text: Hi Henrik, I can see why this would be useful (we have had similar things at Warwick). How do users know they will need an extra 5 or 10 hours? Is it because they can see some of the output (say based on iterations etc?). I think here we encouraged users to set the maximum time for their jobs (say 110 in your example) and then lower the walltime via qalter if they could see their jobs finishing a lot earlier. It means the scheduler can do a pretty good schedule for the larger jobs but then squeeze in a few (short) backfills if the simulations finish early. Just a suggestion and probably not what you want but it might help you out in the mean time?

VATICAN CITY -- Pope Benedict XVI's decision to remove an Australian bishop from office last May was aimed at preserving the unity of the church, the country's bishops said in a statement after meeting the pope and Vatican officials.
The Vatican's difficulties with Bishop William Morris of Toowoomba "concerned not only matters of church discipline but also of church doctrine definitively taught, such as on the ministerial priesthood," said the statement from the Australian Catholic Bishops' Conference.
The statement was released by the bishops in Rome Oct. 21 at the end of their "ad limina" visits to the Vatican.
In interviews with Catholic News Service and in their statement, the bishops said they had a special meeting with Cardinals Marc Ouellet, prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, and William J. Levada, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, to discuss the pope's decision to remove Bishop Morris from office in May. They also met both cardinals separately.
"Our discussions with them were substantial, serious and candid," and gave the bishops "a more adequate understanding" of steps taken by the Vatican over a decade to resolve difficulties with the Toowoomba bishop, the statement said.
Bishop Morris was asked to resign six times by three different Vatican congregations, according to news reports. But matters became even more serious in 2006 when he said in a pastoral letter that he would be open to ordaining women and married men if church rules changed to allow such a possibility.
In 2007, the Vatican asked Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, who was archbishop of Denver at the time, to conduct an apostolic visitation of Toowoomba.
The Australian bishops' Oct. 21 statement said, "What the Holy See did was fraternal and pastoral, rather than juridical in character. Although efforts continued over many years, a critical point came when Bishop Morris failed to clarify his position to the satisfaction of the Holy See" and declined to resign when the pope asked him to do so.
The pope removed Bishop Morris as head of the Diocese of Toowoomba but imposed no other sanctions.
"What was at stake was the church's unity in faith and the ecclesial communion between the pope and the other bishops in the College of Bishops," the statement said. "Eventually Bishop Morris was unable to agree to what this communion requires and at that point the pope acted as the successor of Peter, who has the task of deciding what constitutes unity and communion in the church."
The Australian bishops said they accept the pope's exercise of his ministry and they reaffirm their communion with him.
"We return to Australia determined to do whatever we can to heal any wounds of division, to extend our fraternal care to Bishop Morris and to strengthen the bonds of charity in the church in Australia," it said.

There will never be another Michael Jordan, but the closest facsimile to His Airness in Minnesota prep hoops is definitely Anders Broman. The legendary Duluth (Minn.) Lakeview Christian Academy senior further cemented his status as the greatest pure scorer in state history with yet another astounding single-game performance, pumping in 70 points in another victory.
As reported by the Duluth News Tribune, Broman -- the state's all-time leading scorer -- notched 70 of Lakeview Christian's 117 total points in a 117-99 victory against Cass Lake-Bena (Minn.) High.
Broman's scoring display was just as accurate as one would imagine it would have to be to reach 70 points in a prep basketball game. He hit 10 of 15 3-point attempts, hit 13-of-17 from inside the 3-point arc and hit all 14 of his free throws. Astoundingly, Broman had already hit the 70 point mark with six minutes remaining in the game (that's nearly the entire fourth quarter), at which point he and the Lakeview Christian starters were sent to the bench with the game in hand.
"It was just one of those nights where everything was going in and my teammates kept finding me," Broman told the News Tribune. "It was a fun night."
It was a fun night, but not a personal best for Broman. The Lakeview superstar actually scored 71 points during a loss when he was a junior. You can see video highlights of that remarkable 71-point performance below (no video from his 70-point endeavor has yet surfaced). Then and now he continues to receive significant support from his brother, Bjorn Broman, who leads Lakeview Christian in assists.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to determine that more of those assists have gone to Anders Broman than anyone else.
"He hit his first five shots, so you have to keep giving it to him when he's hot," Bjorn said.
That's an understatement from the younger Broman. For now, he can keep dishing the ball to his big brother and watch the points – and wins – pile up.

overviewWater Hyacinth bears leathery foliage that creeps across the surface of the pond. The foliage helps to provide shade and the roots provide filtration, a spawning area for the pond fish, and absorb excess nutrients from the water, helping to reduce algae. It also is an excellent water clarifier. The delicate, purple flowers have a yellow "eye" on one petal, last approximately one day, but bloom throughout the season, and add a pleasing splash of color to the pond. The flowers grow on 6-inch stems at the center of a rosette of glossy bulb-like leaves. These leaves will gather air in pockets and keep the plant afloat. Reaches height of 6-12".
Because the Water Hyacinth has a tropical nature, it will require heat and full sun to thrive and flower. Yellowish leaves are a sign of insufficient nutrients in the water; move plants with yellowing leaving to an alternate area and add plant food to their water, rotating with plants left in the pond. A vigorous reproducer, it can quickly take over the water garden. Remove excess plants to help prevent this from happening. Zones 9-11.

Delhaize Group Upgrades Global Financial Planning Technology
BRUSSELS, Belgium -- Global food retailer Delhaize Group has signed on with Norwalk, Conn.-based Cartesis to implement Cartesis 10, an integrated platform for financial planning, consolidation, and analytics.
BRUSSELS, Belgium -- Global food retailer Delhaize Group has signed on with Norwalk, Conn.-based Cartesis to implement Cartesis 10, an integrated platform for financial planning, consolidation, and analytics.
The agreement, announced yesterday, covers the worldwide implementation of a business performance management (BPM) system designed to meet the strict requirements of Delhaize Group's long-term BPM vision.
Delhaize's corporate finance department, which is mainly based in Brussels, supports its worldwide retail network with a reporting structure designed to provide insight into financial and operational performance at all levels. Individual operating companies are responsible for their own planning and budgeting processes and also need access to real-time comprehensive performance related information.
"The Cartesis solution will help us reinforce our performance analysis and budgeting processes, both at corporate and operating company level," explained Jean-Luc Vandebroek, corporate director of financial systems at Delhaize Group, in a statement. "The availability of high-quality and reliable data will provide us with the insight to facilitate and enhance our strategic business planning process."
Delhaize Group was looking for a future-proof BPM system that incorporated reporting and consolidation, as well as planning, according to Cartesis. The solution had to centrally integrate data from local general ledgers and enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems in order to allow local companies to run their planning and budgeting process in line with the Group. In addition, the group finance department needed more detailed insight into performance of all entities to help focus on shortening reporting cycles and increasing return on investment.
Cartesis is able to leverage Microsoft technology, the standard within the Delhaize Group.
Delhaize Group is present in eight countries on three continents. At the end of March 2006, Delhaize Group's sales network consisted of 2,644 stores.

Air New Zealand has launched its new no-frills Tasman Express service and says the discount fares will stay in place, prompting talk the airline is preparing to endure increased competition across the Tasman indefinitely, whether or not it secures its alliance with Qantas.
With Tasman Express tickets going on sale yesterday morning, Air NZ said the service would cut its fares to and from Australia on average by 26 per cent, and up to 36 per cent for some economy tickets.
Air NZ said it had already tripled the daily average online bookings for trans-Tasman services by midday yesterday - adding fuel to suggestions a fare cut will prompt a rapid increase in passenger numbers.
With flights commencing on October 29, Tasman Express fares out of Sydney to Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington will range from $243 one-way.
The main catch is a $20 fee for each one-way trip if the booking is not made over the internet.
With Virgin Blue threatening to cut fares on the route by up to 40 per cent, Air NZ's head of sales and distribution, Norm Thompson, said: "As far as Air NZ is concerned, we've got an extensive schedule.
"We are continuing to offer a full in-flight service - meals, alcohol, inflight entertainment - we are continuing to offer a frequent scheme for semi-flexi and fully-flexi fares."
He added that Air NZ's seat pitch was 32 inches, compared with around 29 for rivals.
Air NZ said it expected its yet-to-be-delivered fleet of Airbus 320s would cut operational costs by 15 per cent, compared to the Boeing 737 and 767s it flies into Australia.
It is expected to have seven A320s operating on the route by next September.
Qantas is expected to commence trans-Tasman flights by its New Zealand subsidiary, Jet Connect, next month.
With two additional B737s being flown over to New Zealand this month to lift Jet Connect's fleet to seven, Qantas said around 25 per cent of its trans-Tasman capacity would be handed over to Jet Connect.
Jet Connect will operate between Wellington, Christchurch, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

When he walks, he puts the thumb of each hand into the armhole of his waistcoat, and moves along stiffly, with a knock-kneed gait.
Still silently, I pulled out with my thumb through the armhole of my vest the police badge pinned to the suspender.
A pretty little crochet edge around the neck and armhole will complete this comfortable little vest.
They were made without sleeves, like a waistcoat, and an epaulette overhung the armhole.
The back and front are edged with two volants; and a third, passing over the armhole, forms a sort of sleeve.
Crevel's thumb moved from his armhole, he placed his hand on the work-table, he abandoned his attitude, he smiled!
Then pin the sleeve caps, cut according to Fig. 222, around the outer edge of the armhole.
His left thumb was stuck in the armhole of his flowered satin waistcoat, black and shiny.

Heartbreak as Bob pips Elvis
Page Tools
Tops the poll ... Bob Dylan.
Bob Dylan's Like a Rolling Stone, the song that Bruce Springsteen said "sounded like somebody'd kicked open the door to your mind", has been judged the most important of 100 music, film and television moments that changed the world.
Musicians, actors and industry experts surveyed for their seminal experiences in the past 50 years included rockers Sir Paul McCartney, Noel Gallagher, Keith Richards, Lou Reed, Patti Smith and Beach Boy Brian Wilson, and Hollywood's Juliette Lewis, Edward Norton and Robert Downey Jr.
Dylan just edged out the day rock'n'roll finally took off across the world - the first radio broadcast of Elvis Presley's Heartbreak Hotel in 1956 - in the poll by Britain's Uncut magazine.
Dylan's single, recorded in 1965 for his influential album Highway 61 Revisited, was remarkable for its lyrics.
Heralded as the first six-minute single, it was originally issued on a double-sided 45 to allow radio stations to keep to their three-minute rule. However, DJs soon came under fire from fans for cutting it and started taping both sides to broadcast the song in full.
But McCartney named the Presley track as his first choice. "It's the way he sings it as if he is singing from the depths of hell. His phrasing, use of echo, it's all so beautiful. Musically it's perfect." Recorded at RCA studios in Nashville in 1956, Heartbreak Hotel was just two minutes 11 seconds long.
Third was the Beatles' She Loves You, written by McCartney and John Lennon after a concert at the Majestic ballroom in Newcastle while touring with Roy Orbison in 1963.
At No. 4 is (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction by the Rolling Stones. The lyrics and distinctive guitar riff were thought up by Keith Richards in a hotel in Clearlake, Florida, during the Stones' third US tour in 1965.
A Clockwork Orange by Stanley Kubrick emerged as the most influential film, with The Godfather and The Godfather II in sixth place. David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust came seventh. The cartoon characters Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie were also placed, with The Simpsons appearing at No. 14.

Tomorrow night in Germany, Arthur Abrham continues his comeback efforts against Piotr Wilczewski. The weigh-in for the fight and the entire card was held this afternoon, and right here you can find complete weigh-in results, and a sampling of pictures from the event as well. Check it out. Here are the weights from Kiel, Germany: WBO Europe Super-Middleweight Title: Arthur Abraham: 168 lbs Piotr Wilczewski: 167.75 lbs European Light Heavyweight Title: Eduard Gutknecht: 173.75 lbs Tony Averlant: 174.25 lbs Mateusz Masternak: 198.5 lbs Felipe Romero: 199 lbs If Abraham is able to beat Wilczewski, he will have likely maneuvered himself into position to be the WBO's mandatory. The main WBO title is currently held by Robert Stieglitz, and he's probably going to be facing George Groves next. So Abraham could be looking at a title shot against the winner of that fight by this fall, perhaps. On the undercard, Eduard Gutknecht and Mateusz Masternak are both looking to continue making a na...

Theodor August Konrad Loos (18 May 1883 in Zwingenberg 27 June 1954 in Stuttgart) was a German actor. The son of a watchmaker and instruments manufacturer, he left secondary school prematurely and worked for three years at an export firm for music instruments in Leipzig, and after that for his uncle, an art dealer in Berlin. He decided though to become an actor. His theater engagements led him to Leipzig, Danzig and Frankfurt am Main, then to Berlin where he acted from 1912 to 1945 at different theaters. From 1913 he performed in more than 170 feature films, initially silent films. In the 1930s he could be seen performing in classic theater, on over 400 occasions in Peer Gynt alone.

Happy Valentine's Day! I'm sure most of you have figured out your Valentine's dessert plans, but I wanted to share this last-minute idea for those that haven't. Dessert on Valentine's doesn't have to be complicated or time consuming. This dessert, which I purposefully saved for today, has only four ingredients and can be made in just a few minutes. This recipe is so simple that anyone (seriously, anyone) can throw it together. If it's so easy and has so few ingredients, you must be questioning how it tastes. The answer? It's awesome! You don't need many ingredients when the ingredients are cream, Nutella, espresso and hazelnuts.
This recipe is what I like to refer to as cheater's mousse. I've made cooked chocolate mousse before. In fact, it was my very first post way back in August 2008. At the time, this cheater's mousse would've been a more appropriate dessert, skill-wise, for me to tackle. There's obviously some irony that I'm posting this easy version now, when my skill level is so much higher. The reason I wanted to share it is because it tastes so darn good. It's light and airy just like its more involved counterpart. The flavor is rich and chocolaty without being heavy, and the espresso adds just the right amount of coffee flavor. This is a dessert that won't leave you feeling like you had too much to eat, which makes it perfect for ending a heavier dinner. Even if you don't make this tonight, it's a great recipe to have on hand when a chocolate craving strikes.

Assassin's Creed
Review by isaac180296
"A game with great potential, but with big flaws."
Welcome to my review of Assassin's Creed for the PS3. This game could have been great, and is, indeed, very enjoyable. However, a few flaws pull down its score.
In this game you can essentially just run wild. You have a choice of four weapons at your disposal. These are accessed by the directional pad, making them easy to select. The Up button selects a short hidden dagger, which can be used to assassinate anyone quickly and quietly. Down selects your fists, which are only really used at the beginning of the game, when you have no weapons, or when you're interrogating someone. The Right Button selects a sword, useful when you are surrounded by foes. And finally, the Left Button: This selects some throwing knives, which you can get by pick pocketing thugs. When you are out of knives, you pull out a short knife, which looks very cool.
So, with all these cool weapons, you'd think the fighting would be great. And you'd be right. Fighting enemies is very fun, and easy to control. You lock onto targets using L1, and can simply slash away at them, or, you can wait for the enemy to attack, and then strike. Using R1 and Square at this point will do a counter attack, which either instantly kills them, or knocks them to the ground. There are many of these, both for knife and sword, and are very fun to do.
However, the missions you have to do are incredibly repetitive. In order to assassinate one of your targets, you must first collect information about them. To do this you must complete three tasks, which can be eavesdropping, interrogating someone; pick pocketing someone, or an informer (somebody asks you to kill someone, in exchange for information). These tasks are very easy to do, and get very repetitive. Then comes the kill. You can either go for the stealth approach, by creeping up to your target and shoving a concealed dagger in his throat, or you can run in with your sword drawn and start killing the dozens of guards that come at you. This is not so much of a challenge, as fighting is pretty easy.
This brings me to running away. Should you need to run away from guards or the crazy men in the street that push you or the beggars that constantly harass you it's quite easy to do so. You can try the run like hell' approach, where you basically sprint and try to dodge any civilians you can (hitting them will trip you up), until you come to some straw or something which you can hide in, until the incompetent guards stop right in front of it and say It's no good, we lost him.'. Or, you can climb up a building (you can climb up most), and jump from rooftop to rooftop. This approach is both faster, and more fun. Unfortunately, there are sometimes archers, and the guards are surprisingly good at climbing. Also, when you're climbing up, those mean guards throw stones at you, making you fall if you're hit. Anyway, once you get out of sight on the rooftops, you can hide in a convenient rooftop box.
Both hiding in straw and in a rooftop box make sense. What does not, however, is sitting on a bench. When you're out of sight, just sit on a bench, and you become invisible. Try it next time you're in a high speed chase with the police.
There is also another story in this game, but I wouldn't want to ruin it for you.
Graphics and Sound
The graphics are amazing. There are lots of big cities, and each is detailed and looks beautiful. When surveying the city from a high building, it looks amazing. Considering so many people are always on-screen, I think they did a really good job of it.
Unfortunately, this game has a lot of little glitches. When there's an out-of-place scholar standing on the bench in an Assassin's Bureau, or some guy's head literally sticking out of some stairs, it's quite funny and harmless. What is not funny, however, is when you've just completed an assassination, and the game decides it's time to freeze. It does this a lot, and it can be very frustrating.
The music is ok, and the voice acting is very good. A lot of people complain about Altair's voice actor, but I think it's fine.
This game is very repetitive to start with, and when you finish, there are a few tasks you can do, none of which are very fun. Basically just collecting flags and killing templars. I sold this game when I completed it. Not too good, I'm afraid.
Essentially, different buttons control different parts of Altair's body. I like this, and it's easy to control.
A fairly decent game, but it could have been so much more. They're currently working on a patch for the freezing, I think, so maybe wait for that. The sheer repetition can be very annoying, but overall it's fun. Perhaps they should have spent more time on this game.
Buy or Rent: It's 15 or so hours of Gameplay, so you could probably complete it with a rent, and it won't be so much fun after you've completed the story mode. Plus it costs a lot, so I suggest a rent.
Reviewer's Rating: 3.5 - Good

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Outpost' started by Hsi_Kang, Jan 20, 2013.
What's wrong with that?
Are you racist or something Bonk?
Its easy for people to find brides in other countries because of the allure and mystery of an foreigner
I suppose you'd know all about that with the extensive traveling you've done.
having a significant other beats not having one at all.
I do know this. Its a fact.
Why not get one then?
Doesnt have to Asian, could be hot sultry panamanian chica.
I knew a guy who was in the Air Force that met a girl and got married while stationed in Korea.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
It is to you Bonk because you are jealous of anyone that has a stable relationship. Stop lashing out and go see a therapist.
Tell me some more facts from Bonkland.
What color is the sky there?
No it's not, you moron.
You guys are morons. So easy to get married to a foreign chick. The mystery of you being a forienger combined with them not being as able to understand your verbal gaffs and miscues that would sink you with chicks in your homeland make it easy.
Let him lash. I'm used to dealing with a child.
He just needs to have his little /meltdown. He'll be back to posting about his cat and one-line no-link news posts in no time!
Men marry women they meet in other countries many times because they lack the social skills to land one in their homelands. They are socially retarted worse than I ever was
Right because woman in other countries just love men who can't speak their language or don't understand their culture!
You're criticizing someone who is several steps ahead of yourself, bonk...
There are huge cultural differences that cause the woman to not see the verbal gaffs and other things. This is great for a man with bad social skills in getting a woman in his own country. This is Bubble.
Sure thing, Studmuffin.
And you're just a killer with the ladies Bonk?
Ive been here long enough and I know enough about Bubble to say that I'm certain that my theory about him is correct.
I've been here long enough to know that you are a serial killer and I am pretty certain that your recent ex has become a lamp.
I LOL'ed.
Demon is a noob
I'm glad Bubble didn't use his Canadian mystique to woo a does eyed American girl who isn't prepared for the Canadian machismo.
he couldnt woo any woman of his own nationality. He is way too dorky for that
But I am married to an American and never been divorced. So in your eyes I should be a king.
Kneel before your ruler!
You are a stupid noob. Your opinion on anything doesnt matter
Don't worry peon, your king will care for you!
I agree he should have found fellow Canadians in Korea. We can't have people falling in love across borders, it ain't natural.
Selfishness and lack of impulse control.
Its because the Outpost is full of not nice people, not nice at all
holy crap that was funny.
Selfishness sure, but 6 months is too long to write off cheating as an impulse. It's deeper than that.
It's pretty easy to get sucked into something like that if you allow it to start. A lot of people actually form an addiction around it. They keep returning to the dealer for the next hit.
You have to stick with it, but this thread delivers! 8/10
So far the Outpost has two convicted and jailed pedophiles
What I say is true. Not nice people
And don't forget one serial killer!
Only matter of time until Morgan Freeman knocks on your door Bonk. Better start hiding those lamps and pieces of "art"
i think bonk is off the wagon again
WAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYY off the wagon
What's in the box?!?
lol you guys are way more criminal than me with your pot smoking drug dealing ways
Who says anyone deals drugs? There are other more legal ways to make money nowadays.
Make money you can keep.
Ouch, don't get angry, Bonk. Come on, you have thicker skin than that.
Demonic pwned you, so what? Move on.
Bonk is drinking again.
post count is near cap.
we should have a reroll any day now.
theres a cap on the post count?
yeah. it's like 100k. bonk's hit it several times afaik.
BONK, tell us your cumulative post count!

Watch the Budget: Jay-Z Splurges $300K in Miami
While most folks are trying to find ways to pinch and scrape a dollar in our down economy, Jay-Z seems to have no problem spending endless amounts of money.
According to PEOPLE, the Hip-Hop Cash King was recently spotted blowing $250,000 on Armand de Brignac champagne during his 'Watch the Throne' release party at Miami's posh Fontainebleau hotel. And that's not all! The veteran rhyme-slinger also dropped $50,000 in tips at the hotel's Italian restaurant Scarpetta where he wine and dine with his entourage.
Interestingly, on Jay-Z's 'Watch the Throne' album, the rap king speaks highly of the Fontainbleau Hotel in one of his songs. On the braggadocios track 'Primetime' (with Kanye West), Hov raps: "New money, I found the fountain of youth / I'm headed to Miami to f–k up the Fontaine Bleu / A case of Ace, make it 2 / N—a we rolling, beat the deuce / The night is young, what the f–k we gonna do."
Talk about art imitating life, or is it the other way around?
But the night wasn't over for Jigga, after he stuffed his face with pasta, he moved the party to Miami Beach's LIV nightclub where he chilled until the early morning. "Jay-Z was well-behaved and laid low all night on a banquette with his entourage of boys," an insider told PEOPLE.
Recession? What recession?

Of the attendees 96% found that the session broadened their understanding of Employee Engagement and rated the event as very useful or useful.

Hi my name is Amar Patel. I am a new graduate and I recently achieved a TAP Foundation Certificate in Presentation Skills. After graduating from university I needed to be able to secure a graduate job which entailed sitting for multiple interviews.
The graduate job market has never been more competitive with companies cutting jobs and more students graduating from universities than ever. I had to make myself stand out from the rather sizeable 'pack'. I therefore felt that improving my presentation skills would give me a much better chance of attaining a job I wanted.
Many graduate interviews consist of having to create and deliver presentations on a variety of topic and tasks. In addition getting a grad job, having good presentation skills would come in very useful when in the work place as most graduate jobs entail some form of presenting your findings to colleagues and team leaders.
After deciding that improving my presentation skills would be a worthwhile investment, I enrolled in the TAP Presentation Skills course. It turned to be one of the best decisions I have ever made.
The TAP Presentation Skills course gave me a very useful methodology on how to approach any presenting task. The course was delivered by Paul Edmondson, and Paul taught me how to structure the presentation in order to maximise the knowledge transfer that has to take place. Making sure that the key messages from your presentation are absorbed and understood fully by the recipients is the single most important factor in determining the success of a presentation and I was able to dramatically improve this aspect of my presentations as a result of this course.
In addition to this, the TAP Presentation Skills Course taught me different techniques which improved the style and recipient experience of my presentations. Developing areas such as body language, use of visual aids and improving my confidence were all results of taking this course and I now feel as though I would be confident in presenting to any group of people in any situation, no matter how important or challenging it may be.
All the skills I learned on this course were tested in a recent interview for a graduate analyst role in London for a well known internet company. In this interview I was tasked with creating and delivering a 15 to 20 minute presentation to a group of senior management staff at the company. I used the techniques and skills gained from the TAP Presentation Skills course to deliver a presentation that was clear, interesting and thought provoking for the recipients. The result of which is that I beat a large number of fellow graduates to win the job and I am due to start in Autumn 2010.
Thank You Paul &

My Training Nightmare...
One Monday in January, I was privileged to deliver a course to six delegates who were either visually impaired or blind. The weekend snow had turned to sleet and the ground was wet and slippy. Three guide dogs, Charlie, Jasper and Carl, slept quietly under the desks of the training room and at lunchtime I was asked if I would give them a drink of water and take them out for a short 'comfort break'!
All three dogs were happy to be outdoors and sniffed at everything in sight and marked their territory many times. Carl seemed particularly thrilled so I decided to treat him to a longer walk. The minute we rounded the corner of the building, he looked back at me, caught my eye and made a bolt for it. I fell over. He had the strength of a hippopotamus and dragged me along the ground in the mud and sleet. I was forced to let go and he ran off.
I looked down at myself ….I had lost a shoe, my tights were hanging in shreds, both my knees were cut and bleeding, as was my nose, my suit was soaking wet and caked with mud. A colleague retrieved the dog. I retrieved my shoe. I looked a right mess. I went into the toilets, washed my face, plugged my nose with cotton wool, wiped down my suit, took off the tights so tattered and torn, washed my legs in the sink and stuck on lots of plasters.
The show must go on I thought so I limped back into the training room and began. 'Welcome back from lunch. The next session is about 'Presenting with Style'...and only I could see the irony in that opening sentence.

TAP Partner of The Month, Velocity Learning
I am Jane Bell and together with my colleague Ronny Quincey we have formed a partnership in Velocity Learning, a Silver TAP Partner.
I started my Learning career seven years ago with Barclays as a Learning Project Administrator where as a team we delivered learning solutions to the entire Barclays Group. This fired my passion for learning and wanting to design and deliver learning solutions. I studied to become an accredited associate of the CIPD; venturing in the theories of learning and the training cycle.
A few years into my career after moving upwards, through designing and delivering programmes and then starting to manage learning teams, I was fortunate enough to be part of a programme with The Training Foundation where the entire UK Learning team went through the TAP Training Delivery Skills programme. I have to say this was invaluable and still gives me structure for my delivery to this day. I remember a period of high volume recruitment in a previous role and needing to get onboard seconded training deliverers to support with induction training. Without the structure of the TAP Training Delivery Skills Programme, it would never have been possible. I could certainly recommend this course to any experienced or aspiring learning professional.
This led on to being part of the TAP Certificate in Blended Learning which enabled me to manage projects designing e-learning and blended induction programmes for Barclaycard in India- using e-learning and face to face mediums intertwined. This was a first, and a real win for Barclaycard. I believe the basic structure is still being used to this day!
My Business Partner, Ronny came from an Operational background in Learning. She delivered coaching programmes in a fast paced sales environment for the Barclays Group. With her experience and knowledge, she then came on board to join the Barclaycard Learning Team in 2006 and undertook the TAP Delivery Skills Programme shortly after this. Ronny used this as a base to design and deliver training programmes where she made a massive impact on the sales communities in the UK. A great alliance was formed between us both during our time at Barclaycard and we realised that our backgrounds, expertise and way of working complimented each other well.
In February of this year, we took our next logical step to become self-employed and co-created Velocity Learning.
Velocity Learning is based in the North of England and specialises in providing NLP learning solutions to organisations throughout the UK. Put simply, NLP is the relationship between successful patterns of behaviour and patterns of thought underlying them. This helps with self-awareness and effective communication, and to change patterns of mental and emotional behaviour. NLP can be applied to every business context: coaching, leadership, decision making, working collaboratively, selling, problem solving, team building and communication.
We deliver training in a style to suit all customers – from 'formal' sessions to more fun events. Achieving learning objectives is something that we're passionate about.
Having achieved the TAP Certification in Delivery Skills and the TAP Certification in Blended Learning has really benefited Velocity Learning. Having a structure of delivery and a blended approach to design to achieve learning objectives has become an integral part of the Velocity methodology. We are more responsive as an organization, clearer to our customers and are able to deliver value adding programmes every time.
I would love to further my studies with TAP in the long-term. I am studying for my NLP Master Practitioner this year and further from this, I could see myself studying for the TAP Diploma in Performance Management. I think this will help to merge an operational angle with a learning angle – something that every learning professional knows is a tough cookie!
Many thanks

Brain Teaser
October's Brain Teaser was suggested by Amar Patel, and is entitled:
Not so Cold Blooded Murder:
Four men entered a sauna. Because it was a steam sauna, no one could see each other. Suddenly a scream was heard and the manager came running...After the steam was switched off, they found one of the men dead after being stabbed to death. The police were called and they questioned the three suspects:
Email your suggestions, or call for the solution to me at: firstname.lastname@example.com and put Not so Cold Blooded Murder in the subject title.
The solution to September's Brain teaser, The doctor, is that the Doctor was the boy's mother. Those who correctly solved the riddle are listed below:
Jane Wawszczak, Djanogly City Academy Nottingham
Many Thanks - The Training Foundation

2 More Stores Opening at 8pm on Thanksgiving.
This makes me mad, because it's my favorite store. Target (and Kohls) have been added to the list of retailers who are ignoring Thanksgiving. The only way this is going to stop and things return to an early morning Black Friday opening is if enough shoppers don't 'buy in' to the hype and spend the day at home with their family and friends. What the Holidays really are about. that's my rant for the day

Three men, including a former county commission chairman and a former county commissioner, have announced their intentions to run for the District 6 seat on the Barrow County Commission.
Print-ready version

Discuss in Forums
The seat was vacated by the July resignation of Thad Brasfield, who had faced public criticism for not repairing a failing septic tank on his property. The faulty tank earned Brasfield a Barrow County Health Department citation.
But Winder residents Ben Hendrix, Don Holliday and Jim Beckemeyer say they're ready to fill Brasfield's unexpired term, which runs through 2006. On Thursday, the men said their names would be among those on the ballot in a Nov. 2 special election that will fill the seat.
Beth Caldwell, a former District 6 commissioner, was appointed by the commission to fill the seat until the special, nonpartisan election.
None of the declared candidates believe Brasfield's controversial departure would taint the remainder of the term. All three say controlled growth is a key issue for Barrow County.
Hendrix, 50, has held no political office, but said he believes his 10-year career as a Gwinnett County correctional officer would give the commission needed experience in dealing with issues like the work-release center and new jail development.
Holliday, 54, is a self-employed contractor who served as Barrow's commission chairman from 1989-92. Holliday's company, Saint Ives General Contracting, has built several large-scale commercial and residential developments throughout the county. But Holliday said he's for smart growth, namely, bringing more upscale residential development to the county.
Beckemeyer, 42, also has served on the commission previously. He held the District 6 seat from 1995-99. The self-employed farmer didn't seek re-election, but feels his knowledge of environmental issues would add a crucial component to the commission as it develops stricter development regulations. Beckemeyer currently serves on the Barrow County Water and Sewerage Authority.
Qualifying for the special election will take place from 9 a.m. Aug. 23 to noon Aug. 25.

Collision Pattern Modeling and Real-Time Collision Detection at Road Intersections
Salim, Flora, Loke, Seng Wai, Rakotonirainy, Andry, Srinivasan, Bala, & Krishnaswamy, Shonali (2007) Collision Pattern Modeling and Real-Time Collision Detection at Road Intersections. In IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Conference, 30 September - 3 October, Seattle, USA.
The crash rate in road intersection demonstrates the need for a fast and accurate collision detection system. Ubiquitous computing research provides a significant opportunity to develop novel ways of improving road intersection safety. The existing intersection collision warning or avoidance systems are mostly built to suit a particular intersection. We suggest that an intersection collision detection system should be able to adapt to different types of intersections by acquiring the collision patterns of the intersection through data mining. Collision patterns that are specific to that intersection are stored in a knowledge base to select vehicles which are exposed to a high risk of collision. This algorithm increases the speed of collision detection calculation, as detection is not applied on all possible pairs in an intersection. The performance and accuracy of the algorithm are evaluated. This evaluation is done on a developed simulation bed and the results are presented.

The '''Police Stinger''' is a police car available in [[The Ballad of Gay Tony|Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony]].
Revision as of 19:08, 1 November 2009
- Not related to the Stinger sports car.
The Police Stinger is a police car available in Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony.
The Police Stinger is based on the Albany Presidente, but features unique bodywork, a pearlescent paint job, and custom graphics. The front end has been slightly modified and features high intensity discharge headlamps, and a different grille characterized by its chevron shaped bar in the middle. The car's emergency vehicle lighting comes in the form of a slim light bar on the top, and hidden lights in the front bumper and rear window.
The car performs rather well, and despite having the same V10 badging as the Korean Mob Presidente variant, it has a noticeably different engine note, comparable to that of the civilian Buffalo. Unlike any other police vehicle, the car can reach speeds beyond even exotic sports vehicles such as the Comet; its acceleration is also excellent, matching the Turismo, although not quite matching the Sultan RS. The handling is above-average for a vehicle of its weight.
- The Police Stinger can be found in the parking lot of the police headquarters in East Holland, Algonquin, both in single player and multiplayer.
