No need to look at those numbers. The only young bowler in recent times who looked like he could top 250-300 test wickets. If you don't think he was a great talent, you are not a cricket fan.
How a failed attempt? Did Pakistan really had that bad batting line up? Are younas, Yousaf, Afridi rubbish batter? Aamir had also the services of Ajmal and Asif and still couldnt win matches.
Btw what happened to those rubbish batter when amir got banned?
They won you series against SL, NZ and no.1 England suddenly after amir was banned.

Mr. Namak. you have the most post in this thread and yet havnt bothered to read the OP once.
I compared him to Irfan because in my opinion he is the most rubbish bowler to play for India. But even that most rubbish bowler, pie chuker, spinner has won matches and series unlike your so called best talent to come from subcontinent etc.

Name calling cos you were busted? What you didn't explain is why Irfan. Why not take another bowlers's first 14 matches?
I'm still here.
I see you have no response to post #156 (other than name calling).
What are you going to do next? Come back in 2 months and post stats comparing one Batsmen vs one Bowler?
Please do, we all need a laugh from time to time.
Well that has 2 world cup and your bowler who TERRORIZED the opposition never won any.
362 Imran + 373 Waqar + 414 Wasim + 178 Akhtar + Amir 51 < 619 Kumble + 434 Kapil + 406 Bhajji
1378 < 1459
Just Kuble, Kapil and Bhajji has more wickets than Imran, Waqar, Wasim, Akhter and amir
Always check the stats b4 you speak because you look fool when your arguements are proven wrong.

he had gr8 potential...now tht gr8st talent ever is fanatic thing i guess
bt for 18-19 year old he was developing at rapid speed before that fixing happened
Says the disgruntled Indian.
Your post was countered by Ironcat's additional stats which raised the point that some of the greatest bowlers to ever grace the game had worse stats than MA!
Why don't you compare MA with the first 14 matches of India's best bowlers and not an all rounder like IP?
Do you have the bottle? No you do not.
Why not compare MA's first 14 matches with great bowlers such as Warne, Akram, and Younis?
Your aim is to belittle MA even if it means comparing an All-Rounder with a Bowler.
You are basing your judgement on the first 14 matches?
In that case SRT was crap compared to Fawad Alam, not because SRT took 73 matches to score his first ODI century, but based on your warped logic of course.

YES he was!!!! Stats are just stats. I would rather believe what I see myself and hear the opinion of the Sky pundits who could not stop singing praises of him and going all gaga over his talent.
U are welcome to produce a 100 stats, but learn to see beyond them at times.
After his first 7 or 8 test matches Aamer was averaging close to 40, even at that time it was very clear to me that he is one of the finest talents to ever play the game.
You have to watch the game..
So you start jumping on your keyboard without even reading the posts? it clearly said POST 2000, re-do the stats and embarrass yourself more. Thanks for re-echoing the point that Indians never had quality fast bowlers by bringing Kumble and Bhajji into the mix.
The first win of his career was a world cup final, he is even bigger than your Bhagwan who labored for two decades to win a WC at home :pwned

I saw him play in Oz tests, he was better than Roach ( and Roach is a fine bowler, potential great).
He was both younger & quicker than Roach, I gave him great potential.
Then he went to England and I noticed (over TV) he had slowed his pace to gain more swing & control, perfect for the conditions (oz requires pace through the air/bounce). So smart for an 18 year old.
Inswinger, outswinger, pace, bouncer, yorker, intelligence I have NEVER seen a bowler that complete at that age and I have been watching cricket seriously for almost 25 years (33 year old). Not McGrath, not Brett Lee, not Curtly, not Imran was that good that young.
Not saying for sure he would have been as great as them, but he surely had the potential.
The age at which he performed his feats must be considered- the difference between say 25 & 27 or 24 & 26 is not so great. But to do things at 17-19 which others did at 22-24 is a miracluous difference and speaks of potential greatness (as I admit it made Sachin great, Viv great etc).

Lol at OP. Go bury your nose in another statistics book and stop watching cricket.
Wasim's stats were not the greatest ever but many contemporary players rate him as the greatest bowler they've ever faced. Tendulkar is statistically superior to every batsman in the contemporary era but not every contemporary bowler rates him as the best batsman they've bowled to. Amir's talent was beyond exceptional, his fledgling career was exciting to nearly every genuine cricket fan in the world.
He had everything. Pace, bounce, swing both ways. At 18. Most of all he was INTELLIGENT. His potential was unmatched by any bowler since perhaps Akhtar & Steyn.
He is fundamentally aware of his aura within the team. His exhilaration infects them.
So what if Sachin won it after 2 Decades. Your bloody KAPTAAN won it after 3 Decades.
Why bring that post 2000 Arguement?????????????
Going by your stupid logic Naoomal Jaoomal alone took more wicket than whole pakistan pre 1947.

@ Statsguru
Why don't you compare MA with the first 14 matches of India's best bowlers and not an all rounders like IP?
Why not compare MA's first 14 matches with great bowlers such as Warne, Akram, and Younis?
If you really wanted to compare MA with India's worse bowler, how about the likes of Raina or even SRT?
Do not do a Lehman's now!

Thank you. Honestly the deniers are worthy of trolling and there is a difference between greatness achieved and potential greatness (Kambli & Sachin, Bruce Reid and Wasim). But man, the kid was something else.
There are a few guys you just sit down to watch, Warne, Steyn, Gayle, Amir was one.
Lets not underestimate him, he is a smart kid, lets hear from him, so Mr. Statsguru, what is a fast bowler to you? what is the basic requirement fora FAST bowler, forget other qualities, we'll come to it too but tell us what do you think a fast bowler should be like? no names, just list the qualities cause Irfan to many of us is not even a fast bowler so this comparison is useless. You have cracked a lot of jokes in the thread, bout time you crack one more. (Hes going to go quiet now)
Last edited by ecstatic_freak; 1st May 2012 at 15:01.
So many things wrong with this post.
Firstly, my comparison was Sachin and Fawad, not Aamir
Secondly, Fawad hasnt been given the chance other wise according to the stats he is better then Sachin
Thirdly, this isnt my logic its statsguru logic
Lastly, I was being fricking sarcastic! Im not actually the moron who is too dumb to see when a player is playing well if the stats dont add up.
Last edited by TalhaSyed; 1st May 2012 at 16:06.
Ok guys please consider this an honest and innocent post.
1. 1 guy has won more matches and series than the other. Infact the other has not won a series.
2. 1 one guy is an honest cricketer and the other is a match fixer. So how is aamir better than irfan?????
Plz answer each of my points separately.
Why Kohli, Hussy & Sanga treat me like a Sadakchaap bowler? : Answer this and get iPhone 5 : Ajmal
I knew it. Statsguru is all bluff and bluster.
He will not compare MA with the first 14 matches of India's best bowlers or against great bowlers such as Warne, Akram, and Younis but has the audacity and ignorance to compare MA with an all-rounder.
I wonder why.
Last edited by Namak_Halaal; 1st May 2012 at 17:09.
Aamir is one sensational talent who can still perform better than Irfan even if he is not going to bowl for another 5 years...
Ok so if IP was really such a great talent as compared to MA... where has his whole talent vanished then now that he even fails to perform in domestic T20 leagues?
Aren't talent and class permanent?
I already debunked your lame theory with stats:
But, the thickness through which it had to be drilled was more than I expected. So, here is a direct link:
And a couple more.
India's own left-arm wonder:
The world's top wicket taker:
next week we'll be seeing a similar thread questioning Mohammad Asif's talent by comparing him with Sreesanth
Big fail by OP, go in to hiding pal and than later call some posters out in a few months saying they ran away LOL.
"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits."
statsguru is just winding us up. failed attempt of that. hah.
What a howler of a thread, statsguru has just embarrassed himself pretty bad.
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا الله مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ الله
I can only go on what I had seen of him as an Australian fan, and he certainly looked like a special talent.
Nice twisting of words:
Here's mine: Wasim's stats were not the greatest and therefore not all contemporary players rate him as the greatest bowler they've ever faced.
Tendulkar is statistically superior to every batsman in the contemporary era therefore most contemporary bowlers rates him as the best batsman they've bowled to.
On the topic, yes, I think Amir was a great TALENT, not a great bowler yet. His greed put paid to his great potential and now he will forever be tainted no matter how many wickets he takes, that is, if he ever comes back and plays again. What a waste of potential!
Someone needs to look up the word talent. No one claimed he had as yet achieved great things. But no one can deny he was the greatest bowling talent to emerge for a long time
Amla is my role-model - cars112
you guys are so fond of stats then what happened in this thread? why now look factor beyond stats all of a sudden to defend aamir?
no one is gonna reply to this. i knew it already.
so who considered mcgrath to be greatest thing to emerge from aus?
that is my point as well. mcgrath turned out to be a great later on in his career. 14 test matches is not a benchmark at all to label some1 as a great, the greatest talent to emerge from subcontinent etc.
if irfan was to abandon cricket there itself after 14 tests then would people have considered him a great too?
jimmy adams ave 66.10 after 24 tests, if he had been caught in match fixing then would you all have considered him a great, or the greatest talent to emerge from carribbean?
no! indians and west indians didnt consider them greats or greatest talents to emerge from their countries b´coz they waited till the career expanded to further years.
pakistanis have a luxury of calling him the bradman of bowling coz he wont be playing next 4 years becoz of his deeds and if he fades after his comeback you guys will make excuses "o he was on a long break, no practice and thus his career has been ruined by salman butt".
a longer and prolonged career only exposes weaknessess and can mount to failures.
Why Kohli, Hussy & Sanga treat me like a Sadakchaap bowler? : Answer this and get iPhone 5 : Ajmal
Any team would die for to have an Aamir type talent in their team. That should tell you what you need to know.
It's okay guys. statsguru's idiotic replies have put paid to this thread.
Btw all people need to know is this : "Whinger 63% Loser 35% & 2 % Thread derailer / Thread spoiler."
"The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes."
Personaly this thread is the perfect reason for introducing a new PP award - Fail of the Week - FOTW.
So, let me get this straight. You are now AGREEING that the stats from the first 14 tests don't mean a thing.
That is, the stats in your OP mean diddly squat. They prove nothing. Nada. "We must wait for a longer period of time before using these stats."
Correct? Then, do you mind erasing your OP? Can we re-open this case 40 tests later? Or do you still want to embarrass yourself en masse?
As an FYI, no one on this forum believes in Aamir's great talent based on his 14 tests. They were fortunate enough to see him bowl to make that judgment.
1. You would pick Dinesh Mongia over Andy Flower? You are arguing that Mudassar Nazar was better than Gavaskar because he won the same amount of matches (with a higher average) in less games. If you can admit that you genuinely believe Mongia was better than Flower and Nazar was better and a bigger match winner than Gavaskar I'll believe that this is not a wind-up thread.
Nazar: http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/eng...;type=allround
Gavaskar: http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/eng...;type=allround
2. There is no correlation between cricketing talent and honesty. Since this is a a thread about cricketing talent I don't see honesty comes into it. Maybe you could find their individual stats on honesty and incorporate them into their bowling stats and then compare them?
I love this thread. Some of the Pakistani fans are getting owned nicely by Statsguru. Keep it up SG.
Debate aside, what a pathetic analysis.
Put away the stats and watch cricket, that's what I say.
If Amir had not improved one iota from the last match he played to the day he retired (less the spot-fixing of course) he still would have been a great, such was his level of skill and understanding of the game.
With coaches and ex-bowlers teaching him a few additional tricks, what he could have achieved is mind boggling. Would have been the greatest.
statsguru is an example of the typical indian nerd got his head stuck so far up his book(cricinfo stat's page) thinks he smart but when it comes to the real world most nerds simply can't hack it lack of communication skill etc, this thread being the perfect example.
imo cricinfo stats page was the biggest factor in all the Indian trolls coming out the closet.
a known fact most Indians believe in quantity over quality

Well said and end of the debate.
Did anyone watch Amirs Test spells in 2011 ? Especially in England.
Anyone who watched him without bias would say no doubt he was a special talent, and certainly had the potential to be a great.
Sadly he will not be, but some people are so thick that they can only look up stats to work out if someone is talented.
Last edited by 90MPH; 2nd May 2012 at 23:02.
Also Michael Holding was so astonished Amir learned so much in so little time.
In fact for me he was above Wasim Akram age wise because Akram was not swinging the ball early on in his career (Akram also had a high Test bowling average for a few year or 2 when he started) so for me it proves these stats prove nothing.
Quite satrangely this failed thread contaings mostly ur post. So if you are posting in a failed thread then you need your brain to be checked.
Dostnt matter what u see on Youtube, TV or whatever. Ultimately stats proves who the match winner is. It proves aamir is an overhyped guy.
Thanx bro. Finally to see some intelligent people here. Which is a rare case here.
Eh where did I contradict myself? Do you really know what contradiction means??? Have a bath with some cold water. That may help your brain cells.
Intrestingly no one has used Stats to prove me wrong. In aamir´s case people are only saying
Yes we have seen him on Tv, Youtube
Holding said this, Imran said that
But in other threads to degrade player like Rahul Dravid you bring in all factors such as Match winning Inngs, Runs scored in Won matches, Total wins etc... Shame on all hypocrites.
Why Kohli, Hussy & Sanga treat me like a Sadakchaap bowler? : Answer this and get iPhone 5 : Ajmal
Statsguru is running away.
He's not addressing substance with substance.
His contradictions have been exposed and he doesn;t have the courage to address them.
Bookmarking this thread for the future.
Keep blabbering, anyone who is not a biased Indian will know how much Talented he was including lots of Australian and English supporters.
Yet to see 1 talented bowler from India though, but that is a separate debate.
This is what I had posted earlier.
In those 14 matches:
IK Pathan averaged 47.22 vs teams excluding Zim and BD. In the matches against BD and Zim he took 27 wickets in 3 matches, at 12.03.
Md. Amir averaged 29.09 vs all, and 26.77 if you exclude NZ.
If you take out minnows, then Amir is almost twice better than Pathan.
With all humility and respect, Statsguru, I hope you wont scold me and call me an idiot,for replying to your post. If you do, then I do deserve it, and will still respect you.

West Seattle Hi-Yu Tea & Silent Auction: Five weeks from today
April 26, 2015 at 3:22 pm | In West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, West Seattle news | No CommentsFive weeks from today, you are invited to join West Seattle Hi-Yu in celebrating its Spring Tea and Silent Auction, featuring this year's Senior Court coronation. Hi-Yu volunteer Danette Carufel shares the photo and invitation:
Please join us at the West Seattle Hi-Yu Spring Tea and Silent Auction. It will be held on Sunday, May 31st, from 2-4:30 pm at The Hall at Fauntleroy. Enjoy great tea, company, and delicious food provided by caterers and businesses in our community as well as a fun silent auction to help raise funds for our scholarship program and building the float that represents West Seattle in parades throughout the Puget Sound. This year we will also be crowning the new West Seattle Hi-Yu Senior Court Queen. Tickets are $25 per person, or bring your friends and fill a table of 10 for $250. For reservations, call 206-935-6517 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com. Hope to see you there!
'Sound Respect': Button-design vote next for West Seattle Hi-Yu's 2015 theme honoring Puget Sound & what's in/around it
February 1, 2015 at 11:06 am | In West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, West Seattle news | Comments OffInspired by those two proposed float designs (backstory here), West Seattle Hi-Yu's 2015 theme is "Sound Respect" – as in, respecting and caring for Puget Sound – and the next step is choosing a button design. Like the float, it'll be chosen from community-generated designs brought to tomorrow night's Hi-Yu meeting:
The button design does not have to include any or all of the elements. Use your imagination. Draw several ideas, with color, in a circle that is the size of a Hi-Yu button (2″ across the center of a round button) … After the button design is selected, a graphic designer will make the necessary adjustments to refine it for the button to be printed and the buttons will then be made for the 2015 Hi-Yu Festival.
Hi-Yu buttons are sold at events throughout the summer as a fundraiser for the all-volunteer nonprofit. Tomorrow night's meeting is at 7 pm in the lower-level meeting room of Admiral Congregational Church (California/Hill).
West Seattle Hi-Yu: New float to combine two queens' designs; busy year previewed
January 5, 2015 at 10:48 pm | In West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, West Seattle news | 1 Comment(WSB photos)
When two rounds of voting were over at tonight's West Seattle Hi-Yu meeting – two proposed designs for this year's parade float were tied. In a subsequent vote, it was decided that the two designs – both with marine elements – will be combined, with the wording of the official theme/slogan to be worked out later.
The two winning themes were proposed by the two current Hi-Yu queens – Senior Court Queen Lorelei McFadden sketched out a float celebrating local nature and sustainability – even featuring one of Puget Sound's iconic orcas:
Toward the point of "sustainability," she pitched the fact that the theme could reuse much of the basic decor from last year's float. In the spirit of a "Save Our Sound" type of theme, it will be incorporated with elements of Junior Court Queen Emily Cain's design, which was anchored by a ferryboat:
Other designs proposed tonight by royalty past and present included a day at Alki Beach, a night at the movies, tropical rainforests, Seattle landmarks including Pike Place Market and the International District, and flowers.
Turning the design into reality is an all-volunteer effort that happens between now and late spring, when the float hits the road for a tour of parades starting in Sequim. Hi-Yu's new president Jay Murray suggested tonight that Hi-Yu might even be able to make it into the Daffodil Parade in Pierce County this year – an event that moves between four communities over the course of one day in April – by bringing back the 2014 design (an Alice in Wonderland Tea Party theme that also highlighted Hi-Yu's 80th anniversary).
The float is seen here in its home neighborhood every year during the Rotary Club of West Seattle-sponsored Grand Parade, which is on the Hi-Yu master 2015 schedule – reviewed tonight – for July 18th (though the date isn't final until parade organizers officially announce it later in the year).
Hi-Yu is also hoping this year to bring back what used to be a summertime tradition, the All-West Seattle Picnic in Lincoln Park. That would likely be in August, sometime after the Hi-Yu float's biggest appearance of the summer, the Seafair Torchlight Parade (July 25th this year, according to the Hi-Yu schedule grid).
More than 20 people attended tonight's meeting, from current and past organization leaders to new members, and Hi-Yu is hopeful of more volunteer help. They're also hoping to raise money via sponsorships from local service clubs who would be showcased on a covered-trailer for the float, which itself needs replacement, as a much-repaired '60s-era vehicle that is said to go through "a gallon of transmission fluid" per parade. And they'll soon finalize a full slate of new officers; longtime photographer Joanne Murray has been filling in with extra duties in the meantime. She also spoke tonight about Hi-Yu's plan for more community outreach, participating in events beyond the ones traditionally on their schedule; last month, for example, Hi-Yu joined in a West Seattle Art Walk event, and hopes to do so again as soon as next month.
Keep an eye on the website at westseattlehiyu.com for events and ways to join in, including the monthly meetings – next one 7 pm February 2nd at the regular meeting location, Admiral Congregational Church (4320 SW Hill).
Summer fun starts with winter volunteering! West Seattle Hi-Yu & you
January 4, 2015 at 12:56 pm | In West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, West Seattle news | Comments Off(WSB photo, July 2013: Hi-Yu float work behind the scenes – it's not just about parade waves!)
The arrival of January puts us midway between the last round of summer fun and the next one. Festivals, parades, concerts … none of it happens without a lot of planning and preparation, most if not all thanks to volunteers who are busy all year long. If you haven't jumped in to help yet – maybe this is your year. One of the first opportunities comes tomorrow night, as all-volunteer West Seattle Hi-Yu meets for the first time in 2015, with a big agenda item: Choosing this year's theme, the one you'll see on the parade float and benefit buttons. All are welcome, 7 pm at Admiral Congregational Church (4320 SW Hill, just west of California SW), and the announcement from new Hi-Yu president Jay Murray notes, "The new officers are excited with the possibilities of having wonderful events throughout the year for the community. Your participation will help to make it possible."
Two other/additional ways to get involved as the new year begins:
MEMBERSHIP: Support Hi-Yu by becoming a member, $20/year. (You can even pay online.) Money raised by the nonprofit organization not only supports the events it presents, but also scholarships for the Junior Court (just chosen!) and Senior Court (see below) who serve as its youth ambassadors each year.
SENIOR COURT APPLICATIONS: Students ages 17-22 will be able to apply soon, as applications will be made available for starters via local high schools and South Seattle College (WSB sponsor).
(WSB photo from 2014 West Seattle Grand Parade)
And a P.S. about the float, from Hi-Yu: "The budget for this upcoming year includes a covered trailer for the float. It will be possible to purchase one with the help of the West Seattle Service Clubs as sponsors with their logo printed on the sides of the trailer. This will allow our Hi-Yu float to be able to travel to parades more safely and with less set-up and take-down work for the parades, and advertise the service clubs." Thanks to Hi-Yu, West Seattle is the last city neighborhood with its own float. Last year (above), the theme honored Hi-Yu's 80th anniversary; in 2013 (top photo), it was "Alki Deep"; in 2012, "Secret Garden"; in 2011, "Sparkling Seattle"; in 2010, "Dreams Do Come True." This year? Be there tomorrow night!

July 27, 2014 at 4:21 am | In West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, West Seattle news | 6 Comments(Torchlight Parade photo courtesy West Seattle Hi-Yu)
Congratulations to West Seattle Hi-Yu for its award-winning appearance in Saturday night's Seafair Torchlight Parade. The craftsmanship and creativity that went into the 80th anniversary Hi-Yu float – which features a steam-emitting teapot – won the Seafair Workmanship Award. Hi-Yu's Denise Davis told us via Facebook, "Duane (Davis), the driver/builder, said the judges were beaming when they saw the teapot steaming and the cake spinning and the court members dancing to 'Welcome to my Tea Party'."
UPDATED P.S. Thanks to Hi-Yu for sharing the parade photos – look closely at the one above this line to see driver/designer Duane!
West Seattle Grand Parade 2014, report #4: Hi-Yu royalty
July 20, 2014 at 6:02 am | In West Seattle Grand Parade, West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, West Seattle news | 1 CommentIt's West Seattle Hi-Yu's 80th anniversary – so here's a separate look at their West Seattle Grand Parade appearance:
This year's contingent included the first male Hi-Yu royalty to appear in a West Seattle parade, Senior Court Prince Hang:
Last year's Senior Court queen, April Davis, is on the left below, riding with other participants in the Seafair Scholarship Program for Women – that coronation at next Saturday's Torchlight Parade downtown:
After their time on the parade route was done, this year's royalty gathered to watch the rest of the parade:
They're scheduled to be in the Torchlight Parade too. And if you know a young lady or gentleman who might want to be part of Hi-Yu next year … watch westseattlehiyu.com for information on how to apply.

West Seattle Big Band @ 2014 Hi-Yu Concert in the Park
July 15, 2014 at 7:17 pm | In West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, West Seattle news | Comments OffThat's a quick clip from "In the Mood," the Glenn Miller classic with which the West Seattle Big Band started tonight's annual Hi-Yu Concert in the Park. They're just a few songs in, so there's lots of time to get to the east lawn of Hiawatha (Walnut south of Lander) for the rest of the free concert – bring a chair or blanket, picnic if you want, and enjoy the music.
ADDED WEDNESDAY MORNING: More photos and video from the concert. It's a tradition for Hi-Yu royalty to speak to the crowd at intermission:
Their upcoming public appearances include Hiawatha Fun Fest on Friday afternoon and the West Seattle Grand Parade on Saturday. Meantime, WSBB's Jim Edwards, a former Hi-Yu president, and daughter Michelle Edwards, 2006 Hi-Yu Senior Court Queen, showed off the Orville Rummel Trophy for Outstanding Community Service that's been updated for this Saturday's parade (they're both part of the parade-coordination team too):
As reported here Monday night, this year, the trophy honors community volunteer/advocate Earl Cruzen, best known for West Seattle's murals, a project that expanded to include the Walking on Logs art installation. He's scheduled to ride with it in the parade.
Back to the concert – the band, with director Donn Weaver at left:
(We met a concertgoer who was excited to be there because she had been a student of Weaver's in high school!) Next, vocalist Sarah Ackers:
Still working on the video.

Just in case this isn't already on your calendar: A West Seattle summer-outdoor-music tradition is just one week away – 7 pm next Tuesday (July 15th), the West Seattle Hi-Yu Concert in the Park, featuring the West Seattle Big Band. Bring your family, friends, picnic dinner, blanket and/or chairs, and enjoy great music for free on the east lawn of Hiawatha Community Center (2700 California, but the concert area faces Walnut, to the east).

July 4, 2014 at 4:16 pm | In West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, West Seattle news | 1 Comment(Click picture for larger view)
Thanks to Jim Edwards for our first look at this year's West Seattle Hi-Yu float, participating in this year's Burien 4th of July Parade this afternoon. As seen in our earlier coverage, Hi-Yu Junior Court members were in today's West Seattle 4th of July Kids' Parade, minus float, but you'll be able to see the float and both Senior/Junior Court royalty (and volunteers!) two weeks from tomorrow in the West Seattle Grand Parade (for which Jim is longtime co-coordinator) – 11 am Saturday, July 19th, with an easy-to-remember route – California SW between Lander (north side of Hiawatha) and Edmunds (south end of The Junction).
Video: West Seattle Hi-Yu coronates Senior Court Queen Lorelei
May 18, 2014 at 5:51 pm | In West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, West Seattle news | 1 Comment5:51 PM: Coronated at this afternoon's West Seattle Hi-Yu Tea & Silent Auction: New Senior Court Queen Lorelei McFadden. (Added: Video of the announcement and the crowning of the Senior Court:)
She, Nina Coluccio, and Hang Thao (first male Senior Court candidate since Hi-Yu updated its rules) will reign over this summer's Hi-Yu events, including parade participation around the region aboard this area's last community-created float. Queen Lorelei is at center in our photo, with her predecessor April Davis at left, and Miss Seafair Emily Rio Barber. We'll be expanding this story later with more from this afternoon's Hall at Fauntleroy event.
ADDED 8:23 PM: Today's emcee was, from the Seafair Clowns, West Seattle-residing "Officer Lumpy" emceed:
Past royalty at the tea included the 2012 courts – Senior Court Queen Kayli Schulz and Junior Court Princess Elena Kline, Queen Thea Pulido, and Princess Amanda Elders:
And of course, there was tea, in beautiful china:
P.S. Our partners at The Seattle Times also had a photojournalist at the coronation; you can see their photo gallery here.
Got a spot for float work? West Seattle Hi-Yu is looking; plus, hear Senior Court candidates
May 6, 2014 at 2:10 pm | In West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, West Seattle news | Comments OffThat's a sketch of this year's West Seattle Hi-Yu parade float, as shown at last night's Hi-Yu meeting, and the organization is looking for someplace where they can work on it before parade season. That's one of the headlines from last night, at which the three Senior Court candidates read essays on which they're being judged, essays about their childhood dreams, written a week ago but not practiced – the video starts with introductions, with the reading starting about 3:40 in:
The judges were all West Seattle community leaders – Joe Gong, Dawn Leverett, and Mark Swanson:
Judges' evaluations will be figured into the results for who becomes this year's Hi-Yu Senior Court Queen or King, who will be coronated at the May 18th Hi-Yu tea (details in our story from last weekend). Also noted last night, rather than being part of another afternoon-tea event as in the past, the White Rose Ceremony featuring past and present royalty will be part of a Hi-Yu meeting in June. And this year's travel schedule will be minus one customary stop; Hi-Yu won't be taking the float to Fathoms O'Fun in Port Orchard, because there's a schedule conflict: The Seafair Pirates Landing on Alki is earlier this year, scheduled for June 28th, and West Seattle events take priority for Hi-Yu, so royalty and volunteers will be here instead of in Port Orchard.
P.S. So, do you happen to have or know of covered-garage space where Hi-Yu can work on the float? With electrical outlets? If you do, please let them know! There's contact information at westseattlehiyu.com.

West Seattle Hi-Yu: Community breakfast Saturday, float crowdfunding NOW
May 1, 2014 at 11:11 am | In How to help, West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, West Seattle news | Comments OffTwo things you can do to keep the West Seattle Hi-Yu tradition going strong: First, a crowdfunding campaign is under way to save the float – last community float in the entire city; as shown in WSB video above, the float is even featured in the Seafair Torchlight Parade every year. Does Ballard have a float? No. Capitol Hill? No. Wallingford? No. West Seattle? YES. But not without you! Here's the donation page.
Second: This Saturday (May 3rd), start your day with a buffet at the Hi-Yu Community Breakfast, 8 am-11 am at the Alki Masonic Center (40th/Edmunds), $6 adults, $3 for kids under 12. If you're there at 9:30 am, you'll see the three Hi-Yu Senior Court candidates (including Hi-Yu's first-ever male candidate!) present their judged talent performances.
P.S. This year's Senior Court coronation isn't far away, either – 2-5 pm Sunday, May 18th, at the Hi-Yu Spring Tea and Silent Auction. Ticket info's on the Hi-Yu website.

For more information or tickets, please contact Danette at 206-935-6517 or e-mail email@example.com. Hope to see you there!
Meet West Seattle Hi-Yu's 2014 Senior Court candidates!
March 14, 2014 at 1:29 pm | In West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, West Seattle news | 4 CommentsBack in October, we reported on West Seattle Hi-Yu's historic decision to open applications to male candidates for their Junior and Senior Court. As Hi-Yu gets ready for its Senior Court coronation, the candidates include the first-ever boy. 17-year-old Hang Thao is pictured (at this month's Hi-Yu meeting) with, at left, 17-year-old Lorelei McFadden and, at right, 19-year-old Nina Coluccio. Hang and Lorelei are seniors at the Arts and Academics Academy in White Center, while Nina is a student at South Seattle Community College (WSB sponsor). We'll find out who becomes Hi-Yu Queen or King at the coronation on May 18th.
Meet West Seattle Hi-Yu's newly coronated 2014 Junior Court!
December 9, 2013 at 9:05 pm | In West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, West Seattle news | 3 CommentsJust coronated during West Seattle Hi-Yu's holiday party at St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church: The new Hi-Yu Junior Court! In our photo, from left, are Queen Bianca Carufel, and Princesses Callie McFadden and Sadie Botuchis. The community group made some changes this year; instead of a mid-summer coronation during the Hiawatha Fun Fest, the application, judging, and coronation were moved to fall. Boys were also invited to apply for the first time, but the seven candidates at tonight's event were all girls. They were joined by the past Junior Court for this photo, also featuring 2011 Junior Court Queen Taylor Nichols (second from left), who emceed:
Next up – time to choose the Senior Court; applications are due December 20th, and you can find the form on the Hi-Yu website.
Tonight: North Delridge Neighborhood Council, West Seattle Hi-Yu
December 9, 2013 at 4:26 pm | In Delridge, West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, West Seattle news | Comments OffMissed the chance for a daily preview this morning – so before the evening rush, a quick mention of two events tonight: The North Delridge Neighborhood Council meets at 6:30 pm at Youngstown Cultural Arts Center (4408 Delridge Way SW), with the agenda including the upcoming opening of DESC's Cottage Grove Commons and some changes to the NDNC bylaws. Also, West Seattle Hi-Yu has its December meeting, potluck, holiday party, and Junior Court coronation all in one, 7 pm at the St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church Hall (California/Hanford).
West Seattle Hi-Yu royalty: No longer just for girls
October 21, 2013 at 1:01 pm | In West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, West Seattle news | 14 CommentsStopping by the West Seattle Hi-Yu table at the Fauntleroy Fall Festival on Sunday, we found out Hi-Yu has just announced a big change: Boys are now welcome to apply to be Hi-Yu royalty, as well as girls.
The full announcement is on the Hi-Yu website, along with this link to the Junior Court application (which will download as a Word doc). The application has to be in by November 5th; this year's Junior Court coronation is planned for the Hi-Yu Community Breakfast on November 9th. Girls and boys 8-12 years old are welcome to apply.
The Senior Court also will be open to both male and female candidates, and Hi-Yu says it'll announce the application period soon. The next royalty will be part of a milestone – Hi-Yu's 80th anniversary!
If you would like to get an application in person, Hi-Yu reps will be at the Hiawatha Community Center Halloween carnival this Friday night (one of the events are in the just-launched WSB Halloween Guide).
West Seattle Grand Parade countdown: Judy Pickens presented with Rummel Trophy
July 16, 2013 at 8:33 pm | In West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, West Seattle news | 5 CommentsWe're at the West Seattle Hi-Yu Concert in the Park, with the West Seattle Big Band serenading concertgoers on the east lawn at Hiawatha, and a few special guests – including Judy Pickens, above with WS Grand Parade co-coordinators Dave Vague (left) and Jim Edwards, who presented her with the Orville Rummel Trophy for Outstanding Service to the Community (named after Hi-Yu's founder). We'll add video and another photo or two later (plus a separate story about the concert), but Judy's key point was to urge people to find something "bigger than yourself." Her many years of service have included helping kids with reading and with a salmon-raising program that benefits not only the youth but also local waterways – particularly Fauntleroy Creek, where she is a watershed steward. The crowd here gave her a couple good rounds of applause, but please show your support for community volunteerism and cheer Judy as she goes by toward the end of this Saturday's Grand Parade (11 am start at California/Lander, heading south to California/Edmunds).
ADDED 11:19 PM: Listen in as Jim and Dave introduce Judy, and she offers words of thanks and wisdom:
Our parade countdown continues Wednesday!
Outdoor music Tuesday: West Seattle Hi-Yu Concert in the Park
July 14, 2013 at 10:28 pm | In West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, West Seattle news | 2 CommentsMore major summer events ahead this week – starting with Tuesday night's West Seattle Hi-Yu Concert in the Park. Bring a chair/blanket to the east lawn of Hiawatha Community Center/Park (the Walnut Avenue side) and enjoy the West Seattle Big Band at 7 pm Tuesday (July 16th). Hi-Yu royalty will be there – so, though the concert's free, bring a few dollars if you can and buy a button to support the city's last traveling community float (which you'll subsequently see in next Saturday's West Seattle Grand Parade). During a break in the music on Tuesday, you'll also get a chance to applaud this year's Orville Rummel Community Service Award honoree, local watershed advocate (and more) Judy Pickens, who will also be in the parade, with the trophy that's being presented Tuesday. Hope to see you at the concert Tuesday – it'll be a great way to cool down after a day that just might make it into the mid-80s.
West Seattle Grand Parade 2013 updates: Grand Marshal, Rummel Award winners; Hi-Yu request
July 2, 2013 at 2:05 pm | In West Seattle Grand Parade, West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, West Seattle news, West Seattle people | 9 CommentsThree updates today as the 2013 West Seattle Grand Parade, presented by American Legion Post 160, gets closer (11 am Saturday, July 20th). First, parade coordinators have announced the two community honorees who will lead the parade:
ANN ADKINS CHOSEN AS GRAND MARSHAL: Generations of swimmers at the West Seattle Y (longtime WSB sponsor) know Ann, who just retired after a very long run as its aquatics director, according to Josh Sutton from the Y:
During her almost forty years, tens of thousands of kids in West Seattle learned to swim and be safe around the water, thousands of seniors engaged in water exercise classes that kept them healthy and active, and hundreds of youth competed on the Y swim team, took lifeguarding classes and started their first job under Ann's tutelage.
Throughout, Ann has been an indefatigable leader, working within the community, the Y and with other organizations like the Arthritis Foundation and the Red Cross to ensure highly trained staff and volunteers leading high-quality programs at the Y. She does this quietly and without much need for fanfare. In addition, Ann and her husband Ron have lived in West Seattle since the 1970′s, raised their kids and grandkids, just west of the Junction.
We are so happy that Ann has been chosen as the Grand Marshal, and Y staff & volunteers look forward to celebrating with her as we walk the parade route this year!
JUDY PICKENS RECEIVES RUMMEL TROPHY: The Orville Rummel Award for Outstanding Service to the Community (named after the parade's founder and explained in this 2010 WSB report) goes to Judy Pickens:
Judy's decades of community service and advocacy have included a longrunning project bringing together education and environmental stewardship – Salmon in the Classroom, working with hundreds of local students and teachers every year (despite government budget cuts for program support) to raise salmon fry at schools, later released into Fauntleroy Creek, where Judy has long been a watershed steward, which in turn involves many other types of volunteer work. The other side of the salmon lifecycle sees her gathering volunteers to watch for returning spawners in the fall, after a popular annual drumming event at the creek overlook to call them home. Judy also currently edits the Fauntleroy Community Association newsletter, which is a beefy look at community news, the type that many community councils used to produce but seldom do any more.
Congratulations to Ann and Judy, who will be officially honored pre-parade during the West Seattle Hi-Yu Concert in the Park two weeks from tonight – 7 pm Tuesday, July 16th — on the east lawn at Hiawatha Community Center.
Speaking of Hi-Yu:
HI-YU SEEKING JUNIOR COURT 'ALUMS' FOR PARADE: That's this year's West Seattle Hi-Yu Summer Festival float, peering into the "Alki Deep." In this year's Grand Parade, a special group will march, according to this announcement Diane Szender asked us to share:
**** Calling all Past Hi-Yu Junior Court members ****
Come join in the tradition of carrying the Hi-Yu Banner and the Business Sponsor banner in front of the float during the West Seattle American Legion parade on Saturday, July 20th at 11 am. We'd love to have you participate in Hi-Yu reds and white, wearing your tiaras and Hi-Yu sashes. If you'd like to join in, please call 206 932-1704 for more details.
More parade previews in the days ahead! It starts at 11 am July 20th from California/Lander in the Admiral District, proceeding down California to SW Edmunds in The Junction (see the route on the parade website) – following the second annual West Seattle Float Dodger 5K. The parade also continues to welcome donations to help defray the costs of permits and signage.
No West Seattle Hi-Yu Junior Court coronation during Hiawatha Fun Fest this year
June 29, 2013 at 7:41 pm | In West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, West Seattle news | 11 CommentsWhile the West Seattle Hi-Yu float is in Port Orchard tonight for the Fathoms O'Fun parade, Hi-Yu leaders have had to make another tough decision: They say the traditional Junior Court Coronation will NOT be happening during this year's Hiawatha Fun Fest on July 19:
The 2013 Board has decided that we are not able to select a Junior Court for 2014 during this year's Summer Festival. We have been unable to line up enough nominees for the 2014 Board. Without adequate leadership for the Hi-Yu Summer Festival, we can't assure a great experience for Junior Court members in 2014. If we are able to fill the open 2014 Board positions, then the Junior Court Coronation will be rescheduled (likely in the Fall). … We are sorry for the girls that have been looking forward to the event and the possibility of serving on the Junior Court. If you would like information about open positions on the Board and their responsibilities, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
You can also find out more about being part of Hi-Yu by going to the general meeting this Monday (July 1st), 6:30 pm at St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church (California/Hanford).
Pop-up pond and first-time fishing with West Seattle Sportsmen's Club and Hi-Yu
June 1, 2013 at 9:15 am | In West Seattle Hi-Yu Festival, West Seattle news | 3 CommentsJust before the 8 am whistle blew and fishing began at the annual West Seattle Sportsmen's Club Kids' Fishing Pond, all eyes were on the collection of bamboo poles prepared for the young participants (14 and under). Then it was off to the trout-stocked temporary pond:
Good turnout right from the start in the morning sunshine, so if you're going, don't wait – it's happening till 11 am, first 100 kids or as long as the fish last, at Seacrest (1660 Harbor Avenue SW). And while you're there, say hi to Hi-Yu royalty:
Junior Court Princess Emily was the first one there. Hi-Yu would also love to see you at next Monday night's general meeting, as they gear up for the heart of the summer event season – 6:30 pm June 3rd, St. John the Baptist Church Hall, California/Hanford.

eToro is a Cyprus based social trading company that allows its users to watch the financial trading activity of other users and copy them. Clients allow their trades to be uploaded to the eToro network where they can be displayed in a number of statistical ways, such as by the amount of profit made. Other users can then set their accounts to follow these traders, in which case the eToro system will duplicate each trade made in the followers account.
eToro provides its social network for traders trading online financial services such as forex, commodities and stock indices through its own electronic trading platform so that it can record and place trades for its users. eToro's competitors include Tradeo and ZuluTrade.
eToro was founded in 2007 in Tel-Aviv, by brothers Yoni Assia and Ronen Assia together with David Ring.[1] eToro's founders wanted to make the world of financial investment accessible to everyone through the company's initial financial trading platform, which was a download only product, incorporating graphic trading visualizations which conceptualized the trading process as a race between currencies or a currency tug of war.[2] Later the company expanded its product offering by launching a professional trading application, "Expert Mode", and a web based trading platform "WebTrader".[3]
In 2010 eToro launched the eToro OpenBook social investment platform, along with its "Copy-Trading" feature. The eToro OpenBook enables investors to view, follow and copy the network's top traders automatically.[4] In 2011, eToro launched its first Android apps so investors could buy and sell stock via mobile devices.[5]
Between 2007 and 2013 the company raised $31.5 million in four rounds of funding to help it expand the business.[6][7][8]

Walk to the back of what seems like a store front into a pretty, light room. Great wine list and service; interesting seasonal menu. Directions: down at the bottom of Corso Cavour. What a fantastic meal we had! I started with an angel hair type pasta "a la rustica" with eggplant and small tomatoes and a little dollop of wonderful buffalo ricotta while Ken had gnocchetti with a smoked goose ragu. Then Ken had faraona (guinea hen) cooked in beer and I had pork filets with oranges and almonds. My dish was the star! We drank a Montefalco Rosso from Caprai and loved it. The bill was 63 euro.

Purifying water by boiling it sounds simple, but start-up firm knows it's hard
Posted by David Brooks | Thursday, January 31, 2013
I forgot to link to my own column this week, so here it is - a profile of a local startup that's trying to develop a self-enclosed water purification system based on distillation (boiling water, then condensing the steam).
Aside from the technology, the most interesting part of the story to me was the fact that the main inventor has been working on it for more than 15 years and is still at least a year away from a prototype. I would never have that much stick-to-it-iveness and/or self-confidence, even if I had a good-enough idea for a startup.

A Prophetic Look at 2012
Startling prophetic events took
place during 2011, especially with Islam, disasters and the
world economy. Many of these disasters, I was able to tie
directly to events with Israel. The Japanese earthquake and
the Joplin tornadoes are the prime examples. If the nations
continue to come against Israel and promote the homosexual
agenda, there is no reason to think the events will slow down
during 2012. The events are now escalating towards the Day of
the LORD.
Based on the prophetic word of
God, this is what I see could take place in 2012. The Arab
uprising is not even a year old, and yet the Muslim
Brotherhood has already taken over many Arab states. All the
Arab states around Israel are going to create an Islamic
caliphate with the immediate target being the destruction of
Israel. They will want to destroy Israel and make Jerusalem
the capital of this caliphate. The move to create this union
will accelerate during 2012. Any type of military action by
Israel will also accelerate this union.
Tremendous pressure is coming on
Jordan as the Muslim Brotherhood is gaining support. Jordan is
the key in this caliphate, as the Bible shows Jordan is going
to become one of Israel's leading enemies. Jordan is going to
turn against Israel. If it happens during 2012, it is a sign
that war is very near.
As Iran grows closer to
obtaining a nuclear weapon, the greater the chance for war
between Israel and Iran. Israel has no choice but to attack
Iran to destroy its nuclear weapons program. This war will
unite Islam against Israel and could overnight bring the
caliphate together. On January 1, Obama signed into law severe
economic sanctions against Iran. These sanctions go into
effect the first week of March. Iran said the sanctions are an
act of war. In response, Iran said it will close the Straight
of Hormuz to shipping, which will cripple the world's oil
supply. The US stated, it will not allow Iran to do this. The
potential for war is great this Spring. It appears that 2012
is the year for this war as time has run out.
If the US backs Israel in the
war or initiates the attack against Iran, it will be to defend
Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is terrified of a nuclear Iran.
Iran is Shiite Muslim while Saudi is Sunni. These two fought
vicious wars to control Islam with the Sunnis winning. Iran is
now moving to control Islam and Saudi Arabia is the in way.
Iran would use the threat of nuclear weapons against Saudi
Arabia to gain control of Islam. Obama loves the Sunnis, if he
is not one! He will protect the Sunnis and use protecting
Israel as the cover. I have no doubt of this.
The Middle East is ripe for the
all-out war that is described in Psalm 83 and by so many of
the prophets. The time has arrived as the caliphate is forming
and Iran is on the verge of nuclear weapons. It is not, if the
war will start but when. Watch events involving Jerusalem, as
it is a possible that the war will start over Jerusalem. If
the war does not start over Jerusalem, it could ignite a
smoldering fire into the all-out war.
The world economy is about to
melt down. Watch the EU to melt down in direct coinciding with
trying to force Israel to divide the land. Based on all that I
have documented in the last 20 years, God is going to bring
down the world economy in direct connection to dividing
Jerusalem. There is no hope for the world economy, as it is
under the direct judgment from the Holy God of Israel.
There were incredible disasters
connected to the nations touching Israel. I would expect the
same to continue into 2012. The disasters will coincide with
the nations violating God's prophetic word for Israel. There
has been nonstop volcanic activity all over the world, and it
is possible that there will be major eruptions this year. If
the EU comes against Israel, watch the volcanoes in Iceland as
a major eruption would devastate Europe.
As America goes deeper in
national sin, the West Coast is in great danger. There have
been numerous major earthquakes all over the Pacific rim of
fire but not on the West Coast. The West Coast is now LONG
OVERDUE for huge earthquakes. This could be the year, as the
homosexual agenda continues to advance.
If all these events converge, it
could appear to the world's population as Armageddon. The war
in the Middle East has the potential to kill millions, destroy
entire nations and create millions of refugees. The war would
drive the price of oil skyward and crush the already fragile
world economy. The combination of this horrific war over
Israel, the world-wide social unrest from the economic
collapse and mega disasters will lead people to think that it
is Armageddon. In addition, there are numerous movies and
stories about the world ending in 2012. If events break like
this in 2012, it is very possible that people who are not
grounded in God's prophetic word will think it is Armageddon.
I do believe that in this coming
war that Islam is going to be defeated. The end time religion
will be paganism and not Islam. A military leader from Europe
could be the one who defeats Islam. He would be looked upon as
a savior. A world government will form to put the economy and
nations back together. This "savior" will have the ideas to
create peace. He will call for a world religion to end
religious wars. He will want to merge all the religions into
one. The masses of people will follow him, and he is none
other than the Beast of Revelation 13 or better known as the
I cannot say for sure that all
this is going to start in 2012. What I can say is that time is
running out. How much time is left until Israel and Iran are
at war? How much time before the Islamic caliphate is formed?
How much time is left for the world economy? I believed that
the end time events described throughout the Bible are now
coming into clear focus. The world is looking for a human
savior and not the Lord Jesus from heaven. They will get a
savior, but he is nothing more than a deception to trap
multitudes into perdition. The world has nothing to look
forward to but the antichrist and Armageddon!
We look to heaven for the coming
of the Lord Jesus for His church. From any angle we look,
there is not much time left. Use the remaining time wisely to
grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. What you
do now for the Lord will carry over into eternity. Do not hold
back, but go full speed for the LORD.
May the Holy God of Israel bless
and protect you.
3:20,21 For our conversation (citizenship) is in
heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the
Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body,
that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body,
according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue
all things unto himself.
world is now primed for the
end of the world in 2012. I think that 2011 was just
a prelude to what is coming in 2012.Suddenly,
everyone is talking about the End of the World

He remembers Nebraska fans giving him hell again, the serve and volley of the usual grief. The Omaha kid, back in Lincoln, always trying to get the last word. In high school, Josh Jones had won three state titles at the Devaney Center. Technically, it was the Cornhuskers' building, but it was also his house.
"It's kind of an in-state thing," Creighton's senior guard explains. "I'm kind of jawing with the fans, and just doing my mental preparations for the game, (and) my heart starts, like, speeding up, the way (it goes when) I get excited."
He remembers getting light-headed in layup lines. He remembers his eyesight going funny. He remembers feeling slightly dizzy.

Leytonstone is a London Underground station on the Central line, on the boundary of Zones 3 and 4. Towards London the next station is Leyton, while going east from Leytonstone, the line divides into two branches. On the direct route to Woodford and Epping the next stop is Snaresbrook, and on the Hainault loop it is Wanstead.
The station was opened by the Eastern Counties Railway on 22 August 1856. In turn it became, from 1862, part of the Great Eastern Railway system and then in 1923 part of the London & North Eastern Railway before being transferred to London Transport in 1947. This formed part of the "New Works Programme 1935 - 1940" that was to see major changes at Leytonstone with the station becoming the junction of the existing Epping branch, newly electrified, with the new tube tunnel running under Eastern Avenue towards Newbury Park. This work saw a complete reconstruction of the station along with the removal of the level crossing at Church Lane and its replacement by an underbridge. The work stopped in May 1940 due to wartime priorities; further delays were caused by the station buildings being hit by a German bomb in January 1944. During the war, the new tunnels were used as an aircraft component factory; the part closest to Leytonstone was a public air-raid shelter.[4]
The station was first served by the Central line on 5 May 1947 when it became the temporary terminus of the line, passengers changing on to steam shuttle onwards to Epping. This ceased on 14 December 1947 with the extension of Underground services to Woodford and Newbury Park.
Notable events[edit]
In honour of the centenary of the birth of film director Alfred Hitchcock (born 13 August 1899 in Leytonstone), the London Borough of Waltham Forest commissioned the Greenwich Mural Workshop to create a series of mosaics of Hitchcock's life and works in the tube station. Work was started in June 2000 and unveiled 3 May 2001.
The station today[edit]
The station has three platforms. The centre platform is generally used for through services going westbound, but can be used to terminate trains from both directions. However, due to the configuration of the tracks, trains going eastbound from this platform can only access the Epping branch. Trains needing access to the Hainault branch can do so by shunting west of the station, and then running into the normal eastbound platform via a crossover.
London Buses routes 66; 145; 257; 339; W13; W14; W15; W16; W19 and night route N8 serve the tube and bus station.

VMWare Guest O/S support
Are Symantec looking to increase the support of the VMWare Guest O/S for the different varients of Linux, at present 7.x supports RHEL & SUSE but not Centos or Ubuntu, when adding these to a VMWare FlasBackup policy it complains about not being able to create snapshots for clients with these particular Operating Systems.
Comments 3 Comments • Jump to latest comment
Hi Kevin,
NBU supports virtual machine backup for any OS supported by VMWare regardless of whether we support it or not so you can recover the whole VM, however, if you want to do granular recovery (i.e. restore individual files from a VMDK backup) then that is only offered for RH and SUSE currently.
I will check if we have plans to extend this to other operating systems and come back to you.
Jason Dowzell
UK Information Management Practice Head
Symantec UK Ltd
Hi Jason,
Many thanks for the response, it looks like a configuration issue on my side, if I select the clients using the VM Display Name I get the issue with the SnapShot error; however if I use the VM Hostname this then functions correctly, I will have a word with our VM admin and see why the hostnames are different to the display names.

24-karat iPad? Oh please, we've seen way too expensive iPad's.
People did some pretty crazy stuff to buy the iPad when it first hit the stores. Some even sold their kidneys to get an iPad, yes seriously. It's that expensive. Although, for some people it's not expensive enough to brag. Good thing the company Amosu came up with the idea of making this 24-karat gold iPad, the faith in richy rich people has been restored.
This gold iPad is available in several versions. The 64GB iPad 3 with Wifi + 4G
will set you back £2800 which is about $4,300 USD. Only special thing this iPad have other than the gold cover is the Apple logo made out of Swarovski crystals. A gold iPod is also available there, but it doesn't have a Swarovski Apple logo.
So, are you interested?

Emails - push/fetch
I know everyone is a couple weeks ahead of me as I just picked up my phone last night. I am coming from a BB Tour which was an awesome phone in terms of email accounts and management. I've read/heard that there will be a difference with the iphone and expect that but there's something I'm still a little confused about.
I am a heavy "emailer", I work full time, which we use a gmail account for. I also help manage my husband's business which uses a separate email account AND I also have 2 other email addresses that I maintain. So in total I have 4 email accounts that I need to set up. I've read that heavy emails pushing can cause battery drainage BUT how to I specify which I fetch and which are push?
I mainly need my work email right away but I've noticed it has a major delay, almost 5 minutes...is this normal? I guess I'm so used to my fast BB emails! -
If your work email is your Gmail account, just set it up as an exchange account. Instant push. You'll find the how-to on the easy setup on the blogs. It was posted yesterday or the day before I believe. My gmail accounts push great.
Don't listen to people that say that it affects battery life. It doesn't.Formerly forever29 & Heisenberg

Okay I will try that but what goes into the server field?
This was the tip of the day on the tipb blog on Feb 16. All the needed settings are explained in that post.

Yup! I found it after the fact, thanks!
I am coming from a Blackberry too, just as the OP and was wondering if you can have 2 Exchange accounts on your iPhone? I have a Gmail Account which I use for personal and my work email goes through an Exchange Server. I am hoping to be able to set-up the Gmail calendar as default while the Work contacts and emails would be default.
The main problem I have been trying to figure out is the contact groups, but that is a whole other question. Thanks! - 02-20-2011, 09:30 AM #7
Yes you can and Groups.
Yes you can have Multiple Exchange accounts set up. I currently have three, Two for my business, and one for my personal account. In addition to that I also have a Mobileme Account set up for Contacts and Calendars.
The iPhones keeps multiple accounts separate, hence the different groups that you see in your 'contact' and 'calendar' Apps. In your 'contacts' it gives you the option to 'View contacts from ALL accounts in one window, regardless of the account they're being synced from.' The second option is to only view contacts in the respective Account/Server that they are being synced from. This feature is great to use as a filtering method to distinguish between the groups of contacts you want to look at at any given time.
The Calendar also does something similar, it will give you the option to view all calendars from all servers in one window. And it also give you the option to view them in their respective Group/Account/Server. -
