Discussion in 'The Trash Can' started by lala, Mar 25, 2013.
ITA! I'm shocked at how many people forget there is a short program factored into the score.
I love how only the quad counts in your assessment. Patrick had no triple axel.. Denis had two triple axels including a 3axel/3toe. I think two triple axels and a 3lutz more than cancels out the extra quad. Patrick also had no 3lutz. And the pass Patrick had his 3flip in was not clean. Denis absolutely out jumped Chan in that program.
Fine. Chan was not wuzgifted based on the current judging system. But a judging system that allowed a performance like that to place the way it did is seriously flawed. So to conclude, Chan may not be wuzgifted by the flawed system, but he definitely was wuzgifted by the judging system's being seriously flawed. And I'm sure that's what a lot of people are ultimately pointing to. Are you more at peace now?
I strongly agree with whoever that said a 1 point deduction for a fall in a program that has the potential to score 170 to 180 on average is hardly meaningful/justifiable.
There are so many different thoughts here that it's rather hard to articulate.
If Chan's victory was fair (as in the judges correctly applied the rules to the facts - ie skate) than the rules need to be changed, because I don't believe how he skated over the two programs was worth celebrating with a gold medal. If Chan's victory was unfair (that some/all the judges incorrectly applied the rules to the skate) the judges need to be educated on how to correctly apply the rules (and if they know how but are choosing not to, they do the sport no credit and shouldn't be judging). It's likely a bit of both, honestly, and that means it'll be harder to improve. But the sport has to try.
Why I object to these petitions and Plushenko's comments (not Wier, Eldridge, Harrison Choate, Christina Gao) is that their comments misdirect the discussion. Does Friedlander have any proof of politicking other than the general knowledge/feeling that it happens? How often is politicking used to discredit victories that we merely disagree with (Kostner wouldn't have done so well if she weren't from Cinquatta-land, Mao Asada won NHK 2012 because she's the Federation pet) etc etc. Because if she doesn't have proof and the discussion ends up being about how Skate Canada is the mafia of the figure skating world, what exactly gets solved?
That stated, I can point out that Denis Ten got higher PCS for a skate with five falls than a skate with three falls. I can point out that Jeremy Abbott's flawed free skates outPCS his clean ones. I can do this with virtually every senior skater that competes on the grand prix and/or multiple events in a season. It's an exhausting point to reiterate but it's true.
I was the one that said 1 point deduction in a 150~200 pts program is way undervalued and I have said repeatedly that I am for the system to change. I'm just pointing out the FALSE ACCUSATION that Chan's win is due to politiking, being the Saint of ISU, judging corruption, or whatever other reasons Chan haters are labeling him and Skate Canada.
Quite on the contrary. I think she knows very well what she is doing. (and no, I don't believe that awarding another gold medal is the real goal of her effort!)
What do you think her goal is? Stirring things up before the Olympics?
It can be several things. Making enough 'noise' and getting enough support to put a pressure on ISU to make changes in the scoring system (e.g. more deductions for falls or some bonus for clean program or whatever). Or it can have the same effect as the educational video that was given to judges before the last Olympics (it demonstrated the transitions and Plushenko was one of the skaters in the video...)
Oleg Vassiliev: "If Ten was a Canadian, would have received scores of 20-30 more»
If its all about being Canadian, how is it V&M with quite a brilliant performance at home, failed to get just the couple more points that would have given them gold?
She's a Chan Basher. It seems to be her only purpose for the last few years. I read one of her articles:
http://www.examiner.com/article/rewarding-failure-diminishes-figure-skating-as-a-sport and left the following comment:
"What a shame that you can point out that the flaws in figure skating are in the "system itself", an opinion that many legitimately share, including me, but then single out and bash Patrick Chan repeatedly. Horrible and so unfair."
In almost every article she writes she bashes Patrick, mocks him, calls him a Zamboni etc etc. She just starts to interest me on the subject matter and then she bashes him. I hate that, I really do.
Well said, Oleg. And if multi mistake Savchenko/Szolkowy were Canadian, they would have beaten Duhamel/Radford for the silver medal. But SS being non-Canadian, they had to settle for bronze.
Maybe Canada only has enough money to bribe for one discipline? That would explain the pairs and dance result, as well as the medal contender lady dropping off the podium.
I can't think of any other explanation at all.
Canada only politiks for Patrick!
No wonder Scott Moir is so pissy...
1. Osmond was never a serious contender (or if she had ever did have a real shot at a medal at Worlds, that would only suggest some heavy CSA politics for the home Worlds anyway) and skated like rubbish in her quite disaesterous and overscored LP. Her scores were in fact far too generous for her LP as it was, the same PCS as Sotnikova who skated much cleaner and has more general maturity in her skating at this stage of Osmond's devlopment, what a joke. While her SP was good I doubt she beats a clean Wagner in the short at this stage anywhere besides Canada TBH.
2. Duhamel & Radford would have never beaten a clean Savchenko & Szolkowy in the SP anywhere but Canada, and while some Canadians were upset they didnt win the silver, the truth is they wouldnt have been that close to S&S without them having a total meltdown at this stage in any other venue either. Canadian were almost silver and 4th, compare that to their results on the grand prix and all season and you think they were hard done by the judging of either the pairs or ladies, ROTFL!!
3. When countries politik usually one is sacrificed to help another anyway, and no countries can politik for everyone. Even Russia couldnt politik for everyone at the height of their power. Is this supposed to be news of some sort. If anything V&M could have been easily sacrificed to help buy votes for Chan (I am not saying this did or didnt happen, I dont even know if Chan's ridiculous scores and results are the CSA doing or just judges overrating him for that matter, but just hypothetically it is easy to imagine).
I am honestly flabbergasted that you decided to do a point by point reply to what was clearly a facetious post.
Their SD performance was relatively poor and cost them any chance to win. D&W had two very strong performances which V&M did not, and thus regardless who should have won the FD (I would have had V&M slightly but was fine either way) D&W were the clear winners overall. If anything after the scandalous mens results, the judges were careful how they scored the dance event.
It may have been facetious, but the post was motivated by the attitude that Skate Canada couldn't have possibly politicked at this competition or at least stemmed from a series of posts that mocked the very idea that Skate Canada politicked at this event. I'm not saying whether there was any wrongdoing, but I don't see how JJ's response was an inappropriate response.
I think the posts were mocking the idea that Skate Canada has outsized politicking prowess, not that it politicks. Every federation politicks. In very serious terms, I think the building of a myth of special power for Skate Canada and the enmity we are seeing generating from that myth is very harmful and malicious.
I just want to elaborate on this before someone makes the blanket assumption that I'm saying there's no legitimate reason to criticize the result of the Men's competition at Worlds.
A lot of legitimate concerns have been discussed in the various threads. Whether I agree or not, and to what extent, I think people have raised valid issues including 1. the way the PCS is implemented by the judges 2. the way the PCS is designed and whether it penalizes mistakes enough 3. the possible problem of judges assuming a kind of herd mentality which always over-rewards one particular skater 4. the possibility that reputation influences the judges
Its a huge leap from the legitimate criticisms and concerns to essentially, "Canada bought the bloc for Patrick." Its the latter, stated without evidence, that I think is harmful.
Eh, that's not quite true. What happened in the fall was during Skate Canada, at the post competition reception MRLG Benoit Lavoie and the Swiss judge were all at the same table talking. Apparently, Benoit Lavoie and MRLG were flirting and MRLG had said " I promised the Russian judge I would support them, but now that you're being so charming, I will have to reconsider". When she was asked about it after the fact during the disciplinary hearing/trial, she admitted to making the statement but claimed she was just flirting. However, she never made any statement proclaiming who the gold medalist was going to be. She later said that she wasn't approached by Gailhuguet concerning a deal until the Games themselves. I've long suspected Lavoie embellished that story,which is why I am pretty non-plussed at the idea of him having more power in the ISU.
IMHO that's up to interpretation. At the time I found it to be a toss-up, but understood that people simply responded more to S&P and felt disappointed.
Looking back on it, particularly in light of competitions like this years mens and pairs in 2008, it seems like much ado about nothing. The funny thing is, I don't really have issues with either of those two results either. I dislike that a performance like the one Chan gave this year won, but I'm also not getting the fuss. He won by the rules of the game .
When you said "People simply responded more to S&P...." you really meant people in Canada and USA. The competition was a toss-up based on how the two pairs skated. S&P skated a simple/easy program clean. B&S skated the most difficult program with one minor error (step out of the 2A which lasted for the blink of an eye; no disruption). In a toss-up most objective and knowledgeable fans are accepting of the result (it was a 5:4 result), but the way the US media created a storm it created the impression that B&S skated horribly, were falling all over the place, which was not true.
B&S's mistake cannot be compared with Chan's '2 falls and 2 other mistakes' performance, even though he too had the most complex choreography. If he won by the rules of the game, the rules must be modified to avoid such a scenario in the future. I am not convinced that reputation and political power were not factors in the scores each skater received- one from Canada and the other from Kazhakstan (big difference there!). I would say it's 60% fault of the rules and 40% the rest. The rules allowed the judges to bend them in certain ways. Results like this one are not good for the future of the sport.
Every federation does a give and take...The USFSA is powerful too and has really on D/W to all out politik for.
Your post would have merit if it wasnt for the fact that in many years and decades past people said the exact same thing but to far more enormous degrees about the German, Austrian, and most of all Soviet federations. While some of it was indicated to have truth about it (peoples eyewitness testimony mostly though which can always be dicey), if people, and many times Canadians and Americans more than anyone else, can suggest such things for years, then how is it unfair for others to suggest the Canadians are currently heavily involved in the same thing. People cant cry for decades about the big bad Russians and their evil federation and then cry foul when someone suggest that in their opinion Canada could be strong on the political side of things currently (which could be construed as a compliment in a way anyway, that is part of the sport and winning and always will be, like it or not).
Exactly. The USFSA puts all their weight behind D&W right now. Who else would they put it behind. Not saying they dont deserve their wins of late, IMO they certainly do, but they also certainly have the full backing of their strong fed. with no serious singles threats, obviously no pairs threats, etc....Canada supports Chan over anyone else right now, including V&M. They already have an Olympic ice dancing gold, and a singles star sells much better here anyway. Anyway contrary to the pre COP days it has suddenly become far more easy to BS the results in singles the way it used to be in dance.
For the sake of argument Skate Canada did politik hard enough for the judging panel to give Patrick the gold regardless of performance, do you realize how hard it is for those judges to do what they did in a span of a few minutes:
1. Give Denis Ten higher TES with factored GOE
2. Give Denis Ten enough PCS for him to win the FS
3. Give Denis enough score for the FS but not quite enough for him to make up the deficit from SP
1 and 2 are easy, but if you consider 3 it is really difficult with the way everything is factored from SP to FS and the GOE values on the elements. I doubt the judges have a computer running programs on the judging panel churn out what numbers to give for each PCS to achieve the above result. As a Electrical Engineer who studied advanced mathematics, it is almost impossible to do the above in your head. In fact looking at Denis Ten's score where he skated both programs brilliantly, the way his PCS went up was a sign that judges wanted him to win the FS and perhaps the whole competition because they are really cutting it close to the score they gave compare to Patrick. D10 was one rotation away to win Gold! No I'm not saying D10 wuzgifted, because if anything one can argue he should've receive higher PCS for his SP.
In summary... pointing the fingers are something that's untrue does not help the cause.
ITA, but just an aside: Politicking in the sport of figure skating is not considered "wrongdoing." Promoting and putting out buzz, influential observations, and kibitzing with judges and other powerful figures is all a part of what goes on. And then there's the stuff that is actual "wrongdoing," that even then won't generally get guilty parties in trouble unless they're caught or exposed red-handed. (But sometimes as re the infamous toe-tapping scandal, a slap on the wrist suffices and corrupt judges can later be reinstated if their fed has political clout, unless their actions precipitated a scandal of the proportions that the French judge was caught up in).
I disagree. Ashley skated with a lot of caution in London. There was no 3+3 attempt from her and she didn't skate with the same attack or speed that she had earlier in the season during the Grand Prix series. Wagner's last spin, the flying sit-change foot sit spin traveled pretty badly too. I feel Osmond skated with more speed and confidence. Plus, I appreciate her more genuine sense of emoting and charisma more so than Wagner's overdone pageant face, which comes off as too plastic for me. JMO.

By Richard Clarke in Lisbon
Arsène Wenger has explained the absences in his squad for the trip to Benfica this weekend.
Arsenal have taken 19 players to Lisbon for the Eusebio Cup on Saturday night but some key men are missing.
At the pre-match press conference on Friday evening, he explained the situation.
"Walcott is back in training but he is not ready just yet," he began. "Wilshere is injured on his ankle and it is very difficult to set a concrete deadline on his comeback.
"Nasri has a muscular problem. Cesc is just coming back from injury and he is not ready to play in the game. Diaby is out and Koscielny has a small muscular problem.
"Bendtner and Eboue are not in the squad because they might be going out of the Club.
"Koscielny and Nasri might be back for the start of the season. I don't think Fabregas will be ready to start the season because he has been out for a long time and has had no games. Walcott might be back and, as for Wilshere, it is very difficult to say."
The manager was pressed on the question of Fabregas given his appearance at open training during Members Day earlier this week and the continued speculation surrounding his future.
"I do not want to speak about the transfer of Fabregas because I have done that three years now in every press conference so I don't think there is any more need to add something," said Wenger. "I love Fabregas and I want him to stay, that is basically it.
"Everybody is free to think what they want. We cannot stop people raising questions.
"He is just coming back from injury and is not ready to play in a game. But he is not injured."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

Bilbao is a charming city located in the Basque, which connects Spain and France in the northeast. Although the Basque is its own region, separate from Spain, much of its culture is at least in part of Spanish origin. The city of Bilbao is one place where this is evident. It is both bustling and laidback, and has financial and commercial areas as well as cultural and social, making this a fun place for vacationing families and college groups. The flower shaped, titanium clad Guggenheim Museum is a must-see for those who have an interest in art history. The unusual architecture of this structure is breathtakingly different, and well worth a look from just the outside if time does not permit a museum tour. This museum draws visitors from all over the world. The Museo de Bellas Artes, another wonderful art museum, and the Museo Vasco, rich with exhibits, which depict Basque history and culture, are two other attractions you will not want to miss.Bilbao's city hall, built in 1892, is a beautifully designed and decorated structure that is fascinating to see. Guided tours of city hall are available, which take about an hour to complete. You can book an air tour of Bilbao and the Basque Coast, take a day tour and see the Basque coastline by boat, or enjoy the Hop-On, Hop-Off tour. A double decker bus goes all over Bilbao, and covers the most interesting areas of the city. You are allowed to get off when you like in order to further explore an area. Bilbao's restaurants feature some of the best Basque food in all of Spain. You will want to book your Bilbao hotel ahead of time to be certain to get the type of hotel room that you prefer. EasyToBook.com can help you to locate a discount hotel that will be perfect for your needs.

Tyrone Hayes + Penelope Jagessar Chaffer:
The toxic baby
Filmmaker Penelope Jagessar Chaffer was curious about the chemicals she was exposed to while pregnant: Could they affect her unborn child? So she asked scientist Tyrone Hayes to brief her on one he studied closely: atrazine, a herbicide used on corn. (Hayes, an expert on amphibians, is a critic of atrazine, which displays a disturbing effect on frog development.) Onstage together at TEDWomen, Hayes and Chaffer tell their story.
This talk was presented at an official TED conference, and was featured by our editors on the home page.

Have tried other B-12 lozenges before, felt no benefit. Have been taking Jarrow about a month now, and the difference in my energy level and mental focus has been noticeable and immediate. Will definitely buy this again.

Now I can't speak for anyone else, only as it applies to me. But when you have diabetic neuropathy, and your feet burn, and then you take Jarrow Forumla Methyl B-12 (I take 5000), and then your feet NO LONGER BURN!!!, well, it's a no brainer. The stuff works. No buzzing, no pins and needles, I keep my stress level down, and I do whatever I need to do to control my sugar. But (and I did this as a test). I bought another brand because it was cheaper and it was 3000 and it had folic acid and Vitamin C. Well, BIG MISTAKE. My feet went back to burning. I finished the bottle of pills, and immediately went back to my beautiful Jarrow Methyl B-12 5000. BEST THING I EVER DID!!! Thanks Jarrow
Very Good Results so far

I bought this for a friend who is currently getingt B-12 shots. Because this is sublingual it gets absorbed directly into he blood and avoids the digestive system. Some people are missing a cofactor required to absorb B12. This cofactor is called intrinsic factor. These folks can not get B12 from food. The methyl form of B12 is the reduced form and is a preferred choice. The other common form is cyanocobalamin which must be converted to the methyl form to be utilized. Some people have trouble with this conversion process and thus don't get much if any benefit from taking it. So far my friend has said he has more energy by taking one 5g lozenge a day. He said he may bump it up to one in the morning and one in the afternoon. It is unclear right now if he can eliminate getting the shot but he is feeling better in between shots and he may be able to extend the time in between. Taking a daily lozenge is much easier and cheaper than getting a shot at the doctors office every months or so. So if you are in this state, give it a try. Also, it is good to supplement with a good B-complex with 400 mcg of methyl Folate as that is also needed to fully utilize B12. You want as much in your favor as possible.

You can't get this formulation in Australia so decided to try it for my diabetic neuropathy. It works. If you take it with pycnogenol (100mg twice a day) and alpha lipoic acid (I use Jarrows slow release), after a couple of months its almost a cure. Also, nothing else I take gives me that extra zing in my step. I talked my wife and my in-laws into trying it. They think it's incredible and have been telling everybody about it. I sound like a pusher, I know. Try it. You'll see.
Awesome at first... HEADACHES afterwards!

Be very, very careful with this mega-dose of B12. Humans only need a tiny amount of B12 - 2-3 micro grams per day. These 5000 mcg tabs will blow you out of the water. That's exactly what happened to me. Firstly, it was awesome - after being slow, generally in the bad mood and not motivated to do anything in daily life (due to b12 insufficiency caused by veg diet) I started taking them and voila - I was almost immediately back into action! Heaps of energy! "Can do anything" attitude! But little I knew. After a couple of weeks on these I started getting headaches. Like really bad ones, lasting for, I kid you not, 2-3 days in a row. Imaging waking up with a headache. Going to work. Then going back home. Falling asleep. Only to wake up with that headache again. So, be very, very careful. I'd say get a mildel version of these. And if you get headaches - STOP TAKING THEM!
Interesting effect

I didn't notice any sudden boost in energy but rather i actually felt very sleepy for the first two times I took it. The bottle says once every three days but since I had not eaten any meat in over two weeks I took one a day for the first 3 days. After I slept like a rock for 2 12 hours nights of sleep (normal for me is 6-7), I felt like completely revitalized and rejuvinated...I am an elite athlete and can say for a fact that I have had improved endurance, and power output since taking this product. Also, I did not urinate bright yellow at all (even after first and second dose), so i assume it is being absorbed better as the label says... 4 stars....not 5 only because it made me so sleepy for the first few days.
Did the formula change?

I was taking this daily with great results and would have given it 5 stars. Then I noticed feeling worse after starting on a new batch. I am on a forum of people who take this for various health issues and there is a whole thread about people who had been taking Jarrow Methyl B12 who noticed less effectiveness. Not sure what changed, but clearly, something has. Will be buying a different brand for now, but for most other supplements, I love Jarrow.
Clearly one of the most effective methylcobalamins
Posted by Freddds-Active-B12-Folate on Sep 24, 2008 | Verified Purchase
I and my 3 children are hypersensitive to methylcobalamin. Jarrow is generally sensed within 10 minutes of using sublingually and is very effective. In 10 brands that we tested of sublingual methylb12 Jarrow was one of only two brands that rated 5 stars. I have had pronounced healing since starting this brand.

...but will he make people forget about Rodney White?
Is that like hypnosis or something? Because I'd love it if Darko would make me forget about Darth Tater.
Mateen misses the list thanks to the statute of limitations, otherwise, the Pistons would have three picks, and one on the roster. But, this is some tired summer filler anyway. Watch out Shaq, it's finally Kwame's time.
Makes me wonder if our 2 busts had to be that bad. Both came into the league with a lot of potential. Maybe there is something to that crucial 1st couple of years for a young player. If anything I hope they have learned that players cannot learn from the bench. At least not the ones who need to make mistakes and build confidence. With all that Denver had to put up with Carmello perhaps he would have been on that list if we had drafted him instead of Darko.
Bush: I never saw you on the floor what position did you play? Darko: I handed out victory cigars at the end of winning games
Darko had no idea who that guy was.
Michael Olowokandi???????? Darko Darko Darko. [sarcasm]Oh how we miss you.[/sarcasm] I wonder if Greg Oden makes the list before 2011. More than likely he didn't.
So both were clueless??
Where are all the Darko supporters? Shouldn't they be on here saying things like: "Darko has not been coached correctly," or "Darko is getting ready to unleash himself on the world; he just needs the right situation." Blah, blah, blah
When he's old enough, Darko will totally dominate the over-40 rec leagues in Canada.
Maybe they've finally realised we are a lost cause and we will never be brought around.
Who the heck picked Darko over Wade, Melo and Bosh? Oh yeah our resident genius Joe Dumar.
To answer your question I'll paraphrase, the only thing dumber than being a fool is arguing with a fool. Darko is not one of the top bust of the decade. Busts are good players that flame out. Darko may have been one of the worst draft picks, but there's a difference. Bad picks fall on the GM, you're picking a guy to high, ahead of better players. A bust is a guy with talent who refuses to use it. Think of Ryan Leaf and Eddie Curry. Even Kwame Brown who's been giving all of the chances in the world, and still stinks. Even if you think Darko qualifies as a bust because he's not living up to his abilities, ignoring draft position, he's still nowhere near as bad as the likes as Adam Morrison and and Yi Lian. A good take on where Darko really is as an NBA center was written by Charlie Rosen. And while Charlie isn't exactly enthusiastic about Darko, he has even worse opinions about the rest of the young NBA centers. Why there's a shortage of quality big men - NBA News - FOX Sports on MSN Darko Milicic (24) has all of the necessary tools to excel at this position, but waiting for him to realize his potential is like waiting for Godot.
On the flipside, DaJuan Blair looking like a major draft steal. He double-doubled (17+10) in 15 minutes today. His 3rd DD in 6 games. I know it's only the pre-season but it's not like he's been given 40 minutes a night. 5 Games, 18.6 Mins, 14.2 Pts, 61 FG%, 63 FT%, 7.8 Reb, 1.6 Ast, 1.4 Stl, 0.0 Blk, 0.8 TO, 1.8 PF That's not including today's line. Only thing he hasn't done is block shots (had 1 today though). Could he become the player Max never turned out to be? Did we NOT draft this guy because we already had Max? That would be a shame if that's the case.
Separate names with a comma.

'The Sabres controlled much of the play early in the third, and were rewarded for their efforts. Partick Kaleta scored nearly 6 minutes into the period to give Buffalo a 1-0 lead. Marc Gragnani and Paul Gaustad were credited with assists on the first goal of the series. That would be the only goal of the game. Miller finished with 35 saves in the victory, while Bobrovsky stopped 24 of the 25 shots he faced in the opening game of the series.'

James Lovelock's Gloomy Vision
James Lovelock, renegade Earth scientist and creator of the Gaia hypothesis, has written a gloomy new book called "Revenge of Gaia", in which he argues that we should be stashing survival manuals, printed on good old-fashioned paper, in the Arctic where the last few breeding pairs of humans will likely be found after a coming climate catastrophe. The book is not published in the U.S. yet, but it is available from amazon.co.uk. Lovelock has never been one to shrink from a bold vision. What is it he sees now?
Gaia In the first biogeochemistry class I took, I was assigned to read the first few chapters of Lovelock's 1978 book, "Gaia: A new look at life on earth". Since then, I have assigned those same chapters to every biogeochemistry class I have ever taught. Lovelock wrote very eloquently about the eerie stability of the earth system. The sun has been warming throughout its lifetime, and yet the climate of the earth has remained stable between the relatively narrow range of the boiling and freezing points of water. This observation was labeled the "faint young sun" paradox by Carl Sagan [1972], and now has at least a partial explanation in terms of the weathering of silicate rocks, the silicate weathering thermostat [Walker et al., 1981]. Lovelock also points out that the oxygen concentration of the atmosphere has been remarkably stable over the half-billion years since multicellular life appeared in the fossil record, never high enough to explode (doubled atmospheric oxygen would lead to unstoppable continent-scale forest fires), nor low enough to wipe out the animals. Nitrogen, Lovelock points out, ought thermodynamically to exist as nitrate dissolved in the oceans; the reason that most of Earth's nitrogen exists as nitrogen gas in the atmosphere is because of life.
Lovelock's bold leap was to envision life on Earth as a single unified organism, capable of regulating the environment on Earth for its own well-being, analogous to the way that you or I regulate the temperature and chemistry of our bodies. A weak version of the Gaia hypothesis would state that the geochemistry of the biosphere is regulated by negative feedback mechanisms, many of which include the effects of life on Earth as integral components. This statement is no longer controversial among Earth scientists. A stronger version of the Gaia hypothesis might conclude, as Lovelock did, that methane is produced by bacteria because Gaia requires a flux of hydrogen to the stratosphere and hence to space, as a long-term balance of her oxidation state. A new idea in "Revenge of Gaia" is that we animals dispose of excess nitrogen in a bioavailable form as urine, rather than saving water and energy by exhaling it as the biologically less available nitrogen gas, because Gaia prefers for us to keep the nitrogen available for plants.
The strong Gaia hypothesis raises issues of altruism and cooperation among different components of Earth's biota. I personally don't understand how a Gaian biota would be stable, in the face of competition between organisms. If an organism spent metabolic energy for the common good, would it not be out-competed by another more selfish organism? The evolution of Gaia is another difficulty. Darwinian evolution is essentially a process of trial and error. Evolving a Gaia leaves very little room for error.
The closest I ever came to believing the strong Gaia hypothesis was during a talk I heard by Lynn Margulis, coauthor with Lovelock on the first Gaia paper in the scientific literature [Lovelock and Margulis, 1974]. Margulis' claim to fame is that she championed the idea that organelles in eukaryotic cells might have originated as symbiotic relationships between multiple cells sharing the same external cell walls. This idea was ridiculed but is now settled as being probably correct. In her talk, she said something like, "The more we look, the more we see symbiosis in life. Gaia is simply symbiosis as seen from space". For an instant there, I saw the vision.

Posted by Richard Fichera on the Infrastructure & Operations Professionals Blog on October 15, 2010
There has been a lot of press about IBM's acquisition of BNT (Blade Network Technologies) focusing on the economics and market share of BNT as a competitor to Cisco and HP's ProCurve/3Com franchise. But at its heart the acquisition is more about defending and expanding a position in the emerging converged server, networking, and storage infrastructure segment than it is about raw switch port market share. It is also a powerful vindication of the proposition that infrastructure convergence is driving major realignment in the vendor industry.
Starting with HP's success with its c-Class blade servers and Virtual Connect technology, and escalating with Cisco's entrance into the server market, IBM continued its investment in its Virtual Fabric and Open Fabric Manager technology, heavily leveraging BNT's switch platforms. At some point it became clear that BNT was a critical element of IBM's convergence strategy, with IBM's plans now heavily dependent on a vendor with whom they had an excellent, but non-exclusive relationship, and one whose acquisition by another player could severely compromise their product plans. Hence the acquisition. Now that it owns BNT, IBM can capitalize on its excellent edge network technology for further development of its converged infrastructure strategy without hesitation about further leveraging BNT's technology.

I was reading up on this company and I noticed they give face-to-face courses in a variety of locations as well as online. Well because I work full time I probably wouldn't be able to get down to London to complete the face-to-face course. I am however near Cambridge. I'm actually a native speaker of American English rather than British English. I'm contemplating doing the online course due to the convenience factor and perhaps its the only option.
Here's the site, I checked the accreditation and they are accredited by a couple different agencies. Anyone heard anything bad or good about them?

Caring for a Person with Alzheimer's Disease: Your Easy-to-Use Guide from the National Institute on Aging
Getting Help with Caregiving
Some caregivers need help when the person is in the early stages of AD. Other caregivers look for help when the person is in the later stages of AD. It's okay to seek help whenever you need it. As the person moves through the stages of AD, he or she will need more care. One reason is that medicines used to treat AD can only control symptoms; they cannot cure the disease. Symptoms, such as memory loss and confusion, will get worse over time.
Because of this, you will need more help. You may feel that asking for help shows weakness or a lack of caring, but the opposite is true. Asking for help shows your strength. It means you know your limits and when to seek support.
Build a support system
According to many caregivers, building a local support system is a key way to get help. Your support system might include your caregiver support group, the local chapter of the Alzheimer's Association, family, friends, and faith groups.
Call the ADEAR Center at 1-800-438-4380, the Alzheimer's Association at 1-800-272-3900, and the Eldercare Locator at 1-800-677-1116 to learn about where to get help in your community. Below we list other national and local resources that can help you with caregiving.

Theo Walcott admits he feels increasingly confident in front of goal and is making big strides forward every season.
The England international scored his 10th goal of the campaign in Wednesday night's 1-1 draw at Everton, and once again impressed with a lively display.
Walcott has been pleased with his start to the season, and feels that he is only going to get better.
"Those are the sort of positions [at Everton] that this season and in the last few seasons I have been quite deadly in," he said. "When given a little sniff I am able to take it now. The goals [I have scored] show that.
"I think I scored 11 last season and 13 the year before. Not just that, but my general play [is getting better] as well. The assists are coming now, which is fantastic, and I am enjoying my football.
"I am very happy with the way I have started and it has got to continue. Hopefully I will take it into Saturday's game."Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc.

Candia's Grant reveling in Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra
By BENJAMIN C. KLEIN
Union Leader Correspondent | September 30. 2013 11:25PM
Grant, who says she tries to practice two hours a day on her concert quality harp, said she will now have to decide how she wants to approach her secondary education.
"Even if I go to a traditional college, I can always go back to grad school and study music," she said.
"If I end up becoming a physical therapist, that would let me have the full-time job I need while giving me the freedom to keep playing the harp on the weekends," Grant said.
Exposed to music at a young age by her parents, she said that her father, Bill, while a chemist by trade, is a musician at heart, capable of playing everything from the bagpipes to the cello.
Now, with only her senior year left, Grant will have a series of tough decisions to make regarding her future.
"I love the harp," she said.
Grant will be playing on Oct. 13 at the Symphony Hall in Boston with the rest of the BYSO, and again on Jan. 19 at the Sanders Theatre at Harvard University.

Shook, Hardy & Bacon LLP
Chair: John F. Murphy
Office Locations: Chicago, Denver, Geneva, Houston, Kansas City, London, Miami, Orange County, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Seattle, Tampa and Washington D.C.
Firm Overview:
Shook, Hardy & Bacon has long been recognized as one of the premier litigation defense firms in the country. For 125 years, Shook has defended companies in their most substantial national and international product liability, mass tort and complex litigation matters. Shook's success has captured the attention of many in the industry, including The American Lawyer, which recognized the firm as its Product Liability Litigation Department of the Year in its 2012 and 2008 contests, as well as a finalist in the 2010 edition. For 11 consecutive years, Shook has also been named the Product Liability Defense Law Firm of the Year by Who's Who Legal: The International Who's Who of Business Lawyer; the firm has repeatedly been named to the IP Law & Business rankings 'Who Protects Innovation in America?' and 'Top Guardian of the IP Nest'.
Main Areas of Practice:
Shook is known for its abilities and expertise in litigation – more than 90 percent of its attorneys are litigators, and many have advanced degrees in health and sciences fields. The firm has represented leading international companies in of industries including tobacco, pharmaceutical and medical devices, chemicals and automotive. In the past three years alone, Shook lawyers have tried more than 36 cases to verdict in state and federal courts, successfully defending clients against claims involving product liability, environmental and toxic tort, patent infringement, labor and employment and other claims.
Shook has represented leading pharmaceutical manufacturers for more than 40 years. The firm currently serves as National Counsel in litigations for four of the top 10 pharmaceutical companies, as well as for many other pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers. The firm has also represented US cigarette manufacturers in product liability litigation continuously since 1957, and currently represents the largest US tobacco company as lead trial counsel in its pending litigation.
In recent years, the firm has leveraged its complex product litigation expertise to expand into other practice areas. As a result, the firm has built substantial national practices in intellectual property, environmental and toxic tort litigation, data security and privacy, employment litigation, commercial litigation, government enforcement and compliance, and public policy. While product liability remains a core strength and a growth area for the firm, practice diversification has allowed Shook to offer innovative solutions to regulatory and compliance challenges as well.
Unbeatable Value:
The American Lawyer reported that Shook 'approaches potential new clients with an underdog's attitude', calling attention to 'the firm's experience handling litigation as effectively as the New York firm next door, but for less money'. The magazine has highlighted Shook's use of alternative fee arrangements for several years. Some 35 to 40 percent of the firm's work is covered by alternative fee arrangements. Shook was named a "Value Champion" by the Association of Corporate Counsel in 2012, 2013 and 2015 for working with clients on innovative, collaborative and savings-driven approaches.
Law360 reported similarly that Shook has 'stayed on top in the recession, leveraging its Midwestern roots to provide unbeatable value to clients', and the ABA Journal maintains that Shook has 'defended everything from pharmaceuticals and medical devices to automobiles, chemicals, consumer products and foods', adding that, 'part of its appeal, according to clients, are lower rates than those charged by firms of similar size and experience in larger cities'.
Shook has represented more than three-quarters of the current Fortune 100 companies. The firm's clients include global industry leaders who demand proven legal strategies. As a result, the firm has developed long-standing relationships with many of its clients. 'There is no short list for national counsel of a major pharmaceutical company that doesn't include Shook', said the former General Counsel of one of the nation's leading pharmaceutical companies in an article on Shook.

It's like 96 or 97 right now outside...
Well its starting to get hot up here in minnesota, 90's in the forcast for sunday and thats hot to us northerners. Just remember to bring plenty of cold liquids out to the range with you but keep those irons hot........."Good Shootin" .
It's like 96 or 97 right now outside...
I dont think i could take texas ,Im a whimp when it comes to heat but im still going fishing tomarrow with a high of 93.
I did some more yards work later in the day - it was around 100 around 4pm today...
Shipwreck, the temp really fails on people not used to the drastic swing in temps. I think we has a few days of -30 degree temps this winter and when it gets in the 90s, it feels really hot. Growing up in Texas, I never saw a 120-130+ degree temp change from winter to summer. About the coldest I ever saw in Texas was +15 and then the hottest was 106, I think. That's only a 91 degree swing. I still am not understanding why I live up here.
LOL..Thor my brother had to move to nevada he couldn't take the winters here any longer.When i was in the military we once flew from Alaskas -54 degrees ,not including the windchill to Panama for jungle training, in 112 degree weather.I was sick for a few days but being in good shape i survived but let me tell you ,nobody should go out onto a ocean break, lay down with a 12 pack of beer and fall to sleep when its over 110 degrees,by the time we left panama i was a darker shade of red then a cooked lobster.
We've never had a summer quite like it before - Thankfully. But, the year I moved to Texas, 1996, there was a terrible drought. It did not rain the ENTIRE summer. I wasked my car once. And, since it was a color that didn't really show dust, I never had to wash it again for the rest of the summer.
One day that summer, it hit 117! Geeze. Like I said, we've never come close to that again. I am glad.
You dont live in one of the metros do ya? I used to work in Arlington and with all the concrete and asphalt for 40 miles in every direction Ive seen more 120+ degree days than I ever want to see again
No, I live around the College Station area.
Was up in St Cloud, MN & Becker, MN today and temps were at 99 & 98 degrees. That's downright warm for MN.
I don't ever recall Texas hitting the 120 mark when I lived there. IIR, 106-107 was about the hottest. Cracks in the ground that could swallow a man whole, though. That was Dallas area and northwards. There were days we were thankful for Lake Texoma and the community pools.
Well, this was in 96. It was a strange year. I had just moved to Tx, and was wondering if that was how it always was :P
Im not talking about the OFFICIAL temp Recorded in the grassy area at DFW airport,Im talking about the temp measured in the shop at my place of employment.(and that was still in the shade) :-D :-DOriginally Posted by Thor
And as I recall the hotter it got outside the less breeze there was to help.Ive got a cousin lives up by Texhoma too....
I remember marching band practice that began in mid-July in Texas (Garland). By the time it was over, it was 104 outside air temp and the asphalt felt another 10 degrees warmer.
Working on the river, (Mississippi), now, it's been hot & frikkin HUMID with little or no breeze for the last week and a half. Thank God, it's supposed to get back to normal by Thursday.

Ctrl+Alt+Del key combination will bring the shutdown dialog. Clicking on the hardware shutdown button or closing the lid will suspend the system, as one would expect, so all the bashing around having to hold the
Alt key to shut down the system is pointless in my opinion.
Click on image to enlarge.
Key combinations come in handy, and once one gets the grasp of the shell, it is difficult to find something that can work faster or more efficiently. For instance, let's say a user wants to open system settings but doesn't know the actual application name. Likely to come from a Windows background, such user could think of using the term "Control Center" to find system settings... Well, all it takes is just one single keystroke on the meta key to open the Activities menu, type "control" and voila!, system settings shows up in the search results. Of course, if a user has no idea of what the name of the app is, s/he can browse them all or filter them by category, just like they would on a standard menu. Another great feature is that, thanks again to the great online accounts app, the shell search is capable of searching through contacts, even online docs stored in Google Drive.

GNOME Shell is, in my opinion, a great desktop manager. What people most commonly complain about (i.e., lack of flexibility and features) simply represents the learning curve that is there in every single UI in existence, as well as maybe denial of what the project was set to achieve with the shell. I believe the biggest problem in the adoption of GNOME Shell came from users who were incorrectly assuming it was GNOME Classic with a face lift. GNOME Shell represents a new paradigm in desktop management, one that brilliantly overcomes many of the burdens users have found for decades, while at the same time presenting an interface that finds a good balance between the needs of a touch interface and the traditional mouse and keyboard. Once again, as with any other UI, it takes a bit of effort to learn its quirks, but once passed that point, it excels in many ways. It should be obvious, though, that it will never be able to do something it was purposedly designed not to. In other words, the lack of customization options and emphasis on eye-candy are not shortcomings, but rather features of a UI whose target is to make things simple and stay out of the way so that users can concentrate on being as productive as possible.
Fedora is indeed empowered by many of the great features in GNOME Shell, but it also suffers from some of its shortcomings. In my opinion, the biggest one is very inflexible and poor energy saving, which is critical on portable devices.
Click on image to enlarge.
Out of the area of influence of the DE, Fedora 17 GNOME has also some strengths and weaknesses. I find it particularly falls short in the GUI software management area, thanks to a rather poor software manager. Users coming from more sophisticated alternatives, such as the Ubuntu or Linux Mint's Software Center (actually, about anything one can think of is fancier than
gpk-application), will feel like they traveled back in time. The natural tendency then is to rely on the wonderful
yum package manager, but that obviously implies command line usage, immediately making Fedora GNOME an advanced user distro in this department. On the bright side, though,
yum runs faster than ever now, I am impressed!
I briefly mentioned about improvements in SELinux and Firewall setup, both of which are welcome, but I guess I would expect their UIs to get a bit more love, at least be ported to GNOME3. The firewall one specifically, even with its own wizard for beginners, is quite un-intuitive. For instance, the confirmation that the firewall is running is a small text string at the bottom left corner of the window, which appears to have been designed for users to miss it.
Fortunately, Fedora 17 GNOME shortcomings are few and, perhaps with the exception of power management, shouldn't be too hard to work around. In any case, they should be compensated by the fact that users will be using a very robust and secure distro with a great implementation of GNOME3.4. Software is very up to date and, with the help of RPM fusion, also very safe, for almost anything users will ever need can be downloaded from the repos. Last but not least, Fedora 17 brings its users GIMP 2.8 by default!
Click on image to enlarge.
I had not reviewed GNOME 3.4 yet, and that's why I went into detail (somewhat) above. However, I have already DISCUSSED KDE SC 4.8, including its shortcomings, so I will concentrate on what is unique to the Fedora 17 implementation here.
The first thing I realized is that Fedora 17 may as well be the purest KDE experience there is out there. Unlike Kubuntu 12.04, which failed to deliver its promise to include Telepathy and Calligra by default, Fedora managed to do it, even sticking to Konqueror as the default web browser.
Click on image to enlarge.
The whole KDE PIM and Semantic Desktop suite of apps are also included, as do many of the most popular names in the KDE application catalog, including Marble. Now, this "pure KDE spirit" is not necessarily good or better than a different approach, but I guess it can be considered a feature for those seeking a desktop clear of any significant GNOME influence.
Unlike its GNOME cousin, the KDE implementation of Fedora 17 does a much better job at GUI software management thanks to Apper. Software updates are correctly and timely notified and clicking on them works as expected (heard that, Muon?), which is something many distros don't get quite right.
Clicking on the notification icon will bring, as should be expected, the list of updates, which can then be easily applied.
Click on image to enlarge.
Installing applications is also very convenient and intuitive, looking good at the same time. In case you didn't notice, yes, that's Java 1.7.0 that is available in the Fedora repos. One strange behavior is that the icon set in Apper categories does not seem to pick Oxygen icons, using the default GNOME counterparts used by default in Fedora GNOME, which obviously doesn't help it look better.
Click on image to enlarge.
Users get notified when applications have been installed and can run them straight from the installation dialog.
Click on image to enlarge.
Software management has indeed improved in Fedora 17 KDE, but the biggest improvement, at least apparently, revolved around KDE PIM and the Semantic desktop. Fedora 17 was the first KDE distro I had ever used which managed to run (almost) all of those components successfully without eating my machine CPU in the process. For the first time ever, thanks to the
google-akonadi libraries, I was able to get all of my Google contacts, meetings, tasks and mail working in Akonadi and for the first time, it was all apparently working without a struggle. Unfortunately, it was not to last.
Click on image to enlarge.
The screenshot above shows how it was all working without putting any significant stress on my machine. However, after shutting down my machine and booting the day after, it all went back to the usual horror story. I was getting 15%-20% CPU usage from Akonadi alone, which considering my machine is a quad-core Intel i5, is A LOT. Aside from gmail IMAP and SMTP, all other components stopped working and no longer synched, they were just apparently trying to synch forever.
Unfortunately, that was not all, because I kept getting crashes on
virtuoso-t every 2-3 minutes. A few more minutes passed and I just decided to shut all of it down, Nepomuk, Akonadi, etc. Fedora 17 looked like the ultimate KDE implementation, but after a short while it was just showing the same problems I have seen in any other distro to date. In fact, Fedora seems to have more issues than others, because those crashes from the virtuoso process are not common.
On a different set of things, Fedora 17 KDE also benefits from this release new features, including GIMP 2.8 straight from the official repositories.
Click on image to enlarge.
Similarly, the improvements to the system firewall are also there, so both KDE and GNOME flavors are equally secure.
Click on image to enlarge.
Fedora 17 is yet another solid step forward. As should be expected, though, Beefy Miracle is fully aligned with the distro's mission, offering plenty of features and current software, as well as other interesting bonuses like GIMP 2.8 with the by now infamous single window interface. Ease of use and stability are not within the top priorities of Fedora, so users will still find some rough edges and may suffer the consequences of living in the fast lane, so starters might benefit from sticking to other alternatives. Any other user, from those not afraid of the occasional tweak to full blown experts, will surely enjoy what Fedora has to offer. Finally, the choice of GNOME Shell or KDE is down to personal preference, but I have to say I was a bit disappointed by some elements in the implementation of the latter.

Is there a big difference between Boba Empire and Boba Return of the jedi ?

Is there a big difference between Boba Empire and Boba Return of the jedi ?
everything ;).......do a search w/ the search function.....there are a few threads on this topic :thumbsup
Predominately the colour scheme.. but there are quite e few greebles here and there that are different too... Too many to answer in this post. :lol
As Jluck suggests try the search function and all will be explained... ;)
pretty much the only differences are the soft parts and the armor.
seriously, just read up on old threads here and it will all make sense.
Do you mean costumewise, or the physical chest and body armour?
i think the shin tools and boots are the same, possibly the neckseal
A lot of things are different. Jet Pack, gauntlets, cape and especially color, scratches & battle damage. Generally speaking, ESB gauntlets, jet pack and body armor are the same basic bluish green color. On Pre-Production suits, the right gautlet is a reddish brown, the left is a dark yellow. On ROTJ, both gauntlets are red. The construction of the left gauntlet details are different on each version as well.
The shape of the body armor is basically the same throughout all three versions with some differences in the location and size of the dents, dings and scratches.
I would suggest searching for threads here on the differences. Also you may want to buy one of Brak's Boba Fett reference cds. It's money well spent. :)
If you want a basic Boba Fett costume that is easily recognizable for a Halloween party or something like that, all the details may not matter that much to you. If you want to get into the 501st Legion, then it matters more.
The best advice I was given was to choose a version YOU like and then learn about that one and build that version. After all, you are the one it matters to most.
Good luck, post pix and keep on trying. :thumbsup
Some one told me the under pants were the same, but this may not be true.
do a side by side comparison, you will for sure notice the color scheme is different, Gaunltets, Ammo belt have changed. don't know if Boba for sure goes "commando" but he'll have some explaining to do with that G string/Thong on the outside of his flightsuit????
Ahh yes, the "Boba thong". ;) I think it's unique to the ESB version. As far as going commando or wearing whitey tighties, he could be a knit boxer or boxer brief guy or he may be even more fashion-forward than that. :)
Maybe we'll learn the details on a future "Behind the scenes" DVD from George Lucas. :lol

Dear Ms. Pollard,
I am about to begin teaching pre-schoolers (5 yearolds) starting on Friday (10.15.), with parents present! They have never learnt English and I have never taught the language. I will be using Cookie and Friends, and this first lesson (a kind of presentation) will last up to 30 minutes. I would appreciate if you could give me some advice on what can I expect from the children,from the parents or some "trick" that always work to create an atmosphere or anything I should know or be aware of. I am trying to be as specific as I can. I just need a tip to make that first class a success.
Thank you in advance

25 years since EXPO
28 April 2013 , 9:17 AM by Rob Minshull
It was about 40 hectares of disused railyards, light industry, residential units and abandoned warehouses.
It was situated on the southern bank of the Brisbane River - the place we now know as South Bank and which the ABC calls home - and it was the site of World Expo 88, the largest single event commemorating the Bicentenary.
Expo 88 lasted six months from April to October, it cost about $620 million and attracted more than 50 government participants, including 36 nations, 14 state and regional level governments and two multi-lateral organisations: the United Nations and the European Community.
It also attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors and anyone who was there will tell you: Expo 88 was not only a fantastic event, it marked Brisbane's coming-of-age.
Brisbane City Council and the Queensland State Government are hosting a massive event on South Bank today to commemorate the 25th anniversary of EXPO 88.
It is going to be a huge trip down memory lane with 80s-style entertainment and musc, street performers and all the other events which made the 1988 World Fair such a success.
A plaque will also be unveiled to acknowledge all the people who contributed to EXPO 88 and to pay tribute to Sir Llew Edwards, who was of course Chairman of World Expo 88.
Sir Llew is talking to Warren Boland.

learning outcomes have been met. At the same time, assessment
provides information on which the university and its programs can
base public statements and support quality claims, contributing
evidence required by national, regional and state accrediting and
regulatory bodies. In a culture of assessment, data informs
institutional decisions, policies and practices, facilitating a

I think Ancestry is about to launch another dataset. There is an advert up on the site that says "Search for Freemen of the City of London", but when you click on it you get taken to the London parish registers.
I've noticed that Ancestry often puts up the advert and then follows a few hours later with a working link. So if you think you have Freemen on your family tree keep an eye out for the advert and try your luck by clicking it.
Sure it won't be long before they get it up and working

The linguistic genius of babies
Patricia Kuhl shares astonishing findings about how babies learn one language over another — by listening to the humans around them and "taking statistics" on the sounds they need to know. Clever lab experiments (and brain scans) show how 6-month-old babies use sophisticated reasoning to understand their world.
