Both Ofcom and the UK government have decided that trying to block illegal filesharing website was "too cumbersome and unworkable" and are instead looking at other ways of protecting copyright holders.
Business secretary Vince Cable has said that while site blocking is not a realistic option of preventing illegal filesharing at the moment, other measures were being investigated. Last year the Digital Economy Act proposed such site blocking but a consultation document published by Cable has ruled it out for the moment.
"Music and film makers have to be able to take effective and justified measures," he said. "The basic philosophy is we do recognise the need for protection, but it has to be protection that's proportionate to needs and based on evidence."
One change which has been introduced however means that ripping music from a CD you own is no longer illegal. "This brings the law into line with, frankly, comon sense," said Cable. "We need to have a legal framework that supports consumer use rather than treat it as regrettable. We can't say that businesses should embrace technology but say to consumers they can't use technology for products they have paid for."
There are still some issues to be ironed out however over the storage of digital media in the cloud and Cable was not able to give any details on this.
Communications minister, Ed Vaizey also spoke about the need to protect copyright holders, talking about introducing a system where ISPs and copyright holders would be able to come to an arrangement without having to go through the expensive and lengthy court process.
"One of the things I've enabled is conversations between ISPs and rights holders. I want to see if ISPs and rights holders can come to agree a process to get facts together before going to court. The key point is up to court to make a [final] decision."
Last week we saw a landmark ruling when the courts in London ordered BT to prevent its customers from accessing the filesharing site Newzbin2.

Health Information
TamoxifenSkip to the navigation
Drug Information
Tamoxifen is an antiestrogen drug primarily used to treat women with breast cancer or possibly to help prevent breast cancer in women at high risk. It is also used to treat mastalgia (painful breasts) and gynecomastia (abnormal breast enlargement in males).
Common brand names:Nolvadex, Soltamox
Summary of Interactions with Vitamins, Herbs, & Foods
Replenish Depleted Nutrients
Reduce Side Effects
Support Medicine
Gamma Linolenic Acid
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), found in evening primrose and borage oils, may enhance the therapeutic effects of tamoxifen. A small group of breast cancer patients took 2.8 g of oral GLA per day in addition to tamoxifen, in a preliminary trial.1 Another group of breast cancer patients took tamoxifen alone. Those taking the GLA-tamoxifen combination appeared to have a better clinical response than did those taking tamoxifen alone. However, the results of this preliminary research are far from conclusive and need to be confirmed in a larger, more definitive trial.
In preliminary research, large amounts of melatonin were used successfully in combination with tamoxifen in a few people with breast cancer for whom tamoxifen had previously failed.2 The amounts used in this study should be taken only under the supervision of a doctor.The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.
Tocotrienols are compounds similar to vitamin E that are found in palm oil. Test tube studies have shown that tocotrienols enhance the effects of tamoxifen.3 Controlled studies are needed to determine whether supplementing with tocotrienols might enhance the anticancer effects of tamoxifen.The interaction is supported by preliminary, weak, fragmentary, and/or contradictory scientific evidence.
Reduces Effectiveness
Potential Negative Interaction
Preliminary research in animals found that the citrus flavonoid tangeretin (found primarily in the peel of citrus fruits) interferes with the ability of tamoxifen to inhibit tumor growth.4 Although the evidence is far from conclusive, people taking tamoxifen should probably avoid citrus bioflavonoid supplements, as well as beverages and foods to which citrus peel oils have been added.

text: I give Monroe a 95% chance of reaching his considerable potential. I love the kid's attitude and work ethic and his obvious high basketball IQ, and he's very very skilled. Because of his work ethic, he will absolutely maximize his physical potential: he'll get a lot stronger over the years. I also love his willingness to be a team player - and he makes a lot of great little plays. I see him as a focal point on offense down the road - a great high post player and competent low post player, a super passer, a fine scorer. I see him as one of the league's better rebounders. And I see him as a smart defender with great hands. I see zero reason why he's not an all-star caliber player in a few seasons. I give Cousins a 40% chance of reaching his considerable potential. I'm not 100% sure his potential ceiling is higher than Monroe's - especially after Monroe attains his peak strength in the next 5 years or so - but I can get the argument that his potential is slightly higher. I see Cousins as one of the least mature players the league has ever seen, and that just has to scare any sane follower of this game. I give him a 60% chance of imploding, and a high chance of being a guy who just can't quite be bothered to work on his game like a star does. There is no way I would take Cousins over Monroe, because Monroe is looking like he's a sure thing to at least be a good starting center or power forward (either or both positions) in this league, and he's got a really good chance of being better than that.

I was wondering what might be the best remotes you can find right now for use with XBMC (Windows)? By best I mean they're durable, plenty of features, but most of all are straightforward to set up and work reliably. I found this http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Rem...ol_reviews. I can't help but feel that there are more options or maybe it's a bit outdated.
I think what I'm really looking for is a remote that will be supported by XBMC several versions down the road.

That's a pretty comprehensive list on the wiki. Might be a tad dated but remotes don't pop up overly often.
As to "a remote that will be supported by XBMC several versions down the road" ... well, that would require a CBRemote (CB = Cyrstal Ball .... ).

I picked up a Harmony 300i refurbished at Newegg for 16.99 and I love it. It is programmable for 4 devices, I use it to control the TV, Tivo, Roku and XBMC (by emulating an MCE keyboard). It is easy to program online and it helped me to dump 4 other remotes.

If you liked the 300i your going to love the higher end Harmony remotes. Not only do they do more devices but you can program what turns on when. So it one button to watch TV, one button to watch video, plus you have speed control on you devices so they turn on in the order you want. I got my Harmony 650 for $40 refurbished fro TD

Hello everyone!! I was wondering if anyone can give me information regarding TEFL? I am currently in college going for a bachelors in computer science and plan on getting TEFL certified near the end. My goal is to teach English in Japan and would like information regarding what the top chains are and also any experience from someone who taught English in Japan.
I just love the culture in Japan and am in the processes of taking the four levels of Japanese offered at my institution. From those who taught in Japan or other counties, do you feel teaching at a large chain school is better or worse than a small chain school? From what I could gather, large chain schools offer more money and have fixed coursework so you do not need to make your own lesson plans and just follow the script they want you to teach. Only problem is that they have such a large application base that they can easily replace you with someone else.
Thanks in advance, Richard Gomez


text: Yes, and as he begins to crawl out of the hole from the last few year's of stumped finger-nails, this might be the best direction...let me quote: Detroit Pistons Draft Targets: Trey Burke, PG-Michigan | Bleacher Report Scott Spence 1826668 posted about 11 hours ago 1361889913 12399646 Scott Contributor I 1 comment collapsed I like Burke but I would rather grab Otto Porter. Small forward is a very important position in the east with King James down in Miami so we need a more physical SF than Singler. In free agency I would offer a big deal to Monta Ellis (5 yrs, 75 million) and also sign Jarrett Jack (4 yrs, 24 million) and Ryan Hollins (3 yrs, 12 million). You let Stuckey's team option go and all your unrestricted Free Agents as well 2013-14 Pistons Knight/Jack M. Ellis/Singler Porter/Jerekbo Monroe/Villanueva Drummond/Hollins/Kratsov Great speed and playmaking ability from the backcourt and the frontcourt has some great length. Bench players who can all serve their defined role. This would be a playoff team barring any catastrophic injuries.

Teaching Philosophy: There isn't one secret key that's going to unlock all the doors you've felt between you and your writing work. Rather, there are lots of little keys, and many doors we go through as we progress, and the specific story we're working on can present new doors, require new keys. My goal is to meet a student where he or she is and facilitate progress. We're all traveling on this road; I see my job as one of describing the terrain and sharing the routes that have worked for me, and finding the ones that might work best for you.In addition to matters of craft, I'm very interested in the big picture of the writing life. How do we create sustainable habits, understand the importance of rest and refilling the well, and manage ourselves and our creativity when there are so many forces that would thwart us, from within and without? Why do this at all in a world glutted with "content"? How can the light of self-knowledge cut depth and shadow into our work? How does our worldview affect our writing? Flannery O'Connor wrote, "Your beliefs will be the light by which you see, but they will not be what you see and they will not be a substitute for seeing." So, how do we see? These questions inform my teaching and my own writing life, and I encourage all students of writing to ask them.There will always be a gap between your initial spark of vision and the execution of that vision. There still always is for me, though the gap gets smaller as I hone my own craft. My role as a teacher is to help you know and understand your vision, and do what I can to guide you in closing that gap, moving ever closer to the creation of the "vivid, continuous dream" that we work to create with our stories.Awards: Work has appeared on annual best books lists of the American Library Association, Kirkus, Publisher's Weekly, School Library Journal, the Guardian, the International Reading Association, the New York Public Library and Los Angeles Public Library, and have been translated into many languages.Website:www.sarazarr.com

Heya guys and gals !
I needed a quick break from the monotony of my Jango projects. I've been flipping back and forth between Jango and Boba projects anyway, but figured I'd post a little something for the Boba fans for a change, since you're the "backbone of TDH
I took a couple of days and revisited my chest armor last weekend, and before I head out for the holiday I figured I'd take a minute or two to post it up.
The armor has been refined, dent placement, ect. This is true "MoM" style this time around, as many of you know, my first design was based on a combination of AoSW and MoM.
The molds will be duplicated for "ESB" style next week, with the appropriate dent placement mods to reflect this. 2 stlyes will be available, for a change Again, this is a "Preview". This is what "will be" available when I get into the "mode"
As you can see, my playing "Catch-Up" for a year out of commission is coming along. Jango helmet, upcoming Jango Gauntlets, Boba Gauntlets, Armor, ect. It's rough, doing all of this at once practically. So to all those patient members who are still awaiting a response from me, thank you for hangin in there. You can see I'm not dilly dallying So consider this an official "Fettpride Update" while we're at it. It saves me from having to clutter the forum with an unnecessary thread.
Onto the pics !! I hope it meets all your expectations ...
First .. The "OLD"
Now, the "NEW"
A few shots comparing old and new ...
And a couple of details ...
First and foremost, compound curves. It's always been there. With the alterations that have been made, it has allowed for more of a concave/
compound curve update, however, you absolutely cannot get too crazy with this, because it alters the frontal/outward appearance (or impression) of the basic shapes that we've all become obsessed with. It's a balancing act
The signature holes on the abdomen plate are now as they should be. Thanks to Brak's Buddy for prodding me to do this Before they were
vacuum formed "impressions" The real holes are drilled clean through, and backed with a piece of styrene to give it a very crisp definition. "As you wish"
I can post more pics later if desired. These were snapped pretty quick. You might note that the shapes of the armor can change drastically from camera angle to camera angle Ya can't make armor from a 2D printout, that's for sure
A couple of final notes. I didn't show it in the pics, but the chest lights cutout is molded into the chest plate this time around. At least an ultra sharp impression of it. An "EXACT" guidline for cutting it out from behind the plate. I trimmed it out because I was in a hurry, and forgot to snap it before I did.
The chest light cutouts are made to the exact "Brak's Buddy" mesurements. So they'll fit your Shackman and Tk-409 lights. I cannot vouch for other lights, but it's time that we all stick with a standard measurment. It's easier for the light makers to make a standard size set of lights, rather tham 10 dffernet armor makers with different sized slots
A gentle reminder that the "REAL" movie armor is Vaccum Formed. Not fiberglass, or resin. Vacuum formed is what is pictured. These will be available in glass as well, but they will look just like what is pictured above. Too crisp, is unrealistic. It has to appear that hot plastic was formed over a mold to feel authentic. So, molds will be made of an ultra sharp vacuum formed set to achieve this. Both MoM, as well as "ESB" versions.
K, onto finsihing up the Jango Molds, and Updated Boba Gauntlets
Thanks again for all your patience in my delayed PM responses. Have an AWESOME 4th of July !!!

Hello everyone!
I recently bumped into TEFL after trying to find a way to volunteer. It's a curious thing to be able to find paid work easier than it is to volunteer your work for free in another country.
I'm taking a break out of college to figure out just what it is I want to do with myself. One idea I've been thinking about pretty hard recently is to sign up for a CELTA course in Denver, CO this summer, and, after that, to try to get a position teaching in a Spanish speaking country (I know this language the best). I'm not sure how I'll take to this kind of work, but if I like it I could come back and finish my degree with a major maybe in Linguistics. Once I have a degree, Peacecorps will take me, and hopefully I'll be able to pick up a new language quicker than Spanish is taking me now. I really love the idea of being able to spend every other year in a different country.
What I'm posting for is to get my thoughts together, and hopefully for someone to give me a reality check. I don't know very much on this subject, and might be too impulsive for my own good.
How does it sound my new friends? Possible? a bad idea? or maybe is there a better way to go about this?

With the opening of Aion, Frogster support has quietly but steadily been withdrawing support from Runes of Magic, while of course denying it. As yet there have been no in-game promotions, although the primary contact with management in game are constant warnings about illicit transactions. ("We'll ban you from the game if..." phrased in the construction "Players who...")
A review of threads above shows the inequitable banning. One incorrect thing is that only some of the accounts were reactivated, and one in my personal experience was unlikely to be illegitimate. I happen to be a guild "leader", and have been nearly since the start of open beta.
During the last two weeks there has been extended downtime, with no apology, only a "thank you for your consideration". The improvements have yet to work at first try; every expansion has resulted in considerable downtime. The staff is smilingly inept and eager to ban, nearly as eager as they are to make money. They actually should close the game or better turn it over to someone with the staff and intelligence to support it.
I was in data processing for thirty years. While this hardly supports extended graphic architecture, the pretense of knowledgability is inexcusable. They don't know what they're doing.
There was that huge loss of guild resources. There has been another smaller one, and it also affected newly constructed toons, along with transports of items through the mail (and my own guild contributions, which was the reason I am sure of the problem). However, Frogster demands "proof" of any such occurrence. Unfortunately, I'm rather committed to the game (52/53 Rogue/Mage) although I am in fact trying out other MMORPG's.

Again, I wanted to catch up and post stuff that I've worked on for the past year.
So here's what I worked on back in late November of 08, for those who don't frequent the RPF.
I've been wanting an Iron Man helmet since I saw the movie and have been in awe with all of the awesome builds by many talented members .
I really wanted to buy one of Fettster's helmets, but my wife thought this project would be a good way for me to practice my sculpting and also save a bit of money (since she knew I wanted more than one helmet to do variants).
After sculpting it too large at first and wanting to quit, I chopped down the styrofoam armature I made and started over again.
I did this sculpt oldschool only using front, side and back reference photos, Roma plastilina clay, sculpting tools and waxpaper to copy one side to the other.
So after a few weeks, here's what it looked like:
I know it's not perfect, but I'm very happy with how it turned out.
I still have some tweaking to do, maybe making the eyes larger and sharpening the circle around the earpieces, but it's pretty much done.
Here's the pic of the new profile and top of the helmet:
Thanks for looking!

Obedience, which is one of the clearest indications of our loyalty to Allah is a very important part of worship commanded in many verses of the Qur'an. According to the verses, this worship is the key to success for earning the mercy and compassion which comes from Allah, for the attainment of Paradise and for achieving success against deniers. It should not be forgotten that when the way of faith, which is based on obeying the commandments of Allah and obtaining His good pleasure and mercy and Paradise is abandoned, the way of rebellion against our Lord is chosen.This rebellion consists of making one's selfish desires a deity and will result in great loss in this World and eternal torment in Hell in the Hereafter.
To be able to say "We hear and we obey" is a source of honor.
Such as the Qur'an says, for a believer to be able to say "we hear and we obey" is a source of the greatest joy in this World for a believer. Obedience to Allah Who created him, and Who directs him on the straightest path and promises him the attainment Paradise is the source of the greatest peace of mind, happiness and glory for the believer. Obedience is the source of many blessings, as stated in this verse from the Qur'an;
"The messenger believes in what has been revealed to him from his Lord, and (so do) the believers; they all believe in Allah and His angels and His books and His messengers; We make no difference between any of His messengers; and they say: We hear and obey, our Lord! Thy forgiveness (do we crave), and to Thee is the eventual course." (Surat al-Baqara, 285)
Believers maintain their obedience in every situation
Obedience to petty ideas or trifiling regualtions can be shown by unbelievers time to time. However unconditional obedience, despite the difficulty and stress sometimes involved, is a unique feature of the believers. The story of Talut in the Qur'an is an important example of the sincere obedience of the believers;
"So when Talut departed with the forces, he said: Surely Allah will try you with a river; whoever then drinks from it, he is not of me, and whoever does not taste of it, he is surely of me, except he who takes with his hand as much of it as fills the hand; but with the exception of a few of them they drank from it. So when he had crossed it, he and those who believed with him, they said: We have today no power against Talut and his forces. Those who were sure that they would meet their Lord said: How often has a small party vanquished a numerous host by Allah's permission, and Allah is with the patient." (Surat al-Baqara, 249)
As stated in the above verse, the ones who did not obey the order of Talut remained weak.The believers who obeyed Talut without compromising their moral obligations gained power from Allah and became victorious even though their numbers remained small by the Will of Allah.
Obedience takes people to Eternal Salvation.
Obedience is a clear indication of the persons belief in Allah and his acceptance of being His devoted servant. Obedience is the value which will lead a person to Eternal Salvation and a Glorious Eternal Life.
"These are Allah's limits, and whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger, He will cause him to enter gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide in them; and this is the great achievement." (Surat an-Nisa, 13)
Ego hinders Obedience.
Ego (Pride) is one of the primary characteristics of satan, and satan was pushed out from Allah's presence because of his ego and disobedience. The person who shares this attribute of satan has his mind clouded, his conscience closed and strays away from the straight path of Allah. By behaving in this way, it becomes impossible for him to think rationally and thus comprehend the infinite power of Allah and understand his own smallness and weakness before Him; as a result, the feelings of fear, awe and respect for Allah can not be increased. This situation results in a person's choosing the false path of rebellion instead of the true path of religious morals.
"And when We made a covenant with you and raised the mountain over you: Take hold of what We have given you with firmness and be obedient. They said: We hear and disobey..." (Surat al Baqara, 93)
Disobedience causes loss of Power.
The success of the believers against the disbelievers in all their efforts depends on their obedience to Allah, the sole Owner of Authority. If the believers obey this verse, "O you who believe! Obey Allah and obey the Messenger and those in authority from among you..." (Surat an- Nisa,59) surely Allah will support the believers and give them every success. However the opposite is also true. If the believers do not obey the commandments of our Lord, they lose their power against the deniers; the story of Talut which has been given as an example is the clearest sample of it.
The ones who disobey face bitter punishment.
Obedience is the key to Eternal Salvation. Hell is the place of the person who does not obey and goes on a different way than the morality of the True Religion and the sure path of our Lord, Almighty Allah;
"And whoever acts hostilely to the Messenger after that guidance has become manifest to him, and follows other than the way of the believers, We will turn him to that to which he has (himself) turned and make him enter Hell; and it is an evil abode." (Surat an-Nisa,115)

Last week, the Miami Herald's Armando Salguero said that the competition between Lamar Miller and Daniel Thomas to be the Dolphins' starting running back was "wide open." It must be closed now, because Salguero wrote Monday, "Lamar Miller is your starting running back." His verdict comes after Saturday's preseason game in which Miller ran for 35 yards on eight carries. Thomas gained a grand total of three yards on seven carries.
Fantasy Analysis:
Of course, Dolphins head coach Joe Philbin complimented both players on their performance in Saturday's game, but that is empty coach speak at its worst. This has no business being a real competition, and Miller should be Miami's lead back by a wide margin. Miller's current ADP has him as an early fifth-round pick. That is a crazy steal right there.

text: Well if you are counting those 2 you can add the call that was made with 5.2 seconds left in the game where the shot by Fisher hit the rim before bouncing out of bounds off a Spur so the clock should have reset instead giving the Lakers on 2 seconds to shoot. Can't really blame it on the officials if none of the three were paying attention to angle of the way the ball bounced. Still why would you assign Crawford to a Spurs game? What's next assign> Donahy to the finals?

|Topic Review (Newest First)
HS21 must be different now. It lays like glass pretty effortlessly but man..a week later it's hard as a rock.
Not so for the 3.8. I'd put it up against anyone else's single stage. I've used my fair share of it.. just did 2 allovers with it last year. Never used the 200, but was told the same from my rep..just a cheaper version...price and quality.
If they changed the forumla for the hs21...man they sure did screw up if it was anything like your universal, barry.
I have not had my hands on any U-Tech since Sikkens bought U-tech in 2000 but if the guy is suggesting the 3.8 SS, back then is was better then anything out there at the time.
An excellent polyurethane that buffed good for about two weeks and it would lay like glass. Don't know if its the same now or not.
The 2100 was designed in 1998 as a special project a one coat High solids, polyurethane clear to go with the one coat base also a special project for a particular customer, if its hard as a rock now, then its not the same product, so that leaves me questioning the 3.8. The 2100 and the 3.8 was very similar to the SPI Universal clear. (Just my opinion, of course)
The 200 SS was the cheaper SS in Utech and I was never a fan of that product, if they still have it in Sikkens, I don't know and it may be totally different now.
U-tech isn't new. It is akzo's 3rd line and is a true polyester base for their lower line. Knocks the socks off all the other major's lower lines that are really acrylics and enamels.
I wouldn't suggest their HS21 clearcoat if there is some cutting and buffing going on. Stuff is hard as a rock, unless it is cut and buffed very next day. Same as their 4.0 clear. MS clear seems to be the only one that i've used that cut and buffs decent.
Its' a fleet line...so all their clears are going to be significantly harder and tougher to the top lines.
I have not used this, but have used imron.
It did not work out as an automotive paint because it is too rubbery. It is made that way because the aluminum skin of an airplane expands and contracts a lot!!! They also will need to go from 100+ degrees on the ground, to "minus something" a few minutes later at high altitude.
Black paintjobs are all about the gloss! They typically need more gloss than other colors or it will look very bad. That is why quality black paint if so pricey. The need to achieve a great finish!
When I tried to buff the Imron, it was like buffing a tire. You could make it a little shiny... but not as shiny as cars usually are... or as shiney as it was before buffing. You would have to be able to shoot it nearly perfect... and hope you never had to fix any damage.
If this new paint is formulated that way, I would be very hesitant to use it. You may end up paying for two paint jobs. Why take the chance?
Think about this... If it was a better product than today's auto paints... somebody would already be selling it on the automotive market.

U-Tech Paint
The guy who I talked to about painting my 37 Dodge coupe suggested using U-Tech paint. He told me its a paint that is being used instead of Imron. He said that U-Tech would be good against possible stone chips on the front fenders. The color that I would like to have is black cherry.
I would like some feed back from anyone who has painted their car with this paint, both pros and cons

A behind the scenes look at some of the people who have moved to Rochester this summer for the PGA.
It takes an army of people to make the PGA Championship happen. Countless hours of work and planning are needed, and interns play an important role.
"I've been doing these box decals for a while this week, and I also do some of the cart inventory and then distrubute them to all the vendors around here," said Kate Kinderwater from Lancaster, PA.
"They get to see a major championship come together, and they are involved in making that happen, so it looks good on their resume. I think they have a good time doing it as well and we love having them around," said Ryan Cannon, PGA Championship Director.
"I'm getting college credit for this doing an internship, so it's good and it does look good on a resume," said Jim Gibson from Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Working the PGA Championship is a dream come true.
"I've always had an interest in golf and I wanted to see the behind the scenes process, how everything goes. I've been to a bunch of tournaments growing up so I figured this would be a perfect fit," said Kinderwater.
This year's PGA Championship is a first for some interns, but others are pros.
Jim Gibson travels with the PGA throughout the summer. He made his way to Rochester after finishing his first internship at the U.S. Open in Marion.
"It's pretty fun putting big events together, having a bunch of people, thousands of people come and enjoy the event," said Gibson.
The crew of 17 paid interns from all over the country spend most of the summer, and even fall, with the PGA.
"Help us put all those little details together that really help transform this event from just any other event into a major championship," said Cannon.
The crews work five days a week from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m.
Next week, as the championship draws closer, they will be working even longer hours.

By Nick Ames in Kiev
Theo Walcott believes his performance against Sweden was among his very best for England - and he wants to scale those heights again tonight.
The Arsenal forward turned Friday's game on its head with a fine goal and an assist for Danny Welbeck and he attributes his impact to good pre-match preparation.
Asked whether England's 3-2 saw his best contribution on the international stage, Walcott said: "I'd say there have been some good performances, but coming off the bench you need to be ready - you need to be sharp in a tournament situation on the big stage.
"It's demanding on you as well, not just getting into shape straightaway. I'd say [my performance] was up there, definitely."
England will be looking for more of the same when they face host nation Ukraine, knowing that a draw would see them through to the last eight. Walcott is wary of the threat Oleg Blokhin's side will pose but he hopes that England can combine the most promising aspects of their first two games.
"It's against the hosts so it's always going to be a tough game, but we'll go out there trying to win," he said.
"Everybody was saying that our defending against the French was brilliant but the attacking wasn't great, and people will be saying the defence wasn't great against Sweden but I'd say we were a bit unlucky.
"Hopefully the best bits will all come together against Ukraine - and we're going to have to be at our best to beat them because they're going to be a tough cookie, trust me."

The assault on the US consulate in Insanbul's Istinye suburb still has many mysterious elements as police and security forces attempt to figure out who was behind the attack and what was the object. Interior Minister Besir Atalay commented: "What we need to do now is to define the connection there people had… the general view on the assault is that it is a suicide attack." One curious element is that one of the attackers, Raif Topcil's father was involved in a 1996 operation against the Hezbollah which is a terrorist organization. There is still speculation the attack is somehow linked to al-Qaeda.
There are still some who believe the entire operation may be linked to recent reports concerning a planned coup against the Turkish government that was being organized by retired generals as well as some journalists who wanted to overthrow the Muslim government led by Prime Minister Erdogan. Papers seized in police raids indicate part of the plan was to create chaos in order to allow members of the military to claim they had to step in to restore law and order.

Concession speech
We ran hard, and we ran long. We ran a campaign of which everyone should be proud. I salute my opponent on his well-deserved victory, and . . . .
Pfffffft. Forget all that nonsense. The FOSS Force Best Personal FOSS or Linux Blog Contest is over for 2013, and Alien Pastures has won. Good call, voters, and congratulations Eric Hameleers. Honestly, it was an honor to make the finals — twice in my case, with this blog and Larry the CrunchBang Guy — and we'll see if either (or both) of us can do better in 2014.
What's more important is I had a blast "campaigning" to try to win the poll. I'm sorry if some of you were put off by my asking for you to vote for me, but it was a lot of fun, and it was a pleasure introducing folks to FOSS Force, if they weren't already aware of it.
Yet what's most important, when all is said and done, is that FOSS Force did all of us on the poll, starting from the beginning and through two rounds to the finals, a monumental favor in giving us a lot more exposure than we would normally get.
So thanks for that, FOSS Force. Also, thanks for the FOSS news coverage and commentary you provide on your site.
Like the rest of the group on the ballot, I don't get paid to do this. This commentary is part of my personal commitment to promoting both Free/Open Source Software in general, as I do in this blog, and promoting my distro of choice in the Larry the CrunchBang Guy blog. Sure, I'd like to be able to make a living writing this type of commentary for an on-line publication, but I don't (actually, for those of you who don't already know. I'm a "print guy" — a wire news editor at the Santa Cruz Sentinel newspaper in Santa Cruz, California).
None of us you voted for on this poll earn their keep writing about FOSS. Yet it doesn't make our blogs any less important than those who do. My hope, as I am sure is one I share with the rest of the candidates, is that you were able to get a new perspective and, heck, find a new source or two (or three) of news and commentary going forward.

A book about collective resilience, "We Shall Not Be Moved" tells the stories of five New Orleans neighborhoods—Broadmoor, Hollygrove, Lakeview, the Lower Ninth Ward, and Village de l'Est—as residents rebuild in the years after the levee failures. In this presentation, Harvard author Tom Wooten will focus on the potential and limits of community-based recovery efforts. He will also highlight the role that Kennedy School students and faculty played to support Broadmoor's recovery effort. Refreshments served.

Uhh...since when does the ATF have any jurisdiction over magazines, and since when do they enforce local gun laws? The ATF wouldn't give a crap if I took one of my ARs into California, since I didn't violate any federal laws.

I'm not sure what you mean by that. If you mean "citizen's arrest", it does, but it usually only applies to felonies, and I believe DC's mag ban is a misdemeanor. Interesting sidebar, in Ohio the police and private citizens derive their arrest powers from the same clause in the state code and constitution. The only thing different about the police is that they have the power to arrest for minor crimes (misdemeanors) as well. All felony arrests in Ohio are, essentially, citizen's arrests.MikeSent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2
Interesting idea. I've never heard of that in the US.Which is a pity, in some ways, because you could have a lot of fun with elites who believe that the rules are only for the little people.MikeSent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2
I accept all that. But arrest the guy, book him, charge him, and let the network waste a bunch of money defending him. Make a big fluffing deal about it. Even when he walks, it still shows that violating the law isn't just for the 99%.
The problem you will run into in prosecuting him is the magazine itself, or rather, the fact that it was not seized. Since it was not seized it cannot be tested by a crime lab to determine that it was a functional magazine with a capacity of greater than *the legal limit in DC*. Since that cannot be tested, it cannot be proven. So, unless he then takes the stand and say "yep, it sure was" or he stipulates to that fact, he will likely walk.Not, mind you, that I really want him to walk. Not, midn you, that I doubt for a second that it was a real 30 rounder. Not, mind you, that I would not giggle like a little girl if he got arrested on set, on the air, for doing on network TV what others are denied the right to do. I'm just laying out the realities of the case.
But he stated on the air it was a "high capacity" magazine, didn't he? And it LOOKS like one.Lots of people have been prosecuted and convicted on circumstantial evidence.
So if I commit the "crime" of brandishing with a fake gun, and it is captured on video, all I have to do is destroy the fake gun and when I go to court testify it wasn't real and I get off? Sweet.

text: Are heating the honey in any way? heat will make the flow start and stop clearer. I have a honey gate story to share. One winter I brought a full pail and gate to the house. Sales are usually slow this time of year so I fill jars as needed. I heated the pail with the waterbed heater and got a couple of jars ready to fill. I filled the first one, shut the valve and tightened the thumb screw to shut off the flow. SNAP!!! The plastic screw broke. I quickly squeezed the valve shut with my hand. Now the real problem. I was home alone with nothing to pour the rest of this 60 # bucket into. I ended up sitting there for about 1/2 until my wife came home and got me another bucket. After that day I replaced all the plastic screws with the metal ones

I meant to post this thread some time back, but forgot. A discussion with a few friends reminded me.
My example/cool story bro: I had a reservation for a luxury car in San Fran a couple months back. I went to go pick the car up, and behold, a shiny new 2012 Camaro SS is parked out front. I had seen them available online, but the price was a good $50 higher per day. I asked the rental worker how much it would go for...same price? He checked my reservation and said sure, same price.
I'm excited as hell now. I had just been talking to my dad about wanting an American V8 at some point in my life...this is perfect! Automatic, obviously, so I knew that brought a bit less horsepower. 400hp total. Still pumped!
The car had around 3500 miles on it, and was nicely optioned - HID's, backup cam, HUD, etc.
After driving it around for 2 days, my impressions are the following:
-Very well put together, with nice materials throughout the cabin.
-Interior didn't seem as claustrophobic as reviews would have you believe. It's big inside.
-Blind spots are terrible when driving, but the backup cam for parking, etc was great.
-Handled well, and for the most part did not feel as large as the car really is.
-Paddle shifters on the auto worked well and were pretty quick. Downshifts got a nice rev match blip.
-I averaged 14.7mpg in mixed driving.
My biggest letdown:
-The lack of a sense of speed/acceleration.
You could tell the car was moving out of it's own way quickly...but it just lacked the feel. It was really disappointing and kind of killed the car for me.
Rule #1

Took my Taurus 24/7 OSS 9mm to the range Saturday. This gun is SWEET! Switch back and forth from 2-handed to 1-handed shooting while I was there. So please understand that the groupings aren't as tight as the could be. There are some flyers on here that were shot with my snub nose .38. I just pasted over the holes and reused the target. OH, AND THE SHOULDERS ARE MISLABELED. They should be switched up.
This one is the little silouette in the top left side, shot with a customized Glock 34 that the guy next to me let me shoot.

Posted by David Cooperstein on September 13, 2011
One of our ace researchers on the CMO and marketing leadership team, Mike Glantz, pulled together this blog post to follow up on a report we collaborated on a few months back, "TV's Currency Conversion" (client access required), which discussed the merging of Nielsen data and set-top box and other census-level data. Although television is the overall dominant advertising medium in US, marketers are seeing audience fragmentation across the spectrum of broadcast and cable networks. In the digital world, online video viewership continues to grow and enables marketers to target niche audiences with relative precision, compared with TV. However, marketers have been hesitant to see online video and TV as two sides of the same coin because there has not been a common measurement to link the two media, and digital video is perceived to lack the massive reach that TV currently enjoys.

AMES, Iowa – Two cross country races and a fun run/walk will provide family-friendly competition in a scenic location, with unique distance options and vertical challenges. The events are part of the first Get Vertical 4-H Adventure Race on Saturday, Oct. 13, at the Iowa 4-H Camping Center near Madrid, Iowa.
"The Get Vertical 4-H Adventure Race is being presented through a generous donation from the Iowa Soybean Association," said John Roosa, manager of the Iowa 4-H Center.
Mark Jackson, president of the Iowa Soybean Association, said, "The Iowa Soybean Association is excited about the opportunity to work with 4-H and connect with the nearly 107,000 Iowa youth that participate. The Get Vertical Adventure Race is a unique event to engage with 4-H members and other participants about the versatility of soy and health benefits of soyfoods, while raising money for the camp scholarship fund. For me, personally, 4-H was a defining force in my youth, which has carried forward into my adult career."
The Iowa 4-H Center is located just 25 miles north of Des Moines in Boone County. "For several years, we have wanted to hold a running event here at the 4-H Camp to support our camp scholarship fund," Roosa said. "We are grateful for the support received from the Iowa Soybean Association in making this event possible."
Participants have options to challenge the whole family by selecting from a one-mile fun run/walk or 4K or 12K chip-timed cross-country courses. "We have 1,100 acres, with a wide variety of terrain ranging from prairies to woodlands to steep ravines, which enables us to offer unique running courses for all age ranges," Roosa said.
The 12K race begins at 8:30 a.m. This advanced course includes four big hills, steep grades, three sets of staircases, a swinging bridge and running upstream in Richardson's Creek, twice. To further challenge 12K runners to "get vertical," Roosa said the camp's 50-foot climbing tower will be open Friday afternoon during packet pick-up and again on race day. Medals will be awarded to runners who complete both the 12K race and the 50-foot climb. Entry fees are $40 per person in advance or $50 on race day.
The 4K race begins at 9 a.m. The course follows a trail past the camp pond, around a farm field, into the timber, across a 30-foot long swinging bridge, up one hill and through Hickory Village. Entry fees are $35 per person in advance or $45 on race day.
The final event of the day, the 1-mile family fun run/walk, begins at 9:30 a.m. The course is mostly level terrain and loops around the prairie grass and wetlands area. Entry fees are $10 per youth and $20 per adult. Participation ribbons will be awarded to all youth in the 1-mile event.
"This is truly a family-friendly event," Roosa said. "We have overnight lodging options available throughout the weekend for families, clubs and organizations." The Iowa 4-H Center not only will have the scenic property on display, the center also will showcase some of the summer camp program staff. Race coordinator Traci Haselhuhn said, "The caring adult summer staff will be supervising a fun Camp Care area for kids ages three and older with free activities, while adult family members run the 4K and 12K races."
Post-race festivities include music, door prizes, a recognition ceremony and a pancake buffet provided by the Greek House Chefs. The brunch is free for race participants, volunteers and youth up through age five. Additional meal tickets for ages six and older may be purchased on race day for $5 each.

City looking at solutions for a tough intersection
The ongoing project, at a cost of $2.3 million, is designed to update existing traffic signal equipment that is up to 20 years old and also improve traffic conditions by reducing crashes at nearly 70 city intersections. The project is being funded with $1.84 million in federal money, with a local match of $460,000.On Wednesday, the committee approved a change order for $89,860 associated with the traffic management system project.
Alderman-at-Large Barbara Pressly questioned what the money is specifically being used for, and whether there is any proof that the changes made up to this point are working."It isn't working," maintained Deane, who is optimistic the additional product purchases will help complete the system so that immediate improvements will be noticed by motorists traveling downtown.
"This has been a disaster for us," agreed Alderman Arthur Craffey, Ward 4, adding he continuously hears concerns from residents about the intersection at East Hollis Street and Main Street.Chasse said the committee should approach Mayor Donnalee Lozeau to see if a traffic detail at the busy Library Hill intersection - at the opposite end of Main Street - might be feasible or beneficial.
Although Lozeau was not present for Wednesday's meeting, she addressed similar concerns by the committee this past summer.Lozeau said previously that attempts to fix some of the problems have been attempted on more than one occasion. She is optimistic that the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality project on Nashua's traffic management system, which is being handled by Vanasse Hangen Brustlin Inc. of Bedford, will remedy some of the traffic flow issues.Synchronization of the traffic signals is expected within a year, Lozeau said at the time. While the results may not be perfect, she anticipates that the changes will make positive adjustments that will be noticed by the community.The future Broad Street Parkway is also expected to remedy the downtown traffic flow, Lozeau said earlier.
In addition, a separate initiative is under way to investigate whether the conversion from one-way to two-way streets may alleviate some traffic congestion.Hoping to improve intersection flow, strengthen transit connections and provide better access to local businesses, VHB is also in the process of conducting a separate, $75,000 downtown roadway circulation study in Nashua.The study has been under way since the beginning of the year. The project includes data, analysis and fieldwork to identify potential strategies to improve mobility and intersection traffic flow on and around Main email@example.com
