text: Home > Sports Russia defies critics to throw World Cup party Dmitry ZAKS, Agence France-Presse Posted at Jun 14 2018 10:51 AM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn A presenter holds the official match ball for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia during an event to announce the new 2018 FIFA Fan Fest Ambassadors in Moscow, Russia November 29, 2017. Maxim Shemetov, Reuters MOSCOW, Russia -- The World Cup kicks off in Russia on Thursday as years of preparations dogged by diplomatic scandals give way to a month of action on the field in football's global showpiece. Russia get the ball rolling against Saudi Arabia at the completely refurbished 80,000-capacity Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow after an opening ceremony attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin. Brazil have won the title a record five times while defending champions Germany are on four and determined to draw level with the Brazilians when the final is played at Luzhniki on July 15. There was little romance in the prelude as Russia's problems -- from racism and hooliganism to a foreign policy sharply at odds with the West -- were exposed and scrutinised. Britain and some eastern European states still haunted by Moscow's rule in the Soviet era tried to organise a diplomatic boycott over the poisoning in England of a former Russian spy. Neither the British royal family nor British government members will attend, but a wider boycott effort fizzled out. Russian organisers say they expect more than 20 heads of state to attend the opening match. "We would like to underscore the validity of the FIFA principle of sport being outside politics," Russian leader Putin told a meeting Wednesday of football's governing body FIFA. "Russia has always adhered to this principle," Putin said. READ: Spain in chaos 2 days before World Cup after coach fired - Hearts and minds - A statue of Vladimir Lenin is pictured outside the stadium after training. Kai Pfaffenbach, Reuters Russia is spending more than $13 billion (11 billion euros) on its most important event since the 1980 Moscow Summer Olympics. The money will boost Putin's already sky-high prestige at home even further by giving many of the 11 host cities their first facelifts in generations. Cities like Saransk were sleepy outposts with decaying buildings until World Cup construction workers put them firmly in the 21st century. The tournament also offers Putin a chance to project Russia as a global player that is accepted and respected even while being at odds with the United States. Russia is pulling it all off while bearing the brunt of international sanctions that began after it invaded and annexed Ukraine's Crimea in 2014. Moscow's military backing of Bashar al-Assad's regime in Syria and alleged meddling in the 2016 US election on President Donald Trump's behalf only deepened its worst rift with the West since the Cold War. Putin hopes the most watched event on the planet provides Russia with the 'soft power' needed to capture a sceptical world's hearts and minds. "Our goal is to make everyone, from football stars to ordinary fans, feel the good will and hospitality of our people ... so that they want to come back here again," Putin said Wednesday. - Racism and riots - FIFA President Gianni Infantino (L) presents a memorable pennon to Russian President Vladimir Putin during the 68th FIFA Congress in Moscow, Russia June 13, 2018. Alexei Nikolsky, Kremlin/Sputnik via Reuters Russia's troubles do not end in the high-brow world of geopolitics. The bloody beating English fans took from nearly 200 Russian thugs at Euro 2016 in France has plagued preparations as much as any diplomatic dispute. Neo-Nazi hooligans who organise mass fights in forests and chant racist slurs at players have lorded over Russian stadiums for years. The anti-discrimination network Fare said Russia's football federation was making matters worse by punishing those who reacted to racist abuse "while ignoring the perpetrators". Security services have either locked up or checked in on hundreds of hoodlums to make sure they do nothing to tarnish Russia's image. The scare tactics have worked. Some football gang members say they will be skipping town once the games begin to avoid getting rounded up. Russia refused to issue tickets to nearly 500 of its supporters with suspected football underworld ties. England has forced over 1,000 known hooligans to hand in their passports. - Field of dreams - General view outside the Ekaterinburg Arena. Andrew Couldridge, Reuters Yet from the moment Russia gets the party started against the Saudis -- they are the two lowest-ranked teams in the tournament -- the focus will shift to the pitch. Brazil enter the fray on Sunday when they take on Switzerland. The Germans start their campaign against Mexico the same day. The World Cup received its first dose of drama when 2010 winners Spain sacked coach Julen Lopetegui just two days before their opening game Friday against Portugal. Brazil held its breath waiting for Neymar's right foot to heal from a March 3 operation, but the world's most expensive player has scored in his last two matches. Less certain is the strength of the shoulder Egypt's super-striker Mohamed Salah hurt in Liverpool's Champions League loss to Real Madrid, but Salah is training again. And the preparations of Argentina and Lionel Messi -- the attacking genius who has won everything but a World Cup -- were jolted by a scandal over their cancellation of a controversial friendly with Israel in Jerusalem. Russia's own buildup has been wrought with worries about the team embarrassing in front of a global audience of billions. The hosts have broken Russian and Soviet records by going winless in seven matches and dropping to 70th in the world, meaning no coach faces as much pressure as Stanislav Cherchesov. "We have to take all the criticism and turn it into something positive," Cherchesov said. © Agence France-Presse For more sports coverage, visit the ABS-CBN Sports website.

The Package. The GT-E 6.3 is a 6300 W (6.3 kilowatt) grid-tie solar package featuring Enphase microinverters and high-quality Italian-made 60 cell Peimar 300W solar panels. SnapNrack mounting components for a comp shingle roof are included, for a 3H7W Portrait layout (contact us for custom racking layouts). Why did we pick 6.3W for this Enphase GT-E system? 6.3kW would be a good system for an average house, or somewhere between 70-130% of an average American household's daily energy use (depending on how many average peak sun hours you have in your location).
Enphase. This package includes the new Enphase IQ6+ Microinverters with even more efficient, light weight, and simplified ease of installation than the prior generation! Enphase microinverters can provide more energy than a standard string inverter. This is because individual Enphase microinverters increase energy output from each solar panel by constantly tracking their individual maximum power point (MPPT). So shade on one module won't bring down the production of the whole string or array!
Customize. Want to make a change this package? Please call us at 1-800-766-7644 to customize this package for your specific needs!

New York Giants at Dallas Cowboys - 10/19/14 NFL PIck, Odds, Prediction
New York Giants (3-3) at Dallas Cowboys (5-1)
NFL Football: Sunday
The Line: Dallas Cowboys -6.5 -- Over/Under: 47.5 See the Latest Odds
The New York Giants and Dallas Cowboys will square off Sunday afternoon at AT&T Stadium.
The New York Giants look to improve a game above .500 with a win here and will have to do so without wide receiver Victor Cruz. Cruz is without the remainder of the season with a knee injury, which puts the pressure on Rueben Randle to carry the offense. Randle is second on the team with 247 receiving yards and two touchdowns. Eli Manning is completing 65.1 percent of his passes for 11 touchdowns and five interceptions. The Giants have won eight of their last 12 games when Manning has not thrown an interception. The Giants ground game is averaging 3.7 yards per carry, and Rashad Jennings and Andre Williams have combined for more than 600 rushing yards and four touchdowns. However, Jennings is expected to miss this game with a knee injury. Defensively, the New York Giants allow 23 points, 378 yards, and they've forced 12 turnovers and 11 sacks. Jacquian Williams leads the Giants with 44 tackles and Antrel Rolle has three interceptions.
USA TODAY Sports
The Dallas Cowboys have won five straight games and have the best rushing attack in the country. DeMarco Murray leads the NFL with 785 rushing yards and six touchdowns, and the Cowboys have won seven of their last 10 games when he rushes for more than 100 yards. Tony Romo is completing 68.6 percent of his passes for 11 touchdowns and five interceptions, and he's thrown seven touchdowns and one pick in his last three games. Dez Bryant and Terrance Williams have produced more than 750 receiving yards and nine touchdowns, and the Cowboys have produced 17 passing plays of 20 or more yards. Defensively, the Dallas Cowboys are allowing 21 points, 342.5 yards, and they've forced 10 turnovers and six sacks. Barry Church leads the Cowboys with 33 tackles and Brandon Carr has five pass deflections.
The Giants are 3-7 ATS vs. a team with a winning record and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games in October. The Cowboys are 2-5 ATS in their last 7 home games and 4-1 ATS in their last 5 games overall. The Giants are 4-1 ATS in their last 5 meetings in Dallas.
The Giants were always a pretender even during their little winning streak they had going. The Cowboys proved they are legit last week and while I am concerned about a potential letdown here, I have to take Dallas at home as long as the line is under a touchdown.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Form I-539 is used by foreign nationals who are already residing in the U.S. and who want to change, extend, initiate, or reinstate their nonimmigrant status in the U.S. – without having to leave and apply for a new visa. The more common uses of this form are for dependents of people on work visas, students, and visitors in the United States. Examples include a visitor or a spouse of someone on a work visa who wishes to extend his or her time in the U.S. or a student who needs to reinstate his or her F-1 status.
This form is not used for all nonimmigrant visa categories, and it is not always clear, even in the instructions for the form, as to when it is specifically required. Therefore, it is important to consult an attorney regarding whether you need to use this form for the purposes you have in mind.
For most situations, the fee for Form I-539 is $370 (as of 2017). However, as described below, USCIS requires additional fees of some applicants (usually in cases where you have to submit additional forms.) Also, some applicants do not have to pay a fee, and some can ask that the fees be waived.
If you hire an attorney to handle the application, expect to pay $500 and up for what is commonly a fixed fee service. Read on to get more detail.
It is critically important that you use the most up-to-date I-539 form and pay the latest fee. If one or the other is incorrect, USCIS will reject the application, which could affect your status and ability to remain in the United States.
The fee amounts and form versions change from time to time. Before filing an application, visit USCIS's website, www.uscis.gov, to check for the most up-to-date fees and forms.
While most applicants filing Form I-539 will pay the regular amount ($370 in 2017), you will need to double-check on the exact amount for your own situation, depending on what you are requesting. You may also need to use different or supplemental USCIS forms.
People requesting diplomatic visas (A-1, A-2, G-1 through G-4, and NATO) need not pay the $370 fee. However, they must include a Form I-566 (Interagency Record of Request -- A, G or NATO Dependent Employment Authorization or Change/Adjustment to/from A, G or NATO Status) with their application.
People applying for V visas must pay the biometric fee ($85 in 2017) in addition to the basic I-539 fee. V visa applicants should also read Supplement A to Form I-539, which is an informational form which includes additional instructions about the V visa application.
When paying the fees, it is critically important to list the fee correctly on your check or money order. If the amounts are not exactly correct, the application will be rejected, which could impact your ability to stay in the United States. When filing multiple applications, you can include all the fees in one check. However, it is best to include the fees in separate checks, because if one or more applications are rejected, all will be rejected if all the fees are included in one check. USCIS will not accept overpayments, nor will it refund partial payments.
The fees must be paid by check or money order drawn on a bank or other financial institution located in the U.S., and must be payable in U.S. currency. Make the check or money order out to the "U.S. Department of Homeland Security." You should spell out "U.S. Department of Homeland Security" as opposed to using the initials such as "USDHS."
USCIS permits Form I-539 to be filed online (E-Filing) for some of the visas classifications. When e-filing Form I-539, you can make payment via credit card, debit card, or electronic transfer of funds from a checking or savings account from a U.S. bank.
When applying for certain benefits, USCIS allows applicants to request a waiver of some fees. (8 CFR 103.7(c)(3).) In particular, anyone required to pay the biometric fee can request a waiver, and dependents of the E-2 CNMI Investor Visa are also eligible to request a waiver of the Form I-539 filing fee. Please see USCIS's website for more information on fee waivers.
You don't need to pay a lawyer if you have a simple situation, you understand the laws, and easily qualify to extend or change your visa status. However, if you are unsure about any aspect of the rules, have any special circumstances, or just need to make sure it's done right the first time, it's a good idea to hire a lawyer. As with many USCIS applications, the documentation needed to obtain the benefit can be confusing and complex - and sometimes issues you didn't even consider can cause long-term problems and delays. Having an attorney handle the application can help ensure everything is done right, and avoid potential pitfalls.
If you hire an attorney to help with the application, the fee for services will probably be a flat fee, rather than an hourly one. This type of case is relatively standard, so you shouldn't have to worry about billing hours - and your bill - becoming more than you expected.
You can expect a lawyer to charge anywhere between $500 and $1,500 to handle your extension or change of status.
Note, however, that the quoted fee will be separate from the Form I-539 filing fees, which you will be responsible for paying. Most likely the attorney will ask you to bring in the checks or money orders, and he or she will take care of including these with your application.

Hibbitt, Karlsson & Sorensen, Inc., Providence, RI 02906
An infinite linear elastic body containing a semi-infinite crack is loaded by a planar antiplane stress pulse parallel to the crack. The stress wave strikes the crack at time t =0 and at some arbitrary later time t f , the crack begins to extend straight ahead with constant speed v o . After some later t b , the crack suddenly stops, then kinks and propagates with constant speed v c , making an angle δ with the original crack. A superposition scheme is used to construct the exact full-field solution of the propagating crack. The full-field solution for stresses for the constant speed propagating crack with a delay time t f is found to be the Mode III analog of Baker's problem in Mode I plus the stress pulse, and the displacement on the crack faces behind the moving crack tip is just the solution of Baker's problem when expressed in crack tip coordinates and is independent of the delay time t f . When the crack suddenly stops, the stress field, which is radiated out from the stopped crack tip, corresponds to the stationary crack stress field of a crack whose crack tip has been at the stopped crack position for all time. The dynamic stress intensity factor at the kinked crack tip is then obtained by using a perturbation method. The region of the stress intensity factor controlled field is investigated for both stationary and propagating cracks. It is found that this region depends on the loading conditions and which stress components are considered. The region also depends on the crack tip speed and will contract as the crack tip speed increases.

last christmas, we chartered a yacht and sailed the whitsundays for a very lazy ten days. alas, this year, it was not to be… there was much water, but conclusively not quite the same! this festive season has been a lot more subdued by all accounts, outside of the feasting, a few good drams, and a lot more cigars!
on the yacht, for openers, i thoroughly enjoyed a box of 25 partagas serie D4, an exquisite spicy robusto, perfect for the open ocean. each and every one just as good as the one before. i lament only the one fumbled overboard (as i was lighting it off the stub of the previous stick in some unusually turbulent water) … and then to comfort myself, declared the fallen cigar a sacrifice to poseidon for fair waters, the signature red band winking at me as i watched it disappear at a rapid rate of knots into the wide blue yonder in our wake.
the vegas robaina unicos and h upmann magnum 50's were also a treat for my brother and i, although the girls were rather disgusted that we'd already finished our first smoke during a dawn swim, before offering them a demi tasse by el rey del mundo with breakfast (because of course, real ladies never smoke before noon!)
this christmas, hoyo de monterrey epicure no 2 and hoyo de monterrey double coronas have featured predominantly, with a couple of ramone allones small club coronas thrown in for good measure. a 20 year-old bruichladdie rounded out the break.

CHATSWORTH, Calif. (CBS.MW) - Shares of Capstone Turbine plummeted more than 30 percent Wednesday, one day after the maker of low-emission turbine systems said it sees a third-quarter loss lower than what analysts had expected.
Capstone lost $1.53 to close at $3.47 on volume of 8.4 million. The stock set a new 52-week low on the session.
Late Tuesday, Capstone estimated that it would lose 16 to 18 cents a share on revenue of $3.2 million to $3.4 million due to slowing demand for its products.
Analysts polled by Thomson Financial/First Call expected Chatsworth, Calif.-based Capstone to lose, on average, 12 cents a share in the third quarter. On the top line, analysts were expecting average revenue of $13.4 million.
Capstone also expects to post a negative gross margin of $2.1 million as factory overhead costs exceeded the number of units shipped. The brokerage Adams Harkness lowered its rating on the stock to "market perform" from "accumulate"
Capstone CPST, -2.44% which makes an environmentally-friendly power generating system, noted that it warned on Aug. 22 of lower-than-expected sales.
"Shipments during the month of September were lower than originally expected," stated President and CEO Dr. Ake Almgren.
Almgren believes Capstone's $180 million in cash and equivalents is sufficient for the company to survive through the weak economy.
Capstone will release its third-quarter results on Oct. 25.

Impact Wrestling News: Recently released WWE star debuts at Bound For Glory 2017
The reports from PWInsider were on point as Jimmy Jacobs debuted at the recently concluded Bound for Glory PPV (BFG) of Impact Wrestling. He just made his entrance and walked up towards the commentary team in a short segment:
The former WWE writer was released, fired in all honesty, from the WWE last month after he took a photo with the Bullet Club when the NJPW faction invaded RAW.
An accomplished wrestler in his own right, Jacobs is an ROH legend whose in-ring career began in 1999. He is a 5-time ROH World Tag Team Champion and has won the Tag Team titles tournament with Tyler Black (Seth Rollins) in 2008.
The controversial star returned to the promotion soon after his WWE release at Global Wars: Chicago. He showed pure writer's instincts by using his real-life firing angle with the WWE by appearing in the crowd and taking a selfie with the Bullet Club.
Apart from his successful indie career, Jacobs also worked as an in-ring performer for the WWE, but never went beyond being a mere enhancement talent.
Jacobs will also be returning to Combat Zone Wrestling under the 'Unprofessional' Jimmy Jacobs moniker, a clear dig at the WWE and his departure.
However, will he male it big in Impact Wrestli
In case you're not into Impact, check out this rare indie gem. It's Jacobs teaming up with Rollins to take on the team of Daniel Bryan and Austin Aries.

C.S. Lewis's The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe always seemed like The Lord of the Rings for Sunday Schoolers, yet for the most part, Disney's lavish cinematic adaptation of the novel focuses less on its ever-present and distracting bibilical allegory (which caused even Lewis's pal J.R.R. Tolkien some indigestion) and more on its magic-and-monsters fantasy. It's a futile tactic, though, as Andrew Adamson's film, while respectable, can't escape the lengthy shadow of Peter Jackson's Academy Award-winning Rings trilogy, proving incapable of approximating a suitably epic scale or an emotional or thematic resonance to sustain its out-of-this-world adventure from start to finish. And in the wake of last month's fourth Harry Potter installment, the sight of cyclopes, minotaurs, centaurs, ogres, dwarfs, fauns, and all types of talking forest animals—as well as the image of wide-eyed kids trying to come to terms with the extraordinary creatures before them—merely elicits a disinterested ho-hum that's only moderately palliated by Tilda Swinton's malevolently icy performance as the White Witch, Narnia's would-be conqueror. Its CGI serviceable, Adamson's direction competent, and its young lead actors solid and largely affectation-free, Narnia's tale of four kids during WWII who stumble upon a wardrobe which allows them access to a wintry Never Never Land nonetheless persistently feels wearisomely familiar and slight.
Despite Adamson and his three fellow screenwriters' thorough attempts to whitewash the story's more religious features, the film still never manages to fully escape its roots as a spiritual parable. And the devout (who've been setting up church-sponsored screenings around the country for the past month) will find significant Christian undercurrents to latch onto, primarily because Lewis's narrative was a model of unsubtle New Testament symbolism. When responsible Susan Pevensie (Anna Popplewell) tells younger sister Lucy (Georgie Henley) that a wardrobe can't operate as an inter-dimensional portal because "logically, it's impossible," the unspoken implication—you gotta have faith—hangs heavily in the air. Once in Narnia, the kids quickly find themselves at the center of an impending war between the Satanic White Witch and Christ-like Aslan (voiced by Liam Neeson), a virtuous lion who ultimately dies for the sins of Judas-ish Pevensie brother Edmund (Skandar Keynes)—as well as for the good of Narnia—only to be reborn in time to conquer the forces of evil. To say that it's all more than a bit simplistic and heavy-handed would be a severe understatement. But there's no denying the unintentional hilarity of Aslan's overwrought death scene, in which he's bound, shaved, mocked by a screaming mob, and killed in some sort of surreal anthropomorphic PG version of The Passion of the Christ.
Not a pretty film but the image is wonderfully detailed: The snow is vibrant-bright white but never overblown-and the wardrobe (at least in the little of it that we see) reveals remarkable textures on its surface. The only real problem is edge enhancement-a minor nuisance but present almost entirely throughout. The DTS track is a beast to be reckoned with. It's so good it almost makes Aslan seem scary.
Two commentary tracks on the first disc, one by director Andrew Adamson and the four young stars of the film, the other by Adamson, production designer Roger Ford, and producer Mark Johnson. Plenty of sweet reminiscences spread out across both tracks. The first one suggests Adamson flipping through a photo album with a group of British street urchins huddled around him, and for the second, because Ford couldn't join Adamson and Johnson, his transmission (possibly from a speaker phone) brings to mind someone chiming in from a different world (in this case Australia). Also on disc one: a bunch of bloopers and a feature that splatters "fun facts" on the screen throughout the film. The serpentine features on disc two are divided into two categories. Under Creating Narnia: a totem to Adamson (who apparently "makes movies for the child in all of us" and considers the film a "small, character-based movie"), the grueling but "magical" process the film's young actors underwent in order to bring their characters to life, a four-part chronicle of the film's evolution from book to screen (it begins with a C.S. Lewis bio and ends with the creation of the film's creatures), and an anatomy of the impressively constructed melting river scene. Under Creatures, Lands & Legends, you can explore the world of Narnia via a really detailed interactive map, follow the storyline using an interactive timeline, and get to know the creatures of the world through Lewis's prose.
The features on this elaborate two-disc collection have been smartly divided into two categories to mirror the different worlds of the film. A fun and literate package.

This summer has definitely flown by! I can't believe that it is almost time for SSL training, orientation, and the start of classes. Though I spent most of my summer working in the academic affairs and academic services offices on campus (and trying not to die of heat exhaustion living in Main), I found time to do some riding, hang out with my family, and hear some great live music.
Even though I was not living at home this summer (for the first time ever), I only live about a 90-minute drive from Hollins, so I went home fairly regularly. It ended up that every time I went home, I got to hear some great music! Examples include:
- Just before my birthday, Rising Appalachia (one of my favorite bands) came to one of my favorite restaurants in Harrisonburg. My mom and my sister also love Rising Appalachia, so it was a great night out with my family.
This is Rising Appalachia performing one of my favorite songs. I always listened to this when I was feeling homesick in London: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-16VK4dwuI
- A few weeks later, we attended the inaugural Red Wing Roots Music Festival at Natural Chimneys, about 20 minutes away from my house. Even though we got very wet, the lineup was amazing! My favorites included the Duhks, who I hadn't seen since I was about eleven years old and love very much; the Wiyos; the Steel Wheels, who organized the festival; Sam Bush; the Judy Chops; Pokey LaFarge; and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band.

- During the first week of August, we made our annual expedition to the Appalachian String Band Music Festival in Clifftop, West Virginia. It was pretty muddy, but we managed to have a good time anyway. It's always nice to see some of my oldest friends there, and the music and dancing were fabulous. I was a bit disappointed, though, because the river was too high for our usual swimming hole to be safe!
- I just got back from seeing Grace Potter and the Nocturnals in Charlottesville with my mom. I've seen Grace Potter a few times before, including when she opened for the Avett Brothers in London, but I've never seen a full-length show and it was incredible. She is so high-energy and clearly has a blast at every performance.

Other than my musical adventures, my summer has mostly been occupied by studying for the GRE, which I will take in September and am very grumpy about, and riding. I have been lucky enough to get to ride a lot this summer; usually, I will wake up early and ride two horses every day before running down to campus in time for work. Thankfully, my supervisors were willing to work with my schedule to allow me to ride, and they put up with me even though I don't have time to shower! All this riding has allowed me to get back in shape as well as keeping some of our horses going. Right now, we are starting to get horses ready for the start of lessons. Some riders will come back early to get horses going, but right now it's just me starting a few horses that have been off for a long time due to injuries. It's not always easy or glamorous, but I am immensely grateful for all the saddle time I've gotten to get in this summer.
I will once again be the SSL for Professors Bohland and Schumm's first-year seminar, and I cannot wait. It's a new seminar this year, but I had such a fantastic time with them last year that I can't wait to do it again. SSL training starts on the 25th, orientation begins on the 29th, First Step (more to come on that) is September 3rd, and classes start the 4th! It's going to be a busy few weeks, but I am more than ready to get back into the swing of Hollins life.

TONY Clubb is looking forward to an injury-free 2016 – after revealing he played all of last season with a nasty elbow problem.
By the end of the campaign, the prop was unable to bend his arm and was playing with pain-killing injections.
But surgery has corrected the problem and he is now tearing into pre-season training without any setbacks.
Clubb said: "I had some floating bones which got stuck in my elbow, and so I couldn't bend my arm.
"I played the full year with it, I did it in America (at a pre-season camp) and by the end it was annoying me. If I did my weights, I'd feel it get stuck in my joint and I couldn't bend my arm.
"But I had it cleaned out and now I can bend it. It's nice it's sorted and out the way."
Clubb, 28, played down the impact the injury had during the season which finished with a Grand Final appearance last month.
"It wasn't too bad, I'd have a jab – plus I'm a front-rower, I don't need to pass the ball," he smiled.
His off-season break included a family holiday to Paris, in the same week as the terrorist attack.
"We got on the train that night it all kicked off," he revealed. "Disneyland is a bit out the way but, still, it was obviously not nice what happened."
The former London Broncos skipper is now back in training with the majority of his team-mates in preparation for next season.
"The five weeks have shot by, but it's good to be back in," he added.
"Pre-seasons are always hard but what we do now to when I started my career is loads different.
"Back then, it was pretty much just run. Now we have the technical things, the Vo2, the tests, the supplement - I was probably working as hard but not as smart as we do now."

Hi All,
Further to Spices 10 request if you use a program called mobile media maker it will allow you to create MP4 files(will regiser as a 3gp file but is the same as mp4) for the lastest range of SE phones. If you want the web address email me @ firstname.lastname@example.com
Does any know what program i can use to convert a video file into a MP4 file so that i can transfer them onto the K750 for playback. Most of the files i have are either AVI or Mpeg.
Any ideas?
AAC is jsut another file format like MP4 and this phone only records in 3GP but plays MP4 (Mpeg4), AAC and 3GP! You will have to convert 3GP with a program to MP4 or AAC as there betetr formats but 3GP is smaller file size! The loud speaker is pretty quiet compared to Nokia's but could be good for you so see if you can hear the loudspeaker before you buy the phone! The video reocrs until your memory runs out so free some memory to get more video recording!
A simple stereo headset comes with the phone but W800 comes with a betetr one plus a 512MB memory card isntead of a 64MB one like this one does!
Apantly the phone has a CMOS sensor but will change to a CCD one!
Now The best you can get is K750i.It got everything you need and you can get printabel photos with 2megapixel camera.Aonther point is the autofocus.It also support 1gig memory!!!
go for the best and forget the rest, one and only one-nokia 6230i. the best phone of all time and masterpiece of all legendary phone.
i own this beauty for 2 weeks now and havent hanged at all and i dont know why some ppl say mine is hanging n bringin othr problems
i live in dubai n bought this for 1450 drhm (1$=3.65 drhm) and its simfree as in dubai we have only ETISALAT .
i love this phone it has everything some1 can ask for
mp3,radio. megapixel camera although its CMOS matrix but still goodenough and u can use mp3 as a ringtone and its very loud and mp3 player can also run at background and battry life is really cool compare to any nokia phone so i ask those who alwyas comeup with some drawback. WHAT IS THE PROBLEM????
Hi everybody,
Yup this is simply a great handset and I can´t wait to put my hands on one! I´ll soon have a chance to buy one in Hong Kong, so I´d like to ask if anyone here knows about the differences between K750c and K750i. Is it just about chinese language included or anything else?
read on the other forum that this phone has a freeze problem and crash .. anyone experience this ??? because i'm about to buy this phone
Can anyone tell if a stereo headset is supplied in-box along with the phone?
Questions to the owners of this beauty! ;)
1. Is there a feature which enables u to enter a pass code before picking up the phone while it's ringing?
2. Can you enter a phone number so that when the number calls, the busy tone comes out. I know it's in the T610
3. Are the ringontes (as mp3) loud enough? If yes, how loud. Compared to a Nokia phone (6630 maybe?)
4. Can you record phone call conversations, if yes, whats the time limit?
5. Is it possible to lock the phone keys with a passcode like the nokia?
(i know u could lock the keys)
Thank you
can someone help me. even on silent mode, when i hang up the phone, or after a call, there is a loud tone. does anybody know how to turn that off?
But the sensor of the camera is CCD or CMOS??
Someone say that for the first model will be CMOS and than CCD.
you have english, french,arabic and two other languages which i have no clue about
can u tell me what r the languages included in this phone??? thnx
can any tell me how to increase the video recording length....i am able to record only for 10 sec.
hey im plannin to buy this phone on tuesday...wht do u mean BY AAC player..the fone rocks but i have only once q'stion will it play MP4 files...plz some1 reply for me or email me.

SAN FRANCISCO (05/05/2000) - Hard drives keep getting bigger, faster, and cheaper--and often the interface between the drive and the motherboard can't keep up. But a group of more than two dozen vendors of PCs, drives, and interfaces is banding together to write a new specification designed to solve current problems and speed the growth of drive technology.
The SerialATA Working Group is writing a specification to connect various peripherals and removable media that link at increasing speeds. They showed a working demonstration of the technology at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference in April, but it's not at your local computer store yet. The final SerialATA specification isn't expected until next year, and products won't be available until 2002.
Participating companies include Dell Computer Corp., IBM Corp., Intel Corp., Maxtor, Quantum Corp., and Seagate.
Besides hard drives, SerialATA connects peripherals such as CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, and tape drives, as well as removable media drives such as the Zip and Jaz. However, SerialATA, like the current EIDE interface, will only work with internal devices. Firewire (IEEE-1394) and the upcoming Universal Serial Bus 2.0 are expected to become the standard for external devices.
Watch for Interim Technology
SerialATA will come in several stages. Its first release is expected to offer a 150 mbps transfer rate. Most PCs made in the past three years have a hard drive interface called UltraDMA/33 (33 means a maximum data rata of 33 mbps). PCs with the UltraDMA/66 interface are now out, and PCs with the UltraDMA/100 interface are expected to ship this fall, although no supporting drives have been announced yet. SerialATA is expected to eventually nearly double the speed of the UltraDMA/100 interface.
Besides transfer rates, SerialATA differs significantly from current EIDE connections. It's a serial interface instead of the common parallel data transfer. Instead of the 80-wire flat-ribbon cables now used, it offers a round cable about the size of your PC's mouse cable, with an 8-pin connector on each end instead of a 40-pin EIDE connector.
This eliminates the problem of running ribbon cables inside packed PC boxes.
What's more, the small cables let cooling air flow more freely, permitting smaller, more innovative case designs, vendors say. Also, it runs on 3.3 volts, which takes less power than the usual 5 volts.
SerialATA's biggest change is that you can have more than two hard drives on a cable, and you don't need to deal with jumpers on drives. The interface's star topology means a tiny cable will lead directly from the interface to each drive. Theoretically, you could hook up dozens of drives.
Speedy Drive Times
The SerialATA interface is intended to support a new generation of high-speed hard drives. Drive makers are reluctant to predict how drives will perform by the time SerialATA debuts, but drives are packing more and more data onto hard disk platters.
Capacities of 30GB to 40GB are already common, and some of the first 15,000-rpm drives (available only with a SCSI interface) are expected to ship soon.
(Standard EIDE drives currently spin at either 5400 rpm or 7200 rpm, although 10,000 rpm drives are also available in SCSI.) Within a few years, drives with capacities of from 100MB to 200MB will become common, analysts say.
Of course, major interface changes also require a time of transition. Vendors will also address compatibility questions. For now, they plan to develop serial-to-parallel and parallel-to-serial adapters that will let older EIDE drives work on the SerialATA interface. Also, SerialATA drives will work in PCs with the older UltraDMA interfaces, although at drastically lower speeds than the interface can offer.

Last night, after hours of contentious testimony and city council debate, Mayor Adler threw in the towel with a minor concession from his colleagues and joined a unanimous council in voting to direct the City Manager to move $15 million from this year's proposed budget for the convention center over to fund $3.2 million for promotion of live music, $500,000 for locally-owned business promotion, and $11 million to create an Historic Preservation Fund. This fund would help protect historic places that we are losing as well as historic preservation activities, such as operation of the Austin History Center.
The funding is only for this year's budget. However, it sets the stage for future moves to shift even more funding away from the failing convention center and towards live music, arts, parks, preservation, and locally-owned business.
Mayor Adler and representatives of several groups who have signed on to his "downtown puzzle" plan vehemently opposed the measure throughout the evening. The mayor's downtown puzzle plan needs to keep around 85% or more of our hotel occupancy tax (HOT) tourism funds dedicated to fund a proposed $560 million convention center expansion. However, he has been working overtime to hide this fact by proposing $50 million to fund a grab-bag of projects, $30 million for homelessness through a deal with the downtown hotels, and $110 million in dedicated general funds for gold-plating the 34 acres of the downtown Waller Creek park.
In the end, the Mayor was forced to concede that the one-year $15 million funding to meet immediate, top Austin priorities would not block his $2 billion, 20 to 30 year downtown puzzle plan. Thus, the downtown puzzle plan battle will continue in the days, weeks and months ahead. The next major round is currently set for the council's Thursday, September 28 meeting. Please mark your calendar and plan to be there.
This is an incredibly important battle over how we spend $2 billion or more over the next 20 years or so. It will tell us what our elected officials actually value. These funds can help us save our most important natural, cultural and human treasures, or they can be wasted benefiting a few Broadcasdowntown hotels and a failing convention center industry.

AN ENTERPRISING student has filled up his piggy bank just months after launching a new business.
James Wright, a fourth-year business studies undergraduate at the University of Chichester, set himself up from scratch as a pig farmer while working towards his final exams.
With no former agricultural experience or family background, he combined his love of livestock with the business knowledge gained through his degree.
James said: "I've thought about being a farmer since I was about four and went to a farm.
"When it came to setting up Sussex Pigs, my degree gave me a good foundation in business, with lecturers encouraging me to question things and look behind what's going on.
"I've learnt a range of business and marketing tools as well as how to think analytically – this takes a lot of training and is a real skill that can't be learned off the internet."
Keen to get ahead in the jobs market, and with a desire to be his own boss, James researched food prices and the agricultural trade, before speaking with friends and family about what they looked for in their produce.
He followed this up with business analysis learnt from his degree and saw a market for good-quality meat, while further research revealed rare-breed pigs offered a good return on money. From this Sussex Pigs was born.
The business began trading in August and, thanks to James' ability to balance studying with running a labour-intensive company, it is proving a success.
He currently owns 30 pigs on his farm, but will finish next year with nearly 500 – worth an estimated turnover of £154,000. James currently sells direct via his website, but is in the process of setting up contracts with butchers and restaurants, and selling at farmer's markets – while studying for his exams.

Today I turned 50 years old. This day has deep significance to me as I reflect back on my life. I'm not one to want to celebrate my birthday or even tell people it's my birthday but today is different. Today I'm celebrating this day that God has given me because I used to live in fear that I would never see 50 years. It wasn't because I've suffered illness or disease, quite the opposite actually. God has blessed me with a healthy strong body all of my life. This day is special because I made it to a day of longevity that no one else in my immediate family has seen before me. My mother was the first, succumbing to breast cancer at the age of 39. My brother a few years later at the age of 13 in an accident. Then my father in an accident some 16 years later at the age of 49. I was 21 when my father was tragically killed and often haunted by nightmares of being from a cursed family destined to die before my time. Today is so different from the nightmares of my past. Today I have the knowledge of a Holy and Righteous God. I'm not cursed, on the contrary. I look back and see how God has used my life circumstances to draw me nearer to Him, His grace and His promise for me and my life. The same promise he offers to anyone who chooses to seek Him out. I love what Paul says in Romans.
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.
I rejoice in my sufferings because God has never disappointed me.
As I train for Ironman Arizona I know there will be more suffering followed by a sense of joy when I reflect back on the experience and how it's shaped my life.

Wow we have finally made it to the end of our journey. Helios has been such an amazing experience to develop thanks to the everyone's efforts and dedication to making an awesome game. It has been a rough couple of months but in the end we made it through. Thanks to everyone for supporting us through this project and please enjoy this video on the the development of Helios
Helios Post Mortem Video
Changing the UDK GameIcon
Changing the game icon in UDK is a surprisingly simple but cool thing you can do to give your game a little more personality.
First of all, you're going to need an image in either .png or .jpg format. Make it perfectly square, and make sure it'll look good at various sizes, as Windows will make it bigger and smaller depending on whether it's in your taskbar, start menu, or file hierarchy.
Next, take that image to ConvertIcon.com. Upload it and then export it as a .ico file.
Note: .ico files have pages which store various sizes of the install icon for various uses. Download your .ico from ConvertIcon in all of the sizes offered and you'll be sure that your game will stand out no matter where it's installed.
Now go into your UDK hierarchy. You're looking for:
In here you'll find a .ico file called GameIcon. Reserve it someplace else in case you want it back later, and replace it with the one you just made with ConvertIcon, making sure to rename it "GameIcon"
When you cook your game, the UDKInstall will still have the same icon it has always had, but when the game is installed on the hard drive, it will have whatever logo you dropped in there.
Download and install Helios to check out our cool custom icon!
