Picking the Right Distribution
Over the past twenty years, Linux has moved from being something utterly incomprehensible to many, to being a viable operating system for most users.
Hardware support used to be patchy Top 3 Websites To Check Whether Your Hardware Is Supported By Linux Top 3 Websites To Check Whether Your Hardware Is Supported By Linux No operating system will have support for every single piece of hardware out of the box, and it's important to know which ones have that support.

Some are aimed at a specific niche, like digital creatives or scientists The 5 Ultimate Scientific Linux Distributions The 5 Ultimate Scientific Linux Distributions What are scientific Linux distributions?

These only have a few users, if any. The biggest distributions are the ones you should care about, and those that tend to be more generally focused. Right now, Ubuntu (and the Ubuntu-like distributions) are amongst the most popular for consumers and office users. These are the ones you should use for your home office.
You can even buy computers with Ubuntu preinstalled How to Choose the Best Laptop to Install Linux How to Choose the Best Laptop to Install Linux It's never been harder to install Linux on a laptop. No longer a matter of downloading, burning, and hoping for a compatible WiFi card, these laptops, new and old, are your best option. Read More . You'll find a number of boutique, Linux-oriented manufacturers exist, like System76. But some major computer manufacturers, like Dell, sell machines preinstalled with Ubuntu. If you're so inclined, you could even pick up an old MacBook Air on eBay and install Ubuntu onto it!
As a bonus, most commercial Linux software is packaged for Ubuntu and Ubuntu-derivative systems. If you use another distro, you might have to use some complicated command-line-fu to get it running on your machine.
Printers and Other Peripherals
Moving on, let's talk about printer and hardware support.
The reality is that most home offices tend to be austere, cheap machines bought off-the-shelf from Best Buy, or similar big box computer stores. They're not going to ship with any exotic hardware, like a top-tier graphics card. Even if it does, chances are good that there'll be native driver support for it.
But what about peripherals? Well, again, you've got nothing to worry about there. Linux is great for its support of third-party peripherals, like USB headsets, webcams, keyboards and mice.
Even when it comes to printer support Printing on Linux: Choosing The Right Printer and Getting It To Work Printing on Linux: Choosing The Right Printer and Getting It To Work One of the few pieces of hardware that may cause the most trouble on a Linux system is a printer. If it's supported, it'll take a few steps to get it to work. Read More , Linux shines. Most printers work well, largely thanks to the widespread adoption of CUPS – the Common Unix Printing System – and manufacturers actually releasing their own drivers. But if there's any doubt, the Ubuntu website has a comprehensive list of supported third-party printers.
But if you really want to be safe, you should get a HP ePrint compatible printer. Not only do these allow you to print from anywhere in the world, just using your email, but they're also essentially platform agnostic.
Transferring Your Files Over
Once you've settled on the distribution you're going to use, and ensured all your peripherals work, you're going to want to move all your files over. This can be done in a couple of ways.
Firstly, there's the tried-and-tested external hard drive. Large terabyte hard drives can be found for less than $60. It's worth noting that if your machine supports USB 3.0 USB 3.0: Everything You Need to Know USB 3.0: Everything You Need to Know USB 3.0 beats USB 2.0 in so many ways. Here's everything you need to know about why you should always pick USB 3.x when possible.

But what if you want to transfer your files over the network?
Well, you could set up a local file share. I'm going to recommend against this though, for the simple reason that if a Windows machine on the network gets infected with ransomware Don't Fall Foul of the Scammers: A Guide To Ransomware & Other Threats Don't Fall Foul of the Scammers: A Guide To Ransomware & Other Threats Read More , it would affect all the files available through the network share.
Plus, it's something that differs between distributions, and cannot be succinctly be explained in a couple of paragraphs.
Thankfully, several great third-party services can be depended upon. If you've got a lot of files to transfer, you'll probably hit the limits of Dropbox and SpiderOak rather quickly. But thankfully, there's BitTorrent Sync From Pirate Darling To Dropbox Alternative: BitTorrent Sync Lets You Keep Your Files Synchronized Across Machines From Pirate Darling To Dropbox Alternative: BitTorrent Sync Lets You Keep Your Files Synchronized Across Machines Cloud-based file sync services are easy to use and work well, but your privacy may or may not be your first priority. Not to mention the fact that these services always come with a storage... Read More .
The free version is pretty solid, and will allow you to shift unlimited files between machines. Seriously, as many as you want. There's no fair-usage limit either, since your files aren't going through their servers, but directly to the computer you're transferring them to.
The biggest downside is that it can be really slow, especially when compared to directly copying it to a hard drive. Moreover, if your ISP is one that throttles BitTorrent traffic Check If Your ISP Throttling Your BitTorrent Downloads Check If Your ISP Throttling Your BitTorrent Downloads Read More , you can expect it to be even slower. Sadly, it's impossible for ISPs to differentiate between illegitimate and legitimate BitTorrent traffic 8 Legal Uses For BitTorrent: You'd Be Surprised 8 Legal Uses For BitTorrent: You'd Be Surprised Like HTTP, which your browser uses to communicate with websites, BitTorrent is just a protocol. You could use your browser to download pirated content, just as you could use a BitTorrent client to download pirated... Read More , so they just treat it all the same.
But if you're not too worried about time, or don't mind leaving your computer on overnight to transfer your files over, BitTorrent Sync is the program for you.
Choosing the Right Productivity Suite
Moving on, we'll now focus on document management and office productivity, since that's the main job of a home office computer. As you might expect, office productivity on Linux is a bit of a minefield, and it's easy to use the wrong program, simply out of ignorance.
It should go without saying that there's no version of Microsoft Office for Linux. But that's okay, because its role is filled by two competing versions of (essentially) the same program, as well as legion of online office suites.
OpenOffice vs LibreOffice: Which One Should You Use?
Let's jump into the deep end by looking at LibreOffice and OpenOffice. Although they're often confused and conflated with each other, these two programs couldn't be any more different, and have a history filled with acrimony and turmoil.
The story starts in 1999, when Sun Microsystems acquired a German startup called StarDivision, who were working on a free, cross-platform office suite called StarOffice. Sun immediately renamed it to OpenOffice, and released it to the open-source community under a permissive open source license. It was a hit.
But there wasn't much money to be made in giving away a fully-featured office suite. It didn't help that Sun was having money problems independent of OpenOffice. In 2010, they were (controversially) bought out by Oracle.
Oracle is a controversial company in the open source community. After a few years, the core OpenOffice developers decided to defect, and forked the code Open Source Software and Forking: The Good, The Great and The Ugly Open Source Software and Forking: The Good, The Great and The Ugly Sometimes, the end-user benefits greatly from forks. Sometimes, the fork is done under a shroud of anger, hatred and animosity. Let's look at some examples. Read More to LibreOffice. This became the main rival to OpenOffice.
(Something similar happened with MySQL, with some dissatisfied developers forking it, to create rival MariaDB.)
Oracle rapidly lost enthusiasm for maintaining OpenOffice, and in 2011 they gave it to the Apache Foundation, who have been maintaining it ever since as Apache OpenOffice.
At face value, both products are fundamentally similar. They both include programs for making presentations and dealing with spreadsheets. You can use both to write word documents and to draw diagrams. But some key differences give LibreOffice a massive advantage.
LibreOffice has a superior development strategy. While most end-users don't (and shouldn't) care about this, it ultimately translates to it getting security and performance updates quicker. LibreOffice also has better (but not perfect) compatibility with Microsoft Office file formats, and a sleeker aesthetic. It's just better Is LibreOffice Worthy of the Office Crown? Is LibreOffice Worthy of the Office Crown? LibreOffice is the king of free office suites. It's unlikely to replace Microsoft Office in a business environment, but it's an excellent alternative for casual users. Here's what's new in LibreOffice 5.1. Read More .
Apache OpenOffice on the other hand is, for all intents and purposes, on life support. It's struggled to attract and retain developers, and sorely lags when it comes to updates. This terminal decline probably won't be reversed.
It's for this reason why most distributions, including Ubuntu and Linux Mint, ship LibreOffice as their default built-in office suite. So, in most cases, you don't even have to worry about installing office software when you switch to Linux!
Office Document Compatibility
For the most part, LibreOffice does a good job of maintaining compatibility with Microsoft Office. If you're editing (or creating) documents of low-to-medium complexity, you should be fine, although in my experience, documents can look subtly different from system to system.
But there's something you should be aware of. If you're working with a document that uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) or macros to automate certain tasks, you're going to be in a world of hurt. Compatibility for this on LibreOffice is poor to say the very least. That's because the programming language and APIs (application programming interfaces What Are APIs, And How Are Open APIs Changing The Internet What Are APIs, And How Are Open APIs Changing The Internet Have you ever wondered how programs on your computer and the websites you visit "talk" to each other? Read More ) they use are fundamentally different.
There are converters, like those from Business Spreadsheets, but they can be very hit and miss. Realistically though, if you've got any spreadsheets or documents with VBA code, you'll almost certainly have to re-write them with LibreOffice Basic.
Actually Running Microsoft Office
The latest version of Microsoft Office for Windows is awesome. It's understandable if you are reluctant to to switch to LibreOffice from it.
Sadly though, it doesn't work with Wine or CrossOver Linux. Neither, for that matter, does the second-newest version of Office, Microsoft Office 2013. They fail to install completely.
However, if you're happy to lower your sights a little bit, Microsoft's Office 2010 is reported to work well on CrossOver Linux. Although it's getting harder and harder to find, you can still get your hands on legit copies from Amazon and eBay.
Alternatively, if you've got a spare license key for Windows, you could run it in a virtual machine Migrate to Linux without Leaving Windows Behind with a Virtual Machine Conversion Migrate to Linux without Leaving Windows Behind with a Virtual Machine Conversion You can have the best of both worlds: Merge Linux with your Windows setup. We show you how to import your complete Windows system into a virtual machine running in Linux. Read More . Of course, this wouldn't be a seamless experience.
What about Online Office Suites?
Of course, there is another option. We are, of course, talking about online office suites which run in your browser. The two most well-known are Zoho and Google Docs.
But there's a lesser-known one by Microsoft called Office Online. You can get it for free Don't Pay For Word! 5 Reasons You Should Use Office Online Don't Pay For Word! 5 Reasons You Should Use Office Online Office Online is the free and cloud-connected version of Microsoft Office. Limitations are compensated by features, useful even to users of desktop Office. Best of all is its Read More . Although, if you want all the features of Office Online, you're going to need an Office 365 subscription, although there is an option for a free trial, for anyone who isn't keen on committing to something they haven't tried.
This comes with pretty much every component of Microsoft Office you could possibly need, like Word, Powerpoint, and Excel. It has all the features most home and business users require. As a bonus, it also works on Linux.
Linux Was Made for the Home Office
Although things won't work exactly as they do on Windows, Linux is a great platform for the home office. Especially when you consider that it's faster, and way more secure than Windows.
While you might miss the features of some Windows-only programs, you can guarantee that the Linux versions are almost as good, if not better.
Have you switched your home office to Linux? Tell me about it in the comments below!

I've recently made the switch to running Linux instead of MS in my home office. I am fortunate enough to have a passion for technology, and therefore I decided to use Gentoo (my favorite linux distro). Using Linux for your home office, or your office is not a step I would take lightly. It is true, Linux doesn't get malware, it's more secure, it's cleaner, it runs faster, it's highly configurable and MUCH more stable. Once the learning curve (which is not for the faint of heart) levels off, using Linux as your OS for your office is a breeze. Costs go down, computer replacement happens less often and you also have the most technologically advanced OS. I haven't found any issues with Libre Office (I can open any excel file, word file, etc.), Thunderbird is a dynamite email client and printing is also a breeze. All that said, if someone was to ask me if they should convert their systems to Linux, I would suggest learning a more advanced distro like Debian, Arch, Gentoo, etc. and then run Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Xubuntu. This will make the migration much, much easier and if you have employees, you can help them as well.
I am sorry but neither LibreOffice nor OpenOffice work well enough to be considered serious competitors for Microsoft Office. You only need to look at the number of complaints online regarding problems with images in LibreOffice to understand that. I have battled for days to try to have my images (about 100) in a 50 page document stay where I place them. It simply doesn't work. There are many other bugs (or at the very least annoyances) that have been reported for a number of years and never show any signs of being fixed.
I did switch.....just not to Linux; installed Mac OSX on PC and never have to worry about anything. As for my family shared PC, somehow it would catch AIDS every week, two weeks tops (behind NAT, definitely a user problem)...first solution was installing Linux. Let them try Ubuntu, Mint, Fedora, figured these were the "best starter" distros. Everyone hated it so much the PC became abandoned....compatibility between MSOffice was quite crap in the past, especially for modern .docx, .xlsx, .pptx file extensions. Since the day I installed OSX onto it, not only do they love the machine, I never have to do any wiping/ridding malware, and never ever have to screw around with any sort of broken package BS that's all too common in Linux.
Microsoft Office is -THE- standard, whether I/you like it or not; nothing is more annoying and frustrating than sharing documents with group members, only to find either you can't see the correct formatting, or the file that you sent is incompatible on the other end.
- "Aint nobody got time for that"
Your operating system is only as good as the software that drives it...Linux sure has come a long way, but still has a _VERY_ long way to go.
I thought I would throw in my 2 cents for what its worth. I have been using Linux since Slackware 1.0.0 and Mac since 1.0 and I use Windows at work a lot so I have had a try at a lot of different OS approaches (not to mention BeOS, OS2). While I run on a El Capitan at home and Windows 7 Pro at work, my current favourite Linux distro is Elementary which is based on Ubuntu (I have used Ubuntu, RH, Mint etc). Its clean interface reminds me of OSX but most of all things pretty much work without a lot of hassle (I run then on Virtual Box ). Oddly enough, my 32bit distro seems a bit snappier than the 64bit so most of my experience is there. I would suggest if you are a Windows user and want to try Linux, get VirtualBox from Oracle and try one of the many prebuilt Linux machines with the different distros and see which suites you.. then you can install it natively:) Best of Luck!
On Windows, OpenOffice performance is better than LibreOffice.
I've been an OpenSuse guy for many years, at home and at work, but since they re-branded it as Leap, I haven't been as thrilled as I was. Since then I've switched to Mint and I love it. There have only been a few rare instances where I absolutely must have a specific Windows app, but I've never had a problem running Windows as a VM and I've noticed that Windows seems to run better as a VM on my Linux box than it does natively. I have no intention of going back to Windows.
What about WPS office?
I use it on my Chalet OS distro and it has been great.
Granted I am not a home business user but I think most people who do would love it since it is very similar in look and feel to the suite everyone is used to.
This is great and all. I'm glad that so many are having great success with Ubuntu. I am not. Nothing works, and to even attempt the very simplest things requires me to look up a kb command on ask ubuntu.com which most of the time just doesn't do the trick.
Still, I found inspiration in this article and decided to give Ubuntu another try. Guess what? My attempt to use LibreOffice Base failed because I can't get at my files due to some kind of permissions error. Once again, I have to go askubuntu.com. Once again, I try a kb cmd. And once I can't do one of what ought to be the easiest of tasks.
So my ubuntu machine is pretty much limited to browsing. I can't print out; even though it recognizes the printer. I can't even get dropbox or teamviewer to work. Useless.
And by the way, I can do some of the most advanced functions on a Windows machine AND on a Mac with ease; including kb commands! And I am one of the highest levels of tech support in our organization. So I'm not computer illiterate.
I am so thankful I left this machine on dual boot with Windows XP. At least I can disconnect the Internet and use it for something.
I would try to find a forum to help me, but I've seen newbies flamed. But nonetheless, I am still open-minded enough that if someone knows of a forum where the Ubuntu elite are patient and gentle with newbies, I'm willing to give it a try.
In the small engineering office I worked at, everyone else had Windows and I got a 6 year old PC. I put Mint on it and never looked back. We collaborated on proposals and reports (that had to look perfect) and presentations. I edited videos and images, did engineering simulations and schematics.
At home I can dual boot all my machines (they started on Windows) but haven't bothered in months or years.
I use ubuntu 16.04 beta 1 and its working like a charm on my mac mini 2007 and an old sahara laptop. internet is blazing fast than when i was running windows 7 on both machines. I rely on internet sharing and ubuntu internet sharing is faster then windows ics .Tried and tested. I run a studio and downloading is a breeze with ubuntu mate. Office work is flawles with libre , however if i need complex docs i run virtual machine with office 2016 us for that purpose.
"...if you've got any spreadsheets or documents with VBA code, you'll almost certainly have to re-write them with LibreOffice Basic."
This is why I couldn't switch to Linux.
I have been using Moneydance for several years now. I switched to it from Quicken when I converted to running Linux full time. I have not looked back.
I use Quicken 2014 with Crossover by Codeweavers. Works 'natively'.
Switched to using linux for my home office over 5 years ago and have never looked back. i often find that certain things are done with much more simplicity as compared to microsoft.
Things that i am able to do in linux: email, documents, netflix, listen to music, print (canon mf4350d with tplink print server for wireless access) and it all works.
My laptop has never had any major issues and am always so happy to be able to open my laptop and know that my computer just works and is reliable and dependable and is a no fuss operating system allowing me to get things done!

"Defending cricket champions HEC had their task cut out with 13 teams from top business schools such as Oxford Business School, London Business School, Cambridge Business School, participating in a format that was fast paced and left very little room for error for the participating teams. HEC had 2 teams participating: HEC 1 captained by Kejal Shah and HEC 2 captained by Ankit Khanna.
As luck would have it, HEC 1 started slowly by crashing to a huge defeat at the hands of Cranfield School of Management. Although they recovered well in the very next game by dishing out a similar treatment to Cambridge Business School, all thanks to a brilliant and stroke filled innings by Anubhav Mishra, the margin of defeat in the first match weighed heavily against HEC 1 while calculating the net run rate that decided the qualifier from the group.
The early exit of HEC 1 from the group stages meant that all expectations were now from HEC 2 as they began their campaign with a match against Manchester Business School. It was perhaps the most exciting match of the tournament; a match that was undecided till the last ball was bowled. Again, HEC 2 fell short of Manchester Business School's target by just 4 runs. The format of the game did not allow HEC 2 to make a comeback and they too failed to qualify for the semi-finals.
The two semi-finals featured Oxford taking on Manchester and LBS taking on Cambridge. Oxford went on to win the semi-finals and the finals comfortably and deserved to win the Gold as they had convincingly won all their matches. London Business School won the silver and Manchester Business School won the bronze medal."

it is eIF5-induced GTP (show AK3 Antibodies) hydrolysis and Pi release that irreversibly trap the 48S complex, and this complex is further stabilized by eIF5B (show EIF5B Antibodies) and 60S joining.
The N-terminal tail of eIF1A (show EIF1AX Antibodies) mediates the interaction with eIF5 and eIF1 (show EIF1 Antibodies).
Coordinated movements of eukaryotic translation initiation factors eIF1 (show EIF1 Antibodies), eIF1A (show EIF1AX Antibodies), and eIF5 trigger phosphate release from eIF2 (show EIF2S1 Antibodies) in response to start codon recognition by the ribosomal preinitiation complex
This study provides mechanistic insight into the role of eIF5-carboxyl terminal domain's dynamic interplay with eIF1 and eIF2beta.
miR (show MLXIP Antibodies)-5787 represses cell growth, in part, by targeting eIF5.
CK2 (show CSNK2A1 Antibodies) may be involved in the regulation of cell cycle progression by associating with and phosphorylating a key molecule for translation initiation.
3-dimensional solution structure of N-terminal domain of human eIF5, has 2 (show HAS2 Antibodies) subdomains, both reminiscent of nucleic-acid-binding modules. N-terminal subdomain contains "arginine finger" motif essential for GAP function.
The carboxy-terminal domain (CTD)of eIF5 is exclusively composed out of alpha-helices and is homologous to the carboxy-terminal domain of eIF2B (show EIF2B1 Antibodies)-epsilon (eIF2Bepsilon (show EIF2B5 Antibodies)-CTD). The binding sites of eIF2-beta, eIF3 (show EIF3A Antibodies) and eIF1 (show EIF1 Antibodies) were mapped onto the structure.
Eukaryotic translation initiation factor-5 (EIF5) interacts with the 40S initiation complex to promote hydrolysis of bound GTP with concomitant joining of the 60S ribosomal subunit to the 40S initiation complex. The resulting functional 80S ribosomal initiation complex is then active in peptidyl transfer and chain elongations (summary by Si et al., 1996

It's been a few weeks since our stay at At Willow Pond Bed and Breakfast and I'm excited to tell everyone how great this place is. We arrived about an hour early and were greeted by Claire who was in the process of preparing our room. We asked if we could explore the property in the meantime. The property is filled with different animals to go out and visit. One of the two horses in the pasture came to the edge of the driveway to say hello and look for treats from the new guests. We decided to relax on the front porch swing. When it was time to head in the house smelled of toasted marshmallows (which Claire admitted was an experiment gone wrong in the kitchen) We were escorted to our room. Claire pointed out all of our amenities and made sure we had everything we needed. We stayed in the Sunrise Suit which was a GREAT room. Electric fireplace, king size COMFORTABLE bed, Jacuzzi tub, and stand up shower with awesome water pressure. Now on to breakfast. AMAZING! The first day we had pumpkin pancakes with a side of meat and an apple dish to go along with it. Day two we were served eggs with a squash hash, meat, and a roasted pear. There is not a shortage of coffee in the Vandenburg home! Claire did retry her experiment in the kitchen later that day and made a delicious apple syrup which we had with our breakfast. It was SO good on the fresh sausage that they had got from their Son. Claire tries to by her produce locally when possible which is awesome. There were always cookies in the cookie jar which we enjoyed on our way in or out. Looking back at everything; the room was great, the breakfast amazing, but what I enjoyed the most was spending time getting to know Claire and Jerome! Two people who love people! Our conversations were full of stories of the past and lots of laughter. (And a good amount of BS) Jerome and Claire make At Willow Pond more than a bed and breakfast. For My wife and I, it felt like home. Thank you Claire and Jerome for everything!

My husband and I were looking for a place to stay near our relatives. I would never have believed that we would locate such a nice place to stay in Fenwick, Michigan. Jerome and Claire are just super nice people. The guest rooms are also super wonderful. The breakfasts are excellent. The animals are interesting. And the pond is just such a super addition to the atmosphere of At Willow Pond.

My husband and I had a wonderful time at this peaceful getaway. The hosts are very gracious, the room was beautiful, and the food delicious. It was only an hour away from home, yet it felt like we were a million miles away. We highly recommend At Willow Pond!

We have stayed with Claire and Jerome several times now. Without question it's the best choice you could make. There great and take care for anything you need. Being Military we don't get to travel very often, when we are there it feels like were still home, but without all the hassle. My children love spending time helping out Claire and goofing around with Jerome. I couldn't imagine staying anywhere else.

We spent three nights in June and loved the tranquil location, various animals, and delicious gourmet breakfasts. Claire and Jerome are the perfect innkeepers. Their recommendations for dining in the area were spot on.

Claire and Jerome are wonderful hosts. We had a great time visiting with them at breakfast. Our room was nice and cozy. Their home is in a nice rural location and within reasonable driving distance from Greenville and Ionia for those looking to site see. This was a nice two day get away for us to relax and recharge. We highly recommend this B&B to anyone looking for time away to get some rest and relaxation.

Ratings for Dr. Alan J Fisher
Dr Fisher is personable & friendly even if he is busy. I go to him because of his expertise working with the voice, and my hearing too. He is a classically trained musician himself so it is easier for me to explain my particular problems and he really listens and understands. I always advise my friends and fellow singers to go to Dr Fisher when they need someone who appreciates what singers deal with. Plus, he accepts most health insurance plans. I feel safe going to Dr Fisher. The office staff is very helpful in making and changing appointments and explaining my insurance and any billing questions I have as well.
I've been a patient of Dr Fisher for over 20 years. His office staff is stable, so it's slways good to see a friendly face there, willing, wanting and able to help. I am a professional vocalist and Dr Fisher is a musician by avocation, and he really does take a keen interest in any vocal or other ENT related complaints that I have. Even when he is obviously busy he takes the time to listen without making me feel rushed. I have referred many musicians to him (mostly singers) and they all have reported to me that they too were pleased with their treatment, and the services offered in the office. PS: GOOD selection of up-to-date magazines too!

Crunchy Squishy Homebacks
Gary, more affectionately known as Stephane, hated stepping on snails. But that's not important. In fact, Gary, and his curious nickname, have absolutely no importance in this story from this paragraph on, whatsoever. What's important is that snails don't like Gary, or Stephane, or anyone else, for that matter, stepping on them.
For as long as the oldest living snail could remember, the snails had been stepped on by humans. "As long as the oldest living snail could remember" wasn't actually all that long, but they knew that this had been going on since before the oldest snail came around, too, so they pretty much guessed that it had been going on for a good amount of time.
Temporal issues and speech-impossibilites aside, the snails had been talking about doing something about it for almost an equal amount of time. The thing was, the more radical thinkers, who just wanted to get out there and do something about it, were generally the ones that got stepped on in the first place. They quickly learned that the humans had no qualms with squishing snail protestors. It was a heinous crime, and one that could not go unpunished.
Sometime after this initial decision, it was discovered that snail weaponry had no effect on humans. Or anyone, for that matter; not even snails. This led to an internal investigation in the weapons industry, and eventually to an official name change; calling it weaponry was deemed misleading, so they named them 'funsticks' instead and now frequently use them in children's games.
Anyway, after the usual methods of conflict resolution, i.e. peace and violence, were proven to be extremely useless, they began to devise different methods of exacting their revenge. When exactly it became a quest for revenge and not simply safety is unclear, but some think it came along when a snail was stepped on. The others maintain that these 'some' are pretty dense and give snails in general a bad name.
The snail government (which was never the same for long due to countless assassinations by humans whilst travelling) met one fateful day to decide once and for all what they would do to resolve this issue. Many ideas were thrown around, but eventually they narrowed it down to three.

Looks like they were caught with their pants on the ground with the "breaking the huddle with 12 men" penalty which led to Favre's ill advised throw across his body interception when he could have run to get back into resonable FG range or thrown a 10 pass to Berriman on sideline. Same ol Favre. I love it!!!

Problem solving
Grayson loves to climb on me. He has Mom confused with a piece of playground equipment. It drives me nuts! This morning he was trying to climb on my legs while I drank my first cup of coffee. Physical contact with me prior to sufficient caffeine input is dangerous and may result in bodily injury.
I put my coffee on the coffee table next to my feet (Mom, calm down, it's my furniture I will put my feet on the coffee table if I want to!) lifted him off my legs and put him on the floor. Then I looked him in the eyes and told him, "Stop climbing on Mommy you will spill my coffee."
Grayson stopped and looked at my coffee. I thought "Oh My Gosh he is going to follow directions!" Ha! He carefully and very slowly moved my coffee to the center of the table with out spilling a drop. Then he climbed back up on my outstretched legs. "Coffee Safe" he announced bouncing up and down on my knees. Ouch!
I don't know if I should be proud of his problem solving skills or just irritated he is still touching me. Is it wrong for the mommy to whine to the daddy "He's touching me!!" Yeah, I thought so!

Strange Tropical Fruit #3-Jambu Kluthuk
It has been a while since I posted about the cool fruit here. When I did the first post on rambutan I envisioned a series of posts about all the produce available here. There are so many fruits I have never seen before. Many of them I have not had the chance to taste and since we will be moving soon I guess I never will. I will try to do a few more posts, I have promised myself that I will not leave Jakarta with out tasting the dreaded durian! That should be a fun post! Oh well, onto the jambu kluthuk or as we call it in the west, guava!
I had heard of guava before moving here, and have even had it in fruit drink blends back in the states. While I like the juice fine (in a blend) I find the fruit itself to be a bit overpowering, or rather I find the smell of the fruit to be a bit overpowering. The smell permeates the kitchen when there is one of these in the fruit bowl. For me it is not a pleasant smell, it always reminds me to put on deodorant (yeah, that's my way of saying it smells like stinky pits!).
The flesh is a bit gritty sort of like a pear, actually like pears it doesn't have a very strong flavor, slightly sweet but not very strong. I think it tastes like....hmmm....well... it tastes like GUAVA! My tropical fruit book describes it as "crisp but not very sweet" I often see guava slices sold with a dipping sauce. I guess the sauce adds some flavor. I have had it with a sweet, hot (very hot) sambal over it and it was yummy, I liked it much better that way. Sort of disguised the smell for me, I was too worried about my taste buds going up in flames to care about the smell.
My boys like the fruit fresh from the tree. I think this is mostly because we have a guava tree right outside our living room window and sometimes I will hear a noise, glance out the window and see legs hanging out of the tree. The guards, pembantus, and gardeners have all climbed that tree at times to grab a quick snack. This is usually a signal for my kids to run outside and beg for a guava. As I am typing this on the compound guards is outside using a long piece of bamboo to knock down a ripe guava from the tree. Grayson is standing on the piano bench yelling through the window and waving his half eaten guava. I think he is telling the guard "Me too, I like guava too!"
Last Saturday I was sitting inside alone, enjoying a moment of calm, when I heard a loud thump from the roof. This usually means that someone has climbed onto the roof from the tree and is picking fruit. I glanced out the window and what do I see? Colin in the tree yelling up at someone on the roof. Now Colin was either harassing a gardener in hopes of fruit, in which case I should probably intervene, or my husband was up on the roof. I grabbed the camera and ran outside. This is what I found:
Yep it was my husband on the roof trying to spot the ripe guavas. Usually who ever climbs the tree looking for fruit ends up on the roof because the tree is crawling with ants. Stepping to the roof gives you a moment to spot the fruit before climbing onward. Sitting in the tree while trying to spot the fruit gives the ants a chance to crawl all over you. ICK!
Once Dave spotted the fruit he wanted to pick he climbed back into the tree and climbed even further up. Between this picture and the last Colin jumped out of the tree and did the I-have-ants-in-my-pants boogie. You can see what a great example we set for safe play!
Alonzo is holding a half eaten (dirty) guava. Fruit bats ate this one last night. The bats like the guava too. The fruit bats will grab a fruit and eat a bit then when they are tired they will drop it, it will land on my roof with a thump, and slide to the ground. I love to watch the bats but I can understand why fruit farmers hate them. They never finish the fruit and every morning we find bits of half eaten fruit in the compound.

Teach the Children
This week I had a chance to sit in on the weekly assembly at the elementary school. WOW! They were celebrating Earth Day. I thought Earth Day had already come and gone but I think it must have occurred when the kids had a day off so they celebrated it this week. In any case, I was truly moved by the school's dedication to saving the Earth. One of the school's stated goals is to foster responsible world citizens. They are involved in several yayasans (charities) that help out those in need. They also teach the kids to take responsibility for their personal impact on Earth. The assembly had the kind of energy I remember from high school football pep rallies. (Hey I'm from Texas we take our football seriously!) Lots of energy at the assembly.
The youngest members of the school Prep-Receptions and Prep-Juniors (3-4 year olds) performed the "Recycle Hokey Pokey" You have never seen anything as cute as a 3 year old singing "Put your plastic in and recycle all about..." and acting it out with recycle bins on stage. It was darling.
The second graders sang "The Year of the Reef" song they learned while studying the coral reef. They also reported that they had raised enough money with the bake sale to print and distribute 250 eco-coloring books and crayon packs. These books teach sustainable fishing practices that are reef friendly. These were given to children in fishing communities in Bali, Tanjung Lesung, and Surabaya.
We heard an update from the yayasan that works with the school recycling project. The school collects recyclables and sends them onward to a charity that works with street children. The recycling helps to fund the formal education of the street children, they in turn learn to recycle garbage, from papers and plastics to composting organics. The students at Pattimura are aware that the trash they bring in to recycle not only helps the Earth but also helps other children as well. We learned that we had finally received our color coded recycling bins. This will help to separate recyclables before they are sent to the yayasan.
Finally we heard from the student leaders (pretty much like student council) on ideas to help further the recycling efforts at the school. Several classrooms have purchased reusable plates and cups for use in class room parties to eliminate the need for paper and styrofoam plates. They performed skits encouraging the other students to choose reusable materials rather than disposable when possible, for example using a tupperware container instead of plastic sandwich bags
In addition to the assembly I have seen the school make other efforts to back up the claim that they are educating "responsible world citizens." The elementary school has garden plots that the kids use to learn about growing plants. Currently they are planted with rice, a major crop here in Asia. (Check back in a few weeks for the details of a Balinese rice harvest ceremony) The high school performing arts had a concert, instead if paper programs, the program was projected on screens to either side of the stage. Only the seniors for whom this was the final concert received a hard copy as a souvenir.
What is my point with this long rambling post? Is it that expensive private schools overseas that are largely left out of the testing craze have more freedom than public schools in the states? Sure partially but my main point is the children are the future and if we don't teach them then the future is lost. Is all this fuss at school effective? Oh Yeah! I made the mistake of putting the boys popcorn for snack in a plastic sandwich bag instead of a reusable tupperware and boy did I hear about it! Oh My! I won't e doing that again soon. Make sure as you go about your life doing your part to protect beauty in nature, also take the time to tell your kids what you are doing and why! The children are the future!

Science Rules!
Alonzo and Colin participated in their very first science fair tonight. Science Rules! They decided to do their project together. (Or rather Mom decided that one project was enough work for her so if they wanted to do this, they better do it together!!) After I ruled out any ideas related to blowing up anything or creating really bad smells, they settled their favorite messy goop, Oobleck.
Much to the boys irritation I made them go through all the motions of getting ready for the science fair. They had to read about how to make it, why it works, and actually make some observations of solids, liquids and oobleck. Mostly they just wanted to get to the part where they could play with the icky goo. Colin learned that oobleck is a liquid that sometimes acts like a solid. Alonzo learned this kind of liquid is called a non-Newtonian fluid. LOL! Yeah Right! What Colin really learned is you can roll it into a ball, but as soon as you stop rolling it will "melt" and drip through your fingers. Alonzo learned that even though it is a liquid it will not splash when you hit it. Seriously, no splashing!
tarps to protect the floor. Even with that precaution in place, the janitorial staff quietly circulated cleaning up the inevitable messes almost before they even happened. The one thing resistant to cleaning? Oobleck! If you wait until it is dry, it will sweep right up. If you try to sweep or mop it while it is still wet it doesn't spread out like you would expect a liquid to do, it just sits there in a blob. In fact the more pressure you apply trying to sweep or mop it, the harder it becomes to move. At one point we had four guys all trying their hardest to clean up the mess. It just wasn't working for them. I don't have enough Indonesian to explain that wiping softly instead of scrubbing would be much more effective. I had to walk away before they realized I was laughing at them. Eventually all of them left except for this guy in the picture he stood by all evening trying to keep the mess under control. I hope they got paid overtime for tonight because the sure deserved it!

Bubble Drink
I found these weird drinks at the grocery store the other day. Even though the only thing I want floating in my drinks is ice I bought them for the kids. Hey they were cheap and cool looking! When they came home I gave them these drinks along with string cheese for a snack.
Alonzo (usually my picky eater) "Mom buy this again! I like it."
Colin (usually will eat anything) "Yuck! Can I put it in the fridge for Daddy?"
Grayson (the baby) drank half, poured the rest out to get to the bubbles inside, then cried because he didn't have anything left to drink.
Here is what I found out:
1. The drinks aren't carbonated, don't know why I thought they were.
2. The "bubbles" are firm and solid, not liquid filled.
3. They are really hard to sweep up. They stick to the floor, the broom, and your feet.
4. If you step on one it feels gross!
5. There is no way Daddy is going to taste Colin's drink, it's still sitting in the fridge.

Piano Recital
Alonzo and Colin have been taking piano lessons once a week since mid January. They have only had 4 months of piano instruction. Sunday they had their first piano recital. I think they did well. Colin was the very first student to perform. He panicked a bit and played both pieces without stopping in between, but otherwise did fine.

Ken Pattern
There is an artist here in Jakarta who is a transplant from Canada, his name Ken Pattern. His medium is mainly stone lithographs, but he also does oils, acrylics, etchings and ink drawings. We have seen a lot of his works in various places like businesses and friends houses. We went to our first showing in early 2007 at the Gran Melia Jakarta. We were not in a position to buy any of his art work but we were able to get some calendars for our friends back home. Each summer Ken returns to his shop in Canada to produce new pieces and each fall upon his return he has an exhibition. When he returned last year it was at the Hadiprana Gallery. At this exhibit we purchased our first two litho's. We got "Cow" for Shannon's mom and we bought "Family Outing" for ourselves. We saw some great oils and acrylics, but the prices were way out of our range.
Last week we went to the grand opening of his current exhibition at the Gran Melia and as fate would have it we found a picture that said "buy me". Talk about a statement… this picture really does speak a thousand words. It transcends all cultural barriers and really hit me close to home. As most of our dearest friends know, Shannon and I are some what of naturalists. When I lived in Washington State, I use to go hiking and mountain biking off the fire roads in the mountains. It was so picturesque driving to the parking area, all the tall green trees; they seemed to go on forever…until I got on the fire roads. It's not until you get onto the fire road and away from the main road that you see the true forest, the partially burnt stumps and rotting remains of what once use to be a forest. This is happening to forests all across this great world of ours. The painting that we bought shows a kind of surreal image of what I might see if I were to drive down the road where the forest once stood.
I hope everyone enjoys the picture.

Mom! I have gum in my hair!
This was not the first thing I wanted to hear out of Grayson's mouth this morning. Truly I all I wanted was blessed silence while I drank my first cup of coffee. I don't foresee that happening anytime in the next decade (unless I get up at 3 am) but I can dream. Of course when I asked who had been chewing gum there was a chorus of "NOT ME!" and much finger pointing. I do not allow bubble-gum in the house. Someone broke the rule! I suspect I will never know which kid is responsible. Maybe they had a bubble gum party and only the baby was dumb enough to get the evidence stuck in his hair.
David immediately said, "I guess you will have to take him to get his hair cut."
Across the room Alonzo suddenly sat up straight and asked, "You have to get your hair cut when you get gum stuck in it?" I could see the wheels turning in his head. You see David likes long hair on little boys but at least one of the boys would prefer to have his head completely shaved. David keeps telling Alonzo no. The last time the boys got their hair cut was when David was out of town for a couple of weeks, I took them in to the barber shop, then broke the news by posting it on the blog. The next time they get their hair cut will probably be when Aunt Teri gets a good look at their long hair and whisks them off to the barber shop. She doesn't much care what her baby brother thinks about long hair, she cuts the boys long hair every time she gets near them! Yay Teri!
With visions of giants sticky gobs of gum all over Alonzo's head I was quick to announce, "No we don't have to cut his hair!"
I have gotten bubble gum stuck in my long hair a few times and have never had to cut my hair. The secret? PEANUT BUTTER! The oils in peanut butter break down the sticky in bubble gum and then you can comb it out. Thanks Heloise! You can also use mayonnaise or olive oil, they work just fine. I plopped Grayson down in a chair smeared some peanut butter all over the gianourmous clump of gum in his hair and tried to let it sit for a bit. If you can leave it alone for 20 minutes that works best. 20 minutes is apparently just too much to ask of a 3 year old. I ended up having to comb it out before it had time to work completely. There was enough screaming that I think we are safe from any gum-in-the-hair hair cut schemes for a while. Grayson is now bubble gum free and a bit oily and peanut scented. Now maybe I can have some coffee.

- Fixed: %H does not match all chd-only ones
- Added: setinfo lists referenced device roms in set file list
- Added: settings->compressor->chdman option setting to hide console window during verify process
- Added: batcher scanner option to include/exclude chd decompress in deep modes

I've been killing it in the new year, new me department. Said me never. What was supposed to be a year of salads has actually been a year of tacos, chips, and cheese. All of the cheese. It's not necessarily my fault though, it's Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodger's doing. They keep doing this thing called "playing football on TV" which translates to "get out the food and beer! It's time to sit on the couch and watch!" Well played TV, well played.
We are huge taco eaters in this house so when I saw the Old El Paso™ Mini soft tortilla taco boats at Walmart I was all "those are so cute! and fun! and not messy! I need them now!" so I brought them home, whipped up the easiest taco meat ever [recipe below] and busted out all of the fixings for our homegate festivities. Because every football game needs a beverage, I paid a visit to the trusted ole beer aisle and perused the giant Budweiser® selection. Michelob Ultra Cactus Lime [seriously, it's so good] for me and Rolling Rock for him and we were all set.
So you wanna make some meat do you? Awesome, lets do it.
The Easiest Slow Cooker Taco Meat
2 lbs ground beef
1 1/2 cups water
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
1 taco seasoning packet
1. Place [uncooked] ground beef, water, onion, garlic powder and salt into a slow cooker and cook on high for around 2 hours stirring occasionally.
2. Once the meat is nearly cooked through stir and break up if needed - turn the slow cooker to low for an additional 1-2 hours.
3. Stir in the taco seasoning packet and cook for 20 minutes.
4. Drain any excess water
5. Fill up your taco boats and top off with all of your favorite taco toppings!

Whether it's a party for two or twenty, the Old El Paso™ soft tortilla taco boats are sure to be a winner with everybody. Who are you watching the big games with this football season and what's on your plate?

Story Behind this Recipe
These are super sweet treats from India. They're imported in canned forms, but since it looked like I could make them on my own, I gave it a shot. You can adjust the sweetness to your liking. But if it isn't very sweet, it won't "feel" like gulab jamun. Don't forget to brush your teeth after you eat them.

Leicester City 0Reading 2 (Hunt 64, Robson-Kanu 87)Reading claimed their first victory of the season by beating big spending Leicester City on their home turf this afternoon.Brian McDermott's men deservedly took the lead thanks to a second half header from Noel Hunt, the Irishman powering home a header from Ian Harte's outswinging corner.Leicester had struck the post through David Nugent, but Kasper Schmeichel had to pull off excellent saves from Jobi McAnuff and Jimmy Kebe keep the visitors at bay.The Royals were the better side throughout an entertaining affair and the victory was complete when substitute HalRobson-Kanu smashed home a second near the end - a wonderful strike that Kasper Schmeichel had no chance of keeping out of his top right corner.Leicester City: Schmeichel; Pantsil, Konchesky, Bamba, Mills (c); Wellens, Fernandes, Abe (King HT), Danns (Gallagher 71), Schlupp (Waghorn 59); Nugent.Subs: Weale, St. Ledger.Reading: Federici; Griffin, Harte, Pearce, Khumalo; Karacan, Leigertwood, McAnuff (c), Kebe; Hunt, Manset (Robson-Kanu 69).Subs: McCarthy, Gunnarsson, Howard, Obita.Yellow: MansetRef: K StroudAttendance: 23,399Starting XI team news:Mathieu Manset started up front alongside Noel Hunt in the only change to the line-up that began the opening game of the Royals season - the departed Shane Long the obvious omission allowing last Saturday's two-goal hero Manset to claim a starting berth. Brian Howard was named on the substitute's bench, but Jay Tabb missed out as he served the second game in his two-match suspension. Matt Mills led Leicester out as captain - the Foxes making two changes to their first league line-up, John Pantsil and Jeffrey Schlupp coming into Sven's starting eleven.First halfThe Royals began very brightly in their all read away strip. Noel Hunt won an early free kick, being bundled over by Bamba, and a quickly taken set piece was fizzed across the face of goal with Manset lurking.Then with almost a quarter of an hour gone, Mikele Leigertwood saw a left-footed strike from the edge of the area bravely charged down and a composed Reading pressed patiently for the opener. Manset came inches away from setting Hunt on a chase into space with a good ball from midfield but a last ditch Leicester leg just cut it out before the ball could squeeze through into Hunt's path.Midway through the half, the lively Manset was give the space to turn and run at the Foxes defence, and he breezed past Mills and shot early, driving a left-footed effort just wide of the bottom right corner.And moments later a quite sublime passing move in the final third saw Manset tee up McAnuff, whose low arrowed 12-yard effort was somehow kept out by Schmeichel to the disbelief of the vocal travelling away support.Reading continued to dominate. Karacan won the ball in midfield just before the half hour mark and Manset toed the ball into space for Kebe to run down the middle. But he couldn't find McAnuff and could only win a corner, from which Pearce headed just wide.The home side were struggling to trouble the Reading goalmouth but as the half drew to a close, Alex Pearce did well to block a Danns effort and then a combination of Khumalo and Leigertwood slid in to charge down a good effort from Schlupp that would have tested Federici had it got through.Yuki Abe raced onto a loose pass from the back and lashed a speculative effort well wide of Federici's left upright and then Nugent whistled a good low effort across Federici's goal and inches wide of the bottom left corner. Despite City's late pressure, the Royals had bossed the opening 45 minutes, but the teams went into the dressing rooms with the game still goalless.Second halfThe hosts began the second half well and Nugent came within inches of opening the scoring. Reading lost possession on half way and Leicester broke quickly, placing a throughball into Nugent's path down the left side of the penalty area. He touched it back onto his right boot and fizzed a low effort past Federici and against the base of the right post.Jimmy Kebe, moments later, was released by Karacan and his pace saw him get to the ball well before Kasper Schmeichel. But the Danish stopper did well to block Kebe's low shot and arguably Reading's best chance of the game went without reward.The explosive start to the second half continued - Federici tipping over a powerful effort from substitute Andy King before Danns dragged a shot wide and Nugent headed just over.And just after the hour mark, the deadlock was broken. Ian Harte's beautifully delivered corner was watched all the way by Noel Hunt, who raced untracked into the Foxes box and powered an unstoppable header past Schmeichel and through a couple of players on the line from about eight yards out. City skipper Mills complained to the referee about something, but his protests went unheard and Hunt had given McDermott's men the lead.Leicester were rattled. Kebe drove a powerful shot just wide of the bottom left corner and the impressive Manset was replaced by Hal Robson-Kanu with 20 minutes remaining to add fresh legs.As time began to run out, City pressed and pressed. Sol Bamba - thrown up front for the dying stages - headed a deep cross just wide of the top left corner as the Royals dug in to try to hold on to their lead.That lead was doubled and the win sealed moments before the end, as Kebe found Hal Robson-Kanu in the box - allowing the Academy graduate to hold off his man and unleash a stunning strike into the top corner of the net, one that no 'keeper in the world would have got a hand to. The full time whistle signalled raucous celebrations in the away end, with a number of players hurling their shirts to the delighted visiting supporters.

Why Aren't Millennials Buying Diamonds, The Economist Asks
Hey millennials: Why aren't you buying diamonds?
It's a question that The Economist had for people born between the 1980s and the early 2000s after the tennis ball-sized Lesedi La Rona diamond failed to sell at a Sotheby's auction last week.
The Lesedi La Rona diamond. (Photo: Nils Jorgensen/REX/Shutterstock via CP)
See, the diamond was discovered by the Lucara Diamond Corp., a Vancouver-based company that found the stone in Botswana.
They tried to auction it for $92 million. But the highest bid it drew was $79 million.
The Economist said the diamond industry is struggling to sell to millennials because they're wary of "the taint of conflict and exploitation." It's an understandable concern — but one that "irks Lucara and other listed diamond miners" because they claim to "play by the rules."
But the magazine was just baiting people for snark when it sold the story this way:

@TheEconomist maybe because they're burdened with crippling student loan debt and can't actually find a good paying job

Now, The Economist is an august magazine that is keenly aware of the struggles that millennials face.
But the magazine might have done better to ask its question another way.
Because, well, just look at how people responded:

THAT is why they are champions.
Ten-man City turned the clock back to the final day of last season to rescue
another dramatic injury-time win and leave Roberto Mancini speechless.
The Manchester giants did it the hard way as they proved they still have the
ability to shock and awe themselves.
James Milner was sent off for a last-man foul on Shane Long after 23 minutes
and then appeared to be on the ropes when Long fired Albion in front after
67 minutes.
Romelu Lukaku could easily have counted City out with a hat-trick of late
chances as Albion pushed for a winner.
But boss Mancini sent on Edin Dzeko for Gareth Barry with 11 minutes remaining
and the Bosnian delivered the deadly late double — including a winner two
minutes into stoppage time.
Mancini's No 2 David Platt explained his gaffer's absence from the post-match
press conference by revealing: "He's lost his voice and I've lost half of
mine as well!
"Roberto's in a bad way downstairs because of the shouting he did in the
second half.
"I'd have to see again the decision to send James Milner off.
"Live, it didn't look like a goalscoring opportunity, it looked as if our
player was getting around.
"However, we couldn't sit there for 70 minutes grumbling about a decision
against us, we had to do something about it.
"At half-time, we said we had to keep our heads and discipline, concentrate
and stay together.
"In the second half, we were terrific and controlled the game."
Baggies boss Steve Clarke must have thought his side had snatched all three
points 90 seconds into injury time when substitute Lukaku threw himself into
the air and unleashed a stunning overhead kick.
But Joe Hart brilliantly turned over his shot from eight yards out with a
breathtaking reflex save.
Most teams would have been content to count their blessings at this point —
but City went up the park and won the match.
Sergio Aguero broke clear on the right and threaded a pass through to Dzeko,
who calmly slotted the ball past Ben Foster for his second goal in 10
The celebrations were reminiscent of City's final-day title success against
QPR at the Etihad.
Platt added: "People talk about us having expensive players but there's a lot
of spirit here. You don't win titles without the kind of spirit we showed
last year and it was there again today."
City looked as if they would blow the Baggies away early on before they were
dramatically reduced to 10 men.
Vincent Kompany gave the ball away carelessly inside his own half and James
Morrison pounced to release Long.
The Albion striker outpaced Milner, who tried to recover with a desperate
sliding tackle that sent Long crashing.
Mancini raced to the touchline to argue Joleon Lescott was sprinting in to
provide cover.
But Mark Clattenburg reached for his red card and Milner headed for an early
shower. Long fired Albion ahead after stealing in on Lescott's blind side to
steer the ball past Hart.
But Mancini pushed two men up front and Dzeko's introduction proved a
The Bosnian levelled with his second touch of the match when he headed home
Carlos Tevez's free-kick with 10 minutes left.
Yet even after Dzeko's winner Lukaku had a chance to snatch a draw but his
shot was cleared off the line by Gael Clichy.
Albion boss Clarke groaned: "Would I chase a winner like that again? I'd do it
with more care and keep an extra player back! Once bitten, twice shy."

Nano-Particle Size Analysis Instrumentation in the Life Sciences Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2014 - 2020
Nano-particles are defined as small objects, having nanometer size in the range of 1-100 nano-meters. These particles can be divided into different types such as ultrafine particles, coarse particles and fine particles according to their diameters. Nano-particle based analysis instrument are commonly used to detect the diameter of the nano-particles. There are two methods commonly used for detecting or analyzing nano-particle size namely by microscopic techniques and by utilizing relation between particle behavior and its size. The particle size analysis of nano-particles can be determined using large number of commercially available instruments such as flow cytometry, microscopic techniqu... Click here for more details
