"This is the most comprehensive effort to modernize our copyright laws in over a decade," James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages, said about the country's controversial new Copyright Modernization Act. The new law — also known as Bill C-11 — aligns Canada more closely with the World Intellectual Property Organization. The country's long reluctance to update its anti-piracy laws made it a regular on the U.S. Trade Representative's annual Priority Watch List. In February the International Intellectual Property Alliance said that Canada's effort to combat piracy "falls far short of what should be expected of our neighbor and largest trading partner, with ineffective border controls, insufficient enforcement resources, inadequate enforcement policies, and a seeming inability to impose deterrent penalties on pirates." Canada's new law includes a provision that the U.S. strongly supported that makes it illegal for consumers to break so-called digital locks, including copy protection mechanisms on CDs and DVDs. It also increased the penalties for infringment: Those who use copyrights for commercial purposes without the owner's permission could pay as much as $20,000 while individuals who do so for non-commercial purposes can be charged as much as $5,000. Internet service providers will have to notify customers when a copyright owner identifies a potential infringement. But the law extends fair dealing provisions to encompass education, parody and satire use; time shifting for legally obtained broadcast media, and reproducing copyrighted work for education purposes. Parliament agreed to review the law every five years. "The legislation isn't perfect, but it's a major step forward in terms of job protection and creation in our industry," says IATSE International President Matthew D. Loeb.
Canada Passes Major Overhaul of Copyright Protection Law

Yessh there are now so many laws now we are covered in every aspect from waking to sleep – wait, omg not sure if there are laws to cover sleeping yet!!! Might just as well sentence the whole planet to death, then start over and let insects or someone run the place.
the insects will rule the earth one day.
I went to the drive-in last night; believe me, they have ALREADY taken over!
Yes Canadians, welcome to your new world, where you only "rent" the media you buy for one kind of player. Don't even think of putting that new CD into your IPOD without buying a brand spanking new copy. You mash up DJ's had better find another gig to play, stripping out songs back beats, and hooks will guarantee you jail time. Game pros found in possession of mods should be good for at least two years less a day in prison as well.
Isn't a trillion dollars what the RIAA uses as their base point for damages these days?
i thought the extra taxes on blank media products(recordable cd/dvd/cassette/vhs) paid for all the piracy conplaints,here in canada i mean
Yes, good point. What happened to all that money?
Funny how in Canada the MPAA and the CRIA both are quick to the corporate welfare trough when it comes to blank media levy, but conspicuously quiet when they successfully lobby to get a law that essentially makes those levies pointless!
The Harvard suits will never stop piracy because just like any dyke when one hole is plugged another leak shows up. I think of all the various delivery methods over the years, as one gets shut down another quickly replaces it.
Though I do wonder who the entertainment industry will try to blame when they produce another sh*t movie/album and it bombs in the market? The Chinese??

Maier wins and Walchhofer crashes in Kvitfjell downhill; Miller fourth
Maier wins and Walchhofer crashes in Kvitfjell downhill; Miller fourthHermann Maier of Austria won the Kvitfjell downhill today in Norway, while Bode Miller of the United States extended his slim lead in the overall World Cup standings with a fourth place finish.
Maier beat his young teammate Mario Scheiber by 0.13 seconds. Maier's last downhill win came over a year ago at St. Anton, Austria. This is his 49th World Cup win, which makes him one short tying the mark of Alberto Tomba.
Third place went to Switzerland's Ambrosi Hoffman, who sat out the early part of this season with an injury to the medial collateral ligament in his knee.
Miller and his teammate Daron Rahlves were fourth and fifth on the Kvitfjell track. Their teammate Scott Macartney, who started first, finished 43rd. The only other American in the race, Justin Johnson, did not finish. The top Canadian in the race, Erik Guay, finished 13th.
Benjamin Raich of Austria came into the race trailing Miller by just 31 points in the overall standings — the closest margin of the season. Raich got big air on Kvitfjell's jumps, and looked ragged as he approached the finish. He finished 12th in the race. He now trails Miller by 59 points.
Miller also closed the gap on World Cup downhill standings leader Michael Walchhofer, who crashed into the netting but skied away unhurt. Miller now trails Walchhofer by 93 points in that category, so to win the globe he would need to win the final downhill on March 9, and would need Walchhofer to finish out of the points.
Early in the race, Patrick Jaerbyn of Sweden crashed hard and spun off the course into the fences. He was able to stand up, but clutched his wrist in pain.
There is a super G scheduled for Sunday at this Norwegian resort, which was used for the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. The American coaches will set that course this afternoon.
On Sunday and Monday, the top athletes will fly to Switzerland to take part in next week's World Cup Finals — one race in each discipline to wrap up the season and determine the discipline title champions.

The Maersk Group delivered a profit of USD 925m (USD 5.2bn) and an underlying profit of USD 3.1bn (USD 4.5bn).
After a satisfactory result in the first half of the year with a ROIC of 10.2%, Maersk Group was severely impacted by a widening supply-demand gap across most of our businesses, leading to significant oil price and freight rate reductions. ROIC for the second half of the year was negative 6.3%, impacted by impairments of USD 2.5bn after tax in Maersk Oil and for Q4 there was an underlying loss of USD 9m (profit of USD 1.0bn).
The Group delivered a strong cash flow from operating activities of USD 8.0bn (USD 8.8bn) for the year and USD 2.0bn (USD 2.4bn) in Q4, despite a significant decline in container freight rates and oil prices.
"We are satisfied with the good operational performance across our businesses in 2015. Despite the very challenging market conditions in our industries, all business units delivered positive underlying profits and the Maersk Group achieved an underlying result of USD 3.1bn. Given our expectation that the oil price will remain at a low level for a longer period, we have impaired the value of a number of Maersk Oil's assets by USD 2.6bn after tax. We will continue to strengthen the Group's position through strong operational performance and growth investments," says Group CEO Nils S. Andersen.
In the video interview (download MP4-file top right) Group CEO Nils S. Andersen comments on the 2015 full year result, low oil and freight rates, and the challenges and opportunities for the Maersk Group in these difficult markets.

The Canadian hotel industry reported increases in the three key performance metrics during the week of 25-31 May 2014, according to data from STR.
In year-over-year comparisons, occupancy rose 3.5 percent 71.7 percent; average daily rate was up 2.2 percent to CAD$137.93; and revenue per available room increased 5.7 percent to CAD$98.95.
Among the provinces, Prince Edward Island reported the largest increase in occupancy, up 12.3 percent to 52.8 percent. Conversely, Newfoundland and Labrador reported the steepest decline, down 13.3 percent to 75.8 percent.
Quebec experienced the greatest increase in ADR, up 6.4 percent to CAD$149.03. The greatest loss in this metric was reported by Newfoundland and Labrador, where rates fell 4.1 percent to CAD$150.92. However, CAD$150.92 was also the highest actual ADR for the week.
Only Prince Edward Island (+13.1 percent to CAD$66.50) and Quebec (+12.6 percent to CAD$115.71) experienced double-digit RevPAR increases. Whereas growth in Prince Edward Island was largely occupancy-driven, rate growth in Quebec outpaced occupancy growth. Newfoundland and Labrador (-16.9 percent to CAD$114.33) reported the only double-digit RevPAR decline.

Panellists from left: Howard Shaw, Mary Ann Tsao, Arent Jan (AJ) Hesselink (moderator), Toh Wee Kiang, Tai Lee Siang and Jack Mama.
Singapore - Singapore has achieved many accolades as a liveable city, and is recognized for its excellent infrastructure and use of technology, but there is a critical need to emphasize the community aspect, panellists pointed out at the Philips Seminar on "Future Living Spaces in Singapore". Held on 30 July, the public seminar, organized by Philips as part of its 60th anniversary celebrations in Singapore, attracted close to 200 participants, including tertiary students from arts and design colleges, institutes, polytechnics, universities as well as members of green and sustainability societies.
Panel members, comprising representatives from Economic Development Board (EDB), Philips Design, Singapore Environment Council (SEC), Singapore Institute of Architects (SIA) and Tsao Foundation, discussed the macro trends of aging, climate change, sustainability and urbanization, and their impact on future living spaces in Singapore.
Re-establishing kampong spirit, increasing social bonding and inclusivity
A key conclusion drawn was the lack of community interaction and social bonding in today"s Singapore society. "With today"s urban flats, we boxed people up in their home, resulting in a loss of interactivity and sense of community. We think of living spaces as only our living room. But for future living spaces, we need to think beyond our homes. Initiatives, such as Vertical Kampong by the National Volunteer & Philanthropy Center, look at reviving the kampong spirit in the community we live in by promoting the spirit of trust, helping and sharing with one another," said Howard Shaw, former Executive Director of SEC and Senior Vice President, Corporate Social Responsibility, Halycon Group.
"It is time to re-establish that sense of kampong spirit and for Singaporeans to look beyond our four walls. We have done a lot in hardware in Singapore, but we need to do a lot more in "heartware"," he continued.
Tai Lee Siang, President of Singapore Institute of Architects (2007-2009) and Group Managing Director of Ong & Ong Pte Ltd, elaborated further, "We used to spend a lot of time at the dining table with parents and grandparents, but now we can"t even fit in a proper table at home as space is getting smaller. We need to make spaces more innovative. Singapore is known for its excellence in embracing hardware and technology, but the key challenge is to develop our city with a soul. We still have a lot of work to do to build up the social and cultural aspects of our city, while leveraging technology to help create solutions or build facilities that can increase social bonding and inclusivity."
Technology not the only answer
The panellists also highlighted that while technology plays an important role, it is also about a cultural and mindset shift. "Technology is not the answer to everything. It is but a means to a goal, which is to improve quality of life, and hence, must be human-centered. At Philips Design, when we conduct design probes, we always begin by looking at people and thinking about their needs. We also take a multi-disciplinary approach to consider different viewpoints and work creatively with people from various fields to overcome constraints," said Jack Mama, Creative Director of Probes program, Philips Design.
"In envisioning future living spaces, I believe there are many opportunities and possibilities. Our attitudes towards waste and energy consumption have to change drastically. How can we solve the challenge to urbanization? How can we make 40 square meters perform like 80 square meters? Thinking and rethinking the space and how we live in that space is critical," Mama further elaborated. "Within the design probe projects we have set out to address some of these issues within different future contexts and suggest new possibilities. These projects serve as a catalyst to stimulate debate and feedback around selected themes and in turn generate what we call contextual insights."
Challenge of climate change
Climate change is also a challenge for any city that strives to be sustainable and liveable. The threat of climate change will continue to have significant impact on the physical, biological and human systems around the world. According to the World Meteorological Organization, the 1990s was the warmest decade, and the 1900s was the warmest century during the last 1,000 years.
"Over the last forty years, the government has been dealing with challenges relating to limitations on land, water and other resources. We have developed innovative urban solutions which we can offer to the world. Today, we need to design our buildings to be much more energy efficient, as dealing with climate change and environmental sustainability will be the key challenge this century. In Singapore as well as globally, we need to accept that at some point, there are physical limits to growth. The Earth has a finite carrying capacity. We need to look at how we can create prosperity without necessarily having high growth rates. Prosperity without growth doesn"t imply stagnation or lack of progress. It just means we channel more efforts towards achieving outcomes that may be difficult to measure, but which are increasingly important, e.g. creating more liveable spaces, improving the quality of human relationships and improving income equality," said Toh Wee Khiang, Executive Director of Human Capital and Building & Infrastructure Solutions Divisions, Singapore EDB.
A city for all ages
At the same time, Singapore is also grappling with the challenges of a rapidly aging population. By 2030, one in five residents will be 65 years or older. By 2050, Singapore"s median age will be 54, similar to Japan and Italy, making it one of the demographically oldest countries in the world.
Dr. Mary Ann Tsao, President and Founding Director of the Tsao Foundation, added her perspective in relation to the elderly population. "Singapore is a remarkable city, but I am not sure if we are a city of all ages, especially for the elderly. People are living longer now, and thus a liveable city has to be a city for all ages, to be inclusive, to allow and invite participation from all citizens in all aspects of life. Technology can play a role in enabling connectivity between people, and with nature. We need to re-look at how we plan public spaces, make them accessible, and at the same time, improve the flow of information, amongst people in the community, young and old, be it within or outside of homes."
Building a sustainable, liveable city and forging a new identity
The panellists also pointed out unique challenges faced by Singapore in building a sustainable, liveable city. An interesting point raised by Howard Shaw was that Singapore would need to look at food security, beyond water and energy security. "Currently, only 1% of land in Singapore is used for food production. There is an opportunity to look into vertical farming and food producing units, such as using our HDB flats, near our living spaces within our city," added Shaw.
Tai also highlighted how Singapore is unique when compared to other bigger countries. "The issue of identity for Singapore needs to be approached differently from bigger countries where the ratio distribution of demographics is very different. Singapore has a population that is made up of both citizens and foreigners - how do we forge a new identity that is not purely based on citizenship, but instead create a community to make everyone feel that they belong here? We need to re-look at Singapore as a new kind of city-state, as an economic and technology hub with global citizens housed within a small island of less than 700 square kilometres sharing a common goal."
Making cities liveable or making liveable cities cannot be achieved without the help and the support of the communities and the inhabitants of the cities.
"Through this seminar, we hope to raise awareness and inspire the public, in particular the students, to think about future living spaces in Singapore – rethinking how we plan physical space, as well as social spaces, whether it"s through design, technology or a multi-disciplinary approach to build community and make Singapore a more livable city for people of all ages, said Wong Lup Wai, Country Manager of Philips Singapore. "Innovation centred around human needs is the key to improve people"s health and well-being and to help secure the long-term future of our city. And we hope to see some inspiring and creative ideas from our students through Philips Singapore"s "Future Living Spaces" contest."
The contest is open to all tertiary students from 29 July to 19 September, and the video contest entries will be made available for public voting online till 23 September. The top 20 entries will be identified by the highest number of votes. The judges will then pick the best idea as well as the most inspiring and most innovative ideas, from this list. The top 3 winners and the top entries, will win $10,000 worth of cash and products in prizes.

Tank Overview
The first thing I noticed about the Tank when I took it out of the box was that it was rather light. This is because it is made of all aluminum. Most cases have a steel design with the front bezel being aluminum, but not the Tank. The entire case is made of Aluminum. This not only makes the case lightweight, but also make it look great. The brushed aluminium finish on the front bezel looks awesome! The case is all black and only comes in this color.
Taking a look at the front of the case you can really see the nice brushed aluminum finish. Starting towards the top you have three 5.25-inch drive bays and a 3.5-inch drive bay in a normal-sized one. Below that there is a large section of ventilation holes, behind those is a large 230mm intake fan.
On the top of the case you will find all of your connections and the power and reset button. You do have 2 USB 3.0 ports, an eSATA port and your HD audio connectors. Moving towards the back of the case you will find another large ventilated section that houses two 140mm fans.
As we take a look at the back of the case you can see another fan. This is a 140mm exhaust fan. So in total you have 4 included fans. There are 2 large water-cooling holes and above them is another ventilation section. You will also notice a handle on the side panel, this makes it easier to remove. Another thing that you will notice all around this case is thumbscrews, they are always a welcome sight.
Flipping the case over there are 4 large feet on the case. You will also notice another ventilation section that is right below where your power supply will be installed.

"Ah, this is obviously some strange usage of the word 'safe' that I wasn't previously aware of." —Douglas Adams
There are people who don't like various aspects of our business. There are those opposed to science in general. Then there is a rather larger group who are against chemicals. Never mind all that carbon, nitrogen and oxygen in their bodies, they want "chemical-free" products. There is a significant group who take issue with the safety of many chemicals used in personal care products, and especially some specific components such as parabens, sulfates and phthalates.
There is a vocal group of consumers who are against the use of fragrances. Lest you think they are all unscientific fanatics, remember that there are a lot of cosmetics that boast of being "fragrance free." It is a complicated and emotional situation, with no simple solution. We certainly must be aware of the varied aspersions cast upon us. We need to make the safest possible products, and then it is critical to communicate that fact clearly to our customers and the general public.
Since you are reading this, we at least know that the Large Hadron Collider did not create a black hole and swallow the Earth, but suspicion of science continues. In 2001, the American Chemical Council started a "good chemistry" campaign placing emphasis on "chemistry" rather than "chemicals." Dow Chemical launched its "Human Element" (Hu) campaign in 2006 to promote the benefits of chemistry. A key feature of Dow's campaign was the insertion of Hu into the periodic table. The rise of green chemistry is certainly a positive trend, but it may be too technical in its essential nature to influence the attitudes of the general public.
A recent blast at our industry is Stacy Malkan's book, Not Just a Pretty Face: The Ugly Side of the Beauty Industry.1 While most of it is not pleasant reading, it would be foolish to not consider some of the positive ideas it contains. If we jump to chapters 10 and 11, Malkan offers some inspiring ideas for future product development and brings us up to date with the activities of Horst Rechelbacher, while introducing the benefits of biomimicry.

I think that whether the original Occupy models and activities visibly survive the winter is not really important. The natural pattern is involution and conservation of energy through the winter, and blossoming in the spring. With the election crap in full swing, and candidates fully exposed on the road to actions and ridicule, I am beginning to plan for and very much looking forward to the opportunities of the new year to really make some impact. Cherry blossoms and peoples democracy will come Full Force to DC and the nation.

On Oct. 24, 1992, the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Atlanta Braves to win their first World Series. To mark the 20th anniversary of the historic victory, we asked readers to share their memories of the big win. Here are some of them. Add your own in the comments section.
I was in Grade 10 and was working as a dishwasher at Red Lobster in Oakville. We were listening to the game on the radio in the kitchen, and my shift (thankfully) ended at 8 p.m. My buddy Claudio picked me up and we drove straight to SkyDome, listening to the game on AM radio. We heard Joe Carter's homerun on the Gardiner, and by the time we pulled in to Spadina, the streets were littered with people and we were stuck firmly in place. We rolled down our windows and spent the next two hours high-fiving people on the street.
Nick Lewis, Vancouver
I was in Toronto, watching the game on TV at home with my family. I was 16. I went to the first ever Blue Jays game in the snow as a 1 year old with my father, my best friend (also 1), and her father. My friend moved to Edmonton when we were 7, but we remained close. Moments after the Jays won the Series our phone rang – it was my friend and her father calling to celebrate from across the country.
Laura Barnett, Ottawa
I was in Toronto from Newfoundland for a work conference and that night was at a bar on King Street with a friend who attended Ryerson and a bunch of her buddies. When the last out was made by Timlin and Carter, we all high-fived, hugged and jumped for joy. We spent the next two hours singing O Canada and high fiving with strangers up and down Yonge Street. I will always remember the guy with the expensive BMW in the middle of Yonge street with people walking over his car and he was smiling.
Sheldon Quinton, St. John's
I was at a house party in Yorkton, Sask., and I had a magnum of champagne "just in case." We were watching the game on TV in the basement, and with two out in the bottom of the 9 , I went upstairs to get the bottle. I popped the cork at about the same time that Atlanta tied the game, so we waited. Yes, we got to drink it a bit later that night, but for a while I was worried that I would be remembered as the reason why the Jays lost. As fate would have it, the team absolved me of that faux pas.
Ken Pilon, Regina
I was at a wedding reception in Stratford, Ont. Everyone was huddled around a small TV that someone had found in a back room...well, almost everyone. Despite being a huge baseball fan, I was also a huge fan of attractive, intelligent women, so when a friend of a friend asked me to dance, I accepted. The song ended just in time for us to see Joltin' Joe jumping up and down on first base. My wife and I are going out to a nice restaurant this week to celebrate what I call "the TSN Turning Point" in my life...the day we met and the day the Jays won their first World Series.
Scott Martin, Ayr, Ont.
I watched the game on the Jumbotron at the SkyDome. Organizers allowed entrants for a canned food donation. We all streamed onto the field after Joe Carter delivered the fatal, fantastic blow. I went straight to left field (Carter's defensive position), knelt down and bowed to our hero (I was only 17 at the time, so forgive the melodrama). It was a great day for Toronto and all of Canada. One I'll never forget.
Matt Muirhead, Ottawa
Me, my buddy and my dad went down to the SkyDome to watch the game on the Jumbotron. I was 13 years old and had never seen a crowd in such a frenzy. Throughout the game, the entire stadium mocked the Tomahawk Chop in perfect unison. When the final out came, I was beside myself. We walked up Yonge Street, high-fiving cops along the way. I can't remember so much civic pride in Toronto – we could sure do with a dose of it now.
Scott Dalgleish, Toronto
My wife and I were graduate students living in Ottawa, we didn't own a TV so we turned on the radio and sat in our small kitchen and watched it through our neigbour's window! After the Jays won, the entire apartment erupted and everyone ran out into the street and we met our neigbours!
Olaf Juergensen, Ottawa
I was at a good friend's house in Burlington for his birthday when Joe Carter hit that magical home run, and everyone in the house jumped up and down, screaming like wild things. My friend's two-year-old son, Tommy, was watching the game with us, and he burst into tears from all of the commotion. We had to pause in our celebrations to comfort him. It was sweet.
Alex Beamish, Toronto
I was at the game in Atlanta (sitting behind the Atlanta bull pen). I knew I had good seats as Don Chevrier was sitting behind me! Earlier in the day, my sister (who came with me) and I met Cito Gaston in the hotel lobby. As thrilling as it was to see Joe Carter's home run live a year later, Game 6 in 1992 beats it for me. There is only one first time.
Douglas Hancock, Mississauga
Growing up in Ottawa, I was in Hull, Que., that night celebrating my birthday. I remember they technically won it on Oct. 25, since the game went past midnight. I thought that was particularly nice of the Blue Jays to wait until it was my actual birthday before winning it!
Paul Levia, Montreal
I was only 8 years old but remember that day like it was yesterday. I was with my family, gathered around the TV set at a family friend's house with about 20 other people. We were nervous as it was a tight game the whole way. But when Otis Nixon bunted right to Mike Timlin who then threw to first base for the out, we were jubilated. It's a moment I'll never forget. It's definitely a feeling this city needs once again!
Hassan Ahmad, Toronto
I was only 12 and watched the game at a friend's house in Thornhill. When they won, her parents drove us downtown to celebrate in the streets in front of the SkyDome! What an exciting experience!!
Lauren Guluk, Toronto
I was in Grade 10 and in class in Mississauga. What I remember is skipping classes the rest of the day to head downtown for the victory celebration. We made our way downtown using the free GO Train service honouring the win for the day.
Lisa Cockerill, Burlington, Ont.

Prized freshman quarterback Pat Bostick, who returned home to Lancaster on the eve of Pitt training camp for "personal issues," will return Tuesday after missing seven days of practice.
"We're driving out tomorrow morning, as a matter of fact," said Bostick's father, Pat Sr. "Speaking for Pat, he's just really excited to get back with his teammates and the coaching staff. He's looking forward to it."
The 6-foot-3, 230-pound Bostick was expected to compete for the starting job against junior Bill Stull and redshirt freshman Kevan Smith. Bostick was a two-time all-state selection at Manheim Township High School and was considered the state's top quarterback prospect and one of the top 10 nationally by recruiting services.
Pitt will practice twice Tuesday, with a light practice in the morning and a 75-play scrimmage in the afternoon. Bostick Sr. isn't sure whether his son will participate in the latter. The younger Bostick spoke with offensive coordinator Matt Cavanaugh but didn't determine a timetable to play.
"I know he's going to be there, whether he'll be in pads or not I don't know but he'll be there," Bostick Sr. said. "It hasn't specifically been discussed. I don't think he's going to be thrown out there tomorrow, but on the other hand I think he'll be competing relatively quickly. The situation will depend on how things play out."
Bostick's arrival gives Pitt three scholarship quarterbacks. The Panthers were forced to rely on three freshman walk-ons during split-squad drills last week, especially after Stull injured the thumb on his right (throwing) hand and did not participate in Saturday's contact drills.

text: Posted July 25, 2013 Hello everyone. I've been lurking around here for a while. I'm from Romania, not exactly a RL heartland, and I find Rugby League a fascinating concept of a sport, which provides good games more often than not. I follow NRL games on their official livestream channel and keep myself updated on European (mainly British of course) rugby league from various sources. I generally like the balance provided in the rules, the 6-tackle rule is very challenging and makes for equal opportunities with the ball. Still I feel the game can be upgraded, as it has always been creative in its approach and always dared to take radical ideas to heart. The play-the-ball is a quick and elegant way to restart play, for example, at the middle point between the messy rucks of Union and the elaborate snap formations of American football. The rules as they stand now entice teams to a formulaic style of play. I'm going to risk being ridiiculed - after all this is only my 2nd post here - and post some ideas to bring back creative rugby without losing the fine balance between defense and attack. There I go: - Ditch the scrum altogether. It looks ridiculous as it is, makes a joke of the classic Union scrum positions and the grouping of players is very rarely exploited anyway. Instead, when a knock-on or another scrum situation appears, make it a play-the-ball on the spot, with the tackle count starting at zero, thus giving the team an extra tackle to work with. - Allow only two defensive players to be involved in a tackle. Three tacklers or more - instant penalty. Will make for easier play-the-balls, more offload opportunities, and bring back the skill in tackling, instead of four-player gang assaults. - To balance this, bring the defense at 5 meters instead of the current 10. This will force the attacking team to try more creative strategies, and maybe you will see the return of chip-and-chase or high chase kicks on 2nd or 3rd tackle, and innovative passing plays looking for the line break. - Borrow from Union the rule which prohibits kicking the ball dead, giving the defensive team a scrum from the spot of the kick. You can make it applicable from behind the defenders' 30 meters line, because a crossfield kick is one thing and a mindless booting of the ball away is a whole other thing. - At the end of a half, allow the team in possesion to play on till they complete their set of tackles, if they so wish. The game is pretty good as it stands, but I feel these ideas are worth debating. Rugby League kept reinventing itself and this doesn't have to stop.

Local Football Teams are eager to sign Fermanagh's Answer to George Best!! In our local Paper today Craig made the following headlines, LIVINGSTONE'S PILE DRIVER IS ENOUGH FOR ORCHARD!! For long periods of this third division encouter it looked like it was going to end up up goalless as Orchard Farm looked as though they were going to have one of those days when the ball wouldn't go in for them but with time running out they struck for a winner which on the balance of play they thoroughly deserved. Naill Bradley went close on a couple of occasions for the visitors in the first half although they had also keeper Timothy Elliot to thank for a couple of decent saves at the opposite end of the field. In the second half it was all Orchard Farm as they continued to put the pressure on the Drum United defence with Bradley and Mc Kernan both going close to breaking the deadlock. With only five minutes left to play they finally broke the deadlock when a corner wasn't cleared properly by the Drum United defence and the ball broke for Craig Livingstone who hit a real pile driver low into the corner of the net from twenty five yards out to decide the setiny of the points.

>Gears and Wears>Running shoes with toe entry
solo from the pet rock
A friend I run with recently purchased some vibram shoes. I'm thinking of buying a pair because they feel comfortable, but
does anyone know if they end up injuring you legs (shin or calf) or feet after habitual use and are they worth the price or
am I better off buying some other type of running shoe.
I'm relatively new to running and training to enter a 5k race in late February. Any recommendations on foot wear?
2012 Goals:
Run 100 miles * Run 300 miles * Enter/Finish a 5K race
an amazing likeness
When you say "Vibram shoes", I'm assuming you mean the Vibram 5-Fingers "toe shoes"? If so, these 'barefoot' shoes almost require you to become a student of barefoot running. Personally, I don't do it -- but there doesn't seem to be a bunch of evidence that moving to barefoot-style running causes more injuries if approached properly. There seems to be a growing set of evidence, on the other hand, pointing out that the standard, modern heavily built-up running shoe is contributing (in some way) to injuries.
I've done my best to live the right way. I get up every morning and go to work each day. (for now)
I like Milktruck's post but I would like to add that it doesn't have to be one or the other. I wear regular trainers for most of my miles and go bare for sprints, trails, and hiking. No matter how much you choose to do it, the most important aspect is learning the proper way to ease into it to avoid injury. You can probably find youtube tutorials or I'm sure there are people here who could point you in the right direction.
Alright, will do. Thanks for the advice.
Oh roo roooo!
There is a barefoot forum here that likely has some basic info. I know there used to be a barefoot forum at Runner's World that had a couple of sticky'd items at the top that addressed how to get started in detail. Maybe one of those would be helpful.
When I first started running I wasn't aware of the minimalist or "barefoot" shoe trend. I was just cheap. When I saw some water shoes (which are pretty similar to vibram five fingers outside of the lack of toe separation) on clearance at walmart for $1 a pair I bought a bunch and ran in them. I've had no problems at all. I think it helps that I was not already a runner with lots of miles in "normal" running shoes so I didn't have so much retraining to do. I eased into the water shoes as I eased into running since the two things occurred simultaneously...

Campaign bias toward those already in office
My son is a volunteer for a Republican candidate for governor. He got involved with this campaign because he is interested in the party and has spoken of one day running for an office.
During this campaign he has kept me informed of what goes on, and also has invited me to go with him and help.
With what has been happening lately, upsets me. He has been telling me of debates that the districts have, and that some of those districts do not include the candidates from the private sector. I guess some of those leaders feel the new delegates don't need to hear from the private sector; they only need to hear from those who are in the Legislature already. I am very upset by this for several reasons.
- With this kind of a bias how can the delegates endorse the right candidate for us, when they don't even know all the candidates or what they stand for?
- What does this say to a person that passionately wants to run for an office?
- What does this say to my son?
- What has happened to equality, can't we give the same respect to each candidate?
- Why do we continue to play the same old political games?
With this kind of attitude we can only get the same old mess!

BERLIN (Oct. 2)
Most of the prisoners, including Jews, held at the Dachau concentration camp near Munich have been transferred to the Buchenwald camp in Thuringia, according to reports today from Weimar. For the last week, two or three transports daily have arrived at Buchenwald and the camp's population has risen from 2,000 to more than 20,000. The move reportedly was dictated by plans to intern members of the Czech colony in Vienna in the event of war.
Forty Austrian refugees deported recently from Holland as illegal immigrants have been jailed in Dusseldorf, it was learned here. The refugees came to Holland from Vienna after crossing Germany, but were brought back by the Netherlands police and handed over by the German frontier authorities to the Gestapo (German political police) at Dusseldorf.
Jewish leaders in Dusseldorf are attempting to find an emigration land for the group. At the same time, attempts are being made in Berlin to have the refugees returned to Vienna, there to await an orderly emigration plan. The Dusseldorf Gestapo, however, has refused to release the prisoners and threatens to place them in a concentration camp unless they are enabled to emigrate soon.


text: Confused Girl Talks Job Interviews & Salsa Dancing I'm not even going to lie about it. This has been a stressful week. I had... more »I'm not even going to lie about it. This has been a stressful week. I had three job interviews...ugh. I'm not trying to sound ungrateful but they're so emotionally draining and a big waste of energy if it doesn't work out. It's so funny how every interview this week brought up different emotions. On one of my job interviews, I was completely disinterested in the position and I didn't care enough to fake it. It was a "why am I here?" situation. The second interview, I was super interested in and maybe came off a little too eager. I was trying to answer each question in a way that would please the employer. By the third interview, I was like "F... IT! I'm just going to be completely myself. Love it, hate it....whatever!" And it was this interview I got a call back for a second interview. This is how I interpreted this lesson. We are all our own distinct ice cream flavors. If you are strawberry be strawberry. Don't try to be vanilla because you can never be vanilla and vanilla can never be strawberry. The strawberry lovers are going to love you because you're their favorite flavor. "To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment." ― Ralph Waldo Emerson Salsa dancing was the new thing I tried this week. I had such a good time. I had no idea that I would enjoy it so much. I loved the self expression through the movement and music. It was a great gift I gave myself this week. I am going to start doing it regularly. That is the beauty about trying new things. Life seems to be a process of discovering ones self. It this is true, then we have to put ourselves out there in order to find our passions and small enjoyments. The one thing we all want is happiness. As I said in my video, I'm so glad I tried Bungee Jumping last week. It got me out of my comfort zone, tested my courage and taught me many things about myself. However, I don't feel the urge to do it again anytime soon. Lesson I took from this: We are all different and enjoy different things. It is good to test yourself and get out of your comfort zone every once in a while. Find the things you love and do them often. "Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions." - Dalai Lama « less Confused Girl in the City July 03, 2013 1.9k Views More Info Full Credits Confused Girl in the City Uploader Stats & Data 53Funny32Die 1,912 Views July 03, 2013 Published Category Real Life Tags confused comedy girl female LA Los Angeles Confused Girl Job Interviews Job Career interviews salsa salsa dancing dancing adventure pretty girl cute girl whiplash life advise happy laughter Up Next: Why Men Love Football AUTOPLAY Up Next In: 10 Why Men Love Football Anxiety and Flying Planes with Confused Girl (Week 13) Confused Girl in the City How a Confused Girl Bungee Jumps Follow Browse Related Comments 20+ more View All ▶ Confused Girl in the City Vaguely Related Videos Vaguely Related Pics & Words Advertisement Tags: confused comedy girl female LA Advertisement

Chop Your Vegetables The Fastest Way Possible With The Cuisinart Duet
Item ID#:
Seller ID#:
17 days
Why purchase 2 separate appliances when you can get the benefit of both a blender and a food processor in the
Cuisinart SmartPower Duet?
In a point when most people are looking to economize and make smarter investments, opting for a dual-purpose appliance is a smart choice. Not only will you economize ; you will save space. And, you will likely use this product more than if you purchased them individually.
The ingenuity of this product is the interchangeable base. The base features a seven-speed touchpad control for turning the machine on and off, pulsing, stirring, cutting, mixing, pureeing, food processing and crushing ice. The base fits both the standard 56-ounce glass blender jar and the three-cup food processor work bowl. The base also includes convenient push-in cord storage capability. The appliance is straightforward to scrub also because all the removable parts are dishwasher safe. And, the Cuisinart PowerBlend Duet is backed by a limited three-year warranty.
The Cuisinart PowerBlend Duet is so versatile that you could use it to prepare a complete meal. To show this, we are going to use recipes thanks to Cuisinart.com. For a dinner, you could prepare Butternut crush Soup with Leeks, Asian Slaw with Peanut Dressing and a Go Green Smoothie. And, with a name like Cuisinart you know that this appliance will be a part of your kitchen arsenal for years to come.
Butternut squash Soup with Leeks
Ingredients :
Instructions Insert the metal blade. With the machine running, drop the garlic through the feed tube and process to tightly chop. Scrape the work bowl. Add the leeks and heartbeat to chop, about ten beats.
Place 6-quart stockpot over medium heat and add the olive oil. When the olive oil is hot, whisk in the chopped leeks and garlic. Sweat the veggies over medium low heat so they become soft. Stir occasionally so they do not pick up any color.
While the leeks are cooking, replace the slicing blade with the cutting disc assembly. Peel and seed the squash ; cut to fit the feed tube. Cut the crush.
Add the cut squash into the stockpot with the leeks and garlic ; stir well. Add the salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
Add the wine to the pot. Bring to boiling point and let the wine reduce by half. Add the chicken broth and nutmeg. Bring soup to a low boil. Reduce heat and let broil until crush is extraordinarily soft and is simply pierced with a knife, about twenty minutes.
Strain the solids from the cooking liquid, reserving the cooking liquid. Transfer half the cooking liquid to a clean pot and reserve. Insert the metal blade. In 2 groups, add the solids to the food processor and process to pure, 2 to three mins. Scrape the work bowl to insure the mixture is homogenous. Return the pured solids to the cooking liquid and stir to incorporate. Add the lemon juice. Whisk in reserved cooking liquid to obtain desired consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning. If using the heavy cream, whisk in last and bring to boiling point.
Asian Slaw with Peanut Dressing
Instructions Insert the metal blade. Heart beat to chop the peanuts, about 10 times. Remove and reserve. With the machine running, drop the garlic and ginger down the feed tube to cut. Scrape the work bowl ; process 5 seconds longer. Add the peanut butter, sugar, rice vinegar, hoisin sauce, sesame oil, and tamari. Process until smooth, about ten seconds. Scrape the work bowl. With the machine running, add the oil in a regular flow through the small feed tube. Process until emulsified, about 10 to 15 seconds. Remove and reserve. The dressing could be made up to a few days ahead. Cover well and freeze. Permit to sit for 30 minutes at a comfortable temperature before using.
Clean the work bowl. Insert the shredding disc. Organize the radishes in the huge feed tube, cut side down, and shred. Organize the carrots horizontally in the enormous feed tube and shred. Insert the trimmed and broccoli stem in the small feed tube and shred. Transfer the shredded veggies to a large bowl.
Insert the cutting disc. Arrange the green onions in the small feed tube and cut. Organize the peppers in the large feed tube, cut side down and slice. Organize the Napa cabbage in the feed tube, cut side down and slice. Organize the bok choy in the feed tube and cut. Transfer the cut plants to the bowl with the other veggies. Add the snow peas and toss the plants to combine. Tip the dressing over the veg and toss to coat well. Move to a serving bowl and garnish with the reserved cut peanuts.
If you're serious about making cooking fast and fun again, you have to investigate the http://foodprocessorreviews.org/cuisinart-smartpower-duet/Cuisinart SmartPower Duet. It's a great tool. I highly recommend it and you can get it for a great price online.

Download rtecdc.bin ([URL="http://www.mediafire.com/?ymroinj13kt#1"]rtecdc_bin[/URL]) on a computer. 2. Rename the file from rtecdc_bin to rtecdc.bin 3. Mount SDCard and copy rtecdc.bin to the root of the SDCard. 4. Open ADB Shell or Terminal (if you want to do it from the phone) [CODE] su cat /sdcard/rtecdc.bin > /system/etc/rtecdc.bin chmod 755 /system/etc/rtecdc.bin reboot 6. Open Market and Install Barnacle 8. Open Barnacle, click Start and enjoy Wifi [/code]--> The only settings I changed on Barnacle were the SSID and installed WEP security. I must also credit Vampirefo from SDX for providing a guide for the Moment in which I modified to get it for the Behold 2. Also special thanks to Nu115u5 for brining Root to the 1.6 Update! You will need to install the rooted kernel to undergo the above procedures. Information can be found on his thread. For those wondering this is working for me with the update coming from T-Mobile. Edit: If you get a FC from Barnacle make sure you have Wifi disabled on the phone!

Only place I've ever stayed near Lincoln Rd. The place is nice, the art on the walls is kinda fancy and the prices are fair, you also get apple TV on the room, you have a small parking lot right next to it just in case you have a rental, some if the rooms could be bigger but other than that is a great place to stay, with short term rental prices. No pool or Gym,
