Bah. This was about as anticlimatic as Y2K

ccmfans.net is the Central Coast Mariners fan community, and was formed in 2004, so basically the beginning of time for the Mariners. Things have changed a lot over the years, but one thing has remained constant and that is our love of the Mariners. People come and go, some like to post a lot and others just like to read. It's up to you how you participate in the community!

It only takes a few minutes, and joining will let you post your thoughts and opinions on all things Mariners, Football, and whatever else pops into your mind. If posting is not your thing, you can interact in other ways, including voting on polls, and unlock options only available to community members.
ccmfans.net is not only for Mariners fans either. Most of us are bonded by our support for the Mariners, but if you are a fan of another club (except the Scum, come on, we need some standards), feel free to join and get into some banter.

Listening to Dr Karl this morning, he was saying that there isn't actually enough power in the grid to supply the LHC and Geneva druing winter due to the higher power consumption of heaters, so the LHC will get shut down over winter.

THE world's largest particle collider will be down for at least two months following a helium leak into the tunnel, a spokesman for the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) said today.
CERN spokesman James Gillies said: "There has been an incident in a test. One section of the machine will have to be repaired.''
He said a fault occurred yesterday afternoon, resulting in a large helium leak into the tunnel.
It was turned back on again yesterday, but the latest incident has forced operations to halt again.
Experts have been into the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to inspect the damage.
"Preliminary investigations suggest that the most likely cause of the problem was a faulty electrical connection between two magnets, which probably melted at high current leading to mechanical failure,'' Mr Gilles said
There was no risk to people, the centre said, and a full investigation was in place, he said.
As the sector where the fault occurred would have to be warmed up for repairs to take place, the LHC was expected to be halted for "a minimum of two months''.
