VTR Taps ActiveVideo's Cloud Video Platform
Since deploying the CloudTV GuideCast service in the fall, VTR officials say they have seen VOD usage soar without having to install any new set-tops in customers' homes.
Since deploying the CloudTV GuideCast service in the fall, VTR officials say they have seen VOD usage soar without having to install any new set-tops in customers' homes.
Liberty Global's VTR said VOD usage has doubled after deploying a new user interface for new and old set-tops based on CloudTV.
VTR: "Moving the platform to the cloud has allowed us to provide an advanced and uniform user experience across our digital set-top boxes, thus delivering our customers the best TV experience yet."
CEO Tom Rutledge said the MSO expects to have the UI rolled out to most legacy Charter markets by the end of 2016. "It continues to scale well, and is resonating with consumers," he said.
The launch of Hulu on Optimum TV is powered by ActiveVideo's CloudTV StreamCast, which delivers online video content to set-top boxes.
Cablevision is distributing Hulu to the set-top using ActiveVideo's CloudTV StreamCast.
Cablevision's Hulu integration is supported by cloud-video technology from ActiveVideo, which is now partly owned by Charter Communications and provides the backbone to that MSO's Spectrum Guide user interface.
"This new delivery of Hulu, facilitated by ActiveVideo cloud technology, provides Optimum customers with a truly unparalleled experience when accessing their cable and Hulu subscriptions from their television."
To integrate Hulu into its channel lineup, Optimum's parent company, Cablevision, had to enlist the services of cloud TV provider ActiveVideo.
To get Hulu to its customer's set-top boxes, Cablevision is leveraging ActiveVideo's CloudTV StreamCast technology.

U2's Bono Needs Surgery After Bike Accident
U2 singer Bono reportedly needs surgery after a New York City bike accident.
U2 singer Bono reportedly needs surgery after a New York City bike accident.
U2's Bono hasn't been wearing sunglasses for the last two decades to look cool. Instead, he's battling a light sensitivity caused by glaucoma.
So here's how much music is apparently worth in 2014.
Bono says he's isn't surprised Sharon Osbourne that took to Twitter for a profanity-laced rant about U2's recent iTunes album giveaway.
When you're a big enough band to warrant a Super Bowl commercial for your new single, it's pretty safe to say you've made it. But U2 frontman Bono still has the same hopes and fears as any multimillionaire musician after decades of rock stardom.
Nelson Mandela's death on Dec. 5 inspired a number of heartfelt reactions from members of the rock community. While many lamented the loss of an inspiring figure and world leader, others felt Mandela's passing on a more personal level -- including U2 frontman Bono, who was fortunate enough to count the legendary activist among his friends.
I was so disappointed when I heard that we may not see another U2 record in this decade, so imagine my jubilation when I got this news.
He wasn't ALWAYS King of Earth. He wasn't always called Bono. He once was just a scrawny lying teenager. And they weren't always called U2. True Story.
As if Bono is strapped for cash...last year U2 hit the road and broke the record for the highest grossing world tour. Forbes Magazine reported in April of 2012 that U2 has a net worth of $838 million, and as of today (May 18) Bono will become the richest musician in the world due to an investment he made back in 2009.

Mindless Monday
Or…I didn't feel like thinking today.
Category Archives: Random 5 Friday
Saturday and Catching up!
Saturday, and Catching up for the Week.
Apparently too soon, I thought life was back to normal. Hubby took off a couple of days this week. His original plans changed from a WV trip to working around the house and yard. Today, I'm combining Good Fences, Willy Nilly Friday 5, Random 5 Friday, Friday's Hunt, and Today's Flowers. I look forward to visiting you very soon!
I apologize for the wonky format. I thought switching to the WordPress new editor would help straighten it out, but it didn't. It's taken all afternoon to get this written, not inclined to start over.
Friday's Hunt v1.20 features Starts with T, Week's Favorite, and Evening.
3. Our wildflower garden is springing to life.
Monday Madness/Randomness
Monday Madness Randomness
1. Found these pretties in my wildflower garden today.
2. I had a couple visitors while I was out there, too.
3. Hubby moved the birdbaths to mow the lawn. I snapped a shot of Lady Mallard standing where the birdbath was supposed to be.
4. Sunday afternoon we took a short drive. It looks like the fishing is good here.
5. Hubby's coworkers gave him a gift card to a nice little bistro. We used it Sunday evening.

I had this post written (in my head) but my hard drive must have crashed. Let's see if I can remember all the randomness I wanted to share this week.
1. Saturday: Breakfast at Panera, then we were off to the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center with a carload of "e-cycling" to get rid of. The parking area across the street from the aquarium is where the drop-off is held. We visited the VA&MSC gift shop while there for an item a friend thought our grandson would like. I found something I liked, too! (Truthfully, there were a LOT of items I liked.) Hubby got this book for me. I look forward to learning and sharing information specific to our area.
2. Sunday afternoon: A friend and I attended a play at The Little Theater of Norfolk. We saw the final performance of The Women, a comedy set in the 1930s, written by Clare Booth Luce.
3. It's only taken a month, but today I came up with my word for 2016: Snag–as in I'm going to snag every opportunity to explore more city and state parks this year.
4. Today's weather:
5. Today: I took a 3-hour hike at First Landing State Park. It was the perfect day for it. I'd planned to wash a load of clothes and grill veggies when I got home. The traffic lights were out on our street, which should have been my first warning something was amiss. The electricity was off when I got home, so, no laundry. I lit the grill and proceeded to chop zucchini, yellow squash, sweet onion, yellow and red bell peppers–by hand–on the cutting board–right next to the food processor. Wouldn't you know? The power came on as I finished the last pepper. They were grilled before sunset, so I didn't have to finish by flashlight.
How was your weekend?
Monday After Jonas
Monday after Winter Storm Jonas
Jonas was well-behaved in our area. Life returned to normal this morning, following a 2-hour delayed opening for schools.
Here's a photo taken from my front door late Friday afternoon. The roads stayed wet, I assume they salted them well. If you look closely, you can see the sheen on the new blacktop. The three middle lanes are paved, leaving the outer ones on each side to be done when the weather straightens up. There's a steep curb up to the top of the new layer, so we can only exit the driveway to the right and go around the block if we need to go the other way.
Was your area impacted by Winter Storm Jonas?
Just Hopping By…
Just hopping by to say HI! I'm writing a devotional this week and hope to return to my regularly-scheduled programming Wednesday. I have a lot of catching up to do! See you soon!
Willy Nilly Friday 5 No. 66
Willy Nilly Friday 5 No. 66
Sharing some randomness today.
1. There's been a lot of activity on our road lately, road work/dump trucks/noise. Today, we finally figured out what they were preparing to do–milling and paving. Yay, new road soon!
2. I'm missing the White-throated Sparrows this winter. I've only seen three. In previous years we've had a dozen or more.
3. Why do football play-offs and the warmest day of winter (66*F) happen on the same day? Hubby was weary from a 12-hour workday, Saturday, so we stayed in and watched football.
4. Our Painted Bunting must have moved on. I haven't seen him since early December.
5. This pigeon is a regular customer. It's been frequenting our feeder since 2008.

Excellent service, great price, all done in an hour. Highly recommend!
Great service, good advice
Great service and a great price would definitely recommend
Fantastic guys and the price was great!! Only was £20 higher as I asked them to valet my car . Would definitely recommend to all my family in friends. Many thanks
Garage was first to respond, fairly nearby so was easy for the recovery truck to find, included a quote in their text, spoke to me on the phone (this was 8:00pm on a Friday night) and had my car repaired and ready 2 days later. Pretty amazing service.
Initial M O T was good. Time taken was great for convenience. The work that needs doing to pass the M O T is not something that this garage offer. I was quoted £39 for M O T but was actually charged £49. This is something that I hope to sort out when I take the car back to be re-tested.
Don't have right equipment
Did a brilliant job!
I was satisfied with the service. I will recommend in and out
I was quoted £39 but charged £49 Apart from that everything was perfect! Didn't have to wait everything was done within an hour, I would recommend

Professional, polite and friendly. Recommended.
Booked for 9am, still had not showed up at 9:55am so cancelled as had to go to work. Extra star given as the comms on the job were really good, just a shame the mechanic didn't show up.
Highly Recomended

For $4000 you can get yourself HP Pavillion dv9020TX which has Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz, 1GB ram nVidia GeForce Go 7600 256MB, 120GB hdd, 17" screen etc. And this is from Harvey Norman, although the unit is not yet "available" in NZ but it is listed for order.
This is the model I'm looking for if it fits my wallet, otherwise it will be the dv6130TX which is also a new range with Core 2 Duo, similar specs as dv9020TX except it is 15" screen, priced at $2999.
Comment by chiefie, on 13-Sep-2006 16:56
mmm maybe you should get Sony UX. It is ultimately very light and small. or perhaps UMPC (if it is ever available in NZ)
Comment by blahbmc, on 13-Sep-2006 17:30
I've put a few of the TX's into client sites and they are pretty damn nice. So much so that I have been contemplating switching my 13.3" Asus for one of them. But, also like you, I think that the SZ might just win me over in the end with the Duo chip.
However, I might wait for one to come out with a core 2 duo chip first...

We have the Vaio SZ and it's great! 1.69kg with long battery capacity, small and have similar (if not better) parameters then the HP mentioned earlier.
We were hesitating between the black Apple MacBook and Vaio SZ, then the Vaio won. And since then we are using it with great joy. The Apple is great too but I am missing the video card.
Comment by dave5, on 13-Sep-2006 17:56
Go for the MacBook... I've had one for the past 3 or so months. It has been a really enjoyable computer to use - totally rate it.
Comment by geekiegeek, on 13-Sep-2006 19:02
I have an SZ and it ROCKS! its small (but not to small) lite and looks fantastic. The screen is probably one of, if not the best on any notebook. It has better graphics then the mac as well (nvidia go7400) plus the added bonus of intel intergrated grapics to save battery life.
I'm even thinking about getting another one when I am in Hong Kong later this year as my wife has become quite attached to this one.

Cannes Day Three: Lou Ye's Spring Rain Disappointing, Andrea Arnold's Fish Tank Eminently Respectable
Our veteran film critic J. Hoberman is filing regular dispatches from this year's Cannes Film Festival. It's day three and, so far, Hoberman has been underwhelmed. But more importantly, has he found those wild strawberries?
Andrea Arnold's Fish Tank: the 15-year-old embodiment of a bad attitude |
A rainy afternoon, three days into the madness, the early competition has shaped up as an underwhelming match-up between Anglo-Saxon pluck and East Asian kink.
Despite its hype and early sweet spot, Lou Ye's Spring Rain turned out to be a disappointingly formless account of a gay-straight triangle (or trapezoid) that, although undoubtedly difficult to make in contemporary China, seemed to have shock value as its sole raison d'etre. More lurid (and crisply framed) but with even less heart, Park Chan-wook's feverishly baroque vampire flick Thirst inspired greater enthusiasm. But, despite AIDS and Catholic allegorizing, this overlong if intermittently comic gorefest is mainly about its rhapsodically staged pyrotechnics.
The other showings were eminently respectable. Andrea Arnold's sophomore effort Fish Tank, in which the 15-year-old embodiment of a bad attitude suffers a suitably awful (but not altogether downbeat) coming of age. To her credit, Arnold delivers standard issue miserablism with vivid urgency. Another sort of youth film, Jane Campion's Bright Star concerns the foreshortened love affair between dying poet John Keats and pioneer designer Fanny Brawne. As stylishly crafted as Fanny's outfits, Bright Star show Campion, the only woman to ever win the Palme d'Or (15 years ago for The Piano), in genteel mode.

A stray acting award aside, none of the early entries screamed "winner," although given that the jury is chaired by the most fearless actress in European cinema--Isabelle Huppert--with another consistently bold performer, Asia Argento, as sidekick (or rival), anything is possible.
Palme d'Or laureates Ken Loach, Lars von Trier, and Quentin Tarantino have yet to strut their stuff--likewise perennials Pedro Almodovar and Michael Haneke. It's a bit spooky however that the strongest of the brand-name movies has been Francis Ford Coppola's adroit and wacky Tetro, which, rejected by the competition, opened the Directors' Fortnight section. Unlike everything so far in competition, this old-fashioned, quasi-operatic, demi-tragic family drama feels like something the director had to make.

National coffee contest snubs Seattle
The most expensive Starbucks drink ever is…
That's what a young ma named Logan Warren ended up ordering when he asked a barista to make him the most expensive drink possible. (He had a gift card, after all — why not guzzle it down in one giant cup?)
The total on the bill? $23.60.
Of course, Warren might have to visit the hospital if he actually finished the drink, which he described as "tolerable, but not good."
…Barista's Curse: I don't make your coffee anymore!
That's the message from Jason Diamond, a former barista who writes in the New York Times that he'll always be the guy who makes coffee — at least, to some.
Once upon a time, Diamond made coffee at New York's Think Coffee. Diamond is a writer now, but he still frequents the coffee shop. And he still sees former customers.
…Caffeine now comes in a tube — should Starbucks worry?
Meaning, people might not inhale caffeine from a white cup marked with a green logo? Uhoh.
Should Starbucks — and the world's massive coffee industry — be worried?
…Coffee no longer grounds for beheading
Seattle's 15 best coffee shops, and why Starbucks made the list
Why director David Lynch is 'obsessed with coffee'
That's what director David Lynch writes in a special column about obsession for the Huffington Post.
Lynch, AGE, said he's been drinking coffee since he was nine years old, when he decided he wanted to be a painter.
…Take that, Starbucks! See Tim Hortons' giant coffee cup
The cup also holds more than the human stomach, but that's another story.
Now, Starbucks competitor Tim Hortons is getting in on the giant-cup trend, but that company isn't packing its jumbo containers full of ice.
…Starbucks to baristas: No blonde jokes allowed
A: Just don't. You'll regret it.
OK, so that's not the funniest Starbucks joke ever — it's not funny at all. But that doesn't make it any less true, according to commenters on the Starbucks Gossip Blog.
…Starbucks launches milder coffee: Do customers prefer blondes?
The "blonde roast" could help Starbucks compete with no-frills chains like Dunkin' Donuts and McDonald's, which serve mild coffee in addition to espresso drinks.
But what are folks saying about the new blonde on the block so far?

Cakes & Cookies
CONVENTIONAL or STANDARD Mixing Method 1.Measure all ingredients accurately. 2.Cream fat and sugar together (resembles whipped cream). 3.Beat in eggs usually ONE AT A TIME. 4.SIFT dry ingredients together. 5.Add the dry ingredients and liquid ALTERNATELY to the creamed mixture. Begin and end with the DRY ingredients. 6.Mix until well-blended (NOT incorporating air, just mixing!)
What's the difference? Cookies and cakes use very similar ingredients and proportions. The main difference is that COOKIES have very little LIQUID –Gives them a more substantial texture
Six Major Groups of Cookies: ROLLED cookies DROP cookies BAR cookies REFRIGERATOR cookies MOLDED cookies PRESSED cookies
ROLLED COOKIES Use a stiff dough Roll out the dough and cut with cookie cutters EX: sugar cookies *Rolled cookies are easier to roll and shape if the dough is CHILLED before ROLLING!
DROP COOKIES Made with a soft dough Leave 2" between cookies to allow for SPREADING while cooking Should be UNIFORM in size so cookies bake evenly EX: Chocolate Chip Cookies
BAR COOKIES Use a soft dough Dough is spread into a pan (maybe 9x13), baked, and then sliced EX: Brownies Rice Krispie Treats
REFRIGERATOR COOKIES Also known as ICEBOX cookies Contain a high proportion of fat Dough is shaped into a long roll, refrigerated for several days, sliced, and baked Is SOFT before it's chilled! EX: icebox cookies, any slice- and-bake premade cookies
MOLDED COOKIES The dough is shaped with the hands or fingers Usually flattened with a fork or glass before baking EX: peanut butter cookies
PRESSED COOKIES A very rich, stiff dough that is packed into a cookie press A cookie press has perforated disks through which the dough is pushed through onto cookie sheets
Choices, choices… Butter vs. Margarine? What kind of baking sheet? Greased or ungreased? How many sheets at a time? How long do they bake? How much time in between batches?
BUTTER vs. MARGARINE Butter adds a sweet, delicate, rich flavor to cookies! Use butter if possible for baking cookies unless the recipe specifies otherwise Unsalted butter is the preferred choice – Salted butter can be used, but it's difficult to control the amt. of salt in the recipe if used
What kind of baking sheet? Shiny aluminum is best! –Promotes even browning and a light brown crust –Dark finishes absorb heat quicker and may cause the cookies to over-brown The baking sheet should have low sides, or no sides! Baking sheets with a cushion of air between 2 layers are desirable as they help prevent over browning
Greased or ungreased? When a recipe calls for a greased baking sheet, lightly grease with vegetable shortening or a nonstick cooking spray An alternative to greasing is to cover the baking sheet with either parchment paper or a non-stick baking pad –eliminate adding extra fat to the cookies, and also make cleaning the baking sheet easier! When a recipe states to use an ungreased baking sheet, the cookies can be placed directly on the baking sheet –they should not stick after they are baked!
How many sheets at a time? Cookies bake better if you bake just one sheet of cookies at a time! If the cookies are baking unevenly, try rotating the baking sheet 180 degrees half way through the baking time If you need to bake two sheets at a time, reverse the position of the sheets half way through the baking time, and rotate each 180 degrees
How long do they bake? Bake the Minimum Time! –Check for doneness at the minimum time length stated in a recipe, then bake a little longer if needed –Cookies can easily overbake; watch for visual clues for doneness such as brown edges Baking times given in a recipe are only guidelines; each oven is different! Use a clean toothpick to check for doneness in bar cookies –If just a few moist crumbs cling to the toothpick, they are probably done
How much time in between batches? Let the Baking Sheet Cool! Otherwise the dough starts to soften and the cookies lose shape (spreading) before they are placed in the oven!

Abstract The potential use of cross-flow ultrafiltration membranes to filter and break a foam solution of an aqueous polymer is investigated. A solution made of 300 kDa polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) dissolved in water was introduced into a tubular ultrafiltration membrane module having a 100 kDa MW cut off. The polymer has the property of being able to form metastable foam when air is injected into the solution. The foam was injected into the membrane module at different pressures and concentrations. It was found that the membranes were able to filter the foam solution with rejection increasing with the polymer concentration in the feed. It was also found that, under the same transmembrane pressures (TMPs), the permeate flux was higher with the foam present than without. Depending on the flow conditions, up to 125% increase in flux was observed. It was possible to break the foam solution by concentrating it in a recycled tank and the permeate flux was found to depend on the nature of two-phase flow regime in the membrane tubes. It was possible to predict the permeate flux of the foam solution by modifying the mass transfer coefficient in the theoretical models used for predicting the flux of single-phase flow.

In your kitchen, you probably have a spice- or powder-filled container with a plastic top that has two tabs – one for pouring or spooning, and one for sprinkling. That top is most likely derived from the original Flapper my company invented.
Today, there's an entire line of Flapper products used by more than 150 companies, including Durkee, Cremora, San Giorgio, Ronzoni and McCormick. Thanks to that initial success, over the years I've been able to build a multimillion-dollar manufacturing company that provided me with the means to be a major philanthropist, endowing hospitals, universities and charities that offer valuable help to thousands of people.
I tell you this not to brag, but to make the point that the tips I share with you in this article concerning leveraging adversity to reach new heights of professional success in a tough economy have stood the test of time.
These tips will help you stop worrying and start doing. … Remember, when it comes to all types of adversity, taking positive action with the ideas you believe are the wisest at the moment (knowing that things may change for the better or worse tomorrow) can't help but lead to eventual success.
Let's start with the first and fundamental rule of successful management through good times and bad. It's one, tragically, that executives often forget …
Management and employee success are intertwined.
I can gauge the health of any business in the faces of the employees – for beyond all the mechanics of the place, there is one truth: A viable business is a collective human endeavor. Indeed, much of what is wrong in a good deal of current business theory – and which has come to the surface now that times are hard – is the failure to recognize that the heart of any business beats to the rhythms of its employees.
The bottom line must not be profit, because profit can only come as a fruit of the health and dreams of the human endeavor the business represents. Management's training and development responsibility, then, is to cultivate within the workplace an environment which lends itself to creativity, dreams and collective spirit larger than the sum of its paychecks and mechanical parts.
For example, at one of Weatherchem's first staff meetings, we discussed company benefits. As we knocked around ideas to promote productivity, commitment and creativity, the plant controller asked, "Why bother? People are like cattle. You can herd them any way you want."
I fired him. Of the original handful of employees, he was the only one who did not stay. From that day forward, I made sure that everyone at Weatherchem understood my lifelong fundamental conviction: Everyone deserves to be loved, respected and honored; we all win or lose together.
This brings me to the second tip I want to share with you concerning how to survive the current economic adversity we're all experiencing and strengthen your business for the future …
Make collaboration with employees your path to success.
It's far better to collaborate. I've always preferred to plant seeds in other's minds while they plant seeds in mine. Some germinate and some don't. But those that do tend to sprout and bloom for me in wonderful ways.
So if your business is currently suffering, walk around and talk to all your employees. Ask: How can we improve this place? What's wrong here?
I guarantee you will get more valuable information in just a few hours than you could possibly act upon in a year! Allow me to share with you a personal reminiscence to illustrate my point.
Fifty years ago at the age of 30, when I was working for my father at the Weatherhead Company, I sat down with the 15 members of the AFL-UAW Local 463 union negotiation committee led by its president, John Allar, to discuss the financial hardships we were suffering.
We were in a major pickle. Annual sales at the Cleveland plant were $9 million and we were down $2.7 million. I said to Allar, "Rather than be at each other's throats as we sink, let's work together – collaborate – and figure out how we're going to get out of this mess."
You know what? The Weatherhead Company and the union did get out of that mess – by working together.
To his day, I don't understand why Congress had the top executives of the auto industry come to Washington to participate in hearings but didn't call in a union negotiating committee from one, two or all three car companies. Why would Congress not want to hear the union side of things?
For that matter, why didn't Congress have the smarts to invite a contingent of assembly line workers to share viewpoints from the factory floor? (Those hard-working, blue-collar folks would probably have put forth the most valuable testimony of all!)
The bottom line is that Congress and the executive branch of our government may have comprehension of the problems facing the auto industry, but they don't have practical knowledge on how to rectify what's wrong.
Don't you make the same mistake: Talk to your employees. Discover what's running through their minds, and be sure to let them know what you're thinking, and that you want their help because you're all in the same boat.
If you must cut salaries, for example, also make sure your employees know that there will be a firm salary restoration date or make clear the company performance criteria/metrics for reinstating full salaries.
While we're on the subject of cutting things, be it salaries or the number of your employees, let me tell you that the word "cutting" is negative, and for that reason I dislike using it or even thinking it.
Don't speak or even think in terms of cutting; instead, use the term "saving". For example, I would position a company-wide salary cut as a company-wide salary savings.
It may strike you as mere word-play, but trust me, substituting the positive imagery of "savings" for the negative connotation of "cutting" will help to rally your employees and persuade them to view you as a caring and compassionate leader doing your best to fairly and evenly spread the pain – which, I hope you truly are.
Finally, we come to my last tip, which is to pay extra-close attention to your customers. Here, two rules of marketing/sales during times of economic strife come into play:
(The tried and true 80/20 rule is actually called the "Pareto Principle" after the Italian economist who first recognized it in the early 1900s. It applies to many areas: 80 percent percent of contributions come from 20 percent of a charity's donors ... and so on.)
Chances are that many of your customers are going through the same economic turmoil you're experiencing and are looking for ways to realize cost cutting (I mean cost savings, of course.)
Your timely customer service visit, telephone call or e-mail might be just the ticket to let that 20 percent treasure trove of current best customers know how much they mean to you and get them thinking they would be better off reducing – or eliminating – the business they do with some other company as opposed to yours!
Use these tips and build upon them one after another, and you will be the ultimate master of your adversity during tough economic times, as well as when financial prosperity once again returns, which I'm confident it will.

Changes to the laws of football will be up for debate at the International Football Association Board (IFAB) Annual General Meeting (AGM) this week, with the Scottish FA at the centre of talks on the future of the beautiful game.
A plethora of potentially game-changing innovations will be discussed at the AGM, hosted this year by the English FA on Friday, 3 March at Wembley, with a variety of topics ranging from temporary dismissals to video assistant referees (VAR) up for discussion.
One of the main topics on the agenda will see discussion as to whether to allow individual national football associations more flexibility to modify aspects of the way their domestic football below the highest level is organised.
If approved, the change would allow for football below the top leagues in each country to modify the size of the field of play, the weight and size of the ball, the size of the goalposts, the duration of the match, the number of substitutes (up to a maximum of five) and the use of return substitutes.
The use of temporary dismissals – or sin bins – for youth, veterans, disability and grassroots levels of football will be discussed, having been trialled in UEFA Development tournaments in 2015 and 2016.
Attendees will also hear feedback on the VAR experiments that have taken place so far, with the technology used for the first time in the FIFA Club World Cup in December.
An update will also be provided by organisations who have experimented with the use of a fourth substitute in extra time.
The Scottish FA is one of a handful of governing bodies to have trialled the use of a fourth substitute in its competitions, having introduced it in this season's William Hill Scottish Cup.
Four teams in Scotland have taken advantage of the fourth substitute option this season, with Ayr United becoming the first Scottish team to make a fourth substitution in their fourth round tie against Queen's Park.
Scottish FA Chief Executive Stewart Regan said: "I'm looking forward to discussing modifications to the Laws of the Game, which could have huge benefits for the grassroots game in particular.
"It has potential to encourage participation, removing unfair aspects of the game or barriers. Allowing smaller dimensioned pitches, for example, could encourage people to play football later into their lives, allowing them stay fitter and healthier for longer."
The IFAB is the universal decision-making body for the Laws of the Game of association football. It is comprised of the four British football associations (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), holding one vote each, with FIFA holding four votes. Passing a motion requires a three-quarters majority.
A delegation from the Scottish FA will attend the AGM, including Stewart Regan, Scottish FA President Alan McRae, Vice-President Rod Petrie, Chief Operating Officer Andrew McKinlay and Head of Referee Operations John Fleming.
"The IFAB is a historical organisation that pre-dates FIFA, dating back to the founding fathers of the game," said Stewart Regan.
"The Scottish FA's involvement reinforces Scotland's role as one of the original driving forces behind the game of football. A seat on the board of IFAB and being part of the group that actually determines the new rules and changes to the Laws of the Game is a high-profile and prestigious position.
"It strengthens our relationship with FIFA and ensures that the British associations have a very strong influence on how the game develops."

In addition to those points indicated by kamamer above, several other significant advances were produced by the German WWII weapons designers. These were namely:
The first assault rifle, the Maschinerkarabiner (Mkb) 42, had both features and was employed to great effect by elite German Kampfgruppen. The next major advance was the AK-47, Avtomat Kalashnikova invented in 1947. It also boasted a selector switch, allowing single shots or fully automated fire. See also The AK is OK!
To review.
First, it removes more men from the battle. Sounds odd, I know. Here is how it works. In a heated battle if a man is shot and killed nothing can be done about it. However if a man is wounded he must be cared for. So do the math: 1 man wounded + 2 men to carry him away from the front line = 3 men out of action. 3 > 1 man killed. Also it is bad for an army to leave a wounded man at the front this brings me to the second purpose of the assault rifle, to demoralize.
If it is not possible to remove a wounded man from the fighting, he will stay there and bleed and scream in pain. Sounds bad right? Now his fellow troops and friends see what the weapon did to this man, he is not dying a quick death. Also their own army does not seem to care enough about him to take him to a MASH or hospital. Who wants to fight for such pricks as these who would let my freind die a horrible slow death. There goes the will to fight of 7 or 8 of the enemy.
The assault rifle is as much a psychological weapon as a physical one.
Assault weapons are the primary (firing) weapons designed to be used in an (infantry) assault. Weird, huh? A few properties follow:
An interesting thing about the writeups in this node is that most of them deal with the question of "what is an assault rifle?" rather than the stated question of "what is an assault weapon?". Legally, according to the 1994 "Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement" (complete text with commentary found at http://www.recguns.com/IIG4.html):
A semiautomatic rifle is an "assault weapon" if it can accept a detachable magazine and has two or more of the following: A folding or telescoping stock A pistol grip A bayonet mount A flash suppressor, or threads to attach one A grenade launcher.
A semiautomatic shotgun is an "assault weapon" if it has two or more of the following: A folding or telescoping stock A pistol grip A magazine capacity of over 5 rounds A detachable magazine.
A semiautomatic pistol is an "assault weapon" if it can accept a detachable magazine and has two or more of the following: A magazine outside of the grip A threaded barrel to accept a flash suppressor, silencer, etc. A barrel shroud A weight of 50 oz or more, unloaded "A semiautomatic version of an automatic firearm."
As you can see, many of the qualites of an "assault weapon" are purely cosmetic. Also note that, unless it is specifically mentioned by the bill (again at http://www.recguns.com/IIG4.html), a fully automatic weapon is not an assault weapon!
The bill also bans what it calls "large capacity ammunition feeding devices" (LCAFDs). An LCAFD is any magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds of ammunition (except .22 caliber ammo).
It should be noted that assalt weapons are used in only one-fifth of one percent (.2%) of all violent crimes and only about one percent (1%) of gun crimes.

Interactions Between Fish and Aquatic Macrophytes in Inland Waters: A Review (FAO Fisheries Technical Paper No. 396)
By: T. Petr (author), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (author)Paperback1 - 2 weeks availability
For a fishery manager it is important to understand the role of aquatic macrophytes in inland waters, as this will assist in adjusting strategies for optimizing capture fisheries. Fish, crayfish, some mammals and birds and some other organisms use macrophytes to their benefit, such as spawning, nursery, feeding grounds and as a refuge. Macrophytes play an important role in the fish food chain, especially as a substrate for aquatic organisms on which the fish feed. Aquatic plants have a controlling effect on prey-predator interrelationships, have an important function in water quality and, hence, can be used in biomanipulation for improving fish stocks. Special plant communities, such as floating meadows of varzea and igapo, are essential for fish and fisheries in the Amazon basin, while sudd formation may lead to the reduction in fish stocks. The present review has been compiled in response to requests for an update on such interactions, and aims to assist policy planners, managers, field specialists, and other persons interested in this topic.Create a review

Donaji & the Magical Poncho
This is the story of a fearless girl and her encounter with the wicked cold wind god
4.30 / 5.00 5,280 ViewsAfter this being on youtube for about a year, I present to you the first installment of 3-Up. In this episode, a group of Koopas are serving Smithy in finding power sources for him. These guys plan to go for the Mushroom Kingdom to invade it, but first they pay Bowser a visit to steal his troops. The Mario Bros. fear the potential terrors of these Koopas. Check out the video for the full episode and enjoy!
Finally this is uploaded to Newgrounds after a year! Well I had to get some preparations on it like making sure it's protected and fits the filesize, but hey it's on here now! Also you like the preloader does it remind you of a certain thing :D?
nice, exciting, plz continue.
but why is it called 3-up?????????????
The 3-Up has nothing to do with the story but with the main characters itself. Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi are the main protagonist of this series. I was thinking of calling it 1-Up for the Mario reference but if there is three characters, why not call it 3-Up. Plus the main three villains, the Cyber Koopas also fit that term as well. So I thought it was clever to call it that. I almost cancelled the series, but decided to actually start it back up. So I will be releasing another episode before September.
Cool animation and it was uploaded on my birthday too.Keep up the good work!
Better than the Mecha Sonic Vs. Shadow Submission! Please Pac-Boy return to Newgrounds in order to continue 3-Up and the SMBZ Collab! This was 100% epic!

My new toolbox. The main part of the box is made from Red gum, draws are Huon pine and the draw bottoms are black leather. I estimate that this took me 150-200 hours to make. I spent most of these hours cutting, recutting and rerecutting the dovetails till they were perfect (in my opinion anyway) in not sure if I can bring myself to actually use it now that it's finally finished. I might head down to the shed a bit latter and carefully place a few select tools.

My nervous system and my wallet.
My thoughts. They are always negative about myself.
I've always thought I'm too ugly. I don't know if I'll ever be able to change that.
I know that feel.
There is no peace in my marriage and no contentment in our sex life.
Yeah, I have tried the religious slant. We aren't JW, she is Christian and I used to be. In fact, this is one of the reasons for me walking away from my belief in god. It didn't go anywhere, prayer changed nothing, marriage bible studies did nothing, group prayers did nothing ...
'cause it's not as stable as I wwant it to be
my brain
next to nothing...... personally I believe that I gave myself brain damage with several overdoses I did a few years back....
I have an older son that is "punishing " me by giving me the silent treatment, because I admonished him to pay his car loan or at least talk to the bank and not hide from their phone calls.
Gosh, thank you! I appreciate the encouragement very much. Never easy being a good parent!!

Rossignol Taipan Review And Buying Advice
Rossignol Taipan 2015 - 2011 Review by The Good Ride
Past ReviewsThe Rossignol Taipan is a very versatile board and it's been a long time Good Ride Favorite. This year the Templar edged out the Taipan but it's still very recommendable if you don't ride in icy conditions and want to save $50. Don't let the price tag pigeon hole you into thinking this is just a low cost beginner/intermediate board. It's a lot more than that.
2015-2011 Rossignol Taipan Review
The Rossignol Taipan hasn't changed much since we have been riding it but it's still a great board. Each year there are some minor refinements but it still remains the same general ride. The real kicker with this board is it's ability to have a consistent ride in all conditions.
Size: 158 and 156
Days: 30+
Conditions: Almost every Condition from 3+ Feet of good sierra powder to good grromers to hard pack that is more like snowment but not true ice like some places see.
Riders: James, Eli, Peter, Mike, Jimbo, Mary and many others.
Boots: Burton Ion, Burton SLX, Burton Imperial, Nike Kaiju, Nike Zoom Ites, Burton Hail, Burton Ruler, Salomon Synapse
Bindings: Burton Cartel, Burton Cartel Limited, Burton Malavita, Burton Diode, Union Force, Flux DMCC, Flux SF45,Burton Genesis, Union SL, Union Contact Pro and a few others.
Set Up: Centered 22.5-23″ wide 15 front -9 back and 15 front and -15 back. Set back all the way for deep powder, 15 front and -3 back. Set back a little 15 front -6 back approx 23″ wide.
Years ago when we first tried the Taipan we all did not expect to like it as much as we did. It sits in a higher class of boards than it's price range would lead you to believe. Many companies say almost all of their boards are a peak to park weapon but we rarely say this here at the Good Ride. It's one of those all mountain do everything boards that does everything well. It's nothing exceptional in any category but is never disappointing and that is all you can ask for a true all mountain board. The all condition consistency is what really gets us. It's personality remains the same from ice to powder.
On Snow Feel: Hybrid Camber has many of the qualities of rocker or hybrid rocker but doesn't have that ultra loose feel like a skate board with no trucks. It's also easier to one foot off the chair or to flat base on those long cat track runs. It's the kind of board that allows a stable all mountain ride that performs well (not great) at everything.
Powder: We have had many deep days (some over 3 feet) and the sierra cement we often ride in is very tough on a boards powder qualities. The setback and all around floaty nature of the Taipan made us all not want to trade boards after riding this. This is border line excellent and almost as good as many dedicated pow boards. You can set it all the way back like we did and get floaty/surfy/slashy or you can center the stance and take on the powder switch and regular. Either way it's a lot of fun. You can't get much better for a board of this shape and size.
Turn Initiation and Carving– The Taipan can carve! It's not the best we have ridden but it's very good. It's very easy to transition from edge to edge but doesn't have that overly easy turn back up hill kind of feeling that makes it border line good. We actually prefer this over the super easy feeling we just described. When it's time to make a wider radius turn the Taipan can hold an edge very well. This is a board that can react to different turning moods rather well.
Speed: This board isn't going to be seen near a boarder x track but it's not that bad for it's flex. We'd say it's closer to the average side of things but the base is pretty fast and there isn't too much chatter for it's soft flex.
Uneven Terrain: It deals with all types of terrain very well and its the kind of board that can make bad conditions a little better. They still suck but they just suck less.
Weight– It's a medium border line light weight board and isn't going to hurt on the lift but isn't super light either.
Edge Hold: There is a very good grip here. In all the conditions we rode in we never felt like we needed more but at the same time it didn't feel limitless like the Rossignol Onemagtek. We didn't experience east coast ice and don't want to but it climbed an icy pipe wall pretty well and handled snowment very well.
Flex: On the medium side of soft overall but stiffer between the feet and really soft at the tip/tail. It makes for a fun board to butter around the mountain if you are in that kind of mood.
Switch: This is a directional twin with a pretty good setback but it still rode switch just like it did regular when we centered up the stance.
Jibbing– Really fun and borderline excellent. We felt comfortable hitting any jib in the park. There are some boards that are better here but it's not bad if you like to do everything.
Pipe: Really impressive for a board with a flex like this. The grip between the feet is pretty good and we all had fun in the 18′ and 22′ pipes we rode in. Good times.
Jumps: Not super springy but it's not lifeless either. Lapping the roller coaster run is doable and it's got a nice stable take off as well as a forgiving landing. It's just not really the best for big ollies off natural terrain on the mountain.
Maybe we are just overly stoked on the Taipan because of the low price tag but the bottom line is this is just a fun all around board that gives you a lot more than you would expect for the price. If you truly want to do almost everything and can only afford one board this is a great choice.

User Reviews of the Rossignol Taipan
love it
paid nothing and works better than my super cool lib tech lando phoenix (157 mw).
what i aprreciate the most of this board is that i can reach high speed and feel confident that it won't let me down. Super stable, fast (not fast like the lib tech, but fast enough), resistent. The best board i tried in 15 years.
Taipan Love
I love my Taipan!!! Tons of powder this year in CO. and this board rocks in POW. It also excels in almost every category. It is speedy and yet has great pop on jumps. It turns effortlessly and is beautiful to boot. Great All-Mountain Dominator. By the way, did I say I really like this board. A no-brainer board and a" good ride" favorite!
versatile board
I'm tempted to give it a 4 and would have done 3.5 if that was an option. First board I owned and have bought a number since as I'm still figuring out what works best for me. On the one hand, the board doesn't wow me with any one trait and doesn't excite. On the other, to quote Dudley Moore as Arther, "It doesn't suck." I've had it in a wide variety of snow conditions from ice to good groomers and powder. I had trouble with it in around 1.5 feet of pow but I suspect it was more me than the board. For East Coast, it gets by most of the time although on real ice it can suddenly lose its edge. However, it's generally forgiving and does most things asked of it. I can carve, jump, ride switch, do simple terrain features, and get a little vert in a 18' pipe. It's not a fast board, but fairly stable when I've pushed it. Every once in awhile I decide that I've outgrown it, but when I come back to it, the Taipan handles what I throw at it as if to say, "That's all you've got?" There's a weird duality to it in that regard. Bottom line? I think The Good Ride is on the money. I have the 2011 in a '53 and have considered getting a '56 and losing my other boards.
Incredible Deal
Bought the 2012 160 cm version of this board in the summer 2013 rode it all year on the east coast. It is the second board I've owned and the 5th I've road extensively. It rides playful and catch free all over the mountain, but when you want it to grab an edge it will, even in the ice that I ride on. Handles ice well, floats on what little "powder" I see just fine, goes off jumps and slides down boxes. I love the hybrid shape and varying flex. The board rarely punishes you for the mistakes you make(especially as a new rider). It is not the fastest board I've rode but it is still pretty quick. My only complaint about the board is the graphic for 2013, the 2012 board is beautiful and is hanging on my wall right now waiting for winter,if I had this 2013 board, it would stay in my basement in it's bag Rossi needs to bring back the design from the 2011 2012 models.
Great board
This is my second board. Thank you James for recommendations! I am very happy with this board (Taipan 156 11-12). I'm 179 cm and 65 kg. Turn initiation is easy but it is also great in powder. It also has a lot of pop and forgive my mistakes. It has interesting flex, all board is medium flex, but nose and tail are soft.Base scratches easier then on GNU or Lib tech, but still ok. It looks much better then on the picture. By all characteristics it is better the my previous camber board. Great all around board

(This article belongs to the Special Issue Plant Light Signalling)
Jasmonates (JA) are lipid-derived plant hormones. They have been shown to be important regulators of photomorphogenesis, a developmental program in plants, which is activated by light through different red and blue light sensitive photoreceptors. In rice, inhibition of coleoptile growth by light is a central event in photomorphogenesis. This growth inhibition is impaired, when jasmonate biosynthesis is knocked out. Previously, we found that JASMONATE RESISTANT 1 (OsJAR1) transcripts were not induced in the phytochrome (phy) mutant phyAphyC. Therefore, in the current study we investigated the regulation of JA and its highly bioactive derivative (+)-7-iso-jasmonoyl-L-isoleucine (JA-Ile), as well as the transcriptional regulation of several JA-dependent genes both in wild type and phyAphyC mutant. JA and JA-Ile levels increased in the mutant seedlings in response to blue light. However, in phyAphyC mutant leaves, which were continuously wounded, JA and JA-Ile levels were lower compared to those in the wild type. Hence, the mutation of phyA and phyC has differential effects on jasmonate levels depending on the tissue and developmental stage. Our results suggest that the contribution of JA-Ile to signaling during photomorphogenesis of rice is minor, as coleoptile phenotypes of phyAphyC mutants resemble those of jasmonate-deficient mutants despite the fact that induction by blue light leads to higher levels of JA-Ile compared to the wild type. We postulate that phyA and phyC could control the activity of specific enzymes metabolizing JA to active derivatives. View Full-TextKeywords:

WA - Four people murdered in three-state killing spree, Sept-Oct 2011
Cody Myers went missing on Saturday, but his car popped up in Salem during a crime at a local gas station.
His family says Cody Myers left his home in Lafayette on Saturday for the Newport Jazz Festival. He was going alone. That was the last time his family saw him.
Sunday a clue emerged for Cody's family. According to Klein, who spoke with detectives, Cody's car was spotted Saturday night around midnight driving erratically on I-5 near Salem.
A short time later, around 1:00 a.m., Cody's car stopped at this gas station off of Lancaster Drive Southeast. His sister says Cody wasn't in the car, but a woman was driving. She was pictured in the store's security cameras used a stolen credit card to buy milk and cigarettes.
The store's clerk told us he chased after her as she sped off, writing down the car's license plate number.

Is that blowing the margins? I can't tell with the program I'm using.
I'm not far from these places. And I have a son about the same age.
"Casting Crowns" (on his Tshirt) is a Christian band and probably not a Tshirt that a rowdy kid would be wearing.

I wonder what time Cody left on Saturday? MSM says he was going to the jazz festival in Newport. The events on Saturday started at 9:30 am, but the music started about noon. (http://www.jazzatnewport.org/home.cfm?dir_cat=91272) So presumably he would have left early to mid morning. It takes less than 2 hours to drive from Lafayette to Newport.
He was alone, so it's hard to say if he made it to the festival or not. He did not text his family saying he made it, but he's 19, and might not have even thought about it. I wonder if he planned on staying in Newport that night for the events on Sunday, or if he planned to drive back that night?
Maybe something happened at the festival, and that person took the car and back-tracked to Salem? Or, since the person was also in possession of a stolen credit card, hopefully they just stole the car and Cody got stranded. Maybe his cell phone died and his charger was in the car? Have they tried to ping the phone?

He's 6'3" - that's pretty tall!
Here's a pic of a Plymouth Breeze. The article didn't mention the year of the one he was driving?

He appears to be a healthy, happy and attractive young man. I know his family is just crazy about now. I too like Casting Crowns. (shirt) Indicates to me he is confident in who he is and very well adjusted.
SWMNBN, I agree with your assesment that he may have gotten stranded. Perhaps even lost his wallet in the deal. I hope he turns up soon. The car wound up back in Salem? hmmmmmmmm

Thank you for the map. Oh my, first look by me and my heart says he never made it there. That would be "jumping to conclusions" I know but this is what MY logic says.
10-04-2011, 07:57 AM #11"Not only did they try to get fuel, but they also got a loaf of bread, a gallon of milk, some ravioli in a can – which kind of tells me that maybe they live in the Salem area," said Klein.
There was another man in the car at the gas station but he had his head covered.
Myers' family now worries he may have been carjacked.
The white four-door Plymouth Breeze has an Oregon license plate that reads 025-CCH. It also has the word "Espresso" written on the lower part of both sides.
Hmmmm....who's credit card was used? I assume it's not Cody's or else that would have been said?
Milk and a can of ravioli? Sounds to me like the woman has a child or children.......
