Taipan September 02, 2012 7:53 PM Talking of being cocky Polo, now that Button is only 16 points behind Lulu this season and has scored more points than Lulu during their time as team mates, do the fanboys still think McLaren should be enforcing team orders to help Lulu?

Pole Position - Unregistered September 03, 2012 1:19 AM @ Taipan It's only one race. Before this race people were talking about Button in not too friendly terms. Formula 1 is like a soap opera. I'm sure u know how quickly things change in F1. On the subject of team orders. I don't believe in them. In fact I wrote a comment on here that Hamilton shouldn't want or need any help. Any good driver should be able to win races on his own merit. 3 agree 1 disagree
Randy - Unregistered September 03, 2012 2:10 AM Team orders is not a good thing, but after Ferrari are working only for Alonso, Redbull for Vettel, I don't think Button will win the title without Hamiltons help. So team must be working more on Buttons car, and Lewis must be fighting for podiums to steal points from competitors! 6 agree 1 disagree
Pole Position - Unregistered September 03, 2012 3:35 AM @ Randy what are u talking? Hamilton is still ahead of Button. If there was any team orders it would be for Button to support Hamilton. 2 agree 1 disagree
entwined - Unregistered September 03, 2012 4:49 AM Are you kidding? There was a big time carnage behind you and that was one of the biggest crashes in years. This is the best race of the season so far in terms of track action and drama...Glad drivers involved are OK. Shame for Alonso and Hamilton though. And of course the Saubers. Grosjean, I don't know what's with you man. Don't ever ever do that again! Totally deserved a race ban... 2 agree 2 disagree

Jordan Crawford: 'I was trying to make sure I made my first shot' | 04.22.13 at 3:18 pm ET |
NEW YORK — On the same day he received a first-place vote for the NBA "Sixth Man" award (awarded to New York's J.R. Smith), Jordan Crawford was insistent on one thing Monday, he wanted his first shot in a playoff game to go in.
"I was trying to make sure I made my first shot," Crawford repeated several times when asked why, for the first time in his career, he didn't even attempt a shot when playing at least 10 minutes in a game. That's exactly what happened during Saturday's Game 1 loss to the Knicks.
The irony was not lost on coach Doc Rivers, who put Crawford in for his explosive scoring ability. Rivers actually wants to play Crawford more in Game 2 and that means Crawford needs to get over his pursuit for perfection and worry about putting up big numbers for a bench that didn't register a single field goal in Game 1 and was outscored, 33-4.
"I thought Jordan should have played more in the second half," Rivers said. "It's funny, he didn't score, but he created baskets. He created that [Jeff Green] three at the end of the [first quarter] because he has the ability to do that. And, I'll tell you, he's buying in defensively and if he can continue to do that, then he has a chance to help us."
Crawford was acquired from the Wizards at the NBA trade deadline in February, with the hope that he could provide some instant offense to a team that had just lost Rajon Rondo and was watching as Jason Terry went through a prolonged slump.
"Play my game, the game I continue to play that got me here that Doc Rivers wants me to play," Crawford said. "So I'm just trying to help them win any way…Just be precise, don't second guess nothing, be precise. Whatever you think to do, do it quick. If you make a mistake, do it hard."
As for his other big first – an NBA playoff game – Crawford said he didn't feel overwhelmed or overmatched.
"I really wanted to see if it was any different, if the intensity picked up or anything. But it's pretty much the same, games just matter more," he said.
Rivers made a point of saying how much he appreciated Crawford's self control in his NBA playoff debut.
"I thought he was good. He stayed in his lane, let's put it that way," Rivers said. "He didn't go outside of it. And usually guys in their first game, young guys do one or the other. They don't do anything, and I thought he did far better than that. Or they try to do too much. I thought he was pretty much under control, emotionally."
Maybe, as it turned out, too much.
J.R. Smith wins NBA 'Sixth Man' award, Jordan Crawford gets a first-place vote, finishes seventh | at 2:31 pm ET |
NEW YORK — The Celtics got an up-close and personal look at just how dangerous J.R. Smith can be off the New York bench on March 26.
He scored 32 points and powered the Knicks to a 100-85 win, a victory that was part of New York's 13-game winning streak at the end of the season that propelled them toward the Atlantic Division title.
On Monday, Smith was honored as the 2012-13 Kia NBA Sixth Man Award as the league's best player in a reserve role. Smith, who came off the bench in all 80 games in which he appeared, led all reserves in scoring, averaging 18.1 points. Additionally, Smith added 5.3 rebounds per game, 2.7 assits and 1.3 steals in 33.5 minutes per game to a Knicks squad that went 54-28 and earned the No. 2 seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Smith received 484 of a possible 1,084 points, including 72 first-place votes, from a panel of 121 sportswriters and broadcasters throughout the United States and Canada. Jamal Crawford of the Los Angeles Clippers finished second with 352 points (31 first-place votes). Jarrett Jack of the Golden State Warriors finished third with 170 points (14 first-place votes).
Boston's Jordan Crawford received a first-place vote and finished seventh.
In order to be eligible for this award, players had to have come off the bench in more games than they started. Players were awarded five points for each first-place vote, three points for each second-place vote and one point for each third-place vote.
Smith, who led reserves in 30-point (seven) and 20-point games (29), became the first player with four 30-point games off bench in same month (March) since Ricky Pierce had four in November of 1990. He earned Player of the Week honors for games played March 25-31, leading the Knicks to a 4-0 record with averages of 29.8 points (second in the league), 7.0 rebounds and 1.5 steals. In Smith's 80 games, the Knicks enjoyed a +5.3 score differential with him on the court compared with +1.9 when he was on the bench. Read the rest of this entry »
Monday notes: Doc Rivers says Brandon Bass played 'the perfect game' while the bench, not so much | at 2:17 pm ET |
NEW YORK — So what did the Celtics film session reveal on Sunday?
To Doc Rivers, it showed that Brandon Bass "played the perfect game" in the Game 1 loss. It showed that Jordan Crawford did a lot of positive things in his first career postseason game.
"I thought Brandon played the perfect game for us," Rivers said. "I thought defensively, he guarded Melo [Carmelo Anthony] well. He took shots when he should have. He moved the ball because they were coming [on traps]."
And it showed that the team's energy and effort was there.
It also showed one huge area of need – getting Kevin Garnett more involved in the right spots on the court so that the offense doesn't go into hibernation like it did for the final 13 minutes on Saturday.
"It was good, it was good," Rivers said. "The film never lies. It didn't. I thought our guys were great. They saw what we could've done and didn't do. I'm sure New York saw the same things. So, I expect them to have a great game [Tuesday] and I expect us to play better as well."
After hitting his first two shots from the field, Garnett made just two of his final 10 shots and finished 4-of-12 with eight points.
"He could've gotten himself in better spots and that's again on us, too," Rivers said. "It's never one thing, it's both. We have to create them for him. Kevin can't dribble or pass to himself. We have to create that for him but listen, they're still very good defensively. They trap and get down there [on block]. Even if you get him deep, they're still coming."
Did film help Garnett himself?
"Yeah, actually it did," Garnett said. "It was nice session. Obviously, we put some things in, dropped some things. We'll go over that in practice."
The mood of the team was good, led by its always-smiling head coach, who as Garnett was talking to Rivers, asked Rajon Rondo if he were going to take part in practice. Rondo – wearing a pair of stylish green beats – was doing what he has been doing for the last two weeks, shooting around with his team and taking in practice and offering insights as he rehabs his reconstructed right ACL.
Now, Rivers is trying to regroup his troops and remind them that there was a lot to be happy about in the first three quarters of Saturday's loss to the Knicks.
One thing he made clear on Monday was that the energy Saturday was good, just not the execution.
"I'm always pleased with that," Rivers said. "We played hard, and so did they. We have to play better. It's like I told our guys, hard is great but hard and smart is more important."
The perfect example of that was in the third quarter when Lee saved a ball with a behind-the-back pass. But he saved it under the basket the Celtics were defending and into the hands of the Knicks, who easily converted the layup.
"We made a lot of hard plays, even Courtney saves the ball inbounds, he was hustling so you give him an 'A' for effort and then the rest of the part is where you have to be smarter as a group. I thought we did a lot of that in the game [on Saturday]." Read the rest of this entry »
Sunday notes: Celtics need a way to feed Kevin Garnett, get more out of Jason Terry, bench | 04.21.13 at 2:08 pm ET |
NEW YORK — The Celtics didn't practice Sunday. Instead, they hunkered down in a suite inside the Four Seasons Hotel in midtown Manhattan to go over the ugly details of their 85-78 loss to the Knicks in Game 1 Saturday afternoon.
Specifically, what happened in the final 13 minutes, 40 seconds when they scored exactly eight points.
Part of the issue, admitted coach Doc Rivers, was not efficiently feeding Kevin Garnett, and forcing it to him when he wasn't open, leading to the avalanche of turnovers that led to their demise.
'I thought, from an offensive standpoint, I didn't have a lot of different opportunities," Garnett said. "Obviously, I had shots and stuff. Some went down, some didn't. But I try not to let that predicate things or my level of play. I thought I moved the ball very well, got other guys open, was able to rebound obviously, trying to be as much of a force as I can on defense. In Game 2, I'd like to be a little more aggressive, obviously, but being consistent with the overall game.'
For the first time in his career, Jason Terry was held scoreless in a playoff game. But Terry was far from alone on an unproductive Boston bench. To Rivers, it was a case of something he likes to call "hero-ball" – where the ball stagnates and teammates watch as one player tries to generate something all by himself.
'We didn't do a good job with Terry [Saturday], especially in the second half, there were so many [isolations] that Jason has nothing to do with," Rivers said. "In the first half, Jason didn't score, but we ran that play with the pick-and-roll with him and Paul. We scored five times in a row because of Jason Terry's involvement, so I don't actually look at if he scored. I look at the points he created, and in the first half he created 12 points. In the second half, it was all ISOs. I mean, it's not us. We're not built that way.'
Courtney Lee provided the only four points (all on free throws) as Boston's reserves were outscored by New York's bench, 33-4. Boston didn't get a single field goal from their bench in the entire game.
'I'm looking for a better overall effort, whether it's the bench, whether it's the starters,' Paul Pierce said. 'The starters, you look, me and Jeff [Green] had 12 turnovers ' just us two. We have to be better, regardless of our bench. Overall as a team, we have to be better.'
Rivers acknowledged that he might look to shake up a bench rotation was limited solely to Terry, Jordan Crawford and Lee. Rivers said he would consider adding a big man to the rotation, either Shav Randolph or Chris Wilcox. Crawford played just 10 minutes, 46 seconds, including just over three minutes in the second half.
"I thought Jordan should have played more in the second half," Rivers said. "It's funny, he didn't score, but he created baskets. And, I'll tell you, he's buying in defensively and if he can continue to do that, then he has a chance to help us."
Speaking of the Four Seasons Hotel, that's also where Rivers' old friend Tom Thibodeau and Chicago Bulls are spending their weekend in the Big Apple. Their Saturday was even worse in Brooklyn as they were down by 25 at halftime and lost Game 1 at Barclays Center. They will play Game 2 Monday night in Brooklyn.
'It's not a good hotel today,' Rivers said in dark humor. 'Two losing teams, I think one should leave. This was a quiet, dark hotel last night. The New York area teams didn't treat the guests very well."
While Rivers expects the Celtics to execute better in Game 2 Tuesday night, he expects the same of the Knicks, who shot just 40.5 percent and had two starters (Tyson Chandler and Chris Copeland) who went scoreless. J.R. Smith, who torched the Celtics for 32 in late March at TD Garden, made just 7-of-19 shots and finished with 15.
'They're going to play better, too,' Rivers said. 'J.R. Smith missed a couple open 3s. [Steve] Novak didn't get involved. So we have to anticipate them playing way better, and then we have to play way better. And that's what, in the playoffs, you just have to anticipate that.'
The Celtics didn't practice Sunday but will on Monday at Madison Square Garden in advance of Game 2.
Jeff Green: 'We just got tired, I guess' | 04.20.13 at 8:29 pm ET |
NEW YORK — The numbers were so obviously bad no one could avoid them afterward.
Add them all up and you get Knicks 85, Celtics 78 in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series at Madison Square Garden.
What did the Celtics have to say for themselves afterward?
"We turned the ball over a ton and I thought our spacing was horrendous in the second half," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. " I thought each guy held the ball and tried to make their own play and I talked about that before the game. That's not who we are. We can't be that way, and we tried to play that way in the second half. I really couldn't get them out of it, either, so that was disappointing.
"We had bad turnovers. If we had those turnovers in any game, you probably should lose the game, and we did."
Pierce: "Some [turnovers] were forced, some were just bonehead plays. We have got to have better execution. Everyone has to know where they've got to be on the floor. Everyone has to get to their spots, understand when we get to the fourth quarter, everyone has to be on the same page. Games are too big at this point for us to be at that point, especially in the playoffs down the stretch."
Green: "We just got tired, I guess. We just have to figure out a way to close out quarters and close out the game. We were in a great position to take over the game, to win the game. Turnovers killed us."
NEW YORK — New York Knicks star Carmelo Anthony, who scored 36 points in New York's 85-78 Game 1 win over the Boston Celtics Saturday at Madison Square Garden, says it was wrong of some New York fans to boo Paul Pierce before the game as both Anthony and Pierce addressed the crowd to pay tribute to the City of Boston, which was attacked this past week and held hostage on Friday.
Anthony spoke to the crowd just moments before the national anthem and stood at mid-court, just a short distance away from the color guard, which was presented by the Boston Fire Department. He received a big ovation for his tribute to the people of Boston, saying, "our prayers are with the City of Boston."
But then, as Pierce was introduced, some in the crowd booed the Celtics captain before other New York fans quieted them down with their own cheers.
"I don't think that was the right thing to do, boo somebody like that," Anthony said after the game. "At the end of the day, we all know what happened in Boston. Our prayers go out to the families and the City of Boston. In a situation like today, we all want … it's all about the U.S. It's our country. And it's sad we have to go through unfortunate tragedies like that. Whoever booed him shouldn't have booed him, not in a situation like that."
Turnover tale: Celtics drop Game 1 to Knicks | at 5:32 pm ET |
NEW YORK — Carmelo Anthony was just too much.
Anthony scored a game-high 36 points while J.R. Smith added 15 as the Knicks beat the Celtics, 85-78, Saturday afternoon at Madison Square Garden in Game 1 of their best-of-seven series.
Jeff Green started out hot but scored just six points in the second half and finished with 26 while Paul Pierce added 20 for the Celtics, who committed 21 turnovers in falling down 1-0 in the series.
The Celtics scored just 25 points in the second half, including just eight in the fourth quarter. They had three more turnovers (10) in the second half than field goals (7).
After the Celtics scored the first four points of the game, the Knicks went on a 12-2 run as Anthony started off on fire. He hit a pair of threes and was a perfect 4-for-4 from the field, scoring 10 points in the opening four minutes of the game. But the Celtics responded and quieted the crowd for the rest of the quarter, taking a 29-26 lead after one as Green drilled a three at the buzzer.
The Celtics turned up the defensive pressure on Anthony and the Knicks in the second quarter as Anthony missed nine of his next 11 shots from the floor. Coach Doc Rivers, meanwhile, took Green off Anthony defensively, allowing him to get into an offensive rhythm. The result was immediately felt. He scored 12 of his 20 first-half points in the second quarter as the Celtics took a 53-49 halftime lead. Green was on fire in the first half, going 7-of-10 from the field. Avery Bradley (11) and Paul Pierce (10, six assists) were the only other in double figures in the first 24 minutes.
The Knicks scored the first five points of the third quarter to regain the lead but the Celtics used an 11-1 run late in the third quarter to built their biggest lead, 70-63, capped off when Pierce hit a long pull-up three.
Kevin Garnett's turnaround over Kenyon Martin with just over eight minutes left tied the game, 72-72. Anthony responded on the next possession to give the Knicks the lead again.
Anthony hit a jumper over Green to put the Knicks up four, 76-72, before Pierce responded with a tough jumper with 6:03 left. But then, in a pivotal moment of the game, J.R. Smith drove to the basket and converted a layup with 5:44 left and drew the fifth foul on Kevin Garnett.
Pierce hit a jumper with 4:34 to close Boston within three, 79-76. But on consecutive possessions the Knicks missed open looks at threes and the Celtics were unable to execute offensively. Anthony's layup with 2:31 left put New York up, 81-76.
Smith had a key steal of an Bradley pass to Pierce with just under four minutes left but Raymond Felton missed a wide-open three. Pierce missed a three that would have tied the game with just over three minutes left. Anthony hit a long two-point jumper over Green with 1:21 left to give the Knicks an 83-76 lead.
Game 2 is Tuesday night back at Madison Square Garden at 8 p.m. before the series shifts back to Boston next Friday. For complete coverage from Madison Square Garden, visit the Celtics team page at weei.com/celtics.

New Stirrings in Asia
Alan D. Romberg, Senior Fellow for Asia at the Council on Foreign Relations, recently left the State Department, where much of his work centered around East Asia. He was Deputy Spokesman at the Department from 1981 to 1985.
See more by this authorOver two decades, Americans have come to expect dynamic economic growth and relative political stability in East Asia. Until recently, China was the perennial exception, and the Soviets had no regional role to speak of. Today, these judgments are being reexamined. The region is not necessarily in trouble, but it is in ferment, and the future is less sure—for itself and for American interests—than it seemed even a short while ago. Furthermore, the economic and political stirrings are not of a short-term nature; they involve generational and systemic transitions within the region and shifting roles for external actors, including the United States and, now, the Soviet Union.
The year's most dramatic development in Asia was the introduction of truly revolutionary social and economic reforms in China. The ultimate success of this undertaking by Deng Xiaoping is of historic significance and will have a major impact on the rest of Asia and on the United States. But while Deng scored some major victories in 1985, these were not unambiguous, and future challenges seem sure to arise.
Of more immediate concern to most countries in the region was the general downturn in their own economic performance. With few exceptions, annual real growth of seven to eight percent over the past two decades had led observers to tout East Asia as a region of "economic miracles" and a model for others. This past year, as growth dropped to five percent or lower, the question arose whether this was not far more than a cyclical downturn—whether, indeed, a new era had not dawned, one of considerably slower growth with potentially significant social and political consequences.

September 11th - A Time For Reflection
Mike Tomkins
(Wednesday, September 11, 2002 - 00:00 EDT)
As readers are surely aware, today marks the first anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the United States that took place on September 11th, 2001. Along with many of you, we would like to take a moment to reflect on the events of that tragic day. We have all learned a lot about ourselves over the last year, and about how communities can draw together to overcome challenges that at first seem insurmountable.
Last September, we joined along with charitable organizations, other members of the media and many more in asking our readers to donate their time, energy and money to helping the relief efforts. Around the world people did just this, on a scale for which we can think of few precedents. Perhaps most important of all, we have proven in the last 12 months that whilst terrorists strive to harm us, they only make us - and our resolve to protect our basic freedoms - even stronger.
We would like to thank every one of our readers for the gestures and contributions you have all made, big and small, that have helped carry the world through the events of September 11th. We'd also like to remember those lost, and those who lost someone close to them.
Wherever in the world you are, we would like to ask of you to please take a moment today to reflect and remember in your own way. Most importantly, from all of us at the Imaging Resource to all of you, however you should choose to commemorate this important occasion, be safe and be strong on this day of remembrance.

1. Privacy
You acknowledge and agree to be bound by the terms of our privacy policy
By placing an order for the Services, you consent to us sending to you our regular newsletter. This newsletter is our primary method of communicating with you and will inform you of changes to our web site, notify you of planned outages and updates, and keep you informed about our services generally.
2. Information about us
is a site operated by Team Valley Printers ltd ("we", "us" and "our"). We are registered in England and Wales under company number 7055099 and have our registered office and trading address at Unit 321h, Mayoral Way, Team Valley Trading Estate, Gateshead, NE110RT, United Kingdom. Our VAT number is 915804327.
3. Your status
By placing an order with our company, you warrant that:
you are legally capable of entering into binding contracts; and
you are at least 18 years old.
If you are acting on behalf of a company or other business, you further warrant that you personally have the authority to bind that company or business on whose behalf you are placing an order.
4. Placing an order
Information that you provide while placing an order with us must be complete and accurate. You agree that we may block access to your account or the Services we supply if we reasonably believe that the information you have supplied is inaccurate
5. How the contract is formed between you and us
Your order constitutes an offer to us to buy our Services and all orders are subject to acceptance by us. We may decline your order for the Services for any reason, in which case we will tell you so.
The Contract will relate only to those Services we have stated we will provide as part of your order. We will not be obliged to supply any other Services which may have been part of your order until such Services have been confirmed in a separate Acceptance Confirmation.
6. Our status
We may provide links on our site to the web sites of other companies, whether affiliated with us or not. We cannot give any undertaking that products or services you purchase from companies to whose web site we have provided a link on our web site will be of satisfactory quality, and any such warranties are DISCLAIMED by us absolutely. This DISCLAIMER does not affect your statutory rights against the third party seller.
7. Consumer rights
If you are buying as a consumer (i.e., not within the course of your business), ordinarily, the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 allow you to cancel the Contract at any time within seven (7) working days, beginning on the day after you received the Acceptance Confirmation. However, by placing your order for the Services, you agree to us starting supply of those Services before the end of the seven working day cancellation period referred to here. As such, you will not have the right to cancel the Contract under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000.
This provision does not otherwise affect your statutory rights.
8. Our limited money back guarantee
Once the Contact has been formed you may, subject to clause 8.2, only cancel the Contract in relation to the Hosting Service you have purchased (unless your Hosting Service includes the use of a dedicated hosting server in which case you may not cancel the Contract). In such cases, you may cancel at any time within thirty (30) days, beginning on the day after you received the Acceptance Confirmation. If you do so, you will receive a full refund of the price paid for the Hosting Service you have cancelled. We will refund the price you have paid to the credit card, debit card or other account you used to make that payment. No other refund will be made.
To cancel the Contract under clause 8.1, you must inform us in writing at our registered address before the end of the thirty (30) day period mentioned in clause 8.1. As part of our cancellation process, we will respond to you via email to confirm your cancellation request. You must re-confirm your cancellation request via our email or we will continue to supply the Hosting Service and your cancellation under clause 8.1 will be ineffective.
You will not have any right under clause 8.1 to cancel the Contract for the supply of any other Services other than that noted in clause 8.1. Therefore, the Services which may not be cancelled include (but are not limited to):
Web site design and development Services;
Hosting Services where you request a dedicated hosting server;
Domain Registration and Renewal Services; and
Use of SSL certificates and other 'add on' products.
9. Quality
We warrant that (subject to the other provisions of these terms and conditions) any Services purchased from us will be provided with reasonable care and skill.
We will not be liable for a breach of the warranty in clause 9.1 unless:
you give written notice of the breach to us; and
we are given a reasonable opportunity after receiving the notice of examining our provision of the Services to you.
We will not be liable for a breach of the warranty in clause 9.1 if:
the problem arises because you failed to follow our oral or written instructions as to the use of the Services (if there are any); or
you alter the Services without our written consent; or
the problem arises because of misuse.
Subject to clause 9.2 and clause 9.3, if we are in breach of the warranty in clause 9.1 we will, at our expense, use all reasonable commercial efforts to remedy the breach promptly or refund the price of the Services at the pro rata Contract price. This constitutes your sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the warranty set out in clause 9.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we do not warrant that your use of the Services will be uninterrupted or error-free.
We reserve the right to modify the Services without notice to you provided such modification does not adversely affect your access to, or use of, the Services or detract from the overall performance of the Services. Any change which may have such adverse effect on you or may detract from the overall performance of the Services will be notified to you at least sixty (60) days prior to the change taking effect.
You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, promise or representation made or given by or on our behalf which is not set out on our web site or otherwise confirmed in writing by us. Nothing in this clause will exclude or limit our liability to you for fraudulent misrepresentation.
10. Access to the Hosting Service
You are responsible for making all arrangements necessary for you to have access to our Hosting Services. You are also responsible for ensuring that all persons who access our Services through your Internet connection are aware of these terms and conditions (and in particular our acceptable use policy
and that they comply with them.
11. Hosting Service, service levels
We will use our reasonable endeavours to make our servers available to you as part of the Hosting Service you purchase for ninety-nine (99) per cent of each calendar month. We do not warrant access to our servers will be uninterrupted or error free but we shall use reasonable endeavours to keep downtime to a minimum. We shall make all commercially reasonable efforts to provide you with advanced notification of all scheduled and emergency outages.
Service credits are not given for any form of downtime or service unavailability.
12. IP addresses
You will have no right, title or interest in any internet protocol address ("IP address") allocated to you, and any IP address allocated to you is allocated as part of the Hosting Service you purchased and is not portable or otherwise transferable by you in any manner whatsoever.
If an IP address is re-numbered or re-allocated by us, we shall use our reasonable endeavours to avoid any disruption to you.
You agree that you shall have no right, title or interest to any IP address upon expiry or termination of the Services, and that the acquisition by you of a new IP address following expiry or termination of the Services shall be solely your responsibility.
13. Back-up of your material and our servers
It is your responsibility to maintain appropriate and up-to-date back-up copies of any data, information or other material you upload (or permit to be uploaded) onto our servers ("Material") as part of your use of the Hosting Services. In the event of loss of or damage to your Material, you will not be given access to the server back-up we maintain pursuant to our archiving procedure.
We will follow our archiving procedures for the data stored on our servers. In the event of any loss or damage to our servers, your sole and exclusive remedy will be for us to use reasonable commercial efforts to restore the data on our servers (including your Material) from the latest back-up we maintained in accordance with our archiving procedure.

That part of the Contract relating to our Domain Registration and Renewal Service will commence on the date we send you our Acceptance Confirmation. It will continue until:
we have registered the domain name you have requested (the "Domain Name") and you subsequently ask us not to renew the registration of your Domain Name at any time before the renewal date; or
we terminate the supply of our Domain Registration and Renewal Service by notice to you because:
the Domain Name is no longer available for registration;
clause 16.1.7 applies;
you are in breach of clause 16.1.8; or
of some other reason preventing the registration of the Domain Name.
If we terminate the Domain Registration and Renewal Service under clauses 220.127.116.11, 18.104.22.168 or 220.127.116.11, we will refund the price you have paid for the Domain Registration and Renewal Service to the credit card, debit card or other account you used to make the payment.
That part of the Contract relating to Services other than our Domain Registration and Renewal Service will also commence on the date we send you our Acceptance Confirmation. Unless such Services are terminated as provided in this clause 20.3, they shall continue for the minimum period of time that applies to the Service you have purchased (as these are set out on our web site and subsequently confirmed in the Acceptance Confirmation) ("Minimum Term"). After expiry of the Minimum Term, they will continue on a month to month basis until terminated:
by you giving to us at least thirty (30) days advance written notice. You cannot cancel any of your Services by telephone. You will not receive any refund of the price you have paid for the Services you have cancelled; or
by us giving to you at least thirty (30) days advanced notice in written sent to the then current email address registered against your account.

Such payment will be taken on the same date of the month as on which the Services had originally commenced ("Payment Date") unless or until you cancel the Services in accordance with clause 20.3.1. We will not provide you with a refund for a cancellation that is part-way through a billing period. Where the Payment Date does not recur in a particular month (e.g., 31 January, but there is no 31 February), you will be charged on the closest preceding date to the Payment Date (e.g., 28 February) for that month.
Without prejudice to any other right to terminate or suspend the Services we may have under these terms and conditions, we may terminate the Contract at any time by giving you thirty (30) days advance notice by emailing you at the email address registered against your account. If we cancel the Services, we will refund to you the price you have paid for the Services on a pro-rata basis for the unexpired Minimum Term.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these terms and conditions, if you are in breach of an obligation of these terms and conditions we may terminate the Contract by seven (7) days notice to you and/or, at our absolute discretion, terminate or suspend without notice any individual Services we provide to you from time to time.

You may not transfer, assign, charge or otherwise dispose of the Contract, or any of your rights or obligations arising under it, without our prior written consent.
We may transfer, assign, charge, sub-contract or otherwise dispose of the Contract, or any of our rights or obligations arising under it, at any time during the term of the Contract.

fire, explosion, storm, flood, earthquake, subsidence, epidemic or other natural disaster;
impossibility of the use of public or private telecommunications networks; and
the acts, decrees, legislation, regulations or restrictions of any government.
Our performance under the Contract will be deemed to be suspended for the period that the Force Majeure Event continues, and we will have an extension of time for performance for the duration of that period. We will use our reasonable endeavours to bring the Force Majeure Event to a close or to find a solution by which our obligations under the Contract may be performed despite the Force Majeure Event.
28. Waiver
If we fail, at any time during the Contract, to insist upon strict performance of any of your obligations under the Contract or any of these terms and conditions, or if we fail to exercise any of the rights or remedies to which we are entitled under the Contract, this shall not constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies and shall not relieve you from compliance with such obligations.
A waiver by us of any default shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent default.
No waiver by us of any of these terms and conditions shall be effective unless it is expressly stated to be a waiver and is communicated to you in writing in accordance with clause 25.
29. Severability
If any of these terms and conditions or any provisions of the Contract are determined by any competent authority to be invalid, unlawful or unenforceable to any extent, such term, condition or provision will to that extent be severed from the remaining terms, conditions and provisions which will continue to be valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.

We each acknowledge that, in entering into the Contract, neither of us has relied on any representation, undertaking or promise given by the other or be implied from anything said or written in negotiations between us prior to such Contract except as expressly stated in these terms and conditions.
Neither of us shall have any remedy in respect of any untrue statement made by the other, whether orally or in writing, prior to the date of any Contract (unless such untrue statement was made fraudulently) and the other party's only remedy shall be for breach of contract as provided in these terms and conditions.
31. Our right to vary these terms and conditions
We have the right to revise and amend these terms and conditions from time to time to reflect changes in market conditions affecting our business, changes in technology, changes in payment methods, changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements and changes in our system's capabilities.
You will be subject to the policies and terms and conditions in force at the time that you order services from us, unless any change to those policies or these terms and conditions is required to be made by law or governmental authority (in which case it will apply to orders previously placed by you), or if we notify you of the change to those policies or these terms and conditions before we send you the Acceptance Confirmation (in which case we have the right to assume that you have accepted the change to the terms and conditions, unless you notify us to the contrary within seven (7) working days of receipt by you of the Acceptance Confirmation).

Another Year Older
Anyhoo, my tribute card to my son may need explaining. We have a small garden, mostly in planter boxes, and since he took over my farming responsibilities he's been getting creative. Second year now, he planted four (count 'em-four) corn stalks in a 12 inch by 30 inch planter. And such corn you've never tasted! Fresh off the cob, just like my growing up years when we went to the local farms and bought fresh by the bushel. Mother would have the pot boiling, with that little pinch of sugar, while we frantically husked the ears so we'd get the freshest, sweetest corn in the world. Okay, rather than blustering on indefinitely, here's the card. My salute to Farmer Rob and his four corn stalks on his xxxx'th birthday.
I've added his favorite expression, gleaned from his Great Grandfather's impressive collection of Yiddish slang. I actually paid for this stamp, simply because I was so intrigued by the fact that there really WAS a stamp with this sentiment. Too much fun. So, here's the inside. I hope he gets as big a kick out of receiving this as I had making it.
I've entered some challenges, this week.
Crazy 4 Challenges: Male Card
Cupcake Inspirations: Fall Colors
Make it Monday: Anything Goes
Really Reasonable Ribbons: Keep it Clean
Whew! Definitely a First for Me!

Sue, this card is awesome! My husband (from Iowa) use to shuck corn with his mom for a local farmer...they got so many cents per ear! He loooooves sweet corn and, if there is such a thing, is a corn snob. When I buy it from the grocery store, he won't eat it but if I get it off a farmer's truck, it's heaven. And once I got ahold of some Iowa corn and, swear to God, he KNEW it was Iowa corn before I even had time to tell him. Took one bite, looked up at me with his eyes a-shinin' and said, "Where did you get this? This is IOWA corn!" LOL!
Thanks so much for playing at Cupcake Inspirations this week!
Rene :DLOL! Love this post and LOVE the card and LOVE the Yiddish slang. I say that ALL the time. :)
Yeah you for fighting the aging system..me too! I find it's fascinating that my children can age, but I don't. LOL The older I get the less mirrors in the house.
Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful card with us at Make It Monday!
Remember, for a chance to win the prize from our sponsor, just leave a comment for another entry. Mention you saw them on Make It Monday. The more entries you comment on the more chances you have of winning! WOO HOO!!

Spencer Krug
Hadji Bakara
Arlen Thompson
March 2003
According to Arlen, this is how Wolf Parade formed:
As far as I can remember the story, Spencer was called by Alex Megelas of Grenadine Records to play a show opening for Melon Galia and Arcade Fire. Spencer agreed, although he had no band, so Spencer called up Dan to get something together for the show.
They wrote songs in Spencer's apartment playing with a drum machine through comupter speakers.
I got a call about a week before the show from Spencer asking me if I wanted to play a show that Saturday. I agreed and we rehearsed as a full band with amps and PA the day before and the day of our first show. All of the gear was borrowed; I don't think we had any equipment of our own except for Spencer's Juno-4 keyboard.
I am pretty sure that set the precedent of our band always being half-assed…
Like the Unicorns, they have roots on Vancouver Island as Dan Boechner was the leader of Atlas Strategic (CD on Global Symphonic) and Spencer Krug ...

Mailbox Suffers Outage Due To 'Unprecedented Demand'
When you consider yourself a pro at something, but it's mainly because you have a great tool to help you, what happens when that tool breaks?

The Return Of The Desktop Productivity App
For many users, the desktop productivity app probably never fully went away.

Dropbox Makes Mailbox More Service Agnostic With Support For Yahoo Mail And iCloud
Dropbox acquisition Mailbox has expanded from its single service roots with support for Yahoo Mail, iCloud, Me.com and Mac.com accounts.

Ark Launches Rapportive-Meets-Mailbox Email App In Pivot To Marketing Intelligence

Mailbox Adds Cloud Search For Gmail And Opens Links In Chrome
Dropbox-owned Mailbox has just added a couple of nice features, including the ability to search all of your Gmail messages in the cloud and locally on your device.
