Several filesystem guessing modules are built in, and others can be added dynamically.

Online Store
The Official Online RBS 6 Nations Store is open. The store has everything you need to get behind your team during the RBS 6 Nations, plus the store is now fully stocked with a much wider range of rugby merchandise.
Brunel's troops began their RBS 6 Nations campaign with a stirring 23-18 win over les Bleus on the opening weekend however it was back down to earth with a bump at Murrayfield.
Despite reeling from a resounding 38-18 defeat against England, Scotland were in free-flowing form, running in four tries to claim a 34-10 victory.
Tim Visser, Matt Scott, Stuart Hogg and Sean Lamont scored tries for the home side with Italy only able to respond with an Alessandro Zanni score.
But while it was Scotland's running rugby that at first glance appeared to be the difference between the sides, Brunel insisted it was his side's deficiencies at the breakdown that cost them dearly.
"We lacked lucidity and precision in the key moments," he said.
"There is a lot of disappointment because we weren't clinical at the breakdown, giving our scrum-half difficult, slow and dirty ball. In the general management of the game we moved the ball too much and didn't play enough territory.
"In the end Scotland nicked two tries, but they all count."

In Perspective: Prop 37 defeated; proponents undeterred
resize text | Tweet |
This new coalition is composed of the following groups and individual who are leading its approach: Food Democracy Now!, Green America, Institute for Responsible Technology, Nature's Path Organic Foods, Nutiva and Vani Hari, a food activist writer and a two time elected North Carolina delegate, endorsed by President Obama.
The anti-GMO groups have blamed Monsanto and the other companies and organizations that raised funds to defeat Prop 37 as bullies who want to control the market. However, what the activists don't explain is that Prop 37's wording was confusing. The proposition, as written, would have required any processed food to use the words "Partially Produced with Genetic Engineering" or "May be Partially Produced with Genetic Engineering." The wording does not make it clear to consumers if the products contained GMOs, which was the goal the activists claimed they wanted to achieve.
In the end, consumers were not gaining what they were told they would. This could have opened up a plethora of potential lawsuits, which would have bogged down the legal system.
However, despite the loss in California, the activists will continue to push forward with lawsuits, plus state and national initiatives. Now is not the time for the industry to let down its guard.

I have been needing a new hammer drill since my old (20+ yrs) quit its hammering ability. I've been needing to drill 2 holes in some concrete for some time. With a new bit I went to work. It worked like a champ, its lower profile fit into the location better, and it took way less time & effort to complete the job than I would have guessed. However, I used my Ion batteries instead of the ni-cad. Longer operation, more power, and it worked to the end of it's charge & not slowly taperingoff. I love this thing. I still have my older ones for lighter drilling, but this one sure met my expectations!

Hurts my arms and shoulders while trying to use my regular C3 drill to drill holes on my garage's concrete walls to put up pegboards. Stupid is as stupid does! // Hammer drill was twice as heavy but at least 5 times faster and efficient on concrete. Yup, at least 5 times faster. Easy to switch from hammer mode to drill and drive modes. The projected LED lighting from the base and the horizontal and vertical levels are bonuses. Some of my round-based chucks slipped while drilling deeper than 1-inch into concrete. Using the slow-speed setting while hammer drilling resulted in the bit 'walking away' from the vibration. Consider purchasing bits that are hammer-drill ready since they are supposedly faster than regular bits. // 12 holes done and only another 184 more to go.

Thread: Zulfadli Zulkifli
So you are concerned with only who should represent MAS at important events like T&UC, Olympics, etc.
I would say the best should represent the country. And how cN we ensure they are the best? Do we base solely on WR when we know this is only a rough guide, depending on whether a player is able to participate in as many BWF ranking points tournaments.
Or do we need to conduct a national selection for prequalified players? How are preqified players selected? Etc. Etc, etc...
No... I am concerned with ALL players who represent MAS in ANY tournaments. This is because tax-paying Malaysians should think that their monies should go to ALL Malaysian players, and not just to players under BAM.
And BAM should be interested in ALL Malaysia's representative players, and not just in players under BAM.
That's why I was so disappointed that WCH was left out (let's go back to around Post #170 of this thread)
limsy liked this post
And if some players are not available to attend the selection tournament, then an independent panel should be set up to decide if these players should be selected or not.
But please don't allow BAM CTC members to select; It is expected that they would be biased, and they would give independent players no chance.
I beg to differ.
Despite the millions of ringgits of sponsorships by Proton and now Maybank, what has BAM achieved, except for a few All-England titles, Asian Games Gold, and World Junior titles?
Has any MAS players won the World Championships title?
Has any MAS players won the Olympics Gold Medal?
No doubt, Lee Chong Wei is an exceptional player and he's so far the most consistent player in the past 10-20 years for Malaysia, consistently delivering titles after titles, despite missing the big ones. To a certain extent, Koo Kien Keat/Tan Boon Heong in MD can also be considered as one of BAM's few successful players. In WS, WD and XD, there are Wong Mew Choo (now a coach), Wong Pei Tty/Chin Ee Hui (and now Vivian Ho Kah Mun/Woon Khe Wei) and Chan Peng Soon/Goh Liu Ying who will perform brightly in some tourneys.
But apart from these players in particular, is the system in BAM really the best? In particular, for Zulfadli Zulkiffli? A brief glance to the ranking table in MS will suggest otherwise. What are the achievements of the elite/back-up players so far? Ironally for BAM, the 2 players with the highest ranking players are Mohd Hafiz Hashim and Wong Choong Hann. If I recalled (do correct me if I am wrong here), he left BAM early this year simply because he felt he no longer possess the motivation to perform well and at the same time, he will hinder the progress of the younger players still in BAM.
I will agree with Hafiz to a certain extent as BAM players are in particular spoon-fed, from training programs, travel arrangements, even dietary preparation. You don't have to do all those things yourselves. But at the same time, there's also no penalty from BAM whatsoever for underachievement. So, some of these players might be a bit too pampered and may not have the same motivation as an independent player. Losing is no big deal as the bills are paid by BAM and tax-payers! I also don't think they bother so much about their rankings.
If Zul joins BAM, I am quite sure he will fall behind the pecking order. Meaning, there are already many seniors who joined before him that will be considered for international tourneys, before he will even get any chance.
Therefore, I strongly agree that KLRC is probably the best option for him right now. Badminton today should be driven towards professionalism through clubs, not based on national association! Who says that an independent player cannot achieve greater things after he/she left the national team? Look at Tommy Sugiarto and Alamsyah Yunus. Their career basically flourish after they left Pelatnas. Fransiska Ratnasari also has a renewed career after she joined PB Djarum on her own accord.
In contrast, some club players who were recruited into Pelatnas suffered from underachievement or lack of attention by coaches (since these young players are basically second-team players anyway) or lack of exposure to international tourneys (due to budget constraints). As a result, their career stalled right after they join the national team.
Today, clubs in Indonesia and I believe in Malaysia have a professional set-up, with the appropriate coaches (some even arguably better than the ones in the national team) and facilities. Look at PB Djarum's training complex in Kudus (for singles) and Jakarta (for doubles). Similarly, KLRC is flushed with cash from Andrew Kam. He likes success and glory, so, I am quite sure, he will willingly groom Zulfadli Zulkifli so that he can reach his potential!
These are the comments that I personally disagree, after observing situations in INA and to a certain extent MAS. Don't talk about CHN because the club systems there are very different and basically, only national team players enjoy first priority in terms of tourneys selection etc.
In INA, clubs like Djarum or Jaya Raya are arguably "richer" compared to Pelatnas. Since PB Djarum's initiative to send its players to international tourneys, we begin to see other big clubs like Jaya Raya and even Mutiara, Tangkas, SGS, and Jaya Raya Suryanaga sending their own players (in particular young players) to international tourneys.
The clubs also have world class coaches like Sigit Budiarto and Antonius (ex World Champions and Olympics Bronze-medalist), Retno Kustiyah, Sigit Pamungkas (coach of Kido/Hendra who also left the National Team last year), etc. Not to mention the facilities: Djarum has a world-class training and coaching facility for Singles players in Kudus, while Jaya Raya is also planning to build one in Jakarta.
There's also a concern from the clubs that once their young players are sent to the National Team, they have fewer exposure to international and even domestic tourneys (than if they continue to stay in their respective clubs). We know that exposure to tourneys is an important part of player's development.
For doubles players, worse still, the new partnership performed worse than the original ones (since players from different clubs are typically matched together once they are in the national set-up). This has left many clubs pondering whether sending them to the National Team (Pelatnas) is it really to the best of the players' interests. They are now even considering not to send players in MD and WD to the national-team and plan to groom some of them into world-class status if the problem is not rectified.
Based on these, I cannot see why if a player still choose a club over the national-team set-up, it will be such as a waste. In fact, it is the opposite. Tommy Sugiarto chooses to be independent than being a Pelatnas player. Look at how many tourneys he has the freedom to participate in (and won titles too). I doubt he will participate in those tourneys (especially the European ones) if he remains as a Pelatnas player!
The 2 posts from badMania have highlighted the healthy and competitive nature between players and clubs in Indonesia.
I believe that it should produce better players for Indonesia; It is better than sending all players to train at Pelatnas.

By the way, I also believe that for ZZ to become a better player (to be a world-class, top player), he could have a spell in training in different countries, like in Indonesia, China, Korea, etc, etc,...
Badminton clubs are usually form because they love Badminton (the main reason); where governmental and political issues are usually not important.
I am sure many clubs would welcome ZZ to train with them.
ZZ, as an independent player, can select where to train, because he is not stuck with BAM.
I thank badMania for his inputs, especially on the professional scene in Indonesia.
It is heartening to see that the private clubs have been in a strong and healthy position to supplant Pelantas. No wonder Pelantas needed private sponsorship to pay for Li Mao and company. There seems to be a lack of financial support from the government. The private clubs seem to be richer and are more interested in bringing Indonesian badminton back to its former glory days.
However, I was referring mainly to the Malaysian scene and in particular the only club I know that is challenging BAM for badminton honours and that is KLRC. It must be admitted that MAS is different from INA in terms of club development. For MAS it is relatively new and whether there will be more participants willing to enter the scene in the near future is still in doubt.
As I have stated earlier, BAM should be in a stronger position than KLRC to meet the needs of its trainees as it has strong government and private sector support and it has been in the business for a very long time, though not very much to show off in terms of producing world title winners in tournaments like the World Championships and the Olympics.
INA has always been a badminton powerhouse ahead of MAS, generally speaking. Admittedly INA has had much greater success than MAS. MAS has not won any WC or Olympic titles while INA has captured 18 WC since 1977. But the drought came after 2007. So during the last three WC, even INA had to return home empty-handed.
Why? Simply because of CHN's dominance if you look at the WC table!
CHN has swept all the titles, except one, since 2009. Only DEN managed to take the XD title in 2009. I believe the private clubs in INA were already trying to produce their own stars during that period. But it must be Pelantas that helped produced the past WC winners.
Except for Taufik Hidayat, ex-national players who left Pelantas to join the private clubs did not really do that well in the sense that they did not win major tournaments. It must also be highlighted that even such independent players have had their grounding and baptism of fire at Pelantas. Even TH is now fading and his confidence is only temporarily propped up with his win in today's India Open GP - a minor tournament.
If INA can't even challenge CHN in the recent past, how does one expect MAS to do better? But at least MAS managed to produce a consistent WR1 player in LCW, a product under the BAM system. He might yet win the London Olympics next year. "Nothing is Impossible" says a diehard MAS fan and I agree.
Yes, KLRC produced a WJC in ZZ. But how can one compare a junior with a senior WR1? They are miles apart!
I concede though that a system is as good as it is. Politics can make it worse and much has to depend on the quality of trainees brought into the system for polishing.Last edited by Loh; 12-25-2011 at 11:07 AM.
The reality can be changed.
Let's have BWF, nations and clubs to start thinking to promote Badminton without any political issues.
You didn't know that I was screaming like hell when BWF (then IBF) did not wish to have China to be included to participate in our World Badminton.
Now, I am screaming like hell when National Associations do not wish to have independent players to be included to participate in their National Teams.
I would say that LCW making it is despite the politics and whatever sabotaging within BAM. If not due to that, Msia would have able to produce more top players. BAM used to keep saying - not enough budget. So,aft some time,the players quit BAM to go independent. But unlike in INA,BAM tried to show power like what happened to Gan/TBS. Government, in the form of NSC and Sports Ministry,will give support to whichever player, irregardless under BAM or not. NSC said more private support its better, government dont have to support so much $$$.
As comparision,the Msian Athletics assciation is in chaos due to politics.Look at FAM. Having a success story from private clubs is good for the future of Msian badminton. If not,BAM will be too arrogant,which is bad for badminton. hopefully Zul will continue to progress and make BAM come back down to earth. They keep saying not enough slots, limited budget, ok, let the private clubs take them and dont be jealous of the clubs.
ZZ's head to head stats against senior players especially BAM players still not in his favours yet.
No doubt ZZ is a potential player however, in order for him to be succeeded, let us consider on these key factors:-
1. Get him a physical trainer as from my observance, he is quite 'plump' hence, to compete in physical duo in matches involving senior players, he will sure be 'pancit' one 1.
2. BAM should allow him to be be included in their regime for training sessions. They already have potential players ie. Mohd Arif Abdul Latif etc... Why don't let him be competing with them for both parties interest. Unless BAM want to put aside national concern compared to commercial concern lah....
3. KLRC must sent him to many tourneys as possible for his exposure.

A source said that the FBI had been investigating Todashev for about a month.
The FBI had followed Todashev for days, his friend told CNN affiliate Central Florida News 13.
Todashev "wasn't like real close friends (with Tsarnaev), but he just happened to know him," Khasuen Taramov told the TV station. "But he had no idea that they were up to something like that, like bombings and everything, you know what I mean?"
He told CNN affiliate WESH that Todashev and Tsarnaev had spoken by telephone about a month before the bombings.
"It was a complete shock to him," Taramov said.
The two met a couple years ago in Boston, where Todashev had lived and where there is a small, close-knit community of Chechens, said Taramov.
Their telephone conversation before the bombings contained nothing but routine pleasantries, he said. "It was 'How are you doing; how's your family?' That's all."
Taramov said he himself was questioned by the FBI for three hours Tuesday night. Asked what he was asked, Taramov said, "Different kind of questions like 'what do you think about bombings,' 'do you know these guys,' blah blah blah, what is my views on certain stuff."
He said Todashev was not a radical. "He was just a Muslim. That was his mistake, I guess."
Taramov said his friend had told him he had a bad feeling about the direction the investigation was heading.
"He felt like there's going to be a setup ... bad setup against him. Because he told me, 'They are making up such crazy stuff, I don't know ... why they doing it. OK, I'm answering the questions, but they are still making up some, like, connections, some crazy stuff. I don't know why they are doing it.' "
Before meeting with the FBI for a 7:30 p.m. interview Tuesday, Taramov said, his friend asked him to take his parents' telephone numbers. "He just told me, 'Take the numbers, in case something happens, if I get locked up, or whatever, call them.' You know what I mean?
"We were expecting to get him locked up, but not getting him killed. I can't believe it."
Todashev was unemployed and had been living on insurance money he received after surgery for an accident. "He used to be a fighter, MMA fighter," Taramov said, in a reference to mixed martial arts.
Todashev was arrested this month on a charge of aggravated battery after getting into a fight over a parking spot with a man and his son outside an Orlando mall. The son was taken to a hospital with head injuries, a split upper lip and several teeth knocked out of place, the Orange County Sheriff's Office said in a report.
"Todashev said he was only fighting to protect his knee because he had surgery in March," the report said. He told the police that he was a former mixed martial arts fighter, it said.
Todashev, described as 5-foot-9 and 160 pounds, was released on $3,500 bond.
Asked about the incident, Taramov downplayed it. "He had a fight in the parking lot, the two guys jumped on him ... pretty much he just defended himself against two," he told WESH. "The only mistake: he did kick their ass and left."
Todashev had recently gotten his green card and had been planning to visit his parents in Chechnya and then return to the United States, but canceled the plans, Taramov said.
Now, he added, he was planning to call his friend's parents.

To the Editor:
I and my family (of Robert "Bob" Hendricks) would like to thank, from the bottom of my heart, the community of the island for all the caring words, love and hugs that each of you have shown us.Special thanks to my co-workers at Hudson's and to Howard and Emily Wise. You have made my days brighter!

The News - Letter to Editor
Noted author Randy Wayne White's article that appeared in last Friday's Boca Beacon was a fantastic message that all tarpon enthusiasts and conservationists should read.
Sadly, there were many tarpon-fishing clients, their families, local guides, island residents and others who did not get a chance to view Mr. White's statement, as the various locations on the island that have Boca Beacon storage racks available with normally plenty of papers all seemed to be interestingly empty.
The most famous fishing tournament in SW Florida has returned after a six-year hiatus and we at the Boca Grande Area Chamber of Commerce could not be more proud or thankful for the monumental efforts and dedication of the organizers, sponsors, volunteers and participants who spent nearly a year and thousands of hours of planning to make it a success.
We had 33 boats compete in the fleet.
Our winners this year received cash and prizes totaling well over $53,000.
BY LIZA STROUT - When you grow up on a small island, you know everyone your own age. When you are the daughter of the island cop, you know everyone at the station. So when Island School teacher Theresa Caccavale first saw Patrick O'Connor, she was curious.
"It was Fire Prevention Week at The Island School, and we were out with the kids, looking at the fire trucks and watching the demonstrations," said Theresa. "There was this firefighter who I had never met. He was my age. And I had no idea who he was."
"It was October 13, 2009," said Patrick with a grin.

Report: Ken Whisenhunt to remain in Arizona
Perhaps Ken Whisenhunt's tenure in Arizona is not coming to an end after all.
While many a report state the franchise is likely to part with its coach of the last six seasons, Yahoo! Sports' Jason Cole believes Whisenhunt will survive his second losing season in three years.
Word around the league is that Detroit's Jim Schwartz, the Arizona Cardinals' Ken Whisenhunt and Chicago's Lovie Smith are all expected to survive for another season. That expectation is based largely on the conservative approach that all three teams have historically taken with firing coaches, particularly when those coaches have money still owed to them.
It's interesting that Cole is not saying the Cardinals will keep Whisenhunt around because they think he is the best option, but instead because the franchise would be reluctant to part with a coach when there is still time left on his contract.
However, we have been led to believe these are not the "same old Cardinals" that we knew back in the day, and if that is the case then it may not prevent the Cardinals from making a move after all.

Under the terms of the Fund's managed distribution policy, the Fund seeks to maintain a consistent distribution level that may be paid in part or in full from net investment income and realized capital gains, or a combination thereof.

Date of Louisville RV show could change in 2014

(Truth Photo By Tom Fougerousse)
The THOR Motorcoach booth at the RVIA tradeshow in Louisville KY.
The Recreation Vehicle Industry Association�s board of directors has given preliminary approval to a recommendation that the Louisville show move to a late September/early October time frame beginning in 2014. A final decision could come as early as July after the association learns whether the Kentucky Exposition Center can accommodate the new date and hears the advice from an industry ad hoc committee that is also examining the issue.
Gregg Fore, chairman of the RVIA, said the change was being considered to help alleviate an increasingly busy fall calendar. Retail shows in Pennsylvania and California along with the Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association�s convention and the RVIA trade show cost dealers, manufacturers and suppliers time and money.
Moreover, Fore pointed out, the expense has become even greater because of the recession and because the industry is smaller with fewer dealers, less manufacturers and fewer employees.
�I think there�s a general agreement that there can be some combination that works over time that doesn�t interfere with anybody�s business plans,� he said.
The new date being considered for the Louisville show is about the same time as the annual RV Open House Week in Elkhart County. This loosely organized event by RV manufacturers attracts thousands of dealers from across the United States and Canada to the area. It sprouted, in part, because manufacturers have trouble fulfilling orders from the Louisville show in time for the early retail shows in January.
Pete Liegl, president and CEO of Forest River, kick-started the idea of an open house and as other manufacturers have piled on, it has grown into a major showcase. Some dealers have acknowledged they get what they need at the open houses so they are skipping Louisville.
When the national event is held depends on the dealers, Liegl said. Whether the retailers want December, June or some other time, that is when the trade show should be held.
However, a change in the Louisville dates does not necessarily mean an end to the open houses. Liegl again noted if the dealers want the Elkhart County event to continue, it will. That is good news for the local economy since the product shows pump money into area hotels, restaurants and other businesses. For the 2011 event, Forest River alone spent an estimated $1 million on hotel rooms, food and liquor for its dealers.
Emphasizing the open house is for the RV retailers, Liegl said he would resist any effort by the RVIA to ban the event altogether.
�They can go to hell,� he said. �If I want to have a product show, I�ll have a product show. The RVIA is not going to tell me what I can and can�t do.�
Fore downplayed any conflict with the open houses, noting the manufacturers are part of the decision-making process and will still be able to run their businesses as they see best.
�It�s not going to stop manufacturers from bringing people to look at products,� he said. �The open house thing is not new. Industry people have been bringing dealers to town to look at units since the industry started. This is not a new phenomenon.�
Despite the success of the open houses, Liegl does not believe they will ever trump the industry�s trade show. While Forest River and Thor Industries do well at the local event, the other manufacturers do not reap as great a benefit.
In addition, he does not expect Forest River to ever pull out of the RVIA event.
�I anticipate we�ll always be in the Louisville show,� Liegl said.
