Sonny Red LP on EBay
One of our favorite EBay sellers, Euclid Records, is selling a beautiful copy of the great Sonny Red LP, Out of the Blue, Blue Note 4032. This LP is in great condition and, as of this writing, the price is $400, with just a few hours to go before it closes. I once had a great, clean copy of this record and, mistakenly traded it and have regretted it since. I've purchased a nice Japanese copy, which sounds fantastic, but is, of course, a poor substitute for the original.

I was going to review Elminage Original for the site but after playing it for a bit, I just couldn't take any more.
The game itself seems like a decent enough old-school dungeon crawler, but there are a few major problems that preventing me from enjoying it.
The translation is atrocious. It feels like they did a rough draft over about 80% of the game, didn't bother to edit it, and then used machine translation to cover the rest. It'll start sentences in the middle of words from the previous sentence. In the same menu, some of the choices will be capitalized, some will have periods, and some will not. Seriously, I can't remember the last time I've seen a translation this bad; maybe the 8-bit era?
Menus & controls are clunky & unintuitive. To talk to stuff in dungeons, you press the Triangle button (what game does that?!). Items & even gold is distributed on a character basis so there's lot of transferring stuff between characters before you can use it.
Very little in the way of tutorials or guidance. For example, there are several classes and races to choose from and the only way to figure out what they do and their strengths & weaknesses is through trial and error.
It's REALLY old school. Items all need to be appraised, LVs can only be gained at the inn, D&D style AC, etc.
If it wasn't for the translation, then I could see fighting past the interface issues if you really like really old-school RPGs with lots of classes & equipment, but this kind of release is completely unacceptable. I've played games with problematic translations before, but a translation this bad almost makes the game unplayable and certainly makes it unenjoyable. Do not buy Elminage Original! If you want a dungeon crawler RPG on your PSP, Unchained Blades is rather good & Class of Heroes 2 looks promising (should be out early this year). And if you've got a DS or 3DS, you've got other good options like the Etrian Odyssey series & Shin Megami series.
4 Responses to "Do Not Buy Elminage Original"
The game is patched now, and the translation, races, and other things are fixed. Much better.
While I can completely sympathise and understand to a large extent your complaints, I don't know that I would go so far as to outright recommend people avoid it. While it's true that they did a piss-poor job translating the game, the controls are indeed somewhat clunky, and overall the game does little to no hand holding at the start – underneath lies a pretty solid Wizardry style game.
After spending about 30 hours with it so far, I honestly have had a blast with it and I easily have another 30 to go before completing it. The translation is sadly at it's worst during character creation and the early part of the game, where you NEED it to be good.. in fact they even got several of the races wrong so that when you are making characters and selecting races, you are in fact not selecting the race you thought you were.
A quick trip to the boards on Gamefaqs helped me to easily get around this and at this point in the game I have a kickass party that is beheading giants, finding awesome loot, and I even unlocked a new character class by finding and returning the body parts of an animated life size doll to the original owner…
The game has lots of really original (if uninspired) encounters like that, and I can honestly say that I would have been sad to have missed out on this game, which I almost did after seeing what a shit job they did with the translation.
Like I said though, this really only affects you in the beginning, you do get used to the controls after a while, and I honestly feel that the adventure is solid and fun. You just have to make the decision to get past the bad bits and begin seeing the good bits. Just my opinion of course. I am a fan of these kinds of games, and of Zeboyd games of course!
Let's hope that if UFO does decide to bring the others in the Elminage series over that they spend the effort to get the translation done RIGHT. It would be really, really sad if they killed the chances of that from botching the translation so badly.
Unchained Blades it is then. Just got a PSP a week ago, since I am probably never going to be inclined to get a Vita, and I have some cash on the psn store. Just need a cheaper memory card……
I made the mistake of getting it before reading this. It is very cryptic indeed when it comes to it's systems, especially with how age affects your characters.
The translation is pretty bad too, ah well. Good thing I've got Strange Journey and Unchained Blades to scratch that particular gaming itch.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

text: So I've actually been having HUGE, HUGE, HUGE problems with changing my embouchure. My private teacher told me that I should try changing my embouchure so that I play on the higher red of my upper lip, and that it'll also help with some range issues I have. Right now I can hit a High D, the first D above the staff on a daily basis and I can barely push that up to an E. I've been stuck with the same exact range almost for 5 months now and I really want to make an improvement, and thought one way I can help push that is if I change my embouchure. I play slightly off-center towards the left side and my teacher says I play on the lower red of the upper lip. I made the Lead Trumpet spot in my High School Jazz Band and Wind Ensemble after Band auditions a few months ago, and I think now I should start really making improvements on my embouchure so I can play more efficiently but also have much better range and endurance. I know changing embouchure is one of the hardest things and I'm having huge problems, and I honestly feel lost on what to do. I know for a time I won't be able to play as well as I usually do, but in time I'll be even better than I am now, so I think I should push myself to make that change happen. What should I do to help improve my embouchure as quickly and effectively as I can?

One of my good friends and past housemates in San Francisco, Ashanya Indralingam, happens to be Malaysian. When I told her I was going to spend some time in Thailand, she insisted I visited her parents in Kuala Lumpur. I was skeptical going to hang out with two "old people" I'd never met before, but it turns out that side trip was one of highlights during my two months in Asia.
Asha's parents Ronni and Indra were fantastic hosts and gave me a really local experience of the city. I tagged along to a high society party they attended on Saturday night, where I met the rich and powerful of Kuala Lumpur and danced 80's music with them. But I digress in this post's subject… Ronnie and Indra mentioned in passing of an ashram down the street from their house. Although they do not attend there, they said it would probably be ok to stop by. From various books I've read about Hinduism, I was very curious to actually experience an ashram, though I had no idea what to expect.
The ashram was a gated compound that is easy to miss amid a regular neighborhood in the suburbs on Kuala Lumpur. A service was apparently just ended when I wandered in around noon on a Sunday. Turns out they have hours similar to Protestant churches.
Despite being the only westerner there the entire day, no one was particularly fazed by my presence. I received some smiles of acknowledgment and greetings, so I cautiously walked into the main room. There in the middle of the room was a holy dude meditating.
The room was empty except for me and him. I starred at him, waiting for him to acknowledge me. It seemed like his eyes were following me as I cautiously walked across the other side of the room. His eyes were just barely open, where you couldn't tell if he was meditating or not. I was convinced for at least an hour that this guy was real, until someone later mentioned he was just a wax model of the founder of the Hare Krishna movement, A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada.
I went back outside and was offered to join them in their Sunday lunch. I had some amazing Indian food and talked to various followers. I was surprised everyone spoke good English. Until that point I had never heard of the "International Society for Krishna Consciousness" but it was really cool to hear their stories about how they try to "dedicate their thoughts and actions towards pleasing the Supreme Lord, Krishna." Everyone was super friendly.
Most people were going home so I went back inside to try meditating on my own. My only experience with meditation has been Buddhist, where for beginners it is suggested you sit in a straight up posture, eyes open, and focus on deep steady breathing. As it was explained to me, the Hare Krishnas meditate by chanting/singing the Hare Krishna mantra:
Hare Krishna Hare Krishna
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
Hare Rama Hare Rama
Rama Rama Hare Hare
I wasn't sure about the matra deal, so didn't try it myself. While sitting there, an old man in an orange guru-like robe sat down and began asking me about my life journey and beliefs. Janananda Gosvami was very knowledgable about the world's religions, very grounded in agnostic western society, and was an all around friendly guy. He cracked some jokes but also asked serious, deep questions. I learned a lot from him about Hinduism, and he recommended I read their main book of teachings.
It turns out, Janananda is one of the world leaders of the ISKCon Krishna movement! As he was talking to me one of his assistants informed him it was time for him to go to the airport. He thanked the guy and continued talking to me for another 20 minutes! Finally, his assistant returned and insisted it was time for him to go. Janananda gave me his email address and wished me luck.
As the afternoon wore on, I sat and read the book recommended to me – the Bhagavad Gita. Its essentially their Bible, originating from sometime around the 2nd century BC. Another, much younger ISKCon follower joined me and starting retelling the many past stories of Hinduism. He was fully of energy and excitement as he told the tales; his eyes widened in enthusiasm and he never stopped smiling. I was starting to somewhat understand the history and duality of Krishna and the miracles performed by him while on earth in human form. I was surprised at the many parallels of their monotheistic interpretation of Hinduism with the Christian views I was brought up with.
Finally, it was evening and I realized I'd been at the ashram for over 5 hours without checking in with my hosts I was staying with. Right as I was saying my good byes Asha's Dad arrived, looking for me. They had started to get worried me about me, it was so kind of them.
Despite having no plans on becoming Hindu, I'm extremely fascinated by their beliefs, outward happiness, and kind hearts. I have since read some criticisms about some "cult-like" aspects of the movement, and it is surprising to note that it started in New York and is now headquartered in LA. They have ashrams around the world but have made great inroads into western culture, for instance being mentioned in several Beatles songs back in the 70s.
Still, cult fears aside, I really enjoyed my experience at a Malaysian ashram for a day.

What you should do if you suspect your lover is cheating and you have overwhelming evidence that they are cheating, but yet they continue to lie and deny that they are being unfaithful. How to know if your relationship is really salvageable, if it's realistic to believe that they will change or if you need to leave the relationship and find someone else.
In this video coaching newsletter, I discuss an email from a female viewer who has been seeing a guy for about five months. After two months of dating, she started noticing some read flags that point to dishonesty and infidelity. He often comes to see her with glitter on his face, in his hair, in his bed and often has the scent of other women on him. She never wears glitter, so it's obviously not coming from her. He guards his phone with his life and never leaves it lying around. Every time she has confronted him with her suspicions, he blows up and goes into a furious rage of denial. She asks my opinion on what she can do to get him to communicate, admit his infidelity and fix their relationship so she can trust him.
Hi Corey,
I stumbled onto some of your videos on YouTube here a couple days ago, and I appreciate the candidness and frankness. I know I've only heard you coaching men, but I am wondering if you would go out on a limb to give me your opinion on my situation. I'm really upset and torn and heart broken. (I bet deep down you already know what you should do, but you don't want to admit it.)
I've been seeing someone for almost 5 months, and within about 2 months, I started noticing red flags that would point to dishonesty and infidelity. (When you notice those kinds of things with your partner, you can keep them around for sex, but you shouldn't keep them around for a relationship. Don't settle, or you will make yourself miserable in the process.) Whenever I've brought these suspicions up to him, he explodes and becomes defensive. I know guilty behavior and the body cues, and let me tell you, his body language is telling a different take than what his mouth is. (That tells you all you need to know.)
It's not all hearsay though. I've seen him with glitter on his face and in his beard on several occasions, and I am not a glitter wearing person. He guards his phone with his life, and he doesn't even keep it in the house at night anymore. (That's pretty guilty behavior.) He locks it in his truck overnight, or hides it somewhere in the apartment. One time I did see a message, however, from a phone number at 5 am asking him if he was still up this late, and it had texted an address to him. (There is nothing wrong with having multiple partners, but you need to be honest about it.) I never brought it up to him though because that was my proof I needed from him. Oh, and the one time I came home and smelled another person's products on our bed, his pillow specifically, and I saw there was glitter on his pillow. I could continue with all the little things that keep adding up, but I'll stop there.
It comes down to this, I'm willing to walk away from it and not look back. I know that this person is a good person, and I am still willing to try to work towards establishing a healthy relationship, but I simply cannot do that if he's not willing to get honest about the dishonesty and the cheating. (If he was a strong man, he would be honest with you. This guy is a weak bitch. You cannot have a healthy relationship with someone who's lying, devious and a bad communicator, and it's not your job to fix him. If you project your fantasy onto someone, you will fall in love with their potential instead of seeing them for who they really are.) I know what I am willing to give to the relationship and commit to the relationship. I feel like a crazy person because I keep beating my head up against the same roadblock, and I still haven't found a guy who is willing to commit to the same things. (Keep looking. As long as you stay in a relationship with someone like this, you won't get what you want.) What am I doing wrong that I can't communicate to him? (You're not seeing the situation for what it is. Don't assume things will get better. He's getting in the way of you meeting the guy you really want.) And as I write my email to you, it becomes clearer in my mind what I need to do. I'm not a doormat. I'm just so sick of dealing with baby boy guys. (It doesn't serve you to stick around.)
Do you have a dose of reality check you can offer? I'm not a bad person. I'm actually a great person, and people have asked me why I'm still single. (Because you continue to put up with this shit.) Is this relationship salvageable, or I am I being outer limits? What would you do? (You want somebody who places a high value on being loyal and communicating like an adult. This guy is not relationship material.)
Thanks for any help you can offer.

"When it comes to interacting with other people, you should learn to trust your gut, feelings and intuition. We often tend to bullshit ourselves when we see and hear things that are not to our liking, by convincing ourselves to not believe in what we see, hear, feel, smell and are observing in our world. We also tend to have a hard time admitting our mistakes, shortcomings, flaws or that what we are doing, whom we are involved with or how we are living our lives, no longer serves us. Sometimes believing and seeing are both wrong. Life is too short to spend it doing things that don't make you happy or to spend it with people who are not adding value to your life." ~ Coach Corey Wayne

Hi, I'm Dave. I am new here and need some help...
5 Attachment(s)
Hi, I am Dave. I am 47 and I live in Eastern, PA. I have been riding almost two years and I am very much into riding as a lifestyle, my outlet, my passion, my freedom! I had posted an ad on Craigslist and got a reply to it directing me here - here is why:
I bought the bike of my dreams in April 2013 and sadly, she is gone :cry:... Stolen, that is :notamused:
I know where, when, why, how and even who - but I can't prove a thing. I am quite sure it has been relocated to Lancaster, PA - or somewhere in the area. Likely being kept in the dark and being neglected. BUT, I am hopeful that they may bring her to a shop to try to trade or sell, or maybe to be serviced. Please keep an eye out and email me directly at ItzMeDave1(at)aol.com if you think you may have seen it. I just want my bike back... I am sure you can relate. Lots of details below...

Prophecy by Ellen Oh
When it comes to the book "Prophecy" I admit to be a bit biased. I bought the book solely on my following and love for author Ellen Oh. I think authors of color are at times afraid to speak up about the racism in publishing, and don't want to stick out. On many occasions, I've gotten the chance to read her articles and really felt for what she was writing on the page. I felt as if I could connect that much with her just reading her articles, why not take a chance on her books. It was a double edged sword, as I would've still liked her even if I didn't like the book, but I was somehow praying I would. Well my prayers were answered!
Prophecy centered around a girl who's ostracized. Not only because she has gold eyes, super human strength/speed and the ability to kill demons(a talent that earned her nickname "demon slayer") but because she's a woman. And being a warrior and a woman aren't generally spoken in the same sentence.
What Im about to say, I may not say for a long time. It's not a secret I am a huge Legend of Korra/Avatar: Last Airbender fan. Since it's release, since many tv shows and movies don't satisfy my long waits between re-watching or waiting on new episodes, I've been on the lookout for books with similar themes. Mostly I've been disappointed. It's difficult to find a magic similar to LOK or TLAB,some do nothing but highlight elements without culture, some have small elements of unique culture outside of European groups, but loose a part of the elemental magic side. Prophecy has been the only book I've read since the end of TLAB and the start of LOK that I felt could see that series.
I liked that the first book is short. It keeps the pacing at a good speed, and doesn't spend too much time dumping info back and forth. Im still not 100% sure about the consistency, due to length, as some of my questions have gone unanswered, so I must wait for it's sequel, and hopefully that will put some of my questions to rest. The world-building? Too good to be true. The author must live there in a secret universe, where she only comes to Earth to sell us her books and take Earthling currency. It's set in what I believe is a fictional ancient Korea. I saw some elements of other cultures(Japanese? a little Chinese? maybe more) but for someone who isn't very educated on Korean culture and myths before K-Pop and Bi-Rain, looking up the creatures and the like lead me straight to mythical creatures in Korean myth. That was pretty cool. It's not predictable yet. I think there's one element mostly everyone will figure out, just because of what the book is about, but there are twists and turns in many places.
Kira, the main character was easy to relate to, but mainly because I relate strongly to girls and women in books who don't need men to save them. It's definitely nice to have someone you can count on, romantic or not. But I related to Kira more due to her strength. One can say her ostracization can be compared to how many women, especially of color, feel when compared to men or white women. Were often not seen as the same type of human, because we don't fit a default of what a "person" and a "woman" should be. I related to her in more ways than I cant write in this little review. I think the book is definitely much different than mainstream fantasy fiction. Especially ones involving cultures that come from the continent of Asia. Being American, it also seems as though ethnic groups fall into a default of mostly "Chinese" culture, with "Japanese" being a close second. Korea has such rich culture, myth and folklore, long before it became South and North Korea. Im ashamed to admit I don't know much about Korea before splitting.
The book has plenty of conflict, seeing how Kira is hated or feared by many. Even members of her own family. Being a woman shouldn't hold her back, but even her cousin Prince Taejo, one of her closest friends, and the boy she's watched over since he was two, has doubt that Kira can be the one of prophecy since she is female. And this is not to insult, it is just the way of things. A lot of the major conflict is that the land was once ruled by "The Dragon King" but since his death, his children couldn't decide who were best to rule, so they split into seven kingdoms. So essentially every King in each kingdom are related and heir to the Dragon King legacy. They're being killed, and it's setting the prophecy in motion faster, and it's hard not to put down the book to stop to find out why. The backstory is good, at times it goes into it and doesn't give enough though. Next book will probably be different!
I dont find anything overtly wrong with the dialogue. Most people in the book are men or people of power. No one talks a "certain" way. It meets an industry standard as well, I have no complaints with editing. The POV is very clear as well, hard to miss it. I found that the balance between beats and dialogue worked for me as well.
As far as diversity, or multiculturalism, outside of the goddesses we meet later in the book, Im assuming everyone is Korean or at least Asian. And even the goddesses could bare perhaps, Korean features despite their skin,hair and eye colors. To be honest, I really liked this. In the US, people of Asian descent tend to be the invisible minority. I have no Asian ancestry, but I relate well with Asian characters. Being Afro-Cuban American, I often feel invisible. Perhaps I have a bias? But I found most characters to be believable and well written. As far as research, I see what's research and what's given to widen the spectrum of the term fantasy. I think it's ok to tweak culture a little bit for the sake of fantasy, to make it work with a story, and I recognized that and thought it was cool. It didn't seem forced at all either. Since I pictured everyone Asian, Korean to be more accurate, it was refreshing to see that Kira's possible love interest was a hunky Asian man. When she described him as perfect looking, instantly Bi-Rain popped into my head! Asian men get such a bad rap, it was nice to see that an Asian man was being empowered for once.
I think that the cover fits, but I would've loved to see an Asian girl on the cover. The ruby represents something important in the book, but it's a rather plain cover. The title is to the point, plain but gets the job done. Character names I have very little experience deciphering common and uncommon names in Korean culture. I liked them, definitely wont take off for it, I just don't know if they're common names of not. Character descriptions? Kira herself outside of the unique points of her features I had a hard time picturing her. She reminded me of Korra from Legend of Korra, so I kept picturing her with gold eyes. Korra doesn't favor any Korean features that I know of, so I think I would've liked a better description. Her brothers were also described as dark skinned, but Im guessing maybe this means dark to an different standard? I hear dark I think Black. Im kind of wired to. And Im more than positive they weren't Black, so maybe a different choice of colors would've soothed my ease.
Overall, if anyone is a Legend of Korra or Avatar Last Airbender fan, this is one of the few books that incorporate culture so delicately with culture from a marginalized group. Sequel's already pre-ordered. Cant wait!
Who I saw as my favorite characters:
Arden Cho as Kira
Bi-Rain(Ji-Hoon Jeong aka my boo) as Jaewon

This Report contains the results of the Performance Audit on the 'Credit Risk Management in IFCI Limited'. The primary business of IFCI Limited is to provide financial assistance to the manufacturing, services and infrastructure sectors.
Performance Audit was taken up due to existence of high level of Non Performing Assets (NPAs) of Rs. 3544.54 crore as on 31 March 2016corresponding to 13.05 per cent of total outstanding loans. Audit covered a period of four years i.e. from 2012-13 to 2015-16 in respect of loans sanctioned and disbursed. However, for examination of NPAs, loans sanctioned from 2008-09 onwards were covered.
Audit revealed that IFCI did not observe highest standards of due diligence in credit appraisal while sanctioning, disbursing and monitoring some of loan accounts. It did not adhere to its own General Lending Policy in several instances and relaxed various stipulated eligibility criteria laid down for borrowers. Lack of due diligence in verification of titles of immovable properties taken as securities resulted in failure in enforcement of these securities. Audit also observed that valuation of securities accepted during sanction was not in consonance with the methodology laid down in General Lending Policy. Even after occurrence of defaults and loans turning into NPA there was delay in enforcement of security.
Audit also observed violation of guidelines of Reserve Bank of India on provisioning, restructuring and sanction of loan to borrowers in wilful defaulter's list of RBI/CIBIL.
Audit also found inappropriate credit appraisal/analysis of financials of the company and buyback entity and unsatisfactory loan history or indebtedness of the borrower in some instances of equity investment in other companies. In most of the cases there was default in buyback, exit options were restricted and multiple lending within the group companies was done with weak post sanction monitoring.

To borrow some media-speak, the transfer window slammed shut last week. How we've enjoyed it. From almost the start to the finish most of us have been nodding approval at Rafa's manoeuvrings but on Wednesday night the nods had become loud guffaws of laughter as Tottenham (and really, who else?) were relieved of £30m for the services of one Moussa Sissoko. Now, I'm not going to attempt to re-write history or any of that malarkey. Last season Sissoko was our best player. That's hardly a great honour given we ended up relegated but on occasions, our support was on its feet, anticipating something as the Frenchman saw a spot of open grass with the ball pushed in front of him and attacked it. I've been excited on occasions by Sissoko, looked to him to provide our main attacking threat and at times he has delivered.
I've also often considered that Sissoko is exactly the kind of player Benitez would have in his team – strong, fast, athletic, powerful and just the player he could get another 20% from, add to technically and here's the thing, help achieve more consistency. I've also thought about Sissoko and indeed Janmaat and Wiljandum that with better players around them they would achieve more and their qualities would be allowed to breathe within a more balanced team. Let's be honest here, having rubbish central defenders, no left-back or a striker with the cumulative impact of Pardew-Carver-McClaren coaching them isn't going to help anyone reach their potential.
The flip-side of all of that however is I didn't notice Wiljandum, Janmaat or indeed Sissoko help lesser players look better than they were. Indeed quite the contrary to be honest.
But United proved you sow what you reap. Pre-Rafa our club's strategy had been to bring in promising but unproven players from the lesser leagues of France, Holland and Belgium, give them a polish and put them in the shop window hopefully to make a profit. On occasion that has worked but it has also led to an atmosphere around United which meant supporters felt conned and players felt no connection to the club because they had been sold Newcastle United as a shop-window. Thus any criticisms of a lack of leadership, strength of character etc. completely missed the point. United had been sold to them on very individual terms i.e. what the club could do for them and help them achieve rather than what they could do to help Newcastle United achieve. The ambitions of the individual subsuming the aspirations of the collective.
United got it's just desserts and at long last Mike Ashley woke up. Rafa Benitez gave our loathed "owner" his overdue epiphany. I hope.
So now, Rafael Benitez is the most important man at Newcastle United and progress has been instant. He has achieved what he wanted to do. United has been fumigated of those who had proven they were unable or unwilling to commit to our club. Only Townsend is one we would have liked to have stayed I think. I believe within the next 18 months Andros will rue leaving the tuition of Rafa Benitez for the service of Alan Pardew and his severe coaching limitations.
Our squad already looks far more balanced than it was last season. It already looks like it has more character and
commitment and we can see leaders emerging. Do we have better players than we had last season? That's debatable. Do we have a better squad and team? There is no question that we do and I'd speculate the pool of players currently at our disposal would have stayed in the Premier League with something to spare last season.
Despite relegation, the support is happier, more optimistic and content. Last week Rafa had the Geordie Nation swooning with these words:
"We are only interested in bringing players to Newcastle who want to work hard for the club and the team, not players who want to be at another club maybe next year or the year after. We are not a stepping stone, we are Newcastle United. Every player should be honoured to wear the shirt of this club. They should feel the same passion that the fans feel."
Rafa Benitez gets it, understands what our club must mean and I don't believe he would be here if he felt anything different. Benitez has too much self-respect, too much faith in his own ability and ambition to pimp himself out as a pseudo manager like Pardew or McClaren in the charade of a football club Newcastle United had become in their time here at the behest of Ashley. Rafa Benitez is the real deal and barring Mike Ashley going mental again, so by association is Newcastle United FC.
There is a real sense of purpose emerging around the club. Good things are happening. The whole Gallowgate Flags
initiative is rightly from the grassroots but has pushed at an open door with club officials and people at United who viewed worky-tickets like me and others with distaste are now engaging and friendly. This is the Rafalution I can assure you. The club no longer feels under siege and it's to be hoped that continues. United has to do more and only a few months of goodwill won't completely undo years of antagonism, belligerence and arrogance. The club seems to have shown it wants to move in the right direction but now it has to make those moves and continue to do so. Be open and be confident in itself.
I'm not wholly convinced Mike Ashley is a Prince amongst men all of a sudden and I do live in fear of him reverting to type but Benitez's presence at United is a massive reassurance things can move in the right direction. This man doesn't need us as much as we need him.
On the park, Rafa's team has recorded four wins on the spin and there is the emergence of a feel-good vibe. These are early days but I lapped up the Brighton game (though the refereeing was abysmal) and how we dealt with the challenges Hughton's lads presented the team with – the foul play and play-acting. We managed the game really well and that bodes well for the season ahead. I'd love us to go on an extended winning run (big surprise there eh?) because the confidence would come surging through the team and that would have a major impact upon the crowd at SJP – which at times can be overly anxious and fretful – we all need to stop that mass sighing at a misplaced pass and I'll repeat my mantra – players need our support just after they have made a mistake than at any other time.
The feeling is good, the manager, the players and the support seem to be as one and it all has to be maintained. Everyone has a responsibility to do the right things for Newcastle United – that includes Lee Charnley and the radgies in The Corner getting the singing going.
As I finish off writing all of this I'm helping pull together the next issue of true faith. The current SUMMER SPECIAL
(TF126) has been the most widely read issue of the fanzine we have ever published. That means it is the most widely read fanzine Newcastle United supporters have also ever published and I'm confident enough to say your fanzine is the most widely read independent, fans'-led publication in the UK. I'm as sentimental as anyone for the days of standing outside SJP flogging the fanzine but the truth is the world has moved on, social habits have changed and what we are doing now is a million times more popular than anything ever done before. It's also cheaper and far more accessible.
The next issue of the fanzine has been a pleasure to edit and to be honest it's something of a relief not to be wading through swamps of bile and bitterness (and drafting a fair bit of it myself to be honest) but reading fellow supporters' optimism and analysis. As ever the vast majority of true faith is all about Newcastle United but we think our audience likes to go off topic occasionally and we'll have plenty material which is a bit different too. There is still a wee bit of time to get in touch and get something drafted for the next issue and you can do that by dropping yours truly on email@example.com
Anyway, we've got a relatively quiet week. We've got players to return from international duty who will be training with team-mates for the first time and then we'll be heading for Derby County and a tea-time KO. Derby are one of those clubs who carry some gravitas for those of us a certain vintage and their supporters, players and directors believe they are worthy of a place in the top division. Like Fulham and Bristol I don't doubt Pride Park will be a sell-out and somewhat inevitably our allocation of tickets has been sold out for weeks. It will be a tough assignment but we can go there and win.
Good luck to Rafa and his team.
Have a great week.
Keep On, Keepin' On …
You can access the latest issue of true faith (TF126) by just clicking on the image as below. It is available on any device (we recommend i-pads or tablets though lots you read it on mobile phones, lap-tops and PCs without any complaints at all). It is also absolutely and completely FREE. This issue of the fanzine is the most widely read issue of any fanzine Newcastle United supporters have ever produced. true faith is the most widely read independent, fans'-led publication in the United Kingdom. It is read by supporters near and far. We all enjoyed putting it together and we hop e you enjoy reading it.

If the club are promoted first time will Benitez have the same authority he appears to have at the moment.?. After all the crisis will have passed and I wouldn't trust Ashley as far as I could throw him. The riches of the Premiership will bring a gleam to Ashley's eyes and he may feel confident enough to reassert his authority – after all he is still the owner – and is not known to be second fiddle to 'underlings'. Look at the way previous managers and others have been treated under his reign. My father used to say Leopards never change their spots – he was actually referring to the Tory party – but there is something in it.
If Ashley is aware of the way many fans are carrying on as if Benitez is as good as the owner and can do what he likes I wonder. A pean of despair?. I certainly hope not but I have a very deep wariness concerning Ashley. He may be down at the moment with Sports Direct under increasing attack but things change. And he is known to be vindictive.
Yes it is a case of be wary with Ashley, As Michael says not wholly convinced Mike Ashley is a Prince amongst men all of a sudden , however I cannot see him reverting to type once we get back in the premiership with it riches and all it entails, the fact that the call went to Rafa, shows some contrition , lets see whats happens in nine months
I sincerely hope you are right.
Do so I. Suppose it just has to be a case of do everything this year to get back up and then cross. That bridge if and when we come to it.
Yes, I agree we are right to be cautious,but it it is good to have someone at the club who has the interests of the club (and therefore us) at the centre. It is also going to be interesting to see what ambition Ashley shows if we do come back up as I cannot see Rafa accepting just staying in the Premiership. Anyway, that is for the future, but Rafa's presence means at least we can have some pride in our club again.
I thought Townsend did more in half a season than Sissoko did the whole of last year to be honest. Surely Spurs would have looked at his stats or maybe even watched of few of the games he played before dusting an absolute fortune on him. It's not hard to see that beyond running with the ball he was the most cowardly big man we've had in years. I realise it's not everything but his stats are horrific. The club extorted the maximum possible and I don't think we could have asked for anymore from them this window, it's been an incredible transformation. I don't see why they would stop Rafa doing his thing so long as the club's revenues covered it's costs. There must be something in his contract that gives him autonomy, but it's understandable why we would be apprehensive when we're talking about Ashley here. I think Ashley may be happy to let Rafa get on with it though, how could anyone not trust him to deliver success?!
Hopefully he will smell the success if and when it happens and it would be brave (not in a good way) to change things. Presumably Rafa has conditions in his contract to run the football side and he would have a good case for constructive dismissal if Ashley tried to change it. Ashley won't want to spend that. We are looking too far ahead based on Ashley being a "leopard". Let's just enjoy enjoy the current ride. Que sera, sera.

OH BOY! Look who put on his Michael Jackson costume at Michael Jackson's memorial today at the Staples Center: COREY FREAKING FELDMAN, guys!
Corey Feldman showed up at Michael Jackson's public memorial Tuesday at L.A.'s Staples Center dressed as the King of Pop.
He arrived at 10:19 a.m. dressed as the singer from his Dangerous era - wearing all black, a military-style jacket, a black fedora and sunglasses. He also had strands of his hair hanging in front of his face - a 'do Jackson famously sported.
Feldman used a Kleenex to wipe tears from under his sunglasses.
But here's my favorite line from this story…
John Mayer gave him a puzzled look.
This time? I'm with you, John.

One year ago, the Archives of Public Health took a new start and became an electronic journal. We were successful in publishing four issues, each with three peer-reviewed articles, with editorials, book reviews and executive summaries of PhD dissertations.
The topic of the papers covered a variety of public health issues. There were papers on public health nutrition [1,2], on mental health [3,4], on tobacco smoking [5,6], on occupational health [7], patient rights [8], divorce and health [9], primary care [10], health services research [11] and cancer screening [12]. The editor's favourite was the latter. Within this paper the results of four systematic reviews on respectively colorectal, breast, prostate, and cervical cancer screening are discussed in relation to the European guidelines and strategies for Belgium.
In the current issue, the Archives of Public Health continues to present the richness of the diversity of public health research with papers on cognitive impairment screening in general practice [13], depression [14] and health care access for asylum seekers [15]. A public health topic which was not present in last year's volume and which cannot be found among recently submitted papers either is infectious diseases. This is somewhat unexpected given the very interesting congress on infectious disease and public health organised by the Belgian Association of Public Health in December 2008. During this congress, several outstanding papers on statistical methods in infectious disease surveillance and control were presented. The journal especially welcomes papers related to infectious disease surveillance.
In the last editorial of 2008, the development of epidemiology and its relationship to the level of academic education and field training was discussed [16]. In Belgium, we still have a long way to go to match up with the other EU countries. This is also reflected in the position of Belgium as to the number of scientific publications and citations. In the SCImago Journal and Country Ranking (http://www.scimagojr.com), which compares EU countries for the period 1996-2007, Belgium only ranked 11th in the field of public health, environmental and occupational Health and 12th in the field of epidemiology. For epidemiology, the Belgian production level is only 20% compared to the Netherlands, France, Italy, Sweden.
These observations make us wonder: why is Belgium lagging behind? Is it related to the academic education and the virtual non-existence of advanced training in public health? Is it caused by a lack of attractive research careers for young people? Is the investment in public health science too low and too little? Are the funding mechanisms too archaic? Or has it just something to do with the publication culture that is driving public health researchers and public health departments?
Is public health research and epidemiology doing worse compared to other domains or is the Belgian position similar for all scientific domains? Within the health sector we observe for the same period that medicine in general is ranked at number 10, internal medicine at 11 and clinical genetics at 13. Some examples outside the health sectors are: mathematics at number 8, physics at 9 and social sciences at 10. In general, Belgium is never among the top 5 countries.
However, even if the problem is not limited to public health, it is time that the public health community reacts. Universities, research institutes, funding agencies, governments and especially researchers themselves have to define what contributions they can make to remedy the current situation. The Belgian Association of Public Health should also be challenged by these figures and take this up as an urgent issue to be tackled.

In a petition submitted Sunday to the Jerusalem Administrative Court, two human rights organizations requested the District Committee for Planning and Building cease treating the unauthorized "Jerusalem 2000 Outline Plan" as a ratified legal document.In the petition, the Association for Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI) and Bimkom (Planners for Planning Rights) argue that the controversial outline plan – which was never passed into law, and severely restricts construction by Palestinians in east Jerusalem – is illegally being enforced.

Why coroner's romance is dead
Fans of BBC One drama The Coroner love the will-they-or-won't-they chemistry between Claire Goose and Matt Bardock's crime-solving characters. But, the pair tell Jeananne Craig why the former flames can never, ever get back together.
Filming on location is notoriously disruptive, but residents of South Devon couldn't have been happier to see the cast and crew of BBC drama The Coroner return to make series two earlier this year. "Shooting does bring quite a lot of chaos, with vans and trucks and places you can't walk, so although it can be quite fun, it can be quite intrusive to people's lives," says Claire Goose, who plays Jane Kennedy, a coroner in the coastal community of Lighthaven, who's returned to work in her hometown after a failed relationship.
"It was a relief that they were all really pleased to see us."
And no wonder. Traffic to the Visit South Devon website was up by 44% when the beautifully shot first series debuted in 2015, and the next instalment promises to be just as picturesque, with scenes filmed in Dartmouth, Dartmoor, Torquay and Salcombe.
Despite the beautiful backdrops and daytime slot, there's plenty of grit to this investigative crime drama.
The second series sees Jane once again joining forces with her former childhood sweetheart Detective Sergeant Davey Higgins (Matt Bardock), this time to investigate a lethal skydiving accident, a killer big cat on the moors and the discovery of a baby's remains, among other sudden or unexplained deaths.
Davey might be married to someone else, but they've never quite got over each other, and while the chemistry between them is palpable, romance is unlikely to be rekindled. "We know the moment they get together, we'll lose interest in them," admits show creator Sally Abbott, who has previously written for EastEnders and Holby City.
"If we got together, one of us would have to go off a cliff," says Bardock, who, like Goose, has also worked on The Bill and Casualty (though at different times).
"You have to drip-feed it, so you're in control of that relationship. Because it can run away and you've got nowhere to go."
This series, viewers will get more of an insight into the pair's relationship, and find out why it ended.
"It's very different to what Jane thought happened, so there are these vulnerable moments between them and very sad moments where it's a case of, 'What if they'd known at the time? If they'd just been honest about it and spoken about it, what could have been'?'" says Goose, who was raised in Norfolk.
"You learn that they were quite naughty and quite playful when they were in their teens. They would go and break into things and smoke a joint.
"You see flickers of that, they sort of bring out that childishness in each other," she continues. "There's a moment where they're trying to find some information and Jane just starts climbing over the gate and Davey asks, 'What are you doing'? She says, 'I'm just looking for someone to ask for directions', but is actually breaking in. So they've still got that element of playfulness about them."
When asked how they would fare in their respective characters' jobs, Bardock admits he'd be a "hopeless copper".
"I'd be letting everyone off. Especially the speeding tickets..." the Surrey native says.
"It's interesting, because I think Davey's got much more of a sense of right and wrong. He's quite principled really, and it affects the whole of his life and every decision that he makes," he continues. "He's a bit more black and white than I am, but also I think he's constantly having to question that, because there are other elements, like his relationship with Jane. He's a man of dilemmas."
Goose, meanwhile, admires Jane's talent, and her sense of empathy.
She adds: "I think any cases to do with children are probably very difficult to deal with. And also you're dealing with families. So what I like about Jane, although she's very driven and is very dedicated to her job and finding the truth, she's equally got to be very compassionate to the people she's having to talk to."
While the coroner is clearly very good at her job, "pretty much everything else in her life she's winging" - including her relationship with her teenage daughter, Beth (Grace Hogg-Robinson).
"She does get quite consumed in her work to the detriment of her daughter sometimes. Beth, in this series, is far more disobedient and wayward, she doesn't listen and goes off and does things. She's probably crying out for attention because her mum's not there. As much as Jane keeps going, 'You're grounded, you're grounded', she's not really looking at her as a child and dealing with her."
Both actors are parents themselves (Goose to daughters aged four and seven, and Bardock to a daughter aged eight).
"My little girl loves it and I don't feel like I have to police it too much. She's constantly watching re-runs," says Bardock.
That said, the pre-watershed timeslot doesn't mean the drama has to be dampened down, Goose insists. "It's been sold worldwide in evening slots. It was number one in Australia, it's going out at 7.30 on a Saturday night, so it works in every slot really," she says. "It's what you're left to imagine."
The stars' children came to visit the set during half term, and it's clear both actors enjoyed their time shooting series two.

Question about Canon PIXMA iP1600 Printer
Posted by jabby410 on
If it is a black cartridge then you can put the hole anywhere in the top as it is all one sponge. If it is colour then you need the holes in the following places.
Magenta (Red) - Top Centre.
Cyan (Blue) - Bottom Left.
Yellow - Bottom Right.
If your still unsure it is quite simple to pop the lid off with a normal knife and refill directly into the sponges. When finished you can simply stick the lid back on, although this is not as tidy looking it will work fine.
Good luck.
Please rate my advice, good or bad.

After being indicted on 14 counts of federal bribery and corruption charges, Sen. Robert Menendez told supporters Wednesday he would fight the charges and that he is "not going anywhere."
The 68-page indictment includes conspiracy to commit bribery and making false statements. They allege the former chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee was showered with gifts by friend and Florida opthamologist Solomon Melgen. Melgen is also named in the indictment.
Advertisement - story continues below
The Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Newark Division explains why the New Jersey senator and the the Florida doctor were indicted in a press release Monday.
According to allegations in the indictment, between January 2006 and January 2013, Menendez accepted close to $1 million worth of lavish gifts and campaign contributions from Melgen in exchange for using the power of his Senate office to influence the outcome of ongoing contractual and Medicare billing disputes worth tens of millions of dollars to Melgen and to support the visa applications of several of Melgen's girlfriends.
Specifically, the indictment alleges that, among other gifts, Menendez accepted flights on Melgen's private jet, a first-class commercial flight and a flight on a chartered jet; numerous vacations at Melgen's Caribbean villa in the Dominican Republic and at a hotel room in Paris; and $40,000 in contributions to his legal defense fund and over $750,000 in campaign contributions. Menendez never disclosed any of the reportable gifts that he received from Melgen on his financial disclosure forms.
Menendez outright denied the allegations named in the indictment and vowed to fight them. He said as much in a video addressed to supporters Wednesday.

"I have always conducted myself in accordance with the law. I have always stood up for what I believe is right. I fight for issues I believe in the people I represent and the safety and security of this country every single day. That's who I am and I am proud of what I have accomplished and I am not going anywhere," Menendez said in a press conference Wednesday evening.
New Jersey political reporting site PolitickerNJ was present at the presser and talked with several Menendez supporters including Toms River resident George Kasimos.

"President Obama said he didn't want any Democrats to be in the Senate when [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu comes and speaks," said Kasimos. Kasimos was referring to the Israeli prime minister's speech to Congress last month. "Not only did Senator Menendez attend, he proverbially gave President Obama the middle finger. And he sponsored the bill to sanction Iran more if need be. He's trying to do what's right."
In light of the indictment, Menendez temporarily stepped aside from his top ranking position on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Still, the former mayor of Union City reiterated his innocence after leaving federal court Thursday. "As I said yesterday, these allegations are false," Menendez proclaimed in Newark according to PolitickerNJ. "I am confident they will be proved false – I look forward to proving it in court."

We almost lost the yellow house with the bad perspective a week ago last Thursday.
I was out, and had an art substitute who was teaching for me in the "new" artroom which is inside the school. The elementary school has been undergoing a big renovation in the past two years. Many new classrooms, new offices and a lovely new cafeteria with a large stage have been added. The old auditorium has been divided into two parts and I have the largest part and the music teacher will have the part with the stage.
The reason why I was not at school a week ago last Thursday is because my daughter-in-law and son were experiencing the birth of their first daughter, (and my husband and my first granddaughter) Marlee Michelle, who weighed in at 8lbs, 1oz.
It was a joyful and most wonderful day.
Not so at my dear elementary school, which is the school that I went to as a child and the school I love and want to help. When I went to school there as a little girl there was no integration. The school was all white. There were no art, music or P.E. teachers. The classroom teachers taught everything. There was no air conditioning, we had windows around every room. We had prayer in school, a Jewish boy read the story of Luke when we performed the Christmas program. We were allowed to walk home for lunch and walk back to school afterwards. If we were in trouble with our teacher we were in trouble with our parents. My teachers encouraged me to write, draw, and create scenery for plays which we performed ofen. We ran track and were always the number one school in town for track meets.
The demographics at my old school have changed radically but the school is still beloved to me. The students are still the same at heart. They are like I was, with the same hopes and dreams and I am there to help them succeed at them. That is my personal goal for my school and so many of my fellow teachers feel the same way. I've heard my principal say often that our school has the hardest working teachers in our school district and I agree. I see them in action and I know that to be true. No one can count public education out when you walk through the school where I teach art.
Our grand Open House is coming up soon and everyone has been scrambling to get moved into their new classrooms. The moment the classroom teacher moved out of her temporary digs which was the half of the old auditorium into her new classroom I asked the principal for permission to move into the school from my mobile classroom outside. It was a wonderful place to teach for three years but truth be told, much too small and always worrisome when the children needed to go to the bathroom. I had to stand at the door to watch them go into the school and send another child along with my key to get inside the door to the school and hope the child didn't drop it along the way, especially in the bathroom.
But I had lots of art in the room and I hung the yellow house chalk drawing along one wall and had glorious art prints along all the other walls and I made art history bulletin boards featuring wonderful artists who helped to make our world a more creative place to live. All around the room were the names of the great artists that I wanted the students to remember done in good calligraphy.
I am a neat-freak so I always had things where I wanted and that worked out well in such a small room. I only had one small bookshelf so I had to keep my books moving on a revolving basis and when the principal gave me permission to start to move in the big auditorium half the first thing I took with me were my personal artbooks. (too bad I wasn't able to move the bookshelf)
Since most of the first grade, second grade and kindergarten teachers were also moving their rooms with only the help of the two school custodians I knew I was more or less on my own so during every school break I was heading back and forth to the old room, grabbing art supplies and paper, some art prints and miscellaneous.
All that had been left in the old auditorium was a tiny old oak desk, five small rectangular tables, and chairs. I had talked the principal into giving me the old teacher mail boxes since we now had a new office and it included a new mail center so when he said yes, I could have it, I was elated. It works well as a place to keep all my classes work and has cabinets below I can use for storage which is a good thing, considering what happened on that fateful Thursday a week ago.
While I was out rejoicing over the birth of my granddaughter, a big truck pulled up behind the school, and stopped in front of my old art room. In to it walked a bunch of men who began to carry out my art cabinet, desk, file cabinet, (full of art history videos) and everything else in the room. Our school custodian saw what was happening and asked them if they had been in contact with the principal and the head man said no, but he had been ordered by the official in charge of buildings and grounds to get the mobile building ready to be moved away so the school would be ready for the Open House on March 15th.
Our custodian informed them that the teacher hadn't completely moved out of the room and needed the items so they needed to stop and leave the room alone until it could be emptied. But they didn't stop. The custodian started to move things that he knew I would need such as the rolling art text book cabinet out of the room. One of the fifth grade teachers also saw what was happening and organized her students to get in the room and save the art prints, the art supplies, the white board, the yellow house chalk drawing, The Mona Lisa wall hanging, and many other important art items. The students hand carried all of the art text books (2nd grade - 6th grade) from the old art mobile building into the new room.
All this chaos was happening while the art substitute was teaching the students. She told the fifth graders where to put the saved items and luckily there was plenty of room for them at the end of the very large room. My computer was saved. That was a lucky thing as I had just recently gotten it and hadn't even been able to install it yet. After five years as an art teacher I had been able to finally scrounge up a used computer and almost lost it.
The next morning, a Friday morning, as I was pulling into the parking lot, I noticed that the mobile building no longer had it's steps. As I got out of the car and walked towards the school, I saw that the doors were open and the building looked empty. My heart started beating harder as I walked over to the building and looked inside. It was completely empty.
As I walked into my art class inside the building I saw a pile of items inside the room. I sighed a breath of relief when I saw my big black art cabinet sitting in the middle of the room. I looked for my desk and file cabinet and book shelf and art cart and other items but they weren't there. They had been carried off and stored in a warehouse. Will I get them back? I have been told that I will. I won't hold my breath.
I returned to the pile and began sorting through. On the table at the end of the room was the Yellow House chalk drawing folded neatly (it's just made from butcher paper) and it had no damage done to it. I found the Mona Lisa wall hanging and my computer later on that day on the stage in the music room.
I know I can count myself very fortunate to have finally found myself included (along with my fellow music teacher) in a school which honors its art and music. We have a place now, not in closets, not on carts but in rooms of our own. We are also blessed with a fifth grade teacher who has always honored our efforts at our school (along with many other teachers) and in my opinion she elevated her students and taught them what a good deed really is. They did a lot of hard work by saving all the Van Gogh, Monet, Rembrandt, and O'Keeffe prints (and many others) oil pastels, water colors, paper.
In a very small way the fifth grade students were re-enacting a race that took place during World War ll when the Nazis were destroying and stealing the great art in Europe. No, there were no stormtroopers rampaging through the parking lot at our school but the entire contents of the artroom would have been taken had the men not been stopped. At the very least, the students, their teacher and the custodian stopped a bureaucrat's wasteful destruction.
The film about rescued art of WWII, The Rape of Europa, tells the story in documentary form about the heroic acts of individuals to save the art of our past, our art lineage, from defilement and destruction by the Nazis. I am going to try to find this film to view it. I hope it is being shown in high schools. For some reason, I am not extremely optimistic that it is, although it ought to be.
"The Rape of Europa" (based on the eponymous book by Lynn Nicholas) is a film that needs to be seen by every high school student, college student, history teacher, history buff, art teacher and museumgoer worldwide. It is not about the famous allegorical painting by Titian (1487-1576); it's a riveting documentary about the theft, destruction and miraculous survival of many of Europe's artistic and architectural treasures during World War II. "Europa," by Richard Berge, Bonnie Cohen and Nicole Newham, elicits a visceral weeping for what could have become a total holocaust for Europe's art and for its national treasures. The film details the race against the Nazi-programmed destruction and theft — mitigated by acts of heroism, sacrifice and determination — that underscores one of the film's truisms:
"Art is what makes us human."

All the late storms this last week have dumped loads of snow in the Wasatch mountains. Here's what Bishop's Bowl at Sundance looked like when the storm cleared for a minute and the sun came out.
See all the squiggly lines? A lot of those tracks are mine- and my gal Q- who had the day off of school- we were doing our best to fill in the gaps, until our legs could no longer hold us up. It's about time I got a powder day in, or, I should say… it's about time I got myself out onto the ski hill to enjoy a powder day.
PS- This is Sundance's last week of skiing, and there is a super deal going on… check it out on Facebook- day skiing is only $20, night skiing is $15 through April 3rd.

Bahlsen Pick Up Chocolate Noir/Puur
Taste: This snack is a sandwich with dark chocolate between two rectangular crackers (though they might be considered cookies). The chocolate layer is as thick as each of the crackers. The chocolate layer is very solid, so you have to bite a little extra hard once you get past the crackers to break through. The taste is very good. The one potential problem is that the crackers tend to make a lot of crumbs when you bite into them, and I hate getting crumbs all over my lap when I'm in a cramped airplane seat, because it's just about impossible to wipe the crumbs off.

Aroma: Very nice chocolate aroma.

We enable businesses to trade internationally by making it simpler to manage cross-border VAT. Our aim is to simplify the experience of cross-border VAT for businesses trading in Europe, through a policy of practical engagement with our clients and their indirect tax issues.
Our difference
Accordance is founded on the principle that consultancy work should be delivered in the context of compliance requirements, and that compliance services should be provided with attention paid to broader VAT positions.
Our history
Accordance was founded in 2006 in response to Europe's rapidly changing VAT situation. We reach across Europe, but manage all work from an accessible and responsive hub in the UK.
Our people
Accordance's team of International VAT Consultants and Compliance experts consist of highly experienced VAT professionals. We have all the major European languages represented in house.
VAT Registration
Whether your business is already registered in multiple countries, or you're considering whether you need to obtain your first international VAT registration, Accordance is set-up to assist you.
VAT Reporting
We have the language capabilities and expertise to help international businesses manage their VAT Returns, Intrastat and EC Sales reporting globally.
VAT Consultancy
Our consultants are specialists in international VAT, and work with an independent global VAT network extends to over 100 countries.
VAT Reviews
A VAT health-check can help you achieve full compliance to minimise the risk of fines and penalties and also to generate savings, and identify opportunities to improve cash-flow.
