Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/3/2014 (1262 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: I met a man at a curling bonspiel in the country and we were both instantly attracted to each other. "When we curled against each other, certain curling terms became more and more meaningful," he whispered to me at the end of a long night of partying. We had far too much to drink at the motel where everyone stayed, and he and I spent the night together. Everyone knew. Neither one of us are married, but we live in towns not too far away from each other.
He wants to keep seeing me. I think he's great. He says he is OK with dating me and my staying the night in his town, but the gossip mill around my town is savage. He says he'll endure the gossip in his town if I will put up with it in mine, but he says he won't go into hiding anywhere. If I'm not proud to be seen with him there will be no romance. Isn't he being too hard line about this? -- Private Person, Small Town Manitoba
Dear Private: He's stating his boundaries, but you want things your way. That in itself is telling. It's not all about you if you start dating! He's telling you he wants honesty, equality and pride in the relationship with him. He sounds like a good guy, but he's hearing you wanting things hidden, and you may not feel proud to introduce him around town. You're not inviting him into your world. Who comes out sounding like the better person?
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: I wore stockings and a garter belt to a social under a fairly short skirt. When my boyfriend and I tried to get up from the table to dance, he slipped money into my garter like he was tipping a stripper. I could feel the money against my leg. I know he has had a long history of going to see "the peelers" with his buddies. I took the money out of my garter -- $20 -- and handed it to him in front of his friends. They laughed and he got red in the face.
I went and got my coat and boots, jumped in a cab and went home. I fully expected a phone call and an apology, but have not heard from him since. Now I'm getting worried. I was just trying to teach him a lesson: don't ever treat me like a stripper. -- Not a Cheap Stripper, Winnipeg
Dear Not a Stripper: Combining public humiliation with "a lesson" has backfired, as it always does. He won't be calling again. You should have taken his hand and walked him out to the hall, then you could have said, "I know you think this tip-in-the-garter trick was funny, but when you did that it felt like you were treating me like a stripper at a club. Here's your money back."
Then you might have had a discussion that set a higher tone for the relationship, or if he was rude or flippant, you could have gotten your coat and gone home. To be fair, you were wearing garters and a short skirt, so he might have thought he was playing along with a fantasy you initiated. Now you'll never know, unless you phone him. If he's not a keeper, just leave it alone. If he is basically a good guy, get on the phone and talk to him. Texting won't do for this.
Dear Miss Lonelyhearts: This week I was a victim to a very lonely night and called up an old boyfriend. He came over and we drank the rest of my bottle of wine and one thing led to another and soon we were in the bedroom.
While he helped me make it through the night, we were both confused and awkward in the morning. Nothing had changed. I still drink every day and do stupid impulsive things. He's still just plain stupid, but it's better than being alone. I just really need somebody right now. Should I see him for a few months? It would be selfish of me, I know, but he says he'd be happy to keep seeing me. God, I am so unhappy! -- Lonely Lady, Fort Rouge
Dear Lonely: The bottom line in your life is unhappiness, caused by loneliness, alcoholism and other factors. Alcohol is a depressant, and you're getting lots of it on a daily basis. It's the last thing in the world you need. This is the time to face up to your drinking problem. Your first move should be a call to the Addictions Foundation Manitoba (204-944-6200) to go in for an assessment. You may need rehab to get off the alcohol, or you may not.
At Alcoholics Anonymous meetings you will meet people who are happy to drink coffee and talk and gain strength from each other. Although most people don't talk about this aspect, AA also ends up being a unique kind of social club. Many people make good friends. This could be the best thing that's happened to you in a long time.
As for the ex-boyfriend, don't use this poor man, even if he's willing. He obviously cares much more than you do, and you have both been down this hurtful path together before. You already know it heads for the ditch. He answered your booty call because he couldn't help it. Let him go and call the AFM instead.
Please send your questions or comments c/o firstname.lastname@example.com or mail letters to Miss Lonelyhearts c/o Winnipeg Free Press, 1355 Mountain Ave., Winnipeg, MB, R2X 3B6

H1N1 Vaccination Provided to All Eligible Clinic Attendees
Oct. 24, 2009
The 2009 H1N1 vaccination was provided to 4,331 eligible attendees—pregnant women and children ages 6 to 36 months—at today's Fairfax County Health Department clinic, held at the Fairfax County Government Center.
Many people from the community and various county agencies worked together today so that this high risk group could be protected from H1N1 influenza. On Monday, Oct. 26, H1N1 vaccine will be offered to children 6 months through 36 months of age and pregnant women in the Health Department's five district offices. As more vaccine is made available to the county, distribution plans will be announced.
The best way to help fight 2009 H1N1 influenza is to follow these preventative measures:
- Everyone should cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze, then throw the tissue away.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after coughing or sneezing.
- Stay home if you're sick, and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
More information about H1N1 influenza vaccine can be found online or by calling the Health Department's H1N1 Call Center at 703-267-3511.

Adi Shamir's Threshold Scheme
June 17, 2011
[ Today's exercise was written by guest author Graham Enos, a PhD student in the Applied Mathematics program at UNC Charlotte, with solution in Python rather than Scheme. Suggestions for exercises are always welcome, or you may wish to contribute your own exercise; feel free to contact me if you are interested. ]
In his 1979 paper "How to Share A Secret," Adi Shamir (the S in RSA) proposed a cryptographic scheme that allows n people to share a secret number S in such a way that it takes at least k of them pooling their resources to reconstruct S. This (k, n) threshold scheme uses modular arithmetic and polynomials to give each of the n participants 1/k of the needed information. For our discussion, we'll use a mix of Shamir's notation and that found in chapter 12 of the book Handbook of Applied Cryptography by Menezes, van Oorschot, and Vanstone.
In his paper, Shamir describes how this scheme can be used to allow groups of k people to retrieve the secret number S even if the other n−k pieces of information have been lost or destroyed. For another use case, suppose S is a 2048-bit private RSA key that's been used to encrypt a message. Once k participants get together and pool their information, they can find S and decode the message. However, at least k of them must cooperate to retrieve S; no smaller number of participants will do. Note that S and n can be arbitrarily large integers with k ≤ n. For instance, S could be the ASCII value of some secret letter, or a word encoded by taking letters as digits in base 36. Now for the details.
Given a secret value S, the number of participants n, the threshold number k, and some prime number p > max(S, n), we first construct in secret a polynomial y = q(x) of degree k−1 (modulo our prime p) with constant term S by picking independent random integers between 1 and p−1, inclusive, for the coefficients. Next we choose n unique random integers x between 1 and p−1, inclusive, and evaluate the polynomial at those n points. Each of the n participants is given an (x, y) pair.
To reconstruct S from k pairs (x, y), we use Lagrange Interpolation. In general this technique can rebuild the entire polynomial y = q(x), but since S = q(0), we only need to find q(0):
Note: the exponent −1 signifies taking the multiplicative inverse mod p, that is, the integer z such that z · (xj – xi) ≡ 1 (mod p).
As an example, suppose p = 23, S = 17, and our polynomial y = q(x) is 17 + 4x + 13x2. Since this polynomial has degree two, we need at least three points to reconstruct this polynomial. Suppose furthermore that to three of our n recipients we gave the points (14, 22), (2, 8), and (21, 5). Lagrange Interpolation could be used to recreate the whole polynomial, but we're only interested in the constant term :
S = [22 · 2(2−14)−1 · 21(21−14)−1] + [8 · 14(14−2)−1 · 21(21−2)−1] + [5 · 14(14−21)−1 · 2(2−21)−1] (mod 23)
= [22 · 2 · 11−1 · 21 · 7−1] + [8 · 14 · 12−1 · 21 · 19−1] + [5 · 14 · 16−1 · 21 · 4−1] (mod 23)
= [22 · 2 · 21 · 21 · 10] + [8 · 14 · 2 · 23 · 17] + [5 · 14 · 13 · 21 · 6] (mod 23)
= 194040 + 87584 + 114660 (mod 23)
= 396284 (mod 23)
= 17
The beauty of this scheme is twofold. First, it is rather simple and elegant; the majority of the actual code used to implement the scheme takes less than 15 lines in Python. Second, it has information theoretic security. That is, the security of the scheme relies entirely upon the fact that at least k points are needed to reconstruct a degree k−1 polynomial; nothing less than k points will do. This means its security is based on something being impossible, as opposed to something being believed to be difficult, but not yet proven to be so (e.g. factoring the product of two large primes). This scheme also enjoys other useful properties; see the above references for more.
Your task is to write functions that perform both portions of Shamir's (k, n) threshold scheme. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.

I also wrote a version in Common Lisp, since I'm trying to learn a new language. If there are any CL gurus in the audience, I'd appreciate any feedback!

For good measure, here it is in C and Haskell.

A last second shot by senior Billie Hearn iced the win for the Lady Braves by a score of 40-39.
Prior to the districts, GCHS Lady Braves Coach Shawn West said his team spent the last 10 days working hard on a game plan to face the Lady Cats.
The Grant County Braves traveled north to Villa Madonna for a showdown on Saturday, Jan. 12.
The Williamstown Demons are still struggling for a win despite the team's persistent work and improvements. The team attempted to "Cage Those Cats" on Jan. 10 at Williamstown High School against the Walton-Verona Bearcats.
Williamstown High School celebrated the new year with their annual homecoming night on Jan. 5. Students from the middle and high schools were selected to represent their respective classes in the night's homecoming court, each vying for the winning title.
The Williamstown Demons basketball team faced Villa Madonna with the hope of starting the calendar year with a win. Despite showing significant improvements midway through the season, the Demons were unable to secure a win. Their overall season record is 2-12.
The Williamstown Lady Demons and the Grant County Lady Braves met Dec. 14 to battle for a win while also uniting for the season's second Coaches vs. Cancer event, with proceeds being donated to the Grant County Relay For Life.
Williamstown's gym was stuffed with supporters of both teams who were excited to see the season's first meeting of the cross-town rivals. The game did not disappoint as both teams played to their full potential and gave the crowd a nail-biter until the final buzzer.
The Grant County Lady Braves and the Williamstown Lady Demons both worked hard defensively and offensively when they met for the first time this season.
Despite the Lady Demons effort, they fell short when the Lady Braves came out with a win.
Billie Hearn scored 19 of the 53 points for the Lady Braves.
"We played as a team even though sometimes we rushed the ball and our defense was good tonight, if it was not for the help of my teammates I would not of had this many points," Hearn said.
By Jerry Morris
The Grant County Braves came out to play very focused on what they needed to do at the Dec. 13 meeting against Calvary Christian after a disappointing loss Tuesday night to the Ryle Raiders.
The Lady Braves gained control of the opening tip against the Gallatin County Lady Wildcats on Dec. 12 at home.
The night started off well and the Lady Braves looked as if they were going to do exactly what they were trying to accomplish until Gallatin County came out strong with 20 unanswered points in the first quarter of the game.

THE Thomas Ball Children's cancer fund is hoping to raise money by holding a sponsored midnight "Dream" walk.
The charity aims to reduce sickness and distress among children suffering from cancer and members of their families.
The charity has gained the support of, High Wycombe based bed retailer, Dreams.
Every five pound donation will be eligible to win the bed in a raffle held after the midnight "Dream" walk on Friday, June 27.
Elaine Ball, chairman for the Prestwood based charity, said: "We are so grateful to have the support of Dreams, raffling the bedstead will raise extra funds.
"The quirky twist at the end of our midnight "Dream" walk will hopefully raise more awareness of our cause and what we are doing to help these sick children who are suffering from cancer by making dreams come true with much needed holidays."
Other local businesses have pledged their support to help the charity raise money.
TGI Friday's in High Wycombe have agreed to provide the well earned bacon rolls for the walkers.
Marks and Spencer in Amersham are also providing staff to help out at the event after The Thomas Ball Children's Cancer fund was announced as their charity of the year.
The charity was founded by Thomas Ball, who suffered from neuroblastoma, a rare form of childhood cancer. He died in 2003, aged 14.
To register for the midnight "Dream" walk, volunteers should contact the charity on 01494 890157 or email email@example.com.

NORFOLK, Va.-The University of Pennsylvania women's soccer team entered Sunday's match with Old Dominion having not allowed a goal all season. In fact, the Quakers entered the weekend as the only NCAA Division I program that could boast that.
The winless Monarchs ended that streak, and instead stunned Penn by scoring not once but twice in a 2:04 span toward the latter part of Sunday's first half. However, the Quakers regrouped, got one of the goals back before the break, then tied it in the second half. That was all they could muster, and the match ended in a 2-2 draw.
Penn remains unbeaten, at 4-0-2, after two ties during this weekend's trip to Virginia. Old Dominion is now 0-6-1.
ODU pierced Penn's goal in the 36th minute off a set piece as Jackie Stroud aired it in and Taylor Smith headed it home. It was Smith's first goal of the season. Just 2:04 after that, the Monarchs doubled their lead when Jessie Klamut beat a pair of defenders, then pushed a shot to the back right side of the goal.
With only seven minutes remaining before halftime, Penn desperately needed some momentum heading into the break. They got it when freshman Lindsey Sawczuk -- playing in her home state of Virginia-- netted her first collegiate goal with just 3:11 left. Haley Cooper got the goal started, finding Megan York who found Sawczuk.
In the second half, Penn knotted the score as the match approached the hour mark. Kerry Scalora scored it off a corner kick, her ball curling in as the goalie was unable to handle it.
Penn outshot ODU 10-1 after the halftime break, including 3-0 in both overtime sessions. However, for the second time in as many matches, the winner would not come. Scalora -- who hada game-high five shots in the match --hit the crossbar in the first extra period, and sophomoreErin Mikolai had the only shot on target in the second session (it was saved).
Kalijah Terilli was in goal all the way for Penn; she was called upon to make two saves. At the other end, Meredith Lenox had four stops to keep ODU level.
Penn is on the road again for its next match, traveling to Harvard to open the Ivy League portion of its season next Friday against the Crimson. That game will start at 5 p.m. in Cambridge. On Sunday, the Quakers are home to face Lehigh at 2:30 p.m.

Senarai Hotel Di Kuala Lumpur
Simply Hotels have 463 hotels in Kuala Lumpur.
See all Senarai Hotel Di Kuala Lumpur
With humble origins as a tiny little village, Kuala Lumpur has grown to be a city of massive proportions in around 200 years, an impressive feat without doubt. This huge metropolis is home to around 7 million people and has rapidly grown in popularity as a tourist destination in recent years, primarily because of its modern city lifestyle and its competitive shopping markets (making it one of the cheapest holiday destinations in the world). With incredible modern architecture and a diverse culture, Kuala Lumpur is certainly worth a visit if you're looking for an exciting and interesting holiday surrounded by people of different cultures.
Whilst the city centre is relatively small, the surrounding suburbs (also considered part of the city) sprawl over miles and miles of densely populated landscape. Although it may have a perceived lack of history (due to Kuala Lumpur's relative youth) this city's impressive modernization makes it a vibrant and bustling place that constantly offers new surprises. With a western outlook, but whilst maintaining its oriental culture, Kuala Lumpur holds a fierce rivalry with neighbouring Singapore due to their very close cultural ties and rapid modernization.
If you plan to visit Kuala Lumpur Simply Hotels can help you find Senarai Hotel Di Kuala Lumpur.
Experience Kuala Lumpur
Kuala Lumpur is certainly the kind of city that needs to be experienced, rather than simply "seen". If you're looking for a city with dozens of tourist attractions and countless museums, this isn't the place for you. The real pleasures derived from the city come from shopping, eating, and simply immersing yourself in the culture. On the other hand, the architecture throughout the city is certainly as impressive as you're likely to see, so be sure to spend as much of your time looking upwards as possible as you walk around.
Shopping in Kuala Lumpur
One of the greatest features of Kuala Lumpur is its shopping. There is arguably no better place in the world to shop than this mall-filled city, which is one of the main reasons it is able to attract visitors from all over the world. Due to an incredibly competitive market environment, Kuala Lumpur is able to offer internationally-expensive goods at unbelievably low prices, and they may as well give away some of the normally moderately-priced goods! The city has approximately 70 shopping malls, all of which have dozens (if not hundreds) of stores selling almost any product imaginable. There are malls purely for luxury goods, malls for those on a budget, and even malls with whole floors dedicated to particular aspects of fashion. Whether you're looking for high-end clothing from the world's best designers, or you're looking to buy a digital camera for half the price it is in other countries, Kuala Lumpur's many shopping malls and markets will serve you well.
Kuala Lumpur Cuisine / Eating Out in Kuala Lumpur
As much as Kuala Lumpur showcases Malaysia's love for the marketplace, it also showcases its love for food. Cuisine is a huge part of the culture here and one which you simply won't be able to ignore during your visit. Whilst Malaysian food can seem a little daunting at first, once you try it you'll realize why the locals love it so much. You can eat almost anywhere in city for a miniscule amount of money, buying from one of the street stalls or small takeaway restaurant. The food you'll find at these places will be fantastic given the price, and you may find yourself wanting to stick to the cheap stuff. However, if you're looking for a more sophisticated meal, the city has plenty to offer (just make sure you arrive reasonably early, as most restaurants close at around 10pm).
Senarai Hotel Di Kuala Lumpur
Bukit Bintang is the most popular area to stay in when visiting Kuala Lumpur. Bukit Bintang is closest to most of Kuala Lumpur's best late night bars and nightlife. However if partying to dawn isn't your thing, don't worry there are lots of other options for you. Consider staying in the Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) area, the KLCC area is the heart of Kuala Lumpur and is made up of busy grids of streets. Stay in the KLCC area and you'll be within walking distance to most of the city's best restaurants and shopping areas.
No matter which part of Kuala Lumpur you stay in, there are plenty of choices when it comes to accommodation options, Senarai Hotel Di Kuala Lumpur for example. Kuala Lumpur have some of the cheapest five star hotels in the world, the best International luxury hotels and lots of boutique hotels. Even most of the cheaper budget hostels and backpackers are better quality than most other average cities.
So it doesn't matter if you're traveling on a tight budget, traveling with your family or staying in Kuala Lumpur for business, you will be able to find Senarai Hotel Di Kuala Lumpur on Simply Hotels.
As with all hotels (or any type of accommodation) in every city, there are no booking fees with Simply Hotels. Booking fees are expensive and avoidable. We compare prices of Senarai Hotel Di Kuala Lumpur and show you how much it would be to book.

The Dog Ate My Homework!Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
Jack went to school one day with an excuse and no homework. When he got to class, he went up to his teacher. "Buddy, my dog, ate my homework," he told her.
"OK, now I know you're lying," she said.
"How?" he asked. "You know I have a dog named Buddy."
What did the teacher respond?
HintSome things are implied, not said.

Boynton, UF's second all-time leading scorer at 2,033 points, went unpicked in two rounds of Thursday night's NBA draft. The 6-foot-2 former McDonald's All-American was a four-year starter and part of three straight Elite Eight teams.
Boynton will report to the Lakers' summer-league team in Las Vegas for games July 12-22. The Pompano Beach native grew up a Lakers' fan and has posters of both Kobe Bryant and LeBron James in his room.

DEMOLITION work is under way on a mill that has been labelled an "eyesore, landmark and potential death-trap".
Howe Bridge Number Three Mill has stood in the centre of Atherton for 124 years but has been empty and derelict for a year-and-a-half.
Work has now started to demolish the building and the adjoining Number Six Mill — added in 1919 as part of a plan to redevelop the site into a housing estate.
Shahram Sakhdari, head of development at Realty Estates, which owns the site, said: "The demolition was originally approved as part of a supermarket's plan to build a store there but that fell through and now there is a plan to build up to 135 houses on the site.
That may change though as another planning application will need to be submitted by the housing company."
The demolition was believed to have been delayed due to fears that there was asbestos in the building.
But Mr Sakhdari said: "The delay was not a delay from our point of view. One of the planning conditions was that the building needed to be documented because of its heritage. Because of that demolition did not start as early as expected but it was not a delay."
The mill is the last of six to be demolished, the first having been built in 1865 and the last in 1919 by Fletcher Burrows, a coal mining company.
Howe Bridge Spinning Co Ltd became the largest cotton spinning complex in Atherton but it was closed as a textile factory in 1996, by which time the two tall chimneys and at least two of the mills had been demolished.
Police are warning people to stay away from the site after several incidents where children have broken into the derelict building.

"Why do you give a shit about that piece of shit?" then-Santa Fe County Adult Detention Facility Warden Cody Graham allegedly asked a nurse in late 2002 about inmate Jimmy Villanueva.
Villanueva, 55, was serving a one-year sentence at the facility for violating his probation on an underlying drug-possession offense, when he began to have back pain. SFCADF staff diagnosed him with everything from insomnia to fractured ribs. After Villanueva's pain became so acute that he couldn't move off his bunk, the detention center had him transported to an outside radiologist, who observed an abnormality in his chest that the clinician thought could be a tumor. The radiologist referred Villanueva for further testing. When none was performed, a nurse asked Graham about the lack of follow-up. Graham responded by calling Villanueva a "piece of shit."
Months dragged on without the prescribed diagnostic testing. At one point, Villanueva told a cellmate that, if he didn't go to the hospital, he would die in jail. Finally, he was transported by ambulance to Christus St. Vincent Regional Medical Center, where an MRI found fast-spreading lung cancer. Villanueva began "urgent radiation treatment" the following day. Two weeks later, still an inpatient at the hospital, he was dead.
"Our expert said that timely intervention could have saved Jimmy's life," Mark Donatelli, the Santa Fe attorney who negotiated a hefty settlement
for Villanueva's family after his death, tells SFR. "As a result of those delays, the Villanueva family had to experience the tragedy of not only losing a loved one, but watching the incredible suffering he went through with lung cancer."
Donatelli and others draw a connection between Villanueva's case and the jail's management: At the time of his death, the detention facility was run by a private corporation. During eight years of private management, the Santa Fe County jail got into legal hot water not only for Villanueva's death, but also for several other cases of medical and behavioral health care negligence. Since the county assumed control of the facility in 2005, there have been no medical malpractice suits related to inmate care.
But declining revenues and rising costs have put the prison in a different kind of trouble. Some officials say the county can't handle the expense, and they've proposed a solution: to return the jail's medical care to private management. To Donatelli and other critics, that's a death knell for the very prisoners the system is intended to heal.
And as county officials weigh their options, one company—Colorado-based Correctional Healthcare Management—waits eagerly in the wings.

The allied servicemen who spent time in wartime Britain were far from home and often lonely so it is hardly surprising that many found their true loves on these shores. Marriages were often arranged hastily before the grooms were posted far away.
Once peace had been established the problem arose on how to transport the brides to their new homelands. The wait for transportation could be lengthy and frustrating, but eventually the British brides were reunited with their husbands.
This website offers an index to brides who left Britain and travelled to United States, New Zealand, Australia and Canada. New names are being added to the index regularly so if you don't find "your" missing person first time round remember to keep going back.

AS holiday sites go, there are worse locations.
Three motor homes belonging to Irish travellers have made camp on the clifftop right behind the Bournemouth International Centre.
They gained access to the private road because of an insecure barrier.
One of the travellers, enjoying the morning sunshine overlooking the beach and pier said: "We are over from Ireland for a few days on our holiday.
"It's a lovely spot here and we are not causing a problem to anyone.
"We'll probably stay until the weekend and then head off to Torquay and Paignton."
He added: "The sunset was very nice here last night."
A spokesman for Bournemouth Borough Council said: "Our council officers are aware of the recent unauthorised encampment on the West Slope behind the BIC. They are doing all they can, taking the necessary legal action to move them on as soon as possible.
"A needs assessment has been carried out and in the meantime, our council officers are visiting the site on a regular basis to monitor the situation."
Security guards were put in place.
After a lengthy process to try and identify a suitable location for a travellers' site within Bournemouth, the council has now ruled out this possibility and has instead decided to deter travellers by defending its public open spaces.
In response to a recent Freedom of Information request, the council revealed it paid £33,000 to Insight Security in 2013/14 to bolster defences at Kings Park.
Similar security measures are put in place at Pelhams Park and other potentially vulnerable locations as and when needed.

There's so much going on in Talk and the comments week to week that we almost can't keep up. If you're in the same boat, here's a small selection of topics and responses that have piqued our interest this week.
New to Whole Foods
"When I posted earlier in the thread I forgot to pretend that I buy most of my food from coops and farmer's market because I wouldn't be caught dead eating the industrialized crap they sell in mainstream grocery stores."—redfish
What gift should I give a new vegetarian/vegan?
"@Jim-Bob: Laughing out loud here. I was thinking something along those lines before I posted before. Like a meat funeral....a petting zoo with goats and pigs dressed in black."— Mr. Nick
Ask an Alcoholic: What's your biggest bartender pet peeve?
"Wait--leggings aren't pants????" — CandiRisk
"Haha, @Candirisk. They are pants as long as you are Hamlet, King of Denmark!" — TeacherTalk
"Leggings are pants only if they are accompanied by a codpiece." — belinskaya
What is your Achilles Heel?
"Sometimes I feel like I can (and if faced with it, nearly will) eat my weight in lox. And I'm not skinny." — BangieB
20 Recipes to Help Cure Your Hangover
"One of the things I love the most about Serious Eats is its open and loving embrace of the hangover food requirement. Some other food blogs may cloak it under auspicious adjectives like "rich", "comforting", and "filling." Not here. Here there is a knowing nod, a cold glass of water with some Advil, and a veritable treasure chest of recipes and restaurant items that will take you from "oh god my head what year is it" to "Ok, I think I can do this." Thank you, Serious Eats. My people. "—cheftastic
Cook the Book: 'Salty Snacks'
"I have a soft spot (around my waistline mostly) for nacho cheese sauce." — Phunnyfarm
Which activities slow you down in the kitchen?
"Chopping, definitely. Nothing pisses me off as much as a recipe that claims to only have an active time of ten minutes because it assumes that I have everything chopped before the time starts."—scalfin

Men's Palladium Wedding Band
My friend decided that he wanted to up-grade his wedding band this year. He was interested in getting a platinum ring but they were not able to afford it. Then I came across these stunning palladium bands! I told him that palladium offers everything platinum does but at a lower price and he didn't believe me. Finally I got him to check it out for himself. Once he read some information on palladium and saw the rings he fell in love with them. I knew I was right! His new wedding band is even better than he had hoped for.

While the names of programs like "Disc Opponent #1" and "Young Man on Recognizer" are not in the credits and were never spoken aloud in Legacy, these programs were named on the scoreboards for the disc-wars and lightcycle matches they were in. Is this information, when specifically identifiable with the program in question (i.e. by matching scoreboard number to helmet number), canonical enough to include in the pages for these programs? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Infiniteviking (talk • contribs)
For the most part, yes. They've been identified with these names in credits, so if that character has a minor purpose within the story, then they have a page. There are a few however, that shouldn't have their own pages and those few are on my to-do list of things to sort out. ;) The ones that cannot be matched are the Disc Wars and Light Cycle Grid gladiator names, because when these are tracked down, they only show up continuity problems rather than name-to-face matches. -- WarBlade 07:25, May 25, 2011 (UTC)
After re-reading, my response wasn't entirely clear. Young Man on Recognizer etc. are named as such in the credits, so they're documented under those names. Eckery, Wulf, Backus etc. are from a pool of names that sometimes reappear after they should be derezzed, so they're too inconsistent to use for articles and most aren't really shown in the first place. -- WarBlade 14:12, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

This one goes back a couple of weeks because these were the first shots on a fresh roll.
I started with a prepackaged crust, oiled one side, and grilled it for a few minutes.
I put the sauce, cheese, pepperoni, mushrooms, and black olives on the grilled side.
Previously I'd had some issues with burned crusts so this time I kept the fire really low, but I think it was too low as the toppings didn't get done enough by the time the crust was ready.
So that's where the cheat-za part came in: I added some more cheese and put the pizza under the broiler until it was nicely browned.
To be perfectly honest this was one of the best grilled pizzas I've done. The grill did I nice job on the crust and there was some good flavor from the lump charcoal and oak branch I used, and the broiler did a good job of finishing off the top side. Next time I'm going to try a hotter fire to see if I can get the toppings more done but I wouldn't hesitate to use the broiler again if necessary.


text: Thelma was a birdwatcher, a Girl Scout leader, associated with Stage Crafters, a local theater group, and a genealogist. She was also a member and officer of the Garden Club and the Women's Club. I first met Thelma when she was volunteering at the Family History Center (LDS). She gave one of the classes at a genealogy seminar that I attended. Later on, we would work together on the late afternoon shift at the Family HIstory Center. Then, she offered me the opportunity to co-teach a genealogy class at the Center for Life-Long Learning; we taught together for several years before Thelma passed away. Thelma had many friends and spent many hours serving the community. She had a remarkable talent for retelling the family stories she had heard as a girl.

A COMMUNITY centre, sports pitches, a public park and a care home are all on the cards for Beaconsfield after early plans for a major housing development were discussed for the first time.
A blueprint outlining South Bucks District Council's vision for transforming Wilton Park will be put out for public consultation in the next two months.
The plans have been developed with Inland Homes, the 'preferred bidder' that agreed a deal with the MoD for the former Defence School of Languages site last month.
Plans include 17 hectares of public open space, up to 300 new homes and a new bus route linking Beaconsfield with the park to the east.
SBDC's Sustainable Development Policy Advisory Group met on December 17 to discuss the Wilton Park Supplementary Planning Document.
And councillors agreed to start a six-week consultation period, two weeks longer than the usual timescale due to the scale of the project.
The document, which takes into account public feedback from Inland Homes exhibition in March, outlines plans for a 'Community Hub' which will double as changing rooms for the sports fields.
The community centre could also incorporate healthcare facilities if required.
Commercial office space earmarked for the area would allow offices, a care home, a crèche and small scale local retail to set up alongside new homes.
Many of the existing buildings, including the 15-storey tower block, are likely to be demolished, though some could be retained.
The document pledges to provide a 40 per cent affordable housing mix, up to 120 homes, as part of the council's Core Policy obligations.
The first section of a relief road for London End is also proposed, with access from the Pyebush roundabout.
This would rely on the County Council funding the remainder of the road past the park boundary, with a relief road remaining one of the highway authority's top five priorities.
School places emerged as a key issue for Beaconsfield residents during the initial consultation, and the council claims existing schools will have to create extra places.
There are no plans for a new school to be built at Wilton Park.
Following the consultation period, SBDC will take into account the public response before completing a finalised blueprint for developers to use when applying for formal planning permission.

Good morning,
This workshop was informative for me. I particularly liked the simulation that
dealt with both types of unemployment and inflation. Having the students
explain why their occupation might become unemployed by particular headlines
in the newspaper and the type of unemployment appeared to be fruitful. The
teacher went on to ask the students in their roles, how inflation might impact
them. I found this activity to be a great way to make sure the kids understand
the basics of these two topics.
When unemployment was brought up, the teacher identified the work force as any
16 year old or older who was not institutionalized as being a member of the
work force.
What does institutionalized mean?
Are high school students institutionalized?
Does it just mean prisons and psych hospitals?
Any clarification on this would be much appreciated.
What type of unemployment is it when you are horrible at your job, and you get
I look forward to your responses.

MASKED robbers carrying knives raided a York convenience store leaving staff terrified.
The two raiders targeted McColl's in Crichton Avenue in Clifton, and took cash from the till. Police say the shop workers were not hurt but were left very shaken.
There were no customers inside the shop at the time of the attack, which took place at 9.25pm on Saturday.
One neighbour, who did not want to be named, said a young female shop assistant was trembling and visibly afraid afterwards.
She said: "There was a crowd outside the shop - that's how we knew something was going on. Then the police came, and they were all over the place afterwards.
"I think they are going to have to step up their presence round here. There used to be PCSOs on the street all the time, but I haven't seen any since Christmas."
The shop was cordoned off and closed for business until mid-morning yesterday.
Residents said there was a heavy police presence in the streets around the shop on Saturday evening and yesterday officers were seen making door-to-door inquiries in the area.
Now police say detectives are making extensive investigations to find the suspects, including forensic examinations at the scene and CCTV analysis.
Both of the robbers were wearing hooded tops and scarves over their faces and police want witnesses, or anyone else who can help, to come forward.
Coun Ken King, who represents Clifton on City of York Council, spoke of a strong community spirit in the area.
"I am astounded that something like this has taken place in that area. There is normally a thriving community round there, so for someone to go into those shops to rob them surprises me.
"As I understand it, crime has been going down in Clifton and across York. It must have been terrible for the people who were working in the shop. I just hope the police find those responsible and bring them to court for the justice they deserve."
Staff in the shop declined to comment yesterday, and a spokesman for McColl's said it was company policy not to issue any statements while police investigations were ongoing.
Coun Helen Douglas, who lives close to the shop, said the attack was shocking, especially as community safety had improved in Clifton over recent years.
"It just seems unreal.
"Things have improved massively in the 13 years I have been here because of a lot of work by the police, the council, the local church and schools."
• A 23-year-old man was last night arrested by police in connection with the robbery and was being held in custody.

Does Bikini Razor Commercial Go Too Far?
Are women expected to "mow their lawns" to make men happy?
–Carrie Seim
Have you mowed your lawn lately? Trimmed your shrubs? Pruned your hedges? Summer's just around the bend – time to weed your lady garden! This reminder brought to you by a new, possibly offensive, definitely hilarious commercial for Quattro bikini razors.
The filthy-funny British spot, created by Wilkinson Sword (marketed as Schick in the U.S.), doubles up on double entendre. It riffs on a tamer U.S. commercial you may have already seen.
The spot opens with a woman stroking a furry cat in her lap. She's joined by some gal pals, who burst into a rousing chorus of the bouncy jingle: "Mow the Lawn!"
An African-American lady sings, "Some bushes are really big!"
An Asian lady sings, "Some gardens are mighty small."
A white lady sings, ""All that's left for me to see are tulips on the mound." (Get it? Tu-lips. On the mound.)
The commercial gushes with imagery of hedge clippers, a chainsaw (!) and topiaries sculpted into landing strips and hearts.
The spot ends with the white lady stroking her – now hairless – cat.
Subtle, much?
I'm sure many women will be outraged with this commercial. Or offended that corporations are now publicly encouraging women to shave their bikini "areas." (Why are they called "areas," by the way? And "landing strips?" Is someone from the FAA calling the shots on pubic hair nomenclature?)
But the reality is – nearly every woman I know neatens her nether regions. Some do it because it's fashionable – the miniskirt of personal grooming.
Some do it because men love it – and expect it. One guy told me, "It's weird because a landing strip in college was considered so sexy. But now I'm a little annoyed when there is even a little bit left behind." Another guy said he recently slept with a girl with who had an "overgrown, '70s-style" look. "It was disconcerting to say the least. If a girl is going to sleep with you and she doesn't prep accordingly, what does that say about how she feels about you?"
The last man I spoke to said, "An unruly vagina is a manifestation of some POW fantasy!"
Others do it because it feels good. Like amazingly good. In certain situations. Did I mention amazing?
Back to the commercial. I know I'm going to be unpopular (as unpopular as an unshaved "area") for saying this – but I think it's great.
For years we've been inundated with condescending ads laden with bizarre euphemisms for "female" products. I could go my entire life without hearing the phrases "intimate moment," "staying regular" or "not so fresh feeling" again.
It's refreshing to watch a pitch-perfect parody of those patronizing lady ads. Finally – a company that has a sense of humor. And thinks I'm smart enough to get the joke.
And to be fair, Philips Norelco started this whole thing with its hysterical Shave Everywhere Web site directed at men and their… "areas." The site's NSFW – but it's brilliant. And see? It's not just women who are being encouraged to prune the hedges.
All's fair in love and shaving!
What do you think? Does this Quattro bikini razor commercial cross the line? Do women face too much pressure from men when it comes to body hair grooming?

Sushisamurai - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkIt would almost seem like a 65W Kaveri would have been a better fit in this system... Especially considering local file playback Reply
Sushisamurai - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkOops, didn't notice this was a 15W watt part... Kaveri doesn't really fit then... Or does it ^_~ Reply
BMNify - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkno amd soc meets these soc as AVX2 and Intel® Quick Sync Video are pretty much a base requirement in 2014/15 for high quality video playback and real time video capture/streaming. Reply
BMNify - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkOC saying that , even this dual core/quad thread intel soc doesn't really cut it for me, i cant even remember the last dual core anything i bought, even with intel in 2014/15 even if the OEM's are buying loads of intel soc for the next mobile/static blitz this holiday season , im not interested in buying as an end consumer unless its got quad core, and the said AVX2+ and Quick Sync... Reply
Assimilator87 - Friday, August 01, 2014 - link
no amd soc meets these soc as AVX2 and Intel® Quick Sync Video are pretty much a base requirement in 2014/15 for high quality video playback and real time video capture/streaming.

BMNify, I'm not arguing against your love for AVX2 and Quick Sync. On the other hand, you've overlooked some details. Haswell is not an SoC. That honor belongs to the Saltwell based chips. Also, both AMD and nVidia have equivalents to Quick Sync, being VCE and NVENC respectively. Reply
xdrol - Sunday, August 03, 2014 - linkMobile Haswell _is_ an SoC.
But AVX2 as base requirement? lol.. there are practically no programs for AVX2 because Intel decided to leave it out 70+% of all sold devices (Celerons, Pentiums). And QuickSync as "high quiality"? Have you even seen what blurry shit it makes? Reply
emn13 - Sunday, August 03, 2014 - linkThat's just nonsense. You certainly don't need quicksync for even high-end video playback - a single CPU tends to be enough (and you've got more than one, right?). I suspect AMD has a "iGPU" accelerated playback mode too. Though again, you don't need it (and the quality of quicksync is inferior to that of software decoders/encoders).
AVX2 is neat, but similar truly not a requirement.
I recently got smoothvideo to run... smoothly on an ancient Q6600 with an ancient 9600GT card. I would certainly recommend more, but note: you really don't need quicksync. Reply
Flunk - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkGigabyte build a Brix based on AMD's last-gen Richland core. Now that a 45watt Kaveri chip is available they may decide to build one with that.
For perspective the i7-4770R in the Brix Pro, which is both larger and runs hot is a 65watt chip so I can't see zotac fitting it in here. Reply
nathanddrews - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkI was going to say "wait for Carrizo", but that will likely be a 28nm part (at this rate), so I don't think they'll get their power/heat issues resolved. I like these little systems, but they are all just too weak in GPU power to justify moving away from my current setups. Reply
Sushisamurai - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkYeah, little systems attract me too. But I agree with subpar GPU performance. I still remember my netbook struggling to run a 1080p mkv file... *sighs* Reply
Assimilator87 - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkYou guys are forgetting that the NUC and related SFF PCs all use mobile chips. If you want a full Kaveri with 512 shaders, the FX-7600P has a 35W TDP. For something with similar TDP to the i5 U, there's the FX-7500 at 19W, although that only has 384 shaders. Reply
Voldenuit - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkNeeds copper foam afro. Reply
Bobs_Your_Uncle - Sunday, August 03, 2014 - linkGiven the spherical nature of this beast, maybe even a copper foam Goatee would be a stylish compliment to the fro action.
( Scratching your head? => http://hexus.net/tech/news/systems/72569-silent-po... ) Reply
know of fence - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkAny chance that those Benchmarks find their way into Bench?
I'd really appreciate some perspective of just how a dual core i5 fits into the full picture or how it compares to the 10W 4C/4T J1900 CPUs formerly known as Bay Trail, which also come with 9-19VDC adapters and are available as mini-ITX boards.
With the piddly cooling system being the Achilles heel of these SFFs, some noise testing would be appreciated. Reply

arod916 - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkLooks like the design was ripped off from the Nexus Q. Google could sue them hmmm. Reply
M/2 - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkA Mac Mini is the same price... why do Mini's never make the "compared to" list? You can run MS & Linux as well as OSX on a Mini.... At the risk of being called a Fanboy (they're all JUST MACHINES). IMHO, I'd still opt for a Mini Reply
M/2 - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkPS: Sound is the only thing I see that may be better than a mini. Mini's have options for i7, 2 memory slots, so someone tell why this hardware set (or most of the others) are better? Reply
Iketh - Friday, August 01, 2014 - linkwhat's a "mac" ? Reply
FelixDraconis - Saturday, August 02, 2014 - linkThe mini is lacking the newest Haswell chip, which should hopefully come soon. Should be an even better value proposition.
But people also didn't take into account that it comes with an OS, whereas the Zotac does not.
We often use Mac Minis for light servers and compile machines, as you can fit a whole bunch of them in a small space and span virtual screens with software. They're not amazing but they're solid and dependable and get the job done. Reply

To paraphrase a genius as yourself, IMHO I'd still opt for anything without the apple tax kthxbye Reply
tim851 - Saturday, August 02, 2014 - link599 at Apple.
Has a better CPU and an internal PSU, which makes the form factor more convenient. Reply
Glaurung - Saturday, August 02, 2014 - linkHuh. Newegg must be smoking something. The exact same machine goes for $599 on the Apple.com site: http://store.apple.com/us/buy-mac/mac-mini. And when they're in stock, you can get a refurbished one (identical to new except it comes in a plain white box) for $509: http://store.apple.com/ca/product/FD387LL/A/refurb... Reply
M/2 - Sunday, August 10, 2014 - linkI used to use the AppleTax word myself. I used to build my own machines. Having two minis running 24x7 , the new one for 3 years straight, the old one 4 years. Thus, I'm over both of those habits. If you compare them side by side, spec by spec, you may see the so-called AppleTax is minimal at best. ....OBTW, it's just a machine, not a religion. Both of mine are buried in the behind all my other AV gear. I rarely touch them, they just work. Reply
know of fence - Saturday, August 02, 2014 - linkYou are absolutely right. The mac mini was the first to create this form factor in 2005, It was Apple's strategy to sell frequency constrained mobile parts as silent and eco-friendly. From tablets, ultrabooks to NUCs it's all just uninspired imitation.
Buying a laptop is also always the better choice (same parts after all), which is why the minis aren't all that popular in the apple camp either. Reply
Glaurung - Saturday, August 02, 2014 - link"Buying a laptop is also always the better choice"
Unless you're using it as a desktop or server and don't need or want to pay for the screen/keyboard/trackpad/battery. Reply
know of fence - Sunday, August 03, 2014 - linkThing is laptops can make great desktops or servers, but not vice versa. They don't look to shabby on the desk, the shelf or the living room either, and they come with an uninterruptable power supply build in.
When everyone is on an electronic bugdet with almost omnipotent devices like smartphones, PCs, consoles all of which require replacement in perpetuity, is there room for a limited purpose blue skull, with a 281 $ Intel dual core?
There is a sensible TDP limit for eco-friendly PCs, but it ain't 15 W. There is also no pupose to cramming a stationarry PC into a little box, beyond "neat". "Neat" doesn't sell, either, or help anyone to improve their social status. Reply
wireframed - Monday, August 04, 2014 - linkLaptops aren't designed for 24/7 usage, so no, they aren't great servers. Neither are they particularly expandable. Getting a few TB of storage into a laptop isn't cheap or easy. Neither is getting lots of RAM.
As for desktops, sure, if you don't mind the premium. If you think the formfactor and screen come without a price, well...
Lastly, laptops typically make more noise running full-tilt, or else they throttle. While this system probably doesn't run completely silent either, at least you don't pay the full laptop premium. The footprint is also smaller than a laptop (because laptops are low and wide, even when the volume is identical). Reply
bobbozzo - Saturday, August 02, 2014 - linkHi,
1. How's the thermal performance?
We'd probably leave it running 24/7 with a larger-capacity HDD installed
2. I don't think 'Credentials' is the best word, in the title of page 4

ct909 - Sunday, August 03, 2014 - linkWe deployed a number of the D54250WYKH units, and although the i5-4250U is not in the same league as the i7-4770R of the Brix, for standard office apps, they work well enough.
Apart from the usual "I like it but could I have a faster one" request, the wish-list feature that seemed to get the most requests was a QI charger built into the lid, so you can place your phone on the computer to re-charge - we have them sitting on the desk.
It seems that Intel are planning this for the next iteration, and personally, I can't see that working with a sphere. Reply
Impulses - Tuesday, August 05, 2014 - linkHmm, phones usually get a little warmer charging thru Qi, not sure I'd want that atop a small form factor case... Unless you're working in like a 3ft cubicle or something. Reply

same price since intel cpu are way more expensive. Reply
Haravikk - Monday, August 04, 2014 - linkIt's nice to see something a little different, but I can't help but feel like they could have utilised the space better. For example, an internal PSU that occupies some of the extra internal space. I dunno, I just think it'd be more pleasing to have a unit that has nothing coming out of it besides a power cable and monitor cable, a brick kind of spoils that IMO. It also seems like it could have been a prime candidate for a passively cooled case, due to the sheer amount of surface area compared to the more compact, flat NUC systems. Reply

What has been the amount of riders in there at one time?
The most has probably been 25.
Who has been the most impressive guest to watch in the warehouse? Most impressive single trick you've seen go down there?
I would say everyone has their days. The session that go down on a regular basis are pretty sick. Lots of progression. Some days it's a 1080, some it's a triple whip, some, who knows… Lately a lot of big stuff has been going down on a daily basis.
Your best trick you ever did there?
I got a few I like; no-handed 360 flip, wall to switch flair, and roll in flip,
Anything you are currently working on behind closed doors?
Lines really, a lot of back to back stuff.
Has there been one session over the years that really stands out as being the best?
There was a sick session this summer in the middle of the tour and pretty much all of us threw everything we had before lunch.
Average number of hours you ride the warehouse per week?
I would say around 20 to 24.
What's the sound system like in there; and what is usually playing during your normal sessions?
Speakers and an iPod… A little Motley Crue, Metallica , Slaughter, Cinderella, and some hard stuff Mike Laird plays. Haha.
Besides your warehouse, where do you normally ride?
Through the season, I pretty much ride the warehouse.
Besides your warehouse, where has been your favorite place to ride?

A baby girl has died after being left inside a car in Victoria, prompting warnings from doctors before the hottest days of summer arrive.
The six-month-old fell unconscious in the car, parked in the rural city of Bendigo, northwest of Melbourne, on Tuesday just after 7pm (AEDT), an Ambulance Victoria spokesman said.
Paramedics were called, found the baby was in cardiac arrest and performed CPR on the way to hospital.
But the child died later that evening.
The temperature had reached 30.1C in Bendigo at 7pm, according to Bureau of Meteorology.
Kidsafe Victoria, an accident prevention foundation, issued a "red alert" to parents on the extreme dangers of leaving children in cars on hot days.
President Robert Caulfield said temperatures inside a car can skyrocket up to 30C hotter than the outside temperature while an infant's small body puts him or her at even greater risk.
"The clear message is to take the children with you, even if you think you will only be gone for a few minutes," he said in a statement.
"It could save their life or avoid them suffering severe brain damage."
The Australian Medical Association's Victorian president Dr Stephen Parnis also issued a warning about the dangers of heat-related illness, saying he was concerned the message was not sinking in.
"Hot cars in summer are very dangerous, especially for kids; they need a cool environment and have to remain hydrated," Dr Parnis said in a statement.
He said there were predictions of sweltering temperatures over summer in the months ahead.
A police spokeswoman said a 27-year-old Golden Square woman was interviewed overnight and released without charge.
Homicide detectives are investigating.

NEW YORK (AP) – Jeff Francoeur and David Wright each hit a two-run homer, and the New York Mets put on an impressive power show at cavernous Citi Field in a 6-0 victory over the Minnesota Twins on Sunday.
Ike Davis also went deep – very, very deep – and the Mets racked up 14 hits to back Jonathon Niese's fourth straight win since coming off the disabled list. New York took two of three in an interleague series between playoff contenders, improving to 3-8 in rubber games this season.
Francoeur finished a triple shy of the cycle, emphatically ending a 3-for-22 slide. Wright and Jesus Feliciano also had three hits as the Mets completed interleague play with a 13-5 mark, their most victories against AL teams in one year.
