Valid Flash, video, and audio embed (object) markup
By Ben Henick | August 15th, 2006 | Filed in Design, HTML/XHTML, ValidationSkip to comment form
The following three links need to be in one place, once and for all:
- Valid Flash
<object>markup: "Flash Satay" by Drew McLellan
- Valid video
<object>markup: "Bye Bye Embed" by Elizabeth Castro
- Valid audio
<object>markup (with Quicktime): "Object Embedding" by Simon Jessey, et. al.
Here's the backstory:
Eighteen months ago, I was approached by a longtime friend who works in wedding photography and wanted a proof of concept for serving video (so that he could develop and sell that service, of course). In his previous life this client was a project manager for a Very Large Consultancy and swore by Microsoft platforms, which meant IE-only development over my objections.
This same IE-only development continues as needed, to this day — the video side of my client's operations has become immensely successful.
Imperative platform limitations notwithstanding, I discovered that producing valid and effective plugin markup is a nightmare. I've spent untold hours trying first to learn how on my own, then giving up in frustration and instead searching for tested examples. The list above is my latest leap toward a complete list of such examples.
Joe Clark points out that he's been on top of this issue for a couple of years now.
As for SWFObject, it serves a purpose that I might have someday in the face of a tight deadline, relaxed project requirements, or a requirement for the most recent version of Flash. However, I've been through every line of SWFObject's code and can state with confidence that while it obeys the letter of the W3C Recommendations, it totally disregards their spirit.

Movie director Jay Craven, tired but exuberant, is delivering thank-yous from a podium before this, the fourth of five "premiere" showings across Vermont of his new film, "Northern Borders."
"And here is my partner in crime!" says Craven, gesturing toward novelist Howard Frank Mosher, who just entered the filled theater of Burlington's Main Street Landing, where earlier he had been in the lobby selling copies of "Northern Borders" and his other titles.
Partners in crime?
Why not?
They are partners in the sense that in the past 26 years five of Mosher's stories have gone from page to screen under Craven's direction.
And crime?
Among Mosher's characters are assorted rumrunners, deer poachers, moonshiners, gamblers, public drunkards and brawlers.
They are a colorful lot, some noble and endearing, some downright nutty, most drawn from real people whom Mosher met or heard about over the years.
"I guess Jay and I are kind of like my old outlaws," says Mosher with a laugh during a later visit, last week, at his home in Irasburg, where he writes his stories at the kitchen table in longhand on a yellow legal pad.
Embellished or not, Mosher's characters for three decades have both reflected and molded Vermonters' notions of the Northeast Kingdom.
A legend has it that the region, comprising Essex, Orleans and Caledonia counties, got the Northeast Kingdom designation 64 years ago from U.S. Sen. George Aiken in a speech he delivered in Lyndonville. Aiken had a special appreciation for the area's rugged beauty and remoteness, and he recognized the resiliency of its residents.
So too, Mosher and Craven.
Mosher's characters live in the early to mid-20th century, during Prohibition, the Great Depression, and into the '50s, surviving chronic hard times on wits and hard work but sometimes stooping to break the law to find cash to pay the mortgage or buy hay for the cows.
"I think both Jay and I admire the independent spirit of the Northeast Kingdom," says Mosher.
"Howard's characters are often larger than life, highly connected to place, sometimes self-destructive, sometimes heroic," says Craven. "His work always suggests a strong visual palette."
To paint a scene or find a theme, Mosher never had to look far beyond his front yard. His novel, "A Stranger in the Kingdom," published in 1989, is a tale based on an actual incident of racist violence that occurred in Irasburg and shocked the state in 1968. An African-American minister had moved to town from California looking for church work, and his home was shot up one night by a band of bigots. State police were called to protect the minister but wound up arresting him for adultery.
Mosher wove his own story from the incident, developing a plot involving a murder of a young white woman, followed by a trial with strong divisive racial overtones.
"A Stranger in the Kingdom" became a Craven film a decade after the title reached bookstores.
Though the Kingdom was never known for employment opportunity, Mosher and his wife-to-be, Phillis, arrived in the area in 1964 to answer an ad for schoolteachers.
They had quite the welcoming committee.
"We drove up to two drunks in the middle of Orleans, who were having a fistfight near the railroad tracks, and we asked for directions to the high school, and they just piled into the backseat," recounts Mosher. "They gave us a long tour of town until we finally reached the school."
The couple thanked their guides, dropped them off, and then checked the rearview mirror to note that the men had resumed throwing their wild and ineffective punches.
"I knew this would be a goldmine, a place to write about," says Mosher.
The couple were hired as teachers, but Howard soon wound up becoming a student himself, working for a logger by the name of Jake Blodgett, an inveterate and talented storyteller. Blodgett taught Mosher a thing or two about cutting trees, skidding and using horses in the woods – good material for his fiction.
"Jake was a tough guy, but he had heart too," says Mosher. Blodgett proved an inspiration for two of Mosher's best-known characters: Grandfather Austen Kittredge in "Northern Borders" and Noel Lord in "Where the Rivers Flow North."
Craven's arrival Vermont was less dramatic.
After his undergraduate years at Boston University and filmmaking experiences in New York City, he arrived in the state in 1974 as part of the wave of anti-war, counter-culture young people.
He resided in Caledonia County, where he taught school and launched Catamount Arts in St. Johnsbury, which started as a sponsor of a five-town film series and morphed into the full-fledged producer of musical, theatrical and visual arts programs that it is today.
Through Kingdom County Productions, the company he later started with his wife, Bess O'Brien, also a filmmaker, Craven over the years has produced nine films including documentaries.
His other movies from Mosher stories are "High Water," "Where the Rivers Flow North" and "Disappearances."
In all his films Craven has shown a knack for finding accomplished actors, among them: Michael J. Fox, Rip Torn, Kris Kristofferson, Tantoo Cardinal, Genevieve Bujold, Treat Williams, Martin Sheen, Ernie Hudson and Bruce Dern. Actor Rusty DeWees of Stowe seems to pop up in most Craven movies.
At the Burlington premiere, the director called the making of "Northern Borders" a big step in his effort to create "sustainability" in regional film production. What he did was bring together elements of Kingdom County Productions and the nearly three dozen students involved in the special filmmaking program he conceived and directs at Marlboro College.
It's a new educational model, or experiment, one that invited students from colleges around the Northeast for a stay at Marlboro to work on producing "Northern Borders," to learn hands-on by working as assistant directors, costume designers, script supervisors, camera operators and location managers.
The filming of "Northern Borders" occurred over 26 days in and around Marlboro.
As partners, Craven — who buys rights to any book — and Mosher have over the years gone on the road dozens of times throughout the Northeast to promote their works.
They occasionally have dinner together, says Mosher; and, he admits with another laugh, they sometimes whine in phone conversations about the challenges of making money in their chosen fields.
Mosher praises Craven's screenwriting skills but admits to having winced at least once – when a scene he worked hard to create failed to make the cut in Craven's film.
It was the opening of "A Stranger in the Kingdom," a scene in which the young protagonist is playing catch with his brother, while they and their father listen to a Red Sox game on a car radio on a mountaintop overlooking their town.
"You have 350 to 400 pages in the book, but I have just 90 minutes to tell the story," Craven reportedly said. "I need a scene to (quickly) get the story off the ground."
Lesson learned.
And so it has gone with "Northern Borders," where a viewer-reader will note a missing fair and canoeing scene, and will see a snake sub for an owl as the marauder in the chicken coop.
Some elements dropped, some added.
But Mosher's poignancy, humor, and the sense of time and place remain in this tale of family struggle and feuding in the wild Northeast Kingdom.

JLS star JB Gill presented the awards to youngsters at the annual Active Gamerz championships.
Cedar Park Primary School secured its sixth title after seeing off 23 other schools, including a team from Juniper Hill Primary in the final held at Sir William Ramsay School.
The event - which sees youngsters compete against each other in active video games - featured performances from Britain's Got Talent semi-finalists Lauren and Terrell, and The Voice finalist Max Milner.
Active Gamerz' Richard Tweed said: "Not only did we have great live performances the athletes played their part by giving high energy performances which was infectious to the watching audience.
"The determination and passion of the athletes is testament to the mindset of the club and how with the right intent any concept can be used to create responsible, hard working individuals.
"What made the evening even more special was that JLS Star JB Gill attended to hand out the awards to the winning schools.
"The memory of him sitting in the front row to watch the final will live with me for the rest of my life."

Not so long ago, "globalisation" was a favourite paradigm in international business. It was a trend that began in the late 1970s and accelerated in the 1980s, when corporate takeovers were the order of the day and multinational companies fixated on maximising short-term profits and boosting share prices. One approach was "global sourcing", also called outsourcing or offshoring.
This year the Forum will focus on creativity, jobs and local development. We will examine how localities can support culture and creative industries as a source of knowledge and job creation and how the creative industry can act as a powerful driving force areas such as tourism, urban regeneration, and social inclusion.
Counterfeit and pirated products come from many economies, with China appearing as the single largest producing market. These illegal products are frequently found in a range of industries, from luxury items (e.g. fashion apparel or deluxe watches), via intermediary products (such as machines, spare parts or chemicals) to consumer goods that have an impact on personal health and safety (such as pharmaceuticals, food and drink, medical equipment, or toys). This report assess the quantitative value, scope and trends of this illegal trade.
A High-Level Meeting on excess capacity and structural adjustment in the steel sector was convened on 18 April 2016, at the Palais d'Egmont in Brussels, co-organised by the OECD and the Belgian government.
In view of the significant and growing excess capacity that exists in the global steel industry, a High-Level meeting on excess capacity and structural adjustment in the steel sector was organised by the OECD and the Belgian authorities on 18 April 2016 at the Palais d'Egmont in Brussels.
This report assesses the magnitude, flows and drivers of illicit trade and the illegal economy including: narcotics, human trafficking, wildlife, sports betting, counterfeit medicines, alcohol and tobacco. The negative socio-economic impacts that these markets have in consumer countries are as worrisome as the goverance gaps that are exploited in source countries. This report examines each illicit sector in terms of the geographic sources, destinations and key trade routes, the current trend of infiltration by organized crime networks, and good practices or future policy solutions with which to combat illicit trade within the various sectors.
Financing for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) has turned the corner from the downswing seen during the global financial crisis, but overall credit conditions remain challenging and access to external finance continues to be much tighter for SMEs than larger firms, according to a new OECD report.
SMEs typically account for more than half of business sector activity and around two-thirds of employment. Young SMEs, in particular, contribute disproportionately to creating jobs. Yet business dynamics have been slowing in most of our economies, limiting SMEs' contributions to investment, growth, jobs and social inclusion, at a moment when they are sorely needed.
This report presents an overview of existing environmental credit lines in the EU's Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine), which are mostly supported by International Finance Institutions and donors and disbursed by local commercial banks. Lessons learned from this type of credit-line implementation provide useful insights for spurring the banking sector into financing green investments.
This policy paper provides new cross-country evidence on the links between national policies and the growth patterns of start-ups. In particular, it compares for the first time the heterogeneous effects of national policies on entrants and incumbents, within the same country, industry, and time period. A number of key facts emerge.

Deleting atheist group pages?
You've marked a bunch of atheist group pages for deletion, without specifying a reason. At first, I thought maybe they had died away and the links were dead, but I looked at a few, and they were live. So what's up with all the deletions? At the very least, you may want to specify a reason, e.g.: {{delete|This group no longer exists.}} --Arensb 19:31, 8 December 2011 (CST)

Anyone who watched heavyweight prospect Deontay Wilder's stoppage of Sergei Liakhovich last week saw the former titlist get drilled. Knocked out. Smashed. Obliterated.
The first-round knockout Liakhovich suffered as a result of two brutal right hands from Wilder was so destructive that they left Liakhovich literally convulsing on the mat, his arms and legs flopping around uncontrollably.
It was not all that unexpected of a result, given that Liakhovich is far past his best days, which were in 2006, when he briefly held a piece of the title. My prediction was that Wilder would knock him out in the second round. OK, so I was off by a round.
Wilder blitzed him with absolute ease and undoubtedly will move on to a bigger and, hopefully, more competitive fight while it seemed obvious to almost everyone else that Liakhovich, a brave fighter for so many years, was done. With his third decisive knockout loss in a row, he would be best served by retirement.
But Liakhovich is like many fighters who don't know when enough is enough. There is nothing to be ashamed of when a fighter gets knocked out by the bigger, better, younger, fresher foe, as Liakhovich did in 1 minute, 43 seconds. What there is to be ashamed of is what Liakhovich did on Thursday, which is to whine the sourest grapes of all by saying he would protest the knockout loss because of illegal punches.
If Wilder's punches were illegal then boxing shouldn't exist. If Wilder's punches were illegal than I guess so was the shot that Juan Manuel Marquez knocked out Manny Pacquiao with or the blow that Pacquiao knocked out Ricky Hatton with or the punch that Thomas Hearns stopped Roberto Duran with or the punch that Mike Tyson stopped Michael Spinks with or the shot that George Foreman drilled Michael Moorer with. I think you get my point.
Simply, Wilder's shots were clean, legal and ferocious.
Liakhovich, however, can't deal with the reality. Nobody should ridicule him for losing, but for his preposterous protest he deserves it after announcing Thursday that he would file a protest over the fight result with the California State Athletic Commission.
Anthony Cardinale, Liakhovich's attorney, will file the paperwork seeking the outcome of the bout be changed to a no contest. It's a waste of time, but probably will amount to some nice billable hours.
As if the notion of the protest is not hilarious enough, try to read Liakhovich's statement with a straight face.
"My goal for going public is to expose Wilder and show people what really happened because it was difficult to clearly see his illegal punches on television due to the camera placement and how quickly it happened," Liakhovich said. "I also feel that I disappointed a lot of people who believed in me and I feel it's important to explain what happened to them. Wilder's people are sending out press releases to hype him up even more, so it's very important for me to expose him for what he is and how he fights."
What Wilder is? A massive puncher, especially with his right hand. That is why he is 29-0 with 29 knockouts. How he fights? Like a bad man.
Apparently, Liakhovich thinks this is a problem.
"If he had hit me in the face, fair and square, I would have kept my mouth shut and said he was the better man," Liakhovich said.
Actually, Wilder is the better man, but Liakhovich claims that was he was hit with an illegal punch over the ear (which is not illegal) followed by a right "behind" his head.
"Everybody's going around saying nobody can stand up to his power, 29 knockouts in 29 fights, but any heavyweight would go down from a punch behind the head," Liakhovich rationalized. "That's why it's an illegal punch. There's nothing you can do when you get hit with a punch like that; your body just goes wobbly with no balance at all."
It's called getting knocked out, but Liakhovich's delusion knows no bounds. He said he had an MRI after the fight, that he's fine and plans to keep fighting.
"My career will not end on a fight like this that ended because of illegal punches," he said. "I will be back in the gym next week and plan to be fighting again in a few months."
Golden Boy chief executive Richard Schaefer, who promotes Wilder, had some other advice for Liakhovich, which is hard to disagree with, telling ESPN.com, "Now I am really worried that he might have a concussion to think that the result of this fight should get overturned.
"He is a crybaby. He should take his loss as a man and probably look for a different form of employment."

College Cup semis: Nittany Lions to meet Florida State
It was a problem that coaches rarely have to deal with -- and would never think of complaining about it.
It was the middle of September, and two forwards had just returned to the team after playing in the World Cup.
The Penn State soccer team had too many women who knew how to score, and there was only so much space on the field.
How could a team have too much scoring?
Needless to say, the Nittany Lions figured out how to make it all work, and most certainly have enjoyed the rewards of the predicament.
The Big Ten champions are back in the College Cup semifinals for the first time since 2005, facing Florida State at 8:30 p.m. today at San Diego's Torero Stadium.
"Right now we have an incredible opportunity," senior midfielder Maddy Evans said earlier this week. "While I'm very happy where we are right now, I still feel we have a lot of work to do and I'm so excited about this upcoming weekend. I'm very, very proud of where we've come, I can't put that aside, but I can't stop thinking how excited I am for this upcoming week."
Tonight's winner will meet either North Carolina or defending champion Stanford, who battle at 11 p.m., in the championship game at 4 p.m. Sunday.
The Nittany Lions (20-3-2) would not mind a rematch with the Cardinal, who won 3-2 in front of some packed Jeffrey Field bleachers in late August.
Both teams were missing key players in that game who were with the U.S. under-20 national team at the FIFA World Cup in Japan, eventually winning the gold medal. Among them were Penn State forwards Maya Hayes and Taylor Schram.
In their absence, several freshmen got more playing time than they might have otherwise, including forwards Mallory Weber and Mallory Peterson.
Once Hayes and Schram returned to the U.S., in time for the opening of the Big Ten season, the problem was getting them to blend in after the team had already developed some nice chemistry.
"Our biggest challenge was how we were going to fit all our goal-scorers on the team at the same time," said Erica Walsh, who will earn her 100th win as Penn State's head coach with a victory. "What a great challenge that is as a coach."
Walsh figured it out, with her team leading the nation in scoring at 3 goals per game entering the tournament. Hayes ad Nairn share the lead with 15 goals each and Weber has netted 13, and seven others have scored at least two goals.
But the team also has figured out how to win with drama.
They held on after an early goal for a 1-0 win against Duke last Friday in the quarterfinals, and that came on the heels of a shootout win over Michigan the game before in which they trailed 2-0 in penalty kicks before making three straight and keeper Erin McNulty made three consecutive saves. There were also several other last-minute scores to win or force a tie during the regular season.
"We know how to battle," Hayes said. "We know how to grind it out when needed. Obviously that showed tremendously when we played Duke. It might not have been the prettiest game that we wanted to play, but we got the win and we're going to San Diego and that's all that matters at this point."
Walsh, noting the win against Duke played in near-freezing temperatures and harsh winds hardly resembled "the beautiful game," expects the contest with the Seminoles, who play a very similar style to the Lions, to be much more picturesque.
It also will provide quite the test for Penn State, which led the nation in scoring this season with 73 total goals. Florida State's defense led the nation with 17 shutouts.
Still, the Nittany Lions know they can rely on that offense, made stronger with all that extra early-season playing time, and have a team that has been training since the end of last season to get to this weekend.
"It's been a dream of ours since we committed to Penn State to go to the final four and to go out on top," Nairn said. "... Our goal was to win the national championship. We talked about it since last spring, doing all the hard work in the offseason, the stuff that's not the most fun like fitness and all that stuff ... but we're excited to be where we are. To go out in the final four, hopefully not in the final four, but me and Maddy (Evans) are on Cloud Nine right now -- to go out our last season on top, a No. 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament. We're going to do whatever it takes to be the last one standing."
Notes: The game will not be shown live on TV, except online on ESPN3. It will be shown tape-delayed on ESPNU at 2 p.m. Sunday, right before the live finals. ... The North Carolina-Stanford match will be shown live on ESPNU. ... Penn State is making its fourth national semifinal appearance, and is seeking its first trip to the finals. ... The Nittany Lions were 3-0 against ACC teams this season. ... Penn State and Florida State last met on Aug. 31, 2003, a 2-1 Nittany Lion win.

. Welcome to khutbahbank.com
Latest [text] khutbahs and articles
All our text khutbahs from A -Z
Muslims gathering for Friday prayers come with all kinds of stresses and concerns on their minds. The Jum'a prayer and the khutbah that preceeds it, offer a welcome respite from the tensions of the week. It is an opportunity to turn away from the mundane, worldly matters and to reflect on our innerselves, and on the higher matters of our spiritual development.
The Khateeb or preacher has a captive audience and should try to focus on on a positive message. His khutbah should address the head as well as the heart, so that everyone leaves the Jum'a prayer, ready to face the world, emotionally and spiritually renewed.

Watch Dogs gameplay first-impressions: hands-on, eyes off
The game Watch Dogs begins with a quote: "secrets and lies floating in a cloud of data." From there you're shoved into a world where you're using the environment around you as a weapon. Earlier this month we were given the opportunity to take a 4-hour-long hands-on look at Watch Dogs for the PlayStation 4 with Ubisoft, and we've walked away suitably impressed.

Inside the Black Box: Partnerships in Rio de Janeiro, 1870-1891
We use newly-constructed individual-level data on partnership contracts in late nineteenth century Rio de Janeiro to examine differences between limited and unlimited liability firms and partners, and to assess the impact of a major institutional reform that facilitated the formation of joint stock companies on the terms of partnership contracts. Contrary to expectation, we find that most unlimited partners contributed capital and received profit shares, and most non-managing limited partners received salaries. Limited partners contributed more capital and received lower salaries and profit shares than their unlimited partners; unlimited partners in limited firms received more favorable terms than those in unlimited firms. Finally, we find suggestive evidence that the reforms reduced the extent of income smoothing for the limited partner and increased the average quality of unlimited liability partners in limited liability firms. These findings highlight the role of incentives and the desire for income smoothing in shaping contract terms.

Primarily (besides the bass clef), in Italy and Germany, only the tenor clef was used, and the alto clef in France.
In the lower the notes are arranged according to the bass clef.
Between C in the bass clef and G above the treble will represent its serviceable notes.
Its best tones are from the lower A of the bass clef to the lower F in the treble.
Others he has observed speaking effectively from B to F (bass clef), with F as the top tone.
Her glorious voice extends from D on the third line of the bass clef to C on the second leger line above the treble clef.
Hence care must be taken to write the treble clef on the second, and the bass clef on the fourth line of its stave.
He has heard preachers ascend to top tenor G and A, descending to C (above the bass clef), improbable though it sounds.
Beginning with G in the bass clef, she runs up the scale to E in the treble clef, and gives each note its full power and tone.
Notes written in the bass clef are generally, for some unexplained reason, placed an octave lower than the real sounds.

Last month, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled on forced blood draws in the context of DUI investigations. Prior to that ruling, some police jurisdictions were forcing people that were suspected of driving under the influence to give blood by literally jamming a needle under their skin when they refused to give a breath test. Law enforcement in Indian River County, on Florida's Treasure Coast has done this on several occasions.
In the McNeely case, the State of Missouri sought a bright line rule stating that in a DUI, blood may always be taken without a warrant because of the immediate threat that evidence would be destroyed as the body naturally goes through its process of eliminating alcohol from the blood stream.
In that case, McNeely was stopped by a Missouri police officer for speeding and crossing the centerline. After declining to take a breath test to measure his blood alcohol concentration (BAC), he was arrested and taken to a nearby hospital for blood testing. The officer never attempted to secure a search warrant. McNeely refused to consent to the blood test, but the officer directed a lab technician to take a sample. McNeely's BAC tested well above the legal limit, and he was charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI). He moved to suppress the blood test result, arguing that taking his blood without a warrant violated his rights under the 4th Amendment to the United States Constitution (bar against unreasonable searches and seizures).
JUSTICE SOTOMAYOR delivered the opinion of the Court with respect to these issues, concluding that in drunk-driving investigations, the natural dissipation of alcohol in the bloodstream does not constitute an exigency in every case sufficient to justify conducting a blood test without a warrant. However, Justice Sotomayor did not say that warrantless blood draws would be improper in all cases. The opinion of the Court was that there should NOT be a bright line rule in either direction, and that exigency (the exception to the warrant requirement) must be considered on a case by case basis.
Interestingly, McNeely speaks to DUI cases in general. One question that it potentially raises and must be litigated is whether Florida's long standing law of taking blood in ALL cases with an accident involving death or serious bodily injury is unconstitutional under the McNeely ruling. According to McNeely, these cases may also need to be considered on a case by case basis, without the bright line rule set forth by the Florida Legislature.
While many on the defense bar are considering the McNeely case a huge win, it may have set a precedent for some jurisdictions to seek a warrant in EVERY DUI case to take blood from a suspect. The Court correctly points out that with new technology, the delay in obtaining a warrant is much less than it ever was before. After all, an officer could conduct a roadside investigation, type or speak his report and warrant application into an ipad or other tablet, email it to a judge for review and electronic signature and potentially have a signed warrant by the time the suspect gets to the hospital for the blood removal process. With the Intoxilyzer 8000's known issues that are currently being litigated in Florida, and the back drop of a decades long fight between defense attorneys, the State of Florida and the Intoxilyzer makers for the source code to replicate the machine's process (which the makers claim is proprietary), it seems more likely than not that the breath testing machine may become a thing of the past, and the blood draw the waive of the future.

I'm taking out my box braids next week and I know that it's going to be so tangled.
Is there a way that will make it easier for me to detangle my hair? Btw I'm transitioning :)

Before you take out your braids, slather your hair in conditioner. It makes the process so much easier and faster because your hair is wet. It also helps with getting out the tangles.

ERIC WATSON predicts the Warriors will soon win a premiership and declares he can envisage the team comprising only of Kiwi players, but he stops short of claiming the Auckland-based club now has the wealthiest backers in the NRL after New Zealand businessman Owen Glenn bought a 50 per cent stake.
''Your mate Nathan has got a few dollars, they tell me,'' Watson said in reference to Newcastle owner Nathan Tinkler. ''It took me a bit longer to get mine.''
A 2011 rich list published by New Zealand's National Business Review put Glenn's worth at $NZ900 million ($700m) and Watson's assets at $NZ220m. Forbes Asia last month estimated Tinkler's wealth at $773m.
''It isn't really about that,'' Watson told the Herald. ''It is more having a fellow investor who was passionate about the sport, passionate about New Zealand and passionate about the Warriors.''
Glenn's involvement with the Warriors is seen as an opportunity to take the club to a new level on and off the field. It also marks the end of a 12-year association between the organisation and controversial businessman Mark Hotchin, who has offloaded his minority shareholding in New Zealand's only NRL franchise. In 2000, Watson and his fellow Hanover Finance founder took over the Warriors after winning a six-way bid.
Six years later, they bought out other minority partners, the New Zealand Rugby League and Wellington businessman Ramesh Dayal, to give them full control. Watson said yesterday he had not personally gained from the latest development and said the reduction in his own shareholding had been for the betterment of the club.
He said the financial details were ''confidential'' but that Glenn had provided the Warriors with a large cash injection. ''We've always been in strong financial shape and we'll be even more so with a partner like this on board,'' Watson said. ''We haven't quite fulfilled our goal of winning an NRL title for New Zealand but I'm confident we'll achieve that.''
Watson and Glenn hope the Warriors will eventually field a team of New Zealand players only and they plan to invest heavily in junior development programs, not only directly for the Warriors but throughout the country.
''There is nothing wrong with Aussie players but we are trying to develop youth in this country and provide opportunities,'' Watson said. ''Someone asked me if I was worried about developing all of these young players and having them poached by Aussie teams but I said, 'Not at all'.
''If we can provide pathways for young New Zealanders to make their way through the NRL that is good but even if they end up another team it has got to be good for the sport and good for kids in New Zealand.''
The announcement of the change to the Warriors ownership followed a meeting in Auckland on Thursday night between NRL chief executive David Gallop and the Warriors' key stakeholders.
Glenn, who will be part of an anticipated crowd of 40,000 crowd for tomorrow's grand final replay with Manly, has met coach Brian McClennan, who told him he didn't need his chequebook to win the title this year. ''I asked him yesterday before he knew I was going to get involved to name four players anywhere in the world who he would like to have in his team and his answer was, 'I've got the team to win','' Glenn said. ''Exciting things are going to happen. We have got all sorts of plans.''

I just finished watching it and I thought I'd open a quick thread to let DZ know that it's a show worth watching.
Probably none of you have seen Bartender, but I'm still gonna say that this anime is the perfect blend of Bartender and Cowboy Bebop. Smooth dark jazzy atmosphere, great characters, lovely relationships, cool visuals, catchy soundtrack and a fitting pace without fillers. It's the type of anime that has mindgames with many different little stories that all make up a big picture at the end and come together.
The only criticism I have is that the single character background episodes are not as clearly made for that special characters like in Cowboy Bebop where even the entire mood of the show just seems to shift for Ed or for Jet, but instead in Durarara!! these episodes just fade and blend into the general series without any kind of a cut. That also makes the show seem incomplete at the end, since even though the viewer has seen a lot about the background stories we just can't seem to remember as much.
However, apart from that it's really a highlight when it comes to modern anime, give it a try.

With swimming season in full swing, TODAY style editor and author Bobbie Thomas is here to share a few savvy summer solutions.
Showerless shampooing
Most of us turn to shower caps to keep our hair dry, but Sage's Shampoo Caps will wash your hair — while keeping you dry. The rinse-free caps are not only a handy alternative to shampooing in the shower, perfect for camping trips and more, but also a helpful aid to healthcare professionals. Simply warm the cap in a microwave, slip it on, and massage away to absorb dirt and oil ($3.69, sageproducts.com).
No-slip swimming
This next savvy summer find is an industry secret from the world of bodybuilding. Bikini Bite "suit fastener" is a gentle spray adhesive designed to keep swimwear, spandex shorts, miniskirts and more in place to avoid public peek-a-boos. It dries quickly, claims to work on any fabric, and rinses off with soap and water ($6.98, bodybuilding.com).
Water-absorbing strips
Last but not least, water lovers of all ages will be happy to hear about AfterSwim's absorbent strips, ideal for quickly absorbing water from the ear canal. Safer than a Q-tip and easier to use than drying drops, AfterSwim can gently eliminate moisture, reducing the risk of ear infections, irritations, and possibly the one-legged head-thumping ritual ($10.98, amazon.com).

STOCKHOLM, Sweden (Jan. 11, 2012) — Xylem Inc. has reduced the energy consumption of a wastewater pumping station in Sweden by 50 percent using its award-winning Flygt Experior solution. At a second station also in Sweden, Xylem's Flygt SmartRun control system – one component of the Flygt Experior solution – has cut the energy use of the station by 30 percent.
Built in the early 1970s and serving approximately 450 households, Dalarna station is located in central Sweden. The station connects to a 300 meter long pipe, pumping wastewater from one side of a lake to the other. Melting snow, as well as heavy rainfall during spring, dramatically increases the inflow to the station. To prevent flooding, oversized pumps were installed that consumed more energy than necessary when running at normal inflow. The challenge to Xylem was to install a system that could handle severe variations in flow more efficiently.
Xylem's Flygt Experior system, including the Flygt SmartRun control and a Flygt N-pump were installed at the station in July 2012. Flygt SmartRun is one of the three key components of Flygt Experior which combines state-of-the-art hydraulics, premium efficiency motors and intelligent controls to deliver the ultimate in reliability, efficiency and simplicity.
Anders Fredriksen, head of wastewater transport with Xylem said, "Flygt SmartRun is optimised to achieve maximum energy savings and cleaning within wastewater pumping systems. A key feature is the patented energy minimizer function which reduces energy consumption compared to conventional on/off systems. This makes SmartRun especially suitable for use in a pump station where the inflow varies considerably and the friction losses are greater than the losses of the static head."
At another pump station in Sigtuna, Sweden, outside Stockholm, Xylem installed a Flygt SmartRun pump controller on each pump in the station. The Sigtuna station was built in 2006 and has an inflow of approximately 65,000m3 annually. Since being installed in 2011, the SmartRun controller has reduced the energy consumption of the station by 30 percent according to tests.
Xylem is a water technology provider, enabling customers to transport, treat, test and efficiently use water in public utility, residential and commercial building services, industrial and agricultural settings. The company does business in more than 150 countries through a number of market-leading product brands, and its people bring broad applications expertise with a strong focus on finding local solutions to the world's most challenging water and wastewater problems. Launched in 2011 from the spinoff of the water-related businesses of ITT Corporation, Xylem is headquartered in White Plains, N.Y., with 2011 revenues of $3.8 billion and 12,500 employees worldwide. In 2012, Xylem was named to the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for advancing sustainable business practices and solutions worldwide.

The pope joke -- have we forgotten the meaning of satire?
You can easily imagine what it must be like if you are one of the Foreign Office team planning the Pope's up-coming visit. First, there are the hours of meetings in which you try to work out a suitable timetable and a suitable guest list. That nice elderly cardinal looks ideal for the top table -- then whoops, there's another scandal about smacking/child abuse/cover ups (this time involving the said cardinal) and it's back to the drawing board. Then, there is the ground work. You think you have found the ideal nursery for His Holiness to visit -- but when you do a recce, you discover that the road to it from the train station goes right through the red light district, unless you go on a detour that will take at least three hours and will overrun on His Holiness's comfort stops that you have been told to programme in every 90 minutes.
Was this what you joined the Foreign Office for, you wonder.
Anyway, to keep up morale -- for you and the rest of the team -- you sit down one evening, after another hard day as His Holiness's travel agent, and bang out a spoof programme....the one with the Benedict brand condoms and the apologies for the Spanish Armada. And you circulate it, dead-pan.
It's what any clever young person working on that kind of mind-numbing stuff would do. Thank God they still exist in the Foreign Office.
I've occasionally done it myself, in a very small way.
A few years ago I was wasting days and days of my time writing our Faculty's self-assessment document for the last RAE but one (I could well have written another academic 'output' in the time it took to construct these documents). In one of the drafts that went to our Faculty Board (about graduate student training), I wrote, deadpan "Every PhD student in the Faculty has a supervisor to write their thesis for them'... not quite up to the Spanish Armada apology level, but I thought it would reveal which of my colleagues actually read the documents (and reward those that did!). And there was a frisson of excitement at the thought of the shit that would hit the fan if it didn't get taken out before the documents were sent away.
We all had a laugh. It WAS good for morale.
In the Pope case, the document includes nothing worse than you would hear on a Radio 4 comedy programme (indeed I hope some Radio 4 comedy programme borrows the jokes).
OK, I know all about the religious sensitivities, and our centuries of anti-Catholicism. But the people who really deserve the blame here are those who leaked the damn thing to the Telegraph -- and the Foreign Office top brass who decided to turn a spoof into a diplomatic incident. ("It does not reflect the views of the Foreign Office" they solemnly said -- of course it doesn't; no one but an idiot would ever think it did.)
(If you want a glimpse of some Roman Satire, you could try me and some mates on In Our Time last week.)

KENNETH MACLEAN MURRAY - The death of Kenneth MacLean MURRAY occurred suddenly on Sunday, January 26, in Tatamagouche hospital after a short illness. Born at Tatamagouche Mountain, April 10, 1892, he was the son of the late Angus and Joanna (MacLEAN) MURRAY. The late Mr. MURRAY was a life long resident of this community where he carried on farming. He was a long standing member of the Tatamagouche Mountain United Church, also elder of the church. He took an active part in all affairs pertaining to the good of community life and was always willing to lend a helping hand. Left to mourn are his wife, the former Ada LANGILLE, three sons, Bruce of Onslow, Leonard and John, at home; five daughters Lettie (Mrs. Earle FRAME), Gays River; Jennie (Mrs. Gordon FARNELL), Upper Musquodoboit: Hilda (Mrs. Alden ROSS), London, Ont.; Hazel (Mrs. Sanford Lata), Malagash; Pearl (Mrs. Millard CHARMAN), Wallace; one brother, Robert, Edmonton, Alta.

Gordon MATHESON of the Presbyterian Church. Hymns sung by the choir were "Does Jesus Care" and "Will the Circle be Unbroken". Pallbearers were Gordon BAILEY, George WOODWORTH, Ray THOMPSON, Laurie LANGILLE, Earle MacNUTT and Louis LANGILLE.

Subject: [RMagic] Storing your Hard Copy of your Family History
Date: Mon, 10 Dec 2007 07:19:50 EST
Hi Everyone,
Happy Holidays.
Does anyone know how to store your hard copy of your family history? I was
wondering if I keep it in a plastic storage bin in my attic if it would keep
any insects such as silver fish out of it.
I do have it on CD's, but would like to keep a hard copy of it also. I'd
appreciate any help/suggestionss you may give me.

Originally posted on Awful Announcing | Last updated 4/13/13
"I was misquoted!" has become a key line of defense for many athletes once they realize they've said something that's going to cause a stir, and sometimes, they even appear to be right. That doesn't seem to be the case with oft-controversial Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman, though. Sherman got himself into a bit of trouble this week, as his Tuesday appearance at Cambridge Elementary School in Surrey, B.C. to hand out NFL Play 60 apparel and a technology grant (part of NFL Canada's Take A NFL Player To School initiative) resulted in him dispensing a controversial quote as well. However, unlike most cases where a quote comes into dispute, there's solid evidence that Sherman actually said it. Long-time Vancouver Sun sports reporter Mike Beamish was in attendance at the event, and asked Sherman about the suspension for Adderall he successfully challenged last year; Beamish quoted Sherman as saying "About half the league takes it" (as a closing note in a story that focused on Sherman's appearance at the school), and that quote quickly spread like wildfire across NFL blogs and other media outlets. Sherman predictably responded on NFL Network's NFL AM Thursday, saying he didn't make the comment and accusing Beamish of making it up to gain attention: "First off, I didn't say that," Sherman said. "It's just another case of these writers trying to gain a little notoriety in an interview. What I said was there's a bunch of guys on prescription for Adderall. I've never seen people get prescribed a performance-enhancing drug, you know what I mean?....They go so crazy when guys test positive for it, but a bunch of guys have prescriptions for it, so it's kind of misleading." In most cases, that's usually where a story like this one ends; the journalists involved stick by their reporting, the player says they were misquoted or taken out of context, and fans decide for themselves who's to be believed. The Sun did one better, though. Sun videographer Mike Bell was filming the Sherman interview, and sports editor Scott Brown smartly posted that video online with a new story denouncing Sherman's claims. Brown also includes a transcript of the conversation and some further comments from Beamish, who said he saw Sherman's 50 percent number as a bit of hyperbole, but did think Sherman was trying to diminish the issue: "Hyperbole is what it was. I don't think he literally meant that 50 percent of NFL players use Adderall. But a lot of them do use it, Sherman implied," Beamish said Thursday. "It was an attempt, however, to minimize the severity of the issue." From this corner, the Sun deserves a lot of credit for how they handled this. A high-profile attack on the credibility of their paper and their reporters like the one Sherman launched Thursday is never easy to take, but they handled it very professionally, defending their reporting (and proving it) but not personally attacking Sherman. This also speaks to the value of getting interviews on tape: if an athlete or coach suddenly doesn't want to be associated with a quote they made, it's a lot harder for them to get out from under it if you have solid proof they said it. The next time Sherman or another athlete wants to change his story after the fact, he'd be well-advised to make sure there isn't already footage of what he actually said.
