City stages vinegar drinking contest
A Chinese city staged a vinegar drinking competition as part of a bid to attract more tourists.
Organisers of the contest, in Zhengjiang, eastern China's Jiangsu Province, said it was also aimed at promoting the health benefits of drinking vinegar.
Contestants were lined up and had to drink three 375ml bottles of local vinegar, one after the other, reports the Yangtse Evening Post.
First they had to undergo medical checks to ensure they did not suffer from high blood pressure, heart disease or mental illness.
Local resident Liu Yuejin won the final of the event by drinking his three bottles in only 28 seconds.
"I kept telling myself that it's not vinegar but sour honey water. This way I can drink it so quickly," said Liu.
A spokesman for the local Hen Shui Vinegar Company said: "We wanted to organise this event as a lot of people don't realise that drinking a little vinegar on a daily basis is good for their health."

Time DestroysTime Destroys.I miss you. It's that simple - I don't know if it's right, but I do and I'll admit it now;I miss you, I miss you, I miss you.I miss the way you made the most simple of acts seem so amazing; a hug, a kiss, a smile, a laugh... you made it all beautiful, you made it feel like everything.I miss the butterflies that would fill my stomach at a single thought, the unstoppable smiles and the heart flutter at the mention of a name. I miss it, I do.I miss the wanting. Wanting everything, wanting nothing - being so filled up by you that I wanted to find the highest rooftop and just scream you to the stars. I wish I did while I had the chance, I know I never will...I miss the need - needing to be so much closer, but closer never being enough... It was everything, but never, ever enough.I miss your distraction, the way you would shine so bright that you'd blind me from the shadows - I'd know the darkness was there, but your light would shield me from it...
Far AwayFar Away.You speak in riddles sweetheart."I want to make a beautiful mess of art and words and moments."Even when you're here I can tell you're not always with me, your eyes and words are far away, meant for someone elses ears to hear and your glazed gaze looks right through me."I want to be remembered, I want to be forgotten."You're such a contradiction darling, I nod and smile like I understand you but I don't - in truth I'm just content to hear you speak, to have you with me even if its just a physical presence while your mind is somewhere else."I want to burn bright, live my life in fiery moments and blaze out with a bang"Sometimes I think I get it. I give you replies you don't even hear as you're deafened by whatever wall is between me and your thoughts but I can't shake that feeling that you're saying goodbye, that you've been saying it all along."Don't you ever just want to scream or run or self destruct?"

Letter 1Hey Stranger,I just got the urge to write you to. It was the weirdest thing, I was just looking at the sky and really seeing it, you know? And I just wanted to tell you about it, to talk to you.Truth is, I haven't thought about you in well, I can't even remember how long.You mattered to me. I don't know if you knew that and I doubt I ever told you, but you did and you're not a part of my life anymore - but you mattered and because of that, you still matter to me in this weird nostalgic way.And so I was looking at the sky, looking and really seeing and I wished you were there beside me, watching it with me and I would ask you if you were really seeing too.The sky is always there, all we have to do is look up. Well, I read this book a while ago -- I wish I could tell you to read it too, I think you'd like it a lot -- and there was this part in it that said, "the sky is everywhere, it begins at your feet." and it's true if you think about it, it is all around us I'
Just A Thought - GoodbyeI hate the word goodbye.Really, I think it's one of the worst words; hate, anger, jealousy, rage... all of those negative emotions? Sure they're strong and intense, but they blaze through you and usually burn out as fast as they were ignited. But goodbye? Nothing lingers like the ache of saying goodbye to someone you care about.That feeling of seeing someone walk away or disappear from your life--whether it's permanent or temporary--while you're just left behind with the void of their absence for company, feeling lonely whether you're actually alone or not that feeling is so awful.I hate the word goodbye, I wish it didn't exist.I wish we never had to say goodbye... I wish we never had to feel it.I hate goodbye.

In the interests of fairness can film photographers suggest their favourite film photographer and win a Canon EOS5d Mk ii (having said that, don't bother sending the 24-105 lens, I've got enough doorstops already) ?

Interesting stuff Tim. It was the Live View improvements that most interested me too. When I've used a D800 in the past I've always felt its LV function was a poor relation to my Canon 5D3's. The dual window feature is definitely of interest, I often use LV to check my DoF [...]

Thank you David, absolutely fascinating - I think of you as a sort of photographer philosopher. I don't know if there is any other magazine focussing on landscape photography where you could read such stuff? Looking forward to the next part.
- Jay Patel, 13:14 28th JunWin a full-frame camera!
Tim Parkin
Amateur Photographer who plays with big cameras and film when in between digital photographs.
We get a few people saying that Great British Landscapes is a little 'Film biased' and so to try to balance things up a bit, we're holding a competition to ask people to suggest their favourite digital photographers. Everyone who provides a suggestion and accompanies it with a reason why, will be entered into a draw to win ... a film camera!!
We've been playing with some cheap cameras from e-bay to find out just what the results could be like. The Portra 400 review in the last issue showed just how good they can be (12+ megapixels at 400 iso with 19 stops of dynamic range!).
The camera is an Olympus OM1 and although it isn't automatic, it has a simple light meter and to use it with the Portra 400 we tested, you only need to be within a couple of stops and things will be good. It comes with a 28mm and 50mm lens, both of which are really sharp - in fact, take a look below for a comparison between the canon 50 f/1.8 and the Olympus 50 f/1.8.
And also, here's a comparison between the Olympus 28 f/3.5 and the Canon 24-105 f/4 (both shown at approx 200%)
So - you suggest a photographer and if you win a prize we've got a proposal. We'll supply two rolls of film and offer to develop and drum scan the best 10 shots as long as you write an article about how you got on!
And obviously we'll get in touch with some of those wonderful digital photographers to feature on the website in future issues!
To repeat .. what you'll receive is an Olympus OM1n full frame camera with a Zuiko 28mm f/2.8 and 50mm f/1.8 lens plus a camera strap plus a roll of Portra 400 and a roll of Fuji Velvia 50 plus developing at a commercial lab and finally a drum scan of 10 of the best photos and a feature story on Great British Landscapes!! Total commercial value nearly <cough> £1,000!! **
So - send us your suggestions to firstname.lastname@example.com and don't forget to give us a short reason why and a link to their website!
** Well - OK, the Olympus stuff would have cost about £500 when bought new but you can get them now for £100 for camera and 50mm lens and £50 for the 28mm lens although I've been watching for a while and got a functional copy of camera and two lenses for £40. The film is £8, the developing £8 and the drum scanning would be another £500 if you went to professional lab however I do drum scanning of 35mm frames for £8 each.
Then again a feature on GBL is priceless!!

If you want a landscape photographer, try Julian Calverley: http://www.juliancalverley.com
You got me laughing and interested at the same time Tim, nice one (o:
Comparing a 28mm prime with a zoom is hardly a like for like test though is it.
Better if we saw it put up against a Canon 28 FD, which was from a similar era and would be a more reasonable comparison.
As for Portra giving you 12+ megapixels, that, of course, depends on which scanner you use. Rather than the film itself.
Reading nonsense like this makes me wonder whether any of the other tests you do are even reasonably accurate. -
Just had a search under my bed and dug out my OM1 & OM4, along with 28mm f2.8, 50mm f1.8 and 135mm f3.5.
Lens are unmarked but a little dusty.Would these lens fit the digital Olympus PEN – E-PL1 or E-PL2 ?
I would recommend Pete Bridgwood – superb work in sumptuous colour and a deep thinker about all things photographic. I also admire the work of Paul Morton and Noel Clegg, both on Flickr. Add to that the creative peter Scammel (also on Flickr) and Peter Hyde as well as Joe Rainbow… I could go on

Warning: This page contains material that may be considered not safe for work.
Domo is a Japanese character often pasted in to relevant or major scenes of disaster as the apparent cause for destruction. Domo's usage is very similar to the more contemporary Disaster Girl. He has grown to become a pop culture icon.
Domo-Kun (どーもくん Dōmo-kun) was initially the official mascot of Japanese television station NHK[1] (日本放送協会, Nippon Hōsō Kyōkai). The station introduced the character in December 1998[2] with several stop-motion sketches made to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the station being on air. Created and animated by Tsuneo Gōda[3], Domo was formed out of sketches of shapes while Gōda was brainstorming for a mascot. The character received its name from the announceer's introduction to the second airing of the animation: "dōmo, konnichiwa" (どうも、こんにちは?), which roughly translates to "Well, hello there!"[2]
On The Web
Threads about Domo were posted on Japanese imageboard 2channel as early as 2001[4], showing up in ASCII forms[5] on the site. The same year, Domo began appearing in Newgrounds flash animations. On December 16th, 2002, a collaboration game between Newgrounds founder Tom Fulp and the site i-Mockery.com, was released entitled Domo-Kun Angry Smashfest.[6] That week, it was voted as the Weekly User's Choice game.
Domo's Personal History
According to his mythology[8], Domo was hatched from an egg and lives underground with a rabbit, Usajii. He loves watching television and is known for passing gas when he gets nervous. He also has a fear of apples, since his ancestors became extinct after eating them.[3] He doesn't speak, he only communicates via low noises that sound like his name.
Domo was introduced to English-speaking audiences when a photoshopped image of two Domo-kuns chasing kittens appeared on Fark[7] November 28, 2002. It was captioned Every Time You Masturbate, God Kills A Kitten, which became a catchphrase on its own.
The first Domo YTMND was created on July 13th, 2004[14] and over 150 have been created since.[15] Domo's official site, DomoNation.com[9], was registered on October 31st, 2005. Since then, it has grown to feature forums, video, news, games and other interactive elements.
In September 2008, Domo was featured in his first major American marketing campaign for the chain store Target.[10] During the campaign, Domo was their official Halloween mascot[12], appearing in posters and displays nationally. The following year, Domo began appearing in a 7-Eleven campaign[11] involving commercials as well as limited edition cups, signage, and food packaging.[13] Also in September 2009, TokyoPop published an exclusive English language Domo manga series. Retail stores Urban Outfitters[17] and Hot Topic[16] both carry Domo merchandise, ranging from plush toys and clothing to electronics and other accessories.
Search Interest
Since "domo" is also an initialism for the game Dream of Mirrors Online and a word in several other languages, it has been excluded from this graph. Search for Domo-kun and the Japanese translation both seem to correlate, although the search volume for both has decreased over the years.

Dog Feeding Schedules
Many of us use some sort of scheduling tool, like a Daytimer, to plan our hectic days and nights. This plan helps us to establish a routine and to get all the important tasks done. Dogs don't need reminders about picking up the laundry or going to Little League but they benefit from a schedule which includes things like eating and play time. Dogs thrive on routine and, though they do not keep track of time like we do, their circadian rhythm, or internal clock, makes it possible for them to tell when it's close to the time for a routine task.
The following sample schedule is meant for a breed or mix who is of average activity and has no health problems.
Sample Schedule of an Average Day with an Adult Dog
Food: Most adult dogs should eat twice a day. This keeps their metabolism stable and aids in digestion. You'll find they quickly catch on to when feeding time is. A sample schedule would be:
- 7:00 a.m. - Breakfast
- 6:00 p.m. - Dinner
Water: In general, it is best to leave a fresh bowl of water out for your dog every morning and every evening. Dogs should always have clean water after any activity. If you're working on housetraining or have a dog who overdrinks, you can schedule the amount and times you provide it. But watch your dog carefully and, if he seems to be thirsty, increase the amount. A sample schedule for monitoring water would be:
- 7:00 a.m. - Clean and fill bowl half-way.
- Noon - Rinse out and refill half-way.
- 6:00 p.m. - Rinse and fill half-way.
- Bedtime - Clean and fill bowl about 1/4 of the way.
See: How Much Water Should a Dog Drink a Day?
Sleep: An average dog sleeps about 14 hours a day. Unlike humans, they sleep for shorter times more frequently. A dog's REM cycle is more active than a human's and may explain the phenomenon of "chasing in their sleep." If your dog sleeps more than 16 hours a day, it is wise to check for any illness. By scheduling his activities throughout the day, you will naturally create a good sleeping routine.
Play: Play is imperative to keep a dog's skills honed, to provide stimulation and just to have fun. Play can mean a game of fetch with you, a board game where your dog has to do tricks to earn a turn, a doggie play date, or even interactive toys when you are away. Try to get two play sessions in a day. A sample schedule would be:
- 8:00 a.m. - Spend at least 15 minutes playing with your dog
- 4:00 p.m. or Right after work - Schedule a play date or try something creative like a game of hide and seek
Activity: Activity is imperative for a dog's mental and physical health. Ideally, a dog should be walked twice a day for 30 minutes. An extra walk does no harm and, in fact, will benefit you both. In our hectic society, however, this can be tough, so consider enlisting the help of a dog walker. Also keep in mind activities other than walking such as the dog park. A sample schedule would be:
- 6:30 a.m. - Walk your dog before his breakfast
- Noon - Walk your dog (this is where a dog walker could be helpful)
- 5:00 p.m. - Walk your dog before his dinner
Together Time: Together time is a bonding experience for you and your dog. This is the easiest thing to schedule as it can be on the couch while watching T.V. or outside reading a book, or on the bed at the end of the night. The key is to focus on your dog and pet and massage him. Dogs love a light massage and many are happy with your foot stroking their back. Even just sitting touching your dog is a bonding activity.
Modifications for Puppies
Housetraining: With puppies, there is housetraining to consider in your schedule. When beginning housetraining, you or someone you trust, such as a dog sitter, really needs to be on hand frequently, so you can catch your pup before or in the act and rush them outside. Older puppies can go between three to four hours between elimination. A sample schedule would be:
- Outside upon waking.
- Outside after breakfast.
- Outside around noon after second feeding.
- Outside around 4:00 p.m.
- Outside after dinner.
- Outside before bed.
Food: A puppy will ideally eat three times a day so schedule in a feeding around noon. Get a dog sitter to help if needed.
Sleep: A puppy sleeps more than an adult dog, averaging about 16 hours a day. But some will sleep for up to 20 hours!
Activity: A puppy will have bursts of energy and then flop down where he is and sleep. Try to get your puppy out as much as you can, starting with short walks and building up to 20 minutes.
Modifications for Senior Dogs
Food: Older dogs should be fed twice a day but it should be a smaller amount since their activity is limited.
Water: Older dogs may need more water than their younger counterparts.
Sleep: A senior dog will sleep more than an active adult dog, on average 16 to 18 hours a day. Just like humans, the older a dog gets, the more his needs resemble that of a puppy.
Activity: It's important for a senior dog to still get walks and mild activity. Ideally, you, or a sitter, could take your dog out three or four times a day for shorter walks. Avoid excessive activity and any rough play such as at dog parks.
Modifications for Active Breeds
There are a few modifications for active breeds such as the Border Collie, the Vizsla and any Terrier. Sleep for these dogs is often less than an average breed and you will find they are usually running around even when dozing. It can help to feed these breeds three times a day because their metabolism is higher.
Modifications for Sedentary Breeds
Breeds that are very large such as the Mastiff and the Great Dane tend to sleep more than an average sized dog. Some of the large breeds, such as the Greyhound and many of the hounds, do as well. The feeding schedule is also often different with these dogs being fed only once a day since they are not burning off as many calories.
Every dog is unique and you may have to alter your schedule depending on your dog's activity level. You also may need to adjust your dog's schedule to meet yours. The things to keep in mind are that a dog will need something scheduled every two - four hours, whether feeding, activity or playing. And consistency is key to keep you on schedule and your dog happy. Perhaps someday there will even be Daytimers for Dogs.

Report: McNamee's lawyer says he may sue Clemens
A lawyer for Brian McNamee, the man who told investigators for the Mitchell report that he injected steroids and human growth hormone into Roger Clemens, told The New York Times he will sue Clemens if he accuses McNamee of lying in a "60 Minutes" interview scheduled to air Sunday.
"He's got a chance to protect himself," Richard D. Emery, a New York-based lawyer who specializes in libel and defamation actions, told The Times. "We're not going to sue him if he doesn't do it. But if he does it, we're going to sue him."
Clemens was interviewed by "60 Minutes" correspondent Mike Wallace last Friday. The interview is set to be aired Sunday following CBS' coverage of the NFL playoffs.
Clemens' lawyer, Rusty Hardin, told The Times his client has nothing to hide.
"I believe a client who's telling the truth should tell the world the truth," he said. Of Clemens' upcoming "60 Minutes" appearance, Hardin said, "I think [Clemens] expressed himself very emotionally, and it'll give the viewer a chance to look at Roger and make up their mind."
On Thursday, Hardin added: "In his interview with 60 Minutes Roger told the truth. It is that simple. I encourage Mr. McNamee to watch the program."
McNamee claims, according to the Mitchell report, that he injected Clemens with steroids in 1998, 2000 and 2001. He said he injected the seven-time Cy Young winner with HGH in 2000.
Clemens has issued denials both through his lawyer and in a video posted on his Web site.
"Let me be clear, the answer is no. I did not use steroids or human growth hormone, and I've never done so," Clemens said in the video. "I did not provide Brian McNamee with any drugs to inject into my body. Brian McNamee did not inject steroids or human growth hormones into my body."
McNamee's lawyer, Ed Ward, said in December that "[McNamee] stands 100 percent behind the accuracy of the information he provided to Sen. Mitchell."
Shortly after the report was released, Hardin said: "... I am extremely upset that Roger's name was in this report based on the allegations of a troubled and unreliable witness who only came up with names after being threatened with possible prison time."
Also on Thursday, the New York Daily News reported that Hank Steinbrenner, the New York Yankees' senior vice president, said Clemens will not be back in pinstripes.
"I'm not signing Clemens," Steinbrenner told the Daily News in a telephone interview.
Steinbrenner said the team has Andy Pettitte, who is also mentioned in the Mitchell report and who has admitted using performance enhancing drugs, signed for one season.
"Andy is [signed] for one year and he's only 35 and he knows how to pitch in the big games," Steinbrenner said, according to the Daily News. "Roger does, too, but let's face it, he's going to be 46 [in August].
"Pettitte is just as good with the young pitchers, though Clemens was great with the young kids last year. I don't think Roger is going to come back anyway."

Partners in Rhyme Opens Spanish Territory Production Music Website
Partners In Rhyme have taken their catalog of 20,000 high quality production music tracks and created a Spanish territory website at MusicaLibreDeDerechos.net
Santa Monica, California (PRWEB) January 31, 2013
Musica Libre De Derechos means Royalty Free Music in Spanish and Partners In Rhyme Inc have just gone live with their new website at MusicaLibreDeDerechos.net to exclusively serve the Spanish territory. Partners In Rhyme already has partnerships with other country specific music libraries in Poland, Germany, the UK and the United States so they are proud to announce their new venture geared specifically for the Spanish speaking market.
The needs of the Spanish musica libre de derechos market are very different than the needs in other countries. The license agreements need to be in Spanish and they need to specifically address the concerns in regards to the Spanish performing rights organization known as SGAE. SGAE is one of the more diligent companies in collecting royalties for any use of their composer's music which is why MusicaLibreDerechos.net completely removes them from the picture by only distributing truly royalty free music that is not registered or tracked by any performing rights agency.
MusicaLIbreDeDerechos.net also has all descriptions, titles and keywords in Spanish to make it easier for Spanish only speakers to find the music they need quickly and easily. We also have Spanish speaking employees available for any support phone calls or support emails from our Spanish clients.
Partners In Rhyme Inc has been delivering stock music and sound effects online since 1996 and is one of the most trusted music distributors on the internet. They only accept the best composer into their catalog and afterwards they review every music track before it is made available online. This makes for a streamlined catalog with nothing but the highest quality music available and along with a fast search engine and many sorting options it is extremely easy to find the perfect music for a film or video project.
Multimedia producers can also check out our royalty free music catalog and our sound effects and sound effects catalog.

So, in an effort to be more consistent with my release schedule, I am going to start doing livestreams every Saturday at 6 PM PST, and go until 8 or 9.
If all goes well, I think I'll be able to do two PokePuns in that time, and maybe some extra things will happen as well. Plus having something like this where anyone can show up at any time means I'll have to work on it for real.
First one will be tonight, if any of you can make it on such short notice. You can find the stream here: www.livestream.com/chorpsaway

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Spread betting is any of various types of wagering on the outcome of an event, where the pay-off is based on the accuracy of the wager, rather than a simple "win or lose" outcome, such as fixed-odds (or money-line) betting or parimutuel betting. A spread is a range of outcomes and the bet is whether the outcome will be above or below the spread. Spread betting has been a major growth market in the UK in recent years, with the number of gamblers heading towards one million.[1] Spread betting can carry a high level of risk, with potential losses or gains far in excess of the original money wagered.[2] In the UK, spread betting is regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority rather than the Gambling Commission.[3]
The general purpose of spread betting is to create an active market for both sides of a binary wager, even if the outcome of an event may appear prima facie to be biased towards one side or the other. In a sporting event a strong team may be matched up against a historically weaker team; almost every game will have a favorite and an underdog. If the wager is simply "Will the favorite win?", more bets are likely to be made for the favorite, possibly to such an extent that there would be very few betters willing to take the underdog.
The point spread is essentially a handicap towards the underdog. The wager becomes "Will the favorite win by more than the point spread?" The point spread can be moved to any level to create an equal number of participants on each side of the wager. This allows a bookmaker to act as a market maker by accepting wagers on both sides of the spread. The bookmaker charges a commission, or vigorish, and acts as the counterparty for each participant. As long as the total amount wagered on each side is roughly equal, the bookmaker is unconcerned with the actual outcome; profits instead come from the commissions.
Because the spread is intended to create an equal number of wagers on either side, the implied probability is 50% for both sides of the wager. In order to profit, the bookmaker must pay one side (or both sides) less than this notional amount. In practice, spreads may be perceived as slightly favoring one side, and bookmakers will often revise their odds in order to manage their event risk.
One important assumption is that to be credited with a win, either team only needs to win by the minimum of the rules of the game, without regard to the margin of victory. This implies that teams in a winning position will not necessarily try to extend their margin, and more importantly, each team is only playing to win rather than to beat the point spread. This assumption does not necessarily hold in all situations. For example, at the end of a season, the total points scored by a team can affect future events such as playoff seeding and positioning for the amateur draft, and teams may "run up" the score in such situations.
Spread betting was invented by Charles K. McNeil, a mathematics teacher from Connecticut who became a bookmaker in Chicago in the 1940s.[4] The idea became popular in the United Kingdom in the 1980s. In North America, the gambler usually wagers that the difference between the scores of two teams will be less than or greater than the value specified by the bookmaker. An example:
Spreads are frequently, though not always, specified in half-point fractions to eliminate the possibility of a tie, known as a push. In the event of a push, the game is considered no action, and no money is won or lost. However, this is not a desirable outcome for the sports book, as they are forced to refund every bet, and although both the book and its bettors will be even, if the cost of overhead is taken into account, the book has actually lost money by taking bets on the event. Sports books are generally permitted to state "ties win" or "ties lose" to avoid the necessity of refunding every bet.
Betting on sporting events has long been the most popular form of spread betting. Whilst most bets the casino offers to players have a built in house edge, betting on the spread offers an opportunity for the astute gambler. When a casino accepts a spread bet, it gives the player the odds of 10 to 11, or -110. That means that for every 11 dollars the player wagers, he will win 10, slightly lower than an even money bet. If team A is playing team B, the casino is not concerned with who wins the game; they are only concerned with taking an equal amount of money of both sides. For example, if one player takes team A and the other takes team B and each wager $110 to win $100, it doesn't matter what team wins; the casino makes money. They will take $100 of the $110 from the losing bet and pay the winner, keeping the extra $10 for themselves; this is the house edge. The goal of the casino is to set a line that encourages an equal amount of action on both sides, thereby guaranteeing a profit. This also explains how money can be made by the astute gambler. If casinos set lines to encourage an equal amount of money on both sides, it sets them based on the public perception of the team, not necessarily the real strength of the teams. Many things can affect public perception, which will move the line away from what the real line should be. This gap between the Vegas line, the real line and differences between other sports books betting lines and spreads is where value can be found. Once you find the value in a line, and identify your correct winning percentage, you can input those numbers into a Kelly calculator to determine proper size of the wager to make.
A teaser is a bet that alters the spread in the gambler's favor by a predetermined margin – in American football the teaser margin is often six points. For example, if the line is 3.5 points and the bettor wants to place a teaser bet on the underdog, he takes 9.5 points instead; a teaser bet on the favorite would mean that the gambler takes 2.5 points instead of having to give the 3.5. In return for the additional points, the payout if the gambler wins is less than even money, or the gambler must wager on more than one event and both events must win. In this way it is very similar to a parlay. At some establishments, the "reverse teaser" also exists, which alters the spread against the gambler, who gets paid at more than evens if the bet wins.
In addition to the spread bet, a very common "side bet" on an event will be the total (commonly called the over/under or O/U) bet. This is a bet on the total number of points scored by both teams. Suppose team A is playing team B and the total is set at 44.5 points. If the final score is team A 24, team B 17, the total is 41 and bettors who took the under will win. If the final score is team A 30, team B 31, the total is 61 and bettors who took the over will win. The total is popular because it allows gamblers to bet on their overall perception of the game (e.g., a high-scoring offensive show or a defensive battle) without needing to pick the actual winner.
In the UK, these bets are sometimes called spread bets, but rather than a simple win/loss, the bet pays more or less depending on how far from the spread the final result is.
Example: In a football match the bookmaker believes that 12 or 13 corners will occur, thus the spread will be set at 12–13.
In North American sports betting many of these wagers would be classified as over-under (or, more commonly today, total) bets rather than spread bets. However, these are for one side or another of a total only, and do not increase the amount won or lost as the actual moves away from the bookmaker's prediction. Instead, over-under or total bets are handled much like point-spread bets on a team, with the usual 10/11 (4.55%) commission applied. Many Nevada sports books will allow these bets to be used in parlays, just like team point spread bets, making it possible to bet, for instance, "team A and the over", and be paid if both team A "covers" the point spread and the total score is higher than the book's prediction. (Such parlays usually pay off at odds of 13:5 with no commission charge, just as a standard two-team parlay would.)
The mathematical analysis of spreads and spread betting is a large and growing subject. For example, sports that have simple 1-point scoring systems (e.g., baseball, hockey, and soccer) may be analysed using Poisson and Skellam statistics.
By far the largest part of the official market in the UK concerns financial instruments; the leading spread-betting companies make most of their revenues from financial markets, their sports operations being much less significant.[citation needed] Financial spread betting in the United Kingdom closely resembles the futures and options markets, the major differences being
Financial spread betting is a way to speculate on financial markets in the same way as trading a number of derivatives. In particular the financial derivative Contract for difference (CFD) which in many ways mirrors the spread bet. In fact a number of financial derivative trading companies offer both financial spread bets and CFDs in parallel using the same trading platform.
Unlike fixed-odds betting, the amount won or lost can be unlimited as there is no single stake to limit any loss. However, it is usually possible to negotiate limits with the bookmaker:
Spread betting has moved outside the ambit of sport and financial markets (that is, those dealing solely with share, bonds and derivatives), to cover a wide range of markets, such as house prices.[5] By paying attention to the external factors, such as weather and time of day, those who are betting using a point spread can be better prepared when it comes to obtaining a favorable outcome. Additionally, by avoiding the favourite-longshot bias, where the expected returns on bets placed at shorter odds exceed that of bets placed at the longer odds, and not betting with one's favorite team, but rather with the team that has been shown to be better when playing in a specific weather condition and time of day, the possibility of arriving at a positive outcome is increased.[6]
In the UK and some other European countries the profit from spread betting is free from tax. The UK and some other European countries tax authorities designate financial spread betting as gambling and not investing, meaning it is free from capital gains tax and stamp tax, despite the fact that its regulated as a financial product by the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK. Most traders are also not liable for income tax unless they rely solely on their profits from financial spread betting to support themselves. The popularity of financial spread betting in the UK and some other European countries, compared to trading other speculative financial instruments such as CFDs and futures is partly due to this tax advantage. However, this also means any losses cannot be offset against future earnings for tax calculations.
Conversely, in most other countries financial spread betting income is considered taxable. For example the Australian Tax Office issued a decision in March 2010 saying "Yes, the gains from financial spread betting are assessable income under section 6-5 or section 15-15 of the ITAA 1997".[7] Similarly, any losses on the spread betting contracts are deductible. This has resulted in a much lower interest in financial spread betting in those countries.
Suppose Lloyds Bank is trading on the market at 410p bid, and 411p offer. A spread-betting company is also offering 410-411p. We use cash bets with no definite expiry, or "rolling daily bets" as they are referred to by the spread betting companies.
If I think the share price is going to go up, I might bet £10 a point (i.e., £10 per penny the shares moves) at 411p. We use the offer price since I am "buying" the share (betting on its increase). Note that my total loss (if Lloyds Bank went to 0p) could be up to £4110, so this is as risky as buying 1000 of the shares normally.
If a bet goes overnight, the bettor is charged a financing cost (or receives it, if the bettor is shorting the stock). This might be set at LIBOR + a certain percentage, usually around 2/3%.
Thus, in the example, if Lloyds Bank are trading at 411p, then for every day I keep the bet open I am charged [taking finance cost to be 7%] ((411p x 10) * 7% / 365 ) = £0.78821 (or 78.8p)
On top of this, the bettor needs an amount (AKA collateral) in the spread-betting account to cover potential losses. Usually this is either 5 or 10% of the total exposure you are taking on but can go up to 100% on illiquid stocks. In this case £4110 * 0.1 or 0.05 = £411.00 or £ 205.50
If at the end of the bet Lloyds Bank traded at 400-401p, I need to cover that £4110 – £400*10 (£4000) = £110 difference by putting extra deposit (or collateral) into the account.
The punter will usually receive all dividends and other corporate adjustments in the financing charge each night. For example, suppose Lloyds Bank goes ex-dividend with dividend of 23.5p. The bettor will receive that amount. The exact amount received varies depending on the rules and policies of the spread betting company, and the taxes that are normally charged in the home tax country of the shares.
According to an article in The Times dated 10 April 2009 approximately 30,000 spread bet accounts were opened last year, and that the largest study of gambling in the UK on behalf of the Gambling Commission found that serious problems developed in almost 15% of spread betters compared to 1% of other gambling.[8] In addition a report from Cass Business School found that only 1 in 5 gamblers ends up a winner.[9] As noted in the report, this corresponds to the same ratio of successful gamblers in regular trading.[10] Evidence from spread betting firms themselves actually put this closer to being 1 in 10 traders as being profitable, with a high number of clients suffering from the volatility that is supposed to be one of the benefits of spread betting.[citation needed]

Exported Conversations Are Missing Characters When Body of Email Contains Equals (=) Sign
Article:TECH159741 | | | Created: 2011-05-10 | | | Updated: 2011-05-11 | | | Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH159741 |
NOTE: If you are experiencing this particular known issue, we recommend that you Subscribe to receive email notification each time this article is updated. Subscribers will be the first to learn about any releases, status changes, workarounds or decisions made. |
IM Manager is exporting IM conversations to an email archiving system. When the IM conversation has an equals sign the email is missing characters immediately after the equals sign.
For example an IM conversation with the following content:
ohh got=thisis good it
Shows up in the email archiving system as:
ohh got=isis good it
Note the th is missing in the message.
- Viewing the IM Manager EML file in a native EML viewer demonstrates the same issue.
IM Manager generates EML formatted email messages. This format can be opened with Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail email client. If these email clients display the email in the same way then the condition is met. Perform the following steps to validate this condition:
1. Install Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail client.
2. Turn of IIS SMTP service.
3. Run an export.
4. Open the files generated by IM Manager in the IIS SMTP Pickup Directory (default c:\inetpub\mailroot\pickup) using Outlook Express or Windows Live Mail client.
IM Manager creates a multi-part MIME message. The part of the email message containing the message conversation is specified to a a MIME encoding of Quoted-Printable (see the following article for more information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quoted-printable. However the body of the message was not actually encoded with the quoted-printable encoding. When the email clients decode the body of the message the equals sign specifies the following characters to be part of a special character sequence. This renders as missing characters in the email client.

Power Rankings: Patriots are new No. 1
December, 11, 2012
By ESPNBoston.com
After Monday night's dismantling of the previously top-ranked Houston Texans, the New England Patriots jumped two spots to No. 1 in ESPN.com's latest NFL Power Rankings.
It's the second week in which the Patriots find themselves in the top spot. They were also ranked No. 1 in Week 2 before losing to the Arizona Cardinals. They dropped to as low as No. 8 before a steady climb up the charts with seven straight victories.
The Peyton Manning-led Denver Broncos -- winners of eight in a row -- moved into the No. 2 spot. The Texans dropped to No. 3. The San Francisco 49ers, who visit Foxborough on Sunday night for a prime-time matchup against the Patriots, sit in the fourth spot.

The Walla Walla Sears store will have an event Sunday that's "for the birds."
As part of the store's "Family and Friends" event, Sears will be raising funds to help support the Pioneer Park Aviary, which lost its municipal funding this year due to budget cuts.
Janet Holm, apparel manager for the Sears store at 1631 W. Rose St., said the store will have pictures of birds for kids to take home and color, then return to the store to show their support. Financial contributions to support the aviary will be accepted throughout the event, which also includes sale prices on winter clearance and additional storewide discounts.
"It is hard to imagine Pioneer Park without the aviary and all the beautiful, exotic birds that live there," Holm said in the announcement.
CrossRoads Steakhouse will soon be serving up breakfast on the weekends.
The downtown Walla Walla steakhouse at 207 W. Main St. is responding to requests for the return of its big and hearty breakfasts, owner Kim Kelly-Frank said in an announcement.
Starting the weekend of Jan. 15, the restaurant will offer breakfast 7 a.m.-2 p.m. Though usually closed Sundays, CrossRoads will serve breakfast-only Sundays.
For more details, follow "Cross Roads" on Facebook, visit the website at www.crossroadssteakhouse.com or call 522-1200.
Walla Walla is recommended as a "must-do" for 2011 by luxury lifestyle magazine "Seattleite."
In its latest edition, the magazine kicks off the new year with its lists of must-haves, must-eats and must-do's. A getaway to Walla Walla for a wine retreat is among them.
"Tired of dealing with body scans and airport security lines? Opt for some easy (vacation) access with these quick getaways," the magazine reads.
Writer John Ferensen specifically recommends a stay at the historic Marcus Whitman Hotel Conference Center, "an ideal spot to use as a central hub before setting out on tasting tours." He also mentions the hotel's in-house restaurant, The Marc, its Vineyard Lounge wine bar and a number of local wineries, including L'Ecole No 41, Woodward Canyon and Three Rivers Winery.

(Coast Salish Territory/Vancouver, July 25, 2007) "Clearly, the ratification of the Tsawwassen Final Agreement is not a victory for the BC Treaty Process.

Baroque Works is an evil organization created by the Shichibukai, Crocodile. Male agents are named after Numbers and female agents are named after certain days.
Created by the powerful Shichibukai Crocodile in his scheme to cause a violent revolution in Alabasta that will pave the way for him to take control of the kingdom amid all of the chaos, Baroque Works provides the cover for Crocodile to carry out his plans under the alias of the mysterious Mr. 0.
Baroque Works was created by Eiichiro Oda for use in the One Piece manga. It was created as part of the Baroque Works Saga that involves Whiskey Peak, Little Garden, Drum Island, and the Kingdom of Alabasta. It first appears in One Piece #62 and in One Piece: Volume 12.
The Baroque Works is comprised of top ranking officers named Officer Agents, numbered from 0 to 5 who can command lower ranking members specifically for them name Billions, and Frontier agents, numbered from 6 to 13 who also have lower ranking members but they are called Millions.The agents are paired as follows:
Mr. 6 - Ms. Mother's Day
Mr. 10 - Ms. Tuesday
Mr. 11 - Ms. Thursday
Mr. 12 - Ms. Saturday
All agents from 5 and above are ability users, and that is the one of the requirement to become Officer Agents.

She attended Augustana College in Illinois on a partial creative writing scholarship, followed by graduate studies in English secondary education at Sierra Nevada College in Lake Tahoe.
After graduating from Sierra Nevada in 1998, Selig landed her first teaching gig in one of the most dangerous, poverty-stricken places in America: Compton, California, where she taught fifth-grade English at McKinley Elementary for two years.
"It was no paradise," Selig says. "But my students and I, we had a good time as much as possible. It felt rewarding to rise above all the lack of materials and supplies, all the poverty and abuse these children faced."
During her first year at McKinley, Selig had 42 students and 30 desks. She had no books, pencils, or paper. "We were rationed 250 photocopies a month," she recalls. "My mom sent me books that my sisters and I read growing up." She and another teacher set up a weekly reading exchange in which fifth- and first-graders would be paired with each other to read books.
"It was probably the most difficult experience I've ever had — until Allapattah," says Selig. "At least at McKinley, my principal was very responsive and open to discussion of problems. She never turned her back on her teachers or resented them for being honest, whereas Costa and his assistant principals didn't help any teachers."
In 2000, she took a two-year hiatus from teaching, living in Chicago and working as a sales associate for a scholastic book company. In 2002, she returned to the classroom when the Broward County School Board hired her as a 10th- and 11th-grade English instructor at Northeast High School in Fort Lauderdale. During the initial three months of her first year at Northeast, Selig shared a classroom with Amy Varo-Hauv, who is now the school's magnet coordinator. "She had a great relationship with the kids she mentored," Varo-Hauv recalls. "If a student was struggling, she would work with them during lunch or after school." She says Selig was not afraid to voice her opinion either. "If she saw something she didn't agree with, she would speak up."
In 2006, Selig went to work for a charter school in Miami-Dade but resigned after 18 months because she didn't get along with the principal. This past November, Miami-Dade County Public Schools hired Selig to replace Dionne Sterling, who quit after a year and a half as one of Allapattah's English teachers. "Sterling couldn't take it anymore," Selig says. Sterling warned her that eighth period was a tough group. "She had refused to teach the class until she had spoken to their parents," says Selig. "Every child in eighth period was out of control."
Sterling, who now teaches at a middle school in Pembroke Pines, declined to comment for this story.
Students in Selig's other classes at Allapattah have also caused trouble. In January, a girl named Susan walked out of class with the bathroom pass and was gone for 40 minutes. Four days later, another student — Diane — called Selig a "damn white lady" before storming out of the room without permission. Selig got little support from Costa. "He tried to make it look like I was crazy," she says. "He even told me to my face that I seemed very angry and that I was not happy at Allapattah."
By the time Selig reported the January 17 incident involving Catharine, the English teacher had worn out her welcome with Costa. But that didn't faze her. In an e-mail to the principal January 28, several hours after he had suggested that she reconsider her position at Allapattah, Selig let him have it: "If you just want to blame me and tell me off, then please don't bother me, and just let me try to teach as best I can and for as long as I can stand it in this less than pleasant situation."
The tension escalated February 12, the day Michelle allegedly threatened to cap her. After reporting the student to the principal's office, Selig sent an e-mail to eight teachers, Costa, and Lewis, complaining about the kids running around the hallways making noise, pounding on doors, and creating constant distractions throughout the day. "Let's stop talking about this FCAT and focus on the real problem here at Allapattah," Selig wrote, "and start talking about the BEHAVIOR and need for more security and support in the hallways."
The following afternoon, Selig fired off another e-mail to the same people plus another 20 folks who work in the main building's second floor, including security staff. She asked for a group meeting to address the unruly behavior in the halls. "Maybe we can contact the Zone and see if they can come up with some money to give us the security we need and deserve," Selig suggested. "If they really want to improve the Zone, let's see if they can back up our needs.... To have this problem ignored or put off until next year is a slap in the face to all of us."
On February 15 at 4:30 p.m., guidance counselor Sonia Alvarez informed Selig that she would be covering her eighth-period class; Costa wanted to see Selig in his office. He also requested that union steward Glover Rogers, who declined to comment on the record, be present at the meeting. "I quickly found out this was not a meeting to discuss any real education or discipline issues," Selig recollects. "It was all about him trying to pin something on me and make me seem as if, as he put it, 'You're not performing to our standards.'"

Olympic Bottle Throwing Accused Denies Charge
A man accused of throwing a bottle on to the track at the start of the men's 100m final at the Olympic Stadium has denied the allegation.
Ashley Gill-Webb, from South Milford, near Leeds, appeared at Stratford Magistrates Court charged with using words or threatening behavious with intent to cause harrassment, alarm or distress under section 4A of the Public Order Act.
The 34-year-old pleaded not guilty to the public order offence.
The case was adjourned for trial at Thames Magistrates Court on September 3.
Gill-Webb was granted bail on condition that he does not enter any Olympic venue, including the whole of the Olympic Park, and that he resides at his address with the exception of the evening before his next court appearance.
Nobody was injured during the incident at the Olympic Stadium in Stratford, east London, on Sunday evening.
The event went ahead and the race won by Jamaica's Usain Bolt.
US sprinter Justin Gatlin, who finished third to win bronze, said afterwards: "It was a little distraction and I didn't know what it was.
"But when you're in those blocks and the whole stadium's quiet you can hear a pin drop."
Bolt told reporters he had been unaware of the incident.
He added: "No, I keep hearing that. I don't know who would have done that."
Bolt retained his title and set a new Olympic record to win the race in 9.63sec, followed by fellow countryman Yohan Blake, who took silver on 9.75sec, with Gatlin coming in third place on 9.79sec.

I was very interested in the Bill. I read it. I could not find anything supporting the charges made by your "source" (some loser blogger who offered no references himself). Did you make the effort to look into evidence to back up your hysterical thread title? Look into the summary of the bill done by the Library of Congress.

Dead Space 1 and 2 too scary? EA research says so
It has been apparent from the footage shown of Dead Space 3 Visceral has shifted some of the gameplay emphasis away from its horror roots.
EA has responded to the concerns of the fans so far and EA Games marketing boss Laura Miele explained that their research suggested that the first two games were just too scary to play alone.
"We were doing research coming out of Dead Space 1 and 2 and we're really proud of those products," Miele said. "We received feedback to understand how we can take the game out to even more consumers. We were hearing feedback that they love the thriller game, but it was pretty scary, and the obvious next step was that they wanted to play with someone. So we introduced co-op into the game."
She continued, "The horror of Dead Space is still all there. It's still true to its roots and no less scary, but people felt far more comfortable playing it with someone else than they did doing it on their own. Personally, I would rather go to scary movie with my husband rather than sit at home with the lights out watching one on my own. We're looking for that to reach out to consumers that perhaps were not open to Dead Space 1 and 2."
Dead Space 3 is due for release on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC in February of 2013.
Thanks MCV.

In my previous post I failed to address the phone/internet issue you raised. I suspect most cruisers will have cell phones. As a (much less expensive) alternative we also have VoIP (voice over internet protocol). Basically, whenever we have an internet connection (eg, WiFi) we simultaneously have phone service via VoIP. It costs about 1 cent/minute to call anywhere in the US and slightly more abroad. You also pay $3-5/month for a dedicated phone number (to receive calls) depending on the area code you select. You are typically not charged for incoming minutes unless you exceed several thousand minutes per month. We use CallWithUs and Future-Nine. Both are very reliable. For further information here are their websites:

Relative to the mail forwarding service, we try to setup a separate address (eg, with a family member) to receive bulky stuff such as magazines and catalogs. The reason for this is you must pay to have mail forwarded and the cost can skyrocket as the weight climbs. This has nothing to do with your domicile, but it is something you may wish to consider.
As an aside, I wonder if the OP has lost interest in this thread since it has drifted pretty far afield from his original question!? Personally, we would like to help since we have previously addressed the very same issues.
Hope this helps.
