I completely understand why you feel that way. I'd be pretty pissed myself.
But, look at the good news, through this recognition people will probably browse your other works as well. Including myself even, I saw Pregnancy and Jobs, thought it was pretty awesome and said to myself "I really wanna see every other work that there is from this person."
Then I saw them all, and now I'm sad that there's no more to watch. And now I'm subscribing to you with hopes for a future release soon as possible.

Long Island, NY (PressExposure) January 09, 2008 -- The new web based service shows thirty-second clips, which are displayed full screen. The company promises to monetarily compensate its members in exchange for viewing advertisements.
"Before Whip Hand people had to create videos with a viral appeal. We simply offer the opportunity to purchase guaranteed exposure," said Jacquelyn Haley, CEO of Whip Hand. Haley claims that users must view an ad in order to interact with it, ensuring that it will be seen.
According to the company's website, advertisers set their own price, and decide how much compensation to offer viewers. The viewers of the advertisements then, in turn, decide how much their time is worth.
Whip Hand's service puts a new spin on traditional "get paid to watch advertising" business models. Whip Hand's user-to-advertisement interaction, coupled with its proprietary security technology promises to appease online advertisers. At the same time, members of the website should enjoy being paid for their time. This win-win approach to online marketing may be the next big thing to hit the online advertising arena this year.

More than 15,000 Fylde children will miss school on Thursday – sparking a childcare headache for working parents.
Dozens of schools in Blackpool, Wyre and Fylde will shut their doors for the day as teachers head to the picket lines in a dispute over pensions, pay and the Government's education reforms.
The Gazette has had confirmation from 38 schools in Blackpool, Fylde and Wyre of closures or partial closures on Thursday.
All Blackpool's secondary schools will be closed for the day – Bispham High, Collegiate High, Highfield Humanities College, Montgomery High, Palatine Community Sports College, St George's High, St Mary's Catholic College and Unity College.
While many parents will have to either take a day off work or make alternative arrangements for their children, some have been left in limbo not sure if their child's school is closed or not.
Primary schools which have confirmed their closure are Boundary, Marton, Revoe Community, St Bernadette's Catholic , St John's CE, St John Vianney's Catholic , St Nicholas CE, St Teresa's Catholic, and Stanley primary schools and Thames Primary Academy.
St Michael's CE Primary, in Kirkham, has told parents they should expect the school to partially close.
But this will not be confirmed until 8.45am on the day of the strike – just 10 minutes before the start of the school day.School management declined to comment on the timing of its decision.
Members of the National Union of Teachers (NUT) and National Association of Schoolmasters Union of Women Teachers (NASUWT) are taking part in the joint strike regarding "workload, pensions, pay, conditions and job security".
The NUT says a pay freeze and pension contribution increases have cut the value of teachers' pay by 15 per cent in real terms.
A spokesman added: "The NUT will not accept that teachers should work until they are 68, pay 50 per cent more for their pensions and get less in retirement."
Ros Homer (pictured), Blackpool branch secretary for the NUT, said: "Headteachers will have written out to parents and should've made a decision a week ago.
"They should've had plenty of notice to make arrangements.
"We have massive issues with the Government over pensions and pay but this is about education and that's what we are standing up for."
Parents have taken to The Gazette's Facebook page to discuss the strike.
Sharon Phillipson said: "I just feel so annoyed that because the teachers need to protect their pensions, some of my friends have to take a day off work and lose pay because they have no-one to watch their children."
Jonathan Moore said: "If there comes a time in the future where I'm lectured regarding missing days and damaging my children's education I know what my answer will be."
Sarah Jane Robinson said: "Before everyone starts slating teachers, my niece is a primary school teacher and I always thought teachers had it easy, not now.
"The amount of hours she works is unbelievable, she is in school long before and after children are there, and works evenings and weekends too."
A number of schools in Fylde – including Carr Hill High School and St Bede's Catholic High School – have confirmed they are closing or partially closing.
In a letter sent home to parents Sarah Bamber, headteacher of Freckleton Strike Lane Primary School, said: "I do understand that this is inconvenient, however, there is no other option available to me."
Headteachers have cited safety concerns being the reason for closures.
A letter sent to parents with children at Holy Family Primary School, Warton, said: "[The closure] is due to industrial action which teachers feel forced into at this time.
"The reason for the closure is that I cannot guarantee the children's safety at school on that day."
Parents at Kirkham and Wesham Primary School recieved a letter which said: "One parent in each family should have received a text with regards to next week's proposed strike action.
"I recognise this will cause many of you considerable inconvenience in relation to your work commitments but as I have been informed by the LEA it is illegal for me to employ supply teachers or use support staff to cover the classes of anyone taking strike action, I am unable to open school to all pupils."
The school will be closed to children in years one, two and six.
Other schools in Fylde, St Peter's Catholic Primary School in Lytham, Lytham CE Primary School and Ribby with Wrea Endowed CE Primary School, will also be partially closed.
Wyre schools, including Cardinal Allen High School in Fleetwood, Fleetwood High School and Hodgson Academy in Poulton, have confirmed they are closing or partially closing on Thursday.
Lancashire County Council, which runs schools in Wyre and Fylde, says schools will decide on what they will do on an individual basis.
Coun Simon Blackburn, leader of Blackpool Council, said: "I understand the pressures schools and staff are under in the current climate yet appreciate this disruption to education is unfortunate.
"We will do what we can to support schools, teachers and families."
County Coun Matthew Tomlinson, cabinet member for schools, said: "Schools are run by headteachers and governors, therefore they must decide how to react to the planned strike, based on the particular circumstances at their individual schools.
"We will, of course, offer support and advice, but it will be for headteachers to make their own decisions based on staffing numbers."

An Open Letter to Bashar al- Assad
In the name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful
"Commanding Good and Preventing Evil"
Embassy of Syria
2215 Wyoming Ave. N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20008 USA
Ph: (202) 232-6316
President Bashar Al-Assad,
The whole world has been watching your country since the unrest started two months ago. Since
then, you have taken token steps to appease your critics but the news coming out of your country
is so disturbing that staying silent is a sin in our common Islam faith.
I am not here to blast you with Freedom Fighter rhetoric. I understand your determination to stay
in power but I have one question for you that maybe you could answer publicly, assuming this
letter gets into the hands of you or your advisors.
I saw the widely circulated photograph of the 13 year old boy's name Hamza al-Khatib mutilated,
barely recognizable body. The family showcased before and after photographs of their little boy.
This boy was missing for a period of one month. The world suspects he is not the only victim of
similar brutality by your regime. My question is: When you posed with your wife and family in
the prestigious Vogue magazine, did you consider how you would react if someone snatched your
boy from your arm on the street, raped, cut out his genitals mutilated, his small body covered
with cigarette burns and ultimately killed by high voltage electric shocks.
As mentioned before, I am not here to fight for freedom for the Syrian people. That is their job, as it was for Tunisians and Egyptians, and is now ongoing in Libya, Yemen and Bahrain. Expect other brutal dictators to be held to account for crimes against their people.
The leaders of all the above mentioned countries have one thing in common; their avowed Muslim faith, along with the 1.2 billion rest of us. I am disappointed and frustrated that all of you claim to be a Muslim, show up on public TV and pray in front of cameras. What puzzles this faithful, devout Muslim is: How can you pretend? If your faith is genuine, why are you killing the innocent?
You are intelligent enough to know that in the next life there will be no such a thing as a Jew, Christian or Muslim or a separate line for politicians with large bank accounts. It doesn't matter if you own Syria or you are just a person living in it. One day, you will pass from this life just like the rest of us, having no more than a shroud, to stand in front of Allah SVT. How can you justify the torture and murder of this boy even if he wasn't a Syrian? Whether he was Syrian, American, Israeli, or just a boy without a family, he was made by our Creator and you had no right to take his life away at such a young age in such a cowardly matter. He had no voice but, now, he has the rest of humanity standing up for him. Until now, I had thought you were a cut above the rest of brutal Middle East dictators. Now I understand that for all of you, the only thing that matters is money and power. Religion and countrymen are just a game at your service.
For your sake, I hope you sum up a very good answer for your next life. From what I know of religion, even if you build the greatest mosque of the 21st Century, it will not atone for the crimes against humanity that you allowed on your watch. It does not matter that you did not personally kill him. You are responsible for the actions of your regime and for bringing to justice those who perpetrate such atrocities.
Good luck to you and your ilk in the after life. Do all faithful Muslims a favor. Take the name "Islamic Society" off your map. Your lectures and actions have no resemblance to a faithful Muslim man.

Hi there
I am 50 years old,have extremely thinning hair, that is a very light brown/blonde color that is greying, also I am quite fair skinned. I have had transplants before, which have left scarring I need to disguise.
Would SMP work for me or it is only suitable to darker skinned people, with dark hair? I have been told SMP doesn't work on fair skin and my hair color.

United Macedonian Diaspora
|Aleksandar Mitreski, Hristina Bojadzieva, Zak Milenkovski, Marina Veljanovska, Denis Manevski, Boban Jovanovski, Metodija A. Koloski, Steve Gligorov, Tom Vangelovski
|Human Rights, Advocacy, Cultural
|To foster unity among Macedonian people, advance their cause, and to promote the Macedonian historical, spiritual, and cultural heritage while preserving and promoting the Macedonian tradition within the framework of various advocacy, educational, and charitable programs.
Area served
| United States
European Union
|"United, We Can!"
Founded in 2004, the United Macedonian Diaspora (UMD) (Macedonian: Обединета македонска дијаспора, Obedineta makedonska dijaspora) is non-governmental organization registered in Washington DC, United States as a not-for-profit entity and a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization. It address the interests and needs of Macedonian people and communities throughout the world outside of the Republic of Macedonia.
Objectives and Policy Issues[edit]
The United Macedonian Diaspora states its main goals are "to foster unity among Macedonian people and to advance their cause".[1] The organization's objectives are safeguarding the rights of Macedonians around the world; strengthening the unity of the Macedonian Diaspora; acting for the benefit of Macedonian communities before governmental and international bodies; cooperating with the world community by promoting universal ideals of peace, freedom, self-determination, and justice; and preserving and promoting Macedonian culture.[citation needed] Policy issues the organization undertakes are as follows: supporting the Republic of Macedonia's constitutional and rightful name; advancing Macedonian issues through educational advocacy, charitable efforts, and social and cultural events; defending the Macedonian ethnic and national identity internationally; supporting the human rights of Macedonians in Albania, Bulgaria, Greece, Kosovo, and Serbia; improving bilateral relations between Macedonia and Australia, Canada, China, European Union Member-States, Russia, and the United States, among others; and assisting in Macedonia's accession into international bodies such as the EU and NATO.[2]
UMD publishes its magazine UMD Voice four times a year. The magazine keeps the UMD members informed on the latest events concerning the Republic of Macedonia and the ethnic Macedonians as well as UMD organized events and initiatives. The newest issue of UMD Voice is available free of charge at this location. The editor of UMD Voice is Mark Branov.[3]
Organization and Structure[edit]
With headquarters in Washington, D.C., UMD has representatives serving Macedonian communities around the world, including in Albania, Australia, Austria, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Russia, the United Kingdom, and throughout the United States. The current members of the UMD Board of Directors are as follows: Stojan Nikolov (Chairman of the Board), Metodija A. Koloski (President), Aleksandar Mitreski, (Vice President), George Peters (Secretary), Lidija Stojkoska (Treasurer), Ordan Andreevski (Director of Australian Operations), Jim Daikos (Director of Canadian Operations), Dame Krcoski (Board Member), Goran Saveski (Board Member), Trajko Papuckoski (Board Member).[4]
The United Macedonian Diaspora states its main goals are to "foster unity among Macedonian people and to advance their cause",[1] but it also lobbies for the Republic of Macedonia in the Macedonia naming dispute.[5] The UMD is active in a "global cultural war" against Greece in which they "seek to gain recognition for the Republic of Macedonia under its constitutional name" (which Greece objects to), and to "secure full human rights for Macedonian minorities in Greece and other Balkan countries".[6]
The UMD operates as a tax-exempt, international non-profit organization in the U.S under Law 501 C3, which prohibits lobbying within the U.S to those who are authorised to run non-profit organisations. Those who intend to lobby professionally, have to proceed with the establishment of such bodies, under even stricter financial control, such as the IRS.[7] However, Metodija Koloski and the UMD lobby inside and outside the U.S., an action which constitutes a conflict of interest. Metodija A. Koloski, the president of UMD, has been operating as an agent for the Turkish government since 2008[8] through DLA Piper which is officially lobbying for Turkey.[9][10][11] Koloski is a contributor to the Turkish Coalition USA PAC,[12][13] a project of the Turkish Coalition of America,[14] which provided UMD a challenge matching grant in the sum of $150,000.[15][16]
According to U.S. Law,[17] foreign agents as well as non-profit organisations are not allowed to lobby within the U.S. in favour of foreign countries/principals without disclosing to the U.S. Congress that they are not representing the interests of U.S citizens. The UMD is not, by its own by-laws, a U.S. organization representing the interests of U.S. citizens. However, Koloski, a registered Foreign Agent and the UMD, an international non-profit organization representing the interests of Macedonians all over the world, created a Macedonian Caucus with the help of a US Congresswoman Rep Candice Miller.[18][19][20]

Dawood Ibrahim, the name itself is so irritating for Indians and all over the world for his devil deeds. Since long, he has been in the World's most Wanted Criminals list despite no secret agencies have found the location or even the evidence where he is residing from time to time. He is the prime accused in the bomb blast that took place in 1993 and after then he has been the prime suspect for the criminal activities proclaiming in India. Gangster was being saved by Pakistan but the country has never accepted the fact because India didn't have proof to cite him back.
Dawood Ibrahim latest location
Recently Indiadesh reports found that the D-Man is in living in Pakistan. The reporter added that a passport size photo and bill of telephone documentary evidence indicates clearly that Dawood and his kin are in Karachi (Port City of Pakistan). The passport was having the latest image of Dawood & aged 59 years now. Clean shaven and receding haircut, Dawood looked completely different than the photos the world has of him since long.
The telephone bill was named on Dawood's wife ( Mehjabeen Shaikh) and the address on the bill was: D-13, Block 4, Karachi Development Authority. Pakistan Telecommunication Company issued the address and so it is crystal clear that the Don is legally living in the country with their full support.
Now it will interesting to see India's approach regarding this as Dawood is precious for the India with respect to know about all the uncomforting zone he has created in India. There are certain doubts yet about the photo but the sources says and ensures that Indian Security Team will surely ask about Dawood location to Pakistan if the meeting between the 2 countries occurs on August 24,2015. India is willing to confront Pakistan in this dispute. Recently Naveed Yakub was caught live and confirmed that he was from Pakistan.
There is so much going on with Indo-Pakistan as the meetingcontroversies is in the news since a week for the Kashmir issue. Dawood Ibrahim identification in Pakistan will be added to the list of India's Security concerns as he is the master mind to tackle all the Indian Authorities till date and broke all the limits to disturb our country from peace and prosperity. Yakub Memon ( 1993 Bomb Blast Convict) was recently executed by India & so Indian people want Dawood to be hanged till death for his devil cum evil things.
In May, 2015 Home Minister Haribhai Chaudhary in Lok Sabha said that Dawood is not in Pakistan though the exact location was not known but it was known to certain secret agencies that he was in Pakistan.

and Harold Brackman
The Wall Street meltdown is sending shockwaves from Dubai and London soirees to American kitchen tables where dreams of a secure retirement grow dimmer every time we open our 401(k) statements.
Fueling fears of another 1929 is the "deer in the headlights" cluelessness of Treasury officials, CEOs and Financial News Network talking heads. The similarities are certainly there as global markets spiral wildly downward, though today's unemployment rate of 6.1 percent cannot compare to the 25 percent unemployment of 1933 or even the 10 percent of the early 1980s. Current global efforts to restore financial stability are vital, but not enough. We also need to quarantine – not just bad loans – the toxic discourse that threatens to poison civil society whose health is critical to both democracy and prosperity.
In the worldwide Great Depression of the 1930s, national responses differed dramatically. While both the United States and Germany were devastated economically, America's response was democratic transition from Hoover administration policies to Roosevelt's popular New Deal, while the German response was the violent rise of Hitler's Third Reich.
The reactions were so different partly because in the 1920s Germany's fragile Weimar democracy all but collapsed. The cause was not limited to hyperinflation. The nation was split by deepening polarization about who was responsible for a lost war and whether Germans could trust each other's patriotism.
Sinclair Lewis' 1935 novel, "It Can't Happen Here," was a cautionary tale about the takeover of the United States by homegrown fascists. Of course it didn't happen here because – despite the worst efforts of rabble rousers such as Gerald L.K. Smith, "radio priest" Father Coughlin and the pro-Hitler German American Bund – Americans did not allow economic discontent to destroy their democratic way of life.
Ultimately, except in Louisiana where demagogue Huey Long was assassinated, partisanship was not allowed to escalate into violence. Key leadership came from Roosevelt who used the presidential bully pulpit to sell hope. Unions were empowered to give workers some control over their economic destiny. And journalists, writers and artists rose to the challenge of defending civilized values.
In the early 1980s – the last time our economy was really in the dumps – NBC aired a miniseries, "V," very loosely based on Lewis' novel. But it changed the threat from an extremist takeover to an extraterrestrial invasion! In today's troubled times, we need to admit that, in the words of Walt Kelly's Pogo, "the enemy is us."
First, let's recognize the downward spiral in our civil discourse began while the economy was still strong. You can debate all you want about the impeachment of President Bill Clinton, but there is no debating that it unleashed on both sides the hyperpartisanship from which we still suffer. Then came the disputed "hanging chad" 2000 presidential election and deepening divisions over the war on terror and the Iraq war.
Here, too, there is plenty of blame to go around for rhetorical overkill. The anti-war left's compulsive equation of President Bush with Hitler was deplorable, but so too were TV ads that swayed the result of a 2002 election by somehow equating a Vietnam hero, Georgia Sen. Max Cleland, with Osama bin Laden over Cleland's vote on a homeland security bill.
As this year's campaign enters the homestretch, both sides need to be reminded that presidential elections, however passionately fought, cannot be allowed to descend into the verbal equivalent of the no-holds barred International Fight League.
It isn't enough for supporters of Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama to denounce demonizing barbs based on his name and false claims about his religion, nationality and patriotism. They must also condemn without caveats the character assassination of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin by extreme partisans who've gone beyond raising questions about her qualifications and experience by smearing her good name and family including her children.
It isn't enough for supporters of Republican presidential nominee John McCain to defend his running mate, Gov. Palin, without repudiating more forcefully the not-so-quiet whispering campaign against Sen. Obama.
At stake here is not just who is going to win, but whether the winner of another divisive election will be able to govern in a time of economic meltdown. Failure to reduce extreme partisan rancor and restore civility will contribute to continuing gridlock on Capitol Hill rather than the consensus Americans desperately need to address this crisis, energy security and perilous foreign policy challenges.
Hatemongers are already working overtime exploiting a soapbox unimaginable in the 1930s – the Internet – to blame both old and new scapegoats for the economic crisis. Unchecked, they will transform our the new "global village" into a toxic swamp.
There may not be much the average citizen can do now about the Dow Jones Average except pray that the economic gurus will succeed in putting the world's economy back on track. But all of us – politicians, the media, even the Facebook generation – have to demand responsible discourse before our democracy becomes another casualty of the Panic of 2008.

Discussion in 'England' started by Lucyjason, Jun 13, 2015.
where can I get a memory foam mattress for my Bessacarr E 560. Thankyou
we have got toppers and sleeping bags with them
Do you do them for a french bed?
Please give shop a call on 01-580-883062 as I am not on site
Any memory foam mattress topper can be easily cut to the shape you require, there's nothing special about them, the only thing you have to then sort out is to make the cover fit the new shape, but a little bit of sewing soon sorts that out. However as you've mentioned a mattress, again you can use any and cut it to shape (an electric carving knife is best).
I purchased mine off the web and did as minxyG said: trimmed to fit. Keep meaning to stitch the Cover to the right shape but haven't got around to it, just tuck in the excess!! Really easy to trim as it is only foam at the end of the day.
Be careful, our memory foam mattress has developed Alzheimer's and now seems have a memory for an
over weight 70 year olds shape!
can I ask why memory foam and not a proper pocket sprung mattress ?
personally I wouldn't have a foam bed.. too hot and sweaty .. but that's just me..
When we had the caravan was thinking of getting some and had a look here http://www.efoam.co.uk/ and here http://www.easyfoam.co.uk/ and here http://www.thefoamshop.co.uk/product/374-164/MEMORY-FOAM-MATTRESS-COMBO and various others.
We changed to a motorhome instead which was just a tad more expensive option!
Have pocket sprung and find it to hard. My back hurts every time I use it. I don't find my memory foam mattress at home hot or sweaty.
I'm thinking of buying a double bed memory foam mattress and using the old one as a template and cutting it down myself. Then at least I can try it for comfort before buying

Excerpt: Krakatoa
Chapter One
"An Island with a Pointed Mountain"
Volcanic Eruption Area: Owing to volcanic eruption this area is considered unsafe for shipping . . .
Pulau Anakrakata: (6 06' S, 105 25' E), an islet, appearing midway between Pulau Sertung and Pulau Rakata Kecil in 1928, where formerly a bank with a depth of 27m was charted. In 1929, this islet disappeared again, but resurfaced by eruptions in 1930, and after heavy eruptions in February 1933, appeared to have increased in size. In 1935 this islet was almost circular in shape, with a diameter of about 1200m, and a height of 63m, and in 1940 it was 125m high. In 1948 there were a few casuarina trees on the N extremity of the islet; in 1955 the islet had an elevation of 155m and, viewed from the S, was devoid of vegetation. In 1959 it was in eruption and emitted thick black smoke to a height of 600m. Volcanic activity on Pulau Anakrakata was last observed in 1993.
Danger Signal: In the event of threatened eruption within the Krakatau area, Jakarta Radio will broadcast the necessary warning in Indonesian and English. (See Admiralty List of Radio Signals.)
- from "Admiralty Sailing Directions,"
NP36, Indonesia Pilot, vol. 1, London, 1999Though we think first of Java as an eponym for coffee (or, to some today, a computer language), it is in fact the trading of aromatic tropical spices on which the fortunes of the great island's colonizers and Western discoverers were first founded. And initially supreme among those spices was the one rather ordinary variety that remains the most widely used today: pepper.
Piper nigrum, Syzygium aromaticum,* and Myristica fragrans - pepper, clove, and nutmeg - were the original holy trinity of the Asian spice trade. Each was familiar to, and used by, the ancients. Two hundred years before the birth of Christ, for instance, the Chinese of the Han Dynasty demanded that their courtiers address their emperors only when their breath had been sweetened with a mouthful of Javanese cloves, the "odiferous pistils," as they were later more widely known. There is some vague evidence that Roman priests may have employed nutmeg as an incense; it was definitely in use as a flavoring in ninth-century Constantinople, since the terrifyingly Orthodox Saint Theodore the Studite - the scourge of the image-smashing Iconoclasts - famously allowed his monks to sprinkle it on the pease pudding they were obliged to eat on days when monastery meat was forbidden. And in Elizabethan times a nutmeg pomander was an essential for keeping foul ailments at bay: The notion that nutmeg could ward off the plague survived longer than many another old wives' tale.
Pepper, though, was of infinitely more moment to the ancients than to be merely a topping, nostrum, or cachou. The Romans used it in abundance: Gibbon wrote of pepper being "a favourite ingredient of the most expensive Roman cookery," and added his authority to the widely held idea that Alaric, the rambunctious king of the Visigoths, had demanded more than a ton of it from the Romans as ransom when he laid siege to the city in a.d. 410. The aureus and the denarius, the gold and silver coins of the empire, became the preferred currency of the Spice Route, and the Indian pepper merchants of Cochin and Malacca and the ports of southern Ceylon were said to be impressed that the denomination of coins was indicated by the number engraved upon them, not by their size.
However they may have been denominated, the coins must have been paid out in enormous numbers. Pepper was so precious and costly and so much in demand that the cost of it all had Pliny the Elder fulminating. "There was no year in which India" - and by this he meant the Indies, since pepper traded came both from the Malabar Coast and from western Java - "does not drain the Roman empire of fifty million sesterces." So dearly, he added drily, "do we pay for our luxury and our women."
(There is a pleasing symmetry about Pliny's involvement in this part of the story of Krakatoa, even if he appears in only a walk-on role. Although this rich and well-connected former soldier - he was a cavalry officer in Roman Germany - happily took on a variety of official duties on behalf of his emperors, Pliny was above all else a naturalist. He was a savant, or a student, as he once famously put it, of "the nature of things, that is, life." His reputation is based largely on his thirty-seven-volume Natural History, an immense masterpiece in which, among countless other delights, is the first use of the word from which we derive today's encyclopedia.
It was during the late summer of a.d. 79, while pursuing his official task of investigating piracy in the Bay of Naples, that Pliny was persuaded to explore a peculiar cloud formation that appeared to be coming from the summit of the local mountain, Vesuvius. He was duly rowed ashore, visited a local village to calm the panicked inhabitants - and was promptly caught up in a massive eruption. He died of asphyxiation by volcanic gases on August 24, leaving behind him a vast reputation and, as memorial, a single word in the lexicon of modern vulcanology, Plinian. A Plinian eruption is now defined as an almighty, explosive eruption that all but destroys the entire volcano from which it emanates. And the most devastating Plinian event of the modern era occurred 1,804 years, almost to the day, after Pliny the Elder's death: at Krakatoa.)
Pepper has a confused reputation. There is no truth, for example, in the widely held belief that it was once used to hide the taste of putrefying meat; this charming thought perhaps derives from the equally delightful notion, still recognized by pharmacists today, that pepper can be used as a carminative, a potion that expels flatulence. But it was very much used as a preservative, and more commonly still as a seasoning. By the tenth century it was being imported into England; the Guild of Pepperers, one of the most ancient of London's city guilds, was established at least before 1180, which was when the body was first recorded (they were in court for some minor infraction); by 1328 the guild had been formally registered as an importer of spices in large, or gross, amounts: its members were called grossarii, from which comes the modern word grocer. Joseph Conrad caught the obsession, in Lord Jim:
The seventeenth-century traders went there for pepper, because the passion for pepper seemed to burn like a flame of love in the breast of Dutch and English adventurers about the time of James the First.* Where wouldn't they go for pepper! For a bag of pepper they would cut each other's throats without hesitation, and would forswear their souls, of which they were so careful otherwise: the bizarre obstinacy of that desire made them defy death in a thousand shapes; the unknown seas, the loathsome and strange diseases; wounds, captivity, hunger, pestilence, and despair. It made them great! By heavens! it made them heroic . . .

San Francisco Theological Seminary
San Anselmo, California 94960
Phone: 415/451-2843
We'd love it if you would mention that you found San Francisco Theological Seminary on the Here Comes The Guide website.
Why We Like This Place
When they first see a photograph of this place, many people remark that it looks like a castle on a wooded Scottish brae or a medieval village in central Europe. It's easy to understand why this seminary on a hill evokes such romantic associations. First there's Montgomery Memorial Chapel, a graceful stone church near the seminary's main entrance that is one of its two most popular wedding sites. Then, up the hill, there's Stewart Memorial Chapel at Geneva Hall, a splendid white church with an arcade, a soaring campanile, a terrace that overlooks a breathtaking view, and stained-glass windows whose intense colors rival those of Europe's cathedrals.
In between the two ceremony venues is a tree-shaded campus with grand lawns, weathered moss-covered stone walls, classrooms, Victorian homes for faculty members and rock-faced administration buildings that evoke the allure of historic citadels. The most popular reception site is the Geneva Hall terrace, a curving sweep of stone that provides one of the most stunning panoramas in Marin: the north flank of Mt. Tamalpais; Ross Township's redwood-covered ridges; Red Hill; the seminary's signature stone academic buildings; and views down the Ross Valley.
There's a more prosaic form of beauty here, too: Because the seminary is a religious nonprofit entity, it can offer its beautiful grounds and facilities at prices that are considered quite competitive by Marin County standards.
The seminary has another deal sweetener—a Victorian home available for small prenuptial parties or a pre-wedding stay. You can rest overnight at the seminary, then awaken fresh the next morning, knowing you don't have to travel anywhere for the big day. The seminary also has a 28-room dorm-style retreat center, which allows close friends and family to lodge together. Keeping so many of your loved ones nearby makes it easy to turn your wedding into a destination weekend.
Besides a choice of romantic chapels and the campus' overall enticing feel, couples also like the unlimited parking and almost universal accessibility for their disabled guests. This site is like a good day that just keeps getting better. First, the drive here takes you through some of Marin's loveliest, leafiest neighborhoods, and then the campus itself charms you with its meandering lanes, compelling architecture and one-of-a-kind vistas in a county famous for its views. Once it wins you over, any other venue just won't feel as right.

The injury, however, may have led to her PR a few months later, and it helped reconfigure her training strategy. In recovering, Nalepa put in hours of solid work even though she couldn't run: "I was really working hard in the pool [running], on the elliptical trainer, on the bike." Later she added unloaded treadmill running. Her success at Beach to Beacon confirmed her choices. "It really opened my eyes to crosstraining," she confirms. "In the past I thought I could crosstrain just to stay fit for the average person, but I never thought I could crosstrain and still compete—like run under 33 minutes for a 10K."
Crosstraining also lets her use her limited time—she's a trauma and orthopedics nurse—to fullest advantage. "She has two speeds," notes agent Karen Locke, "sleeping and running."
Nalepa, 32, remembers soccer, running and sports in general as integral parts of her childhood. Because her father was in the Army, she and her brother grew up all over the world. When she couldn't find girls' soccer teams, she played on boys' teams. "I could usually outrun the boys," she recalls. It helped that her mother was an avid tennis player, soccer player, and runner. In fact, Ruth Nalepa holds the women's 50-54 age group course record of 40:51 in the Austin American-Statesman Capitol 10K, set in 1994 (Natalie holds the third fastest women's time for the course, 33:43 set in 1997).
Nalepa (the younger) first explored her talent seriously when she started at Baylor University as a miler and half-miler in 1989, the year the school founded its women's running program. Recruiters had tapped sure talent in Nalepa: she was a five-time NCAA All-American, and in 1991 racked up a quintet of Southwest Conference championships: indoor mile and indoor 3,000m, as well as outdoor 1500m, 3,000m, and 5,000m titles.
Nalepa's dream today is to give more time to the roads and the track. As a member of the New Balance team, she receives a small travel stipend, but she's hoping to attract more sponsorship. "I look back on my history and see a lot of injuries," she explains, "but I've made a lot of progress. The question is, if I want to compete on this level, what do I need to do to stay healthy? I want to get to where I'm staying consistent."

When You Close Your Eyes - Night Ranger
What do you do when it's falling apart
And you knew it was going from the very start
Do you close your eyes...and dream about me?
A girl in love with a gleam in your eye
I was a younger boy....all dressed in white
We're older now....but do you still think about me?
I remember we learned about love in the back of a Chevrolet
It felt so good to be young......feels like yesterday.....
When you close your eyes.....Do you dream (dream) about me?
When you close your eyes.....Do you dream about me?
Do you still dream about me?
I guess I don't know what I'm thinkin'
Comin' off a hard night of drinkin'
Angie come closer to me, I need a soul to bleed on..
Well it coulda been done in a different kind of way
But that ain't you, you play tough when you play
It's over now.....but do you still think about me?
I remember I held you so tight and we danced the night away
With the moves of two wide-eyed kids...I need you so much today....
I remember we learned about love in the back of a Chevrolet
No good for an old memory to mean so much today

The 16 year-old lost the British National Cup to Pete Waterfield in February before missing the British Championships in May with a niggling back problem.
Then, at the start of a gruelling three months away from home, he was forced to pull out on the eve of his first dive at the European Championships in Hungary after picking up a triceps injury.
The Plymouth diver subsequently competed in only the 3m platform at the Youth Olympic Games in Singapore with his signature 10m event proving a step too far in his bid to recover in time for Delhi.
But Daley, who has begun A Levels in maths, Spanish and photography, said: "It has been frustrating not being able to compete this summer. But I have been doing some of the best dives of my career in training in the build up to the Commonwealth Games."
Daley will be battling against Australia's Olympic champion Matthew Mitcham next week and admitted that he will be diving into unchartered waters.
He said: "It has been refreshing to get back on the 10m board. It has almost been like learning from scratch. Not so much like a new new technique but almost like it is good to be back in diving again."
The 2012 Olympic hopeful, who is set to partner Max Brick in the synchro event after Waterfield pulled out of the Games citing Dengue fever concerns, believes Delhi will add to his growing experience of major competitions as London approaches.
Forget, too, the snakes and potential broken beds in the athletes' village environment. Daley had no qualms about travelling to Delhi and wants to be part of the multi-sport event which he sees as "all invaluable experience".
He said: "It is good to go and practice in an Olympic environment where you are in a village as opposed to a hotel all the time."
Meanwhile, Greg Louganis, the former double Olympic champion, believes that Daley will be a major force come London 2012 despite his injury setbacks.
Louganis, 50, said: "He has been through a rigorous schedule, so his injuries have been understandable.
"Once you reach that level the main aim is to stay healthy and keep off the injury list.
"With a triceps injury, time off is the main importance. But it is nothing major. I believe 2012 will come at the right time for Tom and his mindset will be a major impact by then."
Tom Daley will be representing England at the Commonwealth Games in Delhi this October. Follow his progress at www.tomdaley.tv


text: Haven't been shopping a lot over the last few months, Just get the necessities and scram. But I had time to linger over the chip aisle decided to get a bag of Cheeto Puffs. Opened it yesterday and good golly they got really big! I mean huge! Maybe 4 times larger than what I had the last time I bought them. I don't get them that often, but after eating them for the past 20-30 years I was stunned to see what they had turned into. And they don't taste the same at ALL! Too much puff and not enough cheese. What the hey-who happened? There was no hint, on the package, that I got the super sized version, so is this how they will be from now on? Gosh, I sure hope not! Anyone else seen this or is it a cruel joke only here in Houston?

Bill Davis to speak in Blackduck
A former cell mate of Charles Manson will be speaking in Blackduck at the multi purpose room in the Blackduck High School at 7 p.m. Aug. 25.
Bill Davis, son of a Florida police detective, had a rebellious attitude which led to his premature discharge from the Air Force. His continued antisocial behavior led to a life of crime, drugs and repeated imprisonment. With his body suffering from the ill effects of alcohol, drugs and a rebellious lifestyle, he was dramatically changed by Jesus Christ in 1972.
After his transformation, Davis engaged in street ministry where he saw many lives radically changed. He began working with young people and shared his story in high schools and universities throughout the world.
His message of hope and the ability to make a fresh start through God's grace has affected many.
A freewill offering will be received that evening. This event has been arranged by Faith Lutheran Church in Blackduck.

Dogs love them

I have bought Danish Design Waterproof Duvets for all 3 of my dogs for the last 6 years. The covers do eventually wear out so the replacement covers are also incredibly useful. The beds are so comfortable that when our oldest lab stayed with my mother her 2 labs wanted his bed too, so hence I have bought them new duvets for Christmas this year!
Super bed

Excellent beds, warm and wayerproof. Our two little dogs love them. By far the best beds we have bought so far. Also excellent customer service.

This is an excellent dog mattress. Portable, strong, practical, waterproof and comfortable. Dogs race each other to get to it first. Have purchased a second. Medium size is perfect for our Springer Collie cross but the Jack Russel typically bullies him off it!
Great Bed
posted on 23/02/2017 20:31:36 by nicky
This bed is really good value. The outside is hard wearing and there is plenty of filling. It took a few days for the dogs to settle and for the beds to soften but they love them now.
Well worth the cost

Excellent product, hard wearing and practical, whilst being very comfortable for our dogs
Excellent customer service
posted on 02/02/2017 12:29:02 by Charlie
This bed is comparatively expensive but seemed good quality and durable. I was surprised when the zip of the cover broke after very little use. However,after a phone call to customer services, it was replaced and arrived the following day.
Really good quality bed
posted on 17/01/2017 21:37:07 by Sam
Was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of this dog bed. For the price I thought it would be made of thin material but it is not. We've not had it long but my dog enjoys it and finally doesn't have a soggy bed to lie in. As he is only young he has destroyed several cheap beds previously. He hasn't touched this though and don't think he will as you can feel the quality of the material. Would definitely buy again.

Waterproof bed for my dog so great - I bought 2
Great new bed
posted on 13/12/2016 20:29:44 by cihuk
We bought this duvet to go along with the Danish Design cage mattress we use. Same excellent quality, appears to be very hard wearing and easily cleaned. We were unsure whether to order Med or Lge, but Med suits our GSD fine as he is not a big dog (30kgs). If you had a larger GSD or Lab than this you might be better off with the Lge if you have the space. Would happily buy this bed again.
Great Service

Duvet exactly as advertised but service was outstanding. Thanks
Waterproof but not chew proof!
posted on 14/11/2016 20:09:16 by Blair
I had hoped that this would be puppy proof - sadly it isn't and she'd chewed a hole in it on the first night. However it is waterproof, so good for 'accidents' and seems v comfy. Value for money just shame our puppy managed to chew through it easily.
posted on 31/10/2016 20:18:25 by adeandlin
We have now bought 5 of these beds. Initially 3 for the house (2 dogs, 1 cat - but the cat likes to claim them all...) . We have also bought 2 for our caravan as these are superb & all the animals love them!
Excellent product
posted on 28/09/2016 20:30:15 by Steve Garwood
I have bought many types of waterproof dog beds. These seem to be a good product but unfortunately I don't know how durable they are as my spaniel is back in one of her chewing phases.
Great item - well made
posted on 04/09/2016 12:24:38 by magicmadge
brought this dog bed after reading reviews about it. well made in comparison to previous dog beds i've purchased, its well padded and he seems to like it and great because easy to clean with antibac spray and doesn't hold all the hairs like previous beds did. i purchased medium bed for my staffy and is big enough for him to stretch out.also purchased spare cover. would recommend bed as really well made and would buy this style again as best made bed i've purchased.
Exactly what you'd expect
posted on 27/07/2016 13:45:08 by foreverslk
Durable, Waterproof, Quality, Value, the list of positive description could go on and on. Like the title, it is exactly what you'd expect from the item description, it is thick enough for even a big dog to lay comfortably and now we can hardly get our dog off of it!
Great bed.
posted on 30/06/2016 20:25:33 by Jo
Brilliant bed, tough, waterproof and comfy with thick inner. My one and only complaint is that my dog ruins zips. Can someone please invent a bed with a totally concealed zip....maybe a flap to fold over zip and to go under bed?
Blade loves them

Very slippy fabric
posted on 11/02/2015 22:24:37 by claremcgowan123
Good quality but the fabric is so slippy that my dog refuses to use it as he tends to slide off The edges taper hence bed seems smaller than dimensions He is a collie and the medium is far too small

The dog beds arrived within days of being ordered. They are well made and both dogs are using them although they were a bit slow to start with because of the material. I put a towel on them and then no problems.
Fantastic beds

We bought two x28a medium and largex29 for our shepherd x collie We have in the past wasted a great deal of money on beds with nice comfortable padding but the thin cheap black underside material Our collie has destroyed other beds in a matter of days However these robust waterproof beds have now survived a period of months So easy to clean x28we mop the exteriorx29and weve been able to hide the zips from our collie she enjoys removing zips from clothing beds and similar The beds have survived so far and are still in great condition I would highly recommened these for ease of use padding and quality

My 8 month old very nervous cocker spaniel puppy was hesitant with the change to his bedding but within 24 hours had completely taken to it It is brilliant for not showing the wet and muddy spots He is always wet and dirty after walks and it does not matter that as soon as in the door he dashes to his bed I happily recommend the product

Our dogs always like to lay in their outside baskets when they return from their morning run They can sometimes have muddy paws and these cushions are very comfy for them to relax in while their paws are drying then the cushions can be hosed down Brilliant idea and very good value for such a superior product

I bought two large duvets for the back of my 4 by 4 as my 2 German shepherds access all the back of the vehicle behind the drivers seat I can honestly say its one of the best things I have ever bought Its practical and really comfortable for the dogs they both absolutely love it and took to it straight away No more washing the old bedding and towels I used before I have recommended it to everyone in our training group
The Best Beds

These water proof beds are perfect for my often muddy dogs They are very robust my oldest dog had destroyed previous makes with rigorous nest making techniques There is not a mark on these beds after his antics They are very light and easy to move around if they get very muddy I just take them outside and use the hose Pipe to clean them I was so impressed with them Ive bought an other one for the boot of the car
Cats think its great
posted on 18/04/2014 21:48:55 by vixfoxwatch
I read all the reviews before buying and saw some owners cats liked this bed. Yes Im tired of breaking my back vacuuming the cats beds as hairs weave their way into fabric and its murder trying to get them ou.t Of course cats have the unfortunate habit of fetching up hair balls on their bedding too. Wipe clean just the job. Would MY cats find the bed noisy. Not a bit of it. My six all snuggle up on it and hairs sticking to their bed. A thing of the past YIPPEE at last a bed suitable for cats and not their fur. Please PetPlanet list this product under CATS BEDDING and do cat owners a HUGE favour. Delighted. You bet.
Great bed

Should have bought the large size
posted on 13/04/2012 10:36:15 by lynne99
I have a small GSD and bought the medium size as I thought it would be big enough for her Should have bought the large size but that was my fault The product is fine and actually fits inside the Danish Design Pet Lounger that I bought previously so it will not go to waste Once she got used to the noise and the fact that it slipped a bit if she got onto it with too much enthusiasm it has proved very popular with her

I have had many dog beds over the years from cheap to silly prices but none have come close to these They do not seem to flatten and the hairs do not form a carpet on them so are a doddle to keep clean My dogs who used to prefer the couch now spend most of their time on these which speaks volumes
Very practical but dog hated it
posted on 02/02/2011 20:40:14 by Spaniel owner
I ordered this product after reading the good reviews for it. When it arrived it looked practical and easy to clean, just what I was hoping for. However, my Spaniel absolutely hated it due to the noise the material makes and the sound of air squeezing out of it when he jumped on it. That first jump of exploration was to be his last and he preferred to sleep on the floor! I ended up sending it back. If you have a slightly timid dog then I would think twice before buying it.
furbabes luv it!!!!

5 of my small doggies took over the bed, it was for my old boy so had to buy another large one, he was a bit wary at first but once on he stayed there, have now ordered a 3rd!!!! fantastic no more washing dirty bedding just a wipe down or hose down & leave outside for a few mins - best bed ever & i have my couch back - thank you from the me & furbabes
All three dogs love the bed!
posted on 29/04/2010 20:38:44 by JILL
After looking at this product for quite some time, I decided to buy one and a spare cover whilst the sale was on! I am not disappointed at all, the Leonberger got straight on it and the two Labradors look on lovingly!!! Think I shall have to buy another two when their present beds give up the ghost! The noise is not a problem and after a couple of days, you don't even notice it. An extremely successful purchase, thank you!
I loved them, dogs didn't agree though.
posted on 15/04/2010 18:51:43 by Dukedom
Bought 2 of these for my Smooth Collies. I loved them but unfortunately, they didn't feel the same, as they found the covers too slippery due to the high loft in the duvets. One thing to say, due to the high loft you should buy the bigger size. Very pleased with the service that I have recieved from staff at Pet Planet though. Thanks. Will be using you again.
Good quality
posted on 28/10/2009 07:56:16 by Kate
No more ashing of dog bed covers. The duvet plumps up well although you have too this regularly to keep it from going flat. My dog doesn't mind the noise it makes when she lays on it and I am now buying another one for my new dog.
good comfortable bed
posted on 19/09/2008 20:23:41 by jaymc
my chocolate labrador loves this duvet, I bought the medium size and it is just big enough for her as I am limited for space in my utility room where she sleeps, I would recommend getting the bigger one, space permitting, for any breed as big or bigger than a labrador, though my dog makes herself very comfortable on this size. very easy to clean, but have to have towels at hand to keep drying it off.
accepted well

Our Bullmastiff really likes her new duvet as it keeps her warm at night, it is also waterproof which means we only have to wipe it off with a cloth, We have recommended this product to some of our friends. The duvet is also used in the car as it is hardwearing and keeps the car clean.

This is a good quality duvet for active doggies. However, I was a little disappointed to see I cannot wash the covers but instead you have to "wipe clean". This is not always the best option when your dog has been runiing through smelly areas like a farm! On the whole a good purchase.

The injuries keep mounting for the Orioles.
Second baseman Robert Andino left today's game in the top of the sixth inning after appearing to jam his left shoulder while diving for a ball.
Alex Avila singled to score Prince Fielder and extend Detroit's lead to 3-0. Andino continued to lie face-down on the ground, as if frustrated that the ball got past him. He actually was dealing with the pain.
Andino paced around the infield with assistant athletic trainer Brian Ebel at his side and eventually walked to the dugout. Andino winced when Ebel tested the shoulder, and he clearly was frustrated as he disappeared down the dugout tunnel.
Ryan Flaherty has replaced Andino. Steve Tolleson also can play second base.
We're waiting for the Orioles to provide an update.
Andino went 0-for-2 today and is batting .230 with five homers and 21 RBIs. He became the regular second baseman again after Brian Roberts returned to the disabled list with a hip injury.
Roberts still hasn't decided whether to undergo surgery to repair a torn labrum in the hip.
Miguel Gonzalez allowed three runs and six hits in 5 2/3 innings, with five walks and three strikeouts. He threw 100 pitches, 59 for strikes. Luis Ayala replaced him with the bases loaded and retired Don Kelly on a ground ball.
Today's attendance: 30,439.
Down on the farm, Brian Matusz is still listed as Triple-A Norfolk's starter today, further confirmation that he won't be called up to make Wednesday's start in Minnesota.

LOS ANGELES — New Sensations has announced the release of "The Cute Little Babysitter 5," the newest volume in its nanny series.
Directed by Paul Woodcrest, the four-story vignette presents starlets Sara Luvv, August Ames, Abby Cross, and Carmen Caliente as seductive sitters enjoying secret trysts with married fathers.
"We're excited to be releasing a new volume of 'The Cute Little Babysitter,'" New Sensations Media Sales Director Belle Taylor said. "The babysitting and teen genres remain as popular as ever, and demand for a new 'Cute Little Babysitter' has been remarkable."
The title catches four babysitters as they entice family men to cheat on their wives. Cover girl Sara Luvv can't be laid off if she just wants to get laid by financially-strapped father Ramon Nomar. August Ames knows she'll lose her job if Erik Everhard's wife discovers their affair. But fortunately for both, keeping secrets turns her on. Abby Cross fulfills bad-dad James Deen's fantasy to fuck a babysitter and is thrilled to be taken roughly. Carmen Caliente soars to new sexual heights with Toni Ribas while his wife boards a flight out of town.
"We have some really hot girls playing the babysitters in this movie," Woodcrest said. "They have that innocent look to them that fans of the genre go crazy for. It really brings the fantasy to life. Each girl approached her role differently, with some choosing to be sweet and coy and others more in-your-face and let's do this!"
"The Cute Little Babysitter" launched in 2014 and is known for featuring many of today's top rising stars including Carter Cruise, Dakota Skye and Karla Kush.
"The Cute Little Babysitter 5" has a runtime of 136 minutes and includes an exclusive photo gallery, a candid Behind-the-Scenes featurette, and bonus scenes.

Sportsmanship impresses Cooney
The GAA has decided against bringing any disciplinary measures before next year's Annual Congress in Downpatrick.
It had been expected after the narrow failure to secure a two-thirds majority last April that the GAA would return with revised proposals given the broad support for the experimental rules which were in place during the Allianz football and hurling leagues.
"Central Council after reviewing this year's championship didn't deem it necessary to bring forward a new disciplinary package," said GAA president Christy Cooney.
"We will of course be asking referees to penalise very strongly foul play according to rule.
"But we have been greatly encouraged by the level of sportsmanship throughout the championship season."
This development will come as some surprise to many who had pushed for reforms at Congress earlier this year.
Despite opposition from a number of high profile county managers the statistical research supporting the reforms was very persuasive. There have been no high profile outbreaks of indiscipline and disorder to far, but there is little evidence to suggest that cynical fouling has decreased dramatically,.
Events last Sunday at both Omagh and Breffni Park would suggest though that the GAA must be forever vigilant.
There was an undercurrent to the St Galls and Cavan Gaels match that has no place in the sport.
The fact Gaels finished the match with only 12 players says so much about Cavan football and their inability to maintain discipline under pressure.
Ironically the Tyrone final clash of Dromore and Ardboe, one of the best deciders in decades, was marred by an incident at the finish when referee Sean Quinn was struck on leaving the pitch.
The AIB Ulster club football championship gathers momentum later this month and it's important that referees stay vigilant and clamp down at the earliest sign of foul play .
Meanwhile the draw has been made for the Northern Bank Ulster Club Minor Football Champions' tournament, organised by St Paul's GAC, Belfast.
Preliminary Round: (a) Armagh Harps v Killann Gaels (Cavan). First Round: (b) Creggan (Antrim) v Scotstown); (c) Kilcoo (Down) v Glenties (Donegal); (d) Dungiven (Derry) v Belcoo (Fermanagh); (e) Omagh (Tyrone) v (a). Sunday, December 20: First Semi-final: (b) v (c). Saturday, December 26:- Second Semi-final (d) v (e). Friday, January 1: Final.
The dates for the preliminary and first rounds will be announced later. All games at St Paul's Complex, Shaw's Road, Belfast with 1.30pm throw-in.
It's a competition that grows in popularity with each passing year and some of the biggest stars in the sport first made their name at the Shaw's Road venue.

Millions in stolen property, revolting sex crimes, and murder-for-hire were all in the mix for a Las Vegas police detective, as he toiled to take Sin City's most prolific criminal off the streets for good. Detective Bradley Nickell brings you the inside scoop on the investigation, arrest, and conviction of the most prolific repeat offender Las Vegas has ever known.
Daimon Monroe looked like an average guy, raising a family with his diffident schoolteacher girlfriend. But just below the surface, he was an accomplished thief with an uncontrollable lust for excess. His criminal mind had no bounds - he was capable of anything given the proper circumstances. You will be revolted by Monroe's amassed wealth through thievery; his plots to kill Detective Nickell, a judge, and a prosecutor; and the physical and sexual abuse to which Monroe subjected his daughters.
"If you like mayhem, madness, and suspense, Repeat Offender is the book to read. It's a provocative journey into a world one rarely uncovers, with shocking twists and turns...." (Aphrodite Jones, New York Times best-selling author of Cruel Sacrifice)
"This will be the ride-along of your life. Repeat Offender takes you here, there and everywhere, into the world of repeat offenders, cops, justice and injustice..... Fasten your seat belts!" (Anne Bremner, high-profile attorney and internationally recognized television legal analyst)

Thoroughly enjoyable true crime tale

True Crime
With non-fiction the story is what it is. This author obviously knew he had a good story to share and paired up with an excellent narrator, he came up with a winner. Because I work in the criminal justice field I had an appreciation for this story and the resources it took to bring this criminal to justice.
Detective Nickell. Even though Monroe's actions created countless victims, Nickell's perseverance, experience, intelligence, and compassion eliminated future victims and made the Las Vegas community a safer place.
Everything. Pierce was a perfect narrator for this story. He was convincing with a perfect pace and spot on inflection.
This book was provided by the narrator at no cost in exchange for an honest review.
