Wi fi signal in the rooms wasnt that great
good staff .............

Good value for money, nice breakfast, friendly and helpful staff, "suite" nature of rooms.
Excelent location, reasonably comfortable and very good price.
The bathrooms are old and spotted. Really not nice. There was a lot of dirty underneath the bed, old television, and the breakfast is not as good as it should be.
Friendly staff
Nice friendly atmosphere.
very comfortable beds and excellent breakfasts, super friendly and helpful staff. Location is within walking distance to shops and restuarants.
some noise in the nieghborhood, thin walls but the location is in an urban area.

Laser Blast (Atari 2600) review
"For years, I remembered Laser Blast (LB) as the game that I should've won, but I had to go to the bathroom. LB has an appealing, amusing concept. You are a UFO, elliptical and with windows spinning around the center. You must fire down at three ground cannons. You are also, apparently, the bad guys: your lasers are red, theirs blue. If you win, a new round appears. This goes on until you get a million points. You can get 270 points per round, which can take two to five seconds. Doing the ..."

I would need the original post url to also be added to another custom field named "video_link". Is there an easy way to do that?
I have tried in "Posts and Links -> Custom Post Settings" to add the key "video_link" and the value $(link). Unfortunately the rss is not formatted properly so this solution doesn't work.
How is the syndication_permalink value retrieved by Feedwordpress? On the basis of what data element?

Day 51.
The first time I made this, I only used a cup of broth and it had the consistency of applesauce. I liked it, but it was a bit weird with only one cup, so now I use 2.
I had NO idea what I was going to cook on Sunday. I didn't have anything planned, and Adam had taken the kids out for a while and I had the house to myself. I went for a long run and showered alone--a luxury I do not get often.
There was no way I was going to go to the store.
I dug through the fridge and freezer and ecstatically discovered a neglected bag of frozen chicken broth. The fridge revealed 3 sweet potatoes that needed attention and we still had a bit of cream leftover from the crème brulee and the fish chowder. The pantry held a few cans of mangoes.
So I put them all together.
The Ingredients:
--3 sweet potatoes
--2 cups broth (chicken or vegetable)
--1 can sliced mangoes
--pinch of allspice (or a pinch each of cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves)
--1/2 cup heavy cream (to be added after cooking)
The Directions:
--peel and cube sweet potato
--put into crockpot, add broth and entire can of mangoes
--stir in spices
cover and cook on high for 4 hours, low for 8 or until potatoes are tender
It will look weird. Really weird.
Use a hand blender to pulverize the potatoes and mangoes
When fully blended, stir in the heavy cream. Add more if you feel it needs more liquid.
Cover and cook on high another 15-20 minutes, or until heated through fully.
The Verdict:
very, very yummy!!!
I wish I had a sprig of mint leaves or something ala-Food-Network so it would have been better plated--it was really quite good. I also wish that it was orange like the stuff in the can, and not pale yellow.
I had another bowl for lunch and the potatoes sucked up more of the moisture so they turned into more of a whipped potato consistency. It was still very good, but could no longer be considered a soup.
It freaks me out how sweet sweet potatoes can be! It seriously tasted like I dumped in a whole cup of sugar.

In filing bankruptcy my lawyer failed to take the extra step to have liens removed from the property I was co-owner of with my X-husband. He says reason is I was walking away from the home and surrendering property so what does it matter. Well it matters because now my X is trying to sell property and can't because of liens on it from me. My lawyer also never had me do quit claim deed to remove my name from the title on home and I am hoping that bankruptcy removed it from loan on the home. My lawyer also said something about liens should have never been placed on property to begin with because it wan not just my property and X was no longer my husband. We were not husband and wife when property was purchased. What are my options now to clear title and myself.
Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorney
The lien and the debt are separate legal entities. Although the debt has been discharged, the lien is still good. Consider a lien as if it were a car loan. You can discharge the debt for the car loan in your bankruptcy and you owe nothing, but does bankruptcy give you a free car? No, because unless you pay the lien on the car, the lender's interest in the car lets them repo it. Hope this perspective helps!

The picture looks like toilet paper. On first glance, I was pretty sure this was meant to block wifi signals from my nethers.
+Justin Carlson in urban areas you can get so many APs and clients on a single channel that the collision domain approaches saturation and network quality for everyone degrades. if everyone lined their "exterior" walls with this stuff (assuming it works as advertised) there would be a lot more room in densely packed areas for more APs and clients.
edit: this tends to happen with ISPs who ship wifi routers preconfigured with one channel.

lol +J. R. Skola . I suppose when the aliens probe you that would be a great place to place a tracking device. Tricky aliens!
wifi blocking TP is a must for any paranoid alien/government/secret society believer :P
+Paul Shirey this could also be used on panels or to line the inside of rollup blinds. i'd bet it can even be installed behind/on the backside of drywall before it's hung.
(hehe ... wifi isolated drawer by using this as drawer liner :P)
(hehe ... wifi isolated drawer by using this as drawer liner :P)
It absorbs the WiFi spectrum, but not other frequencies. They say it can be used on ceilings and floors too for better protection.
Rip-off. I can get that feature for $2.99/roll at Safeway. http://www.adcomparisons.com/adcompare/adImg1/2012/20120415/55880075.jpg
Plain foil may not attenuate as deeply as this if the pattern actually behaves as a tuned circuit. If it is frequency selective, then your cell phone would still work, or your AM/FM radio. Only testing would tell. For real attenuation, the room would have to be wrapped (walls, ceiling, floor), windows covered, doors treated and coupled to the walls. RF will leak through structures in weird ways. We have a dozen 'screen rooms' at work, and they are complex beasts.
Re: Toilet paper & Wifi. I did a wifi site survey many moons ago for a small company. I found that about 20 metres away (60 feet) from the test AP I brought with me, the signal dropped out whenever I walked behind a specific pallet of toilet paper. Signal was strong thru cyclone fencing, walls with lots of rebar and pipes, and a large pallet of liquid bleach at that distance. But this one damn pallet of toilet paper - no signal. Made no sense, so we simply accepted it and moved on.
Ken, toilet paper is available at many supermarkets and big-box stores. Not usually by the pallet, though.

I have to create and query a column family with composite key as [timestamp,long]. Also, while querying I want to fire range query for timestamp (like timestamp between xxx and yyy) Is this possible ?
Currently I am doing something really funny (Which I know its not correct). I create keys with timestamp string for given range and concatenate with long.
like ,
and pass set of keys to hector api. (so if i have date range for 1 month and I want every minute data, i create 30 * 24 * 60 * [number of secondary key - long])
I can solve concatenation issue with composite key. But query part is what I am trying to understand.
As far as I understood, As we are using RandomPartitioner we cannot really query based on range as keys are MD5 checksum. Whats ideal design for this kind of use case ?
my schema and requirements are as follows : (actual csh)
CREATE TABLE report(
ts timestamp,
user_id long,
svc1 long,
svc2 long,
svc3 long,
PRIMARY KEY(ts, user_id));
select from report where ts between (123445345435 and 32423423424) and user_id is in (123,567,987)

Swinging Anderson calls the tune
James Anderson continued his love affair with Trent Bridge as England opened the npower Test series with a 354-run mauling of Pakistan.
The Lancashire seamer produced arguably the greatest performance of his career to claim 6-17 and bowl Pakistan out for 80 - their lowest total against England - before lunch on day four.
It gave him match figures of 11-71 on the ground which also witnessed his previous Test best of 9-98 against New Zealand two years ago.
Anderson was endorsing captain Andrew Strauss' pre- and post-match conviction that there is no bowler better in the world "when the ball is swinging".
The man himself spoke with justifiable pride at taking 10 wickets in the match for the first time in his Test career. "This is fantastic - a great feeling," he said.
Asked if he could remember bowling better, Anderson said: "It's up there. I bowled with very good patience in both innings. I didn't get greedy, or try to bowl the magic ball too much."
Anderson's fondness for a venue that is increasingly helpful to swing bowlers is obvious - he has now taken 28 wickets at 15.89 apiece in four Tests - but he admits he and the England management have plans in place for when there is less lateral movement in the air.
"I find it a little bit easier when it swings," he said. "You do want to make the most of it because it doesn't always go your way.
"One thing we've talked about is trying to concentrate on it not swinging. Our main aim is to bowl maidens, create pressure from both ends.
"If it swings we can bowl slightly more attacking. Most of our focus in preparation for games has been it not swinging."
Anderson has endured a tough season at times - left out of England's ICC World Twenty20-winning team, faring well in two Tests against Bangladesh but struggling for wickets in the mid-summer one-day internationals.
"It's not been my greatest summer so far," the 28-year-old admitted. "But I always felt I was bowling well through the one-day series, even though my figures might have shown otherwise.
"I wasn't coming into this game low on confidence. I managed to get rhythm early in the game, got the rub of the green, got the nicks - and catches in the slips."
Anderson reserved special praise for a slip cordon that performed nigh on faultlessly throughout, most notably this morning when Paul Collingwood held two splendid catches off Anderson to account for Umar Gul and Shoaib Malik.
"I think that's probably the best performance from our slips - ever, really - that I've seen this morning," Anderson said. "It was fantastic. All the work they've been doing has paid off."
Anderson was also quick to share the credit with his fellow bowlers; Stuart Broad claimed 2-23 and Steven Finn 2-28 in a Pakistan second innings lasting just 29 overs.
"The way Finny and Broady bowled helped me at the other end," he said. "Obviously if they're giving away easy runs it's going to make it harder for me."
Finn was pleased with his five wickets in the game - he boasts 24 wickets at an average of 21.79 in five Tests - but knows there is still work to do.
"There were areas that frustrated me but I found it was nice to get back out there and take a few wickets," he said.
"It's been fantastic so far. It's great to come into a side that's been successful and winning games.
"I feel I've fitted in really well and I'm enjoying it but there's a lot of work to be done in the next three games to make sure we nail the series."
Broad accepts the match could have been a lot tighter had Pakistan performed as well as England in the field.
"Their bowlers, with a bit more luck, could have got through us a bit quicker," he said.
"Our catching behind the wicket was fantastic. The way they caught, especially Colly at first slip, was fantastic. If we can continue that we'll be in a really good place this winter.
"We're very focused on what we have to do. We have very clear plans and we executed them well in this Test match."

Jones and Graham[edit]
Was there evidence introduced to say that Jones definitely did have sex with Graham? The article states this as a fact, but I don't know of any evidence or testimony other than Jones' to say that it was true and not merely something he invented in order to make Zamora jealous. We need to make sure there's a basis for the statement before we say that it happened, as opposed to saying that he told Zamora it happened. Lawikitejana 15:35, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
IIRC, Graham and Jones did not have sex. Jones' hymen was still intact at her autopsy. I'll try to find where I learned that information; probably off Cold Case Files or American Justice Meinterrupted (talk) 04:50, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- David Graham stated he had sex with Adrian Jones when he drove her home from a track meet in Lubbock. Testimony at his trial showed he hadn't even driven her home. Even that part of his story was proven to be a lie.TL36 (talk) 21:28, 7 April 2012 (UTC)
Added polygraph info[edit]
Saw the re-run of the dateline documentary on MSNBC and think that the text I added, while it could use editing etc. is more complete (including offering detail on Zamora's new version of events)and appropriate than the one line: "she was questioned about her failed polygraph test" that was there before>
I don't know the answer Lawikitejana not ignoring your Q. (BTW I bet you mean "other than Grahams testimony not Jones' -- right?) Khan Noonian Singh 19:29, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
Redirect "David Graham" here?[edit]
There is a link to an uncreated "David Graham (murderer)" article on the David Graham disambiguation page. Should "David Graham (murderer)" be redirected here, or should there be a separate article created? I have changed the "David Graham" links to "David Graham (murderer)" on this page & 2 Cold Case pages. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.108.40.206 (talk) 13:07, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
- I don't think that David Graham is notable enough to merit his own article. If he did have an article, it would merely be a repeat of everything in this article, anyway. I think a redirect to this article is sufficient. Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro (talk) 19:27, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
I have stubbed this BLP due to a nearly complete lack of sources for the statements made here and a very clear lack of neutral lack of view. If anyone is interested in expanding it again, they should be careful to write neutrally and source carefully (read WP:VERIFY). Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 18:56, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

The Charge
"Licked by the janitor."
Opening Statement
While it's technically not the last season of Scrubs (it's coming back in December for a ninth season), this is the last incarnation of Scrubs as we know it. But it leaves the way it came in: goofy, funny, and sporadically touching.
Facts of the Case
Season Eight opens with the revelation that the one-time "scrubs" now have scrubs of their own. J.D. (Zach Braff) and Elliot (Sara Chalke) babysit the new students, while Doctor Cox (John C. McGinley) berates them relentlessly. Meanwhile, Turk (Donald Faison) and Carla (Judy Reyes) have a big announcement about the expansion of their family, Sacred Heart welcomes a hot, but crazy new boss (guest star Courtney Cox), the Janitor meets the love of his life, and Dr. Kelso can't let go.
Two Blu-ray discs and 19 episodes later, you have your first ever high-def set of a very funny show.
The Evidence
Though I haven't really put my money where my mouth is—Scrubs is indeed funny, but my familiarity with the series hearkens back to a Season One purchase a long time ago…and that's about it. For some reason, the show never made it into the Johnson family rotation, nor did we indulge in other DVD releases. Eight years later, here we go for what is essentially the final season.
My breakdown in quality-show-supporting discipline aside, this really is a funny show—weird, unorthodox, and a refreshing break from the typical three-camera setup. Six seasons have passed since I had last tapped into the Scrubs universe and (thankfully) leaping back into Season Eight was surprisingly effortless. I'm sure I missed out on a whole lot, like Elliot and J.D.'s romantic whirlwinds, Turk and Carla's road to domestic bliss, and Dr. Kelso's retirement. Also, J.D. has a baby son with Elizabeth Banks. Huh.
The big twist to this season is the addition of the new interns, who are hit-and-miss, as far as what they bring comedy-wise. The butch, callous girl who J.D. affectionately refers to as "Jo" (from The Facts of Life) and Aziz Ansari's disinterested intern are the high points, but the other peripheral characters aren't as memorable.
This is the headliners' show, and they're money. Braff sometimes comes off as too spacey, but he's still the funniest guy on the payroll…though I will entertain arguments that McGinley deserves the top spot. His Dr. Cox is awesome. In fact, the writers throw him some weightier stuff to run with, including moments with his family, ex-wife, and patients that works effectively in juxtaposition with his typical Alpha schtick. The storylines are amusing, highlighted by a two-parter in the Bahamas featuring a cursed Tiki Doll, and a heavy-duty finale which certainly feels like a series good-bye and not a lead-in to the ninth installment (which creator Ben Lawrence has admitted won't look much like the seasons that preceded it).
The show is served well in high-definition. Its 1.78:1 transfer is pristine, boasting a hugely noticeable kick in resolution, top-shelf colors, and detail work. The DTS-HD 5.1 Master Audio matches up well the high-performing video work, totaling in an excellent A/V presentation. Extras: episodic commentary, deleted scenes, bloopers, Scrubs: Interns webisodes, alternate lines, a nice documentary on the Bahamas arc, and an underwhelming Blu-only segment on Cox's series of female names for male employees. This set also features SeasonPlay, which is pretty awesome. After you create a profile name, the player keeps track of where you are in the season and picks up exactly where you left off. It's a simple concept, but convenient and sort-of-awesome.
Closing Statement
A funny array of episodes that's essentially bidding farewell to a nifty series. The Blu-ray set is the way to go.
The Verdict
500ccs of Not Guilty, stat!
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Scrubs: The Complete Eighth Season (Blu-Ray) a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

Skill Level Beginner
All right I'm still inside my Tonalpohualli.ai file that I opened in the previous exercise and if you were with me, you know that we converted this calendar layer into a tracing template by meatballing it, reducing its opacity value to 25%, and locking that layer down. Now that we've met the Tonalpohualli and I want you to meet the Shape Tools and these are them right here. Go ahead and click and hold on the Rectangle Tool, and then I want you to release on this tear off tab here, in order to get yourself an independent floating Shape Tools palette.
And here's the shape tools that are available to us. We've got the Rectangle Tool for drawing rectangles and squares. We've got the Rounded Rectangle Tool for drawing rectangles and squares with rounded corners. We've got the Ellipse Tool for drawing your ellipses and your circles. We've got the Polygon Tool that draws regular polygons by which I mean equilateral triangles, and squares, you know, it's one of them. And then you got your polygons and your hexagons and your septagons and your octagons and your nanogons and all your gons. It's a real gon tool.
And then this guy, the Star Tool which allows to, you know, draw regular stars, big surprise there. And then finally we have the Flare Tool. Now the Flare Tool isn't really a shape tool. It's not really a geometric shape tool. We will not be looking at it inside of this chapter, but I will tell you right now is that what it does, you basically have to draw an entire illustration. So set up your illustration in advance and then draw on top of it using the Flare Tool and then the Flare Tool lays down a bunch of different paths and automatically fills them in order to create a lens flare effect. Kind of a goofy tool, but it can be useful sometimes. Right now we're going to focus on these core shape tools that allow us to draw everything from the Rectangle Tool over to the Star Tool here and those are the tools that we're going to use to draw the shapes that make up the Tonalpohualli calendar here.
Notice over here in the Layers palette that we have a few additional tracing templates set up. That is I've set up a few additional tracing temples for you. There's the circles layer right here, which contains the circles, all the circles that we'll be drawing. There's the stars layer that contains all the stars that we'll be drawing. And then finally we'll draw a few rectangles. Not that many rectangles, you can just see that there's a couple in this template here, but when we get to the Rectangle Tool, we're going to do some other really fun things that are going to keep it challenging, keep it interesting, keep you on your toes and educated of course.
So why don't you for the moment, go ahead and turn off the rectangles and stars layer. Leave the circles layer on however, and why don't we go ahead and meatball this crazy guy and change its opacity value to something like 50%, so that we can limit its opacity, but also keep it nice and visible in front of the calendar here. And I'm going to go ahead and lock down the circles layer as well, and then I'm going to add a layer, the layer upon which we will be drawing, and I'll do that by clicking on the Create New Layer icon here and then I'm going to go ahead and double-click on this layer and call it My drawing or something along those lines, and I'm going to switch its color to my favorite layer color of all time, which is orange and the reason I like orange so much is that it stands out pretty nicely against other colors.
Just like those orange cones on the road. Those stand out pretty nicely too, don't you think, when you're driving and stuff. Anyway orange is one of those shout it out colors without screaming like yellow does. All right so I'm going to go ahead and click and then I'm going to drag yellow up the list. By the way, that's all my way of saying, Set it to any color you want to. If you like some of the color better, go for it. But make sure that the My drawing layer is active so that we can begin drawing on that layer in the next exercise.

Covering an area of 2,653 square kilometres (1,024 sq mi), Dorset borders Devon to the west, Somerset to the north-west, Wiltshire to the north-east, and Hampshire to the east. The county town is Dorchester which is situated in the south. After the reorganisation of local government in 1974 the county's border was extended eastward to incorporate the Hampshire towns of Bournemouth and Christchurch. Around half of the population lives in the South East Dorset conurbation, while the rest of the county is largely rural with a low population density.The county has a long history of human settlement stretching back to the Neolithic era. The Romans conquered Dorset's indigenous Celtic tribe, and during the early Middle Ages, the Saxons settled the area and made Dorset a shire in the 7th century. The first recorded Viking raid on the British Isles occurred in Dorset during the 8th century and the black death entered England at Melcombe Regis in 1348. Dorset has seen much civil unrest: during the English Civil War an uprising of vigilantes was crushed by Cromwell's forces in a pitched battle near Shaftesbury; the Duke of Monmouth's doomed rebellion began at Lyme Regis; and a group of farm labourers from Tolpuddle were instrumental in the formation of the trade union movement. During the Second World War, Dorset was heavily involved in the preparations for the invasion of Normandy and the large harbours of Portland and Poole were two of the main embarkation points on D-Day.Dorset has a varied landscape featuring broad elevated chalk downs, steep limestone ridges and low-lying clay valleys. Over half the county is designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and three-quarters of its coastline is a World Heritage Site that features notable landforms such as Lulworth Cove, the Isle of Portland, Chesil Beach and Durdle Door. Agriculture was traditionally the major industry of Dorset but is now in decline and tourism has become increasingly important to the economy. There are no motorways in Dorset but a network of A roads cross the county and two main railway lines connect to London. Dorset has ports at Poole, Weymouth and Portland and an international airport. The county has a variety of museums, theatres and festivals, and is host to one of Europe's largest outdoor shows. It is the birthplace of Thomas Hardy, who used the county as the principal setting of his novels, and William Barnes, whose poetry celebrates the ancient Dorset dialect.
Poole.-- seaport and market town, and co. in itself, Dorset, on a tongue of land on N. side of Poole harbour, 5 miles W. of Bournemouth, 30 miles E. of Dorchester, and 118½ miles SW. of London by rail - par. Poole harbour, an irregular inlet, 7 miles by 4½ miles, formed by the projection of the Isle of Purbeck, is one of the best harbours on the South Coast.A great base for visiting areas such as Weymouth, Swanage, Bournemouth, Christchurch, the New Forest and also the Isle of Wight with ferries from Lymington.

There isn't exactly an oyster gold rush, but because of the oil spill, Louisiana oyster farmers are migrating to cleaner areas.
The closure of many oyster farms in Louisiana is creating a huge demand for oysters.
Unfortunately, it's also making them more expensive.
Owners at two local oyster bars are trying to ensure the shucking doesn't stop.
Appalachicola is where local oyster bars like Hunts and Barrantines get their oysters; however, oyster bars in Louisiana are headed there also.
"65% of the oysters come from Louisiana," says Tim Reeves, owner of Hunt's Seafood Restaurant.
The oil spill has forced the closure of several historic oyster beds in New Orleans.
The most recent casualty was a 134-yr old oyster house.
"They come in here everyday asking if these have any oil in there and I say no. They're just concerned if it's being tested for oil," said DeWayne Bradshaw, employee at Barrantine's.
Both restaurants said their main goal is to keep the Appalachicola oyster business alive.
Because they aren't ready to say good bye to oysters just yet.

Janet and Dell Enable World Class Research Through Efficient Cloud Solutions
|Join the conversation. #DellCloud
- Cloud infrastructure, supported by Dell and VMware, allows Janet to sample secure external datacentre services to research and education institutions
- Improved flexibility and manageability shows the potential to cut internal IT staff workloads by reducing the time spent on deploying servers.
- Cloud project builds on long-standing, end-to-end customer partnership
Janet, the national, not-for-profit IT network for research and education in the UK, has harnessed services available through its Cloud and Data Centre Framework by piloting the deployment of Dell Cloud with VMware ® vCloud™ Datacenter Services. Janet Brokerage provides research and education partners with access to industry-leading, agile and resilient IT infrastructure at an affordable price, saving institutions considerable time and cost when procuring cloud-based resources.
By connecting its primary internal datacentre environment to the Dell Cloud, Janet has benefitted from an agile and secure hybrid environment. Janet's on-premise datacentre, which is primarily made up of Dell equipment, was shown to seamlessly interoperate with Dell's public cloud to deliver infrastructure resources and solutions to employees. The hybrid cloud means that internal IT staff can now transition virtualized workloads from the primary datacentre into the cloud and deliver new hosted services to staff. This supports collaborative working and enables greater flexibility in the delivery of new services.
With more than 18 million end-users from UK universities, further education colleges, research councils, specialist colleges and adult and community teaching providers, Janet's aim is to enhance research and education through IT. Following an initial consultation with Dell, which included a series of webinars, assessments and workshops, Janet is now able to offer employees IT resources that meet fluctuating resource demands, ensuring cost efficiency. By working in a hybrid model, the internal IT team can save resources on every server deployed in the Dell Cloud vs. the primary datacentre, enabling time and efforts to be refocused on delivering an improved service to customers.
The business has deployed multiple generations of Dell PowerEdge servers, and currently uses Dell PowerEdge R710s, many of which are used to host a virtualized environment utilising VMware vSphere™ 4.1 server software. These servers are connected to Dell EqualLogic PS4000E storage arrays and Dell PowerVault MD3200i storage arrays to ensure data is protected and easy to access. Dell PowerConnect 6224 switches are used to connect the storage to the servers, and the environment is backed up using a Dell CommVault™ solution with Dell PowerVault devices. In addition to standardising its virtualized datacentre with Dell, Janet has also deployed Dell KACE management appliances and Dell Latitude laptops to support mobile working. This latest project further demonstrates how Janet and Dell support research and education customers with enterprise-class infrastructure and solutions to push the traditional boundaries of teaching, learning and research methods.
"I started talking to Dell soon after we selected it as one of eight world-class cloud infrastructure suppliers on the new Janet Cloud and Data Centre Framework", said Peter Kent, Head of Corporate Infrastructure Services at Janet. "We already knew that Dell was running a pilot project for its cloud service and we wanted to join to put to the test services we're offering through our framework."
"Cost and operational efficiencies continue to be a primary concern for public sector institutions with regards to IT, and yet we encouragingly see an unfaltering commitment to innovation. At Dell, we understand the importance of security, interoperability and ease of management in on-premise, cloud-based and hybrid environments, and our expertise in the public sector is perfectly positioned to support education and research institutions across EMEA and beyond", said Claire Vyvyan, director and general manager – public sector at Dell. "Working with Janet to combine the expertise of our public services business and our cloud capabilities is an exciting opportunity for us."

I'm using Launch4J to start my Java application and if an x64 JRE is present on the system, Launch4J seems to prefer it.
Unfortunately my application cannot run on a 64 bit JVM because I'm loading a 32 bit DLL, which is not possible and leads to an UnsatisfiedLinkError.
Is there any way to force/trick Launch4J to use a 32 bit JVM only?

Poised to become the first franchise in professional sports to tally 10,000 losses, the Philadelphia Phillies are teetering on the brink of record-setting infamy. And a silver lining might seem hard to come by.
But I say there's always a bright side.
In this age of overconsumption, consumer mass collection and even competitive eating disorders, I think we've become a nation that actually has reason to be proud of our biggest losers. Underdogs and bullied bums are the easiest to love these days. And so today -- if only for a day -- I say we take a look at the list of sports' biggest losers and throw a party in the cellar of statistical standings to celebrate the worst franchises of all time.
You're losers, baby. And with our thumb and index finger sympathetically slapped to our foreheads, we salute you.

Look what the Philles have done to their fans ... they've lost their minds!
One might say the city of Philadelphia woke up on the wrong side of baseball's bed. The Philadelphia Quakers lost their first game on record, in May 1883, and went on to set the tone for Philly's future with a lackluster 17-81 inaugural season. It's been pretty much all down Phil from there.
The last time the Phillies' all-time franchise record was above .500 was in May 1922 -- stamps cost 2 cents, Reader's Digest was in its first year of circulation, and Herbert McLean Evans had just discovered a little substance called human growth hormone.
Unfortunately, it came too late to juice the Phillies' success rate.
From 1918 through 1948, the Phillies had only one winning season, and 14 100-loss seasons -- including five straight from 1938-42. That'll kill ya. Today, the Phillies' franchise record is frozen at 8,807-9,999. But with guys like Hall of Famer Mike Schmidt on their all-time roster, you wouldn't think of the Phils first and foremost as baseball's most horrible franchise, would you? Forget the 10-grand distinction. Keep your chin up, Philly.
(Other Philadelphia Phlops: The Philadelphia Athletics hold the distinction of posting the worst single-season winning percentage (.235) of the modern MLB era after going 36-117 in 1916. And the worst record in an 82-game NBA regular season (9-73) was racked up by the Philadelphia 76ers in 1972-73.)
NBA: The Clippers (1970-2007)
Though the setting has changed, the results have remained very much the same. The Clippers' incompetence has been proven from East to West, in three different cities -- starting in 1970 as the Buffalo Braves. The squad notched only 259 wins over eight seasons (656 games) in Buffalo. Their worst season there was 1972-73, when they won only 21 of their 82 games.
With futility in tow, the fellas shipped off to Southern California in 1978 for six seasons chock full of more suffering. The San Diego Clips tallied only 186 wins in their 483 games.
In 1984, the Clippers moved north to Los Angeles, but things were hardly looking up. They had to wait until 1991-92 for their first winning season in 13 years. And their stint as the other basketball team in Los Angeles includes the ugly 1986-87 eye sore of a 12-70 record. Even in Hollywood, that kind of pain hurts.
In their 37 years of existence as a franchise, the present-day L.A. Clippers have made only four playoff appearances. Their winning percentage from 1970-2007 is .368 (the overall franchise record: 1,104-1,898). Those figures are the third-worst in the NBA, behind only the expansion-franchise Bobcats and Grizzlies.

Cardinals fans are desperately hoping Matt Leinart can turn the franchise around.
The Cardinals are one of only two charter members of the NFL still in existence today, so it's no wonder their loss tally is pretty stout. But you'd think their win total would be considerable too, right? Think again.
The Cards have only two NFL titles to their credit. Their first came way back in 1925, by default (after a somewhat shady disqualification decision by the league). In the 20 years after winning that title, the Cards posted only two winning seasons. Their second championship came 60 years ago, against the Eagles in 1947 (just a little more salt in those Philadelphia wounds).
The roaring '50s were nothing of the sort for the Cardinals, who mustered only 33 wins in those 10 years. In 1960, the team moved from Chicago to St. Louis and managed to squeak out a winning decade, going 67-63-8. But that would mark the end of their winning ways. The Cruds have been sinking successively deeper with each decade since -- posting a .479 winning percentage in the '70s, .408 in the '80s and .363 in the '90s.
Arizona Cards 2K haven't fared any better. They kicked off the new millennium with a sparkling 3-13 record, and from 2000-07 they've won only 35 of 112 games. Some things never change.
I guess the Cardinals are what we thought they were.
(Note: The Bears are the only other NFL team that dates back to 1920. By comparison, the Bears have notched 655 wins to the Cardinals' 455 in as many seasons. That's 210 more wins.
NHL: The Blackhawks (1926-2007)
It's hard to find hockey experts these days, but most will argue that the Blackhawks are the worst franchise in the sport's history. (In fact, in its Ultimate Standings, ESPN The Magazine once named the Blackhawks the worst franchise in all of sports.)
But then again, those folks are probably just salty about the consistently dismal decisions of Hawks owner Bill Wirtz. And rightfully so. The guy refuses to reward Chicago's deep dish of hockey fans. He was once even quoted as saying that Stanley Cups are "too expensive."
Although the Hawks' stats aren't all that bad -- they made the playoffs in 28 straight seasons from 1970-97 and have 13 divisional titles to their credit -- they still get the nod for being the worst on ice. Here's why: Since joining the NHL in 1926, the Hawks have nabbed only three championships (in 1934, 1938 and 1961), meaning Chicago hasn't hoisted Lord Stanley's Cup in more than 45 years. (That's presently the NHL's longest drought.) And that doesn't even make sense, considering Chicago had Bobby Hull -- a.k.a. "The Golden Jet" -- for 15 seasons. The biscuit was in the basket, but the Cup was one-and-done in the Hull years.
Fast-forward to recent history, and Chicago fans still have reason to cry in their sweaters. In the seven years before the 2005 lockout, the Hawks missed the playoffs six times. In the two seasons since, the Hawks missed the playoffs both times.
Hey Chicago, at least you're not subjected to the misery on ice at home via television. That pesky local blackout is just the Wirtz family's way of looking out for you.

Love the concept, btw where can I get this suit? Or the suit name?
Will you be showing anymore artwork of your other character Jet? I thought she was pretty cool.
I loved her bodysuit *-*
Good stuff
Great character preview you have done here. The outfit is amazing and it it nice to see a character that isn't wearing 4 inch heels. You really did an amazing job on the bodysuit, and I am sure that she cusses you every time she has to lace those boots up!

Hi there, thanks for your great plugin 'SB Welcome Email Editor'.
It worked fine, but just upgraded today to Version 2.7 and tested but now the emails are coming in as (unknown sender)
Any ideas why?
Hi there, thanks for your great plugin 'SB Welcome Email Editor'.
It worked fine, but just upgraded today to Version 2.7 and tested but now the emails are coming in as (unknown sender)
Any ideas why?
Hi Ian,
Just left you a message on my site. Are the from name and email fields completed in the plugin settings. If so what do you have in there?
Hi Sean, thanks for your reply.
Yes, both those fields are filled in.
I tried the default settings for email using:
and also tried it with my normal email added in the field, but both get delivered to my gmail saying (unknown sender)
I thought maybe it was a conflict with "WP-Mail-SMTP" plugin which worked fine with your previous version:
But I deactivated that and it still gets sent with (unknown sender) :(
Kind regards, Ian
I am getting the same exact problem. :( I have tried using [admin_email] and also entering an email straight in. Sending out Unknown Sender
Right ok. give me a few minutes to run some tests and I shall get a new version out. Anyone fancy emailing me at email@example.com so I can send you some test versions to try? Skype perhaps (sean_barton). I don't get the issue locally.. going to try on one of my sites.
@Ian: Yes I use, and recommend, WP Mail SMTP myself but thought that if I am asking people to set the from name and address for the welcome email it does seem sensible to carry those changes across the entire site.
More shortly...
thanks and my apologies if this is causing any grief on your sites.
Hi, it wasn't working when I first tested and then I made a small change and it now does. I don't know if this might be the same issue as you guys are having but please give it a test and let me know. V2.8 checked into SVN a few moments ago.
thanks for the quick update! I will try it
You ROCK Sean :)
Great to hook up on Skype too. Version 2.8 has fixed the issue :)
Much appreciated, cheers, Ian

After taking the supplement, blood levels of the vitamin peaked in both groups, but they dropped more rapidly in the obese group. Their vitamin Dmeasurements were significantly lower in the obese even after 24 hours.
The study results suggest that obese individuals produce and absorb just as much of the vitamin as do lean people, but store it differently in the body. The researchers speculate that the increased fat stores the vitamin D, removing it from the bloodstream where it would be available for use. For this reason, overweight people may need to take a supplement.
"These findings did surprise us in a way because one would think that a person who is overweight would be less likely to have nutritional problems," says Wortsman, an endocrinologist and associate professor of medicine at Southern Illinois University in Chicago. "In uncomplicated obesity, this may not be a problem," he tells WebMD. "But in obese people placed on strict [diets], it could be a big problem." People who have undergone weight-reduction surgery, such as intestinal bypass procedures, already have trouble digesting fat; this problem may "exacerbate the vitamin deficiency ... and increase the risk of bone disease."
"I think this is cutting-edge work," says Hal Seim, MD, medical director of the Medical Weight Management Center in St. Paul, Minn. "Not only probably do obese people spend less time exposing their bodies to the sun, when they do, they seem to get less benefit," says Seim, who was not involved in the study. "The bottom line is that we probably should start supplementing our obese patients with vitamin D."
But Richard Dickey, MD, an endocrinologist in Hickory, N.C., sees these findings in a different light. "Obese patients do not have as much osteoporosis as other people," he tells WebMD. "Therefore, there must be other mechanisms involved [in maintaining their bones]."
Dickey, who is immediate past president of the American Academy of Clinical Endocrinologists, also points out research is pointing to more and more cases of vitamin D deficiency in the U.S. and Northern Europe. "We now have an epidemic of vitamin D deficiency in our elderly and possibly our younger people." Vitamin D deficiency in the young can also coincide with the peak time in bone formation as well.
