"What If" is the debut single by English actress Kate Winslet. Released as a single in November 2001, it is taken from the animated film Christmas Carol: The Movie which is based on the Charles Dickens classic novel. Winslet provided the voice of Belle in the feature, which also stars Nicolas Cage, Jane Horrocks and Simon Callow. "What If" was written and produced by Steve Mac and is a ballad that follows the film's theme, as Belle laments the end of her and Scrooge's relationship and wonders what could have been. It was the only song to be released from the official movie soundtrack.
News that Winslet was secretly recording the one-off single to vie for the 2001 UK Christmas number one spot was reported in the Daily Mirror. In the event, the song entered the UK Singles Chart at number six,[1] and was beaten to the Christmas top spot by Robbie Williams and Nicole Kidman's version of "Somethin' Stupid". "What If" debuted at Number 1 on the Irish Singles Chart on 7 December 2001,[2] toppling Irish television puppet Dustin's version of "Sweet Caroline". It remained at number 1 for four weeks. The song also topped the charts in Austria and Belgium (Flanders) singles chart, was a Top 10 hit in Germany, Switzerland and the Netherlands, and won the 2002 OGAE Song Contest.[3]
An accompanying music video, which was directed by Paul Donnellon and produced by Chris Horton, shows Winslet walking around an old Victorian house, along with clips from the film. At Winslet's request, the proceeds from the single were given to the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and Sargent Cancer Care for Children.

I started up the single player of BF3 last night and died repeatedly. Granted this is my first real foray into the BF world (Company and Company 2 I don't think count), but I have played all the COD games and completed them on the hardest difficulty.
Like wise, I regularly play FPS and other action games.
But for some reason I spend more time at the "You Died" screen and the reloading screen than I do playing the game.
I've tried moving slowly, I've tried moving quickly, but it seems as though I more often than not end up at the "you died" screen.
For example, the scene in the second level before the earthquake, I was trying to get to the heavy machine gun on the bridge and kept getting shot down.
I am now in the third level, but since I keep dying, I am tempted to give up and move onto another game.
Any recommendations? Should I go from medium difficulty to easy or is there something I am just missing with respect to the game?

Although it's a powerful beast, it's clear that a stock F10 M5 is no match for the Ferrari 458 on the track. But, how about a tuned M5 with 640hp? The M5 is tuned by PP-Performance to 640HP and 780 NM torque. Goes from 0-100kmh in 3.9 seconds and 310kmh top speed.
Check out the results from this comparison video of the M5 vs Ferrari at the Yas Marina track in Abu Dhabi.
Some nice driving footage of a Sakhir Orange M5 F10.
The video has been post-processed, making Sakhir Orange look overly red, but for an accurate look at Sakhir Orange on the M5, see the first set of pics @ http://f10.m5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=706776
Nicely produced video of an Alpine White F10 M5 looking beautiful and matching the Slovenian winter setting. Produced and shot by Makoma Novo Mesto.
It seems that the 2012 M5 (F10) increasingly needs to look to full out sports cars in order to find the appropriate competition. Multiple outlets have already compared it against the Nissan GT-R and now Autoweek pits the F10 M5 against the Jaguary XKR-S in a showdown of two cars which possess both gentlemanlike and hooligan traits.
Watch and listen as a short throttle test within a dealership produces some impressive sounds from the 2012 M5 (F10). Listen to those pops on deceleration!
2012 BMW DTM driver Augusto Farfus Jr. takes a group of ragdolls (aka passengers) around in the F10 M5 as he demonstrates both the new M5′s power and handling, as well as his professional racing skills. Check out the video inside.
Sometimes it's mad fun (and great sounding) to rip off some revs in your BMW in enclosed spaces such as tunnels or underground garage. So how would the 560hp F10 M5 MotoGP Safety Car with its Akrapovic exhaust system sound in the BMW Welt? As you can see in the video inside, pretty damn awesome!
The F10 M5 has officially launched to the Singapore market and BMW held a launch event to mark the occasion. Our members in attendance brings us a few photos from the event, which featured appropriately, a Singapore Grey M5.
Also a neat video of the F10 M5′s S63tu engine's cams in action, the DCT transmission, and the M5′s suspension/brakes.

EVO has gathered the brutes of the executive sedan category – the F10 M5, Porsche Panamera S, E63 AMG, and Jaguar XFR, and gathered them for a group test.
To whet our appetite for their full review, they've released a drag race clip featuring all four cars. For reference, the cars feature:
M5 – 560hp / 501 lb-ft tq (4.4L turbo V8)
Panamera S – 400hp / 369 ft-lbs tq (4.8L V8)
E63 AMG – 518hp / 516ft-lb tq (5.5L V8)
XFR – 510hp / 461 ft-lbs tq … CONTINUED
As we reported last week, Sport Auto tested the new F10 M5 which lapped the Hockenheimring in 1:12.90. Complementing their test here is an video of Sport Auto doing a 0-300kph run as well as some nice drifts. Check it out inside.
There are some things you can't get enough of, and seeing the new BMW F10 M5 in motion surely is among them. BMW UK has just released a new video showing a Black Sapphire Metallic F10 M5 playing in the countryside on some twisties. As an upscale executive sedan, black works really well on the new M5 and it will likely be one of the most popular colors.
The 2012 M5 will be available in Europe later this month, while US customers will have to wait until … CONTINUED
The F10 M5 is powered by the lethal BMW bi-turbo V8 S63Tu motor outputting 560hp and 501 lb-ft torque. The specs signal that new M5 is good for some fast top speed runs, but how fast? This video demonstrates how quickly the F10 M5 achieves 196 MPH (315 kmh) – in just under an impressive minute.
This model is obviously top speed unlimited as the regular top speed of the F10 M5 is 250kmh (155mph) and 305kmh (189mph) with M Drivers Package.
This is my own first personal experience watching a review by Totalcar, but I have to say I loved it. The location, video footage and general hoonery is very Top Gear like. The presenter really hits on all the important themes and answered alot of my own questions about the M5 while having fun at the same time. By the end of the video, you can tell this car has really grown on the presenter and I think that says it all

This application is a continuation of and claims the benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/322,970, filed May 28, 1999, now U.S. Pat. No. 6,380,971, issued Apr. 30, 2002, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference.
The present invention generally relates to testing arrangements for VDSL based communication networks having combined video and data services, and more particularly to an arrangement for testing a physical VDSL network drop to a user location.
Digital Subscriber Line signal architectures, generally denoted as xDSL, allow digital distribution of combined broadband video and data services with traditional narrowband voice transmissions.
One form of xDSL of particular interest to the present invention is VDSL. (Very high speed Digital Subscriber Line), which is a packet-based transmission architecture used to provide extremely high bandwidth distribution of digital video and data signals to customer buildings. A VDSL-based architecture can advantageously provide a single platform for supporting bandwidth-intensive applications, such as Internet access, remote LAN access, video conferencing, and video-on-demand.
ADSL or asymmetric digital subscriber line services generally use existing unshielded twisted pair (UTP) copper wires from a telephone company's central office to the subscriber's premise, utilize electronic equipment in the form of ADSL modems at both the central office and the subscriber's premise, send high-speed digital signals up and down those copper wires, and send more information one way than the other. The ADSL flavor of xDSL services is capable of providing a downstream bandwidth of about 1.5 Mbps–8 Mbps, and an upstream bandwidth of about 16 Kbps–64 Kbps with loop distances ranging from about 3.7 km–5.5 km. HDSL or high bit rate digital subscriber line services provide a symmetric, high-performance connection over a shorter loop, and typically require two or three copper twisted pairs. HDSL is capable of providing both upstream and downstream bandwidth of about 1.5 Mbps, over loop distances of up to about 3.7 km. SDSL or single line digital subscriber line services provide a symmetric connection that matches HDSL performance using a single twisted pair, but operating over a shorter loop of up to about 3.0 km.
VDSL services are typically implemented in an asymmetric form having a downstream transmission capability of about 52 Mbps over twisted pair copper wire arranged in local loops of 300 m, 26 Mbps at 1,000 m, and 13 Mbps at 1,500 m. Upstream data rates in asymmetric implementations tend to range from about 1.6 Mbps to about 2.3 Mbps. A typical distribution system includes a central office equipped with a host digital terminal (HDT) and arranged to operate as a hub between multiple video information providers (VIPs)/digital service providers (DSPs) and customer residential dwellings. In a fiber-to-the-neighborhood (FTTN) type distribution system, optic fiber (e.g., OC-3c and OC-12c) lines are used to connect the central office to a universal system access multiplexer (USAM), which is then connected to a network interface device (NID) located on the customer property via twisted pair copper wire. A dedicated VDSL loop extends between the NID and an individual customer residence using an existing POTS or telephone system twisted pair wire, and a customer interface device, such as a residential gateway or set top box, provides a connection point for a customer television or personal computer. A fiber-to-the-curb (FTTC) type distribution system is similar except that a broadband network unit (BNU) is used in place of the USAM, and coaxial cable is used to connect the BNU, NID, and set top box.
The VDSL signal format is used to carry signals to and from the customer. In these systems, the central office provisions each user for programming access rights, and maintains a profile database for each provisioned customer at the HDT to control the signals/channels that can be viewed by the customer.
In this environment, each of the various components and connections play a critical role in maintaining signal and network integrity. One element of particular concern involves the network drop to each customer location. To date, a suitable test arrangement has yet to be developed which would allow each drop to be tested without actual provisioning of video/data service to the customer location. Because of service activation overhead and costs as well as potential theft of services concerns involved with having a drop be provisioned without verifying the drop's ability to support quality signal distribution, a need exists for an economical arrangement for testing a physical drop to a customer site that does not require pre-provisioning of the drop.
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to provide an xDSL/VDSL network test set and system capable of qualifying a customer drop without requiring the drop to be provisioned for receipt of services.
It is another object of the present invention to provide a VDSL network test set which allows a field technician to detect ATM cell loss and delay.
It is a further object of the present invention to provide a VDSL test system which allows verification of proper receipt of video/data signals at a customer NID, as well as out signaling capability for change of channel commands.
It is yet another object of the present invention to provide an economical VDSL test set which can be used by a field technician to pre-provision test a customer drop, as well as provide post fault network isolation.
In accordance with these and other objects, the present invention provides a system for testing performance capability of a user drop in an xDSL-based video and data communication network includes a network video signal test source and a network data signal test source arranged to generate at least one video test channel and one data test line. The network includes a signal processing arrangement for converting the test signals to an xDSL format for transmission on a network cable. A test device is coupled to the user drop and is provided with a network sign-on identifier for identifying the device as a test device. A network entitlement controller is arranged to provision user drops for receipt of video programming and data from a network distribution system. The network entitlement controller arranged to provision an unprovisioned customer drop for receipt of the network video test channel and the network data test line in response to receipt of a test device sign-on identifier, wherein the test device is arranged to test the user drop for video signal quality, and data transfer rate, error and loss conditions based on the generated test signals.
In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, the test device is formed as a modified user set top box. The video signal quality is determined by connecting a video monitoring device such as a television to an output of the test device. Alternatively, indicator lights can be provided on the test device to provide an indication of signal quality. The data transfer rate, error and loss conditions can be tested by connecting a suitably programmed computer to an output of the test device, or by incorporating such a microprocessor based system in the test device itself.
The above object and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention are readily apparent from the following detailed description of the best mode for carrying out the invention when taken in connection with the accompanying drawings.
Referring to
It is noted that while the exemplary embodiment of the present invention is described in connection with a VDSL-based system, the present invention can be employed using any type of xDSL format.
The combined signals are preferably transmitted using an asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) protocol on an ATM network 24 located in the central office. Such a protocol requires ATM framing of the signals to include a timing signal used by a receiving unit decoder to decode the signal payload. Examples of suitable fiber optic cable 20 include OC3c or OC12c cable, while twisted-pair cable 22 is preferably implemented using Category (CAT) 5 twisted copper pair wire.
At the central office, the ATM network is coupled to host digital terminal (HDT) 26 which is operative to maintain control over signals sent to the customer cites by via a customer access/entitlement right profile stored in the HDT. Such a profile can be maintained as a database of MAC addresses assigned to certain rights. To have programming rights, a customer drop must be properly provisioned or authorized by the central office. The HDT is coupled to at least one USAM or BNU located near a customer site via cable 20. As noted previously, a USAM is used in a FTTN type network configuration, while a BNU is used in a FTTC type network configuration. More specifically, a USAM is located near the customer site within 4,000 feet (=1220 m) of a central point of connection network interface device (NID) located at the customer site. A BNU is typically located deeper in the network, such as within 150 feet of the customer building. The USAM or BNU are arranged to operate as a single platform for voice, video, and data signals.
The test equipment 28 of the present invention is arranged as a conventional set top box (STB) modified to have a unique type and subtype value stored therein. This value is used during sign-on procedures and allows the central office to not only identify the STB as a test device, but to identify an individual test unit from a plurality of test devices which may be assigned to a network's service department. The STB includes a conventional remote control unit 29.
Test STB 28 further includes at least one data port such as a 10baseT Ethernet port 30 to allow connection to personal computer 36, and at least one MPEG2 video decoder port 32 to allow connection to a television/VCR 34. In a preferred embodiment, four or more video ports are provided to allow connection of up to four televisions/VCRs to the network using only a single STB.
In further accordance with the present invention, central office includes a network video test source 38 having suitable MPEG2 encoders for generating a video test signal on at least one video test channel 40, and a network data test source 42 for generating a data test signal on a data test line 44. In a preferred embodiment, at least a second video test channel 46 is provided to allow testing of the ability of the customer drop to forward channel change commands from the STB.
The overall testing process of the present invention will now be described in connection with the flow chart shown in
As indicated at block 104, entitlement to receive the test channels, i.e., the test service handle, could be added to a normal channel line-up sent to a drop/STB connection when such a drop is to be tested. Alternatively, the drop's normal entitlement can be changed to only allow entitlement to the test channels. As further denoted at block 106, such a test service handle would either be removed manually after testing, or automatically after elapse of a predetermined period of time such as two hours. Such entitlement change could involve both video and data test lines.
At block 108, the test STB is connected to the customer drop for appropriate sign-on to the network at block 110. As noted before, the STB equipment type and sub-type value is sent to the central office with the sign-on message, thereby allowing the central office to provision for the drop test profile and authorize access to the test lines. A normal STB serial number, i.e., MAC address, is ignored by the network when the STB sends an appropriate test device type/subtype value in the sign-on request.
Once connected and pre-provisioned, data capability is tested block 112 by a technician launching a program on a PC connected to the STB so as to request transfer of prearranged test data files from the network data test source 42. The program can be arranged in accordance with known programming techniques to measure the time required to receive the file(s) so as to provide verification of the transfer rate. In addition, CRC checking can be performed on data files of known size to identify errors and loss of data. Video quality is tested as denoted at block 114 by viewing the video test signals generated by the network video test source 38 on a standard TV connected to the test STB.
As denoted at block 116, VDSL signaling capability over the drop is tested both from the test STB being able to sign-on to the network, as well as by generating channel change commands for changing between the two test channels. In addition, impulse pay-per-view (IPPV) signaling capability can be tested by generating appropriate IPPV request signaling. The central office could verify receipt of such signaling and update a database accordingly. Alternatively or in combination therewith, the field technician can also note proper drop signaling capability by monitoring the manner in which the network responds to the signal testing.
Referring now to
In addition, a set of test lamps would be provided to display the results of each test. For example, a go-lamp 210 and a fail-lamp 212 can be used to indicate whether a default transfer rate had been measured, and indicator lamps 214 and 216 can be illuminated respectively upon the detection of errors and loss of data. A lamp 218 and 220 can be associated with each video test channel to indicate whether an acceptable signal quality (such as signal-to-noise ratio) has been received. With this embodiment, the test set would be able to perform testing of drop performance without requiring a technician to have a PC or a TV on site. Otherwise, test set 200 is similar to test set 28 and would use the same equipment type and sub-type.
Thus, the present invention provides a VDSL customer drop testing arrangement and equipment which can perform testing without provisioning the drop for receipt of video programming or data services from VIPs or DSPs. In addition, because the test arrangement of the present invention does not require such provisioning, isolation of the customer drop is achieved. Such isolation insures that the test set is not being affected by problems originated from a VIP or DSP.
While the best mode for carrying out the invention has been described in detail, those familiar with the art to which this invention relates will recognize various alternative designs and embodiments for practicing the invention as defined by the following claims.

Buss: Cumulative experiences
In the movie "Best in Show" this '90s yuppie couple is talking to an unseen interviewer about how they met. It reminded me that there are actually two distinct kinds of coffee shops in today's world. One can best be explained by how the yuppies met.
Hamilton Swan was sitting in his Starbucks on one side of a quaint downtown cobble stoned square toying with his laptop. "I glanced across the street," he said, turning to his future bride, "and there she was, sitting in her Starbucks leafing through an L. L. Bean catalog. Remember honey?" The future Meg Swan smiles through her braces and nods vigorously. "You came over, sat down across from me and ordered a Grande espresso. I thought that was so sexy."
Every time I go to the big cities I always make Barnes & Noble a stop. I pick up a couple of promising books to thumb through, and stand in the Starbucks' line for a cup of coffee. A tall is small. A Grande is medium and a Venti is titanic.
Typically, I fall in behind a knobby-kneed guy in wrinkled shorts and sandals who is ordering a caffe latte, with an extra shot of espresso and milk steamed to precisely 122 degrees. Walking away with my simple Grande black, I hear the lady behind me ordering some version of a caffeine-laced banana split.
I sit down at a table with my books and drink. "Sandals" takes a corner cubicle, dons his ear buds, opens his laptop and proceeds to write something like maybe the greatest screenplay ever produced. When I'm headed toward DFW, I'll drive through our Starbucks and get a cup for the road. Good coffee. However, when I return home, I fall back into a comfort zone, with fellows of like minds and brews like mamas and good mess sergeants used to make.
Here in Big Town we have several notable haunts. On most mornings such places are where you will see a gathering of men. They come in all ages, but the vast majority falls in the ranks of graybeards, or as legendary golf teacher Harvey Penick liked to say — seasoned citizens.
As a kid I used to wonder what kinds of conversations went around such tables. Now I know because I belong to this time-honored fraternity. Once a month I meet 10 or 12 old high school mates for breakfast. I would say it is more than reminiscing and comparing bum knees and liver spots. We represent the modern "older" generation.
We have iPads and smartphones. Sometimes it just takes three or four working together to download a weather map on someone's phone. We can calculate the calories in two flapjacks versus a Caramel Frappuccino. Our collective minds are as inquisitive as were seniors 50 years ago.
Our elder wanted to know the best barbers in town. We want to know if the term "barber" is used anymore, and when was the last time someone saw a barber pole. Our elders complained about the cost of a call from a pay phone boot going up from 15 cents to a quarter. We wonder if a phone booth exists outside of a museum. To which someone has the philosophical notion in believing that all the old phone booths have quietly moved to a peaceful valley where calls are free and there are no party lines.
By the way, did you know that the original red and white barber pole indicated not only a place where you could get your haircut but a tooth pulled at the same time? The early barber was linked to medicine. I'm not sure you could settle into a chair and order up a flattop and an appendectomy, but the two crafts did go hand-in-hand.
If you are a kid and think this is all just a foolish waste of time, I hope you are lucky enough to live it because you will love it.

My previous
writings were
mostly teoretical, so I wanted to give a more practical example, showing
the actual state of the current code. I also wanted to show how I have tried
to make the feature fit well into the existing replication features, without
requiring the user to enable lots of options or understand lots of
restrictions before being able to use it.
So let us start! We will build the code from
lp:~maria-captains/maria/10.0-mdev26, which at the
time of writing is at revision
First, we start a master server on port 3310 and put a bit of data into it:
server1> use test;
server1> create table t1 (a int primary key, b int) engine=innodb;
server1> insert into t1 values (1,1);
server1> insert into t1 values (2,1);
server1> insert into t1 values (3,1);
bash$ mysqldump --master-data=2 --single-transaction -uroot test > /tmp/dump.sql
--master-data=2 --single-transaction
bash$ grep "CHANGE MASTER" /tmp/dump.sql
-- CHANGE MASTER TO MASTER_LOG_FILE='master-bin.000001', MASTER_LOG_POS=910;
server1> insert into t1 values (4,2);
server1> insert into t1 values (5,2);
bash$ mysql -uroot test < /tmp/dump.sql
server2> change master to master_host='127.0.0.1', master_port=3310,
master_user='root', master_log_file='master-bin.000001', master_log_pos=910;
server2> start slave;
server2> select * from t1;
| a | b |
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 1 |
| 3 | 1 |
| 4 | 2 |
| 5 | 2 |
5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
server2> stop slave;
server2> insert into t1 values (6,3);
server1> change master to master_host='127.0.0.1', master_port=3311,
master_user='root', master_gtid_pos=auto;
server1> start slave;
server1> select * from t1;
| a | b |
| 1 | 1 |
| 2 | 1 |
| 3 | 1 |
| 4 | 2 |
| 5 | 2 |
| 6 | 3 |
6 rows in set (0.01 sec)
So that is it! A short post from me for once, but that is the whole
point. Replication with MariaDB Global Transaction ID works much as it always
did. The only new thing here is when we issue the CHANGE MASTER
to make the old master a slave of the new master. We do not have to manually
try to compute or guess the correct binlog position on the new master, we can
just specify MASTER_GTID_POS=AUTO and the servers figure out the
rest for themselves.
I hope I managed to show more concretely my ideas with MariaDB Global
Transaction ID. Comments and questions are most welcome, as always. Everything
above is actual commands that work on the current code on
Launchpad. Everything else may or may not work yet, as this is work in
progress, just so you know!

Tallahassee HotelsWith Southern charm flowing down every street and the perfume of flowers from its stunning parks carried on the breeze, the historical city of Tallahassee offers a refreshing contrast to Florida's resorts and amusement parks. Sugar white beaches, lapped by gorgeous azul waters, are just an hour's drive away, while natural beauty spots like Lake Talquin also conveniently orbit the city. The 2 universities maintain a steady influx of youth to the city, ensuring it constantly renews and refreshes – and that there's always a lively buzz on the streets as night descends. Things to seeAs the county seat of Leon County, Tallahassee is the region's political heart, and the new Capitol Building is a tall, modern building that rises proudly from the ground. Peek into the democratic process from viewing areas, or head up to the 22nd floor, where you'll find some of the best views of Tallahassee available - and can see as far as the Gulf of Mexico on a clear day. If you look directly down from the viewing area, you'll spot an umbrella of glass belonging to the Old Capitol Building - which sits just in front of the new one. Now a museum, the grand building has been fully restored to its condition in 1902, and provides a fascinating contrast to its modern equivalent. Tallahassee's a beautiful place and, in full bloom, with colorful birds singing from the trees, a walk through Alfred B. Maclay Gardens State Park is sheer bliss. Pink camellias dot the grass, while intriguing wooden walkways tunnel between the branches and bushes. Whether you're using a cell phone or a professional camera, you won't struggle to capture the explosion of color reflected in the park's lily-covered lake, which is neatly framed by a leafy archway. Make sure you've charged your batteries, because you'll need your camera again to snap St. Marks Lighthouse, which climbs dramatically from craggy rocks - where fiddler crabs scuttle.Hotels in TallahasseeFill up your champagne glass and soak in one of the deepest baths you've ever seen, in a top quality Tallahassee hotel room. You'll want to make the most of Florida's sun while you're here and, fortunately, this couldn't be easier thanks to the ocean-like swimming pools, and cushioned sunbeds, many of the hotels can indulge you with. Mid-range hotels keep you in touch with home for free using in-room WiFi, while you'll also have tea and coffee making facilities, and a flat-screen TV available, for any morning lie ins. With 6,000 rooms available in the city, it's fair to say there's plenty of choice in Tallahassee. Where to stayRelax in the evening with a quiet drink in a friendly bar after devouring seared scallops, and the juiciest jumbo shrimps you've ever tried. A Tallahassee hotel also gives you a great base from which to explore the natural reserve of Wakulla Springs. You can look into the blue depths of the park's spring from a glass bottomed boat, or bathe in its cool waters – floating above a vast network of underground caves. Stay within the marked boundaries though - scaly alligators patrol the park's waters outside these areas. How to get to TallahasseeThe city is served by Tallahassee Regional Airport, which takes flights from several US providers. Hotel shuttles, and public busses, can transport you and your luggage downtown in around 15 minutes from the terminal. International visitors will need to land at Orlando International Airport, before renting a car and making the 4 hour trip north. Or, it's possible to drive over from Jacksonville in around 2.5 hours.

"Sam Burgess faces fight for World Cup place," says England head coach Stuart Lancaster
Posted: February 17, 2014|
England coach Stuart Lancaster says Sam Burgess will have to fight for a place in the national side following his decision to leave rugby league and join Bath Rugby.
The 25-year-old has agreed a three-year deal at The Rec and will leave South Sydney Rabbitohs at the end of the current Australian NRL season in October.
Burgess, who is expected to be deployed as a centre, is keen to play in the 2015 World Cup but will arrive just a year before the tournament begins.
Despite his proven pedigree in rugby league, Lancaster says his union international selection is not assured.

Players past and present have their say on Bath Rugby's Sam Burgess signing
Lancaster said: "It's going to be a challenge.
"You may go into a World Cup with three or four centres and if he was to play in that position he'll have to fight.
"I think his ambition is not just for the 2015 World Cup. I think it's for the 2016 Six Nations, for the Australia tour in 2016 and I'm sure, knowing Sam, the British Lions tour in 2017. So I don't think he's done it for the short term, albeit the short-term goal is the World Cup.
"If he arrives in November he'll have to start learning the game during the course of that 2015 season, so Six Nations [that year] would be a real push, I would suggest.
"If he's done enough to make a World Cup training squad then clearly we would want to have a look at him but, first and foremost, I think he needs to go to Bath and play the game.
"He's a great rugby league player – world class. While I'm sure the transition will take some time, long-term for Bath it's a fantastic signing. And perhaps for England – but we'll have to wait and see."
Bath have reportedly paid £270,000 ($500,000 Australian) to release Burgess from his Rabbitohs contract two years early.
Lancaster, however, today confirmed that the RFU might could also have a financial involvement in the player.
"I think there are discussions ongoing still," said Lancaster.
"There have been none over the actual move itself. It has all drifted above my head, but I think there are discussions ongoing."

LOS ANGELES — Dick Van Dyke is seeing doctors for an undiagnosed health problem, and he's seeking advice online, as well.
"My head bangs every time I lay down," the 87-year-old actor posted on his Twitter account. "I've had every test come back that I'm perfectly healthy. Anybody got any ideas?"
Bob Palmer, a spokesman for Van Dyke, said Thursday that he's undergoing tests for "cranial throbbing" that's causing him to lose sleep. The sensation occurs when Van Dyke lies down, and scans and other tests have yet to yield a diagnosis, Palmer said.
Van Dyke drew a number of responses to his tweet for help Wednesday, including questions about what's been done so far for the problem he described as stubborn.
"It has been going on for 7 years. I've had every test you can think of," he replied, including an MRI and spinal tap.
Van Dyke has a strong constitution and is otherwise OK, but the "fatigue factor has become acute," Palmer said. Until he receives a diagnosis and treatment plan he's been advised not to fly, and is resting at his Malibu home.
He was to accept an award next week from New York's 92nd Street Y but canceled the trip.
Van Dyke's credits include "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and "Diagnosis Murder."

Oh man
Oh man
I am hoping that gets us above an 8 seed. While we showed tonight we can beat a #1, I feel ok going into a game against a #2 or #3 that we can truly compete with them even if they show up with their A game. I don't know that I feel that way about a Syracuse/Kentucky type of team.
Great win. Let's get another one tomorrow.
Playing with house money for this point.
What is with those striped shorts?
Choo got it, dude.

I'd rather lose tonight. I would hate going into the tournament with a big target on our backs because we never seem to play as well when we're expected to win.
Let's also give it up for Mick. Great coaching job yesterday...
Still cannot believe we won that game. Just an incredible job of coaching by Mick this year, he's so underrated in this town. I loved his gameplan last night, the zone was gonna force Syracuse to shoot to beat us, and in the end it worked. We have also been outstanding out of timeouts in this tournament.
Also, I'm really happy for Gates.
I love the fact that a UC-UofL matchup is cheesing all those Eastern folks' grits.
When all is said and done more is said than done.
Lunardi still has the Bearcats as a #8 seed heading into the game tonight against Louisville.
Think of it this way, UCONN came into the Big East Tournament last year as a #9 and left as a #3. UC goes on a similar run (albeit it with the double-bye) and only comes out as an #8?
What if this wasn't a rhetorical question?

Picture: James Franco Los Angeles Premiere of 127 Hours at the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Samuel Goldwyn Theater Los Angeles, California - 03.11.10
James Franco, the 32-year-old American actor and star of the 'Spiderman' movies, will co-host the 2011 Oscars with actress Anne Hathaway, reports Hello Magazine. The pair will take over from last year's hosts Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin, who were praised for their performances at the film industry's biggest night.
Hathaway will be youngest host of the awards since Goldie Hawn took the reins in 1975, at the age of 29. Producers of the show, Bruce Cohen and DON MISCHER spoke about their somewhat surprising choice of hosts for the forthcoming ceremony, saying, "They personify the next generation of Hollywood icons - fresh, exciting and multi-talented. We hope to create an Oscar broadcast that will both showcase their incredible talents and entertain the world on February 27".
Franco is currently starring in Danny Boyle's action adventure movie '127 Hours' about a trapped mountaineer, while Hathaway stars alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in the forthcoming movie 'Love and Other Drugs' about a 'free spirit' who starts an unlikely relationship with a pharmaceutical salesman. The 83rd Academy Awards is set to be the most anticipated ceremony for years with the likes of 'Inception', 'The Social Network', 'Black Swan', and 'True Grit' all vying for the top awards.

In wow you can just play normally and youll always have good quests to do with nice rewards. In EQ2 you must search for them or go through internet sites and forums to know where they are...

its actually one of the worst and most boring mmorpgs that I have played.. even korean mmorpg where there is almost just grinding are more fun and exciting than eq2
1) Floating leafs, lighting, butterflys, etc etc. In the new zones... I've never seen a MMORPG with more life. You're one of those idiots that talk about 2004 EQ2 (not 2007 EQ2) like they have a clue what's going one - either using memories from two years ago or quoting other people.
2) "clear path" - that sentence doesn't even make sense.
3) There are 3 major cities, not two and a 4th is on the way.
4) There are more quests in EQ2 than WoW
5) So the quests that result in the best items and such - you're saying they have flashing neon signs in WoW but in EQ2 you just wrongly have to figure it out for yourself (LOL - even that doesn't make sense).
