Are you still on course for the Berkeley move? That will be phenomenal if you can organise the funding for it!
My boss wants me to apply for the Marie Curie scheme next year, so still hoping to get to the States in the next few years. People in NYU, Georgetown and Berkeley are keen to have me over, so funding is the only obstacle.

Talking about PCs mine was running horridly slow for the last few nights and I noticed that explorer.exe (my desktop) was gradually robbing CPU until it was up to 70% preventing anything else running.
Looked on the Internet for a few hours last night (most of which was spent rebooting as explorer.exe would freeze the machine after a few pages of reading).
Seems its a known problem with Vista but no-one was clear on the solution and different things worked for different people.
Suggested solutions ranged from the plausible (remove broken shortcuts from the desktop, remove indexed searching on the C:\) to the unlikely (change task bar setting from on-top to hidden) to the timeconsuming (install process monitor to find out which registry key is getting used, then use some other process to see program that registry key relates to) to the malevolent (remove all anti-vurus and download notatrojan.exe from my webpage).
And the solution which finally worked for me was so bizarrely unlikely that I nearly didn't bother with it - I changed my desktop from Medium Icons to Large Icons, explorer.exe immediately went back to 0.01% and everything running fine since.
Strange stuff, might make sense to zod or someone.

The fact that my kid would have to sit exams at 11 to decide her whole future. The people themselves are great and I've been treated great there - objections are purely philosophical.

Should we expect a second half backlash Kev??
The wind will be a factor obviously but ae Dublin goal early in the second half would kill it

Originally posted by Hitchhiker's Guide to... View PostWell, just generally dislike the A-levels in any case, which ye thankfully don't have in Scotland. But isn't Grammar school entry decided by an 11+ exam?
The boys secondary school here St Eunans has an exam to get into it. I think its a horrible thing to do to children if all your friends get in and you don't
What don't you like about A levels? it's just taking the education a bit higher is it not? In Scotland they now have GCSE exams to bring them into line with England and they do Highers and sixth year studies. If you get good grades in your SYS exams you can enter Uni at the second year.
the Scottish system was too far ahead of the English that they changed our system to bring it into line. I would say that the fact that the exam results were higher and we could get into English Uni's ahead of the English would not have gone down well as the English couldn't do the same as they didn't have as high a standard of education.

From BBC updates- My only way of following the golf this weekend
2025: Sorry for blocking up your laptops or mobile screens there, but I just couldn't find the urge to edit out too much of what Jack Nicklaus was saying there. Stunning. Wisdom. A lesson for us all in anything we do in life - "Just believe in yourself, play within yourself, understand yourself, understand what you can do, and do what you can do." Sweetness.
2023: More words from Jack Nicklaus. "When I saw him at Muirfield Village (two weeks ago) I hadn't seen him since The Masters. I just said 'I'm sure that you learned from your mistakes and what happened. Don't worry about that. We all make mistakes'. All good players have to make mistakes before they can have successes. Sometimes it's better to have mistakes because if you only have success all of a sudden if you make mistakes you can't figure out why you made them. Pressure is what you live for - you want to have pressure on you. You don't want to come down to the last hole needing to make par to finish 20th. You want to come down to the last hole with pressure on you to win. Everyone is going to put pressure on you. If you are going to be successful you're going to have pressure, so you just have to learn to live with that, deal with that, and to handle it yourself. And we all handle it differently. I would hope he learned from his mistakes." And on mistakes he made in 1963 at the British Open when he lost by a shot after going in a bunker on the last: "I have kicked myself for almost 50 years for blowing that tournament, but I knew why I did it. That was my question to him. You made some mistakes and I hope you figured out why you made those mistakes, why you did something that didn't follow what you normally do."
2029: With McIlroy and Yang half an hour from teeing off, I'd like to offer you some sweet words from 18-major winner Jack Nicklaus talking about meeting Northern Ireland's star in the making. "I like his moxie - I suppose that is the right word. I like the way he carries himself. We talked about the things I did when I was playing. He was worried about that he couldn't finish and couldn't win. I said not to worry about it. Instead of shooting 36 or 37 the last nine holes one day you'll shoot 32 or 33 and win. Keep playing; keep your nose to the grindstone. You don't have to try to push something to happen. One day it will just happen, if you keep working at it and trying. Just believe in yourself, play within yourself, understand yourself, understand what you can do, and do what you can do. That was the basic message."A basic message? Brilliant. I'm sure those words are resonating right through his rumbling tummy right now.
Hopefully those words will just add to the pressure. I've nothing against Rory McIlroy except my money.
