Tottenham's Yid Army attacked, Inter target Arsenal's Sagna, Man United seek Celtic's Wanyama & ex-Evertonian Branch jailed for drug dealing
Comment & analysis round-up
Quote of the day: "I can't express… All I can say is thanks to the Tottenham fans the way they reacted [when I collapsed]. There are people out there who prayed for me. I want to thank the chairman, and to all the Spurs fans. I am grateful to them. They are awesome fans. We just want to raise money so everyone has their heart checked. Today I wanted to visit that place one more time for closure." – Fabrice Muamba.
Runner-up: "My wife told me when I woke up this morning how jolly I looked. I told her: 'That's because I can't wait to get out the house and in to work, love.' I'd best go home and apologise now… Zaha's almost mesmeric, a genius with the ball. When he's facing up to someone, I feel for them. But he's at a place where he's loved, he's treasured. He has his own song – 'He's just too good for you' – and he's played over 100 games here. These bigwig rival clubs don't half covet talent and they try and stack 'em and rack 'em. The great thing about Palace is these lads know they're going to get in the first team with us rather than rot in someone's reserves, getting frustrated worrying they're losing time to become famous. Well Wilf's got a song about him. Some of those Arsenal lads, whoever they are, don't have songs about them, have they? They ain't got a billboard with them on like he does. Sometimes you're at the right place at the right time. We hold all the cards. If anyone comes in, I know what the answer is going to be … Can I be polite? Jog on. But don't think for one minute it's just the Wilf Zaha show. Not in a million years." – Ian Holloway.
Spurs' Yid Army Comes Under Attack
We'll sing what we want! Spurs supporters chant 'Yid Army' at Europa League clash… with police backing (Mail) Jermain Defoe's hat-trick gave Tottenham fans even more to sing about after the Metropolitan Police reassured them they will NOT face prosecution for using the word 'Yid' in matchday chants. London's police force agreed with the club and their supporters that the 'Yid Army' songs are not anti-Semitic.
David Baddiel – Tottenham fans chanting 'Yid Army' sustains anti-Semitism (John Edwards, Mail) David Baddiel has dismissed claims that ethnic origin entitles Tottenham fans to call themselves the 'Yid Army' by insisting only 'three or four per cent' are Jewish… "The idea that Spurs fans are reclaiming the Y-word and are entitled to because so many of them are Jewish is simply not true,' he said. 'There are only 250,000 Jews in Britain as a whole and I'd say about three or four per cent of Tottenham's crowd is Jewish. That means well over 90 per cent of those chanting "Yid Army" are not actually Jewish and that is just one of several reasons why it cannot be right. If, for instance, there was a team in Brixton called Brixton United, and they had a mainly white support who adopted the N-word as their badge of honour and went round chanting "N***** Army", they would be closed down tomorrow."
Y heritage isn't a problem for Spurs (Shaun Custis, Sun) Never a day goes by when my Spurs supporting mates do not call each other Yid or Yiddo. Some are Jewish, some aren't, but none of them appreciate Peter Herbert, the chairman of the Society of Black Lawyers, telling them they cannot use that nickname ever again… For years Jews were persecuted. Now they could be prosecuted for using their own language.
Arsenal: Squad Issues
Sorry Piers! Why Morgan and the 'Wenger out' brigade are still wrong about the Arsenal boss, four years on (John Cross, Mirror) I still passionately believe that Wenger is the best man for the job. I also believe the club is going in the right direction in its philosophy and long term goals. Let's see how Tottenham, Liverpool and Everton get on when – and if – they rebuild their stadiums. It's such a hard job. Gone are the days when football was about the FA Cup final on a sunny day in May and the open top bus parade. When Arsenal won the trophy in 2003, it was seen as a failure. There was even a bit of an inquest as to what went wrong. The following season, the Invincibles cleaned up.
Sagna joins list of disgruntled Gunners as talks stall over pay rise on £60k per week deal (Mail) Bacary Sagna is the latest Arsenal star heading for a long-running contract dispute. Initial discussions over an extension of the France international's deal are believed to have stalled. His current contract expires at the end of next season, but Arsene Wenger is keen to tie his first-choice right back down.
Takeaway la-Sagna? Inter Milan confident of luring Arsenal defender (Mirror) Italian giants Inter Milan are ready to pounce on Bacary Sagna's contract stand-off. Inter are convinced they will be able to lure Sagna away from Arsenal next summer as his deal has 18 months left and there are doubts over whether he will stay.
The England Squad v Sweden
Roy Hodgson: 'I have admired Leon Osman for the last five years' (Guardian) Roy Hodgson's determination not to rule out players because of age has led to an unexpected England call-up for Leon Osman, the talented Everton midfielder who now gets his first opportunity at international level at the age of 31.
Underrated Osman finally earns first England call (Simon Hart, Independent) His manager, David Moyes, suggested recently that Osman's age appeared to be the only impediment to an international call-up but that has now arrived, and he could become England's oldest debutant since Kevin Davies, then 33, appeared against Montenegro in October 2010 – and in the process reignite the debate on the best uncapped Englishman in the Premier League.
Wilshere needed a break! Wenger slams Hodgson over England recall just three games into fragile star's comeback (Laura Williamson, Mail) Arsene Wenger believes Roy Hodgson is taking an unnecessary risk with Jack Wilshere by selecting the young Arsenal midfielder for what he considers to be a meaningless international fixture designed only to make money. Wilshere has played in only three games since missing 17 months with a stress fracture injury but has still been included in Hodgson's England squad to face Sweden next Wednesday.
Wenger Jack lash at Lions call (Sun) Wenger said: "I wouldn't like to come out on my feelings on that as at the moment, they're not very positive. I saw it coming. That's all I can say. Anyway, I have no choice. If they call him up, they call him up."
Transfer Lies
Man United set to bid £12m for Celtic's Wanyama after watching Kenyan beat Barca (Mail) QPR failed with a £10million offer for Wanyama in August while Manchester City, Arsenal and Sunderland have also shown interest. Celtic signed Wanyama from Germinal Beerschot in Belgium for just £900,000 last year and last week manager Neil Lennon said he was worth £25m. However, Premier League clubs are likely to offer around £12m in January with United weighing up their move.
Arsenal look at Burnley goal-machine Austin but face fierce competition from Liverpool, Everton and others (Mail) Arsenal have joined the list of clubs monitoring Charlie Austin at Burnley. The 20-goal striker has been watched by an increasing number of Premier League scouts over the past five games as they assess his ability to make the step up. Newcastle have a long-held interest while Liverpool, Everton, Reading and Aston Villa have also taken a look at Europe's top scorer.
Chelsea weigh up £8m move for Vitesse hotshot Bony as Wallace and Bazoer moves loom (Mail) Chelsea are considering a move for powerful Vitesse Arnhem striker Wilfried Bony… Meanwhile, Fluminense's manager Abel Braga has confirmed Brazilian full-back Wallace, 18, is to join Chelsea but paperwork has yet to be completed. And PSV Eindhoven teenager Riechedly Bazoer is due to visit Chelsea and Arsenal this week as he weighs up his future.
Tottenham and Newcastle have joined the race for Blackpool star Tom Ince (Sun) Ince, out of contract in June, is keen on a Premier League return after being released by Liverpool last year. The 20-year-old — rated at £8million — fits the bill for Pardew with his age and potential sell-on value.
Villa join £3m Rob race (Sun) Aston Villa are chasing Maribor's Robert Beric, 21… Napoli and Sampdoria are also interested.
Man City keeping track of Chelsea wonderkid Conor Hunte (Mirror) Manchester City are set to have Chelsea wonderkid Conor Hunte watched this weekend. The Premier League champions have been tracking the progress of the highly-rated youngster, 16, and are understood to be keen to sign him.
West Ham monitoring Swiss U-21 starlet Izet Harjrovic (Mirror) The Grasshoppers Zurich midfielder is rated at around £3million and has also attracted interest from Lazio and Kaiserslautern.
Ex-Everton Player Is Now A Jailed Drug Dealer
Ex-City and Everton striker Branch jailed for seven years after pleading guilty to drug dealing (Mail) The 34-year-old, whose last club was Northern Premier League side Burscough, was charged with handing over just under 3kg of amphetamine to another man in a car park in Liverpool. The second charge was related to the seizure of 1kg high-purity (82percent) cocaine from his Otterspool home on July 10.

LEDs are light emitting diodes, solid state semiconductors releasing electrical energy in the form of photons or light. LEDs have become tremendously popular in the last 10 years providing illumination for a broad array of applications from auto tail-lights to surgical lighting. A primary reason for LED's growing popularity is energy efficiency. Unlike conventional lighting systems, LEDs do not break or burn out - lasting up to 50,000 hours. Used 8 hours a day that equates to 25 years! Long life means less replacement and maintenance, resulting in significant savings of energy, time, and money.
Of the options for powering LED's, rechargeable (recyclable) lithium-ion batteries are best suited for surgical LED headlights, providing un-tethered mobility for the surgeon.
Compared to xenon and halogen, ORs using LED surgical headlights can save approximately $1000 annually factoring in bulb (average bulb life is 1000 hours) and fiber optic cable replacement costs. The average cost to operate a LED surgical headlight for 4 hours is less than a penny (cost of a typical re-charging) while cost of xenon is estimated to be $.10 for 4 hours.
The greatest obstacle to LED energy efficiency and longevity is heat. Low-cost LED headlights fail to properly dissipate heat by using plastic housings and optical lenses. To obtain maximum light output combined with maximum energy efficiency, LEDs should be mounted on a metal heat-sink (copper is the optimal). Highest quality LED surgical headlights use silver-coated optical reflectors combined with aluminum housing resulting in optimal light output and energy efficient design. Improper heat-sink design will decrease the LED longevity and associated energy savings.
The energy savings from using high quality LED surgical headlights make a significant contribution in achieving green initiatives, while still providing bright, pure white illumination required for surgical procedures.

The clock barely read 30 minutes, but Heart of Lions were already two goals up away in Tema against Amidaus Professionals. They were on fire. They were buzzing.
Yusif Abubakar's charges knew they had an outisde chancing of creeping into the the title race. It was not theirs to call, though. Seven points adrift of the top and with three games to go, the the ball was certainly not in their court. All they were sure of was that not winning would not help their cause. All they could do – and had to do – was to win, and hope. And here they were, coming out of the blocks ferociously, leaving no stone unturned. They were feeling the thrill of closing their end of the deal, blindsided by the other end, but hopeful…because all they could do was hope at that point.
The other end? League leaders Asante Kotoko, Lions' rivals for the title, were away at New Edubiase United, and were struggling to score. They were nervous. They needed a win to seal their 23rd Ghana Premier League title, just three points to land their third league win on the trot. Edubiase were proving stubborn, too. They had their own issues, their own motivations: trying to avoid getting embroiled in the massive relegation battle, and they were not in any mood to allow the Porcupine Warriors to pop the champagne on their turf.
Kotoko's next two games would be against archrivals Hearts of Oak and resurgent, relegation-threatend Aduana: two very, very difficult fixtures. Lions, on the other hand, had a remaining two fixture line-up that read: Ashanti Gold away and King Faisal at home; two very winnable games per their current form and current strength of the opposition.
And so there was a strong sense that if Kotoko blew this chance to wrap up the title, it could prove costly. It would be unthinkable, one of the biggest cock-ups in the history of football.
At a point, in mid season, Kotoko were firmly in control at the top, breaking away from the lot with a commanding lead that reached 13 points at a point in time. They had started the season with so much fire, racking up 11 wins out of 15 in the first round.
But after a brief flash of seriousness early in the second round, they underwent a bizarre decline. It was as if they had grown increasingly bored at the top, becoming vulnerable to lethargy and complacency. The desire to sustain their form and charge towards a Bayern Munich-style midseason title wrap-up was sucked out of them by the inability of their competitors to give them a decent run for their money.
Seemingly stripped bare of their desire to compete, they paid the price, squandering a huge chunk of the lead with soulless performances and bad results. Prior to the Edubiase game, they had won just once in seven league games, and though coach Mas-Ud Didi Dramani kept playing down murmurs of a slow capitulation, there was a sense of uneasiness setting in. A sense of fear, perhaps. Was it slipping away? Dramani said the players had experienced "a dip in motivation that is natural due to the absence of competition," and that they would eventually snap out of it. Interim General Manager Samuel "Lord Zico" Opoku Nti said they were "tired" : "I've seen it from my days as a footballer too, when a team knows they have already wrapped up the title some of these things set in."
There were issues, some claimed. There were whispers that coach Dramani – who was heading towards a second title for the club – wanted closure on his future, a new contract, an assurance that Kotoko appreciated him. And there was the ever-lingering feeling of uncertainty and lack of confidence surrounding the tenure of Lord Zico too. The wave of instability was palpable, and in it's damaging ferrocity, it threatened to derail their ambitions.
But on 41 minutes in Bekwai, Kotoko rose from their slumber. The reds found the back of the net, an accompanying reverberting roar sweeping across Kumasi, laced with the deep, symbolic sigh of relief. Lanky marksman Seidu Bansey was the scorer, calming millions of Kotoko nerves with his 12th goal of the season whilst deflating the resistance of the home team.
That goal was essentially the title winner. Once the ball went in, Kotoko believed, and they knew they had finally closed the deal after the much publicized delays. Prince Baffoe added a second on the stroke of half time, and though Edubiase missed a penalty and later got a consolation, it was Kotoko's game in the end. Kotoko's day.
News of the happenings in Bekwai must have found it's way to Tema. Lions returned from the break and they were not themselves anymore, failing to muster the same enthusiasm from the first half. They ended up not scoring, rather conceding a goal to end the game as 2-1 winners. It was curtains, and they knew it.
What Kotoko had done in Bekwai was that they had responded and raised their game when the danger was most imminent; bolted towards the finish line when the enemy was closest. Largely expected to to falter owing to their own poor form and their poor record in Bekwai (never won there), Kotoko's win was a significant indication that they still had genes of champions: the ability to strike when least expected, to triumph when stuck against the odds.
These are good times at Kotoko. They now have four league titles more than Hearts of Oak – who have been trophyless for the last five years – and are dreaming of being on the receiving end of a guard of honour at home when both sides clash for the 100th time on June 1. After three years of ruling the roost, Kotoko are now safely the cocks of the walk in Ghana. Hearts of Oak were once there too, most recently from the late 90s to the early 2000s, winning the league six times on the trot amid other domestic and continental trophies.
But the tables have turned. Kotoko, on the 15th anniversary of their founder, owner and life patron, Otumfour Osei Tutu II – the Ashanti Monarch – have wrestled the much coveted title of 'champion club' from crisis-strewn Hearts, who don't look anything like a club that will bounce back soon. Kumasi is now the center of Ghanaian football power.
It is their era, their time, their turn in the ever changing seasons of dominance. But for how long?

Just like the Sitar the Tanpura
is one of the long neck lutes. It is usually stringed
with 4 or 5 metal strings (rarely with 6 strings) and
it is a basic note instrument and as such an important
component in classical Indian music. They are tuned to
the basic note and its fifth and octave. The strings are
only plucked. A characteristic feature of the Tanpura
is its sound that is very rich in overtones and the special
rich sound effect that is produced by the constant playing
of the individual strings and which has an intensive effect
on the listener. The Tanpura is thus not only an ideal
accompaniment for traditional Indian music, but also an
ideal companion for musical meditation, overtone singing
or modal improvisation.
for the other instruments TARANG offers a wide range of
northern Indian Tanpuras of different leading instrument
makers. All Tanpuras are handmade unique objects and not
instruments from industrial mass production. For this
reason, all indications of size and design are only clues
and not binding assurances. Also for Tanpuras we can fulfill
your special wishes in cooperation with an instrument
maker. Please contact us if you have special ideas.
The Indian Tun wood is mostly used for building a Tanpura.
It is an Indian variety of the well-known teak wood. The
instruments receive a shellac varnish using natural pigments.
Yellowish to reddisch shades are the rule. These come
in different lightness and range from transparent to almost
black. Simple Tanpuras usually have decorative borders
of celluloid and plain celluloid inlays as well as woodcarvings
at the resonance boxes, turned pegs and fine tuners mostly
of plastic. De luxe models stand out through their eloborate
inlaid works in the cover as well as carved wooden pegs.
The fine tuners are usually swan-shaped. All in all there
is a better quality of material and workmanship.
using strings of different thickness, the tuning of the
Tanpura can be varied to a limited extent.
standard tuning of a Tanpura consists of fifth, octaves
and basic note. In the following examples other possibilities
of traditional tuning of a Tanpura are listed when a Raga,
that is accompanied, does not have a fifth. In addition,
we have listed some more tuning examples for 5-string
and 6-string Tanpuras. The creative scope of musicians
in tuning their Tanpura, however, is hardly limited at
all. Independent of the traditional Indian guidelines
any tuning is possible.
Standard tuning: fifth - octave - octave - basic note
1st alternative: fourth - octave - octave - basic note

Tanpura can be held and played upright resting either
on the lap or on the floor, or horizontally on the lap
or on the floor in front of the player. The classical
playing technique requires to put the thumb of the playing
hand to the neck of the Tanpura so that it serves as a
support. The fingers should be placed parallel to the
middle part of the strings. Then the 1st string is plucked
with the middle finger and the 2nd, 3rd and 4th strings
with the index finger. The plucking is done by the soft
insides of the fingertips so that the plucking is more
like a soft stroking of the strings. The string should
be set resonating softly without an audible touch. The
strings are plucked in a regular rhythm but after the
touch of the 4th string there should be a slightly longer
pause before the 1st string is played again. This gives
the 4th string the opportunity to echo a little longer.
The playing rhythm should not sound too mechanical or
uniform. It is important to convey the impression of a
freely floating, lively vibration.
Tanpura is in Indian music a fundamental, elementary instrument.
It does not come to the fore so much, but connects all
the instruments involved by its sound tapestry in an unobtrusive
way. Thus it contributes to a unified musical experience.
are three main categories of Tanpuras, which vary in shape,
size, structure, basic tuning and use:
The instrumental Tanpuras with a length between 95
and 115 cm are the smallest Tanpuras. They are stringed
with 5 thin steel strings and have, compared to the other
two Tanpura categories, a flat wooden resonance box and
neck. The sound can be described as clear silvery. The
characteristic tuning of an instrumental Tanpura is around
middle C. Instrumental Tanpuras are used in Indian music
for example in Sarod or Sitar concerts.
male Tanpuras with a length of 140 - 150 cm are the longest
Tanpuras. Their whole build is generally more voluminous.
This allows a low tuning around low C. The characteristic
resonant, powerful sound is a very special experience.
Male Tanpuras are well suited for accompanying male singers.
The build of female Tanpuras corresponds, apart
from the size, to that of the male Tanpuras. With a
size of around 120 to 130 cm, they are a little smaller
than those, that is why their tuning is around G, i.e.
in both tuning and timbre between the instrumental and
the male Tanpuras. They are equipped with 4 strings
and are traditionally used for accompanying female singers.

offers on principle only high-qualtiy musical instruments.
This is made possible by close personal contact to the
suppliers and a strict selection of the instruments that
are included in our range of goods. We do not offer any
instruments which reach the west from unknown sources
via importers and which are often resold by middlemen
without any quality check and setting of the instrument.
The demand from the west is relatively high in India.
The purchase prices are negotiated to the lowest limit
by the western countries, especially for high ordered
quantities. This has effects on the required care and
circumspection in craftsmanship, on the experience and
mentality of the commissioned manufacturer and the use
of parts of the instruments that are often of a poor qualtity.
Irrespective of the qualification of the skill in craftsmanship,
this leads, in some cases, to results that do not deserve
the name instrument. Thus it is easily comprehensible
that it is essential, when bying an Indian instrument,
to know the sources. TARANG only supplies instruments
from indisputable sources. All instruments are delivered
adjusted and ready to be played.
Of course, we understand that somebody who purchases an
instrument is also dependent on accessories and spare
parts. Also in this respect we can satisfy the needs of
our customers. Should an instrument be defective at any
time, we can arrange for appropriate restoration. As a
rule we can deliver any instrument offered on our website
within 1 - 2 weeks. Our international lists of teachers
enable everybody to find information about a teacher in
their proximity. You can expect from us: reasonable prices,
prompt service and straightforward processing of purchase
and delivery.
financial aspect also has to be mentioned. Despite the
high quality we offer, we also do our best to offer you
these instruments at very competitive and reasonable prices.

Coolio Kwes =)
LOL I got fighting spirit when the fight is slightly fair. I'll make the thread using the first sig.
Not the second.
C'mon bro! Where's the fighting spirit in you?! =D
No way man, if you used that thing against me, I'd be a 100% win for you.
Actually man, could you make it with this one instead?:
Go here if you want more resources.
And I am stacked with work right now, so I will wage war with my current sig. I'll set up the battle thread.
Hahaha mate, I wish I could justify what you proclaimed, but nowadays I just can't get back to my prime. Maybe it's because I bought a Mac and lost all the PS resources with my old PC.
Btw, if you want any of the PSDs, just ask. =)
Not true. I consider you more skilled then I. I don't even know how you did some of your sigs.
In hindsight bro, we both started designing at the same time, and I've ended up getting so rusty while you just flew away lightyears skill-wise. xD
Ooooo very noice!
I'll whip up a new sig to use, should only take a little bit. Then I'll put the thread up.
I've got this one. I think I haven't used it in an SOTW yet.
Damn. Do you have any other sigs lying around that you have not used in a SOTW?
Late June, man.
When do your exams end?
I thought that bro, but then I have no time to design nowadays with the abysmal exams. =P
You can change the sig you want to battle it with though. Your choice dude. =)
Doesn't it seem weird to use the sigs we are using in the SOTW in the battle? Why not make new ones to use in it?
Actually mate, is it possible you set it up? Got an exam in like 3 hours and I'm just like panicking. =P
Thanks man. =D
I'd get my ass handed to me.
But yeah, I'm down, set it up.
Hey man, you wanna sig battle it out? Your SOTW entry this week vs. mine's (full size)? It'll be fun. =)
Didn't feel like getting any rage going. And it would have turned into that. :/

This application is a continuation and claims priority benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 09/823,877, entitled METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SIMULATING GAME ACCESSORIES, filed on 29 Mar. 2001, now U.S. Pat. No. 7,063,619 which application is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety, including all figures, tables, and claims.
The present invention relates to the field of telecommunications as it relates to remote apparatus for enabling game players present at remote locations to play a game over a communications link.
There are numerous known remote game systems in which players, present at various remote locations, can play a game by communicating coded information relating to the state of the game through a common communication network, such as a telephone line.
By way of a first example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,372,558 entitled "Remote Gaming Apparatus" and issued to Shimamoto et al. on Feb. 8, 1983, each player has a dedicated game apparatus for detecting and displaying the position of game pieces (i.e., chess pieces). Each dedicated gaming apparatus has communications hardware for transmitting and receiving over the phone system coded information relating to the position of the game pieces. In this manner, each dedicated gaming apparatus displays the current position of the game pieces as effected by both players.
The apparatus disclosed by '558 patent does not identify the players or enable the players to communicate with each other while playing the game. Further, not only must each player input their game moves, but they must also manually move game pieces on a game board.
By way of a second example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,186,471 entitled "Interactive Telephone Gaming System" and issued to Vancraeynest on Feb. 16, 1993, discloses a gaming apparatus for use with a telephone network which supports standard dual tone multi-frequency (DTMF) signals. One or more players use a modified telephone station to play a game with a network gaming apparatus by receiving a sequence of DTMF tones and replicating the same sequence DTMF tones by pressing tone keys that correspond to the received sequence of DTMF tones. Each tone key has a corresponding light emitting diode (LED) which illuminates in response to receiving a corresponding DTMF signal from the network gaming apparatus. The illumination of the LEDs provide visible cues to the player at the modified telephone station to assist the player in matching the auditory pattern of DTMF tones generated by the network gaming apparatus.
The apparatus disclosed by the '471 patent does not identify players, nor does it enable play or communications between two or more players.
By way of a third example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,273,288 entitled "Communication Terminal Used As A Game Machine" and issued to Teshima et al. on Dec. 28, 1993, discloses a communication terminal for playing a game with an opponent through a telephone line. The communication terminal comprises a push button type telephone connected parallel to the communication terminal so that a voice signal of the push button type telephone is simultaneously transmitted to the opponent with a PB signal and a position signal. Accordingly, it is possible to talk with an opponent during game play.
By way of a fourth example, U.S. Pat. No. 6,080,064 entitled "Device For Playing Games Via A Communications Network, And A Game System Using A Communications Network" and issued to Pieterse et al. on Jun. 27, 2000, discloses apparatus using a pointing device such as a joystick or the keys of a telephone set to generate DTMF pointing signals. Pieterse also discloses using the keys of a telephone set to transmit game instructions, such as "Fire", "Start", "Stop" and "Hold".
The apparatus disclosed by the '288 and '064 patents do not clearly identify and differentiate between players and their respective game moves, nor do they enable the display and identification of each player's moves on a modified keypad located at each of a plurality of communication terminals participating in game play.
Although known remote gaming systems succeed in providing entertainment to remotely located game players, they pose a problem in that they often require specialized apparatus, in addition to a telephone that shares a telephone line with the apparatus. Further, it is difficult to identify who made which move and whose turn it is, especially for a game played by a plurality of players.
Computer games, played via a server located in a telephone network or over the Internet, normally require the user to subscribe to a service and/or pay to play a game. For such games, it is difficult to set up a game with a known opponent. Often, game players are playing alone or against a computer. In other cases, players participating in game play do not know who their opponents are, and thus the personal interaction with friends and family members is lost. Further, such games do not allow parties having a conversation to spontaneously play a game by placing their communication devices in a game mode.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to incorporate a compact gaming system into a communication terminal, such that parties having a conversation can initiate game play without interfering with an ongoing conversation or having to connect additional equipment to their telephone lines.
It is a further object of the present invention to display at each terminal participating in a game, the identities of each player and to identify each player's game moves in a clear and compact manner.
In accordance with the principles of the present invention, the above and other objectives are realized in an apparatus and method for simultaneously indicating on each of a plurality of communication terminals, instructions transmitted by each terminal and the identity of the respective terminals that transmitted the instructions. Such a feature can be used to indicate the moves of parties playing a game over a telephone line. Once a party indicates a game move, the party is prohibited from making any additional moves until after the other party makes a move. The present invention can also be incorporated into wireless telephones (e.g., cellphones), walkie talkies, wireless toys and other types of transceivers.
More particularly, once a communications link (e.g., wired, wireless, etc.) is established between two or more parties, their terminals are placed in a game mode which activates inband signal detection circuitry located within the terminals. Multi-colored indicators (e.g., LEDs and/or LCDs) at each terminal are activated, their color being dependent upon the source of received instructions.
In a first embodiment of the invention to be described hereinafter, the telephone number of each player is displayed on a corresponding LCD. Additionally, one of a plurality of LEDs next to each LCD is illuminated in a color representing the player associated with the displayed telephone number. An LED blinking next to a particular player's displayed telephone number indicates that it is that player's turn to go.
In a second embodiment of the invention to be described hereinafter, player identification indicators may be incorporated into a touch tone keypad located on the terminals. The keypad's touch tone keys are modified such that each has two or more color coded LEDs incorporated within, each color representing a particular player's move. Thus, besides providing a means for dialing telephone numbers and transmitting DTMF tones, the touch tone keys can represent a game board and/or game accessory when the terminal is placed in a game mode. For example, a 3 by 3 matrix formed by touch tone keys numbered 1 through 9 on a touch-tone pad of a communication terminal may be modified to contain two different colored indicators which light up in accordance with a particular party's move. The 3 by 3 matrix can be used to play tic-tac-toe over a telephone line. The activation of three LEDs of the same color in a row, column or diagonal will cause those LEDs to blink on each terminal, signifying the end of the game. Of course, the game tic-tac-toe is an elementary game, and the invention could be used for numerous other games (e.g., battleship, checkers, chess, etc.) by expanding the functionality of the touch-tone pad. Also, the invention could be expanded to incorporate games played by more than two players.
In a third embodiment of the invention to be described hereinafter, the indicators are installed on a gaming board which is extended (e.g., a spring loaded gaming board) from the base of the terminal, or inserted into an auxiliary card slot on the terminal. The color of the indicators clearly identify which instructions were sent by each party.
In a fourth embodiment of the invention to be described hereinafter, the indicators may be incorporated into a keypad consisting of one or more liquid crystal displays (LCDs) or a touch panel which normally displays the symbols of a touch tone telephone and, when a game mode is activated, the symbols change to game status indicators (e.g., game pieces).
The present invention is an apparatus and method for simultaneously indicating on each of a plurality of communication terminals, game move selections transmitted by each terminal and the identity of the respective terminals and/or players that transmitted the game move selections. Further, the present invention tracks and indicates whose turn it is to input a game move selection. In the following detailed description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to one of ordinary skill in the art that these specific details need not be used to practice the present invention. In other instances, well known structures, interfaces, and processes have not been shown in detail in order not to unnecessarily obscure the present invention.

Dustin Hill has taken orange-colored pencil to paper and is gently shading in flames on an inked tattoo design. Hill's business partner, who goes by Mister Law, is bombastically hopping on his pogo stick a few feet away
Hill and Law are both in the interior of a building at least 70 years old, one that they found dilapidated eight months ago. Today, the building houses Hill and Law's business, the recently opened tattoo studio and art gallery space, 1942 Gallery and Tattoo, an olive-green painted building at 651 W. Broad St.
The tattooing section of the space takes up two brightly painted and fairly small rooms, leaving the gallery space to dominate. Track lighting illuminates cinderblock walls painted a muted seafoam blue; the smooth concrete floors are a dark coal color. The gallery does partly feel like it belongs in the 1940s, and that's not just a gimmick. Much of the design elements inside consist of salvaged materials, some dating back to the '40s or before.
With help from friends, Hill and Law completed nearly all of the restoration themselves ''World War II style,'' says Hill. They ripped old chicken feathers and wire from the bowels of the walls (apparently the building was once a chicken plant) and knocked down rotting walls with whatever tool was handy.
Adds Law, ''We were taking bent nails out of the wood that was here, and smashing them back into shape with a hammer.''
1942 Gallery and Tattoo opened recently on Broad Street.Dot Paul/Staff
So far, the gallery has hosted two shows. In June, the premier exhibition included the supple, humorous and hulking semi-mechanized figures in Michael Groves' paintings, iconoclastic mosaics by John Vegan and one meditative piece from Terry Rowlett. In July, Josh Shaddock's color-coded map arrangements and other puzzle-oriented works were on display. Law and Hill express an interest in displaying the work of any artist ''who's not a jerk,'' says Hill.
As tattoo artists, Law and Hill find themselves most interested in fringe material. Hill jokes that he likes ''the old, traditional stuff, because I can't draw,'' and Law says that he wants ''to do goofy stuff no one wants.''
The 1942 gallery feels like it absorbs Hill's quiet, traditional interests and Law's predilection for the curious, whether it be his own periodic performance art, dressed as a life-size brown rabbit, or cramming stuffed animals into jars (several of which decorate the tattoo space). The gallery's late hours, combined with Law and Hill's ultra-casual presentation, lend the place a practical and emotional accessibility.

Hi, when you want to log in and you forgot your password, the button can not be seen because it is behind the password field. How can i adjust that? Thanks for your time!
Best regards, AnitaNovember 13, 2012 at 6:24 pm #97096
Hi Anita,
Can we see the page you are talking about?
DevinNovember 14, 2012 at 7:55 pm #97097
Hi Devin, here is the attachement. The orange button when you forgot your password disappears behind an other field..
Regards, AnitaNovember 15, 2012 at 6:34 am #97098
Try to add following css code to css/custom.css:
form.login .form-row {
width: 70%;
Best regards,
PeterNovember 15, 2012 at 9:11 pm #97099
Hi Peter,
It looks like:
Can you change the second field to the right?
Thanks and regards, AnitaNovember 16, 2012 at 7:32 pm #97100
Hi Anita,
Try adding the following CSS to your Quick CSS (located under the Styling Tab in the theme options) or the custom.css file in the css folder of your theme files:
#top form.login .form-row.form-row-last {
float: left;
DevinNovember 16, 2012 at 9:36 pm #97101
Hi Devin,
Sorry, doesn't work. Nothing changed… Any other ideas?
Regards, AnitaNovember 18, 2012 at 4:32 am #97102
Hi Anita,
Try to add this code in Quick CSS or custom.css:
.form-row {
padding: 0;
form.login .form-row {
width: 100%;
.register .form-row label {
font-size: 10px;
or, if the code above doesn't work, try this one instead:
.form-row {
padding: 0 !important;
form.login .form-row {
width: 100% !important;
.register .form-row label {
font-size: 10px !important;
Hope this helps. :)
IsmaelNovember 21, 2012 at 1:17 pm #97103
Hi Ismael, unfortunately both codes aren't working in Chrome:-(
Regards, AnitaNovember 22, 2012 at 4:00 am #97104
Hi Anita,
Kindly open wp-content/themes/abundance/woocommerce-config/woocommerce-mod.css and find this line of code:
.form-row{overflow:hidden;zoom:1;padding:3px;margin:0 0 6px;}
and replace it with:
.form-row{overflow:hidden;zoom:1;padding:0;margin:0 0 6px;}
Hope this helps. :)
IsmaelNovember 27, 2012 at 4:10 pm #97105
Hi Ismael.
Sorry, is not working either. Do you have anything else you can think of?
Thanks a lot,
Regards, AnitaNovember 29, 2012 at 12:28 am #97106
Hi Anita,
I believe the issue stems from some css in your custom.css file. Specifically:
.container .clear {
clear: none;
Removing that should put the form button properly below the other content. Furthermore, changing the form rows to 100% width for just those pages will fix the weird floating issue it looks like you've been trying to fix because of the long form titles:
#top.page-id-741 .form-row-first,#top.page-id-741 .form-row-last {
width: 100%;
That will ONLY effect that specific page so there won't be any other width extension on other forms.
The topic 'forgot password button behind password field' is closed to new replies.

Global Foundries' big bet takes shape in upstate New York
Post a comment
MALTA, N.Y. It's rare these days in the semiconductor industry to witness the unfolding of a project on a grand scale. Based on what has been proposed so far, the Global Foundries project backed by Advanced Micro Devices and its partner is precisely that.
"We want to be the first truly global semiconductor foundry," said Global Foundries CEO Global Doug Grose at a recent event here, where a ground-breaking ceremony will be held in July.
Global Foundries has committed up to $6 billion to develop a new fab to produce chips for AMD and new customers. AMD and partner, Abu Dhabi-backed Advanced Technology Investment Co. (ATIC). "This money is for a five- to seven-year stretch. Our investors [are] in this for the long haul," said Grose.
According to Jim McGregor, chief technology strategist at market researcher In-Stat, "Everything for the future depends on GlobalFoundries' ability to land new customers. Unfortunately, I can't predict that."
Jim Doran, senior vice president and general manager of AMD's Dresden, Germany, operation, said Global Foundries will use a Sunnyvale, Calif., facility for technology development and producing process design kits. The U.S. site also will be used for designing intellectual property and chip testing and validation.
Global Foundries also is engaged with neighbors here like the IBM Alliance on submicron research and development.
Global Foundries' 300-mm Fab 1 in Dresden includes a Module 1 used for 45-nm silicon-on-insulator (SOI) chips; Module 2 is used for 32-nm and beyond bulk CMOS process technology. Both modules are expected to operate at 25,000 monthly wafer starts at full capacity. Module 2 production will ramp up in late 2009.
The $4.5 billion Fab 2, a 300-mm manufacturing facility in Saratoga County, N.Y., is expected to come online in 2012 with 35,000 wafer starts per month at full capacity. Fab 2 is expected to create more than 1,400 jobs along with about 5,000 spin-off jobs.

Give The Boot(s) For The Holiday
Winter is (almost) officially here and that might mean that you are wading through drifts of snow or wearing skirts and tank tops, depending on which State you live in. Regardless of the weather, I think that we can all agree that boots are an essential part of our winter wardrobe, yes?
I have a pair of knee-high black boots that I've worn almost daily for a few years now. A few months ago I bought a pair of mid-calf ankle boots and they've become my new favorites. They are great (and not too hot) when wearing jeans and they are super cute when wearing a dress and tights. I wear them almost every day and recommend them to everyone who will listen.
Boots! Boots for everyone!
If you are looking for a great gift for a woman in your life, I suggest you get them a great pair of (cute) boots. They'll love you for it.
Are you a fan of boots? Do you have a favorite pair? Do you like knee-high or mid-calf boots?
I've never been a fan of boots for myself. They look cute on other people but I just can't seem to get into that style.
I tried to be a fan of boots but sadly my legs and just too chunky for them. and I dislike the ankel boots.
I love boots, I have these square toed, chunky heel black boots I love.
I wear knee-high boots almost every day with a dress or a skirt to work.
I need a new pair of boots - the ones pictured here are super cute!
I have a $10 gift certificate to the only shoe store in town. I really need to go see what they have. None of my boots fit well (my feet grew after having my boys) and we have over 1.5 feet of snow on the ground!
I'm not a huge fan of boots. I have one pair for snow and one dressy pair with heels.
Quoting natesmom1228:
No I am not a fan of boots. I prefer heels.
Not really a huge fan- and I do not live in a location that requires boots for daily winter use.

New Ellsworth veterinarian makes career of interest in animals
The newest veterinarian at Pierce Veterinary Clinic really isn't new to the clinic at all.
Jennifer Belz, DVM, mentored with owner Frank During, DVM, and Lisa Hansen, DVM, when she was an undergraduate student at UW-River Falls. Belz said Wednesday, although she joined the clinic as a veterinarian this spring, their association dates to the early 2000s and continued while she was in veterinary school.
"I did ride-alongs with them," she said.

Ards want to be playing with their indoor hockey destiny in their own hands in Europe next season but to do that they first have to retain their All-Ireland title.
The Ulster Championship is a stepping stone to achieving a place in the national series but, going into tonight's final round of games, Ards are by no means guaranteed a place in the play-offs.
The bottom line is that they will almost certainly have to beat Lurgan in the final match of the local competition tonight at the Queen's PE Centre.
That certainly won't be easy with Lucy McKee in such sparkling form in front of goal as the Lurgan striker hit the net 10 times in just four games over the weekend at the same venue.
Lurgan lost their opening game to the Ulster Elks who are almost certain to finish either first or second but then the Co Armagh side won three out of three on Sunday.
The top two finishers progress to the national trophy tournament in Dublin in 2013 but in the interim at least Ards have this season's European adventure to look foward to.
That was their reward for winning the national crown earlier this year and a massive fundraising drove is in full swing with the trip to Portugal just a matter of weeks away.
It's likely the players will still have to chip in but Ards are doing everything they can to keep the cost of the trip to a minimum although it hasn't been easy in the current economic climate.
"It's been a case of 'so far so good at this stage and we recently completed an indoor cycling challenge in Ards Shopping Centre 'Pedaling for Pennies' from which we raised over £700," Ards captain Naomi Elliott explained.
"We also have a number of events in the diary for the New Year including bag packing at a local supermarket, a cinema night and night at the races.
"But it is tough as you end up asking the same people to support you which becomes difficult, that is, family and friends.
"Although we are raising as much as possible the girls will still have to foot the majority of the bill themselves, this was something we all understood before we agreed to go to Lisbon."

The Friday Club were treated to an Old Time Music Hall performed by about 20 of their own members.
The Master of Ceremonies was resplendent in formal dress and told funny stories in the intervals between acts. The chorus sang a number of well known songs and there were comedy acts, including The Supremos, drag artistes who danced and mimed to the song "Baby Love" by the Supremes.
Flanaghan and Allen came to life again with a rendition of Underneath The Arches.
Spokesman Alan White said: "The audience were enraptured and frequently convulsed with laughter. It was a superb show and the cast deserved our congratulations."

"Life Is About the People You Meet, and the Things You Create with Them"
Be a cyclist is somehow a bit overrated now. Though I'm not riding my small bike, Coro, to commute everywhere, but still I'm getting emotional with beautiful video about people on a bike. This Holstee Manifesto: Lifecycle Video (via swissmiss) reminds me of how hard I am trying to please everybody, to understand their circumstances, not to easily snapped at them, or simply blame them for their music taste (it's so hard not to do it, worst taste in music is irreparable). I should tell myself I shouldn't do that all the time. Blame it on watermelon ring.

It is supposed to be posted a month ago. I got this crappy experience with wedding souvenir vendor, I got to work it out halfway. Re-sewing and ironing for almost 1000 pieces. Darn you, you took my daily drawing moments for weeks. And no, I'm not the one who's getting married, it's my high school best friend.

Female • 17 years old • Muskoka, Canada
I spent the summer before my final year of high school working in the kitchen at a summer camp. It was a chance for me to get away from the city, to take in the wilderness of cottage country in Muskoka.
Being a girl from a much smaller city than the rest of the Toronto staff, I must have stuck out like a sore thumb. Every one of those counselors had known each other since they were kids, so I felt like a poseur. I was the outsider and I think they felt that I was dangerous. I guess I ended up being just that. Not that I regret anything.
The first week of working there, a shy and nervous boy approached me in the kitchen and said hello. For the first week of camp, he came up to me every night at the end of our shift, and asked me to walk with him along the beach. Each time, I turned him down. He was awkward, inexperienced, but very sweet. It wasn't until the night we were dragged out to a local bar by our catering manager, that we had the chance to flirt, get tipsy and kiss a little.
Over the next couple of weeks we would steal looks at each other during shifts, flirting with our eyes and gesturing towards the produce fridge, where we would find excuses to look for things and end up in a hot mess inside.
Illustration by Thomas Pitilli
Every night after work, we would climb to the top of the massive hill that overlooked the camp, get naked and sweaty, and do everything except for the deed. He kept insisting on it, and I kept denying it because I was the romantic thinker who needed just the right moment and mood.
By mid-summer, it was hot and we were on the brink of losing our virginity together. The oral was great and we proved to be compatible both personality-wise and sexually. It wasn't until one gorgeous evening before sunset that it became apparent that it was about to happen. We both finished our shift and were walking back to the cabin that was shared by ten of us (each with our own separate rooms). Suddenly, one of our co-workers came storming down the path muttering some profanities, as we were just sitting down at our picnic table outside. He must have had a really bad shift because his arms were flailing like windmills and he was in a hurry. In the heat of the moment, he noticed us, took off one of his shoes and threw it onto the roof of the cabin. Both the boy and I looked at each other and started to laugh uncontrollably until we cried. Our co-worker then stopped and looked at us, proud that he could make us laugh so hard; then he continued with his act, like it was the circus and it was his job to entertain us. He then grabbed a ladder and climbed the roof to grab his shoe, at which point, I wandered off to grab something inside the cabin. I then ran out, grabbed the boy's hand and lead him down to the beach.
It was time and I was feeling the moment. The sun was now escaping the horizon and we were in one of the most beautiful places in Canada. We undressed each other and he sat me down on the edge of a sailboat that was parked on the beach and went down on me. I moaned as he licked me, and as he played with my breasts. I grabbed his hair and brought his head up to meet mine, kissed him and told him to grab the condom from my shorts. He placed it carefully and entered me gently. He thrust just enough for me to squeal a bit. He continued to push and pull into me and even brought my legs up to my chest to enter me deeply. I was burying my face into his chest, while kissing his neck, trying to contain my sounds of delight and pain (after all, it was a public beach). Like a truly inexperienced virgin, his climax was quite dramatic and made me laugh to myself at how we must have looked, on this boat, naked under the moonlight. We finished up and he collapsed in my arms. We embraced and giggled for the next few minutes. It really happened, I thought to myself. We then got dressed and walked back to the camp, arms around each other, thinking how lucky we were to have had such a great first time together.

I've ordered some of the Bulle Multicam Molle at 2pm, at 2.20pm I received a notification that it had been shipped with also had a link to a picture of the items I've ordered as they were packed. The Package arived at my door early next day (I did not pay for express). Packaging was a strong plastic bag and it contained a receipt, returns form, a flyer and my stuff. The Multicam Molle is excelent and I especially like the open mag pouches. Thanks Flecktarn, Job well done!

Husband has the flu and has been asking—okay, more like pleading in between feeble coughs—for cup after cup of this tea. So much so that our 20g bag was cleaned out and we've only had it for a couple days! Thus, I went to the store and purchased a 100g tin… but only got 2 jellybeans in the whole tin! Sadness. Lots of candied pineapple though.
