You can install and run Ubuntu from within Windows without any risk of accidentally deleting your existing programs and files by using Wubi, an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users. Unlike UNetbootin, which installs Linux on a hard disk partition, Wubi works by installing Ubuntu within a file stored on your Windows drive, and adding itself to the Windows boot.ini file to allow you to choose between Windows and Linux at boot time.
Wubi is based on Ubuntu 8.04 Long Term Support (LTS), which will be released this April. Both Wubi and Ubuntu 8.04 are available now in stable beta versions.
You can install Wubi by downloading Ubuntu 8.04, burning it to a CD-ROM, and running the installer included on disc, or you can download the 10MB Wubi installer and run it. That approach may be a little slower, as Wubi has to download the installation files it needs over the Internet, rather than from a local CD image.
Wubi requires a system with a processor of at least 1GHz, at least 256MB of RAM, Windows 98 or newer (although Windows 2000 and above is recommended), and a minimum of 4GB of free disk space. For my test, I used an Acer Aspire 5315 laptop equipped with an Intel Celeron M 540 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, and Windows Vista Home Basic.
You install and remove Wubi the same way you work with any other Windows application, which is great if you're new to Linux and aren't yet comfortable with partitioning or dual booting. I downloaded the latest Ubuntu beta ISO image, burned it to a blank CD, and inserted it into my laptop. The Windows autorun program appeared, and displays options for Demo and full installation, Install inside Windows, and Learn More. I chose the option to install Ubuntu within Windows. The installer gave me an option to change the installation drive and set the amount of space to reserve for Ubuntu. It prompted for which language to use, and what username I wanted to log in as. I kept all of the default options as they were; I only needed to set my password and click Install before I was ready to go.
Installation took only about 10 minutes. When I rebooted my machine, an option to boot Ubuntu was added to my Windows boot list, and after selecting it, Ubuntu started loading just as it would if installed on a dedicated drive. I was even given the normal GRUB menu.
After the operating system finished loading, it started another install process within Ubuntu, which took an additional five minutes or so. The second installation ran through partitioning and installing packages. Once the second install routine was complete, my machine rebooted a second time, and I finally saw the Ubuntu login screen.
My new Ubuntu install allowed me to do everything I can do in a dedicated install, such as download and install applications and updates, browse the Internet, check email, play music, and configure my themes. Ubuntu's flashy desktop effects also worked as expected.
The performance of Wubi was equal to that of a dedicated Ubuntu install, with the exception of slightly slower hard-drive seek times. If your Windows host drive is heavily fragmented, you can expect an even greater slowdown. On my machine the difference was barely noticeable, as I always keep my Windows drive as defragmented as I can. glxgears showed that I have the same level of hardware acceleration as I would if I had a dedicated install; yet when I tested 3-D games such as PlanetPenguin Racer and Neverball, some of the textures were corrupted.
The only downside I could find was that I was unable to access files stored on my Windows drive from Ubuntu; it appeared not to be mounted under Wubi. Running fdisk -l didn't show me the host drive either. The ability to view files stored on the Windows drive would have been nice, and it would've been nicer if Wubi integrated my home folder in Ubuntu with the My Documents folder in Windows.
Once you're comfortable with your new Ubuntu installation, you can transfer it to a dedicated drive or even overwrite Windows by using Loopmounted Virtual Partition Manager. That process requires downloading a .deb package, installing it, clicking on the icon for LVPM located under Applications -> System Tools, and finally selecting the "transfer" option. LVPM requires that you already have a spare partition to install to; if you don't, you'll need to create one.
Overall, Wubi provides an alternative for those who would like to try Ubuntu without the slow performance of a live CD or the responsibility of partitioning a hard drive. Wubi includes most features of a typical Ubuntu install, is painless to set up, and can later be transferred to a dedicated drive without any loss of installed applications, settings, or files.

The Feast of the Transfiguration is deeply meaningful to me, though I am not sure that I can explain just why. As with many things of Faith, by God’s grace, my understanding develops and changes over time. In a sense, it is “transfigured”.
I read somewhere the idea that Christ Himself did not change when He, Peter, James and John went up the mountain. Rather, it was the disciples’ vision that changed. In that moment we call the Transfiguration, they were able to see who Jesus was in His fullness and who He had always been. All at once, their eyes had been opened.
I do not know if that is true – but I can relate to the idea. As I have written here more than once, I often find myself suddenly seeing something that seems to have always been right there. I did not know I had been going about with my eyes closed, but apparently I had.
Sometimes it seems that I have to bump into things and feel pain before I realize that this is what I am doing. Otherwise it is simply too easy to keep wandering through life with closed eyes.
Were the disciples like me in this sense, thinking they knew who Jesus was but needing to have their eyes opened? Or did God plan a special revelation to these three for some other reason?
Perhaps such a distinction does not matter. God is continuously revealing Himself to us. For Him, “a moment” is as nothing – or it is eternal. He need not start or stop anything. But we, we who are stuck in time and blinded by sin, we often cannot see what is always being shown to us.
On that mountain, a great revealing occurred. Indeed, a revealing of such extraordinary proportions that, aside from the Resurrection itself, little more is of greater significance in the tide of human history.
As I may have mentioned before, one of the things I sometimes struggle with as a lifelong Catholic Christian is that over-familiarity with certain Scriptures results in my no longer responding with amazement to what is truly astounding.
And so this evening, I was grateful to have experienced a bit of Scripture freshly, despite having undoubtedly heard it many times before. Apparently, while walking about with my eyes closed, I often have my ears closed as well.
Before reading and reprinting this short passage for you, I might add that I just completed my reading of, When the Church Was Young: Voices of the Early Fathers, by Marcellino D’Ambrosio Ph.D. (I hope to eventually write a review of the book on Amazon – 5 stars without a doubt.) As I read of the people and dilemmas of the early Church, I discovered that my relationship with the Church was being transformed.
Now, when I read or hear a passage written by one of the Apostles or Church Fathers, I am impacted in a manner that is notably different. Somehow, it feels as though I have received a communication about the Faith from a old friend whom I trust. Characters who had been two-dimensional to me before have now become three-dimensional – and alive.
It was not any cleverly invented myths that we were repeating when we brought you the knowledge of the power and the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ; we had seen his majesty for ourselves. He was honored and glorified by God the Father, when the Sublime Glory itself spoke to him and said, “This is my Son, the Beloved; he enjoys my favor.” We heard this ourselves, spoken from heaven, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
So we have confirmation of what was said in the prophecies; and you will be right to depend on prophecy and take it as a lamp for lighting a way through the dark until the dawn comes and the morning star rises in your minds.
My friend, Peter, tells me that he was there, on the holy mountain, and he saw this with his own eyes. No doubt he did not fully understand what it meant at the time and surely he was still weak and afraid.
But his life was changed. How could it not be?
And so my life too is changed. Seeing through his eyes, my own eyes become just a little more open.
This entry was posted in Uncategorized on August 7, 2015 by mary.
And my eyes were opened just now, though on a less lofty level: could it be that, rather than a weak, tentative, partial affirmation, the word “maybe” is a shortened version of your closing prayer? Perhaps so.
Be that as it may, may your prayer be so.
P.S. Don’t mind the levity, Mary. Sometimes it takes me a while to address important thoughts directly. What you have sad here is very important to me. I especially liked, and will take to heart, the passage from Peter’s letter. In the past I had simply accepted the Transfiguration as one of many markers in the church year. Like transubstantion, it gradually became just another big word. Now I am getting my eyes opened a bit.
I always appreciate your comments, Al. They make me think more about what I have written and sometimes I see a new angle.
This time, as I re-read, I was struck by Peter’s phrase that it was “not any cleverly invented myths” that he was repeating. This reminds me of how our secular society has affected me at times in looking at Divine outpourings that are so far beyond my experience.
I am ashamed to admit that there have been many times in my life when I have looked for (and of course “found”) logical explanations within understandable science for the mystical – whether it be healing, visions or whatever. This is how weak my faith can be.
And so it is interesting to me that Peter, so soon after these events actually occurred, had to protest, (essentially) “I didn’t make this up. I was there and SAW it myself.” I cannot imagine seeing such a thing. But something very great must have happened for an ordinary fisherman to leave his nets and become the leader of a Faith that has endured for two thousand years.

I have always been a bit of a bargain hunter, and usually working with a tight budget so I thought I would share some money saving tips and tricks I’ve learnt along the way!
Cashback sites, such as Quidco* and TopCashback*, are a fab way to get some money back on your shopping. I mainly use Quidco and by installing their add into my browser I get a helpful pop up when I go to a site where I can earn cash back on any purchases which is great for reminding me to go through the Quidco site.
You can get cash back from lots of online retailers so why not get some cashback on those items you need to buy anyway such as car and home insurance.
This is the second year I have done the penny saving challenge to save up to cover the Christmas shopping. The simple idea is that on the first day of the year you save 1p, on the second day 2p and so on. Or you can do it in reverse with £3.65 on day one working your way down the daily amount.
As I never have change on me I created a spreadsheet to show me the monthly amounts and when it’s pay day I put the next months amount in my savings account.
I also use a money pot, like this Little Wishes My Treat Fund Money Pot* and have been adding pound coins and the occasional note to it at the end of the week if I have change in my purse, or money left over from an evening out.
Plus you can’t get the money out without breaking the pot so the temptation to raid it for change can’t get the better of you!
We had Sky TV (basic package), fibre broadband, phone calls & line rental. We decided that we were happy to cancel everything apart from the fibre broadband and managed to get this down to half price for the year.
Another simple idea is to have a separate current account for you spending money i.e. what your allowing yourself to spend other than the cost of your monthly bills.
I transfer this at the start of the month and this is what I use for any clothes purchases, meals out etc. Allowing money to roll over in to the next month means I can save some money one month if I know that I have several things on the next month.
Those are some of my top tips and tricks for money saving, I will be sharing more in the future and if you would like more detail on any of the above drop me a comment below or over on Facebook!

I am Nirmawati, and I was the oldest participant in this program. However, my willingness to be a better English educator for students made me eager to learn more and to find out modern English teaching methods and strategies. It’s an honor for me to join this program and I would like to say thanks to the governor of Bangka Belitung, Mr.Erzaldi Rosman Djohan who allowed me to participate in this training with English Today Bangka Belitung.
At the first meeting of this program, I was surprised to find out that even as an English teacher I still had been making basic English mistakes such as : I want to introduce myself when I should have said allow me to introduce myself. However, our instructor in this training, Mr.Mark encouraged us to learn from mistakes and he motivated us to be more passionate to do our jobs as English teachers.
I’m looking forward to apply teaching methods that we’ve learnt from from Mr.Mark. I would like to recommend teacher training program with English Today Indonesia to enhance teachers’ teaching skills.

Content by Tony Macklin. Originally published on February 12, 2014 @ tonymacklin.net.
My buddy Al Bernstein - the boxing guru - challenged me to list my top 5 boxing films of all-time.
I'll try and go the distance.
This may be director Marty Scorsese's best film. Many critics thought Raging Bull was the best movie of the decade of the '80s. Not just the best boxing film, but the best movie.
Robert DeNiro won the Best Actor Oscar for his withering, intense portrayal of Jake LaMotta. He captured reckless violence and raw rage. DeNiro's performance may well be the best ever of a boxer.
If DeNiro's performance is unforgettable, the direction by Scorsese is brilliant. He shows the combat in the ring in several different ways -- the bouts are stylistically unique.
Paul Schrader (honing Mardik Martin's first-draft script) adds depth, symbolism, and impact.
The divine Thelma Schoonmaker -- Scorsese's life-long editor -- also won an Oscar for her phenomenal editing.
Maybe since I'm a Philly guy, I'm especially drawn to this fable of an underdog.
Rocky is one of the happy accidents in the history of movies. Stallone's original script was harsh and naturalistic, and he insisted on starring in and directing the picture.
But fortuitous changes were made.
The tone was redone, John C. Avildsen became director, and the ending was changed. A fairy tale was born.
Rocky went on to win the Oscar as Best Picture, and Avildsen won for Best Director.
Stallone did direct Rocky 2-4 and 6. And Avildsen returned to direct Rocky 5 (1990).
Ironically Avildsen once hired Scorsese as a go-fer when Marty was a student at NYU.
I was present at the Rocky press conference, when his young blonde wife was his still photographer. Times changed quickly.
Director John Huston always was drawn to literature. He made Fat City from a novel by Leonard Gardner, who also did the screenplay. Huston, as a young man, was Amateur Lightweight Boxing Champ of California.
Huston, with exceptional cinematographer Conrad Hall, captures the drab existence of down-and-out fighters. Kris Kristofferson's "Help Me Make It Through the NIght" is the film's evocative anthem.
Stacy Keach and Jeff Bridges portray the struggling fighters. And Nick Colasanto has a major role in the film -- Colasanto was "Coach" in tv's Cheers (1982-85).
Directed by Robert Wise, this film is 72 minutes in the life of a "washed-up" boxer, who is supposed to throw a fight. Robert Ryan is superb as the boxer at the end of his ropes. This is another film in which atmosphere dominates beautifully.
I interviewed Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank, and Morgan Freeman just before the release of this film [the interview with Clint is on my site]. I appointed myself as their lucky talisman -- all three won Oscars (Clint as Director), and the movie was awarded Best Picture.
Paul Haggis wrote the screenplay from the stories of F.X. Toole -- pen name of boxing trainer Jerry Boyd.
As Clint's character walks down the hall and out a door, the penultimate image seems classic.

Despite the country’s current political divide we can all agree that starting January 1st there will be many economic and real estate changes, some we’ve already started seeing. ‘I think if you’ve been sitting on the fence… the likelihood of Fed rate increases over the next 15 months, means you should jump off the fence right now,” said Rick Sharga, executive vice president of the online real estate market Ten-X.
Prices rose too high too fast. The real estate market is cyclical and we’ll be in what’s called a buyer’s market for the next 4-7 years as prices level out. While forecasters expect a boost in economic growth the real estate market will also be affected by expected higher interest rates. Government bonds interest rates have already jumped to 2.23 percent from 1.88 percent since the election. These rates directly impact mortgage rates, largely affecting 30-year fixed-rate mortgages.
Higher interest rates means buyers won’t qualify for the same amount of financing like with the low interest rates they enjoyed in the past few years. If a buyer was qualifying for a $1MM property at 3% and interest rates rise up to 4%, that buyer will be paying $10,000 more each year in interest alone. On a 30 year note, that’s $300,000.00. This drastically affects what price range a buyer will qualify for.
This also affects sellers. Sellers will need to drop their prices to stay relevant on the market as it continues to cool off. Seller’s will also have less qualified buyers (as previously mentioned). So instead of having 100 qualified buyers for their $5MM condo, they will only have 50.
Should a homeowner be behind on mortgage payments right now they need to act FAST to apply for refinancing, loan modifications, or a short sale and they must submit this paperwork by December 31st. As President Obama’s presidency ends, so does the Making Home Affordable Act, which allowed millions of homeowners to avoid foreclosure. Without this help, a homeowner may certainly face losing their home and damaged credit for 7 years.
There is light at the end of the tunnel! The good news is that we are one step closer to what’s considered a healthy economy by interest rate standards (7%). Higher interest rates could assist first-time home buyers with bringing listing prices down. Millennials, people aged 18 to 34, are expected to drive demand in the housing market in 2017.
As Mr. Sharga said, now is the best time to act if you’re looking to sell or buy.
Be sure to speak to a real estate professional from the Alliance Team to explain to you what your options are!

The endorsements came as a part of the new TurnOUT Charlotte! campaign, launched by the Mecklenburg LGBT Political Action Committee (MeckPAC), Equality North Carolina and the Human Rights Campaign. The three groups say they want to turnout a “critical mass” of voters and are looking to elect a solid pro-LGBT equality majority on City Council. The campaign comes after the defeat in March of a suite of LGBT-inclusive non-discrimination ordinance updates.
Among the slate of candidates endorsed was incumbent at-large Councilmember Vi Lyles.
That’s rubbed some community members the wrong way, considering Lyles was the one who offered an amended ordinance version that stripped out protections for transgender residents.
The compromise proposal, seconded by openly gay Councilmember Al Austin, came after a supposed lost vote on Council. Councilmember Claire Fallon has been accused of switching her vote and dropping her support of the fully comprehensive package — thus opening the door for an amended proposal — though Fallon has denied that’s true.
Dula and Barbara Green, an ally and community leader, both said they’re not sure they can trust Lyles’ assertions she’ll be a champion for a fully-inclusive ordinance if it comes back to Council — a promise she’s made to LGBT groups and repeated publicly at a candidate forum earlier in August.
Those close to the earlier ordinance effort have said they didn’t want the amended version. Some Council leaders at the time, however, said the amended version was a way to salvage the ordinance work and, at the very least, move forward with some protections instead of none.
Green rejects that an incremental approach was a viable option.
Scott Bishop, chair of MeckPAC, said in a written statement also posted to Facebook that leaders, including Lyles, now reject that method.
Bishop also said Lyles and other similar candidates with long records of public service were essential choices in the endorsement process.
Bishop and MeckPAC are standing firmly by their slate of candidates.
“We are urging our community to focus their votes on a slate of candidates that we feel stand the best chance of being elected in a few weeks AND who also have committed publicly to a fully inclusive non-discrimination ordinance,” Bishop said.
Green and Dula said they’re mostly supportive of the rest of the endorsed slate.
Green said she’ll support Council candidate Mo Idlibby over Lyles. She’s also a supporter of Jennifer Roberts for mayor. One of the groups, MeckPAC, has endorsed incumbent Dan Clodfelter in the Democratic mayoral primary.
Jamie Hildreth, vice chair of MeckPAC, said Thursday that endorsements — based on their questionnaires and interviews with candidates — hinged primarily on whether a candidate supported the full, comprehensive non-discrimination ordinance and whether they would work to champion the issue. Each of their endorsed candidates made that pledge.
Most of the Council’s members did end up supporting the amended version of the ordinances presented to them on March 2. The amended version passed 9-2, with Democrats John Autry and LaWana Mayfield voting against it. In the final vote, Autry and Mayfield again voted against the compromise version, along with Republicans Ed Driggs and Kenny Smith and Democrat Michael Barnes. The ordinance’s final defeating vote came in at 6-5.
I am one who does not support Vy Liles. History speaks applies itself here. As a member of the trans community, I can not let that history go by and. It have it count. She was willing to throw me away before, and given the history, I can’t trust her. She lost my community’s trust an s that take more than words to win back. I suspect many others in my community feel the same way. We have learned not to trust through many pain filled lessons. She says she changed, prove it.

An Egyptian drugs rehabilitation hotline has seen a fourfold rise in calls after the release of a campaign featuring Liverpool footballer Mohamed Salah, according to Egypt Today.
The “Say No to Drugs” campaign set up by the Egyptian Ministry of Social Solidarity and the Fund for Drug Control and Treatment of Addiction (FDCTA) launched at the end of last month and features Salah watching as a boy is forced to choose between hanging out with people who take drugs or his friends. At the end of the video, Salah looks at the camera and says: “Say No to Drugs” in Arabic, with the advert displaying the hotline number.
The video went viral on social media in Egypt, exceeding five million views in the first three days of its release.
“Some 88 percent of the viewers were between 18-35 years. Facebook, Instagram and Youtube videos have been watched for 8 million and 400,000 times, shared 23,000 times and liked by 359,000 users.” Egyptian Social Solidarity Minister Ghada Wali said.
Last week, the minister further confirmed that the drugs rehabilitation hotline had witnessed an overwhelming 400 per cent increase in calls after the campaign due to the cameo appearance made by the football star.
This is the fourth time Salah has been involved in the campaign to tackle drug abuse in the country. Egyptian singer Mohamad Hamaki also sings the background track in the video calling on viewers to “build your life” and ensure friends “care for you”.
Drug addiction in Egypt is estimated to be at twice global rates, with approximately ten per cent of the country, over nine million people, using narcotics, Wali revealed earlier this year. The government has also launched an initiative to reduce drug usage among school bus drivers after it was found that all 56 drivers who had been reported for suspected drug use by parents in the first semester of the academic year, failed to pass a drugs test.
Tramadol is the most popular drug among users, followed by cannabis and heroin. The usage of Tramadol, in particular, has surged since 2010, with many attributing the rise to the difficult economic situation the country is facing and a sense of hopelessness amongst the youth.
Drugs enter Egypt from South Asia, usually via sea and airports, and are then distributed across the North Africa region and into Europe. Drug trafficking in Egypt is also a core activity of transnational organised crime networks.

Everything You Need to Know about Cookie Cutters Cookie cutters have a lot going on that meets the eye. No matter how you try to blend different foods to come up with varying combinations, you still will not manage to get rid of this feeling. With them, there are endless possibilities that you can achieve with your food that may turn a boring meal into an interesting treat. Making your food look great requires a bit of creativity. With cookie cutters, you can achieve this and more. In the mood of sharing, we have come up with an article that will offer more facts about the handy device. Regardless of what the name suggests cookie cutters may be used to decorate several types of foods besides cookies. Perhaps the only thing you need to know is the types of food that you can manage to decorate using the gadget. Cookie cutters are ideal for coming up with different shapes and sizes for your food. Some of the common foods decorated with a cookie cutter include cakes, tortillas and a wide variety of treats. You only need to think outside the box to know the kind of shape you want.
It is important to note that cookie cutters come in different types of shapes. You can have one with the shape of an animal or a common symbol or an interesting object. Better yet, you might find what you need in online stores if not in your neighborhood store. All these shapes are readily available in land-based stores as well as virtual stores.
On the contrary, you can have one made from a clean material at home. Most importantly, ensure that the object is clean to avoid any health issues. Perhaps the most important part is to ensure the object used is clean. These gadgets give your food a completely new look. They also make it look interesting. As a good pet owner, you should have some of these gadgets at home if you do not have them already. The reason being, it is quite hard to feed your dog to become healthy and strong especially when there are limited types of foods. For instance, you can decorate your cat’s food in the shape of a mouse, which will easily attract it. For instance, you can make cookies in the shape of a mouse and feed them to your cat. This would be the easiest way to get your cat to eating the food without having to force it. In that case, if you are planning to get one for decorating your food or your pet’s food, make sure you get it at the right price. Compare prices from different online stores and land-based stores before making your purchase. Alternatively, you can ask for a referral from a close friend or relative.

Still having issues with the iPhone 5 purple flare that seems to show up on photos taken with a bright light source nearby? Today we’ve got an update straight from Apple.
A purplish or other colored flare, haze, or spot is imaged from out-of-scene bright light sources during still image or video capture.
Most small cameras, including those in every generation of iPhone, may exhibit some form of flare at the edge of the frame when capturing an image with out-of-scene light sources. This can happen when a light source is positioned at an angle (usually just outside the field of view) so that it causes a reflection off the surfaces inside the camera module and onto the camera sensor. Moving the camera slightly to change the position at which the bright light is entering the lens, or shielding the lens with your hand, should minimize or eliminate the effect.
There you have it. Apple is still saying that you’re using the camera wrong; the whole iPhone 5 purple flare issue can be avoided by angling your phone’s camera differently.
Granted, purple flare is not unique to the iPhone 5, but the problem just seems more pronounced when compared to its predecessor or other smartphones. This apparently is the reason why there are quite a few iPhone 5 users concerned.
Is iPhone 5 purple flare an issue? Or do you think it’s something being blown out of proportion? Share your thoughts in the comments below!

The Domain Name Manager, provided in the Control Panel enables you to effortlessly manage many domain names from one location. Furthermore, it enables you to control your domains within the same location you manage your web site. In addition our Domain Name Manager arrives brimming with all of the tools you will ever need to have complete command over your domains.
Using the Website-Email.com Control Panel, it is easy to focus on a lot of websites and domain names at the same time. Our Domain Name Manager allows you to manage all the different attributes of your domains – WHOIS information, name servers, custom DNS records, domain locking, etc. You can also park limitless number of domains, direct domains, switch on Domain WHOIS Privacy Protection, and so on.
With merely a mouse click, you’ll be able to handle your websites’ files, databases, e–mail accounts, or inspect your existing site statistics.
From the Domain Name Manager user interface, it will be easy to speedily modify important DNS records for domain names, registered or moved to your website hosting account. You will be able to rather quickly set in place unique: A, AAAA, MX, SRV, CNAME, TXT, etc. records, modify them later on and even revert to the default values if you are not satisfied with a certain modification.
At any given moment, you may even register your very own name servers – dns1.your–domain.com and dns2.your–domain.com to raise your brand name reputation amongst clients.
Within the Control Panel, it’s possible to register appealing domain names as well as park them online till you populate them with website content or re–sell them to someone else at a bargain price. Any time you park a domain name, you can pick to direct your domain name to a template web page (’Under Construction’ page if you are planning to employ it for a website, additionally a "for sale" page for those who like to sell the domain) or a fully functional web site.
You can keep a domain parked for as long as you would like! With the Domain Name Manager, you can actually change the ’parked’ state of domain and connect it with a website with merely a mouse click.
You can easily forward a domain name completely to another website link with thanks to the user friendly features in the Website-Email.com Domain Name Manager. You can easily make redirections to both domain names located within your website hosting account and domains positioned on outside machines. With merely a mouse click, it will be straightforward to select the domain name that you want to divert and then designate the website url of the host that you want it to go to. To undo a redirection, simply click on the ’Host Domain’ button and our platform will point the domain name straight back to your Linux shared hosting account.
You’ll need domain name redirection to forward a number of domains to just one web site. For example, if own a brand (your–brand.com), you’ll be able to point virtually all famous domain extensions towards your principal site (your–brand.net, your–brand.info, your–brand.org, your–brand.biz, etc.) to be sure that no–one will take the domain and ’steals’ your clients.
Your personal domain name registration details are publicly available by rule. Luckily, you will find a solution to prevent it from displaying online by making usage of Domain WHOIS Privacy Protection! With this particular service, your WHOIS details won’t present on the web when someone makes a WHOIS search for your domain name.
Then again, if a person actually must speak to you concerning your website name, they could use the email indexed by the WHOIS data and we’ll forward it to you quickly.

THE COURTHOUSE CLOCK CHIMED SEVEN TIMES. The echoes of the chimes faded.
Warm summer twilight here in upper Illinois country in this little town deep far away from everything, kept to itself by a river and a forest and a meadow and a lake. The sidewalks still scorched. The stores closing and the streets shadowed. And there were two moons; the clock moon with four faces in four night directions above the solemn black courthouse, and the real moon rising in vanilla whiteness from the dark east.
In the drugstore fans whispered in the high ceiling. In the rococo shade of porches, a few invisible people sat. Cigars glowed pink, on occasion. Screen doors whined their springs and slammed. On the purple bricks of the summer-night streets, Douglas Spaulding ran; dogs and boys followed after.
The boys loped away. Waving after them quietly, Lavinia Nebbs sat all alone with a tall cool lemonade in her white fingers, tapping it to her lips, sipping, waiting.
She turned and there was Francine, all in snow white, at the bottom steps of the porch, in the smell of zinnias and hibiscus.
They walked down the street.
“Where you going, girls?” cried Miss Fern and Miss Roberta from their porch over the way.
“Oh, bosh!” Lavinia heard the old women’s door bang and lock, and she drifted on, feeling the warm breath of summer night shimmering off the oven-baked sidewalks. It was like walking on a hard crust of freshly warmed bread. The heat pulsed under your dress, along your legs, with a stealthy and not unpleasant sense of invasion.
They stood upon the edge of the ravine that cut the town half in two. Behind them were the lit houses and music, ahead was deepness, moistness, fireflies and dark.
Lavinia looked and the ravine was a dynamo that never stopped running, night or day; there was a great moving hum, a bumbling and murmuring of creature, insect, or plant life. It smelled like a greenhouse, of secret vapors and ancient, washed shales and quicksands. And always the black dynamo humming, with sparkles like great electricity where fireflies moved on the air.
“It’s early. Lonely One won’t be out till late.” Lavinia took the other’s arm and led her down and down the crooked path into the cricket warmth and frog sound and mosquito-delicate silence. They brushed through summer-scorched grass, burs prickling at their bare ankles.
They turned a curve in the path—and there it was.
In the singing deep night, in the shade of warm trees, as if she had laid herself out to enjoy the soft stars and the easy wind, her hands at either side of her like the oars of a delicate craft, lay Elizabeth Ramsell!
The woman lay as if she had floated there, her face moonlit, her eyes wide and like flint, her tongue sticking from her mouth.
Lavinia stood in the middle of a thousand warm shadows with the crickets screaming and the frogs loud.
“We’d better get the police,” she said at last.
Lavinia held Francine and the policemen were brushing through the crackling grass, flashlights ducked about, voices mingled, and the night grew toward eight-thirty.
“It’s like December. I need a sweater,” said Francine, eyes shut, against Lavinia.
Lavinia and Francine walked away from the police and the sheet over the delicate thing upon the ravine grass.
Lavinia felt her heart going loudly in her and she was cold, too, with a February cold; there were bits of sudden snow all over her flesh, and the moon washed her brittle fingers whiter, and she remembered doing all the talking while Francine just sobbed against her.
“No, we’ll make it,” said Lavinia to nobody, and they walked on. They walked through the nuzzling, whispering ravine, the ravine of whispers and clicks, the little world of investigation growing small behind them with its lights and voices.
“I’ve never seen a dead person before,” said Francine.
They started up the ravine side, on the stony path, in the dark. And suddenly there, barring their way, standing very still in one spot, not seeing them, but looking on down at the moving lights and the body and listening to the official voices, was Douglas Spaulding.
He stood there, white as a mushroom, with his hands at his sides, staring down into the ravine.
“Get home!” cried Francine. He did not hear.
Douglas jerked his head, stared at them as if they were not there. His mouth moved. He gave a bleating sound. Then, silently, he whirled about and ran. He ran silently up the distant hills into the warm darkness.
Francine sobbed and cried again and, doing this, walked on with Lavinia Nebbs.
The three young women stood in the summer night looking at each other. “I’ve got a notion to go in the house and lock the doors,” said Helen at last.
The three women moved along the street under the black trees, past suddenly locked houses. How soon the news had spread outward from the ravine, from house to house, porch to porch, telephone to telephone. Now, passing, the three women felt eyes looking out at them from curtained windows as locks rattled into place. How strange the popsicle, the vanilla night, the night of close-packed ice cream, of mosquitolotioned wrists, the night of running children suddenly veered from their games and put away behind glass, behind wood, the popsicles in melting puddles of lime and strawberry where they fell when the children were scooped indoors. Strange the hot rooms with the sweating people pressed tightly back into them behind the bronze knobs and knockers. Baseball bats and balls lay upon the unfootprinted lawns. A half-drawn, white-chalk game of hopscotch lay on the broiled, steamed sidewalk. It was as if someone had predicted freezing weather a moment ago.
“We’re crazy being out on a night like this,” said Helen.
A shadow fell across their terrified faces. A figure loomed behind a tree. As if someone had struck an organ a terrible blow with his fist, the three women gave off a scream, in three different shrill notes.
“Got you!” roared a voice. The man plunged at them. He came into the light, laughing. He leaned against a tree, pointing at the ladies weakly, laughing again.
“Hey! I’m the Lonely One!” said Frank Dillon.
Francine began to cry hysterically.
They moved. He moved to follow.
“Stay right there, Mr. Lonely One, and scare yourself. Go take a look at Elizabeth Ramsell’s face and see if it’s funny. Good night!” Lavinia took the other two on along the street of trees and stars, Francine holding a kerchief to her face.
The drugstore was a small pool of sluggish air which the great wooden fans stirred in tides of arnica and tonic and soda-smell out onto the brick streets.
“I need a nickel’s worth of green peppermint chews,” said Lavinia to the druggist. His face was set and pale, like all the faces they had seen on the half-empty streets. “For eating in the show,” said Lavinia as the druggist weighed out a nickel’s worth of the green candy with a silver shovel.
“Man sitting at the counter—watched you walk out. Said to me, ‘Say, who’s that?’ Why, that’s Lavinia Nebbs, prettiest maiden lady in town, I said. ‘She’s beautiful,’ he said. ‘Where does she live?’ ” Here the druggist paused uncomfortably.
“I guess I didn’t think. I said, ‘Oh, over on Park Street, you know, near the ravine.” A casual remark. But now, tonight, them finding the body, I heard a minute ago, I thought, My God, what’ve I done!” He handed over the package, much too full.
“You fool!” cried Francine, and tears were in her eyes.
Lavinia stood with the three people looking at her, staring at her. She felt nothing. Except, perhaps, the slightest prickle of excitement in her throat. She held out her money automatically.
“There’s no charge on those peppermints,” said the druggist, turning to shuffle some papers.
“It was just a man,” said Lavinia, turning in a slow circle to look at the town.
he first showing was over, intermission was on, and the dim auditorium was sparsely populated. The three ladies sat halfway down front, in the smell of ancient brass polish, and watched the manager step through the worn red velvet curtains to make an announcement.
“That means us, Lavinia!” whispered Francine.
The lights went out. The screen leaped to life.
One by one the three women turned to look.
They saw a white face there, flickering with unholy light from the silver screen. It seemed to be all men’s faces hovering there in the dark.
“Helen, come back!” cried Lavinia, rising.
They tapped their empty soda glasses down, each with a vanilla mustache on their upper lip, which they found with their tongues, laughing.
“I’m sorry,” said Helen faintly.
The clock said eleven-thirty now. They had come out of the dark theater, away from the fluttering rush of men and women hurrying everywhere, nowhere, on the street while laughing at Helen. Helen was trying to laugh at herself.
“I apologized,” said Helen, looking up at the great fan still whirling, whirling the warm late night air, stirring, restirring the smells of vanilla, raspberry, peppermint and Lysol.
“Closing up, ladies.” The druggist switched off the lights in the cool white-tiled silence.
Outside, the streets were swept clean and empty of cars or trucks or people. Bright lights still burned in the small store windows where the warm wax dummies lifted pink wax hands fired with blue-white diamond rings, or flourished orange wax legs to reveal hosiery. The hot blueglass eyes of the mannequins watched as the ladies drifted down the empty river bottom street, their images shimmering in the windows like blossoms seen under darkly moving waters.
There were a thousand people in the windows, stiff and silent, and three people on the street, the echoes following like gunshots from store fronts across the way when they tapped their heels on the baked pavement.
A red neon sign flickered dimly, buzzed like a dying insect, as they passed.
Baked and white, the long avenues lay ahead. Blowing and tall in a wind that touched only their leafy summits, the trees stood on either side of the three small women. Seen from the courthouse peak, they appeared like three thistles far away.
And so they walked, they drifted like three prim clothes forms over a moonlit sea of lawn and concrete, Lavinia watching the black trees flit by each side of her, listening to the voices of her friends murmuring, trying to laugh; and the night seemed to quicken, they seemed to run while walking slowly, everything seemed fast and the color of hot snow.
They sang sweetly and quietly, arm in arm, not looking back. They felt the hot sidewalk cooling underfoot, moving, moving.
They listened to the summer night. The summer-night crickets and the far-off tone of the courthouse clock making it eleven forty-five.
Lavinia listened. A porch swing creaked in the dark and there was Mr. Terle, not saying anything to anybody, alone on his swing, having a last cigar. They saw the pink ash swinging gently to and fro.
Now the lights were going, going, gone. The little house lights and big house lights and yellow lights and green hurricane lights, the candles and oil lamps and porch lights, and everything felt locked up in brass and iron and steel, everything, thought Lavinia, is boxed and locked and wrapped and shaded. She imagined the people in their moonlit beds. And their breathing in the summernight rooms, safe and together. And here we are, thought Lavinia, our footsteps on along the baked summer evening sidewalk. And above us the lonely street lights shining down, making a drunken shadow.
“Lavinia, Helen, stay here tonight. It’s late, almost midnight now. You can sleep in the parlor. I’ll make hot chocolate—it’ll be such fun!” Francine was holding them both now, close to her.
And Francine began to cry.
“Oh, not again, Francine,” said Lavinia.
“Good night, good night!” Rushing upstairs, Francine whisked behind a door, which slammed to be snap-bolted tight on the instant.
The courthouse clock struck the hour. The sounds blew across a town that was empty, emptier than it had ever been. Over empty streets and empty lots and empty lawns the sound faded.
“Nine, ten, eleven, twelve,” counted Lavinia, with Helen on her arm.
“Don’t you feel funny?” asked Helen.
The sound of the deep warm dark ravine came near.
She heard the man’s voice.
A man’s voice singing far away among the trees.
She walked a little faster.
Down the street in the dim moonlight a man walked slowly and casually along.
And that’s who it was, of course.
She went on, leaving him under a light, humming to himself, alone.
Here I am, she thought.
She stood on the edge of the one hundred and thirteen steps that went down the steep hill and then across the bridge seventy yards and up the hills leading to Park Street. And only one lantern to see by. Three minutes from now, she thought, I’ll be putting my key in my house door. Nothing can happen in just one hundred eighty seconds.
She started down the long dark-green steps into the deep ravine.
“One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten steps,” she counted in a whisper.
She felt she was running, but she was not running.
“Fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty steps,” she breathed.
“One fifth of the way!” she announced to herself.
The ravine was deep, black and black, black! And the world was gone behind, the world of safe people in bed, the locked doors, the town, the drugstore, the theater, the lights, everything was gone. Only the ravine existed and lived, black and huge, about her.
She listened to her shoes on the steps.
She screamed. It was like nothing she’d ever heard, that scream. She had never screamed that loud in her life. She stopped, she froze, she clung to the wooden banister. Her heart exploded in her. The sound of the terrified beating filled the universe.
Nothing, she thought, holding her heart. Nothing. Fool! That story I told myself. How silly. What shall I do?
Shall I call the officer—did he hear me scream?
I’ll go the rest of the way. That silly story.
She began again, counting the steps.
She took a step. There was an echo.
Another echo. Another step, just a fraction of a moment later.
A step and an echo.
The crickets were listening. The night was listening to her. For a change, all of the far summer-night meadows and close summer-night trees were suspending motion; leaf, shrub, star, and meadow grass ceased their particular tremors and were listening to Lavinia Nebbs’s heart. And perhaps a thousand miles away, across locomotive-lonely country, in an empty way station, a single traveler reading a dim newspaper under a solitary naked bulb, might raise up his head, listen, and think, What’s that? and decide, Only a woodchuck, surely, beating on a hollow log. But it was Lavinia Nebbs, it was most surely the heart of Lavinia Nebbs.
Silence. A summer-night silence which lay for a thousand miles, which covered the earth like a white and shadowy sea. Faster, faster! She went down the steps.
She heard music. In a mad way, in a silly way, she heard the great surge of music that pounded at her, and she realized as she ran, as she ran in panic and terror, that some part of her mind was dramatizing, borrowing from the turbulent musical score of some private drama, and the music was rushing and pushing her now, higher and higher, faster, faster, plummeting and scurrying, down, and down into the pit of the ravine.
Only a little way, she prayed. One hundred eight, nine, one hundred ten steps! The bottom! Now, run! Across the bridge!
She told her legs what to do, her arms, her body, her terror; she advised all parts of herself in this white and terrible moment, over the roaring creek waters, on the hollow, thudding, swaying almost alive, resilient bridge planks she ran, followed by the wild footsteps behind, behind, with the music following, too, the music shrieking and babbling.
He’s following, don’t turn, don’t look, if you see him, you’ll not be able to move, you’ll be so frightened. Just run, run!
She ran across the bridge.
Oh, God, God, please, please let me get up the hill! Now up the path, now between the hills, oh God, it’s dark, and everything so far away. If I screamed now it wouldn’t help; I can’t scream anyway. Here’s the top of the path, here’s the street, oh, God, please let me be safe, if I get home safe I’ll never go out alone; I was a fool, let me admit it, I was a fool, I didn’t know what terror was, but if you let me get home from this I’ll never go without Helen or Francine again! Here’s the street. Across the street!
She crossed the street and rushed up the sidewalk.
Oh God, the porch! My house! Oh God, please give me time to get inside and lock the door and I’ll be safe!
And there—silly thing to notice—why did she notice, instantly, no time, no time—but there it was anyway, flashing by—there on the porch rail, the half-filled glass of lemonade she had abandoned a long time, a year, half an evening ago! The lemonade glass sitting calmly, imperturbably there on the rail,. . . and . . .
She heard her clumsy feet on the porch and listened and felt her hands scrabbling and ripping at the lock with the key. She heard her heart. She heard her inner voice screaming.
Unlock the door, quick, quick!
Now, inside. Slam it! She slammed the door.
“Now lock it, bar it, lock it!” she gasped wretchedly.
The door was locked and bolted tight.
The music stopped. She listened to her heart again and the sound of it diminishing into silence.
Home! Oh God, safe at home! Safe, safe and safe at home! She slumped against the door. Safe, safe. Listen. Not a sound. Safe, safe, oh thank God, safe at home. I’ll never go out at night again. I’ll stay home. I won’t go over that ravine again ever. Safe, oh safe, safe home, so good, so good, safe! Safe inside, the door locked. Wait.
Why, there’s no one there at all! Nobody. There was nobody following me at all. Nobody running after me. She got her breath and almost laughed at herself. It stands to reason If a man had been following me, he’d have caught me! I’m not a fast runner. . . . There’s no one on the porch or in the yard. How silly of me. I wasn’t running from anything. That ravine’s as safe as anyplace. Just the same, it’s nice to be home. Home’s the really good warm place, the only place to be.
She put her hand out to the light switch and stopped.
Behind her in the living room, someone cleared his throat.

Remember when your intrusion alarm system was first installed?
You may have experienced several false alarms during the first year that your system was in operation. Some of these false alarms may have been due to "user error", caused by you or one of your fellow employees. Maybe you also had a false alarm or two due to defective equipment.
Several years have gone by and the false alarms seem to have disappeared. You dutifully turn your system on every night, and turn it off every morning. Everything seems to be working fine. Is it?
Motion detectors in a warehouse that were completely blocked by inventory. In one warehouse that was examined, every interior motion detector was blocked by merchandise.
Magnetic door contact switches that were disconnected from the system. Most of these switches were "temporarily" bypassed during service calls and were never reconnected to the system. At one facility, switches on 13 of the 28 overhead doors were bypassed.
Glass breakage detectors that had their sensitivity setting set to zero. In an attempt to reduce false alarms, the system installer had set the sensitivity settings so low that even a hurricane breaking every window would not cause these detectors to set off an alarm.
Alarm control panel that was disconnected from phone lines, preventing the monitoring center from receiving alarm reports. In one case, the customer had upgraded his telephone system more than three years earlier. The telephone line connections to the alarm panel were accidentally disconnected at that time, and the problem was not discovered for three years! All the time the customer was paying for monitoring and was feeling good because the system wasn't having any false alarms!
Defective control panel. Control panel allowed customer to turn system on and off normally, but would not send alarm to monitoring center when alarm was tripped. Problem later determined to be caused by lightning damage.
Systems not properly interconnected. At one facility, a critical freezer temperature monitoring system was supposed to be connected to the intrusion alarm system to permit monitoring by the alarm company. Upon testing, it was discovered that the final connections between the two systems was never made - each installer had assumed that the installer of the other system would take care of the final connections. This problem existed in the system since the day it was installed and yet was not discovered until the system was tested by Silva Consultants two and a half years later.
The conclusion: intrusion alarm systems should be tested regularly to assure that they are in proper working order.
Tests should be conducted by a company other than the one who installed and/or services the existing system. Alternatively, the system may be tested by the regular installation and service company provided that the tests are witnessed by the owner of the facility or the user of the intrusion alarm system.
Every device in the system should be tested. Open every door, trip every motion and glass break detector, activate every panic button or hold-up alarm device. Remember, if it seems like too much trouble to test a particular device, it is likely that the system installer felt the same way when he first put in the system. These "hard-to-test" types of devices are the ones that need testing the most.
If the system is monitored, have the monitoring center provide a written report showing which alarm zones were received and when. As most monitoring centers are now computerized, it is usually not a problem to have a report printed and faxed to you just after completion of the test.
Disconnect the system from it's primary power source to test the back-up battery systems. This can usually be done by simply unplugging the low-voltage transformer that is plugged into the wall near the panel. Operate the system for ten to fifteen minutes without power and then trip the system to make sure that it still works OK.
If the system is monitored, unplug the connections between the alarm panel and the telephone lines. Leave unplugged for about five to ten minutes to make sure that the panel's telephone line supervision feature is working correctly.
If you have questions, or need help in developing testing procedures, please contact us.

Thread: Why cant Microsoft make a dime on the Internet?
Microsoft, one of the most aggressively competitive, brainiac-attracting, technologically superior, and oh, yes, cash-gushingly profitable companies of all time, can't for the life of it make a dime on the Internet.
Everyone knows that Google remains the company of online advertising, generating operating profits of $1.7 billion last quarter on revenues of $5.5 billion. Yet even industry doormats Yahoo and AOL are profitable.
Desperate to catch Google, Microsoft has been spending like mad on data centers, people, and marketing. But its online audience is relatively small - much smaller than Google's - and those costs grossly outweigh sales.
An interesting read at CNN.
The current strategy is pretty strong, Microsoft missed the opportunity early on and now has to play catch up, considering they have the resources (money) they need to invest now to earn in coming years.
I think the article writer isn't aware of the paid services that are going to come out in the near future, Azure, Sharepoint case in point.
REF:-Why cant Microsoft make a dime on the Internet?
Had DOS and came out with Windows 1.
Now look where they are with the OS market.
Give them anothe 5 - 10 Years and Google and Yahoo will be just a memory.

WTB 16 inch pump for Raleigh Sports.
I have one of these available, along with any other Sports part you may need (parting out) I have no idea how much these pumps are worth. Offer?
Williams lightweight crankset, 46t date code B (1914) or EW, 1936.
The 'B' is inside what looks like a church steeple, with the EW on either side. Below the floor of the B 'building' there is the letter 'Y' and then below is 46.
The running gear is all Bayliss-Wiley low-flange with hinged oil cups. Both the headset and the bottom bracket have very early cylinder shaped grease fittings plated with nickle. The bottom bracket shaft was made with a lightening hole it's length. The rear hub has threading on both sides with a 13-tooth sprocket, front is 46.
The saddle is a Brooks B or P-17? Champion Sprinter from the shape and dimensions. It's pretty dry, but solid with a bit of alligatorring. There is no hole in the rear stay, and it is very slender.
The frame decals are 'Made in England' and below a Reynolds sticker in bold block letters, gold on an emerald field. Text says "WARRANTED REYNOLDS HIGH MAGANESE BUTTED TUBES' Frame color is a multi-coat black enamel with double box section gold pinstriping on all tubes throughout, mostly faded or rubbed off.
Pedals and toe-clips are geVov on top and underneath 'Stahl Gerhardt' Typical racing leathers.
The headset is really unususal. Along with the grease zerk on the lower collar, there is apparently a 'micro adjustment' ring at the top of the collar that is both knurled and has evenly placed holes for a pin spanner. The fork crown is drilled for a brake, and the one that is on there is a plated steel side-pull that says 'Schwinn Quality'. The rest of the bike puts the brake to shame, it might have been an add-on for someone. I will say that the owner I bought this from got it from his father and told me it might be one. He had an early Paramount as well.
The frame lugs are relatively simple as they have just 7/16 scallops on the sides and no outlining evident. Well done and smooth, though.
Rims are wooden and are made by Fairbanks-Boston, patent date May 2, 1893. The markings are a sort of a stencil in the form of a oblong. Above it says Trade Mark, then the maker, and Alma, MI.as well as 'laminated'. Next to that is either and 11 or the roman II, I can't tell which. The size is 24 3/4 x 3/4 and are in really nice shape with just varnish ageing. Warped, of course! lol.
Frame dimensions are; down tube, 23", top, 22 1/2, forks, 15 3/4, seat tube, 21". Justding by the angles on the frame, it appears to be a sprint bike or a criterium. Pretty stiff angles there it seems. The front fork does have a modest rake as well as chrome the first 6 1/2" exposed. From paint chips, the rest is chromed as well. And the fork crowm is a simple oval receptacle crown as opposed to an internal such as a Cinelli slope.
I haven't taken any of it apart fo look for futher information. If there are maker's marks that I might find anywhere that might help, that would be appreciated.
Ok, let's get on our Sherlock Holmes detective caps, pull out the pipe and grab our books. Any and all information would be GREATLY appreciated.
The headpiece has no maker's badge but is red. It might have been either repainted years ago looking at it, and there are no remnants of a decal. The frame # is 92158.
Edited to add; the date code on the Williams crankset was the 'Y' under the logo. Hope that helps.
I just wanted to mention a couple more things; the serial number is on the right side of the upper headset lug. There is also another grease fitting on the lower headset lug on the feft side. The chainset and cranks with the BB appears to be the c-1000 ultra-light road racing set from 1936, the first year of introduction. I now have the fame diennsions for anyone who is interested. It does appear to be a stiff fork, as there is only a rake of 1 1/4" from the centerline of the tube!
I apparently have an offer for from a board member here for $800, so I'll probably sell it as that seems somewhat fair. It is a very rare original bike.
Evidently, the 'buyer' that wanted my bike appears to have been sone Nigerian scam artist. Bike is up for bid on ebaby.
I Have a 1960 26 inch Murray Meteor Flite.
Look in the Picture Database to determine the year, and look in the Price Guide to determine the price.
Campy Equip circa 1977 Allegro Touring. Looking for market value in Los Angeles, CA. I have owned it since 1978.
I am looking for a pair of the inner steel bearing races that were pressed onto the Campagnolo Titanium bottom brackets from the 80's. Does anyone have a set to purchase or know of where i might find them? I was counting on using the BB on a project bike but the inner races are too bad to use.

Alan Partridge’s latest book, Nomad, is as hilarious as you would expect.
One of the highlights is a hilarious footnote in Chapter 26, taking a swipe at ex-Sky Sports presenter Richard Keys.
I do have some insight into executive life in the Middle East after finding myself stuck on Richard Keys’s group email list following his departure from Sky Sports (thanks to an unguarded piece of golf club banter) and his subsequent move to Al Jazeera in Doha.
His weekly emails purported to be a way of keeping friends and family abreast of his new life in Qatar but were actually thinly veiled bragathons in which he’d attack pictures of himself in sunglasses or making phone calls on a lilo or eating steak with Andy Gray.
Richard didn’t know what BCC was, leaving each recipient publicly exposed as a friend of his even if, like me, they’d only met him twice.
Fortunately I replied that it would be fascinating to see how Richard got on in the Islamist state of Qatar: One is a medieval relic, which despises women, persecutes workers and is viewed with suspicion by the West … and the other is the Islamist state of Qatar.
It seems I was removed from the list after that.

There is something to be said about going into a comic having not paid attention to things like solicits or online rumors. There is also something to be said for being unaware or forgetful about a writer’s previous works. You get this false sense of security and comfort with characters you’ve grown to love.
Over the last 13 issues, Spider-Woman has set up a comfortable and functioning, though non-traditional family unit. Throughout this issue, promises of the future are made that could have taken many more arcs to unfold. Then comes the sucker punch. Jaw drops, fetal position is assumed and you just don’t know if you’ll ever recover.
Pay no mind to the working superhero single mother, this issue belongs to Roger, a.k.a. The Porcupine. Even when time is taken to highlight how Jessica has helped other criminals around the city reform, it still comes back to Roger’s ex-wife and the cold-shoulder she is giving Jessica, due to her involvement in Roger’s life. The reformed criminal’s past is catching up with him. This all happens just as Roger has his own personal revelations.
They’re revelations with the potential to shake-up the Drew household. Roger’s co-babysitter and family friend, Ben Urich, acts as an exposition unguent both in getting Roger to be honest satisfying readers feelings, as well as pass along a key plot points to Jessica Drew. The general banter and wit that is found in every issue of Hopeless run can easily be navigated here. On the whole, the issue isn’t overly gripping or intense. It feels like a natural progression and pacer issue, of the story so-far.
If you are reading reviews, chances are you already know what that twist. Even going back and looking at the solicitation text for the issue, a reader could guess what is happening. For those who haven’t been spoiled or guess, that will not be revealed here.
Instead, just a note that it is so sudden, and quick. If you were skimming the issue, and not taking a minute to read each panel, a reader could have miss it’s full impact. That’s not to say the art doesn’t clearly convey what happens, it does, in an extreme fashion. It’s just that there is no wasted space in the action. The event occurs and the story moves on with breakneck speed. It’s in an effort to leave you with a cliffhanger of the heartbreak coming next issue.
Veronica Fish’s art is detailed and emotional coming across as deceptively simple. There is a clear work put into each face being unique, despite sharing similar features, trademark of the artist.
A lot of this clean look can be credited to Rachelle Rosenberg’s color work. The shadow work that goes into the lighting of each panel feels very natural and easy to view. Fish’s layouts are anything but standards. A combination of panel overlays, gutter busting and distinct choices between black and white backgrounds move the story along in a succinct fashion.
Most of the action sequences have panel overlays on the action sequences. A curved half circle panel helps to create a claustrophobic or closing in sensation, when a team of henchmen make a surprise entrance. When the Hobgoblin makes his grand fly-in, the gutters shift from white to black. Its a visual cue the revs up tension quickly.
This is a perfectly paired team that creates emotionally charged comics, for those who have been invested in Spider-Woman so far. For readers looking to jump aboard, thanks to the new arc #1 logo for MARVEL NOW!, the significance of this issue’s events may not feel as grand or surprising. Once the big ending occurs, it makes everything in the issue that came before feel hollow, or as if they were just filler.
The lettering in this issue is a bit distracting, mostly due to a copious amount of long narrow tails. While it kept the read order of dialogue clear, because everything was orderly in position, the white sweeping across many panels has the potential to pull readers out of the story.
Spider-Woman is a cleverly written, beautifully illustrated and dynamically colored story, highlighting the struggles of a single mother superhero. This is not your everyday superhero book, but something to be celebrated for it’s unique views on balancing parenthood and life. Yet, after this gut punch I’m going to need to go hide under and blanket and sob for awhile. Sure, it’s superhero comics, and things like this aren’t always forever. It still reads like a Hopeless twist that isn’t being glossed over anytime soon.

Storage is 32GB internal, but can be expanded through expansion microSD cards and cloud storage, of which ASUS gives you their own ASUS Webstorage space (5GB) and an additional Google Drive top up of 100GB. The Zenpad 3 runs on Android Marshmallow (6.0.1). The Singapore version retails at $499 with 4G LTE network support.
ASUS uses a combination of leather and glass for the tablet, and it feels OK. The back is definitely grippy, which is a plus. Overall, it is light enough at 320g to bring around, although when compared to the Galaxy Tab S2, it’s about 20% heavier. It’s really quite thin at 7.57mm, and it’s really easy to slip into a bag. Battery life promises up to 11 hours, and it lasts pretty well, with low battery drain on standby.
You might want to get a case though – and the official accessory from ASUS will keep you protected. ASUS Zen Clutch is a tailor-made fashion accessory for your ASUS ZenPad 3 8.0. The cover protects ZenPad without adding bulk to its compact, lightweight design. Inside, Zen Clutch includes convenient slots for your ID and credit cards.
On the connectivity front, the tablet is well covered. The micro SIM slot supports common LTE bands, and 3G fallback as well. WiFi supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks.
The tablet uses ASUS own ZenUI 3.0 interface, which is the default ASUS launcher. There’s a “Kids” mode, which helps control application access – can be useful for a family tablet. ASUS also adds applications for display improvement, such as SPLENDID, and also video, with ASUS VisualMaster and ASUS Tru2Life+ technologies for a closer to cinematic experience.
If you are looking for a tablet-sized phone, the Zenpad 3 is a worthwhile consideration, as it also supports voice, and messaging features.
The Zenpad 3 is one of the few mainstream Android tablets that were launched last year, and it’s definitely a good tablet, but it does seem like the popularity in this segment has dropped significantly. Phones are getting bigger, and there’s nothing particularly special that an Android tablet can do over a phone. In fact, most Android applications are developed with phones in mind, and that unfortunately leads to a combination of poor visual and user experience when using a tablet.
Looking for the Zenpad 3? Buy from ASUS official store through Lazada. Use coupon codes such as CITI Weekend for additional discounts.

SEOUL, President Moon Jae-in's approval rating posted its first rebound in four weeks this week, a poll showed Thursday, amid optimism about rapprochement on the Korean Peninsula in the new year.
Moon's support came to 47.9 percent this week, up 2 percentage points from the previous week, according to Realmeter's poll of 1,003 people across the country.
Moon wrapped up last year with his approval rating hitting a record low of 45.9 percent amid an economic slowdown and the presidential office's alleged surveillance of civilians.
His support rate hit 77.4 percent right after his first summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un in April its highest point last year.
Since October, the rate has been on the decline, hitting the 40-percent mark for the first time in November against a backdrop of poor economic news.
The pollster said that the rate rebounded this week after Moon's top aide for civil affairs attended a parliamentary hearing Monday to clarify the surveillance allegations.
Anticipation for peace was apparently given a lift by North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's New Year's speech and U.S. President Donald Trump's tweeting that he looks forward to a second meeting with Kim.
The North's leader said Tuesday that he is firmly committed to denuclearization and ready to meet with Trump at any time. But he also warned of the possibility of taking a "new way" if the U.S. sticks to pressure and sanctions on Pyongyang.
The support rating for the ruling Democratic Party gained 1.2 percentage points on-week to 38 percent this week. But the rating for the main opposition Liberty Korea Party declined 1.9 percentage points to 23.8 percent.
The poll had a margin of error of 4.4 percentage points and a 95 percent confidence level.

In Malaysia, where religious and racial friction is commonplace, cultivating social cohesion remains a great challenge.
A religiously restrictive environment will only push people, including Muslims, away from Islam.
Would Malays contribute to building non-Muslim houses of worship?
Do you think we could see a situation where the Malays would willingly and generously contribute towards the building of a church, temple or shrine?
Hijabsta Ballet is proof that Malaysian Muslims do not want to understand the religion of Islam by discouraging intellectual discourse.
Okay, let’s add the backstory and some context to the issue.

What did your student fees pay for anyway? Library access? The student association? The health center? Chances are that unless you're a recent graduate (or you're in school now), they didn't include a mandatory "green fee," a small charge of about $3 to $5 per semester that helps the university finance things like renewable energy and energy conservation technologies on campus.
I would have expected these extra fees to be a sore point with already maxed-out college students and their parents -- even though they're comparatively small when you stack them up against the majority of college expenses. Wrong. Today, Green Inc. featured a post on such fees and the rising number of students pushing to self-impose them.
The Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education maintains a list of universities with "green fees," along with information about the fee rate, the percentage of students that approved the increase and details about where the money goes. On the list, you'll find big public schools like University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and smaller private institutions like the University of the South (which, by the way, has heftier rates than most).
Not all students have the final say in whether or not to impose fees, though. Florida and Texas universities require legislative approval for any fee increases; if the students want an increase, but the legislature isn't quite so gung ho, no dice.

Nigel Clough is relishing a busy December with three of United's next four League One matches being at Bramall Lane.
Following Saturday's clash with play-off chasing Swindon Town, Oldham Athletic and Tranmere Rovers both visit South Yorkshire over the festive period and Clough knows a health return of points will be crucial to the Blades chances of steering themselves away from League One relegation zone.
Despite stating his desire to see the Blades show more as an attacking force at home, the boss says it will be important to strike a balance between being tough to beat and more of a threat offensively.
Clough said: "We know the importance of winning your home matches and obviously this season we haven't picked up enough points on homesoil.
"In recent weeks, particularly on the road, we have been solid and resolute and it is vital we are the same at Bramall Lane.
"We can't afford to go out and be kamikaze in our approach, but at the same time we can't sit back and just expect things to happen because more often than not it won't."
Looking ahead, the manager continued: "We have had some long away trips lately, so it is nice that we have three home games in quick succession on the horizon. If we could pick up at least two wins from those fixtures then I will be confident we are moving in the right direction.
"Ideally if you are winning consistently at home, points on the road are a bit of bonus, but in our position every point; however it comes is absolutely vital."
