Liverpool Central railway station in Liverpool, England, forms a central hub of the Merseyrail network, being on both the Northern Line and the Wirral Line. The station is located underground on two levels, below the site of a former mainline terminus. In 2008/09 Liverpool Central station was the busiest station in Liverpool, though considerably smaller than Lime Street station, the mainline terminus. In terms of passenger entries and exits between April 2010 and March 2011, Liverpool Central is the seventh-busiest station outside London.[1] The station is the busiest underground station outside of London serving 40,000 people daily.
Liverpool Central is one of nine stations on the Merseyrail network to incorporate automatic ticket gates. The main concourse is part of a shopping centre and includes a subway link to the former Lewis's department store. The station is currently being refurbished as part of the multi-million pound Central Village development. The Wirral and Northern line platforms closed on 23 April 2012, with the Wirral line platforms reopening on 25 August 2012 and the Northern line platforms on 22 October 2012. This was to allow improvement works to take place, primarily to the platform area of the station.[2]
High level terminal station[edit]
The original station, which was a large above ground terminal station, opened on 2 March 1874, at the end of the Cheshire Lines Committee (CLC) line to Manchester Central. It replaced Brunswick station as the CLC's terminus, and became the headquarters of the committee. The three-storey building fronted Ranelagh Street in the city centre, with a 65 feet (20 m) high, arched shed behind.
There were 6 platforms within the station, offering journeys to Manchester Central (in 45 minutes, making the route the quickest and most direct between Liverpool and Manchester), London St. Pancras, Hull, Harwich, Stockport Tiviot Dale, Southport Lord Street and an alternative London route to that of the Midland Railway terminating at London Marylebone.
Until the nationalisation of Britain's railways, the station was always busy, but as with many other stations in the UK, it was closed under the Beeching Axe, as the routes served could be taken from nearby Liverpool Lime Street. In 1966, most services on the CLC route were diverted to Liverpool Lime Street via the Hunts Cross chord, leaving only a dozen urban commuter trains per day to and from Gateacre. These final services were withdrawn on 17 April 1972 with a promise to reinstate the Gateacre route when the Merseyrail network was completed in 1978.
The High Level station was demolished in 1973, after having served a short time as a car park, although some former station buildings remained while work was in progress on rebuilding the underground station in the mid seventies. The area of the train shed now forms the centre of the planned Central Village development.
Underground urban station[edit]
On 11 January 1892 Liverpool Central Low Level station opened, at the end of the Mersey Railway's route, via the Mersey Railway Tunnel from Birkenhead, when the route was extended from James Street. The Mersey Railway platforms were underground, accessed from stairs within the High Level station and situated in roughly the same position as the escalators accessing the Merseyrail Northern Line today.
The Mersey Railway tunnel was aligned with the high level station's approach tunnel from the south. This was to ensure minimum engineering work if ever there was to be a link up of the two tunnels – as occurred when the two tunnels were linked in the 1970s.
In the 1970s, the Merseyrail network was created by merging separate railways into one comprehensive network. Central underground station would service the Northern Line and Wirral Lines.
A new loop tunnel was built in Liverpool city centre for Wirral Line trains, linking James Street with Moorfields, Lime Street, Liverpool Central and returning to James Street. A new deep-level underground platform was built at Liverpool Central as part of this loop tunnel.
The former CLC route was taken underground connecting to the underground Mersey Railway platforms. Another new tunnel, the Link Tunnel, allowed trains to continue northwards via Moorfields to the approach lines to Liverpool Exchange, creating one long line from Hunts Cross to Southport. Liverpool Exchange terminal station was closed in 1977. This route became the Merseyrail Northern Line. The rebuilt underground station opened by British Rail in 1977.
In the original 1970s Merseyrail plan, southbound trains would have continued to Warrington and Manchester; however, services terminated at Garston (but were later extended to Hunts Cross). At the same time, works to allow the Merseyrail Northern Line to be connected to the Victoria Tunnel were put in place, but were later abandoned. This would have allowed trains to operate to St Helens.
On 26 October 2005 a Wirral Line train derailed on the approach to Liverpool Central en route from Liverpool Lime Street.[3] There were no serious injuries; however, the design of the Liverpool Loop meant that all Wirral Line services through the Loop were suspended for the remainder of the week, terminating at James Street.
The statistics for interchanges at this station exclude exchanges between trains, estimated at around 2 million,[4] and concessionary pass holders.
At street level is a travel centre opened in November 2009 which sells tickets, newspapers, food and drink, replacing the former ticket office and newsagents. There are also toilets, cash and food vending machines. Escalators and lifts lead to the two Northern Line platforms and the deep-level Wirral Line platform.
There are plans to develop the car park behind Central Station (bounded by the rear of the station, Cropper Street, Newington and Bold Street) into Central Village. The 'village' will consist of a high rise tower for residential and business use, retail outlets, bars and restaurants and will also have a canal running the length of Bold Street. Planning permission has been granted to develop this area, which has been relatively derelict since the demolition of the High Level Station in the 1970s.[5]
Station improvements[edit]
It was announced in September 2011 that all five of Liverpool's underground stations had secured £40 million investment from Network Rail to allow improvement works to take place, with half that amount earmarked for Central Station refurbishment. The entire station closed on 23 April 2012 to allow necessary improvement works to take place, primarily to the platform area of the station, although the concourse will also see minor improvements. Some of the improvements at Central Station include an additional lift, new escalators and refreshed wall cladding, among others.[2] The single Wirral Line platform at Liverpool Central reopened on 25 August 2012, and the Northern Line platforms (1+2) reopened on 22 October 2012.[citation needed] The DfT (Department for Transport) has just announced funding for a second lift at the station.
On the Northern Line, off-peak service level is as follows:
- 4 trains per hour to Southport
- 4 trains per hour to Ormskirk
- 4 trains per hour to Kirkby
- 4 trains per hour to Hunts Cross via Liverpool South Parkway
During late evenings, frequencies are reduced to 2 trains per hour on the Kirkby and Ormskirk branches; the Southport and Hunts Cross service retains 4 trains per hour.
Sunday services reflect the evening service, but the service from Southport to Hunts Cross is also reduced to 2 trains per hour except for summer Sundays when it remains at 4 trains per hour between Liverpool Central and Southport.
On the Wirral Line, off-peak service level is as follows:
- 4 trains per hour to New Brighton
- 4 trains per hour to West Kirby
- 6 trains per hour to Hooton of which:
- 4 trains per hour continue to Chester
- 2 trains per hour continue to Ellesmere Port
There are also extra services between Liverpool Central and Hooton during peak times. During late evenings and on Sundays, frequencies are reduced to 2 trains per hour on all branches.[6] These services are all provided by Merseyrail's fleet of Class 507 and Class 508 EMUs.
Northern to Wirral services[edit]
Empty Coaching Stock (non-passenger) services have to reverse at Liverpool Central station, when going from Kirkdale Depot to Birkenhead North TMD and vice versa, making use of a single track chord known as the "Stock Interchange Line" linking Liverpool James Street station (Wirral Line) and Liverpool Central (Northern Line). No passenger services are scheduled to use the link, although it could be used.[citation needed]

1809 Cohen-4 Half Cent, Recut 01809 1/2 C Recut 0 (Circle). C-4, B-1, R.2. Die State 1. AU58 NGC. XF45 EAC. Recut 0 (inner circle); Leaf point close to O. Through many editions of the Guide Book including the 2003 edition, this was listed as the "Circle inside 0" variety, an apt description. The last three editions of that reference have recorded a new name, the "Small o inside 0" variety. May we suggest that this variety should simply be called 1809 Recut 0, but perhaps that is not descriptive enough. This is an early die state with clearly recut stars 3, 6, and 10, and with a broad rim over STATES. It would be quite easy to call this example fully Mint State, although there is just the faintest trace of wear. The surfaces have lovely medium brown color with lighter golden brown clinging to the very edges of the devices on both sides. Several low areas on both sides, and especially visible at the lower left obverse, were apparently caused by grease or some similar foreign matter on the dies. A similar effect, although less prominent, can be seen on the Manley plate coin.

Maacah (Codex Alexandrinus: Maacha, KJV: Maachah, Hebrew: מעכה Ma`aKhaH "Crushed") is a non-gender-specific personal name used in the Bible to refer to a number of different people.
1 Kings 15:9-10 and II Chron. 15:16 identify Maacah as the daughter of Absalom.[1] From this, one would presume that Maacah was Asa's mother and Abijam's wife, except that I Kings 15:2 records this same Macaah as Abijam's mother. II Chronicles 11:20-22 elaborates further that Maacah was Rehoboam's favorite wife and that he passed over other sons to designate her son Abijam as crown prince. Finally, complicating things all the more, II Chron 13:2 records the name of Abijam's mother as Micaiah daughter of Uriel of Gibeah.
Given all this contradictory information, there are two different possibilities: (1) Micaiah daughter of Urial and Maacah daughter of Absalom were two different people who have been confused. The former was the Rehoboam's wife; the latter was Abijam's wife and Asa's mother. (2) There was only one Micaiah/Maacah. Abijam and Asa were brothers rather than father and son. Micaiah/Maacah was so respected politically that even when her first son, Abijam, dies she was able to secure the throne for her second son, Asa.[1]
In either case, whether she was in fact his mother or grandmother, Maacah served as queen mother to Asa. Her chief function was senior counselor to the king. Maacah took a leadership role in the "Jerusalem cult," which worshiped local, non-Judaic gods, and when Asa reformed it he deposed Maacah for erecting an image for Asherah.[2]
Maacah is also used in the Bible to refer to:
- A child of Abraham's brother Nachor, evidently a boy. (Gen. 22:23,24)
- The wife of Machir, Manasseh's son. (1. Chr. 7:15-16)
- One of the wives of Hezron's son Caleb. (1. Chr 2:48)
- A wife of David, and daughter of Talmai, King of Geshur (ib. iii. 3), a near neighbor of the Maachathites. David begat Absalom and Tamar with her.
- A King of Gath, to whose son, Achish, Shimei's servants fled early in Solomon's reign (1. Kings 2:39). About a half-century earlier than this event, David with 600 men had fled to Achish, son of Maoch, King of Gath (1. Samuel 27:2); but the identification of Maoch is doubtful, though kinship is exceedingly probable.
- The wife of Rehoboam, King of Judah, and mother of Abijam; in 1. Kings 15:2 she is called the daughter (or granddaughter) of Abishalom, but of "Absalom" in 2 Chronicles 11:20, 21. Hence, she was a granddaughter of King David's wife Maacah (above). She was removed from her position as queen mother by her grandson Asa (ib. xv. 16) because she had been involved in idolatry.
- The wife of Jeiel. (1.Chr. 8:29)
- The father of Hanan, who was a man in David's army. (1. Chr. 11:43)
- The father of Shephatiah, who was an office man in David's time. (1. Chr. 27:16)
The name is also used to refer to:
- A small Aramean kingdom east of the Sea of Galilee (I Chronicles 19:6). Its territory was in the region assigned to the half-tribe of Manasseh east of the Jordan. Maacah, its king, became a mercenary of the Ammonites in their war against David (II Samuel 10:6). It is probable that the city Abel of Beth-maachah in Naphtali (ib. xx. 15) derived its name from its relation to this kingdom and people.

Text in a book can change over the years due to Rewrites (By the Church), but an inscription in Rock will remain the same over the years (unless Weather damaged) which the Text had not been damaged due to weather. I just find it amusing when i see posts here saying there is no physical proof of Nibiru, ...... well then tell that to the Sumerians and their artefacts.

Hello everyone,
we're a bunch of Germans and we're arriving pretty late in the week (Friday).
I was wondering if we would find any space left as BM is sold out? Is there some restriction that people can't spread and set up their camps as big as they want so that there is space left for the late arrivals?
Having all 5 RVs together and having a little camp would be a cool thing but I'm afraid not even getting some empty spots.
What do you think? Are we running out of space? How can we avoid not finding any spots except arriving earlier?
This is no option as we're getting married on Wednesday in Vegas and starting our way to BM on Thursday after we're able again to hit the road.
Any advise which kills our fears will be highly appreciated.
Flame on,

Bollywood is coming to your home computer screen, thanks to the aptly named COW.
If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you'd better start your education right now. Because while you were worrying about something that's not that important -- such as the inevitable shifting of lower-grade tech jobs from places like San Jose, Calif., and Phoenix to places like Bangalore, India, and Bangkok, Thailand -- another phenomenon is emerging that should have you very scared. This is the one in which the risk-taking of high-tech moves offshore to other nations -- and with it the potential for rapid growth, economic power and technical leadership.
A perfect example of this can be found in the story I referenced above. To translate: a clever new company based in San Diego, called Cinema on Web, has begun to license the Indian film industry (Bollywood), which is the most productive in the world, to offer all first-run movies on the Internet for a small fee.
The deal for the moviemakers is brilliant in its simplicity: In exchange for delivering their content to COW, they are allowed to set their own ticket prices. This brings a new dynamic to the price/demand equation that we currently don't see in traditional theaters or cable PPV, where you are obliged to pay the same price whether you are watching "The Rules of the Game" or "Gigli."
In theory, a filmmaker selling a flick on COW might choose to charge a buck a view in hopes of a mass audience for a mediocre movie, or ten bucks for a high-quality film targeted at a more exclusive or affluent audience -- or, after monitoring sales in real time, even adjust the ticket price dynamically with a changing audience or shelf life. This feature alone, uniquely possible with the Internet, makes the COW concept interesting.
Needless to say, that's only part of it. For the moviemaker, the appeal of COW rests not only on potentially vast distribution -- no long drives to a cruddy shopping center multiplex, no waiting for third-tier theaters to get scratchy copies late from the distributor -- but also security.
As Al Mason, COW's chief executive officer, noted when he announced the project, thanks to piracy, every new Bollywood film is inevitably available on Internet download sites before it even premieres in theaters. Understandably, this drives Indian studios completely nuts, and they are thus more than motivated to find an alternative -- even if it means adopting a radically new distribution system.
COW is one company's attempt to answer that need. As part of its solution, the company has teamed with technical partner DivXNetworks, which creates an Open Video system that allows filmmakers to deliver broadcast-quality movies to customers -- and take their money in return -- on secure networks available in a wide range of formats (wireless, dial-up, mobile and broadband) to an equally wide range of platforms, from PCs to consumer devices to, one assumes, even cell phones. This kind of versatility is especially important, given the likelihood that many future customers are likely to come from the developing world.

G.I. Joe
Show Reviews (24)
I'm just kidding, I just love those GI Joe PSA's on ebaumsworld. You know, the dubbed ones. Freakin' hilarious. Favorites are: Ice, Porkchop sandwiches, the computer guy, the "mememem" guy, motorcycle guy, indian !, what am I saying, each and every one is hilarious, but I have to say the BEST one is either Ice...or that short little one where the kid falls off the cliff!! Hahahahahahahah!! It's like 5 seconds long but the last frame is his terrified face! Hahaha! You have to go to ebaumsworld and look it up. You will be crying so hard. OH OH! Don't forget the one with the robot and the fire where the robot kills the two kids!moreless
Good animation, voice acting, and interesting characters can't shield its theme
I did give this show a chance and I do see some good factors (Duke cares about his teammates and rescues civilians, Snake Eyes sacrifices himself at one point and they are protecting society). The animation is very good for a saturday morning show and the voice actors do a great job. But the reason I'm being so hard on this show is that is glorifies war (fantasy or not) and portrays it very unrealistically with no deaths, let alone serious injury. War is hardly ever justified (I'm not a pacifist) and only three wars were in our history (Revolutionary, Civil, and WWII). Unlike Star Wars where the characters picked their battles very carefully, war is the solution and an everyday thing. Although it is worth seeing for the compelling schemes and rescues, the tiresome "plots" are about good enough to fit on the back of a postcard, giving me more reason to find better things to watch/do.moreless
Force of Action
Yeah I'm a G.I. Joe fan not a big one though, I played with the toys when I was 7, even played the video games that I enjoy (the first Nintendo game and my favorate the Konami arcade game), a comic book series whcih is great due to it's developing plot and characters as well as serious nature and I still collect today, but of course I've even watch the cartoon show which was a hell of a lot of fun and I still feel is a lot of fun because it has it's own kind of charm.
It's true some today may be put off by the slight light chessy campy nature of this show partial contains. But that's because you might not be looking at it right, if you take the entertainment medium too seriously you'll be missing the point let alone the fun. To me this show is practically a simple comic book basic format of good guys vs. bad guys nothing special but it's always in the execution of the conflict that matters. The fact that it doesn't take itself seriously is a good thing. It sort of has this satirical parody senability to it from the scams to the nature of both sides. This fact alone is why you might need to be in the right mood to want to watch. But what I like is you can actually like and care about both sides of the spectrum because of the good characteriazaion in both sides. Which is why most of the characters we know are memorable today, I'll state a few of them from both sides. Flint and Lady Jaye: Both are just a great duo as well as charracters individually. Flint is almost a Snake Solid like character he is determined, tough, charasmatic, a strong leader cares for his men and women and believes in doing what's right. Lady Jaye could be the equivalant of Meryl, defently good with her trademark weapon, confident, clever, determined, a bit naive sometimes, feisty, and femine.
Shipwreck: Always reminded me of actor Bruce Cambell for some strange reason, he was arrogant, reckless, rebelious funny, wisecracking, but always had a humanity within him. As well as always on a never ending pursuit for Cover Girl's affections though fails most of the time but hey I admire him for trying.
Storm Shadow: Awsome ninja antagonist that has both awsome moves but also engimatic in motive I always like charcters shrouded in mystery.
Baroness: I had a crush on this character when I was 7 what can I say I'm attracted to bad girls. From that sleck outfit she has on glasses with it, down to her persona which is always ruthless, sharp, smart, and there is always this warmth inside her that doesn't show but it's there.
The action was always a lot of fun even though a bit inconsistent (nobody ever really gets hit from the gunfire) let alone more laws of physics broken than a Hong Kong action film. But all the same fun we got different vehcles, gun and fistfights and even the explosions to go with it. The outcome may have always been predictable but it didn't really matter, Cobra's loss was sometimes funny because it wasn't so much the fact that the Joes won because they were tough and better organized than the Cobras but it was really incompetence and egotism that was the Cobra's organizations undoing. And the episodes were well writen and creative and inspired. Some were typical action not so serious like "The Gamemaster" which was the G.I. Joe version of "The Most Dangerous Game" or "Phantom Bregade". But there were some that were serious and suprisingly had emotion like the stand alone "Computer Complecations", the two parter "There's no place like Springfield" and my favorate of the entire show "Worlds Without End".
And who can forget those PSA which I always thought were hilarious but at the same time really educatonal. It was funny mainly because of those last lines in every one of them.
Children: Now we know.
G.I. Joe character: And knowing is half the battle.
Chorus: G.I. JOE
I swear that cracks me up every time I hear it. Or even the show opening where were the most exciting I've seen in any show.
The only bad things about the show are I don't like how it handled my favorite character in the entire comic book series "Snake Eyes" he has very little screen time and he has little to do. Most of all I'm a little disappointed they didn't have the friendship romantic dynamic between both him and Scarlett and that disappoints me since their my favorite couple in the comic series, but oh well this is a flaw I can get past.
Overall the comic book series is clearly better, but
I like this show and enjoy it for what it is because it has a different kind of charm and is simply fun, Yo, Joe!moreless
"Now you know, and knowing is half the battle" "G.I. Joe the real American Hero." This was truely an 80's classic.
The show was entertaining, and really not that violent considering they were always fighting wars it wasn't graphic. There always was the Public Service Announcement at the end telling you how to get out of a fire, or to not talk to strangers etc. So the show was sort of educational as well. I wasn't a huge fan, but I enjoyed watching it, I had buddies, who had alot of the action figures and vehicles, I had some, but was more into other things. I still thought this show was great and fun to watch. It will always be an 80's icon.moreless
Gets worse over time.
Back in 85 when I was six I loved this show. There was Snake Eyes, Duke, Flint, Cobra Commander, Scarlet, Zartan and others. The story seemed great, the action at the time was great. I loved it when I was 6, 7, and 8. Sadly that was then this is now. GI-Joe is another show that doesn't age well with time, like Voltron and the A Team. First the animation just doesn't hold up. The story is still ok, but what really gets me is the action. You have these very well trained and no one gets killed. In some shows you have over one hundred men shooting at each other and no one gets killed or really injured. Come on this is war. I was only 6, but I knew what war was seeing it on the news. My uncle fought and died in vietnam, both my grandfathers fought in World War 2. At the time I was also watching Transformers, Voltron, Robotech, and Moblie Suit Gundam. So GI Joe has no excuse.moreless
Funny yet Mine-less
G.I. Joe Replaced Battle B-Daman (Better & funnier) on G4's Action Blast & Why did it replaced B-Daman?
I mean if you want a classic to return why not "Super Mario Brother's Super Show" or "Case Closed"

What an awesome 80s show.
This is one of those shows. If you were around in the early eighties you most likely watched it (unless you were very very girly). I was a big tomboy when I was little and I LOVED this show. I still have a GI Joe shirt. I even have a GI Joe by my computer at work (Shipwreck). This show was awesome! A personal favorite. Yo Joe! I still know all the words to the theme song. Maybe this is why I have always found miltary men more attractive than others... LOL! And of course who could forget the ending. "Now you know and knowing is half the battle. GI JOE!"moreless
Classic Eighties Cartoon
This show was it when I was in high school. I lived, breathed and talked this show. I could mimmick all the voices, write my own stories with them and collect all the figures. This cartoon had it all! Great stories, wonderful humor, incredible action and all the women were complete babes, especially the Baroness with her tight black body suit (almost a precursor to Michelle Pfeiffer as the Catwoman). The heroes were a lot like Hogan's Heroes or the A-Team; almost completely infallible and always prepared. Spawning the cartoon toy merchandise phenomenon, however, it opened itself up to rip-offs, parodies and spoofs. There has been very few modern carttons to reach this height of greatness. Unfortunately, nothing this good lasts for long. GIJoe the Movie with Don Johnson and Burgess Meredith marked the end as the series was taken over by other producers and quickly ruined with stupid situations, bad stories, lousy animations and everyone's favorite characters eliminated. With that sort of damage, the legacy ended not with a bang (the movie) but with a whimper, and the kids of today were insulted with horrible cartoons with football-headed psycho babies and idiot talking sponges at the bottom of the creek or whatever.moreless

Support group for Mothers of Pre-Schoolers is branching out
For a few years now, the Mothers of Pre-Schoolers group that meets monthly at First Baptist Church has been going about the day-to-day business of nurturing its members.
Now the group is branching out and has planted a second monthly MOPS meeting at the Salvation Army on Washington Street.
"Mainly we wanted to open it up to more moms in the community," said Stephanie Buzzell, the coordinator of the local MOPS organization. MOPS is international in its scope.
The group is for stay-at-home moms, working moms, single moms, married moms, churchgoing moms and moms who don't practice any particular faith.
Although it is a faith-based group, MOPS introduces a variety of subjects to the women who meet monthly for breakfast, crafts, small-group discussions and featured speakers.
Childcare is provided for the meetings. The morning meeting takes place from 9-11:30 a.m. at First Baptist on the second Friday of the month, and the evening meeting takes place from 6-7 p.m. at the Salvation Army on the second Monday of the month. MOPS meets throughout the school year, takes a break in the summer, and starts again in September.
"It's a place to go and meet other moms," Buzzell said. "You make friendships and share what each other is going through. You learn that what you're going through is normal."
They started the Salvation Army outreach in February as an evening meeting, and the response already has been good, Buzzell said.
The MOPS group also has a binder cookbook to which group members contribute their favorite recipes. At the April Salvation Army meeting on April 9, which will feature a program about food and nutrition by Henderson County Extension Agent for Family & Consumer Sciences Amanda Hardy, the cookbook will be awarded as a door prize.
Just like the cookbook, the MOPS group is a resource, its members say. The participants provide ministry care for other group members if they have an illness or other crisis situation, like they did for one member who broke her leg. MOPS moms came and cleaned her house.
And it's a place to plug in if you're new to a community.
"They can find a MOPS group in any town they want to move to," Buzzell said.

What's so good?

Taking a page from Nicolas Jaar's Bluewave Edits, Lil' Wayne's gravely voice is slowed down to a molasses pace. Vlooper manages to make the grimy rapper sound -- dare I say it? -- almost classy. This extrapolated sophistication from Wayne's overtly self-inflating lyrics is paired with a jazzy, spaced out beat complete with flutters of piano. The combination is perfect.
This remix is a part of a compilation called Booty Based Mob, which can be streamed and downloaded here. Vlooper's SoundCloud page also features similarly styled remixed of Kendrick Lemar and Missy Elliot, which are both highly recommended.

I like her and Phil and would be sad if they split. I think Fern went through a personality change when she initially lost her weight and was super thin, turning up in skin-tight dresses, enormous heels and doing the splits etc. I guess aging is no fun for anyone in the media and it must have been a shock when she found herself out of work after leaving This Morning.All these comments about how she wanted to be with her kids and do gardening and learn Italian seems a bit ridiculous. Now all we get are articles about her weight, her tattoo, gastric bands etc and she never seems to work anymore as a TV presenter !! It must be irritating to see how well Holly has filled her shoes on This Morning.
I wonder if the "wonderful relationshp" she had with Phil Schofield on the programme is still going strong. Never, ever see them together socialising. I guess it is "out of sight, out of mind"!!
I think their "wonderful relationship" disintegrated when Fern made her public confession about having a gastric band on TV with PS having to stand beside her, looking at her and not daring to look at the camera. That really was cringeworthy.

One alternate solution that might be useful with the subfile is to alwaysadvance the subfile screen so that the selected row, when
returned, is always returned at the top of the subfile (In some operationsthat could mean that the file's repositioning automatically
moves the records up so that the user finds the next desired record already onthe screen.)
That allows the problematic issue to become a feature. Maybe.

Marquette's Jamil Wilson believes transferring home to Milwaukee was the best decision he could have made three years ago. He talked to no other school and was eagerly welcomed back by Buzz Williams, who was determined not to lose the 6-foot-7 junior a second time. »Read Full Article

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — Mike Smith made a couple of tough saves in the opening minutes and later skated out to the boards to clear a puck and set up a scoring chance at the other end.
Coyotes defense paces 2-0 win over Stars
In other words, he looked a lot like the goalie who led the Phoenix Coyotes to the Western Conference finals a year ago.
So did the team in front of him.
Playing with confidence and poise for the first time this season, Smith stopped 17 shots, and the Coyotes were at their tight-checking best in front of him, leading to a 2-0 win over the Dallas Stars on Saturday night.
"He looked like Smitty out there," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett said. "It's the first game I'd say he looked confident all year."
After a loose start to the season, the Coyotes have been steadily building toward a game like this, getting back to the stay-at-home style that led them to the conference for the first time as an NHL franchise last season.
Phoenix kept the Stars to the outside offensively most of the night while getting sticks and their bodies in the way whenever they tried to shoot, holding Dallas without a shot for a 17-minute stretch of the second period.
When the Stars did get a shot on goal, Smith was there to turn it away, notching his 20th career shutout and first this season.
Nick Johnson scored his third goal of the season and Mikkel Boedker his second for the Coyotes, who have points in four straight games.
"We felt we've played solid for stretches of games, we just haven't finished a full 60 minutes," Coyotes captain Shane Doan said. "We were a little sloppy in the first period and Tip kind of gave it to us during the break. That second period was more like how we're going to have to play to win."
The Stars struggled most of the season offensively, coming into the game as one of the NHL's lowest-scoring teams. Dallas has had some luck against the Coyotes, though, scoring seven of its 17 goals in two wins against them.
That trend ended abruptly Saturday night.
Unable to solve Phoenix's push-it-to-the-outside defense or keep out of the penalty box, Dallas managed nine shots in the first two periods and allowed Phoenix to have seven power-play chances to lose for the fifth time in six games.
The Stars have been outshot in all nine games this season and are 1-14-2 in the second game of back-to-backs the past two seasons, including 0-3 this year.
"It comes down to penalties," Stars defenseman Trevor Daley said. "It you're going to be killing penalties, you're not going to get many chances. It's been kind of a theme around here right now."

This is the first in a series of posts where I will talk about my involvement in the TAP (Technology Adoption Program) and more specifically a project I was involved in to implement the SharePoint 2013 platform and Office Web Apps Server farm. I will be sharing my findings and experience that will hopefully help you to:
The series is broken down into the following articles that I will write:
This post will focus on providing an overview of the overall farm topology, the end to end build sequence from preparation to testing, recommended service accounts and the prerequisites.
The following diagram illustrates the high level overview of the steps required to implement and configure the SharePoint and Office Web Apps Server farms. The Office Web Apps server farm requires dedicated hardware and is no longer implemented as a SharePoint service application.
The server farm topology will have multiple tiers and each tier will have redundant server instances, this is the most common topology that provides an efficient physical and logical layout to support scaling out or scaling up, and provides better distribution of services across the member servers.
It is important to adopt an iterative design approach to analyse the architecture model, to verify that the model identifies all the elements that are required for the farm solution.
The Plan for monitoring in SharePoint 2013 TechNet article provides great introduction on tools and scenarios on how to best use them.
Redundant member servers are hosted on different Hyper-V hosts and Anti-Affinity helps to eliminate single points of failure. It is worth noting that the Deployment guide for SharePoint 2013 eBook, provides great detailed information regarding recommended practices when implementing SharePoint 2013 on a virtualised platform such as:
The following service accounts are what I have used to create the farm. This list may vary for your implementation depending on Server resources management versus least privilege security recommendation, required service applications and in general what works for your implementation based on the organisations security guidelines and policies.
Setup user account
(Install Account)
The Setup user account is used to run the following:
The server farm account is used to perform the following tasks:
A generic services account for grouped Service Applications
Application Pool Identity for SharePoint Web Services Default application
Application Pool Identity for the main web application
The User Profile Service account is used to run the following:
This is the Windows Service account for the SharePoint Server Search Service. This setting affects all Search Service Applications in the farm.
Search Admin Web Service application pool
Search Query and Site Settings Web Service application pool
Windows user credentials for the Search service application to use to access content when crawling
AppFabric Caching service
Office Web App Application pool account
Office web application Services Pool
Secure Store application Pool account
Now we are ready to implement SharePoint and configure the basic services. Look out for part two for detailed step by step scripted deployment and configuration of the farm.

GSPD Fly and Ride
Whelp... figured this would be a decent way to introduce myself.
Been riding airheads since I was a kid with my dad. Did lots of 2-up trips on his '71 R60/5, then even more on his '95 R100R Classic. When i turned 16, i got to ride the /5 behind him, and we put even more miles on.
here's a terrible (though the only one i have) pic of the /5. The bags are "enduro" bags that were molded specifically for the /5 (originally bought by a friend for his /2, but alas, they didn't fit).
After school, i moved back to the east coast (went to school in Colorado), and decided I needed a bike of my own. So i bought an airhead, of sorts:
2002 Ducati Monster 620 dark. "The Ugly Duc" Its fun, but not exactly a high mileage machine... i've done 400+ mile days, and you know it the next day.
So this summer, i decided to add to my fleet, and found a KTM 250 XC-F. And promptly caught the dirt itch. Raced a few WNYOA hare scrambles (got properly wrecked in the first one). After a few more long weekends on on the Duc, a new bike was decidedly in my future.
enough with the background, now on topic:
The R100GS PD.
Found this on Craigslist
83k, well maintained, circlipped. Called the current owner, turns out he's the father of a guy that used to work with me. Small world right...
So the bike's in Denver, CO, and i'm outside of Watkins Glen, NY. The only thing that seems reasonable here is fly out, and ride it home. Of course, if you've ever driven through the plains states, you know how horribly flat and straight everything is (sorry plains people, it really is boring).
To make the trip a bit more interesting, it only seemed right to make New Orleans be a destination on the way home, thus making an even better excuse to check off some states i've not been to yet. Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee will make 47 states for me (with solid plans to make AK number 50 next summer, another reason for the GS)
I fly to Denver tomorrow! Of course with this threatening, route changes may need to be made, but only time and weather will tell for those.
I'll be updating when i can, otherwise, i'll be back on Tuesday after Labor day!
Looks like a plan!Have fun,ride safe.
Looking forward to this!!! :lurk You've got a lot of airhead friends in and around Atlanta if you need a hand (beer or place to stay)....ride safe!
call if you need a ziptie
or something more oddball
GSlike when you go through
Safely in Denver. On the bus to Golden to meet some college friends and have a fresh cold one at Coor's Lab!
Other than the standard "the guy in the sear next to me is taking most of my seat as well," flights went just dandy!
Hotelling it tonight in Athens, Alabama. 1540 miles in the last 3 days. Headed for Deal's Gap tomorrow! Still on my phone, so no photos yet, but the load is certainly ADV worthy; knobbies included!
Have a fun ride!
Sweet, can't wait to see photos and hear cattales!
Almost home! At the 'rent's lake house for the night. I'll see if i can get some pictures up. I didn't take too many, but got a decent amount of video.
Rode through a LOT of rain today coming north from Seneca Rocks, WV. WV 72 south of US 219 is a terrible roadway in torrential downpours... though it could be worth a second look in sunny weather (even if the sun never shines on the road. its that buried in the woods).
Total right now is 2700+. Don't remember the exact number.
Started to lose oil from the head gasket on the right cylinder in Tennessee, but kept an eye on it, and added oil when i needed to (only an ounce or so a day). Not super stoked on that, but it's been running just fine, humming along!
Deal's Gap was amazing! Got GoPro of it, which i'll have to upload at some point. You can see that GS suspension getting its work out. There are pics on some of the "dragon photo" websites, late afternoon on the 31st.
more to come!
thats the stuff dreams are made of right there
Hey! Thats me!
I was stuck behind a suburban that was all over the road, and wouldn't pull over when i went by the killboy tent/sign. Lame

Rated 4 out of 5 by Kham17 Good business hotel I only stayed here one night while on a business trip, but had a pleasant experience. The staff was friendly and my room was slightly nicer than the average Sheraton. April 5, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by weddingtrvlr Great staff response! Despite it being an especially busy weekend at the hotel, the front desk staff was very friendly and accomodating. The room was clean, the beds more comfortable than I expected, the shower drained efficiently, and it was quiet. Like another reviewer mentioned, the headboard was worn, so updating needed. It was difficult to maintain heat in the room, as it seemed the a/c overrode it. Regardless, I am especially grateful to Linda in housekeeping, who located my phone charger when I realized I'd left it in the room after I returned home. She had it FedEx'd to me and I received it in two days. I thank the staff for their honesty, and to Linda for being so kind and diligent. The whole stay was a great customer service experience!

Rated 2 out of 5 by farmall69 This was probably a nice hotel 25 years ago Check in was kind of a hassle to unload being bombarded by the valet and their $24 service which I declined. The parking garage is one block away. The actual check in for the room keys was ok. Once completed with that ordeal I get to the room to find outdated furnishings which were in poor overall condition. Room 924 , once the pillows were moved it revealed that the vinyl upholstery on the left side of the head board was deteriorated. there was no extra roll of toilet paper in the bathroom and only a partial roll on the dispenser , mildew in the shower and windows that were so filthy that I had a hard time seeing the Elizabeth River. These issues were not just isolated to my room but numerous rooms. We were part of a wedding party and had a whole block of rooms. every room was this way in one way or another. Now , on to the WIFI connection. This is a SCAM! when logging onto the WIFI , you have to apparently look closely for a small block to check for the "FREE" WIFI. If not it defaults you to their "PREMIUM" high speed WIFI for $12.95 per connection. God help you if you log in more than once cause it is $12.95 per connection. SCAM SCAM SCAM . Next item : watch out for the bottles of water in the room. There are 3 bottles and on the first bottle it says "Free and Clear" . Yeah well , the second and third bottles are $2.00 a piece. Another SCAM! Then There is the Restaurant , Extremely OVERPRICED and nasty. I was served a soda which still had lip stick on the rim. I have the pictures to prove it. The server did not seem to care when I brought this to her attention and just got me a new glass. no offer to remove it from my check or anything. I will say I did not pay for it. Ther service was terrible at breakfast and took for ever. The food was mediocre at best. $14.00 for breakfast was a rip off! The last issue I had was with hotel Management. Mind you I was staying Friday and Saturday nights. Saturday afternoon at 12:30 pm a member of the hotel management team knocked on my door and kind of rudely asked if I knew that check out was at 12:00pm. I told him I had reservations for 2 nights. He looked at his clip board and looked puzzled. Apparently they double booked my room. He said everything was ok and left. THIS , Should never had happened! I have stayed at nicer better run hotels next to interstate off ramps. I was very disappointed with this hotel. The website is in no way an actual representation of the facility itself. I would not recommend this property to anyone. It will be interesting if any one contacts me regarding any of this. January 23, 2015

Rated 4 out of 5 by musicianX2 VMEA stay My colleague and I stayed here for the VMEA conference in November. It was fine. The restaurant was wonderful and the fitness room was the best I'd been in at any hotel - bar none! The elevators were prompt, safe and reliable, and the rooms were quiet and well appointed. I was disappointed one day when our room was never cleaned, nor were the towels removed and exchanged. In general, the rooms were also cleaned very late in the day, so it was tough to come back after one of the workshops and not have the opportunity to get into our room to rest or unload packages before the next workshop. The staff was friendly and helpful. The lobby area was very well appointed as well as relaxing for the days that our room wasn't ready in time. The location was beautiful on the water. November 24, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Peacegirl Loved the location on the river My room over looked the river and some Navy ships being repaired. The restaurant also overlooked the river. Beautiful place to have a restful stay. November 17, 2014

Rated 3 out of 5 by jdubub Reunion trip Stayed four days. Hotel felt old. No advertised shuttle service to or from airport. Cost versus facilities and dining on the high side. November 17, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by MCNVA Great location & facilities Convenient to downtown and easy access City Dock breakfast is awesome! November 10, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Mozman Nice hotel! My stay at this hotel was wonderful. The amenities in the room were delightful and the restaurant was excellent. Sam, our waitress was so personable and efficient!!The only suggestion I have is related to the pillows which, in my opinion, are way too soft. I like to have a firm pillow and will sometimes sleep on two if needed but these were way too soft to even do that. I did not sleep all that well and I think that's why. Other than that, I would stay here again but bring my own pillow! November 10, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by Abdual711 What a Dump for an expensive hotel On arrival to check in during a large convention they had only one person at the counter doing check in with a long (20 minute late) line. Really just 1 person doing check in's ! Next I had reserved a room with a king bed . The person handling check in's said one was not available but one might be later if I came back around 7:00 PM or I could take a room with 2 queens. I took the queens as I had already stood in line for 20 minutes. Got to my room and it was OK. The next morning NO HOT WATER in the bathroom. I took a quick shower in luke warm water and went to my meetings. The furnishings in the room were old and beat up. I have seen better furniture in a Salvation Army Thrift store. The next morning I had hot water in the shower to start with but it ran out just as my shower was almost over. Told the clerk at check out and she said it happens when everyone is on the same get up and go to a meeting schedule. They just don't have the capacity they need for the morning rush. I see no reason to return. This is the 2nd bad experience in 4 years with this place. November 9, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by solarsoar Nice place but parking facility is a walk More amenities in the room than in standard Sheratons. If you opt for self-parking, you have to go across the street to a parking building. Cost is $12 during the week, $8 during the weekend. November 4, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by cblasian LOVE MY ROOM I booked at the last minute and was able to get a great room and price. I love staying here. October 25, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Jymi F & B Staff We checked in late after a long and exhausting day. Your bar staff was already closed and cleaning up for the night. After seeing our forlorn and haggard faces, they offered us a night cap. We were able to unwind and relax on the outdoor patio, and we could not stop commenting on the intuitiveness and kindness of the restaurant/bar staff. Being in the service industry, we certainly recognize when employees go above and beyond what is required. Please extend our sincerest and warmest thanks for the closing shift in your restaurant/bar.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Preccie1 First Trip Using Sheraton Was attending a workshop which was great. Happy to say we got back soooo tired. Were very happy to come back to such a well appointed room.

Rated 5 out of 5 by hdpower Very Nice Hotel Enjoyed our stay , located in downtown Norfolk ..much to see and do within walking distance. The hotel, restaurant and facilities were very nice. Our room was decent but there was a lot of noise in the hallway with people walking by and being loud. The club level is awesome they have their own breakfast and h'orderves which is a bonus...not to forget the great Starbucks coffee !!! I will be staying there again in the future...had a great time !!! October 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by VAScott Nice hotel in a declining area Hotel is older but well maintained and clean. Many of the businesses in the Waterside have closed. Not much to do in the evening within walking distance. Long lines for check-in and not many CSRs in sight. October 21, 2014

Rated 5 out of 5 by jeanbean Excellent Really a great hotel and great staff. The food was good but not always hot. The only big negative we had was that the hotel was too cold and we do understand need to keep cold for controlling any airborne colds and such. We would recommend the hotel if friends or family are heading to Norfolk, VA. October 7, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Lisa1969 Good Hotel The hotel is nice, the surrounding area is lacking. The hotel was very busy which may have been the reason I was not given a SPG member room. Also, if you self park, be sure to have it stamped by hotel. I was not told this when checking in so I ended up with much more expensive parking. As for room service, crab soup and cakes were excellent. October 6, 2014
