Analytics the Driver for Latest Data Virtualization Platform Release
October 10, 2012 Leave a comment
This week Composite Software introduced the version 6.2 of the Composite Data Virtualization Platform.
According to Wayne Eckerson, director of research at TechTarget and founder of the BI Leadership Forum, "When it comes to performing advanced analytics, timely and cost-effective access to data is critical issue. Analysts spend far too much time finding, accessing and integrating the data, often leaving too little time for data analysis. This outdated approach needs to change to one that features a more agile methodology."
Composite 6.2 addresses the massive data requirements resulting from the exponential growth in big data and analytics. New analytics enablement capabilities include more analytic data sources, additional analytic platform optimizations and expanded data governance.
To enable easy access to all nearly the data sources that analysts require, Composite has addedPerformance Plus™ Connectivity for PostgreSQL 9.0 and 9.1. Beyond simple JDBC interfaces, Composite leverages PostgreSQL's optimizer and SQL extensions to maximize federated query performance.
Composite 6.2 further advances Composite's best-in-class query optimization algorithms and techniques for leading analytic platforms. Providing analysts with the widest range of analytic sandbox options, new features include heterogeneous data ship join for Microsoft SQL Server and HP Vertica; improved cache loading performance for SQL Server; Vertica as a cache target; Vertica OLAP support; and introspection performance improvements for DB2, Netezza, and Teradata.
To ensure proper governance of analytical data, Composite 6.2 adds standard support for row-level- security for finer grain data access control as well as a data lineage API for greater lineage and dependency visibility.
Composite 6.2 also provides more data services development options which support both analytic and non-analytic use cases. Composite 6.2 provides Web data service developers with greater WSDL development flexibility via concrete binding for contract-first WSDL data sources and a new JSON option for REST data sources.
For a complete list of Composite Data Virtualization Platform features, download the Composite Information Server 6.2 data sheet here.

It's blatantly obvious that Real Madrid are going to qualify from Group B. Two wins out of two, a 5-1 drubbing of FC Basel and a solid win against Ludo Razgrad mean that things are looking quite good at the moment for the world's greatest team. There seems to be large gap in quality between Madrid and the other three clubs in the Group and as such it's safe to say they are heading towards the top spot with ease.
With that in mind it leaves three teams searching for that second spot, and since Ludo Razgrad don't seem likely to shake things up in Group B the question is: Who will qualify, FC Basel or Liverpool?
A lot of people would jump the gun and say Liverpool are going to get that
Updated 21st October 2014 at 01:30 PM by Veritas
Reaction to Luis Suárez biting Branislav Ivanovic on the arm has varied from Simon Burnton describing the Liverpool striker as responsible for a perfect storm of evil in the Guardian to Jim Edwards in Business Insider arguing Suárez is probably not a psychotic man-child racist but rather a hyper-competitive player who is all about winning, at all costs - just the attitude Liverpool require to escape from the mid-table mediocrity into which they have fallen.
But what of the business consequences of Suárezs bite? In the context of the match itself, Suárez escaped punishment, and although he failed to draw a penalty out of Ivanovics reaction, he did score in the dying minutes to significantly dent Chelseas Champion League ambitions. However, after Suárez accepted a charge
Goal of the Week this week is Luis Suarez with his shot from the half-way line to complete his hat-trick for Liverpool at Norwich City.
Not that it was needed, but Steven Gerrard enhanced his reputation as a Liverpool legend with his hat-trick in last night's Mersey derby victory against Everton at Anfield.
The 31 year-old marked David Moyes tenth anniversary as Everton manager by becoming the first player to score three goals in this fixture since Ian Rush hit four at Goodison Park in November 1982.
Steven is only the fifth Liverpool player to notch a Mersey derby hat-trick at Anfield. The most recent came from Fred Howe in September 1935.
Only Ian Rush has scored more Reds goals (19) against the Toffees than Steven's eight. He shares second position with Harry Chambers and Jack Parkinson.
It all came on the night that he became the 25th player to reach the 400 appearances mark in the Premier League.
It has been widely reported that Brighton & Hove Albion created FA Cup history yesterday when they 'scored' three own goals in their 6-1 Fifth Round tie defeat at Liverpool.
Although very rare, three own goals by the same team in a game is not unique.
In fact, it happened as recently as last Tuesday (14 February). Peterhead's 6-1 loss at Elgin City in the Scottish Third Division included OG's by David Ross, Rory McAllister and Callum MacDonald.
The Premier League's only own goal hat-trick was especially extraordinary.
In a relegation season, Sunderland lost 1-3 at home to Charlton Athletic in February 2003 with the visitors benefitting from three gifts from their generous hosts in the
Our goal of the week winner is Glen Johnson for Liverpools winner at Chelsea
- On a day when the media spotlight fell on Chelseas former Liverpool striker, the key game was won by Liverpools former Chelsea right-back.
- Taking a precision pass from Charlie Adam in his stride, Glen Johnson beat England left-back Ashley Cole and held off the challenge of Florent Malouda before calmly producing a composed finish with his left foot.
- The goal gave Liverpool a vital win that takes them level on points with Chelsea in the Premier League table and gives them a significant psychological advantage before next weeks Carling Cup quarter-final meeting at Stamford Bridge.

Find Your Old Tweets: How to See Your First (Worst?) Tweet [1]
Can't remember what your first tweet was? It was probably "Hello world!" or "Is this thing on?" or "I finally joined Twitter, am I doing it right" or "Twitter sucks," but if you want to know for sure, you'll need to dig back into your archives.
Unfortunately, Twitter only displays your last 3200 tweets in your timeline, so if you're anything like me (I've been on Twitter since May 2009 and have well over 40,000 tweets), that won't cut it.
Here are the two easiest ways to find your oldest tweets, including your first tweet. (I promise these work – a lot of the methods and tools you'll find in the Google results don't.)
How to Find Your Old Tweets Using Twitter Search
Open up Twitter.com [6] and go to the search bar:
Type in the following string but with your username and the date range you want to look at:
from:username since:yyyy-mm-dd until:yyyy-mm-dd
So, for example, if I want to see all my tweets from my first month on Twitter, I'd insert:
from:egabbert since:2009-05-12 until:2009-06-12
This will show you your earliest tweets – but note that the default view is of your "Top" tweets; click "All" to see every tweet from this time period.
Scroll to the bottom and ta-da: There's my first tweet [7]!
Losing my Twitter virginity— Elisa Gabbert (@egabbert) May 12, 2009 [8]
Not my "best work [9]," I admit.
How to Find Your Old Tweets Using Topsy
This method is even easier, it's super-fast, and you don't need to know when you joined Twitter. Go to Topsy.com [10], and click the "Tweets" tab, then enter from:username.
Select "All Time" for the date range in the left-hand sidebar, and select "Oldest" from the "Sort by" dropdown menu:
There it is again!
It's almost time to go see how dumb your first tweet was, but first, let's look at the first tweets of some of Twitter's most followed.
Best and Worst First Tweets: Celebrity Edition
I looked at the first tweets from everyone on the Top 100 most followed list [11], and let me tell you, the rich and famous can be pretty boring. Here are the first tweets that made me smile/laugh/cry:
First up, Lady Gaga – she starts off great, but …
Hello my filthy , fabulous, dirty rich, fame lovers. I'm in Miami right now, just had a crazy week/ day preparing for winter music confe ...— Lady Gaga (@ladygaga) March 27, 2008 [12]
She didn't quite grasp the 140-character limit yet, bless her heart. But at least Gaga typed that tweet in herself. Britney's team didn't get the memo that celebrity tweets are supposed to be in the first person:
Welcome to Britney Spears' Twitter! Follow the latest in Britney news and get updates straight from Britney and her entourage.— Britney Spears (@britneyspears) October 10, 2008 [13]
I expected better from Ellen DeGeneres, but at least she didn't say "Is this thing on":
Tis my first twitt-er. Or tweet? Twit? Or tweet? "Twit or tweet everybody." Is this anything?— Ellen DeGeneres (@TheEllenShow) March 10, 2009 [14]
Pink's first tweet was actually funny! And only got 42 favorites, for shame.
i have officially entered the 20th century. i mean the 21st.— P!nk (@Pink) April 4, 2009 [15]
Nicki Minaj's first tweet was pretty generic …
I was FINALLY convinced to get on Twitter! Follow me guys!— IG: @NickiMinaj (@NICKIMINAJ) April 27, 2009 [16]
But the second one was good:
A picture icon will come when I get to a computer!— IG: @NickiMinaj (@NICKIMINAJ) April 27, 2009 [17]
Eminem's first tweets are creeping me out:
We Made You— Marshall Mathers (@Eminem) March 21, 2009 [18]
We're the ones that made you... Tuesday.— Marshall Mathers (@Eminem) April 2, 2009 [19]
Lil Wayne's first tweet was a little bit NSFW:
im super new to this twitter shit but wudup tho !..........follow me biot¢h..........wudup mak......happy bday LO......8 days of freedom..ym— Lil Wayne WEEZY F (@LilTunechi) February 22, 2010 [20]
Paris Hilton's first tweet was definitely "on brand" … but only got 2 favorites and 4 retweets?! Where were the fans?
in Vegas at the Hard Rock with my Prince...— Paris Hilton (@ParisHilton) March 17, 2009 [21]
Oh Tyra! Tellin' it like it is, just like on ANTM (y'all KNOW I watch that show [22]):
been sitting here for 30 minutes trying to figure out a clever first tweet. still thinking...— Tyra Banks (@tyrabanks) July 17, 2009 [23]
Love ya Kanye but that's not how you spell Silicon Valley (unless he's making a witty pun about somebody's cleavage?):
He appears to have seen the error of his ways and deleted this tweet.
Best and Worst First Tweets: Search Marketing Edition
Just for fun, I checked out first tweets from a few of the most followed accounts in search marketing.
Here's Matt Cutts' first tweet:
fed the cats. they were hungry!— Matt Cutts (@mattcutts) April 1, 2007 [24]
Here's a man who knows that all the Internet really cares about is cats. UPDATE: Matt Cutts informs me that his first few tweets were part of an April Fools joke; Danny Sullivan set up a fake Twitter account for him. His real first tweet was:
I'm not sure I believe in twitter.— Matt Cutts (@mattcutts) April 5, 2007 [25]
Rand Fishkin's first tweet was about writing a presentation for SMX (snooze), but props for working a Goonies reference into the second:
Geraldine & I are in Astoria - following the Goonies trail & skipping Gnomedex. I wish I could say I felt guilty about it...— Rand Fishkin (@randfish) August 11, 2007 [26]
Danny Sullivan was very busy his first week on Twitter – or just sleeping a lot, it's unclear:
Seth Godin has only ever used his Twitter account to tweet links to his blog, so this should come as no surprise:
Seth's Blog: How to answer the phone http://tinyurl.com/6pamxs [27]— Seth Godin (@ThisIsSethsBlog) December 3, 2008 [28]
Todd Malicoat pretty much nails it, huh?
Just what we need - something to waste MORE time online. Yippee.— Todd Malicoat (@stuntdubl) March 17, 2007 [29]
Meanwhile all Aaron Wall could think about was rankings!
yippy. we got our twitter username seobook. I wonder if this will rank as well for seo book as our other one ranks for aaron wall— SEO Book (@seobook) June 23, 2009 [30]
That's so SEO.
And finally, the first tweets from our own Larry Kim! CLASSIC:
i am trying to figure out how to use twitter— Larry Kim (@larrykim) December 3, 2008 [31]
i am amazed by the awesome power of twitter— Larry Kim (@larrykim) December 4, 2008 [32]
Ha! And Larry taught me how to use Twitter!
The first tweet ever, by the way, was this one from Twitter founder Evan Williams:
just setting up my twttr— Evan Williams (@ev) March 21, 2006 [33]
Did you search for your first tweet? What did you post?

The Government Is Stealing Your Baby's BloodSubmitted by drengurinn on Sun, 02/10/2013 - 11:42
(They want your blood when you go to a mental hospital, or to the military, or to prison, and now at checkpoints, and at birth. And maybe for work in the state or federal sector or healthcare. My mother and i are discussing where else the government wants your blood.)
(i arrived late at this news, i know it's already been posted. But i'm just thinking about the literal vampirism of the State. Even Anthony James Rothschild wanted me to drink blood.)

Contractor or Employee?
Q: Currently I am employed as a developer for a small company. I have no benefits other than three weeks of vacation. I would like to start my own business and work as a contractor for this company. What advantages would there be to this arrangement, both for my current company and for me?
A: Your accountant can give you a lot more detail, but the bottom line is that you'll need other clients to be considered a contractor. If you become a contractor and only work for this one company, the IRS will classify you as an employee anyway. There is a list of rules that you can get (your accountant or the IRS will have them) that tells you whether you are a contractor or an employee.
That aside, advantages for you would be more flexibility (if they tell you when or where to work, then the IRS will say you are an employee), the ability to find other projects (and perhaps become in demand enough to raise your rates), and the feeling of being your own boss. The disadvantages are that you'd have to pay your own Social Security and employment taxes-be sure that if you become a contractor, you get more than you get now, because your expenses will increase. Plus, the company will have a lot less of a commitment to you-it is much easier to "lay off" a contractor than an employee.
Q: I am starting an HR Consulting and Training business. My question is very broad: What are deductible expenses for a small, homebased start-up?
A: You'll definitely want to talk to an accountant to get the official version, but here is some basic data:
Any miles that you drive for business purposes-to a meeting, to buy company supplies and equipment, and so on-can be deducted. The easiest thing (and the most defendable to the IRS) is to get a mileage book from any office supply store and, whenever you get in your car, ask "Is this for business?" If so, record the beginning and ending mileage on that trip. Some people combine personal trips with business trips, but I'm not sure how the IRS views that.
Other things you could probably deduct would be computer equipment in your home office, possibly furniture and other supplies for that office, a digital camera or camcorder if you can show that you use it in your business, magazine subscriptions, and meals with clients. The rules on these things are always changing, so definitely check with an accountant.
Here are some good resources to help you:
Withholding Taxes
Q: I have been asked by a family in our city to supervise the homeschooling of their three children. They would pay me $450 per week. Obviously, I would owe taxes on this money. Would I be considered a small business and responsible for my own taxes and FICA, or are the people who hire me responsible for this?
A: You will need to sit down with them and decide one way or another. If I had to guess, I'd say that they have assumed you'll pay your own taxes, and this is the typical way (as it is a fair amount of work for them to make you an employee). If that's the case, then make sure you know how much taxes and FICA you'd owe, and subtract that from the $450, and make sure it is worth it for that amount. You may need to negotiate a higher amount after you take that into consideration.
Any accountant can explain this in detail, and I'd recommend that you contact one for detailed advice. This isn't something you want to mess around with-you want to make sure everyone is on the same page.

This weekend, on January 15th, the Chevron Houston Marathon (and Aramco Houston Half) will take place in downtown Houston (and spanning quite a few miles within) marking its 40th anniversary. We want to take a minute and wish all the runners GOOD LUCK on the race ahead.
We know that many of you have been training hard - logging tons of miles in our beautiful Houston parks, coming into our grocery stores to stock up on bottled water and other healthy carb-loaded snacks to give you the energy you need, and that this race means a lot to you. This is just Fiesta's way of cheering you on (from the Internet or course). Keep up the good work, and run smart Houston!
Random piece of info - the youngest age to enter the full marathon (26.2 miles) is 12 years old, while the half marathon (13.1 miles) is seven years old. That seems crazy, right?
About Houston Marathon Committee, Inc.
Established in 1972, the Houston Marathon Committee, Inc. (HMC), a Running USA Founding Member, annually organizes the nation's premier winter marathon, half marathon and 5K. In 2011, more than 30,000 runners participated in four race weekend events organized by 7,500 volunteers, creating Houston's largest single-day sporting event. In addition to hosting numerous world-renowned road races, HMC will host the 2012 U.S. Men's and Women's Olympic Team Trials - Marathon on January 14, 2012.

Meeting Minutes
February 28th, 2011
- Location: Sayles 251
- Time: 7:45 pm
- Present: President Jinai Bharucha, Vice President Isaac Hodes, Treasurer Sarah Duane, Noe Hernandez, Justin Jack, Charlotte Turovsky, Asim Manizada, John O'Neil, Rhys Lindmark, Semira Mohammed, Marc Boyce, Senators Joe Marren, Jonathan Hillis, Arnav Durani, Bill Brinkman, Justin Moor, Ned Heckman, Mackenzie Persen, Carlton Keedy
- Absent: Kelsey Han
- Secretary: Adele Daniel
Budget Committee Recommendations
CEDI Town Hall
Review of Constitution and Bylaw changes recommended by CRB
Bylaw Amendment Discussion
Impeachment Hearing
Open Comment Period
Budget Committee Recommendations
The following recommendations were approved, with Brinkman abstaining.
III. Collective for Women's Issues
Amount Requested: $550
Recommendation: $550
IV. Carleton Parkour
Amount Requested: $150
Recommendation: $150
Amount Requested: $6750
Recommendation: Tabled.
The following recommendations were considered separately:
II. The Carleton Graphic
Amount Requested: : $1,175
Recommendation: $1,175
The recommendation was approved with Turovsky and Brinkman abstaining.
I. The Lens
Amount Requested: $1000
Recommendation: $1000
Turovsky: They lost $1000 from where?
Hodes: There was miscommunication between this year and last year among members. They thought they were getting $1000 from the Academic Dean's fund. A problem that Budget Committee saw was that they are sending issues off campus.
Turovsky: They said they wouldn't use this money to fund that, though.
Hodes: Yes.
Boyce: They couldn't' tell us how much the printing itself and the shipping itself would cost.
Hodes: I was trying to contact them. They told us it was a lump sum.
Turovsky: Can we wait for a week? This is a lot of money.
Hodes: They probably could?
O'Neill: I agree with Turovsky.
Turovsky: If they can't give us the breakdown, can we table this to next week?
Boyce: Does this come back to Budget Committee?
Hodes: No, it comes back to Senate.
Senate decided unanimously to table the request.
Amount Requested: $1000
Recommendation: $500
(Senate initially passed this recommendation, but later had a discussion to fully bid the request.)
Hillis: Motion to fully fund the Manuscript. I was reading through that request. That's to bring five poets from the cities. The reason that they should get full funding is that the ½ funding seemed arbitrary. It usually does partial funding for a specific thing. It doesn't provide the money to get what they are trying to get. The last poetry event packed the Cave. There is clearly a market for that thing. It seems silly to deny a hundred-person cohort (who support poetry at Carleton) $500.
Hodes: It was kind of arbitrary. We spent $10,000 on poetry this team. I would support funding this fully because it seems like an investment.
Hillis: This is a group that wants to establish a relationship with Carleton. This is the group that won this national competition.
Hodes: We talked to Anderson and said that he should talk to other groups for funding.
Turovsky: Is this coming out of Honoraria?
Duane: Yes.
Hernandez: They didn't ask other departments. I'm for fully funding it, but there are other sources of funding that they did not exhaust.
Bharucha: The event is this weekend. We have changed the bylaws so that people come in advance.
The motion to fully fund this request passes with Jack, O'Neill, and Persen opposed.
Motion to give the CEDI Town Hall the $600 in the Town Hall fund passed, with Hernandez abstaining.
Turovsky: Do everything you can to be at this event.
Hernandez: CEDI has to contribute $300 to get Kurry Kabob for 150 students. We might have to talk about the gap in the future.
Turovsky: We budgeted the fund for a pizza dinner.
Bharucha: Hernandez and Bill North are giving an outline for tomorrow's Town Hall.
North: The Town Hall will move towards a better way of addressing community complaints and concerns. We have talked to a variety of groups on campus and looked at a variety of models. We hope to bring this work to campus tomorrow night and get feedback on values that we should think about as we move towards more complete proposals. The first portion will be designed to get people into the issues that we are working on. We then will talk about our charge and our work. Then we want a discussion about four questions that we want people's feedback on. Senate can help facilitate the discussions. At the end, we will bring the results back, but have the written versions to inform where we go. There will be food, and I'm baking cookies.
Bharucha: 6pm tomorrow. We will be there.
Review of Constitution and Bylaw changes recommended by CRB
Hodes: We are going to go over the constitutional changes. In years past, we failed to advertise, so people abstained from voting and the changes fail. This year, we will advertise better so that people know what they are voting on. The CRB is the Constitutional Review Board that has to meet every winter to go over the Constitution and bylaws. First, for appointments, we can't interview everyone, so we added that we just review applications. We changed the requirement for impeachment votes from 2/3 to ¾. They were elected to office by the student body.
Bharucha: Any questions?
Persen: Are we still saying abstentions are not part of the number of "voting members"?
Bharucha: Yes, we clarified that, too.
Hodes: Everyone has to vote on impeachment, because it a procedural vote.
Keedy: This says that impeachees are going to leave the room, but don't they have to vote?
Bharucha: They would come back in for the vote. The bylaw says that we can ask non-CSA members to leave. We saw the need to ask students to leave during impeachment meetings, so we added that to the bylaws.
Boyce pointed out two grammatical errors in the changes; they were fixed.
Turovsky: In the requirements for convening, is there a logic for changing it from one-tenth to twenty percent?
Bharucha: That's how it is in the Constitution.
Boyce: Why did we slash the section about requirements for those elected?
Bharucha: We condensed two very similar sections into one, and deleted the part about attending CSA committees. We can vote on these changes next week after they have been publicly posted.
A motion to make to the speaking time 40 seconds passed with O'Neill opposed.
Persen: Section One says that they need a petition with the signatures of twenty percent of the student body; is that in total, or students on campus?
Bharucha: On campus.
Ben: I'm a leader of MPIRG on campus. I've met with a bunch of you over the days. We just found about this change recently. Given the time constraints we look forward to talking with all of you. We have an alternate version of the amendment prepared. So we can have the option of choosing one over the other.
Turovsky: This is an element in the bylaws that existed in the past, and it needs to go back in. It is a big deal to have a line item on the comprehensive fee. Over a majority of the student body should be required. I'm very much in favor of the CRB's proposal.
Hernandez: It is going around Senate to get money through the line-item fee. It should take two-thirds of the student body to allow it. CSA doesn't even have the option to do that kind of thing with a majority. It could get messy if every group tries to do this.
Hodes: Fees of this type, that go around Budget Committee, would not normally be funded by CSA and don't benefit the campus as a whole. If I had my way, we shouldn't even have this ability to put this on the comprehensive fee. They have the option of having a negative check-off. We don't have to have this at all.
Mohammed: I don't see this as such a big deal. It is refusable and refundable.
Hillis: On one hand, I agree that it should be hard to go around. However, there is a precedent set here. The way that it has been has just required 50%, which makes me torn.
Michelle: This goes around CSA and Budget Committee because MPIRG can't get money from CSA because some of our money goes towards lobbying. Even if MPIRG benefited the student body as a whole, we would not be able to get money. This is the one process we have to go through to get money. We have to bypass CSA.
Hernandez: It is refundable and refusable. Right now, you can give MPIRG money. I don't want to do that. I don't want to have to go out of my way and refuse this. If you want to give money to MPIRG, go ahead and do it.
Hodes: You can donate to MPIRG. They don't need to extract $18,000 from students with the negative check-off. Right now, MPIRG is the only one doing this. I can bring NRA, see if you can get them to lobby enough students so they get a fee on the tuition statement. We need to make a significant barrier against doing this, but a 2/3 vote isn't impossible. It's happened before.
Lindmark: Is this automatically on our tuition statement, or…?
Bharucha: It is automatically taken, and if you want a refund, you can get one.
O'Neill: It can also be positive?
Hodes: It can, but it is a negative check-off.
Ben: What it is that we are talking about is supporting the cost of an organization on campus. This money goes to providing…
Bharucha: We need to talk bout the bylaw and not MPIRG.
Ben: It's up to the student body whether or not we want MPIRG. Adding a fee is a process that has excited for forty years and no one other than MPIRG has tried to use it.
Forrest: I wanted to question this as "going around CSA." This is requiring a lot more students than in CSA Senate. This is not going to be sneaked in. There has to be a considerable amount of involvement.
Duane: As far as requiring two-thirds of the student body: if we require that for CSA related things, we should at least require that of outside organizations. Something that so directly affects students needs to publicize. I didn't know about this my first two years. Two thirds is a lot, but achievable.
O'Neill: You said two-thirds of the student body, but you mean two-thirds of the student body voting.
Duane: Yes.
Keedy: It seems like a bad idea that students can request that the organization refund their money at any time. What if everyone says this, and at the end of the year, and that's not possible? Should there be a time limit?
Boyce: Based on the precedent we had, the simple-majority worked. It is not necessary to say that there needs to be an increased number of students. I think that people can be trusted to be educated and vote legitimately.
Hernandez: It is so direct to what you are paying. I did not know my freshman year that they were taking the money. 2/3 rejected this a few years ago. If 2/3 really wants to approve it, it shouldn't be that hard or a stopping ground for an organization.
Hodes: This is not a referendum. It used to be referred to that. A referendum requires a majority. To address Keedy, they get to choose whether it is positive or negative or refusable/refundable.
Michelle: I'm wondering where the 2/3 number comes from? Where is this used in other government structures? State referendums require a majority. Minnesota referendum to raise taxes only required a simple majority.
Bharucha: Our Constitution requires a two-thirds vote for amending our Constitution or adding a fee. We are working off our own Constitution.
Hillis: I was hoping someone would respond to the question of precedent, which we often go off of in this body. Why are we changing this?
Moran: I don't think that precedent is a solid reason not to change it. I would be more inclined to support a simple majority if the options were limited to positive check off. You have to actively take it off. It was a simple check box I would be more amenable.
Mohammed: We could require that if you have a monetary check off, you have to advertise it. That's not a reason to require a 2/3 majority. Half of the student body is larger than Senate. I don't see the reason for changing it.
Lindmark: The fee was not in our tuition statement this year. How did you get funding?
Ben: The other MPIRG chapters wanted to keep us a part of the organization. They have provided some staff support, but not on the same level.
Mohammed: I'm not a part of MPIRG. They might not get staff support. It will not exist on campus if this passes.
David: I'm in favor of CRB's proposal. Why should they have the ability to ask students to pay money on our tuition statements? A lot of us might agree politically, but it is an outside lobbying group that students on campus can work on. I agree with everything they do, but if they can't be a chartered student organization, why do they have the right to do this?
Hodes: I agree. Today we are not voting, we are just discussing. To address Hillis: our precedent is to not have this at all. We got rid of this about ten years ago. The dean of students had this posted, and we thought it was the College's procedure. But it is up to the CSA; the precedent was based on an error.
O'Neill: There is a huge threshold to get on the ballot. The only reason we will have this at all is because of MPIRG. My concern with this is that it makes it really hard for them to get it. It is important to codify this process, but we shouldn't but barriers that affect the only organization that takes advantage of the system.
Michelle: I'm a college student. Everyone who signed the petition is a college student. This is a Carleton organization. This is about the bylaw and it is not necessarily about outside organizations. This is Carleton students wanting to get money.
Bharucha: No one is making proposals. Say what your proposed differences.
Brinkman: The big problem is the negative check-off. I would be fine with the positive check-off. My proposal is to make it positive check-off and 50% of the vote.
Ben: Essentially what our proposal is is implementing the procedure that has been in place. This is two changes to the [CRB] version that you all received. It removed the reference to chartered organizations. It changes the requirement to a simple majority. Please consider this.
Turovsky: MPIRG supports a lobbyist, and it is difficult for them to get chartered. Any organization that gets money from the student body should be a student organization, because there is a lot of oversight there. MPIRG is a great group, but it is a huge deal to take money from the student body without their knowledge.
Persen: I don't like the idea that anyone can add to our tuition. As a bylaw, this can be changed?
Bharucha: It is up for review every year.
David: MPIRG does not allow you to opt in. The only organization that has ever used this has been opt-out. There are many students involved in MPIRG, but there are also a lot in the Democratic party, and they don't do this.
O'Neil: We don't want to set an impossibly high standard. They already have to get the signatures on the position. Hodes was running unopposed this election and did not get 2/3 of the vote.
Brinkman: The opt-in in is an important part. MPIRG should change so Carleton can put up with this. You are feeding on the apathy of students.
Hodes: Two-thirds is attainable. It happened on this issue. I didn't get 2/3 because people didn't vote or voted for Bobby Davis because they knew I would be elected. I'm opposed to having this in the bylaws as a whole. A positive check off is an alternative. The money we give to MPIRG goes to lobby or to a staff member's salary.
Durani: When I saw the comprehensive fee, I thought that MPIRG was part of the education, and if I didn't pay it I would miss out on some part of the education. It should first of all be a positive check off and clearly visible as a separate thing.
Hillis: I would opt out of this on tuition statement, and I wouldn't join MPIRG. However, we are dealing with a forty-year precedent. We don't necessarily need to stick with this, but we need to step back and make sure there is a good reason to go against it.
Hernandez: Forty years?
Bharcha: Started in 1987. We have no reasons for why it was removed in the 2000s.
Hodes: Technically they should not have been able to do this before.
Hernandez: This shouldn't be allowed at all, but it should at least be a positive check off. This is feeding off the apathy of students. Freshman specifically. MPIRG stopped getting funding with a 2/3 vote.
Moran: The change that MPIRG made on their proposal changed the "chartered organization" part. Under the CRB proposal, could they go through this process?
Bharucha: It means that would have to be chartered. We can charter them.
Moran: I would support positive check-off and explaining it very thoroughly on the tuition statement.
Durani: Especially when you are looking at international students, you have to go through so much paperwork. That's stressful.
Michelle: Can I urge that you move both of these proposals to the next meeting?
Hodes: They will both be posted.
Motion to cap the speakers list passes with Keedy abstaining.
Duane: Senators: Your opinion is valuable, but doesn't necessarily need to be known to all of students.
Manizada: I wouldn't call you tyrannical. Could we work out a positive check-off?
Michelle: I'm on MPIRG board of directors, and no, we can't have a positive check-off. We cannot support the type of program we want to have with a positive check-off. If you have the option to check yes or no, you think other people will check yes so you check no. Feasibly, we wouldn't be able to deal with that.
Heckman: This is a bylaw change and should have nothing to do with MPIRG. I think we should decide to get rid of the negative check-off as a compromise of allowing people from the outside, but getting rid of negative and refusable/refundable. That's an idea for a compromise.
David: Don't use the precedent argument. There are bad policies with a precedent. That's not a reason why they should be kept. You should have the intellectual patience to look at this situation. Say why you think this process should exist. Make the precedent argument well. If people were given a choice, they would not fund MPIRG.
Hodes: I'm in favor of not having this as an option, or, if we must, having only a positive check-off.
Boyce: What do you mean by not having this?
Hodes: Not having an option for a group to get money on the tuition statement and insuring it couldn't happen.
Boyce: What about turning from this and instead educating people on what they have to vote on?
Hillis: I'm all for change if it is change for a good reason. However, when you have something with a history of precedent, it requires a standard of thought for chaning it. I might support the change, but we should think about it thourougly.
Hernandez: What is going to happen with this next week?
Bharucha: We will vote on them in the order they were received. If none of them pass…
Hernandez: I would like to propose that no group should be able to do this.
Bharucha: That would be the same as none getting passed.
Heckman: My proposal is removing the negative and refusable/refundable options.
Manizada: If everything gets rejected?
Bharucha: Then there is no bylaw, and this cannot happen.
Michelle: By taking off the negative check-off you are making it impossible for MPIRG to function. Over four hundred students said they want to vote on this in the Spring. You represent the student body.
Bharucha: Jonathon is up for impeachment.
Hillis: I've been traveling a lot. I let Bharucha know when I was going to be gone. The first week I was at Boy Scouts of America council, the second time I was meeting with the President, third time it was a CSA trip.
Turovsky: Will you continue to have these conflicts?
Hillis: That's the longest span I have to be gone. There might be some Mondays I won't be here, but most of my traveling is Friday through Sunday.
Duane: Do you want to stay on Senate?
Hillis: Yes.
Hillis was not impeached.
Forrest: The Carleton DEMS answer to an outside group. MPIRG is a student-run group. A structure like MPIRG existed in New York, but now it is not run by students. If MPIRG loses its student funding, the same thing is going to happen in Minnesota.
Bharucha: the Town Hall meeting tomorrow is really important. I emailed all my friends, and I'd appreciate if you would email your friends. We have ordered Kurry Kabab for 150 people. It is important that people show up.

I remember staying up late to watch Johnny Carson when I was a young child. There was an art to staying up late:
Jimmy Fallon is making an appearance in St. Louis
After weeks, months, even years of speculation, Jimmy Fallon is officially set to take over 'The Tonight Show' from longtime host Jay Leno, moving production of the legendary NBC late-night series to New York in 2014. The speculation had reached a boiling point in recent weeks, with the NBC late-night comedians even playfully joking about the matter, before NBC officially decided to confirm the transition. So when can we expect 'The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon?' Find out the details of late night's future inside!
Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley, and Dave Haywood — the talented musicians of Lady Antebellum — joined Jimmy Fallon on his late-night show on Wednesday night (May 2), bringing with them their chipper attitudes, despite it being after hours. The trio chatted about their world tour, their rising success, what their shows used to be like and what's coming up for them before picking up their instruments and putting on a live performance.

Any weird condom stories?
i have plenty of weird stories but here's the weirdest one... any one else got anyok so my boyfriend an I were having sex and its really almost impossible for me to be pregnant because I hadn't ovulated yet and I had just gotten over my period OK but so we had sex and we always use condoms it doesn't matter when we always do and he came in me like always... and well the condom was GONE and I was like f*** did it break... its broken b4 but I always feel it... but exactly 24house after we finished I went pee and I wiped and there was a condom... I know it sounds far fetched but its true lol anyone else got any weird stories
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
I had to see my new girlfriend I was late and in a hurry, I bought a pack of condoms from a vending machine, we were in my car and it was dark, I took the condom and try to put it on my penis but it didn't stay on, turned on the light..."XL condoms" written on the box...very embarassing lol
- Show Older Hide Older
That's good, I was only joking :) I'm sure your boyfriend is much bigger than me lol
i just added you lol pm me
What Guys Said 4
The closest I have to a weird story is I came really hard and so much sperm came out that it filled the tip of the condom and started seeping up and out of the rim of the condom and dripping back down the outside of it. It was scary when we realized what was happening. That only happened once and it was with a condom style I normally don't use.
lol remember what they teach in sex ed... always squeaze the tip lol
I did squeeze it, at least I swear I did because I always do that. It was actually out of a sample pack and the condom was one supposedly made for her pleasure and it felt loose on me! Compared to every other one in the pack it was loose, the others felt like a tight ring at the base of my penis so nothing could leak out even if semen got squeezed up the condom. Now I know if it feels the slightest bit loose it's a no go as far as safeness goes and might as well just use the pull out method.
What Girls Said 1
Me and my ex boyfriend were having sex and he was very inexperienced. I was on the pill and we'd both been checked for any sti's so we didn't use a condom. After we'd finished he put a condom on... I asked what this was for and he said 'just incase I come in the middle of the night. Better be safe than sorry'. Then he fell asleep with a condon on... But that's not even the funny part... In the morning he'd woke up, flipped the covers back and screamed! When I asked what was wrong he said 'you've bleed all over me! My d*** is covered in blood!' The look on his face was priceless when I told him we hadn't had sex a second time and it was a strawberry condom. Wondering what I ever saw in this guy!

Hawks: Bi-regional Champions
RED OAK - The Hawks varsity baseball team entered the bi-regional round of the play-offs with nearly a three hour bus trip to Bryan Rudder.
Maybe it was the long bus ride that did the Hawks in, but the nearly double digit in errors didn't help either and they lost game one of the best of three series.
Game two moved back to Red Oak on Saturday, May 7 and was a must win.
As bad as game one went, game two was totally opposite. The Hawks were focused and energized and did what they do best, they played situational baseball and took what Rudder gave them.
They went deep in the pitch count, laid bunts down to move runners around the bases and came up with timely hits into the gaps. Their defense did their job as well.
Nice pitching from Brandon McMillion, who went the distance, kept the Rudder Rangers under control the entire game and the Hawks won game two 6-4 forcing a deciding game three as most of the junior and senior class was heading off to prom.
The Hawks made it all worthwhile though, as the Hawks had taken the wind out of Rudder's sail.
In game three, the Hawks changed nothing and sent Bryan Rudder home beating them 4-2.
The Hawks will now face Texas High from Texarkana in the area round of the Class 4-A play. The first game will be Thursday, May 12 at 7:30 p.m. at Buddy Groom Field in Red Oak. game two and game three, if necessary, will be at Texas High, Saturday, May 14 at 2 p.m.

World Class Events

UK Sport is responsible for co-ordinating the bidding and staging of major international sporting events across the UK. It works in partnership with sporting and regional partners to ensure that strategically important international events are staged in the UK, to a world-leading standard.
Ahead of London 2012, UK Sport is taking the lead in delivering an events programme which is specifically designed to help the UK prepare for hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Games. Over 80 major international sporting events will be staged in the four years prior to London 2012.
- Ahead of a home Olympic and Paralympic Games, UK Sport's primary objective is to stage events that directly support our athletes in their preparations for London. Recent Home Advantage research led by UK Sport has shown that the performance gain from staging major events can be significant, with the hosts of World Championships receiving an average 25% uplift in their results. The period ahead of 2012 will see around 17,000 elite international athletes compete in a programme designed to give our athletes the best home soil experience as they prepare for their home Games.
- UK Sport's secondary objective prior to 2012 is to work with the NGBs to develop expertise within the UK's 'event-staging system'. Through major events, key staff, officials and volunteers will receive essential training, skills and experience in the run up to London 2012 and Glasgow 2014. Over 13,000 officials and volunteers will have the opportunity to learn from working at world-class international sporting events.
- And of course for the public, there's the opportunity to see the world's leading Olympic and Paralympic stars in action. UK Sport wants to ensure that people don't have to wait until 2012 to see the world's best Olympic and Paralympic stars on their own doorstep. Lead-in events will take place in over 20 towns and cities across the UK, and from as far and wide as Weymouth and Aberdeen, Hereford and Nottingham, reflecting the nationwide focus of the programme.
All this is only possible through the targeted investment of National Lottery funding in partnership with the support of regional and sporting bodies. The total programme cost will be in the region of £50 million, with the National Lottery contributing approximately £16 million of this (around 30p in the pound).
UK Sport also leads the development of research to capture the impacts of hosting major events. Its work in the late 1990s to assess the economic impact of events set the foundation for much of the subsequent regional investment into events. The Major Events team has recently led the development of eventIMPACTS, a collaborative project with other partners designed to help broaden and standardise the way the impacts of major events are measured.
With the 2012 lead-in programme largely finalised, UK Sport is looking beyond London. With several Mega Events already in place (2014 Commonwealth Games, 2014 Ryder Cup, and the 2015 Rugby Union World Cup), work has commenced with the NGBs in targeting an ambitious programme of events for the 2013-18 period, and take advantage of the unique event-staging assets that the UK will have in the coming years.
Take a look at the members of our Major Events Panel.
Key statistics
- 80 – The number of major events targeted to be staged in the lead-in programme to 2012
- £16 million – National Lottery funding invested in bidding for and hosting these events
- 500,000 – Estimated number of live spectators who will watch these events
- £2 – The target amount of public/private sector investment in events for every £1 of Lottery investment
- 13,000 – Officials and volunteers who will gain pre-Games experience through the programme

I like that... Nice job !!
Makes me want an XT600..
Nice job.
awesome man. A real man's supermoto is one that he made himself!
+1 on the old school too!
Damn nice job man!!!
Living in a nudist colony takes all the fun out of Halloween.
love what you did with that!

You all laugh because I'm different.
I laugh because you're all the same.
Thanks for the comments guys.
I´m breaking in a new set of piston rings, so I have to drive it very careful for the first 500km, which is rather painful for me, as it´s just begging to be driven hard...:-)
Looking forward to be able to pour on the coals again, and see if the 430€ for the porting job was well spent.
`84 XT 600 "Super"moto
dude one thing you really need to do is figure out how to convert ur rear drum into disc, so unsafe..... otherwise i'd say thats badass goodluck
2008 YZ250F (Fully Built)
2009 WR250x
Powercore 4 Slip-on, K&N Highflow Filter, Air Lid Removed, Zeta ZX Handguards w/ Blinkers, Fender Eliminator w/ LED Blinkers, Custom RedBull Shock Resivoir Cover, H.I.D 12000k, Custom Front Fender, Pro Taper Bar Pad, Custom Paint, Frame Sliders, Muffler Slider
When I broke in my DRZ I was somewhat careful for the first 50 (probably less) then started giving it about 80% accel/decel everywhere.
After about, lets say 200 miles, the rings would be seated about as much as they ever will be.
I took "knockout´s" advice, and have been running the engine a bit harder recently. Much more fun than lolling about at near idle for 500 km... :-)
Actually the rear brake works very well indeed. Quite powerful, and easy to manage, so I´m not planning on changing it in the near future.
I have found out that apparently a 320mm disc from a new XTX660 fits the standard hub, so I may be looking for one of those instead of messing with the R6 disc which will need a spacer before I can use it.
Another future project will involve mounting dual exhausts if I can find a cheap set at the junkyard. I absolutely refuse to pay rediculous amounts of money for a bit of stainless tube and some aluminium plugs I can make myself...:-)
`84 XT 600 "Super"moto
I like the minimalistic look!
One thing I'd change though is the location of the oil cooler. Some rock is going to hit it sooner or later.
Very few bikes look better stripped down...and this is one of them. It looks great.
I agree on the break-in advice. I broke in one motor by the book, and it had bad ring seal, lots of blow by, and used a bit of oil for thousands of miles.
The next one I rode as normal, just without any extended high rpm use, and no crawling stop and go traffic. Broke in properly almost instantly.
'96 Buell S1 Lightning RatFighter
Cool bike!!
On new motor; on first start let it warm up, then go run her up and down the RPM rang. Use WOT and down shift alot. After a few miles go home and chang the oil.
Best youtube channel EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thats is by far the coolest conversion i have seen in a very long timeQ!!!!!!!
cheers logan
nice and simple
Nice. I am having flashbacks of the old school movie "Winners Take All" when they build the bike at the end.
it's great!
Hello pelle gris. i love your bike. can i ask, do you know if its possible to modify a 250 xt cylinder, to a 600 ? can i keep the gearbox ?
Very nice bike man!!!
Thanks for the compliments guys.
Don´t think that the 600 and 250 engines share any components. First of all the the 600 has an 84mm stroke where the 250 only have 73,5mm so even if you manage to fit the 600 cylinder/piston on the bike the stroke is stille way off.
`84 XT 600 "Super"moto
Jeg kan ikke finde nogen dokumentation på min xt 250. men den set meget ud som om at den er identisk med din, dog skulle min efter sign være fa 2002, har dog kigget på alle modeller fra 2002. på nettet og kan ingen fide der ligner den. min motor ligner din men topstykket og cylenderen virker en anelse mindre.. mit problem er i høj grad at jeg er på fillipinerne og der ikke er nogen hernede der kan give mig et brugbart svar.. jeg er selv typen ikke tager et nej for et svar. jeg finder altid en løsning. jeg forstår natuligvis hva du siger med slaglængden, dog undre det mig at min gearbox ligner din til forveksling.. alting ligner din så jeg er begyndt og tænke på om min rent faktisk er en 600 ccm. jeg syntes ikke jeg kan finde en 250 ccm med den type af motor eller lign.. Jeg er ret forvirret.. håber du kan hjælpe mig lidt på vej.. jeg har ikke noget værksted eller ville jeg nok ha splittet den ad og fundet ud af det.
wow that is stunning!!!! i love it!! it definetly looks better stripped down and with sumo wheels!!! how does it handle?
Best youtube channel EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think it should be called the sext 660..... it looks really good, suits the xt's rugged and slightly agricultural image down to the ground!!!!
pelle gris is danish atleast thats what his plate says
but here its an xt 249 cc 4 valve engine.. and i believe its from 1988.
So far the engine has been "fixed" mufler modified xt 2009 design but stainles steel, the bike came with drum brakes fron and back, so this i have changed. a couple of other things which not important, gradually changeing it to look better, i really pullsled about the design, and how the headlight should be but i like your style pelle gris, and are therefor thinking to remove the headligt and make an LED thing in the front bumper..
Love the headlight placement. Is there one on the other side too? or just one?
hmmm:Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.

@ Peter. Your bikes engine does look a bit like mine, but the rest of the bike makes me think that you may have an XT 350.
There should be a model code somewhere on the engine block, in my case it´s 43F, which your should be able to trace. Google is your friend...:-)
@ Sectrew. Yeah, I have two headlights. Eventually they will be wired so the left only is used for low beam, and both together as high beam.
Actually they are 12V kitchen spots/downlights built into homemade housings, but they light up at least as good as the stock headlight.
I bought a set of used R1 stock exhausts which will be mounted shortly. Shortening them 8cm or so will make them sound really cool. A friend has a single modded R1 exhaust on his XT, and it has just the right amount of bark when opening the throttle.
At the moment mine will set off car alarms just by driving past parked cars, and eventually the cops will take notice and make me have a bad day.. :-)
`84 XT 600 "Super"moto
man ive been looking all around this forum for this bike. I LOVE IT. really is inspiration for the exact style bike i want to build. great job!
Good job! I dont think that you will have any benefit of having 2 exhaust cans... except for added weight :P
And try to find some aftermarket XTX brake components (rotor/calipers/pads) because stock brakes suck
The benefit of having two exhaust cans is that it looks cool. :-)
By now the left side looks kinda naked due to the missing plastic, so to "fill in" the void I thought that a nice titanium can would do nicely... :-)
I have been looking around for a slightly used XTX 660 rotor but I have yet to find one.
I absolutly refuse to pay the price the manufactures want for a stupid slab of iron.
When I eventually find a used disc I may make a new outer ring myself and fit it to the center using the nipples if it´s too worn to work anymore.
But so far no luck.
I have a nice 298mm R6 rotor but that will require the use of a spacer to make the caliper clear the spokes. This is also possible but it does require a bit more work.
For now I have mounted a brakehandle/master from a GSXR or something like that, and even with the stock single pot caliper/disk the braking is much improved.
Attached is a picture of a friends ´86 XT600, It´s equipped with a single cut down R1 exhaust too, and it sounds wicked. So mounting two must sound twice as good... :-)

I finally got the two R1 exhausts mounted, but it did take a lot of time since running the pipework to the the left exhaust took a LOT of headwork as well as a lot of time cutting and welding.
I can´t take credit for much more than the idea, sine the actual fabrication was performed by a good friend. I only cut where I was told to, and generally got in the way..:-)
Still to do is fitting the 320mm brakerotor I bought off ebay recently, but that will have to wait to next year I guess.

Food Author Criticizes FDA For "Fear Mongering" On Raw Milk Brie, Camembert, Despite Absence Of Illnesses
BOSTON, Feb. 15, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- A new joint study by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and Health Canada about increasingly popular soft raw milk cheeses like brie and camembert is "full of holes," according to food and business author David Gumpert.
The 189-page report, "Joint FDA / Health Canada Quantitative Assessment of the Risk of Listeriosis from Soft-Ripened Cheese Consumption in the United States and Canada", concludes there is "a 50- to 160-fold increase in the risk of listeriosis from a serving of soft-ripened raw-milk cheese, compared with cheese made from pasteurized milk."
In a post on his popular blog, The Complete Patient ( www.thecompletepatient.com), Gumpert analyzes the study, pointing out that the supposedly huge risk "is based entirely on estimates and mathematical predictions, rather than real-life data on illnesses from the soft raw milk cheeses."
Indeed, the FDA-Health Canada report itself discloses that over a 23-year period it assesses, between 1986 and 2008, there is "not a single documented illness in the U.S. from listeriosis due to brie or camembert," says Gumpert. In Canada, there were several dozen illnesses from listeria in raw milk cheeses over the same period, but it's not clear whether they involved brie or camembert.The FDA-Health Canada researchers ignore the absence of illnesses from raw milk brie and camembert and instead focus on a single 2003 survey that measured the presence of listeria in a variety of foods at retail stores in California and Maryland, using that data to work backwards and extrapolate potential dangers at farms and cheese-making facilities, according to Gumpert. He says the FDA's 60-day aging rule for cheese, in place since the late 1940s, has worked remarkably well. In his blog post assessment, Gumpert urges consumers to take advantage of a comment period that extends until April 29, to let the agency know about their concerns. David Gumpert is author of "The Raw Milk Revolution: Behind America's Emerging Battle Over Food Rights". His latest book, due out in the spring, is "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Food Rights: The Escalating Battle Over Who Decides What We Eat". He has previously been a reporter with The Wall Street Journal, an editor at The Harvard Business Review, and is author or co-author of seven books on small business and entrepreneurship.

Band accuses French Connection of ripping off video for 'lesbian kiss' ad
LONDON – French Connection and its advertising agency Beattie McGuinness Bungay have been accused of 'ripping off' a music video by Groovecutters for its latest TV and cinema spot, which features a violent fight between two women, and a lesbian kiss.
According to Groovecutters, the spot is a shot-for-shot copy of the video for its top 40 hit 'We Close Our Eyes', which was released in January last year.
The French Connection spot uses the same models, the same choreography and even the same director, David Bowie's son Duncan Jones, as the original Groovecutters video. It also appears to be shot in the same location.
Kev Keane, one of Groovecutters, said: "It's such a rip-off. I am not even sure if FCUK know how much of a copy it is. Would they have approved it if they knew it was not specially created for them to spearhead their £2m campaign.
"It just makes me laugh that something that was created for our track has been changed into something that symbolises French Connection's latest corporate message.
This is the latest piece of controversy to dog the ad, after the Advertising Standards Association confirmed it had received 70 complaints about its violent and sexual content.
The ad features two women, one symbolising fashion, the other style, who engage in a violent fight in the style of martial arts films such as 'Kill Bill' and 'Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon'. Both the video and the ad end in a lesbian kiss and a violent headbutt.
French Connection said it had not been contacted by the band and said it was unaware of any infringements.
A spokeswoman for French Connection said: "We have not had any direct communications from either Groovecutters or Virgin Records in relation to our advert. As far as we are aware, we have not infringed anyone's rights in filming our commercial."
This is not the first time the advertising industry has been accused of reusing ideas from other media. Other examples include Honda's much-lauded "cog" TV ad by Wieden & Kennedy, which drew accusations of plagiarism from two Swiss artists, who claimed it was similar to a short film they made in 1987.
Neither BMB nor French Connection were available for comment at the time of writing.

An area often overlooked at ministries is the review and approval of senior leaders' expenses. While we tend to trust our leaders' integrity, small mistakes or outright abuse can lead to questions and mistrust by donors and diminish the reputation of your ministry.
While it is more common for staff within the organization to have their supervisor review and approve expenses, this is not often true of the most senior leader. Who should review his or her expenses? The business administrator, CFO, or accountant? Or should it be the chair of the board or corporate treasurer?
Here are some steps you can take to be sure your organization has sound practices to protect both your senior leader and your ministry.
- Make sure your organization has a clear set of guidelines that specify appropriate expenses for your most senior leader. These guidelines should clearly distinguish between organizational and personal expenses, even addressing expenses that are appropriate for spouses. This is an important document for your board chair and senior leader to discuss, then present to your entire board for approval. These guidelines help avoid misunderstandings and prevent reimbursement of questionable expenses.
- As a part of the annual budgeting process, be sure the board is aware of and approves the expense budget for your senior leader. This should be in addition to the overall annual budget of the organization.
- Create a process for the board chair or corporate treasurer to review and approve all expenses incurred by the senior leader each month. This process should be easy and consistent, and it should enable the board chair or corporate treasurer to immediately address any questions.
Taking these steps will help to ensure that your board has taken adequate responsibility and oversight to protect the organization and senior leader from scandal.

The Foundation Center defines a private foundation as a nongovernmental, nonprofit organization having a principal fund managed by its own trustees or directors. Private foundations maintain or aid charitable, educational, religious, or other activities serving the public good, primarily through the making of grants to other nonprofit organizations. Every U.S. and foreign charity that qualifies under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service Code as tax-exempt is a "private foundation" unless it demonstrates to the IRS that it falls into another category. Broadly speaking, organizations that are not private foundations are public charities as described in the Internal Revenue Service Code.
Public charities generally derive their funding or support primarily from the general public, receiving grants from individuals, government, and private foundations. Although some public charities engage in grantmaking activities, most conduct direct service or other tax-exempt activities. A private foundation, on the other hand, usually derives its principal fund from a single source, such as an individual, family, or corporation, and more often than not is a grantmaker. A private foundation does not solicit funds from the public.
Not every organization that uses the word "foundation" in its name is a private foundation, and the word "foundation" has no legal meaning in and of itself. Instead you must look at how the IRS designates an organization and inquire as to whether it files a Form 990-PF (the annual information return filed by private foundations) or a Form 990 (the annual information return filed by public charities and other nonprofit organizations). Forms 990-PF and 990 are available through the 990 Finder on the Foundation Center's web site.

But now is the time when everyone else needs me most. My best friend needs me. My boyfriend needs me. And I feel like I can't be there enough for them. I wish I had better things to say. I wish there was more I could do. I want them to know I care and I love them and I'm there for them. I just feel like I could be doing more. I hope things turn out ok. Death is such a scary thought. I don't care who thinks they aren't afraid of dying or what idiot says it's going to happen sooner or later. No one should die at a young age and no one should lose their parent. I want to say things will be ok and be right. I want there to be a happy ending at the end of all this. I should be more religious and pray more. Hopefully, it's not too late to say a little prayer for the both of them and their loved ones. I'm thinking of them and hope everything will be ok.

Tyler and I met at very young ages in our Kindergarten class. We grew up in a very small school and had several classes together. We became very good friends over the years and even went to our Junior and Senior proms together. During our Senior year of high school we started dating and continued during our college years. We started talking about marriage our first year of college and when it might happen. In the Spring of 2010 we started looking at rings and possible places to have our ceremony. Since we both were starting to plan the wedding, there really wasn't going to be a surprise of Tyler asking the question. So I told him to just make how and when he would do it a complete surprise. Tyler was all for it and had apparently been planning and arranging things for months, but wanted to it be perfect for me. Tyler, his family, and I were going away for a weekend to visit his sister in October so he brought the ring with him. His plan was to take me on a romantic walk and ask me by the water in Boston. We went out to dinner and were having a great time, but Tyler didn't feel like the moment was right so he kept the ring in his pocket!!! A few weeks later he started forming another idea. Our very close family friend's had a death in the family and my family wanted to spend some extra time with them. My mom suggested we take them out to dinner so my parents, Tyler, our friends, and myself went out. When we were driving back to their house Tyler and I saw a shooting start so I made my wish. Tyler asked what it was and I just smiled back at him. He said, "Oh I think I know what it is." When we got back to their house Tyler said that someone had built a memorial at the pond and asked if I would like to go and see it. So Tyler and I started hiking up the hill to the pond. We were just casually talking and laughing, until we get to the top of the hill. Surrounding the pond (which by the way is about 2 acres) were beautifully lit tiki torches (Our siblings and Tyler had spent the day arranging them). Tyler then took both my hands and said, "We aren't really here to see a memorial." He then got down on one knee, took out the ring, said how much he loved me, and asked if I would marry him!! I was so surprised and excited!! I started crying and jumping, it was just so beautiful. Tyler then sat me down on the bench and said, "It isn't over yet." And that was when the fireworks started going off over the pond. We had our own private show. After the fireworks were finished our friends and family came up with some champagne to celebrate with us!! There were lots of hugs, kisses, and even a few toasts. My wish came true that night and on July 8th, 2011 Tyler and I will finally become man and wife!!

When she was very young, Shiratori Kuu met a tall, handsome prince. Her only memory of him is the words "Let's go. Together." Years later, a mysterious transfer student - and the spitting image of her prince - shows up at her very own school.The reserved, mysterious Kyoshiro, however, turns out to be more than Kuu bargained for. He seems very prince-like at first, but ends up coming on a little strong—rip off your shirt and stare at your chest kind of strong. To top off that inital strangeness, he is tied up in a massive battle between a race of female super-beings called Absolute Angels, who feed off of the life force of humans through kissing. Kyoshiro's partner and bodyguard, Setsuna, is also an Absolute Angel. Kuu isn't sure whether Kyoshiro is really her prince or not, but after the ensuing destruction of her school by the Absolute Angels, she has no choice but to follow him and Setsuna into the unknown.The series is a Massive Multiplayer Crossover of previous works by Kaishaku (original manga artist) and TNK (animation producer): Kannazuki no Miko, Steel Angel Kurumi, Magical Nyan Nyan Taruto, and UFO Princess Valkyrie, with those series' tendencies for elaborate character designs, Scenery Porn, and Magitek.
