World University Games Central
It was a perfect day for a pair of University of Tennessee rising junior tennis players at the World University Games in Belgrade, Serbia. John-Patrick Smith was successful on two fronts, posting both a singles and doubles victory, while Boris Conkic earned a doubles triumph.
Smith, who recorded three aces, defeated Phil Stephens of Great Britain, 6-3, 6-4, in a match that took 80 minutes to complete. In round three, the 14th-seeded Smith faces Sweden's Alexander Thams who was a 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, winner over Italy's Pietro Ansaldo.
A round of 16 match on Monday awaits the winner of the Smith-Thams match.
Smith and fellow compatriot John Peers, the No. 6 seed in doubles, easily defeated the Canadian duo of Graeme Kassautzki and Mikhail Lew, 6-2, 6-0. They were one of four seeded teams to advance to the second round. Smith and Peers now face Sweden's Alexander Milles/Alexander Thames who defeated Germany's Mario Eckardt/Klaus Jank, 6-3, 6-4.
Conkic and Serbian partner Aleksander Grubin pulled off one of the four upsets of seeded teams in the doubles draw with a 7-5, 7-5, victory over No. 5 Syrym Abdukhalikov and Maxime Filippov of Kazakhstan.
Conkic and Grubin take on the Hungarian brothers' team of Andreas and Kristian Kuharszky who downed the No. 8-seeded duo from Mexico of Marco Diaz Barriga/Adolfo Soiares, 6-2, 6-4.

Jennifer Aniston: Nope, She's Not Bald!
Back in the 1990s, she made the "Rachel" hairdo famous, and despite rumors to the contrary Jennifer Aniston still has her gorgeous mane.
Earlier this week, the "We're the Millers" starlet was the target of an erroneous Facebook account that claimed she shaved her head.
Aniston's photo was doctored to make it appear she buzzed off her locks, and the site claimed it was all to show solidarity with a cancer-stricken family member.
However multiple sources have shot down the notion that Jennifer went under the clippers- thank goodness!

The idea of this page is to raise money for the BBC's Charity 'Children in Need'. The charity does fantastic work for many children in the UK and worldwide (http://www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey/).
My idea is for people associated with UK Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) to donate all raised funds through one site so we can show the collective total of UK MMA together. Please also tell friends, fans and family of Martial Arts or just anyone donating to Children in Need to donate through this link. If everyone on my facebook fan page (http://www.facebook.com/tomkongwatson 7,858 people) donates ten pounds we would raise a staggering £78,580!!!
Over recent months MMA has received much negative press, some warranted and some not. I would like this fundraising page to demonstrate how members of the UK Martial arts community help Children daily throughout the UK, The classes at the gym's we train/teach at year round help change many young lifes for the better. I feel strongly that the Media needs to recognise MMA is a fantastic sport in the UK not this perpetuated street brawlin', child-fighting furore we have been labelled repeatedly as. I hope we can turn the tide on the current media portayal and public perception and give many young people a better chance at the same time.
Any fundraising activities qualify just give this link as your donation base and hopefully on Friday 18th November we can give a huge check to Children in Need on the BBC from UK MMA!
BakedBean.. Please make this the top thread everyday. I know you can do it!!!

Hello all, my name is Andrew and I am interested in purchasing a dog this summer. Time away from home will be a big deal, so I have some questions about this. Over the summer I'd be able to spend a lot of time with the dog as I'll just be studying for the bar exam and I don't start my job until September. But once I start work, I will probably be away from home for 10-12 hours a day during the week.
1) Are there breeds of dogs that do better on their own for many hours?
2) Would purchasing two dogs to keep each other company alleviate the problem of me being away so much?
Keep in mind that I'll be living by myself in a single-family suburban home with a medium sized yard and an in-ground pool. I also prefer larger breeds of dog. I really like Newfs, Huskies, Akitas, Labs, etc. and would not be interested in any toy or very small breeds.
Thank you very much for any reply!

Daltry Calhoun
Directed by Katrina Holden Bronson. Starring Johnny Knoxville, Elizabeth Banks, Juliette Lewis, David Koechner, Kick Gurry, James Parks, Sophie Traub. (2005, PG-13, 100 min.)
REVIEWED By Marc Savlov, Fri., Sept. 23, 2005
Currently tied for first in Miramax's "What the fuck?" category with horror snore Venom is this bizarre oddity, which boasts Quentin Tarantino as co-executive producer but falls about as far from that particular tree as one can imagine. Those expecting some of QT's nonnegotiable flair to crop up will find their patience sorely tested by this slapdash tale of wacky Southerners and midlife crises that boasts several fine performances but, on the whole, feels like a compilation reel of Blue Collar TV outtakes and Coen Brothers-lite quirkiness. Knoxville plays the titular scoundrel Calhoun, a Southern seed-and-sod magnate who in reality is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. When the ex (Banks) he left 15 years before shows up unannounced with his daughter June (Traub) in tow, the former pot dealer and current Duckville, Tenn., gadabout must come to terms with his past while facing up to his future (and so forth). Bronson's directorial skills are not in question – the film has an easygoing, South-of-the-Mason-Dixon-line charm to it, but it's snookered by overly broad performances from ham-salad recidivist Lewis, playing a love-struck Calhoun fan, and Knoxville's own toothy, Southern clunkiness, which too often verges on parody before scuttling back to the dramedy landfill from whence it done came, y'all. Traub, as the littlest Calhoun, pulls out all the hormonal teenage stops and does it well, but like everyone else here she's fighting an uphill battle against a story that's just too convoluted and confused to do anyone any good. "Get high on grass … the legal kind!" is sodbuster Daltry's oft-repeated television tagline, but that's about the only chuckle the movie can induce. In a film this chock-full o' nuts, Lewis takes the proverbial cake; her sporting-goods saleswoman Flora plays like an adulterated version of her libidinous Cape Fear breakthrough, all thumbsucky sizzle and estrogenic lust that nonetheless fails to make much more of an impression than a flat tire on summer hardpan. Daltry Calhoun's saving grace comes in the form of a snappy compilation soundtrack that spans from Johnny Cash to Serge Gainsbourg, a feat of all-inclusiveness that renders the film a moot point at best.

Re: New LevinIntegrate package for highly oscillatory integration
I would like to have an explanation of this so called "so that other people know the limits of their rights". It is filling in for other people and they did not even say anything yet.
The benevolent attitude to people exists everywhere. Also the people who see that a human is a dangerous animal.
I am thankful for those initiatives which just give. And I do not like systems nor arguments which are negative to these initiatives. I cite as an example for what I see as benevolent, the 100$ PC from Nicholas Negroponte. Many people have the same attitude on a smaller scale.
with friendly greetings,

This is one of the best premieres since "Desperate Housewives". Edgy as
an HBO show, spiritual as 7th Heaven, and as beautifully dysfunctional
as Six Feet Under. Aiden Quinn brings an offbeat rudder to this ship of
wonderfully happy dysfunctional family. A talented cast of familiar
faces play straight men to the priest and his tribe. A spiritual
adviser offers well placed advice which, I'm sure, puts the Christian
right on edge. Ellen Bursten is rediscovered as the pill popping Bishop
while the acceptance of the gay son is the first truly poignant
integration of a true gay role in a true family.
The closest drama to a true reality show on television. Welcome back NBC
I liked the show.
I watched the first two episodes and was pleasantly surprised. My husband came home and started watching in the middle of it, he got all caught up in it. Luckily I had recorded it and I had to rewind it to catch him up. It had much more humor in it than I was expecting it too.
It was a drama/comedy and I will keep watching.
I was expecting it to be much more serious and not so lighthearted. I was also afraid that I would hate the scenes where he chats with Jesus, but found that they were actually enjoyable. I also liked the way Aidan Quinn dealt with all the problems he had going on at once and could still deal with his family. I have liked Aidan for many years and think he is very good in this part.
I Recently sat down to watch The Book of Daniel to see what all this
fuss was around it. I heard tons of rumours. The hardcore conservative
church ladies were calling it " a wrongful display of Jesus" which
surprises me because the menopause oppressed crazy women haven't even
seen the show yet.
Could this show be as wrong and crude display as people have expressed. Well...no, these people are just so stuck to their original upbringings to even open up their eyes to something a little new. Besides that the show is actually respecting the entire Christian faith.
Back to the matter at hand. I watched it and found one of the most amazing witty dramas on television. It depicts the modern world in such a perfect way. It includes everything, homosexuals, alcholics, drug dealers, SUPER conservative CHristians, Liberal, anything. Its paced perfectly. The show keeps moving, taking different directions. Its a lot better than the over rated Desperate Housewives.
My Opinion: Don't listen to what other people say. That includes you Christians. No one should be offended by this, if so i think they're just a little tight.
I enjoyed watching the 2 hour premiere of this show. It was light-hearted and I thought the character development was great! The issues of the characters were real situations that probably exist more than you would think in families. Aiden Quinn is fantastic as Daniel. The person who plays his wife is funny as well. The adopted son was a little obnoxious at first but I think that was just part of developing the character. I really liked the scenes when Daniel talks to Jesus. Again is mostly light-hearted. It shows the close relationship he has with Jesus and how he always looks to him for guidance. I hope they develop the Nanny lady's character more in the future. I felt they kind of left us hanging when it came to her. I think she will be an important part of the plot line of the show. This show makes me want to start going to church again! I hope this show has a long shelf life. I recommend it totally!
*** This review may contain spoilers ***
Jesus practiced forgiveness and acceptance, so as a preface, consider
the Buddhist philosophy that the path to Heaven is like a mountain.
There are many paths leading upward, and the only person wasting his
time is the one running around the mountain telling everyone else they
are doing it wrong.
I turned the show on expecting to be infuriated, but I am very impressed. I think the show (the first episode, at least) is clever, well-written and not remotely offensive. Before you think, "Well, those godless Episcopal heathens have a gay bishop," know that I am among the more conservative Episcopalians, and the show very accurately reflects the conversations I have in my head with Jesus. OK, so I've never seen him sitting in the passenger seat of my car or loitering outside my half bath, but artistic license covers that base.
I don't think this is an Christian vs. Hollywood issue, or at least it shouldn't be. This is flattering to Christians -- something that has been sorely lacking in recent years, thanks to televangelists and their air conditioned dog houses. Most of America is Christian, and there is entertainment enough in this show for everyone, whether they are watching it for the God content or not.
Per Sportbronco's comment, I read the Bible and I think it makes me more of a thinker, not less. And just because you believe in God doesn't mean you are humorless. When you study the Bible in an historical context, you see that Jesus had a pretty good sense of humor. That's one of the things I really like about this show that I think others may be taking issue with. I fully believe he would have cracked a one-liner. Jesus was fully God, but also fully human.
Same with Daniel -- fully priest and also fully regular-guy. Why is it offensive that a priest isn't perfect? Who says he can't have a daughter who makes an error in judgment, an adopted son who's having sex in his parents' car, a gay son whom he loves? A cheating dad/imperfect bishop, a mother with Alzheimer's, snipe-fests with his wife over their sex life? Now, the fact that the family has a housekeeper is atypical -- these people aren't rich in real life. And the bigoted cow who made the remark about "oriental grandchildren" -- that was unfortunate. But every story has to have a villain, and she and her bullied, bullying, condescending husband are it.
To the people who are concerned that this sort of material is detrimental, I must respectfully disagree. I find it hard to believe that someone would be condemned for considering Jesus a good friend he turns to when he has troubles. Isn't putting Jesus into the context of our lives and having a close relationship what we are supposed to do? I think that is the most basic tenet of this show.
Based on all the savage reviews I had heard, I was all set to drum up a letter writing campaign to the network (which I see as voicing an opinion, not promoting censorship, and something people in the majority don't do nearly often enough because they feel guilty about being in the majority in the first place).
But then I watched the premiere, and I really enjoyed it. If "The Book of Daniel" brings anyone to church, if it shows them that maybe it's a place where they will be accepted in spite of their flaws, if it encourages them to keep trying to be better in spite of their weaknesses -- then I'm all for it.
We don't watch a lot of TV, but this show is entertaining and real, and it had earned a place in our viewing pantheon.
I've heard all the bad press on this "anti-Christian" show. Well, I am
a Christian. I am also a conservative, real conservative. I find myself
loving old reruns and old movies quite a bit and disliking "modern"
shows more and more. Yet, I'm still trying to decide where I stand on
this show. I actually recorded it so I could watch w/o missing
Something I loved was when Daniel asks Jesus if he is chosen, since Jesus so often talks with him. Jesus responds. that he talks to most people, but most don't listen. As a Christian, I can totally agree with that concept. I also love Daniels apparent practice of grace. Grace is the concept that allows Christians to accept people without judgment. But, it's one thing not to judge people, it's quite another to let someone play with fire, w/o telling them they'll be burned.
For example, when that engaged couple comes to him for counseling. My church and most other churches will tell the couple that sex before marriage is wrong, instead he gives them advice less out of the Bible, and more out of Dr. Ruth's handbook.
Outside of my Christian viewpoint, I've one other criticism of the show. It's trying too hard. This one family has a gay son, another son that has sex with every girl he meets, a daughter that is dealing drugs, a father/husband that appears to have an addiction to his pain pills, an alcoholic wife/mother, a lesbian sister in law, a mother/grandmother that has Alzhimers--sorry for the spelling on that one-, a father/grandfather that may be having an affair, and a best friend with mob connections.
SLOW DOWN!!!! I know that we all have problems, but egad, can't they let someone be normal.
I am glad of the positive portrayal of Jesus though. Was I the only one that noticed he was wearing a seat belt?
I have avoided network television (except sports, news and weather) for
years due to steady stream of mind numbing "reality shows" and the
worst writing since television first became a staple in the American
Finally a well written, creative and well cast show that dares to bring comedy back by poking fun at religion. Plus, it does this within the constraints of Network censors.
It still needs some work with timing and character development, but given a chance it could become the most original and best comedy since SOAP.
Somebody learned for Susan Harris.
Great Show.
Finally---a realistic look at "church" in America: an often unholy
sometimes ungodly mix of church politics, dysfunction and human
frailty. A few fundamentalist preachers will rant, aghast, from the
pulpit tomorrow (Sunday, Jan. 8, 2006) about this premiere and bandy
about such terms as heresy and blasphemy without a notion of their true
meaning, or diplomas from accredited institutions of higher learning.
But a majority of thinking Christians (and Jews, Muslims, Hindus,
Buddhists, atheists and agnostics) will recognize a story about people
easy to care about, who remind us that life isn't about halos and wings
and covered dish suppers--it's about struggle, addiction, suffering,
disappointment, redemption, and love.
Presented in a genius blend of outrageous fortune and unexpected moments of grace, The Book of Daniel is a reason to stay home on Friday nights.
Great plot, funny and serious at the same time. It's about a
dysfunctional family (eek, gag me with a spoon), but it's actually
really good. The show breaks lots of stereotypes and is really funny.
so it's about a priest named Daniel, who is part of the typical family in America. There's the daughter who is very artistic and needs to express herself and draws Managua and sells pot to make money. Then there's the gay brother and the adopted cool adopted Asian brother. Then there's the mom who always drinks. When they come together for dinner, it is Hilarious!!! You guys have all gotta see it. I give it 15 stars out of ten.
Wow that was actually a really awesome show. I didn't really know what to expect but that was great. I was just kinda putting it on for the sake of watching the first five minutes and seeing what it was like and maybe switching to it on commercials but wow! I ended up watching the whole 2 hours and flipped to OTHER shows on the commercials. I was wondering about the big hype on it being wrong and actually somewhat agreed by how the commercials portrayed it but it wasn't like that at all. I am not religious even though I've tried lol... but i loved the way they portrayed Jesus. They showed him as a human being and i loved it. So anyways.. what i was trying to get across was that i loved it and it's a great show! I also loved how they embraced their son's homosexuality.. they showed him not really wanting it but at the same time accepting him for who he is and loving him anyway.

Offside We can explain it to you but we can not understand it for you!When judgment of offside position is necessary, at the moment the ball touches or is played by one of his OWN team, we suggest you see/imagine it as ...FREEZE... frame picture of ...ALL... the participants, calculated at a single moment of time, when a ball is ...LAST... touched by a team mate and determine yes or no to the 3 questions below : __________________________________________________________This concept while easy to understand is often so simplistic in nature that its nuance and complexity are lost or important details are overlooked because of the rapid movement of the participants and the line of sight on all concerns. The AR or referee must be able to comprehend the angle of view to determine who and when and even how the ball is last touched, correlating the evolving circumstances of movement, separated by distance, entangled by speed, complicated by the continual locomotion of the players, both defending and attacking, at speeds of 20 plus miles an hour, running in opposing or intersecting directions, chasing a rolling, bouncing ball, moving as fast as 130 mph WITHOUT losing focus. The ability for the human mind to see, record and interpret the fast paced data creates time lags in real time to the illusion of position at a given moment! This is why the phrase "WHEN IN DOUBT DO NOT WAVE IT ABOUT! " (We are talking about the flag!) was created to help the official realize on a close play a decision derived at in a blink of an eye. The mind is tricked into thinking things are moving slower than they were, incorrectly interpreting the player as being in an offside positioned and raising a flag, unnecessarily taking away good goals or halting the scoring opportunities. Only with the development of ingrained good habits, excellent communication and sound mechanics will the team of officials, no matter what system is in use, be able to make quality decisions!__________________________________________________________ Understandably there are a few unusual conditions that reflect offside positional conundrums. Players and coaches, here is a heads up! Note the halfway line is part of BOTH sides, so if you are leaning over it you are closer to the opposing goal even if you are mostly inside your own half!__________________________________________________________ Relating to the defenders: the last or 2nd last opponent can be ANY defender! The keeper is but one of 11 defenders. If a defender exits the FOP (field of play) through momentum or without the referees permission he shall be considered to be on his own goal line or touch line for the purposes of offside until the next stoppage in play. If a defender willingly exits deliberately as an act of USB to deceive the AR or referee, apply advantage and caution said player when the ball is next out of play--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Relating to the attackers: the PIOP (player in offside position) attackers who try to show Non-involvement by taking themselves into touch or inside the netted area to get out of the way of active play are not to be punished for their actions unless they did so to gain a tactical advantage i.e. sneak around the goal to get clear. They must request the permission of the referee to re-enter the FOP If an attacking PIOP was not interfering with an opponent while off the FOP and a goal is a scored the goal is good! If however, the ORP (offside restricted player) off the FOP or inside the netted area of goal was to verbally distract an opponent, then the goal must be disallowed, player cautioned for USB and play restarted with a dropped ball from the position of the ball when play was stopped, unless play was stopped inside the goal area, in which case the referee drops the ball on the goal area line parallel to the goal line at the point nearest to where the ball was located when play was stopped.__________________________________________________________ IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PLAYERS! PLAY THE WHISTLE!The flag is a signal to the referee by the AR that he is of the opinion play could be stopped. It is NOT, repeat NOT, a reason to stop play! You stop play ONLY for the whistle by the referee. ONLY the CR decides if he will go with the flag or wave it off. Do not stop attacking, just because a flag is popped! Do not stop defending, just because a flag is popped! The flag is ...NOTHING... to you! It is simply a communication device the AR uses to get the referees attention that something ...MIGHT... require his attention!__________________________________________________________3 QUESTIONS1. Is the player in the attacking half of the field?2. Is the player nearer the opposing goal line than the ball 3. Is the player nearer the opposing goal line than the last but one opponent or the last two opponents?__________________________________________________________In the context of Law 11 Offside, the following definition applies to the phrase NEARER TO HIS OPPOSING GOAL LINE"nearer to his opponents goal line" means that any part of a player's head, body or feet is nearer to his opponents' goal line than both the ball and the second-last opponent. The arms are not included in this definition For a less technical explanation - ANY legal playable body part but not the arms or hands. It MUST be noted the REASONING the arms and hands are not included is NOT because they can not be used (keeper can do so in their own PA) but rather it was determined no one can accurately gauge their placement in real time effectively unless the player were dead still and is not how offside usually evolves. __________________________________________________________If all 3 questions are answered ...YES... then go to the next paragraphs (A1 & B2)! If any question is answered ...NO..., the player is not in an offside position and can participate in play until the next touch of the ball by a member of his team requires a re-evaluation._________________________________________________________ Once a player is in an established offside position, ask 2 more questions: (A1.) Is the player actively interfering with play or an opponent?� "interfering with play" means playing or touching the ball passed or touched by a team-mate� "interfering with an opponent" means preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent's line of vision or challenging an opponent for the ball-----Additional Clarification "Interfering with an opponent"In addition to situations already outlined in the Laws of the Game, a player in an offside position shall also be penalised if he:-----� clearly attempts to play a ball which is close to him when this action impacts on an opponent or� makes an obvious action which clearly impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball----- Guidance & Clarification of terms� "clearly attempts" - this wording is designed to prevent a player who runs towards the ball from quite a long distance being penalised (unless he gets close to the ball).� "close" - is important so that a player is not penalised when the ball goes clearly over his head or clearly in front of him.� "impact"- applies to an opponent's ability (or potential) to play the ball and will include situations where an opponent's movement to play the ball is delayed, hindered or prevented by the offside player. However, just because a player is an offside position it does not always mean that he has an impact. For example:� if the ball is on the right-hand side of the field and an offside player in the centre of the field moves into a new attacking position he is not penalised unless this action affects an opponent's ability to play the ball� where a player tries to play the ball as it is going into the goal without affecting an opponent, or in situations where there is no opposition player near, he should not be penalised unless he actually physically touches the ball be it on purpose or accidental makes NO difference __________________________________________________________(B2.)Is the player gaining an advantage?� "gaining an advantage by being in that position" means playing a balli. that rebounds or is deflected to him off the goalpost, crossbar or opponent having been in an offside positionii. that rebounds, is deflected or is played to him from a deliberate save by an opponent having been in an offside positionA player in an offside position receiving the ball from an opponent, who deliberately plays the ball (except from a deliberate save), is NOT considered to have gained an advantage -----"Save" ClarificationAs indicated in the last sentence a "save" can be made by any player and is not limited to the goalkeeper. � A "save" is when a player stops a ball which is going into or very close to the goal with any part of his body except his hands (except for the goalkeeper within his own penalty area).-------"Deliberately playing the ball" involves a conscious act of a player whereby his making contact with the ball with his feet, head or body was the result of him initiating a sequence of events in a reasonable manner! There is no guarantee of control or possession in a deliberate action. It does involve a ...PHYSICAL... touch of the ball -------If either A1 or B2 is true or becomes true before the next touch of the ball by one of his OWN side, or a deliberate play of the ball by an opponent or the ball goes out of play then the assistant flags for offside and the referee blows for the offside infraction, the referee awards an indirect free kick to be taken from the position of the WHERE the offending player actually interferes with the opponent or the ball. THIS could result in an INDFK restart within the offside players OWN half. -------Remember that it is not contrary to the Law to be in an offside position! ONLY to be INVOLVED in active dynamic play which clearly impacts the opposition from seeing or getting to the ball or when challenging for possession . The PIOP (player in an offside position) or ORP (offside restricted player) is simply restricted from participating in play which could impact the opposition! We judge the actions of the PIOP/ORP not the reactions or decisions of the opposition. To quote an old soccer aphorism, We do not reward mistakes! ------- When a player is in an offside position and the ball is deliberately or accidently touched or played by a team mate that player may not get involved, without penalty, if the ball rebounds or deflects off an opponent or an opponent makes a deliberately save, or he runs to a position that does not look offside and becomes actively involved. This includes returning to his own half! Once a player has been 100% identified as being a PIOP, he is restricted from active play, no matter what he does and where he goes, because NOTHING an 'ORP' can do on his own will change anything!__________________________________________________________ WHEN & HOW IS THE OFFSIDE RESTRICTION LIFTED?There are only 3 stages of play that could allow an offside restricted player (ORP) to rejoin active play.-----One - a NEW teammate's touch of the ball (1) Condition one requires the former offside restricted player to no longer be in an offside position when this new touch occurs. Offside reset occurs at ANY teammate touch of the ball deliberate or accidental creating a NEW phase of play with a new freeze frame snap shot of the new positioning of the players on the field---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Two - opposing player deliberately plays the ball while not being challenged or interfered with by an offside player (2) Condition two must simply occur, offside position is not part of the equation because condition one no longer applies. The former restricted offside player can legally contest ball possession if his opponents have deliberately touched/played the ball, this frees the previously restricted offside position attacker who is no longer, gaining an advantage, to rejoin active play no matter their position on the field------There are 3 exceptions pertaining to gaining an advantage If the opponent/defender touch of the ball is deemed in the opinion of the officials to be a (a) - rebound = a ball that bounces back after impacting a hard surface (b) - deflection = a ball that alters it trajectory or being caused to change direction upon impact(c) - deliberate save = a ball played with a conscious decision and realization of the consequences of action but is done preventing a goalThese conditions WILL NOT RESET nor change an attacking opponents' restricted offside status! Neither does it alter or change an attacking opponent's ONSIDE status. ----- A miss kick or poor header is more often a MISTAKE made when choosing to deliberately play the ball! We do not award offside for a mistake, if it was a DELIBERATE PLAY! However, the position or movement of the defender's feet or head apparently trying to react does not necessarily mean the ball was deliberately played! What determines if a mistake is a deliberate play or was it a deflection or a rebound? We hold that when the ball comes to the player, no player will ever get out of the way and let the ball go by, there will always be a motion by the player as that is an instinctive movement. The question is whether it is an action or a reaction.�DISTANCE: How far away is the ball? �FLIGHT PATH: Is the ball's direction, or angle altered on its way towards the player?�SPEED: How fast is that ball moving? �SPACE: is there room to react? �TIME: Is there time to prepare? �IMPACT: Does the ball strike the player, without the player being aware or time to react?-----An impact is NOT deliberately playing the ball, nor a mistake, it is either�{a} rebound which is a ball that bounces back after striking a hard surface or�{b} deflection which is a ball that alters it trajectory or being caused to change direction upon impact---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Three - the ball goes out of play (3) Condition three requires a restart of play! Three restarts are free from any offside criteria by either team (Throw-in, Corner kick, Goal kick) where position is NOT a factor at the moment of the kick A NEW positional offside evaluation will occur ONLY from the team taking the kick be it INDFK or DFK as there is a new touch of ball by the attacking team/or team mates. The opponents are exempt because condition two now applies!__________________________________________________________Please view the interpretive demonstration/teaching video supplied by FIFA (1) FIFA http://garcia-aranda.com/offsideifab/eng001.htmlLAWS OF THE GAME 2015/2016Offside Law 11 Page 36Interpretation of the Laws of the Game and Guidelines for RefereesPages 110 to 118 additional guidance, definitions and diagrams

VIDEO: Golfer Attacked by Hornets
Now, let it be known I suck at golf ... and maybe have 3 "Birdies" to my name ... Take a look at this dude from this weekend!
He's a Spanish golfer named Pablo Larrazabal ... Friday he was attacked by a swarm of hornets at a tournament in Malaysia. And they stung him 20 TIMES before he finally jumped into a lake. Then he got out of the water, changed his shirt ... and made a birdie. #LikeABoss

This research assessed factors that may affect men's romantic relationships. One hundred men (50 heterosexual and 50 gay) in the Northeast US completed measures that assessed masculinity ideology, male identity, and relationship quality. We examined whether the quality of heterosexual men's romantic relationships differ from that of romantic relationships among gay men, and whether masculinity ideology and male identity are related to the quality of heterosexual and same-sex romantic relationships. Results indicated no differences between heterosexual and gay men in the perceived quality of romantic relationships. However, in both gay and heterosexual men, traditional masculinity ideology and a male identity characterized by a lack of psychological relatedness to other men were associated with lower quality romantic relationships.


text: Has anyone here ever used lucas oil treatment (not the motorcycle oil) or additive in their bike? The reason for the question is I found I can buy kendall 5/w-40 full synth oil that is API SM for $2.77 quart and a 2867 champ filter (2.5" rather than 3.5") for $1.50 and lucas is $9.87 a quart. If I was to only use half a pint per LOF my cost is still less than $15 per LOF and I could do them every 3 months reguardless of mileage.Also I would not have to warehouse supplies and the labor is done by one of my minions-good plan or bad plan?

Compare great AC Minor Repairs prices in Hackney with Who Can Fix My Car.
Quite simply, brilliant! The service and care was first rate. Will definitely be using Car Technic in the future and would not hesitate to recommend on.
The price for the service was a bit over what was quoted, and unfortunately my car needed a new part which took the price well over the quote. However communication with Daniel was clear and timely, he was able to pick up and drop off the car which was great and he kept me informed of what needed to be done and he was able to order and fit the new part all at the sometime and provided a fully costed receipt, all of which was appreciated. So while more than I was hoping to pay, I was happy with the job and would use Daniel again.
Daniel was really professional and did a great job. He gave an interim service to my twinair Fiat Panda for £160 and it needed 2 front tyres to pass the MOT at £55 each. He collected the car in the morning and returned it cleaned and serviced at the end of the day. Would highly recommend him and I'd not hesitate to use him again.
Great independent garage. Quick, positive and hit my car through the MOT without the slightest of issues. Friendly guy too - top marks
Top notch service. Dan picked up my car dirty, did a full service, brake pads and brake fluid change and dropped it back off to me clean and shiny the next evening. Did me a great deal also! Will definitely be going back to Car Technic in the future.
Great customar service very helpful , thankQ guyz
Great job 10/10!
Really happy with the service provided, the work was done faster then expected and the mechanics where very professional and honest. Highly recommend.
I received fantastic customer service. The mechanic had me up and running in no time.

As a strong Christian, I can understand where this diet is coming from. When we live our lives according to His plan, we are happier and healthier. If we're feeding our soul with His word, it fits that we would want to feed our bodies with His food. I feel like this "makers diet" is just what I need to live healthier.
I'm happy I found Maker's Diet. We have a cool little health food store by my house and I feel good just walking in there. I've been able to find great food I probably never would have otherwise. Yay!

The Story (continued)
The Maltese Falcon (1941)
Spade returns to his office, where Effie tells him about his phone calls - three from Iva, a call from the DA's office, and a call from a Mr. Gutman - saying that he had received Spade's message from "the young man." (In a moment of insight, Spade realizes that Mr. Gutman is the 'Fat Man.') Effie has also admitted Brigid into Spade's inner office where she is waiting for him. In his office, a distraught Brigid tells Spade that her apartment has been thoroughly searched ("Darling, somebody's been in my apartment. It's all upside down, every which way"). Spade suspects Cairo might have lied about the "police grilling" and ransacked her place in the meantime - he is still baffled by the twisting turns of the film's plot:
I've got to keep in some sort of touch with all the loose ends of this dizzy affair if I'm ever gonna make heads or tails of it.
With her "woman's intuition," Effie feels protective of Brigid (rating her as "all right") - having been beguiled by Miss O'Shaughnessy's persuasive smile and manner. Effie agrees to let the endangered Brigid stay at her own apartment for safekeeping since Brigid refuses to return to her own place. After he phones the DA's office to set up an appointment for 2:30 that afternoon, the dark image of Iva Archer shows up in front of Spade. "Mad, crazy with jealousy," Iva admits she sent the police to Spade's apartment the previous night and begs for his forgiveness. He wonders if she had murdered Miles and whether she has an alibi:
Spade: By the way, where were you the night Miles was murdered?
Iva: Home. (He disagrees by shaking his head.) I was!
Spade: No, but if that's your story, it's all right with me.
Impatient to deal with her and revealing his misogynistic tendencies, he sends her along on her way. His ringing phone brings an invitation to see Gutman immediately.
Spade proceeds to Gutman's hotel suite (Room 12C), where he is greeted at the door by Gutman's ferretty gunsel, Wilmer. [Cairo and Gutman are both members of an international gang of crooks.] Spade meets Cairo's partner, Kaspar Gutman or the 'Fat Man' (Sydney Greenstreet in his film debut at the age of 61), wearing a black penguin-like waistcoat. He puts both of his hands on Spade's right arm as he leads him to a chair. In their first meeting together, a classic scene, Gutman is supremely interested in retrieving the bird and outfoxing Spade, as he speaks in oratorical fashion and peppers his words with aphorisms. Likewise, Spade is intent on trapping Archer's killer and discovering how Gutman is involved in the conspiracy to acquire the falcon.
Gutman's great bulk (enormous gut) is emphasized by low-angle shots in front of a curtained window, and his cultured talk with impeccable manners conceals his disregard for everything but the bird. He pours Spade a stiff drink, emphasizes the importance of straight-talking, betrays some homosexual tendencies ("I'm a man who likes talking to a man...") and waits for Spade's reaction, but there isn't one. Spade explains that he is acting on his own behalf - he's not there "as Miss O'Shaughnessy's representative":
Gutman: We begin well, sir. I distrust a man who says 'when'. If he's got to be careful not to drink too much, it's because he's not to be trusted when he does. Well, sir, here's to plain speaking and clear understanding. (They drink.) You're a close-mouthed man.
Spade: No, I like to talk.
Gutman: Better and better. I distrust a close-mouthed man. He generally picks the wrong time to talk and says the wrong things. (Gutman offers Spade a cigar.) Talking's something you can't do judiciously unless you keep in practice. Now, sir, we'll talk if you like. I'll tell you right out - I'm a man who likes talking to a man who likes to talk.
Spade: Swell. Will we talk about the black bird?
Gutman (chuckling): You're the man for me, sir. No beating about the bush, right to the point. Let's talk about the black bird, by all means. But first, answer me a question. Are you here as Miss O'Shaughnessy's representative?
Spade: Well, there's nothing certain either way. It depends.
Gutman: It depends on? Maybe it depends on Joel Cairo.
Spade: Maybe.
Gutman: The question is, then, which you represent. It'll be one or the other.
Spade: I didn't say so.
Gutman: Who else is there?
Spade: There's me.
Gutman: Ah. That's wonderful sir, wonderful. I do like a man who tells you right out he's looking out for himself. Don't we all? I don't trust a man who says he's not.
In their competitive jockeying for position, Spade compliments Gutman for being the only one to fully understand the nature of the "black bird" and know its real value ("You know what it is"). Spade also reveals that he knows the bird's whereabouts, but waits for Gutman to release further information first. And then he has a temper tantrum - he smashes his drink glass to the floor, accuses Gutman of wasting his time, and storms out of the suite with a threatening ultimatum:
Spade: Uh-huh. Now, let's talk about the black bird.
Gutman: Lets. Mr. Spade, have you any conception of how much money can be got for that black bird?
Spade: No.
Gutman: Well, sir, if I told you - if I told you half, you'd call me a liar.
Spade: No, not even if I thought so. But you tell me what it is and I'll figure out the profit.
Gutman: (chuckles) You mean you don't know what that bird is?
Spade: Oh, I know what it's supposed to look like. (Coldly) And I know the value in human life you people put on it.
Gutman: She didn't tell you what it is? Cairo didn't either?
Spade: He offered me ten thousand for it.
Gutman (dismissively): Ten thousand. Dollars, mind you, not even pounds. Do they know what that bird is, sir? What is your impression?
Spade: Oh, there's not very much to go by. Cairo didn't say he did and he didn't say he didn't. She said she didn't, but, uh, I took it for granted she was lying.
Gutman: Not an injudicious thing to do. (Smiles with purpose) If they don't know, I'm the only one in the whole wide, sweet world who does.
Spade: Swell. When you've told me, that'll make two of us.
Gutman: Mathematically correct, sir, but I don't know for certain that I'm going to tell you.
Spade: Oh, don't be foolish. You know what it is and I know where it is. That's why I'm here.
Gutman: Well, sir, where is it? You see, I must tell you what I know but you won't tell me what you know. That's hardly equitable, sir. No, no, I don't think we can do business along those lines.
Spade (violently angry): (He tosses his cigar away in disgust) Now think again and think fast. I told that gunsel of yours you'd have to talk to me before you're through. I'm telling you now, you'll talk to me today or you are through! (Throwing his drink to the floor.) What are you wasting my time for? I can get along without you! And another thing: Keep that gunsel out of my way when you're makin' up your mind! I'll kill him if you don't, I'll kill him!
Gutman (calmly): Well, sir, I must say you have a most violent temper.
Spade (leaving): Think it over. You've got till 5 o'clock, then you're either in or out! For keeps!
Their conversation reaches a standoff because neither party is willing to divulge what he knows first. Feigning impatient greed, Spade is infuriated that Gutman will not reveal more about the bird and gives Gutman until later that evening to talk. Smiling and laughing to himself in the hallway while departing, Spade is self-satisfied with his dramatic false display of rage as a man with "a most violent temper." Yet he glances down at his hands at the elevator, noticing that they are visibly trembling as a result of his violent outburst. He enters a descending elevator just as Cairo steps off the other ascending car without seeing him.
In the next scene at the District Attorney's office after being pulled in, Spade is questioned about the two murders by a strait-laced Bryan (his responses are recorded by a stenographer), but he refuses to bend to any questions. He admits, however, that "Everybody has something to conceal." In a scene similar in tone to the one with Gutman, he tells them off with a provocative tone, knowing that they have nothing on him. He demands that the law leave him alone and not intimidate him any further so that he can continue his investigation into the murder cases and clear his name:
And as far as I can see, my best chance of clearing myself from the trouble you're trying to make for me is by bringing in the murderers all tied up. And the only chance I've got of catching them and tying them up and bringing them in is by staying as far away as possible from you and the police because you'd only gum up the works...Now if you want to go to the board and tell them I'm obstructing justice and ask them to revoke my license - hop to it! You tried it once before and it didn't get you anything but a good laugh all around...And I don't want any more of these informal talks. I have nothing to say to you or the police. And I'm tired of being called things by every crackpot on the city payrolls. So if you want to see me, pinch me or subpoena me or something and I'll come down with my lawyer. I'll see you at the inquest - maybe.
On a sunny street outside his office building, Spade is summoned by Wilmer to meet with Gutman again. Presumably, the 'Fat Man' has decided to reveal the mystery of the bird. Wilmer, a caricature of a young-faced killer, an adolescent in a world of real killers, conceals his guns with his hands stuck in his coat pockets. Spade enjoys needling the weak gunman. Wilmer threatens Spade after another insult:
Wilmer: Keep on ridin' me. They're gonna be pickin' iron out of your liver.
Spade: (laughing) The cheaper the crook, the gaudier the patter, huh?
In the hotel corridor outside Gutman's hotel room suite, Spade moves behind Wilmer and uses the gunsel's own coat to pin his arms and then take his guns away. He tells a disgruntled Wilmer: "Come on. This will put you in solid with your boss." In front of Gutman, he embarrasses and humiliates the bungling Wilmer by handing the weapons over to the gunman's boss, explaining: "Here. You shouldn't let him go around with these. I know he might get himself hurt...A crippled newsie took 'em away from him, but I made him give them back!" Gutman appreciatively compliments Spade with a deep belly laugh - and one of his many trademark 'by gad' statements [Censors had replaced the screenplay's 'By God']:
By gad, Sir. You are a chap worth knowing, an amazing character...
Gutman, now wearing a robe with silk lapels, dismisses Wilmer to the back room and again sits down with Spade. Over drinks (that are replenished by Gutman), they "talk about the black bird." Spade finally learns from the eloquent criminal all about the exotic history, origin, and value of the valuable black bird statuette. It was made in 1539 from gold and jewels from the coffers of the crusading Knights of Rhodes (the order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem): "We all know the Holy Wars to them were largely a matter of loot." Buccaneer pirates stole the jewel-encrusted bird when it was sent by galley ships from the Knights of Rhodes to Emperor Charles V of Spain, as a tribute, in appreciation for his granting them the island of Malta: "It never reached Spain." Then in 1713 after its long disappearance, the bird turned up again in Sicily. In 1840, it re-appeared in Paris, where by that time, it had acquired a painted coat of black enamel "so that it looked nothing more than a fairly interesting black statuette." Afterwards, it "kicked around Paris for over three score years by private owners too stupid to see what it was under the skin."
Years later in 1923, a Greek antique dealer found the falcon in an "obscure shop" and recognized its real value. While researching the bird's history, the dealer re-enameled the bird with another coat of black paint. The dealer's establishment was burglarized and he was murdered - and the falcon was stolen again, before Gutman could acquire it. Gutman reveals that in his passionate, obsessive quest for the last 17 years ("I'm a man not easily discouraged when I want something"), he has been trying to locate the bird - and often has just missed getting his hands on it. The falcon was then traced to the home of a Russian general (named Kemidov) in an Istanbul suburb. Gutman offered to purchase it and sent hired agents [Brigid and Thursby] to get it, but failed because they betrayed him:
I made him an offer, so I sent him some - ah, agents, to get it. Well, sir, they got it - and I haven't got it - BUT I'm going to get it.
Gutman believes that the owner of the black bird with "a clear title" is the one who owns it "by right of possession." He sits next to Spade, touches his knee repeatedly, and learns that Spade can produce the bird in a couple of days. So the Fat Man promises to offer Spade $50,000: $25,000 for the bird's delivery and either another $25,000 later on or one-fourth of the proceeds from its sale (the more valuable of the two options). He gloats while speculating on the bird's real value - possibly between a quarter of a million and a million dollars:
Gutman: That would amount to a vastly greater sum.
Spade: How much greater?
Gutman: Who knows? Should we say a hundred thousand? Would you believe me if I name a sum that seems a probable minimum?
Spade: Why not?
Gutman: What would you say to a quarter of a million?
Spade: And you think the dingus is worth a million, huh?...That's a lot of dough....Minimum, huh? What's the maximum?
Gutman: The maximum I refuse to guess. You'd think me crazy. I don't know. No telling how high it could go, sir. It is the one and only truth about it.
As Spade thinks of his options and ponders the falcon's vast worth, his vision unexpectedly blurs. Drugged by Gutman during the long, drawn-out tale so that the knockout drug will take effect, Spade stands up, staggers, lurches forward and knocks into a small flower table as he grabs his hat. Wilmer is called from the back room - he trips the unsteady Spade and sends him sprawling to the floor where he passes out before he can leave. As the conspirators (Cairo, Gutman, and Wilmer) hastily depart in search of the black bird, Wilmer savagely kicks Spade in the right side of his head.
Later on after several hours (darkness has fallen), Spade regains consciousness. He calls Effie to discover that Brigid didn't show up as planned. When he tells her to go to his office, he adds some scolding ("Let's do something right for a change"). In a search of Gutman's hotel suite, Spade finds a vital clue - a newspaper clipping with a notice of Shipping News. Under "Arriving Today," 5:35 pm - La Paloma from Hong Kong has been circled. Spade rushes to the docks just in time to find that the abandoned ship is on fire. One of the dock officers (Emory Parnell) tells Spade that the crew and passengers have survived. Spade then returns to his office, where Effie tends to his bruised face, and he speculates that he was bluffed: "Maybe they went down to the ship, maybe they didn't."
Suddenly, a gaunt, dying man with a black hat pulled down over his face staggers into Spade's inner office to deliver the black bird, crudely wrapped in newspapers. Effie screams. As he clutches and then drops the bundled-up bird, collapsing dead, the man murmurs: "You know...the falcon." Spade searches the wallet of the dead man who has been shot to death and discovers it is La Paloma's Merchant Marine Captain Jacobi. [Walter Huston, director Huston's father and a veteran character actor, unbilled in the credits, appears in the cameo role as a good luck gesture for his son's directoral debut. He would re-appear as one of the main characters in his son's The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (1948), and between the two of them, they won three of the film's four Academy Awards nominations.] With a wide, lascivious grin, affected like so many others on the search for the bird, Spade unwraps the newspapers. Revealing that he isn't much unlike the other villainous and greedy characters, he exults to Effie that he possesses the valuable, coveted statuette: "We've got it, angel. We've got it." He simultaneously grabs Effie's wrist, causing her pain, as she squirms: "You're hurting..."
While they discuss this turn of events, Brigid phones, and gives her location: 26 Ancho Street in Burlingame. But then she screams, signalling that she is in trouble - and the line goes dead. Effie interprets that she is in danger and needs Spade's immediate assistance ("Go help her, Sam"). She thinks that the Captain was helping Brigid and they killed him, and Brigid is the next target. Spade orders Effie to call the police after he is gone and tell them how the captain died - but omitting the part about the falcon ("the bundle"). As Spade leaves, he pats Effie on the arm: "You're a good man, sister."
Spade takes the newspaper-wrapped falcon under his arm to a baggage parcel area of the Union Bus Terminal and checks it, then mails himself the claim check stub - addressed to his own postal address at Box 589, P. O. Station C. in the City. Spade hires a taxi to take him to rescue Brigid at 26 Ancho Street, but it is revealed to be an empty lot (for sale) next to a Grocery and Meat Market. He suspects that she tricked him with a fake address - a "bum steer" and "hooey" to get him out of the way. Spade realizes that Brigid has always been a psychopathic liar and that she is as deeply involved in the pursuit of the bird as everyone else.
When he returns and is entering the outer doors of his San Francisco apartment, Spade finds a weakened and breathless Brigid waiting (and hiding) for him in a doorway up the street. The two of them head up the elevator to his apartment - when he flicks on the lights, Wilmer is hiding and lying in wait with gun drawn behind the front door. Gutman (seated) and Cairo are in the living room waiting for them.
Cleverly, he brings together the alliance of self-interested, greedy falcon-seekers to find out the true story. In the tense, final sequence in Spade's apartment, Wilmer wants to frisk Spade, but he won't allow it: "Take your paws off me or I'll make you use that gun. Ask your boss if he wants me shot up before we talk." Gutman calls off his gunsel: "Never mind, Wilmer." Tempted by the financial allure of the bird, Spade asks for his first payment for the falcon ("Are you ready to make the first payment, and take the falcon off my hands?") - Gutman tests Spade and hands him an envelope with $10,000 - less than the $25,000 promised earlier. Gutman tells Spade why the cash he is handing him is far less than he offered earlier:
Gutman: Yes, sir, we were, but this is genuine coin of the realm. With a dollar of this you can buy ten dollars of talk. And they're more of us to be taken care of now.
Spade: That may be, but I've got the falcon.
Cairo: (sternly) ...you may have the falcon, but we certainly have you.
Rather than talk about money issues, Spade is more concerned about finding a believable "fall guy" - someone that the police can pin the murders on. [Spade counts three murders - including the Captain's killing. But Cairo counts only two - Thursby killed Archer.] Spade shrewdly proposes two-bit gunsel Wilmer as an appropriate, logical choice for a 'fall guy':
Spade: I'm in this up to my neck, Gutman. I've got to find somebody - a victim - when the time comes. If I don't, I'll be it. Let's give 'em the gunsel. He actually did shoot Thursby and Jacobi, didn't he? Anyway, he's made to order for the part, look at him. Let's give him to 'em.
Gutman: (bursting out laughing) By gad, sir, you are a character, that you are. There's never any telling what you'll say or do next, except that it's bound to be something astonishing.
At first, Gutman refuses to hand over Wilmer - feeling indebted to his 'son.' [At the time of the novel's writing by Hammett, 'gunsel' strictly meant a young homosexual partner kept by an older man. Its meaning was stretched in the film to include Wilmer's function as a gun-toting bodyguard.]
I feel towards Wilmer here just exactly as if he were my own son.
He is concerned that Wilmer would tell police "every last detail" about the falcon. But Spade reassures Gutman that the police won't listen to Wilmer in their eagerness to convict him ("I'll guarantee you nobody will do anything about it"). Wilmer is quietly seething with internal rage at Spade for even suggesting his guilt: "Mighty funny." Sam reassures Brigid who sits nervously to the side: "How do you feel now, any better precious?...Don't be [frightened]. Nothing very bad is going to happen here." Spade convinces Gutman that the DA "standing on his head" could easily convict Wilmer. The gunsel is infuriated by this ultimate threat and moves close to Spade with his gun:
Get up on your feet. I've taken all the riding from you I'm gonna take. Get up and shoot it out.
After Gutman calls off Wilmer and refuses to give him up, Spade suggests other fall-guy alternatives - he nominates Cairo - and even Brigid:
Spade: (pointing) Give them Cairo.
Gutman: (chuckling) Well, by gad, sir.
Cairo: (incensed) And suppose we give them you or Miss O'Shaughnessy? How about that, huh?
Spade: You want the falcon. I've got it. The fall guy's part of the price I'm asking. As for Miss O'Shaughnessy, if you think she can be rigged for the part, I'm perfectly willing to discuss it with you.
When Gutman threatens to torture Spade (a "means of persuasion") to find the falcon's location, Spade cleverly negotiates and bets that Gutman won't gamble foolishly and kill him. To get at the truth, Spade realizes the fine line he is walking as he pragmatically analyzes the delicacy and dangerous nature of his alternatives:
Spade: If you kill me, how are you gonna get the bird? And if I know you can't afford to kill me, how are you gonna scare me into giving it to you?
Gutman: Well, sir, there are other means of persuasion besides killing and threatening to kill.
Spade: Yes, that's, that's true. But - they're none of 'em any good unless the threat of death is behind them - do you see what I mean? If you start something, I'll make it a matter of your having to kill me or call it off.
Gutman: (chuckling) That's an attitude, sir, that calls for the most delicate judgment on both sides. 'Cause as you know, sir, in the heat of action, men are likely to forget where their best interests lie and that their emotions carry them away.
Spade: Then the trick from my angle is to make my play strong enough to tie you up, but not make you mad enough to bump me off against your better judgment.
Gutman: By gad, sir, you are a character.
Cairo whispers into Gutman's ear - lending his final judgment to Spade's suggestion to give up Wilmer. Spade announces the stakes:
(To Wilmer) Six, two and even, they're selling you out, sonny. (To Gutman) I hope you're not letting yourself be influenced by the guns these pocket-edition desperados are waving around, because I've practiced taking guns away from these boys before so we'll have no trouble there.
Acutely paranoid that he is going to be offered up by his side, a furious Wilmer (after being called a "pocket-edition desperado" by Spade) again threatens Spade with his gun. Spade, who correctly claims that he had "practiced taking guns away from these boys before," knocks him out cold and confiscates his gun. In an agreed-upon exchange, Gutman will give up Wilmer as the fall guy and Spade promises to deliver the "dingus" the next morning. Gutman summarizes their deal:
In exchange for the $10,000 and Wilmer, you'll give us the falcon and an hour or two of grace...

Music Club's Name that Tune: September 26th, 2011
By Kristin A. Smith
Standing under studio lights, two contestants selected from the audience nervously stared at Tom Kennedy as he would coolly explains the rules of the game. With many games to play, Melody Roulette was a popular staple of the show. To play, a wheel was spun onstage to determine the cash and prizes the contestants could win if they were the first to name the tune playing. The player to walk away with the most in cash and prizes also gained ten points. Then the contestants would move into the next round where another game commonly played was Bid-a-Note. Here, players were given clues about a song and asked to bid on how many notes they would need to identify that song. Once the bidding stopped, the contestant with the lowest bid of notes needed to successfully name that tune with the limited amount of notes given. The player who could name the most tunes would gain ten points. In the third round, worth twenty points, the contestants usually played Sing-a-Tune, which had them write down the name of a song being sung by a live singer. After these three rounds were completed, the contestant with the highest score moved on to the Golden Medley bonus round. In this round, players had thirty seconds to correctly identify seven songs in order to win more prizes before leaving the show. Understanding what was expected of them, Tom Kennedy would start everything off by saying, Now lets play, Name That Tune!
It goes without saying that Name That Tune was a popular prime time television game show in its day. The Music Club would now like to recreate the same excitement by bringing the game show to Dowling College on September 26th, 2011 at 7:00pm. In the ballroom, contestants will have the chance to win fabulous prizes, such as Pandora bracelets through various raffles. There will also be a 50/50 raffle to add to the fun of the evening. A variety of food will be available, as well as, gluten free food for all to enjoy. An optional fee of $5.00 will be collected at the door and all proceeds will be donated to the American Diabetes Association Walk, which will be held in October. Additional announcements concerning future events sponsored by the club will also be announced at this event. So, if you are ready to meet new people and have a great time, come on down and put your musical knowledge to the test. Hope to see you there!

The Dowling College GSA is one of the many active clubs on campus that provides a unique and entertaining atmosphere for student participation. Entering into its second year of existence, the club has introduced a wide variety of events and meetings to keep members as active as possible throughout the college community. It is the goal of the organization to create a safe space on campus which fights to end discrimination and educate the student body on LGBT issues and causes. The executive board works annually to promote on campus visibility and allow students, who fall under the LGBT group, to feel welcome and safe. Last year alone, the past executive board recruited new members of all sexual orientation and created a family environment for students who lacked a supportive home situation. Although the organization focuses on LGBT issues, the members encourage all students to participate and become involved. The club does not focus on altering local politics nor does it ever push individual or societal beliefs on any student attending an event or meeting. The club instead focuses solely on providing an educational view of LGBT rights and encouraging safe space actions on campus.
Some of you reading this may be questioning the meaning of the term 'safe space' and how it functions within a student body. Safe spaces are designed as designated rooms, offices, schools, organizations, or other group or individual locations that vow to create a safe and non-discriminatory atmosphere that will accept and aid any individual regardless of his or her race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, etc, with a focus on promoting anti-homosexual bullying awareness to LGBT youth and individuals. These locations are marked with a safe space sticker to indicate involvement and support. This sticker is usually marked with the symbolic LGBT rainbow and information on the specific safe space. Dowling students can find these safe space stickers around campus, outside staff office doors, and resident rooms. The Dowling GSA has an abundant supply for any student that wishes to post a safe space sticker on his or her door or belongings.
In regards to planned activities and meetings, President Melissa Theodorakatos has organized a variety of events to satisfy all members in terms of creating a healthy balance between entertainment and education. She will continue to work with the club's executive board during the year to ensure all events are as successful as possible. As always, any student involvement and help is greatly appreciated. The first event this semester is the GSA Rainbow September Welcome, taking place during the annual college club expo that will be held on Wednesday, September 7th from 11–4pm outside the Racanelli Center. The club encourages all interested students to stop by for free face painting, tie-dye making, and informational kits provided by the organization. The kits will include a list of all other upcoming events and meetings for the semester, as well as other information about the club's executive board and local LGBT associations. It is a great opportunity to meet the active members and get an idea of the work the organization takes part in around campus. In addition, the club will continue to host their traditional monthly family nights that continue to provide dinner and a movie for all attendees, as well as their annual Drag Ball, AIDS walk, and Pridefest March.
If you wish to join the Dowling College GSA mailing list, or to become involved in our upcoming events, please contact President Melissa at firstname.lastname@example.com.
In addition, Melissa also extends an open invitation to all students to contact her for any personal issues they need assistance with. These issues can range from LGBT related advice to general freshman questions regarding college adjustment or information. Last fall, many college and high school students took their own lives due to homosexual related bullying. If you, or someone you know is a victim of gay related or generalized bullying, please feel free to also reach out to her for student advice. The GSA possesses a great deal of information regarding suicide hotlines, counseling centers, and personal health clinics for all Dowling students to use if necessary. Feel free to contact her via email at any time during the semester.
The GSA hopes to see you during the semester!

Like many student organizations at Dowling College, the History Club is a way for students to learn more about the past, while being able to enjoy themselves outside the classroom. With our upcoming events, such as Blast from the Past (Sept. 28th), learning can become more of a leisure activity than an academic requirement. In order to accomplish this goal, we are offering four other social interactions that students can enjoy: Constitution Day (Sept. 15th), Oktoberfest (Oct. 5th), which was a big success year before, the Presidents Lecture (Mar 7th), and a 40s theme dance (Apr. 5th) that will be held in the hanger on the Brookhaven campus.
The History Club also pays its respects to important moments of our nations history. This is accomplished with such events as the Veterans Day tribute (Nov 9th) and a trip to Ground Zero (Apr. 19th). With a strong foundation from the previous year and a sturdy executive board, the History Club is guaranteed to have another successful year.

Alpha Eta Rho (AHP) is an International Collegiate Fraternity that has been active at Dowling College for over 40 years. The purposes of AHP are to further the cause of aviation in all of its branches, to instill in the public mind a confidence in aviation, to promote contacts between the students of aviation and those engaged in the profession and to maintain and promote the highest moral standards as members of this unique fraternity. With that in mind, we are closely working with Dowlings aviation clubs to plan and organize events for the student body. Membership is open to any aviation student who has a desire to join a family of like-minded students who will support one another throughout their careers in aviation. Information regarding the new member interest meeting for the fall will be posted around campus. To find us, keep an eye out around both campuses for our members wearing black and gold A.H.P. shirts. They will be more than willing to answer any questions you may have.

The Keeping It Real Club is geared towards helping both new and current students become acclimated with the college way of life by mentoring, tutoring, listening to student concerns and more.

Recently, the Keeping It Real Club has been working closely with the Honors Program and will be having an Honors Reception on Wednesday, September 14th at 2:30pm to bring members of both the Honors Program and faculty together to discuss how they can make a difference in the life of other Dowling students.
Our September Welcome event will be a Caribbean style barbeque known as the One Love Barbeque. This event will be held on Tuesday, September 20th at 2:30pm on the Racanelli Lawn. In the event of rain, it will be held in the ballroom. Come on down to this event and enjoy the Caribbean style music, games, jerk chicken, Jamaican beef patties and so much more!
Other events that we will be hosting throughout the year include Milk and Cookies Peer Tutoring (which will be held during midterms and finals), the Having Your Say forum where students will be able to sit with faculty and staff and address their current issues with the school, the trip to the Zombie Walk in Asbury, New Jersey, Game Nights and an end of the year picnic at Belmont State Park.
If you have a passion for helping others, this is the club for you. We will be looking for people that will be interested in volunteering their time for tutoring sessions in all areas of concentration. Please do not hesitate to e-mail myself (Robert Huether) to find out more about the club and our upcoming meeting dates at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Either way, I truly wish you all the best of luck for this upcoming year.

Case studies and strategies for community involvement in promoting and preserving public places
Heywood, Philip R. (1996) Case studies and strategies for community involvement in promoting and preserving public places. In National Trust Conference on Urban Conservation, 1996, Old Government House, George Street, Brisbane.
Community involvement can be one of the most effective strategies for promoting and preserving public places. Three case studies are presented , indicating the important role played by community organization in preventing commercialization of significant public spaces. They are drawn from central Brisbane, its inner suburbs and Mount Glorious, a nearby mountain area of high landscape value. The lessons that are derived for community involvement are that campaigns follow a general four stage sequence of objectives, conflict, negotiation and resolution . A number of positive approaches are identified including use of the planning system, formation of local voluntary groups, community action and political organization. Techniques are outlined to identify the character and significance of public places based on community values and interpretation; and to incorporate cultural, social and environmental heritage lists in local planning schemes .

I did pretty well with the lunches the first year- not so well after that :-) Now I think I'll just focus on food- all kinds of food- for all kinds of meals. I'll include comments on wine, pictures, food prep equipment, and recipes. I hope I meet people along the way who have suggestions for new lunches, and other recipes, and new kitchen gadgets of all kinds.
