Dehumidifiers are best suited for areas that are moist or unheated. Also depending on their purpose of use, the types of dehumidifiers vary in their type. There are compressor, desiccant, petlier and absorbent based dehumidifiers available in the market. You can place it in damp areas like storage space, basement, garages, caravans, holiday homes, workshops and conservatories.
Benefits of using a portable dehumidifier
Some of the best UK dehumidifier models come into picture especially when there is a requirement of regularly shifting these equipments. Also they are best suited for people who travel from one place to another. They ensure faster recovery of condensation problems and have efficient drying rates. Along with this, they help to cut down the cost of restoration. The best thing about the portable models is that it is easiest to install them. They provide instantaneous drying to all the corners of the house.
How can it help during holidays?
- If you are going on a caravan holiday, portable dehumidifiers help dry the wet areas and protect the caravan equipments from humidity and dampness. The technology used in the dehumidifiers can also helps in eliminating the odors and avoid mold formation on the floors and walls of the vehicle.
- During camping, portable dehumidifiers can be shifted to your tent or camps easily from your caravans. Just roll out the unit, place it and switch it on anywhere you want.
- Carrying the dehumidifiers with you can solve the health issues you might end up with in the future.
- Perfect temporary dehumidification solution for humidity problems.
- It would be really difficult to heat up a damp caravan or a tent spot, so start using the dehumidifiers at the right temperature. For instance do not start them during the night which might be really draining for the dehumidifiers to function.
While you travel, I am sure you would not be willing to worry every time about the altering temperatures. Properly sized portable dehumidifiers help to prevent the condensation appearing in your caravan or tent camps. Just note that while you migrate to different places electricity would also be an issue. It would be great if you get some chargeable dehumidifiers that fit your place.
In this way portable dehumidifiers can be of help for travelers in UK. Prone to bad weather, most travel destinations may not be equipped with dehumidifiers. Using the dehumidifiers in the recreational vehicles, watercraft cabins and boats can be very effective. The independent performance of the movable humidity regulators is greatly commendable in this way.

"We travel because, no matter how comfortable we are at home, there's a part of us that wants - that needs - to see new vistas, take new tours, obtain new traveler's checks, buy new souvenirs, order new entrees, introduce new bacteria into our intestinal tracts, learn new words for 'transfusion', and have all the other travel adventures that make us want to french-kiss our doormats when we finally get home"
Apart from photographs, what else will you take back with you after your visit? You can find a few suggestions for your shopping below…
Like everywhere else in the world, St Helena offers the visitor a wide variety of souvenirs to take home as a reminder of the visit. Some, although they may carry the name St Helena and possibly some local images, are actually manufactured elsewhere and imported for sale. On this page, for the benefit of our more discerning visitors, we concentrate on the souvenirs that are actually produced locally, often by hand and in many cases using skills that have been passed down over many generations.
Places where you can shop for quality locally-made souvenirs include:
Some things to look out for when shopping are described below.
Below: Locally-made jewellery • Local woodcraft • Hand-made lace • Other items worthy of note • Foreign Currency • Shopping - a different experience • Read More
Locally-made jewellery ∧
Several people on St Helena make jewellery. Every item is hand-made, and in some cases each piece is unique. Local materials are used when possible, though we are limited by what's available{2}.
An example of locally-made jewellery is the Treasures range. Designer Virginia Benjamin writes:
For as long as I can remember I have always loved to do things with my hands, whether it was fiddling with VCRs or televisions or even changing plugs.
The Treasures range is available from the Moonbeams Shop. Other producs are available.
Local woodcraft ∧
St Helena has a long tradition of woodcraft, with skills being passed down through the generations. As a result the island has several producers of hand-made wooden souvenirs, many of them made with locally-grown wood and ocasionally even with endemic species{3}, such items naturally attracting a premium price because of their rarity.
One example of a local woodcrafter is Chris Williams.
Chris first learned woodwork at school on St Helena. He studied at the Technical Training Centre in Ladder Hill, learning turning from local craftsmen and the skills of inlay from the late Harold Nichols.
His skills are now so highly regarded that he is regularly commissioned to make special presentation gifts for retiring Governors and Bishops. In 2011 he made an inlay tray which was presented to HR Highness Prince William and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge on the occasion of their wedding.
He only uses local wood from sustainable sources. Each piece is unique.
Chris lives in Blue Hill with his partner and family. His products are available exclusively from the Moonbeams Shop. The coin plaque shown on our page Notes and Coins of St Helena is made by Chris.
Hand-made lace ∧
Another craft with a long tradition on St Helena is lacemaking.
As a craft this was encouraged at the end of the 19th century with the aim of creating an island industry, largely by Emily Jackson{4}. A lacemaking school was opened in 1908. Although the industry did not survive, the skills have been passed down.
Fine examples of lacework can be found for sale on St Helena; some are useful - coasters, bookmarks - and some are purely decorative. Marvel at the intricate work that went into producing them!
To read more go to our Lace Making page.
Other items worthy of note ∧
You can have custom-made souvenirs produced for you, printed with photographs you have taken yourself and carrying your own special messages. Printable objects include t-shirts, mugs, coasters and placemats, bookmarks, key rings and fridge magnets. For a full list go to the Moonbeams Shop website.
Seen a wirebird? You can't take it home, but you can take home an attractive fluffy wirebird chick! Available from the St Helena National Trust and also from the Moonbeams Shop.
How about a Tortoise, made from flax?
You can also buy stamp sets and First Day Covers and presentation commemorative coins from the Post Office in Jamestown.

Foreign Currency ∧
Most shops on St Helena will accept foreign currency for payment, but usually only Sterling, US Dollars, Euro and South African Rand. Sterling is accepted at par (i.e. 1:1) with St Helena Pounds; the rates at which the other currencies are accepted will be based on those published weekly by our local bank, Bank of St Helena. These may differ from rates advertised on websites and from other sources.
Shopping - a different experience ∧
If you're used to shopping in vast 'Malls' filled with flashy modern shops (and exactly the same range of shops as the Mall in the next town) then shopping in St Helena will be quite an experience for you.
Yes, we have some relatively-modern shops, but we also have quite a few of the old traditional ones. The photo (right) shows 'Cyril's Shop', on the left of The Arch in Jamestown (as you face the Seaside). Here you don't wander around with a basket or trolley selecting items to take to the checkout; you ask for what you want and it is fetched for you with loving care!
So don't just shop in the more modern shops - have a bit of an explore!

Article: "No luck in London? Try Jamestown…"
Published in the St Helena Herald, 21st August 2009{6}
We all know that St Helena is a world leader when it comes to shopping. There can be few, if any places on the planet with quite so many shops for the size of population. Perhaps someone should check with the Guinness Book of Records. Maybe it is something to do with Napoleon, who once dismissed England as a nation of shopkeepers… then got sent to Longwood, to wait his turn at the great checkout of life.
But do all those establishments actually sell anything that the discerning customer cannot buy in the world's major commercial centres? The answer is… yes!
A visitor reports that he brought an unusual electrical item to the island, assuming he would be able to pick up the required batteries on his journey through three countries. He was wrong. The swanky duty-free shopping centre at Heathrow Airport, famed for its vastness, had nothing to offer in stores that boasted all the latest high-tech wonders. It was the same at Frankfurt Airport, and in Namibia's most sophisticated tourist resort (no, not Walvis Bay… though no one sold the elusive batteries there either).
But soon after arriving on the island, our visitor had a chance encounter with Tara Thomas, who runs the Rose & Crown shop in downtown Jamestown, the offshore shopping Mecca of the South Atlantic. Tara owned exactly the same extremely obscure electrical item. "That's amazing," said our visitor. "I've got the same thing - but I can't get any batteries."
"No problem," replied Tara. "We sell them in our shop." It took a lot of rummaging around in a drawer, but the said batteries were indeed produced. Our man went away glowing… just like his electrical equipment.
What was this precious item? Well, it was a pair of plastic spheres that now glow in the dark and change colour as they are swung through the air. "I won't say they were indispensible," says our visitor, "but finding the batteries in Jamestown, after failing in London and Frankfurt, was an absolute joy."

Published in the book Speaking Saint by Creative Saint Helena, February 2015{6}{7}
There wasn't a lot of shops in Jamestown like it is today, we bought all the rations from Beatie and Herbie George. The shop use to open early in the morning up until eight o'clock mainly for the lovely fresh baked bread, and then it would open again at nine o'clock till half past five. Everybody trust the rations until the Saturday. Lard, margarine, peanut butter and jam were sold loose, you would take a saucer to put this in, they would weigh the saucer first and then put the margarine, or whatever you were buying, into the saucer after and a piece of grease proof paper was slap on top, and then there were separate cloth bags tied with a string for flour, sugar and rice. People couldn't afford to buy the whole packet of biscuits so it was cut in half, and you bought a half packet and black sauce, Worchestershire, was sold so much per tot. We could never afford the whole bottle. I use to drink the sauce from the tot as I leave the shop to go back to the barracks and then fill it with water from the tap outside of Blanchie's house, but you could never fool Muma and so often I had the lashin for doing so. The black sauce indicated that we were having porpoise curry for dinner.
We all use to pick the flesh out the bread as we were coming from the shop and then if there was a little piece of cheese or chop pork etc. on top of the big piece, that would also be eaten before going home. Rosie John use to make lovely bread sticks and ammonia cakes. If for any reason there was no bread Muma would make salt fritters plastered with jam for tea.
I use to collect all the peelings for Beatie George's goats and she would give me a bag of sweets on a Saturday night, most of which were rancid but we shared them out and ate them, don't ever recall getting sick. These sweets were Sunrise toffees, Cape heather marshmallows, Murray mints, reading sweets saying I love you etc.
I remember when Muma bought her first spring mattress from Kemp Corker. We were so excited it was for her and Dada's bed, and I jump on the bed lovely and springy and having a pen in my hand it stuck up in the roof of my mouth, I had to go to the hospital. I couldn't eat properly for a few days so was lucky to buy ice cream from Lena Marnsa. All the other children said they wish the pen would go up in their jaw then they would get ice cream too.

BBQMoosehead 3 years ago#1
I was a diehard gamer for about 5 years where I would buy a $60 game once a week, sometimes two games a week. It may not seem like a lot at first, but over time it adds up trust me. I will admit, I went through a phase where I was heavily addicted to video games. Speaking from my experience, it is one of the most rotten most depressing undescribable feelings in the world. There were many MANY dark weekends and days that I would spend hours on end playing video games. Thankfully, I was able to get myself out of it, but thinking back, I felt it took a lot longer than it should have taken. I can gaurentee that I would never let myself get into this state ever again.
Well I am in my mid 30s now and have noticed over the past 3 years that my priorities in life have changed and my interest in console gaming has significantly dropped. My game time, my interest, motivation, curiousity has slowly been on a decline over the years. Not saying that Im not into video games anymore, but some times people hit a certain part in their life when they have to evaluate their life and what to invest time into short and long term, what their goals are etc. The big question is, the long term benefits and pay offs.
For example, over the past two years, Ive much more physically active and spend a lot of time in the gym now. The biggest reason for this? Simply put, the long term payoff. You feel better mentally and physically, and also look better mentally and physically. I cant say that video games has anything even remotely close to this kind of payoff long term. Thats why I truely believe now that console gaming is best as a side hobby, not a main one.
There was a point last year where i sat down and thought long and hard over the past 8 years and said .... I didnt realize how much money i spent on gaming over the past 8 years. And what was the payoff or benefit that I had today? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. It didnt make me a better person, or a person with more skills and personal assets that can play a positive role in my life. It didnt give me skills that I could branch off in other areas of life, like work, or self confidence. It didnt make me a better person.
Is anyone else in my shoes? Left console gaming or dont plan on buying a next gen console because either your interests dropped and you have new ones? Or maybe you dont like the direction the industry has been headed. Lets face it, console gaming is an expensive hobby to enjoy. I also do not like the direction the industry has been going with games of prices going up (Canada at least), ridiculous DLC prices, developers gouging us for every nickel and dime.
I will admit, when people ask my what my hobbies are, console gaming is one of them but over the years I would never tell anyone that (especially employers) cause I do still believe that a lot of people look down on people in their mid 30s (like me), who still plays games. As judgemental as that may be, its true.
Lets face it, the quality of games over the years has significantly dropped over the years. Ive learned the hard way. I know friends who I havent talked to in forever because yes, they moved on to other hobbies in life.
I don't think I've come close to spending $15k on games in my whole life. Good for you for cutting back though.

Big deal I have spent approximately 20k in just under 4 years on gaming, 100% of my income after rent goes on gaming.
P.S Food is included in my rent.

Gaming relieves stress, and stress is extremely bad for your health. Many people severely undervalue relaxation time from a health perspective.
It's true that there are other hobbies, including some that are more constructive than gaming. I encourage people to pursue creative endeavors as I feel that this deepens you as a person, but no one can be creative all the time. You need downtime to recharge your creative energies or you'll just burn out.

I doubt you got nothing out of it. Never played any games with your friends or family? Never played any games that inspired you in one way or another? Didn't learn anything about what makes for a compelling experience from playing good games?
For me personally, there's no question that some of what I learned about pacing from playing video games has helped me to become a better writer.

Its not hard. 8 years of XBL memb (even at the discounted price of $40 I always bought at), equals to $320 over the years.

Lucky this generation really sucked and no games could get me addicted like the ones from the PS2/Dreamcast/Xbox/early 2000-PC era
I didn't have to quit or try .. the industry became so bad and so greedy, it was easy to find other things more enjoyable.
There are plenty of studies out there that support the idea that video games strengthen your ability to learn, retain, and execute information. So all that time and money wasn't a 100% purely lost investment.
Hobbies in many forms generally aren't for the benefit of bettering yourself or some type of end benefit/payoff. They are simply entertainment/fun. As long as it doesn't come off as a sacrifice to other things in your life there is nothing wrong with that.
Even if you want to view it in a beneficial way there is positive effects if it relaxes you, relieves stress, brings joy, and gives your brain a workout with hand/eye coordination. In no way am I saying it is a substitute for working out and staying fit but mental health wise it can have benefits as a hobby.
Lastly if you break down the math it's not the shocking number you seem to think. Even at the higher end stated $15,000 if we figure that over 7 years that is $2142 per year or $178 a month or $5.86 a day. Even cheaper if we didn't take the high end figures. This is "worst case scenario"
You stated you had a lot of enjoyment. Countless hours of fun, for under $6 a day. To me gaming is a cheap hobby compared to the hours of entertainment gained.
This is your opinion, and can't be "wrong", many times people change priorities or interests over time. But I don't think regret should necessarily come into play. Again it's fine your personal interests are changing but I wouldn't lament on it, which you can't change anyway.

Most things we do in life are basically wasting time, like people working until they are 60 or 65? Some boring job they hate? Its a wasted life , at least for those hours at work...
But most people dont go after their dreams... Or know how to let money work for them so they can travel....
Its sad.
But its still luxury problems compared to the third world.
You are not supposed to regret what happened, you are supposed to look forward.. But maybe your post can help some of the younger users on here who still think gaming is a skill.

If you enjoyed playing those games then it wasnt a waste of money/time.
Like buying anything else you just need to be smart with your money. Buying 1 or 2 60 dollar games a week is not being smart.

I don't know if this was a racist thing or not.. race wasn't involved but people are saying it was..
My big sister ordered pizza and had my little brother go pay for it while she was in the shower
When they guy got here my brother gave him the money (my brothers like 4"11 and 12, keep this iin mind, if it was me being 16 and 6'2 i dont think he would have said all this,) the guy said
"Hold on im going to count this, and make sure its right"
my brother said ok.
The guy goes
"You're 56 cent short"
my brother goes and finds more change
The guy goes
"You're still 26 cents short, and im not paying for it your pizza"
my brother goes and finds the rest of the change..
the guys on the phone with someone i heard him talking, it was a real quick phone call.
my brother gets back with the change and the exchange is made
then the guy slams our fence door...
was this rude? this has never happened before
honest im scared to eat the pizza
Most Helpful Guy
I love pizza but if that happens to me, I will write a soul crushing review for the restaurant and never order from them again.10|10|0
Really? Because of ONE delivery guy? Lol that's not really a good reason to stop eating from somewhere. Maybe if the store tampered with the food and you got food poisoning or something, then that would make sense

But then again, I can't tell you what to do

VFC (June 2009 - July 2009)
John Octavian made his debut in chat wrestling on the VFC as a heel, interrupting a backstage interview involving then VFC Champion Charles Xavier. Octavian made his debut match, defeating Ryan Ryder by disqualification. The next week, he defeated Brandon X in a singles match. Octavian would immediately be pushed to the main event, where he fought Charles Xavier in an Ironman Match at Unleashed 2009, which he would be unsuccessful. On the July 24th 2009 episode of Warzone, Octavian defeated Xavier in a Falls Count Anywhere Match to win the VFC Championship. However, on the July 27th episode of Shockwave, Xavier defeated Octavian in a Steel Cage match to regain the VFC Championship. After Xavier parted from the brand, Kevin Edwards would award Octavian with the VFC Championship. Octavian would then part ways with the company shortly after.
WCW (November 2009 - Present)
- Octavian would join WCW in late November, in hopes of capturing gold. He would do that eventually, as he defeated Brandon X in a tables match to win the Hardcore Championship. Although, he would later lose it to Shawn Carter. Shawn Carter would part ways with WCW, and Octavian would defeat Joe Jones to win the vacant Hardcore Championship. He would hold this championship for 71 days. On Fury, he would develop a heel persona, becoming a follower to a pure lifestyle. He would insult the fans for being "sinners" and not repenting, and dubbing himself "The Prophet of Purity". On an episode of Intensity, he would burn the Hardcore Championship, and introduce the brand new "Pure" Championship, claiming that the title cannot be defended in an hardcore environment. On the June 5th, 2010 episode of Fury, a 3 - on - 3 elimination tag match between Revolution and the Ministry of Greatness took place, where Octavian last eliminated Joe Jones to become WCW Champion. Octavian would then lose the Pure Championship immediately after to Joe Jones in an impromptu match. At Massacre 2010, Octavian would regain the Pure Championship against Joe Jones in a ladder match. However, he would also lose the WCW Championship to Drew Korr in a Fatal Four Way Steel Cage match including Joe Jones and Shawn Carter.
- Octavian would rekindle his historic feud with rival, Charles Xavier, feuding over Octavian's Pure Championship. At No Escape 2010, Octavian and Xavier would compete in a Steel Cage match, reminiscent of their Steel Cage match in 2009. Octavian would win this match and retain his championship. On July 21st 2010, it was announced Octavian would face Xavier in a 5 Stages of Hell match for the Pure Championship at the first ever Pride and Glory 2010. At Pride and Glory 2010, Octavian would lose this historic match, and afterwards would shake Xavier's hand and celebrate with him, ending the feud. WCW would then go on a hiatus until October.
On October 25th 2010, Octavian returned to WCW as a face, dropping the purity gimmick and taking on the nickname "Paragon of Wrestling", the shining example of a great technical wrestler. He would then instantly engage in a feud with former Revolution teammate Matt Smasher. Smasher would defeat Octavian in a long, brutal match, setting up a rematch at Retribution 2010, ending in a draw. Octavian and Smasher would show respect for each other after the match.
Feud with Drew Korr (2010 - 2011)
On a November 28th episode of Shockwave, Drew Korr viciously attacked John Octavian backstage. The next week, Korr explained that his attack on Octavian was far overdue, and that he held him down and manipulated him for so long. He also said that now he's more dangerous than he has ever been, he'll make Octavian's life a living hell. On a December 11th 2010 episode of Shockwave, Octavian sustained a minor concussion in a match against Drew Korr from a Twisted Brainbuster on the steel steps. He returned 2 weeks later, replacing an injured Matt Smasher in a Pure Champion match at Kingdom Come 2010. He came up short, succumbing to his injury as Korr hit the Twisted Brainbuster for the win. On December 29th 2010, a contract signing was held between Drew Korr and John Octavian on Shockwave, where they would have an Unsanctioned match for the Pure Championship at Inception 2011. John Octavian would lose this match after Drew Korr hit a Twisted Brainbuster on the steel steps. On January 16th 2011 episode of Shockwave, it was announced that Drew Korr and John Octavian would compete in a Hell in a Cell match for the Pure Championship. Drew also added the stipulation that if he lost, he would retire from WCW. At No Escape 2011, John Octavian defeated Drew Korr in a grueling match, winning his fourth Pure Championship and ending Drew's career. After the match, the rivals shook hands and celebrated with also former Reolution member Matt Smasher.
Feud with Matt Smasher (2011)
On the following Shockwave, Octavian announced he would team with his former Revolution member Matt Smaseher to compete against Uprising's Ted Ezekiel and Enak. On February 16th episode of Shockwave, Smasher attacked Octavian during the match, Brogue Kicking him and leaving him helpless to a Tombstone Piledriver by Enak. Smasher explained his actons the following week, saying that Octavian took all of the spotlight for himself in Revolution and used himself an Drew Korr for his own benefit. Octavian lashed back by saying sneak attacks and belittling him wouldn't accomplish anything, and he's the biggest coward of them all. On March 4th episode of Shockwave, it was announced that Smasher and Octavian would compete in a 30 minute Ironman match at Pride and Glory 2011. On March 11th episode of Shockwave, Octavian defeated Jon Morningstar in a Last Man Standing Champion vs. Champion Title Unification match to make the Pure Championship the top championship in WCW. At Pride and Glory 2011, Octavian defeated Smasher by a 7 - 6 win lead by tapping out Smasher with the Dragon Sleeper in the final 20 seconds. On April 2nd episode of Shockwave, Smasher demanded a rematch against Octavian, claiming his win was a "fluke". Smasher got what he wanted, as it was announcedon April 9th episode of Shockwave that they would compete in a 3 Stages of Hell match. Over the next couple of weeks, Smasher and Octavian would compete in singles matches on Shockwave to determine the match types. On April 16th episode of Shockwave, Octavian defeated Smasher to make the first stipulation a Submission Match. On April 23rd episode of Shockwave, Smasher defeated Octavian with interference from Adam McReary to make the second stipulation a Ladder Match. On Apil 30th episode of Shockwave, Octavian defeated Smasher to make the third stipulation a Steel Cage Match. At Retribution 2011, Smasher won the Submission Match, Octavian won the Ladder Match, and the Steel Cage Match was considered a draw as both man's feet touched the floor at the same time. The match was considered a draw and Octavian retained his Pure Championship. On May 8th episode of Shockwave, Smasher demanded one more rematch against Octavian. Octavian accepted, and on May 15th episode of Shockwave, it was announced at Supremacy 2011 that they would compete in a Last Man Standing Match. At Supremacy 2011, after many interferences from Adam McReary, Smasher defeated Octavian to become a 2 - time Pure Champion, ending his 93 day reign.
Heel Turn; Feud with Jaye Sanders (2011)
On the May 31st episode of Shockwave, Octavian lost his rematch to Matt Smasher due to an inadvertent distraction from Jaye Sanders. On the June 7th episode of Shockwave, a one night returning Drew Korr defeated Octavian. After the match, Octavian showed signs of a heel turn by throwing a tantrum in the ring. The next week, during a match between Kevin Edwards and Jaye Sanders for the vacant WCW Championship in a Steel Cage, Octavian attacked Jaye Sanders by throwing the cage door in his face, giving Kevin Edwards the win. On June 21st episode of Shockwave, Octavian teased explaining his actions, but instead just said "New Life". Later that night, Octavian attacked Sanders yet again, TKOing him on the stage during a match with Ted Ezekiel. On July 3rd episode of Shockwave, Jaye Sanders called out Octavian, but instead appeared on the titantron, stating biblical verses on New Life. It was announced later that night that John Octavian would face Jaye Sanders for the first time ever at Unleashed. At Unleashed 2011, Jaye Sanders defeated John Octavian by a victory roll. After the match,Octavian attacked Jaye Sanders, injurying his knee and giving him a minor concussion. On the following Shockwave, Octavian explained his actions on the titantron, saying that Jaye Sanders shouldn't be the role model of the people, and the fans are sinners who do not heed his words and don't repent for their sins. He also said his New Life will be the end of Jaye Sanders's life. The next week, Sanders returned, wanting a rematch against Octavian. Octavian accepted, setting up a match at Vendetta 2011. Octavian defeated Jaye Sanders at Vendetta 2011 by locking in the Dragon Sleeper, making Jaye Sanders pass out. On August 13th episode of Shockwave, it was announced that John Octavian would face Jaye Sanders at Summerbrawl 2011 in a No Disqualification match. Also, Octavian formed an alliance with Matt Smasher and Enak (formely the English Inquisition) to form Triumvirate after attacking Jaye Sanders and the returning Drew Korr. On August 20th episode of Shockwave, Triumvirate (John Octavian and Matt Smasher) defeated Jaye Sanders and Drew Korr. After the match, Octavian did the God's Last Call on Sanders but fell to Drew Korr's Twisted Brainbuster. At Summerbrawl 2011, John Octavian defeated Jaye Sanders with the God's Last Call after Enak interfered. The following Shockwave, Octavian and Sanders fought one last time, but this time for the vacant WCW Championship. Jaye Sanders defeated John Octavian with the Dead Level.

Apple's latest version of Mac OS X, Lion, was released on the App Store today where you can buy it for £25. For most people, this is a really convenient way to buy an operating system, providing you have a fast enough internet connection, as it saves you a trip to the Apple store to buy the boxed version, which can sometimes be a pain if there isn't one near and you have to wait for it to arrive at your home.
For power users though, being restricted to an application for an OS install is somewhat restricting, as it means that you can't install it on to a new hard drive without first installing Snow Leopard. Don't you think that's a bit… backwards? I did, so instead of upgrading I chose to find a way to install it without the need for any application file. Care to know how it's done? Let's check it out!
What you'll need
- A Mac OS X computer
- Mac OS X Lion from the App Store
- A USB flash drive, at least 8GB
Preparing the flash drive
To install Mac OS X from a flash drive, you're first going to have to format the drive and restore it with the installation image from the .app file.
If the drive isn't already formatted, then you can do this with Disk Utility in Mac OS X. Simply insert the flash drive, and select it in the left hand column of the window. With the correct drive selected (you don't want to erase data on the wrong drive, so double check!), navigate to the "Erase" tab in the main window and format the drive as a "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" partition.
Next, you need to restore the image from the Mac OS X Install image you downloaded from the App Store on to the flash drive. You can't simply restore the entire .app file to the drive as it would not be bootable, so instead you need to find a .dmg image inside the file called "installESD.dmg". You can do this by right clicking on the app and selecting "Show package contents" and then running a spotlight search within this folder.
To restore this image, go back to disk utility, and select this .dmg file as the source field. For the destination, drag in the correct USB flash drive partition you just created and let Disk Utility work its magic.
Installing Lion
Once you have your flash drive ready, you have a bootable copy of Mac OS X Lion! To boot into the image, insert the drive into your Mac and boot up the machine whilst holding down the option (alt) key. In addition to your existing partition, you will be able to see the image you just created. Select it from the menu to boot from it.
After booting, you will have four options in a menu. If you want to do a clean install of Lion, you can format your drive using Disk Utility before installing. Otherwise, select 'Reinstall Mac OS X' and follow the prompts.
Using this method, I was able to install Lion on a blank hard drive without having a previous Snow Leopard installation present on my MacBook, but my Sandy Bridge iMac wouldn't allow me to install onto a blank hard drive, so although this may not be a 100% solution, there's a good chance that it could work on your system. Even if you don't want to install Lion from scratch, you can still use the image as a restore disk anyway.

Nokia 808 Pureview reviiew
This is my review of the Nokia 808 Pureview. Bear in mind that I'm the kind of guy who reads manuals as a last resort so any problems I have found might have easy solutions.
But the review is based on real world shooting and use for what it's worth.
I usually use just my LX5 as my travel camera but on this last trip I took along my new Nokia 808 Pureview to put it through it's paces. It's the smartphone most notable for being able to capture 41 mp images. In fact most of those who buy will be seeing it as a camera you can make calls on and to an extent that is correct. As a smartphone, it works, but if you're used to an Iphone or one of the better Android phones it feels like a downgrade. Everything works but it doesn't have the fluidity or stability of the newer phones. Having said that it still acceptable and it does have it's good points too, despite the 4" screen the battery lasts almost 4 days between charges and it has a nice solid build quality, as if being made of kevlar, gorilla glass and spent uranium.
Moving quickly on to the camera part, it has a bright 2,4 Zeiss lens (unfortunately, as is common now, left without physical protection except for tom gorilla glass which of course doesn't stop fingerprints and pocket lint) and the sensitivity can be manually set from 50 – 1600 ISO. If left on auto the camera seems to avoid the two extremes and stay between 64 and 800 which is a bit of a shame because at 1600 the result is positively astonishing for a mobile phone, a slight graininess but comparativly little noise :
this is important because the aperture is fixed so the only way the camera can control the shutter speed and keep it reasonably fast is by sliding the ISO up and down the scale, so in low light you're stuck with high ISO. If you set the ISO yourself you don't get any feedback as to which shutter speed you're getting so you can end up with a very slow shutter speed and movement blur.
Also the longest shutter speed seems to be around 1/8 of a second so the extra ISO stop is very useful in very low light.
What happens at the other end I hear you ask, in very bright light and with a fixed aperture of 2,4?
Can't this lead to overexposure? Cleverly enough the camera has a built in, 2 stop, neutral density filter which can be applied automatically or manually.
When you take the phone out of the box and take a few snaps you will probably be disappointed because the default resolution is optimised for Facebook or Twitter publishing and looks aweful.
In order to unleash the full power of the camera you have to use one of the three "Creative modes" where you can set all the parameters yourself like resolution, format, sharpness, contrast and the like. This way you can have 3 profiles, for example, one where you use the full 41 megapixels in 16:9 format, one where you use format 4:3 and "pixel binning" where the 38 megapixels of the 4:3 format is averaged down to 8 mega pixels which removes most of the noise found in the full resolution shots. (It should be added that for most purposes there is no noticeable difference between the 41 mp and the 8 "binned pixels" except less noise in the latter in low light). And another profile with you favourite effect, say sepia.
There are some other modes like "sports" and "landscape" mode which I assume fall back on the default resolution since one can't modify them.
Among the settings is one to allow the camera to be used even when the phone is locked, by depressing the physical shutter button. Unfortunately the camera falls back on the default setting here as well with no way of changing the settings which is intensely frustrating until you resort to turning it off.
Apart from the fixed aperture you're also stuck with a fixed focal length. When you're using one of the creative modes, using "binning", you can zoom with a 2 finger movement on the display. In order to avoid using the stigmatised "digital zoom" term they call it "in camera zoom". Because there are so many pixels to spare the result is pretty good with just a bit more noise.
Speaking of the display, all setting are changed via the display and there is also a "shutter button" on the display which is useful to avoid camera movement when pressing the physical shutter button.
There was a bit a a learning curve, getting used to the display driven handling, but when I got used to it it was surprisingly fast (and fun). You choose the focus point by tapping on the display and this is important because the large aperture results in a narrow depth of focus and, left to it's own devices, the camera very often misses the point of interest. Even with face recognition activated it seemed to have problems finding focus, especially with several faces.
As a camera it is relatively discreet and fast enough for action and street photography.
All in all a pleasant surprise, although, despite the high resolution and low noise, the images don't seem to "pop" to the same degree as on my old LX5 and need rather more post processing to get the best out of them. Presumably fine tuning of the settings can get them more to my liking although I have sort of got to like the muted natural colours.
A lot of them have a slight "glow" which several times had me looking for some forgotten protective film on the lens or fingerprints, but it seems that it's one of the characteristics one just has to learn to love.
A big drawback is that the camera doesn't offer the choice of raw so your 8 mp binned image is compressed down to a 2 mp jpg which seems unnecessarily harsh. No doubt future apps will offer that option but it's sad that Nokia haven't thought of that after working on it for 5 years.

I have been hanging out with this guy for a few months and we get along great. He obviously likes me because he is always flirting and I catch him staring at me. But why does he not ask me to go out with him? After school finished he did not try to message me or even add me on facebook.
Why do guys not ask a girl out even if they like them?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
One could also ask "Why do girls not ask a guy out even if they like them?". As for guys not asking girls, it's because they fear rejection. Not that they cannot handle the rejection necessarily but, if he asks and she says "No", then the friendship is often ruined. It's a risk many guys are not willing to take.22|00|0
I think if I did ask a guy out then it would be like I was chasing them, then their interest in me would diminish because I was desperate. Call me old fashioned but I think if a guy likes a girl he should have the balls to ask her out and not the other way round.
"I think if I did ask a guy out then it would be like I was chasing them, then their interest in me would diminish because I was desperate.". I feel like this is assumption that girls use as an excuse to not ask guys out. Many guys don't view it as desperate and it doesn't diminish their interest. If you're old fashioned, that's fine but you're assuming he's also old fashioned by expecting him to act that way.
What Girls Said 1

Amarillo honored this fallen hero, by renaming the Amarillo International Airport to the Rick Husband International Airport. Each time a person walks through the terminal they see a statue standing awaiting them with the story of Rick Husband.

We demonstrate two solid-state sources of indistinguishable single photons. High resolution laser spectroscopy and optical microscopy were combined at T=1.4 K to identify individual molecules in two independent microscopes. The Stark effect was exploited to shift the transition frequency of a given molecule and thus obtain single photon sources with perfect spectral overlap. Our experimental arrangement sets the ground for the realization of various quantum interference and information processing experiments.

2012 Westminster Dog Show
February 15, 2012 by staff
2012 Westminster Dog Show, Preamble: Malachy the Pekingese is just like Mitt Romney-only better groomed. He's the presumptive favorite to win the 136th Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show tonight, but this is why we hold competitions. Because you just never know.
During the opening night of Westminster, Malachy (who has 114 Best in Show ribbons but has never won here) was named best in the Toy group, the most competitive category at Westminster, and the sports book at Wynn Las Vegas likes his odds this evening.
Other group winners from last night include the German shepherd Captain Crunch in the Herding group; Cinders, a Wire-Haired Dachshund, in the Hound group; and Spotlights Ruffian, a lovely Dalmatian, in Non-Sporting. (And for those who like rooting underdogs, no Dachshund or Dalmatian has ever been named Best in Show at Westminster.)
But there are more contenders to come tonight, including dogs from the Sporting, Working and Terrier groups. And it's all leading up to Best in Show at the end of the evening, when judge Cindy Vogels will determine who will be America's Dog for 2012.
So pull up your pet and let's watch all the action…
Very Hot Dogs: For those who fear Westminster withdrawal symptoms after tonight's competition, may I recommend Josh Dean's superb new book, Show Dog, which goes inside the world of competitive purebreds. You can read an excerpt about the WKC show here, but for those who like their dog stories on the kinkier side, Dean has a hilarious piece on Deadspin that reveals more about the sex life of champion show dogs than you might have wanted to know. Think of it as a shagging dog story.
The Other Top Dog: While the four sporting groups were competing at Madison Square Garden last night, another canine contest was taking place in Los Angeles-the inaugural Golden Collar Awards, http://news-briefs.ew.com/2012/02/14/the-artists-uggie-takes-home-golden-collar/ presented to the dogs who gave the best performances on the small and big screens.
In the spirit of the big winner's movie, I'll remain silent about who won in the film category-but his name rhymes with "Uggie."
The Sporting Group: And they're letting the dogs out….
Brittany: First up tonight is a brown-and-white Brittany named Cam, who hails from Arkansas. he's got a great smile.

Question: A medical researcher gets a P value of 0 056 for testing
A medical researcher gets a P-value of 0.056 for testing H0: μ = 0 against Ha: μ ≠ 0.

Donner Party
July 20, 2010 by staff
Donner Party:(CNN) – Researchers have made an unexpected discovery among the topics a member of the Donner Party kept in a suitcase on the trip unfortunate group of California: a military document with the writing of Abraham Lincoln in it.
Donner Party member James Reed and his family took the name plates at Lincoln between its precious relics, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum said in a statement released Monday.
A team of librarians, historians and handwriting experts combined forces to confirm that Lincoln had explained one of the documents, which are Lincoln and volunteer soldiers who fought in the Black Hawk War of 1832.
"Often we find documents that detail the fascinating stories about the life of Abraham Lincoln and the times, but it is rare that the document has an intriguing history as having been written," said Daniel Stowell, director of the Abraham Lincoln Papers . "Part of these documents detail the military service of Lincoln and who accompanied the Donner Party in California makes them doubly significant."
The four plates include "Private Abraham Lincoln" from the list of the soldiers. In one of them, experts say two half lines and is clearly written in Lincoln's hand. And the documents show that Lincoln had a value of horse and equipment worth 85 and 15 and, bearing in mind that Lincoln was a tent that was owned by the United States to be returned at the end of their service.
Lincoln wrote the lines, said: "Muster Roll of Captain Jacob M. Earleys Company of Mounted Volunteers gathered outside the United States service by order of Gen. Atkinson U.S. Army on the whitewater rivers of the River Rock July 10, 1832. "
The documents are part of James Frazier Reed Collection at the California State Library.
Reed's name appears just below Lincoln on the list. He was one of the members of the organization of the Donner Party, a group of pioneers known for resorting to cannibalism while enduring a harsh winter in the mountains of Sierra Nevada.
He probably inherited the roles of commander of the military company, and took with him when he left Springfield, Illinois, in April 1846 because they were part of his personal history, the Lincoln Presidential Library said.
While historians believe that the accompanying documents of the Donner Party for the entire trip, Reed did not. He was banished from the group after struggling with a road and stabbed to death Monday's statement said the library.
He left the papers with his wife after being expelled from the party, and "she was easily in her womb to California where the aid of the first relief expedition was to help", daughter of Martha Jane "Patty" Reed recalls.

Please have a look at dominique's earlier post which IMO explains jackrabbit's design quite nicely: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.apache.jackrabbit.devel/1172 the SharedItemStateManager is at the bottom layer and caches ItemState instances read from the PM. this memory-sensitive cache, apart from helping to reduce PM calls, guarantees that there's only *one* ItemState instance for any given id on this layer. this is crucial for jackrabbit's support of isolation levels. caching in the PM would therefore IMO be redundant if not disadvantageous because it would use up (memory) resources that could be used more efficiently by jackrabbit. regarding clustering: clustering is a very interesting topic and we had quite a few discussions on how it could be supported in jackrabbit. clustering can IMO not be entirely delegated to the PM. it has to be tackled on a higher level. the sticking point is how to synchronize the multiple jackrabbit instances in a cluster. there's no easy answer to that and it would certainly require considerable work in jackrabbit's core. as our main priority is getting jackrabbit version 1.0 out clustering support has to wait i'm afraid. cheers stefan > > I'm thinking of a cluster scenario with > jdbc PM + distributed cache + jackrabbit > instead of > any PM + jackrabbit + rmi server + rmi client > > I prefer the first config because there are products that build the > cache on each server and don't pass the cached objects around the cluster. > > It seems I often feel tempted to bad practices :(, so I'd like to know > your opinion before taking a decision. > > thanks in advance > edgar >

Pride and Prejudice is a novel of manners by Jane Austen, first published in 1813. Though Austen set the story at the turn of the 19th century, it retains a fascination for modern readers, continuing near the top of lists of "most loved books." It has become one of the most popular novels in English literature, selling over 20 million copies, and receives considerable attention from literary scholars. Modern interest in the book has resulted in a number of dramatic adaptations and an abundance of novels and stories imitating Austen's memorable characters or themes. (via)
This is the second time I read Pride and Prejudice. Upon this second reading, I found out that I liked this book even more than thought I did. I guess that's what happens with the classics, they only improve with time. So here are some of my favorite quotes:
Vanity and pride are different things, though the words are often used synonymously. A person may be proud without being vain. Pride relates more to our opinion of ourselves; vanity to what we would have others think of us.
"That is exactly the question which I expected you to ask. A lady's imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment. I knew you would be wishing me joy."
I wonder who first discovered the efficacy of poetry in driving away love!" "I have been used to consider poetry as the food of love," said Darcy. "Of a fine, stout, healthy love it may. Everything nourishes what is strong already. But if it be only a slight, thin sort of inclination, I am convinced that one good sonnet will starve it entirely away."
"Nothing is more deceitful," said Darcy, "than the appearance of humility. It is often only carelessness of opinion, and sometimes an indirect boast." "And which of the two do you call my little recent piece of modesty?" "The indirect boast; for you are really proud of your defects in writing, because you consider them as proceeding from a rapidity of thought and carelessness of execution, which, if not estimable, you think at least highly interesting. The power of doing anything with quickness is always much prized by the possessor, and often without any attention to the imperfection of the performance.
There is a stubbornness about me that never can bear to be frightened at the will of others. My courage always rises with every attempt to intimidate me.
Reflection must be reserved for solitary hours: whenever she was alone, she gave way to it as the greatest relief; and not a day went by without a solitary walk, in which she might indulge in all the delight of unpleasant recollections.
Mr. Darcy's letter she was in a fair way of soon knowing by heart. She studied every sentence; and her feelings towards its writer were at times widely different.
But above all, above respect and esteem, there was a motive within her of good-will which could not be overlooked. It was gratitude;—gratitude, not merely for having once loved her, but for loving her still well enough to forgive all the petulance and acrimony of her manner in rejecting him, and all the unjust accusations accompanying her rejection.
She respected, she esteemed, she was grateful to him, she felt a real interest in his welfare; and she only wanted to know how far she wished that welfare to depend upon herself, and how far it would be for the happiness of both that she should employ the power, which her fancy told her she still possessed, of bringing on the renewal of his addresses.
She was convinced that she could have been happy with him, when it was no longer likely they should meet.
Her heart did whisper that he had done it for her.
For herself she was humbled; but she was proud of him,—proud that in a cause of compassion and honour he had been able to get the better of himself.
She was in no humour for conversation with anyone but himself; and to him she had hardly courage to speak.
If he is satisfied with only regretting me, when he might have obtained my affections and hand, I shall soon cease to regret him at all.
Such I was, from eight to eight-and-twenty; and such I might still have been but for you, dearest, loveliest Elizabeth! What do I not owe you! You taught me a lesson, hard indeed at first, but most advantageous. By you, I was properly humbled. I came to you without a doubt of my reception. You showed me how insufficient were all my pretensions to please a woman worthy of being pleased."
My real purpose was to see you, and to judge, if I could, whether I might ever hope to make you love me.

A federal judge last week ruled that the Susana Martinez administration did not violate the rights of the Pueblo of Pojoaque when it instructed gaming vendors to stop doing business with the tribe's two major casinos, Buffalo Thunder and Cities of Gold.
Judge James Browning's opinion, issued Friday, deals yet another blow to the Pueblo
of Pojoaque in its long-running dispute with New Mexico over the state's cut of
casino dollars.
The tribe last year crossed into legal limbo when it refused to sign a new compact that would increase the state's share of gaming revenue. Pojoaque governor Joseph Talachy maintains the proposed agreement would take away crucial funds from social services, utilities and tribal payroll.
After Pojoaque's negotiations with the state crumbled, it used a provision in the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act to negotiate directly with the federal Department of the Interior for a new compact.
New Mexico last year filed a lawsuit against the Interior Department challenging that provision, a case that's awaiting a highly anticipated decision from the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals.
Pojoaque filed suit against the state in 2015 after the state Gaming Control Board sent citations to vendors who continued selling equipment to the tribe, claiming their doing business with non-compacted casinos violated New Mexico law. The tribe argued that action represented "a throw-back to one of the darkest times in the history of the European conquest, when the pueblos were required to pay a tribute tax, whereby the Spanish confiscated the pueblo's maize and other resources."
Judge Browning's ruling reverses a court injunction against the state that prohibited it from sending citations to vendors doing business with Pojoaque.
"The Defendants have taken no direct action towards Pojoaque Pueblo, nor have
they asserted any authority on Pojoaque Pueblo's lands. The Defendants have not
regulated Pojoaque Pueblo; they have only regulated New Mexico licensees,"
Browning wrote.
Matthew Fletcher, a Michigan State law professor who runs Turtle Talk, an authoritative blog on indigenous law, says the ruling sends a strong message. "
"It shows New Mexico can't stop Indian gaming, but they can do anything they want to stop it from making it profitable. They can pinch vendors to try to force tribes to negotiate or capitulate," Fletcher says.
Michael Lonergan, a spokesman for Gov. Martinez, said in a statement, "We agree with the District Court's decision to dismiss Pojoaque's claims. As we've said all along, Pojoaque is operating its casinos in violation of federal law and taking advantage of the smaller gaming tribes that have negotiated in good faith and managed their facilities responsibly."
The tribe has already given notice to appeal and plans to seek an emergency
order to prevent New Mexico from sending more citations that could hurt the
bottom line at Buffalo Thunder and Cities of Gold.
Governor Talachy could be reached for comment.
10/5/16: This story has been updated with comment from Matthew Fletcher and the Martinez administration.
