Reverend and The Makers' chart hit, Shine the Light, won a nationwide competition to become the first official FA Cup Anthem.
So we invited them to TEAMtalk Towers for a chat about Saturday's Wembley showpiece between Manchester City and Wigan.
After a quick game of fussball, band members John McClure and Eddie Cosens - who are big Sheffield Wednesday fans - headed into our studio for a quick chat with Sky Sports News Radio presenter Chris Cooper about the song, the final, Oasis, Little Mix and the mighty Owls.
Chris Cooper: Winning the FA Cup anthem competition. What a privilege. I bet when you were in shorts a few years ago you used to be signing along with cup final songs?
Reverend and The Makers: It's great. We heard about heard about the FA doing this thing and our record label put us up for it. I think there were loads of very well-known bands in contention for it. I think there was thousands of poeple who voted so to be announced as the winner is a great result really.
It's come as the icing on the cake for what's been a really great record. It got in the top 20 and the tour did well so we're made up.
CC: Did it get a bit of support from the Sheffield Wednesday fans?
RATM: Oh yeah, they love us.
CC: What about the Sheffield United fans?
RATM: We get a lot of love in Sheffield, Yorkshire generally. We get a lot of love up North. My manager was saying the other day there's bands like us and The Courteeners who do thousands of tickets at gigs up north, but then we go down south and it's like people think that we don't exist.
If we were from London they'd think we were like the biggest band in the country. It's a bit like that isn't it? So, we get a lot of love from the north generally.
CC: I saw you a few years ago when you were supporting Oasis, did you have much football banter with the Gallaghers with them being Manchester City fans?
RATM: Yeah we like them guys. We went on tour with Noel earlier in the year. Noel used to have a big Man City flag by the dressing rooms for every match.
We were collecting stickers for a laugh, like you did when we were kids and I stuck a Man U sticker on his big Man City flag, but he doesn't know it was me. We might give him a bit of stick. We might wear a Wigan shirt just to wind him up. You know how it is!
CC: Do you get to perform the song before the final then?
RATM: Yeah, apparently they're going to walk out to the song as well. Watching Yaya Toure pull off a few dance moves to our song will be a treat in itself won't it?!
We're honoured to have won really and because it has been voted for by the public it's just confirmation that were doing good. It's a been a really good couple of years since we came back with this record, so it's good to be alive really.
CC: You never know you might make a few more quid out of it as well?
RATM: It's been on FIFA the football game and it's on a big advert in America at the moment (the same song). We've been playing around the world quite a lot with this record, so we could do with a few more quid. We'd be happy with a few more coffers!
CC: A lot of people say that when they hear one of their songs playing on the TV in the background like on Coronation Street or EastEnders they think they've made it. If you're watching the Monday Night Football and at half-time you can hear one of your tunes playing out of the the PA, does that give you that same kind of buzz?
RATM: Oh definitely. We're both massive football fans and yet it kind of means more in a way than chart success that people that are into football as well like your music. All the football clubs will hopefully be playing our song next season with the FA Cup. It does make us feel really good.
CC: This could go down in footballing history as part of the FA Cup final every year couldn't it? As well as Abide with me and the national anthem, we have Shine the Light?
RATM: You never know! I've got another dubious honour that I'll share with you. I think with Rod Stewart and one of the lads from The Enemy, I'm one of a select bunch of people to have played both a concert and a game of football at Wembley stadium, so I'm in good company there. To have Shine the Light as the first official FA cup anthem is another one for the scapbook really.
CC: As far as Shine the Light is concerned, when you were writing it, did you have football in mind?
RATM: Oh no. It was just a piece of music that Ed had written that he sent it to me. My mum buys a lottery ticket and she said, as she does every week: "If I win, I'm going to do this, this and this and then we're all going to go on holiday and then I'm going to decide how to spend it."
She's basically spent it before she's won it so I thought that would be a great topic for a song and I think that's why we carry on doing well.
This is our third top 20 record and the tour sold out and the reason for that is because we write songs about every day life.
You can write about your trendy stuff but we've been going nearly 10 years now and we've seen so much trendy stuff come and go and we're still going great and having success.
Football fans are very loyal and they'll support you through thick and thin, especially if you're talking about stuff that relates to them.
With this song being about buying a lottery ticket and wishing you could win - there's a nice little correlation with the FA Cup and the whole luck thing and a lot of that obviously goes on with the FA Cup - all the upsets and underdogs - so I think it works quite nicely. People just seem to be into what we're doing so long may it continue.
CC: After the cup final are you going to check the download chart to see if it has actually had an impact on the target audience?
RATM: It already has. I think quite a few people have downloaded it already.
CC: But you downloading it or your mum winning the lottery and downloading it a million times doesn't count!
RATM: Winning something like this is in many ways, like Eddy said, better than having a number one single. Charts are rubbish aren't they? If you're competing with the likes of Little Mix? This means more because it's voted for by real people, not money men or little girls with their pocket money.
CC: Who's going to win the cup final then?
RATM: It's got to be City hasn't it? We've got to say that. You can't really see past them can you? Plus Uncle Noel will tell us off, so we better say Man City.
CC: What about Sheffield Wednesday for next season? You've stayed up this year, bit of a dodgy period earlier in the season, but ultimately mission acomplished, you've stayed in the division.
RATM: We had a terrible start and then I think from December we were in the top three or four on form so we did really well to turn it round - but next season we need to push on really.
We're both season ticket holders but some of the signings Dave Jones made last summer, particularly people like Pecnik and Taylor and like even Mattock were just rubbish. We need to be a bit smarter in the transfer market.
They reckon that Alex Ferguson would be a good gaffer. We don't mind taking him on if he's looking for a job!
CC: Were you disappointed that Sheffield United missed out on the play-offs yet again? Do you miss the Sheffield derbies?
RATM: Yeah I'm not one of these who's partizan. I can't speak for Eddy but I certainly would have welcomed a derby because we missed the derby last year when we were on tour with Noel. I would've liked to have seen them come up personally.
It's brilliant for the city and the region really, especially with Doncaster coming up and we've got Leeds, Huddersfield and Barnsley still there, it would have been amazing to have had United as well but such is life.
Some cracking away days next season around Yorkshire. We're looking forward to it.
CC: We wish you the very best of the luck with the song, Shine the Light. Hopefully it can be a hit all over again and enjoy the cup final.
RATM: Thank you. Cheers.

By DAVID PORTER
(AP) NEWARK, N.J. - A New Jersey man imprisoned for nearly two decades for a murder he said he didn't commit walked out of a federal courthouse Tuesday, a day after a judge threw out his 1995 conviction over bite-mark evidence.
Gerard Richardson, 48, was met by family members and his attorney from the Innocence Project, the organization that got a court-ordered DNA test that showed the bite mark left on the murder victim contained another man's DNA.
"I'm starting to believe it now, the cold air's hitting me," Richardson said as he walked down the steps of the Martin Luther King Jr. federal courthouse after posting $5,000 bail.
"I'm just happy to be home," he said. "It's been a long road. This is one step closer to me rebuilding my life."
Richardson was convicted in 1995 of the murder of 19-year-old Monica Reyes, whose body was found in a ditch in Bernards Township in north-central New Jersey. The chief physical evidence included a bite mark on the victim's back that a prosecution expert said was made by Richardson.
Bite mark evidence has come under challenge from defense attorneys in recent years, and the Innocence Project says more than two dozen defendants either convicted or charged with rape and murder using bite mark evidence have been exonerated since 2000.
Prosecutors in Somerset County did not oppose the decision to throw out Richardson's conviction, but the charges still stand and a state judge has given prosecutors until Dec. 17 to say whether they want to retry him.
Richardson admitted he sold drugs in the 1990s and was "a young guy doing what I wanted to do, not really living life the way I should have" at the time of Reyes' murder. But he adamantly denied killing her. "I wasn't no angel, but I didn't kill anybody," he said.
Richardson said he never gave up hope that he would be released someday to rejoin his three daughters, three sons and grandchildren.
He was headed to visit his mother in Rahway Tuesday before driving to his brother's in suburban Philadelphia, where he will live while is out on bail.
"We need to recognize there were two tragedies here," said Richardson's older brother, Kevin. "Our brother lost time but there was a young person who lost her life. And just like we deserve to be standing here today, that family deserves to have justice."

Snow Day Number Two
I slept, amazingly, for nearly ten hours straight last night. I also had the unusual experience of having a dream. I don't dream much anymore – I blame it on the short sleep hours I keep. But I tell you this because it demonstrates what I was explaining yesterday – to manage all my work I skimp […]

A man wearing a Google Glass headset has been pulled out of a cinema in the US and questioned by the FBI.
According to the man questioned, agents from the FBI removed him from the cinema in Ohio on suspicion he was recording the movie.
The incident came to light after the man – who asked to be identified as T.U. wrote to blog The Gadgeteer.
He claims he had gone to the AMC cinema in Columbus, Ohio to watch the new Jack Ryan movie, Shadow Recruit.
In the email, he admits to wearing his Google Glass headset to the cinema, but insists that it was turned off.
He added that the Glass headset contains prescription lens, hence the reason he was wearing the headset in the cinema.
The FBI is the agency responsible for combating film theft in the United States.
According to T.U., an hour into the movie: "a guy comes near my seat, shoves a badge that had some sort of a shield on it, yanks the Google Glass off my face and says 'follow me outside immediately".
Outside, the agent explained who he was and accused T.U. of recording the movie.
"I tried to explain that he's holding rather expensive hardware that costed me $1500 for Google Glass and over $600 for the prescription glasses," he wrote in the email.
"The response was that I was searched and more stuff was taken away from me (specifically my personal phone, my work phone - both of which were turned off, and my wallet).
"I kept telling them that I wasn't recording anything – my Glass was off, they insisted they saw it on.
"I told them there would be a light coming out the little screen if Glass was on, and I could show them that, but they insisted that I cannot touch my Glass for the fear 'I will erase the evidence against me that was on Glass'."
After connecting the Glass to a computer, it became clear he hadn't been recording the film.
We don't like your kind in here
A spokesperson for the cinema chain has confirmed that the incident took place.
In a statement, the spokesperson said: "Movie theft is something we take very seriously, and our theater managers contact the Motion Picture Association of America anytime it's suspected that someone may be illegally recording content on screen.
"While we're huge fans of technology and innovation, wearing a device that has the capability to record video is not appropriate at the movie theatre.
"At AMC Easton 30 last weekend, a guest was questioned for possible movie theft after he was identified wearing a recording device during a film. The presence of this recording device prompted an investigation by the MPAA, which was on site.
"The MPAA then contacted Homeland Security, which oversees movie theft. The investigation determined the guest was not recording content."
The incident raises questions over the viability of Google Glass.
Though he did not explicitly say otherwise, T.U. suggests that his Google Glass headset is his only pair of prescription glasses.
The incident comes just days after fellow Google Glass wear Cecilia Abadie was cleared of driving while distracted after she was pulled over and fined for driving while wearing her Google Glass headset.


text: Lifetime aired its highly-anticipated movie The Unauthorized Saved by the Bell Story last night, and one thing is pretty clear by the credits: It was a hard knock four years for Screech (Dustin Diamond). Narrated by Bayside High School's resident geek — and loosely based off Diamond's 2009 tell-all Behind the Bell — Unauthorized puts Screech in one corner and his pretty-preppy co-stars (Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Mario Lopez, Lark Voorhies, Elizabeth Berkley and Tiffani Thiessen) in the other. For two hours, we watch Diamond yearning to be hotter, edgier, drunker (yup) — and the whole thing is really, really depressing.

Recipe by jhibbard
"Tortilla pinwheels is an easy and delightfully different appetizer. It can be changed according to tastes and ingredients on hand."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

1 (8 ounce) package
whipped cream cheese
10 (10 inch)
flour tortillas
1/2 cup
green onions, chopped
1/4 cup
black olives, chopped
3/4 cup
chopped ham slices
A made some variations on this recipe and came out with a great appetizer to contribute to my friend's cocktail party. First, I used green and red tortillas for some color. Then, I made the filling a half cream cheese and half sour cream mixture. Then I alternated filling - black olives for some, canned green chiles for others, and some both together. Sprinkled a little paprika in there too. This worked out well.
I've been making this for a few years now, except instead I use ham, tortillas, cream cheese & salsa. They are a hit whenever I make them.

I have made these for years. They are so good. Always an empty plate to take home. I make mine with cream cheese, grated Colby Jack cheese, small can green chilies, green onions, sliced black olives & sometimes I add ham. You can really put anything you like inside. Experiment & have fun with it.
good, I would add more cream cheese next time. I had to spread it so thin that you could barely tell it was there. These are really great to do if you would like to get ready the night before a party.
Very quick and easy to prepare. Used Alouette brand herbed cream cheese and think this added something. Also try turkey breast with herbed cheese and cranberry sauce (mixed together).
I really enjoyed making these pinwheels and made some with turkey as well as the ham. They are a great cool summertime appetizer that can travel well to picnics. Ability to make it in advance is a plus.
Took a tray of these to a Christmas party and came home with an empty tray. Very tasty and easy. I used green olives with pimentos. The green and red gave them a pretty holiday look.
I made this recipe for Christmas to take to my sister in-laws and they went like hotcakes. I didn't eve get a chance to try one my self they were gone so fast. I received many compliments pn my appietzer selections for the holiday's. The my niece's told me that I could bring them every year. It's nice to bring something different to the holiday's instead of all of the sweet desserts. I am not a big sweet eater so this was a perfect choice for me.

"Our "Bridal Brunch" invitations are absolutely perfect. I got just the right look I was going for, and have received many compliments from the invited guests."
"I fell in love with this card once I received the "sample" copy I knew I had to get it and that it would work perfectly with my theme. I added my touches to it and they turned out GREAT, atleast thats what all my friends & family have told me. The printing on the back could have been a tad clearer however it might have been the quality of photo I provided ."
"This is a gorgeous, yet simple invite. I used the pearlized paper and envelope, which made it that much better. I highly recommend doing that for a prettier card and envelope. I used gray throughout the card. I didn't use a highlight color for the brides name. I feel like the name in a separate color distracted from the beauty and unity of the invitation. The card stock is heavy, giving it a rich feel. The quality of the printing and photo are excellent. I gave the shipping and delivery less stars because I paid for expedited delivery, but received my order three days later than promised. I ordered with processing during spring break week, so maybe staffing was lower during that week. At any rate, I still received my order faster than I would've with any other printer. I've used Wedding Paper Divas and Tiny Prints several times. They never disappoint."
"I am hosting a bridal shower in a local pub and this invitation was perfect for the occasion. The design team handled all my changes easily. I removed the times from the two circles because I thought it was confusing. I added the registry and hostesses names to the back side. I chose the pearl shimmer finish with regular corners. It turned out perfectly. Utilize the designer review and you can't go wrong."
"Love this! Was able to change the word "Bridal" to "Couples" for this invite- which i was having a lot of trouble finding couples shower invites that I liked. The designer was able to make the change to that and also a few other requests- very happy with the result!"

MIAMI (June 28, 2013) -- After going undrafted in Thursday's NBA draft, former University of Texas point guard Myck Kabongo was signed to the Miami Heat's summer league team on Friday.
Kabongo averaged 14.6 points, five rebounds and five assists in just 11 games with the Longhorns last season.
Kabongo was considered to be a potential first-round pick before being suspended 23 games for accepting impermissible benefits.
Kabongo is represented by Rich Hill, the same agent that represents Heat star and NBA Finals MVP Lebron James.

DARPA's new autonomous quadcopter is powered by a brain-like neuromorphic chip November 5, 2014 at 11:31 am

Smart Home Technology
Mike Erdody, Home Depot
Today mobile devices can manage our lives more easily by remotely operating appliances, including light bulbs, computers, sprinklers, security cameras, water heaters, and much more. "Smart Homes" is the term commonly used to define residences that have systems capable of communicating with one another and that can be controlled remotely. Remember The Jetsons? In this session, you will see how the evolution of home automation is starting to closely resemble the futuristic home (2062) of George and Jane Jetson.

|Nobuyuki Sakakibara Spoke about PRIDE.34 and Lightweight GP
A Press Conference was held on Thursday, March 15th at the DSE office in Aoyama, Tokyo where fight cards were announced for PRIDE.34 "KAMIKAZE" to be held at Saitama Super Arena. Aoki Shinya, Makoto Takimoto, and DSE President & CEO Nobuyuki Sakakibara attended the press conference.
But Sakakibara warned, "His opponent is a formidable adversary. We're not putting Benkei on the ring to make Takimoto shine. He's young and powerful. It should be an interesting fight."
Although following the event in Las Vegas, there were talks of setting up a rematch between Takanori Gomi and Nick Diaz in April, "Gomi won't be fighting (in April). We've been talking with Gomi about focusing towards the Lightweight GP. Diaz has an injury, so we're not even sure if he can start fighting again in May. If a rematch cannot be arranged as part of GP, I think a title match sometime during the year would be just as fine." The plan is to settle the battle within the year.
As for the cancellation of the April 28th Las Vegas event, which has been a topic of rumor, "it was postponed for a good reason. After our event in February ended in such success, we had doubts about being able to organize an event in only 2 months that would surpass both our 1st and 2nd U.S. events. In addition, we were unable to proceed with the main card that we had originally planned, so we decided to reschedule the event. Our next U.S. event will be held in late June in California. We hope to do 3~4 more events this year in places such as Las Vegas and New Jersey. We might also squeeze in PRIDE.35 in Japan in early June."
In regards to rumors about Fedor fighting in events of other organizations in Russia, "our staff is currently verifying the situation. When we last met with Fedor in January, he said "I want to fight in Russia. It would be fine if PRIDE comes to Russia, but otherwise I want to fight at M-1." This isn't sanctioned under the terms of our contract, but we will discuss the matter with him. Holding PRIDE in Russia with Fedor's match as the main card is not totally out of the question either. Conclusions should be reached from our discussion in about a week."

Illinois Derby: Field swells to 12 when race is drawn
Watch Me Go winning the Tampa Bay Derby. Video of Saturday's Illinois Derby will be shown live on DRF.com
STICKNEY, Ill. – Those four horses as of last weekend considered probable entrants in the Illinois Derby at Hawthorne Racecourse? They multiplied. When Saturday's Grade 3, $300,000 race was drawn Wednesday, 12 names were called.
Not that the average weekend warrior will be too familiar with many of them. Watch Me Go almost certainly qualifies as the race favorite by virtue of his upset win in the Tampa Bay Derby, but the other 11 horses in the 1 1/8-mile dirt race have combined to make 54 starts, none producing so much as a single stakes victory. Zoebear, Roman Flame, Southern Sculptor, and Future Empire all are maidens. All of them also drew outside posts, between eight and 12. The only non-maiden who breaks from an outside gate is El Grayling (post 10), who in his most recent race was eased in the Fountain of Youth Stakes.
ILLINOIS DERBY: Watch Saturday's race live on DRF.com
Watch Me Go, Luis Garcia named to ride for trainer Kathleen O'Connell, seems well positioned in post 4. On the rail is Lagoon of Diamonds, who led throughout a 4 1/2-furlong dash March 4 at Mountaineer Park, and could find himself at the head of a fast pace Saturday. Another likely pace player is New York shipper The Fed Eased, who dueled and faded to fifth last out in the Gotham Stakes.
The Fed Eased, Todd Pletcher-trained Joe Vann, and Sour should be second, third, and fourth betting choices in some combination behind Watch Me Go. Sour, scheduled to ship from Keeneland on Friday for trainer Al Stall, did little wrong in three Fair Grounds races this past winter, finishing second to the talented colt Machen while sprinting in his debut, winning a two-turn maiden race in his second start, and finishing second to stablemate Left in a route allowance on Feb. 26. Left returned to finish seventh in the Louisiana Derby, but that's no indictment of Sour, the way Stall sees things. Left exited the Louisiana Derby with an ankle issue, an injury that will require 60 days of rest and surely affected his performance.
"That's why I'm still upbeat on Sour, because [Left] had a very legitimate excuse," said Stall.
Sour, a Lemon Drop Kid gelding bred and owned by Adele Dilschneider, has worked three times for the Illinois Derby, most recently breezing at Keeneland, where he's been stabled the last two weeks.
"He's had three good breezes," Stall said. "With a sprint, two routes, he should be in good shape. He's not going to get tired."
In a race with several speed elements and horses of questionable quality, that alone should make Sour a factor.

Okay I now that this is going to seem kind of strange.
My name is Doug. I am a former atheist who is now a Bible thumping Jesus Freak. I am also a former journalist and currently run a facebook community for Christians.
Tomorrow I want to start a thread called "Ask the Atheist" where believers can engage with non-believers. This is not- IS NOT- an effort to try and convert anyone. Instead it's about building a community where people can talk about issues from every different perspective. The thread will go up around 10 am EST on Facebook...
The thing is I just need one Atheist to answer the questions. I suspect they will be along the line of : did you attend church as kid, are your parents religious, when did you tell them about your doubt, how have your encounters with Christians been- do they rub you the wrong way, or they always trying shove God down your throat.
I personally only know a few members of our on line community. But all of them have been very respectful. So if you are free (can be in front of a computer) tomorrow mid morning please let me know.

So why look to the Bible for that Josiah, when you can find it in the writings of Confucius, 300 years BCE, and in the works of many other philosophers? Why do you need religion to be humane?
Hitler was very religious - how did that work out for everyone?
"Who says I am not under the special protection of God?"
-- Adolph Hitler --
I wouldn't look to the Bible, I agree there are much better sources. And I don't think, and didn't say that you need religion to be humane. I was just pointing out that what had been said about books didn't make sense.
Also, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_ad_Hitlerum
In my example, Josiah - interesting choice of names for a leader of an 1100-member atheist group - I fail to see the fallacy. You implied there were teachings in the Bible that could make us better people, I demonstrated that though there are likely teachings there that could improve our behavior, if adopted, many who have professed to accept that Bible in its entirety, have amply demonstrated that it has done them no good.
I can find as many guidelines to good living in a volume of Emily Dickenson poetry as I can ever find in the Bible, and don't have to wade through volumes of hogwash to find them.
Are you sure you're an atheist?
If you are going to respond to things I didn't say while ignoring what I was talking about then this is not a dialog. And I will not waste my time in dueling monologues.
Good day sir,
Ooooh, touchy --
Interesting, Blaine, "Josiah" only joined TA 16-17 hours ago. Suppose doug sent him an SOS?
Oh wait, you've gotten my interest again. This is fantastic. What is our secret agenda?
Too little, too late, you've lost mine. Go back to your flock, this board doesn't need a faux atheist. Or stay, as you like, but I suspect your effectiveness has diminished significantly.
If others treat you poorly out of blindness, I will try and shine a light. But if you see that I am acting blindly, please show me the way.
Now this is a statement lifted directly from your blog. Do you think that it is a true reflection of your approach here? You join a club, TA, and almost immediately pick arguments with members who are greatly valued amongst our existing forum posters. Why is that?
I take your point, I have behaved poorly here, thank you for pointing that out.
My pleasure --
Say, are you related to Capt. Beefheart?

Official: Ariel Castro, Ohio man who held 3 women captive, commits suicide in jail
CLEVELAND, Oh. - Sources connected to the investigation into his death tell 23ABC's affiliate, NewsChannel5, Wednesday morning that Ariel Castro committed suicide using a bed sheet.
The Franklin County Coroner's Office said Castro's autopsy is complete. They confirmed the cause of death as hanging and manner as suicide.
Castro was pronounced dead at Ohio State University Medical Center after he was found hanging in his prison cell Tuesday night.
He had been housed alone at the State Correctional Reception Center in Orient, Ohio, south of Columbus, where he was in protective custody and checked every 30 minutes.
Jaye Schlachet, Castro's attorney, released a statement Wednesday morning:
"We requested the opportunity for a forensic psychologist to evaluate Ariel Castro when he was in county jail and the state's prison reception center. Local and state authorities denied our requests. There is an institutional failure beyond Ariel Castro and the citizens of Ohio are entitled to something better. It's just sad."
Castro was sentenced to life in prison without parole, plus 1,000 years after accepting a plea deal.
Three missing women, Amanda Berry, Michelle Knight and Gina DeJesus, were found alive in his home after nearly a decade of being held captive and sexually abused.

IDY28000 Australian Government Bureau of Meteorology Bureau National Operations Centre Satellite Notes for the 0600UTC chart on 5 August 2015 Issued at 6:19 pm EST Wednesday on 05 August 2015 The cloud band extending from the New South Wales coast and into the southern Tasman Sea is associated with a cold front. Low level cellular cloud in the cold air following the front covers a wide area including southeastern SA, Victoria, southern NSW and Tasmania. Areas of thunderstorms are present in the cold air, mostly to the southeast of Tasmania. A surface trough is responsible for patchy cloud and thunderstorms off the northern New South Wales coast. Southwesterly flow driven by a high pressure ridge to the southwest of the continent has brought areas of low cloud to remaining southern parts of the country. Interaction between an upper level disturbance and a surface trough has generated an extensive area of cloud over the Indian Ocean, with high cloud streaming ahead of the system over western parts of southern WA. The remainder of the country is mostly clear due to a high pressure ridge.

For the purpose of proposing a settlement of rule violations alleged by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA"), without admitting or denying the findings, prior to a regulatory hearing, and without an adjudication of any issue, James Hugh Caperton, Jr. submitted a Letter of Acceptance, Waiver and Consent ("AWC"), which FINRA accepted. In the Matter of James Hugh Caperton, Jr., Respondent (AWC 2010023836801,July 11,2012).
Caperton entered the securities industry in August 1994, and in January 2004 was employed by FINRA member firm Investment Professionals, Inc. ("IPI") as a general securities representative until December 2008. On July 22, 2010, IPI filed an Amended Uniform Termination Notice for Securities Industry Registration ("Amended Form U5″) on behalf of Caperton disclosing a customer complaint alleging that the husband of the customer had been permitted to make distributions from her account without her knowledge or authorization.
In 2005, a customer opened an individual account in her name and also a custodial account for her daughter through Caperton. At the time these accounts were open, the customer's husband was present.
Through December 2008, Caperton serviced the wife's and daughter's account, during which time there were 28 withdrawals requested by the customer's husband totaling $61,246.90 and $16,100, respectively in the wife's and daughter's accounts. Caperton accepted the husband's instructions to make the withdrawals and submitted those requests to IPI. Thereafter, checks were issued to the wife and sent to her address of record – however, at no time had Caperton obtained from the wife a Letter of Authorization ("LOA") or a Power of Attorney ("POA") permitting her husband to issue instructions for her or her daughter's accounts. Consequently, the wife never authorized the 28 withdrawals.
FINRA deemed Caperton's conduct as described above to constitute violations of NASD Conduct Rule 2110; and, in accordance with the terms of the AWC, FINRA imposed upon Caperton a $5,000 fine and a three-month suspension from association with any FINRA member firm in all capacities.
Bill Singer's Comment
Time and time again, these marital scenarios arise with often unanticipated results and troubling consequences to the servicing registered person. I have often compared these matters to the "Boiling Frog" theory, which posits that a frog placed immediately into a pot of boiling water will try to jump out. In contrast, if a frog is placed in room-temperature water, which is gradually heated to a boil, the relaxed frog will kick back, stretch out, and calmly allow itself to be boiled to death.
Caperton's situation seems to support that the Boiling Frog Theory has some validity when it comes to the gradual increase in the degrees of compliance problems for stockbrokers. In fairness to the respondent in this case, a lot of brokers likely would not have sensed that their actions were improper. It's human nature to "assume" that if one spouse instructs you — 28 times over an extended period of time — to withdraw something in the neighborhood of $77,000 from the other spouse's and a child's accounts, that if anything were amiss, the victimized spouse would be screaming bloody murder after the first few allegedly unauthorized withdrawals. On the other hand, good compliance policies anticipate that human nature, being what it is, we need to protect ourselves from the possibilities that all is not what it seems and that even married couples and parents may do wrong. Hence, brokerage firms require that an LOA or POA be on file to permit anyone other than the account holder to give instructions to the servicing broker — and that means anyone!
When a registered person should have recognized that he or she crossed the line of compliant behavior is often far easier to discern in hindsight than when one is rambling and ambling into danger. Nor is this a problem only found at indie and regional firms — or a firms such as IPI. To the contrary, it's a challenge faced by brokers at Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Wells Fargo, JP Morgan, as well as smaller firms. Not realizing that the room-temperature water is beginning to dangerously bubble around you is a common danger for many registered persons.

It all started 6 weeks ago yesterday...
On April 10th, 2013 I was at work, expecting a girl from our Toronto office to show up and whom I would train that day to perform some of my tasks. For those who care, I work in a buy-side investment firm. So at 10:30, the receptionists gave me a call and informed me that I had a guest waiting at the entrance. I told her to just show her in...
So in they walk into my office, receptionist and my new trainee. As I turned and looked in their direction my eyes widened as they met with those of this overly cute Asian girl. She greeted me with a smile which I politely returned and to which I added a friendly Hello. "Hi Steve, I'm Faerie" she said, "nice to meet you". What a pretty voice I thought.
Following the greetings I showed her to a chair, told her to make herself comfortable, offered to give her a tour of the office and introduce her to some people which she gladly accepted and finally when we got back to my office we started with the training. The atmosphere was a bit awkward at first and by that I mean that all discussions were very formal and work oriented. The training was going really well and she caught on fast. Eventually lunch time came around and as she didn't have a lunch with her and wasn't familiar with the city, I suggested to have lunch together and that I'd show her where to go. We ended up in a food court where she had a salad and I ate a roast beef sandwich. At this point conversation started getting more pleasant and we avoided discussing work and instead started to get to know each other more personally. Lunch was great and the company was great.
Back at the office she decided to freshen up a bit before we continued with the training. Among other things, she put on some lip balm and left the stick out on my desk which I decided to stare at for a sec and memorize the flavor...Chamomille (this will be important later dun dun dun). So we kept on with the training, but this time it was in a more friendly atmosphere. At one point I wanted to show her something and as I reached for the mouse I accidentally touched her hand. "Oh, sorry" I said, creating the most awkward situation... She thought nothing of it and we kept going. The day eventually came to an end and we were able to cover everything. She took a cab to the airport and returned to Toronto.
That night I received an e-mail: "Hey Steve, I think I forgot my lip balm on your desk. Do you mind checking?" So the next morning, Thursday, when I got in, I searched for it. Nothing. The lip balm was nowhere to be found. I replied to her e-mail and told her I couldn't find it. "Oh alright" she replied. We kept e-mailing back and forth a bit about training stuff and I answered some questions she had and that was it that day. I did not hear from her until Monday when she sent me an e-mail in the morning entitled "Le Blues du Lundi" This triggered an exchange of e-mails that, although the tone was more formal than anything, was incessant. We started talking about all sorts of things, weather, boston marathon tragedy, likes, dislikes etc... We became more and more comfortable and after two weeks of e-mailing at work we exchanged personal e-mails. We were now e-mailing each other at all times of day, everyday. I accused her of lying about the lip balm, but she swore it wasn't on purpose to trigger conversation.
Three weeks later, we had now been talking for about a month and were now texting/phoning (yay unlimited plans!), I brought up that I may head down to Toronto for the long weekend that was coming up. My intentions were that I would head on over and spend the weekend with a few friends but also, should she be interested, hang out with her. Faerie's answer was "It's my brother's birthday (this was true) over the weekend so I don't know if I'll have much time to spend with you, but I'll try and make some time!" That got me excited so I proceeded to call my buddy in Toronto and ask him if I could come visit and stay at his place over the long weekend. It turns out he had planned to come down to Montreal during that weekend. But once I explained the situation he forced his condo keys onto me and said "TAKE MY CONDO, TAKE IT NAO! Just, change the sheets and don't get my rug dirty (he had just gotten a new, hand woven rug from Turkey made from the hands of 8 year old slave children)" So I accepted... (what a bro) A couple days later, Faerie and I still talking non-stop every day morning to night, after I had confirmed that I had a place to stay, I brought up my Toronto trip to Faerie once again and explained that my friend wouldn't be there but that I'd like to spend time with her regardless. She told me that since the day I had mentioned that MAYBE i was coming, she had been planning things for us to do. Honestly at this point, the chemistry between us was incredible and we were both impatient to spend time together and were both anxious for the long weekend to arrive.
The big day finally arrived and I headed off for Toronto after purchasing two lip balm sticks identical to the one she had lost >:/
I left early Friday morning as we had agreed to spend Friday evening together and I would pick her up directly from work. I got to Toronto, picked her up from work and once we were sitting in the car, I showed her one of the lip balm sticks that I had purchased. The look on her face was priceless. It was something along the lines of holy poo poo, he actually had it all thid time but kept telling me he didn't and just used it against me to talk to me and get attention etc etc.. omfg what a fukn weirdo. I confessed i'd bought them ;3 We went to dinner and had a great time, the chemistry was getting insane, we then grabbed dessert chemistry gets even better, we end up parked outside her house, and well, all the craziness that you can possibly do in a car ensued. I ended up getting to my friends place the next morning at 10am... no sleep.
Saturday was her brother's bday, so she had to partake in that. I didn't see her but she was texting me all day/night. I decided to just go walk around the city that day as it was really nice out and I wanted to find some gifts to leave for my friend upon his return to thank him for the condo. Evening came around, I watched an entire season of shark tank, ate 2 big smoke burgers with onion rings and a coke and fell asleep to monotonetim (twitch.tv/monotonetim) beating the last scenario of the roller coaster tycoon expansion.
Sunday came around, she did brunch with her brother and friends and in the afternoon came to meet up with me. We hung out all afternoon, again grabbed dinner, drank bubble tea and finally ended up at my friends place. A beast was unleashed. Never in my mind did I ever imagine how wild a little Asian like that could be! I noticed her phone ringing quite often. I thought they were text messages at the time. She eventually put it on silent as to not be disturbed. Again no sleep til 10 am ish.
The next day, Monday, I eventually woke up and heard her talking on the phone. All those texts were from friends and her brother. She was almost crying, she was nervous and seemed scared... She came back next to me, cuddled and explained a few things about how screwed up her family was and I gave her some advice. Nothing too crazy, everyone can have family problems. She eventually left by herself saying that I shouldn't take her home, that it was potentially not safe. So I respected her decision, I didn't force anything on her, I just told her that if there was ANY PROBLEM, to call me...
So she left, almost crying, but this time because she knew I was headed back home. As I watched her walk away , cross the street and finally disappear behind the corner of a Quiznos restaurant, I just stood there, staring in her general direction, wondering when I would get to see her again. I gathered myself, went back up to the condo, showered, got dressed, headed out to grab some late lunch, got back home, cleaned up the place a little (she had done quite a bit already) and eventually packed up and headed down to the garage to hop into my car and go home.
I opened the trunk to dump my stuff and inside saw a little bag filled with tupperware... FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU... When I picked her up on Friday she had brought some Tupperware from work and had left it in my trunk... So I gave her a call, told her that I found the Tupperware and agreed to drop it off at her place. It was on the way anyway. I got to her place, handed her the Tupperware and then, since it was a gorgeous day, offered to go on a walk with her in her neighborhood which she accepted. After about an hour, we returned to my car and said our farewells again which conclude with a kiss...
( ok, here we go, get ready! )
Out of the corner of my eye I saw a dude, (black hair, black t-shirt, black jeans, about 6 feet tall, half asian and with some decent biceps) marching towards me at a hostile pace. He didn't say anything, just some grunting and incomprehensible mumbling. He swung his fist at my face. I dodged. Got on my knees, grabbed him around the knees, performed a double leg take down and proceeded to get on top of him. He spat in my face, shoved his fingers in my eyes trying to gouge me screaming, ya how does that feel ey? (asian canadian born with the ey stereotype) how does that feel? When I felt his thumb pressing against my right eye's orbit I locked his arm and his neck with my right arm, confirmed the lock around his neck with my left arm and just started chocking the poo poo out of him. He started getting really red from all the resisting and panting... "WTF dude, who are you, wtf do you want? wtf are we fighting? Can we stop this poo poo and talk about this? wtf is wrong with you?" Is basically what I said. I had, however, already understood that he was the psycho ex boyfriend. He agreed to stop fighting... Faerie was next to me, urging us to stop. So I let him go...
He got up, dizzy from the lack of oxygen, but eventually found his footing. He decided to kick the side of my car... dented it a bit. Tried to punch the window with his bare fist... his fist bounced off and he stood there, puzzled trying to understand why he wasn't able to shatter it. He hit the side view mirror, failed to break it...Then walked off screaming, i'm gonna come back and stab you! Her brother is coming home and we're gonna stab you! I know people in Montreal and they're gonna STAB YOU! He disappeared around the street corner...
A few seconds later, he reappeared, chrome bar in hand (it looked like the shaft that you stick in a car jack) and started going for me. He got close to me and decided to throw the bar at me... I dodged... he backed off. At the same time Faerie's brother showed up in a car. The ex BF got in and they GTFOD. I called 911 as soon as I saw them leave, remembered the license plate as they drove by and told the agent about how I had just gotten assaulted that I was in danger etc... In my mind that guy was unpredictable and I did not want to take a chance. 10 minutes later they eventually came back. Cops still weren't here so I phoned up 911 again and made myself understood that this was serious. The ex bf walked towards me. He had calmed down a bit now. When he stood in front of me he explained how he had over reacted, told me that he'd pay for the car with insurance and that it was cool if Faerie was now my girl and that I should take really good care of her. He then gave me one of those bro slaps on the shoulder, you know like when you're proud of someone, and then presented me with his hand to shake to forgive and forget. My response was "who the gently caress are you? I still don't know you and you assaulted me, damaged my car and now you're "giving" me this girl? What rights do you have on her? wtf is wrong with you dude? I'm not loving shaking your hand, you're a loving lunatic."
He got a little irritated, showing that he was not sincere with any of his forgiveness BS at all. He never apologized either...
Cops finally showed up. Ten cars or so at the same time. Huge feeling of relief.
They asked about wtf was going on and I explained everything to them. They recommended that I press charges (assault with a deadly weapon), so that's what I did after asking them what that involved. I did not trust this guy to be remorseful about what he had just done nor did I want this ghim to repeat this stupidity with another girl. I ended up leaving a deposition, so did Faerie, they took pictures of my face which had a few scratches and bruises, of the damage on my car etc... and then they took the guy in. When they left, I looked at Faerie in the eyes and told her, "now that you've got me involved I'm gonna tell you what I think about your family and friends. Your brother doesn't give a poo poo about you, he's poison, your mom basically doesn't exist, she's poison, your friends stood by and agreed that your ex's assault was justified, they're poison. GTFO OF YOUR HOUSE NOW!" She apologized. I got in my car and drove home. Faerie was sending me text messages that I simply ignored or replied to with one word answers. I was irritated, but not mad. She was nervous, did not want to lose me, sending worried texts etc...
She let me know later that night that the cops had let the ex-bf out around 11 pm and that the court had issued a restraining order and that he couldn't get anywhere close to her until the court hearing occurs which will probably happen a year from now.
I got home to Montreal at around 12:30 am instead of my original plan to arrive by 8 or 9 and decided to call up my friends and tell them the story of my weekend. The general consensus was "wow dude, that story is amazing, we can't top this"
The next day, I was back at work and decided to talk to Faerie about what had just transpired. After work at around 5pm, I called her up and tried to clear things up. I told her how I felt about her and that even though I cared so much for her that I would not expose myself to such a dangerous situation. I asked her whether it made her sad that her own brother was against her and hated her even though his best friend had assaulted me and could have potentially hurt her, that her own mother called her a stupid bitch and accused me of conspiring against the ex bf to get him trouble. She told me how she felt about me. I clarified that I could not or thought it not wise, to be together if her situation did not change. She agreed to what I said and explained that she would be moving out but that it wasn't something she could do over night because of money issues and that it was her only family etc...
We're together now, the bond is stronger than it was before, but I still have my doubts on whether I should stay with her or not. I care for her a lot. I have never felt this comfortable and never been this happy with any girl before including with my ex whom I had a 3 year relationship with. Should I sever right away, minimize the pain caused by attachment... Should I give it a chance and see where it goes? Her family and her Asian clique hate me for no reason, I can never get along with them.
Thank you for your advice. Sorry about the length.
Boy meets girl. They very much like each other. Ex bf pops out of the bushes and attempts assault. Boy wins and presses charges against psycho bf. Boy doesn't know how to proceed with girl...

Her brother is a loving retard and has problems of his own. She's a great girl. The reason I'm considering staying is because it feels great being with her... I feel there's something there... I don't expect her to abandon her family, but realize that she's in an unhealthy situation, move the gently caress out and then we could work it out between us.
I already know the brother hates me even though we never met, same with mother, same with friends...It would be really weird on that level. Like can't see her mom, can't talk to brother...no contact with any of her family lol
so ya... sorry jumbled up thoughts...

|# ? May 23, 2013 21:39
I'm going to give you the usual two rounds of E/N advice, in an exciting choose-your-own-adventure style answer!
If you are aware of all the bullshit you just wrote... Find a hobby, hopefully something with groups. Maybe start exercising, it builds self-esteem and decreases anxiety. Find a full-time job if you don't have one. Basically, do things that you genuinely think are cool, but also put yourself out there. When you're relatively happy with who you are, you might want to think about dating. Either look into girls you met from various hobbies, or friends of friends or co-workers, or just start mentioning to your friends that you're looking and hope someone will set you up. Remember - get yourself stable, then get yourself happy, then get yourself interesting, then get yourself in a relationship.
If you think you just wrote a long, rambling, poorly-written but true story... You need therapy. A lot of it. Not just because you're probably wildly delusional, although you are, but because even if any of the above was actually true your attitudes and methods of representing it are hilariously and dangerously out of step with reality. Go to a bunch of therapists until you find one you're comfortable with. Stick with it. Try mindfulness or CBT.
Either way goon luck!

The hosts also survived - on goal difference only - thanks to Barnet's 2-0 defeat at Northampton.
Chris Smith scored the only goal of a tense game in the second half.
Wearing a big smile, a delighted Worthington said: "It's been such a tough week for everyone so I'm just delighted we've managed to come here and get the win we desperately needed.
"I have to admit there have been nerves around the place, but we managed to just about keep a lid on it and we're finally safe now.
"We can go away and take a bit of a breather, and then thankfully we can then start working towards another season in the Football League.
"Everyone has worked so, so hard and so that has all paid off handsomely.
"There's so much that goes on behind the scenes that people aren't always aware of. The efforts of everyone involved all year had to come down to this moment, and we've done enough.
"The fans can go away and relax for a while too. They've been superb for us all season and they deserve this moment too.
"It's such a relief, and I'm kind of happy that it's all over now. Roll on next season."

Ebay Tips
So you found something you wanna buy on eBay? Maybe it's more than one thing. Here's a few tips that might ensure you get what you want.
1. Research - Do your research! Does the brand run notoriously large or small? Are you getting a good deal? How about fit? Is it a UK brand (example: All Saints items are tagged by their UK size where a size "8" is a US "2/4")? Do you know the conversions?
When you feel educated, do some more research. Compare the measurements to a comparable item you own. Seller didn't include them? Ask!
2. Which brings me to point two - eBay sellers are Human. Some users are a selling business hosted via ebay. However there are many individual sellers out there looking to unload their closets. Is there a dress in your size that is auction only? Message the seller asking if they are willing to set a Buy-It-Now price. Be prepared to answer back with a reasonable offer if they ask you to give one. Some sellers may go for a quick sale than waiting for an auction to complete. Especially because there is no guarantee they will make more money via auction.
Always be reasonable, pay quickly if they do offer it (or else someone else may snag it from you), and be kind! Thank the seller for the favor. I've managed to snag a few items here and there from sellers who were ready to quick sale. I was saved from the snipers, the auction, and the unknown "will I get it" or "will I lose it again" by simply opening communications with the seller.
3. Snipe dammit - There are lots of snipe services available out there. Many legit and reasonably priced (many giving free snipes to start out with no need to pay for the first services). I haven't had this work for me, because so far I've been luck to get what I want on BIN. However if you don't find an amenable seller to your BIN offer, sniping is some extra insurance to get that coveted item.
4. Combine shipping - Sometimes you'll come across sellers who don't have the new option of using the "cart." Send them a message asking for combined shipping. I saved $13.50 by shooting a quick email to a super amazing seller who refunded me the extra shipping charges.
5. Search results - Sometimes we find images of clothing online that are from past seasons. It sucks to find our fav retailers are no longer carrying that coveted item. However many times ebay will have what you're looking for. Many clothes and shoes are given "names" which makes it easier to identify them - HOWEVER, don't let your search results be limited by those names. If you can't find "Jeffery Campbell Clinic Boots" or "Fluevog Mini Sugars size 11" try searching instead for just the brand and using the side filters to narrow.
If you've got the energy it can be beneficial to tag "Not Specified" for sizes that aren't listed by the filter tags. Accidents happen, so don't let things slip away because you filtered down too specifically.
Do you use ebay? Have you got any more tips for buyers or sellers? What's the best deal you've scored while ebaying?

The best deal I got on eBay was a $2000.00 Alexander McQueen blouse for $300.00. Score! I had to troll it for until the last few seconds of the auction.ReplyDeleteReplies
Wow! That is a great deal!Delete
Great tips. I buy and sell on eBay, at a very relaxed pace, but I used to sell a *lot* and really enjoyed it. You can find some fab deals, but it's getting harder. Your boots are to die for!ReplyDelete

Why Vetericyn
Vetericyn is not a steroid, antibiotic, bleach, or toxin.
Vetericyn animal wound and skincare products are innovative topical solutions for the care of wounds and irritations. This steroid free, antibiotic free, no-rinse solution is non-toxic and will not harm healthy tissue. Vetericyn products are manufactured within an appropriate physiological pH range and will not sting when applied. Tests free for competitive animals.
Vetericyn is completely bio-compatible because it mimics the body's natural immune system's response. In addition, bacteria, virus, fungi and spores have not demonstrated the ability to develop resistance to Vetericyn. In fact, Vetericyn eliminates all these single-cell pathogens within 30 seconds of contact. Vetericyn is so potent it kills staph, E. coli and even MRSA. Vetericyn is safe as water making it completely non-toxic and environmentally friendly. Therefore your animal can lick its wounds or irritations after application of Vetericyn without any adverse affects. It will not stain clothing or furniture with application to animal. And there are no special disposal requirements.
Vetericyn contains no steroids or antibiotics which can hinder the healing process or weaken the immune system.
There are also two other significant benefits to Vetericyn. Vetericyn used on wounds have demonstrated a reduction in healing time by up to 60%. Vetericyn significantly increases the oxygen content at the wound site within 30 seconds and maintains that oxygen level for up to 36 hours. This increase in oxygen could account for these accelerated healing times.
To summarize, Vetericyn is a completely non-toxic anti-bacterial, anti-fungal and anti-viral that is environmentally friendly and safe as water. Will not stain clothing or furniture with application to animal and is bio-compatible with your animal's body.
