Philippines to push exports to China
New strategy to focus less on electronics
The government intends to tweak the country's export strategy by pushing for a further penetration of the Chinese market and focusing less on electronics, aiming to reverse last year's contraction in export earnings that followed the changes in the global economic landscape.
The nearly 7-percent drop in exports last year was attributed to the decline in demand for electronics and other non-essentials from advanced Western economies, which had been key markets for Philippine-made goods, as they suffered from debt and economic woes.
Economic Planning Secretary Cayetano Paderanga Jr. said the Philippines has to wisely react to developments offshore to minimize the ill-effects of unfavorable external developments on the domestic economy, and doing so entailed revising the way the country did its export business.
"There is also an urgent need for the government to diversify our exports base," Paderanga said Friday night in a speech delivered during the induction ceremony of the 2012 board of the Economic Journalists Association of the Philippines (EJAP).
Paderanga, who is also director general of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA), said the Philippines has to take advantage of the intentions of China, the world's fastest-growing economy, to become more import-oriented. He said the Philippines has to look for ways to increase its exports to the giant Asian neighbor to benefit from the new mindset of China.
China, which has been keeping its currency weak as it aims to keep its exports relatively cheap and thus more affordable and competitive, is reported to be focusing on boosting domestic income as a source of growth and this is seen to cause a rise in its import demand. The changing strategy of China is anchored on the weak global demand over the past few years due to the crises suffered by Western economies.
China has been one of the major markets for Philippine-made goods. The United States and the eurozone account for about 15 percent of Philippine export earnings.

Macromedia Shockwave(TM) and Flash(TM) Players Incorporated Into Windows 98
SAN FRANCISCO, July 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Macromedia, Inc. (Nasdaq: MACR) announced today that its critically-acclaimed Internet products, the Shockwave and Flash players, are pre-installed with every copy of Microsoft's newly released Windows 98 operating system. Without downloads, rich media content is now instantly available for millions of users.
Windows 98 users can now automatically experience the speed and unparalleled sensation of Shockwave streaming media and CD quality audio in games, animated interfaces, interactive demos and instructional presentations. Windows 98 users can also seamlessly access high-performance Flash content -- including vector-based Web graphics, cartoons, illustrations, animated Web pages and more.
Shockwave and Flash are featured in a full spectrum of Web content from entertainment sites like Sony Pictures Entertainment ( http://www.sony.com/movies ), to product tours like that of 3Com's Palm III(TM) organizer ( http://www.palm.com/shockVR/ ). Other companies that feature the Shockwave and Flash players on their Web sites include: the International Olympic Committee, Suzuki, and Sony Camcorders Europe.
"Macromedia and Microsoft are improving the online experience for millions of Windows 98 users," said David Mendels, general manager of Macromedia's Graphics, Internet and Multimedia Business Unit. "Developers can create more compelling, effective Web sites that bring viewers back again and again; and consumers get a more exciting Web experience without having to worry about downloading and installing technology. Now that our players are included in every version of Windows 98, the excitement of Shockwave and Flash-based content is accessible to anyone creating or viewing rich media Web pages."
"We're excited to be able to offer Windows 98 consumers the easiest, most complete and personalized Internet capabilities that are available on the market," said Rob Bennett, Microsoft's group product manager of the Windows platform at Microsoft Corp. "Macromedia Shockwave and Flash players provide customers with a rich, engaging Web multimedia experience, and we're pleased to provide them as valuable additions to Windows 98."
About Macromedia Players
Daily downloads of the Shockwave and Flash players (available at http://www.macromedia.com/) have continued to grow to a rate of 310,000 per day, totaling more than 93 million downloads worldwide to date.
Since its introduction in December 1995, Macromedia Shockwave technology has brought multimedia to the Internet, transforming the Web from a static, text-based medium into a dynamic, interactive experience. Shockwave content is created with Macromedia Director(R). Director, now in version 6.5, is an industry standard for creating powerful multimedia content. (For more information, visit http://www.macromedia.com/software/director/).
Macromedia Flash products bring compelling, interactive multimedia content to life on the Web. Professional Web designers use the Flash authoring tool to create and deliver compact, fast, and beautiful vector-based graphics and animation for the Web. Macromedia Generator(TM) is new server-based software that uses templates created in Flash to deliver Web graphics on- the-fly from dynamic, real-time data. The free Flash player enables Web consumers to display Flash and Generator content that streams, or plays, as it downloads from within a Web browser -- even when surfing the net with standard 28.8 kps modems.
Macromedia recently published the popular Flash file format (.swf) as an open Internet binary standard with widespread support from industry-leading companies including Microsoft, IBM, RealNetworks, Netscape, Associated Press, @Home and Broderbund. The move establishes Flash as the Web standard for vector graphics and animation, provides a more attractive environment to content publishers, allows Web designers to make animation a standard element in their designs, and enables developers to deliver Flash-compatible authoring and editing tools.

In this particular industry, the entertainment biz, the lifespan of a job varies considerably. I know of a couple entertainers who work Baltimore's Little Italy and have been there for two decades. They worked 5-nights a week, but never worked Sunday or Monday nights. The club's owner decided that would be a good day to rotate some new performers through the restaurant/bar area, and I was one of them. After a single, Sunday night performance the owner asked if I would consider working every Sunday, which I did for the next two years.
In the Florida Keys entertainers are frequently seasonal, which translates to lower pay and a fair amount of competition. Therefore, I drove down to the keys last winter, checked out the nightly entertainment, then looked at the demographics. Key West, while always a jumpin' town, was geared primarily for the younger set, adolescent adults ranging in age from 21 to 45--not my kind of crowd (I'm an old guy.)
Marathon, Big Pine Key, Key Largo and several others seemed to cater to the older, more laid-back kind of crowds, which is where I fit in nicely. As our population ages there's an increasing demand for the entertainment I provide. An old friend and keys resident told me in no uncertain terms that if I decided to perform in the middle and lower keys I would have more jobs than I could handle.
In contrast, the head-banging rockers playing at ear-bleed volumes have a tendency to drive the older folks away--something restaurant and bar owners do NOT wish to do. Older folks have money, and they are willing to spend it in a place where they're having fun and dance.
Ironically, most performers in seasonal, resort areas tend to be transient, a bit younger, and not a bit concerned about an old guy coming to town. Some even look at me as a kind of father figure, often coming up to me on breaks and asking advice about various types of equipment.
I only want to work a couple nights a week, just enough to meet expenses and allow me to sail to places I've never been in a small boat. If the music jobs fall apart, I guess I'll have to survive on my Social Security and eat the fish that I catch while sailing to some really neat places.

I doubt very much that any damage resulted. Brownells actually sells a tool specifically for this purpose that works basically the the same way, though a bit more precise. I have it, I've used it and it works great - no damage to my mags inside or out. You simply exert just enough pressure on the base of the magazine to allow the base plate to be removed. Finger pressure seems to work fine for most.

I just put a pierce grip extension on my new G33, and I had a very tough time. There's nothing to grab on to since the mag is so small, plus being new it's very tight. I really chewed up the retention button on the floor plate. I used an allen wrench. I won't be putting the other extension on tonight. It's a PITA.

I think you missed the point here...
Hi Misery,
From your comments, its pretty clear that you didn't use a tool long enough to 'flip' the mag base inside the mag. The allen wrench wasn't either long or stout enough. You can use anything with a shaft on it small enough to fit into the opening... like a number eight nail... or small diameter screwdriver (the point might scratch up the retainer but not hurt anything). A flat blade screwdriver small enough to fit works just fine.
You just push the bottom plate in with the screw driver at least 2 inches or there abouts... angling the screwdriver at about a 30 degree angle to one side of the mag or the other. You need the length so that there is room for the inner base to rotate 90 dgrees to the plate and slip past the screwdriver shaft. When it does, you will hear a click. You then just use your tool, still insterted, to slide the base forward, off the magazine.
Again, your tool was too short. They love to sell you Glock Armorer's tools.. but it is just a small screwdriver with the tip hacksawed off.
Good luck.
So what part of "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" do you not understand?

Thanks Paul. I'll look around outside for something better to use. The Glock tool is too expensive for what it is. Anyhow, I'll try how you said.

Try using a small C-clamp to squeeze the sides of the magazine together, then ideally use a proper-sized pin punch. The bottom plate slides off easily and quickly with the magazine sides held together by the C-clamp. Magazine floorplate removal and replacement in less than a minute. Without the C-clamp (or something equivalent), you have an additional task: to clean the blood off the magazine - don't ask how I know.

Oops. Think I broke something. I tried the technique in the video, it ain't working. I have a brand new 27 and for the life of me I can't get the plate off. I've tried to press the sides about 20 different ways and still nothing. Now the plate on the inside is sideways and up at the top, not at the side where it's supposed to be. Any advise or is that magazine just garbage now?

The base should slide right off...
If the interior base has flipped up... to the side... maybe even further up inside the magazine alongside the spring... not to worry. What holds the exterior mag base from just slipping forward off the bottom of the magazine is a small "tit" that pokes through the hole in the base, preventing the exterior base from slipping off.
The bottom of the spring holds the interior base down against the exterior base... and the "tit" in the hole. When you push the "tit" through the hole and the interior base flips... whatever tool you are using should be able to just slide the base forward off the magazine... and the spring will pop down and out, bringing the interior base with it. It's just like a jack in the box of old. When you put it back together... the spring goes in... pretty obvious the orientation of top and bottom parallel with slide and mag base... you push down the spring with the interior base... and while holding it down.... slip the exterior mag base over the interior one... and slide it on until it "clicks" and the "tit" pokes through the hole.
You should be "there"... just pull the base off... I doubt if you have broken it.
Good luck, Paul

The 'tit' on the magazine insert also keeps the magazine insert in place.
The magazine insert itself is what keeps the sides of the magazine from being compressed and the floor plate 'locked' in place. Once it has been flipped out of the way, the floor plate will come right off.
You guys who are using C clamps, the Brownells tool, etc... are going to damage your magazine tube and/or insert.
This is such an easy thing - some of you are making it way more difficult than it has to be by inventing new ways in which to disassemble.

I know this thread is a little old, but it really helped me. I thought I had broken one of my mags, had flipped the insert, but couldn't get the baseplate off. After watching the linked video earlier in the thread, I was able to take the plate off and fix it in under 20 seconds. Not that hard once you see it done. Thank you guys so much!!!!!

I thought I would chime in on this subject, those that have done this before it is pretty straight forward. MY first time let say it can cause one to nearly have a nervous breakdown. I LEARNED from my first attempt. So I IMPROVISED I HAVE a XCELITE PS120 KIT some may know that this is 8 small nut drivers and a torque handle. I found that the P-3 3/32" was the perfect size insert it( lock tab release ) half the way down
(1") with nut driver on handle & you can bring the base right on off if you are right handed (pull toward front part of mag) with left hand holding magazine left thumb following the base as you slowly move the left hand thumb to hold spring plate in place mag base now removed ( NOTE DO NOT USE ANY TOOLS) put extension on with right hand & slight downward pressure with left thumb floor plate just enough so base will slide over extension continue until rear of extension is on you will notice the front part of extension is now flush with magazine.If you have trouble pushing just use a sturdy flat surface and push on just reverse for left-handed . Hey folks I hope this will help I know others have give their thought so now I have too and I notice a 60 year young person said he could do it behind his back I may have to try that but I am 66 years old.
We always have time for things we put first,Glock time !!!.

What is the shape of the handle on the torx screwdriver? The rounded corners of the armorer's tool are used to center the pins in the frame.
that is good to know thank's did not know that

You can get the Glock Armorers Tool from
or on ebay or just use a 3/32 punch. I wouldn't use channel locks or a vise to compress the sides or the magazine because you may damage the metal part of the magazine or break something in side it.
I have installed at least five extensions on my G27 magazines with this tool and it is a snap once you get use to it. One of the best investments that I have made along with the front & rear sight installation tool from Glockmeister.
Good luck,

Am I missing something regarding the 10 rounders? The inside plate will only push in about 1/8 of an inch before stopping. I finally was able to get the damn thing off but after inspecting it I find that there is absolutely no way that the GAT would insert any farther than the punch I was using. You have very little leverage when you only get the tip of the tool into the mag before it stops.
I haven't tried it on any of the 13 rounders yet but assume that they are built like the mags in the video with an inside plate that can flip up out of the way.
I mashed hands about 2 out of 3 attempts to get the thing apart. Now that I have done it a few times I think I can do it without the bodily injury but there is still no way to take apart the Klinton mags without brute force.
Is this normal with the 10 rounders? I have heard mention of newer baseplates but need to read up on this. Might be that I have older internal plates? Bought the gun in 2000 or so.

You just need to use a little more downward force. There have been no changes to the bases or inserts during the last 15 years. All 10-round mags are 1994 or newer.

OK, I just got my spring kit in the mail to rebuild my mags. The 10 rounders are built different then the 13 rounders. There is a shelf built into both sides of the magazine body of the 10 rounder in the base that prevents the internal plate from flipping out of the way when trying to disassemble. It is physically impossible to push the internal plates out of the way on both of mine. All of my 13 rounders disassemble just like the video and are a piece of cake to strip and put back together.
The Glock Armourers Tool cannot be pushed more than 1/8 - 1/4 inch into the mag with the 10 rounders. They are a real PITA to take down. You have to get the nib pushed in and either crank really hard on the tool (I recommend you don't do this as it dings up the hole for the nib) or you have to have something really hard to push the back corner of the base plate on to get it over the locking tabs on the mag body.
I don't know if there are any differences between calibers for the 10 rounders or if any 10 rounders were built different to this but the video solution will not work for both of mine. I have two model 32 .357SIG 10 round mags that are both built the same with the shelves built in the bottom of the mag body. I also have one model 32 .357SIG 13 round mag that disassembles exactly like video shows. I have two model 23 .40 S&W 13 round mags that also disassemble exactly like the video shows.
I can post pics if anyone is really that interested. Long story short, the 10 round mags do not come apart as simply as the hi cap mags unless there are different 10 round mag designs that I don't know about. This may also be the reason why a few others are saying their mags won't come apart easily. I don't know if the 26, 27, 33 mags are built with shelves or not.

WHOA! Flashback to my Glock Armorers one day course. GREAT VID. Short, precise and to the point.
To everyone else who are complaining about the price of this armorers tool.
Let me get this correct.
You spent AT LEAST $400 for a used Glock or $500 for a new Glock. And believe me I DO UNDERSTAND that money does not grow on trees. I am retired. So that means I have ZERO money.
At either Glockmeister or LWD the armorer's tool is $10. Ok, lets add 50% ($5) for s&h. So you spend a TOTAL of $15 for a tool that YOU NEED for ease of disassembly/reassembly and you are saying that's too expensive?
I'm sorry, but that makes NO SENSE.
Do you change a flat tire on your car with a hammer? NO.
You get the tire iron (correct tool for the job) to loosen the nuts on the flat tire.
You use a car jack (please tell me YOU DO USE A CAR JACK - again, the CORRECT TOOL) to lift and lower your car while changing the flat off the car. Yeah, yeah, some of you young studs just hold the car up while your spouse/friend changes the tire.
Then you put the nuts back on with the tire iron again. Unless you are anal like I am and check everything with your torque wrench (you COULD ARGUE it's NOT the correct tool, but according to manufacturers specs, it's so many ft/lbs per nut, so I can't say it is or is not the correct tool).
But folks, it's all relative. Compared to what I paid Glock for the one day armorers course (my memory is vague, as it's been 10+ years) or what I paid for the 14 months of my gunsmithing school, that $15 for the CORRECT TOOL pales in comparison.
And just so EVERYONE KNOWS - the GLOCK ARMORERS TOOL that I got at my Glock Armorer's course a little more than 10 years ago measurement is as follows.
OAL is 3.690 inches
Pin Length is 1.390 inches
Pin Diameter is .0975 inches
Handle is .473 x .473 square and is 2.30 inches in length
(3/32 is .0938 inches, so the armorers tool diameter is a little larger than the 3/32 pin punch - BUT a 3/32 pin punch whose pin is at least 1.5 inches in length for that 3/32 punch SHOULD WORK for this particular magazine disassembly routine)
I hope this helps.
And THANK YOU RANDY for making that video.
And IF THOSE ARE YOUR WIFE'S HANDS IN THE VID, send that woman to a spa day dude...

From the spots, to the skating, to the cinematography, this video has it all and more. The Skate Gods must be pleased...
The Canary Islands off the coast of Africa were a unique travel choice for SOTY 2014 Wes Kremer. This absolutely ripping edit shows these guys had non-stop fun the whole time. Also featuring Torey Pudwill, Marius Syvanen, Madars Apse, T-Funk, Tyler Surrey, and many more.
After winning SOTY, Wes could pick wherever in the world he wanted to go and whoever he wanted to join him. This video is gonna be a total blast. Premieres here this Friday.
Whether you're full-grown or still a kid, gravity works the same. T-Funk gets crushed on a late night mission.
DC Shoes welcomes Tristan Funkhouser and Bobby de Keyzer to the global team with this video, DEFUNKT.
No matter where in the world he takes his board, Donny always represents raw East Coast skating. T-Funk introduces a classic from the 1996 Toy Machine video.
It's always sick when someone ends a line at 3rd and Army by using the narrow roll-up on the way to the big gap.
The 22nd annual Skatepark of Tampa Am contest went down this last weekend. Check out some photos here.
A lot can go down in two hours. Just wait 'til you see the hairball quarterpipe modification at the end.
Skate Tank, the van is being retired along with Beagle's VX and this video is a collection of footage of all the Shake Junt team riders, select homies and all from trips in "the tank." Check out some photos from the premiere here.
The wait is over! Last night the Plan B video "True" premiered in Hollywood at the Montalban theater. Check out some photos here.
This is gonna be awesome. Three part Shake Junt video starting next Monday. Get in the tank or get rolled on.
T-Funk sets it off, Evan Smith brings it home, but the ripping in between ain't nothing to sleep on.
You'd be amazed at what these young bucks can accomplish in a couple hours. Well done, kids. The future looks bright...

BA Program
The objective of the undergraduate curriculum is to develop within students the creative, cognitive, communication and entrepreneurial skills that will prepare them as citizens of the world and artists contributing to the development of the future of theater in the 21st century. We hope to inspire our students to fulfill their creative potential within an ever more interdisciplinary artistic environment that is responsive to tomorrow's marketplace and the future needs of our multiple communities.
The undergraduate curriculum is intended to combine outstanding liberal arts classes with intensive theater studies. The department requires that all undergraduate students take a broad foundation of theater classes and also have the opportunity for more specialized theater studies as they progress through the program. Students also participate in the extensive department production programs. These opportunities onstage, front of the house, and backstage are a natural and important extension of classroom work.
The successful student graduates from the program with excellent communication skills, a broad-based liberal arts background, developed abilities within the discipline of theater, the appreciation of a commitment to artistry, and the life-learning capacities that will enable success in a wide variety of future endeavors. Our alumni are not only successful artists in theater and all of the entertainment industries, but they are also leaders in many other fields.
Theater Concentrations
The department offers five concentrations for students in the theater major. These concentrations are Acting, Directing, Design/Technical, Musical Theater, and Theater Education. Students are not required to pursue an area specific concentration. Students who do not select a concentration are considered to be pursuing a Theater Studies Sequence. Theater Studies allows students the maximum flexibility. Students can select varied coursework within the department, pursue a minor or double major, and participate in several extracurricular clubs.
The Theater Studies Sequence prepares students to enter graduate programs or pursue careers in theater, other entertainment industries and fields. It is within this sequence that entrepreneurial students, the student who wishes to explore future interdisciplinary linkages, or those most interested in playwriting, might best fit. The student who follows the Theater Studies Sequence may select any courses offered by the department as long as required prerequisites are completed with applicable proficiencies as indicated in some courses, by a grade of C or better.
Theater Studies Sequence students must complete the Theater foundation courses. They are encouraged to meet with a Theater Department faculty member to discuss their goals and to develop a selection of courses that will best prepare them to achieve their professional aspirations after graduation.
The Department of Theater also offers a 20 credit-hour minor which is available to undergraduate students from other departments and colleges. The minor is intended to give some broad introduction in theater followed by a small amount of specialization. See below for more information.
Undergraduate Advising
Students are advised by professional academic advisors and the theater faculty.
Academic Advisor Lesley Copans will help you chart your course through your degree program and major, discuss academic electives, and all the policies and procedures regarding registration, withdrawals, changes of major and leaves of absence.
Students can make appointments to meet with Lesley Copan, Academic Advisor for Theater, by emailing her at email@example.com
Academic Advising maintains a physical file of important documentation regarding your academic progress, but the University also provides digital tools to guide you, including the DARS (Degree Audit Reporting System). Undergraduate students and their advisors use the DARS to plan and track a student's academic career at Temple.
Please make plans to visit your academic advisor at least once per year, to make sure that you are on track. Students who plan to study abroad need to plan early, ideally before the beginning of the sophomore year.
Students preparing to graduate must file the necessary paperwork one semester prior to the graduation date. At that time, an appointment should be made with an academic advisor to complete a graduation review and application for graduation.
Academic advisors attempt to avoid errors when advising students about their program requirements, but schools and colleges cannot assume liability for errors in advising. Therefore, students must assume primary responsibility for knowing the requirements for their degree and for acquiring current information about their academic status.

For appointments, please contact Academic Advisors (firstname.lastname@example.com).
Faculty Advising
The faculty is also an invaluable resource for specific information about your major as well as about graduate school or preparation for a future career in theater and related fields.
Students should select a faculty advisor within their first year in the department. Students should start by contacting the head of the their area of interest. If you do not have an area interest or are undecided you should begin by meeting with Professor David Ingram, advisor to Theater Studies students. Student may change faculty advisors during their tenure in the department. Many faculty members have open sign-up sheets on their office doors for students in need of advising throughout the semester.

Some examples include light board operator, set construction, hairdresser, or assistant house manager. During the four semesters a student is completing a contract, the student must register for Theater 1087 Section 002. Information on contract sign-ups is disseminated via the student list-serv.
Entering freshman will participate in Freshman Seminar in tandem with Theater 1087 during the fall semester. Graduating seniors will participate in a capstone course Senior Seminar during their final spring semester. It is suggested that students do not fulfill a production contract during those semesters.
Theater 1087 is a graded course and a requirement for graduation in the degree of Bachelor of Arts.
Theater Minor
A 20 credit-hour minor is available to undergraduate students in other departments and colleges. The minor is intended to give some broad introduction in theater followed by a small amount of specialization. A notation on the transcript will indicate successful completion of the minor.
Students electing the Theater Minor may apply up to six transfer credits toward the twenty required. Students must receive the permission of their advisor before starting in this program. Once the minor has been approved, students must follow the academic rules of the Department of Theater for all theater courses.
Learn more about the requirements of the minor in the Undergraduate Bulletin and in this PDF.

Scientists confirm element 117
This superheavy was produced for the second time — and by a different team of researchers than four years ago — proving that ununseptium is real
By Janet Raloff, 09:32 AM May 13, 2014
The second time's the charm. For the second time in four years, scientists report creating a new element with 117 protons in its nucleus. That new report confirms element 117's existence.
Both times, scientists reported making only a small amount. Several atoms. And they lasted for less than a second before breaking apart. But that was enough.
Scientists first claimed to make the element in 2010.The science community wanted to be sure that discovery was real, however, before celebrating its bir...

Jul 17, 2013A sincere, slow-moving, occasionally successful film devoted to one specific homefront story. That, in itself, is noteworthy.
My reservations about Copperhead are outweighed by the noble intentions that inspired it.
Director Ron Maxwell's adaptation of Harold Frederic's 1893 novel elicits a certain amount of admiration for its old-fashioned carpentry and earnest, worthy approach, but its stilted dramaturgy and endless speechifying defeat the committed efforts of a sprawling ensemble.
Jun 27, 2013The story offers uncommon insights on the endlessly parsed period in history, but its execution sometimes falls short. Both the production quality and the persistent, sentimental soundtrack create a made-for-TV feel.
Named for a slur used against Northerners who opposed waging war on the South, the film works best when focused on Abner Beech (Billy Campbell), whose conscience-driven minority opinion makes him a pariah in his upstate New York village.
Jul 16, 2013Given Maxwell's dry style and fixation on 19th-century vernacular, the result is less like a peering examination of the turbulent political environment than a reenactment of a Ken Burns documentary—or a museum tour.
Director Ron Maxwell (Gettysburg, Gods and Generals) shows a flair for mythologizing via beautiful panoramas of upstate New York landscapes but less so, unfortunately, through his film's inert story and flat performances.
It's a maudlin, meandering bit of moviemaking that sheds little light on the loyal opposition in the North.
Jun 25, 2013Ron Maxwell's film, from beginning to end, exudes all the excitement of a textbook history lesson.
Though the tale, based on a novel by Harold Frederic, remains relevant to our time, the film is too self-conscious and tedious for the message it delivers.
Painfully lugubrious, any sting Copperhead might contain for its contrarian's view of history is undone by its wayward sense of storytelling.

Proof Nadal is better than his rivals

and somehow i think that would've been better to a lot of the people here on TT than him staying around, making more clay finals (that he lost to the clay freaking GOAT!... do you realize if Nadal were just a great clay player and not the Cgoat that federer would have 3 french open titles and a CYGS?) and winning more masters and even another major.
You do realise that Nadal's outdoor HC record against Federer is 5-2 right? It should've been 6-1 if it wasn't for that massive choke in Miami 2005 where Rafa was up 2 sets and a break in the third.
Truth is, Nadal hadn't developed his game well enough to make it to HC slam finals and your argument that Fed "would've" beat Rafa if he did is absolute rubbish. Fed is LUCKY that Rafa wasn't making those HC slam finals because teenage Rafa was beating peak Federer in HC matches.
Rafa made his first HC slam final at age 22, the same age as Federer, but for some reason you expect Rafa to have been better than Federer at HC majors when age 17-21? LOL.
Federer played as well as he ever did apart from his serving in the 09AO final and still lost. Federer also was playing very well in 2012 AO and still lost when he met Rafa. Peak Federer was struggling to beat an early 20's Nadal at WIMBLEDON his "backyard" slam.
As for "taking away" Rafa's clay wins, why don't you take away Fed's indoor wins?
And when Rafa was making HC and grass slam finals in 2010 onwards where was Federer? Rafa made it to WIM2010, USO2010, WIM2011, USO2011 and AO2012 finals. He only played Federer in 2012 AO because ot was a semi and Rafa beat him there. Just like he would've beat him at any of those other tournaments had Fed managed to turn up.

If Federer chooses to continue playing, then yes, he's going to end up with a -H2H against the other top 3.
Should he quit?
what's better... quitting now to preserve H2H? quitting in 2010 to preserve H2H? or getting possibly another major (which is entirely possible)
And it's not shocking that the following TEENAGERS beat PEAK Federer:
Berdych, Nadal (many times), Murray and Novak (actually think he might've just turned 20). Gasquet also did it IIRC.
It's not shocking that a 34+ year old Agassi pushed peak Federer to the limit in majors? LOL.
Murray's h2h against Federer before 2010 was 6-4
And if Fed retired in 2010, it would not help his case against Rafa whatsoever because he lost in HC and Grass slam finals to Rafa. Fed has never beat Nadal in a HC major. EVER. That's a fact that you have to live with.
So really, if he quit after 2010 AO, he'd have a +ve h2h against only Novak who was only aged 19-22 and even that h2h record wouldn't have been that great (9-5 IIRC).
In 2010 Federer was 28 turning 29, he was not old, not even in tennis terms it's just a lame excuse you ****s bring up all the time but to no avail.

Hydro Grow Makes Big Splash Into the Aquarium LED Grow Light Market with New Aquarius Line
Aquarius LED Grow Lights from Hydro Grow offer a modern solution to HID lights for coral grown indoors in a tank environment.
(PRWEB) May 27, 2012
Whether in an upscale plastic surgery office in Beverly Hills or a Veterinarian´s office in the country, you´ve likely seen beautiful coral growing in an elaborate tank with colorful fish and little creatures scurrying about the sand floor. As a child my sister and I would glue our faces against the glass when seeing such a site, but we never took the time to think what made the coral grow.
A market leader in the LED Grow Light industry, Hydro Grow set out in 2011 to solve the question of what coral needs to thrive indoors. The only options for aquarium owners until now have been High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights such as Metal Halide (MH) or High Pressure Sodium (HPS), and Compact Fluorescent (CFL). These technologies are limited by the spectrum of light they are capable of producing, making them inefficient (yet capable) of growing plants and coral.
Coral is a small spineless animal living within a hard exoskeleton that obtains much of its energy from photosynthetic algae living within its tissues. Much like plants, coral in nature requires the sun in order to grow and is normally found in clear, shallow water no deeper than 200 feet (60m). In order to thrive indoors coral requires a unique balance of light in specific wavelengths and ratios very similar to terrestrial (land) plants.
Hydro Grow owners Julie and Cammie Mckenzie, are both certified divers with a love for traveling the world and diving the reefs they encounter. From Tahiti to the Dominican Republic the couple has studied coral in its natural habitat, taken light readings and analyzed the depths at which various types of coral is found. According to the pair their elaborate testing and studying of reefs in their natural habitat was crucial for re-creating similar environments indoors, and understanding what colors of light were available to the algae within the coral.
In the Aquarium world it is widely taught that red light plays little to no role in the growth of coral, as red light does not penetrate as deeply into water as blue light. Although red light does have more difficulty traveling through water, research done by Hydro Grow shows that many varieties of coral receive a fair amount of red light. This research is incredibly important as algae have photoreceptors for photosynthesis in both red and blue wavelengths; however Aquarium Grow Lights until now have focused primarily on white and blue.
The new Aquarius LED Grow Lights from Hydro Grow bridge the gap between decades-old HID technology, and the modern technology of LEDs. The Aquarius lights utilize a unique 5-wavelength spectrum comprised of blue, white, and UV LEDs to optimize the growth rate and beauty of coral in tanks. The white comes in a warm 2700k acting as a full-spectrum red, and a cool 12000k actinic blue.
The Aquarius LED Grow Lights are part of the X2 product platform offered by Hydro Grow, delivering 569% higher intensity than standard LED Aquarium Lights via the use of the new X2 lens. The X2 lens allows for deeper light penetration through water, delivering more valuable energy to coral for faster growth and higher absorption.
With the new Aquarius line scheduled for release June 2012, Hydro Grow is making a big splash into the LED Aquarium Light market, showing the same vigor that has allowed them to dominate the LED Grow Light market. A total of 6 new Aquarius LED Lights are being offered, providing different sizes for every tank from the small hobbyist at home, to the large tanks at Aquarium stores and Aquariums like Sea World. Because the LEDs produce such little heat, they also solve a lot of the water temperature problems associated with using HID lights, allowing higher success rates for coral growers and their habitats.
About Hydro Grow:
Hydro Grow is the leading developer of LED Grow Lights, with research and development offices in the US and China. Hydro Grow offers upgradeable technology built with the highest quality internal components, backed by a full 3-year warranty.

Paid Parking Debate
The Paid Parking Debate came to Fenland District Council's Annual Meeting yesterday in colourful fashion when Cllr Gavin Booth (Liberal Democrat) proposed a motion to rule it out for four years.
I would have liked to vote for Gavin Booth's motion and had expected to do so. Although there was a whip applied – as I've explained many times a whip is not what people think it is. I had leeway to vote against the group if I needed to.
However, Cllr. Chris Boden proposed an amendment to the motion. His amendment spoke of his determination to oppose Paid Parking also and called for a Comprehensive Spending Review to take place which he hoped would provide the evidence to get past the idea permanently. The amendment also confirmed that no sale of parking assets or attempts to introduce paid parking would happen until the Comprehensive Spending Review was complete.
Gavin Booth felt this amendment was illegal because it essentially negated the original motion, but Legal Officers confirmed their opinion that this was incorrect and that the amendment was in order. I think that was an interesting decision, but they are the experts.
Some people have suggested this amendment was a bit of a fudge and I think that is a fair criticism. It did not rule out Paid Parking, and instead appeared to "kick it into the long grass." Nevertheless I chose to vote for the motion for two reasons. The first was that anything which delays any chance of this crazy policy being proposed is good by me. The second is that I am confident that those of us who oppose Paid Parking will have a wealth of information from the Comprehensive Spending Review to demonstrate the false claim that "there is no choice" and that if the Powers That Be think we will now slink away and forget about it they are sorely mistaken.
The thing is – the new motion proposed gathering information and confirmed no Paid Parking until after this process had taken place, after which there would be a proper debate. How can any sensible person vote against that? It's entirely reasonable. I would certainly have preferred us to just rule it out now, but that wasn't going to make me vote against a Spending Review because that would be a foolish position to take.
Instead, several of my colleagues and I used the debate to clearly state that we would never, ever support Paid Parking. Councillor Chris Boden, Councillor Jan French, Councillor Garry Tibbs, Councillor Samantha Hoy and I all gave very clear speeches making it very clear that regardless of the outcome of the Comprehensive Spending Review, we did not and would not support it. This was my speech to Full Council:
I find myself in a difficult position. Of course I will not vote against a Comprehensive Spending Review. Information, fairly gathered and presented, is a good thing. Moreso if it comes with a guarantee of no Paid Parking in the meantime.
But be under no illusion about this. The public appreciate Councillors to speak plainly, so this is plain as I can be. What other Councillors do for their towns and wards is down to their own views and conscience.But regardless of what apocalyptic story is laid before us at the end of the review, I will never vote for a policy which I believe will kill my town. I will never vote for Paid Parking in Wisbech.
Hopefully that message was clear?
With the online petition set up by Martin Curtis still growing strongly and the Cross-Party Facebook Group also expanding rapidly it is clear that this is an issue which unites people; parties, individuals, businesses. It is an issue which sees UKIP and Labour nodding in the same way, which finds agreement from Eastern European and British traders and which is supported by the old and the young, drivers, pedestrians, retailers and shoppers. When the issue rises again in a few months time – and I have no doubt that it will – anybody who tries to push it through will have the fight of their lives on their hands. It is a fight I am confident we will win, because Paid Parking doesn't stack up socially, economically or politically and I will campaign relentlessly to make that case in a clear, professional and positive way.
Councillor Allowances
I've noticed some opposition types rumbling about Councillor Allowances.
I suspect this might be one of those issues where people spin opportunistically and so I just wanted to make two points as clearly as possible.
(1) We cannot refuse to look at allowances. It is law that we must look at them periodically. What we do not have to do is take a rise if one is recommended by the Independent people who are tasked with it. So if the opposition people try and spin that local Conservatives are doing it to get more money, it will be deliberate mischief making, not the truth.
(2) I have never voted for a rise in Councillor Allowances in the years I have been in local politics. Not because I don't think Councillors are entitled to be paid, but because I think it is wrong to take a rise while telling everybody how "tough" things are and how things need to be cut. So if the issue does arise, I will not support a rise, I will not vote for a rise and if a rise is ever agreed I will not take the rise. Exactly the same as last time this happened. I am nothing if not consistent. :)
I should stress that this is NOT on the cards at the moment and I hope it stays that way. This is just a blog post about a "what if" scenario.
Blog Changes
I'm going to be changing the focus of my blog a little. I intend to blog about three things; personal views, Ward issues, Fenland District Council Policy. Each type of post with have it's own header so people who aren't interested in one of the fields can quickly see what it is and avoid if if they want to.
Personal views: These will be my "soap box" stuff about national issues, or just waffling about something which is nothing to do with politics at all. I don't intend to do very much of this, though.
Ward Issues: Assisting my role as a Ward Councillor this will be stuff pertaining to Medworth or Wisbech which I encounter in my role as a Town & District Councillor.
FDC Policy: I will be exploring the small print and detail of Fenland District Council policy in order to help people be better informed and to shine a light into some of the darker policy corners, in a constructive way.
I think this means that for the time being the more "chatty" style I have favoured for quite some time now will take a back seat. My blog may be a bit drier than before, but it's nice to shake things up every once in a while, I reckon.
Robbery, Foiled.
On Saturday night I was emerging from the top of Post Office Lane at ten to one in the morning when I heard an almighty crashing and smashing from the road into the Market Place. I listened for a moment and it continued, including the sound of glass smashing.
I walked up the high street towards the noise and saw a man emerging from the doorway – or rather through the doorway – carrying what appeared to be two till boxes in his arms.
He started up the road towards the Market and I followed. As I came parallel to the QS doorway I saw it was a wreck and at that point I gave chase, shouting something at the robber.
The criminal looked back at me and then turned to sprint away, making a mistake as he did so. In his sudden dash, he was still partially staring back at me and he ran directly into a lamppost/pole thingy. It was a nasty collision which sent him tumbling to the ground, dropping the tills. I ran towards him, in the hope of apprehending him, but he jumped to his feet and sprinted away (leaving the tills behind.)
He dashed directly across the Market Place, cutting diagonally to the alleyway by Hughes. I am ashamed to admit that I am too old and unfit to catch up with him, I would guess he was in his early Twenties by his build and the way he moved. Instead I went back to secure the fallen tills – at least he had not gotten away with his loot.
The Police arrived (by chance, actually, not by design) within a few minutes. I was in the process of explaining to some people who had entered the Market that I needed them to call the Police (I didn't have my mobile phone with me) when they materialised by sheer luck anyway.
I spent twenty minutes with them as they secured the scene and bagged the evidence. With some luck the CCTV in the Market Place will have caught a better view of the crook than I got. I wish I'd arrived a little earlier to save the damage to the shop's door, but at least the scumbag didn't get away with anything of value.
It is not every day that I get to chase a robber through the night while dressed in pajamas, so it was invigorating and interesting in equal measures. (Why I was in pajamas is another story entirely.)
A friend of mine on Facebook commented that my life sounds like a page from the Beano. :) Yes, sometimes it does, at that. :)

Mayor Making 2015
I really enjoyed the Mayor Making ceremony in Wisbech today. We had visitors from Arles (France) who were lovely guests and I got to see my friend David Hodgson become Mayor and my friend Garry Tibbs become Deputy Mayor. Two nicer gentlemen you could not hope to find and they will complement one another perfectly. I have no doubt that they will serve and represent our town wonderfully during the following year.
*Post edited for spelling correction as suggested by John Elworthy.
Times Like These
Although I cannot comment about the content of private Conservative group meetings, as it is against the rules, I can comment on things which are in the public domain.
Some people will have seen that I made an (unsuccessful) bid to be leader of Fenland District Council today. Some opposition types have been quick to call me names and suggest motives (I thought we agreed a truce, Dave?) Naturally everybody will believe what they want to believe. But this is the actual truth:
The current leader offered me a cabinet post and I turned it down. The reason I turned it down was not to make a bid for leader: I had no such ambitions at this time and was quite happy to support the current leader just a few days ago. I could have taken the post and sat on my hands, but I did not get into politics to be a "yes man" and support things that I know damn well my constituents would never want me to support.
I turned down the Cabinet Post and made the bid for leader because I did not like the sound of the ideas that were floating around. I was afraid that anything else would simply result in these damaging, counter-productive and ill-considered ideas being rammed through. It was not me that leaked to the press – I have never leaked anything to the press and never intend to – it was a direct interview with the leader that revealed the items which I simply cannot support. There are several of them, but primary amongst them, numero uno, the big cheese is PAID PARKING.
It is my honest opinion that doing away with our free car parks and introducing paid parking in Wisbech will be the kiss of death for our brave little town. Our small shops and traders have stood firm against every storm, leapt every hurdle, battled valiantly past every obstacle and – despite everything, in the face of everything, have not only survived but in many cases thrived. Our English traders, our Eastern European traders, our market traders, our charity shops, this is something which unites us all. An issue which brings us together, no matter where we were born or what the nature of our trading interests are.
There are many reasons why our Town Centre continues to succeed despite endless predictions of its demise, but up at the top is the hugely important and much valued free car parks which serve our town so well. Visitors always comment on how refreshing it is to be able to park and shop for free. Traders and workers and shoppers and pedestrians and brides-to-be and parents bringing their kids in for an ice cream and to chase the pigeons. They all value our wonderful free parking.
"Everything must be considered," we will be told. "There is no choice." Of course there is a choice. There is always a choice. It may not be easy or palatable. It may require some hard work and imagination. But there is always a choice – and people who tell you there is not are just not telling you the truth.
My view is simple. I am just a backbench Councillor who represents the people in an area of Wisbech. Each Councillor who represents some other place must make their own decision, based on what they feel their electorate would expect. For me it is clear. My Ward, Medworth, includes BOTH of the major free car parks in Wisbech and the entirety of the Horsefair, Market Place, Hill Street, Market Street and Norfolk Street. This issue affects everybody, but it most directly affects the businesses and people in my ward. I will not support or vote for a measure that I believe will kill my town. There will be no spin, no political shenanigans, no clever word play. I simply will not support it.
As always with such things I will be accused of "sour grapes." This is not sour grapes. That would be putting the cart before the horse. This is the reason I felt I needed to stand for leader. Had I not thought the risk to our town too great, I would not have done so. I fully expect to pay a high price for standing firm on this issue, but I am going to do it anyway. I guess, at times like this, you find out who your friends are. It will be what it will be.
Anyway, I'd just like to close by saying to those people who voted for me today that I am sorry. I tried my best, but my best wasn't good enough. It was a fair contest and I lost it. Sorry.
Time To Get To Work
With all the drama and excitement behind us it's time to get on with the job. Steve Barclay has five years and the local Councillors have four years, all with a strong and refreshed public mandate. This week will see the first group meetings at both WTC and FDC where Leaders will be decided/confirmed and where the new teams will get everything on track for the future.
We have the matter of the County Council by-election to get out of the way too. Nobody wanted another by-election immediately after the main election, but we were given one anyway thanks to UKIP's choice to offer up Peter Lagoda as a Councillor. But never mind, they couldn't know he would turn out to be what he turned out to be, I guess.
Elsewhere, new and re-elected Councillors are talking about a completely fresh way to do things. I hope to see more surgeries, more newsletters, more regular engagement. We have a chance to start afresh here, backed by a national Conservative government. It'll be a tough four years, anybody who thinks otherwise hasn't been paying attention. But with some hard work, clever thinking and a solid team, it's an opportunity to deliver improvements for the people of Fenland.
Time to get to work.

Earlier today, we wrote about job cuts at the *Palm* Beach Post, the last of the major Florida papers to go that route. The announcement prompted a state-of-the-industry memo from Cox Newspapers' president Sandy Schwartz to publishers at the other papers owned by privately held Cox Enterprises. Posted by Romenesko, the memo includes a moment of truth that probably only could come from a private company these days:
"We have no expectations newspapers will return to the highly profitable days of the past; we do believe, however, we can publish newspapers that continue to make us proud and produce positive earnings."
(And, yes, we do know some would dispute even the positive earnings part.)
The memo, which also stressed multimedia and accelerating digital strategy, went to Atlanta Journal-Constitution staffers with a message from publisher John Mellott. From that: "Our AJC 2.0 efforts are in final prototyping stages. Our digital traffic continues to climb, and this week, we begin overarching digital strategy work." But more "cost reductions" are on the way.

|7 nights
This second-floor condominium offers spectacular ocean and mountain views and is located at the Lauloa, at Maalaea Village, a quiet uncongested area right on the ocean, centrally near many Maui attractions; including golf, whale watching, world class snorkeling, sailing and touring, hiking, and surfing.
You will be within easy walking distance of miles of pristine, undeveloped beach, the Maui Ocean Center aquarium, and picturesque Maalaea harbor. In the wintertime, the bay is alive migrating with humpback whales, easily viewed from the deck.
The condominium has a pool access, and is nicely-furnished, well-maintained, and completely equipped. A grocery store, several restaurants, cafes and shops are within walking distance.
I am a retired teacher and painter. My husband is a research scientist. We've enjoyed ranching, traveling the world and staying in Maui for 35 years.
Bonnie purchased this condo in 2006
We love Maui and living on the ocean. It's very quiet- Maalaea is Maui's best kept secret. Great beach.
We had a wonderful time here, thank you.
Great accommodations, location, weather,whale watching and tranquility made this trip for our son's beach wedding a memorable experience.
Thank you so much,

This was our first visit to Hawaii. My family and I enjoyed our time there. This was the perfect condo for our family. Very spacious and a beautiful view. We enjoyed eating breakfast out on the patio while listening to the waves and watching sea turtles swim by. This is a trip we will never forget. Thanks for everything Bonnie
What a wonderful condo in an excellent location - lanai right on the ocean and all amenities on the island easily accessible. We have enjoyed this lovely condo in January and February since 2000 and have tons of happy memories of our times there. Only a short walk down the street gets you to Haycraft Park and a great area to swim and a sand beach that you can walk on for miles. The sunrise over Haleakala is a treat to see right from the lanai, and the harbor shops and the aquarium are just down the street. You can have a fun time on a whale watch from Maalea Harbor and there are several really nice restaurants there to enjoy as well. It is a great vacation destination and we have enjoyed every moment of our visits there.
I spent 8 nights in this wonderful Condo! Everything was clean and there was everything that you will need in this place! I liked the location, it was central to everywhere would like to explore on Maui! 20 Minutes and you can be anywhere you want, Lahaina Town , the Airport, Kiehi its all good! There were tons of Whales and Turtles in the bay, we spent hours just watching the from the balcony! Thanks again it was awesome!
I chose this condo based on earlier reviews and I wasnt dissapointed! I stayed here with my wife, 2 year old son and parents for 5 days. The location is perfect - close to the Maui ocean center and only about 15-20 minutes away from the airport or kihei. The views from the lanai and bedroom are fabulous. We loved waking up to the sounds of the ocean and a view of the sun over Haleakala. The condo was very clean and well stocked with everything that we would need and more! We would definitely go back here again.
My husband and I stayed at this quiet condo on Maalaea Bay for a week in March. This is our second time. The first was in the middle of July last year. It is like our own private hide-a-way. It's tucked away on a private cove right on the water. A wonderful long white sandy beach for walking, swimming, and a little snorkeling is just a few minutes walk down a private road. You really don't feel like a tourist when you stay here.
The condo has a fully equipped kitchen where we made a lot of our meals. The best feature is the king size bed right by the sliding glass door that looks out over the Bay. We spent many an afternoon resting from a swim or adventure looking out the window and reading. In March, we watched the whales jumping out of the water. We also enjoyed the pool, which is set on the front lawn at the ocean's edge. There are a few restaurants in walking distance, both upscale and casual. For us, Maalaea Bay is a gem. The info packet with the lock box code to get in, they sent us ahead of time, made it a trouble free arrival.
We enjoyed a wonderful month in the condo, it was everything we expected and more.
The location is perfect, central to evrything on the island. The views were amazing, we watched the sunrise over the mountain, whales and turtles from the lanai. We cooked most of our meals at the condo and found it to have everything we needed. The owners are gracious and able to help with any questions that we had during our stay.
We loved the music at Beach Bums Bar and Grill, and the prawns at Buzz's Wharf were the best - both an enjoyable walk from the condo.
We hope to stay again sometime soon.
On the ocean. Lovely 7 mile beach
walking distance-maalaea harbour, restaurants, aquarium, miniature golf, shops

My daughter had upper jaw surgery 4 weeks ago.During the consultation, our maxillofacial surgeon suggested he lift her nose "a millimeter or two." Unfortunately,she said "OK."For the first couple of days after surgery,she looked fine.Over the next week,her nose kept turning up more and more.Now,her nose is turned up so much when looking at her face head on, all you see are two HUGE nostrils.Still some swelling in upper lip and sides of nose but most is gone.What should we do?
