Fully Integrated Bicycles
Non-Motorized Mobility: city bikes are practical, convenient and stylish (Photo: ubrayj02 on flickr)
City bikes include several types and styles of bike that are suitable for everyday urban cycling, getting you from a to b while providing a high level of comfort, safety and convenience. Bicycle riders in cities around the world are increasingly choosing style over speed and simplicity over hi-tech. The classic English roadster and it's sibling, the Dutch bike, the shopper bike which first made a splash in the late 1960s / early 1970s as well as comfort-, hybrid-/trekking-, road- and touring bikes are all described below.
A city bike should include as many of safey and comfort features that cycling in the city calls for, namely, lights and reflectors for visibility, a chainguard and fenders to keep your cloths clean and a luggage rack and/or basket to carry loads to work and back, to go shopping or run errands. A city bike is ideal for commuting in business attire or street cloths and is sometimes called an urban bike or commuter bike.
Many new city bikes can be purchased with a luggage rack usually included as as standard equipment. Retro-styled city bikes have been making a comeback. For additional carrying convenience, a porteur rack which can be attached to the front of most bicycles. You'll find other cargo transport options on the load carrying page in the safety and comfort section.
Roadsters & Dutch Bikes
Town & Country: the durable English roadster is a classic, integrated design (Photo: the manufacturer)
A comfortable city cycling experience is had on a bicycle with a so-called 'sit up and beg' riding position where the handlebar grips are setup higher than the saddle. This provides for greater road visibility (one usually rides higher than drivers in even in SUVs) and is also easier on the back compared with most other diamond-frame [aka safety bicycle] designs, including road bikes and mountain bikes.
English Roadsters and Dutch bicycles usually have singlespeed or 3-speed gearing. As these bicycles are generally built of heavy, all-steel construction, they are best suited to riding in relatively flat cities where a high number of gears is not necessary. Vintage models often have only a simple rear coaster brake or an additional (but ineffective) front spoon brake. Better equipped and more recent models will have rims brakes and higher end models have front- and rear drum brakes or rollerbrakes.
So-called 'Dutch bikes' have been around almost since the invention of the original safety bicyle in England. These oma- and opa-fiets or grandmother and grandfather bikes as they are referred to within The Netherlands make for excellent city bikes with the upright seating position as well as fully enclosed chaincase, front and rear fenders and often a pair of clothes protectors over the rear wheel to keep away oil, road spray and dirt.

Some North Americans like to refer to these as utility bikes while the author prefers the term city bikes, reserving the term utility for bicycle designed to transport large cargo loads.
Step-Through Bikes
The Low-Down: low step bikes are ideal city bikes for women cycling in skirts (Photo: abikestore.com)
Traditionally targeted at women and seniors, low-step bikes (sometimes referred to as step-through or German bicycles) enable the rider to more easily get her or his leg over the frame's J-shaped down tube instead of having to swing the leg over the rear wheel or top tube as is the case in getting on to a diamond frame bicycle.
Low-step bicycles often serve as the platform for pedelec electric-assisted bicycles.
Very low-step bicycles are well suited for the elderly and those who are unable to lift their legs high off the ground. See the special needs page for other rehabilitation bicycles and para-cycles.
Mixte Bikes
Stay Put: mixte-frames have three stays and are good for quick mounts/dismounts (Photo: Velo Orange)
A design first popularized in the 1970s and produced in large numbers until the mid 1980s, so called mixte frame bicycles are somewhere between a man's bicyle frame, with it's horizontal top tube and a woman's bicycle frame with it's sloopling top tube.
The mixte frame bicycle is making a small comeback as a practical unisex city bike.
Shopper Bikes
Shop 'til You Drop: a contemporary update to the classic shopper bicycle design (Photo: the manufacturer)
First gaining popularity in the 1950s and 1960s, especially in Germany and the UK, shopper bikes often have load carrying capacity at both front and rear. This could be any combination of porteur and luggage racks or baskets. Ignored until recently by perhaps everyone but their original owners, vintage shopper bikes from the 1970s can with some luck be found for sale in very good condition.
As people seek practical bikes that don't take up too much storage space in urban dwellings and aren't overly complex or technical, shopper bicycles have been making a comeback with major bicycle manufacturers who have been re-introducing them into product line ups after a long absence. Making use of 20" wheels, shopper bicycles are closely related to compact folding bikes that use the same wheelsize.
Comfort Bikes
Comfort Zone: an internal hub and fully enclosed chain are perfect for city use (Photo: Giant)
A 'crank-forward bicycle', 'semi-recumbent bicycle', 'flat foot bike' or 'comfort bike' as this design is variously referred to is for many riders a practical and comfortable alternative riding position. The design, actually dating to time of the invention of the recumbent bicycle in the 1930s, saw a resurgence in popularity several years ago with the release of several models by a couple of the largest bicycle manufacturers.
To some, crank forward bikes might resemble the chopper bikes of the 1970s. Sadly, the modern production runs were short as the bikes appealed only to mainly older buyers creating only a small niche market for manufacturers who returned to more conventional upright city bike designs.
The term comfort bike is also used to market a type of bike resembling a hybrid bike (described elsewhere on this page) but usually without a front suspension.
Take Comfort: a large saddle provides for a comfortable ride on this upright bike (Photo: the manufacturer)
To the Beach: cruisers are all about style over speed (Photo: 2wheelbikes.com)
Beach or no beach, cruisers made a comeback some years ago and make sense in the city for those who don't need or care about gears, a lightweight frame or high-end components, but prefer to place the emphasis on expressing style and individuality without sacrificing ride comfort.
Continuing the well established retro approach to product design long used in the automotive and furniture industries, the current generation of cruisers provide a classic and fun balloon tire bike look'n'feel with build quality significantly differing between the various bicycle manufacturers/brands.
Mountain Bikes
Old School: the first mountain bikes were modified cruisers called klunkers (Photo: the manufacturer)
All Downhill: full-suspension mountain bikes all less than ideal on paved roads (Photo: the manufacturer)
With the earliest examples built in the 1970s using cruisers from the 1940s and in widespread use since the late 1980s, mountain bikes are less than ideal as compared with proper city bikes for commuting around town unless equipped with aftermarket accessories including fenders, a rack, lights, reflectors and a bell.
With a few modifications, you can make a fully-rigid mountain bike (usually an older model MTB with no suspension) more comfortable for riding on city streets. This includes replacing the knobby off-road tires with slick or lightly treaded city tires as well as adding safety and comfort features including lights, reflectors and a bell. Finally, changing the handlebars to ones that offer a more upright riding position may further improve the ride, coming close to that of a hybrid bike
Hybrids & Trekking Bikes
A relatively recent class of bicycle, the hybrid bike (also known as a cross bike) combines the larger, fast-rolling tires of road bikes with the more relaxed frame geometry of mountain bikes for an on- and off-road-ready experience. Of course, many people use mountain bikes for urban cycling, perhpas due to the abundance of streets and lack of mountains near most cities to cycle on.
Cross Town Traffic: cross bikes are useful for both urban and off-road cycling (Photo: the manufacturer)
Today's low-end hybrid bicycles look similar to the first generation mountain bikes from the late 1980s and early 1990s that lacked front or rear suspensions. Today better hybrid models will usually offer a front suspension fork and a seatpost with integrated suspension to increase ride comfort.
Street Smarts: trekking bikes like this Schwinn are great all-rounders for cycling (Photo: the manufacturer)
Not to be confused with a particular brand of bicycle, the category of trekking bike emerged in Germany about a decade ago. A trekking bike is essentially a front suspension fork equipped hybrid bike with fenders and a rear carrying rack, the latter providing the capacity to add touring accessories to the frame. Trekking bikes are very well suited to for commuting, especially if your route includes rough terrain such as potholed streets, park gravel paths or forest dirt roads.
Touring / Randonneur Bikes
Go the Distance: touring bicycles are less than ideal for short jaunts in the city (Photo: the manufacturer)
A touring bike, aka randonneur or as some simply say, a 'French bike', could be used for urban cycling given the presence of fenders, lights, reflectors and load carrying racks but is less than ideal for daily use in the city given increased weight of the bike from all the attached accessories.
On the plus side, compared with a mountain bike, a touring bike has a longer wheelbase which makes it more comfortable to ride long distances. However, the classic narrow front and rear racks on a randonneur bike are not designed to carry the bulky loads like grocercies that other city bikes equipped with racks and baskets can handle.
Finally, most touring and randonneur bikes tend to be highly valued new or rare vintage bikes making them more prone to theft and are best left for their intended purpose of long-distance cycle touring.
Road Bikes & Fixies
The Road Less Followed: road bikes offer speed but little comfort and no utility (Photo: the manufacturer)
Despite the name, road bikes aren't exactly the best bike to use on roads around town. With their thin tires, ultralight, hi-tech frames and components, these bikes are popular with bicycle messengers and style-concious urban riders who perhaps prefer speed and over comfort.
Due to their light weight and setup, road bikes are interesting for cycling commuters who wish to make their journey relatively quickly by bike and for those who's employer provides a cycle-friendly workplace that includes changing facilities.
Fix Knees: fixed-gear bikes can be tricky for urban cycling and rough on the knees (Photo: the manufacturer)
A recent trend in cities around the world is to ride single-speed, fixed-gear bikes, a setup which is better suited to track bikes than to stop-and-go urban cycling. Fixies (as they're called) especially those lacking brakes are totally impractical for safe urban cycling and therefore a bad choice in the city.
Track-style bikes lacking brakes are illegal on public roads in essentially every legal jurisdiction and have been confiscated from owners by police through crackdown actions in more than one European city.
All in all, as long as you and your bicycle are outfitted with the necessary safety and comfort features, you're well underway and might want to explore bikes made for specific uses including folding bikes, cargo bicycles and trikes or the recumbent cycling styles.

4. Re: Rac session failover??601585 Oct 15, 2007 1:01 PM (in response to 558196)You need to read RAC manuals before you complain about the mal-function of fail-over. :)
You should configure client-side TAF, which is traditional and easy.
You should configure server-side TAF, which is supported from recent versions.
Client-side TAF is configured using TNSNAMES.ora as previous comment says.
Server-side TAF is configured using commands and DBMS_SERVICE package.
Another thing you should keep in mind is that select(query) session is transparently failed over, but dml session is not transparent. Your current transaction fails when the instance crashes. To enable automatic dml failover, you need to implement some manual codes. Connection is always failed over when successfully configured.
Another important thing is that threre are couple of options for connection failover. You should consult Oracle RAC manual.
Also note that you must be prepared for the capacity of the cluster. Imagine that both two instances are fully loaded and suddely one instance crashes. There is a strong possibility that another surviving instance cannot keep pace with the loads of two instances. I believe some of us have those experiences. You should carefully plan the capacity of the cluster.

Reviews of Islands of Siankaba
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Great start to our holiday - superb location
the only slight concern we had was not being aware in advance that we needed to go into Zimbabwe to see Victoria Falls - as there is no water on the Zambian side. Ian had to pay for a second visa on top of his initial entry visa to Zambia - It would have been easier for us to sort that out at the airport on arrival and get one visa to cover both countries - instead of paying twice .
Overall the Islands of Siankaba was superb - the location is wonderful - staff excellent and we absolutely loved the whole place - would recommend it to anyone.
Islands of Siankaba review
The Islands of Siankaba was a wonderful place to relax at the end of our holiday, and as Megan had suggested it really gave us the best of both worlds: the opportunity to visit and do some activities at the Falls combined with the chance to decompress in a beautiful setting right on the Zambezi.
The lodge is located at the end of quite a lengthy track which seemed to go on for miles on the day of our road transfer from Kasane, but which we felt ultimately enhanced the sense of seclusion and tranquility.
The staff were delightful, the food delicious, our room lovely -- and we particularly enjoyed being the only guests on the final day of our trip!
Lovely setting on the Zambezi
Islands of Siankaba was fantastic. A really great venture (apparently UK owned) that has really helped the local community by employing them as well as paying for some improvements in their infrastructure.
Had a great cycle ride around the nearby village which is were we saw the true Africa. The staff were extremely polite, the food was high quality and the rooms themselves (and we had the honeymoon suite) were lovely - views overlooking the Zambezi (and the sunrise) was something that we won't forget.
Mokoros, sunset cruises and a half day to Victoria Falls - all superb.
This really was something different. Lovely lodge over the river superb service and very friendly staff. The food and drinks were excellent and it was a fun place to be. Sundowners in the evenings upriver, Sunuppers with a glass of orange and a sore head. Woken up in the mornings by monkeys fighting on our verandah, Had 3 hours fishing upriver ( I can definitely state that there are no fish in the Zambezi!) Microlighted over the Vic Falls and viewed them on foot from both Zimbabwe and Zambian sides.
N.B.The UNIVISA works well but be patient (it's the same price as a single Zambian entry but we had to go into a different queue at the immigration desk.
N.B. The requirement for a yellow fever certificate has apparently been discontinued
The I.of S. claims to support the village but had a look around. No running water-no sanitation-no electricity, only a lift once a week for somebody to collect shopping. (Nigerians would have "tapped in" (!) to overhead wires and underground pipes) Is it a scam?
Well-appointed lodge on the Zambezi
This lodge has a very special location on 2 small islands in the Zambezi river and arriving by motor launch adds a certain something to the experience of staying there. Lodges are very comfortable with excellent beds, showers and terrace area...but a little cool at night in the winter months (though electric blanket in the bed was greatly appreciated).
Food and service is of a high standard and we enjoyed the activities in which we participated e.g .Victoria Falls tour and Sunset Cruise each afternoon, but we thought there could have been more activities on offer at the Lodge itself - such as a bird-watching trip as there was plentiful bird-life all around. However we did both enjoy having excellent massage from the very good therapist who currently works there and it was unfortunate that our visit coincided with a public holiday period, which meant that a visit to the local school was not possible.
All in all, a very comfortable and beautiful location.
Islands of Siankaba review
A great location and ambience which we would recommend to anyone. Staff friendly and helpful and sunset boat rides with drinks in the middle of the Zambezi fantastic.Read more about the whole trip
Relaxing way to finish our trip
We were looking for a place to end our vacation in a relaxing manner and it did not disappoint.
We did the falls tour and took a mokoro ride and nature walk. The rest of the time we just enjoyed relaxing on the island.
Would have booked a massage as well but they were fully booked so book early if you know you want one.
Food could have been better and we were a little surprised they didn't acknowledge our 30th anniversary.

Islands of Siankaba review
What a jolt from the bush camps! Fantastic location ( we had Room 3 - Mahogany - with breathtaking views of the Zambezi). But it felt more of a production line hotel experience than the bush camps - probably affected by a different clientele. This was compounded by having to make rapid choices about options for the Victoria Falls - all of which seemed very expensive (I still do not know if they would have been cheaper if we had arranged ourselves). Food seemed less interesting and vaired as we had experienced in the bush camps. In the end we took none of them and still felt very happy with seeing the falls on their included tour.
What really surprised us was how positive and interesting the village tour was - a really interesting insight into Zambian society that I would not have been able to get in any other way. The mukoro rides were brilliant and a final mukoro sundowner in the middle of the Zambezi an experience not to be missed.
In the end we warmed to the place. At first we thought it too far from the Falls but in the end it did exactly what we wanted as we relaxed on our last days in Zambia.
Wonderful stay at Siankaba
Islands of Siankaba is a wonderful place. The staff is truly fantastic, after 10 days of safary they made me and especially my mom feel very comfortable and welcome as part of their family. My mom speaks very little English but she had no problem at all getting along and communicating with all members of staff, particularly Bessie (the esthetician), Humphrey (our host), Sector with whom we did the most amazing sunset cruise in a mokoro, the village tour and the nature walk as well as Lucky, with whom we visited the falls.
We were very happy that we had decided to stay three nights at Siankaba as this place is truly idyllic (the chalets are overlooking the Zambezi and you go to sleep with the sound of the river) and there is so much to do. On Sunday, we went to church (the choir lead by Lucky was great) and visited the village, including the school. We had an interesting chat with the village chief and the school teacher before heading back to the lodge by boat.
Next time at Siankaba, we'll have to stay longer to do the mokoro trip and the village walk again and to include hightee on Livingstone Island as well as the rhino walk. We would also love to see all of the staff again!
Siankaba was the perfect lodge at the end of our holiday.

Right on the highway so VERY noisy. Way too many trees so couldn't get any satellite signal. Not really an RV park...more long term trailers. - CIAforHim
Jun 2013 - $1.00
Trees on entry road need trimming; also a number of the sites have low hanging branches. We have stayed at this RV park many times while visiting family, but never again. We arrived shortly after the flooding, expecting to find debris & signs of the creek overflowing. What we did not expect was to find dried sewage covering the pad and the grassy areas. Our site was closer to the creek than others, but the water had receded 5 days earlier. The water connection is underground (which I have always been a bit uneasy about), and the access "hole" was full of mud & likely sewage. Apparently every time the park floods -- which it does almost every year, to some extent -- the sewage comes up through the sewer connections. The smell was awful. We called the owner to come down; they were apologetic & said they'd get someone down to pressure-wash & spray chemicals on the pad in the next day or two and dig out the water connection. I'm not sure if they pick up the "sheets" of dried sewage; that wasn't mentioned. We had no idea this happened until this year, and has guaranteed we will not be going back to this park again because of the health risks, and the general "crawly" feeling we had once we realized we were basically parked in a sewer. There are children living in this park! The park is in a flood plain, but nothing was ever mentioned about sewage backing up into the park. The owner is a very sweet lady, but she's now in her mid-90s and just not able to keep up with things anymore. It's a real shame, because we always enjoyed the quiet, large sites, lack of traffic, and country "feel" (which is why I gave them a rating of 2). There are very few options for RV parks in the St. Louis area. If you decide to stay here and have pets, I'd suggest you buy a large container of disinfectant wipes to clean their feet every time they come back inside. We just could not convince ourselves to stay, although the majority of the sites are occupied. - HDT
Jun 2012 - $21.00
I wasn't sure about this park until I got there, but it turned out to be a wonderful experience. I felt very safe there and didn't worry about my unit when I left my motor home for four days while attending an event in downtown St. Louis. When you see the "dead end" sign it makes you wonder what to expect and there is no place to turn around once you go past the sign. It is very convenient to Wal-Mart, downtown St. Louis, and eating places of all sorts. I would definitely stay here again, the sites were wide, paved, and easy to get into. The price reflected the weekly rate. - Ilovemyholidayrambler

Management is horrible, very rude. She acted like she was doing us a favor renting a spot. On the phone with one of her children, I'm guessing, while I stood there waiting. The park itself is an old mobile home park with few amenities. Two of the four dryers weren't working. A neighbor said they had been broken for months. No showers, pool, and only one small bathroom located in the laundromat. No picnic tables. No fires allowed. Most RVs were permanent but neighbors we talked to seemed nice enough. There was a sewer smell as we walked our dogs. We won't stay here again. - The Rambler

Found this one for the location, near our destination for tomorrow. Called about noon, left msg, no return call as their office is closed on Sunday. On arrival found no check-in info, no available sites no rate info, so called again. Recording. Walked around and found an empty site, and asked a neighbor if it was being used... he said no, so we pulled in. Needed to leave early in the am, 8:30, and the office doesn't open until 9. Guess we'll leave an envelope. Hmmm.... Site itself was OK, concrete pad and spacious. Power pole new, and full hookups. No picnic table or fire pit, though. - BridgeInRV

There are thousands of Internet Flash games free. Unfortunately, we must always be connected to the Internet to take advantage of it. Here's how to get these games on your hard disk to play on any occasion without an Internet connection.
Step 1: Understand the principle
In a previous tip, we saw how to take advantage of Flash games in full screen. We will see now how to retrieve a Flash game on your PC to access it then offline that is without having to connect or launch a web browser. Technically, a game is a Flash animation file interactive format " SWF. This file is downloaded with the Web page, and then executed by the browser as any animation. To enjoy offline (off) a game, it must begin retrieving files SWF games that interest you, then play this Flash animation directly from the desktop.
Step 2: Get the SWF file
To retrieve the SWF file of a game, several possibilities:
- The first solution, a manual, is to go digging into your browser's cache after visiting the page of game, there is more than just one copy of the SWF file on your desktop for example. The disadvantage of this manipulation is that it's not always easy to identify in the "cache" of the file browser.
- The second option is to use the site File2HD.com. This site allows you to break down a Web page to retrieve items that interest you. Here's how:
- With your browser, go to the Web site containing the game you like (for example here)
- Place the cursor on the address bar, select the entire URL and press [Ctrl] + [C] to copy the URL into the Windows clipboard.
- Now go to the site www.file2hd.com
- Place the cursor in the URL of the page and press [Ctrl] + [V] to paste the copied URL above.
- Check the box "I have read and agree to the Terms of Services"
- Check OBJECTS in the Filter
- Click on Get Files
- The site displays a list of files found objects on the page, among them the SWF file of the game. Click the right mouse button and select Save As from the context menu, and select a destination (the office for example).
- A third option, is reserved for users of Firefox 3, is to use the Page Info:
- With Firefox 3, go to the Web site containing the game you like (for example here)
- Right-click on a blank area in that page and select View Page Info
- Open the Media tab
- Find the list in the SWF file, select it and click Save As and select a destination (the office for example).
You now have one or more games SWF files on your desktop (or any other location of your choice). We will see how to exploit them.

Remember those rumors about a Facebook phone? It turns out HTC and Facebook spent several years developing two of them that are being announced Tuesday at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
Remember those rumors about a Facebook phone?
It turns out HTC and Facebook spent several years developing two of them that are being announced Tuesday at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.
HTC worked with Facebook to integrate the social network into the phones, adding a dedicated Facebook key with the "F" logo that pulsates when you do something shareable on the phone.
When taking pictures, you can press F to upload them to Facebook, for instance, or when using Google Maps, you can press it to share your location.

"HTC has brought Facebook to these two new devices in an innovative way enabling people to connect and share easily whenever they want, wherever they are," Henri Moissinac, head of Facebook's mobile business, said in a news release.
Jason Mackenzie, president of HTC North America in Bellevue, said Facebook's logo appears on the special key but "we will not brand this as the Facebook phone or anything."
Mackenzie said the "ChaCha" model, with a 2.6-inch touch-screen and exposed keyboard, will compete with the BlackBerry Curve.
The second model, the Salsa, is a touch-screen-only phone with a 3.4-inch screen.
They'll be available in the second quarter, at prices to be announced later.
Both are based on version 2.4 of Google's Android software and have Facebook integrated into the HTC Sense interface.
When calling or receiving a call from Facebook friends, the software displays friends' latest status and photos and alerts you if their birthday is coming up.
HTC is also announcing a tablet computer, the "Flyer," which will go on sale in the second quarter. It's intended to be a high-end device, with an aluminum housing, a 7-inch diagonal touch-screen, a 1.5 gigahertz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 32 gigabytes of RAM and HSPA+ wireless capability.
It's launching with Android 2.4 but will be upgradeable to the upcoming "Honeycomb" version of Android optimized for tablets.
HTC designed a new version of its Sense interface for the larger screen of a tablet, with a carousel for navigating icons and widgets.
The Flyer also comes with a stylus for taking notes on the device. Mackenzie said this is a more polite way to take notes than typing on a tablet or laptop during a meeting.
HTC is playing up the Flyer's media capabilities. It will feature HTC's new "Watch" video-download service and come preloaded with the OnLive streaming game service, taking advantage of a $40 million investment HTC is making in the Palo Alto, Calif.-based startup.
The Flyer also has a 5-megapixel camera plus a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera for videoconferencing.
The price of the Flyer and bundled services such as OnLive will be announced later, Mackenzie said.
Also being announced is a new version of HTC's Desire model, with an aluminum unibody design; the Incredible S with a 4-inch screen (up from 3.7-inches on the previous Incredible); and a lower-end Android phone called the Wildfire S intended to be a more affordable smartphone sold for $100 or less by wireless carriers.
Surprise to Intel
BARCELONA, Spain — Intel was surprised when Nokia announced it would put Windows Phone 7 instead of Meego on its smartphones.
The two had been collaborating to make Meego a smartphone operating system for Nokia. The Finnish phone maker announced Friday that Windows Phone 7 will become the primary operating system on its smartphones in a partnership with Microsoft.
"That was definitely disappointing to us," said Reuben Gallegos, Intel investor relations manager, at a briefing at Mobile World Congress. "We were not expecting that. … Literally the decision came so fast we don't know what will happen long term."
Meego will become an open-source alternative for Nokia. "We will still work with them, maybe not so closely now," Gallegos said.
The partnership with Nokia is Microsoft's second blow to Intel this year. In January, Microsoft said it would design its next version of Windows to run on chip sets designed by ARM, an Intel rival.

MASTER SHEFF; Jamie's New Team-Mates Insist He's Timed His Switch to Perfection after Serving a Tough Six-Year, 215-Game Apprenticeship in the SPL
Byline: Gordon Waddell
They say timing your run is everything. If that's true, then Jamie Murphy has mastered the art.
The 23-year-old's move south to Sheffield United from Motherwell last week came after six seasons and 215 games for the Steelmen.
And two of the Scots he'll now line up with at Brammall Lane, both of whom took starkly different routes south, reckon his decision to do the hard yards north of the border will pay off big time for him.
Neill Collins has nine seasons in English football under his belt, having grafted through 107 games as a part-time student with Queen's Park and Dumbarton before Mick McCarthy took him to Sunderland.
Three Championship medals between the Black Cats and Wolves and one promotion from League One with Leeds are testimony to that being the right road.
Ryan Flynn, though, jumped at the chance to put his name in lights with Liverpool at 16 and basked in Youth Cup glory with the Anfield giants twice in his teens.
But he still ended up needing a diversion via Wrexham and back to Falkirk before he realised his dream of playing first-team football in England.
That's why both reckon Murphy's apprenticeship is the perfect platform to hit the ground running in the League One promotion push.
Collins said: "You see it happen time and again when players come down too early. They're not ready to play at first-team level in the Premier League and disappear without trace. "But then there's also a chance you can leave it too late. It's a double-edged sword.
"I've seen great pros in Scotland come down here and struggle because they've gone past the point of thinking they have anything to learn. But the transition needs adjusting to, no question. Then you look at Jamie, a guy who has 200 games under his belt, 50-odd goals.
"He's 24 and has shown he has maturity and loyalty in the service he's given to Motherwell.
"The timing is perfect for him - and from our point of view, he's exactly what we need right now.
"He has a great change of pace, can beat a man and has an eye for goal - he's an ingredient we've been missing in our game.
"We've had so many draws that could have been wins if it had just been for that kind of thing.
"January's never an easy time to move but he's got a few other Scots in the dressing-room, like Kevin McDonald who played Scotland Under-21s with him. Then there's Chris Porter and Nick Blackman who he played with at Well.
"He'll be coming in to familiar faces. That always helps."
It's not Murphy's first chance to move. The rangey forward has been catching the eye since he broke in to Well's top team in 2006.
Unlike more recent breakthrough kids like Jack Grimmer, Scott Allan and Danny Wilson, though, he resisted the lure of the lucre. …

BURLINGTON Two Vermont men are facing federal charges stemming from the theft of firearms from a Hardwick gun store and the trading of some of those guns for drugs.

I thought this adaptation was excellent. The actors were all fantastic and I loved the choreography (fight scenes) and all the costumes and the music. All came together to make it very real and magical. So good we are thinking of going again

This performance of Romeo and Juliet was nothing short of FANTASTIC! We've seen it (and the ballet) performed many times, and this performance was by the far the best time ever. Juliet captures the youthfulness and impulsive nature of Juliet. ...continued

A spectacular performance and production! The stage transformations were incredible and the semi-modern take was perfect - not too over-the-top but not strictly classic. Everyone must see this at least once!
Quotes & Highlights
Watch a You Tube clip of Romeo and Juliet.
Pure and hot, passionate and true—in Romeo and Juliet, the feverish intensity of youth explodes on CST's stage in the most celebrated love story of all time. A romance ignites in young Romeo and Juliet as the vicious rivalry of their families, the Montagues and the Capulets, hurls their fates to destiny.
"What I love about American actors is they are very bold, they're very adventurous," director Gale Edwards says of staging Romeo and Juliet in her Chicago Shakespeare debut. "So you can actually find an exciting physicality for a production. In Romeo and Juliet, of course, that's very important. It's a youthful story about young people. It's a physical story."
Edwards insists that her new production at Chicago Shakespeare "be brought to life in the now, for this audience, and this place and this time," electrifying the Bard's classic poetry with a contemporary immediacy and setting her Romeo and Juliet apart from all others.
Joining Edwards for**__ __**__Romeo and Juliet __are some of Chicago's most highly regarded classical performers, as well as some outstanding newcomers to Chicago Shakespeare's stage. Making their CST debuts as the star-crossed lovers are Jeff Lillico and Joy Farmer-Clary. Lillico, who recently garnered a Dora Mavor Moore Award from the Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts for his turn as Fabrizio in The Light in the Piazza, has numerous credits at the Shaw Festival Theatre and Stratford Shakespeare Festival. Farmer-Clary's credits include productions at Lincoln Center and the Tony Award-winning Old Globe. CST veterans returning for Edwards' production include: Ora Jones, last seen in Twelfth Night, as Nurse; Brendan Marshall-Rashid, as Paris; Judy Blue as Lady Capulet; Brandon Ford as Gregory; and Steve Haggard as Benvolio.
Also returning is David Lively as Friar Laurence, who previously played King Henry IV in CST's Henry IV Parts 1 and 2, marking the Theater's debut at the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2006. The cast for Edwards' production is rounded out by Zach Appelman as Tybalt, James Elly as Abraham, Kenn E. Head as Escalus/Apothecary, Jonathan Hicks as Anthony, Ben Huth as Balthazar, John Judd as Lord Capulet, Tom McElroy as Lord Montague, Lily Mojekwu as Lady Montague, Marvin Quijada as Sampson, Ariel Shafir as Mercutio, Scott Westerman as Peter, and ensemble members David Musselman and Jude Roche.

Oklahoma City Thunder: Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook lead OKC past Jazz
The mugging took place a month ago.
But Kendrick Perkins and Serge Ibaka still remembered.
Really, how could they forget?
Al Jefferson and Paul Millsap had thoroughly manhandled them both, taking complete control of the middle and helping Utah tear the Thunder's defense to pieces. It resulted in one of Oklahoma City's worst defeats of the season, a 15-point road drubbing in which coach Scott Brooks couldn't even pinpoint a single positive.
This time, there were plenty.
Against a Jazz team that came to town fighting for its playoff life, the Thunder made things that much tougher on its division rival, exacting a small measure of revenge in a runaway 110-87 victory on Wednesday night inside Chesapeake Energy Arena.
Oklahoma City led for the final 40 minutes, eventually growing the margin to as many as 32 points and bouncing back beautifully from Monday's humbling loss at San Antonio.
Kevin Durant led the way with a game-high 23 points and 10 rebounds, and Russell Westbrook controlled the pace with 19 points, seven rebounds and a game-high nine assists.
But the biggest key was down low, where the big men battled in the paint.
A stellar defensive effort by Perkins and Ibaka didn't just minimize the damage done by Jefferson and Millsap, it abolished almost any and all impact the two could have had.
Utah's inside tandem combined for just 15 points and 14 rebounds. They made just five of 18 shots.
A month ago in Salt Lake City, those same two combined for 41 points and 17 rebounds on 19 of 36 shooting.
"I thought their bigs really did a good job of setting the tone for their team in Utah," said Brooks. "And I thought our bigs did a great job. Perk…if you had to give a game ball, you'd give it to him."
Perkins' final stat line: zero points, 0-for-2 from the field, three rebounds, zero assists, four fouls and four turnovers.
"He was a big impact throughout the game, not only on his man but anchoring our defense and not allowing any easy points in the paint in that first three quarters. He's been doing that all year."
Utah shot just 35 percent and mustered only 28 first-half points, four more than the Thunder's record for fewest points allowed in a half. The Jazz, which entered the game ranked eighth in paint points at 43.1 per game, was held to 32 Wednesday and had just six through halftime and sat on 16 through three quarters.
"We were physical with them," Durant said. "Perk did a great job. Serge did a great job. We made them shoot over a hand and forced them out. I can count on one hand how many times they just got easy points in the paint."
OKC took control of the game with a 21-9 second quarter, an Oklahoma City era franchise record for the fewest points allowed in a period.
The Thunder forced the Jazz into missing 21 of their 24 shots in the second quarter, and Utah went into halftime staring at a 50-28 deficit. The Jazz were shooting just 22.7 percent at the break, barely above the franchise-low 20.8 percent Chicago shot on Feb. 24.
The Thunder went on a 21-4 run in the final 10 1/2 minutes of the second period. Over that stretch, Utah had twice as many turnovers (six) as made field goals in the entire period.
Behind airtight defense from Perkins, who pushed him away from the basket and contested every shot, Jefferson missed all five of his field goal attempts and was stuck on six points on 3-for-11 shooting at halftime. He finished with eight points and seven rebounds while going 4-for-13 from the field.
"We remember the butt-whooping that they gave us in Utah so we just wanted to come back and respond after that," Perkins said. "Coach instigated it a lot these last two days about how bad they whooped us. We laughed about it, but at the same time Serge and myself, we're two guys that have a lot of pride. So I told him today let's go out here and do what we got to do. Don't worry about nothing else but making it hard on those two guys. I think we did a pretty good job."

Since I love all the ingredients in this recipe, I thought it would turn out great----I was wrong. I bake/cook almost every day and am experienced in making bread puddings, but the ricotta never incorporated into the final product. It looked like scrambled egg whites throughout the bread pudding---even after taking the other reviewers advise and mixing very well. It tasted good, but was not creamy and looked very odd. Disappointed.
Very tasty! Be sure to beat the ricotta until creamy. I've made it twice, the first time I didn't beat the ricotta long enough and it had a definite "ricotta" texture. It was still wonderful, just not as creamy as the second time I made it.

One and done. That's what Britney Spears' record with the "X Factor" will be.
After a lackluster turn on the show in which Spears failed to goose ratings for Simon Cowell's reality singing competition, sources close to the production confirmed to MTV News on Thursday (January 10) that the singer has quit the show because she knew she would not be asked to return for this fall's third season.
Spears will be a one-termer after ratings for the show's second season suffered a double-digit dip last year. The singer, whose most lasting legacy on "Factor" could end up being her GIF-worthy grab bag of surprised/bored/blank facial expressions, has not officially been dropped from the panel yet, but the failure to launch made the writing on the wall very clear.
A spokesperson for Fox had no comment on the reports at press time.
TMZ broke the news on Wednesday night, quoting "unimpeachable sources" as saying that while Spears loves the show, she's focused on recording her eighth studio album at the moment. "Britney loves Simon, she likes Demi Lovato but her thing is music," said one source.
The signing of Spears was a gamble for Cowell, considering that the press-shy singer has been reluctant to go in front of cameras for several years following a string of personal problems that began in 2007. The news came just days after Fox entertainment chairman Kevin Reilly told reporters that he was pleased with Spears' job on "Factor."
"I thought it went very, very well," Reilly said on Tuesday. "It was fraught with unknowns, and I think Britney did a very good job. People are fascinated with her and always will be. Last year the ratings were a little bit higher, but I think it was a better show this year. I think she tucked in really nicely on the bench."
Spears will be part of what has been a constantly rotating panel on "Factor," which saw the booting of Nicole Scherzinger and Paula Abdul after season one and the recent departure of original judge L.A. Reid following the just-completed season. It was unknown at press time if Lovato will return for a second season.Britney's new album is among the most anticipated releases of 2013!
After reportedly pulling down a $15 million paycheck for the "Factor" deal, Spears has been in the studio working on tracks with Hit-Boy and will.i.am and is reportedly considering mounting a tour to support the as-yet-untitled new effort. The singer released Femme Fatale in March 2011 and recently appeared alongside pal will on his single "Scream & Shout."

The Online Order That Made 72 Hours Feel Like Forever
These days, online ordering is an everyday occurrence, in fact it's the preferred method of shopping for many—so when my husband and I recently hit the "Order Now" button, we had 100% confidence in not only our method of purchase, but the retailer we had ordered from so many times before. What we didn't know is that the purchase of just one item would flip our financial world upside down.
The ASUS Designo LS246H Rings Up a Nice Design
It's more than obvious that ASUS was aiming high(er) end with this new display, with a sophisticated black minimalist casing that conveys boutique tech.

Touch screen technology has become the hot add-on for all things tech. From cell phones to digital music players to ATM machines, it's like companies can't get enough of your finger smudges on their screens. The next product to get the touchover is the computer monitor. Device Magazine reports that Packard Bell has announced a 20-inch monitor with multitouch technology so you can do all the things your used to doing on your iPhone -- swiping, pinching, etc. -- but on your computer screen. Is this the kind of innovation you're looking for in your computer monitor?
Going BIG with AMD Eyefinity Multi-Displays
"More" seems never enough when it comes to computer specs and monitor real estate. And that's the thinking behind AMD's Eyefinity Multi-Display system, which sets out to bring a truly ultra hi-def immersive experience using multiple displays. Yes, we already have display spanning or mirroring (we use it ourselves), but the new trick here is the Eyefinity's hardware/software solution converts a group of displays into one single monitor, in Borg-like fashion, with one video card (!)...
gScreen Shows Off Dual Screen Notebook

Cheaply Get Touch Capabilities for Your Laptop via USB Monitor
Touch screens are what most users really want. With Apple releasing their neat new mulit-touch touchpads for their MacBooks, the race is on to provide touch and multi-touch capabilities to users. Until now, getting it meant spending quite a bit of money on a touch screen monitor. The thing is that most users don't need their whole screen to be touch sensitive, they just need a certain part. That's why this extra USB monitor is so cool. It lets you get touch capabilities without spending too much money.

Life's better with multiple monitors. It's just a fact. You get tons of extra space to spread out toolbars and open up pages.

AbstractA digital image processing system for ophthalmic applications will be developed. The system will enable users to quantify easily, quickly, and accurately various retinal lesions from retinal images. Lesions such as macular drusen exudates, cotton wool spot, hemorrhages, and aneurysms will be detected in a fully automated manner; thus, the detection of such problems will eliminate the need for operator decision inherent in previously developed systems. The detection and segmentation of lesions will be accomplished through sophisticated application of Mathematical Morphology directly to gray scale images. This methodology enables the enforcement of both brightness and size (of the lesions) constraints in the detection process. The approach's feasibility will be investigated in Phase I by developing the detection/segmentation techniques needed to analyze drusen and by comparing the reproducibility achieved to the reproducibility obtained with previous semi-automatic and manual grading methods. In Phase II of this project the techniques will be extended to many other lesions. In addition, we will develop, implement and test techniques to characterize the distribution of lesions and their spatial organization. Methods to register retinal images taken at different times will be developed and used to characterize the changes in lesions over time.

The early estimates are in for box office performance this weekend and it looks like Resident Evil: Retribution came out on top with an opening weekend of $21 million. Admittedly, I haven't seen all of these films, but after seeing the preview for this fifth instalment, I was eager to watch it myself. The action flick stars Milla Jovovich as well as Michelle Rodriguez. No other video game-based movie series has come anywhere near this franchise's successful longevity.
Finding Nemo 3D came in second place with an estimated $17.5 million in its opening weekend. This film definitely has to be one of my favorite Disney animations with Ellen DeGeneres as Dori – so hilarious. Another filmed that opened this weekend was The Master, starring Joaquin Phoenix, Philip Seymour Hoffman, and Amy Adams. The film was only limited release, but did super well considering that with an estimated $729,745. I can't wait to see this one!
Check out the top 10 films for wide release this weekend below and be sure to share your thoughts if you saw any of the aforementioned ones!
