Description This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 07/870,979, filed Apr. 20, 1992, now abandoned. This invention relates to the production of ethylene oxide by the epoxidation of ethylene in the presence of a silver-based catalyst. More particularly it relates to an improved process for ethylene epoxidation using a feed gas mixture containing greater than 50 mol % ethylene ballast. The feed gas mixture contains from greater than 50 mol %, or about 51 mol %, to 90 mol % ethylene ballast. When compared with currently used feeds which contain 20 to 30% ethylene, the use of an ethylene ballast allows lower operating temperatures along with slightly higher selectivities, and addresses many of the problems which are known in the art. This invention demonstrates that using ethylene as the ballast gas in ethylene epoxidation is effective, contrary to what is implied by related art; and, it would be a major improvement over the use of methane ballast, which entails considerable initial capital investment in methane purification facilities. It is known in the field of ethylene epoxidation to introduce inert diluents into the reaction zone in order to obtain optimum reaction conditions and/or to avoid the presence of mixtures which are flammable under specific conditions employed. These diluents are called ballast gases or cycle gas diluents. The effectiveness of a number of gases as ballast components has been claimed. Ballast systems disclosed in the past have included methane, ethane, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and mixtures of two or more of these. Hydrocarbon ballast gases have a higher heat capacity and thermal conductivity than nitrogen; they facilitate a higher safe oxygen concentration in the cycle gas and assist in moderating the peak reaction temperature. The goal is a higher yield of ethylene oxide at a fixed productivity, or a higher productivity with the same reactor volume and space velocity. Desirable concentrations of ballast gases can be in the range of 30 to 90 mol % of the total feed gas mixture, depending on the explosive limits of the gas mixture employed. Disadvantages to the use of methane or ethane are hydrocarbon purification costs to eliminate sulfur and higher paraffinic hydrocarbons, loss of hydrocarbons through venting of argon and other materials that build up in the process, lower steam generation due to higher heat losses in cycle gas leaving the reactor, and possible safety concerns associated with vapor clouds as a result of rupture-disk failure or equipment damage. Ethane ballast has the additional disadvantage of requiring too much organic halide inhibitor to moderate the reaction; this can cause severe corrosion in the manufacturing unit and pollution problems. In U.S. Pat. No. 3,119,837 (Jan. 28, 1964) Shell Oil discloses a process wherein methane is used as the ballast gas and is added to the feed to the reaction zone in an amount sufficient to maintain a methane concentration of at least 15 mol %. A related Shell patent is German DE 1,254,137 (Jul. 8, 1968). In Belgian Patent 707,567 (Jun. 5, 1968) to Halcon International, similar benefits are claimed for the use of an ethane ballast. U.K. Patent GB 1,382,099 to Halcon (Jan. 29, 1975) discloses processes for ethylene oxidation using various mixed-gas ballasts containing primarily ethane and carbon dioxide. The concentration of ethane is maintained in the range of 10 to 70 vol %. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the reaction mixture is maintained at a level greater than 10% but not more than 70% by volume. U.K. Patent GB 1,191,983 to Societa Italiana Resine (May 13, 1970) discloses a process for preparing ethylene oxide by catalytic oxidation of ethylene with oxygen in the vapor phase at high temperature (250° to 320° C.) and 1 to 30 atm. pressure. Substantially pure ethylene and oxygen, separately or premixed without gaseous diluents, are introduced into the reactor. The ethylene constitutes more than 86% by volume of the gases entering the reactor. The oxygen comprises only about 4 to 6% of the feed gas. The examples demonstrate only a binary gas mixture; no inert "ballast" is used. Presumably some reaction products would eventually build up in such a system, and change the initial gas concentrations The operating temperatures of U.K. 1,191,983 are 40° to 60° C. above those which will be demonstrated as possible employing the improved process herein disclosed. The improvement in operating temperature, aside from the additional advantages, will indicate the instant invention is a superior process. E.P. Application 357,292 (Mar. 7, 1990) to ICI suggests that ethylene ballast could be used under a unique set of conditions in which a nitrogen oxide promoter is required. A process is disclosed in which ethylene oxide is produced by contacting a gas stream comprising ethylene and oxygen with a silver-containing catalyst, which is also contacted with a chlorine-containing reaction modifier and an oxide of nitrogen selected from NO2, N2 O4, NO, and N2 O3 by means of the gas stream, which may contain from 35 to 92% by volume of ethylene. In this process, the source of oxygen can be air, oxygen-enriched air, or oxygen from liquid air separation. A distinction between E.P.357,292 and the instant invention is that ICI claims that the nitrate or nitrite forming oxides of nitrogen are necessary to produce certain process improvements; the invention disclosed herein shows that no such oxide of nitrogen is necessary. To one not skilled in the art, it might seem obvious to use ethylene ballast in ethylene epoxidation. Ethylene has a high heat capacity, which suggests that it could be used with relatively high oxygen concentrations in a fuel-rich system without danger of ignition, provided that the mixture composition is well within the fuel-rich region of the flammability curve. Ethylene should also contribute to increased selectivity. Despite this analysis, there historically have been technical problems which have made ethylene ballasts impractical on a commercial scale. One of the biggest obstacles has been with respect to loss of ethylene by venting of impurities that build up in the cyclic process. Ethylene epoxidation can be accomplished by means of an air-based or oxygen-based process. In an air-based process, oxidation can be carried out by employing oxygen-nitrogen mixtures, preferably air. In the process, unreacted gases may be recycled to the reactor, but the extent of this recycle is limited by the necessity of removing excess nitrogen, which continuously increases as air is added to the oxidation reactor. When nitrogen is removed, an appreciable portion of the unreacted gases are lost with the nitrogen. In order to limit the loss of ethylene under these conditions, the withdrawn gases are mixed with air and passed through one or more additional oxidation reactors in the presence of the silver catalyst under rather drastic conditions; however, this appreciably increases the manufacturing costs. Another disadvantage is that an unsatisfactory rate of conversion is observed, even though fairly good selectivity can be demonstrated. In all reactors, as nitrogen is vented, some ethylene is lost through the vent as well. With the reactors employing older processes, including air-based processes, a large amount of nitrogen had to be vented and it was impossible not to lose a large amount of ethylene. Therefore, high concentrations of ethylene in the feed gas mixture were not practically feasible. In addition, there are major differences in purging between air-based and oxygen-based processes. The air-based process requires a substantial purge stream and a staged reaction-absorption system. With the oxygen-based system, there is a reduction in the amount of inert gases introduced into the closed cycle, resulting in almost complete recycle of the unconverted ethylene. However, carbon dioxide is formed and must be removed on a continuous basis. Process vents are also required to prevent accumulation of argon in the recycle gas. Argon is a major impurity in an oxygen supply derived from cryogenic separation of air components. In spite of this purge, the total vent stream in an oxygen-based process is much smaller than in an air-based unit. The operation of the main reactor in an oxygen-based process can be at much higher ethylene concentration than that possible in an air-based process. The small purge gas flows in an oxygen-based system operated with high-purity oxygen make it more feasible to use fuel-rich ballast systems rather than nitrogen. These diluents facilitate the use of higher oxygen concentrations in the recycle and, therefore, improved selectivity and productivity. With the more modern reactors or with modifications to the unit gas-venting system, it is now possible to reevaluate what feed gas mixtures could reasonably be used to promote optimal reaction conditions and improve catalyst performance. It is now more practical than in the past to use the cycle gas vents to selectively purge nitrogen and argon through the use of membrane separation, pressure-swing absorption, or a combination of both without losing significant amounts of the most expensive raw material, ethylene. It would represent a substantial advance in the art if it were possible to use a lower temperature in an ethylene epoxidation process. It would be a distinct commercial advantage if the requirement for methane ballast were reduced. It would represent an advance over the art if no oxides of nitrogen were necessary for such a process to be very effective. With the improved invention described herein, it is now possible to have the aforementioned advantages in a process which provides slightly higher selectivities as well. In accordance with the foregoing, the instant invention provides an improved process for the controlled silver-catalyzed oxidation of ethylene by reacting ethylene and oxygen over a modern silver-based catalyst at somewhat lower temperatures than typically employed in the art, in the presence of 2 to 5 ppm halide gas phase inhibitor and employing greater than 50 mol % to 90 mol % ethylene as both a ballast gas and as a reactant. The need for methane, which requires costly purification facilities, is substantially reduced, while essentially providing all the benefits ascribed to methane when used as the principal component of a ballast gas. FIG. 1 graphically illustrates the effects of feed ethylene concentration on operating temperature and the effects of feed ethylene concentration on catalyst selectivity. FIG. 2 graphically illustrates the effects of feed ethylene concentration on operating temperature and catalyst selectivity employing the facts of Example 2. This invention comprises a process for reacting ethylene and oxygen over a silver-based catalyst and about 2 to 50 ppm halide gas phase inhibitor at a temperature from about 200° to 300° C. and a pressure from about 200 to 300 psig using as a ballast gas about greater than 50 mol % to 90 mol % ethylene. As discussed above, there are a number of reasons why one of ordinary skill in the art would have previously viewed such a process as impractical. Factors such as, for example, loss of ethylene while venting nitrogen or argon, ethylene polymerization, contamination and other side reactions, as well as safety considerations. The present day, high-quality feed materials, advanced materials of construction, and improved cleaning/passivation procedures would all contribute to the success of this new art as an industrial process. Standard, industrial grade methane and ethylene may be used, preferably with pre-purification using sulfur guard beds that are well-known to those skilled in the art. Oxygen employed as reactant is preferably obtained from air using a suitable separation means, such as cryogenic distillation or pressure-swing absorption processes. The oxygen-containing feed gas suitably has an oxygen concentration of at least 5 mol %, and preferably from about 6 to 10 mol %. Particularly-preferred is a concentration from about 7 to 9 mol %. The amount of oxygen in the oxidation zone of the reactor may vary within the scope of the invention, but must not exceed the flammable limit. Diluent materials such as, for example, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, methane, etc. may be present in small amounts. Such diluents may be introduced into the system from outside, or may accumulate as a result of reaction processes in the reactor. These materials are normally allowed to recycle until they build up to unwanted proportions, then are vented. Carbon dioxide in particular is removed by absorption into a suitable absorbent material, then discharged from the process by manipulating pressure and/or temperature in a desorber vessel. It is critically important in this process to keep the non-hydrocarbon, non-reacting components at suitably low levels by venting or by absorption/ desorption processes so that the feed gas oxygen concentration is well outside the flammability range, but well inside the fuel-rich region. The amount of carbon dioxide in the reactor feed gas is desirably below about 10 mol %, preferably below about 6 mol %, and most preferably below about 4 mol %. The amounts of argon plus nitrogen are suitably below about 15 mol %, preferably below about 10 mol %, and most preferably below about 6 mol %. In processes that use molecular oxygen derived from cryogenic separation of air components, small amounts of argon are always present, and these accumulate with time to levels approaching about 15 mol %. It is extremely important in hydrocarbon ballast processes to keep the non-hydrocarbon components at low levels to avoid the presence of flammable mixtures, and to keep the feed oxygen concentration at the highest possible level to attain maximum unit productivity. Nitrogen is no longer an essential component of ethylene oxide ballast gas processes where operation is on the fuel-rich side of the explosive range. High carbon dioxide levels have been shown to be undesirable, in that they lower selectivity and increase the operating temperature required for a fixed ethylene oxide productivity. Carbon dioxide removal technology has improved to such a degree that it is now possible to keep levels at or below 4 mol % in the reactor recycle gas, by using hot carbonate absorbents containing activators to increase efficiency. Liquid-film membranes employing high-capacity amine absorbents, which retard amine entrainment into the cycle gas stream, may be used in conjunction with the instant invention. The disadvantages to having argon in an ethylene oxide manufacturing process have long been known [U.S. Pat. No. 3,083,213 to Shell Oil Company, Mar. 26, 1963]. It is now technically feasible to selectively remove argon impurities from the more expensive hydrocarbons, such as ethylene and methane, with semi-permeable organic or ceramic membranes. Accordingly, the cycle gas vent originally used to purge argon from the system can now be modified with selective membranes to concentrate and purge argon, while retaining a larger proportion of the more expensive hydrocarbons, particularly ethylene. Pressure-swing absorption under cryogenic conditions may also be employed to aid in concentrating and removing argon, while retaining hydrocarbons. Even though ethylene has a wider flammability range in air than does methane, its possible requirement for a lower inlet oxygen concentration than permitted with methane ballast may be compensated for by adding some ethylene and/or methane directly to the reactor outlet to further reduce the oxygen concentration at that point where a flammable condition is likely to develop. This step will then permit a corresponding increase in oxygen concentration at the reactor inlet. It is important to note that cleanliness must be maintained in an ethylene ballast system, particularly with respect to iron rust or iron compounds that could cause excessive polymerization or oxidation of ethylene or ethylene oxide. Catalysts employed in the process of the invention comprise any of the silver metal-containing catalysts disclosed in the art capable of catalyzing the controlled oxidation of ethylene with molecular oxygen to ethylene oxide. These comprise the catalysts consisting essentially of silver metal upon a suitable support. Suitable supports include, for example, any of the siliceous and aluminous support materials. Particularly suitable catalysts are those consisting essentially of silver metal and promoters on low surface area supports containing alpha alumina along with minor proportions of silica, silicon carbide, and other refractory materials. However, the present invention should not be considered limited to the use of any specific silver metal-containing catalyst Halide compounds are used in many ethylene oxide processes as gas phase inhibitors to suppress the undesirable oxidation of ethylene to carbon dioxide and water, although not significantly altering the main reaction to ethylene oxide. The inhibitor is usually an alkyl or alkylene halide, such as ethyl chloride or ethylene dichloride. Other organic halides can be used as well. A considerable amount of inhibitor is required for ethane ballast, and for any ballast process where the ethylene contains a substantial amount of ethane or light paraffinic hydrocarbons other than methane. Ethyl chloride was employed in the instant process. In the instant process, good results were obtained using two to three times the typical amounts of halide required for a methane ballast. A desired concentration was about 2 to 50 ppm, whereas a preferred concentration was about 2 to 20 ppm. The process of the invention is executed with a relatively high concentration of ethylene ballast in the total charge to the reaction zone. Ethylene may constitute, for example, from about 30 to 90 mol % of the feed to the oxidation zone. A concentration of ethylene in the reactor feed of from 51 mol % to 90 mol % is preferred, and 55 to 85 mol % is particularly preferred. The data in Table III demonstrates, not only good selectivity, but the possibility of obtaining good conversion and selectivity using a lower operating temperature when employing about 60 mol % to 80 mol % ethylene. The examples demonstrate the best selectivity at a lower operating temperature when employing about 75 mol % ethylene. Higher or lower ethylene concentrations may, however, be used within the scope of the invention. Maintaining a specifically desired ethylene concentration is facilitated by controlled addition of some methane as a ballast adjustment, up to about 40 mol % of the gas feed and by control of the amount of materials such as, for example, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, argon, etc. recycled from within the system. In any case a lower mol % of methane would be employed, corresponding to the goal of reducing the necessity of methane purification. The temperature is suitably in the range of about 150° to 350° C., preferably about 200° to 300° C., and most preferably about 220° to 260° C. The examples demonstrate temperatures between about 215° C. and 240° C. The pressure is suitably in the range from about 100 to 400 psig, and preferably from about 200 to 300 psig. The space velocity is chosen according to how much production is desired, and is preferably in the range of about 2000 to 8000 volumes (or weight) of gas per volume (or weight) of catalyst per hour. These ranges of conditions are those most typically used in current commercial production of ethylene oxide. In the examples that follow, the use of an ethylene ballast was demonstrated to provide good results and allow efficient catalyst performance in terms of both selectivity and operating temperature. No ethylene polymerization was observed. No abnormal aldehyde level was observed. It did not appear that the high ethylene concentrations resulted in any significant side reactions. The test equipment used in the examples below were tubular, stainless-steel reactors designed to operate with seven grams of catalyst as whole pellets in an isothermal system. The gas mixtures were metered and blended using thermal mass flow controllers. The reactor feed and effluent streams were analyzed using a quadrupole process mass spectrometer. Catalyst selectivities to ethylene oxide were calculated from two averaged selectivities; one based on carbon dioxide and ethylene oxide, and the other on oxygen and ethylene oxide. It is understood that the following examples are intended only to be illustrative and are not meant to limit the invention in any way. Catalyst A was a typical, modern silver-based catalyst for the epoxidation of ethylene. The feed streams consisted of 30-75% ethylene, 8% oxygen, 6% carbon dioxide, 1-3% argon, 2-6 ppm ethyl chloride, and balance methane. The feed flow rate was slightly greater than 300 sccm and reactor pressure was 250 psig. Production of ethylene oxide was kept constant at 2.0% in the effluent stream. The effects of feed ethylene on operating temperature and catalyst selectivity are seen in FIG. 1. As an example, the hourly averaged data points are shown for 75% ethylene in Table I. This data was used in part to calculate overall averages in Table II, which gives an overall average data point for periods shown in FIG. 1. The best results with respect to selectivity and operating temperature were observed using about 75 mol % ethylene (See Table II).

The feed streams consisted of 30-75% ethylene, 8% oxygen, 6% carbon dioxide, 1-3% argon, 3-7 ppm ethyl chloride, and balance methane. The feed flow rate was slightly greater than 300 sccm and reactor pressure was 250 psig. Production of ethylene oxide was kept constant at 2.0% in the effluent stream. The effects of feed ethylene on operating temperature and catalyst selectivity are seen in FIG. 2. The data from this graph was used to calculate the overall averages given in Table III. The best results were respect to selectivity and operating temperature were observed using about 60-75 mol % ethylene (See Table III).

When the average selectivities and operating temperatures are compared between a methane ballast containing 30% ethylene, and an ethylene ballast containing 75% ethylene, it is seen from Tables I and II above that the larger ethylene ballast offers slight improvements in selectivity and significant improvements in operating temperature. The increases in selectivities are not altogether unexpected, since more of the reactant was present; however, the significant decreases in operating temperatures, about 7° for Catalyst A and 11° for catalyst B, suggest that use of ethylene ballast, when compared with methane or nitrogen ballasts, could extend the useful lifetime of a catalyst. Also, it should be noted from the above Tables I and II that even levels of 45% and 60% ethylene in the feed result in improved catalyst performance when compared with the typical methane ballast conditions.

Trading in preowned vessels continues to be a popular choice for many customers. Damen Trading facilitates the sale and purchase of both Damen and third-party vessels. Recent deals highlight how trading in vessels results in a win-win situation for buyer and seller. Under these arrangements vessels have been sold in Australia and bought by clients in Uruguay, U.K. vessels have gone to Zanzibar, Colombian vessels to Jamaica, with customers worldwide seeing the benefits of trading in. This summer a client based in the Middle East purchased two Damen 26 m Shoalbusters and decided to take advantage of trading in opportunities by selling two of its Multicats 1908 and a Fast Crew Supplier. Australia Damen carried out the inspections and refurbishment of the three vessels at its partner yard, Albwardy Marine in Dubai. The two Multicats were destined for an Australian client so it was vital that the hulls were sandblasted and repainted to comply with the country's strict environmental regulations. Damen also handled the transport to Australia. Kazakhstan The FCS was sold on to a client in Kazakhstan. Here, Damen carried out changes to the seating arrangement, reducing the number of seats from 75 to 60, as well as making the required adjustments to the heating and air conditioning system. Michel Radjiman, Damen Trading's Sales Manager, said, "Damen has yards all over the world, so we can carry out any refurbishment or repairs needed and all near to Damen Trading's clients." Nigeria In other trade-in deals, Damen Trading has sold vessels on behalf of the U.K. Customs Authority, with vessels being sold on to clients in Nigeria and Zanzibar. Offshore Wind Furthermore it has handled vessel exchanges for several customers active in the offshore wind industry. Often these customers want to upgrade from non-Damen vessels to the pioneering Damen Twin Axe FCS 2610, a vessel fast becoming the offshore wind industry standard. U.K. Damen Trading also facilitates customers that have a change in their fleet requirements, although they may still want to keep the same vessel type. In another recent example, a customer wanted to trade a Damen Stan Tug 1606 for one of the same type. The first Stan Tug had an exhaust at the stern and no A-frame but the new 1606 vessel has funnels and an A-frame. The original vessel was then sold to a customer operating on the River Thames in London. Damen Trading Delivers Several Vessels Damen Trading, official dealer: sale and purchase of preowned (Damen) vessels, a trade in its own right A global position in shipbuilding also includes the Sale and Purchase of pre-owned ships. At Damen Shipyards Group this is the domain of Damen Trading. "Knowing the vessel, as often we've built it ourselves, gives us the unique position to best assess its operational condition, value and quality assurance towards its future owner." Sale and purchase of preowned vessels is the core business of Damen Trading. Located in Damen's Dutch head office, this business unit operates worldwide. Although Damen-built vessels dominate its portfolio –guaranteeing product expertise– Damen Trading also trades other makes. "Our fixtures include both vessels that are traded-in as part of a newbuilding contract with a Damen-yard, and non-orderrelated transactions. Here, we'll act as brokers only", Michel Radjiman, Damen Trading's Sales Manager notes. Buy-back In terms of ship types, Damen Trading focuses on Sale & Purchase of vessels from Damen Shipyards' various standard design ranges encompassing tugs, dredging and offshore vessels, like Multicats, Shoalbusters, (high speed) crew boats and other auxiliary craft. Equally, non-Damenbuilt vessels mostly involve ships from these sectors. "We continue to establish how Damen-built vessels will on average land a higher market price, both in contracted project assignments and on the second hand market. Having worldwide acquaintance with our standard types apparently does yield an additional asset, indeed. And thanks to our 'official dealer' position we're able to realize a higher revenue for a Damen-built vessel than any other broker," Radjiman added. He refers to the company's distinctive, multiple USPs that includes having built and even designed the vessel, the group's scale economies and its global presence and operations. Damen Trading does not only buy/sell vessels that are traded-in, or act as brokers for other second hand ones on sale. Radjiman said, "We also issue vessel or entire fleet valuations for our customers." In sight Damen Trading was established in 1985 as a spin-off of Damen Marine Services, the group's ship-rental subsidiary. From seeking buyers for the occasional tug or workboat having come off-hire, the new business unit gradually evolved towards its current trading/brokerage volume of an average twenty vessels per year. There's no stereotype customer profile or pattern. Next to the trading-in/newbuilding order scenario, a company may seek a pre-owned vessel and end-up ordering a new one instead. The other way around, a company that initially sought a newbuilt, may buy a used vessel, especially when delivery time is critical. In such events, adding to its USP, Damen Trading will usually have a suitable, first owner vessel in portfolio or in sight from the vast fleet of Damen vessels around. damentrading.com

- Put your chosen dried fruit mixture into a large bowl with your choice of alcohol or tea, citrus zest and juice. Mix well, cover and leave overnight.
- Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Butter and double-line a deep cake tin – 20cm round or 18cm square – with enough baking parchment to come about 2.5cm above the top of the tin. Wrap the outside of the tin with a few sheets of newspaper, securing with staples or string.
- Beat the butter, sugar and vanilla until creamy, then beat in the eggs one by one. Tip in the flour, mixed spice, soaked dried fruit and any liquid from the bowl, plus your chosen nuts, if using. Stir everything together, then scrape into the cake tin. Using the back of your spoon, make a slight dent in the centre of the mixture, then bake for 1½ hrs.
- Reduce oven to 140C/120C fan/gas 1, loosely cover the top of the cake with a double sheet of foil or baking parchment, and bake for another 45 mins-1 hr or until a skewer poked right to the bottom comes out clean. Cool in the tin, then lift out and wrap in greaseproof paper or baking parchment. Keep in a cake tin with a tight-fitting lid, or wrapped in a large sheet of foil, in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months. Open the cake every week or two to feed by poking with a skewer in several places and dribbling over a little more of your chosen alcohol or tea.

Comments, questions and tips
Unwrapped mine for the first feed lastnight, and the aromas of Christmas filled the kitchen, absoloutley wonderful. I forgot to say before that I ommitted some of the tea to a drop of brandy when soaking and the mix of the two seems to off done the trick. wonderfully moist and wont need much feeding i think either. Cant wait for Christmas so I try it!
As the other comments have said, the suggested cooking time for this cake was waaaay out;it took me over 3 hours before the skewer test could be passed.
I am going to store it and feed it with brandy until christmas so I can't comment on the taste yet, but I'm sure it'll be fine, all the traditional flavours are there so i'm sure it'll be lovely.
This cake smelt amazing from the word go. Soaking in the kitchen and the aromas filled the house with smells of Christmas. Wrapping the tin was easy, referred back to my old friend Delia! She never lets me down. However the Cake took and extra hour in the oven. ( I cooked it on conventional mode) but the cake smelt great whilst cooking and turned lovely and moist, all wrapped up now ready for first feed next week. Roll on Crimbo.

Sources: LHP Henry Owens promoted to Triple-A Pawtucket |
08.01.14 at 10:37 am ET |
Friday has quickly turned into a milestone day for two of the Red Sox' top pitching prospects.
With Anthony Ranaudo set to make his major league debut against the Yankees, the Sox are promoting left-hander Henry Owens to Triple-A Pawtucket, according to multiple industry sources.
Ranked No. 2 by Baseball America on the team's prospect list in December, Owens has been impressive for Double-A Portland this season. The 22-year-old is 14-4 with a 2.60 ERA in 20 starts, throwing three complete games and two shutouts in the process. Owens has 126 strikeouts to 47 walks with a WHIP of 1.124, and is second on the Sea Dogs with 121 innings pitched.
The 6-foot-7, 200-pound California native was drafted out of high school by the Sox in 2011 in the supplemental first round. He's in his third year in the Red Sox' minor league system after starting out in Greenville in 2012.

Stop the press, Womack is back -- 8.12.2008 P.M. edition
Posted by Danny O'Neil
Floyd Womack was on the field Tuesday morning, participating in individual drills though he wasn't wearing his helmet and no pads. Well, he was back on the field in the afternoon this time his dome protected with a helmet and taking part in all drills. No pads, though. But then again, the afternoons have been unpadded practices.
Kyle Williams remains working out with the second-unit offensive line.

Another cruel twist, Bernard limps off -- 8.12.2008, A.M. edition
Posted by Danny O'Neil
Rocky Bernard went down toward the end of Tuesday's morning practice after appearing to injure his right ankle. He was helped off the field, then sat down and was evaluated. As injuries go, it might not be quite that extreme, though. He was putting weight on the ankle and his limp lessened as time passed.
But that further depletes a position in which the Seahawks released Marcus Tubbs and still haven't gotten Larry Tripplett back at practice.
Tubbs' open roster spot has been filled by Nick Jones, an offensive linemen.
Michael Bumpus made a pair of impressive catches in the seven-on-seven passing portion of practice. One was a diving grab behind D.D. Lewis that was especially impressive. The coaches like the way Bumpus competes, and he plays in the mold of a slot receiver who's shifty and sure-handed whereas Jordan Kent is tall, fast and his long strides make him a split end.
Logan Payne made a diving catch behind linebacker Leroy Hill. Payne is wearing a red jersey to denote non-contact as he recovers from broken rib, but the man still was willing to lay out for a reception.
The other reception worth noting was by John Carlson, who made a diving catch behind Hill in seven-on-seven drills.

Very nice video. Keep them coming, DPR!
jonmcguffinphoto: It never ceases to amaze me the ignorance of modern day digital photographers and their insistence that not using photoshop somehow makes them a "pure" photographer as this is simply a misguided assumption.
All digital files are processed! You are either doing it yourself with tools such as Lightroom, Photoshop, or others or you are allowing the Engineers at Canon/Nikon to be your post processor by running your image through their jpg processing engine and spitting out what "it" thinks is the best way to present the image.
To imply that there is anything truly "straight out of camera" is really absurd and does nothing but show their ignorance of the photographic process in a digital world.
Don't break your arm getting down off your high horse.
This same question can be asked regarding computers and cell phones. We tend to objectify these things and lose sight of their (basically) utilitarian nature.

Writer: Amos
Date:Monday September 20 2010
Time: 9:23AM
Arsenal ticket scheme members may receive the annual pack which is usually a decent collection of Arsenal artefacts, dvds, giveaways, yearbooks and the like. This season the pack included an edition of Eddie Hapgood`s autobiography. 'Happy` Hapgood was captain and full back star of Chapman`s all conquering pre-war Arsenal side. The autobiography is a fairly rudimentary account of his career for Arsenal and England written in 1945 at a time when he`d set the record for most England caps. Anyone born when Hapgood produced his work would now be qualifying for their state pension.
As historical record it`s an entertaining enough read but maybe what strikes the reader most is how much pain players had to accept for their sport and how proudly they wore their battle scars. These were times without substitutes so broken noses, distressed muscles and damaged limbs might get you moved to a safer area of the pitch but you`d rarely leave it, other than temporarily, if you could stand. As much as you can admire their endurance, bravery, their toughness no real supporter would want to return to those days of laced footballs and industrial boots.
Much else has changed about football since those times which, despite the natural appeal of nostalgia, has been to the good of the game. Substitutes are now allowed - three of them, the same number of points as you can now earn for a win. Changes in the laws restrict the handling of backpasses and complicate the understanding of the offside rule and the abolition of the minimum wage eventually led to some players becoming multi-millionaires in their teens. But among the biggest of changes are changes in the players themselves and the conditions under which they play the game.
You needn`t go back as far as Hapgood`s time to appreciate the differences in playing conditions. A number of old voices, Redknapp, Allardyce, Coyle and Moyes among them have recently invoked the 60`s and 70`s as a benchmark by which to consider today`s tackling issues. Tackles then were often made on muddy, sodden pitches at a pace that allows them to be examined without today`s slo-mo replays. Much of what was done 30 or 40 years ago you could see coming.
It wasn`t just pitches that made tackling less dangerous players themselves were much slower. British researchers looked at games played in the old first division in 1976 and found that the average player covered a distance of 8 to 11 kilometres a game, 25% of which was spent walking and 11% in sprints. Modern premiership players will cover 50% more distance with an average of 11 to 14 kilometres a game while the number of sprints in a game has more than doubled. The modern footballer is fitter and runs much further, for much longer and much faster than his 1970`s counterparts. It probably isn`t possible for a midfielder of the current era to feel contentment with the sobriquet 'Stroller`. Still the physical demands increase each year and it`s clear that the game is getting faster and more physically intense - dramatically so compared to 30 or 40 years ago. The speed and power of the game now means that bad tackles will cause more damage than they did in the past.
When conditions change in other spheres then we expect to have to adjust behaviour accordingly. As more traffic with better engineered vehicles and motorways produced greater power and acceleration and greater average distances travelled cars were fitted with seatbelts and motorcyclists compelled to wear helmets. Similarly, in almost any profession if accidents occurred repeatedly you`d be obliged to look at them, the changed conditions under which they occur, and adjust your behaviour or conditions to bring about a reduction. Most employees, their families, friends, bosses and professional organisations would insist that is done. There`d be media outrage if it didn`t happen. You certainly wouldn`t be permitted to deflect any inclination for action by saying that it was pretty bad 40 years ago too. So why do we expect football to live in a bubble that seeks to exclude it from the simple common sense we apply elsewhere? 'It`s a contact sport - what do you expect?` is no more valid an observation than that cars are still made of metal.
The laws of the game are clear. You cannot tackle in a manner that is careless, reckless or uses excessive force. There's no need to change any laws but there is a need to ensure that they are interpreted to the standards and needs of the modern game and not those that prevailed decades ago. What prevents that from happening? Who is scared of bringing about change that could only benefit the game? Many of the answers can be heard in those old voices locked in the past.
If we can see and applaud improvements in players' technical ability to perform feats of skill at high speed why wouldn't we want that to include their tackling skills? What's wrong with thinking about the purpose of tackling and even redefining it in coaching terms if that's what it takes to make it more relevant to the objectives of the modern game? The ideal should be for a tackle to regain possession of the ball - or as a last resort in the final third an endeavour to clear your lines to avert a threat to your goal. But ugly, careless or reckless lunges, too often with force disproportionate to the aim of winning possession, are made in areas of the pitch in which they can serve no purpose other than to stop the game - and maybe bring a player down. It's a blight on the modern game in its faster and more athletic form and perverse when those similarly conservative voices object to the introduction of video technology on the basis of its potential impact on the free flowing game. In a good tackle there is a desire to win possession not simply to clear the ball. Many tacklers will tackle with absolutely no idea where the ball will end up - but a fairly good idea of where the player will. A good tackler should be looking to win the ball and has the next pass or movement in mind when he does so.
Those old voices seem to feel the only choice to be made is between tackling and not tackling - not one between good tackling and bad tackling. There`s no need to outlaw or abandon tackling it just needs to be appreciated and refined as a skill set relevant in the modern age of football. There`s nothing tremendously difficult about it. It can be done easily enough if the understanding is there and taught and appreciated as an improvement in technique every bit as valuable as any other football technique.
If referees were to enforce the existing rules by defining the criteria of carelessness and recklessness in the context of today`s game and not that of decades past then the need to coach players in the art of the good tackle will become more urgent. Those old voices can only speak of times gone by. We need some new, younger voices to encourage the game to understand and look forward to the needs of the future. At present there are too few of them making themselves heard.
