Lara Djonggrang
Lara Djonggrang Review
An elegant treasury of Indonesiana, Lara Djonggrang celebrates the nation's culinary and cultural heritage. Authentic period decor leans toward antiques and brooding lighting in a rabbit warren of dining rooms within a historic Menteng district mansion. Lara Djonggrang's dizzyingly diverse menu also befits Tugu Group, homegrown operators of eclectic hotels and eateries, featuring tastes of the archipelago with a focus on Java. Some contend Lara Djonggrang favors style over spice; begin your deliberations with nasi rames platters, offering bites of Indonesia's many splendored tastes. Eat family-style and consider ordering extra, as main portions run small.

5-at-10: Johnny Finger, College football lookaround, Braves and chance to win tickets
Jomo —
Interesting analysis. And the possibility of unfinished buildings in the nine-figure arms race that is big-boy football is a nice touch.
FE to the C —
Man, if you could blend the other parts of Snake and Jeff George (Snake's confidence and game-time 'juevos' and George's natural ability)... Wow.
Buscher —
No doubt in the grand scheme of things the one-gun shoutout is not a "My God, he's got a STEEL chair" type of moment.
But, it's like guys that show up unprepared for the combine in that, you knew this was the big moment to make a statement, and THAT'S the statement you make.
And yes, MNF is always welcomed back, even if Jon Gruden endorsed every candidate this side of Brian Sipe in the Browns QB race.
5-at-10: Rory rolling, racing tragedy, College football galore and TV talk show hosts
Gang, great stuff.
BiB — nice analysis. We concur.
Jomo — The Sheriff can play. And Mr. Hargis has also commented on the speed of the next group of contributors.
Spy — Well said. But we're somewhat intrigued by the Johnny Football discussion. Good times.
Busch — Absolutely and pace of play is the biggest overall problem facing the sport. And yes, the Ryder Bloodbath does not look promising.
FE to the C — There were several fun names to follow on Sunday, and Bernt Weisenhimer was not one of them. Forget Haney. Tiger needs to reconnect with Butch, who is working magic on Rickie's racket right now.
5-at-10: Biggest day ever? Plus, 'school' movies Rushmore
Tenn Flyer —
Well, used D. Day line.
And we are forced to concur.
OK (although we would have had School Ties in there) let's adjust the Rushmore to films about high school. Deal? Deal. Go.
5-at-10: Braves lose again, Hard Knocks, Coaching changes, unbreakable records
Great call on Petty and Pistol. The team records of dynasties of old are untouchable too.
That said, 56 is fluky. Rose got more than 3/4 of the way there in '78. Heck, Uggla got 60 percent there three years ago.
No one will get close to 75 percent of the way to Young's 511.
Could certainly see Struggla in the books. Would be eye-popping some of the names that 'could' be in that log.
5-at-10: Dalton's deal, College football's best seasons, sports conspiracies
Stewwie —
Great post. We thought about Malone, but went with Chuck.
Concur that Sanders' year was a monster, but Cam took a team full of 8-win talent and won the whole thing. Extra points for the Natty Title in our book.
We may be overly harsh on Kaepernick, and we likely would take him over Stafford — not a fan, although Stafford's high school teammate on Clayton Kershaw made an OK name for himself too — but we take the others over him on your list.
Do you think the 49ers would trade Kaep straight up for Rivers, Ryan or Romo? We say yes.
FE to the C —
And to think about all he did for the game, Mr. Al was most right about Lane Kiffin. Who knew?
With $18 million still owed to him, here's saying Danny Struggla is not going to need donations for a while.
5-at-10: Who won the weekend, college football galore, worst leg injuries
Easy 9er. Remember the F-O-I-B standards.
Yes, horse injuries are a different standard.
And we think Kevin Ware has moved into consideration, if for no other reason than the reaction his teammates presented.
We believe the Mocs will beat Central Michigan.
BiB —
Yes some baseball ones have been nasty and Buster Posey was blocking the plate. Some of the others were bases and such. Kendall's was awful.
Excellent call on Prothro. Had forgotten that one.
5-at-10: SEC questions, Braves fall, Rushmore of double-initial stars
The USA Today's college football coaches' poll was released Thursday morning, and defending national champion Florida State was voted No. 1.
Alabama was pegged No. 2 and in-state and SEC West rival Auburn was NO. 5 in the annual voting by selected college football coaches from around the country. It is believed to be the first time Auburn and Alabama have started the same season ranked in the top five of coaches poll.
Half of the 14 teams in the SEC cracked the top 25 with South Carolina (No. 9), Georgia (12), LSU (13), Ole Miss (19) and Texas A&M (21) making the poll.
The only three SEC teams not named on any of the ballots were Vandy, Kentucky and Tennessee.
Here's the complete poll (first-place votes in parenthesis):
2) Alabama
3) Oklahoma (3)
4) Oregon (1)
5) Auburn
6) Ohio State (1)
8) Michigan State
9) South Carolina (1)
10) Baylor
11) Stanford
12) Georgia
14) Wisconsin
16) Clemson
17) Notre Dame
18) Arizona State
19) Ole Miss
20) Texas A&M
21) Kansas State
22) Nebraska
24) Texas
25) Washington
5-at-10: SEC questions, Braves fall, Rushmore of double-initial stars
Spy —
That's excellent stuff. J.R. Ewing is far left for crying out loud and it's going to be tough to keep BA (stands for Bad Attitude) Baracus from the list.
If you add J.R. Richards, the former Astros fire-balling righty from the 1970s, that's a pretty salty Rushmore of J.R.s
No doubt about the time flying. Feels like we just stopped playing baseball for crying out loud and now football is here.
5-at-10: SEC questions, Braves fall, Rushmore of double-initial stars
B.B. King is an inspired call. And O.J. too.
C-Vol —
Hadn't thought about BJ and the Bear in a while. Combine those with Convoy and Smokey and the Bandit, man we romanticized the trucking industry back in the day didn't we?
HarryT —
Famous Jameis was squirrel hunting before he was leg lifting so yet again, it's the man trying to keep a fella down, you know?
Bonus points for the E.T. reference. Dude was U-G-L-Y with no alibi. He and Artis Gilmore may be the two ugliest sports stars of all-time. Well, and Dennis Johnson, too.
Great start gang.
5-at-10: UTC questions, Braves fall, NFL news and best baseball announcers ever
BiB —
Man, that is bad.
Me fail English... Unpossible.

Reputation Management: How to Make Bad News about Your Brand Vanish Off the Face of the Internet
Posted on December 13th 2012
We live in the times of extreme transparency and unprecedented abundance of communication media. A half-finished sentence by a public figure may become known to millions in a matter of minutes due to the multiple social platforms that help spread the news nowadays.
So, when it comes to managing your personal or corporate online reputation, there are just too many bases that need to be covered. And what if a nasty review or a disgruntled ex-employee's rant leeks onto the Web and hurts your company's public image?
Of course, it's much wiser to take preventive measures rather than deal with the consequences of an online PR catastrophe. However, if it does happen after all, here are some tips to help you successfully make up for the damage caused.
Go from negative to positive
Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempest. - Epicurus
Experienced marketers know that with each complaint or a negative review arises an opportunity for asserting your company's good name. All you have to do is to know how to steer discussion in the right direction.
If it's a legit complaint and your company is really at fault, acknowledge the problem, talk about how you're planning to deal with it (only if it is really possible to solve!) and counter-balance the negative feedback with some facts about your company that make it look really good.
Some of the biggest no-no's here:
- lying or denying the obvious (cover-up lies usually have an adverse effect);
- being overly apologetic;
- coming up with unsatisfactory excuses that make it look like you are hiding something;
- making the promises you are not planning to fulfill.
A needle in a haystack: bury bad content
They say it all started out with a big bang. But, what I wonder is, was it a big bang or did it just seem big because there wasn't anything else to drown it out at the time? - Karl Pilkington
Sometimes, you might have to deal with the consequences of a brand's reputation management gone wrong. For instance, when there was another manager dealing with it before you got called in. So, if there are any old negative reviews online that you cannot successfully respond to or remove (obviously), the only option you have is to bury that bad content under piles of good content.
See what keywords the negative feedback ranks for and rank your content for the same keywords. For instance, if someone wrote a review about your business titled "Company XYZ is scam", ask a loyal customer to write a review titled "Company XYZ: scam or not scam?" and make it rank for respective keywords.
It is also recommended to buy such domains as "CompanyXYZScam" in advance in order to rob potential ill-wishers and unethical competitors of their chance to hurt your business through deliberate defamation.
Can you beat Google Autocomplete?
A reputation once broken may possibly be repaired, but the world will always keep their eyes on the spot where the crack was. – Joseph Hall
Many companies have suffered because of Google Autocomplete. In his article at Search Engine Land, Brian Patterson writes that typing "McDonalds" into the search box still triggers "coffee lawsuit" as a suggestion (almost 18 years after the accident!).
So, is there a way to say good-bye to Google's algorithmic prompting that could be hurting your business?
According to Google, autocomplete is "based on other users' search activities and the contents of web pages indexed by Google." The company goes on to say that "the autocomplete data is updated frequently to offer fresh and rising search queries."
So, apparently, for a keyword to get suggested it has to have a decent number of searches or there has to be a spike in search activity for that term. Besides, there has to be a fair number of results pages for it on Google.
At the same time, the already mentioned article by Brian Patterson describes another approach to dealing with unwanted autocomplete suggestions. The study by Go Fish Digital revealed that there were typical "values" Google would often use to suggest search terms for businesses, for instance: careers, wiki, review and others.
So, a plan for ousting undesired keywords from Google Autocomplete could involve creating certain types of pages for your biz (for example, a Wikipedia page or a page about available careers) and boosting the searches for particular search terms (which can be achieved in different ways).
Establishing authority
That incident ruined my reputation for 10 years. Get one Beatle drunk and look what happens! - Harry Nilsson
Sometimes people may not trust your word just because you're not much of an authority for them. To establish yourself as one, you can resort to different means of creating a positive online image for your brand:
- make your site rank well in the search results for your brand name;
- make your company news show up on Google/Yahoo news (by regularly sending press releases to respective websites);

Promoting positive sentiment about your brand
Build your reputation by helping other people build theirs.
Anthony J. D'Angelo
I'm sure you're not new to the "I scratch your back, you scratch mine" concept. Quite often, people say good things about your company online. When they do, return the favor by retweeting their tweet, reposting their Facebook post or promoting their fan video on YouTube.
However, the trick is to actually find those positive comments among everything that's being posted on the World Wide Web every day, when only Twitter accounts for 250 million new posts daily. So, how does one do it?
Not long ago, we put together an Online Reputation Management Guide that talks about how you can easily keep track of positive (as well as neutral and negative) feedback about your brand or product in the social media on a daily basis. Do check it out.
Bottom line
Creating good reputation for your brand or company lies not only in projecting a good image for it online, but also in dealing with critical situations when a negative review or a bad comment involving your brand appears on the Web.
When that happens, there are different ways you can tackle the issue, from turning negative feedback into positive, making it vanish among lots of new good comments and reviews that appear, establishing yourself as an authority in your niche, and others.

If a customer ever posts negative feedback on your social media pages do not ignore or delete it. Be sure to respond to the customer publicly; customers like to know that they are being heard and responding publicly shows your other followers that you want to help.

Oxyurea - General Information:
An antineoplastic agent that inhibits DNA synthesis through the inhibition of ribonucleoside diphosphate reductase. [PubChem]
Oxyurea has dose-dependent synergistic activity with cisplatin in vitro. In vivo Oxyurea showed activity in combination with cisplatin against the LX-1 and CALU-6 human lung xenografts, but minimal activity was seen with the NCI-H460 or NCI-H520 xenografts. Oxyurea was synergistic with cisplatin in the Lewis lung murine xenograft. Sequential exposure to Oxyurea 4 hours before cisplatin produced the greatest interaction.
Oxyurea for patients
HYDREA is a medication that must be handled with care. People who are not taking HYDREA should not be exposed to it. If the powder from the capsule is spilled, it should be wiped up immediately with a damp disposable towel and discarded in a closed container, such as a plastic bag. The medication should be kept away from children and pets.
Oxyurea Interactions
Prospective studies on the potential for hydroxyurea to interact with other drugs have not been performed.
Concurrent use of hydroxyurea and other myelosuppressive agents or radiation therapy may increase the likelihood of bone marrow depression or other adverse events.
Since hydroxyurea may raise the serum uric acid level, dosage adjustment of uricosuric medication may be necessary.
Oxyurea Contraindications
Hydroxyurea is contraindicated in patients with marked bone marrow depression, i.e., leukopenia (<2500 WBC) or thrombocytopenia (<100,000), or severe anemia.
HYDREA is contraindicated in patients who have demonstrated a previous hypersensitivity to hydroxyurea or any other component of its formulation.
Other Brand Names containing Hydroxyurea:
Biosupressin; Droxia; Hidrix; Hydrea; Hydreia; Hydura; Hydurea; Litaler; Litalir; Onco-Carbide; Oxyurea; Ureaphil;
Indication, Mechanism Of Action, Drug Interactions, Food Interactions, etc..

The Forgetten Rotator Cuff Muscle, Part 4
With this article on exercise rehabilitation, I will end the series on injuries to the teres minor. Since the teres minor and infraspinatus muscles perform some of the same actions, the first strengthening exercise is the same for both.
As soon as the client can perform the motion described in exercise #1 using one pound without pain or discomfort, they can begin doing the exercise daily. This usually occurs after several treatments. Show the client the exercise and then check that they are doing it correctly when they come for the next session.
Exercise #1
Lie on your side with the injured side up and allow the injured arm to hang down. Grasp a one to three-pound weight, keeping the elbow and upper arm close to your body. Now lift your hand, rotating your arm toward the ceiling until it is at a 180-degree angle to your body. Perform three sets of 10 of this exercise resting momentarily between each set. If there is pain during the exercise, stop. There should be a sense of fatigue near the end of the third set. If fatigue sets in sooner, do less repetitions.
After the client has been conscientiously doing exercise #1 for a week or two, add exercise #2.
Exercise #2
For this second teres minor exercise, which combines lateral rotation with adduction, you will need a five or six inch ball or a rolled up bath towel, in addition to a light free weight.
Lie down on the good side with a pillow under the head. Place a soft five or six inch ball or rolled up towel in the axilla. Grasp a weight and bend the elbow of the injured shoulder at 90 degrees. The weight should be just in front of the navel. Now, slowly laterally rotate the shoulder (bringing the hand into the air), while simultaneously squeezing the ball or towel toward the ribs.
The client continues the exercises until they can perform three sets of 10 with six to 10 pounds without any fatigue. The maximum weight will depend on the size and strength of the person you're working with. In order to establish a benchmark, see how much weight the person can do with their good shoulder.
With these four articles you should be able to assess, treat and guide the client to a successful rehabilitation.

How Rick Wakeman put his epic concept album on repeat
Posted: April 12, 2014|
By Jackie Butler @QueenJackieB
He was 24 years old, with immaculate curtains of strawberry blonde hair framing a fresh, intelligent face, flamboyant white satin cloak sweeping the ground, and fingers commanding a bank of keyboards and new-fangled electronic gadgetry – all confirming his status as a 1970s prog rock icon.
On stage with Rick Wakeman at London's Royal Festival Hall, were the London Symphony Orchestra, the English Chamber Choir, plus assorted rock musicians and actors, performing his epic composition Journey To The Centre Of The Earth, for a record that went on to sell 15 million copies around the world.
Such an ambitious gathering was only repeated three times in the UK after the release of the chart-topping LP in 1974, and a few more occasions overseas in Australia and Japan.
The odds of the whole shebang turfing up on stage at Plymouth Pavilions 40 years later for a repeat performance were, at best, pretty slim. But never underestimate a chancer with a maverick streak, an enduring passion, a gung-ho spirit and, possibly, a death wish...
"Suicidal is probably the word I'm looking for, and definitely the one my accountant would use," laughs Rick, as rehearsals get under way for a 14-date nationwide tour, which hits the Westcountry on Saturday, April 26, two nights after opening in Newcastle.
Apart from the huge costs involved in putting on a show of this scale, one of the major hurdles that prevented an earlier revival was the vanishing act of the vital original conductor's score.
"In 1980 I was all set to take it out on the road again and went to the place where the score was supposed to be stored, and it was gone," recalls Rick.
But out of the blue four years ago a box of random stuff arrived from Australia and at the bottom he found the score.
"It was in terrible condition. The pages were all stuck together with water damage," he says.
Conductor Guy Protheroe, from the English Chamber Choir, helped him to piece it back together and get it onto the computer in a workable form to re-record.
"He also reminded me that when I wrote it in 1973 it was nearly an hour in length. Because you used to be restricted to 36 minutes on an LP we ditched 20 minutes of it," adds Rick.
He embarked on the extended new recording at the legendary Abbey Road studios with the Orion Symphony Orchestra, The English Chamber Choir, and actor Peter Egan.
The new album was released in November 2012 as a limited edition project for his "12,500 hardcore supporters", with a copy of the 1974 Royal Festival Hall concert programme included in a fan-pack.
"These people are always very honest and at the beginning of the project we got a lot of negative comments to start with; people saying 'Are you sure you want to do this?'," admits Rick.
"But when we did put it out the response was phenomenal. We had 11,000 emails to the website saying 'you've got to play this live'.
"I thought why not? You've got to do what you feel. I like doers – I'm not fond of 'coulders'. There's a wonderful saying – 'success is buried in the garden of failure'; I have that printed out in my music room and studio.
"It's normally 20 years after you have done something that you can look back and know whether you've done the right thing or not. I think sometimes we are too frightened of failure to keep digging for the successful bits.
"And, anyway, I'm not a very good relaxer. I probably won't be able to hear the nails being banged in," he adds.
So, the live version began to take shape and as well as marking the four decades since the delivery of the boundary-breaking concept album, this concert resurrection coincides with the 150th anniversary of the classic science fiction book that inspired it – Jules Verne's Journey to the Centre of the Earth.
"It's been a long old haul – we've been working solidly on it for the past nine months," adds Rick, who will this time be accompanied by The New World Symphony Orchestra, The English Chamber Choir and the English Rock Ensemble, with actor Philip Franks as his narrator.
"It's never going to happen again; it's just these 14 shows with around 80 of us on stage, plus my huge keyboard rig. It's a logistical nightmare, but we won't let that stop us," says Rick.
"The easiest thing would be to plonk myself in somewhere like Birmingham and do it there for a few days but I think that's cheating... and it's not very exciting. I've always been a wandering minstrel. Driving around from place to place – that's exciting.
"My manager now is actually the one I had back then when the album first came out. His reaction was 'Oh, no, not again'."
The touring show is in two parts, which won't surprise anyone who is familiar with Rick in his "Grumpy Old Man" guise on TV or the one man and his piano show he took to the Edinburgh Festival last year.
He's a witty chap who enjoys musing about life and indulging in a bit of banter.
On this occasion, the first section of the show will see him sharing the hilarious and unlikely tale of the original album, one of several solo efforts he managed to shoehorn alongside his duties as keyboard player with the prog rock band Yes, and high-profile session work with artists like David Bowie.
"There's a lot of silly Journey anecdotes and many are like something out of Spinal Tap – like inflatable monsters with flatulence," he laughs.
Rick will trace the endeavour from the thunderbolt idea that struck him as a teenager, through the trials and tribulations that made the record and world tour almost as challenging as the great adventure the story depicts.
He still has clear memories of the day he found Jules Verne's book on the shelves of the school library in the London suburb of Hanwell.
"When I was eight or nine my dad took me to see a performance of Peter and the Wolf by Prokofiev and I remember thinking even back then that I wanted to do that – combine music with a story," he says.
"When I was 15 or 16 I was in the library, meant to be revising for German. I pulled off the shelf a Jules Verne anthology, found Journey to the Centre of the Earth and started to read it. I spent the whole afternoon reading and as I read I knew that this was the story I wanted to set to music."
That quest remained with him, even though The Six Wives of Henry the Eight became his first concept album, released to huge acclaim in 1973. "I used all the money I made from that to make Journey to the Centre of the Earth," reveals the tireless Rick, who has produced more than 100 solo albums and sold more than 50 million records.
The second half of the show is, of course, the performance of the piece, which Rick hopes will replicate the thrill for the millions who grew up with the original album and, like him, all the film and TV adaptations of the novel. His aim is not only to satisfy loyal fans, but also to introduce his work to a new generation of concert-goers who might garner their own inspirations from it.
There may be a special day-long live recording of the show at a later date, but the project has been film from the outset for a "rockumentary" by Stuart Prebble executive producer of the Grumpy Old Men TV series.
Rick would have loved to bring the show to Truro: "But we've had to pick venues that have a stage big enough to squeeze us all on."
London born and bred, he's long had a soft spot for the Westcountry, especially since his stint in panto at Hall for Cornwall a few years back – "one of my most enjoyable three months ever" – and a period living at Woodbury Salterton in Devon. A father of six and now grandfather of eight, Rick loves to visit the magnificent gardens down here with his fourth wife Rachel.
"We're gardening fanatics and we come down at least once or twice a year," he says. "One of our favourites is Trebah near Falmouth. It has the stand-out wow factor for us."

Finally, the perfect extended wear multifocal lens! Air Optix Aqua Multifocal contact lenses were released in Europe with rave reviews and are now available in the United States. With a precision profile design that allows for a smooth transition between close and distance vision, these contact lenses are perfect for presbyopic people who want to optimize eyesight for everything from using the computer to driving at night. Three powers (near, intermediate, and distance) accommodate different stages of presbyopia and are proven to provide consistently clear vision with optimal centering and a comfortable fit.
The Air Optix Aqua Multifocal contact lenses also feature Cibavision's proprietary hydrophilic material that allows up to five times more oxygen to your eyes than traditional soft multifocal contact lenses. You will not find a more comfortable lens, whether for daily or extended wear, in the multi-focal format.
While actual wear recommendations come from your eye care professional, Air Optix Aqua Multifocal contacts can be worn either daily for one month, or as extended wear lenses for six nights and seven days. These lenses are lightly tinted for ease of handling but will not change your eye color. Each box of Air Optix Aqua Multifocal lenses contains six lenses individually packaged in blister packs of sterile saline solution.
For how long can I wear my Air Optix Multifocal lenses?
Air Optix Multifocal lenses can be worn for one month with daily removal and cleaning. After one month, though, the lenses should definitely be replaced for a fresh pair to keep your eyes feeling smooth, clean and clear. Or if worn over six nights and seven consecutive days, then replace the contacts with a new pair. This wearing schedule accelerates the deterioration process.
Can I sleep with my Air Optix Multifocal lenses in?
You can wear your Air Optix Multifocal lenses at nighttime for six consecutive nights and seven days before they begin to cause discomfort. After this span, replace your Air Optix Multifocal lenses with a fresh pair to ensure optimal comfort and crisp vision. Consult your eye doctor to see whether or not this wearing schedule is right for you.
Will the Air Optix Multifocal lenses help manage my presbyopia?
The Air Optix Multifocal lens has three distinct zones: near, intermediate and distance. They've been uniquely developed to offer those who suffer from focus impairments the seamless ability to adjust depth of field according to environment, maintain balance and easily transition from near to far focus without any unnecessary trouble. Ask your eye doctor to be completely sure these lenses will help with your presbyopia; another healthy alternative is Acuvue Oasys for Presbyopia.

May 6, 2014

Rumors are floating around right now that there is a video that features WWE diva Aksana in the nude.

April 20, 2014
Through Twitter, Tammy Sytch revealed that she was moving to New York City. The former WWE diva has been making headlines over the last few years for all the wrong reasons, so the hope is that this move will help her get her life back on track.

April 19, 2014
Since she is becoming more known to the WWE universe, developmental diva Paige has become quite the target for male fans who want to see more of her naked body.

This bikini picture is the closest that you're going to get to that.
March 26, 2014
Since she has appeared nude in Playboy magazine before, it should come as no surprise that Torrie Wilson has plenty of naked and topless photos online. This is a really sexy picture of the former WWE diva being topless. She is wearing a bikini bottom, but it is rather skimpy.
March 26, 2014
Since she was one of the more popular performers in WWE, many have wondered if there are Michelle McCool nude photos floating around the internet.

March 25, 2014
The segments on Total Divas where Cameron was showing nude Eva Marie pictures to the WWE stars backstage has worked out tremendously, in terms of marketing.

March 24, 2014
Since they're heavily featured on Monday Night Raw, Smackdown and Total Divas, the Bella Twins have gained quite a bit of popularity over the last year.

March 22, 2014

England players mainly from top eight clubs, says Johnson
Sunderland's Adam Johnson says it is all about who you play for when it comes to playing for the country.
The midfielder, who has 12 senior caps, was tipped to make it into Roy Hodgson's squad for the friendly with Denmark earlier this month after embarking on a blistering run of form for his club.
He told the Journal: "I think a lot of people saw me as almost a certainty [for the Denmark team], but if you look at the last squad it, was almost all top-eight bar [Cardiff defender Steven] Caulker. He added, "I don't think it really matters how well you are playing - it's who you play for."
Of the 30 men named by Hodgson for the Denmark game, 25 of them play for clubs among that group.
