Statement on behalf of Bray Wanderers Football Club (The Club)
In October last, Officers past and present of the Club met with officials from the Department of Tourism, Transport and Sport concerning grant-aid to the club under various Sports Capital Programmes.
One of the conditions attaching to grant approvals was that the project might be subject to inspection by representatives of the Department. The Club was selected to form part of the Department's 2014 Capital Inspection Programme.
This inspection duly took place on October 9th last. The Club provided all information requested and cooperated fully with the Department's inquiries.
The Club has heard nothing further since then and is not aware of any issue arising from any sports grants received at any time by the Club. It has never been contacted by An Garda Siochana and is entirely unaware of any Garda investigation.
The Club has been and is always prepared to provide the fullest cooperation with the Department of Tourism, Transport and Sports and An Garda Siochana.
The Club's financial books and records are and have been independently audited each financial year and its affairs are entirely compliant .There have never been any issues raised concerning irregularities in its accounts including for the years 2006, 2007 and 2008.
Regrettably, over the past few weeks the Club has become aware of attempts to prevent the proposed new administration taking place and canvassing the Club to engage in a commercial property development of the Carlisle Grounds. The Club do not accept that this is the way forward.
Bray Wanderers are committed to keeping Premier League football in the town ,to keeping the Carlisle Grounds open for football and prevent it falling into the hands of property developers, and to move forward with the exciting plans for the coming season and beyond with new investors ,local youth and football clubs and the involvement of an enthusiastic community
As is well known the new administration were not involved in the years 2006 to 2008 when there was an entirely different Board of Directors in control. However, we will cooperate with any official enquiry and will continue to try and get the community of Bray focussed on our football and community endeavours.

"A guilty pleasure!!"
As you might guess this is not a deep, multi-layered story that you would discuss in an English literature course. It's light-hearted and fairly predictable. That having been said, if you are even a casual Star Wars fan, you MUST buy this audio book NOW! I don't think I would have enjoyed it half as much in paper form. The music and voice/sound effects add SO much. It's almost a star wars film in audio format. Much has transpired between the last film and where this one starts. But if like me, you've never read a Stars Wars book, you'll be up to speed with what has happened in the universe fairly quickly. It almost seems they are going overboard to make the story user-friendly to the cinema-only crowd. There are plenty of throw-backs to the films that you will wax nostalgic over.
Like a film, you will feel the "cutscene" moments (complete with sound transitions) where it tracks what is happening at different places. My only complaint is that the planet Kessel part of the story is completely uninteresting and adds nothing to the overall story. Fortunately, it's not a huge part of the reading time.
On a side note, the news anchor that sounded like Dana Carvey impersonating Tom Brokaw cracked me up!
"The whole family will be blessed!"
This is written as a children's book and it's wonderful as such. My 5 and 8 year old love it! After listening through the audio several times, I purchased the paper version so that we could read it together in the evenings. And to be honest, I feel I am getting as much out of it as my children! Sally Lloyd-Jones has beautifully crafted every word and clearly lays out how truly every book and every story in the entire Bible points us to the Saviour. God's plan from the beginning of time is brought out in such an easy-to-understand light that while my children are learning from it, my own faith has also been increased.
I whole-heartedly recommend both this audio version and the paper version. Every family ought to own them!
"Great collection of stories, mixed narration"
This is a wonderful collection of inspirational, sometimes humorous stories about nursing. There were many places I laughed out loud and a few spots that brought a lump to my throat. There are several different narrators although they are not all listed here. Some of them are good, others not as much. It's worth the purchase though.
"Powerful insights for fathering!"
There were many notes I made to myself while reading this book. Some parts made me feel good about the things I've done right and other parts convicted me in areas I can improve. But the whole book was presented in loving, non-preachy format that made the convicting parts easy to take. I definitely recommend it, regardless of the age of your children!
Maurice England's narration was okay. He sounds passionate about the material, but his gravely voice and southern accent were a little distracting at times. I do understand why he was chosen and others may feel differently. It's like having someone's grandfather give you parenting advice. It has a nice feel to it but it wore on me a little by the end. Especially the way he say "WHY?" before answering his own question.
"Annoying music, no images"
I knew there were no images with this audio when I purchased it, but I was expecting first rate audio to make up for it. The audience is younger children, right? So captivating audio is a must! The narration is very dry and unimaginative. And the music played between lines sounds like it was produced on a cheap Casio keyboard from the 80's.
"High production quality, questionable content"
I really enjoyed Love Wins and have watched and loved the Rob Bell's Nooma videos. So I was excited to hear something new by him. The concept behind the book was compelling and I really had high expectations. The book did make some interesting points about what intamacy with God should look like, but overall it felt disorganized and in the end it was hard to find a real take away message. The chapters on their own were okay, but they didn't tie into one another like I would have liked.
As always, the production and Rob Bell's narration were flawless. I did feel drawn in, but to what, I had no idea when it was over.
"Making daily Bible reading an attainable goal!"
I have endeavored to read through the entire Bible more times than I care to count; a few times making it as far as Deuteronomy before fizzling out. Breaking the Bible up into digestible chunks with a mixture of old and New Testament and a chapter from Psalms or Proverbs thrown in to keep things fresh is definitely the way to go! This version does that for you! And having it in an audio format makes it easy to stick with.
I have been a fan of The Message Bible since the first time I read the first verse in it. What you do need to be aware of is that this is a paraphrase, not a literal word for word translation. Peterson has taken the entire Bible and translated thought for thought based on his interpretation of the underlying meaning. What this means is that you do need to take it with a grain of salt and be prepared to compare to a literal translation if something doesn't sound right to you. Many traditionalists criticize paraphrasing the Scripture, but do these same traditionalists not do the same thing every time they preach a verse from their literal translation? They read their text, and then proceed to expound upon it and help you know how to interpret it specific to your life. You should take Peterson in that same context. He is expounding upon God's Word and giving you a practical interpretation that you can apply to your life. Is this format infallible? Of course not! But that doesn't mean God is not at work in this. Even the beloved King James Version needs to be viewed in the light of historical context from when it was translated and compared to the original text.
My one complaint is that I wish the individual daily readings were broke out into individual chapters rather than lumping several per chapter. It really makes it hard if you want to review that days' reading again. Finding your place is nearly impossible because when you skip back you won't even know what chapter you're listening to.
"The man behind the mythology we all love!"
This is a fascinating review of Tolkien's background and gives great insight into his character. If you've ever read his writing and wondered what shaped his unique perspective, you'll find it here. I love Kate Reading and she's the perfect choice for this investigative-style performance. But be forewarned: her smooth, soothing tones can cause drowsiness. I don't recommend operating heavy machinery while listening. There's something very NPR-ish about the whole thing.
"A heart wrenching true story"
The book provides eye opening child's view of what life within the foster care system is like. Dave Peltzer is a huge supporter of foster parents and social workers, but that doesn't change what a frightening reality it can be for a child. We've probably all heard comments towards a foster child along the lines of "what they really need is a good spanking" or "why aren't they grateful for the people trying to help them?" This book helps us see the world from the child's perspective.
While the narrator, Brian Keeler, is an adult he does a wonderful job conveying the simple emotions behind the words of the child. You feel David's fears of his mother coming to take him and his joy when shown an act of kindness.
While full of sadness, this book is a wonderful story of hope! Above all, let this book inspire you to get involved! There are over 1500 children in my state alone looking for forever families. If you can't open your home to one, be a support to someone else who does! And show a little compassion for social workers and the daunting tasks they face day after day. It's a thankless job, but I thank God there are those willing to do it!
"Creepy goodness!"
This one takes a turn from the first two and has a very dark, creepy feeling to it--which works! It's a nice change of pace and gives the story new depth. And the haunting music is really outstanding!
I definitely felt the "hungry purple tentacles" runing up my spine!
Once again, Marc Thompson does a tremendous job narrating. This is not a series to miss!
"A nice continuation of the story!"
I don't really understand the criticisms of this story. Some complain that it feels like filler or some incomplete set-up for the next in the series. But really, what do you expect when you get into a 9-part series that was written as one continuing story? You're not going to get all the answers and conclusions in Part 2!!! Others have complained about the narration which really surprises me. Yes, it sounds a little funny when the adult male narrator does a "little girl voice." But what do you expect? That's part of listening to an audio book with one narrator! I say his performance is outstanding!
As for the story itself, this is a nice continuation from part one. The new alien world we are introduced to is very interesting and has a story line you can wrap your teeth around. The evolution of the father/son relationship between Luke and Ben is very well done and touching. I'm stoked to learn more about "Ship" and what its capabilities are. So far it's really spooky in all the right ways. I like how the force is emplained in a new light that makes you think it may be less simple than a "light side" and "dark side." At the same time, it does't trample on what we already know about the force as "canon."
2 books in and I'm loving this series! I've never read a Star Wars novel before and may have had some prejudices again people who have, but I think I'm becoming a convert!

FooLax is the most popular sport never heard of. It combines that ideas of Lacrosse and Football by using a lacrosse sized and marked field with lacrosse goals, but the ball is a football. Teams can range anywher from 5-on-5 to 12-on-12, but the professional level plays 9-on-9 including goalies. The play starts at midfield, with any player with possesion saying hike. There are an unlimited number of passes (forwards or backwards) and if the ball it's the ground it is a live. When a player is tackled the ball changes possesion from spot of tackle. Games can be played either first to certain number of goals, or a timed game. Professional games are 45 minutes long non-stop.
You are NOT an athlete if you don't play FooLax.

A sport which you combine football and lacrosse. It is played with a football in a lacrosse type field. You score points by throwing the football into the other team's goal. The pads are a mix of a football and lacrosse helmet lacrosse shoulder pads and football pants. Any footwear is aloud(must cover whole foot ex: no sandals) and barefoot is aloud but not recommended.
The rules are similiar to lacrosse (ex: penalty in the crease) but there are also many football penalties (ex: facemask).

Why Use a Monitor Arm?
This entry was posted on December 9, 2009
.When purchasing any kind of computer, most people would generally only be concerned about having a monitor and some sort of stand for their monitor. As long as you have the computer, monitor, and stand you should be good to go, right? What people sometimes do not even think to consider is that a monitor arm can be extremely beneficial to add to your new or existing computer setup. Many might speculate how much added advantage there is in purchasing a computer monitor arm which is why we can take a look at some of the benefits to help you decide if it is worth the investment.
Perhaps the most vital reason to have a computer monitor arm is the importance of working in an ergonomic environment. By working in an ergonomic environment every piece of equipment used, whether it be your office chair or in this case the monitor which you use, is tailored to be adjustable to fit the unique individual's body. Monitor arms are specifically designed to easily adjust the height of your computer screen and can be brought closer or farther away from your face to find the optimum reading position. A good rule of thumb to correctly position your monitor is to make sure that the top of the viewable area of your display should be approximately at eye level, or in a position that is comfortable for you and does not cause you to strain your eyes in order to read what is on the screen. Ergonomic experts say that an arms length away is a good indication to a correct viewing distance, but this may vary from user to user. This type of movement and flexibility is impossible to achieve without the use of a monitor arm.
Another added benefit of monitor arms, is that they can be used by virtually anyone with any kind of computer. First and foremost, those with a desktop computer will always need to have purchased a monitor to begin with. But even lap
top users, like myself, can benefit from a monitor arm as well. A few months ago I found myself straining my eyes to read the tiny print on my 13" laptop monitor and knew I needed to find a solution before I compromised my vision. With the purchase of a large monitor and a monitor arm, I could easily attach the monitor through a port in my computer to make viewing text much less strenuous on my eyes. Increasingly workstations are shared between more than one user, especially for jobs that stay open all day with multiple shifts. If you share your station at work with another colleague, with a few simple movements the monitor can be easily adjusted to the height and depth suitable for that individual
Monitor arms are especially advantageous when trying to make room or save space on a desk. Most stands provided by manufacturers consume a lot of room on a desk, whereas an ergonomically designed monitor arm will typically clamp to the back of a desk or be attached directly to a slat-wall leaving the desk space completely clear. An office space or work place will look much less cluttered, more stylish, and more organized with the addition of a computer monitor arm. Some even come in stylish designer colors, such as white and silver, to further enhance the modern design.
In the long run, the monitor arm will not only add style and design to any work space, but it may also reduce work related injuries such as repetitive strain injury and chronic back pain if used ergonomically correct. Monitor arms are also built to withstand the test of time; generally if monitor arms are used 5 days a week for 8 hours a day you can expect it to last at the very least 5 years. While the move to a monitor arm may seem like a risk, the benefits vastly outweigh any disadvantages.

Phoronix: A Quick Tour Of Oracle Solaris 11
Solaris 11 was released on Wednesday as the first major update to the former Sun operating system in seven years. A lot has changed in the Solaris stack in the past seven years, and OpenSolaris has come and gone in that time, but in this article is a brief look through the brand new Oracle Solaris 11 release.
Michael, please, next time use PNG for screenshots.
Not necessarily true. Especially for system screenshots. Example: http://imgur.com/HAU7i,Yl2M5 (jpg-80: 131 KiB, png: 68 KiB).
wondered why they didnt move to gnome-shell
maybe next version unless they going to support matte
Solaris 11 even knows what your files will look like tomorrow. Not that's what I call AI!roll back files to a later date
Facebook know everything youv ever done. Oracle know everything you ever will do. If they merge, it will be the end of the world as we know it
i still want to know what exactly makes solaris a cloud os, what makes it so much better for virtualization, and what it has to offer over linux or free-bsd at this point.
as for everyone fighting over jpg and png - jpg DOES look fine depending on how compressed it is, and jpg is ideal for websites because it is a bit faster than png and it gets the image out there and thats all we need. i don't think the little bit of lossy quality is a big deal when we're looking at an OS screenshot for only a few seconds. personally i don't really care, png is fine with me. but wow some of you are hostile to an unnecessary level.

Royals aiming to continue playoff push vs. M's
Santana opposes Walker with KC seeking fourth straight victory
Kansas City is 4 1/2 games back in the Wild Card race and bidding for its first playoff appearance since 1985. With so much on the line, manager Ned Yost is doing his best to avoid getting caught up in the standings.
"What good does it do me?" Yost asked. "I can pay attention to it all I want and if we don't win a ballgame that night, what difference does it make? So, I stay focused on what we need to do."
The Royals put themselves in position to play meaningful September baseball by posting winning records in four of the first five months. Riding a three-game win streak after winning the first two of this four-game series against the Mariners, right-hander Ervin Santana looks to continue the momentum he has carried since the All-Star break.
Over the season's second half, Santana is 3-2 with a 2.81 ERA in nine starts.
However, he took the loss last Friday after allowing three runs on four hits and two walks in seven innings against the Blue Jays.
Santana will be opposed by rookie right-hander Taijuan Walker, who made a stellar Major League debut last Friday. The 21-year-old allowed just one unearned run in five innings to beat the Astros.
"He did a nice job," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "He was under control out there; you could tell he was kind of feeling his way early on. He was more and more comfortable as the game wore on and let the ball go a few times."
Much of the Royals' success in this series has come with the Mariners' inability to take advantage of scoring opportunities. Through the first two games, the Mariners are 1-for-19 with runners in scoring position and have stranded 17 men on base. Over its last four games, Seattle is 1-for-28 with runners in scoring position.
Mariners: Six-man rotation means more rest
Felix Hernandez and Hisashi Iwakuma are on pace to pitch over 200 innings. But the deep-pitching duo of 2013 All-Stars will get a little more rest down the stretch as the starting rotation increases to six.
The move -- in addition to giving the aces a break -- will allow the Mariners to get more of a look at their two recent callups, rookies Walker and James Paxton.
Paxton will make his first big league appearance on Saturday against the Rays.
• Hernandez was lifted after 105 pitches in Monday's 3-1 loss to the Royals for precautionary reasons due to a cramp in his lower back.
Still, the 2010 Cy Young Award winner is set to make his next start on Sunday.
"Felix is a little bit sore, a little bit stiff today," Wedge said before Tuesday's game. "We'll see how he feels the next couple of days and go from there."
Royals: Getz leaves Tuesday's game
Royals second baseman Chris Getz left Tuesday night's game after the second inning due to dizziness and an upset stomach. Manager Ned Yost said that tests indicated it was a possible concussion.
"He felt fine before the game," Yost said.
After making a sliding stop of a ground ball hit by Mike Zunino, Getz skipped a routine throw past first baseman Billy Butler for an error.
"That play, where he had to range way over to his left, he caught the ball and when he turned to throw, he threw off-balance and then he fell and kind of snapped his head and got real dizzy from that point on. We don't really know what it was," Yost said.
Emilio Bonifacio replaced Getz at second.
Worth noting
• Walker is just the third Mariners starter to not allow an earned run in a Major League debut.
• Shortstop Alcides Escobar has converted all of his 18 stolen base attempts for the Royals this season and owns the franchise record for consecutive steals.
• The Mariners went 7-1 against the Royals a year ago, but are 0-2 this season.
• Seattle has 97 solo homers this season, tied for second most in the Major Leagues.

I have a great admiration for the thinking of Sir Ken Robinson... He speaks so eloquently and argues for creative learning...and so much more... A stand out quote for me from this interview; "What tends to dull the appetite [for learning] is being force fed things that people can't see an immediately relevance in or don't have an immediate interest in it...or where they are forced to learn in situations where they are inimitable... you know, 8 hours a day, sit still, do as you're told." Bring on different ways of engaging with people around learning so that they not only 'get it' but they really enjoy it and become life long learners. I recommend this 15 minute video to you!

Lee looks to stop Cahill and rolling D-backs
Phillies hope offense can come back to life in Arizona
Charlie Manuel is challenging all Phillies batters.
"We've scored [129] runs in 36 games, we're hitting .248. For me, that means inconsistent," Manuel said prior to Philadelphia's 3-2 loss on Friday. "That's the first thing you can look at. You can cut it any way you want to, but that's not good enough. If we stay like we are, that's how we're going to play. We have to start hitting better. We need to improve."
On Friday, the Phillies mustered just two runs on seven hits, wasting a strong effort from starter Tyler Cloyd in the team's third straight loss.
Manuel would prefer his team play like it did last Monday, when the Phillies offense backed starter Cliff Lee with six runs and the southpaw returned the favor with a stellar showing on the mound.
"We definitely haven't been playing up to our potential. We've been really far short of that, to be honest with you," Lee said after his last outing. "I think [this win] is more of a real depiction of what we are. Yeah, I expect us to pick it up a little bit. We've kind of underperformed this first month, and it's time for us to turn it on."
Lee will take the hill again on Saturday, when he faces the D-backs at Chase Field. Manuel is concerned that his starters are feeling squeezed by the lack of run support.
"I think, after a while, it can bother you some," Manuel said. "You pitch a good game and then you don't score, it's hard."
Trevor Cahill certainly knows how that feels. The D-backs right-hander will toe the rubber on Saturday hoping to extend the team's win streak to six games. Arizona scored only 11 runs total in Cahill's first six outings of the season. A nine-run outburst by the offense his last time out was a much-needed change of pace.
Cahill is 2-0 with a 1.80 ERA over his last three starts. He held the Dodgers to two runs in seven innings on Monday.
"I was able to make pitches when I had to," Cahill said.
Phillies: Lee looking for consecutive wins
• Lee limited the Giants to two runs in eight innings on Monday as the lefty earned his first win since April 9. He is averaging about seven innings per start, and has logged at least eight frames in three of his seven outings.
• Roy Halladay spoke with reporters on Friday and apologized to the fans of Philadelphia for his performance over the last two seasons. Halladay is slated for shoulder surgery on May 15 that will take care of a bone spur, frayed labrum and torn rotator cuff.
D-backs: Gibson comments on criticized umpires
• D-backs manager Kirk Gibson offered a different perspective on the recent controversy over questionable calls made this week.
"You can't get too bogged down in the criticism and the magnification and the people who are all weighing in on it," Gibson said. "It's pretty easy to weigh in on it. Everybody is writing on the Internet and they're tweeting about it and they're ripping these people apart, it's just the society we live in. I don't like it."
Worth noting
• Phillies shortstop Jimmy Rollins notched the 44th career leadoff home run on Friday.

Aarskog syndrome is a rare genetic disorder. It causes short stature and specific facial, limb, and genital features.
Aarskog syndrome is an inherited disorder. It is caused by a gene mutation in the faciogenital dysplasia 1 gene (FDG1) on the X chromosome. It is passed from mothers to male children. Female children can be affected by a milder form of the disease.
Those at risk of inheriting Aarskog syndrome are male children of mothers who carry the gene for it.
The main symptoms of Aarskog syndrome are:

Other symptoms may include:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. The diagnosis of Aarskog syndrome is usually based on facial characteristics. It can be confirmed with genetic tests. X-rays of the face and skull can also be used to help make a diagnosis.
There is no known cure for Aarskog syndrome. Treatment is limited to surgical procedures to treat conditions caused by the disorder and supportive treatment. Orthodontic treatment is often needed.
Treatment may include:
Conditions that may be treated with surgery include:
In some cases, orthodontic treatment may help certain facial and dental abnormalities.
Supportive treatment generally includes educational assistance to address learning difficulties. Parents often need advice and support.
There is no known way to prevent Aarskog syndrome. If you have Aarskog syndrome or have a family history of the disorder, you can talk with a genetic counselor when deciding to have children.
Researchers have located abnormalities in the FGD1 gene in people with this syndrome. Genetic testing for mutations in this gene is available.

Roark hopes to avoid rust in finale vs. Phils
Nationals right-hander to face Kendrick in first start since July 4
Nationals starter Tanner Roark has not pitched since July 4 because of two rainouts during the team's series against the Orioles.
To stay prepared for his next scheduled start -- against the Phillies on Sunday -- Roark pitched out of the bullpen for a few games.
In his latest big league outing, against the Cubs, Roark went seven innings but allowed four runs on nine hits in a 7-2 loss. Chicago scored its first run in the first inning, and the Cubs did not look back.
"[An] extra day's rest and [Roark] was a little bit up, not quite as crisp," manager Matt Williams said. "They got a lot of base hits on him. He kept it to four [runs], just kind of up and middle today. Breaking ball wasn't quite as good. Changeup wasn't quite as good."
Roark is not alone in his struggles. His opponent on the mound on Sunday, Kyle Kendrick, won his previous start -- but that does not necessarily mean he pitched well.
Kendrick gave up seven runs in 5 2/3 innings against the Brewers at Miller Park on Tuesday. He allowed 11 hits and gave up three home runs, but his offense had his back, scoring nine against Brewers starter Wily Peralta.
The Phillies are on the rise, though. They have won five of their past six, so Roark will have to be on his game if he wants to collect his first win since June 22.
"I have to execute the pitches that I want and shake off whenever I want," Roark said. "Not just throw whatever the catcher is putting down. That has been the biggest thing for me."
Phillies: Club trying to make midseason run
Although the Phillies have been at the bottom of the National League East standings for much of the past month, they are looking to make a quick turnaround in July.
The Phillies are 6-6 in the month and won five straight before Saturday's 5-3 loss to the first-place Nationals. During that streak, they have moved from 12 games out of first place on July 6 to nine out after Saturday's loss.
"The guys have shown some resilience of battling back," manager Ryne Sandberg said. "We've had some of our better series against some of the better teams. So it's a little ironic. We've matched up against some of the better teams in certain series. But they've also, at this point, been resilient as far as bouncing back after a miserable first part of a road trip and come back and end the trip on a good note."
The biggest improvement in the Phillies' recent string of wins has been a productive lineup. The Phillies scored nine runs in two of the five wins, with six runs in another.
"It's been the whole lineup with getting guys on base and then different players in different spots coming up with the big hit, driving the ball, scoring more than one run in an inning," Sandberg said.
"It's been different guys up and down the lineup, so that's all positive. I also really see the guys battling in at-bats, lengthening at-bats and often times, turning the count around, and through that, getting a pitch that they can handle later on in the at-bat. … The guys have also done the little. things. Moving a runner up a base, getting them in from third base."
Nationals: Desmond looks to keep hot streak going
Shortstop Ian Desmond is off to a good start to July, hitting .314 (11-for-35) since the month began. If history is an indicator, that will continue through Sunday's game.
Desmond has faced Kendrick more than all but two pitchers he has faced, and he is hitting .405 (15-for-37) off the Phillies' Sunday starter -- his second-best average against pitchers against whom he has 20 or more at-bats.
Desmond went 2-for-5 in the Nationals' win on Saturday night and is hitting .243 with a .725 on-base-plus-slugging percentage.
Worth noting
• The Nationals' 10-inning win on Saturday was only their third extra-inning win this season. They are now 3-8 in extra-inning games.

I agree with everyone who is happy for Dai. I still cannot believe he's in the lead. I have doubts of him winning. The other top contenders just had all obvious mistakes today. Feel kind of bad for Machida and I hope Kozuka can show them all tomorrow, he was better than his score, and just 4th.... :( Cannot watch tomorrow as I am at NRW Trophy, but I wish all men the best.
You're at NRW Trophy tomorrow? Is that the one YuNa is skating at? Oh, I hope you have wonderful things to report.
Please take detailed notes so you can tell us everything.
MEN'S SHORT PROGRAM - VIDEOS & RESULT (Updated)

2. Patrick CHAN (CAN) - 89.27 Short Program, 2nd Copy, 3rd Copy

4. Takahiko KOZUKA (JPN) - 86.39 Short Program, 2nd Copy
5. Javier FERNANDEZ (ESP) - 80.19 Short Program, 2nd Copy
6. Tatsuki MACHIDA (JPN) - 70.58 Short Program, 2nd Copy
Thankyou for the videos. Quite a few smaller mistakes except for Dai but really enjoyed their performances. That is about the best quad toe i remember Dai doing and Patrick's quad toe was about the biggest i remember him doing, and his 3 axel was wonderful. Hope they all skate well in the free. Love Patrick, Dai, and Yuzuru for all different reasons.
When Patrick gets his act together, this program will be impossible to beat. His mistake of the Lutz caused the rest of the program to kind of peter out -- the last spin was kind of off and he finished behind the music. I really like those little soft leaps up into the air. It looks like he is hanging in midair, or floating on a cloud.
^ What a surprise! Does it even matter what kind of program Chan has? If he is clean, he's impossible to beat.
Mathman specifically said 'this programme' so it's obvious he's only talking about this programme of Patrick's.
And I'm saying that statement "When Patrick gets his act together, this program will be impossible to beat" is a truism.
Yeah I think he is. I personally don't like it when skaters recycle programs though, even if the program is a good one. He'll have performed this at least 6 times by season's end, and he doesn't actually have much to build on by skating it 6 more times - its mostly just the technical stuff, which happens in any program. By that time I'm ready for something fresh, and someone like Patrick really shouldn't be playing it safe by keeping a program. With his skills he's got a lot to offer, he just needs to challenge himself. It just seems like a real waste that we only get to see new programs from him every two seasons.

I think OpenSolaris will disappear very soon, indipendently if it's a good or bad OS.
Phoronix: Will OpenSolaris 2010 Make It Out This Month?
Not only is the future for X12 unknown, but there is also an uncertain outlook for OpenSolaris. The successor to OpenSolaris 2009.06 (released last June) was supposed to be OpenSolaris 2010.02 and released in February of this year as implied by its date. However, four months later, there still are no signs of this OpenSolaris update. Sun Microsystems originally planned for the OpenSolaris operating system to be updated every six months, but now we are a year into OpenSolaris 2009.06 and this is clearly no longer the interest of Oracle, Sun's new owner...
I think OpenSolaris will disappear very soon, indipendently if it's a good or bad OS.
Well, there are a few signs that a new stable release of OpenSolaris will come out, such as here:
I still have my hopes, but for now I'm fine with build 134.
The major problem here, that I see, is that Oracle is a corporate entity and already has a lot of time and money invested in Linux - they distribute their own Linux operating system.
So why would they want to keep another open source project? I can think of lots of reasons why I would want them to, but I can't think of many reasons why Oracle would.
Would it make sense to keep it going for open development of Solaris? Is there any worth to them in keeping such a development model? Do they predict having enough customers to make it feasible?
Only time will tell, but I am definitely not surprised that there's little activity at present. There are a lot of decisions & projections to be made!
FWIW, the rumour mill amongst ex-Sun partner community (at least those I talk with) is that:
- Oracle will come out with a slew of product announcements in the new financial year, including revised Solaris/OpenSolaris roadmaps. Until then they will be maintaining their very typical complete silence.
- OpenSolaris and Solaris will be "unified" somewhat as Solaris 11. There will be no new OpenSolaris until this happens, which may still be quite soon.
Take it with a grain of salt: it's a composite of several possibly informed guesses from maybe reliable sources.
I wouldn't take the silence from Oracle as a sign they have abondoned it however -- they are notorious for being very tight lipped about future plans. Of course, they'd be just as silent about killing the project until they were ready to announce it, but their silence to me does not speak for one or the other.
I'm inclined to believe you, as your suggestions sound plausible, with or without your sources. The idea that Solaris/OpenSolaris will be unified makes a lot of sense - we can only hope that the open-source part is maintained, for the sake of a lot of projects based upon it. (Nexenta is one that springs to mind.)
The only point that I would raise is - we're already in the 'new' financial year. Or did you mean next April?
Forking OpenSolaris is really a bad idea, and i'll tell you why. OpenSolaris community can be strong when it is single. If we start distributing and forking it, there will be less developers who are involved working on the core but more packagers of their own distributions. Linux has faced that problem already, and I wouldn't like OpenSolaris to follow it that way.
OpenSolaris 2010 will come out soon. Be patient don't worry.
I don't think the community is as strong as before during the good old days at Sun Microsystems. Today at Oracle is actually quite different. The OpenSolaris community was created to support the OpenSolaris project. OpenSolaris is not totally free. Most of its parts remains closed. The community is only as strong as how Oracle today will allow them to be. Forking will create a new community around the OpenSolaris fork without the bounds of an imposing corporate entity such as Oracle. Forking does increase the chances of having different distributions and reduces the number of core developers. The latter clause actually is not that different today at Oracle. I doubt if Oracle retained the previous number of core developers for OpenSolaris.
Let's follow FreeBSD more closer than Linux. I believe there will be couple of distributions but if that grows more, then its a freedom we must accept. What is important is to make sure that OpenSolaris does not sink into another Unix death we know in the past. We can rewrite all the OpenSolaris parts and have it under a real open-source license.
It's either pseudo freedom or real freedom. If we decide to stay under Oracle then its either we will have to pay for OpenSolaris or expect a more featureless OpenSolaris. I intend to go for the real freedom. Let us fork OpenSolaris. If in case there wasn't a fork or such fork wasn't that successful then I will be happy to stay with FreeBSD instead.
Big guns don't stay in Oracle, so is the open-source freedom.
