Furness coaches back changes for youth football
Last updated at 14:30, Wednesday, 30 May 2012
BARROW kids football stalwart Dennis Boyd has hailed the Football Association's decision to overhaul the junior game as "terrific news".
Under new rules passed by the FA, youth football will have fewer players on each side and a greater emphasis on skill.
Some 87 per cent of the 778 votes cast were in favour of the plans, which will see youngsters playing in smaller-sided games, with smaller pitches and goals, and more emphasis on learning skills, rather than winning.
The aim is to bring English football more into line with countries such as Spain, where a greater emphasis is placed on technique.
"I'm totally in support of these changes," said Boyd.
"I think it is terrific news and an excellent move by the FA.
"Smaller pitches make it essential for a child to learn how to control and pass a ball, whereas on a bigger field the faster players are able to kick it 15 yards ahead and run past an opponent." The changes will be phased in time for the 2014/15 season and see under-seven and eight-year-olds playing five-a-side and under-11 and 12-year-olds playing nine versus nine.
Young players will therefore not play full 11-a-side football until they are aged 13.
Competitions will become more child-friendly – breaking up the eight-month long adult-based season into smaller periods of competition.
Last season (2011/12) in the Barrow and District Junior Football League all under-sevens, eights, nines and 10s played seven-a-side on smaller pitches and is smaller goals. Children in the under-11 age group and older played 11-a-side.
Next season it is proposed to keep the status quo in the Barrow JFL but with two major changes which would see under-sevens playing five-a-side and under-11s playing nine-a-side on a smaller pitch.
These proposals will be put before the league's AGM on Thursday June 28. If passed, this would see the JFL making some changes in line with those that will be made compulsory by the FA in 2014/15.
Tony Callister, football development officer for the Lancashire Football Association, said: "I think it is fantastic that the local junior league is looking ahead and pleased that the likes of Dennis Boyd are promoting these changes before they are mandatory. It will be a massive leap forward for junior football in this area. Some leagues in central Lancashire have already gone to nine-a-side at under-11 level and it is proving beneficial, by improving the skill set of children and also aiding player retention."
Nick Levett, national development manager for the FA, said the changes were part of a long-term plan that should lead to benefits all the way up to England level.
He said: "This is about grassroots football but also a 15 to 20-year programme for long-term player development, ultimately to help produce players to support the professional game and England team."

Have your say
Sean says 'do you realistically think children learn anything from shooting into full size goals', i would say Yes
I have been actively involved in the new 9v9 change and agree it is for the good of the game. I will endeavour to answer some of the points. However most of this has been raised previously and has been in my opinion been answered clearly on the FA web site.
The change is mandatory. it is therefore a legal requirement as such and pretending it is not going to happen is kidding ourselves. Barrow and District in my opinion have chosen the correct route. Let's run with it and get these problems resolved now.
The current pitch size of 11 a side can be easily accomodated for a 9v9 by playing goal mouth to goal mouth. It is hoped to mark at least 2 pitches on Cavendish Park, Ormsgill already has a pitch marked for the new size, Crooklands, Furness Cavaliers and Barrow Celtic are making provision. It might not be immediate but it is planned. There is I believe a plan for two pitches on Tummerhill. Therefore allocation of pitches has been recognised. Cones can be used in the interim. This has never detracted from a childs enjoyment to my knowledge so there are options.
Children currently playing U10 for the most part play 8 or 9 a side dependent on numbers. I am baffled where the 16 has come from. If they are playing in the current U10 there should be very little change to the amount of children playing. Currently some clubs do have two teams. In the past this would have gone to 1 side at U11 as they were 11 a side. Therefore less children playing unless I am missing something. This is no longer the case and I fail to see a valid point in this argument. Moving on.
The concept of the goals. Personally a phased in approach will have to be tolerated if a club cannot afford the goals. As long as thay are the same size for both teams then a tolerance will have to be observed. Suggest you contact the local league as there is a likelihood of a Barrow and District request for funding and potential for some additional funds.
9v9 is a good thing, do you realistically think children learn anything from shooting into full size goals? Up high no matter the quality it is a goal. I would say there are more positives than negatives so let's embrace the change and move forward.

Stephen Colbert unveils wax figure at Madame Tussaunds in D.C.
Stephen Colbert is now among presidents at the Madame Tussauds wax museum in Washington. Colbert appeared Friday at the museum to unveil his wax likeness. The museum says Colbert donated his own clothes to dress the figure in a suit, tie, cuff links and lapel pin. It's the centerpiece of a new media gallery with a replica of "The Colbert Report" set where visitors can sit next to Colbert's figure behind his fake news desk.

Step 1: Materials
An empty Altoids tin,
A pair of heavy duty scissors,
A used gift card,
A hot glue gun,
6 popsicle sticks,
Spraypaint (optional).
Step 2: Modifying Your Gift Card
Step 3: Cutting the Popsicle Sticks
Three 2 and 1/4 inch long peices,
One 1 and 1/4 inch long peice,
Two 2 and 3/4 inch long peices,
Four 1 and 7/8 inch long peices.
Step 4: Start the Pull Out Tray
Step 5: FInishing the Pull Out Tray
Step 6: Finishing the Bottom
nice kit! I secure my hooks with a safety pin to keep them from rattling around & getting "tangled"
like information this ? ok
I think that the pull-out tray is supposed to be taken out of the lid and placed in the bottom of the Altoids tin (right-side-up) and then close the lid. The bottom (gift card) of the pull-out tray keeps the items from intermingling.
This is a great 'ible, thanks.
i found that the tin would not stay closed the greatest so i took a elastic band (the ones you get from produce) and i kept it together no matter how hard you shook it.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by kitmac the least boring pants I've ever owned I tried these on just for the fun of it, thinking they would probably look ridiculous on someone my age (over 50) and size. What I saw in the mirror blew me away. The heavy fabric drapes in an elegant way, and the close fit through the hips is surprisingly slimming. Tried them in both 12 (my usual size) and 10. The only difference seemed to be that the 12 sat at my natural waist and the 10 sat a bit below it, which looked better with this style. I got the "black," which really more of a dark charcoal, so that you can see the zigzag weave more than you do in the photo. My only complaint is the length, which seems intended for giraffes. I'm a long-legged 5'7" and when I tried these with 2" heels they were pooling on the floor. Because of the braid trim at the hem, shortening them will not be a simple matter. Still, I'm glad I got them. Pants are usually the most boring part of any outfit, but these are showstoppers. 11.14.2011
Rated 3 out of 5Â by SouthernCharm What's all the fuss about? After reading all the other reviews, I thought my life would be incomplete without these pants. I received them in the mail today and, well, they are just average. I thought they would be fairly dressy and a true black. In fact, they are quite casual and dark grey. The fit is TTS & good, and they are comfortable. Just not what I had in mind, I guess. Seems like a lot of $$$ for something so, well, average! 10.25.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Shoptillidropgirl No one will have these!! I love these because they are super unique! No one else I know will have these and I can't wait to show them off! They are a tad big, but a tad - not really in the waist but they are long, but wide leg pants are supposed to brush the ground anyway. I am 5'7" and about 127lbs and I bought a size 2. They are perfect! 2.8.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by alm7 Amazing pants I finally just purchased these the other day. I'm 5'2 110 lbs. I normally wear a size 2 or 4. But in these I sized down to a 0. I did need to take them to a tailor to have them taken up since I'm so short. But that was quick and easy. I love these pants, I got the dark color, I think they go with everything pretty much. They are so unique and versitile. I'm so pelased with my purchase! 12.13.2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by zekelily these pants rock. Love at first sight. Found them in my local FP. store. the size 4 fit perfect, I normally wear a 27\28. 35 inseam. I am 5'9 with very long legs, I honestly, cannot wear heels in tall jeans. These drag on me .... There is not much give to the elastic waistband. These will not grow with you. :) The detailing on the bottom is beautiful.. they are very well made. they look exactly like pictured. 8.28.2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by chaela Sexy & Comfortable I ordered these very sexy looking flares in black. The style, cut and texture of the knit is great. I think they will be versatile and because of the high-waist, they should work with many tops both long and short. Most of the smaller sizes were sold out when I ordered. Normally I wear a 4/ 6 (both sold out) so I ordered the 8 because I had a feeling they might run small. I'm glad I did: I am 5'8", 125# and they fit me well (like a size small) and hit the floor when I am barefoot. Note that the black isn't a true black, more of a deep, heather-charcoal. I like it very much, but if you want true black, you should know that it is not. Also worth noting, the description says "cotton blend" and that isn't correct. The label on the pant says: 70% polyester/30% rayon with a rayon/poly lining. The only complaint I have about the pants is with regard to the liner. It doesn't fit smooth; bunches and twists and looks lumpy. I think I will remove it and wear these with black or nude tights. Much better to have a form fitting liner beneath a knit. I do think they are a bit pricy for a poly-knit pant. But they are lovely, and hopefully they will wear well. 8.21.2011
Rated 5 out of 5Â by TiffanyMichelle size down twice I sized down twice for length. These are elastic and accomodating at the waistband. The size 2 fit and gave me the right length. These are very comfortable, loose and light. Fun retro look. 12.13.2011
Rated 4 out of 5Â by cuteaspiz great pants I'm Australian size 8, sometimes a 10 in pants. I ordered the us 4 which is my normal size for us. Although they fit like on the model, the waist is very strechy so I'm sure I could have sized down one. They are super soft and comfy. So so long even in my high wedges they drag. I'm 158cm. They really are gorgeous. 5.28.2013

Jim and I have been working for a couple months on a new book which we've just released - the NXT Robotics Competition Workbook. Combining Jim's experience as an FLL judge and coach of robotics activities for kids, and my experience of being on a new FLL team which won the Robot Performance and Innovative Robot awards at the World Festival, we've written a 93 page hands-on guide to help both new and experienced teams have a better performance in their competition. From forming good team structure, to building and programming a competition robot, to brainstorming and testing problems, we try to give teams a little bit of everything. A few of the chapters include:
Assigning Team Roles: This chapter gives advice on assigning team roles to members - from Team Captain to Robot Recovery Manager, it's helpful to give memebrs specific responsibilities to make sure everything gets done smoothly and efficiently.
Designing the Chassis: Most robots start with a chassis, so this chapter gives several tips on making one that gives your robot the mobility and accuracy it needs.
Sensor vs. Motor Navigation: With the built-in rotation sensors, programming your robot's navigation purely with motor commands is sometimes a good strategy. But sensors are also great for making your robot more accurate. This chapter gives advice on when to use the different methods, as well as the pros and cons of each.
Brainstorming Sessions: It's helpful to have team brainstorming sessions when working on a challenge or trying to solve a challenge. This chapter gives lots of advice on how to run these sessions and make them successful.
The Worksheets: At the back of the book are 10 worksheets the team can use to help organize their thoughts, make decisions, make a time budget, keep track of programs, and much more! These sheets are what makes this a hands-on workbook.
Here is the Outline for the workbook:
I. Introduction
II. Managing the Team
a. Assigning Team Roles - Organizing Building and Programming Teams
b. Scheduling - developing a realistic schedule, 6 Tasks to get a team from start to finish
III. Constructing a Competition Robot
a. Good Construction Habits - documenting, cloning, inventorying your supplies
b. Designing the Chassis - developing a modular and stable base for your robot
c. Building Attachments - sensor usage, best locations, "funnels" and modularization
IV. Programming the Competition Robot
a. Sensor versus Motor Navigation - pros and cons of different methods for movement
b. Good Programming Habits - backups, version control, filenaming
V. Miscellaneous
a. Brainstorming Sessions - rules, documentation, time limits, getting started
b. Testing Your Work - incremental testing, guidelines for documenting, bug tracking
c. Building Team Unity - respect, team values, sharing
VI. Worksheets
a. 10 worksheets (permission to reproduce worksheets for use by your team)
b. Worksheet titles include "Manage Team 1", "Manage Team 2", "Team Time Availability", "Time Log", "Chassis Guidelines", "Chassis Sketchpad", "Program Tracking", "Elements of the Program", "Brainstorm Session" and "Testing"
You can find the Workbook on our Cafepress Storefront, under Workbooks.

Lol... but this isn't specifically an FLL competition workbook (though we've mainly focused on aspects of the FLL robot challenge) - it's for any NXT robotics competition.

STCC racing for age 50 and over
Sunday 29/1/2012, 9am start at Richmond Football club. If you dont have a CA licence, buy a 3 race licence for $44. Race entry fee is $5. Not too serious/ no sheep station on offer. Come and give it a try.
Re: STCC racing for age 50 and over
sweet I will be there...the over 50's do the 50k route and the over 30s the 40k route right?
Re: STCC racing for age 50 and over
Sounds good. We might have a few "over 50" riders who have not raced for a while, and hopefully the field can "assist" where required to get everyone to the finish together.
Re: STCC racing for age 50 and over
I'be heard Master6 your in a peak training phase atm.
Re: STCC racing for age 50 and over
Not today. Jeans birthday; we walked the dog on the beach. Rest of day spent trying to improve 12 volt performance in frig in caravan.
Riding tomorrow.
Spread the word to anyone over 50 with a bike Rob.
Re: STCC racing for age 50 and over
you're not over 50 master6
Re: STCC racing for age 50 and over
No, but I can remember when I was.
Re: STCC racing for age 50 and over
Looks like its a race between Master6 and Rey!
Re: STCC racing for age 50 and over
I am predicting, and hoping, for an eight man dead heat. Sadly, 4 will be disqualified for crossing the white line. The other 15 starters will be 0.3 seconds behind the winners.
Re: STCC racing for age 50 and over
I should make it clear here that I am not a committee member of STCC, and my comments are simply private and personal thoughts, supported by some of my cycling mates.
Last Sunday the first such event was conducted. Ray Appleby, Brian Palmer, Rod Hartridge, Mike Logan, Eric Jarrett, and myself took part. As you might expect, some suggestions on how to improve the event have since come to light, and five of us had a chat at Richmond on wednesday. As a result, we have been in touch with Nigel and his committee, and the roster has been revised to have 50+ events coincide with scratch race days, rather than handicap days. This avoids clashing with feature events such as Norske Skog, Hell of the South ,etc.
Importantly, the nature of 50+ events has been changed to scratch event, without grades, and controlled to the speed of the slowest rider until 5 to 10 km prior to the finish. At this point racing in earnest will commence. The exact location of this "start of racing" point will be explained in the pre race instructional address. (When at Richmond, it probably would be from Finger Post Rd.)
This new format will make it more attractive to people who do limited training. They will be assured of a comfortable ride in company with the entire field for most of the event, and have no more than 10km of hectic racing at the end.
Go to the STCC site to view the latest roster.
Re: STCC racing for age 50 and over
**please note that this will be the 51+ as of next year do to the Taxman
when do we stop for coffee???

|Pan Seared Turkey Chop with Coconut-White Wine Pan Sauce, Mango Chutney and Sage-Sweet Potato Mash
Created for KosherEye.com by Chef Shaya Klechevsky
8 turkey chops 3/4 - 1 inch thick
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Prepare Sage-Sweet Potato Mash
Prepare Mango Chutney
In a wide and shallow skillet, heat some canola or vegetable oil until it begins to shimmer. If it starts to smoke, the oil is too hot.
Lightly season the turkey chops with salt and pepper on both sides. When pan is hot, place the turkey chops in the skillet in one layer, and sear until brown. The skillet may not be large enough for all 8 chops, so work in batches. Sear turkey chops about 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned on both sides. Remove from skillet and set into a baking dish.
Once all chops have been seared and placed in a baking dish, place in the oven and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the desired doneness has been reached. This will depend on the thickness of the chops. Remove from the oven and set aside. Allow the chops to rest.
While chops are roasting in the oven, deglaze the pan by adding the white wine to the hot pan, and with a wooden spoon scrape the bottom of the pan to dislodge any of the caramelized proteins from the turkey chops (these are called sucs). Allow wine to reduce, about 3-5 minutes, over a medium-low heat.
At this stage, add the pineapple chunks to the pan with the wine reduction and season with a pinch or two of salt, and allow to cook and combine with the flavors in the pan.
To finish, add the coconut milk to the pan, and cook for an additional 5-8 minutes or until the sauce has thickened a little.
To serve, place a mound of the sage-sweet potato mash in the center of the plate. Top with 2 turkey chops and spoon the pineapple-coconut pan sauce around and over the chops. Top with a spoonful of the mango chutney. Garnish with a whole sage leaf.
Yield: 4 Servings

DUI offense cited at AA founder siteDecember 27,2012DUI offense cited at AA founder site
DORSET A Massachusetts man was cited for drunken driving after police said he drove onto the front lawn of Alcoholics Anonymous co-founder Bill Wilsons property on Christmas Eve.
Donald Blood III, 55, of Marlboro, Mass., was cited to appear in Bennington criminal court on Jan. 14.
In a press release from the Vermont State Police, Trooper Christopher Burnett said police were called to The Wilson House on Village Street in Dorset about 7:30 p.m. Dec. 24.
Burnett said police determined that Blood had driven his vehicle on the front yard, thinking it was a parking lot.
Blood was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol after an investigation, Burnett said.
The Wilson House, built in 1852, is the birthplace of Wilson. Its website describes it as a place of sanctuary where people can come to give thanks to God for their new lives. The building, which is on the National Register of Historic Places, hosts several Alcoholics Anonymous meetings each week.MORE IN Southern VermontBENNINGTON — Ask author and Bennington College graduate Charlotte Silver if the title of...

Interesting, I didn't see that text at the bottom. However, if you look at the "availability" status on the linked page, it says, "in stock".
My thoughts are that, if they took the time to change it to say "in stock", it probably is, even if they forgot to change the other text.

Haha! I ordered mine for a couple weeks ago and it shipped two days after I ordered it and my granny got it six days after i ordered it, even when it said that it was out of stock and on backorder!!
The reason I ordered it to my granny was because I live in Norway and she is coming to visit us this Christmas, and she comes at December 20`th!! I also ordered one retail version and a Recsource set (the newest one, the one with supplemental (<--??) parts for the retail set (the Education set I ordered was the homeschool pack).
I payed about 600-650 $ dollars (that approximatley 3700 Norwegian kronors). One retail version costs about 400-450 dollars (about 2700 Norwegian kronors) in Norway, and one Edu. set costs about 750-800 $ dollars (about 4500 Norwegian kronors) in Norway. The recsource set costs about 150 $ dollars in Norway, approximatley 700 Norwegian kronors, and it only costs 59 $ dollars in USA!
1 dollar ($) is about 6.0 - 6.2 Norwegian kronors.

Customer Reviews for Blindsgalore Blackout 3/4" Pleat Single Cell Cellular / Honeycomb Window Shades
"Excellent Replacement"
By MaggieLue from San Antonio, TX
Replaced another brand of blackout, top-down blinds with these - the two sets of blinds were about the same price, but I can't believe the difference in quality! My new blinds are very noticeably better made, and of much, much better quality materials. Additionally, the old blinds took almost two hours, and a lot of frustration to install - my Blinds Galore set went up easily and quickly in less than 10 mints.View this product
"Truly Blackout"
By Blackout Fan from Littleton, CO
The curtain fit great and blocks out all light. Very happy with purchase. Instructions were very difficult to follow and required two people to install. Once up, works great.View this product

Coalition targets drug use, mental health issues in RutlandBy Brent Curtis
STAFF WRITER | February 06,2013Albert J. Marro / Staff Photo
Rutland City Police Chief James Baker, shown recently in his office at the Rutland police station, is spearheading a coalition working to combat drug and mental health issues in the citys northwest neighborhood.Rutland Police Chief James Baker said he believes that law enforcement strategies based on analyzing crimes statistics can not only solve crimes, but prevent them.
How much faith does he have? So much that he believes an allegedly drug-fueled crash that killed a Rutland High School senior on Cleveland Avenue last year could have been prevented if a plan he and dozens of others are working on now had been in place at the time.
That accident would not have happened in the northwest section of the city, the chief said addressing a room full of state, local and federal officials inside the citys police department Tuesday. The people in that car were involved in the abuse of substances and were on their way to the house of someone who was abusing substances. It would not have happened if they were not on their way to a house to continue partying.
The crash involving the death of 17-year-old Carly Ferro is well-known to most residents in the city as is the second-degree murder case against Alex Spanos, the 24-year-old driver who was allegedly huffing aerosol to get high seconds before he drove into a row of cars in front of Rutland Discount Foods.
Bakers plan, which involves the cooperation of a number of law enforcement and other social services and a detailed look at crime statistics to focus those resources, has been a little more difficult for some members of the community to wrap their heads around.
But during a two-hour meeting Tuesday, the chief and other public officials focused one part of their plan on an effort that would use up to $1 million in federal funds to target substance abuse and mental health issues in the area of the city where Ferro lost her life.
Our belief is that the disorder and chaos in some of the neighborhoods in the northwest are being driven by substance abuse and mental health issues, Baker said. Were looking at a long-term strategy that will change the neighborhood.
The disorder is reflected in a poverty rate that Rutland Superintendent of Schools Mary Moran told the room was 72 percent at Northwest Elementary School and in the high number of substandard housing identified in the area as part of a citywide housing assessment completed last fall.
To address the problems, which officials in the room said dont encompass all of the northwestern neighborhoods in Rutland, city officials and a pair of professionals volunteering their time are working to apply for a $1 million federal Byrne Criminal Justice grant.
Those funds, which the city would receive over a three-year period if approved, would support a cooperative arrangement with the University of Miami and the Vermont Center for Justice Research at Norwich University, which would help map and analyze crime data in the city.
That would help us move resources and address trends were seeing, the chief said.
The in-depth data analysis would also involve the efforts of dozens of state, local and federal organizations that would address underlying quality of life issues that Baker and other law enforcement in the room said they can do little about.
Gathered in the departments community room Tuesday were representatives from organizations ranging from the Parent Child Center and Rutland County Womens Network and Shelter, to the U.S. attorneys office and a host of state agencies including the state Department of Corrections and the Agency of Human Services.
All spoke in favor of the plan and many will sit on an advisory board that officials at the meeting say will be made up not only of representatives from agencies involved in the effort but by residents living in the northwest neighborhood.
This is a collaborative effort that has the potential to revitalize the community, Rutland Mayor Christopher Louras said. I think were on the verge of something significant.

|Soccer participants actually fellate one another.
|Soccer participants are walking advertisements.
|France is successful at participating at soccer. That should say something, especially to the British.
|The "World" Cup is not the a World's Cup, but a competition among 32 countries, disproportionately allotted to European countries.
|Soccer hooligans.
|Soccer is boring. Soccer is absurdly slow. I've had soccer apologists say with false pride how the average soccer participant "runs" 4 miles in a game. Newsflash: that means they are jogging less than 3 miles per hour. Translation: they are mostly standing around. BORING.
|Soccer participants act like they've been shot - what pussies. Meanwhile, real athletes like Donovan McNabb or Bobby Baun play on broken legs.
|Soccer is too simple an activity.
|Penalty kicks. You are determining a winner by a random event that has no relevance to the rest of the game. It would be as stupid as replacing extra innings with batting practice.
|Fruity penalty cards. How stupid is it to flash up some card to indicate the severity of a penalty? Richard Simmons was inspired to use them in his diet system. Are all penalties the same? Again, the inability to use the upper torso hampers soccer participants. Use hand signals, you troglodytes.
|Psychotic fans. The South Korean loser who set himself on fire is one example. The mental stability of the murderer who killed that one player because he sucked (free clue: all soccer participants suck) is another.
|Ties: 55% of games are ties. Ties suck.
|Why not use your hands? Or your brain?
|Soccer participants do not bathe.
|Soccer hairdos.
|Pompous pseudo-intellectual Europeans who become soccer fans in order to convince the populace of their link to the common man.
|Soccer participants with one name. I can understand why your parents would disown any soccer participant, but they should take at least any last name.
To hell with insincerity. Fuck you!
To hell with insincerity. Fuck you!
|Soccer hilites concentrate on what almost happens. WhenESPN has the poor sense to show soccer hilites, they show missed shots, missed passes, etc. Any real sport shows things that actually contribute to the result. Soccer participants do not care about the result.
|Soccer fans justify the activity based entirely on its popularity. Not only are the reasons why soccer is popular an argument against soccer, but it really shows how pathetic said activity is when that is the only argument soccer fans come up with.
|The correct term for 0 is zero, not nil. Take a math class.
|Buy a freaking cup, you pansies.
|Soccer is not objective. There is no play clock. The game doesn't end after the clock has run down. This adds bias, subjectivism and appeals to lower intellects, and it destroys the drama from last second victories. Contrast such clumsy timekeeping (shame on the Swiss, who should know better) and the lack of any discernable strategy with the strategic precision of the two-minute drill in football.
|Soccer is not objective, part two. The lack of offensive chances leads to ties, which, as we know, suck. Soccer's "solution?" Let's randomize the result (in those cases where a tie suddenly becomes an affront, the "World" Cup) by having penalty kicks.
|Soccer participants on the same team have different jerseys. The obviously higher intelligence of hockey (goaltender) or football (offensive linemen) fans and referees is evident, since we don't need a different uniform to indicate a different privilege in the rule book.
|Soccer is Third World inexpensive. Ordinarily, this would not be a problem. Most people don't consider buying hockey or football equipment expensive in civilized countries, but in the context of the rest of the world, it is expensive. On the other hand, soccer is dirt cheap - and by dirt cheap, I mean slum kids in Brazil rolling up balls of dirt to kick around.
|Soccer apologists say the reason it is not popular in the US is because it wasn't invented in the US. First, soccer originated from the North American game called pasuckuakohowog several hundred years before the British played something resembling it. Second, basketball was the creation of a Canadian, yet is very popular in the US. Third, football was the creation of a Canadian, yet is very popular in the US.
|Soccer apologists say the reason it is not popular in the US is because the US is not any good at that activity. The US soccer team won the World Cup in 1991 and 1999. Better find another reason.
|Soccer apologists say soccer is an athletic activity. Using the Olympics as a barometer, it is pretty obvious that those countries that lack athletic prowess (Britain, France) are successful at soccer. Interesting to note, despite the inclusion of activities like soccer and walking in the Olympics (and the wrongful exclusion of football and rodeo), how those countries where soccer is not popular outperform those countries where soccer is popular athletically.
|Soccer apologists steal terms from real sports. Hint: a pitch is something an option QB does. A draw is a running play designed to counter a strong pass rush. Football is a real sport that involves athletes in pads and helmets, not sissies playing kickball.

Watch this video and prepare for some really salty language. This guy really boils my blood and I'm going to unload it here.
Bill Maher is an asshole. I don't mean asshole like he's the guy who is 20 years too old for the nightclub and hitting on girls who could be his daughter, or the old lady at the grocery store causing a line to form as she takes time to write her check on the debit card reader.
I mean this guy is so bad his mouth competes with his anus....I mean this guy's saliva is made of feces.
Vomit is not in his vocabulary of things his mouth does, but diarrhea is.
Given the hand Obama was dealt he gets an A?!? The man was dealt the royal f*#(king flush of politics, and he screwed up so bad its almost as if played it like he was Bill Maher.
The greatest example of how truly stupid this man is came about 7 years ago, when he was criticizing what he thought was the contrived diversity of the 2000 Republican National Convention. Then he cracked a joke about how the last time the Republicans had so many black people join them on stage they were selling them..........
..........That's right, the political party that freed the slaves sold them. At that moment I was CONVINCED that at some point, somehow, Maher's brain fell out of his head.....
As you can imagine the joke was met with huge laughter by the liberal audience, which highlights how the haves and have-nots in America are not divided between rich and poor unless its in terms of intelligence.
He and Meghan McCain must have mental jam sessions where they where they combine the number of dumb things that come out of their heads and see if under any scenario it can equal less than infinity.
Maher had the potential to be among the great political humorists of our time, but he is ruled too much by the hate created by the religiosity of his liberal arrogance, which produces nothing but historically ignorant laughter that masks the sound of Lincoln turning over in his grave.

Nativity Sets – A Transcendent Symbol Of Joy And Serenity
As the leaves start to fall, many of us are eagerly anticipating the joy and serenity of the holiday season. We look forward to the warm companionship and fellowship of friends and family, and the peace that their companionship brings us. And yet, as we celebrate with one another, as we celebrate our good fortune, we also take time to reflect on the plight of those less fortunate than us.
For many of us nativity scenes hold meaning so deep that it transcends not only our religion but even our ethics and morals. Nativity scenes depict the single most joyous event known to humanity, regardless of race, religion, or culture – the birth of a child. This moving event brings all of us to a deep reflection on and appreciation for the mystery of our existence. But it also inspires us to joyful, exuberant celebration. In these two extremes of happiness lies the meaning of the holiday season.
Yet the nativity has still further symbolic meaning. It is the birth of a poor child, whose parents rejoice nonetheless at their good fortune. It is the birth of a poor child that rises to become a great leader and inspiration to millions. It reminds us that the circumstances of our birth are beyond our control, but the circumstances of our life are ours to create.
The significance and inspiration for Christians is only enhanced by all of the other apparent symbolism. The child is the leader of their faith, the one who sacrifices himself to show them the way to salvation.
With so many layers of symbolic meaning, nativity sets are widely appreciated by all in our society. In the holiday season, they bring their depiction of joy and serenity to any setting.
And there is an appropriate nativity set available for any setting. Nativity sets are a nice addition to the front room during the holidays. Juxtaposed against the exuberant joy and excitement associated with the Christmas tree and its piles of gifts, they provide a tasteful balance. A small nativity set is attractive on a book case or hearth, but sets are even available for the Christmas tree!
Nativity sets are also appropriate and elegant throughout the house. Smaller nativity sets are attractive in bathrooms, and sets of all sizes can be tastefully arranged in dinning and family rooms.
Of course, nativity sets are a traditional outdoor decoration. In this capacity, they can suit any setting. From modest depictions appropriate for porches and walkways to life-sized depictions for the yard, attractive arrangements are available for this profoundly symbolic and moving scene.
Aside from the symbolic meanings, the nativity imagery also inspires beautiful art. Ranging from excruciatingly detailed to flowing and conceptual, nativity sets are often appreciated for the beauty of the figures exclusive of symbolic meaning.
Nativity sets, somehow, transcend the many differences among us and unite us in the joy and serenity of the birth of a child.

I'm not a customizer, but was drawn here for inspiration for customs I might one day want to get made and customizers to potentially try work with.
As such, it would be cool if there was a feature whereby one could keep track of their favourites - be it individual custom pages or customizer's profiles.
Has this ever been discussed? It'd be cool, as otherwise now I'm just manually gathering links in an offline document, but that's pretty old school.
Hi Jabalong and welcome
It is possible to become a fan of any customizer here on figurerealm. On every custom is an information box on the right, if you click on the little stormtrooper helmet next to the customizers name it will take you to that customizers profile once there there's a box on the left where you can click on become a fan. Once you've become a fan, their name will show up in a box on the right hand side of your realm page (the first page you should see when you visit figurerealm). Any activity from that customizer will also show up on your realm page in the centre box.

Replacement Car Bra Information
Choose from top brands including: Covercraft and Rampage.
A car bra is an automotive accessory that is comprised of a piece of vinyl that covers the front end of the vehicle. Also known as a front-end mask, it protects the metal and paint on the front of the car from debris such as flying rocks and other things that could cause damage while you are driving. It prevents dents and scratches from plaguing the surface of the car, keeping it looking shiny and new for longer, while also adding a sleek look to the car. Customizable to the type of car you have, a car bra is available for most makes of cars. The covering has a heavy vinyl outer layer, but underneath there is padding so that the energy from whatever hits the car and the cover does not affect the surface and paint underneath it. Technologically, it does more than just protect cars. The covering also allows any car paint to breath, so that there is no degradation in paint quality with the application of a car bra. It can be installed and removed easily, so whenever you need to take it off or put it back on, the product will allow you to do so. It can also be custom fitted to cars. This ensures that no matter what brand or year of vehicle you have, you can find a car bra that can be fitted to the vehicle's specifications. Front-end masks are also available from many wholesale dealers, in various configurations. Some can be extended to parts of the hood and are also available for mirror assemblies. Extra features can include air intake screens to avoid the problem of having loose debris get trapped underneath. Other variants have micro-perforated finishes that permit moisture evaporation during wet weather conditions. All of these features of car bras will keep your car looking new for as long as possible, even if it is regularly driven in rough conditions.

Love it makes my Durango look meaner & it servers a major purpose because if you own a dodge you know how the body corrodes.. Covers my bumper perfect
The overall product has been good it just seems to be a little small around the signal light but for the most part it's doing the job
1998 Dodge Durango Covercraft Car Bra
Covercraft MM42080.... fit like a glove as expected...
This was a replacement for one I had on my truck for years - that being said the fact that I had put a couple of these on before was the only reason I got this one on at all!
The instruction are horrible! If you haven't put these on before I'm not sure you'll get this on without some help - as it was it took me about 3 hours to get it done!
But let me say that the company was fast to fill the order and with no mistakes - the cost is reasonable and the product itself seems well built. But those directions - Yipes!
i figure this would be cheaper than a paint job. actually fit correctly, according to the instructions. looks pretty good! it could have so gone the other way...
The car bra fit my car very well. It was easy to put on the car and it improved the appearance of the car. I am very satisfied with the product and will highly recommend the purchase of this product to others. The bra provides protection from road tar, bugs and rocks flying upon the front of the car.

If you want to improve your surf skills to get to know your style, or if you have never surfed before and you want to learn the ways of riding a wave, our hotel in Dominical Beach is the spot for you! The South Pacific has a warm temperature, even in the rainy season. This means you don't need a wetsuit and you get a nice tan while riding the waves.
The Pacific is mysterious and the waves are different every day. Our instructors are highly experienced and can teach you everything you want to know.
Furthermore they will tell you about the rip currents and protect you when you're in the water.
When you are a beginner, the surf teacher will bring you into the white water on low tide. Here the waves are small and perfect for your first times. If you are a more advanced surfer you can go further in the ocean where wave after wave thunder down in the water.
Surfing is more than just a sport; it's a way of life. The true spirit of surfing is a very special thing, and that is why so many people change their lives to be close to the ocean to go surfing every day. There really is something magical about surfing, and once you get the hang of it you will really like the relaxing way of the surf life.
Duration of the class: 2 hours

Top 10 sales directors
campaignlive.co.uk, Thursday, 13 December 2012 08:00AM
1. Kelly Williams
Sharing commercial responsibilities with Simon Daglish, ITV's group commercial sales director is tasked with selling airtime for TV's biggest commercial channel. He is also a key orchestrator in the upward journey that ITV has put into glittery motion in 2012, helping the broadcaster to win TV Sales Team of the Year at the Campaign Media Awards.
2. Nick Milligan
According to media agencies, managing director Milligan "remains the face of Sky Media (and he knows it)". Agencies have given Sky strong praise this year for being "professional" and having clear, strong leadership. The father of four is one of the few remaining of the "old school"to stay relevant in the modern era.
3. Mike Gordon
As the managing director, commercial, at Global Radio, the relentlessly ambitious Gordon continues to sell his product with passion and gumption, leading it to be the most-awarded sales team at the Campaign Media Awards for the third year running. The Heart and Capital owner has had a bumper year financially, with revenue up by 6 per cent in a tough market.
4. Bruce Daisley
The former Google display and YouTube sales director migrated to Twitter as part of the launch team in the UK at the back end of last year, and since then the chirpy Brummie hasn't slept. Heading a commercial team that has multiplied in the past 12 months (now 40 in total), Daisley has worked hard to get agency buyers to talk about "Twitter and Facebook" in the same breath.
5. Stephen Haines
Haines, Facebook's commercial director, experienced a whirlwind 2012, working hard to keep his team focused in the run-up to, and aftermath of, its much-hyped IPO. Speculation then surrounded Haines' future, but he resolutely ignored this and led his rapidly expanding team to another record year, gaining his reward in December with a direct report to Carolyn Everson, the respected vice-president of global marketing solutions.
6. Dominic Carter
News International's commercial director is one of the rare individuals to enter the corporation's sales side and carve out an enduring career, rather than being cranked in and spat out (the casualties are numerous). On this merit alone, it is difficult to imagine Carter being left off a list of the most influential, hard-working sales directors in town. The fact that he sells a portfolio of brands that includes the most-read newspaper in the country also helps.
7. Chris Maples
The tallest man in media, Spotify's European vice-president has also lifted the music-streaming service head and shoulders above the crowd since joining in March last year as its UK managing director and European sales director, responsible for the development of the sales teams across Europe. The party animal Maples has led his team to success at the Campaign Media Awards and the IPA Media Owner Awards this year.
8. Liam Reynolds
The CBS Outdoor UK national sales director has helped his team punch well above its weight this Olympic year. While this might be expected from the London Underground contract holder and LOCOG partner, agencies have praised CBS Outdoor for a more creative approach to panel selling, leading the sales team to be crowned the best in outdoor at the Campaign Media Awards.
9. Nick Bampton
Although Channel 5 arguably had a better year in 2011, "Bammo", the channel's commercial director of sales, still justifies his place on this year's list by his sheer determination to elevate the Channel 5 brand. Advertisers are making use of the broadcaster's integrated sell as part of Northern & Shell Partnerships, which combines all of the media group's assets, but it remains to be seen if the brand has reached its editorial and commercial zenith.
10. Jamie Jouning
Without a designated commercial director at Condé Nast, Jouning is the nearest thing the luxury magazine publisher has to a digitally minded sales director. In his role as the digital director, Jouning's responsibilities have extended into the realm of convincing advertisers such as Prada and Burberry to spend sizeable amounts of cash on tablet apps in addition to the publisher's printed editions. This is something that the big advertisers were resisting as recently as 12 months ago, and it is now making a noticeable impact on the Condé Nast business.

Will Congress Pass Obama's Gun-Control Legislation Proposals?
President Obama unveiled his package of proposals to reduce gun violence today, a mix of executive actions he can undertake unilaterally (23 of them) and ideas that will require new laws passed through Congress. I'll tell you what I think about the package as a whole in a moment, but here are the major provisions:
- Universal background checks. Right now, about 40 percent of gun sales—those at gun shows, or between two private citizens—require no background check. This is a significant change.
- A new assault weapons ban. The ban in place between 1994 and 2004 was riddled with loopholes. This one is likely to be much stricter, making it harder to get new military-style weapons. But it won't affect the millions of such guns already in circulation.
- A ban on high-capacity magazines. Magazines would be limited to 10 rounds.
- A renewal of effective data-gathering and research into gun violence. Today, not only is the FBI required to destroy all background check information within 24 hours, the CDC is effectively banned from researching the causes and consequences of gun violence. Obama is directing the CDC to begin such research again.
There are a bunch of other proposals, particularly in those 23 executive actions, many of which are rather minor and involve clarifying existing policies. Immediately after he finished his statement, he signed the executive orders, but those were the easy things. The more difficult and consequential parts—the assault-weapons and high-capacity magazine bans, the universal background checks—will require Congress. It's going to be extremely hard to get such laws passed, though the background-check provision is the one most likely to succeed.
So how could you overcome that opposition? The fact is that a majority of the House of Representatives isn't inclined to go along. So there are two things you can do: boot enough of them out of office in the next election or two to change that calculation, or you can raise the cost of opposing these measures, making at least some of them decide that even if they don't like it, the politics make it difficult to oppose.
That takes a national, sustained campaign, one that drives the debate and mobilizes voters. Do the White House and its allies have it in them? I'd like to be optimistic about that. Maybe things really have changed. Maybe.

Why I Teach
Teaching is about connection. I see teaching unfolding in practical, useful and simultaneously playful and inquisitive approaches. As a result, my personal teaching style involves immediacy, humor and critical pedagogy coupled with discussion and lecture.
I teach because I appreciate the interaction of ideas. Teaching is as much about encountering new ideas as it is about the dissemination of traditional concepts and skills. I also enjoy the challenge of creating innovative and interesting ways to encourage students to share in this discovery.

This error is typically caused by a driver passing a bad memory descriptor list. For example, the driver might have called MmUnlockPages twice with the same list.
If a kernel debugger is available, examine the stack trace.
Posted 03 January 2013 - 01:53
A "4e" bugcheck equals "PFN_LIST_CORRUPT". According to Microsoft:
In my experience, this is usually the case - a driver has caused some sort of memory list issue in the way it's freeing memory pages, and causes the crash. Without at least a kernel memory dump file of the issue, however, you now know everything that can be gleaned from the crash.
Posted 03 January 2013 - 02:05
Posted 03 January 2013 - 02:31
Who knows? Usually something loaded in nonpaged pool, but honestly it could be any driver that is accessing memory. The video driver isn't necessarily the only kind of driver that can do that . I usually suspect storage drivers, but I've seen video drivers do it, ramdisk drivers, etc.

OK I left Memtest86+ running all night and although its still not done yet, it found 5 errors. Now my question:
How do I know which memory chip is bad? Does Memtest86+ tell you which one is bad? Anyone knows?

Well the tests are done. Here's the results. I guess I'm screwed. My question is though, which module is bad? How can I tell from this result which one is faulty?
I have two 8GB modules installed for a total of 16GB.
I feel you, scorbing! I woke up on Christmas day to a desktop that just won't power on. If it wasn't the one with all of my movies/mp3's on it, I wouldn't really care too much, but now I have to save up for a new power supply. Sorry that had to happen though, bro!
