danielcoop Good: Great location, really friendly and helpful staff. Brilliant view out of bedroom onto the Med. Nice big room, clean and comfy. Decent bathroom (although this was in an adjoining room via the reception). Bad: Expensive price per night, but cheap compared to other local options. No breakfast provided (unless you count a coffee machine and some packets of dry bread). Our room was next to the main reception, so it was quite noisy whenever anybody was in the reception. Overall: Cefalu's a lovely place, if you're visiting on a budget you'll do well to find a better place to stay on a budget than this. Dolce Vita next door looked nice too.

Always Summer 40 Degree Down Sleeping Bag
Shopping Info
|Marmot Always Summer 40 Degree Down Sleeping Bag - The Always Summer 40 Degree Down Sleeping Bag by Marmot is perfect for traveling light and sleeping well. This ultra-light bag provides reliable transport to the Land of Nod at just over two packable pounds. And it doesn't skimp on the features, either. The Always Summer is made of 650 Fill Power Down with Down Defender for added water-resistance in wet conditions. A trapezoidal footbox, designed to match the shape of your feet, offers more space in the toe area and more narrow at your heels. A ground level zipper reduces heat loss while the oversized down stuffed draft tube and Nautilus Hood create a warm snuggly cocoon. Two-way zipper slides, zipper guards and 2 hang loops finish off this great bag. Keep the chilly nights at bay with Marmot's Always Summer 40 Degree Down Sleeping Bag.
Sizing for the Marmot Always Summer 40 Degree Down Sleeping Bag:
I love the feel of this sleeping bag; very soft. Compared to the Kelty Cosmic Down bags this one has a softer feel, which might be due to the nylon fabric Marmot uses. The compressibility of down bags is always nice. I have used this bag along with the Sea to Summit Reactor Thermolite sleeping bag liner in temps dropping to about 50 deg. F., and it kept me warm. Now Granted that how warm one sleeps depends on their metabolism and if they're male or female, along with other factors. For the record, I am a woman with a moderately high metabolism.
Grecia P. Frias
The Always Summer was great for my wife and I as we camped at Mackinaw City, MI. It was mid-low 50s at night and these bags held up great, and kept us warm and toasty! Highly recommended in the conditions we encountered.

Home Prices Dropped in November in Most US Cities
U.S. home prices fell for a third straight month in nearly all cities tracked by a major index. The declines show that most homeowners are not reaping the benefits from some signs of an improving housing market. Prices dropped in November from October in 19 of the 20 cities tracked, according to the Standard & Poor's/Case-Shiller home-price index released Tuesday.

Browsing the web on an iPad doesn't compare to an app experience.
After a few months of owning an iPad I've realized I'm not as fully pleased with it as I have been with other Apple Inc. products.
It's not that the iPad isn't a cool device or lacks great potential. It's that the experience of using an app on the iPad is far better than using the device to browse the Internet with Safari, the built-in web browser. For me, an iPad app is far more engaging than using Safari.
And that is the downfall of the iPad. The browser only displays one site at a time. To go to another site, one has to tap the little icon at the top of the screen and look over a screen of thumbnail images of other open windows. It's just a tedious step when so much of using an iPad is smooth. I'd rather use my desktop to browse at that point.
It's not as if retailers don't see value in apps. According to Forrester Research Inc., 35% of 62 online retailers surveyed for the "State of Retailing Online 2011" report having an iPhone app. But only 15% have an iPad app. Examples abound of noteworthy iPad apps. Amazon, QVC, Rue La La and Zappos are cited in Forrester's research.
I'd prefer using an app to learn about a retailer's products because the app has the ability to let me learn without having to switch between windows. Apps, in my experience, load pages faster than Safari does on my first-generation iPad. The apps make using the iPad, or any tablet, different from using a desktop computer.
That has me wondering why some retailers do not have an iPad app. The cost of developing one likely is a factor, as is knowing if enough customers use tablets to warrant the resource allocation. Perhaps others wonder how to take advantage of a tablet without just mirroring their web sites or mobile phone apps.
I wonder what retailers must think of Apple—the iPad creator known to have a lot of cash, a coveted group of customers and the savvy to understand consumers—not offering an iPad app for its own store. Apple must think that Safari on the iPad is good enough.

Thanks to Amanda for the great massage tonight. Amanda was very thorough upfront reviewing my present health status and discussing any specific areas I wanted to focus on and was outstanding at working through some tight muscles. My only regret is that due to schedule constraints we could only do 60-minutes and not 90! Thanks, Amanda, great job!Skip W

The Bruins may look in a new direction after this season if things don't go well and Lindy Ruff could be a good canidate to replace CJ. Ruff would not be afraid to replace useless coach's like Ward and put some new blood into a team that is flat in too many games this season. Cj is loosing his team and is not very good at incorporating new players into a hard to play Bruins system.
I think he holds back very good Bruins propects and has out lived his time in Boston. The players just don't listen anymore and it is time for change. Cj has been good for his time here but he has not changed with the Bruins new players and his system has been easily figured out by other teams because he is so predicable.
The Bruins are a better team than CJ shows and their game is not being inspired or motivated the way it should be under his system. Players like Looch, Segin amd Horts would be better under a more offensive system and we can all see the results of these good players going to waste under this system. CJ had his time and at the time it was very good but I have to question why good players like Looch, Segin, Horts, Chara, Kelly, Pevs and others have lost their game and CJ can't put a good consistant line up together. Players just don't stop being good players and the Bruins just don't improve on the powerplay unless the coach refuses to change with the players he has, JC will not do that and will not put the players on the ice the Bruins need to score when the time comes.
He has no idea where to play a hall of famer in Jagr in his lineup and with some new blood and possibly more scoring with Soderberg coming in CJ will be more confused. This short season has seen players like Looch and others fall behind some because of no preseason and he has no answer and the the team is disorinted. There is no time to fix this and only the players if they have any heart left can fix it.
If the Bruins can't figure out they have to hit and play hard down low they will be done in the playoffs soon and maybe Management will see the time to bring in a coach like Ruff to this talent moving on is the best for us going forward.

Rated 5 out of 5 by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Secundius "Handi-Cappers Little Helper" I'm handicapped, more precisely wheelchaired bound with some leg mobility. The 91264 Leki Wanderfreund (aka, Migratory Friend) Speedlock Trekking Pole fills the niche just right. And after some minor tweaking to the end of the pole, even better. I choose the the pole for it's compacted size. My choices were either the type of trekking pole wick requires rotating the pole to meet the right height requirement, or, state how much this pole has made my life easier. Without this pole, it would have gone from a one person operation, too, a two persons operation. I gives you a little of your personal dignity back. How much is that Worth Too You!!! April 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jaxx A travel-changer for cane users My Leki has been my primary cane for several years. After "pharmacy" internal-bungee fold-up canes and walking sticks the Leki is a game-changer. Light, tough, soft grip, less noticeable, even with business clothes it's subtly changed public perception of my cane use. Survived jamming in airport X-ray, countless drops, treading upon. People will stop you with questions. Get an extra pack of rubber tips; deep mud/snow sucked one off once, the ice tip wont work on indoor floors. Indispensable. April 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by LindaB Pole Precision This trekking pole is sturdy and offers great ease when adjusting the height with precision. The quality of the materials add confidence.when relying on the pole for balance. I highly recommend this pole. March 7, 2014

Comments On Aug 19, 2013:I've had the TRAX EVO/ALU 45L boxes for well over 25,000 miles and I am very pleased with them. After going through many cloth bags I decided to pull the trigger on them. I do have the TRAX drybags in them and all of my gear stays dry with the combined boxes and internal bags. I've ridden in some torrential downpours and some water gets in (a small amount). The lock system is not bad but I did have to replace one of them about one year later (under warranty). I can fit a lot of gear in both side boxes (keeping weight heavier on the sidestand side for parking stability). The boxes have saved the bike a couple of times from accidental drops. They are a little scraped up but for the mileage I have with them, I've saved money over purchasing cloth bags every year. (I ride 12k per year all season). I highly recommend them if you are a long distance or every day commuter.

|ランド Rando
|Naruto Shippūden Episode #290
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Lando (ランド, Rando) is a young citizen of the Tonika Village.
Lando was a child in Tonika Village before it was attacked. During its destruction, he was rescued by Dokku along with two others before leaving their home and meeting up with Leo and Miina along the way to Hachō Village.
Lando appears to be a more or less average boy with some knowledge of fishing. While he interrupted Leo in order to announce his own part in their fishing success, he stayed out of the argument that followed. He is equally as impressionable as his friends, admiring Naruto's rather basic ability to stand on water and attempting to emulate it repeatedly with Faz and Leo. He shows great love towards his new family, consisting of Miina, Faz, Sora, Leo, Dokku, Shiseru and himself.
Lando is a small boy with short, spiky black hair and round glasses. He wears casual clothings, like a green, short sleeved shirt over a grey t-shirt with black shorts and shoes with pulled up socks.
Part II
Chikara Arc
He, Faz, and Leo are fishing and due to Lando's knowledge, Leo manages to fill a whole bucket with fish. During the conflict between Leo and Faz, he remained silent and is seen surprised by Miina's melody she created with a wooden sticcado. They later flee from Naruto and Sakura, but are relieved when Naruto manages to save Dokku and Miina from falling down a bridge. They later prepare a meal and take a bath afterwards. Lando is as surprised as Leo and Faz by Naruto's ability to walk on water and tries with the other two to perform this technique as well. Anyway, they gave up after many failed attempts. He is later seen sleeping peacefully with the other four.
The next day, he and the other kids push a sick-looking Naruto to train them. At the beach of Hachō Village, he, Sora and Faz mourn about their families, but are happy as well when Naruto notes that there are indeed people who take care of them, referring to Shiseru and Dokku. He is shocked as the rest when Shiseru slaps Miina after the latter didn't stop to bother Naruto. When Disonasu and the Tonika Village Head appeared, he is disturbed as the rest after finding out the latter is just brought back to life. Reinforcements arrive from Konohagakure, giving Dokku and Shiseru enough time to bring the children to safety. After Kabuto and his forces retreat, Shiseru brings them home, where they sit stunned for several hours, until Faz breaks the silence by starting to cry about Dokku, who was kidnapped by Kabuto. Lando and the others also start crying, until Leo calms down and encourages them to save Dokku by themselves.

fargone wrote:AqvasFire2 wrote:fargone wrote:Why you no like refess?
Did they beat you once?
Fargs, did you even read it? Would you support any of those stat changes? None of them actually add any more stats to the unit in question. You think I'm joking, don't you? Well, I'm not. I'd like quite a few of those changes (aside from the ref ones for obvious raisins).
If you laugh, why do you laugh? All I'm doing is giving other SP generator units that really have the rest of their attributes made irrelevant by the fact that their only role is to gen SP the Miffyre treatment, AKA put everything into HP. What's wrong with that?
If I am reading you correctly, you want level 1-3's to be on par in power with level 4's now. You also want all of them to function like 4 star refess characters because they are sp generators. Never mind their rarity or sphere, they should all be the same. Please tell me why I should not laugh at this?
If I am to assume I am reading you correctly, then I put to you a simple question. Why not just make all cards like bringer, in spite of level, and be done with it. That way, they can all be the same. We could even just put the same pictures on them if you like, and make them all 5 stars.
I am constantly amused by this game's reaction to refess when they can actually win games with any consistency. The cries and whining become endless until nerfs are forced, refess goes back to being underdog, and the squeeky wheels can sit comfortably in the knowledge they can beat at least one whole sphere most of the time.
I think you need to drink a cup of concrete and harden up a little.

No, fargs, I just want their stats to receive the same treatment. Miffles also locks out great spirits and EN's utility. She also generates SP on auto. The one proposal I made was to give the rest of the SP-generating (and depleting) crew relevant stats. Not auto SP gen. Not locking out utility units. None of that, which Miff has above and beyond everyone else.
And why not make all cards like Bringer? Oh hey, look at that new Verlaat...

- The Print
- The Artist
In "Marilyn Monroe," Andy Warhol (1923 – 1987) merged art with the culture of mass production by creating vivid turquoise, mint green, fuchsia and lemon yellow multiples of her image. During the four months following Marilyn Monroe's death, Pop Art founder Warhol made 20 silkscreened paintings of her based on a publicity photo from the film "Niagara." Fascinated by death and the cult of celebrity, Warhol generated brash, assembly-line paintings of Monroe symbolizing the mortal behind the myth, and her widespread presence in the media.
© Art.com
Andy Warhol's pioneering Pop Art defined a decade and a culture, distinguishing him as one of the most influential, creative and prolific artists of the 20th century. Originally the most sought-after commercial artist in New York, Warhol (1923 – 1987) is most known for his multiple images of Campbell's Soup cans, Coke bottles, dollar bills and celebrities, which exalted the beauty within ordinary objects and familiar images. Working out of a studio called The Factory, he invented the silkscreening process which enabled him to mass produce a single image in his signature style. Warhol was also a talented filmmaker, music producer, commercial illustrator, author and magazine publisher.

Recent news reports have claimed ground beef is treated with ammonia and other chemicals. With many people wondering if their beef is safe, we spoke to Dr. James Dickson, Iowa State University, about this "pink slime" and its implications.
What is "lean finely textured beef?"
Dr. Dickson: "Lean finely textured beef is lean beef that is taken from trim (the part of the beef carcass that comes after you cut off the steaks and the roasts, etc.), and is used mainly for hamburger. The particular type of trim that goes into lean finely textured beef has a very high fat content. So normally, there would be no way to recover the lean beef out of these trimmings. This process is an efficient way of separating out the lean muscle tissue from the fat. The end result is a product called lean finely textured beef, which is about 95 percent lean beef.
"Lean finely textured beef is a good description of exactly what it is. It's beef. When people come up with these other terms, like 'pink slime,' it is not accurate. Some stories have said this meat is unfit for human consumption, but that is not accurate, either. It is meat that has come from USDA-inspected operations. It is not sludge. It is meat that without being processed would go to waste. Yes, lean finely textured beef is produced at a lower cost. But the bottom line is that it is beef."
How is it processed?
Dr. Dickson: "The trimmings are brought back up to approximately 100 degrees F, which is close to the body temperature of live cattle. It then goes through a series of separators – some of which are centrifugal in nature – similar to the processes in dairy operations that separate the cream from the skim milk. The end result is that is separates out the fat."
Why is it treated with ammonium hydroxide?
Dr. Dickson: "Using ammonium hydroxide is a very specific process that was developed by Beef Products, Inc., to make beef safer. It is used as a gas. It is not a liquid and it's not a spray. It's actually injected as a gas into the meat, while the meat is being processed. The gas actually kills a lot of the harmful bacteria that could be present. It's important to remember that meat isn't sterile. And no matter what we do, meat will never be sterile, so using this gas is a benefit to food safety and improves the safety of the lean finely textured beef."
Is this process of using ammonium hydroxide safe?
Dr. Dickson: "Yes, it's safe. This process went through a very extensive review by USDA. It went through the same type of review that any other process proposed to USDA would go through. The process was approved about 20 years ago, so this isn't something new, this is something that went through rigorous review and was approved by USDA."
What's the difference between household ammonia and ammonium hydroxide?
Dr. Dickson: "In this process, ammonium hydroxide is injected as a gas, and the gas dissipates out of the product. There are videos of liquid ammonium being poured into ground beef. This is not at all an accurate representation of the processes that use ammonium hydroxide. It is not even close. This process refers to gas being injected into the product. The residual ammonium is well below the maximum level that USDA set. No meat processing practices use liquid ammonium directly added to or sprayed on the product."
What about other chemicals in meat? Should we be concerned about those chemicals?
Dr. Dickson: "These chemicals are processing aids, and they are used in extremely small quantities. And they are not used in all meat products. Some chemicals have very specific uses for certain types of products. The USDA definition of processing aid is something that's used in such a small quantity that it doesn't leave a residue beyond a certain limit. When chemicals are used in meat processing, they are used at very low levels.
"Organic acids such as acetic acid, lactic acid, and citric acid are other common solutions used on meat products. These are naturally-occurring acids and help keep meat safe.
"Each chemical has a very specific application. For example, antimicrobials are used to kill specific microorganisms that might make people sick. They are approved for specific products in very specific amounts, and there are only certain applications for them. Again, we use them because meat isn't sterile. And no matter what we do, meat will never be sterile, and an antimicrobial makes it safer."

For reference, here are two videos - one from Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution where the phrase "pink slime" was created, and a response video from BPI (the company which developed the process) discussing how lean finely textured beef comes to be.

ALUMNI Service
to Marquette Award
Keith G. Myers, Bus Ad '62, Grad '68
When life's going well, it's easy to know how to respond. But what do you do when things go suddenly, horribly wrong? A devastating personal loss forced this question upon Keith Myers. Helping people find the answer became his mission.
After decades of success in corporate management, Keith was ready to retire. But fate intervened. In the space of a year, he suffered the loss of six loved ones: his father, his mother-in-law and four cousins and friends. Then came a seventh death — his wife, Charlene.
Suddenly retirement, with its countless hours of idle contemplation, didn't seem so attractive. Instead, he went back to work, but with a new focus. A friend, director David Bojorquez, was filming a DVD series about grief and healing called Journey of Loss … Discovery of Hope. Keith joined the project.
In a time of intense personal grief, he says, it was good to be able to focus on something "that's going to be productive and helpful for others, in honor of the people I've lost."
He also honored the memory of his wife by establishing a Marquette scholarship to help others handle the tough questions of life. The Keith G. and Charlene V. Myers Ethics Scholarship, open to students in any major, funds an ethics minor designed to give students the tools for informed, ethical decision-making.
"There are truths," Keith says. "You need to understand them, understand why you believe in them and how they guide your responses. It's the opposite of situational ethics."
Further aiding the study of morality and ethics at Marquette, Keith provides the funding for the university's annual Edward D. Simmons Lecture on Society and Human Values. Now in its eighth year, the lecture tackles ethical questions, says Keith, such as stem cell research, cloning and end-of-life decision-making, as well as other subjects like ethics in journalism.
As for his new career in movie making, Keith took it slowly at first. Coming so soon after his wife's death, working on the grief DVD project "was a bit overwhelming," he says. "I didn't think I could handle it emotionally."
He eased his way in, starting as a consultant and eventually becoming a full partner with Bojorquez in the production company Vision4Media.
"Part of my role in the DVD series was to walk with people who had suffered a loss after we interviewed them," Myers says. "I'd walk in the garden with them and offer them a chance to have a talk and a cry."
He adds, "Some of those walks were pretty long."
Myers also helped with editing the film and developing a booklet on grief that was included with the DVD. The DVD has become a popular training tool for bereavement specialists in hospitals, hospices and the funeral industry. Cemeteries also have used it as an after-care gift to families who have buried a loved one.
"It's not a real moneymaker," Myers says of the award-winning video, "but it has helped a lot of people."
Beyond filmmaking, Myers helped found 2SenseWorth, a charity to enrich the lives of children in need. He also has served on the Marquette University Alumni Association National Board of Directors and in other leadership positions for the Marquette Club of Southern California, with which he is extremely active.
"My grandfather taught me to look for the good in others," he says. "Marquette taught those same things — the Jesuit ideal of the respect and dignity of every human being because we all have God in us."

- Title
- Calibration of colloid probe cantilevers using the dynamic viscous response of a confined liquid
- Author(s)
- Notley, Shannon M.; Biggs, Simon; Craig, Vincent S. J.
- Abstract
- A method to determine the spring constant of colloid probe cantilevers used in atomic force microscopes (AFM) was described. The method entailed coupling, by viscous interactions, the oscillatory drive applied to the substrate to the colloid probe. The spring constant of the cantilever was then determined using the dynamic response of the probe.

Football is one of the most popular sports in America. And if you love sitting down with your baby to watch it every Sunday night during the season, then you'll love sitting down to watch it with your baby when he or she is dressed in the Football Infant Bunting Costume. With a bunting that looks like a large football, and a brown cap, this is a great way to get your child started early on a love for the sport. Get yourself a football player costume for Halloween, and carry your little guy around as both your child, and the best accessory for any costume ever. Your child may be a bit confused, but he'll certainly be comfortable in his great costume. Watch the Superbowl with him wearing it, and maybe he'll bring your team good luck.

"Simply the best book available on Olympic weightlifting."
Don Weideman, Vice President, Pacific Weightlifting Association
"Without a doubt the best book on the market today about Olympic-style weightlifting."
Mike Burgener, USA Weightlifting senior international coach
"Outstanding, Accurate, and Concise! A must read for athletes and coaches involved in the movements."
Daniel Camargo, USA Weightlifting International Coach; President, Florida Weightlifting Federation.
"Everett's Olympic Weightlifting text is one of the best instructional books for the sport to be published in years. This is a must have for every weightlifting/strength and conditioning coach's library shelf."
Bob Takano, Member USA Weightlifting Hall of Fame
"Everett's book is one of the most accessible and comprehensive weightlifting sources available for the coach and athlete today. I particularly like its linear approach to the subject and its easy to understand layman's language. From a beginner to an experienced practitioner, there is a whole compendium of the essential material necessary to understand and to implement a weightlifting plan that is correct and results oriented. I highly recommend this book for every serious strength coach or weightlifting practitioner."
John Thrush, Head Coach Calpians Weightlifting

Greg took material that has been discussed for decades by many many great coaches and authors and managed to present it with a clarity that has rarely, if ever, been achieved. I don't care how many years you have coached, or how many lifters you have coached, no one is going to read this book without coming across a few passages that make a light-bulb go off in his head. Greg has a way of taking material that has been argued and discussed to death, and presenting it in such a clear way that it makes you wonder why anything else ever had to be written or said."
Glenn Pendlay
"Anyone from a raw beginner to the elite level competitor will find something new in this book every time they open its pages. Everett's strengths are his attention to detail and intelligent, accessible progressions. You will love this book, and it will never end up at the used bookstore."
Robb Wolf, NorCal Strength & Conditioning
"My expectations were very high but still wildly surpassed. The only downside is that this book has made the bulk of my training library obsolete."
-Rob McBee, CrossFit Camas
"Excellent book and should be required reading for all CrossFitters!"
-Steve Rakow, CrossFit Ocean City

Rebranding, merging and relocations....the eternal sin? Why not Salford City Reds to Manchester Reds?
Posted 28 November 2012 - 09:25 PM
One of the main arguments that a fan of a said club will use not to Merge/Rebrand/Relocate is 'tradition', well history has proved that some of the top sporting clubs in England have done one of the three prior to becoming bigger sporting entities, examples.....
Newcastle United
Started as Stanley Football Club, Was renamed Newcastle East End, Merged with Rosewood FC of Byker, Merged with Newcastle West End their biggest North East rivals to then become Newcastle United.
Manchester United
Started as Newton Heath, playing in green and gold was taken over by a local consortium and then became Manchester United
Started as Dial Square playing in Woolwich, South London, was renamed Royal Arsenal and then Woolwich Arsenal. Afterwards moved to North London and finally became the Arsenal that we see now.
Liverpool FC
Was initially called Everton Athletic and then eventually Liverpool F.C.
Rugby League success story: Catalan Dragons
Born out of a merger between X111 Catalan and St.Esteve, two local rivals
My point.....that mergers, relocations and rebranding is a part of the history of british sport, the 4 biggest sporting enitities have each gone through this process and rugby league clubs shouldn't be afriad of this......
Now Salford area proud club with a proud tradition but they have been poorly managed and have missed out on the opportunity to maximise opportunities from the stadium move and now look like being overshadowed by Sale, what they need is for a new investor to come in spend money on the club and rename them Manchester Reds, they have great potential but a lack of vision is there....nothing wrong with a name change or two......from a London Broncos( Harlequins RL, Crusaders) supporter.

Examples of a successful move to a different city in the 21st century are thin on the ground.
MK Dons / AFC Wimbledon spring to mind. They are almost in the same division these days.
Posted 28 November 2012 - 11:18 PM
So there is no evidence that it would be a massive failure to try it now, interesting. Thanks for your perspective.
All the examples of success in the UK were in the 19th or early 20th century and involved moving from one part of a city to another part (if there was a move at all).

Posted 29 November 2012 - 10:29 AM
While a name change certainly won't happen whilst Salford City Council has any say in the matter, a massive reason why the current mess has arisen is a flawed safe-seat political dynamic, mixed in with a big dose of incompetence, egotism and short-sightedness of a handful of key individuals. They have got carried away with themselves and lost touch with reality. The end result may yet be deeply ironic.
Posted 29 November 2012 - 12:45 PM
don'nt the manchester storm & giants own british record attendances for their respective sports while they existed in the last 1990's?
Possibly, but then both were unable to maintain the crowds and they crashed and burnt.
There is so much wrong with the idea that a simple name change will attract crowds and investment.
Posted 29 November 2012 - 12:52 PM
I agree with rebranding in certain instances but not this.
Lilly, Jacob and Isaac, what my life is about. Although our route through life is not how it should be, I am a blessed man.

Then merged two years Later with Crescent Football Club , , We adopted the ' Reds ' Moniker on the Advent of Super League in 1995 & added 'City ' four years later.
Name changes ultimately count for little unless partnered with a big marketing exercise and plenty of dosh, and risks alienating more fans than may be attracted by any brand changes .
Salford's periods of success have been at times when they have had the funding to attract the best players and/or the best coaching .
Recently we've had some good players but duff managers , and now we've got a good coaching team and are scraping the RL barrel for playing staff , at no time have we had good management , Players and enough cash to successfully promote , if we had all three , the name would be immaterial .
Posted 29 November 2012 - 05:23 PM
They were made to revert back to Sale after our friends Manchester RFC got a bit cheesed off.
Weren't Sale called Manchester Sale for a season or two. Didn't seem to do them any good and not sure just sticking Manchester on the front will cure the problems.

City Grit is not a restaurant and not an underground supper club. So, what is it? And how do you find out what's cooking? And most importantly, how do you join the party?
City Grit is the brainchild of Sarah Simmons, a North Carolina native, recently named one of America's Greatest New Cooks by Food and Wine Magazine. She launched City Grit in 2011, in the heart of NoLita, NYC, as a culinary salon that brings both well known and lesser known chefs to the basement kitchen of an old brick schoolhouse to strut their stuff. Guests dine at tables on the first floor of the schoolhouse which serves as a showroom for handcrafted furniture by day and morphs into informal dining areas by night.

First of all, as of now, August 1st, the rights to Alteil has reverted back to its original developers – a company called Core Edge. They were a small online gaming company founded by fans of gaming that was acquired, merged and passed around until they ended up as a part of monolithic gaming company Gamepot. Recently, Core Edge was re-formed with its original staff, and now they once again have Alteil, so the fate of Alteil JP and Alteil US is in their hands.
There's a lot more to the story, and the details on the future of Alteil US are coming soon. However, GGG and I had our August 1st Alteil-related plans delayed due to another big launch we had to manage…
July 31st at 1:25 AM EST, a healthy baby boy was born to GaoGaiGirl and Logress. His GM name will be Lil' Bringer, mostly because he has such a powerful Open Skill. (I guess you had to be there… no, no wait… it's probably best that you weren't).
A big thanks to all our supporters, friends and well-wishers. We'll be back on track with Alteil soon, but right now we just spent a lot of SP getting this little guy on the field. (Mental note, next time put an Owl Sage in the Labor Overnight Bag.)

Theater Review: Logger's big heart kills P.C.By Jim Lowe
Staff Writer | December 15,2013Jim Lowe / Staff photo
Rusty DeWees and saxophonist Zach Trepanier, a high school student from West Rutland, perform in The Loggers Holiday Variety Show 2013.P.C. is dead. Political correctness died an ugly and hilarious death Friday at the hands of Rusty DeWees in his alter-ego as The Logger.
It was at The Loggers Holiday Variety Show 2013 at South Burlington High School that the Stowe comedian and entertainer broke virtually every taboo in the book to a most appreciative audience from teens to seniors.
Joined by some particularly fine Vermont musicians, DeWees made this fast-paced variety show the best annual Logger holiday show yet. The show moves to Stowe next, Dec. 27 and 28 at Stowe High School, and Dec. 31 at Spruce Peak Performing Arts Center, then on to Rutlands Paramount Theatre Jan. 17-18 (postponed from Nov. 29-30 due to DeWees laryngitis).
DeWees has been one of Vermonts most popular entertainers since starring in Vermont Repertory Theaters touring production of David Budbills Judevine. He turned his character of the French-Canadian logger Antoine, the foul-mouthed saint, into a comic character.
Over the years, DeWees developed the character and a variety show around him, as well as a merchandising business.
As a comedian, DeWees has always had the ability to tell the most offensive jokes and, because of his warm heart and glee at pushing his audience just a tad, ends up offending nearly no one.
In this new show, he takes that a step further, skewering just about everyone: Jews, Muslims, Catholics and Evangelical Christians; gays, lesbians and straights; sex and lack of; Democrats and Republicans, conservatives and liberals; Vermonters and flatlanders even nursing homes and their inhabitants.
And its just wonderful. Because The Logger loves them all.
DeWees not only writes his own material, he delivers it with passion, speed and glee. Fridays performance was about the tightest likely heard from a standup comedian anywhere. And if a joke falls flat, he either moves quickly to the next or gives the audience hell for not responding as it should.
DeWees is also an accomplished musician, a fine drummer, a passable guitarist and an excellent theater singer and brings on as collaborators even better musicians.
New this year is Newbury fiddler Patrick Ross, who proved to be much more. Not only did he deliver fast-paced traditional fiddling with flair, he used a classical violin technique to accompany the others, from country to hip-hop to opera.
Indicative of DeWees support of youth, singer Keeghan Nolan, who had been on the show as a teen, returned to perform original country songs with her deep sultry mezzo.
Zach Trepanier, a West Rutland high school student, proved a fine saxophonist, as well as a good sport as butt to The Loggers jokes.
Rounding out the music section was a veteran of the show, guitarist and singer Tracy Lord, who proved a consummate pro.
Audience participation is always the wild card in Logger shows participants take a big chance on being embarrassed. Joanne Barton, a high school senior from St. Albans, proved a brave soul and joined DeWees Uncle Furmon for a reading of a Cajun version of Twas the Night Before Christmas.
Uncle Furmon even aimed a very un-P.C. barb at the girls of St. Albans. Instead of being offended, Barton joined the audience in hysterical laughter. For its impossible to be offended or angry at the big heart of The Logger.

The underlying problem in our society is more complex than just a cabinet reshuffle. Additional points relate to the role of the Controller and Auditor General's (CAG) office in advising ministries, departments and agencies (MDs) as custodian of public resources.
It's not very clear to what extent this good office should go to advise MDAs on how to prevent the misuse of resources so that it doesn't not only wait to report about such weaknesses at the end of each fiscal year.
I am particularly concerned about the ability of internal audit systems, which in essence, if well established, should go a long way to preventing the occurrence and recurrence of such fraud. Prevention is better than cure: and so I wonder to what extend our permanent secretaries are administratively and legally empowered to decline approving suspect expenditures or detecting the occurrence of fraud.
Do existing financial regulations empower permanent secretaries (PSs), district executive directors ( DEDs) or regional administrative secretaries ( RASs) to take corrective actions, including suspending any officer suspected of committing fraud? And how should the DED handle cases where councillors connive to defend a thieving officer?
I recall several occasions on which President Kikwete asked district executive officers and chairpersons of district Councils why they were not taking to court officials implicated in the embezzlement of funds. Perhaps we need to re-examine the operational powers vested in the office of the district executive director.
Do we need to give more powers to PSs and DEDs to instill discipline in resource management? Perhaps they need to have some protection against victimisation by elected leaders who get upset when the officers strictly follow established procedures. Perhaps PSs and DEDs should be appointed on result-based contracts with security of tenure?
As you can see, the security of tenure given to the CAG has given him the confidence of revealing his findings without fear or favour. I suspect that most PSs would like to be as bold as the CAG, but tend to have a second thought for fear of receiving veiled threats on their positions from their ministers or deputy ministers.
Another way of reducing misuse of funds is through a well capacitated devolution of powers and responsibilities tied to a reward-and-penalty system. This approach was proposed and adopted by the Local Government Reform Programme where qualification to access capitation grants would be pegged to performance ratings in he previous year's budget.
The idea was that if funds are misappropriated, then that district should be penalised by withholding further funds. That way our councillors were supposed to be more vigilant, or at least desist from temptations to bless misuse or abuse of public funds for personal gain.
Unfortunately, our parliamentarians didn't support this approach, arguing that their voters shouldn't be made to suffer because of the misdeeds of public servants! It was like saying they didn't trust the councilors to seriously take to task mischievous government officials and that the voters were not likely to use district or town councils' financial performance as a yardstick for voting out councillors who failed to properly supervise public resources.
I know that some extra work will be needed to build the capacity of organs below the district council, say at the ward and village levels, in order to ensure proper accountability of public resources.
I have first-hand experience in Uganda where I supervised funds allocation directly to what they call sub-county level (the equivalent of wards in Tanzania). The results in those pilot areas were amazing as village leaders ensured that funds were properly utilized.
Of course, there never was a lack of greedy district level officials who either purposefully delayed disbursement of funds or approached village leaders to forge documents! This brings me to a third point in the whole ward against public misuse of funds - that of morality and ethics in our society.
However hard we try to put up systems and institutions to prevent and fight corruption, it is as helpless as 'pounding water', as the Swahili say, if the society at large doesn't frown upon ill-gotten riches.
We have to critically re-examine ourselves to understand where we went wrong to the extent that those who are upright are regarded by their peers as "not sharp enough" or outright stupid. Several reference persons will be cited how they "cleverly" used this or that trick and were therefore well off compared to this "stupid" officer who worked so diligently and retired a materially poor person!
But I believe there is a way out of the mess we are in as a nation. What is needed is political will to support administrative and legal interventions at all levels of the society. As we know, the cancer of dishonesty has not spared any part of the social fabric: from the farmer adding pebbles or water to increase the weight of cotton (to counteract the effects of adjusted weighing machines by dishonest clerks), to middlemen who produce buyers (madalali) insisting on "lumbesa" type of bags whose weight is above 150kg instead of the standard 100kg and inflated multimillion-shilling infrastructure projects.
I am confident that we can collectively correct this anomaly if our leaders, irrespective of party ideologies, agree to come together and solve the problem. We have dedicated people in this country who can sort out the mess if given the necessary political, legal and moral support by our political and opinion leaders, including the media.

Hey Cantor: how about a freaking jobs bill? This will be the 37th time the GOP a-holes have tried to repeal the Affordable Care Act.
Wasn't it Einstein who said: "the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results"?
ObamaCare repeal vote next week in House
By Sam Baker - 05/08/13 08:27 PM ET
In a nod to the right, House Republican leaders will once again seek to repeal President Obamas healthcare law next week.
The decision, announced Wednesday by House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.), represents a shift by top Republicans in the lower chamber.
After the 2012 election, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said ObamaCare is the law of the land while Cantor indicated Republicans should torpedo parts of the health overhaul.
But conservative rank-and-file members balked, saying freshman GOP members should have the opportunity to vote on a full repeal measure. Republican leaders agreed.
The floor vote next week could help Cantor and Republican leaders move forward with a stalled bill that would seek to revise a portion of the Affordable Care Act. That legislation, opposed by the White House and some conservatives, was pulled from the floor because it didnt have the votes.
The repeal vote could give some on the right political cover to back the ObamaCare fix bill, which is opposed by Club for Growth. But it might not be enough.
The repeal bill is not going anywhere in a Democratic-controlled Senate. Democrats quickly accused the GOP of wasting time on debates that have been settled by the election. Next weeks vote will be the 37th time House Republicans have voted to repeal all or part of the health law.
Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.) last month said freshmen should get the chance to support full repeal before casting votes that could be seen by constituents as fixing the law.
Mulvaney said Wednesday that hes glad to see another repeal vote on the schedule. The vote could make it easier for freshmen to support narrower bills repealing specific parts of the law, such as its unpopular tax on medical devices or its Medicare cost-cutting board.
You have to go home and explain you voted to get rid of the medical device tax, but why havent you voted to repeal the whole thing? he said.
Republicans have struggled since Obamas reelection to find the right message on healthcare.
Many conservatives have taken an all-or-nothing approach to repeal, despite the practical impossibility of scrapping the whole law while Obama is in the White House.
Leadership, meanwhile, initially looked for a way to keep up the pressure on Democrats without appearing to be stuck in the political battles of 2010. But that tack didnt fly, forcing Boehner and Cantor to pivot.
Tension in the GOP Conference was on full display in April when Cantor backed a bill to increase funding for the health laws high-risk insurance pools by cutting its fund for prevention programs.
Cantor subsequently postponed the vote, sparking more headlines of divisiveness among House GOP lawmakers.
Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.) said another repeal vote wont change his mind about the ObamaCare fix bill.
No, I dont think we ought to return to a bill that would expand parts of ObamaCare, whether or not we have the vote next week on full repeal, he said. The principle is the same: Do you want more federal government involvement in healthcare or less? And I dont think it would be appropriate to return to that bill.
Mulvaney also said he wont support the Cantor bill if it comes back up after the repeal vote, although he said some lawmakers might come around.
I think it might pick up [support from] people who want to vote for it, Mulvaney said.
Cantors office has said it is still discussing the best way forward on the measure but did not respond to questions about whether it would return to the floor soon.

Arik Soong
this wiki
Arik Soong was a brilliant doctor of genetics in the 22nd century. He believed that Humanity's abandonment of genetic engineering after the Eugenics Wars was a mistake, and hoped to show that genetically engineered Humans would not necessarily become tyrants like Khan Noonien Singh. He argued that the source of the problem wasn't, in fact, the technology, but Humanity's own inability to use it wisely.
Soong was the senior medical director at Cold Station 12 in the 2130s. While there, he stole a group of Augment embryos, raising them on Trialas IV. He traded for goods and supplies with the Orion Syndicate so he could provide for his "children," but he was captured ten years later in 2144, and imprisoned. On occasion, Soong would attempt to escape. Once he programmed a PADD to open every security door in the prison and made it as far as Sausalito.
In 2154, Dr. Soong was "recruited" by Captain Jonathan Archer of the Enterprise NX-01 to help capture his children, who had hijacked a Klingon Bird-of-Prey and killed its crew. When Captain Archer arrived at his detainment cell, Dr. Soong demonstrated his genius. Among the reams of paper on the floor and those pages pinned to the walls of his prison, all regarding DNA sequences, he highlighted research on modification of the T-cell that would cure Sharat Syndrome as well as work toward a five percent increase to the Human visual spectrum. Soong explained he was not allowed standard record-keeping equipment, since he was able to modify a simple PADD to open every lock in the prison. Apparently, he would make such astounding discoveries in genetic engineering only to have the papers destroyed by the guards.
When Enterprise was attacked by Orion interceptors, the Orions abducted nine of Enterprise's crewmembers, including Commander T'Pol. The crewmembers were taken to Verex III, to an Orion processing station where they were auctioned off as slaves. Soong was able to lead the starship to Verex III, where he used an old authorization code so Archer could enter the auction area. He helped Archer in freeing the prisoners by deactivating their neurolytic restraints. During the chaos that followed the freeing of the crewmembers, Soong attempted to escape by deactivating a subdermal transponder he had implanted in him, but he was eventually recaptured by Archer.
When the Augments came to talk to Enterprise, the Augment Malik took Archer hostage as the rest of the Augments broke into Enterprise's brig and released Soong. Soong escaped Archer's custody and began his work with the Augments once again. (ENT: "Borderland") Soong led the Augments to Cold Station 12, which held about 1,800 Augment embryos left over from the Eugenics Wars. He gave orders to the Augments that the capture of the station and freeing of the embryos was to be done without any killing.
Although Soong was considered a father to the Augments, he and Malik, the leader of the Augments, did not see eye-to-eye concerning the use of force. When Malik killed one of the station's personnel to get the codes to open the embryo chamber, Soong was shocked. (ENT: "Cold Station 12") Soong's relationship with Malik became increasingly hostile, and Malik began to question Soong's leadership. Soong found out that the Augments intended to fire torpedoes loaded with pathogens stolen from Cold Station 12 at a Klingon colony, which they hoped would start a war between the Klingons and Humans. Conversely, Malik was upset to discover that Soong had decided to manipulate the DNA of the embryos to make them less violent. Malik removed Soong from command and had him confined to quarters.
With the help of Persis, another one of the Augments, Soong left the ship in an escape pod and was retrieved by Enterprise. Not wishing to see his children commit mass murder, he assisted Captain Archer in stopping the Augments. Afterward, Malik destroyed the Bird-of-Prey, but not before covertly beaming aboard Enterprise and attempting to kill Soong, but Archer managed to shoot Malik through the torso with a particle rifle.
Soong was returned to prison to serve out his sentence, and gave up his work with genetics, which Archer told him had actually been stored for posterity, deciding instead to embark on other studies, this time concentrating on artificial life. (ENT: "The Augments")
In late 2154, the Klingons encountered a crisis when they attempted to create Klingon augments by using Augment DNA left over from an Augment attack on, and destruction of, the stolen Klingon Bird-of-Prey. A plan to kidnap Soong was abandoned when the Klingons discovered that he was too heavily guarded. (ENT: "Affliction")
Arik Soong is actually correct in believing that not all genetically engineered humans would turn out like Khan Noonien Singh. A good example of theory would be Dr. Julian Bashir who was also genetically engineered.
Background information
Arik Soong was played by Brent Spiner, best known for playing Data on Star Trek: The Next Generation. Comments by production staff (and the casting of Spiner) indicated that Arik Soong was intended to be the great-grandfather of Noonian Soong, Data's creator (also played by Spiner). This is supported by Arik Soong's comment about cybernetics, when he said that developing an artificial lifeform "might take a generation or two." While writing his notes, it can be noted that Arik Soong is left-handed, just like his great-grandson, and his android creations.
In the Star Trek: Typhon Pact novel Paths of Disharmony, the works of Arik Soong were secretly reopened as part of the Federation initiative to resolve the ongoing procreation crisis suffered by the Andorian people.
His mirror universe counterpart appeared in the novella Age of the Empress.
