Four Directors Focus on the Drama of Brutality, With Mixed Results
In one moment, 12-year-old Komona (Rachel Mwanza) is doing ordinary chores in her village in an unnamed African country, and in the next rebel soldiers are forcing her to machine-gun her parents to death. Her trauma is far from over, and neither is yours. In fact, as War Witch (New Video DVD and streaming) unfolds, her trauma builds on itself. Starting with her parents, she sees dead people—eerie figures daubed white and blank-eyed—and rebel leader Great Tiger (Mazinga Mwinga) believes that gives his side the edge. She may try to flee, to begin to start over with something like a normal life, but her connection to the dead haunts her in more ways than one.
Canadian director Kim Nguyen's film begins at the kind of emotional pitch most films never reach—a self-orphaning—and it doesn't let up, or let down, from there. And it continues to be about family, whether its Komona's struggles to get along with her captors, her attempt to leave the war behind at the side of fellow soldier the Magician (Serge Kanyinda), or, eventually, her coming to terms with the baby she carries in her belly and is soon to bring into a world that has taken everything from her several times. One might be tempted to second-guess the fable-like quality of the story for potential patronization (compare War Witch's magical realism with, say, Elem Klimov's Come and See), but Mwanza's performance and Nguyen's lucid direction create indelible moment after indelible moment.
South Korean film Pieta (Image DVD, Blu-ray, and streaming) presents as more of a genre film than War Witch, but, as with so many South Korean films these days, it transcends genre while doing it. Twentysomething Gang-do (Lee Jung-jin) leads a pretty brutal existence himself, shaking down tardy loan-shark customers and crippling them for insurance money. But there's something unformed about him, from his perma-snarl to the way he humps his pillow in his sleep. And sure enough, all it takes is older woman Mi-son (Jo Min-soo) popping up and claiming to be the mother that abandoned him as a child to explain plenty about Gang-do, and to set writer/director Kim Ki-duk's plot in motion.
Kim has hopped back and forth over the border between art house and grindhouse for years now, and Pieta offers a bit of the best of both. Gang-do's sudden vulnerability nears over-the-top, as does the secret Mi-son keeps, but there's something so primal at the root of both characters that it's tough not to be drawn in.
In fact, Pieta packs a lot of the kind of essential emotional power that Derek Cianfrance's The Place Beyond the Pines (Universal DVD, Blu-ray, and streaming) really wishes it did. The director's follow-up to Blue Valentine starts out as an accomplished small-town noir, in which a dirtbag motorcycle stunt dude (Ryan Gosling) learns that he has an illegitimate son and, overcome with parental sentiment, starts robbing banks to provide for the family he just found out he had.
But Cianfrance is after bigger game. His story launches a second stage with a small-town cop (Bradley Cooper), equally somehow damaged at his core, and then a third stage featuring a next-gen showdown between the sons of the cop and robber (Emory Cohen and Dane DeHaan, respectively). Cianfrance shows real skill with some gripping chase/getaway scenes, and various other set-ups along the way, but the epic scope he's aiming for here eludes him. Gosling and Cooper are both charismatic, estimable actors, but they come off like they're working in pure default mode, generating little engagement up to handing things over to their outmatched onscreen progeny for the final, supposedly cathartic act. Animal Kingdom's Ben Mendelsohn has a great small turn as a hustling mechanic, but he also delivers one of the worst lines in recent cinema. In short, it's a wash.
Likewise, The Iceman (Millennium DVD, Blu-ray, and streaming) wants badly to punch in a class with Scorsesean and Coppolonian gangland sagas, but it barely rises above TV-movie class. Michael Shannon is an acquired taste, it's true, but he certainly bears both the menace and the depth to play Richie Kuklinski, a laconic brute spotted for his talent for violence and recruited to serve as a prolific hitman for a minor mobster (Ray Liotta). The supposed drama here is generated by the tension between Kuklinski's unflinching violence and his devotion to his wife (Winona Ryder—welcome back) and two daughters. But other than one scene in which the wife and kids get a glimpse of the fact that dad's a sociopath, director Ariel Vroman doesn't commit sufficiently to the tensions between Richie's domestic family and his crime family. And it certainly doesn't help that Vroman hired handsome Chris Evans and handsome-esque David Schwimmer to put on ridiculous wigs and play tough guys. Why not just hire actual ugly people who can act?

The Turbocharger plays an important role in your Audi. The turbocharger compresses air using a turbine and a compressor that are placed on a shared shaft. The purpose of the turbine is to extract the exhaust gases from the engine system. This exhaust gas is a byproduct of the engine so the gas can easily be used for compression in the turbocharger. This gas extracted by the turbine and then sent to the compressor in the turbocharger. The extracted gas is then compressed in a container.

Effective and affordable retinol cream

Posted by 4642602765842098796 on Jan 28, 2015
I picked this up when my prescription of tretinoin ran out and I was looking for more affordable options. I already know that retinol is effective for me, so this purchase was actually relatively safe.
My tip is for first time users to get a pea sized amount and smooth it all over your face. If it is a little too drying, use it every other night, and gradually build up usage as your skin improves. It is not a moisturizer substitute so you might need to put some moisturizer or serum on top. Also, always wear sunscreen the following morning!
I hope this can come in a tube, because products in jars degrade over time and become less effective.

Felt a bit of hotness upon application but results are really good. I've a love for retinol cause it really works. However, the content is barely less than half a bottle so hopefully the company will look into that.
Just started...
Posted by Reviewer1643272 on May 06, 2014
So I opened the jar and the color is almost a burnt yellow color, but it had no rotten odor to it. I contacted Madre Labs by email regarding the color and within a few short hours received a reply. They had me send them a pic of it, and I received a response back within minutes. They said the color is normal.
I don't know yet if it works but I have not had any negative reactions to it. Madre Labs, just like iHerb, continue to be top quality companies!
It works!

Left my skin very soft and smooth. Weird smell, but so glad it's not filled with perfume. I saw results from after a week of using it at night. It has evened out my skin tone, and decreased pore size dramatically. Great price.

Oxnard officers raise money for Special Olympics by waiting tables
It was a typical busy Tuesday night at Dominick's Italian Restaurant in Oxnard, with waiters expertly whipping drink and food orders to tables of hungry customers.
On closer inspection, however, some of the waiters — big, burly men with close-cropped hair — seemed to be holding the trays of beverages with a little more trepidation, using both hands to balance the glasses of sloshing liquid.
Officers from the Oxnard Police Department came out to wait tables in a Tip-A Cop fundraiser, part of the Law Enforcement Torch Run events that benefit Special Olympics.
"Some of the officers have been servers in college, and it's like riding a bicycle; they get right back into it. But some are absolutely comical. The look of terror on their faces is priceless," said Peggi Preston, regional director for Special Olympics Ventura County.
Lacey Henggeler, daughter of restaurant co-owner Brian Henggeler, said her partner for the evening, Oxnard police Sgt. Kevin Baysinger, was adept at serving pizza, pasta and other signature dishes.
"He's pretty good. He's been here every year, and he's getting better," she said before dispatching him to tables with the customers' checks. "They actually help out a lot. We can order them around."
Preston said the 14 Tip-A-Cop fundraisers held each year in Ventura County help raise money to send athletes to competitions such as the 2012 Special Olympics Summer Games in June in Long Beach.
In addition to working as servers, local officers participate in the torch relay before the area games each year.
"This is so much fun," Preston said. "Everybody has a blast, and people can see police in a different light than flashing red ones in their rearview mirror."
All tips collected at Tip-A Cop events are tax-deductible and go to the Special Olympics, which means servers are paid only minimum wage for the evening.
Brian Henggeler said the restaurant, which has been hosting the event for the past 10 years, offers the serving staff some money to make up for the lost wages.
Oxnard Police Chief Jeri Williams stopped by to pick up some food to take home. She commended her officers for donating their time.
"Part of our mission is protecting the community with exceptional service. We get so busy protecting that we overlook the second part: helping people in need," she said. "Service is at the crux of what we do. My officers really understand the service part."
Denise Zavala was at the event not only because her husband, Ron Zavala, was serving, but also because her son, Aaron Zavala, and son-in-law, Baysinger, were.
"Our other daughter, Amber Zavala, participates in the Special Olympics bowling and playing bocce ball," Denise Zavala said.
She added that her daughter is proud of medals she's earned as a special athlete.
"They think their medals are as good as the Olympians'," Denise Zavala said. "But they are always so happy if they win or if one of their teammates wins. And if someone falls down, they will all run to help. They may be called 'special needs,' but they are special people, and they're so much fun to be around."

Its been a while since I released a collection of note , as I've been concentrating releasing single tracks , and being involved in firstly , the "Touched" album , which was a project I highly believed in , for macmillan cancer relief , and lately , the Sectioned v4.0 compilation on Section 27 Records , and its been a great process , most notably for the networking opportunities and the new contacts I've made throughout………many thanks to Martin Boulton , Roel Funcken , Tom Roberts and Tam Ferrans in particular.
Now , however , is the time to release something new , called "communique"
You may or may not know that my studio is called "Transmission Studio" , and communique follows along that same theme of communication , and as music probably pre-dates written or spoken language , is more direct , to the point where a chinese person could understand a piece of music composed by a Bolivian , despite the lack of words or language.
I just have a few loose ends to tie up , but "Communique" will be released within weeks , via Section 27 records.
Thanks , as always , to Teo for the stunning cover artwork He has Imagineered.

Just read this yesterday in the newspapers (was it manila Bulletin?) and there's an ad for PLDT DSL along with their promo for the Guild Wars.
A copy of the full page ad can be found here and if you look closely (or maybe zoom in the image on the lower right corner), the connection speed for Plan 1995 is already at 768Kbps and for only Php3,000 per month, you can get as fast as 2Mbps. *sweet*
At first I thought maybe PLDT has again upgraded the connections of existing broadband subscribers to adjust for this new scheme but I checked my connection at home and it's still at 512Kbps.
I guess this rate is tied up with the Guild Wars promo. But 2Mbps connection is still way cool. Upgrade me, please!

The Mormon Passage of
George D. Watt
First British Convert, Scribe for Zion
USU's Mountain West Center Announces Evans Award
Nineteenth century Mormonism was a frontier religion with roots so entangled with the American experience as to be seen by some scholars as the most American of religions and by others as a direct critique of that experience. Yet it was also a missionary religion that through proselytizing quickly gained an international, if initially mostly Northern European, makeup.
This mix brought it a roster of interesting characters: frontiersmen and hardscrabble farmers; preachers and theologians; dreamers and idealists; craftsmen and social engineers. Although the Mormon elite soon took on, as elites do, a rather fixed, dynastic character, the social origins of its first-generation members were quite diverse. The Mormon Church at its beginning provided a good study in upward mobility.
George D. Watt was a self-educated English convert with both unusual, for the time and place of frontier Utah, clerical skills and ambitions to improve his status. A man with intellectual pretensions, he had little formal training but a strong will, avid curiosity, and appetite for knowledge. Those traits made up for what he lacked in schooling and drew him into what served as intellectual circles among the Mormon elite and, later, to the church's disenchanted fringe. They also made him, for a time, essential to Brigham Young as a clerk and reporter but sent him into religious and social exile, due to a contest of wills with his employer that Watt had no chance of winning.
Reputed to have been the first of the many English converts to the LDS church, Watt's repeatedly demonstrated ability to learn quickly made him an early master of Pitman shorthand, just then coming into use. Employing this skill, he made two important contributions to Mormon literature: First, based on that shorthand, he, more than anyone, created the "Deseret Alphabet," which now is a curiosity but then was an innovation that, intended to create a unique Mormon orthography and pedagogy, stands well for the broad attempt to build in Utah the wholly self-sufficient culture of the Kingdom of God. Second, his efficient note taking allowed him to take down the sermons of Young and other church leaders and publish them in the Journal of Discourses, an indispensable historical record.
In addition, Watt learned, thought, and wrote about a variety of subjects, from horticulture to spiritualism, which helped define him as a resident Utah intellectual. He eventually left the Mormon Church, but the records of his domestic life before and after that decision provide a rich portrait of the working of polygamous households, particularly complicated ones in his case.
Despite his accomplishments, because of his potential, George Watt's story is at heart a tragedy. His breach with Brigham Young resulted in social isolation, poverty, and rejection by friends and associates. He never, though, lost his sense of independence or his avid mind. Whether facing an economic affront or pressing, in writing, his own conclusions about life and God, he engaged the challenge where he found it.

I never realized that having someone in love with me could hurt so bad. I've always though "How can that person be upset when she has all these guys falling over her?"
It's because you feel them hurting by not being with you. You feel obligated to date the person even if you don't care to.
It hurts, it hurts me. I feel I love him, but I wonder if it's only pity. Could pity be disguised as love? I suppose it might could...
Why does it bother me if he likes her, too? It's not like I'm dating him. It's not like I'm hoping to date him. I think she likes him, though. She said she can't date him. Can't. But... It seems as if she wants to. Could she possible get past the "can't" is she really wanted to? Who knows.... Really, who knows? I'd like to meet them.

Discovering historic British houses and great castles
Posted: September 27, 2012|
IT's been dubbed the "Downton Effect". The lavish, period drama, now back on television screens for a third series, sparked a six per cent increase in visits to historic British houses and castles – a year-on-year rise since its first screening.
Now, with the promise of even more drama, romance and intrigue, the programme is set to draw more visitors to key, period destinations across Britain with those keen to get closer to Lady Mary or Mathew Crawley and a number of aristocrat-inspired activities.
Set on the fictional estate of Downton Abbey in North Yorkshire, the series follows the lives of the Crawley family and their servants during the reign of King George V. The latest series is set during the early 1920s, as the world was about to enter a new decade of flapper dresses and dances imported from America, while in Britain there were strikes, poverty for the returning soldiers, and a recession as the UK tried to manage its debt.
Most of the outdoor shoots and indoor filming for this, and the previous series, take place at Highclere Castle (www.highclerecastle.co.uk) near Newbury in Hampshire, about a three-hour drive from Torquay. Often described as the finest occupied mansion in England, the castle has been the home of the Earls of Carnarvon for more than 300 years and sits in its own 1,000 acres of 18th century parkland making it well worth a day trip or reason enough to drive off the M5 if heading to or from London.
The castle was the seat of the 5th Earl of Carnarvon, who discovered the Tomb of Tutankhamen in the Valley of the Kings in 1922. They also currently have a new Egyptian Exhibition in the cellars of the castle, to celebrate the 5th Earl's achievements. Admission to the castle costs £16 for adults and £9.50 for children.
If you want to make a weekend of it, you can stay in the same hotel as the Downton Abbey all-star cast at the Carnarvon Arms (www.thecarnarvonarmshotel.com) in Newbury where the likes of Dame Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville, Michelle Dockery, Dan Stevens, Jim Carter and Elizabeth McGovern are said to stay while filming.
The Grade II former coach house of neighbouring Highclere Castle, the "Arms" has recently undergone restoration by celebrity chef and television personality, Marco Pierre White and his team. It is now promoted as a "luxury inn hideaway" on the doorstep of the Berkshire countryside. Rooms are sophisticated in decor and the restaurant boasts "fine" cuisine, making it perfect for a short break to explore Downton country. Rooms cost from £89 on a bed and breakfast basis.
If you want to make more than a day or short stay of Downton tracking, pay a visit to the picturesque Cotswolds village of Bampton, where the Downton characters come to post telegrams at the Post Office. Again, this pretty, picturesque village of thatch cottages sits about a three-hour drive from Torquay, in between Swindon and Oxford, or a 50 minute drive from Highclere Castle if you're doing the whole Downton loop.
Bampton is also rumoured to be the setting for the highly-anticipated wedding which will feature in the third series. Seek out the shingle-roofed Bampton Coffee House in Market Square (01993 850929) for a quintessentially English tea and scones experience or stop for a spot of lunch at the Vineyard at Stockcross (www.the-vineyard.co.uk), an elegant hotel with a great restaurant and an impressive wine cellar. Maggie Smith, Downton's resident Dame, is rumoured to have stayed here during filming.
While in the area, vintage fashionistas can nab Lady Mary's sultry siren look at one of BVintage Bazaar Vintage Fairs (www.bvintagebazaar.co.uk) in the nearby typically English town of Henley-on-Thames, run by Sadie Boon and Berni Bailes. To add to their quintessentially British accolade, the pair were chosen by Windsor Royal to host a two-day vintage market to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
For those who favour vintage cars over vintage clothes, head to Beaulieu Motor Museum (www.beaulieu.co.uk) in the New Forest to drool over vehicles like the ones featured in Downton Abbey when Lady Cybill runs off with the chauffeur and Lady Edith learns to drive.
For avid fans eager to go out of their way or if you find yourself "up North" this year, head to Harewood House (www.harewood.org), just a few miles from Leeds. This 18th century stately home designed by Charles Barry, the same architect who designed Highclere Castle, has extensive servant quarters still fully intact where you can discover how the service staff lived and ensured that everything upstairs ran like clockwork. Above, you'll find decadent state rooms splashed with gold fixtures and sumptuous scarlet and duck-egg coloured walls. Admission costs £14 for adults or £7 for children.
Admirers of the gorgeous lacy gowns and elegant Edwardian furniture seen on screen shouldn't miss a chance to indulge in the Edwardian aesthetics in this part of the country, which is home to the V&A Museum (www.vam.ac.uk), Manchester Art Gallery (www.manchestergalleries.org) and Geffrye Museum (www.geffrye-museum.org.uk) which all house collections of costumes, décor and artefacts from the period.
To satiate the hankering for the Downton series, era and drama, you could also pay a visit to Brighton's Royal Pavilion (www.brighton-hove-rpml.org.uk/RoyalPavilion ) which, just like Downton Abbey, was used as a hospital during World War I, housing and recuperating troops from the Indian Corps wounded on the Western Front in France and Flanders.
Today, the pavilion houses a permanent exhibition containing paintings, archive photographs, contemporary accounts and film footage detailing a "remarkable and often forgotten" story. Admission costs £10 for adults and £5.70 for children.
Or there's the impressive, period estate that is Bovey Castle (www.boveycastle.com) for those who'd rather stay closer to home. Perfectly positioned in Dartmoor National Park, it makes for an ideal, local escape for an indulgent get-away in historical surroundings.
News that all Downton Fans will be happy to hear is, from next year, Brit Movie Tours (www.britmovietours.com) will be offering a new Downton Abbey Experience, allowing fans to experience life above and below stairs. These small group tours will take in all of the main locations featured in the show and give visitors the chance to experience aspects of Edwardian life in a Downton style setting.
Guests will get to hear anecdotes about the cast, filming and the production and also step back in time and live life as an Edwardian aristocrat. Tour costs £747 per person for a shared room and £897 per person for a single room.
So, if sitting on your sofa every Sunday to watch the weekly instalment of Downton Abbey simply isn't enough, there's a wealth of opportunity out there to fulfil your enthusiasm further and to forge your own path in the latest travel trend which has been dubbed "The Downton Effect".

Q: Please describe a rolandic episode or what is rolandic epilepsy --- especially in reference to a 42-48 month old female.
thank you
A: Rolandic epilepsy refers to a specific childhood syndrome that consists of focal motor seizures, usually involving the face and arm, and generalized tonic-clonic (convulsive) seizures. They are called "Rolandic" because the seizures starts in or near the Rolandic cortex, and there are distinctive EEG spikes in the Rolandic region. They are very familial, that is, they run in families, and it is common for siblings or parents to have had the same epilepsy as a child.
The good news is that they respond extremely well to seizure medications and that children almost always grow out of them by puberty. However, sometimes other epilepsies are mistaken for Rolandic epilepsy, and do not have the same prognosis for remission.

Lonrho Plc is pleased to announce that its wholly owned subsidiary, Lonrho Ports Ltd, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Government of Ghana, represented by the Minister of Transport, to be the sole developer and manager for a new oil logistics port in Western Ghana to service the growing demands of the offshore oil industry in Ghana. The proposed new port will be located on a 2,000 acre site and will be designated as the strategic 'one stop' location for supporting the rapidly growing oil, gas and petrochemical industry in Western Ghana. The first phase of the development will be 200 acres and will include an oil logistics port to provide international standard, efficient logistics for offshore oil companies as they increase production from Ghana.
The project has an initial concession term of 25 years renewable for a further 25 years and it is envisaged that the project will be a similar operation to Lonrho's successful Luba Freeport that handles all the oil industry requirements in Equatorial Guinea. Many of the clients for the new project will be the same as those at Luba Freeport and the new port in Ghana will become the centre of the oil industry activity for Ghana. Under the terms of the MOU Lonrho Ports has been granted the sole right, for a period of twelve months, to undertake an environmental impact study, wave and bathometric surveys and to design and optimize the project. Thereafter, subject to the viability of the project, Lonrho has the sole right to develop and manage the free port. Located in the Western Region of Ghana, the new port will be strategically located close to the Jubilee oil field, substantially improving the current logistics for servicing the offshore rigs. The project will bring direct economic benefits to the Western Region creating new employment opportunities in the region, supporting local companies and will be a stimulus for commercial growth.
David Lenigas, Executive Chairman of Lonrho, commented: "Ghana is one of the fastest growing economies in Africa and has already started commercial daily oil production from offshore fields, and production is forecast to increase substantially over the next five years. An international standard, highly efficient, well located, oil port in the Western Region is important to provide the required infrastructure to support this growing industry. Lonrho is very experienced in building oil service ports and is delighted to be developing this strategically important project in conjunction with the Government of Ghana."
The oil industry in sub Saharan Africa has become a crucial component of global production and a strong driver of economic growth. The infrastructure to support the industry needs to be developed to meet the production forecasts of the producers across the Continent.

Glee-ful Fashion Highlights From the 17th Annual SAG Awards
Sigh. With so many beautiful, expensive dresses gracing the red carpet, we could hardly keep up. Here are some of our fave Glee looks from the 17th Annual SAG Awards.
Lea Michele rocked a low-cut silvery white Oscar de la Renta dress. And yes, there was a super-cute belt involved.
Amber Riley sported a one-shouldered black Anne Barge gown, with lots of rosettes. Beautiful.
We received mixed messages from Heather Morris's strapless, pale gown. The bottom half said, "This is an awards show, so I will flow with abandon." The bust of the dress said, "This is a no-pressure party, so why not a few beads and some feathers?"
Jayma Mays showed a little bit of leg in an orange Jenny Packham gown. Mays told USA Today she felt like "a dainty princess" in it.

(ABC 6 News) -- One in seven, that's the number of Minnesotans with a drunk driving conviction on their record, and as we kick off St. Patty's Day weekend, police want to remind you don't drink and drive. Now, there's a tool to help.
Last year state patrol arrested nearly 350 people for DWI during the holiday weekend and they'll be out in full force again this year, but there's a way to know you've had too much before you get behind the wheel.
You hear people say, "Well I only had a couple," and that they're "fine to drive," but how do they really know? The intoxbox, gives you an answer.
"We're expecting to be full," said Manager of Whistle Binkies South Craig Kangas. Their bar is decked out in green and ready for one of their busiest nights of the year. "St. Patrick's day is a fun day for everybody but the most important thing is to have a plan before you go home," said Kangas.
"I just think at a time like this, when there's so many different options, it's just ridiculous for us to go out the door and not have a plan for the end of the evening," said Rochester resident Gale Julius. However, with DWI arrests by the hundreds each year in Minnesota, it's safe to say not everyone does. Which is why those at Whistle Binkies are trying to make safe choices easy.
"We certainly offer free rides through the cab service for anybody that wants one," said Kangas. That... and then there's the intoxbox. "We look at it as another way, as another tool for our customers to gage where they are at if they've had a few drinks," said Kangas.
It tells you your blood alcohol level. You put in a dollar in for one try, grab a straw, and blow. This might stop a few from getting behind the wheel, but not everyone else.
"There's a lot of drunk drivers out and people not paying attention, and aren't as 'on the ball' as they should be," said Julius. She says she's avoiding going out this weekend all together. "I don't think I'm going to go out. First of all, there's too many people out and I'm afraid of getting into accidents and things so I think I'm going to stay home," she said.
Still, those at Whistle Binkies encourage people to get out and enjoy the holiday. They just hope people will come with a plan. "Don't drink and drive, and get home safely. We want to see everyone the next day," said Kangas.
In Minnesota eleven people have died in crashes in the last five years during the St. Patrick's day holiday weekend. Two involved drunk driving.

The imagery and sound in Entering were performed 'live' by Donebauer and composer Simon Desorgher, and recorded in real time, using a colour TV studio at the Royal College of Art. Later Donebauer and Richard Monkhouse developed the Videokalos synthesiser, as an image-sound performance instrument. Entering was transmitted by the BBC in 1974.

BMW has a good habit of keeping its production vehicles very close to their concept forms. This holds true with the just revealed F10 M5 as well, which is extremely close to its concept form. The only visual difference we spot by sight is the sleeker/smaller mirrors which were not present on the concept M5 and the more aggressive sideskirts on the production M5. The wheels are simply a silver version of the gloss black wheels on the concept M5.
We've put together a set of comparison … CONTINUED
The official specs and full technical details on the F10 M5 have now been released. Our official F10 M5 information thread has now been updated with all technical specs, data, and media.
We have updated our F10 M5 info with a new set of hi-res wallpapers. Enjoy the views and download inside.
Presenting the first look at the official F10 M5 production model! These are leaked F10 M5 photos from AutoZeitung, a German publication.
The F10 M5 production is barely changed from the concept version, featuring the same exterior styling, except for more streamlined side view mirrors and more aggressive sideskirts on the production model, as we predicted.
The official press release and full set of photos will come early next week, followed by the public debut at the M Festival (next Thursday, June 23).
We've spotted a black F10 M5 prototype conducting some final testing. It wears a minimal amount of camouflage and the least amount of cover we'll see prior to seeing the production version. What you see is essentially the production version, including the mirrors and sideskirts which were not seen on the concept M5 model.
If you're tired of seeing spy photos of preproduction M5s, you won't have to wait much longer to see the production version. It will be revealed in just over two weeks time at … CONTINUED
Here are some new photos of an Alpine White FEP prototype. Looks to the M5 concept for a good idea of what the camouflaged parts will look like on the production M5, although the mirrors and sideskirts will be the versions seen on the test prototypes.
Expected to debut at the M Festival at the Nurburgring in just over a month, the F10 M5 will feature the S63 Twin Turbo V8, rumored to produce more power and torque than the equivalent X5/X6M unit while producing 25% less … CONTINUED
Southern California appears to be a hotbed for FEP stage F10 M5 prototype testing, as multiple test cars are spotted each week. Another black F10 M5 prototype was just spotted last week (video/photos inside). The chase car was no slouch – an E39 M5, and it still had problems keeping up in the beginning of the video.
Although it remains clad in camouflage, we already know what the production F10 M5 will essentially look like by referencing the F10 M5 Concept, albeit with the mirrors and sideskirts … CONTINUED
Now that the BMW Concept M5 has been shown to the public, BMW has basicly unwrapped their test fleet of M5s– because we all know the shape. The benefit of that for us is that we get a preview of the M5 in a variety of colors, and so far we've gotten to see the car in Silver and White. Other popular colors such as Monte Carlo Blue have been shown off in the past, but unfortunatly with the body cladding still on the … CONTINUED
Here are the first ever photos of the F10 M5 Concept's interior. Clearly seen is the tachometer's redline, DCT with Drivelogic, and unique M fixtures such as the M tri-color stitching and textured trim.
The F10 M5 concept has made its first public debut at a 2011 Shanghai Autoshow pre-show press event. The F10 M5 concept has previously only been shown in a private event hosted by BMW M GmbH at the Garching headquarters.
We undertook yesterday a photo comparison of the F10 M5 concept versus the E60 M5 concept. But how does the F10 M5 compare to its direct German rivals – the Mercedes Benz E63 AMG and the Audi RS6. Let's take a look below.
F10 M5: (official photos and info):
Engine: High revving twinpower turbo V8
Transmission: 7-speed M DCT with M Drivelogic (manual transmission option status still unknown)
Differential: Active M Differential
Tires Front 265/35/ ZR 20
Tires Rear 295/30 ZR 20
Engine: 6.2L V8 525bhp … CONTINUED
The F10 M5 concept was officially unveiled online today [official photos/video/info] to much excitement and anticipation. The F10 M5 represents the successor to the now fabled E60 M5, which began production in 2005 and ended last year. The F10 M5 concept's official press release photos reminded us much of the E60 M5 concept's debut photos. We've posted up some comparison photos below.
Not much technical info or specs have been released so far for the F10 M5, but what we do know is that the engine will … CONTINUED
Today marks the public release of the all new BMW Concept M5 ahead of its formal debut in Shanghai.
Now as you may have quickly noticed, the word 'concept' sits between BMW and M5, meaning this car is not yet the full production vehicle. In typical BMW M fashion, first a "concept" version of the car is rolled out to the public, in order to showcase what the car will look like, painted in stunning Chrome Shadow. After this car has been shown to the world, … CONTINUED
We recently posted the F10 M5 [URL="http://f10.5post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=501764"]teaser and trailer (with commentary)[/URL] from BMW, but here's the raw uncut footage, featuring nothing but the visuals and sounds from the F10 M5 undergoing winter testing. 30 minutes of pure unadulterated F10 M5 goodness. The F10 M5 concept's debut is nearly upon us so stay tuned for coverage!
Speculation around possible transmission options for the upcoming F10 M5 continues. Last week relieving news trickled in as EVO's Chris Harris and other outlets confirmed that BMW will not resort to their widely used 8-speed ZF automatic transmission but instead use a beefed up 7-speed M-DCT for the M5. This leaves one remaining 'mystery' regarding M5 transmission options — whether there will be a manual transmission available. German Focus appears to know more on the matter as they mention in a today's article about fast … CONTINUED
While we're all waiting for its official debut, BMW continues testing FEP prototypes of the F10 M5. Spotted in SoCal, here are more pictures of a beautiful M5 in Silverstone II, a nice silver color with a light blue hue already known from the E60 M5. The previous Silverstone II sighting was at the Schipol Airport in the Netherlands.
The M5 will feature a twin-turbo twin-scroll V8 with an output of at least 555hp (internal code S63) and — according to latest reports — mated to a … CONTINUED
More test drive reviews of F10 M5 prototype are trickling. Following Chris Harris' review last week, two German publications just published their first impressions on the F10 M5. Both Autobild and AMS confirm that a 7-speed DCT will be used, and both hint at an output of 560hp. According to AMS, BMW has also developed a new Limited Slip Differential. While the actual lock is still performed by visco clutches it now is able to work proactive and build-up lock even before one wheel loses … CONTINUED
We bring you more photos of the F10 M5 in beautiful monte carlo blue! Seen here is the expected production form of the F10 M5, with only front and rear details under any major camouflage. It is easy however to piece together what they look like from previous spy photos (posted below). The new M5 will be powered by a tweaked version of the S63 V8 twin turbo motor from the X5M/X6M, good for what we believe will be 585-600hp.
Also pictured are the best interior spy … CONTINUED

Dorset Coaches AGM (9.2.15) and proposed Development slides.
The slides paint a picture of the ECB CA national scene and the proposed Dorset develpment
plans. Coaches are important to all active cricketers whatever the age.
If we can increase the number of coaches then we should have an impact on the number of active
The slides are appended below:
Chairman's report December 2013
The Dorset CA currently (16 September 2013) has 132 members – slightly down on last years figure of 150 and 162 in 2011. (Worrying trend – in spite of training new coaches each year).
We have 23 members who are eligible but have not paid their 2013 memberships.
There are 34 whose CRBs have expired and not been renewed.
This churn is also seen at regional and national level and it is a concern. Although the coaches get a renewal application from the ECB CA, which is followed by a direct email from Dorset, the trend is disturbing.
Coaches matter. Coached players are more satisfied and want to play more. The information from the insight initiative has revealed that:
91% of women and 75% of men value coaching.
69% of senior players in clubs have not had coaching but would like it.
Those who have been coached are more likely to continue playing.
The ECB objective for the next few years is to get more people playing more cricket in
teams. This has informed the Dorset KPIs and will determine our ECB funding level.
Hence we need to try to do more to retain our coaches who in turn can increase the number of happy participants.
To this end I would like to have a vice-chairman to concentrate on why Dorset coaches
drop-out and what we can do to try to retain them to develop cricket in their clubs.
Coach Education
It has been a busy year for the Dorset Tutor group as the details of the new coaching courses emerged and regional training weekends and evenings were attended. (Not to mention the on-line course material which had to be reviewed).
The result is that Dorset plans to run UKCC L2 Childrens course and one UKCC2 Young Persons and Adults course next year. As well as Coach Support Worker and Coaching in Schools courses.
In November 17 Dorset coaches gathered for an afternoon with Gary Worgan (Regional Training manager) who gave us a taste for the rationale for the new courses and an overview of the development of coach education. One of the underpinning themes is that "body types" determine the way a person moves and there is no prescriptive way of doing something. Outcomes are key provided that the action is safe.
A very enjoyable afternoon with lots of discussion with fellow Dorset coaches and a chance to stop and throw balls around.
Sky sports Awards
This year (February) the Dorset nominations for the Sky sports awards were:
Outstanding contribution – Rob Newton.
Coach of the Year – Greg Parsons.
Young Coach of the year – none identified this year.
The ECB CA national conference was very thought provoking and stimulating.
The information on "body types" delivered by Lordy was both thought provoking and logical (consider Peterson and Bell hitting a cover drive). This research is part of the rationale for developing the new coach education courses. We want first-class coaches to develop world-class players.
The SW Regional conference at Taunton on 15th Feb 2014 has taken some effort to organise. The line-up should be impressive and the day stimulating.
The first fifty Dorset coaches applying will get a rebate of £10 – so at £35 for the day including lunch and refreshments - it is a great deal.
Look forward to seeing you all there.

Committee members are: Greg Parsons, Four district head coaches, Dorset Head Coach, Keith Brewer, Phil Calcott and Steve Bishopp – others will be co-opted as necessary.
a. Coach Education Programme: Rob Newton explained the outline for the future of the coaching programme. There will be one more L1 course planned for next year in March 2013. After that the existing qualification will finish and become either a Coaching Children (< U13) or Coaching Young Persons qualification (entry age will be 17 ½ years of age). The new qualification has been tested once. This will be an equivalent to L2 with diplomas as further qualifications. Courses will be going live in Sept 2013 with relevant CPD. They will heavily utilise the Howzat application. Rob was concerned that this qualification will mean the loss of the entry level qualification for volunteers (L1) who may not follow on. However, it is designed to produce L2 coaches who can lead sessions in their age-groups from under-U13 and then progress to over-U13. (Currently 60% of members do L1 only and do not progress. L1 is an assistant coach award only.) We need more L2 coaches who have technical competence and coaching competence). Neil Pack noted that most clubs relied heavily on their L1 support coaches before they went to University – this may impact on this support.
b. Richard Askew mentioned an issue concerning the transportation of U18s to a cricket match by coaches. Coaches are not responsible for transport (ECB "Safe Hands") and are advised not to transport children. It seems that adults transporting U18s must do this for free and must have third party insurance and passenger cover. If payment is given for travel, adults must have business insurance to ensure that they are properly covered should they be involved in an accident. (Note that payment is not normally the case with clubs). This means that Clubs arranging transport should ensure that adults must have at a minimum passenger cover. This applies to anybody providing transport to youth cricket matches. This is not yet a ClubMark requirement. This should be raised in the ECB CA national forum.
c. Each attendee was asked what they wanted from the Dorset CA:
Steve Bishopp mentioned that the Radcliff & Scott session two years ago as being particularly enabling. (Rob said that this was expensive course). For county and district coaches it was considered that having specialist high level coaches to run a session is very beneficial. The Richard Scott conference last year was also very beneficial. This year was fun but poorly attended. We need to attract the younger members.
d. Phil C mentioned about having more members so that more money could be available in order to enable this. Greg suggested having a Young Persons conference or setting up a Facebook page. Dave Barton agreed and mentioned about having someone with whom people could identify – can we get Paine to run a bowling session? We agreed that communicating effectively with the younger section was an issue to be addressed.
6. Meeting ended 20.20 but discussions continued.
MB to send email re 4th Feb committee meeting at Wimborne CC.
1. The Dorset CA currently has about 150 members – slightly down on last years figure of 162.
We have lost 30 members because of non-renewed CRB checks and a few who have just stopped coaching. There is an initiative to add club affiliation to the membership database. Hopefully, this will facilitate the CRB renewal process since 24 of our current members will have their CRB expire next year. Discussions at the national level at removing the link between membership criteria and CRB elicited the majority view that the ECB CA was for "practising coaches" who must have a valid CRB.
2. This year the Dorset Coach Education Tutor group have run two L1 courses and are currently running a L2 course. In January, we are starting a Club Coach Course and another L1 will be held in March 2013.
These courses will increase our membership numbers.
3. On the 17th November, 16 Dorset coaches gathered at Lytchett Manor School to play – something coaches rarely do. The theme was District cricket KPIs for the U10, U13 and U15 squads – the concept was briefly introduced in last years AGM.
The inner man was well supplied thanks to Debbie Calcott with sandwiches cakes, tea and coffee on tap.
We reviewed and experienced the tests and routines used to coach district U10 and U13 age-groups and EPP physical sessions. Matt Keetch (Dorset Youth Head coach) introduced some batting drills designed to promote agility, movement in the crease and balance.
Finally, Rob introduced an U15 batting medley and coaches joyfully hit balls with a variety of different shots and conditions.
A very enjoyable half-day conference but a very limited turnout of 16 including the presenters.
4. This year the Dorset nominations for the Sky sports awards were:
a. Outstanding contribution – Rob Newton – sadly Rob could not go to the event.
b. Coach of the Year – Sean Fitzgerald – who has been invited to the National conference.
c. Young Coach of the year – Dean Spicer for his work at Ellingham, district and county.
5. The ECB CA are holding a national conference in January 2013 at Warwick University on 26/27th January. We are using the local reward money to subsidise some coaches to go. There is still some money left to fund some more - volunteers please quickly step forward.
The SW Regional coaches forum is planning to hold a one day conference in Taunton in February 2014. It should be very affordable and feature some top names from the coaching world. It is hoped to use the local reward money to subsidise Dorset coaches to attend that event.

1. Minutes of the previous AGM
Accepted as a true record of the previous meeting.
2. Chairman's review
The ECB CA are planning to introduce three categories of membership in 2012. They also plan to increase the annual fee to £30.
We held a ½ day conference this year which was attended by about 30 members with Richard Scott the keynote speaker. All other presentations were given by Dorset coaches.
See the web site for the full re view
3. Local Reward and Recognition.
The ECB CA provide £500 to allow us to recognize and reward local coaches with a small thank you. This year the following were recognized for their work in Dorset:
Dean Spicer for his work as a young coach at Ellingham CC.
Duncan Crook for coaching and running so many teams at Broadstone CC.
Adie Prince for developing junior cricket at Wimborne CC.
David Cooper and John Maynard for their work over the years with the West Dorset Women's team.
Colin Moore for putting in the years organizing and coaching juniors at Stalbridge.
Terry Warder for his long years developing and supporting youth cricket at Shaftesbury CC.
Grant Neven for his years of developing cricket at Portland Red Triangle.
Hugh Shakell for many years spent developing Shillingstone CC juniors, North Dorset and Dorset girls cricket.
Barry Lewis, Chairman of the Dorset Cricket Board personally presented certificates and vouchers for £50 to those coaches who could attend the AGM – pictures attached.
Tom Snape was reappointed as Chairman and South West regional representative and Marissa Bartlett was re-elected as secretary. Dean Spicer volunteered to join the committee.
a. Half Day Conference
The conference was considered to be good value. Coaches particularly liked the Richard Scott keynote speech and the participatory sessions with Paul Tweedle and Sean Fitzgerald. It was noted that Rob Newton wore many hats that day – some with little notice – well done, Rob. Also thanks to Debbie and Phil Calcott who prepared and provided the food
It was expensive to put on - larger attendance and some sponsorship should be sought in future.
We also need to engage the L1s who were generally absent. Perhaps the word would spread and more would engage next time.
b. District cricket KPIs & best practice
The Dorset Cricket Board agreed to a Dorset Youth Committee proposal to develop a District Cricket training KPIs and best practice for all age-groups. It was hoped to convene an early meeting of the District head Coaches and the Dorset head Coach to generate these documents.
c. Coach Ed programme
A request was made to run a spring L2 programme in 2012. Rob Newton
responded by stating that we ran one in spring last year and only had 7 on the
course – not cost-effective. In 2011/12 it was decided to run 1 x L2 and the Club Coach Development workshops. In 2013 it is planned to run two L2 courses.
d. Chance to Shine
A Working in Schools module will be run in March or early April 2012.
e. U21 District Programme
6 sessions are being provided in each district. This is designed to counter the drop-off in playing from the 16 plus age group. The West had over 80 nominations.
f. Sky Sports Award
At the recent ceremony at Lords, Josh Digby was selected as Young Coach of the Year. Josh has been heavily involved with Dorset in the past.
g. Active Dorset County Sports Partnership – icoach
Rob Newton urged everybody to sigh up to icoach which is run by Clive Nelson. It provides a programme of coach development workshops and courses such as Safeguarding Children.
Barry Lewis, on behalf of the Board, thanked all coaches for their work in Dorset.
The meeting closed at 20:16 pm
Chairman's report December 2011
Dorset CA memberships numbered 163 in October 2011 and we received a rebate of £652 to spend on behalf of our membership. Last years payment funded the ½ day Dorset Coaches conference.
This year the Dorset nominations for the Sky sports awards were David Barton (Outstanding Contribution and Services to Cricket Coaching), Neil Pack (Outstanding Coaching contribution) and Steve Bishop (Young coach of the year). They were all selected as West regional finalists. David and Neil watched England Sri Lanka at Cardiff in May. I look forward to a report of their day in Wales for the next news letter.
We did not play our annual coaches game of cricket in the sun this year and so broke the traditional way of ending the season with a fun bash for coaches. This is a very good way of meeting fellow coaches and exchanging ideas, so I hope we do better next year and have "calypso" cricket at a convenient ground.
The ECB CA is growing and changing. The membership fee will probably rise to £30 next year but is still considered to be good value compared to fees charged by other sporting bodies. There are also proposals being discussed to have different categories of membership: Non-qualified, Qualified (Existing) and Performance Coach. This will be more difficult to administer and to provide support for the different classes. I am currently not in favour as it also creates an "elitist" structure.
It is likely that the national conference will be held in January 2013 at Warwickshire.
As usual, Dorset will hold two L1 and one L2 coaching courses in 2011/12. If members want more informal local workshops, please voice your needs!
At last year's AGM it was proposed that we hold a half-day conference. So we did. The theme was periodisation and the main speaker was Richard Scott who gave a presentation and demonstrations of some key parts of Middlesex's planned training regime. (No fast bowling until after Xmas, ensure all aware of what is expected, use recorded competitive activities to drive up fitness levels and skills and maintain a league of performance stats throughout the training programme). He also gave some insights into Middlesex's 40 over and 4 day game objectives. This was followed by active batting, bowling, fielding and keeping activities to progressively stretch players. Many thanks to everybody who presented or supported the event - great food – thanks Debbie.
Finally, it is a pleasure, once again, to be able to reward, in a small way, some local Dorset coaches who have made enormous contribution to their clubs and districts over the years.

Dear All,
Frome are looking for a senior coach - review and reply to Mike Cooper.
Frome Cricket Club
Coach Job Description
Frome CC is a long established Somerset Club currently going through a transitional period as we try to refresh and reinvigorate our senior sides. We run three senior teams with the 1st XI WEPL Somerset Division, 2nd XI in SCL Div 4 and 3rd XI in NSCL Sunday Div 1. In addition we run junior sides at U11, U13 and U15. We are a Focus Club and we have just completed a five year Chance to Shine programme.
We are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic coach, with a minimum of ECB Club Coach or L2 qualification together with an extant CRB clearance, who is comfortable coaching adult and junior cricketers alike. Membership of the ECB Coaches Association is highly desirable although the appropriate insurance cover is essential. Initially the appointment would be for the 2012 season but with the hope that a mutually acceptable longer term arrangement can be agreed. Ideally we are looking for an individual who can in addition to coaching also play at WEPL Somerset Division standard.
The following sections provides an initial outline of what we are seeking but the detail would be subject to negotiation and agreement with the appointed coach.
Senior Coaching
The senior coaching requirements would be:
· To plan and run a programme of pre-season indoor nets on a Sunday evening – start date TBC.
· To plan and run a two hour outdoor training session once a week on a Wednesday evening during the season.
· Two extra hours (flexible) per week one-to-one coaching with promising young senior cricketers aged roughly 16-21 during the season.
· There may also be scope, if not playing, to accompany the 1st XI on a Saturday to review on field performances.
Youth Coaching
· To plan and run a programme of pre-season indoor nets, primarily with U15 and more confident U13 players on a Friday evening starting in January.
· To plan and implement with age group coaches/volunteers 90 minute Friday evening spring/summer training sessions for U11 & U13 age groups.
· To plan and implement with U15 team coaches/volunteers 90 minute training session, possibly Thursday evening.
· Wherever possible, help out with junior fixtures on Monday/Tuesday evenings.
· Potentially co-ordinate and coach/captain some friendly fixtures (say 3 or 4 over the season) on a Sunday to include as many 14-18 year-olds as possible, to provide a youth development side to bridge the gap between youth cricket and senior cricket.
If you wish to have further discussions on the Club or the role the 1st XI captain, Sam Wheeler, is available on 07828 701589.
The remuneration package will be competitive and reflect the commitment and experience of the appointed individual.
Application Process
If you wish to apply for this post please send an up to date CV and accompanying letter, no more the two sides, outlining why you think you are suitable for this role and what you could bring to Frome Cricket Club. Applications are to be sent to:

Tom Snape, Daren Luff, Peter Tucker, Hugh Lawes, Mike Fisher, Nick Jordan,
Rob Newton, Alan Graham, Neil Pack, Steve Bishop, Dean Spicer, Stuart Platts, Greg Parsons, Keith Brewer, Clive Moore.
Apologises: Paul Tweedle, Julian Snook, Derek Lamb, Marisa Bartlett
1. Minutes of the previous AGM
Not available.
2. Chairman's review
The ECB CA are planning to double in size by 2014. This will have an impact on all county CA organizations.
See the web site for the full review.
3. Local Reward and Recognition.
The ECB CA provide £500 to allow us to recognize and reward local coaches. With the help of Dave Porter this allowed six hundred pounds of equipment to be provided. This year 3 coaches were chosen from each region and awarded a voucher for £50 to be spent on kit from Dorset Cricket Supplies.
Coaches were chosen who were (and many still are) instrumental in establishing and maintaining their club's youth section.
Clive Moore enjoyed presented certificates and vouchers to the following:
David Lay – Bransgore
Steve Bishop – Wayfarers and district.
Alan Graham – Parley, district and county.
Julian Snook - Wayfarer's & Broadstone
Nick Jordan – Corfe Mullen
Mike Fisher – Hamworthy & district
Pete 'Tommy' Tucker – Dorchester & the Dorset Disabled side
Hugh Lawes – Weymouth, district and county.
Eddie Clark – Uplyme, Developing School Club links with West Dorset School Sports Partnership and district.
John Dike – Stalbridge
Nick Dyke – Bradford Abbas
Derek Lamb – Milton Abbas.
The Dorset coaches local rewards and recognition scheme allows us to recognise their immense contribution in a small way. More details posted on the Dorset Board web site
Unanimously: Tom Snape was reappointed as Chairman and South West regional representative and Marissa Bartlett was elected as secretary.
a. Development
Keith Brewer outlined a project using Community Coaching funding which would allow district head coaches to support local club coaching sessions to improve the coaching given. The particular clubs would be identified in discussions.
b. Sidearm – a new coaching tool. In discussion about this the following comments were made:
· Takes time to master and can generate very sharp deliveries – up to 85 mph.
· Use bowling machine balls to start with.
· Good with fielding drills.
c. Chance to Shine
Coaches seeking to help in these projects should talk to Keith or Rob.
d. Sherborne School
Seeking coaches for 3 afternoons per week from April to the end of June 2011.
e. Emerging Player programme
Rob Newton reported that the EPP is still ongoing with some successful trials and attendance at the Hampshire Academy.
f. Half Day Conference
Comments were made that the Richard Scott sessions were informative and enjoyable and there was a general aspiration to hold a ½ day conference later in 2011. It was felt that half a day would appeal to many if it was held in an afternoon or evening.
It was also felt that we have the contacts to draw upon.
The following agreed to be part of a planning sub-committee that would consider the what, how and when – Rob Newton, Alan Graham, Darren Luff and Nick Jordan.
The next committee meeting would be held in late January 2011 – time and place to be agreed – chairman to action.
With no further business the meeting closed at 20:16 pm
Chairman's report December 2010
We produced a June news letter incorporating information from the ECB CA National conference in January – no feedback received. Does anybody read this stuff which does take some effort to produce?
Phil Calcott (Outstanding Coaching contribution) and Jon Armfield (Young coach of the year) were both recognised and attended regional (Cardiff for Phil and Lords for Jon) reward ceremonies. I look forward to the report of their experiences for the next news letter.
The coaches six-a-side competition & BBQ on the 18th September at Shillingstone CC was well attended and "EAST won the "bowl-out" on a superb sunny day. The BBQ provided steak and onions as well as vegetarian options. A day for coaches to enjoy the sport.
A national regional conference was held on 23/24 October at Lords to share "best practice", including coach education. Rob Newton & Tom Snape attended. The ECB CA plan to double their membership to 2300 in the next 4 years (currently about 14000). The impact of this on the county CAs was explored and common issues identified.
There is also a plan to roll out a new Howzat resource in 2011 which will bring many benefits including the updating of contact information by on-line interaction.
There are a number of actions from this conference – the first one is to increase the profile of women coaches in the CA and the second to plan the rollout of the Howzat.
As usual, we had a very precise coach education programme devised by Greg Parsons base on feedback from each district. It was skewed this time because Sherborne School requested a L1 course in January 2011. Nevertheless, the county have scheduled three L1 and two L2 courses this year. Last year we put on some specialist local courses but there seemed to be no demand this year.
Dorset CA membership currently stands at 139 (August ECB stats). We will increase this next year by building in a subscription in the coach education fees at L1 & L2. This will also increase our coach education statistics. The ECB CA is going for growth and this will affect us in some ways.
Finally, it has been an absolute pleasure to nominate 12 local Dorset coaches who have made enormous contribution to their clubs and districts over the years. It is only a pity that we can only offer the paltry sum of £50 when they really want to go to Australia.
It is an excellent way to spend the money provided by the ECB CA for "local rewards".
Chairman's report 2009
We were restructured at the last AGM so that the district head coaches, the Dorset head coach, the development officer for CEd and the CDO formed the bulk of the new committee. The intent was a better flow of information downwards from the ECB CA and flow upwards from local members. This would drive the planning for the Dorset coach education programme and allow the identification of CPD for our coaches.
It seems to be working – at least from my perspective.
We have had three formal committee meetings since September. At our first one we decided to adopt a colour of track suit to provide a specific identity for Dorset CA members – a tasteful green.
One of our key concerns was communicating information to all our members and we produced a newsletter in January 2009. I hope this was useful.
To facilitate Continuous Professional Development, we held a county and District managers meeting last December in which Matt and Rob demonstrated conditioning activities and ECB fielding tests.
We followed this with 4 free workshops organised by Greg and held in the North and South. Some of these were, sadly, poorly attended.
This was followed in February, by a practical session with Middlesex county coaches at the Dorset cricket centre. Currently, Greg has organised an LTAD session on 15th December for district coaches.
In the local reward and recognition scheme, funded by the ECB CA, a number of district coaches attended a 20/20 match at the Rose Bowl. I note that the north contingent arrived via Portsmouth.
Our nominations for the Sky Sports Coach Awards were selected to attend their regional activities and John Sibley, Hugh Shakell and Paul Tweddle all thoroughly enjoyed their day hosted by the ECB CA and funded by Sky.
We are now experiencing a 51% uptake in CA membership from the coaching courses and our membership is up by 12% but 32 coaches will have their CRB expire this year
Finally, an enjoyable 5-a-side session was held between the district coaches at Shillingstone in September on a glorious hot, late summer's day.
DEVON CA Conference 2009
For the reports on the conference see:http://www.devoncricket.co.uk/page.asp?p=DCBCA%20Conference%202009
Lots of good information - especially about leadership/motivation characteristics.
Sky Coaches reward 2009 – John Sibley
Unbeknown to me, the Dorset Cricket Coaches Association had very kindly nominated me for a Sky Sports Coach Award. Even more surprising was the fact that the Sky team had accepted this nomination and invited me to join them at the first One Day International between England and Australia. I was delighted to accept this offer, and particularly so, as I had never been to an International at the recently developed Brit Oval or indeed attended a Day/Night match.
Eight coaches had been selected and I was pleased to find out that Hugh Shackell and his wife Margaret, who do such good work with the Dorset Girls sides, were also there. After a coffee, we were shown to our seats and were able to watch both sides going through their pre-match routines. This is something that always fascinates me and I was impressed with the thoroughness with which both teams approached their drills.
Before the start of the match, we were escorted on to the pitch where we were to receive our Coaching Achievement Certificates from Nick Knight. This was recorded by the Sky Sports team and was shown on the big screen. We even received applause from the crowd although I am not sure if they knew what was actually happening.
We were treated to a superb lunch before taking our places to watch the match. Although, England restricted the Aussies to 260 – 5, they just failed to win the match by 4 runs. Adil Rashid with 10 overs for 37 and a well constructed 31 runs looked a great prospect but with Shah stepping on his wicket and Luke Wright being run out off a wide, the luck and victory went to the Australians.
It was a superb day out and I am indebted to the Coaches Association for my nomination. If I had one regret, it would be that Clive Hayward, who has assisted me for 14 years was not similarly recognised. Although we would have liked one more year with our present team, apparently, 2009 has probably been our last season coaching the boys and we leave knowing that we have encouraged a considerable number to enjoy this great game and that many of them have gone on to represent the Minor Counties side.
Dear Member,
At the AGM, on 21st September, we elected a new committee.
The introduction of the post of District Head Junior coaches provided an opportunity for restructuring so that the Dorset Head coach, Matt Keech, and the four new District Head coaches would be members of the committee. The rationale is that information and drills from the elite English coaching methods and the Dorset Academy program could flow down into the districts via a single-point-of contact. In addition, since the District Head coaches would be embedded into the district and club coaching scene, the needs of fellow district coaches could easily flow upwards to drive the coach education programme. One example is the new fielding drill tests which are used by the English cricket team, demonstrated by Matt on 6th December, another is the recent four free workshops put together by Greg.
Amongst other things, the District Head coaches are also responsible for developing their fellow district coaches - so contact them with any issues or needs you have.
One of the problems that the ECB CA faces is that by the end of 2009, there will be an estimated 3800 CRB renewals required. If anybody in Dorset is facing this position, please contact your District Head coach or the Cricket Centre and we will help with a "sign-off" in your locality.
There has never, in my experience, been a better time to develop your skills and knowledge as a coach. We have CDs with exciting video footage and new drills to impart. You have the contacts - have you the desire?
Have a very good new year.
Tom Snape
Chairman of the DCA

Taking 94th place on our 100 Players Who Shook the Kop list is a gifted midfielder who helped the club secure back-to-back league championships during the 1920s…
Date of birth: September 24, 1889
Place of birth: Wexford
Nationality: Irish
Position: Midfield
Years at the club: 1912-24
Signed from: Everton
Left for: New Brighton
Position in 2006 poll: None
His career may have been disrupted by the First World War, but midfielder Bill Lacey left an indelible mark on Liverpool history by helping the club claim back-to-back league championships in the 1920s.
Like many before him, the Irishman arrived at Anfield via Everton; manager Tom Watson recruited Lacey in a part-exchange deal with the Blues - the Liverpool Echo would later ask: 'Was there ever a transfer that turned out so profitable?'
After gradually finding his feet during the opening 18 months of his Reds career, the winger's impressive and tricky dribbling came to prominence during the 1913-14 campaign when he made a total of 43 appearances.
It proved to be Lacey's most productive season in a Red shirt - he notched 11 goals overall - although Watson's men slumped to 16th in the league and suffered FA Cup final heartbreak against Burnley.
When football resumed following the end of the war, Liverpool's fortunes changed dramatically on the pitch; two fourth-placed finishes preceded the Reds' third league title in 1921-22. Lacey missed just three matches.
The reigning champions improved even further during the next campaign, with Lacey and co amassing 60 points on their way to defending the championship with aplomb.
Approaching his 34th birthday, the right-sider found himself relegated to the substitutes' bench when 1923-24 kicked off and would only make nine appearances that season as the Reds fell to mid-table in the division.
With a new generation being introduced by recently installed boss Matt McQueen, Lacey amicably agreed a move to New Brighton during the summer of 1924 with his polished reputation intact.
Appearances: 259
Goals: 29
Honours with LFC: 2 First Division titles (1921-22, 1922-23)
Did you know? Lacey continued playing professional football into his 40s, eventually retiring aged 42
Where is he now? Passed away in 1969

A federal grand jury in Greeneville has indicted a North Carolina woman on sex trafficking charges.
20-year-old Alexandra Nicole Berte is accused of bring women across state lines for prostitution.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol first arrested Berte last month after officers stopped her for speeding in Cocke County. Three other women were inside the car she was driving. After talking to them, deputies found they were involved in a human trafficking scheme.
Deputies released the other women and arrested Berte. If convicted, Berte faces a maximum of 10 years in prison.
