Patterns of wave amplitudes, linear flow velocity, turbidity, sedimentation and periphyton accumulation were quantified across two macrophyte beds of contrasting architecture and adjacent unvegetated sediments, in Lake Veluwe, The Netherlands. Within both a Chara aspera- and an Alisma gramineum-dominated bed, wave amplitudes were progressively reduced. Vertical profiles of linear velocity in the two vegetations were significantly different from each other and from profiles measured outside the vegetation. Compared to unvegetated profiles, flow over the Chara-bed was more rapid in the upper 20 cm of the water but then dropped rapidly. In Alisma, maximum velocity at the surface was already lower than outside the vegetation. The denser Alisma-bed had a higher biomass (125 ± 15 g AFDW m-2, mean ± standard error) than the Chara-bed (28 ± 1), it filled the whole water column, and rapidly reduced light attenuation (Kd) from 6.4 ± 0.4 outside to 2.3 ± 0.3 m-1 within the vegetation. Also in the Chara-bed, light attenuation and sedimentation rates were significantly reduced (light attenuation: 1.2 ± 0.1 versus 2.7 ± 0.1 m-1; sedimentation: 2.6 ± 0.3 versus 7.7 ± 0.5 mg dry weight cm-2 d-l, averaged over the growing season). The dense Chara vegetation of 10-20 cm height effectively lifted the resuspensive turbulent shear stress above the sediment surface, thereby trapping settled material.

Popular Gender Topics In The World
Gender inequality in America is a popular topic of discussion on college campuses and in places of employment. It is also a huge topic of discussion in households. It's an issue that's at once intensely personal and impersonal. Gender affects nearly every facet of life, from the way someone will be treated in a place of employment to the way someone will be treated in the house that they develop together with someone they marry. How the world sees us still in large part depends on whether we are born male or female.
Gender inequality in the workplace has been a recent hot topic and is a very important social issue in general. Because women are typically paid less than men, they often have more trouble surviving on their own in society. While nearly everyone universally agrees that this is wrong, when the problem is reduced to a microcosmic level, no one even notices that it's happening right in their own office. The question is always how to take these very common everyday problems of inequality and change them on a universal scale.
And then there's the very personal topic of division of chores at home. Gender inequality has often reared its ugly head here, too, as women who work full-time jobs are often expected to do full-time work at home as well, while men are expected to work hard at work and that's it. Some women have argued that the war for gender equality has left them with TWO jobs instead of one. Instead of dividing labor equally, they're stuck doing double the work.
The question at the end of these personal and impersonal topics is always how to inspire change. The articles themselves are the first push for change and serve as an important tool for getting the word out about these issues. They DO exist and people need to be aware of them. With increased awareness of gender inequality issues, people can slowly begin to work on amicable solutions to the problem. For the personal problems, couples can seek counseling and learn how to help each other more effectively. For the social problems, legislation and protests can do some good.
At the end of the day, men and women share a world together. They deserve to pursue happiness on their own terms. The question is how to allow this to happen without discouraging either gender from their goals.

New Delhi: Despite being turned down recently, Delhi's lawyers aren't taking "No" for an answer. In the High Court today, they argued anew to be exempted from the new traffic rules for the capital that ban private cars on alternate days -a scheme dubbed "odd-even" because cars with license plates ending in odd numbers are allowed on the road on odd-numbered dates, and those with even-numbered license plates on the other days.
The two-week trial, launched on January 1, is aimed at checking the toxic smog in the world's most polluted capital.
Last week, the High Court had refused to make an exception for lawyers, pointing out that doctors, for example, are also obliged to follow the new rules. Cars with women driving alone are exempt, as are two-wheelers -an exception questioned by many experts.
The Chief Justice of India, TS Thakur, has been carpooling to work with another judge, though he is exempted from the restrictions. His contribution to the scheme has been publicly praised by Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
Undeterred, three different lawyers today (including the president of the Delhi High Court Bar Association) told judges today that because lawyers need to reach different courts in the city, and often have to carry "bulky" books and bags, public transport and carpooling are not suitable.

Room By Emma Donoghue. Picador, £7.99
Jack is as excited as any child when he awakes on his fifth birthday. But his situation is unlike that of most five-year-olds. As he describes the morning, it becomes apparent that he and his mother are trapped by the walls of a room and that he has never experienced anything else. Donoghue based her Man Booker-shortlisted novel on the Josef Fritzl kidnapping case, but has transformed her lurid material into a witty, disorientating narrative which is also a moving tribute to the bond between mother and child. Katie Owen
Christopher Isherwood Diaries, 1939-1960. Vintage, £18.99
Many never forgave Christopher Isherwood for abandoning Britain on the cusp of war. These enthralling diaries reveal how this gay pacifist instead sought self-realisation in California amidst a remarkable cast of Hollywood stars, hustlers and spiritual gurus. Self-absorbed, Isherwood none the less struggles with his demons in spare, luminous and merciless prose. Brilliantly acidic vignettes add welcome levity. Benjamin Evans
Star By Peter Biskind. Simon & Schuster, £9.99
This semi-official biography of the fast-fading Hollywood legend Warren Beatty is as disappointing as the film critic Peter Biskind's previous wider canvas books were indispensable. Stitching familiar anecdotes together with bland exposition, an uncharacteristically cowed Biskind seems content to tally up Beatty's sexual conquests – around 13,000 is his best guess – rather than truly take on his manipulative, unappealing subject. BE
The Blasphemer By Nigel Farndale. Black Swan, £7.99
Nigel Farndale's first novel is as idiosyncratic as it is ambitious. A double-decker narrative contrasts the moral dilemmas confronting Daniel, a zoologist whose plane crashes into the sea, and his great-grandfather Andrew, a conscience-stricken young soldier in the trenches of the First World War. Throw in a love story, terrorism and religious visions and you have a potentially rambling novel given shape and purpose by a true literary craftsman.The book both keeps you reading and makes you think. Sally Cousins
Spies of the Balkans By Alan Furst. Phoenix, £7.99
The spy writer Alan Furst's mastery of the passions and politics of the Second World War is again in thrilling evidence here. The setting is the Greek port of Salonika, the hero an ex-detective called Costa Zannis with a lot on his plate, from smuggling Jews to Istanbul under the eyes of the Germans to conducting a love affair of almost equal recklessness. The plotting and counter-plotting is as engrossing as the mastery of detail is lapidary. SC
Eating Animals By Jonathan Safran Foer. Penguin, £9.99
The novelist Jonathan Safran Foer has here produced an eloquent exposé of the horrors of the American food industry (and, by extension, our own). A new father, he mixes an unflinching investigation of battery-chicken farming and slaughterhouses with snippets of autobiography, including anecdotes about his Jewish grandmother, whose words sum up Foer's philosophical stance: 'If nothing matters, then there is nothing to save.'

It's been a while since we heard anything about our lovely Sonakshi Sinha. The pretty girl must have been busy signing scripts and god knows what? Last we saw her walking the ramp for JJ Malaya and she looked absolutely breathtakingly beautiful.
Just when we were wondering what happened to the lovely Dabangg girl, we came across this month's Cineblitz magazine.
Sonakshi Sinha has never looked this beautiful. Cineblitz December issue features Sonakshi as its cover girl and we are more than happy. While flipping through the pages, we further encountered a few more of Sona's looks. Sonakshi looked vibrant and elegant. Designer picked a range of gowns for Sonakshi; from trumpet to A-lines, Sonakshi was sporting every piece. Let's give you guys a visual.
In this piece, Sonakshi is wearing a lengthy golden gown with patterned designs. Everything else is kept to a minimum. The only lovely addition to the ensemble is the ankle-strap earrings.
Here, Sonakshi is wearing a black trumpet gown. She has added a pair earrings and highlighted the look with a dark lipstick shade.

Old Photograph Castlemilk Hall Carmunnock Scotland
Old photograph of Castlemilk Hall in Carmunnock within the boundary of Glasgow, Scotland. Castlemilk Hall and Reading Room were built in 1893. Carmunnock is associated with the early Christian missionary Saint Cadoc, has a medieval street plan set within the lands of an estate held by variously the Morays of Bothwell, the Earls of Douglas and eventually to the Lords, Marquesses and Dukes of Hamilton until 1700 when it passed to the Stuarts of Castlemilk. The Castlemilk estate was sold to Glasgow Corporation in 1938.

Blitz sat down with James Raggart, co-star of the play BLINK – a quirky, dysfunctional, voyeuristic love story, but a love story nonetheless.
Could you give us a brief summary of the play?
The play is about two young people from regional UK, who move to London for separate reasons. Through the use of a curious piece of technology – a baby monitor, they meet. They start a strange, virtual relationship, where one of them is watching, and the other is being watched on this screen. It becomes an exploration of what virtual love can mean. Eventually they meet in person and the idea of virtual love is compared to physical interpersonal relationships.
How is this play different to ones you've been in in the past?
The past few plays I've been in have been broad explorations of big meta-ideas. They were very dramatic, confusing and energising plays. This play is very gentle and very sweet. It's an exploration of some really curious notions of love, and humanity. So it's been a real pleasure to be involved in such an inviting play.
Given the couple's reliance on technology, the interactions between you and Charlotte must be so different from conventional plays. Was there any difficulty in creating the disconnected-yet-connected feeling in your interactions?
The interesting thing about this play is that the two of us share the stage the entire time, but throughout most of the narrative we're in separate universes. In a conventional play, often you'll be interacting with the person you're on stage with through dialogue and eye contact. For a lot of this play, we don't actually interact with each other! We're on the same stage, at the same time, but in the world of the play we're in separate places. We don't see each other or acknowledge each other's existence, until we physically meet. It was a challenge, but it was also kind of fun because it allowed us to communicate with each other as performers rather than actors. It was a quirky and fun experience.
"Love is not a cast-iron set of symptoms. Love is whatever you feel it to be, even if it's established through a baby monitor."
How do you feel about the increasing role of technology in our lives?
Throughout this story, there is a focus on communication through technology. Technology can often be represented as scary or something bad, but I wouldn't say it's necessarily bad as it provides a huge scope for communication. We can turn on a screen and learn about what's happening with people who are literally on the other side of the planet. On the other hand, these technologies also dilute our interpersonal relationships and our singular relationships in the real world. While technology can be really great, there is also a danger of minimising physical interactions – what was once our only means of interaction.
How do you think technology will influence relationships in the future?
I think the future of relationships and technology will be really interesting! We're already starting to see the influence of technology in relationships through dating apps and things like that, so it might be a really positive thing in terms of starting relationships. In broader terms of technological communication, it might limit us in terms of how far or how deep we can take those relationships until we can actually physically meet each other.
There's a lot of heavy themes in BLINK, from grief to loneliness. Does the technological focus change the way that these issues are portrayed and dealt with?
I don't think so. It just provides a different perspective of the themes. It certainly questions all of the themes in the same way, but probes different questions about the influence of technology on them. For instance, we have these two people who are interacting in a very different way and dealing with their ideas of love and grief in different ways. If the inclusion of technology is a way for them to deal with them in a way that makes them happy and content, then who are we as people who might not enjoy those things to question whether they're actually good or bad if they suit the people in the way they want to live their lives?
Why should people see BLINK?
At the end of the day, you come to see a play to be entertained. BLINK is one of those plays that's entertaining and also makes you think. It's a very soft and gentle way of exploring some very large themes. It's an inviting play that will definitely make you think as you meet some quirky and sweet characters.
Ice blocks or ice cream on a hot day?
Ice blocks
What are you obsessed with right now?
Slavoj zizek; he gives a psychoanalytical look at political things.
What single piece of technology would you bring to a zombie apocalypse?
A flamethrower would be useful.
What's a gadget you can't live without?
There is none.
What are you looking forward to?
Seeing where humanity ends up.

RepairPal Blog: Tips & Tricks
Helpful car maintenance advice and useful tips on all things car-related
Over the holiday break, I finally had enough time to do the little chores I've been putting off. My car was utterly filthy, and so cleaning it was on the top of the list. I generally use this one random brand of soap my father has in his garage, but this time I put my big boy shoes on and went to the store to purchase my own.
I am a pretty sensitive person. I have allergies to animals and dust. My threshold for pain is low. I am the pickiest eater you will ever meet. My eyes can barely tolerate sunshine and a loud noise is enough to make me jump out of my seat. Because of this, you can understand why taking a trip to Denver over the holidays left me feeling a little apprehensive.
Let me assure you ladies and gentleman, this is America and we do have a choice when it comes to maintenance. If you look at your maintenance schedule—you know, that book buried underneath all of the junk in your glove box—you will know exactly what maintenance you need and when you need it.
When you own a car, maintenance and insurance are requirements. Filling up with gas is also the nature of the beast. If you're on the road a lot, and you cringe every time you have to fill up, I have some great money saving gas tips to help you out. Here are a few things you can do today to get better gas mileage right away. In real estate they say location, location, location. In auto repair, we say maintenance, maintenance, maintenance!
Summer is over—the kids are back at school, the summer clothes are up in the attic, and your vacation days are used up. Now, you're ready to relax and chill out until the winter holidays get started. Surely there is nothing left for you to do until then … right? Not quite. This is the perfect time of year to start getting your vehicle ready for winter and the unique problems that cold weather brings. Breakdowns and starting issues can be much worse in lower temperatures, so make sure you are ready well before the first snow fall.
There are many wonderful things about living in San Francisco—diversity, good food, and the weather. And of course, there are drawbacks—rent that makes you want to cry, mainly. But one thing that is perpetually bothersome is parking on the street. Since I don't have an extra $200 for a covered, secure parking space (see: rent), every day I take my chances with street parking.
There is very little people actually agree on these days, but it would be damn near impossible to find anybody who actually likes speed bumps. We wouldn't tolerate that kind of thing in any other area of our lives. Imagine surfing the Internet and coming across virtual bumps that thwarted your progress (well, maybe all of those unwanted, annoying ads serve that purpose).
During my many years of working at a dealership service department, one trend I have observed is that whenever fuel prices go up, complaints about fuel economy also go up. The recent rise in fuel prices has also driven up sales of air filters, spark plugs, and routine maintenance. I must admit, OPEC is certainly getting more of my money these days. Twenty-two years ago, when my trusty Ford Ranger, affectionately named Betsy, was new, the fuel tank took less than 12 dollars to fill. Now, after a recent fill up, Betsy consumed 63 dollars worth—$63! My income has certainly not increased five times over the same period. The shock to my wallet makes me want to shriek.
Where I live, finding a parking spot is always an adventure. Sometimes I will find a spot right in front of my house—those are great days. Sometimes, like the other night when I got home at 11pm during a storm that no one was stupid to drive in except me, I will have a ten-minute walk straight uphill or downhill from the car to my house. But whether I score a sweet spot or one that feels like it's across town, the one thing I always have to contend with is parallel parking.
Over the past twenty years, I have worked with thousands of shop owners, so I know all too well what the bad, unethical shops do, as well as what the good guys do. If you want to make sure you are never ripped off by a repair shop, I can certainly help. If you want to find the right repair shop, you need to ask the right questions. When you do, it is imperative not only to pay attention to the answers the service advisor or shop owner provides, but to pay careful attention to how they respond as well. If they seem unprepared or uncomfortable when you ask these questions, there is a good chance you are speaking to the wrong shop.

I am back in Las Vegas after a week's vacation in San Diego, and so now it's time to get caught up. While we are building http://www.powerratedsports.com/ we have decided to place our CFL coverage here at the Bilo College Football Report as a temporary home to our coverage of a league that is completely underrated here in the States. The CFL is loaded with great talent that is playing for love, and for very little money comparitive to the NFL. What we have decided to do at Power Rated Sports, was that we would give the CFL a PRI of its own.
If you have been following this blog since the beginning, we have created a formula that I have used for almost 30 years to rank college football teams on every level. We will also be applying this formula to CFL football, NFL football, and College Basketball. Starting in 2012, we will be applying this to MLB as well.
So here is our PRI for week one of the CFL season, and stay tuned, as I will be posting week number 2 later this afternoon as well.
Enjoy our first edition of the CFL PRI for the 2011 season.
CFL PRI Edition 1
1. Edmonton Eskimos (256 Points)
Last Week: Defeated Saskatchewan 42-28
Road wins are huge, and the Eskimos used a road trip to Regina to take down the Riders by force, scoring 42 points in fine fashion. Ricky Ray was laserlike in his precision, completing 21/27 passes for 294 yards and 3 scores in the win. Kerry Joseph came on as a run specialist QB and ran for a score, while Daniel Porter rushed fo another. Adarius Bowman and Jason Barnes both busted over 100 yards receiving, while Barnes hauled in 2 TDs. JC Sherritt kicked off his rookie campaign with 11 tackles, and the Esk defense picked off 3 passes, and forced a fumble in the win.
Week 2 Opponent: Hamilton
2. Winnepeg Blue Bombers (232 Points)
Last Week: Defeated Hamilton 24-16
What a way to rebound off of a 14 loss season in 2010. The Bombers went on the road and stole one from the Ti-Cats after trailing 10-0 early in the game. Tough way to win, but the Bombers outscored the Cats 24-6 the rest of the way, and earned a tough win away from home. Buck Pierce struggled, only passing for 151 yards on 12/26 passin with a score and a pick. Fred Reid picked up the slack as he rushed for 87 yards on the day. The defense saved the day, as the offense was forced to punt 11 times. Safety Ian Logan picked off 2 passes on the day, and Mike Renaud averaged 42.2 yards on those 11 punts.
Week 2 Opponent: Toronto
3. Toronto Argonauts (225 Points)
Last Week: Defeated Calgary 23-21
It was all defense through 3 quarters, as the Argos led 10-6 entering the 4th, and then a shootout hit with the Argos getting outscored by the Stamps 15-13 in the 4th. The Argos held on for the tough road win behind the rushing of Cory Boyd, who ran for 100 yards and one score on the day. Cleo Lemon won the QB battle, and he stumbled through a very average day, passing for 187 yards and 1 score to go with 1 pick. Veteran PK Noel Prefontaine added 3 FGs on the day the thrid of which made the difference, as had he missed just one, the Argos would have fallen. DT Claude Wroten collected 2 sacks for the defense.
Week 2 Opponent: @ Winnepeg
4. Monteal Alouettes (184 Points)
Last Week: Defeated BC Lions 30-26
We won't bullshit you, as the Als really are the team that everyone has to chase in 2011, but they won at home, and damn near blew a 27-10 lead at the half, and the three teams in front of them either won on the road, or won more convincingly this week. That matters not, as Anthony Calvillo cruised in the first half with 3 ridiculous TD passes that made the BC secondary look like crap. Calvillo completed 22/30 passes for 312 yards on the day, and Brandon Whittaker made everyone forget about Avon Colbourne for the night, as he rushed for 119 yards and picked up some beautiful blocks on blitzes to protect Calvillo in the passing game. Jamel Richardson had a huge nught, catching 9 passes for 162 yards. Sean Whyte, acquired from BC, added 3 FGs on the night.
Week 2 Opponent: @ Saskatchewan
5. BC Lions (-128 Points)
Last Week: Lost to Montreal 30-26
BC looked like two different teams in the week one road loss. IN the first half, they looked young and dumb, making key mistakes offensively, while committing 3 penalites of 15 yards each before halftime. They found themselves down 27-10, buth then thundered back to win the second half 16-3, which still found them 4 point losers to the 2 time defending champs. Travis Lulay showed himself to be an emerging QB in this league, as he completed 26/45 passes for 366 yards, and he also led the team in rushing with just 27 yards. Better yet, he never turned it over, and found old reliable Geroy Simon 5 times for 115 yards.
Week 2 Opponent: Calgary
6. Calgary Stampeders (-181 Points)
Last Week: Lost to Toronto 23-21
Home losses suck, but Calgary was one of 3 teams to lose their home opener this week, so they shouldn't be lonely. Henry Burris was stymied in scoring range in this one, passing for 293 yards, but failing to ever find the endzone. He also was picked once to add salt to the wide home opening wound. The real kick in the ass? Robert Maver's 3 missed FG, any one of which could have won the game. Fucking kickers...
Week 2 Opponent: @ BC Lions
7. Saskatchewan Roughriders (-186 Points)
Last Week: Lost to Edmonton 42-28
The Riders tried to keep up offensively with the onslught that the Esks had unleashed, but Darien Durant was not up to the task. Durant completed 27/37 passes for 339 yards and 2 scores, but also tossed 3 picks in the game, which proved debilitating to the effort. The defense also had a great deal of trouble defending against Esk QB Ricky Ray and his constant rocket attack. Durant also lost a fumble in a very tough day at home.
Week 2 Opponent: Montreal
8. Hamilton Tiger-Cats (-192 Points)
Last Week: Lost to Winnipeg 24-16
Hamilton started off strong at home, leading 10-0 early, and then the wheels fell off the wagon. The Bombers came alive with a strong defense, and the Cats fell apart. Kevin Glenn fell to 0-5-1 in openers as a starter, and he tossed 3 picks to make it look extra ugly. Avin Colbourne did not score in his Cats debut, but did manage 75 yards rushing on the day. Quinton Porter did relieve Glenn for a time at QB, but completed 4/7 passes with a pick mixed in. Hamilton is sliding, while the Bombers are waking up. Bad sign. JustinMedlock nailed all 3 of his FGs. Small favor, or else this would have been a rout.
Week 2 Opponent: @ Edmonton
Player of the Week, Offense: Anthony Calvillo, Montreal
Player of the Week, Defense: Ian Logan, Winnipeg
Special Teamer of the Week: Noel Prefontaine, Toronto

Retributive karma and the problem of blaming the victim
- 597 Downloads
- Citations
A defining feature of retributive conceptions of karma is their regarding of suffering or misfortune as consequent upon sins committed in previous lives. Some critical non-believers in karma take offence at this view, considering it to involve unjustly blaming the victim. Defenders of the view demur, and argue that a belief in retributive karma in fact provides a motivation for benevolent action. This article elucidates the debate, showing that its depth is such that it is best characterized as a disagreement in form of life (in Wittgenstein's sense) rather than as a disagreement in opinions. Also briefly discussed is an example of a non-retributive form that belief in karma and reincarnation can take.

UFC 116 marked the return of Brock Lesnar from diverticulitis and an opportunity to face Shane Carwin. Lesnar, the heavyweight champion, and Carwin, the interim-champ, entered the ring with even odds in Vegas. The first round saw Carwin rock Lesnar with an uppercut and drop him to the canvas. Over three minutes of ground and pound left Lesnar bloodied and dazed, but still fighting. When the fight entered the four minute mark of the first round it marked Carwin's longest MMA fight and when the bell sounded on round one both fighters were still standing. Round two saw a winded Carwin unable to establish anything and Lesnar took him down to the ground – a place Carwin did not want to be given his winded condition. Everyone expected a series of hammer punches to follow once Lesnar achieved full mount, but he spun up to a triangle choke. It took about thirty seconds for him to fully lock it in, but when he did Carwin tapped to end the match. Once again Brock Lesnar is the undisputed heavyweight champion of the UFC.<

Should monetary policy take account of national labor market asymmetries in a currency union?
This paper investigates the design of optimal monetary policy in a currency union with asymmetric national labor markets. For this purpose a stylized theoretical two-country model is introduced where the occurrence of inflation differentials is a reflection of asymmetries in the labor market flexibility between the two countries. Through numerical simulations it is shown that a larger weight of the country with the more sclerotic labor market in the loss function of the monetary union's central bank is more advantageous at the monetary union's level than a simple weighting scheme based on the relative economic size of both countries.

|Judgments - Canada Trust Company (Acting In Its Capacity As Trustee of The Chrysler Canada Limited's Benefit Plan, The Chrysler Canada Limited Master Trust Fund, The Chrysler Canada Limited Non-Canadian Master Trust Fund and The Holme Foundry Division Master Trust Fund) and Others v. Stolzenberg and Gambazzi and Others
Miss Gloster said that all these reasons except perhaps the fourth were equally applicable to the question of whether the defendant had been sued. Mr Carr Q.C. answered by challenging each of the reasons in turn. The court's "involvement" was not much greater as a result of service than it had been before. The process server was not even a "relatively junior administrative officer". He was usually the postman. After service and until 14 days after service of a defence the plaintiff could discontinue without leave: see R.S.C., Ord. 21, r. 2(1) and C.P.R. Rule 38.2. The claim may still be in terms of the utmost generality when it is served. The defendant is no longer obliged even to enter an appearance after service. While it is true that interlocutory relief may be granted before issue of a writ, it is always upon an undertaking to issue one: see the observations of Nourse L.J. in P.S. Refson & Co. Ltd. v. Saggers [1984] 1 W.L.R. 1025, 1028. As for the question of whether the defendant is subject to the jurisdiction of the court, it depends what you mean by jurisdiction. English law regards anyone within the country on the date of issue of the writ as within its jurisdiction in the sense that he may be served with process and, if he goes abroad, an order for substituted service can be made. On the other hand, if he was already abroad on the date when the writ was issued, he can be served out of the jurirsdiction only under R.S.C., Ord. 11: see Wilding v. Bean [1891] 1 Q.B. 100 and Laurie v. Carroll (1958) 98 C.L.R. 310.
I do not think it is necessary for me to say more than that some of these reasons appear to me with respect to be better than others. Their weight should not be considered in the abstract but in the context of whether the time of issue or time of service is best characterised as the moment at which an English court takes jurisdiction over a defendant for the purposes of Articles 2 and 6.
8. The defendant's domicile rule
Miss Gloster laid some stress upon the fact that the basic principle of the Conventions is contained in Article 2, which requires the defendant to be sued in the court of his domicile. The European Court has said several times that the rule is for the protection of defendants and that exceptions should be strictly construed. Miss Gloster submitted that if your Lordships held that the requirement of domicile was to be applied at the date of the issue of proceedings, that would be somehow whittling away at the domicile rule. I do not understand how this can be so. To choose any date as the moment at which the defendant must be domiciled within the jurisdiction means that he does not have to be domiciled there on any other date. But that is an application of the domicile rule, not a denial of it.
9. Principle and pragmatism
My Lords, let us first consider whether it would be contrary to principle to hold that in English domestic law a defendant was sued at the time when the writ was issued. Such a contention seems to me quite impossible. C.P.R. Rule 7.2.(1) says that "proceedings are started when the court issues a claim form at the request of the plaintiff." If the proceedings have been started, then surely the defendant has been sued. Under the old Rules of the Supreme Court, it was a general principle that proceedings were started when the writ was issued. Of course there were exceptions, such as the Admiralty practice deriving from civil law (see The Helenslea (1881) 7 P.D. 57, as explained in Arab Monetary Fund v. Hashim (No. 4) [1992] 1 W.L.R. 1176 and also In re Foseco International Ltd.'s Patent [1976] 2 F.S.R. 244, in which a statutory context displaced the general principle. And Dresser U.K. Ltd. v. Falcongate Freight Management Ltd. [1992] Q.B. 502 is a striking example of such a case. But the Civil Procedure Rules appear to assume that the issue of the claim form will be the moment by reference to which the existence of the court's jurisdiction over the defendant will be decided. Paragraph 3.5 of the Practice Direction which supplements CPR Part 7 says that when a claim form to be served out of the jurisdiction is one which the court has power to deal with under the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 (i.e., under the Conventions) the claim form "should be endorsed with a statement that the court has power under that Act to deal with the claim." (My emphasis). A similar requirement existed under R.S.C., Ord. 6, r. 7(1)(b). And it is in accordance with this principle that the question of whether the court has power to order substituted service upon a defendant who has left the jurisdiction depends upon whether he was here when the writ was issued.
Next, are there any practical considerations which would make a choice of the date of issue of proceedings unsuitable to achieve the objects of the Conventions? In Mulox IBC Ltd. v. Geels (Case C-125/92) [1993] ECR I-4075, 4103, at paragraph 11, the European Court formulated a rationale for the uniform jurisdiction rules of the Conventions:
The majority in the Court of Appeal said that these objectives would be best achieved by choosing the date when the claim form was issued. If a defendant was domiciled in England on that date, the plaintiff would know that he could commence proceedings without the risk that they might be set aside because the domiciled defendant chose to remove himself before he could be served. Such an event would be outside the plaintiff's control. Miss Gloster said that this was all very well for plaintiffs, but took no account of the needs of defendants. They also needed to know that if they abandoned a domicile, they would not have to return to defend proceedings of which they were unaware at the time when they left.
Neither choice can be wholly satisfactory for both parties and your Lordships must consider where the balance of advantage and disadvantage lies. Who should take the risk of the defendant changing his domicile between the issue and service of the writ? Is it the plaintiff, who may have sought legal advice and incurred expense in launching proceedings in what was then the defendant's domicile? Or is it the defendant, who may find himself having to defend himself in a jurisdiction which he has already left? It is the plaintiff who will rely upon the defendant's apparent domicile in deciding whether to sue. He may, in so doing, incur very considerable expense, especially if there are, as in this case, heavy interlouctory proceedings before or together with the commencement of the action. It seems to me no answer to say that provisional measures ordered in England will continue to be effective even if the merits have to be tried elsewhere. The plaintiff will have made England the centre of gravity of his action. The English lawyers will be in general charge of the proceedings and the documents will be in English. It will be a considerable expense to have the whole action moved elsewhere.
The defendant, on the other hand, will not ordinarily have relied upon not being sued in England. Or if he has, it will be because he has deliberately left the jurisdiction to avoid being sued here. This is hardly deserving of sympathy. If he has left for a better reason and finds himself having to defend proceedings which were issued before he left, that may admittedly be a misfortune. But he will have incurred no wasted expense in another jurisdiction and England will be a country in which he was recently domiciled and with which he may be assumed to be familiar.
In my view the balance of advantage is in favour of adhering to the traditional English rule. On this point I agree with the majority in the Court of Appeal. On the remaining questions which were raised by the appeal, I agree with my noble and learned friend Lord Steyn and have nothing to add. I would therefore dismiss the appeal.
My Lords,
I have had the advantage of reading in draft the speeches of my noble and learned friends Lord Steyn and Lord Hoffmann. Some additional reasons for arriving at the same conclusion are very persuasively presented by Lord Hoffmann; but as not all these were the subject of full argument in your Lordships' House, I am content to say that I would dismiss this appeal for the reasons given by Lord Steyn.
My Lords,
I have had the advantage of reading in draft the speech of my noble and learned friend Lord Steyn. I agree with it, and for the reasons which he has given I too would dismiss the appeal.
It was recognised by the European Court of Justice in Zelger v. Salinitri (Case 129/83) [1984] E.C.R. 2397, 2408 and in the more recent case of Shearson Lehman Hutton Inc. v. TVB Truehandgesellschaft für Vermögensverwaltung und Beteiligungen mbH (Case C-89/91) [1993] E.C.R. 1-139, 186, para. 13 that the concepts used in the Convention may have a different content according to the national law of the courts in each contracting state. The court declined in Zelger's case to impose on the contracting states a uniform procedural rule which was not laid down in the Convention itself in order to identify the date at which the court of each state was "first seised" for the purposes of resolving contests of jurisdiction under articles 21 to 23. The rules of procedure of the contracting states are not identical. As Bingham L.J. said in Dresser U.K. Ltd. v. Falcongate Freight Management Ltd. [1992] Q.B. 502, 515, it is left to the national courts to apply the concepts defined in the Convention to their own procedure. It is plain that the same approach must be taken to the words "be sued" in articles 2 and 6 as regards the time for testing whether the court has jurisdiction on the ground that it is the court for the place where the person is domiciled.
The present case has been brought in the English courts. So it is the English rules of procedure that must be applied in order to resolve the question whether the correct date for determining whether the court has jurisdiction under article 6 of the Convention is the date of issue of the proceedings against the defendant who is said to be domiciled in England. These procedural rules are not the same as those which apply in Scotland, and the Scottish rules are not relevant to the question that is before your Lordships. Nevertheless I think that it is appropriate to draw attention to the position in Scotland in order to remove any possible misunderstanding about the effect which your Lordships' decision may have in that jurisdiction. I have in mind the comment by the European Court in Mulox IBC Ltd. v. Geels (Case C-125/92) [1993] E.C.R. I-4075, 4103, para. 11 that one of the objectives of unifying the rules on jurisdiction of the contracting states was to avoid as far as possible the multiplication of the bases of jurisdiction in relation to one and the same legal relationship by allowing the plaintiff easily to identify the court before which he may bring an action. It ought not to be assumed without further inquiry that the date which your Lordships have held to be the correct date for determining whether the courts have jurisdiction under article 6 of the Convention under the English procedure is the correct date according to the procedural rules of all the jurisdictions of the United Kingdom.
The equivalent step to that which occurs in England when the writ is issued is that which occurs in the Court of Session when the summons is signeted by a clerk of session under rule 13.5 of the Rules of the Court of Session 1994 and in the sheriff court when the warrant for citation is issued by the sheriff clerk under rule 5.1 of the Sheriff Court Ordinary Cause Rules 1993. In both courts this is an essential preliminary to the service of the summons or the initial writ on the defender, but in neither court is this in any sense a judicial act: Walls' Trustees v. Drynan (1888) 15 R. 359, 362 per Lord President Inglis. In that case the ground of jurisdiction was the arrestment of moveables - a ground of jurisdiction which was considered by Jenard, O.J.1979, C 59/19 and Schlosser, O.J. 1979, C 59/100-101 to be exorbitant and is not available under the Convention: Anton, Private International Law (2nd ed., 1990), p. 188. But when the summons was signeted the arrestment of the defender's moveable property had not yet been executed. It was held that it was not necessary for the court to have jurisdiction over the defender before the commencement of the action, which was when the summons was served. The court applied the rule that the date of the commencement of an action in Scotland is the date of the execution of service on the defender: Erskine, III.iv.3; Alston v. Macdougall (1887) 15 R. 78; see also Smith v. Duncan Stewart & Co. 1960 S.C. 329, 334 per Lord President Clyde.
In the report by the Committee chaired by Lord Maxwell which was appointed to consider the practical aspects of the application of the Convention in Scotland, Report of the Scottish Committee on Jurisdiction and Enforcement, H.M.S.O., 1980, para. 5.226, it was recognised that the date when the court is seised of the case for the purposes of articles 21 to 23 is the date of service on the defender. The view was taken that this rule was so well established that it needed no statutory amplification. Accordingly the decision in Dresser U.K. Ltd. v. Falcongate Freight Management Ltd. [1992] Q.B. 502 that the English courts are first seised of the matter for the purposes of articles 21 to 23 when the writ is served is consistent with the position as the Maxwell Committee understood it to be in Scotland, although the two jurisdictions differ as to the date of commencement.
The position in regard to the date for the determination of the defender's domicile for the purposes of articles 2 and 6 is less clear. In Greens Annotated Rules of the Court of Session, Parliament House Book, C 97, para. 13.2.8, it is stated that domicile for the purposes of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 is ascertained at the time when the cause is commenced, which is the time of citation. But the soundness of this proposition has yet to be tested judicially. It may need to be reconsidered in the light of your Lordships' decision that the words "be sued" in articles 2 and 6 should be interpreted as referring to the initiation of the proceedings.
A feature of Scottish practice which may be relevant to this issue is the rule which requires a pursuer to include averments in the condescendence annexed to the summons or the initial writ stating the grounds on which the court has jurisdiction over the defender. Rule 13.2 (4) (a) of the Rules of the Court of Session states that, in an action to which the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 applies, the pursuer must include averments stating the domicile of the defender (to be determined in accordance with the provisions of that Act) so far as known to the pursuer. Rule 7.2(2) of the Sheriff Court Ordinary Cause Rules states that the sheriff shall not grant decree without the attendance of the defender unless it appears ex facie of the initial writ that a ground of jurisdiction exists under the 1982 Act.
The Maxwell Report, in its commentary on article 20, paras. 5.201 - 202 states:
Accordingly a pursuer has not only to identify the Scottish court as the court before which he may bring his action before he presents his initiating writ to the clerk of session for signeting or to the sheriff clerk for the issuing of a warrant for citation. He has also, if he is relying on article 2 or 6 of the Convention, to include averments in his summons or initial writ as to the defender's domicile. And he has to satisfy the clerk of session or the sheriff clerk that his summons or writ discloses adequate grounds of jurisdiction under the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982. All these steps must be taken before the summons or initial writ is served on the defender.
As the Scottish rule is that the commencement of the action dates from the date of service, and not as in England the date when the writ is issued, the normal practice is for the summons or initial writ to be served as soon as it has been signeted or the warrant for citation has been issued. If a pursuer in the Court of Session wishes to delay bringing his action into court, whether for negotiations or for any other reason, he may do so between service and lodging the summons for calling under rule 13.13 of the Rules of the Court of Session. This is because the period of notice does not expire until a year and a day after service. For these reasons the point which has arisen in this case is less likely to arise in practice in Scotland, as normally there will be no opportunity for the defender to change his domicile between the dates of the issuing of the warrant for citation and service. If the point should arise the practical considerations to which my noble and learned friends Lord Steyn and Lord Hoffmann have referred, which favour the date when the writ is issued as the appropriate date at which to determine the defendant's domicile according to the English rules of procedure, are likely to be relevant to the question whether the date at which the defender's domicile is to be ascertained for the purposes of articles 2 and 6 according to the Scottish procedure is the date when the summons is signeted or the warrant for citation is issued by the sheriff clerk - which would be consistent with the position in England as to the date of the initiation of the proceedings - and not the date of citation when, under Scots law, the cause is commenced.
My Lords,
I agree that the appeal should be dismissed for the reasons given by my noble and learned friend Lord Steyn.
The point raised by the appeal, though important, was a relatively narrow one. It has not been necessary for your Lordships to resolve some of the difficulties, particularly for multi-party litigation, to which the present approach of English law gives rise. There is much of what my noble and learned friend Lord Hoffmann has said with which I would agree. But your Lordships do not on this appeal have to address the questions raised under Articles 21 to 23. Besides, if the Convention is to be revised it may well be that some of these provisions will be reconsidered.

Yes, Netburst really was that bad: CPU architectures tested
Subject: Editorial, General Tech, Processors | August 3, 2011 - 02:11 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: Netburst, architecture
It is common knowledge that computing power consistently improves throughout time as dies shrink to smaller processes, clock rates increase, and the processor can do more and more things in parallel. One thing that people might not consider: how fast is the actual architecture itself? Think of the problem of computing in terms of a factory. You can increase the speed of the conveyor belt and you can add more assembly lines, but just how fast are the workers? There are many ways to increase the efficiency of a CPU: from tweaking the most common or adding new instruction sets to allow the task itself to be simplified; to playing with the pipeline size for proper balance between constantly loading the CPU with upcoming instructions and needing to dump and reload the pipe when you go the wrong way down an IF/ELSE statement. Tom's Hardware wondered this and tested a variety of processors since 2005 with their settings modified such that they could only use one core and only be clocked at 3 GHz. Can you guess which architecture failed the most miserably?
Pfft, who says you ONLY need a calculator?
(Image from Intel)
Netburst architecture was designed to get very large clock rates at the expensive of heat -- and performance. At the time, the race between Intel and its competitors was clock rate: the higher the clock the better it was for marketers despite a 1.3 GHz Athlon wrecking a 3.2 GHz Celeron in actual performance. If you are in the mood for a little chuckle, this marketing strategy was all destroyed when AMD decided to name their processors "Athlon XP 3200+" and so forth rather than by their actual clock rate. One of the major reasons that Netburst was so terrible was branch prediction. Branch prediction is a strategy you can use to speed up a processor: when you reach a conditional jump from one chunk of code to another, such as "if this is true do that, otherwise do this", you do not know for sure what will come next. Pipelining is a method of loading multiple commands into a processor to keep it constantly working. Branch prediction says: "I think I'll go down this branch" and loads the pipeline assuming that is true; if you are wrong, you need to dump the pipeline and correct your mistake. One way that Pentium Netburst kept high clock rates was by having a ridiculously huge pipeline, 2-4x larger than the first generation of Core 2 parts which replaced it; unfortunately the Pentium 4 branch prediction was terrible keeping the processor stuck needing to dump its pipeline perpetually.
The sum of all tests... at least time-based ones.
(Image from Tom's Hardware)
Now that we excavated Intel's skeletons to air them out it is time to bury them again and look at the more recent results. On the AMD side of things, it looks as though there has not been too much innovation on the efficiency side of things only now getting within range of the architecture efficiency that Intel had back in 2007 with their first introduction of Core 2. Obviously efficiency per core per clock means little in the real world as it tells you neither about raw performance of a part nor how power efficient it is. Still, it is interesting to see how big of a leap Intel made away from their turkey of an architecture theory known as Netburst and model the future around the Pentium 3 and Pentium M architectures. Lastly, despite the lead, it is interesting to note exactly how much work went into the Sandy Bridge architecture. Intel, despite an already large lead and focus outside of the x86 mindset, still tightened up their x86 architecture by a very visible margin. It might not be as dramatic as their abandonment of Pentium 4, but is still laudable in its own right.
You should have thrown up an Atom and Llano CPU for good measure.
I had a p4 3.2ghz net arch cpu and it was fast as f at gaming but now its crud. Just goes to show how game programing has advanced to the point of massive prediction allgirithims, Just adding to latency:(
PS. Looks like AMD may have a better future in the desktop gaming market:) well lets HOPE so anyway <.
Limiting the system to 3 GHz is just nullifying the test in my opinion.
The newer architectures can handle far more because they do things so much faster and multi-core design is a MAJOR aspect of the innovations in pc hardware development. Single-core testing again, nullifies what seems to be a reasonable explanation.
For the sake of comparison, It would be marvelous to see a price/minute or performance graph as well to show launch prices, or pricing 6 months after launch compared across each generation.
It actually doesn`t nullify the test, it just measures something else. This says nothing about the performance of any part at any given point in time... just *what* they do to get higher performance.
Compared with the modern CPU, any CPU of the Netburst era is verry slow. That was the technology at that point. I doubt that an FX-55 or even the FX-57 (top CPUs at that time) will change something in this chart.
Netburst was indeed bad when launched, but in time became competitive with AMD and even if Netburst was launched in the time when AMD made Athlon / Athlon XP. Netburst continued to keep up with AMD in apps (not gaming) even when A64 launched.
In my opinion Netburst wasn't so bad at all, but was far away from what intel was capable to make / produce in those years.
So you've got a 2005 Netburst against 3 years later AMD at the nearest comparison...
Can you read? The point is to show how bad of a µarch design Netburst was, not to prove that 3 year old and newer chips can beat it "Just another Intel lie" only using newer chips to beat older Pentium 4's.
This comparison is clock for clock on a single core, and also has a 2007 dual core Atlhon 64 in the chart but again only using a single core, so it's essentially a 2003/4/5 Athlon chip slapping the P4 round like the POS it was.
was there ever a good reason why do they keep doing benchmarks with the worst revision in the pentium 4? willamette and prescott are the worst revisions of the pentium 4, and yet people still use those 2 pieces of shit to get the results...
if anyone had done actual research, northwood and cedar mill are the best revisions of the pentium 4. but what we have here is prescott prescott prescott?
the general knowledge a person would know of the pentium 4 is that it runs hot and is slow, even at 3GHz... but there was northwood.
the northwood at 3GHz (not counting the 400MT/s and 533MT/s versions) was quite competitive back in the athlon xp days of barton and thoroughbred-B.
heck i'd even pick a northwood if i had a good cooling system to start out with, the athlon xp was just not worth it for all-out performance.
but after northwood, which is prescott... intel just decided to attempt another clockspeed increase by installing 31 pipeline stages.
then things got downhill afterwards, till cedar mill showed up with its 65nm process. its technically a prescott with less heat production (allowing for higher overclocks), some or most cedar mills could get above 4GHz like most prescotts without requiring a good cooler on air.
now this comment wasn't ment to say how good the pentium 4 is, its just here to give people more insight of the pentium 4's revisions.
honestly, is a northwood or a cedar mill (D0 stepping with 65W TDP) that hard to find?
Good point about the cedar mill. The cedar mill P4s especially the 651 with D0 stepping was a solid chip. Unfortunately by the time they came out the Core 2 series was just around the corner.

"One fine day"
This was my first romance audiobook. Once I started it, I couldn't stop. Hence the fine day! I've read the previous books in this series but having this one read to me by Craig took the experience to a whole new level. There are editorial reviews in the other versions, and Cat's again given us a fine romance wrapped in an intriguing story, but I'd like to comment on the audio. I'm a fast reader, and realized as I was listening that I have a tendency to skip over stuff, and while the sentences carry meaning, my mind doesn't always interpret what they express. It's hard to explain. Listening to Craig breathe life into the words added another dimension to the story. I wasn't sure how hearing it in only a man's voice would be, but he his Sierra was great! I found myself smiling and laughing more with his inflections. I thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to listening to more, especially if narrated by Craig, in the future.
"Another hit for this series"
The story line was awesome and it just drew me in
Rick cause I've been waiting for his story and was glad to see him find a girl
how he does an amazing job with bringing the characters to live and remembers how he did their voices in previous books
This was so worth a credit and although a series you could listen to this one before the others but I would recommend you starting with book one so you can fall in love with all the guys.

Well my DSS is 4 and cannot take his medicine on his own so it is up to the adults to give it to him and she admitted to not giving it to him so I do know what happened as far as why he hadn't been taking it. He actually will ask for his medicine and is GREAT about taking it. He's like that with any of it though, even if he hates it, like some of his cough and cold medicine, he will still ask when he can take it or remind us throughout the day that he hasn't taken it yet. It's most definitely not any fault of my DSS on him not getting the medicine.
And I know that he's not exaggerating or faking anything because I know the pattern of what happens when his allergies are bothering him. The doctor explained to us over a year ago that the reason he is puking at night is because he's not in an upright position the mucous drainage is worse and then when the coughing starts, all the mucuous and phlem that is there, triggers the gag reflex, which causes him to puke. I never would have thought that allergies would cause stomach issues, but after she explained it to us, it made sense.
And I totally agree with you about the ER. I didn't want him to go for those same reasons, but my BF insisted on taking him because that's what his ex wanted him to do.
She was so dead set on him being deathly ill and needing to go to the ER, but she hasn't even called one time to check on him to see if he's ok. I'm not even going to try and figure that one out!
