Bristol Street in Malmesbury will be closed for up to four weeks in April while sewer renovation work is carried out.
Wiltshire Council has confirmed the road will close in both directions between Bremhilham Road and West Street to allow Wessex Water to carry out the work during the Easter school holidays.
Arrangements are expected to be in place for residents' access, but all other traffic will be diverted.
The full town council meeting on Tuesday voted that a diversionary route be set up through Acton Turville.
Councillors requested that Wiltshire Council considers using a crossing attendant at Corn Gastons if work is carried out during school hours.

Yes, it's trivial. Once the attacker is on the WLAN, they can easy attack any device on the WLAN/LAN, including the router. As to how, they could:
- Try the defaults username/password. Most users never change these.
- Grab the password via a sniffer.
- Grab SNMP private data via a sniffer.
- Brute force the router's logon.

Sadly, the list of companies announcing they will force their pork suppliers to move away from sow gestation stalls continues to grow longer.
These companies are playing follow the leader and unfortunately the leader is the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). Amazingly somehow HSUS has been able to convince these companies that they are the "experts" on animal welfare while the real experts are being ignored.
Dr. Janeen Salak-Johnson, associate professor of stress physiology and animal well being at the University of Illinois, said last week on AgriTalk that these decisions are not based on science. She points out that HSUS is bullying these companies to make changes not based on current science and that it is unethical to ask some producers to make the change to group housing systems.
Still the announcements keep coming. Why? First, it gets HSUS off their backs (for the time being) and it sounds good to an uninformed public. They seem to figure that not enough people even know what a gestation stall is so they won't question why a change is being made or who is behind it. Dr. Salak-Johnson said the only time she was asked by one of these companies about this was AFTER they had made the decision to change.
As is so often the case these days, facts are not driving the debate. Instead of making some adjustments to the gestation stall system, companies will try to force pork producers to make complete and costly changes to their production systems and not make things better for the animals. So who benefits the most? HSUS. Each announcement makes them money at the expense of producers and consumers. Each announcement allows HSUS to tout their growing influence while raising more contributions.
Meanwhile pork producers either go out of business or suffer financial setbacks and consumers will pay more for pork products. It's a win/win for HSUS and their vegan agenda. I wish the pork industry had been able to explain better to the public why gestation stall systems are used to protect the animals from each other and assure them the proper amount of food.
That still needs to be done but unfortunately the sow may already be out of the barn.

My Column: The Jokes the Internet Killed in 2013
I made a dumb Shelby Miller joke in the comments to my last article about MVP voting biases. It wasn't my first. It was probably my last, but either way, I feel worse about it because it piggybacked off another dumb tired joke.
To which a helpful commenter named "buckgunn" replied:
I'm not sure either, though my guess is that we just ran out of other jokes. They were all dead.
And I was glad I got called out. That joke is dead too. We killed it, just like we kill every other joke that starts out funny, and even some that don't start out funny.
It's nobody's singular fault; rather it's the product of the redundant network of writers whom we all read and whose Twitter accounts that we all follow. There just isn't an original thought anymore, even if it's the first time you've said it. And if you'll allow me to double down on generalizations, not only do we all follow the same people, but those people often have the same views of what's right in baseball and what's poke-able.
And that's how you end up with the rest of the jokes that the baseball internet has beaten to death in 2013, which afterward might just teach us a little bit about ourselves.
Those gritty Diamondbacks
Brian McCann as the fun police
Joey Votto aggressiveness jokes
Robot umps now
The James Shields-Wil Myers switches
Robinson Cano's 99 problems
The montage of other jokes that suffered their deaths in 2013:
None of these jokes, may they rest in peace, died in vain if they were able to improve the lives of those still among the living. Their legacy is in what they teach us about ourselves, the joke tellers.
For one thing—and I think this will always be true every year from now on—we think we're smarter than those in charge, so they're easy targets. That's the theme of #TWTW, robot umps now, and to some extent, laughing at the Shields/Myers trade (where the "we" that's sort of been understood here is pretty much aligned with Team Myers).
But there was a bigger theme specific to this list. One major theme of humor is its use as casual rebellion against real or perceived authority. It's why "gallows humor" isn't the only reason that some of the best of Jewish humor came out of the ghettos of 1930s Europe.
On a much less grim note that probably needed several more paragraph breaks for an appropriate transition, the overall theme of the jokes this year was rebellion against perceived authority.
We mocked Brian McCann for trying to get in on that. We mocked Michael Young just for being declared part of that through no fault of his own. We cheered Puig's disregard for that. We mocked the Diamondbacks early in the year and then again late in the year during swimming time, when they tried to flaunt that authority.
In general, we propped up the young and mocked the veterans, both the veterans themselves and their defenders. With the exception of the Cincinnati case, we largely this year stood up for the minority and mocked the white, and something tells me there's a sociological volume to be written on our comfort in doing this given baseball writers' being mostly a white group.
Maybe we were reacting to what we saw as an abundance of media members and players going the other direction who needed to be stopped. Or maybe those were just the voices we've unfortunately trained ourselves to hear, even though most of the noise was really just us joking at one another and over one another in the supposedly enlightened baseball person echo chamber.
No matter which theme you choose to take away, there's one thing we can all agree on one thing as we try to heed the lessons of the jokes we've beaten to death: that baseball writers' knowledge of Jay Z's full body of work is horrific.

Caught in the act of favoriting. For shame.

This is a very fun and thoughtful piece, Zachary. I've made plenty of Shelby Miller jokes myself, and I STILL joke about Dusty's baserunners clogging up the base paths - that's just part of sharing in our fandom.

The thing with the Diamondbacks is interesting because while it started with the Upton and Bauer transactions, the swimming pool thing and Kevin Towers saying he wanted his team to throw the baseball at people and the recent Kirk Gibson trashing of who the Dodgers chose to send to Australia all feed the narrative. Hell, really, it goes back before the trades to Ken Kendrick running his players into the ground by name on the radio.

My children were mystified and amazed when I recently pulled my ancient electric iron out of the laundry cupboard, since they'd only heard tales of such things and read about them in books.
That's why I wasn't surprised to learn that the company that makes Monopoly is dumping the game token in the shape of an iron and replacing it with an image of a cat.
This might be aggravating to cat haters everywhere, but I doubt they hate cats as much as I hate ironing.
I never chose the iron as my token when I played Monopoly. Who wants to slide a reminder of an unpleasant chore around the board when your alter ego could be a race car or a dog instead?
Hasbro Inc., which now owns Monopoly, conducted a massive contest on the game's Facebook page to vote in a new token and retire an old one.
Now it's no surprise that Internet users are more fond of felines than of the instruments of torture known as irons.
I would guess that most young people consider irons to be historical artifacts, like the Model T Ford and the Telex machine.
And, in all the years they've been living with me, my kids had never seen this device in action, except while watching the movies, when it's usually used by some slovenly guy to toast his cheese sandwiches.
As I ironed my son's shirt for his winter formal last month, I explained to my kids that, once upon a time, housewives used these strange burning things on nearly everything that came out of the washer – even underwear and sheets.
Then times changed: Ladies were allowed to leave the house, permanent press was invented, and more and more irons got shoved in the back of closets, never to be seen again.
Of course, the Monopoly iron, introduced in 1935, looks like the ones that even predated electricity – the kind that had to be heated on the stove.
No wonder Monopoly fans prefer a more up-to-date token – and cat lovers might say it's about time a kitty joins the Scottie dog that resides in that cardboard box, apparently without food or water.
By the way, the Scottie dog, introduced to the board in 1952, is the most popular of all the tokens, which doesn't surprise me, considering that my purebred black Scottie, Wynne McTavish McDougal, was my favorite pet when I was a teenager.
The survey also revealed that besides the iron, the wheelbarrow and the shoe were the least popular tokens. At least the wheelbarrow is still in use today, along with the race car and battleship.
Companies that manufacture the real products even got into the act, lobbying their customers to vote on the Facebook contest.
Although Hasbro didn't give the shoe the boot, it still looks pretty out of date. Maybe they should ask Jimmy Choo to design a new token that will cripple players while they use it. Players could totter very, very slowly around the board, annoying the other combatants.
Among the other tokens are archaic relics of the time when Monopoly was first created: a thimble and top hat. I'd be willing to guess there are kids playing the game who have no idea what to do with a thimble. No, kids, it's not for tequila shooters.
The cat was chosen from among other popular token ideas: a diamond ring, acoustic guitar, helicopter and robot. It's interesting to note the latter two weren't even in common use in 1935, when the Parker Brothers sold the first Monopoly game.
I used to play Monopoly with my family when I was a child, though the game was usually interrupted by one of the kids wailing and stomping out.
The unpleasant thing about Monopoly is that no one can lose by one point. You either win, or you are bankrupted and humiliated in front of everyone. This didn't sit too well with me when I was a child, or with my children.
Coupled with the extreme length of a Monopoly game, these days it's really mostly suitable for long prison terms or cruises to Antarctica. According to Hasbro, the longest Monopoly game in history lasted for 70 days. That's longer than some celebrity marriages.
Whenever I do play the game, I'm always reminded of being back in college, when I tried to teach it to my friend Magda, who'd defected from Poland when it was under Soviet rule.
Even though she was a brilliant scientist, she had grown up in a Communist system and could simply not grasp the concept of the game. Whenever we played, she would just hoard all her money and refuse to buy properties, even though we tried to explain that she would eventually lose that way.
Though I don't really play anymore, I was happy to learn that some 10 million people from 120 countries cared enough about the game to vote in the contest about which tokens would stay and which would go.
After all, someday I may go to prison, and I'll be looking for something to do.

When you open a PDF file in Adobe Acrobat/Reader you may notice that the client reads the following registry keys repeatedly:
HKEY_USERS\…\Control Panel\International\sDecimal
HKEY_USERS\…\Control Panel\International\sThousand
The result of reading these keys if often BUFFER OVERFLOW. It's unnecessary for Acrobat/Reader to access these registry keys multiple times when opening a single PDF file. If you're using Terminal Server environments, where only one client services multiple users, this issues can lead to performance degradation.
Update to Adobe Acrobat/Reader 9.4 or X.
Additional information
It's common for a BUFFER OVERFLOW to occur when reading registry keys on application startup. This error doesn't necessarily point to a memory issue in Acrobat/Reader. Adobe Acrobat/Reader 9.4, X and later have been updated to access these keys only once when opening a PDF file. The number of BUFFER OVERFLOW events is therefore also reduced.

I asked myself "why can't these be in normal fabric?" The gods must have heard because there they were! Arent' they super cute?! H&M, you never fail me.

5thaccount - Tuesday, February 04, 2014 - linkMy hate is strictly for ASUS' motherboards and RMA process. Everything else I've seen from ASUS has been of reasonable to excellent quality. 'munim' is someone not related to me. I'm not going to give specific examples or identify myself, but since the 90s I've worked as a technician, at very large reseller (at one time was the largest reseller of video cards in the world - although we sold every other part too), and currently at an electronics recycling company. I see things on an enormous scale and from a unique perspective. We see tons of the latest technology running through our doors, and ASUS motherboards are a running joke (from my experience their reliability has been spotty since their Socket A / 462 boards - prior to that they were bulletproof). Anyhow, no one has to believe a word of what I just said - won't affect me one way or the other. Reply
Samus - Tuesday, February 04, 2014 - link5thaccount, did it ever occur to you the reason you saw so many Asus returns is because they are the largest motherboard manufacturer in the world, and chances are if a noobie builder is buying a board, it's going to be...Asus? Reply
Eagle007 - Tuesday, February 11, 2014 - linkI am currently in litigation with ASus over a $350 motherboard they said was defective but have not returned to me. They have spent at least $5000 not to fight the suit and not return the board. They tortured me with emails, unanswered, and chat instructions for days before issuing a RMA. Do not buy a product from them with a five year warranty as it guarantees that you will be abused by them for 5 years rather than protected from failures. Reply
Hxx - Monday, February 03, 2014 - linklol thats so dumb is ridicoulos. Asus makes excellent board, they have always done at least in the past 10 years since ive been building my own rig. Always use them Id rather get a lower specced Asus board than a higher specced msi or gigabyte. This is not just me speaking from experience, you can read forums upon forums of people expressing similar opinions. You're either trolling or got extremely unlucky. I just sold an x38 asus p5e board for over 100 bucks on ebay if that says anything. Reply
probedb - Tuesday, February 04, 2014 - linkOdd. I've had nothing but Asus motherboards since the days of Ahtlon XP processors and none have ever missed a beat. Reply
twtech - Friday, February 07, 2014 - linkI had a bad experience with an ASUS motherboard a few builds ago - which was actually something like 6 years now. The board was overvolting the RAM, so initially it would appear stable, and then degrade after a few months and start locking up with increasing frequency. I replaced the power supply, and the RAM twice before I figured out what was actually going on.
Searching for information about the issue revealed that it was actually a relatively common problem, and that the voltages displayed in the BIOS couldn't be trusted. A workaround was to manually set the RAM voltage lower, to a number that appeared to be out-of-spec. I wasn't sure how much of an offset needed to be set though, and eventually the board destroyed that set of RAM sticks too. At that point I got rid of the board.
Since then, I have been wary about purchasing another ASUS motherboard. It was probably just that model that was problematic, but having other options, it's still hard to choose to go back to a manufacturer that shipped boards with an issue as significant as that. Especially when they typically want a premium for their boards, too. Reply

Sabresiberian - Monday, February 03, 2014 - linkI have one, too, quite happy with it. My only "complaint" is that the armor kit comes separately for a rather expensive price too, so that made what I paid pretty high all total. Still there are other premium small form factor mainboards in that price range (board+armor kit) - and with a 3 year warranty in stead of 5.
The lower priced sound solution is a plus for me because I don't use mainboard sound, so the less it adds to the cost of the board the better for me. :) Reply

Senti - Monday, February 03, 2014 - linkI currently use Asus Sabertooth x58 MB and it works quite well: 211 base clock, CPU 2.8 -> 4.0 with minimal overvolt, RAM 1333 -> 1700, good placement of extension slots, PCI slot (I use it!).
The only complain is NB is really hot and I was not comfortable with designed passive cooling so had to stick cooler on it.
It may not have many fancy features of top boards but indeed looks solid. MB before that was Biostar TPower x58 which died exactly a month after warranty ended. Reply

Sivar - Monday, February 03, 2014 - linkI was kind of hoping for an analysis of exactly how TUF motherboards differ from the rest. Technical details, specific component lists with a look at their manufacturer specifications, you know -- hardcore Anandtech stuff.
Yes, it has a longer warranty, but is that because the "TUF" voltage regulators are rated for higher temperature environments (and similar), or is it more a marketing gimmick? Reply
irusun - Monday, February 03, 2014 - linkExactly! I actually strongly considered this board on my last build for a CAD workstation... Reliability and stability were primary factors. In the end, their marketing actually turned me off. The marketing seems to be more about appealing to G.I. Joe / Call of Duty fans with the over-the-top website, colors, and military lingo. I just wanted a "professional" geared board. I get the impression it might be a good board for less than ideal environmental conditions, still no idea if the board really would be any better in a typical office environment. Reply
HandsomeChow - Wednesday, February 12, 2014 - linkIf you really want to see what components they are, just remove the top heatsink on the MOSFETS and there should be a product number on the Caps and the Mosfets and you can search them up along with the Inductors. Reply
jtd871 - Monday, February 03, 2014 - linkBingo. Does the "armor" actually do anything worthwhile? Or is that just an expensive gimmick? I noticed also that the IO plate seems to have an open vent in it. => I think I see a potential path for dust entry into the armor! And how do you get enough cooling air to the heatsinks around the CPU if they're covered by the armor?! Downdraft cooler? Reply

HandsomeChow - Wednesday, February 12, 2014 - linkIn terms of Heat dissipation, the aim from Asus is to keep external heat sources from conducting to the motherboard. Hence the Armour being made out of plastic. But the internal components on the motherboard also admit some heat so it is a double edged sword. The Armour is more of a Dust protector/Moisture shield. And yes there are potential airflow gaps that will allow dust to enter but it is much less dust compared to a motherboard without the Armour Reply
kyuu - Monday, February 03, 2014 - linkHave to agree with this. We need more info on what exactly the differences are between this and a "run-of-the-mill" Z87 board. Did they use different components (higher quality capacitors, voltage regulators, etc.)? Did they undergo more validation? Does the armor kit do anything worthwhile, and does it hamper cooling in any way? Reply
FractinJex - Monday, February 03, 2014 - linkHere....I have used several for work related builds and one for myself they are awesome!
TUF Black Metallic capacitors, chokes, and MOSFETs are screened by seven rigorous military-grade tests to ensure superior lifespan even under the most demanding conditions.
The components used are of about server grade quality in other words its a bit better than a standard board/mid range board 100-250$ range...most boards these days are built to last but most do not come with 5 year warranty either...and someone whos been in the industry most boards are built to last just that so go more some go less etc...

fokka - Monday, February 03, 2014 - link"TUF Black Metallic capacitors, chokes, and MOSFETs are screened by seven rigorous military-grade tests to ensure superior lifespan even under the most demanding conditions." marketing speak much? Reply
HandsomeChow - Wednesday, February 12, 2014 - linkThe TUF components used have still to be tested but considering they are willing to backup the board with a five year warranty shows that they won't actually be using average run of the mill mosfets, caps and inductors right? Since it would actually negatively effect them if they use crappy-average quality electronics since it will cost more for them to replace the entire board for defective mosfets or inductors.
Plus, the TUF series has one thing no other motherboards have and that is the advance thermal management and monitoring software. Which in my opinion is what stands out the most on the TUF series. Reply

ShieTar - Tuesday, February 04, 2014 - link"The Gryphon also offers an additional 'Fan Overtime' feature which keeps the fans spinning after the system is shut down in order to allow the equilibration of air inside and outside the case. This can be seen as important in humid climates, where hot air inside the case can cause inside condensation as it cools down."
Can somebody explain to me why this would happen? If the air inside the case is just heated up air from the outside, then it absolute water content cannot be over the dew point of the outside air. So when you cool it back down to its original temperature, why would there suddenly be condensation? It's not like there are water reservoirs inside the case to saturate the air. Reply
HandsomeChow - Wednesday, February 12, 2014 - linkNo, the outside ambient air will always be cooler than the air inside the case in this scenario. Since fresh cool air is being pulled into the case and heated up and exhausted out the back. When your computer shuts down, the components don't just suddenly cool down to the ambient. It takes time and gradually the heat energy from the components will be transferred to the air inside the case. But if there is no 'Fan Overtime' the hot air will stay inside the case come into contact with the cold case panel and condense into liquid. But with Fan Overtime, the hot air is exhausted out of the case even after shut down.
In more humid climates, the air has a higher % of moisture and therefore would cause a even bigger problem since more condensation will occur inside the computer increasing the probability of a component failure. Reply

Tig3RStylus - Wednesday, February 05, 2014 - linkI buy Rampage and Maximus boards, but a friend of mine has bought Sabretooth. One pattern that i noticed is the lack of updates available for Sabretooth line when compared to the plethora of updates for Rampage and Maximus. Not a problem in Year 1 or Year 2, but with the TUF lines focus on longevity of 5 years, i wonder if ASUS will step up their commitment and continue to release updates in year 3, 4 and 5. What updates? things like drivers for controllers are not available for Windows 8 on a Sabretooth board thats 2 years old. My friend is going to be upgrading to either Maximus or Rampage next time and ditching the Sabretooth entirely. I doubt he would go near Gryphon with a bargepole for the same reasons. 5 year warranty is useless for anybody who keeps their software and OS up to date if ASUS dont bother providing updates beyond the bare minimum.

Epimpin - Saturday, November 07, 2015 - linkI literally just had an asus motherboard die on me. It was manufactured in 2003 and has been thru 5 moves, sat outside in the cold wet winter for 8 months and had the ram upgraded like 15 times and went thru 3 CPU upgrades and 3 psu swaps, 5 or 6 RTC batteries, 10 or so bios flashes and countless peripherals installed. The A8N motherboard. I was able to play GTA IV on high settings with an AMD R9 Video Card and an SSD last year. I also have a KFN5-D SLI (Circa 2006) with 2 Opteron 2393 SE Quad Core 3.1ghz Processors in which overclock fine with golden orb 2 heatsinks to 4.0ghz. I plan to have it around for a long time since i had it RMA'd this year with my extended ASUS Server Care package, well worth the $300. This motheboard and proc combo has been stomping every comparable core#/memory/SLi rig for years due to its 8000M/T Controller and FSB. System bus has been matched to processor speed and memory speed across channels giving ZERO bottlenecks. Something that other manufactures have yet to master. Asus is a great company and makes great stuff. I just bought This Z87 and ot it for 46.99 and it came with a 50$ mail in rebate so they paid me to buy it. Today i just bought the TUF Armor kit from Microcenter for 67$ and it has a 30$ mail in rebate so all in all I paid 37.99 for the Asus Gryphon Z87 TUF Armor Edition. Bought an I7 4790 for 239.99, Coolermaster G650M power supply for 64.99 and a 16G kit of 1866 XMP Patriot Viper mem for 42.00 and used my current pair of 120gig Samsung 840's in raid 0 and I have a really sweet system of under 500. Add in 2x AMD R9 295x2's in SLi and this system is going to rip holes in GTA V in Ultra at 4K. So for all of you Ripping on ASUS, You should look at the alternative companies, their products are far inferior to ASUS in manufacturing tech and innovation, ASUS is always CREATING tech that others are doing a piss poor job of emulating. Im my Honest and professional opinion the only other company that is better than or in the same class as ASUS is TYAN and they only make server boards now. Reply

Does Crystal Space use Direct3D?
No, Crystal Space works with OpenGL (or software rendering) on all platforms.
Which version of Crystal Space should I use?
In almost all cases you should use the last stable release (1.2.1 in this case). This is the version that we tested and fully support. However, if you depend on new features that are only present in the latest development version then of course you are free to use the 1.4 development version as well. But keep in mind that this version may break from time to time and we will not be able to support you as effectively if that happens.
Do I need a C++ compiler to use Crystal Space?
Yes and no. To use the basic Crystal Space and Crystal Entity Layer source packages you need a C++ compiler. You will also need a C++ compiler to compile your own project sources. However, you can also use CELstart which is a precompiled application that contains Crystal Space and Crystal Entity Layer. And using CELstart you can make applications with Python or XML without the need for a C++ compiler.
When can I use CELStart?
Use the CELstart project if you want to make a fully scripted Crystal Space game (either with Python or XML scripts, or both). If you want to use C++ then you should use the normal Crystal Space (and CEL) packages.
Is there a free C++ compiler available for Windows?
Yes, you can use the free (as in speech) MingW compiler on Windows. To download MingW you need both the full MingW package and also MSYS. You can download both from this location.
Microsoft also distributes a free (as in beer) version of their Visual C++ compiler and IDE called Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition which is completely sufficient to build and develop with CS. The manual contains build instructions for this compiler.
I'm using the Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition and I get a lot of errors. What is wrong?
Errors like windef.h not being found, or symbols like SHGetSpecialFolderLocation@12 being unresolved on linking indicate a lacking or an incomplete installation of the Platform SDK. Exactly follow the instructions given on Microsoft's "Using Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition with the Microsoft Platform SDK" page. Also, the instructions don't say that, but if you have Visual C++ open while applying those changes you need to restart it.
How can I make maps and models for Crystal Space?
One of the best supported solutions for making maps is Blender. Using the powerful blender2crystal script for Blender you can export directly to Crystal Space and Crystal Entity Layer from within Blender.
Included with Crystal Space there is also an exporter script for 3dsMax. This is also well maintained and supports a lot of features in Crystal Space.

A Cyrus Crisis!
Alert! Billy Ray Cyrus is in trouble!
Billy Ray and Miley in happier times.
Stop everyone! There's a Cyrus crisis on our hands. Poor Billy Ray. Or poor Miley? We're not sure, maybe both. In a recent interview with GQ, Billy publicly admitted he's concerned for the safety of his daughter, Miley. Could it be the pressure of Hollywood? A love-crisis? A Linday-esque gaol experience? Nope. It's Satan, and he's attacking their family.
When the Cyrus family first came to Hollywood, they drove past a sign every day that said:
As Billy said, it was "A physical sign. It could have easily said 'You will now be attacked by Satan.' 'Entering this industry, you are now on the highway to darkness...'"
If Billy remembered his own words from 1992 ("Don't tell my heart, my achy breaky heart") he might recall also saying "I just don't think you'd understand". Correct, Billy – you lost us a while ago. I think what's more poignant than Satan's intrusion into Billy's life is the invasion of the media into celebrity lives, and just how difficult it actually must be to cope with this. So, sorry for dissing on you Billy, you do have some of my sympathy. But this got me thinking about the whole notion of celebrity lives – and despite my childhood dream to be famous (for a talent I'm yet to discover) it seems like the downside outweighs the positives.
The clincher, though, is Billy's use of social media to address his reaction to the Miley/Salvia scandal. Tweeting his disappointment speech, "Just saw this stuff for the first time myself. I'm so sad. There is much beyond my control right now", is just too much. The day my dad knows what a 'tweet' is (aside from a birdcall, of course) will be the day I join the recorder section of the Australian Symphony Orchestra. But wait, it gets better. Billy's previous tweet read, "Oh wow ! I'm so excited !!! I tweeted follow Jesus and He showed up !!! I didn't know He was on twitter!!!"
Thanks for the laughs, Billy.

Nutrisystem today or call 888-853-4689
Are you on a weight loss journey? How are you doing?
Wow. My apologies. I had 2 posts for my progress that stuck in draft land and didn't post. Jeez. :o( So it's been a while. I was doing fine, holding steady…I actually have to go figure out my total right now but its about 26lbs lost. 30, HERE I COME!
I'm still here. Still on program. Was off program when I was in California, although I was careful and didn't go crazy…but I still gained. Happily, only 2.6 lbs were gained, and as of this morning I was down 1.2 from that. I'm going to break 30lbs lost by July 31st. That's my goal. I'd like to do it sooner, time will tell. June got "hairy" as my friend Karly says, when I got home from my trip I had 3 sick kids and then I got sick…and its been a big game of catch up ever since.
I also have to admit something.
I hate to exercise. I mean, I WANT to exercise. I NEED to exercise.
I really, really REALLY want to love exercise.
How do I go from hating exercise to loving it? Because, let's be honest, I need to do it. I just can't seem to get out of my own way. HELP.
(Please don't tell me to wake up before my children and work out before they wake up. I have three children who hate sleeping and don't do it well and they barely sleep till 5:30 most days).
Help me love exercise.
Help me like it.
Maybe just help me not despise it.

I don't think you'd use <様> with the Prime Minister but you definitely would with the Emperor. Although not with his name, you have to say <天皇様>.

The children at Wylye Valley School focused on Easter for their RE unit this term.
Over two days children had discussions within their class and in whole school worship about Easter.
Key Stage Two asked the question 'what is good about Good Friday?'
They explored this in more detail with a range of activities and then made crosses which they laid out on the mound outside their class.
Key Sage One children got crafty and made Easter gardens and baskets.
Then they went orienteering around the school grounds following clues connected to the Easter Story.
Reverend Mary Garrard came in as Foundation Governor and spent time in each class and was very impressed with the depth of learning and the thoughtful responses of the children.
Head teacher Debi Downing said: "We did the Christmas unit in the same way and feedback from the staff and children was overwhelmingly positive way so we decided to repeat this again for Easter.
"It enables children to really focus on a key question and work together to come up with some ideas."
Wylye Valley School ended the week with an Easter service at their local church and their annual egg rolling and egg decoration competition.
The time and effort that children spend in decorating their eggs is amazing only to roll them down a course created by the year 6 to see which travels the greatest distance.

Menston residents attended a traffic management consultation event on Tuesday to view a proposed scheme for the village.
Highways officers from Bradford Council attended the event at Kirklands Community Centre to answer queries from residents about the suggested highway improvements for Menston village should the Derry Hill and Bingley Road development projects take place.
The plans will be on display for a week in Menston Library for anyone who was unable to attend the meeting.
Jackie Whiteley, Conservative councillor for the Wharfedale ward was among those who attended. She said: "I was able to meet and listen to residents' concerns, but it seemed to me that there is some misunderstanding about the process. The first thing I want to stress is that nothing is set in stone.
"To date planning permission has been granted with a condition that the developers must pay circa £500,000 to improve facilities in Menston. In recent months the highways officers have been consulting with the parish council and ward councillors to get a picture of what improvements could be made to aid traffic flow and safety in the village given the expected increase in traffic. They have used their professional expertise to produce a workable scheme.
"At this stage it is just a suggestion and everyone can comment when the formal public consultation starts. The key points are that the planning permissions have been granted and should the developers build the houses there is £500,000 available to improve facilities in the village. Part has to be spent on improving the highways which might include; varying the speed limit and associated measures to support this, such as signage or road humps, we could even have a speed limit imposed on the whole village.
"We are still in the early consultation period but if nothing is done then the developers will get their money back. The money can't be kept for a rainy day or used for other purposes so we need to think carefully what will be best for the village in the circumstances that we find ourselves in now if the developments go ahead.
"We know that Bradford Council is short of money and so we need to think carefully how and if this money is spent."
The event was also attended by Dr Steve Ellams, of Menston Community Association, who said: "The event, which was very well attended over the afternoon and evening, prompted concerned residents to ask hundreds of questions ranging from congestion and parking to possible one-way systems being implemented. One of the major concerns was how do the heavy goods vehicles get on and off the proposed sites safely when there are far too many cars parked in and around the village already."
Dr Ellams said he had submitted a detailed report from a Heavy Goods Vehicle Inspector on February 28, 2012, to the planning panel to say the route on and off the site for HGV vehicles was impossible, due mainly due to parked cars, however this had been ignored.
"There will be a follow up meeting in approximately four weeks after which time the public can send written representation to the proposed Traffic Management scheme for Menston," added Dr Ellams.
"I will be resubmitting the report from the Inspector to point out the obvious flaws in the route to and from the sites."

MIT Musical Theatre Guild Presents URINETOWN, Now thru 5/5
The MIT Musical Theatre Guild presents its IAP production: Urinetown, The Musical, with music and lyrics by Mark Hollman, book and lyrics by Greg Kotis, directed by Kaitlin Burroughs, with vocal direction by Ashley Caval. The show features choreography by Nicole O'Keeffe and orchestra direction by Matthew Putnam. Urinetown plays tonight, April 27 through April 29, with performances at 8 p.m. and 2 p.m. on the 29th, and May 3-5 at 8 p.m., at the Kresge Little Theatre, 48 Massachusetts Ave, Cambridge, Mass.
Mixing equal parts political satire, musical theater history, and farcical comedy, The MIT Musical Theatre Guild's production of Urinetown is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution. Set in a town suffering from a 20-year drought that has water scarcity pushed to the breaking point, this production incorporates modern-day elements of the Occupy Wall Street protests to tell a story of what happens when a private corporation controls the public toilets – and how much people will stand for when they aren't free to pee. Examining not only corporate greed and out-of-control capitalism but also responsible protest, Urinetown is a story about what happens when one man has a vision for change that leads to a revolution – and why getting rid of the bad guys might not always lead to a happy ending.
Tickets are $6 - MIT & Wellesley students, $10 - MIT Community, Seniors, and other students and $15 - General public. Make reservations at http://web.mit.edu/mtg/www/TicketReservations.html

Journalists are a cynical bunch the world over it would seem, or at least Down Under. The Australian press pack have spotted what they claim is the Achilles heel in the much-maligned Olympic transport plan and one of their veteran sports reporters, who has just turned up in London to cover his third Olympic Games, felt obliged to inform the FT's transport correspondent of the problem.
The issue is not apparently with one of the underground lines to the Olympic Park at Stratford, which have had their share of problems in the build-up to the opening ceremony later on Friday. Nah mate, it's the flagship high-speed Javelin train, the newest, shiniest and quickest way to get to to Stratford. Running a shuttle service every six minutes during the Games from the gleaming spires of St Pancras station in north London this smooth, air conditioned seven minutes ride is a far cry from the hot, oppressive and not always very reliable trains on the Tube.

The phrase "all hetero" is synonymous with examples of the literary devices of modifiers. The phrase strictly clarifies & classifies a statement as heterosexual (not gay), that potentially could have been viewed as heterosexual or homosexual. This is differentiated from no homo or no bruno, in that these two phrases are used to clarify the heterosexual intent of an otherwise homosexual statement. However, the phrase "all hetero" can be used in a "no homo statement," but not vice versa (as a "all hetero statement" may not have been homosexual in the first place).
"The wind blew me today; all hetero." The wind could be personified as either male or female, thus "all hetero" is used.
Not an Example:
"Suck my dick," when said male to male, should include no homo as opposed to "all hetero."

The council's chief executive, Graham Farrant, spoke about the promises the council made last year and how they had been fulfilled, , including regular business breakfasts, the meet-the-buyer event at Tilbury Cruise Terminal, and a business e-zine launched this week.

Today's Olympic Hopefuls are Adam and Kara Goucher. They're married. Isn't that sweet? They're going to run the Olympic Trials together! (Spouse? Can we run an Olympic Trials Marathon together? Pretty please? As if a pretty please and an eyelash batting will get me to the Olympic Trials. As! If!)
Kara was born in Queens, New York, but moved to Duluth, Minnesota at age four when her father was killed by a drunk driver. Kara started running at age six. She says, "I love to run. I truly believe I was born to do it. My quest for the perfect race is an adventure that never loses its excitement for me." She competed in high school, and later ran for the University of Colorado where she graduated in 2001.
Kara ran well at shorter distances (1500, 5000, 10000), but discovered in 2007 that maybe longer races were her forte. In 2007, she ran a 1:06:57 half marathon, which made her the fastest American woman ever to run that distance. In 2008, Kara competed in the Bejing Olympics – the 5000 and 10000 – and nailed some personal bests. She didn't medal in Bejing, but was well on her way to greatness.
Kara's marathon debut was during the fall of 2008 with a dizzyingly fast New York in 2:25:53. Kara took third and established herself as America's next great distance runner. In 2009, she ran the Boston marathon in 2:32:25. In 2010, she had a baby boy and named him Colt. In 2011, she returned to the Boston to finish in 2:24:52 – her new personal marathon best.
Until recently, Kara has trained with distance running legend Alberto Salazar. She and Adam live and run in Portland, Oregon. You can follow Kara's blog here.
Adam Goucher was born and raised in Colorado Springs. In 1993, Adam won the Footlocker National High School Cross Country Championship, which, seriously, is a big deal. Big. Like Adam was the fastest high school aged boy in the nation for 1993. See? Big deal. Adam also ran for the University of Colorado. I presume this is where the couple met, but have yet to discover the story. So for now, I guess we get to "guess" the specifics of the Goucher romance.
In 2000, Adam qualified for the Olympic Team in the 5000 and competed in the Sydney Olympics. He placed 13th. From 2000 on, Adam has struggled with some significant injuries. He didn't make the Olympic team in 2004 due to an achilles problem. He has spent the last few years running with and supporting his lovely wife, Kara.
Adam qualified for the Olympic Trial marathon at the Philadelphia Rock 'n Roll half marathon with a time of 1:04:53. Those Gouchers like their times in the 52 and 53 seconds, don't they? Also, did you know you can qualify for the Olympic Trial marathon by running a half? Or even a 10k? It's true. Check it out.
Adam wrote a book recently. It's called Running The Edge. Kara also wrote a book. It's called Kara Goucher's Running for Women: From First Steps to Marathons.
I'm super excited to see what these Gouchers end up doing this weekend. Aren't you? Gads, this is exciting!

TWO vivacious Basingstoke party girls have teamed up to ensure that Cinderella finds that perfect gown for the ball.
While they can't guarantee that their clients will meet a Prince Charming, they will make them look like a princess.
The new business is called Elegance Boutique and it is run by Charlie Hobbs and Caz Ford, who currently work for two blue chip companies in sales and customer service.
The idea of the business stems from when the pair attended a summer ball at Oakley Hall.
"It was an amazing ball," recalled Caz. "And that's when we realised there was a market for beautiful dresses.
"But we couldn't find any shop local to us that could give us what we wanted. And buying the dresses is very expensive, especially if you don't want to wear the same dress more than once."
Few would disagree with them with a price tag of around £300.
They are now looking forward to a successful season of spring, summer and autumn balls, not to mention Christmas events too, "We are doing this because there is a need for people to look beautiful," explained Caz.
Charlie has managed to source the dresses from wholesalers, with quality names such as Mark Lesley and Alfred Angelo.
"There is a whole range of different sizes, styles and colours – we've got about 120 dresses at the moment. They are high spec and well made.
"And they are robust because of the types of places where they will be worn, on cruises, proms and graduation balls.
"We also do bridesmaid dresses too," added Charlie, who said they may in the future expand to include accessories.
Dress sizes range from four to 20 and can be tried on in the comfort of Charlie's Oakridge home, where private evening and weekend appointments can be made.

If you are running an SQL2 query in CRX 2.2 you may encounter the following exception:
org.apache.lucene.search.BooleanQuery$TooManyClauses: maxClauseCount is set to 1024
Running the query through the CRXDE Lite query window, or using QueryManager.createQuery will result in this error.
This error occurs if you are using the ISDESCENDANTNODE clause in your SQL2 query and there are too many child nodes in the result set. It is a bug in jackrabbit-core which is part of CRX 2.2.
This issue will be solved in future releases of CQ 5.5 and CRX.
The workaround for this issue is to split your SQL2 query into multiple queries to reduce the result set for each query, and then you can consolidate the results afterwards.

I just received a Weber Smoky Mountain Cooker Smoker. I tried smoking some ribs and pork chops last night. Seemed to be going OK, I added a few pieces of charcoal and a few wood chunks every 90 minutes.
However, after 4 hours, the chops were still not done! (Internal temp about 130). I got a little impatient and pulled out the trusty grill to finish them off (They still had a great smoky flavor!)
Any tips on the smoker? Am I not keeping it hot enough? Not enough coal? Opening the side hatch too much (to add coal and wood every 90 minutes)? Any help and hints are appreciated. Thanks!

High-output heart failure happens when the
body's need for blood is unusually high, so heart failure symptoms happen even though the heart is working well.
This type of heart failure happens to a very small number of people with heart failure.
High-output heart failure occurs when the normally functioning heart
cannot keep up with an unusually high demand for blood to one or
more organs in the body. The heart may be working well
otherwise, but it cannot pump out enough blood to keep up with
this extra need.
There are a variety of conditions that can
significantly increase the body's need for blood and oxygen, resulting in
high-output heart failure. These conditions include
hyperthyroidism, and pregnancy. Although the causes of
high-output heart failure are different from the cause of other types of heart
failure, the end result is the same: Your heart isn't supplying enough blood
to meet your body's needs. High-output heart failure results in the same symptoms of heart failure, including fatigue and shortness of
What is it?
How does it cause high-output heart failure?
Deficiency of thiamine (vitamin B1)

A BRIERLEY Hill based housing association has donated money to help the work of foodbanks.
The Midlands regional committee of Jephson Homes Housing Association gifted £750 to the Trussell Trust charity which runs more than 400 foodbanks nationwide.
Rose Green, chairman of the Midlands regional committee, said: "Jephson is committed to working in local communities and we hope this small donation helps in the work of the Trussell Trust."
Jephson's financial inclusion officer for the Midlands, Keira Lymath, makes regular referrals to borough foodbanks as part of her job, which sees her offering support and advice to tenants facing financial difficulties.
She said: "It's not easy to ask for help when you are struggling financially. It must be even harder to say you haven't got any food in the cupboards, and have probably missed a number of meals already. "This scenario is more common than people think, and this is why foodbanks are a vital service for people in need."
The rising cost of living has forced many to live below the poverty line and the association says incresaing food prices plus static income and high levels of unemployment meant in 2012-13 346,992 people in crisis received three days' emergency supplies from Trussell Trust foodbanks.
Mike Partridge, corporate partnerships manager at The Trussell Trust, said: "We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone at Jephson for their donation of £750 to help foodbanks stop hunger in the local community.
"Their support will prevent families from going hungry in their own homes. One in five mums are skipping meals to feed their children in the UK, and rising living costs mean more families are struggling than ever.
"Jephson's support at this time of acute national need will make a real difference."
Jephson staff have also been making their own contributions to the Black Country Foodbank in Halesowen.
Collection boxes in the staff room at Jephson's Narrowboat Way office are also being filled by the team with long-life foods and toiletries.
Once full, the boxes are taken to food banks where the contents are sorted and handed out to those in need.

Ballot Summary
Proposing an amendment to the State Constitution providing that no individual or entity may be denied, on the basis of religious identity or belief, governmental benefits, funding or other support, except as required by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution, and deleting the prohibition against using revenues from the public treasury directly or indirectly in aid of any church, sect, or religious denomination or in aid of any sectarian institution.
This amendment would overturn a part of the state Constitution that blocks taxpayer funds from being spent on religious institutions, including any churches, sects and religious denominations. The new language, replacing a provision in the Constitution going back more than 125 years, says an individual or entity may not be denied funding, benefits or support based on religious identity or belief.
Florida Rep. Stephen Precourt says that religious should be treated the same as non-religious ones. He has described education as a marketplace and said, "They shouldn't be telling a group that just because you're faith-based organization you shouldn't be participating in the market."
The "Vote No on 8" committee argues that the amendment is not really about religious freedom, but is rather an attempt by the state to gain voter approval for funding religious organizations with taxpayer money.
