CUT-THROAT competition among charities is leaving older people out in the cold, says a former nursing sister from Elsecar.
Win Noble, 80, is campaigning for more funding and volunteers for Age UK. She says the charity "brought her to life" after she suffered a series of personal tragedies. But she said the organisation is now struggling because giving to charities for the elderly is "unfashionable."
The great grandmother says many elderly people feel "invisible" in a youth-obsessed society.
Demand for Age UK Barnsley services is at its highest since the charity started more than 40 years ago and it is desperate for more help.
But Win says it is falling behind as people prefer to give to other charities like those for children and cancer research.
Win, of Gray Street, was a nursing sister at Mount Vernon Hospital in Barnsley for many years but had to retire early to care for husband Roland, who was a miner at Elsecar pit.
He died in 2001 but in 2005 and 2008 Win - who had six children - lost two of her daughters to brain related illnesses. She began to suffer serious health conditions including diabetes and fell into a deep depression.
"I felt completely lost and abandoned," she said. "On most days I could hardly get out of bed. I felt like a 'non person' with nothing going on in my life and no-one caring."
Win's doctor referred her to a care team who then referred her to Age UK. She was set up with a telephone befriender and a home visiting befriender who told her about Age UK support groups at Queen's Road, Barnsley.
Win said: "I was scared at first. I'd been on my own so long I didn't see anyone else. I had lost the knack of talking. Although I have children some live away and some are not well."
She found Age UK's support groups friendly and helpful.
"It felt like they had wrapped their arms around me from the moment I walked in. Going there brought me back to life."
Win has been going to the groups, which include games and crafts, for three years and runs activities at Age UK's Tuesday Allsorts group at Queen's Road, Barnsley.
But she worries about the future. "Our only income is from selling goods in our five charity shops around Barnsley and competition is fierce as other charity shops are vying for customers.
"Income nowhere near covers our expenses, and volunteers - especially drivers - are desperately needed."
Age UK research shows Barnsley has a minimum of 2,500 elderly people needing support to reduce feelings of isolation.
Ninety-eight per cent of those referred to Age UK Barnsley's befriending service cite loneliness as the reason for referral with 60 per cent spending more than 23 hours a day alone. Shockingly, many consider the television their main form of company.

College Hockey:Huskies Maul Tigers
LeBlanc Notches Hat Trick
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Finishing what they started in the third Friday night, the St. Cloud State University Huskies shot out of the gates Saturday night with a four-goal first period, helping them to a 6-1 defeat of their hosts, the Colorado College Tigers.
"We played pretty good last night, and we carried it into tonight," said SCSU coach Bob Motzko. "I liked us in the first and second period. I thought we played very good tonight."
"We weren't that flat, we were skating fine, but they hit us with, boom, one goal, two goals," said CC coach Scott Owens. "They came at us unbelievably hard, quick, confident, strong sticks and before you know it, it was 4-0. It was very surprising, very shocking and I don't think we dealt with it very well."
The Huskies started off the scoring with a Drew LeBlanc goal 4:49 into the first period and, ironically, stopped their opening assault with another goal by the freshman forward 4:49 minutes remaining in the frame.
"He has turned a corner," said Motzko of the freshman. "We said he was looking over the mountaintop, he can see that there's where the hockey was, he just didn't know how to get over it. Maybe this is the game where he gets over that mountaintop because he's been playing great for us and we've seen it coming."
LeBlanc's first goal, a shot from the left side of the circle that went in past Tigers' netminder Richard Bachman (24 saves), was originally credited to teammate John Swanson, but was later changed.
St. Cloud went up 2-0 10:55 into the period when Sam Zabkowicz fired a shot from the high-slot that went in five-hole on Bachman. Just one minute and 24 seconds later on a delayed penalty call, the Huskies went up 3-0 thanks to Tony Mosey.
Then, just as a Huskies' power play expired, LeBlanc scored his second of the night to make it 4-0 St. Cloud.
The Huskies extended their lead to five goals when LeBlanc finished off his hat trick 11 minutes into the second period by shooting a tough angle shot in past Bachman.
"I know it went off the back wall and I just tried to get it up to the top of the net, so I couldn't tell you what happened," said LeBlanc.
Jordy Christian then made it 6-0 with 5:53 remaining in the middle frame after he took an Aaron Marvin pass in front of the net and reached it around Bachman and in.
Though he thought about it earlier, Owens replaced Bachman with freshman Tyler O'Brien (5 saves) about five minutes into the third period.
"I might have thought of it in the middle there in the second when it got to be 5-0, 6-0, but I thought Tyler stepped in and played pretty well, so for a young kid like that without that much experience I thought he did pretty well," said Owens.
The Tigers managed to spoil Jase Weslosky's shutout bid, however, when Overman backhanded a shot past the St. Cloud goaltender 9:03 into the third period.
"I was seeing the puck a lot easier tonight and pucks were hitting me tonight so it's always good when pucks are coming in and you can get a piece of them and see them through everybody," said Weslosky (34 saves). "It's just about staying positive and we were able to take the confidence from last night and bring it into tonight."
The Tigers are idle until February 6th when they visit Michigan Tech while the Huskies return home next weekend for a two-game series against North Dakota.

Matteo Guidicelli has clarified some important issues about Sarah Geronimo. In an interview with the local media this afternoon, Jan. 23, 2014 (Philippine time), the actor believe that this is not the right time to reveal his blossoming romance with the pop princess.
"I guess it's not the right time, you know," he said when asked about their rumored relationship. "I wanna respect her side, her family, and also my side. And whatever Sarah and I have, I wanna protect that for now," Matteo added. The actor has expressed his happiness when someone from the local media told him that Sarah's mom, Divine Geronimo, is favoring him for her daughter. "Really, that's nice, thank you," he said.
Meanwhile, if some of the netizens are satisfied with his revelation, Marchioness, a certified popster, believe that Sarah Geronimo has found the right guy this time, but she insisted that the truth should come out first before they (Sarah and Matteo) decided to separate their ways
"I like Sarah, a lot. Thing is, she complains that in the past, her relationships became the feast of every paparazzi in town and that this time, she just wants to protect her private life but she has not actually confirmed anything with either the first or the second, only after the relationships fizzled out," she said.
Marchioness added that she has seen nothing wrong if they decided to come out and reveal their relationship publicly. "I see nothing wrong in them confirming and leading their lives quietly away from the press. By not confirming, they have sort of left enough crumbs for the press to keep hounding them. Other couples have confirmed and were left alone until they have decided to go their separate ways. If they really want to live quietly and unharassed, come out into the open and be happy. Personally, I think she made the right choice this time," she added.

"House of Bathory" by Linda Lafferty focuses on Betsy Path, a psychoanalyst, and her teenage patient, Daisy Hart. Both are haunted by their past and soon realize that the atrocities of Elizabeth Bathory still echo in modern day. The novel divides its time between the 1600s and modern day as Betsy and Daisy attempt to unravel how the curse of Elizabeth Bathory is still at work. The novel is, of course, inspired by the true events surrounding the infamous Bathory and the torture she executed on young women in an attempt to lengthen her own life. It looks as though Lafferty will throw in plenty of fictional suspense in the form of intrigue during Bathory's time as well as whatever horrors she has in mind for her two heroines. Amazon Publishing is releasing the title on January 14th and it will be available in paperback, Kindle, and MP3 audio.

Ivanhoe Patriotism Quotes
How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
A circumstance which greatly tended to enhance the tyranny of the nobility, and the sufferings of the inferior classes, arose from the consequences of the Conquest by Duke William of Normandy. Four generations had not sufficed to blend the hostile blood of the Normans and Anglo-Saxons, or to unite, by common language and mutual interests, two hostile races, one of which still felt the elation of triumph, while the other groaned under all the consequences of defeat. [...] All the monarchs of the Norman race had shown the most marked predilection for their Norman subjects; the laws of the chase, and many others equally unknown to the milder and more free spirit of the Saxon constitution, had been fixed upon the necks of the subjugated inhabitants, to add weight, as it were, to the feudal chains with which they were loaded. [...]
This state of things I have thought it necessary to premise for the information of the general reader, who might be apt to forget, that, although no great historical events, such as war or insurrection, mark the existence of the Anglo-Saxons as a separate people subsequent to the reign of William the Second; yet the great national distinctions betwixt them and their conquerors, the recollection of what they had formerly been, and to what they were now reduced, continued down to the reign of Edward the Third, to keep open the wounds which the Conquest had inflicted, and to maintain a line of separation betwixt the descendants of the victor Normans and the vanquished Saxons. (1.4-5)
Scott loved outsiders. He made his name as a novelist writing about outlaws and soldiers who rebelled against English authority in 18th century Scotland. Even though he has chosen a very different historical period for Ivanhoe, we can still see the same preoccupation with people resisting conquest. In this case, it's the Saxons (descendants of Old Germanic tribes that occupied Britain in the 5th century) vs. the Normans (who invaded Britain from France in 1066).
Scott has chosen to set Ivanhoe in northern England, sometime between 1189 and 1199 – over a hundred years after the invasion of the Normans. Even though the Normans have become the lords of the land, the Saxons are still doing their best to resist their domination.
Scott admits right here in Chapter 1 that this resistance is not going to be successful. "The great national distinctions" between the Saxons and the Normans only continue on to "the reign of Edward the Third" (so, the 14th century). Modern English is a mixture of Saxon and Norman words, and there is no distinction between Saxon and Norman culture or lineage in England today. As for why Scott would choose to write about a cultural distinction that no longer really matters, see our "Setting" section.
Quote #2
"Why, how call you those grunting brutes running about on their four legs?" demanded Wamba.
"Swine, fool – swine," said the herd; "every fool knows that."
"And swine is good Saxon," said the Jester; "but how call you the sow when she is flayed, and drawn, and quartered, and hung up by the heels, like a traitor?"
"Pork," answered the swineherd.
"I am very glad every fool knows that too," said Wamba, "and pork, I think, is good Norman-French; and so when the brute lives, and is in the charge of a Saxon slave, she goes by her Saxon name; but becomes a Norman, and is called pork, when she is carried to the castle hall to feast among the nobles. What dost thou think of this, friend Gurth, ha?" (1.17-18)
Wamba points out that Gurth, the pig-herder, is a Saxon slave. Gurth uses a Saxon word to refer to his herd ("swine"), but when the pigs are slaughtered and eaten they are called "pork," a Norman-French word. The hard work of pig-herding is Saxon, but the delicious reward, pork, is Norman. Wamba sums up the whole Norman/Saxon injustice of this book with the contrast between these two words: the Saxons make the things that the Normans consume.
Of course Wamba overlooks the fact that Gurth is not a slave to the Normans; his master is a Saxon. Wamba's anti-Norman rant sounds good, and the swine/pork split is really clever. But even at this early stage of the book, we're already getting the sense that at least some of this anti-Norman feeling is just a cover for deeper problems among the Saxons.
Quote #3
"Forgive me, lady," replied Bois-Guilbert; "the English monarch did indeed bring to Palestine a host of gallant warriors, second only to those whose breasts have been the unceasing bulwark of that blessed land."
"Second to NONE," said the Pilgrim, who had stood near enough to hear, and had listened to this conversation with marked impatience. All turned towards the spot from whence this unexpected asseveration was heard. "I say," repeated the Pilgrim in a firm and strong voice, "that the English chivalry were second to NONE who ever drew sword in defence of the Holy Land. I say besides, for I saw it, that King Richard himself, and five of his knights, held a tournament after the taking of St. John-de-Acre, as challengers against all comers. I say that, on that day, each knight ran three courses, and cast to the ground three antagonists. I add, that seven of these assailants were Knights of the Temple; and Sir Brian de Bois-Guilbert well knows the truth of what I tell you." (5.27-28)
The squabble between the Saxons and the Normans continues. Bois-Guilbert says the knights of his order, the Templars, are the best, while the Palmer (Ivanhoe in disguise) swears the English knights are the best.
What's interesting is not so much that the Normans and the Saxons don't like each other (that's pretty obvious), but the terms Scott uses. Ivanhoe doesn't say the Saxon knights are the best; he's talking about the English knights. Even in 1189, "English" could mean Saxon, Norman, Dane, Celt – any of the peoples who had overrun the British isles for centuries. Ivanhoe expresses patriotism for a new England made up of both honorable Saxons and great Normans like King Richard I (and excluding proud, oppressive Normans like Bois-Guilbert). Cedric can't let go of old Saxon/Norman struggles, but Ivanhoe represents a new, more integrated England.

College Hockey:Eagles, Friars hot as races get even tighter in Hockey East
The end is near to the Hockey East regular season and the race for the league title, home ice and the final playoff spot all tightened up this past weekend. What a few weeks back was five points separating three teams for the league title is now two. Two weeks ago it seemed like New Hampshire and Providence were fighting for playoffs spots; now they're in the home ice race. And Northeastern and UMass are getting near desparation time. All of that in three things I learned this week:
1. There's a new sheriff in town
Games in hand are now a thing of the past (except for Maine, which has played one more game than every other team), and the team at the top is – almost unbelievably – Massachusetts-Lowell. With Lowell's win on Friday over Merrimack combined with Boston University's loss moved the River Hawks into first place. It's the latest in the season that Lowell has ever had solo possession of the top spot. That said, there's is ZERO breathing room for the River Hawks. A loss on Saturday to Maine leaves BU and Boston College a point back and the Black Bears and Warriors two back. It seems almost inevitable this race will come down to the final weekend.
2. Battling for playoff life turns to a battle for home ice
It was just two weeks ago that New Hampshire and Providence seemed like they would be fighting only for a playoff spot. Now the Friars are five points behind fourth-place Merrimack and Maine; New Hampshire is six. With only six games left for each team, it may be a far stretch to think these teams can just all the way to fourth place, but each team is hot right now. UNH took three points this weekend from Northeastern (win) and Merrimack (tie). Providence earned four points with an upset of Maine and a one-goal win over UMass.
Do or die time for NU and UMass
Both Northeastern and UMass are playing decent hockey (heck, UMass just beat the number one team in the country on Friday), but seem poised to be the two teams looking for the final playoff spot. It's remarkable to think that either of these teams could miss the playoffs. But this is a race for points. Hard to tell which team has a more difficult slate remaining. Each play two against Maine (though Northeastern's games are at home). Northeastern has to play two versus BU and Providence. UMass gets New Hampshire and Merrimack for two each. Like the league title, this final playoff spot may not be decided until the final night.

FREE VIDEO: Highlights vs. Central Michigan
TUCSON, Ariz. - The Arizona football season ticket marketing slogan this season was "Let the Games Begin". Now that the games have begun, Wildcat coaches, players and fans are feeling pretty good. An agonizing eight-month layoff between the 2008 Pioneer Las Vegas Bowl victory and the 2009 season opener is now a thing of the past, and the Wildcats are 1-0 on the new season.
Despite the threat of thunderstorms and a 43-minute delay for the opening kickoff, a crowd of 51,683 fans cheered the Wildcats to a 19-6 victory as they shut down one of the most prolific offenses in the nation led by Central Michigan quarterback Dan LeFevour.
"The crowd at Arizona Stadium was fantastic last Saturday," UA athletic director Jim Livengood said. "In recent years, the support for our football program has been growing and we have made Arizona Stadium one of the most electric game day atmospheres in the country."
The crowd was the second-largest ever at Arizona Stadium on a Labor Day weekend, a testament to the excitement for Arizona's 2009 season. In 2006, the 11th-largest crowd ever at Arizona, 58,450, watched as the Wildcats defeated Brigham Young, 16-13, on a last-second field goal by current Dallas Cowboys kicker, Nick Folk.
Arizona fans have been a key part of UA's current run of success in Arizona Stadium. The Wildcats have won eight of their last 10 home games dating back to the end of the 2007 season.
Under Mike Stoops, Arizona has drawn 1,794,765 fans in 35 games since 2004, an average of 51,279 fans per game. Four of UA's top six all-time season-per-game attendance figures have come in the last four seasons under Stoops.
The Wildcats' scoring and defense have been much improved in recent years, bringing victories and increased enthusiasm to Arizona Stadium each home Saturday. Last season, Arizona scored at least 30 points five times and has done so in seven of its last 10 homes games, while opponents have struggled offensively.
In the last eight games in Arizona Stadium, UA's defense has held opponents to a paltry 109 total points (13.6 points per game). The Wildcats have allowed just 49 points in the second half of those games (7.0 ppg), and only California (27) has broken the 20-point barrier for points in a game.
This week, the Wildcats welcome in-state rival Northern Arizona this Saturday at 7 p.m. for what will be the final home game in 35 days, tied for the second longest home game drought in the nation. Fans can purchase tickets to the NAU game online, in-person at the McKale Ticket Office or by calling 520-621-CATS.
Arizona returns home in October for an action-packed slate that includes Pac-10 foes Stanford (Family Weekend, Oct. 17) and UCLA (Oct. 24). In November, UA closes its home slate with a Homecoming matchup against Washington State (Nov. 7) and the finale against Oregon (Nov. 21).
News and Notes:
- Those who attended last Saturday's game may have noticed a new addition to Arizona Stadium: chair-back seats. This year, season ticket holders can purchase their own personal chair-back seat assigned to their specific seating location through www.arizonaseatback.com. Visit the Web site to have yours installed for this week's game!
- The Arizona defense coaching staff has been recognized for guiding the Wildcat defense to a dominating performance against Central Michigan. Led by defensive coordinator Mark Stoops, the UA coaches were recognized by FootballScoop.com as "Game-Changing Coaches".
- Former Arizona All-American and three-time Super Bowl champion Tedy Bruschi will join ESPN as an NFL analyst, the network announced today.

JWC TO JEANNIE WELSH ; 6 May 1844; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18440506-JWC-JW-01; CL 18: 37-40
[6 May 1844]
Dearest Babbie
My life for some days back has been "as good as a play" (to use Mrs Macready's favourite simile) or one might even compare it to a novel by Mrs Crow1—futile in the extreme, but so full of plot that the interest (such as it is) has never been allowed to lag— Take Friday forenoon for Speciment (Robert Macturk).2 I sat down to write to you and while I was still seeking a pen that would write, "there came to pass"3 a knock long, lugubrious, distracted, which, skilled as I am in the physiognomy of door—knocks, I knew not what to make of— On the door being opened "a heavy Body" walked in, of which I heard Helen enquire "Your name if you please Sir?" "I have no name" was the answer, in a sepulchral voice—"Sarv'd her right"; for she knew it well enough without asking—as appeared by her flinging the door open and announcing "Mr Garnier" I rose to give him a cordial welcome for I had not seen poor Garnier these many months and heard in the interim a vague rumour of his being in Prison. But when I saw the figure he was I could scarcely swallow down a scream. He looked bigger than ever—blown up in fact,—his grizzled hair hung horrible about his head like a mop,—his face, hands, and clothes were in the last stage of dirtiness—his shirt all open in the breast disclosed "what shall I say? strange things upon my honour,"—and the rolling of his eyes clearly indicated him to be as mad as a march hare!— I concealed my dismay as well as I could and bade him sit down and began asking him the usual questions. If his look had frightened me his speech frightened me still more— "He had discovered a nest of murderers in the court where he lived, he knew of twelve who had been murdered by them—"it was quite a Burking business"—he had heard the screams of a woman in the night, had looked from his window and seen the murderers, of whom his Landlord was the chief, hide the dead body in a dilapidated house— there were blood stains on the floor next morning and in spite of all this the Authorities would not enquire into it—disbelieved his word—his—damnation! He who in his own country had fought twenty five duels to preserve his honour from stain (that's a fact) was to be insulted with impunity by the English—no by God— he had sworn to be revenged—the blood of the whole english nation should wash out his disgrace! (pleasant talking!) Henceforth he was the deadly foe of every Englishman!— "Well said I trying to seem unconcerned tho' my eyes were intently watching his least movement—"I am not an Englishman, but a Scotch-woman, so you need not look so furious at me"—"I have done for Mazzini however" said he—and that is so far good"!!! Then suddenly turning on me the most benevolent eyes in the world he said with a quite paternal tenderness "you look better than when I saw you last! a little better, but always pale"!— No wonder that I was pale just then!—and then the tears rushed over his face and he turned his face quite away from me as if I were awakening some consciousness in him which he could not endure—after half an hour of the bloodiest talk during which I had the fortitude not to send for Carlyle—his mad fury seeming to have men rather than women for its object—and my heart really quaking at what might happen if I brought a Man to my rescue) he rose and stalked to the door—there he stopt and held out his hand to me turning his head in the opposite direction—I gave him my hand boldly—which I had soon reason to repent for he crushed it in his as if he meant to reduce it to a jelly. I screamed and fell half fainting over his arm—and tho' I cried several times Oh for Gods sake! he held it at least a minute in this horrible grasp. When he quitted it I held it up all red and swelled— He looked at it for a moment with a devilish satisfaction—then his expression suddenly changing he said kindly "Oh you are hurt—Well I am sorry— but IT WAS NECESSARY"!—then he walked slowly away— Heaven preserve me from any more such necessities! My hand could take no hold of anything for many hours after and it is not quite right yet—
He had not been gone ten minutes when Mazzini came to show that he had not been "done for" in the worst sense of the words—and while we were still gravely discussing poor Garnier State and consulting what could be done for him—in the way of discovering his Mother—or getting him put up before he does any mischief which he is in the fair of—Old Sterling came and finding M. here and something grave going on betwixt us HE was seized with a fit of "temporary insanity" in which he permitted himself to utter an impertinence, whereupon my humour being already jarred I told him that he was an old fool and had better get about his business—not exactly in THESE words, but that was the purport— So with a look which Mazzini said was like that of a wild beast— I was not heeding for my part how he looked— he started up and took what was intended to sound—as an everlasting farewell!
"Will he ever come back"? said M— as the door was slamed behind the irritated John4—"Yes said I the day after tomorrow at furthest—he will rage out today—sulk tomorrow—and come back on his knees (figuratively speaking) the day after—and so it was—or rather he did better for he sent me the carriage yesterday with a touching message that he was too ill to write or go out—but sent me the carriage for my own use—of course I sent it back again unused—for I do not forgive him all at once in these cases and besides when it came—Plattnauer was here.
Then after Sterling, came Robertson whose normal state is a certain insanity—I rung for boiling water and made myself some Brandy negus to brace my shattered nerves—then I went out with Mazzini and him seeing they were determined to sit each other out, and not choosing to remain quietly the victim of this conspiracy—on coming in there was a boy leading about a horse before the door and I found Arthur Helps lying on my sofa Asleep!!!
And so on! The air is full of madness at present— I could give you more extraordinary instances than the above out of my own experience—but one cannot write everything— You have read in the newspaper our murder5 I hope— You cannot think how much more interesting a murder becomes from being committed at ones own door—
I saw a letter from your house the other day to Elizabeth. It was to the following effect
"Cowntess Puplow
I am arrived here saf I hope you dow not tak it amis that I have not written to you—i have been very busy since I cam to this town— I am very comfortable—thy are very kind to me—but I have a good deal of wark. Tell cownt Sartorcow that I will write to him when I can find time—
Your abliged
Margaret. 6—"
the hand was strong—and flowing— Elizabeth dreaded that it was a mans—bu[t] I comforted her with the assurance that the spelling which I have not at all done justice to could be nobody's but the girls own—
I was glad to hear that you had a prospect of seeing Mrs Paulet again I was just going to have asked if she had melted into thin air—
But I must conclude for several reasons—the best that my letter is already long enough Kindest love and kisses to them all
Ever your own
Jane Carlyle
Has my Uncle read Men and Women by the Authoress of Susan Hoply Do get him both these books if he have not seen them the[y] are by Mrs Crow the foolish woman in the body that ever was and the most amusing Novelist
Late thanks for your two long letters! I forgot the address Margaret gave Cowntes Puplow—Mr Welch's 20 MERRYLAND Street

A former Swedish Under-21 international, Martin Olsson emerged as the first-choice left-back for the senior national side during the latter stages of the UEFA EURO 2012 qualifying campaign. Also more than capable of playing on the left wing, he has spent his whole career in England with Blackburn Rovers FC, who were relegated from the Premier League in 2012.
• Joined Blackburn in January 2006 after word began to spread of his exceptional talent while he was playing youth football in Sweden for Högaborgs BK.
• Made his Blackburn debut as a substitute in a UEFA Cup second qualifying round tie against Finnish club Myllykosken Pallo-47 in August 2007 – it remains his only outing in UEFA club competition.
• Made only scant appearances in his first two seasons at Blackburn but featured prominently for Sweden's Under-21 side and was a member of the 2009 UEFA European U21 Championship final squad in his native land, playing three times.
• Broke into the Blackburn first team under manager Sam Allardyce in 2009/10 and, when fit, became a fixture in the side at left-back under successor Steve Kean, scoring Premier League goals in vital home wins against Liverpool FC (3-1) and Bolton Wanderers FC (1-0).
• Made a sensational start to his senior international career, scoring twice on his debut – as a 66th-minute substitute – in a 4-2 defeat of Bosnia and Herzegovina on 29 May 2010; he also found the net on his first two competitive starts, in UEFA EURO 2012 qualifiers away to San Marino (5-0) and Finland (2-1).

Today, my family and I proudly announce the beginning of my campaign for Williston City Council, Group E. My name is Robert Mack and I have called Williston my home for over 20 years. This is not a decision I came to without carefully considering the commitment to the city. This job will be difficult. However, while growing up in Williston I learned to find solutions to complex problems that will provide a solution for today and the future.
CEE Luncheon
Two residents say Levy County has a litter problem and the county's Adopt-A-Road Program needs to be tweaked to make it easier for volunteers — many of them seniors — to help clean it up.
Long-time Williston resident Bobby C. Williams was killed last Friday morning in a two-car accident near Gainesville.
The intention was well-meaning but the overall ramifications weren't as the Williston City Council unanimously shot down a proposed ordinance that would limit yard sales within the city limits.
A 26-year-old man who was a bus driver for Vision Christian Academy in Raleigh was arrested on Jan. 27 and faces charges of lewd and lascivious behavior with a seventh grade student.
A tip to the Florida Department of Children and Families Abuse Hotline has resulted in the arrest of a Williston man on charges he rigged his home to record young girls as they came out of the shower, according to a Levy County Sheriff's Office press release.
By Clay Coleman
Contributing Writer
My name is Nancy Wininger. It is with excitement and humility that I announce my candidacy for Williston City Council. My husband, Larry and I moved to Williston 3 years ago. We chose Williston because of its charm and character, knowing it would be a great place to be.

Hi to all loyal patrons and customers of Quartz Acoustic,
we are hereby announcing a temporary but indefinite period away for revamp and reconstitution.
Despite Quartz Acoustic has always been operating on a secondary basis in addition to our day-job load over the past 2 years, we have been striving to provide quality products and services at economical pricepoint for the audiophile community at the mid-fi level. The support we garnered had been unwavering, coming not just from local Singaporeans, but extending far and wide globally even to countries like Slovakia and South Africa, to name a few.
Technology and Internet evolvement will alter the pace, methods and lifespans of businesses, especially this line of businesses conducted over E-Commerce. Our day jobs need another injection of energy, and so does Quartz Acoustic. Having one prioritise over the other is essential at this stage, so experiences in both acts could then be utilised over each other to result in maximum success for both.
Existing customers who have remaining warranty periods with us will continue to enjoy the guarantees, rest assured. We are still contactable at email@example.com and/or SMS/WhatsApp 9423 9296 for queries or just a say hi!
Till then, we will want to bring you more exciting and promising audiophile products and deals as soon as we can! Updates and annoucements will continuously be posted here and/or our Facebook account here.
Thanks fellas! And enjoy your music!
Best regards
02 April 2015

the photo of Janet Jackson "wardrobe malfunction" is removed due to DMCA take down notice from The Spacer Company
The letter they send to me is this:
I think it's totally bogus request, but i took down the photo to avoid hassle. You can find lots of it by Google Image search "janet jackson wardrobe malfunction".
Or see the photo from the Gardian article.〔Janet Jackson's Super Bowl 'wardrobe malfunction' may hit supreme court By Brian Braiker. @ http://www.theguardian.com/world/us-news-blog/2012/apr/18/janet-jackson-wardrobe-malfunction-supreme〕
Here's another account of the DMCA takedown of the photo. 〔Sorry Ms. Jackson… By Jenny Zhu. @ https://transparency.automattic.com/2014/09/01/sorry-ms-jackson/〕
In 2004 February, pop singer Janet Jackson made a breast-baring incident that caused a outrage in America. In one of the most watched yearly American TV prime time SuperBowl football match halftime entertainment (meaning, the resting period in a game, and in this period there's entertainment), broadcasted live, Janet in a performance with singer Justin Timberlake, where at the end as a punch-line Justin ripped the chest-plate off of a specially-designed costume to reveal Janet's right breast, whose nipple is decorated with a radiating sun jewelry. This incident generated a tumult in America all over media channels.
The show's makers CBS, MTV and associated organization NFL fiercely apologized and declared their unawareness and innocence. Scheduled shows in Hawai of Justin's singing group are promptly canceled. Rumors are flying about the ban of Janet and Justin in the coming Grammy Awards by CBS. (Janet has then announced she'll be absent.).
The American FCC (Federal Communication Commission, media watchdog) has received record-breaking 200000 complaints from viewers. FCC chairman Michael Powell said it was a "classless, crass and deplorable stunt". FCC is investigating whether this breached US government indecency guidelines. If so, it could fine CBS $27,500 for each of its affiliate stations which aired the show.
Janet Jackson herself made video official apology declaring the stunt went too far by accident. Justin also made official apology and statement that the incident is purely unintentional. (he coined the phrase "wardrobe malfunction"). CBS is putting more video-delays in future "live" broadcasts to prevent such incident.
Here are samples of news reports of the brouhaha:
Full detailed account and its aftermath, see Wikipedia: Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy.
2003 December: a 21-year old girl took photos of herself naked in a public bar, and placed the photo on her website. The police found the photo, and prosecuted her for violating local law. Harrington was to be arraigned in Lancaster County Court on Jan 29. If convicted, she faces a maximum penalty of six months in jail and a $500 fine.
Her name is Melissa J Harrington and her website is melissalincoln.com.
The source news from Associated Press can be seen at:
This series of photos may be the ones that the police used to persecute her: tit flash, tit flash 2, pussy flash 1, pussy flash 2. (if you have the original photos of these, please send to me.)
This woman is continuously persecuted by the local cops for her public nudity or otherwise sex related incidents. According to Melissa's website, cops have again ticketed her for public nudity and this time also ticketed her with public indecency. This could be a case of harassment. Her web site reporting this is at: http://www.melissamidwest.com/policevideo.html.

LATE September and early October is the hottest period in the educational calender for parents to look at potential independent school places, in the following academic year, for their child.
However, it's all to easy to be taken in by the glossy prospectus, whipped into a frenzy by the pizzazz and showmanship of the informal open day, or be overwhelmed by the prestige of a building and its surrounding areas. But is it what your child needs, or what you want for your child?
There is always going to be a spin with any open day. So before you visit a school and make a rash decision based on the school's past alumni. Take a look at your child, what would actually benefit their future? Does your child have natural abilities in the performing arts, music or sport? Or is he or she more academically focused? Some schools are more geared to vocational training and qualifications for later life? Or do you favour boarding school to create independence and provide your child with a wider outlook on life?
Focus on these and other very important assessments of your child as you flick through the prospectuses or click on the schools' websites.
Once you've made a decision about which school will benefit from your hard-earned cash and, more importantly, benefit your child, you need to arm yourself with a list of questions which will stem from your child's capabilities.
Most open days involve a tour from students, a talk from the headteacher, and a questions and answers session – so this is where your homework will come in handy.
When you arrive at the school for the open day, note your first impressions. Do you feel welcome? Does the school look well-maintained? Are the buildings new?
Speak to the headteacher and try to form an idea of the direction he or she is taking the school in and what plans they have.
For secondary schools, find out about entrance policy, and if prospective pupils have to sit an exam, ask to see a past paper. Talk with teachers from all departments. A rounded education is important, so try to judge the enthusiasm and character of all teachers, and find out more about pupils' performances in all subjects.
Sometimes, pupils' work displayed on the walls can give you an idea of what is being taught. Look at the equipment and facilities – for example lab equipment, computers, seats, desks, library and toilets – to ensure they are up to date.
Sports facilities should not be overlooked, as physical education is important to your child's development. Find out about what sports are offered, as well as the equipment available.
Does the school have its own playing fields or do pupils have to travel to take part in sports? Extra curricular activities are also important, so find out what activities are offered at lunchtime or in the evenings.
If you have work commitments which mean your child has to go to school early or go home late, is there a "breakfast club" or after school activities?
Find out what percentage of pupils stay on to sixth form, and how many of them go on to university, and to which universities.
Another way of getting to the heart of the school is to chat with the students. Sometimes pupils themselves help out on open days, so use the opportunity to ask them what they like and dislike about the school. Find out too what they hope to do when they leave school – this will help gauge the pupil's ambitions in life.
And remember, although on an open day it is the school that is on show, it's also just as important for you to make a good impression. This may well count in your favour when applying for a place at the school.
One final tip, don't take your child with you to open days, if you really like the school arrange with the headmaster for another time to return. This way you can come back with your child and judge their reaction to the school and its teachers – what you're looking for is an attitude of warmth, as well as authority, from the teachers who will be educating your child and more importantly, it will answer your questions about whether your child will be happy there.
Is the curriculum broad and well-balanced?
What are the class sizes?
How selective is the school academically and what is the current pass mark for the common entrance exam?
How does the school create a balance so that kids are successful but not too pressurised?
How long is the school day and what time will my child come home?
How much homework is there in each age group?
What are the plans for developing facilities at the school?
Would you send your own children here? (To heads/teachers) Is it fun? (To pupils - asking open questions is the best way to find out if children are happy here).
What is the school policy on bullying?
If you have any queries regarding the financial viability of the school, the bursar should be answer these – or check the school's accounts on the Charity Commission website www.charitycommission.org.uk

In defining $\overline{M_{g,n}}$, we say that an $S$-point of it is a nodal curve $X \to S$, and $n$ sections $s_i : S \to X$, $i = 1,\cdots, n$ and plus stability conditions. Implicitly, we are ordering these sections. What if we don't order them and take the following as definition. An $S$-point is a nodal curve $X \to S$ together with an effective relative Cartier divisor $D$ on $X$ of degree $n$, plus the same stability condition on each geometric fiber. What kind of moduli space shall we get with this definition? Is it just the usual $\overline{M_{g, n}}$ quotient by the order $n$ symmetric groups?
I believe the answer is yes, both if you think of stacks and coarse spaces. I don't understand Jason Starr's comment, but maybe I am missing something obvious.
To prove it on the level of stacks, the biggest difficulty is maybe sorting out the formalism. Let me try to spell out some details here.
Consider the functor $F$ which maps a scheme $S$ to the groupoid whose objects are $n$-pointed stable curves $(X,\sigma_1,...,\sigma_n)$ over $S$ and whose morphisms are pairs $(f,\pi)$ with $f : X \to X'$ an isomorphism over $S$ and $\pi \in \mathbb S_n$ a permutation, such that $f \circ \sigma_i = \sigma_{\pi(i)}'$ for all $i$. In other words $F(S)$ is the action groupoid of $\mathbb S_n$ acting on $\overline M_{g,n}(S)$. Then the stackification of $F$ is $[\overline M_{g,n}/\mathbb S_n]$.
Let $G$ be the functor you propose, $G(S)$ is the groupoid whose objects are pairs $(X,D)$ of a curve over $S$ and a relative effective multiplicity free Cartier divisor of degree $n$, satisfying the obvious stability condition. Morphisms are isomorphisms $f \colon X \to X'$ over $S$ with $f(D)=D'$.
There is a natural transformation $F \to G$ given by letting $D$ be the union of the scheme-theoretic images of the sections $\sigma_i$. Since $G$ is a stack we get an induced map from the stackification of $F$ to $G$. The crucial point in showing that this is an isomorphism is the following: pick $(X,D)$ in $G(S)$. Since $D \to S$ is finite étale, there is an open cover $S' \to S$ such that $D \times_S S' \to S'$ is trivial. Then the pullback of $(X,D)$ to $S'$ is in the essential image (in fact in the image) of $F(S') \to G(S')$.

This of course is notable because Mathews wasn't on Smackdown, because he was selling the kayfabe "injuries" he suffered at the hands of Kane and SummerSlam. This week's Smackdown broadcast team was Michael Cole and Teddy Long.

Secrets of Success
Piano Lessons and Weight Loss
Friday, October 25, 2013
The summer after I retired from teaching at a local high school, I began to take piano lessons again. I had taken piano lessons for a period during middle school, and then during a summer or two in my early 20s before my children were born. I played well enough to play for a church service occasionally. As I began to think about what I wanted to do in retirement, I knew that I wanted to expand my skills in this area so made arrangements to take lessons with a local piano teacher. It has now been four years. I have progressed from Book 2 to Book 6 in the series that I am in; this is from late beginner/early intermediate to advanced. I am by no means done - there is lots of music out there that I wish to explore!
I was thinking the other day about how my progress with my lessons is similar to my Sparkpeople health journey.
*I enjoy playing a piece well. Depending on the piece of music, I may have to practice a lot, or my sight reading skills are good enough that I may just need to run through the piece a couple of times. ~ I also enjoy having a "good" week on my Spark journey. I may have to watch really carefully my nutrition or my fitness minutes, or it may be a week where everything is second nature to me. I need to take this in stride and make the necessary adjustments. If I struggle with either the music or with my Spark journey, I have found that additional time spent will make a difference, and for my personality it usually needs to be in small increments. Practicing one page of a piece of music at a time and mastering it, or planning meals for just one day rather than a week, or walking an hour but doing it in 10 or 15 minute segments works very well for me.
*I can do everything "right" and not be successful in the moment. I can practice my music daily and still not play a piece perfectly at my lesson. I can track religiously and get all my wanted fitness minutes in and still not see a loss at the scale at a weigh-in. It does all come out okay in the end, though. That imperfection in my piano skills at th*at moment in time might not be apparent to anyone else but my teacher and me; that weigh-in may just be a fluke. And how many days do the scales show a great loss the next day after a weigh-in day? LOL
*Sometimes I can "get by" with minimal effort. My teacher comments almost every lesson about what a good sight reader I am, so sometimes I can practice minimally on a piece and it will be good at my next week's lesson anyway. I also have some "stand by" meals that I have found will help sometimes before a weigh-in.
*Sometimes I will have to put in more effort to get the results that I want. Prior to the past year of lessons, playing a piece with more than two sharps in the key signature was really hard for me. I am a "flat kind of gal" as far as music is concerned. However, in the past year I have become more more proficient with key signatures involving sharps. This is because of increased effort on my part. As far as my Spark journey, I am decently good at losing at the scale most of the time, but if I want to be stronger as well, I need to put in more effort and do strength training, etc, at it will take time.
I started my piano lessons a year before I began my Spark journey but I have enjoyed and will continue to enjoy both so much.

It makes me smile that you've found something that touches your heart & brings you pleasure! We all need these things that bring us JOY! Retirement is "me" time to enJOY the things we love! I am happy for you!
By the way, I'm returning that sewing machine I purchased (the Brother) & I'm gonna purchase a Baby Lock today from the quilt store. I do want to continue quilting so I'm gonna make the investment in a better machine. I hope you continue to make quilting part of your retirement enJOYment, also! It's nice to be "sisters in quilting"! Now that makes me smile!!!

Playing the piano is always something I would have loved to do.My Dad could play and sadly he did not teach any of us 4 older kids any of his skills...he waited till my baby brother ( 15 yrs younger than me ) came along....LOL
Thing was...we had no money for lessons etc... with 7 kids and my Dad the sole bread winner...But by the time my youngest brother came along...My dad got him into music lessons...and he became quite an accomplished electric guitar player & singer.
I AM PROUD of my younger brother & his band days...
I AM PROUD of you!

Tammy in Missouri,I had no clue you are blogging. I see your little emoticon and thought you were still very busy lady.
Now I know you are a busy blogging lady who plays the piano. I was a sight reader in fact I took music theory and I could write lttle melodies. We were getting prepared for a very big test so the instructor asked what instrument we will be playing. I told her that I had been doing piano as a child in someone eles's house so I have no instrument. She said you have a voice-use it.
As soon as that day concluded I dropped the class. I had three broken teeth knocked out when I was 9 and it looked ridiculous on a 15 years old girl.
I am so glad I found your blog HUGS Pat in Maine.

Thomson Cruises announces today that its 26,431-ton, 1200-passenger Thomson Emerald will be leaving the fleet at the end of October. Thomson has been chartering the vessel, owned by Louis Cruise Lines, since 1993.
At this point, the company, which said it was discharging Emerald because it's looking for more "more contemporary tonnage," has not yet said if it will purchase or lease another ship to fill its role. In the meantime it will redeploy another of its ships (Destiny or Spirit) from Palma to take over Emerald's itineraries.
As the line's longest serving ship, the Emerald has always been a firm favourite with repeat cruisers and is set to sail its last season of 7 and 14-night trips around the Eastern Mediterranean this summer.

"Shaliach Tzibur" Creative Worship Leader
While his music is often celebrated for its "sophistication and beauty" and his "melodies are accessible for a congregation of the smallest children through adults of all ages", truly nothing compares to the power of Noah's presence in a community. His engaging personality combined with his well-honed instincts towards meaningful worship allow congregants to connect and be uplifted in exciting new ways. Cantor Anna Ott of Anshe Emeth Temple in New Brunswick, NJ said it best: "Invite (Noah) to your synagogue and watch him work his magic."
Noah Aronson in Concert
Whether with his full band or playing solo, Noah's original music and engaging performance style is fresh and exciting. Noah's melodies are sung in Jewish communities around the world and are quickly becoming the 'norm' in many progressive synagogues. His concerts allow listeners to appreciate his music removed from a worship environment and will leave audiences of all ages feeling energized and wanting more.
