Eugene McGee: Stop whingeing and childishly blaming opponents for red cards
One of the ironic moments of recent times came in the closing stages on Saturday as Mayo played ring-a-ring-rosie with the ball in front of 80,00 people as they clung desperately to their one-point lead.
Then we heard booing from the Tyrone fans at what was going on. What sprang to mind was the expression, 'the pot calling the kettle black' as I thought of the times Tyrone, and other counties too, engaged in the same carry-on.
What Stephen Rochford's men were doing was legal, and acceptable in the circumstances because had Tyrone nipped in for a goal - an unlikely event given the way their forwards were playing - then this Mayo team would have disintegrated.
But they used their heads, retained possession and suddenly emerged as really genuine Sam Maguire contenders, probably more than in any of the past four seasons.
Tyrone can have no complaints about the result, given that they only managed two points from play in the second half, and only four in the first, whereas Mayo scored nine times from play.
That did not stop Mickey Harte from complaining afterwards, as is the norm nowadays from losing managers, although Donegal's Rory Gallagher was an exception after his side's defeat to Dublin.
This thing of blaming opponents because one of your players is sent off is a childish excuse.
All the great forwards have been targeted by opponents, and it is the same in every other form of football around the world. The vast majority of such players that I have seen accept this as the norm and take counter-action, by being restrained, not matching fire with fire, and if they get the chance punishing the targeters by getting more scores and winning for their team.
Diarmuid Connolly and Sean Cavanagh, two of the best players in the game, did not follow that course of action and rightly paid the penalty. When a veteran like Harte and Dublin manager Jim Gavin (above) start complaining, it rings a bit hollow. That's the reality lads!
The bold decision to place Lee Keegan(below) on Cavanagh must have caught Tyrone on the hop and it was the winning or losing of this game.
In every match this year, especially the Ulster final, Cavanagh was pivotal when his county was in trouble. Not this time, as Keegan - who looked like a terrier chasing a Rottweiler - gave an exhibition of marking, old style.
I have always claimed that even in the modern game, the best players can be marked out of it by a dedicated opponent whose mind is set on that one task.
That is exactly what Keegan did but as a bonus, and what a bonus, he also scored two of the last three Mayo points, including the winner.
But this was no one-man show, and Aidan O'Shea's return to top form was also crucial as he delivered a wonderful all-round performance that set up several scores for colleagues.
O'Shea lost the run of himself somewhat in the Fermanagh game, but he has gradually returned to form and got his mental shape corrected for Saturday's game.
Follow suit
Would that others would follow suit instead of whingeing.Tyrone's reputation is largely based on their heroics of the previous decade and the fact that they won the U-21 All-Ireland last year.
Having watched them four times this year, I stated that while Tyrone have the makings of a top-class team, they do have a long way to go.
In the old days they had leaders all over the field, a much better set of forwards and a steely determination that often undermined better opponents. There was little sign of those qualities this year, and they have some way to go before emulating their former champions.
For Mayo, a gap has now been created into a dream scenario that many had not expected but they cannot be depending on one or two players or a slice of good fortune from here in.
But this was definitely, in the circumstance of the past eight months, one of their best performances in recent years.
Tough game will stand to Dublin
The problems, not of their own making, that Dublin have had this year is that they did not have even one particularly challenging game in league or championship to this point.
As reigning All-Ireland champions it was inevitable that a state of over-confidence would affect at least some of their players and it showed against Donegal at times on Saturday evening.
A bit of carelessness, sporadic outbreaks of personal indiscipline and some untypically wayward passing left Dublin struggling towards the final quarter against a team that is quite clearly well past its sell-by date.
Two players picking up red cards and one getting a black contradict Jim Gavin's long held philosophy of Dublin being an extremely well-disciplined team.
Gavin may, like his Tyrone counterpart Mickey Harte, argue the nebulous point that Diarmuid Connolly is being 'targeted' by opponents but that is nonsense. As stated above the best forwards are always targets for special aggression but the very best always stay on the playing field.
I was disappointed to see the manager giving Connolly a pat on the back as he left the field but then most managers do the same. It is as if the person who commits a foul worthy of being sent off receives the imprimatur from the manager, which seems to condone the offence.
Saturday's result will set the scene for Dublin to be back to their best for the semi-final clash with Kerry. The stakes will be as high as ever because Dublin's numerous wins in the past few years have never included a single two in a row.

Whats going on with these SSD tests
Maybe somebody can offer me an explanation -
I am puzzled !!!!. Look at the results of the benchmarks I got for my OCZ Vertex 2 SSD and my Samsung SSD. The ATTO Benchie clearly shows the OCZ as being much Faster (both read and write) but the CrystalDiskMark shows some different results (OCZ still faster but not by as much ???) - Why the differences ????

"Different benchmarking programs test the drive in different ways. The program we used for our advertised specifications is ATTO.
If you test your drive with a different program it will of course produce different results, which are not really compatible with the results ATTO gives because the program tests using another methodology"
So which test is correct ?????????????? Is either one correct ?????

CEO: Transitioning through change
Transition Task Force, Business Plan, among measures to ensure roadmap for changes ahead
Feb 22, 2017
Heading into the March Board meeting I am confident CRB is well prepared to weather the uncertainty that certainly lies ahead. The approval of the 2017/18 Budget at the February Board meeting was an important plank to have in place.
The newly minted Transition Task Force will meet March 8 to begin sorting out the aftermath of Board changes expected in the new CRB regulation as part of the new MGA.
Looking ahead, the Governance, Priorities & Finance Committee is considering the draft 2017/21 Business Plan at its meeting February 23 with a view to recommending it to the Board in March. This will ensure administrative alignment of activities resulting from changes to the regulation as well as those anticipated as a result of the October municipal elections.
In anticipation of more positive change this year, the Interim Board of the Regional Economic Development Entity continues its engagement across all regional stakeholder groups so that there are no surprises as this process moves forward.
And finally, in order to smooth the transition to the new Edmonton Metropolitan Region Growth Plan, AMC is assisting Municipal Affairs in preparing for a swift Cabinet approval by engaging government stakeholders with information highlighting the Plan's potential and key alignment with provincial outcomes. This began February 8 with a successful meeting between AMC & GPU Task Force representatives and Cabinet Ministers invited by Minister Anderson. Follow up letters and key messages are being sent to all Cabinet members and Regional MLAs.
Minister Anderson has been invited to bring an update to the March Board meeting.

Some sites take much longer to load than others
I'm having an issue on my laptop (Dell Inspiron 1520, Win 7 HP 32-bit, 3G RAM) that has me perplexed. Most sites I go to (such as SF here) load instantly yet other sites (such as newegg.com) take forever to load. I'm not talking about waiting for an image or two to finish loading but the page doesn't even begin to be rendered. The info line at the bottom of the browser window says "transferring data from xxx.com". It can take literally minutes to see the page. Sometimes hitting refresh helps but not always. Often if I select "Open link in a new tab" the page will load instantly, the problem mostly manifests itself when I simply click on a link.
I'm currently using FF 8.0 but I have tried IE 9 as well as the latest version of Chrome but see the same behavior. Other machines on my network don't have the problem.
I've tried clearing temp data, browser cache and history. I don't see anything unusual in my hosts file.
Anybody got any ideas as to why this is happening?

Thanks for the input. I gather there is a lot of animosity regarding personal training.
I started to explore it to learn more. I have taken an anatomy course and am enrolled in two courses this summer.
I really do understand that training individuals is all about individual training. I am doing my internship with a studio that is run by a person who has a doctorate in sports medicine. He has probably forgotten more about this area than I can ever hope to learn.
Anyway, wish me luck. I plan to be a good trainer...not in the business of ripping people off. Just trying to help people achieve their goals in a healthy and safe manner.

I wouldn't call it animosity. Just concern and frustration with the industry at large. I definitely wish you luck and like I said this isn't meant as a personal attack against any one individual. Frankly the good trainers know who they are and are just as disgusted as I am with what is going on out there.

ricks, good luck with everything, I wish you all the best and I'm sure once you've finished your education you can be one of the good ones, its all about wanting to better yourself, and its seems you have the right mentality.
Eric, "If someone tells you your over thinking, that means they dont have an answer." Thats an interesting take, I have to say that one of the trainers I respect most says that all the time on his forum. then again thats to people posting on his forum, not to people paying him for training. If you've ever read through Lyle's forums, you know exactly what I mean.

I don't mean to make an absolute statement. That's why I did try to point out that sometimes people ARE overthinking simple things and dwelling on details. The whole analysis paralysis. Hell, probably 70% or more trainees overthink supplements all the time
But when that becomes a mantra then there is something wrong. There is a difference between carefully considering something and then warning someone that they may be over-analysing things. But when it becomes a stock answer designed to squash anyone's questioning your "methods" I have NO respect for that. If you want to call yourself a trainer you should have a reason for everything you do and be ready and willing to educate. A trainers job is NOT to make someone dependant on them. The best trainers EDUCATE their clients and work themselves out of a job in the sort term...but in the long term they will be sought after.
I think we need to consider each situation individually. If you have respect for someone there is a reason for that and it certainly couldn't be becasue they never have an answer to questions! The fact is and I'm sure you have noticed this, the typical forum guru is just regurgitating but it is not "at their fingertips". The "knowledge" has not been synthesized into an overall training philosophy. The fact is there are very few principles and the best trainers will be repeating the same things over and over and simply refining things and adding to them....organizing their philosophy better and better as they learn more and experience more.
So there is another warning sign to look for. If someone is under the illusion that to appear knowledgable they have to continually say something different about fundamental principles.....
But I am really speaking mostly about training. Sure there are new methods and refinements all the time but the underlying principles really are the same now as they have ever been. So if your "methods" are based on sound principles it should be easy to explain them.
But when I use the term "guru" I am using it in a perjorative and facitious sense sense it is such an overused and bastardized term. There are a lot of trainers and coaches that I respect...but I am not their "disciple".

you know......i just gave a final exam yesterday in this Speech class i am taking called "Persuasion". btw: im taking this class to fulfill my minor in communication management.
anyways, so we study all these theories like social judgement theory, functional attitude theory, learning theory, etc etc...i studies how cult formation occurs, how social campaigns are formed, etc....how great motivators use certain devices while speaking and presenting themself...how hitler was an excellent orator and the like..
well, ive always been a critical person....very much like a cynic. i think this class has taken me one step over the edge now lol...
my point is: after finishing this course (which has probably been the best course i have taken so far) i cant help but laugh at some of these "cult" formations i see going on. hrdgain mentioned discuples of E-Gurus...well...its sort of like a cult formation and if you read those 3 books i had to read (each one was like 300+ pages) then you will notice how text-book like these gurus are. nothing is completely new. i just find it really funnny to see hardcore DC supporters or die hard IA fans or brainwashed westside trainees lol....very interesting to view some of this stuff from a persuasionists viewpoint

The word personal in "personal trainer" carries with it a clear implication that the professional you hire to get you in shape will come up with a program that is specifically designed for you, your body type and your training goals.
In the real world of fitness, however, trainers often get stuck on a "pet program" and start training all their clients the same way usually the way they train themselves. This is hardly a good idea, particularly if your trainer is a professional bodybuilder and you happen to be, say, 92 years old or pregnant.
But even in less egregious circumstances, your trainer's biases can leave you spinning your wheels, or worse, losing ground. Just ask Shannon Entin, the creator of an online fitness information service called FitnessLink. Entin chose her trainer because of her well-defined physique and actually hoped that the trainer would incorporate some of her own training methods into the sessions. But it quickly became clear that the intense, six-day-a-week cardiovascular workouts weren't going to do as much good for the client as they did for the trainer.
"It may have worked for her, but it wore me down," says Entin. "I was starving and exhausted, and I didn't feel good or look any better." When Entin asked for a different regimen, namely one that incorporated more weights, the trainer resisted, telling Entin that she didn't need weights, since she's "a girl."
2. "My favorite sport is sabotage."
Susan Cantwell of New Brunswick, Canada, who serves as a business coach to personal trainers, was giving a lecture on professionalism when a trainer raised his hand. "So, do you think it's wrong that at Christmas time, I give my clients chocolates?" he asked. "Why would you do that?" Cantwell queried. She recalls the following reply: "So they'll gain weight over Christmas and need more training when they come back."
It is true that the best personal trainers work themselves out of a job. It follows that the worst will try to keep you on as a client forever by doing whatever possible to make you feel that you will be lost without them. "They'll say, 'Don't worry, I'm here to help,' or 'I guess you've been bad all week, but I'm here now,'" says Peg Jordan, editor of AFAA's American Fitness magazine and author of "The Fitness Instinct." Doug Joachim, a trainer at New York's Reebok Sports Club, adds that part of the job is making himself so indispensable that the client can't do the exercise regimen on his own. Spoiling clients so they become "dependent," says Joachim, "is how we make our money."
3. "My credentials are worthless."
What does it take to call yourself a personal trainer? Not much, it turns out. In this largely unregulated industry, essentially anyone can claim the title, notes Larry DeLuca, an exercise physiologist and adjunct professor at Lehman College in the Bronx. As part of his graduate research, DeLuca surveyed 247 trainers and found that 20% had no certification whatsoever.
What about those trainers who are certified? Well, even the two most popular certifying organizations inspire little confidence. The course offered by the American Council on Exercise, or ACE, in San Diego, for example, is "one of the easiest," notes Joachim, adding that you could hit the books, ace the written test and still not know how to teach someone to do a proper sit-up. Meanwhile, the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America, or AFAA, offers a three-day course, which DeLuca, who has taught other classes for the organization, describes as a "blitz course" that leads to a "superficial" understanding of biomechanics. "There's a widespread consensus that standards need to change," DeLuca adds.
Tony Ordas, ACE's director of certification, counters that while his organization's exam might be easy for those with experience and formal education, it's actually "very difficult for those who are coming in with a blank slate." And Roscoe Fawcett Jr., executive vice president of the AFAA, responds that the amount of biomechanics taught in his class is sufficient, and that the organization recommends a thorough textbook and additional weight-training certification to round out a trainer's education.
What qualification should you be looking for? Certification by the American College of Sports Medicine, or ACSM.
4. "I'm trying to muscle in on your physical therapist."
In the good old days, personal trainers were for healthy folks while physical therapists were for those recovering from injury or illness. But now that insurance companies (and especially Medicare) have sharply cut back on reimbursement for physical therapy, a lot of people who really need it are turning to personal trainers to do the same job. This crossover is fine with trainers. They're "looking upon previously injured people as a cottage industry," says James Garrick, an orthopedic surgeon in San Francisco. The trouble, notes Garrick, is that many trainers are simply not qualified to handle the injuries. How does Garrick know? Because the patients often end up right back in his office.
The ACE has gone so far as to introduce a "clinical exercise specialist" certification to prepare trainers to work not only with clients who have orthopedic problems, but with those who are coping with health issues such as AIDS, diabetes, cancer and coronary artery disease. Some see it as a health nightmare in the making. DeLuca calls it "one of the most irresponsible things I have ever seen." He adds: "They are putting unqualified [trainers] with people who are too acutely ill, and blurring the line between physical fitness and diagnosis and treatment." The ACE's Ordas says it simply isn't the case: "Any ACE-certified professional is going to be working with individuals who have been cleared for returning to activity by their physician. Clinical exercise specialists are not diagnosing or doing any kind of rehabilitation or therapy."
5. "I don't just feel your pain, I caused it."
Ever wonder if your trainer caused that twinge in your neck? Caliope Makris of Youngstown, Ohio, never thought that her trainer could be responsible for the nagging neck pain that started halfway through her first training session. Even after her pain increased over the next few months as she attended 11 more sessions, and she underwent tests that later indicated four slipped disks, no one thought to question her workout. It wasn't until almost a year after the diagnosis that another trainer mentioned that the problem had probably originated with a leg press machine, which, the trainer added, Makris should never have been allowed to continue to use once her pain had started. She is currently suing her health club for negligence; the case is about to go to trial. The club denies a connection between the exercise and her injury.
Most training injuries aren't acute, so few people think to link their aches and pains to wrong moves their trainer may have made. And those who do make the connection tend to blame themselves, but in fact, any injury you suffer while training is your trainer's responsibility. "[People] say, 'I must've done something wrong,'" says DeLuca. "That may be true if no one's supervising them. But the trainer's job is to manage that."
6. "Your secrets aren't safe with me."
By nature of the fact that your trainer (a) needs to know about your health issues in order to train you safely and (b) is always making small talk with you during your workout, you've probably blabbed about all sorts of things to him including your actual weight and the details of your eating disorder/potential pregnancy/Prozac prescription. In fact, when you signed up for training, you probably filled out a health form. Ever wonder what happened to it?
Your trainer should keep it in a locked file cabinet, but don't assume yours does. Joachim points out that it would be possible for anyone to open an unlocked drawer "right out near the gym floor," browse through his files and find out which of his clients have HIV. (Joachim explains that the cabinet can't be locked because all the trainers need access to it throughout the day.)
Even if your file isn't snatched from a cabinet, the medical information that you share willingly with your trainer isn't sacrosanct. "None of that information has any legal protections for privacy whatsoever," says privacy consultant Robert Gellman. He adds that if you spill your medical secrets to your trainer (or anyone else, for that matter), you're waiving your right to have your doctor keep that same information secret.
7. "This could cost less than you think."
With fees for personal training running as high as $150 an hour, you'd probably love to find a way to make this luxury a little more affordable. Little did you know that all you have to do is ask.
Many trainers, for example, will let you arrange to "share" their services with a spouse or small group of friends, as long as their fitness levels and goals are similar. This "semiprivate" or "group" training could cut $10 to $25 off your hourly rate. While a 1997 survey by the fitness organization IDEA indicated that more than a quarter of all trainers offer such deals, you aren't likely to hear about them from your trainer. "I've been around for a long time, and I've never heard one say you have that option," says Cantwell.
You might also be able to trim your bill by asking to be trained with simple equipment, like free weights, at home or in a local park allowing you to cancel your expensive gym membership. Plus, your trainer might give you a break on his hourly rate, since he won't have to split his income with the health club. Not surprisingly, "a lot of gyms tell trainers not to do that, so a lot of trainers don't bring it up," says Joachim.
8. "Watch out: I'll take your money and run."
Prepaying for personal training sessions is a great motivator, since the idea of getting your money's worth may actually get you off the couch when you least feel like it. ("People are more attached to money than exercise," notes Cantwell.) But it can also turn out to be a terrible deal financially for you and a boon to your trainer, or the club where he or she works.
Some trainers will ask you to sign a contract when you prepay, asking you to commit to, say, six sessions in one month, in exchange for a discounted rate. Not a good idea. "What if in your third session out of 10, the trainer makes a racial comment? [Or] decides not to work at the club anymore?" asks Tracy York, director of the Lake Austin Spa Resort in Texas and co-chair of the ACSM's health and fitness subcommittee. "Is there another trainer there who meets your needs and can you transfer?"
Also check to see what happens if you have sessions left that you really can't use. "Often, you'll see no refund at all," Cantwell says. That's exactly what happened to Ellen Lund, a Simi Valley, Calif., woman who says she badly hurt her neck just three minutes into her very first training session at the local Bally Total Fitness club. Lund asserts she was too hurt to use the remaining 20 sessions for which she had already coughed up $450, and that the health club refused to refund the money. Dave Southern, a spokesman for Bally, says that the company will gladly refund the money if Lund presents a doctor's note.
9. "Don't swallow the pills I'm pushing."
Many trainers supplement their income by selling their clients nutritional supplements: those pills and powders that are supposed to help you lose weight or gain weight or build muscle mass. In fact, a 1997 IDEA study indicated that 15% of all trainers sell supplements. The repercussions can be, well, unpredictable.
Shannon Ames, a human resources manager in Cambridge, Mass., certainly wouldn't have predicted that she'd gain 15 pounds in two months, but that's what happened after her trainer supplied a slew of supplements. A nutritionist later advised her that her weight gain was probably due to the creatine she was taking.
Things went much worse for Anne Marie Capati, a 37-year-old New Yorker who collapsed while doing light squats under her trainer's care at Crunch Fitness. Capati later died of a stroke. Terrence McCartney, the attorney who has brought a $40 million suit on behalf of Capati's family, alleges that her trainer recommended ephedra, which interacted fatally with Capati's blood-pressure medication. The trainer, says McCartney, "was really out of his depth. [Capati] went to the gym because she was concerned about her health, and he recommended a product that increased her blood pressure." A Crunch spokeswoman says that the company can't comment because the case is in litigation.
Bottom line: "It's not the role of the trainer to prescribe this stuff," says Allison Sarubin, author of the American Dietetic Association's Health Professional's Guide to Popular Dietary Supplements.
10. "Sue me! You'll never win."
Remember that contract you signed when you joined your health club? You know, the one with all the fine print? Well, that document most likely contained a "waiver and release" clause that severely limits your ability to take your trainer to court for negligence and most certainly limits your ability to win.
And while the waivers often don't stand up in court, try telling that to Ellen Lund. Lund's trainer had never even asked her to sign a waiver. Nonetheless, when she later sued, the California court found that a clause within the Bally membership agreement (waiving her right to sue for "negligent instruction and supervision") applied to personal training. Explains Lund: "The judge said, 'A contract is a contract is a contract.'" Bally's Dave Southern says simply, "Both a California Superior Court and a state appellate court found that Ms. Lund's case was completely without merit and ruled in Bally Total Fitness's favor."
The idea that it's almost impossible to win a suit against your trainer hasn't been lost on attorneys who have taken these types of cases. Lund's lawyer, for example, vows never again. "Those releases are death," he says. "That's why it's the last case [of this kind] I'll take."
this was classic

Winchendon, MA (PressExposure) October 10, 2007 -- Every year thousands of classrooms nationwide seek to gain a little income for their activities by holding fund raising events. The Gift Haven is poised to be part of the solution with tremendous money making opportunities for classrooms.
The Problem:
Say your classroom has $2500.00 to spend on a fundraising campaign. You go out and buy merchandise to resell to your family and friends; and when its all said and done you didnât make your goal and lost money. That is not fundraising that is fruitless spending. I remember a fundraiser I did in high school, it was selling hoagie sandwiches. I tried and tried to sell these premade sandwiches to everyone I knew but couldnât, well they eventually went bad and I had to pay for the sandwiches I didnât sell. Why couldnât they just ask me for the money and forget the horror of getting rid of these things?
The Solution:
The Gift Haven has an easy solution for the Fund Raising nightmare. We are offering schools a catalog campaign that will generate income for them. Your students go out and sell the items in the catalog, you collect the money, buy the products and have them shipped directly to your customers; or if you like have the students distribute the products directly. They will have fun and moreover make money doing it. Your classroom saves the initial $2500 and gains profits from your product sales.
How to participate:
Go directly to our Fund Raising Page for information you need to have a successful and fun, fundraiser.

ACLU of Oklahoma files open records request for info on OKC Public School proposal to close six district schools
OKLAHOMA CITY – The ACLU of Oklahoma filed today an open records request seeking information on the Oklahoma City Public School proposal to close six district schools. The following is attributable to Brady Henderson, ACLU of Oklahoma Legal Director: "These proposed closures appear to disproportionately impact schools in neighborhoods predominantly of color as well as schools that are major centers for students with disabilities and special needs. Before Oklahoma City's School Board is asked to vote on the proposal on April 6, we must be certain that these closures are not targeting or unnecessarily impacting some of our most vulnerable students.

A study published in the July 5 issue of Circulation suggests that testing relatives of victims of unexplained cardiac death may identify other family members at risk for similar heart-related problems.
The study group was comprised of 333 individuals from 43 families in which at least one member had suffered sudden unexplained cardiac death at age 40 or younger.
Of the 333 relatives tested, 151 (or 8.9 per family) had the same previously undiagnosed yet potentially fatal heart abnormality as their deceased family member.
Based on these unexpectedly high percentages, the researches "strongly advise" first-degree relatives (immediate family) and second-degree relatives (aunts, uncles, and grandparents) of victims of sudden unexplained cardiac death be referred to a cardiologist for testing.
The diseases identified by the researchers are capable of being effectively treated if detected at an early stage and, if treated correctly, are "associated with a virtually normal life expectancy."
The study was conducted at the University of Amsterdam under the leadership of Dr. Arthur A. M. Wilde, a professor of cardiology.

"Apologia" will be playing into November, a wonderful drama experience.It deals with mother child relationships, divorce, and how a woman who is reknown in her field handled it all. I commented on it above. We also enjoyed an excellent pre-theatre dinner at Northall in the Corinthia Hotel, around the corner from the theatre. We used the Tube and got off at the Embankment Station. My brother has tickets for "The Ferryman" next month which sounds very interesting but we decided not to buy tickets for it due to it's length.

Ignore silly analogies with third-rate theatre locations like New York.
The Society of West End Theatre site (http://www.officiallondontheatre.co.uk/london-shows/#/?rows=10&q=&sort=title_for_sorting_sortable%20asc) features about 120 different shows.
The Time Out theatre pages (https://www.timeout.com/london/theatre) give adequate reviews of a slightly wider catchment area, adding up to about 200 stages within 15 miles (or 20 mins by Tube) of P Circus most nights.

Flanner! You're such a theater snob! (Just like me when it comes to the world's BEST theater city, Chicago.)
CarolJ, I can't say I've really enjoyed the big, spectacular musicals in cities outside of NYC (Broadway does it right), but I'm more a dramatic play-person. (Which is, of course, the best in Chicago.)
But if you're looking for plays in London, maybe look at the Donmar Warehouse and the Bush Theater, if anything appeals there. I tend to stay away from the big, long classics, as I tend to be too tired/overstimulated to sit for 2.5-3 hrs in a theater without getting tired or antsy, so I try to find a new work to concentrate on.
Have fun planning!

We were in London in July and we did see The Ferryman, and it is very good. The other plays we saw that I can recommend, which I think are still running, are Queen Anne at the Theatre Royal Haymarket (an RSC production that has transferred), and Road at the Royal Court Theatre (not as dated as I thought it might be).
I agree with checking what's on at the National, Globe, Almeida, Trafalgar Studios, Barbican, Donmar Warehouse, Old Vic, Young Vic, et cetera. I know others are not a fan of standing at the Globe, for various reasons, but we are, not least because of the great price.
I hope you find something that suits, and have a great time in London.

<<Flanner! You're such a theater snob! (Just like me when it comes to the world's BEST theater city, Chicago.)>>
No, Flanner's an anti-American grump. Of course NYC is the premier location for theater in the New World and comparable to or superior to the West End (which often enough gets US-initiated shows that use leads from the Broadway traveling troupes instead of the original Broadway leads). Why do top stars go to Broadway first and the West End second and Chicago rarely? Must be the superiority of the West End and the excellence of Chicago ... in an alternate universe .
But if the OP is still out there - what are your interests? And I wouldn't say no to seeing a "big musical" in London if the only previous show I saw was in "local theater." There's a serious quality gap there. We saw a show in the West End that we'd previously seen as a traveling show from Broadway and the West End experience was great (one real benefit of the West End theatres is that they are relatively small, which leads to better views).

DebitNM, that's what we paid for Apologia too, very good seats. Couldn't believe it as we are used to New York theater prices. . The seats next to us were 35£.
The director sells the seats in the first two rows for 15£ so more people have the opportunity to see it. Nice gesture.We really enjoyed it. Bought our tickets directly from the theater website. Enjoy!

BigRuss, the "big stars" in Broadway are rarely the best stage actors, nor is what is presented in a Broadway house the pinnacle of dramatic work. It is only the most commercially-viable.

With the fast development of nanotechnology, engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) will inevitably be introduced into the environment. Increasing studies showed the toxicity of various ENMs, which raises concerns over their fate and transport in the environment. This review focuses on advances in the research on environmental transport and fate of ENMs. Aggregation and suspension behaviors of ENMs determining their fate and transport in aqueous environment are discussed, with emphasis on the influencing factors, including natural colloids, natural organic matter, pH, and ionic strength. Studies on the transport of ENMs in porous media and its influencing factors are reviewed, and transformation and organism cleansing, as two fate routes of ENMs in the environment, are addressed. Future research directions and outlook in the environmental transport and fate of ENMs are also presented.Please view the pdf by using the Full Text (PDF) link under 'View' to the left.

In an example of the community service ethos modern policing demands, the three stakeholders worked together to develop an adaptive re-use strategy that retains the Edwardian Neo-Classical building – characterized by tall orange brick walls with ashlar limestone belt courses, window and door surrounds – and pairs it with a contemporary addition. The result is a cost-effective, sustainable and community-focused law enforcement facility.
A transparent link between the new and old provides the public entrance lobby and access to the main reception desk and community room, situated in the former school's library. The old school hosts public meetings and open houses, while police train in refurbished classrooms. The new addition, which slides behind the heritage building, handles the more demanding security needs of modern policing.
By working alongside residents, Stantec was able to design a building that police needed and residents wanted in their community.

MeeFog Humidifier Installation
MeeFog High Pressure Humidification System For The Two Main Air Handlers
- Reduced Energy Consumption
- Lower Maintenance Costs
- Tighter Control
- Improved IAQ
Founded in 1859, Valparaiso University is known for its outstanding liberal arts, education and professional programs.
With a 310-acre campus that is home to nearly 4,000 students from most states in the nation and more than 40 countries around the globe, Valpo University in on a path to grow to 7-8000 students over the next few years. With this growth in mind, the decision to build a new library facility to serve the expanding student base was made.
KJWW Engineering was selected as the engineering designer for the new facility. KJWW immediately started looking for ways to design an energy efficient facility that would serve the university's needs for years to come. Because the facility houses the University's collection of reference materials and extensive book collections, controlling the building environment in an energy efficient way became important. To preserve the collections, temperature and humidity control was important, and doing so in a budget friendly way was even more important.
KJWW called upon MeeFog to assist them in designing a humidification system that would provide the humidity control they desired in an energy efficient manner. The building has two custom air handlers, rated at 55,000 cfm and operating on VAV economizer cycles. The units are served by a single high pressure MeeFog pump that provides 1000 psi water to the nozzle headers via staging solenoids. The system is controlled by the building control system and system status is available campus wide.
Each unit has a maximum load of approximately 400 #/hr. The load is matched by using staging solenoids that bring on nozzle headers in various combinations. Excess moisture that is not absorbed into the air stream is collected on droplet filters and drained away. The total electrical load for this system is 2.25 kW.
Annual energy savings, as compared to gas fired steam generating humidifiers, is in excess of $40,000, with a further reduction of $3,000 in annual maintenance costs.
Case Studies
MeeFog™ Humidification System Provides the Humidity Control Facility Managers Desire in An Energy Efficient Manner
An important factor in the preservation of reference materials and extensive book collections is the ability to stabilize the surrounding environment. Fluctuations in temperature and humidity caused by external factors are a problem for libraries and may have a damaging effect. This fluctuation (specifically low RH) accelerates the deterioration process.
Mee Industries helps combat these potentially harmful dry and low humidity levels by applying a process called adiabatic humidification (pure water). This process continuously monitors and controls the amount of humidity introduced into the air while helping maintain the overall temperature.
Savings in running costs and low maintenance routines means that a MeeFog system will typically pay for itself within one year.

Unanswered: Documenting old Solid DB
At a client site, there is an old release of Solid (2.3 iirc) that needs to be looked at, as in upgraded or migrated to something else. However, the client has no documentation regarding the schema of the DB and before deciding what to do with it I need to find some way to properly document it. I would like a good DB diagram to start with if possible.
I installed the Solid ODBC driver that the client has with that release and tried to have Visio reverse engineer the schema to develop a diagram but that crapped out on me. Is there any other way that any one knows about to document and produce a diagram of this database?

"A recipe for an almost-white bread, attempting to approximate the bread eaten by the well-to-do commoner in the High Middle Ages. The very well-off and royalty would have eaten manchet bread, which was very similar to white breads of today. The malt syrup helps mimic the flavor of ale barm, which was the commonest form of yeast. The wheat germ and whole wheat flour mimic the not-quite-fine texture of the less-expensive flours. (The ice cube treatment is definitely not period, but helps ensure a shatteringly crisp crust.)"
Period-Style Almost-White Bread
0 recipe photos
READY IN:2hrs 30mins
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups water
- 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons lard
- 1 (7 g) packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
- 1⁄4 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon malt syrup
- 1 teaspoon table salt
- 1⁄4-1⁄3 cup flaked wheat germ
- 3⁄4 cup stone ground whole wheat flour
- 5 -6 cups bread flour
- 1⁄2 cup ice cube
- Put 2 tbsp butter into 2 c water. Microwave until butter melts. Set aside until it cools to lukewarm.
- Combine yeast, 1/4 c warm water and malt syrup. Set aside until bubbly, 5-10 minutes.
- Add yeast to water and butter. Stir in salt, wheat germ and whole wheat flour. Add bread flour until you have a soft, cohesive dough. Knead thoroughly (at least 300 strokes), until springy and satiny. Place in an oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and set in a moderately warm place until doubled in size, 60-90 minutes.
- Punch dough down, turn out of bowl, and knead 10-15 times. Shape into 20 rolls, 8 small loaves or 4 large loaves. Place on greased baking sheets. Cover with towels and let rise again, about 45 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 425°F with an empty baking sheet or roasting pan in the bottom of the oven.
- When risen, place breads in oven, pour ice cubes into hot pan, and quickly close the door. Bake rolls 12-15 minutes, loaves 20-30 minutes -- until crusty, brown, and hollow-sounding when the underside is thumped. If you have a small instant read thermometer, the interior temperature should be 205-210°F when done.

Bollywood, just like us, had a great holiday season. Now as we return to a working Monday, it's customary to reflect on the holiday season fashion. Bollywood divas were a true delight this season. Shimmer, bling and sequin, topped their fashion list.
While many left for vacationing abroad, a few of them were spotted sporting a partywears. We have handpicked our favourites: Malaika Arora Khan, Jacqueline and Karisma Kapoor -- all of these divas looked drop dead gorgeous and gave us enough reasons to write this article.
Starting with Malaika... The model picked a black seamless floor-length gown. Malaika is known for having a collection of these and we admire that immensely. She picked this one from the label Avaro Figlio. The gown looked ravishing on Malaika. What's your take on this look?
Moving on to Jacqueline, who was seen in a printed flirty dress on Christmas. A plunging neck white dress that was featured with colourful leaves was quite the pick for holiday season.
Next came, The Kapoor girl who rocked this season in a glittery grey shirt dress. She paired the look with silver shimmery shoes. Well, that's classy!

The pinnacle of Contact Lens Wear, Vision & Comfort.
Corneoscleral contact lenses provide the visual benefits of GP lenses with the comfort and ease of handling of soft contact lenses. This combination makes them one of the fastest growing products in the contact lens world. Patients with astigmatism can now have crisp stable vision with their exact prescription in a lens that can be worn during water based activities and contact sports. Unlike corneal GPs where comfort adaption is needed Corneoscleral lenses are as comfortable as soft contacts from the moment they are placed on the eye.
Corneoscleral Parameters
- BOZR: 6.90mm – 8.50mm (0.1 steps) - Toric Central Zone available (when ΔK > 0.3mm)
- Peripheral Zone: ±4 step increments - Toric Scleral Zone available
- Designs: Back surface, spherical or toric, Front surface bi-toric and F/S toric
- Power: +20.00DS, -30.00DS, ±7.00DC
- Diameter: 14.50mm
- Material: Boston XO (100Dk)
- Mode: Daily wear, annual replacement
Corneoscleral Lens Fitting
Corneoscleral Lens fitting is very simple and more similar to soft lens fitting but with the added advantage that a fitting pattern can be assessed with the slit lamp. Watch our Corneoscleral Lens Fitting Guide to learn more. For eyes with less than 1.50D of corneal astigmatism using a fitting set is the most efficient way to get optimum fit and vision. For eyes with more than 1.50D of corneal astigmatism lenses will be supplied empirically from Ks and Rx. For patients with keratoconus there is a K Corneoscleral geometry fitting set.

The burned-out remains of a huge truck and an expensive excavator loomed above a Kenmore construction site Wednesday, evidence of the latest...
The burned-out remains of a huge truck and an expensive excavator loomed above a Kenmore construction site Wednesday, evidence of the latest in a string of arsons that have destroyed hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of equipment in the area in the past month.
Investigators say they don't know if the arsons are related, but all involve fires set in the cabs of heavy equipment at residential construction sites.
"They certainly could be related," said Capt. Denise Langford of the Bothell Police Department. "There are obvious similarities."
The fires began in late November at locations within about five miles of each other in the Bothell and Kenmore areas.

In the latest incident, a trackhoe — or excavator — and an oversized off-road dump truck called a Moby were set on fire at a construction site at Northeast 200th Street and 76th Avenue Northeast, just north of downtown Kenmore, about 8:45 p.m. Tuesday.
"The cabs were burned up," said Jim Torpin, deputy chief for operations for the Northshore Fire Department. But, he added, "There's nothing to indicate they're related, other than they're similar."
Torpin said damage was estimated at $180,000 in the Tuesday blaze and that the fires are among incidents that have destroyed seven pieces of construction equipment since Thanksgiving.
The earlier blazes took place Nov. 25 in the 19700 block of the Bothell-Everett Highway, and Nov. 29 at a construction site in the 23300 block of Fitzgerald Road in the Bothell section of Snohomish County, just east of Interstate 405 in the Canyon Park area.
Torpin said investigators are considering possibilities that include everything from vandalism to an individual or group opposed to this type of development, in investigating the blazes, but there are no obvious clues. Investigators also haven't discovered anything indicating the fires are related to recent arrests in Oregon of people suspected of environmental sabotage in setting fires at places including the University of Washington.
Contractors are concerned about the incidents.
"It's expensive," said John Thomas, a consultant with Bobby Wolford Trucking, which owned a month-old excavator destroyed in the Kenmore fires.
He estimated the loss in the Kenmore fires at several hundred-thousand dollars, noting the excavator — or power shovel — sells for about $140,000 and a used Moxy 35-ton haul truck, with tires about 6 feet tall, like the one damaged Tuesday, is worth about $50,000.
Besides that, he said, there are added costs, including down time while work is interrupted, the expense of removing and replacing the equipment and renting replacement gear.
At the arson site along the Bothell-Everett Highway, Timber Bliss, project manager for Summit General Construction, estimated the destruction of equipment there at about $100,000.
Two of his trackhoes burned in November are still on the site; he hasn't been able to arrange to have them moved, and he has had to rent equipment to replace them.
Bliss also noted there are similarities in the arsons, including that they all occurred about 8 p.m.
"They all take place around a certain time of the evening," he said. "People go inside then to watch TV and have dinner, but it's not so late it's conspicuous for someone to be at a job site.
"Terrorists is what they are," he said. "It's methodically thought through."
Each fire has been set at a residential construction site, with the Kenmore fires taking place on a 15-acre tract where work started about three weeks ago. The Bothell-Everett Highway blaze was at a project where work started in October on a 50-lot development where homes will sell for $500,000 or more. The Fitzgerald Road work is a smaller development near several technology-company sites along I-405.
The fires are under investigation by several agencies, including the Bothell Police and Fire departments and the King County fire-investigation unit of the Department of Development and Environmental Services.
Anyone with information about the fires is asked to call 911. A reward of up to $10,000 is offered through a statewide arson hotline at 800-55-ARSON for information leading to the arrest and conviction of suspects in the blazes.

The Abdullah Quilliam Society
We are a small dedicated team whose aim is to restore the First Mosque in England situated at Brougham Terrace, Liverpool. The Mosque was founded by a Victorian English convert to Islam: Abdullah Quilliam in 1887. Did you know that for almost one hundred years this building was used as Liverpool Records of marriages and Births. The staff who worked there used to refer to it as 'The Little Mosque' totally unaware that it was the first mosque in England and its historical value. It is our intention is to reveal the fascinating history behind the mosque, the man: Abdullah Quillam, his aims, ideals and continuing legacy…
The man, ideals and legacy
William Henry Quilliam, a local Liverpool solicitor and resident embraced Islam in 1887 (aged 31), after returning from a visit to Morocco, and took on the name Abdullah. He claimed that he was the first native Englishman to embrace Islam. His conversion led to a remarkable story of the growth of Islam in Victorian Britain. This history is now beginning to emerge and has important lessons for Muslims in Britain and around the world…About Abdullah Quilliam »
When some years ago I first renounced Christianity and embraced Islam, I found that I was looked upon as a species of monomaniac, and if I endeavoured to induce people to discuss the respective merits of the two religions; I was either laughed at or insulted.
Fanatics and Fanaticism - Abdullah Quilliam - 1890
Restoring Victorian features
Our recent endeavour is to restore the original features of the mosque. We have built a purpose built workshop and hired skilled craftsmen to undertake this painstaking task. Were you aware that to restore and replace a Victorian cornice costs about £2500 per room. The Georgian window frames cost around £2000 per window to fully restore and replace them to their original state…
8-10 Brougham Terrace, Liverpool, L6 1AE

Friends of Abdullah Quilliam
Receive regular updates about whats going on at the historic mosque…
We will create a visitor centre where Muslims and non-Muslims can come to see this historic site and learn about Islam and Muslim history in the UK and Europe.
