I'm used to playing against Chelsea... on FIFA! Liverpool kid Brad Smith on debut chance
LIVERPOOL kid Brad Smith has experience of playing against the Premier League big boys - but only on FIFA.
The 19-year-old Academy rookie made his debut off the bench against Chelsea last month.
Smith was stunned when he got his chance and couldn't stop Liverpool going down to a 2-1 defeat, despite his PlayStation past.
He said: "I was shocked when the gaffer told me that I was coming on. I was so excited and nervous at the same time.
"When I got on, it was so loud and the pace of the game was unbelievably fast. I was honoured to make my debut.
"The manager said: 'You're coming on, I'm going to put you on the left wing. I want you to stay wide and use your pace to get down the wing, and hopefully impact on the game.'
"Each team you play for, there are more fans and it's more public. The pace of the game is a lot different at all levels.
"I go home and play with these players on FIFA, then I'm standing next to them on the pitch - it's crazy. All of the players congratulated me on my debut."
A Premier League debut was an remarkable conclusion to a difficult period for Smith, who spent 10 months on the sidelines with an anterior cruciate ligament injury.
He added: "My aim is to play regular football and hopefully go up to Melwood full-time, train there and learn more.
"Hopefully I'll get into a few first-team matchday squads."

Hired a Garmin 800 to take me from Amsterdam to Milan for a charity cycle in August. The unit arrived on time and with some of the maps already loaded free of charge. No problems with uploading the patches I required to complete my route. Got me all the way there with no problems and then posted back again with no issues what so ever. Would not hesitate in hiring again.

Brian O'Driscoll: New boys can sparkle
BRIAN O'DRISCOLL predicts that Ireland's new caps Paddy Jackson and Luke Marshall will set Murrayfield alight in today's clash with Scotland.
"I don't envisage either of them freezing. They're going to be big-game players."
The 21-year-old Ulster backs impressed in last autumn's international against Fiji and O'Driscoll said: "The proof will be in the pudding when they get out there, but they're confident guys.
"I don't envisage either of them freezing. They're going to be big-game players."
Ireland are missing five of the team that pushed England close in the 12-6 defeat in Dublin. Jackson takes the No 10 spot ahead of the 127-times capped but off-form Ronan O'Gara who is on the bench.
Scotland skipper Kelly Brown said: "We need to get fast ball out to the back three, because Ireland are very good at the 'choke tackle', as it's called."

The IEEE in Boston are hosting a series of six FPGA Seminars starting on Thursday 3rd November, 2005.
As you may recall (if you've been paying attention), yesterday I said that henceforth we were going to also cover Structured ASICs on PLDesignline.com. Good grief – if I had a coconut for everyone who had emailed me saying What a good idea, … well, I would certainly have a lot of coconuts!
But we digress. The hot news off the printing presses is that the IEEE in Boston are hosting a series of six 2-hour FPGA Seminars. The first is on Thursday the 3rd of November, and they've asked yours truly (that would be me) to give the keynote presentation (my mom is going to be so proud!). Watch this space for more details. Until next time, have a good one!

HBO content can be tough to get hold of. You need a subscription to HBO for he HBO GO app to matter much, and that doesn't come without heavy caveats from the cable company. For US customers, the Play Store was a source for content, as we could readily purchase shows, starting at $2.99. Starting today, the UK Play Store will also have HBO content, with no interruption on availability.
From Game of Thrones to Boardwalk Empire, all the HBO content from the US Play Store is available. The pricing is similar to purchasing the seasons on Blu Ray or DVD, saving your he trouble of dealing with hard copies. Once you purchase it, it's yours forever, and always available.
Play Movies & TV should be loaded onto your device, so keep that in mind when purchasing content. YouTube integration of TV shows is spotty, so we can't recommend that you simply access purchased content that way. Most devices probably have Play Movies & TV already, but just keep that in mind when you start snatching up episodes of True Blood.
We only wish the Chromecast was widely available, as it would be a great workaround for UK customers who would rather watch on the big screen. For those on the go, this is still a great option, and it makes the Nexus 7 that much more useful this holiday season.

Defending against large, distributed Denial-of-Service attacks is challenging, with large changes to the network core or to end-hosts often suggested. To make matters worse, spoofing adds to the difficulty, since defenses must resist attempts to trigger filtering of other people's traffic. Further, any solution has to provide incentives for deployment, or it will never see the light of day. We present a simple and effective architectural defense against distributed DoS attacks that requires no changes to the end-hosts, minimal changes to the network core, is robust to spoofing, provides incentives for initial deployment, and can be built with off-the-shelf hardware.
Defense against DoS attacks is definitely an important practical problem given the fact that potential attackers may control botnets with hundreds of thousands of machines. This paper adopts the approach of marking IP traffic close at the source, which then gets encapsulated and tunneled to a decapsulator near the destination. A server under attack can ask the decapsulator to suppress certain traffic destined to that server:
In this case, the decapsulator determines the "entry point" encapsulator from which the unwanted traffic is coming and asks the encapsulator to filter the unwanted traffic. This approach has the advantage that the en- and decapsulation boxes are deployed at the edge of the network, not requiring any changes to the core network. The paper presents performance results showing that off-the-shelf HW is sufficient to perform en-/decapsulation at a speed of hundreds of Mbit/sec, which means that requiring packet rewrites (at least at the edge) is not a show-stopper any more.
However, efficient en-/decapsulation is only one piece of a successful DoS defense system. Such a system also critically relies on securely establishing the decapsulator-to-destination mapping and on the filtering mechanism to work reliably. Getting these functions deployed in a robust, large-scale fashion seems to be a major hurdle that limits the chances for this approach to get widely deployed. There exists already made a number of proposals for DoS defense systems as well as some commercial systems that have been successfully deployed. As the reviewers observed, this paper does not clearly state why the approach proposed is superior other DoS defense systems. Dismissing commercial systems on the basis they require "special boxes" does not convince given the fact that the solution proposed here requires the deployment of en-/decapsulator boxes.

(Adds quote, background)
WASHINGTON, Oct 14 (Reuters) - The U.S. International Trade Commission said on Tuesday that imports of steel reinforcing bar from Mexico and Turkey put U.S. producers at risk, clearing the way for import duties on the goods.
ITC commissioners voted unanimously in favor of the complaint brought by Nucor Corp, Byer Steel, Cascade Steel, Commercial Metals Co and Gerdau Long Products North America.
The U.S. Commerce Department has set anti-dumping duties as high as 66.7 percent on Mexican reinforcing bar, used to strengthen concrete, and anti-subsidy duties of up to 1.25 percent for Turkey.
The companies complained that a doubling in cheap, subsidized imports between 2010 and 2012 endangered a recovery in the U.S. industry, which was hard hit by a collapse in construction during the recession.
"We are pleased with the ITC decision, which confirms that these Turkish and Mexican imports have had a devastating and injurious impacct on the U.S. industry," said attorney Alan Price of Wiley Rein, which is representing the U.S. industry.
Lawyers for the foreign firms argued that most imports were aimed at small-scale projects, while U.S. rebar was concentrated in large-scale construction like roads and bridges, where U.S. mills dominate the market and aggressively compete on price.
Mexico's Grupo Acerero SA de CV and Grupo Simec face duties of 66.7 percent and other producers, including Deacero SAPI de CV, 20.58 percent.
The decision can be appealed. (Reporting by Krista Hughes; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama and Jonathan Oatis)

Visual Arts Department to Host Acclaimed Photographer
OGDEN , Utah – Internationally acclaimed photographer Curtis Mann will speak at Weber State University, Jan. 20 at 7 p.m.
Mann will show images of his photography and discuss his work in the Kimball Visual Arts Center Lindquist Lecture Hall. The lecture is free and open to the public.
Born in 1979 in Dayton, Ohio, Mann lives and works in Chicago. In the past few years he has exhibited his work in Chicago, Antwerp, Brussels, and Basel. This past year it was included in the prestigious 2010 Whitney Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. A paragraph from the Whitney Exhibition describes his work.
Curtis Mann's photographs contain fragments of scenes that are partially erased and obscured. Mann's process draws attention to the artifice of the photographic medium by demonstrating the malleability of images. He begins by culling images of strife and conflict in various international locations from photosharing websites such as Flickr and then has prints made. Once he has the prints in hand he covers portions of the photographs with a protective varnish and pours bleach over each one, stripping away areas not coated with varnish.
This talk is made possible through funds from the Browning Lead Trust, and WSU's Telitha E. Lindquist College of Arts & Humanities.

Question: Hi, I have to replace my roof (sooner then later). Should I pay cash from a money market savings account, or take out a loan? Thank you, please get back to me rather sooner then later :) Gabriele, St. Paul, MN.
Answer: This is really a money management question. The baseline answer is pay for the home improvement with cash from savings. This way, you don't take on any debt. Plus, the interest rate you're getting on your savings is probably a paltry sum anyway.
However, there may be some good financial reasons for you to hoard savings right now. If that's the case, then by all means take out a loan. The best loan is probably a home equity loan. It's ideal for a lump sum payment such as a new roof, and you're preserving the value of your home. The rate of interest is fixed, which makes it easy to plan. You could take out a home equity line of credit, but the interest rate is variable. It's a loan option best tapped for projects that are done in batches or over a long period of time.

By DAVID GREEN
It's not really a homecoming when nationally-known author Glenn Stout comes to Morenci March 22, but it might seem that way to him.
He remembers spending time at his grandmother's house on Gorham Street when he was a kid and playing at Wakefield Park.
His cousin Kelley Burrow is very familiar with that house because that's where she now lives.
"My connection to Morenci is through my grandmother Elizabeth (Stout) Clark," Glenn said, "who was married to Earl Clark after my grandfather Glenn Stout died."
Earl Clark was known as the trainer of Dr. James Blanchard's racing horses, and he had a horse—Old Bess—in the back yard of the Gorham Street house, Kelley said.
"We used to visit a lot when we were kids," Glenn said. "I remember going to the five and dime, the Rex Theater and the park, where there used to be this terrific playground merry-go-around."
Lots of former Morenci children remember that push/pull merry-go-round.
"Every time we came for a visit, we would ask if we could go to the park," Kelley said.
She grew up in the Sand Creek area while Glenn's family lived near Columbus, so the cousins didn't get together all that often.
She figures it's been about 10 years since she's seen Glenn and it must be at least 25 years since he's been in Morenci. He now lives on the Vermont side of Lake Champlain.
She recently asked her cousin if he would make an author visit at Stair Public Library and he agreed. He decided he could visit relatives on the way here to make the trip even more worthwhile.
It's more than just an evening talk at the library that Kelley has in store for him.
"We made him a full schedule," she said.
On Friday, March 23, he will meet with Heather Walker's AP English class at the high school, then talk with fifth and sixth grade students at the middle school. During lunch he'll get together with Sally Kruger's writers group before joining seventh and eighth grade classes in the afternoon.
"I'll be talking about my career and trying to motivate them about reading and writing by explaining that writing isn't done by 'other people' but by people just like themselves," Glenn said. "I'll try to use examples from my own life and career to underscore that point. I think reading is transformative, something that can and does change your life, no matter what you want to do in the future."
Glenn has worked as a full-time writer since 1993 and he has now written, ghostwritten or edited more than 80 books. He won honors for his book "Fenway 1912" about the early days of Boston's Fenway Park and also for his "Good Sports" series for juvenile readers.
Although many of Stout's books focus on baseball, he has also written about the first woman to swim the English Channel and edited a book about Tiger Woods. He also wrote an account of the clean-up of the World Trade Center site following 9/11. His articles have appeared in a wide range of magazines.
Kelley is counting down the days until her cousin arrives.
"I'm so excited I can hardly wait," she said, "and he's excited to be coming."
She's hoping for the arrival of a few more cousins to show up for the library talk and that will make Glenn's visit even more of a bonus.
"We just don't see each other anymore," she said.
Everyone is invited to the family reunion when Glenn's program gets underway at 7 p.m. March 22, even if you never had the thrill of riding the old merry-go-round.

Sooner or later, the focus was going to get around to Sidney Crosby not scoring. It had too.
As well as Crosby was competing in the Stanley Cup final away from the puck - he and Henrik Zetterberg did an excellent job of knocking each other around for most of three games - in the end, the Pittsburgh Penguins needed some goals from Sid The Kid.
He knew it. They knew it. Crosby delivered, and now, suddenly, the Stanley Cup final is tied 2-2, with the momentum shifting towards Pittsburgh, as the series heads back to Detroit for Saturday's fifth game.
On a night when Evgeni Malkin stole the show offensively for the Penguins again, Crosby did his part as well.
In a three-goal second-period that turned the game around, Malkin set up Crosby for the Penguins' second-period go-ahead goal and then Crosby set up Tyler Kennedy for the insurance goal.
Pittsburgh had all the energy - young legs have a way of managing that. Detroit looked gassed. A longer-than-anticipated series against the Chicago Blackhawks, along with Pavel Datsyuk's ongoing absence, and all those 30-something entries on their birth certificates have made the defensively efficient Red Wings look like mere mortals, capable of egregious turnovers, just like everybody else in the NHL, when the pressure ramps up.
This was what Red Wings coach Mike Babcock was concerned about before the start of the series - that the tight turnaround in the scheduling would negatively impact his team. Detroit won the first two anyway, on home ice, but the schedule caught up to them on the road. The Red Wings just don't turn the puck over this many times. Their poise usually wins the day.
But Malkin and Crosby are, day-by-day, growing into their roles as young stars, flexing their muscles, finding ways to win. Crosby looked as if his inability to get a puck past Chris Osgood in the first three games was frustrating him at times, but he looked fine last night - staying with it, creating space for himself, whether he was playing against Zetterberg or not, in a nice compact 19-and-a-half minutes of work.
"Any time they're not going in, you just have to stick with it," said Crosby. "You don't want to change a lot. You just have to focus on getting chances. It's nice to see one go in."
Penguins' coach Dan Bylsma summed up Crosby's contributions this way: "His best skill is the skill to want to get better, the drive to get better, looking for ways to get better.
"You don't have to be around him long to see that him do that, one way or another every day - whether it's video or doing small little skill drills in practice or trying to recreate scenarios that he's going to see."
One of those scenarios came in the second period, after Jordan Staal's shorthanded goal tied the game at 2-2. Malkin and Crosby went in on a two-on-one. The Red Wings' Jonathan Ericsson went down to block Malkin's cross-ice pass and succeeded - for a second. But Malkin stuck with the play, collected the loose puck and slid it across to Crosby, who braked at just the right time, to get it on his forehand and tap it past Osgood.
Staal's goal woke up the crowd; Crosby's goal - and his subsequent play to set up Kennedy for the Penguins' fourth of the night - brought them all the way back in.
According to Babcock, Staal's shorthanded goal set his team back. "You talk about our penalty-killing (struggles)," said Babcock. "I really think our power-play sucked the energy right out of our team. They got energy from that shorthanded goal. They were on top of us - and we turned the puck over, in the next five minutes, I would say enough for a whole game."
Bylsma has only coached Crosby and Malkin for a short time, after taking over behind the Penguins bench in mid-season, but he said something the other day that was pertinent again last night. Only a handful of NHL players have the talent to make something out of nothing, and his team boasts two of them.
"When (Crosby) was younger, they had to tell him to stay away from the rink for a day when he needed a rest - because he always wanted to come and do more and do more," said Bylsma.
"He does that every day. That's the beauty of what he brings to our team and to the game. He isn't stopping until he knows he's the best he can be - and that ain't ever going to happen. It's going to be a continual process for him."
The process continued for Crosby in Game 4, where he and Malkin were factors in the game offensively and goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury turned in his steadiest game performance, after giving up a series of odd goals in the first two games. Now with the series tied 2-2, this is as close as Crosby's ever been to a Stanley Cup championship.
"When (Crosby's) goal went in tonight, my first thought was, 'Now you guys won't ask me the question,' " said Bylsma. "We know how well he's played. We know he's had scoring chances. We know he's been in and around the net the way he often is in these playoffs.
"To get the assist in Game 3; to get on the board again tonight, those are important. You need confidence. You need results. If people keep questioning you, it wears on you. Tonight was just an answer for him."Report Typo/Error

Comprehensive surveillance security systems have become an inalienable part of businesses in the present era. The same applies for every home. The world of surveillance and security cameras is now increasingly turning to wireless due to the unsurpassed convenience it offers. With the need for cameras in many locations becoming the need of the hour, it is easier to take complete advantage of the wireless models in security cameras.
A complete surveillance system for an office can be effectively met through wireless security cameras. With lesser installation woes, wireless security cameras are the ideal choice for your home. Inaccessible locations can be covered through the use of an effective surveillance system that includes wireless security cameras.
The transmitted footage can be secured from hacking through the use of appropriate technology such as FHSS. This ensures that the transmission is absolutely secure over a wireless surveillance system.
A home that needs to be secured need not necessarily have wires dangling everywhere. A simple, effective wireless surveillance system will be effective. The exposure to risk of damage is reduced. A complete security system incorporating advanced wireless surveillance cameras can be complemented through remote monitoring from mobile devices.

Request for Removal from National Register of Historic Places
Reason for Removal:
The property has ceased to meet the criteria for listing because the qualities which caused it to be originally listed have been lost or destroyed (36 CFR 60.15(a)).
Dates and Nature of Change: Burned 14 February 1991
When originally listed on 10 March 1988, the property retained all seven types of integrity (location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association). Burning of the lodge resulted in a total loss of the building's integrity of design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling and association. The integrity of the location is somewhat more intact. Because the significance of the resource was based on its association with the settlers of Hubbard Township and their efforts to provide fraternal and community services to the local residents at the turn of the century, it is the staff opinion that the degree of the loss of integrity has caused the resource to lose its eligibility.

-When using the fill tool I notice there is an annoying small but dark outline around the layer that I can't remove.
-I use precise measurements when using pixelmator, including using the rotation in the gradient fill tool, the problem is if I want it to be exactly 1° above the snapping points but it won't let me, I can only go to 5° lower or higher than the snapping points (0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, etc.)
-3D image rotation. I like to change labels of aircraft and things along those lines, but it is very hard to stick a new logo onto an aircraft and make it look good because there is just the 2D logo on a 3D photo and it won't blend well.
-Custom rotation text input. If I want to rotate an item in Pixelmator it is either using two fingers or the slider wheel, I would much prefer to type in the angle of an image, or even using the same system used for text sizes.

Cespedes expected to make arrival soon
Cespedes expected to make arrival soon
There's a strong possibility that Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes will make his highly-anticipated arrival at A's camp by weekend's end, nearly three weeks after news broke of his four-year, $36 million contract.
"There's no reason not to think he won't be here very soon," A's general manager Billy Beane said Wednesday.
Cespedes, who has been living in the Dominican Republic after defecting from Cuba last year, has been waiting to obtain a work visa before joining the A's and undergoing a physical, at which point his deal will finally be deemed official.
It appears his visa paperwork is being processed without any issues, and that the three-week waiting period is rather normal. Still, Cespedes will have missed at least two weeks of camp by the time he reports.
It was thought that the A's, who open Cactus League play Friday against the Mariners, would immediately pencil Cespedes into an everyday outfield spot, likely center. But considering the time he's been away from the team, it's becoming more of a possibility that he may start the season at the Triple-A level.

Abstract—Unicast_V is a progressive, misrouting algorithm for packet or virtual cut-through networks. A progressive protocol forwards a message at an intermediate node if a nonfaulty profitable link is available and waits, deroutes, or aborts otherwise. A misrouting protocol uses both profitable and nonprofitable links at each node; thus, a message can move farther away from its destination at some steps. Unicast_V is simple for hardware implementation, requires a very small message overhead, and makes routing decisions by local failure information only. However, it is claimed to be partially adaptive and to be able to tolerate static faults in hypercubes only. In this paper, we uncover some new features of Unicast_V: 1) It is fully-adaptive, 2) it also applies to meshes and tori, and 3) it can tolerate dynamic faults by careful implementation. In addition, we also provide bounds on the performance of the algorithm.

Midsummer Lament: No Hope For the Red Sox at the All-Star Break
As the Red Sox rolled into the All-Star break one year ago – following a game in Oakland where Brandon Workman took a no-hitter into the the seventh inning, only to watch Boston fall to the A's in extra innings, 3-2 – they were 58-39, in first place in the American League East, and 2 1/2 games up on the second-place Tampa Bay Rays.
You're forgiven if all that seems too foreign to comprehend. As the 2014 Red Sox hit the same juncture this time around, with only Jon Lester and Koji Uehara headed to Minnesota for All-Star festivities, the last-place Red Sox are a mere 42-52, 10 games under .500, and a remarkable 16 wins off from last year's midseason break total. According to FanGraphs, they're on pace for a 77-85 campaign to follow up their World Series title.
A.J. Pierzynski, Ryan Roberts, and Grady Sizemore have all come and gone, leaving a trail of indifference in their wake. It is the fact that they were here in the first place that speaks to one of two fatal flaws in the 2014 Red Sox; They were poorly constructed, with Ben Cherington relying on a lineup with a reclamation project replacing Jacoby Ellsbury's high octane presence and a catcher who spits in the face of your organizational philosophy at the plate.
"Young players we believe in need to be given an opportunity," Cherington said last week. "But we can always learn how to do that from our experience. And ultimately, based on the team's record, I didn't do a good enough job finding – to this point, anyway – the right mix. That's not particular to any one player or any one position. It hasn't worked in the aggregate, so we have to learn from it and get better."
The other flaw can be debated. Is it Shane Victorino's lost season? Dustin Pedroia's descent into becoming Spike Owen? Daniel Nava's inability to figure out the season started in April? Clay Buchholz's barf-tastic start to the season? Boston's ridiculous assertion that Stephen Drew would be a good addition in order to provide stability at shortstop?
If not for David Ortiz's heroics last October, the Red Sox' now-laughable inability to score runs would have simply been an extension from a World Series in which Boston bats seemed to give a free preview of what to expect in 2014. It only becomes more remarkable to consider what the Red Sox did in 2013 every passing day. Imagine the looks on our grandfathers' faces when they learned that group won the World Series that evaded their rooting interests for decades.
No franchise in baseball history has ever gone from worst to first back to worst again. Ladies and gentlemen, your 2014 Boston Red Sox.
Here we stand, at the Major League Baseball All-Star break, a week of re-assessment for most teams chasing the division or a wild card spot. In Boston, it's all but over, barring a Morgan Magic type streak to open the second half. Boston won a whopping three in a row after saying goodbye to Pierzynski last week and it was treated like the beginning of the run in some circles. This is what it's become. Three-game winning streaks are the new game-changer.
But what's most frustrating about these 2014 Red Sox: Only Atlanta and San Diego have scored fewer runs in baseball this season. But Boston's pitching staff remains championship-caliber. One needs only to look at the case of Jake Peavy to sum up what has inflicted Boston all year. No shock that Peavy took the loss Saturday in Houston, despite allowing three runs over seven innings of work. It is the fifth time in his last six starts that he's allowed three or fewer runs. He's 0-4 over that stretch, 1-8 overall this season.
Jon Lester and John Lackey could both be knocking on the doors of 20-win seasons and the Boston bullpen has once again been the most dependable in the American League. The Red Sox have only used 17 pitchers all season, and only Alex Wilson and Tommy Layne were cameo appearances. That speaks greatly to the staff's dependability and the faith that manager John Farrell has in certain guys. Even Mujica, I guess.
If they could hit a lick, just how good might the 2014 Red Sox actually be?
Instead of looking for a difference-making bat though, the Red Sox went out and signed Drew for $10 million, and hasn't it all worked out swimmingly?
If "This is our $%&*%% city" was the rallying cry a year ago, this time around it's more "Bad moves. Bad luck. Bad news." Farrell will be managing the AL squad for a home-field advantage in the World Series for somebody else. You're welcome, Oakland or Detroit.
Not here. The Red Sox are done, and the All-Star break is all of a sudden a lot different.

That is a great rifle and a wonderful heirloom you have inherited.
I wouldn't do a thing to it except preserve it. You can reach out
and buy a collector grade rifle anytime you want, but you could
never, ever get that rifle back again once you fussed with it.
Someday you would surely regret it.
Hopefully you will get a buck with it and follow the tradition.
Thanks for showing it off. This type of family rifle is my favorite !

Thank you, I have shot it some, after doing some searching, it appears to be a low numbered model? considered 'dangerous'? I guess itll be a wall hangar but you are right, probably better as is, to me.

"t appears to be a low numbered model? considered 'dangerous'? "
The receiver on your rifle was manufactured in 1908-09. The barrel was made in 1922. Check and see if there is any serial # on the bolt; some bolts were etched with serial #s.
About being dangerous - this of course is a very personal judgment. The book to read about the low-numbered "problem" is Hatcher's Notebook. Maj. Gen. Julian Hatcher investigated all the receiver failures of the low-numbered series. There were only 70 out of more than one million rifles. The ordnance report that was done and which recommended the replacement of the low numbered receivers was not done until the late 1920's, eighteen years and one war after the manufacture of the receiver on your rifle. Hatcher did his studies later than that. Hatcher found - and I have read all his reports - that most/all of the receiver failures could be traced to bad war production ammo or operator error.
The problem with the receivers was the heat treatment process. Early receivers underwent a single heat treatment. Unfortunately, some of the receivers were done improperly; they were "burned", rendering them brittle and prone to fail if shocked unduly. Most of the receivers were not burned and are safe.....but there's no way to tell which ones are which.
Also good reading is William S. Brophy's "The 1903 Springfield Rifles", the definitive study.

AX10AVIATOR, the double heat treat started about 800,000 in 1918, your serial number indicates in was made in 1909, with a barrel stamped 1922, the barrel could have been installed anytime after that, the rifle should have been blued. It would appear you need the stock, upper wood, front band and rear sight, then someone would say the parts are not 'correct for the year' and or it is a rebuild, all of this has an effect on the price, after getting it back to a military configuration the price would be between from $400.00 to $6500.00, you could spend $200.00 for the parts. There was an attempt to make a carbine, bad news, I believe there were only two made. All of my 03s have scopes and after market stocks except one, it is a Remington 03 before A3, I have a Norma 308 Mag barrel that was removed from an A3A4, I have not decided yet.
Without having the history of your receiver, there is no way to determine how many rounds went through it before the barrel was replaced, seems Springfield was unaware other countries were manufacturing rifles, at about the same time the 03 was being developed, the Japanese built the T38 6.5X50 with an outstanding gas escape system, Mauser before the 03 built and designed the M98 with a gas escape system, the Springfield was fitted with a gas escape system that was named 'the Hatcher hole' not the Springfield Hole.
The cone faced barrel looks very similar to a shaped charged device, there are a lot of excuses, Hatcher recommended the Low Number rifles be taken out of service and replaced, to say Hatcher did not find a reason for saying that is a conflict when someone says he only found fault with a few, there are was an offer to replace all low numbers with high number and or Remington receivers, some claim they dropped the receiver and it shattered others claim they hit the receiver with a hammer with the same results, the low number receiver shattered.
As a side not, Winchester/Browning introduce nickel steel in the Model 94 in 1895, Springfield discovered nickel steel in 1927, 32 years after Browning and Winchester, Rock Island and Springfield manufactured 1,000,000 rifles that put the shooter at risk of injury.

Thank you F.
My dad said that my grandfather bought this rifle 'new' in the 60's at the hardware store. No clue how many rounds they have all put through it, but they said it was all factory ammo.

Message body forgive, your receiver has a barrel that was made 14 (+ or -) years after the receiver, there is no way to determine the number of opportunities the receiver had to separate before the barrel was replaced, so deductive reasoning would suggest the receiver survived long enough to get a new barrel and a Hatcher hole, in my opinion the designed had at least 2 other flaws that could contribute to failure, the 1922 barrel could have been removed from another receiver and later installed on receiver #347319 during rebuild, I have a Remington 03 that looks similar to yours, it came from Sears, accuracy with open sights is second to my 303 1905 Ross with open sights, I have applied the 'Leaver policy', I am going to 'leaver the way I founder', what ever happened to the rifle before I acquired it is not about "Oh what might have been" a friend purchased 5 Remington 03s and A3s from a barrel at Sears, he turned each into magnificent rifles, he made the reamers etc., etc., now he thinks about what the rifles would be worth if he had not turned them into hunting type rifles, he was surrounded with resource people, they all needed a source of material, the surplus rifles made it possible for gun manufactures, retailers, gunsmiths and students to earn and learn, a different time, it would be wrong for me to critics, I am not one to claim to have rescued anything and I doubt I will be remembered as being the one that hung it in a barn so it could be rescued, but while it belonged to me, it was is/was my choice.

Low numbers
"t appears to be a low numbered model? considered 'dangerous'? "
One note that I left off my original post: I have one also, made in 1905 - I shoot mine. I've looked deeply into lot and production numbers to get a sense of when and in which lots the failures occurred and how they happened. I'm satisfied that the one that I have is one of the many single heat treated receivers that are safe. A personal judgment, I know.

I think, and this is just my personal feelings, that messing with a gun like that is akin to re-writing family history.
But I do love the LEAVER POLICEY statement, gonna steal that sucker, hope its not copywrited.

Yeah, I thought about loading up some low end ammo to shoot, but then again, Ill probably just go buy a new -06 or something to use instead of this and keep it as a conversation piece, as its value to me is more than it would be to anyone else on the planet. I dont need to use this one.

my 1903A was the origional WWI style, made by springfield in 4-1921, its all origional, shoots well, action is strong, exelent rifles, you could shoot low-power loads if you are weary, like the rem managed recoil.

Of course, you're right. I just tried this one with my IP and that's exactly the way it works. I just was irritated by seeing the correct article URL and return code 200 in my txp log, but that's of course not a proper indicator in this case as the plugin acts and behaves on a higher application level.
Not sure about MSNbot, but it should honor robots.txt; yes it will visit those pages (so do all other bots too, spam bots are even usually adjusted to try exspecially URLs contained in robots.txt), but it doesn't index them.
Hmm, I was not aware of this. Thanks for explaining this so detailed :)

Re: rah_ip_range
Would it be possible to modify this plugin to block just a certain form on a page from a malicious ip, and return an "Access Denied" message rather than using <txp:die>? I'd like to be able to use a conditional to determine whether or not to display the form's contents to a user based on their ip. Thanks for your hard work!

Thank you for the suggestion :) Just released v0.2 adds "container tag" feature. When the tag is used as a container, the contained content is hidden from blocked visitors.

Re: rah_ip_range
v0.3 released, small tweaks. Changes:
- Changed: parsing contents of
messageisn't needed. Parser's straight quote feature can be used instead.
- Changed: pass parameters to
txp_die()as strings instead of an array.

Re: rah_ip_range
I was looking for a way to serve country specific content (especially for visitors from the US) and thought that this plugin might do it
Something like your example:
<txp:rah_ip_range fromip="127.0.0.1" toip="127.0.0.100" method="allow" message="Link is hidden.">
Click here.
The problem of course is that I checked the ip ranges for the US and it comes to 21,596 lines so I was wondering if there was a better method.

Accurate better method? Not really. If you really want to restrict content based on the visitor's region, your best option is to use GeoIP database.
From usability and resource use wise you probably shouldn't do that with Textpattern tags tho. But instead by using PHP library or extension. Like the one offered by MaxMind. Yes, you could use rah_ip_range, but it wouldn't be optimal.
If the idea is just to show just optional content, not restrict users, you could also use the information provided by the visitor's browser. You won't be able to restrict users, but you could show preferred content.
If you end up going with MaxMind or similar DB/library, just install the library, and look at the examples. For example in case of MaxMind, after you have installed it, you could run the detection function it comes with and return the output to a TXP's variable. From there on if_variable conditions could be used to return country specific content. Something like:
Store the visitors country in variable named 'county'
global $variable;
$gi = geoip_open("/usr/local/share/GeoIP/GeoIP.dat",GEOIP_STANDARD);
$variable['country'] = geoip_country_code_by_addr($gi, remote_addr());
Output visitors country
<txp:variable name="country" />
Untested, and I've never used the tools provided by MaxMind, no idea if it even works. All based on what they say. To make the code work, you likely will need to change the paths at least.

- Changed: default HTTP status to 403 Forbidden from 503 Service Unavailable.
- Changed: default message to
403_forbiddenl18n string.
- Changed:
messageattribute doesn't apply when tag is used as a container, instead of else can be used.

Re: rah_ip_range
Love the plugin, thanks for that.
Is there any convient way to allow access to a particular message to a series of different IP ranges? As I understand it correctly I now have to use the plugin to allow access to IP range 1, add the content, close the tag, and subsequently allow access to IP range 2, copy-paste the same contant, close the tag, and so forth.
It would be great if the plugin would allow for multiple IP ranges to be entered who would get access to the restricted content.
In my case I want to allow access to content to friend/member networks, all of whose users should have access to the otherwise restricted content. Hence a number of different IP ranges should have access to the same content.
If this could be possible in the future that would be great. If it is already possible, but I'm unable to figure it out, any tips would be much appreciated!

Schalke: No offers for Julian Draxler
Schalke are yet to receive an official offer for reported Arsenal target Julian Draxler, the club's sporting director Horst Heldt has revealed.
Draxler has been linked with a move to the Gunners during the January transfer window, amid reports that Arsene Wenger is eager to bolster his bid for the Premier League title.
The 20-year-old has a 45.5 million euro buy-out clause in his current contract, which he signed last May to commit him to the Gelsenkirchen club until 2018. However, the clause can only be triggered in the summer.
The Daily Mail reports that Wenger hopes to add another Germany international to his squad, and turn the versatile attacker into a new Robin van Persie.
Speaking to Sky Sports News in Germany on Wednesday, Heldt did not give away if the Royal Blues are willing to sell their midfield star midway through the season, but confirmed that he was yet to receive a bid.
"There are no offers from not a single club," Heldt told Sky.
#Schalke - zu den Gerüchten um #Draxler: Heldt zu #SSNHD "es gibt aktuell keine Angebote von keinem Verein!" #S04 #DraxlerzuArsenal
— Dirk g. Schlarmann (@Sky_Dirk) January 15, 2014
Late last week, Heldt admitted that the club would be powerless to stop their exciting youth product leaving at the end of the season.
"We still hope that Julian stays, but there are elements we can't influence," he said.
Draxler is under contract for another four-and-a-half years, and has established himself as a key figure at Schalke. He has already made 89 Bundesliga appearances and won 10 caps for Germany, for whom he is expected to feature at the World Cup in Brazil.
Schalke have already reinforced their squad for 2014-15 with the signing of Germany international Sidney Sam from Bayer Leverkusen, and have also strongly been linked with re-signing Lewis Holtby, who is struggling for game time at Tottenham.

QUICK BITE | Peekskill; Taking The Cannoli To a New Level
By EMILY DeNITTO
Published: June 17, 2007
Are you a cannoli lover who thinks the traditional Italian dessert can't be improved on? Then visit Homestyle Desserts Bakery in Peekskill for one of their latest creations.
Called ''chips and dip,'' the new offering features three kinds of triangular cannoli shell ''chips'' -- powdered sugar, chocolate-covered and chocolate-drizzled -- on a platter with a bowlful of cannoli filling for dipping ($20). The chips are grease-free, crispy and flavorful; the filling is rich, creamy and shot through with chocolate chips. In this presentation,you can balance the flavors the way you want with each bite.
Chips and dip is just one of the wonderful tastes at this 37-year-old bakery that produces pastries, cookies, cakes (and more) from scratch. Rose Sanca, the owner, uses only real butter and whole eggs, so the products have none of the chemical tastes or flimsy feel of so many other baked goods.
Part of Homestyle's appeal is the wide variety of desserts it offers. Dozens of cookies ($8.50 to $15 a pound) include German-style rainbows, Jewish hamentaschen and Italian sinfuls -- delicious round nut cookies with powdered sugar on top. Danishes line a wall of cases -- from cheese-filled to ?airs to chocolate horns ($1.25 each). Pies ($10 to $14) range from traditional apple to complex cream and fruit tartes. There are a dozen kinds of cheesecake including basic, tiramis?hocolate and Key lime, $14 to $22.
Wedding and specialty cakes make up 33 percent of the business, which is split evenly between wholesale and retail.
The retail end grew six years ago, when Ms. Sanca was able to double the storefront area. The back bakery grew, too, to about 5,000 feet. But it's coming up with new products that makes this businesswoman happiest. ''I love the creativity of it,'' she says.
Homestyle Desserts Bakery, 24 South Water Street, Peekskill; information can be found at (914) 737-4659 or at homestyledessertsbakery.com.

|"Well, I think we should put it back in order for them, don't you?"
This article or section needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality.
Harry Potter: Quidditch World Cup is a video game produced by EA Games that features the fictional sport of Quidditch. The user plays for the Hogwarts Quidditch Cup (competing between Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw) and then takes on the Quidditch World Cup (competing between the United States, England, France, Germany, Scandinavia, Japan, Spain, Australia and Bulgaria.)
World Cup teams
- Edric Vosper (Male) (Chaser)[1]
- Avery Hawksworth (Male) (Captain & Chaser)[1]
- Keaton Flitney (Male) (Chaser)[1]
- Dawn Withey (Female) (Beater)[1]
- Indira Choudry (Female) (Beater)[1]
- Denison Frisby (Male) (Keeper)[1]
- Blythe Parkin (Female) (Seeker)[1]
Team Special Move
The English team's Special Move is called the Rowntree Counter, and plays out as follows:First, Chaser Keaton Flitney, who has the Quaffle, yells to his teammates "Come On", then he, Edric Vosper, Avery Hawksworth dive and out of the back of their brooms flows red, white, and blue, signifying the flag of the United Kingdom, and referencing the Red Arrows, a famous British flying squad. They knock two opposing players off their brooms and while distracting the opponent Beaters, Flitney passes the Quaffle to Hawksworth, who kicks it around before passing it back to Vosper, who does an overhead kick into the hoop on the far left who does a dance on his broom. Most of the moves are not dissimilar to football.
(10 points)
Quidditch pitch
The English Quidditch pitch resembles a basic football (soccer) pitch, a grass oval with white outlines. This oval is surrounded by a moat and decorated towers resembling a medieval castle.
- Gianni Fedele (Male) (Chaser)[1]
- Debbie Muntz (Female) (Chaser)[1]
- Robert Green (Male) (Chaser)[1]
- Greg Ruczinski (Male) (Beater)[1]
- Troy Duvall (Male) (Captain & Beater)[1]
- Ralph Heidelberger (Male) (Keeper)[1]
- Ariel Singleton (Female) (Seeker)[1]
Team Special Move
The U.S.A. has a basketball-style Team Special Move, named The Harlem Shuffle, in homage to the Muggle basketball team, the Harlem Globetrotters, who specialise in this sort of artistic, almost balletic, variation of play.
First, Fedele spins it atop his finger, shouting to his fellow Chasers, "Get ready, guys!"
He passes the Quaffle immediately on to Green, who dribbles it back and forth on his broomstick for a few moments, then passes to Muntz.
Muntz plays Piggy-in-the-middle with the other team's Chaser(s), laughing.
She throws it to Fedele, who throws it to Green, who scores by throwing the Quaffle in from behind the goalpost after diving off of his broomstick, while falling.
Muntz takes it and scores once again, the other team's Keeper diving off of their broom, but failing to make the save.
(20 points)
Quidditch Pitch
The American Quidditch pitch resembles an American football field with hashes marking yards. Jack O'Lanterns float around the stadium and stands. These structures recall colonial architecture common in New England, the region of the USA where Quidditch is probably most popular.
- Noriyuki Sato (Male) (Chaser)[1]
- Yoshihiro Suzuki (Male) (Chaser)[1]
- Ryotaro Tanaka (Male) (Captain & Chaser)[1]
- Minaka Takahashi (Female) (Beater)[1]
- Keiko Takahashi (Female) (Beater)[1]
- Tamotsu Iwamoto (Male) (Keeper)[1]
- Shizuka Watanabe (Female) (Seeker)[1]
Team Special Move
Japan's Team Special Move is known as The Tsunami, and involves a lot of spinning and has a martial arts style theme. First, Sato has the Quaffle with the Takahashi sisters flanking him, two of the opponents chasers and one beater scream, then Sato does a spinning trick (the sloth grip roll, maybe?) to avoid the screaming players, then Sato passes it to Tanaka, who passes it to Suzuki who kicks an opponent who then throws it to Tanaka who kicks it in, then Suzuki kicks it in and strikes a pose on his broom.
(20 points)
Quidditch pitch
The Japanese Quidditch pitch features not a lawn but a large koi pond spanned by a bridge. The stands resemble pagodas, and the goalposts are taller than most, compelling teams to ascend slightly to score.
- Kurt Todt (Male) (Chaser)[1]
- Kursten Blijk (Female) (Chaser)[1]
- Igor Brand (Male) (Chaser)[1]
- Katrina von Glockenspieler (Female) (Captain & Beater)[1]
- Elena Eldritch (Female) (Beater)[1]
- Hermann Wiel (Male) (Keeper)[1]
- Konrad Weiss (Male) (Seeker)[1]
Team Special Move
The German Team's Special Move is played out like American football. Todt kicks the Quaffle hard to Blijk, who weaves in and out of the opponents, and then she throws to Todt, who abruptly stops, causing the opposing team to fly past him. Strangely enough, this is the only team to score a goal at the 'own' post.
The opposing chasers then turn back to see Todt throwing the Quaffle to Brand who leaps into the air and smacks the Quaffle in.
Blijk, who was on the other side of the goals, dropkicks it back towards Todt who gracefully leaps from his broom and brutally headbutts it in.
Germany then does a victory pose.
(20 points)
Quidditch pitch
The German Quidditch stadium is situated in a secluded forest with a castle visible in the distance. The pitch is stone with a star-shaped fountain in the centre. The stadium and its stands are designed to look like a traditional German village or castle.
- Mathilde Mallard (Female) (Chaser)
- Josephine Marat (Female) (Captain & Chaser)
- Hildegarde Lafarge (Female) (Chaser)
- Alain Lacroix (Male) (Beater)
- Ninon Saucet (Female) (Beater)
- Bastien Janvier (Male) (Keeper)
- Cybèle Peltier (Female) (Seeker)
Team Special Move
Their Team Special Move, the Blitzen Ballet, has a lot of spinning in it, and contains many gymnastic-style moves. First, Marat and Mallard pass the Quaffle to one another, then Mallard swings across to Lafarge's broom. Then Mallard passes it to Marat who scores while leaving the keeper gaping. (10 points)
Quidditch pitch
The French Qudditch pitch is an elaborate, symmetrical hedge maze. Goalposts rise from pools of water. The stadium and pitch resemble the Palace of Versailles and its expansive garden. After every goal made, church-like bells ring.
- Matthew Echunga (Male) (Chaser)[1]
- Kenneth Hastings (Male) (Chaser)[1]
- Maria Monteith (Female) (Chaser)[1]
- Kelly Whakkaarangapawarau (Female) (Beater)[1]
- Kylie Meadows (Female) (Beater)[1]
- Jonny Nuhaka (Male) (Keeper)[1]
- Lucy Karoonda (Female) (Captain & Seeker)[1]
Team Special Move
First, The Australians start their TSM with Echunga leading Monteith, Hastings, and Whakkaarangapawarau, then Echunga and Monteith pass the Quaffle to each other, with waves coming out of their brooms, avoiding the passing chaser, then Hastings has the Quaffle and does a serve into the hoop. It resembles surfing. (20 points)
Quidditch pitch
The Australian stadium is likely found in the Outback, where a formation of red rocks makes up the boundaries. The pitch is a mostly flat, sun-baked plain scattered with several red boulders. Banners of Aboriginal design hang from the stands. A chorus of didgeridoos follows each goal.
- Olaf Andersen (Male) (Chaser)[1]
- Lorre Gustafson (Female) (Chaser)[1]
- Peter Hansen (Male) (Chaser)[1]
- Asgeir Knutsen (Female) (Beater)[1]
- Asgard Pettersson (Male) (Beater)[1]
- Martin Helstrom (Male) (Keeper)[1]
- Tina Lundstrom (Female) (Captain & Seeker)[1]
Team Special Move
The Nordic Team's Team Special Move is quite complicated. First, the 3 chasers do flips in the air, making streams of icy fog.
The opposing team's chasers close their eyes, and Gustafson scores.
Gustafson goes behind the goal, passes the ball back to Hansen who scores.
The Special move is known as The Björn Blizzard.
(20 points)
Quidditch pitch
The Nordic Team's stadium is made completely of ice, closed in by large glaciers. The pitch itself is a cracked, frozen pond outlined in luminescent green. The stands are built into spire-like structures of ice. It is nearly always snowing there.
- Carmen Garcia (Male) (Chaser)[1]
- Ana de Lebron (Male) (Chaser)[1]
- Chavelle Arbelo Cartaya (Male) (Chaser)[1]
- Vasco Santini (Male) (Beater)[1]
- Tiago Montoya (Male) (Beater)[1]
- Sendelina de la Felino (Male) (Keeper)[1]
- Inigo Fuente Marrero (female) (Seeker)[1]
Team Special Move
The Spanish's stereotypical fondness for dancing and bullfighting is shown in this move; García makes a powerful throw, Lebrón dodges it, then García jumps to one end of his broom to lift the Quaffle up in the air. Then Lebrón catches it, spins, then throws to Cartaya, who hits it into the goal with his broom then shouts '¡Sí!'
(10 points)
Quidditch pitch
The Spanish stadium is built inside an old castle or arena. It features a dusty brick pitch like that of a bullfighting ring. Church bells ring after every goal scored here. This venue is unique in that it is the only Quidditch stadium (known thus far) that is entirely contained indoors.
- Alexei Levski (Male) (Chaser)[1]
- Clara Ivanova (Female) (Chaser)[1]
- Vasily Dimitrov (Male) (Captain & Chaser)[1]
- Ivan Volkov (Male) (Beater)[1]
- Pyotr Vulchanov (Male) (Beater)[1]
- Lev Zograf (Male) (Keeper)[1]
- Viktor Krum (Male) (Seeker)
Team Special Move
The Team Special Move for Bulgaria features Viktor Krum doing the Wronski Feint (from the Goblet of Fire); he knocks the opposing seeker off their broom into the opposing chasers, depriving them of the Quaffle, and giving it to Levski, who swiftly punches it into the central hoop.
(10 points)
Quidditch pitch
The Bulgarian stadium is, like the German pitch, made primarily of stone. A sinister forest surrounds the structure, and the sky is always dark. The stands are grim, Gothic towers. A clock tower at one end houses the scoreboard. This clock's bell chimes after every goal scored.
Bulgaria is also the only team that needs to be unlocked.
Hogwarts rosters
Because the books have not named all of the members of the Hogwarts house teams, the video game has filled in the gaps as follows, circa Harry's third year. It is possible that J. K. Rowling provided the names, as she has been known to participate in multimedia projects, such as the Harry Potter Trading Card Game. In any case, the rosters are as follows:
- Angelina Johnson (Passing Chaser)
- Katie Bell (Tackle and Shoot Chaser)
- Alicia Spinnet (Special Move Chaser)
- Fred Weasley (Beater)
- George Weasley (Beater)
- Oliver Wood (Captain & Keeper)
- Harry Potter (Seeker)
Their team special move is called the Weasley Wangler. The twins hit a bludger side to side with Alicia Spinnet with the Quaffle, the passing and special move chasers try to defend the keeper, but they get scared, At last the keeper screams as he gets pelted by a bludger and Alicia scores.
(10 points)
(Also significantly reduces opponent's Snitch Bar)
- Jeremy Stretton (Passing Chaser)
- Roger Davies (Captain & Tackle and Shoot Chaser)
- Randolph Burrow (Special Move Chaser)
- Duncan Inglebee (Beater)
- Jason Samuels (Beater)
- Grant Page (Keeper)
- Cho Chang (Seeker)
Ravenclaw's team special move, The Burdish of Raven, is the most offensively powerful of all the teams, at Hogwarts or elsewhere. First, the 3 chasers go up in the air, the passing and special move chasers gaze in awe as they loop and go down, as they pass, Roger Davies punches the special move chaser, Randolph Burrow kicks the passing chaser, leaving the way clear for Jeremy Stretton to shoot, then Randolph Burrow scores, and finally, Roger Davies scores.
(30 points)
- Malcolm Preece (Passing Chaser)
- Heidi Macavoy (Tackle and Shoot Chaser)
- Tamsin Applebee (Special Move Chaser)
- Maxine O'Flaherty (Beater)
- Anthony Rickett (Beater)
- Herbert Fleet (Keeper)
- Cedric Diggory (Captain & Seeker)
The Cedric Swoop'n'Swagger is quite a long move. First, they are in possession of the quaffle, when the passing and special move chasers from the other team are in hot pursuit of it. Preece fires the quaffle to Macavoy, avoiding the passing chaser, then Macavoy passes it to Applebee, who passes it to Macavoy who avoids the special move chaser, then she passes it to Preece who does a ground shot which the force lifts it up into the air so it goes in a hoop, then Macavoy passes it to Applebee, then she scores.
(20 points)
(Slightly reduces opponent's Snitch Bar)
- Marcus Flint (Captain & Passing Chaser)
- Graham Montague (Tackle and Shoot Chaser)
- Adrian Pucey (Special Move Chaser)
- Lucian Bole (Beater)
- Peregrine Derrick (Beater)
- Kevin Bletchley (Named Kevin Bletchley in software, but possibly meant to be Miles Bletchley) (Keeper)
- Draco Malfoy (Seeker)
The Zeeburger Slither is very brutal.

Quidditch pitch
The Hogwarts Quidditch pitch appears exactly as it does in the Harry Potter films. Multicoloured spectator stands surround a neatly manicured lawn outlined in white. Golden goal hoops stand at either end of the ovular pitch.
Bonus Quidditch pitch: Queerditch Marsh
One of the unlockables in the game is the first appearance of the site of Quidditch's invention, Queerditch Marsh. This pitch is sloppily defined by a faded white oval on a relatively flat area of English marshland. Rickety stands rise from the oval's edges. Instead of constructed goal hoops, Chasers throw the Quaffle through large birds' nests in the two trees on either end of the pitch. A thin brook runs across the length of the oval.
Only Hogwarts teams may play on Queerditch Marsh.

Behind the scenes
- Ireland is not included in the game as a playable team despite being the cannonical team to win the 1994 Quidditch World Cup.
- It is the only audiovisual production in all of the Harry Potter franchise in which characters talk directly to the camera. In the introduction of this game we see Harry and Oliver Wood dressed in their Gryffindor Quidditch team uniforms instructing the player the basic commands and objectives of the gameplay. All of the Hogwarts teams introduce themselves to the player (and so does one member of each available country) with Harry, Draco, Cho and Cedric giving the audience instructions and commenting on how good or bad they preformed.
- A simplified version of the Game Boy Advance version of Quidditch World Cup is included as a minigame in the Nintendo DS version of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, using the same control scheme. Only Hogwarts teams are present, however.
- In the Game Boy Advance version, the Hogwarts Inter-House Cup schedule is not the same as what is known of the school schedule. For example, Gryffindor plays the other three Houses in the order of Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff in the Game Boy Advance version, whereas the Gryffindor team played in the order of Slytherin, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw from at least 1991-1997, and likely more years before and after.

I can't believe there are some media types out there taking Chip Hale to task for sending Carlos Beltran yesterday with 2 outs in the bottom of the 2nd inning, on a Daniel Murphy single to right. This past December, Beltran told a group of Mets bloggers that he feels great, that his knee felt good and that he has been doing a lot of running.
Beltran made his spring debut yesterday, as a DH not a right fielder, on his first at bat got a base hit to right showing a beautiful hitting stroke. With two outs, Daniel Murphy hit a single and Hale never hesitated in sending Beltran, who was rumbling and stumbling around third and headed home, slid under the catcher tag to score a run. Now the debate has started should Hale have sent Beltran? Yeah why not?
For what we know, Beltran is not injured nor is he coming off any post season surgeries. His last surgery was over a year ago and he returned back to action in July, playing the last 64 games of the season, the last 20 of them like the Carlos Beltran of old. Now you can make the argument that he hasn't played a full season in two years but if we are going to hold our breath every time Beltran goes from 1st to 3rd or 2nd to home hoping he doesn't blow out a knee, then the Mets are in a lot of trouble.
Again Beltran has stated he's fine, he must play with a knee brace on but if he proclaims himself fit to play then why hold him back? Terry Collins it seems was a bit upset that Hale sent Beltran and said he should have made it known before the game to go slow with Carlos, maybe this is the first misstep by the manager. Don't blame Chip Hale he was just doing what he does best, coaching the hell out of 3rd base.


text: I am a sadly ex trumpet player with loans, so I'm looking to sell my horn. It's a Stradivarius Bach Model 43, the Sterling Silver Plus model, which means the bell is solid silver. The slides are in quite good shape. The valves are a little stiff, but not too bad. The lacquer has come off the silver in spots, and looks pretty tarnished right now, but a little elbow grease and silver polish and it will look just fine. There is some very slight and hardly noticeable tarnishing on the brass parts of the horn. I paid $1800 for it new in 2002, but I'm not sure how much I should expect for it now. Is $1000 too much/too little?
