Printing Process:

Thermography - The process involves heat that joins ink and a resin-like powder together. The fusion of the materials results in the appearance of "raised" letters. This printing process is one of the most popular choice for invitations, because of its value and quality of appearance. This is the most affordable print process if you are looking for classic, elegant "raised" printing.

Digital - In digital printing, an image is sent directly to the printer using digital files such as PDFs and those from graphics software such as Illustrator and InDesign. Digital printing is most efficient and cost effective when running small quantities, and the result are beautiful, high quality prints.

Letterpress - Letterpress continues to be one of the hottest trends in stationery.  It's been around for hundreds and hundreds of years. Letterpress is an ancient printing technique that involves printing words or designs with ink while simultaneously debossing the image into thick, soft paper. The letterpress look is elegant, stylish, high-end and nothing short of stunning.

Engraving - The paper is placed on the press face down above the inked plate. It is then printed by pressure coming down on the back of the sheet while the front of the sheet meets with the plate. This "sandwich" effect creates the raised lettering and bruise on the back of the printed paper that are both classic features of engraver.

Foil Stamping -  Printing process that fuses foil to paper. A thin layer of foil is pressed between a piece of paper and a heated die. The image on the die cuts and heats the foil, binding it to the paper. You might be thinking of mylar ballons when you think of the word "foil".  But don't be fooled.  You can find many matte-ink colors such as white or cream, which produces a gorgeous invitation.

Quantities will vary according to each product, but in most cases quantities will refer to how many pieces are in 1 set or box.  So for example, when you see a quantity of "1 = $34.95", it means you will receive 1 box of cards for $34.95.

Mygatsby was one of the pioneers of the "stacked" enclosure cards!  We created these cards specifically so these accessory cards would complement your invitation stylishly yet with function.

Small Enclosure Card: 4.25"x4.50"

  • This card is typically used as a Reception Card, Ceremony Card, Gift Registry or At-Home Card, or for any "simple" information you might be trying to deliver to your guests.

RSVP card w/ envelope: 4.25"x5.50"

  • RSVP is derived from the French phrase, repondez s'il vous plait, meaning "respond if you please." It is a polite way of requesting a response to the invitation. It allows you to have an accurate guest count and can even help with allowing your guests to choose meal options, or any other information you will require in planning your reception.Mygatsby also nclude your name and return address printed on the envelope (or postcard  for our smaller invitations) to make it easier for invited guests to respond. Traditionally, the sender provides postage, to make it easier for your guests to respond.

Large Enclosure Card: 4.25"x6.50"

  • This card is typically used as a Directions Card, Accommodations Card, or any additional detailed information you might be trying to deliver to your guests.

Additional Matching Accessories

For flat printing, all ink color choices are included in the cost of your item.  There are no additional charges.

For thermgraphy and letterpress ink colors, the ink color you choose is included in the price of your order.  If you would like to choose a second color for an accessory item (such as wine ink for your card, and black ink for your envelopes), there is an additional charge (see additional charges below).

Pricing for each additional ink color is as follows:

  • 1st ink:  No charge.  Included in price.
  • 2nd ink:  $30.00 one time charge.  This same ink color may be used across all of your invitation ensemble pieces.

For an additional fee of $6 you can get your stationery gift wrapped. Your gift message is included on an attractive gift card.

Xperia Z1 to remain flagship into 2014, 'a lot to talk about' on smartwatches next year, 'OmniBalance' design still key

Sony Mobile has used its new year's message to hint at some of its product plans for the next twelve months. Reflecting on its 2013 lineup, the company says its trademark "OmniBalance" design language, which involves angular, symmetrical designs with flat front and back panels and a stylized outer trim, has been a differentiator this year and will remain "a key element of what makes our products special." That means the overall look and feel of Sony's phones and tablets probably won't be changing anytime soon.

The manufacturer also had a bit to say about its phone and smartwatch plans for the coming year.

Sony describes its current flagship smartphone, the Xperia Z1, as its "strongest selling smartphone to date," and says the device will remain its flagship handset into 2014. That's not too surprising considering we're still waiting on a U.S. carrier launch for the device, though it does dismiss rumors that Sony might reveal a successor to the Z1 at next week's CES in Las Vegas. (For what it's worth, the smart money seems to be on a miniature version of the Z1 being the star of that show for Sony.)

And finally, we're all expecting 2014 to be a big year for wearable devices, particularly smartwatches. And Sony, which released its Smartwatch 2 device this year, says it'll have "a lot to talk about" in the wearables space in 2014. The post wraps up by saying the manufacturer has "some truly exciting products coming up, new form factors to explore and more from our wearables team."

We'll continue to cover everything Android-based coming out of Sony in 2014, and with two big trade shows coming up in the first two months it looks like there'll be plenty to write about.

Windows 7 Port For The ASUS ZenFone 2 Available

July 9, 2015 - Written By Markus Kohli

Tired of looking at the same old Android UI on your fancy Asus ZenFone 2 every day? Then rejoice, as XDA user ycavan has found and documented a way to bring some diversion to all the bored users out there. By running a modified kernel he managed to get the open source virtualization software QEMU/KVM running in a Linux environment on his Android-based device, allowing for virtualized systems to boot within. To prove it, he chose none other than the widespread Windows 7, the full fletched desktop operating system (OS). Of course, with ever more powerful (Intel based) CPUs and gratuitous amounts of RAM in our pockets, it was only a matter of time until the first real “Pocket PCs” showed up, but seeing it is relatively easy to achieve is still fascinating. The fact that the OS not only boots, but also runs with almost no bugs and at a considerable speed is even more amazing and shows once more that users are carrying some serious computing power around every day.

Of course, the entire process is not for the faint of heart, as it involves rooting, flashing a specific kernel and hacking in commands through a terminal, so it remains an adventure not to be taken lightly and only with some knowledge of what you’re doing. Additionally you will need a microSD card big enough to fit a Linux distribution and the Windows ISO on it. Once everything is prepared according to ycavan’s instructions, you basically start a remote desktop client (vnc) to access the virtualized OS within the Linux environment on the phone, and you get the full desktop on your display. If you made it this far, there is no immediate risk to the phone itself anymore, as everything happens within the Linux environment and without any direct access to the phone’s software or hardware. Since this hack enables running not only Windows (ycavan mentions also Windows 8 and 10) but QEMU on the Asus ZenFone 2, it should also allow various other operating systems to be run, as long as they’re Intel-based and support the virtualized hardware, opening up whole new worlds.

Anyway, when I read this morning that RIM's new CEO Thorsten Heins, speaking to CrackBerry, said Android devices are "all the same," I couldn't help but go slack-jawed in a combination of muted laughter and near disbelief at the irony. I'm pretty sure RIM is the epitome of hardware and software sameness in the smartphone market. If it didn't have a tiny screen with a keyboard directly below it and it was a RIM product, it probably didn't sell very well.

So, in an attempt to educate Mr. Heins, who we assume also believes all butterflies, birds, and bats are "the same," we've created a little collage of the variation found in the Android ecosystem. To make it fair, in this first picture we've only included software keyboard smartphones running Android 2.3, to paint a more static picture of the Android OS. This first picture is really just about software (not to scale):

Manufacturers obviously have very little say in how the software on their Android device looks... if you live in Bizzaro World. But what about hardware? Clearly, the picture above shows us that Android is just a bunch of touchscreen candybars of varying size, right? Oh, wait (first two rows to scale):

Yeah, I think they all pretty much look alike. Superficial differences. Perhaps Mr. Heins' PR team should work on "clarifying" his comments, lest RIM seem even more out of touch with reality.

Strawberry Preserve for the Daring Cooks September 2010

Ah! Food Preservation, what a perfect theme for late summer! Living in the northern hemisphere, there is the urge to squirrel away the bright flavours of summer for the icy cold winter, when sun-ripened vegetables and fruit rarely grace our tables.
As an annual ritual, I make my batch of jams, preserves, chutneys, and pickles and stash them away in the pantry. The pleasure we get from each of these over the dark winter months keeps the summer fresh in our memory.

This year, apart from freezing raspberries and strawberries, I made my Summer Raspberry Jam, Peach Chutney, and a Whole Strawberry Preserve. The Whole Strawberry is my contribution to this month's Daring Cook's Challenge!

Postscript: The September 2010 Daring Cooks’ challenge was hosted by John of Eat4Fun. John chose to challenge The Daring Cooks to learn about food preservation, mainly in the form of canning and freezing. He challenged everyone to make a recipe and preserve it. John’s source for food preservation information was from The National Center for Home Food Preservation.

Why Be Good?

TEXT:  Job 1:6-21

Life has been better.  These last few months have reminded me of my first time swimming in the surf off the Atlantic coast of Florida as a college student.  I waded out into the water and a huge wave crashed and drove me down into the sand.  I tried to scramble to my feet, but I wasn't even halfway up when the next one hit me hard and I went down again.  And so it continued, slam after slam until I really thought I would drown.  I did manage to make my way, coughing and sputtering, back to shore, but it was an experience I didn't care to repeat.

If you live long enough, you have times when life gangs up on you like that.  For some reason bad times come in bunches rather than in solitary events and like the Florida waves, we get slammed to the ground again and again.  Where do we look in the Bible when that happens?  Well, I look to the ultimate rotten-life story, the story of Job.

The book of Job begins with God bragging on how good this man Job is.  Satan then challenges Job’s goodness and as a result, God puts Job to the test.

First he loses all of his material possessions and all of his family, except his wife.  Job passes that test.  Then Satan ups the ante and wants to make it harder, so God allows Satan to make Job physically ill...covered in boils from head to toe.  Job is downright miserable, and he moans and groans for a fair number of chapters.  He has friends who show up and tell him that he must have sinned for God to do such things to him.  They tell him to repent and Job begins to wish that maybe God would have taken his friends as well as his family.

Job demands that God show up and explain all this, and God does appear.  The trouble is, God doesn’t really explain Job’s question.  Job wants to know...as we often do...”Why me?”  God’s answer is basically that we are not capable of understanding.  It is the divine version of that parental response that so annoys children...”Because I said so.”  Job then repents of asking the question and God restores his health and gives him twice as much as he had before.  God says Job is still blameless at the end of the test.

Because Job asks God why this has happened to him, lots of people assume that's the question that the Book of Job is trying to answer.  Why do bad things happen to good people? (as Rabbi Kushner's title reads).  But the more I think about the Book of Job, the more I come to believe that "Why do bad things happen to good people?" is the wrong question.  The real question behind Job, I think, is "Why be good in the first place?"

When God points out how very good Job is, Satan’s response is to question his motive.  “Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan asks in verse 9.  I think this is the question of the book.  “Have you not put a fence around him and his house and all that he has, on every side?  You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.  But stretch out your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face.”

Satan, which means “the Accuser”, has just asked the question still asked by those who seek to accuse the church today.  “See Sally Churchgoer,” says God.  “She lives right, just like a Christian ought to.  And you’ll find her in church every Sunday with a tithe in her offering envelope.”

“Well of course she does,” says the challenger.  “She’s had it easy all her life.  She’s never known poverty or illness or tragedy...not really.  She’s just a good Christian because she thinks nothing really bad can happen to her that way.  She is into this faith thing for herself, not for you, God.  She doesn’t love you for who you are, she loves you only because you give her what she wants.   Take away those comforts and you’ll see what her faith is really made of.  You might be God, but if she doesn’t get what she wants from you, she’ll never darken that church door again.  Just you try it!”

The question of Job, it seems to me, is raising the issue of whether we are able to pick up a cross and follow Jesus or whether we are only in the crowd because we have eaten our fill of loaves and fishes.  Do we worship God as a way of paying for blessings we expect to receive or do we worship God simply because God is worthy of worship?  It is a timeless question and a crucial question.

As Job’s suffering begins and the book progresses, we see the heart of a blameless man.  The first thing we notice is that Job never saw anything that God had given to him as anything other than something he held in trust.  None of it was truly “his”...not his wealth, not his house, not his family.  When it is all taken from him in a single day, Job responds in verse 1:21, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there; the Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”

Most of us lose the battle right here, because most of us think we are owners rather than stewards of God’s gifts.  We think that the things God has placed under our control are rewards for ourselves rather than resources for the world and we find ourselves angry if God should require their return or disbursement.

Now, please notice that Job is not jumping in the streets for joy.  These losses are real blows.  They really hurt, and Job shows all the signs of mourning.  He shaves his head and tears his robe in grief.  I’m not suggesting that the faithful response to loss is a mere shrug of the shoulders.  Job felt the losses and grieved deeply.  But then he fell on the ground and worshiped.  Until we have abandoned our notions of entitlement, this part of his response makes no sense, and we turn away from Job sad, like the rich young ruler in Luke 18 who just couldn’t let go of absolutely everything.  When the Accuser points at us and says, “This one is only good because she’s never really had to put her money where her mouth is,” many of us have lost the challenge.  And that is only chapter one.

It seems like Job surely has passed the test, proving that there is such a thing as a human being who worships God simply because God is God.  But the Accuser sees deeply into the human psyche and probes still further in chapter 2.  “Yes,” Satan says in essence, “He has been able to keep his priorities straight regarding those things outside of himself.  But a man’s body is his ultimate possession.  Mess with that and you’ll see that every person has a buyout price.”

It is this next section, when Job's suffering grows past anything a person should have to endure, that I find the most comfort.  This is the place where I see that even God's most faithful are overwhelmed at times and that crying out in pain and frustration to God is not sin or offense, but just honesty in prayer.

Job does not hide his anger and bitterness from God.  He says God has denied him justice (27:2).  He claims God has left him (29:1-6).  Listen to his prayer in 30:20-23: “I cry out to you, O God, but you do not answer; I stand up, but you merely look at me.  You turn on me ruthlessly; with the might of your hand you attack me.  You snatch me up and drive me before the wind; you toss me about in the storm.  I know you will bring me down to death, to the place appointed for all the living.”

 How do the righteous pray when they suffer?  Well, here in Job is one example...an example that God countered but did not condemn.  It feels like pure freedom and grace to me to be allowed honest prayer and to have Scripture acknowledge that even the blameless feel at times like God has gone on vacation without them.

In the book of Job we see a blameless man who hangs onto his faith in God through horrible circumstances.  Job proves that he is not placing his trust in God just for what he can get out of it.  This is love of God for God’s sake alone.  But although the challenge is finished for Job, there is the sense that it will surface again.  The Accuser goes back to his corner, but there is one more level he has not tried.  Job’s health has suffered, but God refused to let Job die.  Everything else was taken, but not his life.  Satan can’t do any more with Job, but he is willing to wait for another blameless man to come along.

At a more opportune time, the challenge surfaces again when Satan confronts Jesus.  The challenges of Job are presented first in the wilderness temptations.  Want wealth and authority, Jesus?  Give up on God and worship me.  Want fame and friends?  Be spectacular and throw yourself off of the Temple and let the angels catch you.  Suffering in your body?  Hungry?  Make these stones into bread.  Jesus defeats Job’s temptations handily.  But how about death?  That is Satan’s trump card.  We can almost hear the “skin for skin” discussion of Job escalating with Jesus.

And as it is tried, we see the same darkness of suffering descend.  Even the sky turns black as Jesus feels and expresses the absence of God.  “My God, my God why have you forsaken me?” But in the end, with his dying breath, Jesus says, “Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit.”  The Accuser is defeated once and for all.

Why do the righteous suffer?  Any answer to that is beyond my human understanding, and I find that I question God about it on a fairly regular basis, just as Job did.  God’s answer to Job seems to be bent on making him realize that the urgent question is whether our lives are centered on ourselves or on God.  Just how far are you willing to go with God?  Past your understanding?  Past your comfort?  To the Cross?  All your heart?  All your soul?  All your mind?  It’s worth asking of ourselves, and I promise you that it is being asked by those who turn a critical and accusing eye toward the church.  Why be good?  Is it really God that is important to us, or is it the benefits package?  Amen.

I know this isnt in the right forum, but this is somewhat of an emergency. Neg away if you must. Its networking and it can be construed to deal with security

OS - Slackware9

Regular compatible ethernet card.

With a regular ethernet card, that is compatible with linux.. should i have any trouble clearing my netconfig and connecting to a t1 network at a college? I have been behind a NAT router with an assigned static internal address. I was also wondering if the before mentioned would cause problems if i dont setup dhcp to allow me to get a new ip from the T1 network, or if that even mattered. I have no clue how t1 networks work, as i have never read much about them or know much about their topology. I mean, i realise how easy it is in windows, but i was wondering if:

[a] there was anything special i need to do

[b] if Slack9 even works with t1?

[c] Anything else you need to tell me before i leave?

I will be gone to a university for 18 days, and i don't have a spare windowscd... So im stuck with linux if i want an OS, (which i would rather be stuck with linux anyday, as long as i have net access)

I need an answer before around 30 minutes from now. If you dont reply before then, dont worry about it. it is now 1:21 AM
I am in GMT -6

Ill give until 2 am, but i have to pack up this computer quickly, for i am leaving early on in the morning and this needs to go first.

(You can see that im kinda panicky but i forgot to think about it, im sure its compatible. But i couldnt go 18 days without net access to save my life.)

Thanks in advance for prompt replies. i will be bumping this for 30 minutes.

Courts May Get More Latitude on 'State Secrets'

by William Fisher

The US Congress moved a step closer Thursday to reining in the legal practice that the government has used to block lawsuits by whistleblowers and victims of "extraordinary rendition," as well as actions that would embarrass the George W. Bush administration.

By an 11-8 vote, the Senate Judiciary Committee passed the State Secrets Protection Act, a measure introduced by Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, and Arlen Specter, a Republican from Pennsylvania. Specter, the committee's most senior minority member, was alone among the panel's nine Republicans to vote in favor of approving the bill.

The measure would establish new rules that would allow judges to review government evidence supporting its claims that bringing a case to civil trial would involve disclosure of classified state secrets and thus compromise national security.

Steven Aftergood, head of the Government Secrecy Program at the Federation of American Scientists, told IPS, "The state secrets privilege has been used to derail legal challenges to government policies on detention, rendition, and interrogation, among other outstanding issues. There has to be a better way. There is no incentive for the executive to regulate itself or to curtail its use of the privilege."

The bill now goes to the full Senate for a vote, though its timing and outcome remain unclear. A similar bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives by Congressmen Jerrold Nadler, Democrat from New York, and Tom Petri, a Wisconsin Republican.

The White House has signaled that President Bush will veto the legislation if it passes both houses of Congress.

The new bill would provide a mechanism for protecting legitimate secrets while also permitting civil litigation to proceed.

Under the proposed measure, when the government claims the state secrets privilege, it will be required to submit an affidavit explaining why the information sought should remain secret. If the court agrees that certain evidence is privileged, it must order the government to produce unclassified or blacked-out versions of the sensitive information if doing so would not harm national security.

Judges would be authorized to rule against the government if it refuses to produce this documentation.

The attorney general would be required to report to the House and Senate Intelligence and Judiciary committees every time the government claimed the state secrets privilege.

The state secrets privilege is a common law right that lets the government protect sensitive national security information from being disclosed as evidence in litigation. The courts have generally accepted such government assertions.

However, Gabor Rona, international legal director of the advocacy group Human Rights First, told IPS, "When courts dismiss cases alleging human rights violations on state secrets grounds, and leave no alternative for redress, the US is in violation of its obligation under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights to provide a remedy."

The privilege was first recognized by the US Supreme Court in 1953, in a case later shown to have been bogus. It has been asserted since then by every US administration, Republican and Democratic. But the Bush administration has increased its use dramatically. It has raised the privilege in over 25 percent more cases each year than previous administrations, and has sought dismissal in more than 90 percent of cases.

The privilege has been invoked to dismiss claims of unlawful domestic surveillance, detention, torture, and misconduct by government employees, on grounds that adjudicating them would cause unacceptable damage to national security.

Legal scholars have long recognized the need for congressional guidance on this issue. A recent report by the American Bar Association urged Congress to "enact legislation governing federal civil cases implicating the state secrets privilege."

The bipartisan Constitution Project found that "legislative action is essential to restore and strengthen the basic rights and liberties provided by our constitutional system of government."

And a group of leading constitutional scholars wrote to Congress emphasizing that there "is a need for new rules designed to protect the system of checks and balances, individual rights, national security, fairness in the courtroom, and the adversary process."

The absence of such rules has resulted in the dismissal of a number of high-profile lawsuits against the government. For example:

A German citizen, Khaled el-Masri, complained to the court that he was kidnapped, illegally detained and abused by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in a case of "extraordinary rendition." His suit was dismissed because he would not be able to make his case except by using "privileged evidence" that exposed CIA practices – and the CIA could not defend itself against the allegations "without using privileged evidence."

In another widely publicized case, the Justice Department asserted the state-secrets privilege in successfully seeking to dismiss a lawsuit by Maher Arar, a Syrian-born Canadian citizen who was detained in the US in 2002 and sent against his will to Syria, where he says he was tortured until his release a year later. A Canadian government commission found after a two-year investigation that Arar had no connection with terrorists and awarded him compensation of 10 million dollars and an apology.

Another case involved Sibel Edmonds, a former translator at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), who was fired for reporting security breaches and possible espionage within the Bureau. Edmonds unsuccessfully appealed her case to the US Supreme Court. At the time, the Inspector General of the Department of Justice found that Edmonds' firing was an act of retaliation.

Legal scholars and civil rights advocates have been outspoken against the Bush administration's use of the state secrets privilege as a shield behind which it can conceal virtually any activity.

Prof. David Cole of the Georgetown University Law Center, one of the nation's preeminent constitutional lawyers, told IPS, "The administration has argued on the merits that the president has unilateral executive power in the 'war on terror' to violate even criminal laws, and when it has been challenged on that assertion, it has argued that the courts can't even rule on that assertion of power because the alleged criminal violation is a 'state secret'."

Cole's view is echoed by Prof. Peter Shane of the Ohio University law school. He told IPS that the Bush administration "has been conspicuous in its defense of the executive's secret-keeping authorities, even where disclosure of the information sought would not seem to undermine any public interest."

He added, "The current Supreme Court is so solicitous of presidential power that there is absolutely no prospect of real reform initiated by the current judiciary. If there is to be change, it will have to be at the initiative of Congress."

But Attorney General Michael Mukasey said he believes Congress probably lacks the authority to alter the state secrets privilege because it is rooted in the Constitution "and is not merely a common law privilege."

He said the bill would transfer responsibility for making national security judgments from the executive branch to the courts. He contends that federal judges do not have "the constitutional authority nor the institutional expertise to assume such functions."

Rugby was developed by accident when a man named William Webb Ellis, who was attending Rugby School in England, while playing soccer, picked up the ball and ran towards the opponents' goal.  This new innovation attracted interest at other schools, such as Cambridge University.  Rugby was popularized at Cambridge in 1823 where local rules were made.  Rugby School didn't officially offer rugby until 1841; and it wasn't until 1871 that consistent rules were formulated.

The lack of specificity in the rules of the game, and interpretation of matters that the English took for granted, were intolerable to many players in the United States.  This led to modifications in the rules such as a line of scrimmage and frequent opportunities for possession.  These changes altered the free-running, kicking game to a game with emphasis on ball control.

Rugby did continue to be played in the U.S. though, until 1905.  President Theodore Roosevelt viewed pictures from a game and was shocked by the "brutal" nature of the game and insisted on reforms in the rules.  In 1906, this led to the induction of the forward pass, rather than the rugby pass, which is never forward, and to the demise of the Rugby Code in the United States.

Rugby is, however, making a resurgence.  In the U.S., the USA Rugby Football Union recently formed by regional unions, will give national cohesion so the game may prosper.  The rules of the game will be international and can be obtained by writing:  USA Rugby, 27 E. State Street, Sherburne, NY 13460.

Rugby is usually played with two teams, each consisting of 15 players - eight forwards and seven backs.  The object of the game is to kick goals between the opponents' goal posts and to score "tries."

A "try" is scored when a player grounds the ball in the opposition's in-goal area.  This is the area behind the goal posts, which is similar to the end zone of a football field.  A try is worth four points and may be converted into a goal by a successful place kick.  The place kick may be made from any mark on the field, along a straight line backwards from where the ball was grounded.  A converted try is worth six points.  A goal may also be made through a penalty kick, which is worth three points.  The game is over after the elapsed time period.  This is usually two thirty-five minute halves (international matches are forty minutes in length).  There is a five minute changeover period at halftime, during which no player may leave the field.

A rugby match is started in much the same way as an American football game.  There is a coin toss at the beginning between the captains of the two teams.  The winner decides whether to receive the kick-off or which goal they will defend.  The kick-off is made from the halfway line of the field.  The second half is also started with a kick-off; this time the team that kicked to start the game will receive.  There is also a kick-off after each score.  The only variation in this rule is that if the score was an un-converted try, the kick-off must be a drop kick; otherwise it is a place kick.

The ball must be kicked at least ten yards unless it is touched by an opposing player.  If the kick is short, that is touching the ground in front of the ten yard line before touching an opposing player, the captain of the receiving team can demand a re-kick or a set scrum at the center of the field.  If the ball is kicked out-of-play (off the field) without being touched, the non-kicking team has three choices.  These are a scrum at the center of the field, a line-out where the ball went out-of-play, or a re-kick.

If any member of the kicking team precedes the ball prior to or at the moment it is kicked, there is a set scrum at center field with the receiving team putting the ball in play.

There are only a few circumstances that stop the game during play.  These are a score, the ball going into touch over the sideline, or a penalty.  The game is not stopped when an injury occurs.  The player is dealt with once the ball is out-of-play.

Each contest is officiated by a referee.  He is the only person on the field who is in charge of interpreting the rules, keeping score, or keeping the time for each match.  The flow and success of each game is largely dependent upon his knowledge and physical fitness, as he must keep up with the players as they move throughout the field.

Each team selects a touch judge to assist the referee in keeping track of the ball if it goes out of bounds or into touch.  In addition, the judges also align themselves to determine whether or not a kick has been successful.  However, regardless of ruling by either or both of the touch judges, the referee makes the final decision.

  1. Advantage:  The referee may allow play to continue after an infringement if the nonoffending team gains either technical or territorial advantage.
  2. Ball:  Oval in shape; of four panels, which need not be of leather.  Size and weight vary with age group of playing teams.
  3. Blind side:  Normally the side nearer the touch line, being the side of the field opposite to which the fly-half (stand-off half) has taken his position at line-out, scrummage, ruck or maul.
  4. Cross-kick:  An attacking kick across the field, usually made by a wing three-quarter, forward of the play.
  5. Dead-ball:  The ball is considered dead when the referee blows his whistle.
  6. Defending team:  The team in whose half of the field the stoppage of play occurs.
  7. Drawing your man:  To make an opponent commit himself to tackle the ball carrier, rather than the player to whom the ball is about to be passed.
  8. Dribbling:  A player controls the forward movement of the ball with his feet, never kicking it far; the shins are used extensively and often the feet are turned out to control the awkward bouncing ball.  This tactic is sometimes used by a pack of forwards on the advance.
  9. Drop kick:  The ball is allowed to fall from the hand(s) to the ground and, as the ball rises, it is kicked at the rebound.
  10. Drop-out:  The method, by drop kick, of starting play from behind or at the 25-yard (22-meter) line after an attacking player kicks, carries, passes, or knocks the ball into the opponents' in-goal area, but does not score.  A drop kick is also used to restart the game from the center of the field after an unsuccessful conversion attempt.
  11. Dummy:  To pretend to pass the ball.
  12. Falling on the ball:  The player dropping on the ball attempts to do so by turning his back to the opposition.  It is good play as it stops the opponents' foot rush; however, a player falling on the ball must not handle the ball subsequent to his falling upon it and must not intentionally hinder play.
  13. Five-yard scrum:  If a defending player knocks the ball, carries, passes, heels, or kicks it over his own goal line and there it becomes dead, having been touched down or has gone out of the field of play, the referee calls for a scrum to be made five yards from the goal line opposite to the place where the ball went into the in-goal area.  The ball is given to the attacking team.
  14. Fly-kick:  A wild, unpremeditated kick.
  15. Foot-up:  Any member of the front row of either team in a scrum who, before the ball has touched the ground, advances either foot incurs a penalty.
  16. Foul-play:  It is illegal for a player to:
    1. strike an opponent
    2. tackle early or late
    3. willfully kick, hack, or trip with the foot
    4. cause a ruck or a scrummage to collapse
    5. obstruct, hold, charge, or push an opponent not holding the ball
  17. Free kick:  One from which a score may be made; allowed after a fair catch (mark) and may be taken as a place kick, drop kick, or, if no score is being attempted, by a punt.
  18. Grounding the ball:  A player grounds the ball by placing his hand(s), arm(s), or upper body on the ball with downward pressure to score a try.
  19. Hacking:  To fly-kick the ball.
  20. Kick:  A kick is made by propelling the ball with any part of the leg or foot (except the heel), knee to toe inclusive.
  21. Knock-on:  This occurs when a player propels the ball, with either hand or arm, in the direction of his opponents' dead-ball line.
  22. Line-out:  The line-out is formed by at least two players from each team in single lines parallel to the touch line waiting for the ball to be thrown in between them.  The line-out may stretch from five yards (five meters) from the touch line to 15 yards (15 meters) from that touch line.
  23. Locks:  Back-row forwards in a set-scrum, number 8.
  24. Loose-head:  This is determined by the position of the head of the left prop-forward.  His head is always to the outside of a set-scrum.
  25. Lying deep:  In attack, the backs (halves and three-quarters) adopt a more shallow formation closer to their opponents.
  26. Lying on the ball:  Will incur a penalty as it arrests play.
  27. Lying shallow:  In defense, the backs (halves and three-quarters) adopt a more shallow formation closer to their opponents.
  28. Mark:  A fair catch made from a kick, a knock-on, or an intentional throw forward, by a player having both feet on the ground who cries out "Mark."
  29. Maul:  Created by players of each side around a player in possession of the ball.
  30. No-side:  This is the end of the game.
  31. Number of players:  There are 15 or fewer members on each side.
  32. Off-side:  Generally a player is in an off-side position because he is in front of the ball when it was last played by another member of his team.  There is no penalty for being off-side except when the off-side player obstructs an opponent, plays the ball, or remains within ten yards (ten meters) of an opponent waiting to play the ball.  It is the duty of every off-side player to attempt to make himself on-side and in so doing, not interfere with the play.
  33. Penalty kick:  This kick is awarded to the nonoffending team after an infringement of the laws.
  34. Penalty try:  If, in the opinion of the referee, a try would have been scored had it not been for the defending team's foul play, obstruction, or misconduct, he grants a penalty try between the posts. Thereafter, a conversion may be attempted.
  35. Place kick:  This is made by kicking the ball after it has been placed on the ground for that purpose.
  36. Player ordered off:  A player who has been ordered off the field of play may take no further part in that game.
  37. Punt:  The ball is allowed to fall from the hand(s) and is kicked before it touches the ground.  A punt is a tactical but not a scoring kick.
  38. Push over try:  When the ball is in a scrum and the defending team is pushed over its goal line into its in-goal area by the attacking pack, which, having possession of the ball, allows some member to fall upon it and ground it, thus scoring a try.
  39. Referee:  He who controls the game and is sole judge of fact during the process of the game.
  40. Ruck:  A loose scrum, the ball being on the ground.
  41. Scrummage:  A scrum is formed by players from each team in readiness to allow the ball to be put into the tunnel between the front rows.  The front row of each side is a scrummage and must be comprised of three players.
  42. Substitutions:  Replacement of players is not allowed, except in special selection matches or international games, where no more than two players from each team may be replaced, and then only when a player is so badly injured (and medically assessed to be so) that he is unable to continue to participate.  A player so substituted may not return to that game.
  43. Tackle:  This is made upon the player holding the ball by one or more opponents so that while he is so held:
  44. the ball touches the ground, or
  45. if he is on his feet he cannot free himself to play the ball.
  46. The handling game:  The ball is in touch having been carried onto or over the touch line or when the ball bounces on, or passes over, the touch line, usually from a kick.  If a ball is in the air, has passed over the touch line, and the wind blows it into play again, the ball is considered to be in-touch where it passed over the line.
  47. Touch-down:  This is not a score.  A touch-down occurs when a player first grounds the ball in his own in-goal area.
  48. Try:  A try, worth four points, is scored by a member of the attacking team grounding the ball in the opponents' in-goal area.
  49. Up and under:  A high kick within the field of play timed so that the kicker's own players are under the ball as it comes down.
  50. Wheel:  In a set-scrum, when the ball is at the feet of the number 8, the scrum is rotated, often placing the opposing side under pressure.

The following visual skills can be enhanced through correction or training and can improve a player's performance.

  1. Visual Acuity:  Rugby players need both static and dynamic acuity.  Dynamic acuity is used to follow other players and track the ball, particularly in following the ball into the player's hands when passed sideways by a teammate, or in discriminating the ball against the sky or surrounds in attempting to catch a ball kicked into the air or along the ground.
  2. Peripheral Vision:  This is important to players because they need to be aware of fellow players to whom to pass, while attending to opponents moving in to tackle.  The player must be continually aware of position on the field in relation to the goalposts, sidelines and 25 yard lines.
  3. Depth Perception:  This skill allows players to judge how far to pass the ball, accurately judge kicks, and judge relative positions of opponents when running at them.
  4. Eye Motility:  A rugby player must be able to constantly follow his teammates, opponents and the ball at all times.  At the same time, saccadic skills should be automatic, accurate and well-sustained to facilitate transfer of fixation from player to player or ball.
  5. Eye-Hand/Body/Foot Coordination:  A rugby player should be able to accurately and flexibly coordinate eye-hand skills in catching or passing the ball, and eye-foot skills in kicking the ball, usually while in motion or off-balance.
  6. Visualization:  Necessary in judging the options for kicking and chasing the ball, kicking into open spaces between players, sensing a potential defensive gap through which to run with the ball, and in mentally rehearsing a kick at goal.
  7. Speed of Recognition Time:  This is important to all players on the field as the ball is moving at all times, either by being passed, or kicked, or by the players running with it.  At the same time, players must quickly and accurately process visual information about opposing players and the relative position of the ball.
  8. Speed of Focusing:  Players must be able to quickly and accurately adjust focus from far to near, or near to far, in both smooth change as well as rapid adjustment.
  9. Ability to withstand eye fatigue without decreased performance:  Visual performance should be automatic and able to be maintained at high levels for a period, despite significant physical fatigue.
  10. Color Perception:  This would mostly be used to identify your teammates and opponents.
  11. Fixation Ability:  This is important for players who are receiving a pass, as well as for defensive players trying to intercept the ball.
  12. Central/Peripheral Awareness:  A player attempting to pass needs to attend to the potential receivers while he is aware of approaching defensive players.  Similarly, the defending player should be able to attend to his opponent and be aware if his teammates are in position to cover other opponents.

    3. Have someone hold a straw at arms length from you.  Hold a toothpick out in space, somewhere to the right of the straw.  Then concentrate on the straw with both of your eyes, paying only slight attention to the toothpick, and slide the toothpick into the straw.

The most common ocular injuries suffered in rugby include blunt trauma to the eye from the fist, elbow or ball, possibly resulting in corneal injuries, hyphema, iris damage, vitreous hemorrhage, retinal edema and retinal detachment.  It is not uncommon to encounter corneal abrasions, contusions or lacerations due to fingers or fists, and soft tissue trauma may be encountered due to illegal gouging.  Blowout fracture to the inferior or nasal wall of the orbit is possible, and any diplopia, restriction of gaze, or enophthalmos should be considered suspicious of fracture.  Protective eyewear is almost unheard of in rugby.

Since head protection is only permitted to be worn in rugby with medical permission, special attention should be paid to the visual manifestations of head trauma, especially post-concussion syndrome.

There are several first aid procedures that trainers and coaches (even players) should be prepared for.  Any blunt trauma requires immediate attention.  This should include an ice pack applied to the injured area as soon as possible and a trip to the optometrist's or ophthalmologist's office.  A laceration to the orbital rim should be closed with a butterfly bandage and evaluated for stitches.  In addition, the trainer or coach should be able to lavage the eye if a foreign body is present and insert and remove contact lenses.

As in any sport, for the rugby player to perform at his highest skill level, he must have a good visual system.  This does not only include the trainable visual skills mentioned earlier, but also keeping the system free of injury. Rugby is a tough sport, and while not all injuries can be avoided, a great many ocular problems can be minimized with appropriate and immediate treatment.

The new BBC Three comedy shorts you don't want to miss

BBC Three seems a lot funnier now that it's online.

That might be because it's drawn attention to the lack of good comedy on terrestrial TV, it might be because the move to online has allowed BBC Three to focus its attentions more than before, or it might be because BBC Three has been taking some of the internet's funniest characters and bringing them to a new audience.

The latest round of the channel's comedy shorts feature West Midland's comedian Guzzy Bear, known for his YouTube presence and hilarious Jurassic World saga last year, and Mandem on the Wall, also known for YouTube sketches and founding the Wall of Comedy. Here's why they're worth 15 minutes of your time.

1. Man Like Mobeen

Guzzy in Man Like Mobeen

What's it about?

Taking modern stereotypes of the Asian community and satirising them to within an inch of their life, Man Like Mobeen follows a former road man trying to change his ways and follow the Deen.

Creator Ghulam Khan speaks directly to the viewer, opening with some politically charged statements in his familiar Brummy twang before we witness a day of his life. A day that doesn't end well.

Mobeen's former squad won't let him escape his past life so easily, and serious scenes common in communities around the country involving firearms, kidnappings and the like are given a touch of humour.

Why should you watch it?

It's often said that TV fails to offer an authentic image of under-represented communities in the UK, because a lot of the time those communities aren't the ones creating the characters. That's not the case with Man Like Mobeen.

The caricatures Khan creates will be familiar to a lot of people, while others are so left field we can't imagine anyone having a similar direct experience.

And despite this episode running just 11 minutes, Khan still managed to create it with a very good soundtrack.

2. JPD

JPD awkward moment helpline sketch

What's it about?

The Mandem on the Wall guys bless us with a series of sketches and parodies, starting with a hilarious vision of Britain's first black swimming relay team that definitely didn't end how we thought it would, and finishing with an incredible parody of Westlife's Flying Without Wings.

JPD is filled with original sketches that will remind you of moments in your own life, albeit some you'd hope to forget.

Why should you watch it?

The comedy here feels like the type that's been missing for a while, and a natural successor to Little Miss Jocelyn and The Lenny Henry Show.

Black comedy doesn't dominate television like it once did. British greats like Desmond's came before Trouble, the defunct channel that offered content nobody has come close to since.

YouTube has changed things slightly, and Mandem on the Wall are a part of that, but the quality of the sketches Jovielle, Percelle and Dee are able to put out is a benefit of collaborating with the BBC.

3. A Brief History Of Tim

Tim in A Brief History of Tim

What's it about?

Tim, a 26-year-old American living with cerebral palsy played by Tim Renkow, is a bit of a dick. He plays cruel pranks on people, is a bit homophobic, and has no qualms about lying about his mother's death. This episode features Tim royally messing up a job interview, not that he cares, and making able-bodied people feel uncomfortable.

Why should you watch it?

Disabled people, like many other minorities, often suffer from a lack of visibility. A Brief History Of Tim shows a lot of the struggles people with cerebral palsy might go through each day, and this episode seems to particularly highlight a feeling of "what's the point?".

But more than that it does it in a way that shows disabled people are, guess what, just normal people. They can have personality flaws and ugly tendencies like everybody else, or they can be the opposite, like everybody else. It feels like A Brief History of Tim could reduce some of the stigma around how disabled people are perceived - and what better way to do it than with comedy?

Limbo, Fail, and Pumped, all part of this BBC Three series, are also well worth a watch.

Is it easy to drive in Belarus?

Tuesday, 12 February 2013 14:08
driving laws in belarus

Coming to Belarus there’s no need to refuse from traveling by private vehicle. Car hire is a rather new but quickly developing service there; also it’s possible to hire a driver. But if you want to travel by your own car, there’s some information every foreign driver in Belarus has to know.

International driving license and original documents confirming the ownership of the vehicle give you a right to drive to Belarus. At the border crossing be ready to give information about the car into a customs declaration and to buy a vehicle insurance certificate. Also the international motor insurance certificate (Green card) is acceptable in Belarus.

International driving permit is valid for three months; if you’re going to stay longer in this country you must obtain the local driver license. To apply for this it’s necessary to attend a three-month course in a driving school and pass a test, which includes a computer-based test on Belarusian driving rules and a driving test.

Belarusian main traffic laws:

  1. 18 is the minimum driving age;
  2. There’re police checkpoints on roads throughout the country and when a police officer orders you to stop you must obey and show the documents;
  3. Speed limit in cities - 60 km/h, outside cities - 90 km/h, on highways 110 km/h.
  4. The alcohol limit is 0.3 ppm;
  5. It is a must to give way pedestrians;
  6. It's forbidden to use hand-held cell phone while driving;
  7. It’s necessary for a driver and passengers to use seat belts;
  8. It’s necessary to have the first-aid kit, extinguisher and warning triangle in a car.
  9. Most of the road signs are written in Russian or Belarusian;

Violation of traffic rules leads to a warning or a fine, it may vary from 100,000 BYR to 4,500,000 BYR ($12-$500), and the sum depends on the kind of the violation. We must say that the road police in Belarus would not practice blackmail unless you break some rules.

Keep in mind that Belarus is a safe country. Usually it’s not a problem to leave your car in the yard instead or on the street of the guarded parking in Minsk.

Dwell Gift: Andra Has a Great Offer

Dwell Gift: Andra Has a Great Offer

Maxwell Ryan
Nov 14, 2005

We just got this email and couldn't wait to get it out there. Andra of Hip Housewares has a great idea. She would like to offer a free Dwell magazine subscription to some deserving eco-minded shelter junkie who doesn't already have this magazine. She also wants to invite others to do the same thing. Thanks, Andra!

Hi - I just received my winter renewal for "Dwell" magazine, which I love. The renewal offers the chance to send a friend a free subscription for only $5 over the regular subscription price. If someone who wouldn't normally treat themselves (a student, new parent, struggling designer) would like a free subscription, I am happy to spring the extra 5 bucks to keep the good modern/sustainable design vibes flowing.

Also, perhaps other Dwell subscribers might want to treat a stranger to a free year? I think it is a nice way to keep us feeling like a community.

Gomoku is an abstract strategy board game. Also called Gobang or Five in a Row, it is traditionally played with Go pieces (black and white stones) on a go board (19x19 intersections) however, because once placed, pieces are not moved or removed from the board, gomoku may also be played as a paper and pencil game. This game is known in several countries under different names.
Black plays first, and players alternate in placing a stone of their color on an empty intersection. The winner is the first player to get an unbroken row of five stones horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

Dog Days of Summer

In the mornings, the first hint of autumn creeps through open windows. Dusk comes earlier each evening. Even the bold trade in their t-shirts for long sleeves during the brisk nights. As if attempting to stake its claim on the day, summer warms the lazy afternoons. These days are few, but important.

Like the bottom of a cold beer, I treasure the last few weeks of summer. I enjoy the last breaths of summer and search for the first hints of fall. Torn between bidding farewell to the warm comfort of summer and the excitement of change, I cherish both in the dog days of summer.

The first apples of the autumn.

Lazy drives with meandering destinations.

Hikes above tree line on Mt. Hood.

Rides on dirt roads in a 1952 Willys Jeep.

My dad and brother watching a glider circle the 11,000-foot peak.

The last blueberries of the season.

Wind torn trees on a ridge on Mt. Hood.

The first bites of a ripe pear.

Lazy Sundays in fields.

Recently, I enjoyed one such Sunday in early September near Mt. Hood in the Columbia River Gorge. I hope you enjoy yours.

Local Measure addresses the importance of extracting value from Big Data

Claims if done right, it can change the way businesses deal with customers

Local Measure addresses the importance of extracting value from Big Data

Local Measure addresses the importance of extracting value from Big Data

There are many opportunities surrounding the Big Data space and if businesses milk the value from all the data they’ve got, it can change the way they deal with customers, according to Local Measure founder and chief executive, Jonathan Barouch.

The Australian location based social media monitoring and customer experience management company has been involved with B2B businesses to help alleviate the struggles of not knowing what to do with an abundance of local public social data.

“Most companies have a huge amount of data – whether it’s transactional data or loyalty, or website data – and they don’t exactly know what to do with it. Not many businesses extract actionable intelligence and operationalise it well,” Barouch said.

As such, he addressed the importance for analytics companies to step up and help businesses with their datasets.

“We have to start thinking about data in terms of how it helps clients. It makes a huge difference as you can use the data and the things you know about your customers to change the way you better serve them. It can have an instant impact on your sales.”

Barouch said the channel will be key, especially with an ever-increasing volume of data expected to hit the market in the coming years.

“We’re only at the tip of the iceberg. A lot of companies are now beginning to capture that data, but not necessarily using it yet so the channel has an opportunity to offer services in that space. There’s a whole bunch of Cloud services where you can just pump your data into these platforms but there needs to be analytics on top of these platforms,” he added.

Barouch added that Local Measure has been on a growth spurt recently, having opened a new office in London and hiring Sara Axelrod (former Twitter head of technology, telecom, and mobile) as the company’s chief operating officer.

He also mentioned that the company’s focusing on data and reporting capabilities currently but will be looking to include local analytics to its solutions in the coming months.

“For us, this year is all about the data journey. We’ve got granular, local data on consumers that share the public domain. So we want to help our customers better leverage that and potentially connect that within the other data sets that they’re holding so they can better serve their customers.

“Phase one was all about Australian companies using analytics to responding to things like customer complaints, but phase two is going to be all about how it’s going to feed into marketing and operations and how it will help them automate and communicate with customers,” he claimed.

He also said the company intends to grow the company threefold, especially with a focus on the hospitality, tourism, retail, and entertainment verticals.
