April Fools' Day 2011
For April Fools' Day 2011 several fools were prepared by ArenaNet and the communities.
Contents |
[edit] ArenaNet's fool
In the middle of the day, ArenaNet started with their reveal of the Commando, a military-trained soldier profession. The reveal included the typical profession description complete with in-game videos of certain skills.
Along with the reveal of the Guild Wars 2 profession, they announced that players of the orginal Guild Wars could try out the commando on the same day. A subsequent update really added a new NPC and a helicopter to Embark Beach which offered a new quest in which player would travel back in time as a commando. The quest was available over the whole weekend.
Along with the in-game changes of the original Guild Wars, ArenaNet also released a game update log, as every year, which included several humorous changes.
[edit] Community fools
[edit] The Shadowmancer
The Guild Wars 2 Wiki was the first to start a fool. At 0:00 UTC articles about the Shadowmancer, the "exclusively revealed 7th profession", went live and it was announced via Twitter. Over the day the article received over 30,000 views, and the link distributed via Twitter was clicked 750 times. Several communities, for example Guild Wars 2 Guru, supported the distribution and made the Shadowmancer fool a huge success.
The wiki also prepared a script that displayed every single word in New Krytan.
[edit] The Alchemist
Shortly after the Shadowmancer was revealed, the german community Wartower revealed their profession: the Alchemist. Part of the reveal was a faked website showing the reveal on the official website, along with the typical description and skill videos. The latter however showed a YouTube video of "Pink Fluffy Unicorns Dancing on Rainbows". The Alchemist was a reference to the community member Phoenix Tears.
[edit] Other fools
- Guild Wars 2 Guru released an interview in which ArenaNet announced that Guild Wars 2 would be only developed for the iPad.
- GuildWiki created a new policy GW:STFU disallowing any discussion.
- The german GuildWiki rotated all pages by a small degree.
[edit] See also
The Guild Wars Wiki has an article on April Fools' Day 2011. |

Although we think that John McCain may still be in the midst of some sort of convention bump, so far there has been no real letting up of his improved performance in state-level polling:
Ignore, for a moment, the series of Internet-based polls that John Zogby released today. What else do we see?
We see John McCain continue to consolidate his advantage in red states like Utah and South Dakota.
We see Nevada polling pretty close to the national averages, as it has all year. Right now, our model forecasts a 2.2-point victory for John McCain in Nevada, versus a 2.4-point victory nationwide. Just as was the case when Barack Obama was leading in the national polls, the key metric for determining resource allocation is not a state's standing in the absolute sense, but where it stands relative to the national numbers. Nevada remains an important state because it's polling so close to the national averages. Conversely, something like Wisconsin, though certainly winnable for John McCain, is polling about 7 points better for the Democrats than their national estimate, which means that it is unlikely to be a decisive state. New Jersey is also a good example. We see some evidence that it has tightened (Marist has him 7 points ahead among registered voters -- the version we will use until the first debate -- but just 3 points ahead among likely voters). But it is still polling at a considerable enough distance from Obama's national averages that it is unlikely to serve as any sort of tipping point.
We do see a couple of polls showing Obama's numbers holding up reasonably well in the Pacific Northwest, though the Elway poll in Washington is a bit weird. They split their sample into two, using different phrasings for each group; half the sample was asked a question that included the names of the VP candidates (e.g. "Barack Obama and Joe Biden") and half got the top of the ticket only. Obama led by 9 points with the veeps included and 6 points without. Each of these are perfectly valid ways to ask the horse race question, so we simply average the two numbers and combine the samples.
...As for the Zogby Interactive polls, I tend to prefer to let them speak for themselves. Obama ahead in North Carolina but 6-7 points down in Virginia? I don't find that especially credible. Anyway, they're in our model, but given a very low weight.
I've also made one methodological fix. Alaska, because of the selection of Sarah Palin, was having some weird effects on our various sorts of regression analysis that we use throughout our model. Alaska has a lot of young voters, for instance, and so when the model sees that McCain has picked up 20 points or so in Alaska, it says "Gee Whiz! Obama must be tanking among young voters!". So in other states with a lot of young voters, like Colorado, Obama was getting harmed by this, whereas the opposite might have been true in a state without many young voters like Florida. But really this pattern had nothing to do with young voters, and everything to do with the fact that Alaska is Sarah Palin's home base; it hadn't manifested itself in other states with substantial youth populations. To correct for this, I have simply pulled Alaska (and Delaware) from the sample whenever we're calculating a regression, which produces what I find to be somewhat more intuitive-looking results.

Abstract Detail |
Gender aftereffects in adults with autism spectrum disorder43.436, Monday, May 13, 8:30 am - 12:30 pm, Orchid Ballroom Jennifer Walsh1, M.D. Rutherford1, Mark Vida1; 1Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour, McMaster University Faces convey information that is crucial for social interactions, including identity, emotion and gender. Facial aftereffects have been used to explore the face categories, the psychological relationship among categories, and whether they are coded with the same, different, or overlapping neural networks. For example, adapting to distorted (e.g., contracted facial features) male faces will shift perception of subsequently viewed male faces in the direction of the distortion (i.e., contracted male faces will be perceived as more normal looking), known as a simple aftereffect. If female faces are encoded with an overlapping neural network, then an aftereffect will also be evident when female faces are used during testing. Previous research has shown just that: in typical individuals, adapting to distorted faces from one gender will create aftereffects for faces of both genders, so male and female faces are coded with overlapping networks. In the current study we examined whether adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show aftereffects when faces of one gender are used during training, and faces of the opposite gender are used during test. This would be evidence of overlapping neural representation of the two genders. Nineteen adults with ASD and 16 controls rated faces that ranged from extremely contracted to extremely expanded before and after being adapting to contracted or expanded faces from a single gender. Aftereffects were measured for each gender by calculating the change in distortion level rated most normal before and after adaptation. Consistent with previous work, typical individuals showed cross-gender aftereffects. Adults with ASD showed similar cross-gender aftereffects, suggesting that for this population, overlapping neural networks encode male and female faces . With these results we can rule out the possibility that male and female faces are represented entirely separately in ASD. < Back |

I think fun and reasonable expense is the key to a successful event in this economy. I'm willing to try a Mini-IMAC event next year. I feel Mini-IMAC will be a better fit with the popular airframe of today (scale aerobatic airframe). Ken |

I asked a bit about Mini-Imac from the pres of the IMAC group. Here is what I received back. It answers a few questions about what it was about.
Ken Hi there Ken.... Thank you for your input. In the long past, we HAD an "mini-Mac" event which was combined with the actual contest itself. When registering at a contest, the pilot would indicate on his form if he/she was entering the "Mini-Mac" series. The pilot would still compete in the class that he/she was registered during the contest.....at the end of the contest, the scorekeeper would have a separate print-out for the "mini-Mac" class. So....in effect, IMAC has already gone down that road. It seems that the Mini-Mac option died a natural death because no one participated any longer. Yes.... the pilots used the same sequences that were officially published and were scored in the same manner as they were flying at the same time during the contest before the same judges. The only difference, was that at the end, the scorekeeper printed out a different set of results. I do not know where to direct you regarding finding information on Mini-Mac, since it has not been utilized for quite some time and I do not have any present information on it. Maybe you could contact a previous Secretary of the Club (Roy Barrow firstname.lastname@example.com ) who may be able to shed some light on it for you. At this time, because of previous experience at an attempt to have this class, I do not see us gearing to do it for now. We do have the 2014 IMAC World Championship event in front of us and our energies will be channeled in that direction. Best regards, Wayne (Matthews) |

A shamless bump and additional info and opinions....
It appears the IMAC group is not interested in Mini-IMAC. I can understand their commitment to the upcoming WC, and if my reading between the lines is correct, no interest for the foreseeable future. From what I could find it looks like the mini's were limited to .40 size planes. IMO this is pretty small but absolutely doable in the basic class. As has been suggested up to 30cc or 50cc would be an upper limit. I think the sweet spot for the mini's would be in the 90 2c to 120 4c range????? If Mini-IMAC were to have a chance it would need to be a stand alone event. Not held in conjunction with an IMAC event. That would be perfect as in this central part of the country, Iowa, Minnesota, West of the Mississippi for quite a ways, there is no IMAC to speak of. Is there anybody out there that would be willing to commit to something next flying season? Not necessarily hosting a contest but at least flying in one? What would be your upper limit of miles to travel to a contest? One day or two day contest? Two days is a large commitment for a clubs and contestants alike. What is the upper size limit YOU think should be allowed? Opinions welcome!! Ken |

At least on my part, no apology needed Brian. You were/are just exploring another aspect of the hobby.
I feel with the explosion of smaller "scale" airframes in that 60 2C to 50cc size Mini-Mac should be a viable entity. IMO, Mini-Mac should be a stand alone entity. It should not ride on the coat tails of IMAC nor should it detract from Classic or Senior pattern. I think holding a Mini-Mac contest in conjunction with a IMAC contest is just to intimidating to the pilot of the small airframe.... and the fact it was limited to a .40 size plane to boot. With a revision limiting the upper size to 30cc or 50cc it is affordable and the size difference is not so great. Use the IMAC sequences or the pattern schedule, it doesn't really matter. The skills will work both directions if the Mini pilot wants to go IMAC or Pattern at a later date. The point is a new pilot will be flying in a competitive event. Where it goes is up to them. Ken |

mini mac
No offense taken here. I was just trying to clarify my remarks.
My point is; the best pilot will win, not the biggest plane. I watched a guy flying an old, beat up, .46 sized version of an ugly stick win the Novice class in our latest SPA event. He was competing against folks flying the newest and (supposedly) best equipment on the market (e.g Phoenix 7, Dirty Birdie, etc.). There were 8 entries with a variety of planes in his class and he beat 7 other pilots flying a simple and visually ugly airplane. However, he has very good servos in it and is a very good pilot. Oh, almost forgot ...he's also using an old 72mhz transmitter (don't remember the brand) and I don't think it has expo or dual rates. You should at least go and watch a contest to see how things are run and what the truth really is before you jump in with both feet. Don't let anyone discourage you and don't feel intimidated just because you have the smallest plane. SPA has a Novice B class where you can fly any airplane as long as the engine does not exceed the specified limit. You can fly any plane in the IMAC Basic class. Hope I didn't raise anyone's blood pressure with my posts here. RJ |

I have seen the opposite. I saw someone fly a small .60 sized pattern plane at a VERY well attended pattern contest and he did not score as well as 2M planes in his class even though he flew better. There were quite a few grumbles from the pilots concerning that incident. What made it worse was it was 16-17 year old kid flying what he could afford. He flew it well and was penalized for having a small plane.
The one and only IMAC contest that I flew in, the smaller planes had a much harder times getting a fair shake. This was about 10 years ago, but the 25% planes had to be virtually perfect to get a 9 where as the 30-33%(35% and 40+% were not as popular yet) got them like candy and the piloting was very close. I flew basic with a 2m Sequel, and the Novice class was scored pretty fairly, but the next classes up had the "size" differences in scoring. |

Sorry to hear about those souring experiences. It's a real shame when someone gets cheated. I'm sure it happens but, it's the exception rather than the rule. That's the kind of thing that turns people off and discourages participation. Any club that would allow that will wither and die because folks don't want to be treated dishonestly. I haven't seen that behavior yet but, if I ever do I'll make my opinion known and never go back to that contest again. Don't paint the whole organization with the same brush. What happened at one club/event probably won't happen at the next 10. Remember the judges are human and make mistakes. Some have ego problems and should never sit in a judges chair. We need to weed them out and make sure they don't judge again. Your complaints should be sent to the org. HQ and you should include names. If enough folks complain to the right people you can make sure it doesn't happen again. Everyone has a duty to make things better for the next time. By the way, raking the CD over the coals is a good way to make sure he/she doesn't CD again or ensure he/she selects non-biased judges next time. Unfortunately, judging is a subjective activity. Our judges are selected from experienced volunteers or picked from the participating pilots (of course they don't judge their own class). We here in the South Central Region of IMAC and SPA West have been working hard to educate our judges and get them all reading from the same book. Ignorance of the rules is one reason judging can differ from contest to contest. In my experience, the judging has been consistent at each contest but, inconsistent from contest to contest. I feel like our judges are trying hard to do their best and be fair but, a judge must be sure they are seeing an error and be able to explain that error to the pilot if asked. It's a very difficult job and, as long as humans are involved, I doubt we'll ever get the subjectivity out of it. I have no problem with "honest" mistakes. As long as the judges aren't playing favorites and are trying to be fair I won't have a gripe. BTW ....IMAC will hold the first IMAC World Championship in 2014. It should be a great contest. I may go and watch even though I'm not much of a spectator. If I can't participate, I usually won't attend. RJ |

I cant say that it happened to me at the IMAC. My class was more than fair, heck, I was leading until the unknowns! For me to be leading, other guys should have been questioning those judges!!! I noticed the inequities in the higher classes. I consider myself a comptent judge having been through the NSRCA pattern class at the NATS, and I just thought that some of the guys flying the smaller planes got screwed.
I shy away from IMAC these days simply because I do not like the looks of the planes and the deviations from scale they all seem to have. Likewise, I despise the current 2m widebody pattern planes. This is why I am working on senior/classic pattern planes in a hope that somebody gets some contests going within a 3-4 hours drive of where I live. |

I guess the solution is left to the pilots. Fly the sequence or pattern perfectly and the judges won't have anything to mark you down for.
I'm not sure what you mean by deviations from scale but, all "scale" models have deviations from the prototype due to size. You can't soak a prototype in hot water to shrink it to a smaller size and expect it to fly well. The size of the plane makes difference in design. I like IMAC & SPA because of the people involved. We compete but, have a bunch of fun while doing it. So, competing in both venues allows me to have twice as much fun. As for judging ...someone has to do it and if you're going to compete you should be ready to step in to the judges seat once in a while. Remember, no judges, no contest. Besides, learning the rules well enough to judge will make you a better pilot because you will know what they are looking for. Some errors have a greater deduction than others and that may be where some of the perceived judging errors come from. Some errors count 1/2 point off while others are a full point off. Check the rules and you'll see what I'm talking about. Take care and God Bless, RJ |

text: Young people in Zimbabwe, a country with one of the world's highest rates of HIV and AIDS, have told their government officials that the country can only meet its 2015 goal of a zero HIV infection rate if they are involved in policy making. Young Zimbabweans applaud themselves after presenting their demands to their government this week at a special strategy meeting on combating HIV/ AIDS. About 100 youth representatives attended the meeting and argued their input will be key."I need to stand for a change as a youth," says Yeukai Mutazo, 23, from the Young People's Network on Sexual Reproductive Health HIV/AIDS, which organized the meeting. "Even if it is a national emergency, this HIV issue, we are saying anything for the youths without the youths is against the youths."Mutazo notes that the majority of people living with HIV in Zimbabwe are young. More than 14 percent of Zimbabweans between the ages of 15 and 49 have the virus. That is the fifth highest infection rate in the world.In 1999, Zimbabwe became the first country in Africa to introduce a 3 percent tax on salaries to raise money for AIDS treatment and prevention programs. But activists have complained that money is not going where it should - to the many patients still not getting access to medications needed to live with the virus.SolutionsThe activists think they can help address the problems. Madeline Dube of Zimbabwe's National AIDS Council says she hears their call to action and will involve them to reach the country's goal of no new HIV infections in just three years' time."We decided as National AIDS Council [that] we should have representation within the organization, somebody who coordinates the work of young people in terms of HIV and AIDS," Dube says. "We now have Young People's Network on Sexual Reproductive Health HIV/AIDS."Mutazo says better education in the public schools is part of the youth network's agenda."What we want to make noise about is the issue of a comprehensive sexuality education be included in the school curriculum in Zimbabwe," Mutazo adds. "So what we want is that people should know that their sexual and reproductive rights, as well as their health. So when they are taught at school, they will be careful as they grow, they will be empowered and would know how to take care of their health."EducationTatiana Shoumilina, who heads the United Nations AIDS program in Zimbabwe, agrees that educating youths is crucial to fighting the spread of the disease."When it comes to HIV, the young people are at highest risk," she says. "They are more active, they are experimenting, they are not fully aware that they can be affected by a diseases… Sometimes this brings them to a risk of contracting HIV."The youth group also wants more representation on the National AIDS Council - which is the government's policy implementation arm.As Zimbabwe prepares to commemorate this year's World AIDS Day on December 1 - with the slogan "Getting to Zero" - the country faces a massive task. While the United Nations says new HIV infection rates have dropped by 50 percent in Zimbabwe, the country still has 1.2 million people living with the virus.

Horst Rechelbacher
Horst M. Rechelbacher (1941 – February 15, 2014) was the founder of the Aveda Corporation and Intelligent Nutrients.
Early life[edit]
Rechelbacher was born in Klagenfurt, Austria, to a herbalist and shoe maker/designer, the youngest of three brothers. His family apartment overlooked a small salon across the street in central Klagenfurt. During his childhood, Rechelbacher had many opportunities to observe the daily activities of the salon. He was both intrigued and inspired by the salon and when the time came to choose a vocation or continue with a formal education, he chose the salon profession. At age fourteen, he embarked on a three-year apprenticeship in the beauty and salon industry. During his apprenticeship, he was a three-time winner of the Austrian Junior Championships. At seventeen, he moved to Italy and started work at an exclusive salon in Rome.
India and Ayurvedic Influences[edit]
In 1970, Rechelbacher went florida to participate in a number of different competitions. which in where he came up with the idea to open up "aveda" an all natural hair line.
Rechelbacher developed Clove Shampoo and later Cherry Almond Bark Conditioner based on his earlier renditions.
In 1978, he founded Aveda and began to expand the product line into hair, skin and body care, makeup, plant-based purefumes, (aromatherapy) and lifestyle products that were all centered on his newfound convictions.[citation needed] Under his guidance he continued a search for flower and plant ingredients around the globe and focused on working with indigenous peoples in mutually beneficial circumstances.[citation needed]
Following the Exxon Valdez oil spill, Rechelbacher was the first to sign onto the Valdez Principles, now the Ceres principles, joining corporate environmental responsibility with corporate bottom line. In 1992, along with his partner Kiran, he attended the Earth Summit, where three key agreements occurred: the Climate Change Convention, a pre-cursor to the Kyoto Protocol, the Convention on Biological Diversity and an Intellectual Property Rights accord for indigenous peoples that included preventing actions that could be deemed culturally inappropriate and/or cause environmental destruction. Through this convention, Rechelbacher forged a relationship with the Brazilian Yawanawa tribe began a project cultivating uruku and replanting seedlings in deforested areas.
Emerging as one of the hottest cult brands of the decade[citation needed] and as a lovemark brand[clarification needed], Aveda became a global brand itself known for merging two previously divergent concepts - great products and green design for the welfare of the planet and its inhabitants.[citation needed]
Nearly two decades after Rechelbacher incorporated, he sold Aveda to the Estee Lauder Companies but remained a consultant until March 2003.
Intelligent Nutrients[edit]
In the years following the sale of Aveda, Horst became increasingly aware that the beauty industry was stagnating in the face increasing environmental degradation. In addition, new technologies that could better serve the consumer were being underutilized. Rechelbacher's fierce determination to improve the caliber of cosmetic products manifested itself in his latest company Intelligent Nutrients. IN is a certified organic, food-grade, non-toxic plant-based hair, skin, body, aroma and lifestyle company with the primary emphasis on using organically grown ingredients. The IN hair, skin and aromatherapy lines are notable for the USDA Certified Organic seal. Based on nutraceuticals, non-toxics and certified organic food ingredients and flavors, IN also uses post-consumer recycled packaging.
Later, Rechelbacher was a strong advocate within the cosmetic industry against "greenwashing" - misleading marketing claims and so-called organic companies who use the claim "organic" without certification - by bringing transparency and truth to beauty and cosmetic labeling.[citation needed]
Horst & Friends (horstandfriends.com), an Intelligent Nutrients Certified Organic Salon, opened in June 2010 in the Intelligent Nutrients headquarters in Minneapolis.
Recognition and Achievements[edit]
Rechelbacher was recognized throughout his career as a business leader but also has innumerable acknowledgements for excellence in product development. Among his many awards, he was the recipient of an honoris causa doctorate in Ayurveda from Gurukul Mahavidyalaya Twalapur, Haridwar University, in India. Rechelbacher was voted one of the most notable Austrians living in America by the Austrian press, along with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Wolfgang Puck. Vanity Fair magazine voted him as one of the most influential environmentalists in the U.S. in 1995 and again in 2005. He was one of the three original founders of Business for Social Responsibility, which promotes the idea that businesses have the greatest responsibility and opportunity to provide sustainability to all living species. In 2004, he became a founding member of the Organic Center for Education, Research and Promotion, and NAHA - the beauty industry award - honored him with the Lifetime Achievement Award. In 2007, the International Congress of Esthetics and Spa presented Horst with the Crystal Award, and he received the Rachel Carson Award for a Lifetime Commitment to Environmental Ethics & Integrity. Later that year, the Spa & Salon Professional Association Incorporated honored him as an Industry Innovator & Legend for his lifetime contribution to the cosmetology industry. The Twin Cities Business Magazine inducted Horst into their 2008 Minnesota Business Hall of Fame, acknowledging his contributions and recognizing him as one of the states' most accomplished business leaders of all time. In October 2009, the President of Austria awarded Horst the "Decoration of Honour in Gold for Services to the Republic of Austria" called the Gold Star for his exemplary representation of an Austrian business leader.[citation needed] [edit]
Rechelbacher was the founder and chairman of the Horst M. Rechelbacher Foundation, a philanthropic organization dedicated to social and environmental preservation projects that operate on a grass-roots level. He continues to promote sustainable ideals and values through profit and non-profit organizations. He also owned HMR Galleries, an art and antiques business and involved in producing films including the 1999 film Hidden Medicine.[citation needed]
Personal life[edit]
Rechelbacher maintained residences in Minneapolis, Minnesota and New York City. As well as a private estate and a company retreat, the Osceola property serves as an organic farm cultivating flowers and plants while also operating a distillery for the IN products. The farm and home are solar powered.
Rechelbacher was divorced with two children, a son Peter and a daughter Nicole. Nicole is a married mother of three and former accessories and clothing designer for Aveda. Peter is married with a son, and provided expertise in finance and was president of Intelligent Nutrients while at Aveda.
Horst lived and worked with his long-time companion, former vice president of marketing and creative for Aveda, Kiran Stordalen.
Rechelbacher died from pancreatic cancer on February 15, 2014 at the age of 72 at his home in Osceola, Wisconsin.[1]

How does Sally Hayes look?
1 Answer | add yours
Sally Hayes is Holden's very attractive ex-girlfriend. He considers her stupid, possibly because she has an affected, pseudo-sophisticated manner. She is very attractive, and her main motivation is to be young and pretty, which is why Holden calls her"the queen of phonies." Holden is both attracted and repelled by Sally's beauty.

In certain areas of the house the house has an old funky smell. Do I need a vapor barrier ? I think I may have a cracked main sewer pipe that may have leaked into the house. Not sure though. When it is hot I smell septic. The plumber is coming this week. Also how much insulation is needed in the attic? Is there a certain depth that I need? I guess I will have to get up there and crawl around to see what is there. But I really dont know what I am looking for. Maybe I need new insulation. I am tired of trying to figure it out. Should have bought a new home.

You might want to put your nose down by the most stained-looking parts of the carpet and sniff. My whole house smelled like that when I moved in, and I didn't know what it was. I replaced the carpet in both bedrooms because it just looked old and nasty, and it got rid of the smell for me.

I worked at Yum!
Pros – Learned a lot from my team and manager. Treated me as part of the team even though I were only there for 3 months as an intern. Very open workplace office. Met full time scientists that went to same college for network. Had regular interaction with management. Great company culture.
Cons – Drama in other departments. During the three months I were there I saw 3 upper level managers that had worked for Yum for over 10 years be let go. Lots of politics. If your not with the in crowd be prepared to be demoted or moved. Saw this happen several times. Intern pay not too good.
Advice to Senior Management – Value your scientists that are doing the constant product evaluations. Check up on resturants, their quality standards do not match yours.

Not to try and find something ominous in everything any Penn State official ever says, but here's former PSU president Graham Spanier on Joe Paterno from an interview with the New Yorker (that's Paterno, a Catholic with a literature degree who couldn't recall what "sodomy" meant and told a grand jury he didn't "remember" any rumored abuses by Jerry Sandusky beyond the 2001 case):
↵↵He had the most remarkable memory of any human being I've ever met. I'm not exaggerating. I can't tell you how many times we would bump into somebody-let's say it's 1996, or 2010. And we'd be at an event somewhere and he'd spot somebody and he'd say, "Weren't you on the Syracuse team in 1953, when that play occurred and you blocked so-and-so?"

There is no better place for a private pilot to fly to than Abaco and stay in this condo at the Bahama Beach Club. Everything was as detailed and my wife loved the designer furniture and wall treatments. The Beach is one of the best we have ever visited and there are plenty of activities if you need more to do. There is a well stocked grocery store nearby so you don't need to bring anything. I highly recommend this place and will be planning a return visit soon.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, adventure seekers, romantic getaway.

We just got back from our second stay at this condo...our first stay was last summer. This trip was just a good as last year. The condo is in great shape and has just about anything you will need for a beach vacation. There is a nice view from the screened in porch that overlooks the grounds, one of the pools and the beach. The beach is a short walk from the condo and it is absolutely perfect! We had more company on the beach this summer than last, but it is by no means crowded. It is a gorgeous beach! Don't hesitate to rent this place. You won't be disappointed!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This was my first experience with VBRO and it couldn't have gone better. The communication to set up the reservation was wonderful. They communicated quickly and everything discussed was executed. They also provided phone numbers to assist with arrival. The condo was just stunning. It was beautifully decorated, yet comfortable. It had all the amenities you could want (TV and ceiling fans in every room, along with free Wifi which is always nice). I highly recommend this condo over anything else in the complex, you will not be disappointed.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, families with teenagers, romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

If you are going to the Bahama Beach Club, this is the condo that you want to stay in! The owners have done a fantastic job with their place. The condo is up to date, clean and decorated meticulously. We saw a couple of other condos while there and they didn't even come close to the beauty of this condo. We were there during the off season so the pool restaurant hours were less than ideal and the main restaurant was only open 3 nights out of 7 there. However, we rented boats and traveled to different nearby islands on several days and were able to enjoy some restaurants on these islands!Recommended for: Families with teenagers, romantic getaway.

We just spent 9 nights at this condo and we enjoyed it very much. It is equipped with everything you need for a great vacation. The views from the patio are unbelievable! You look right out over the grounds of the complex, the pool and the beach. The beach is one of the best we have ever seen, and no one is on it! Granted, we were there in the off season, but it was perfect. This is a place to come if you want to unwind and totally relax, which is exactly what we did. The complex has a pool bar/restaurant that was only open for lunch while we were there but the menu was fine and had plenty of choices. It is open for dinner during the busier months. We ate at the Spinnaker Restaurant a few times. The food is fine, they really try to do a nice job there. We also at at Treasure Sands which I do recommend. It has a beautiful spot right on the beach and the food is good there, although expensive, as is much of the island. We drove to Marsh Harbor one day for dinner and ate at the Angler Restaurant at the Abaco Beach Resort. That was good too. We took the ferry over to Hope Town one day. Nothing was open because it was in late August, but we had a very nice lunch at the Harbor's Edge Restaurant. I would like to go back to Hope Town when it is busier. Very cute little town and worth a trip over. The people on Abaco are lovely. The owners of this condo were extremely easy to deal with and very helpful with anything questions. I would stay here again and and plan to when we return. You won't be disappointed to rent this condo. It is perfect.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/2

This was a beautiful place to spend our vacation. The pictures did not do it justice. The condo is just as described and no expense was spared in furnishings and decor. You walk in and are instantly taken with the beauty. The owners provided me with the name of their local property manager who did some pre-arrival shopping for us which was a huge plus. The taxi driver they recommended was also very friendly and helpful. The owners made all the planning for our time in Treasue Cay very easy and it was greatly appreciated. We loved seeing the ocean and beautifully landscaped grounds from the lanai. The furniture on the lanai is very comfortable. (much, much better than the plastic furniture I noticed on other porches. The staff there is very friendly especially at the poolside bar where we dined several times. The beauty of the beach and water is breathtaking. I've never felt such soft, deep sand anywhere else. We enjoyed snorkeling the very large reef off of Great Guana Cay and visiting a few other islands with Captain Mark's charter service. I will highly recommend this place to friends and family. The pace is relaxed, the weather is beautiful and I could have walked on that beach foreverDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 1/1

The canister shot-pierced breast plate demonstrates the force of penetration of the firearms of the period. Canister shot consists of cylindrical metal canisters filled with small lead balls and fired by cannons.
The weapon on display is a gun of the type used by the French dragoons, complete with bayonet. It is shorter than an infantry gun but would have had just as good a firing distance : 100 metres.
Bust of Baron Goethals. Born in Brussels in 1782, he served successively in the armies of Austria, France, the Netherlands and of Belgium, depending on the fortunes of the Belgian provinces at the time. He was in Napoleon's army during the Emperor's campaigns and was taken prisoner during the retreat from Russia. After Napoleon's abdication, and after he himself had returned from captivity, he went to serve the Netherlands. At the Battle of Waterloo he commanded the 36th Belgian Chasseurs battalion helping to repel the Imperial Guard from the plateau at Mont-Saint-Jean. On the independence of Belgium he allied himself to the new power and in 1832 became Inspector general of the army and aide de camp to King Leopold 1st.
At the end of the battle Lord Uxbridge, in command of the British cavalry, was hit in the right knee by canister shot and his leg was amputated. The museum has this example of an open prosthesis demonstrating the skills of the craftsmen at that time.
A sabre belonging to an English sapper of the early 19th century. The saw shaped back is a working tool, the blade a defensive weapon. The engineering corps were responsible for constructions or for the creation of obstacles.
It was in this room on the campaign table that Wellington wrote his victory bulletin for the British government. Many of the souvenirs conjure up memories of the Duke.
In the display cabinet: the canteen trunk of General Baron de Constant Rebecque, Chief of staff in the Dutch army. A general officer when on campaign would not deprive himself of a certain level of luxury as this reflected his important status in the hierarchy. The egg-cup set is in silver and vermeil.
Blücher, wounded at Ligny on 16th June, is shown here with his leg in a bandage. Here he can be seen at the Roi d'Espagne inn in Genappe on the evening of 18th June. During their pursuit of the French troops the Prussians seized one of Napoleon's light four-wheeled coaches, containing amongst other things a hat and a State sword.
On the wall between the windows there are two standards that the Emperor should have returned to the National Guard. Each 'département' (administrative subdivision of France) was obliged to raise a regiment of national guards to defend its territory. Note that the 'Champ de Mars' has been changed to 'Champ de Mai'.
The model of Lion Mound, the monument erected by the Dutch at the place where Crown Prince William of Orange-Nassau was injured. The construction of the hill took from 1823 to 1826. Some 30,000m3 of earth form the pyramid, which is 40.5 m high and 169 m in diameter. A stone pillar supports the 28 ton lion made in cast iron with a pedestal of dressed stone.
The « Congreve » rocket, filled with shot, had a range of 2.3 km. This weapon was a British invention (1804) and could be fired 3 to 4 times a minute, but with no great precision.
A 6 lb French cannon, a real trophy of war, greets you in the entrance.
The luminous panels give an hour by hour account of the battle.
Alcove 9 gives an idea of the battle losses.
For over two weeks the medical corps worked tirelessly to help the injured who had been taken into churches, convents and farms all over the region before being evacuated to the urban centres. Tens of thousands of wounded were treated in this immense field hospital. The dead were buried in their thousands in communal graves. This had to be carried out quickly in order to avoid epidemics.

1 . Always Fun
Posted July 30, 2011 by Laurie , Chicago north suburbs
Stephanie Plum novels may be repetitive, one sound like the last and a contain few too many car fires, but they are always fun. After reading something heavier, this luckless bounty hunter and her odd group of friends and acquaintances never fail to make me laugh. And Finger Lickin Fifteen was no different. -
2 . The most boring Stephanie Plum Ever!
Posted January 05, 2011 by Eileen , Homewood, IL
As a big fan of the Stephanie Plum series, I will definitely have to consider whether I want to continue reading Evanovich's books. I was so disappointed. There were very few laughs, the case was uninteresting, Grandma wasn't funny...the whole book was a bust. I only gave the book one star because I couldn't give minus stars! From now on I will pay lots of attention to what rating the majority of other readers give before I continue. Seems like Janet Evanovich is trying to skate by on her previous novels. This one is is a lemon! -
3 . So disappointed
Posted August 14, 2010 by Roz , Burlington, On.
I lasted a little more than half way in this turkey of a book. Convinced, it wouldn't get any better, I determined not to wasted any more of my time on it. Trivial, badly written, uninteresting, I can't imagine who this would appeal to, not me, that's certain. -
Posted January 26, 2010 by Diane , Morrisville
Janet Evanovich is hysterical! I've read almost all of her Stephanie Plum books. They are ALL funny, but this one takes the cake!!!! Its one of those books that has your husband asking, ( Whats so funny?) Be ready to spend an all-nighter with this one. You will not want to put it down. Awesome!!!!!!!!! -
5 . So Funny!
Posted August 21, 2009 by Christi , Panama City, FL
I could not stop laughing in this book! I swear the Plum books just get funnier -
6 . Hysterical
Posted July 26, 2009 by Terri , Oak Park
I have read every book in this series, this ranks as one of the funniest! -
7 . Hilarious
Posted July 13, 2009 by Sandy , Redford
I had to put this book down because I was laughing so hard,. I would try to get the images out of my mind. Very hard to do! Stephanie, Lula and Grandma Mazur are so very, very funny. If you have not read any of Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books, you are really missing out. And in this book - a few new characters - but Peter Pecker took the cake. And Larry the fireman - priceless!!!!

Excerpt from Finger Lickin' Fifteen (Stephanie Plum Series: #15) by Janet Evanovich
WHEN I WAS a kid, I was afraid of spiders and vegetables. As an adult, I've eliminated vegetables from my fright-o-meter, but I've added a whole bunch of other stuff. Homicidal maniacs, serial rapists, cellulite, Joe Morelli's Grandma Bella, rabid bats, and any form of organized exercise.
My name is Stephanie Plum, and I work as a bond enforcement officer for Vincent Plum Bail Bonds. It's not a great job, but it allows me to avoid organized exercise, and I hardly ever encounter rabid bats. The remaining fright-o-meter items lurk in the dark shadows of my daily life. Fortunately, there are also good things in those shadows. Joe Morelli without his Grandma Bella, fellow bounty hunter Ranger without his clothes, my crazy family, my hamster, Rex . . . and Lula. Lula actually fits somewhere between the rabid bats and the good stuff. She's a former 'ho, now working as the office file clerk and apprentice bounty hunter. Lula's got a plus-size personality and body, and a petite-size wardrobe. She's got brown skin, blond hair, and last week she had tiny rhinestones pasted onto her eyelids.
It was Monday morning. Connie, the office manager, and I were in the bonds office enjoying our morning coffee, and Lula slid her red Firebird to a stop at the curb. We watched Lula through the big plate-glass window in the front of the small office, and we did a joint grimace. Lula was in a state. She lurched out of the Firebird, beeped it locked, and burst into the office, her eyes wild, rolling around in their sockets, her hands waving in the air.
"I saw it all," she said. "It was terrible. It was horrible. I couldn't believe it was happening. And right in front of me." She looked around. "What do we got? Do we got doughnuts? 'Cause I need a doughnut. I need a whole bag. And maybe I need one of them breakfast sandwiches with the egg and cheese and bacon and grease. I got a big grease craving."
I knew it would be a huge mistake to ask Lula what she'd seen, but I couldn't stop myself.
"What was terrible and horrible?" I asked.
Connie leaned forward, elbows on her desk, already knowing the telling of the story would be a car crash. Connie is a couple years older than me, and while my heritage is half Hungarian and half Italian, Connie is Italian through and through. Her hair is jet black, her lipstick is fire-engine red, her body is va-va-voom.
Lula paced in front of Connie's desk. "First off, I hardly had time for anything this morning. I had a big date last night, and by the time I booted his butt out of my bed, I already missed a lot of my beauty sleep. Anyways, I got up late, and then I couldn't decide what to wear. One day it's hot out and next thing it's cold. And then I had to decide if I needed to wear shoes that kicked ass or were good for ass kicking, on account of there's a difference, you know."
"Jeez Louise," Connie said. "Could you get to it?"
"The point bein' I was late," Lula said. "I was tryin' to put makeup on and drive, and I missed a turn, and before I knew it I was someplace I didn't want to be. So I pulled over to look around and figure things out, and when I did that my makeup case rolled off the seat next to me, and everything went all over the floor. So I was bent over to get my makeup, and I guess it looked like there was no one in the car, because when I came back up there were two big hairy morons standing right in front of my Firebird, and they were removing a head from some guy's body."
"Excuse me?"
"This one moron had a giant meat cleaver. And the other moron had a hold of this man in a suit. And whack! No head. The head popped off its neck and bounced down the street."
"And then what happened?" Connie said.
"Then they saw me," Lula said. "They looked real surprised. And I know I looked real surprised. And then I laid down about two feet of rubber and took off."
"Do you know who they were?"
"Did you know the guy in the suit?"
"No, but it was a real nice suit. And he had a nice striped tie, too."
"Did you go to the police?" Connie asked.
"No. I came straight here. It's not like the police were gonna put Humpty Dumpty back together again," Lula said. "Didn't seem like there was a big rush, and I needed a doughnut. Holy cow. Holy shit. I really need a doughnut."
"You need to call the police," Connie told Lula.
"I hate the police. They give me the willies. Except for Stephanie's Morelli. He's a hottie."
Joe Morelli is a Trenton plainclothes cop, and Lula is right about Morelli being a hottie, but Lula is wrong about Morelli belonging to me. Morelli and I have had an off-and-on relationship for as long as I can remember, and we are currently off. Two weeks ago, we had a disagreement over peanut butter that turned into a disagreement over everything under the sun, and we haven't seen each other since.
Connie dialed into the police band, and we listened for a couple minutes to see if we could pick up anything to do with decapitation.
"Where did this happen?" Connie asked.
"The three hundred block of Ramsey Street. It was right in front of the Sunshine Hotel."
The Sunshine Hotel is a roach farm that rents rooms by the hour. No one coming or going from the Sunshine Hotel would ever report anything to anyone.
"I seen lots of stuff," Lula said, "but this was disgustin'. Blood shot out like one of them oil gushers. And when the head hit the ground, I swear the eyes were lookin' at me. I guess I need to tell the police, but I only want Morelli." Lula fixed on me. "You gotta call Morelli."
"No way. I'm not talking to him. You can call him."
"I don't know him like you know him."
"I don't know him that way anymore. I'm done with him. He's a jerk."
"All men are jerks," Lula said. "That don't mean they aren't good for some things. And Morelli's a hot jerk. He could be a movie star or a underwear model if he wasn't a cop. He got all that wavy black hair and dreamy brown bedroom eyes. He's kind of puny compared to some men I know, but he's hot all the same."
Morelli was actually six foot tall and solid muscle, but Lula used to be engaged to a guy who was a cross between an Army tank and Sasquatch, so I suppose by comparison Morelli might measure up short.
"I'll call Morelli," Connie said. "He's a cop, for crying out loud. You don't need a complicated relationship to call a cop."
I was halfway to the door. "I'm leaving. Things to do. And I don't want to see Morelli."
"Oh no," Lula said. "You get your boney ass back here. We're in this together. Through thick and through thin."
"Since when?"
"Since now. And before that, too. Remember when I rescued you from that big snake in the mobile home? And what about when we were lost in the Pine Barrens?"
"You ran screaming like a little girl when you thought you saw the snake. And Ranger found us in the Pine Barrens."
"Yeah, but if he hadn't found us, I would have got us out."
"You were up to your armpits in a cranberry bog."
"I don't never want to see another cranberry, neither," Lula said.
Twenty minutes later, Morelli sauntered in to the bonds office. He was dressed in jeans and running shoes, a blue button-down shirt that was open at the neck, and a navy blazer. He looked entirely edible and a little wary.
"What's up?" Morelli asked, eyes on me.
Okay, so I was no longer interested in Morelli. At least I was pretty sure I wasn't interested. Still, I was wishing I'd spent more time on my hair and makeup this morning, so he'd feel really rotten about what he was missing. I have naturally curly shoulder-length brown hair that was currently pulled back into a ponytail. I have blue eyes that look a lot better when they have a swipe of liner and mascara, an okay mouth that so far hasn't needed artificial plumping, and a little nose that I consider my best feature. Morelli always thought my best feature was located considerably lower on my body.
"It was horrible! It was terrible!" Lula said. "I almost fainted."
Morelli shifted his attention to Lula. He didn't say anything, but he looked over at her and raised his eyebrows a little.
"I never saw nothin' like it," Lula told him. "One minute, I was having a day like any other, and then whack and this guy didn't have no head. And blood came out of him like he was a fountain. And when his head hit the ground, his eyes were lookin' at me. And I think the head might have smiled at me, too, but I'm not sure of that."
Morelli was back on his heels, thumbs hooked into his jeans pockets. "Is this for real?"
"Hell yeah," Lula said. "Who makes up shit like that? Don't I look traumatized? I'm practically turned white. I think my hand might even be shaking. Look at my hand. Is it shaking?"
Morelli's eyes cut back to me. "Were you with her?"
"Did anyone call 911?"
Lula was hands on hips, starting to look pissed. "We called you," she said to Morelli.
Morelli did a fast office scan. "You don't have the head here, do you?"
"So far as I know, the head and everything else is still in front of the Sunshine Hotel," Lula told him. "And I'm not sure I like your attitude. I'm not sure you're takin' this seriously."
Morelli stared down at his shoe. Hard to tell if he was trying hard not to laugh or if he was getting a migraine. After a five-count, he took out his cell phone, called dispatch, and sent a uniform to the Sunshine Hotel.
"Okay, ladies," Morelli said when he got off the phone. "Let's take a field trip."
I made a big show of looking at my watch. "Gee, I've got to run. Things to do."
"No way," Lula said. "I need someone with me in case I get faint or something."
"You'll have him," I said.
"He's a fine man, but he's the cop representative here, and I need someone from my posse, you see what I'm saying. I need a BFF."
"It's not gonna be me," Connie said. "Vinnie is picking up a skip in Atlanta, and I have to run the office."
Morelli looked at me and gave his head a small shake, like he didn't believe any of this. Like I was a huge, unfathomable pain in the ass, and in fact maybe that was how he felt about women in general right now.
I understood Morelli's point of view because it was precisely my current feeling about men.
"Terrific," I said on a sigh. "Let's get on with it."
Lula and I followed Morelli in my ten-year-old Ford Escort that used to be blue. We didn't take the Escort because we liked riding in it. We took it because Lula thought she might be too overwrought to drive her Firebird, and she suspected she would need a bacon cheeseburger after visiting the scene of the crime and Morelli might not be inclined to find a drive-through for her.
THERE WERE ALREADY two cruisers angled into the curb in front of the Sunshine Hotel when Lula and I arrived. I parked, and Lula and I got out and stood next to Morelli and a couple uniforms. We all looked down at a red splotch that sprayed out over about a four-foot diameter. A couple smaller splotches trailed off the big splotch, and I assumed that was where the head had hit the pavement. I felt a wave of nausea slide through my stomach, and I started to sweat.
"This here's the spot," Lula said. "You can see it's just like I told you. There was a big gusher of blood when they whacked the head off. It was like Old Faithful going off, only it was blood. And then the head rolled down the sidewalk. It was like the head was a bowlin' ball with eyes. And the eyes were like big googly eyes kinda popping out of the head and lookin' at me. And I think I might have heard the head laughin', or maybe it was the guys who did the whackin' who were laughin'."
The uniforms all did a grimace, Morelli was impassive, and I threw up. Everyone jumped away from me, I gagged one last time and did some deep breathing.
"Sorry," I said.
"No problem," Morelli told me. "I feel like throwing up a lot on this job."
One of the uniforms brought me some paper towels and a bottle of water, and Lula stood a good distance away.
"You got lots of room for lunch now that you're empty," she yelled to me. "I could get a early start with one of them extra-crispy bird burgers they're servin' at Cluck-in-a-Bucket. Have you heard about them? They got some new secret sauce."

im starting a grow in a few days.. and one of the plants is going to be a "test plant" ill try it if you want?
I just found out that flower growers make some flowers go blue by adding baking powder to their soil for its aluminum sulfate content.
Apparently soil that has been treated with this helps to lower ph levels in garden soil and can sometimes cause flowers that are pink or white to turn blue.
Has anyone else ever done this or heard of it?
im starting a grow in a few days.. and one of the plants is going to be a "test plant" ill try it if you want?
250W HPS, fox farms nutes, ocean forest soil
my journal started 11-24-08 officially.
thats why its a test... lol. good luck.
250W HPS, fox farms nutes, ocean forest soil
my journal started 11-24-08 officially.
i know if you grow a potato in water with blue food colouring the sprouts and leaves will have a light blue colour i dont know if this would work with a hydroponics system, interesting experiment subject though
No thats not what this is about.
Using food coloring is not acceptable to me anyway.
This is a soil additive that helps to turn the plant blue naturally.
No rip of stuff.
Some marijuana have pheno's that are naturally purple or blue. Other times you can cause coloring by exposing to night cool temperatures.
I hope this helps
I already have blue weed.
This technique does nothing to alter the weed in any way and does not dye it a different colour or make it blue due to it being to cold.
The aluminum sulfate content of the soil allows the plant to take up this element through its roots and sometimes helps to change a white or pink flower into a blue one.
Here is some guy talking about turning hydrangeas blue.
I dont even know if it will work on weed.
I will try it using the aluminum content of baking powder on a weed that i know is blue already and see if it goes bluer and on a weed that i know is not blue and see what it does.
Im going to add 1 teaspoon of baking powder a week to these 2 plants water and see what happens.
To obtain a blue hydrangea, aluminum must be present in the soil. To ensure that aluminum is present, aluminum sulfate may be added to the soil around the hydrangeas.
Authorities recommend that a solution of 1/2 oz (1 Tbsp) aluminum sulfate per gallon of water be applied to plants (which are at least 2-3 years old) throughout the growing season. Important: Water plants well in advance of application and put solution on cautiously, as too much can burn the roots.
To make the aluminum available to the plant, the pH of the soil should be low (5.2-5.5). Adding aluminum sulfate will tend to lower the pH of the soil. Another method for lowering the pH is to add organic matter to the soil such as coffee grounds, fruit and vegetable peels, grass clippings etc.
If the soil naturally contains aluminum and is acid (low pH) the color of the hydrangea will automatically tend toward shades of blue and/or purple.
The choice of fertilzer will also affect the color change. A fertilizer low in phosphorus and high in potassium is helpful in producing a good blue color(25/5/30 is good. Potassium is the last number). Superphosphates and bone meal should be avoided when trying to produce blue.
After stating this with much certainty, I hasten to add that it is virtually impossible to turn a hydrangea blue for any length of time if it is planted in soil with no aluminum and that is highly alkaline (chalky). One would have to be very diligent in keeping the soil properly conditioned as stated above.
Perhaps the best idea for growing blue hydrangeas in an area with alkaline soil would be to grow them in very large pots using lots of compost to bring the pH down. The above suggestions for bluing would also work for a potted plant. Reduce the strength of the Aluminum sulfate to 1/4 oz per gallon of water. In a pot, it will be much easier to control the requirements for bluing.
One last suggestions for those who are serious about this process. It is important to have your water tested so that it will not "contaminate" the soil that you have so rigorously balanced. The pH of the water should not be higher than 5.6.
Planting hydrangeas near a concrete foundation or sidewalk will often affect the color since the pH of the soil may be raised considerably by lime leaching out of these structures, making it difficult to obtain blue.
i would like to learn about growin potent pot ?
does anyone want to give me advice?
it would be an honor.
i have grown before using bubbleponics.
my weed turned out looking good but it did not get me very high at all.
actually it barely got me buzzed off of one whole blunt
i was growing in my closet using stealth hydro bubbleponics
iwant to grow indoors though

Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly has named Nick Foles the starting quarterback for the team's Week 9 matchup against the Oakland Raiders, according to Mike Garofolo of FOX Sports. Foles has been fully cleared to play after sustaining a concussion in Week 7.
Foles was replacing an injured Michael Vick in that game, but had to be replaced by rookie Matt Barkley. Foles was playing poorly before that, completing just 11 of 29 passes for 80 yards with no touchdowns. Barkley did not fare any better, completing 11 of 20 passes for 129 yards with three interceptions.
Vick returned in Week 8, but again was injured, so Barkley had to play due to Foles' concussion. Barkley performed slightly better, completing 17 of 26 passes for 158 yards and one interception. It sounds like Foles will practice all week and take the first-team reps en route to his starting role on Sunday.
Fantasy Impact: Foles was ineffective in Week 7, but he was good before that. In his first four appearances this season, he managed six touchdowns with no interceptions. He should be able to bounce back and is actually a solid option against the Oakland Raiders this week. That's not just as a bye week option either. A big game could go far for Foles and his chances of keeping hold of the starting gig.
