Bradford City defender Rory McArdle's own reason to remember the 56
8:00am Friday 22nd February 2013 in Sport By Simon Parker , Bradford City Reporter
Rory McArdle has a personal reason for making sure the Valley Parade fire victims are remembered at Wembley.
City's tracksuit tops will bear the logo '56 – always with us' in respect for those who died in May 1985.
Defender McArdle, still hoping to prove his fitness in time for Sunday, knows from first hand the pain involved from that fateful day.
He said: "My girlfriend's dad has a friend who was a policeman in Bradford.
"He was working that day when it happened and was pulling people out of the fire. If it wasn't for people like him, there might have been more than 56 who lost their lives.
"I hope he is watching the game as people like that deserve this day.
"Getting to Wembley is not just about the players who are at the club now. What happened here with the fire is well documented and we are all aware of that.
"It is great that we will be wearing jackets as we go out with '56' written on them. That, to me, is a great touch."
McArdle admits he has been staggered by the level of build-up to City's stunning appearance in the final – but is heading for London with genuine belief.
"This is beyond football. It has put Bradford on the map.
"Everywhere I go, the first thing people say to me is 'I can't believe you're in the Capital One Cup final'. It's usually with a swearword or two thrown in!
"All the pressure is on Swansea. We saw that last weekend with the team they put out at Liverpool.
"They rested more or less the full-strength team so that shows what is at stake for them. Let's hope we can cause another upset."

Getting groceries can be a drag when checkout takes an eternity, but one major grocery store chain is using technology to cut down on long lines.
Kroger is using heat sensors to detect when the store gets busy. It started out in just a few stores and now all Kroger stores are using the sensors full-time.
The small white device is on the ceiling above the entrance to Kroger. They are also installed at the front of each checkout line.
"It checks and sees how many registers we have open, it sees how many registers we need open and how many registers we should open in 30 minutes based on the amount of customers in the store," said Don Surratt, a Kroger store manager.
The sensors take customer shopping patterns into account when calculating how many registers need to be open. For example, a Saturday afternoon shopper will most likely spend a longer amount of time in the store compared to the 5:30 Friday evening shopper.
A screen at the front of the store lets employees know when to open up or close down an additional lane.
The heat sensors detect shoppers the second they walk in the door, but the impact isn't felt until the shopper hits the checkout line.
Surratt says the heat sensors have dramatically cut down checkout wait times. Before the sensors, the store's regional average wait time was four minutes; now it's only 27 seconds.
Surratt says it was customer surveys that revealed shoppers wanted faster checkout services.
"Our customers are telling us they want speedier checkout and we tried to be able to offer that to them," Surratt said.
The heat sensors do not photograph or identify shoppers and they are only placed at checkout lines and store entrances - not throughout the entire store.

Welcome to the new and official Jagged Alliance: Flashback site!
On the site you'll be be able to find various news about the game, discuss certain aspects of the game in the forums and see video clips like dev diaries or timelapse showcases once we get further into development.
Dear Backers,
We are back from vacation and hard at work in this surprisingly hot Danish Summer. Since we are not used to that here in Denmark, the office turned into a real sweatshop - air conditioned offices are not the norm here (insulation is).
Despite the heat we have managed to make good progress with the game and are implementing the next features on the rollout plan.
We recently put out a small hot fix update for JAF, to get rid of some of the worst bugs that were reported following the big update.
We have collected the feedback we got from backers on both Steam, feedback mails directly from the game and the JAF forum and summed it up to give a better overview. Not all of the feedback and suggestions are there, but that doesn't mean that it is not noted down :)
See the list here: Bugs, Suggestions, Feedback Overview Round 2
Our next immediate goal is to get a build ready for Gamescom, which we can use to show off the game to journalists. The build will include some of the features for the next big update, which is planned for the end of August, so the journalists can get a quick preview of what's to come.
As you all know we decided to prolong the modding competition to get more entries and to give the level designers a bit more time to work on their levels.
Item design competition
We got a fair amount of entries for this competition unfortunately not all of them could qualify as they were more or less a text with a photo attached, which means we would need to spend a lot of time working on the image to make it fit. Like our other competitions there is a chance that other entries than the winners make it into to game.
The winners for this competition was decided by the team
Dinosaur Plush:A certain dinosaur not anyway related to the annoying, pathetic, furry and purple dinosaur which is, by some, thought to be hung, shot and run over. This green dinosaur should be loved instead.
Ivan Bear: A cuddly bear, dressed up in what appears to be a Soviet uniform. Counter-propaganda at its best...
Espace Wreck Board Game: Set in the isolated trunk of an ancient french car lost in the graveyard, players lead a small army of armored Termitetinators in a ferocious fight against hordes of ants, gin stealers!
We picked the Dinosaur Plush for its subtle reference to JA2 and the questionnaire you get to answer when creating your IMP.
"A certain, annoying, pathetic, furry, purple dinosaur should be:
We probably have to do a few tweaks to the images and their description to make them fit, but overall they should stay close to what has been submitted.
A special thanks to Grim for submitting a lot of items in good quality, let's see if more than one of them make it into the game.
Here is a quick view of some of the other items we received :)
Krasnodar design competition
The design of Krasnodar was a major task that only 3 backers took on. Grim, Shanga and Claudius. Both Grim and Shaga have been busy with their levels the last two weeks, but to keep the competition fair, we decided to only count the entries up until July 14th. However, with the current improvements on Shanga's and Grim's maps we have decided we are going to implement both of them in the actual game and tweak them to fit accordingly :)
The level designers decided the winner for this competition.
Grim's Sector:
You can see a lot more screenshots and download the sector to try out yourself on Steam Workshop
Shanga's Sector:
You can see a lot more screenshots and download the sector to try out yourself on Steam Workshop
Claudius's Sector:
Claudius did not add his level to Steam Workshop
Congratulations to all winners and a big thanks to all who participated in the competition.
We will contact the winners for their address information after sending out this update.
Lastly, a big thanks to Logitech for sponsoring the physical prizes.
We have now been in Beta for a few months and are happy with the all the feedback and responses we have been getting for the game. Therefore, we have decided to start opening up the game to other kickstarter backers in tiers $25-$65 over a specific time period. We will start by giving access to backers in $50-$65 tier, then $35-$42 tiers and lastly $25 tier.
For the Headstart we plan to add a release candidate to the Early Access branch one week before the official release date, which means that everyone who has access to Steam Early Access will get a Headstart.
The plan is to send out keys to backers in tiers $50-65 in week 33, whereas $35-42 backers will get codes in week 37. We also wanted to give something to backers in the $25 tier and therefore we will give them the access to Steam Early Access once we have uploaded the final release candidate.
We are happy that we are able to take this approach and we are looking forward to your feedback on the game.
Thanks for your support!
We have started running through the surveys for info on the T-shirts and which model people want. Unfortunately it seems the survey was not so easy to understand, which is mainly due to the fact that Kickstarter only lets you send one survey and probably also bad communication on our side.
A lot of people answered no to the question regarding the Extra T-shirt, but we also asked for the T-shirt size and choice of model for the T-shirt that came with the Tier in the same question. ($100Tier and up, except for all digital tiers)
We will start contacting the people who did not pick a size and model on Monday to see if they actually do want a t-shirt or if they want us to keep the funds to develop the game instead ;)
The people who did not pick a model at all will get one with the JAF Logo.
Concepts for T-shirts:
Normal model is in update 3 (New Logo on it)
Hamster model is in update 7
The Deadline for replying is Monday the 18th of August 2014
We will be attending Gamescom this year, but we will only be hanging out in the business area at the Nordic Booth. We may briefly venture out into the treacherous consumer area for a quick breather between interviews, we currently have 21 interviews scheduled for JAF in a two day period, so it is going to be busy. If you see us, feel free to say hi, we won't be hard to spot as we are wearing black polo shirts with a BIG Full Control logo on the front and several game logos on the back.
Until Next Time!
The Full Control JAF Team
It's been an exciting experience releasing the game on Steam Early Access (Beta) and we're happy with all the feedback, suggestions and bug reports people have taken the time to fill in. We're going through ALL of them and are making a summary on the forums after bigger updates to give users a better overview of how the game is progressing, what's missing and what bugs there are currently crawling around on the island of San Hermanos.
Starting today, and with the support of Logitech, we are proud to announce two competitions to participate in and win awesome Logitech hardware, together with the chance to become immortalized in the game!
As a cornerstone of our development strategy and promise to our Kickstarter backers, we are continuing to create Jagged Alliance: Flashback with the help and support of our great community!
There are two ways to win great prizes: a level design and item design competition. For the level design competition, build and submit your own version of the military base "Krasnodar-82" with the level editor available.
In order to enter the item design competition, you simply need to create an icon, write a few lines of text and come up with a funny and/or useless item for your Mercs to discover and carry along. More detailed information on each competition can be found below.
The winners in both competitions will get credited in the game, and their creations are going to be part of the final game.
The level design competition is targeted at modders and level designers that own the game, whereas the item design competition is accessible to anyone. Both competitions start today, and will end in two weeks, on the 03.07.2014 at 12:00 CET. Details on each competition can be found below!
If you wish to participate in the JAF & Logitech modding competition, make sure you have carefully read the official competition rules:
Item Design Competition
What does a coconut, Da Honko cereals and a platinum watch have in common? These are all fluff items that can be discovered and picked-up by players in Jagged Alliance games. These items are an important part of the series, as they add a lot to the unique atmosphere of the games – the same in Jagged Alliance: Flashback!
Now you can become part of the game with your Item Icon, item name & description, all while winning great gaming hardware from Logitech. Simply send your name and item description to firstname.lastname@example.com The length of the description should not exceed 200 characters (incl. spaces).
Example Items:
Name: Platinum Watch
Description: "Tell time in style with this designer watch featuring a quartz crystal, swiss movement and 4 microns of beautiful platinum plating."
Name: Coconut
Description: "Unbreakable....without the right tools. Native to San Hermanos"
Example Icons:
Only added a link to the full sized cereal box
Source files are made in 512x512 and then scaled down inside Unity. You don't need to worry about details or some brush-strokes being off as long as the icon looks cool at half-size(256x256).
When we make these we have to be very quick, so we use photos for reference and sometimes even as a base for the actual icon. You can either snap photos yourself or grab from Internet(ex. Google). However, it's very important that the photos you find are free for commercial use! Also don't use existing brand names.
Use the existing icons as a reference for the art style.
Level Design Competition
Design a level/sector and have the chance to become a level designer on Jagged Alliance: Flashback! The winning sector will be part of the final game.There are a few rules that one must follow in order to compete:
Getting Started:
We have spent some time creating a Modding Guide, which is live on the Steam Community Hub.
To support this competition we've also created several modding videos to make it easier for users to get started. They have also been added to the guide.
Back Story
Krasnodar -82. This base was established during the cold war era by the Soviets under permission from Salvador Primo, aka The Prince, the communist leader of San Hermanos. The base was abandoned by the Soviets after the cold war but is now used by The Prince as an important strategic point, dealing with the ongoing uprising against the regime. This base holds ammunition, weapons and transports for the military, along with living quarters for the soldiers.
Level design guidelines
Due to its location on the strategic map there are 3 ways to attack this base. The following guidelines will give extra points if followed:
To know what way North is press the Green Y axis in the top right corner in your scene. Then you will see your sector from top where north is Up.
We cen't rotate the level afterwards, so it's important tha you make the sector facing the right way.
Prizes from Logitech:
Item Competition:
First place: 1 Wireless Headset + Get your item in the game
Second place: 1 Gaming Mouse + Get your item in the game
Third place: Get your item in the game
Level Design Competition:
First place: 1 Wireless Headset + 1 Gaming Mouse + Sector in the game
Second place: 1 Wireless Headset
Third place:1 Gaming Mouse
Until next time!
The Full Control JAF Team
Dear Backers,
We are now halfway through the alpha phase and we have already learned a lot from all the feedback we have been getting through the game as well as on the forums. We recently updated the alpha and are now moving into phase two where we are introducing the editor, so the modders and alpha backers will have a chance to play around with the game a bit before the Early Access version is live.
If you have missed the info from the recent alpha update, you can find the info HERE
To make it easier for users to use the editor in this early state we have decided to create a video guide to get people started.
Jagged Alliance: Flashback Editor How-to
The editor will continue to be developed throughout the Early Access Phase and we plan to integrate it into Steam Workshop. We plan on hosting some competitions where users get a chance to use the editor to make something for the game, but more on that later.
We also created a written how-to guide for the editor, which will be added to the JAF forum after making this update live
To get the editor simply use THIS NEW LINK. Please note that you can only use the levels you create if you have a version of the game, which means the alpha backers at this point.
As you all know Jagged Alliance: Flashback will be going on Steam Early Access in mid/late May, but so far we haven't shared a whole lot of details of what is to come.
For the Early Access version we want to create a cool experience for the users and give them a taste of what the game has to offer. We are trying to get as many of the core elements in the Early Access version as possible as well as show off some well polished environments and interesting sectors.
We will be continuing to develop the game throughout the Early Access Phase and we plan on making 2-3 major updates that will add additional features and content to the game, besides steadily increasing the gameworld and content.
We hope a lot people will be using the editor from Early Access launch and we are really looking forward to what people will do with it. Modding is the reason why the franchise still has a huge following and maybe also the reason why there's still a genuine interest for this game.
It has not been easy to keep track of 7,500 backers, especially with paypal, late tier upgrades and people forgetting to change to the right tier after changing the amount. As we are going onto Steam Early Access, we will be closing down the shop on our website, which means that if you want to grab a boxed copy or the collectors edition this is the time to do so.
We are also doing this because we need to finalize the Kickstarter and PayPal lists so that Humble Bundle can upgrade people from the current tier 5 to their appropriate tier. We're getting closer, but there's still a some data that we need to get.
We wanted to end this update with a good laugh, so we are delighted to be share the news that there will be chickens in the game, which have apparently mutated and eaten half the population on the island :)
Until Next Time!

The state of Mississippi is home to two of the SEC's top three returning quarterbacks.
Welcome to Raycom News Network's live blog from SEC Media Days in Hoover, AL.
(WMC-TV) - The Ole Miss Rebels are coming to grips with another injury as they approach their game against the Idaho Vandals Saturday.
Tight end Evan Engram is scheduled to have season-ending surgery on his left ankle.
Engram caught two passes for 28 yards in Ole Miss' 27-24 upset victory over LSU.
Ole Miss Head Coach Hugh Freeze continues dealing with injuries to front line players, and continues to find quality replacements, like former Ridgeway High School star Jaylen Walton.
The sophomore runningback had his first 100 yard game, and scored two touchdowns in the win over the Bayou Bengals.
Next up for Ole Miss are the Idaho Vandals on Saturday at Vaught Hemingway Stadium in Oxford. Kickoff is at 6:30 p.m.

Fauna in the World of AvatarTalk0
this wiki
|Fauna in the World of Avatar
|General information
There are several distinct habitats in the Avatar World, suitable for different animals and plants.
Foggy Swamp
Due to the wet climate and abundant vegetation, the Foggy Swamp plays host to a large variety of fauna. Hundreds of living things are densely packed into the swamp; this includes glowflies, elbow leeches, screeching birds, and catgators.[1]
Great Divide
The Great Divide has various species due to an arid climate. This unique area is home to certain creatures, such as the canyon crawlers.[2]
The low temperatures in both the Northern and Southern Water Tribes do not allow for much fauna to thrive. However, there are some animals that have adapted to the cold environment, such as otter penguins, tiger seals, polar dogs, polar bear dogs, and buffalo yaks.
Si Wong Desert
The Si Wong Desert has the driest, hottest climate in the world. The desert's ecosystem primarily consists of a few scavenger species such as the gilacorn, predatory insects known as buzzard wasps, giant rhinoceros beetles, which are used for transportation, scorpions, and jackalopes.[3]

CRICKET: Herts clubs back breakaway move
10:00am Tuesday 6th November 2012 in Sport By Mike Knox, Deputy Sports Editor. Call me on 01865 425457
A threatened breakaway from the Home Counties Premier League (HCPL) has moved a step closer with Hertfordshire clubs backing a proposal to set up on their own.
In a poll of 24 clubs in HCPL Divisions 1 and 2 East, and Hertfordshire League Division 1, there was a split of 15-5 in favour of a move to quit the Premier League set-up, with four clubs not replying.
If the breakaway goes ahead, it is likely to occur before the 2013 season.
A final decision is expected to be made at a Hertfordshire League meeting next week.
The HCPL are set to discuss the implications of a breakaway tonight.
The ramifications would be huge for Oxfordshire clubs.
Oxford, Thame Town and Shipton-under Wychwood, all of whom were relegated from their HCPL divisons last season, would be reinstated.
Meanwhile, Aston Rowant would be promoted to Division 1, and Horspath, runners-up in the Cherwell League, would be promoted to Divison 2 West.
This would lead to a raft of promotions in the Cherwell, which feeds into the HCPL.
At least two of the four Hertfordshire clubs in HCPL Division 1 are believed to be against a breakaway.
"This is something we must resolve," said Hertfordshire League chairman Tony Johnstone.
"There is a strong body of opinion that games in the Home Counties are much too long and two expensive, what with the travelling and the cost of providing lunches."
HCPL chairman Ray Wood was unavailable to comment.

Now hear this says...
Why should relegated clubs get a reprieve shouldn't the ones who finished nearer the top in nthe division below, get a chance and those that went down stay down?
Are these decisions minuted anywhere?

Just when school board members thought it couldn't get any worse the Georgia Department of Education has delivered more unsettling news. The Dougherty County school system has been put on High Risk Status.
"I think it's sad. But I'm not totally surprised. It's going to make operating the system very difficult," said Carol Tharin, School Board Member.
"I'm very disappointed, but I'm not surprised. Because our problems have been almost insurmountable," said Darrel Ealum, School Board Member.
In a letter to Superintendent Joshua Murfree, state officials gave their reasoning, saying the move was based on the district's unsatisfactory performance, management standards that don't meet requirements, slow response to the state's previous concerns and questionable spending of title one funds.
"We were just concerned of the overall management and implementation of the federal program and felt they needed to have some additional assistance and technical assistance and be required to do some additional restrictions as far as how they implement their programs," said Margo DeLaune, Title Programs Director for the Georgia Department of Education.
Now the school system has to hire someone, the state approves to come in and assist with implementing federal funds.
"There were so different federal programs were having so many different issues all surrounding fiscal requirements that it was a concern for us as a state," said DeLaune.
The state can keep them on high risk status until they see some improvement, up to five years if necessary.
"Every time we have to stop and deal with a problem like this, it takes time away from educating students and I think that's a very sad scenario," said Tharin.
The superintendent was given 20 days to respond to the letter and request reconsideration of the high risk status as well as provide explanations for the questionable conduct.
"The state has no longer given us any option. We've got to do something. We've got to act," said Tharin.
Some of the board members say now they have no choice and their backs are against the wall.
The superintendent also received a letter on Monday, in which the state is demanding more information about the use of Title I, Part A funds. And that extra information has to be sent in by November 30th.
School board member Darrel Ealum says he plans to present some recommendations to address these issues at an upcoming board meeting.

Councillors approve proposal for flats on Portland
1:30pm Friday 16th November 2012 in News
COUNCILLORS have approved a proposal to convert a large property on Portland into six flats.
Members of Weymouth and Portland Borough Council's planning and traffic committee approved the application.
A number of neighbouring residents objected about the plans to convert the large chalet bungalow in Montrose Close into six self-contained flats.
There were fears that it will cause disruption and sound pollution in the quiet cul-de-sac, which is home to many elderly people.
Grant Purnell, owner and applicant, spoke at the meeting and said the flats will be more in keeping with the size of properties in the area.
He said: "The house has been for sale for over a year and there have been no viewings. It's too large for the location and I think the units will be more attractive to a first time buyer."
Councillor Ray Banham said the property lends itself to the conversion.
He said: "It's a very large property and it's a shame that it can't be sold as a single occupancy. There would be hardly any external alterations and there is ample parking on site."

Torah Tidbits
Portion of the Portion
Desecrating and Sanctifying God's Name
In Vayikra 22:32, G-d warns us against profaning His holy name in any way and encourages us to sanctify His name. Sefer HaMitzvot list these as two separate mitzvot - one a negative commandment not to do anything to give G-d or His Torah a bad name, so to speak, and the second, a positive commandment of Kiddush HaShem, to enhance the reputation of G-d and His Torah.
When thinking of the concept of Kiddush Hashem, people usually think of the act of giving up one's life in order not to transgress one of the three big sins - murder, idolatry, and adultery. What we are willing to die for teaches us what to live for. It gives more value to our lives - since we live with values that are more significant than any single individual life. This is doing a Kiddush Hashem through death.
But how does one do a Kiddush Hashem and prevent Chilul Hashem throughout his life, while he is alive, without having to give up his life?
The Gemara in Yoma (86a) lists some things that are considered a Chilul Hashem. Rambam elaborates on this in Hilchot Yesodei HaTorah (5:11). He says if a Torah scholar does things which cause people to talk against him, even if the acts are not transgressions, he is profaning G-d's name. Examples of this are if a religious person buys something and doesn't pay promptly (though he is able to pay), or if he doesn't speak pleasantly to others and does not receive them with a pleasant facial expression, but is instead quarrel- some and easy to anger. The greater the person, the more careful they must be with their behavior.
"If a Torah scholar will be careful about his behavior, will speak pleasantly to people, act friendly toward them, receive them with a pleasant facial expression, will refrain from retorting when he is insulted, will honor even those who treat him in disdain, will be honest in his business dealings, will constantly devote himself to Torah study, will always go beyond the letter of the law, and will avoid extremes and exaggerations, then he will be praised and beloved and others will desire to emulate him. This man has sanctified G-d"
So another way of fulfilling the mitzva of Kiddush Hashem - to sanctify Hashem's Name - is by performing commandments (mostly in the area of human interpersonal relationships) in a way which will cause others to wish to emulate our deeds.
These are everyday acts that we all come in contact with. They are little acts that require a big moral code of action to fulfill. For example, it is not always easy to speak nicely to people who insult you, but it is an opportunity to create a Kiddush Hashem. Everyone is constantly looking at religious Jews to find bad things to say about them, the religion, and ultimately about God. We must not give them those opportunities - rather we should act in a way that will make them bless God , Judaism and Jews.
An example of this comes into my head. This year I attended the "Reaching Higher" special program for women that was organized by Rivka Segal for the L'ayla Women learning series which meets regularly at the OU Center. The event was highlighted by inspirational talks from Rabbanit Yemima Mizrachi and HaRav Yitzchak Dovid Grossman of Migdal H'Emek. The main shul at the Great Synagogue in Jerusalem was filled women who had come to hear these great speakers. While Rav Grossman was in the middle of his talk, an elderly man barged into the hall and shouted something at the Rav in front of everyone. There were many ways that Rav Grossman could have reacted to this situation. He could have gotten angry at the man and shouted back at him for interrupting his speech. He could have yelled at the guards who had let a man enter and disrupt an all women event. He could have remained silent on the stage till someone removed the man from the room. He did none of those things. Instead, he greeted the man from the stage, calling him with warmth in his voice, ZADIK, gave him a blessing and the episode ended with the man leaving quietly and happily. That in my mind was a Kiddush Hashem.
We as Jews always have to be extra good. In this time of Sefirat HaOmer when we are trying to improve our deeds, we should look to others who have been successful in doing a Kiddush Hashem and try, each one of us in our own sphere, to follow in their footsteps.
LAG BAOMER IS HERE. One segula (merit) mentioned in connection to Lag BaOmer, is to distribute "Chai (18) Rotel" (each 'Rotel' is approx. 3 liters, so that adds up to 54 liters) of drinks to those coming to pray at the burial-site of Rabbi Shimon Bar Yochai in Meron. This is mentioned in a famous letter written by Rav Benzion Halberstam, the Bobover Rebbe, to one of his acquaintances in 1912. Whatever the segula is, if done properly, it can be a Kiddush Hashem to give tired and thirsty people a drink without asking for anything in return. Here is a recipe for an energy drink, which I'm sure anyone making the trek to Meron would enjoy drinking - but the custom of "chai rotel" can be done with any drink, including water.
1 banana, frozen & sliced
1/2 cup frozen, unsweetened strawberries
1 orange, peeled
1/2 cup low fat yogurt
1/2 cup low fat milk
2 pitted dates
Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. You can play around with the amounts of all the ingredients to get the consistency and taste that you like. Add whatever fruits you like. You can even add some flax seeds as well. Enjoy!

UPDATE: Flood alert back in place for Cumbrian coastline as area prepares for 60mph winds
Updated 3:26pm Monday 6th January 2014 in News By Anna Smith, Reporter
THE Cumbrian coastline looks set to be battered by 60mph winds prompting the Environment Agency to put a flood warning back in place.
A warning - the second most serious - is in force for the Morecambe Bay area including Roosebeck, Canal Foot, Arnside and Sandside, where tides could reach heights of 9.5m this afternoon.
"Due to a combination of high tides, strong winds and large waves, onshore flooding may occur," said a spokesman for the agency.
"Winds of up to 60mph are expected in coastal areas."
The high tide is expected at 3.59pm and the Environment Agency said conditions will apply two to four hours either side of high tide.
"The risk of flooding could continue," said John Curtin, head of incident management at the Environment Agency.
"We would again remind people to avoid coastal paths and promenades which could be dangerous."
Yesterday alerts were still in place for the Rivers Rothay, Brathay and Winster, but these have now been removed.
However at round 2pm yesterday coastal water overtopped at Sandside for the third time in as many days, causing havoc for motorists on the B5282 close to The Ship Inn.
On Friday water rushed up to houses and into the pub, and on Saturday it covered the road and left motorists stranded between pockets of deep water.
"We got to where the road had flooded slightly and pushed on and now we're facing even worse flooding," motorcyclist Nick Heaton told the Gazette at the time.
"We'll just have to wait for it to subside."
Another couple, who asked not to be named, also said they'd found themselves stuck and were waiting for water to recede.
On Friday the water also flooded areas of Arnside, Grange-over-Sands and Canal Foot at Ulverston.
However, a spokeswoman for the Bay Horse pub, at Canal Foot, told the Gazette that although it was raining and windy yesterday, no water had breached the road.
On Friday around 500 sandbags were handed out at South Lakeland District Council depots in Ulverston, Kendal, Troutbeck and from both Storth and Arnside village halls.
South Lakeland District Council later thanked residents for their 'vigilant' response to the extreme weather.
"Thanks to the warnings sent out most people were well prepared," said Nick Pearson, council street scene manager.
"Many residents living in coastal areas are used to dealing with the ever-present threat from the high tides."
To keep up to date with flood alerts people are urged to visit www.environment-agency.gov.uk, or call the agency's Floodline for advice and information on 0845 988 1188.
Anybody who manages to get pictures of flooding is asked to send them to email@example.com or tweet them to @annageorgina

Newport drive-through supermarket is Wales' first
8:50am Thursday 13th September 2012 in News By Alison Sanders
WALES' first drive through supermarket has opened in Newport.
The Spytty Road Tesco Extra store now offers a drive-through service allowing shoppers to pick up their shopping without even having to leave their cars.
The Spytty store and a Tesco Extra store in Swansea are the first of the supermarket chain's stores in Wales to offer the service.
Shoppers order their groceries online, choose the Click and Collect option and decide on a two-hour collection slot which are available seven days a week.
They can then collect their shopping any time within those two hours from the separate Click and Collect unit at the store's car park.
Shoppers pull into the drive-through collection point, show staff their reference details and staff bring out the shopping.
Spytty store manager Rob Hughes said: "We are very excited to be able to offer this new service to our customers. I speak to them every day about their shopping experience and this new drive-through will now offer even more choice in how they buy their shopping."
The service is the same as home delivery orders with a minimum £2 charge added to the bill.
The scheme was first trialled at stores in Baldock and Romford and is currently being rolled out to 120 stores across the UK.
Newport school children are now being asked to design artwork for a special shopping bag to help promote the new service.

Who needs the regeneration of the city centre when we can now go shopping without having to walk a single step? Then, with minimal physical exertion, on to a fast food emporium (drive though of course) to celebrate another cultural high point.
It's a good job Wales doesn't have one of the highest obesity rates in Europe isn't it?

56 Hanover residents receive land titles
LUCEA, Hanover — Some 56 residents within three communities of Hanover were on Saturday presented with certificate of titles by the Housing Agency of Jamaica (HAJ) for their properities.
The residents, from the communities of Eglin Town, Fisherman's Village (renamed Haughton Meadows) and Bulls Bay, received the documents during a ceremony held at the Lucea Anglican Church Hall in Hanover.
They have been occupying the lands under Operation PRIDE project since the 1990's, and had recently completed the acquisition process.
Minister without Portfolio in the Ministry of Housing, Dr Morais Guy, who delivered the keynote address at the ceremony, underscored the importance and value of a land title.
"When you use that title as collateral, what you are telling us as a people and the financial institution is that, I want to borrow money so I can fix up my house, so I can send my children to school, so I can put a taxi on the road…" he said.
"When you do that ladies and gentlemen you are not only assisting yourself in the process, but you are growing this economy of Jamaica which is in urgent need of growth right now, " Guy added.

A Madison County judge approved partial refunds to some storm shelter customers.
Tornado Masters customers will receive seven percent of their claims.
Those refunds bring the case against Tornado Masters to a close. The state attorney general sued the business back in March.
The judge permanently shut the company down after ruling the company falsely represented meeting government safety standards.
Attorney General Luther Strange said he's "Pleased with refunds that will be returned to Alabamians who were deceived and endangers by the practices of the company."
The total amount of refunds to be distributed is approximately $80,000.
Claimants can expect seven percent of their claim. Some will receive as much as $1,000. A North Alabama Daycare will get $3,019.
According to court documents, Huntsville Christian Academy paid roughly $80,000 for their shelter.
They're only to receive $5500 back.
Here's some other numbers from those same documents.
Dozens of Tornado Masters customers put in around $118,000 in claims for shelters that they never even received.
A court receiver recovered around $119,000 in Tornado Masters assets.
That doesn't even come close to the more than million dollars in claims that were submitted.
A judge signed off on the payments on December 4.

A McDonough man is behind bars in Clayton County for burglarizing the home of a 90-year-old woman.
Jonesboro investigators believe Scott Vincent burglarized the woman's home multiple times.
The victim, Claudia Turner, told CBS Atlanta News the thief stole thousands of dollars in family heirlooms.
The theft left Turner feeling violated.
"How would you feel if someone had broke into your home 15 times and went through every drawer in your house," Turner said.
In this case, Jonesboro detectives believe they've recovered about 90 percent Turner's belongings.
The recovery was made after police discovered a storage unit in Vincent's name. The unit contained items police believe are from multiple victims.
Turner plans to press charges.
"I hope he goes to jail for a long time," Turner said. "He needs to learn not to break into people's homes and steal everything."

There were more than 300 entrants from Chicago running in the Boston Marathon Monday.
Sandy Borgman from Glen Ellyn had already crossed the finish line. She was two blocks away, when suddenly, dozens of people began running for cover.
SEE: Two explosions at Boston Marathon finish line
"The people running from that area did not look like it was something you wanted to check out," Borgman explains.
Ironically, the mother of three had taken a photo with a friend at the finish line last night, just a few feet from where the first explosion took place.
"The worst part for me was waiting to hear that my friends were okay, you know? I had a friend who sent her niece out to cheer me on. I looked back and there was smoke right where she was standing."
That girl was not injured.
Christine Bell from Naperville was also in Boston. She says there was a lot of confusion at first, less than a mile away from the scene.
"We're still running and eventually when the cops started running we knew something's not right and somebody in front started stopping us.
Angi Taylor, morning host of 103.5 KISS FM watched the chaos unfold from her hotel room, located directly across the street from the scene of the blasts. She was in Boston to cheer on her friend running in the marathon, who was not injured.
"I saw facial injuries, I saw blood on faces, I saw people that couldn't walk anymore, medical units that were carrying people on sheets," Taylor says. "The scene on street was chaos…people walking, nobody knowing where to go."
Fleet Feat Sports Chicago trained 87 runners for the marathon. President Dave Zimmer says it took some time, but everyone has been accounted for.
"There was no real way for us to mobilize at that point because we were just waiting for everyone to come back, so we were literally waiting at the hotel waiting for people to come in."
Other local runners who completed the Boston Marathon just arrived back home with stories they will never forget.
"We were literally like right by the finish," runner Brad Moats of Gurnee says. "Right by the windows. The explosion had just gone off. People were running, sprinting back going the other way. There were people running, crying away. Not everyone knew this was chaos because not everyone knew what had happened."
"It was not like fireworks or anything," Andre Bennatan of Lake Forest explains. "Nothing like that."
"People were walking towards the finish saying 'what happened?'" Moats adds. "We said 'a bomb went off, go the other way' and we just ran the other way as far as we could get away and we were able, luckily, to find a cab and I think got the last flight out of Boston."
"Not just the marathon, but any event where there's high public profiling is really going to change the way we approach these things both in security and the participants." Arlington Heights Mayor-elect Tom Hayes says. "Some participants might decide not to run a marathon because of events like this, so it's unfortunate."
Bennatan thought this was going to be his first and only Boston Marathon but now says "I think we all have to run Boston. I mean, we have to support that organization and those people."
Most of the runners say this tragic incident won't stop them from running in their next marathon.

Bill Moss attacks opponent Dodger Arp over massive Moss public records request
- 1:02 pm Thursday, February 23rd, 2012 by Andrew Abramson
UPDATE: This story has been updated to reflect that Bill Moss apologized for a statement made about Dodger Arp's client, Public Concepts LLC.
"When you're working for a firm that has been fined by the courts multiple times for attacking public officials all over the state. … Part of what we do as commissioners is build relationships with other elected bodies and try to work through the issues," Moss initially said. He later apologized, attesting that his statement that Public Concepts had been fined by the courts was false.
The original story is below.
Data Targeting, a company out of Gainesville, has made a massive public records request on Commissioner Bill Moss leading up to the March 13 District 5 commission race. But Moss is making an issue of the request, saying that Data Targeting partnered on Viewpoint Florida, a polling data website, with Public Concepts. One of Moss' opponents, Dodger Arp, is an attorney for Public Concepts, a mostly Republican political consulting firm. Arp and Moss are both registered Democrats and the commission race is non-partisan.
"It concerns me that they're trying to do it more secretly rather than (Arp) requesting the public records," Moss told The Palm Beach Post on Wednesday. "He's doing it through this firm so it took us a while to figure out that it directly tied to Public Concepts."
Arp's response? Yeah, so what.
"I think the problem is that he is concerned what is in his record," Arp said. "Who asks for the records shouldn't matter. We had a professional look into it. It cost us over $1,000 to get the records. They're the professionals who know what to ask for and what to look for."
