Victory at home to already-promoted Burnley will see the Royals secure at least sixth place, but they know they cannot afford a slip with Brighton only one point behind.
But while Burnley have already turned their thoughts to life in the Barclays Premier League next season, Nigel Adkins is not expecting an easy ride as his side bid to join Derby, QPR and Wigan in the play-offs.
"Burnley did very well when we played up at their place," he said.
"We're facing a team who's just been promoted, they will come to our place and give us nothing. We've got to be right at it.
"The mind-set has to be to win. We won our last home game, won on Saturday and showed we can come from behind.
"We'll work hard on the training ground, be right mentally and it's going to be a great day."

John Chow was nice enough to record the Internet Marketing for Smart People seminar at the World Blog Expo 09 and post it for us. The video is just under an hour long, so I decided to write a paraphrased transcript for anyone who wants the information from the video and don't have time to wait for it to download and watch it.
The Story of the Third Tribe
Starting out, Brian Clark from Copyblogger said that when he started blogging, he learned marketing from anyone and everyone. He might not always agree with what they marketed or how they marketed, but he was able to take something from everyone he interacted with.
Seth Godin sort of mentored Brian for a while which I thought was cool since Seth is one of my marketing heroes. Apparently, Seth didn't agree with everything Brian was writing and asked him, "what team are you on?"
Brian said, I'm not on either team. This started the whole Third Tribe deal at Copyblogger… being pissed off at Seth Godin!
RSS Didn't Kill E-mail
The next topic was about how RSS was supposed to kill e-mail marketing.
6 min Chris Brogan – He decided to try something different with his e-mail newsletter.. It isn't dead. E-mail marketing is really alive and well. Chris, Brian, and Darren all have an e-mail newsletter.
7 min Darren Rowse – The e-mail newsletter is way bigger than RSS. The people from newsletter buy far more and click far more. The #1 thing Problogger encourages people to do is sign-up for their newsletter. The newsletter strongly reinforces the brand.
8:40 Brian Clark – Before blogs, e-mail was the content delivery method. Outside of certain tech niches, RSS is largely unknown. E-mail is still prime. E-mail inbox is way more valuable than a RSS reader.
10:20 Chris – E-mail is a big trust thing. Just because you have someone's e-mail address doesn't mean they want to be part of your newsletter.
When Your Blog Becomes Our Community
11:10 Sonia – The thing that makes it happen: relationships. It used to be, "your," now it has turned into "our."
12:00 Darren – Talking about his Photography blog, the more you can get your readers interacting, you start to see yourself as a matchmaker. Build relationships with your readers is good, but also be a matchmaker for your readers. Give them places to connect.
13:45 Chris – Community is a privilege, not a right. You're goal is to get people to call it "our" community. The famous quote turned tweet about selling: "You can pull all the apples off the tree by pulling the tree out of the ground, or you can keep tending the tree and plugging the apples for seasons to come."
14:30 Brian – The one sell mentality is the kiss of death in marketing. You want to expand the market within each customer you have.
The other valuable relationship in the internet marketing world are with other people in your market. Strong relationships works far better than going solo. (Used partnerships between the 3 of them as an example)
Brian, Darren, and Chris Hang Out In Their Underwear! (The Value Of A Small Community)
16:05 Apparently, they hang out together in their underwear… LOL (This is taken Way out of context)
17:10 Sonia – You don't have to have a giant blog to have a community. That is one of the best parts of relationships. It is simpler (not necessarily easier) to maintain relationships in a smaller community.
17:39 Chris – Sometimes having a big blog is like a battleship, it's not always the best way to get things done. Smaller blogs that can be more focused and can connect better.
Monetizing Your Blog
19:35 Brian – The environment has changed a ton regarding using blogs to sell. Copyblogger takes no 3rd party advertising. They don't have enough traffic to make money advertising. Copyblogger will do $3 million in sales this year.
(Do you still think the valuation from my top 5 make money sites is that far off now? I know the valuation tool I used is a little bogus, but don't underestimate the value of a well branded blog and involved community)
How do they come up with stuff to sell? They listen to the audience. This is when Teaching Sells came along. It's a very strong program. The next year they developed Thesis (This is not an affiliate link, even though it should be! The Southpark Brian Clark rocks.). All you have to do is pay attention and care, and you can find out what other people want.
22:45 Darren – The two things he sells came as a response to readers (forum, and 31 days for blogging). Not everything will work with every site.
(Funny note: At 23:28 notice Chris cracking up at how Darren says "niche"!)
24:10 Chris – He sells a bunch of different things in a variety of different ways. He sells consulting to big companies. They sell projects and books. The method he used was get to know everyone for 11 years, don't ask for anything.. Then write a book, ask for something, and hit the NYT best seller list. Just asked once ever, nicely. It is funny how many people are afraid of selling.
26:15 Sonia – People have the wrong idea about selling. You should be giving more than you get. It is about exchange and relationships. It is okay to ask! When you can't ask, there is a problem with the relationship.
27:34 Brian – Another misconception is that selling requires tricking people into buying something they don't want. The idea is to find out what people want and get it to them at a great price. It's not about ripping people off. Social media will get the word out if your ripping people off.
Question and Answer with Copyblogger, Problogger, and The Trust Agent (Chris Brogan)
29:00 Q: "How will Google Side Wiki change the game?"
A: Chris – "I think it's retarded"
29:56 Q: What do you think of the recent FTC rulings?
A: Brian – Used to be a lawyer. He's been expecting the FTC disclosure rules for a long time – see post in 2006. The fact that the FTC addressed blogs is actually validating to the value of blogs. It doesn't have to be a bad thing. All these guys disclose normally anyway.
The testimonials and typical results is a little more tricky. The issue isn't how much money you'll make, but whether or not he can teach you. The testimonials are more about "it's a good program," not "I made money." We aren't trying to trick you. There isn't a magic potion, it is hard work. Honesty is a great selling point. People are sick of deception.
34:10 Darren also pointed out sometimes sales increase when he mentions it is an affiliate link on his photography site because it is a community.
35:00 Q: "How do you determine what price you sell things for?"
A: Chris – Never ask your marketplace what they should pay. They will always say cheap. Look around for a similar product.
A: Brian – Pricing is an interesting thing. Position yourself in a way that is so unique that you don't have competition. How we perceive value often has a lot to do with how much we pay for something. Price in a way that it is an investment that will make encourage them to use it. The weird thing is the higher you charge, the higher the perceived value. In reality, the people who are going to buy, are going to buy, and lowering the price won't change people's mind about buying it.
Strangely, some people are happier paying more because they end up using what they learn and see it as a greater investment. It isn't about the money, but about if they accomplish what they set out to do. Brian usually starts at one price point and then goes higher. Attract your initial buyers with a good deal.
A: Sonia – The one thing that your community can give you bad signals on is price.
41:00 Q: "how do you approach your content?"
A: Chris – Schedules posts 2 or 3 at a time. The content on the blog is what he hopes everyone gets. The content in his e-mail newsletter is what the people he loves most gets.
A: Darren – it's about rhyme. Just post on a regular schedule however often it is.
A: Brian – We like to use the term content marketing. Social media is the best way to build something out of nothing as long as it is built on content.
A: Sonia – Study the old copywriters. Notice how they structure the stories and what they write. Number one agenda is make reader's life better. Second agenda is does it set the stage for a product later?
46:50 Q: Do you believe in other forms of marketing (PPC, PR, Paper Ads, etc) aside from Social media and content marketing (blogging)?
A: Chris – Basically, yes, he believes in it, but it has a different target audience. There is definitely a need for it depending on the product and audience.
A: Brian – Addressing the PR aspect of marketing. The social media is now the marketing. The internet is a direct marketing environment.
51:40 A: Chris – it's not that we don't like advertising, it's that we don't like dumb advertising.
The first half of this video, mostly seemed to revolve around how content marketing grew into what it is today. I think the part about how to monetize your blog is very insightful.
I loved the Q and A because the questions were relevant to blogging right now. I think the answers give us a great picture of how some of the most successful people in the content marketing world think about blogging and what they do to be successful.
Hopefully my title made Copyblogger proud. :-)

I clearly see a starting quaterback and his name is Paul Jones. I knew that Jones could adjust in time, to the faster college game , because his high school team played fast . He has a big time arm , can make every throw and throws the ball with touch.McGloin was average and is very physically limited. Newsome had a couple passes dropped and seems to be slowly improving but he is still raw. Clearly , at this point the best quarterback on the roster , is Jones.
This is a good article.But the reason why most top recruiting classes don`t live up to the hype, is because of unforseen occurences.Most recruits feel that they can have an immediate impact as freshmen, but many will be lucky if they make it to their senior year. Each year,a lot of top recruits across the nation, will suffer serious injuries like tearing an ACL, we saw that happen to Sean Lee and Jerome Hayes twice, this injury is very widespread and prevalent in college football, , slowed by serious injuries they are unable to reach their full potential.In addition,every season, a lot of recruits across the nation will transfer because they are unhappy with being a backup, Pat Devlin is a good example of this.Many others will be kicked off the team for violating NCAA rules,academic issues, or find themselves entangled in legal transgressions like Austin Scott. All of these unforseen occurences limits a top recruiting class from reaching it`s maximum potential.
Marcus Lattimore is not a criminal just because he did`nt choose PSU. In fact,everything that I have read about him has indicated ,that he is very humble and does not arrogantly consider himself, to be a vain superstar. In today`s college game, the high-powered spread offense is the rage with recruits. PSU`s offense racked up 500 or more yards this past season, against average teams. However, more times than not, the PSU offense performs poorly against the better teams. They performed poorly against USC last year, and only scored 10 pts. against Iowa and only 7 pts. , against Ohio State, this year. Some of the top recruits in the nation were at those games and after watching the PSU offense play poorly, they began to ponder about eliminating the Lions out of the running for their services.
Just because Coxson changed his mind and spurned PSU , dosen`t mean that he is a bad guy.He has never been in trouble.The plain truth of the matter is, he is not a good fit for JoePa`s conservative offense.He has the ideal athleticism and skill set to flourish in a much more wide open offense at Georgia or Florida. And the same is true with Easley who dominated sdeline to sideline at the Under Armour All-American football game ,but would conservative JoePa have given him the same freedom at PSU ? Probably not. PSU does better with players like Bowman,Clark, Moye,Royster and Quarless who flew under the radar in high school and were`nt H.S. All-Americans..
I don`t blame him. Someone at Florida told him that they will actually take advantage of his talent and not conservatively waste it , like how Paterno wasted potential NFL first-round draft pick Andrew Qualess`s talent until they got into a bowl game.. PSU is also on the verge of possibly losing another recruit in WR Adrian Coxson.
Iowa isn`t a better team than Penn State. But they do have a better coach, in Kirk Ferentz . He has been coaching in the Big Ten for 11 years and has been mentioned as a possible candidate to replace Charlie Weis at Notre Dame . No Iowa dosen`t get Top 5 recruiting classes every year.If they did,that would make them truly scary. And they don `t have All-Americans and National Award winners like PSU. But Ferentz outcoaches Paterno because he understands something about the Big Ten that Paterno dosen`t . That in this league quarterbacks are what distinguishes teams and makes them go. Ferentz understands that Clark can throw and run, and is the engine that makes the Lions go, and if he can shut the engine down, by relentlessly blitzing Clark, then he will defeat Penn State.
If you want to develop NFL ready QB`s , you have to start or give them substantial playing time as freshmen. The only way you learn is by playing.Every year that you sit on the bench is a waste and it puts you further behind in your development.Coach Paterno has an old outdated system that dosen`t give a young QB a chance to start until he is a junior, which causes them to get stuck for two years until the starting QB graduates.Penn State needs to upgrade the old way that they do things to the 21st Century. The top QB`s in the nation ,Tim Tebow, Sam Bradford, Colt McCoy , Tyrod Taylor, Zac Robinson , all of them have been starting or seeing a lot of minutes since they were freshmen.Penn State `s QB`s are stuck behind another QB,who was stuck for two years behind someboby else in JoePA``s system from the 1940`s and,typically, they don`t start until they are juniors,by the time that Bradford and Tebow were sophomores and juniors,respectively,they had won the Heisman Trophy.

Nascent you were to this macrocosm,
Blessed you were to parents,
Dyspoeic, unsounded from mother's womb you emerged,
Many conceived you were with Jesus,
Afore brought forth into beingness.
Doctors resuscitate with oxygen mask,
Travail, thirty minutes passed brought you back.
Triumphant over death, won life for yourself.
Whence you cried, Father gloating in joy cried a river.
Thence avouch, sweven God's work as you grow a man.
engendered after, saw father's fond on you.
Through many years of togetherness;
Pettifogger we fought and punished.
Though non twins, grew more like identical.
when you cried a child, I cried and still does.
Such is the love of brother, my brother.
Thither you went away to boarding school.
Whereby learned ways, good and bad.
And drew more to wassailer, drunkenness.
dissever we became, perceived I abhorred my brother.
Fondly Imbibe in whisky, disremembering your sole purpose,
So fond nearly you died like once when born half dead.
And whence in hospital bed you battled for life,
I cried a river, my brother.
I do not hate as I hate cockatrice,
I care more than I care the girl of my life.
And whence you live wastefully rummy, I rue.
Come at able, find oneself and the purpose, my brother.
The life you once battled and won when first born,
Be not languish in vain.
Be cumbered and hugger-mugger no more.
Ere in final resting place you lay,
I invoke to envision you gratified after years.
Heedless of how you impeach, I despise;
I merely have one brother.
My brother! My brother.

Welcome! Rather than tell you about myself, I listed my 2 favorite quotes below and described why they have meaning to me. Enjoy!
"Please do not be cynical. I hate cynicism. For the record, it's my least favorite quality. It doesn't lead anywhere. Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and are kind, amazing things will happen. I'm telling you, amazing things will happen." - Conan O'Brien
The perfect pick-me-up quote from Conan O'Brien's final words as host of NBC's Tonight Show. He had the carpet pulled from under him in the tough world of show business and still had the strength and humility to understand the importance of the road that life takes us down, good or bad. And what better advice can one give after experiencing hardship than to remember to keep working hard and continuing to be kind and grateful.
"Not making a decision is a decision, and it's typically the wrong one." - Ken Lieberthal
Aren't we all a product of our decisions? And oftentimes I've found myself regretting my choice when I sided with indecision or no action. When I came across this quote during my university days, it struck me as a quote worth keeping. Though not perfect, I'm better now at setting aside fears of failure or embarrassment and making smarter, thoughtful decisions that have, so far, paid off many times over.
Born near Seattle, WA, I spent 15 years in Hong Kong until I graduated high school in 2004. I was fortunate enough to have traveled throughout Asia and Europe when I was young and no matter the continent and their diverse cultures, an important theme I have come across is the desire for community development and environmental protection. I graduated from the University of Michigan with a degree in Political Science and an Environmental Studies minor. Combined with my work experience in marketing and sales, I hope to work for a company with aspirations of making our world a better place, whether it be socially, environmentally, or both.

NEWPORT CITY 'Äì Monday evening,¬Ýthe Newport City Council¬Ýheld a public hearing to take views on applying for a grant of up to $394,000 in Vermont Community Development Program funds.¬Ý
The money would be used to cover the cost of fixtures, furniture and equipment associated with a proposed downtown hotel.
Frank and Michelle Richardi want to open a hotel on top of their Lago Tratoria Restaurant on the corner of Main Street and Coventry Street.¬Ý
The project includes adding floors to the two-story building. However, the Richardis have not decided if it will be one or two additional floors.
The hotel will have between 14 and 21 guest rooms and suites. It will also have a rooftop restaurant in the summer. The complex will serve leisure and business clients. The hotel will have a small fitness center. The hotel will bring about 10 direct jobs and 15 indirect jobs.
"I think it's a great project," said Mayor Paul Monette. "It's a great addition to downtown."
Steven Mason from NEKTI Consulting, who attended the hearing with Michelle Richardi, said they have up to a year to use the funds. They would like to start construction around September.
The grant can't be the only funding source. Mason said the Northern Community Investment Corporation, Vermont Economic Development Authority, Northeastern Vermont Development Association and Housing Vermont are involved as funding partners.
The council approved the concept in September.
The council will vote on approving the grant application at their next meeting on Feb. 20. The project still needs a zoning permit but, according to Mason, there will be no Act 250 permits.

- business on the social networks. This is a great tool for Online Reputation Management.
- By following thought leaders in your industry, we can extract and leverage all the latest developments in your industry.
- By posting links to your blog on the social networks you can access an even bigger audience than just publishing on your website alone.
- With tools we have you can locate people and companies on the social networks that are the target audience for your products, engage them in conversation and also promote your products at the same time.

- Market Research. Gather information, conduct surveys.
- Promotions. Publicize and market products and services.
- Affiliate Marketing. Use affiliate links to promote and recommend products and services offered by strategic partners.
Turn Your Customers into Passionate Advocates
With social media marketing you can now create advocates for your brand and products instead of buying them. How is this possible? Consider these facts:
- "Advertising is shifting from experiences to participation." In other words, the goal of customer engagement is shifting from just trying to create a positive experience with the product to getting the customer to actually participate in the product or company's fan community. The goal is now to get customers to participate on the company's Facebook page and other social media sites.
- "Of the users of social media: 1% are content creators, 10% are content-extenders, and 89% are consumers." 1% of users are super engaged and actually create content. 10% of users mainly use their mouse and help distribute content by commenting, liking, etc. and thereby share the content with their friends. And the 89% of users that are left just consume the material they are exposed to and don't do much else.
- "Users like good content and they don't care where it comes from." This means that content related to your brand or product that is created by the customers themselves can be viewed as just as valuable as content you create by the users of social media sites.
- "We provide little bits of "fame" to social media users when they participate and create content that is shared through our social media profiles and fan pages." We might not realize it, but one of the things we give back to the users of our social media profiles is their 15 minutes of fame. A powerful incentive to participate for many users.

Cherokee Elementary School music teacher Brittani McInturff wants each of her students to be able to play an instrument while in her class.
Unfortunately, many of the drums, xylophones and other instruments McInturff uses throughout the day are worn out or broken. And due to the tight budget the music program at Cherokee has to work with — about $300 to $400 per year — McInturff's desire to get an instrument in the hand of every student is one that could go unanswered.
But the popular television show "Glee" could wind up being the music program's saving grace.
The "Glee Give A Note" contest, which is sponsored by Fox, "Glee" creator Ryan Murphy and the National Association for Music Education, is giving at-risk music programs the chance to get a much-needed boost when it comes to dealing with budget reductions.
After finding out about the contest, which required each school to submit a video about its music program and what is needed, McInturff knew it was something that could potentially help the future of Cherokee's program.
"Without the money from this or another grant, we're not going to have instruments that we need. There's just not enough there for that. We get enough to keep going, but we don't have enough to just buy new things and keep instruments for the kids," she said.
By visiting the "Glee Give A Note" website, people can vote for their favorite music program. The contest is rewarding a total of $1 million to music programs in the form of 73 different prizes, consisting of three $50,000 grand prizes, 10 $25,000 first prizes and 60 $10,000 second prizes.
As of Tuesday night, Cherokee Elementary had about 303 votes, and McInturff hopes that number keeps increasing until the contest ends next month.
"This contest will give us the opportunity to win some money to have so we can buy instruments, and these are not things that are just going to last for one year. Once we buy those instruments ... we'll have them for 25 or 30 years, so this money could mean a long time of success for music for Cherokee," she said.
The school's involvement in the contest has received lots of support from faculty, parents and students, especially those who are fans of the music of "Glee."
"They really get more interested in music when they see that show, so I think it's a great thing that they're doing this and really putting their name out there so kids can be a part of music and enjoy it," McInturff said.
To vote for Cherokee, visit www.GleeGiveANote.com and enter the school's name in the search bar.
Voting ends on Nov. 7 at 11:59 p.m.

Why You Should Quit
Smoking causes 90 percent of COPD cases. And although it isn't possible to reverse damage to your lungs caused by ciagrette smoke, the single best thing you can do today for your health moving forward is to stop smoking for good.
Quitting today will halt the damage to your lungs, ease symptoms, increase your life span, and improve your overall quality of life.
The Effects of Smoking
Explore the physical effects of smoking on the human body, including deterioration of the lungs, heart, eyes, blood vessels, and skin.
The Smoking and COPD Connection
Although a variety of risk factors, such as air pollutants and genetics, can lead to COPD, cigarette smoking is far and away the leading cause of the disease.
10 Tips to Help You Quit Smoking
Quitting smoking is extremely difficult—even after you've been diagnosed with COPD.
Coping With Relapse
Relapse can happen for any number of reasons. Some common factors are stress, weight gain, and nicotine and tobacco withdrawal symptoms.
Eastern Remedies to Help You Quit
Green tea and acupuncture are two methods derived from ancient Chinese medical practices that can help you quit smoking.
Quitting Smoking and Your Environment
Knowing how your environment affects your habit is a critical component that can help you put down cigarettes for good.
Build a Smoking Cessation Support System
Quitting smoking is a process that can be filled with ups and downs, but with help throughout the journey, your chance for success will be much higher than going at it alone.
Dealing With Nicotine Withdrawal
If you've ever tried to quit using tobacco products, you have probably experienced withdrawal symptoms— irritability, headaches, fatigue, and even constipation.

Can an estimate be made as to how many compounds from the Glide screening results should be purchased, in order to come away with some "guaranteed" leads?
This question is very difficult to answer, because the hit rate from screens varies greatly from target to target. In our experience we have seen hit rates of 5-20% from screens, but this is after various post-Glide processing steps, such as a chemist manually evaluating the top Glide poses.
Keywords: compounds, purchase, screening results

Marvin Sordell's penalty proved to be the winner after Kieron Dyer had equalised Chris Eagles' opening goal, with Boro centre-back Jonathan Woodgate sent off after giving away the crucial spot-kick.
"It was a very good team performance," said Freedman after his side secured their eighth straight home victory.
"You've got to remember that we've played three very intense games in a week, so to hang on and dig in is what's getting us in the top six.
"What you've got is a group of players who have got a spirit you can't deny. No team I believe in the top six have got that right now. That commitment is getting us results.
"We had that setback in midweek (a 3-2 defeat at Leicester) but every time we lose a game or draw a game, we bounce back and that's what we do on the pitch as well.
"If we give the ball away we quickly get it back and this is what the team is all about."
As for the Trotters' chances of remaining in the top six, Freedman added: "The play-offs are in our own hands now, but it's still going to be difficult with us having to play Cardiff and then Blackpool.
"However, it's a great thing to have at this stage of the season and we wouldn't want to have it any other way."

Below is the poem entitled still here which was written by poet
flow. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Even Flow
The stillness inside tried to get out
to see what all the noise was about.
Scouting doubt and loud voices
to understand choices
made by insecure over-sure grabbings for more
that are knocking down doors
to find something worth living for,
or knocking on wood to bring something good
better lift up your hood
should you get caught in the dark.
Voices from the park threatening violence
cutting the silence
to watch it bleed,
heed the warning of the dark bite forming.
This rumbling, swelling
a foretelling of selling ourselves short,
sold for less than we were bought.

Oscar Party.
February 26, 2012Posted by on
It's one of my favorite nights of the year: the Academy Awards! I am settling in for the night with some champagne, popcorn,and movie theater candy to get my celebrity viewing on. I even got some 'red carpet' red velvet cupcakes for the occasion. Watching the coverage of all of the ball gowns strutting into the theater is like my version of the Super Bowl, I'll be sure to post all of my best-dressed picks tomorrow! Are you excited for the Oscars tonight?
PS: My blog is up for a Homie award on Apartment Therapy for Best Home Design Blog! Won't you go and cast your vote for DomestiKatedLife?

Discussion in 'Arsenal' started by goonermaui, Mar 31, 2014.
Venue: AWAY
Kick off: 13.30 BST (08.30 EDT) (02.30 HST)
Let's do this! Huge game this weekend!
5:30 am here on the West Coast, so I'll definitely be getting up in the morning for that one, we need points BIG-TIME!!! Also, we need momentum going in to the FA Cup Semifinals against Wigan, so COYFG!!!
We should pretty much go all or nothing on this one, and be aware of what Everton did to the soon-to-be-relegated Fulham last week at Craven Cottage, they never stood a chance, boy I feel bad for Felix Magath, he should be managing a title contender or at least a club with some Champions League or Europa League aspirations, like he did with both Bayern where he won a double-double, and also with one of my other boys at VfL Wolfsburg, he made them champions of Germany in 2009.
Big big game in the race for fourth. Time to put up or shut up~!
Saw that Everton have won 5 games in a row for the first time in 12 years. I doubt that continues, and I bet an ugly draw is the result, which is fine with me.
Actually Fulham did quite well. They didn't take their chances and Howard had one of those ridiculous games he usually saves for us.
Anything to secure our unofficial trophy as we vie for a real one the following week . I'll take a draw
We win.
Thanks for keeping this renaissance going Maui. You HAVE to start the next one too. Anything less is completely unacceptable!
Apparently, Diaby back in training, starting today. AW not counting on him, but maybe we'll get a surprise at some point down the road.
Wow - huge match. Goodison will be buzzing. To borrow a phrase, "Can't Wait!".
Is this game a big deal?
Cup final... wait, nvm. Scratch that, just go balls out.
Early Kickoff for a Must-Win Game? Hmm....
Draw. 1-1
Psychologically this is important, but looking at fixture lists this is not must win.
Our run-in gets pretty easy after Everton while they still have to deal with some tricky games like City, United (April Fools), and a trip to Southampton.
That said, lets go stuff em.
Got a bad feeling about this, honestly. Nonetheless, let's have these cvnts. COYG!
can't wait for the "...a returning Diaby is a like a new signing for us" quote, followed by the annual "Diaby is the next patrick vieira" article that espn likes to recycle...
Followed by the "Diaby has played well enough in these last two weeks to earn a three year contract extension", followed by "Diaby has had a slight kick and will be out for a couple weeks", followed by "Diaby will be out for a couple months", followed by "we don't know when Diaby will be back", followed by "...a returning Diaby is a like a new signing for us" .
Fool me once shame on you, fool me 10 times...
Forgot what day it is. Good one.
Yes, because our quest is not yet over.
This cracked me up.
a 6 pointer!
Arsenal needs to finally go on the road in a big game and grab a win. Enough is enough.
Cuz we didn't win at Dortmund or Sp*rs at all.
Really, I'm so sick of this meme. The only thing that qualifies as a 'big' game according to this is one in which Arsenal are embarrassed.
Separate names with a comma.

Data Analytics
in everything we do: Internal Audit
Data analysis is a technique that is used to explore plausible relationships among both financial and non-financial data in order to derive greater insight into the operations of entities and the risks that they face. This technique is a key component of the Internal Audit framework and one we are equipped to execute.
Analytics based activities are deployed across the entire service delivery cycle of our Internal Audit engagements from the initial risk assessment to the execution of the audit to the continuous monitoring of results. Embedding analytics into our Internal Audit engagements allow us the opportunity to provide higher long-term benefits to our clients by better managing overall risk, minimizing costs traditionally spent on lower risk areas and increasing the value of findings by generating more timely and relevant analyses.
Using data analysis allows internal audit teams to gain a better understanding of the operations by looking at the transactions in a different way. Data Analysis empowers our auditors to analyse 100% of a population of transactions and identify trends and anomalies, as well as, gain insights to risks, control effectiveness, and process performance.
There are stories in your data. Using data analysis techniques, we have the opportunity to translate the mass of transactions into valuable insight around your operations. Patterns may emerge and we may be able to identify unexpected transactions and trends which will allow us to focus on these as indicators of higher risk.
We have a dedicated team of Internal Auditors skilled at data analysis and able to use our suite of data analysis tools and techniques to support several aspects of our internal audit services.

Who loves to treat Dave Brandon as a punching bag more than I do? Absolutely no
one. Well, until Thursday when Dave Brandon did what Dave Brandon does. He didn't merely announce his disappointing decision that the Michigan Marching Band will not be going to the Cowboys Classic in Dallas; he insulted everyone's intelligence and made them feel lied to in the process.
But I'm not going to attack the condescending, ego-maniacal, corporate, soul-crushing, gasbag Dave Brandon. Not this time! Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to do anything crazy like come out in support of Brandon. I'm not even a fan of having this game at an NFL stadium "neutral site" in SEC land (yeah, Texas is SEC territory now) in the first place. It already felt like a regular away game with no return trip from the opposing team, which is exactly what Michigan is now saying this is. The Michigan Daily reported that a nameless athletic department spokesperson said: "We are treating the Cowboys Classic game against Alabama as any other road game."
But after my thorough research on the matter (reading The Michigan Daily and some internet message boards), I am not 100% sure Brandon is 100% the villain. Yeah, he secured seats for the band in the contract for the game, allowed them to have the impression they were going to make the trip (though I'm not aware he made any such promise), and then sold non-refundable tickets to the band's family members. Sure, he is suddenly acting like he just discovered what it costs to send a band down south (something he could have probably ball-parked at the time of agreeing to the game) and is saying it's a "practical reality" that he can't fit the estimated $400,000 travel cost into his budget of $4.7 million that he is getting from the game. Yes, he has his spokesperson saying ridiculous things like "We have not taken our band on similar trips in the past," as though Michigan has ever played in anything that could be considered a "similar trip." (If "similar trip" refers to distance, the band was just at the Sugar Bowl which is similar. If it refers to the type of game, the closest comparison of past games would be something like the Sugar Bowl.) And it does seem a little confusing that he would apparently have to charter private jets rather than be able to fly the band commercial.
But how about a bus, marching band? I'm not saying I personally would like to take the 20-or-so-hour drive down and back between Dallas and Ann Arbor. But come on, you guys are college kids. Road trip! I don't know if a bus was offered or what the reaction was if it was offered, but it strikes me as an option. After all, Brandon did say this to The Detroit News: "We don't take the band to (regular season) games further away than a bus ride."
Hint, hint.
Furthermore, do we really think Brandon—he who would paint #GOBLUE on the field for the spring game in some perverse move to promote his precious brand—is really going to let his team be showcased in a marquee, nationally televised game without all the pomp and circumstance? It's obvious what he's doing. He's trolling for donations.
As The Detroit News pointed out, Ohio State found a donor to foot most of the bill for sending its band to Austin, Texas in 2006 for a game against the Longhorns. Brandon's reaction to this possibility for a Michigan donor: "It would be great—tell them to call me," Brandon said.
So, rest assured, the band will be there. This is all part of the master plan. First, create outrage. Second, wait for a rich donor to pay the freight. And then third, his favorite part, act like you're the hero and say something really obnoxious.

Superb Beacon
After doing extensive research online and using different beacons in the field, I decided to get this beacon - I couldn't be happier with my purchase. This beacon is very quick to pick up signals and very easy to read/follow to a buried victim. It came out of the box with the V8.2 Firmware, which is completely upgradeable (fantastic feature). I highly recommend this beacon for anyone who travels in the backcountry (skiers, boarders, snowmobilers, etc...)

Lady Gaga appeared on Japanese TV show Sukkiri a couple of weeks ago.
The structured, zipper panel high-neck dress with sharp shoulders, she rocked for the occasion, belongs to Liberum Arbitrium Spring 2012 collection.
Liberum Arbitrium (meaning "free will" in Latin) by Shinsuke Mitsouka, was amed after the philosophy of good versus evil.
The Japanese menswear designer used large quantities of zippers donated by YKK to create a fabulous black collection, you can see on Vogue.
Red hairpiece, Quay "Yibrow" sunnies and signature Pleaser ankle boots completed the look.
