m@ wrote:OK, so you need to seam-seal the fly - this involves setting the tent up then painting the seams on the fly with a slurry of turps and silicone. TarpTent can do this for you for a price but it's pretty straightforward and easy to do yourself - about a two-hour job. It's also worth painting some patches on the inside of the tent floor as it's quite slippery.
I have no issues doing this myself providing it is straight forward enough to do. Silicone sealer is $4.50 from TT, so not a major cost.
They do recommend you add two extra guylines to the guy points on the pole; if you wanted to do this you'd need two extra pegs and a bit of guyline. Personally I haven't bothered but might at some point
Does this just make it a bit more stable in stronger winds? The 2ft guyline for side pull-outs it only $1 a piece, I assume this is the correct length? Or do I get the 4ft guyline?
TarpTent wrote:Ultralight guyline cord with a highly reflective sheath and a SpectraR 900 core. Standard 2-foot section works for side pullouts. Four-foot section works for Scarp and Hogback arch sleeve pullouts. Six-foot section works for Scarp and Hogback canopy pullouts as well as apex pullouts on all other vertical front pole tents.
Additionally aluminium 6" pegs $2 each or $3.25 for 6.5" Ti pegs. Not much of an extra cost but if it isn't necessary it'd be good to do without the extra gear and weight.
The only other thing I've bought is some Tyvek to use as a groundsheet, you can buy this from TarpTent already cut to size or track down a scrap and cut it yourself. Probably not strictly necessary unless you're camping on very sharp rocks or thorny bushes etc, but also helps to keep the tent clean.
Only costs $12 for a piece cut to size, probably worth it just to have on hand depending on the terrain. I assume that I'll mainly be camping on grass, beach/river sand and leafy forest floor.

News Release: Associated Press News
By PAUL ELIAS
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- In its quest to find a suspected domestic terrorist on the lam for a decade, the FBI has begun placing his image on billboards across the country.
The FBI announced Friday that images of Daniel Andreas San Diego will appear on electronic billboards from California to Massachusetts and along the border with Canada. San Diego's image even appeared above Times Square on Friday, the FBI said.
FBI spokesman Peter Lee says billboard company Clear Channel donates its electronic billboards occasionally to help investigators track down fugitives. San Diego's image will appear on dozens of billboards throughout the country for a week.
San Diego is an animal rights activist charged with detonating pipe bombs in 2003 that damaged two San Francisco Bay Area companies associated with animal experimentations.

Any particular reason why April 5th isnt on there? Is that Easter?
Though I'm somewhat curious as to how March Madness will affect all this.
We can take a brief vacation from Amazing RAce spoiling, but please udnerstand that we have 5 legs (or 4 if you believe it will be only 11 legs) of AR15 left to find. We have the first 4 legs up through Romania in hand and we have the Phuket and Guilin legs. We do not know the following:the 2 or 3 legs after Romania and before Phuketthe leg between Phuket and Guilinthe final leg Finish cityFor the leg between Phuket and Guilin, there is a weak data point for Shanghai. For the final city we believe it's in Hawaii although we don't know which island yet. For the legs between Romania and Phuket we know nothing other than a sighting of Phil changing planes in Delhi airport. As a Christmas present to ourselves, let's see what we can do to fill in the blanks.
Yay!! More dirt!! Thought the well had run dry on info from here in Romania, but just got this email from a friend here in Brasov:"So I sat next to a guy at the wedding yesterday who is a cop in brasov and was assigned as a driver to some of the supporting crew for the amazing race when it came through. from bucharest they had to take the train to brasov, and they went to the black church where they found out their road block. i don't remember what the first one was but the second was something to do with a gypsy village. he didn't know what else they did in brasov but from brasov they went to bran and he said he didn't think they went to Bran Castle but they did have their pit stop. in all he said they spent about 3 days in romania and from here they went to russia."

Natalie calls Viki from the loft, who prays Todd is okay. Outside her door, David Vickers the dog sniffs at a copy of The Sun. She rushes away when Natalie appears for the paper. Viki alerts Natalie to the byline on the article about Scarface. Jack wrote it. Natalie heads back inside and the dog follows unseen. Natalie and Viki talk about their relationships with Jessica and Tina then hang up. When Natalie heads to the shower, David Vickers approaches Liam's playpen. They introduce themselves. "I have news," David Vickers says. "And it's not good." It's about Liam's parents. "What?" Liam asks. "Am I adopted?" The dog tells Liam his dad isn't Brody Lovett. It's some guy named John McBain. Liam thinks David Vickers is full of it. They exchange baby/dog insults. The dog promises to bring back proof then leaves.
I Have News And It's Not Good.
David Vickers meets Liam, Todd and Blair reminisce, and Ford questions Jessica's motives...
At his apartment, Ford wonders where Jessica got the paternity results. She explains how she found them in Tina's dog's carrier. She almost told Brody. Ford wonders why she didn't. This would blow Brody and Natalie out of the water. Ford wouldn't blame her for wanting to hurt them. Jessica doesn't want to hurt Brody. Ford thinks maybe Jessica doesn't want Natalie to be happy with John. Ford would show John the test, but says what Jessica does is up to her.
Over at Llanfair, Clint happily interrupts Tina and Cord from kissing. Tina makes excuses then rushes off to find her dog. Clint begs Cord to tell him he's not sleeping with Tina. Cord admits he's never been able to let go of Tina. Clint urges him to try and reminds Cord of Tina's deception. Cord brings up his bond with Tina and compares it to Clint's connection to Viki. Clint doesn't like the comparison, but Cord pushes forward. Would Clint like to reconnect with Viki? Clint denies it and warns Cord not to go there with Tina.
Tina enters Viki's office at The Banner, wanting her to help find her dog. David Vickers is missed and has a huge Twitter following! Viki can't believe Tina would think she'd help her. Tina throws out the sister card and wonders why Viki holds Tina to different standards than Victor and Todd. Viki's not sure. Tina claims she didn't come home for Victor's money. She needed Viki and thought Viki needed her too. Tina shares how she and Cord nearly kissed. She has faith that something would've happened had Clint not interrupted. Tina wants to be her best, and Cord brings that out in her. She pleads with Viki to let her make things right between them too. If Viki gives her one more chance, Tina promises to never disappoint their family again. Viki agrees and they hug. However, Viki refuses to put David Vickers the dog on the front page of The Banner because she's not missing. Viki looks toward the door, as David Vickers barks. Tina scoops her up and places the dog in her carrier. David Vickers looks around inside and doesn't see Liam's paternity results.
Jack throws a copy of The Sun at Starr through her cell. They argue over Todd. Starr snaps, grabs Jack through the bars and reminds him that their father took a bullet for them. He thinks she's trying to trick him, like James did. If Todd dies, Starr will blame Jack. Jack stills blames Todd for Victor's death and slips about how everything went down, just like what was said in Shaun's voicemail. Starr realizes Jack overheard what Shaun told her. That's why he ran to the police with his supposed eyewitness account. "So what if I did," Jack admits. "It's not like you can prove it."
At the cabin, Blair slaps Todd, pleading with him to wake up. "Ouch," Todd whispers. "What the hell's the matter with you?" They begin reminiscing over the first time they met. Blair wonders what else Todd remembers. "Every little bit," he replies, touching a finger to her face. They remember betting each other who was the biggest loser back then. Blair notes, in that moment, she no longer felt alone in the world. They recall their first kiss, Todd's proposal, and their first wedding. Todd admits he only married her because he thought Blair was pregnant. Tina told him she was after his money. "Tina…" Blair seethes. They think of Starr and how much Todd wanted for her. Blair assures Todd Starr will surpass all of his dreams. Talk turns to Jack and how Todd gave him away, thinking Jack was Max's. "That was the worst thing I ever did to you," Todd says. Blair nods in tears. They think of their golden wedding at The Palace, the beginning of their fairytale love story. Todd doesn't think it's over. They lean in to kiss.
Llanview spoilers for the next One Life to Live:
Rex begs Delphinia to send him back in time.
There is a shocking revelation surrounding the person in the special care facility.
Tea walks in on Todd and Blair.

Difference between revisions of "Talk:Main page/test"
Latest revision as of 06:19, 22 August 2010
OK, some explanations:
DhDh 12:28, 25 Nov 2003 (PST)
No problem with feature (I looked it up in a dictionary :-) I didn't like "Hot topics" because I thought it wasn't "specific" enough, but I don't really like "Specific topics" either. "Travel topics" is better -- or what about "Travel themes"? Oh, and I was thinking about renaming "News": what do you think about "Logbook"? DhDh 14:02, 25 Nov 2003 (PST)
I think we should we set a date & time to move this page to the actual Main Page?. What do you think about Friday 6 December 2003 at 8PM UTC -- or is that too soon? DhDh 11:38, 27 Nov 2003 (PST)
AFAIC the answer is: no, not really. The problem is, I don't have enough imagination right now to make it different :-) I'll have a look at other websites (taking the TourBus) to get more ideas. And perhaps 6 December is too soon. DhDh 13:59, 27 Nov 2003 (PST)
OK, I'll play with them a bit more to see what I can come up with. Maybe I'll enter a few proposals, so we have a choice. BTW, do you agree with 6 December or not? DhDh 22:36, 27 Nov 2003 (PST)
Done!!! DhDh 12:37, 28 Nov 2003 (PST)
Well, I experimented a bit to get to the format Evan proposed. The idea was to place the continents close to their actual place on a standard map (North America in the upper left corner, ..., Australasia in the lower right corner). That resulted in 3 columns. But this created a problem for the islands and the list of countries: these are the only 2 items left and it creates too much empty space. Anyone has an idea how to resolve that?
I'd like to continue in more or less the same style, but there might be other problems. I don't think there will be any new continents over the next few years :-) -- they're pretty stable. But the other items (phrasebooks, itineraries, travel topics) will probably be expanded: other expeditions will spring up in the future. So, if we want to keep a fixed number of columns, how are we going to resolve that?
Both parts in the "Wikitravel" section will probably be quite stable too. The first part has 6 items, which can also be placed in 3 columns. If we keep the last 3 entries in the logbook, these can be made to fit in 3 columns instead of rows.
Any answers, ideas or other ways to approach the problems? DhDh 14:19, 2 Dec 2003 (PST)
I just had to put the "Guide" table back in -- the section looked so orphaned without it :-( I did like the idea of combining things into "Other Destinations" and "Travel Topics" (I'm not sure if it should be themes or topics). One more question: what do we do if another item springs up besides phrasebooks, etc.? We could go on combining -- or we could just leave it until we get there... DhDh 12:26, 3 Dec 2003 (PST)
Just one other thing: the colours I've kept don't really combine well. I'm not too good with colours, so I had a look at this site. It might help to make our Main Page visually attractive. DhDh 12:42, 3 Dec 2003 (PST)
Just to be clear, for those who saw this page pop up in the Protection log: it was a slip of the mouse, totally an accident. I wasn't trying to shut down discussion about the Main Page, that's for sure! Sorry for the mixup. --Evan 10:08, 3 Dec 2003 (PST)
So, I'd like to roll this out in the next 24 hours or so. Any objections? It's been inactive for a few days, so I think we're kinda settling. --Evan 20:03, 9 Dec 2003 (PST)

I've said it before, and I have no doubt I'll say it again, but there's nothing better than a gorgeous wedding dress, and luckily for us, this past year was full of them. From an Haute Couture Elie Saab masterpiece to a traditional ballgown worthy of royalty (Meghan Markle, take note) to a daring, fashion-forward black velvet beauty, these are the 10 wedding dresses that took our breath away in 2017.
Four Words: Elie Saab Haute Couture
It was love at first sight when we first saw this custom Elie Saab Haute Couture wedding dress. With a 30-foot train and all-over hand beading, this gorgeous gown is truly one-of-a-kind and an absolute masterpiece!
Photography: Greg Finck
Beaded, Boho Beauty
We've never seen beading quite like this Rue de Seine's tone-on-tone embellishment. Fluttery sleeves, an empire waist and a skirt that blows in the wind — this dress is fit for a goddess!
Photography: Lacie Hansen
Royal-Worthy Perfection
There's just something about this dress that makes us think it belongs in a Disney fairytale — or maybe a royal wedding? From the scoop neckline to the full skirt to the delicate beading, this dress is an absolute dream!
Photography: Jemma Keech
High Low, Hello!
A subtle print, a high low skirt, the halter back, and the pockets(!), this dreamy Erin Grey Couture dress has everything a girl could ask for and so much more!
Photography: Allison Kuhn Photography
A Match Made in Fashion Heaven
What do we love about this gorgeous, colorful Zimaya creation? For starters, the way the floral embroidery on the Bride's top carried onto the bottom half of her skirt and the trim of the Groom's ensemble!
Photography: Erika Delgado Photography
Flirty, Fun + Fabulous
This bride is none other than the founder of Flutter Magazine, so it should come as no surprise that her custom Madeleine Fig dress is ah-mazing! Her vision? Something 'bohemian couture' complete with a wishlist of fun features: high-low structure, pockets (a must!), illusion layers, and lace!

Friday the 13th: Part 2 (US - DVD R1)
Gabe Powers returns to Crystal Lake for the early adventures of Jason Vorhees...
Horror movies were not a part of my early childhood. The genre wasn't important to either of my parents, and I was a nervous kid. My introductions to horror all came around 1984-85, when we got cable and a VCR. We didn't actively rent horror movies (mostly Gumby episodes), but it was hard to avoid the provocative posters plastered along the walls of the video store. This particular video store (and we're talking the early days, when we had to drive across town to rent videos) had very little rhyme or reason to their poster layout, and little regard for genres, eras, and colours. There was one exception—some clerk had laid out all the Friday the 13th posters in a row… along the bottom of the checkout counter... right at a five-year-old eye-level.
At the time there were five films in the series. The most eye-catching and bone-chilling poster was for part four, the one with Jason's trademarked hockey mask lying bloodied with a knife through the eye. That was the poster that really freaked me out, but it wasn't long before I realized there were only two posters with the hockey mask on them. What was the deal with the other three? I asked the older kids on the bus, who explained that the hockey mask belonged to Jason, and he didn't get it until the third movie. So I assumed that he wasn't masked in the first two. But then it turned out he wasn't even in the first one. It was his mother? How old was she, cause he's got to be at least thirty, right? He was a little boy in the first one? The silhouette on the Part 2 poster didn't look like a little boy. He was a grown man in that one? What? This series doesn't make any sense.
Of course, I know now that the little boy Jason was just a figment of Alice's imagination, he had to be, if he was still alive he would've been at least 42 years old. And it's hard to live underwater. The real Jason had been quietly sitting in a shit shack in the middle of the forest around Camp Crystal Lake, where he was apparently fine not killing folks, until the day he witnessed his dear mother decapitated by Alice. A few months later he reaps his revenge, kills Alice, and hangs out in the forest another five years ( Part 2 came out in 1981, but seems to take place in 1984 or '85), then starts killing teenagers in the camp with a potato sack on his head. And of course, this too doesn't make any sense.
That's what I think of when I think of Friday the 13th: Part 2—nonsense. The first film isn't Shakespeare, but it isn't insane either. The writers have to be cut quite a bit of slack, considering that they were asked to write Jason into the script in the first place, then basically asked to create a bunch of murder set pieces. The whole hindsight being twenty-twenty thing also hurts the film a bit, as this early version of Jason (which appeared only a year before his follow-up adventure) doesn't share very many traits with the more stereotypical versions of the character. Perhaps if these films hadn't been made as part of a continuity such trivial things would be even less important, though the slightly preferable Nightmare on Elm Street series is just as dimly convoluted.
Director Steve Miner, the only man to direct Jason twice, is I believe a general improvement over Cunningham, who really works best in a production facility. For example: towards the beginning of the film there's a clever camera set up where a duo of doomed teens parks a truck, then crosses the street to use a pay phone. While they use the phone a tow truck appears in the background and tows their car. Miner is also has a few clever edits in him, though these may be purely the work of editor Susan Cunningham, and I'm also fond of his use of flare out at the end of many of the kills. Miner's biggest problems are with his pacing. The character moments play very slowly (which is almost never the fault of the capable actors), and the suspenseful moments lack the best timing.
As a slasher fan though, my only realistic problem with Part 2 is the post-production gore removal at the behest of the MPAA. Legend tells us that the ratings bored got major flack for sending the first Friday through with such minimal cuts, and sort of took out their frustrations on the second movie. Like producer Sean Cunningham says, these movies are magic shows, and the audience wants to see the whole trick. The cuts made for the R-rating here are equivalent to a joke without a punch line. We're given setup after setup, but rarely does the MPAA let us see how it ends. If Friday the 13th was a series of murder mysteries instead we could forego the gore effects and focus on the plots, but these are stalk and slash films, and without the slash you've got a lot of bloodthirsty audiences without an outlet. Slasher movie blue-balls, if you will.
From what my eyes can tell there's no difference between this release and the previous R1 DVD releases, except for perhaps a smidge of lightening. The $500,000 increase between Friday the 13th parts one and two most obviously afforded the purchase of a better cinematographer, and more lighting rigs, creating a façade of studio influence. This transfer is quite grainy in its darker shots, but the day light scenes are surprisingly clean and clear. Detail also depends a bit on lighting, as daytime scenes are crisper than nighttime scenes, though with crispness comes a bit of edge-enhancement. Other artefacts are scarce, though there are some flickers of white print damage throughout the disc.
$500,000 additional also affords your film more music, and a bigger selection of musicians. New composer Harry Manfredini keeps most of Harry Manfredini's best cues, and more or less sticks to his 'no music without the villain' rule, but generally has more frenetic oomph behind his orchestra, which leads to a more impressive Dolby Digital 5.1 revamp. Like the other new Friday the 13th releases, Part 2 is mostly an audio centric experience, so the surround and stereo channels are mostly reserved for the cleaned soundtrack, and a couple canned sound effects, like frogs and crickets. I didn't catch any directional movement out of the on screen actors and objects, but the LFE bump does do quite a bit for the score, as does the stereo separation.
Friday the 13th: Part 2 was likely the most butchered of all the films in the series after battles with the rating board, with the possible exceptions of The New Blood and Jason Takes Manhattan, which very few people really liked anyway. Had Paramount included this deleted footage (which for all I know may be entirely destroyed) this DVD re-release might have been a real reason to celebrate (like last month's release of My Bloody Valentine uncut). As is, the extras exclusive to this new release aren't really worth the re-buy, especially if you're a fan that already owns Peter Bracke's book 'Crystal Lake Memories'.
'Inside Crystal Lake Memories' is the best extra, and it makes one long for more substantial extras taken from Bracke's book. The extra is an eleven minute interview with Bracke, who describes the process of writing his epic ode to the Friday the 13th series, and offers insight to the behind the scenes fun of Part 2. In his recollections Bracke goes out of his way to describes some of the deleted gore. Even more unfortunate than the brevity of the extra is the realization that Bracke only gets a chance to talk about Part 2, and looking at the box art I see he hasn't done anything for the Part 3 disc.
'Friday's Legacy: Horror Conventions' is a behind the scenes look at horror conventions, specifically one called 'Scarefest'. Here we have about seven minutes of footage taken from the convention floor, and culled from interviews with several cast and crew members that worked on the original film. It's followed by 'Jason Forever', which was available as part of the previous Paramount collection release. This is raw footage taken from a 2004 Fangoria convention that brought together four of the eight actors that played Jason. For about thirty minutes the actors talk about their roles, and field questions from the audience.
'Lost Tales From Camp Blood: Part II' is another fan made short film featuring everyone's favourite killer goalie killing a few more people, minus the goalie mask. This one appears to be a direct continuation of the first episode, which accompanied the new release of the first film, picking up with a ringing phone in a bloody room. This time Jason takes out one of a bickering pair of hikers, though he teases her for several minutes first. Everything is completed with a trailer.
Paramount misses yet another opportunity to give fans the Friday the 13th: Part 2 release they've been clamouring for. The print looks pretty good, and the new sound mix is better than expected, but there are no deleted gore shots, and almost no real making-of material. I might've also enjoyed a commentary track with this release. Steve Minor and the screenwriters could run down their many inspirations. Friday the 13th: Part 2 features a lot of (intentional?) homage, to films like Mario Bava's Bay of Blood (the couple spearing), Hitchcock's Psycho (a long shot of Jason gripping a butcher knife in a very Norman Bate-ian fashion), and even David Lynch's The Elephant Man (Jason's pre-hockey mask headgear).

Dec. 4, 1956 is one of the most important dates in history, but it's mostly unfamiliar to the general public. That day saw Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash gather for a seemingly impromptu jam session at the Sun Record Studios in Memphis, Tenn. This was dubbed at the time, by the local newspapers, "The Million Dollar Quartet" and the name stuck for the first supergroup.
Dec. 4, 1956 is one of the most important dates in history, but it's mostly unfamiliar to the general public. That day saw Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, and Johnny Cash gather for a seemingly impromptu jam session at the Sun Record Studios in Memphis, Tenn. This was dubbed at the time, by the local newspapers, "The Million Dollar Quartet" and the name stuck for the first supergroup. In 2006, this story was adapted into a musical by Floyd Mutrux and Colin Escott and ended up on Broadway in 2010. The musical opened Tuesday and continues Thursday at 7:30 p.m., with performances through Sunday, Nov. 25, the show will be at the Peace Center for the Performing Arts in Greenville for the first time. Director Eric Schaeffer, who has been with the show since Chicago in 2008 and on Broadway, says the allure of "Million Dollar Quartet" is how it manages to humanize these four larger-than-life icons.
At the heart of the show is record producer Sam Phillips, played by Vince Nappo. He's been dubbed "the father of rock 'n' roll" and fulfills that role for the four musicians.
According to Schaeffer, the five men are like a family, with "Jerry Lee Lewis as the baby that whines when he doesn't get his way."
Phillips is the catalyst that brought them all together that day, initially having Carl Perkins, with "Blue Suede Shoes" as his major hit at that point, come into the studio to record with unknown Jerry Lee Lewis on piano. As the legend goes, Elvis, who had been on "The Ed Sullivan Show" just four months previously, happened to be in town and showed up with a girlfriend. Johnny Cash's appearance is up for speculation, with some saying he showed up with Carl Perkins and others saying he showed up after Elvis.
The show itself takes the position that Phillips called Cash up after Elvis popped in, but Schaeffer emphasizes that strict historical accuracy is not the point. In fact, the entire 90 minutes chronicling a day encompass events that actually took place over 18 months.
"But everything in the show," says Schaeffer, "actually happened, just not necessarily in that order."
The plot structure involves Philips relating to the audience his discovery of each musician as they enter for the first time, followed by a brief moment between Philips and the musician. During these moments Phillips is in the foreground while the cast freezes in the background. Phillips then asks each musician to play something, and then everyone unfreezes. There are also flashbacks to the lives of each musician interspersed throughout the narrative. The drama comes from Phillips's attempts to re-sign Johnny Cash to a new contract, unaware that Cash has already signed with Columbia Records.
Regardless of minute details, the goal with the show is to capture the essence of each man. That means, however, avoiding caricature. "All of the performers are real musicians," referring to Cody Slaughter as Elvis, Martin Kaye as Jerry Lee Lewis, Robert Britton Lyons as Carl Perkins, and David Elkins as Johnny Cash. "It's funny," Schaeffer says, "but when we first started the show the audience thought they were lip synching with a tape." As it turns out, however, all the music is performed live and on-stage, creating a different kind of musical without an orchestra pit.
That music includes some of the biggest hits of each performer, including "Hound Dog," "Great Balls of Fire," "Blue Suede Shoes," and "I Walk the Line." These are songs that, according to Schaeffer, have "lasted decades because the lyrics and melodies are smart yet simple."
Tickets range between $45 and $75. For more information go to www.peacecenter.org or call 864-467-3000 or 800-888-7768.

Biography: Corrie Townsend
Coralee Jane Townsend was born to Cornelius and Catherine Townsend on October 12, 1993. Coralee's friends and family started calling her Corrie when her younger brother, Philip, was unable to properly pronounce her name.
From an early age, it was apparent that Corrie was a natural born athlete. Her parents took her to gymnastics, martial arts, cheer camps, swimming lessons, ice and roller skating clinics, and she was active in high school volleyball and tennis. Corrie maintained a C average in school and was always on the move.
In junior high, she became best friends with Katie Masters. Corrie and Katie seemed to be attached at the hip; you never saw one without the other. They attended their junior prom together. The boys they went with were also best friends, so they doubled on prom night. The girls were looking forward to their graduation in May.

2008 Euro qualifiers: Italy, France in toughest group
Former European and world champion France, three-time World Cup winner Italy and emerging Ukraine were drawn into the same qualifying group Friday for the 2008 European Championship.india Updated: Jan 27, 2006 19:06 IST
Former European and world champion France, three-time World Cup winner Italy and emerging Ukraine were drawn into the same qualifying group on Friday for the 2008 European Championship.
Three more World Cup-bound teams— Portugal, Poland and Serbia-Montenegro— were put together in Group A, which was almost as difficult as France's Group B.
Only the top two teams from each of the seven groups will join co-hosts Switzerland and Austria in the final tournament in 2008. Fifty teams will play in the qualifying campaign. Other interesting matchups include Sweden, Spain and Denmark in Group F, and the Czech Republic, Germany and Slovakia in Group D. "It will be a battle in each of the games," Germany coach Juergen Klinsmann said.
France has not lost to Italy since the 1978 World Cup and the team beat the Azzurri in the 2000 final and in the 1998 World Cup quarterfinals.
"I am happy to play against Italy," France coach Raymond Domenech said. "It's a big team. I've wanted to play Italy." Italy coach Marcello Lippi knew the draw on the shores of Lake Geneva could have been better.
"Ukraine, which is a growing power, France and Scotland are tough opponents," he told SKY Italia television network. Besides the two tough groups, several bitter rivalries will be renewed.
Defending champion Greece plays Turkey in Group C. The Turks eliminated Greece from the World Cup in Germany. Norway is also in that group.
"Turkey and Norway are very good teams, and I think it will be them and us fighting for the top two slots," Greece defender Traianos Dellas said.
In Group A, Caucasian rivals Armenia and Azerbaijan were drawn together. The Czech Republic and Slovakia, who were part of the same country until 1993, are in Group D.
"We know each other very well. It's an interesting match-up," Slovakia coach Dusan Gallis said. "But I don't see a problem in the rivalry, we're very good friends and it won't be over the top." Gallis played for Czechoslovakia when it won the European title in 1976.
Perennial favorite England is still looking for its first title and was drawn with Croatia, Russia and Israel in Group E. Sven-Goran Eriksson, who will leave after the World Cup, said his successor should not complain about the task ahead.
"There are groups which are much more difficult than the England group so I think it's very good," he said. "England fans and the man coming after me will be happy."
In Group F, Sweden and 1992 champion Denmark are two northern neighbours drawn together, with Spain adding to the excitement. The Netherlands, the 1988 champion, plays in an overwhelmingly eastern European Group G with Romania, Bulgaria, Slovenia, Albania and Belarus.
Still, coach Marco van Basten was pleased, especially after he was drawn in the toughest World Cup group last month with Argentina, Serbia-Montenegro and Ivory Coast.
"We had a good draw compared to the World Cup. It is better for us," Van Basten said.
Switzerland will play the opening match at Basel's St. Jakob Park on June 7, 2008, and the final of the 16-nation tournament will be in Vienna on June 29.
Bern, Geneva and Zurich also will host games in Switzerland, and Innsbruck, Klagenfurt and Salzburg will host games in Austria.

The new networking group, New York Digital Irish, have chosen three new Irish startups, including BusyMoos, Trustev and Marino Software, to pitch alongside US startups at their upcoming event.
The group, headed up by Feargall Kenny, aims to provide a forum for Irish expats and Irish Americans in the digital media arena. Kenny, who also runs the New York-based executive search firm Glenborn, has hosted two previous meet-ups this year.
His goal through the New York Digital Irish network is to create a digital mission to New York for Irish firms. The end goal would be to bring 20 Irish companies to New York for a three-day affair.
He also aims to create a "virtual advisory board," a guide for Irish firms entering the US marketplace.
He told SiliconRepublic the network's aim is "to build a bridge between those folks and the digital community back in Ireland".
"With the two events that we have held so far the idea is to have two firms from Ireland and two firms that are run by Irish expats or Irish-Americans here in the States," said Kenny.
Next Wednesday each of the startups will do a fast pitch to the audience about their companies, what their plans are - which may be that they're looking for employees, partners or investment.
The Irish startups that will present are BusyMoos, a booking engine for beauty treatments, Trustev, the new Cork-headquartered company that specialises in social fingerprinting technology to prevent e-commerce fraud, and Marino Software, a designer of apps for children.
The two US startups will be BestBuzz, a mobile marketing and loyalty platform and BlueLink Marketing, a new approach to search engine marketing.
Elaine McGarry, the founder of BusyMoos, will pitch at the next New York event. BusyMoos is a booking engine for services in the health and beauty sector. It is now running booking trials in Dublin.
The company has recently taken on a developer who is based in New York and McGarry says BusyMoos is now planning to target the US marketplace.
She told SiliconRepublic "There are 25m appointments made in the beauty sector every day in the States so there is a larger market for us.
"We're hoping to make connections in New York who will help us roll out our service once we have funding on-board."

I travel a lot. Not like some folks that are gone every week, mind you, although in the last month I've been to: Cambridge, UK; Anchorage, AK; San Jose, CA; Copenhagen, DK, Boston, MA; and I'm currently en-route to Anaheim, CA. While this many places in a month is a bit unusual for me, I would say I travel frequently. I've travelled most of my 28+ years in IT, and at one time was a consultant traveling weekly.
With that much time away from my primary work location, I have to find ways to stay productive. Some might say "just rest – take a nap!" – but I'm not able to do that. For one thing, I'm a very light sleeper and I've never slept on a plane - even a 30+ hour trip to New Zealand in Business Class - so that just isn't option. I also am not always in the plane, of course. There's the hotel, the taxi/bus/train, the airport and then all that over again when I arrive. Since my regular jobs have many demands, I have to get work done.
Note: No, I'm not always focused on work. I need downtime just like everyone else. Sometimes I just think, watch a movie or listen to tunes – and I give myself permission to do that anytime – sometimes the whole trip. I have too few
heartbeats left in life to only focus on work – it's just not that important, and neither am I. Some of these tasks are letters to friends and family, or other personal things. What I'm talking about here is a plan, not some task list I have to follow. When I get to the location I'm traveling to, I always build in as much time as I can to ensure I enjoy those sights and the people I'm with. I would find traveling to be a waste if not for that.
The Unrealistic Expectation
As I would evaluate the trip I was taking – say a 6-8 hour flight – I would expect to get 10-12 hours of work done. After all, there's the time at the airport, the taxi and so on, and then of course the time in the air with all of the room, power, internet and everything else I needed to get my work done. I would pile up tasks at home, pack my bags, and head happily to the magical land of the TSA.
On return from the trip, I had accomplished little, had more e-mails and other work that had piled up, and I was tired, hungry, and unorganized. This had to change.
So, I decided to do three things:
- Segment my work
- Set realistic expectations
- Plan accordingly
Segmenting By Available Resources
The first task was to decide what kind of work I could do in each location – if any. I found that I was dependent on a few things to get work done, such as power, the Internet, and a place to sit down.
Before I fly, I take some time at home to get all of the work I'd like to accomplish while away segmented into these areas, and print that out on paper, which goes in my suit-coat pocket along with a mechanical pencil. I print my tickets, and I'm all set for the adventure ahead. Then I simply do each kind of work whenever I'm in that situation.
No power
There are certain times when I don't have power available. But not only that, I might not even be able to use most of my electronics.
So I now schedule as many phone calls as I can for the taxi/bus/train ride and the airports as I can. I have a paper notebook (Moleskine, of course) and a pencil and I print out any notes or numbers I need prior to the trip.
Once I'm airborne or at the airport, I work on my laptop. I check and respond to e-mails, create slides, write code, do architecture, whatever I can.
If I can't use any electronics, or once the power runs out, I schedule time for reading. I can read at the airport or anywhere, actually, even in-flight or any other transport. I "read with a pencil", meaning I take a lot of notes, which I like
to put in OneNote, but since in most cases I don't have power, I use the Moleskine to do that.
Speaking of which, sometimes as I'm thinking I come up with new topics, ideas, blog posts, or things to teach in my classes. Once again I take out the notebook and write it down. All of these notes get a check-mark when I get back to the office and transfer the writing to OneNote. I've tried those "smart pens" and so on to automate this, but it just never works out. Pencil and paper are just fine.
As I mentioned, sometime I just need to think. I'll do nothing, and let my mind wander, thinking of nothing in particular, or some math problem or science question I'm interested in. My only issue with this is that I communicate to
think, and I don't want to drive people crazy by being that guy that won't shut up, so I think in a different way.
Power, but no Internet or Phone
If I have power but no Internet or phone, I focus on the laptop and the tablet as before, and I also recharge my other gadgets.
Power, Internet, Phone and a Place to Work
At first I thought that when I arrived at the hotel or event I could get the same amount of work done that I do at the office. Not so. There's simply too many distractions, things you need, or other issues that allow this. Of course, I
can work on any device, read, think, write or whatever, but I am simply not as productive as I am in my home office.
So I plan for about 25-50% as much work getting done in this environment as I think I could really do. I've done some measurements, and this holds out to be true almost every time. The key is that I re-set my expectations (and my co-worker's expectations as well) that this is the case. I use the Out-Of-Office notices to let people know that I'm just not going to be 100% at this time – it's hard for everyone, but it's more honest and realistic, and I'd rather they know that – and that I realize that – than to let them think I'm totally available. Because I'm not – I'm traveling. I don't tend to put too much detail, because after all I don't necessarily want to let people know when I'm not home :) but I do think it's important to let people that depend on my know that I'll get back with them later.
I hope this helps you think through your own methodology of staying productive when you travel. Or perhaps you just go offline, and don't worry about any of this – good for you! That's completely valid as well.
(Oh, and yes, I wrote this at 35K feet, on Alaska Airlines on a trip. :) Practice what you preach, Buck.)

THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS (THE MORMONS) Scripture references for Christmas:Many people are familiar with the Nativity as told in Luke 1-2. But there are many other places in the scriptures that talk about the miraculous birth of the Savior Jesus Christ. Consider including these verses in your personal scripture study this month:OLD TESTAMENT - Isaiah 7:14; Isaiah 9:6-7; Micah 5:2NEW TESTAMENT - Matthew 1-2; John 1:1-14BOOK OF MORMON - 1 Nephi 10:4-6; 1 Nephi 11:13-21; Alma 7:9-13; Helaman 14:1-9; 3 Nephi 1DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS - D&C 76:41; D&C 93:1-4PEARL OF GREAT PRICE - Moses 5:57 (source: Ensign December 2010 page 71)*LDS facts: Members tithe 10 percent, plus donate generously to the needy the first Sunday of each month. Clergy and all other congregational positions are unpaid (however, much of the janitorial is paid). The Church has no debt; all buildings are paid for in cash (average of two new congregations a day). The paid positions in Salt Lake are famously low-salaried; funds are frugally used and tightly audited. (source: LDS Facts From Ford Motor Company)*A letter from The First Presidency to the members of the Church:As we approach the close of another year, we express gratitude for the good being done by Church members throughout the world. We are aware, however, of the continued suffering of so many. We urge members of the Church to greater faithfulness in keeping their sacred covenants, honoring the Sabbath day, fasting with a prayerful heart and paying a full tithe and a generous fast offering. Church members will soon have the privilege of meeting with their bishops for tithing settlement and a review of their fast-offering donations. We invite you to avail yourselves of this opportunity to be faithful in the payment of tithes and generous in your fast offerings. These sacred contributions are used to build up God's kingdom on earth and to assist those in need. Faithful observance of these principles will bring blessings to the saints and relief to distressed.Local News:*Dec. 11 - Cindie Alldredge and her daughter, Amelia McBeth, will sing a beautiful song, "I Heard Him Come," for the prelude music before our sacrament meeting.
