Stories of internet companies being founded in the garage or basement are commonplace, but Tom Roberts' venture had a different starting point – from the back of a tractor.
With igrain.com.au set to launch in November 2009, Roberts was still working as a full-time farm manager around Bathurst and trying to drum up interest in the grain trading platform on his mobile phone while he worked.
"I was just ringing farmers while I was in the tractor myself," says Roberts, 25, who now works full time in the business with a staff of seven.
igrain.com.au lets growers offer their grain for sale to potential buyers such as flour millers or exporters.
It lists the grain the farmer is selling, how much, the price, quantity and quality, and where it its located. Buyers make counterbids, which the farmer can accept or decline when he receives them on his mobile phone. Farmers pay a commission of $2 for each tonne of grain sold on the site.
The business has grown rapidly. It sold around 50,000 tonnes of grain in its first year, about 200,000 the next and is on track to sell about half a million tonnes this year, says Roberts.
But even then, that's only a very small portion of the Australian grain market, where nearly 40 million tonnes can be produced in a good year.
Roberts came up with the idea when as a farm manager he struggled to get a good price for his grain following the deregulation of the market in 2008.
"We were growing grain and I found that actually marketing grain was an absolute nightmare. You didn't know who the buyers were or where to find them or what the prices were or how to get a guide on prices," he says.
"I thought by using the internet we would be able to bring all these buyers together to one central place to buy grain and that way from a selling perspective you knew that you were actually taking the grain to the market and you were getting the best price on any given day."
With deregulation, grains prices have varied widely, making a visible market increasingly important for growers. Grains can have a price range of $100 a tonne in a single year, a huge margin on a produce that mostly sells for $200 to $300.
"That's an incredible amount of money that could be either made or lost by doing marketing well or poorly," says Roberts.
He joined with Matthew Kowalski, who operated a feedlot near Crookwell and was struggling to find a nearby grain supplier, to found the site. Neither had a tech background, but Kowalski's brother David is a founder of technology investor Green Lane Digital, and so was able to help out with technical and business expertise.
The partners put in several thousand dollars each to found the business, which now has five shareholders following a capital raising last year. Roberts won't reveal how much cash was raised, only saying it was a "modest" for amount needed for more computer equipment, advertising and hiring staff.
The business didn't need huge amounts of additional capital because it has been cashflow positive from the start, says Roberts. In fact, it made it put through its first grain sales before the site was even officially launched.
Roberts says the biggest challenge with starting the business was "getting the word out" to hard-to-reach farmers. The company advertised on radio and print, but much of the marketing was done by telephoning farmers and potential grain buyers – hence the calls from the back of the tractor.
To ensure he had a functioning market, Roberts also targeted buyers. "I called every buyer I could think of, using the Yellow Pages, Google, and directories to get them registered." Clients now include some of Australia's major grains players, such as Graincorp, Viterra and Elders.
Another major challenge was bringing the high tech sales approach to farmers, whose average age is in the late 50's and many of whom are not computer literate, although that is changing.
To get around this, igrain.com.au made the website as basic and simple to use as possible. They also hold tutorials and workshops for farmers who want to use the site, and in some cases set up farmers' internet and email for them.
The site hasn't yet launched in Western Australia, the country's major grain producing state, because Roberts wants to get the site right first before launching in the West.
So far about 3000 famers are registered with the and more are joining every day. Roberts is aiming for igrain.com.au to ultimately capture 10 or 15 per cent of the market. "We've got big scope to grow. At the moment we're only at the very early stage, but there's a big future there."
And at the moment, Roberts says he's happy running the business and says he doesn't want to discuss the investors' exit plan. "At this stage we wouldn't rule anything out, but we're just trying to grow the business and see what happens from there," he says.

Death by drone: Obama's team spins again
The Obama administration is clearly anxious to ensure that Americans feel comfortable about killing people with drones - because, yet again, Obama sources are trying to put some favorable spin on the strategy. Witness this Sunday New York Times opus, where "three dozen current and former legal and counterterrorism officials and outside experts" endeavor to defend the 2011 death of an American, alleged terrorist Anwar al-Awlaki, who was fatally droned without a trial.
Problem is, their spin doesn't work.
Way down in the article, for instance, the Times recounts how two Justice Department lawyers, David Barron and Martin Lederman, were tasked to determine whether it would be lawful to summarily kill Awlaki despite his American citizenship - seemingly no easy task, because the U.S. Constitution says that American citizens are guaranteed due process, and Article III says that anyone accused of treason must be tried in "open court." Barron and Lederman soon decided that the government had sufficient wiggle room.
"But as months passed, Mr. Barron and Mr. Lederman grew uneasy. They told colleagues there were issues they had not adequately addressed, particularly after reading a legal blog that focused on a statute that bars Americans from killing other Americans overseas."
Wait, what? There's a federal law that bars Americans from killing other Americans on foreign soil? Do tell:
"Mr. Barron and Mr. Lederman were being asked whether President Obama's counterterrorism team could take its own extraordinary step, notwithstanding potential obstacles like the overseas-murder statute. Enacted as part of a 1994 crime bill, it makes no exception on its face for national security threats."
Well, this is a whole new wrinkle, is it not? The Obama team told the Times about this law, for the sole purpose of brushing it aside. Barron and Lederman ultimately concluded that Obama was free to ignore the law. But the Times, indulging the Obama team's spin, never bothered to tell us what the law actually says. So here it is, from 18 U.S.C. 119. Entitled "Foreign murder of United States nationals," the '94 law explicitly says that a crime has been committed when a "national of the United States kills or attempts to kill a national of the United States while such national is outside the United States but within the jurisdiction of another country." There are no exemptions for any American killer, much less the president or the citizen CIA officials under his command.
But Obama's sources say that Barron and Lederman found a way around this law, citing a '97 federal court case, in which an American woman in Japan killed her American child, apparently under mitigating circumstances. Therefore, the lawyers concluded, Obama had an exemption for the use of drones. But that Japan case isn't relevant. It didn't touch on the issue of whether a government can act as judge, jury, and executioner by targeting for death one of its own citizens living abroad. The Times' reporters should have noted that, but their story is in thrall to the Obama spin.
Indeed, the Times story fails to mention that a federal judge assailed the death-by-drone policy in a ruling just two months ago - and she did so, in part, by invoking that 1994 law.
Judge Colleen McMahon's ruling was ostensibly narrow; she was compelled to reject a freedom-of-information request for memos and documents about the targeting of Awlaki. But she took a five-page detour to whack the drone policy. She said that any attempt by the government to kill an American without trial "is still subject to any constraints legislated by Congress." Then she cited the '94 law - "the statute contains no exemption for the president (who is, obviously, a national of the United States) or anyone acting at his direction" - and Article III of the Constitution, which, in her reading, "suggests that the Founders contemplated that traitors woiuld be dealt with by the courts of law, not by unilaterial action of the Executive."
All told, McMahon - a Clinton appointee - rebuked the administration for defending its drone policy "without citing any statute or court decision that justifies its conclusions...(It) has gone so far as to mount an extensive public relations campaign in order to convince the public that its conclusions are correct."
The Sunday Times story was just the latest phase of the public relations campaign. But it probably won't help the administration. Legal issues aside, the story says that the drone that killed Awlaki also killed another American, Samir Kahn. One month later, another drone killed Awlaki's 16-year-old son. Neither Kahn, nor the younger Awlaki, were on the administration's kill list; Kahn was collateral damage, and the teenager was mistakenly whacked due to bad intelligence.
So, the Obama administration was, at best, one for three. If you bat .333 in baseball, you're a star. If you bat that in the drone game, there's no way you can spin it. And you've got a lot more questions to answer.

Andrew Harris is preparing to soar among the clouds at breakneck speed, but still striving to keep his ego on the ground.
The B.C. Lions running back is slated to ride along in a CF-18 jet during an air show next weekend in Abbotsford, B.C. It isn't difficult to get him talking about the subject.
"I'm a huge adrenaline junkie," said Harris after practice Thursday. "So I'm excited about that. I don't know how fast those things go exactly, or exactly how fast the guys go when I'm in it. But it's definitely going to be a crazy experience. It's an opportunity of a lifetime, for sure."
However, his selection as the CFL's Canadian player of the month for July — the first in his career — doesn't generate as much excitement. The 25-year-old Winnipeg native received the honour after catching two passes for touchdowns in a convincing 34-8 victory in Calgary.
"It's cool, it's an honour, but it's just one month of football," said Harris. "Obviously, those things are good to have in competition, but I'm the type of guy that just wants to keep on doing those things. We've still got four months of football left. It's about getting and, obviously, racking up these wins."
As the Lions (3-2) prepare to face the Toronto Argonauts (3-2) in the Ontario capital on Monday, Harris keeps rolling along on an unlikely rags-to-riches story. The former Vancouver Island Raiders standout rose through the Canadian junior ranks instead of university football to become a bona fide star at a tailback position usually reserved for imports. The player of the month honour came a day after he received the CFL player of the week award for the second time this season.
He ran for 55 yards against the Stampeders and gained an additional 37 on five receptions. One of his touchdowns came on a 19-yard pass along the sidelines in a play that one would usually expect a wide receiver to make.
Harris is proving to be a dual threat on the ground and in the air. His first CFL player of the week award came in the second week of the season as he romped for 147 rushing yards on 13 carries. He produced a combined 185 yards in another game, albeit a loss, to Edmonton.
He currently leads the league in combined yardage from scrimmage with 628. He is also ranked fourth in the league among running backs with 351 yards on 47 carries, and his average of 7.5 yards per carry tops the CFL.
True to form, he also takes his receiving success in stride, but admits the work he has put in on improving his timing and release off the ball, among other factors, is paying off.
"I don't think I've had a drop all year," he said. "So that's one thing I'm a little proud of."
With 277 receiving yards, he appears well on his way to surpassing the 395 he accumulated in 2011. But he also shrugs off his receiving success.
"That's the CFL," said Harris. "If I'm getting nine or 10 carries (per game), that's pretty average, for a run game game anyways. That's what I'll gain in the run game, and you've gotta make up for it in the pass. There are so many good receivers that, sometimes, guys are getting doubled and bracketed, so it opens you up."
Harris was used exclusively on special teams in his 2010 rookie season and began last season as a backup. He was tried out as a returner, a receiver and a defensive back before emerging as a starter and earning top Canadian honours in B.C.'s Grey Cup victory over Winnipeg last season.
But Harris, a longshot to even make the CFL, admitted to having a "whole different mindset" after coming into 2012 as a starter.
"It's a whole different aspect of how to perceive the whole season," he said in early July.
And there is no doubting the positive perception that coaches and teammates have of Harris.
Centre Angus Reid said Harris keeps on improving. The 12-year veteran usually avoids grandiose predictions, but did not hold back on discussing Harris.
"Jump on Andrew's bandwagon early, because you're seeing the beginnings of one of the true greats in the league," said Reid.
According to quarterback Travis Lulay, Harris has thrived on being critical of himself and focusing on how he can improve each week.
"He continues to challenge himself," said Lulay. "You can tell. He plays with a great sense of urgency. Every touch early in the football game, he wants to take advantage of. He doesn't go down easy. He makes those guys earn tackles because he has great balance. If you just shoulder him or you don't keep him wrapped up, he's going to find a way to slip out of it."
Lulay added that, as a receiver, Harris gets open downfield by winning matchups with linebackers and has proven to be a useful outlet when the QB gets flushed out of the pocket.
Lulay said opposing defences now target Harris, but he still has a "ton of upside." After Harris' success last season, there was considerable speculation that other clubs would seek to use more Canadians at tailback.
Although it wasn't apparent in this year's draft, Lulay still believes that Harris can be a trailblazer for future Canadian tailbacks in the league.
"It speaks to the level of confidence that we have in him as an organization," said Lulay, explaining that Harris is succeeding despite the perennial wealth of tailback talent available from the United States. "It takes a special guy to do it."Report Typo/Error

I have 4 parakeets- Cobalt, Kiwi, Squiggles, and Dawn.
I used to have 5, but Mangoe (yes, there is supposed to be an 'e') was found on the bottom of the cage dead): She had bad steering control, and I think she smashed into the wall one too many times and got brain damage. Either that or a heart attack (she died the day after she got her beak trimmed at the vet's).
I take rather good care of my birds- they have a huge cage but the paces between the bars are too big so I just leave the cage open all the time lol!(: They love to fly around my room (bird safe) and perch on the window to look out
They have fresh water every day and regular access to seeds, and I try and give them fresh fruit or veggies every day. I am working on taming them (Cobalt in particular).
Books say parakeets live for about 8 years, but online sources say that the average is really 4ish?
How old are your keets/were they when they died?

Big Story
Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Mortal Kombat' started by skorpio3, Oct 12, 2012.
by the elder gods let's make it happen
we call forth to the elder gods (netherealm games) to to make mortal kombat 10 : fire and ice not just an unconfirmed game but an great addition to the mortal kombat series and maybe THE GREATEST MK OF ALL TIME!!!!! i call to the elder gods with this message hoping you will hear it now goodbye and MOOORRTAAAL KOOOMBAAT *mk techno theme hits*
I don't post much, but I do read some of the boards a lot. Just wanted to say that you guys are by far, the funniest people on the boards and your posts have me dying laughing...
Haven't seen you around lately. Thought you just completely left.
Sub Zero has been dead since the original MK game. All I have to say is if a character dies, they either come back either as a twin brother under the same name (or something like that) or Quan Chi will just resurrect them. Or Shang Tsung could do his cloning magic in his basement. nothing to lose sleep over.
Nope, I'm still around.
Who knows what will happen. A lot of people were killed off in the story. I can see Netherrealm continuing where the story left and proceed into MK4, MKDA, and MKD alternate timelines. And the people who did die in MK9 can be playable in 10, just gotta be unlocked through Story mode. In this process, MK4, MKDA, and MKD all get even more in depth stories and possibly plot changes, the newer characters in those games get a real great introduction, and we still have the favorites who was killed off in the previous game. Either that or the gods just revive the dead warriors, but I think that will harm the newer names. If Liu Kang gets revived again and is the main "hero", along with Kung Lao and even Sub Zero, that will heavily over shadow the newer guys from getting a good story mode role.
I definitely want them to continue on to the MK4-D storyline. If they go somewhere else with the story, that would just be too much jumping around.
True. They started the alternate timeline. Now continue it with the other characters. Give guys like Kai, Movado, Jarrek, and some of the Deception characters more spot light and better role in the story. Im sure with the proper treatment, Kobra could actually be interesting.
I hope that NRS puts them as unlockables in the Krypt instead.
Anyone else remember how cool it was to unlock Cyrax in the Krypt in Deadly Alliance?
It made it that much more worth the while to use him.
The Krypt needs a MAJOR overhaul, and putting the dead warriors in the Krypt would be an AWESOME way to give some life to the Krypt (no pun intended).
I wan't to see a Krypt for MK10 that isn't filled with shitty stick-figures.
Bring back Cooking with Scorpion.
Bring back concept art and alternate costumes.
Bring MK trivia into the Krypt.
Bring back multi-colored coins for opening up different Krypts.
Put coins in some of the Krypts.
Make some of the Krypts completely empty.
^Pretty much everything about that.
Lol not a lot of people liked Rain or Stryker, but MK9 really helped their characters and got them more fans. Im no Kobra fan lol but if youre going to make a character playable in some games, at least put some work in the guy and have him liked somewhat or useful to the MK fanbase. I really didnt care about Smoke until MK Deception, because they worked on his character. Same with Stryker and Sindel.
A LOT of people liked Rain, prior to MK9.
In fact, when Ed Boon asked on Twitter which characters people would like to see as DLC, the fans kept begging him for Rain, Cyber-Smoke, and Fujin.
Rain was the ONLY DLC character that was put into MK9 due to the fan request and probably the back-lash that he'd get, if he didn't.
Sheeva on the other hand, not many people would have really missed, but MK9 is essentially the UMK3 roster plus Cyber Sub-Zero and Quan Chi.
It would have been really weird to see every character from the UMK3 era, minus Sheeva. lol
The same goes for Rain.
Good point. I didnt give a damn about Sheeva in MK3, but in MK9 her character was helped out a lot. I always got this image people hated Rain because he was a purple colored ninja and had Nightwolfs/Raidens thunder abilities. I always liked Rain lol
Most people I know didn't care too much for Sheeva because she was boring to use in MK3 / UMK3.
Rain, on the other hand was a very fun character to use, and even though he had the lightning move, he also had dat Super Kick and dat Water Bubble move which let you control the other player.
If you knew how to use Rain right in UMK3, he was deadly.
Rain was fucking deadly. Sheeva was deadly only if the player really knew how to use her. I got easily bored with whenever I tried using her in MK3 and MK9, so I never got to that good point.
I used to beast with Rain, but I guess I lost my mojo. On MK9 though, Im beast with Reptile and Sektor.
Rain is my MAIN go-to dude in MK9, followed by Nightwolf then Sub-Zero.
I REALLY want to get good with the "Original 7, though.
That's my next goal for MK9.
If I could be beast with Sonya, Scorpion, Sub-Zero, Liu Kang, Raiden, Johnny Cage and Kano, I'd be happy as hell.
Sonya, Cage, Kano and Scorpion aren't to hard to get good with, but Liu Kang and Raiden would require the MOST work.
Im decent with Sonya and Cage. Scorpion is easy to use, but yeah if you practice his combos then you can be deadly with him. Kano I dont remember lol. Raiden I got good with for a minute while facing Kahn in storymode after like 30 attempts to beat him, but I dont really consider Raiden one of my guys, so I dont play as him anymore. Liu is fun to use, but other than casual play with him, I dont play him that much. Sub Zero is ok, just too slow for me. And Rain I used to be beast with. I know a 50% combo with him, but I can only do it on an easy opponent, other than that, I suck with Rain Ermac replaced Rain for me
You know, since MK9 is like $20 now, I should buy it for PS3 finally We can finally have some online matches.
Kano is my dude honestly his moves flow really easy
i really believe kuai lang (sorry about spelling but i mean the younger sub zero) never became a cyborg and instead killed the grandmaster, possibly bringing more lin kuei characters like frost and tremor to assist raiden, cage, and blade.
shitting dick nipples is what happened to sub-zero
The Elder Gods will revive everyone. Death means nothing in Mortal Kombat.
As long as we get a Badass Revamp of Fujin Im happy.
Raiden will somehow bring Liu Kang back to life, then he'll go up to the elder gods and give them a blowjob, bringing everyone else back to life.
Since blowjobs would make MK10 an AO-rated game chances are that Ed Bun and NRS will explain it by trying to "bargain" with the elder gods.
Bargaining = bj's in the MK universe.
Raiden tried to blow Quan Chi in MK9, but Quan Chi said that Shao Kahn had already blown him for the souls of the dead Earthrealm warriors.
Guys, for fighter-game and success purposes, I don't think we can start the MK4 - D timeline omitting the MK9 cast.
The only way for them to go through with that time era, is to keep all the characters we have in MK9 and simply drop the newer characters in.
So, we don't replace Kano with Jarek. Why relive the failure that buried MK in the first place? Isn't the point to avoid that this time around?
If you want MK10 to be successful you need these 3 things.

Get rid of dlc in the development phase, wait till game sales, BUT keep hot-updates in mind, because balance will be needed when broken things are found.
Balance- Beta's and Demos are needed.... Testing is needed... that is all.
Choice roster... We don't necessarily need the MK9 roster, you want MK9, play it. But we do need characters like Scorp, Ermac, Sub, Kang etc.... So, figure some shit out.
Support... Like I said, balance updates, and feed back from fans and devs. DLC can, and will come if sales are appropriate. Guest characters are welcome in my opinion, just no bullshit like Freddy. Kratos was genius, but we need something that could be put on all 3 consoles.
That's how MK 10 is successful, you don't need the Mk 1/2/3 roster... That's just dumb.
Honestly, as long as the "Original 7" (Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Liu Kang, Kano, Johnny Cage, Sonya and Raiden) are in, it doesn't matter to me.
I agree with Scorpion4561, that it doesn't need to be all MK 1 thru 3 characters again, but some of those OG characters are the key to other characters coming about in the MK4 thru D timeline, such as Sareena and Frost (Sub-Zero) Quan Chi (Scorpion), Fujin and Kai (Raiden), Reiko (Shao Kahn) etc, etc, etc...
Couldn't agree more about pre-release DLC.
It's dumb as shit.
1) Take a poll on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or whatever other shitty social network they have in mind
2) Have the PEOPLE vote for DLC
3) ????
4) Profit.
I don't get how Boon didn't do ANY of that shit before MK9 came out.
The ONLY 2 characters that were obvious to have as MK9 DLC were Rain and Cyber-Smoke.
And to be honest, BOTH should have been on the MAIN roster over Cyber Sub-Zero and fucking Kratos.
I also agree with you on balance and testing / support and updates.
As for guest characters, they're fine as long as it's not an obligation on the main roster, for that system.
The only reason that NRS put Kratos on the MAIN roster is because "some people didn't have their console connected online" to download him.
That's the shittiest excuse I've ever heard.
It's 2013 and those fucktards that didn't have their console online, SHOULD by now.
Catch up with the times people.

MP Eleanor Laing has welcomed the extension of the Dangerous Dogs Act, saying the public will be better protected.
The new legislation, which allows for the prosecution of owners regardless of where a dog attack takes place and includes harsher punishments, has been granted royal assent.
Epping Forest MP Eleanor Laing praised the measures.
She said: "I have campaigned extensively for measures to prevent dog attacks and for appropriate punishment for irresponsible dog owners.
"This new legislation takes important steps to protect the public whilst still encouraging responsible dog ownership."
"In my constituency the punishments given to dangerous dog offenders have been an insult to their victims. Thanks to these new laws this will no longer be the case."
Laura Curd's dog Willow suffered serious injuries when they were attacked in Waltham Abbey by a pack of dogs in October 2013.
The owner received a caution and Mrs Curd, 44, from Godwin Close in Sewardstone, criticised the police response.

Neither assimilation nor partial assimilation can solve the Jewish problem, Dr. Samuel H. Goldenson, rabbi of Rodef Shalom Congregation, Pittsburgh, told one thousand members of the Metropolitan Conference of Temple Brotherhoods at their third annual Chanukah banquet held Sunday night in the Grand Ballroom of the Hotel Astor. The Jewish problem, above all, is a spiritual problem, he declared, dating from Biblical times, and it can be solved only in a spiritual way.
Lieutenant Governor Herbert H. Lehman, the other principal speaker, characterizing the prison situation as a serious social problem deserving the interest of members of the brotherhood, outlined the policy of prison reform he believed necessary. The Governor of the State will recommend to the Legislature the abolition of the present Parole Board and the creation of a new lay court of three members to handle paroles, and additional appropriations for road camps and new penitentiaries, he declared.
Brief speeches were also made by Charles P. Kramer, Chairman of the Metropolitan Conference, Joshua Kantrowitz, Ben Altheimer, of Temple Emanu-El, and Mrs. Jean Wise May, of the New York State Federation of Temple Sisterhoods.

Stonebraker skating into leader role with Mustang hockey
After losing ten players to graduation from last season's team, the Plum hockey team didn't have to look far for someone to step up.
Junior David Stonebraker – head coach Dave Stonebraker's son – leads the Mustangs with 28 points including 16 goals, which places him fifth in scoring at the PIHL Class AA level.
"I wouldn't put it all on myself. I would have to say my linemates Dillon (Joyce) and Joey (Randazzo) have helped me out. I know where Joey is going to be and he knows where I will be. I'm just trying to help the team in any way I can and not be a selfish player."
Stonebraker, who recorded 25 points last season, started off the season strong with back-to-back hat tricks against Moon and Latrobe in late October.
Stonebraker's play with the combination of linemate of Joe Randazzo has allowed the Mustangs to get off to a 6-3-2 record. The Mustangs are in first-place in the Section 4-AA, four points ahead of Latrobe.
Stonebraker still knows the team's success isn't just on his line's back. For the team to go further in the PIHL playoffs, the Mustangs as a team have to all buy in to the team's system.
But, Stonebraker likes to play against Franklin Regional, as he has recorded 11 points, including five goals, in two games.
"Mainly, we are a really young. But during practices we have been able to perfect our system and run our system during games," Stonebraker said. "The main thing is that we have been able to play the system and we haven't had to change things around. All my teammates have been playing well and contributing to the team."
With the limited varsity experience on the Mustangs, Stonebraker has been thrusted into more of a leadership role this season.
With the loss of Andrew Walters to graduation, Stonebraker, who is an assistant captain, has tried to model his leadership style after Walters.
"I played with Andrew since I was a kid," Stonebraker said. "When he was captain, he never said anything negative about anyone and would provide constructive criticism to teammates. I want to lead the team in that way."
Even with a young team, Stonebraker believes the Mustangs can be in the conversation for PIHL Class AA champion. According to Stonebraker, if the Mustangs stay healthy, unlike last season's team, the Penguins Cup could be achieved.
"Anything can happen at any spur of the moment. We just mainly need to control what we can control and play until the end," Stonebraker said. "I mean everyone's goal in high school is a Penguins Cup. We can do it if we keep it up. But, we need to play the best we can. All our call-up's are doing a great job in filling in spots and doing our jobs."

With Halloween just weeks away, officials at Owen Electric Cooperative are encouraging parents and grandparents to protect their children and grandchildren by taking these steps:
• Make sure costumes are flame resistant.
• Instead of buying masks, which can block vision, use makeup.
• Attach reflective tape to costumes and bags.
• If you set out pumpkins with candles inside, place them where kids' costumes can't accidentally catch on fire.
• Remove tripping hazards from your sidewalk and porch.
The Owen County High School volleyball team began the season with three straight losses. They ended it with three straight wins.
The Lady Rebels hope the momentum that comes with those wins helps them as they prepare for the 31st District Tournament that gets underway this week at Carroll County.
Owen County finished out the regular season last week three matches at home.
On Oct. 1, they hosted Williamstown.
Golf is a game of what ifs. What if I had made that putt? What if I had kept the ball in the fairway?
For two members of the Owen County High School golf team they may be asking themselves those questions until next season.
The Owen County High School girls' golf team traveled to Bowling Green last week looking to play well enough on Day 1 to have the chance to play on Day 2.
For Shelby Power and Kennedi Dermon, they came close.
Power fired an 87 in her opening round and Dermon shot an 88.
A week after losing on its homecoming night, the Owen County Rebels ruined the evening for Trimble County.
The Rebels traveled to Bedford Friday night and dismantled Trimble County.
The 57-6 win may have been just what the team needed as it prepares for the final two district contests.
"We needed to gain confidence and score some points," Owen County High School Head Football Coach Adam Fowler said.
In their previous two games against Bellevue and Walton-Verona, the Owen County offense had scored just 14 points in each.
• Carroll County is 5-2 on the season and 1-1 in district play. The Panthers had Friday night off with a bye.
• Speaking of the bye, since 2000 Carroll County is 8-5 after having a week off. Against Owen County the Panthers are 1-1 after the bye week.
• The Rebels scored 57 points on Friday night against Trimble County. Since 2000, Owen County is 10-0 when they score 40 points or more.
• The home field has been an advantage in this series the last four years. During that time the two teams have split four games with each winning at home.
Home games are always nice but playing in comfortable surroundings is great when it comes to tournament time. The Owen County High School soccer teams have that advantage this week as they host the 31st District soccer tournament.
The action got underway Tuesday with the boy's semifinal action. Carroll County took on Henry County while Owen County took on Gallatin County.
The Rebels beat the Wildcats four times this season by a combined score of 15-2.
Carroll County defeated Henry County twice during the regular season.
The Owen County High School cross country team went to Trimble County twice last week.
Hunter Trenary came home from both trips with wins.
On Oct. 2, the team took part in an NCKC meet at Trimble County Park.
Trenary finished first in the boys' race with a time of 18:08.42, nearly a minute ahead of the second-place finisher Christian Apel from Trimble County.
Cory Hudnall finished fifth while Logan Bitler placed seventh; Keith Stout finished 12th; Evan Lozier, 15th; Mitchell Griffin, 16th; Howy Herring, 18th; and Kyle Lozier 20th.
Orange Crush – 4 vs. Team Turtleman – 4
In a very tight match, both Orange Crush and Team Turtleman displayed all the skills they've developed over the course of the season. The outcome was uncertain until the final whistle was blown.
PHI Air Medical announced a community-wide effort to educate the community and raise awareness for breast cancer in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness month. The campaign includes a several unique giveaway items and information pieces that are designed to educate and promote the facts surrounding breast cancer, the leading cause of cancer deaths for women ages 20-59.
While breast cancer programs are designed to raise awareness, still, too few across the country truly know the facts regarding breast cancer, which can be startling:

SARASOTA, Fla. - Last week we told you about seniors being targeted over the phone.
We continue our month-long coverage of protecting you against scams with the story of one Sarasota woman who was targeted online.
Wouldn't it be great to win $20 million? Gwen Calloway sure felt that way when she received an email a few years back indicating the large sum of money would be hers --all she would have to do is pay a processing fee.
Well $70,000 later, Gwen has yet to see a penny of that "money."
She describes the last few years of her life as a nightmare. "It has been the worst thing to ever happen to me."
A thing that is becoming more and more of a reality every day, as scammers target people through email.
"It's much easier to use the online tactics and phone tactics, because if you have an organized group, you can blast out a fishing scam…it's like fishing with a net. You cast it out and see how many to reel in," says Steve McDowell with the Sarasota Police Department.
Gwen turned out to be a trophy catch for a scammer who claimed to be from the U.S. Treasury Department, offering the 76-year-old a sum of $20 million in exchange for some processing fees.
"I was paying $1,000 a month for this money. I needed the money badly," says Gwen.
She ended up sending the scammer a total of $70,000. "I have been so robbed and have not been able to go out and buy anything. I haven't been able to do the things that I like to do."
Greg Welsch is Gwen's new friend and caretaker. He's making sure she doesn't get fooled again. "She is not the only one that is a good person that will believe something."
As for Gwen, any time a bogus email enters her inbox now, this is what she believes: "Leave it alone."
Online money offers rank #4 on a list of top internet scams. To protect yourself, you should also be wary of online auctions, lotteries, sweepstakes, investments and internet access services.
Remember, never send money to anyone you don't know. And as always, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

Thanks for helping us sort this video!
Thanks for helping us associate the correct Pornstars to this video!
Help Us: Do these Pornstars appear in this video?
Pornstar Name:
A pretty face with lips made to suck cock, gorgeous tits with nipples begging to be kissed and a lovely wet pussy to welcome my cock. I'd like to spend an hour or two fucking that!
Sorta cute, but it sounds like a new puppy crying to get out of the bathroom. It must be culturally unacceptable or disrespectful to show any signs of enjoyment during sex. After, she was smiling and seemed quite happy. Can some person of Asian descent comment on this norm?
hmmm nice girl
She's rather shy ya know. At the same time tries to "satisfy" him as much as she can, but she seems like she was on pain :( He seems to enjoy it but I can't say the same for her.
shes cute

Move to Amend – Abolish Corporate Personhood
The General Assembly of Occupy Seattle,
Convinced that one critical threat to free and fair elections, and authentic democratic self-governance comes from the fact that corporations have been defined as legal persons,
Declaring that persons are rightfully recognized as human beings whose essential needs include clean air, clean water, and safe and secure food,
Deeply disturbed that the granting of Constitutional protections to corporations has compromised, or resulted in the destruction of our communities, economy, democracy and natural world in many ways,
Convinced that the solution must be comprehensive, and remembering that those who believed defining people as property was immoral did not call for ending one or two parts of slavery, but for abolition of the institution of slavery,
Recalling that corporations are human-made legal fictions, and that human citizens are the source of all legitimate power in any democracy,
Deeply concerned that corporations need only profit for survival, and that such profit and survival are often in direct conflict with the essential needs and rights of human beings,
Having observed that the great wealth of large corporations lets them misuse the legal system to overpower human beings and communities, thus denying We The People's rights,
Recalling that corporations are not mentioned in the Constitution, that The People never granted constitutional rights to corporations, but that individual judges and courts have misguidedly done so without Our consent,
Particularly disturbed that the rollback on legal limits on corporate spending in elections creates an unequal playing field enabling corporations to influence elections, candidate selection, and policy decisions,
Having seen that large corporations own most of America's mass media and use that media as a megaphone for their own agenda, drowning out other voices,
With conviction that defining property as people is fundamentally immoral and a threat to real people, all other life forms, and the planet,
Be it resolved that Occupy Seattle calls for the abolition of corporate personhood. We join the tens of thousands of people, grassroots organizations and local governments across the country in calling for an Amendment to the Constitution to firmly establish that money spent on political campaigns must allow for an equal voice for all people, that human beings, not corporations, have natural rights protected by the Constitution, and that the rights of human beings will never again be granted to artificial entities or property.
-passed in the General Assembly 12/21/11

After many years on the drawing board, the new library at Montachusett Regional Vocational Technical School will soon become a reality.
When the school opened in 1971, the library was considered sufficient for the student enrollment and the level of technology at the time.
However, much has changed since then. The school's enrollment has grown dramatically. Libraries, and the services they provide, have evolved exponentially since the Dewey Decimal Sstem was published in the late 1800s. Monty Tech needed to modernize its school library to align its resources and technology with the demands of 21st century education.
The area has not undergone any major changes since the school opened 40-plus year ago.
"Our existing library was not in compliance with standards set by the New England Association for Schools and Colleges Inc. for a school our size. Also, we were no longer in compliance with the required number of books and resource materials per student. It also lacked available storage area, and a central location for the librarian," said Christina Favreau, director of academic programs.
The existing library had a total of 1,236 books available; the new library will house 6,247 books with space for 7,884. The old library had 12 to 15 databases; the new one is starting out with 38.
Before construction commenced last spring, Mrs. Favreau researched school library standards and requirements set forth by NEASC. A schoolwide committee was then formed to determine design elements and content and technical needs. That was followed by on-site visits to school libraries in the region.
Drafting Technology instructor Genevieve Castillo took the committee's recommendations and incorporated them into a three-dimensional design of the area. She assisted with creating design boards and floors plans that were presented to School Committee members for review and approval.
A school librarian was hired to assist with the planning and to support teachers and students with online research options while the library was being constructed.
"It has truly been a team effort, with the majority of the work, from design to construction, being done by our own teachers and students," said Mrs. Favreau. She noted that the overriding philosophy throughout the project was to ensure that all students had equal access to the library and its services. "All students should have equal access to all materials and services," she said.
According to Monty Tech Facilities Director Richard Ikonen, who has overseen all construction work, plans for the new library have been on the drawing board for a few years. Construction started during last year's April school break, when students and teachers in the House Carpentry program began gutting the entire area and readying it for major reconstruction.
Construction continued throughout the school year and into the summer break. Teachers and students in the building trades spent most of the summer working on the project.
After the area was completely gutted, House Carpentry crews began the framing, partitioning, studding and dry-walling work. A suspended ceiling went up this summer.
Cabinetmaking made and installed all the architectural millwork located throughout the area. They also fabricated and installed the cherry wood cabinetry and solid surface countertop for the main information desk, where the librarian will be situated. Freestanding metal bookshelves, with cherry wood dividers, were installed throughout the room. Installed into the bookshelves are three wooden booths, which will be upholstered for seating.
"I want to also commend Mike Dion, Cabinetmaking teacher, not only for all the amazing work he and his students did, but also for his invaluable input on design and construction," Mrs. Favreau said.
Electrical crews installed all the wiring for lighting, Internet and cable television, and all electrical outlets placed throughout the room. Once the carpeting is in, they will install all the high-tech electronic fixtures. Wireless access throughout the area will power laptop computers and a video/data projector and companion screen.
Teachers and students will be able to use a separate, enclosed classroom area, which features 30 PC laptops and "Smart Board" technology. Two small rooms for studying and lesson preparation are located at the far end of the library.
"Students will find the new library space to be attractive, helpful, inviting and accessible, before and after school. The flexibility of furnishings and technology will encourage collaboration, creativity and a sense of community," said Librarian Jennifer Jourdain.
Mrs. Favreau noted that research shows that libraries play a vital role in student achievement. "According to Nancy Everhart, president of the American Library Association, 'Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that students in schools with strong library programs learn more, get better grades and score higher on standardized test.' "
The new library is expected to be fully operational by the end of October.

After Cooper Dawson turned around one struggling St. Petersburg school, she was asked to do it again. The sixth-year principal embraced the challenge.
She spent five years boosting scores at Seventy-Fourth Street Elementary School and faces a similar task at F-rated Fairmount Park Elementary School.
It takes time, Dawson said, to put a school on a path to success — more time, perhaps, than newly approved Florida legislation will allow. While the attention and headlines have been on teachers, the bill signed this week by Gov. Rick Scott also changes principal evaluations and contracts.
Some fear that the tough new approach — ratings based on student and teacher performance and the ability to recruit and retain effective teachers — might deter some principals from taking on a struggling school.
"We are a little leery, especially somebody like me who was moved from a school that was successful to a school that hasn't been," Dawson said.
Still, Dawson said, the move toward increased accountability for principals makes sense, as long as additional factors they deal with daily are taken into consideration. After all, she said, tough schools can make great gains with children but still not get them to grade level.
"Student growth, student accountability needs to be part of all our evaluations," Dawson said. "If we are not effective, it's not working for kids."
Many principals share Dawson's mixed view of the pending law. They didn't protest as lawmakers debated the measure.
That did not mean they had no concerns about the provisions.
Principal Teresa Anderson, who has led Azalea Middle in St. Petersburg for eight years, noted that her C-rated school sometimes seems like a training ground for young teachers. They take a job at Azalea, where students' attention to school often is second to problems at home. They get training, perform well, and leave for schools with fewer issues, Anderson said.
If she can't keep the effective teachers, she might lose her job, too, despite her efforts.
Possible results like that have some principals wary. But they also recognize it comes with the job description.
Chris Fonteyn, first-year principal of F-rated Miles Elementary in Tampa, was told before taking the post that if he can't turn around Miles, he could lose his job.
"As it should be," he said. "If I can't move this school forward, you should find someone who can."
He said it's only logical that principals be judged on results, as students and teachers are. As long as the state looks at growth, not simple score targets, that's fair, he said.
"We have more room to grow," Fonteyn acknowledged, though he added it's often much harder to make gains at a high-poverty, high-needs school like his.
Kathy Hebda, Florida's deputy chancellor for educator quality, said the state Department of Education considers principals vital to a school's success. The creation of an evaluation system that takes into account everything they do is key to helping them identify strengths and weaknesses in their leadership and their schools, she said.
"We want to give people an honest opportunity for improvement," Hebda said.
Angie Stone, principal of Fivay High School in Hudson, said she's well aware of the changes coming. Pasco County, like many others, began crafting a new principal evaluation format months ago in advance of the bill.
Because principals already have annual contracts and many already see the state's school grade as a partial rating of their work, many principals aren't as upset as teachers are, Stone said. But even as evaluations should change, some attitudes toward education should change, too, said Stone, who is in her seventh year as a principal.
"I think that somewhere along the way, people have come up with the misguided idea that teachers and school administrators don't work," she said. "Not that there aren't bad teachers and bad administrators. But there are bad corporate people, too."

You may remember the infographic we posted awhile back comparing web designers vs web developers, making fun of the stereotypes of each of them. This infographic from Glantz Design is similar to that, except that this one is making fun of graphic designer stereotypes. These stereotypes include Apple die hard, black rimmed glasses, skinny jeans, coffee addict, hip sneakers and more.
For the most part some of these are true, obviously everyone is different and has a different style, but this style seems to be a trend among designers in general. It's always fun to laugh at ourselves once in awhile so hopefully you get a good laugh out of this.

" Brand: Yummy Meats / Type: Beef Jerky "
I recently purchased a pack of five types of Beef Jerky from Yummy Meats, an American brand that have currently set up shop in Tallinn, Estonia and are therefore serving Europe through their website. Originally I was hoping to have five different flavours but settled for three, the best by a considerable distance was the Original flavour.
Not too sweet, not too spicy, the original blend may look like a typical dog chew but it's a great snack. The stylish packaging is about the closest any of us are going to get to the Wild West these days, you can also smell the winds of New Mexico as you open up the packaging, well not quite but it does smell fresh!
The beef is actually from Uruguay, the finest cuts are compressed and dried, it has a slightly salty taste to it but mostly it's just a strong meaty flavour, rather chewy but having spent a summer snacking on dried fish in Iceland, it's really not too tough. I tried the Teriyaki and Cayenne Pepper versions of this snack and neither of them were as palatable, this was the only flavour that I found it easy to eat a 50g bag of in one go.
If you are working out or trying to lose weight than beef jerky is the perfect snack, really low in carbs and fat, it's got a huge amount of protein in and makes a nice alternative to protein shakes, because of it's distinctive dryness though it can only really be eaten on its own, I can't see this fitting in a salad and it's not designed to be cooked.

UK Appliance Repair Questions? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
Hi, welcome to Just Answer. My name is Rob and I will be helping you with your problem today. If anything isnt clear, please just ask me.
When you open the door does the pump stop?
ok, but when you close the door a pump starts?
If I turn off the machine and try to set a program it bleeps and the intense and economy lights flash if I then shut the door the pump kicks in. IThe pumps carries on for about 30 seconds then stops. It sounds like it is trying to drain any water in the system but this happens even if there is no water.
at the beginning of each wash the pump should come on for about 30 seconds to drain away any liquid, so that is correct
Can you hear a slight buzzing noise at the rear of the machine?
no, no noise
Pull the machine out, turn off water, remove inlet hose. Place it in bucket and turn on water, do you have good pressure? Make sure filter in inlet valve is clear
done,sorry k longer integrated machine. inlet hose not blocked. water pressure good
ok and the filter in the inlet valve is clear?
well the likely culprit is the inlet valve not opening to let water in
you need to test the inlet valve for continuity. if its open circuit you will need to replace it
how do i do that?
you need to remove the rear kick panel and locate the inlet valve, its what the inlet hose is attached to. Make sure you turn off the water and the 240v first
ok have found it, can i test it or do i just need to replace it
ok, you need a multi meter to test it
if its open circuit it is faulty and you will need to replace it
see here for replacement part
I hope this answers your question and you click the accept button for me, if you have no further questions . Thanks, Rob

Which is the better version of Chrono Trigger, the PS1 Version, or the SNES version? How does the choice system work, I know they are multiple endings, but very little beyond that. How frequent are they, and what kind of choices are they? Good or evil? The wisest decision? A mix?
There's no morality as far as I know in Chrono Trigger. We're still talking about an SNES game here. I've only gotten one ending, but I think there are 14? I know some of them depend on little decisions you make in the story, or who you bring to the Final Boss fight, or when you fight the final boss (the last two thirds of the game are technically optional).

The DS version has a more accurate translation, but I've heard it said that it lacks the charm of the SNES version..
It's the SNES version with the option for the Animated Cutscenes and arranged music from the PSOne version, and an adjustable interface. Literally the only downside is that there are added side quests that aren't really worth the effort, but they're still completely optional side quests.

Question: Why did Jesus warn people not to share what He had done for them?Posted: January 7, 2010 Filed under: Uncategorized 6 Comments
NOTE: due to an error, this post did not post at its scheduled time, which was Wednesday morning. I apologize.
By far, the most popular question we've received from the first 2 days of reading (Matthew 1-12 & 13-23) is "Why did Jesus warn people not to share what He had done for them?" It is a bit confusing at first because after all, isn't that why we're here and didn't Jesus command us to take the gospel to the nations (Matthew 28-19-20; Acts 1:8)?
Yes, Jesus did command us to take the gospel to the nations, but that was after His rescue mission was complete. Sin's price had been paid and He had conquered death, hell, and Satan by rising from the dead. Prior to the crucifixion and resurrection, there were several instances in Matthew's gospel where Jesus sternly warns people not to share that He is the Messiah or what He has done for them.
In Matthew 8:4, Jesus heals a man with leprosy and says to him, "See that you say nothing to anyone…" In Matthew 9:30, after giving sight to two blind men, Jesus "sternly warned them, 'See that no one knows about it.'" In Matthew 12:16, after healing many people of many diseases, Jesus "ordered them not to make him known." In Matthew 16:20, after the disciples confess Him as the Christ (Messiah), Jesus "strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ." Finally, in Matthew 17:9, after Peter, James, and John witnessed the Transfiguration, Jesus commanded them,"'Tell no one the vision, until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.'"
There are several reasons why Jesus would have made these commands and warnings:
In the case of the leper, Jesus called the man to show himself to the priests in accordance with Levitical law (Leviticus 14) and to let their testimony confirm the man's complete healing of leprosy. The man's testimony may have been disputed, but the priestly testimony would not be.
Jesus didn't come to be a rockstar; He came as Messiah, our Rescuer. Yes, His miracles were done in public and were meant to reveal His divine power and support His claim as Messiah. But, many came to see Him only as a healer and miracle worker and were unwilling to follow those signs to see Him as Messiah. They wanted to see the magic show and get a free meal, not accept Jesus as their Messiah. So, Jesus wanted to fend off as much of this crowd as possible.
Jesus was also aware that the repeated miracles and demonstrations of His divine power could attract a following that would try to raise Him up as a great political and/or military leader. This was the historical expectation many Jews had of the Messiah and of course, nothing about Jesus' birth, family, life, and public ministry lined up with this thinking. Jesus did not want people to become fanatical about Him and attempt to raise Him up as the political or military leader they expected Messiah to be. Also, Jesus did not want to prematurely incite the religious establishment that would then come after Him and have Him killed for His claims to be Messiah. This was, after all, why Jesus was killed – He claimed to be the King of the Jews, yet the Jews did not receive Him. The timing of it all had to be according to the Father's plan.
In all of these, there is a bottom line reason why Jesus would warn people as He did: "Perhaps the most important reason Jesus did not want His miracle power to be too highly acclaimed was that this was not the time of His exaltation but of His humiliation" (John MacArthur). Jesus' life was one of astounding humility (Phil. 2:5-12). His death was worse than that of the worst criminal. And all of it was so that His resurrection would be that much more a demonstration of His power and Messiahship. The miracles were mere previews of what was to come. Before He would be exalted, He would be deeply humiliated.
Jesus didn't come to be exalted as a miracle worker who cured people's physical needs. He came to be exalted as the Resurrected Messiah who cured people's deepest spiritual need.
Hope that helps.

New Delhi, Dec 20 (IANS) The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has asked its Indian member, Randhir Singh, to ensure that "illegitimate individuals" don't function as office-bearers of the suspended Indian Olympic Association (IOA).
The development in the IOA-IOC stand-off comes in the wake of revelations that newly-elected IOA secretary general Lalit Bhanot was officially communicating with the national sports federations.
"The IOC is extremely concerned by the ongoing situation of the suspended Indian Olympic Association and the misappropriation of responsibilities and properties by a number of illegitimate individuals claiming to represent the suspended Indian Olympic Association whereas the IOC has already made it clear that the so-called 'elections' were null and void and are not recognised by the IOC," IOC Director General Christophe De Kepper wrote in a letter to Randhir Singh Wednesday.
Kepper said the latest actions by the administrators of the suspended body aggravated the controversial matter.
"All individuals involved (directly or by complicity) will be held responsible and the IOC will reserve the right to take any action against them."
The letter added: "In your capacity as an IOC member, we request that you (Randhir) take all necessary measures and, if appropriate, any legal action at the national level against these individuals in order to protect all assets and properties of the suspended Indian Olympic Association."
It was reported that Bhanot had begun correspondence with the sports federations on the preparations for major sporting events in the near future.

THE default praise from the judges on The X Factor, Channel Seven's reality music show, is that each performance, or the entrant responsible, is ''incredible'', even when they're plainly not.
What's genuinely incredible about the series itself is that, despite returning in the wake of the phenomenally successful debut season of The Voice, a dangerously similar production, The X Factor has barely missed a beat.
It continues to post impressive audience figures on Monday and Tuesday nights. Conventional wisdom had it that The X Factor was going to be ratings roadkill after The Voice had effectively stolen its thunder.
It was no empty threat, as the Channel Nine behemoth had already badly dented another established Channel Seven success, Australia's Got Talent. By the time that show concluded at the end of July, it was no longer able to break the benchmark figure of 1 million viewers in the five main capitals.
But it turns out The X Factor is resilient. Since it returned in August, the show has drawn between 1.4 million and 1.6 million viewers an episode and has repeatedly been the evening's top ratings draw.
There might be a dearth of strong contestants for reality singing competitions because of competing franchises, but there is a viable audience for more than one show in which contestants are praised for merely being able to sing and play piano at the same time.
The X Factor tactic has been to go for the young. Piggybacking off the success of One Direction, the boy band that finished third in the 2010 series of show's British edition and has since broken globally to sell 12 million records (and counting), the Australian show's fourth season placed an emphasis on youth, with an explicit aim to create a boy band in the mould of One Direction.
You have to feel for Guy Sebastian, the judge and mentor with responsibility for the contestants aged 25 and older.
The X Factor has always literally put on a song-and-dance routine for contestants, bestowing industry success on amateurs enjoying their 15 minutes. But there appears to be a disparity towards the teenagers this year. The production for the boy band Fourtunate's stroll through the Footloose theme appeared designed to wow in a manner not afforded the prospective soul balladeers and country singers.
Favouring the teen market can have its disadvantages, both comic and otherwise. After an enthusiastic performance by the boy band the Collective, Sebastian, a comparatively clean-cut pop star, noted how one of the group was ''committed to those pelvic thrusts''. But producers have already sacked one contestant, Perth's Josh Brookes, because he allegedly tried to solicit nude photos from female fans online, a reminder that television can create more than just stars. Whether youth is a successful long-term strategy remains to be seen.
The third prospective boy band, the highly fancied What About Tonight, was voted out after just the second of 10 knockout rounds, but if the drift towards the teen market becomes a noticeable bias, then The X Factor may start to shed older members of the audience.
The series is helped by the strength of the judging panel. While Sebastian, Natalie Bassingthwaighte, Ronan Keating and former Spice Girl Mel B don't quite have the celebrity lustre - or the revolving chair technology - of their rivals on The Voice, they are a seasoned and reliable collection.
But I miss Mel B's memorable verdicts from her first season, including the wonderful: ''As a group, I didn't feel the groupness of you.''
The producers have also decided that the best way to fill out Tuesday night's verdict show is to stage a mini Countdown revival, with successful artists such as Pink and Lady Antebellum appearing to plug their singles last week.
The third guest act, the Veronicas, had to deliver a medley, although you have to wonder about the replica AK-47 assault rifles.
The X Factor has avoided shooting itself in the foot so far, but there's a long way to go yet.

I really wanted my new MioLINK wrist band HRM to work. I HATE the new Garmin chest straps because they chafe my chest and underarms so much. I pre-ordered the grey model with large wristband for $99.
They missed their estimated shipping date by 7 days - April 17 instead of April 10, no big deal. I received the MioLINK yesterday. The manual is in 10 languages, but mostly worthless. It doesn't tell you that the unit doesn't come charged, so you must charge it for 5 to 8 hours before use. I called customer service in California. Fortunately they were open pretty late and also have some phone hours on Saturday. They claim to have 24/7 email support as well.
My unit showed no signs of life until it charged for over an hour. The crucial problem is that it does a TERRIBLE job of measuring your heart rate. I put the unit on my right wrist and my Garmin 610 on my left wrist. The units were never more than 2 feet apart when I ran. The wristband is extremely comfortable, but after searching for a new HR device on my Garmin, I had a difficult time getting the HR to register. I turned the MioLINK off and on again - you have to hold the power button down for a couple to three seconds.
During my 15 mile run, my heart rate often fluctuated wildly from the low 100s to 180 or 190. I run this route every Saturday and know these values to be wrong. The HR graph in Garmin Training center confirmed that I was getting wildly inaccurate readings. I may be wearing the wrist unit incorrectly, but there are no pictures on the website or in the Quick Start Guide directing the user to wear it any different than a training watch. Maybe I am not wearing it high enough on my wrist. When I tried to push it higher on my wrist, it kept sliding down toward the thinnest part of my wrist, as you would expect. I will try some training tape Monday morning to try to keep it higher on my wrist.
If that doesn't work, I will contact customer service Monday. I may have received a bad unit.
Update to original Post
I fully charging the MioLINK overnight. After a 2 mile warm-up with my dog, I put it on my right wrist 2" above my wrist bones and cinched it down pretty tight to keep it from sliding down. The tacky rubber on the wristband does a pretty good job of keeping the unit higher on my wrist, but I will reserve judgment until it gets much warmer out.
I gave the MioLink unit a good 60 seconds to acquire my heart rate before turning my Garmin 610 on. I then completed 6 miles with 6X600M intervals at 5K pace. I was very happy with the results. These results are VERY comparble to my chest strap results. Other than a couple mystery spikes early on, the HR tracking during the intervals looks spot on.
Here is the graph from my Garmin Connect:
I could not get the jpeg to upload, so I had to privide the link to Garmin Connect. I provided access to everyone, so I hope the link works. Please let me know if otherwise.)
