We have a 1 and a half year old German Short-haired pointer, Zoe who is quite active, she loves the company of other people or dogs. Zoe is one of the main reasons we want to stay by the beach as I will take her down incense or twice a day. We are willing to pay an extra pet bond if this is necessary. We are both super cruisy people who love getting outdoors and enjoy a good beer! Ross is a body boarder while I just enjoy being down the beach. Look forward to hearing :)

I once saw Rod Hull in a shoe shop in Corfu.
This thread is degenerating well away from the op now...
I once saw Rod Hull in a shoe shop in Corfu.
This thread is degenerating well away from the op now...
Not really but I do see people who are always on telly on a daily basis. It's just that it's shopping telly at the minute so it doesn't count
Matt, I'm not having you loitering up around there.....
If we're talking shit connections... I once bought Paul Heaton a pint to apologise for buying a pirate copy of the Beautiful South's latest album.
If we're doing crap celeb shopping top trumps, I'm going to double down. Camilla Dallerup (from Strictly Come Dancing) and her bloke Kevin Sacre (former Hollyoaks mentalist) shop in my local Sainsburys.
I've ridden with :
Alf Engers
Shane Sutton
Alexei Sayle
Magnus Backstedt
Derek Brockway
I spotted Alexei Sayle a few rows away in the theatre once and said "****, it's Alexei Sayle" out loud, instead of thinking it. He gave me death stares for a good few minutes afterwards. I don't know him personally though.
I went to a spinning class with Jens Voigt a few weeks back and then out for a few beers and ended up dancing round a maypole and talking about little fish.
I met Bill Bailey in heathrow baggage claim once, and bizarrely, Phil Jupitus in a pub in Aberystwyth. I have never met any other people of the telly box, and the two I have met were off the same show.
Oh and I once saw shadow off of the gladiators in a traffic jam on the M6. He was driving a vauxhall frontera.
I saw Bradley Wiggo and Mrs Wiggo in Wagamamas in Manchester the week after he came fourth in Le Tour. Congratulated him and shook his hand, he seemed nice enough.
My friend's son once wiped snot on Vic Reeves jacket.
Saw Kevin Grand Designs "it's just vaaaaast", "the question is, will they pull it off?" McCloud in the Arriba cafe in Portree the other week. He and his Mrs were having a little tiff.
I could go on.
I went to uni with that Darius Danesh guy, he dropped out to do pop idol I think it was. He was a massive nob, so nobody really missed him.
Wiggo - my daughter had her photo taken with him, seems like a decent chap. Also, wife of the guy I sit next to at work is mates with his wife, this has (unsurprisingly) not resulted in me going on any rides with him.
Oh, and Tim Rice stuck two fingers up at me on the M4 sliproad near Heathrow as he cut me up.
this has (unsurprisingly) not resulted in me going on any rides with him.Shame. I hear he's having a cycling holiday in France this summer, why not ask if you can go with him ?
Thinking about it I was in the same year at school (at the same school) as an Olympic gold medal winning track cyclist. And a double murderer. Go figure.
My mate fingered Claire Baldwin when she was in pre lezzo mode years ago, does that count?
I know a few famous people that wouldn't be recognised (although people would know who they were) , but I'm very proud to say I don't know any 'celebrities', and I plan to keep it that way.
Don't know anyone famous, but shared the Salcombe-East Portlemouth Ferry with Micheal Parkinson. Saw Martin Johnson on the beach down there too, he's massive, even bigger than he looks on telly.
I once stood at a urinal next to Matthew Kelly.
I'm mates with someone on the GB Cycling Squad. Not famous on a big scale though.
I'm mates with a guy in the white lies. My mums friends with an oscar and bafta winner. I was 2 years above john ruddy the goalkeeper.
But my only real A list moment was crashing a punt into a punt with Stephen Hawking in it!
Oh, too many to mention:
I was in a lift in a hotel once and the doors opened and Christopher Biggins got in.
I used to get a lift to school with George Cole's son. Usually his mum took us (she's also an actress, mainly theatre and radio drama but occasional TV stuff), but once or twice George himself would do the lifts. He had a jag as well.
My wife is friends with one of Mika's backing singers, who also stood in for Senser's shouty frontwoman when the original shouty frontwoman was pregnant. And through that connection, a passing aquaintance with Skunk Anansie's drummer (he was in Feeder to), who is her other half.
Just remembered - I met Lisa Faulkner at the Good Food Show last week, and also a few other people who've been on Masterchef.
My mate stood next to David Seaman in the loos at Harrods a few years back. 'Pound for a piss! That's a bit steep' was the limit of that conversation.
Need I go on - I'm practically nailed on to be in the next series of Big Brother, I'm that famous.
kris akabusi - top bloke
john craven - gets very close when talking to you; told me I should be on countryfile
Kate humble - never shuts up
Dr fox - n0b
sue mcgregor -
one of the sciencey presenters but I forget who
the youngish posh explorer bloke - forgotten his name too
the white and yellow snake britney used in a video once
and I once saw a shambolic looking peter fall walking down the road in Miami.
oh, and I know hora.
I served Arnold Schwarzenegger and his family ice cream in Covent Garden back in the early 90's.
AND when he couldn't carry them all he actually said "I'll be back" then laughed his head off.
Still one of the coolest days of my life.

Still one of the coolest days of my life.
Basically that's a story you'll keep telling even when everyone else is pissed off with you telling it because it's so good.
I once stood at a urinal next to Matthew Kelly.
And I have stood at a urinal next to Bob off Emmerdale. He followed normal etiquette patterns and did not engage me in conversation until after we had finished weeing.
I've also shook hands with Honor Blackman.
Big hands.
Julie Goodyear - (Bet Lynch from Corrie) was friends with my Mum and Dad when I was growing up. She used to pull pints in our pub at Christmas and if she saw me walking home From school with my mates she'd pull up in her MG and give me a lift home. Very funny because she was one of the most recognise able faces in the country back then and would usually wear her trademark fur coat and Mahoosive earrings!
Oh and me and my mate met George Best outside the bogs at Old Trafford cricket ground. My mate shook his hand and made some daft remark about not washing it and Best said "I would if I were you I've just pissed all over mine"
I bumped into Kate Moss in a nightclub in Soho once.

This week was a huge week of firsts.
First day of soccer for Audrey.
First day of preschool as a four year old for Elliot.
First day of homeschooling.
But that was just for preschool.
Kindergarten is the big time.
We still have lots of fun + games + art projects (Audrey lives for the art projects!)
But there are a bit more expectations now.
Like practicing reading + writing + math every day, not just when you feel like it.
It has been a big adjustment this week.
We are creating our new normal, our new family rhythms.
And that is not always easy,
Especially when it is still in the 80s outside and you just want to play!
But despite the adjustments,
we have seriously had so much fun.
I can't wait for this year
and all that we are going to learn
and how we are going to grow as a little family.
Here are some peeks at what our first day looked like...
early morning visit from Mooma
mini-photoshoot with mama
making a science notebook for her favorite doll
Kit was very involved in the whole day
excited about new school books!
the day's art project- alligator As
journaling about dinosaurs
building a fort in the backyard
after bedtime pajama ice-cream run (a first day of school tradition)
Yes, it really was a good day.

hi all,
i just got a build environment up and running and created a fix for a problem with relax shares (shares specified as $root/$music and such can't be drilled down into properly). i have a diff file for the changes.
question is, what do i do now? i'm not an official developer and my fix obviously needs to be looked at by one before being accepted. i'm not sure what the protocol is for this? do i submit a bug on sf and attach the patch? do i create a patch in sf?
- Frodo - 2003-11-10
just zip the modified files and upload them to sourceforge
if your patch is good enough we'll add it to cvs

AF 18 - 200 mm F/3.5-6.3 XR Di II LD IF Review Test
This was introduced at PMA in February 2005.
It's the digital version of Tamron's popular do-everything lenses. It's similar to a 28 - 300 mm lens on a 35mm film camera.
It sells for about $400.
Elements: 15 elements in 13 groups
Filter Size: 62 mm
Diaphragm: Seven blades, well rounded at large apertures.
Marked Focal Lengths: 18, 35, 50, 70, 100, 135 and 200 mm.
Close Focus: 18" (0.45m) at all focal lengths.
Size: 3.3" (84 mm) long by 2.9" (74 mm) diameter.
Weight: 14 oz. (400 g).
Available Mounts: Nikon, Canon, Konica Minolta and Pentax.
It zooms well. The focal lengths are very well spread out so any constant rotation of the zoom ring gives an equal percentage change in focal length. It's easy to get the focal length you want.
It has a lock button on the zoom ring to keep the lens at 18 mm while walking around. This keeps the lens from getting a woodie and creeping to the longer focal lengths, at which settings the lens gets quite a bit longer.
It focuses the old fashioned way: with a screw driven from a motor in the camera. It's not fast.
This is always the weakest point for these super long ratio zooms. It's normal for you to get some really bizarrely bent straight lines along the sides of the image, don't go returning a lens as defective if you see this. if distortion bugs you then don't get a super wide range lens like this. If you need straight lines use a different lens or use this lens in its sweet spot around 24 mm.
Use the figures below and plug them into the right place explained on my page on fixing lens distortion. If you do that the distortion cancels completely
18 mm: wild pincushion. Use +6.0. It's too complex to remove completely.
22 mm: pincushion center, getting neutral at the corners.
24 mm: neutral in center and pincushion at the corners.
28 mm: neutral at close distances, pincushion far.
35 mm: strong pincushion.
50 mm: strong pincushion. Use -3.9 and it corrects pretty well.
70 mm: strong pincushion.
100 mm: pincushion
135 mm: pincushion
200 mm: pincushion. Use -2.8 to correct.
I offer these figures as the results of lengthy research to help you get great results. Use them all you want for your photography, but because this research is copyrighted it is forbidden to make any other use without explicit permission.
Sharpness: It's better than I'd expected, although I haven't given it an exhaustive test. It's so sharp at most focal lengths wide open that it easily can excite aliases in my D70. These observations below are at full aperture; it of course will get better stopped down.
18 mm: great
24 mm: great; a little soft on the left
35 mm: great
50 mm: great
85 mm: great
135 mm: great, some minor secondary lateral chromatic aberration (green/magenta fringes to the sides)
200 mm: great, some minor secondary lateral chromatic aberration (green/magenta fringes to the sides)
Flare and Ghosts:
Pretty good. I didn't see any indoors pointed at bright lights.
This is a pretty good lens if you want a do-it-all lens. For the same money you can get both the Nikon 18 - 55 and 55 -200 lenses and get much less distortion for the same price, but you have to carry two smaller lenses and change them as needed. Personally I use the two lens solution and not accept the optical compromises, especially in distortion, that you do with any lens of this type.

Bishop Donald Pelotte of the Diocese of Gallup, New Mexico made an erratic emergency call from his home to local police early Thursday morning. An incident report from the McKinley Metropolitan Dispatch Authority reported that Bishop Pelotte, aged 62, told operators "...gentle little people, about 3 to 4 feet tall, and wearing Halloween masks" were in the hall. Bishop Pelotte is reported to have said that he hid in a closet while the people were in his home.
Three officers were dispatched to the bishop's residence at 6 a.m., where they searched inside and outside his home. They reportedly found no intruders, but twenty minutes later the bishop requested they search again. Again, the officers discovered no intruders.
The bishop reported four individuals were in his house but gave contradictory information about them. He said one of the individuals had come to visit while the others came inside. He claimed they had been at his home for three hours and would not leave despite his requests.
Bishop Pelotte suffered severe injuries on July 23 sometime before his chancellor Deacon Timoteo Lujan discovered him locked in his bedroom. The bishop told Deacon Lujan that he had fallen down a staircase, but an emergency room physician at Rehoboth McKinley Christian Hospital contacted police, suspecting Bishop Pelotte may have been assaulted. The bishop was then airlifted to a trauma center at a Phoenix hospital.
Following the incident, Bishop Pelotte insisted that he fell down a set of stairs after having felt sick for the previous day or two. Chancery officials at the Diocese of Gallup have said that Bishop Pelotte suffered traumatic head injury in the July incident.
Matt Doyle, interim communications director for the Diocese of Gallup, said that clergy consulting Bishop Pelotte and other officials will be contacted to make a decision for the diocese. Nonetheless, the final decision on what to do will fall to the Vatican.

Orlando Pirates defeated DR Congo giants TP Mazembe 3-1 in the first leg of their Caf Champions League tie on Saturday night at the Orlando Stadium.
A largely second-string Pirates outfit took an early lead via a first-minute Onyekachi Okonkwo goal, but his strike was cancelled out by Paotu Kabangu in the 44th minute.
Pirates failed to finish a myriad opportunities during the match, but Collins Mbesuma was able to score in the 55th minute to regain the Buccaneers lead.
In the final minutes of the game TP Mazembe goalkeeper Kidiaba brought down Mbesuma in the box, with a penalty the result. The Zambian international stepped up to net his second goal of the game and give his side a vital two goal lead in their Caf Champions League tie.
Played in cold conditions at the Orlando Stadium, Pirates made a perfect start to the tie with Onyekachi Okonkwo netting a sublime strike which curled into the top right corner of the net with merely one minute on the clock.
Collins Mbesuma should have doubled the lead in the 10th minute when he surged forward free on goal, but his low shot was well-saved by Kidiaba.
The DR Congo champions had to make an early substitution when Eric Nkulukuta's injury saw him replaced by Herve Ndonga in the 28th minute.
As the first half continued, TP Mazembe's defence continued to look fragile under pressure as Pirates piled forward in numbers, seeking to build on their early lead. In the 35th minute Gcaba forced a brave block from Kidiaba who looked vulnerable under the high ball throughout proceedings.
But with their first real chance, Mazembe struck through Patou Kabangu in the 44th minute. Kabangu finished a clinical move from Mazembe with a calm shot from close range, after receiving the ball right in front of goal.
With the visitors holding a vital away goal, Pirates came out in the second stanza with intent to find the lead once more.
Tlou Segolela utilised his pace to burst down the right flank, but his tantalising cross was well-defended by TP Mazembe.
Ten minutes after the second half commenced Collins Mbesuma pounced on an opportunity to regain Pirates lead. Masuku's mis-kick fell into the Zambian's path and he finished deftly past Kidiaba to make the score 2-1 in the Buccaneer's favour.
Kabangu came close to stealing an equaliser in the 83rd minute, but his low drive was straight at Senzo Meyiwa.
When the game looked destined to end 2-1, Pirates were awarded a 92nd minute penalty when Collins Mbesuma was brought down by Kidiaba. Mbesuma buried the penalty-kick to give the home side a vital two goal lead in the tie.

British spies have developed "dirty tricks" for use against nations, hackers, terror groups, suspected criminals and arms dealers that include releasing computer viruses, spying on journalists and diplomats, jamming phones and computers, and using sex to lure targets into "honey traps."
Documents taken from the National Security Agency by Edward Snowden and exclusively obtained by NBC News describe techniques developed by a secret British spy unit called the Joint Threat Research and Intelligence Group (JTRIG) as part of a growing mission to go on offense and attack adversaries ranging from Iran to the hacktivists of Anonymous. According to the documents, which come from presentations prepped in 2010 and 2012 for NSA cyber spy conferences, the agency's goal was to "destroy, deny, degrade [and] disrupt" enemies by "discrediting" them, planting misinformation and shutting down their communications.

The city has a 25-member council made up of a seven-member board of aldermen and an 18-member common council.
Paul Schlosberg, chairman of the city's charter commission, says residents on Tuesday voted to replace the two-tiered system with a single-branch 11-member city council.
Supporters of the change said the existing form of government is too cumbersome and the new streamlined council would be more accountable.
Backers of the existing system said Everett is the only municipality in the country with a bicameral form of local government.
The change is one of many proposed by a local commission charged with updating the city's 119-year-old charter.
The changes would take effect by 2014.

Lindsay Lohan throws fiance's phone in sea
Athens, July 12 (IANS) Actress Lindsay Lohan threw her fiance Egor Tarabasov's phone into the sea, sparking a huge row.
The "Mean Girls" actress was reportedly infuriated after reading a text message on Tarabasov's mobile device and stunned their friends and family at Chinawhite on Rakkan Beach in Mykonos, Greece with her explosive reaction, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
Tarabasov, 22, quickly retaliated, throwing a drink over the 30-year-old star. The couple then argued before security stepped in to calm the situation.
An onlooker told The Sun newspaper: "Everything was fine between them before something on Egor's phone upset Lindsay. They then started shouting and screaming at each other.
"Lindsay threw his phone in the sea, she looked absolutely furious. The security at the beach club had to pull them apart and Lindsay left in her car while Egor went back to the party."
While representatives for the actress claimed the row was "all in jest", she appeared to reference the situation on her Instagram account.
"Falling in love in exhausting… Especially when you are the older woman and have already seen it all. Love is the most important thing at the end of the day," Lohan wrote.

OverviewAndy and I skinned up to the top of Kachina Peak starting from the base of the Kachina lift (#4) at Taos Ski Valley and finishing by zig-zagging up the ski run Main Street. We skied down the SE facing slope on the "backside" of Kachina, into "Wilderness Bowl," and bootpacked up a NE facing couloir in the bowl behind Kachina for a second run, and then skied down and back out, joining the Williams Lake Trail near the bottom. The roundtrip distance was ~4 miles with a total vertical climbed of ~3000'. Our total car-to-car time was about 4.75 hours.
Trailhead informationTo get to the hikers' parking area, take NM State Route 150 to the Taos Ski Valley parking area. From the NE corner of the parking area, find and take Twining Rd (dirt road) for about 2 miles to the hikers' parking lot which will be on the right side of the road after some switchbacks. This dirt road gets fairly steep, but normal passenger cars will be OK as long as the road is snow/ice free. From the parking lot, follow a well-beaten path heading S from the SW corner of the parking lot. Shortly you will pass the Bavarian Restaurant (good German beers/grub although they are generally closed from early April through late May) and come to the bottom of the Kachina chairlift (#4).
Photos of our tour and ski descent
NotesThis was a nice mellow spring tour. The SE slope off the backside of Kachina is not overly steep. Due to the aspect, you want to hit it fairly early. We hit it around 10:45AM and it was already soft. The NE facing couloir gets very steep at the top, as you can see from the pictures, and is a more challenging climb/ski. An ice axe or Whippet poles is recommended. We used crampons mostly because we had them with us, but we could have bootpacked. These two runs are a perfect combo as the snow in the NE facing couloir softens up at the right time for a second lap. As always, beacon/shovel/probe and knowledge of their use are essential.

The Obama administration is urging European leaders to deal more forcefully with a debt crisis that could significantly damage the U.S. and global economy.
Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told a congressional panel Thursday that the debt crisis has already slowed growth significantly in Europe and around the world. European leaders must move quickly to contain it.
"The crisis in Europe presents a very significant risk to global recovery," Geithner said during a hearing of the Senate Banking Committee. "Europe is so large and so closely integrated with the U.S. and world economies that a severe crisis in Europe could cause significant damage by undermining confidence and weakening demand."
Geithner told the panel that major U.S. banks and money market funds have moved to substantially reduce their exposure to the countries facing the most pressure. He called their direct exposure "very modest." But he said the crisis was slowing economic growth in Europe, which he said did represent a threat to the U.S. economy.
"We want Europe to move and we want to make sure they move more aggressively," Geithner told the committee.
Geithner said a key difference between the current European crisis and the 2008 financial crisis is that U.S. banks have greater capital reserves to hold against losses.
European leaders are moving to have their banks boost capital reserves, too. That would help them cover losses should Greece or another heavily indebted nation default on its debt.
On Wednesday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the head of Europe's biggest economy, backed the effort to recapitalize banks.
Geithner said European leaders must move more quickly to build up rescue funds that would give nervous financial markets greater assurances that they have the resources to prevent a default by a European nation from jolting the global financial system.
Geithner told both the Senate committee and an afternoon hearing before the House Financial Services Committee that it was important for Congress to boost U.S. economic growth by passing President Barack Obama's $447 billion jobs program as a way to jump-start growth in the U.S. He said faster economic growth would put the United States in a better position to withstand the fallout from the on-going debt problems in Europe.
Republican lawmakers, opposed to Obama's program because of concerns about federal budget deficits, argued that the biggest drag on the economy currently was excessive government regulations. They specifically attacked the new rules federal banking regulators are proposing to carry out a sweeping overhaul of the financial system approved in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.
Democrats on the House and Senate panels criticized Geithner for failing to do enough to implement government programs aimed at helping people facing foreclosure on their homes.
Geithner argued that the financial regulations are aimed at addressing the excesses exposed by the financial crisis and are not stifling legitimate banking operations. He conceded that the foreclosure mitigation programs have fallen short of their original goals but he said the administration is continuing to work to improve the operation of those programs.

Every so often, a team finds itself representing something more than the name on the uniform. It is touched by a power beyond itself, a force that supersedes deep desire and tangible strength.
Such as last winter, when the Fennville High (Mich.) boys basketball team, in the wake of its star player dying on the court, after a game-winning shot, gathered and soldiered onward for a deep run in the state playoffs.
Such as the previous winter, when the New Orleans Saints, not just a football team but the foremost symbols of a region devastated by a deadly natural disaster, came back to win Super Bowl XLIV.
Such as March 1990, when Loyola Marymount, after watching its star player collapse on the basketball court and die, summoned a magical run in the NCAA tournament.
Now here comes the 2011 Cal baseball team, facing its own adversity, riding a prolonged wave of emotion all the way into the College World Series this weekend.
Like Fennville and New Orleans and Loyola Marymount, Cal has a cause that is bigger than the individuals or the collective or the games. The Bears spent much of the past eight months operating not in memory of loss of life but with the threat of losing something for which they live.
"For us, baseball is life," shortstop Marcus Semien said Tuesday.
This comes about nine months after the team was requested, via e-mail, to attend a meeting. The grim faces of school officials, including athletic director Sandy Barbour, immediately darkened the room. The baseball program, they were told, would be discontinued after this season. Budget cuts.
Just like that, cold economics imperiled 118 years of history and, more immediately, invalidated the primary reason many of these young men, from as far away as Maryland and Virginia, came to Berkeley.
"We were angry, upset," pitcher Matt Flemer said. "It's never good being punched in the gut, especially before you even start practicing."
Within seconds, a cause was born. Alumni, parents and a concerned community established a program to raise the $9 million needed to save Cal baseball. Former Bears players, including 2000 N.L. MVP Jeff Kent, delivered financial aid. There was no knowing if the effort would pay off.
Meanwhile, effectively given layoff notices, the players bonded around a common goal of making baseball an essential program at Cal.
"They wanted to show people we weren't disposable," coach David Esquer said.
As college students, they didn't have much money to offer. So they focused their energy on the field. They were unified in their animosity toward the university power structure and, not to be dismissed, college baseball observers who projected mediocrity.
The Bears won six of their first seven and, with the program still facing closure, ended March with a seven-game winning streak and a 17-5 record. Though the quality of the program was not at issue, the team nonetheless made a resounding, positive statement.
The Bears played as if there were nothing to lose. Of course they did. What, to them, would be more of a loss than taking away the thing they enjoyed most?
"One of the Washington State assistants we know came up to a couple of us," Semien said, recalling a three-game sweep of the Cougars in March. "He said, 'You guys are playing with a serious chip on your shoulder. How can I get my guys to play like that?' "
Well, Coach, you can't — unless you relay a message about killing the program.
Upon receiving news in early April that the required money had been raised and the program would be saved, Cal momentarily responded with its least inspired baseball of the season. For the rest of the month, the Bears were 6-7.
"We relaxed a little bit," Flemer conceded.
They have since rediscovered their edge. Reaching the NCAA tournament in Houston, the Bears won four of five regional games to advance to a super regional last week in Santa Clara, where they won two games against Dallas Baptist by a combined 13-2 score.
That was enough to send the unseeded Bears to the CWS in Omaha, Neb., where their reward is facing No. 1 seed Virginia.
Their journey has had a dash of March Madness Cinderella, a dollop of turmoil and a generous sprinkle of passion. Though Cal is a solid team, its greatest attribute is not an arm or a bat or a glove, but the collective heart. And the intangible force.
"It's not life or death," pitcher Flemer said. "But you can tell the impact this thing has had on every one of us."
Do such sports stories validate the presence of a higher power? Maybe. Are they indicative of individuals finding more than they thought they had? Possibly.
Undoubtedly, though, they are the kinds of stories that never get old.

Uncle reveals Arsenal ace Alex Iwobi's shock future plans
ALEX IWOBI will commit his future to Nigeria and NOT England, claims former midfielder Emmanuel Okocha.
Alex Iwobi is reportedly set to pledge his international future to Nigeria
Okocha, who is the elder brother of Bolton star Jay-Jay and uncle to Iwobi, says the Arsenal starlet is in Africa to pledge his future to the Super Eagles.
"Iwobi is here in Nigeria for the match against Egypt, so hopefully if he plays a part, he can no longer play for England, that will be it," he told website AllNigeriaSoccer.
"He wants to play for Nigeria and that is why he is here."
The FA meanwhile, are reportedly desperate to persuade the 19-year-old to commit his future to England, after impressing for the Gunners of late.
Iwobi has started three of the north London side's last four games, scoring his first goal for the club in the 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday.
And the Mirror claim the FA are in a rush against time to prevent the forward from representing Nigeria in their upcoming Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double header against Egypt.
Iwobi has 11 caps in total for England's youth teams, all in non-competitive fixtures, and has played two friendlies for Nigeria.
This means there is still an opportunity for him to change his mind and represent England, although should he feature against Egypt for Nigeria his future will be sealed.

By: Sherry Levine, Regular Contributor
I've been thinking a lot recently about the depth and complexities of a human being. As a race we have learned to understand and explain these complexities and everyday situations in our lives by using well-known quotes or sayings, truisms, or mantras. It's so important and necessary for us as a people to understand the guy next door, the actions of our good friends, and the things we all go through. Yet, often times, rather than trying to simply understand, we move to judge.
One way we try to understand life is by using and writing quotes that broadly generalize common situations in people's lives. As someone who enjoys observing the human way, I thoroughly enjoy quotes about life! Although sometimes cheesy and seemingly cliché, it's not only what is touched on in the words of the quote that's meaningful, but more importantly, how it makes an individual feel inside. It's really important to appreciate that this feeling is unique to that person and that person only. This feeling is a culmination and effect of all the past experiences in that person's life.
So personally, I enjoy reading famous, philosophical quotes because of how instantly it can open the gates to examination of one's own life. Yes, quotes relay good advice and inspiration, but they also produce major self-reflection. When we read a quote, first we relate its meaning back to ourselves and our own lives. Does this quote relate to me? Does it relate to my situation and who I want to be or my life and how I feel? And if not, we can move onto the next quote until we find one that does.
Two people can read the same quote and feel two completely different things. It can portray a strength one person has, a fear of another; for someone else it can connote a constant fight, and for someone else the quote might not be relatable at all. After reading a list of quotes, the one that speaks to you the most, makes you feel something off the bat, can instantly shine light on a struggle present in your life, or inspire you to engage in an act you've been hesitant about. A quote is only meaningful if it ignites something inside of you, that's its sole purpose. If a quote helps you stop, think and reflect on your life, it has done its job.
There's this quote I heard once and for whatever reason, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I knew I wanted to remember its meaning for the rest of my life, and I want to share the lesson with all of you. The famous quote by poet Maya Angelou, one many of you have probably heard before, is this:
"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."
It's so simple, yet meant so much to me. It's so general, but so unforgettable. Here's what it triggered in me.
With so much going on in our lives, it's so easy to disregard that a person hugged you at a certain moment, or texted you something sweet, or smiled at you during a tough time, but you will always associate that person with making you feel good or warm inside: that someone cared about you, worried about you, gave you strength, or gave you hope. It is not only the actions we go through every day, but it is the purpose behind those actions; it is the intentions of the smile, the pat on the back, the nice text, or the "how was your day?" Never underestimate the way you can make someone feel, the impact you can have on someone, the power of your words, and the significance of your actions. And isn't it true that somewhere inside, you always remember if a person you've come in contact with made you feel nice and safe or weird and uncomfortable? The people around you will never forget that, and you shouldn't either.
The same way a quote gives us a special feeling, so do the people we come in contact with in our lives. A feeling only we can understand. A feeling inside that may be completely different from the next person, due to our different journeys and experiences. No one will ever be able to understand how someone makes you feel inside except yourself. It's impossible to fully comprehend the complexities and special little intricacies of other people's relationships. The act of defining someone else's effect on another person and vice versa can be hurtful. The way another person makes you feel is dear to you and only you and should never be defined by someone else. Never underestimate your ability to brighten someone's day with one gesture, or tear it down with one word. Never underestimate the depth of a fellow human being, and be weary of those that try hard to define you. Everyone deserves to be understood, but never limited to a definition.

All good things, and some mediocre things, must come to an end. BuzzFeed is reporting that IAC — parent of The Daily Beast — won't be renewing Tina Brown's contract when it expires at the end of this year:
The decision has been made for the two sides to part ways, said the source, but precise details of the separation are still being worked out. According to this source, Brown… could end up taking the successful Women in the World conference with her as part of a severance agreement.
If this is the end of Brown's tenure at The Daily Beast, it'll likely be remembered more for the bad times than the good. Brown was a constant lightening rod for the media, which seized any chance it could get to point out what Brown was doing wrong. Brown didn't do much to help her case either, as evidenced by all the wacky Newsweek covers she authorized.
Brown's departure will surely kick "The Daily Beast is dead" rumors into high gear. The site is on pace to lose $12 million this year, so don't be shocked if IAC decides to sell or completely shut it down.

Playing compressed music recorded to recordable and rewritable DVD discs seems to me to be the most logical path forward for the consumer electronics industry.
Compressed Audio on Writable DVD – Why Not?
Hugh Bennett
EMediaLive, June 1, 2002
Confronted by two mutually incompatible recordable (DVD-R/+R) and three rewritable formats (DVD-RW/RAM/+RW), do DVD consumers have compelling reasons to buy any of them? Sure, personal video editing may appeal to those with time to kill, and DVD data storage may be convincing to the few with more information than can fit onto a couple of CD-Rs. But for the rest of us, far greater promise for writable DVD lies in audio applications. Playing compressed music recorded to recordable and rewritable DVD discs seems to me to be the most logical path forward for the consumer electronics industry.
Until their recent adoption of compression technology, consumer audio products hadn't experienced significant change in years. But thanks to MP3, WMA, and other schemes, new designs have emerged employing a variety of digital media such as flash memory, hard drives, and the leader of the pack, CD-R/ RW discs. One compressed CD-R/RW disc holds as much as 20 ordinary CDs and can transform a single, compact, and only slightly modified player into a virtual multi-disc changer.
But how much more attractive would be devices that could also play compressed files from writable DVDs? While a CD-R/ RW may hold a handful of audio CDs, a writable DVD disc can accommodate hundreds of compressed CDs and, in the case of DVD-R, at a modest cost. Even sonic purists could celebrate since DVD's enormous capacity can hold a fistful of CDs in their original uncompressed PCM state. And this capability would greatly enhance writable DVD's consumer appeal.
The potential to hold entire music collections on a single inexpensive disc offers staggering possibilities for all manner of audio products ranging from boom boxes and personal players to home component, bookshelf, executive, ultra-micro, clock radio, and shower units and even to mobile car and marine devices. And, thanks to dual-laser optical pickups, each device could be made truly universal playing not only compressed DVD discs but regular audio CDs and CD-R/RW discs as well. No other digital storage technology even comes close. This potential, however, has been ignored by the manufacturers' video-centric DVD thinking. The failure of the optical storage and consumer electronics industries to appreciate the audio potential for writable DVD is nowhere more apparent than in the designs of their DVD-Video players. Granted, many DVD-Video devices already play compressed audio files written on CD-R or CD-RW discs. Coupled with on-screen interfaces and home theater amplifiers with high performance speakers, set-top DVD-Video players now have all the makings of formidable home audio devices. Even portable DVD-Video players could serve up a potent entertainment mixture on the go. Given these innate qualities, it seems only natural that DVD-Video devices that play compressed audio files from CD-R/RW discs should do the same from writable DVDs.
To test if MP3-enabled DVD-Video players could indeed read compressed audio files from DVD discs, I recorded a couple of suitably formatted DVD-Rs and tried them in a dozen name-brand DVD-Video players. The results were not encouraging. Most of the units returned cryptic messages declaring that the discs were unrecognizable while one ill-mannered player had the audacity to lock-up. Surely, manufacturers can't be that short-sighted when they design their products. Phone calls to some of the companies involved confirmed my worst suspicions. Most seemed genuinely puzzled at the suggestion that anyone would want to play MP3 tracks from DVD discs.
The inability of MP3-enabled DVD-Video devices to play compressed audio from writable DVD discs reflects part of a design limitation which also prevents units from reading DVD-Video content written on CD-R and CD-RW discs. Even though a disc may be recorded in the correct logical format and contain supported filetypes, the DVD-Video player is programmed to accommodate only a few format possibilities based on the physical construction of a disc. As soon as a player determines that a CD has been loaded, the machine assumes it to be a Red Book audio disc or, in some cases a VideoCD or MP3 CD-R/RW. Similarly, when the player encounters a DVD, it presumes that the disc is a DVD-Video title.
In all fairness, current DVD-Video players don't deal well with compressed audio files. There are more issues to be resolved, of course, than simply supporting MP3 DVDs in order to broaden consumer appeal, such as primitive file navigation and unfriendly interfaces. Fortunately, improvements are coming thanks to OSTA's MultiAudio specification and proprietary efforts such as Planetweb's Digital Audio Manager. However, neither of these approaches requires reading compressed audio files from specific types of media, including writable DVD discs, so manufacturers are free to continue with their unimaginative ways.
Rather than engaging in meaningless debate about whose technology is best or who has the greatest market momentum, writable DVD product initiators like Pioneer, Philips, Matsushita, and Sony should spend their time thinking realistically about the desires of the purchasing public. And with even the FBI and the CIA now expected to communicate, the age of convergence dictates that normally separate, insular computer and consumer electronics divisions of these companies devise mutually beneficial product strategies. Exploiting the potential for compressed audio on writable DVDs would be a good place to start the revolution.

Matheny considers Girardi friend, mentor
CINCINNATI -- The Yankees come to town for a three-game series beginning on Monday, and while much of the attention is on the Derek Jeter farewell tour, this also will be a series that pits former teammates as now opposing managers.
New York manager Joe Girardi closed his 15-year playing career in St. Louis, where he appeared in 16 games in 2003. Mike Matheny was the Cardinals' primary catcher that season.
Girardi became a big league manager before Matheny retired as a player, which is why the third-year Cardinals skipper sought out advice from Girardi upon being hired as manager by the Cardinals in November 2011.
"I'm a fan of Joe Girardi and how he goes about things and how he has handled a lot of adversity, how he's handled success," Matheny said. "I think our guys have a mutual respect for the game, a mutual respect for how it's supposed to be played, and how they're supposed to represent their franchise and their city. I think that's a great compliment.
"He's kind of been a resource since I got this opportunity. We have a lot of similarities, I think, in our thought processes, and just in general. It was nice to be able to be teammates and watch how he went about his business, and now kind of watching and following ever since he started managing."
The Yankees and Cardinals have combined for 38 World Series championships, and both have won more than any other team in their respective league. They also are two of four teams to be multiple World Series champs since 2000.
While the Cardinals will welcome Jeter to town with a sendoff gift for his impending retirement, former Cardinal Carlos Beltran will not be making the trip to St. Louis. He remains in New York while rehabbing an elbow injury. The Cardinals had planned to present Beltran with his 2013 National League championship ring had he made the trip.

The jaw-dropping transformation of the "Biggest Loser" had viewers debating her new skinny figure.
Rachel Frederickson, 24, of Stillwater, Minn., walked onstage during the NBC-TV show's live finale Tuesday night alongside a hologram of herself when she first appeared at the beginning of the season.
On the left was Frederickson's image at her starting weight, 260 pounds. On the right, was a very thin Frederickson at her current weight, 105 pounds. She had lost 155 pounds — 59.62 percent of her body weight since the show started filming in late June.
She also had the highest percentage of weight loss of the three finalists, making her the winner of the $250,000 grand prize.
During the finale, when cameras turned to "Biggest Loser" trainers Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper after Frederickson walked out on stage, both appeared surprised at the contestant's dramatic transformation. That image quickly made the rounds on Twitter.
Frederickson's dramatic weight loss and new skinny figure caused plenty of debate on social media. While some came to her defense saying she had to lose a lot of weight to win and that she would probably put some back on after the show, it appeared more were concerned that she had gone too far with her weight loss questioning the ethics of the show and its message to impressionable viewers.
The other two finalists looked like they knew Frederickson won just by looking at her. Oklahoman David Brown lost 54.28% of his body weight going from 409 pounds to 187 pounds, while Bobby Saleem of Chicago lost 52.51% of his body weight going from 358 pounds to 170 pounds.
Over her 14 weeks at the "Biggest Loser" ranch (which was filmed in the summer and early fall), Frederickson lost 110 pounds and returned "home" for a few months before the finale, where the entire cast from the season was reunited.
Frederickson had been a three-time state champion swimmer for Stillwater High School and was offered scholarships to several colleges before deciding to quit the sport and move to Germany with a German foreign exchange student she was in love with.
After the relationship didn't work out, she moved back to the United States, eventually ending up in Los Angeles and working as a voiceover artist. Over the course of six years, she gained more than 100 pounds.
Frederickson proved to be a fierce competitor on the "Biggest Loser," winning tough challenges, including a triathlon, bobsled race and curling match.

For those who don't know, All Night Nippon was a special version of SMB, released only in Japan, that changed the enemies and NPCs to various DJ's of a radio show with the same name.
To recreate some of that feeling, what we'll be doing is replacing every enemy and NPC with members of our forum. However unlike the previous mod, which was purely graphical, we're going to see about making this it's own thing. Instead of being purely cosmetic, I'll be allowing custom enemies, so you can literally act like how you want to be shown in the mod. A mappack will also be involved, which I will be allowing more creative freedom than last time. And any ideas that can't be taken care of with SE will be asked to modded in by those who've shown interest.
So this is where you come in. If you want to be part of this mod, it'll be similar to last time. A few basic things.
We will be using SE beta8 for this mod, as I've heard it's the most stable. The link is here for anyone who doesn't have it:
There will be 3 separate part to this, and since I have to explain all in detail, I'll put each in spoilers. So here we go.
Enemy Wise:
- I plan to use a default tileset, which I explain below this list. When released use that.
- You must be in good standing with the community. Being new does not eliminate your chances, but it may significantly lower them.
- Using an OC (original character) is best, but this will be judged case-by-case. No terrible mario/sonic recolors.
- Don't post what spot you want if you plan to be an enemy. Make the sprites completely and then post.
- In the case of replacing NPCs (Peach, Toad) and coin blocks: First come first serve. Make them fast but make them good if you want these spots.
- Due to SE's custom enemies we are not limited to who can be what enemy-wise. This is why I ask you show your sprites when you want to apply.
- Make sure to include a .json file if you want to be a custom, or say what type of enemy if you want it to be a straight replacement. If nothing other than sprites is shown I'll assume you want to be a goomba.
- At this time I'm NOT accepting replacements for power-ups. I apologize to Trist3D in advance.
With sprites they will have only one restriction: The color palette. You're only allowed to use the NES color palette. However you can go crazy on which colors and how many you use. Just only use the colors on that palette. It's provided in the spoiler below
Now I know everyone can't sprite. I ask that you take your best crack at it, but if you can't you are able to seek those who can for help. Just be polite about it and keep it through PM's.
But I do want to at least see some effort on your part to be in this thing.
And for those who were part of the old mod, if you truly want to you are allowed to just bring those sprites over and use those. I'll happily accept them.
Also I am going to allow anyone and everyone to be Mario this time around. It'll be the same thing with the enemies: Make it yourself and provide the sprites. Do not ask for reservations. This is due to the fact that I am not going to bundle the characters with the mod. Instead I'll advertise them in this post once some are made and you can download whichever ones you want.
And you can have both an enemy and a character. One of each. Just up to you to show the effort for it.
Mappack Wise:
It'll be run similarly to how I ran it before but I will allow much more freedom. Follow these guidelines: -make this a quote-
- You'll be limited to 22 normal tiles and 22 animated tiles. These cannot be exchanged in anyway. You can use any attributes to your tiles. This will allow both creative freedom yet also restrict you to the main tileset at the same time. This should allow some creative levels.
- You can make as much levels as you want to contribute. But each MEMBER will only be allowed the 22 tiles of each category regardless of how many they make.
- You are allowed to use everyone else's tiles as well. But you should focus on a basic level design at least so you're not relying on others, then build up from there as more tiles are added.
- Tiles will be required to follow the color palette rule too
- I plan to keep the map mostly platformer, but add puzzles and stuff if you want. Just don't make them borderline Kaizo.
- I reserve the right to edit levels to make any changes, or just flat out refuse it's inclusion.
- I want a story added, and also some world themes. Post some suggestions for both.
- No 4th wall levels or referencing anything outside the Marioverse.
I'm also looking for a default tileset at this time too, with some things like basic land tiles for grass fields, underground, and castle. Some portal-ish tiles would be nice too. Also I have heard some people mention world theming, IE W1 is Grass, W2 Desert, etc etc. If we have world themes then I'd love a hand at some default things for those too.
Modding Wise:
If you read that all I understand that was quite a lengthy read and I apologize but I do thank you for your time, and if you choose to join I can't wait to see some wonderful contributions from all of you. Let's keep this thread nice and clean and have a great community project here.

Yes ait was when I took the pic Laura. 30 minutes later, it got windy and the snow quickly fell from the trees. It was windy until late afternoon when I went to take the lake/pond pictures.
I bet it was still and silent. Looks so beautiful!
Thank you cevas, roseheather and Monica.LOL, I will do that Monica.
Love these two pics, wonderful Sandy just so lovely to see! Please, promise me you'll go out and make a snowball for me and throw it at something or somebody! Please? L.O.L...Monica
Wow, a beautiful picture of the fresh snow. Something about it, when it is first on the ground and branches. Such a wonder.
Great picture!! Thanks Chickie. Wonderful sky and the light shining on the snow!!!
Thank you robryan.

Sandy-What an awesome picture this is! Just love the light on the snow, the faint snow on the tree, the very, very blue sky. Great shot.
Thank YOU Hanne.
Then it's FINE!! Thanks so very much Sandy!!
Wow Ank! Excellent observation. Exactly south east! The snow is not a problem. Only about 3".
Thank you gnt.
Very beautiful Sandy. Am I wrong if I think the photo is taken to the south-east. The lens often sees more than our eyes, the first light came in. I hope the snow is not too much. Thanks
Thank you goingsilver, JiggyBelle and young man. Waking up to the snow surprise made me smile this morning young man.
very nice photo chickie
Again with the white stuff. What did Phil say about winter this year? Nice shot but loose the cold stuff already.
Great sky, too, Chickie!
Beautiful photo chickie!
Thank you morris, jcarroll and Michelle.The sky looked almost black to me while taking the photo. I was surprised to see the blue when I saw it on the computer. It was 6 a.m.
Ditto, Sandy! I just love the sky colour and how the tree edges are so crisp against it. So glad that you got your snow...lol.
Great picture, chickie!
Great photo, chickiemama!!! I love the sky on this one!!!

The comments by George Bodenheimer to the Financial Times signal efforts by the network to boost its European audience, analysts say.
BSkyB and Setanta hold the UK rights to show live Premier League games until the end of the 2009/10 season.
The duo paid a record £1.7bn for the three-season contract.
BSkyB is paying about £4.8m per game and Setanta £2.8m under the deal.
The league also agreed a new £625m deal for overseas television rights, swelling the coffers of Premier League clubs.
'Top product'
Mr Bodenheimer described the league as "fabulous property" for a broadcaster to have.
"We're going to work on getting as local as we can. We want to deliver product that is relevant in each country," he told the FT.
"It's a country-by-country approach. We want to be investors wherever the top sports product is."
ESPN currently reaches about 10 million homes in Europe, but winning rights to the Premier League would encourage a much bigger take up, observers say.
It would be likely to face tough competition - with both BSkyB and Setanta seeing football as a key asset in winning and retaining subscribers.
Disney-owned ESPN has been on a spending spree, recently boosting its online sports presence by buying cricket website Cricinfo and rugby site Scrum.com.
In the US it has long-term deals to broadcast the country's three key sports - American football, baseball and basketball.

How is a Laser Beam Different From a Tactical Flashlight?
Light is very useful. The presence of light helps us to become more productive and thus, accomplish more. Take for example, tactical flashlights are multi-purpose torch lights in compact packages. Laser beams are compact too, and are use for other special and daily tasks as well. Both are portable light sources, but what's the difference between the two?
The main difference
To settle it once and for all, the huge difference between a tactical flashlight and a laser beam is the light concentration. Tactical flashlights emit light that is less concentrated and far more spread out compared to the thin and precise light emitted by laser beams.
Differences in common usage: How is it used?
- Lasers are a lot more precise than flash lights, which make them best for meticulous work. Laser beams have a lot of uses for medicine, metal, and entertainment technologies. The precise and often invisible but highly concentrated light has the energy to make precise cuts on metals, or for reading CDs in classic CD players. The most common lasers have a red or green visible light, often use for pointers in presentations.
- Tactical flashlights on the other hand are more commonly used. It is generally used to light up a dark or dim area, and may have a place in basically any part of our daily lives. It could be used in fixing your car, finding lost or misplaced documents, lighting up a dark path, and even blinding a potential aggressor for self defense.
Speaking of self defense, these two have more specific purposes for shooting. Here they are:
Differences for self-defense: Which is better for shooting?
- Did you know that laser beam lights and tactical flashlights could be mounted on guns for shooting? Laser beam emits a green or red light that is good for marking the target. It's a great accessory for beginner shooters, as you only have to have night vision glasses to see them. Basically, once mounted on the gun, all you need to do is point the laser beam at the target, shoot, and you got it! It's perfect for equipping beginners with precise shooting skills despite zero or minimal training.
- However, if you really want to train someone to be great at shooting for the long run, laser beams may not be the best. Because once you've been using it for a long time and you go shooting without it, the aim has a high probability of being bad. On the other hand, some mount tactical flashlights on guns to have a better view and awareness of their surroundings. Shooting in the dark could make a shooter blindsided. The disadvantage of this however, is it is good for practice, but not exactly for real-life situations, as turning on a tactical flashlight would mean broadcasting where your exact location is.
Lastly, it is also important to know that tactical flashlights could serve more daily purposes compared to laser beams, depending on what you do. As tactical flashlights illuminate, while laser beams are mainly used for tasks that require precision. Tactical flashlights are often made to be sturdier too and are often sold for a higher price. If you are thinking of buying one of the two, consider your purpose first.Continue reading
