ISAF Sailing World Cup Hyeres 2013 - Double Gold for Australia
by Craig Heydon on 28 Apr 2013
Mathew Belcher and Will Ryan after winning gold in Hyeres - ISAF Sailing World Cup Hyeres 2013 Jean-Marie Liot-DPPI-FFVOILE
ISAF Sailing World Cup Hyeres 2013 - Australian sailors have won two gold medals on the final day of the ISAF Sailing World Cup in Hyeres, France, with Tom Burton claiming a come from behind Laser gold while Mathew Belcher and Will Ryan continued their dominant run to win the 470 men's class.
Persistent rain and incredibly light winds made for two challenging Laser medal races with Burton starting the day third overall, behind Croatia's Tonci Stipanovic and dual Olympic gold medallist Robert Scheidt of Brazil.
Burton came out on top after finishing fourth in medal race one, and sixth in race two, giving him gold by nine points over Scheidt with Stipanovic third.
'It feels good to win here, after not having the best result in qualifying I wanted to be back in the game and got there right on the last day with some consistent results,' said Burton. 'One of my goals for the season was to retain my world number one ranking and win the ISAF Sailing World Cup again so it's all looking good at the moment.
'The conditions today were very soft and tricky, after waking up this morning to see some nice wind the rain came in and the breeze swung and died,' he said. 'Our first race was in about five knots, but the second started in around three knots and glassed out halfway through.
'Although it was looking like a joke at some points it was something I was a little familiar with after Sail Melbourne in 2010 which was my first major podium where I beat Tom Slingsby in similar conditions,' said Burton.
'I had great starts in both races and was able to put a little pressure on the other guys from the get go. I was up in second in the final race but fell out of the pressure on the last run to lose a few boats but made sure I would stay in front of the main guys.'
Burton was joined in the medal races by fellow Australian Ryan Palk who moved up from his overnight ninth to finish the regatta eighth overall.
Palk was at the front of the fleet in both races, finishing third and fourth in the light conditions in his fourth straight ISAF Sailing World Cup round medal race.
Mathew Belcher and Will Ryan went into the final day with a 16 point lead at the head of the 470 men's fleet but with two double point medal races scheduled knew they would have to keep racing hard to finish on the top step of the podium.
Belcher and Ryan did exactly that, winning both medal races in the best breeze of the day to claim gold by 32 points over local sailors Sofian Bouvet and Jeremie Mion.
'It was a long day of waiting for us but we were fortunate to certainly get the best breeze of the day,' said Ryan. 'Race one was non-pumping and we were able to have a good start to be in the top group at the top mark, Mat did a great job weaving us a nice pathway downwind in the fickle pressure and we were able to lead around the bottom mark and for the rest of the racing, sealing the win for us.
'It opened the second race for us as we were able to just go out there and have fun,' he said. 'You always sail your best when you're enjoying it and we were able to lead from start to finish and extend throughout the race for a great win.'
'It's certainly great to have the racing form that we have at the moment, and to be able to continue Mat's winning streak which goes back to November 2011 is something special and not something that has done before at such a high level,' said Ryan. 'Racing here is still about building our skills as a team and this event gave us a big range of wind conditions which was great from that perspective. We had some tough races which required us to dig deep and it's nice to find that element to our sailing.'
Oliver Tweddell contested his first European ISAF Sailing World Cup Finn medal race on Saturday with the 22-year-old finishing the regatta in 10th position.
Tweddell was 10th in race one and sixth in race two, an impressive finish as he continues to recover from an arm injury.

Ashby wouldn't be drawn on whether Team New Zealand had started their AC50 build, with July being the usual start of what is usually a five-month build and commissioning period for an end of December launch.

Attorneys for a man twice convicted in the arson deaths of a Cleveland woman and eight children at a birthday sleepover have asked for a third trial.
Defense attorneys for 30-year-old Antun Lewis asked the trial judge Thursday to throw out the second conviction as unfair because of widespread media coverage of the crime between the 2005 fire and the trial.
Lewis, a small-time drug dealer, was convicted in December at his second trial.

By mmedinarojan

Bought this April of 2013, it's now September of 2014. A month after using this machine, I've noticed a puddle of water after every wash. I called the company I bought this from. They sent us a technician and we were told that it was a plumbing issue. I called a plumber, who said that there was nothing wrong with the plumbing. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm so frustrated.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Parecomic is a graphic novel about the system we live in—what's wrong with it, and how we might be able change it for the better. The recent upsurge in popular protest around the world shows that people are not happy with the state of capitalism and desire an alternative that will work for the 99%, not just the 1%. Parecon is one such alternative, and Parecomic brings this to life in illustrated form.
Parecomic is about Michael Albert—the visionary behind "participatory economics"—and his life's struggle as a left-wing activist in the US, beginning with the heady days of 1960s student demos and lifestyle rebellions; following the developments of the antiwar, civil rights, woman's, and Black Panthers movements; to the establishment of alternative media like South End Press and ZNet; and the development of the participatory economics model.
Editorial Reviews
—Graphic Policy
"This is an accessible and serviceable introduction to the principles of parecon and the vision of one of its founders. Recommended for readers interested in alternative economic models and the legacy of the radical 1960s."
—Library Journal
"As a primer on the history and theory of participatory economics, this title is never short on ideas, tracing the development of Michael Albert's theories on self-management, social justice, and internationalism, and their origins in the civil disobedience and consciousness-raising movements of the late '60s and early '70s. As a student at MIT, Albert was inspired by the culture of activism to found Z magazine, ZNet, and the International Organization for a Participatory Society. Some readers may wonder why Wilson (AX: Alternative Manga) and Thompson (the webcomie Green Benches) have chosen Albert's story for treatment as a visual narrative, and that treatment definitely makes some of book's issues more palatable to a wider audience. Artist Thompson is also very adept at marrying the literal and the symbolic to allow Wilson's prose, and therefore Albert's ideas, to resonate with readers. There are moments, though, when the book stalls and readers find themselves wading through lengthy, text-heavy panel sequences featuring shots of Albert discussing a given issue. Still, Thompson and Wilson can be very inventive with their effects. Parecomic is inspired at times, and as a treatise on participatory economics, it's pretty great. As a comic, though, it's just pretty good."

text: 000 FXUS63 KBIS 250751 AFDBIS Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Bismarck ND 251 AM CDT MON JUL 25 2016 .SHORT TERM...(Today and tonight) Issued at 251 AM CDT Mon Jul 25 2016 Water vapor imagery loop shows a transition from northwest towards more of a zonal flow into North Dakota early this morning. Overall expect plenty of sunshine and warmer air to overspread western and central ND. However, by mid to late afternoon, isolated showers and thunderstorms begin to evolve, per latest Global and high resolution models. A shortwave near Lewistown, Montana, will reach western ND around 12z then hang over western and central ND this afternoon. It is best reflected in the 700mb height fields and in the 850mb isotherms, with a thermal trough/cooler pocket, along with a surface and boundary layer wind shift noted in the RAP13 and GFS. It is along and ahead of this boundary that the first signs of potential convection develop this afternoon per Experimental HRRR/RAP 13 in and near the vicinity of the James River Valley. Isolated showers/thunderstorms developing from 21z to 00z Tuesday would favor far south central into the James River Valley. NSharp soundings indicate low level warm advection/veering wind profile today ahead of the surface wind shift noted above. 850mb temperatures this afternoon range from +20C in the Turtle Mountains to +27C in the southwest. This corresponds to surface highs of around 82F at Rolla to around 96F at Bowman and Hettinger. For tonight, a pair of shortwaves per water vapor imagery, one in Pendleton Oregon, and the second near Burns in southeast Oregon will both move east as well through the short term period. These shortwaves will reach central Montana and central Wyoming by 12z Tuesday. Boundary layer winds indicate that a surface low and warm front develops from northeast Wyoming into southern ND tonight. This low level convergence area along with increasing moisture advection per 850mb southerly winds will spawn increasing chances for shower/thunderstorm development across portions of southern ND tonight. However, the SREF calibrated severe thunderstorm chances remain low at 5 to 10 percent through 12z Tuesday. .LONG TERM...(Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 251 AM CDT Mon Jul 25 2016 Tuesday and Tuesday night seem to favor the better chances for showers and thunderstorms given the multiple shortwave activity slated to move through and greater instability. Most of western and southern ND remain in a Marginal Risk per SPC during this time. The SREF probability of thunderstroms and severe thunderstorms increase in southwest and south central Tuesday evening/night through Wednesday morning, then decrease Wednesday afternoon through Wednesday night. The upper flow transitions toward a northwest flow Tuesday night, with another shortwave slated for Wednesday night. However, as mentioned above, the SREF suggests there will be low probabilities of severe weather during this time period. SPC also has southwest ND in a Marginal Risk in the Day 3 which covers the Wednesday through Wednesday night period. There seems to be enough uncertainty amongst the NAM and GFS at this time in regards to strength of the wind shear. Northwest flow with successive shortwaves follow for Thursday and Friday keeping chances of showers and thunderstorms in the forecast. A brief transitory ridge mitigates chances for precipitation Saturday into most of Sunday. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Monday night) Issued at 251 AM CDT Mon Jul 25 2016 Vfr cigs/vsbys next 24hr.

Winslet: I'm confusing DiCaprio with my husband
Published: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at 1:43 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 20, 2009 at 1:44 p.m.
LONDON (AP) -- British actress Kate Winslet says she spends so much time talking about Leonardo DiCaprio she's starting to confuse him with her real husband, Sam Mendes.
Winslet is in the U.K. promoting the movie "Revolutionary Road," which Mendes directed. The film reunites her with her "Titanic" co-star and longtime friend DiCaprio.
The duo's reunion more than a decade after the melodramatic blockbuster was hotly anticipated, and both have been peppered with questions over whether their on-screen chemistry is still as strong.
Winslet told Britain's GMTV Monday that DiCaprio "feels more like my husband than my real husband, I have to say. I'm talking about him so much!"

About Jeff Masters
Dr. Masters co-founded wunderground in 1995. He flew with the NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990. Co-blogging with him: Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:12 PM GMT on July 17, 2006
A cold front that pushed off the U.S. East Coast this weekend stalled out, and has spawned two areas of low pressure. The first is an extratropical or subtropical low that developed along the north portion of the front. This low is about 300 miles east-southeast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and is moving northeast away from the U.S. The storm is over the Gulf Stream where water temperatures are in the upper 70s, which is borderline for a tropical storm. The low has a large area of heavy thunderstorms on the northeast side of the center of circulation, and is undergoing significant wind shear that is exposing the center. To my eye, the system is probably a subtropical storm, and technically should be classified as Subtropical Depression Two. However, is it difficult to tell for sure, and the NHC is conservatively not naming it, since it is headed towards colder water and has little chance of becoming a full tropical storm.
Figure 1. Visible satellite image for 8am EDT July 17 2006, showing the various areas of interest along the East Coast.
The departing low has left behind the tail end of the old cold front over the waters off the South Carolina/North Carolina coast. This old front could serve as the focus for some tropical development over the next few days. There is a narrow area of reduced wind shear of 10-15 knots over this region, and the GFS computer model is indicating that the area of reduced shear will remain. Steering currents are weak, so it is difficult to tell where this system might go. The models seem to lean towards it heading northeast up the coast, possibly brushing Cape Hatteras and Nova Scotia later in the week. However, the system is currently very broad and disorganized, and any development will be slow to occur.
A very large area of concentrated thunderstorms is a few hundred miles north of Puerto Rico. This is associated with a tropical wave interacting with an upper-level low pressure system. Wind shear is 25-35 knots over this area, and no tropical development is expected. We will have to watch this area later in the week as it approaches the East Coast, as wind shear may fall and allow some slow development.
A solid-looking tropical wave has just emerged off the coast of Africa, and is headed towards the Cape Verde Islands at 15-20 mph. Water temperatures and wind shear are marginal for tropical development in this region, and I'm not expecting this wave to be a threat. It's very common this time of year to see impressive looking waves come off the coast of Africa, only to fizzle after spending a day over the water. By early August, I'll start taking these waves more seriously, when the waters are a bit warmer.

Residents returned to piles of debris where their homes once stood and rescue workers used dogs to sniff through rubble in search of survivors after a tornado two miles wide flattened an Oklahoma City suburb. At least 24 people died and 237 were injured, authorities said.
The storm cut a swath of devastation 20 miles long that ran through Moore, a town of 55,000, destroying buildings including the Plaza Towers Elementary School and a medical center. Winds as strong as 200 miles per hour ripped off roofs and twisted sheet metal around snapped-off trees and utility poles. President Obama called it "one of the most destructive tornadoes in history."
Gov. Mary Fallin, who surveyed the damage by air, said entire blocks were wiped out. The lack of street signs and debris made it difficult to tell where structures had been, she said at a news briefing Tuesday. State lawmakers were already at work on legislation to enable the use of the state's rainy-day fund to pay for recovery, she said. The fund totals $660 million, according to the Associated Press.
Officials planned to finish sweeping for survivors by nightfall.
"There ain't nothing left, nothing," said Patrick Duffy, 62, a computer programmer, as he and his wife, Kathern, sifted through a four-foot pile of soggy insulation, mud, leaves, a single shoe, a torn book and a broken table lamp – all that was left of their three-bedroom, ranch-style home. "This will all have to be scraped away."
The state medical examiner's office has received 24 bodies, Amy Elliott, chief administrative officer, said. Bill Citty of the Oklahoma City Police Department said there may be more deaths. Earlier reports had pegged the toll as high as 91.
Christina Morris, 45, said she, her husband, her sister and 4-year-old niece crowded into a tiny bedroom closet as the tornado bore down on their one-story house, causing it to shake and sway. It sounded like 40 freight trains, she said.
"We're not churchgoers, but we prayed," she said in an interview today on her front porch. "We prayed to my mother to watch over us. She passed away a few years ago."
The twister's center passed just north of their house, blowing out their back windows and covering the kitchen wall with mud. A car bumper was deposited about 20 feet up in a front-yard tree. Two short blocks away, the medical center took a direct hit, its windows blown out and parts of the building façade toppled.
"We're lucky," Morris said. "A lot of other people around here weren't."
Mark Ellerd, 49, took shelter at a movie theater across from his home of 23 years and emerged to find his roof and walls torn away. After the storm passed, he pulled a tent and other camping gear from the wreckage of a shed and spent the night in his front yard. He said he's seen four tornadoes in the vicinity, including the 1999 twister that passed within a few miles.
"I'm glad I was here, I experienced it," he said. "I'm glad I lived."
Residents mourned those who didn't, and communities began mobilizing to help one another. Donations began pouring in, including a $1 million gift to the American Red Cross from Kevin Durant of the Oklahoma City Thunder of the National Basketball Association. The team also donated the same amount to relief efforts. Churches opened their doors, and the University of Oklahoma said it would provide housing for displaced families.
The state set up a website to help those affected find services, said Fallin, a 58-year-old Republican. State employees who lost their homes would be given 15 days of leave, she said, adding that she wasn't aware of any who lost their lives or loved ones.
"This was the storm of storms," Oklahoma City Mayor Mike Cornett said at the news briefing.
Moore was also hit hard by a tornado in 1999, with the highest winds ever recorded near the earth's surface. The suburb is a middle-class community with an average household income of $64,297 in 2010, well above the national average of $50,221, according to city budget documents and U.S. Census data.
Susan Pierce, superintendent of the Moore Public School district, the third largest in the state, said the twister wouldn't ruin graduations for the town's three high schools. They'll take place as planned in downtown Oklahoma City this weekend, she said.

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Just to clarify, I don't rub the night before for a taste difference, I rub the night before to get one more task out of the way so I don't have to do it the day I cook. However, I also cut my ribs into individual ribs before putting the rub on them so there is a fair amount of time spent the night before, and I sprinkle the rub on both sides of the exposed meat.Zmokin said:I routinely rub them the night before I cook them and then store in the fridge overnight.
I can imagine with that amount of rubbing it would become very tender..henapple said:I like rubbing mine at night. In the morning I'll rub the meat again. Seems to make it tender.

New Blog on the Block
The Seattle Times' chief political reporter, David Postman, tells me that he's going to become a blogger starting Monday.
The name of the blog: Postman on Politics. The link: TBA.
And in what I think is probably a first, at least locally, Postman will now be doing political blogging almost full time. In other words, dear blogosphere doubters, the Seattle Times has just assigned its chief political reporter to work the blogosphere every day, at least through the November elections.
My take: Good move for the Times, good move for Postman, and good luck to those of us bloggers who now have to compete with him. I covered the governor's race trial with Postman last June in Wenatchee, and I remember the liveblogging that he did there check out the time stamps for his posts from day one, they're pretty intense.
POSTED 8:54 AM Monday
POSTED 9:44 AM Monday
POSTED 10:09 AM Monday
POSTED 10:54 AM Monday
POSTED 11:33 AM Monday
POSTED 11:33 AM Monday
POSTED 11:52 AM Monday
POSTED 1:34 PM Monday
POSTED 2:26 PM Monday
POSTED 2:26 PM Monday
POSTED 4:24 PM Monday
POSTED 4:52 PM Monday
POSTED 5:38 PM Monday
Granted, that was live-blogging, but still. Postman tells me his blog will be more analytical than opinionated, and that when his opinion enters into his posts, it won't be ideological. Here, I think, lies the biggest question about the Postman on Politics experiment: Given that most successful political blogs these days are highly ideological, do web surfers really want a non-ideological blog that covers politics from an "objective" perspective?
We're going to find out.

Kittitas County is facing a problem that could make access to health care impossible for some residents.
Hospitals and physicians are turning down patients who attempt to use federal health programs such as Medicare and Medicaid.
These programs are only paying for a portion of services which often leaves the rest of the bill unpaid.
Public Health Department Administrator Cathy Bambrick says places like Kittitas Valley Community Hospital can no longer afford to be left with nearly half the costs
Ellensburg businesses are burning over downtown bar patron's behavior.
Last week intoxicated bar attendies broke a window of a local business.
Later that same week an unamed assailant set a planter on fire outside Ellensburg Embroidery.
Concerned business owners proposed a Good Neighbor Policy, that would require bars to be accountable for the actions of their patrons.
Executive Director of the Ellensburg Downtown Association, Timothy Bishop thinks the local bars need to step up and be responsible.
The National Cattlemen's Beef Association are concerned over the new feed ban brought on by the Food and Drug Administration.
The new ban would make it hard to dispose of carcasses and cause extra financial burdens on ranchers.
The FDA is giving ranchers time to comply with new regulations and are allowing time for alternative disposail methods.
Since 1997 the US has prohibited ruminant feeds wich people feared caused mad cow disease.
Kittitas County Cattlemens assosiation is hosting their annual Field day on Thursday May 21 st at 4 p.m.
Field day is open to the public, it honors local ranchers for all of the hard work they've done.
Field day starts at 4 p.m. with cattle handling demonstration that will be followed by dinner starting at 5 p.m.
The event will be held at Kittitas county cattlemen of the year award winner Scott Gress's Thorp ranch.
Washington legislation passed bill 1778, offering commercial livestock rancher's financial compensation for wolf or cougar attacks on their livestock.
According to Executive Vice President of the Washington's Cattlemen's Association, Jack Field, Kittitas Valley livestock is most prone to cougar and wolf attacks.
Although the bill has been passed, funding is low, but Field believes in the next two years 50-thousaind dollars will be available to begin compensation.
Anyone interested in cattle compensation should get involved by contacting the Fish and Wildlife Department … the more involved the more likely are positive results.

View Using Active Card View all races on one page
Formscan By Thomas Weekes - EARLSON GRAY fits the profile for this better than some of the others, having run well over hurdles recently. He is without a win in Ireland but this race looks quite winneable for him. Apt Approach rates a big danger and is a useful type at his best. This event does look an ideal opportunity for him and he is sure to be fit despite making his seasonal debut here. The lack of recent hurdle experience for both Apt Approach (over three years) and Gates Of Rome (two and a half years) shouldn't really affect either of these seasoned horses much and the latter is another with solid claims here. Uncle Tom Cobley is another better known as a chaser while Prince Rudi needs to return to his very best to win.

Neutral Zone Wrap: Get ready for the finals
With the Stanley Cup Finals finally here, Evan Berofsky breaks down the pertinent story lines to prepare you for a potentially long series.
Assuming no one saw this coming. A six seed taking on an eight seed, but it's not as if either finalist finished way behind heading in to the postseason. Let's just call this the usual wackiness that happens this time of the year. For those who don't normally follow hockey, these playoffs have been as easy to predict as guaranteeing which team Rick Nash will end up with this summer. (Spoiler alert: It won't be Columbus).
Congrats to both the Devils and the Kings for reaching hockey's pinnacle. And to that one guy's dog who filled out the only correct playoff bracket on the planet. But enough about fictitious Fantasy glory. Let's see what these two have to do to get a clue. Or win it all. Whatever comes first.
Stanley Cup Finals Preview
New Jersey (No. 6 seed in the East) vs. Los Angeles (No. 8 seed in theWest)
Season series: New Jersey 2-0
Guess Ilya Kovalchuk (now on top in postseason scoring with 18 points) is really worth all that $100 million ... After heating up the first two series, Travis Zajac (10 in 11) fell back to Earth (two in seven)... Paging Patrik Elias (only six, with a lone goal in the Rangers series). Would someone please find out to where he has disappeared? ... Not bad when your fourth line (Stephen Gionta, Ryan Carter , and Steve Bernier combining for 19 points) becomes a regular contributor ... Marek Zidlicky (eight, including four on the power-play) may be the blueliner everyone expects to produce but Bryce Salvador not only leads Jersey defensemen in points (11) but can claim the best plus-minus (plus-10) of any Devil...Is there anything Dustin Brown (leads or is tied for first with plus-13, 24 penalty minutes, 49 shots on goal, 67 hits, two short-handed goals) can't do? ... After their adventures in Philly, Mike Richards and Jeff Carter (totaling 20, including four power-play goals) have been able to chip in very nicely ... Never really heard much from Trevor Lewis (13 in 72) during the regular season, but way to step it up lately -- especially against Phoenix (four in five) ... Another surprise up front has been rookie Dwight King (four in five), who posted solid numbers in two different leagues (14 in 27 in the NHL and 29 in 50 in the AHL) ... There is life beyond Drew Doughty (10) on defense, although neither Slava Voynov (three) nor Willie Mitchell (two) has regularly found the scoresheet.
Prediction: Both head-to-head meetings (2-1 and 3-0) were way back in October, so you can't really take much from them...The Devils' roster may contain more playoff experience, but there's no discounting how well the Kings have worked as a unit. The two sides have increased momentum as the rounds have progressed, so no advantage there. The city of Los Angeles has been waiting for a local winner since the franchise began 45 years ago (sorry, Anaheim doesn't count), although many residents still think the Kings play out of Sacramento. So, yeah, I'll stick to the boring pick of ... Kings in six.
The Conn Smythe candidates become increasingly obvious at this stage. You could almost swap any of these players at any spot in the following Top 5: 1. Dustin Brown ; 2. Jonathan Quick ; 3. Martin Brodeur ; 4. Ilya Kovalchuk ; 5. Adam Henrique . (Henrique may not possess the eye-popping stats (11), but you can't argue with two overtime game-series winning goals.)
Well, it's been an exciting season. But, as you well know, hockey never sleeps. There's the draft next month, but the real excitement begins July 1 when free agent season opens for business. So after the on-ice activity has concluded, sit tight and dream about the players your team will acquire (or jettison). I will return soon. Promise.

Neither side was able to find the net in a game of few chances, which the Dons ended with 10 men after Mark Reynolds was sent off for a second bookable offence.
Brown said: "I'm biased of course, but I think Aberdeen were the better team. We missed one or two chances but, having said that, our goalkeeper had an excellent save when St Mirren broke away.
"Our old failing of finding the net was apparent. We didn't score, and that's happened too often at home, of which I'm acutely aware.
"We tried three up front in (Johnny) Hayes, (Niall) McGinn and (Peter) Pawlett, with two supporting midfield players in (Gavin) Rae and (Stephen) Hughes.
"We had five committed to attack, with the full-backs encouraged to get forward, but it's just not happening for us in front of goal.
"I think it's unfair to be highly critical of Aberdeen, in view of the effort put in by the players. The commitment, particularly when down to 10 men, was there and we continued to take the game to St Mirren even with 10 men."
Of the pitch, he added: "After the international, Paul Fiske and the groundstaff worked overtime on the pitch. They did everything.
"Arguably St Mirren have the best pitch in the SPL so if it disadvantaged us, it was a disadvantage to St Mirren."
