What Did Gore Know…
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
MARGARET WARNER: Late yesterday, the Justice Department said it had launched a preliminary review of the Vice President's solicitation of campaign contributions in telephone calls from his White House office. Here with more on this is Ron Ostrow, who covers the Justice Department for the Los Angeles Times. And, Ron, first explain to us, what is a preliminary review? What does that mean?
RON OSTROW, Los Angeles Times: Well, under the independent counsel law now the attorney general has 30 days to determine whether the allegations, the information is specific and from a credible course.
MARGARET WARNER: Enough to trigger the next step in perhaps seeking an independent counsel?
RON OSTROW: That's right. The next step then is a full-blown 90 day investigation. When I say full-blown, it's not a full-scale criminal investigation, but it's a greater investigation, in which up to 90 days to determine whether there is sufficient cause to seek appointment of an independent counsel.
MARGARET WARNER: All right. Now, explain what is it the Vice President did–this factual situation–that has given rise to this?
RON OSTROW: That's given rise to the Justice Department's 30-day inquiry.
MARGARET WARNER: Yes.
RON OSTROW: That is the raising of the calls he made from his office. He raised funds for the campaign. The question why the Justice Department is now looking into it is that the attorney general until yesterday –has been saying that requirements–independent counsel–requiring–seeking appointment of an independent counsel have not been met. You didn't have a covered individual. It only covers the President, the Vice President, the cabinet officers, and some top officials. Now you do have a covered individual, the Vice President, and she was also drawing the distinction that–between soft and hard money. Hard money, of course, is that portion of that contribution that goes for an actual campaign, an actual candidate, a federal election race. Soft money is for party building, more general contribution, not for a specific race.
MARGARET WARNER: And just to explain this, when the story first came out about the Vice President had made phone calls from his office to raise money for the DNC, that was last March. The Vice President–both the Vice President and the Democratic National Committee saying all this was soft money.
RON OSTROW: That's correct.
MARGARET WARNER: And so what happened this week to change that assessment?
RON OSTROW: Well, there was the news report based on–news reports based on Vice President Gore's records that more than $100,000–I believe $120,000 of the money was–that he raised was placed into a hard money account, rather than soft money, thus, making it covered by the Federal Election Campaign Act and thus making it possible to have this 30-day inquiry.
MARGARET WARNER: All right. Explain what does the law actually say about the legality of a Vice President sitting in his office and making telephone calls to raise money?
RON OSTROW: Well, on its face, when you read the law, it seems to apply to contributions sought or received in federal property.
MARGARET WARNER: It bars it, in other words?
RON OSTROW: It seems to bar that, right. But if you look over the history of the law and those–the Vice President would argue–there are no cases where the solicitations–interpreted that way–solicitations from a federal building to a location off of federal property, businessman's office, a contributor's home, where that would be covered. It's meant originally, the law was enacted in the history of the legislation–so that you wouldn't have federal employers shaking down federal employees in a federal structure for campaign purposes.
MARGARET WARNER: So, in other words, you're saying the Vice President is really saying that–whether it went to hard or soft money is immaterial as far as he's concerned–making these phone calls, as long as he wasn't shaking down federal employees but calling business people outside, that there was nothing illegal about this.
RON OSTROW: That's the thrust of the argument. There's some dispute of whether the law is restricted to that point. And that will be–I don't know whether that will be settled in the 30 day preliminary inquiry here which just began determining whether it's specific and whether it's from a credible source. That would, I would think, would be more likely to be taken up in a 90-day full-blown–
MARGARET WARNER: You mean, you don't think that the attorney general has to make a determination, herself, on that particular point, does the law apply or doesn't it?
RON OSTROW: Not in the 30 day, at least not according to the wording of the independent counsel statute.
MARGARET WARNER: And how long could this whole process take before a decision is made whether to trigger a request for an independent counsel?
RON OSTROW: Well, if it goes beyond–determines that it is specific and it is credible, then you go into the 90-day period. Whether they need the full 90 days–and in many cases in the past they seem to have–you can even get an extension on that. But there are limitations in that 90-day investigation. You don't get to use a grand jury. You don't get to use other tools and a panoply–
MARGARET WARNER: So it could go on quite a while is what you're saying?
RON OSTROW: It could go to 90 days.
MARGARET WARNER: All right. Thank you very much. Jim.
JIM LEHRER: Yes. Now to Senators Specter and Torricelli. Same question, gentlemen. Sen. Torricelli, how serious does this phone call matter sound to you?
SEN. ROBERT TORRICELLI, (D) New Jersey: Well, actually, when I heard yesterday, that there's going to be a preliminary inquiry, I assumed that the attorney general would probably name an independent counsel. Now I'm not so sure for many of the same reasons that Mr. Ostrow outlined.
First is the question of the Vice President's intent, which is always a part of whether a criminal act has been committed. Clearly, it was his belief and his intention to be raising non-federal money. It was simply reallocated to the Democratic National Committee, not to his knowledge.
Second, the statute, itself, it's 100 years old. It was intended to protect against federal employees being solicited on federal property. That did not happen here. It was a telephone call, paid for by the Democratic National Committee, so there was no use of federal funding, to non-federal employees to solicit their contributions. So while I certainly do not endorse it as a means of public policy, indeed, I suspect neither the President or Vice President, on reflection, would themselves defend it on a public policy basis. It appears to be the necessary violation of a federal statute by a covered person from the perspective of the Justice Department. It probably did not happen. Therefore, my guess is a preliminary inquiry does not lead to an independent counsel.
JIM LEHRER: Sen. Specter.
SEN. ARLEN SPECTER, (R) Pennsylvania: My sense is that the Justice Department would not have taken the initial step unless they had pretty well decided to go all the way. What really happened here is a distinction which Attorney General Reno had made, which I did not think was well founded at the outset, that she had concluded that if someone had money paid over, which was soft money, it was not a political contribution, but if it was hard money, then it was a political contribution. And I think that distinction was not sound. Then when the evidence came to light, that Vice President Gore had received money which turned out to be hard money, she was left without the theory which had led her to deny independent counsel.
So it was the straw that broke the camel's back. But I think it had been building up in a context, in a much broader way, beyond these telephone calls. And I think that that was just the occasion where she really had to take this step.
JIM LEHRER: And you think she should do it, right?
SEN. ARLEN SPECTER: I think she should. And the best authority is Attorney General Reno, herself. And when she appeared at the Judiciary Committee confirmation hearing, she was very emphatic about the need for independent counsel if some ranking federal official was involved in the enumerated clash, and even beyond the reality, the appearance. So I think that she had held off beyond the point of no return.
JIM LEHRER: Is your committee going to look at this issue, or are you going to leave it to the Justice Department?
SEN. ARLEN SPECTER: Well, I think that the Judiciary Committee may have something more to say about independent counsel and may have some revision in the statute.
JIM LEHRER: But, I mean, at this particular–whether Vice President Gore violated any laws–any phone calls–are you going to have hearings on this?
SEN. ARLEN SPECTER: Well, my sense is that we probably will, but that depends upon how we proceed on many other matters–and we have a time limit. So it's impossible to say with certainty.
JIM LEHRER: Do you agree, Senator, that's an open question now?
SEN. ROBERT TORRICELLI: Well, it wouldn't surprise me if we didn't do hearings. This entire affair today has been the first pre-primary process of the year 2000 presidential race. But I think it would be a mistake.
JIM LEHRER: Meaning that Vice President Gore is probably going to run for President in the year 2000?
SEN. ROBERT TORRICELLI: The focus today–and there are so many campaign abuses clearly on both sides. You had to choose from them in scheduling this hearing today. The fact that one was chosen about Vice President Gore I think is no coincidence. I hope, however, the matter is left to the attorney general. I have enormous confidence in her. She never hesitated in naming independent counsels and dealing with fellow members of the Clinton cabinet. She named one dealing with the President, himself, in Whitewater She seemed to have made a judgment. This question will be made on the law, and I hope it stays that way.
JIM LEHRER: All right, gentlemen, thank you both very much.

10 Questions to Ask a Prospective SEO Company
Based on anecdotal proof I have actually collected after working in the digital-marketing room for 15 years, I'm positive stating that the vast majority of those hiring a Search Engine Optimization company wind up being dissatisfied.
While also the very best Search Engine Optimization agencies will not have a best performance history, some are better than others. Customers buying SEO solutions could save themselves time, frustration and money by asking the complying with easy questions:
Related: 10 Inquiries to Ask When Employing a SEO Professional
If you possess a self-storage company and really want a SEO company to aid you get more customers, the optimal shop would certainly have a tested past of securing them for other like business. The exact same applies when working with a Search Engine Optimization company to target a particular language or geography.
Yet, merely since an agency has actually collaborated with a firm like your own does not always suggest it will certainly do a much better work compared to an additional outfit that hasn't. Yet this is absolutely a factor to consider heavily.
2. Can you reveal me study? Whether the firm you're considering has worked before with a firm of your kind, study of its work will certainly enable you to view the outcomes delivered to various other business owners. Theoretically, this implies the company can additionally come through for you. Talking with an agency representative regarding the case studies will likewise help you understand how the organization works.
3. Can you provide recommendations? No company will intentionally provide as referrals the names of business owners dissatisfied with its work. Yet if a firm can't also provide three favorable recommendations, exactly what does that state?
4. What metric do you focus on one of the most? Shock! The right response is not positions– or traffic or web links. The type of Search Engine Optimization firm you want to work with will not ignore ranks or traffic as metrics in assessing a campaign's success but will mainly concentrate on consumer leads, sales or conversions of potential customers right into clients.
An agent of a good firm will certainly underpromise and overdeliver. While every circumstance is different, this generally implies the firm will vow early positive results within 4 to 6 months and even more sizable outcomes within six to 12 months.
It's not unreasonable for a SEO specialist to claim you will begin viewing factors relocating the best direction within 2 to 3 months, yet he or she should make it clear such results will likely not be the kind that impact the main metrics cited above.
SEO is a long-lasting strategy, and also if it is offered to you as a short-term solution to get sales, then relocate along to a firm where you'll be told the frank truth, even if it isn't really exactly what you want to listen to.
Any SEO company vowing a certain number of hyperlinks a month should have lack of confidence if not straight-out denial. The finest web links come naturally, from top notch sources like news or market internet sites.
Hyperlink building is more like conventional public relations. Any SEO company worth employing for link-building services need to be able to supply examples of top notch links built for other business owners as well as describe the process of just how they were obtained. Run away if there's a specific mention of acquiring hyperlinks or anything that suggests the company pays for web links.
Related: 5 Ways Google Is Transforming SEO
7. How has SEO altered over the past few years? It can be tricky to parse the solution to this. It's equally as right to say that SEO techniques have not changed in any way as it is to commentate they have been completely transformed. Individuals at a company that has consistently participated in Search Engine Optimization with creating top notch material and structure top quality web links might feel that very little has changed.
On the various other hand, Google has turned out significant changes to its search engine that make high-grade content as well as web links more valuable than in the past, while punishing low-quality content as well as links. Additionally, even more searches are being performed on cell phones.
As well as today more searches use "organic language," or total sentences, as opposed to simply a key phrase or two. This has actually changed keyword approach to a concentrate on much more on long-tail results as opposed to simply those "golden keywords" that lots of business owners assume will certainly bring them one of the most traffic.
The market norm appears to be to promise monthly records and also then not supply them. The optimal firm should vow month-to-month records (and also a lot more regular ones when essential), as well as when you speak to recommendations, validate that the business follows through.
Associated: 5 Things The majority of people Ignore Regional SEO
9. How do you price your services? The answer you're seeking isn't whether the company overprices its solutions or supplies a bargain, however whether it's providing fixed-price package deals or customized alternatives.
If you have a small company want neighborhood SEO that costs a number of hundred to a few thousand bucks a month, a repaired price-package might be a great fit. If your budget plan is $5,000 per month or even more, then possibly SEO is a more important solution for your business and also you really want a personalized customer service from an agency that could fit your changing needs.
10. What various other services do you offer? Are they incorporated? Perhaps you need an agency that does nothing yet Search Engine Optimization. Chances are that you could possibly benefit from various other digital-marketing customer services like web style, paid-search management, content advertising, conversion-rate optimization or marketing automation.
If the company offers these services, it's not sufficient to learned. You will certainly want to know exactly how these solutions are tied together behind the scenes. If your Search Engine Optimization is being managed by one man as well as paid search by an additional, however they never speak with each various other concerning your account, then useful information is being misused and also an approach is doing not have.
Your company expert need to explain how everyone linked to your account interacts in an incorporated fashion to ensure that the tactics made use of suit your digital-marketing technique.
Most clients attempting to hire a Search Engine Optimization firm do not ask these questions. Asking these questions and understanding the solutions will aid you stay clear of firms that may take your cash as well as provide little in return.
If you possess a self-storage company as well as want a SEO company to aid you get much more clients, the excellent store would have a tried and tested past history of protecting them for various other like business. The exact same uses when employing a SEO agency to target a specific language or geography.
The kind of Search Engine Optimization firm you want to function with won't ignore positions or website traffic as metrics in assessing a project's success but will mainly concentrate on customer leads, sales or conversions of prospective customers into business owners.
Any kind of SEO firm vowing a particular number of web links a month is worthy of suspicion if not straight-out denial. Perhaps you require an agency that does absolutely nothing yet SEO.

Some complaints are investigated internally by board or program staff. However, depending on the scope of an investigation, the complaint may be referred to the Office of Investigations and the complaint is assigned to an investigator. The Office of Investigations receives hundres of cases per year. Investigators make their best effort to complete an investigation within 180 days. There are circumstances, however, such as the complexity of the issues, number of witnesses, witness cooperation and the investigator's caseload which may affect the length of an investigation.
When a complaint is assigned to an investigator, the investigator acts as an impartial, neutral fact finder and does not "represent" the complainant, the board or program, or the licensee, certificate holder or registrant. The investigator may contact both the licensee and the complainant for more information. The majority of this work can be done by telephone. The investigator may also subpoena or otherwise obtain copies of pertinent documents, and where appropriate, may retain an expert consultant to review the case.
The investigator prepares a written report for the board or program to review. If the board or program determines there is probable cause to believe there has been a violation of law, a hearing may be held or the licensee may agree to a settlement. The case may also be referred to the Office of Expedited Settlement or the Office of the Attorney General.
For frequently asked questions for complainants, please refer to FAQs Concerning the Complainant.
For frequently asked questions for respondents, please refer to FAQs Concerning the Respondent.
The office can not release information to the public during the investigation. The investigation is CONFIDENTIAL. The office can answer general questions about the investigative process. Each case is assigned a case number. Please have the case number available when contacting the Office.

What's in your cooking tool chest...
I'm wondering what you recommend for your cooking tools.
I have a large and small peel.
I am going to fabricate and ash rake. Definately a metal bucket for coals.
I'm wondering about a hearth brush??
A wet towel and mop sound like good ideas? for cleaning and steaming...
I do love the digital laser thermometer gun!!
What other standard or specialized tools do you have in your tool chest?
As usual....thanks for your Sage advice...,Jim
Re: What's in your cooking tool chest...
Dough scraper.
Re: What's in your cooking tool chest...
My Bro in law needed a Peel. I personalized one for he and my sister. They seem to name everything, so I gave it the obvious name of Emma....
I made a bubble popper, but so far have only needed it once. It has come in handy for spinning pizza in the oven.
Still need to find a good ash scraper. I made one sorta like a hockey stick that works well but is too flimsy to double as a poker. Revision 2 will be much stronger.
My oven progress -

Re: What's in your cooking tool chest...
I remember using a small whisk broom quite a bit to get ash dust from the front of the oven area.
If you don't have lights a good quality clip on light.
If you plan on doing bread a good professional quality hand held spray bottle. You can use this to adhear toppings to the breads (seeds,etc.) and also use it to steam the oven. It also works good if your oven is a little too hot some spray on the hearth will cool it down. If you have a "hot" spot as my first oven did I always hit that area before I equalized the oven. When ever I forgot about this spot it almost always guaranteed the neighbor goats a treat of crunchy to say the least bread...
If you do a lot of bread or just pizza a hearth brush is a good tool. Most restaurant supply stores have em, get brass.
The Dough Scraper suggestion goes with out saying, if your gonna make dough of any kind get a dough scraper..For working with dough the scraper is like a trowel working with masonry you got to have it and a good one makes it much easier on your hands and wrist.

Sorry about that I usually preview but didn't this time. That was weird it made my eyeballs freak out.
Re: What's in your cooking tool chest...
Don't forget the 'log supports' to make the fire light easier and burn faster.
Yesterday, I needed to give the embers a bit of a boost to increase the oven temp, so put in a little more kindling wood and some small (2"redgum) split hardwood pieces on top of the spent coals and stood a metre back with the leaf blower idling and pointed into the oven floor. Within 10 seconds, it looked a little like a blast furnace inside, a real good way to wake up the fire.
I'm now thinking of mounting a small 12 volt blower (like from a car heater blower) alongside the vent (out of sight), with a variable speed control and a flexible hose to 'kick start' the fire when/if needed.
Re: What's in your cooking tool chest...
Heck forget the wood just use coal, mount the leaf blower instead of the fan and you can forge steel in there...
Yet it slices, dices and chops and its only 19.95 BUT WAIT theres more...
Sorry, forgot your an Aussie you may not know what the slices/dices refers to. Is the tag line for some really old infomercials here in the states. Hopefully you don't have them (infomercials)where you are but probably do..
CALL NOW only 15 min left...right, but how come I see the commercial every night?

Re: What's in your cooking tool chest...
your'e right, I have considered heating up some steel in the coals whilst heating the oven rather than lighting up the forge. I use coke rather than coal in the forge especially when using the blower to get the heat going.
I often have steel to reshape (making crow and jemmy bars from vehicle torsion suspension bars, reshaping crow bars and cold chisels, tempering steel, etc) and get into them with a small sledge hammer on the blacksmith's anvil whilst glowing red.
The log supports that I use in the Pompeii are a lovelly bright red in colour when I pull them out of the oven just prior to coking!
It is as much fun forging steel as it is making pizzas and bread but doesn't taste as good but you sweat a lot more!
Prevention is better than cure, - do it right the first time!
The more I learn, the more I realise how little I know

I'm trying to learn mips assembly at the moment. To that end, I wrote a very simple c program...
int main(){}
...and compiled it on a mips machine with the -S option to gcc to generate assembly code. Here is what the beginning of the main function looks like:
.ent main main: .frame $fp,8,$31 .mask 0x40000000,-8 .fmask 0x00000000,0
I then tried to figure out what this all means by looking at the documentation for gas, but I couldn't find any of these directives there. So what do they mean? Where can I find more information?

Corrine was great. She was able to sell our home in less than 30 days for the price we wanted. We are so happy we went to Corrine and would recommend her to all. I know we would use her again.
Corrine Oakes
23 Recent Sales (last 12 months)
Realtor (22 years experience)
- Specialties:
- Buyer's Agent,
- Listing Agent,
- Foreclosure,
- Short-Sale
Ratings & Reviews
Corrine Oakes approached my husband and me almost fifteen years ago regarding some property we owned. She helped us not only to sell that property but to find a replacement in a highly desirable area during a very competitive and difficult buyers' market. Her local knowledge is a big plus. She is persistent but not pushy, patient, and well-versed in current real estate trends, documentation, and lending aspects. I have referred her to friends and relatives and she has always come through. If I were buying or selling a home in this market, she would be at the top of my contact list. Despite some title complications with our recent purchase of a local property, Corrine stuck with the deal, and worked with the seller's realtor, the lender and most importantly, the title company to make sure our deal went through. Corrine showed professionalism and used her expertise to smooth issues out throughout the escrow. She deserves much of the credit for our successful close.
Corrine was wonderful in guiding us through the sale of our home of 35 years. Her knowledge of the market was a defiant plus for our situation. Corrine is personable and the same time very professional in all aspects. She took time with our questions and concerns and made us comfortable. We would recommend her to anyone.
I meet Corrine Oakes about 3 years ago. As my wife and I were thinking what to do with our home in Vallejo. We had or were moving to Oregon. Corrine was interested in what was best for us first before making a sale. Corrine told me the price she felt at the time I may get for the house. Along with the positive things and negative things about the home and what I could do to improve it's value. Corrine told me about the market at that time and suggested the following.. I could sell now during a low market for my type of home. Or wait and the market should improve sometime but may still get even lower for awhile. Corrine suggested I could rent the house if we wanted and wait. Corrine said rents were up even though prices were down. Corrine recomended a property management company and we rented the house out. The property management company did a great job. We rented and the market went lower then rebounded sharply over about 2 years... I called Corrine and asked her what she thought? The market was really good for our house and we told Corrine to sell. I asked Corrine to handle everything. She did the selling about as professional as you can get. Corrine worked with the property management company and quickly got the house ready to sell..The house was listed on a Monday sold on the following day for well over the listing and about 35% over what the house was worth 2 years earlier. In our opinion Corrine is the best because she cares about people and what is best for them. Corrine sincerely is an expert in her field! Mike and Sue
It took us 18 months to find a home in a particular neighborhood in Benicia. Our frustration caused us to approach multiple agents over that time, hoping to find an in-house listing. Corrine helped us write an offer on one particular home on which ultimately we were outbid, but I was impressed by her professionalism and attentiveness to our needs. She and her husband are definitely two of the better agents in town and I recommend meeting with them before choosing an agent to work with.
Our experience with Ms. Oakes was not very positive. We scheduled a meeting with her at her office to go view some properties but when we arrived for our meeting she was not there and co-worker seemed surprised to see us. Her co-worker called her and told us she'd arrive shortly. It turns out she was out playing golf and had forgotten all about our meeting. That didn't bode well.
When she finally arrived she didn't have any of her paperwork ready and had to print out all the information she said she'd already gathered.
After that we went out to look at the properties and she didn't seem to know where any of them were. Benicia is not a large city and we were very new to the area and we already had a better idea of where places were.
Needless to say, we were unimpressed with Ms. Oakes and her disinterested attitude toward us. We would not recommend her to anyone.
I remember this couple very well, active duty air force. Very nice, were on their way to Disneyland that weekend. I understand their frustration. Definately not my finest hour, as I had the appointment on a different day, and so was not prepared. Glad to know they have found a home to purchase, they are an asset to our community.
Corrine is by far one of the best realtors you could possibly work with. She is patient, knowledgable, sharp, and creative. Not only can she practically help you through the 'normal' buying and selling process practically in her sleep, she is well-qualified to help in the stickiest of situations that many buyers and sellers now face. She provides options, helps you think through the pros and cons of each one, and then calmly assists through the process. We've now bought 2 homes with Corrine's assistance and I can't name a thing I'd change. Both experiences have been stress-free and positive. You won't go wrong with Corrine.
Corrine is an outstanding agent. She has excellent listening skills and did an outstanding job selling our house. She returns missed calls in a timely manner and has a great attitude. We will definitely have her represent us again in the future.

Hostelworld "meet the world" by Lucky Generals
Rating: 5.0
By Simon S Kershaw, brandrepublic.com, Thursday, 04 October 2012 01:05PM
As the recession grinds on, some consumers are still foregoing big-ticket items for small treats.
However, as your grandmother said, every cloud has a silver lining. And the continuing tough climate may even present some advertisers with an opportunity.
EBay seems to think so. Judging from what your reviewer has seen, eBay is currently running a two-pronged strategy.
One part is a series of print executions for the campaign – "Buy the things you want with the stuff you don't."
So for example, we have a brand new shirt and the label inside the collar says, "THE BREAD MAKER THAT NEVER MADE IT OUT OF THE BOX".
A simple thought, simply executed. And while some people may be suffering during the double (or is it triple?) dip recession, eBay has splashed out on some full-colour, full-page ads. Nice.
The second part of the strategy promotes the Ebay mobile app. It's mentioned in the press ads, but it's the hero on 48-sheets.
Each poster has a smart-phone front and centre displaying the desirable items – with a background providing the context for the purchase.
So one headline says: "The perfect coat for the perfect storm". A selection of colourful, desirable jackets shown on the screen of the phone contrast neatly with the rainswept scene behind it.
It's an advertising idea rather than a reflection of the real purchase process, but at least it's written and art directed with some charm and wit.
For cash-strapped consumers, one could argue that eBay is performing a public service – de-clutter your life and get something you want without forking out money you don't have.
Even so, let's hope the recession-driven strategy becomes inappropriate sooner rather than later.

Beckenham Swimming Club News
For those of you who have already offered your help "thank you", however, we are still looking for a number of volunteers to help at one or both sessions to make the Meet run as smoothly as possible.
We need help on poolside (where you will have the perfect view to watch your child swim). There are other areas of help needed..... hospitality, entrance, raffle to name but a few.
If you have never helped before, please don't worry that you wont know what to do as you will be looked after and placed with someone who has. Helping can be fun and rewarding and, at the same time, enables the Club to run an efficient and successful Meet.
We are in need of raffle donations however big or small. Claire Burbidge from Gold Squad has once again kindly offered to collate and organise this years raffle. If you have any donations, please give to either myself or Claire.
To all those bakers out there........ it would be great if you could make/bake to help boost the Officials lunch (could you email me and let me know if you can help in this way).
Please note that the Spa is undergoing extensive renovations to the Reception Area. The temporary entrance will be through the café area. We will, once again, have the use of the downstairs studio for sign in. This room can be accessed from outside the front of the Spa (to the right of the main reception area). Please note that once swimmers have signed in they will not be able to enter the Spa internally, they will have to leave the sign in room and re enter through the temporary entrance. Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.
Also, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that the car park of the SPA, Beckenham is metered 7 days a week and we are under the impression that there is a 4 hour parking limit. However, there are many residential roads surrounding the Spa which do offer free parking on a Sunday.
We look forward to seeing you all on Sunday 5th July 2015.
If you have any further queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanks and regards
Julia Maxwell

Congratulations to Susie Rodgers who has been selected as apart of an 18-strong British contingent has been named to face the rest of the world at the IPC Swimming World Championships from 13 – 19 July in Glasgow.
The British Para-Swimming International Meet took place at Glasgow's Tollcross International Swimming Centre last weekend finishing on Sunday 29th March 2015. Susie Rodgers competed in the 50m Freestyle and Butterfly and 100m Freestyle.
Congratulations to Luke Gunning on his selection by British Swimming to represent GB at the forthcoming Multi Nation Open Meet in Lugano in May. This recognises Luke's hard work over the past few years including multiple National championships. Our Head Coach Tony Beckley has also been selected as one of the lead coaches for the trip. This builds on a particularly successful last 12 months for Tony who is the current holder of the British Swimming Coaches Association award as Disability Coach of the Year for his work with Paralympian Susie Rogers and London Coach of the Year.
Congratulations also to Lukas Antanavicius who has been selected in the Lithuanian squad for the European Youth Olympic Festival which is due to take place in Tbilisi in July/August 2015.
Well done all 3 of you.
From 1st March 2015 the rules which govern Licensed Open Meets have changed. This applies to our Club Championships. Most of our swimmers obtain their County Qualifying times at the Club Championships provided the Championships can be licensed. If the Championships are not licensed the children will not be able to use their times achieved at the Club Championships for entry into the Kents. As a result swimmers will need to enter Licensed Meets run elsewhere to achieve times which may prove more problematical for them and more expensive. It may also be worth noting that the new licensing criteria also mean that leagues cannot be licensed. So Kent Junior League and Arena League times will not be licensed and cannot be used for entry into County Championships. Swimmers are expected to enter the Club Championships in any event as this is a time when all the Club are present and camaraderie among the swimmers built up.
The new licensing Guidelines now require the following officials to be present at a Level Four gala – Club Championships.
Referee - Qualified to Judge 2S
Starter - Qualified to at least Judge 2
Judge of Stroke x 2 - Qualified to Judge 1
Chief Timekeeper x 1 - Doing the Judge 1 training and qualified as a timekeeper
Finish Judge x 2 - No qualification or training required.
Inspector of Turns / Timekeeper x 8 - Qualified as a timekeeper
Inspector of Turns x 4 - Qualified as a timekeeper.
The big change here is that Timekeepers need to be qualified so dragging parents off the balcony at the last minute in no longer an option. Also they need to be qualified as a timekeeper. Unfortunately Kent does not offer Timekeeper courses only Judge 1 courses, so although the requirement is for a qualified timekeeper we should read this as a Judge 1 in training.
Previously we were able to use any parent or swimmer over (16) as an official but the rules have been tightened by the ASA. We therefore need as many parents as possible to take the Judge 1 course and get the timekeeping bit signed off as a matter of urgency. The Club will bear the fee payable to the ASA for anyone undertaking the training. Please contact the Club Secretary Sharon McSpadden if you are interested in helping the Club in this way. Sharon's email is firstname.lastname@example.com
Luke, Micheal, Kunmi and Natasha were selected to swim for the London Regional Swimming Team that travelled to Amiens, France over the Valentines weekend to compete in the FNN Golden Tour 3rd International Meet. Tony was one of the London Region Coaches.
The championships proved to be of the highest quality with swimmers from France, Hungary, Germany, Sweden to name but a few. Throughout the weekend, World best times were swam and competition was very tough against Olympians and World Champions. Despite this the London Region team did well considering. Of the Beckenham Swim club swimmers, we all made Finals. My personal highlight was swimming in the next lane to multiple World Champion, Katinka Hosszú from Hungary and I was fortunate to swap hats with her at the end of the championships. We had a fantastic weekend and an incredible experience swimming against elite swimmers from Europe.

Many congratulations to our head coach, Tony Beckley, who was recently awarded the London ASA award for the Top Seniors Swimming Coach - a prestigious award and recognition of the excellent coaching Tony provides for Beckenham's swimmers. Although he trains Top Squad, as Beckenham's head coach he oversees coaching for all the squads within the club.
The award was presented to Tony by Kathy Hook, the President of London ASA, at the recent London Winter Championships held at the London Aquatic Centre.

Success for Beckenham Players in Kent U16 Water Polo
9th November 2014.
Kent beat Sussex and Essex to reach the final where they played Middlesex. This match started off quite evenly matched and at half time the score was 4 - 2 to Kent. Kent then really turned on the power in the second half and ran away to finish clear winners by 11 goals to 3. Coach Simon Woolley said "This was a fantastic all-round performance by the Kent Team. Their performance in the final and several of the goals they scored were outstanding."
The team comprised: Billy Sawyer (gk) Freddie Pearson (capt) Thomas Karam Isaas Edey James Spencer-Boyce James Guthrie Simon Newton Henry Simpson Buzz Robb Joe Charuy Sasha Tinkler-Davies Zet Roper-Blackman Ten of these came from Beckenham.
We all know that Tony Beckley is a top coach, but it is wonderful to see his efforts and achievements being recognised beyond the club and the Spa. Tony was one of eight coaches from around the country to be honoured at the recent British Swimming coaches' conference and awards dinner in Leeds.
He was presented with an award for "coaching excellence" in recognition of his work with Susie Rodgers. Susie took five golds and one silver at the Eindhoven 2014 IPC Swimming European Championships in August. She also broke another British record last week on 400m freestyle, so many congratulations to her too.
Beckenham is very proud of both Susie and Tony, and it is terrific to see their achievements being acknowledged in this way.
Beckenham swimmers end 2013/14 season with national & international success
14th August 2014.
Beckenham Swimming Club's top swimmers finished the year with a very successful trip to Sheffield for the British National Age Group and Youth Championships at the end of July and start of August. Tamara-Elise Elliott and Timothy Leberl represented BSC at the Age Group events, putting in some good swims and achieving a number of personal bests. Ruby Waters also participated in the open water race at Rother Valley Country Park.
Next it was the turn of the Youth swimmers, both in Sheffield and, for the open water events, at Rother Valley Country Park.
Top squad coach Tony Beckley took even more swimmers for individual events than last year's bumper crop. Many fine PBs were achieved at the end of what had been a particularly long season, but particular congratulations must go to Lauren Walton, who came second in the Ladies' Open Water 3km race and just a few days later won Bronze in the Open 800m freestyle and 400m freestyle events at Pond's Forge, Sheffield.
Luke Gunning took Bronze in the 15Yr/16Yr 100m and 200m butterfly events and Kunmi Ogunfeibo won Bronze in the 17/18 Yrs 100m Backstroke as well as reaching the finals in the Open 50m Backstroke. Natasha Sinha reached the finals in the 17Yrs/18Yrs 200m butterfly.
Beckenham also fielded teams for the Ladies' 4 x 100m freestyle event and the 4 x 100m medley event, in which the Beckenham girls improved significantly on their qualifying time. The boys entered the Men's 4 x 100m Freestyle event, which was less successful, and the 4 x 100m medley relay, in which they qualified for the final. They finished a creditable seventh, having taken more than four seconds off their qualifying time.
For Beckenham to come away with six medals at Nationals is a real achievement, and follows a very successful season at all levels within the club. Lauren is currently competing at Senior level at the European Open Water championships in Berlin, a tremendous feat with which to top off her Beckenham career.
And Lauren is not the only BSC swimmer to compete on the international stage this summer. Susie Rodgers has had a fantastic IPC European Championships in Eindhoven, winning five Gold medals and setting a new British record for 50m freestyle. As well as her 50m freestyle Gold, Susie took Golds in 100m and 400m freestyle, 50m butterfly and in a relay event. She also won the Silver medal in the 100m backstroke.
Tony Beckley expressed his delight at Beckenham's efforts throughout the club: "I couldn't be more proud of all my swimmers this year both in and out of the pool," he said.

Too scared to play the original on your own? This might be your chance.. (More coming soon)
Aug 5th, 2012 0 people agree 0 people don't
Playing a great HL mod like They Hunger in Sven Co-op is a new experience, just like any Co-op mod of HL. Although, this mod focuses specially in providing heal and weapons and spawn zombies in new places, therefore, in the combat instead of the story and another good things from the original mod. I didn't like the heavy zombie and the Otis zombie, not because of the difficulty, but it didn't fit well with the real ambience of They Hunger. Also, the mod allows you to play 2 of the 3 episodes, so the last one must be played in the original mod. I like the reviving teammate feature and the infinte supplies of ammo and health, but unfortunately distorts the unique gameplay of They Hunger. If you like just killing zombies and liked the environment of this mod, this is for you.

"Make sure you're not bashful about asking for support and help from friends and family that you love," he said, adding that that's what his wife did when he was away campaigning and she had to take care of their children by herself.
Responding to another question from Kyle Mazer, an 11-year-old Little League player from Millburn, NJ, who wanted to know whether the president missed his father on Father's Day, he replied: "You know, I can't say I miss my father, because I just didn't know him. And so, I don't have enough of an emotional bond there to miss him. I profoundly miss my grandfather. You know, I profoundly miss my mom. And my grandmother."
One father, Col. Steve Curda from Chicago, Ill., who is serving in Afghanistan, and who has missed two Father's Days with his daughters, asked the president what he would consider the most perfect Father's Day.
Spending time with his daughters – while they're still young enough to actually want to spend time with him -- makes a perfect Father's Day, the president said.
"It is not the big spectacular things," he said. "It's not the lavish birthday parties. It's not the big gifts. It is those moments when you're just together and you are enjoying each other's company. And that's the stuff that lasts. And I suspect that's what's going to last for them. You know, when they think back to their childhood. I think that's going to be probably what's most important."
He added that the White House and the First Lady's Office were committed to supporting military families. On Wednesday, the administration launched "Strong Fathers, Strong Families," a special initiative to draw on public and private sector resources to help men overcome the challenges of fatherhood.
Military families will get special attention, he said.
"One of the things we've been doing is talking about how every father who's deployed out there has access to Skype so that they can see and talk to their kids," he added.
Learn more about the "Strong Fathers, Strong Families," initiative here.
During the interview, Obama also expressed his desire to see the struggling American economy rebound, and reiterated his commitment to pushing for an extension of this year's payroll tax cut.
"Whatever incentives we can provide for businesses to hire more people and provide an investment climate where more businesses are out there trying to expand, the better off we're going to be. And so I'll be working with leadings in both parties, hopefully, to make the right decisions for the American people," he said.
"We've got to put more people back to work," he said.
National unemployment rose in May to 9.1 percent, up from 9 percent in April. Economists had expected unemployment to fall, so the May numbers were met with disappointment.
There are an estimated 13.9 million unemployed people in the United States.

Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad announced his intention to continue moving forward with the second year of a two-year program of institutional capacity-building to lay the groundwork for a future Palestinian state at a cabinet meeting held in Ramallah on Monday.
A document released by Fayyad's office forecasted that the PA would complete all the major reforms and initiatives necessary for the creation of an independent state within the coming year.
A report released two weeks ago by the PA government listed a number of "achievements" toward building institutions and infrastructure in the West Bank over the past 16 months.

Region: Southwest
Topic: Shrubs, Trees
Title: Why is cedar pollen so heavy this year?
Answered by: Barbara Medford and Joe Marcus
QUESTION:Dear Mr Smarty, Is this year a heavier than normal year for cedar pollen?? If so why?
As this answer is written-January 8, 2011-the pollen count of the Juniperus ashei (Ashe juniper), aka mountain cedar, is at nearly 7,000 grains per cubic meter of air. This is the highest it has been since January 6, 2004. We're not sure what could be considered a "normal" year, but it sure is higher than it has been for the last 7 years, right?
So now, you want to know why? And, we infer from that you also want us to make it stop. From the Image Archive of Central Texas Plants, University of Texas at Austin, here are some pictures and more information, including this statement: "In the absence of fire, Juniperus ashei quickly becomes the dominant tree in open areas of the eastern Hill Country--essentially, all of the green foliage on this hillside in west Austin (photo taken in Winter) is Juniperus ashei!"
The severity of a cedar pollen year is dependent on a number of factors: rainfall at key periods before and during the development of pollen-bearing cones, health, age and vigor of individual trees, density of tree populations, and wind, rain and temperature patterns during the season of pollen release. Location is also a factor. A daily comparison of the various pollen counts published by different reporting stations reveal a wide range of results. If you're just downwind of an Ashe juniper tree and observe a yellowish-gray cloud emanating from the tree and surrounding you, you can bet that the pollen count is off the charts compared to that reported on any TV news station.
Also, don't discount the possibility of changes in your own reaction to mountain cedar from year to year. Many lifelong residents of Central Texas report late-onset allergic reaction to Ashe juniper pollen with the severity of the reaction seeming to grow from year to year once it starts.
So, that's the first part of our answer-there are a whole lot of the cedars, and without risking habitations in the area, they cannot be controlled, as they historically were, by permitting wildfires to burn. One website, called People Against Cedars, has the idea of each person cutting down one cedar and planting some other tree native to the area to replace that. Somehow, while we think it's a good idea, we don't see that happening. If it's any comfort to you, read this previous Mr. Smarty Plants answer on what trees might replace the cedar elm. Unfortunately, the gist of our answer was that trees all pollinate, and a great proportion of those of us with noses are going to react negatively to some or all of those pollens.
Some of the other suggestions on what to do about cedar trees don't bear repeating on a website intended for family consumption, and aren't practical anyway. The Forest Service and the Fire Department both frown on flame throwers. Spraying a herbicide from airplanes would contaminate the air worse than the pollen, and if would kill a cedar, it certainly would do humans no good.
About the only solution we found widely acceptable was that of treating the symptom, not the cause; i.e., take anti-histamines, especially in Cedar High Season, or injections and keep a good supply of tissues on hand. There are various members of the genus Juniperus virtually all over North America. We all have to live somewhere, and breathe there. Oh, and one more thing-did you know that the Juniper trees that produce the pollen are all MALE?
