TAMPA — It was a chilly 59 degrees at Wildcat Stadium, and Plant coach Robert Weiner, just doused with a cooler full of water, was dripping wet. But the last thing on Weiner's mind was how cold he was.
With a 46-13 win against Wharton on Friday, the Panthers were once again district champions. It was the ninth straight for Plant (7-1, 4-0 Class 8A, District 6), but the smile on his face looked as if it came from a first-timer.
"I don't think you ever get used to it," Weiner said.
The district clincher wasn't supposed to be as easy as it was. Plant's Colby Brown entered with 1,532 passing yards, Wharton's Chase Litton with 1,600. The night was supposed to be a showcase of quarterbacks with big arms.
But soon after kickoff, it appeared only one got the invitation.
The Panthers scored quickly. Brown found a leaping Austin Hudson in the corner of the end zone for an 8-yarder.
That first score, Weiner said, set the tone.
"He gives a pulse to this team every game," Weiner said of Brown, who finished with 177 passing yards.
"Even a game like this, when we come and it was real quiet everywhere to begin with, he gives us that life. I think that (drive is) what sparked us the whole way."
Wharton's first drive would be its longest of the night, but it ended with consecutive broken up passes. One haunted Plant defensive back Derrick Baity.
The Plant offense teased the defense all week about its lack of interceptions. So when Litton threw the ball deep on third and 15, Baity tried to pick it off, but the ball fell to the ground.
"I've got to get it back for my team," Baity said he told himself.
On Litton's first pass of the second quarter, he did.
With 8:32 to go before halftime and Plant leading 14-0 after it tacked on a pair of field goals, Baity intercepted Litton at the Wharton 25.
He looked up, saw an open path to the end zone and ran for the first defensive touchdown of his career.
The Panthers went on to add three more touchdowns, two from Fletcher Barnes, before halftime, and the final one on a 60-yard punt return by Scoop Bradshaw in the fourth quarter.
But perhaps the stars of the night were the ones keeping the points off the board, not putting them on. Plant held Litton to just 37 yards passing in the first half, after which the Wildcats (6-3, 2-2) trailed 35-0.
"I don't think he's played a defensive line like the Panthers," Baity said. "They were feasting on him. They were getting at him, and he had to get rid of the ball."
Litton finished with 165 yards and a pair of touchdowns. But by the time he found his rhythm, it was too late.
After the game, Weiner was quick to commend the hard work of his team, which celebrated on the field around him. But he also couldn't forget about district titles one through eight, which paved the way for Friday.
"Nine straight says what I tell them all the time," he said.
'We've been standing on the shoulders of giants.' "

>> DRIVING THE DAY: Google's prepared to sell Motorola at a huge loss, by Matthew Yglesias: "Google never really integrated phone-maker Motorola Mobility into the rest of its business after paying $12.5 billion for it back in 2012, and now it's a good thing since it's going to unload the mobility division to Lenovo for a bit less than $3 billion in cash and stock. On its face that's a ~$9 billion price for some of Motorola's patents, which looks terrible. But Google sold Motorola's set-top box division already for ~$2.3 billion, and also acquired about $3 billion in cash when it acquired Motorola. So on net it's more like they come away about $5 billion poorer and in exchange get the patents. Not a great deal but not a terrible one. For Lenovo it's basically a cheap way to get into the handset market." Slate

SPY: US intelligence chief has 30 days to reveal if specific citizens were spied upon, by Adi Robertson: "...remarkably hostile Senate hearing pitted Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, FBI head James Comey, and their Congressional supporters against senators who wanted hard, public answers to questions whose answers have been kept ambiguous or under wraps to all but a few officials. In a series of curt questions, Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR), a longtime surveillance critic, extracted hard promises of information from the NSA, CIA, and FBI. Within 30 days, Clapper has agreed to reveal whether intelligence agencies have ever searched through records for information about specific US citizens. CIA director John Brennan will answer within a week whether the limits of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act apply to his agency.

Thompson & Morgan strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. Sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this, so regretfully we are unable to ship live plants to the following areas: GY, HS, IV41-IV56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
20 Asparagus Crowns - 5 Of Each Variety (T99664P)
40 Asparagus Crowns - 10 Of Each Variety (T99671P)
Weed asparagus beds by hand as the shallow roots may be damaged by hoeing. Water asparagus beds regularly during hot periods, to prevent them from drying out. In autumn cut back the yellowing foliage and mulch the crowns with well rotted manure to protect them from frost. Feed with a general fertiliser each March.
When growing asparagus, resist the temptation to harvest the spears during their first season, but instead allow the plants to develop foliage. A limited crop of spears may be harvested in the second year during April and May when they reach 15cm (6") tall. By the third year, the crop can be fully harvested. It is recommended to stop cutting from the end of May to allow the shoots to develop into foliage. Later harvests can be made but risk weakening the plant.
Prepare permanent asparagus beds well in advance of receiving your order so that the crowns can be planted without delay. Choose a sheltered position in full sun. Asparagus beds should be richly fertile and well drained. Remove all weeds, and incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil to improve soil structure and fertility. On cold, wet soils the addition of sharp sand or grit will help to improve drainage.
Dig long trenches, 20cm (10") deep by 30cm (12") wide, and fill the bottom of the trench with 7cm (3") of well rotted manure or garden compost. Mound up soil on top of the manure to form a ridge along the length of the trench and place the asparagus crowns on top of ridge with their roots draped over the edge of the ridge at a distance of 45cm (18") apart. Cover the crowns with 7cm (3") of soil and firm them into their positions.
Seeds and garden supplies will normally be delivered within the time period stated against each product as detailed above. Plants, bulbs, corms, tubers, shrubs, trees, potatoes etc are delivered at the appropriate time for planting and will be stated on the product page or in your order acknowledgement page and email.
Orders for packets of seed incur a delivery charge of £1.95.
Orders which include any other products will incur a delivery charge of £4.95.
Where an order includes both packets of seeds and other products, a maximum delivery charge of £6.90 will apply - regardless of the number of items ordered.
Large items may incur a higher delivery charge - this will be displayed in your shopping basket.
Please see our Delivery page for further details and details of any surcharges that may apply to certain destinations.
For your complete peace of mind, our Home and Garden products may be returned to us within 30 days of purchase for a refund of the purchase price. Items must be returned unused, at your cost and in mint condition. All items carry a manufacturer's 12 month defects warranty.
Very dry 2016-04-05
I received these plants a few days ago. The bed was already prepared so I went to plant them immediately. When I unpacked them I was disappointed to find that the crowns were very very dry. I would have thought that every effort would have been made to keep the roots moist. I planted them with fingers crossed. I may be proved wrong but I will be very surprised if most of the crowns don't turn out to be "no shows"
T&M replied on 2016-05-04: Thank you for your review. I am sorry to learn of your disappointment with your purchase. If you would like to contact our Customer Care Department at firstname.lastname@example.com, one of our agents will be more than happy to look in to this further for you.
Only when you plant a new bed do you realise how unproductive your old one was! 2012-08-14
Fabulous selection of strong healthy plants, lovely sweet tender varieties, bed is in its first year so trying to leave it alone,have been nibbling the odd spear (even now the bed is still throwing up masses of shoots), crowns are certainly fast to establish. I hadn't realised how unproductive my old bed had become, great decision to make a new bed and love the selection.

Russell Christoff, 58, from California, came across his likeness on a Taster's Choice jar while out shopping in 2002.
A Los Angeles court heard he had posed for a two-hour photo shoot for Nestle in 1986 but had heard nothing since.
Nestle USA plans to appeal against the award, which includes 5% of profits for Taster's Choice from 1997 to 2003.
During that period, jars featuring Mr Christoff's image were sold as far afield as South Korea, Japan and Kuwait, as well as in the US, Canada and Mexico.
Supermodel rates
The Los Angeles County Superior Court jury ordered Nestle USA, a division of Switzerland's Nestle SA, to pay out after deciding it used Mr Christoff's image without his permission and profited from it.
Mr Christoff had previously turned down a $100,000 (£53,000) settlement offer from the company. Nestle USA in turn declined his offer to settle for $8.5m (£4.5m).
Lawrence Heller, a lawyer for Nestle USA, said the company would appeal against the jury's verdict.
He said the employee who had used the ex-model's image had done so believing consent had been given.
Mr Christoff's lawyer said his client had not expected such a large award.
The payout compares well with the rates top supermodels can expect.
Linda Evangelista famously said she would not wake up for less than $10,000 a day, while Forbes magazine put Cindy Crawford's 2001 earnings at $6.3m.

Single Vanos Seals! Done

I did a double today :-D
Speaking of VANOS seals, I too had a pretty decent run at slaying the dragon today
I know the debate seems to continue on relevance this particular "fix-it", but if it helps advance the dialogue any, here's my situation...
'00 528iAT with 156k purchased approximately four months ago exhibiting textbook behavior as described in the Besian DIY:
"Cars with the M52TU engine (98/99-00) experience cold weather cold start idle jolts and possible stall."
It doesn't even get that cold here in SoCal, but apparently cold enough. Occasionally the car would even go into limp mode after a rough start and I would simply coast to the end of my street, shut the car off, start it back up and it would be okay. In addition, cjwheeling (another poster on this board) is a friend/dealer who I purchased the car from, he agreed the car felt a little "weak" at low RPMs compared to other e39's he's had.
So far this weekend, I addressed the coil issue outlined here:
by getting another matching Bosch coil. The plugs look almost brand new and are pictured in the same thread.
See anything familiar? Unfortunately, my mechanical tensioners didn't make it at the same time as the other stuff
This is probably nothing new, but here's how I got my fan off:
Without a third hand, I couldn't take a picture off both tools on the fan, but you can see how I grabbed the two pulley bolts with the channel locks. With the 32mm wrench positioned not quite parallel to the channel locks, it was relatively easy to break the nut free (spray first).
Once inside, it looked pretty good except from some buildup you can see upper right:
... and some buildup on the VANOS itself:
Chain guides look okay:
Camshaft wear... I don't know if that looks good or bad...
Final prep for surgery:
Custom plasma bottle for catching fluids from exhaust side:
I've got the VANOS, the VCG, grommets, coils, etc. all put back together, but with out my tensioners, I called it a day... I should be getting those and the resonator I broke off the air box (another story) tomorrow. Once it's ALL back together (which should be tomorrow), I'll report back on first impressions, etc.

SLC has a transit master plan out, with what seems undue haste. (I missed the comment period, and I am what one might called 'engaged' on the topic, being both a transit planner and a SLC Citizen.
Check it out here.
Looks like it was started in 2015, which public data collection done in mid-2015. And is just being released now? I know SLC lost it's transportation director, but the 'hang-fire' on this makes me wonder if there isn't something else going on, politics-wise.

Discussion in 'History Zone' started by fgoodwin, Apr 21, 2012.
Jun 28 - DCC: Fourteen cheerleaders who resigned return but their director does not (1989); Birthdays: Chuck Howley (LB: 1961-73, b. 1936), Ryan Young (T: 2003, b. 1976)
Trivia: (1) Although he gets the blame, it actually wasn't Jerry's idea to put the DCC in halter tops and biker shorts; whose idea was it? (2) Who was the DCC Director who resigned? (3) What is Howley's nickname?
1. Tony Romo
2. Debbie Bond
3. Chuck
Jun 29 - Milestones: Tony Dorsett attempts comeback, works out at Valley Ranch (1990), Collective Bargaining Agreement approved (1993), Keith Davis shot outside a strip club (2003), Flozell Adams visits Steelers (2010); Re-signed: Mark Stepnoski (1994); Birthdays: Joe DeCamillis (Asst coach: 2009-11, b. 1965), Bobby King (Assistant coach: 2010, b. 1978)
Trivia: Long after he left the Cowboys, he kicked the last points scored by this franchise on this date. Name the player, the team, and the year?
Jun 30 - Traded: J.W. Lockett to Colts (1963); Honors: Danny White inducted into Arena Football League HOF (2002); Birthdays: Miles Austin (WR: 2006-11, b. 1984), Pat Dennis (DB: 2001, b. 1978); Deaths: Jim Doran (1994)
Trivia: (1) Doran was the first Cowboy to receive this recognition -- what was it? (2) How does Austin's 2006 kickoff return average compare all-time among Cowboy rookies?
1. Of course Romo was not with the Cowboys in 1989; it was PR Director Greg Aiello's idea
2. Correct
3. Howley's nickname was "Hogmeat"
1) Pro Bowl 2) 2nd best, he also had the first kickoff return touchdown in Cowboys playoff history
I just figured since Romo gets blamed for everything, even as a little boy it was his fault.
Good point -- of course by that logic we could also blame it on George Bush!
Jul 1 - Waived: Joe Bob Isbell (1962); Signed: Cornell Green (1962), Tony Dixon (2001); Birthdays: Don Bishop (B: 1960-65, b. 1934), Pat Donovan (T: 1975-83, b. 1953)

Ng Tian Hui is the Director of Orchestral Activities and Lecturer in Music at Mount Holyoke College, where he conducts the Orchestra, and teaches courses in conducting, musicianship and performance practice.
An enthusiastic advocate of new music, he has commissioned and conducted premieres of music by Colin Britt, Curt Cacioppo, Zhangyi Chen, Reena Esmail, Americ Goh, Robert Honstein, Emily Koh, Joan Tower and Wong Kah Chun. He is particularly proud of the commission "Ariadne's Lament" by Zhangyi Chen which won the Eric Whitacre Prize given away by the London Symphony Orchestra and the Eric Whitacre Singers.
Known for his inter-disciplinary work, Mr. Ng's most recent creation was entitled "Midwinter Dreams" in which he served as both director and conductor. The production utilized the complete Incidental Music to a Midsummer Night's Dream by Mendelssohn in a reshuffled order, intermixed with a new commission by Robert Honstein. The music created an emotional contour onto which award winning choreographers Terese Freedman and Dahlia Nayar in combination with performance art and paper sculptures by Rie Hachiyanagi, explored the dreams of the college community.
Mr Ng holds a Master of Music degree in Choral Conducting from the Yale School of Music and the Yale Institute of Sacred Music, with Marguerite Brooks, Simon Carrington Jeffrey Douma and Masaaki Suzuki. He received the Bachelor of Music from the University of Birmingham, UK where he studied composition with Vic Hoyland and orchestral conducting with Andrew Constantine.
At Yale, he was the principal assistant conductor of the Yale Camerata, and the Saybrook College Orchestra, and was manager of the Yale Schola Cantorum, where he assisted Steven Fox, Andrew Megill and Dennis Shrock. At Birmingham, he was the conductor of the Chamber Choir, the Chamber Orchestra, Sinfonia, Recital Chorus and Summer Festival New Music Ensemble and Opera. He has participated in conducting master classes with Simon Halsey, Paul Hillier, Peter Jaffe, Nicholas McGegan, Maurice Peress, Donald Portnoy, Helmuth Rilling, Dale Warland, and Paul Vermel among others.
His outstanding work at Yale won him the Edwin Stanley Seder Scholarship in 2009 and the Hugh Porter Scholarship in 2010. He was awarded the Silver Award at the National Arts Education Awards in 2006 for his work in crafting an integrated arts programme, which embraced Music, Dance, Theatre and the Visual Arts at Ang Mo Kio Secondary School in Singapore. Prior to his appointment at Mount Holyoke College, Mr Ng was the Interim Director of Choral and Vocal Studies at Haverford College and Bryn Mawr College, where he conducted the Chamber Singers and Chorale, and taught courses in conducting and Art Song. In addition, He has taught at the National Institute of Education of Singapore.
Mr. Ng is known for his versatility as a composer and has written music for animation, dance, film, and theatre, and for the classical mediums of choir and orchestra. His works have been heard in diverse settings such as the Sundance Film Festival, Animation World Magazine and Apsara Asia Dance. As a baritone, he has performed to critical acclaim as a soloist with the Singapore Symphony Orchestra and the Philharmonic Chamber Choir of Singapore.
In 2013, Mr. Ng looks forward to a season of music including classics from the standard repertoire like Rachmaninoff's 2nd Piano Concerto, Wagner's Prelude and Liebestod from Tristan und Isolde and new music including the premiere of a new opera by Mary D. Watkins titled "Dark River", a new performance edition of "A Folk Symphony" by Fela Sowande, the father of Nigerian Western Classical Music, paired with a new commission from David Sanford exploring the ideas of Music and Ethnic diasporas.

State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson has picked a graduate of Inglewood High School to act as a one-man school board and superintendent in hopes he will guide the beleaguered Inglewood Unified School District out of bankruptcy.
Inglewood's new leader, Kent Taylor -- immediate past superintendent of the Southern Kern Unified School District -- was introduced to the public Wednesday morning at a news conference in district headquarters
Speaking to the packed boardroom, Taylor -- a spare-framed former track athlete -- said he grew up just four blocks from district headquarters on Inglewood Avenue. He credited several teachers by name who helped put him on a path to success, and pledged to focus foremost on student achievement.
"I was one of those students who was kind of rambunctious. I had some gaps in my learning and so forth," he said. "I had a sixth-grade teacher who said, 'I'm going to work with you. ... You're going to be somebody.' That is the power of teachers."
Taylor's appointment marks just the ninth time in the history of California that a public school district has been taken over by the state. This means the district will receive a $55 million state loan to shore up its finances. The emergency loan - which the school board officially requested -- must be repaid within 20 years. As part of the deal, the superintendent -- Gary McHenry -- has lost his job and the elected school board has lost its legislative powers, in essence becoming an advisory body.
The question now is whether Inglewood Unified is a harbinger of things to come or an aberration. Experts don't necessarily agree.
Alex Cherniss, chief business officer with the Los Angeles County Office of Education, says he believes as many as 10 school districts in Los Angeles County are teetering on the brink, and that a failure of California voters to approve at least one of two tax-hike initiatives for schools on the November ballot could be enough to push some of them over.
"We have several districts in L.A. County that are unfortunately going down a similar path," he said.
But Molly McGee Hewitt, executive director of the California Association of School Business Officials, says she suspects Inglewood is more of an outlier.
"Public schools in California have lost $20 billion in the last five years," she said. "That means school districts all around the state have been tremendously impacted by these cuts. I think it's a real testament to the overwhelming majority of school districts - to administrators and business officials - to have kept them as solvent as they are."
Many of Inglewood Unified's troubles stem from an exodus of students - with many opting to attend nearby charter schools -- causing enrollment to plummet in 10 years from 18,000 to 12,000. The state allocates money to local school districts based on enrollment, so fewer students means less money.
The budget in Inglewood shrank in tandem, from $85 million to $60 million. Exacerbating the malaise was an accounting gimmick used by the state in which it pays a portion of school districts' allocations in the form of IOUs.
Losing so much money so quickly stoked a spiraling crisis that -- toward the end -- left the district in a state bordering on chaos.
Meetings were canceled or rescheduled at the last minute. Class sizes soared. Test scores dropped. Budget cuts left the schools with fewer custodians - in some cases, students took brooms to their classrooms on janitorial off days.
A few weeks ago, the board slashed the salaries of teachers and classified employees by 15percent, without negotiating. The two unions are contesting the decision.
In Inglewood on Wednesday, some officials were eager to accentuate the positive, noting, for instance, that eight of the district's 23 schools score 800 or higher on the Academic Performance Index (API), a barometer for school success based on student test scores. The state-set goal is for schools to score at least an 800 on the measure, which ranges from 200 to 1,000.
They also took time to tout a bond initiative for $90 million that Inglewood's taxpayers will decide at the polls next month. The money would be used to upgrade facilities.
Some officials were quick to shield the ousted superintendent and defanged school board from blame.
"I can't say enough about the school board and the superintendent, who did a yeoman's job running this district," said state Sen. Rod Wright, D-Inglewood, the author of legislation authorizing the emergency state loan. "We have some financial challenges in California that are not unique to the Inglewood Unified School District."
Others weren't so inclined to give the leadership a pass.
"When it comes to this particular school board, they have mismanaged the school district," said Inglewood City Councilman Mike Stevens, a product of Inglewood public schools. "They have run this school district into the ground."
As an example, Stevens cited cost overruns associated with the new La Tijera Middle School from a bond measure approved by voters in 2008.
School board member Arnold Butler said he wouldn't have done anything differently.
"I stand by my decisions," he said, adding that the state owes the district $31 million in IOUs, which in the education world are referred to as deferments.
Torlakson estimated that it will take at least two years for Inglewood to regain local control. Of the nine school districts to be taken over by the state since 1990 -- the year such a move became possible - five have reclaimed their autonomy. But one of them, Vallejo City Unified, continues to struggle. The district has been in some form of state receivership since 2004, yet it is among 12 school districts on the state watch list for insolvency.
Taylor, 48, said he plans to look forward, with an emphasis on student achievement, rather than dwell on who's to blame.
"Certainly if there are things that were inappropriate, those would come to light," he said. But "as much as we would like, we can't do anything about the past."
He added that he is not aware of any financial malfeasance.
Taylor has two decades of experience in education. He has worked as a teacher, assistant principal, principal and other administrative assignments in San Bernardino, Yucaipa, San Jacinto and Rialto before becoming a superintendent in 2011.

After making protest against Sarah Palin's new TV special since it uses his old interview to promote it, LL Cool J has now had his appearance in the ad cut.
Fox TV executives have cut LL Cool J's appearance in a new ad for former Alaska Governor and U.S. vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin's new TV special after complaints from the rapper. The hitmaker was upset when he heard an old interview with him was being used to promote Palin's "Real American Stories".
Palin has signed up as a correspondent for U.S. network Fox, and she'll also front her own show, which tells the life story of well-known Americans like LL Cool J and country singer Toby Keith. Promos for the show previewed clips of an interview the rapper purportedly gave to Palin, in which he describes how his family "is very pro-American".
But the star insists the interview is two years old and did not involve Palin - and he has accused the former politician and Fox bosses of "misrepresenting to the public". On his Twitter page, he writes, "Fox lifted an old interview I gave in 2008 to someone else & are misrepresenting to the public in order to promote Sarah Palin's Show."
Following his objections, network bosses have removed the footage featuring the rap star and actor, real name James Todd Smith, from the ad. A network statement reads, " 'Real American Stories' features uplifting tales about overcoming adversity and we believe Mr. Smith's interview fits that criteria."
"However, as it appears that Mr. Smith does not want to be associated with a program that could serve as an inspiration to others, we are cutting his interview from the special and wish him the best with his fledgling acting career." The series debuts on U.S. TV on Thursday, April 1.

(December 1997)
A client of mine has un petite problem with Checkpoint FW-1, version 3.0a over 2.5 Solaris. FW-1 | Cisco 1601 | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | LAN 1 LAN 2 (Illegal address scheme) (Legal address scheme) Using NAT SRC translations the problem is that FW-1 routes before it NAT's, and so if the requirement for LAN 2 is to go to the IP address on the Internet that corresponds with the illegal one of LAN 1 it fails. The client doesn't want any hacks of code or non-supported solutions. I feel it can be achieved with static routes pointing to the external interface but the client really wants a CISCO based solution as they aim to add lots more LAN 3's LAN 4's etc. and they have illegal addresses. Does anyone know off hand if the 1601's support NAT? Cisco's are ver. 11.2.4 This would be the better solution because the firewall rules and logs look messy after NAT. Thanks in advance ----------------------------------------------------------------- Edward Cracknell - <edward @ SecurIT . net>

Aims for global diet and exercise strategy
Page Tools
Health ministers trying to agree on a global strategy to combat diseases caused by bad diet and lack of exercise got down to the gritty details tonight, hoping to make the plan palatable to all.
The nonbinding global strategy, being considered this week by the governing body of the World Health Organisation, would offer steps that countries could take to fight obesity and other diet-related problems.
Even though it doesn't carry the force of a treaty, some countries see it as a threat to their industries. A handful of sugar-producing developing countries, saying they had only minor changes to propose, raised concerns about fundamental aspects of the strategy document's text.
Some countries questioned the scientific report underpinning the entire strategy. Some said they don't want any mention of agricultural policies, taxes, subsidies or marketing restrictions.
The Nordic countries said they did not want the strategy text reopened for discussion and pushed for swift adoption, adding that there had already been ample opportunity over the last few months for countries to propose changes.
Unable to come to an immediate consensus, the health ministers went with a Brazilian suggestion to form an informal working group charged with examining all the proposed changes to the text and trying to hash out a compromise.
If the countries can agree, they will urge the full governing body of the UN health agency later this week to adopt the strategy and it will become policy. If not, further discussion of the global plan could be deferred until next year, opening it up to more revisions.
Sugar-producing Guyana, speaking on behalf of the Caribbean countries, declared that the strategy document must delete any reference to the scientific report underpinning it. That report recommends that sugar intake be limited to no more than 10 per cent of daily calories.
It also called for the scrapping of the entire section addressing the role that taxes, subsidies and agricultural policies could play.
"While we endorse most aspects, we believe that amendments, as outlined, could permit us to have consensus endorsement of this strategy now. If not, we believe that the call by some countries for more time might be prudent," the delegation said.
"We must not allow the strategy to be held hostage by dissension. It is better to remove aspects ... that have caused anxiety for several countries so that all of us can unreservedly endorse the global strategy," the Guyanans said.
Mauritius, another sugar-producing country, objected to the reference to limits on sugar intake.
A statement by Mauritius that it wanted to set the record straight that it is "fully supportive" of the strategy drew laughter when it was followed immediately by the admission that the country has "certain reservations."
The island nation, another sugar-producing country, joined the Caribbean bloc in seeking to throw out the scientific report on which the strategy is based, and objected to the recommendation to limit sugar intake.
"It is well recognised that sugar is a cheap source of energy worldwide. Reducing or limiting its consumption will mean decreasing the calorie intake of millions of people worldwide, thereby increasing the prevalence of underweight or malnutrition," Mauritius said.
The country also objected to the mention of fiscal and agricultural policies.
"If I may say so, WHO is treading where even angels fear to tread," the Mauritian delegate said.
Derek Yach, a doctor who spearheaded the WHO's development of the global strategy, said after the meeting that it was too early to tell whether the strategy will make it, but that resolution is possible.
"There are many ways of finessing these things," he said. "I think in the end everybody wants to leave here with a strategy because some will be regarded as the spoilers, so they are going to have to find a solution."
"It's not going to be something necessarily the health people would like, because it will be a compromise of some sort, but it will be a compromise to get the strategy through," he said.

The Patriots pulled away in the second half to improve to 17-0, matching the 1972 Miami Dolphins, the only team to go unbeaten from the first game of the season through the Super Bowl. Tom Brady was almost perfect, the Patriots still are. Tow more wins and the Patriots will join the 1972 Dolphins."We're definitely going to enjoy it," defensive end Richard Seymour said. "Winning is always the most important thing at this time of the year."Brady completed 92.9 percent of his passes, breaking Phil Simms record of 88 percent (22-of-25) set in the Super Bowl after the 1986 season in which he led the New York Giants to a 39-20 win over the Denver Broncos. And Randy Moss had only one catch tonight, so Brady didn't need Moss to get them out of trouble.
He hit all other recievers, but Moss. Tom is just one of those kinds of QB's that finds a way to keep all of his receivers happy and stay fair. I was very shocked that the Jaguars Defense struggled against Bardy and the Patriots Offense, when the Jaguars have one of the best Defenses in the NFL. Maurice Jones-Drew and Fred Taylor had a fair night with both sharing the running back position. Fred is the more dominant and brick wall type of a back and Jones-Drew is the determined and tough back that just will not be brought down, unless he breaks a few yards for his team or recieves a first down. It was the Patriots however that dominated the ground in this one with
Laurence Maroney leading the charge, rushing for 122 yards, including a 1-yard touchdown. The Patriots look like they could not be stopped and with Brady,Moss,Welker and the rest the Pats, there's no question the only team that I think that can stopp the Pats are the Packers, but the Packers will have to be NFL Champs before they can get to Patriots or another team in the AFC.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 8/8/2013 (1448 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
An inaugural farmers market at Shelmerdine Garden Centre in Headingley will offer more than handmade crafts.
It'll also provide much-needed baby formula for families via Winnipeg Harvest's Hunger for Hope campaign.
One of Shelmerdine's owners Nicole Bent, is excited about the first farmers market being held on Aug. 10 and 11 in the parking lot at 7800 Roblin Blvd.
"We've sold 40 booths to local vendors. The proceeds of the table rentals will go to Hunger for Hope," she said.
As well, Winnipeg Harvest will have a booth at the market and welcomes donations.
"For every dollar that Hunger for Hope raises, everything goes toward purchasing baby formula," said Harvest spokesperson Colleen McVarish. She added that about $200,000 is usually spent annually to purchase baby formula.
Caitlin Wikdahl, who is organizing the market for Shelmerdine, said vendors will sell pottery, paintings and other handmade items.
Food vendors will also be on-site. Admission is free and the market will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Aug. 10 and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Aug. 11. Rain dates are Aug. 17 and 18.

No enumerated purpose is delineated that allows for hospitality, meals or refreshments.
Under federal regulations, federal contracts and awards are governed by the administrative rules of the recipient agency, unless specifically excluded by legislation, so federal awards (including state-pass through awards) are governed by the rules of Suffolk County.
The county allows reimbursement for meals authorized as part of approved business travel or under the aegis of collective bargaining agreements.
|2. Plan C - Memorandum of Understanding Does Not Exempt the College from County Constraints
Plan C does not authorize the purchase of refreshments, lunches and dinners.
3. State Education Law - Allowable Expenses

thank you for sharing
Brilliant for a future TV getting zapped off. :)
Good for Shield Up =)
so how do import into logic?
Nothing wrong with flac mate.
FLAC (.flac or .fla) is the Free Lossless Audio Codec, an open-source compression scheme that can cut the size of an audio file in half (on average) while not losing any quality in the process. It's basically ZIP for audio files. Using FLAC is good for Freesound because it saves on disk space and bandwidth usage, reduces download times, but doesn't degrade the quality of the sample like mp3 or another lossy codec would.
Would have been ideal.... if only it was saved as WAV
good stuff
also works in vlc http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ sorry for using to comments
Very clean. 9/10
bro paste that on wav
very nice , thank you
bro, that is so clean and beautiful. wow. nice to run into you here.
sick bro. thanks for sharing.
Ooooh! I have GOT to find a way to use this! Lovely.
Sounds excellent but I can't even see it to open it in Soundbooth - is there a version of this as a .wav?
wowww moothy foocky! xD
very VERY useful
Just what I needed, thanks!
loves it
Interesting harmonics to this one. Sounds like a major third! Love it.
Very nice sound, but I don't know what player to use to hear it once I download the file. I have a MAC by the way.
Awesome noise - pleasantly shakes my entire house with the volume up.
great work!

Its a smart business model, but I think you need to acknowledge the fact that for many authors here in themeforest, that kind business model is just not possible here, if all you are is a freelance themforest author. The main reason being, its a marketplace. We are selling a product, not a service. And just like most of your customers are really buying the service and not the GPL'ed code, most themeforest buyers are really buying the design, not the GPL'ed code.
Wrong. There is no difference between selling a theme or plugin one of Envato's marketplace and selling a theme or plugin on your own site. Just because it's a marketplace doesn't mean the same business model can't be used.
Claiming selling GPL code is selling a service and not a product simply isn't true.
Gravity Forms is a product. We are selling a product. That the product is GPL doesn't take away from the fact that it is a product and we are selling it as a download and unless you purchase it from us you can't get it from us. We aren't a service company. We don't do custom work or consulting. We strictly provide support for our product.
We sell a product. WooThemes sells products. StudioPress sells products.
There's nothing stopping marketplace authors from adopting a similar model. There are already marketplace authors doing so. WooThemes and Obox are perfect examples. Both utilize the GPL for their products and both have made them available on Themeforest. It's had no impact on their business model at all.
If we wanted to make Gravity Forms available on CodeCanyon we could and it wouldn't have any kind of impact on our business model or how we go about running our company.
For GravityForms you tell users they can use the Personal license on 1 site, the Business license on 3 sites, and the Developer License on unlimited sites.
But if GravityForms is GPL users can use the personal license on as many domains as they want.I'm interested to know your thoughts on this, since you are behind one of the most commercially successful (and GPL) plugins.
This is a common question that I get from users who don't know all the ins and outs of the GPL and i'll gladly answer it below.
Gravity Forms is GPL compliant and we do indeed sell it as a Personal License (1 Site), Business License (3 Sites) and Developer License (Unlimited).
What the features of each pricing level provide is support, support resources, priority support in the case of the Developer License, automatic updates, download access, Add-On access or lack of Add-On access and then we also have a SaaS (Software As A Service) API that Gravity Forms interacts with. Without a valid license key you would not receive any of this. All of these things are based on the pricing level you choose.
Take support for instance. Just because the code may be GPL does not mean we required to provide you with support. Nor are we required to make the code freely available to download ourselves.
However, purchase the Personal License and we'll provide you with support and all of the benefits it includes. Purchase the Business License and we'll extend all of these benefits to 3 sites. Purchase the Developer License and we'll extend all of these benefits to however many sites you manage as well as support of the product on a multi-site WordPress setup.
Things such as automatic updates, the Add-On manager and some other behind the scenes goodness both in the present and in the future function via a SaaS API. It communicates back to our server and the SaaS service only functions if it's passed a valid license key.
As with support, downloads, resources, automatic updates and any functionality delivered via SaaS is completely outside the scope of the GPL and can be proprietary.
Other good examples of SaaS plugins that are GPL but require a paid accounts to function include Automattic's own VaultPress and Akismet. Sure the plugin code is GPL but they won't function without a paid account at the service because some functionality occurs via a SaaS API and not on your server.
As much as it may sound like a GPL plugin or theme can't be effectively monetized at first glance, nothing is further from the truth.
I hope that helps clarify how pricing levels come into play with a GPL commercial plugin or theme.
No matter how you put it, the exclusive agreement has just one purpose: to ensure that items sold on envato marketplaces cannot be purchased elsewhere.
...The fact that the author is not the one using different distribution channels is completely irrelevant.
Wrong. The fact that the author is not the one distributing the code is completely relevant. The official distribution channel for a product is most definitely 100% relevant regardless of the licensing type. It is the distribution channel that the vast majority of end users will use to purchase the code. If you think otherwise you are giving the pirate sites far more credit than they deserve.
The exclusivity is between the author and Envato. The fact that the code in question is GPL is irrelevant. If you are concerned about end user distribution of your code then you are fretting over something that ultimately will not have a negative impact on your business. It's a drop in the bucket.
Reputable sites and popular community resource sites aren't keen on distributing commercial themes and plugins because undercutting the author is frowned upon by the overall community.
And as far as the "pirate" sites go… well… they are already distributing your themes and plugins and no restrictive license is going to stop them so as a business you'd be better served by ignoring them rather than expending any energy worrying about them. Users who use them are asking for their sites to be infected with Malware.
You must live in some utopia if you don't realize that there will be people exploiting this to the max, no matter what WordPress community will think about it. The various theme-shops can be GPL because they have closed ecosystem with their themes, support, subscription payments etc. It's all different here simply because ThemeForest is marketplace, but I'm still pretty sure that number of authors who will go to GPL will be so small that rather insignificant.
Utopia? Maybe you should educate yourself on the greater WordPress commercial ecosystem. ThemeForest is but one piece of a much larger puzzle. The fact that it is a marketplace doesn't afford it any special circumstances when it comes to the GPL and it's perceived negative impact.
If the GPL was a hinderance to commercial theme and plugin developer there wouldn't be so many highly successful and profitable thema and plugin companies in existence. But that simply isn't the case.
Gravity Forms. WooThemes. iThemes. StudioPress. Easy Digital Downloads. Press75. Organic Themes. Theme Foundry. PageLines. AppThemes. WPZoom. Themify. Colorlabs. ThemeShift. Crowd Favorite. Headway. Obox. Standard.
ALL GPL compliant. Need I go on?
But what do I know. I only run a multi-million dollar commercial plugin business. I couldn't possibly know what i'm talking about.
I'll tell you a little secret. The average WordPress theme or plugin consumer doesn't know what the GPL is and doesn't care what the GPL is. It won't have a negative impact. They are more than willing to pay for a good product and are honest people. If you spend your time worrying about piracy and dishonest people you aren't focusing on the users that actually want to give you their money.
And what about all those piracy marketplaces? Are they also reputable enough?
As far as i understand, you are allowing them to redistribute for any given price, including zero. So at the end the only advantage a purchase gives here is support (the infamous thing that has been never mandatory). Voilá, the future of Themeforest.
No, they are not reputable and you underestimate the impact pirates sites will have on your sales if you think they will post a problem.
Downloading themes and plugins from pirate sites and marketplaces is like playing russian roulette. You'll most likely get burned. They are rife with malware. If you want your WordPress site to be compromised and used by blackhat SEO's then by all means… download themes and plugins from these types of sites.
The average WordPress user has no problem paying for themes and plugins. The type of user that is going to turn to the pirate sites are the type of user that weren't going to buy your theme or plugin to begin with. They are also the type of user that is oblivious to the fact that those sites are a major source of WordPress malware, otherwise they'd steer well clear of them.
If the GPL was a hinderance to commercial theme and plugin developer there wouldn't be so many highly successful and profitable thema and plugin companies in existence. But that simply isn't the case. Gravity Forms. WooThemes. iThemes. StudioPress. Easy Digital Downloads. Press75. Organic Themes. Theme Foundry. PageLines. AppThemes. WPZoom. Themify. Colorlabs. ThemeShift. Crowd Favorite. Headway. Obox. Standard. Need I go on?
There are a large number of high successful WordPress theme and plugin products that are GPL and haven't been hindered by it in the slightest and they were GPL long before ThemeForest made the GPL an option for it's authors and in many cases they were selling themes and plugins longer than Envato has been.
The myth that the GPL will be detrimental to a commercial theme or plugin is just that. A myth.

How can GPL themes still be considered TF exclusive when the license grants redistribution rights to the end user ? How pointless is to limit the author when everybody else is not ? The issue here are Envato exclusivity terms for authors selling GPL items, not the GPL itself.
I would suggest you read the rest of my replies in this thread for more insight.
The GPL only applies to the end user. It doesn't apply to the author. The exclusivity you enter into with Envato only applies to how you choose to sell the product. It has nothing to do with the GPL license the code is released using.
As for it being pointless, i've already mentioned that reselling another WordPress developers commercial theme and plugin is not considered kosher by the community. It's not something condoned by the major marketplaces and it's not something condoned by the WordPress.org plugin and theme repositories. Now if the end user drastically changes the theme or plugin and creates something new out of it, that is another story.
It's most definitely not pointless.
Case in point. Gravity Forms is currently sold exclusively through the Gravity Forms web site and it is not available on CodeCanyon. If Gravity Forms were to be made available in CodeCanyon it wouldn't do so under an exclusive deal because it's sales channel is already well established. However, if it were not well established it very well could be sold exclusively via CodeCanyon.
You need to separate the agreement you sign with Envato and the agreement your code is released under when choosing to release the code as GPL. They are two very different things.
I'll use a made up example to illustrate this situation…
- I design and sell T-Shirts - I sign an exclusive deal with Threadless to sell my T-Shirt design on their site - A user buys my t-shirt design - The user sells it on eBay - I cannot personally sell it on eBay because of my exclusive deal with Threadless but there is nothing stopping someone else from doing so because they are free to do so if they choose.
This example is not unusual.
The situation with the GPL as it relates to Envato exclusivity is the same type of situation.
Although unlike t-shirts, the WordPress community doesn't look too kindly on users undercutting the developer of commercial themes and plugins by giving them away or reselling them. It's not against the GPL but it simply isn't considered kosher by the community unless the user has made significant changes to the theme or plugin to create something new out of it. So it actually has more protections from this scenario than say a t-shirt designer would.

Carlhancock, I perfectly understand what you are saying and I do agree with you, yes there's an agreement period. But what I mean is, this is wrong from the start, it generates absurd conclusions. Can anyone sell the GPL theme everywhere, except the author?
Yes. Unless they enter into a personal contract with Envato or some other marketplace promising exclusivity of course.
But despite the fear of end users undercutting the author and reselling the GPL code elsewhere, it's unlikely to post a major issue. The community polices itself.
As I mentioned Envato is not going to allow an end user to resell a theme they purchased from you on their marketplace, nor is any other reputable WordPress related marketplace. WordPress.org's plugin repository would also reject the submission of a commercial theme that is being submitted for free to undercut the author.
Sure it's not against the licensing but it's against community decency. The GPL doesn't give you the right to sell code on Envato or make it available via the WordPress.org plugin or theme repositories. That's unrelated to the GPL.
So yes, a user could attempt to sell your GPL theme elsewhere even if you can't. But any reputable marketplace wouldn't allow it if it was brought to their attention because it's just not kosher.
vazz said
Yes, your explanation is very logic to me. BUt there is still a conflict imo. There are 2 identities here: one is the author , one is the buyer. One can be both at the same time. Why would Envato's agreement override the GPL agreement. Because one excludes the other. If anyone forces me to break the GPL then it's not GPL anymore.
It may appear that way. But it's not the license attached to the code that prevents you from selling that code elsewhere. It's the personal contract you enter with Envato that does so and thus it does not hinder the GPL.
It doesn't matter if you are an author and a buyer. You own the legal rights to the code. Buyers do not. They are afforded the benefits of the GPL. But that doesn't make them the owner of the code from a legal, copyright and trademark perspective.
So because you are the author, if you for some reason bought your own code from an Envato marketplace… it doesn't change the fact that you are the legal rights owner to that code and it doesn't change the fact that you've entered into a personal contract with Envato for sales exclusivity.
vazz said
The GPL is all about the end user.Do I become an end user if I buy my own theme?
Yes. But the limitation that you can't resell the code elsewhere isn't being applied to you by the theme. It's being applied to you by a business agreement you make with Envato. The code is just the product you are selling. The exclusivity you agree to is between you and Envato.
PixelBuffet said
I believe most authors here understand that there is no direct conflict between our exclusivity and being full GPL. However by selling here, we are agreeing to be limited in our distribution rights for our work yet are being allowed to give our buyers much greater distribution rights than we're afforded ourselves by Envato. We become the only person restricted, yet it's our work. It's a puzzling situation to be in and one that I don't think anyone has faced yet in the WP community, we are perfectly entitled to discuss it – even if some are misinformed.
You are correct. If you choose to be exclusive you are agreeing to limiting where you distribute that piece of code. That's the price you pay for receiving more attractive sales terms with Envato as an author. But it in no way hinders the GPL as it applies to end users.
The GPL is all about the end user. The author has more flexibility and that includes imposing limitations on himself and how he chooses to make his code available. He could choose not to distribute the code if he wanted to. Or he can choose to charge for his code. Or he can choose to only sell it on ThemeForest.
But the users that purchase it are protected by the GPL.

Q: Any tips for making sure my cats have a safe Thanksgiving holiday with a house full of guests?
A: Thanksgiving is a wonderful holiday but I know from experience it is also an opportunity for cats to get into mischief, so we need to be prepared. I remember one Thanksgiving it was my turn to cook dinner and I had a 15-pound turkey in the sink, all ready to be dressed and put into the oven. I left the kitchen for just a minute to check on something in another room, but when I returned, there was my cat Farfel with his back legs perched on the counter and front legs in the sink! Worse, his teeth were sunk into my bird, and even though it weighed more than he did, he was trying to drag it out of the sink. When I yelled at him to stop, he looked up at me as if to say, "I saw it first!" Anyway, off he went without too much damage to the turkey (and I carefully cut off the small piece with his tiny tooth marks).
Anytime you have a lot of activity in the kitchen, with many dishes to serve and a house full of people to entertain, I suggest you be aware of where your cats are. After Farfel, I learned it is best to keep them clear of the kitchen area and not just because they might make off with the turkey. Cats like to jump up on stoves and even with the flame or gas off, recently used burners can burn their pads. Also, food in hot dishes waiting to be brought to the table could accidentally be tipped over by your cat, possibly burning them.
Thanksgiving is a festive time, but once the meal is over, turkey bones are a potential hazard for cats. Please do not leave bones and leftovers unattended where your kitty could ingest them. To be absolutely sure, I put bones and refuse in garbage bags and take them outside. Also, it is also best to ask small children not to feed your cats "people" food. Have a box of kitty treats ready instead – both your kitties and the kids will enjoy it much more. Wishing you, and your kitties, a healthy and happy Thanksgiving!

Hello...Would like to start a discussion on finding better visual metaphors for icons. Icons are visual representations of tasks, items, and actions on the desktop. Within the square proportioned box of usually 16x16 to 48x48 pixels, an image resides to aide users in their interaction with the computer. Most of the time, the icons are pretty straight forward...printer, for printer/printing/to print. However, there are some that are less clear. - I'd like to start off by discussing the "system-log-out" icon. The image of an arrow pointing to an open door is visually displeasing...I believe we can do better. Visually, the current representation does not fit in...while most images are objects/symbols, the log-out icon is a doorway leading to a black space. Hope that made sense.
- [folder-remote]Mola created one this weekend [1] and David Nielsen had a couple of suggestions of improvements [2]. It is a rather tough idea to visualize. I'd like to come up with an idea to universally signify remote. I'm not convinced about the "pipes" that Tango uses.
- [preferences-desktop-theme]Do we like the "tie and shirt" icon? I don't feel strongly either way, but thought there might be some better representation. Bluecurve uses a block with different colors and I also see another icon with a file and a little hat overlaid on it.
Feel free to add others to this list...these are just the three I have been looking at recently.
