The Goodenow Family Association, Inc. is a group of families descended from five Goodenows who immigrated from England in 1638 on the ship Confidence and settled in Sudbury, Massachusetts. The name is spelled various ways including Goodenough, Goodnough, Goodno, and Goodnow among others.
The Association, formed in 1988, publishes a quarterly newsletter, Goodenows' Ghosts, which shares news, history and lineage information about Goodenows worldwide. Back issues are available for purchase. GFA's hardcover book, Goodenows who Originated in Sudbury, Massachusetts 1638 A.D., by Theodore James Fleming Banvard (1994) was awarded second place in the 1995 Anna Ford Book Contest by the Heart of America Genealogical Society and Library, Inc.
The first 4 generations of Goodenows descended from the immigrants to Sudbury are presented on this site. The Goodenow database, containing more than 48,000 names, may be queried by e-mailing the database manager.
For the first time ever, a digital copy of the full GFA database is available for purchase, by GFA members only, for $50.
You have a choice of digital medium: (1) a USB flash drive, (2) a CD, or (3) a DVD. You must also select from two different genealogy database formats: (1) in Legacy Family Tree, or (2) as a GEDCOM file.
The contents of each flash drive, CD or DVD will include: the primary database of 65,936 listings; a secondary database of persons not (yet) connected to the immigrants, with 3,055 listings; and two presentations made at the 2014 reunion Hal Cutlers Puritans Make A Village presentation and Robert Goodenoughs presentation on Bob Goodenow.
NOTES: (1) No software is included; purchaser is responsible for acquiring needed software. Free versions are available for both Legacy Family Tree and GEDCOM; to access full capabilities of Legacy Family Tree, users must purchase the Deluxe version. (2) For technical reasons, we cannot guarantee that 100% of the Notes in the Legacy Family Tree file will be transferred intact into GEDCOM.
The GFA is planning a week-long Return to Our Roots trip to England in July 2015. The Association wishes to invite any GFA member or friend who has an interest in the origins of the settlers of Sudbury Plantation to join them.
Wiltshire and Dorsetshire sites to be visited include Ebbesbourne Wake (home of John Goodenow, the grandfather of the Immigrants); Donhead St. Andrew Church (attended by Capt Edmund Goodenow the Immigrant, and the parents of the Immigrants, Thomas and Ursula); Southampton (the port from which the Immigrants sailed to the New World in 1638); Donhead St. Mary Church; Wardour Castle; Stonehenge; Old Sarum and Salisbury Cathedral; etc.
The trip will be organized by Hal and Betsey Cutler who led similar GFA trips to England for 75 people in 1996 and 22 people in 2007. The Cutlers are seeking immediate expressions of interest in the trip so that plans, including costs, may be firmed up during the next couple of months. Firm commitments will be requested in February or March 2015, when definitive plans and costs are available. If you are interested in participating in the trip, please contact Hal Cutler by phone at 978-443-2525 or by email at "hcutlercfpe at verizon.net".
Reunions are held every other year at various places associated with the Goodenows.
The 2014 biennial reunion held in Grand Rapids, Michigan in July was a great success! See the August 2014 Reunion issue of Goodenow's Ghosts for a recap or visit our Facebook page.
Reunion t-shirts are still available. Anyone is welcome to order a shirt with the GFA logo on it, whether or not you attended the reunion. However, DO NOT SEND MONEY at this time, as we need to have a minimum order of 20 shirts.

'Auring' disrupts opening of classes in New Bataan
More News from Frinston L. Lim
More News from Inquirer Mindanao
NEW BATAAN, Compostela Valley—The resumption of classes in this typhoon-devastated municipality hit a snag Thursday after Tropical Depression "Auring" dumped heavy rains and forced hundreds of families to evacuate overnight.
Elsewhere in Compostela Valley and Davao Oriental, classes resumed after being shut down on Dec. 4 in the aftermath of Typhoon "Pablo," according to Department of Education (DepEd) officials.
Thursday's school opening in most of the two provinces followed visits by Education Secretary Armin Luistro to public elementary and secondary schools in Davao Oriental.
In Compostela Valley, Education Undersecretary Yolanda Quijano said she allowed classes in New Bataan to resume by Monday as hundreds of families near riverbanks left their homes overnight due to the threat of new flooding. However, classes will resume today if the weather is good, she said Thursday.
Classes in the towns of Compostela and Monkayo have already resumed, in tents or repaired schools.
Quijano, accompanied by provincial and town education officials, also visited the damaged schools in Andap village, the worst-hit area in New Bataan. Quijano said she was touched by the children who showed up at the schools.
"We want to bring back normalcy to the children's education," said Quijano.
Nenita Lumaad, the DepEd head in Compostela Valley, said teachers who had undergone psycho-social training would include stress debriefing in their school activities.
The education department will acquire 200 tents in addition to the 56 already set up in Davao Oriental, according to architect Ching Segovia of the DepEd central office. She said each tent, worth P80,000, can accommodate up to 40 students. She said the DepEd wants to have the tents within 45 days.

The robust reliable H∞ control problem for discrete-time Markovian jump systems with actuator failures is studied. A more practical model of actuator failures than outage is considered. Based on the state feedback method, the resulting closed-loop systems are reliable in that they remain robust stochastically stable and satisfy a certain level of H∞ disturbance attenuation not only when all actuators are operational, but also in case of some actuator failures. The solvability condition of controllers can be equivalent to a feasibility problem of coupled linear matrix inequalities (LMIs). A numerical example is also given to illustrate the design procedures and their effectiveness.

Lawmakers keep vehicle perk
Their wheels include a $55,000 Cadillac sedan and a $52,000 Lexus hybrid.
Senate Minority Leader Bob Dutton, a Republican from Rancho Cucamonga, said he believes the current system is cheaper than reimbursing legislators for each mile they drive, but also said the program should be re-evaluated as lawmakers look for areas to cut costs.
"There's a lot of things that need to be looked at, and we could revisit this as well," said Dutton, who drives a 2005 Chevy Tahoe under the program.
Taxpayers spent $3.5 million to buy the 99 vehicles lawmakers use when they visit their home districts.
The 80-member Assembly spent another $1.4 million to buy 49 Toyota Camry Hybrids for 51 lawmakers who live far from the state capital and use the vehicles when they are in Sacramento. The Senate, which has 40 members, spends an additional $81,000 a year to lease 25 vehicles for senators' use in Sacramento.
Their rides range from a $9,900 2004 Toyota Prius to a $55,000 Cadillac STS. The state spent an average of $35,250 on vehicles lawmakers use in their districts.
Lawmakers pay a percentage of their vehicle's cost — 10 percent for less expensive vehicles and more for higher-end models — through a payroll deduction. Taxpayers pick up the rest while also paying the gasoline costs for lawmakers, who are given state-issued charge cards.
The Legislature buys the vehicles outright, then leases them to lawmakers at a state-subsidized rate. The Legislature determines the amount lawmakers must pay above the monthly vehicle allowance, if any, and deducts that from their paychecks.
The amount lawmakers contribute varies greatly, depending on the cost of the vehicle they choose. Assemblywoman Lori Saldana, D-San Diego, contributed $31.02 a month toward her 2005 Honda Accord hybrid before leaving office. Assemblyman Jim Nielsen, R-Yuba City, paid $397.10, toward his 2009 Ford Edge.
Under reductions approved last year by a state compensation commission, the maximum the state will contribute toward a lawmaker's vehicle was reduced to $287 from $350 in the Senate and to $328 from $400 in the Assembly.
The most expensive vehicles are used by two Southern California Democrats. Sen. Ron Calderon of Monterey Park drives a $54,830 2006 Cadillac STS while Sen. Gil Cedillo of Los Angeles uses a $52,235 2007 Lexus LX 400H hybrid.
Calderon likes an American-made car roomy enough to ferry staff members to events around his district, said spokesman Bob Jimenez.
Because the state's monthly payments are capped, Calderon, Cedillo and other lawmakers who choose expensive cars pay the difference out of their pockets.
"The taxpayers aren't being burdened with him driving a Cadillac any more than they are with a lawmaker driving a Prius," Jimenez said.
Even so, those lawmakers reimburse the state for just a fraction of the vehicle's purchase price.
Cedillo, for example, pays the state $373.64 a month to lease his 2007 Lexus, or $4,483 per year. If he continued paying that amount for his entire four-year Senate term, Cedillo will have reimbursed the state a total of $17,934, or 34 percent of the vehicle's total purchase price.
Most states reimburse lawmakers' mileage for official business. Arizona, Nevada and Pennsylvania allow their state lawmakers to check out motor pool vehicles for official trips, while Florida and Minnesota let them use rental cars. New York and the New Jersey Assembly (but not its Senate) provide vehicles only for their top leadership.

There's a lot to read on the subject and I've read a good bit of it. I've also had a parachute deployed on a 46' ketch in a mess of weather and sea outbound to Antigua from Morehead City in the Gulf Stream in 1971 - my observations were constant chafe issues and bending of the sampson post. The stresses are scary. The ketch also tended to skate around at anchor in a wind so she had a good bit of forward windage which added to difficulty of keeping her angled off (ala Lin/Larry Pardy.) After that experience and several less threatening experiences, we are fitting chainplates to our quarters to accomodate a JSD for our 33,000# 50' cutter. Spent a good bit of time talking to Para T and others prior to the decision.

I agree with not telling him you want to divorce him while he's deployed. My DH's ex cheated on him the entire deployment, she never told him, but whoa did he get a surprise when he came home 9ish months in. The last chance is probably a good idea. You'll know then if he's going to change.
I would say it may be a good idea to mention to him that your feeling neglected though. Remind him that he has 3 other kids (if he wants to adopt them, he should be counting your older 2 as his!) and that they miss daddy. I'd keep it casual, and not get up in arms about it though (granted that may be the old "don't start fights while they're gone" attitude in me still speaking, but I tend to stand by it!). Once he's back though, its time to lay it all on the line. Tell him exactly how this made you feel and that you're not willing to put up with it. He doesn't get to shove you all to the side when SD skypes/calls or favor her over the others in reguards to gifts. If he wants to do that, then he's not treating your kids right and doesn't deserve to have you or them in his life.
I agree with all of you. I just talked to an old friend and her ex and SD were the exact same. She told me the same thing about an ultimatum. She said he never changed so it just proved to her that leaving was the best idea. I definitely do not menttion any stressful things to my DH while he is away. I just hope his talk about change is true because he sure isn't doing it now. My friend mention that if he could give SD special time then he needs to do it with all three and not just expect to talk to them because I have them.
5mknie his ex actually slept with his best friend during his first deployment. So not very good. SD was only 2 when he got back and they divorced. She's 9 now. Another reason why I would never ever mention leaving til after he gets home.

Kurt Busch to make No. 78 debut
Despite a misunderstanding with NASCAR on Sunday, Kurt Busch will make his debut in the No. 78 Furniture Row Chevrolet this weekend at Charlotte Motor Speedway as planned.
OUT OF CONTROLThings got out of hand - again - at Talladega. PHOTOS.
Busch was leading the Good Sam 500 at Talladega Superspeedway when his car ran out of fuel and he was hit from behind. The driver removed his helmet and climbed from the car to check whether it was still drivable. Busch ascertained the car could continue, jumped back in and drove off while unbeknownst to him NASCAR had directed him to stop.
NASCAR immediately called Busch to its hauler and parked the No. 51 Chevrolet for the remainder of the race. Considering that Busch is under probation from incidents at Darlington Raceway in May and Dover International Speedway in June, it was questionable to what extent NASCAR might choose to punish the driver. However, no further penalties are planned as a result of the incident.
Busch, the 2004 Sprint Cup Series champion, is looking to make a fresh start with the Denver-based race team owned by Barney Visser. Busch parted ways with Penske Racing at the end of the 2011 season, concluding a six-year tenure that included 10 victories and four Chase for the Sprint Cup appearances. He optimistically joined James Finch's Phoenix Racing at the start of 2012 and won one Nationwide Series race at Daytona while coming close to victories at Talladega in the spring and Sonoma in June.
Busch is currently 26th in driver points. He joins Furniture Row, which currently ranks an all-time best 23rd in the points standings. Veteran crew chief Todd Berrier joined the organization at the end of July and former driver Regan Smith went on to score one top-five and three top-10 finishes.

EZSolution™ Radio Altimeter Cable Assemblies
Erroneous Radio Altimeter (Rad Alt) height indications are a frequent nuisance for flight crews and a costly problem for flight operations. More often than not, these spurious warnings are due to water ingress into the Rad Alt coax cables and/or Rad Alt antenna itself. The typical maintenance procedure to correct this problem has been to replace the antennas or the antenna cables every time a fault occurs!. To address this issue, CarlisleIT has developed the EZSolution ™ Rad Alt Cable... (read more)

- I was skeptical buying a domain outside of an escrow service or third party, but I chose to pay huge domains directly and was blown away by how fast they processed the order and gave me the domain. I had the domain in my account within a few hours and had moved it to Godaddy for registration within 24 hours (most of that was spent by me deciding if I wanted to void the 30 refund period and just move the domain early). The domain was also about $500 cheaper buying directly through them than what Godaddy had it listed on their Auctions website.

Jesse James: Kat Von D Is Better in Bed than Sandra Bullock
Although we've come to expect no less, Jesse James has hit an all time low on the scum scale. He recently told Howard Stern that Kat Von D outperforms Sandra Bullock in the bedroom by 100 fold, according to E Online.
This after James told ABC's 'Nightline' that he secretly wanted to be exposed for his infidelity during his marriage with Bullock.
"I think I wanted to get caught," he explains on the show, airing tonight. "It was me trying to self sabotage my life."
James also opened up about losing his relationship with Bullocks son, Louis.
"I could cry so much about [Louis] until I have to suck it up and keep a stiff upper lip and realize, hey, [there are] three kids that I do have ... I've never seen Louis since everything."
But Louis' absence from the tattooed chop shop star's life is one thing he can count on -- especially after his comments comparing Bullock and Von D sexually. James took to Stern's radio show earlier this morning and was more than candid, talking about his sex-life with both his finacée and his ex.
If anybody can get celebs comfortable talking about what goes on behind closed doors, it's Stern. James told the magician of information that sex with Von D is '100 percent' better than that with Bullock.
And although he's not apologizing for his recent comments, he did tell 'Nightline' he was sorry for his initial transgressions -- oh and he's got something positive to offer society.
"Just because I cheated on my wife and got busted for it, and it became a whole media s--tstorm, it doesn't mean that I'm not valuable. I'm sorry it happened. I'm sorry it went down the way it did, but I forgive myself and now I can move on."
That great, but we're pretty sure we don't forgive you.

Jeez, It sucks how media turns everything upside down.. i listened to Howard this morning, all he stated is that sex between is different. Kat could get into his mind while having sex, he's never had that therefore, its AMAZING.
- Wednesday 04 MayBy Pamela
Isn't it really irrelevant that he didn't explicitly say who was better in bed? The fact that he talked about it at all, is revolting. The man has no respect for ANY woman, let alone his ex-wife. The fact that he jumps from one relationship immediately into another speaks alot about his personality. I used to have some respect for him when he was just a businessman, not doing or saying things for publicity.

- Wednesday 04 MayBy Evie
How trashy and low can you get? Shows Jessie definitely married way up high when Sandra even gave him a second look. He should have considered himself lucky to marry such a lady, to have a wonderful woman coparent with him, and for her to openly say she loved him. Although it may have been a painful experience for Sandra Bullock, it is definitely for the best. She deserves so much better than this piece of crap. Sadly, his children still have to keep him around. Jessie, sounds like you haven't gotten over being dumped!

Well...just when you think someone can't sink any lower. He says he accepts responsibility, but obviously he doesn't - he's still trying to make excuses for his lack of decency. And as for Kat Von D? Need anyone say more? Two peas in the proverbial pod.

The Fast and the Furious
What parents need to know
Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that this is as close to an R as it can be and remain a PG-13. It's very violent, with shoot-outs that leave one character dead and another seriously wounded. A character takes one risk that appears suicidal. Characters drink and smoke. Corona beer seems to be an especially obvious product placement, and giving someone a beer is a gesture of honor and acceptance. There is a same-sex kiss, some skanky behavior, and women appear in scanty clothing. There's a non-graphic but explicit sexual situation. Characters use very strong language, including the "N" word and other racial slurs. Viewers see some gross photographs of an injured man. Characters are in extreme peril, both in racing and in shoot-outs. Robbing and shooting are sympathetically portrayed, and Brian's ultimate decision is a serious betrayal.

What's the story?
In THE FAST AND THE FURIOUS, Brian (Paul Walker) is a loner with a fancy racecar who wants to get into the hidden world of street racers. He also wants to get close Mia (Jordana Brewster), the pretty sister of the fastest driver of them all. The street racers take over a quarter mile stretch for races that last less than 10 seconds, then disperse before the police catch up with them. Brian challenges Mia's brother Dom (Vin Diesel) and loses both the race and his car to the jeers of the onlookers. But he rescues Dom from the police and sticks with him through an encounter with a rival gang. Soon, he is a member of Dom's rag-tag team of outcasts – mechanic Jesse (Chad Lindberg), brooding Vince (Matt Schulze), and tough girl Letty (Michelle Rodriguez). But after races and chases in various locales, it turns out that neither Dom nor Brian has been telling the truth and that both will have to put what they care about most on the line before it is all over.
Is it any good?
I don't ask for much from summer popcorn movies. Give me some car chases and explosions, some romance, and a nasty villain who meets a nastier end, and I'm happy. I had high hopes for The Fast and the Furious to be a classic of this genre, but it turned out to be a numbing waste of celluloid, a bad, bad movie that cannot even fake authenticity. It is not about what is cool or about what the people in the audience think is cool. It is about what people in Hollywood think that the people in the audience think is cool.
There is a lot of posing and attitude, and nearly every line is a cliché, spoken without any sense of irony, tribute, or transcendence. There is some flashy photography, a lot of blasting faux-hip rap music, very fine cars, and sprays of automatic weapon bullets that manage to miss all the main characters. The last fifteen minutes is genuinely, deeply, infuriatingly stupid. Diesel and Rodriguez are talented and watchable, but this movie insists on interfering with our ability to enjoy them.
Families can talk about...
Families can talk about the way that even outcasts create families, as where Dom presides over a barbecue dinner that is like a cover illustration from Tatooed Biker done by Norman Rockwell. They even say grace. They could also talk about the people who do not tell each other the truth, and those who make the decision to violate the law to make things easier for themselves.

Sarika Kachhap, a physical education teacher of Devi Public School (Bariatu), in-charge of the tennis stadium here, knows the value of the huge Stadiums that have been constructed in the capital city for the 34th National Games beginning here on Saturday.
Training her wards on open grounds with no proper facilities would have vexed her no end.
The infrastructure, she said was a boon for the athletes of the State. "We are really proud to host the Games," she said.
"We didn't have a proper training ground earlier. Now we can regularly come and train. I feel very happy for the new generation," she said.
The sportsmen and women from different States, who are here to participate will enjoy the serene atmosphere.
Nitin Kulkarni, the official spokesperson of the Games, said, "the preparations are in full swing. The tickets have been sold out for the Opening Ceremony. The venues are getting decked up," he said.
Biggest challenge
The biggest challenge, Kulkarni said, had been holding the Games.
"They have been postponed six times. Even seven days ago, if somebody had said the Games would take place, nobody would have believed it. The final decision to hold the Games was taken on December 4 last year. Most of the work was completed in the last two-and-a-half months," he said.
The Opening Ceremony scheduled to be held in the evening at the Birsa Munda athletics stadium — with a seating capacity of 31,000 — will be a gala show.
Inaugural function
The inaugural function, running for three hours, will begin with a short introduction on Birsa Munda, a legendary warrior of Jharkhand. Munda (1875-1900), fought against the British for independence.
It will be followed by Jharkhand's folk dance and actors from the film industry too will perform.
Towards the end, there will be a Laser show on reputed sportspersons Jharkhand has produced.
Around 3,000 personnel from the Jharkhand Armed Police has been deployed for the Games.
Jharkhand Governor M.O.H. Farook will inaugurate the Games in the presence of Chief Minister Arjun Munda, Deputy CM Sudesh Mahto and Indian Olympic Association President Suresh Kalmadi.
Events begin on Sunday with hockey, volleyball, aquatics, rowing, football (women) and equestrian.

On The Menu
Bulgogi — Korean-style barbecue beef, $19
Seared pork belly — $19
Kimchi jeongol — Spicy stew with kimchi, $23
Pork skin — $15
3880 Satellite Blvd., Duluth
Open since: April 8, 2012
Owners: Andy Lee and Byung Joe
Location: 678 is located at the intersection of Satellite and Steve Reynolds boulevards, next to the QuikTrip gas station.
Hours: 5 p.m. to midnight Sundays through Thursdays, 5 p.m. to 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays
Atmosphere: This inside of 678 is plastered with a man, who is making faces, immortalized as a cartoon character and posing as several cut-outs in the restaurant.
But who is he?
Kang Ho-Dong, a famous Korean entertainer, who owns the franchises. He greets you at the front door, he laughs at you while you eat and watches you leave the establishment.
Other than that, the restaurant looks modern with gray walls and wooden walls separating each booth.
The tables seat four people and have a hole in the middle of them. That's where the server places the hot charcoal to cook your food -- yes, they cook the meal in front of you. It gets a little smoky at times, but there is also an overhead exhaust system to clear the air.
For those of you who have never eaten at a Korean restaurant, there is a button at each table -- don't be afraid to use it. When you need your server for anything, especially when it is a busy day, push the button and he or she will be at your table to assist you. If not, he or she may not come back to your table for a while to let you dine in peace.
Menu: The menu is traditional Korean cuisine specializing in Korean barbecue. On the menu, the dishes are written in both Korean and English, but with minimal descriptions. If you have any questions, just ask your server. He or she are glad to help explain things for lost diners.
Most of the dishes sound pricey, but you are given a lot of food -- enough to feed two to four people. Plus, each plate receives a fair amount of sides ranging from homemade kimchi to lettuce wraps to fish cakes.
When you order your beef or pork meals, they are served as a variety of raw meat, some of which are marinated. The meat is cooked from mild flavor to the more potent as the meal goes on. The server cooks and cuts the meat for you, leaving out the fat and gristle. You are then able to make your own concoctions from the sides, lettuce and rice.
Things you might not know: There are other locations in Los Angeles, Hawaii and Manila, Philippines.

The Quicktime application from Apple
Once in awhile I like to write about personal productivity tech tools. I don't do it very often because I haven't found many that weren't more effort to use than they're worth. But there are exceptions.
I have a hard time with "To Do" lists. I've tried to use all the great Tasks apps in Gmail, my CRM system, my Blackberry, "Remember the Milk", and lots of others but I still end up going back to scribbling notes on a sheet of paper. Of course I lose or misplace the paper then try to remember what I wrote down so I wouldn't have to remember it. I'm fairly sure I'm not alone although most folks don't talk about all the stuff they forget or admit they're personally this disorganized … or as I like to call it "organizationally uberdysfunctional".
What I've always wanted is something that's just drop dead simple. I want it on my computer and also on my smartphone and the two should play together nicely. I want to be able to quickly scribble all the "to do's" I think of during the day; I want to assign them to a certain day or have them float in a "when I get around to it" list … until I get around to them. And although it's theoretically useful, I don't want to link them to customers or contacts or my calendar or projects or anything else. No bells, no whistles. Oddly enough that's tough to find in today's world of "feature rich" productivity tools.
I just found TEUXDEUX (www.teuxdeux), however, and it's almost exactly what I wanted. In fact the most complicated thing about it is the name that I can't spell. And if you didn't get it, it's pronounced "TO DO". It's a "cloud" app that I've just made my browser home page. With a beautifully clean and simple screen design, it's a breeze to type in all my action items, ideas, and meetings by day or in the "Someday" list (love the Someday list!). That's it! That's all it does. All those notes and "to do's" are exactly where I want them when I start up my computer each morning.
They tell me their iPhone app is in beta test and should be available soon. Since I live from my phone having my lists synched will be invaluable. There are a few little feature tweaks that might be nice but I suspect we'll see these as the product matures. One thing I like, having absolutely no business relevance, is that these guys don't take themselves too seriously or pretend to have developed the world's greatest technical innovation. A slightly funky website with a light-hearted message underscores the simplicity and utility of their concept.
TeuxDeux is free and requires only a short, simple sign up. Down the road I expect they'll have premium upgrades and such – and maybe I'll even buy them – but for now I'm finally happy. So I suggest you write TeuxDeux in your To Do list and try really hard to remember to check them out. – Tim

Everton boss Dave Moyes is chasing Cardiff City pair Joe Ledley and Aaron Ramsey.
The Bluebirds' financial worries may have been eased by their success in the Cup and the January sale of Chris Gunter but chairman Peter Ridsdale refused to rule out further departures this summer if the right money is on offer.
"Every scout under the sun is watching Cardiff at the moment and every player has a value," Ridsdale told the Western Mail.
"I expect people to be knocking on my door, but they can knock as much as they like. Certain players have a value and that is that.
"Every player is up for sale, that has always been the case. What has changed is that the price has just got bigger - it would take a massive cheque to prize certain players away."

Check it out! I can't believe Tod Howard is going to be their third guitarist! Skyrim is going to be awesome!
Well, I might as well have fun before the mods take it down... Heres a man having a philosophical discussion with a sweet potato:
A man walked into a bar, deeply depressed and in search for some meaning. Feeling a growing pain in his stomach, he asked the bartender for the cheapest meal he could give. In front of the man was laid a sickly looking sweet potato.
The man then sparked a bit of a conversation with the potato, which while it may seem impossible to an ordinary man is quite normal when you're as depressed and as hungry as he.
"Where did you come from?" Asked the man, still too sad to eat and yet too awake to stay quiet.
"A farm" Answered the potato.
The man began to sob.
"How similar we are. You, a potato, born to be devoured by men, and I, a man, born to be devoured by worms."
The potato shrugged.
"Eh, its not so bad. We all get eaten eventually. I've lived a good life. Met a good potato-girl who became my potato-wife, had a couple of taters."
"But," Said the man, "Don't you have regrets? I for one have lived my whole life in a mad scramble to extend my life. A cyclical dance of pointlessness."
"No," Said the potato, taking a drink from the mans glass of water, "I have no regrets. If I had built a tower, it would have fallen. If I had built a name, it would have been forgotten. I did what made me happy, and whatever I get in death is exactly what I deserve."
The man shook his head.
"No no, you've got it all wrong. I want to be important! I want to achieve! I want people to remember me!"
The potato smiled.
"You are, in your unimportance, important. Its because of the ant drones that the queen has any importance or means of survival at all. Contextually in society, you are, in your seemingly pointless life, the very essence of collective importance. Because of the boring people in society, we have the exciting people! Without the boring, then we'd all be exciting, which would become the new social norm. Therefore, because it would become common-place, it would in effect become the new "boring" of society, while the original boring would, in their rarety, become the new "exciting". You may think that the celebrities that lounge around lazily are the most important of people, but it is by your hard-work that they exist at all."
"I don't understand..."
The potato smiled again.
"Its simple. Society has social castes. Therefore, because of the existence of a lower caste, aka your caste, there exists an upper caste. Because of the "unimportant" men and women who work all day every day, we have the "important" achievers who are considered "rare". And remember, without the "common" there is no "rare". Contextually, you give them their very purpose of existence. You need each other, and therefore are of equal importance."
The man began to smile.
"So who... What, are you?"
The potato thought for a moment.
"You kill me, eat me, and I extend your life. I am food. I am a sacrifice."
The mans smile shrunk.
"But what are you? You're a living thing- You feel pain, you can communicate, you have a will to survive... What seperates you from me, a man? What are you?"
The sweet potato shrugged.
"I yam what I yam."
Oh, whoops. I thought I was alone in here. You know how we all do... Strange things... When we're alone.
This is the largest font. Making a speeling mistake would be very embarsing.
Thats what makes it so special. It only works on Gamespot. Like an invisible ink pen, if only pissed off moderaters could see it, and all it could write was "lolwut"
You are not allowed to request a sticky.

FX sails quotes very favorably over the mainstream lofts, so the idea is tempting. Delivery times are similar as well, at 6 - 8 weeks.
I'd also be most interested to hear from someone who has gone through the process from start to finish. A concern I would have is with the fit. Ordering on line means the sailmaker is not going to measure your rig. Not all "standard" boats are the same and it's quite possible that the sail will not be a perfect fit if the measurements provided them are not spot-on. I'd then be interested to see how interested the local lofts are in helping you out...
