"It all started with the Strat because I was reading an article with Stevie Ray Vaughn a long time ago and the number 1959 stuck out to me for some reason. So I started searching those out as the band got more popular and I could actually afford one, and I found [this] one in Los Angeles. That is what introduced me to the whole world, the 1959s. My first '59 I got it because I had read somewhere an article with Stevie Ray Vaughn and he was into '59 Strats, and I was - was and still am - very much into his playing. Luckily I got to see Stevie four times when he was alive, in Seattle. He played at a crazy place in Everett. He played there, he played the Paramount and then the Gorge twice so I got to see him all four times... But that's why I got this guitar. I've used it on Even Flow consistently for years - over 10 years, 15 years probably. I've been mixing it up a little bit lately, but this one's the one I use mostly. I use this on 'Yellow Ledbetter', I use this I think for the Star Spangled Banner when I do it. I use it on a lot of stuff. It's one of my go-to guitars, though, for sure. For leads, it's really easy to play. And it's worn in and the neck is totally amazing. It's just trashed - in a good way! That's the beauty of it. That's what I love about it."more
He was using it on some concertsmore
In 1961 he got his first Fender Stratocaster the guitar he has been identified with for most of his career. His infatuation with the Strat was directly inspired by his idol, Ritchie Valens: "I saw the picture on the cover of his first album, and he had a Stratocaster. I didn't know what it was, but I knew I had to have one."more
Was after something with the look of Mike Mccreadys 1959 no. 1 Strat. Got this and got it relic'd. Plays amazingly, sounds fantastic. Love it!

Talk:MSI Wind U100
From ArchWiki
I've got a question and a proposition. Are there among us users of other Wind models? If so, maybe it would be good to consider one of the following documentation strategies:
- create one article for all Wind models, named e.g "MSI Wind",
- create "MSI Wind" article as a table of contents and add articles about particular Wind models.
The thing is, there are/can be differences between various Winds that are/would be worth to be noted. How do you think?

Keyboard support in early userspace
I recently installed Arch on my U100 and by default I didn't have keyboard input in early userspace. Adding the 'keyboard' hook or the 'atkbd' to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf helped. Maybe it is worth mentioning here?

8 pets saved from burning home in west Phoenix
PHOENIX - Crews were called out to a house fire in west Phoenix and they ended up making a life-saving discovery.
According to officials, firefighters from Glendale and Phoenix worked together to save the two-story home near 43rd Avenue and Camelback Road from burning and rescued eight animals.
Authorities say owners weren't there at the time of the fire and crews were able to save a majority of the home and the owners' personal belongings.
The home owner tells us her daughter and "Gizzy," a Chihuahua-Pomeranian mix, along with other dogs, were inside the home when the upstairs bedroom caught fire.
Crews easily found all of the dogs, except Gizzy. They eventually located her in the room where the fire started. They say she was hiding in the ashes.
The family believes the fire may have been electrical. But right now, they're just thankful to the fire crews who helped saved their family.
3 YO "Gizzy," covered soot after surviving a house fire. 7 other dogs also saved at the scene. #fox10phoenix #azwx pic.twitter.com/d7Z5SQwiOX— Kristy Siefkin Fox10 (@KristySFox10) January 25, 2017

Time for tennis in Westmeath
Glebe House €595k
The sum of money required to build the Glebe House in Rathowen, Co Westmeath, was calculated and recorded down to the last farthing - literally.
Samuel Lewis's Topographical Dictionary of Ireland describes it as having been built in 1817 at a cost of 461 pounds, 10 shillings, nine pence and a farthing. Sadly, history has not recorded what the farthing paid for, or what egregious loss the building might have suffered without it.
At any rate, the money was well spent, as the rector of the parish of Rathaspick ended up with an august Georgian house, now standing on two-and-a-half acres complete with a yard of lovely limestone outbuildings, an orchard, and a raised tennis court.
In more recent times it's been a guesthouse, which means it has modern domestic comforts such as oil-fired central heating and en-suite bathrooms in all five bedrooms. There are still plenty of period features though, including ornate ceiling plasterwork, fireplaces and original wood floors.
The five bedrooms are all upstairs, leaving the ground floor free for a plethora of reception rooms. The main one is a drawing room with a Kilkenny marble fireplace and French doors giving onto the patio. There's also a library with built-in bookcases and another marble fireplace, as well as a sitting room with exposed ceiling beams and a gas-equipped fireplace, and a dining room off.
The kitchen has an 18ft ceiling and an oil-fired Aga, and off it there's both a scullery and a delph room, complete with hunting hooks.
Outside, the orchard has fig, plum, apple, pear and cherry trees, as well as fruit bushes including strawberries and raspberries. The stable block includes an apartment in the loft that now needs refurbishment.
The agent is Property Partners McDonnell (044) 933 3333 and the asking price is €595,000.

Review of the Pimsleur Method
"Language Teachers hate him…"
"The secret to learning a language in only 10 days!!.."
"literally fools your brain into learning…."
Sensational claims made by The Pimsleur Approach's advertisers have lurked awkwardly and often eerily on the sidelines of linguistics articles, blogs and other language related web pages for years. Appearing in much the same fashion as the advertisements for University of Phoenix, Christian Mingle, and Viagra, these astounding claims can seem like the miracle cure to some aspiring language learners, travelers of the world, international businessfolk and curious students seeking an ever easier method of procuring new languages.
But is it really the most effective? Is it any good at all?
A few years ago I was pondering my future as a grad student in linguistics. I spent a lot of time reading and writing, scouting potential schools and speaking to linguists, students and language enthusiasts in an attempt to do something, anything, in the intervening time between the completion of my undergraduate studies and the eventual (hopeful) continuation of my education. The Pimsleur Approach screamed scam with all the force of a constipated banshee; but I couldn't help but be drawn into its self deprecating allure like a moth to a flame…
I decided that I would give it a shot, a trial by fire, and then write about how bad I knew it would inevitably be. Naturally I approached the software with a jaded mind, distrustful of any product that makes assertions in such a fashion, an assumption I now believe may have been a touch unfair.
I decided to go for Russian.
The reason for this decision was that I wanted to test this method truly. I desired a new language in which I had no background and no prior knowledge, but that was wide spoken enough that its use could be practical to my life and career and for which a supply of other material would be available for continued study after the program's completion. I already had a fair amount of experience with Spanish and other Western European languages, but my exposure to Russian was minimal. In a manner of speaking; it was all Greek to me.
I decided to give it my all, following the rules as closely as possible, try to keep an open mind and learn as much as I could. Worst case scenario I learn at least a little bit of a language before I snap the disks and hurl the remnants across the room in a fit of rage, right?
How does it work?
Pimsleur works like this: It's 100% audio based. The idea behind this is that it is supposed to be easy for anyone to use. No tedious studying, no boring lectures or books, nor teachers' dirty looks. You can listen to it on your mobile device or iPod as you run, or while driving in the car, working at your desk or whenever or wherever else your heart desires.
You are instructed to listen to one lesson per day; and each lesson lasts a mere 26-30 minutes. Sounds easy enough right? Well, it is, and that bit at least is pretty cool.
The Pimsleur Approach uses four "revolutionary techniques" that it of course claims its mastermind, one Dr. Paul Pimsleur, (Author of How to Learn a Foreign Language, a pretty good read actually) single handedly developed. These techniques are organic learning, graduated repetition, core vocabulary and anticipated learning. Sounds pretty legit right?
Core Vocabulary
This one is kind of a given. Anyone who has ever attempted to learn a language knows that you don't start out using obscure words. The Pyramids weren't built from the top down and neither will be your new lexicon.
I don't however think that the Pimsleur Approach's choice of what constitute "core words" will be the same for everyone interested in the language. From what I have observed, every language offered by Pimsleur offers almost the exact same curriculum and focuses on the same words; words that will change in necessity based on the individual.
As a former language educator, I dislike the rigid approach as it is applied to adults. While this is not true for all learners, I find that programs and educators have more luck with adults when they bend their own curricula to their learners' interests and needs, rather than forcing their ideas of what "has to be learned" upon them. Pimsleur is often cited as lacking a lot of essential, core vocabulary, but if you want to know how to ask a girl out on a (very boring) date, Pimsleur is for you!
I still find it entertaining that the program sees fit to explain to you very thoroughly how to order copious amounts of alcohol very early on, yet neglects to teach you how to ask for a restroom until much later.
These issues are hardly unique to Pimsleur though.
In this, many serious language learners and polyglots do not seem to view Pimsleur as positively as those looking for a more casual, less academic program. See the review of Pimsleur by professional language hacker and polyglot Benny Lewis here.
Organic Learning
Organic learning, however, is where I start to really disagree with the Pimsleur approach. The concept of learning organically implies that a learner should learn their 2nd languages the same way they learned their first; with little to no serious training but by naturally absorbing the language due to exposure (which is sort of contradictory since Pimsleur learners tend to be sitting at home in their native countries, not struggling to buy sugared dates in an Istanbul bazaar).
It took me a lot longer than three months to learn my first language, and I didn't really have a choice in the matter. It was learn English, or scream incoherently for the rest of my life every time I was hungry. The very nature of L2 learning is profoundly different from that of L1 acquisition and the mind of the learner vastly more developed so we're really looking at a case of apples vs oranges here.
Or maybe apples vs submarines.
Pimsleur is hardly the first program to profess that you can learn a language like an infant just by exposing yourself to it. The thing to remember here is that Pimsleur isn't passive learning! It actually does take time and energy and a bit of effort to make this work. You're actively studying this new language, and you already speak (at least) one.
While Pimsleur (and indeed other companies) loves to tell you that this "organic" learning is how it's gonna be, it isn't. It doesn't work that way. It's just a marketing tactic to make you think there's some "science" going on or something.
That's not to say Pimsleur is a bad product, it isn't, this point is just kind of benign and mildly misleading.
Graduated Recall
On the other hand; graduated recall works wonderfully. Dr. Pimsleur didn't invent it, but he was absolutely right in his assertions that it is one of the best strategies for learning.
Graduated recall starts out by teaching you certain words, and repeats them at steadily widening intervals throughout the lessons. Even during the 2nd and 3rd levels of the course, most of the core words are repeated with a frequency that is highly conducive to retention and automatic recall. This allows the learner to maintain her base vocabulary without losing too much in the meantime. This works very well and is employed by other systems such as Memrise and Duolingo.
It's also pretty cool to learn to pronounce (and remember) words starting from the end and working backwards. It really isn't something I've encountered before and I find that this approach to memorization works very well. It's one thing to just say a word, and repeat it over and over until you've got it, but that's boring and time consuming. Many programs and teachers break words down into various parts, but until Pimsleur I hadn't seen this done in reverse.
I've actually started doing this myself when helping English learners with their pronunciation. I'd recommend giving it a shot even if you don't end up trying Pimsleur.
Anyway, as I progressed through the lessons I came to expect and even guess out loud the words that would inevitably follow. This is "anticipated learning" and is arguably Pimsleur's most redeeming quality.
It's an extremely satisfying and uplifting feeling to realize that you have in fact learned something well enough to know what the program is going to say before it says it. This, coupled with graduated recall, is what gives the Pimsleur method an edge over some of its competitors.
By the end of the first 30 Russian lessons, I was pleasantly surprised to realize that I had in fact learned more than I had expected! I was not fluent, it had been a month, so obviously the whole "ten days" thing was about as legitimate as one could expect. Nonetheless I was extremely excited with the progress I had made and at this point realized that I both loved Russian, and learning new languages.
The trouble I would begin to encounter as I went further into the program was that the pace at which I learned new words was no longer working for me. Some words were not repeated enough, and others were over emphasized to the point of total tedium. One of the less desirable points that Pimsleur attempts to sell is that you should only be using their system, not studying from books or other systems in tandem because they would somehow interfere with the flow of the Pimsleur Approach.
This is little more than a not-so-subtle scheme to keep you on the straight and narrow. It's the marketing equivalent of a psychologically abusive significant other. You should definitely be diversifying your learning strategy!
The important thing that I would advise to anyone attempting to learn from Pimsleur is to take their guidelines and "rules" with a grain of salt.
Call what they suggest the bare minimum and do everything else you can to supplement your learning. For the serious learner, 30 minutes a day is not enough. I would complete a lesson, finding it very easy, and feel the urge to do more.
When I realized that I could breeze through two, three or sometimes even four lessons in a day, suddenly I found that I was learning more and at an accelerated pace. (I was also supplementing my learning with plenty of reading material, having taught myself to read Cyrillic by this point.) watching videos, music, trying to speak to people and just generally absorbing as much material as I could.
Do yourself a favor and don't settle for the minimum if you are at all serious about learning your language. That goes for all products and strategies.
Reading component
Pimsleur comes with a vocabulary list and super basic reading component. While not really a super significant part of the course (I usually skip it entirely), it does have its uses when it comes to learning languages that have pronunciation systems you are unfamiliar with and especially with different writing systems.
I haven't really used it with my French or German projects, but it was useful for Russian back when I was still new enough to Cyrillic to need the visualizations.
At the end of some lessons you are directed to a brief vocab review session that will go over the new words you've learned.
Over all, I find it to be a relatively minor feature.
Cool! But…
Unfortunately, the elation that I felt regarding the progress I was making would be fairly short lived. By the end of the 2nd level I was starting to lose steam.
The returns from the program were gradually beginning to taper off in favor of other learning techniques, and my interest began to wane. I began realizing that while the accents it emphasizes are actually pretty good, not enough emphasis is placed on real speech. That is, words, topics and phrases that normal people are likely to encounter in modern Russia.
In the end I didn't end up finishing the entire thing. I ended up somewhere around the halfway point of the third level.
After seventy five or seventy six lessons I suppose I had simply had enough. It had become clear at this point that some very common, necessary words that I would never dream of omitting from a language course were not going to be covered. I had learned all that I cared to from this course, and after several weeks of telling myself I would pick it back up tomorrow, always tomorrow, I still have not done so.
The tl;dr
Pimsleur was actually a lot better than I thought it would be. The marketing is annoying and a bit misleading, but at the end of the day it's just marketing.
The biggest thing that it did for me was to inspire me to continue learning Russian, as well as give me a fairly decent handle on pronunciation, style and accent.
Despite the obvious shortcomings and the ludicrous claims of earth shattering success I would definitely recommend Pimsleur, at least as a starting point.
I would again caution potential users against the claims the company makes; the marketing that serves as little more than a scare tactic to make you think there is no other way.
**Updated Conclusion**
Since this article was originally written, back in 2013, I have used Pimsleur for three separate major language projects as a springboard to get myself ahead and create a strong start for my new learning goals. I stand by what I've said about Pimsleur and its potency as a language learning product and my feelings towards it have actually increased with time.
It's still not perfect – nothing is. What Pimsleur did for me that really goes above and beyond most other programs that I've used is to instill in me a real, genuine interest and familiarity with the language I'm pursuing. It may not have provided the bulk of my learning, or remained my primary method, and despite all of my misgivings I repeatedly find myself coming back to Pimsleur time and time again.
It works. It's not the cheapest option out there, and over three different languages, Russian, French and German, I would definitely call it cost effective and recommend it to serious learners.
Pimsleur is available in both MP3 and Audio CD formats (MP3 is a little cheaper) in over 50 languages including some seriously impressive options such as Ojibwe, Urdu, Twi, Pashto and a variety of dialects of certain larger, more common languages, that you pretty much never see.
Not all of these language packages offer full courses though. Some of them are 10 lesson "starter courses".
Larger languages such as Russian are available in three "levels" of 30 lessons each for a total of 90. Still the most popular languages, such as Spanish and German, sometimes offer a fourth or fifth level for considerably more advanced learners. Users can buy each level individually or in sets. Learners on a tighter budget can also purchase 5 lessons at a time.

Sam Lutfi has denied that he is suing Britney Spears's parents to pay off his debts.
The singer's former manager has accused Lynne and Jamie Spears of defamation, alleging that their claims that he drugged the star were untrue and had caused him "humiliation" and "distress".
Lutfi managed Spears during her public breakdown and said at the time that helping her was a "moral obligation".
He is said to be facing foreclosure on his California home after allegedly running up more than £12,000 in debts.
However, his lawyer Bryan Freedman said that housing bosses have merely lost Lutfi's payments, telling E! Online: "It's nonsense. The homeowners association misplaced two cheques. The cheques were paid.

Accounting instructor Winnie Westcott is selected as Educator of the Year
Even in college, Winnie Westcott enjoyed filling the role of resident assistant and being a mentor to younger students.
No surprise then that after a short career in corporate finance, she found her way into a classroom at Rutgers Business School teaching accounting in lessons often sprinkled with real-life insights.
A part-time lecturer with the accounting department at Rutgers Business School, Westcott was recently selected as an educator of the year by the American Woman's Society of Certified Public Accountants after two accounting students nominated her for the award.
Westcott has "demonstrated an ability to clarify complex concepts and use real world examples to help her students understand the material beyond the textbook," the AWSCOA write in an announcement about the award. "She possesses a personal warmth and sincerity in wanting to help her students – she is always willing to go above and beyond to be available as a resource to them outside the classroom."
Westcott said she never expected to win the award. "It is the ultimate gratification," she said. "It gives me a sense of, this is all worth it."
When Westcott graduated from college, she took the typical route into an accounting profession: She landed a job as an auditor at PricewaterhouseCoopers, and obtained her CPA. But then took a job in the corporate offices at Bed Bath & Beyond, and a few years later, she went to work for the not-for-profit Rutgers University Press.
That's when she walked into the accounting department at Rutgers Business School and spoke with Professor Leonard Goodman about the possibility of tutoring or teaching.
In 2005, on Goodman's advice, she started working on a master of accountancy in government accounting in 2005 with the intent of using it as a credential to land a teaching job. Six years and three children later, she had completed her master's degree. Soon after, she started teaching introduction to financial accounting. In the fall, she will add intermediate accounting to her schedule.
"Even when I worked in corporate, a lot of the staff we hired were new graduates and I always liked the coaching part of developing new staff," Westcott said. "I always liked to see the click that happens when they applied the concepts they learned in class to the real world."
"Accounting was a profession I was very good at," Westcott said, "and I like being able to share what I know and bringing a real-world scenario to the classroom."

Wayne Rooney to BAN fan selfies following hotel booze-up
WAYNE Rooney is set to ban fan selfies with him after he was pictured boozing with wedding guests on an international break.
"Wayne has always been open to agreeing to pictures in public and enjoys engaging with the public as a normal person"Agent Paul Stretford
The England skipper appears to have clung on to the captain's armband after pictures of him at The Grove Hotel in Hertfordshire emerged.
But Roo was reportedly hurt by the criticism he received on a night off at the team hotel after England played Scotland at Wembley.
But despite the support of many England fans after the storm, the 31-year-old is considering refusing all requests for pics in the future.
"Undoubtedly one of the sad byproducts of this whole situation and everything Wayne has had to deal with since the night after the Scotland game means we are having to review the whole process of when he's in public in his own time," Rooney's agent Paul Stretford said.
"Wayne has always been open to agreeing to pictures in public and enjoys engaging with the public as a normal person.
"That said, while 99.9% of people who approach Wayne are entirely genuine in their motives, sadly there's a small minority with a their own agenda who want pictures of him for an entirely different purpose."
The FA will take no action against their captain after an investigation into the affair.
Rooney couldn't hide his anger when asked about his late night drinking session again on Thursday after scoring in Manchester United's 4-0 win against Feyenoord.
He said: "I actually didn't even step foot into the wedding and I think it's a shame I'm having to talk about it now after such a great victory."
It comes as Rooney's old rival Jamie Carragher appeared to stitch up the Manchester United striker by revealing the striker was in a nightclub when he was under 18.

Whilst I am far more towards the minimum Processing and as natural looking as possible
sort of shots - I have to say that I have deeeep respect for you with that shot and
think you did an amazing job. However good it is - it won't please everyone - so I reckon
you should be pleased with your efforts

Spectacular shot, photowerkz! I love every aspect of it, except I'm inclined to agree with N.C.F. and say a little less building.

The mist effect is real mist.
Mogrify is a plugin for Lightroom that allows you to do all sorts of things at export. In this case I added two borders the large black one and the narrow white. You can also add text, watermarks, apply sharpening, resize, change ICC profile, over print metadata (that's something people ask about from time to time) and other things I don't know about yet all automatically as the image is exported from Lightroom either to your hard drive or in this case directly to Flickr.
Here is the website. If you have Lightroom give it a go.
This is just the thing I have been looking for kiwi! Now lightroom is pretty much the perfect app for me! Thanks! Il be downloading it as soon as I'm home!

Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?)
Easy to install. I ordered this one as a front camera, since I already have a factory rear camera...not knowing that it would be a mirror image of the front, lol. We installed it in place with one of my factory Auxillary switches, to be able to switch it on as needed. The image quality is not all that great, but it does the job.

Sessions are tailored to your comfort and needs, allowing a safe healing space. Come with a goal and leave with the ability to achieve it!

Dewar's Live True Profiles
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Dewar's . All opinions are 100% mine.
Dewar's has been producing true scotch since 1846, and their "Live True" series highlights influential members of the community whom they feel truly embody the "Live True" spirit. So far there are four videos in the series, and each features an interview with the subject over a single malt and discusses what the phrase "Live True" means to each. The first in the series features Mark Bustos, a popular NY hairstylist who has created quite a buzz recently with his charitable acts of giving out free haircuts for the homeless on Sundays. Mark demonstrates a real "Live True" attitude in this video, "Live True" – Mark Bustos. To us, "Live True" means to do what you love and what makes you happy. So many people live for the paycheck in this world, and there is far more satisfaction in being free, living life, and giving back. Check out the other videos in the "Live True" series, and if it moves you, share the message with your friends and family.

Last week on the Traklight on Forbes series, we shared an interview with Valcu Inc.'s founder and the importance of Disrupting the Legal Industry. Thanks for reading!
We've talked a lot in the past about Crowdfunding and the Jumpstart Our Business Startups (JOBS) Act: Calling for Entrepreneurs in January to submit their comments to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the background on the JOBS Act for it's 2nd birthday, a Forbes article plea for the SEC to finally #ReleaseTheRules, and then an interview with executives of Crowdfund Intermediary Regulatory Advocates (CFIRA).
As you can see, we feel passionately about this subject.
This latest post from Mary Juetten about the JOBS Act discusses the IP issues with different crowdfunding options, and that entrepreneurs are getting weary of waiting for the SEC to release the rules.

With a surveillance reform bill stuck in the Senate, the federal court overseeing spy agencies on Friday reauthorized the National Security Agency's controversial bulk collection of Americans' phone records.
Reauthorization from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) allows the NSA to continue to warrantlessly collect "metadata" in bulk about people's phone calls. The records contain information about which numbers people called, when and how long they talked, but not the actual content of their conversations.
"Given that legislation has not yet been enacted, and given the importance of maintaining the capabilities of the Section 215 telephony metadata program, the government has sought a 90-day reauthorization of the existing program," the Justice Department and Office of the Director of National Intelligence said in a joint statement, referring to the section of the Patriot Act that authorizes the program.
The House passed a bill to end the bulk collection program earlier this year, and instead allow the federal government to search for specific records in phone companies' databases with a court order. Privacy advocates balked, however, warning that the legislation was too broad and would have allowed the NSA to conduct searches for every number in a certain area code, for instance, or every Verizon subscriber.

The Vegetarian Myth:
Food, justice, and sustainability
by Lierre KeithWe've been told that a vegetarian diet can feed the hungry, honor the animals, and save the planet. Lierre Keith believed in that plant-based diet and spent twenty years as a vegan. But in The Vegetarian Myth, she argues that we've been led astray--not by our longings for a just and sustainable world, but by our ignorance.
The truth is that agriculture is a relentless assault against the planet, and more of the same won't save us. In service to annual grains, humans have devastated prairies and forests, driven countless species extinct, altered the climate, and destroyed the topsoil--the basis of life itself. Keith argues that if we are to save this planet, our food must be an act of profound and abiding repair: it must come from inside living communities, not be imposed across them.
Part memoir, part nutritional primer, and part political manifesto, The Vegetarian Myth will challenge everything you thought you knew about food politics.
"This book saved my life. Not only does The Vegetarian Myth make clear how we should be eating, but also how the dominant food system is killing the planet. This necessary book challenges many of the destructive myths we live by and offers us a way back into our bodies, and back into the fight to save the planet."
—Derrick Jensen, author of Endgame and A Language Older than Words
"Everyone who eats should read this book. Everyone who eats vegetarian should memorize it… This is the single most important book I've ever read on diet, agriculture, and ecology."
—Aric McBay, author of What We Leave Behind and Peak Oil Survival

Minster FM News
York MP Backs Community Stadium Plans
12:56pm 15th May 2012
York Central MP Hugh Bayley has written to the City of York Council to support the planning application to build a new community stadium.
In his letter Mr Bayley backs the stadium but calls on the Council to encourage new investment in Central York to boost trade for city centre businesses.
He points out that the Naburn Designer Outlet Centre had not had the negative impact on the city centre that many traders feared and that frequent buses to and from the city centre encouraged some Naburn shoppers to also visit the centre of York.
Mr Bayley believes this could also work for Monks Cross. He also called on the Council to encourage a new proposal to redevelop Piccadilly.
Hugh Bayley MP says:
"I rarely express a view about planning applications but this one will have a huge impact on York's economy. We are in a double dip recession, and it would not make sense to turn down an £80 million investment which will create hundreds of new jobs in York.
"It's important that York is represented by professional sports teams. The players are ambassadors for the city. People all over the country are reminded of York whenever they look at the football and rugby league results. You have only to see the enormous support and pride that York people had when the Football Club picked up the FA Trophy on Saturday to know how important sport is to the city.
"The Monks Cross development needs to be balanced by investment in the city centre. The council and the developers need to make this happen.
"Piccadilly needs to be redeveloped and I hope, whatever happens on Thursday, the Council will give this serious attention. It has enormous potential to create jobs and make the city centre more attractive. I don't see Monks Cross and Piccadilly as competitors but as complimentary developments which will bring new jobs and visitors to York."

Hotel is located in the wonderful old section of the city. The room was large and comfortable, staff were very friendly and breakfast large.
We were driving, and the only problem was finding the hotel, which is located just behind a major square.

That's a lot of territory to cover in only 2 weeks.
Are you looking for a bus tour (which will let you cover a lot of ground in a cursory way). Or, if you want to travel independently - you need to give us an idea of what your must sees are. If you're not sure suggesst some guidbooks heavy on pix as well as a bunch of tour brochures - to give you some ideas.
In only 2 weeks you will need to make some hard decisions - and if it were me I would do 2 countries max.
Report Abuse
Thanks. I need to do some additional research. Does anyone know anything about Kensington Tours? They have a Customized British Isles Grand Tour that I will share when I receive it tomorrow. And, yes we are planning to do independent travel -- no big buses that tell you where to sit! I will check Globus.
Report Abuse
I just looked at the tour -- OMG -- what a mess! That is and almost entirely coach tour (that is what "shared" means).
You say "And, yes we are planning to do independent travel -- no big buses that tell you where to sit! I will check Globus."
What do you think Globus is -- it is a coach tour company and they tell you where to sit . . .
Two weeks is not long enough to do three countries (yes, you are talking about 3 countries). If you mean 2 weeks total -- 14 days -- then you really only have about 10 or 11 days free for touring. One day/night is spent flying to the UK, 1 day is mostly spent recovering from the flight/jetlag, 1/2 to 1 day is spent traveling up to Scotland. Then if you are flying home from London another 1/2 day is wasted getting back to London. And finally 1 day is spent flying home.
How old are the 4 of you, and WHEN is the trip? Many coach tours are geared to an older demographic. And the time of year can make a huge difference.
5-7 days in London and the rest in a teensy bit of Scotland -- or -- 5-7 days in London and the rest in a teensy bit of Ireland are about all you should attempt.
Report Abuse
I wouldn't touch a tour company who have so little knowledge of the places on the tour they can't even get the place names right, viz:
"Lough Lomand", "Cotswalds", etc...
Report Abuse
I was going to comment on the mis-spellings too --- but figured I'd already piled on enough
At least we know why so many folks ask about "Cotswald"
Report Abuse
ablekl You don't say if you have been over here before or if this is a first trip.
If first trip I think a week in London and a week in Scotland would fill up tour time. Do you want rural Scotland, cities or both?
How active are you? Are you happy to drive?
Report Abuse
Warwick Castle, Oxford, the Cotswolds and Stratford-Upon-Avon all in one day? Even assuming they do them in a more logical order than given, the idea of doing all of them in one day is overwhelming. This is, however, typical of most tour companies. They overload their itineraries and then compromise on the time allocated in visiting the sites. I imagine the Cotswolds on this tour is simply a drive through and have no idea as to how they'll approach Oxford, Warwick Castle and Stratford-Upon-Avon as each really needs at least a half day. If you're aware of this, fine, but it's important to have a reality check on what one will actually be seeing and how much time will be spent at a given site.
Report Abuse
" . . . and then compromise on the time allocated in visiting the sites"
And it is even worse than that. Most often they don't 'visit' the sites at all. "See" means exactly that - you see a place from inside the coach as you drive past. Usually not even slowing down.
"Visit" means getting off the bus and (sometimes) going inside . . . .
Report Abuse
We are all in our 50s and we are considering planning an itinerary and driving. We figured only one day in London, head north and go from there. We just bought guide books tonight to determine the highlights. If anybody can suggest itinerary we would love to hear from you. Other than A&K and Travcoa it's difficult to find independent travel and they are very expensive. Are they worth it???
Report Abuse
" We figured only one day in London"
Have you been to London before? One day in London actually works out to about 6 hours of jetlagged fog give or take and hour or two. You'd barely have time to find your way from your hotel around the block.
IMO -- unless you want to spend some time in London -- avoid London altogether. If you want to spend your time in Scotland and northern England -- then consider flying into Manchester or Glasgow or Edinburgh. No reason to go to London -- UNLESS you want to see some of London. At the VERY minimum one needs 3 full days in London (besides the arrival day) to just see 5 or 6 of the major sites. Unless you can devote a few days in London -- skip London.
Report Abuse
We are 50ish and are now considering driving -- just have hotels planned along the way. 3 or us have already been to London - so we could go either way on visiting. Does anybody have a suggested itinerary for north England, Scotland and Ireland?
Report Abuse
"Does anybody have a suggested itinerary for north England, Scotland and Ireland?"
Not if you only have 2 weeks. Each country easily fills 2 weeks. Especially Ireland where the travel is very slow -- count on about 35 mph most days/routes. Scotland is quite large -- do you mean 'Scotland' or do you just mean Edinburgh? Same for Ireland . . . 'Ireland' is not just Dublin. Most of the scenic bits are in the west and SW a long way from Dublin.
In two weeks you could spend a few day in Edinburgh, a few days in Dublin and a few days in London w/ a day trip out from each city -- but not "England, Scotland and Ireland"
But we really can't (shouldn't) create an itinerary for you. There are literally hundreds of places you could visit. Start w/ some ideas of your own about what sorts of things you want to see/do, work out a possible plan and we can help you refine it.
OR - just plan on London/Edinburgh/Dublin -- that would be a reasonable 2 week itinerary, but you wouldn't need/want a car for those cities.

Jamaica hold off Trinidad for second straight win 72-64
Jamaica held off a fighting Trinidad and Tobago squad for a 72-64 win in the final game of Tuesday night's action when the Caribbean Basketball Confederation (CBC) male under-16 Championship continued at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall in Georgetown, Guyana.
Jalen Menzies and Samora Williams were once again the biggest influence in the game with the former heating up in the second half to keep the Trinidadian squad at bay.
Menzies finished with 23 points and six steals while Williams had 16 points and 13 rebounds in the game. Jabari Cunningham also contributed 11 points.
Jordan Versad who shot the ball better in the second half went 9-31 for 27 points at the end of the game in the loss. Scoring for Trinidad also came from Theo Devoren with 18 points.
Earlier, Jamaica came out running the first quarter and while Trinidad matched the Jamaicans speed, their inability to hit shots from the field.
The Jamaicans also made it their business to deny Trinidad's star player Versad the ball on inbound plays while trapping the prolific scorer as soon as he touched the ball which resulted in Versad going 2-12 from the field.
However, Trinidad kept the game close playing team basketball with everyone contributing to the score to pull within six points to close out the first half that ended 36-30.
However, Menzies' hot third quarter, sinking 4-8 for 10 points in the period allowed the Jamaicans to take a 54-48 heading into the fourth which gave the Jamaicans the momentum for the win in the end.

Blues forward Alexander Steen, who's missed the past four games with an upper-body injury, skated for the first time with the team since Nov. 17 but is not likely to play against the Wild tonight.
Steen was injured in the second period of a 4-1 win against the Buffalo Sabres on a second-period check in the offensive zone corner by Sabres defenseman Josh Gorges.
"It was nice to see Alex out there," Hitchcock said. 'I don't know were Steen is at to be honest with you. We'll know probably in the next day or so."

Shipping Containers, Tomatoes and a Mouse
This morning, my things arrived, including my camera. I am looking forward to showing you some of the things I have been talking about.
First, I must say how happy I am with my experience with ABF's U-pack moving service. Thanks to them, I was able to move my things across the country at about the price of renting a truck, without having to drive the truck myself or tow my car behind. Given that I am now unemployed, I couldn't justify getting movers or the extra cost of certain similar services, but I have been really pleased with ABF. Everything seems to be just the way it was when Scott and his friends wedged it in there back in Georgia. I have unloaded a lot of the lighter stuff, and we'll deal with the rest this evening.
After some time unloading, I made myself the lovely lunch you see above, a tomato millefeuille. In the background, you can see what is left of the tomatoes I harvested Wednesday -- a lot, I know. One of the things I did as I made my meal plan was try to figure out how I could use those tomatoes up. The first thing I did was turn to a search on Food Gawker, which is a fabulous site that conglomerates many food blogs, giving a quick peek into each one. My lunch photo may not be quite as lovely as that taken by the recipe poster, but it turned out quite tasty. My next step, I think, is to make a lot of tomato sauce before the rest go bad.
Here's a peek at the garden they came from:
After I came inside from taking these photos, I saw the cat, Hoser, rooting around in a bag on the dining room floor. He picked up something in his mouth and ran off with it. I thought it was a bag of trash, and I went after him to collect whatever had struck his fancy. When I found him, I discovered that he had trapped a tiny grey mouse. I picked it up and took it outside. I have no idea how the mouse got in the house, but if it gets back in, I know Hoser is a diligent guard.

Los Angeles Street Food: A History from Tamaleros to Taco Trucks by Farley Elliott
English | 2015 | ISBN: 1626199914 | 176 pages | PDF | 301 MB
Los Angeles is the uncontested street food champion of the United States, and it isnt even a fair fight. Millions of hungry locals and wide-eyed tourists take to the streets to eat tacos, down bacon-wrapped hot dogs and indulge in the latest offerings from a fleet of gourmet food trucks and vendors. Dating back to the late nineteenth century when tamale men first hawked their fare from pushcarts and wagons, street food is now a billion-dollar industry in L.A. and it isnt going anywhere! So hit the streets and dig in with local food writer Farley Elliott, who tackles the sometimes dicey subject of street food and serves up all there is to know about the greasy, cheesy, spicy and everything in between.

"Real or UnREAL?"
That's the question for B.J. Britt, who stars as Darius Hill, a new suitor, and the first black one, on Lifetime's second season of UnREAL.
In the video above, Us Weekly Video tests the actor's knowledge of Bachelors by sharing Bachelor-esque scenarios and asking whether it actually happened on one of the ABC dating series' seasons or not.
Can this pseudo-Bachelor know whether a real Bachelor proposed to one woman only to dump her on the reunion show and proposed to the runner-up (Jason Mesnick really ditched Melissa Rycroft on live TV to choose Molly), and whether a different Bachelor (aka Ben Higgins) told two women he loves them?
In the case of Higgins, who told Lauren Bushnell and current season 12 Bachelorette JoJo Fletcher, that he loved them both, 34-year-old Britt says, "You know what, I'm a hopeless romantic. So I can see that being real."
Then in a reality twist, Britt proceeds to spread the love and tells Us Weekly's Christina Garibaldi and Jamie Blynn that he loves them both!
To see how well the UnREAL star knows his Bachelor facts, watch the video above!
UnREAL's second season premieres on Lifetime Monday, June 6, at 10 p.m. ET.

sort by best latest
Yeah, but it's sort of lame.
I'm some sort of amateur artist that needs a lot of practice, so I promised myself to do an original drawing a day, every day this year. I guess I've just gotta steel myself to do it--inspiration is everywhere, after all.
What's yours?
