2011 Review - News & Featured Releases
|Here we go again! The review of 2011. Again an eventful year with so many great records and so many amazing events we were stoked to be involved with!
After the inevitable hang-over of Christmas and New Year it took a while for the best of the month's releases to come through. But that they did. Lemuria, The Hot Water Music / Bouncing Souls split and Funeral Party all sold well for us, but the biggist album of January for us came out on the 31st and was a beaut from Chapel Club. This tied in with a great release show at New Slang, and of the 4 shows they've played for us this was by far the best. That gig also saw the first ever show anywhere from London band The History Of Apple Pie. New Slang was pretty solid throughout the month with Stagecoach, British Sea Power and Young Knives all headlining there. Probably the gig of the month though was the one off Dave House vs Dave Hause at The Fighting Cocks. The Banquet and Loved Ones acoustic punks were also joined by Frank Turner and the video below was our most viewed show vid of 2011.
/ Hot Water...
Golden Age...
Two of the year's cross genre slow burners were released in February. Gil Scott Heron and Jamie XX's collaboration, and the James Blake full length both won over fans from the guitar and post-dub step worlds. Last year's snowed off Futureheads gig finally took place at New Slang, and we also saw headline shows from Man Like Me, Frankie And The Heartstrings and The Skints there. We were very happy to put on GROUPLOVE's first ever UK show in February, and Twin Atlantic showed what a great year they were about to have with a sellout show at The Peel. but the month's gig highlights were from the punk world. Our friends The Wonder Years sold out The Peel, and gig of the month was surely from Four Year Strong who we somehow convinced to play the tiny confines of The Fighting Cocks. The gig, which sold out in 11 seconds, caused us all sorts of ebay ticketing issues, but in the end we got there, and FYS played 'Rise Or Die Trying' in its entirety at a super hot show!

March saw the return of indie mainstayers such as Radiohead, The Strokes, Noah And The Whale and The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart plus debut albums from best of the year contenders such as Naked And Famous and The Vaccines. The punk world gave us the Dave Hause album, another from Teenage Bottlerocket and the return of Rival Schools. We had some great instores in March from the likes of Cage The Elephant, Sucioperro, Morning Parade and the first of three gigs this year from Dry The River. New Slang's highlight was surely New Sláinte as St Patrick's night fell on a Thursday and The Lagan gave us such a great party! Worldwide, March 2011 will probably be remembered for the Japan earthquake and tsunami. New Slang hastily arranged a fund-raiser and with the help of Kingston bands and music fans we raised £2400 towards the relief effort.

April is the month of Record Store Day, and that dominated the month and maybe even longer. The busiest day in this shop's twisted 35 year history, we made a documentary of the day (shown below) which is worth 5 minutes of your time. A lot of hard work was repaid by an amazing amount of love for our shop and for records in general. The queue started at 3am and, well, the video explains a lot more. Its great to see so many people excited by records and a lot of old friends returned to us following this.

Many a fine album in May. Albums from friends of the shop The Computers, Twin Atlantic, Fireworks, Title Fight and Pete And The Pirates who put out a long overdue second album. Communion Records documented just how great they are for the London folk scene, and Cloud Control became one of our new fave bands. Instores and release shows happend from Twin Atlantic, Oxygen Thief, Cloud Control and Treetop Flyers, whilst The Peel sang along to a sold out Mayday Parade gig, and a real special show from Banquet label band Iron Chic. Frank Turner sold out his New Slang show and we've been delighted to see his continued rise throughout this year!

Well, there you have it. So much has happened in 2011. We're open 363 days a year, and have sold tens of thousands of records by thousands of bands, artists and producers. We've received 45,000 mail orders, and from instores to two people to selling out the Hippodrome we've put on 175 shows and approximately 160 club nights, We've seen heard some amazing music and seen some amazing bands.
Sincere thanks to Mike, Jane, Dave, Sheby, Gary and Simon who are my best friends in the world; who hear (all too much) about the bad things and never really get enough praise for all the good things. Thanks of course to all the staff, those mentioned above, and of course Salty, Piers, Tom, Ollie, Max, Harry, Sean Leery, Tall Dave, Matt Hesselworth and Oscar. This year we said goodbye to Dave, Aaron, Adam Baylis, John Malcom-More, Katie Malco but have welcomed Chris Ousley, Claire, Jamie Bucks, Nu Aaron, Colleen, Livvy, Josh, and Shannon to the gang,. Thanks to the agents, the venue managers / owners and the people at the distros and labels whose work is rarely on the customers' radar,
But mostly, thanks to you, our customers, for bringing the fun and paying the bills and enabling Banquet do what we do. Thanks to anyone who's bought a record, come to a show, shared a post, retweeted a link, handed out a flyer, lent us gear, gave us advice, and helpled us in anyway. We KNOW we're super lucky to be doing this, and we dont take any customers for granted. Nice one! We'll see you for a busy 2012!

Hey SCO, Sue Me!
from the sue-me!--sue-me! dept
As SCO continues with their ridiculous plan to antagonize everyone they can possibly think of, some Linux-geeks have come up with an amusing way to protest. They're putting together a petition of Linux users, and telling SCO to go ahead and sue them. Earlier this week, of course, SCO made a lot of news for sending letters to large Linux-using corporations telling them they're liable for any intellectual property infringement in the copies of Linux they use. The petition states, in response, "I am a Linux user. I feel that SCO's tactics toward an operating system of my choice are unjust, ill founded and bizarre. I am willing to be sued because I am confident that SCO's tactics toward Linux will fail. If I have published my email address as part of this petition it is so SCO representatives can email me and begin the process of serving me a court order." Feel free to sign the petition yourself.

Golf: Wyckoff's Leo Lee impressive at N.J. Junior Championship
UNION – Leo Lee's parents signed him up for his first New Jersey Junior Championship and he's off to a sensational start.
The Wyckoff resident and incoming senior at Ramapo High earned the No. 1 seed for match play that starts today after shooting 2-under 69 at Suburban Golf Club to earn co-medalist at Tuesday's stroke-play qualifier.
Lee, who plays out of Darlington, shared medalist with Vincent Palazzolo of Colts Neck thanks to a new 3-iron he used 11 or 12 times and said, "I was striping it down the fairway."
Bergen County made a stellar showing at this 93rd New Jersey State Golf Association Junior, with six players making the cut to this morning's 16-player match play. It's for those 18 and under who have yet to attend college, and concludes Thursday.
The 44th Boys Championship, for ages 15 and under, was held simultaneously, and five Bergen residents advanced. Paramus' Jimmy Criscione also earned co-medalist and a No. 1 seed after shooting 69.
Criscione was among a quintet who played for Bergen Catholic's Tournament of Champions title team who advanced in either the Junior or Boys.
In the Junior, Lee was a huge surprise. He had four birdies and two bogeys on the 6,417-yard layout. He will face River Vale's Brendon Kim, an incoming senior at Bergen Catholic, who shot 74 and survived a three-way playoff for the final two spots with a par on the first playoff hole.
"I would like to win a match and see how it goes," said Lee, 17. "If I don't, it's going to be a lesson for me to work even harder."
Haworth's Thomas La Morte, 18, this year's TOC runner-up as a senior at Demarest, is the No. 5 seed after shooting 70.
"It wasn't a very good day," said La Morte, who had seven birdies and six bogeys and struggled with his irons. "But I'm happy that I made it, so no complaints."
Haworth's Erick Alonso, 18, shot 71 for the eighth seed. Alonso will face last year's runner-up and a fellow Bergen Catholic graduate, Glen Rock's Zach Egermayer, 18, who shot 71 and is No. 9. Tenafly graduate Kwanwoo Kim shot 73 and is 14th.
In the Boys, Criscione earned the No. 1 seed thanks to five birdies and three bogeys on the 6,140-yard layout.
"My irons and wedges were on," Criscione said.
The rising sophomore birdied holes 10, 11 and 12, with a 20-foot putt on the 10th, an 8-footer on the 11th, and he hit a wedge on the 12th to within a foot.
Wyckoff's George Cultraro, a junior at BC, shot 72 to earn the fourth seed, and Ridgewood's John Driscoll III earned the fifth seed with 75. Saddle River's Spencer Shih, a sophomore at Northern Highlands, shot 84 and is 15th. Tyler Senior, who shot 84 and is 16th, faces Criscione.

The INPADOC (INternational PAtent DOCumentation) Centre was founded in 1974 by an agreement between the Austrian Patent Office and the World Patent Organization. The purpose of the company was to provide a number of patent information services, but most importantly to collect and document patent families. The company was incorporated into the European Patent Office in 1989, which continued its data production services and continued licensing the data to commercial providers.[1] Now INPADOC is part of the European Patent Office's European Patent Information and Documentation Systems Directorate (EPIDOS).
In 2007, the EPO finished a project to combine its own master bibliographic file (DOCDB) with the INPADOC records, extending the length of the database's coverage. Before the merger, the coverage of the INPADOC file extended back to around 1968 at the earliest, for some countries. The new DOCDB XML file added about 14 million more records to the file, and substantially lengthened the coverage of some authorities back to the 1800s. Currently 95 patenting authorities are covered by INPADOC (as of 2012 - check coverage information for the current number of countries covered).[2]
The timeliness of updates in the INPADOC/DOCDB database is totally dependent upon the national patent offices, which may not provide updates on a regular schedule. However, publications from major patenting authorities should appear in the database after a maximum of 4-6 weeks, with data from many countries available within days of publication (this timeframe from Adams, 2006).[3]
Although INPADOC contains English-language abstracts for some publications, these are provided by the originating patent offices and are not produced by the EPO itself. The EPO does not offer advanced translation services for English abstracts, nor does it offer other value-added content such as the special indexing available in Thomson Reuter's Derwent World Patents Index; however, the INPADOC file remains a highly valued source of data due to the sheer number of authorities represented, as well as the timely updates and valuable legal status information from multiple authorities.
To obtain current documentation of the contents of the INPADOC bibliographic and legal status files, see the instructions in Downloading INPADOC Coverage.
Major Recent Updates
January 2013
According to an email from an EPO representative:[4]
The expressions "PRS" and "PFS" need to be removed from many EPO systems. The products that were bearing these names in the past have changed and these words have become obsolete.
Some of you have automated the retrieval and processing of these tables. Therefore, we would like to inform you that the DOCDB and Legal Status statistics on the EPO website in the section "Useful tables and statistics" will no longer have document names "PRS_YYWW" or "PFS_YYWW" as of week 6/2013. The tables will be renamed to "DOCDB_YYWW" and "LS_YYWW" as of Thursday 07 February 2013.
Please note that "PRS Date" and "PRS Code" will be removed from the Legal Status section in Espacenet in due course.
September 2011
The 40th week of DOCDB 2011 is scheduled to include a second phase of the JP rekey exercise, according to the EPO Patent Data Services Team:[5]
1. part: The bulk of this rekey will affect the remaining JP publication numbers (prior to 2000) where the Japanese T-kind code publications will be rekeyed to A kind code.
The sequence numbers of the publications prior to 2000 will also be re-formatted in the operation as detailed in the following algorithm :
ex : JP 1500001 T will become JP H01500001 A as the application sequence number is 50223387
2. part: At the same time we will take the opportunity to include another small rekey into this operation regarding the JP-U and JP-T1 publications therefore please find enclosed the updated algorithm:
February 2011
From week 7/2011, Slovakian legal status events from January 2010 onwards will be available in the PRS database.[6]
January 2011
As of week 3/2011, cited references of approximately 650,000 JP-A publications will be made available in DOCDB. In week 4/2011, cited references for a similar number of JP-U publications will also be made available. [7]
As of week 2/2011, the EPO will start including Colombian (CO) legal status data into the INPADOC legal status file. The collection will extend back to records from 2003.
For more information, see the EPO news item at http://www.epo.org/patents/updates/2010/20101209a.html
May 2010
The EPO announced that US assignment data will now be available in INPADOC one week after the data is available in the USPTO's assignment databases. The following excerpt from the EPO's news bulletin explains the former procedure and how it has been improved.
- Until now, US assignment data was captured from the bi-monthly DVDs and processed by means of a lengthy procedure resulting in a further delay. From week 22/2010 onwards, the data will be captured one week after their updates in the weekly US assignment database. These weekly updates will commence with data from February 2010 onwards (week 5/2010). [8]
More information is available from the EPO news updates page at http://www.epo.org/patents/updates/2010/20100520.html, and from a posting on the Patent Librarian's Notebook blog, at http://patentlibrarian.blogspot.com/2010/05/us-assignment-data-in-inpadoc.html
The EPO had stated that it plans to add Bolivian (BO) data into its bibliographic data file by the end of 2009.[9] Note: As of May 2010, this addition had not taken place.
October 2009
In October 2009, the EPO announced that Polish legal status data is now available in the INPADOC PRS database. According to the EPO, "only front file data from 2007 onwards will be available."[10]
August 2009
In August of 2009, the EPO announced that data from Colombia (CO) will be included in its bibliographic data file from the week of August 10 (week 33/2009). When introduced, the data collection extended back to 1995 at the earliest, and included the following document types: [11]
- A (Patent application for a patent of invention)
- B (Patent of invention)
- U (Utility model application)
- Y (Utility model)
- S (Industrial design application)
- S1 (Industrial design)
July 2009
In July of 2009, legal status information for Russian (RU) patents and utility models was added to the INPADOC legal status (PRS) file. Patents and utility models from the Soviet Union which are still valid in Russia will be included. [12]
June 2009
In June of 2009, the EPO announced that it would begin to offer data from the Dominican Republic (DO) in its bibliographic file. When introduced, the collection extended back to 2002, and up to 2007. It included the following document types: [13]
- A (Patent application for a patent of invention)
- B (Patent of invention)
- U (Utility model application)
- Y (Utility model)
- S (Industrial design application)
- S1 (Industrial design)
May 2009
In May of 2009, Chinese legal status data was added to the INPADOC PRS (legal status) file.[14]
Early 2009
In late 2008 and early 2009, the European Patent Office enhanced the bibliographic content of the INPADOC PFS (bibliographic) file with feeds from Latin American countries, with new feeds from Chile (CL,) Costa Rica (CR), Cuba (CU), Ecuador (EC), El Salvador (SV), Nicaragua (NI), Panama (PA), and Peru (PE).[15][16]
Patent Family Data in INPADOC
INPADOC patent families were first produced at a time when patent family information was scarce and hard to obtain. Perhaps because of this, the service based its patent family definitions on the broadest basis possible, requiring only that a new family member had to share at least one priority document with at least one other patent in the family – an "extended" patent family. Typically, referring to a document's "INPADOC" patent family today means its extended patent family. This is a much broader family structure than Derwent patent families.
Because the INPADOC/DOCDB database is available to commercial patent information providers, it is the basis for many patent family files hosted by various database producers. Although they may claim to rely on multiple sources, and apply various patent family algorithms to the raw data, DOCDB XML is the backbone of almost every commercially available patent family database.
The patent search software, Minesoft PatBase, uses INPADOC patent families to group results. See the PatBase article for more details.
Note: Also see the Definitions of Patent Families article for more information on INPADOC/DOCDB and associated patent family data.
Legal Status Data in INPADOC
INPADOC is well known as a source of legal status data for patents and patent applications from around the world. Legal status data contains information concerning changes to the legal status of patents and patent applications. Status updates for an application as well as its family members are presented, both before and after a patent is granted.
Legal status actions were provided in INPADOC for 54 patenting authorities as of October 2008, (for patents in 39 countries + the national phases for PCT/EP documents in 15 countries) and include the patent number, the gazette date announcing the action, the legal status code, the equivalent text description, and the week in which the action was added to the database.[17] To determine the current coverage of the INPADOC legal status file, please see Downloading INPADOC Coverage for instructions on how to obtain the latest summary spreadsheet from the EPO.
INPADOC's compilation of legal status data from around the world is highly valued in the patent information community.
Some Major Sources of INPADOC/DOCBD data include:
- EPO esp@cenet
- PatBase
- Questel Orbit: QPAT; QWeb; and Questel on Imagination
- Dialog
- Delphion
- Thomson Innovation
- LexisNexis TotalPatent

The Los Angeles Lakers have arguably the best starting lineup and bench in the NBA.
Add in the fact they have won the last two championships, and it is safe to say the Lakers' rotation is set in stone, as all the players know their roles and responsibilities.
However, there are few small changes the Lakers could make that would improve their chances even more of winning three straight championships.

Owner of boat that sank in Columbia River charged
The state attorney general's office is prosecuting the owner of a 41-foot fishing boat that sank in the Columbia River last July near Finley, spilling about 50 gallons of diesel fuel.
The Tri-City Herald reports misdemeanor charges of abandoning a derelict vessel and releasing pollutants were filed Tuesday in Benton County District Court.
Assistant Attorney General Josh Choate says the state hopes to recover the $100,000 it cost to remove the boat.
Attorney General Bob Ferguson says he's helping local prosecutors crack down on environmental crime. The state filed charges last month against two derelict boat owners in Western Washington.

Tuesday crash updated
- Written by THE BELLEFONTAINE EXAMINER STAFF
Martin D. Douglas, 25, of Kenton, was cited for failure to maintain assured clear distance ahead following a crash about 8 a.m. Tuesday morning in the 4600 block of north U.S. Route 68, deputies of the Logan County Sheriff's Office report.
A Tuesday crash injured one driver and damaged three vehicles in the 4600 block of north U.S. Route 68. (EXAMINER PHOTO | NATE SMITH)
Mr. Douglas was southbound on U.S. 68 and his auto struck the rear of a southbound sport utility vehicle operated by Amie M. Teeters, 32, of Fremont, which had slowed for deer crossing the road. The force of the crash propelled the Teeters vehicle into the northbound lane where it was struck by a northbound pickup truck operated by Luke M. Jolliff, 33, of East Liberty, and came to rest in a ditch.
All vehicles were heavily damaged. Mr. Douglas sustained non-incapacitating injuries, but was not transported. The other two drivers were not injured. All drivers used seatbelts, deputies reported.

The weed problem in Portales is growing out of control, according to police and residents.
Portales Police Deputy Chief Lonnie Berry said 87 notices were given out to property owners in July who were in violation of the city's nuisance ordinance.
Of those notices, Berry said, 61 complied and cleaned up their property, five got an extension, and three got a lien put on their property since the city had to mow the weeds.
Berry said police dispatch receives about 15 to 20 complaints per week about weeds, and only has one code enforcement officer to handle them. Police service aides help with hanging notices, he said, but cannot write citations.
"If there's one house on a block (that's in violation), there might be five or six calls from different people about that one house," Berry said.
The city's nuisance ordinance says weeds can't be more than 10 inches tall. Once a resident is notified that they are in violation, they have 14 days to comply.
If the resident doesn't comply, then the city will mow it, and tack on all related costs to the property's water bill, plus an additional $200.
The charges must be paid to continue getting city water and sewer service.
"Our biggest problem right now is not so much people who live here, it's houses that are vacant or in foreclosure. Were trying to find out who exactly is responsible and who can get those cleaned up," Berry said.
That's the problem one neighborhood is facing with a vacant home on the 2000 block of Aspen Street.
Vangie Encinias said she and her neighbors have been taking turns mowing the weeds at the vacant home for the past three years, since it became vacant.
"We have not had any luck with whoever has the lien on the house," Encinias said, adding her neighbor, 88-year-old Velma Gardner mowed the vacant home's weeds Wednesday morning.
"It's one heck of a mess," Gardner said, "The bank says they have a contract for someone to clean it up, then they're going to sell it. But so far, they haven't."

Five boys and a girl will represent the Badgers and Lady Badgers at the State Track and Field Meet in Austin on May 10-11. The boys' team finished the Region IV-2A Meet Saturday 2nd overall to East Bernard and just ahead of Rice Consolidated.
"This has been a very successful season with many records broken and tons of improvement on times and distances," Coach Donnie Dziuk said. "These kids work hard – boys and girls – and earned every honor they received."
The Sprint Relay team of Philip Vaughan, Paul Kinney, Dontrell "D.T" Lyons and Kenneth "K.D." Glenn beat their own school record, improving to a new time of 42.52, to take the Regional championship. The same boys also won the 800 M. Relay.
But the meet was bittersweet for Vaughan, a senior, who had the lead but fell on a hurdle during the 110 M. Hurdles. Vaughan placed 1st during the Regional Qualifiers Meet a week before.
"Philip's unfortunate crash was devastating," Dziuk said. "He works hard on the hurdles, and I know he would have done well at State. It really hurts that the best hurdler in this region is not moving on."
Boys Results:
400 M Relay: Philip Vaughan, Paul Kinney, Dontrell Lyons, Kenneth Glenn, 1st **School Record 42.52**
800 M Relay: Philip Vaughan, Paul Kinney, Kenneth Glenn, Dontrell Lyons, 1st
200 M Dash: Dontrell Lyons, 1st Paul Kinney, 3rd
Pole Vault: Garrett Willett, 2nd
400 M Dash: Katy Gotthardt, 2nd
Also competing at the Regional Meet were Zack Pawelek at Shot, Kinney at Triple Jump, Lyons at Long Jump, Dylan Wright at the 300 M. Hurdles, Collin Lybarger in the 400 M. Run, Patricia Lara in the 400 M. Run, Jordan Garcez at the 800 M. Run and the Lady Badgers' 800 M. Relay team of JuliAnn Chesser, Caley Jackson, Alex Benavides and Gotthardt.
"This year's underclassmen have had success as well, and I believe they will be successful in the future," Dziuk said. "They have some big shoes to fill."

Train Your Memory And Learn Better
Your driver's exam. Next week's history quiz. Those groceries your room told you to pick up at the store. The SAT. Can your memory handle everything that's on your mind?
Let's face it: Most of us don't have perfect memories. We all forget things, whether it's something harmless, like what you wore to school last Monday, or something more important, like the information you need to pass a test.
Your memory could be practically photographic, or it could be as bad as Drew Barrymore's in 50 First Dates. And you don't have to be Supergirl to have good memory. Either way, you probably wouldn't mind improving your powers of recollection. Fortunately, your brain will let you do just that.

"Fiction is something that fiddles with the head and with the heart and it bridges the gap of understanding someone else's experience - and understanding them through access to that experience. Fiction is a fundamental shared humanity."
So says Anna Funder, this year's winner of Australia's most prestigious literary award, the Miles Franklin Award, which carries a $50,000 prize.
All That I Am is Funder's debut novel and is a fictionalised account of true events about a group of people who resisted the rise of Hitler's Third Reich and it's throttling of Germany's intellectuals. It tells a moving and chilling tale of how far the Gestapo was prepared to go to eliminate opponents of National Socialism. The historic detail of this book that moves across place and time has been a surprise to many, as it has brought to light hitherto unexplored Nazi activities in Britain prior to the declaration of war in 1939.
On the phone from Norwich, England, at the end of speaking to the world's press almost non-stop, Funder, previously a lawyer specialising in human rights, says she was going "slightly nutty" writing acceptance speeches for award ceremonies she could not attend, but acknowledges winning the Miles Franklin has been overwhelming in its confirmation of her work.
"I am here in Britain and soon going back to Brooklyn, New York, where my family will live for the next three or four years, but meanwhile my life is going on back in Sydney while I am not there," says the author. She then added: "But I feel grateful and I feel relieved. You work a long time on something - this took me five years - so it feels very risky. It's emotionally risky and it is financially risky and you know at times it could easily all fall on its head. You take your family with you on the journey of the work and so when my book came out in September, I was just so frightened . . . all these reviews were coming out and it was horrible - the feeling of vulnerability. But that's gone now."
On the theme of moral courage in All That I Am, Funder comments: "I think it happens in a Darwinian sense that some people recognise that the group is more important than their own wellbeing - so they speak out. They acknowledge there is a line where they believe is a limit of what is good and past this limit things are not good. Then certain people need to speak out because if they don't, they won't morally recognise themselves."
The judges this year acknowledged the ambitious breadth of All That I Am and stated: "(It serves) to remind us that experiences of exile and dislocation have long been part of Australian life."
Funder is also author of the non-fiction bestseller Stasiland, which won the 2004 Samuel Johnson Prize.

|Today is the first day I noticed his name in the credits, does anyone know how long he's been credited as executive producer?
|Sep 22 2008, 04:41 PM Post #2
|He was first credited on September 17.
|Sep 22 2008, 05:49 PM Post #3
|Has the new co-headwriter begun as well?
|Sep 23 2008, 12:47 AM Post #4
how much control do these people have over the current writing? If Tomlin is credited on the 17th, does he support that hideously fake conversation between EJ and Nicole?
Man that shit was painful. :frown:

The scripts are written up to 8 weeks out so Ed Scott was fired mid-August. His FILMED episodes air until mid Sept. The show films a month out. Now, episodes which were already written while he was still Exec. Producer but were NOT yet filmed have begun airing. That is why Tomlin's name is as producer but he has had nothing yet to do with the content.
So, the episode a few of you are referencing, I say that is Dena Higley's work without any clean up which we were used to by Ed Scott. So now we can see without any rose-colored glasses Dena's vision.
Who knows Tomlin's vision. I imagine that is why Whitesell is coming in though is so that Tomlin can get his vision in there without getting the show in trouble in Ed Scott did.
|Sep 23 2008, 12:07 PM Post #7
|Well, an exec producer has abilities to change content so if Tomlin's name is on it he could have something to do with that EJ/Nicole convo or he could of had the ability to rework it if he didn't.
|Sep 23 2008, 12:18 PM Post #8
|Tomlin was included? Was this the NBC credits that someone saw, because I was watching the ending credits last night on SoapNet and they still have Ed Scott listed as Co-Executive Producer.
|Sep 23 2008, 03:27 PM Post #9
I saw Canadian credits for Tuesday and Scott is still listed too. But Monday�s credits taped from NBC already had Gary Tomlin. So who knows. Judging by the content I definitely think this is Tomlin/Higley stuff.
|Sep 23 2008, 06:31 PM Post #10
|Gawd, I hope not, because if he's going along with Higley, we are screwed!
|Sep 23 2008, 06:59 PM Post #11
|Ironically, Tomlin's name still shows up occasionally in the credits as writer for certain OLTL episodes. I think his name showed up just last week.

Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday Results Below
Thursday's play-off games featured three #1 seeded teams with just one loss between them on the season. They did not disappoint, each claiming their respective division title, though they weren't all easily won.
The men's Gray division was dominated by the Wanderers all season, and the play-offs proved no different. The interesting twist here was that #3 Farmer Brown dropped #2 Cantankerous Candirus in their semi-final. But they were no match in the finals, falling to the Wanderers 13-3.
The Men's Red Division had a similar outcome, except that #2 McGladdery held off #3 Babcock Auto, scoring two in the final frame for the 11-10 win. But they were no match for the #1 License Center Team, and fell by a 22-8 tally.
Both of the women's seni-final games ended by ten-run rule, which then pitted #2 Wicked Moose against #1 McGill Construction. This proved to be the most exciting game of the night. Wicked Moose moved out to a commanding 11-4 lead after three innings, but they cooled off after that. McGill picked up the pace from there, going ahead after five. But Moose answered with three in the sixth, but one McGill run kept it tied after six. Moose went silent in the top of the seventh, and then McGill scored the one they needed in the bottom half to claim the title.
All top-seeded teams in the Wednesday Night Men's Division emerged victorious in play-off action last night. In two cases, however, it was the #3 seed knocking off #2 to earn a spot in the respective division finals matchup.
In the Brown Division, Image Smartz rolled to the title with wins over #5 Energy Products and #3 ToBeDetermined (nice name guys!). TBD had ousted #2 Jimmy Johns to get to the finals.
The Green Division went as the seedings would have suggested. #6 JAG Tours was the surprise entry into semis, but they were no match for #2 Justin Schwirtz / Edina Realty, falling 15-1. It was #1 Essig Agency, however, taking easy wins over #4 Virgil's in their semi, and over Schwirtz in the title game.
The White Division saw a a tight semi-final contest between #1 Silver Bullets and #4 Paramark, in which the Bullets escaped with a two-run win. In the other semi, #2 Rochester Toyota was no match for #3 Juiced, falling 10-0.
But Juice ran out of juice in the finals, as the Silver Bullets prevailed on a 17-6 score.
There were some tight games and some blowouts as the Tuesday Men's Leagues battled it out in semi-final and finals action.
In the Tan Division, 5th-seeded Goon Squad gave #1 Roger's Tree / Northwest Liquor a strong challege. Down 8-0 early, Goon Squad fought back to tie the game in the top of the fifth, only to watch Roger's score ten in the bottom half to lock up the win, and their place in the finals.
Wicked Moose soared to big win in their semi, but came out flat against Roger's in the final. But Roger's could only muster a small lead, giving Moose an opportunity to come back. The game went extra innings, with Roger's plating the winner in the bottom of the eighth.
The Orange Division saw Ritch Peterson Electric sail to the title on the winds of two 10-run victories. The closest action occurred in the other semi-final, where Wicked Bombers erased a four-run deficit in the bottom of the seventh, scoring five to take the win away from Pro Stall, moving them into their fateful match-up with RP Electric.
The Blue Division semi-finals went as anticipated, with Excel Homes and Bear's Den cruising to the title tilt with big five-inning wins, setting up the game of the night. In the final contest, led most of the way by Bear's Den, Excel gained momentum through the final innings, eventually claiming a 29-23 win.
Semi-finals and finals were held in three divisions of RSA Co-Rec softball on Monday night. Excitement was high and many of the games were close.
In the White Division, third-seeded Empty Pitchers took down the top two seeds, Multiple Scoregasms and Bad News Beers to claim the title.
In the Red Division, Knaup Endodontics, the #2 seed, had #1 Paramark down 2-0 going into the bottom of the 7th inning. That's when the Paramark bats came to life, scoring the three runs necessary to claim the championship.
The Blue Division saw Wild Bill's breezing to the title game over Colonial, while Rochester Toyota (#2) and BBS (#3) played a tight game that Toyota won in the bottom of the seventh.
The Championship game in this top division proved to be a barn burner. Toyota moved out to a big lead with four 4-run innings, and were one run away from ending the contest in five innings. But Wild Bill's scraped their way back into the game, and scored eight in the bottom of the seventh to tie the game at 18 and take it to extra innings. The eighth and ninth went scoreless. In the tenth, Toyota plated two. Will Bill's matched the two, then scored the winner on a head-first slide at the plate by none other than...
(Free beer to the first person to guess right... just kidding.)
Yes, it was Putzy!

Had he been playing 20 years ago, Rafael Nadal might have skipped Wimbledon. As a clay-court specialist who likes to live on the baseline, hit balls with heavy topspin and retrieve shots with dogged determination, there would have been no point for the No. 1 player in the world to waste his talents and risk his ranking on grass.
Well, the kind of grass that they used to grow at The All-England Club.
These days, the well-manicured lawns are drastically different from the dirt patch that favoured serve-and-volley players such as Pete Sampras and John McEnroe. As a result, there are no clay-court specialists or grass-court specialists who rule on one surface and look totally lost on another.
Clay, grass, hard court, carpet; today, it's basically all the same.
"You used to see the volleyers dominate the grass courts and the baseliners dominate clay and now there are baseliners everywhere because surface is slow," says Daniel Nestor, the Canadian doubles specialist who has won Grand Slam titles at all four major tournaments. "There are hard courts in Montreal and Cincinnati that are faster than playing at Wimbledon and that never used to be the case before. Ever since 2002, it's a totally different surface."
Following the 2001 championship, Wimbledon ripped up all of its courts and sowed new ones made of 100% perennial rye grass. The old courts were a 70-30 split of rye grass and creeping red fescue and caused the baseline area to become one large patch of dirt by the end of the tournament. The change was ostensibly made to make the courts more durable. But because rye grass stands taller and its soil is drier and firmer, the side effect was that the ball now bounced higher and slower.
Grass court specialists, who took advantage of low-skidding approach shots to win point after point at the net, were no longer unbeatable. According to a 2008 Time magazine story, "Goran Ivanisevic beat Pat Rafter in a [2001] Wimbledon final that featured 38 service aces; both players favoured the fast-court tactic of heading to the net to volley. A year later, however, Australian baseline specialist Lleyton Hewitt defeated Argentinian David Nalbandian in a match that featured only seven aces and not a single such serve-and-volley point."
That trend has not stopped. In 2008, 2009 and 2010, the winner of the French Open went on to win Wimbledon two weeks later — a feat that previously only Bjorn Borg had accomplished six different times.
"What Bjorg did was absolutely, truly amazing," says Harry Fauquier, the Tennis Canada Hall of Fame player who now co-owns Tennex Systems Inc., a company that installs tennis courts. "In my day, [going from clay to grass] was so difficult that the really, really good clay-court players wouldn't ever bother coming to Wimbledon because they knew they would lose in the first round.
"A lot of Italian guys would just never go. They'd just humiliate you on clay and you'd never get to do the same on grass. That's all gone. It used to be that if you rifled a ball on the baseline, it was over. Now, it comes up and you can hit it back."
Court pace rating
The International Tennis Federation tests dozens of court surfaces and assigns them a court pace rating between 9 and 72. The rating is derived from an equation that uses the variables of the coefficient of friction and the coefficient of restitution of a court surface. There are five classifications of courts based on the CPR.
Slow Less than 30
Medium-slow 30-34
Medium 35-39
Medium-fast 40-44
Fast Greater than 45
The actual CPR for each centre court surface at the Grand Slams is not publicly available, only the category into which they fall.
Coefficient of friction The ITF describes this as "the ratio of the vertical velocity of the ball after the bounce to that before impact. A surface that yields a higher COF is typically perceived to play slower, because the player has more time to reach the ball."
Coefficient of restitution The ITF says this is "the ratio of the horizontal and the vertical components of force between the ball and the surface. A rougher surface has a greater COR, causing a greater reduction in the horizontal velocity and the surface to play 'slower.' "
National Post
Wimbledon is not the only Grand Slam tournament that has changed its surface. In 2008, the Australian Open changed from the spongier Rebound Ace to the firmer Plexicushion blue hard court, which offers a lower and more predictable bounce that is closer to the surface at the U.S. Open.
"Players complained [Rebound Ace] was too soft. It was like playing on a beach," Fauquier says. "You got so tired. Now they have essentially the same surface as the U.S. Open."
Because the differences between the four surfaces have become much less distinguished, it increases the chances that the same top players will be in the final of every tournament.
Fauquier, who installs the courts at Rexall Centre for the Rogers Cup in Toronto, says hard courts have been slowed down over the years by adding more silica sand into the acrylic paint. The sand grips the fuzz on the ball, causing it to slow down and bounce upwards. "Nobody wants to see a guy drive a golf ball through a tiled bathroom," he says. "You need to see point develop. That shows you the magic and mastery of the quality of the guys.
"That's why [Roger] Federer is so universally loved and revered," Fauquier added, "because he has the talent to develop the point and hit magical shots under difficult situations."
Racquets, which have gone from wood to graphite to carbon fibre, have also changed. In 2001, the International Tennis Federation introduced balls that would play faster or slower depending on the surface. But the biggest change is evolution. Players are bigger, faster and stronger than they were 20 years ago. They are also better athletes and have more well-rounded games. Even a player such as Milos Raonic, who often lives and dies by his powerful serve, is developing a baseline game that allowed him to reach the quarter-finals at this year's French Open as well as the second week at Wimbledon.
"I don't think it's because the grass has changed. I think it's because of the racquets and then everyone is stronger," says former world No. 1 player Tracy Austin, who twice won the U.S. Open. "You can actually hit balls that were not available to players 20 years ago because of the strength."
"It's probably a much better product of athleticism," Nestor says. "Very physical and long rallies and very powerful tennis, but very similar tennis. Point in and point out, you're watching the same rally over and over again."
It all adds up to a Wimbledon where the favourites — Nadal, Federer, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray — were also the favourites at the French Open and will also be the favourites at the U.S. Open in July. It might not be a classic battle of one style over another, but seeing the best in the final is exactly what the fans want in the end.
"I grew up in a time where the most interesting matchup was a serve-and-volleyer against a baseliner; a guy who was attacking against someone who was trying to pass him the whole time," Nestor says. "That was more interesting than watching long rallies that look exactly the same.
"It depends on how you look at it. Do you want to see guys who specialize playing in tournaments or the same guys and the same rivalries over and over again?"

Lost Planet 2
I recall seeing the first Lost Planet game at E3 and thinking, "Wow, this looks like a blast!"
Having played it the excitement soon shifted to disappointment thanks to sluggish controls, a confusing storyline and short gameplay. Fastforward a few years and here we are in 2010. Today Capcom released their sequel to a very lackluster original.
Is it good? Is it more of the same? Do we know what the **** is going on in this one?
Come find out.
Gameplay is the key to surviving Akrids
One of the more frustrating reasons I severely disliked the first Lost Planet was because it played like you were running through a large batch of syrup. Your solider was slow, turning around to fight the enemy was like watching a three-point turn from a Semi-truck; there were so many reasons controls bothered me that I can't think up enough analogies. Just to put it simply, they sucked.
That sort of movement was a big turn off. With Lost Planet 2 this bitter memory is long since gone. The character controls are much faster and more responsive than the first. Switching between weapons is nearly instantaneous. The overall movement and response time in the midst of combat is so much better than the original Lost Planet. Bring able to hook onto a ledge, immediately start firing your weapon or, better yet, hooking onto the bottom of a tall building and hanging there firing your weapon is damn nice. There is so much range of motion with your character, and quick motion at that, you'll simply forget all those bad memories of sluggishly running in the snow after someone or away from someone. Those days are over!
My only complaint with the motion, and more specifically the hook, is that you can't go 'Bionic Commando' on a range of buildings. You can't swing from ledge to ledge even when you have the proper motion to do so. That has to be added into Lost Planet 3. I can't tell you how many times I swung off a ledge in hopes of hooking onto another ledge only to be pushing the hook button to no avail. Is it a huge deal? Sorta. It would have increased the amount of skill that the game already gives you. You could do some pretty darn funky things with this option. Too bad it wasn't included.
Outside of movement, you still get a nice set of weapons to choose from in Lost Planet 2. You've got your standard machine gun, shotgun and missile launcher. More VS weapons are readily available at your disposal as well as a nice flamethrower, different types of handheld weapons (including the Turbo Express -- just kidding) and newly added VS that never made it in the first one. When you get online you'll find these readily available to you in the heat of battle.
Two particular VS that come to mind that are very impressive to control and neat to use, are the Akrid VS models and a three seater robotic VS. While you can pretty much guess what the first one is (metal Akrids) the latter of that sentence is pretty cool. It requires three soldiers to use it to the fullest extent. One soldier for each arm and one that controls the movement of the VS. It's a very powerful VS, especially if you can get everyone to cooperate using it.
For me, I think the wide variety of weapons adds so much depth to an already fun game. For an action game it's almost required to give this variety of weapons to the gamer; and Capcom doesn't disappoint. When I was at the Capcom event for the multiplayer session in San Mateo back in March, I was wowed (as were the people around me) at the amount of firepower available to the players in Lost Planet 2. It was truly a welcomed upgrade.
Now there is some slight confusion about the campaign/co-op mode versus the online mode. The campaign mode helps you prepare for online gameplay. It does its best to put together a more cohesive storyline than the first (and it succeeds with flying colors), but the levels and situations in the campaign/co-op mode are very reminiscent of online levels. For example, in the first chapter of the game you end up raiding a pirate mining facility. Once raided you have to turn on all the power beacons in the facility. Once those are on, you have to insure that the drilling mechanism that they pirates are using have to overheat. Once those overheat you have to make sure you can leave pretty easily. All of these steps reside in one central locaiton. You have waves and waves of enemies coming at you and you have to protect your interests. It's such a secluded environment with shooting holes in it that it screams 'this was made for online play'. There's nothing wrong with this, but it seems like Capcom's devs had online play on the brain and decided to build an arcing storyline through these locations. You'll see what I mean when you play; it stands out pretty well.
The use of these boards seems to hurt the story a bit, but surprisingly you still get a better story than the first (scary, isn't it?). The story seems to have some holes in it, but Capcom does their best to patch them up. They force the transition from place to place and it shows. Again, I still think the overall story is much better than the original.
Anyway, the online play is what is going to sweeten the deal with Lost Planet 2. It features a variety of levels, each 'huge' in its own way. The jungle level and the snow level are my two favorites. The snow level will look familiar to you because it's a portion of the first game. The jungle level is an enormous playground of hiding spots and large structures. For two teams, or even a huge deathmatch, traveling through this level there are plenty of places to hide or even just hold down and battle. There's so much going on with the online play that it's just becomes some serious fun. Here are the types of online modes:
- Elimination
- Tem Elimination
- Data Post Battle
- Akrid Egg Battle
- Fugitive
- Battle Series
Some of these you will recognize and some of them you won't. The three that stand out unique to Lost Planet 2 is Data Post Battle, Akrid Egg Battle and Fugitive.
The Data Post Battle revolves around the activating of data posts by each team. There is a limited amount of time and the team that has the most activated by the end of the round wins. There are 5-6 data posts you must activate and each one can be re-activated by the other team. It's quite cool and very nerve racking, which makes it even better.
The Akrid Egg Battle is a simple 'capture the flag' type of game, but with an Akrid Egg and sort of in reverse. Don't worry this isn't Aliens. That sucker isn't going to hatch. It's a neat online game that is won by getting the most eggs for your team.
Finally, the Fugitive game is just like the movie by the same name. You against one person. Sounds easy, right? The one person is a bit harder to kill than you, so take that into account. You can have more than one fugitive, but it's always challenging with just one. You decide though, as you can customize the battles the way you want and expect.
There's a lot more to the online mode, but these are the finer points. The customization of the online mode of play is insane.
Much better looking
The big upgrade, outside of better gameplay, is how nice the game looks. What was being shown at E3 2009 last year was the great salamander battle on a very rainy portion of the planet. That was impressive with the coat of rain rolling off the shiny skin of the giant Akrid. The grass and hills in this particular stage were detailed so well that you swear you were getting muddy. This was just the beginning in terms of visuals.
When it begins, the game disguises itself with an old familiar element, snow. You will think this is just another shady way of Capcom getting away of creating actual depth and detailed visuals like in the first game. Soon you'll find yourself in a lush, detailed, planet ridden jungle that will make your jaw drop to the ground. The environments this time around are full of detail and enormous. Capcom and devs have upped the ante in terms of visuals of the environment and how they react to the battle around you. Leaves move, shadows move, the walls at a pirate fortress look worn; there's plenty of detail here to make you understand what Capcom has been doing for the last few months.
The environments are gorgeous.
Not to be second best, the character models of the soldiers, pirates, VS and even Akrids are just as impressive. The soldiers wear different outfits for different environments. Each outfit detailed to the bone and moves like its alive. When you jump off a ledge or cliff things on the uniform adjust to the gravity and physics. Yes, folks it's that detailed. Even more impressive are the VS, whch brim with mechanical awareness and parts. For every sound effect you hear as you get into a VS you'll find a part moving to correspond to that effect. It's as if a Veritech jet mated with a Battletech drone; there's so much detail here. All you mech-heads out there will be pleased with the new VS.
One aspect that Capcom is banking on for Lost Planet 2 to fly its flag high on is the enormous Akrids. They are bigger in this one and much harder to kill. For you lucky folks that saw the salamander Akrid from the multiplayer demo at E3, that's just the tip of the iceberg with what you get in the finished game. There are gigantic Akrids, each waiting to chew your team up and spit them out. Capcom came through on its promise and by the time you kill one of these gigantic beast you'll probably want to go sip a cold one in celebration.
Fun and long-lasting appeal
A pair of concerns with the first Lost Planet was the fun factor and longevity of the game. The first game was frustrating in so many areas. Getting knocked down by a VS constantly was no fun. Having to do ridiculous things like deal with emerging enemies out of nowhere was not much fun. Worst of all having a 5-6 hour length of gameplay certainly didn't feel rewarding at the end of the day. There was a lot to do, but not a lot to fun to be had in a short amount of time.
Thanks to online play, a better story and a neat/fun co-op mode there is a lot to be had here. If you count the campaign mode with the online mode then you're going to have 20-30 hours of fun here before you need a break. It all depends on your love and dedication to the game. For me, I could go back and complete this game again. There are loads of trophies to be had and there are better letter scores (you get scores at the end of each mission) to be had here. In other words, the game provides you with room for improvement that your pride will require you to go back and replay it again. This game is worth the $59.99, as you'll get every bit of that back in fun and online play.
Now, is the game perfect? No. It still has some flaws like the storyline, but damn it they improved it so much that you have to give them props for it. This game is good, despite what other bitter reviewers are telling you.
Check it out and send me hate mail if you think otherwise. In this reviewer's eyes, a pair that have seen the frustrating gameplay and lack of fun from the first Lost Planet, Capcom has done a complete 180 with this title.

A worthy sequel to a mediocre game
Lost Planet 2 is better by leaps and bounds from the original. Still, there is room for improvement, especially in a more cohesive storyline. It's better in a lot of areas, but could be even greater. You'll soon forget the campaign mode as quickly as you can, as you'll spend most of your time online with Lost Planet 2. The online play is the big seller, but the campaign/co-op mode isn't far behind.
Bigger, better and more satisfying.

AWESOME Colorway! If These Release to the public, I would COP Them! :)

It's safe to say that people had assumed that the Nike LeBron X Low would be done after this weekend's raspberry release. Such is not the case-as another colorway has been spotted out in the wild. The sneakers have all sorts of beastly graphics attached, from the menacing teeth on the tongue tag to the eye peeking out from the midsole. Continue reading to get the full preview of yet another impressive release for the Nike LeBron 10 Low and stay tuned to find out if this animal style sneaker is headed to the US.

AWESOME Colorway! If These Release to the public, I would COP Them! :)
Like em except for the logo on the tongue ....rest is dope
these and the akron aeros are the only ones i will buy.
Could have been worse, but this is not for me though.
These look like they were custom-made
This will be the third pair of low Xs copped
If NIKE wants sending off Lebron X lows with a bang and big profit margins, then they should general release the one in the Championship Edition pack. This is a no-brainer economic decision.
To be honest, all the X lows colorways are just hovering around the championship pack colorways, probably with an exception of 2 or 3 of them. Even the Arnold Palmers/Lebronolds should be a GR?
@Sneeky Sigh... I take it you have your doctorate in Economics...?
probably just a thirsty man who want the lebronal palmers and 2 time lows bad but dont have enough to get them from ebay
Cool Concept But With All The Lows Terrible Execution. Nike Like They Can Choose The Right Colours.
Dope but I'm not get look like what the lebron low
These muthasuckas go hard in the paint! Off the chain whatever you want to say, but definitely fresh and a must have for me
Da details on these are dope
Fresh cw. Would love to see this cw on another shoe. Not a big fan of the Lebron x lows.
These aren't bad.

(KPRC) A violent purse snatching in downtown Houston, Texas was caught on store surveillance cameras.
The crime happened around 9:30 a.m. Thursday.
The victim, who didn't want to be identified, said she and her sister came from Louisiana to Houston to buy goods at a local grocery supply. While her sister was inside, a van pulled up to the woman. A man jumped out and tried to grab her purse, but couldn't.
The two struggled, and eventually, the thief got back inside the van with the purse, but the woman still had it over her shoulder and couldn't let it go.

New Orleans Saints fans hope that the return of Joe Vitt as the interim head coach will bring stability to an otherwise tumultuous year so far.
After serving his six-game suspension resulting from the bounty controversy this offseason, Vitt will assume the role of interim head coach in place of Sean Payton, who has been suspended for the entirety of the 2012 season.
However, it remains to be seen whether or not Vitt can turn around the Saints' 2-5 season.
Certainly there was an understandable expectation that the Saints would struggle in the wake of the bounty scandal and the suspension of Payton, but I expected that the transition would be mostly seamless under the leadership of Drew Brees.
During the lockout in the spring of 2011, Brees had demonstrated this type of leadership by organizing team practices. That said, I don't know that he hasn't played this role.
Given losses to weaker competition, like the Carolina Panthers and Kansas City Chiefs, it seems as though the problems in New Orleans extend beyond a missing coach.

Clementine & Cointreau marmalade
Nutrition and extra info
- Easily halved
- kcal-
- fat-
- saturates-
- carbs-
- sugars-
- fibre-
- protein-
- salt-
- 4 large clementine (500g/1lb total weight)
The smallest and sweetest variety of tangerine is sweet and tangy, contains no seeds and is…
- juice of 3 large lemons (about 200ml/7fl oz)
Oval in shape, with a pronouced bulge on one end, lemons are one of the most versatile fruits…
- 1.3l water
- 1kg granulated sugar
- 4 tbsp Cointreau
Scrub clementines in warm soapy water, rinse, then halve and squeeze juice into a large pan. Scoop out the pulp and any seeds, then tie in the muslin, as before. Shred the peel. Add both to the pan with the lemon juice and water, then leave to steep overnight.
Put the pan over a medium heat and bring up to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, until the peel is soft, about 30-45 mins. Squeeze as much liquid from the muslin bag as possible. Discard the bag. Weigh the mixture – you should have around 1.15kg.
Put the pan over a low heat, then add the sugar. Heat gently until sugar has dissolved, stirring occasionally, then bring up to a good rolling boil. Cook for 15 mins, then check for a set (see Step 5). If not at setting point, boil (see Know how) for a further 2 mins and check again. Repeat until setting point has been reached.
Add Cointreau, taking care, as marmalade will bubble up. Allow to stand for 15 mins or until beginning to thicken. Transfer to sterilised jars, then seal.
To test the setting point: take the pan off the heat and allow the bubbles to subside. Take a plate from the freezer and spoon a little liquid onto the plate, then return to the freezer for 1 min. Push the marmalade along the plate with your finger. If setting point has been reached then the marmalade surface will wrinkle slightly and the marmalade won't run back straight away. If it's not at setting point, return to the heat and boil again for 2 mins before re-testing. Repeat until setting point is reached. If you have a sugar thermometer, setting point is reached at 105C, but it's good to do the plate test as well.
Sterilising jars
To sterilise jars, wash them in hot soapy water, rinse with hot water, then dry with a clean tea towel. Place on a baking tray, then put in a low oven at 100C/fan 80C/gas ½ for 10 mins. The jars will be hot; so don't put them directly on to a cold surface as they could crack. Alternatively, put them through the hot cycle of a dishwasher.
Passion fruit & orange marmalade
Follow the method for making Seville orange marmalade, but increase the sugar by 100g and add the juice 6-7 large, ripe passionfruit (you should have about 200ml/7fl oz pulp). It will take about 2-3 mins longer to reach setting point and will be a softer set than the Seville marmalade. Put into sterilised jars, then seal.
Ginger & orange marmalade
A note of warming ginger makes this recipe ideal for chilly mornings. Follow the method for making Seville orange marmalade, adding 85g peeled, finely grated fresh ginger to the muslin bag. Once the marmalade has reached setting point, stir in 4 finely chopped balls of preserved ginger, then leave to stand. Put into sterilised jars, then seal.

Just had a go, simple enough to do. Will update tonight with how good it tastes. Like said before it took longer to reach 105°c than stated and to set. Recommend using a very high sided pot.
Update: it has set beautifully and tastes amazing on toast. Good boozy kick makes it very Christmassy. Recommend making it as presents definitely!
I boiled and boiled and boiled this until the sugar was dangerously frothing right out of the pot and caremelising itself onto my hob but it just would not reach setting point (couldn't get it over 102*C). It tastes good enough, maybe we'll use it as sauce on ice cream or bread and butter pudding, I'd tend to say that it is very sweet for a marmalade though, not sure my Dad would have fancied it on his toast!
Maybe it was because I found some of the instructions a bit unclear: "...tie in the muslin, as before." ?? When before? I would advise anyone making this to keep some pectin handy and/or to use pectin/preserving sugar instead of granulated.
A neighbour gave me a carrier bag full of clementines so when i found this recipe I decided to make the marmalade. I then gave her a few jars. It was beautiful and my neighbour loved it too. i will now make some more and give as presents! i live in Brisbane by the way hence being able to grow them in the garden. Just need to look for soem more recipes!!

I always enjoy watching the creative process of rebranding a company.
This video encapsulates the rebranding process completely.
One of the companies I greatly admire is 37signals. This company has a suite of business productivity products that I use every day for the projects that I manage.
In this video, he talks about the design methodology behind the building of their products. That is something I have drawn great inspiration from in building Identifii. I hope to be able to stick to focusing on the components that are necessary and not over thinking the unimportant things.
I have become a user experience fanatic. It is one of those areas where I am personally putting in a lot of time to learn fundamentals. For those who are wondering what User Experience (UX) Design is:
UX design is how a website or piece of software works, how humans interact with it, the information architecture, usability, etc. If done incorrectly, the user feels frustrated, cannot find the right buttons or does not go where he/she is supposed to. To counter this, UX designers use sound, colors, architecture and visual layouts to ensure the user completes a required action.
The best picture that I have ever seen describe this principle is:

Quality Check
This test is intended to check the drives' ability to read up physically damaged discs. We used a specially prepared disc with multiple scratches on the working surface. As you see from the table, absolute champions are Pioneer DVR-105 and DVR-105BK. The both were fast and didn't make any mistakes during reading. Their analog, Pioneer DVR-A05, performed a little bit worse. Going on at the same speed, it produced 70 errors. Probably, it owes these errors to an older firmware version. Ricoh RW5125A and Teac DV-W50E do quite well, too. Their owners can rely on their ability to read a bad disc.
Pioneer DVR-104WB was the least successful of all in this test producing over a million errors at the slowest read speed. Moreover, it hung up as soon as it reached the second half of the disc. Mitsumi DW-7801TE and NEC ND-1100A, as well as both Sony drives were just a little better: they all produced quite a big number of errors, which can become critical in some cases.
Performance in Nero CD DAE
This test shows the ability of a drive to rip an audio disc into WAV files. For this test we used a licensed CD-disk. The results are listed in the table above.
There were no faulty drives, and they all performed at similar speeds, except Pioneer DVR-104WB. That's quite predictable considering its lower speed characteristics. On the other hand, it consumed less CPU resources. All other models loaded the CPU equally.

If x is an odd integer and y is an odd integer then xy is an odd integer. Use direct proof to prove the following.
I am stumped on where to go from here. All I know is that the definition of an odd integer is n=2k+1 where n is the integer.
So I assume that I need x=2n+1 and y=2m+1 but I really don't know where to go from here. This seems really simple but where to start is stubborn to me.
read this : FOIL rule - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ok so ive been working on this..
x= 2n+1 y=2m+1
xy= (2n+1)(2m)+1
xy= 4nm +2n +2m +1 using FOIL
2(nm+n+m) +1 using factoring by 2
n & m are real numbers so...
nm + n + m = k (real number) using addition/multiplication of real numbers
2k+1 is the same as the definition of odd number...
is this right? Can anyone add to this.

Melo is playing tonight. Called that in the other thread. He loves this matchup no way he was sitting out.
Sheed, Camby, and Novak are all out
If we didn't have this many injuries, I doubt Melo would've played. Reports were saying he was grimacing a bit when he was running

In this 2-day session, teachers of infants, toddlers, and twos will gain an understanding of the importance of experiences for this age-group and learn how to plan every aspect the experiences they provide in order to scaffold children's learning. They will learn strategies for setting up and enhancing the learning environment; what types of experiences should be offered each day; what materials to offer and how to display them; how to incorporate content learning into everyday experiences; and how observation of children can inform planning and instruction.
