Watershed Planning
The Conservancy has partnered with Lake Associations and other organizations to help write watershed protection plans for the major watersheds in Leelanau County. These plans are a guide for watershed residents to help maintain and improve the health of their watershed. They are written to meet both the state (Department of Environmental Quality or DEQ) and Federal (Environmental Protection Agency) criteria in order to be eligible for various grants and funding resources related to water quality and watershed protection.
Map of the major watersheds in Leelanau County
Both the Glen Lake Watershed, the Lake Leelanau Watershed and the West Grand Traverse Bay Watershed have approved watershed plans. The Conservancy has been a successful partner with these plans by protecting important upland recharge areas, wetlands and lake/stream frontage using Clean Michigan Initiative (CMI) funding. These watershed plans outline best management practices to help maintain watershed health and have been used as a guide for lake associations and residents. The Glen Lake Association has been successful in obtaining CMI funds for their water quality monitoring program.

We have worked with both private landowners on private conservation easement project s, purchase land that is open to the public as well as what we refer to as transfer and assist projects. This is where we have partnered with another organization on the project but do not own or hold a conservation easement on the property.

Brittany Week at Le Beaujolais - Mercure Centre Hotel, Abu Dhabi
People forget that French cuisine, one of the world's leading offerings, is diverse and regional. My favourite French restaurant in the city, Le Beaujolais at the Mercure Centre Hotel in the heart of the city, is hosting the cuisine of Britanny for a week from 26 January to 3 February. As I continue to educate myself with regards the diversity of French cuisine, this seemed like a perfect opportunity.
I start off with the Onion cream soup with pork bacon. It is a soup that has all the Le Beaujolais qualities - homely, hearty and simple. The soup is smooth and creamy and worthy of a starter as it is, but the bacon bits in a pastry cup float in the soup - I love it immediately. Rather than have the whole bowl with a bacon flavour, the bacon taste is contained in the pastry. The bacon has a biting texture, a perfect counter to the texture of the soup. Finally, a few coriander leaves add some freshness to the palate. I have honestly never had onion soup served this way. Exciting stuff.
Le Beaujolais has a very simple wine and beverage list, but offers of the cheapest wine in the city. However, to celebrate this exciting Brittany Week launch, I opt for a glass of the Lanson Brut NV. And why not? Life makes more sense when it is bubbly.
following my starter, I have a what on paper looks like a very unusual dish. The Fancy salad with sea scallop, truffle oil and foie gras is an indulgent salad. Delicate slices of Terrine of foie gras in any salad will be enough to excite me, but when you have nicely seared scallops in the mix, there is added reason for excitement. But I make sure that these ingredients do not detract me from the rest of the salad with freshness and colour abundant on the plate. The citrus vinaigrette and the intense truffle oil actually make for a good combination.
If you have only one dish during Brittany Week, make sure it is the galettes - a Brittany staple. The French Galette is similar to crêpe or even a pancake but is made from buckwheat. While it is a bit thicker and carries a bit more moisture. I opt for the Stuffed buckwheat pancake with smoked salmon, spinach and pine seeds. There are three things you will remember most about the dish - First, you will savour that first moment you cut through it - the aroma intoxicates. Then, you will remember the pine nuts - they add great texture. Finally, at 70AED, you will definitely remember the price.
For my main course, I have what turns out to be the homeliest of all dishes this evening. The Chicken in apple wine is massive and served with a simple garlic-based tagliatelle pasta on the side. The dish may not photograph well, but it is packed with so much heart. It has that 'you can make it at home' quality, another element typical of Brittany cuisine and indeed Le Beaujolais.
To end the evening, I have the Crêpes. I usually have a taste of dessert and no more, but there is something about the crepes that make want more and more. They are light and fluffy. Classic stuff.
Le Beaujolais, with its regular promotions, continues to be consistent. Its Brittany Week is another way in which it consolidates its standing among the French community in Abu Dhabi while attracting other expats to a true taste of France. It offers a balance between price, healthy portions and a French cultural experience on the plate.

County has to replace bridge into RV park
A failing 59-year-old bridge into the Fountain Creek RV Park is planned for replacement by El Paso County Transportation crews this year.
The Board of County Commissioners agreed this week to a plan in which 80 percent of the estimated $683,000 cost of a new Golden Lane bridge will be funded through a federal grant. "It's a pretty good deal," said County Commissioner/Westsider Sallie Clark.
County Transportation recommended replacement based on a study that gave the bridge, located near 31st Street and Colorado Avenue, an overall 44.8 percent sufficiency rating. Typically, engineers recommend replacement for bridges that are under 50 percent. A Transportation Department report states that the timber/steel structure, built in 1950, has "rusted outside steel girders, rusted steel floor beams, cracked timber stringers, cracked and rotted timber piling, and exposed footing at [the] south abutment."
Dennis Barron of County Transportation said the department intends to bid out the project by summer and build the span sometime in the second half of the year. "Construction will probably take from four to six months, but that's just a guess right now without having done the design work," he explained.
The Golden Lane bridge, about 50 feet long and not wide enough for two cars, is at the south end of Golden Lane Road, in an unincorporated enclave within the city. Starting from the avenue, the road goes about one block - between the Taco Bell and McDonald's restaurants, across the bridge over Fountain Creek and into the RV park.
With the bridge providing the park's only entrance or exit, Dennis Barron of County Transportation said he expects that some alternate access will be provided during construction. Gary Johnson, park manager, said he trusts that will be the case.
The park has 95 RV sites, 7 tent sites and 3 cabins.

PRESS RELEASE – A delegation from Invest Saint Lucia – comprising Chairman Pinkley Francis, Deputy Chairman Jodi Boodhoo and Chief Executive Officer, McHale Andrew – travelled to Bulgaria from January 24th to 28th 2017, for a series of project site visits, meetings and discussions with the principals of the GP Group and their associated clients, investment partners and Government officials.
The purpose of the visit, which was funded entirely by the GP Group, was to confirm the authenticity and antecedents of the GP Group; observe the projects that they had completed as well as those currently under construction; and to receive various presentations from GP, their sundry associates and Government officials on the work and investment record of the company.
One of the main objectives of the trip was to review the status and outstanding requirements for implementation of the Company's proposed hotel resort project, which is carded to be built on some 15.1 acres of land in Portalese, Choiseul.
The proposed Sunset Bay Resort, a luxurious hotel and beach resort valued at US $220 million, will comprise a 120-room luxury recreational centre, 40 bespoke villas with ocean views, spa centre, restaurants, sports facilities and a bio garden.
At the media launch of the project in May 2016, the developers projected employment at 200 during the construction phase and an additional 300 during the operations of the resort.
According to ISL's CEO McHale Andrew, "The entire delegation agreed that the meetings and site visits were rather useful and instructive. It was evident that the GP Group was indeed a serious construction and investment company with an impressive record of successful projects and the capacity for implementing several projects simultaneously." He added that the Company is currently involved in 26 major projects in Bulgaria alone.
Given their experience in Bulgaria, Andrew is even more enthusiastic about the Sunset Bay prospect and gave the assurance that Invest Saint Lucia, which is facilitating this investment, will continue to work with the respective Government Agencies and Ministries to secure the approvals necessary to realize this project.
The Group's representatives are expected in Saint Lucia in February for follow up meetings and further negotiations with Government officials.

3. Women vote for the first time in Saudi Arabia
Last December saw women in Saudi Arabia exercise the right to vote for the first time in history. Some 130,000 women registered to vote, while 978 registered as candidates in the latest municipal council elections. The ultra-conservative society is notorious for its discriminatory laws: women are not allowed to drive, and must gain male permission in order to travel, work or get married. Although the number of male voters greatly outweighed that of female voters, the election event marked a symbolic step forward in the struggle for gender equality and women's rights in Saudi Arabia.
4. Amnesty International put the UAE in the spotlight until it released three disappeared sisters
On 15 February 2015, three sisters, Asma Khalifa Al-Suwaidi, Mariam Khalifa Al Suwaidi and Alyaziyah Khalifa Al-Suwaidi, were subjected to enforced disappearance by the UAE's State Security apparatus. Security officials summoned the women for questioning and the sisters vanished for the next three months. Their crime was to run a peaceful Twitter campaign in support of their brother, a prisoner of conscience. After a global social media outcry, Asma, Mariam and Alyazia al-Suwaidi were released from secret detention on 15 May.
5. Wrongly imprisoned torture victim released
Claudia Medina, a torture victim from Mexico, was released and her charges were dropped. After her arrest, Claudia was tortured and sexually assaulted in order to force her to incriminate herself and others in drug-related crimes. The judicial investigation into the torture she has endured is still on the way.
6. Disabled Egyptian student freed from house arrest
Israa al-Taweel, a 23-year old disabled student, was arrested in June 2015 for socialising with two friends wanted by security forces. She was held without charge in pre-trial detention and questioned for hours without a lawyer present, whilst officials covered up her disappearance and did not inform her family or friends. She was then kept under house arrest and closely monitored. Widespread condemnation of her treatment was sparked by a picture of her crying in a courtroom. She won the support of Amnesty and former Egyptian presidential candidate Ayman Nour. Fortunately, Israa was freed from house arrest several months and the security measures against her were greatly reduced.
7. Prisoner of conscience finally reunited with his family
Burmese prisoner of conscience, Dr Tun Aung from Myanmar, was released. He was arrested and sentenced to 17 years in prison after an unfair trial in 2012 following riots – despite several witnesses acknowledging that he tried to calm the crowd. His case featured in the "Write for Rights" 2013 campaign, and Amnesty kept up the pressure for over two years to demand his release. Myanmar's National Human Rights Commission acknowledged the role of the letters in encouraging them to further examine Dr. Tun Aung's case.
8. Morocco repeals its 'rape marriage law'
The Moroccan parliament have amended a law which allowed a man to marry his underage rape victim to avoid prosecution and a stain on family honour. Article 475 made headlines in 2012 following the tragedy of a 16-year-old girl who committed suicide several months after a forced marriage to her rapist (also the subject of a documentary). Whilst more change is needed, and faster, it was hailed as an important step by advocacy groups such as Amnesty and Avaaz. A bill threatening 25 years of prison for violators of this law is in draft stage.
9. An historic breakthrough on transgender rights in Norway
On 10 April 2015 an expert committee announced that transgender people in Norway should no longer be forced to trade invasive treatment for having their gender legally recognized,. This followed Amnesty's global campaigning for John Jeanette Solstad Remø – a transgender woman and vocal activist featured in Amnesty's Write for Rights 2014 campaign. In June, Norway's government proposed that children as young as seven should be allowed to change their legal gender with parental support, among the lowest ages in the world for transgender rights.
10. Female genital mutilation is banned in Gambia
In November of 2015, the Gambian president announced an immediate ban on FGM. The barbaric custom is common to many African countries and involves the cutting of female genitalia, often when girls are at a young age. It can result in lifelong health issues including chronic pain, bleeding, infection and infertility. With 76% of its females having suffered FGM, Gambia has joined 19 other African countries in outlawing the tradition. This step shows that the state is prepared to strengthen its defence of the sexual and reproductive rights of women and girls in Gambia – let's hope that further countries like Somalia, Liberia and Mali follow suit.

Young people. Cool ideas. Making a living out of doing good!
Imagine you stop working for the man, and decide to start your own business with nothing more than a cool idea and some enthusiasm. 'Life could be a dream' think most of us, but for some young people bursting with entrepreneurial zeal that dream is a reality, and a pretty good one at that!
At Peach BM we specialize in working with young people who have started or would like to start, a cool unique business. It takes a lot of enthusiasm, creativity and guts to take that plunge but for some hard working young people it has proved well and truly worth the gamble.
Over the last few months we've been writing about some businesses that have caught our eye for being unique, creative and good! In this piece we'll be looking at Young Vagabond; a great new concept aimed at supporting and inspiring teenage girls to reach their potential.
Young Vagabond.
What is 'Young Vagabond'?
Well firstly it is one of the most creative and intriguingly named concepts I've come across. But besides that it is the brain child of Haylee and Ashleigh, who recognized how existing media aimed at teenage girls can make this period in their life much harder. Many publications have an unhealthy focus on body image for example, so an alternative was needed. Young Vagabond will produce a magazine focusing on empowering young women, and inspiring them to reach their potential in all areas of life! So, let's meet the young women behind this awesome concept…
Meet Haylee and Ashleigh
Ashleigh and Haylee are two young women in their 20′s and are super passionate about a range of issues. Not surprisingly issues surrounding young women are pretty high on that list. Though they admit to having different experiences during their teenage years they both felt that they would have benefited from a publication with more integrity than what was available.
The girls dream of running Young Vagabond together, full-time, in the not too distant future. In the interim though, they each remain very much their own people. Ashleigh enjoys an active lifestyle, and socialising when she can find the time. Both girls are self-confessed addicts of fantasy literature. Haylee uses any spare time to relax by painting or doing pilates, and she also eats Parmesan cheese straight out of the packet, buy hey, whatever floats your boat!
How will they do it?
After some research the girls discovered that among the social networking with the lol's, the omg's and the bff's, girls still read magazines! So the plans are to create a bi monthly magazine that focuses on a range of issues relevant to young women. Including:
Positive body image, bullying, individuality, friendship and ambition to name a few.
There will also be guest contributions from inspiring young women such as singer songwriter Thelma Plum (check out the pic with Haylee and Ashleigh on the right) and many more prominent females whose achievements will be celebrated and hopefully inspire the readers to reach their own potential.
The magazine will be complemented with plenty of content on the website and facebook and twitter accounts (links are below).
Why we dig it?
Most teen girl mags will only feature professional, airbrushed models of one body-type, between that and the usual cover piece on Lindsay Lohan's latest court appearance. Those kinds of magazines send horrible messages to young girls about society's expectations of them, and 'Lilo' is not the kind of role model these young people need. This magazine will represent women of all shapes and sizes,telling them to ignore the BS and embrace the unique qualities that make them who they are. They are also going to be printing the mag on enviro-friendy matte finish paper.
Right on!
But what if it didn't happen..?
That's right this concept is not a reality just yet! To get this concept off the ground Young Vagabond has registered with crowd funding website 'Pozible'. It's a unique way of raising funds in that no money will be deducted from anyone who donates account unless the target of $15,000 is reached by 23rd January. So Young Vagabond needs your support!! You can donate on Pozible by clicking here, just $10 and you will get the first issue for free, delivered to your door.
Get Involved!
Other ways to get involved are to give the page a like and a share on Facebook by clicking here, follow the twitter account, or have a look at the website here.
Hope you've enjoyed reading about this great concept. But don't forget it needs your support to come to fruition so get behind it folks! Thanks a lot :)
Watch this space and we'll keep you updated on some more young entrepreneurs and their cool unique businesses.
Cheers gang!

Rafa Ortiz-Superstar Kayaker or Urban Cowboy?

Rafa Ortiz-Superstar Kayaker or Urban Cowboy?
By Dave Lindo (owner OKC Kayak and Tulsa Kayak)
(Damn it! Another visitor to the state of Oklahoma, whose preconceived notions and perpetuated stereotypes would soon lead to his downfall. …by the way, some of the following story is true. You decide which parts!)
As a lifelong "OKIE", one of my biggest pet peeves is when companies or our tourism department goes with some sort of branding involving Cowboys or Indians. I knew our state had once again failed to project the true image of culture when I arrived at Will Rogers Airport in OKC to pick up Rafa Ortiz, for a weekend of free clinics at the new 44-million-dollar whitewater park. No sooner had I pulled up curbside to grab the waterfall dropping, paddling phenom, when it was clearly evident he had gone out of his way to dress the part. You see Rafa was sporting heavily starched blue jeans, pointy toed cowboy boots twice as long as his feet, a dinner plate sized belt buckle, and a HUGE cowboy hat branded with a Redbull logo. ( ….clearly not what I was expecting.) He even greeted me with a "HOWDY PARTNER!", and I only detected the slightest of accents from his home country of Mexico.
I instantly realized the weekend was going to be long if we didn't get Rafa to quickly assimilate. We whisked him away to our house (yes, he did ask on the ride there if we lived in a tipi—as honestly many folks do when they find out you live in Oklahoma), and soon after had traded his cowboy garb and boot spurs for a pair of Chacos, a swimsuit, and a maple leaf lapel pin from his new home country, Canada. Yes, Oklahoma is a very RED state, and we wanted to be extremely careful to not have Rafa mistaken as a "bad hombre"!
Despite much talk to the contrary, Rafa kept telling us how excited he was to get to go to his first rodeo. After nearly two hours of convincing, Rafa finally believed me that there would not be any bulls to ride at this clinic and the only rodeo was a whitewater RODEO he himself was teaching. The look of disappointment on his face was heart-wrenching.
Morning came early and we were off to Riversport Rapids Whitewater Center, a man-made park in the concrete jungle of downtown OKC, with Class III+ features. Rafa's eyes bulged out of his head when he stepped out of the car, as it was not the half dozen Oklahoma whitewater paddlers he thought would be present. Much the contrary, there were 150 whitewater boaters assembled and ready for Rafa to preach the gospel of whitewater to them. You could visibly see Rafa take a big gulp, and I am convinced he was thankful he was wearing dark shorts. While a veteran of teaching, Rafa had never had taught such a large number of students and big variety of skill levels all at once. We broke the groups up by paddling ability, with many, many community volunteers helping to teach various topics. At last count, this still left 73 raw beginners in the first class Rafa would teach. Some hypnosis may have been involved, but after an hour of teaching, these newbies were paddling in a counter-clockwise, coordinated direction in a multicolored, Jackson Kayak, paddling soup. With Rafa's help, this group was gracefully paddling the lower channels before lunch.
Afternoon sessions had the more experienced paddlers learning how to break down big water, master boofs, and grasp other advanced river running concepts. There would also be time later for some of the newbies to learn eskimo rolls under Ortiz's tutelage.
We had several young students in the class. These elementary age kids, not only got eskimo rolls, but ran some sections of the whitewater. Later in the day, Rafa would take the kids and a select few adults on tandem whitewater kayak rides in the Jackson Dynamic Duo. This was the highlight of the weekend seeing people whose skills might not allow them to experience the enormous waves and holes of the rapids otherwise.
Late on a very long and intensive day one, Rafa was so physical tired, his arm was shaking just trying to hold his paddle up. This would not stop him from living out his dream of becoming an urban rodeo cowboy. His kayaking was done for the day, but he insisted that he not return to his home on the Little White Salmon without riding the inflatable bull, pool toy down the rapids. To date, none had done so without falling off. Run one: BULL 1, RAFA 0, Run two: BULL 2, RAFA 0. Run 3: BULL 3, RAFA plus child passenger-0. One last run, RAFA was able to master the first successful descent on inflatable bull of OKC Riversport Rapids, and you'd have thought that Rafa had just ran Niagra Falls or something.
Saturday night we used toothpicks to hold Rafa's tired eyes open long enough for him to enjoy a party with the paddlers at OKC Kayak-Paddlesport Superstore. The most telling thing was the oft repeated comment, "Rafa is no nice and down to earth." We can confirm, Rafa is extremely humble, and a genuine class act. Despite a huge turnout, he gave everyone a lot of personal attention, and did so with a huge, and enthusiastic smile.
Day two went equally well, with another massive turnout and an even bigger increase of paddler skills. All appearances led us to believe that Rafa was having a serious amount of fun himself, splatting the walls of the course, and stern squirting every rapid in his Jackson Antix. I myself was enjoying the added stability and speed of the new Jackson Nirvana on the course.
After myself and others had Rafa autograph every paddling item we owned, we finally let him call the weekend a success. As he was leaving out of town I heard him muttering something about running 190-foot Palouse Falls on said inflatable pool toy. Only time will tell.
(OKC Kayak offers a heartfelt thanks to Jackson Kayak, Rafa Ortiz, Riversport Rapids, and the over 100 volunteers who taught classes, loaded and unloaded kayaks, fitted people with boats and gear, cooked meals, fished boaters out of the water, took photos, and so much more. We are grateful to live in a community where paddling is huge and customers are fiercely loyal to our store and Jackson Kayak as a brand.)

Galilee Energy Limited has successfully completed its acquisition of the remaining 50% interest in ATP 529P from AGL Energy Limited. ATP 529P is a coal seam gas project located in the prolific Galilee Basin in Queensland. The acquisition was announced by Galilee on 4 June 2015.
The transaction allows Galilee to accelerate testing on the alternate completion design at Glenaras. The coal seam gas parameters in ATP529 provide excellent resource concentration but are yet to deliver commercial gas rates. The R1 coal seam test will target the production potential of the uppermost R1 coal seam, allowing pressure drawdown of the coal without any contribution from neighbouring sands. Testing is planned to commence early in 4th quarter 2015.
Managing Director Peter Lansom said, "The completion of the ATP 529P acquisition allows Galilee to expedite the testing of the production potential of the R1 coal seam. We thank AGL for their ongoing cooperation and significant investment in the project since 2008."

Assisting men experiencing dificulties in their lives.
"As we gaze into life, what we see and what is reality, maybe very different."
This site is also dedicated to sharing my loves, my blessings, my gifts, my gratitudes, my experiences, and my hearts passion to assist in the upliftment of humanity wherever possible, believing in the right for all to receive love and to give love.
Everyone is born to be happy, to be free and to reach their full potential so they may come to experience the great soul they really are and to fulfil the journey they have come here to experience, free from interference, suppression or controls.
My Three Treasures
In Brief:
Easter 1980 I was given a profound experience taking me to a place beyond the physical world, a place where everything is suspended in stillness and silence, where everything is witnessed, where everything is understood. It was a coming home experience which I was determined never to lose.
As time went by I re visited this place as a daily routine, diving into this inner ocean of great peace and love, of strength and clarity of mind. Then the tests began and the choices presented themselves. I could have this new experience as a permanent state or I could carry on in my outer world. Unfortunately I wanted both. It was as though someone had other ideas for this slow learner who wanted everything. Suddenly I witnessed my outer world being turned upside down, things dear to me were taken, yet nothing moved me from this place of inner stillness and calm. New opportunities continued to unfold and present themselves as great gifts as long as I stayed on track. The moment I wavered, the reaction was swift. Being a slow learner this was a common occurrence which I had to be mindful of and constantly monitor.
In 2000 I was instructed to sit, write what was given and share with whomever wished to listen. The 'My Life Matters' program was the result which was shared in many venues, where many lives were turn around as a result of individual self-effort and desire to change their situation and come to know their true nature. The program explains what our inner-selves already know, it is simply a brief sharing, providing the expanded awareness and the tools to bring about a life of inner contentment and the understanding that, within every 'human heart' is the capacity to experience extra-ordinary levels of love, contentment and stability These gifts know no boundaries and are present within everyone, regardless of our awareness of them or our life's circumstances.
We do not have to give up or change anything in our live no matter how off beam they may seem. When we give ourselves permission to enter into and cultivate our inner gifts, to enter into silent contentment and experience the great energy of love within, everything that we wish to give up or change, gives us up and changes as a result.
Every day we sit at the keyboards of our own lives entering every future moment. Every thought we have and every action we take is as a result of what is presently stored in the layers of our deep subconscious memories. These memories are the accumulation of what we have been exposed to since conception.
The origin of our thoughts and actions stem from within the centre of intelligence which lays within the centre of every human heart. These thoughts and actions have to pass through our accumulated subconscious memories and scars, whatever they may be, before presenting themselves on the screen of our minds as perception or enacted into creative reality. It is these individual memories and scars that prevent us from experiencing the full power of love which contains all the virtues of life and the oneness with all humanity and that herein this divine classroom of life

Simply mentioning the name Bernard (Bernie) Madoff will send shivers of rage down the spines of many, many people. After all, the stockbroker and investment advisor was behind a globale Ponzi scheme that defrauded thousands of people to the tune of billions of dollars over the course of nearly forty years
Seven years ago, in June of 2009, Madoff was sentenced to 150 years in prison, which he is now serving.
But what else is there to know about the high-profile fraudster from Queens, New York? Was there another side to him?
Here are six facts about Madoff that aren't as highly-publicized as his Ponzi scheme:
Madoff met his wife, Ruth Alpern, while in high school. The two married in 1959. Years later, Ruth admitted that she and her husband considered committing suicide after the scheme was revealed to the public.
Madoff loved to swim. He picked up the interest while in high school and became a lifeguard at the Silver Point Beach Club in Long Island.
Madoff was a pioneer. He helped bring electronic trading to the forefront and often spoke before congressional leaders. He was also actively involved in the National Association of Securities Dealers and served as its board chairman.
Madoff loved his watches. According to a 2013 New York Times article titled "The Talented Mr. Madoff," he was "an avid collector of vintage watches and took time each morning to match his wedding ring —he owned at least two —two the platinum or gold watch band he was wearing that day."
Madoff was actively involved in the nonprofit community. He donated $6 million to lymphoma research and made charitable gifts through the $19 million Madoff Family Foundation. He and his wife, Ruth, also gave hundreds of thousands of dollars to political campaigns within the Democratic Party.
Madoff's sons have had a rough life. Mark, the oldest of two sons, committed suicide by hanging himself in his New York apartment. Andrew, the younger son, was diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma, in 2003.
Disease hasn't stopped with Andrew. The elder Madoff, now 77, suffered a heart attack in December 2013 and now suffers from end-stage renal disease. It's also rumored that Madoff has kidney cancer.

good luck for the search of the mint one
the sp4 is a spectacular motorbike, with a spectacular engine, in my opinion the ultimate ducati with a soul ... if you can buy it without thinking twice, but be careful it's totally original, it's too important ...
Ducati 851 sp2 1990 - Ducati 996s monoposto (Sps engine ) - Honda 750 four k2 1972 - Bmw k100 1986
I personally think/feel that the SP4 and SP(4)S are the best looking of all the road going 851/888's.
...and the Ohlin's front end (on the SPS) marks them out above the later SP5's again IMO.
Leaking fork seal problems can be sorted out, my own 851 runs Ohlins FG9050's sorted by Maxton, they haven't leaked in the last 4 years and many thousands of miles so far...
Fingers crossed here.
Lets be honest here chaps, any 851/888 is a hoot to ride fast, they're all a lot of fun.
You pay your money and make your choice, as to which model you choose.
Steve R
Enough said, 2nd the last statment.
Good luck, phots please.
Hello guys! Could anyone decode these frame and engine number? Frame: ZDM888S001515DGM528390M
Engine: ZDM888W4001717
Yes those numbers are correct for an 888 SP4.
From my records it should have a plaque on the top yoke of something like high 400,s or lowish 500,s
Please let me know as I am building up a comprehensive record (That I will keep locked up)
Thanks a lot!! I will let you know in a few days
A number DOT of a tire (year of production) "248": can anyone decode it? In my opinion is 48th week of 1992. Am I right?
I think it is week 24 of 1998 or 1988, 1988 is probably a little too old.
Some manufacturers added a symbol to distinguish 1998 from 1988.

This week marks the one year anniversary of The Farming Show morphing into The Country. I recall the time well as the initial changeover date was set down for last January and cut my summer holiday short by two weeks!
The plan was to start 2016 by ushering in the new show, to be broadcast on both Radio Sport and Newstalk ZB. That failed to eventuate for reasons unknown to me and a new date was set for February. Upon hearing of the delay host Jamie Mackay decided to extend his summer break and let me take over; the man's generosity knows no bounds.
The February date also proved too difficult to get off the ground, so the launch was delayed a second time. I can't recall whether March or April was touted as the new start time, but that didn't work either; in fact there may have been false starts during both months, but by that stage I had assumed to foetal position and had taken up residence in the broom cupboard.
For those unaccustomed to the New Zealand radio landscape, Radio Sport is a solid little battler in a niche market, while Newstalk ZB is the Mothership that successfully navigates the cluttered waters of a nation that is saturated with more radio stations per capita than anywhere else on earth.
It represented a major coup for Mr Mackay and the brand he set up more than two decades earlier in the rural South Island hamlet of Gore. However, the problem with moving into such coveted territory, and into the company of the exalted ZB stable, was the nervous uncertainty that surrounded the shift.
It was a widely held belief that it would only be a matter of time before these country bumpkins would cock things up, ratings would plummet and we'd be sent back down from whence we came. Edicts were issued from those higher up the food chain on what would be expected, what wouldn't be tolerated and to how to fit seamlessly into the ZB fold.
I had long since been silenced on my insolence at protesting the name change of the show. My argument was the brand was established and had become part of the furniture so to speak - it was well known. Plus I could foresee some difficult phone calls on the horizon...
"Hi, Dom here from the country".
"Which country"?
"This country - New Zealand - we're a radio show".
"The Country radio show? Like Kenny Rogers and Hank Williams? Have I won something!?"
"No.... we used to be the Farming Show"
"Oh, the Farming Show! Why didn't you say so!?"
Jamie's argument was that it was above my pay grade.
So we forged on and May was set down as the new date. This time the relevant documents were miraculously signed off and we readied ourselves for the first show.
There was a great deal of general panic as the orders were given to tighten up, become more business-focussed and dispense with any frivolities. It sounded quite boring to me, but I stuck to my pay grade and went along with it. However, I did make a prediction and wrote it down.
In fact, I wrote it on the 17th of December 2015 along the lines of: "the more things change the more they stay the same". There was no need to panic, normal transmission would resume once the initial charade gradually dissipated.
And so it proved to be - one year on all the pretence has vanished and we're still the good old Farming Show at heart, still bickering away on air, still presenting something of a variety show with a rural bent and where the possibility of an on-air train wreck still proves a compelling reason to tune in.

Courses which are intended for future catamaran charter customers who want to feel comfortable as well as families who envisage sailing far and for a long time aboard their own catamaran. But 'performance' courses are much rarer. Yachtig is offering a fast cruising course aboard a TS 42, which will take place in the West Indies next February. Limited to four people, it is about understanding how a fast cat works and the pleasure of sailing fast, without for all that neglecting safety.

|"A portrait of my children, once a week, every week in 2013."
On the Range
September 10 - 16, 2013
{On the Range} is my weekly series where I discuss what we're doing, reading, and eating. It's a little bit 52 project and other photo projects, and a little bit {Did you Read?} and {In the Ranger Kitchen}.
- Looking forward to the release of The Motherhood Archives; it explores the history of childbirth and motherhood. I'm hoping I get more insight than from reading the sensationalist, overwrought, and undersexed writers of Slate. Too harsh?
- I love this article about ways Facebook can suck. Dumplings!
- You go, Chipotle!
- smitten kitchen's chana masala
- Roasted brined whole chicken
- Celery root puree by Martha Stewart
I'm not sure why I never posted this video before (or if I did, I can't find where), but I just rediscovered it on my desktop this morning. It's of Vivi collecting "clumps" of snow. It was hilarious to me because there was more snow on the ground than one could possibly enjoy, yet she was finding special mounds that she insisted on carrying with her. Girl loves her some winter weather.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *
As debut albums go, Norman Kelsey's unveiling as a solo star was nothing short of excellent. A Talent For Loving takes the young man on a ride that is heavily influenced by the sounds of Prince, soul masterpieces and the best that pop can inspire, a disparate range of emotions and one of the sweetest voices captured on disc.
Before the soul sound really took a hold on his second album, the stunning On The Rebound, this first offering was so cool it was permissible to wear shades whilst residing in its company and wallow in its superbly written arrangements and bask in the maturity. A Talent For Loving has that type of edge that drove fans wild over the aforementioned prince of pop but with none of the pretention that took hold of his career.
What you find sprinkled throughout the album are tracks that retain the idea of dance driven desirability and an honesty that is usually reserved for someone who has been around a few decades longer that Norman Kelsey has been. The hunger to get people to get up and take notice is a palpable beast, everyone has it somewhere within them but it some it enters the realms of being called a show-off or being detached from the audience. In Norman Kelsey's case the music is the star, the vocal chords stretched to bursting in deference to the idea of what the young man is trying to get across.
There are some pretty amazing tracks on the record that just shout class, U Had The $, Everyone's Ingenue, the fantastic Sucka and the storming Roosevelt's Revue are class personified. You would perhaps expect a debut solo album to push the musician into being happy with just getting the name of the artist established, making sure that people knew who they were; not in Norman's world, this is a young man who entered the world of music with all guns blazing and in desperate need of being told that no matter what he was going to be huge.

Neighbours in Primrose Hill fear basement dig traffic
Jenny McCririck - 'The Booby - appears in Town Hall chamber with plea for councillors to visit mews
29 March, 2018 — By Richard Osley
Planners met at Camden Town Hall on Thursday
NEIGHBOURS fear their lives will be turned upside down by construction lorries heading to a basement dig in a Primrose Hill mews.
Councillors heard warnings that emergency services would be unable to reach homes in the narrow Albert Terrace Mews, off Regent's Park Road, at a council meeting on Thursday.
Jenny McCririck, who lives near the site with her husband, the racing pundit John McCririck, appeared in the council chamber, appealing for the planning committee to visit the site before reaching a decision.
"If the road is blocked by construction work on-site materials, there will be no access for emergency vehicles," she said: "More than 51 people exit their houses onto this mews alone. This includes several elderly people, as well as children under the age of six. If ambulance and fire service need access it will be impossible. The road is so narrow I will not be able to leave my house if the road is blocked by delivery lorries."
Jenny McCririck at the Town Hall
Ms McCririck, affectionately known as The Booby, a nickname revealed by her husband during his appearance in Celebrity Big Brother, warned that the road was so narrow in places that it could already be dangerous.
Keith Gordon, from the Prince Albert Road Residents Association, told the meeting: "I'm also concerned about the general need for a small mews house to have a large extension, and I do note that in Westminster the Labour councillors are saying that this just doesn't seem to be an appropriate development project." He said the council needed to make sure promises over building and traffic controls were put into practice.
Mr Gordon said: "The last time I spoke in this chamber was 15 years ago concerning the road surface on Prince Albert Road. I was assured by the councillors then that it would be a matter looked at – 15 years later we are still waiting. We therefore need to ensure promises are not only made but adhered to."
The owner of the house, Andrew Cowan, told the meeting that works would not start during the school exam periods to reduce disturbance, and pledged a professionally managed project.
He said: "I'm a lawyer working in housing community associations and Sarah, my partner, is a state school primary teacher with a specialism in teaching deaf children. The point of mentioning that is we are not developers, and this is our home."
Andrew Cowan
Mr Cowan said the couple had been together for five years and were now "planning their future together" and with children from previous relationships needed more room.
"We considered the option of moving as an alternative because we don't want to cause unnecessary disruption, but to move to a home that would provide the additional space we need as a family would be uneconomic, especially as we want to stay in the area," said Mr Cowan. "Having lived through works to other neighbours' properties, we acknowledge their concerns. Much has been made that our application constitutes overdevelopment. Once completed, apart from the reinstatement of the kitchen window, no part of the development will be visible from the street or to any of our neighbours."
Councillors voted unanimously to approve the scheme, which already had the backing of planning officers.
Camden's transport strategy manager, Steve Cardno, said delivery trucks would be able to "reverse part way down" the mews before materials could be unloaded by wheelbarrow or by hand.

Encrypting using off-server encryption keys
Configure KMIP (Key Management Interoperability Protocol) encryption to use encryption keys that are stored on another server.
When encryption keys are maintained on a KMIP key server, the keys are cached by Cassandra locally in the memory heap when in use by the DSE process.
The location of the dse.yaml file depends on the type of installation:Use OpsCenter to configure an alert to monitor KMIP server status.
|Package installations
|Installer-No Services
|Tarball installations
- Back up SSTables.
Set the system_key_directory property in
the dse.yaml file.
- On a packaged installation, accept the default system_key_directory: /etc/dse/conf. Go to the next step to set permissions on the directory.
- On a tarball installation, optionally change the directory on each node
in the cluster from /etc/dse/conf to another directory,
or skip this step and adjust permissions as described in the next step. You
must configure the path to the system key to relocate the key to a directory
that you have permission to access.
- Navigate to install-directory/resources/dse/conf.
- Open the dse.yaml file for editing.
- Change the path of the system_key_directory to the path of a directory that you have permission to access.
- Set permissions on the directory that is set for the system_key_directory property in the dse.yaml file to give rights to change the keytab file only to the user role that is running DataStax Enterprise. JNA takes care of setting these permissions.
- Ensure that the role who encrypts data has been granted ALTER permission on the table that contains the data to be encrypted. You can use LIST PERMISSIONS to view the permissions that are granted to a role.
Perform host configuration for one or more KMIP key server groups.
- Configure the KMIP key manager and authorize each DataStax Enterprise node to the KMIP key server group. Consult the KMIP key server documentation.
- On each DataStax Enterprise node, open the dse.yaml file in a text editor and configure the KMIP key server group or key server groups in the kmip_hosts section. Create a user-defined name for a group of options to configure a KMIP server or servers, key settings, and certificates. Configure options for a kmip_groupname section for each KMIP key server or group of KMIP key servers. Using separate key server configuration settings allows use of different key servers to encrypt table data, and eliminates the need to enter key server configuration information in DDL statements and other configurations. Multiple KMIP hosts are supported.
Option Description hosts A comma-separated list of hosts[:port] for the KMIP key server. There is no load balancing. In failover scenarios, failover occurs in the same order that servers are listed. For example:
hosts: kmip1.yourdomain.com, kmip2.yourdomain.com
keystore_path The path to a java keystore that identifies the DSE node to the KMIP key server. For example:
keystore_type The type of key store. The default value is jks. keystore_password The password to access the key store. truststore_path The path to a java truststore that identifies the KMIP key server to the DataStax Enterprise node. For example:
truststore_type The type of truststore. The default value is jks. truststore_password The password to access the truststore. key_cache_millis Milliseconds to locally cache the encryption keys that are read from the KMIP hosts. The longer the encryption keys are cached, the fewer requests are made to the KMIP key server, but the longer it takes for changes, like revocation, to propagate to the DataStax Enterprise node. DataStax Enterprise uses concurrent encryption, so multiple threads fetch the secret key from the KMIP key server at the same time. Default: 300000. DataStax recommends using the default value. timeout Socket timeout in milliseconds. Default: 1000.This example shows configuration settings for Vormetric and Thales key servers:
kmip_hosts: vormetricgroup: hosts: vormetric1.mydomain.com, vormetric2.mydomain.com, vormetric3.mydomain.com keystore_path: pathto/kmip/keystore.jks keystore_type: jks keystore_password: password truststore_path: pathto/kmip/truststore.jks truststore_type: jks truststore_password: password thalesgroup: hosts: thales1.mydomain.com, thales2.mydomain.com keystore_path: pathto/kmip/keystore.jks keystore_type: jks keystore_password: password truststore_path: pathto/kmip/truststore.jks truststore_type: jks truststore_password: password
On each DataStax Enterprise node, confirm communication with the KMIP key
server and restart the node.
Use the dsetool utility to confirm communication.
$ dsetool managekmip list kmip_groupname
After communication between the DataStax Enterprise node and the KMIP
key server or servers is verified, restart the node. Repeat this step on
each node.
The DataStax Enterprise node will not start if it cannot connect to the configured KMIP key server.
- Use the dsetool utility to confirm communication.
Set and use KMIP as the encryption key provider.
- Set KMIP encryption options when you create a table or alter an existing table.
- Optional:
Configure password encryption to encrypt stored passwords in the
configuration files. Use
dsetoolto generate the required URL:
dsetool createsystemkey 'AES/ECB/PKCS5' 128 -k kmip_groupnameEdit the dse.yaml file in a text editor. For the
config_encryption_key_nameproperty, paste the URL that is returned from the
dsetool createsystemkeyutility. See Encrypting sensitive property values.
- Optional:
Configure system table encryption to encrypt system
tables that contain sensitive information, including the Cassandra
commit log. Edit the dse.yaml file
in a text editor. In the
system_info_encryption section, comment out
key_name if it exists, and uncomment or add
key_provider and kmip_host:
system_info_encryption: enabled: false cipher_algorithm: AES secret_key_strength: 128 chunk_length_kb: 64 key_provider: KmipKeyProviderFactory kmip_host: kmip_groupname
key_provider: KmipKeyProviderFactoryonly to specify a KMIP key server.
- Use the dsetool managekmip command to manage encryption keys that are stored on the KMIP key server. See Managing off-server encryption keys.
- Rewrite all SSTables using nodetool upgradesstables --include-all-sstables to immediately store the tables on disk.

I have spent the last 48 hours contemplating what to write in my first blog. Do I include a little about who I am? Do I explain my cancer journey thus far? Do I jump right in to a topic like being positive or what it feels like to be referred to as an 'inspiration'? Well, I think I will do a little bit of everything.
I was that kid that did everything 'right'. 99% of the time, where I told my parents I was going to be was actually where I was. I put a lot of pressure on myself to do well academically and in doing so I successfully earned three degrees. My life was on track and being in my 20s, I was excited about marriage, babies, and a new career however, cancer had other things planned for me.
I was diagnosed with stage 2 breast cancer. I had a mastectomy 17 days after hearing the diagnosis. I had the choice of a lumpectomy but the tumour was the size of a golf ball so the deformation would have been severe and the odds of the cancer coming back with a lumpectomy was 10-20% versus 5-10% with a mastectomy. I was lucky enough to have an implant (well, an expander to be exact) inserted at the time of my mastectomy. I had a reduction on my other side as well. My boyfriend jokes that he is lucky enough to have 2 sets of boobs while being with one woman.
Since I found out I had cancer 3 months ago, my focus has changed from having a baby in the next 2-3 years to being able to have a baby at all. During the cyclophosphamide part of my chemo cocktail, I give my ovaries a bit of a pep-talk to ward off as many harmful chemicals as possible. Here's hoping it works. And as for marriage, I was actually not planning on getting married any time soon (I've been with the same wonderful man for 5 years) but since my diagnosis, marriage has become very important to me. I heard the saying, 'we make plans and God laughs' the other day and it has never felt more applicable.
I shaved my head on Sunday. I wanted to have some control over losing my hair so after donating as much as I could (about 12 inches) and sporting a short style for a few weeks, I decided to shave it to avoid it coming out in clumps. I wasn't sure how I was going to react but I loved it. I mean, yes, I wish I had hair but I've always wondered what it would be like to have a shaved head and now I know. Once I stood up to look in the mirror, my boyfriend couldn't get me back in the chair to do final touches because I was too busy walking around the kitchen letting the air graze through my scalp. I actually had to wear a hat to bed that night because I was a little too cool.
My friends and family have been unbelievably supportive and I owe a lot of my strength and courage to them. Not a day goes by where I don't receive a card, a text, a fb message, or a phone call from someone asking about how I'm feeling and if they can do anything. Soon after I was diagnosed, my friends entered a team in the Relay for Life in my honour and appropriately called it 'Team Katie.' It is this weekend. They have raised almost $7000 and my mom has raised over $1500 of that $7000. I am so proud of them. I have been surrounded by so much support that it's hard for me not to stay positive. I am really looking forward to seeing everyone and walking the victory lap at the start of the event.
Thank you to everyone who has read this first blog. I'm really excited about this experience and plan to use this tool to both be inspired and doing a little inspiring myself.

4 June, 2015 - Vistors from the International Thomas Merton Society tour Gethsemani
The International Thomas Merton Society held its annual conference in Louisville this year, from the 4th through the 7th of June.
This year's event was a very special one, marking the centenary of the birth of Thomas Merton.
Papers were given by various scholars, including former Anglican Archbishop Rowan Williams and the Abbey's own Br. Paul Quenon.
On the morning of Thursday the 4th, several busloads of visitors came from Louisville for a tour of Gethsemani. Many of the participants had never before been here.
The highlight of the tour was a visit to the hermitage where Thomas Merton lived during his final years at the Abbey. Visitors spent some time inside the hermitage, and were served refreshments before heading back to their buses and the conference.

Hello #teamawakening family!
Welcome to the update from week 2 of our "What If?" Series. Our worship time was really encouraging as many of the students worshiped with their eyes closed and hands raised without being asked to do so!
The message was, "What If We Got Over Ourselves and Ignored Social Cliques?" A clique can be defined as— a narrow, exclusive circle or group of persons; a small group of people, with shared interests or other features in common, who spend time together and do not readily allow others to join them. Unfortunately, cliques are everywhere. While there is nothing wrong with having a group of people that you share common interests with and hang out with, it is important to remember that we are called to show God's love to everyone and not just those in our group. The hard thing is this— talking to someone outside of our group of friends can many times mean risking our own standing with our circle of friends/clique.
We looked at the story of Peter and Cornelius in Acts 10-11 to see how God opened Peter's eyes to view others in a whole new way. Peter was a Jew, and Jews viewed Gentiles (anyone who did not follow Jewish customs) as unclean and unworthy. We picked the message up with God sending an angel to speak to Cornelius (a Gentile). Acts 10:1-8NIV says,
At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion in what was known as the Italian Regiment. 2 He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly. 3 One day at about three in the afternoon he had a vision. He distinctly saw an angel of God, who came to him and said, "Cornelius!"
4 Cornelius stared at him in fear. "What is it, Lord?" he asked.
The angel answered, "Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God. 5 Now send men to Joppa to bring back a man named Simon who is called Peter. 6 He is staying with Simon the tanner, whose house is by the sea."
7 When the angel who spoke to him had gone, Cornelius called two of his servants and a devout soldier who was one of his attendants. 8 He told them everything that had happened and sent them to Joppa.
This Scripture shows us the first point we discussed last night…
1. God Doesn't Pay Attention to Social Labels
The truth? God died for the sins of the WORLD and not just a select few people or group of people. Anyone who desires and commits to surrender their life to Jesus has eternal life in and through him! Sending his men to Peter was a social risk for Cornelius as he knew what Peter and the Jews thought about Gentiles. Cornelius disregarded the social risks that this situation presented because he was hungry to gain a better understanding of Christ. God also sent an angel to Peter. Acts 10:9-16 says,
9 About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance.11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. 13 Then a voice told him, "Get up, Peter. Kill and eat."
14 "Surely not, Lord!" Peter replied. "I have never eaten anything impure or unclean."
15 The voice spoke to him a second time, "Do not call anything impure that God has made clean."
16 This happened three times, and immediately the sheet was taken back to heaven.
Peter's first response was, ABSOLUTELY NOT! God quickly shows him that nobody is unclean or beyond God's love because we are all created by a God who loves us all unconditionally, and Peter realizes the second point we talked about last night:
2. God Loves the Outsiders Just as Much as the Insiders.
The first things out of Peter's mouth when he met Cornelius was, "You are well aware that it is against our law for a Jew to associate with or visit a Gentile. But God has shown me that I should not call anyone impure or unclean. 29 So when I was sent for, I came without raising any objection. May I ask why you sent for me?" (Acts 10:28)
Once he met Cornelius and heard his story, Peter realized that Cornelius wasn't all that different from him. The same is true with us. It's easy to believe that we have nothing in common with people who aren't in our group of friends, but in reality, we're pretty similar. We all have a desire to belong, feel self-worth, and be accepted. The main difference between us and the people we are trying to reach is that we have a relationship with Jesus and they don't. However, that can all change when we get over ourselves, ignore social cliques, and love people like Jesus.
As Peter is talking with Cornelius, the presence of God falls on Cornelius and his entire household! (Acts 10:34-48) Peter then realizes the last point we talked about during the message:
3. God Has a Plan For the Outsiders Too
Peter realized that God loved the Gentiles (outsiders) just as much as the Jews, and that he had a plan and purpose for their lives! What would happen if we went beyond the social cliques and reached out to the outcasts like Peter did? We could see those that we thought were lost causes in our churches worshiping God and thanking him for bringing us into their lives to help them realize that they were loved by him. What would happen if you could no longer tell what all of the different cliques were at school because God's love tore down those boundaries? What if we went beyond our normal social boundaries like Peter and Cornelius did? I think it would look something like this…
What If…?
-Pastor Dustin

28/2/01 England 3-0 Spain
In Sven Goran Eriksson's first match in charge England was impressive in a 3-0 victory. England almost played two teams with eighteen players for them on the field at some stage. Nicky Barmby was especially impressive scoring the first goal in the 38th minute. Later goals were scored by Emile Heskey in the 54th minute and Ugo Ehiogu in the 70th minute. The surprise debutant Chris Powell of Charlton also impressed at left fullback. This was a very good first match for Sven Goran Eriksson's England but it was only a friendly.
24/3/01 England 2-1 Finland
England put their 2002 World Cup qualification campaign back on track in this match with goals from Michael Owen in the 43rd minute and David Beckham in the 50th minute cancelling out an own goal by Gary Neville in the 27th minute. It was a good performance by captain David Beckham who led the troops to give Sven Goran Eriksson two wins from two matches.
28/3/01 England 3-1 Albania
Michael Owen scored in the 73rd minute, Paul Scholes in the 85th minute and Andy Cole broke his scoring duck for England in the 90th minute. Another win by England put them firmly back in the 2002 World Cup qualifying hunt. It was another good performance by both captain David Beckham and Michael Owen. For the second successive game Emile Heskey came on to impact on the left side of midfield. England have shown that they have the ability at least to reach a play-off spot.
25/5/01 England 4-0 Mexico
England beat Mexico in a friendly easily with an impressive first half display. Steven Gerrard showed his impressive skills and Robbie Fowler made a good return to the starting line-up. Goals came from Paul Scholes in the 3rd minute, Robbie Fowler in the 14th minute and David Beckham in teh 29th minute. The second half featured an almost totally different side with only Phil Neville completing the match. Teddy Sheringham completed the scoring with a goal in the 74th minute.
7/6/01 England 2-0 Greece
This win, to make it five wins from five for Sven Goran Eriksson, has put England in a strong position to at least finish second in the group and qualify for the play-offs for the World Cup. Greece were their closest rivals and this display was a convincing result. Beckham scored his third goal in four games, off a free kick, in the 87th minute. Scholes had earlier given England the lead in the 64th minute.
