BBC Price of Football 2013: Average ticket prices fall
Average ticket prices across English football's top four divisions have fallen by up to 4.4%, the BBC Sport Price of Football study has found.
It showed prices in four main categories have reduced for 2013-14.
The annual study - the biggest in British football - includes the prices of 164 clubs in the top 10 divisions.
"It is good news for fans but it does come after a long period of incremental rises year on year," Sports Minister Hugh Robertson told the BBC.

"The key thing is that it is replicated in years to come. I think clubs are beginning to understand what fans are going through and to adjust their prices accordingly."
Five leagues in England, four in Scotland and the Women's Super League were consulted.
Last year's study showed the average price of the cheapest ticket in English football had gone up by 11% - four times the rate of inflation.
But this year, average prices for the cheapest and most expensive match-day and season tickets were all down - as clubs in the Football League face up to an average 5% drop in attendances, from 9,949 in 2011-12 to 9,481 in 2012-13.
In the top four divisions of English football, the biggest fall was 4.4% for the cheapest adult season ticket category, down from £344.63 in 2012 to £329.59 in 2013.
The average for the most expensive adult season ticket fell 2.4% - from £546.30 in 2012 to £524.52 in 2013. The average for the cheapest adult match-day ticket is down 3.1% - from £21.24 to £20.58. The average for the most expensive adult match-day ticket dropped around 3.5% - from £34.11 to £32.91
In Scotland, the average price of the top flight's cheapest season tickets was 1% down. However, the average cost of the cheapest match-day tickets rose by more than 3%.
As well as the most expensive and cheapest season and adult match-day tickets, we recorded the cost of a cup of tea, a pie and a programme. Just two clubs, Lincoln and Rangers, failed to respond.
The study also found:
- The most expensive ticket in English football remains at Arsenal, where a category A adult match-day ticket can cost up to £126. Their cheapest ticket is £26.
- The cheapest adult season ticket in the Premier League is £299 at Manchester City. The most expensive is £1,955 at Arsenal, although this includes seven cup matches.
- The cheapest adult match-day ticket in men's football is £7 at Albion Rovers - the only men's club to charge less than £10.
- The average price for an adult match-day ticket in the Women's Super League is just £5.38.
- The most expensive pies in British football are at Crystal Palace and Kidderminster, with both charging £4.
- The most expensive cup of tea is £2.50 at Manchester United - the same as in 2012. Manchester City also charged £2.50 last year, but have dropped their price to £1.80.
Dave Whelan, chairman of FA Cup winners Wigan, said it was "difficult" for clubs to put prices up amid the current financial climate in Britain.
"Money is so tight and our area is running at 8-9% unemployed and it's impossible to ask anyone to pay any more to watch football," he said.
Football League chairman Greg Clarke said three-quarters of Football League clubs had either reduced their ticket prices or kept them at the same level as last season.
"I think this is a case of clubs responding sensibly to declining living standards in what has been a challenging economic period," he said.
While the overall picture across English football was lower ticket prices, the Premier League saw a 4.3% rise in the average price of the cheapest season tickets.
Cheapest tickets for days out
Alton Towers: £35.10
Blackpool Tower: £45
Edinburgh Castle: £16
Madame Tussauds, London: £22.50
One Direction, Etihad Stadium: £66
Malcolm Clarke, chair of the Football Supporters' Federation, said there was "no justification" for any increases in the top flight given a new television deal that is bringing in an extra £600m across the division.
He had called for the extra cash to be used to cut admission prices drastically, but during the transfer window clubs spent a record £630m on players.
Clarke said: "It is disappointing that the average price of the cheapest season ticket has still gone up despite the extra income and despite the very difficult economic circumstances many supporters are in.
"There is plenty of scope to do much more than they have already done. If all that happens is that most of that money is being used to go into players and agents, then there is a danger that there will be a real kickback from fans."
Despite the concerns, the average Premier League attendance in 2012-13 was 35,975 - up from 34,646 the season before. In addition, there were record season-ticket sales of 476,776.
Premier League chief executive Richard Scudamore said these figures were helped by the "fact that so many clubs are working so hard to ensure that Premier League football remains as accessible and affordable to as many people as possible.
"That sets a high bar - one that both we and the clubs are determined to maintain," he said. "That is why clubs are looking at a range of innovative and inclusive offers to encourage high-attendance, particularly for younger fans and away supporters.
"It is great to see the continued high levels of support for top-flight football in this country. The passion and commitment of the fans is an integral part of the Premier League's success and English football culture and we want to make sure that is intact this season, the next and for many to come."
Professor Tom Cannon, a football finance expert from Liverpool University, said top-flight clubs were under pressure to produce greater revenues.
"The truth is, we are in a situation where the cost of talent, at the top in particular, continues to soar, not just because of that pressure but because of regulatory pressure like Financial Fair Play, which means they have to generate more and more income," he said.
"This means on the one hand you have a bonanza of TV income but you also have a bonanza in expenditure and potentially the gap has to be filled by gate income and that puts the pressure on the fans."
Last year, Liberal Democrat MP Tim Farron tabled an Early Day Motion in Parliament calling for ticket prices to be cut as a result of the Price of Football 2012.
In response to this year's study, he said: "The cost of watching football is still huge. There are some signs that clubs are making serious efforts to try and make sure that not just season tickets but match-day tickets are very affordable.
"There have been early steps made in the right direction, but there are still many of the large clubs who are appearing to be totally and utterly inconsiderate towards the fact that many people are being priced out of being able to watch their team."

'We do not think the fans are like cows, who you milk. Football has got to be for everybody.
'That's the biggest difference between us and England.'
A quote from the president of Bayern Munich where season tickets cost about £104. Match tickets are something like €15.
We are but cows to the EPL...

Folks, don't believe this media driven hogswash!
The only reason prices have dropped on average is because of the 3 relegated teams QPR, Reading and Wigan dropping their prices by 20%, 30% and 25% respectively.
The premier league prices have actually gone up 4% and most other clubs down the leagues have put their prices up too.

As an ex football fan who gave up the game in the 1970s, it continues to amaze me that the game is so popular. With players particularly in the higher leagues having no connection with the town they are playing in, foreign managers, foreign owners and so on, where does the passion come from?
Based on 1970 prices, a ticket to a football match should be around £5 nowadays. Fans are being fleeced.

I think I speak on behalf of of all football fans here.........we are not watching One Direction at the Etihad for £66!

Hopefully this is the first sign of football losing its ridiculous income. I can't wait to see these pathetic primadonna players hit the skids.

I look forward to the day football crashes. I won't go back until I can pay reasonable prices and decide whether I stand or sit. 300K a week for Gareth Bale, disgusting.

It's about time the football bubble burst. The general public is being fleeced by TV, FIFA, EUFA, the Premier League, players' agents and all the rest. People complain about power suppliers etc but are totally brainwashed when it comes to football.
Yes I'm a fan too.

As with previous BBC studies on the cost of tickets, the BBC fail again to ask the right questions. It's ok claiming that Man City have the cheapest season ticket but how many people can get this?. Take my club Sheffield United. The BBC claimed they had the cheapest tickets in L1 but it failed to mention (or the club did) that there was only 1 Cat D game last season. The majority were £20+

This ground breaking study is targeted at your average football fan. I find it insulting that the BBC thinks your average football fan would go anywhere near a One Direction gig.

Texas Tips To Keep You And Your Phone In Working Order This Winter PR Newswire DALLAS, Jan. 2, 2012 DALLAS, Jan. 2, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas weather is constantly changing from one extreme to another. With wintry weather and cold fronts expected at any time, Verizon Wireless, owner and operator of the nation's largest 4G LTE network and largest, most reliable 3G network, offers the following tips to help Texans stay warm and use their wireless phones when it's cold outside: oDon't be caught off guard by bad weather this winter season. Use your resources. Stay abreast of road conditions and school and business closings via your local news stations. oRemember that cold weather can take a toll on your cell phone's battery life. Charge your battery completely prior to leaving home and use a car charger for the road. There's nothing worse than being stuck in traffic or stranded on an icy road with an uncharged phone. Consider investing in an extra battery to use as a backup or a car charger. oShow your phone a little TLC. The cold weather can cause your display screen to become brittle if exposed to low temperatures for an extended period. Improper handling can damage the delicate screens. Be sure to cover your devices and tablets with a protective case. oConsider adding finger flip gloves to your winter holiday wardrobe. Remember you can't dial or access the keyboard on a touch screen with gloves. oKeep your phone in a warm place; avoid leaving it in an outside pocket, purse, backpack or in the car overnight. oDownload free winter apps to your phone from Google play™ such as: oChili Recipes – Discover hundreds of Chili recipes and spice it up with a new twist on your favorite pot of Texas chili. oThe Weather Channel – The app will alert you when a Severe Weather Warning has been issued in your area, so you'll know what kind of winter weather is headed for Texas. oFlightTrack – Get real-time flight status for airlines worldwide with a single tap! The app will update you on flight cancellations and help you find alternatives. oShoppeHUB – This app allows you to make secure purchases of cold weather gear, including winter clothing.

text: I am a Highschool graduate. During my senior year I took an PRE-AP class in Physics. I wasn't too confident about taking the class because one, I never took any type of AP class, and two I was great at the math part in my sciences I already took (Chemistry and Biology) BUT I wasn't so great at understanding the math behind it. Until I took my Physics class. From the day I started through the last day of my class. I understood the math, the math behind the problem, AND I LOVED IT. Now coming from my background I wouldn't call myself smart but I would call myself dedicated and extremely hardworking. So if a subject would get difficult in class, I would make sure I had it perfected, no matter how long it took. The first semester of the class about 35% of the people taking the class dropped it to go into a regular physics class. Out of the about 40 people total taking the class. I was in the top 10% for grades. Which I made an 88 for the year. Also, I got an award from the school for being the year's most significant in science. Which I think they gave it to me because they were surprised how well I did in the class and how intriguing it was for me. So, my question is. Do I have a shot in becoming a Physicist? Can a person with more dedication then brains make it?

Make her stand near the zombies among the roulette tables where you see the zombie roulette dealers holding the croupier sticks. Cut a random zombie in half with any sharp weapon. Take a nice wide photo you will get Erotica for the busty survivor's boobs, Outtake for the roulette guy Brutality for slashed zombie and Horror for the background zombies. It is much easier than it sounds. (a well placed "massager" may also work in place of the survivor for Erotica)

Andy Carvin's Waste of Bandwidth. Here's the transcript of a talk I gave at the International Symposium for Online Journalists in Austin, TX.
I'll add the video if they post it later. Now as many of you know, I'm usually I'm not at a loss for words. But I really struggled to decide what to talk about today, especially in the wake of the attack this week on my hometown of Boston. Some of my fondest memories of the city are of that magical Monday, once a year each April, when everyone would line the streets and cheer on one stranger after another – encouraging them to succeed in accomplishing a little magic of their own. I had originally planned to the role of social media in our coverage of Newtown today. So I'd like to discuss something that both Newton and Boston have in common, beyond the obvious horror and needless loss: We messed up. Now, a dynamic similar to the fog of war certainly rears its head during catastrophic breaking news, and mistakes get made.
Joho the Blog. I'm at a talk by Andrew Revkin of the NY Times' Dot Earth blog at the Shorenstein Center.
[Alex Jones mentions in his introduction that Andy is a singer-songwriter who played with Pete Seeger. Awesome!] Andy says he's been a science reporter for 31 years. His first magazine article was about the dangers of the anti-pot herbicide paraquat. (The article won an award for investigative journalism). In 2010, his blog moved from NYT's reporting to editorial, so now he is freer to express his opinions. He left the NYT in his mid-fifties because he saw that access to info more often than not doesn't change you, but instead reinforces your positions. Q: [alex jones] People seem stupider about the environment than they were 20 years ago.
Weblogg-ed. Blog. As I wrote last week , I threw away a week I didn't have penning an "insanely long" review (as I described it), of Mark Helprin's insanely sloppy " Digital Barbarism .
" The part of that book that really got me going was the incessant Red-baiting -- the suggestion that the movement of which I am a part is a kind of warmed over Marxism from the 1960s. That part always gets me going because it betrays a kind of mushiness in thinking that I should have thought a decade of writing by scores of advocates would have driven away. As I wrote about Helprin: It is in this extreme of Red-baiting that one can see the mushiness of Helprin's brain: Let's say he were attacking a bunch of scholars who believed copyright should be as robust as the Framers of our Constitution had it. That was a regime that secured copyrights only to those who registered their work. But here's the question: would one who so recommended be a "collectivist"? Words have meaning. Kelly says: That statement is flatly wrong. The Shifted Librarian. Around the Corner-MGuhlin.org.
2¢ Worth. Listen A few weeks ago I worked and attended North Carolina's ISTE affiliate conference. I opened the NCTIES conference with a breakfast keynote address and Marc Prensky closed it with a luncheon keynote the next day. Sadly, I missed the second day of the conference. I would first offer some constructive criticism to NCTIES , and to all such ed-tech conferences across the nation and around the world.
You do a fabulous job of offering dynamic learning experiences for teachers who are new to teaching or new to utilizing contemporary information and communication technologies in their classrooms. The only idea I can think of is to have one or two session rooms devoted to unconference topics. Now to the surprises It was in the student showcase, a part of most ed-tech conferences that I often miss, using it as an opportunity to visit the exhibitors or dash up to my room for something or other.

America's Best Outdoor Movie Theaters
Summer is here, so sit back, relax, and enjoy the show at America's best outdoor movie theaters.
The hush that falls over those gathered at Hollywood Forever Cemetery isn't just a sign of respect for the dead. On select evenings, it signals that a blockbuster movie screening is beginning.
The cemetery movie series is an unexpected-yet-perfect way to pay tribute to legends like Rudolph Valentino and John Huston. "You're literally a few feet from someone who has worked on these movies," says Cinespia series cofounder John Wyatt.
Even as drive-ins have declined, a new breed of outdoor movie theaters has been expanding across the U.S., cropping up in cemeteries, parks, even on rooftops. It's become a modern summer ritual to head to an open-air theater and stake out a prime viewing spot before sunset—whether for a date night or girls' night. Often the appeal is less about the movie itself than about the chance to get together and enjoy a beautiful setting on a balmy evening.
"A huge majority of the audience is coming for the experience," says Ethan Lercher of the Bryant Park Corporation, which runs the free HBO Bryant Park film festival in New York City. "The whole idea is that you talk to your neighbors."
For serious movie buffs, an outdoor theater provides the rare opportunity to watch a classic on a big screen. Unlike cookie-cutter multiplexes, these theaters have a nostalgic allure that recalls the 1960s, when America's love affair with the movies was still a budding romance. "These outdoor screenings are reminiscent of the drive-ins that baby boomers grew up with," explains Tom Boss, who cofounded the Bay Area's Film Night. In Minneapolis, the Summer Music & Movies program travels back even further to the earliest days of the silver screen, presenting silent films with a live musical accompaniment.
But outdoor movie screenings aren't just about old-time Hollywood. They can be forward-looking and bring fresh life to city neighborhoods. The NoMa SummerScreen festival launched in 2008 as part of a development and revitalization initiative in D.C., complete with trendy barbecue and gelato trucks. Each season follows a theme, and 2011 will represents trains through films ranging from Some Like It Hot to Slumdog Millionaire.
It just wouldn't be summer without the thrills of a Hollywood hit combined with the pleasure of soaking up the outdoors at one of these alfresco movie theaters.

CarPix spy photographers have caught the 2015 Chevrolet Cruze under a little less camouflage than the last time we saw it. The shape of the two-part grille is no longer a mystery and we finally see the foglights that flank it - the details of the slimmer headlights are obscured by stickers, though. In back, some family familiar taillights bring the rear into production spec, and beneath them a clean rear diffuser goes uncovered.

Johannesburg - A 35-year-old Ghanaian national was arrested for fraud on Thursday when police found fake passports and work permits in his flat in Yeoville, Johannesburg metro police said.

"There were also four passports of individuals from Italy, Kenya and a couple from Belgium."
The man would appear in the Johannesburg Magistrate's court soon on a fraud charge.

Project $3 Million - Portfolio Management, New Purchase [View article]
I like the idea of writing down the stated goals, dividing your portfolio into sub sections based on investment type, and allocating those sub sections a % proportion - which will change over time as I get older. Additionally, writing down a set of criteria in the cold light of day, rather than trying to apply a general rule of thumb in the heat of the excitement of making a purchase, would really help in applying discipline - to avoid buying something you know deep down doesn't really meet your criteria, but also reassurance - when a core company meets the criteria but you are concerned due to the bad news that may be encircling it.
I am glad to see that the companies you were considering for your next purchase were almost identical to what I was evaluating. I, however went for IBM.

Walgreen Co. - Good Value Long Term But Wait For A Better Upcoming Entry Point [View article]
To clarify my own personal position, I did own WAG and sold recently, crystalizing a nice profit. I did so not as a trade, but due to personal circumstances at the time. Because I still like WAG, and think its good value, I am looking to re-enter at some point. But I am deciding to wait a while, for the possibility of a modest pullback.
Whether that proves to be the best decision, I am not certain. But I believe our discussion highlights the choices an investor is faced with when deciding to allocate their money to an certain stock after a run up.

Last season when Marc Marquez rolled into the Circuit of the Americas, he was still the new kid on the block and just hoping to make an impression.
Sure, he had long been touted as MotoGP's next great one, but at this time last year, he was all potential and hype but still yet to have won anything in the premier class.
On the Saturday of the inaugural Grand Prix of the Americas, the 20-year-old Spaniard crossed one major GP accomplishment off his to do list, becoming the youngest-ever pole winner in MotoGP history.
The following day, Marquez took the next step toward bona fide superstardom, etching his name down as the youngest-ever race winner in MotoGP history.
And of course, the Repsol Honda rookie rolled through the season and ultimately become the youngest-ever MotoGP World Champion.
Equal parts flash and substance, wide-smiling yet absolutely merciless on track, Marquez proved himself quite the conquistador in 2013, winning all three Stateside Grands Prix. His excellence on American soil also came at the (historical) expense of one of the nation's all-time greats, as it was the name of U.S. legend Freddie Spencer that had been displaced from the record books in all of the major youth-related categories.
Now 21, Marquez returns to Texas as the acknowledged 'fastest gun in the West'; he's the one everyone is shooting for rather than the other way around.
The scary thing is that riders are typically expected to make their biggest strides between their rookie and sophomore seasons. In other words, Marquez should prove to be a whole lot better in 2014 than he was in 2013. And No. 93 marched to the title during his learning year. What's he going to do for an encore?
He passed his first major test in the season opener under the lights in Qatar. Despite sitting out some preseason testing after suffering a broken leg during a dirt-track testing incident, Marquez overcame his injuries — and the rejiggered rules — that appeared to put him on the back foot and opened his first-career title defense with a thrilling victory.
Despite still being less than 100 percent, Marquez stands as a heavy favorite to further his winning streak this weekend.
"I have great memories from 2013 here with my first pole and first victory in MotoGP," Marquez said during Thursday's pre-event press conference. "My fibula is a little bit better, not perfect but it has improved. I rode in Qatar with painkillers and I will try to ride without them here."
Fortunately for Marquez — and unfortunately for the rest of the field — the left-hand bias of the Austin circuit plays to his favor and should prove less punishing than it otherwise might.
Friday morning's FP1 served as a warning shot — Marquez was well over a second quicker than his challengers for the bulk of the session and still stood on top of the final order by 0.887 despite a late flurry of (relative) fliers from Aleix Espargaro (who looked like a lethal weapon on his open-spec M1 in Qatar before a pair of QP crashes slowed him), second works Honda runner Dani Pedrosa, and Round 1 runner-up Valentino Rossi.
In FP2 the gap was expanded, not reduced. Marquez ended the day 1.005 seconds ahead of second-ranked Andrea Dovizioso despite the 'open class' rider's access to softer rubber. Furthermore, Marquez's fast time was not a one-off blinder — the six fastest laps of the day all belonged to the Spaniard.
At the end of the day, Marquez said, "You never ever to be fastest plus one second; you never expect that big of an advantage. We feel good and we have a good base."
He struggled to explain why he was just so dominant in Texas. "I don't know. My technician asked me the same question. I don't know. We tried a couple different things with the setup — a little harder and a little softer — and with both setups I am fast. I don't know why. This track is one of my favorites and I like it."
MotoGP's new world order has quickly taken root. Consider this: if Marquez — only one year removed from his status as a poleless, winless rookie — were to do anything other than stand atop the podium at the conclusion of this weekend, it would be considered an upset. Meanwhile, it would be viewed as something of a hero effort if another rider — even one the caliber of Rossi or Jorge Lorenzo — stepped forward and defeated Marquez in a showdown.
"I don't know why but there is more pressure for this race," Marquez admitted. "It looks like if I don't win on Sunday it would be a disaster. But in the end, it's another race. Of course, we will try to win and it's my goal, but if for some reason we cannot win, we will try to stay on the podium."COTA, Grand Prix of The Americas, Marc Marquez, MotoGP

Westward Ho! Rocks Colour Version
Westward Ho! Devon
I decided to have a play with processing a colour version of my last photo of Westward Ho! I have to admit that although I love the black and white version, this colour photo is growing on me quite a lot. I really do need to get a decent ND filter as stacking the two graduated ones that I have and processing is getting tiresome.
Update: I have reprocessed and updated this image, it is now much better.
Which do you prefer the colour version or the black and white one?

Discussion about
I don't know what to do about this phone! I got my original DROID on day one, and now I feel as if it is becoming obsolete.
I think that the DROID X seems like a great phone, but is it worth using up an available upgrade and $200? Motorola said that they are working on two video chatting DROID branded phones and a 2ghz one! So, shall I wait until the end of the year for these, or go for the DROID X?
Gotta say I agree, I am already in a 2 year agreement so I'll probably wait the 14 months from now when I can get the extra $100 off of a phone, by then i'm sure all phones will have video chat and dual core 3ghz processors with 4gb ram.
Ehhh, I have the Milestone and I'm feeling the wrath of waiting for Motorola's updates... I'm selling mine and buying a Nexus One.
Eh? 2.1 came out within a few months of the N1 - a phone that shipped with 2.1. You're upset Froyo isn't out immediately?
Yeah but 2.2 is out (the final release leaked) for the nexus one. Also, the Nexus one is rootable, whereas the Milestone is not. Not rootable in a custom rom sense anyways.
The Nexus One comes unlocked, and it comes with AT&T bands which are the same for Telus, Bell and Rogers up here.
It's kinda of hard to imagine what someone is going to do with a 2 GHz phone; I wouldn't wait for getting a new phone solely on that (same with video chat; I don't see it becoming a reasonable feature until we have 4G networks; otherwise it's only going to be a WIFI-only feature). If you are going to do an upgrade in the near future I would suggest the Droid X only if you wanted a device with a bigger screen; if not then consider the Incredible or wait for the Droid 2.
I think it is. It has only been out a couple months and its hardware is still current. The only major differences between it and the Droid X are the screen sizes and types (OLED v. LCD; I could care less whether or not a phone has an HDMI out). If you want to get picky between the two in regards to photos or video then you should definitely check out articles on Engadget/Gizmodo (or whatever blogs you may prefer) that have examples and see if you like one over the other. Also consider checking them out both in person when you can as the screen types are different.
the droid X and Incredible run vastly different processors. It's been proven that the TI OMAP processor in the Droid X is better than a SnapDragon. The Moto Droid Overclocked to 1Ghz runs better Quadrant tests than a 1Ghz Snapdragon on the Incredible.
I would say the Droid X is better by far, assuming you don't need a physical keyboard. Plus the 720p Video capture appears viewable, but not perfect.
I dunno, ymmv.

I would recommend checking out droidforums.net. They have some really good guides. rooting a 2.1 device is tricky, most often you must rollback to 2.0.1, that's the easiest way in my opinion. Anywho, best of luck! totally worth it!

Momma's Cornbread Patties
1/2 cup self rising flour
1 1/3 cup self rising cornmeal
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 egg
1 cup buttermilk
1/4 cup oil
1/2 finely chopped small onion
It should be a thick batter but not like heavy mud. Add some water if you need to so you can spoon it out in a hot fry pan with a little lard. Fry gently on both sides.
I have been searching for something new to create. I bought some fabric and could not decide on a design. I sat for 3 days looking and searching and could never find anything that felt right. So, I stopped looking.
Then the other day I ran across an old photo. This photo is one I have been researching to find out as much information as possible. I believe it is a depression era image possibly taken when the US Dept. of Agriculture was documenting the conditions of the people in rural areas in need of social services help. I cannot be sure. If anyone knows any of the history of this photo I would love it if you would share it.
Wednesday the light bulb came on, inspiration struck and today I finished piecing a new quilt top.
It still needs a good pressing and I also have to think about how I want to quilt it.
The block is named The Arrowheads. The design is from the late 19th century and would have been commonly found at the time I believe the photo was taken. What caught my eye is the star just around the center of the block. See it?
These quilt blocks measure 26 1/2 inches square.I had to do the math calculations and make my own pattern pieces. I broke the design down into four 9 patch blocks, four arrows made up of two different sets of flying geese and a rectangle and of course the center square. I really love this block. I love it even better because it is what I call a 2'fer – a two for one. I made something new inspired by something old and filled my desire to piece a black and white quilt.
Now I am thinking about what I will do next.
Budget Decorating
This is the wreath I wanted to make before Christmas. The burlap is barn red and appears even deeper with the lightness of the green burlap ribbon. The reason I did not make it then and have made it now is purely due to the cost. I cannot believe how expensive burlap is suddenly now that the burlap crafting craze has taken hold and become trendy.I have been a lover of burlap since the days it was uncool to love old burlap sacks.
This is a 24-inch wreath frame and ten rolls of barn red crafting burlap. Total cost for the wreath with clearance priced Christmas merchandise was $10. That is a huge saving considering this same wreath would have cost me about $100 in materials just before the holidays.
I am very happy with it. I made it using the same technique as for the mesh wreaths. Youtube has many videos if you haven't ever made a wreath from the crafting mesh fabric. Sometimes the burlap can be floppy and not nearly as stiff as the mesh. To correct this I use starch to stiffen the burlap as I put the layers of ruffles on. It is easiest to position the ruffles while it is laying flat then spray it down good with heavy duty starch, allow it dry and then continue with the next layer of ruffles. I have some natural colored burlap floral stems to add to the basic wreath. I am also thinking with the change of the bow from green to blue this would be lovely 4th of July wreath as well as a white bow would make it festive for Valentine's Day. So many possibilities!
Happy crafting in the new year!

Abramovich's Son May Buy FC Copenhagen Stake, Ekstra Bladet Says
Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich's son, Arkady, may buy a stake in Parken Sport & Entertainment A/S, which owns the soccer club FC Copenhagen, newspaper Ekstra Bladet reported.
Arkady Abramovich had lunch and "discussed football" on Nov. 27 with Carsten Koch, director of the pension fund Loenmodtagernes Dyrtidsfond, which owns 30 percent of Parken shares, Koch said according to Copenhagen-based Ekstra Bladet.
The pension fund's stake in Parken could be sold "if someone came with the right price," Koch said according to Ekstra Bladet.

Mrs. Benjamin Millepied is tres sexy!
Natalie Portman, who gave birth to son Aleph in June of last year and wed beau Millepied earlier this month, goes topless and gives the camera a seriously sultry stare in a just-released new ad for Dior beauty.
PHOTOS: Nat's stunning pregnancy
Reclining on a stylish couch, Portman, 31, shows off her figure in the promo for Rouge Dior Nude Lipcolor, which features eight new shades.
Portman's fave? Grege #169. Proceeds of the shade will benefit the Free the Children Association.
"I chose the color Grege because it's the one I'd wear myself," the Oscar winner says in a statement. "The number [169] contains different dates that are important to me and my family."
The Oscar-winner and dancer-choreographer Millepied, 35, exchanged vows Aug. 4 in a traditional Jewish ceremony overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Big Sur, Calif. "Natalie has never been happier," a source told Us.

Despite repeated set backs along the way, Privacy for All Students continues their attack on a California law.
A transgender student originally told police he was assaulted in a bathroom at his California high school.
After falling more than 17,000 signatures short of qualifying a repeal measure for a referendum, the anti-LGBT Pacific Justice Institute vows to continue challenging California's Student Success and Opportunity Act.
A coalition of transphobic organizations came up more than 17,000 valid signatures short in an effort to put the Student Success and Opportunity Act up for a repeal in November.
Pat Cordova-Goff never thought she'd have the chance to play sports after coming out as transgender. A recently implemented California law has given her hope.
A teenage girl was suspended from her California high school for failure to adhere to the dress code for female students in her district, something she did to shine light on mixed messages she's received from officials.
Efforts to repeal a law designed to protect transgender students remain alive as signature verification cleared one of two hurdles.
The school district in California's capital city is set to consider expanding its nondiscrimination policy to include transgender students in a vote Thursday.
By the latest count, opponents of California's Student Success and Opportunity Act don't appear to have obtained enough valid signatures to qualify a measure to repeal the law for the November 2014 ballot.
Initial projections indicate that right-wing activists did not secure enough signatories to place California's School Success and Opportunity Act on the chopping block in next year's election.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Donner party, group of American pioneers stranded en route to California. In late 1846, 87 immigrants led by George and Jacob Donner were trapped by heavy snow in the Sierra Nevada. Fifteen of the group set out to find help. When the others' food ran out, they reportedly resorted to cannibalism of those already dead. (After examining remains from the campsite, researchers in 2010 announced that they had been unable to find any human bones or other physical evidence of cannibalism.) The 47 surviving members were rescued in February 1847. Donner Lake and Donner Pass, Calif., are named for them.

Baylor's Cory Jefferson announces return to school
This past season was mostly disappointing for Baylor, but the Bears are hoping to build on a solid late-season run that included a win over Kansas and an NIT championship.
Baylor took another step in that direction on Thursday. Junior forward
"We went out on a good note," Jefferson said at a press conference, "and we're hoping to continue that next season."
Jefferson, a 6-foot-9 Texas native, was one of the bigger breakout players of this past season. After averaging fewer than four points during his sophomore season, Jefferson became a consistent inside weapon. Despite being overshadowed by Isaiah Austin and Pierre Jackson, Jefferson averaged 13.3 points and 8.0 rebounds while also blocking nearly two shots per game.
Projected as a mid-second round draft pick this summer by most services, Jefferson is a terrific athlete with length. He's not a completely polished back-to-the-basket player yet, but he is active on the offensive glass and is also effective in transition or when cutting to the basket. Defensively, his athleticism and length obviously make him a major factor when it comes to blocking shots.
"Being a fifth-year guy, everyone is going to look to me as a leader," Jefferson said. "I am willing to step up and take that position. I have no problem with it."
Baylor is still waiting for Austin's decision, which will come in the next couple of days. They will definitely lose Jackson and fellow senior guard A.J. Walton, but coach Scott Drew welcomes four-star frontcourt players Dominic Woodson and Ishmail Wainright, as well as big man Jonathan Motley and junior-college guard Kenny Cherry. Brady Heslip is back as a starter, while Rico Gathers, Gary Franklin and Deuce Bello were all consistent members of the rotation.
After Kansas and Oklahoma State, the Big 12 could be wide open next season.

Megan & Rose Martin are the gals behind Fig & Fauna, a blog that documents life on Megan & her husband Michael's farm in the south of Florida (Megan and Rose are sisters-in-law). they keep chickens, cows, dairy goats and rabbits and use the ingredients sourced from the homestead and surrounding farms to make the recipes featured on the site (a cookbook is in the works). Make sure to watch the video below shot by Tiger in Jar that shows the pace of farm life so beautifully.
Beetlebung Farm
Gabriela Herman took these beautiful photographs at Beetlebung Farm on Martha's Vineyard where chef Chris Fischer hosts informal rustic dinners in the farm's greenhouse (his family owns the place, and he's a 12th generation "Vineyarder"). he cooks farm fresh produce like fingerling potatoes and beets dressed with red wine vinegar, salads topped with homemade goats cheese and freshly caught bluefish stuffed with herbs that's cooked over the fire… holy moly, can you say heaven? heaven.
please, please, please let me get what i want
i'd like a wet winter now, please! i'd also like a farm, and perhaps some sheep.

die laaitjie
friends of mine are going to die laaitjie in robertson for a weekend away.
Die Laaitjie is so called as it nestles in the smallest and last of the Dassieshoek valleys in the Langeberg mountains. Despite being so completely remote, the farm is only 7 kilometres from the centre of Robertson. The farm is situated alone in a bowl made by the surrounding mountains. 25 Ha of the farm consists of peach, pear and apricot trees, all of which fill the valley with colourful blossoms during the spring months. The mountains themselves are criss-crossed with hiking, walking and horse-riding trails suitable for all levels of expertise. Enjoy a gentle stroll to the river before breakfast, or spend a whole day exploring the ravines.

TheHighKing The High King YKTTW Discussion
|The High King
This king is greater than the others, yet he isn't very intrusiveNeeds Examples Up For Grabs
So you want to show that your character is no mere monarch, but one so important that the other kings swear fealty to him. But you don't want to call him an emperor, since this word carries so much negative cultural baggage. The solution is making him a High King. High King is a title found in historical Britain and several other places and widely used in fiction. A High King rules a feudal alliance or federation of states; usually he doesn't manifest direct power over all subjects of his vassal kings, which makes him different from a totalitarian emperor who is omnipresent in the daily affairs of his subject. That's why a High King is likely to be good, or even Big Good.
Examples:[[foldercontrol]] [[folder:Literature]]
- Variant in the Belgariad: Garion assumes the title of Overlord of the West (sometimes called Overking), which gives him nominal power over the countries on the "good" side of the continent. This doesn't give him actual rule in those countries, but he can order them to mobilise their armies in the inevitable event that the Angaraks finally invade. Similarly, the various schemers on the "evil" side of the world deign to call themselves "Overking of Angarak", but none of them manage to truly achieve that power, except for Torak, who is called "King and God".
- In The Chronicles of Narnia, Aslan names Peter High King of Narnia. As such, he has authority over other rulers of Narnia (such as his siblings, and King Caspian), but is still under the authority of Aslan.
- Lloyd Alexander's Prydain Chronicles. Math son of Mathonwy was the High King of Prydain, but he was never shown doing much of anything - that was left up to Prince Gwydion. He appeared in the first book to thank the heroes for their efforts against the Horned King, was mentioned in each of the next three books, and appeared shortly before his death in the last book.
- Codex Alera: The First Lord of Alera is basically this, dispite his title. His subordinates are called High Lords, not kings, but are largely autonomous and rule over enough territory they might well have been called kings if it weren't for inherited Roman cultural baggage regarding kings.
- Dwarves in Discworld consider lower to be better than higher, so they have a Low King who is acknowledged by most dwarves as the most important monarch.
- In the Land of Oz the rulers of the four countries (Munchkins, Gillikins, Winkies, and Quadlings) are under the ruler of Oz in general who lives in the Emerald City. Or at least after book one, where the Wicked Witches of the East & West were destroyed and replaced.
- In J. R. R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion, the exiled High Elves in Middle-earth spread out into multiple kingdoms with separate kings, but they were all (at least in theory) subject to the High King. In practice, most subjects of the House of Fëanor pretended that there wasn't one.
- Agamemnon in The Iliad is said to be the king over all the Achaians (Greeks), who are also divided into various smaller kingdoms.
- The High King (Ard Ri) of Ireland. The office did exist in real life, but it was primarily a ceremonial title, and is not definitely documented before the 9th century CE. In the Irish legends, however, there is an unbroken succession of powerful High Kings starting in the 2nd millennium BCE with Slaine mac Dela of the Fir Bolg, and containing mythical and semi-mythical figures like Nuada and Lugh of the Tuatha De Dannan, Conaire Mor, Conn the Hundred-Fighter, Cormac mac Airt, Niall of the Nine Hostages, and Loegaire, up to historical kings like Brian Boruma mac Cennetig (a.k.a. Brian Boru). Traditional Irish chronicles regard Mael Sechnaill (died 1022) as the last undisputed High King, with the kings after him considered "High Kings with Opposition", and Rory O'Connor (Rudraige Ua Conchobair) being the last bearer of the title when it was made obsolete in 1171 by the Norman invasion of Ireland. The last king to style himself High King of Ireland was Edward the Bruce, who tried to break Ireland from English control, but was killed in 1318.
- King Arthur was said to be High King over the petty kings of Britain.
- Dungeons & Dragons, Forgotten Realms campaign setting: In the Moonshae Islands, the Folk are divided into a number of small kingdoms loosely controlled by a High King, who's more of a figurehead than a true ruler.
- In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim the High King of Skyrim is the liege of all Jarls. His throne is right now vacant and hotly contested.
- Final Fantasy XII: The Dynast King Raithwall in the back story united the nations of Ivalice into the Galtean Alliance and it is the goal of the Big Bad to do the same thing.
- The Lycian Alliance of Fire Emblem is a group of fiefdoms each ruled by a Marquess that all answer the the Marquess of Ostia only in times of war. In the ending of the Binding Blade the Ostian Marchioness Lillina (Alongside Roy if they marry) unites them and becomes the High Queen.
- In World of Warcraft Varian Wrynn, King of Stormwind, has become this for the Alliance, though this was mostly done to have an Alliance counterpart to the Horde's Warchief.
- In He-Man and the Masters of the Universe the planet Eternia is made up of several kingdoms but King Randor is the high king of the whole world.
- Ireland had a ceremonial High King (Ard Ri) at least as early as the 9th century CE, and possibly before (see the Mythology folder). This tradition is probably an inspiration for some of the Literature examples (such as Middle-earth and Chronicles of Prydain).
- The East Slavic, and later Russian equivalent is the title "veliki knyaz", usually translated to English as "grand prince" but otherwise identical to the other High Kings. It started as the title of the prince of Kiev, considered first among equals in Medieval Ruthenia, and continued in specifically Russian principalities of Vladimir and, later, Moscow when Kiev lost prominence. Ivan III was the grand prince who did away with all the feudal patchwork and became a de facto emperor in everything but name, but the title persisted as tradition until his grandson, Ivan the Terrible, gave himself the de jure imperial title of Tsar.

The former model said he and his ex-boyfriend Alex, whom he dubbed "the doctor," were both sperm donors.
"A French lesbian had asked if we would be sperm donors," he told Banks. "So we thought, 'OK, you want me to do you?' And she was like, 'Ooooh, I'm not that talented.' So I said, 'Okay fine.' So we did a little test tube."
Although he said he isn't the biological father (his ex is), Miss J added that he is still actively involved in Boris' life.

In his new book "Follow the Model" (which hits shelves today), he writes: "The experience has enriched my life beyond imagination." He said his son is "an incredibly smart child. He was toilet-trained at a year and three months. He refuses to drink out of plastic and will use only glass."
