheon will follow.
Veterans recognized
A patriotic display and recognition of veterans will be presented during the Abilene High School football game at 7:30 p.m. at Shotwell Stadium.
Marion Conner Sr. still proudly wears a veteran's cap, a reminder of his service during World War II.
His slight frame suggests that at age 92 he still could fit into the Army uniform he wore as a sergeant in the 4210th Quartermaster Supply Company, which saw duty in the South Pacific.
On Saturday, Penns will personally drive Conner in the Veterans Day parade through downtown Abilene. No doubt, Conner will be waving and smiling like he always does.
Far from being bitter about the status of black soldiers during the war, Conner is jovial, cracking jokes at every opportunity.
He recalled that the 4210th was an all-black company. The men fought alongside the white soldiers but had segregated quarters.
"We were all by ourselves," Conner said, adding that the black soldiers had little time to analyze their unequal treatment. "Most of the time we didn't have time to think."
After the war, life was not much different. A book housed in the Taylor County Historical Commission archives contains pictures of all the Taylor County World War II veterans.
Fitting of the time that it was published, the book segregated the black and white veterans. The black veterans are relegated to the back of the book with a divider page that refers to the "negro" soldiers from Taylor County.
Penns, pastor of Valley View Baptist Church, is on a mission of sorts to make sure the black Taylor County veterans get their due. He had pages from the veterans book blown up to poster size and placed them on display at the ICAN (Interested Citizens of Abilene North) office at 701 Mesquite St.
And, he is in the process of featuring the black veterans in issues of the West Texas Tribune, a local newspaper which focuses on the black community.
The man he will personally escort in Saturday's parade earned a number of medals for his service, including the Good Conduct Medal and several Victory Ribbons. Conner is much like other World War II veterans when it comes to sharing war stories.
"He never talked much about his service," said a son, Bobby Conner, who lives in Abilene.
After the war, Marion Conner returned to Abilene and worked for Texas Steel for 20 years. He is the father of 11 children and has a number of grandchildren, including Elizabeth Morris-Brown, a funeral director with Elliott-Hamil Funeral Home.
Conner said he was treated well by fellow Abilenians when he came home. Even though he was segregated from white soldiers he fought alongside, Conner holds no ill feelings.
"I was proud of what I did," he said.
