If you're moving to London, there's a sprinkling of Aussie/Kiwi owned coffee shops that do decent espresso now, and Café Nero's Flat White is generally drinkable. Still wouldn't order a doppio from them though.

0 to 3 in ~six months? You don't do things by halves .

For my money, H and P are the two most solid for rookie exits. B has the advantage that one team member stuffing up the exit is less likely to funnel the whole thing than most of the others. If you're likely to be an OC, your job #1 is to make sure your hips are presented to the relative wind. Job #2 is to launch up, so IC and tail have room to get below you.

Depends on what you want to do. High-level competition? Get doing yoga/stretching and have a pretty decent level of cardio fitness. All you want to do is fall out of a plane, grin at yer mates, and have a beer afterwards? If you're not morbidly obese or too small+light to pull the toggles down, you'll be fine.

Felicitations Mademoiselle! What are you going to spend the cash on?

Because I said "easy". If you're savvy and current-enough with tech to wipe-and-rebuild from an ISO without losing all your content, you definitely don't need my advice on how to deal with adware-laden machines.

Superfish isn't in the firmware. Superfish works by changing a) intercepting your internet traffic, and b) changing who your browser will trust to say "you're connecting to google.com". These don't require firmware changes. If you buy from Microsoft, the promise is that you're getting a machine with Windows, the necessary drivers, and no other crap.

How this came to be: In the consumer market, there is next to no profit on PCs and laptops, unless you're Apple. I wouldn't be surprised if Lenovo were making $10-50 a laptop in profit. That's not a lot. The differences between various brands of PC laptops are so small (they all have nice screens and run Windows), that you can't get away with charging more - if you do, consumers buy an Acer / Dell / etc instead. So, about a decade ago, computer manufacturers started accepting money to pre-install programs on their consumer PCs. This started with programs like McAfee Anti-Virus - McAfee/Symantec would pay the computer makers to install it. This payment was the difference between profit and loss for the computer maker, so it became extremely important. Over time the quality bar dropped and dropped (gotta hit those quarterly numbers), and now adware installed on a brand-new machine is really common. This is why Microsoft started the signature program: http://www.microsoftstore.com/store?SiteID=msusa&Locale=en_US&Action=ContentTheme&pbPage=MicrosoftSignature&ThemeID=33363200 How this specific fuckup happened: Lenovo took money from a company to insert ads into the browsing experience of all purchasers of their consumer laptops. This was slimy, but not uncommon. They didn't do their technical due diligence, and the way Superfish operates makes a computer running it an easy target. There are two easy ways to fix this: pay more for a Signature Experience machine, or buy a Mac. I would generally recommend the latter.

I was in the band that did our high-school graduation, and teacher in charge vetoed that song in under 1 second. Despite being a religion teacher, she knew exactly what it was about. Yeah, I couldn't get past the fact that an 8yo was singing songs about sex and domination and bondage. Oh well. She sings alright though...

It's really disturbing listening to an 8-year-old cover that song. Do her parents not know what the lyrics mean?

For comparison, here's a few other manufacturers: UPT (Vector): "Current Delivery Time: 40 Weeks" Sunpath (Javelin): "Our current delivery time is 18 weeks." Rigging Innovations (Talon, Curv): "Current Delivery Time (as of 10/20/14): 14 Weeks" Infinity (Velocity): "9-11 WEEKS" Aerodyne (Icon): "Current Lead Times: Icons 10 - 12 weeks"

Yoga, yoga, yoga, yoga. Best thing ever for loosening out tight hips and stiff backs. And never too late to start!

The margin should not be that slim on a modern transport category aircraft. The aircraft in question was delivered last year. At a total guess: they radioed an engine out, but the video shows both props spinning. If they failed to feather the flamed-out engine, that would explain the stall and roll.

From my perspective, as a fairly neutral reader, and irrespective of whether you meant it to, your post did come across as a dig at Nataly.

Raeford is plenty powerful. But let the tunnel know ahead of time about your size + weight so they can make sure to have a suitable instructor on hand.

There's an old saying "men's egos are large, but fragile." Getting rejected hurts, even if you were planning to reject the same person. Most of us secretly want every woman in the world to fancy us. Not logical, not sensible, but true. Doesn't excuse bad behaviour though.

Wrong way 'round. 40 F = 4.44 C 41 F = 5 C 21 F = 5.56 C 4 C = 39.2 F 5 C = 41 F 6 C = 42.8 F For every degree F, you move ~0.6 C. For every degree C, you move 1 C. Therefore a integer F scale is more precise than an integer C scale. For a 3 digit display, here are the max and mins: Celcius: -99 C to 999 C Fahrenheit: -99 F to 999 F, which is -72.78 C to 537.22 C So, a 3-digit celcius LCD has a greater range of temperatures than a 3-digit fahrenheit LCD.

Bon année a toi! Here's to a 2015 full of sex and adventure .

Sounds like you're heading in a sensible direction. Post a pic when you find a pup .

Good call. The lab mix could be a very fine idea - they're also fairly trainable (as they're super-food-motivated). I'd be looking to find a chilled out dog training club. My experience was that it was 25% training the dog, and 75% training me to communicate consistently in a way the dog could understand. But dogs are cool. Enjoy .

If you've got a young kid in the household, you really want to select for a breed that loves kids, and which, if you don't get the training absolutely perfect, isn't likely to hurt the kid. Which would rule out the bull breeds. Again, unless you're an experienced dog trainer

Relatively large, batshit crazy, hyperactive? I wouldn't, unless you know exactly what you're letting yourself in for... Lovely dogs, but probably not for the average person.
