***OFFICIAL*** Mike Easton vs. Brad Pickett Thread
Bantamweight bout: 135 pounds
Mike hasn't been aggressive enough lately, Brad will bring it and hopefully wake him up a bit, hopefully making for a mad fight.
I'll pick Easton because he can out grapple Pickett, should he need to.
I like both of these guys a lot, sucks that one will lose
Mike Easton is going to grapple r*** him.
1 Attachment(s)
Like both, but Easton has disappointed me as of late.
...Should be a great fight. Between Easton's blinding speed and Pickett's 1 punch KO power, I don't see this fight going the distance. Somebody is gonna get finished. I'd rather eat a punch from Easton rather than from Pickett. Brad hits like a truck for his size and packs a brutal uppercut. He lands that on Mike...game over. Really any dead-on flush punch from Pickett and Easton is in a world of hurt. If Easton puts Brad on his back, Pickett will get owned...
Should probably make it in one post. I love Picketts voice lol
One PUNCH!

Mayweather Admits To Running a Ploy on Amir Khan
by Rick Reeno
MGM Grand, Las Vegas - Floyd Mayweather Jr. (42-0, 26KOs) admitted he was trying to run a ploy on IBF/WBA junior welterweight champion Amir Khan. For several weeks, the British superstar has been targeting a potential fight with Mayweather in 2012. In response, Mayweather advised Khan to "earn his shot" by facing unbeaten contender Jessie Vargas (17-0, 9KOs), who Mayweather promotes.
Mayweather, the WBC welterweight champion, had a good laugh when the subject of "Khan facing Vargas to get you in the ring" was approached. According to Mayweather, he was simply trying to get his rising boxer a shot at the title.
"I contradict myself sometimes [laughing]. I have to get my guy a shot. That's my guy. I have to get my guy a shot. It's so crazy. You think about a fighter like Amir Khan, I have nothing against him, but I'm bigger in his country than he is. Mayweather loves the UK," Mayweather said.

Lit as if doom itself were around the corner (even the daytime street scenes are bedimmed), The Rite is a supernatural thriller about God and the Devil and the demonic possession of our souls.
It begins in a small town near Chicago, where Rutger Hauer, sallow and sober, is an undertaker busy with the embalming of the dead. It ends in a howling conflagration not far from the Vatican, where a young priest is witness to the wild expulsion of a satanic terror.

Basement Jaxx
Nobody exemplifies the promiscuous impurism of late-'90s house music better than Basement Jaxx, the South London duo of Felix Buxton and Simon Ratcliffe. On their two recent singles (four A sides + dub versions = an album's worth of stuff), virtually every track creates a new subgenre. "Red Alert" is P-Funk house: Bootsy slap-bass, g-funk synth, a chorus of psychedelic dwarves. Flipside "Yo Yo" has been hailed as "punk garage," for the Nirvana/Pixies heft of its fuzzed-out bass riff. But the chorus reminds me of Jamie Principle's eroto-mystic house classic "Baby Wants To Ride."
On the most recent single, "Jump 'n Shout" is raga-house driven by a flagrant, in-yer-face thug of a bassline and hectic patois patter; "Rendez-Vu" could be either "flamenco-house" or "The Genre Formerly Known as House," meshing Castilian guitar flurries, Zapp-style vocoder ditties, and a lush Prince-like decadence. Where most dance producers make a virtue of creative thrift, Buxton and Ratcliffe are maximalists: instead of interminable loops, you get new patterns every couple bars, sonic singularities, an insanity of detail. Yet the Basement boys' sonic largesse never degenerates into eclectic whimsy or that multilayered-but-not- integrated form of additive composition that undoes so much computer-based music.
The duo's debut album, due for April release, reveals even wilder twists to the contours of house as hitherto known like "Don't Give Up," a quiet Sturm und Drang ballad of billowing acid-bass and Scott Walker strings. Remedy looks set to do for house what Reprazent's New Forms did for jungle in '97 explode the genre's parameters, and grab the ear of the wider world beyond.

YRCW will test ma-50 at 31 cents within 2 days. Will get there if anayst upgrades tomorrow. I think they will.
this was my post on friday 7-09-10.......there is a simple logic to this and listen good..share price 0.11ct the bottom is 0.00 and thats as far as the shorts can go..so stop crying and if it continues to go down and you have the cash and you do believe there will be no bk.. which by the way could boost the stock depending on which chapter they file? but anyway i had it at 0.23 couple of weeks ago it was moving side ways so i said to myself sell.its to slow for me and then i watched it for 10 days fall and i bought the same amount of shares for half price..and if it goes to down further i will buy more ..but if i would have bought it at 0.50 cent i could not afford to chase the dragon...so buy more and hope for the bounce..at this point its a gamble and for me the reward at this price is in my favor..good luck to u all

A friend with arthritis said his high cholesterol dropped 20 points when he stopped taking glucosamine for joint pain. Can the supplement raise your cholesterol levels?
- Anonymous
Scientists have been trying to pin down this potential side effect of glucosamine for years, and the answer is as elusive as the reason for Paris Hilton's celebrity. Some small studies in humans and mice have found what docs have seen in some of their patients: Taking glucosamine made patients' lousy LDL cholesterol shoot up like the price of gold on a good day.
But here's what we suspect: There may be a small group of people whose lousy cholesterol rises when they take glucosamine, but the majority do not have this adverse effect.
How can your doc tell which group you're in? Not by lookin' at you. The only way is to check your cholesterol levels before you start taking glucosamine, then recheck them after you've been on the supplement for a couple of months, and compare. If your LDL cholesterol level has jumped up, stop the glucosamine. Odds are, you won't have to.
My doctor put me on thyroid medicine, and I've heard that I'll be on it the rest of my life.
Is this true? What would happen if I stopped taking it?
- Nancy, Cheboygan, Mich.
We won't sugarcoat this: You could slip into a coma, heart failure or worse. Now everything else we say may seem minor, but actually, the rest is all pretty good.
As many as 8 percent of women and 3 percent of men have what you have: hypothyroidism, which means you have an underactive thyroid gland.
It isn't making enough hormone to regulate your metabolism, which can cause cold sensitivity, depression, fatigue, sluggishness, dry skin and hair, joint or muscle pain, weight gain, constipation, anemia, abnormal heart beats and cholesterol problems. You can see that the thyroid gland and its hormones are pretty important.
So when does the good part start? Right now. Because it's easy to treat what would otherwise be a highly risky condition. Just take the thyroid hormone replacement drug you were prescribed (the most common is levothyroxine). Your doc will monitor you and may tweak the dose from time to time, especially if you become pregnant and as you age. Otherwise, that's pretty much that. If only curing the common cold were so easy.
Oh, yes, you'll probably be taking the drug for life, but don't even think of not taking it. It's like asking for nerve damage, heart disease, infections, depression, infertility, miscarriage and birth defects, not to mention the heart failure, coma and situations that are serious medical emergencies.
Just take your meds, go on and have fun. P.S.: This key medicine is generally inexpensive and less than a $4-per-month copay.
You've said that having a pet reduces stress. That may be true for some people, but even though I love animals, having pets has been a major source of stress for me. And I lose points in the RealAge Test because of that stress! I don't think that's fair.
- Araminta, via e-mail
Usually, the most common side effect of having a pet is a higher risk of walking regularly and feeling more loved. But that's certainly not true for everyone.
No doc in his right mind (and we're both in ours) would write you a prescription for a Labradoodle puppy or a Persian kitten if it raised your BP, caused you to have problems breathing or made you stress about being on the road a lot.
Since you love animals, but don't want to actually have any, try this: Tune in to Animal Planet regularly. In one study, people who watched just 10 minutes of a video featuring a furry, scaly or feathered friend experienced dips in their heart rate and blood pressure. Virtual pets? Hey, why not? No muss, no fuss. And don't worry about your RealAge Test results; not having a pet is pretty much balanced out by feeling less stressed.

Confess to Mom that you're feeling like Steve Martin in "The Lonely Guy," and we bet the national debt of Greece you'll hear advice like: "You need to get out more! Join the local spelunking club. Take up swing dancing. Or what about a cupcake course? Hit the singles scene. Polish up your people skills - you know: Look 'em in the eye, remember their names and listen, listen, listen."
Our two cents? Fuhgeddaboudit. True, an active social life helps protect you from high blood pressure, stress and inflammation. It even raises your odds for surviving breast cancer and waltzing around a heart attack. But overcoming loneliness and safeguarding your health takes more than having something to do on Saturday night.
Like true happiness, it's an inside job. Before you place an online personal ad or reconnect with your high school crush, ask yourself two questions: Do I deserve friendship? Do I think people want to be friends with me?
If you answered "no" to either or both, focus on bolstering your sense of self before you hop on the social merry-go-round. Fixing off-the-wall beliefs about your-self worth does more to overcome loneliness than improving social skills, making connections or just "getting yourself out there."
Makes sense to us. When you are at ease with YOU and open to others, friendships seem to blossom naturally. And just acknowledging secret self-doubts may develop enough humor and compassion toward yourself to reach out to others - who, underneath, probably are like you: sometimes unsure and shy.

Supermarkets can be a lot like late-night TV: Both are packed with glitzy, convincing come-ons for stuff you didn't need and weren't intending to add to your household clutter. We know you're way too smart to shell out $49.95 for a "4-Second Ab Blaster," but it's a lot easier to add $2.99 crackers that boast being "multigrain." And that adds to body clutter!
Sure, the Food and Drug Administration regulates some claims, such as "low fat," but fewer than you think. Take "low carb": It can mean anything, yet it easily convinces people that many foods are better for weight control than they actually are. (Watch "Mad Men" to see how well ad lingo sells.) Other claims that reflect BS (bad science):
► "Made with real fruit." Have you eaten a lot of fake fruit recently? This phrase can be code for jam-sweetened sugar bombs; check for added sugars and syrups.
► "Whole grains." Keep walkin' down the aisle until you spot "100 percent whole grains" on package labels. You can bet that if it doesn't say 100 percent on the outside, that's not what's inside. As you've guessed (right?), same goes for "multigrain": It almost always sounds better than it is.
► "All natural." Ready for a surprise? There are zero restrictions on using this, except on meat(!), where "natural" means minimally processed.
Super shoppers, grab your reading glasses and scan the Nutrition Facts panel! In addition to 100 percent whole grains, look for 0 percent trans fats, lots more monounsaturated than saturated fats and no added sugars/syrups. Every cell in your body will think you're a genius.

Morning sickness just isn't fair. Just when you - or your daughter or your neighbor in the next cube - need to eat smarter and better than ever before, food is about as appealing as a ride on a tilt-a-whirl. You feel sick, get sick and are sick. And who said it only happens in the morning? Probably someone who never had "morning sickness"!
When headlines recently announced, "No Cure for Morning Sickness," we heard a nationwide groan from soon-to-be moms. But those reports were a bit misleading: "No cure" doesn't mean "Nothing helps." It means the experts found so many shortcomings in the 27 studies they reviewed that there was no evidence for a "cure."
Excuse us if we're repeating what your mother-in-law already has said, but, "It will get better." Odds are you'll be enjoying breakfast again by week 16 of your pregnancy. Meanwhile, these steps should give you some relief:
► Eat cold foods. Hot food heightens your sense of smell, and odors are stomach-turners.
► Eat 100 percent whole-grain crackers before getting out of bed in the morning.
► Eat a diet that's high in lean proteins, complex carbs and includes brown rice and leafy greens.
► Take vitamin B-6 (10 mg) once a day.
► Sip fresh gingerroot tea or take a ginger supplement (300 mg) once or twice a day.

Hey, you guys, when was the last time you piled your plate high with spinach, lentils, a nice artichoke and a papaya? Bet the answer is "Never, YOU Docs." Yet that's what you'd need to get the 700 micrograms of folate we suggest. Why 700 mcg, almost twice what the USDA recommends? You're not up to speed on folate?
OK, enough with the wise-guy questions. The answer is that studies now show 700 mcg a day puts the brakes on hearing loss and helps keep arteries young (which keeps you and your sex life young). It also lowers risky homocysteine, an amino acid that can up the threat of heart disease and maybe dementia.
You're probably getting about 300 mcg of folate in food. That's partly because many foods have been enriched with folic acid (synthetic folate) since the 1990s, when it became clear that folate prevents brain and spinal-cord birth defects. Getting the other 400 mcg is simple: Take a multivitamin.

Kicking back for a couple of days after a long, busy week is a tradition that dates to 1938. That's when Congress set the maximum workweek at 44 hours. Bingo: Weekends!
Despite what you may think, we YOU Docs weren't around in 1938, though we look forward to weekends as much as any high school student. What we're not fond of: The "weekend effect," which typically starts with fried chicken and a movie and trans fat popcorn on Friday night and ends with a non-100-percent-whole-grain-snack-filled Sunday spent loafing around.
Before you turn your next 48 hours of downtime into sit-around-and-eat time, contemplate these recently discovered consequences of the weekend effect:
► In a weight-loss study comparing dieters with daily exercisers, it turned out that on weekends, the dieters stopped losing and the exercisers gained enough to put on an extra nine pounds a year.
► On weekends, teenagers are twice as likely to slouch around computers and video games for hours - a sitting overload that leads to weight gain now and diabetes and heart disease later.
The easy fix: healthy snacks (fruit and nuts are no-fuss) and no fast food meals on weekends. OK, we know that's easy to say, but here's what makes it easy to do: Get active. It's hard to nosh when you're shooting hoops or pushing swings. Cook a meal together. Walking to the store for the ingredients doubles benefit.

Adam Bedeby George Eliot
George Eliot's debut novel tells a story of love in rural eighteenth-century England Adam Bede is an upstanding, hardworking, intelligent young man, the kind of person who knows what he wants--and what he wants is the incredibly shallow Hetty Sorrel. Though Hetty is a milkmaid, she harbors dreams of becoming a dignified member of the upper class. To that end, she has set her sights on Captain Arthur Donnithorne, a squire and heir to much of the town's wealth. Meanwhile, Dinah Morris, Hetty's compassionate cousin, harbors irrepressible romantic feelings for Adam. This love rectangle forms the character basis for one of the greatest English novels of all time. Upon its release in 1859, Adam Bede was immediately lauded as a seminal work for its depiction of English country life at the turn of the nineteenth century, garnering the praise of Charles Dickens. Eliot's deft mixing of the fictional with the real has made Adam Bede a timeless classic. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.
Adam Bedeby George Eliot
Mary Ann Evans wrote under the pen name George Eliot. She did this so that her works would be taken seriously in Victorian England, which was still under the assumption that females were of lesser intelligence. <P> <P> Her novels were set in a provincial England and were known for their realism. Adam Bebe was her first novel written in 1859. The story centers around four characters in a rural town in 1799. The story contains a love triangle, an unwanted pregnancy, a child left abandoned to die and a trial. Eliot tells the story of a hard-working young carpenter and the simple country-woman he loves who has been seduced by a young squire.
Adam Bedeby George Eliot
Excerpt: . . . had the mysterious secret of never wearing a new-looking coat. "This is not the first time, by a great many," he said, "that I have had to thank my parishioners for giving me tokens of their goodwill, but neighbourly kindness is among those things that are the more precious the older they get. Indeed, our pleasant meeting to-day is a proof that when what is good comes of age and is likely to live, there is reason for rejoicing, and the relation between us as clergyman and parishioners came of age two years ago, for it is three-and-twenty years since I first came among you, and I see some tall fine-looking young men here, as well as some blooming young women, that were far from looking as pleasantly at me when I christened them as I am happy to see them looking now. But I'm sure you will not wonder when I say that among all those young men, the one in whom I have the strongest interest is my friend Mr. Arthur Donnithorne, for whom you have just expressed your regard. I had the pleasure of being his tutor for several years, and have naturally had opportunities of knowing him intimately which cannot have occurred to any one else who is present; and I have some pride as well as pleasure in assuring you that I share your high hopes concerning him, and your confidence in his possession of those qualities which will make him an excellent landlord when the time shall come for him to take that important position among you. We feel alike on most matters on which a man who is getting towards fifty can feel in common with a young man of one-and-twenty, and he has just been expressing a feeling which I share very heartily, and I would not willingly omit the opportunity of saying so. That feeling is his value and respect for Adam Bede. People in a high station are of course more thought of and talked about and have their virtues more praised, than those whose lives are passed in humble everyday work; but every sensible man knows how necessary that humble. . .
Daniel Derondaby George Eliot
George Eliot's final novel and her most ambitious work, Daniel Deronda contrasts the moral laxity of the British aristocracy with the dedicated fervor of Jewish nationalists. Crushed by a loveless marriage to the cruel and arrogant Grandcourt, Gwendolen Harleth seeks salvation in the deeply spiritual and altruistic Daniel Deronda. But Deronda, profoundly affected by the discovery of his Jewish ancestry, is ultimately too committed to his own cultural awakening to save Gwendolen from despair. This Modern Library Paperback Classic is set from the 1878 Cabinet Edition.
Daniel Derondaby George Eliot Earl L. Dachslager George Stade
George Eliot's last and most unconventional novel is considered by many to be her greatest. First published in installments in 1874-76, "Daniel Deronda" is a richly imagined epic with a mysterious hero at its heart. Deronda, a high-minded young man searching for his path in life, finds himself drawn by a series of dramatic encounters into two contrasting worlds: the English country-house life of Gwendolen Harleth, a high-spirited beauty trapped in an oppressive marriage, and the very different lives of a poor Jewish girl, Mirah, and her family. As Deronda uncovers the long-hidden secret of his own parentage, Eliot's moving and suspenseful narrative opens up a world of Jewish experiences previously unknown to the Victorian novel.
The Lifted Veilby George Eliot
Latimer, a sensitive and intellectual man, finds he has clairvoyant powers, and, when he meets Bertha Grant, he refuses to heed the warning visions.
Middlemarchby George Eliot
Middlemarch is George Eliot's masterpiece, a Victorian novel on the grandest scale. Originally published in serial form in Blackwood's Magazine in 1871-1872, it was at once a critical and popular success. 'No Victorian novel approaches Middlemarch in its width of reference, its intellectual power, or the imperturbable spaciousness of its narrative,' V. S. Pritchett noted. Set in a fictional Midlands town, the novel chronicles nineteenth-century English provincial life through its precisely delineated characters, weaving many stories into one richly textured tapestry. Eliot renders her vast cast with cool irony and intelligence: Dorothea Brooke, the 'latter-day St. Theresa,' intense, impassioned, and frustrated; Tertius Lydgate, the idealistic young doctor who comes to Middlemarch fired with the desire to spread the new science of medicine; Fred Vincy and his spoiled, pretentious sister Rosamond; Casaubon, Dorothea's elderly husband, for whom she feels at first awe and finally pity; and the many lesser characters who people this epic in a small landscape. Unsurpassed in its depiction of human nature, Middlemarch is one of the great works of world literature.
Middlemarchby George Eliot
George Eliot's most ambitious novel is a masterly evocation of diverse lives and changing fortunes in a provincial community. Peopling its landscape are Dorothea Brooke, a young idealist whose search for intellectual fulfillment leads her into a disastrous marriage to the pedantic scholar Casaubon; the charming but tactless Dr Lydgate, whose marriage to the spendthrift beauty Rosamund and pioneering medical methods threaten to undermine his career; and the religious hypocrite Bulstrode, hiding scandalous crimes from his past. As their stories interweave, George Eliot creates a richly nuanced and moving drama, hailed by Virginia Woolf as 'one of the few English novels written for adult people'.

Middlemarchby George Eliot Francine Prose
An enduring triumph of moral and psychological insight, George Eliot's classic novel traces the lives of four residents of a fictional English town rocked by the changes of a modernizing world.Dorothea Brooke married Edward Casaubon--a clergyman and scholar some years her senior--naively hoping their union would be a true meeting of the minds. Trapped in a lonely marriage to a tyrannical man, she finds companionship with Edward's cousin, but her overtures risk her spotless reputation and jeopardize her future.Young doctor Tertius Lydgate comes to Middlemarch full of progressive ideas, eager to volunteer his skill at the local hospital. Through his connections there he meets the mayor's beautiful daughter, Rosamond Vincy, and marries her, only to face financial ruin at the hands of her materialism and overwhelming vanity.Rosamond's brother, Fred, is destined for the Church to improve his family's class standing, but his childhood sweetheart, Mary Garth, refuses to marry him unless he pursues a more suitable career. Forced by fate into uncertain financial circumstances, Fred must question his choices and desires if he hopes to earn Mary's respect.God-fearing and esteemed, Nicholas Bulstrode is a good man and trustworthy banker--or so it appears until an old enemy comes to town, intent on revealing Bulstrode's shady past dealings. Terrified of being exposed as a hypocrite, he takes matters into his own hands, each desperate act spiraling him further into disgrace and corruption.A masterwork of fiction, Middlemarch traces these four lives in a plot that illuminates the social fabric of mid-nineteenth-century England. Looming above the landscape of Victorian literature, Eliot's beloved novel explores the perennial struggle between individual and society, integrity and temptation, and is as timely today as when it was first published.
The Mill on the Flossby George Eliot
Misunderstood Maggie Tulliver is torn. Her rebellious and passionate nature demands expression, while her provincial kin and community expect self-denial. Based closely on the author's own life, Maggie's story explores the conflicts of love and loyalty and the friction between desire and moral responsibility. Written in 1860, The Mill on the Floss was published to instant popularity. An accurate, evocative depiction of English rural life, this compelling narrative features a vivid and realistic cast, headed by one of 19th-century literature's most appealing characters.

The Mill on the Flossby George Eliot Margot Livesey
(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed)In The Mill on the Floss, George Eliot re-creates her own childhood through the story of the wild, gifted Maggie Tulliver and her spoiled, selfish brother. Though tragic in its outcome, this tenderly comic novel combines vivid vignettes of family life with a magnificent portrait of the heroine and an acute critique of Victorian sexual politics. Eliot had no peer when it came to finding the drama at the heart of normal lives lived in tandem with the gigantic rhythms of nature itself, and in The Mill on the Floss she shows us once again how thoroughly the art of fiction can satisfy our deepest mental and emotional cravings.From the Hardcover edition.
Romolaby George Eliot
One of George Eliot's seven classic novels. She is best known for Middlemarch, Silas Marner, and The Mill on the Floss. According to Wikipedia: "Mary Ann (Marian) Evans (22 November 1819 â " 22 December 1880), better known by her pen name George Eliot, was an English novelist. She was one of the leading writers of the Victorian era. Her novels, largely set in provincial England, are well known for their realism and psychological perspicacity. She used a male pen name, she said, to ensure that her works were taken seriously. Female authors published freely under their own names, but Eliot wanted to ensure that she was not seen as merely a writer of romances. An additional factor may have been a desire to shield her private life from public scrutiny and to prevent scandals attending her relationship with the married George Henry Lewes. "
Scenes of Clerical Lifeby George Eliot
Three stories are set during the last twenty years of the eighteenth century and the first half of the nineteenth century over a fifty year period, and take place in and around the fictional town of Milby in the English Midlands. Eliot examines, among other things, the effects of religious reform and the tension between the Established and the Dissenting Churches on the clergymen and their congregations, and draws attention to various social issues, such as poverty, alcoholism, and domestic violence.
Silas Marnerby George Eliot
A man becomes a recluse when he's accused of a crime he did not commit Silas Marner is a skilled weaver working long hours in London for a Calvinist sect that does not appreciate him. When the congregation's funds are stolen, Silas is framed for the theft and excommunicated. Presumed guilty, abandoned by the love of his life, evicted from his modest home, and humiliated by the men he called his brothers, Silas wanders north to a small village in England's bucolic countryside. Forsaking contact with humanity, he throws himself into his work, caring for little other than the constant movement of his hands and the stack of money he is slowly amassing. But fate sees it fit that Silas should lose his newfound wealth and gain the companionship of a young orphan, an experience that proves more valuable than any currency. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices. "I think Silas Marner holds a higher place than any of the author's works. It is more nearly a masterpiece; it has more of that simple, rounded, consummate aspect which marks a classical work." --Henry James
Silas Marnerby George Eliot
As a young man, Silas Marner shut himself off from the world after being wrongly accused of theft and losing the girl he loved. Much later in life, the lonely, embittered weaver experiences two jolting events: he is robbed of his meager hoard of gold and he becomes the guardian of Eppie, a little orphan girl who makes her way to his cottage one wintry night. Eppie grows into a charming young woman who cares for the alienated Silas, helping him find love and hope in his life.First published in 1861, this classic English novel by George Eliot (pen name of Mary Anne Evans) is widely admired for its brevity and perfection of form. It has also long delighted students of literature and general readers alike with its masterly portrait of moral and psychological behavior in Victorian England, and with its mystery, intrigue, and heartwarming denouement.

Helpful friendly & efficient
Mr Chaplin
I am regular customer of my local Halfords garage in Erskine Rd Liverpool. The gays are always friendly and taking good care of my car.
Ms George
I have used Halfords on many occasions for everything from a new tyre to a major service. Their service is always exceptional with an honest and professional approach. I would highly recommend Halfords if you want peace of mind when maintaining your car!
Allan kayll
Easy to book,no hidden charges,good service, only reservation would be added recommendations such as full drain and refill of anti freeze,brake fluid,power steering which would increase price and are stated on your invoice as amber warning which may put off buyer if selling car,when not necessarily required by manufacturer service schedule
staff nice and helpful very pleasant to deal with.
Mr Williams
Very efficient service. Staff member who booked me in was very pleasant. Mot and service due in a couple of weeks so no doubt I'll be back
Mrs Green
My first visit was for an mot on my bmw after contestant problems with other garages I visited Halfords on the Erskine industrial estate and spoke to Matt the manager. Top guy honestly him and his team are too guys. Nothing was to much trouble they got be a good deal on tyres told me that two of them can wait a while rather than trying to con me into buying 4. Then my next car a range rover sport has had nothing but problems again sorted out by matt and his team. Saved me a packet compared to main dealer and the work is top quality and easy to understand. I have and will be reccomending these guys to everyone I know.
Mr Jones
After purchasing a Vauxhall Astra SRI with 12,000 on the clock and costing �10,000.00 from Arnold Clark, I've had it regularly serviced but have experienced numerous problems, namely : EMU failed to which I put it into Vauxhalls ( Lookers ) Summer 2013 who had it for 2 weeks. They told me the reason it broke down was that the light had been left on in the glove box cosequently draining the battery which was utter nonsence. Within an hour of picking it up ( supposedly fixed ) it broke down again and had to be lifted and taken back to Vauxhalls. Same problem in again. The car is now 4 years old and out of warranty, only 35,000 on the clock, Matrix failed and car flooded with antifreeze++ At which point a friend suggested putting it in Halfords, Kirkdale. I took the car to Halfords where I met the Manager Matt who sorted the problem. Next problem a month later, I took car back into Halfords, once again I found Matt to be extremely courteous and helpful. He sorted the problem out for me with a replacement Engine Management Unit and Programme. As you can see from my experiences, at 35,000 miles on the clock this should never have happened. Fortunately Halfords sorted the problems out. I would never go near Vauxhalls or buy any of their cars as the service was abysmal. In my experience Vauxhall cars aren't fit for purpose.
Mr Crane
Halfords have fantastic mechanics, great customer service skills, been a couple of times now as has my dad, would recommend any one to go there.

Sandler and friends reunite for lazy, unfunny sequel
Despite being lambasted by critics, 2010's "Grown Ups" was an enormous hit, grossing $162 million domestically and another $109 million worldwide. It stands to reason that "Grown Ups 2" will do just as well — even though it's made for home viewing when you're flipping channels late at night and nothing else is on.
Once again, producer/co-writer/star Adam Sandler decided to gather all his friends and hang out for a few months — and get a major studio to pay for their get-together. Sometimes you wonder if they even knew (or cared) that cameras were rolling. »Read Full Article(4)

Mozilla Discontinues Firefox OS for All Devices
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | September 29, 2016 - 02:15 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: firefox, mozilla, Firefox OS
Less than a year after their decision to stop developing and selling smartphones through carriers, Mozilla has decided to end all commercial development of Firefox OS. Releases after Firefox OS 2.6 will be handled by third parties, such as Panasonic, should they wish to continue using it for their smart TV platform. Further, source code for the underlying operating system, Boot-to-Gecko (B2G), will be removed from their repository, mozilla-central, so it doesn't hinder development of their other products.
Regardless, Mozilla needs to consider their long-term financial stability, and throwing resources at Firefox OS apparently doesn't return enough value for them, both directly and for its impact on society.
Mozilla Launches Firefox 49
Subject: General Tech | September 20, 2016 - 04:51 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: mozilla, firefox
While it was originally scheduled for last week, some last-minute issues preventing the software non-profit organization from releasing it until today. Also, for some reason, Firefox for Android doesn't want to update from within itself, but triggering an update from the Google Play store works. This might be temporary and/or happens with every Firefox for Android update; I'm new to this platform.
With Firefox 49, VentureBeat is reporting that Mozilla is allowing a "small initial set of compatible add-ons" to be enabled alongside multi-process. If you don't have any non-compatible add-ons installed, then you should see Multiprocess Windows enabled in about:support. Otherwise, it will be disabled and you won't see any difference.
Interestingly, Mozilla is promoting "Refresh Firefox" at their site if you have the latest version. This basically cleans all the add-ons out of your user profile, but maintains browsing history, bookmarks, and the like. It might have been around for a while, but, if it's new, it times nicely with the multi-process rollout. On top of cleaning out old, crufty add-ons, a user should see a bigger jump when Mozilla's enhancements are (I'm guessing) enabled.
Mozilla has also changed a few things here and there, too. While many of our readers will probably have hardware acceleration for video, they have just added in SSSE3 enhancements if GPU support isn't available. I'm not sure all of the use cases for this, but I'd expect it would help in virtualized environments and certain, older PCs (ex: Intel Atom and Via Nano). I'm just speculating, though.
Mozilla to Publish First Rust-based Module in Firefox 48

Tagged: mozilla, Rust, firefox
Mozilla has been working on the Rust language for several years now. It is designed to be extremely fast, memory-safe, and easy to parallelize on multi-core processors, doing so by having a compiler that's not afraid to tell you "Nope." Mozilla (and others, like Samsung) want a language with those characteristics because it will make an extremely fast, yet secure, web browser (although there's a lot of single-threaded design choices tangled in the Web specifications).
The first example will arrive next month for Windows, though (64-bit OSX and Linux already had it). Firefox 48 will replace a small portion of the code, originally written in C++, with a Rust-based equivalent. The affected component parses media files, getting values like track id, duration, resolution, and so forth. Because it's written in Rust, this ingestion should be resilient to memory-based vulnerabilities.
This probably will not be noticeable to end-users, but it's a few thousand less lines of code that Mozilla should need to worry about hijacking the browser. Mozilla is also planning on bringing URL parsing to Rust, and has already done so with Servo. You would think that the C++ code has been battle-hardened by now, but, I mean, 15-year-old open-source bugs do exist, hiding in plain sight.
Mozilla Will Begin Electrolysis with Firefox 48
Subject: General Tech | June 9, 2016 - 01:08 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: mozilla, firefox
This roll-out won't necessarily be immediate, though. You can install Firefox 48 and, only some weeks later, get Electrolysis turned on retroactively. They are starting with about 1% of eligible users, which will ramp up to all eligible users over time or even be disabled if alarm bells start to ring.
Speaking of eligible users, there are quite a few conditions that will prevent you from getting Electrolysis. Namely, if you use extensions (it's unclear if they're talking about all extensions, or just ones that use certain APIs) then you will be kept on single-process. They don't specify why, but it could very well be the situation that I mentioned in the first paragraph.
Firefox 48 is scheduled to be released in six weeks (the first week of August).
WebGL2 Is On Its Way
Subject: General Tech | December 31, 2015 - 10:25 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: webgl2, webgl, mozilla, firefox
The next step is WebGL2. OpenGL ES 3.0 adds a bunch of new features that are sorely needed for modern games and applications. For instance, it allows drawing to multiple render targets, which is very useful for virtual cameras in video games (although the original WebGL software could access this as an optional extension when supported). The addition of "Uniform Buffer Objects" is a better example. This allows you to store a bunch of data, like view transformation matrices, as a single buffer that can be bound to multiple applications, rather than binding them one at a time to every draw that needs them.
It's hard to describe, but demos speak a thousand words.
The news today is that Mozilla Nightly now ships with WebGL2 enabled by default. It was previously hidden, disabled by default, behind an option in the browser. This doesn't seem like a big deal, but one of the largest hurdles to WebGL2 is how the browsers actually implement it. The shading language in WebGL was simple enough that most browsers convert it to DirectX HLSL on Windows. This is said to have the added advantage of obfuscating the ability to write malicious code, since developers never directly writes what's executed. GLSL in OpenGL ES 3.0 is much more difficult. I'm not sure whether the browsers will begin to trust OpenGL ES 3.0 drivers directly, or if they finally updated the GLSL translator, but supported implementations means that something was fixed.
Unfortunately, OpenGL compute shaders are not supported in WebGL2. That said, the biggest hurdle is, again, to get WebGL2 working at all. From my talks with browser vendors over the last year or so, it sounds like features (including compute shaders) should start flying in easily once this hurdle is cleared. From there, GPGPU in a website should be much more straightforward.
Almost NoScript Exploits Whitelist Vulnerabilities
Subject: General Tech | July 6, 2015 - 07:01 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: noscript, javascript, firefox
This is like a five-year-old figuring out how to unlock a fireworks case full of paper crackers.
Regardless, there are two vulnerabilities, both of which have already been updated. Both of them take advantage of the whitelist functionality to ignore malicious code. By default, NoScript trusts a handful of domains, because blocking every script ever would break too much of the internet.
The first problem is that the whitelist has a little cruft, some of which including domain names that are useless, and even some that have expired into the public domain for sale. To prove a point, Matthew Bryant purchased zendcdn.net and used it to serve his own JavaScript. The second problem is similar, but slightly different. Rather than finding a domain that expired, it found some whitelist entries, such as googleapis.com, that had sub-domains, storage.googleapis.com, which is a service that accepts untrusted user scripts (it is part of Google's Cloud Platform).
Again, even though JavaScript is about as secure as you can get in an executable language, you should be allowed to control what executes on your machine. As stated, NoScript has already addressed these issues in a recent update.
Firefox 38 Launches with (and also without) DRM Support
Subject: General Tech | May 13, 2015 - 05:06 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: mozilla, firefox, DRM
Mozilla has just released Firefox 38. With it comes the controversial Adobe Primetime DRM implementation through the W3C's Encrypted Media Extensions (EME). Or, maybe not. If you upgrade the browser through one of the default channels, the Adobe Primetime Content Decryption Module will appear in the Plugins tab of your Add-ons manager on Windows Vista or later (but it might take a few minutes after the upgrade).
Alternatively, you can use Mozilla's EME-free installer for Firefox and avoid it altogether.
I have mentioned my concerns about DRM in the past. EME does not particularly bother me, because it is just a plugin architecture, but the fundamental concept does. Simply put, copy protection does very little good and a whole lot of bad. If your movie is leaked before it is legally available in consumer's hands, as it regularly does, then what do you expect to accomplish after the fact? It takes one instance to be copied infinitely, and that often comes from the film company's own supply chain, not their customers. Moreover, it is found to reduce sales and hurt customer experience (above and beyond the valid ideological concerns).
Beyond the DRM inclusion, several new features were added. One of the more interesting ones is BroadcastChannel API. This standard allows a web application to share data between "contexts" that have the same "user agent and origin". In other words, it must be on the same browser and using the same app (even secondary instances of it). This will allow sites to do multi-monitor split screen, which is useful for games and utilities.
WebRTC has also been upgraded with multistream and renegotiation. Even though the general public thinks of WebRTC as a webcam and voice chat standard, it actually allows arbitrary data channels. For example, "BananaBread" is a first person shooter that used WebRTC to synchronize multiplayer state. Character and projectile position is very much not webcam or audio data, but WebRTC doesn't care.
Firefox 38 launched on May 12th with an optional, DRM-incompatible build.
Forcing HTTPS Is Being Discussed
Subject: General Tech | April 14, 2015 - 08:08 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: mozilla, http, https, firefox
On the Mozilla Dev-Platform Newsgroup, hosted at Google Groups, a proposal to deprecate insecure HTTP is being discussed. The idea is that HTTPS needs to be adopted and organizations will not do it without being pushed. The plan is to get browser vendors to refuse activating new features, and eventually disable old features, unless the site is loaded as a "privileged context".
This has sparked a debate, which was the whole point of course, about how secure do we want the Web to be. What features should we retroactively disable unless it is done through HTTPS? Things that access your webcam and microphone? Things that write to your hard drive? Then there is the question of how to handle self-signed certificates to get encryption without verification, and so forth.
Note: Websites cannot access or create files on your hard drive, but standards like localStorage and IndexedDB allow websites to have their own spaces for persistence. This is to allow, for instance, a 3D game to cache textures (and so forth) so you don't need to download them every time.
Personally, this concerns me greatly. I started helping Mozilla a couple of years ago, a few weeks after I saw Microsoft's Windows 8 developer certification program. I do not like the thought of someone being able to stifle creation and expression, and the web was looking like it might be the last bastion of unrestricted development for the general public.
In the original Windows Store requirements, no browser could exist unless it was a skin of Trident. This meant that, if a site didn't work in Internet Explorer, it didn't exist. If you didn't want to play by their rules? Your app didn't get signed and your developer certificate could even be revoked by Microsoft, or someone with authority over them. You could imagine the problems a LGBT-focused developer might have in certain countries, even if Microsoft likes their creations.
This is obviously not as bad as that. In the Windows Store case, there was one authority whereas HTTPS can be authenticated by numerous providers. Also, if self-signed certificates are deemed "secure enough", it would likely avoid the problem. You would not need to ask one of a list of authorities permission to exist; you could secure the connection yourself. Of course, that is a barrier of skill for many, and that is its own concern.
So we'll see, but I hope that Mozilla will take these concerns as a top priority in their decisions.
Since TLS connections mostly ignore OCSP, Firefox is creating yet another solution
Subject: General Tech | March 5, 2015 - 01:46 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: security, OneCRL, irony, firefox, CRLSet, chrome
It seems somehow strange that the vast majority of 'secure' connections still completely ignore what were developed as industry standards to ensure security in favour of creating their own solutions but that is the world a security professional lives in. The basic design of OCSP does carry with it a lot of extra bandwidth usage and while maintaining a time limited local cache, referred to as stapling, would ameliorate this your TLS connection is not likely to support that solution. Instead of fixing the root cause and utilizing existing standards it would seem that Firefox 37 will start a brand new solution, maintaining a list of revoked certificates ironically called OneCRL which will be pushed out to Firefox users, duplicating the CRLSet which Chrome has already developed and maintains.
This is good for the end user in that it does add security to their browsing session but for those truly worried about attempting to make the net a safer place it offers yet another list to keep track of and for attackers yet another vector of attack. At some point we will have to stop referring to standards when referencing networking technology. Pour through the links on the Slashdot post and read through the comments to share in the frustration or to familiarize yourself with these concepts if the acronyms are unfamiliar.
"The next version of Firefox will roll out a 'pushed' blocklist of revoked intermediate security certificates, in an effort to avoid using 'live' Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) checks. The 'OneCRL' feature is similar to Google Chrome's CRLSet, but like that older offering, is limited to intermediate certificates, due to size restrictions in the browser."

Mozilla Partners with Yahoo! for Five Year Search Deal
Subject: General Tech | November 20, 2014 - 10:10 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: yahoo, mozilla, google, firefox
Mozilla, developer of the Firefox web browser, has been mostly funded by Google for the last decade. Between 2005 and 2011, the search giant slowly ramped up its contributions from around $50 million USD for a single year to just over $100 million for the last year. All of this money was to keep the default search engine set to Google for the location and search bar. At that time, journalists were voicing their concerns that Mozilla would be cut off after the success Google saw with their Chrome browser.
In December 2011, Google and Mozilla surprised the world with a different announcement, $300 million dollars per year until November 2014, or almost three times their previous annual contributions. I could not help but feel it was like a light bulb that flares before it extinguishes, although later rumors claimed that Microsoft and Yahoo drove up Google's bid with high counter-offers. Of course, that deal ends this month and Google is no longer the winning bid, if they even proposed a deal at all.
This time, Yahoo won for the next five years (in the US) with a currently undisclosed sum. Yandex will be the default for Russia, and Baidu has been renewed as the default in China.
Yahoo also committed to supporting the Do Not Track (DNT) header for Firefox browsers. If your settings have DNT enabled, the search engine will adjust its behavior to acknowledge your request for privacy. One thing that has not been mentioned is how they will react to your request. This could be anything from treating you as completely anonymous, to personalizing your search results but not your ads, to personalizing your ads but not your search results, to only looking at the geographic location of your IP address, and so forth.
The search experience is not what you will get by going to the Yahoo homepage today; the new site was developed in collaboration with Mozilla and will launch for Firefox users in December. It will go live for every other Yahoo user in 2015.

Wednesday, April 30, 2014
April is touted in song as the month that brings us showers. In Summerville it was showers of blessings this month as 473 conscientious volunteers, 25 sponsors and 23 organizations joined hands for the Third Annual Summerville Cares Day of Service. They undertook projects at Colonial Dorchester, Gregg Middle School, the Coastal Center, Eagle Harbor, Palmetto House and the Red Cross.
Most of the work was done on April 12 but some was performed March 29.
The Day of Service was organized by founding members the Town of Summerville, our chamber of commerce, District Two schools, Weatherford Financial Group, Palmetto Land Baptist Church and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. We kicked off the Saturday workday with breakfast provided by the Summerville Evening Lions Club. Teams then spread out across the city to undertake their projects and most were completed by that afternoon.
At Colonial Dorchester volunteers organized and under the direction of Laura Anderson, a member of the Mormon Church cleared underbrush along the Ashley River and helped spread mountains of mulch along the paths in the park. Laura arranged for the mulch which was provided by Dorchester Countys public works department. The county recycled much of the debris they picked up after the ice storm. Besides mulching the paths and under-brushing along the river, volunteers beautified the ranger station. Park Ranger Ashley Chapman told me the volunteers were well organized and did five times what I had expected.
About 460 pounds of food and 1,236 other items were taken to the Palmetto House. Angela Dupre, director of food services and volunteer coordinator at Palmetto House, said it was the largest drive for the shelter this year. The American Red cross reported 37 pints of blood collected that day, exceeding their goal of 33 pints.
Summerville truly is a caring community as evidenced by the good works of these volunteers. I salute them and all the organizations and businesses that contributed to this effort to make our neck of the woods an even better place.
Im pleased to report that our Commercial Design Review Board this month gave site plan approval for the renovation of Heritage Square on Highway 78 and the Parkway, and also for a new Earth Fare food store on North Main St. on the former Strobel Tire property. Construction at those sites can begin once the developers obtain building permits.
I continue to negotiate with a developer on a possible boutique hotel project in downtown Summerville. I expect to provide more details within the next couple of months.
The Lawrence Group expects to present their vision plan to council by early June. Sometime after that we will schedule a public presentation in council chambers.
And Russ Cornette, director of public works, and I have begun discussions with Tri County Link about a circulator bus route that would run from the Nexton office complex into Azalea Square, downtown Summerville and possibly as far as the Galleria on a pilot project. The idea is to enable those who work in the offices at Nexton a means to come into Summerville for their lunch hour.

Thesis work
Thesis title: Q fever (Coxiella burnetii) � The role of cats and dogs in this diseaseSupervisors: Katrina BOSWARD , Jacqueline NORRIS
Thesis abstract:
Outbreaks of Q fever, an emerging worldwide zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii, were associated with periparturient companion animals in veterinary hospitals in Australia. These outbreaks initiated feline and canine seroprevalence studies, a national cat breeder survey and a Coxiella burnetii molecular study of raw meat intended for pet consumption, with the aim of increasing understanding of the aetiopathogenesis in companion animals. Seroprevalence studies evaluated three methodologies; indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA), enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and complement fixation testing (CFT). The Q fever cat breeder survey recruited members of registered cat breeder organisations and utilised an online platform. The molecular study utilised real time PCR with primers against both single and multi-copy gene targets. Seroprevalence was highest in cattery-confined breeding cats (9.3%) and in dogs from Aboriginal communities (6.5%). A significant Q fever knowledge gap was present amongst cat breeders, with potential associations between risky husbandry practices and Q fever transmission. Coxiella burnetii was detected in 64% of raw meat samples (primarily kangaroo origin), with sequence confirmation and genotyping of three Australian strains isolated from human Q fever patients. Australian cats and dogs have been exposed to Coxiella burnetii, reproducing infected animals pose a potential public health threat to those present at parturition. A comprehensive risk assessment of novel sources of Coxiella burnetii infection for companion animals and humans is required.

5 km walking..5 km running... do i burn same amount?

i just wonder if i burn the same amount of calories from 5 km walking vs 5 km running?...
Both are great exercise, but overall running burns more calories per mile, unless your walking super super fast. An easy way to calculate it is:
running: .75 X (wt lbs) and walking is .53 x (wt in lbs) will give your roughly the calories burned per mile. (note this is at speed up to 5.0...if you can somehow manage to walk on the treadmill at speeds faster then 5.0 then walking starts to burn more, but I find that kind of impossible)

thanks sealion311 and jeff1968!.. great information!...
you can walk at 5mph??
that's a really fast paced walk... 5mph is like a very light jog for me, but I can't walk that fast, I usually walk at a 3.8-4.2mph pace
I think jogging/running at 5mph would be easier and there wouldn't be as high of a risk of injury... walking at 5mph and you are likely to hurt yourself unless you are really tall and have long strides

haha 5mph is like race-walking...its an actual event in Track....its actually quite painful on the legs .....more than running it hurts the calves......Haha!
It also funny to watch cuz when we have a meet and were watching the walkers they all start and there is a whole group of people powerwalking which is actually a funny sight!!

I always thought they were the same, but looked it up in the cc activities and found out they were different. For someone weighing 150 lbs,
Activity................calories/hour....calo ries/mile....calories/5 km
walking 4 mph...........340..................85........ ............266
running 6 mph...........680................113......... ...........353
biking 13 mph............544..................41....... .............128
If you look at from the standpoint of exercise, running burns the most.
On the other hand, from the standpoint of fuel economy biking is best. Twice as efficient to take the bike than to run.
If only it weren't so dangerous....
I actually would burn MORE calories walking at a speed of 4.5mph then running/jogging at 4.5mph... but at that speed walking starts getting very painful on the shins and the risk of injury is greater
I would perfer just to up the speed if I want to run (I usually run between 6.5-7.5mph) or decrease the speed if I want to walk (3.8-4.2mph)
that area between 4.5 and 5.0 mph is a tricky one for me cause it's too fast of a walk, but yet too slow of a run
I think it has a lot to do with speed and your heart rate. I bought a Polar F7 HRM and jogging at 5mph and breaks with walking at 4pmh, I burn about 270 for 2miles. If I jog at 4pmh and walk at 3.5mph it's much less. The higher the heart rate the more cals from fat you burn.
I do agree with other members about jogging at 4.0 being easier than walking at 4.0. Having that little skip during a jog really makes moving easier.

A GINGER-HAIRED, scruffy and increasingly tattooed "misfit" from Britain, Ed Sheeran plays guitar, beatboxes and, occasionally, fiddles. He also writes and winsomely sings hip-hop-inflected folk confessionals that enthrall young'uns - and their parents, too.
And while clearly connected to the keep-it-real troubadour continuum that stretches, as he said, from "Bob Dylan and Van Morrison to Damien Rice and Jason Mraz," there's never been a phenomenon quite like him.
Even in their brightest superstar moments, a Dylan (or James Taylor, Cat Stevens, John Denver or Jackson Browne) could never do what Sheeran now does - fill an entire arena with music, and fans, all by his lonesome.
