While Opera Presto is well capable of showing standards-compliant pages correctly, not all Web pages are compliant. To be able to both display all standards-compliant pages and the other pages as well, three different display modes are present in Opera: Standards Mode (following Web standards as close as possible), Almost Standards Mode (same as Standards Mode except vertical alignment of images in table cells) and Quirks Mode (essentially an Internet Explorer 5.5 compatible mode). Which of the modes is selected depends on which Document Type Declaration (DOCTYPE) the page is using.
Internet Explorer (from 6.0 on for Windows and 5.0 on for Mac) and Mozilla/Netscape (from versions 0.6 and 6.0 respectively) also use DOCTYPE switches. Opera Presto uses similar rules as IE6 for Windows to determine whether to enter Standards Mode or Quirks Mode.
The following table represents DOCTYPEs triggering standards compliant behavior in Opera 7 and later, IE6 for Windows, and Netscape 7.

|Unrecognized DOCTYPE
Like IE 6.0 and Netscape 6+, Opera supports the JavaScript property
document.compatMode. When a page is rendered
according to Quirks Mode, this property is set to
BackCompat, in Almost Standards Mode and Standards Mode it
is set to
Quirks Mode enables Opera to display existing invalid pages. If you make pages from scratch, your best option is to make
them standards-compliant and use a DOCTYPE to ensure Standards Mode, but see the following
Incompatible renderings
topic. You may have to add workarounds.
If you have existing pages and they are only tested with Netscape 4 and IE, going for Quirks Mode may be a safer bet initially. If after testing a page looks good in these browsers and in Opera in Standards Mode as well, you may safely change to Standards Mode.
There will not be a complete list of rendering differences of Opera in Quirks Mode and in Standards Mode. This will continously change with whatever standards divergences are common at any given time. The rendering in Standards Mode will always follow the standards. Below are some of the most important differences. They are mostly in one of two categories:
Unit-less numbers in CSS (e.g.
width: 300) are interpreted as pixels in Quirks Mode and ignored in Standards
Spaces between the number and unit (e.g.
width: 45 em;) is not valid CSS. Opera allows this in Quirks Mode
and ignores properties with invalid lengths in Standards Mode.
A class or id must begin with a letter or an underscore, not with a number (e.g.
<div class="2">). Opera
ignores such selectors in Standards Mode, but allows class names starting with a number in Quirks Mode.
height attribute in table rows (7.0-7.11)
The HTML
<tr> element doesn't have a
height attribute. Opera 7.0-7.11 only allowed this
attribute in Quirks Mode, Opera 7.2 and later also allows
height in Standards Mode.
In Quirks Mode, Opera will expand the block element to fit the content. In Standards Mode, Opera honours the height and
applies the style
overflow:visible if nothing else is specified.
A bug IE/Win and Netscape 4 share is that CSS properties aren't inherited into tables. Opera emulates this bug in Quirks Mode, but not in Standards Mode.
In Internet Explorer/Windows (except IE6 in standards compliant mode)
font-size: small is interpreted as the
initial font size. Opera in Quirks Mode emulates this behavior, but uses
font-size: medium in Standards Mode.
This means that the absolute font size keywords are
one size larger in Quirks Mode.
In Strict mode,
class="CLASS" is different from
class="class", and the CSS selector
will only select the former. In Quirks Mode, case doesn't matter and
*.CLASS will match both. Likewise,
id="id" is different from
id="ID" in Standards Mode, but not in Quirks Mode.
In quirks mode, the CSS properties
margin-left and
margin-right is subtracted from the width of
containing box when computing percentage widths, not so in Standards Mode.
Normally the DOCTYPE Switch determines which mode is used, but you can set Opera to always use Standards Mode or always use Quirks Mode by setting one of these lines in the opera6.ini file:
If you design Web pages, setting Opera to never using Quirks Mode will help you see how a page will look like in a browser not supporting DOCTYPE switching.
WML 2.0 uses a special form for DOCTYPE switching. In most respects WML 2.0 is XHTML Basic with some WML extensions and it uses the same namespace as XHTML Basic. In a few cases the WML behavior differs from XHTML, such as the handling of WML variables and $ escaping. See the WML 2.0 Specification for details.

Phantasm: OblIVion (US - DVD R1)
Gabe still fits in his ice cream vendor uniform, and he's ready for flying balls...
When we last saw Mike, Reggie, and Jody, the evil Tall Man had the upper hand—in spades. Mike was growing a sentry ball in his head, Reggie literally had his back against the wall, and Jody was some kind of ball ghost. Things don't look much better this time, as Mike becomes trapped in some kind of alternate dimension, Jody appears to be an agent of evil, and Reggie…well, Reggie's right where we left him.
The Phantasm series can be hard to swallow, but even harder to disrespect. All four films are undeniably original, entertaining, and different than anything else on the horror shelf. It's a series that has earned its fans tooth and nail, and it's a series that went on despite studio disinterest. The Phantasm films outwardly refuse to make sense, or follow any logical projection, and sometimes even the most loyal among us can't quite contend with the ambitious oddness. I call these people quitters.
The fourth razor ball flick was made on a sizably lower budget then parts two or three (less than a million dollars), and from this standpoint even detractors must be impressed, especially those of us that watch enough zero budget horror to understand its depths. I'm not sure if there are any other professional filmmakers who have moved on to sizable budgeted films that could comfortably move back to a shoestring production. Don Coscarelli gracefully makes Phantasm OblIVion look like at least two million bucks. This exceedingly independent nature is what makes the less than perfect production memorable, and worthy of at least minimal praise.
Part of making the film on the cheap was utilizing deleted footage from the first film, meaning Coscarelli's script is built around outtakes. Because of this, the already non-linear nature of the series is pushed to (beyond?) its limit. The final patchwork effect is an occasionally hindrance, creating a feature that's devoted to decades old set pieces, which is a really weird way to go about making a movie. OblIVion is ultimately a better film the Phantasm III because it isn't as goofy, and it's obviously been made on the director's terms, not a studio's suggestions. Though Mike's psychedelic introspective trip ends up a little too low-key, and frankly, kind of boring, it's interesting to see Coscarelli going places he (or any other filmmaker) hasn't been before, especially concerning the Tall Man's history, and Reggie is always around to make things a little more fun.
Even as a moderate fan, I like watching all four films in a row every few years. There aren't many film series made over such a long period of time that still manage to fit together so well (despite actor changes). I think that one of my biggest regrets in the case of OblIVion is that the final scenes of Phantasm III leave audiences with such a delectable cliff-hanger, and the cliff-hanger is sort of brushed off, in a less clever fashion then the previous two cliff-hangers had been.
Just like the recently released copies of Phantasm and Phantasm III, the most obvious comparison I can make is with that of Anchor Bay UK's collection release (though there was a R1 release through MGM several years ago, but that one wasn't too good). Again, the new release is framed slightly tighter at 1.85:1 instead of 1.78:1, which means a very small amount of picture loss at the top and bottom. However, again, just like those other releases, this new 1.85:1 version has more information on the right and left edges. In the end this doesn't make much difference on the screen, but it's interesting to note.
This new transfer is warmer and brighter than the old one, and compression artefacts are noticeably less common. Both transfers are flooded with grain, especially in darker scenes, but the new one is cleaner, and details are sharper. One of the problems of mixing outtakes from the '70s with footage from the late '90s is that the stocks don't mix. The difference in grain and definition is arguably aesthetically interesting, but much more noticeable in this high-end transfer. Strangely, the plague of edge enhancement seems to hurt the newer footage more than the older footage.
Again, just like I did before, I'm comparing this soundtrack to the UK disc's soundtrack. The differences between this Dolby Digital 5.1 track and the UK disc's DTS track are slimmer then the differences on the Phantasm and Phantasm III discs, but there's still a noticeable lack of volume. The difference in the punch of the LFE is minimal, but the spatial representation is surely noticeable. It's not surprising that the DTS track is bigger and better, but this time R1 fans don't need to feel bad about missing out. Phantasm OblIVion is an interesting case among the collection of films because it's both the cheapest and the most recent, meaning that though quite aggressive at points, this film sounds the most 'artificial' in the series.
The extras begin with a full but often messy commentary track featuring writer/director Don Coscarelli, and actors Reggie Bannister and Angus Schrimm. The track is warm and friendly, but sometimes the shifts in focus are a little bit disconcerting. Coscarelli's tone is as dour as ever, but he's good for information, and Bannister more than covers up for his friend's lack of hilarity. Coscarelli amusingly dodges Bannister's questions about the meaning of some of the film's stranger bits. The track's all-star is of course Schrimm though, who's simply the most charming aging horror icon alive, possibly ever. Schrimm's still sharp, and still corrects his younger compatriots on occasion.
Disappointingly the only other extras are ten minutes of rough behind the scenes footage and a promo trailer.
It's not the best in the series, but Phantasm OblIVoin does many things right, including a deeper look at the series' mythology, and a bleakly open ended last few minutes. I do look forward to another entrée. And even though I'm not supposta say nothin', I've heard rumblings of a Phantasm collection on the horizon, with possibly more extras. Perhaps if fans buy enough copies of this release Anchor Bay and finally afford the rights to Phantasm II.

Haha wow. Well, I've never seen this 4th one or heard of it. I usually stop after 2 in horror series before I get sick of them. Unless I catch them on tv or something. Maybe now I'll have a Phantasm night. I just saw Aliens in theater it was a whole different experience.

This is my favorite sequel in this series, i'm a huge fan. Might actually consider buying this although i've sworn to myself to never buy a DVD again (I only buy Blu-Ray now).
Wasn't there a commentary for Phantasm OblIVion on the R2 sphere box set?

I hope that they will finally make number 5 soon...

I agree with "Disciple". Though Phantasm 4 got alot of c**p from people, it's actually my favorite Phantasm sequel and a very enjoyable film for me... But as Gabriel Powers pointed out, damn if i can follow everything of all four films.
I used to consider the third one to be the worst film ever made, but that's because i saw it first and had no knowledge of previous films.. But I have come to respect all the phantasm films, and Don Coscarelli is a brilliant man. I wish the studios would make his dream come true and let him do an Alien Sequel (he stated one time that was one of his dreams) as i think he'd make a damn good one.

What I'd be very interested to see is the supposedly definitive "Phan" cut of the first film, with all the stock footage/outtakes/deleted scenes seamlessly edited into what could be called the ultimate extended cut of the film. It's been a while since I read about the different fan-edit versions of the first film, but last I heard the best of them and most notorious was put together by a fan on his PC and only viewed for Coscarelli as a fan tribute.
The one bonus feature I'd like to see in a collection? The Magic Hemicuda! How many times was that car destroyed in the films, only to return in a sequel unscratched, but with alterations? Did Reggie have a garage full of differently modded 'Cudas just sitting at home?

I actually thought this was the strongest sequel, being most accomplished, especially in performance senses. The first is amateurish (I mean that in the nicest way, mind you), the second and third are ridiculously over-the-top (...again, nicest way!)...but the third finally nailed everything down so it would stop its incessant floating over the top.

image:: Linda Ronstadt & Jerry Brown, Newsweek cover, April 1979
Crossposted on ThickCulture
Meg Whitman may have more more money than good sense, despite hiring a cadre of political consultants, but then again she's in a tough bind. She was challenged to a three-way bipartisan gubernatorial debate before the California primaries by Democrat Jerry Brown. The debate would include Brown, Meg Whitman and her fellow Republican challenger and Steve Poizner. Her response went from maybe to no, no meaning not until Jerry has a debate with his longshot Democratic challenger. All the while, Jerry has received a ton of press with his challenge.
Whitman {a billionaire} and Poizner {a multi-millionaire} have plenty of cash to spend and they're going to burn through it trying to get the Republican nomination. Brown's warchest is light, but he hasn't been spending. Meg was avoiding debating Steve, but finally succumbed last month. Poizner's approach has been to paint Whitman as not conservative enough, while Whitman tries to allow for more shades of grey on issues. In the long run, Whitman's strategy is what's needed to win the blue state of California, as Republican numbers favour Democrats and moderates need to be courted to win. A debate with both Poizner and Brown would be very risky for Whitman. From what I've seen, she's not quick on her feet and talks like a corporate executive who spends 15 minutes answering a question with, "it depends." A three-way debate would mean attacks from her right and her left. She would have to come across as a strong moderate that would enough appeal to more conservative Republicans and I'm not convinced she has the platform or the rhetorical chops to pull that off.
Love him or hate him, Jerry Brown is an interesting guy. When I was a kid, I remember him running for Governor in 1978, handily defeating his Republican challenger Evelle Younger. I also remember his nickname, Governor Moonbeam. He was dating Linda Rondstadt and I recall this corny political joke, "Linda Ronstadt started dating Jerry Brown when she realized she wasn't getting any Younger." Anyway.
Jerry made a bid for the presidency in 1976, 1980, and 1992. He was a credible threat to Bill Clinton in the primaries with grassroots campaigning and a toll-free contribution line. He also isn't afraid to get rough. Here he is going after Clinton by making Whitewater allegations::
I think he would give Poizner and Whitman a run for their money and having been in politics in the state since forever, he knows the beat.

Nobody needs a tablet, but many people still want a tablet. This is still the core differentiator between a 'real' computer and a tablet. At least in The Netherlands, you can't function in society without a desktop or laptop connected to the internet, so people need a computer. A tablet, though? Hence, the most common thing people have told me when they played with my iPad 2 is this: I'd love to have a tablet, but not for hundreds of euros. Enter Google's Nexus 7, the first 'cheap' tablet that doesn't just validate Android as a tablet platform, but also gives the iPad a run for its money.

RE: Off Topic - Desktop Browser Tab Implementations
by pandronic on Sun 12th Aug 2012 05:15 UTC in reply to "Off Topic - Desktop Browser Tab Implementations"
Valid point about Opera you have there and I'd like to add to your point about Chrome not having a superior tabbed browsing implementation. I'm writing this in Firefox which has the wonderful Panorama feature (aka Tab Groups) and a shitload of extensions (like Tab Mix Plus and the like) with insane amount of features and customizations.
I'm really getting sick of the Chrome fanboys ... Firefox is fast enough - I'm using it on low end computers with zero problems, it actually uses less memory, it has far better add-ons, better privacy, better developer tools and renders the real web better (the one that's flawed and not always standards compliant).
Opera and IE9 are also pretty good browsers, certainly on par with Chrome.

DALLAS, TX (News Release) - STEPHEN HAWKINS
AP Sports Writer
Restricted free agent Chandler Parsons has agreed to an offer sheet with the Dallas Mavericks. The Houston Rockets will have to decide if they will match it.
Two people with knowledge of the situation said Wednesday night that an agreement was in place. The people commented to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the offer sheet can't be officially signed until Thursday.
ESPN, citing sources close to the process, reported that it was a three-year offer worth more than $45 million.
The 25-year-old Parsons averaged 16.6 points, 5.5 rebounds and 4.0 assists last season for the Rockets. He has played 213 games, starting 207, the last three years in Houston.
In Dallas, the small forward would be in a frontcourt with Dirk Nowitzki and recently reacquired Tyson Chandler.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (Sept. 19, 2009) - Led by junior Tara Sheets' (Gate City, Va.) three victories the ETSU women's tennis team had a superior opening day at the first annual UNC Asheville Fall Classic inside the Crown Plaza Tennis Center in Asheville, N.C.
After the 25th annual ETSU Fall Classic was cancelled this weekend the Lady Bucs picked up five wins Saturday.
The Lady Buc doubles team of Sheets and junior Diana Navrotskaya (Lviv, Ukraine) picked up two wins on the day. First the ETSU duo dropped UNC Asheville's team of Devon Cavanaugh/Sarah Brinkley 8-4, before continuing their dominance after making quick work of Asheville's Leslie Smith and Stephanie Schon, 8-6.
After both their wins in team action, Navrotska and Sheets continued their hot play in singles competition picking up their third triumph of the day.
Navrotska earned her head-to-head win over Asheville senior Louise Bottomley, 6-4, 6-1, while Sheets had a strong three-set comeback defeating Brinkley 6-4, 4-6, 11-9.
"Overall, I was proud of the girls today," said head coach Steve Brooks. "I know we still have some work to do, but Tara is unbeaten this fall in doubles and I thought Diana responded with some great play today."
Also in action for ETSU were sophomore Jessica Ratliff (Bristol, Tenn.) and freshman Kelby Marston (Erwin, Tenn.), who dropped a pair of contests.
The Lady Bucs contiune with final day action of the UNC Asheville Fall Classic, Sunday.

Frankie Sullivan totaled a game-high 24 points, including 20 in the second half, to go along with five rebounds, two assists and two steals with 20 stitches in his shooting arm to lead Auburn to a 55-51 victory over the College of Charleston in the Charleston Classic second round in TD Arena on Friday.
Sullivan, who left the previous night's game with 15 minutes to play after crashing into the scorer's table, scored Auburn's first 14 points of the second half, including a pair of 3-pointers, to give the Tigers a 36-31 lead with 11:36 remaining. Jordan Price followed with four straight to give Auburn a 40-32 lead with 11 minutes to go.
"That's what Coach told me to do at halftime to pick it up for the team, and that is what I tried to do," said Sullivan. "He came into the locker room at halftime and challenged the seniors that if you are going to win in this country, the senior guards always win it for you. I took the challenge on and accepted it for the team.
"My arm was throbbing the whole game, but I am used to pain. I have broken a lot of bones in my body. It is about the will, and it is not about the pain. It blocks it out when the adrenaline starts going. So, my adrenaline started going and the pain went away."
A 7-0 Charleston run closed the Cougars to within 40-39 less than a minute later, but the Tigers stretched it out to a 50-44 lead after back-to-back great moves for buckets down low by Shareif Adamu with 3:39 remaining. Adamu then made two huge free throws with 36 seconds left for a 52-47 lead to score six straight for the Tigers.
"Frankie is the heart and soul of our team, and I am proud of the way he responded in the second half," said Auburn head coach Tony Barbee.
A Adjeh Baru tip-in for the Cougars made it 52-49 Auburn with 18 seconds left before Sullivan drained a pair of foul shots for a 54-49 lead a half second later. After another Baru layup, Noel Johnson split two foul shots for a 55-51 lead with 7.6 seconds left to ice it.
"We are going to be a work in progress on the offensive end of the floor," said Barbee. "We have to get our younger guys rolling. We have to get Rob Chubb and Shareif established in the post. Even though it doesn't show up in high production, those guys made some big buckets down the stretch when we had to keep them at bay.
"The key tonight was we had to be better on the defensive end of the floor. We held them to 38 percent shooting after Murray State shot 53 percent last night. We had 20 turnovers last night, 15 in the second half that led to 20 points. We did those things better tonight. We had some guys step up tonight. Defensively, we also forced 19 turnovers.
Auburn improved to 2-1 on the season while College of Charleston fell to 1-2.
Three-straight Noel Johnson 3-pointers gave Auburn a 13-10 lead with 9:54 left in the first. Johnson entered the game missing all 10 of his field goal attempts this season. The Tigers used a 16-6 run to take a 20-15 lead with 4:18 to play before the Cougars closed the half with an 8-2 run to regain the lead 23-22 at the half.
Auburn shot 35.8 percent from the field, but 50 percent in the second half as the Tigers held College of Charleston to 38.3 percent shooting. The Tigers were 6-fo-17 from 3-point range and 11-of-14 from the foul line while the Cougars were 5-of-15 behind the arc and 10-of-18 from the foul line.
Charleston outrebounded Auburn 42-26 but Auburn forced 19 turnovers. Noel Johnson had 12 points, with 11 of them coming in the first half on 3-of-4 shooting from 3-point range. Adamu added 11 points. Charleston was led by Anthony Stitt's 11 points.
The Tigers play Dayton, who defeated Boston College 87-71 on Friday after losing to No.1 6 Baylor 84-74 on Thursday, in the Charleston Classic third round at 1 pm CT on Sunday on ESPN3.

What's Philosophy Accomplished?
Rationis Defensor: Essays in Honour of Colin Cheyne Edited by James Maclaurin (Springer, €99.)
Reviewed by Charles Gibson
People often ask me what philosophers have accomplished in the last hundred years. The popular conception is that while science seems to be advancing technology and knowledge daily, philosophy is still a pastime for people who wish to relax in their armchairs and debate the existence of God. This portrait of philosophy is a false one, but convincing people can be difficult. So from now on when somebody asks me what philosophers have been up to, I can direct them to a copy of Rationis Defensor.
This collection of recent philosophical papers, edited by head of Otago University's philosophy department, James Maclaurin, provides a nice selection of the current debates and crucial issues at play in philosophy. It includes a diverse sampling of philosophical disciplines addressing issues in epistemology (theory of knowledge), philosophy of science, metaphysics and philosophical logic.
'Rationis Defensor,' which means defender of rationality, is the motto of senior lecturer and former head of the Otago department Colin Cheyne in whose honour these essays were collected. Cheyne's contribution to philosophy has been both international, through his publications, and local through his efforts to instil good philosophical habits in his students. As such this collection of papers reflects both his style and quality of philosophy.
The papers are written from within the analytic tradition, focusing on clear argumentation and careful use of terms. The analytic style is exemplified in such papers as Gregory Dawes' 'Justified Believing: Avoiding the Paradox', and James Maclaurin's 'Universal Darwinism: Its Scope and Limits', who both formalise the main philosophical issue of their paper as inconsistent propositions. The analytic quality is shown in such papers as 'Kant on Experiment' by Alberto Vanzo, who writes on the role of experiment in early modern philosophy, and Andrew Moore's 'The Buck-Passing Stops Here', who discusses which properties should determine morality. Both of these papers are notable for their fluid prose and graceful argumentation.
As a defender of rationality Cheyne maintains an approach to philosophy with both feet firmly on the ground. Rationis Defensor reflects Cheyne's common-sense approach, with several of the authors arguing against philosophical doctrines which seem far-fetched. In her paper 'Propositions: Truth vs. Existence', Heather Dyke outlines an objection to recent approaches to problems in metaphysics. As an example a simple truth theory states that truth is correspondence. The sentence 'Snow is white' is true if and only if snow is white. However past truths such as 'Lincoln was president of America' seem not to have a current state of affairs to correspond to. One approach to this problem is to argue that the past is a set of propositions which form the truthmaker for the Lincoln sentence. Dyke argues against taking this notion too far: while she agrees that "proposition talk" has benefits, she denies that we need to think of propositions as actually existing in the robust sense.
This commitment to common sense is also apparent in Charles Pigden and Rebecca Entwisle's paper, 'Spread Worlds, Plenitude and Modal Realism: A Problem for David Lewis', which challenges concrete modal realism. Modal realism is the view that a parallel universe, which is completely isolated from our own, exists for every logical possibility there is. The idea of parallel universes is not completely crazy, but it becomes far-fetched fairly quickly if a universe must exist for every logical possibility. For example, if there's nothing logically impossible about what goes on in Star Wars, then there must be a parallel universe in which the events depicted in Star Wars are historical fact rather than entertaining fiction. Concrete modal realism implies that Jar Jar Binks is a real person!
However, not all of the papers in the collection align with Cheyne's own views. Alan Musgrave, in 'Getting over Gettier', writes on his disagreement with Cheyne. Musgrave argues that Gettier's thought experiments do not refute the traditional definition of knowledge as justified true belief. This has been their sharpest point of debate over the years in which they have been colleagues.
Whether or not the conclusions align with Cheyne's views is beside the point. The authors have constructed strong essays in his honour and the collection is held together nicely by themes of common sense and clear argumentation. One particularly intriguing and pertinent paper is 'The Future of Utilitarianism' by Tim Mulgan, which explores how ethics would be affected in a post climate change world, asking compelling questions about obligations we have now to future generations.
Harry Potter, Darwin and Some Logic
My initial reaction when I thumbed through Rationis Defensor was surprise. Typically when I pick up a collection of papers I find one or two titles in the contents which stand out as interesting. However when I looked through the contents of this collection, nearly every title intrigued me. All the papers discussed fascinating topics and many provoked questions in me which I had not considered before. Although a review of this kind can't do justice to the specialist work in this collection, it's nevertheless worth taking a closer look at a representative few papers, one each from the major groupings of epistemology, philosophy of science, and logic.
Literature and Truthfulness
From epistemology Gregory Currie, in 'Literature and truthfulness', asks to what extent truth plays a role in literature and wonders how confident we can be that fiction accurately captures human behaviour. Take the Harry Potter series: If I were to tell you that Harry really does exist and casts spells, you would likely claim that this statement was false. But if I said that Harry has a scar on his head, you would likely claim that this statement was true. On a technical reading both statements are false because Harry Potter does not exist. He is fictional. Fiction, it seems, is comprised of false statements. They describe a fictional world but not our world.
However there remain ways in which fiction appears to contain truths. We can appreciate a piece of fiction because it seems to accurately capture human nature or seems very real. Shakespeare particularly had a talent for this. Alternatively we can criticise a work of fiction for falsely representing how people actually are. Currie gives us the powerful example of the latter in By Love Possessed, a book which was criticised on grounds of "racism, snobbery and general conservativism". The claims in this book were false, but were also criticised for their falseness. Currie's conclusion is a fair one, rejecting the idea that truth is irrelevant to criticism, and arguing that literature can accurately capture the human condition; but he accepts that we don't yet have a clear picture of what human nature is.
Universal Darwinism
From philosophy of science comes 'Universal Darwinism: Its Scope and Limits' by James Maclaurin, in which Maclaurin discusses the growth of evolutionary theory beyond its traditional boundaries. The theory of natural selection was meant to apply to the evolution of species. It uses three Darwinian principles that attempt to capture this niche. For natural selection to occur populations must vary, that variation must be inheritable and it must have an effect on fitness. Consider a population of giraffes. There is a variance in the length of their necks, the giraffes with the longest necks can consume the most leaves from the tree tops and the ones who do consume the most leaves have a far better chance of surviving and reproducing.
However the three Darwinian principles are general enough that they apply to far more than just species development. From a prima facie point of view, language seems to also be a product of natural selection. We have inheritance from person to person, a huge amount of variance and fitness to the environment. When an environmental pressure such as cell phone use is introduced, language adapts to it. For many years text messages were cumbersome to write and allowed for only 160 characters per message. Hence words became shortened to acronyms such as 'btw' for 'by the way' and spelling became much more efficient. 'What are you up to?' is more commonly expressed as 'Wot r u up 2?' or 'Wuu2?'.
The core of the tension here is that Darwin's theory of natural selection was never intended to apply to a range of topics this broad. It doesn't seem totally strange to talk of language evolving, but what about technology or mechanics? Televisions have been rapidly changing over the last couple of decades to meet 'environmental pressures' such as picture quality, weight, space consumption and appearance. However it still seems a little strange to talk of televisions evolving. Maclaurin's paper looks at some attempts to alter the Darwinian criteria for the purpose of restricting natural selection talk of genetic inheritance. He considers five different approaches to this end: extended phenotypes, memes, dual inheritance, developmental systems theory, and extended replicator theory, many of which Richard Dawkins has argued heavily for. After explaining and treating these proposals Maclaurin applies an analogous problem from philosophy of mind to argue that attempts to produce determinate conditions for what cases are genuine instances of natural selection will fail.
A Neglected Reply to Prior's Dilemma
The final paper I'll look at here – J.C. Beall's 'A Neglected Reply to Prior's Dilemma' – may only be of interest to readers with a fascination for logic, but nevertheless it is well worth the effort. First, a bit of background: Logical systems tend to focus around some concept of validity, a set of rules which preserve truth from the premises of an argument (the points in the argument which support the conclusion) to the conclusion. By 'preserve', I mean that an argument is valid if and only if it is impossible for the premises to be true and the conclusion false. This technical meaning of 'validity' differs from the common use of the term. Statements such as 'that is a valid point' typically mean things like 'that is a good/ fair/ correct point'. In logic, by contrast, to say that an argument is valid is simply to say that it is impossible for the premises to be true and the conclusion false.
With this definition in mind there are certain inferences that can never be made in a valid argument. These are known as implication barriers. One such barrier is the no 'ought' from 'is' rule. Given a statement like 'it is the case that people donate to charity' you cannot validly infer 'it ought to be the case that people donate to charity'. The barrier prevents us from validly inferring ought statements from purely is statements. A big challenge to this barrier came from Arthur Prior and his use of 'or' statements. These types of sentences are disjunctive and only require one true disjunct for the whole thing to be true. If it is true that the grass is green then it is also true that the grass is green or the grass is purple. So Prior produces a valid argument from 'it is the case that X' to 'it is the case that X or it ought to be the case that Y.'
Beall offers a reply to this claim by using a three-valued logic system. Typically logic systems use a two-valued system. Assign 1 to a sentence for truth and 0 to sentence if it is false. Three valued systems allow for an extra value .5 which may represent both true and false or neither true nor false. Beall applies this concept to Prior's argument. In the three valued logic system which Beall uses, 'P' fails to imply 'P or Q' because the disjunct can end up taking the value .5. Hence the step from 'P' to 'P or Q' "can take you from truth to untruth".
The reader may find it a little strange that Beall uses a different system of logic as a counterexample to an apparently valid inference. But this type of reply has become common in modern philosophy. Much of the interesting research in logic has been on small changes to the accepted classical system. Among other modifications, some of these systems allow for extra truth values. A logic which allows for paradoxical sentences such as 'this sentence is false' to be neither true nor false is known as paracomplete and a logic which allows for it to be both true and false is known as paraconsistent. These systems are as controversial as they are popular but if the reader has any interest in logic then they will likely find themselves fascinated by the effects these small tweaks to classical logic have. Beall's paper is a good place to gauge your interest in this subject.
Challenging, Provoking
These three accounts are not meant to be robust philosophical reports on what are quite complex pieces of philosophical work. Rather, they are mere snapshots of the papers which aim to give a flavour of what to expect, should you decide to venture down the rabbit hole of Rationis Defensor. In this collection you will find plenty to pique your interest. Two notable strengths are the variety of topics discussed and the fact that much of the research is cutting edge. The latter, though, also means some of the papers can be tough going for those not steeped in the most recent scholarship. (If you get stuck, I recommend the online Stanford Encylopedia of Philosophy http://plato.stanford.edu/) Thankfully, the authors go to great lengths to set out their research clearly and make it plain from the outset what they are arguing and why. As a reader I found that even when I became lost, the clear structuring made it much easier to identify exactly where I'd lost my way and how to find it again.
Rationis Defensor is a collection of papers created in honour of Colin Cheyne. To that end the editors have succeeded wonderfully. The book honours Cheyne both through the diversity of the topics and the clear, precise style which the authors employ. To Cheyne this collection of papers is tribute to the quality of his work and the lasting impression he has left on his colleagues and students.
To me, this collection was a delightful trip down the philosophical rabbit hole. A trip which provoked unconsidered questions in me whilst retaining a firm grasp on common sense throughout. To the potential reader this collection contains a solid sampling of modern philosophy that showcases a strong defence of rationality and the progress made in the philosophical method. The papers can be challenging in places. But the joy of tumbling down the rabbit hole is that every so often you get snagged on a root. If you are interested in reading an example of what philosophers have been up to lately then pick up a copy of Rationis Defensor. You will not be disappointed.

A former Queensland Labor minister at the centre of the state's health payroll fiasco says he isn't worried about having to testify at an inquiry set up by the Newman government.
Premier Campbell Newman on Thursday announced a $5 million commission of inquiry into Queensland Health's bungled payroll system, to be headed by retired Court of Appeal judge Richard Chesterman QC.
Thousands of public servants were underpaid, overpaid or left unpaid after a flawed IBM computer system was introduced in March 2010 by the former Labor government.
The inquiry will look at who could be held responsible for the bungle, which has been estimated to cost the state $1.2 billion, and could potentially call on former Labor government ministers to give evidence.
But former IT minister Robert Schwarten, who was in charge of the system's rollout, says he's "a million per cent confident" he has nothing to worry about and will happily cooperate with the inquiry if required.
"I've got three things: a clear memory, a clear conscience and a clean pair of hands," he told AAP.
"This inquiry is just to create a sideshow to draw attention from his (Mr Newman's) abysmal performance over the past eight months."
However, Health Minister Lawrence Springborg said the inquiry was "absolutely necessary" and might open an avenue that isn't currently available for legal action to help recover funds.
"Our chance of success may very much depend on yet-to-be-discovered facts," Mr Springborg said.
Mr Newman said the all-encompassing inquiry would protect whistleblowers who wanted to speak out, but were too scared.
"There are people out there who are saying ... that they have something to say, but they're frightened about how they may end up being treated if they were to come forward," he said.
But the probe, which will commence in February next year, has copped criticism from unions, who have labelled it a waste of money.
"It was an administrative mess-up and we should just put it down to experience and get on with delivering health and aged care services to the people of Queensland," Queensland Nurses' Union secretary Des Elder said in a statement.
Acting Opposition Leader Tim Mulherin said the government needed to release its legal advice for the inquiry.
"If there is advice to the contrary, one would question why the need for an inquiry," he told reporters in Brisbane.
The government has said there has been $150 million in unfunded costs this year to fix the payroll system, and that has led to 1500 Queensland Health job losses.
Mr Chesterman is due to hand down his report by April 30.

New Car Review Video
2013 Toyota Sienna: New Car Review - Video
While minivans have fallen out of favor with some consumers, thanks to the popularity of car-like crossover SUVs, the 2013 Toyota Sienna convinces people you can teach an old dog new tricks. With five trim levels that all offer cool, sculptured bodywork, the latest Sienna is light years ahead of last generation's bland, undistinctive van.
The five trim levels for the 2013 Sienna include Base, L, SE, LE, XLE and Limited. Depending on the trim level, the Sienna can offer 7- or 8-passenger accommodations. All trims offer an edgy interior that may be the best in class in terms of style and layout, but if you're interested in options like the dual-pane sunroof that can be operated individually, the Base model might not cut it.
The mid-level trim, or Sienna SE, offers a great combination of stylish sporty looks thanks to a factory body kit, lowered suspension and special instrumentation, providing many standard interior appointments, as well. However, if the body kit is a little much, take a look at the LE trim, as it offers 8-passenger seating, iPod/USB/Bluetooth connectivity, 16-inch split screen video system in the back seat, second-row recliners and a backup camera.
The only engine and transmission available for the 2013 Sienna is the 266-horsepower 3.5-liter V6 attached to a 6-speed automatic transmission. Front-wheel drive is standard for all trims, but all-wheel drive is available on the LE, XLE and Limited trim Siennas -- adding $2,550 to the tab and decreasing fuel economy both in the city and on the highway.
Prices for the 2013 Sienna Base start at around $26,500, while the top-of-the-line Limited is around $40,000. Many minivans compete directly with the Sienna, including the recently redesigned Honda Odyssey, which offers a lot of luxury amenities, or the value-priced Kia Sedona, which has plenty of room for everyone. Crossovers pose competition of their own, as well.
Minivans may be yesterday's trend to some buyers, but the 2013 Toyota Sienna, especially the SE trim, has given this segment new life and luster. It begs the question, why doesn't everyone have a minivan?

Buccaneers re-sign QB Orlovsky, restructure CB Wright's contract
TAMPA, Fla. – The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have re-signed reserve quarterback Dan Orlovsky and restructured the contract of cornerback Eric Wright.
The team did not disclose the financial terms of the one-year deals Tuesday.
Orlovsky is a ninth-year pro who appeared in one game with Tampa Bay last season, completing four of seven passes for 51 yards.
Wright signed with the Bucs as a free agent in 2012. He started 10 games and had one interception during a season in which he missed playing time because of injuries and a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances.

The new ERGON range of automatic packers is based on design choices inspired by key concepts such as ergonomics, technology, sturdiness and modularity, masterfully blended to mark a new, significant evolution in the history of SMI products.
You can point out the new ERGON packers rather quickly due to the rounded profile of the movable safety guards, which allow to house all the motors on the outside with respect to the mechanical units they run, facilitating line operator access when performing maintenance.
The new heat-shrinking tunnels of the ERGON range boast cutting-edge technical solutions that allow reducing energy consumption and ensure the utmost environmental compatibility of the processes as well as the improvement of the final quality of the packaged pack.
LCM ERGON series automatic machines combine in one system the functions provided by wrap-around packers and shrink wrappers, for the packaging of plastic, metal, cardboard and glass containers in closed cases, on cardboard pad + film, on cardboard tray + film and on cardboard tray only.
Trays can be octagonal or rectangular, with same or different height edges.
LCM ERGON series packing machines run up to 40 packs per minute, depending on the product handled and on the packing pattern.
Different pack collations can be formed according to the container's shape, capacity and dimensions; the most popular formats on market are 2x3, 3x4 and 4x6 in closed boxes, 4x3 and 6x4 on tray+film.
LCM ERGON packers are equipped with mechanical (LCM 30) or electronic (LCM 40) product-grouping system and can be configured with either in-line or 90° in-feed conveyor belts, depending on the customer's requirements. The format changeover is manual.

1At the machine infeed a motorized oscillating sorter lines up loose containers along a conveyor belt featuring low-friction chains made of thermoplastic material. In the pack-forming unit products are grouped in the chosen packing pattern by means of a pneumatic (LCM 30) or electronic (LCM 40) device.
2In case of packaging in closed case or tray, a sheet of corrugated cardboard is picked from the blank magazine by an alternate-motion picker with vacuum suckers; the carboard blank is then carried up along the blank ramp and positioned under the incoming pack collation with short leading side (wrap-around case) or long leading side (tray).
3Depending on the packaging features, in the case/tray forming unit the cardboard blank is folded and wrapped around the products by means of special guides. Later on flap-folding devices fold first side flaps and then upper/lower flaps on both the front and the back of the pack. Hot-glue sealing makes the case highly resistant.
4In case of packaging in film, the film is wrapped around and overlapped under the pack in transit towards the shrinking tunnel. The unwinding of film reels - positioned in the lower part of the machine – is adjusted by a progressive brake which provides constant film tensioning.

PUYALLUP, Wash. — Linfield has a theme for the 2002 season, "Leave No Doubt," and the Wildcats made that point with an exclamation mark on Saturday, beating the host Pacific Lutheran Lutes 35-21 in a Northwest Conference game played at Sparks Stadium.
The Wildcats, who entered the game ranked No. 22 in the American Football Coaches Association Division III Top 25 poll, pounded the PLU defense for 330 rushing yards on 63 carries in handing the Lutes, No. 20 in the AFCA poll, a conference-opening loss for the third consecutive season.
It was also the Lutes' second straight loss at home, the first time that they have lost their first two home contests in a season since 1976. That year, Pacific Lutheran suffered defeats to Puget Sound and Willamette before defeating Pacific and going on to finish the season with a 6-4 overall record. In addition, the 14-point defeat was Pacific Lutheran's largest losing margin at home since the 1996 season opener when the Lutes fell to Western Washington, 34-17.
The Linfield offense dominated the line of scrimmage and a trio of Wildcat running back ran roughshod through the Pacific Lutheran defense. David Russell, who came into the game as Linfield's leading rusher with an average of 122 yards per game, had 116 and a touchdown on just 16 carries. Marty Williams, the team's second-leading rusher, gained 86 yards and scored two touchdowns on 19 carries. Neither player led the Wildcats in rushing, however, as Thomas Ford picked up 147 yards and scored one time on 22 carries. Ford came into the game with 63 net yards on 12 carries.
With the running game clicking behind a big offensive line, Linfield had to pass only 10 times, quarterback Tyler Matthews completing five for 62 yards. Tight end Luke Buchheit had four catches for 53 yards. The Wildcats' dominance was apparent on the field and in the statistical column where Linfield ran 73 plays for 392 total yards while controlling the ball for 37:11. The PLU offense, meanwhile, ran 53 plays for 242 net yards and had the ball just 22:49.
The visitors took the lead at the 6:53 mark of the first quarter on a 1-yard run by Russell, capping a 41-yard drive set up by an Eric Hillison interception, the first of two against PLU quarterback Tyler Teeple. The Lutes got right back into game as Scott Peterson returned the ensuing kickoff 64 yards to the Linfield 27-yard line. PLU scored 10 plays later with Chris Pitzer sweeping right end for 5 yards and the score.
The Wildcats scored 13 unanswered points to take a 21-7 lead, getting 24- and 21-yard field goals from Garrett Wales and a 17-yard touchdown run by Williams. At that point, the Wildcats had outgained the Lutes, 217 yards to just 22. Pacific Lutheran, however, put together a six-play, 74-yard drive to cut its deficit to 21-14 at the half. Teeple connected with Kyle Brown on a 21-yard scoring pass, Brown out-leaping the Linfield defender for the ball in the end zone.
Pacific Lutheran was more efficient on offense in the third period, gaining 135 yards, but Teeple's second interception ended the Lutes' first drive of the period. Teeple threw into double coverage and Ray Lions intercepted the ball at the Linfield 1-yard line. The Wildcats responded with a 99-yard scoring drive in eight plays, capped by Ford's 1-yard run. Russell had the big play on the drive, dashing 62 yards down the sideline in front of the Linfield bench before finally being dragged to the turf 1 yard short of the end zone.
The Lutes came back with their most impressive drive of the game, going 92 yard in 17 plays while using 7:43 of the clock. Ryan Simpson bulled over from the 2-yard line with 22 seconds left in the third quarter, cutting the Lutes' deficit to 28-21. Linfield returned the favor with a game-clinching drive in the final period with Marty Williams scoring from two yards out to cap a 12-play, 78-yard drive. The touchdown came with 2:28 to go, and the Linfield defense held the Lutes on downs to dash any miracle comeback hopes by the home team.
For the second consecutive season, Pacific Lutheran faced Linfield without the services of two-time all-conference running back Aaron Binger. The junior missed the game with a partially collapsed lung suffered in PLU's 35-10 victory over Chapman on Sept. 21. Last year, Binger was out with a concussion, but the Lutes still beat the Wildcats, 31-20, in McMinnville.
Linfield 35, Pacific Lutheran 21
PUYALLUP, Wash. — Linfield has a theme for the 2002 season, "Leave No Doubt," and the Wildcats made that point with an exclamation mark on Saturday, beating the host Pacific Lutheran Lutes 35-21 in a Northwest Conference game played at Sparks Stadium.

New Orleans, La (AP) - Tim Duncan scored 24 points, Tony Parker hit a huge 3-pointer, and the San Antonio Spurs opened the season with a 99-95 victory over the New Orleans Hornets in the debut for top draft pick Anthony Davis on Wednesday night.
Davis scored 21 points and grabbed seven rebounds, a promising start for the player who spent only one year at Kentucky, leading the Wildcats to the national title.
But the wily Spurs showed the rebuilding Hornets a thing or two.
After Davis made two free throws with 1:08 remaining to give New Orleans its final lead, 95-94, the Spurs closed strong. Parker connected from beyond the arc with 49.6 seconds left, finishing with 23 points. After Greivis Vasquez missed an open 3, Duncan padded the lead with two fouls shots.

I am a "I don't care".
I don't support other delusions why would I support theirs.
I think my answer to the OP would be Yes I think the world would be a much better place without religion, however I fully support someone right to believe stupid bullshit. However when that belief infringes on someone else No. That would be my philosophy on pretty much everything - Do, think, say, believe anything you want up to the point where it has a directly negative effect on someone else.
I asked a question here a few years ago: would the world really be a better place if everyone was atheist? I believe every atheist responded with "anything is better than religion". This doesn't mean that wars would cease, crime, or any of that it just means religion wouldn't be the one contributing to it. It'd be the individual person, not some religion or unknown deity.-Nam
So if, say, the government started seizing church buildings and taking them away from the congregations, would you at least vote to make this illegal (which it pretty much is, but maybe it will not always be so)?
Sooooo... How far would you go to SUPPORT their right to peaceably worship as they see fit?
as to the title question
Quote from: Onesimus on October 18, 2012, 10:46:31 PMSo if, say, the government started seizing church buildings and taking them away from the congregations, would you at least vote to make this illegal (which it pretty much is, but maybe it will not always be so)?Absolutely.Im not going to like.... stand in front of a bulldozer or anything,
My point, or one of a select few of them. It's just human nature to not care whether people have the right to do things you don't have any interest in doing. But would society be better off if we took a more active role? I'm really not sure... hence, the question.
So here's the question. Atheists... those you oppose, the faithful theists, do indeed have government-supported freedom of religion. They have inalienable rights to do all kinds of worshippy, faith-based things that drive you nuts just thinking about it. Sooooo... How far would you go to SUPPORT their right to peaceably worship as they see fit? Would you lift a finger to help if their rights were being denied? Do you see this as a civil rights issue at all? How much legal and ethical ground will you concede, in good faith, to the believers so they are truly free to live as they choose, even while you assert that they're doing it all wrong?And yes, you believers can also weigh in on how much you will concede to non-believers.Go.
To the question that Onesimus asked in the thread title, which is really very different from the one he asked in his post, I would say that yes, I do wish that people would just give up religion. But I have to qualify that by saying that it does matter what it is replaced with.I think that how people think is much more important than what people think. What I would very much wish for is an outbreak of reason. Critical thinking, free thought, skepticism, whatever you want to call it. An age of enlightenment. In an environment like that, religion would lose its power naturally. No force or civil rights violation needed.

For the first time in this postseason, the Spurs struggled badly, falling behind by 24 points. A 24-0 run in the third quarter turned things around as the Spurs ended up cruising to a 3-0 series lead over the L.A. Clippers.
May 18, 2012
by Kevin Pelton and Mike Pesca
In the wake of torn ACLs suffered by Derrick Rose and Iman Shumpert during the playoffs, a leading surgeon argued fatigue does not cause ACL injuries. Other experts disagree, and so does the history of torn ACLs in the NBA.
by Kevin Pelton
The Clippers got the kind of hot shooting they'll need to knock off the Spurs, and still lost by 17 points in Game 2. A historically atypical Chris Paul performance and their inability to stop the San Antonio offense doomed the Clippers, who ought to consider a lineup change.
May 17, 2012
by Kevin Pelton
Up seven on the road with 2:08 to play, the L.A. Lakers failed to execute down the stretch and saw the Oklahoma City Thunder find a productive offense just in time to steal Game 2.
May 16, 2012
by Kevin Pelton
With superior ball movement and a sound defensive game plan, the San Antonio Spurs comfortably took care of Game 1, but the Los Angeles Clippers may have found something useful by going small in the fourth quarter.
May 15, 2012
by Kevin Pelton
The matchups and rankings on offense and defense of these two teams suggest a high-scoring series. Can the Clippers stop the Spurs enough to win?
by Kevin Pelton
The Oklahoma City Thunder put an end to any talk of rust by scorching the nets against a Los Angeles Lakers team that wasn't equipped with a game plan to handle Russell Westbrook and the rest of the Thunder's weapons.
May 14, 2012
by Kevin Pelton
The L.A. Lakers have history on their side, but that's about it against a talented Oklahoma City Thunder team apparently built to match up with the Lakers.
May 10, 2012
by Kevin Pelton
After winning two games with middling shooting, the Denver Nuggets caught fire from the perimeter and blew out a Los Angeles Lakers team that got little production from its star big men.
by Kevin Pelton
Carmelo Anthony delivered another strong individual effort, but without enough help from beyond the arc and with the Miami Heat cruising on offense, the New York Knicks still saw their season come to an end.
May 9, 2012
by Kevin Pelton
Behind Kobe Bryant's heroics, the L.A. Lakers tried to overcome 40-plus middling minutes with a strong finish only to come up just short. PLUS Larry Drew relies heavily on his starters to stay alive.
May 8, 2012
by Kevin Pelton
The Utah Jazz's big starting lineup change in Game Four proved insufficient as the San Antonio Spurs closed out a sweep that was anything but gentlemanly.
May 7, 2012
by Kevin Pelton
The Los Angeles Lakers' success during the regular season was largely due to their ability to win close games, so winning by four Sunday in Denver is no surprise. The way the Lakers did it, however, was somewhat unexpected.
May 6, 2012
by Kevin Pelton
James Harden's huge fourth quarter gave the Oklahoma City Thunder a sweep of the Dallas Mavericks as well as a possible new model for late-game offense moving forward. PLUS another crazy finish gives the L.A. Clippers a 2-1 lead in their series.
May 5, 2012
by Kevin Pelton
Led by a focused and motivated JaVale McGee, the Denver Nuggets played the Los Angeles Lakers even in the frontcourt and took Game 3 in decisive fashion.
May 4, 2012
by Kevin Pelton
After two tough shooting nights in narrow home wins, Oklahoma City star Kevin Durant exploded as the Thunder seized control of the series by beating the Mavericks in Dallas Thursday.
May 3, 2012
by Kevin Pelton
As Derrick Rose, Iman Shumpert and previously Ricky Rubio battle back from torn ACLs suffered this season, a look at the numbers of past ACL victims indicates their performance is likely to be affected when they return in 2012-13.
by Kevin Pelton
The San Antonio Spurs overwhelmed the Utah Jazz Wednesday with their accurate shooting and tight defense.
May 2, 2012
by Kevin Pelton
The Atlanta Hawks' offense stopped operating at the start of the fourth quarter, dooming their chances of sweeping the first two games of their series. ALSO: The Lakers win a game that never felt as close as the final score.
May 1, 2012
by Kevin Pelton
If NBA Playoff games were horseshoes or hand grenades, the Dallas Mavericks would be in a lot better shape after two games against the Oklahoma City Thunder.

"I requested a basket that contained a wine bottle to be delivered in Norway. It is the first shop that could do it, and my boyfriend received a very good Spanish wine from La Rioja. The shop did all its best to contact a local shop in Norway in order to fulfill my wishes, since Norway has alcoholic restrictions. Since the very beginning of my order the shop kept me informed by phone about the order, and I live in Spain! My boyfriend received the package with chocolates and a rose, on time and he was really suprised and very touched. Thank you Gift Baskets Overseas to help me to make happy a person. "

Tom Finney, one of England's greatest players who was famously known as the 'Preston Plumber, has died at the age of 91, his former club Preston North End said on Friday.
"Preston North End have been informed of the extremely sad news of the passing of Sir Tom Finney," the club said in a short statement of their website.
"Sir Tom was the greatest player to ever play for Preston North End and one of the all time greats for England.
"The thoughts of everyone at the Club, and those connected with it, are with his family at this time."
Finney won 76 England caps, scoring 30 goals, and was voted Footballer of the Year in 1954 and 1957 - the first man to receive the accolade twice.
He also scored 210 goals in 473 appearances for his boyhood club before retiring in 1960 and returning to his trade as a plumber before becoming a newspaper columnist.
Finney, who could play on the right and left wing or at centre-forward, had joined his hometown club Preston as an amateur in 1937, turning professional three years later.
He helped Preston win the second division title in 1951 and won first division runners-up medals in 1953 and 1958. He also played in the FA Cup final loss to West Bromwich Albion in 1954.
Finney made his England debut at 24 against Northern Ireland in Belfast in 1946, less than a month after his Preston debut, and scored in a 7-2 win under new manager Walter Winterbottom.
He played at the World Cup in 1954 and 1958 and later that year made his last international appearance against the USSR at Wembley Stadium.
England's all-time leading goalscorer Bobby Charlton once said of him: "Sir Tom Finney was one of the greatest footballers there has ever been; he was the type of player that people would travel a long way to see.
"He's a great man and has contributed so much to football, especially in the Preston area. They love him there."
The FA tweeted on Friday: "The FA is saddened to hear of the passing of Sir Tom Finney, one of England's all-time greatest players who won 76 caps."
Finney was awarded the OBE in 1961, and was knighted at BuckinghamPalace in 1998. He became Preston's president in the 1975-76 season and has a stand named after him at Deepdale.

The pain resulting from spraying a cheesy, bloody substance from your penis while urinating. This usually results in the subject spraying said matter into the urinal while trying to have a conversation with a co-worker. Spraying subject usually spends the next few hours rocking back-and-forth in pain. The subject then becomes eligible for a complete anal exam and a trip to the "Special Room" where a camera (replete with cord) is inserted into the urethra.
