It can get pretty tedious typing in h-t-t-p-colon-backslash-backslash-w-w-w-dot-whatever-dot-c-o-m. So next time you're in a hurry and don't want to bother with all of that, try this…
Type the name of the site in the address bar and press Ctrl while you hit Enter . The "www" and ".com" will be added automatically for you. Ta dah!

If it's not on the "side of ball that we would expect," I'm guessing it ain't Cam.
Special teams has been spectacular all year. I can't remember their last bad play before yesterday's punt return.
Defense: two of the top 3 corners out, Cary "where's the ball" Williams is the #1; three of the top 4 LB/DE's out, and two more hurt yesterday. If Pees is out, Cam must have incriminating photos of the entire Ravens front office.
Offense: when has so much talent accomplished so little when it really mattered? Throw out Game 1, where Cam had 9 months to plan, and the game against the hopeless Raiders, and it's a pretty grim picture.
This team could easily lose their remaining games and miss the playoffs.
To most fans that don't follow Ravens they see our defense struggling and are use to us having a mediocre offense. I still see that statement as offensive side.
WE expect it to be Offense
The national media still see's Flacco as the primary issue so they'd probably be surprised is Cameron was gone.

i never liked dubai, but that's not why i'm writing about this story - i'm sure you've heard about this girl who was jailed for 23 days then deported to the uk and denied access to dubai forever, for supposedly kissing a guy in public!
people always praise dubai, they like its lifestyle, its high towers and shiny hotels... but all that glitters is not gold and there's a dark side to dubai's glamor..
dubai's glamor lacks law and justice, how can someone prove his innocence there.. the brit claims the kiss never happened, but the woman who saw her with a group of male friends and reported her claims otherwise - my question is, how can you prove that the kiss ever happened? what if the lady was very bad-looking or simply jealous and wanted to get even with destiny..
it is scary to see your life being completely ruined for something so silly..

Hopefully you get the idea. Second grub if different than lilo the kernel and its parameters must all be placed on one line. The kernel is normally located on the /boot partition.

J.Crew CEO Mickey Drexler Joins Warby Parker Board Of Directors
Drexler had already been serving as an advisor to Warby Parker's founders and personally invested in the eyeglasses startup earlier this year.
J.Crew CEO Mickey Drexler has joined the board of directors at cool-kids eyeglasses purveyor Warby Parker.
The CEO has had ties with the young startup for more than two years, both as an investor in the company and as an advisor to its four founders.
Drexler, who also sits on Apple's board, is just the third non-founder to join Warby Parker's, alongside Tiger Global's Lee Fixel and General Catalyst's Joel Cutler.

Best day ever!
"Sports overload: 2 MLB playoff games, Ducks on ESPN + Thurs. Night Football. Woohoo!"
That's what I tweeted last night in preparation for today. I am going to be a major couch potato. Here's what I hope happens.
After Game 4 was postponed yesterday, the Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees are set to resume their League Championship Series today. I am hopeful that Prince Fielder and Miguel Cabrera can take it to the Yankees and sweep the series. I predict A-Rod stays out of the line up again tonight.
As the St. Louis Cardinals take a 2-1 lead over San Francisco in their League Championship Series, the Giants have a chance to even it up tonight. That three and a half hour rain delay was such a bummer yesterday. My local Fox affiliate was going crazy trying to fill the time with worthless news and weather updates and Family Guy reruns. My hope is that the Giants produce some offense tonight and tie this series up.
The now #3 ranked Oregon Ducks face Pac-12 rival Arizona State tonight. The game is set to be broadcast on one of the ESPN channels. I can't keep track of them all. Soon there will be an all ESPN Synchronized swimming channel. In any case, the Ducks and their high-powered offense, under the direction of Heisman buzz-worthy quarterback Marcus Mariota, should be able to overcome the Sun Devils.
And finally, there is Thursday Night Football. This day is so crowded with good, televised sports, TNF is almost an afterthought. Don't worry, I have TIVO. San Francisco sports fans are going to have to set their TIVOS too as they decide to watch either the Giants tonight or the 49ers. It's the MLB playoffs, watch the Giants. I do think the 49ers will win tonight, though the Seattle Seahawks' defense is almost as tough as San Francisco's.
So get ready for a momentous day sports fans. Pull out the Oreos and your comfortable slippers. Curl up in the Lazy-Boy with the remote in hand and root for your favorites. And don't call me on the phone because that's what I'll be doing, rooting for the Tigers, Giants, Ducks and 49ers, and I won't answer.

Pull out your Roget's Thesaurus and take your pick of a panoply of adjectives to describe this story by the CBC's Kathy Tomlinson: B.C. woman may lose home over huge lawyer bill:
A B.C. woman stands to lose her home to her lawyer, who is moving to foreclose on her to pay his six-figure bill.
"My friends and family say this can't be happening. There's got to be a mistake," Dale Fotsch said.
Fotsch got into the predicament after being sued by her former common-law husband, even though she won the case and the court ordered him to pay her costs.
"I won, but I lost," Fotsch said. "I defended myself and now I'm losing my place."
Fotsch, 54, lives near Pemberton with her disabled son and earns a modest income. Her only asset is her home and the 12 hectares of land it sits on.
"I've worked two jobs, and I have for the last 25 years," Fotsch said. "When I was hit with this, it was just like a bomb went off in my life."
The divorce proceedings were brought by Ms. Fotsch's common law ex-husband Leigh Wilson who claimed a share of her home (presumably as a matrimonial home) following their break-up. Nine years later, the case resolved, but not in any way she expected.
Admittedly, Vancouver divorce lawyer Jonas Dubas charged $300 an hour, but that"s hardly extravagant compared to what divorce lawyers charge in Vancouver, Toronto or Montreal.
The fact that Dubas' "invoices to Fotsch include charges like $148.40 to simply call another lawyer and leave a voicemail message" suggest he enjoys the sound of his own mellifluous voice. I mean, nearly 30 minutes for a voicemail message? Really? Was he reciting the Rime of the Ancient Mariner or Gilgamesh to opposing counsel?
Reading between the lines—and nearly 1000 irate comments on the CBC article— this story makes all lawyers, not just family law lawyers, look really, really, really bad. Why? Because the public has a preconceived notion that all lawyers care about is lining their pockets at the expense of their clients.
I cringe when I read media reports about lawyers who care only about getting paid, at all costs. Of course, we lawyers deserve to get paid for our work, when it is competent, reasonable and proportional to the value of the dispute.
What grinds my gears is that according to Ms. Fotsch the case took "years longer than her lawyer had predicted". This happens on occasion. Dilatory tactics, lack of court resources and scheduling problems. The B.C. Court of Appeal judgment granting Fotsch's appeal of the trial judge's decision on unjust enrichment and awarding her 90% of her court costs only resulted in Wilson declaring bankruptcy. Aye, there's the rub.
As my good friend, Scott Greenfield adeptly replied on Twitter:
Matrimonial law is indeed a horrible practice all around. If it reflects the worst in all of us, then the mirror cracks when one sees that "her lawyer said he wouldn't continue unless she allowed him to secure a $100,000 mortgage against her property, at 18 per cent interest per year."
Access to Justice (or A2J) is a perennial topic. Everyone jumps on the bandwagon to point the finger at the legal system and the legal profession in denying lower and middle-class litigants their "day in court". Even the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada, Madam Justice Beverly McLachlin weighed in a few years ago:
Middle-class Canadians are increasingly frozen out by the cost and complexity of Canada's judicial processes, says the chief justice of the Supreme Court.
A Canadian of average means may have to consider remortgaging their home, gambling their retirement savings or forsaking their child's college fund to pursue justice, Beverley McLachlin told a crowd of about 150 in Toronto Thursday.
"Access to justice is quite simply critical. Unfortunately, many Canadian men and women find themselves unable, mainly for financial reasons, to access the Canadian justice system. Some of them become their own lawyers, or try to," she said. "Hard hit are average middle-class Canadians."
Those with some income and a few assets may be ineligible for legal aid and therefore without choices, said McLachlin. "Their options are grim: use up the family assets in litigation; become their own lawyers or give up. The result may be injustice."
Access problems, long trials, delays and deeply rooted social problems challenge a court system that, she said, is nonetheless the envy of other nations.
Injustice is, at times, compounded when people choosing to represent themselves are without the proper legal knowledge to do so. In some courts, more than 44 per cent of cases involve a self-represented litigant, she said.
Earlier this year, Jamie McLaren over at slaw.ca suggested a "Pay or Play for A2J" model:
As part of his or her annual professional membership fees, a lawyer pays a $300 "A2J Contribution" (an amount roughly equivalent to the average hourly rate among Canadian lawyers) that is earmarked for direct funding of the province's legal aid and public interest legal organizations. If a lawyer provided and recorded one or more hours of legal aid, pro bono or public legal education service in the previous year— as administered and verified by specific organizations— then his or her A2J Contribution is waived. Thus lawyers "pay or play" to promote access to justice.
The problem is systemic and market-driven. Procedural justice and substantive justice are two-sides of a very shiny, rare coin.
I don't have a panacea for the A2J crisis, but I do have a few questions about this sordid tale
1. Consider the following Minute from the Ethics Committee of Law Society of British Columbia on the ethics of a lawyer taking a mortgage to secure fees in the subject-matter of the litigation:
So, according to the Law Society of British Columbia, a lawyer is not in a conflict of interest when funding the litigation, but must withdraw when joined as a party to the litigation involving foreclosure of the property. This is plain wrong. A lawyer is in a conflict of interest the moment he or she takes collateral from the client as security for future payment of fees. The client may waive the conflict of interest if the client obtains independent legal advice. Whether this happened in Ms. Fotsch's case is unclear, but what is evident is that technical compliance with the rules of professional conduct is the bare minimum: Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.
2. When Dubas realized that the cost award would never get paid by Wilson, did he advise his client to file an opposition to Wilson's petition in bankruptcy?
3. Did Dubas obtain any security for costs before Wilson's bankruptcy?
4. Did Dubas suggest alternatives to funding the litigation, including her first mortgagee or a secondary lender willing to offer a more reasonable interest rate?
5. Did Dubas consider waiving the interest payments accrued that have nearly doubled the amount of the original mortgage?
6. Does Dubas realize how bad this looks? Does he even care?

What better way to use up all of that zucchini than in a delicious low carb, gluten-free chocolate bundt cake? This post is sponsored by Safest Choice Eggs.
My town just north of Boston isn't the most exciting place to live. It's what you might call a little sleepy. There isn't much happening here and for a city kid who grew up around the hustle and bustle of downtown Toronto, it's often too quiet. It's a good location with a good school system for my kids, but I find it a bit too suburban for my tastes. There is one thing, however, that I absolutely adore about it, and that's our really great farmer's market. It's a surprisingly good one, with a wide variety of vendors. It was brand new the first year we lived in the area, and it's grown to be one of the more popular markets in all the surrounding towns. And now it extends well beyond the summer and into October.
Because it's New England, our growing season is short and our produce selection is more limited than other regions. We simply don't have the climate for some of the more exotic fruits and vegetables. But it's always so fun to see what the vendors have on offer and what changes through the season. Zucchini seems to grow really well in this climate. It's been available since mid-July and it's still going strong, so I pick up a few every time I go. I've had zero luck growing it myself, and it's such an inexpensive, versatile ingredient. We eat a lot of it every summer, but my kids generally don't like it unless it's baked into something. There is just something about baked goods with zucchini that appeal to everyone.
My kids hovered over me as I made this low carb Chocolate Zucchini Bundt Cake to test out my new bundt pan. And I was more than happy to let them lick the beaters and the bowl clean, because I used the pasteurized shell eggs from Safest Choice. I am an incurable batter-licker myself – I don't feel like I have a sense of how my baked goods will turn out unless I taste the batter. And good thing too, because I have forgotten the sweetener on occasion and I catch it just in time by taste-testing!
When I've developed recipes for Safest Choice before, I've tended to make things that take raw eggs, like chocolate mousse and salad dressing, to showcase the safety factor. But it's worth noting that they bake and cook just as well as unpasteurized eggs. And if you're an incurable batter taster like me, choosing Safest Choice eggs means you aren't taking your life in your hands when you're craving some Chocolate Zucchini Bundt Cake!
Disclosure: This post is sponsored by Safest Choice Eggs, as they are helping me pay my way to International Food Bloggers Conference. All thoughts, opinions, recipes and photography are my own.
Chocolate Zucchini Bundt Cake - Low Carb and Gluten-Free
What better way to use up all of that zucchini than in a delicious low carb, gluten-free chocolate bundt cake? Topped with chocolate glaze for an extra special treat.
- 2 cups finely grated zucchini (8 ounces)
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups almond flour (Honeyville)
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup Coconut flour
- 1/3 cup unflavoured whey protein powder
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
- 1/2 cup butter
- 2/3 cup Swerve Sweetener or erythritol
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 tsp stevia
- 1/2 cup almond milk
- 5 tbsp butter
- 2 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 2 tbsp powdered Swerve Sweetener or erythritol
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp stevia extract
- For the cake, place zucchini in a sieve and sprinkle liberally with salt. Mix to combine and let drain 1 hour. press to release most of the excess liquid and set aside.
- Preheat oven to 325F and grease a large bundt pan well.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut flour, whey protein, baking powder, cinnamon and xanthan gum.
- In a large bowl, beat butter and Swerve until well combined. Beat in eggs, zucchini, vanilla and stevia.
- Beat in almond flour mixture in two batches, alternating with almond milk, until well combined.
- Spread batter in prepared pan and smooth the top.
- Bake 45 minutes or until set and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Let cool in pan 15 minutes, and then flip out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- For the glaze, melt butter, chocolate and erythritol together in heatproof bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water (do not let the bottom of the bowl touch the water). Stir in cocoa powder, vanilla and stevia until smooth. Remove from heat and let cool 5 to 10 minutes, until thicker but still pourable.
- Pour over cooled cake.

The increase in ad impressions reveals a large jump in sales of the $199.99 amazon Kindle Fire for the Christmas holiday season. The more impressions loaded on a particular device usually means that more people are using that device. With the season over, it should be interesting to see if the low-price of the Amazon Kindle Fire will continue to drive sales to the tablet. Or, will higher spec'd devices like the Tegra 3, quad-core powered Asus Transformer Prime start to pick up business. Since buying holiday gifts is no longer on everyone's mind, price might be less important to tablet buyers from now until next November.

I have a typical California, generic, west coast accent, but sometimes my father's Texas accent comes out - Ick!I get you. I had a lisp too until I got braces. I also have a strong southern accent that escapes me sometimes.I actually speak that way sometimes. I had a lisp as a child (did speech therapy) and now my MS sometimes makes it hard to speak clearly so I tend to enunciate as clear as possible especially when I'm speaking in public. It might look like I'm overdoing it to some people, but that's how I speak. I've only watched her leave in video, but I know what you mean.
You're exaggerating. Chicoro's book was number one in the beauty books on Amazon following Kim's review. The products didn't fly off the shelves. The article stated that where she lived kinky curly sold better because her recommendation in her leave-in concoction. A lot of youtubers, after becoming relatively well-known, launch their own product lines. Black oynxx is an example. She seems like your standard upper middle class woman to me. No need to make such a huge deal about.
I do, however, wish her success because her videos are helpful, even though her voice can be annoying. She tends to over enunciate and some take that as condescending, but she has foreign viewers as well so I guess that's why.
I know you're talking about KT, but it a sensitive subject for me sometimes.

Big Six energy provider E.ON today announced that profits from supplying UK households and businesses jumped more than a quarter in 2013, after it hiked prices by 8.7% in January last year.
E.ON, which has eight million UK household gas and electricity customers, reported a £296 million profit from UK energy provision for 2013, a 26% jump on the previous year, as sales rose 6% to £434 million. The group raised its prices by a further 3.7% in January this year.
E.ON UK boss Tony Cocker made no mention of the price rise as he unveiled the profits.
"A prolonged period of cold weather at the beginning of 2013 coupled with a continued drive to keep down the costs we control have contributed to an increase in the money we earned," he said.
However, that comes against a backdrop of falling profits from generating energy and on its "upstream" business such as gas exploration and production.
UK profits from generation, upstream and other business fell from £591 million in 2012 to £388 million in 2013.Reuse content

Alki Homestead nearing pivotal decision; RAFN Company chosen to oversee process
Restoration cost must be close to $2 million or another path might be an option
A private meeting in August on the potential fate of the historic Alki Homestead led to an onsite visit in September from most of those who were present and some important decisions.
As the West Seattle Herald reported on Aug. 28, the meeting included Nicholas Vann (Historic Architect) Allyson Brooks Phd. (State Historic Preservation Officer) both with the Washington State Dept. of Archaeology and Historic Preservation, Karen Gordon (Historic Preservation Officer, City of Seattle Dept. of Neighborhoods), Kathleen Brooker (Director, Historic Seattle), and Jennifer Meisner (Director, Washington Trust for Historic Preservation) and previously unannounced Seattle City Councilmember Tom Rasmussen and his assistant Ed Murray. Reid Severson, a financial intern accompanied Lin to the meeting.
The onsite visit to the Homestead on Sept. 27 included Lin, structural engineer Todd Perbix (whose firm Perbix-Bykonen has done an extensive study of the building) and Steven Pfeiffer, Engineering and Technical Codes Manager of the Seattle Department of Planning and Development plus Gordon, Brooks and Vann. The group agreed on the basic framework of what needed to happen and to meet again in mid October. "The City was very helpful in setting the guidelines going forward and Karen Gordon was instrumental in letting us know what the Board can live with," said Lin. Lin also praised the DPD for their setting of the parameters for restoration. "It's no longer a moving target," he said.
In the first meeting, Lin was asked to look for a general contractor and he contacted the RAFN Company. "We chose RAFN," said owner Tom Lin, "because of their work in restoring the Cadillac Hotel in Pioneer Square."
A site visit was made by Steve Stroming Senior Project Manager of the RAFN Company on Oct. 16 to look over the building. At a second onsite meeting on Oct. 20 between Lin, Perbix, Stroming and log building expert Mark Fritch it was agreed to get a firm bid for restoration.
Fritch, whose great grandfather actually built the Homestead, expressed his belief that there are too many unknown factors, which would likely drive up the cost to develop a firm bid. "Fritch will deliver a bid based on the requirements," said Lin but he expected it to be high due to the uncertainty.
RAFN is now in the process of getting other expert log builders to bid on the project.
The group will meet again on Nov. 5 to get a second and third bid for the log work only.
"Once we get the cost, we will see if it can be done or not," said Lin, "after that we can decide which route to take."
For Lin the cost has to be under $2 million (or close to it) and, since the cost of the land at the moment is approximately $1.5 million the total project value would be $3.5 million. He said he will go forward with the restoration if that financial target can be met.
If it exceeds that total he said, "I will see how much money I can raise myself, from personal loans. Banks won't lend at that point because the numbers won't work." Lin means that for the Homestead to be restored, and made into a viable restaurant, banquet, meeting facility it has to be able to pay off a loan at a reasonable rate, from the business it generates. "I've already spoken to the bank."
Within that financial range it becomes feasible because Lin would finally get a $400,000 insurance settlement (predicated on the building's restoration) and would most likely get a %20 tax credit by gaining certification of being part of the National Historic Register. On a $2 million dollar project, that's another $400,000 saved. That certification would go ahead, if approved, by the Washington State Department of Archaeology and, the federal Department of the Interior. Given all this it means that the total loan would be $1.2 million but, "even at that number the banks are unwilling to lend." The restaurant as it originally existed doesn't have the cash flow history to support that loan amount.
There is another financial path Lin suggested however.
He said he'd love to see the City of Seattle guarantee the loan. That's a path he suggests that might make the banks more willing to provide the financing. "That's an alternative. Isn't that what they are doing for the stadium? So why shouldn't they do it for this project? If they think the building is worth it shouldn't they guarantee the loan? if worse came to worst they could have the building. A guarantee of the loan doesn't cost them a penny. If they did it and the interest rate was lower, it makes the project even more feasible."

Updated to cover Flash MX, the newest version of Macromedia Flash, ActionScript for Flash MX: The Definitive Guide, Second Edition is the one book no serious Flash developer should be without.ActionScript is Macromedia's programming language for Flash MX, the popular authoring tool for creating rich internet applications and animations for the Web. With Macromedia's new focus on application development, ActionScript now includes a direct drawing API, loading of external MP3 and JPG files, improved sound control, an extensive set of text formatting tools, complete support for component development using movie clip subclasses, local data storage, accessibility features, and much more. And ActionScript for Flash MX: The Definitive Guide is the most complete, up-to-date reference available for the latest version of this language.Author Colin Moock, one of the most universally respected developers in the Flash community, has added hundreds of new code examples to show new Flash MX techniques in the real world: how to draw circles, save data to disk, convert arrays to onscreen tables, create reusable components, and preload variables, XML, and sounds. The book's language reference alone has nearly doubled from the first edition, with more than 250 new classes, objects, methods, and properties. You'll find exhaustive coverage of dozens of undocumented, under-documented, and mis-documented features.Along with the new material, Colin Moock has meticulously revised the entire text to conform to Flash MX best-coding practices. In particular, objected-oriented programming and the new event model get special attention in light of changes to Flash MX ActionScript. From sending data between two movies to creating getter/setter properties, the new edition of this book demystifies the often-confusing new features of Flash MX, giving developers easy access to its powerful new capabilities.ActionScript for Flash MX: The Definitive Guide is structured so non-programmers can learn how to use ActionScript and programmers can take their skills to new heights. If you are in the market to really learn about the hows and whys of ActionScript, then this is the book for you.

Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. The animal on the cover of ActionScript for Flash MX: The Definitive Guide, Second Edition, is a siren, a particular type of salamander found in North American freshwater habitats. Salamanders are amphibians with tails; they diverged from other amphibian species (including frogs) early in amphibian evolution. All salamanders have smooth skin that is kept moist by secretions from numerous glands. When their environment becomes too dry, too hot, or too cold, the cold-blooded salamanders burrow into mud, and their body functions slow down.Sirens develop cocoons to shelter themselves until conditions improve. Sirens are considered very primitive salamanders, as they are aquatic (live permanently in water), lack hind legs, have reduced front legs, gills, and other larval features into maturity, and their offspring are fertilized externally in the water. They are active at night, coming out and swimming much like eels do, using their dorsal fin in side-to-side motion to propel them forward. As they do so, they feed by gulping at insects and larvae. They expel plant matter through their gills.Like all amphibians, sirens are an important part of a balanced ecosystem. They are small predators who in turn are preyed upon by fish and birds. Their glandular skin and fragile systems put sirens in the unfortunate position of being early pollution indicators in their freshwater habitats. Siren intermedia, an unusual siren subspecies that inhabits a large North American range and is known for its ability to produce vocal clicks and shrills, has nearly disappeared from Michigan, perhaps due to the presence of Rotenone, a chemical tool used to manage fisheries.

ActionScript for Flash MX: The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition Review
By Charles Campbell
I purchased this book about a year ago and was blown away after reading it. It really got me into the world of Actionscript. Code that I had copy and pasted now makes so much more sense and I find myself coming up with new codes everyday. I recommend this book to anyone thats serious about wanting to get into Actionscript. The book is written for the non-programmer yet if you have any previous programming experience I'm sure it wouldn't hurt. I'm waiting for an update for Actionscript 2.0 and I'm currently reading through the book for the second time to help reinforce everything I've already read about.Overall excellent book!
By James Parkwood
This review is half for ASDG1 and ASDG2. I bought ASDG1 a while back; after having read reviews online, I decided that it was the best book for my money, and also the likeliest to teach a non-programmer how to dive into Actionscript. I also was a frequenter of Colin's site (moock.org) and knew that he knew his stuff!ASDG1 taught me not only Actionscript for Flash 5 but how to approach problems from a programmer's position. After having read the book cover-to-cover (okay, so I didn't read the whole language reference) I was able to tackle PHP with almost no difficulty. Colin's ability to teach programming thru prose is astounding, I had no trouble tackling the concepts presented in the book. If only as a programming primer this either edition of this book is excellent!The language reference is something that no Flash programmer should be without, spanning 500+ pages it coveres in depth all of the material in the non-updated Flash help/documentation, correcting and bringing to light things that were not mentioned. I only recently received my copy of ASDG2 and and extremely pleased with it. It covers many of the newly added features present in Flash 6 (communication server and other related technologies are not covered), such as the drawing API, the enhanced event model and refinements to existing objects. Building off all the strengths present in ASDG1 and going beyond, ASDG2 is the best way to learn the ropes of the ActionScript language. Instead of learning how to make movieclips or just a bunch of canned tricks, ASDG teaches you how to program inside of Actionscript, building each level on previous chapters. Definately worth picking up if you want to get started programming for the web or just want to make your flash movies more powerful and interactive.

Does it make sense for the Weinsteins, after falling so short of box office expectations due (they believe) to the extended running time of Grindhouse, to release both movies that made up the double feature as separate entities for U.S. audiences?
According to Harvey Weinstein in an interview posted on Deadline Hollywood, yes, it would.
Personally I'm not against the idea. Hell, it played as a double feature and no one got it, but at least we got to see it the way the filmmakers intended. How often does that happen these days? Plus the Weinstein brother said if Planet Terror and Death Proof were put out on their own, they'd get additional footage that we haven't seen yet. Yes, please!
The question is one of cost. They'd have to re-market both movies as separate films, hope there's enough time to get them out there before the juggernaut that is Spider Man 3 hits next month and figure out what they're going to do to make back all the money they've already spent on it.
We'll keep our ears and eyes open and let you know when we hear more. As you should be aware, both films already have planned separate DVD releases as well, so perhaps a move like this could work in the discs' favor, as well. And be sure to hit the link above to read the entire article; good stuff!

Hello Everyone:
I recently (4 days ago) received my Steinhart from the good folks in Germany. I LOVE the looks and heft of this watch.
Here is my question though.....
I know that you are not supposed to set the date between the hours of 9-3. I am assuming they are referring to 2100-0300. So, when I set the time on the new Steinhart it was early afternoon on Thursday and proceeded to set the date also. If I remember correctly, the time of setting was mid-afternoon.... maybe 1400 to 1600 local. Don't remember exactly. The date was set at this time too.
Today, while the wife was writing a note for one of the kids for school, she asked me what the date was. When I looked at my new Steiny it showed the 22nd. Roh Oh. I knew that was not correct. So what is up with this. Why the correct date for 4 days and now it is (or was, because I reset the date this morning) off by one day?
I did a search function here and could not find anything definitive. I really hope I do not have to send my new beauty back

NRA-ILA today March 10. CT, DE, IL, KS, MS, NE, NH, OH, PA, SC, SD.
(***For all of the action items below, you can find contact information
for your legislators by using the "Write Your Representatives" tool at
www.NRAILA.org. As always, thank you for your support.***)
States with updates this issue: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois,
Kansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South
Carolina, South Dakota.
Unfortunately, the Connecticut General Assembly's Environment Committee
omitted important language when drafting Senate Bill 605. SB 605 allows
the Department of Environmental Protection to designate areas that would
be open to Sunday hunting on private property. As drafted, the bill
would regrettably apply only to bow hunters and would not include
individuals who hunt with firearms. NRA anticipated SB 605 would
include rifles and shotguns. Without an amendment, Sunday hunting in
Connecticut will not be open to individuals who hunt with rifles and
shotguns. SB 605 is scheduled to be heard on Friday, March 17. Please
call the Co-Chairmen of the Environment Committee, Senator Bill Finch
(D-22), at (800) 842-1420, and Representative Richard Roy (D-119), at
(800) 842-8267, and tell them you support expanding Sunday hunting
opportunities beyond bow hunting only. In addition, please plan on
attending what promises to be one of the largest and most successful
Friends of NRA events in the country, on March 24, 2006, in Southington.
Limited edition firearms, knives, art prints, and other collectibles
will be offered for sale, at auction, or given away in special drawings.
50% of the net proceeds from the event will go to qualified projects in
Connecticut, with the remaining 50% benefiting national programs. The
event will take place at the beautiful Aqua Turf Restaurant on Mulberry
Street, in Southington. It will start at 6:00 p.m., and will feature a
delicious meal prepared by the Aqua Turf. For tickets, directions, or
more information, please call Chairman Ray Hanley at (203) 264-4899.
The Delaware General Assembly reconvenes on Tuesday, March 14, after a
six-week break for budget hearings. One of the first pieces of
legislation that will be considered is HB 359 (sponsored by
Representative Deborah Hudson (R-12), a "shall issue" Right-to-Carry
bill that gives law-abiding citizens the Right-to-Carry concealed
firearms for personal protection. Your lawmakers need to hear from you.
Please be sure to e-mail your legislators before Tuesday and ask them
to support HB 359. You can find your lawmaker's e-mail address by
visiting www.legis.state.de.us/Legislature.nsf?Open. Please be sure to
send an e-mail TODAY in support of HB 359!
Illinois will hold primary elections on Tuesday, March 21. NRA members
are encouraged to head to the polls and vote for those candidates who
support our Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Please be sure to encourage
your family, friends, and fellow firearm owners to do the same. You can
vote early starting February 27, and ending March 16. For a list of
early voting locations in your area, please contact your county election
official. Please visit
for county election official contact information. For NRA-PVF
endorsement information, NRA members are encouraged to call the NRA-ILA
Grassroots Division at (800) 392-VOTE (8683). Further information will
be posted soon to the NRA-PVF website at www.NRAPVF.org. Be sure to
"Vote Freedom First!" on Tuesday, March 21!
On Monday morning, March 13, Senate Bill 418, "The Personal and Family
Protection Act," is scheduled for a vote in the Kansas House of
Representatives! This important legislation, sponsored by Senator Phil
Journey (R-26), will bring Kansans a step closer to having their right
to self-defense fully recognized. We are asking if you will take 10
minutes out of your day to do the following: First, call your State
Representative at (785) 296-2456 and ask him or her to support SB 418;
Second, start contacting Governor Kathleen Sebelius (D) toll-free at
(877) 579-6757, local (785) 296-6240, via e-mail at
www.ksgovernor.org/comment.html, or fax (785) 368-8788, and respectfully
ask her to sign SB 418 when it reaches her desk. Spread the word to
your friends, family members, fellow firearm owners, and co-workers, and
ask them to help by contacting their State Representative and Governor
Sebelius. The time has come for Kansans to be trusted to protect
themselves and their loved ones!
It is critical that you continue contacting your State Representatives
and urge them to VOTE TO CONCUR with the Senate amendments to HB 1141.
HB 1141 is the most significant piece of legislation to protect gun
owners and sportsmen in recent memory. It contains language: (1)
allowing hunting to continue on minimum-sized land tracts which are
annexed by a city or county (even if that locality bans the discharge of
firearms); (2) prohibiting local officials from confiscating
lawfully-possessed firearms during a natural disaster; and (3)
permitting employees, under certain circumstances, to transport and
store firearms in their locked, private vehicles while parked on
property controlled by their employer. Let your State Representatives
know that a vote to send the bill to a "conference committee" to work
out differences between the House and Senate versions is a vote to
defeat the bill. Please forward this alert to at least five other gun
owners and sportsmen you know. For contact information for your State
Representatives in Jackson, please visit www.mississippi.gov.
Legislative Bill 454, the "Concealed Handgun Permit Act," sponsored by
Representative Jeanne Combs (I-32), passed Select File by a vote of
31-9, with 33 votes for cloture. Unfortunately, LB 454 will not come up
for final passage for a couple of weeks due to budget hearings. Please
continue contacting your State Senator and ask him or her to continue
supporting LB 454 and to trust the law-abiding citizens of Nebraska!
Due to the overwhelming number of phone calls to the phone number
normally listed as the contact number, the Nebraska Legislature has
respectfully requested we ask our dedicated members to please call your
specific State Senator. If you know your State Senator's name, please
use the following link to find his or her phone number
www.unicam.state.ne.us/senators/distlist.pdf. If you need help
identifying your State Senator is please call the NRA-ILA Grassroots
Division at (800) 392-VOTE (8683), or visit www.NRAILA.org.
Senate Bill 318, sponsored by State Senator Peter E. Bragdon, (R-11,
Milford), passed by a narrow margin this week in the Senate and is now
headed to the House. SB 318 says if a criminal breaks into your home,
your occupied vehicle, or your place of business, you may presume he is
there to do bodily harm, and therefore, you may use necessary force
against him. The bill removes the "duty to retreat" if you are attacked
in any place you have a legal right to be and it provides protection
from criminal prosecution and civil litigation for those who defend
themselves from criminal attack. A special "thank you" to the members
of the Gun Owners of New Hampshire, New Hampshire Firearm Coalition, and
members of the National Rifle Association who made this happen. Senate
Bill 318 must now pass the House. Please Contact your House Member at
(603) 271-2548 and urge him or her to support this legislation.
HB 347, introduced by Representative Jim Aslanides (R-94), passed the
Ohio House yesterday by a vote of 76-19. This legislation addresses
several problems associated with the enactment of House Bill 12,
"Right-to-Carry" legislation, that became law in 2004. This bill would
streamline an already successful law, bringing clarity for Ohioans and
law enforcement alike. This important piece of legislation would do the
following for Ohioans: (1) create a clear definition of "plain sight" in
a motor vehicle; (2) allow for off-duty law enforcement officers to
carry a concealed firearm 24 hours a day, 7 days a week (a.k.a. 24/7
provision); and (3) create statewide preemption for the regulation of
firearms and ammunition, therefore avoiding the patchwork of laws
currently on the books in Ohio. Please call your state Senator at (614)
466-4900 and respectfully ask him or her to support of HB 347.
Several Pennsylvania Sportsmen's organizations will be holding a "Right
to Keep and Bear Arms" Press Conference Tuesday, March 14, from
9:00-11:00 a.m., on the steps of the Capitol Building in Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania. This event will launch the introduction of several
pro-gun measures, including legislation based on the traditional "Castle
Doctrine," which removes the "duty to retreat" if you are attacked in
any place you have a legal right to be while granting protection from
criminal prosecution and civil litigation for those who defend
themselves from criminal attack. The Allegheny County Sportsmen's
League (www.acslpa.org), in conjunction with the Pennsylvania
Sportsmen's Association, the Pennsylvania Federation of Sportsmen's
Clubs (www.pfsc.org), and other concerned Pennsylvania grassroots gun
and sportsmen organizations have cooperated in organizing this event.
For Information, please contact Kim Stolfer, by phone at (412) 221-3346,
or by e-mail at email@example.com. Also, State Representative Dwight
Evans (D-203), this week was joined by Philadelphia City Council members
Darrell Clarke and Donna Reed Miller in announcing House Bill 2483,
legislation to gut state preemption and allow local control or
regulation firearms. Speaking in the Council Caucus Room at City Hall,
Evans stated that his bill would provide local governments the option of
approving an ordinance regulating such topics as: restricting areas
where firearms may be discharged; limiting or prohibiting possession in
areas of municipal or county parks or recreational areas or other
publicly-owned grounds; regulating the brandishing of firearms or the
manner by which a person may carry a firearm; regulating firearms in
times of insurrection or civil unrest; regulating pellet guns;
regulating pawn or secondhand shops; "limiting the ownership,
possession, transfer or transportation of assault weapons within the
city limits; requiring background checks or waiting periods on the
purchase of firearms in addition to that required by state law; and,
limiting the amount of firearms that may be purchased in a specific
period of time or making it unlawful for a person who is not a licensed
firearms dealer to purchase more than one handgun with any 30-day
period." Please call your state Representative at (717) 787-2372 and
respectfully ask him or her to oppose this restrictive legislation.
Next Wednesday, March 15, the House Judiciary Committee's Criminal Laws
Subcommittee will have a public hearing on H 4473, introduced by
Representative Catherine Ceips (R-124). This legislation will establish
an expedited process for issuing an emergency Right-to-Carry (RTC)
permit to victims of domestic violence. H 4473 will also require
victims be notified of this personal protection option if their request
for an order of protection is granted, and will ensure that, should a
domestic violence victim obtain an emergency RTC permit, that victim's
personal information cannot be released unless for the purpose of an
official police investigation. This will prevent abusers from tracking
down their victims by exploiting the current system that allows easy
access to personal information regarding RTC permit holders. This
hearing will be held Wednesday, March 15, at 2:30 p.m. in the Blatt
Building in Columbia. Please make plans to attend this hearing in
support of
H 4473. If you cannot attend, please be sure to contact members of the
subcommittee and urge them to support H 4473. To find out in which room
the hearing will be held, please call the House Judiciary Committee
information line at (803) 734-3120.
House Bill 1199, sponsored by Representative Margaret Gillespie (D-16),
was signed by Governor Mike Rounds (R), on Friday, March 3. HB 1199
will protect law-abiding South Dakota citizens by prohibiting the
release of information concerning applicants and current permit holders
to any person, and prohibits any lists or records of privately-owned
firearms to be kept. In addition, HB 1134, "Citizens Right to
Self-Defense" legislation, which removes the "duty to retreat" when a
citizen is faced with attack in a place that he or she has a right to
be, was signed by Governor Rounds on Friday, February, 17. Please
contact Governor Rounds at (605) 773-3212 and thank him for protecting
the citizens of South Dakota by signing HB 1199 and HB 1134.

Age 45, male
Issue - deep horizontal creases in forehead, minor crowsfeet around eyes
Area done - forehead and cheeks
Number of treatments - 5. (total cost for 5 shown)over a 6 month period
The treatment did not eliminate any wrinkles and I can't say that I noticed significant tightening (flattening) of the skin or smoothing of surface texture as is often shown in photos. That said, it did provide a younger, fresher look. The effect became more noticeable by the 4th treatment.
I would describe the effect as more of a "thickening" of the skin, and with that, edges around the creases were smoothed. Overall I would say it made my face look fresher, fuller and more youthful. It is hard to judge on my own, as any changes were gradual. I think I noticed it most when I had been away from the cottage and when I stepped into the exact same lighting and setting where I had not been since before the treatment, oddly that was when I noticed that I looked different.
I had hoped for more dramatic results- the sort they like to advertise in before and after, but was still happy with the result I did get.

Price fills the void in test of character
Page Tools
After confirming his standing as Shane Webcke's heir apparent in the Australian front row, Steve Price dedicated his Test performance last night to the grandmother he helped bury before the game.
Jean Christie, 90, died during the week after a long period of convalescence and with Price back home in Brisbane for the Test, his mother arranged for the funeral to be the same day as the game.
So while the rest of the Kangaroos team went on their traditional pre-Test walk, Price joined his family to pay their last respects before they all headed to Suncorp Stadium to watch the Warriors captain help Australia to a 32-16 win over New Zealand.
"Things happen for a reason," Price said. "Any other time I probably wouldn't have been able to get here but I just happened to be here playing the Test match so it worked out well.
"She'd been in a home for a couple of years and I got a call when I first got here on Monday and one of my family members said she had gone into a semi-coma. Then a day or so later they rang me to say she had passed away and mum thought it would be good to have the funeral today.
"I wanted to play well for her because she was quite proud of my footy and it's quite ironic that in under 11s Toowoomba sent a tour over to New Zealand and I went on that, and I had to be accompanied by an adult so she came with me.
"Obviously I've now ended up in New Zealand this year with the Warriors and when I went and saw her at Christmas we spoke about that because we had such a great time over there."
Aside from topping the hit-ups for Australia with 17, Price also made 19 tackles and was responsible for the final pass in centre Willie Tonga's 56th minute try.
Unfortunately, he strained his hamstring offloading the ball to Tonga but Price said he was hopeful of being fit for the Warriors next match in a week's time.
With Webcke having retired from representative football, Price revealed that he and fellow prop Petero Civoniceva had needed a rock-paper-scissors contest to settle a dispute over which one of them would wear the No.10 jersey.
"At the end of the day I was just very proud to be wearing the Australian jersey and it didn't matter which number I had on," Price said. "To get the opportunity is fantastic. I just love going out and playing my game and if that means I'm in the starting side that's great."
Kiwis captain and Price's front-row partner at the Warriors, Ruben Wiki, said: "Shane Webcke's retired and Pricey just stepped up to take his place. He had to go forward for them and the way he played I thought he was a centre for a while. He's been in great form for the Warriors and he deserved his spot."

America's Game
We figured the cult of celebrity had reached new depths of obsessive behavior in December after Scarlett Johansson blew her nose into a Kleenex on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno and the snot-rag was sold on eBay for $5,300. Seemed to top the salon owner who wanted to sell the tresses she had lopped off a then-bald Britney Spears for a cool million, until eBay put the kibosh on the sale because a plethora of hair-peddling impostors would have forced post-auction DNA testing to make certain each follicle was legit. Perhaps this is sociological, but why are we willing to cough up good money for celebrity secretions? At least our local celebs actually give us something of value for our fixations--or rather they will when they take the field in the Eighth Annual Reebok Heroes Celebrity Baseball Game 6 p.m. Saturday at Dr Pepper Ballpark in Frisco. The famous and the familiar will include Mike Modano, Marty Turco, Mark Cuban, DeMarcus Ware, Jason Witten and Michael Irvin. They will be among those who choose sides and play ball to benefit the children's charities of The Heroes Foundation and The Mike Modano Foundation. Plenty of other stuff to do, including tailgating, a home-run derby and fireworks. For more info, go to heroesbaseball.org.

What is OA?
Overeaters Anonymous is a Fellowship of individuals who, through shared experience, strength and hope, are recovering from compulsive overeating. We welcome everyone who wants to stop eating compulsively.
There are no dues or fees for members; we are self-supporting through our own contributions, neither soliciting nor accepting outside donations. OA is not affiliated with any public or private organization, political movement, ideology or religious doctrine; we take no position on outside issues.
Our primary purpose is to abstain from compulsive overeating and to carry this message of recovery to those who still suffer.
Are You a Compulsive Overeater?
This series of questions may help you determine if you are a compulsive overeater.
Do you eat when you're not hungry?
Do you go on eating binges for no apparent reason?
Do you have feelings of guilt and remorse after overeating?
Do you give too much time and thought to food?
Do you look forward with pleasure and anticipation to the time when you can eat alone?
Do you plan these secret binges ahead of time?
Do you eat sensibly before others and make up for it alone?
Is your weight affecting the way you live your life?
Have you tried to diet for a week (or longer), only to fall short of your goal?
Do you resent others telling you to "use a little willpower" to stop overeating?
Despite evidence to the contrary, have you continued to assert that you can diet "on your own" whenever you wish?
Do you crave to eat at a definite time, day or night, other than mealtime?
Do you eat to escape from worries or trouble?
Have you ever been treated for obesity or a food-related condition?
Does your eating behavior make you or others unhappy?
Have you answered yes to three or more of these questions? If so, it is probable that you have or are well on your way to having a compulsive overeating problem. We have found that the way to arrest this progressive disease is to practice the Twelve-Step recovery program of Overeaters Anonymous.
Is OA for You?
Only you can decide that question. No one else can make this decision for you. We who are now in OA have found a way of life which enables us to live without the need for excess food. We believe that compulsive overeating is a progressive illness, one that, like alcoholism and some other illnesses, can be arrested. Remember, there is no shame in admitting you have a problem; the most important thing is to do something about it.

Apple may finally be ready to implement AirDrop functionality in iOS7 to allow the sharing of files through Wi-Fi.
9to5Mac is reporting that their sources have indicated that Apple is currently testing a version of iOS7 that includes AirDrop as a possible sharing option. This was planned in previous versions of the operating system but was scrapped before release so it's important not to get too excited until it's announced on stage.
How the feature will work will be similar to how sharing anything works on the OS. If you record a video for instance, you just hit the share button and the list of options will appear and one of those options will be AirDrop. You'll be able to wirelessly transfer the file to another iOS device or to your Mac.
It's nice to see Apple implement a functionality like this especially considering their biggest competition in Android can already do this in more than one way. Of course, it will still be limited to iOS devices and Macs so Apple's continued lack of multi-platform support seems like it will continue with this feature.
For the entrenched Apple hardware users this should be a very welcome feature if it comes to fruition.

MANILA – The Philippine Supreme Court on Tuesday declared a security deal with the United States constitutional, as anti-American protesters rallied outside, allowing an increased U.S. military presence in the former U.S. colony as tension rises in the South China Sea.
Manila has long been a staunch U.S. ally and the pact is widely seen as important for both sides as the Philippines confronts an assertive China in the disputed Spratly archipelago and Washington launches a "pivot" back to Asia.
The court voted 10-4 to deny the petition of some lawmakers and activists to declare the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) unconstitutional because it surrendered Philippine sovereignty to a foreign power.
"EDCA is not constitutionally infirm," said Supreme Court spokesman Theodore Te. "As an executive agreement, it remains consistent with existing laws and treaties that it purports to implement."
The pact was signed days before U.S. President Barack Obama visited the Philippines in 2014. It will allow U.S. troops to build facilities to store equipment for maritime security and humanitarian and disaster response operations, in addition to broad access to Philippine military bases.
However, it faced immediate legal challenges from groups opposed to U.S. military involvement in the Philippines, an American colony from 1898 to 1946.
The Philippines hosted two of the largest overseas U.S. military bases until 1992, following a Filipino Senate vote to end their leases that was influenced by anti-U.S. sentiment.
The Philippines and the United States are already bound by a mutual defense treaty signed in 1951 and a visiting forces agreement signed in 1998.
The first accord commits the United States to come to the aid of the Philippines in case of external aggression, while the second paved the way for U.S. troops to engage in exercises in the Southeast Asian nation.
The new pact, which was only intended to be in place for 10 years from 2014, does not authorize a return of U.S. bases.
Security expert Rommel Banlaoi said the security deal will strengthen the alliance between Manila and Washington beyond the administration of President Benigno Aquino III, who steps down at the end of June.
"EDCA will be Aquino's legacy for the next administration that is bound to implement it," Banlaoi said. "It can boost U.S. leverage in balancing China, particularly in the context of the growing U.S.-China power struggle in the South China Sea."
The court ruling came hours before the Philippine defense and foreign ministers was to hold talks with American counterparts in Washington, discussing security and economic issues, including the South China Sea and the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal.
Dozens of anti-U.S. activists held protests outside the court, saying the ruling was "untenable" because the deal was a de facto basing agreement and will make the country "a launching pad for military intervention in the region."
Philippine military officials say there has been an increase in U.S. exercises, training and ship and aircraft visits in the past year under Obama's rebalance to Asia but the pact would take the relationship a step further.
China claims almost all the South China Sea, which is believed to have huge deposits of oil and gas, and has been building up facilities on islands it controls.
Brunei, Malaysia, Vietnam, Taiwan and the Philippines also have claims. Tension rose this month when China began test flights on Fiery Cross Reef, one of three artificial islands where Beijing has constructed airfields.
In April 2012, after a tense standoff with Philippine ships, Chinese vessels took control of a shoal just 220 km (135 miles) off the main Philippine island of Luzon.
The Philippines has since become the most vocal critic of China's efforts to claim South China Sea territory, including its strategy of turning islets in those waters into artificial islands that can host military facilities.

Bypassing "Please Select a Line" for Phone Calls
Any idea how to do this? I want to make a phone call and it's roughly 4 entries, and the only one I find truly annoying or unnecessary is "Please select a line" and gives me 3 options... it's always line 1! Any ideas for a bypass?
Much thanks.

France to Apply 75% Tax to Soccer Players' Compensation
Paris Saint-Germain, France's richest soccer club, will have more on its agenda than controlling Lionel Messi when it takes on Barcelona, the world's best team, tonight.
PSG's Qatari owners also have the tax man to think about. After conflicting messages by government officials, Prime Minister Jean-Marc Ayrault's office issued a statement today confirming that a 75 percent surcharge on salaries above 1 million euros ($1.3 million) will apply to soccer clubs.
"This new tax will cost first-division teams 82 million euros," France's Football League said in a statement. "With these crazy labor costs, France will lose its best players, our clubs will see their competitiveness in Europe decline, and the government will lose its best taxpayers."
At least 12 members of the Paris team make more than 1 million a year, according to France Football magazine. They include Swedish striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, 15 million euros a year, and Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti, at 12 million euros.
Former England captain David Beckham would escape the tax because his five-month stint at PSG doesn't qualify him as a French tax resident. While Beckham is soccer's best-paid player with 36 million euros this year, only 5 percent of that comes from salary, according to France Football.
President Francois Hollande made the 75-percent tax a cornerstone of his successful presidential campaign last year, saying the wealthiest had to make a special contribution toward cutting France's deficit.
Many soccer players would already be taxed at France's top marginal rate of 49 percent, which kicks in at 500,000 euros a year. Teams would then pay a surcharge to bring the effective tax rate on salaries above 1 million euros to 75 percent.
Court Ruling
A first attempt to put the tax into law was shot down by the constitutional court last December because the tax applied to individuals and not households. While the government then said it would rewrite the tax for 2014, the country's top administrative court said any rate above 66 percent could be rejected as confiscatory.
In a television interview last week, Hollande revived the tax, saying the rate would remain 75 percent, though it would be paid by corporations, not individuals, circumventing the courts' objections.
That solution left open the question of whether self- employed artists and athletes would be taxed, as well as whether a football team is a company.
In an interview with Journal du Dimanche March 31, Ayrault avoided the question, saying that some companies paid "indecent" salaries and joking that actor Gerard Depardieu, who has left France for Belgium, thought taxes are already too high in France.
"The assurance has been given that only salaried workers will be affected," Small Industry Minister Fleur Pellerin said on France Inter radio today. "Football clubs are a bit above the revenue that one would use to define a small business. But non-salaried artists and non-salaried athletes won't be affected."
Qatar Sports Investment, a Qatari government fund, bought PSG in 2011, and spent 200 million euros to lure Ancelotti and Ibrahimovic, as well as other Brazilian, Argentinian, Italian and French stars.
Tonight's PSG-Barcelona match is the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals. The second leg will be played in Barcelona on April 10, with the winner on aggregate goals going on to the semi-finals.
Barcelona, with World Player of the Year Messi in its ranks, is a four-time European champion, while PSG has never gone beyond the semi-finals and last appeared in the quarter- finals in 1995.
