From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Wakehurst Place is a National Trust property located near Ardingly, West Sussex in the High Weald of southern England (grid reference TQ340315), comprising a late 16th-century country house and a mainly 20th-century garden, managed by the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, who also have a research facility there. Visitors are able to see the gardens, the historic house, and also visit the research centre.
For the National Trust's 2008–2009 fiscal year Wakehurst Place Garden was the Trust's most visited property for which admission was charged, with 439,627 visitors.[1] The house rated an illustration in Joseph Nash, The Mansions of England in the Olden Time (1839–49). The garden today covers some 2 square kilometres (500 acres) and includes walled and water gardens, woodland and wetland conservation areas.
It was largely created by Gerald Loder (later Lord Wakehurst) who purchased the estate in 1903 and spent 33 years developing the gardens.[2] He was succeeded by Sir Henry Price, under whose care the Loder plantings matured, Sir Henry left Wakehurst Place to the nation in 1963 and the Royal Botanic Gardens took up a lease from the National Trust in 1965.
Wakehurst is home to the National Collections of Betula (birches), Hypericum, Nothofagus (Southern Hemisphere beeches) and Skimmia. The Great Storm of 1987 decimated Loder's plantings, toppling 20,000 trees.[3] Since then, Kew has redesigned the gardens to create a walk through the temperate woodlands of the world.
The Wellcome Trust Millennium Building, which houses an international seed bank known as the Millennium Seed Bank (run by Kew, not the National Trust), was opened in 2000. The aim of the Millennium Seed Bank is to collect seeds from all of the UK's native flora and conserve seeds from 25% of the world's flora by 2020, in the hope that this will save species from extinction in the wild.[4]
Wakehurst Place is home to the largest growing Christmas tree in England, a giant redwood. The tree stands 35m tall and is lit with around 1,800 lights from Advent until Twelfth Night.[5] The lightbulbs on the tree were changed in 2006 to energy-saving lightbulbs, so the tree is not as bright as before but uses less energy.
Wakehurst was bought in 1694 by Dennis Lyddell, comptroller of the Royal Navy treasurer's accounts and briefly MP for Harwich. His son Richard Liddell, Chief Secretary for Ireland and MP for Bossiney, was obliged by financial pressure to pass the estate to his younger brother Charles.[6]
Much of Kenneth Branagh's 2006 film As You Like It, adapted from Shakespeare's play, was filmed on location at Wakehurst Place.
Nearby, also cared for by Kew, are Loder Valley Nature Reserve of woodland, meadowland and wetland habitats, and the Francis Rose Reserve, the first devoted to cryptogams (mosses, lichens and ferns).

Border Security:
Joint, Coordinated Actions by State and DHS Needed to Guide Biometric Visas and Related Programs

Since September 11, 2001, the U.S. government has made a concerted effort to strengthen border security by enhancing visa issuance policies and procedures, as well as expanding screening of the millions of foreign visitors who enter the United States annually. Consistent with the 9/11 Commission report that recommends a biometric entry-exit screening system for travelers, the Department of State's biometric program complements the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT) program--a governmentwide program to better control and monitor the entry, visa status, and exit of visitors. GAO was asked to present the findings of its report on State's Biometric Visa Program, as well as discuss other aspects of visa processing and border security that require coordinated, joint actions by State and DHS.
Our report issued today finds that State is implementing the Biometric Visa Program on schedule and will likely meet the October 26, 2004, deadline for issuing visas that include biometric indicators, as mandated by Congress. As of September 1, 2004, State had installed program hardware and software at 201 visa issuing posts overseas and plans to complete the installation at the remaining 6 posts by September 30. Technology installation has progressed smoothly, however State and DHS have not provided comprehensive guidance to consular posts on when and how information from the DHS Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT) on visa applicants should be considered by adjudicating consular officers. In the absence of such guidance, we found that these officers are unclear on how best to use the biometric program and IDENT information. Since September 11, State and DHS have made many improvements to visa issuance and border security policies. Nevertheless, in prior reports, we have found additional vulnerabilities that need to be addressed through joint, coordinated actions. For example, DHS has not adequately defined the operational context for US-VISIT, which affects the biometric program. In addition, we identified systemic weaknesses in information sharing between State and DHS in the visa revocation process. Moreover, we found related weaknesses in an interagency security check process aimed to prevent the illegal transfer of sensitive technologies.

text: Thanks for the awesome review of this tonneau cover! This review swayed my decision to purchase Extang Solid Fold. I too was torn between the Fold-A-Cover G4 and the Extang Solid Fold, mainly because of the fact that you get to keep the Toyota rail system with both covers. The main features that made my mind up was how fast the cover was removed if the entire truck bed was needed, and how simple the installation was compared to the G4. Also, the AMAZING deal from Luke at Truckalterations.com didn't hurt either. It should hopefully be here Monday/Tuesday & I'm looking forward to installing it.

All content below is taken in its entirety from the CDC Meningococcal Vaccine Information Statement (VIS): http://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/hcp/vis/vis-statements/mening.html
CDC Review Information for Meningococcal VIS:
Content source: National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases
Meningococcal disease is a serious bacterial illness. It is a leading cause of bacterial meningitis in children 2 through 18 years old in the United States. Meningitis is an infection of the covering of the brain and the spinal cord.
Meningococcal disease also causes blood infections.
About 1,000-1,200 people get meningococcal disease each year in the U.S. Even when they are treated with antibiotics, 10-15% of these people die. Of those who live, another 11%-19% lose their arms or legs, have problems with their nervous systems, become deaf or mentally retarded, or suffer seizures or strokes.
Anyone can get meningococcal disease. But it is most common in infants less than one year of age and people 16-21 years. Children with certain medical conditions, such as lack of a spleen, have an increased risk of getting meningococcal disease. College freshmen living in dorms are also at increased risk.
Meningococcal infections can be treated with drugs such as penicillin. Still, many people who get the disease die from it, and many others are affected for life. This is why preventing the disease through use of meningococcal vaccine is important for people at highest risk.
There are two kinds of meningococcal vaccine in the U.S.:
Both vaccines can prevent 4 types of meningococcal disease, including 2 of the 3 types most common in the United States and a type that causes epidemics in Africa. There are other types of meningococcal disease; the vaccines do not protect against these.
Routine vaccination
Two doses of MCV4 are recommended for adolescents 11 through 18 years of age: the first dose at 11 or 12 years of age, with a booster dose at age 16.
Adolescents in this age group with HIV infection should get three doses: 2 doses 2 months apart at 11 or 12 years, plus a booster at age 16.
If the first dose (or series) is given between 13 and 15 years of age, the booster should be given between 16 and 18. If the first dose (or series) is given after the 16th birthday, a booster is not needed.
Other people at increased risk:
Children between 9 and 23 months of age, and anyone else with certain medical conditions need 2 doses for adequate protection. Ask your doctor about the number and timing of doses, and the need for booster doses.
MCV4 is the preferred vaccine for people in these groups who are 9 months through 55 years of age. MPSV4 can be used for adults older than 55.
Except for children with sickle cell disease or without a working spleen, meningococcal vaccines may be given at the same time as other vaccines.
A vaccine, like any medicine, could possibly cause serious problems, such as severe allergic reactions. The risk of meningococcal vaccine causing serious harm, or death, is extremely small.
Brief fainting spells and related symptoms (such as jerking or seizure-like movements) can follow a vaccination. They happen most often with adolescents, and they can result in falls and injuries.
Sitting or lying down for about 15 minutes after getting the shot -- especially if you feel faint -- can help prevent these injuries.
Mild problems
As many as half the people who get meningococcal vaccines have mild side effects, such as redness or pain where the shot was given.
If these problems occur, they usually last for 1 or 2 days. They are more common after MCV4 than after MPSV4.
A small percentage of people who receive the vaccine develop a mild fever.
Severe problems
Serious allergic reactions, within a few minutes to a few hours of the shot, are very rare.
What should I look for?
Look for anything that concerns you, such as signs of a severe allergic reaction, very high fever, or behavior changes.
Signs of a severe allergic reaction can include hives, swelling of the face and throat, difficulty breathing, a fast heartbeat, dizziness, and weakness. These would start a few minutes to a few hours after the vaccination.
What should I do?
VAERS is only for reporting reactions. They do not give medical advice.
The National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) is a federal program that was created to compensate people who may have been injured by certain vaccines.
Persons who believe they may have been injured by a vaccine can learn about the program and about filing a claim by calling 1-800-338-2382 or visiting the VICP website .

My fiancé and I found Cassandra through a mutual friend beings that we didn't know anyone in the real-estate market. Our first home buying experience could not have gone any smoother. With this being our first home, we did not know much about the process until we met Cassandra. She is very knowledgable about real-estate and was always there when we needed her. I would highly recommend her to anyone we know and we look forward to using her in the future!

Ratings & Reviews
We are very happy with the job Cassandra Skelley did in selling our home. She was respectful of our wishes and concerns. Whenever we called, emailed or messaged her, she was quick to answer our questions. Cassandra was never pushy or demanding. It was great working with her.
Cassandra helped my husband and I with both the selling of our townhouse and the purchase of our new home, and I cannot think of enough wonderful things to say about her and her real estate expertise! She guided us every step of the way, and helped to make the process as streamlined and smooth as possible. She is incredibly knowledgeable, always professional, and has a wonderful sense of humor and positive spirit - and if you've ever sold or purchased a home, you know how invaluable this is!! We felt like she really listened to our needs in both the selling and buying process, and helped us to find the house that was just right for us and our family. She is a gem, and we will most definitely be using Cassandra for all of our future real estate needs!!
Cassandra and I met as the result of her bringing a buyer to my property that was for sale. Because of complications with zoning the buyer was unable to follow through with the sale. Being exposed to her through this process I realized I needed to have her represent our interests and I asked her to become our representative, it became a partnership.
The same issues that presented difficulty to the buyer she brought to me when we met continued until recently. We spoke often and made plans to accommodate clients, legal council and she showed the property personally at my request.
I told her after I asked her to represent the me that I had gone from the worst broker the best broker I have ever worked with. I have been involved with 9 property purchases and/or sales with more to come in the future. I have not plans of ever using any other source than Cassandra.
James Card
I didn't realize the potential of my house until Cassandra showed us what we could get. Her confidence on value makes you feel reassured. Our home was a very unique home that required the right customer and even though it was also during the holiday season we sold it in less than three months. I really didn't think we would sell during the holidays. Cassandra also helped us on the purchase of our new home and through the process she got us exactly what we wanted. There was another offer when we came in but she helped us get it. What i love most is how quick she is to respond and is there when you need her.
I highly recommend Cassandra to anyone looking for their new home in the Portland metro area. She helped me get into a home in Beaverton and was very accommodating even though her office is in Milwaukee (about 45 min drive most days). She is very knowledgeable about housing trends and potential pitfalls to look for. Her main goal was definitely getting me into the right home for me. I immediately liked that she is an entrepreneur with her own shop and is very driven in a competitive and sometimes volatile market. I had struggles with the lender I was referred and she quickly offered up her trusted lender as a second referral who I ended up going with. My round trip offer to move in date was a day over 30 days. It felt very smooth and fast the whole time. Thanks Casandra for all of your help!!
I rarely give anyone/thing a perfect grade, but Cassandra sets the high bar to which everyone should aspire. From the beginning she was thorough and well prepared, and very impressive in her knowledge and practice of real estate. What really impressed me was how I felt like the most important client in her world. She always took my calls and responded to texts as if she was just waiting for me to ask her a question. Add to that the fact that she always went the extra mile, was ready to address my issues and problems not matter how small. Thank you Cassandra for a wonderful real estate experience, both buying and selling!
We didn't know Cassandra, but she came highly recommended. We interviewed several agents. Her enthusiasm, knowledge and organization were most impressive. She followed up quickly on every detail. She provided wise counsel and promoted our property in a highly unique way which resulted in higher than asking price offers and 30 showings in the first five days. She was adroit at negotiations, working with other realtors, appraisers and inspectors; always advocating on our behalf. She is a great communicator and kept us informed every step of the way. I have recommended her to friends and family. She is one of the best agents I have every worked with and I will continue to highly recommend her.
Thank you for making a potentially stressful situation an absolute amazing experience. Cassandra was so responsive, and had a way of putting me at ease every step of the way! Thank you again!!
She really helped me make my idea a reality helped me through a lot of what I didn't know and was very kind. I will be recommending her on the future along with my own future business.

Arizona Cardinals
Rookie QB Logan Thomas largely ineffective in Cardinals preseason finale
With the two teams set to face one another in the opener of the 2014 regular season in just 11 days time, the Arizona Cardinals and San Diego Chargers were not willing to show much in both teams' final exhibition tune-up Thursday night at Qualcomm Stadium.
It's the reason head coach Bruce Arians gave Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton the night off, opting instead to start third-string quarterback Logan Thomas for all 60 minutes of game action.
But faced with playing alongside more or less a second-team offensive line, backfield and receiving corps, Thomas looked every bit the part of a 2014 fourth-round pick.
While he managed to lead the Cardinals down the field for three points in the opening minutes of the first quarter -- connecting with fellow rookie Troy Niklas in the process on passes of nine and 23 yards respectively -- the former Virginia Tech standout was largely ineffective the rest of the night.
Thomas finished the evening -- one in which Arizona fell to San Diego by a final of 12-9 -- 9-of-21 for 73 yards to go along with an interception on the Cardinals' final possession of the preseason affair.
"Offensively, there really wasn't anything to write home about," Arians told Arizona Sports 98.7 FM's Paul Calvisi Thursday night. "It was a poor performance by a bunch of guys."
Under Thomas' direction, Arizona's offense went three-and-out on five different occasions. The rookie was also sacked three times, fumbled twice and failed to retain possession once in the second quarter.
Although both fumbles were largely the result of poor protection from Bradley Sowell and Nate Potter, it was a long night for the 23-year-old even when he did have time -- overthrew Zach Bauman and Brittan Golden on deep balls in the fourth quarter.
For the preseason, Thomas combined to go 22-of-40 for 207 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.

I'm a senior UNIX system administrator in the San Francisco Bay Area. The great thing about being a sysadmin is that I get to dabble in a little bit of everything. Work is never boring, that's for sure. I still find it hard to believe that people are willing to pay me to have so much fun.
I'm a big fan of Perl. It's an excellent programming language with a fantastic user community. Learning Perl, and improving my programming skills with it, has been one of my most rewarding personal and professional decisions.

I have recieved reports that 2 Karthwasten triggers from 2 different quests in my Skyrim Fightings Guild Mod and my the Palace of the Kings trigger the TEG Windhelm Mod are not triggering for some people. I have youtube videos online proving they do work and work 100% of the time for me the most reliable way, which is why I use this system and which proves something else is going on and it is causing triggers to fail to work.
I know that if you place a smaller trigger box inside a larger trigger box, the smaller trigger stops working or becomes highly unreliable and skyrim is full of massive trigger boxes. If a modder places a huge trigger box, it would break all other mods triggers that are inside it in the game. There are probably conditions which allow the smaller box to run such as running in to it whilst already fully inside larger trigger box but I need to run more tests on this to find out for certain.
So that is 1 known issue.
Another issue has come up before, that is SKSE.
In the past SKSE has broken in game triggers in this way according to reports I have recieved previously. All those effected so far seem to be SKSE users.
I am still gathering information on this. But because players do not like answering specific questions when I ask then and tend to post pointless answers I have not asked for or simply did not even bother reading my questions, I have gotten absolutely no where with with this over the past 3 months. As a result I am unable to take this issue further. Unless people start being a lot more specific in their replies to this topic and start answering my questions FULLY.
I will add that Skyrim remembers a lot of things about scripts, so disabling SKSE AFTER it has been run is too late, as is disabling any mod that edits default game scripts, the damage is done the second you save your game with one of those mods or SKSE running. There is no disabling it later and getting away with it. It is "changed your save already"... Bye bye instantly invalidating all tests you run after that.
The only valid test is a game that has never had SKSE run on it at all. If the issue still happens and SKSE has never been used in that save, then its not SKSE (I do not use SKSE and I do not have this issue so I cannot test for it here).
If it works and SKSE has never been used then SKSE remains a possible source of the problem. If you only run SKSE and one of the mods effected and it still happens, then it is definitely SKSE causing the problem. Those are the only valid tests you can run for this.
The good news is that the TEG Windhelm mod has a trigger that runs the second the civil war is over as you enter the palace of the Kings in Windhelm and leave it. Giving an instant result in the form of a messenger, either legion or stormcloak waiting to talk to you outside in Windhelm. Skyrim Fighters Guild also has 2 Karthwasten missions that trigger it, the quickest one to get too is the one from the Solitude branch, the attack on Kwarthwasten.
I would point out that all my mods use trigger boxes to run, there is no alternative way of starting quests reliably anymore because Beth removed the older reliable options from the editor years ago. So this basically means you can run all my mods if unaffected you might as well uninstall them all now and give up if you are affected. There is no maybe it will work if triggers are broken in your game. Even Return to Helgen, DLG, Solstheim and every other mod of mine will be affected.
In short, help me find the cause or uninstall the mods and go and download something that does not use trigger boxes at all.
Those literally are your only choices here.
Post your feedback on the forum where others can read it and reply too it and do not spare the detail.

Hands up who would make a mod and share it publically if you knew you for an absolute fact (first hand experience) 100s or 1000s of trolls would make your life a hell if you did so.
NOBODY would share anything under those conditions, so why do some idiots expect me too ?
Fact is getting to the mods is easy, you just have to behave your self, read the intro forum stickies which explains what you have to do, then post until I am sure you are not a troll and the downloads will open as if by magic. The system is only annoying once for decent people, when you get past it you never see it again. From that moment on all future downloads and updates are instantly available to you.
Given how fast I work and how good at modding I am.... that is something to look forward too. A steady supply of brand new mods from one of the better more experienced modders and all you have to do is follow the rules and they are yours.
Of course I do realise that for those who fail to respect my wishes and read the stickies and rules, the system can be extremely annoying and frustrating when you keep getting your account deleted and have to do it all again and again and again. All I will say to that is GOOD, it was designed to do that. To follow a sites rules, you have to know the site rules and anybody that chooses not to read them, has chosen not to follow them and will lose their accounts for it. It is that simple.
The TEG system allows me to enjoy sharing mods with you without getting 1000s of trolls pissing me off every week. Without it you would not get any mods from me at all, I simply would not share anything publically anymore. I have seen public downloads on TEG get abused far too often to want a return to those days again.

This is the new NCR V3 Video for you all to enjoy.

- Written by Giskard
- Hits: 615
The NCR V3 is now available in TEGs download area. I did not make the 10 quest story line for it because I am currently lacking the voice actors to do it. Instead I have added some new repeatable quests and other new features.
Medics are now allowed to do Ranger Battles and Patrol missions and get paid for doing them, as well as experience. They are the only unit that can do other units missions but do not get the other units kit, they still only have access to the medic kit. Every unit should have a medic even if the AI never needs one.
Experience has been tweated for some missions, so harder missions award more experience. Also the player now gets paid for doing NCR missions, the amount changes according to the difficulty of the mission and the amount of time it should take to complete it. The new Search and Destory missions may take a while until you get used to them, so it offers the most experience and the most gold.
That Experience and Gold changes make quite a difference to the NCR mods game play, for starters you can actually make a living off NCR quests now. Enough to keep you supplied with ammo and weapons. No need to do anything other than trooper work now. Unless you want too.
A new NPC called Major Freedman has been placed in Forlorn Hope, he will be of interest to you once you reach the rank of Staff Sergeant or Higher. Once you reach the required rank 2 new features will unlock.
Feature 1) Viper Squad becomes available to use on any mission you like. Viper Squad also gets some upgrades at specific ranks so they go from Troopers, to Heavy Assault and finally to Veteran Rangers. With equipement upgrades to match. They can die but will respawn. I allowed this to simulate the time it takes for replacements to arrive.
Feature 2) Search and Destroy missions.
I will add that the search and destroy missions are set up so you do have to search for the targets and they may be scattered around so you may run in to dozens of other enemies trying to find the ones your supposed to kill. Whilst means you will never know who is the target so your just going to have to kill every enemy you see just in case :)
So be sure to take Viper Squad with you :)
This release, whilst not big, is important, it rounds off the mods current features nicely, makes it more complete and starts using the Rank feature introduced in 2.2 to unlock new quests. You may see more these rank based jobs in the future.

Here are some more Giwer lies. I wrote, in response to someone else, that our system at nizkor.almanac.bc.ca was purchased in 1995 (1994?), when -- and I chose my words carefully -- "when 486s weren't _quite_ so cheap as now." As I wrote those words, I pictured what Giwer or Moran or someone who wasn't choosy about the truth would do with them. I made sure to emphasize that I wasn't claiming 486s were expensive. I was careful to state it in such a way that no one would think I was saying they weren't cheap. I added underlining so my point wouldn't be missed. True to form, Giwer misquoted me anyway. Twice that I've found so far. In this first article, he asks rhetorically "486s weren't cheap?" and "who ripped you off?" He states that we paid "outrageous prices." In the second, he's claiming "they think a 486DX25 was expensive." More lies. So what else is new? - Jamie McCarthy What makes this all the more amusing is the fact that the 486 was donated - and that this fact had been published on the net at the time, and that this fact appears in some of the press reports of the period.

What are Bush, Cheney thinking on torture?
WASHINGTON - What in the world are George Bush and his alter ego, Dick Cheney, thinking when it comes to handling suspects and prisoners in the war on terror? This country doesn't torture people or hold them indefinitely without due process or deny them any of the other protections that are afforded by the Constitution, international agreements and just plain civilized behavior.
This nation doesn't set up clandestine prisons around the globe to hold suspected terrorists in so-called "black sites" where no one but CIA operatives knows what occurs. Hundreds of thousands of Americans have died to make sure that the Gestapo never exists here and that even our enemies are treated with the civility that they would never accord us.
That is the point that Republican Sen. John McCain has made eloquently in introducing legislation to end any use of extreme and degrading coercion by our military and intelligence gathering forces.
Maintaining a humane system of justice even for our enemies is our greatest strength. If it leads to some failures in apprehending those who would harm us, it is the price that we must pay for our own liberty. For the president of the United States not to understand this is almost incomprehensible. It is equally as bad for him to openly defend such policies and for the vice president to lobby to continue these practices on grounds that terrorists are faceless, shadowy enemies who should not be afforded the same humane treatment given prisoners from the battlefield.
Presidents can no longer get away as they once did with looking the other way while their agents take measures outside international law. Plausible deniability is almost impossible to achieve in this world of 24-hour journalistic oversight.
Abuse did enormous harm
The situation at Guantanamo and the tragedy of Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq did enormous harm to this nation's image and aided and abetted the goals of terrorism nearly as much as the Sept. 11, 2001, attack on America, lending credence to the claims of those who hate us that we are far from the sympathetic, honorable people we profess to be. A good case can be made in these situations that we are little better than those who would destroy our institutions.
In the immediate aftermath of 9/11, many of us reacted by arguing that anything we had to do to prevent another such incident, we should do. If it meant torturing, deporting, incarcerating without cover of law anyone we suspected of plotting against us, so be it. After all, the end should justify the means, particularly if the end was saving American lives. But as we calmed down we understood that ultimately this would shred the standards of decency and law that we profess to cherish. If we are God-fearing as many of us believe, then we must live up to the edicts of that God no matter what.
Throughout our foreign wars we have prided ourselves in the way we treated prisoners. A distinguished German journalist and friend laughed when I asked how he came to speak English with a southern accent. "Washing dishes in an Alabama restaurant when I was 19, and a prisoner of war," he said. "Getting captured was the best thing that ever happened to me."
No one is better qualified than McCain to drive home the anti-torture point. His years in a North Vietnam prison were a nightmare only the strongest constitution and spirit could have survived. If we ever expect to free our own forces from the fear of that experience, we should clean up our own act. The president must take the lead without qualification.

Keane calm despite derby win
26 Oct 2008 - 10:56:48
Sunderland manager Roy Keane was delighted to finally end his side's home hoodoo against Newcastle United as they beat their local rivals 2-1 at the Stadium of Light.
The Black Cats had failed to take three points against their near neighbours on home soil since 1980, but goals by Djibril Cisse and Kieran Richardson finally put an end to that dismal record.
Keane said after the victory: "We've finally defeated Newcastle on home turf for the first time in 28 years and I thought it was an excellent game.
"It's always nice to beat your local rivals and everybody has been reminding us how long it has been. But we deserved it, we played some good stuff.
"It was good performance - I think we deserved to win the game. I thought it was a great atmosphere and I enjoyed it. Conditions weren't great but I thought we handled them well. We passed it and moved it well.
"We edged the game in terms of chances. We were under the cosh at the end but we got through it. The players have got their just rewards after the last few weeks, when we didn't get our rewards.
"It was a brilliant strike by Kieran Richardson - a bit like his 'goal' last week. We thought it might have been a penalty but Kieran stuck it well in, the keeper had no chance.
"It was tight in the second half and it probably needed something special to win the game, thankfully for us one of our players did it.
"I thought we were very positive and it was good to see Kenwyne (Jones) on. The win meant a lot to the players - you saw that at the end of the game.
"We can't get on our high horse and think we've achieved something, far from it. Newcastle have been ahead of us for many years, it's a small step for us."
A small number of home fans invaded the pitch at the end of the match but Keane hopes their behaviour will not distract from his side's display.
He added: "We'll have to wait and see but hopefully it won't take away from what the players have achieved.
"Nobody likes to see fans on the pitch, trust me, but hopefully the FA will go easy on us because the fans have to enjoy it.
"If one or two ran on the pitch, well they've had plenty of time to wait for the chance."

So recently I just received a nice reaming and I was curious how people here respond to such events? Normally, if I didn't have a wife and child I would have told my boss to shove this job up his arse... but since I enjoy my job and have to agree i have a pretty sweet gig here my response was well taken... I let my boss lay into pretty hard, and bit my tongue, then after he was done I came up with a list of all the positive things I do for this company, then I personally critiqued myself and gave my boss about a page of negative things I need to work on and asked for guidance. I'm sure everyone's boss is different, but mine took my response very well and his attitude went from being completely pissed off at me to a complete 180 and is now defending me and asking other people to get their crap together. Now I just need to follow through and improve.
did you ask for the reaming?
Cheers, EdWortHaus Pale Ale, Bavarian Hefeweizen, Robust Porter, Oktoberfest Ale, Wounded Knee IPA, Rye IPA, BCB IPA, Kolsch, Apfelwein
I feel your pain, I'm in the military and dont have the option of telling my boss to shove this job up his arse. It has its ups and downs, but their are definetly some days I just wish I could be fired, and have an awesome brewing job land in my lap. Just dreaming though.......
funny you should bring this up, today is performance review day at my work, I have a meeting about this in 5 minutes, lets see how it goes.
No matter how rich you are, you can still only drink 16 or 17 liters of beer a day.
What you did was very mature. Your boss should take your response as a HUGE plus on your review. Second, if your boss is worth his weight, he'll come back at a later time and apologize for ripping into you. Hopefully your review went well and should reflect you strengths as well as your willingness to ask for improvement.
I'm partial to the double bird. It's always well received!
I've had to give my guys some "help" in their reviews - when they do what you stated here, I know they are on top of their job, so long as we see improvement on those points - write them down somewhere close to your desk and check up on them every day - helps keep you straight on what you said you are doing and what you are really doing - as for getting chewed up, I have been ripped into because I don't drink the kool-aid - and that's what we call in my shop a "limiter". I'm about as high as I'll get in middle management. Just means I gots more time to brew at home

Portland-based hip-hop/magic/comedy band Chicharones are headlining the big "Madhappy Freak Show" at the Domino Room Saturday night. I spoke with band principals Josh Martinez and Sleep, who aren't your average MCs, that's for sure. For example:
"We're bringing … exploding cigarettes and a bunch of other random things that we've brought together," said one half of the Chicharones, Josh Martinez, in a telephone interview last week.
"Now we levitate Josh on stage," chimed in Martinez's partner, the MC known as Sleep. "Which is pretty awesome."
Martinez and Sleep are both Northwest-based rappers and musicians who, for the past several years, were better known for their brainy solo work than their joint venture.
That's changing, though.
Since Martinez moved to Portland a few years ago, Chicharones' vaudevillian take on hip-hop has gained the duo a higher profile, bigger crowds and more opportunities. And that means more money.
Which means — what else? — buying more magic tricks!
Both these guys were great interviews, and I'm truly stoked to see them perform Saturday. The whole night — which features locals Jukebot, Mindscape and Capture the Flag — is going to be fun, and I hope you'll read my whole article by clicking here.
(Perhaps the highlight of Sunday's Band of Horses show in Bend. Video by buckluther.)
For the first time in 2010, Feedback traveled to Les Schwab Amphitheater to see She & Him and Band of Horses. The former was boring, but the latter was great. Here's a bit of my review:
New tunes "Compliments" and "Laredo" provided a taste of "Infinite Arms," and were followed by "No One's Gonna Love You," a beautiful older song that struck me in a new way. Looking back, I'm surprised it wasn't a huge hit thanks to its soaring chorus and some shrewd placement in a romantic comedy film.
The highlight of the night, though, came during "Monsters," when some serendipitous soul let fly with fireworks across the Deschutes River. They first caught the attention of the crowd, and then (Band of Horses frontman Ben) Bridwell, who was visibly stoked to see them, shouting "Keep doing that, please!" Which they did. For a couple of minutes, the fireworks flashed and boomed and fell glistening to the ground, while "Monsters" loped to its crescendoing chorus and then faded into the night air as Bridwell bowed to the east, pressing his hands together in thanks.
I'll spare you the unkind words I had for She & Him. You'll just have to click here to read them.
Also in this week's music section: pop-rock singer-songwriter Tyrone Wells is at The Annex tonight, and burly, bearded folk singer The White Buffalo returns to Silver Moon Brewing on Saturday. And there's always more in The Bulletin's complete music listings.

Berbatov not for sale - Ferguson

But Ferguson says he has no plans to offload the Bulgarian. "No, no, definitely not," he said. "He is a fantastic footballer and he will be with us next year."

Despite a whole list of worries and fears, Kristin continues to adventure here in Nome and learns what it really means to be "brave".
Despite a whole list of worries and fears, Kristin continues to adventure here in Nome and learns what it really means to be "brave".
800,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate made it's way through the Port of Nome over the weekend, en route to a storage location northwest of the Nome airport.
She's come a long way to help make our mission possible, and she's the first voice many of our listeners hear every weekday. First-year volunteer Caitlin Whyte, most recently a resident of New York City, is now our Morning Show host and, in her off-air hours, a producer at KNOM.
In late August, four of our newly-arrived volunteers went to Wales, Alaska to observe and take part in a beloved annual festival of Alaska Native music and culture.
Are you a KNOM transmitter? That's the question we'll be asking throughout this month, as we kick off our first email campaign!
In the 1960s, the US government almost detonated nuclear bombs (for civil engineering purposes) near Point Hope, Alaska. The legacy of this halted plan and what happened instead prompted a very unique reporting trip this summer, undertaken by news reporter Zachariah Hughes.
Francesca reflects on the "small acts of courage" displayed by KNOM volunteers as they adapt to life in Nome.
It was a busy week for the Port of Nome, as two fuel tankers delivered diesel and jet fuel to the city and harbormaster Lucas Stotts prepared for an order of ammonium nitrate later in the month.
On the ballot this November: The legalization of marijuana in Alaska. Let you voice regarding this issue be heard, this week on Sounding Board.
Lt. Governor Mead Treadwell hosted the first of eight scheduled hearings to discuss Ballot Measure 3 in Nome on Tuesday afternoon.

I have come back to this stuff time and time again. It's pricey, and I'm a stickler for moisturizer and sunscreen, so I probably use this up faster than most, but I keep coming back! Definitely HG for me. The gel is just so saturating, my skin drinks it up almost before my eyes! Can't say enough good things about this stuff!
I love,love,love this moisturiser!!!
I have only been using it for couple of weeks but I am already seeing RESULTS!
First of all I would like to say that although I have extremely oily skin, I have never been a fan of gels, I would always go for an oil-free lotion or a cream but never gel as I find them sticky and not as hydrating as creams.....Until I came across this little pot of magic!
It is EXTREMELY HYDRATING but at the same time non-sticky and leaves your skin looking matt and healthy. I have tried MANY moisturisers hoping I will come across one that will not make my skin look very oily after couple of hours of wearing make up and I finally have! This hydrating gel leaves your skin feeling hydrated and looking matt all day long and the best thing about it is, that if you do feel like you need a little bit more hydration (ie. in the winter months) you can always rub a small amount of this gel between your fingers and tap over your make up at any point without ruining your look or having to re-apply your make up all over again.
I simply love everything about this gel and I already know that I will be buying it again , and again.
My favourite ever moisturiser, I'm so acne prone and this has NEVER broke me out, I tend to use this more as my night time moisturiser, it's also antioxidant which I love. And people saying about unhygienic packaging, tbh your fingers should be clean if you have just washed your face then go to moisturise. Half way thru my 3rd jar, I slap it on at night because then it also acts as a face mask. OIL FREE = no break outs.

This surprised me. I shopped my sample stash and found this. It is perfect for my combination skin right now in summer/early fall. It sinks in immediately and leaves my skin feeling silky. And when I touch my skin later on it feels tons better, smooth and like butter. The moisturizer is like a drink of water for the skin. Does not make my oilier spots greasy or dry spots drier. Could not be more impressed unless this came in a tube or pump.
This is by far my HG moisturizer. It's actually intended to be a supplement for your normal moisturizer, in case you need extra moisture. However, it happens to be the perfect moisturizer for my combination-oily, incredibly sensitive and breakout-prone skin. I can feel my skin drink it in, and it never leaves a greasy film. I apply morning and night during the warmer months and at night during the colder months (I use DDMG during the day during colder months). It keeps my skin hydrated, but it has never broken me out, and I have used it since it was introduced to the market. While I would agree that this isn't the best moisturizer for dryer skin types (it's not, after all, even intended to be JUST a moisturizer), it's pretty much a miracle for people who have trouble with lotions and even some gels. I've tried the drugstore versions of this (Garnier has two formulas), but the texture and results are not even close. It's a gel, but it manages to be creamy and silky at the same time. If you have really oily skin and struggle with finding a moisturizer that own break you out, consider giving this a try. It's a little pricey, but you only have to use a dab. One jar usually lasts me 6 months to a year.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I'm not sure what to think about this product. I don't break out from it, which is a rare thing, and it doesn't make my skin greasy or shiny. However, I don't feel like its really moisturising my skin as well as other products I've used. I've almost used it all up after about 3 months, and considering the cost of it I expected it to last a little longer than that.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I have been experiencing slight dry skin from my face washes and this is a dream. Within 30 seconds of applying this all tightness/dryness is eradicated. It is a gorgeous colour light gel, and it dries so quickly , leaves no residue and dries ever so slightly matte. The game changing thing about his product is once it's absorbed it doesn't feel like there's anything on the skin, and when I went to wash my face the product changes texture to reveal itself there. It basically you get 12+ hours hydration with no residue or stickiness! That's the great thing about this product.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Good for temporary dryness, but I wouldn't use it long term. I'm not sure how it would benefit my skin from prolong use.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Wow. This is perhaps the best moisturiser for my very oily skin, especially during the summer. I have PCOs and unfortunately the last few months my skin gives me a very hard time because of this. My cycle has gone all eratic after getting gastritis and not being able to eat properly, and as a result my skin has been really crap. I was already on prescription cream (Duac 5%BP and 1%Clindamycin) and I started using it twice a day when I am not going out. My skin has gone from very oily to normal and frankly I love it...
Anyway, I started using Clinique's Acne Solutions Clinical clearing gel on days when I go out of the house in the morning (another winner by the way), and a bit of Moisture Surge on top as my skin can feel dry sometimes, mixed with either a bit of foundation (usually Clinique's Even Better) or Body Shop's gel bronzer, and my face remains oil free ALL DAY!! This is a first...
It doesn't make me oily at all, I don't even bother with my face all day when I wear this. I think Clinique should actually market this as an option for oily to very oily skin, and forget the DDMG! I think I will be using the Moisture surge during the summer and keep the DDMG for the winter.
It's an excellent product. A bit pricey sure, at least Clinique seems to be giving it with all its Bonus Time gifts, and somehow I ended up with plenty of samples that will last me for quite a while...
It is definitely worth the try if you have oily skin, and when my samples run out I will purchase without second thought. It didn't break me out either (but then again nothing from Clinique breaks me out...). Well done (again) Clinique!
Clogged pores very badly causing whiteheads, blackheads and tiny bumps all over my face. The skin on my face feels as a sand paper after using this creme gel just once. I did not change anything in my skin care routine except for using this creme gel once. Before using this my skin was baby soft, no clogged pores, no whiteheads, just an occasional hormonal breakout around chin area once in a while. This creme gel has now damaged the skin on my face. This goes without saying that I would not recommend this to anyone.

Coverage: Fox Sports New Orleans
8:00 PM ET, February 1, 2014
Smoothie King Center, New Orleans, LA
The Chicago Bulls wrapped up easily their best month of the season with a road win over a team missing many key players. They'll try to get off to a strong start in February by doing the same.
The New Orleans Pelicans, though, could be welcoming back Anthony Davis on Saturday night against Chicago, and they didn't even need him to beat the Bulls in a thriller in the teams' only meeting this season.
Chicago (23-22) went 11-4 in January despite the absence of injured former MVP Derrick Rose and the trade of former All-Star Luol Deng to Cleveland on Jan. 6.
"We have a roster full of NBA players just like everybody else," guard Jimmy Butler said. "A lot of people sleep on us, but we have a really talented group of guys that do so many things well. When we play together and just as hard as we can, I think we can win a lot of games."
The Bulls looked like they might end the month on a sour note after losing 95-86 at home to Minnesota on Monday and starting a six-game road trip Wednesday against Southwest Division-leading San Antonio.
Instead, Chicago won 96-86 over the Spurs, who were without three starters and top reserve Manu Ginobili. Butler's 19 points led seven players in double figures for the Bulls, who posted a 52-26 scoring advantage in the paint.
"The last 20 games or so, this team has played very hard and very well," coach Tom Thibodeau told the team's website. "I love the spirit of our team. We've got a great fight to us. I see a lot of possibilities for this team, a good fighting spirit. Playing hard, playing together, playing for each other. That goes a long way in this league."
Chicago has also played well in recent trips to New Orleans (19-26), winning five in a row there. The Pelicans, however, pulled out a 131-128 win in triple-overtime at Chicago on Dec. 2, even with Deng scoring 37.
Jrue Holiday converted the deciding three-point play with 2.6 seconds left, and Ryan Anderson scored a career-high 36 points. Holiday hasn't played since Jan. 8 because of a stress fracture in his right tibia, and Anderson is out with a herniated disc.
Starting center Jason Smith is recovering from right knee surgery.
Davis didn't play against the Bulls with a fractured left hand, and he broke his index finger on that same hand while scoring 30 points and blocking eight shots in a 100-89 win in Cleveland on Tuesday. The Chicago native sat out an 88-77 loss in Minnesota the next night -- which snapped New Orleans' three-game win streak -- but coach Monty Williams indicated the move was mainly precautionary.
"We could have held him out (Tuesday) night, but he was so adamant about playing that I let him go," Williams said. "So, now we have to be his brains and make sure he doesn't hurt his finger. But he should be ready for our next game."
Davis had 15 points and 10 rebounds in his only game against Chicago, a 96-87 home loss Feb. 19. Eric Gordon had a team-best 20 points in that game and scored 23 in the triple-overtime win in December.
Bulls center Joakim Noah, named to his second All-Star team this week, has double-doubles in seven of his last eight games against New Orleans. He has at least 10 rebounds in 17 straight overall.

HOF logjam suggests new rules needed
November, 11, 2013
Buster Olney | ESPN Insider
Andrew D. Bernstein/Getty ImagesTim Raines is the kind of player who will be hurt most by the 10-man ballot limit.
Very soon, the Hall of Fame ballot will arrive, with these players who I believe are Hall of Fame worthy:
Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Tom Glavine, Jeff Kent, Greg Maddux, Mark McGwire, Jack Morris, Mike Mussina, Rafael Palmeiro, Mike Piazza, Tim Raines, Curt Schilling, Sammy Sosa, Frank Thomas.
I think you also could make a heck of a case for Edgar Martinez, Lee Smith and Alan Trammell.
That's 16 players I'd definitely vote for, and three others I'd like to continue consider within the shifting landscape of who is already in the Hall of Fame.
But in the end, my ballot will almost certainly look something like this at the time I mail it in in December.
