text: In the first half of Grey's Anatomy's two-part Season Two finale, Christina (Sandra Oh) is placed in charge of the ER just as several tense situations reach the crisis stage. It looks as if heart-transplant candidate Denny (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) won't survive the night unless George (T.R. Knight) acts quickly; Derek races against time to safe the life of gunshot victim Burke; and Webber (James Pickens Jr.) tries to make a dying girl's dream come true--a particularly poignant moment, in that the girl is his own niece. And on the romantic scene, Callie (Sara Ramirez) demands to know how George really feels about her, while Derek and Addison (Kate Walsh) reach yet another crossroads. In keeping with the "ensemble" feel of this busy episode, the offscreen narration, traditionally the responsibility of Meredith (Ellen Pompeo), is handled by virtually everyone in the cast! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Can I see that dusty old bottle in the back there, sir?
Even though I live in Silicon Valley I have not found a good website or listing of local liquor stores with a good selection of scotch. About the best I have found is through YELP. This has lead me to stop at every liquor store along the way to see what each one has to offer. This search has resulted in some interesting discoveries. I was at one "hole in the wall" where one would only expect to find low grade beer and liquor but when one steps in the impression changes immediately. This store was having a **** on Laphroaig 10 for $40. I by chance grabbed a bottle on the back of the self and when I went to the register it rang up at $30 (they had to knock the dust off to read the price).
This left me with the realization that many of the drive liquor stores don't rotate their stock or update their price list for the higher end Scotches because most of the clientele are buying something else. This has encouraged me to freely ask the attendant to get out the step ladder and pull down that "old dusty bottle in the back of the rack" with some nice finds. Since then, I have found a Macallan 18 for $120. The biggest surprise find was a vintage bottle of Macallan 18 distilled in 1966 and bottled in 1985. The price for the bottle was significantly less than the current market value. When I got home and checked the value on the Internet I was quite shocked at the prices I found. In short, I encourage anyone with an interest in scotch but that wants to keep as much money in their pocket as possible to venture out of their comfort zone and go to those dive liquor stores (but probably during daylight hours). Scotty |
What a great first post, and very helpful indeed. I'll be looking for sure, although in hopes of similar finds I've only been able to find things I had no interest in, or were overpriced so far.
It should be noted that when one goes in to such a store one should either have enough cash or enough room on the credit card to make some big purchases. The shop where I found the Macallan 18 for $120 also had the Macallan 15 at $50. I went back a few hours later to get a bottle or two or three and the price had increased by $30. I've learned that the shop owners pick up when they have something underpriced and are quick to make the changes.
Scotty |
I found a bottle of 25yr Glenfarclas for a really great price at a small shop a couple weeks ago at a "dive". It had quite a bit of 'dust' on the bottle.
I also have found many extinct vintages of Glenrothes at small shops around town. |

hpThe Making of Harry Potter
I can't get enough of Harry Potter! We were fortunate to be in London, England just as the studios where the Harry Potter movies were filmed were opened as a tourist attraction. The Warner Brothers Studio Tour: The Making of Harry Potter is an easy short day trip from London.
Leavesden Studios are in a huge warehouse. The prepurchased tickets are for a timed entry, which prevents overcrowding. You can buy them online at http://www.wbstudiotour.co.uk
Transportation from London to Leavesden took 1 1/2 hours, and it was easy to find our way. First we took the subway to Euston Train Station, where I bought a pasty to set the mood, and then we took a train to Watford Junction. It's easy to spot the direct connecting bus when you leave the station as it's a double decker covered in photos from the movie.
As you wait for your timed entry, you can take a peek in the cupboard under the stairs. After a short movie and guided tour of the Great Hall, visitors wander at their own pace through the sets. This allows a chance to wonder at the incredible thought and detail that were put into the set. It was lovely to have the time to reflect on the detail that flashed by on the screen, such as Dolores Umbridge's jewelry or the painted portraits.
The major sets are there, such as the Gryffindor Common Room, Dumbledore's Office, and the Night Bus. You learn interesting tidbits, like that the boys' beds were made for them at the beginning of the series, so by the end of the filming, the actors' legs would stretch way over the ends. I loved the Weasley's house interior with its crooked walls and furniture. There were knitting needles magically stitching a sweater and if you waved a wand, the knife would chop carrots. You can walk down the Diagon Alley set towards the Weasley's joke shop.
There's a lineup to buy a photoshopped picture of yourself flying on a broom and snacks in the courtyard half way through. Otherwise, the timed tickets make sure that the sets are not overcrowded. Other highlights include a section on special effects, displays of costumes, and a display cabinet full of paper props, like O.W.L exams.
There is one last beautiful surprise at the end before you hit that gift shop packed with Chocolate Frogs, Every Flavour Bertie Botts and Fizzing Whizbees. We lingered for 3 hours.
Until you get to London, you will want to read Harry Potter Page to Screen : the Complete Filmmaking Journey. It's a huge book on the making of the movies. The library also has the Harry Potter stories read by the incomparable Jim Dale in the Overdrive collection. You can download them to your iPod to listen to while you clean your house, a compensation for the absence of Mrs. Weasley's housecleaning magic!

Phenotypic association between energy balance indicators and reproductive performance in primiparous Holstein cows
- G. E. Valergakis, DVM, PhD,

- G. Banos, DVM, PhD
- Department of Animal Production, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, PO Box 393, 542 24 Thessaloniki, Greece
- E-mail for correspondence geval{at}vet.auth.gr
Energy balance was assessed during the first 13 weeks postpartum in 497 primiparous Holstein cows and the relationship with reproductive performance was investigated. A significant association was observed between body condition score (BCS) and a number of reproductive traits, including conception at first artificial insemination (AI), number of inseminations per conception, calving to conception and calving intervals, percentage pregnant by the end of a 305-day lactation and incidence of metritis. The BCS from calving to week 9 (before the first AI) appeared to adequately predict future reproductive performance as it was correlated with calving interval, conception at first AI, metritis and percentage pregnant by the end of a 305-day lactation. Plasma β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB) concentrations were correlated with the latter trait only, whereas non-esterified fatty acid concentrations were not associated with reproductive performance.

Mr. Yasunori Aoki(Former MOU Internship student, NII) awarded the First Prize in the AC.CES poster competition
26 March 15:30-17:00, Lecture room 2001
Automated image annotation can be seen as a special case of piggy-back retrieval, but assigning meaningful text snippets to images, scenes or objects in them, has far wider uses. We will discuss algorithms such as non-parametric density estimation and label transfer, and study how co-occurrence and semantic world knowledge might be able to improve image annotation.
23 April 13:30-15:00, Lecture room 2001
23 April 15:30-17:00, lecture room 2001
These two lectures are dedicated to the paradigm of content-based retrieval, where the query consists of a media excerpts and the returned media are expected to be similar in nature to the query. There are a number of difficulties to overcome in this approach. Unlike the near-duplicate example, it is not at all the case that the query is a slightly different representation of a known item in the database. "Similarity in nature" is a vague concept. For example, an image of a red toy Ferrari as query may well be expected to match a video of a black Cooper Mini as both represent cars. As such content-based retrieval needs to overcome both the challenges of polysemy (that a media excerpt as query can have many meanings), the semantic gap (that we already know from the lecture on automated image annotation) and scalability. I do not have a general solution for these challenges. Instead, both lectures will cover technical details of the best current practice for content-based retrieval. Through this we will come to an understanding where content-based retrieval is eminently useful and what its limitations are. We will analyse popular features and distance measures for visual content-based retrieval and their interplay. In particular, we will cover colour histograms, statistical moments, ways to turn texture into feature vectors, and shape encodings, as well as how to retain spatial information in the feature representation. Amongst the geometric, statistical and probabilistic distances we will see that the choice of distance measure matters, particularly so for high-dimensional spaces, and work out recommendations for an appropriate choice. We will study the most important practical considerations when building content-based retrieval systems: the choice of features, distances, their respective standardisation, fusion of feature spaces and query results, and the perils of high-dimensional indexing brought about by the curse of dimensionality.
7 May 13:30-15:00, Lecture room 2004&2005
How can we measure the effectiveness of multimedia retrieval systems? TREC, TRECVid, ImageCLEF and similar evaluation workshops have long been fora of communities that try to model and assess retrieval tasks in a laboratory setting. The lecture gives examples of typical annual cycles of these evaluation workshops, and discusses a few typical tasks that try to capture particular aspects of retrieval quality.
We discuss important metrics that quantify the retrieval effectiveness of result lists returned by the search engine. These are precision, recall and derived measures. The lecture covers how image annotation systems differ in their evaluation need, and I develop and demonstrate alternative measures for their effectiveness.
7 May 15:30-17:00, Lecture room 2004&2005
Search is only one aspect of multimedia retrieval. Even if the challenges of the preceding lectures in this series were all solved and if the automated methods we discussed so far enabled a retrieval process with high precision and high recall, it would still be vital to present the retrieval results in a way so that the users can quickly decide to which degree those items are relevant to them. In this lecture we examine a few paradigms of information visualisation, relevance feedback methods for visual search, browsing and, in particular, the relevance of geography to multimedia information retrieval.

David Perron a Scoring Chance Machine vs. Boston
Jonathan Willis
December 12 2013 10:51PM
Despite the 4-2 loss, the Edmonton Oilers had an okay game against Boston, with "okay" here meaning a combination of dreadful for one period and excellent for two. David Perron, who scored both of Edmonton's goals, was a little north of that mark.
Jason Gregor
December 12 2013 12:33PM
The Boston Bruins are not only good on the ice; their marketing team is pretty solid off the ice as well. The Bruins have produced some humourous commercials the past five seasons, and this is one or my favourites. The Oilers aren't a divisional rival, but many Bruins fans have told me they have a healthy disdain for the Oilers due to two Stanley Cup Finals losses in 1988 and 1990.
The Bruins and Oilers are at opposite ends of the NHL standings, and have been since 2007/2008, and the Oilers will need to play their one of their best games of the season tonight, just to keep it close.
Where Does Devan Dubnyk Belong in the Oilers' Pantheon of Goalies?
Jonathan Willis
December 12 2013 08:56AM
With the advances in goaltending over the last three decades, it can be difficult to evaluate across eras. But it's possible, by comparing each player to the league average at the time, to approximate how Devan Dubnyk stands up to Grant Fuhr and Bill Ranford and Tommy Salo and all the rest.
Robin Brownlee
December 11 2013 09:49PM
It's easy to dismiss the 7-3-1 record the Edmonton Oilers have strung together in their last 11 games because there's no question this has been a soft stretch in the schedule – assuming you can say there's such a thing as soft when you're talking about a team sitting 14th in the Western Conference.
While I'm not of the mind to shrug off this stretch completely, even with the last win coming by way of a 5-4 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes in a game that turned into a nail-biter when it shouldn't have, I'm not putting too much stock in what we've seen, either.
December 11 2013 05:04PM
There's a lot of talk about young Sam Gagner these days, some troubling moments in the defensive zone married to sluggish offense have many wondering about his future as an Oiler. Should there be concern?

Orlando Area and Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report 12/8/12
Upcoming Events- Space Coast Birding and Wildlife Festival, January 23-28, 2013
Monday, quite a beautiful day, found me paddling the Ocean Kayak on the Banana River Lagoon in the no motor zone, hoping to find big redfish and black drum. Six hours of paddling later I had found none. There was no seagrass at all. It was hard finding the spots- without the grass there was no frame of reference.
I saw three or four redfish and maybe thirty trout in two schools. Tossing a gurgler around where the trout were seen netted two strikes, both of which were missed.
There is no reason for me to go back there for a while.
Thursday Tammy Wilson and I went out on the Mosquito Lagoon in the Mitzi. The weather was really nice, very little wind. Lots of clouds at first gave way to mostly sunny skies.
At the first spot there were quite a few redfish. They were quite nervous and didn't want us near them. Tammy cast a streamer fly at some of them and got two nice fish, both seatrout. They apparently were swimming with the reds.
The fish did not hang around very long, so we went looking in some other places. As could be expected, some were barren and some were fairly fishy. We did not get another fish, though.
We were off the water by 3:00 PM.
Friday Dr. George Yarko joined me for some Mosquito Lagoon fishing. We started off boating by Braille, using the compass to find the spot in the fog, glasses all wet, unable to see. We did find it. There were fish there. We could only see them when they moved, pushing up a wake. They would not let us into casting range.
While poling out of there a redfish tailed in front of the boat. It was one of many fish that were there. Dr. George got one on a DOA CAL jerkbait, nice work on his part.
We couldn't find any more fish at that spot so went to one other. It was good. George got four out-of-slot redfish and a 26 inch seatrout using cut bait, a solid hour of catching there.
When I went to load the pictures of the previous two days fishing into my computer I opened the camera to remove the memory card and it wasn't in there. It was still in the card reader from the previous use. Well DUH! No photos.
And that is this week's exciting version of the Orlando Area and Mosquito Lagoon Fishing Report.
Life is great and I love my work!
Life is short. Go Fishing!

Recipe by kevin
"My wife and I came up with this recipe on a whim. It has since become one of our family's favorite recipes. I feel I must warn you though, once you make this for your family you will likely be making it again and again. Enjoy! Whatever green peppers you decide to use, make sure they are at least 6 inches long and 3 inches wide. "
Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning mix
1 cup water
4 large Anaheim chile peppers
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 cup diced onion
3 tablespoons chopped garlic
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons hot chili powder
4 cups chicken broth
1/2 (1 ounce) square bittersweet chocolate, chopped
8 ounces shredded Monterey Jack cheese
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
This was fantastic - the taste of the sauce was incredible. The only issue I had was that the sauce did not thicken up past a watery consistency for me. I had to use 2 tbsp of corn starch mixed with 2 tbsp of water, stirred in slowly, to get it to thicken up. Just a heads up that you may want to have some corn starch on hand before you make this!
Alright, I totally played around with this recipe which is most likely great on it's own. My rendition: I braised chicken in chicken stock with my own mixture of hispanic seasonings (added brasing liquid to sauce). I used Poblano chili peppers, although I roast em, then remove seeds/skins. Also, I omitted the crm cheese & used Pepper jack cheese in chicken filling mix. Instead of using all that chili powder in sauce; I used 1tblsp + 1 tblsp of cumin and a small can of salsa verde. Only used 2C of chicken stock as sauce quantity seemed excessive. I had dry cocoa powder so used 1/4 tsp of that. Used immersion blender to puree the sauce after it simmered for awhile. My twist - stuffed peppers & then wrapped in softened corn tortillas. I baked in oven like enchiladas (lightly sauced with Chihauhau cheese on top. OMG, I mean, OMG! Cool way to overhaul your typical chicken enchiladas if you want to try it. Sorry for messing with the original post but...I wanted to play with this one.

Just great! Easy to make and hard to forget, you will want this again and again. The peppers I found were about 6 inches and that would have made 6 rather than the stated 4 peppers. The recipe makes quite a bit of sauce so if you also find smaller peppers I would half the sauce. And that sauce!!! Just delicious. Next time I will cut down the pepper a little as I used red chili pepper and I could tell my guests thought it a little too hot. One other thing, I found the recipe a little confusing about the amount of chocolate, but I used 2 squares of Ghiradelli b/s choc which was 1 ounce and it was absolutely perfect. Will make this again soon, thanks for a wonderul addition to the Mexican collection, Kevin!
I only had green bell peppers that needed to be used, but all of the rest of the ingredients. I cooked some rice, mixed it with a little bit of the mole sauce recipe, tossed with the chicken and cheeses, stuffed the peppers. Baked, then poured the sauce over top. Served with black beans. MMM
Loved all the flavors. Fresh and lighter than restaurant food. Made a ton of sauce! Surprised how mild the Anaheims are...smokey flavor with a little kick. Served with refried beans with meltled cheddar cheese. Yum!!
Outstanding! I never in a million years would have thought I could make authentic Mexican, but it turned out really good. I was reluctant to add the chocolate, so I tried it without first. Let me tell you, the chocolate makes the sauce. It does not taste like chocolate, just authentic mole sauce. I will use this recipe again. The flavors blended beautifully with spanish rice and cheese dip and chips.
Kids loved the chicken and peppers. Enchilada sauce was time consuming and not necessary. Easy directions to follow.
Loved this recipe! My husband thought it could be a little spicier LOL but I loved it. The only problem I had was finding nice size Anaheim chili peppers. I did have left over stuffing because my Anaheims were smaller so I did stuff two smaller red bell peppers from my garden as well. The red bell peppers were good but the Anaheim had that extra flavor/spice. I wouldn't change a thing except add a little black or red pepper for my husband. I didn't find the sauce to be to runny like others - I think you just have to have the patience to let it thicken properly. Anyway - we loved it!

This will be my tenth and final blog post describing reasonable expectations as they pertain to delivery of veterinary care (parts one through nine can be found at www.speakingforspot.com/blog). This time, however, the tables will be turned- rather than describing what is reasonable for you to expect of your veterinarian, I am going to discuss what is reasonable for your veterinarian to expect of you! [More]
So why in the world would I invite my clients to whip out their cell phones during the course of an office visit? Because I want to see video of my patients' symptoms! [More]
Whether you are independently wealthy, barely making ends meet, or somewhere in between, know that it is perfectly reasonable to request a written cost estimate from your veterinarian before services are provided. [More]
It is important to be tuned in to your pet's needs at any age, but vital when she becomes a senior citizen. . . .A good way to remember the special needs of your older dog is to use the acronym L.O.V.E. That stands for Listen With Your Heart; Observe For Changes; Visit the Veterinarian; and Enrich The Environment. [More]
Veterinarians wear many different hats when they are in the exam room. It's a given they provide medical care for their patients. But did you realize that, for their clients they often assume the role of social worker, calendar planner, grief counselor, and even mediator when there are conflicting opinions between family members (mostly spouses)?

text: PublicationsInternational Activity Report 2011BangladeshThere are acute medical needs in Bangladesh, and Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is working in a range of contexts, treating people who would not otherwise have access to medical services. In Fulbaria, north of the capital Dhaka, MSF runs a kala azar treatment center with the Ministry of Health. Kala azar (visceral leishmaniasis) is transmitted by a sandfly that lives in the cracks of mud houses. After malaria, it is the second-biggest parasitic killer worldwide. Women and children are particularly vulnerable to the disease, which, if left untreated, is fatal. In 2011, MSF treated more than 1,700 patients for kala azar and related illnesses in Fulbaria using liposomal amphotericin B, the treatment it introduced in 2010. This drug is safer and more effective than earlier drugs, which were highly toxic and needed to be taken for longer. Treatment time has been reduced to just three days over a five-day period, and patients no longer have to be hospitalized. In 2011, over 99 percent of patients treated for kala azar by MSF were cured. Despite a high prevalence of the disease in the area, not many people are aware of kala azar. An outreach team works in the community to identify patients with the disease and refer them for treatment. The team teaches people about the symptoms of the disease and how it is transmitted, informs them about treatment options and carries out health education activities. MSF also provides an extra level of quality control and supervision within the Ministry of Health vector control program, reporting findings to the head of the kala azar elimination program. SalmaMy name is Salma. I live in Kamrangirchar together with my mother and my two small daughters. I have to work to support them all, because my husband left me for another woman. I work on a building site, where I carry bricks, bags of cement, climb stairs. The men there swear and threaten to hit me if I don't work hard. It is very difficult for me, but I have to do it—where else will the money come from? Every few days, I suffer from pains, feel feverish, catch colds, and I also get sores and ulcers on my limbs. I was unable to produce breastmilk, and therefore my youngest baby became very thin and sick. Now MSF is looking after her in many ways, and makes sure she is properly nourished. They come and check up on the baby and also give me advice on how to cook good food. I am very happy for this. Healthcare in the capitalDhaka, Bangladesh's capital, is one of the most densely populated cities in the world. Thousands of informal settlements have sprung up as socioeconomic and environmental pressures bring people from rural areas to the city. Most residents of these settlements lack access to good-quality health services. In Kamrangirchar, home to nearly 400,000 people, MSF runs two basic health centers offering free maternal and pediatric care, and focusing particularly on treating severe malnutrition. Staff conducted approximately 28,000 consultations and admitted more than 900 children and 580 pregnant or breastfeeding women to the nutrition program. Many patients were suffering from diarrhea and skin infections, often a direct result of poor water quality and unhygienic living conditions. MSF also responded to a measles outbreak in Kamrangirchar. Improving access to healthcareIn Cox's Bazar, one of the poorest districts of Bangladesh, thousands of Rohingya who have fled Myanmar remain unregistered and are considered illegal immigrants. Many are living in and around the makeshift camp of Kutupalong. In Kutupalong clinic, MSF treated over 55,000 patients in 2011, both Rohingya from the camp and local Bangladeshis. Staff provided basic outpatient and inpatient care, maternity services, family planning, vaccinations and mental healthcare. The team carried out a nutritional survey and found high rates of malnutrition among the Rohingya. From January to September, staff admitted 440 malnourished children suffering from medical complications to the clinic. In addition to medical activities, MSF lobbied for improved living conditions for the stateless Rohingya people. At the end of 2011, MSF had 323 staff in Bangladesh. MSF has been working in the country since 1985. |

Short for Resource Description Framework. RDF is a general framework for describing a Web site's metadata, or the information about the information on the site. It provides interoperability between applications that exchange machine-understandable information on the Web. RDF details information such as a site's sitemap, the dates of when updates were made, keywords that search engines look for and the Web page's intellectual property rights.
Developed under the guidance of the World Wide Web Consortium, RDF was designed to allow developers to build search engines that rely on the metadata and to allow Internet users to share Web site information more readily. RDF relies on XML as an interchange syntax, creating an ontology system for the exchange of information on the Web.

Here is my obligatory Thread/Letter about Ponies. Of course as you know, I am the most loved member of spam, and if anyone says else, they are just telling a lie, a big old boner inducing lie. But aside from strange fetishes the members of spam have. *cough* Turt*cough*(When I think of it, he really more of a ex-member now.) I will like to inform you that the slow, and vital take over by the pony over lords is going pretty fine. Anyone who doesn't like it tends to leave, and new members are easier to convert, then Slimes are to murder. So with that I leave you with this last bit of information, spam has been slowing down, and with that I do not know how long the few last stragglers will oppressive us, but I will assure you they will fall......QUICKLY!

Mixed Media 3-D Floral Sash
Style G21873
This item is available in stores and online.*
Gorgeous floral accents paired with decorative beading ensure an absolutely beautiful result with this sash.
Pearls, crystals, sequins, bugle beads and/or rhinestones that create patterns on a simple background for added sparkle. Used in various widths, lengths and fabrics, ribbons and bows are popular additions to bridal and special occasion fashions. A smooth fabric often used in bridal gown design because of its exquisite drape. |
Mixed Media 3-D Floral Sash Style G21873
So much better in person!
This sash is so much more beautiful than the picture they have! The picture of it seems like the flowers are small and don't span the sash very far (which they actually do!) There is also some bling in the center of the white flower, which can't be seen in their picture, but you kind of can in mine. You can also get a better feel for the coloring of it in my picture, like the other reviewer said the colors aren't drastically different, they are similar (but still slightly different).
July 16, 2013
I bought this sash after already purchasing a different one. This one is very beautiful and will compliment almost any dress. The only difference I noticed is that the flowers are not different shades of beige as it shows; they are all the same lighter beige. Fine by me! It is still way better than a previous purchased. I would highly recommend buying it if you fell in love with it online.

36,000 drivers in county clock up penalty points
10:00am Saturday 28th September 2013 in News By Pete Hughes, Reporter. Call me on 01865 425431
ONE out of every 11 drivers in Oxfordshire has penalty points on their licence.
More than 36,000 motorists have points, new figures show – with 903 of them having nine or more points.
Watlington has the highest proportion of drivers caught flouting the law, almost 15 per cent.
Banbury conversely has the best behaved, with only 7.02 per cent of its drivers having any endorsements on their licence.
On average, 8.07 per cent of drivers in Oxford – the OX1, 2, 3 and 4 postcodes – have points.
Wantage and it surrounding area has the highest proportion of drivers on the knife-edge of losing their licence by having nine or more points.
Overall, 9.07 per cent of the county's total number of drivers have points, which works out to about one in 11 people.
It is marginally above the national average of 8.9 per cent, and far below some of the worst driving areas in the UK.
Glasgow tops the list, with 14.5 per cent of drivers with points on their licences.
At the other end, Lerwick, in Shetland, has the fewest, with just 4 per cent.
The statistics, which come from Government data, have been gathered by national cycling charity CTC.
Chris Peck, of the CTC, said: "Oxford itself has relatively low levels of penalty points.
"The national average is 8.9 per cent.
"The lower levels in Oxford may reflect the fact that although lots of people may live there with a driver's licences, car use is relatively low and people who drive less have a lower risk of being caught while speeding or breaking the law."
Road safety campaigner Ted Dewan, who campaigned for 20mph limits across Oxford, said he was surprised that the city's figures were not higher, but said countryside roads were much faster.
"I wouldn't say Oxford has a speeding problem," he said.
"I am always amazed at how fast you can drive on A roads in the countryside."
CTC officials believe that the discrepancy between areas is mainly due to differing levels of traffic policing in different areas.
Thames Valley Police chief inspector of the Joint Roads Policy Unit, Henry Parsons, said: "Roads policing officers are tasked specifically to areas where there are casualty hotspots or community concerns raised about driving-related issues."

Florida Representative Clay Ford died on March 18 at 74, leaving not only a vacant seat but a legacy of public service.
Before moving to Florida in the 1980s, Ford was active in his home-state of Arkansas. Ford served in the Arkansas House as a representative from 1975-1976; he served on the Arkansas Pulaski County Special School District Board from 1977-1979; and was a delegate for the Arkansas Constitutional Convention from 1978-1979.
"I've been thinking about when he first came on the scene in Gulf Breeze and started getting involved in city government," said Ed Gray, III, former Gulf Breeze mayor. "We didn't know if he was somebody to be suspect in coming from Arkansas, or if he would be a statesman. He was definitely a statesman."

Ronna (Sarah Polley) is a down-on-her-luck checkout girl who is sweet talked into taking an extra shift from her friend Simon (Desmond Askew) so he can go to Las Vegas. Ronna is then approached by two good-looking actors, Adam (Scott Wolf) and Zack (Jay Mohr), who want to buy drugs. Ronna, who needs money, plans to act as a go-between between the actors and a dealer friend of Simon's, Todd (Timothy Olyphant), until a cop named Burke (William Fichtner) enters the picture. Meanwhile, Simon is living it up in Vegas; in the course of a very wild night on the town, he manages to bed two women, accidentally steal a car with his good friend Marcus (Taye Diggs), and get thrown out of the best strip club in town, with more than a few people after him, especially when he leaves behind a credit card he borrowed from Todd. Once again back at the supermarket, Adam and Zack turn out to not be quite what they seemed, and their relationship with Burke and his wife Irene (Jane Krakowski) takes an unexpected turn as their evening becomes very, very complicated. Go, Liman's long-awaited follow-up to his indie hit Swingers, received its World Premiere at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Price: | $14.99 |
Choose a Retailer Below
In The Memory Jar, part of the Seven Brides for Seven Bachelors series, we visit a small Amish community in West Kootenai, Montana, where for the past ten years, Sarah Shelter has been passed over by the young Amish men that arrive there each year. A tragedy has closed her heart … until she meets Jathan Schrock.
ePub, Reflowable$8.99
Every year, 30–40 young Amish men descend on the cozy little town of West Kootenai, Montana, arriving in the spring to live there for six months and receive "resident" status for the hunting season in the fall. They arrive as bachelors, but go home with brides!
Sarah Shelter has lived in West Kootenai for the last ten years and wonders if she will ever fall in love. Since the tragic death of her best friend, she carries her memories in a jar along with the small items connected to them. For just as long, she's also been carrying around her emotions instead of allowing them to penetrate deep into her heart.
Now she's met a kind and gentle man who may be able to break down the wall. But can Sarah risk her heart to finally achieve her dreams?

Ray Kelly (born Dublin on December 29, 1976) was an Irish soccer player during the 1990s and early 21st century.
Kelly was a striker who began his career at Manchester City F.C., but made only one first team appearance, against Huddersfield Town on 7 November 1997. Kelly also played for Wrexham on loan from City.
He returned to Ireland in December 1998 to play for Bohemians. Kelly excelled during Bohs FAI Cup campaign in 2000 scoring 5 goals as they reached the final, losing in a replay to Shelbourne. Soon after this, Kelly shockingly retired to become an airline pilot.

Limited Uses, not strong signalPros: It works if it is connected via ethernet to your router so very limited. Cons: It is a major step back from the Linksys WAP54G that had four modes, including Repeater mode that allowed you to connect to your router wirelessly, and thus be an Access Point that covered your whole house. Made the mistake that this Access Point could be configured in that manner. Signal is about half as strong as Linksys new router models like the 4200v2 or EA4500. Other Thoughts: This Access Point needs to be upgraded by Linksys to match the power of their new routers, and it also needs to work wirelessly for it to be beneficial to most users. The literature is not great and the fact that it needs to be connected to your router by Ethernet is not immediately apparent -- especially if you owned the Linksys WAP54G. Did you find this review helpful? |
Firmware BugPros: Easy to config. Cons: Bought to install at a customers location, and found that it won't pass DHCP packets when encryption is enabled. Only applied to a windows SBS server situation. Did you find this review helpful? |
terriblePros: none Cons: Buggy - does not pass through DHCP from W2K3 server - known bug - you have to run with no encryption or WEP - not a solution - no fix from Cisco - do NOT recommend and am returning. Oh and I am MCSE and 20 year network veteran. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
DO NOT BUYPros: nothing good to say. Cons: This access point is horrible. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Not good for resuming wifiPros: I install computer networks for a living. I normally don't install this brand, but had to in a pinch and so I bought two at staples down the street from the client's house. MacBooks can stream to Apple TV. Cons: Configuring took longer than expected due to having to run the CD wizard (or you can log into your router to see which IP was issued). I updated the firmware, setup security, took about 30 minutes each access point. When MacBooks resume from sleep, you need to allow almost 2 minutes before attempting to connect to the web. I'll be dropping to G-mode only to see if this helps. Other Thoughts: These are not cheap access points, but for the trouble I've went through, I feel sorry for any normal user having to set these up. Did you find this review helpful? |
Not worth the moneyPros: None found. Cons: Does NOT work on a 10.0.0.x network! Don't even try. Signal strength was very poor. Barely covered my customer's office. Other Thoughts: Linksys failed on this one, I will be returning and using the e2000 as a WAP. Did you find this review helpful? |
Please do not buyPros: Small and no annoying blinking lights. Cons: Setup wizard tried to control too much and does not give enough options. Signal is weak in both 2.4 and 5GHz bands. Even after trying to tweak the different settings in the WebUI reception was still poor. Disconnects happen frequently. This product is way over priced. Other Thoughts: There is really no reason to buy this product as you can get the same quality for 1/4 of the price from other vendors. Did you find this review helpful? |
Works GreatPros: Easy to set up. Small footprint. Cons: Have to use the CD to setup the AP the first time. Other Thoughts: Works great. Have two of these in my house so now I can roam throughout with great wireless activity. I have one of these for over a year and got the second one yesterday. I have never had the first device reboot. Has been a great device. Would highly recommend. Did you find this review helpful? |
Died after 2 minutes of usePros: I can't say much positive at this point, since it died after 2 minutes of use... Cons: I jacked this thing into my network and was at the web config page in no time. Half way through configuring the AP, it timed out while saving settings. I looked up and saw that there were no LEDs lit on the AP. I unplugged it, plugged it back in and it work for another minute, then just powered off and wouldn't come back on. I plugged the AC adapter into several different power outlets and tries the reset feature, all to no avail. Other Thoughts: I RMA'ed the AP, hoping that I'm just really unlucky... 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Shame on LinksysPros: None Cons: This device is not simultaneous dual band - you can only run 2.4 or 5 ghz, not both at the same time. The device disconnects and/or reboots under load. You can not assign Class C static IP address for the device in 10.0.0.0 range. Some wireless G and N clients cannot connect to AP with WPA/WPA2 security enabled, even though they connect OK when AP is set up with no wireless security. Many wireless clients connect OK but cannot receive a IP address via DHCP from network. Setting a static IP for wireless clients is not always an option. Other Thoughts: Check the Linksys support forums for backup to what I've written in the Cons area. The last firmware update for this device is almost 1 year ago. Linksys support is useless for this device. Complaints posted to the Linksys support forums are apt to be quickly moderated if you complain about their lack of support for this device.

This image struck me in a way I couldn't quite pinpoint, but my fellow editor, James Cheng put it well, "It's a very simple image, and the sky makes it." We then attempted to compare it to elements of Norman Rockwell and Edward Hopper, with Dali's sky. I suppose the takeaway is that photographer Darrin Lupi has given us a very cleanly composed, pleasant and painterly image of a quiet winter walk.

Fees |
FOR ACADEMIC YEAR 2013/14 Due to the ongoing support of the Kingham Hill Trust, our fees remain very competitive for the size of school and the individual attention given to each child. Fee Structure
* Weekly boarding is from Sunday night to Friday morning only. ** ESOL provision included. *** Flexi-boarding is only open to day pupils who were on the school roll during the Trinity Term 2009 and guarantees a bed for a maximum of three nights per week in their previously affiliated boarding house. Pupils who average over three nights per week averaged over a month will be subsequently charged at the full boarding rate. Flexi-boarding pupils who wish to stay on a Friday night must have previously booked for attending Saturday activities for which there is an additional charge. Fees, discounts, charges and conditions of payment will be reviewed annually in March by the Board of Governors to coincide with the start of the school year. The above fees include Pupil's Personal Accident Insurance and the school's calendar. Payment InformationFees are due contractually by the first day of each term.The above Direct Debit Monthly Fees include a discount of £35 per term. The discount is ONLY allowed if payment is made by Direct Debit. Monthly Direct Debits are collected on the first banking day each month. Each term having Fees collected by four equal instalments, with Extras collected additionally in the first month of each term. The School also offers termly Direct Debit collection on the first day of each term for which a discount of £50 is applied. Direct Debit is the preferred payment method for a growing number of our parents and guardians. If you wish to pay by Direct Debit from a UK bank account, and do not currently do so, please contact the Bursary. A flat Late Payment Surcharge of £250 per term for Boarders and £150 per term for Day Pupils on the outstanding balance will be applied promptly for late or non-payment. The School can, as an alternative to termly billing, issue a Fee Bill for a full School Year; should a parent or guardian wish for such an invoice, notice must be received in the Bursary by 15th July. Fee Bills for the full School Year include an additional discount of 2.0% on the core fee in recognition of annual payment in advance. Annual payments must be received and cleared before the commencement of the School Year to attract the discount. Please note that parents or guardians who wish to pay by credit card will be charged 2.5% of the transaction value (this is the charge made by the school's bankers). There is no charge for payment by a UK debit card. ExtrasSaturday Activities are for all pupils boarding on a Friday night and for Day pupils wishing to participate and who have previously booked. There is a fee of £36 per Saturday (this is included within the Full Boarding Fee) which will be added to pupil bills. This fee will include any transport costs, packed lunches and admission charges but not pocket money. Spaces for those not on full boarding will be subject to availability. Pupils staying over an Exeat weekend will be charged an additional £280 to cover the supervision and activities provided. Extras such as private music lessons, theatre trips, outings, etc. are invoiced in arrears. These can be typically £200 to £300 per term. In addition, the initial cost of a uniform for a 12 year old is approximately £400. Uniform items can be purchased from the School's Clothing Store. Extras will be invoiced termly in arrears. The School can, through Houseparents, make cash advances to pupils; there is currently a charge of 10% for this service. Day Pupils who stay at School 'overnight' will be charged at the rate of £40 per night and all nights are subject to availability. Day Pupils wishing to stay on a Friday night must have previously booked to participate in Saturday Activities, for which there is an additional charge. Parents or Guardians sending pupils to the School from overseas with non-EU passports must ensure that the correct child student visa has been obtained before they come to the School. The school is registered with the Home Office (UK Border Agency – Licence Number WX29R1X0X) and as such will issue a Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS) once all conditions required by the School have been met. Any additional charges incurred by the Parents or Guardians in obtaining a Child Student visa are not the responsibility of the School. Deposits, Other Fees, and Additional ChargesThere is a registration fee of £75 (non-returnable) and a deposit of £700 for Boarders and £500 for Day Pupils which is non-returnable should an enrolled pupil not join the School. (Pupils whose normal residence is outside the UK are required to pay £10,000 as a deposit. The equivalent of the UK deposit will be retained by the school should an enrolled pupil not join the School). Deposits are retained by the School and repaid less the clearance of all outstanding items after the pupil's final departure. If a parent or Guardian is experiencing difficulty in meeting their financial obligations to the school they should contact the Bursary at the earliest opportunity. Parents and Guardians are respectfully reminded that Bursaries and scholarships are awarded on the understanding that their account with the School is maintained inside agreed terms. Should a Direct Debit or Cheque be refused by the nominated or issuing bank, through no fault of the School, all discounts will be revoked and a surcharge of £30 will be added to figure owing. The outstanding debt will become due immediately. The Board of Governors through the Headmaster will be made aware of all accounts that are subject to late payment surcharges. The Headmaster has the right to exclude a pupil from School for the non-payment of fees. |

How much does Saudi Arabia hate women? So much so that 15 girls died in a school fire in Mecca in 2002, after "morality police" barred them from fleeing the burning building — and kept firefighters from rescuing them — because the girls were not wearing headscarves and cloaks required in public. And nothing happened. No one was put on trial. Parents were silenced.

Nam Tai Joins $1B Club, But Will It Stay There? |
It's flown way under the radar but Nam Tai just became the newest member of the EMS $1 billion club, joining 13 other companies (not including the major Taiwanese ODMs like Quanta, Wistron and Compal). The company crossed the threshold thanks to a spectacular fourth quarter in which sales jumped more than 250% year-over-year. Nam Tai, which ranked 22d on the CIRCUITS ASSEMBLY Top 50 in 2011, will certainly move into the Top 15 when all the 2012 list comes out in April. Nam Tai's fourth quarter sales alone would be enough to place the company in the top 30. What drove the upswing? The company finally saw its investments in LCD modules for smartphones and tablets pay off.It was also boosted by sales of LCDs to the automotive industry, particularly US OEMs. But can this last? Nam Tai has invested heavily in capacity in southern China, and has another 1.2 million sq. ft. "parcel" of land that it plans to develop -- twice the amount of its present Shenzhen campus. This is all the more amazing because Nam Tai's two existing factories are capable of about $150 million in revenue per month each, meaning its current capacity utilization is around 30%. Yet its stated operating margins are a healthy 8.2% and the gross margin as a percent of net sales was 10.5% for the quarter. Chairman Ming Kown Koo humbly suggests Nam Tai was "lucky" to see gross margins top 10% last quarter, but thinks they will stabilize around 6% to 7% in the coming quarters, even though the company plans to hire 43% more staff -- 3,000 workers -- this year. This is a story worth watching. Either Nam Tai will push forward into the next EMS tiers, or it will come crashing down, another victim of over-expansion and unpredictable end-markets. |
