Got the chance to play second shooter at a piano recital in UP Diliman.
Believe it or not, this guy isn't a music major at all. He recently graduated Magna Cum Laude, BS Math (MATH! That dreary, accursed subject that I still have nightmares of). He only plays piano on the side, and a mean piano at that. Talk about multi-talented!
Gabriel Miguel C. Medalla, or Gim, as he is fondly called by family and friends, belongs to the family of former National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Secretary Felipe Medalla – hence those wicked smarts in numbers – and has been playing the piano since he was seven.
He played, if I am not mistaken, 8 pieces in all. I especially enjoyed Rachmaninoff's Prelude in C-Sharp Minor Op.3 no. 2.
I've been hankering for a landscape shoot for some time now – it's an itch that's just begging to be scratched. I've been stuck, landscape-wise, since that trip to Layag-Layag (more landscapes from that in future posts). This is why in a fit of desperation, I set up my tripod at the back of the Folk Arts Theatre and took a shot at an overused (in every sense of the word) Manila Bay.
It was overcast that day, the ground still wet from the rain. I was going for a minimalist approach and was definitely looking to shoot in monochrome, since conditions were pointing to shots that would look better in black and white.
Anti-social misfit that I am, I've always wanted to try out shooting interiors, since well, the interaction with others is limited. LOL. Anyway, I got the chance to do just that when I was "commissioned" to shoot the interiors of a high-end Japanese restaurant in Bonifacio Global City.
TOKI: Japanese Fusion and Fine Dining prides itself in being one of the most authentic Japanese fusion restaurants in the Metro, with Japanese chef Shinsuke Yonekawa at the helm in the kitchen. Food is a bit on the expensive side, so prepare you wallet if ever you decide that you want to try this place out.

Looking for room in flatshare in Enge / city (Zurich)
I need a room in a shared flat (WG) from approx April onwards. Can anybody help me directly or indirectly / give advise? I have found the website "wg-gesucht.de"; perhaps you know of another good site to search for flat shares?
I already have my main home with my wife in Lausanne, but I will be working for Credit Suisse during the week and travelling back to Lausanne most weekends.
I don't know Zürich at all, but I guess to cut travelling time the apartment should idealy be near the tram line 13, or walkable distance to Uetlibergstrasse (Credit Suisse), or near to the main station.
Many thanks (look forward to seeing you on a future Internations event in Zürich),
Cheers! Mark

Planning a social event in London? Want to improve your game? Need help on filming? Want to find some dart-playing extras?
I run occasional events and can provide darts coaching and lessons in London pubs. Coaching sessions and events are designed based on what you want to achieve and where you are based, and range from the fairly serious to the entirely ludicrous. Pricing depends entirely on requirements, so if you are interested in finding out more, please email me on firstname.lastname@example.com. Note: Alec Ferguson wasn't a great footballer.
I can also coach actors for broadcast purposes. I was a coach on BBCs Let's Play Darts for Sport Relief, and the Darts Consultant for the (possibly-never-to-be-released) movie London Fields. If you are making any programme about darts, I can probably help.
"Justin organised an informal darts competition for a social we were having with an important client. It was a terrific evening and was very well received by everyone. The competition was managed expertly by Justin and included a number of variations to traditional scoring. He also provided helpful tips and anecdotes, which kept the group engaged. We were particularly impressed by how he managed to allow everyone a chance to play, considering that the group numbered more than 20, and there was only one oche!"
HN, Linklaters LLP.
"Justin provided a fantastic evening of darts based fun, interspersed with anecdotes of professional players and darts leagues from up and down the country. His knowledge of the game and his ability to create a relaxed and fun, albeit competitive environment, made for a brilliant evening which will be long remembered."
Chris D (competition winner!), London.
"I met up with Justin in a pub just near Oxford Street for a darts lesson on one of my trips to London. It was a successful and great coaching session. I particularly liked the way he ran the training and gave me some tips – and I'm looking forward to my next lesson".
"Perfect choice of venue, great mix of games – God knows how he kept us all involved. Brilliant. One stag said to me as we stumbled out of a salubrious gentleman's club in London's east end… 'Tell you what mate, that was good, but the darts was much, much better!'"
Matt, London

Residents Speak Out at PSC Hearing (Video)
Dozens of Montgomery County residents packed the Montgomery County Council chambers to testify at the Public Service Commission's Aug. 7 public hearing.
The hearing was scheduled to get residents' feedback following the June 29 derecho and power outages.
In addition to sharing stories about how the power outages impacted their lives and how much it cost them personally, residents also offered advice and tips for future improvement. As expected, there was great criticism of Pepco's response and the PSC's supervisory role.
The public hearing stretched over the four-hour mark ending shortly after 11 p.m. MyMCMedia's Sonya Burke reports.

Normally I never ever say anything about my work and the people who I care for. But when this happened, I couldn't help but want to share it.
Yesterday I was with this couple. He can hardly stand, never mind walk. She suffers from Dementia. She is his arms and legs. He tells her what to do and she does it. Many times she hasn't got a clue what butter, milk, tea, an electric razor or anything he asks for is, but eventually they'll get there.
Well, yesterday was his birthday. She, of course, had no idea. With the first round, at 7.30 AM, I checked on them both and congratulated him. I came back to help them get washed and dressed around 9. When both were dressed, i got him into his wheelchair and rolled him into the livingroom. I went back to the bathroom to clean up the mess. As I walked past her in the kitchen I whispered in her ear "It's your husband's birthday, you should congratulate him." The last bit is necessary, as otherwise she wouldn't have a clue what to do with the info I just gave her. She smiled, went over to him and grabbed his hand. I disapeared into the bathroom, and watched what happened. I saw the most beautiful thing happening.
"Congratulations on your birthday, sweetheart." She said. He looked up, surprise and happiness sweeped across his face. "Thanks." He replied. She gave him a big kiss and they hugged several minutes while I disappeared, with tears in my eyes, and cleaned up the bathroom. When I came out, she was in the kitchen and I don't think she remembered what had happened.
He called me and asked "Did you tell her it's my birthday?" When I said yes, he grabbed my hand and said "Thank you, that was the best birthday gift I've ever had."

This is the recipe my family has always used. It's adapted, my aunt tells me, from the original 1896 Fannie Farmer recipe. It yields a lacy, buttery, high-rise waffle that's not too sweet. My waffle iron is the Belgian style, with deep, large pockets, but this would work well on a smaller waffle iron as well, probably with double the yield.
Makes about a dozen Belgian waffles
3 1/2 teaspoons yeast
2/3 cup lukewarm water
1 1/2 cups lukewarm milk (1 percent, 2 percent or whole)
1 1/2 cups seltzer
3/4 cup melted unsalted butter
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
3 cups flour
3 large eggs
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast with the warm water, and let stand for 5 minutes. Once the yeast has proofed (fine-bubbled foam appears on the surface after 5 to 10 minutes, "proving" the yeast is alive; if the mixture just sits, the yeast needs to be replaced), add the lukewarm milk, seltzer, melted butter, salt and sugar.
Beat in 3 cups of flour with a whisk. Cover. Let stand at room temperature for 6 to 8 hours, until spongy. (I've found that if you let it stand too long, it can overproof, losing some rise and souring a bit. You can chill it to retard the rising.)
Preheat the waffle iron. While the iron's heating, beat the eggs with the baking soda, then stir them into the risen batter. Cook the waffles in the iron. If the batter starts to push the iron lid up, hold it down by the handle for a more thorough rise. The waffles are generally done when the steam has completely subsided. If the batter starts to lose some of its leavening power as it waits for the batches of waffles to complete, you can whisk a pinch more baking soda into each portion of batter before you add it to the iron.
If you can't serve them immediately, you can hold the waffles on a rack in an oven preheated to 150 degrees for about an hour.
Orange Whipped Cream
1 cup cold heavy cream, straight out of the fridge
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon orange extract
Grated zest of 1 orange
In the bowl of a mixer fitted with the whip attachment, beat the cream on low-medium speed until it begins to thicken. Add the sugar and orange extract and beat to soft peaks, then fold in the orange zest. Serve with the waffles and warm maple syrup.

Actress Kim Fields may be a lot of things, but she's certainly not a quitter!
The iconic child star, who made her reality show debut on The Real Housewives of Atlanta last season, was like a fish out of water amongst the ladies of the popular reality show during season 8, and many of her fans felt it was a bad decision from the start.
Now, despite claims back in March that she was "one & done" with the show (click HERE if you missed that), Fields is now alluding that she may actually be returning next season.
Details below…
It wasn't too much of a surprise when Kim Fields told The Rickey Smiley Morning Show about her plans to leave the series following the show's Season 8 finale episode.
During the interview, Kim stated:
It feels more like Brett Favre and the Jets, you know — I'm done.
I think about too, at the beginning of the season, what did my mama say? 'Get in and get out.' Listen to your mama.
[READ: One & Done! Kim Fields Quits The Real Housewives of Atlanta (AUDIO)]
But it seems Fields may have had a change of heart after checking her bank balances!
In a recent interview with Hello Beautiful, Fields reveals that she may have had a change of heart, stating:
"No decisions have been made about RHOA, as I am focusing on my dancing adventure."
As you know, many feel that Fields decision to leave RHOA was prompted by her feud with Kenya Moore and her issues with the gay rumors that were spread about her husband, Christopher Morgan, on the show.
[READ: REPORTS: Kim Fields Quit To Protect Her Husband's Reputation… ]
But the actress and Dancing with the Stars contestant says her decisions regarding her career are solely motivated by what she thinks is best for herself and her family.
"Any and all decisions made about my career are based on those factors, period," she added.
[Translation: Money talks… cut the check Bravo!]

T-Mobile may be left out from the "official iGame" but it does want to prepare itself for folks looking to bring Apple's latest smartphones to its network. To that end, the Deutsche Telekom-owner carrier will be offering Nano SIMs in mid-October which interested customers will then be able to put into their unlocked iPhone 5 handsets. Speaking of which [unlocked iPhone 5], you can grab the 16GB version for $649, 32GB one for $749, and the one with 64 gigs of built-in storage for $849. Kinda steep but then again on par with high-end Android smartphones.
Our two cents: We salute T-Mobile's strategy of being prepared for the iPhone 5 but I'm not sure that will help them a lot. The chances are slim that many people will buy the unlocked iPhone 5 only to bring it to T-Mobile's network. Quite the contrary, we wouldn't be surprised to see T-Mobile customers leaving the network to get Apple's handset on AT&T, Sprint or Verizon.

Alan Lloyd Hodgkin
Born: 5 February 1914, Banbury, United Kingdom
Died: 20 December 1998, Cambridge, United Kingdom
Affiliation at the time of the award: University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom
Prize motivation: "for their discoveries concerning the ionic mechanisms involved in excitation and inhibition in the peripheral and central portions of the nerve cell membrane"
Field: cell physiology, neurophysiology
Prize share: 1/3
The nervous system in people and animals consists of many different cells. In cells, signals are conveyed by small electrical currents and by chemical substances. By measuring changes in electrical charges in a very large nerve fiber from a species of octopus, Alan Hodgkin and Andrew Huxley were able to show how nerve impulses are exchanged between cells. In 1952 they could demonstrate that a fundamental mechanism involves the passage of sodium and potassium ions in opposite directions in and out through the cell wall, which gives rise to electrical charges.

text: Just finished watching this awesome film! Basically its the newest DC animated film and it was adapted from DC: The New Frontier mini series (which admittedly I've never read) and although it has Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Superman, it focuses more on the origin of Hal Gordons Green Lantern and The Martian Manhunter. They all join forces to battle this living dino island, but thats really the last 20 minutes The film is done so damn well, excellent 40's/50's comic book style direction and the voice work is mighty fine too. All characters are handled very very well and it even features the odd cameo of other DC favourites. It is also PG-13 and has a bit of a "mature" theme going through but it is all justified very well. So if you like DC stuff give it a try, its not officially out until the end of next month and the only "unlegit" copy has the occasional black & white seen but its a definite buy for me. I know WB are getting the JLA film together (though writers strike are stopping it) I just hope that those involved get to see this to see how to put a JL story together Trailer:

Growing out dyed hair to reveal one's natural color can be done to rid the hair of harsh dye chemicals. The process is also ideal for individuals who no longer want to hide gray hair.Continue Reading
If the hair is highlighted, put lowlights in the hair. This makes the tresses closer to their natural color.
Let the hair grow naturally from the scalp for two to three months. This gives the beautician an accurate idea of one's true hair color. Ask a beautician to apply a tint back to the hair to restore its natural color and replace missing pigments in the hair that have been lost through dying.
Condition the hair with a protein treatment during the growing-out process to ensure healthy growth of hair.

Best 2- World Heavyweight Championship
I saw a thread for the best 2 of the WWE title so why not post one about the prestige World Heavyweight Championship so here are my 2 choices for this thread
Chris Brenoit vs HBK Triple H-Wrestlemania 20 - I had always been a hardcore Benoit fan and imo second to Bret Hart he was the best technical wrestler theres been and it was great to see him finally win the BIG ONE at Madison Square Garden at the grandest stage of them all. Plus Eddie coming out and them hugging with tears coming down their faces made that moment that much greater.
Chris Benoit vs Randy Orton -Summerslam 04- This was just a great solid match and i dont think anyone expected it to end the way it did with Orton pinning Benoit clean to become World Champ
so those are my choices. What are yours?
Armageddon 2002
Triple H/HBK - 3 Stages of Hell - The first big time match for the WHC that really made the title what it is. (I don't count the Elimination Chamber at Survivor Series because I feel that it was only used to make HBK a credible champion by having him go over 5 other people.)
Wrestlemania 24
Undertaker/Edge - JUst a great match, which is no surprise because Undertaker always delivers at Wrestlemania. The culmination of a 6 month feud that began when Edge cost Undertaker the title against Batista.
Survivor Series 2002: Triple H (c) vs RVD vs Booker T vs Jericho vs Kane vs HBK.
The first ever Elimination Chamber match and still my favorite chamber. 6 very talented WWE superstars walked into this demonic structure and the Heartbreak Kid making his long awaited return and winning the title made it complete.
May 19th 2003 Monday Night Raw: Triple H (c) vs Ric Flair.
While both men were in Evolution Flair fought with his all to become the 17 time champion. One of the best matches I've ever seen. Triple H won but after the match Triple H placed the title on Flair's shoulder and hugged him. The match and moment were both huge.

Elimination Chamber; Survivor Series 2002
One of my favourite matches of all time, with a great result. I really fell in love with the concept of an Elimination Chamber after this match. It had some great talent with HBK, Triple H and Jericho, and the end showdown between Shawn and Triple H was great.
Armageddon 2002; Three Stages of Hell
So I'm a sucker for gimmick matches and this belt. But I love Three Stages of Hell matches, and Triple H and Shawn did a great job. I loved the Street Fight part of this, it's one of my favourite matches.
Armageddon 2002: Triple H vs Shawn Michaels in a 3 Stages Of Hell Match- I love 3 Stages Of Hell Matchups. HBK & Triple H both did a great job in this matchup as it was compelling & an exciting matchup. I thought the part that made this matchup make this list was the street fight portion of the matchup & it is one of my favorite matches of all time.
Wrestlemania 23: The Undertaker vs Batista- This is one of the few matches that Batista performed great in. This matchup was exciting, it had a ton of close calls, it was compelling, it was the first time that I saw The Undertaker dive over the ropes & most of all it told a great story in the ring. Plus it's a bonus to see The Undertaker's undefeated WM streak extend just like it always does.

Recap: Mississippi 79, Alabama 67
Mississippi 79, Alabama 67: Jarvis Summers scored 20 points and the host Rebels fought off a second-half comeback to halt a four-game losing streak.
Martavious Newby had 15 points and 10 rebounds off the bench as Mississippi (17-11, 7-8 SEC) handed Alabama its 14th consecutive loss away from home and 11th straight conference road defeat. Marshall Henderson had 13 points and Aaron Jones scored 12 as the Rebels avenged a three-point loss to the Crimson Tide on Feb. 11.
Freshman Shannon Hale scored a career-high 27 points and grabbed nine rebounds for Alabama (11-17, 5-10), which fell for the seventh time in nine games. Trevor Releford scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half for the Tide.
Henderson scored 11 of the first 15 points for the Rebels, who opened a 10-point lead nine minutes into the game. Hale had 16 points and Randolph hit back-to-back baskets as Alabama cut the deficit to 30-25, but Ole Miss responded with an 8-0 burst en route to a 43-28 edge at halftime.
Hale netted eight points and Randolph and Releford each scored five in a row as the Tide cut a 17-point lead to seven with just under nine minutes to play, but Newby answered with a layup and a 3-pointer to push the margin back to a dozen.

Cheap room needed from 27 June-11 July (Washington, D.C.)
Dear IN members in Washington DC,
German friends of mine are in need of a cheap room for their son in Washington DC or close surrounding from 27 June until 11 July. The son has booked a non refundable/non exchangeable flight ticket to Washington in order to visit someone. Due to an emergency they won't be available when he is there.
He is now looking for a cheap room where he can stay while he is visiting Washington. He is a very responsible person who wanted to use the time between high school and college to explore Washington.
Has anyone a spare room to rent out? Are their any student houses where he can get in for a short period of time?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Please contact his family (Michael, Soeren and Silke) directly at Protected content .
Thank you very much for your help in this matter.
Kind regards,

Bang & Olufsen, famous for its high-end sound gear, televisions and all things home entertainment has launched a set of computer speakers for the PC enthusiast who has everything.
Ideal for gamers, music fans, or anyone who spends a disproportionate amount of time in front of a computer screen, the new speakers will set you back a tidy £830 per pair.
The loudspeaker, called BeoLab 4, according to B&O is a very small yet very powerful loudspeaker based on Bang & Olufsen's proprietary digital ICEpower amplifier technology. BeoLab 4 connects to a PC or Mac using a normal mini-jack plug and is immediately ready to use.
"In developing BeoLab 4, we wanted a loudspeaker that could be used with PCs as well. Sound is playing an increasingly important role for PC users, especially with ongoing developments in games and music", product manager Michael Jensen explains.
Despite its 20cm height and 22cm width, the little pyramid-shaped loudspeaker promises fantastic sound and automatically adjusts the bass according to the playing volume.

Red and Processed Meat Increases Risk of Prostate Cancer
Red and Processed Meat Increases Risk of Prostate Cancer
Meat consumption increases the risk of prostate cancer, according to a recent study looking at more than 175,000 men as part of the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study. The men who consumed the most red meat had a 30 percent increased risk of cancer, compared with those who consumed the least. Processed red meat was associated with a 10 percent increased risk of prostate cancer with every 10 grams (about one-third of an ounce) of increased intake. Researchers also investigated cooking method and content of heme iron and nitrites and nitrates for the various types of meat consumed. Heme iron intake, nitrite and nitrate consumption, and grilling and barbecuing all were associated with higher risk.

Michael Jackson's Estate Pulled in Extra Millions Because Fans Never Asked for This Is It Tour Refunds
An extra $6.5 million, to be exact.
Tucked within Billboard's exhaustive new report, "How Michael Jackson Made $1 Billion Since His Death" — which runs through the specifics of MJ's music sales, new licensing and catalogue deals, and the international box-office success of the concert movie This Is It — is this startling detail: "Despite being canceled, the 50-show This Is It tour at London's O2 paid big dividends. Revenue from tickets retained by fans as souvenirs and not refunded brought in an estimated $6.5 million." $6.5 million! From shows that never took place! Seriously, when's that ever going to happen again? [Billboard]

Web Architecture: 2005
After going through the process of another Web site design, I decided to sit back and think about my ultimate Web architecture. The result was a pretty simple idea separated into a few steps:
- Semantic XML – Start out with data that has semantic value to it. Leave out any thought of formatting, just describe what should be on the page, not how it should be displayed.
- XSLT – Using the semantic data, transform it into semantically significant HTML, using tags like
<em/>, and
<p/>. Some
<ul/>, etc., tags can be used to logically group sets of data.
- Semantic HTML + CSS – the final presentation is then formatted into a visually pleasing format using CSS.
It all seems so simple, but why is it that so many sites are content with laying things out in tables and losing all semantic value of the data that is the real focus of the site?

Looks like a certain country is going to need a drink today (shouldn't be a tough sell). The New York Times reports:
In Ireland, banking troubles lie at the root of what many in Europe are now calling a solvency crisis, reflecting long-term concern over Ireland's ability to repay its debts.
Irish banking losses are estimated at up to 80 billion euros ($109 billion), depending on the forecast used, or 50 percent of the economy. As long as housing prices continue to fall, these losses cannot be capped.
I remember playing dominating at Monopoly as a kid. When other players landed on my street and couldn't afford the rent (their debt owed to me), I took their property, their cash, their thimble – their self-respect. And it was no surprise to me that I would eventually own everything they had. Roll by roll, they landed on my property, I got their money, I used that money to put up hotels, they then owed me more money. I had the right strategy and a little luck from the dice.
I won't detail how countries like Ireland go into such unmanageable debt…because I have no clue. But I would like to know to whom they owe these trillions of dollars. And I think this is important because a simple Wikipedia search shows that every major country is in a similar, sinking ship. Assuming the same rules apply, someone is getting closer to winning this global Monopoly and, in doing so, will seize your house and hover car (I don't think this will happen overnight…Monopoly can take forever). Remember, the government is playing with your money. (You're so nice).
Don't worry, though. I'm sure the winner will be gracious.

TRENTON – A suspended senior state correction officer from Newark pleaded guilty to trafficking 22 kilograms of cocaine from Texas to New Jersey, Attorney General Paula T. Dow and Criminal Justice Director Stephen J. Taylor announced Wednesday.
According to Taylor, Eugene W. Braswell, 31, who worked at Northern State Prison, pleaded guilty to first-degree cocaine trafficking and second-degree official misconduct before Superior Court Judge John J. Coyle Jr. in Warren County late Tuesday afternoon.
The state will recommend that Braswell be sentenced to 15 to 20 years in prison, including 10 to 12½ years of parole ineligibility. He faces five years without possibility of parole on the official misconduct charge and a consecutive sentence of 10 to 15 years, including five to 7½ years of parole ineligibility, on the drug charge. He must forfeit his job as a senior correction officer and his state pension. Sentencing is scheduled for May 6.
"This senior correction officer was living a corrupt double life, guarding prisoners for the state while moonlighting as a major drug trafficker," said Dow. "Through this plea, we have ensured that he will be spending all of his time in prison for the foreseeable future."
Braswell and five other men were charged in an Oct. 15, 2009 indictment obtained as a result of an investigation by the New Jersey State Police and the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice.
On Jan. 21, Delrese Hardy, 37, of East Orange, pleaded guilty to a first-degree drug trafficking charge before Judge Coyle. He faces a sentence of 15 to 20 years in prison, including seven to 10 years of parole ineligibility. In pleading guilty, Braswell admitted that he and Hardy arranged to have two other men transport 22 kilograms of cocaine to New Jersey from Houston, Texas. Those men, Walter S. Braden, 33, of East Orange, and Shuerod Walton, 39, of East Orange, pleaded guilty to second-degree conspiracy charges and face up to seven years in prison.
Two additional members of the drug trafficking ring, Joseph L. Jones, 39, of Newark, and Antwan K. Jones, 39, of Sewaren, pleaded guilty on Jan. 21 to second-degree conspiracy to distribute cocaine. They each face a sentence of seven to eight years in prison, including three to four years of parole ineligibility.
The six defendants were arrested in July 2008. The investigation revealed that Braswell and Hardy supervised the other defendants in the purchase and inter-state transportation of large quantities of cocaine from sources in Texas and elsewhere outside New Jersey. The cocaine was sold and distributed in northern New Jersey. Braswell was suspended without pay from his job with the Department of Corrections after his arrest.
The investigation into drug trafficking began after Braswell was involved in a shooting incident in August 2007 outside his Newark home in which he shot and killed Waliford Williams, 34. According to an investigation by the Attorney General's Shooting Response Team, Williams shot at Braswell with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, striking Braswell in the left ankle. Braswell returned fire with his own .40-caliber handgun, striking Williams twice, including once in the neck. Williams died at the scene.
"Braswell's involvement in a fatal shooting in Newark raised a red flag for detectives of the State Police and Division of Criminal Justice, who subsequently uncovered his narcotics network," said Taylor. "All six defendants in this case now face lengthy prison sentences."
The drug investigation led to the arrest of Walton and Braden on July 12, 2008 following a motor vehicle stop in Pohatcong Township, Warren County. Detectives had a warrant to search the 2000 Dodge Ram Van in which the men were traveling. They seized approximately 22 kilograms of cocaine which were wrapped in heat-sealed plastic bags and hidden in the roof panels of the vehicle. The men were returning from Houston, Texas, with the drugs.

In 2 weeks time, the Formula 1 circus will be back in Singapore and I think it's fair to say most Singaporeans are NOT looking forward to it.
Why should we? Heavy traffic jams due to the road closure, can't get to the waterfront side due to the race, heavy police presence in the area and high-sky prices for the race itself; it's no wonder most Singaporeans find the race an inconvenience.
However don't expect to read this in the Singapore papers. The Strait Times will probably say what a great success the race is, just like last year when they said the race was a great success. This is even though retailers situated around the F 1 track reported a 40% drop in business during the F1 period last year and hotels were reported to be fully booked when they were not.
And that's not even including the terrible F1 season this year. Even the most die-hard F1 fan will have to say that this season has been nothing short of disastrous.
The list of disasters this season is long and between 'Liegate' (when defending champion Lewis Hamilton lied to race stewards (twice) in Australia), the loophole in the rules found by 3 of the teams which allow them to modify their cars, and (the latest) Renault begin accused by their former driver of ordering him to crash; it's hard to remember a worse F1 season.
Yes, the F1 circus is back in town and it is a circus in more ways than one.

Upon purchasing your Mac computer, you also received Apple's iLife, a software pack consisting of: iPhoto, iMovie, Garage Band, iDVD, and iWeb. For the most part, all of the iLife applications are of decent quality. iDVD, which is Apple's DVD burning software, is actually a quite capable program, that should be able to handle the majority of disc burning tasks that you throw its way.
Aside from being the DVD app included with your Mac, iDVD is probably the best free DVD burning app available. The only application that may be favorable to iDVD is Roxio Toast. However, Toast costs approximately $80, eliminating it entirely from our free DVD software for the Mac list. If you plan on using iDVD to work with your own film projects, you may also want to consider using iMovie for editing, as iDVD and iMovie work great together.
- slide 2 of 5
If you are looking for a good DVD burning program with an easy to use interface, Burn, a free OS X application from SourceForge, may be your ideal solution. Burn's UI is extremely reminiscent of the native OS X window look. Thus, it blends in nicely with your Mac.
The Burn application consists of four main tabs: Data, Audio, Video, and Copy. Under each tab, you simply navigate to the file you want to burn, insert a DVD into your Mac's superdrive, and click the Burn button. Burn is an open source software application, so it has a decent community backing. If you are looking to do something specific, or run into any trouble when using the app, the community forum should be able to help you out.

Simply Burns
Simply Burns is a newer burning application for Macs. Although there are not a lot of reviews out for it yet, the reviews that are there dub Simply Burns as a great choice for free OS X burning software. Like Burn, Simply Burns is an open source project. In turn, it too has the benefit of a support community behind it. Some features of Simply Burns include: copy mode, easy image burning, built-in DVD ripping, and more. Simply Burns supports versions of Mac OS from OS X 10.4 Tiger to the current version of Snow Leopard.
- slide 4 of 5
There really aren't a lot of DVD burning software programs that are free for Macs. However, the capabilities of iDVD, Burn, and Simply Burns should be more than enough for the majority of disc burning projects. If not, you may want to consider purchasing Roxio Toast Titanium. Although it is a paid software, it will prove to be a good investment for anyone who does a lot of DVD burning on a constant basis.

The 2017 event is expected to draw more than 42,000 to Sarasota-Manatee.
International rowing officials confirmed Wednesday that the 2017 World Rowing Championships will be held in Southwest Florida in early fall, pushed back somewhat from the initial target to avoid hurricanes and accommodate the athletes.
More than 42,000 rowers, coaches and support staff from across the globe will travel to Southwest Florida for racing days scheduled from Sept. 24 to Oct. 1 at Nathan Benderson Park in 2017.
An opening ceremony is scheduled for Sept. 23, said Paul Blackketter, chief operating officer of the Suncoast Aquatic Nature Center Associates, the nonprofit group in charge of operations at the rowing park.
The dates were determined recently by the International Federation of Rowing Associations Congress, or FISA, the governing body for international rowing.
Blackketter spent the weekend in Lucerne, Switzerland, working with FISA officials on setting dates.
Traditionally, the championship is in July or August, but because of weather concerns and hotel availability, the date for the 2017 event was pushed back to the early fall.
"It was important for us to find that sweet spot," Blackketter said. "We wanted the weather to be calm and cool and there be no threat of hurricanes, but also not conflict with athletes' training schedules."
The event will fall just before the start of Sarasota-Bradenton's high tourism season, where part-time residents from northern states and Canada flock to the area during the winter months.
Hotel room availability is often scarce during that time.
During his three-day trip to Switzerland, Blackketter met with Svetla Otzetova, FISA chief rowing course architect, to go over the details of the boathouse and finishing towers currently under construction at Benderson Park. Otzetova helped design what the course looks like today.
Last year, she was also part of the FISA contingent charged with judging the course and its ability to host the 2017 world championships.
Blackketter also met with athletes, coaches and rowing trainers during the third World Rowing Cup of the 2014 season, which was held on Lake Lucerne.
"The goal is always to continue to form partnerships with new teams and hopefully have them come and train at our facilities," Blackketter said.
The main event
When the championships occur three years from now, a slew of international athletes and supporters are expected to pump an estimated $13 million in direct spending into the regional economy during the 10 days of competition.
It also will mark the biggest single-event draw to the region in history, providing a future boost to restaurants, hotels and vacation rentals, stores and attractions and garnering international media attention.
In all, Southwest Florida is expected to receive some $25 million in overall economic impact as a result of the event, according to early studies.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott has thrown his backing behind the pitch for the world championships.
Scott and the Florida Legislature allocated $5 million to the park this year for infrastructure work, the latest in a series of financial contributions from state government.
Governments in Sarasota and Manatee counties, meanwhile, collectively put $5.6 million toward hosting the 2017 World Rowing Championships.
Local rowing boosters also were able to secure a signed letter of support from President Barack Obama to include in the region's initial bid package.
Sports tourism
The championship event also has opened the doors to additional rowing and other sporting competitions for the region.
Modern Pentathlon, a five-phase sporting event and one of the oldest Olympic sports, hosted a World Cup Final event in Southwest Florida. International pentathletes will return in February for a World Cup event — likely held at Benderson Park — and again in 2016 for a World Cup Final and Olympic qualifying event.
Benderson Park also is slated to host an international rowing event in 2016, too, as a test of sorts before the championships in 2017.
In 2018, the rowing center will host the World Rowing Masters Regatta, and that same year, it will be the site of the 2018 World Rowing Coastal Championship, both of which are FISA-sanctioned international events.
Benderson Park also is teaming up with the University of Central Florida's women's rowing to hold the NCAA Rowing Championships the same year.

The Speaker of the House, Hon. S.B.B. Dumbuya has called on Members of Parliament to abide by the start time of 10:00 a.m. According to the Speaker, "I am not unaware of the present situation and the circumstances attendant on it. This may well explain perhaps why sittings are delayed." He appealed to Members to keep to traditional time.
He pleaded with MPS to be more responsible. He explained that they do not go for recess simply because "we could not".
Speaking on the issue, Hon. Ansumana Kaikai stated that when he was the Chief-Whip of Parliament he used to appeal to Members of Parliament to be present by 10:00 a.m. He said, when proceedings have started, if the MP is not interested, he/she can then quietly take leave.
He suggested the Chief-Whip and his Deputy to stop announcing the time when sittings begin which serves as an embarrassment to the House.
According to the Chief-Whip, Hon. Claude Kamanda, MP's coming to Parliament late sometimes is not deliberate. According to procedures, the Order Paper, which carries the activities of the day, should be made available to them 72-hours before the day of sitting. He said MP's received the Order Paper for Tuesday 12 September 2017, late Monday evening.
The Chief-Whip said MP's are tired with so many things pertaining to the responsibilities which has prevented them from going for a recess which they should be on as at now, but they decided to continue so that they can complete their task for the closing of the House.

The BBC confirmed this morning that Mary Tamm, who played the first incarnation of Romana alongside Tom Baker's Doctor, died in hospital after a long battle with cancer at the age of 62.
Tamm came to Doctor Who in 1978 during a time of experimentation for the show. Not only was she the first companion who was also a Time Lord, she also was part of the first series for the show to have a major ongoing story arc—"The Key to Time." It didn't hurt that she was an absolute knockout with a dry wit and charm that made her instantly unforgettable.
The final moment of that oft-forgotten Christmas scene represents the affable back and forth that Baker and Tamm seemed to share. Never afraid to be a bit rude to each other for the sake of a joke, I can remember listening to the commentary track for Mary's first serial, "The Ribos Operation," where Tom would comment on her breasts and she would scoff at how he'd never have a chance with her. Silly, yes, but it's those sort of off-the-cuff moments that make us feel closest to these actors.
In a statement, Tom Baker said, "She was a darling companion and wonderfully witty and kind. I'm so sorry to hear of her death."
As Doctor Who fans, we're incredibly spoiled. While small characters die all the time, the Doctor and most of his companions are effectively immortal. That their time could somehow ever be up seems impossible. Yet here we are.
In life, the best we can hope for is that, in the end, something we do matters and that we will be remembered. Mary Tamm, wherever you are, you mattered, and you will be remembered.

You Probably Need a Will, So Here's How to Have That Potentially Awkward Conversation with Your Family
Remember, if you die without a will, the state will determine who inherits
As a child, I was aware that my parents were young -- they had me when they were 20 years old, just babies themselves -- and I was never lied to about things like the little block of resin that smelt like burnt sausages and lived in the dresser, to be broken off every now and again and enjoyed in a roll-up in the garden.
I knew that on my Mum's 30th, they took speed and spent all night running round and round Brighton Pier. I knew that my Dad once took magic mushrooms in a pub garden, wigged out and ran home convinced that the slide in the garden had grown legs and was chasing him home.
In short, I wasn't ever told that drugs were bad, or evil, just to be respected. And respect them I did, for the most part.
I was lucky, as the daughter of pretty liberal parents, that at a house party once when I sort of accidentally did acid and completely freaked out, locking myself in the bathroom in the dark so that I wouldn't be able to see the flames shooting out of the carpet any more, I was able to call my parents for advice.
After telling me I was a bloody idiot, my Dad handed the phone to my stepmum who told me to drink a load of orange juice and put something nice and grounding on the TV, like the news, and that this feeling would indeed pass. I spent the next six hours convinced that Alexandra Burke was morphing into an alien but it did pass, and I was lucky that they were on hand with kind words, and not stern ones.
So I read this piece, about whether or not parents should lie to their children about drug use, feeling pretty smug. My parents hadn't lied to me about drugs. They treated me as an adult, and I was always very appreciative of this.
Or did they? A memory popped into my head.
My thing, when I was really small, was that if we were in the supermarket, or walking in the park, or generally anywhere in public and I saw someone I liked the look of I would lift up my dress or top or coat and expose my little podgy tummy at them.
That was my way of saying "Yep, you're alright, you are. I like you." I then used to stick my finger straight into my belly button and have a little dig around, much to the displeasure of my parents. And so a lie was born -- If you play with your belly button, your bum will fall off!
I believed it wholeheartedly, convinced that should I pop my finger into my innie, my whole bum would fall clean off. Off! Completely off.
Another was that if I were to pick my nose, the pressure of my little fingers up my nostril would cause my eyeball to be pushed out, and dangle in front of my face attached to my head only by a piece of string.
My parents seemed to get a lot of their "white lie inspiration" from the book "Struwwelpeter," which on first look appears to be a jolly rhyme and picture book but in actuality is a nightmarish tome written in 1845 by German psychiatrist Heinrich Hoffman to scare children into not doing such heinous things as growing their hail and nails, or leaving food, or sucking their thumbs.
Each tale has a "clear moral that demonstrates the disastrous consequences of misbehavior in an exaggerated way." Yeah, I'LL SAY. The book is a series of 10 stories, each illustrated by someone who must have clearly been a child-hating psychopath, each story lulling the juvenile reader into a false sense of security before BAM! leaving them a gibbering wreck for life.
Let us take for example perhaps the most terrifying of all -- "The Story of The Thumbsucker." I was partial to a thumb-suck well into school age, which was actively discouraged by my parents but to no avail. They tried everything, telling me that my teeth would be pushed vertically out of my mouth, that my thumb would shrink, but nothing worked. Nothing until Strewwelpetr got involved.
Conrad liked to suck his thumb, too. His mother warned him against it time and time again, the illustrations showing a gleeful Conrad having a whale of a time with his thumb wedged firmly in his mouth, much to his mother's distress. He is having such a great time, sucking that big old thumb of his, until in strides THE SCISSORMAN, all long limbs and gleaming shears in hand, and cuts Conrad's thumbs clean off. The final image is of a very sad looking little boy with no thumbs.
I was convinced that The Scissorman was real until I was about 13.
What are the lies you believed as a child? Have you ever seen a more terrifying book than "Struwwelpeter"? I am literally going to have the worst nightmares tonight.

Wallpaper has exploded back into our lives. We are using it in every room in the home. Often just on a focal wall, but I have seen these exciting new patterns used on everything from furnishings to ceilings.
There are two major trends in paper design showing equal popularity. The first is large, overblown patterns and motifs. Seen in color and black-and-white, these are gorgeous patterns that will evoke any mood you choose, from cheerful blossoms to dramatic geometrics. By changing the scale of familiar patterns you create a modern twist on traditional style.
The second trend in wallcoverings is directly connected to the move toward adding texture — this is huge in all areas of fashion, including what we are putting on our walls. Specialty-embossed wallcoverings Anaglypta (heavy paper) and Lincrusta (petroleum based) have been around for years, very popular in England, where they are holding up half the walls.
Today's embossed wallpapers are lighter and easier to apply, but they still provide all the benefits. Textured or embossed wallpaper is a perfect solution for covering small cracks and imperfections on walls that would show under a painted finish. Also, the texture adds dimension and architectural interest to new rooms. The patterns on these papers can emulate bead board, embossed tin, weaves and stucco. The papers are paintable, which provides you with the option of applying a solid color or accentuating the pattern with a rubbed finish.
Embossed paper is very versatile and durable. Apply it above a chair rail in the living or dining room and as a backsplash in the kitchen (varnish to protect); you can even cover a chest of drawers for an inspired decorative touch. It can be repainted for a whole new look. The nursery shown in the accompanying photograph could go from pink to green as your baby grows into a young nature lover.
Undoubtedly, papering a room is more expensive than simply painting. The cost of a professional paper hanger for your beloved new paper can be the same as the actual price of the paper. Here's what you need to know to do it yourself — it's not so difficult with a little bit of practice.
Walls should be properly prepared before you hang the paper so that it adheres well and can be removed easily when the time comes to decorate again. Wipe down walls to remove any dirt or grease, which will impede adherence. Sand the walls if the surface paint is glossy. Fill cracks and nail holes and sand smooth. Prime over repairs. Apply a coat of wallpaper size; this step is most important so that the paper will come off without pulling plaster or drywall with it. New drywall or plaster walls require a sealer/prime coat, then size.
Measure the walls in three or four spots. You will discover that the height varies slightly. Cut your strips the maximum height plus 2 inches top and bottom for overlap. Match patterns before you cut. Use a plumb line as a guide for your first strip so that it is hanging straight. Don't use a corner as a guide.
Start hanging your paper in the most inconspicuous place, such as behind a door, so that any mismatching will not be noticeable. Work with a buddy, and you'll have fun.

Testing the Rig
Finally, having plumbed together all the pipework and gas-lines, added electrical wiring for the pump and a light, modified the stand to accommodate a taller-than-planned gas-burner, jacketed the 3 vessels, it's time to test the bits and pieces.
As any good programmer will tell, you, first you run your Unit Tests. Then, if they're successful, you run Integration Tests. So the morning was filled with testing the various pieces by themselves.
First the gas burners: I had the good fortune to run into a fantastically helpful gas expert, Brian from Knysna Gas. The moment he heard what I was up to, he leapt into action. When I told him which burners I was planning to use, he immediately said, "No! That's not what you want. You want High Pressure burners!" Dragged me out to the back of the shop, and started cobbling together a high-pressure burner setup out of odd parts lying about. Pretty soon he'd put together a burner that can melt all known Chinese restaurants, and roast an ox at 30 paces. This, together with all its pipework,and a high-pressure gas regulator (the Really Expensive Bit) he just gave to me. I ended-up buying another burner from him, once I saw how effective these are compared to the puny piece of junk I had back home. A thousand thanks to Brian for the bits of kit and the excellent advice!
After testing carefully that there were no gas leaks, I fired-up the burners. "All system ready for liftoff. T minus 5." I had to modify the new burner to fit beneath the boiler -- it's stand was too tall, and not needed in any case, since the bench provides its own support for the boiler.
Next the chiller: Finally plumbed in all the necessary fittings for the coolant water, and was ready for testing. My cooling arrangement is a little unorthodox, reflecting both my peculiar circumstance -- no municipal/piped water supply -- and our on-going shortage of rainwater driving our need to conserve every drop.
Cooling water is drawn from the dam near the house, pumped by the already-existing water-pump and pipework. The stuff that waters the veggie garden. After running through the chiller, the water is allowed to drain of via existing drainage back into the dam. Right now the dam is pretty empty, so the water is not as chilly as it should be with a more reasonable depth of water. At least I could establish that the chiller acts as expected with no leaks. T minus 4.
Next up, a cold-water test of all the pipework and the pump. Far better than testing with hot water and discovering that something leaks! Small hold during countdown, here. The pump is a little washing-machine drainage pump, and really quite weak. It has a couple of significant advantages, though: It will happily pump quite large bits of junk along with liquids, which is a very likely scenario when lautering as the mash is quite likely to initially contain bits of grain-husk. Then, too, it is unperturbed by pumping air, provided it is able to self-prime. The only problem with my setup is that the outlet pipe is a bit long, and dips down from the pump, with the result that the pump is prone to developing airlocks which stop it working. It's a problem easily solved, though, and happily caught during testing and not when I have tubs full of rich, hot wort. T minus 3.
Time to find out how well those burners work! 20l of water at 19C in the HLT (Hot Liquid Tank) took around 30 minutes to heat up to 80C. Not bad going, I thought. Pumping the hot water through all the pipes, back and forth between the HLT and the MLT (Mash/Lauter Tank) also served to clean-out any solvents, oils and odd smells from the pipes and pump.
Here's where I discovered the first needed mods to the system. First, there's a bit of clear "plastic" piping joining some plumbing to the pump inlet, and I have strong doubts about its lifetime. I'll have to find a replacement. Second, I need to add a drainage valve to the bottom-most bits of plumbing. right now I have no way to completely drain the whole system, and I don't particularly want to leave water sitting in the pipes -- especially not in the steel parts of the plumbing.
Still, it all seemed to handle hot liquids quite handily. I also learned that, left to its own devices with the stopcock fully open, the pump wants to drain the MLT far too fast. I guess it will be a bit of a learning experience for me to see just where to set that stopcock for a good flow-rate for lautering.
In the process I also learned that I need to preheat the MLT before thinking about starting the mash: The water drops about 10C in temperature just to warm-up the stainless steel tank! T minus 2.
Finally transferred all the water over to the boiler, and fired up the Really Serious Burner. 63C to a full rolling boil in just 13 minutes. Wow! A whole lot of other little concerns got settled along the way. Despite the effectiveness of the burners, the pipes supporting the tanks are easily up to the job, and they don't get significantly hot during a burn -- at least, not hot enough to scorch the wooden frame. Whilst they do get pretty warm, I can still touch them without fear. I was a bit worried that they might bend under the combination of heat and weight. Of course I still have to test them for a full 60- or 90-minute boil under a full 40litre load! but I can have a reasonable degree of confidence that I'm not inviting a disaster. T minus 1 and counting.
Finally, plugged the chiller onto the (still extremely hot) boiler, plugged in the coolant hoses, and let 'er rip. Incoming water (soon to be boiled wort) at a high 90-something C; water falling out into a fermentation vessel: 24C. Good enough for me, and I was really running the coolant water quite slowly. I stopped the coolant water once I was satisfied that the chiller was working well, as I wanted the hot water to clean out any gunk in the chiller copper-inner before I run real wort through it! I do need to figure out a better way of coupling and uncoupling the chiller from the boiler, though. The way I'm doing it now is quite unsatisfactory, and the brass parts probably won't last very long under current conditions.
Now if Vincent at beerkeg.co.za will get his arse in gear and get me my ingredients, we might even have a liftoff!

Rhapsody is a metal outfit composed of Fabio Lione (vocals), Luca Turilli (guitar), Alex Staropoli (keyboards), Alessandro Lotta (bass), and Alex Holzwarth (drums). The group was formed in Italy in the late '90s by Turilli and Staropoli. They recruited Daniele Carbonera to serve as their drummer. The band was already working on a debut, 1997's Legendary Tales, before they connected with Lione (known as Joe Terry during his time in the band Labyrinth), phoning him from the studio...

MotoGP was in Donington Park this weekend for the British GP, and what will be the MotoGP Championship's last stop at the Midlands track for the foreseeable future. Donington proved that not only would this be a finale GP, but also a memorable one. Weather forecasts for the day proved to be accurate with drizzles occurring during racing. Teams gambled on tires, and early ride reports indicated that the British track was very slippery when wet (shocking, we know). The end result was crashes, cold tires, and a podium line-up we're guessing no one expected. Bangers and mash anyone?
MotoGP: Donington Park Does Not Go Gently into the Night – Brings Surprise Finishes & Crashes
This isn't the first time we've compared a MotoGP rider to an elf, troll, warlock, or hobbit, and it won't be the last. Nice pink shirt Randy, next time try vertical stripes.
Shortly after this photo was taken, the woman in the blue dress was scene taking the French rider home in her pocket, slipping him a peanut when he got hungry. Isn't that precious?
Choosing the right umbrella girl is a long and arduous process. It doesn't have to be that way, but why would you want to rush through such a delightful process? And for the Italian GP at Mugello, the role of the umbrella girl is big business. After all, who doesn't like a scantily clad women holding a canopoy more than the Italians?
Getting ready for the GP this weekend, various teams have made a spectacle out of their "talent" search, with competitions and club events looking for Miss Right.

text: The first Wahlburgers franchise outside of Massachusetts is set to open in Coney Island, and people couldn't be happier about it. When the restaurant opened its doors to applicants, they were overwhelmed with hundreds of people standing in line. The new boardwalk restaurant measures over 7,000 feet and can seat up to 300 people, so they are going to need a ton of employees, but chances are not everyone was there just to apply for a job. Some NKOTB and Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch fans probably showed up hoping to catch a glimpse of Donnie and/or Mark Wahlberg, or maybe they were hoping to have an accidental cameo on the restaurant's A&E reality show. Sam Tabar and some CrunchBase members have heard the restaurant is still taking applications for two more days, so the staff of Wahlburgers Coney Island restaurant is sure to have more than enough applications to choose from.

The following line of code works in Powershell 2. It does not work in Powershell 4.
foreach ($acc.DisplayName in $AccountInfo) {$newAccList = $acc.DisplayName + ',' + $NewAccList}
It was changed to this for Powershell 4:
foreach ($acc in $AccountInfo) {$newAccList = $acc.DisplayName + ',' + $newAccList}
The discussion surrounding this line of code is regarding forward-compatibility statements that Powershell 2 is forward-compatible with Powershell 4.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
Specifying the property name you want in the foreach assignment is pointless. I'm surprised powershell 2 allowed it, but my testing confirms that it does. Nevertheless it isn't necessary and doesn't seem to do anything. Take:
powershell -v 2 $items = Get-ChildItem ForEach($item.Name in $items) { $item.Length }
The powershell version 4 code you posted will work just as well in version 2.
The disclaimer is this is not my code – I was surprised that this did work in 2.0, but testing showed it actually did work. My question is really "why did this work in 2.0?" and "what was tightened or changed in 4.0 that made it stop working?"
That's a strange script, maybe there is more to it?
$accountinfo.displayname -join ', '
Could be that Microsoft didn't even realize this "worked" in v2. PowerShell v3 was a pretty major rewrite of the engine (adding the new AST, changing from the CLR to the DLR, etc), so the behavior may have changed without anyone really intending or noticing it.
Yes, there's more to it. It was sent to me to investigate the "forward compatibility issue" so I limited it to just the one line that caused a problem. Merely trying answer the compatibility question to keep to the question posed to me and not perform a code review.
I'm going with never noticed because only one person in the powershell arena would write it like that:D Join was available in 2.0
It may have to do with features introduced in V3 with implicit foreach. In version 2, $service.Name is scalar and appears to have represented the cursor location of $service in $services:
$services = Get-Service foreach ($service.Name in $services){$service.Name}
In version 3 (and above), implicit foreach, will take a referenced object and perform a for loop automatically which could have caused performance issues. It could also just be a bug that was found and patched because as already mentioned, it's poor practice since $service is a placeholder versus an object before you get inside the loop construct. My .02 on the matter, but I don't know if you could get a definitive answer unless it was from the Powershell dev team.
I think, too, that nobody here can really answer your questions of "why" and "what changed." Sadly, we don't have that kind of insight, and can only surmise. I'd suggest opening a ticket on UserVoice, which is where the team monitors.
Perhaps more pointedly, I'd suggest that "it doesn't matter." What is, is. Now, if the question is, "what is the product team policy on forward compatibility," they have a goal of minimizing breaking changes. To the point, in fact, where they've left some goofy stuff lying around solely to not break things. In this case, as others have surmised, I bet they didn't know your 2.0 code even worked, as it's pretty nonstandard programming. So they wouldn't have known they were breaking it. And as Dave mentioned, the rewrite in 3.0 was likely the culprit.
I would say 99% of the time they're either forward compatible or are clear about breaking changes. That doesn't eliminate edge cases like this, though, and it's just my observation. Nobody in the community can make a definitive statement on behalf of the team, and we can only rarely speak to their intentions.
I will provide the feedback re: the programming, and if pressed for more information about forward compatibility, I will open a UserVoice. Thank you to everyone who responded!!

Are mobile banking apps safe?
Around half of us now manage our money online, according to the Office for National Statistics.
These days you don't even need to be at a computer to manage your accounts, you can do it through your smartphone.
Banking applications allow you to pay bills, transfer money and keep an eye on your finances. But are they safe?
Is mobile banking risky?
That really depends on the application. Most internet banking providers invest heavily in the security of their mobile applications.
Stay safe on your mobile
- Never leave your device unlocked
- Keep the apps on your phone regularly updated
- Try not to use unsecured wi-fi networks for banking, purchases or checking your emails
- Take care when downloading apps - if something looks too good to be true, it probably is
- Encrypt your phone
- Check the security settings in your device to ensure maximum protection
These apps often have limitations on the amount of money they can transfer to minimise the risks.
Alternatively, they might require a code from a token or card reader to authorise larger transactions.
Often, doing your banking through your smartphone may be more secure than on a standard computer but there are some exceptions.
The most important thing is to make sure you use the official application for your bank and that you keep it updated.
Check that your bank's mobile app has been validated for its security. Firstly, you should look on the bank's website for their own published statement on how they have validated the security of their app.
If you can't find anything there, look for views from other customers that have used the app. One way to do this is to put the bank's name and 'mobile app' in an internet search engine such as Google to see what views there are of the app.
Are the risks different to normal online banking?
Generally speaking, there is far less nasty stuff targeting smartphones than traditional computers, which in a way makes them more safe.
That said, there are over 650,000 malicious Android applications out there. Many of them are fake banking applications that claim to be official.
Much like a phishing campaign, these applications are put onto various app stores where they wait for users to hand over their banking information.
It is critical that you make sure you install the right banking application.
Check your bank's official website for the latest advice on how to safely download the latest version of their banking app to suit your phone.
What can I do to minimise the dangers of mobile banking?
Staying safe online
Once you start using the application, find the option to be sent a message every time there is a transaction in your account. If your bank sends you an SMS whenever money goes in or out of your account, you can quickly spot if something is wrong.
More generally, switch on your phone's pass code, password or pin security lock so that only you can unlock it every time you go to use your phone.
You should also keep the operating system and apps updated with the latest versions. You can do this in your phone settings.
Getting a phone-tracking app which allows you to erase your data if it gets lost is also an excellent idea.
Are antiviruses needed for smartphones?
Depending on the smartphone operating system, antivirus technology could be a good idea.
Apple iOS for example operates a locked down or 'walled garden' model where only trusted applications can be installed on the device.
There have been examples of malicious applications but they were quickly removed from devices (not just the store) by Apple.
The Android operating system requires appropriate security controls and best practice to keep it safe.
Malware which poses as a legitimate application (or a free version of a commercial application) is very common and often relies on you to download and install it.
You can pick up free antivirus for Android via an app store.
What should you do if you think you've been scammed?
Contact your bank immediately and you can report your case to Action Fraud.
