As a substantive intervention into American and world politics, however, it's utterly trivial. I expect it will have set the hearts of Oxbloggers all 'round the world a-twitter, but minds are made up.You'd think Matt would've have waited for myself or Josh or Patrick to say something about the inaugural address before dismissing our views as naive, but as Matt correctly observes, "minds are made up."

Slow Fade (30 of 34) by Zach Terry
This content is part of a series.Slow Fade (30 of 34)
Series: Jesus, the One and Only
Zach Terry
John 18:25-27
When it comes to the Kingdom of Heaven there are many things that are awe inspiring.
• The Power of God - God stepped out of nowhere onto nothing and created everything. That's incredible.
• Heaven - God created a place to manifest Himself in a spectacular way. The whole universe cannot contain Him, but Heaven exists as a glorious pedestal for His Majesty to recline.
• Angels - The holy angels serve God as ministering spirits. They come before God and in one accord they cry, "Holy, Holy, Holy!" Not in a robotic sense, but as a natural response to the manifest person and presence of God.
But out of all the marvelous works of the Living God,
Nothing is as amazing as grace.
Wonder of all wonders that this
• The Living God is also a Loving God.
• Great God is also a Good God.
Man in his sin and rebellion has raised a fist toward Heaven and cursed God, yet God pursues man in love and it is the goodness of God not the greatness of God that leads us to repentance.
Nothing has impacted a human soul like unconditional love.
The Lord revealed Himself to Moses as "the Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin" (Ex. 34:6-7).
The prophet Micah proclaimed, "Who is a God like Thee, who pardons iniquity?" (Mic. 7:18).
The apostle John declared, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9).
The greatest tragedy in the entire Universe is to die having never experienced the grace and forgiveness of God. A few weeks ago we saw a man who did just that. Judas walked with Jesus every day, witnessed every miracle, heard every sermon yet was oblivious to the forgiveness of God. Judas died and took up residence in Hell.

Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history/News/June 2013/Articles
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
New featured articles
- 23rd Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Kama (2nd Croatian) (Peacemaker)
- A companion to Peacemaker's Featured Article on the 13th Waffen Mountain Division of the SS Handschar (1st Croatian), this focuses on another Bosnian Muslim formation raised by the Waffen SS to fight in the Balkans during World War II. It underwent GAN and ACR before being nominated for FAC.
- Fort Yellowstone (MONGO and Mike Cline)
- This article details the US Army's management of the world's first national park, Yellowstone, a task it undertook for over 30 years before the establishment of the US National Park Service. It went through GAN and Peer Review before FAC.
- Iven Mackay (Hawkeye7)
- Another Australian general in Hawkeye's series of articles on command in the South West Pacific Area during World War II, this article passed GA and A-Class reviews before achieving Featured Article status.
- Japanese battleship Yamashiro (Dank and Sturmvogel 66)
- In co-nominator Dank's words, "The big battleship-on-battleship fights are the images that seem to stick in peoples' minds ... that's kind of the point of all that weaponry and armor ... but because battleships cost so much, navies have usually been very reluctant to risk them. In 1944, with its back to the wall, the Imperial Japanese Navy did risk it all ... with dramatic results ... This FAC completes the Fusō-class battleship trilogy."
- Leningrad première of Shostakovich's Symphony No. 7 (Nikkimaria)
- Nominator Nikkimaria presented what she described as "a great and touching story" of the premiere during the Siege of Leningrad of Shostakovich's 7th. It was listed as a Good Article and Peer Reviewed before FAC.
- Middle Ages (Ealdgyth, Johnbod and Eric Corbett)
- This was, in co-nominator Ealdgyth's words, "a labor of love" on "one of the main historical periods, and arguably the formative one for the current world". It was also listed at GA and Peer Reviewed prior to FAC.
- Pennsylvania-class battleship (The ed17)
- Ed's first solo FAC in 18 months is on the two-ship Pennsylvania class, of which the lead vessel's sister, Arizona, was by far the more famous of the pair.
- Rudd Concession (Cliftonian)
- Cliftonian continues his series on the history of Rhodesia with this article on the grant of mining rights by the Matabele king Lobengula that led to the foundation of the British South Africa Company and, subsequently, Rhodesia itself.
- SMS Prinzregent Luitpold (Parsecboy)
- Yet another of Parsecboy's German battleship articles, part of a Good Topic that he's looking to turn into a Featured Topic, this went through GA and ACR over the course of two years before attaining FA status.
- USS Kearsarge (BB-5) (Inkbug)
- Kearsarge began her career as lead ship of the her class of pre-dreadnought battleships, and ended it as the rather less glamorous Crane Ship No. 1. This is nominator Inkbug's first Featured Article, and we congratulate him on the achievement.
- USS Saratoga (CV-3) (Sturmvogel 66)
- Another of Sturm's capital ship articles, this neatly ties in with Hawkeye's nuclear bomb series because Saratoga, starting her career as one of the US Navy's first aircraft carriers, ended it as a target for the atomic tests at Bikini Atoll during Operation Crossroads.
New featured pictures
New A-Class articles
- Alan McNicoll (Abraham, B.S.)
- This article covers the life and career of one of a senior commander in the Royal Australian Navy. It represents a welcome return to ACR by nominator Abraham, B.S., who's had the article under development in user space for two years.
- Artur Phleps (Peacemaker67)
- Phleps served in three armies, in two wars, was a Waffen SS Corps commander in the Balkans and was posthumously awarded the Oak Leaves to his Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross.
- Australian contribution to UNTAG (AWHS)
- This article provides a detailed account of the little known, but highly successful, deployment of two Australian Army engineer squadrons to Namibia during 1989 and 1990. AWHS was a member of this force, and the article is illustrated with photographs taken by veterans of the operation. This is AWHS' first A-class article, and was developed through a GA nomination.
- Henry I of England (Hchc2009)
- Henry I was the ruler of England from 1100 to 1135 and fought several wars during his lengthy time on the throne. He was a stern ruler, and a recent historian has described Henry as being "in many respects highly unpleasant".
- List of sieges of Gibraltar (HJ Mitchell)
- This list provides a summary of the 14 recorded sieges of Gibraltar between 1309 and 1783. Notably, four of the five successful sieges were completed within a few days, and all but one of the several lengthy sieges the peninsula has been subjected to have ended in failure.
- McDonnell Douglas A-4G Skyhawk (Nick-D)
- Covering the Australian-specific variant of the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk, this article discusses the features of the type's design and their service with the Royal Australian Navy and Royal New Zealand Air Force.
- Norman conquest of England (Ealdgyth)
- A sizable article on a "big" topic, this article recounts the invasion and occupation of England by Norman forces between 1066 and 1075.
- No. 81 Wing RAAF (Ian Rose)
- Ian's third successful A-class nomination for an article on a Royal Australian Air Force wing, this article describes the history of the current parent headquarters of the RAAF's force of F/A-18 Hornets.
- Robert Bacher (Hawkeye)
- This is the latest in what Hawkeye calls his "long line of Manhattan Project articles". Bacher was an American nuclear physicist who served as one of the leaders of the World War II Manhattan Project.
- Roza Shanina (Brandmeister)
- Another biography, Shanina was a female Soviet sniper of World War II who was credited with 54 kills and described as the "the unseen terror of East Prussia" prior to her death in the last weeks of the war. The article was developed to mark the 90th anniversary of her birth.
- SMS Schlesien (Parsecboy)
- Schlesien was a Deutschland-class pre-dreadnought battleship which served with the German Navy in both world wars. In his nomination statement Parsecboy noted that this is among the last articles on a German battleship to be developed to A-class standard—a remarkable achievement by any measure.

Hi all,
I'm in need to create a report to list every machine in my network which have hard disk size less than 35GB.
The custom report I created shows also machines which have more than one HD, even if the second HD is more than 35GB. How can I create a report where TOTAL disks space is 35GB or less?
Thank you.

Disks are treated individually in reports and there currently is no way to treat disk space on a particular computer as the sum of all the available hard disks.

Thank you anyway for your fast reply ;)

What are you actually trying to achieve as your end result ? PCI device assignment doesn't entirely make sense in the LXC world. Since the container shares a kernel with the "host" OS, there's nothing to really assign the PCI device to. If you're trying to use a PCI NIC, then is the bridging/NAT setup not sufficient ? If you're trying to use a block device, I've got a patch which will let libvirt's LXC code automatically mount any host block as a filesystem inside the container at startup. Your next mail about cgroups device ACL makes me think this is what you're trying todo... If neither of these are suitable, then we could think about how to support logical device assignment. ie assign a NIC, or assign a block device, rather than assigning the PCI device proividing it.

uh... it's just a quick drabble. the prompt was just "11:11."
Eloise sits cross-legged atop her thick comforter. Her hands rest neatly in the cavity her legs make. The room is dark; the only source of light is the moon's illuminating face within the black canvas that engulfs her. At that moment, that's how the young woman feels.
She feels trapped. Trapped in a world where nobody sees, only looks; where nobody speaks, only says. It is a hopeless battle that Eloise will never win. Forever she will stand on weak legs, holding dull swords. The beast that is Life will continue to swipe at her with its claws, swing at her with a horned tail, and blow wheezy fire at her through its nostrils.
Yet even though she knows it is hopeless, she still tries. She tries for so many reasons. But for only one person.
A small cellphone is wrapped up in her shaking fingers as she continues to sit, her back slightly hunched, waiting. Waiting for the clock on her bedside table to hit 11:11. That one minute of escape, where any dreamer could wish upon a non-existent star. There were only a few minutes left; she could make it until then. Weary eyelids close over watery blue, Eloise can't stay awake much longer. Only a few more minutes, the small voice in her head echoes. She can hold on. For a slim moment, her eyelids flutter open and her body twitches slightly to the left. The red digits scream up at her— 11:11.
Without a single clue of how many seconds are left in the minute, she quickly wishes. The woman wishes that her phone will buzz, the vibration sending a chill down her spine. He has to say yes, he has to say he will come back to her. He has to, or everything she knows might be disposed of in a single moment. When she finishes her frantic wishing, the fourth digit changes into a 2. As if everything oozes from her shoulders, a sigh escapes her. Eloise has finished her wish with barely any time to spare. But she has made it, and that is all that mattered. Now, she would wait. Only a few more minutes. It had to come true soon, he was probably ready to head to sleep. Nononono, she whimpers. He needs to answer. He needs to reply, a sign that he still bothers to care.
Then, as she watches the clock still, the phone vibrates in her hand, and a wretched sob dribbles from her lips. Fingers too quick and thoughts too unorganized, she has trouble holding the phone to her face.
One new message.
Yes, oh God, yes! the voice screams. Thumb presses a few buttons and the message is opened. He has replied back, and Eloise nearly falls off her bed with an overwhelming feeling of gratitude. Quietly, she whispers a thanks— to whom is unknown, even to herself, but she thanks nonetheless. When her eyes scan over the small text, her heart nearly consumes itself. For once in her life, nothing in her mind has ever been so clear. Eloise crawls under her comforter and props herself up on one elbow. With a smile, she opens the lid to a prescription bottle. Her head drops lazily upon a goose-feathered pillow and fingers close tightly around the phone, the message still open on its screen. No.
She doesn't wake up in the morning.

After a good 18 years in the shadows, a sequel to legendary blockbuster Independence Day has been confirmed, and we couldn't be happier.
The iconic box office smash was the making of Will Smith's career and took him from Fresh Prince to one of the world's biggest movie stars, but his return is looking unlikely as news begins to leak.
The sequel was given the green light this week by 20th Century Fox and production will begin in May, with a 'hopeful' release date of June 24, 2016.
Obviously, we hope Will changes his mind last minute and decides to get involved, but meanwhile we'll keep our fingers crossed for Jeff Goldblum. Legend.

The 25-year-old has developed into a key player for Benfica since joining the club from Chelsea in 2009.
Matic was strongly linked with a return to Stamford Bridge last summer, but a return to the Blues now seems unlikely.
Benfica would be ready to cash in on the Serbian midfielder as they are struggling to make the next stage of the Champions League.
The Sun reports that United are now ready to go head-to-head with rivals Liverpool in the race to sign the midfielder.

Description from owner
Heron's Nest log cabin, part of Willowbank Lodges, nestles in a small hamlet in the heart of the Pewsey Vale bordering the Kennet and Avon canal. The five luxury log cabins have been solidly built from Russian redwood and are situated in three and a half acres including a private lake and are surrounded by beautiful countryside and a wide variety of wildlife. Heron's Nest cabin directly overlooks the stream and facing due west, is the sunniest cabin on site so gets the sun in the early evening after everyone else has been cast into shade.
Bird lovers will enjoy watching the various families of waterfowl on the lake, including our indigenous pair of swans, herons and our kingfisher who flies up and down both the lake and the stream and can be seen sitting on the railings near the end cabin, Kingfisher, so named.
Ramblers and cyclists alike will enjoy the miles of walks straight from the cabin gates with panoramic views of the Pewsey Vale from Martinsell Hill

Ramblers and cyclists alike will enjoy the miles of walks straight from the cabin gates with panoramic views of the Pewsey Vale from Martinsell Hill and of course we are on the National 4 cycle trail. Our ancient Savernake Forest is only a 5 minute drive away and is quite stunningly beautiful whether you are walking, picnicking or cycling.
The cabins provide a superb holiday base from which to explore the ancient county of Wiltshire and are easily accessed from the M3 and M4. Furthermore, the airports of London Heathrow, Bristol, Southampton and Bournemouth are between one and one and a half hours drive away. The local village of Pewsey is less than two miles away and boasts a good supermarket, butcher, baker, petrol station, garage, Indian restaurant, cafes and pubs and it also has a railway station with a fast train service to London and the West Country.
No smoking is allowed in the cabins but can be enjoyed outside under the cover of the veranda.
Well behaved dogs welcome and verandas now have gates therefore secure for dogs and young children.

Location description from owner
The England region
We are very privileged to be living in an area steeped in tradition and history, with three World Heritage sites within an easy driving distance (Stonehenge, Avebury and Bath). We have many delightful towns and villages to explore, country houses, museums and gardens to visit and plenty of traditional pubs and excellent restaurants.
We have a quick rail link to London from Pewsey Station less than five minutes drive away and you could plan a day/evening out in London to enjoy the sites and take in a theatre. Oxford, Salisbury and Bath are also within a reasonable drive away and offer good shopping, restaurants, theatres and interesting places to visit.
Wiltshire has a variety of landscapes but we are very lucky to be living in this beautiful part of Wiltshire where we can enjoy the wide open spaces of the Marlborough Downs and the Pewsey Vale with its white horses or alternatively walk in the ancient Savernake Forest with all its dappled glades, meandering paths and beautiful old trees, some nearly 1000 years old.
Then the Kennet and Avon canal is a different landscape altogether and you can enjoy long walks from Willowbank Lodges, through little villages with their quaint pubs or hire a boat for the day and go further afield.There really is something for everyone to enjoy in this part of the world.
Pewsey is a charming little village which is less than two miles from Willowbank Lodges and, although small, boasts a surprising number of ameneties. We have an excellent supermarket open seven days a week, a butcher, baker (delicious old fashioned donuts and lardy bread!) petrol station, post office, bank, gift shops, florists, art gallery and visitor centre, internet cafe and various coffee shops and pubs.
In addition, we have an excellent award winning tennis club where Willowbank Lodges has membership for its guests and a leisure centre with a swimming pool, squash courts, etc.
Slightly further afield, Marlborough boasts a large variety of restaurants and pubs, boutiques, antique shops, two fine churches and has the widest high street in the country. Now it is probably more famous for its International Jazz Festival which takes place in July (13th-15th this year) – a glut of musicians and singers, new bands and old favourites from all over the world, really an experience not to miss. Another music festival taking place this year (April 14th) just north of Marlborough is OneFest with Damon Albarn giving us a preview of his Dr Dee.
Local artists open up their studios (Open Studios) to the public during four weekends in July so what with other local musical and artistic events, plenty for those who want to absorb a little local culture.
For those crop circle enthusiasts, we are right in the midst of crop circle country and usually there are quite a number of sometimes quite spectacular crop circles to be found on the Downs or in the Vale, within 10 minutes drive of Willowbank Lodges.

"Fantastic accomodation in the most beautiful and tranquil setting you could ask for"
If you are looking for a tranquil and peaceful location then this is the place for you. Set in a stunning part of the UK these lodges provide everything you could ask for.... and more. Spotlessly clean and very comfortable they are the ideal holiday accomodation, whilst still being great value for money. This is the ideal setting for those travelling with dogs as there is a fully enclosed balcony surrounding each lodge so they can be let easily but safe in the knowledge that they are secure. The cabins are set in a really peaceful location with a lovely lake surrounding them which is teaming with wildlife. The surrounding area provides hours of walking, with stunning views and great pubs on route for a drink and bite to eat. Cant wait to return- the best holiday cottage I have stayed in whilst holidaying in the UK!!
An amazing place to stay. We stayed in Heron Lodge which was so clean and well appointed. The grounds were immaculate and a pleasure to be around. We were lucky to see the Signets and a couple of ducks with their baby; plus a Moorhen. The two parent swans were also a joy to watch how they protected their young. Willowbank is definitely a return visit and not just a once off. Thank you Nicky for your efforts in bringing such an oasis for all to enjoy. Your presence was there but not intrusive which is reassuring to a good holiday. We are definitely coming back. Jan, David and Willow
"Such a lovely, peaceful place"
My husband booked a surprise birthday stay in Heron's Nest and it was wonderful! A romantic, cosy cabin sited right next to a stream that leads to the lake. Sited perfectly for trips to Devizes, Caen Locks and Avebury if you fancy a day out or plenty of walks along the canals and through the fields, we brought our dog along for the trip and he had a wonderful time and was shattered after walks along the canals each afternoon. Nicky is just lovely and has decorated the cabins beautifully and we had everything we could need. And she had kindly posted back my left behind items before I even realised they were missing! We will definitely be visiting Willowbank Lodges again, whether it be just the two of us or with friends in the larger cabins. It was such a lovely break! Thank you Nicky!
"Fabulous weekend getaway"
Cabin was fully kitted out and furnished to a high standard. Location was great as felt like you were in the middle of nowhere however all the amenities you needed in a few minutes drive. Several pubs and nice places to eat out within a short drive. Loads of chances for walking, however the weather was slightly too cold when we went and canal was very muddy due to the sheer amount of rain. Beautiful countryside and very amenable host. Good value for money.
"Lovely location"
We stayed in Heron's Nest for three nights in March. The lodge is one of five in a quiet, secluded location but close to the amenities provided in nearby Pewsey. The lodge is tastefully decorated and was spotless. Everything you could wish for is provided and during the chilly weather was lovely and warm. The lodge is well situated for visiting Stonehenge, Salisbury and Avebury. (We didn't visit as are familiar with this area.) We enjoyed a couple of local walks without the need to move the car. We wouldn't hesitate to return to Heron's nest. The only downside I can think of is that we didn't see a kingfisher!
"Beautiful Lodge in a serene location"
We actually stayed in Kingfisher Lodge which was absolutely perfect. The Lodge was beautiful and we throughly enjoyed our stay. Pewsey wasn't too far so we could pop to the local Co-op for our groceries etc. Lovely canal walks and shopping trips to Devizes and Marlborough (We brought some local black pudding and bacon in the inside market which was fab!) We would definitley go back to Willowbank Lodges again.

Smooth, slow gradations are the signature of the Ombré color range. Ombré yarns come in 75 gram balls in sport and fingering. Freia carefully transitions five or more colors/shades per ball making for very long, yet still dramatic color changes. We suggest working from alternate ends of each ball as you go for smooth color transitions since every ball will begin and end with different colors.
The colors and feel of the yarn are beautiful !

I'm really spending too much time here.
So I just had a weird thought and I can't think of a single place outside of this sub where I could post this shit. Now I know you guys are probably getting tired of me posting here, so call me crazy, tell me why, I'd fucking appreciate it.
Anyway, back to the weird thought. You know how the music back in your day was awesome, and so were the girls, the movies, the games, etc? And now they all suck and people have no fucking talent? Well what if that's what SJW's are all about? I mean, look at the famous ones who really make or have made an impact. Brianna Wu, some tranny who got over $200,000 from his mommy and daddy to start his life after they paid for his college. That's a nice head start, most people don't have that in savings, let alone spare cash to give to their kids. That black guy from Missouri starting shit at his university? His daddy makes $8.4 million a year. That black chick from Yale who acted like a rotten cunt towards that faculty member? She lives in a $720k house. Most SJW's come from San Francisco, a city that's so fucking expensive to live in, it makes New York look like butt fuck Alabama.
Now if you haven't noticed yet, SJW's are pushing every front there is. They're either going for, or have been going for, television, movies, comic books, music, video games, table top gaming, game development, etc. Even online websites/forums like reddit have been completely taken over by them. But it doesn't stop there. Any competition gets destroyed the second it sticks its head up. Slimgur? Alternative to reddits imgur. Post CP on it and kill it. Old tactic used by these people to kill reddits porn subs a few years ago. They even tried that on voat recently after months upon months of DDoS attacks.
So here's how I figure it. These people are the kids of the elite, or at least somewhere in that neighborhood. Now every new generation is scary, it's different, people believe different shit, follow different shit and it takes new tactics to get them to play nice. You're not exactly going to be able to turn Metallica fans into loyal, subservient members of society by using the same tactics you used on Elvis fans. So I figure, the SJW movement is so broad for a reason. They're feeling their way through the new generation and seeing what works (people who fall for the SJW bullshit) and what doesn't (people who reject it). But by seeing how the people who reject it act, they will instantly know what works for those people as well.
So this whole thing could be one giant experiment, getting all the old geezers up to speed, and into the 21st century. All while their kids learn how to run the show by getting some good old practice doing it in real time, with real people, in the real world. That would definitely come in handy if they ever decided to run for politics in 20 years and the rest of us were still around, with our same old ideologies and values. Could be wrong, just a thought.

The Hope Beneath The Rubble In JapanRobert Neff and Larry Holyoke
One of the oldest aphorisms in Japan is jishin, kaminari, kaji, oyaji, or "earthquakes, thunder, fire, and father"--the things Japanese fear most. That's why, since watching the devastation of last year's earthquake in Los Angeles, Japanese authorities assured citizens that local construction codes would prevent freeways from tumbling and buildings from toppling.
So much for official assurances. Measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale, the quake that hit Japan just before dawn on Jan. 17 was 10 times stronger than L.A.'s, tearing apart expressways and buildings. Its death toll is likely to top the 3,769 dead and missing in Japan's last major quake, in 1948. Kobe, with 1.5 million residents, was hit hardest.
Now, a shocked Japan faces a repair bill estimated at $60 billion--and Standard & Poor's Corp. warns that hidden structural damage could dramatically boost the tab. Meanwhile, the quake may have ripple effects overseas--on companies ranging from insurers to notebook computer makers.
Still, in cold economic terms, the devastation looks manageable. Commerce in the affected areas of Hyogo and Osaka, which account for 12.2% of Japan's gross national product and 16% of retail and wholesale sales, will slow. Even though such companies as Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. say profits may be hurt, reconstruction spending could boost Japan's economy by 1.5% over two years, says J.P. Morgan & Co. economist Jesper Koll.
STATESIDE HELP. New investment in public works nationwide could provide further economic stimulus. Although Japan's quake codes are tougher than those in the U.S., "we have to rethink some of our guidelines and strengthen existing roads, train tracks, and old buildings," says Keiichi Otani of the National Research Institute for Earth Science & Disaster Prevention in Tsukuba.
Can Japan's strapped financial system cope? Markets, at least, are voting yes. The Nikkei stock average dropped just 0.6% in the two days following the jolt. One reason: Japan's Finance Ministry already is considering low-interest reconstruction loans to small companies funded by the nation's $1.9 trillion Postal Savings System. And the Bank of Japan is ready to extend cheap loans to insurers to encourage rapid claims payouts. In the end, S&P figures even Japanese insurers may not have to take much of a hit, because what quake insurance there is in Japan is largely reinsured overseas. Says Robert J. Mebus, managing director of S&P's Insurance Rating Services:
"We think we'll find bits and pieces [of problems] among insurers in the U.S."
Still, many Japanese businesses will suffer. Industries from steel to electronics to beer are already coping with severe damage. At Kirin Brewery Co.'s Kansai facility, for example, the earthquake took out 1.5 million liters of bottled beer worth $8 million and halted production. Some observers are fretting about higher steel prices in Asia since many furnaces are built around Kobe.
Japan's vaunted just-in-time inventory system and export machine also will be fouled up by twisted rails and crumpled highways left by the quake. "The major concern I have is the transportation infrastructure," says Ed Brogan, an analyst at Jardine Fleming Securities Ltd. in Tokyo. Indeed, road damage has cut off exports by Omron Corp., a Kyoto components maker, even though its plants were untouched.
RIPPLE EFFECT? The effects on computer makers could ripple worldwide. Some 20% of the world's liquid-crystal-display production--used mainly in notebook computers--is concentrated in Hyogo and Osaka. Display Technologies Inc., a joint venture between IBM and Toshiba Corp., will lose several days of production at its Kobe area plant, where it makes high-grade thin-film transistor screens. And LCD maker Hosiden Corp. has a plant in the heart of Kobe and a new facility under construction. Even if such plants aren't badly damaged, logistical problems could temporarily halt shipments of LCDs.
Japan already is girding for the Big One many experts think could hit Tokyo one day. Design codes and safety measures probably will get stricter. "Our thinking has been too lax," says Otani. In a nation perhaps more alert to the dangers of earthquakes than any other, that's a telling admission.


text: Researchers – who are in no way affiliated with the program being studied – weren't expecting these results. Research on the effect of random drug testing in high schools, or among athletes, has been mixed, and indicated that the most likely effects would come from students being less likely to use drugs because of fear that they'd be tested in the future, or from increased knowledge about how many of their peers were using drugs."People expect students to say, 'I'm not going to do drugs now because I might be tested tomorrow,' but that's just not how kids and teenagers think," said Cassino. "What seems to be happening is that students who've been tested start to realize what a big deal it is, and stay away from drugs in the future." The results also indicate that drug and alcohol use in middle school is relatively rare. For instance, only about 1 percent of 8 th graders give answers that indicate that they have ever used illicit drugs, and only about 14 percent indicate that they have ever drunk alcohol (other than in circumstances where it's allowed, such as religious ceremonies). Among students who were tested for drugs and alcohol at some point, though, that figure of 14 percent drops by more than half to 6 percent. The study surveyed more than 3,500 students at New Jersey middle and high schools over a seven year period. The names of the schools participating in the surveys are not disclosed by the researchers in order to protect student confidentiality.

The Beginning
In a world where knowing a person's name gives you the ultimate power over that person....
She had straw-yellow hair, and sparkly blue eyes.
"What do you want to name her, Milligan?" The miller's wife asked.
Milligan took the baby girl and decided immediately. His wife liked it.
"Wonderful name. But what will we call her?"
Milligan was confused. "Why not just call her by her name?"
His wife sighed. "For the same reason I call you Milligan."
Milligan nodded. He knew she had a point. Names in this kingdom had a power.
"Millie, then." He finally said, "She will be called Millie, because I am called Milligan."
"Very nice, dear." His wife lay back, and closed her eyes. "Millie."
Milligan was just a miller, and his daughter a miller's daughter, but far away there was a prince being named.
The queen was tired. "You can't call him Kingston." She told her husband stubbornly. "His brother already has to be called Kingsley. We can't have a Kingston and a Kingsley in the family."
"Well, what do you want to call him, then?" The king asked, folding his arms across his chest, like a small child.
"Caleb." The queen said simply. "We'll call him Caleb."
The king frowned. "That's all very well," He said, "But what will his name be?"
The queen studied her baby boy's dark hair and emerald green eyes, and she knew.
"Very well." The king said when he told her. "But I'd still prefer Kingston."
And so the two children grew up, being called Caleb and Millie, but knowing inside their true names, and longing to tell someone. They grew up worlds apart, but when two children are born at the same time, they don't stay separate forever.
Destiny would never allow it.

Agreed, Although distributed caches appear like a fix all solution replicated, and to some extents invalidated caches always seem to choke on traffic levels when a cache really starts to matter. Having used ehcache (which is good as a cache impl with jmx) reasonably extensively some observations. Under the Cache layer (as opposed to a layer that knows something about the app) Replication is best totally avoided as a way of making a cluster scale to more than a few nodes. Invalidation can be effective, provide its not used to trigger reload and the invalidation traffic isn't massive. Over in Shindig, there is a simple Cache API with memcached and ehcache default implementations. Most deployers tune those or replace with their own local implementations, putting cluster wide code below the Cache API and above the cache implementation. Putting the cache below the persistence api, or using a cache API would, IMHO address most of these issue. BTW, JSR-107 looks rather dead, and I found it lacking is certain areas.

Excited to see Zelalem play!
not exactly an exciting game from him. almost had a great assist but other than that, he seemed to connect play more than trying to create anything or take people on. which is too bad.
He's a central midfielder, who is 17 and trying to make an impression on the manager. As a cm, you don't take people on too often, unless you want the ball to get taken from you in tight spaces. If you have watched him, besides this game, he is very creative and has great vision. You can't play through balls 24/7.
i'm well aware of who he is, obviously. that's not the point. also, he was the RM in this game, granted with a lot of freedom to move around.
i totally understand him not trying to take everyone on and playing safe balls as he is just trying to show Wenger he can be a solid team player. that, however, does not change the fact that i would have loved to see him try to take someone on at least once.
and yes, i've seen him in other games where he HAS shown that quality. im simply saying it would have been cool to see it against NY.
i'm not sure what your point is when you say, "You can't play through balls 24/7." did i say something to suggest otherwise?
Well, yes. You said, "which is too bad." That indicates that you were disappointed by his play. Personally, I was relatively impressed. He certainly did not look out of place in a highly skilled Arsenal side. That's impressive in itself. RM in a 4-3-3 such as Arsenal plays is not a wing position. They essentially play 3 CMs which they use to combine, possess the ball and pass it up the pitch. That's why they have essentially 4 good CM's in Ramsey, Wilshere, Ozil and Cazorla. In this sense, Zelalem fit in perfectly. He played a ton of smart, safe balls that either held possession or opened up the field. I don't remember a single turnover, and when he was in the position to combine or play a through ball, he did so. He may be more in the mold of Xavi than Ronaldinho. There's certainly nothing wrong with that. Of course, there was very little ball pressure or physical play in this match, so we have no conception of his ability to handle the kind of play he will experience in the BPL. I have no idea if he's ready in that sense. We will have to see. In my opinion, though, this was relatively promising.
not disappointed in his play, just disappointed that i didn't get to see that part of his game. i even said he connected play, just wish he had created more. that is not me saying he was bad.
for sure, but Arsenal played a 4-4-2 a lot today and you could see him in a traditional RM position for most of his half. the commentators even pointed that out. he had times in a more CM position, but he ALWAYS made his way back to a traditional RM position.
again guys, i think you are reading way too much into my comment. the OP said he was excited to see him play and i responded it wasn't the most exciting performance. that does not mean it was bad, unimpressive, or that he looked out of place. my comment is simply saying he kept it simple rather than flashy. nothing more, nothing less. and yes, that in and of itself IS impressive because he could have gone out there and tried to boss the field only to fail. again, good performance, just not "exciting", IMO.
I see what you are saying now. That makes sense, though I thought his performance was very exciting, but then I love watching great vision, smarts, passing, combination play and technique as much as I love watching guys run at defenders. I have to respectfully disagree with your tactical assessment as that's not what I saw at all. To me, GZ was constantly drifting inside. All his best touches were inside as his 2 near assists were actually both slightly to the left of the left goal post. I don't think I saw his heels hit the chalk once all day. I also don't see how to call it a 4-4-2 as Arsenal doesn't play that formation and who were the 2 forwards??? Out of curiosity, when did you see GZ run at defenders? He hasn't played more than a handful of BPL minutes in which he played very conservatively and he didn't play any streamed youth matches that I'm aware of.
Tom – fair enough, and i like those things too. i thought he showed smart and accurate passing, but only one real glimpse of his vision was the almost-assist (ridiculous save from Robles). which was sick. but as far as technique, he didn't show anything out of the ordinary in this particular game. obviously he has those qualities, but today he played it safe. lots of lateral and back passes…which is totally fine…just not "exciting" which is why i responded in the first place.
"To me, GZ was constantly drifting inside. All his best touches were inside as his 2 near assists were actually both slightly to the left of the left goal post."
absolutely, not trying to argue that. i said he had a lot of freedom. but he drifted inside because he was starting wide every time. he touched the chalk multiple times.
"I also don't see how to call it a 4-4-2 as Arsenal doesn't play that formation and who were the 2 forwards???"
for one, this is preseason for them, so it's going to look different here and there. but more importantly, no team stays in one formation. that said, maybe 4-4-2 wasn't the most accurate description because it wasn't a typical 4-4-2. it did happen at one point though starting around 10 minutes in and crystal clear around the 12th/13th minutes. but again, that is beside the point. look at most of his touches in the 1st half, wide right. it's that simple.
"Out of curiosity, when did you see GZ run at defenders? He hasn't played more than a handful of BPL minutes in which he played very conservatively and he didn't play any streamed youth matches that I'm aware of."
Preseason last year. he was the star of their east Asia tour and it was that preseason that got people saying he was the next Cesc. and even that was highlights posted to YouTube. i certainly haven't seen it live or on TV in a BPL game.
and to be clear, i know he is a CM and that is the position everyone expects him to play. my comments today about RM were simply based on where he got the vast majority of his touches.
should have known it wouldn't take long for some US fan to make this:
i think this video sums it up nicely. when i watch that, i think "solid" but "exciting" is a bit strong, IMO. the video shows that the vast majority of his touches were wide right but he had a lot of freedom. and like you said, he drifted inside a lot and was constantly moving around. heck, he was playing LM at one point.
like you and I both said, and like this video shows, he connected well enough and kept the ball moving. but nothing in here to point out and say, "WOW!" which, again, is totally fine with me given he had a solid performance. only a few giveaways in 45 minutes. certainly not complaining.
Right after Julian Green's USMNT debut vs Mexico this site was flooded with similar commentary about Green's future.
And Zelalem is 2 years younger and has not yet declared for the US.
I'm sure Arsene Wenger has been wrong about a player but I am not personally aware of another 17 year old US prospective midfielder with a good shot at the Arsenal first team in the next year or two. So Gedion has that air of "can't miss" about him. Still, he might not pan out.
Sebastian Lletget is 21, is already an American citizen (however is a friend of Rossi so he should be under suspicion), plays basically the same position for West Ham, another EPL team, has just as many league appearances for their first team as Zelalem has for his (0), and has been the next big USMNT thing since 2010. Or was until everyone forgot about him.
But then Sebastian is not a hyped up dual national that the US is courting. And he is not at a glamour team ( the late OB Ladin's fave team) like the Gunners. West Ham sucks.
Everyone wants the hot new girl in town and forgets about the girls with the nice personality who have always been around.
Names like Luis Gil, Mix Diskerud, Kelyn Rowe, Duane Holmes, Emerson Hyndman (remember his dad?), Dillon Powers, Alejandro Guido come to mind. Boring guys.
The nice thing is that this go around JK will have two Gold Cups ( A team for the first one this time), the Copa America, the Olympics and hopefully, the Confed Cup to sort out all these players.
And Brad Davis will move to left back for the USMNT in 2018.
is this eastern time?
Dang. Rooney with a blast. Preseason but still a terrific goal.
Corona and Garza starting against America. Arriola on the bench.
Corona almost playing like a striker. interesting. Garza almost just got beat over the top after being caught forward. luckily the America player missed.
Corona back into a midfield position. Garza passes out of the back to Corona who has a sublime touch to beat his man and start a counter. Corona sends a nice pass to the striker and America takes him out in the box. PK. 1-0 TJ.
Bradley and TFC surprisingly picking apart SKC so far.
TFC with some great chances in this one to go on top but have missed or been denied by the posts. Besler just sent off with second yellow 15 minutes to play
SKC with absolutely no clue how to handle Oduro's speed as he's been running past defenders all night. He finally draws a (questionable?) second yellow on Besler. MB with some wonderful set piece deliveries but Henry and co. showing very poor finishing.
agree with all, but SKC scores with 10 men
Hahahaha! And SKC shows how a team usually trumps a mere collection of good players as they score completely against the run of play on a terrible TFC breakdown.
and can't forget to thank TFC's Jackson for his numerous almosts but no cigar
and Henry too lol!
I've seen Henry badly miss 4 wide open headers this season. I think they've all been off of MB balls, too. I always liked the kid and his potential, but he's killed TFC this season. He's been nothing short of awful.
Man, Rowe put it on a plate for Fagundez a few minutes ago and Diego plays with it. Strike the ball, young man. Now Finlay scores for Columbus and NE's misery continues.

I certainly believe it could happen. Hope it really is.
Remember when the Virgin Mary appeared at a Coptic Church in Egypt—she always appears in places that will soon be enmeshed in bloodshed and violence. Many Muslims cast away their prayer rugs and were baptized as Christians. Jesus hears our cries and our prayers are answered. Look to see his divine hand working in our land soon!

The Buddha of Suburbia is a 1993 soundtrack album by David Bowie which accompanied the 4-part television serial The Buddha of Suburbia on BBC2 (itself adapted from the book The Buddha of Suburbia by Hanif Kureishi).
The album is a soundtrack album, sitting between Black Tie White Noise (1993) and Outside (1995). It was produced and mixed at Mountain Studios (Montreux) in Switzerland and according to Bowie it took only six days to write and record, but fifteen days to mix due to some "technical breakdowns".[3]
The album has been classified as a soundtrack although the title track was the only song to be featured in the television programme (see below).
Two of the tracks are ambient instrumentals and quite similar to Bowie's work with Brian Eno in the late 1970s. Other tracks on the album make strong use of saxophone, electronic keyboards and piano.
Although classified on the album cover as a soundtrack, this album is not the soundtrack Bowie wrote for the BBC dramatisation of Hanif Kureishi's book with the same name (which remains unreleased). Rather, after writing the actual soundtrack Bowie decided to work further on the same motifs, creating the radically different pieces that are heard on the album. Only the title track remained unaltered from the original soundtrack.[3]
Despite Bowie once hailing it as his favourite album,[4] the European (released in 1993) and the American (released in 1995) versions were deleted for many years, or as Bowie put it: "The album itself only got one review, a good one as it happens, and is virtually non-existent as far as my catalogue goes – it was designated a soundtrack and got zilch in the way of marketing money. A real shame."[4]
To confuse matters even more, a "Buddha of Suburbia" single was also released in various guises, including a CD with holographic print. Consequently, the album itself is sometimes overlooked, despite the fact it is a full-length studio recording and featured ten tracks previously unreleased by the artist. "The Buddha of Suburbia" shows Bowie's talent as a musician; in fact on this record, he plays many instruments with the help of the multi-instrumentalist Erdal Kızılçay. Mike Garson plays piano on two tracks and Lenny Kravitz plays guitar on the title track (alternative version).
The album was re-issued on 17 September 2007,[5] in the UK and on 2 October 2007[6] in the US. The official press release showed that the cover of the re-issue would be similar to the 1995 US cover, but in colour and Bowie holding a slightly different pose, however, the actual cover is just a colourised version of the original US cover art. The re-issue contains both Bowie's former liner notes from the original UK issue and the inner artwork of the original US issue.
On the European version of the album Bowie provides comprehensive liner notes on the themes and production techniques involved, and reveals a list of 'residue from the 1970s' as his inspiration for the songs. The list includes the following references:
Free association lyrics, Pink Floyd, Harry Partch, Costume, Blues Clubs, Unter den Linden, Brucke Museum, Pet Sounds, Friends of the Krays, Roxy Music, T-Rex, The Casserole, Neu, Kraftwerk, Bromley, Croydon, Eno, Prostitutes & Soho, Ronnie Scott's Club, Travels through Russia, Loneliness, O'Jays, Philip Glass in New York clubs, Die Mauer, Drugs.[3]

Ripoff Report
TXUDALLAS MEXIA, Texas USA
TXU TEXAS Over charging on surcharges and changing rate without notification MEXIA Texas
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Called to check on my high bill on Dec 3, 2013, they notified me I was paying 14c per killowatt when I was suppose to be non the monthly average plan, told them I wanted to leave company they convinced me to stay if they lowered the rate to 7c per k, 10 days later get another high bill with same old rate, I understand its probably part of the old rate but it should reflect part of the bill with the new rate, an still shows same old plan on bill. Also they offer a warranty for A/C unit for $15 month I accepted, assured me it was effective imediately,
well 10 days later my unit started acting up but since I didn't have any info about the warranty (supposed to get info in mail after agreement, never did) I called TXU to obtain phone number for warranty co and double check on effective date I also requested a client number they told me "again" eff date is imediately and don't need any client number but TXU account number. Called first thing they ask is account number (txu's acc didn't work) so they looked me up by name and address, and you guess right effective day is 30 days after registering. Just to wrap up this I like to mention: "SURCHARGES FEES" $59.79
Now I have a contract for 2 years that I "MUST HONOR"

Story Behind this Recipe
I once read about a toasted sandwich with a chocolate bar in the middle.
With that in mind, I also added a banana to make it even more filling, and toasted it in a frying pan.
I guess it's a little fattening, but everyone needs that once a while.
