How to Gather Data for FILExt
By running a small batch file and sending FILExt the output from that file you can help keep the FILExt database up to date and complete. Please help... here's how.
First, download the batch file called filext_filetype.bat from this site. The file is 507 bytes in size. To get the file right click on the link below and choose the option to Save Target As... (or, Save Link As... if using FireFox). FILExt suggests saving the file to the desktop as that puts the output file on the desktop as well and makes finding it easier. When you are finished you can safely delete both the batch file and its output file. (Note: Some firewall programs will ask if you trust this script. So long as you got it from this page and have verified its contents with the listing below the batch file is safe.)
If you wish to see what the commands in the batch file are, feel free to open the file in any text editor and look at it. Please do not make any changes to the file. For reference, here is a copy of what the file should have in it...
Echo OFF CLS assoc > filext_submission_output.txt Echo ---------- >> filext_submission_output.txt ftype >> filext_submission_output.txt Echo Thank you. The output file has been created and Echo named filext_submission_output.txt and it should Echo be in the same place where you saved this batch Echo file. All that is left now is to send that file Echo to FILExt. Attach it to an E-mail sent to the Echo address: [email protected] Echo The E-mail subject should be: Submission Echo Thank you. Pause Exit
To obtain the output, please simply double click on the batch file. A command prompt window should flash open and in very little time display the text message that says the processing is finished and that you should then mail the output to FILExt at a specific address. The output file should be in the same folder as the batch file (or on the Desktop if you followed the suggestion to put the batch file there).
How you attach the output file to a mail message will depend on your mail client program. FILExt can't guide you there; please use the help for your mail client if you do not know how. The address to send the file to is . Place one word in the Subject of the E-mail: Submission. Please do not ask questions or send any other mail or file to that address; it will be filtered and only mail with text attachments with the correct name will be sent on to FILExt, everything else will be automatically discarded (since this address is exposed to collection robots on this page and in the batch file, FILExt anticipates recieving significant amounts of spam and malware at the address making the automatic discarding of such material mandatory).
You are certainly able to look at the file in a text editor before sending it. But, if you do please do NOT save the file in the text editor; just exit without saving and send the file as the batch file created it. If you save the file while in the text editor the lines may have wrapped and it will be saved that way. This makes the file useless and it will just be discarded if it has wrapped lines. That wastes your time and mine.
If you are worried about privacy, please understand that during submission your E-mail address can be associated with the submission and so someone could associate all of the software on your system with a specific E-mail adddress. FILExt has no plans to do this and the attachments will be stripped from the mail and the mail itself deleted as soon as it arrives. Your privacy is important to FILExt and what you have on your specific system is of no interest; how your system associates file types with extensions and programs is what's important and that will be the only data collected. This data will be amassed with other submissions and any individual contributions will not be able to be pulled out of the amassed data as any association with a specific E-mail address is never recorded anywhere. You can see the results of this collection at the bottom of most FILExt results pages.
How to Read the Submission
If interested, you can view the submission in any text editor. The submission is basically a collection of two different Windows commands: "assoc" and "ftype".
The "assoc" command outputs a list of each file extension recorded in the registry followed by the file type associated with that extension. The file type is basically a short name for whatever program is to be run when a file with that particular extension is clicked on in Windows. The output list is alphabetical and is the first half of the submission file.
The Echo command above then adds a divider to the file just to tell FILExt where the "assoc" command output ends and the "ftype" output begins.
The "ftype" command then outputs a list of each file type (short name) and the specific command to run when that file type is activated (by clicking on the associated file extension). This data tells FILExt what program has captured a particular file type and file extension in your system. In most cases, vendors use descriptive folder and file names for their software so in those cases the specific program and folder it is in gives a clear hint which program has captured the file extension. Other users can use this information in their search for programs they might need to open a file with the same file extension.
A typical combined entry might look like this...
ASR.....asrfile....."C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Dreamweaver.exe" "%1"
...and that same information will appear in the FILExt database and be displayed under the appropriate file extension (in the case above, ASR).
While it looks odd, there is a significant amount of data in that line. It basically tells you that on some systems the .ASR file extension will be called an "asrfile" and will be associated with the program Dreamweaver MX 2004 made by the company Macromedia. Fortunately, many companies put executable files into a path that often gives you both the name of the program and the name of the company. Even if that data is not present in the pathname you can often get additional information by running a Google search on the .EXE file name itself.
Some entries will have following data such as the "%1" above. These are parameters fed to the program (e.g., often %1 will mean the name of the file clicked on) and these entries can be ignored for the most part.
Some entries will have variables as part of the path to the .EXE file. The two most common are:
- %SystemRoot% which symbolically represents the path to your Windows folder, and
- %ProgramFiles% which symbolically represents the path to your Program File folder.
Some entries will show a shortened version of a folder name. For example, C:\PROGRA~1\ is a short name for the C:\Program Files\ folder. Back in the old days of MS-DOS files and folders were limited to names no longer than eight characters before the period and three characters after (summarized as 8.3 format). Windows maintains compatibility with that restriction and any file/folder names longer than 8.3 format are shortened. There are rules for this shortening process but basically, the rootname of the file is shortened to six characters and then ~1 is added to that for the first instance of that six characters. If there is a duplicate six character name then you'd see ~2 added and ~3 if there are two duplicates.
Some entries will not reference a specific file name but, instead a CLSID of the form {f39a0dc0-9cc8-11d0-a599-00c04fd64433} is seen. The CLSID is an ActiveX class identifier and each ActiveX class, whether it is a compound document object, an ActiveX control or some other class of ActiveX module, is assigned a unique CLSID.The unique string used for each CLSID is called a globally unique identifier, or GUID, and programmers use a utility called Guidgen.exe to generate the number. CLSIDs are stored as 16-byte values and appear as long strings of numbers enclosed in braces. Each CLSID takes the form of 8, 4, 4, 4 and 12 hex digits separated by hyphens. The CLSID is yet another shorthand name for something that Windows uses and it is unique to whatever it references. To find a specific association between a CLSID and a program or process you need to look in the registry. One site that attempts to list CLSIDs and what they refer to is http://www.sysinfo.org/bholist.php.
Finally, some entries will point to seemingly the same program, perhaps multiple times. Since an exact match routine is used when analyzing submissions any differences will result in a separate entry. These can be caused by different language versions of Windows (e.g., English versions use C:\Program Files\ while Italian versions use C:\Programmi\), different versions of a program, or other minor differences. These are being left in the database as they can point to the various versions of a program that uses a file extension and give some indication of how long that program has been using that extension (e.g., older versions of Paint Shop Pro used .PSP and while newer versions still read that file, they write .PSPImage files by default instead).

Sunday lunch was our first meal with some of our gourmet friends who arrived early to help us prepare dinner (us, the Pinauds, the Bizeuls)
1 Blanc de Bret brothers 2003, appellation Viré Clessé La Verchère, a gift from Patrick to perfect, it seems, my education… We followed by a Clos Vougeot 1992 from Leroy, quite tired when we opened it, then after 5 minutes, by a miracle, it opened up in the glasses. It is quite a good wine, especially when you think about this vintage. I still have 5 bottles which I will most likely sell for they will fetch between 180 and 200 Euros. This will allow me to buy a number of good bottles. We brilliantly ended this lunch with a bottle of Latour 1955 from Pomerol which is what is best in Pomerol in this great vintage (year of birth of Martine and Murielle). The wine started to weaken after 20 minutes, but what a wine! It is obvious that the bottle had only traveled between the previous owner and us.
Sunday evening, Everybody was present except 2 couples friends, therefore, we were 10 (with the Ambayracs and the Quérons).
1 magnum of champagne Duval le Roy 1998 Chardonnay Blanc very good, 2 half bottles d'Yquem 1997: Il love this wine (as well as everyone else), ripe, opulent without being heavy
1 Meursault Bouches-Chères 2004 from Buisson Charles which allowed us to go from Yquem to Petrus (sorry for so little !).
1 Petrus 1990 to silence people wanting to bad mouth this icon: The wine was perfect, great maturity. At this level, the only thing we regretted is not to have gone a bit wild, but it is not our style… Our love (Murielle and I) for great wines started with a Petrus 1955, we drank in 1982 in Montpon Ménestrol in the Petit Prince, this will always be a special wine for us!
We followed by l'Eglise Clinet 1990, perfect, still a bit young, very different wine than the first one, lighter, spicier, certainly the Cabernet Francs give the elegance to this wine.
After, THE bottle of the evening: 1 Latour 1982 which was remarkable all around: Pauillac at the beginning of maturity… a magnum would have been necessary. The oven roasted grass-fed lamb with Herbes de Provence and garlic transformed this wine into an absolute delight. Well, I am not going to promote Latour (who doesn't need me for that).
1 Le Pin 2004 not to compete with Latour 1982 and to please, in thought, our friend Alain and treat our gourmet family. This wine makes you love wine, even for someone who has never tasted it (and it is my inspiration to make Valandraud), drank quickly and with greediness, a sexy wine par excellence.
After midnight, the first bottle of Maury 2004 served with chocolates and the Basques cakes from Lopez, which, after so many incredible wines, held up correctly its new place and makes me think that our 500 cases of 6 won't have any problems converting amateurs who don't know the Maury appellation. There you are for our New Years eve dinner, with as it is customary, oysters, foie gras, salmon, gambas, leg of lamb with baby vegetables, Brie with truffle, desert, etc.. All of that without being sick or too tired.
Vive home cooking and great wines!
For lunch on Monday, before our last 3 hard core guests couples left (Bizeul, Pinaud, Ambayrac):
1 Meursault les Chevalières from Bernard Boisson Vadot : good, ripe, balanced, a bit closed
1 Sancerre d'Alphonse Mello Edmond 2001, superb
1 Chochu, Japanese alcool made with rice, aged in our Valandraud barrels, superb with salmon (too bad we didn't have caviar)
Followed by Flor de Pingus 2003 as a thought to Peter Sisseck
And at least, a wine from the house: Valandraud 1998, which is actually our favorite wine.

Longevity. Its a word that seems to have fallen by the wayside in todays music scene, where ringtone sales equate relevance and the success of a single depends on a catchy dance step to accompany it.Roger King T McBride has been around long enough to see a whole lot change in Hip-Hop, and has learned enough to realize that good music will always stand the test of time. With 2008 marking the two decades since the delivery of his timeless debut album Act A Fool, its remarkable that the Compton native plans to keep the legacy alive with a new solo album in the near future.So the question is, can one of the godfathers of West Coast gangsta rap still drop a record and capture the ears of the next generation? With a new production team lined up and the help of some old friends, King T certainly thinks so. In the middle of shaping up to hit the road with his Likwit family and clocking hours in the lab to ready his new project, the Old English OG kicked back to reminisce on days of old and air out whoever profited off some of his more recent material.AllHipHop.com: Whats good with the Alkaholik Don these days? Its been a few years since we heard from you. Are you feeling rejuvenated for any particular reason?King T: A little bit. I got excited for a minute because I thought we was getting ready to work on this Likwit Crew album, but that kind of got put on hold for right now. Theres a lot of things going on. Tha Alkaholiks is getting ready to go on tour, and I might go out on a couple of dates with them. Xzibit is shooting a couple of movies, so everything with the album kind of got put on hold. But it did get me enthused to get in the studio and start working on a new project for myself so thats a good thing.AllHipHop.com: A lot of people got excited when E-Swift recently said a Likwit Crew album was in the works. There were issues with people needing to clear it with labels and make sure they were getting paid. Is all that red tape out of the way now?King T: As far as that, yeah. Right now its like everybody is on their own thing, but its gonna go down. Ive got a good feeling that its going down, but we really want to get Xzibit on the project and hes real busy right now. I guess Im still a little unsure about it, but I really hope it goes down.AllHipHop.com: Now that youre back in the studio, hows everything sounding and whats the vibe like on this new material?King T: It took me a couple of years, but I finally put together a real cool production team, including myself. Ive been working on my production skills and Ive got a few brothers of mine coming into the fold, and were gonna just put it together and do it all ourselves. It might have a DJ Kool track, or a Battlecat or Fredwreck track, but most of the album is going to be in-house production.AllHipHop.com: So youre hoping to rock a few dates on Tha Liks new tour. When was the last time you actually got on stage and did your thing?King T: Wow, its been a minute. But you know, Im hitting the gym now and getting in shape. Im feeling good, ready to bring the bar on stage and be the bartender (Laughs). Back in the day it was like an everyday thing, wed be drinking and smoking, and Id have something to do the next day all blown out. But now, Im getting old man, you know? (Laughs)AllHipHop.com: On that note, youre celebrating the 20th anniversary of Act A Fool at the end of this year. Thats quite an achievement in itself for any artist whos still relevant and making music. Any plans for commemorating that pinnacle in your career?King T: Thats been a part of my enthusiasm of coming back. I wanted to bring that back to some of these young cats ears, cause what we was doing like 20 years ago was kind of on the same tip of whats going on now. But a lot of these young cats dont know about it. Plus I wanted to show my skills and that Ive still got it, that I can take some of these new cats and ball em up. I dont want to sound like my egos all big, but I want to get back out there with just more albums. We might even call it Act A Fool Part 2 or something like that. 20 Years in the Making.AllHipHop.com: Since its release thereve been a lot of artists who have paid homage in one way or another, whether it was adopting the slang or reusing some of the breaks. Has that been something you paid attention to?King T: I definitely paid attention. Let me say that me and [DJ] Pooh, weve been real lucky. We showed that we really had a love for Hip-Hop, because when we did Act A Fool, we was on some gangsta s**t, but also Hip-Hop s**t. We tried to do some boom-bap type s**t instead of the regular that was going on. Instead of doing what Eazy-E and N.W.A and all them was doing, we tried to do something different and keep it a little more on the Hip-Hop tip. And people recognized that, telling me all the time that it was some cool s**t, which Ive been thankful for over the last 20 years man.AllHipHop.com: Aside from the music, that albums cover really stands out. Its a pretty powerful image, and you continued the trend on the albums that followed. What do you think looking back at that first one?King T: Artists have got a little more freedom these days, but we was kind of the first to bring s**t like that with the gangsta image. Especially the West Coast type, the guy on the cover walking with the 12 gauge, with the hat on and the ride. It was one of the first, and it was just classic for us.AllHipHop.com: When was the last time you spoke to DJ Pooh or Breeze?King T: I talk to Breeze all the time, hes getting in some management and production too. Hes managing a couple of R&B artists, and hes still got skills on the mic. He might represent on the new album too. Pooh? Cmon man, hes doing his thing. Hes off in the film, hes doing production. I think hes the consulting producer for the Boondocks cartoon, video games. Hes been doing his thing for the longest.AllHipHop.com: I was watching the At Your Own Risk video the other day, it was dope how Ice T and Cube were judging you for going Pop at the beginning. Is that ironic to you looking back, with them having become such iconic figures in popular culture?King T: Yeah, its real funny to me. I was young back then, and I just loved music period. So if it was Hip-Hop and it sounded good to me, lets do it. If we gonna make some money, lets do it. A lot of other people looked at that s**t a lot of different ways, but I didnt care because I just loved the music. I didnt realize that it was going to be like this, you know what Im saying? We were just doing s**t. Ice Cube, thats the homie. Ice T, we used to live in the same building. He was like my manager for a long while, on my first three albums with Capitol. That was my manager! So it was always just like Lets make music.[King T "At Your Own Risk"]
AllHipHop.com: For a minute there in the late 90s it really did seem like you were posed to be the next mainstream artist representing the West, being one of the first artists signed to Aftermath. Tracks you did with Dr. Dre like Money and 6 Ina Moenin for Thy Kingdom Come still sound as good today as they did 10 years ago.King T: That experience that I got rolling with Dre, being able to hang and do things with him was just phenomenal. I know so many secrets now about production and recording, making s**t sound good and the type of beats to pick to fit the mood or your voice. With things like that, its just incredible and I thank that brother to this day. I have to let it be known that Thy Kingdom Come never really came out. A lot of people talk about it and say it never really did s**t, but that album never really came out. What came out was a bootleg that somebody put out, whether they was with Aftermath or they got a hold of the tape or whatever, but that wasnt the real album. The real album, boy if you could have heard it it was crazy. But thats the main ingredient and formula that were going to incorporate into this new King T album, and its going to be phenomenal.AllHipHop.com: So youre saying what did get released as Thy Kingdom Come, you never caked up off of that at all?King T: Hell naw, nothing. Dre took care of a brother, but I got nothing from that. I dont know how it got leaked out, and it could have been anything. The tracks that did get leaked out did sound good, even though some were unmixed, but Im thankful that people were digging that and Im gonna keep it going. Going down in the neighbourhood, everybody is talking about Speak On It. Im like How did yall hear about that? And theyre giving me this CD with a chicken on it, with some motherf***ing diamond rings on, and Im like What the f**k is this? As if Im gonna be like King Jive Turkey or some s**t. Dres calling me like, Yo man, whats going on? and Im asking him the same question, wondering whos making money off my s**t. But its all good, it got put out there for a reason and I think motherf***ers wanted to hear it anyway. I still got love for Dre, and youll probably hear a couple of Dre tracks on the new album. I really shouldnt be speaking on it, but its a possibility.AllHipHop.com: Its funny, the last interview you did was years back. They asked you about Detox and you said you thought Dre was, trying to come quick with this one. King T: (Laughs) S**t, and now it seems like it aint never gonna come out, huh? Well, I guess hes really detoxing like a motherf***er (Laughs).But yeah, everybodys waiting on it and hopefully I can get on it. Im waiting on that call, so more blessings to him.AllHipHop.com: You guys all got together for Xzibits birthday party in Vegas a few months back, and it got me wondering. Seeing as youre approaching the big 4-0, do you still wild out at the clubs like you used to or have you been making some lifestyle changes now that youre getting older.King T: Naw, I cant do it like they do it. Im on a diet now and everything. But dont get it twisted. I can still drink you under the table, but not like I used to do. I used to do a lot of s**t back in the day. I used to fall out on stage if you dont remember (Laughs). Now you see these young cats on the videos talking about getting faded and smoking big chronic and all that. Man, if they only knew how we used to do. The Likwit Crew are the kings of partying. What other crew got a bar on stage?But Ive definitely slowed it down. Im married now, I have four kids. Well actually more, but four with me here. Im a grown man now, and Im doing grown man things. I done put the kiddie s**t to the side, and its really time to get down to business. Im just thankful and grateful for everything thats happened over the last 20 years and I cant complain about nothing. Im loving all the young cats thats coming out, and that Hip-Hop is still here. Im grateful that I was a part of bringing it to the West, so the young cats could do they thing. Youve got Young Maylay and Young Dre, those are my aces. Glasses Malone and Bishop Lamont, Im feeling those kids. Crooked I, thats my dog. Just the whole New West Im really feeling, I could go on and on. The whole movement is sounding hot, and weve just got to find a new way to get back in there and bring it back to the West.[King T "Dippin'"]

Intel is set to launch their new Kaby Lake processors at CES 2017 on January 5, but reports are coming in claiming that the dual-core Core i3-7350K won't be part of the company's launch lineup. The unlocked Core i3 CPU, rumored a while back, is apparently delayed by several weeks.
Intel Core i3-7350K offers Quad-core i5 levels of Performance
In the past, we have seen Intel releasing K-series of their Core i5 and Core i7 CPU ranges; however that is going to change with the first of its kind Core i3-7350K. The dual-core, four thread Kaby Lake chip comes with high out-of-the-box clock speed, offering an impressive gaming solution to extreme value-conscious consumers.
Built using Intel's 14nm Plus process, the Core i3-7350K features a 4GHz base clock and a 4.2GHz turbo frequency. We can expect enthusiasts to even tune it up to a steady 5GHz with minimal effort thanks to the overclocking friendly unlocked multiplier.
Early benchmarks for the 7350K show the CPU achieving the same levels of performance as a quad-core i5 processor of the same price. The Kaby Lake i3 chip hits a single-core score of 5137 which is significantly faster than any stock Core i5 out there.
The chip also scores impressive 10048 points in multi-core performance to come on par with the Core i5-6400 and i5-4670K.
Moreover, the Core i3-7350K features 4MB of L3 cache with a TDP rated at 91W. In terms of the pricing, the chip is rumored to retail for $177.
Core i3-7350K Not Launching On Jan.5, Delayed by Several Weeks
The Japanese tech news site Hermitage Akihabara reports that the new Kaby Lake chips for desktops and notebooks have already arrived in shops, but certain models including Intel's only "innovative" product Core i3-7350K, are absent from the lineup.
This indicates that the unlocked Core i3 CPU will not be going up for sale alongside the rest of Intel's 7th-generation processors on Jan. 5. Apparently, Intel is delaying the launch of the 7350K as well as its entry-level Celeron and Pentium families of processors by several weeks.
This could be to prevent the small yet powerful chip to simply eat through Intel's Core i5-7400 sales, at least in early days of launch. While the i3-7350K could cannibalize the i5 chip when it launches, Intel might have deemed the move necessary in the face of renewed competition from AMD Ryzen processor in 2017.

Getting youth excited about trails
We all know that it's beneficial to get kids outside and article after article will tell you about the benefits of being outdoors. Which begs the question: as community partners, how can we help encourage youth to get outside on trail?
One way to answer this question is to follow in the path of the Baille Ard Recreation Association and head right to the schools themselves!
How did Baille Ard accomplish this? They worked tirelessly at creating ready-to-use activities based off Nova Scotia curriculum and partnered with afterschool programs.
Why create curriculum-based activities?
With a strong contingent of members who have a background in education, Baille Ard Recreation recognized how much time children spent in school but understood that if they wanted to bring classrooms onto their trails they needed to show how these activities fit within the curriculum and they needed to make them easy to use.
The extensive and detailed collection of activities, which can all be found on the Baille Ard website, have done exactly this for the teachers of Sydney. They can quickly browse, explore and print off activities across all grade levels, which in turn saves them time and makes it easy to show how everything fits with their curriculum.
Baille Ard quickly realized that by saving educators time and demonstrating curricular outcomes they would increases the likelihood of schools visiting, and more importantly, re-visiting their trails every year!
How can activities be developed?
If you're looking to find some partners to get this process started, you can follow Baille Ard's approach and go directly to the experts in your community. Try to find experienced local teachers who know the curriculum, know the trails and who know the community involved.
If you have some educators on board and are looking into creating some activities but not sure where to get started, St. FX has begun offering teachers an Outdoor Leadership Educational Leadership Certificate, Project Wild has excellent resources in both French and English and the Outdoor Council of Canada has programs for teachers as well.
How Baille Ard has partnered with after school programs
On top of all the work they've done to include classrooms on their trails, Baille Ard has created a unique partnership with an after school drama club at a neighbouring school.
What started out as a way for the club to enjoy nature, boost creativity and be active after a day in school has turned into something much bigger. The drama club has started to put on plays right on the trails and have brought in students from across Sydney to watch them perform.
If there's a school nearby it might be worthwhile to see what after school programs they offer – you never know where that first conversation might lead and who you might introduce to your trails!
Added benefits of activities and partnerships?
As Baille Ard continued to grow their network and created new activities they began to see the added benefits their association received from the partnerships they were forming:
- As they began inviting groups onto their trails for a presentation or activity it encouraged them to develop an activity that they could use in the future. It forced them to really think about what's on the trail that's of interest as they come up with ideas for activities.
- It's introduced them to a variety of experts and allowed them to form relationships with everyone from teachers to bird-watchers to local naturalists!
- It's enabled them to rethink the values of activities they've used in the past and how they can reuse them for different age-groups and partnerships as they look to introduce more people to their trails.
When you really look closely, children are spending a big chunk of their time in school. Most school-aged youth spend close to six hours a day in classrooms, which works out to about 30 hours per week.
So if you're looking for ways to engage youth on your trails, approaching nearby schools is a great place to start!
While the Baille Ard Recreation Association was lucky enough to have some educators on board, they've laid out a solid foundation for groups looking follow in their path:
1) Curriculum-based activities can be a great tool to get classrooms to come explore your trails. They provide a clear link between getting outside and education and make it easier on teachers to justify spending time outside
2) Seek out opportunities to involve afterschool programs with your trails. After school clubs are as popular as they've ever been. Taking the opportunity to encourage clubs to use your trails can foster great partnerships between your trails and volunteers in the school.
3) Use every activity and partnership as a chance to reflect! As you create new activities or partnerships always take a moment to think back on what made past instances so successful.

When I said onstage that I had personally experienced things I in fact did not, I failed to honor the contract I'd established with my audiences over many years and many shows. In doing so, I not only violated their trust, I also made worse art.
This is not the place for me to try and explain my good intentions. We all know where the road paved with good intentions leads. In fact, I think it might lead to where I'm sitting right now.

Top Tips And Techniques To Polish Your Football Skills
Looking to be better at football? This post can help. You grow as both a person and a player when you keep learning all you can about the game. Keep reading to get a different perspective and to learn some great techniques you can use on the football field.
Concentrate on developing agility skills if you want to be a successful football player. Tackling and running are important parts of the equation, but agility is what sets you apart. Increase your agility by jumping rope, repeating precision jumps over small objects, and sprinting through tires in alternating patterns.
Work on your endurance as a football player, along with all your other training. Ultimately, it doesn't matter how good you are in your position, if you can't be at your best from kickoff until the last second ticks off the clock. Train and practice hard, and keep your endurance on a professional level.
Practice your perseverance and inner strength. It may seem weird, but it's very important! A football(fotballturer) game is surprisingly long when you're playing it. There will be times your body is ready to give up. There will be other times that you're just mentally exhausted. You need to practice pushing through these moments. Remember your team needs you, so persevere and be there.
Never take the field without a helmet. Each season, your helmet should be inspected thoroughly. The plastic shell should not have any cracks in it and the padding must be in good condition. It should also have a face mask that properly attaches to the helmet and a chin strap that fastens securely. All this is to be sure to prevent head injuries during play.
When playing, look for dehydration signs. One that is an easy one to spot is the color of your urine. If it's a darker color then you are more than likely suffering from dehydration right then. You'll need to take immediate action. Drink water asap, and make sure you keep hydrated from then on out.
You will never achieve your goals by being lazy. When you skip a practice, don't work out, eat the wrong things or allow your mind to wander, you will end up a loser. If you would rather be a winner, focus on your goals and do what it takes to achieve them.
If your child wants to play football but you are concerned about injuries, consider flag football. This is like regular football, except the players wear flags which hang from their pockets or pants. A flag can be a towel, a piece of cloth or a rag. A player pulls a player's flag to stop him instead of tackling him, making it safer to play.
Learn the proper way to hold a football(fotballreiser) when throwing. When you throw the football, your pinkie and ring fingers should cross the laces and your thumb should be underneath the ball. The palm of your hand should not make contact with the ball. Hold the ball loosely and point your feet towards your intended target.
There isn't a single person who enjoys not doing the right thing when playing football. Nonetheless, these things happen. Use what you have learned to be the best player you can be. You'll feel better about your own talents, and learning boosts confidence. Sponsored By reiseshop.

8 Proven Signs She's Interested In You
She Plays With Her Hair
Dating can be hard for men because they aren't very good at picking up signs. In fact, if they do see a sign, they probably don't know what that sign means. A female playing with her hair, however, is one sign most men are taught to look for. You have to make sure it's a flirt though. Gentle movements, such as mindlessly twirling a strand around her finger or running her fingers through it slowly are signs that she's very interested. Quick, jerky movements indicate that she's embarrassed or impatient, especially when paired with wandering eyes. This may also mean she's uncertain about you.

1928 Fro-Joy Ice Cream Babe Ruth Complete Set (6)
Starting Bid - $200, Sold For - $1,067
Rarely seen complete set of AUTHENTIC 1928 Fro-Joy Ice Cream cards! During a single week in 1928 (August 6th-11th) Fro-Joy Ice Cream issued this six-card set, with each of the six cards featuring Babe Ruth. The 2-1/16 x 4 inch cards features black-and-white Ruth photos, with captions, on the fronts and Fro-Joy advertising on the backs. One of the problems for collectors that has developed over the past twenty-five years is that for some reason literally millions of reprint Fro-Joy cards and sheets have been printed and are circulating. It's gotten to the point where it's hard to go to a flea market and not see them, and collectors are now so wary of the issue, and confused by the many different printings of the reproductions, that they now tend to just shy away from the set completely. Who can blame them? Some grading companies have even stopped grading Fro-Joy Ice Cream cards! In the 1970s, before there were any Fro-Joy reprints, a single card could cause a riot at a card convention. No one had them! They were so rare that most collectors didn't even know what they looked like. An exciting find of a couple of hundred authentic cards in the late 1970s satisfied the demand from the most advanced collectors, but someone got the idea that this would be a great set to reproduce. Soon after reprints became so common that Fro-Joys understandably began to get a bad reputation. As time passed, some of these reproductions even had some age to them, confusing collectors all the more. Since the 1980s it appears that the printing presses have never stopped running on the reprints, both for individual cards and sheets. There are millions of them! But there also exist a small number of authentic examples. Their value remains modest due to their unique history. Fro-Joys are a rare case that, if there were no reprints, they would be extremely valuable, but demand has been tempered solely by the dangers of getting a reprint instead of an original (which in this day and age really is the norm, not the exception). The offered examples are originals. Interestingly, they were purchased by our consignor's brother in the late 1970s, while attending the big early card conventions in the Detroit area, and may well have been part of the big find of approximately 200 originals. (Jay Barry was an extremely prominent Detroit area collector who was one of the five or six collectors who split the find. Our consignor's brother dealt with Jay Barry, and our guess is that they were purchased from him.) The condition is relatively modest, overall Good to Very Good, with several cards exhibiting a possible slight trim or miscut. Even though the market, for the reasons stated, dramatically discounts Fro-Joy Ice Cream cards, we thought it was exciting to find an original, authentic set. This hardly ever happens. We are offered reprints all the time, practically every day, so this was really an event at REA! Even though they may be of a relatively modest value compared to what these cards would sell for if there were no reprints, we are excited to present them, and at the same time to take the opportunity to document the very unusual and perhaps unique story represented by Fro-Joy Ice Cream cards. Total: 6 cards. Reserve $200. Estimate (open).

Education system in the United Kingdom
Secondary school
There are government-funded schools and private schools in the UK. Course fees of public schools are relatively affordable with a wide range of subject options. Private schools provide a more customized education and quality service. Generally public schools do not accept international students below the age of sixteen. There are approximately 2500 private schools providing the secondary school curriculum to international students aged thirteen or above. Most private schools offer student dormitory accomodation and most of them are funded by tuition fees and donations.
Higher education
Higher education is a programme which allows students to undertake a bachelor's degree or a teaching qualification. Higher education institutions include universities, higher education institutes, institutes of education, and colleges of art and design, which are designed for students aged eighteen or above. Students are offered a diploma, bachelor's degree, master's degree or doctoral degree.
Academic year
The school year begins in September or October, and ends in June or July of the following year. The school year is generally divided into three terms. A Master's degree program normally lasts for 12 months.

I've always been a nature gal. Odd as it may, being born and bred in the city. The allure of leaving everything behind and moving to an ethereal place has a very unique and powerful appeal to me.
My farm will be located in a high area in the mountains where forest, plains and natural bodies of water collide. At the center of it all will be my beautiful but very functional log cabin… much like the photo below.
I will rise up at the crow of the rooster just as the sun is shining and enjoy a cup of rich, warm coffee on my porch watching the dew glisten on the grass while listening to the steady stream of water flowing downhill with my best pal, Max, at my side.
Oh wait! Screech!!! Back to reality!
That is what I want to happen! OK, I'll admit, that is what I'm desperate to achieve!!!
Where I sit now, though is a non-ergonomic chair (with an achy back) at the 6th level of a corporate building in the middle of the metro, drinking an ice cold tumbler of water. I'm yet to get to that dream of mine. Right now, I live in a small house with my mother, sister, nephew and niece, right in the middle of the city. But… but… but!!! This won't stop me from making this dream a reality, NOW! I am making small steps towards my dream, from a blank piece of paper to a full pledged bed-and-breakfast homestead. I will start small, believing that one day, soon, the Lord will honor my dream and make it a reality.
Until next post…
Your cheeky farm girl

"Nivico" guitar, I don't think it IS a Teisco, despite the push button pickup selector switches and the large expanse of metal on the face of the body. However, I'm happy to be proven wrong if you have any information on this instrument and have seen, played or even own(ed) one like it. The plate beneath the tailpiece is an oddity - it looks as if there should have been a vibrato arm here, but there are no holes in the plate so I'm guessing that this is a non-original later replacement.
This guitar is currently listed on eBay with a starting bid of $260.

This card will be submitted into the 10 Minute Craft Dash hosted by Pretty Pink Posh. Since this week's challenge is being sponsored by Lawn Fawn, I decided to use the Lawn Fawn circle dies and one of my favorite Lawn Fawn stamp sets, Flying By. It will also be entered into the Lawnscaping Challenge.
I'm actually not sure if the color of my sun matches the yellow (or is it light brown?) that was assigned to us, but it's all I got! Hope it passes!
I finished the card in 9 minutes and 48 seconds. I would've finished a lot sooner, but I was trying to fix a glitter brush accident...that glitter glob by the paper airplane shouldn't be there, so clearly I didn't succeed.
At least this card is better than my first attempt in the craft dash.
Hehehe! It's good to laugh at ourselves every once in a while, right?
Thanks for stopping by!

There were supporting statements from blue-chip corporate names such as Rolls-Royce on this side of the English Channel and EDF and Areva on their side of la Manche. All was fusion.
But behind the political smiles lies an increasingly tense reality which throws into question everything the Coalition is trying to achieve in its National Policy Statement on energy, approved by Parliament in July.
The are several risks, none of which Friday's Franco-British summit addressed.
The first is Sarkozy losing the French presidential elections being held in April and May. That risk is extremely high and French ambitions for spending on UK nuclear may look rather different under Francois Hollande, the socialist challenger in poll position to oust Sarkozy.
Investments in up to four new UK nuclear sites are planned by EDF which in turn is 83pc owned by the French government. The spending starts with Hinkley Point C, home to two new nukes, which will require €10bn (£8bn).
Current EDF boss, Henri Proglio, is bosom pals with Sarkozy who got him the job in the first place. Hollande can be expected to replace Proglio with his own person whose views on overseas nuclear expansion may be very different to Proglio's.
Will France, supposedly sticking to eurozone austerity plans under Hollande, want to invest €10bn in the UK when its own appetite for new nuclear looks replete?
EDF, being a state controlled business, follows the same path in credit ratings as the French government (down). Will it afford the necessary cash, especially given a separate €10bn bill it must meet for a nuclear spring clean at home post Fukushima? Its balance sheet looks stretched.
There's plenty of risk emanating from the UK too. There is still no detail of how much nuclear investors, such as EDF, will get for the power from their new plants. There is a promise of a guaranteed price calculated through a complex instrument called a contract for difference (you, dear reader, will end up underwriting the guarantee through your bills to avoid accusations of state subsidy). But no one knows what this price will be. When and how can this be communicated to EDF so it can commit funds to start building in time for planned switch on in 2018, a date that now looks fanciful.
EDF's (junior) partner in the UK is Centrica, not owned by the Government but by concerned shareholders who may well start to question the company's investment in nuclear plans which, if they materialise at all, risk being late and less ambitious than before.
Centrica reveals 2011 results next week and, amid the usual hand ringing about British Gas profits, a reassessment of its nuclear future may be required by investors. Management might need to reassure the City that its nuclear ambitions remain on track to create expected returns.
I don't have space to detail a similar set of worries about RWE and EON, the German power companies which the Coalition are relying on to build further nukes on Anglesey. Suffice it to say RWE's shares have slumped 60pc in five years (including a 37pc fall in the past 12 months) to leave its entire market value at just €19bn, tiny in terms of the nuclear industry.
Nuclear is desperately important to the UK, but we lost our technological lead in this area decades ago, hence our reliance on France. The final blow was Gordon Brown's decision to sell the Government's Westinghouse reactor design business to Toshiba in 2006 for £3.1bn.
There is much at stake. The EDF Hinkley Point C project alone could transform the British hi-tech supply chain with an estimated 25,000 being employed on both sides of the Channel plus 5,600 at the site alone at its construction peak. There are already 700 people here and in France working on the preliminary preparations. But the key decisions on the UK's nuclear future will not be taken here, but in France, a country which has at least tried to develop an industrial policy over the past 50 years, unlike Britain which still doesn't have one.
Positive signals from across the Atlantic
Back at the end of October I wrote about the S&P 500 which was having one of its strongest Octobers on record. The point being, strong Octobers have often preceded a strong following year.
Since then the index is up 5.8pc. So far so good. But on a longer time scale, the S&P is up 100pc since its March 2009 low post the Lehmans-inspired credit crisis. America's most recent economic data now appear to be justifying this optimism.
Crisis, what crisis?

20 Jun Childish Gambino Announces 'Pharos' Show in Joshua Tree
As if Spiderman and new music teasers with Chance the Rapper weren't sufficient, Childish Gambino AKA Donald Glover took to Twitter to release news about a show in Joshua Tree in line with new app Pharos. The app contains a countdown timer, which we all know is 2016's hint that some hot shit is coming.
Donald Glover will be performing a "full album experience" in Joshua Tree, California on September 2, 3, and 4. Fans who buy a $99 ticket are told to bring a tent to take advantage of the on site camping.
It's been 3 years since Gambino's full length album Because the Internet dropped, so we expect this to be huge.

Robert Isaacs has put this technology to good use with NaClBox, a version of DOSBox How To Get Old DOS Computer Games To Run On Windows 7 How To Get Old DOS Computer Games To Run On Windows 7 Read More that runs in Google's Chrome browser. The project is a little over a year old and has recently launched a closed beta for the site's most exciting feature – the ability to upload your own DOS games and store them in the cloud.
Today we'll be looking at what NaClBox can already do and grabbing a sneak peek of the closed beta that will be expanding "very soon", according to Robert.
Playing DOS Games in Chrome
While Google has not yet enabled Native Client by default in the stable release of Chrome, you can still try it out without installing the experimental builds. Applications hosted in the Chrome Web Store are able to use it without any tweaking, so the easiest way to get started with the emulator is to add the NaClBox application from the store.
The other way to do it is by enabling Native Client in your browser:
- In Chrome's address bar type about:flags and hit Enter.
- Find "Native Client" and click Enable.
- Restart your browser.
Once you have done this, head over to the NaClBox Gallery to peruse available games. At the time of writing, there are 18 DOS applications ready to run including full games, shareware titles and the AdLib tracker Making 8bit Music: An Introduction to Free Chiptune Music Trackers Making 8bit Music: An Introduction to Free Chiptune Music Trackers Here are all the tools you need to create your own chiptune music. Read More for composing music. Titles in the gallery require virtually no input from you in order to run, simply click the "play" button, approve the app and watch the magic unfold. If you run into trouble, you probably haven't installed the NaClBox application or enabled NaCl in your browser above.
Depending on your operating system, you may want to customise the controls based on your game of choice – on Mac OS X, I found games that use the Control key a lot to be problematic as the combination of Ctrl + arrow keys switch between spaces (virtual desktops) on OS X. Controls are customised on a per-game basis, from within each app's preferences.
Some great titles include Duke Nukem I and II, Epic Pinball and the first game Robert uploaded, a demo version of The Secret of Monkey Island. Be aware that while playing the games in the gallery that save data will not be there should you return to the site at a later date, a limitation that is overcome with My NaClBox.
Playing Your Own Games
"My NaClBox" is the name of the site's most exciting (and long awaited) feature – your own cloud-based DOS emulator that retains the games you upload, your preferences and most importantly save games. At the moment, this portion of the site is in closed beta, with Robert hard at work on "dynamic recompilation for playing more CPU intensive games". I've been told he hopes to expand it soon, which means you might want to register your interest if you like emulators and contributing feedback to exciting projects. If this sounds like you head over to the My NaClBox homepage for more information.
I've been lucky to gain access to the beta and I've tested it out with a few of my favourite Apogee titles, Terminal Velocity and Rise of the Triad as well as Frontier, the sequel to Elite. It's basically one big DOSBox in the cloud, albeit with a fairly smooth upload process. New applications are added by clicking Add Application in the left-hand menu, entering a name and clicking Create. From here's it's a case of clicking Add Files which opens an upload interface, choosing your game's folder and uploading. I'd recommend you choose a suitably short filename – this is DOS after all – so for Terminal Velocity I chose "terminal" and Rise of the Triad I chose "rott".
Once you've uploaded your folder then you can hit Play Game (or Configuration to adjust CPU speed, frame-skipping and other performance tools) which launches a rather plain looking DOSBox window. Unlike the desktop version of DOSBox which requires that you map a drive (e.g. C:\) to a location, NaClBox uses your current application as the C:\ drive, and any folders you uploaded are available using standard DOS commands. So to launch Rise of the Triad I typed "cd rott" and hit enter followed by "setup" to select a sound card (remember: it's always a Sound Blaster on DOSBox) then type "rott" to launch the game.
Performance on the few titles I tried was – on the whole – very good indeed. All titles in the gallery (playable by all visitors of the site) worked flawlessly, with only aforementioned button mapping causing any problems. Terminal Velocity worked well, though the sound was somewhat garbled – and the seminal old-school FPS Rise of the Triad ran so smoothly I wasted half an hour "thoroughly researching" before deciding it was time to do some work.
Saved games were still there after leaving the application, as were my button mappings and high scores. In my opinion, this is marvellous use of cloud technology.
My NaClBox isn't quite ready yet, though be sure to register for beta access if you're salivating at the thought of cloud-based DOS classics you can access from anywhere with a recent version of Google Chrome. Native Client is an exciting and emerging technology which fits right in with Google's vision for Chrome OS – allowing applications to run at full speed in the cloud. For the rest of us it might be somewhat of a novelty at the moment, but eventually the open source technology will be used in many of our favourite web apps.
Coincidentally, Justin wrote an interesting article on how to run DOS games on a Wii with DOSbox Run Classic DOS Games On Your Wii With DOSbox Run Classic DOS Games On Your Wii With DOSbox Run DOS software on your Wii, just because you can. DOSbox for Wii puts the complete DOS experience – command prompt and all – on your Wii. DOSbox isn't just for Windows, though: it works... Read More , which you might want to check out.
Let us know what you think of NaClBox as well as Google's Native Client in the comments, below.

This i pretty neat, Saves a lot of time working with win7 compatibility layers!
i like it, it is not depending on the system (MAC OSX, PC, ...)
Good article .. I am going to try this..
"While Google has not yet enabled Native Client by default in the stable release of Chrome, you can still try it out without installing the experimental builds." You need to correct your article, this is wrong. Native Client has been enabled by default on the stable channel since around v17 or v18. However, the plugin can only be used on applications and extensions that are installed via the Chrome Web Store. Other sites cannot use the plugin. "This" is where you need to enable a flag currently, to enable NaCl to run on non-webstore apps. Check about:flags if you don't believe me.
Woah! The Secret of Monkey Island! Brings back memories! :D
Still a fan of Basilisk, the freeware classic Mac OS emulator. Haven't found a browser-based one yet, and probably won't, because Basilisk requires that you have a readily available Mac ROM to use with it. You can't emulate another system's hardware in a browser, at least not yet.
There are some floating around the Internet and BitTorrent for use with classic Mac emulators, but as always, when downloading ANYTHING from the Internet, caveat downloader and YMMV. Worth taking a chance in a VM or Sandboxie if you don't have an old beige Macintosh lying around in your garage and can't extract the ROM file, which is probably the case for 99% of people. But I've managed to find a safe one and love to play around with Oregon Trail and Midnight Rescue. :-)
Well, I'm excited. I hate having to remind my kids how to use DOSBox everytime they use a new computer.

One of my least favorite traditions is the "New Years Resolution". I'm sure there must be someone out there that has actually managed to follow through on their resolution but I haven't met them. I have only met people who made a resolution and then didn't follow through.
That's why I don't make them. I pretty sure I won't follow through.
So even though I'm not going to make any resolutions I do have a few suggestions (in no particular order) I'd like to throw out there:
Stores actually enforce the "Express Lane" - There is nothing that irritates me more than being in express lane only to see someone ahead of me that is clearly exceeding the maximum number of items. These people aren't innocent either, they can count. I wish businesses would take a "no tolerance" attitude when it comes to compliance.
What I'd like to see is as soon as the cashier keys in the item that exceeds the maximum number permitted a whistle should start blowing and a light flashing. The offending shopper is then surrounded by 4 of the largest bag boys in the store. The offender is then escorted out of the building and told to never return.
People would learn quickly
States should all go to a "reasonable and prudent" speed limit - I'm all for speed limits in congested areas. The only problem is that better than 70% of our nations Interstate Highways are NOT in congested areas. The "no speed limit" thing works on the Autobahn in Germany so why can't we do it? We beat them in a world war and they still have higher speed limits than us? If we don't raise our speed limits then I guess the Nazis actually won.
The ASPCA should not be allowed to run commercials during the Holidays - A lot of us have our TVs the majority of the time. It's gotten to the point that they're used as background noise. I don't need to be in the middle of a perfectly enjoyable Holiday experience when I hear an ASPCA "you're a piece of shit" commercial. You know, the ones that basically say "Having a good time right now? Well let us show you these poor defenseless animals that are suffering while you are having that good time. You insensitive heartless piece of trash. But don't worry, you can relieve your guilt by sending us a pile of money."
If the ASPCA wants to make people feel guilty any other time of the year I have no problem with that. Most people are already miserable then anyway. When I hear their commercials during the Holidays I want to take up dog fighting just to retaliate.
The FCC should allow people to swear - It is the year 2014 and well actually ... people have been using swear words since the beginning of time. The word fuck first appeared in the dictionary in 1775. So I'm pretty sure people are familiar with it along with every other swear word being used today. So why is it that people are willing to listen to people on TV and radio speaking in a way the rest of us don't.
I find it ironic that we live in a country that fought for its independence because we didn't want to be told what to do. We fought a world war to defeat a lunatic that would have taken it over and forced us live in a way that he thought was right.
Yet we will allow a small group of people to dictate what we can and cannot listen to on TV and radio? What was it we fought those wars for again? Why did all those brave men and women sacrifice their lives?
Sure, that makes sense.
So good luck with your New Years resolutions. Let me know how they work out for you. In the meantime I won't be watching what I eat ...

Our roads are not built to the standards of the Autobahn in Germany. So increasing the speed would be very dangerous. Plus the cars that are marketed and sold to us Americans are not engineered to be high speed cars. Other than that, great blog!

Nowadays the "bucket list" concept has become a wildly popular cultural meme, thanks to the movie of the same name. Subsequent marketing of the idea to millennials has proven a successful means to derive them of their income, with which they seem eager to part.
I don't like the concept. The list, I mean, not necessarily the plucking of the millennial chickens who willingly hand over their financial feathers. They get what they deserve.
Bucketlist.org has, at the time of this writing, more than 5.317 million "dreams" for you to pursue. Contributed by more than 450,000 people. And your individual dream? Part of the Borg's list. Pretty hard to think of something original that the previous 450,000 folks didn't already add to the list.
Just search "bucket list" on Google and you'll turn up close to 52 million hits, and a huge number of them are selling something, from New Age codswallop to travel to high-tech gadgets and everything in-between. Nowadays, "your" bucket list is everyone's bucket list and has become part of a slick campaign aimed at your wallet. At every corner there's some entrepreneur eager to play Virgil to your hollow life's Dante, for a price.
A bucket list is, we learned from the film, the wish list of things you want to accomplish before you kick the metaphorical bucket – i.e. die – as a means to give your previously pathetic life some substance. That notion quickly morphed into a commercial selling point, and it seems I encounter it every day in some new form, usually on social media. It's up there with posts about puppies, angels, magic crystals, and nasty troll posts about liberals.
The movie is about two seniors undergoing an end-of-life crisis trying to figure out the Meaning of It All. They resolve to avoid dwelling on their inevitable end by taking very expensive trips around the world (Jack Nicholson plays a billionaire…). It's a cute, moving film. It's fiction, but also a great marketing idea. We are all susceptible to Hollywood, after all. And, of course, we all have billionaire friends who will buy the tickets, right?
Okay, I get it: we all want life to make sense, and to have meaning that makes the 9-5 grind worthwhile. But even if our lives are meaningless, we don't want to die, either. We want to be able to say something we did made the journey worth the effort. But is this the way? Is life simply a series of boxes we check off? A list that keeps growing with more and more items to check? Your self esteem will suffer if you don't check this off. And this. And this. And this…
