AMERICUS - Georgia Southwestern men's basketball standout Phillip Brown was named to the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) State Farm Coaches' Division II All-American Team on Tuesday.
Brown spearheaded GSW's dramatic turnaround this season as the Peach Belt Conference Player of the Year and an All-Conference First Team selection. He was named the PBC Player of the Week on three occasions and finished the year averaging 14.7 points and 10.9 rebounds per game. Brown shot 62.9 percent from the field, leading the PBC in both rebounding and field goal percentage. He ranked second in the conference in blocked shots and finished 11th in scoring.
Brown currently ranks near the top of D-II in several categories, as well, including rebounds per game (fifth), field goal percentage (13th) and blocks (21st).
The 6-foot-7 junior recorded 14 double-doubles this season and scored in double-figures on 24 occasions. In addition, he pulled down double-figure rebounds 16 times.
Brown is the first student-athlete in GSW history to be named an NCAA All-American. The Hurricanes had 44 All-Americans while members of the NAIA.
Brown becomes the 10th men's basketball player in GSW history to be named All-American, the first since Gary Wilson in 2002.
The All-American team is selected and voted on by member coaches of the NABC, representing the finest basketball players across America.

I assume there will be a post game thread [indeed], but in the spirit of thread hijacking and impatience, I was curious about trends those on the market for several years noticed. It seemed to me that slightly fewer schools did APA interviews, and even even fewer participated in the smoker. (Both nights it seemed like there were very few candidates at tables)
But it was hard for me to get a handle on overall numbers, especially because I didn't have any comparison class.
It did seem to me that there were fewer departments interviewing at the conference this year; the ballroom seemed pretty sparsely populated, at least in comparison to past years. And it also seemed to me that there were a lot fewer departments with tables at the Smoker--and that several of the departments who did have tables were not interviewing. Additionally, it seemed to me that there were comparatively more applicants using the placement service than two years ago (which is the most recent year I know anything about, since I skipped Boston last year). I'm not sure what to make of this last thing.
Also, I wanted to express my gratitude to the Smokers who left suggestions in the "Things to Do" thread. I was able to put together a pretty nice sightseeing day on the basis of your suggestions. Thanks!
--Mr. Zero

Brown rice, a 100 percent whole grain food, joins the recognized ranks of healthful whole grains, according to a recent announcement by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that will allow brown rice food labels to bear the whole grain health claim.
That will enable consumers to easily identify brown rice as a food to help them increase whole grain consumption and reduce their risk of heart disease and certain cancers.
Brown rice and other whole grain foods are widely recommended to consumers by the public health community including the American Heart Association, American Cancer Society and the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans for their protective effects against heart disease and certain cancers. In fact, the Dietary Guidelines recommend "making half of all grain servings whole," or three daily whole grain servings in a standard 2,000-calorie reference diet.
Still, data from a recent consumer survey conducted by EatingWell magazine and the USA Rice Federation show that the majority of Americans (65 percent) are not meeting their whole grains quota.
Consumers can now be on the lookout for brown rice labeled with the FDA whole grain health claim: "Diets rich in whole grain foods and other plant foods and low in total fat, saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease and some cancers."
FDA's action explicitly extends an existing health claim to include whole grain rice. For the first time, FDA states that all single ingredient whole grain foods qualify for the claim regardless of whether they meet the requirement for a minimum level of dietary fiber, as long as they meet the other general health claim requirements.
The dietary fiber requirement was established in 1999 to monitor compliance with the claim. FDA now states that compliance for single ingredient whole grain foods will be monitored by examining package ingredient statements, not through fiber content. The science on which the health claim is based clearly acknowledges that the health benefits of whole grains are independent of their fiber content.
From a public health perspective, this news means that now there's one more option for the nearly 90 percent of Americans who know that whole grains should be part of a healthy diet and the 70 percent who say they would be likely to increase whole grain consumption if the benefits were clearly listed on the package.
"Rice is the most popular grain around the world, which makes brown rice a great choice for increasing whole grain intake," says Joann Slavin, whole grains expert and professor of food science and nutrition at the University of Minnesota. "In the United States, where chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancers are common, encouraging whole grain brown rice consumption could have a significant public health impact."
One hundred percent whole grain brown rice is an economical, nutritious and versatile food. With only the inedible hull removed, brown rice contains beneficial phytonutrients including antioxidants, anthocyanins, phytosterols, tocopherols oryzanol and many other potentially protective substances that have been found to help reduce the risk of heart disease, certain cancers, type II diabetes and potentially aid in weight maintenance.
Brown rice also contains 15 vitamins and minerals, including B-vitamins, potassium, magnesium, selenium, iron, and 2 grams of fiber per one half cup of cooked rice.
According to the EatingWell/USA Rice survey:
• 87 percent of consumers know that whole grains are good for them. However, while more than 80 percent know whole grains can be protective against cardiovascular disease, less than two-thirds are aware that they also offers protection against certain cancers.
• There's still confusion about what foods are whole grains. While 80 percent of consumers know that brown rice is a whole grain, more than 80 percent also mistakenly think that bran cereal and breads marked simply as "wheat" are also whole grains.
• Most individuals (80 percent) said they would be likely to eat more whole grains if these foods were clearly labeled as whole grains; and another 68 percent said they would increase consumption if the health benefits were stated on the package.
"Since eating just one cup of brown rice is equivalent to two of the three recommended daily whole grain servings, the new health claim will certainly assist people in meeting their whole grain goals," said Slavin.
"This is a milestone event. Today brown rice joins the recognized ranks of healthful foods that are entitled to make this claim. Having this information on packages of brown rice will help consumers increase whole grain consumption and reduce their risk of heart disease and some cancers," said Al Montna, chairman of the USA Rice Federation.
The goal of seeking a health claim for brown rice was an outcome of the USDA-USA Rice Federation 2007 Rice Utilization Workshop, "Exploiting the Health-Beneficial Properties of the Rice Grain" (www.usarice.com/processing, click on Rice Utilization Workshop).
The FDA action adds support to the growing body of scientific data that shows that rice is a healthy food choice. Recent research found that rice eaters are more likely to eat a diet consistent with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans.
Americans who eat rice have healthier diets than non-rice eaters and may have reduced risk for chronic diseases including heart disease and type II diabetes. Compared to people who do not eat rice, people who eat rice consume less added sugar and fat; consume more nutrients, such as folic acid, potassium and iron that are contained in rice products; are less likely to be overweight or have an increased waist circumference; have 34 percent reduced risk of having high blood pressure; and have a 21 percent reduced risk of metabolic syndrome.
In both whole grain brown and enriched white forms, rice is a complex carbohydrate that is naturally low in calories, is sodium-, gluten- and cholesterol-free, has just a trace of fat, and contains no trans or saturated fat. Due to its mild flavor, rice also complements many other healthy foods, including vegetables, lean meat, seafood, poultry, beans and soy foods. Rice is nutritious due to its nutrient profile, and it is also highly-digestible and non-allergenic, and can be enjoyed by young and old alike.
Rice poses no risk for those who are sensitive to or intolerant of gluten or other proteins commonly found in other grain-based foods.

I am finding a different version in different arenas of what size is actually a twin? A queen? A king? etc...is there a standard size that everyone uses or goes by?Thanks very much ahead of time for a clueless Skeat!
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I am finding a different version in different arenas of what size is actually a twin? A queen? A king? etc...is there a standard size that everyone uses or goes by?Thanks very much ahead of time for a clueless Skeat!
Quilters Newsletter has a Yardage Card for figuring yardage for backings.
The list the following sizes. Twin 63 x 87
Double 78 X 87
Queen 84 X 92
King 100 X 92
But these are only guides, not rules!!!!!!
I hope I haven't broken any rules by posting this! :?
Shemjo, you didn't break any rules when credit is given where due:)Besides, I have big shoulders and would take the heat for a good answer any day!:))Skeat ..........who wonders where the sizes for some quilts even come from? Some have what they would consider 'lap' that might fit the dog:)
Just to make your life more difficult, we have different "standard" sizes over here.
Wikipedia has them listed under "bed".
I've been asked by a friend to make her daughter a single bed quilt (I think you guys call it a twin) so I went and measured my kid's beds.... four beds supposedly all singles, and three different sizes! LOL Not much help at all that is!
I think some sets of measurements take into account an overhang.
I know when we bought our new 18" deep mattress, my old queen size quilt was too small so now I have to make more of a king size to fit!!! So I guess it can all depend on each indiviual bed.
Now you are starting to see an almost newbie's frustration:)Yikes!! What are we to do? Maybe someone needs to step up to the plate and make an official bed size outloud or something:))LOL It would be nice if they had a 'standard' size and then all quilts, other beds, etc would have to say not standard size...or something to flag a 'hey'! Loretta...I didn't see the chart?Did the alien bed people take it?LOL Skeat
I make mine a little larger..otherwise the dog gets all the covers :shock: :shock: :shock:
Someone posted this on another thread.
Hope this is right. :?
I know with my bed I made one 85 inches across and it JUST makes it. When I did the moose and train quilt I made it 88 wide and they said it fit perfectly on their bed. Now a friend of mine has the super deep mattress with the pillow top on it. That one I would have to make it 90 in order for it to cover the sides of mattresses.
I got a chart one time from a store (can't remember which) that just gave the top measurements of the sizes. The drop was not included.
I like the longer quilts anyway so when I make more for my bed.........the bigger the better!!
I always try to measure the bed....however that won't help much when we buy new mattresses...like when I change the guest room from a regular queen to a pillowtop queen...darn it...then I'll be all messed up!
This is confusing isn't it??
lol hopefully it is one BIG dog :lol:Originally Posted by Skeat

Sebelius to face tough questioning on health law
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans said Sunday they intend to press Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on the Obama administration's troubled launch of healthcare.gov, the online portal to buy health insurance, the linchpin of the president's signature legislative achievement.
Meanwhile, the healthcare.gov application and enrollment system was down Sunday afternoon because the company that hosts the site had an Internet outage. HHS spokeswoman Joanne Peters wrote on Twitter that Terremark, the hosting company, was "working to fix ASAP," or "as soon as possible."
The Obama administration will face intense pressure next week to be more forthcoming about how many people have actually succeeded in enrolling for coverage in the new insurance markets. Medicare chief Marilyn Tavenner is to testify during a House hearing on Tuesday, followed Wednesday by Sebelius before the House Energy and Commerce Committee. The officials will also be grilled on how such crippling technical problems could have gone undetected prior to the website's Oct. 1 launch.
"The incompetence in building this website is staggering," said Rep. Marsha Blackburn, the second ranking Republican on the panel and an opponent of the law.
Democrats said the new system needed time to get up and running, and it could be fixed to provide millions of people with affordable insurance. Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear, a Democrat, said the system was "working in Kentucky," a state that has dealt with "some of the worst health statistics in the country ... The only way we're going to get ourselves out of the ditch is some transformational tool," like the new health insurance system.
Some states such as Kentucky have set up their own online exchanges which appear to be working better than the federal website which covers three dozen states. Many Republican-led states refused to set up their own exchanges because their governors oppose the health care overhaul, claiming it will cost jobs and increase government spending.
The marketplaces are the gateway to obtaining health insurance under the new health care law, which requires most Americans to have coverage by Jan. 1. Middle-class people who don't have insurance on the job can purchase a private plan with new tax credits to make the premiums more affordable. Low-income people will be steered to an expanded version of Medicaid — the government-funded program that provides health care coverage for the poor — in states that agree to extend the safety net program
The U.S. has been the only major developed country without a national health care system, and the overhaul was supposed to change that. The system is not the centralized, government-run setup seen in places like Britain and instead uses various ways to require or encourage Americans to get private or, for the poor or elderly, government-provided insurance.
What's become known as "Obamacare" is the closest the U.S. has ever come to universal health care after a century of efforts, and it has been under heavy attack by opposition Republicans from the start.
Now, with congressional elections coming next year, Republicans are using the troubled launch of the government website to regain momentum after their effort to defund Obamacare led to a 16-day partial government shutdown.
Blackburn said she wanted to know much has been spent on the website, how much more it will cost to fix the problems, when everything will be ready and what people should expect to see on the site. Blackburn and Republican Rep. Mike Rogers also raised questions of whether the website could guard the privacy of applicants.
"The way the system is designed it is not secure," said Rogers, who is chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
The administration sought to reassure applicants about their personal information. HHS spokeswoman Joanne Peters said when consumers fill out their applications, "they can trust that the information they're providing is protected by stringent security standards and that the technology underlying the application process has been tested and is secure."
The botched rollout has led to calls on Capitol Hill for a delay of penalties for those remaining uninsured. The Obama administration has said it's willing to extend the grace period until Mar. 31, the end of open enrollment. That's an extra six weeks. The insurance industry says going beyond that risks undermining the new system by giving younger, healthier people a pass. Their premiums are needed to offset the increased cost of covering older people with pre-existing conditions who now cannot be turned down for insurance.
Several Democratic senators are among those calling for a delay to the penalty for noncompliance. Sen. Joe Manchin, who is seeking a yearlong delay to the penalty for noncompliance, said his approach would "still induce people to get involved, but it will also give us the time to transition in. And I think we need that transition period to work out the things."
The administration was under no legal requirement to launch the website Oct 1. Sebelius, who designated her department's Medicare agency to implement the health care law, had the discretion to set open enrollment dates. Officials could have postponed open enrollment by a month, or they could have phased in access to the website.
But all through last summer and into early fall, the administration insisted it was ready to go live in all 50 states on Oct. 1.
An HHS memo prepared for Sebelius in September estimated that nearly 500,000 people would enroll for coverage in the marketplaces during October, their first month of operation. The actual number is likely to be only a fraction of that. The administration has said 700,000 people have completed applications.
On Friday, the Obama administration acknowledged the HealthCare.gov website has dozens of complex problems and tapped a private company to oversee fixes.
Jeffrey Zients, a management consultant brought in by the White House to assess the extent of problems, told reporters the website is "fixable" and the majority of issues will be resolved by the end of November.
Blackburn spoke on "Fox News Sunday," Beshear appeared on NBC's "Meet the Press," Rogers was on CNN's "State of the Union," Manchin was interviewed on ABC's "This Week," and Shaheen made her comments on CBS' "Face the Nation."
Associated Press writer Ken Thomas in Washington contributed to this report.

Galax's population will soar in the coming week, as thousands of fiddlin' fans descend on the city. Felts Park will open its gates at 7 a.m. Sunday for the 80th Annual Old Fiddlers' Convention. The competition opens Monday night and lasts through Aug. 8.
Most of the convention's expected 1,300 campers will show up Sunday to set up camp.
Locals who aren't convention-bound should avoid the place altogether or choose alternate routes, Galax police advise. Main Street north and south will be congested for most of the morning and should be avoided.
Members of Galax Moose Lodge #733, sponsor of the convention, have been getting the park ready and by Sunday afternoon, the park will be filled with tents, campers, RVs, tour buses, school buses, tepees and assorted improvised shelters.
Attendance is estimated at 35,000 to 40,000 over the week.
Out-of-towners and locals who want to immerse themselves in the ambiance will head into the park to camp. Around 80 percent of them will try to get in on Sunday, according to the Moose Lodge, and the majority will line up early that morning.
The Galax Police Department encourages those entering the park on Sunday morning to use Railroad Avenue.
Officers will work the intersection at South Main Street and Fair Street and make sure that the same number of vehicles from each side of Main are fed into the line entering the park.
Northbound vehicles on Main trying to enter the park must remain off the roadway to allow through traffic.
Campers who travel south on Main from U.S. 58/East Stuart Drive to the park must stay out of the highway until directed by an officer.
Officers will feed vehicles parked in spaces or private lots off the highway into the line headed to the park.
Motorists shouldn't block intersections or attempt to enter an established line by going around the block and cutting in. Police caution motorists not to block the bridge over Chestnut Creek.
Don't try to be clever and sneak into the head of the line. Officers say some vehicles drive around the park prior to the gate opening, hoping to get in first, but police don't allow them to cut in line.
Police will keep one side of the road open for emergency traffic.
To avoid the long and slow-moving morning lines, campers who don't care about snagging a certain spot should show up later in the day. Walk-in campers will be admitted after 4 p.m. on Sunday.
Drivers not trying to get into Felts Park should use alternate routes. The best way to avoid downtown altogether is to use Meadow Street, which runs parallel to Main.
Traffic coming north on Main will be detoured at Fair Street to Railroad Avenue, then west on Grayson Street and back to Main. Traffic coming south on Main will be detoured down Lafayette Street, Parkwood Avenue and MacArthur Street back to South Main.
The youth competition will begin Monday at 5:30 p.m. Youth bands will perform and individual contestants age 15 and younger will show off their skills on fiddle, banjo, mandolin and guitar.
Competitions the rest of the week all start at 6 p.m. Folk song and flatfoot dance competition will start at noon on Saturday.
Admission to the fiddlers' convention is $6 on Monday through Thursday nights, $10 Friday night and $12 on Saturday. Season and contestant tickets are $40.
Children age 12 and younger are admitted free with a paid escort.
Camping fee is $80 per space.

Giza (الجيزة al-Gīza) is an important western district of the Egyptian capital Cairo - a city in its own right, but for a long time now absorbed as part of the heavily-populated and sprawling Cairo metropolis. Giza is best known as that part of Cairo closest to the world-famous Pyramids of Giza, situated high on the desert plateau immediately to the west of the urban district, itself located in the valley and centred around the Pyramids Road, linking central Cairo with the ancient wonders. One of the premier attractions of Egypt, if not the world, the Pyramids of Giza represent the archetypal pyramid structures of ancient Egyptian civilisation and - together with the Sphinx at the base of the Giza plateau - are the iconic image of Egypt.
The city / district of Giza is important as a secondary - and increasingly popular - option for travellers for food, accommodation and entertainment beyond central Cairo. Most of these services are concentrated along the local transport artery, the Pyramids Road.
The desert plateau of Giza, adjacent to the Pyramids, will eventually form the site of the Grand Museum of Egypt [2] (the competition-winning design conceived by an Irish architectural team led by Shih-Fu Peng), the long-awaited primary replacement for the long-standing Egyptian Museum in Midan Tahrir. Completion has been projected for 2012.
Not much more than a century ago, the Pyramids Road existed as little more than a dusty carriage track amongst irrigated fields, leading out from the city to the then small peasant village of Giza adjoining the pyramid field. Given the rapidly increasing population of Cairo in the 20th century, and the obvious tourist opportunities that the Pyramids provided, Giza has now been transformed beyond recognition to those pioneering Western travellers of the late 19th century. Major arterial roads, apartment blocks, retail strips, restaurants and night clubs now replace what used to be palm-fringed farmers' fields, and the city has now spread to the very limit of the desert plateau. Such rapid development, of course, has not been without its costs - social, economic and aesthetic - and the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities is now making some efforts to control and channel future (re)development in areas closest to the Pyramids themselves.
The three main Pyramids of Giza are the focal point of the Giza necropolis, or cemetery, that served the elite of the Old Kingdom capital of Egypt at nearby Memphis during the mid to late 4th Dynasty (late 3rd millennium BCE). Three pharaohs were buried here in turn - Khufu, Khafre and Menkaure - their astounding burials attracting a number of surrounding associated burials of their queens, family members and nobility.
Get in
By metro
Metro Line 2 now runs from Cairo into Giza, although it doesn't go all the way to the Pyramids. Get off at Giza station (not the terminus!) and ask around for minibuses for the remaining 10 km, 15-20 min trip to the Pyramids (al-ahram).
By taxi
It's possible to negotiate a taxi to take to you out to the Pyramids from any of the traveller-frequented parts of central Cairo - don't forget to haggle however. Taxi drivers will nearly always want to take you to see their "brother's" perfume shop, or their "father's" carpet warehouse on the way - if you don't want to waste time doing this, and being put on the spot to make a purchase - just make it very clear that you only want to see the antiquities.
Fortunately there is another Taxi option which is the Yellow ones, these are metered and air conditioned. You will save yourself the hassle with the black and white taxies mentioned above, and almost the same cost.
By bus
From central Cairo, the optimum way to get to the Giza Pyramids using public mass transit options is by bus routes 355 or 357 - a large white, air-conditioned coach with CTA (Cairo Transport Authority) on the side. Travelling every 20 minutes from the airport and Heliopolis, the bus stops (or doesn't - you may have to flag it down!) at the Abdel Menem Riyad Station in Midan Tahrir, next to the Egyptian Museum, before continuing out to Giza and the Pyramids. Tickets costs LE 2 - a bargain!
Even cheaper and more interesting is taking the ordinary buses 990 or 997, costing 50 piastres, from the big central bus station close to the museum, ask people to find the correct lane. Be careful when about getting down, most people will be honest and help you, but you may encounter scammers who take you to their camels instead of to the pyramids. For 997, the correct spot is along a long avenue, after you're spotted the Pyramids and the bus has done a U-turn and then turned left — get off when you a see a blue sign for the Light and Sound show.
All the worthwhile attractions within the Giza area are concentrated on the Giza Plateau at the end of Pyramids Road. Some people are shocked to travel down a street in Giza and see the tip of a Pyramid rise up over the golden arches of a McDonalds with a sign in Arabic - your idea of pyramids rising up out of an empty desert might not match the reality.
There are two ticket offices: the first is near the main entrace, the second - near Sphinx, in the eastern part of the Plateau. If use use the second one in the morning you will avoid crowds of tourists and will have a possibility to explore the Sphinx area all alone in silence. Entry to the site is LE 50, and to enter the pyramids themselves costs another LE 20 for the Pyramid of Menkaure and LE 100 for the Great Pyramid of Khufu. Student ids will come in handy, giving you a 50% discount. The interior of the pyramids is hot, humid and somewhat claustrophobic, with the passeges steep, dusty and hard to move through, and those with any heart or lung issues or a physical handicap will want to steer clear. For those willing to brave these conditions, however, it may be an interesting and educational experience. Personally witnessing the interior walls and passage ways of the pyramids gives one an even deeper appreciation of the tremendous achievement accomplished by the builders of these ancient structures. The folks checking tickets at entry will state no cameras allowed, but a small tip will usually result in them allowing it.
Not all the Pyramids are equally accessible for interior exploration, the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities closing them to the public at least one at a time for conservation and renovation measures.
Climbing the Pyramids, although once a popular tourist activity, is both now officially forbidden and extremely dangerous - several tourists have met an untimely death attempting to. Some Pyramid guards have been known to turn a blind eye in return for baksheesh in less frequented areas, but this practice has a very negative impact on the pyramids and is strongly discouraged.
It's wise to arrive at the Pyramids at the moment they open, as tour bus activity and (in the summer) the heat quickly make the attractions overrun and difficult to fully enjoy.
Do not give up your ticket to anyone outside of the gate checkpoints. You will need to show it to enter through the metal detectors at the entrance to the Pyramids area, Sphinx area, and to enter the Pyramid if you choose to pay for that ticket. There are many folks who will walk up and claim (true or false?) to work for the government and ask to see the ticket, then take it and try to start a tour for you. They want to explain things at a fast pace, and then demand a tip. Do not give up your ticket and do not be afraid to stand up for yourself and refuse tip. If you want a tour, better ones can be booked in advance and will offer more accurate details of what you are seeing. (A favorite place for them to lurk is beside the tombs outside the Great Pyramid.)
If you eat at the Pizza Hut restaurant just outside the entrance to the Sound and Light Show, there's a good chance you'll be offered to watch the show from the roof of the restaurant for a small tip. While it's not as good as watching it from a front row seat inside the fences, it's excellent value for money.
A number of Western fast food options exist immediately opposite the main ticket gates to the Pyramid enclosure, Pizza Hut and KFC included, so you can munch on a Tower burger and sip on a coke in air-conditioned comfort whilst gazing on the 4,000+ year-old Sphinx across the road! (Many travellers might prefer a more authentic experience....)
General accommodation options are somewhat limited within the Giza district - most travellers tend to stay in and around central Cairo itself and travel out to the Pyramids for at least part of the day. For people determined to stay in close vicinity and / or for whom cost is no issue, there are a number of very comfortable options:
Stay safe

coaching for a full & well-fed life
What happens when we don't know what we're truly hungry for?
We feed ourselves things that don't satisfy us.
We drift through life, without agency. We constrict.
We mute our vibrancy. We squelch our radiance.
What happens when we deny our True Hungers?
We seek out satisfaction in all the wrong places…and (surprise!) we don't find it.
Ease becomes elusive. Everything is cumbersome.
We embody insecurity. People sense it and recoil.
We go crazy. We obsess.
We're never satisfied. We're always hungry.
What happens when we acknowledge our True Hungers?
Magic. Ease. Trust. Clarity. Alignment. Satiation. Fulfillment.
When we acknowledge what we're truly hungry for, we unfold.
We clear space for self-defined success.
We make love to life.
And what happens when we feed our True Hungers?
We glow.
We glow as if we've just had incredible sex, or eaten the Greatest Meal Ever, or completed our magnus opus.
We glow so authentically, that the world around us takes notice.
Can everyone have exactly what they're truly hungry for?
Yes. Yes. And more Yes.
Because the things that feed our True Hungers–deep pleasure, creative expression, real adventures and real laughter, a connection to inner wisdom, rest and retreat–exist in infinite abundance. There is no shortage. There are no limited-time-offers.
Our True Hungers are always good and honest.
Our True Hungers push us with passion and force, but never desperation.
Our True Hungers are never too big, too much, too crazy, or wrong.
And it is our right, as human beings, to feed and satiate our True Hungers.
This is the philosophy that defines my coaching.
Simply put, I'm here to guide you towards a pleasure-filled, nourishing, well-fed life.
I work primarily with women.
Women who are exhausted from striving to meet impossible standards and are ready to see the perfection that lies in life's imperfections.
Women who want to tame their inner critic and take the wonder-filled journey of falling in love with all of who they are.
Women who are sitting at a starting line, either because they want something new for their lives or because life has pulled the rug out from under them and put them there.
Women who want to tap the wisdom that is naturally abundant within themselves.
Women who want their life to overflow with meaning and delight.
Women who are hungry and crave a well-fed life.
Women who want an ease-ful relationship with food, their body, and themselves.
Women who no longer want to minimize, deny, numb, avoid, or ignore their truest and deepest desires – they want to feast!
How it works
I coach clients two times each month for a minimum of three months (this allows us to really get into the good stuff). Sessions last 60 minutes and are conducted easily over the telephone. Tele-coaching allows us to work together no matter where you happen to live and saves you time, stress and money. If you live in the San Francisco Bay area and are interested in in-person sessions, let me know.
I charge $375/month—this includes two powerful 60-minute sessions and some email support between sessions as needed. I provide anyone interested in coaching a free 30-minute consultation to explore our working together. To schedule your call, email me and we'll set it up. Please note, I reserve a few sliding scale spaces in my practice.
Does coaching not fit your needs? I occasionally do one-off consulting sessions where I dish out solid advice, intuition, experience, resources, strategy, perspective, love and know-how for a delightful 90 minutes. For all the delicious details, head over to my consulting page.

One Piece - Chapter 645 [manga]
Welcome to the weekly manga discussion thread for One Piece.
Thread Guidelines
Wow, early spoilers! Well, this was unexpected. Anyways, credit goes to the usual guys for this brief summary (well, it was actually T's wife who provided spoilers this time around, rather than the guy himself ):
-During his fight with Hody, Luffy finally decides to destroy the Noah. Meanwhile, Chopper transforms into his old Chopzilla mode. While at first he seems to be going berserk..... he actually reveals that he has full control of his Awakened form! The army of fish-pirates then abandon their commanders, finally realizing that they're fighting a long-lost battle. It seems the battles will soon come to an end.....
-It seems that Luffy finally finishes Hody off. He uses Gomu Gomu no Elephant Gatling on fish-captain, which destroys both him and the Noah in one fell swoop....
So, looks like destroying Noah was how Luffy responded to Bro-Hoshi's "return to zero" speech after all. However, I still somewhat doubt that Hody's actually been finished off, despite getting caught in such an epic attack (especially since the other commanders still haven't lost yet). Maybe he'll temporarily lose consciousness or something for a couple chapters and make his last stand after the rest of the fights are over, or something.....
Also, it's cool to finally learn that Chopper finally managed to control his awakened form! Really makes me look forward to seeing some awakened enemies in future arcs. Still, as sweet as the spoiler sounds, it unfortunately came along with some bad news:
Note: There will be no OP chapter next week as the series will be on a break. I repeat: The series will be on break next week, so don't expect to see a new thread until around the 15th.

I don't understand what's the point of Hody staying up ?Yeah so the pills gave him an endurance boost,now what ?He still keeps getting punched around like a punching bag by every straw-hat member.
Chopper's control over his monster form doesn't really surprise me,although nice to see it confirmed.

For the next chapter I can see an awesome double spread featuring the strawhats defeating their opponents at the same time
So I guess what will destroy Fishman Island in the end will be the debris of the Noah, scattering and falling all over the place.
This or Shirahoshi finally snaps and summnons the sea kings. I go with the later, because it's fairly important for her character development.

Man, Chopper in his awakened form is just a BEAST! I remember being amazed at how easily he crushed Kumadori at Enies Lobby, after losing every fight in his controlled forms. I wonder why he decided to transform now - finishing everything in one move, as well?

I don't get why you guys want Hody to stay in the game so much just because the other NFP guys are still fighting. So what? Just because it happened before, does it mean it HAS to happen now too? Are you telling me Oda can't change things up a bit?
Besides Hody isn't even a threat compared to all of the other arc villains like Lucci, Enel and Moria. Those guys had to be taken out by Luffy since no others could handle them but Hody could be taken out by most of the Strawhats as it seems. So...so what if Hody is taken out first or last?
Also...great, I was wondering why Oda was taking so long for yet another break...>_>

If this was PTS Zoro, Hyouzou probably would have been Kaku threat level. But...

All we got was him saying he lost his swords. How do we know he isn't trying to trick Zoro with some poisonous blade concealed in his body? I mean, he wasn't exactly shown to be the honorable type of fighter (nor any of the arc bosses, for that matter).
Very much agreed. In fact, Brooke owned all throughout this arc, period. I also love that little gag where the merfolk were unsure if he was even human.
Still, I wonder what the point of Noah was if it was going to be destroyed in the end? And I guess the possibility of Caribou being the final enemy is more likely than expected, after all.....
Oh, and if anyone hasn't done so yet, check out the SBS thread! There's a neat little surprise waiting there!

As expected, monster form is under control. I wonder how he practiced in that form in that tiny island. Probably by receiving some help from the giant birds.
Now, if we can see a bit more exciting changes from Sanji and Zoro...it would be much more enjoyable. But, probably that won't happen soon enough, since it looks like Luffy will wrap this up within the next few chapters.

Chopper gaining control was a given. But the fact that the octo-swordsman is a pussy was a real let down. I remember in the earlier comments when he said that he was actually hired and not apart of the crew. If I remember correctly, he also said that he was stronger then Hody.
I'm sure it's known that if Luffy was on dry ground, he would of beaten Hody Jones looooooooooooooong ago. I think that was proven when Luffy knocked him away so easily with that knee to the chest at the very beginning of the fight.
Oda really knows how to draw things out.

Does anyone know this week's cover story? All in all, the chapter was good. Chopper managed to control his "awakened" form very well. And Luffy finished Hody off along with the Noah. I'd say One Piece deserved that break for next week after this triumphant victory. Though I wonder how and when Fishman Island is going to be destroyed after all this. I also wonder if everyone at Fishman Island knows about Caribou and wether or not he decides to sell the captured mermaids to the World Nobles at Mariejoie.

this whole arc has been drawn out far longer then i would have liked, glad to see it coming to an end [seemingly], and as sum1 else said i too would have liked to see a more impressive upgrade from sanji and zoro.
Cant wait for the actual New World adventure to begin!

nice speech, brook! and that's a badass power, chopper
well, hody is defeated easily... and I still hope we can get more intense battle in upcoming chapter...
I'm sure Noah will be destroyed by combination of whole Strawhat Pirates power... not only Luffy

And Oda delivers yet again! I loved the statue of Usopp on the cover. Chopper controlling Monster point. people doubting Brook is human. The whole chapter simply ruled.
Seems like Sanji and Jimbe will use Wadatsumi to take care of Noah, as Luffy does not seem to be able to break it down.
And while I was wrong in saying that Luffy's red hawk would end Hody, he did go down this chapter, so all's well that ends well I guess...

Seems Luffy will require urgent blood transfusion.

Heh, looks like I was right on the money with my last post:
That last attack from Hody was actually pretty cool, IMO. Too bad it still meant nothing against Luffy, though. Still, after reading the chapter, I'm still convinced that Hody still hasn't gone down yet (he stuffed himself with even MORE steroids right before his shark missile attack..... maybe he'll undergo one last transformation before he's finally taken out once and for all.....
BTW, I think I spotted a translation mistake already: Luffy saying that he's "a million times stronger" than Hody is a lot different from what I saw in aohige's translation of the spoiler script:
In other words, I think it's more accurate to think that he was actually comparing Jones to supernova-level pirates, rather than bragging about being stronger than him. Oh, and Brooke owned this chapter. Just needed to point that out again.
The ministory is also amusing, as well (so even the Skypieans realize Usopp's awesomeness now, do they....? ).
Considering that merman island was a place that had literally over a decade of build-up, I'd have been very surprised if this storyline lasted less than a year (and I certainly didn't see it ending in a mere 10 chapters, as a certain mod seemed to believe back when this arc started...... ).

Falling Ivy Leaves Coat
Added Jun 23, 2013
by pambox
Sydney, Australia
There were two weddings on this weekend, so of course I had to do some sewing! Given that June is winter down here, I thought I should have a coat over the top of my dress (Pleated Fan Dress). The fabric is a crepe, but I'm not sure what it's made of. It was bought at the Fabric Cave (Sydney and surrounds Burdastylers – you must go there) for about $5. It's fairly thin so it drapes beautifully, but it was surprisingly, given the weather, not too cold.
The pattern is the Parisienne Coat from Decades of Style (http://www.decadesofstyle.com/vintage-patterns-1930s/3101-1931-parisienne-coat), and was very easy to make. I only started cutting out the pattern pieces on Thursday night and didn't start sewing until about 8:30pm Friday, but it was finished just in time to go to the first wedding. Still, note to self and others: starting a project so late isn't a good idea. I didn't do the suggested decorative stitching and pleats on the coat because I didn't have time, but also I don't think it needs anything with the print.

All too dangerously close to my house!
It's at 78 Belmore St in Ryde, but park and enter via Porter St. It's in two garages down a driveway.
It's only open Monday & Wednesday unil 2pm, and until 12 on the first Sunday of the month.
It is an absolute treasure trove of joy and wonder.

Thanks! The fabric cave is in Ryde, it's a charity fundraising shop, so you find whatever you find but it's all pretty cheap. http://achieveaustralianews.org.au/tag/fabric-cave/

The print has a vintage look and seems as though it'd keep the wind at bay.

Thanks, yes I saw the fabric and thought it would be a really good match for the fabric. And it did keep me surprisingly warm on a cold and wet day.

The example we looked at last time was the symmetry group of the square. We found that this group could be generated by two elements a, b, satisfying the relations:
a^4 = 1
b^2 = 1
a^3 b = b a
This way of thinking about the group is called a group presentation, and the usual notation would be:
<a,b | a^4=1, b^2=1, a^3 b = b a>
In our Haskell code, we represent this as:
( ['a','b'], [("aaaa",""),("bb",""),("aaab","ba")] )
We saw how to use the Knuth-Bendix algorithm to turn the relations into a confluent rewrite system:
> :load Math.Algebra.Group.StringRewriting
> mapM_ print $ knuthBendix [("aaaa",""),("bb",""),("aaab","ba")]
The rewrite system itself isn't particularly informative. Its importance lies in what it enables us to do. Given any word in the generators, we reduce it as follows: wherever we can find the left hand side of one of rules as a subword, we replace it by the right hand side of the rule. If we keep doing this until there are no more matches, then we end up with a normal form for the element - that is, another word in the generators, which represents the same group element, and is the smallest such word relative to the shortlex ordering. Several things follow from this.
First, the ability to find the shortest word is sometimes useful in itself. If we could do this for the Rubik cube group (taking the six face rotations as generators), then we would be able to code "God's algorithm" to find the shortest solution to any given cube position.
Second, any two words that represent the same group element will reduce to the same normal form. Hence, given any two words in the generators, we can tell whether they represent the same element. This is called "solving the word problem" for the group.
Third, this enables us to list (the normal forms of) all the elements of the group - and hence, among other things, to count them.
Fourth, it enables us to do arithmetic in the group:
- To multiply two elements, represented as words w1, w2, just concatenate them to w1++w2, then reduce using the rewrite system
- The identity element of the group is of course the empty word ""
- But what about inverses?
Strings (lists) under concatenation form a monoid, not a group. So what do we do about inverses?
Well, one possibility is to include them as additional symbols. So, suppose that our generators are a,b. Then we should introduce additional symbols a-1, b-1, and consider words over the four symbols {a,b,a-1,b-1}. (For brevity, it is customary to use the symbols A, B for a-1, b-1.)
If we take this approach, then we will need to add some new rules too. We will need the rules a a-1 = 1, etc. We will probably also need the "inverses" of the relations in our presentation. For example, if we have a^4 = 1, then we should also have a rule (a-1)^4 = 1.
It's going to be a bit of a pain. (And it's probably going to cause Knuth-Bendix to get indigestion, in some cases at least.) Luckily, for finite groups, we don't really need this. In a finite group, each generator must have finite order: in our example a^4 = 1, b^2 = 1. So the inverse of each generator is itself a power of that generator - a-1 = a^3, b-1 = b. So for a finite group - or in fact any group where the generators are all of finite order - then the inverses are already there, expressible as words in the generators.
So for most purposes, we have no need to introduce the inverses as new symbols. For example, if we want to list the elements of a finite group, or tell whether two words in the generators represent the same element, then we are fine. When it will matter is if we are specifically interested in the length of the words. For example, if we want God's algorithm for solving Rubik's cube, we are interested in the length of words in the generators and their inverses - the clockwise and anti-clockwise face rotations.
There is one situation when even this won't matter - and that is if the generators are their own inverses. If we have a generator g such that g^2 = 1, then it follows that g-1 = g. Such an element is called an involution.
Are there groups which can be generated by involutions alone? Yes, there are. Let's have a look at a couple.
Consider the symmetry group of a regular polygon, say a pentagon. Consider the two reflections shown below. 'a' is the reflection in an axis through a vertex, and 'b' is the reflection in an axis through the midpoint of an adjacent edge. Hence the angle between the axes is pi/5 (or for an n-gon, pi/n).
It should be clear that ab is a 1/5 rotation of the pentagon. It follows that a,b generate the symmetry group of the pentagon, with a^2 = b^2 = (ab)^5 =1.
> elts (['a','b'], [("aa",""), ("bb",""), ("ababababab","")])
> length it
Next, consider the symmetric group S4 (or in general, Sn). It can be generated by the transpositions s1 = (1 2), s2 = (2 3), and s3 = (3 4), which correspond to the diagrams below:
Now, multiplication in the group corresponds to concatenation of the diagrams, going down the page. For example:
In fact, each of those diagrams represents the identity element - as you can check by following each point along the lines down the page, and checking that it ends up where it started. Hence each diagram represents a relation for S4. The diagrams show that s1^2 = 1, (s1s2)^3=1, and (s1s3)^2 = 1.
In the general case, it's clear that Sn can be generated by n-1 transpositions si of the form (i i+1), and that they satisfy the following relations:
si^2 = 1
(si sj)^3 = 1 if |i-j| = 1
(si sj)^2 = 1 if |i-j| > 1
Here's some Haskell code to construct these presentations of Sn. (Did I mention that all of the string rewriting code works on arbitrary lists, not just strings?)
newtype S = S Int deriving (Eq,Ord)
instance Show S where
show (S i) = "s" ++ show i
_S n = (gs, r ++ s ++ t) where
gs = map S [1..n-1]
r = [([S i, S i],[]) | i <- [1..n-1]]
s = [(concat $ replicate 3 [S i, S (i+1)],[]) | i <- [1..n-2]]
t = [([S i, S j, S i, S j],[]) | i <- [1..n-1], j <- [i+2..n-1]]
And just to check:
> elts $ _S 4
> length it
Anyway, that's it for now. Where I'm heading with this stuff is finite reflection groups and Coxeter groups, but I might take a couple of detours along the way.

The Boston Globe | Would you spend $14,000 for this bike?
Douglas Belkin writes about how high-end road bike sales, and prices, are through the roof. The most expensive built bikes now are around $14-15,000, but dealers say you'll see a $20,000 road bike soon.
"The first time I saw a $10,000 bike was a few years ago," said Stephen Madden, the editor of Bicycling magazine, which is based in Pennsylvania. "It kind of blew my mind, but now it's really pretty easy to spend $8,000 on a bike. I know that sounds kind of crazy, but there are plenty out there."
Belkin says sales have increased from 145,000 high-end road bikes in 2000 to 498,000 in 2005.
Along those lines, Greg Lemond introduced a new all-carbon fiber frame whose 55-cm examples weigh 950 grams. It's called the Triomphe.

"Hunt or Be Hunted?! Showdown at the O.K. Temple!" (獲るか獲られるか!?オッケー寺の決斗, Eru ka Erareru ka!? Okkē Tera no Kettō) is episode 160 of the original Naruto anime.
Sazanami reveals that he was accused of murdering a family (he was delivering a sword they had ordered) and that the thief that he and Naruto's group is hunting is the main suspect; he wants to capture him to prove his innocence. The four locate the thief in a nearby city, in the process of attempting to steal a valuable bell from a temple. After Sazanami captures the thief, he is also captured himself, but his innocence is revealed. Despite this, Naruto's group fails the mission because they did not capture the thief, but are happy for him.

I love my dehydrator. I want a fruit roll tray for my square dehydrator but I haven't found one. I hope there is a fruit roll tray for this particular dehydrator. Everything else is great! I love it!

The Third...
Aug. 9, 2014
This is the third Nesco dehydrator I've owned in a little over 20 years; the first two are still working perfectly! I bought this model to take advantage of the greater area afforded by the square shape, as it has to fit a specific area in my utility room. It works just as well as my prior two, who have been passed along to friends. I love the plastic construction because it's easier to clean than metal, and I just pop the trays into the dishwasher minus the heat-dry. What's to say about it? It's quiet, it's efficient, it's reliable. And I LOVE that it's made in our country, not China or somewhere unknown for safety. I just ordered two new Nesco dehydrators as gifts, because I know the quality can be trusted.

Absolutely Wonderful!

Bought this dehydrator originally to dry peppers. That was just the beginning of a beautiful relationship. Great on peppers, herbs and have made beef jerky as well. Times do vary. Low noise, and very easy to clean. A really terrific product!

Was great until it just stopped working after about 6 uses :(
June 1, 2014
This dehydrator was fantastic when working. Unfortunately, we've only had it for 3 months and have used it maybe 6 times. Today, after uneventfully using it, it just stopped. Waited, let it sit for a couple hours, plugged it back in...nothing...dead. I'm unfortunately having to send it in under warranty. I would expect this item to last for years. Will try again with the repaired/replaced item and see how long that lasts.

great jerky maker!
May 30, 2014
I bought this jerky dehydrator and make beef jerky for my sons and their friends. Every batch of jerky I make I get excellent reviews. It will take a good three pound roast cut into strips and in about 5-6hours I have some excellent beef jerky. Thank you nesco for a fine machine.

I bought this dehydrator
June 2, 2013
I would give this product a full star rate, except for one problem. It is very inconvenient to handle when you need to change product or clean the product or other wise handle it, as it has only one way of turning off, unplugging. I will not cut the cord as I have seen another write, I don't feel anything but a surge protector with a off switch is the answer. I do believe they could make it much better by adding a off switch.

Absolutely awesome.
Feb. 24, 2013
I have never owned a dehydrator before, and have wasted a lot of food without realizing that I could have dried it. I've also been very, very skeptical about drying food, the way it looks/tastes or nutritional value.
What prompted me to purchase this is the recent recall of all chicken/duck jerky from pet stores. My dog loved them. I bought this hoping to just be able to replace his treats. I just slice up par-frozen chicken or turkey breast--no spices!!!---and viola, beautiful, organic, no hormone no contaminant chicken jerky!
I've now done fruit (blueberries and fresh pineapple) and plan to do fruit roll ups. My husband hunts, so we are planning on using it to make deer jerky too. I have a huge garden and now am not afraid of growing "too much" that we can't eat and have to give away or can (i hate canning). I may even try doing fish.
The unit I got is the square one, and I plan to expand the trays. It's QUIET and FAST. I am so happy with this purchase, even if it was just used for the dog treats. I recommend this product fully.

Best dehydrator over all
Nov. 9, 2012
I've had the FD-80 for almost 2 years & love it! I have expanded to the full 8 racks after the 1st time I used it. I got it as a gift, because I love to make jerky. It comes with a great recipie book which got me doing other foods as well. For the money, extra space & simple use you cant beat it!

Another Winner!
Oct. 6, 2012
I've had Nesco dehydrators for 20+ years, have had great luck with them. I replaced my FD-60 last year with this FD-80. I needed more drying space but was limited on room. My FD-60 which was several years old is still working perfectly for some friends to whom I gave it. This FD-80, expanded to 8 trays, it perfect for me. I know of other brands, some quite expensive, with the slide-in tray concept. I like instead to have expandability and not to be drying dead air space. More than anything, I want durability and reliability. My old 20+ year old Nesco is still working perfectly for a relative. Why swap brands when this one works for me?

Fantastic Product for Gardeners
Sep. 25, 2012
I bought this dehydrator to make healthy dog treats and to save produce from the garden. I have made treats for the dogs from plain sliced sweet potato strips and plain banana slices. My dogs love them.
I have also dehydrated basil, oregano and marjarom to use for the winter months. I have zucchini, green beans, peppers, tomatoes dehydrated to add to soups and stews and am now working on dehydrating slices of apples for snacks and to add to baked goods.
I need to order more trays. The square trays hold quite a bit but I could use a couple more right now.
If you are thinking about ordering one of these, do not hesitate. It is a great unit and super quiet. You don't even know it is running.

My First Dehydrator & First Nesco Product:
Sep. 4, 2012
For years I been wanting a Dehydrator to do Jerky. The few friends of mine have them but always complain, it takes to long for jerky to dry and clean up is a pain. Then a friend told me about Nesco Dehydrators. He recommended the FD-37 Food Dehydrator. I seen the FD-80 Snack master and like the idea of being square so it will hold more and the 700 watts of power. I am so pleased with it's performance and quality of my jerky. I can dehydrator in 4.5 to 6 hours. I like it so much I told a another friend and she went out and picked up the same one. She took her old one and threw it away after she just tried this one only one time. There is no on and off switch which is no big deal, but wish it had a timer. But I still give it a 5 star. Nesco has me for a new customer.

Best dehydrator I have found yet
Aug. 12, 2012
I got the FD-80 during the winter in preperation for the summer growing season. I have to admit, I did get some produce at the grocery store to try it out at first and it worked better than the product description states.
In using it with my fresh garden produce, I have found that this dehydrator produces the best tasting dried food I have ever tasted. Being able to set the temperature is such a wonderful bonus to a great product because it allows you to dry foods and retain color, taste, freshness, and vitamin content. It is easy to use and I expanded my trays to 6 using the add a tray pack. The dehydrator works so well, I have actually cut 6 to 12 hours off of my previous dehydrator's dry time.
I would recommend this product to every person in the world as it makes it possible to conserve food for longer without sacrificing flavor or vitamin content. If you are thinking about getting a dehydrator, buy this one. You will not regret it. I am very picky about my kitchen gadgets and this one is used so much, it has earned a permanent space on my counter. I wouldn't give up my dehydrator for anything... and my friends have asked to borrow it. I gave them the website address and told them to go get their own. Nobody is taking my dehydrator anywhere!

The 5 year ST Loyalty schemeThe very best posts from KUMB over the years ...
Moderator: Gnome
Re: The 5 year ST Loyalty scheme
The old tosh about renew or lose out is wearing thin now zzzzzzzzzzz
Last season we sold 18k,i reckon this year 23k ish,
The dilema being is fork out heaps,or watch Billy Daytrippers get in for the un-attractive matches for reduced tkt prices
Supporting this club as a ST holder is not cheap
Re: The 5 year ST Loyalty scheme
5% here.
£30 saved this year. We stay up which I'm confident we will, thats the minimum saved next year. We won't be moving to Stratford for a good couple of years, so I think it'll be the best bet in the long run.
Re: The 5 year ST Loyalty scheme
Is there no limit to how far Brady will stoop to extract every last penny ??
"Yes, you can have your 20% discount, but only if you renew by phone"
Which I do, only to be told that there's a £1.80 Booking Fee because "you chose to renew by phone, you could have done it online for free".
Re: The 5 year ST Loyalty scheme
There's still a booking fee online for ST renewals £2, which they've not done before.
Re: The 5 year ST Loyalty scheme
Thought I renew now and stuck on hold, are they all on holiday !
Cheaper to send the applications in Special Delivery
Re: The 5 year ST Loyalty scheme
£144 saved. I am happy.
Re: The 5 year ST Loyalty scheme
Off to the Boleyn to renew tomorrow - the kiddo wants to accept the 5% discount as he has worked out that he will be better off financially when he hits the age 16 bracket.
Not a clue where he has sprung that gem from as I normally purchase it anyway
Re: The 5 year ST Loyalty scheme
£481.80 spent today. Deal was offered over the phone.
Re: The 5 year ST Loyalty scheme
The perfect opportunity to let him buy his own.
Re: The 5 year ST Loyalty scheme
You can claim your discount if you renew at the ticket office too.

I`ve claimed the 20% by post over the 4 payments coming to £480 plus £25 admin,a bit skint after spending nearly 3 weeks in Ukraine,Thanks to the Icelandics,well they did get something right eh!
Re: The 5 year ST Loyalty scheme
Not realy what sort of idiot gives away 20% of a big chunk of your ticket revenue to entice people to buy something they would have brought anyway, I doubt that many people would thought " oh if I don't spend £600 this year that I don't realy want/can't afford to spend on a S/T then I won't save £120 on 2/3/4/5 years".
Re: The 5 year ST Loyalty scheme
The sort of idiot that wanted to prevent the club sliding into administration ?
Let me explain .
The club was running out of cash .Without cash it would not have been capable of paying it's bills - player wages etc , and would , at some point, have called in the administrators .The reason it was running out of cash was it had given contracts to players it could not afford without continued and ongoing equity injections from the then shareholders .Unfortunately the money the shareholders at the time were injecting was largely borrowed ( not an issue as far as WHUFC are concerned , until it stops coming) .When the whole pack of cards in Iceland came down they, the shareholders , could no longer borrow any money to give to West Ham .To be clear it wasn't West Ham borrowing the money , it was the people who owned West Ham that were borrowing money .
To prevent the inevitable entering of administration the clubs then CEO struck a deal with a finance company to borrow money ( this is the point at which the club borrowed money) , using the income stream from future season ticket sales as a guarantee - collaterall I think it is called in such circles .
Unfortunately due to the need to cut the payroll - i.e get rid of decent players on fat contracts , and replace them with cheaper ones AKA in some quarters as "The Project" , it was entirely possible that the number of season tickets sold may reduce , and indeed that proved to be the case .ST sales peaked when we were signing Bellamy, Parker, Dyer etc , and fell when we sold them .
So, in an attempt to prop up the inevitable decline in ST sales, and therefore by extension the ability of the club to borrow the cash it needed to stay afloat , it offered the future discount .
It was not the act of a madman , nor was it anything particuarly to do with the Icelandics : it was our CEO desperately trying to stop the club sliding into administration .
And he achieved that with the loyal support oif the fans who have shelled out for the past 5 years to watch on a number of occasions teams packed with players that could best be described as ordinary .
In short , instead of people casting glances at those who are claiming the discount , perhpas they would be better served at asking why the 6000 people who bought a ST 5 years ago that didn't buy one last year have gone .And why .
Re: The 5 year ST Loyalty scheme
Thanks for yet another lecture PP, I know the rationale and in my opinion it was flawed thinking, but I have no problem in fans claiming it, in whatever form, as it was promised and the club now have to honour that promise.
Re: The 5 year ST Loyalty scheme
Grabbed the 20%. Times are hard.
Re: The 5 year ST Loyalty scheme
has anyone actually managed to renew online? Dear God, how can they bombard us with "just click here" and the ****ing thing not work.?!?!?
There's £1300 burning a hole in my pocket...and im apparently 15th in the queue
Re: The 5 year ST Loyalty scheme
I renewed online on saturday with no problems. My bro-in-law had problems with it during the day yesterday but text last night to say it was sorted. Might have been a short term glitch
Re: The 5 year ST Loyalty scheme
You brought it upon yourself .
If that's true why have I had to explain it to you - again ?
Opinions are what we all like to express , so tell me , lecture me if you want, on the other options available to the then CEO , that he had at the time .Tell me how he could have persuaded a finance Company to forward us the cash without there being some form of mechanism in place to encourage ST renewals in the knowledge that star players were to be sold .
Always happy to be educated by my betters ..........
Re: The 5 year ST Loyalty scheme
I took the 5% on offer as over the 4 years i think that might work out better and also because fortunately i am in a position where i do not have the financial constraints and need the 20%. Fair play to anyone who has though.
What i have done though is move seats. Ticket office acknowledged receipt of my renewal and charged me the full price for my band 1 seat. Apparently they then refund the difference between the two seats once they have carried out the transfer. I shall watch my bank statements very closely over the next few days.
Re: The 5 year ST Loyalty scheme
Does anyone have a local number alternative to the '08' number for the ticket office? By the time I've sat in the queue to renew I might be better off just getting the 5% online than calling from Switzerland to claim my 20%
