![]() Spears are used when an external tool is ineffective in grabbing the pipe. This tool features a small internal catch, and is used to retrieve pipes from a well. There are several types of well retrieval tools, including the releasing spear. To avoid this problem, it is essential to maintain the quality of your water regularly by performing staining repairs as required. They can also cause discolouration of light surfaces, such as concrete, brick, and metal. ![]() These substances can corrode metals and lead to expensive repairs. These stains are caused by the iron, manganese, or calcium present in the groundwater. Staining Groundwater bores and spears can become stained, or tarnished, with time. This method may cost more initially, but is worth the trouble later when the bore is contaminated. Starting the grouting process at the bottom of the hole prevents air from being trapped or clogging the hole. The process of grouting involves pumping cement or bentonite into the annulus from the bottom of the hole. Filling annular space between case and side of hole Sealing a well casing involves filling the annulus, stopping water from flowing down it. These tools are used for wireline coring operations and are hardened steel. ![]() Taps are a different type of tool used to retrieve pipes from a well. These tools are often used when external catch tools are unable to grasp the pipe. The tools are made by Bowen(r) Itco and include design features that allow the tool to release caught objects. Another tool used for retrieving pipes from a well is the “releasing spear,” which is a long steel, conical-shaped device that is lowered into a well pipe and “spears” inside. Impression blocks are available in a variety of sizes and shapes. Its unique design allows it to fit inside an existing pipe bore and does not require a special jig or adapter. This type of anchoring mechanism allows the pipe spear to move in any direction while still maintaining an impression. This tool features a “slip tooth” anchoring mechanism. Impression blocks The “Fetch” pipe spear can be purchased for $500. The device is also known as an overshoot, a fishing device that fits over the exterior of the well pipe and grabs onto it. These spears are also made of stainless steel or zinc, so they can be easily cleaned and reused. The “Fetch” pipe spear has a unique anchoring system that allows it to be positioned in multiple directions without falling out. A pipe spear may be purchased from a store for $500. Using a tap to retrieve piping, it is turned into the open end of the pipe. Taps, on the other hand, are conical-shaped devices used to retrieve pipes from boreholes. Typically, these tools are used to retrieve tubing from wells when external catch tools are insufficient. These tools are threaded and have internal catch features, which allow the device to release objects it catches. Listed below are some useful tips: Releasing spear A releasing spear is a specialized tool that is used for retrieving pipe from a groundwater borehole. ![]() The process is simple and straightforward with the help of The Bore Company, but there are some important things to remember. Read on to learn how to fix these common problems and avoid costly repairs. It covers releasing the spear, filling the annular space between the case and side of the hole, staining, and impression blocks. So ancillary programs were developed to digest these hand histories, refining the raw data into a vast array of statistics concerning each player’s proclivities, habits, and style of play.The following information will guide you through the process of making repairs to your groundwater bores and spears. Oddly enough, the poker sites themselves created the need for some mechanism that could interpret the voluminous hand histories they send to each player. And some poker sites have gone so far as to prohibit HUDs in most or all circumstances (sit ‘n goes, cash games, tournaments). While poker HUDs are not illegal, many people don’t like them for that reason. However, they display information and statistical tendencies you might not become aware of in a matter of days, let alone in seconds. They don’t give away confidential information. It would not show you data that did not already exist on the trading cards. For ExampleIf you had a set of MLB trading cards, a HUD designed to display individual data would show you a comparative statistical analysis of each player.

![]() (In fact, both versions got it from the same source: IBM’s Symphony.) Indeed, Apache has had to replace OpenOffice code that was copyleft-only, but when it introduced a big new sidebar, LibreOffice was able to incorporate it immediately. It means that LibreOffice can take code from Apache OpenOffice (that’s the point of permissive licences) but Apache OpenOffice can’t take code from LibreOffice (that’s the point of “copyleft” license)s. The difference in licences puts Apache OpenOffice at a disadvantage. Not everybody wants to write free code for somebody else’s benefit. However, OpenOffice has changed from a “copyleft” (GPL) licence to a permissive Apache license, which means anybody can use the code for commercial purposes. “Copyleft” licences try to ensure that the code contributed by open source programmers can only be re-used on the same terms. LibreOffice is being developed under two “copyleft” licences: GNU’s LGPLv3 and the Mozilla Public License (MPLv2). Indeed, Christian Schaller, a software engineering manager at Red Hat, recently wrote An Open Letter to Apache Foundation and Apache OpenOffice team to suggest that they “re-direct people who go to the website to the LibreOffice website instead.” But then IBM pulled out as well, giving its Symphony code to Apache.Īpache looks determined to continue the development of Apache OpenOffice, but without Sun, Oracle or IBM programmers, and without the sort of community support that powers LibreOffice, it’s hard to see the point. IBM needed the code for its own office program, Lotus Symphony, which was another OpenOffice fork. ![]() It laid off the programmers and gave the code and trademarks to the Apache Software Foundation, under Apache’s liberal open source license.Īt that point, a handful of IBM employees were doing the majority of OpenOffice programming. After LibreOffice came out, Oracle released one version of Oracle Open Office before deciding that the project wasn’t worth the effort. Sun Microsystems was also failing, and it was taken over by Oracle, the database software company. Dissatisfaction with Sun’s stewardship eventually prompted most of the open-source developers – along with backers such as Novell, Red Hat, and Canonical – to defect, and they forked the code to create LibreOffice. As a result, it never developed much of a community. Much of the programming was done by Sun staff, and open source contributors were obliged to give Sun rights to use their code in its commercial version of Star Office. OpenOffice was born when Sun Microsystems bought a failed German program, Star Office, and made it open source. This includes faster development, better distribution, a slicker website, and a greater focus on meeting customers’ needs. Third, LibreOffice has a better marketing strategy. Second, LibreOffice’s choice of open source licences gives it an advantage. First, LibreOffice has many more programmers and far more community support. There are three reasons why I think LibreOffice will win.

If you want to impress your friends in conversation, you should keep track of your Mac’s fans and relay to them how fast they tend to spin during particular tasks. If that doesn’t solve your issue, consider heading to an Apple Store, or another authorized repair shop. In these cases, resetting the SMC often works-this is the low-level controller that manages thermal management and other things. If the hardware report says everything is fine with your fan, your issue is probably a software one. ![]() But look at all the steps carefully, and only proceed if you’re completely confident you can get this done yourself. ![]() It’s not impossible, however: check out iFixIt‘s guides if you want to attempt the repair yourself. I managed to replace my own broken fan on a 2011 MacBook Pro, but the internals inside more recent Macs are a great deal less friendly for home repair. My advice: head to the Apple Store or any authorized Apple repair shop. If you have a broken fan, you need to replace it. Your Mac will test your hardware, and let you know if your fan is broken. Turn your computer off, then hold the “D” key while turning it on. Think your fan might be broken? The first thing you should do is launch Apple Diagnostics, one of the hidden startup options on your Mac. But for the occasional test, it’s nice to have control-just turn things back to automatic when you’re done. I really do not recommend disabling the automatic fan control: leaving your fans on constantly will wear them out and waste energy, and leaving them off will overheat your Mac over time. Turn the fan up and see if you can hear anything. ![]() Their good looks, vast apartment, and interactions with the babysitter signal these two have it all. The film begins with a couple getting ready for a Christmas party. The film asks whether our safe, happy, normal lives require us to, essentially, keep our eyes wide shut: to sleepwalk and dream, wearing a mask that helps us ignore our raging, roaring ocean of feelings, lest they overwhelm us if given the chance. “Don’t you think one of the charms of marriage is that it makes deception a necessity for both parties?”-Sandor Szavost, Eyes Wide Shut It takes Kubrick’s trademark skill for putting human nature under a microscope, and does that very close to home, peering without bias at the lies that underlie any marriage. If you revisit the film, though (and now is a perfect time to do that, for its 20th anniversary) Eyes Wide Shut is powerfully terrifying. Stanley Kubrick’s final film was one of his rare box office successes, but it’s among his more underrated works, and that’s perhaps because on first viewing, it’s a little difficult to put your finger on exactly what it’s saying. It explores the role that fantasies of strangers play in our sex lives, and it suggests that married people are, ultimately, also strangers to each other. The focus of Eyes Wide Shut is the scary connection between the erotic and the anonymous. Yet, to the woman’s husband who’s theoretically the person observing this view, the sight is mundane, and that’s signaled in the quick, casual nature of the shot.Įverything that follows in the story of the woman, Nicole Kidman’s Alice, and her spouse, Tom Cruise’s Bill, elaborates in the ideas embodied in that opening image. ![]() To the spying viewer, this is clearly an erotic image.

Here’s our take on how the Stanley Kubrick classic is still hauntingly relevant, 20 years later. ![]() (You can select "Important security updates" in the Updates tab in Software Sources, but uncheck "Recommended," "Pre-released," and "Unsupported" updates.) See if that prevents the problem. After installing, allow security updates and not others, but do update it.Then you can select from the bootable kernels that are installed and try out older ones. Hold Shift while booting to show the GRUB menu and (if needed) select Advanced options. By default Ubuntu keeps some older kernels, when a kernel update is installed. This fixes-or, in any case, works around-many hardware problems that start after an update. You can probably do this with your currently installed system. Therefore, you may consider proceeding in one of these ways: This is because some of the updates users receive are provided to patch security vulnerabilities that have been discovered. However, if they happened from updating your 14.04 system, then installing from 14.04.1 and not installing any updates is at best only a short-term solution. If the problems you had with the 14.04.2 ISO image were with the installation, using the old 14.04.1 image is usually a good solution. The md5 hashes for Ubuntu 14.04.1, including all the above-linked images, remain available on the 14.04 section of the UbuntuHashes page. Since those are the official primary download locations for these images, they should be expected to remain available (and I have tested the three links posted here-they all work). Instead it is on the cdimages server, which hosts many of the lesser-used ISO images: If you're looking for the image built specially for compatibility with 64-bit Macs, you'll notice that hasn't been archived there (at least as of this writing). You can get desktop images for 14.04.1 by clicking the link to that version, which brings you to the trusty folder.Īssuming you want one of the usual desktop ISO images (and not, for example, a server ISO image), you have 32-bit and 64-bit options, as with other releases: This often includes the older point releases of currently supported Ubuntu releases. Old releases of Ubuntu get archived to the old-releases server. ![]() In addition, all units and structures have a fixed cost, but they build at varying rates depending on the unit constructing them. Resources in Total Annihilation are handled in a manner different from other real-time strategy games of the day: they are "streaming", meaning that they are accumulated at a constant rate rather than in small batches and they are limitless. Near the bottom-right corner the Commander (with the yellow backpack) is visible assisting a factory in construction. The victory conditions of a multiplayer game generally involve the elimination of all enemy units, but the aim of single player campaign missions can be more specialized.Īn in-game screenshot of a Core base. Once given its commands, the unit will go about them automatically thus minimizing the need for the player's attention to small, repetitive tasks. A feature of the game is the ability to easily "queue" the many commands for a unit or group of units, with types of commands including patrolling a route, constructing a defensive group of structures and attacking enemy units. Every unit belongs to a level of technology (tech level) the higher the level, the more advanced the unit and the more resources and thus time required to construct it. Construction is governed by the possession of the game's two unlimited resources, Metal and Energy, and can be undertaken by factories or mobile construction units. The Commander is a powerful and irreplaceable unit that has a number of unique abilities such as a destructor weapon that vaporizes anything it hits, the ability to use cloaking and become invisible, and the ability to travel through bodies of water. When starting a new game, the player normally begins with a lone Commander. Battles take place against AI in a story-driven campaign, with the option of playing against other players in a skirmish mode. The player is also concerned with gathering resources, reconnaissance and stealth, and evaluation of units and terrain. ![]() The efforts of the player are centered on constructing a defensive base and an offensive force, and conquering opponents. Total Annihilation is set in the far future in the midst of a galactic war, with battles taking place on the surface of planets and moons. In July 2013, Wargaming bought the Total Annihilation franchise from the Atari bankruptcy proceedings. Other ex-members of Cavedog, including Total Annihilation 's game engine developer Jon Mavor, later went on to develop Planetary Annihilation in 2014, another game in the same vein as Total Annihilation. The Total Annihilation 3D project began in 2006. The creators of XTA, a mod for Total Annihilation, independently developed the open-source 3D graphics Spring game engine. Former lead designer Chris Taylor went on with Gas Powered Games to create Supreme Commander in 2007, considered the " spiritual successor" of Total Annihilation. Total Annihilation is no longer officially supported, due to the closure of Cavedog. After the closure of the Cavedog Entertainment in 1999, the intellectual property fell to Infogrames (now Atari).

She is the heart and soul of Blush, but also the butt of good-natured jokes. ![]() Maya is the most earnest (and an intellectual feminist), but she's also vulnerable and compassionate. There's lots of practical jokes and wicked schemes that sometimes (but not always) backfire. Maya and Jack Gallo, the irrepressible Dennis Finch, Elliot and Nina all supply laughs constantly. On Just Shoot Me, the characters are fleshed out from the beginning and their motives, personal and professional, are clear. Contrast this with Suddenly Susan, where the office setting is ridiculous because noone seems to belong there. Blush, as a setting for the hijinx, is perfect and the office setting seems organic and realistic, as opposed to lumps of furniture. Probably the best comedy ensemble on TV, and the humor is mostly aimed at adults. This is a fantastic show which always makes me laugh and giggle. I recommend this to anyone who can imagine liking it. I have not watched Back to You thus far, I am going to, trust me, I'm too big a fan of Grammar to not.

A lot of the gags have to do with humiliation, and there is gross-out/bodily function material, as well. While not every single episode was flawless, the laughs are guaranteed, and the finale manages to balance entertaining with sweetness and a nice, proper farewell to the show, in a way that few are able to. This had its share of celebrities popping up, and in general the guests, recurring or otherwise, tend to be cool. The character gallery is always well-stocked with colorful personalities, and in spite of the stereotypes that are apparent in many of the portrayals, this holds a lot of truths about many types of people. Do not miss this, if you enjoy when David does that. It's no secret that his caustic remarks are my favorite thing about this series. Colantoni is spot-on as the overly sensitive, womanizing photographer, and Spade gets to do his schtick of the pathetic, snarky guy who can't get a girl for the life of him. Giacomo is a positive surprise in the lead as angry and opinionated, Segal is, as expected, very good, as the naive boss who can't do anything by himself, Malick I honestly don't know from anything else, but she shines as the former supermodel who *refuses* to give up her glory days. The cast is marvelous, with all five regulars being immensely funny and having great chemistry with each other. So begins the seven years of Just Shoot Me, with the clever wit, sarcastic jokes, and sit-com humor that often has a relatively provocative subject or moral to it, and almost always hits the nail on the head. This is truly a must see!Īfter getting fired from her job at a news station for, yet again, letting her temper get the best of her in the face of disrespectful behavior towards her, feminist Maya Gallo goes to the fashion magazine run by her distant father, and finds herself being hired for a staff position. Good characters, simple yet complicated problems/plots, excellent writing, and a good setting (the work environment) is what I love about Just Shoot Me. Good writing with different story lines that don't get old is what makes this show one of a kind. I always find myself laughing like crazy at some of the simplest jokes. The scripts are extremely well played out with hilarious writing. But it has one of the funniest casts I've ever seen. The cast isn't made up of the ritzy, glamorous celebrities we usually see. The characters are good because they are down to earth, hard working people. I know that it is almost always in the top ten (I think), but I always read bad reviews or opinions on it. I was reading some Nielsen ratings charts and it looks like people go out of their way to miss this wonderful show. Just Shoot Me has one of the best times because it is after Friends, Cursed, Will and Grace, and before ER. Lets hope that this isn't one of the next ones to go. NBC has a tendency to let good shows go bad by lack of advertising. Usually NBC airs the previews for the Thursday night lineup and although they show Just Shoot Me previews, it seems like they tend to let it slowly slip through the cracks. It's like a league of its own because I noticed that it doesn't try too hard to attract a big audience. I find this show really funny and really real. |
