    sphinx issue We tested the sphinx .NET client in our environment and found that the average response time is 200ms. However, the same queries performed by the search console utility show the average response time about 7ms. Looks like the slow response time is caused by network. We have added the following lines in TcpSocketAdapter.cs ... The average response time was reduced to 50 ms on our environment. It would be great if this settings will be presented in public interface.

    the duck story Yesterday we as usual walked with my dog through the park. It's a very big bushy city park that looks just like forest. There's even three lakes. When we has gone toward one of the lakes we saw a big flock of ducks that swam at the center of it. My dog is Husky that's why she have a very strong hunting instincts. The view of potential prey makes her very excitable. She run into the water immediately. I thought that the flock will saw the dog and run away but there was a fog over the lake and Ashley swam very close to the ducks. When they saw her they didn't fly. They began to swim away very slow instead. Two ducks split from the flock and began attack the dog. I suppose they was something like duck security. Ashley chased the ducks for few hundred meters before she tired and understood that she have no chances. After it she turn to the bank and the ducks and dog exchange the roles - the ducks began to chase after the dog. When she reached the bank she rested very long time on the back. I don't think she will talk about that hunting with another dogs.

    the Balda game

    There's a very common game in Russia. We call it Balda. I wasted so many time on it when I was at school :)
    Here's the rules:
    - there's 5x5 field and the word in the centre
    - the players add one character in turn on purpose to form new word. The new word must be formed by iteration through adjacent fields(not by diagonal)
    - each character in the word is a point
    - only nouns are allowed

    Generally it intend for two players but may be we try to play all together :)

    For example:

    -------------------
    | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ |
    -------------------
    | _ | _ | _ | _ | _ |
    -------------------
    | t | a | b | l | e |

    I like Italy, although I've never been there. It located near the sea, has warm sunny climate and beautiful landscapes. And you always may reach Alps during few hours and enjoy mountains. I've never met Italian people but I heard they are hot emotional persons and I like it.
    About the country that I don't plan to visit, It's Pakistan. I heard it's troubled place.

    I heard that the oxygen in atmosphere protects us from the harmful sun emitting. May be we will hurt from radiation during these five seconds. Or may be we will be attacked meteorites that didn't burned because there was no oxygen.

    There is so many variants when you break up with your lover. You may climb Everest, whack someone in the face, get whack from someone, jump with parachute, piss on Egyptian pyramids during the flight. The most important thing is doesn't hang down your head :)

    the Altai journey There's a very interesting place in Russia that calls Altai. It's a mountain range where Russia, China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan come together. Some regions of Altai are belong to UNESKO World Heritage. It's a place with untouched nature and ultimate beauty. I always had a big desire to visit Altai and I made that journey last year. It was a trip on the horse back because the horse is the most common way to move in that region. Our explorer told me that local folk have a few horses in every house. We was moving through the absolutely wild places during twenty days. I've never seen so beautiful landscapes and so huge set of animals. We saw bears, mountain goats, unusual birds and many another animals every day. It was another world with a life so different from a life in the big city. It's a great feeling when you absolutely relaxed, have no problems and think about nothing. You sleep under the big cedar near the waterfall, wake up early morning, cook the breakfast, catch the horse (it walking free all night) and you are ready for the next wonderful day. We walked nearly 300 km during that trip. I would say it was one of the brightest impressions in my life.

    Two Italian mobsters had been torturing the Jew for few hours in order to make him sign something. But he was a very tough guy and didn't give up. On purpose to inspire himself he become to tell them a legend

    <em>- You ever heard of the Masada? For two years... 900 jews held their own... against 15, 000 roman soldiers. They chose death before enslavement. And the romans, where are they now?</em>

    <em>- You're looking at them, asshole.</em>
