Updated: April 16, 2013
Summary: Provides information about the Configuration.xml file for Click-to-Run for Office 365 products.
Applies to: Office 365 ProPlus
Audience: IT Professionals
The Click-to-Run for Office 365 Configuration.xml file is used to specify Click-to-Run installation and update options. The Office Deployment Tool is a downloadable tool that includes a sample Configuration.xml file. Administrators can modify the Configuration.xml file to configure installation options for Click-to-Run for Office 365 products.
The Click-to-Run Configuration.xml file is a necessary component of the Office Deployment Tool. Click-to-Run customizations are performed primarily by starting the Office Deployment Tool and providing a custom Configuration.xml file. The Office Deployment Tool performs the tasks that are specified by using the optional properties in the configuration file. For the Office 2013 release of the product, administrators can download the Office Deployment Tool from the Microsoft Download Center.
You use the Click-to-Run Configuration.xml file to perform the following tasks:
Add or remove products from the installation
Add or remove languages from the installation
Specify display options
Set logging options
Specify software updates behavior for Click-to-Run

If you don't specify SourcePath in configure mode, Setup will look in the current folder for the Office source files. If the Office source files aren't found in the current folder, Setup will look on Office 365 for them. SourcePath specifies the path of the Click-to-RunOffice source from which the App-V package will be made when you run the Office Deployment Tool in packager mode. If you do not specify SourcePath, Setup will attempt to create an \Office\Data\... folder structure in the working directory from which you are running setup.exe. |
Version |
188.8.131.52 |
Optional. If a Version value is not set, the Click-to-Run product installation streams the latest available version from the source. The default is to use the most recently advertised build (as defined in v32.CAB or v64.CAB at the Click-to-RunOffice installation source). Version can be set to an Office 2013 build number by using this format: X.X.X.X |
ForceDowngrade |

<Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" />
Language element
Specifies the languages to install.
<Language ID= "ll-cc" />
The following table describes Language element attributes and values.
Language element attributes and values
Attribute | Value | Description |
ll-cc |
Required. If the Language ID value is not set, the installation operation fails and indicates that the input is not valid. The ID value can be set to a valid Office culture language (such as en-us for English US or ja-jp for Japanese). The ll-cc value is the language identifier. |
For more information about language IDs (language tags), see Language identifiers.
Note: |
Language elements determine which product languages to install. Administrators must specify the languages they want to install. The first language determines the Shell UI culture. The Shell UI is the language of shortcuts, right-click context menus, and tooltips. If you decide that you want to change the Shell UI language after an initial installation, you have to uninstall Click-to-Run and reinstall. Add the language that you want to set for the Shell UI as the first language in the custom Configuration.xml file. |

JD #7 vs JB Black ....
Being up in Canada, I have very little experience with bourbon, although I do liike it straight. I have an old workshop out back where I fire up a wood stove in the winter and have a drink and a cigar about once every week or so.
This winter, I started in the fall with a bottle of Jack Daniels #7, first time I tried it and I really liked it. Then when the weather got cold, the bottle stayed outside and I tried it ICE COLD (like minus 15 degrees) in a frozen cold glass and it was great, better than before and I loved it. Got through that bottle by February and then I bought a bottle of Jim Beam Black, and I like that as well. Problem is, because of my limited experience with bourbon, I have difficulty comparing the two, actually I can't really remember how the JD compares to the bottle currently out there. So I guess my question is, how might I expect them to compare or taste relative to each other? Is one considered a "better" bourbon than the other? What sorts of flavours does each one have? As I said, I enjoy them both. |
Hmmm, obviouslly not much of a response, almost 100 views by now and not a single reply. So I went web hunting and found out myself ...... here's the answer, at least on one website ......
..... "Although there is a slight similarity in taste between Jim Beam and Jack Daniels, a taste for either liquor can be acquired after some period of time. There are however several notable differences between the two liquors. While Jim beam is bourbon, which is a whiskey type, not all whiskeys are bourbons. Jack Daniels on the other hand is a whiskey, sour mash for that matter. The two liquors are manufactured in a similar way although Jim Beam is Kentucky bourbon while jack Daniels is Tennessee liquor and it under goes charcoal filtration. Depending on tastes and who makes a review, reviews for either liquor can be greatly mixed, with some stating that Jim Beam is a best value in bourbon while others express their dislike of it. Most reviews though tend to give preference to Jack Daniels, although the ultimate choice will certainly rely on individual tastes. As far as cost is concerned, Jim Beam is relatively cheaper, costing an average of 27 dollars at your typical corner bar, which is almost half the price of most black label whiskeys. For states where liquor is **** in supermarkets, you will probably get it even at a cheaper price. Jim Beam whiskey is bottled in a square shaped bottle, with a black label. At the bottom of the label is a printed signature of Colonel James. B .Beam but although that is the case, the brand is not owned by the family of the late colonel but rather its run by a big corporation called Fortune Brands. Previously Jack Daniels was bottled at proof 86, which is the same for Jim Beam but the new one is bottled at proof 80 thus Jim beam is a higher proofed whiskey than Jack Daniels. Some drinkers find that 86 proof is slightly higher alcohol content than they can tolerate while others find it okay. The two liquors tend to have similar taste when first taken but as one develops a taste for both with time, they will discover that they actually taste quite different. However, both Jim Beam and Jack Daniels go through the same distillation of fermented corn mash kept in oak barrels for some time. Jim Beam is kept in the barrels longer than Jack Daniels, which may contribute to Jim Beams more woody flavor. While Jim Beam tastes more alcoholic and fruity, Jack Daniels has a mellower and smoother flavor and tastes less alcoholic and it is believed that the charcoal filtering process it undergoes gives it more of a maple flavor. Jim Beam has a brandy flavor, as if it is mixed with brandy". Summary: Jim Beam is classed as bourbon while Jack Daniels is a whiskey and although bourbons can be whiskeys, not all are. Jim Beam is far cheaper compared to Jack Daniels. Jim Beam tastes more alcoholic and fruity while Jack Daniels tastes mellower and smoother. Jim Beam is bottled at proof 86 whereas Jack Daniels is bottled at proof 80. |
i personaly think beam just taste cheap n nasty a bottle of heartburn lol!!
Mike B - Catching up on your question and forum a bit late (been on vacation to Australia and drinking Aussie & Tasmanian single malts). Anyway, there are many differences between JD & JB. JD is not a Bourbon for a few reasons. 1) Tennessee pride, 2) charcoal "mellowing", 3) by not making and labeling Bourbon, their mashbill doesn't need to be derived from the 51% corn minimum for Bourbon. To me, the JD sourmash gives JD a rougher bite than JB, making JB the softer and sweeter of the two. They are similar in mass production and being generally satisfactory - though no body should confuse them with being great whiskey. They are made for the masses, as is the case for most American whiskies. If you want to discover great Bourbons, you need to seek out some very small batch producers like Van Winkle and Black Maple Hill. Just because a Bourbon is labeled small batch doesn't mean it actually is, or is of superior quality. So, let sampling becomes your guide. If you can get it, try Old Weller as a comparison to JD. Also, Pure Kentucky XO and Willet Family Pot Still Reserve are very good for the money.

Very happy with these cellular shades. Purchased them for a spare bedroom and I am so happy with them that i will be purchasing more for my bedroom. Easy to install and operate. Delighted with this product and at 25 -50% lower than anywhere else I checked, they are a great bargain.
I got these blinds for the kitchen. I wanted to keep it bright but filter the light. They were easy to install, sturdy, and the up/down mechanism works great. I am very happy with this purchase and will probably use these to replace the remaining 2 windows in my living room.
I was hesitant to buy these shades. The price is very reasonable and usually with window coverings you get what you paid for. We have so many windows in our house it would take a small fortune to pay to have all the coverings installed so I took a chance and I'm glad I did. These shades are light but seem to be well-made and function smoothly up and down. The installation was easy. I inside mounted them and the brackets they come with have multiple ways to attach. I appreciated the option that allows you to slide the bracket slightly forward or backward to adjust the depth of the shade perfectly (instead of a small screw hole there are also longer channels that can be screwed into allowing you to slightly move the brackets back and forth before tightening them in place). I also liked that the mounting brackets are able to attach on the backside of the shades rather than on the ends. This allows you to order as close to the width of the window as possible, preventing large gaps on the sides for light to come through. These shades only soften the light and are not blackout ones but I am using them with curtains and together they shut out the light when I want but then I have the option to have diffused light as well. I highly recommend these shades.
They were pretty easy to install. Just had to put in 4 screws. Two in each bracket. The shades just snap into the brackets once they are mounted. The top down works well. The bottom is cordless and it works well to. Looks good. I am happy with the purchase.
Workmanship of the mechanism seems to be perfect - they fit my window exactly and are very smooth to operate. Received very quickly!
received the shade in timely manner. packing intact. Looks good and works well.
Very pretty shade and easy to use. I was lucky enough to just clam the shade into the excisting hardware from my old shades, that made it really easy. Beautiful product.
I purchased five of these for our living room. They installed very easily; I did purchase them 1/4" less than my opening. We inside-mounted them with mounting hardware above. They are simple, invisible when open, and look like the $200 version we are thankful we didn't buy!
This is my second order of these blinds. I've had the first batch for over 2 years and I am still very pleased with them. We needed blinds in our breakfast room so I just ordered these. I love how the filter the light, not block it. Plus, I love how minimal the stack is when they are when up. Hardly can tell there are blinds in the window.
I love these shades. They were super easy to install after the first one. It took me less than an hour to install 4 shades. I used a drill to make the holes and hand screwed them in.... simple. The only problem was the end pieces that will come out --make sure you install the brackets far enough in past these or the shade will not click in. Love em and have ordered more.

A Baroque Cornucopia
In Thursday's WFCR classical music, we'll broadcast several colorful and entertaining Concertos and Orchestral Suites by the greatest German Baroque composer of orchestral music, in honor of the anniversary of his birth. Wait a second, you might reply — isn't J.S. Bach's birthday next week, on the 21st? Right you are, my fellow Bachophile! I'm referring instead to old Sebastian's distinguished contemporary, friend, and godfather to one of his sons, Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767).
Wait another second, you might respond — when it comes to German Baroque music, isn't Bach the beginning, the end, the alpha, the omega, the Big Kahuna, the whole enchilada, and the one before whom all other composers must humbly bow down? Well yes, usually. But when it comes to orchestral music, I think that even the immortal Bach was outdone by Telemann. First of all, whereas Bach left a relatively (for him) small corpus of Concertos and Orchestral Suites (the two leading orchestral genres of the day), Telemann's work list includes over 120 of each (others may be lost) and well as dozens of works in other genres.
OK, so Telemann wins for quantity. What about quality? That's where Telemann's fecundity goes from merely impressive to downright amazing. For I've heard and broadcast dozens of these works. And I've yet to come upon one that didn't impress me with its invention, melody and wit. I especially get a kick out of his knack for unusual instrumental combinations, animating each instrument as if a character in a play. That's a knack he shares with Duke Ellington, who knew exactly for whom he wrote every note, as no doubt did Telemann. We'll hear that in today's first Concerto, featuring a front line of flute, the rare oboe d'amore and the even rarer viola d'amore. It turns up again in our second Concerto, fronted by flute, chalumeau (the folk ancestor of the clarinet), oboe and, coolest of all, two double basses whose agile contributions remind me of a pair of dancing bears. In our third Concerto, there's only one soloist, but when you've got a violinist who imitates a tree-frog on the make, who needs another? Then, later in the afternoon, we'll wrap up our birthday tribute with an Orchestral Suite featuring a pair of what may be the Telemann instrument par excellence, the Baroque horn. Speaking of cornucopia!
All right, Bach will get his due next Thursday. But today, let's doff our lids to a composer for whom music was all about pleasure, and didn't stint in providing it — the model of the composer-entrepreneur, beholden to his audience and customers while also producing durable art that has stood the test of time. Couldn't classical music use more like him today?

Colorado Center for Community Development's LiveWell Westwood program has been selected to participate in a $4.5-million initiative sponsored by the Colorado Health Foundation. Westwood was one of three communities chosen to engage in "Healthy Places: Designing an Active Colorado," a five-year project that will help this Denver neighborhood become a healthier place to live, work and play through an urban design process. Healthy Places aims to reduce and prevent obesity by fostering a built environment where it is easier to engage in daily activities that encourage movement and connection. Specific land-use issues that will be explored in Westwood include walk-ability, alley safety, a shortage of bike amenities, pedestrian-level lighting, and transit access.
Starting May 5, Westwood will participate in an advisory panel with the Urban Land Institute (ULI). The ULI panel will spend a week assessing Westwood's needs, interviewing stakeholders and making recommendations on designing communities that promote active living. After the panel process, Westwood will have the opportunity to apply for up to $1 million from the Foundation to implement their plans. Rachel Cleaves (MURP 2006), LiveWell Coordinator, wrote the winning project proposal and will coordinate the initiative. Carolyn McAndrews, Assistant Professor of Planning, will be the Principal Investigator.
For their final projects in the Introduction to Historic Preservation Class, students in the fall 2012 class taught by Jim Lindberg, Lecturer in Architecture and Field Director of the National Trust and Professor, focused on four current preservation issues across the state: Elkhorn Lodge in Estes Park, Louisville Grain Elevator, Sullivan Gateway at City Park Esplanade and East High School, and the Big Top Auto Marts in the Denver Metro area. Colorado Preservation, Inc. thinks they came up with some pretty interesting ideas.

RAF Museum – Hendon – London
Spent last Saturday to visit the RAF Museum in London. The museum is located at the former Hendon Aerodrome - one of the most important pioneering aviation centres in United Kingdom, and it's easily reachable with the Tube (Northern Line - Colindale station). As the number of air planes displayed is quite large, it will take some time to wander trough all the hangars and see all that's featured! Don't miss the Battle of Britain hall with a display of the most important airplanes who took part into the famous duelling above the skies of South England and London.

European champions Chelsea breezed into the FIFA Club World Cup final with a 3-1 defeat of CONCACAF Champions League winners Monterrey on Thursday.
The English Premier League team's triumph in Yokohama, Japan set up a tie with Copa Libertadores winners Corinthians on Sunday.
Goals from Spanish duo Juan Mata and Fernando Torres followed by an own goal from Darvin Chavez secured a comfortable victory for Chelsea's interim coach Rafael Benitez.
Mexico's Monterrey scored a consolation goal in the 91st minute, striker Jesus De Nigris running clear and firing a low shot past Petr Cech.
The win ensured Benitez will be taking part in his third Club World Cup final, having lost to Sao Paulo as Liverpool manager in 2005 before leading Italian side Inter Milan to the trophy in 2010.
Chelsea opened the scoring in fine style after 17 minutes, Ashley Cole playing a slick one-two with Eden Hazard before cutting back for Mata to find the bottom corner with a curling shot.
An early blitz at the start of the second half sealed Chelsea's place in the final.
Hazard was once again involved, bursting down the left flank before cutting back for Torres, who saw his low shot deflected into the back of the net.
Moments later Torres sprinted away down the same side and played a sublime pass to Mata, whose cut back was turned into his own net by Chavez.
Chelsea can now look forward to a tie with Corinthians, who defeated African champions Al-Ahly on Wednesday in front of 20,000 traveling Brazilian fans.
Monterrey will play Egypt's Al-Ahly in the third-place playoff prior to Sunday's tournament decider.
Cairo's Al-Ahly qualified for the competition by winning the African Champions League despite football in Egypt being suspended following the death of more than 70 fans in February's Port Said stadium disaster.

Great mattress
By New Momma
from Lynnwood, Wa
About Me Parent, Thrifty
This mattress has been great so far. It fit in the crib I purchased and the price is awesome. One of my girlfriends purchased $300 crib mattresses and this one feels just the same as those ones except for this one is water proof! The price and quality can't be beat!! And it's only 3lbs. Makes it so easy to change the crib sheet!!!!
Great mattress!
By xbubbles6679x
from New Orleans, LA
I am still pregnant, so I haven't actually had a baby sleep on this mattress yet. I will say that it is very light weight, fit perfectly in my new crib and seems to be of good quality. I hope baby likes it as much as I do!

Comfortable mattress but very thin
By Busy Mom
from Flint, MI
This mattress seems very comfortable but I was a little disappointed with how thin it was. It was a very good price but they only let me do in store pick up which was a complete nightmare. No one knew where my order was or how to deal with it. It took over 40 minutes for them to realize it got shipped to Toys R Us that was next door to the Babies R Us that I bought it at.

Placer County Animal Services cares for thousands of animals each year. Most are wonderful animals who are waiting to be adopted into a loving, caring and life time home.
This page allows you to search for lost and adoptable pets at the Auburn & Tahoe Vista Animal Shelters.
The Adoption fees for dogs include the cost of the heartworm test (for dogs over 6 months), first heartworm preventative pill, frontline, first distemper/parvo & bordetella vaccination, rabies if over 4 months, deworming, and microchipping. The Adoption fees for cats include the cost of feline aids/leukemia test, and first distemper vaccination, deworming, rabies if over 4 months, and microchipping. Come to a Center to Adopt a New Friend! If you did not find the animal you were looking for, try www.petfinder.com to view animals at local rescue groups.
Each animal receives vaccination upon intake unless they have a current license on them. Dogs receive, Bordetella (kennel cough), and DA2PP (distemper, parvo combo). Cats receive Rabies and FVRCP (feline upper respiratory) immunizations.
Animals are held 72 hours from the time of impoundment not including Sundays or holidays, unless they appear to be owned (ie. they have a collar with tags.) Then the hold period is 10 days not including Sundays or holidays. The holding period for livestock is 14 days. After the holding period the animals are put through a behavior evaluation to learn what type of home the animal would do best in. At that time dogs receive a Heartworm test and cats receive a FELV/FIV test. And then put up for adoption if they pass.
Under state law and county ordinance, animals adopted from Placer County Animal Centers in Auburn and Tahoe Vista must be spayed or neutered before they are taken home. This has proven to be an effective way to reduce animal overpopulation. The cost of pet spaying and neutering is included in the adoption fee, along with the cost of the other animal health care measures.
Check out Dumb Friends League's website for helpful behavior tips to help you better understand your pet!

Just before mobster Joey Arnello spills the beans in federal court and enters witness protection, he collapses. A court order instructs House to find out if he's faking. House and his team struggle to diagnose and cure Joey while Joey's brother Bill tries to slow things down and keep Joey from testifying. Meanwhile, Cuddy struggles to convince Vogler that House is an essential part of the hospital.
House must fire one of his doctors and leaves them to think about it while they deal with an overweight 10-year old child who suffered a heart attack as the result of taking diet pills. House is also faced with a woman who won't accept surgery for a 30 lb. tumor because she wants to remain overweight.
House has to find out why a patient has internal bleedings after a car crash. In the meantime, he has a wager with Cuddy he can stay off the painkillers. Will his withdrawal symptoms eventually kill his patient?
A severely broken arm reveals a bizarre case of bone loss and ends the comeback plans of major league pitcher Hank Wiggen. House suspects Hank is lying about using steroids, as his condition worsens. When Hank's kidneys start to fail, his wife offers to donate hers, but she would have to abort her early pregnancy. Forced into an impossible solution, and admitting failure as an addict, Hank tries to take his own life. House and his team must isolate and fix the problem soon if this pitcher's life, as well his career, can be saved. Meanwhile, Foreman dates a pharmaceutical representative and House is stuck with two tickets and ends up going on a "date" with Cameron...to a monster truck rally.
A 12-year-old boy believes he's cursed after a Ouija board tells him he's going to die, and his father makes increasing demands on House as they try to diagnose the boy's pneumonia-like symptoms and incongruous rash. Meanwhile, Chase's estranged father, a renowned doctor from Australia, visits and House invites him to sit in, much to Chase's discomfort. When House diagnoses the boy's illness, the young patient is forced to face the idea that his father may not be everything he believes.
Legendary jazz musician John Henry Giles is checked into the hospital and when he's told he's dying from ALS, he signs a DNR to avoid a slow death. House disagrees with the diagnosis and goes against everyone's wishes when he violates the DNR to save Giles' life. The decision lands House in court, drives Foreman to consider taking another job, and results in Giles' paralysis worsening. But when the patient inexplicably starts getting better, the team has to figure out the mystery in reverse and find out why his condition is improving.
Dr. Foreman believes an uncooperative homeless woman is faking seizures to get a meal ticket at the teaching hospital. But her homelessness strikes a personal chord with Dr. Wilson and he grows determined to keep her from falling between the cracks. Her worsening symptoms prove to be a complex mystery for House and his team, but the mystery of her identity and medical history may hold the answers to saving her life. Just as the team suspects she has contagious meningitis, the woman goes missing, only to be tasered by the police, who bring her back. But House deduces the taser may have proven yet another diagnosis, with dire results. Meanwhile, House has an audience of two medical students who are learning how to do case studies.
Dr. House is intrigued by the symptoms of a schizophrenic woman, who displays mixed symptoms, including a tumor, but soon realizes the source of her problems isn't the obvious. House confronts his birthday and Chase confronts his past when the mother's son tries to keep up with her condition.
After being discovered dead asleep, a woman is admitted to the hospital. The doctors are puzzled by her symptoms, as they consider everything from tumors to breast cancer to rabbit fever. When all the treatments fail, House concludes she has African sleeping sickness. However, neither the woman nor her husband could possibly have ever been to Africa. The woman will die without the proper treatment, but neither one will admit to having an affair.
When a high school student falls victim to a mysterious but lethal poisoning, House and his team jump in to find out what is killing the teen. Suddenly, a second unrelated student is admitted with identical symptoms. With the boys' lives hanging in the balance, House and the team have to connect the dots fast. Meanwhile, an 82-year-old patient has become enamored with House while he helps her figure out the basis of her renewed fascination with her sexual feelings.

It could be the spartan living environment, or perhaps growing up in the thin air nearly 3,000 meters above sea level -- or maybe it's the influence of a legendary local coach.
Whatever its secret, a remote mountain town in Ethiopia has produced a string of world-beating distance runners.
Three-time Olympic champion Tirunesh Dibaba is the current cream of the crop. Like many from her area, she was clearly born to run.
Her elder sister Ejegayehu was an Olympic silver medalist in 2004, while younger sister Genzebe was the 2009 world junior cross country champion and a younger brother Dejene is a promising 800m runner.
"Running is for me my job, but also my source of entertainment," the 27-year-old told CNN's Human to Hero series.
"It's because of running that I am well known around the world. For me, it's the ultimate thing."
Sporting excellence flows through the family genes: Dibaba is the cousin of double Olympic 10,000m champion Derartu Tulu, while she was also inspired by another cousin -- Bekelu, who she often calls her sister, and was an international distance runner.
They all hail from Bekoji, a town of fewer than 20,000 people set high in the mountains of the Arsi province, but with a freakish record for track and field success.
"Bekoji has produced so many great athletes starting from Derartu. In Beijing, Kenenisa (Bekele) and I brought home two gold medals each," Dibaba said.
"Bekoji has strong runners. Bekoji is great and can produce even greater athletes."
It has echoes of Jamaica's Trelawny district, another rugged rural setting which has produced a string of sprint champions, including six-time Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt.
Before Dibaba, the great Kenenisa Bekele -- a three-time Olympic champion and double world record-holder in the 5,000 and 10,000m -- was the most famous product of the area. Both were coached by Sentayehu Eshetu in their important formative years.
Inspiring coach
"Sentayehu knew that my cousin Derartu Tulu ran, he knows that my sisters ran too. That's why he encouraged me to start running and used to tell me that I would be a great runner, he knew I would be a fast runner," Dibaba said.
Success clearly breeds success -- the peak of which came at the 2008 Beijing Olympics as Dibaba and Bekele both won distance doubles -- and she believes the conveyor belt of talent will keep going.
Bekele has suffered injury problems since 2010, and he had to settle for fourth in the 10,000m at London 2012 as his younger brother Tariku chased home Britain's Mo Farah and Galen Rupp of the United States to claim a bronze medal.
Dibaba was unable to repeat her Beijing double, but became the first woman to retain an Olympic 10,000m title and took bronze in the 5,000m as Addis Ababa-born arch rival Meseret Defar won back the gold she first held in 2004.
In addition, Dibaba has won four world championship golds and has also claimed the coveted world cross country title on four occasions, beating the best that Ethiopia's great rivals Kenya could produce.
Early struggles
But despite her faultless pedigree, Dibaba's route to the top was not without its difficulties. She hoped to further both her education and her fledgling running career by moving to the capital of Addis Ababa, a grueling 276-kilometer trip from Bekoji
She was to live with her Bekelu and sister Ejegayehu, but missed the school registration deadline by six days.
Bekelu, recognizing her cousin's talent, instead enrolled the teenager into the sport club run by the Prison Police in Ethiopia.
Her early promise blossomed, and it was not long before Dibaba announced herself on the global stage by taking a surprise 5,000m gold at the 2003 world championships in Paris, still only 18 years of age.
At the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Dibaba was beaten into the bronze medal position in the 5000m by the more experienced Defar and Isabella Ochichi of Kenya, a defeat which rankled despite her young years.
"Our country is not like other countries. Silver and bronze in our country is no better than finishing fifth or sixth," she said.

Anyone tasted this??
I've seen this bottle at a local liquor store. It's a Macallan 1876 Replica bottle. Supposed to be a collector thing, but not too sure just how rare it'll actually be; afterall most things that say they are "limited" or "collectors" aren't.
Now, as much as I enjoy collecting, I enjoy drinking & savouring. I intend to consume every bottle in my library at some point. I try not to buy crap, although I have been burned. So I'd like to know if anyone has acutally tried this whisky yet? Or if anyone has a bottle in their collection? It runs for a 'lil over $280cdn Anyone think it's worth it?? (I'll make up my own mind, just wanna hear ppls thoughts) |

Which isn't completely true. I mean, occasionally I drop by when I manage to sneak out of the nonstop frat party over at Going Concern, but I'm mostly a wallflower over there. I'm happy to say that I've been given express permission (or explicit orders, if you like) to wander over here to AccountingWEB more often.
Why is that, you might ask? My job is to replace the irreplaceable Gail Perry as Editor-in-Chief. What does that mean? I don't really know! I think it'll be fun getting a feel for things, throwing in my own thoughts here and there, and listening to the discussions you're having about the accounting profession.

Bashing Facebook is pretty common these days . . . but you probably still use it several times a day. If Facebook is so awful, why can't you shake it?
Here are the top eight reasons we're all still addicted to Facebook . . .
1. It's the best way to stalk your exes.
2. It's the best way to screen potential dates.
3. It gives you a sense of superiority about your taste in movies, TV, books, and music whenever you see someone post about something awful.
4. It's the easiest way to plan a party. With Evite, you have to know people's email addresses . . . on Facebook you don't.
5. It makes it less awkward when you run into people you haven't seen in a while, because you sort of know where they live and what they're up to.
6. It helps you remember SO MANY BIRTHDAYS you would've forgotten.
7. It's the best place to make a big announcement and receive a ton of validation.
8. You don't get annoying emails anymore . . . and if someone always posts annoying stuff on Facebook, you can just hide them.

The Official Unofficial Very Accurate Rankings Of Ranger Prospects
Maybe if are a New York Ranger fan and you want to insult someone's intelligence then try calling someone a TV news reporter. If you are getting to read this on Sunday morning then I hope it is from a place where it is safe, dry and you are surrounded by those who mean the most to you.
But please Mr. and Ms "On the Scene" news reporter spare us the lecture about how going outside risks the lives of first responders. You are doing the very same thing that you are telling people not to do or to quote one of the reporters "those morons."
The biggest pet peeve I do have watching people try to rank the prospects. Sorry not trying to sound like an egomaniac but as I enter my 8th season doing this, I still have not been able to come up with a fair objective method to rank prospects.
That is because it does not exist and any list or ranking should be taken with a grain of salt given the many factors that come into play as prospects develop. What a prospect ranking list really is when you strip it all away is a list of those prospects people like the best.
Anyone who says that they do not have favorite prospects is only kidding themselves. Anyone who says that their list is purely objective and balanced is also kidding themselves.
In my book, I consider character, drive and then talent as the first 3 things to look for. In character you are looking for red flags like disciplinary issues, suspensions and what they do away from the ice.
Drive is measured by the things a player does to improve himself before, during and after the season. Is the prospect working out, doing the things he needs to do to improve or is he out golfing or partying.
Talent needs little explanation other than does the prospect show that his talent is improving. But once you get past those 3 then things get harder to judge as how can you measure someone who is playing HS hockey against a guy who just graduated from college?
The diversity of where prospects play whether it is in Europe, the USA or even the 3 leagues that make up the CHL has to be measured as well. A player who is going up against adults in Europe had better be ranked higher than a 17 year old who missed part of the season with injury.
That said here is my own biased Top Ten Ranger prospects who make covering prospects worth doing. Not all are stars and a couple will not even make it to the NHL but I like them.
Take the list with a grain of salt or look at it as the all character list. But one thing that this list has is a ton of heart.
10-Max Campbell- Max was the "Comeback" prospect of last season. Written off after a disaster of a junior season, Campbell led Western Michigan to their first NCAA appearance since the 1990s thanks in large part to some clutch goals.
Campbell is on an AHL contract so his road to NYC has a few roadblocks but Campbell is a pure scorer who once he sets himself in the crease is hard to move out.
9-Jason Wilson- J-Dub as we call him went from an often criticized injury prone power forward to the first line winger for the Niagara IceDogs. The first glance was that Wilson was brought in to be the bodyguard for the IceDog's star forward Ryan Strome.
In the playoffs, Wilson earned his contract by going 5-7-12 in the OHL playoffs. Wilson is someone who we believe is going to push Dale Weise out of a job as he does the same things as Weise only is younger and plays better defense.
8-Shane McColgan- Having watched McColgan score points in all 10 2011 WHL playoff games, we loved his upping his own ante. Going 8-11-19 now puts a bullseye on the Kelowna Rocket as he is going to be counted on to be their leading scorer as well as team leader period.
He may have been cut by the USA team this summer but we think McColgan might force his way back on to the team come December. He has to battle consistency as that is what has held him back but we have faith he will become consistent.
7-Scott Stajcer- Stajcer gets a spot here mainly because of the effort he put into getting back to the Owen Sound Attack lineup after hip surgery. We tell people to toss away what happened at the Memorial Cup as Stajcer came back ice cold after a foot infection playing for a team outmanned and devastated by injury.
Stajcer if not for his injuries would be talked about by everyone who does prospect reports for the Rangers. He was one of the top goalies when he was hurt; he was a top goalie in the OHL playoffs before he got hurt again.
6-Blake Parlett- Yep everyone is going "Who?" but Parlett is a second coming of Dan Girardi as the undrafted free agent earned himself a 2 year contract from the Rangers by working his way up to the AHL from the ECHL.
Parlett earns our love because he has now twice been given an opportunity and ran off with it. Wait until people start hearing about his "Rocky Balboa" off-season workouts and the lovefest will get larger.
5-Ryan Bourque- is without question the most unselfish prospect the Rangers have. Too unselfish as it costs him with those who do not realize that Bourque gives up his own game to help his team win.
Bourque forget his size, forget who daddy is and love how you do not want to face him when he is on the forecheck. We know Bourque can score but his value as a defensive forechecker leads to his being used on the 2nd or checking lines rather than being a first line player.
We can not wait to see Bourque teamed up with Carl Hagelin on a penalty kill.
4-Chris Kreider- another case of a prospect who puts the team ahead of personal goals and agenda. We have one criticism which is SHOOT THE PUCK CHRIS as we have seen that when Kreider shoots the puck at least 4 times a game he will put up points.
We also love how Kreider showed the courage of his own convictions by turning the Rangers down. Getting his education is important to him and he backed it up by saying no to the Rangers then taking a very heavy credit load this past summer.
Toss in coming back from a freak broken jaw 3 weeks before anyone had projected tells us about the fire inside of him. And for those of you who question his hockey IQ then remember this
You can not teach someone to make a play like this and we expect that his junior season will be his coming out party.
3-Christian Thomas- OK when you are 5'8 then you are always going to have a place for someone your own size. Then when you see that person who can score from any spot on the ice and you like him that much more.
Gordie Clark says Thomas has an NHL shot but what he left out that Thomas turned up his game at crunch time. We want to see him mature into his body before the Rangers unleash him on the NHL.
There is no question that Thomas is going to be able to score as we think Martin St. Louis when we watch him but you know his passing skills are greatly underrated. Here is your weapon folks and when he teams with Derek Stepan in a couple of years watch out.
2-Carl Hagelin- For 4 years I have watched a love affair between the "Swedish Chef" and the loyal fans at Yost Arena where the Michigan Wolverines play. When you can get entire crowds to be chanting your name you are doing something.
Here is why we love Carl Hagelin as no Ranger prospect has been as big a clutch player as Carl Hagelin.
This one is one of his best moments as he scores the game tying goal then the game winner both with seconds remaining.
Carl Hagelin will not surprise us at all if he makes the Rangers out of training camp as we say 2.9 seconds remember that 2.9 seconds. Hagelin is going to have Ranger fans chanting his name when they watch him play.
1-Dylan McIlrath- I put him here because every year since Jeff Beukeboom was forced to retire, I have called for a defensive stopper. Here he is and Jeff Beukeboom would give his approval.
How can you not like a player who his mere presence forces teams to change how they attack. Watched Medicine Hat refuse to go down his side of the ice after 2 clean body checks.
Do not even think you can touch a McIlrath teammate as he will be on you in a second. Have watched teams think twice about taking the body when McIlrath was out there.
And then there is the gentle giant giving up his Friday night so he can read to first graders. Then how can you not like a guy who every time he drops the gloves is called one of the toughest in the WHL.
And we saved the best for last as since the middle of last season, McIlrath as been working on his shot. It is a heavy almost dangerous shot that is going to either create rebounds or injure anyone trying to block his shot.
They will try once to block it then will get out of the way.
Hope this provides you with a moment or two of distraction from what you are going through back east.
Game Action
Well we wanted to see how Samuel Noreau's Baie-Comeau Drakkar did against the Rimouski Oceanic in the 2nd half of their "home and home" after losing a tough one. Saturday night was an even bigger heartbreaker.
The Drakkar got the game's first goal then surrendered 3 straight to trail 3-1 in the 3rd. It looked like it was over but the Drakkar fought back to tie the game at 18:22.
But sadly the Oceanic pushed in the game winner with just 8 seconds remaining to earn a 4-3 win. Noreau had quiet night almost invisible but it is still early in the pre-season.
The one thing we have learned about the Drakkar is they are their own worst enemy as they have lapses where they just do not play well and it costs them.
