More TGI (Total Game Intergration) events. Those are usually pretty awesome. The Dead Island, Kill Zone 3 and Uncharted 3 TGIs were very popular.
I thought they were a great way to promote a game and hope that those Developers, and others, can see how fun (and hopefully profitable) TGIs in Home are.
Heya Conrad... I love your Idea's... You always post so many, I was wondering, is there a reason you Post several around the same time yet in different posts? Is it so you can tell what idea's people like and are Kudoing? I only ask this because you could maybe Put your 20 Idea's in one post if they are the same Day... Just noticing that you make many posts in this thread everymonth... Love the Idea, just don't see the point of Posting 20 diff. times.
PS... I love the TGI idea... this kinda thing is what HOME is made for... When we mentioned to them that Advertizement could save the Gamers the Cost of the program back in 07... TGI is what we were talking about... yes micro transactions are a small support too, yet the Micro transactions were supposed to be a way to help game devs cover cost for TGI and Advertizement in HOME, yet the TGI and Adds were how HOME was supposed to make its real money, that way everyone was happy... Gamers got a no to low cost Social Gaming outlet, Dev of 3rd partys had a way to advertize and sell fan ware(digital of course), and Sony still made thier profits... Yet Instead we pay the way and the Devs pay the way... in very large amounts that are not Micro in the least...

Re: June 2013 Suggestions!
i would love to see animated animal tails. kinda like the locomotions where the avi has the tail, press the square button and you move or run faster and the tail reacts to the increased speed. i have the squirrel tail but there are several hand items i'd like to use but can't because the tail takes up the hand slot.
from your friendly neighborhood squirrel ^^

So we have a dog park. How about some different dog breeds?
If we took just five minutes, to recognize each others beauty, instead of attacking each other for our differences .............

Home controls request.
Activate/deactivate Home items by typing it.
I'd like to ask again for a feature where you can type for instance, the first two letters of a Locomotion for it to activate, and type it again to deactivate it. Just like how you can type /L, /C, and /G, to switch between the different channels on the Chatlog, and the search tap and shortcuts on a computer.
I really think it would be a very welcome feature as you can change dances, emotes, wings, heels, vehicles, and other things, in real time, in a realistic way, and above all, without having to go through that annoying Inventory that, the longer it gets, the longer it takes to load.
Frankly, I think that sooner or later a way has to be found to skip the whole loading process that comes looking, when you want something in the Inventory, or the wardrobe.
I mean, when you want a certain file on your computer, you don't go looking for it on that file list that consists of thousands of files. You type the file's name in the search tap, or simply select it's shortcut, and thus skipping the list entirely.
By being able to activate an item by typing for instance, the initials, you can skip the entire Inventory, and/or wardrobe.
If the Inventory is this long already within a year, imagine how long it will be with another 4 years.
Re: June 2013 Suggestions!
Lift the club limits from 5 to 8 or 10 even.
Better organization of inventory, have sections for specific types of LMO's and have a storage for each section.
More skin colors and maybe even textures. i.e. scaly skin
Portable wall hangings, like a gallery stand or easel type of item so we can place pictures where we want them and in clubs.
More furniture items, less LMO's
Personal spaces with a dimmer switch on the lights.
Improve the ignore feature to make the user you ignored invisible and yourself invisible to them.

Re: June 2013 Suggestions![ Edited ]
I think it would be awesome if there where Journey Character costumes available in maybe the Costumes store.
And have maybe the white cloak, and red cloak available.
And not to mention it be nice if it came with costum animation as sitting in a meditative state:
And whistling:
And also It'd be cool if while running the character flies as it does in the actual game.
If this could be made that'd be amazing~
And it be funny to watch them dance with there tiny little legs and armlessness xD
And lastly it'd be really nice to have more emo or scene type hair for boys and girls like this:
and also some with beanies~
I'm aware that Lockwood has the Attitude Hair but the thing is I can't access anything from lockwood(and I'm aware some others can't either), and it'd be awsome if there was more varieties~
Anyway thats all, I would greatly appreciate if these ideas were taken into consideration

Our ambition is to provide investors and other stakeholders with relevant information about Odd Molly
Odd Molly International AB (publ)
Stockholm, Sweden, February 19, 2014
A year distinguished by changes to increase control and long-term growth
January 1 - December 31, 2013
· Net sales amounted to SEK 228.2 million (223.7).
· The gross profit margin was 54.5 percent (53.6).
· The operating loss was SEK -24.1 million (0.2) and was charged with one-time expenses of about SEK 12.3 million.
· The net loss was SEK -19.4 million (3.0).
· Earnings per share amounted to SEK -3.38 (0.52).
October 1 - December 31, 2013
· Net sales amounted to SEK 47.3 million (34.3).
· The gross profit margin was 52.7 percent (45.4).
· The operating loss was SEK -14.1 million (-7.0) and was charged with one-time expenses of about SEK 7.6 million.
· The net loss was SEK -11.4 million (-2.9).
· Earnings per share amounted to SEK -1.98 (-0.50).
· The Board of Directors proposes to the Annual General Meeting that no dividend be paid for the financial year 2013. The dividend for financial year 2012 was SEK 1.50 per share.
Events during the quarter
· Odd Molly decided during the quarter to take over sales responsibility for the Swedish market. The official takeover was through an acquisition in January 2014.
· A number of changes were made during the quarter to adapt the organization to future business investments.
Comment from the CEO
When I joined Odd Molly two years ago, I knew we had to make changes to see change. That requires an energetic response and financial maneuverability - both of which we have. Thanks to a strong balance sheet, Odd Molly is in a favorable situation where we can do what has to be done to ensure our long-term success. Last year was one of major strategic decisions and actions. As a result, earnings for 2013 were charged with significant transitional costs that will lead to future opportunities. Last year also saw the results of the weak order values we reported in 2012, whereas the fine increase of order value during the fall of 2013 will have an impact on revenues in 2014. The fourth quarter was also highlighted - in terms of both activities and results - by further steps in Odd Molly's process of change.
Collection - new merchandise and sales focus
Important category development work has resulted in clearly improved order values (spring/summer 2014 saw an increase of 25 percent), good retail sales and strong performance in our own sales channels - especially Odd Molly's web shop. We are selling more high-volume products and have reduced the average price but increased the average order - exactly as planned. In January, we began promoting the 2014 fall/winter collection and feel optimistic about the future. With a category strategy that has proven itself, we will continue to fine-tune the collections and how we work with sourcing and sales over the course of the year.
Organization - targeted focus
During the quarter we implemented a number of changes to adapt the organization to future business investments with a focus on design, sales, and closeness to customers. Certain services have been modified and others disappeared. Such change obviously affects the entire organization, but these measures are necessary to make Odd Molly more competitive.
Distribution - customer focus
In an effort to strengthen growth prospects, we decided during the fourth quarter to take over sales responsibility for the Swedish market. This is a strategic decision, and a big one, which gives Odd Molly greater control over the supply chain and brings us closer to the customer. We feel this is vital to our success. Having made this decision, we now have responsibility for sales throughout Scandinavia - our closest and most important market.
Greater control over distribution in Scandinavia (we terminated the agency agreements in Norway and Denmark earlier in the year) also means greater flexibility to develop the business. With a higher share of consumer sales through our own channels, we believe we can eventually achieve more consistency over the course of the year.
Summation - focus on profitable long-term growth
In summary, we implemented several changes and took important steps in 2013 - steps that entailed costs last year but will bear fruit going forward. Expenses related to these changes and adjustments in certain valuation principles total about SEK 12 million.
Regardless of all the changes, Odd Molly's foundation remains firmly in place: a distinctive design concept based on colors, patterns and craftsmanship - always with an attitude and a twist.

About Me
This is my art... my creative outlet.... not my business. As a result, I believe I bring a unique and personal approach to portraits, portfolios, and commercial photography assignments. I've worked with dozens of models who appreciate the relaxed, friendly, but always professional atmosphere. My hope is to create images that tell stories and reveal something about the subject. For over 15 years my career has been in journalism, documentary film and television production. I've been fortunate to had my programs distributed regionally and nationally, and have been honored by a variety of organizations.

Welcome to your New HomeMature
Chapter Three: Welcome to your New Home
I turned to the baths with a sigh and turned on one tap. After weeks of washing only when needed and usually with cold water the hot water shocked my skin. I washed quickly, aware as I did of how muddy the water was growing. Someone walked in, the steam mostly hid her features but I figured it was Helen. I could tell she was human straight away and felt my anxiety ease.
"Oh my," she said when she saw the colour of the water. She shooed me out and emptied the tub, filling a second. I shivered where I stood as she ran about getting this bottle and that bottle and I wondered why. I caught myself in the mirror as I followed her movement and blinked. I knew I was on the thin side, but the stick before me took me by surprise. My brown hair hung in knotted tangles and bags decorated my eyes.
"Come on," Helen said, motioning to the bath. It was a lot hotter than one I'd just taken but I didn't complain as she scrubbed at my skin. She gave off a matronly air and I had a feeling she'd scold me if I tried to fight her efforts. She pulled the first bottle and soaked a sponge with it and scrubbed my skin a second time. The scent of lavender reached my nose instantly and I recalled the dream. How quickly things had change since then I thought sourly. Next she attacked my hair and I made a point of keeping my eyes shut. I couldn't recall when I'd last used shampoo or conditioner, both were luxuries afforded only to humans on their side. All I'd ever had was a bar of soap, but it was all everyone had. Back at the colony people understood how fleeting our lives could be. My few love affairs had been short and nothing more than physical touch for this very reason. Finally she pulled away, giving a statisfied smile.
"So what's your name?," Helen asked, helping me out of the bath and handing me a thick towel. It was big enough to wrap around me twice.
"Nicole," I answered, drying myself quickly. Helen motioned to a pile of fresh cloths and I started to dress.
"Good to know. Cain is useless, never mentioning enough facts," she laughed. It took me a split second to realise she must've meant the vampire. The affectionate way with which she spoke of him shocked me. She saw this on my face and laughed again.
"I understand why you did what you did. There are bad ones out there. But there are good too. Don't worry, Cain's a good one. He'll be nothing like his father," she said. I didn't understand the reference then understanding dawned.
"Cain Val'terrice?" I asked with a whisper.
"Who else would live in the castle and be bale to release you so easily?" Helen asked with a smile. Cain, the only son of Sergio Val'terrice, the leader of the vampires. If I managed to get close enough to him to kill...the implications would be huge.
"Don't be so scared now. He won't hurt you, not after all the trouble to get you out of that damn cell," Helen said, misreading my expression. I gave a small nod and followed her through two more corridors. She handed me a small brass key and I opened the door before me. Inside was a simple wardrobe, bedside table and single bed.
"Sleep well now, and welcome to your new home" Helen said cheerily before closing the door behind me. I stared around the plain walls and floor and out my window. Two floors up and again, barred. Was I ever going to breath fresh air again? The thought made me sad, I tore back the covers and climbed into the bed, turning off the lamp. I knew I had a restless night of fitful sleep to look forward to. When my eyes closed I knew one thing, I'd never think of this of place as home.

There's a reason why we focus mostly on drum lampshades, here at I like that lamp - they are by far the simplest to measure and make! However, if you want to make a tapered lampshade (or upgrade an old one) with our pre-cut adhesive styrene sheets, you'll want to know what size sheet to order. Simply measuring the height and width of your lampshade won't give you an accurate measurement, as the piece of styrene you need to create the shade will be in the shape of an 'arc', rather than a regular rectangle. So, here's how to determine the required dimensions of your tapered lampshade.
When your styrene sheet arrives, use the paper model to trace your arc onto the styrene. Remember that you need an extra inch for the length of styrene, to allow for overlap when constructing the shade. This extra inch is already figured into the dimensions of the pre-cut styrene.

Lord Woolf's report Access to Justice envisages the pre-trial review (PTR) as an integral part of case management: it provides "an opportunity to set a programme, timetable and budget for the trial". Currently, the Lord Chief Justice's practice direction (Civil Litigation: Case Management) of 24 January 1995 says a PTR should be applied for in cases estimated to last over 10 days in the Queen's Bench and Chancery Divisions. It should be conducted between eight and four weeks before trial.
According to the Chancery Guide, the party applying for the PTR should circulate a list of matters to be considered at the hearing at least seven days in advance. The remaining parties must respond with comments at least two days before the PTR. This exchange should address outstanding procedural steps, the estimated length of trial, its conduct and the order of evidence. The Guide to Commercial Court Practice goes further to identify the programming of the trial, preliminary issues or order of issues to be tried, order of witnesses and organisation of documents as items for consideration.
PTRs are under-used at present. There follow some suggestions on how to maximise the benefits of this procedure, possibly the last time at which counsel or solicitors instructed to represent the parties will attend court prior to trial.
Even though the practice direction only envisages a PTR in longer cases, it may be invaluable in shorter cases which involve complications such as multiplicity of issues or witnesses.
Circulating and commenting on lists of matters to be considered at the PTR will be useful to firm up the matters in dispute in any division.
There are no limits on what can be raised at the PTR: all administrative matters (bundles, date for service of draft chronologies, lists of authorities, sequence of opening submissions, witnesses) and substantive outstanding matters (preliminary issues or other interlocutories) can be resolved before a judge who may be the trial judge.
A reminder – all matters should form the subject of consent order or a direction.


text: EUR/USD update (21st June 2012, 06:00) Market Moves Staff in Forex News 21 Jun 2012 0 share Share Tweet Email Share In US trade, the euro managed to push modestly higher despite a lacklustre FOMC meeting outcome, which saw the Fed extend its 'Operation Twist' programme, but refrain from any further quantitative easing. While the resulting firmer USD would normally have meant a weaker euro, the shared currency was able to push higher on the back of some positive euro-centric news. New Democracy's Samaras was sworn in as the new Prime Minister of Greece after successfully forming a coalition with PASOK and the Democratic Left parties, ending fears of a protracted negotiation stalemate that followed the original election. Also, Spanish yields dropped across the curve with the 10-year yield falling by 30 basis points, a welcome breather for the government as it has a bond auction scheduled later today, while the ECB's Coeure commented that the ECB is likely to back proposals for the EFSF to buy sovereign bonds in the secondary markets. On the issue of another LTRO, he noted that it would probably be warranted only in cases of widespread liquidity challenges and not to resolve local bank difficulties. Having ended yesterday's Australian session around the 1.2685 level, the euro surged to a high of 1.2743 before closing US trade at 1.2707. Upon resuming for Asian trade, the euro has drifted lower to be currently in the mid-1.2670s.

The airline with the greatest number of Boeing's new Dreamliner jets will resume commercial flights with it today, four months after the 787 jet was grounded over safety fears.
Japan's All Nippon Airways will fly passengers on five 787 flights this month before launching its scheduled services on the aircraft on June 1.
Sunday's flight will carry passengers from the island of Hokkaido to Tokyo's Haneda Airport. An ANA Dreamliner made an emergency landing in Japan in January after instruments indicated a battery error. That incident, plus smoke and an onboard fire, saw authorities ground the 787. Boeing has been tweaking the battery since January.
Thomson will be the first UK airline to fly passengers on the Dreamliner, with passengers travelling to Cancun and Florida from July 8 expected to be on the Dreamliner.

China Transformed, but Can Autocracy Survive Changing Generations?
While there are American-style liberals in China, some intellectuals and others view freedom through a different, and they say Chinese, prism. Some reject U.S.-style democracy without exactly affirming CCP-led autocracy. Everyone wants to be heard, but they don't necessarily want everyone else, especially the rural masses, to be heard.

It analyses theCastanopsis carlesii, Camellia oleifera andSymplocos laurina populations' status and role in theCastanopsis carlesii community basing on the study on the dominant population size structure, survival curve and dynamic. It reveals theCastanopsis carlesi population acts as a main role in the community which maintains the stabilization and renovation of the community. The populations ofCamellia oleifera andSymplocos laurina act as a secondary position. The development and succession dynamics of dominant populations is also discussed. The management method is preliminary drawn out which offers a theoretical basis for the evergreen broad-leaved forest restoration and reconstruction in the lower hilly of the west edge of the Sichuan basin.

SEATTLE -- Aaron Sele has spent the past six weeks regaining command of his fastball -- as well as his career.
The 34-year-old right-hander is enjoying a revival in the middle of his 13th big league season, winning for the fourth time in five starts Wednesday night and leading the Seattle Mariners to a 5-1 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.
Ichiro Suzuki hit a leadoff homer, Mike Morse hit a two-run shot for his first major league home run and Randy Winn also connected in Seattle's second win in a row over the Phillies.
Sele (6-5) went six innings, allowing eight hits and one first-inning run. He worked out of a critical bases-loaded jam in the fifth by inducing Jim Thome to fly out to center.
Sele, who claimed a position in the Mariners' rotation this spring as a non-roster invitee, was in jeopardy of losing his spot in the rotation and perhaps the roster in early May when he had a 6.31 ERA. But in his last six starts he has a 1.56 ERA.
"It's something as simple as sitting down with (pitching coach) Bryan Price, looking at some video tape and making some mechanical adjustments," Sele said. "For me, I was pitching up in the zone. When you pitch down in the zone, you get groundballs. I'm a contact pitcher. I'm going to give up some hits, but when you can back up that with some double plays that's great. And if you don't walk a lot of guys, that's a formula you can pitch with."
Mariners manager Mike Hargrove said what he has noticed "is his command is much better. His main pitch that he has commanded well has been his fastball."
What Sele also is commanding is the National League. Half of his wins this season have come in interleague play. He is now 18-7 in career interleague starts, tying him for first with Greg Maddux for most wins.
"National League guys are aggressive. They hit off the fastball," added Sele, who has spent his entire career in the American League. "If you make a mistake they make you pay for it, but if you move the ball around a little bit, sink it a little bit, you're going to get groundballs."
The Phillies might have recently been the best team in baseball -- 20-6 since May 15 entering the series -- but have had no success in their brief history with Seattle. The Mariners swept the Phillies two years ago in a three-game series in Philadelphia. The Mariners have outscored the Phillies 24-8 in their five meetings while holding them to a .185 average.
Jimmy Rollins opened the game with a single to center. He then stole his 14th base on an 0-1 pitch to Kenny Lofton. After Lofton flied out, Bobby Abreu hit Sele's first pitch to right field for a RBI single. It was his 48th RBI and ended a 16-inning scoreless streak Sele had put together in his three interleague starts this season.
The Mariners responded with a pair of runs in the bottom of the inning. Suzuki, who reached 1,000 hits Tuesday, led off with a home run. He hit a 3-2 fastball from Vicente Padilla an estimated 394 feet into the seats over the right-center field fence. It was his 14th career leadoff home run, further enhancing his club record. It also was his fifth hit in five career at-bats against Padilla (3-6).
Then with one out and Raul Ibanez on first, Richie Sexson lifted a low liner into the right-field corner. It just eluded Abreu's stretch and hit the top of the wall for a double. Ibanez held at third but would come home on Jeremy Reed's sacrifice fly to right. It took 26 pitches for Padilla to escape the first.
Winn made it 3-1 with a one-out home run to right in the third. It was his second this season, coming on a 1-0 pitch from Padilla.
Padilla allowed three runs on seven hits and four walks in 5 2/3 innings.
Morse, who had three hits, finished the scoring with his two-run homer into the left-field bleachers off Ryan Madson.
"It felt great," said Morse, wiping away shaving lather from his face after a postgame cream pie. "When you hit a ball solid like that it feels really good. I just wanted to see a pitch up because I knew he wanted me to hit into a double play. I caught it good."
Sele, who threw 108 pitches in his six innings, was tested in the fifth when the Phillies mounted a two-out rally. Lofton singled to left followed by a single to center by Abreu, his third straight hit. After a double steal, Sele got Thome on for a routine flyout to center.
The Phillies, one of the best hitting NL teams all season, have been held to just two runs and 11 hits in their two losses here.
"The pitchers haven't been doing anything special," Rollins said. "They have been throwing strikes and putting us in the position where you have to swing the bat. We just have to do a better job at that."
- Much traveled outfielder Kenny Lofton stole his 550th career base in the fifth inning. That ties him with Cesar Cedeno for 25th place in baseball history.
- Catcher Pat Borders, acquired by the Mariners on May 19, is 4-1 when working Sele's starts.
- The Mariners have been held hitless in their last 25 opportunities with runners in scoring position.

2014 Nissan Versa Note Video, First Look: 2013 Detroit Auto Show
Nissan debuted its 2014 Versa Note today during the 2013 Detroit Auto Show as a less expensive, more styling and better-equipped solution to the sub-compact hatchback question.
With 24.1 cubic feet of rear cargo space, the car is a segment leader in terms of storage. Nissan also estimates that the car will get 35 mpg on average or up to 40 mpg on the highway thanks to its X-tronic CVT and active front grille shutters.
Not only that, but the brand is putting its NissanConnect infotainment system on board to include navigation and AroundView parking assistance, which gives the driver a bird's eye view of the car while trying to parallel park.
The Versa Note carries a starting MSRP of $13,990 – which is actually about $700 less than the current hatchback model and will go on sale this summer.

How Obama Has Weaponized Wit
Geege Schuman stashed this in Hilarity
Stashed in: Obama!, politics, fun
"Barack Obama would make a great stand-up comic, not because he's the funniest president ever but because he uses jokes the same way many of us comedians do: as a weapon.
Traditionally, the (intentionally) funny lines by our presidents have had one thing in common: They were self-deprecating. Sure, some presidents have used jokes to take jabs at their opponents, but not to the extent of Obama.
During his tenure, he has increasingly unleashed biting comedic barbs against his critics and political adversaries. These jokes are intended to do more than simply entertain you. They have an agenda.
Obama's humor is often delivered the way a comedian dealing with a heckler would do it. He tries to undermine his opponents with it and get the crowd -- in this case the public -- on his side. I can assure you that having a crowd laugh at your critic/heckler is not only effective in dominating them, it's also very satisfying."
His schtick was sharp (and so freaking funny!) last night at the White House Correspondents Dinner:
Entering to the rap track "All I Do Is Win" by DJ Khaled, Obama joked about how re-election would allow him to unleash a radical agenda. But then he showed a picture of himself golfing on a mock magazine cover of "Senior Leisure."
"I'm not the strapping young Socialist that I used to be," the president remarked, and then recounted his recent 2-for-22 basketball shooting performance at the White House Easter Egg hunt.
His political opponents in congress come across as joyless and humorless.
Just because he's funny doesn't mean people will work with him.
Last night's WHCD videos here. May I suggest Obama's best lines. (Or Conan's entire; I was literally cryin' laffin')
And then at the Alfred E. Smith Dinner in New York a few weeks before the most recent presidential election, Obama mocked Romney again: "Earlier today, I went shopping at some stores in Midtown. I understand Gov. Romney went shopping for some stores in Midtown."
And we even saw it on display again this week when Obama joked with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he was happy to be in the Middle East because it's, "good to get away from Congress." Clearly, Republican House Speaker John Boehner understood who Obama was targeting with this joke, telling CNN's Jake Tapper, "I'd rather be heckled than ignored."
You can dismiss these as simply jokes, but then you aren't grasping how political comedy works. These jokes are funny but also have a message embedded within. For example, the jokes about Romney intentionally furthered the image Obama wanted to paint of Mitt, namely that he was very wealthy and out of touch with the average person.
The change in presidential humor, I believe, can be traced to the influence of "The Daily Show." Since 1999, Jon Stewart has redefined political comedy, using it to entertain, educate and eviscerate. Obama and his joke-writers have simply embraced this style of political comedy to comically undermine critics.
Like it or not, those seeking the presidency in 2016 better do more than build a network of fundraisers and supporters. You'd better work on your comedic barbs, because American politics is becoming the country's toughest room to play.
Can you name any other politicians with a decent sense of humor? I guess Joe Biden...
Not sure about politicians, but this former Supreme Court Justice is hilarious.
Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer plays our game called, "Your last album was inspired by $40,000 worth of primo hash and a disembodied spirit called Sheldon."
Oh my.
"My job is to be President. Your job is to keep me humble. Frankly, I'm doing my job better."
That was the BEST line EVER. And the reaction sort of came in waves, until everyone fully got it.

2) The balance or lack thereof of the Soviet league isn't particularly important when we are talking about someone who led the league in goals multiple times. It would be relevant to margins of leading, not the fact of leading.
Seriously, the Soviet National Team completely wiped the floor with the Swedish National Team (and everyone else) in the mid-late 60s, but your claim is that
Sweden actually had better players because the Soviets tended to hoard their best players on the same team in their respective domestic leagues?
Makes no sense.
You admitted that Suchy was a drunk. Athletes who are drunks off the ice are not reliable on the ice or on a team. Not in condition to practice, require special considerations which eventually undermine team morale and performance. Phil Esposito was pretty explicit about this when talking about the Bruins and their lack of SC success.
Unless you actually saw the Swedes, Czechs and Soviets from the sixties play in Canada or televised international games. Add 6 solid minor leaguers including a good goalie to a middling junior team and the Soviet National team was very mortal playing to a .500 record even though they had the advantage of international rules.
Play them against a first year pro post Memorial Cup alumni / junior team and they get beat 9-3.

text: New Print Management Functions in Windows 7 | The DocuMentor | ZDNet.com Windows 7 introduces improvements to printing in Windows that provide increased performance and reliability for print users. For IT administrators who remotely manage network print resources, these enhancements provide more flexibility and better management overall. What are the new and changed features? Print Management provides the following new and improved features to Windows printing: Print migration enhancementsPrinter driver isolationPrint Management snap-in improvementsClient-Side Rendering (CSR) performance improvementsXML Paper Specification (XPS) print path improvementsLocation-aware printingIn addition, there are UI improvements to the Add Printer Wizard. Print migration enhancements The Printer Migration Wizard (available through the Print Management snap-in) and the Printbrm.exe command-line tool were introduced in Windows Server® 2008 and Windows Vista® to replace the Print Migrator (Printmig) utility. These enable an administrator to easily back up, restore, and migrate print queues, printer settings, printer ports, and language monitors. Enhancements to the Printer Migration Wizard and Printbrm.exe in Windows 7 provide greater flexibility and better error handling and reportingâ€â€for example, you can now restore configuration information for print servers and print queues in a backup. You can also selectively back up specific print processors and print language monitors. There is also support for print driver isolation setting migration and an option to not restore security settings for print queues during a restore operation. Printer driver isolation Prior to Windows 7, the failure of printer driver components has been a main print server support issueâ€â€the failure of a printer driver loaded onto the print spooler process would cause the process to fail, which would lead to an outage of the entire printing system. The impact of a spooler failure on a print server is particularly significant because of the large number of users and printers that are typically affected. In Windows 7, you can now configure printer driver components to run in an isolated process separate from the printer spooler process. By isolating the printer driver, you can prevent a faulty printer driver from stopping all print operations on a print server, which results in a significant increase in server reliability. In addition to the benefit of improving overall printing system stability, this new feature provides a means to isolate new drivers for testing and debugging, and to identify which printer drivers have been causing spooler failures.

Taking this further, the alignment could probably also be extended to AbstractNameMapper, which follows a similar pattern. Currently there is only one implementation, which is 'session based'. Providing an implementation based on a read tree, NameMapper and NamePathMapper instances could also be used from within oak-core. Even further this decouples ValueImple, ValueFactoryImpl and related from the session. So we could move these also to oak-core. Now while we are at it, is there then still a reason for having a CoreValue implementations and ValueImpl? Why not just make CoreValue extend javax.jcr.Value? BTW: javax.jcr.Value is indeed required in oak-core for checking value constraints on node types. Currently this is solved by introducing (yet another) value implementation: JcrValue implements javax.jcr.Value which we could get rid off at the same time also. Thoughts? Michael

Earlier this month the Court of Appeal ruled that Customs & Excise officers had breached the human rights of two non-English-speaking proprietors of a Chinese takeaway – the Murdishaw Supper Bar in Cheshire – over the non-payment of a VAT bill.
"This case could open the floodgates to appeals in hundreds of past cases where there was no recourse to interpreters and inadequate information regarding the nature of the alleged offence," predicts Michael Bailey, a partner at accountancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), which represented the two.
Customs & Excise had imposed a £67,000 civil penalty on the two Cantonese speakers, Geong Kwan Han and David Yau, who argued that they were deprived of the rights they might have been afforded in a criminal action. Their case was one of three appeals considered by the courts in Han & Yau Commissioners of Customs & Excise.
Bailey predicts a "fundamental change" in English law. "We have been able to argue that anyone charged with tax evasion or similar tax offences should have recourse to legal representation at the time of questioning, should be given the same protection as if they were tried in a criminal case and have the right to a full and fair hearing," he says.
Since the mid-1980s, Customs & Excise has been able to offer a reduced civil penalty, as opposed to a criminal sanction, if parties cooperate with an investigation. The level of the penalty is reduced in line with the degree of cooperation offered by the parties. In the Han and Yau case, the defendants were offered a 10 per cent reduction for 'partial assistance'.
Such civil proceedings have the advantage of sparing parties a criminal record and ultimately jail; but, as was argued in the Court of Appeal, they lack the protections offered to defendants in criminal cases. It was argued successfully that the imposition of a penalty amounted to a criminal procedure and consequently the defendants should have been afforded the same rights as someone charged with a criminal offence under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the right to a fair and public hearing.
It was a point made forcibly in Han & Yau, as neither party could hold a fluent conversation in English, let alone understand the mysteries of the tax system. Barrister Andrew Young is employed by PwC and acted on behalf of the defendants at both the tribunal and before the Court of Appeal. He believes that the predicament of Han and Yau is far from rare. "If one analyses the last three years of appeals before the VAT and Duties Tribunal against civil proceedings and looks at the names, one finds that the majority are non-Anglo-Saxon."
The owners of high street takeaways are not the typical clients of accountancy giant PwC. Young came across Han and Yau when representing another client at a VAT and Duties Tribunal in Manchester. He ended up representing the two restaurateurs because he was eager to have his own client before the tribunal as soon as possible, and they were due to appear before him without a lawyer. "But it also meant that I'd make out their application properly," he adds.
However, it soon became apparent that the lawyer could not communicate with his new clients. One could not speak any English at all and the other had only the most rudimentary grasp of the language. "But even with a limited amount of English, tax points are complicated and people don't understand what's going on," Young says. "In this case, Customs & Excise had inferred dishonesty and how on earth they'd managed to do that I really don't know."
According to the lawyer, the case also highlights another worrying aspect of such tax investigations – the inequality of arms that often frequently exists between state and tax-payer. "If you take a situation where you have two unemployed Chinese waiters – because that was the reality of the situation – how can they afford to stand up to counsel instructed on behalf of the commissioners?" he asks. In the case of Han and Yau, the commissioners for Customs & Excise retained leading and junior counsel, whereas the two men had no representation in the early stages of the case.
"There are lots of people who have linguistic difficulties and little funding going against the full might of state," argues Young. "That situation has caused the most tremendous inequality of arms. It's unfair, and it's been unfair for a very long time."
It has been a human rights challenge waiting to happen, reckons Greg Sinfield, a tax partner at Lovells. "As soon as the act was introduced last year, the tax journals and conferences were awash with people speculating as to what the impact of the act might be, and this was the most obvious," he says.
In fact, the first such challenge came on 3 October, only days into the new human rights regime. Perhaps as an indication of the importance attached to Han & Yau, the case made the journey from tribunal to Court of Appeal in only five months. "I've never seen a case move so quickly," says one tax lawyer. Another believes that more than 100 cases were stalled to wait on this month's judgment.
"I've had clients who've been investigated by Customs in connection with penalties, where it appears that the safeguards that are provided in relation to criminal matters have not been present," acknowledges Sinfield. "It may have placed my clients in a worse position than they should have been placed in."
While many tax law practitioners welcome the enforcement of the rights of tax-payers, at the same time they fear that this month's ruling might force Customs & Excise to pursue more criminal prosecutions. "It's good that people who are subject to investigations by the tax authorities are given the same protection as those subject to criminal investigation," says Sarah Gabriel, a partner at white collar crime practice Peters & Peters. "But we'll have to see how it works out in practice, because it would be unfortunate if it undermined the civil system."
Maurice Martin, senior partner at London practice Tarlo Lyons, compares the civil penalty regime used by Customs & Excise with the approach taken by the Inland Revenue. The Inland Revenue has adopted the 'Hansard procedure' since at least 1944, so-called because of a question raised in Parliament about the Inland Revenue's policy on the exercise of civil or criminal sanctions.
"The answer given by the Government was that the Inland Revenue has its own discretion, but if there's been a full disclosure and the tax-payer wants to make a full confession, they may go down a civil route," explains Martin. "In practice, where they give you the Hansard procedure, they never prosecute. It's an unwritten rule."
Over the past year, Customs & Excise has been piloting its own version of the Hansard procedure. Of course, for practitioners and tax-payers alike, a civil settlement will always be a better option than – as Martin points out – "running the risk of being taken to court, prosecuted and going to prison".
He continues: "The worry about the Han and Yau case is that they may cause doubt to the tax authorities as to whether they should continue these procedures. They could end up being counter-productive, because if the authorities perceive difficulties in the civil route, they might decide to take more criminal proceedings."
Sidney Myers, a litigation partner at Allen & Overy who specialises in tax and regulatory disputes, believes that Han & Yau has a potential impact beyond the world of tax. As he points out, a civil matter under English law can be deemed criminal for the purposes of the ECHR, as incorporated into domestic law by the Human Rights Act 1998.
"Tax penalties are but one species of proceedings that don't fit neatly into the criminal/civil divide," he argues, before citing as an example proceedings that will be undertaken by the new Financial Services Authority (FSA). He also cites the new controversial offence of market abuse under the Financial Services and Markets Act, which could land someone with an unlimited fine if they make a misleading statement about a company's business or the value of its shares. It was argued in Parliament that market abuse was criminal for ECHR purposes. "But the Government and the treasury disagreed and a compromise was agreed in the act where market abuse had some additional safeguards; but they're limited," says Myers.
Myers welcomes the judgment. "Personally, I think that it's only right that people who don't speak good English should have a proper interpreter," he says. However, he believes that the 2:1 split in the Court of Appeal is revealing of the court's ambivalence to the Human Rights Act. In particular, he flags up the dissenting comments of the retired judge Sir Martin Nourse.
"We were consistently told by those who advocated the incorporation of the convention in our law that it would enable our courts to make a beneficial contribution to its jurisprudence," said Nourse. "In my opinion, that contribution ought to start with a recognition of the widely differing traditions and institutions of the community states."
"If you look at the ruling, you see a reluctant judgment," notes Young, who also picks up on the dissenting comments. But he contends that the civil penalties flow from a European directive on VAT and consequently the principles of European law should be applied.
"The judges have tried to do as little violence as they can to the existing status quo," says Young. "But the problem is that you cannot dilute some of these principles. They won't go away."
|A victory for employed barristers?
| The Bar Council's rules on non-practising barristers (NPBs) caused extra problems in the case of Han & Yau Commissioners of Customs & Excise.
"Absolutely ludicrous" is the frank assessment of barrister Andrew Young of the regulations. Introduced last year, the regulations mean that many NPBs will no longer be able to call themselves a barrister. Young, formerly of Deloitte & Touche, is employed by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
NPBs are distinguished from employed barristers because they can advise both their employers and their employers' clients, while employed barristers can advise only the former. Some NPBs will retain their professional title until July 2005, but only if they were registered as NPBs before last July's deadline. The remainder have had to remove the word 'barrister' from their job description. They must now call themselves something else, such as legal adviser.
"Under Article 6 of the ECHR [European Convention on Human Rights], anybody charged with a crime has a right to be represented by a person of their choosing, and my clients chose me," explains the barrister. Young applied to the Bar Council for a waiver, which would allow him to represent his clients. He was supported by John Morgan in his application, who represents NPBs on the council.
His clients ended up instructing Eleanor Sharpston QC of 4 Paper Buildings. "I'm qualified, capable and competent, and on these matters I know as much as anyone," says Young. Ultimately, Young was allowed to represent Han and Yau, making him the first barrister employed by an accountancy firm to be granted a right of audience to represent their client in the Court of Appeal.
At the council's recent annual conference, Young recounted another experience before the VAT and Duties Tribunal, where the chairman referred to Young as 'counsel'. He had to point out that, under instructions from the Bar Council, he was not allowed to describe himself as counsel, barrister or employed barrister.
Young says: 'I'm allowed to set myself up in the high street of Ascot as a butcher and call myself a practising barrister and sell meat, but what I'm not allowed to do is tell anyone to whom I provide legal services that I'm a barrister."
Following Young's contribution, a barrister explained to the conference that, as he was speaking on a Saturday, perhaps he ought to introduce himself to delegates as "a practising non-practising Jew".
The 'barrister' is considering bringing an action against the Bar Council "as a matter of principle", to assert the right of NPBs to call themselves barristers. "The Bar Council is treating a lot of people unfairly; it's absolutely wrong, and I don't know anyone who actually agrees with it," says Young.

text: Kilning is a method used after air drying to bring timber down to a moisture content suitable for its use. Air dried timber outside in stick would only reach an average moisture content of 18-24% average moisture content after a period of air drying for several years. The average humidity of an internal structure today is 10/12%. Kiln dried timber has to be kilned to this moisture to eliminate movement. Timber that is air dried in stick is put into a kiln chamber. The kiln chamber is heated with water and steam to make the wood more pliable, fans then used for air movement and vents to extract the steam. Kilning is very specialized and not many companies kiln today. Without kilning timber, the timber would move as the final moisture is achieved. Associated Timber owns a state of the art biomass boiler to use all onsite offcuts and waste to kiln dry without fossil fuel.
