LLOYDS Banking Group has turned for its new audit director to KPMG, the accountant that faced criticism for its auditing of Halifax Bank of Scotland ahead of its collapse
Lloyds, which bought HBOS in a rescue takeover in 2008, has hired KPMG's Toronto-based partner Mary Hall in a move that helps it in efforts to boost the number of women in top jobs at the part-nationalised institution.
Ms Hall, who has been KPMG's national industry leader for financial services in Canada since 2011, will join the bank in September.
She will formally report to Nick Luff, the Centrica executive who chairs Lloyds's audit committee.
Lloyds currently has 28 per cent of senior roles filled by women.
It wants to see them take 40 per cent of its top 8,000 positions by 2020.
The Government has sought to convince companies to increase the number of women they have in senior positions although it has stopped short of imposing formal quotas.
Ms Hall has worked for KPMG since 1988 and leads a team of 400 people. She previously worked on regulatory issues.
Currently, two of the six members of the audit committee into which Ms Hall will report are women. One of her first jobs is expected to be the tender of Lloyds's audit contract currently held by PricewaterhouseCoopers.
The Financial Reporting Council has said it is considering investigating KPMG's handling of HBOS. But it is waiting for the Prudential Regulation Authority to publish its report into the Edinburgh bank's failure.

Manufacturer: Timberline (View all products by Timberline Saddle Company)
Model: Continental (View all Continental reviews)
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I am a 43 year-old who rides a young Appaloosa trail horse, who frankly, doesn't want to find out if she bounces anymore. So, when it came time to find the perfect trail saddle I really did my homework. I poured through all of the horse magazines, searched the internet, read all the reviews I could find. I was really impressed with Timberline saddles so I contacted Lisa Emory at saddleoutfitters.com. Lisa was a valuable resource because she is a trail rider who rides in a Timberline saddle. I purchased the Timberline Continental model from her for $1900.00 which was a great deal. An absolutely stunning breast collar was also included with the package.
Likes: I love my Timberline Continental saddle for several reasons. For starters the saddle is made from the finest quality leather. There has been no break in period. It was comfortable the very first ride. It took less than a week to "train" the stirrups to turn inwards. I am also thrilled that a saddle this sturdy and beautiful weighs only 29lbs. It is so easy to lift onto my horse's back. Speaking of my horse's back, the Timberline Continental fit my appy perfectly. During the first week of riding in the Continental a deer jumped in front of my horse causing him to spook. My body did not move and my feet stayed in the stirrups. I cannot say enough about this saddle. The Timberline Continental is beautifully crafted, a great fit, easy to lift and makes me feel safe. I am the envy of all of my trail riding buddies.
Dislikes: The Timberline Continental has a deeper swell than I was used to seeing on other trail saddles. After my horse spooked and I stayed so securely in the seat--I fell in love with it!
Quality: The saddle is made in the U.S.A. The quality of the saddle is unsurpassed. The leather is soft and supple. The tooling and silver accents are such a luxury. The sheepskin came from a sheep, no acrylic from Timberline. The saddles tree comes with a lifetime guarantee. This saddle is the ultimate.
Summary: I know that $1900 is a lot of money to spend. I suffered no buyer's remorse from this purchase. Every time I saddle my horse, I am thrilled that I own such a well-made and beautiful saddle. Every time I ride alone in the woods, I am thrilled that I own such safe a secure saddle. Every time I put my saddle away after a long ride, I am relieved that my saddle weighs 28 lbs. Treat yourself! Life is too short to ride in any brand other than a Timberline.

5 myths about credit scores and mortgages
Other mortgage tips
• Pay attention to medical collections. They often give would-be borrowers some of the most financial heartburn, said Kurt Branstetter, of W.J. Bradley Mortgage. If the medical delinquency in your record is accurate, be quick to pay it in full. Sometimes collection agencies are willing to work with you.
• Watch the balances on your credit cards. If you've used more than 30 percent of your available limit, that may be reported as a negative in your credit report, said Chad Baker, of Prime Lending. If it's more than 30 percent, pay down your balances.
• Check your credit report at least once a year.
• Pay your bills on time.
• Start the mortgage-buying process early, so you have time to fix any issues.
• Consider visiting with home counselors who are certified by HUD, the country's housing agency, said Appaswamy "Vino" Pajanor, president and executive director of Housing Opportunities Collaborative. You also can enroll in a first-time homebuyers course that can take you through the ins and outs of credit. Help is free. To learn more, call (619) 283-2200 or (800) HOC-0503.
What's the difference in dollars? If you have a 740 credit score or higher and put 20 percent down for a $400,000 loan, then you could expect to pay $1,000 in fees. It goes up to $2,000 if you fall into the 739-720 tier, Branstetter said. "You don't have to pay that," Branstetter said, referring to the fees. "You can take a higher (mortgage) rate." But either way, a lower credit score in those cases would mean more money out of your pocket.
Myth: There's nothing I can do to change my credit score.
Fact: You have more control than you think. Changes all start with knowing what's in your credit report. Everyone is entitled to one free credit report a year from any of the credit bureaus: Experian, TransUnion and Equifax. While these free reports don't typically disclose a credit score for free, they do give a thorough account of your credit history, from that department-store card you got on a whim to the dentist checkup you forgot to pay for.
"The good and bad, it's expressed in numbers, that's all," said Southern California credit expert Nabil Captan during a seminar at this week's San Diego Association of Realtors' Expo.
If you notice anything astray in those reports, you can report it to those credit agencies. They are required to correct or zap any inaccurate or unverifiable data in your accounts, under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Consumers also can have a mortgage professional run a credit-score check.
Myth: Even if I do find an error in my credit report, it will take forever to correct.
Fact: You can get a rapid rescore done with the help of the lender. Branstetter, of W.J. Bradley Mortgage in San Diego, says a current client was shocked to see her score fall to about 720 from her usual 780 range.
A closer look at her credit report showed a late payment on a department-store credit card bill that apparently had been sent to another address as a result of a typo.

Indianapolis HotelsIndianapolis is the capital city of Indiana, an electrifying hub of history, culture, and entertainment. Hidden among the glitzy high-rises and bustling city streets, you'll find a rich range of cultural venues - from theaters to art galleries - and many magical monuments. There's a lot that the kids will love too, whether it's visiting an interactive and inspiring science museum, or saying hello to animals at the zoo. Things to seeBegin your Indianapolis morning by immersing yourself in some of the city's finest culture at the Indianapolis Museum of Art. This encyclopedic art museum - currently based in an acropolis-style building surrounded by lush woodland - houses supreme American, Asian, and European paintings. A top highlight is the Post-Impressionist collection, which boasts works by Cezanne and Van Gogh. If you're traveling with kids, you'll want to stop by the Children's Museum of Indianapolis, an immensely large center of education, entertainment, and inspiration. Kids will get a kick out of the giant dinosaur statues, the mega mastodon skulls, and the hands-on science experiments. As the afternoon rolls around, head to the Indianapolis Zoo - another great family-friendly sight - based in the idyllic White River State Park. Here, you can watch dancing dolphins and see mighty silver-grey elephants. Cap off your day by visiting the Indiana War Memorial, an astonishing white-stone structure with a small and touching remembrance museum. Hotels in IndianapolisThe handful of lavishly luxurious 4-star Indianapolis hotels are perfect for those after a slice of elegant city paradise. Enjoy huge airy rooms designed in sublime modern decor, heavenly massage treatments, and jazzy in-house bars and restaurants. For something more affordable, stay in one of the 3-star hotels in Indianapolis. Take a dip in the indoor pools, burn off excess energy at the fitness centers, and make use of the 24-hour desk service. Those traveling on a tight budget should stay in a 2-star hotel, where you'll proffer from free breakfasts, WiFi, and parking. Where to stayMost folks and families will want to stay in the Wholesale District, the central point of Indianapolis' Downtown area. This energetic but family-friendly district is flush with eclectic restaurants, fantastic theaters, and jaw-dropping monuments. Here, you'll also be near the city's top museums and galleries. For a more bohemian neighborhood full of bouncing off-beat bars, kooky cafes, and thrift stores, stay near the city's University in the youthful Broad Ripple Village district. Those that like a mix of urban energy and peaceful parkland, meanwhile, can stay near the White River State Park, where you'll enjoy riverbank footpaths and flower-studded gardens. How to get to IndianapolisIndianapolis is easily reached by air, with the city's international airport based just 12 miles from Downtown. Indianapolis International Airport serves plenty of direct year-round flights from top domestic destinations like Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York. If you're traveling from overseas, you'll need to catch a connecting flight at one of the top airports served by Indianapolis. From the airport, either take a taxi or hire your own car onsite and race Downtown - the drive should only take around 15 minutes. In the city, the Indy Go bus service, cycle paths, and pedicabs can get you around the center, but you may need your own car to explore the outer suburbs.

Track World Cup: Sir Chris Hoy & Jason Kenny ready for battle
Track Cycling: London World Cup
- Venue: Olympic Velodrome, London
- Date: 16-19 February 2012
Sir Chris Hoy and Jason Kenny will step up their battle for Great Britain's sole Olympic individual sprint place at London's new velodrome this week.
Hoy hopes to defend three gold medals in London this summer, but Kenny is the reigning individual world champion.
Rule changes mean each nation will now have only one rider or team per event.
"It's a great headache to have, but they are so finely matched it's a tremendously difficult decision," GB chief Dave Brailsford told BBC Sport.
The fourth and final leg of track cycling's World Cup will begin in London on Thursday, doubling as a test event for the new Olympic facilities, and the world's best riders will be there in force to try out the Velodrome.
"We'll try to take the subjectivity out of it and use as much data and facts as we can to inform our decision-making. They train together every day, we get all the data from training, there's a whole accumulation of information over a long period of time. It's difficult and quite a sad situation to be in, to be honest. We've got two of the best in the world, so have the French and the Germans, maybe even Australia. When you think you can only have one per country, it dilutes the Olympics. That's a shame, really."
And the competition will be as much within the national teams as between them, with Britain's male sprinters keen to make their mark before heading to the World Championships in Melbourne in April.
"We've known for a long time that there's one position for the individual events," Hoy told BBC Sport.
"It's a shame, I think, some world-class riders from all countries will miss out, but you adapt to that and it hasn't really changed anything day-to-day. It's just a shame yourself or your team-mate misses out but, in terms of selection, I think the team will pick itself.
"Results from the season so far and the World Championships will pick the team. It's tough but that's life, you do the best you can."
Ross Edgar and Matt Crampton are other options for the individual sprint but it is likely to come down to Hoy and Kenny, the 23-year-old from Bolton who will be presented with the world champion's rainbow jersey on Thursday.
Kenny was awarded the world title retrospectively after Frenchman Gregory Bauge, who crossed the line first in Apeldoorn last year, received a backdated 12-month suspension from the French federation for a violation of rules governing rider availability for drug tests.
- Men's team pursuit (Ed Clancy, Geraint Thomas, Peter Kennaugh, Steven Burke), Thursday - qualification, Sunday - final
- Women's team pursuit (Laura Trott, Wendy Houvenaghel, Joanna Rowsell), Thursday - qualification, Friday - final
- Women's individual pursuit (Joanna Rowsell), Saturday
- Men's & women's team sprint (Ross Edgar, Jason Kenny, Sir Chris Hoy. Jess Varnish & Victoria Pendleton), Friday - qualification/final
- Men's individual sprint (Sir Chris Hoy, Jason Kenny, Matt Crampton - Team Sky), Sunday
- Women's individual sprint (Jess Varnish, Victoria Pendleton), Saturday
- Men's keirin (Sir Chris Hoy, Matt Crampton - Team Sky), Saturday
- Women's keirin (Jess Varnish, Victoria Pendleton), Sunday
- Men's omnium (Ben Swift), Friday & Saturday
- Women's omnium (Laura Trott), Saturday & Sunday
- Women's scratch (Dani King), Friday
- Men's kilo (Matt Crampton - Team Sky), Friday
"They have applied this ban to him but it's a retrospective ban," Hoy added.
"So essentially they banned him for last year, even though he got to race. They have taken away his results, which seems a bit odd - the whole point of a ban is you miss time and there's got to be some sort of meaningful ban or repercussions if you break the rules.
"In terms of sporting precedents, I'm not sure that's happened before. It's not for me to comment on, we race against the guys put in front of us. If they're not there, people always say, 'I wonder what would have happened'."
Kenny is hoping to be in better form than earlier in the season, which he described as "a bit of a disaster", as he prepares to wear the rainbow jersey.
"Hopefully I'll be back at the sharp end, particularly as I'll be wearing the world champion's jersey," he told BBC Sport. "It's a bit bizarre; it's a strange way to win it. It's not what I imagined."
Kenny won the team sprint with Hoy in Beijing and took silver behind the Scotsman in the individual, and he is ready for the challenge of taking Hoy's individual sprint place this summer.
"There's nothing in it," said Kenny. "There's going to be some pretty good racing between now and the Olympics. This race is important because there aren't many chances to show what you can do.
"You don't think about it off the track; on the track we knock the stuffing out of each other. You can't give an inch, otherwise the other one will take it, but then it's all left behind you, back to training and try to get a bit quicker.
"It's five months, six months. A lot can happen in that time, and I'm hoping a lot does happen in that time."

Rambus Antitrust Jury Verdict to Be Announced, Court Says
Nov. 16 (Bloomberg) -- A jury has reached a verdict in Rambus Inc.'s antitrust trial against Micron Technology Inc. and Hynix Semiconductor Inc. and the verdict will be announced later today, according to a California state court spokeswoman.
The 12-member jury in San Francisco, which has been deliberating since Sept. 22, was asked to decide whether Micron and Hynix conspired to prevent Sunnyvale, California-based Rambus's memory chips from becoming an industry standard.
Ann Donlan, a spokeswoman for the Superior Court, said in an e-mail that the verdict will be announced at 11 a.m. in San Francisco after the judge finishes a hearing in a different case.
Rambus rose 1.8 percent to $18.37 in New York before trading was halted after it was reported that the jury had reached a verdict.
Rambus alleged in a lawsuit first filed in 2004 that that Boise, Idaho-based Micron and Ichon, South Korea-based Hynix colluded to manipulate prices of dynamic random access memory, or DRAM, chips in violation of California antitrust law. Rambus said at trial that it would have made $3.95 billion in royalties without the alleged conspiracy.
The case is Rambus Inc. v. Micron Technology Inc., 04-0431105, California Superior Court (San Francisco).

Derek Norris makes first career homer a walkoff blast
Jun 24, 2012, 7:53 PM EDT
The A's were dealt a couple of very tough losses in the first two games against the Giants. On Friday, Ryan Cook, who entered with an 0.57 ERA, gave up four runs in the ninth to take a blown save and a loss. On Saturday, the A's rallied for four runs in the ninth, only to come up just short and lose 9-8.
Today, the A's finally got it done, all thanks to Derek Norris' first major league homer.
Norris delivered a three-run shot in the bottom of the ninth off Santiago Casilla, giving the A's a 4-2 victory. It was just the second blown save in 22 opportunities for Casilla.
Norris was called up last week to share time with the struggling Kurt Suzuki behind the plate for Oakland. Today's start was his third as a big leaguer, but he already has more RBI (four) than Suzuki does in the last month (three).
The A's comeback ruined Matt Cain's streak of victories in eight straight starts. No one else has won more than six consecutive starts this season, though R.A. Dickey will go for No. 7 tonight. Cain didn't figure in the decision, obviously, but this marked the first time since May 1 than the Giants had lost one of his starts.

We got alot of talent coming to the A's!!!!
- pantherpro - Jun 24, 2012 at 9:51 PM
Cain should have got win and a sweep. Too bad Giants fans dominated in your park. How embarrassing is that? At least you sold some tickets with the big boys in town.
- hcf95688 - Jun 24, 2012 at 10:32 PM
Pantherpro: You remind me of two friends of mine, Moe and Ron.
- APBA Guy - Jun 25, 2012 at 12:12 AM
Sweet! After a badly blown call by the first base ump who missed Seth Smith's on-the-line double and called it foul, denying the A's the tie and go ahead runs, the walk-off was mightily welcome.
The other big story was rookie AJ Griffin holding the Gigantes to two runs, both courtesy of Posey's first inning blast. Griffin had excellent command and the bright glare, which I had expected Thursday with Kershaw in town, held the hitters back for just a fraction and depressed scoring.
Overall an excellent series in which both teams scored 16 runs, but the Giants won two of three and take the Bay Bridge 2012 season series 4 games to 2.
- joelwrobinson - Jun 25, 2012 at 12:27 AM
The Giants are such a stupid franchise.

(Editor's note: This article contains graphic imagery which will be marked as "not safe for work." Reader discretion is advised.)
(Editor's note: I myself subscribe to a very broad definition of the term "religion," such that I don't see what sets philosophies like Christianity, Buddhism, and Islam apart from other belief systems–in terms of what can be used to determine law and policy, for example–but for the purposes of this article I will adhere to the simple, colloquial usage of the term.)
BioShock is not a game where the player is bombarded with religious symbolism. Most of the characters aren't named after Biblical figures; the use of "Rapture" for the name of the central underwater city ruled by greed and unmonitored capitalism is neither reverent nor ironic (I think one of the dev diaries stated that Rapture was named such so as to imply exclusivity–not everyone could get in–and I wish I could remember which one), and the player isn't given a bunch of objective names that bring to mind Biblical references (contrast "Sins of the Father" [Ezekiel 18, sort of] in Mass Effect 2, "The Last Enemy That Shall Be Destroyed" [1 Corinthians 15:26] in Red Dead Redemption [massive story spoilers]). The game is largely about shooting, survival, and getting to the next area. So where does religion come in? And what prompted me to write this?
Polygon wrote an interesting article about, essentially, making Christian games that don't suck, and this immediately called to mind the reason I usually don't listen to pop-Christian radio anymore: I simply don't like a lot of the music! It doesn't often match my aesthetic tastes, and to be honest, without the Christian material, I have to wonder how much of an audience this work would even have, because on its own it's not particularly noteworthy. The most annoying part about that is that I can hear excellent songs by bands like Skillet on secular radio but not on Christian radio. My suggestion is that usually I think it's better to make games that function well as games before worrying about the philosophies and messages you want those games, unless the story you want to tell is just incredible (which is difficult to determine without hindsight).
Anyway, the city of Rapture is an individualist utopia: you don't have to worry about having to support the poor; you don't have to worry about tacky things as ethics and morality getting in the way of your scientific discoveries; and you can basically work to be, do, and become anything you can imagine.
Apparently for some people this wasn't enough:
And, moreover, some individuals met a very bloody end for their "crimes":
All in all (see also a transcript of the BioShock audio diary Death Penalty in Rapture for further reading), this adds up to a clear and interesting point: these people were offered the very best that the world had to offer them, and for some of them, it just wasn't enough. I'm speculating from this point, but it's likely that these individuals, many of them possibly either Splicers or dead at the time of the game, were wanting a deeper meaning to life that couldn't be found in catering to their own desires. I recall a Splicer enemy singing the children's song "Jesus Loves Me" at one point early in the game, and this sort of examination of Rapture's setting and internal conflict helps to place that song in a new light. The Splicer wasn't just given that song by the devs to creep the player out. The Splicer, in all likelihood, was singing that song out of a desperation that was evidently mirrored by many of his fellow citizens of Rapture. These sorts of smuggling crates are found throughout the game, and what's inside them, stacked to the top of the boxes, themselves often in stacks themselves? Bibles all over the floor. Crucifixes:
And more Bibles, soaking wet and lying everywhere. Rapture creator Andrew Ryan was convinced that his way of living would satisfy everyone who came to Rapture, and evidently he was clearly wrong.
BioShock is not a game that beats the player over the head with religious imagery or symbolism, but it's definitely there to be seen by those willing to look for it. It's this sort of subtle yet powerful storytelling that makes me heartily respect BioShock's attention to detail in its setting, regardless of whether the game lets me summon beings named Shiva and Ifrit or not.

India vs Australia
India have won the second Test by an innings and 135 runs, which gives them a 2-0 lead in the series. Australia were dominated throughout the entire Test, but the morning session of day four showed India, through their spinners, at its ruthless best. The Australian batting lineup was shown to be deficient in the technique of dealing with the turning ball. This is something that they are going to have to work on and improve rapidly for the rest of the series. The characteristics of the pitches to come in the series will not change significantly, so unless Australia can sort out their batting woes, the results in the games to come should also follow a similar pattern. Well played India, the batting, bowling and fielding were right out of the top draw.
Over 67 - Aus 131 all out (Pattinson 0, Doherty 1 )
Ashwin is operating with Three slips which is almost unheard of for a spinner. The field clearly shows that the Indians think the outside edge isn't far away. WICKET. Ashwin picks up his fifth wicket as he traps Pattinson lbw. The Test is over as India have demolished Australia in the first session on day four,
Over 66 - Aus 131/9 (Pattinson 0, Doherty 1 )
Doherty is concentrating hard to keep Harbahajan out. The Indian off-spinner will not want to end the innings wicketless.
Over 65 - Aus 131/9 (Pattinson 0, Doherty 1 )
Ashwin is worked for the first run in 37 deliveries. The tail survive another over but are just putting off what is now a clear and comprehensive result.
Over 64 - Aus 130/9 (Pattinson 0, Doherty 0 )
Harbahajan is into the attack to try remove one of the remaining two left handed batsmen. Immediately there is turn away from the batsman, the only thing missing for Harbahajan is the edge.
Over 63 - Aus 130/9 (Pattinson 0, Doherty 0 )
Ashwin is just plugging away at his line and length, waiting for the batsman to try something. Another maiden over is recorded, the fourth in a row.
Over 62 - Aus 130/9 (Pattinson 0, Doherty 0 )
Jadeja is stringing together the dot balls. The last pair for Australia won't be able to block the whole day, so it is just a matter of time until a shot is played in anger.
Over 61 - Aus 130/9 (Pattinson 0, Doherty 0 )
Ashwin is searching for his fifth wicket of the innings, an achievement that he is used to accomplishing in his relatively short Test career. Another maiden is completed.
Over 60 - Aus 130/9 (Pattinson 0, Doherty 0 )
This match is coming to an abrupt end. Jadeja has the tail in his sights and will be looking to cap off a great performance with one more victim.
Over 59 - Aus 130/9 (Pattinson 0, Doherty 0 )
WICKET. It's Ashwin's turn to find the edge and Wade is easily taken at first slip. Doherty is the new batsman to the crease.
Over 58 - Aus 130/8 (Siddle 4, Wade 10)
Siddle is rocking onto the front foot before Jadeja even releases the delivery. As soon as Siddle tries an attacking stroke, the spin beats the outside edge and the third umpire is called upon to judge whether Siddle's foot was grounded when Dhoni took the bails off. Not out is the call. WICKET. Jadeja finds the edge and Siddle is well caught at second slip.
Over 57 - Aus 130/7 (Siddle 4, Wade 10)
Ashwin continues and I think Dhoni will have a tough time trying to take the ball out of the hands of these two spinners. They seem keen to cash in and pick up as many sticks as possible now that they smell blood.
Over 56 - Aus 128/7 (Siddle 4, Wade 8)
Jadeja continues and India are well and truly into the Australian tail with the arrival of Siddle at the wicket.
Over 55 - Aus 127/7 (Siddle 4, Wade 7)
WICKET. Ashwin has struck with his variation ball that straightens on the right handed batsman. Maxwell is trapped lbw. Siddle is the new batsman to the crease.
Over 54 - Aus 123/6 (Maxwell 8, Wade 7)
Another impressive over by Jadeja builds more pressure. Something has got to give sooner or latter.
Over 53 - Aus 121/6 (Maxwell 7, Wade 7)
The bowlers are really rushing through the overs, but a partnership is start starting the bud between these two young Australian batsmen.
Over 52 - Aus 117/6 (Maxwell 2, Wade 7)
Wade breaks the drought by driving Jadeja through the covers for four. Australia need to start attacking because if they just block then on a pitch like this, they will get one with their name on it sooner rather than later.
Over 51 - Aus 112/6 (Maxwell 1, Wade 3)
Ashwin continues as the two spinners now seem to be racing for the remaining wickets. Another maiden is negotiated by Wade.
Over 50 - Aus 112/6 (Maxwell 1, Wade 3)
Jadeja is looking deadly at the moment. Another big appeal is turned down by the umpire, but a wicket seems like it is right around the corner.
Over 49 - Aus 112/6 (Maxwell 1, Wade 3)
WICKET. Henriques is run out by Jadeja, you can't keep him out of the game. Maxwell is the new batsman for Australia who are now staring down the barrel of another innings defeat.

Rebecca Anne Flint (born 5 June 1995), better known by her stage name Beckii Cruel, is a British pop dancer and singer from England. She reached popularity in Japan after her YouTube videos of her dancing to dance pop songs were posted around the Internet. She was the 17th most subscribed user (3rd most in the Musician category) in Japan on YouTube as of 25 August 2010.[2] Her YouTube account has reached 20 million upload views and over 100,000 subscribers.[1]

1995-2009: Early life and beginnings[edit]
Flint was born in Blackpool, Lancashire, England, the daughter of a police inspector and a former dance instructor. She moved with her family at the age of 2 to Ramsey on the Isle of Man, where she attended Ramsey Grammar School.[1] She became interested in anime and manga at the age of 11, when she first started reading Fruits Basket.[2] On 22 July 2007, she began a YouTube channel under the name "xBextahx" (from a nickname she had when she was younger).[3] Some of her very early uploads included vlogs she did with her older brother on their mother's MacBook. On 19 January 2008, she started posting videos of herself dancing to Japanese pop and anime songs, with some of her own choreography. On 15 April 2009, she posted a video of herself dancing to Danjo, a popular Japanese Internet meme. Danjo is Japanese for boy and girl. Her YouTube video was uploaded to the Japanese video streaming website Nico Nico Douga, where she instantly attracted fans.[2]
According to Japanese media, Flint was named "the next Leah Dizon."[4] Her looks and interest in cosplay made her popular among Japanese fans for being a moe idol.[5] Despite this, during a press conference, she informed the media that she was well-aware that her age and her image would attract unwanted attention from the Internet, as her father had warned her.[2]
Flint was approached with half a dozen marketing campaigns before being signed onto a talent ageny, Life Is So Cruel, Ltd., in August 2009. Emerging under the stage name "Beckii Cruel" she flew to Japan, where she was able to perform with Taro in Akihabara. Although Cruel had experience in dancing, having taken ballet for most of her life, she was required to undergo vocal training. She began seeking advice from David Holland, and, according to her father, "works with him at least once a week".[1]
2009–2010: This is Beckii Cruel!, Tsubasa wo Kudasai and Beckii: Schoolgirl Superstar at 14[edit]
In October 2009, Cruel visited Japan with a group called the Cruel Angels, with 18-year-old French college student, known by her stage name Sarah Cruel, from Lyon, and a 17-year-old student from Portsmouth known by her stage name as Gemma Cruel.[2][6] She was signed onto Tokuma Japan Communications, the same label as hit technopop group Perfume.
On 4 November 2009, Cruel herself released two songs on two different albums, titled "No, Upper Matsuri" (の、アッパー祭 No, Appā Matsuri?) and "No, Ballad Matsuri" (の、バラード祭 No, Barādo Matsuri?) as part of the "No, Matsuri" (の、祭り?) CD series which features other singers popular from the Japanese Nico Nico Douga Video community.[3] On 7 November, she started her second YouTube channel under the name "xBextahx2", her channel for vlogs, tutorials and practice shots. On 9 December, she released her first idol DVD, titled This is Beckii Cruel!.[7][8] It debuted at number 8 on Japan's DVD charts.[2]
She released her first single featuring the Cruel Angels, "Tsubasa wo Kudasai" (翼をください?, "Please Give Me Wings"), on 10 February 2010, a cover of a 1970s song by Japanese pop rock band Akai Tori.[8] On 14 February 2010, she appeared at live events at Lazona Kawasaki Plaza and in Shibuya, Tokyo to promote the new single.[9] The single reached #84 on Oricon's single charts, and charted for two weeks in the top 200.[10]
On 12 August 2010, BBC Three premiered a documentary about her, entitled Beckii: Schoolgirl Superstar at 14.[11] This documentary brought her to a mainstream UK audience.
As of September 2010, Cruel is no longer affiliated with the Cruel Angels, and is no longer a member of the Cruel Angels Project, citing a dispute with her management as the reason for her departure from the project.[12]
2010–2011: whatacruelday and Beckii Cruel de Eigomimi[edit]
On 24 December, Cruel released two language learning books through ASCII Media Works entitled "Beckii Cruel de Eigomimi".[13]
2011-present: beckii.co.uk[edit]
In May 2011, Cruel launched her personal website http://beckii.co.uk.
As of July 2011, Cruel is no longer represented by Life Is So Cruel, Ltd., having sought termination of her contract, and neither has any further links with the company, nor with the Cruel Angels Project.
She has also worked with Tom Nichols, who has previously worked with Kylie Minogue, and various other artists. She recorded the song "You Can't Kiss Me" hoping she will be approached by a British recording contract. A CD single for the song was released in Autumn 2011. This was her first song targeted towards the British market.
In late 2012, Beckii recorded vocals for the debut album from British Gaijin Rock band Area 11, including the single 'Shi no Barado'.[14] The song reached 115 in the UK Official Singles Chart.
In August 2013, Beckii released her documentary 'Independent Idol' and new single 'Future Fantasy'. The documentary follows a then 17 year old Beckii recording her first song in Japanese in three years. The video for 'Future Fantasy' has amassed almost 180,000 views as of January 2015.
In 2014, Beckii was invited to perform at Idol Matsuri in Seattle, Washington, USA. The show was her first in the United States.[15]
bcky Couture[edit]
On 14 April 2014, Beckii launched her own clothing brand named 'bcky couture'. As of August 2014, it consists of two collections of handmade clothing. These collections are named 'The Debut Collection' and 'Garden Days Collection'. The Debut Collection includes 8 items, and the Garden Days Collection includes 4.[citation needed]

Cut Class
We had a cutting class tonight. What a blast.
How often do you guys cut stuff during kali class?
We do 2 or 3 a summer, and while these nights are as much free commercials for my instructor as they are kali class, seeing yourself on video cutting stuff can help a bunch in fixing technique.Originally Posted by Canuckyokushin

We have a training camp in May and September. Friends of mine own a campground, so there's no problem with us bringing every sharp implement known to man. Typical targets are cardboard tubes of varying thickness, including one we found where the walls were over a centimeter thick - I wagered a free month's classes to anyone who could chop through it in one shot.
Here's me with a ginunting, cutting through a tube strong enough to stand on (when laid on its side)

Recreation, Informal Social Networks and Social Capital
Warde, Alan, Tampubolon, Gindo, Savage, Mike, Journal of Leisure Research
In the past decade the concept of social capital has been applied to an increasingly large number of fields to explain outcomes such as educational attainment, health status, economic prosperity, crime rates, and democratic participation (see for example, Lin, 2001; Putnam, 2000; Stolle & Hooghe, 2004). Its wider use is valuable in its recognition of the importance of social ties and interpersonal connections in the contemporary world. However, its extension has resulted in loss of analytic precision as the concept has come to carry different meanings as it is employed in disparate theoretical traditions (Fine, 2001). Moreover, and partly as a consequence, there is considerable disagreement about how the processes which generate the effects attributed to social capital operate.
Our paper focuses on the role that engagement in informal recreational activities plays in social capital formation. It uses multi-level methods to examine the social network connections of members of three voluntary associations in North West England. We show how network structures within organizations affect general sociability and that network ties influence participation in a range of recreational and leisure practices. Further, we test the extent to which recreational practices are carried out by socially homogeneous groups to assess whether, and what type of social capital might be generated by informal sociability.
We begin with some theoretical observations to underline the importance of studying informal recreational practices, considering how these bear on current debates about social capital. Secondly, we explain the distinctiveness of our case studies, describe our data and our research methodology. We go on to describe the recreational practices of our sample of respondents as a means of examining the extent of sociability amongst our sample. Then, as a means of assessing the relationship between formal and informal sociability, we examine the overlap between associational involvement and informal socialising with co-members. Next we build models of respondents' involvement in recreational practices in order to see how tar dining, drinking, and domestic invitations are structured by principles of homophily and network connection. The conclusion to our paper emphasises that recreational practices generally involve considerable informal social mixing, and we show the relevance of these findings for debates about social capital.

We are particularly interested in the connections and relationships evident in informal recreational practices. Who goes where with whom? What types of bond sustain co-participation? We set this question in the context of contentious issues, as yet unresolved, within recent debates about social capital.

One major dispute concerns the instrumental and collective roles of social capital. For some, like Bourdieu (1987), Burt (1992) and Lin (2001), it is a matter of how individuals mobilise the resources of their social connections for personal or sectional gain.

The Padres have struggled with hitting so it's not all just coaching but a change will more than likely be made.
