He was frozen out of the Chelsea team last season under the managerial reign of Italian tactician Maurizio Sarri.
Danny Drinkwater was told by the then Chelsea manager that he's not part of his plans.
He played just one game for Chelsea throughout last season.
The same thing happened to him when Frank Lampard replaced Maurizio Sarri as the Chelsea manager this summer.
The English midfielder was involved with Chelsea and manager Frank Lampard during preseason before he was told to look for a new club by the newly appointed Blues' boss.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp has had his say on the angry reaction from star forward Sadio Mane shortly after he was substituted during the Premier League clash at the home of Burnley on Saturday evening.
Klopp told Sky Sports after the Burnley game that the angry reaction from Sadio Mane was not because of his substitution and that the cause will be addressed in the dressing room.
Sadio Mane was subbed off for Divock Origi towards the end of the game which ended in a comfortable 3-0 win for Liverpool.
The Senegalese international was said to have been infuriated by teammate Mohamed Salah who refused to pass to him when he had a very good chance to score another goal for Liverpool.

That incident happened shortly before his substitution.
Sadio Mane was amongst the goals for Liverpool as the Reds maintained their unblemished start to the new season.
He scored the second goal of the game four minutes after Burnley striker Chris Woods had put through his own net for the opening goal in the first half.
Roberto Firmino added a third goal in the second half to wrap up the points for the Merseysiders.
Liverpool usurped rivals and defending champions Manchester City at the Premier League summit as a result of the win.
Liverpool Make History With Win Over Burnley
Premier League leaders Liverpool have set a new record after their win over Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday evening.
The Reds thrashed Burnley 3-0 to usurp Manchester City at the top of the Premier League table.
Manchester City had earlier gone to the top of the table following the 4-0 win at home to Brighton and Hove Albion.
The Premier League champions got their goals through Sergio Aguero (2), Kevin De Bruyne and second half substitute Bernardo Silva.
Liverpool reacted to the Manchester City result with a dominant win at the home of Burnley.

Liverpool added a second goal almost immediately (four minutes later) through Sadio Mane before Roberto Firmino wrapped up the win in the second half to send his team back to the Premier League summit.
With the result, Liverpool broke their record of successive victories in the league.
They have won their last 13 league games thereby beating the record set in 1990 (12 straight wins).
The last league game that didn't end in victory for Liverpool was the Merseyside Derby on the 3rd of March.
Man Utd Legend Names Best Arsenal Player In Burnley Win

Dani Ceballos was making his first start of the season against the Clarets and it was a fantastic debut for the Real Madrid loanee.

I actually had a dog off my cousins best coon dogs, not sure what his bloodline went back too. I might still have the papers somewhere but never cared to much if a dog had them or not. But anyway he was a great dog, had plenty of grit maybe even too much to start with til he matured, medium speed, good nose, belly up tree dog, smart, his only downfall was maybe started a little later then what I really like with my hounds. But from what I can tell that is pretty common in Wipeout blood, so that was the only reason he stayed around because normally I cull dogs if they are not producing by a year old. He just passed away this summer from a heat stroke at 3 years old and I wish I would have took her entire litter of puppies. All of them went to big game hunters besides 3 puppies and all the puppies are above average hounds with hogs, bear, and coons!!! If you have anymore questions feel free to send me a pm.

When Natalia first came to Canada as a refugee from Russia, she had no friends, no family, knew no English and had only $20 to her name. Fortunately, she was connected with Kinbrace Community Society for support. Three years later Natalia and her family have a community they call home.
Many come to Canada to find a safe place free of war, political unrest, or discrimination. Central City Foundation strives to support organizations such as Kinbrace, Immigrant Services Society of BC, Kiwassa Neighbourhood House and Collingwood Neighbourhood House Society who help newcomers with basics such as food and shelter, as well as education and access to health care.
Natalia applied for Canadian refugee status when her son, whose father is Afghani, suffered irreparable injuries after being attacked in a hate crime. She left her family to come to Canada where she was later joined by her daughter, then son and husband.
Kinbrace provides housing for over 40 people a year who are in the refugee protection system. They help them gain stability and move to permanent housing by introducing them to much needed resources, such as training programs and language classes.
Each Tuesday, Kinbrace hosts a dinner for residents like Natalia, as well as former residents and volunteers. The meals are prepared by a different resident each week, introducing the community to different culinary traditions.
Central City Foundation donors provided funding to Kinbrace for the purchase of industrial kitchen equipment including a high end blender, food processor, stand mixer and commercial-grade barbecue.
The equipment is available for all their residents to use and supports Kinbrace's goal to promote long-term social, mental and spiritual health.
"We've been very grateful for our partnership with Central City Foundation, and the kitchen equipment we've purchased through the the grant has bolstered our capacity to bring people together," says Loren Balisky, Executive Director of Kinbrace Community Society. "Being together around food is critical not only for survival, but for building friendships and strengthening a sense of identity."
For Natalia, Kinbrace not only gave her food and shelter, but also an introduction to Canadian life and others in a similar situation.
"The people of Kinbrace have set an example for me and my family," says Natalia. "I don't think I realized how much they did for me when I first came to Canada, but I came here with nothing and never felt like I was without."
Natalia has now moved on from Kinbrace to more permanent housing. She continues to learn English and improve her employment skills. She's been proud to see both her children grow and find happiness in their new home.
Like many former Kinbrace clients, Natalia stays connected to Kinbrace and still attends the Tuesday evening meals, welcoming newer newcomers to life in Canada.

The provision of personal data is exclusively based on contractual requirements. The provider provides more detailed information on this in the general terms and conditions for customers of his online shop in Section 3) "Information duties", where the consequences of omission of consent are also named.

In detail, the data processing of personal data takes place on the following bases:
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data..

What Is It?
As one of several phytosterols (plant compounds with chemical structures similar to that of cholesterol), beta-sitosterol is commonly found in foods such as wheat germ, soybeans, and corn oil. Over the past few years, concentrated extracts of this particular phytosterol have been tested for lowering cholesterol and lessening such discomforts of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as frequent and painful urination.
In fact, Europeans have long taken beta-sitosterol and other plant remedies for prostate problems and growing numbers of American men are following suit. Beta-sitosterol products are now widely available in health-food outlets, and promising research results on beta-sitosterol for BPH are being published.
A Lancet study, for instance, found that among 200 men with BPH those given beta-sitosterol (20 mg three times a day for six months), showed significant improvements in urinary difficulties. In contrast, those men given a placebo reported no relief at all.
And in a key 1999 review of four well-designed clinical trials involving 519 men with mild to moderate (symptomatic) BPH, analysts reported that beta-sitosterol provided notable relief from urinary problems. It also increased urine flow and caused few side effects. Interestingly, benefits matched those commonly seen with prescription BPH drugs. Beta-sitosterol even holds promise for lowering a man's cholesterol levels at the same time that it controls BPH symptoms.
It's still not clear exactly how beta-sitosterol benefits the prostate; research indicates that it may lessen inflammation and block the accumulation of cholesterol in the prostate gland itself. It does not appear to alter the size of the prostate, however.
Beta-sitosterol may also lower elevated cholesterol in some cases, a function of its apparent ability to block the absorption of cholesterol throughout the body. However, relatively high daily doses are typically needed for this effect, so if you're taking the lower, standard daily amount of beta-sitosterol for BPH (125 to 250 mg daily), don't expect results for your cholesterol too. Consult your doctor for guidance about taking beta-sitosterol for high cholesterol.
General Interaction
There are no known drug or nutrient interactions associated with beta-sitosterol.

Embattled carmaker General Motors Corp. (GM) is planning thousands of additional white-collar job cuts and mulling over the sale off some of its brands, sources told the Wall Street Journal.
The strategic shifts are part of General Motors' plan to return to profitability by 2010, a goal that will require a lot of changes to the company model. And they come at a time when U.S. auto sales are the slowest in 15 years, gas prices have edged above the $4-a-gallon mark, and GM's stock is trading at a 54-year low.
The decision on the job cuts will come at the No. 1 automaker's board of directors meeting in August, where the GM board may also entertain management's suggestions about trimming its number of brands, sources told the paper.
General Motors M's entire global brand roster – Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, GM Daewoo, GMC, Holden, Hummer, Opel, Pontiac, Saab, Saturn and Vauxhall – are under the microscope and only its core Cadillac and Chevrolet lines are safe from potential sale, other sources told the Journal.
General Motors has already announced that Hummer is on the sales block.
As GM rival Ford Motor Co. (F) has learned, less can be more. Earlier this year, it unloaded its luxury lines Land Rover and Jaguar to Tata Motors Inc. (ADR: TTM) for a cool $2.3 billion.
Ford also recently announced that it would cut costs by eliminating about 2,000 salaried positions.
General Motors Sizing Down?
News of the potential job cuts and brand reduction follow reports last week that General Motors may accelerate production and sales of its new subcompact car, the Chevrolet Beat, in the United States.
Though not a hybrid, the Beat can get as much as 40 miles per gallon. GM – whose autoline is heavy on trucks, SUVs and the gas-guzzling Hummer – hopes that number will appeal to U.S. drivers, who are hampered by record gasoline costs.
"This is a very big change for GM," John Wolkonowicz, an analyst at Global Insight Inc. in Lexington, Mass., told Bloomberg. "They have no choice. There's never been as rapid a shift in consumer demand in the history of the auto industry."
Year-to-date, GM has been the worst performing stock on the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index, falling nearly 59%.
The damage has actually lifted the value of its 25-cent quarterly dividend, but that's about the extent of the good news. However, even that dividend may be at risk, the Journal reported.
If GM sells additional shares to raise cash, the quarterly dividend becomes more of a burden. Should the board vote to suspend GM's dividend, the automaker would preserve about $550 million a year, the Journal reported.

My buddy Mick and I share a lot of in common. For starters, we share the same birthday, same year. We both married beautiful, funny, smart women named Gail – also great friends with one another. Our daughters both attended the same college. And recently, we both surprised our families with puppies from the same litter. With so much in common, you can see why we're friends.
On top of all that, Mick and I used to play softball together. We don't play much anymore, but we do meet three days a week to go on for a morning walk and practice new jokes on one another.
Last fall, Mick started wanting to go for long walks and, to be frank, I had a little trouble keeping up. It was like suddenly he had an extra store of energy. When he noticed that I was falling behind a little bit more than usual, he told me he was taking a supplement called …
And he recommended I start doing the same.
But, here's where we differ. If someone gives Mick a suggestion or tells him to try something new, he'll take a chance. He'll just jump in and give most things a go. However, I prefer to do some research to find out what I'm getting myself into.
So, I am surprised to discover that not only VitaPulse is helpful in terms of boosting energy, but it also –
- Assists in the reduction of inflammation
- Contains potent antioxidants to help fend off free radicals
- Protects your body from cellular damage
- Helps lower bad cholesterol levels
Sounded pretty good to me, but I wondered how one supplement could do all that. I had to find out just what was inside VitaPulse.
What's inside that little capsule?
Turns out, VitaPulse isn't crammed with useless chemicals like most supplements. In fact, there are only a few choice ingredients that make up what I started calling Mick's Power Pellet – which, for the record, I take now too, if you hadn't yet seen where this review was headed.
Two of the major components to VitaPulse are NAC (aka n-acetylcysteine) and PQQ (aka pyrroloquinoline quinone). But what exactly are these ingredients and what makes them so great?
NAC is a special amino acid. And, amino acids are essential compounds considered to be the building blocks of proteins – something we need quite a bit of in our diet, right? But, there's something different about NAC – it works like an antioxidant, by which I mean it helps protect your body from the destructive chain reaction put in play by free radicals before they can damage your cells.1
Let me break it down for you … free radicals are atoms that have lost their electrons. This often occurs when oxygen interacts with certain molecules. The missing electrons cause the free radicals to become highly reactive. And when they react with certain cell membranes, your cells can get compromised, or even die.
But, when you combat that process with antioxidants, or a compound like NAC, you help make sure your cells don't suffer free radical damage or expire – a process known as "oxidative stress."2 Now, oxidative stress occurs when we neglect to take proper care of ourselves by eating the wrong things, drinking alcohol in excess, and smoking cigarettes.
So, think of NAC like little doctors – helping to detoxify your body and erase damage while strengthening your cells. NAC's sole purpose is to help keep your cells in tip-top shape.
Pyrroloquinoline quinone
Now, PQQ is a major player when it comes to mitochondrial health. It also does a great deal to help ensure proper cellular and metabolic function. PQQ also possesses a strong store of antioxidant properties.
And you might be wondering what mitochondrial health is, to begin with. I was. Simply put, mitochondria are organelles – tiny parts of cells with highly specific jobs. The primary task of mitochondria is to produce around 90% of the energy your body needs in order to support organ function. Unfortunately, if mitochondria fail, then it's impossible to generate the necessary amount of energy within the cell. This causes cell injury and, eventually, cell death. And the more this occurs throughout the body, whole organ systems can start to shut down.
PQQ works to stimulate cellular communication pathways and activate the regrowth of mitochondria in aging cells. You know the only real another way to do that? Strict diet and exercise – that's it.
So, I was convinced enough to give it a shot – besides, I couldn't get Mick to stop bugging me about it. (Again, last time that happened I ended up bringing a puppy home to my wife … but I love that little mutt).
The VitaPulse Experience
Well, I've been taking VitaPulse for over five months now, and I've got to say …
Not only am I able to keep up with Mick on our walks, but we've also started jogging. I feel refreshed. Frankly, I feel alive. Oh, and my cholesterol has improved! Also, now Gail's started taking VitaPulse as well. She tells me at least once a day that her joints feel better than they have in years.
And, we've both lost a little bit of weight, too. Finally, it's so easy to take – just one a day with your vitamins.
The Takeaway
So, of course, whenever I see Mick now, he says, "You're welcome." And, it should annoy me, but I really do have him to thank for how great I feel. Now, I checked with my physician before I added VitaPulse to my daily routine, and you should do the same. Maybe my word doesn't mean much to you, but if you take a look at some official VitaPulse reviews, you'll see they say the same.
One of the things I loved about trying VitaPulse was the 90-day guarantee. If for whatever reason you find VitaPulse isn't for you – just send Princeton Nutrients your bottle back, and they'll take care of you. So, there's really no reason not to try it out.
I did, and I'm so grateful.

Ford Motor Co. just made a major announcement at the 2016 Detroit auto show. Ford announced they will be adding the F-150 Raptor to its stable of aluminium-bodied pickups.
The off-roading edition of the F-150 pickup truck will now have an aluminium body. It literally means all Ford North American pickups will be built with steel frames and aluminium bodies.
Until two years ago the design was only reserved for sports cars. Meanwhile both General Motors and Dodge are sticking with steel bodies in their trucks.
The great advantage of aluminium is its relatively light weight. But aluminium is difficult to use in a mass produced setting. Ford will be making 800,000 F-150s a year with aluminium parts for many years.
Ford has found a way to make a large portion of a mass-marketed vehicle out of aluminium. The F-series engine is also a reason for the popularity of its pick-ups. According to Ford the F-series is the best-selling pickup in Canada for 50 years.
In 2015 780,000 F-series trucks were sold. Ford may have switched to aluminium bodies to meet tougher North American economy standards. The government-mandated fuel economy standards will come by 2025. The F-150 Raptor will shed about 350 kg during the switch from steel body to aluminium.
"We want the Ford visitor experience at the North American International Auto Show to be just as innovative as our products and technologies," said Darrell Bryja, Ford global auto shows manager.
"The new Ford display brings our biggest news to life, and the interactive elements enable families to become part of the action."
The North American International Auto Show is in its 28th year. The NAIAS is among the most prestigious auto shows in the world. The NAIAS (North American International Auto Show) is hosted at the MGM Grand Detroit. The NAIAS constitutes the release of more than 50 new cars. NAIAS will last from the 16th to the 24th of January, 2016.

Silent Film Festival in Scotland
Posted by keith1942 on March 5, 2015
It is good to see that this Festival, now in its fifth year, is still running. Its main venue, The Hippodrome, celebrated a centenary in 2012: one of the oldest film venues still in use. Over the five days there are a variety of early films being screened, a number of them offering rare opportunities to see early classics.
Hippodrome Festival of Silent Cinema 2015
Wednesday 18th March until Sunday 22nd March
It seems that most of the films will be screened from digital formats, but I am advised by the organisers that these will be projected at the correct frame rates. It is good to see this facility developed by FIAF actually appearing in the UK. . Moreover there is also live music for the screenings. And there are two events screening from 35mm prints:
During WW1 the British government made over 1,000 films to record fighting, train troops and for propaganda. After 1918 the authorities had the foresight to deposit these films at the Imperial War Museum (IWM), leaving us with a remarkably powerful record of the life of the nation during one of the most traumatic and influential periods in modern history. This programme of highlights from the IWM's collection, specially curated for HippFest by Senior Curator Dr Toby Haggith, presents rarely screened clips ranging from recruitment and the role of women to coverage of campaign fighting including the Air War and the Western Front, as well as moving scenes of post-War memorials.
1h 45m incl. Q&A
With: Dr Toby Haggith
Performing live: Mike Nolan
We close the Festival in fine style with the world premiere of a newly commissioned score by award-winning Scottish fiddle player Shona Mooney (2006 BBC Radio Scotland Young Traditional Musician of the Year) for this stirring epic starring Lillian Gish as the plucky Annie Laurie for whom forbidden romance fuels the flames of hatred between the warring Macdonald and Campbell clans. Critics of the day praised the film's "substantial" plot, "colourful action, settings and costumes" and the "rugged scenes suggesting all the bluntness of Scotch character" and audiences today will no doubt be equally charmed by the timeless performance of one of silent cinema's most enduring icons. 'Annie Laurie' and Shona Mooney's new score will be performed at The Barbican Centre, London in spring 2015. Come dressed with a dash of tartan to finish the Festival in style!
Performing Live: Shona Mooney, Alasdair Paul, Amy Thatcher
Dir. John S. Robertson | US | 1927 | 1h 53m + SSA short

The prospect of purchasing a prime piece of commercial real estate is extremely exciting for investors. Unless you are very comfortable and familiar with the buying, selling, and maintenance of commercial properties, you may find the process somewhat confusing. Fortunately, the information found in this article is sure to clear up some of your most basic questions.
If you buy and sell real estate as a business, avoid having any rental vacanies. Empty properties don't make money, they lose money. If a property is sitting empty for a signficant period of time, sell it. No matter how great an investment it was when full, an empty rental is worthless to you.
An important tip to remember with rental real estate is to get the entire contract and terms in writing. This is important because this is your property and if anything goes wrong during the duration of rental, you want as much on paper to back you up as possible.
One important tip to remember when investing in commercial real estate is to buy a property with as many units as you are able to afford. This is important because your income ratio will increase with the more units you are renting out. While you do have to pay more upfront, your return on the investment will be much greater.
On the real estate market both buyers and sellers are well advised to remain open until a potential deal is well and truly sealed. read more is tempting to commit to a particular offer or home when the sale process is just starting. There is a great distance between an interest expressed and money changing hands; homeowners who commit themselves to a deal too early risk getting taken advantage of.
When considering purchasing rental real estate, keep in mind that if you invest in rentals near a local university your tenants will most likely be students. If this is appealing to you remember to write leases which include specific rules about parties and additional roommates. Also be aware that your tenants may not be long term, and vacancies in rental units will rise during the summer.
When you lease a commercial site it is very important to that pest control is kept up-to-date. This is especially important when an area is known to have pest and rodent problems. Prior to signing a lease, ask your agent what the current pest control policies are.
One tip to being a good landlord is to make sure you check the references of anyone you would like as a tenant. Sometimes people can put on a good show and seem like they would be good tenants when in reality they would create a lot of problems for you. Better to be safe than sorry.
Be sure to do research on commercial lenders. You may be able to find a great deal somewhere you were not expecting. Also note you will be required to put up a hefty down payment. Keep in mind that if the deal falls through there typically will be no personal liability and commercial lenders may be lenient if you borrow a down payment from a different lender.
Although the opposing party is not your friend, there are a few times when you will want to work together if possible. After you have both done your inspections, it can be worthwhile to get together for coffee to compare notes. If you find a discrepancy, one or both of your inspectors were probably not completely thorough.
When purchasing a piece of commercial real estate one of the first things you want to consider is the purpose of it. Will it be for a retail outlet, or a service oriented business? Knowing what you are going to use the space for is half the battle when purchasing commercial real estate.
One thing to think about when purchasing commercial real estate is why the previous owner is selling it. Sometimes, they are selling it because of a problem with the property itself. For example, it could be prone to insect infestation, or perhaps in a more bizarre scenario be the target of repeat break ins due to a vendetta.
Now that have armed yourself with a variety of useful and practical tips on commercial real estate, you will be better prepared to be an effective buyer, seller, or both. Keep this advice in mind as you consider your next move in the game of commercial properties and real estate.

There was a chill that night in the hobo jungle
Over the train yard lay a smooth coat of frost
And although nobody here really knows where they're goin'
At the very same time nobody's lost
Then the fire went out and the night grew still
This old man lay frozen on the cold, cold ground
He was a stray bird and the road was his callin'
Ridin' the rods
Sleepin' under the stars
Playin' the harp from a rollin' box car
(from) Hobo Jungle The Band
Basic Information
A jungle yard (or simply jungle, sometimes referred to as "the weeds") is a makeshift but semi-permanent campsite, traditionally occupied by hobos, but potentially home to all sorts of itinerants and the destitute in general. A step up from living directly on the street, but possibly below squatting it is, at least, cheaper than the cheapest of flophouses. Expect an assortment of tents and shacks (for the well to do or any "barnacle" who has stuck around a while), through an assortment of bivouacs, bashas and benders occupied by the less fortunate. Such places are often found on derelict industrial lots, disused railway sidings and the sort of waste ground that gets trapped around major infrastructure projects - for example under elevated roads or between railway lines and rivers: anywhere there is space to set up, with reasonable access and egress for a none too fussy person afoot and where they are unlikely to be noticed and/or moved on. Access to building materials, water and other services are almost luxuries in context. Something like a jungle may also appear in storm drains and the like, assuming they are not often used for their intended purpose. As already implied, a squat may also serve as a de-facto jungle.
Jungles are rarely entirely legitimate, but may be tolerated by a community that can use the cheap labour that hobos provide - others may be well hidden in case of official or casual violence targeting their occupants.
During the day, a jungle may well be almost deserted, except for those hobos unable to find work (or just unable to work) and any that have been working at night. In some cases, less able bodied members may serve as watchmen for the rest, standing guard over the jungle to prevent (as best they can), theft of what little there is to steal or casual harassment of the community.
Game and Story Use
- Extremely poor PCs may end up living here, as may those on the run if they can find acceptance from the hobos.
- Would-be settlers who are unwelcome are apparently presented with a match, signalling that they should go and light their own fire, as they are not welcome to share those of the existing community.
- This may also be a good place to recruit casual and (normally) at best semi-skilled labour - although the hobos may go elsewhere to be hired and be extremely suspicious of anyone coming to find them "at home".
- Of course, in a bad enough economic climate, even people with semi-regular jobs may find themselves living in the jungle - this goes even more so for those who have social or legal barriers to occupying better housing. In the real world, this often means (former) criminals and illegal aliens, in more exotic settings it may mean (half)orcs or actual aliens.
- Missing persons may occasionally be found living here by anyone with sufficient street-wisdom to track them down.
- Likewise, anyone hoping for information from the hobos had best be subtle - actually approaching the jungle will likely put everyone on the defensive, especially if they look like they might be a policeman, or someone else prone to make trouble for hobos (which may include some charitable workers).
- The better the climate, the more likely you are to find a jungle yard - places where it regularly freezes in the winter and/or is cold and wet may find them absent in favour of squatting or only occupied part of the year. Hot, dry climates may find the jungle operating all year around, and a jungle in a jungle is not beyond the bounds of possibility.

Sometimes a mere coat of paint is enough to give new life to an object or a house. Other times, it is better to start over. When it came to RJC Accounting Services' website, there was talk of an overhaul: rjcaccounting.ca
A website must be simple, accessible, and easy to maintain. For this project, it was clear that Wix would make a good platform to achieve the objectives.
Now officially launched, the new website offers a more modern image, and its marketing elements show up better. The appointment calendar is easier to find, and the color theme is attractive. Colors were inspired by the logo therefore provide a nice flow and correspond to the RJC Accounting Services' trademark.
The customer gains on all levels with a flexible and dynamic platform.
As it is essential that a website be easily accessible to smart phones and tablets, a mobile version was configured. The website also boasts more elements to improve SEO, such as ALT tags, page titles, and descriptions.
Visit rjcaccounting.ca and let Robbert Cavanaugh know how awesome his new website really is.

Description of problem: When trying to listen streaming media on Internet with
Konqueror, we can't choose the player we want to use.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): KDE 3.5
Actual results: No choice between available players
Expected results: be able to choose the player we want to use
Additional info: This is a feature request, not a bug
Fedora 7 test bugs should be filed against "devel", not against test1/2/3. This
isn't obvious, I know. Moving this report so it isn't lost.
This is a bulk message -- I apologize if this was actually meant to be targeted
against a different release. If so, please fix or let me know. Thanks.
For example, when you're going on www.jamendo.com , you can't chose the player
you want to use for reading the stream. If I want to play it in Amarok and not
in Mplayer, I can't.
Seems more a "how to set default player for a given mime-type" issue to me.
I don't think firefox (or any other browser afaik) behaves any different.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Firefox enable us to chose the player we want to use, but it also suggests
default player... Having a default player is great but cannot chose another one
can be sometimes problematic.
This is not something solvable withing Fedora really (patches welcome tho!),
it's an upstream KDE issue. Having said that, you'd be better served sending
this to bugs.kde.org instead.
Closing->CantFix (would have used Upstream, which is where something like this
really belongs, but afaict, that hasn't been done yet).

Wilson injured his rib after hitting an errant shot at the range on the first day of the Betagro Championship in May and was forced to take a four-week layoff from golf before returning to play the Queen's Cup in June.
In the two events he has played since he has missed the cut and in fact he had missed his previous four coming into this week's event so his effort is a pleasant surprise.
"62 is my personal best score and it is great to be able to go so low especially with that front nine having a couple of tough holes out there. Especially coming off the last three events where I missed the cut.
"Last week I went home and spent some time with my best friend, and got some positive vibes going. Things are turning around; my ball striking has been fantastic and I am hitting my driver well. I drove the green on hole eight to give myself an eagle chance but two-putted to settle for birdie.
"I'm hitting driver every chance I get because I'm just confident with my swing right now. I agree that you have to be careful with a lot of the holes out here but if you're willing to take the risk the reward's there."
Wilson's only win in a recognised event was when successful at the 2013 WAPGA Championship in Kalgoorlie in his rookie season
Wilson trails the leader, South African Justin Harding by three shots at the halfway mark while the next best of the Australians are Jake McLeod and Josh Younger in a share of 5th place and three behind Wilson.
Rookie Travis Smyth shares 12th place with consecutive rounds of 68.

Is big abstracts a acquaintance or foe? It can be both, says Ron Sandland.
Data!data!data!" he cried impatiently. "I can't accomplish artery after clay." So said Sherlock Holmes in The Adventure of the Copper Beeches.
He may accept begin a latter-day accessory in Attorney-General George Brandis, who is gluttonous to force telcos to accumulate abstracts on your blast calls and internet acceptance for up to two years, for the abeyant use of law administration agencies.
Technically we now accept the adeptness to do what the Attorney-General wants. It's been fabricated accessible by the tsunami we alarm 'big data'. But is this anarchy a acquaintance or foe?
Data is the aspect of assay and added afresh it has acquired agnate accent for business and industry.
Technologies like sensor networks accredit us to accumulate astronomic volumes of abstracts at biggy speeds and generally in circuitous forms. Area assay abstracts was already a set of anxiously abstinent points, for archetype in an agronomical experiment, it now adeptness be a arrangement of images or a video actuality captured in absolute time.
Big abstracts represents a complete breach with the way abstracts was calm and interpreted. That alignment was developed aboriginal in the 20th aeon by Sir Ronald Fisher and his colleagues at the Rothamsted Agronomical Station. They developed adult agency of accession abstracts to ensure analytical biases were removed in appropriately advised experiments. These statistical annual and accoutrement bedeviled the beginning programs of abounding disciplines for the best allotment of a century.
All abstracts are accountable to uncertainty, or beginning error. Abstracts accumulating was an big-ticket business and the accoutrement that were developed accustomed experimenters to architecture their abstracts in agency that ensured the abstracts were calm calmly and could be interpreted to booty annual of the uncertainty.
The change to the apple of big abstracts leads to new possibilities in assay and automated applications. For example, a affection ambassador ecology the achievement of a accomplishment band of non-woven t would, until adequately recently, accept had to stop the band and abbreviate $.25 out to admeasurement things like compactness backbone and porosity. Now a camera positioned over the band can abduction a connected video angel area these key ambit can be extracted by real-time algorithms from the video data. Instead of a baby cardinal of abstracts ethics to appraise the affection of a bogus cycle of fibre there is a 'big data' set of astronomic affluence and amount with far greater interpretative power.
Similarly, a alternation of supermarkets captures abstracts in absolute time at every checkout at every abundance in its network. The abstracts actuality generated in this appearance is potentially of immense amount to the ancestor company. What is actuality awash in Marrickville against St Ives against Parramatta? What is the aggregation activity to antecedent from its suppliers to accommodated the demand? How does it administer to get the appropriate appurtenances to the appropriate barter at the appropriate time?
This action of extracting advice from these actual ample abstracts sets is generally referred to as 'data mining'. It's all about extracting admired ore (information) from dross.
Furthermore, these procedures are actuality apparent as giving companies a above advantage in targeting the needs of its customers. A contempo banderole in the Sydney Morning Herald ran: 'Banks Narev eyes massive befalling CBA mines big abstracts to break competitive'.
The disciplinarian actuality is the admiration to get central the active of its customers. So is it advantageous off?
Over 10 years, cyberbanking customers' achievement with their banks has reportedly risen, with the achievement of CBA barter ascent from beneath than 65 per cent to 85 per cent over that period. Abundant of the acceleration is attributed to the availability of apps to abetment with abounding already bulky cyberbanking processes. At the aforementioned time, these apps acquiesce banks to adviser chump abstracts and clothier articles to their needs.
Information account providers like Amazon and Google await on adult algorithms to abstract patterns from big abstracts and appear up with, for example, annoyingly authentic predictions of books, DVDs etc that we adeptness like based on our accomplished purchases.
The payoffs for companies authoritative the best able use of big abstracts to acquaint key business decisions beggarly that companies not all-embracing the big abstracts anarchy may able-bodied be ambience themselves up for failure.
But it's not aloof big corporations that are benefiting from this revolution. Our adeptness to abduction and adapt massive abstracts sets has above abeyant allowances in health, the environment, cartage administration and broadly beyond abounding areas of accurate research.
In anesthetic for example, a new conduct alleged bioinformatics lets advisers attract through more acquiescent maps of the animal genome to analyze patterns associated with accurate gene configurations and ache patterns. Identifying adverse patterns in alleged biomarkers will accredit medical practitioners to adumbrate the access of diseases abundant beforehand and authorize counter-measures to anticipate their occurrence.
So in fact, big abstracts may aloof save your life!

But interpreting and application big abstracts has its problems. There is so abundant of it for a alpha and the accurate statistical methods that could be acclimated to adapt abstracts from advised abstracts accept not absolutely kept up with the abstracts tsunami.
The aftereffect is that it is altogether accessible to accomplish apparent after-effects from the assay of big data, like back Amazon suggests (as a aftereffect of some mystical association) that you adeptness be absorbed in a book in which you don't accept the vaguest interest.
That's not absolutely a botheration until such affected associations advance to inappropriate medical diagnoses or acclaim restrictions, for example. Or back an algorithm abominably assembly your blast or internet acceptance with terrorism.
The use of big abstracts puts the onus on its promoters to anxiously explain the purpose and action of such abstracts abduction and the uses to which it will be put.
There is abundant still to be abstruse about the capture, storage, retrieval and estimation of big data.
We don't absolutely accept how to accord with ambiguity in these huge abstracts sets admitting the advances in 'machine learning' algorithms acclimated in abstracts mining. This agency we charge a new statistical anarchy to abutment their interpretation.
Without it we will never be absolutely abiding we can assurance and ascendancy the outcomes.

Government must not be soft on BAE
Speaking after the announcement that the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) will seek permission from the Attorney General to prosecute BAE, Mr Barrett said:
"The Government needs to be committed to the full prosecution of BAE Systems and ensure that a lesser settlement is not reached out of court.
"The allegations of bribery, especially in developing countries where officials were given kickbacks for projects that were not needed, are gravely serious and need to be addressed.
"The potential fine of £500 million that the SFO is seeking is barely even a sixth of the more than £2.9 billion of cost overruns by BAE procurement projects over the past 6 years.
"I am asking for assurances from the Government that despite a potential conflict of interest in going to trial, they will not be looking to meet behind the scenes for a settlement without trial.
"It is about time that the truth comes out about the dodgy procurement projects in South Africa, Tanzania, Saudi Arabia, and many others that have earned BAE billions of pounds yet left these already struggling countries with expensive white elephants."
The £2.9 billion figure comes from Defence Select committee reports of £700 million overrun for Nimrod project, £1.2 billion overrun for the Astute submarines, and the £1 billion overrun of the 6 Daring type 45 destroyers.

EU FARCE: Irish exporters FUME at EU's plan to avoid UK in new post-Brexit shipping routes
EUROPEAN Union plans to create shipping routes between Ireland and the Continent, deliberately avoiding Britain after Brexit, have been rubbished by Irish food exporters.
The European Commission's no-deal Brexit planners have proposed new routes between Irish ports in Dublin and Cork and Zeebrugge and Antwerp in Belgium, as well as Rotterdam in the Netherlands.
Irish hauliers have warned the new routes would almost treble transit times resulting in food spoiling before it even reaches the Continent.
Currently, around 80 percent of all Irish goods exported to Europe travel via the Channel Tunnel between England and France.
The UK is a major part of the North Sea-Mediterranean Corridor, which links Belfast, Dublin and Cork, with Glasgow, Folkestone and Dover.
We still need access to France and Spain for our products
In the event of a no-deal Brexit, this route would be closed creating an urgency by the EU's powerful executive to search out alternatives, leaving Irish hauliers less than impressed.
As it stands, Britain will cease to be a part of the shipping corridor after March 29, 2019, which Brussels warns will "seriously affect" Ireland's ability to export its products to the Continent.
The Commission's new proposal, championed by Martin Selmayr, has excluded the French ports of Roscoff and Cherbourg, which are geographically closer to Ireland.
Jerry Meredith, spokesman for Freight Transport Association Ireland, said the proposal "does provide a solution and give us easy of accessibility into mainland Europe".
He added: "The problem is the duration of the sail.
Brexit news: Irish exporters bemoan time of new Ireland-Belgium, Netherlands route
"At the moment, the travelling time between Dublin and Zeebrugge is 11.5 hours and that's using the land bridge.
"Going with those shipping lines would be anything between 36 and 41 hours.
"That in itself would not assist with the likes of fruit products that have a shelf life. It's going to create a problem. This issue with the land bridge is a major issue for international hauliers.
"We still need access to France and Spain for our products."
Conor Mulvihill, a director with Ibec's Food Drink Ireland, said the route would create additional costs, which would impact the final price of goods.
Mr Mulvihill said the Rotterdam and Zeebrugge are "more focused goods hubs than the French ports.
He added: "But still, food presents somewhat of a unique situation.
"The vast majority of our European bound dairy and meat goes through the British land bridge.
"To switch all of this would still create headaches for our companies because of the extra time."
Veterinary checks also create an added burden for exporters, who would ultimately have to shoulder the costs or see the price of their goods skyrocket.
"In a no-deal Brexit, we would have to figure this out because using the current UK land bridge we would not only have customs checks, but food of animal origin would also be faced with veterinary checks," he said.
"Even if the UK stayed in the customs union, we would still have massive delays from veterinary checks – unless they stay in the same regulatory regime, and the Chequers paper doesn't say that.
"Like the new route on the NSM corridor, not only would our short-shelf life produce face delays on the way out, returning trucks would also be delayed."
