House Of Mirrors (HoM) is a logic game inspired by
Chromatron (from Silver SpaceShip Software). The
game consists of a 2D grid in which several types
of objects are found, including detectors and
mirrors. The goal is simple: light up all the
detectors using emitted or reflected rays of
light. Usually, you can move and rotate the
mirrors but not the detectors. In each level, the
choice of available objects is limited. There can
be more than one solution for each level. Levels
can be created by users in hand-editable XML
format and shared with others.

At Vita Energia, we aim to provide the most efficient solution for you; which is the balance between savings and investment. Sometimes the most efficient and effective solution is a customized product. Its part of our innovation DNA to think wide looking for the optimum solution to meet your needs.
Recently we have been working with SAGA to upgrade their office lighting. The office building contains a whole variety of functions including customer telephone response. We all receive calls at home or at work from telemarketers or have to make calls to large telephone based companies to progress something, often with a "not again" sigh. Just imagine being on the other end receiving the sigh…..need I go further! So making the phone team's work conditions conducive to; dare I say; to be "sustainable" is important. But of course the quality of the work environment is an important part of making everyone in the building feel good about being there. People comfortable and happy in their environment are more productive and the bottom line is improved. The original lighting in the building had already been designed for a good work environment.
Part of the design is a very attractive wall mounted up-lighter to give a soothing ambience but the light from these fittings was too low and they were inefficient.
Standard LED solutions didn't fit and so Vita Energia developed a customized LED fitting.
Replacing the PLL fitting with a customised LED insert using industry standard Zhaga compliant components from a reputable EU manufacturer, the ambience is now much brighter and still soothing; but no longer gloomy. Plus there is around 50% energy saving. Needless to say the people at SAGA are delighted. That's our aim – satisfied customers.

Fallout Shelter
I love the recent Fallout games. I love Vault Boy and his general cheeky art style. I'm also a sucker for Skinner boxes. Don't ask how long it took for me to get bored of Farmville.
This adorable little phone game was a surprise announcement at E3, and I naturally jumped right on it.
Happy Times
After a couple of rough starts and do-overs, Vault 707 had me addicted. Bring in the initial crop of potatoheads – lovingly termed as such because of their oval skulls and potato grade stats! Hook them up and enjoy the corny pickup lines as they make woo-hoo and reproduce! Then, enjoy the kiddie dwellers' non sequiturs as they wander around your vault!
Get some sweet weapons and outfits and stronger dwellers from lunchboxes – random reward dispensers slowly earned in-game or optionally purchased! Fall off the couch laughing when one of said dwellers happens to be randomly named after your spousal unit!
As your vault population increases – slowly, to keep it manageable – you unlock more rooms to build. Make medical supplies! Max your potatoheads to god tier in the training facilities! With boosted stats and healing items, send them on long wasteland expeditions for stuff! Find Gauss rifles in a coffee machine! Dress everyone in pope hats and hockey masks and fancy robes for no reason beyond your own amusement!
And so I patiently developed Vault 707 in anticipation of the Big Huge Update to be released alongside the Android version of the game. I expected some degree of rebalancing likely to give me more grief. But I also expected solid end game content – higher rewards to go with the challenge. More room types and upgrades and loot. More to build and earn, adding to that satisfaction of developing a solid and well-run vault.
Into Each Life Some Rain Must Fall
Big Huge Update was a rebalance, all right – but more of a rubberbanding.
New enemies were added. Molerats, who steal electricity because they clearly have a use for it beyond arbitrary resource drainage. Deathclaws, who hit like fanged freight trains and steal all your key resources because of course they do, and are triggered by opening the vault door and therefore largely exist to throttle your outflow of wasteland explorers. Not that those explorers have much to find. Previously, a certain wasteland event – over two real-time days out and only reachable by strong dwellers – had a small chance of yielding legendary loot. This event is legendary no more. Instead, you must rely on a general infinitesimal drop rate that never seems to deliver.
I dealt by building another medical supply room and sending out explorers less often. No real hardship – especially compared to the struggles of newer players without the same opportunity to fortify themselves first – but overall unrewarding. This update did add Mr. Handy, a helper robot acquirable with money or extreme lunchbox luck, but he's more a side note than a new tier of content. And, as described, you don't exactly build or earn him.
Ain't That a Kick in the Head
Rubberbanding or not, I could still enjoy Vault 707, even without flipping its name over. I could continue to collect spiffy outfits – albeit more slowly – and build up my potatoheads in hopes of more construction and upgrading fun further down the line.
Then I learned I was leveling my dwellers all wrong – permanently kneecapping them without forewarning.
A dweller's health is king in Fallout Shelter, critical to surviving vault disasters and long wasteland expeditions. To max their health, you must boost their endurance stat before leveling them up. If you do it the other way around, you get diddlysquat for all your stat-boosting trouble – which takes days of real time to max out. As detailed in this discussion, the potential difference in health is significant. Your only recourse, which really isn't one, is to kill off the weaklings, breed replacements, and go through all that training time before leveling them up. To identify weaklings, I hope you have a save editor. The actual health stat isn't visible in-game.
I don't like to kill my potatoheads. It makes me sad. More importantly, I expect order of operations-dependent stat calculation from a more hardcore game where careful character build planning is part of the challenge. I do not expect it from a casual time sink, especially when the game never lets on.
I'm Movin' Out
Fallout Shelter is fun to a point, and I'm glad I spent time with it. Up to that point, I dug its well-paced treadmill of building and upgrading and collecting. Hopefully a future update will bring a true content-rich extension to said treadmill, plus a fix for that silly health stat nerf. For now, this overseer is on coffee break.

Besides being known by Tibetans, there is also the interesting connection to Carlos Castaneda and his power walking which seems very similar. I actually learned about Castaneda only after I was introduced to this technique.
Here is an interesting article about the Castaneda connection with Yoga and Buddhism.
Thoughts, experiences and comments are welcome.
reply to post by TatTvamAsi
Interesting topic.
I had read Castaneda's account/s, as well, and was enamored with the proposition.
Tried it, as well... Don't know how closely I came to duplicating all of the requirements, but - did not get impaled by any cactus or firethorns.
I am not familiar with the Tibetan practice.
What interests you about this 'practice'? Is it, primarily, the way the mind (or, whatever) works?
Yes i think so this way too, when im in dark it takes couple moments to re-focus my eyes to see in the darkness but in pitch black u cannot see but rather feel in different sensations and such whats around u. I would imaginate that tribes/ppl/animals that lives in nature can relate to this practise very well.
I would agree with this.
I usually fair pretty well while walking throughout the bush on a dark night. I tend to get to my destination in seemingly no time at all.
Of course, I've usually been drinking in these instances.
A long time ago I used to practice unfocusing my eyes. I would sit there and not blink, not move my eyes and concentrate on one very small spot on the wall or ceiling while my eyes relaxed. I found that the "reality" portions of my field of view, the peripheral parts faded away and allowed me to see "past" whatever was there. It was really weird and reminded me a little of certain Castaneda related "products" years before, I suggest you try that as well (not the Castaneda products, just the unfocused concentration).
The Egyptians strongly believed that connecting with the energy of Sirius bestowes immortality. This fits into there cosmology of starwalking.
At night, senses are heightened. Awareness is increased also. It becomes less about seeing, more about feeling your surroundings. I have read that psychic abilities increase at night. My theory is that the Sun may interfere with ESP abilities.
I would agree with this.

LOL, sure drink can make you unfocused.

Highly Addictive Mindless Internet Songs
The lyrics are idiotic or outright nonsensical. The tunes are simplistic. The agonizing repetition is mind-numbing … and yet … There's something about these stupid ditties that makes you listen to them over and over … and over … and then share them with your friends so you don't suffer alone. Highly addictive and stupid as hell, here are my top 3 favourite Mindless Songs ...
#3 Badger, Badger, Badger
I first saw this video on weebls-stuff.com several years ago. Badger, Badger, Badger has 5 notes and 3 words that will stick in your head, eating away at your brain like a rabid alien parasite: Badger, Mushroom, Snake. That is all it takes to go viral. Once you listen, you will forever be haunted by those 5 simple notes.
Unlike the Youtube version, the Weebls site version has no ending. It just loops on and on until you close your browser or go mad and put your head through your computer screen.
Badger. Mushroom. Snake … Repeat ad nauseam.
#2 Crabs
Another psycho creation from Weebls, this one also played on an endless loop. I never figured out why dude wants to put live crabs in his mouth, but was spell-bound by the sound he makes when he has a mouthful of crabs ...
Effing stupid, Yes. Be fair to me, though. I was introduced to Weebls songs by my brother's military buddies. I think it was their idea of pay-back for me kicking their behinds at Soul Calibur on Dreamcast. I must share my misery ...
#1 The Llama Song
This is bit of goofy-goodness was created by AlbinoBlackSheep. I love to watch the images that flash across the screen and read the lyrics. I share this one with love to those who thrive on silliness.
If you understand why the orange slayed the rake, please, PLEASE, for the love of all that is good and holy: Post the explanation below!

I'm trying to restore a Vista system which I imaged many years ago. It has a hard drive of about 150GB so I had shrunk C and created a data drive which has the image on. There's also a 8GB manufacturer recovery partition at the front of the disc which I always ignored. When I tried to boot the restored partition it gave me a blue screen with some codes on it but it flashed on and off before it could be read and bounced me to a notice that Windows failed to load and try a startup repair which failed.
If it is relevant, I would add that the image was taken with a very early version of IFD when .TBI files were pretty new so I don't know if they can be restored by the latest IFD (1.36a) but I had assumed so. The system is MS Vista 32 bit.
I don't know anything about boot files but I have come across mentions of things like BCD edit, boot.ini, geometry, etc and am in the dark as to what to try.

New York City Schools Chancellor Fires Board and Superintendent
In the strongest action he has taken to date against local officials under New York City's system of decentralized school governance, Schools Chancellor Nathan Quinones has ousted and replaced a community school board and its superintendent.
Mr. Quinones acted late last month, shortly after a commission he had appointed to investigate Community School District 6 issued a report charging that the district was characterized by "poor pupil performance, mismanagement, improper personnel decisions, and general lack of leadership.''
"I have determined that I cannot permit the children to continue to be the victims of [the community] board's inability to properly manage and operate [the] district's schools,'' said Mr. Quinones in announcing his decision.
In an interview last week, he described the report's conclusions as "scathing,'' but he added that "the problems of the district speak for themselves--this should come as no surprise to anyone.''
His action is the latest development in the increasingly fractious debate over the proper roles of the city's 32 community school boards, which control elementary and intermediate schools, and the central board, which has jurisdiction over the city's 111 high schools and various districtwide support programs. The state legislature, which established the decentralized system in 1969, is examining the system with an eye to correcting problems that have arisen during the past 17 years. (See Education Week, Jan. 14, 1987.)
Although Mr. Quinones's intervention was not initiated by a state body, it resembles the "academic bankruptcy'' strategy for reforming troubled districts that was endorsed by the National Governors' Association last summer. The governors suggested that, as a last resort, state officials should remove and replace local school boards and administrators when districts fail to meet educational-improvement goals. (See Education Week, Sept. 24, 1986.)
'The Children Suffered'
Some 22,000 K-8 students attend the 16 schools in District 6, which is located in upper Manhattan. Of those students, 17,000 are of Hispanic origin, and almost 8,000 are classified as having limited English proficiency, the highest proportion of LEP students among the city's community districts.
According to school-system officials, the district's facilities are the most overcrowded of any of the community districts, and for the past several years, its students have consistently performed below those in other districts on reading examinations.
Those factors, together with allegations of possible financial mismanagement, spurred Mr Quinones to convene a special review panel, made up of high-ranking central-board administrators, to investigate the management of the district and the operation of its schools and programs.
After a two-month investigation, which included visits to each of the schools, interviews with school officials and personnel and community leaders, and a review of relevant records, the task force concluded that, as a result of conditions in the district, "the education of the children has greatly suffered.''
The panel said that, among other problems:
- The district had a "pervasive'' political atmosphere that "severely distorted the behaviors of district managers and supervisors, so that there is an overall lack of coordinated planning, supervision, and communication.''
- District officials failed to evaluate programs and develop assessment procedures to identify and correct problems, particularly in bilingual and remedial-reading programs.
- There appeared to be "an absence of any recognizable management approach to the administration of the district.''
- The superintendent rarely visited schools, principals "did not regularly and actively observe their teachers,'' and the lack of supervision resulted in "an incoherent delivery of services.''
- Space within the district was "inconsistently'' utilized, and district officials resisted using available space in nearby districts, resulting in the denial of "critical'' services to pre-kindergarten and some kindergarten children.
- The selection of district personnel "appeared to be politicized ... fragmented, and marked by unclear and inadequate procedures and processes.''
- There were no comprehensive districtwide programs for staff development, despite the fact that a large proportion of the teachers in District 6 are new, inexperienced, or only temporarily certified.
- Funds were not allocated on an equal basis among schools, and nearly $2 million in state and federal funding was forfeited in the past two years because it had not been spent.
Superintendent Faulted
The nine ousted board members, who had not yet completed the first year of their three-year terms, charged that thay had not been given enough time to address the district's longstanding problems.
"I think [Mr. Quinones] didn't give the board an opportunity to get its act together,'' said Luis R. Rivera, who was president of the board.
Mr. Rivera maintained that the community board had already taken steps "to correct all this craziness.'' Before the report's release, he said, the board had already expressed its displeasure at the management of the district under its superintendent, Loyda F. Alfalla, by refusing to renew her contract, which expires this summer.
The members of the community board serve on a volunteer basis in addition to their full-time jobs, he noted, adding that "it's very difficult for us to monitor the everyday business of the district. We have to rely on the superintendent's judgment,'' he said. "Our problems lie mainly with the superintendent's failure to keep us informed.''
In particular, he said, the board first heard of the unspent state and federal funds when reviewing the chancellor's report. "We certainly would have spent it if we had known it was available,'' he said.
Ms. Alfalla could not be reached for comment last week.
Mr. Rivera and other community board members also blamed many of the district's ongoing problems on "lack of support and resources'' from the central board.
For example, he said, community boards "don't have power to build schools.'' While the central board has been aware of the overcrowding for several years, he said, they have repeatedly delayed plans to build additional facilities in the district.
The members of the deposed board are planning to file an appeal with the central board of education and, if that fails, with the state commissioner of education, according to Mr. Rivera.
"I was elected by this community to serve on this school board,'' Mr. Rivera said. "To have an appointed chancellor and board of education removing elected people from office just doesn't make sense.''
Mr. Quinones has appointed three central-office administrators as temporary trustees of the district, until he can select a full nine-member board from the local community.
The appointed board will serve for slightly more than two years, until the next scheduled elections, and will hire a superintendent to replace Anthony Amato, a high-school principal from another community district, whom Mr. Quinones appointed to the post of interim superintendent.

Must the Gun Always Fire? (And Other Rules of Writing) was the theme of Friday night's Hugo House Literary Series installment. Three writers, including the terrifically witty Anthony Doerr of Four Seasons in Rome fame, responded to a prompt fueled by one of Chekov's famous rules:
One must not put a loaded rifle on the stage if no one is thinking of firing it.
As someone who prizes organization but distrusts rules (the former is mindful, the latter merely obedient) I couldn't help but think of my time in Colombia last month. There, rules and disorganization actually go hand in hand, for where there is process, there is also evasion. Everyone knows that everyone else appears to abide by the rules while conspiring to best them. Trust between strangers is thin.
While strolling through the secure government zone in El Centro, Brad smiled when I revealed my secret street crime deterrent. Chuckling at my dented silver whistle (Seriously, Brad, you should hear this baby!) he explained that, if I was really in trouble, blowing it was unlikely to summon help from passersby. Bogotanos are not hard-hearted people, but to aid a stranger –especially in the event of a violent attack– opens the possibility of injury to oneself. In Colombia, these are the rules: take care of yourself and your loved ones, as it is unlikely that someone else will. Better to shield yourself than draw the scorch of flames meant for another.
The value of human life is thinner in Colombia; you can sense it walking around. It's not a cloudy evil or ghost of ill-will, but a hazy inward turn. People avert their eyes equally to flirtation, need or confrontation. The life –or footpath– of another matters little, which is why you'll get winged at least once a day without apology or acknowledgment that a collision has occurred.
When clipped by a fast-moving Medellina near the Plaza de Cisneros, I shouted, "Ow!" more from surprise than hurt, evoking an almost-sympathetic giggle from someone next to me. Like all injury (Que pena! What did you do?) the fault derived from my lack not hers (I should have avoided her path); when we forget the rules, we receive our just desserts. The woman didn't flinch at my complaint, not even an eyelash. Colombia's rules are layered: there are the written and spoken guidelines, and then there are rules that are quietly implied and silently understood. Only after you have broken them, sometimes irreparably, do you learn that they exist.
I arrived aware of many such rules, some of them my own, others hand-me-downs: do not use iPhones or cameras in public, do not flag down taxis on the street, do not wear open-toed shoes in Bogotá, do not carry all of my money or credit cards when going out. Some friends insisted that, if I was being tailed, I should turn around and face the person while others believed the opposite. One person suggested looking into hostage insurance. While walking between Brad's apartment and a restaurant called Chopinar one night, we traversed a few sketchy blocks and sketchy people who had me running through these rules: Step confidently. Look them in the eye. Or, don't look them in the eye. One of the two. Keep moving. Stay close to Brad. Should I have bought hostage insurance? If they demand money, I'll hand it over without a fight. Forget using my whistle.
During my first few days in Bogotá, I was on high alert trying to abide by these and other local codes. Good morning, good day, good evening — the distinction matters. Que pena or perdóne, not lo siento. Con gusto not encantada. One cheek kiss, not two. On the street, I kept a casual but constant scan on my purse and my surroundings, which were constantly abuzz with people and traffic. At the same time, my lungs and brain were adapting to the high elevation, whose thinner concentration of oxygen and abundant pollutants left me wheezing from time to time. Brad and I played language games, me testing Spanish words and him confirming or correcting, as we came upon signs and directions and objects. The whole time, a husky sotto voce whispered: You're on your own, mija. Stay frosty and alert.
Reading my mind on our way back to the Art Hotel in Medellín, Brad asked what I would do if he disappeared. Would I know how to find my way from Medellín to Bogotá? In Bogotá, how would I get into his apartment? At first, I was irritated – was he toying with me? No, he was checking to see if I was prepared, if I had read the rule book, or if I was relying solely on him. As we walked uphill in the tropical afternoon air, I produced the card with the hotel's address, and confirmed that I remembered the route back through the Poblado neighborhood. I had cash for the 60,000 peso taxi ride to the Medellín airport. I had our flight number and departure time, and more cash for the Bogotá airport taxi. I had Brad's address. I had Enrique's phone number to get Brad's spare key. The doormen at Brad's building knew me and would let me inside. The rules meant leaving nothing to chance. They meant knowing the steps one by one that would bring me safely back to Brad's bower in Chapinero and eventually home. They meant paying acute attention at all times, everywhere.
On journeys like these, when safety is questionable, rules are abundant and oxygen is spare, beauty becomes an important cure-all. It may not be possible to have complete peace of mind, meaning a passive urban existence, on the streets of Medellín or Bogotá, but their beacons of colorful graffiti make a person feel connected and cherished in spite of the chaos. Art is an offering, a means of dialogue about the things in daily life that go unacknowledged: love, war, drugs, poverty, politics, family, history, economics, assault. They are attempts to communicate rather than turn away. Some are memorials meant to call attention to the artists slain while making their art.
Once you know what to look for, you see them all over the city, commissioned works on restaurants or commercial storefronts, splashes of color on freeway walls, lively paintings in alleys, nooks and crannies. The murals are effective deterrents to taggers, proving that beauty is a universal symbol that the vulnerable, human part in each of us is loathe to destroy, no matter what else we put asunder.
Some of Bogotá's muralists are university professors, a few are women, several work in groups; each artist's style and message is different. What holds them together is their use of aesthetics to spark a deeper awareness. Their power is evident in your gut when you realize that the playful stenciled silhouette of a boy is not holding balloons but hand grenades with the pins pulled, a nod to children pressed into warfare. A large multi-colored bird bursting into three dimensions makes more sense when you discover it was painted by a woman who was brutally raped, her art a means of rising from a violent past. There's magic in their colors and meaning in their forms that some could dismiss as mere graffiti, but it's not. It's so much more.
When people ask why I liked Bogotá, I point to this spirit: that life goes on there because it must, that beauty happens there because it must, that people climb to the top of Monserrate on the pilgrim trail because they must, that street vendors sell mobile phone minutes and sliced fruit to feed their families because they must. Despite Bogotá's history of violence, political instability, drug wars and corruption, I love the undeniable endurance of its people, impossible to quash.
Maybe it's the constant current of cool breezes beneath the intense sunshine that feeds Bogotá's undercurrent of optimism. The very movement of the air suggests that things are in motion, always changing, that the Bogotá you know today will retain a sense of itself as it evolves into something different tomorrow and the day after that. It's a city whose change bears watching.
Maybe I enjoyed Bogotá because I've always been drawn to juxtaposition, because I see beauty in hard places. I loved watching couples speed by on bicycles when Carrera 7 was closed to traffic for Ciclovía, the same street that Brad and I played pedestrian Frogger on near his house, dodging fast-moving vehicles across six lanes. I loved choking on exhaust-polluted air on one street and entering a sky-high fresh fruit and vegetable market on the next. I loved the gritty parks that were busy with lunching uniformed workers by day and flocks of men on their way to neon-lit gay bars at night.
Maybe I loved being surrounded by chance. I secretly thrilled at riding the unofficial busses, knowing that they would take off while we were still stepping inside, the door open precariously behind us as the driver's wife took our money before we moved through the turnstile, trying not to fall as the bus tumbled over potholes and screeched to a halt at red lights. I loved hanging onto the ceiling-mounted panic bars in taxis as they swerved in and out of traffic, gritting my teeth and feeling naked without a seatbelt as we sped through the city. I loved the thudding fear in my chest as we swung from gondola cables and funicular wires, facing the deep trepidations I avoid easily at home.
Mine are not new feelings about Bogotá. Brad's wonderfully charming friends shared an equal number of stories about loving and struggling with life in this circus of a city. Navigating its rules –socially, politically, economically and interpersonally– takes stamina not required in other places. To live in Bogotá requires a strong constitution and the ability to find beauty in its choppy sidewalks even after taking a tumble. There's a lesson available in every experience; chances are you'll lean on that knowledge again and often — or pay the price.
Bogotá made good use of my street smarts, but I was fortunate, too – nothing bad happened that left a mark, like a car accident, a broken cable, a mugging, a palm sliced open by a dagger. A swirling eddy of fortune and fortitude are as endemic to life in Colombia as its system of rules. This is why, after absorbing everyone's advice, I left Bogotá with a single tenet of my own –a loaded rifle on the stage that, by Chekov's rule, I must eventually fire– and that is to return some day.

Without captain Jackson Martínez, recently injured against Braga, and Óliver Torres only fit for the bench, there were some questions marks about the Dragons' ability to beat a side that both Real Madrid and Liverpool had found to be tricky. As it turns out, Julen Lopetegui's charges put in the performance of the season so far and will have certainly put some of their names on the radar of bigger European teams.
- The unstoppable force from the Cameroon
Vincent Aboubakar was brought in at the beginning of the season both to provide cover for Jackson Martínez and give him the opportunity to slowly learn the ropes in order to take the Colombian striker's place when he eventually moved away to greener pastures. Even though his goals per minute ratio was certainly impressive, the Cameronian hadn't played that much this season and there were some question marks here about whether he would be able to find his stride in such lofty environments.
Aboubakar was indeed fundamental to the night's outcome, and he proved as much right from the start. With FC Basel seemingly willing to press from the front - their 4x2x3x1 fitted perfectly into FC Porto's 4x3x3 - FC Porto's centre-backs were forced to resort several times to long balls and the striker did not disappoint, effectively linking up play with his team-mates. The 47 passes he received throughout the match painted the perfect picture.
As has often been the case, for all the ball possession FC Porto actually looked more dangerous on the counterpressing - i.e. when they won the ball immediately after giving it away. The first goal, on 14 minutes, was the perfect example as Casemiro made a well-timed tackle and then played a probing pass into Cristian Tello, who ended up being fouled. Brahimi's expertly taken free kick was the first of four delightful goals.
- Solid improvements across the board
FC Porto had been looking better over the past few weeks and the wins against Sporting and Braga certainly didn't hurt matters, but there remained a few doubts about the team's ability whenever the going got tougher. Given how the team had struggled to create many chance against Basel and that a 1-1 scoreline was a tricky scoreline, both teams's approach was something of a mystery. Basel's initial attempt at pressing high up quickly fizzled out, but FC Porto consolidated all the marginal gains from the past weeks.
There were two things in particular that made a significant difference. On one hand, both Evandro and Herrera were much more willing to penetrate enemy lines and drag their direct markers out of position, thus creating confusion about which Basel player should be marking whom. This had the knock-on effect of putting more FC Porto players near the ball when it was given away and consequently allowing the Dragons to exert greater control over the match, which has not always been the case so far.
On the other hand, both Tello and Brahimi - for all their attacking forays - were willing to track back, unlike what has often happened this season, stopping Basel to hit the wings, particularly on the break. All of this compounded Basel's misery and stopped them in their tracks as the Swiss side were never able to find their groove and, as time went on, started subsiding.
- Dragons discover central virtue
A 1-0 scoreline was good, but it was not exactly an insurance policy, since a goal from Basel would level things. As it were, Brahimi made another one of his darting runs down the left (which had already brought him a few bruises during the first half) and slid the ball to Herrera, who had no trouble dispatching the ball into Vaclík's far corner. Whatever doubts remained were quickly and surely disappearing.
However, perhaps the most important point to take from this match is FC Porto's change of tack as far as the attacking approach is concerned. Unlike what happened against Braga and Sporting, for instance, today there were virtually no aimless crosses thrown into the box, despite Aboubakar's physical presence.
In fact, the chances created from open play throughout the match spoke for themselves and showed the patter to exhaustion: Initiate attacks down the wings to attract the opponents there and then find the pockets of space in the middle. This time around, there were even midfielders supporting those runs, with the rest of players close by just in case.
In the end, Casemiro and Aboubakar would score another two gems, the Brazilian midfielder with a piledriver from 30 yards out and the Cameronian striker with a fine solo run that made for possibly the goal of the evening. However, the most impressive tonight was certainly FC Porto's ability to leave their indelible mark on what will certainly be remembered as one of the club's magical nights in the Champions League. A fifth presence in the competition's quarter-finals was guaranteed and the display that led to it will certainly have supporters gagging for what's to come against Europe's stronger sides.

There are times when one might look around and realize they need a change in their home. A great way to update is to use tiles, as there are many different options for using tiles in any space of the home. What's the best part of using tiles? They range from inexpensive to very expensive per square foot, which means there are a lot of options; who doesn't like options?
One of the most popular ways to add jazz to a room is in the kitchen using wall tiles. Mosaic tiles are best for this type of project as they are smaller. It's possible to create an absolutely beautiful back splash in your kitchen and really wow guests. It's a small and doable job that can completely change the way a kitchen looks. Some like to go for a polished-glam look with a back splash. One idea might be to use soft, neutral colours throughout the home. A ceramic back-splash with a glaze is very attractive to the eye and really pops when combined with this type of look. It's amazing what a difference a change like this can make.
Let's say someone moves into a home that has an unfinished basement. In this case, floor tiles are a nice option if carpet isn't what they're looking for. If there are kids in the house, and it's an older home that has had leaks from the bathrooms up above, tile is a safer choice. Quarry tile is a natural and durable tile, and some people are thankful for the traction it creates for kids running around with a lot of energy. Something to remember is that basements can be cold, so a nice area rug can be thrown over the tile to warm up the room, or separate the living space from the kids' "play-space". Also, if there is ever a leak from the pipes, the entire basement isn't ruined, because wet carpet can have a terrible odour.
After living in quite a few different homes, people might start to notice that when it comes to bathroom tiles, the colour scheme is important. It can make a difference in how clean a bathroom appears. Some homes have tiles that use a nice combination of brown colours that possess a nice texture, which also masks dirt and debris. It's possible to forget that it needs cleaning. If there are tiles that are a much lighter colour such as off-white, it may get frustrating trying to keep up with the constant dirt that appears. So although lighter colours provide a light, airy, clean look, in theory, unless the occupant of the space is rarely home, it becomes extremely obnoxious to deal with; colour of the tile is important to think about
There are so many choices between colour, shape, and material that the possibilities are endless. Another project idea to tackle is using Mirror tiles, which are tiles made from mirrors. This should only be used for a certain ambiance. A bathroom is probably the first place someone might think to use mirror tiles, and rightfully so; it might be a great idea to use these in the shower. It's a pretty look; very rich and chic in its reflective qualities.
Now get started! Search on the internet, and even explore friends' and families' homes. Sometimes it's hard to visualize just how these projects will turn out, but exploring will give you a better idea. Just make sure to properly educate yourself and bring home samples; it will be much easier to see the end project. It can be very rewarding and save a lot of money to be able to do these projects yourself, just start small and remember the sky is the limit.

Unlock Your Dream Home this September!
Renovating a home always presents design challenges: paint or panelling for walls, treatments for floors, determining the kind of counter tops to use, bathtub and shower styles, and the lists continues on and on. Tile can offer an amazing array of unique looks that can liven up anyone's home. Especially when you consider that tile doesn't have to be just in the kitchen and bath.
Using tile to build a shower in the bath gives the opportunity to play with colour in ways few other methods can compete with. If a bathroom is all white, a focal wall with a contrasting colour inside the shower adds compelling visual interest. Extend that colour to the floor and shower curb to create an inviting niche to step into for cleaning up. The tiles available today offer limitless colour combinations. Choose the same tile in close shades of the same colour family. When mixed on the wall or ceiling, this has the potential to create a watercolour effect worthy of a master.
Redecorating a bathroom that is small has extra challenges built in to keep it from feeling cramped. Using single colour in a light shade of tile throughout can help reduce the feel of being in a tight space. Choosing narrow tile and installing it on the vertical will create the illusion that the ceiling is much higher than it really is. If some kind of visual interest is still desired, look for tiles that have matching wainscoting. Some styles of tile have a variety of wainscoting that can be mixed and matched to add interest even when only a single colour is in use. With different base and top cap options, choose one type of wainscot as a baseboard, another at chair rail height, and a third for ceiling moulding. If tile is used to face the outside of the bathtub or shower curb, consider some kind of tile wainscoting for that, as well.
Kitchens are perfect for putting tile to use and are great places to play with colour. A monochromatic kitchen with a tile counter that extends into its own baseboard is a great technique to add contrasting colour to the rest of the decorating scheme. The walls themselves can also be tiled floor to ceiling, promising even the messiest families easy clean-ups. The wall tile doesn't need to be a shy neutral colour, either. Tone down a bold colour for the walls by choosing neutrals everywhere else without taking away from the impact. This same rule works for bathrooms, too.
Checkerboard patterns with tile on kitchen floors are an absolute classic. Echo that with smaller tiles on the walls and it creates the perfect setting for going modern chic or retro kitsch depending on the appliances and accents chosen. If tuxedo colours don't appeal, consider any other colour to go with the white as a funky and personalised look.
Tiles shouldn't be delegated only to the bathroom and kitchen, either. High traffic hallways and entries with tile surrounded by a wide, hardwood border doesn't just look fantastic, but the ease of cleaning tile makes it a great choice as well. Mudrooms and laundry/utility rooms also benefit from having tile floors. Especially in a laundry room, extending the tile at least part way up the wall is a great way to protect the walls from splashes. A mudroom's function is to take a lot of messy abuse, so utilizing tile for the floors is a practical choice. Large pieces of stone tile work well on walls instead of plain wood panelling, or combine wood and tile to make an elegant statement. Fireplace tile instead of brick is another way of introducing an unexpected feature in a room around a hearth.
Floors are one of those room elements that get only as much attention as is absolutely necessary. If a pattern decided for the floor can't end neatly where it meets the wall, keep going! Hardwood floors come in herringbone and parquetry patterns; there is nothing to stop the innovative designer from doing the same with tile.
Using tile as design elements is a viable option in almost any room of the home. More and more options of making beautiful personal statements while still maintaining functionality is provided by the use of tiles on floors, walls, even ceilings. Tile lends well to unusual pairings especially with wood and marble counters. Making the possibilities limited only by the imagination.

WINE updated to version 3.0 – Great update for Gamers thanks to Direct3D 10 and 11 support and more!
Linux and MacOS users rejoice as your favourite game may now be playable without having to boot into Windows. Thanks to the hard work of the WINE team and many contributors, we now have WINE 3.0 to give us a better Linux/Mac gaming experience!
What is WINE? Why should I be interested in it?
WINE is an emulation layer for Windows applications/games that runs on most Linux distributions and MacOS. It's been in active development for years upon years and with various free companion applications such as PlayOnLinux and PlayOnMac, it's also been made available for non-techy people that don't like the idea of tinkering too much.
Thanks to WINE, you can migrate to Linux or MacOS and still keep on using your favourite applications and games. While game compatibility wasn't always the best, it's greatly improved over the past 2 years so if you're not much of a heavy gamer, WINE may actually be enough for your gaming needs. Popular titles like Overwatch are now said to be playable but your mileage may vary as always.
What got added/updated in version 3.0?
WINE version 3.0 brings about the following important features:
- Direct3D 10 and 11 support so you can play games that require Windows Vista and newer.
- Direct3D command stream.
- Improved DirectWrite and Direct2D support for better performance in your 2D games.
- Windows 7 is now the default version reported to applications when running/installing them.
- Applications now look much better on HiDPI displays
- Much more
As you can see, this is a pretty major update and may potentially fix some games that were previously buggy or unplayable so it is recommended you grab it ASAP.
To get WINE 3.0, you can use your Linux distro's package or update manager or you can wait for the companion application you use to be updated to automatically grab the required files. If you have issues, report them on WINE's bugzilla.

One of the most exciting things you will probably ever do is to raise children of your own. This article provides advice on some of the most common parenting concerns.
If you are an expectant parent, remember that it is not necessary to spend obscene amounts of money on furnishing your nursery. It is possible to buy high quality cribs, changing tables, blankets and other baby paraphernalia for much less money at department stores like Walmart. Family and friends also serve as a great resource for gently used items.
Consider what you are actually saying to your child. You will want to gain the trust of your children.
If you bring a small child along on your travels, try to eat and go to bed at about the same time he does at home. Infants and children are often very stressed by the disruption of schedules traveling causes. When you keep them in their proper bedtime routines and mealtimes, you will help them adjust better to the different environments they are in. This will keep them happy so you can relax and get the sleep you need and they need as well.
As a parent, you know how important it is to spend time with your child, but it is equally important to have some time to yourself. This allows you the keep your own identity, as well as that of being a parent.
You should never give your infant or toddler any kind of soft drinks because of the acids, chemicals and caffeine that they contain. Only provide drinks that are full of nutrients and vitamins, for example milk, water, or sugar free juice.
Retro-reflective materials are very beneficial and an upgrade to the traditional backpack for your child. You can purchase this reflective material in Velcro-ed strips that are easy to apply and remove. This helps crossing guards and drivers see your kids better, especially when it's early in the morning.
The best way to keep the peace among your children is to establish family rules that are both clear and positive. For example, telling your children to touch each other gently is more positive than telling them they can't hit.
If you are going to take your children on a long road trip, stop as often as you can to keep them from getting too cranky. Although people may want to reach a destination quickly, children will be easier to deal with when they can run off steam. Keep your eyes peeled for restaurants that have playgrounds, parks, and nice open fields where your kids can take a break and burn off a little unneeded energy.
Hopefully these tips give you some ideas about parenting. It should give you a small foundation to think about and to build upon. Try to remember that each person has a unique parenting style. There is no best way to raise a child that is always right. Among these tips, take to heart the ones that sound useful, and give them a try. Appreciate the moments you share with your children, they grow up before you know it.

PhD: Phobos and Deimos
Labels: mars
Adventures in Space/Time
Labels: mars
This area of research is among the most difficult for me to sort out what is real and what is fact, but I do sympathize with your approach to what we may still expand on in our understanding of science and the world.
We are playing with ideas on ideas none of which are yet confirmed explicitly. In my own take on things I find reasons to doubt that we are doing more than operating with too little a generalization. All as a matter of interpretation.
I do not necessarily think our ideas on magnetism or the transfer of momenta between black hole like objects is a key fact one way or the other.
If this is a true physical phenomenon I also see new and strange consequences. I recall long ago reading The Hollow Earth arguments and knowing how it simply was not true how convincing it was a read.
So I will try to ask a question that makes sense. Can such effects of such an object (which may not be a hollow object but replete with structure in the vacuum) influence say our sister planets? That is, would we observe certain anomalies tied to earth in the moons of Mars?
Regarding what's going on in the earth's core, I've just found some research having to do with there being a nuclear reactor down there. It seems that keeping the earth's magnetic field running requires massive amounts of power, more power than we can explain. See discussion on physics stack exchange: http://physics.stackexchange.com/q/7004/1272.
But they've not found the right number of anti-neutrinos. So maybe they have it half right and the energy source is down there, but from a black hole instead of radiation. Hmmm.
It boils down to one thing; can you get the He-3 from a black hole? That would explain the Hawaii basalt data and the lack of anti-neutrinos. See http://arxiv.org/abs/1011.3568 and http://geoscience.lngs.infn.it/Program/Pdf_presentations/Maricic.pdf
Hello all! For Pesla, there are a few papers on solar system anomalies. In particular, the "Flyby Anomaly" may be an indicator of a Black Hole in the Earth.
For carl: The dynamo models of Earth's core would grind to a halt due to the enormous friction in the core. A little Black Hole, however, would keep things spinning nicely.
Kea: Thanks again for the links and encouragement!

Dear Mr. Kuehhas:
I wish to thank you on behalf of the many residents that attended your wonderful and informative presentation on the American Revolutionary War. You certainly have proven that learning at any age can be fun. I was very impressed with your in depth knowledge of the historical period and your concise and informative delivery style. Whether the participants in the audience were seasoned history buffs or knew very little about the subject matter, clearly everyone equally enjoyed the presentation. Your sense of humor and the many anecdotes that were provided throughout the program also helped to maintain a high level of interest among the participants.
Many of our residents indicated that they really enjoyed the hands on segment of your presentation. The wide selection of Revolutionary War reproductions that they were able to touch and view was especially enlightening and helped to encourage less verbal individuals to be actively involved in the program. It definitely was a picture perfect moment at the conclusion of your presentation when residents had the opportunity to actually try on a uniform from the Revolutionary period.
Again, Mr. Kuehhas thank you for the outstanding presentation. We look forward to a return visit and future historical programs.

Some long-time AS/400 software vendors aren't breeding Big Blue exclusively any more.
Instead, to better compete in the tight enterprise resource planning market, they are beginning to develop for Unix and Windows NT server.
"These vendors aren't departing the AS/400, but protecting user investments in the application software as other platforms become an option," said John Logan, an analyst at the Boston-based Aberdeen Group.
For example, JD Edwards & Co next month will ship the latest update to its OneWorld applications suite, which lets users work on Unix, Windows NT or the mainframe, and integrates with the AS/400-only World software suite.
This is a double-edged sword for loyal users of the venerable IBM mid-range platform.
On one hand, it may seem to users that their main application vendors, the backbone of the AS/400's integrated technology selling point, are rushing from the AS/400.
But at the same time, vendors can use the new revenue to better support existing AS/400 shops and integrate the AS/400 with other platforms.
JD Edwards and UK-based JBA International are also moving ahead to develop their own object technology to help transport data between platforms.

No, it's not Biff and Muffy's new home. It's a pop up retail with a preppy twist.
According to Showbiz-i, Tommy Hilfiger, in a collaboration with Preppy Handbook author Lisa Birnbach, have built an 800 square foot traveling beach cottage which will serve as a pop up retail store.
The cottage debuts next month in Manhattan. It will then pop up in Paris, Milan, Amsterdam, Stockholm, Tokyo, Madrid and Belgium–because foreign cultures long to be exposed to old school New England values (as interpreted by a fashion brand, like Ralph Lauren, with no real roots in that world).

Each step of the creation of this chocolate impacts the aromas and as a result you will taste an unique chocolate. We use single origin and organic cocoa beans from the Toledo District, Belize. Cacao is intercropped with timber trees, bananas and avocados. The beans are fermented in wooden boxes, solar dried and hand sorted. Once we receive the beans we sort manually each cocoa bean and we get rid of broke, flat, small or too dried beans that could impact negative the chocolate aromas. We use our unique profile of roasting which means that the time and temperature are adapted to take out the best flavors of this cocoa origin. The grinding is made slowly on natural stones, for days. In this time the cocoa beans are grounded, conched and then mixed with organic unrefined cane sugar at specific intervals of time.
We recommend you to taste also our 70% Guatemala Bean To Bar Dark Craft Chocolate in order to make the difference between origins aromas and flavors.
Inside the wrap you will find a guide on how to taste fine chocolate, made by Claudia Patachia, our founder, chocolate maker and level 2 certified chocolate taster, by International Institute of Chocolate and Cacao Tasting, UK.

Very interesting interview. I have not heard of "conservatarianism," but Cooke seems to focus on Federalism, which is supposed to be what separates the right from the left. I do think if we can unite the Republicans and the Libertarians under the concept of Federalism, we could move this country in a positive direction. Cooke gets bonus points for Milton Friedman references.

Net Neutrality
by deFROST • • 0 Comments
From our friends at Reason Magazine – here is an interview with FCC's Ajit Pai, discussing the drawbacks of so-called "Net Neutrality." The FCC voted today to bring regulation of the internet into its domain, which SHOULD be a scary prospect for anyone who believes in the freedom of the internet. You can find the accompanying article below or here.
In a 3-2 vote today, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) voted to radically overhaul the way Internet service is provided. FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler and the commission's two Democratic commissioners voted to move forward with the rules. The agency's two GOP-appointed commissioners opposed them.
Under the new rules, broadband providers, long classified by the agency as Title I information services, will now be regulated as Title II telecommunications services—essentially making them public utilities, like the phone system. The move is designed to allow the FCC to implement strict net neutrality rules limiting how much control Internet service providers (ISPs) can exert over what passes over their networks.
Today's vote is the result of a lengthy process begun by Chairman Wheeler roughly a year ago, and that process came in the wake of two previous efforts in which the agency's net neutrality rules were struck down in court. But the end result of the vote was largely set near the end of last year, when President Obama released a statement calling for the agency to implement the strongest possible net neutrality rules.
Obama's statement, itself somewhat atypical in its attempt to publicly influence an independent regulatory agency, followed a long, secret effort inside the White House, in which administration staffers acted, as The Wall Street Journal reported, "like a parallel version of the FCC." Wheeler had been considering less restrictive rules, but changed his course after the president's statement.
Today's vote will mean that Wheeler's proposal, which has been kept secret up until now, will finally be released to the public. And it likely means that the FCC will push forward with clarifying and implementing the details of Wheeler's proposal.
It is also virtually certain to result in another court battle—one that the FCC may well lose, as Berin Szoka of Tech Freedom, which opposes Wheeler's plan, has argued. At minimum, the proposal will be challenged and, over time, probably redefined.
In the meantime, though, it means that the FCC has taken an unprecedented and fear-reaching step in order to make good on one of the Obama administration's long-running political priorities—a step that solves no significant existing problem, but is instead designed largely to fend off hypothetical harms, and give the agency far more power over the Internet in the process. As FCC Commissioner Ajit Pai, a Republican appointee who opposes the Wheeler plan, told ReasonTV, the move is a "solution that won't work to a problem that doesn't exist." It is a solution, however, that is now in place, and is sure to create some problems of its own.

The photo below was given to me by my relative Margaret Creighton who lives in Australia. It shows my great great grandparents Charles and Emily Abram (nee Hutchings) surrounded by many of their children and their children's families. When Margaret gave me the photo, she told me her husband used to refer to it as 'the pommie mafia'. I love this photo to pieces but can absolutely see where he was coming from on this.
Back row, from left to right: Will, Frank, Water, Mabel, Albert, George, Louis, Reg, Will (Millie's husband), Bet-Martha (Louis's wife), George (Frank's son),
Front row, left to right: Gladys (daughter), Alice (Will's wife), Vera (Will's daughter, Emily, Violet, Charles, Kit (Albert's wife) Gwen (Albert's daughter), Millie, Annie (Frank's wife)
Margaret's father was Reginald (Reg) Abram and is pictured on the back row of the photo. Charles and Emily who were married in 1880, are pictured front and centre, with their youngest daughter Violet, seated in between them Violet was born in 1906 and lived to celebrate her 100th birthday in 2006.
When asked about the photo in her 100th year, Violet re-called a number of things. The photo was taken not long after Walter and Mabel's wedding and one of the brothers, George had come over from America to visit. The dress that Violet wore was of blue velvet.
Charlie Abram, my great grandfather, was not in the photo because he was in Africa serving in the war. Violet remembered that Charlie had been married prior to marrying my great grandmother Millicent May Bowers and that his first wife had been a 'dark skinned lady'. (Records show that Joseph's first wife was Lucy Thompson, her father was William was a gardener and her mother was called Harriet. Joseph and Lucy married on 16 April 1906).
Violet said she was about the same age as Gladys (Frank's daughter) but Gladys had died aged 29. She noticed that Theresa, who they called Sis, wasn't in the picture but she couldn't remember why and that Kit and Albert's son Sonny had also died young but was unsure at what age. Also, that there was at least two other siblings but that they had died – one was a female named Mary the other was a male but she did not know his name.
After the war, Charles and Emily and my great grandparents Charlie and Millicent settled in England but many of the family emigrated to Australia. Violet re-called that Rose (Kathleen) was not in the photo as she was already in Australia – she had left with her husband, an Australian soldier, around 1919 (see newspaper article below).
Reg followed in approximately 1922 – 1923 and Louis, Bet-Martha and Violet left around Christmas 1924, arriving in Australia on 9 February 1925. They sailed aboard the Ship Esperance Bay on it's maiden voyage, which was later turned into a battle ship in the Second World War and sunk. Violet was only seventeen at the time and is believed to have traveled as Louis and Bet-Martha's daughter. George didn't want them to go and had tried to convince them along with Charles, Emily and other family members to go to America.

If you've ever tried to make a reservation at Noma, the fabled restaurant on the Copenhagen waterfront, you were probably put on a long waiting list with 50,000 others (true story!). After being adjudged the World's Best Restaurant in 2010, Noma was on every foodie's bucket list.
However, Noma's superchef René Redzepi has decided to bring the world-famous eatery down to its knees, and start from scratch again. The restaurant closed in early 2017, but should be back in business by early 2018. Redzepi is shifting Noma from the waterfront address of Strandgade 93 to an abandoned yard in Copenhagen's Christiania.
Redzepi has auctioned every piece of furniture from the restaurant on the auction block—from chairs and tables, to smørrebrød plates and vases. The Chicago-based auction house Wright hosted the event on November 2.
Patrons, however, can look forward to dining at Noma 2.0 soon. The new and improved eatery will stay true to its roots, as far as the food goes, says Redzepi. The restaurant, which created buzz for 'New Nordic Cuisine', will still rustle up the local specialties, but the menu is expected to change with the seasons.
Some back-of-the-envelope math suggests that the 500-lot auction raked in more than $350,000 for Noma and the auction house.
Some of the notable purchases include a set of four dining chairs from Niels O. Møller and J.L. Møllers Møbelfabrik in Denmark that sold for $12,500; a communal dining table from SPACE Copenhagen that brought in a cool $16,250. A stunning Aage and Kasper Würtz "monumental" floor vase brought in for $11,250.
Reservations for Noma 2.0 will open on November 16, 2017.
