Oh now you’re [u:35csssyd]really[/u:35csssyd] reaching Stefan.
Tom kicked your butt in the better hockey player video contest, so now you’re changed sports to golf.
In that case, Happy Gilmore is the best hockey player. Did you see that wicked putt he made on the 18th to beat Shooter McGavin? Clearly Stanley Cup quality that was.
The story (tidbit) was on the front page of nhl.com, in a moderately prominent place. That’s about as good as web linkage goes.
Be interesting to see how hits on our site, and the iceblacks.com and nzicehockey.co.nz site go over the next 48 hours – see how many people have browsed over for a look.
Unfortunately Ryan, they didn’t link to our site, they missed out a w in www. I’ve filled in their form, hopefully they’ll fix it.
I hear his rap which he does at the end of year party or something, complete with bling, is really worth seeing.

[/quote:29lc3740]I don’t mind this skating 27 hours a day lark, but lets remember Chris that some of us have seen you skate, and I think the consensus is that at your speed you should stick to generating for a small lightbulb.
The 10% rule is an agreement between the Copyright Licensing Authority, or whatever it’s called, and educational institutions. I’m not sure if it’d codified in law or if it’s just an agreement. There are exceptions to the 10% as well – it’s 10% or an article or chapter, whichever is larger etc.
Anyway, there are exceptions in copyright law. A common one which is invoked is satire. You can take an advert off TV, mash it up and re-publish it in satire of the original, and then claim fair use of copyrighted material for satire purposes. There’s others to do with news/media reporting, though if the story has a photograph with it that would be trickier to get around as the law I think is stricter on those.
Not necessarily. Just because everything is copyright upon publication doesn’t mean you need to get permission to reproduce it. There are exceptions to copyright.
It would also depend on the agreement (or lack of) between the NZIHL, the rink, and the ODT.
Either way, the ODT isn’t going to sue if you credit them. And they probably won’t even sue if you don’t credit them. And they’ll probably never know.
It’s not a breach of copyright if you scan the page and put it up. It’ll be clearly identified as an ODT story.
Breaching copyright would be stealing the story and putting it somewhere as your own work.

[/quote:3uce1l1w]Does it begin with “Kyle and I didn’t think to transfer the key when we were only a block away from each other at work” and finish with “Now we can’t be bothered to drive out to Kyle’s house to pick up the key”?
"Ryan":1wjn3viy wrote:Simple solution to the goal judges problem is to just do what we did in the DIHL previously. Made it compulsory for teams to front with goal judges, if they don’t they’re penalised. I can’t imagine teams wouldn’t bothered arranging goal judges if they lost points for it. That’s basically how the South Island Region Inline Hockey League worked and there was rarely any goal judges missing.
[/quote:1wjn3viy]I never saw any southern region teams get penalised for not fronting for duties – including us a few times when it happened.
Anyway, someone else’s problem from next Tuesday. We should definitely have goal judges for the final though. Any volunteers?

Or y’know. Shoes.
Heh. No, Never been to Texas. Closest I ever got was Nor’leans.
It’s clearly a bustling metropolis though. Top news ‘highlight’ on their web site is ‘The City of Kyle is now under our Stage One Water Management Plan!’ It’s the exclamation point that makes it clear just how exciting that is in Kyle, TX.
Other big news in Kyle, TX:
“The opening of Kyle’s first full service grocery store is still a few weeks away, but other retailers are rapidly filling in the surrounding store fronts in anticipation of HEB’s grand opening in June.”
Wow, my town is about to open a grocery store. Sweet.
If it’s the one I’m thinking of, where the puck finished on the line, I thought I had a pretty good view of that (I was of to the left side on the goal line), not too far away, and didn’t see that puck in the net. Aaron stopped it right on the line and his pad was right on top of it, rather than being in front of it.
I was out of position (too far behind the play) on the first goal which is why I couldn’t say 100% that it went in.
The lack of goal judges is a problem in our games. If people when they’re out on the ice playing want to get better support for referees in giving/not giving goals, then they need to goal judge when they’re not playing. People don’t tend to do that here, even though we ask for it, so they just have to lump it when someone doesn’t do it for them.
If there was a queue of people to get paid for enabling ice hockey games to happen, I’d put the people in the scorebox well ahead of goal judges. We’re very lucky in Dunedin that we have a few wonderful women who do the majority of our scoring and timekeeping for absolutely nothing.
Before I started playing ice hockey I played inline hockey. There team duties include all of refereeing, goal judging, and scoring/timekeeping. Only refereeing was paid, and when a team got duties, they had to front up with six people, two of whom were qualified referees, and two of whom could run scoring and timekeeping. Here when duties is on the roster, the
In ice hockey here, people seem to think that all they need to do is pay money and play. That only works if they don’t want goal judges, and we continue to be fantastically supported by our scorebox wonder-people.
