I would like to create a fake server farm using virtual machines with Ubuntu server on them. I do not plan to use those as a real farm to host people websites etc.
I recently read about scalability, the ability to add new servers to your website without having to hassle too much with the code. I would like to learn more about this, just out of curiosity, plus I'm planning a website that might require such things.
I would like to understand clearly how load balancers work, how a MySql query or http request can be sent to any of hundreds of servers to avoid pressure on a single one.
Even though I own a Core i7, it's clear that as I approach to 4-5 virtual machines things will collapse, so just for fun :)
I know it will not be easy to find a "tutorial on how to build your own server farm". So I'm asking here. Which tools do I require? Where can I find appropriate documentation (please not the unix "man")? Any link that will explain things better?
Thanks in advance.

After installing Bad Behavior 2.0.14 (and it works great, by the way), I noticed my dashboard slowed to a crawl. For a few days I thought it was just my host traffic, but then I started to investigate. Using Firebug's NET feature, the offending file is wp-admin/admin-ajax.php that is loading in 25-30 seconds.
when i finally thought of disabling BB - admin-ajax.php loads in normal time and the dashboard drops to about 3 seconds. I was not running BB in strict mode.
what exactly is the problem between these two - and are there any hacks that might help out? After BB (with akismet), my comment spam seems to have stopped completely. I dont want to giveup BB but the dashboard is certainly a pain in the butt..

Thanks for the additional space! I'm not sure why he has made this decision, only to say (without planting a "seed of expectation" - he works this way) that i would be pleasantly surprised. I would GREATLY appreciate someone enlightening me who has perhaps walked this path. I'm a little nervous about the outcome..and what he expects will happen. Thanks!
This question has also been asked and answered here: Klonopin vs Xanax - How are they different?
Answers (6)
P.S.. You probably will not need to take the klonopin as often as you took the xanax.

Hi John; " Without planting a seed of expectation " I believe that you, John,
will be pleasantly surprised and delighted. I have been taking Klonopin
for many years and it works very well. Best Wishes and let us know how
you are feeling. "No need to be nervous" at all.~~DD~~

Klonopin is more "stable", and stays in your system much longer than Xanax. I also switched from Xanax to Klonopin mainly because as the Xanax would "wear off", I would reach for an "extra dose" which was always making me come up short near refill time. And also because the "withdrawls" from Xanax are both brutal AND dangerous. I had 2 seizures from Xanax withdrawls, even if only 1 or 2 days going without. I am now "VERY FUNCTIONAL" on the Klonopin, and will "never switch back to Xanax". I went from Xanax 2Mg. 3 times a day to Klonopin 2Mg. "twice a day". It's a very easy transition, so don't be alarmed. Good Luck.

As a heatlhcare professional and a a person who has taken xanax for the same amount of time and dosage, you have received a little to much "ahppy" thoughts about the switch. There seems to be no real person who talks about your direct question. So, as a person who was switched 2 months ago, strangely right through the holidays, which in the medical field is a big RED FLAG, depression and a time that can be a stressful time for many was a shock.
As for me this is what I experienced. It is not that great if you want to hear the "all is well" talk. I have had a very uneasy feeling for these past two months. My moods have shifted and I have had some nervousness that I have not felt in decades. I am easy nauseated. Xanax would always take care of that and now I wake up with nausea on many mornings. Klonopin does nothing for this. This has a lot to do with our dosage we were on as well as the bio chemistry that has been changed in our CNS.
As a Ortho/Neuro surgeon it is very disheartening to have to deal with this. I am a doctor who is being treated as though my colleagues DES fears are more important than my well being. Xanax was prescribed to me and I can really say that it got me through medical school for I know I would not have been able to without it.
So to answer your question with a remedy is this. Unless you are also taking a prescription narcotic, there is no reason you cannot find another physician who understands your needs if you feel as though Klonopin is not for you. One thing I could tell you is that you can always use the very reason that I did and was put back on Xanax, it creates ED. You may look that one up This is only if switching physicians is not an option.
Remember this though, only you know what is working for you and what is not. If Klonopin is working for you it is a great switch. The lasting longer is purely metaphysical and partial psychological. If it were not than we would not be having this conversation. Xanax is stronger and lasts about the same with a half life of about 7.2 hours. So what I am saying is if you are uneasy and feel any symptoms from the pass, very hard to misidentify, do not hesitate to find the relief you deserve and you should never feel any guilt for doing so. If you are a better you on he Xanax vs.the Klonopin demand that you be allowed the relief you obviously managed well for 20 years.
Best Regards,
Dr. Spine
DrSpine, I do agree with what you're saying about the xanax being better for you as everyone is different. My mother had a seizure when swiched from xanax to klonopin. I started using benzos approximately 28 yrs ago and tried most all benzos and know a lot about benzos and do know klonopin is not good for everyone, especially if you need a fast acting benzo. I found this to be true with several people, but then again like we also know it works wonders for some. And yes xanax does help with nausea. I hope all is well with you. Good luck
Thank You for your response. Just as a note, and it was good one, seizures are very serious when switching. That is why I tell my patients, and as I did here in this forum, nobody knows yourself like you do. Speak out about the feelings you are having if indeed they are there. For this reason I also take an anti-seizure medication on days I do surgery. I work around the spine, so it is no place to get twitches.
Thank you for your comment and I send the best onto you as well.
Dr. K
I have been on xanax for 20 years. And it has worked very well for me. All of the sudden my doctor switched me to klonopin, it is not working out at all. Don't know what I'm going to do very upset about it. The Klonopin is not helping me with anxiety sleep , nausea. it's horrible

Dear johnFGEE,
Count yourself blessed that your doctor made this decision for you. I also have been on xanax for many years and have suffered countless granmal seizures due to over use and tolerance to alprazalam... I now have nuro brain damage due to these seizures... My last one was 37 minutes long and I died, luckely I was brought back by EMT on route to ER HOSPITAL. Praise GOD... Here is your probable answer to why your doctor changed you're meds... Clazapam has an 18-50 hour half-life , alprazalam has only " if your lucky" 8-12 hours half-life... The clazapam is a blessing to you and you DONT realize it yet... One thing... Kiss those Euphoria days over for a little while.. Clazapam comes on smooth and last many hours. Leaving you not having to reach out for your xanax bottle as soon as the euphoria effects wear off... Ease into it and one thing you MUST... KEEP IN MIND... " STAY OUT OF YOU'RE HEAD... you've been on benzos long enough to know what that means... Your gonna be greatful my friend.. Trust me... :-).. PS..ATTENTION... I AM NOT A DOCTOR, NOR CAN I GIVE OUT ANY MEDICAL ADVICE , ALL THAT I HAVE STATED HAS BEEN FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE ONLY... thankyou my friends.. And good luck!

After the Gold Rush (song)
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|"After the Gold Rush"
|Song by Neil Young from the album After the Gold Rush
|September 19, 1970
|March 12, 1970
|Folk rock
|Neil Young
|Neil Young
David Briggs
|After the Gold Rush track listing
"After the Gold Rush" is a song written, composed, and performed by Neil Young and is the title song from the 1970 album of the same name. In addition to After the Gold Rush, it also appears on Decade, Greatest Hits, and Live Rust.
The song considers environmental concerns using the form of a dream vision.[1] The three verses move forward in time from the past, to the present, and, finally, the future. In addition to Young's vocals, two instruments are used in the song: a piano and a Flugelhorn. The Flugelhorn solo in the middle of the song is often replaced by a harmonica solo by Young in live performances. The line "Look at Mother Nature on the run / In the 1970s" has been amended by Young in concert over the decades and is currently sung as "Look at Mother Nature on the run / in the 21st century."
Cover versions[edit]
The song has been covered numerous times. In 1973, it was interpreted by Prelude, whose version was a top 40 hit all over the globe, especially the United Kingdom where it re-charted in the Top 40 in 1982. Other versions have been performed by artists such as Thom Yorke, k.d. lang, The Flaming Lips, The King's Singers, Michael Hedges, Nena, and Natalie Merchant. Linda Ronstadt, Dolly Parton, and Emmylou Harris included it on their smash Trio II album in 1999 and were awarded a Grammy for their version. (Parton also released a solo version of the song in 1996, though her version altered the line "I felt like getting high" to "I felt like I could cry" with the permission of Neil Young.) During Radiohead's 2003 World Tour and 2012 Coachella Festival performance, Thom Yorke occasionally played this song solo, usually segueing into "Everything in Its Right Place." Patti Smith included it on her 2012 album, Banga. The song has also been covered in live shows by Tori Amos, Dave Matthews, Neil Finn during Crowded House's 2007 tour of the United States, and by Nana Mouskouri during her 1970s BBC show.
Dolly Parton once commented about the making of her version of the song: "When we were doing the Trio album, I asked Linda and Emmy what it meant, and they didn't know. So we called Neil Young, and he didn't know. We asked him, flat out, what it meant, and he said, 'Hell, I don't know. I just wrote it. It just depends on what I was taking at the time. I guess every verse has something different I'd taken.'"[2] The Trio version of the song was also released as a single, and while it received modest radio airplay, a video accompanying the song was very popular on a number of cable video outlets, including CMT.

With books like âCrossed,â âDicks,â and âGod Is Deadâ currently on the racks, the team at Avatar Press are clearly not holding anything back. This was the case at the Avatar Uncut panel during this yearâs New York Comic Con, which began with Simon Spurrier coughing up phlegm into the microphone.
Joining Spurrier on the panel were Mike Costa, Mike Wolfer, Justin Jordan, Caanan White, Kieron Gillen and Max Brooks. Publisher William Christensen opened the discussion by revealing several new projects on the horizon for Avatar Press.
âWe're gonna bring science fiction back,â announced Christensen to an ecstatic audience. âGarth [Ennis] is kicking off our new line of sci-fi books with âCaliban.ââ
In addition to Ennisâ work, Avatar will have three other science fiction titles on the racks starting next year; including âMercury Heat,â âNeuro-trashâ and âRed Shift.â
âIt's basically a cop show that's set in a science fiction future on Mercury,â said Gillen, writer of âMercury Heat." âEarth is kind of a utopia in the future. Mercury is basically where itâs paid for. It's basically Australia, but also a bit of the Wild West.â
ââNeuro-trashâ is about a future in which being young is considered disgusting,â Spurrier said about his sci-fi series. âThe only Americans that are left are immigrants that live in giant moving house cars. Itâs about drugs and living ideas and junkies with jetpacks.â
âRed Shiftâ is about the biggest bastard on Earth who becomes a bounty hunter in space,â said Avatar newbie Justin Jordan. The series is also said to revolve around âcelebra-soldiers,â who apparently film themselves during combat for money.
Moving on, Wolfer discussed Avatarâs plans to bring back âGravel - Combat Magicianâ with Warren Ellis attached as a co-writer.
âIt's typical Warren Ellis not written by Warren Ellis,â joked Wolfer, who will be penning the âGravelâ relaunch. âWe're exploring Gravel's military ties. The last previous 21-issue story was looking at the occult world of Gravel. So now that we know that part, we catch up with Gravel's military experience.â
Also on deck for Avatar are George R. R. Martinâs âIn the House of Wormâ and Max Brooksâ âThe Harlem Hellfighters,â which is based on the true story of an African-American military unit that existed during World War I.
âThis unit fought with the French and came home as one of the most decorated units during the war,â Brooks said about his new Avatar series.
âThey never gave them a chance,â added âUberâ illustrator Caanan White. âThey always had to prove themselves, but when they did they went above and beyond.â
Last but certainly not least, Christensen revealed Garth Ennisâ plans for his next âCrossedâ story arc.
âComing up in March will be Garth Ennis' return,â Christensen said. âHe's doing a new seven-issue arc that goes back to the beginning. He's giving us Patient Zero.â
With âCrossedâ being one of Avatarâs bestsellers, it comes as no surprise that the publishing company also plans on producing several live-action âCrossedâ webisodes written and directed by Ennis himself.
When asked by a curious fan if the company had any plans for feature films, the Avatar editor-in-chief assured worried panel attendees that they arenât in the business to make âpre-movies.â Theyâre in the business to make comic books.

Man denies trespass chargeSeptember 13,2013Local man denies
a trespass charge
A Castleton man with a burglary conviction denied breaking into his grandfathers home.
Christopher Dodge, 24, returned to Rutland jail after pleading innocent Thursday in Rutland criminal court to a felony charge of unlawful trespass.
Police said Dodge was found in the Castleton home of his grandfather in June. Affidavits state the grandfather had left the home and asked another grandson to watch the place because he feared Dodge would rob the place.
The grandson found Dodge in the house and called police, affidavits said. Dodge was on probation after serving one year in prison following a conviction for burglarizing a different Castleton home in 2011, records show.
Immediately after the June incident, Dodges probation officer ordered a drug test.

Historical Traveler Reviews BEST WESTERN PLUS Edgewater Hotel Seward
Very Unhappy with the hotel
Parking for the hotel was a block away. The room we got for $180 a night was shabby. No airconditioning and it was hot at the time we stayed. We opened the window but the bar across the street was very noisy, so we ended up closing the window.
Front desk service was unfriendly...no welcoming smiles...abrupt and cold front desk people. They have one computer which guests could use for internet access...when this stopped working, my daughter went to the front desk to let them know, and all she got was a shrug of the shoulder. We also asked for additional towels and these were delivered late with no friendly word by the front desk person. I definitely will not stay at this hotel again or recommend it to anybody.
The shuttle drivers were very friendly, though.
Keep looking
Not my favorite place to stay. After great cabins in Denali and great hotels in Anchorage, I was really disappointed in Hotel Edgewater in Seward. Our room faced the street and it was really hot. We didn't hear the people across the bar as much as we did the music pouring out of there til the wee hours of the morning.
We asked for a box fan from the front desk and they were helpful in meeting our needs. The problem with our street facing room was the people standing on the sidewalk, smoking or piling into cars and shuttle buses. We couldn't open our curtain or we'd be on display for the entire town.
The bathroom was dirty. Hair and paper was on the floor. It looked like it hadn't been cleaned. The shower curtain also smelled like a wet washcloth. I wouldn't recommend this hotel except for the location and the fact that our luggage was in our room upon arrival from the train and they also got our luggage to the train while we were on a tour.
Location is good.
The Edgewater rooms were clean and comfortable, but it was in the 80's when we were visiting and there was no air-conditioning in the rooms.
If the weather is hot avoid the rooms facing the mountains and ask for a room facing the ocean (alley). The mountain-view room we had opened onto the street, right near the hotel entrance. There was a bar across the street. It was so hot we had to keep our windows open and the drunks coming out of the bar at all hours of the night (and early morning) were really loud and obnoxious.
Not worth the $$
The best thing about the Edge water is the location, but that's it. Seward is a beautiful place, the hotel was the only sour part of our trip. It was nothing special for 200$ a night. Closet was way too small and there were not enough drawers, and seagulls (kittiwakes) shat on our balcony, which was above a dumpster.
It's OK
We stayed at the Edgewater for two nights. It's comfortable, clean, and okay, but just doesn't seem to have that extra edge that would make it a 'great' place to stay. The rooms were on the smallish side, but were fine. The continental breakfast was fine, but I find the disposal plates, cups, spoons, everything, a bit much in this day and age. I'm not sure it's cost effective to buy disposables as opposed to china, cutlery, a dishwasher and a few staff. And, in my opinion, pay the extra $$ for the rooms on the upper floors - avoid the rooms on the ground floor that are behind reception - the one we had opened onto the street right near the hotel entrance, and unless you like everyone looking in at you when they pass, you can't open the curtains. We had a problem with our plumbing (blocked toilet) one night; the maid said she'd advised maintenance, but when we checked, they'd all gone home. We were given the plunger to do the job ourselves. It worked, but not what you expect from a hotel like this. To their credit, they did give us a credit on our account, but they need to improve their internal communications.
My favorite in the area
I stayed at this hotel a while back, and really enjoyed it. It has a more modern feel, and seemed to be the nicest of the hotels in the area (I've stayed in two others). I paid extra for the bay view, which was totally worth it. My room was basic and comfortable, and had a VCR (video store and pizza place in close proximity helped provide entertainment for one evening). Close walking distance to shops and attractions. Gift shop attached to hotel, where you can get many convenience items.
Enjoyed our stay!
We recently stayed at the Hotel Edgewater for 3 nights. The room was comfortable, nicely furnished, very clean and quiet. Our room opened onto the atrium/lobby, but this did not seem to be a problem...no additional noise, etc. The shuttle to the Kenai Fjords Boat Tour was very convenient, dropping us off at the door and returning us promptly at the end of the tour. The continental breakfast was the best I experienced during our entire trip in Alaska, great variety and an attendant to refill items and assist if needed. I definitely recommend the Hotel Edgewater.
Great view
We did have a room with a full bay view and that's wonderful. It's a very basic hotel and very cheaply built. When a toilet flushes in a room above it sounds like you have your very own waterfall in the room.
I've never heard anything like it. It's terribly over-priced in-season for what you get but I guess that's market driven.
Cozy and modern!
Everytime we go to Seward we stay at Edgewater. It's right on the water and the view is absolutely gorgeous! Ask for a room with a view. You'll pay a bit more, but it's completely worth it! You can open up the sliding glass door, step out onto the balcony and breathe in the fresh ocean air! The hotel is right across the street from the Alaska Sealife Center and minutes from the best place in Alaska to eat lunch-- Ray's.
They have wonderful halibut sandwiches. A day cruise with Kenai Fjords is absolutely essential, as well as a trip to Exit Glacier. You can hike right up to it.
Great Place to Catch the Cruise
A lovely find early in the tourist season. Quiet, clean and comfortable. The room was on an interior hallway with piped in outdoor fresh air.
Staff was helpful and knowledgeable. A shuttle to the cruise and boat docks helped in planning the day. I would have enjoyed a coffee shop-lunch cafe on sight.
Having an easy-access computer in the lobby-gift area was plus!
Would choose them again.

New Ways to Treat Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis seems to damage the central nervous system at a pace faster than the body's own repair mechanism can keep up. In an attempt to find new approaches to treat the disease, scientists are exploring techniques to give the repair process a boost.
An important area of research focuses on ways to help the body regenerate a fatty substance called myelin, which is damaged by attacks brought on by MS patients' own immune system. Myelin protects nerve fibers, or axons, much like insulation on electrical wire. Currently, the principal treatment for MS is with medications that aim to slow the disease's progression, but don't help repair the damage.
Multiple sclerosis is a chronic, inflammatory condition that can be disabling in advanced stages. The disease affects an estimated 400,000 people in the U.S. While typically not fatal, it can cause an array of debilitating symptoms, including fatigue, vision problems and even paralysis.
Scientists are tantalized by signs the body can create new myelin. Bruce Trapp, head of the neurosciences department at the Cleveland Clinic's Lerner Research Institute, has studied myelin for decades by dissecting brains of deceased MS patients. "We know the MS brain can repair its lesions," or areas of damage, says Dr. Trapp, who founded a small start-up company Renovo Neural Inc., that is trying to grow and activate cells that create myelin.
Myelin-rebuilding research is in the early stages and there is a long road ahead to prove it could work safely in people—it hasn't progressed beyond rodents. Researchers believe it will be important to replace myelin soon after it's damaged, and before harm to nerve fibers has advanced too far.
Research on other MS treatment strategies could yield results first. MS often requires lifelong treatment, and MS drugs brought in more than $8.7 billion in 2009 revenue worldwide, according to Bernstein Research.
Biogen Idec Inc., a Cambridge, Mass., biotechnology company has a big business in MS drugs and is now targeting myelin repair. Biogen biologist Sha Mi discovered a molecule dubbed "Lingo-1" that Biogen believes stops myelin production in adults after axons are well covered. After years of work Biogen researchers found an antibody in 2007 that they believe can safely turn off Lingo-1, and allow myelin regeneration. Biogen plans to launch its first study on humans soon.
Some researchers, though, are wary of any steps that shut off potentially important processes. Likewise, artificially boosting myelin production could trigger unexpected side effects.
While people with MS produce new myelin, the rebuilding effort often doesn't keep pace with the damage, and the efficiency of that process decreases with age even in healthy adults.
In patients with the disease, debris created when myelin falls off can bog down the system, and in the progressive-disease stage many patients enter into a feedback loop of chronic inflammation.
Peter Calabresi, director of the Johns Hopkins Multiple Sclerosis Center in Baltimore, is screening already approved medicines, as well as unsuccessful drugs shelved by developers, to see if they can help the cells that grow myelin—oligodendrocyte progenitor cells—develop more efficiently. Finding that an already approved drug, such as an antidepressant, works would be helpful because the side effects are already understood.
Anna Williams, a neurologist at the University of Edinburgh Multiple Sclerosis Centre in Scotland, has focused on trying to direct oligodendrocytes to damaged areas. She and other researchers are also working to trigger those cells to make myelin, which is another important step.
Another approach to fighting MS in the research stage: stem cells transplant. Steven Goldman, head of the cell and gene therapy division at the University of Rochester Medical Center, used this technique to successfully remyelinate the entire nervous system of mice born with no myelin. Such mice usually live four or five months, but some of the mice he treated recovered all neurological function and achieved normal life expectancy.
While promising, this approach presents limitations for MS patients who would likely need repeated transplants. The treatment makes more sense initially for children born without myelin due to a rare genetic disorder, Dr. Goldman says.
"Stem-cell transplant in MS has been historically attractive, but has been overtaken by our understanding of how remyelination works and the potential of the brain's own stem cells," says Robin Franklin, who heads a neural stem cell program at the University of Cambridge in England.
According to Howard Weiner, who directs the Partners Multiple Sclerosis Center at Boston's Brigham and Women's Hospital, there are more leads right now aimed at shutting down the early part of the disease than on repairing damage.
"My own personal view is that I think we're better attacking the pathologic processes that are causing it as opposed to rebuilding after it's happened," Dr. Weiner says.

|CJKAnalyzer - does it work?
|Thu, 15 Jun 2006 11:30:18 GMT
Hi, I have a very simple example. An IndexWriter (Lucene 1.9.0) with CJKAnalyzer (latest version as of today). A Chinese friend of mine as given me a sentence and a word that appears in that sentence, eg: "C1C2C3C4C5C6C7C8" where the word is "C3C4". Here's code segment: IndexWriter writer = new IndexWriter(directory, new CJKAnalyzer(), true); Document doc = new Document(); doc.add(new Field("name", " C1C2C3C4C5C6C7C8", Store.YES, Index.TOKENIZED)); writer.addDocument(doc); writer.optimize(); writer.close(); IndexSearcher searcher = new IndexSearcher(directory); Hits hits = searcher.search(new TermQuery(new Term("name", "C3C4"))); This returns no hits. I've also tried with the ChineseAnalyzer too, but still no good. It still works fine for English though. Anyone know how to get this working?

Have been building my photography site's store using the Image Store plugin 2.2.2 and styling was going well.
Installing 3.0.0 and there are many problems:
1.) the page template seems to have changed and galleries are now picking up a template that includes widgets I use in the blog section of the site. This in turn knocks out all the styling changes I'd done and packaged into a custom plugin. The page template for galleries needs to be either selectable, or reverted back to whatever 2.2.2 was configured for.
2.) opening images in the store appear in either a browser window for just the image or the WordPress image page. What happened to the lightbox?? This is (in my opinion) is a massive step backward and one of the biggest reasons I immediately downgraded to 2.2.2
3.) generally, a fair amount of the CSS elements I'd been identifying with FireBug and styling as I needed them to be for my site, all seem to have been removed as most of the plugin packaged styles I'd created don't seem to apply anymore. The plugin out of the box needs to be styled and a responsible way to do this is outside of the plugin code itself to ensure that updates don't overwrite the style changes. Backward compatibility would be nice to have here or I'm looking like having to start all over again (assuming the above two points are resolved).
Don't get me wrong, this is a GREAT plugin and has enabled me to save a fair amount of money hosting my own site rather than paying for a templated product for the job. It's also a plugin I'd be very happy to pay for (with some of the above mentioned savings), but with an upgrade like this completely breaking all the hard work I'd done to integrate it into my sites style I'd now think twice before parting with any money.
Hope this all gets resolved, until then I'll have to stick with 2.2.2
Best regards,

BBC sees a big jump in Iplayer traffic
Christmas is a time for watching TV
THE BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION (BBC) has reported its Iplayer figures over the holiday period and boasted of a big increase in viewing over the same period last year.
This Christmas was the Iplayer's fifth birthday, and it celebrated it in style. There were 6.7 million requests for TV programmes alone made on 1 January. The highpoint last year was 5.4 million on 2 January.
According to a blog post from the BBC, 77 million requests for TV and Radio programmes were made between 22 December and 1 January. Doctor Who, with around 1.5 million views, was the most requested show, second was Eastenders and third was the sitcom Miranda.
New devices like tablet computers helped the BBC and it said that people must have been gifted with media capable hardware over the holiday period.
"It appears the UK was particularly generous with gifts this Christmas! We've witnessed a significant spike in users installing Iplayer on new tablets and smartphones with devices such as the Nexus 7, Ipad and Kindle Fire HD proving popular," says the post by Dave Price, head of BBC Iplayer.
"Throughout the festive period we saw more and more viewers accessing programmes on mobiles, tablets and internet-connected TVs."
On Christmas Day traffic on tablets increased by 40 percent and on mobile phones 66 percent. The Iplayer app was downloaded 300,000 times on 25 December and one million times over the period.
Overall most viewers watched Iplayer content via a PC, second was a mobile device, third a tablet and fourth an IP enabled television.
There are some differences in what was watched on which device, and while Dr Who was popular across all the main three, Eastenders was the big draw for people using Iplayer on smartphones. µ

Otago all-rounder Jimmy Neesham may have forced a change to

By DAVID E. SANGER and FRANK BRUNI
Published: January 14, 2001
CRAWFORD, Tex., Jan. 12— President-elect George W. Bush said today that he planned to review and possibly roll back some of the most ambitious initiatives that President Clinton has taken in recent days, including regulations that put nearly 60 million acres of the nation's forests off limits to development.
''I understand the Western mentality, and I want the Western mentality represented in this administration,'' Mr. Bush said of his own land use policies. In an interview, he emphasized that ''we've got lawyers looking at every single issue, every single opportunity'' to reverse actions Mr. Clinton has taken in the waning weeks of his presidency.
He also described what could well become a new, tougher approach toward Russia, limiting aid for its conversion to a market economy, and he elaborated on several other foreign policy issues. Previewing one of the most closely watched decisions he will face in his first month in office, he signaled that he was inclined to use an executive order to stop the flow of American money to any international organizations that provide abortions in foreign countries.
''Organizations that promote abortions are organizations I don't want to support'' with American taxpayer dollars, Mr. Bush said.
Mr. Bush's remarks came in a 75-minute interview in his renovated farmhouse here, followed by less formal conversation during a 90-minute tour of his ranch and a hike up a limestone canyon to his favorite waterfall. [Excerpts, Page 22.]
Along the way -- stopping at moments to admire the middle fork of the Bosque River rushing through his land or to point out a buzzard -- the man who will become the 43rd president of the United States on Saturday also talked about his legislative priorities, his Inaugural Address and the diplomatic troubles he anticipates with Moscow and Beijing over his plans to deploy a national missile defense system.
Mr. Bush was dismissive of the Clinton administration's eight-year-long use of direct financial aid to Russia, part of a broad Western effort to coax the country toward a market economy. He suggested he would try to stop the money -- except for that used to dismantle nuclear weapons -- until Vladimir V. Putin, the Russian president, cleaned up corruption and enacted far-reaching economic and legal reforms.
''It's hard for America to fashion Russia,'' Mr. Bush said. ''It just seems like to me that we don't want to be lending money and/or encourage the lending of money into a system in which the intention of the capital is never fulfilled,'' he said. ''The intent of the capital was to encourage entrepreneurship and growth and markets.''
According to the General Accounting Office, the United States has spent roughly $2.3 billion since 1992 promoting democracy, the rule of law and market reforms in Russia, but the annual disbursements have tailed off steeply since the Russian financial crisis of 1998. The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, institutions in which the United States is the largest single shareholder, have issued loans to Russia over the same period worth approximately $30 billion.
Taken together, Mr. Bush's comments amounted to a sketchy road map for his first 100 days in office. By making it clear that he would rigorously review Mr. Clinton's environmental orders and suggesting he might reverse the Clinton administration's position on aid to family planning groups working overseas, he was embracing some favorite causes of his conservative base, especially the Western states he called ''that big swath of red on the map'' -- a region of contiguous states he swept as he took the presidency in the narrowest of victories.
In the case of reversing President Clinton's forest policy, which was made final this month, after years of painstaking review and public comment, Mr. Bush would face many legal restraints. He acknowledged that his lawyers would have to look carefully at what options were open.
His comments on Russia, if converted into policy, could lead to a fundamental change in the way the United States seeks to influence the behavior of a nation that was once its chief superpower rival -- and it risks heightening suspicions in Russia of how America is leveraging its economic and military power.
In the interview, Mr. Bush also made the following points:
*He said his Inaugural Address, which he hopes to keep to a short 12 minutes, would carry the message that ''we can be a unified America.'' But he insisted that this theme was not the product of his slim victory in the Electoral College and loss in the popular vote.
*Mr. Bush said he planned to quickly introduce his plan to cut taxes by an amount now estimated at $1.6 trillion over the next 10 years as a single bill, perhaps modifying it to deepen the tax cuts in the next few years so that it could spur a slowing economy. Asked if he was willing to negotiate the size of his proposed tax cut with a sharply divided Congress, he shot back: ''The answer is no. I think it's the right number.''
*He suggested he might be willing to pick up on Mr. Clinton's framework for a deal with North Korea to control its production and export of missiles but said it must include provisions to ''verify that they are upholding their end of the agreement.'' If North Korea no longer threatens its neighbors, he said, he would ''take a look'' at reducing American troops on the Korean Peninsula, but only in consultation with South Korea and other Asian allies.

Turkey pushed on Saturday with a sweeping crackdown against suspected plotters of its failed coup, defiantly telling EU critics it had no choice but to root out hidden enemies. Using new emergency powers, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's cabinet decreed that police could now hold suspects for one month without charge, and announced it would shut down over 1,000 private schools it deems subversive. A week after renegade soldiers tried to oust him with guns, tanks and F16s, Erdogan's government has detained over 13,000 people it suspects are state enemies, mainly soldiers but also police, judges, teachers and civil servants.
The teenager who shot dead nine people in a gun rampage in Munich was "obsessed" with mass killers like Norwegian rightwing fanatic Anders Behring Breivik and had no links to the Islamic State group, police said Saturday. Europe reacted in shock to the third attack on the continent in just over a week, after 18-year-old David Ali Sonboly went on a shooting spree at a shopping centre on Friday in what appears to have been a premeditated attack, before turning the gun on himself. Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said the teenager had likely hacked a girl's Facebook account and used it to lure victims to the McDonald's outlet where he began his rampage.

Four gold medals and two silver in London in 2012 seemed a fitting enough finale to a career that peaked with Phelps's stunning eight-gold performance in Beijing.
By Mark Hosenball WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Recent attacks on civilians in the U.S. and Europe have exposed a gap in the intelligence community's efforts to track suspected extremists and prevent mass killings, a half dozen American, British and French counterterrorism officials told Reuters. The attacks have a common theme of being carried out by actors with an apparent history of mental illness - but few if any direct links to extremist groups, the officials told Reuters. From both a legal and a strategic perspective, counterterrorism investigators globally are focused on plots by established violent groups with known ideologies, such as Islamic State.
A cache of leaked emails from Democratic party leaders' accounts includes at least two messages suggesting an insider effort to hobble Bernie Sanders' upstart campaign, a revelation that threatens an uneasy truce within the party. The release Friday of more than 19,000 emails sent and received by seven top Democratic National Committee officials, by anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks, comes at a time when the party is anxious to project an image of unity. It also threatened to overshadow Hillary Clinton's first joint rally Saturday with her newly-named running mate, Tim Kaine, two days before the Democratic Party Convention kicks off in Philadelphia to officially crown the White House nominees.
By Amanda Becker and John Whitesides MIAMI/WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrat Tim Kaine made his first appearance on the campaign trail as Hillary Clinton's vice presidential running mate on Saturday, touting an optimistic view of America and leaping to attack Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump's record. Joining Clinton at a rally in the battleground state of Florida, the bilingual Kaine peppered Spanish-language phrases into a speech focused on introducing himself to voters unfamiliar with the low-key U.S. senator from Virginia. Kaine criticized Trump's recent suggestion he might not honor U.S. security commitments to NATO in Europe, and the real estate mogul's history of casino bankruptcies and founding the failed Trump University.
Turkey has detained a senior aide to the US-based cleric Fethullah Gulen whom it blames for the coup attempt aimed at ousting President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, an official said on Saturday. Security forces detained Hails Hanci in the Black Sea province of Trabzon, the official said, describing Hanci as a "right-hand man" of Gulen and responsible for transferring funds to him. Gulen denies being behind the failed coup.
Ivo Karlovic, seeking back-to-back titles on different surfaces at age 37, advanced to the ATP and WTA Washington Open finals on Saturday by defeating US fifth seed Steve Johnson 6-4, 6-4. "It was really hot," Karlovic said. Karlovic, who won his seventh career ATP title last week on Newport grass to become the oldest tour singles champion since 1979, will play Sunday's final against the winner of a later match between 19-year-old German seventh seed Alexander Zverev and French second seed Gael Monfils.
MUNICH (AP) — The gunman whose rampage at a Munich mall left nine people dead was a depression-plagued teenager who avidly read books and articles about mass killings and apparently tried to lure young victims to their deaths through a faked Facebook posting, authorities said Saturday.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — When Tony Stewart dreamed about winning at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, he never contemplated saying goodbye.
TORONTO (AP) — Mariners hitting coach Edgar Martinez is away from the team this weekend so he can watch friend and former teammate Ken Griffey Jr. be inducted into the Hall of Fame on Sunday.
By Gareth Jones and Ercan Gurses ISTANBUL/ANKARA (Reuters) - President Tayyip Erdogan tightened his grip on Turkey on Saturday, ordering the closure of thousands of private schools, charities and other institutions in his first decree since imposing a state of emergency after the failed military coup. Turkish authorities also detained a nephew of Fethullah Gulen, the U.S.-based Muslim cleric accused by Ankara of orchestrating the July 15 coup attempt, the Anadolu state news agency reported. A restructuring of Turkey's once untouchable military also drew closer, with a planned meeting between Erdogan and the already purged top brass brought forward by several days.
Tim Kaine made a big splash Saturday in his first appearance as Hillary Clinton's running mate for the White House, savaging Donald Trump's foreign policy ideas as dangerous and wowing a Miami crowd with fluent Spanish. Kaine, a 58-year-old senator from the battleground state of Virginia, won many a cheer and laugh and frequent applause as he addressed a campaign rally one day after being tapped for the Democratic ticket. Clinton beamed as she sat behind Kaine during his rousing and well-delivered speech, after introducing the political veteran as the antithesis of the Republican ticket of Trump and Mike Pence.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Delegates to the Democratic National Convention are giving mostly positive reviews to Hillary Clinton's choice for vice president, saying Virginia Sen. Time Kaine will appeal to moderates but do little to soothe disenchanted Bernie Sanders supporters.
The Turkish authorities will disband the elite presidential guard after detaining almost 300 of its members in the wake of the failed coup, Prime Minister Binali Yildirim said on Saturday. There will no longer be a presidential guard, there is no purpose, there is no need," Yildirim said, speaking to A Haber channel. Members of the guard were part of a group that entered the state broadcaster TRT during the coup, Yildirim said.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Kyle Busch pulled off a rare trifecta Saturday.
MINSK, Belarus (AP) — Prominent journalist Pavel Sheremet, who died when his car was bombed in Ukraine, has been buried in his hometown of Minsk, Belarus.
COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) — Baseball's Hall of Fame has again revamped its veterans' committees, attempting to increase consideration for more contemporary players, managers, umpires and executives.
Nico Rosberg rode his luck to grab pole position for Sunday's Hungarian Grand Prix ahead of Mercedes team-mate Lewis Hamilton in a prolonged qualifying session punctuated by rainstorms and red flags. The championship-leading German produced a fastest lap of one minute and 19.965 seconds at the end of a session stretched to nearly two hours by heavy rain and crashes in the hazardous conditions on the twisting Hungaroring circuit on Saturday. Defending three-time champion Hamilton, who is just one point behind Rosberg after 10 of this year's 21 races, was 0.143 seconds behind his rival as the pair secured their team's sixth front-row lockout of the season.
KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Just before the funeral of a detective who was killed by a fleeing suspect in May, the police chief of Kansas City, Kansas, asked one of his trusted veterans, Capt. Robert "Dave" Melton, to craft a how-to manual for holding a slain officer's funeral in case the department ever needed to do so again.

Fifty Shades of Grey keeps up with the promises
Reviewed: 16 May 2016 by Itellyoutocum, a Straight Engaged Male
When I first showed this to my fiance she freaked out! Hahaha She swore up and down this GD thing is not fitting inside her. I explained it was a massager and she still didn't understand.
A few days later her tied to the bed, ass raised by a pillow, and few towels laid under her. I've got her to squirt before, but this night was meant for something more.
I had an anal vibe going in her in the 69 position. As I removed a russy pump, I reached for a Lelo and had a dp running as this Holy cow massager came in for the finishing touches.
Let's just say the four layers of towel still didn't save the pillow from needing a wash.
This bad boy can give a nice back massage, and does wonders making her shake in the thighs.
Highly recommended for starters. Now she wants more, so I'm looking into the more costly magic wand.
- Pros
- Very elegant design, as expected of Fifty Shades of Grey products. Easy charge, easy clean.
- Cons
- For the price it is a bargain. No complaints.
- Bottom line
- She may be intimidated at first, but use it right and she begs for it.

Holy cow, it's amazing!
Reviewed: 18 April 2016 by sexytime87
My partner had a look round on Lovehoney and found some bits he wanted to buy. He then saw that if you spent over a certain amount that you got the FSOG Holy Cow! wand for free. So he bulked up on other bits and managed to spend enough to get the wand free with the order.
Now, I already had s Lovehoney wand and I didn't think this was going to be much different. The main thing that we were excited for was the fact that it was rechargeable, instead of having that big mains wire in the way during play. Another thing that was different was the head. The one on our previous wand moved slightly to make things more flexible, but the FSOG Holy Cow! one did not move. We were intrigued to see what the FSOG one was like and couldn't wait to see any differences.
When our parcel arrived in its discreet packaging, we found the Holy Cow! hiding in the corner. The packaging was lovely. It had a picture of the wand on the front and the always distinctive grey tie. Inside the box we found the wand lying in a moulded plastic holder. And there as also an instruction leaflet. Now, I did see in the reviews that someone said they didn't get any instructions. I'm not sure that was just a one-off because I had mine in the box.
The instructions were pretty basic but there isn't much to work out on the toy. It does say that before using put it on charge. This was easy to do, just slide the pin into the bottom of the wand and plug it in. Charge it for 2 hours and then it is ready to go. With all vibrating toys, I always turn them on before using them to see how loud they are and also to get a feeling of how powerful they are. This wand seemed to me like it was fairly quiet, even on the highest setting.
The toy is easy to turn on just hold the plus button for a few seconds and it springs into life. Then to turn up the vibrations hold the plus button. The middle button changes the mode of vibration so just flick through to find the best one for you. Then to turn off the wand just press and hold the minus button. It does take a little while to turn off but just hold the button and it will go off. Also to turn down the vibrations just use the minus button and get the right vibration power.
There are 8 different modes to choose from on this toy, which is a good selection. For me, I prefer to have a continuous vibration and I always crank it up to the highest setting. I found that it was amazing. The super soft silicone just slid around and felt so comfortable. I did have a good quality water-based lube on me and the toy so I didn't feel any friction.
This toy really does do a good job it only took a few minutes on my first go to cum. It was glorious, and to top it off my partner enjoyed watching me play and enjoy myself. The wand is amazing and I find it much better than the other wand we have got. This is because we didn't have to contend with the mains wire getting in the way or even restricting us.
Another plus to this wand is the fact that we got a FSOG red storage bag to pop the wand into when it wasn't in use. It keeps the toy clean and fresh ready for the next play time. Even better plus to this is the fact that it is waterproof so we aren't just limited to using this in the bed, we can use it in the shower or bath. Also, it makes it so much easier to clean by not having to make sure that no water gets anywhere it shouldn't. Cleaning is really easym just use some anti-bacterial toy cleaner and wash it under warm water.
I would recommend this to anyone wanting to get a wand I don't think that you can go wrong. You may feel that the price is too steep but I think it is worth every penny. I know we didn't pay for it but I would happily pay for one. It can be used by anyone as there are lots of different vibration modes so you can choose one that is right for you.
- Pros
- The style of the wand and the powerful vibrations.
- Cons
- There was nothing we found not to like.
- Bottom line
- A really well made wand to suit everyone.

Amazing joint pleasure sex toy
Reviewed: 3 April 2016 by Bubblybrunette, a Straight Married Female
I ordered this toy as I really liked the way that it had been designed and the fact that it was rechargeable, as let's face it there really isn't anything worse than when the batteries run out.
It's made from a beautiful soft silicone that feels so smooth on any part of the body.
I'll admit that although the toy was bought for us to play together, I couldn't resist a little preview. OMG, the feeling on any part of the body is quite intense, needless to say we enjoyed several hours of mutual pleasure.
Thank you, Lovehoney.
- Pros
- How soft and silky the silicone is on the skin.
- Cons
- No instructions in the box.
- Bottom line
- 10 out of 10. Best money I've spent on any sex toy.

We probably know less than 1% of the entire picture of allergic diseases or responses, Robert R. Kierland, MD, of the Section of Dermatology at Mayo Clinic, told the meeting of the American College of Allergy, March 1 to 6 in Bal Harbour, Fla. Kierland explored the etiology and pathogenesis of atopic dermatitis, contact dermatitis, and urticaria.
"The basic cause of atopic dermatitis remains an enigma—while the clinical appearance has been known for generations under this or other titles, we know little of the reasons why such patients react as they do," Kierland said. Yet, we have identified differences between the atopic person and the non-atopic person. These differences are variously interpreted by authorities, however. "Atopic dermatitis is characterized clinically by itching, which precedes visible cutaneous changes, chronicity, eczematization in infants, lichenification and dryness of skin in adults, site predilection (face, neck, and flexors), allergic, climatic, and emotional influences, and

I will be spotty today in visiting the board. Here are my thoughts so far (I will elaborate further after the draft concludes):
1. In my draft, seeing DeCastro fall to number 22, I pushed from that point forward (picks 22 and 23) to use a third rounder this year, or similar compensation, to make that move forward. So, if I was running the team, and there was a trade partner, first round David DeCastro. He was the highest graded player on my board.
2. According to my draft board, the top player available in the second round was Mohamed Sanu.
3. Third Round given up for the DeCastro pick.
However, let's play out the "there was no trade partner" scenario:
1. Peter Konz- highest on my board
2. Mohamed Sanu- highest at 61
3. Brandon Thompson-highest at 92.
I would not have traded down from 92, but stuck with Thompson, since he was by far the best player remaining on my board.
The best players on my board right now. One of these guys would be the selection if the Niners stay their high fourth rounder.
Brandon Boykin
Alameda Ta'Amu
Overall, this appears to be a clunker draft for the team right now. I don't see the impact from these two players so far.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
The ABCs of Vitamins
Folic Acid
One of the most important B vitamins is folic acid. In 1991, new research found that women taking supplemental folic acid before pregnancy had fewer birth defects such as spina bifida in their unborn children. The next year, the U.S. Public Health Service recommended that women in their childbearing years increase their intake of folic acid from 180 to 400 micrograms a day.
A recent Food and Drug Administration study also found a possible link between children with Down's syndrome and low levels of folic acid in their mothers during pregnancy. "It's been the most amazing breakthrough in pregnancy in the whole century," says Elizabeth Ward, a registered dietitian and author of Pregnancy Nutrition.
Vitamin E
Popeye ate spinach -- rich in vitamin E -- to boost his strength. But vitamin E has a racier reputation. Its chemical name, tocopherol, comes from the Greek word meaning "to bear offspring" -- a reference to its reputation for improving sexual prowess.
"It was sort of the naughty vitamin," says Jeffrey Blumberg, PhD, a professor of nutrition at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University in Boston.
In the 1990s vitamin E has been revealed as a powerful antioxidant as well. In 1993, researchers from Harvard University found that those who took vitamin E reduced their risk of heart disease by nearly 40 percent, says Meir Stampfer, MD, a researcher at the Harvard School of Public Health.
But it's impossible to get an optimal dose of vitamin E from your diet, so supplements are necessary.
On the Horizon
What's coming up with nutritional supplements?
To start with, take a look in your salad bowl. In the last 10 years, scientists have worked to identify phytochemicals, the compounds that make fruits, grains, legumes and vegetables so good for us. These compounds include lycopene, the natural antioxidant found in tomatoes.
New research may also begin to identify why certain people are more likely to respond to vitamin therapy than others. "What the last 15 or 20 years have given us are the associations between vitamin intake and certain diseases," says Jacob Selhub, PhD, of Tufts University's Jean Mayer Center. "What the next century will show us is what's the causality."
