## (July 2012) ## To all Twenty Twelve fans who have arrived here from the BBC website: firstly "hello" and secondly yes, I am an amateur blogger but please don't click away just yet. Please let me quickly explain why you have been sent here in the first place, and then feel free to leave (I'm not trying to sell you anything, honest).
You've been directed to my site because back in April I took the photos below and made a reference to Twenty Twelve in my blog (also below) which you as a faithful fan of the series will understand why. The Beeb's social network arm Buzz by chance picked up on this and added my link to the page you've just come from. I do understand if you want to click off again but if you are slightly curious, I am a Londoner struggling to get around town at the moment for obvious reasons and I blog & tweet about the more humorous side of the preparations I see about the city, of London in general (have you seen any BTArtBoxes yet? They're bizarrely brilliant), and the odd amusing tale from my travels in Europe. There are no ads here and I'm not trying to sell you anything, but I'd be honoured if you had a quick look at some of my other blogs (the writing and photos do get better). If however you are hovering on the back arrow, then I bid you farewell. Enjoy the rest of the series. TLT x
I passed a branch of a well known photography shop in Central London today who, to my utter glee had dressed their window in preparation for this Summer's Jubilee and Olympic Games.
The fact however that the display area in the window was slightly limited did not deter this branch from deciding which event would take precedence. Why have two separate displays fighting for attention, when you can combine them into one great big one:
… or maybe the manager has been watching Twenty Twelve on BBC2 recently.
Remembering the 1908 London Olympics (and hoping to catch a glimpse of One Show presenters Alex Jones and Matt Baker in the process)

Rooftop Party Envelope Seals Quality product, came earlier than anticipated even over a holiday weejend
Perfect way to seal the invitation
Classic Love Envelope Seals My fiancé and I were looking for an inexpensive and easy way to seal our invitations. Since we had our invitations in an enclosure it was difficult to find an inexpensive way to complete the look. It was really easy to design this sticker. When I got them I thought the color was slightly lighter than the way it was shown on the website. However, it still fit our theme and I was extremely happy with the look. The stickers were easy to put on our enclosure. I'm really happy I decided to use this stickers. I can't imagine the invitations without them!
Perfect size!
Be Merry Envelope Seals Labels are perfect size to cover the blue circle on the small York Peppermint Pattie, that we are using as wedding rehearsal dinner favors. We really love them!! UPS however did not do such a great job delivering them, as the envelope was crumpled and appeared to have been damp, causing damage to the labels inside.
Great Product. Beautiful seals!
Classic Love Envelope Seals I absolutely love the seals that I ordered. Very simple yet elegant!
A perfect finishing touch
Pristine Beauty Envelope Seals These seals were the perfect finishing touch to our wedding invitations. Being able to personalize the colour and size and shape to match our invitations was a big bonus. They make our invitations feel complete and professional!

CNN) - Too-early solid food could lead to problems for babies.
At least 40% of moms are feeding their infants solid foods far too early, according a new study published in the medical journal Pediatrics, and that may lead to problems for their children later in life.
Researchers wanted to know how many babies were being fed solid foods (including cereal and baby food) sooner than recommended, whether breast-feeding or formula feeding made a difference and why solids were being introduced early.
When the study began in 2005, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), which also publishes the journal Pediatrics, recommended introducing solid foods when babies were between 4 and 6 months old.
In 2012, the AAP changed those recommendations. Now it says babies shouldn't be eating solid food until they are about 6 months old.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic program but not without its quirks,
By SMXSteve (Seattle) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Learn French: Rosetta Stone French - Level 1-5 Set (CD-ROM)
Vine Customer Review of Free Product (What's this?)
Rosetta Stone Totale French
Once you get the application installed and working, it is a lot of fun. I actually look forward to learning the language. It gives no English interpretation but shows an image with each phrase. They call it Dynamic Immersion. You hear, see, say and even type the phrase. The program goes over learned material and also breaks down pronunciations. It's colorful and not only fun to use but to look at as well. It is a fantastic program but not without its quirks. Problem 1 - license agreement. We rarely read license agreements but I have started to look them over. This is one that I was tempted to decline - too many lawyers got into this one. Stuff like you don't own it, this is a license to use, etc. Because of the license agreement I was hesitant to signup for the online features for fear I am walking into additional charges I will have trouble getting out of. But I did and will definitely update if that happens. Installation Installation went ok on my desktop (Windows 7) except for the headset. First thing starting the application it asks to setup the microphone but the headset wasn't listed. I tried support (see below). The instructions say to plug in the headset prior to installation. But after unplugging and reconnecting the headset after installation my computer found it. But then you have to go to your sound settings on the Control Panel and set it to default in order for this application to use it- every single time. They should have taken care of that step programmatically. Installation on a Netbook My netbook (with Windows XP) doesn't have a CD player. With all other applications I put the CD (or DVD) into my desktop and connect to it. But it didn't' work with this installation. I happened to have a CD player that I can connect via USB and that worked fine. As with my desktop I always have to choose the headset in Control Panel every single time. Support For support I tried the online chat. But it turns out support isn't familiar with Totale yet. The Knowledge Base was also lacking information on this particular version. Being a computer guy I was able to get everything working but still you should be able to install an application and run it with little difficulty, especially in this price range. Getting Started This is where the program really fails. While the screen is colorful and pretty nothing tells you what to do, what it's about, or how it works. There are tiny little icons on the upper right of the screen where you can eventually find this information. But when you start an application you should be guided right away. There is an arrow to continue but it took several screens before I was beginning to understand how to use this application. Connecting online was worse. It kept asking me to signup so I finally did. But then it says I can't use it until certain things are completed. After looking at the online screens I later received an email that said I was scheduled to do something online which I had no idea what it was or why. When I clicked on the link it took me to a system check to tell me my speech recognition doesn't work and to download the update. Nothing about schedules but of course my headset worked. Then the next day I received an email saying they were sorry they missed me. So many discs With this version there are six application and language CDs and about 20 audio CDs. It would really help to include a DVD with everything on it and a install to copy all the audio so that it can easily be played on an mp3 player or ipod. Problems Ripping Audio for MP3 Player I used Windows Media Player (Windows 7) to rip the CDs to mp3s. Because there are so many I was just swapping discs when they were complete. Turns out some were overwritten and naming was not consistent making for a disaster figuring out what was transferred. I don't know where the fault lies but they better get with Microsoft to clear this up. Adding Languages/Levels This is one of the better features. All you need is the additional language/level disc (and activation code) and it adds it in a couple of clicks. But when using a computer like a netbook without a CD it currently will not work over the network. Voice Recognition This is a fantastic feature to be able to say the phrase and have the computer verify it. However, it is far from perfect and isn't that precise. It works about 95% of the time but occasionally I have trouble getting it to recognize what I said. And sometimes I wonder if what I said really was correct. Performance This is not something you will load up quickly and start using. It takes a long while to get into the application. Once into the lesson it can take a long time to get back to the home page. There is no hour glass or any indicator so if you try to quit sometimes Windows will come up and tell you the application is not responding and ask if you want to kill it. But if you wait a while it returns and you can close the application. Navigation It is very difficult to get around the lessons for instance if you want to start over or just go to a specific section. It tries to be intuitive and constantly asks if you want to continue where you left off even if you chose to reset everything. And sometimes it doesn't get that correct. Scoring It keeps score through your lessons. I have no idea why because you always have to choose the correct choice. And sometimes they are simply accidental clicks. The score really gives me no clue as to how I am doing. What tells me how I am doing is what I remember which is why I like to restart and go through it again. Conclusion Once you get by the quirks this application makes learning a lot of fun. I look forward to learning a new language using this application. I think the process works even though you don't get the English translation. Online it says you can legally install it on two computers. While that is a convenience, I do prefer using it on my netbook so I can use it just about anywhere. For what it is supposed to do - teach you a language, I think it is a great application and for that I would give it 5 stars. But for the price it should no way have so many issues. I only deducted one star as I can work around the issues. Others may find them more annoying than I did.

Rosetta Stone vs. Fluenz (French),
This review is from: Learn French: Rosetta Stone French - Level 1-5 Set (CD-ROM)
Vine Customer Review of Free Product (What's this?)
Rosetta Stone vs. Fluenz Version F2: French 1 (Win/Mac) with software DVD, audio CD, podcasts, and Navigator. Learn French with the latest upgrade.
I've now used them both extensively and honestly don't have a preference - it'll be down to your learning style and your needs. Rosetta Stone: + Intuitive learning structure. + Interactive and visually oriented. - Does not explain why grammar rules do what they do. - Is finicky about multiple computer usage. Fluenz + Simulates one-on-one instruction. + Explains why grammar rules do what they do. - Not as intuitive of a learning structure. - Not as visually oriented. + Is not finicky about multiple computer usage. If you: * Want to learn the basics of the language fairly quickly for a trip, or have a solid foundation for adult conversation or travel practicalities. * Always want to know the "why" behind things. Choose Fluenz. If you: * Want to learn a language at a slower pace to create a foundation for fluency and are not in a hurry to ask how to buy a train ticket or order something in a coffee shop. * Are buying this for a child. * Are visually oriented Choose Rosetta Stone If you: * Want to have a solid foundation for future fluency. * Have the money to drop. Buy both and use them simultaneously.

Be wary before investing in this system!,
This review is from: Learn French: Rosetta Stone French - Level 1-5 Set (CD-ROM)
Think twice before investing a lot of money in these systems. You can only install it twice, then it shuts you down. My hard drive crashed, then weeks later my computer. I try to put it on my new laptop, and it won't let me. So technically my $600 is then wasted. Great system, huh?
I call them up and have spent hours pleading my case. They told me that because I bought it through an amazon vendor, it's a pirated copy. Nowhere on their website or any of their advertising do they caution you about this. I told them they were punishing me for buying something for $600 in good faith. I spent 3 hours talking to different people about this, being dismissed repeatedly. Their customer service is absolutely terrible. In short, be very very wary before you get into the same situation I did. Computers and laptops are never reliable for long. Two strikes, then you have to trust that they'll honor your large cash outlay, and let you continue to use something you've paid a lot of money for! I am totally disillusioned with this very bad company. I told the customer "help"line that because of their attitude, I would tell everyone I could and warn them about this situation. They said they didn't care. So here I am, warning all of you good people out there. Go with a different language learning company who actually values their purchasers.

Needs Serious Improvement,
By OCD Foodie (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Learn French: Rosetta Stone French - Level 1-5 Set (CD-ROM)
In my opinion, the most important part of learning a language is communicating with another person. The TOTALe online component was great for this in that you could set up two 50 minute sessions in advance, but they had to be in two different levels. Now, unfortunately, the two session limit remains while the sessions have been cut to only 25 minutes. While I like 50 minutes and I can see others only being able to fit in 25 minutes it would be best if Rosetta Stone allowed 4 sessions and two consecutive in the same level. After calling their support line I got connected to India where I was transferred 4 times with a lot of hold time for the representative to tell me that they've essentially cut back therefore further limiting their customers after we've paid and committed to a TOTALe subscription.
The software is okay, but you really need supplement material for French in particular and the ad-libbing of a live teacher that the 50 minute sessions offered some help in that department. To that point most adults do better when they learn the rules of the language and French has many. The use of many prepositions, liaisons, enchainment, etc. are important parts of the French language. Without knowing any rules and being left to figure them out on your own is a little like being a caveman who sees fire for the first time and trying to recreate one yourself in another location - good luck to you. If you have language learning experience you might be able to catch these things and then reference a grammar source of some kind, but I believe that rules make it easier for adults to take command of a language and just giving examples of grammar does not work for French. There are many people that felt Rosetta Stone was insufficient on its own. Here are just a couple of examples that RS French needs better grammar lessons: http://www.amazon.com/review/R34TO3WKLD972/ref=cm_cr_rdp_perm http://www.amazon.com/review/R1WWB1JEY48WFH/ref=cm_cr_pr_perm?ie=UTF8&ASIN=0307478432&linkCode=&nodeID=&tag= In conclusion, the two-star rating is due to the cost to value ratio. If the price were lower and the marketing wasn't "all you need in one package" I would likely revise. UPDATE: Rosetta Stone now limits you to two 25 minute sessions per month with your subscription. It's insulting after all the money you spend to buy their software! Now that I've finished working through Rosetta Stone French completely, I invited anyone to comment with questions and I'll do my best to answer them. Also, I recently posted the following review on another website: I own three complete Rosetta Stone programs and have worked through all of them with various problems and have some feedback. Rosetta Stone is not great for many reasons including: 1. It's far more expensive than other methods that are are more effective 2. The software and its license itself become a technical and management issue for many (just ask someone who has had a computer crash and needed to talk to India to re-instate their license). 3. Children learn by immersion better, while adults have more complex brains. Translation and LOTS of supplementary material is needed. 4. After a bit it's BORING due to the lack of any personality the program has (no character to follow, no human investment). Other programs are much more fun and add humor. 5. You need to SPEAK to a native speaker regularly to make progress. Speaking to a machine or to Rosetta Stone's instructors for 25 minutes per month won't do you any good. And woe to the person who has connection problems or if Rosetta Stone has technical problems - which they have ofter. 6. The marketing makes it look as if your success will require little from you except for sitting down and working through the program. I could not disagree more - it's hard work and takes effort and dedication. 7. Writing and building a language reflex (speaking) are lacking enough to require a good deal more of supplementary material. 8. When you do have the Rosetta instructors, they barely correct your mistakes leading to bad grammatical habits. Grammar instruction is necessary. Most languages have very different structures from one another. Even languages such as French and Spanish are different and you really need to rely on someone to tell you your mistakes. That's how we all improve. Imagine going through grades K-12 and having no one to correct your mistakes. It would be as if we all graduated from Los Angeles Unified public schools (yes, I mean to be snarky!) I won't name other programs in this post since my intention is not to promote any particular product, but look for dual language (English-French for example) conversational approaches that will walk you through natural and semi-complete dialogues with grammar points.

too many problems to get this product,
By spatin (Colorado) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Learn French: Rosetta Stone French - Level 1-5 Set (CD-ROM)
One of the things that Rosetta Stone fails to tell the buyer is that the online services only last for three months. After that the user has to buy additional months. The current rate (from my discussion with Rosetta Stone today) is $20 a month or $50 for 3 months, you pay less the more months you purchase. The online services only works for one person. If you have another user on the program (spouse, child, whatever) that person has to buy his/her own online services. Without the online services, the program seems to be pretty much useless and no better than some of the free programs online.
So it is not just the $479.00 purchase price. It is that price plus the online service charges. That could add up to an awful lot of money to get through all of the five modules - unless you can get through them in 3 months, which is highly unlikely. Not worth the cost, in my opinion, and I don't like the way they hid the fact that the online services are extra. The manufacturer commented on this review(What's this?) Posted on

Rosetta Success says:
Hello Spatin and B'LynnK, When you purchase any Rosetta Stone Version 4 (CD-ROM) product, your program comes with 3 free months of online services for one person. These three months are included as a trial, and when those 3 months expire, you can then choose to purchase additional months of online services. Once these 3 months expire, you will still have access to Rosetta Course, which is the cornerstone of your language-learning experience with Rosetta Stone. Rosetta Course includes all of the lessons that teach you your new language: Core Lessons, Vocabulary, Speaking, Listening, Reading, Writing, Pronunciation and Review lessons, as well as a Milestone at the end of each Unit. You will still have access to the speech recognition function in the lessons. You can also continue to use the Audio Companion MP3s to review your lessons when you're away from the computer. We do recommend that you continue with the online services, since they greatly enhance your language-learning experience. The online services allow you to access: Rosetta Studio: 50 minute sessions with a native speaker of the language you're learning at the end of each session. These sessions allow you to review what you've already learned, practice your conversational skills, and learn a few new words along the way! And the best part about these sessions is that they are unlimited- you can take as many Studio sessions as you'd like! Rosetta World: A collection of language games and stories to help you develop different skills in your new language. You will also have the opportunity to interact with our growing community of language learners in Duo and Simbio games. iPhone and iPad apps: These apps allow you to review your language-learning lessons (Rosetta Course) while you're on the go. Please also note that the online services can only be purchased for learners who are 13 years of age and older. I hope this helps, and please don't hesitate to contact us at (866) 834-6115 with any further questions!

Dear Rosetta Stone -
I am not surprised that when I click the link to give you feedback (which you asked for) that the link goes to a blank page - no where! I spent all day yesterday on the phone and computer chat trying to get my home school french curriculum up and working again! It has malfunctioned more times than I can count! Your phone staff was very unhelpful - telling me that tech support was no longer available to me on the phone without paying for it. I was directed to a chat box on a support page - responses from the tech person took forever - and he finally dumped me off to a page with directions saying that he could not help anymore. After trying to follow directions on that page - which also did not work, I became so frustrated that I called back and demanded to speak to a supervisor who took control of my computer and fixed the corrupted file in 35 minutes. If you are going to sell a faulty product like the homeschool program, then you should provide the tech support that you advertise! (one of the reasons I purchased - last year had lots of problems with French 1 and would not have repurchased but needed to complete school credit). I have already written a review on Amazon about the shabby treatment and inferior product that you have and I plan on spreading the word in all my home-school groups and facebook and where ever else that I can advising people NOT to purchase your product unless they enjoy frustration and faulty programs! I am thoroughly disgusted at all the time my student has lost due to snags with your program and time that I have lost trying to fix the problems. It has proven to be too expensive when I add in all the time lost with my own business trying to get my student back on track because of problems that arise with your inferior program!

I will say this about the program: It is very good. There is lots of repetition, the lessons are a joy to go through, and I rarely get bored with it. I enjoy the fact that it listens to your pronunciation using the headset, so you get lots of practice speaking, listening, and a good amount of writing practice. The program is quite good. I used it in language lab at my school and loved it and now I love it at home.
That said, the risk of losing all your money is real. They don't tell you that you may only install the program twice (using a code that's provided in the box) and after that you may not reinstall, meaning you have trashed $500. So, if your hard drive ever needs to be wiped for a virus, you would have to reinstall. There's your second installation. You'd better never have to do that again because the code is now unusable. So if you install the program on both your desktop and your laptop, that's it. You've used up your 2 installations. Pray you don't ever have to wipe either or both clean and that you'll use the same computer(s) for the rest of your life because you won't have any installations left. Pray you don't have to contact customer service about this because they are very rude and unhelpful if you use up your installations. They do not want to help you even though you've shelled out hundreds of dollars. Pray you can find a computer savvy person to find a backdoor to make the program work without the code. And above all else, keep your receipt for life. It's they only way they will consider giving you a new code because they want proof that you bought it from them and not from a friend or whatever. The customer service and licensing policy is ludicrous for the price of this program. The product is great.

Terrible customer service!,
This review is from: Learn French: Rosetta Stone French - Level 1-5 Set (CD-ROM)
Don't expect much help when it comes to their helplines. They only allow you to install your very expensive software twice. If your hard drive crashes multiple times, as mine did, you're in trouble. Like another person here, I bought from an amazon vendor and was told it was pirated, so they wouldn't give me a new activation code. Basically, they punish their customers because they want to control their revenue streams -- instead of going after the vendors actively selling Rosetta Stone on this site, they refuse to allow you, the buyer, to use what you've paid for!
Beware this unethical company!

Upgraders be careful, version 4 only allows one computer,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Learn French: Rosetta Stone French - Level 1-5 Set (CD-ROM)
Rosetta Stone changed the license agreement so that version 4 can only be installed on one computer. The version 3 license agreement allowed two computers. I have version 3 with Spanish installed on two computers. The version 4 French I purchased can only be installed on one computer.

Vine Customer Review of Free Product (What's this?)
Rosetta Stone TOTALe French v4 is marketed as an innovative, total language solution for someone wishing to learn to speak, read and write conversational French. It certainly meets and exceeds those claims - it's remarkable!
Apologies in advance for the length of this review. Rosetta Stone TOTALe represents a substantial financial investment so I am assuming people considering it will want a lot of information before making a buying decision. Rosetta Stone is an immersion-style language program. That means that during the core lessons, there is no written or spoken language other that the one you are learning. There are no instructions or directions or translations in your native language, in my case English. The only words you will read or hear are French. The meanings are made clear through pictures, gestures and logic. It sounds almost impossible, but it is actually quite intuitive. It's amazing how quickly you pick up the words, the sentence structure, the grammar and the spellings. Immersion is how all children learn language, and it works just as well for many adults. However, because this software is quite expensive, you might want to make yourself familiar with immersion style to make sure you are comfortable with it before purchasing. I also use a free online French-English dictionary quite frequently after a lesson to make certain I am clear on some words and tenses. I will probably purchase a hard copy dictionary soon as a supplement. In other words, for anything further than being able to converse well and read signs or packaging or instructions, you will want some other resources. The core program is divided into 5 levels, each with many, many lessons and reviews. Each lesson focuses on a particular aspect of the language - vocabulary, grammar, writing/spelling, pronunciation, etc. The lessons are short, so it is easy to do a lesson or two throughout the day when you have time. If you must end a particular lesson before it is finished, Rosetta picks up exactly where you left off the next time you sign in. This makes it extremely easy for even the busiest person to find time for lessons. They also move quickly from one exercise to another. Because of this, lessons are rarely tedious. I particularly like that it employs numerous speakers, unlike courses that only use one male and one female voice. This way, you hear many different people saying the same words and phrases, which makes it much easier when you reach the point that you want to follow and understand conversations, french movies, etc. The package includes a fairly nice, binaural usb headset with microphone. In most lessons, you are prompted to repeat, and later answer questions, in French. If your pronunciation is off, or if your answer is wrong, it prompts you to try again until you get it right. The voice recognition is good, but you will need to fine tune your headset settings and microphone position initially. The microphone needs to be pretty close to your mouth and the volume needs to be high enough. I suspect I will need to replace the headset regularly since I have several people in my house using it every day. In addition to the core language levels (all 5 of them), there are also 4 companion audio CDs for each level - a total of 20 companion CDs. These are great for using in the car or in your MP3 player! Each CD includes the MP3 files for easy download to your player. It reinforces what you are learning and if you are chauffeuring kids around, they will be learning, too. I listen to them while on the treadmill because it makes the time go faster and I feel like I'm multi-tasking. You can set up multiple users for the core program. My 20 year old son in college, my 8 year old son, and my husband are all users and working at their own pace. For me, it makes the cost of this program a little more reasonable. The 15 months of online support, which is the TOTALe part of this package, is only available for one user, so choose carefully which user will get this as it cannot be changed later. The online services make Rosetta high octane. There are games and stories and individual tutoring sessions with native speakers and opportunities to converse in French with other learners. This feature absolutely speeds up the process of becoming conversational as quickly as possible. The individual sessions with native speaking tutors are scheduled, but the games and stories and other features are available anytime. If the online opportunities don't appeal to you or you don't have enough time for scheduled sessions, you might consider purchasing one of the regular Rosetta Stone language packages. It's the same core language program, but without the 15 months of online services, and is less expensive. As an alternative to the online part, there are some free online communities, like Livemocha, where language learners can converse online with other learners. It's not as fluid as Rosetta Stone since the other learners are using many different programs and classes and are at different levels, but it's still a nice opportunity to practice speaking your new language. A down side to Rosetta Stone is it's EULA. This software is non-transferable. If you don't like it, you are stuck and it would be a very expensive mistake. Also, I have read other reviews that say it is difficult to get help from Rosetta in the event of computer crashes or upgrades. I didn't have any issues with my install so I cannot speak to that, but it bears consideration. If you want to learn French (or any new language) and can afford it, I heartily recommend Rosetta Stone. If you want/need to learn French as quickly as possible, Rosetta Stone TOTALe would probably be helpful in speeding up the process, although learning a new language well is never an overnight process. |

Not Your Grandfather's Recession — Literally
Relatively speaking, older Americans' attitudes and lifestyles have been less affected by the economic slump than have those of younger Americans. Meantime, the "Threshold Generation," people nearing retirement, have been hardest hit, as they've seen their nest eggs shrink the most.
Generations Online in 2009
Contrary to the image of Generation Y as the "Net Generation," internet users in their twenties do not dominate every aspect of online life. Gen X is the most likely to shop, bank and look for health information online. And larger percentages of older generations are doing many more activities online.

Four Roads 1-12 Athleague 1-6
Tommy Connolly
There was a lot at stake at Athleague on Saturday last between these two great local rivals. Athleague were seeking to go on to complete their three-in-row of county titles, while Four Roads were looking to get back to the county final for the first time in three years. Something had to give and it was Four Roads who showed the greater resolve and hunger to progress to the county final against their south Roscommon opponents Padraig Pearses.
The first half was particularly disappointing with both defences on top with a lot of scrappy and intense hurling. We had to wait eight minutes for the first score, a pointed free by Ray Mulry for Four Roads. This was followed quickly by a fine point from play by Michael Kelly from inside his own 65 and another free by Mulry to put his side 0-3 to 0-0 ahead. Mervyn Connaughton opened Athleagues account with a pointed free in the twelfth minute.
A point from a free by Shane Curley and another from play by Michael Kelly put Four Roads 0-5 to 0-1 ahead, half-way through the first period. A point from a 65 by Mervyn Connaughton kept the county champions in touch but this was matched by a fine point by Brendan Kelly. Then almost on the stroke of half-time came the games first goal, which brought Athleague back into it. Full-forward Joe Fallon crept in behind the full-back to receive a long delivery from Gary Fallon to score a somewhat easy goal. This sent the current champions in only a point adrift (0-6 to 1-2) at the break.
The second half was a much more entertaining and competitive affair. The pendulum seemed to be swinging towards Athleague when two frees from their star player Mervyn Connaughton put them ahead for the first time, by a point. The crucial score however came in the 12th minute when Four Roads centre-forward Ronnie Kennedy showed tremendous skill to control a through ball and finish to the net from a narrow angle. This was the platform on which his side built his victory.
Two fine points from play by Ray Mulry and Brendan Kelly stretched their lead to four points. They lost their full-back, Paul Connolly, to a straight red card as the game entered the last quarter but even that didnt upset their march to victory. Mervyn Connaughton and Ray Mulry exchanged pointed frees before Connaughton finished the Athleague scoring with a free five minutes from time. Four Roads substitute David Dolan fired over two fine points while Ray Mulry completed their tally with a pointed free. Towards the end Padraig Mulry made a couple of fine saves to prevent an Athleague resurgence.
Four Roads: P. Mulry, S. Curly (0-1), P. Connelly, M. McLoughlin, N. Cunniffe, M. Kelly (0-2), P. Kelly, L. Gately, T. Lennon, B. Kelly (0-2), R. Kennedy (1-0), D. Lohan, J. Moran, R. Mulry (0-5), A. Lawlor. Subs: J. Coyne/ A. Lawlor; D. Dolan (0-2)/ D. Lohan.
Athleague: D. Connell, D. Delaney, C. Moran, P. Glennon, J. Connolly, D. McGeeney, A. Cunniffe, M. Connaughton (0-6), A. Moore, T. Reddington, N. Fallon, G. Fallon, S. McGeeney, J. Fallon (1-0), C. Kelly. Subs: K. McGeeney/N. Connolly; I. Connaughton/A. Moore; D. Flaherty/C. Kelly; K. Boyle/ J. Fallon.
Referee: B. McDermott.
Roscommon SHC semi-final
Padraig Pearses 3-19 Tremane 0-9
As expected Padraig Pearses powered their way to their third consecutive county final, when they completely overwhelmed a disappointing Tremane side at Athleague on Saturday last. Tremane did manage to hold their own in the first half but they had no answer to the power and conviction of a very impressive south Roscommon outfit in the second.
The first quarter was pedestrian and dull, with no hint of the flood of scores to come. After sixteen minutes Pearses led by 1-1 to 0-3. Michael Donoghue scored the Pearses point with the goal coming from Shane Sweeney. The three Tremane points were from Michael Kearney frees. In fact, it was a sign of weakness in Tremane that they had to wait until injury-time in the game before they scored a point from play.
Further Pearses points followed from Shane Sweeney (2) and Leo Flynn before Adrian Coyne pointed Tremanes fourth free. Man of the Match Dara Mulvey got the first of his 1-9 total with two points (1 free), which was answered by another Michael Kearney free. A point by Ollie Dolan and a Dara Mulvey free completed Pearses scoring to leave them ahead by 1-8 to 0-5 at the break.
Tremane were still in the game but had no reply to the hurricane they were to face in the second half. Pearses set their stall out early, as they rattled over five points from Thomas Seale, Dara Mulvey (3 frees) and Michael Donoghue to open up an eleven point lead. Michael Kearney pulled a point back from a free but Pearses were soon on their scoring spree again.
Dara Mulvey crashed in a fine goal from a Seale pass. Michael Kearney pointed a 65 but his side was now 2-13 to 0-7 behind with only 10 minutes gone in the half. The result was a foregone conclusion now and it was only a matter of going through the motions. Dara Mulvey (2) and Ollie sent over further points before Tremanes Marty Healy pointed a long range free. A Michael Donoghue point and a Mulvey free added to the Tremane agony with Thomas Seale really rubbing salt in their wounds with Pearses third goal. Conor Melia scored Tremanes only point from play as the game slipped into injury-time and Christy Sweeney completed the Pearses tally with a point from play.
Padraig Pearses: P. Dolan, D. Loughnane, R. Donoghue, C. Kelly, J. Mulvey, A. Sweene, K. Glynn, M. Mulvey, L. Flynn (0-1), M. Donoghue (0-3), O. Dolan (0-2), S. Sweeney (1-2), P. Galvin, D. Mulvey (1-9), A. Sweeney. Subs: C. Sweeney (0-1)/ D. Healy; T. Seale (1-1)/ P. Galvin; A. Naughton/ M. Mulvey; D. Dolan/ D. Mulvey.
Tremane: B. McGarry, J. Blighe, B. Haughey, M. Lynch, D. Healy, M. Healy (0-1), M. Somers, S. Melia, M. Kearney (0-6), A. Purcell, J. Kellehan, P. Lynch, N. Kilroy, A. Coyne (0-1), P. Kellehan.
Subs: F. Carr/ D. Healy; M. Blighe/ J. Kellehan; B. Keenan/ M. Somers; C. Melia (0-1)/ A. Purcell; J. Haughey/ P. Lynch.

If you're in the market for a new washing machine, a top-loader may be on your radar. Good for cramped spaces where you can't necessarily bend down to load clothes, these units tend to be less energy efficient than their front-loading brethren.
Here are some of our current favorite top-loaders.
The LG WT5101HV is a high-end washer in an attractive package. It is easy on delicate fabrics and excellent at removing stains, sporting a host of washing options and a custom, programmable wash button. It has some of the best cleaning performance we've ever seen on the Normal cycle. For this reason, the average consumer may find this model more attractive than units which focus their power on heavy cycles. It does have a few downsides: It's a bit expensive, and not terribly efficient either, costing an estimated $52.06 to operate each year—top-loading washers are almost without exception less efficient than front-loading models. The control panel also takes a little getting used to. But it's currently the best top-loading model we've tested.
Whirlpool's WTW7800XL is due to be replaced by a new model soon, but you can still find it at some retailers. It's slightly more efficient that most top-loaders we've tested, though it still looks gluttonous next to almost any front loader. Washing performance is good in the Normal, White, and Heavy cycles, and while it was generally good at removing stains, it didn't always get all the dirt out. You get a lot of options in this model and a lot of control over how much water is used, making it good for those who like to fine-tune their loads.
Maytag's Bravos XL MVWB750YW was named our best top-loading washer of 2012 in our Best of Year awards. It has a huge capacity, but stain-removal performance is inconsistent from cycle to cycle. The Normal cycle works great at getting out stains and dirt, but the Delicate and Quick cycles could use some work. Even so, it's still a great washer which has a nice touch, simple controls, and a slew of cycles.
