Sarratt youth football club holds annual awards ceremony
1:19pm Wednesday 11th June 2014 in News By Kathryn Snowdon, Senior Reporter
A Sarratt youth football club recognised its young members at its annual awards ceremony at the weekend.
The Sarratt Rebels Youth Football Club held the event, accompanied by a barbecue, at King George V playing fields on Saturday afternoon.
Watford FC mascot, Harry the Hornet made a special guest appearance at the event as awards were handed out to the young players.
The young footballers train on Saturday mornings and compete in the West Herts Youth League and the Watford Friendly League on Sundays.
While all of the boys receive awards for their achievement over the 2013/14 season, particular recognition was given to a select few who particularly stood out in the group.
Awards were not necessarily awarded to the most skilful players, but to those who improved the most and who are most appreciated by their team mates for personality, commitment, endeavour and fortitude.
The Sarratt Rebels Youth Football Club, established in 1998 as an under eights aged team having broken away from Chipperfield Youth Football Club, has its home at the King George V playing fields.
The club now trains about 100 primary school boys, ranging from five to 11-year-olds.
The Sarratt Rebels takes boys of all abilities and is run entirely by volunteers.
Special awards this year included:
- Under 10s: Parents' Player of the Season went to Harrison Hobbs and Managers Player of the Year went to Harrison Hobbs
- Under 9s: Parents' Player of Season went to Adam Lowe and Most Improved Player went to Aiden Sheppard
- Under 8s: Players' Player Awards went to Henry O'Brien in the Yellow Team and to James Carter in the Blacks team
- Under 7s: Parents' Player of the Year went to Harry Foot and Cameron Dallas was awarded most improved player
- Under 6s: Most improved player was Max Higgins and player of the season went to Oliver Selwood

March 4, 2012, Merced, USA – Ina Teutenberg has claimed her second win of the season in as many days taking out the third and final stage of the Merco Cycling Classic in California, USA.
The 72mile, mostly flat course saw aggressive racing from the Specialized lululemon team again, however they were unable to establish a break that would last to the finish meaning Teute's fast twitch fibre was again on call.
As Ina had shown in the Downtown criterium the night before she was the quickest in the peloton crossing the line with a comfortable lead to Joelle Numainville (Optum Pro Cycling) and Kristin Armstrong (Exergy Twenty12) who filled the minor placings.
Teute's teammate Ally Stacher said it was important that the team raced their bikes aggressively in the final stage of the three day classic as the team is looking hone their fitness for the upcoming races.
"We all raced well today and made multiple good moves but everything was brought back" Ally explained of the race. "Clara rocked as a teammate and drove breaks making the other teams work. Evie raced with skill and was really aggressive and I was in a small break towards the end but it didn't stick."
"Loren took Ina home by helping her in the finish and we're really pumped to get the win again today!"
After a beginning to Specialized lululemon's first American racing stint and some great team work my bet is they're now enjoying some good mexican and thai chow before some frozen yoghurt.
The American racing stint kicks off again with the San Dimas Stage race starting on the 16th of March before the Redlands Bicycling Classic a week later.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - Friday morning in the Metro, depending on what time you had to be at work, you either had an easy commute or a dicey one. The weather moved in right in the middle of the morning, leaving people scrambling to deal with the ice.
With a thin layer coating everything, an army of workers spreading salt hit the streets to fight it. "So I'm slipping and sliding everywhere," said Louisville worker Peggy Burgin.
She left her house at around 4:30 in the morning when there was, "no snow, no nothing, nothing. It was great coming in."
By the time Burgin got back on the road to do her job, everyone around her was sliding.
"I was on the Watterson, it's slick," Burgin said. "I had to go over on Shelbyville Road on Fairfax. Their parking lot was ice, and then when I got over to the Portland area, it's ice over there and I've seen so many people run through the stop signs because they don't realize, they think the roads are wet. They're icy!"
"Everything did happen all at once," said Jody Johnson with Louisville MetroSafe.
Johnson, the call takers and dispatchers at MetroSafe saw their cold morning heat up fast. In 30 minutes, they got calls about 19 wrecks with injuries and many more where people weren't hurt.
"We had two injury accidents and two non injury accidents a week ago, the same time," Johnson said.
This time there were almost ten times that, which is why people like Burgin have the right idea.
"I'm doing ok because I'm going slow and steady," Burgin said. "Slow and steady wins the race here."
For a time Friday morning, police had to stop responding to non-injury accidents and instead asked people to use state accident forms because they were just overwhelmed with the number of crashes.

Pensioner foils conman's plan to scam her over the telephone
Updated 5:50pm Thursday 3rd April 2014 in News
A pensioner almost fell victim to a conman pretending to be a police officer.
The 74-year-old from East Grinstead received a phone call on Tuesday from a man who said he was an officer from Hammersmith.
He claimed he had arrested someone who was in possession of her bank card and there had been three transactions made on her account.
She became suspicious when she checked her handbag and found her cards. The man said he needed she needed to cancel her bank card and he would phone her back.
She phoned her sister and when they checked with her bank, they discovered no money had been withdrawn or transactions made.
They then reported the call to Sussex police and discovered it was a scam.
Detective Inspector Mark Cullimore said: "Fortunately this woman did not fall prey to this scam.
"Never give out your bank or card details to someone who has contacted you on your home phone unsolicited. The caller keeps the line open and will pretend to be from whoever you think you have just rung, so if you have any suspicions do not use the phone you have just been called on.
"Use a mobile or someone else's phone or wait at least 10 minutes before trying to call."Please pass this message on to anyone you know who may not be aware of this particular type of targeted fraud to prevent any vulnerable friends or family members from becoming victims."
Anyone who has any information about this incident should call police on 101 quoting serial 0716 of 01/4.

A recently shut down Abilene head shop is preparing to open up once again.
City permits show Mr. Nice Guys is set to open up a new store at 1735 Treadaway. The store was forced to shut down its location on South 14th earlier this year after city zoning requirements changed, allowing head shops to operate only in industrial areas of town.
Mr. Nice Guys has kept its store on Butternut street, selling tobacco and novelty items.

text: A lot of people of the past few years have hounded Team Glazer for being cheap, I could see why they said this but never agreed with them. Team Glazer was paying John Gruden and Bruce Allen millions of dollars to not be apart of the Bucs anymore, that is not being cheap. I see what the Glazers have done as being smart business owners. Under the Gruden era we barley had any cap space, had one of the oldest teams in the league, and did not have a future at all for this team. When they hired Raheem and Dominick they went young, had two horrible seasons and one good season. You can not argue with the Glazers for not signing a ton of players last year, yes should they have signed one or two free agents, I think so. But they did not, they decided to roll with the same team that won them 10 games the year before. That did not work out, they ended up firing all the coaches and now have a very good job to offer a coach who knows what there doing. The Glazers have the ability to go after a coach who has had success in the past, and tell that coach, hey we have a ton of money to spend over the next few years, come coach the bucs, you already have a young franchise QB here and a solid core of offensive and defensive players. We will allow you to go out and get who you want as long as you make this team a contender. Some fans might think this will never happen, but after what I have heard from the Glazers and Dominick today, I surely believe that is what is going to happen. Only way we don't get big name players, is if they turn down coming to Tampa. With no state tax, a big name coach, and a lot of money being thrown at them, I don't believe many players with turn that down.

How well do you know your integers? Probably not as well as the 7th- and 8th-graders from Southern Lehigh Middle School's Mathcounts team.
The Southern Lehigh team took second at the 29th Annual Regional Mathcounts competition.
In addition to a team award, two students on the team took home individual medals. Daniel Qian, an 8th-grader, took home fourth overall. As one of the top four, Quain advances to the state championship.
Sarah Mackin, also an 8th grader, was the second highest ranked female competitor.
"They just knocked out all these other schools," said middle school assistant principal Nathan Davidson. "We are just so proud of these kids."
The top four individuals and top team from each state head to Washington, D.C., in May to compete for top national honors. Orefield Middle School in the Parkland School District wont first place at the competition.
The competition was held Sunday, Feb. 10 at Trexler Middle School in Allentown. According to a press release, more than 200 competitors from five counties attended.

I don't think the program makes a different sound for hammer ons and pull offs, I think the only difference is what you see on your screen. But what G_urr_A said works: the slide doesn't give an attack to the note you land on. The only problem with slides is that it gives you a perfectly gradual raise (or lowering) of the note that is played so it sounds exactly like a bend! (or release)
It's like it's programmed for fretless instruments ....
Some people say to think outside the box.
I say do away with it. You can always stand in its former location if you need to make use of the perspective it gave you, but will benefit from the ability to situate yourself in different loci with ease.
Destroy the box.

Protecting The Polar Bear
Global warming is causing Arctic temperatures to rise, sea ice to break up, and these majestic Polar Bears to lose the very ground they walk on.
The Effects of Global Warming
Global warming is causing Arctic temperatures to rise, sea ice to break up, and these majestic Polar Bears to lose the very ground they walk on. Some drown, having to swim increasingly exhausting distances between floes in search for food. Others - too stressed - are unable to breed. And so it is that this ultimate Arctic survivalist, designed to endure temperatures of - 50°F and thrive in some of the most inhospitable terrain on earth, needs our help.
If current climate trends continue unabated, polar bears could become extinct by the end of this century. In commemoration of Lowepro's 40th Anniversary, we have joined forces with Polar Bears International (PBI) to help raise awareness about the Polar Bear habitat and the effects of global warming. We invite you to join us on the quest. A good place to start is PBI's website at www.PolarBearsInternational.org/. Not only will you find a wealth of balanced information on issues affecting polar bears, you'll learn that as an organization, 100% of the money raised goes for the bears.
Donate. Volunteer. Get involved. The last chapter isn't written yet and we all have a hand in how this turns out.
What's the Use of Making Products that Last Forever, if the Subject Matter Keeps Disappearing?
Polar bears thrive in some of the most inhospitable terrain on earth
We are members of alliances, conservancies, societies and our world in general. Animals, landscapes, all of nature, pristine and wild have always been our muse and our mentor, and because we want to preserve the world for generations of photographers to come, we're committed to doing our part right now to conserve it.
From everyday things like recycling, reducing waste and conserving energy to sweeping efforts on behalf of polar bears and more, Lowepro celebrates the power of human beings to make a difference in the natural world.
We live in a marvelous world. One where everything's possible; nothing is inevitable; and we all have a part to play.

CBA Talks Today
Some quotes from Bettman: ''We're not asking for a rollback,'' Bettman said. ''We have said that our proposal - the one that is time-sensitive - would have a phase-in, and while it contemplates the possible reduction in player share, if you use our estimates it would be under 10 percent. If you use the players' association's estimate on revenue growth, it would actually be seven percent. ''When you factor all of that in, it seems to me that having a work stoppage and damaging (hockey-related revenue) long term really doesn't make a whole lot of sense.'' ''What we would be prepared to do now to make a deal before there is extensive damage is not the same that we will be prepared to do in the event we get to a point where we have suffered the damage,'' Bettman said. ''We looked at their proposal. It was clear that there wasn't very much movement at all - if any. A little bit around the edges. ''We said we have to try something different which is why we tried to simplify the approach and focus on the percentage.'' Am I totally desperate, or is there reason to be guardedly optimistic about this?

In my continuing campaign to bring back an appreciation for decorum and modesty to our modern, skanky culture, I'm copying a hilarious blog entry I came across about covering your boobies at work. Here in its entirety:
"Look, I'm gay. I'm a backslidden gay Roman Catholic. But, I still look at boobies. If you show your boobies, I'm gonna stare. This is why I need to very politely ask all women to cover their boobies at work. Seriously, when they are practically falling out of your blouse it is hard not to look. I know you see me looking. I can't help myself. I fear a law suit or at the very least a stern talking too. The office is no place for boobies. What would you think if I went around with my my ass or genitals showing? (Besides, "oh man, he's HAWT!") You can make all the arguments you want about boobies not being sexual organs and you can say, "look at my face when I'm speaking!" But if you are showing the boobies I'm still gonna look. I can't imagine what you are putting the straight guys through. My mom always said that we should avoid being a near occasion of sin for someone else. I know that sounds archaic to some people, but really ladies, do you get off on getting men off at the office? The ladies at my hardcore Catholic university used to promote the three finger rule. That is, nothing lower than three fingers width from the pit of your throat. That might be a bit extreme, but you get the idea."
Hard to argue with that, coming from a man who you'd think couldn't care less about cleavage. But there you have it: "If you show your boobies, I'm gonna stare." The office where I work is about half men and half women. Some of the college age women in the office wear clothing that is either quite form-fitting or low-cut, yet they are upset and offended when men look at their chests. How is it that otherwise smart young women are oblivious to the effect that their attire (or lack thereof) has on people? Maybe they've been brainwashed by feminists and they think they can can ignore biological hard-wiring. Office attire ought to be more conservative than what you wear to go out clubbing.
A new generation of women might do well to read John T. Malloy's New Women's Dress for Success (1996), an updated version of his best-seller from the 70's about how to dress so that you are taken seriously in the corporate world. If you want to advance in your career, you dress like your boss. Neat, conservative, nothing sexually provocative. Another useful book about dressing to enhance your credibility at work (and increase your paycheck!) is Dressing Smart by Chic Simple Author Kim Johnson-Gross. Time and a place, ladies, there's a time and a place.


text: The Steelers have a big game this week at Heinz Field a loss means its the end of the road and win means rejuvenation, they play a very off and on team in the Dolphins. I expect the SteelCurtain to be in full effect knowing whats at stake and clamping down on Tannehill and forcing him into bad decisons, but the defense really shouldnt be the problem its more the extremely banged up offense. The offensive line got even more shuffled on Thanksgiving night with Beachum,Velasco, Decastro,and Adams all going down the status on all of them is unknown except Velasco who had been playing so well hes down for the season enter Cody Wallace. Its a very worry some to be down to your 3rd string center and we all are still uncertain of his skill lets hope its great, and the icing on the cake is emerging star Leveon Bell went down on a vicious hit on the final drive that ended in a concussion hes questionable. Also dont forget Mike Wallaces return home I dont expect him to be huge factor but he is a speedster and all it takes is one play to score with him, but two big things contribute to me not being worried 1. I dont think Tannehill can deliver the ball perfectly for him to catch on run if open 2. Mike if hes open always is a 50/50 shot that he will come down with it. I think this game will have a playoff atmosphere to it with the Dolphins schedule not being promising down the road I see this as a must win for them and if the Steelers fall its all over the only thing that would be left to know is where will pick in the draft. Despite the injuries I believe too much in Tomlin, LeBeau, and of course Big Ben I think the defense will cause some key turnovers and Ben and the offense will capitalize, I think the Steelers win

|Came over via Grays Peak Trail after climbing the Dead Dog Couloir on Torreys. Quite a few more people over on Grays Summit. Looking down on the main trail there were so many people on it they looked like a string of ants. We hiked back down to the saddle between Grays and Torreys and glisaded down maybe 1000 feet til we hit the main trail again. I had fun with our route but I think the main route would be a bit boring and crowded.

The Viper and His Famous Orchestra playing Winnebago Bay
Way back in the wondrous days of yore, or, more precisely, the mid-to-late 1990s, I was fortunate to cross paths with a jive-talking, ukulele-playing, yodeling hipster who called himself The Viper. He led a Spirits Of Rhythm-inspired combo called The Famous Orchestra, who recorded two CDs before The Viper left the corn belt to teach Jive in Turkey.
I played steel guitar on the second disc, Everything for Everyone, on this ditty, a Hawaiian song about Wisconsin.
Read more about the record on the Viper Blog

Unique and exciting, this gorgeous museum illuminates the world of ice. Displays and bilingual films show how glaciers form, along with documentaries on continental ice expeditions and stark meditations on climate change.
Unique and exciting, this gorgeous museum illuminates the world of ice. Displays and bilingual films show how glaciers form, along with documentaries on continental ice expeditions and stark meditations on climate change.
One of BA's hottest bars, this basement speakeasy is located within a flower shop, adding an air of mystery and likely a main reason for its success.
The principal historical landmark is this Franciscan monastery and museum, built in 1680. While the museum is mediocre, the church is beautiful, with an exquisite wooden ceiling. The lovely cloister has a real colonial feel and is full of birdsong and the perfume of flowers.
Rosario sits on the banks of the Río Paraná upper delta, a 60km-wide area of mostly uninhabited, subtropical islands and winding riachos (streams). It's an area rich in bird and animal life, and even the closest islands feel miles away from anywhere, though you can see the city's buildings looming less than 1km to 2km away.
After Plaza de Mayo, Plaza Dorrego is the city's oldest plaza. It dates to the 18th century and was originally a pit stop for caravans bringing supplies into BA from around Argentina. At the turn of the 19th century it became a public square surrounded by colonial buildings that survive to this day.
Only the most cutting-edge national and international artists are invited to show at this elegant art museum, which features high ceilings, white walls and large display halls.
This small but excellent museum is run by enthusiastic staff (some English spoken) who talk you through displays covering the three main pillars of Chaco population: indigenous inhabitants (there are some excellent ceramics and Toba musical instruments here); criollos who resulted from interbreeding between the European arrivals and the local populations; and 'gringos', the w.
At last count, more than 600 sculptures graced the city, a number that increases with every Bienal. The streets are packed with them, especially around the plaza and north up Av Sarmiento. Every Bienal, a brochure is printed with a sculpture walking tour around the city.
Having studied in Milan, Paris and Barcelona, celebrity TV-chef Leandro Cristóbal now runs the kitchen at this renowned San Telmo bistro. Start with fabulous tapas, then delve into the grilled Spanish octopus, molleja (sweetbreads) cannelloni and the amazing pork bondiola (deliciously tender after nine hours' roasting). Most of the seafood is flown in daily from Patagonia.
This cultural center/performance space was built in 1901 as a combined chapel/monastery/women's prison. In mid-2007 it was re-inaugurated to showcase work by Córdoba's young and emerging artists. There are a couple of hip cafe-bars in the central patio area where you can kick back with an Appletini or two.
Local craftspeople sell their wares at this market, along the eastern edge of Plaza Pagano, which boasts over 300 artists, who make and sell everything from wooden cutting boards and handcrafted mate (a bitter ritual tea) gourds to jewelry, flutes and marionettes.
This fine archaeological museum displays a superb collection of pre-Columbian ceramics from several different cultures and eras. Some – particularly the black Aguada ceramics with their incised, stylized animal decoration – is of truly remarkable quality.
This tiny chef-owned gem presents Fuegian staples like crab and octopus in a giddy new context.
Manuel Belgrano, who designed the Argentine flag, rests in a crypt beneath this colossal stone obelisk built where the blue-and-white stripes were first raised. If rampant nationalism isn't your thing, it's nevertheless worth taking the elevator to the top (AR$5) for the great views over the waterfront, Río Paraná and its islands.
One of the city's best contemporary art museums stands ostentatiously on the eastern side of Plaza España. Architect Juan Kronfuss designed the neoclassical building as a museum and it was inaugurated in 1916. Exhibits change monthly.
This intriguing museum in a converted colonial house has small displays of fine traditional artesanía (handicrafts) as well as a good shop, but the highlight is watching students being taught to work leather, silver, bone and wood by master craftspeople. Other rooms around the courtyard are occupied by working artisans who will sell to you directly.

"The Wayans Bros.," an exciting comedy starring Shawn and Marion Wayans, airs every Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. In the show, Shawn and Marion play brothers who live together and own a news stand. Shawn, the smooth-talking stud of the two, and Marion, the younger brother who is forever acting like a five-year-old, seem to have a conflict every week, but always resolve it with a brotherly hug. Their father, John Witherspoon, has a coffee shop in the same building as their newsstand and they usually go to him with their problems. Even though Pops has weird ways of expressing solutions, they understand.
This is a great show for teens because many of the issues are a reality in a teen's life. Kids feel at home when they watch the show. Also, it is a positive influence - Shawn and Marion work things out in the proper way. Whether it is over a girl or a friend or a job, they come out best friends.
"The Wayans Bros." is a great show that is important for teens to watch because it teaches valuable lessons and is a good, funny, in-style show. I recommend it to anyone who is in the mood for a laugh or just a good show
This piece has been published in Teen Ink's monthly print magazine.

I realize that nobody knows what makes LeBron James tick. We've heard arguments that all he cares about is winning. We've heard arguments that he wants to be a global icon. We've heard arguments that he's insanely loyal to his friends and doesn't want to disappoint them. We've heard arguments that he wants to create his own "legacy," more than anything. We've heard arguments that he just wants to relive his high school career and will go to whatever team lets him do that.
Okay, I'm kidding on the last one. Or am I? I believe Marc Berman of the New York Post is being serious when he writes this.
If the Knicks are auditioning the desperately needed point guard position, they could do worse than offering a summer-league roster spot to one of LeBron James' closest buddies, Dru Joyce III. The Knicks' summer league team competes in July in Las Vegas.
Joyce, who played in Poland last season, was the rock on James' high-school team at St. Vincent-St. Mary in Akron. In James' book on his high school team, "Shooting Stars," James calls Joyce "a brother" and King James nicknamed him "The General."
The Knicks, who have no point guards on their roster other than Toney Douglas, are willing to pull out all the stops for James and probably would be willing to offer Joyce even a training-camp invitation - if that's what it would take.
In case you're wondering, Joyce currently plays for Anwil Wloclawek in Poland, a team that's actually about to compete in the Polish league finals. He averages 8.3 points and 3.6 assists in about 20 minutes per game for them off the bench. That's right, he doesn't even start. For a Polish team.
I'd mock this further, but at the same time, nobody knows how LeBron works. Maybe this actually will make a difference. Who knows? ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
(Sorry, I know that joke is overused. Carry on).

How do you get going again after pregnancy?
I thought skimmed milk was higher in calcium + vit d
than full fat. But I believe the reason for making sure u
r getting enough vit d is that they have found a connection between
low vitamin d levels inutero + developing ms in later life
Camryn is generally a really good eater except she likes
very little in the way of carbs, except sweeties. But she eats
loads of veg, meat + fish so I just go with the flow + let her
eat her gums, chocolate mousse + mini roll for pudding
as she needs the calories. If u take the sweets out her diet
she eats the perfect diet for a woman who wants to lose weight
breakfast is usually berries with total yoghurt + syrup
lunch typically chicken, brocolli, carrots, cauliflower + gravy
dinner pork chop with a mountain of curly kale
doesn't like rice, pasta, potatoes + only small amounts of
she does like most fruit too
M would eat fruit all day long if she could. I struggle with getting her to eat 'proper' things - she's not a big meat fan so Shepards pie, lasagne type things are a no go. Usually it's a carb and some veg and some meat and usually she'll eat the carb and a bit of veg. Meat gets chewed then spat out often. At the moment I'm offering a sensible meal with something she will eat included and put no pressure on her. I do need to get a bit tougher about not letting hubby give her crackers etc before dinner, and giving more challenging meals - I often just give her what I know she'll eat. Drives me mad if I let it but try not too. outside of dinner time she's great at trying new things even if she then doesn't like them.
Mum coming up tomorrow for the night - cant wait!! Lovely sunshine as well!
mine are pretty good, but use almost exactly the same words as Vixo in the evening - you could have been me!!! So there are no alternatives, they are not going to starve and if they go 'lite' on a meal it's not the end of the world. When we are all tired though I don't bother to serve up more adventurous stuff, I save that for when we are all in the right frame of mind!!
Tonight is my tough night for food as we eat picnic style in the car on the way to guitar!!
final dentist trip and last filling done hopefully ...
very easy 5km this morning beforehand
Been a bit grey here this week weather-wise but not cold, think Sunday we had the most rainfall we have had for months and months, we definitely needed it though as it is sooooo dry.
LOL at Archie and the wet pants Camlo!! Hope the appt goes OK.
Yes I think it's that getting stuck in a rut, offering the same things all the time that I'm worried I've got into. So I was thinking, what else could I try with them, then I just despair when Sophie won't even eat boiled potatoes (soaked in vinegar ) and has decided she no longer likes courgette! But I agree with CC - it is all about being in the right frame of mind - yesterday I was not in the right frame of mind, knew she wouldn't eat all of it so got extra wound up when she didn't! I do say "oh well, don't eat it then" now when she has a look at what I'm making and complains. And yes it's all separate things on the plate with whatever's new in a tiny portion that she has to eat - I just wish I could make a big lasagne or something and we all sit down happily to eat it. Or maybe that kind of family doesn't exist...!
Sophie starts gymnastics tonight at 5pm which will be a bit of a logistical puzzle around teatime etc but hopefully it'll work ok!
I never have much time or opportunity to post these days but thought I'd pop in to (hopefully) offer some reassurance to those with fussy eaters. As some of you who have been posting here for a long time may recall, Kit was a total nightmare with food. Trying to get him to try something new was fighting a losing battle and the only things he would eat were a few savoury dishes I'd made specifically for him when he was weaned (a very bland chicken casserole and an equally bland beef or lamb one). He wouldn't eat fish fingers, sausages, pizza, pasta, or any of the usual 'staples' - bolognese, macaroni cheese, jacket potatoes ... He did like carrots and peas and would eat potato if it was hidden in a casserole.
Everyone used to tell me to put whatever it was I wanted him to eat on his plate, give him time to eat it then remove it if he wouldn't and not give him anything else. Rightly or wrongly, I couldn't do that and would rather give him what I knew he'd eat so at least I knew he'd had something proper to eat. The worst point came when he even refused the few dishes he could normally be relied upon to eat and we went through about three weeks of him refusing to eat anything but toast before he decided to eat my casseroles again. He was always happy to eat breakfast and yoghurt and there were times I used to dip things I wanted him to try in yoghurt in an effort to persuade him. The only person who didn't worry was my mum, who always believed that in time he would get past the fussy stage and would eat normally. I wanted to believe her, but I'm not sure I really did.
But she was right. I never pressured him into trying things, but eventually it came from him - he would gradually ask to try things he'd see us eating and I think the thing that made the biggest difference was making the effort to sit and eat together as a family every weekend (we can't do so during the week). I started cooking a roast every Sunday and gradually he started to accept more and more foods. It took a long time but he now eats almost everything and I would certainly not describe him as a fussy eater. The only things he really doesn't like/won't try are baked beans, ham and raw tomatoes. It's only relatively recently that he started to eat pasta and he now says it's his favourite food!
So I just wanted to say don't despair - I do believe that most children come round eventually. For me the key was not stressing at mealtimes (I used to be terrible) and eating together as a family regularly.
My stepdaughter was a terrible eater, very fussy + ate very
little, she grew out of it but then unfortunately developed an
allergy + cannot eat any uncooked veg, some veg she can't eat
even cooked + can't eat any fruit. She salivates over the stuff
now wishing she could eat it, changed days from having to fight
to get her to eat every meal.
What a horrid allergy TT. Must be awful for her.
camlo - hope all went wwell
minks - good to hear from you!
I've been struggling with wed, Thursday and fri food wise. Swimming 5.30, beavers. 5.45, trampolining don't get bak till gone 6. Having to do reheatable stuff or kids just get junk which is no good.
Apaarently milk has to be full fat as it has more vit d. To prevent neonatal ricketts I believe. Was told to have plenty of sunshine and get free vits at some point!
house currently chaos. Ordered new carpets for lounge, hall, stairs and landing at weekend. Currently trying to get gloss work sorted before they come next Thursday! Still my minging mahogany n bannister is going which can only be a good thing!
we had picnic tea on a park bench in Nairn today ... no jogscotland so went straight from Ss haircut after school guitar.
Do agree they get past that phase definitely, J used to be far less adventurous than he is now. Also agree that some time spent eating together is definitely worthwhile, even if just at the weekend, which is what we always try to do. Sometimes the simplest stuff is the most popular - mine positively devour oven-baked salmon - nothing on it, just baked and served ... but two months ago S wouldn't touch it with a barge pole!!
I have a friend who is allergic to vegetables and a fair few items of fruit too
Full-fat milk is not exactly mega, high-fat food anyway. Not that I like it cos I don't, but in the grand scheme of things it's not evil diet-wise and we all need *some* fat in our diet.
Just been told my car is terminal ... sigh ... knew it was on the cards, is over 10 years old now with just shy of 150,000 miles on it ... but even so . I hate being so reliant on a car, but such is life with rural living and kids with such a busy life!! (oh, and the small matter of the mainly absent husband!)
Thank you Minks and good to hear from you, that really made me smile . I think time at the weekend eating together is something we should do more. Sophie has improved loads from when she was younger (she was the only child I knew who wouldn't touch yoghurt till she was at least 2!) and she is sooo much better at trying things now, and knows she only gets treats if she eats everything which often works as an incentive.
So thank you so much ladies for your support - I knew I could rely on you to give me sound advice . I feel like I've been virtually hugged .
Boo to the car CC, it's such a b*gger when they need replacing as it is such a big outlay initially, which most of us don't have sitting in a spare bank account.
Just been to a pretty dull circuits - had a guy covering the usual guy, couldn't hear him half the time and all we did was stand still with a mat doing a succession of exercises!
10k race for me on Sunday in Penistone. Beautiful route so I'm hoping to enjoy it, and for my first race pain-free. Fingers and toes crossed.
JG - it's definitely worth persevering with as their tastes do change. Lily is 10 now and although she'll at least try most things and isn't too fussy, there are still a few things that she's not keen on. In the last couple of years though we've seen a real change with her enjoying food with strong flavours much more. I do think eating together as a family as often as you can is really important though. I know that mine are more likely to try foods because they see us eating them but I also know I'm lucky that I can manage to get home from work in time to have a family dinner pretty much every day. Hubby is a brilliant cook and has dinner on the table when I get home - kids mostly always have the same as us unless he does a really spicy dish (although he'll often add chilli to a lot of the meals he cooks and then just lets the kids add natural yoghurt to cool theirs down a bit).
Oh, any lying to the kids is always good to get them to eat stuff. Issie decided a few weeks back that she didn't like prawns anymore so we told her that the ones on her plate were actually "chicken prawns" so they tasted just like chicken (which she loves) and she then ate them all. She's now convinced that the "chicken prawn" exists and checks when we have prawns that these are the chicken variety and not the normal ones!
Well tonight is Lily's school production of Alice in Wonderland and she has the main role of Alice. She's been working really hard learning all the lines and her solo songs (all 5 of them!) but I think I'm actually more nervous than she is. Really just hope she enjoys it as she's been a bit stressed and upset on occasions when she's struggled to remember some of the words to the songs. Personally, I think the parts are too large for her age group - on top of the songs she tells me she has 57 lines to remember. Anyway, fingers crossed it all goes okay and they have fun doing it.
I do find it hard to second guess what they will like from one day to the next. Aidan has eaten cheese and pickle sandwiches two days running after spending weeks saying he didn't like cheese!
Good luck Lily!
Haha - chicken prawns! Most meat in this house gets called chicken when they start getting iffy about it!
yes, Salmon was pink chicken for a while here!!
GOOD LUCK Lily - that's a lot of words, I agree Karen!
Well for lunch Eric had parsnip mixed with tomato sauce, potato and smoked mackerel, and for dinner we all had quiche and spinach. I am lucky, they are not fussy in the slightest. We eat together maybe twice a wk, and they do get fish fingers, chicken nuggets etc which is fine from time to time.
now am at the coughy stage of the latest cold, which means I'll be coughing my way thou consults tomorrow. Great.
the only curry Ted will eat is his cousin's ahem, favourite
cc - boo to the car . We're really pleased with our Touran, v fuel efficient etc. I know the 55 shape ones arent so great fuel wise( neighbour had one), I think it's the 105 engine which is the good one Which is about 56 plate on I think. My Meriva has been great too if you're after something smaller. I've done 50,000 miles in five years so plenty of time to find out! Know a lot of people (and I mean most people who've owned one!) who have issues with any of the Meganes, be it saloon or scenic. May friend swears by her Citroen people carrier too.
knackered today. Archie managed to lose his footing and dive into the side of his bed and head butt it last night at bedtime. Massive lump and turquoise within seconds, probably half the length of his forehead. Cue trip to RGH. Waited 1.5 hours to see triage who told us two children were in front. After another 1.5 hour
(It's now 10.45 and Archie has utterly lost it) and seeing five teenagers go in front, admittedly with broken bones but happily chatting to parents I enquired where we were, still two in front. At this point I had a hormonal melt down of I can't cope any more nurse was vile and told me I couldn't push in and i would be irresponsible to take him home (even though he was obviuosly fine by this point) in. Appreciate that but try looking after a melting down two year old with everybody glaring at you even though you're in paediatric a and e! Not sure what happened, but was seen within 10 mins. Triage nurse very obviously hasn't organised it as she was obviously peeved! Think maybe dr had seen age, symptoms, tantrum (Archie not me!) and used her noddle! Finally got out at 11pm. Nightmare!
That's terrible JT - considering he probably just needed a couple of quick checks you would have thought they would have done that first rather than leaving you waiting!
that's totally cr*p JT. When I used to go to Frimley Park with J and his various knocks and bashes, the waiting could be ridiculous but they had a fab triage section which got us off home a few times without waiting around for nothing.
Ultimately we want a VW Transporter like Lotte has - is perfect for all our biking, kayaking and camping adventures with the bonus of even being able to sleep in it too (me thinking of all my stupid adventures I have on my own!!). But I think for the time being (cos they are really hard to come by AND very expensive so will take a while to source) we'll probably get an older Subaru (they are all over the place round here) - can hammer them around anywhere over all sorts of terrain (and some of the roads around here are just evil). Agree Tourans are good. No way hubby would consider buying anything French!! He was bad enough when I mentioned something Japanese ...
Hope Archie has no ill-effects from fall though. Mine are v tired, S just come out with a snotty cold so I am trying to avoid succumbing to that before my race on Sunday, and J is just totally shattered. One week and counting to school holidays ...
oh blimey JT - not what you needed!
well, I am planning half marathon training. foolhardy given that I have probably run about 8 times this year! however the antibiotics are working and even though i'm still coughing, it's now not productive (HUGE globules of green gunk are not nice to be coughing up non-stop). I am still having palpitations so I am going to be VERY sensible and take it ueber-easy, doing a very gentle return to running. theoretically. until something else goes wrong
gynae apt on mon at the spire in Cardiff. slightly apprehensive given GP's reaction to tales of fortnightly bleeding but i'm hoping it will be something and nothing...
Is that with Mr Bhal cm? If so he's supposed to be very, very good. He's the guy who sorted me out during my miscarriage. Anyone who works with him rates him highly. Yay to no more green gunk!!! Did no one ever do a sputum sample then? Hope you're on the mend. Think the thing with your training is take it easy and not expect any pbs, unless training goes amazingly. Just run and enjoy

Help for a beginner...Bell's Theorem
View Single Post
Jan6-12, 08:04 AM
Quote by
Hi guys, I'm definitely a beginner when it comes to quantum mechanics but I've recently been reading about Bell's Theorem and have become intrigued by its implications, specifically the nonlocality principle where electrons seem to be able to communicate with each other simultaneously. I understand the results of the expiriment but it is driving me crazy because it is just so hard to accept that this could be true. Do you know of any resource that describes the possible explanations of nonlocality in layman's terms (i.e. something a beginner could possible understand)? Thanks!
Welcome to physicsforums!
Here is a thread on Bell's theorem with easy explanations:
Bell's Theorem - Easy explained
For nonlocality I recommend reading this post on the Backreaction blog:
Nonlocal correlations between the Canary Islands
It assumes though that you know about Minkowski diagrams and light cones.
Once you have understood the concept of a light cone consider the following situation (see attachment, but rightclick on it and open it in a new tab):
You have two detectors A and B and each of them measures a particle of the entangled pair.
M(A) and M(B) denote the measurements at A and B.
When a measurement takes place we suppose a signal of the outcome is emitted. For example if you measure spin-up at detector A a signal is emitted at M(A) (see forward light cone).
This signal could reach the other particle flying to B and influence it, i.e. it tells the second particle to have spin-down, provided that M(B) lies in the forward light cone of M(A).
To prevent this we put M(B)
of M(A)'s light cone, i.e. the measurement M(B) takes place before the signal can reach the particle flying to B. So, there is no way M(A) can have an influence on M(B).
However, let's assume that the light cone is time-symmetric, i.e. the light cone also moves backward in time. We call this the backward light cone (see attachment). This backward light cone reaches the source at t=0 which means that it could have influenced the particle flying to B and told it to have spin-down. This is known as
backward causation
. (I have read about it in the paper
Bell's inequality and 'ghost-like action-at-a-distance' in quantum mechanics
by Richard D Mattuck.)
You can read about it here:
Backward Causation
(Plato Stanford).
Read the section that starts with "Costa de Beauregard".
Action at a Distance in Quantum Mechanics
(Plato Stanford)
See Figure 3.
The idea of a backward light cone looks good in the drawing but it has a problem. It means that a future event can influence the past.

SAN DIEGO (CBS 8/CNS) - San Diego police are looking for two armed men who robbed an Auto-Zone in Ocean Beach.
It happened at 1950 Cable Street just before 8:30 p.m. Monday.
The men entered the business, demanded cash, and ordered employees to the back of the store, then fled northbound with the loot, San Diego police Officer Dino Delimitros said.
Police say they were seen in a silver four-door sedan.
Police described one gunman as black, in his late 20s, about 5 feet 9 and 160 pounds, wearing a white hooded jacket with the hood pull up over his face. The second gunman was black, in his 20s, about 5 feet 9, with a stocky build, and wore a gray hoodie, Delimitros said.
This is the fourth Auto-Zone robbery in the past two weeks with the same suspect descriptions.
Anyone with information should call police.

Fresh herbs are pretty and delicious, as well as easy to grow.
Here are some ideas for easy favors for the guests at your next garden party.
Your waistband won't allow you to eat fried okra every night, and I'm guessing about now, you're tired of zucchini bread. Even your neighbors are exhausted by the zucchini onslaught. Don't ask me why, but I know.
You might even be tempted to throw the remaining excess in the compost bin and hide it with debris, but perish the thought. Before letting any good food go to waste, consider the following.
Can it be pickled? Cucumbers aren't the only vegetables you can preserve, and unlike grandma, our methods don't have to be long and drawn out anymore. Invest in a good, recipe book devoted to putting up small batches of the harvest. Within, you'll find delicious pickling recipes for not only cucumbers, but onions, watermelon rinds--they are delicious, I promise--okra, tomatoes, green beans and so much more.
Can the produce be canned or frozen? Over the years, I've done a lot of canning, and it's just a personal preference, but I like freezing best. For example, I make the tomato sauce below, which I love taking out of the freezer in the dead of winter. When I spoon it over pasta, it instantly evokes summer for me.
Summer in the Garden Tomato Sauce
Adapted from Too Many Tomatoes, Squash, Beans and Other Good Things, by Lois M. Landau and Laura G. Myers
Sauté onions, garlic and red pepper in olive oil. Add remaining ingredients and simmer for one hour. Remove bay leaf. Let sauce cool and place it in serving-size, freezer bags. Remove as much air from bags as possible before closing. Freeze flat and then stack bags vertically to save space.
Don't forget to write the name and date of your sauce on the outside of the bag. Mid-winter, you won't remember the strange, red contents within.
Can I make jams, fruit butters or pie filling from fall fruits like pears, persimmons, apples or quince? How about herb vinegars? All of these homemade items make wonderful gifts and are usually inexpensive to make.
Finally, would your local homeless shelters, soup kitchens, or other agencies designed to assist the poor want any of your surplus? Maybe you didn't plan to Plant a Row for the Hungry_, but you can still share. Call local food banks and shelters in your area and see if they can use home-grown vegetables and fruit. In my state, the Urban Harvest program for the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma encourages gardeners to become involved in many ways including sharing extra food. You can also volunteer at Urban Harvest on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 a.m. to Noon.
Just knowing you're helping someone else who may not normally get much fresh produce in his/her diet has got to make you feel good. Being rewarded with such a generous harvest means plenty to share.

The students were briefed by the four companies, prompting them to go away and work on their ideas before holding client meetings to present their work, with a time constraint of one from start to finish.
Stacey Jenkins (21), originally from Llanelli, was one of the talented students who worked with Cardiff based creative design company Hoffi, on a project which is on-going throughout the year. Stacey was one of the students chosen to design the branding for a music festival which will be linked with the National Museums and Galleries of Wales in 2009.
The project involved expanding on the festival's original triangular flag design, which Stacey developed to create a fresh, new geometric shape which would then attract the younger teen audience, as well as still catering to the older generation.
Stacey sums up her experience: "I found the whole thing really enlightening – I've wanted to do something like this for a long time and get to see my work flourish in a real situation. It's really opened my eyes to what goes on within the design industry and the problems that come with a live brief!"
Now in their third year, students were also given professional design advice by their mentors who enabled them to apply real-life expertise to each of their specific projects and ultimately help develop their careers.
Commenting on how valuable it has been for them as a company, Hoffi's joint Managing Director, Andrew Thomas said: "It's great for us to see the range of talent that is coming from UWIC, and valuable to see the scope of work they've all ready covered."
"That way we can feed back to the university regarding where they've got it right but also the extra thing the students need to be learning which will help them when they get their first job, and will ultimately help us as a company."
A total of 39 Graphic Communication students at UWIC bridged the gap between theory and practise, by working on real life branding projects with design companies Hoffi, Elfen, Staziker Jones and Stils Design, who posed as clients to offer realistic commercial constraints and a taste of the real world.

Their new marketing campaign featured the EZChicken. The "chicken" was in the shape of a pill (aka an antibiotic). You can see in the ad below that he says, "Sure, I was raised with antibiotics. It's just easier."
I'm fine with a restaurant serving antibiotic free meat. It's a choice. What I'm NOT OK with is what Panera Bread says in the following ad, "Hard work pays off eventually. But lazy pays off now." They are saying that farmers who use antibiotics on their animals are lazy! Do they have any idea what farmers go through to raise healthy, nutritious meat on a daily basis for consumers??? I don't think they do!
Antibiotics are only given to animals on an as-needed basis. It's just like with humans. If we get sick, we go to the doctor and get an antibiotic to make us better. Same thing with animals. If one of them gets sick, the vet helps the farmer administer an antibiotic to help it get better. Farmers don't just go handing out antibiotics left and right! They cost money and are only used when needed. You can read more info about antibiotic use in animals on the CommonGround website.
Many farmers have spoken out about this campaign. Katie talks about why she is furious with Panera Bread. Lara talks about how to pluck the EZChicken. Another Katie goes over the Panera Bread Truths and probably the most widely shared blog post about this whole situation is Dairy Carrie's letter to Panera Bread. It garnered so much attention that the Chief Marketing Officer from Panera Bread personally called her. You can read about their phone conversation here.
It sounds like they are going to take some of the offensive ads down, but that's not going to "fix" what they have done. They've used scare tactics to get their consumers to think that their chicken is better and insulted farmers in the process. Other companies that serve antibiotic free foods haven't done that.
Again, I'm all about choices for consumers. If someone wants to serve or buy antibiotic free chickens, by all means go ahead! But Panera Bread and all other restaurants out there, please don't use misinformation to scare your customers into thinking that your food is better than others and PLEASE don't insult the people who raise your food!
Until Panera Bread makes a formal apology to farmers and fixes their campaign strategy, we are staying strong and promoting #PluckEZChicken on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Vine. Join us in telling Panera Bread how you feel about their new marketing campaign!
And pajama bottoms DON'T go with everything!

Week 4 awesome NFL broadcast maps
Cold, Hard Football Facts for Sep 26, 2007
Here's the Week 4 broadcast maps from the mysterious folks at The506.com.
You know it's a bad day when about two thirds of the country is being fed the Oakland-Miami game. Unfortunately, it's this week's Oakland-Miami game, and a not a rebroadcast of their great showdowns of 1973. Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon are your cruise directors on this Titanic of a broadcast. The game is being shown in almost the entire western half of the country, most of Florida, and even the Green Bay market in Wisconsin and Michigan's U.P. Oakland-Miami actually passes for the hour's best broadcast, compared with the other games available to CBS.
The network makes up for the 1 p.m. debacle with a key Denver-Indy showdown that will be shown across most of the nation.
Dallas's continuing status as "America's Team" is pretty clearly on display by the fact that its home game vs. a bad St. Louis team is being shown in about half the nation, including far-reaching outposts in the Northeast, and gets the network's No. 1 crew of Joe Buck and Troy Aikman. Curiosity of the week: Green Bay-Minnesota will be pumped into Cincinnati and Atlanta markets. It's also being shown in Brett Favre's neighborhood of southern Mississippi.

Story #2, of the new Paksworld stories, the "lightning strikes" post, is one of those "out of the blue/accidental hits" stories. Here's the article I found that started it all: "The Ghost Cavalry of Gondole." Right off the bat, the title begs for a story. Reading the article and bring up all the pictures…skin-tingling stuff. It belonged in Paksworld. It felt right for Paksworld. But right as background does not make a story…a big fancy gravesite (a real one) is a fact, not a story.

By Douglas Moser
---- — NORTH ANDOVER — Zora Warren, a mother of two and a political neophyte, won a spot on the School Committee yesterday in the only contested race by a landslide margin in a quiet election.
Warren, 38, is a former teacher who had campaigned on the perspective her variety of experiences would bring to the School Committee. Her opponent, 19-year-old Mark Mezzina, had campaigned on improving communication between the committee and town residents.
The contest was to replace Christine Allen, who decided in January not to seek a third three-year term.
"I appreciated the courtesy of so many people during this campaign to keep it positive and on point," Warren said.
Warren won every one of the eight precincts by a lopsided margin, ringing up 1,166 votes to Mezzina's 526, according to the final totals. Turnout came in at 8.9 percent, with 1,711 ballots cast. North Andover has 19,177 registered voters.
Mezzina, who attended the University of South Carolina until December and had planned to transfer to the University of Massachusetts Lowell, congratulated Warren and said his first race was a valuable experience.
"It was a fun process, even though the result wasn't what I wanted," he said. "But I'm proud of the work I put in."
When asked if he would run again, he thought a moment and said, "We'll see."
Mezzina is a 2011 graduate of Austin Preparatory School. He attended Covenant Christian Academy in Peabody during his middle school years. Before that, he was home-schooled. He currently has three sisters in North Andover public schools.
Warren, the mother of a second grader and a daughter who will be in kindergarten this fall, congratulated Mezzina on "running a great campaign."
Warren has lived in North Andover for 10 years, she said, and her husband is from the town.
Keith Connors, who voted yesterday evening at the town's only polling location at North Andover High School, said he was impressed with both candidates, but voted for Warren.
"I felt Zora Warren had more experience," he said. "She brings in the educational field, she's the parent of children. But I love the enthusiasm of Mark. I hope he stays involved."
Selectman Rosemary Connelly Smedile, first elected to the board 12 years ago, won a fifth three-year term unopposed. Smedile owns and operates Connelly Real Estate and served on the Finance Committee before her election to the Board of Selectmen. This was the first time Smedile has not had an opponent.
Housing Authority board member Mary Beth Soucy also ran unopposed, winning a full five-year term. She was appointed to the Housing Authority board to replace her mother, Helen Soucy, who died in May 2008. She was then elected to fill the remainder of the term.

Villanova University officials presented their latest plan for a major development on the school's campus.
Radnor Township's Planning Commission on Monday considered the school's petition to change Radnor's zoning for their proposal, which includes new dorms, a parking garage and retail stores for the space that is currently a parking lot.
A performing art center is also included in possible future development.
Revisions to an original plan include "a 30-foot frontyard setback along Lancaster Ave., increased setbacks along Ithan Ave. and buffering along the Rt. 100 SEPTA high-speed line, reductions in height for the parking structure and student residence buildings, and a parking scheme that diverts parking concentration and decreases the traffic impact at the congestion-prone Ithan-Lancaster Ave. intersection," reports Main Line Media News.
Part of Villanova's selling point for the new dorms is that it will take students out of area neighborhoods and keep them on campus, lessening traffic and student rental issues. Chris Kovalski, Assistant to the President at Villanova, said that demand has always exceeded supply of on-campus housing, and he believes any new dorms will fill up as others have in the past.
Rosemont resident Patti Barker said "We're not opposed to reasonable development... We just are asking why should Villanova be granted preferential treatment." She asked the Planning Commission to "take your time."
Delaware County Planning Commission will review the school's proposal and give its recommendations.


text: I couldn't understand why Narron brought in Franklin w/ the bases loaded and 1 out today. I was hoping someone might be able to venture a guess as to why a fly ball pitcher would come in that situation and further perhaps answer the unanswerable, why does Jerry insist on seeing Ryan Franklin in the game when it's close and late? Is there something I've missed somewhere? Is Franklin really a Billy Wagner type and I haven't noticed? I thought Franklin was a long relief/mop up pitcher is this off base?

So, I don't have any cable and am trying to find out if there are any lawful and legitimate ways to watch the playoffs online this year. I know TBS allowed internet users without cable accounts to pay $3.99 so they could watch March Madness. Will they be doing something similar with the baseball playoffs?
One valid option is to wait until the game is over, wait another 90 minutes, and then watch it online. When I've tried to do this in the past it gets a bit frustrating trying to watch the game and figure out when it ended so I know about when I can start it without finding out the results - also it's just better to watch it live.
