Nr. Melton Mowbray,
LE14 2EF, England.
Gemma Broad together with brother Stuart Broad and father Chris Broad, current and former international England cricketers, hosted the Broad Appeal Charity Golf Day and Dinner at Stapleford Park on Wednesday 11th July 2012.
The Broad Appeal was established by the three of them when Chris's wife Miche's personal battle with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) came to an end in July 2010. The Broad Appeal seeks to raise awareness about MND and funding research into this terminal disease.
The Broad Appeal successfully raised over £20,000 with the support from attendees like Mike Gatting (former English International cricketer), Geordan Murphy (Leicester Tigers Captain and Irish International rugby player), Matt Smith (Leicester Tigers player) and Jonathan Agnew (former English International cricketer and journalist).
"The sun shone on our golf day which proved to be a very successful event in the most wonderful surroundings. Stapleford Park have been terrifically supportive and many generous people enjoyed a dinner in the Grand Hall after the golf event. We must say a huge thank you to all those who took part, golfers, diners and the event's sponsors, who together with some amazing donators helped us achieve a figure way beyond our expectations" commented Nick Joyce, Event Organiser.
If you would still like to donate online to the Broad Appeal, please visit www.thebroadappeal.org.

The Taco Stand serves a tasty cheese dip. The dip is mild, but with a faint taste of peppers. It is served with standard restaurant-style tortilla chips and a side order of salsa.
The ground beef and cheese nachos are average as far as taste, but you'll be blown away by the generous serving.
The restaurant's namesake is nothing to brag about because the tacos are much too salty.
On a positive note, The Taco Stand is dirt cheap. It's not hard to understand why the restaurant has three locations in the small college town of Athens. The menu is filled with value meals, which is probably satisfying to UGA students.
Of the advertised value meals, none of them is over $8. Most meals include a taco or burrito or quesadilla served with rice, beans, and/or chips.

Booji Grass
September 1, 2008 |
Post to the Host:
Could you please tell me what booji grass is? I'm playing Dionysus in a segment from your "The Midlife Crisis of Dionysus" for an acting class my wife and I are taking. Dionysus dreams of being chased through the booji grass. I Googled "booji grass" and the one and only result was another piece you wrote for APHC. The APHC use of booji grass also placed it in a dream.
I believe that booji grass is a tall sharp-bladed grass you find in dreams. You are running through it and it slows you down and wears you out. It doesn't part easily as grass should. It is clingy and perhaps damp and has spider webs in it and after awhile you simply give up and lie down and die, or you would, except nobody wants to lie down in booji grass. So you slog on and on until you come to the cougars, or the desert, or the jagged rocks, or something else.

What are your views on the Sony VGN-NW11Z/T please.
Looks like a really nice laptop. I've never heard any complaints for people buying VAIO's- I prefer toshibas myself if I'm buying a windows computer.
I wouldn't be doin' my job if I didn't say.. have you considered a mac?!
Thanks Josh I'm not buying it but it is being offered as a replacement for Jacks damaged laptop by my insurance company.Don't think they'd run to a Mac!
Do you have the name and model of your last one?
Yes it's an Advent 5401 which we bought especially for the FireWire connection.We were offered a compaq presario with the new windows 7 thing but no FireWire so I turned it down.
ive heard bad reports on sonys wouldnt buy one
im a huge fan of toshibas and they are so much cheaper than sonys too
t ask ins if you can add to it and get a mac :)
my friends sony viao has lasted years :yes:
ive heard of ppl when something goes wrong the are murder to get fixed they try to wriggle out of it and they are sometimes double what other makes are, just paying for the brand stupid reallyQuote:

Man with CCH permit kills 4 on the beach claiming self-defense.
News are having a field-day with him, surprisingly people are siding with him.
He is expected to have a talk with the DA today at 5pm local.
I found this link to the story:
Need to wait for more info on this one!
WOW, a lot going on there but little info. I'll wait also.
Here's a very roughly translated (by Google) of one of PR's main newspapers, El Nuevo Dia: http://translate.google.com/translat...D%26ie%3DUTF-8
This link might not last longer than 24 hours since it's the main page for El Nuevo Dia.
CCW permit holder has been in to the DA's office two days in a row, and still not a formal charge against him – DA has not yet decided if the CCW permit holder will be charged with Murder 1, Murder 2 or Manslaughter.
Event has become a hot-button issue throughout the island, with radio talk shows / E-news commenting about the need for people to be legally armed / carry or not.
Most of people still say it's a good shoot and that the DAs office will have a hard time finding a jury to convict the CCW permit holder.
I'm not surprised that many in PR are siding with the guy........the crime there has many fed up; I was there recently visiting my hospitalized mother and carried my issue P229 everywhere while off-duty.
Today the CCH permit holder was charged with 4 counts of Murder 1 and an unspecified "firearms law violation" charge.
An arrest warrant was issued and bail was set at $350,000.
Charges were made "in absentia" by order of the Commonwealth's DOJ Secretary.
On an unrelated event the island's Police Superintendent is now talking about reviewing the files of those with firearms licences and revoking them (the licences) if pertinent.
Not good :frown:
Still don't feel I have a full handle on the case but heck - they seem to want to crucify him.
This also sucks - bit like UK Gov using an event as all the excuse they needed to clamp down.Quote:
On an unrelated event the island's Police Superintendent is now talking about reviewing the files of those with firearms licences and revoking them (the licences) if pertinent.
Did he shoot two in the front and the other two in the back? Well until the whole story is out we won't know what really happened.
Various versions are coming up through the media; the most common one being the CCH permit holder killed all 4 inside a moving car after the vehicle's occupants opened fire on the permit holder's daughter. This all happened on a secluded, but jam packed beach (it was a local holiday), and again no one saw anything – only the permit holder's family is making statements.
The permit holder is a business owner; the 4 on the car are young guys (age 18-22 I think) with rap sheets, who the media says had beaten the permit holder in front of his residence on a previous altercation, as the police report the permit holder filled out stated. The DA says there is enough evidence to charge him as the wounds of the 4 killed were defensive in nature and there was no gunpowder residue from the illegal weapon found inside the car.
Can't really tell you how this story is going to end; there's just not a lot of accurate info flowing relating to the case.
To make things worst for CCH permit holders, a big drug dealer was murdered recently and had some members of the legislature inquire about his health while he was at the ER. The media picked up this lead and found the drug dealer was issued a CCH permit even though he didn't qualify for it on the first place. The way the story is presented promotes the idea that CCH permit holders may have gotten their permits illegally.
Update - the guy on the above posts was charged with 4 counts of murder, bail was set and hearings already started. Theres a break for Xmas.
Dec 30, 2006 - 62 year old man that sells state's lottery tickets shot 1 perp of the three that attacked him at 6am when he was leaving his residence. Man was robed several times before, so requested a firearms license with the carry endorsement, got approved by the local courts, then used it to defend himself. Suspect that was shot is stable and in custody; 62 y/o man has not been charged by the DA at this time.
Any criminal with half a brain knows those lottery vendors carry lots of cash after just even a couple of hours of being out in the street.
I do know that Puerto Rico is not a very nice place, at least not like it used to be...I have friends from there...a lot of the problems there, are freely moving to FL (lots to Orlando)...stay tuned for more trouble...

In June I will be moving for the first time and assuming an array of new duties as I transition from being an associate pastor to a lead pastor. So in lieu of this transition, I've decided to focus a project I have for a young clergy leadership group on the topic of moving well. I'm calling the next few blog posts In Transition and I will focus on a few things I'm working through as I transition between churches in a few weeks. My hope is to not only grow personally and vocationally as I move, but I hope this series will help generate discussion for others who might also be moving.
What Do I Do About My Facebook Friends When I Leave for a New Appointment?
We live in an Internet-driven age. There's no denying it. And since we can't wish ourselves back to simpler times when Methodist pastors could pack up all of their belongings in a station wagon to move, we have to deal with the complexities of itinerant ministry that now extend not only to challenges of family and spouses who work, but also to lives we live online through social media.
Before I begin, I want to point you to a couple of excellent posts by my friend, Rev. Jeremy Smith. Jeremy is a tech nerd in the very best sense of the phrase. He offers some great technical advice on how to go about making changes to your Facebook account as you move from one church to another. This most recent post is an update from previous posts where he addressed the issue. Read Jeremy's work for details on healthy choices you can make to smoothly transition between churches via social media.
Instead of getting into the technical details, I want to offer you my personal philosophy and the reasoning behind it. You might not agree with me and that's fine. But this is my philosophy and maybe it will help you better solidify your own as you move now to sometime in the future.
Keep Your Friends While Keeping a Healthy Distance
There are some pastors, DSs, or bishops who would argue that when you leave a church, you need to truly leave it. And that means un-friending people in the process. I've known many Methodist pastors who have used this philosophy to set up boundaries from day 1 in a new appointment. When you know you'll leave one day, why bother becoming friends with people? After all, you're their pastor and not their friend. It's about the office of pastor, right? Well yes and no.
One of the primary roles of pastors is to establish relationships with people. Yes, we're there to be your pastor. But there's nothing wrong with also being a friend. Personally I find it incredibly unhealthy for pastors to keep a distance between themselves and parishioners in the name of respecting an office. As leaders we need to develop the self-awareness to know where the office ends and where we as people begin. Too many of us see ourselves as pastors only and we forget how to take off the mask and just be ourselves. As a result, we isolate ourselves (and maybe even our families) in a lonely life where we are void of many meaningful relationships. You can, in fact, be friends with church members. You will not break the church or the office of pastor if you become friends with people — so long as you develop the maturity to know certain boundaries and can become aware of how to be sensitive in the gray areas where life and ministry get messy.
A friend recently pointed me to the book Networked where the authors note that a major misconception people have about social media is that we see it as a tool when it's really a place. It's a place where people go to see others and to share their lives (even though it's most often the best projection of their life). To say that a pastor should just unfriend people from their previous appointment is just nonsense. If I'm in a restaurant and I run into a former church member, am I going to turn and run away as though I don't know that person? Of course not. I'll stop, say hello, and maybe ask them about their family. I will not, however, ask them about my former church and how the new pastor is doing there. That's none of my business because I'm gone when it comes to the ministry of that church. That doesn't mean I don't continue to care about how people are doing, how their families are growing and succeeding, or how they're struggling at any given moment. It simply means that I need to exercise the self-control to not be their pastor once I've moved — and that is a gray area for many of us.
My Facebook Policy
So what exactly will change about my relationships with people on Facebook? Here are two ways I plan to change my social media relationship with Mulberry members as of June 11 when I become the pastor of Aldersagate UMC in Savannah:
In addition to this, I will offer my page for my blog as a great spot to keep up with my writing. I use this page to promote articles and columns I write and I encourage people to engage with it.
Ministry is messy business. It's complicated because pastors do not just offer religious or goods, we share life with people. And that's beautiful. But this also makes moving from one church to another a bit complicated. Upcoming posts will try to deal with other issues of leadership in transition.
So what do you find as good practices for social media when you move from one church to another? How do you avoid unhealthy practices while keeping the integrity of a pastoral ministry that fully invests in loving people?

Razor and skin are hardly friends. This indecently rich, non-lathering shave cream is the first-of-its-kind to contain a patent-pending ingredient complex to protect and care for the beard area.
Traditional foams can strip the skin of natural oils leaving it feeling tight, dry and irritated. Amenity Shave Cream ensures that the blades (all five of them in some cases) comfortably glide over bumps and other beard area irregularities on your face.
Shave Cream is the second product in the Amenity healthy skin daily system (wash, shave, and moisturize). This cream keeps skin moisturized and clear while helping to prevent razor burn, redness and ingrown hairs. Although it appears to rinse off completely, optimal levels of active ingredients remain on the skin to reinforce the system?s effectiveness against signs of aging.
Contains PRO-FORM 6, a patent-pending ingredient complex developed specifically
for men's skin.
Directions: For best results, shave during or immediately after a warm shower. Warm water helps to soften the beard/hair stubble on the face and neck. Squirt a cherry-sized amount of aMENity shave cream onto the finger tips and spread/massage over the area to be shaved. Wait 30-60 seconds for pre-shave skin conditioning to occur before shaving. Shave slowly and gently with the grain, using short strokes, and rinse razor after each stroke to avoid clogging the blades. Going against the direction of hair growth can cause irritation and painful, ingrown hairs. When you are done, splash your face with cold water to close the pores and minimize inflammation. Pat your face dry with a clean hand towel and follow with Amenity After Shave & Face Moisturizer.
Net Weight: 5.5 oz.
Disclaimer: Ingredients are subject to change at the manufacturer's discretion. For the most complete and up-to-date list of ingredients, please refer to the product packaging.

Kenny Barron & Lionel Loueke: Duet
Kenny Barron (piano) and Lionel Loueke (guitar)
The Traveler (Sunnyside 3079)
Kenny Barron (piano), Lionel Loueke (guitar).
Composed by Kenny Barron & Lionel Loueke.
Recorded: New York, December 12-13, 2007
Rating: 92/100 (learn more)
Here is a different side to Kenny Barron, edgy and unpredictable. The music sounds completely improvised, and almost as if the engineer left the microphone on while the pianist and guitarist were amusing themselves after the session was over. Loueke is pushed out of his happy-world-music-and-jazz bag, and into turbulent, uncharted waters. He manages to stay afloat, but Barron doesn't make it easy for him. The keyboard comping is closer to Cecil Taylor than Herbie Hancock, and the voicings are scratchy irritants meant to prod rather than support. Then roles are reversed, and Barron tries to glide over Loueke's prickly accompaniment. This is more like a boxing match than a jazz duet, but it will get your adrenaline pumping.

To build your own career by expanding your team's ability to meet goals and objectives, develop your coaching skills!
Managing motivates employees with extrinsic rewards, benefits and consequences. Coaching, on the other hand, involves uncovering an employee's strengths and weaknesses. Using the GROW model, you help another person set Goals, understand current Reality, overcome Obstacles and find the Way forward. Coaching starts with a conversation. Good coaches know how to use active listening skills and ask open ended questions that encourage an employee to think about her actions. Document this conversation to set expectations. By observing the employee on the job, you can establish the current reality and then later, privately, brainstorm potential paths to improvement.
Your objectives should include unleashing untapped potential, finding better ways of doing things enhancing skills, capturing great ideas and solving complex problems. Coaching isn't nagging or telling people what to do. It involves listening and asking questions that get employees to reflect on their own behavior to further their own career.
Managing involves performance assessment that review activities completed. Coaching, on the other hand, focuses on future behavior. Coaching is a mindset shift. You may want to consider establishing HARD goals: Heartfelt, Animated, Required and Difficult. Coaches add value to conversations with employees by helping them take abstract goals and break them down into small activities they can work on every day. Learning is an important component of coaching. Acquiring knowledge through attending a seminar is a good start, but there is no magical transformation. Employees have to try out new techniques and gain experience to develop their skills.
Good coaches re-frame negative situations, so they seem more positive. This enables the employee to recognize their strengths. Using the FIRE model, you can show people how to differentiate the Facts from the Interpretations, Reactions and Ends. Treat every coaching opportunity as a way to unlock potential and get them through challenging, difficult tasks. It also allows you to debunk irrational, limiting beliefs and thoughts that hold people back.

As far as I`m concerned, the biggest controversy of the event was the fact that an event sponsored by Budweiser could have no beer served at the venue! Furthermore, by the time I discovered where the complimentary beer was for sponsors, they were dry.

Eating to Live on the Outside: End of the Line Café
Holy Saturday Batman! And thank goodness for the weekend. I have been working my tail off. Anyway, time for Eating to Live on the Outside. This week I'm taking a "trip" to Florida, to grab a snack at End of Line Café and let's just say. It's iffy at best.
The main problem is all the fake vegan meats and cheeses. That stuff is basically junk food. So it's hard to rave about End of the Line, but I'm a trooper. Here's a preliminary list of things I might talk myself into ordering:
Chef Salad
- Green leaf lettuce, Roma tomatoes, red onions, croutons, mozzarella, cheddar, tempeh, tofu bacon capers, peperoncini peppers and house made vegan dill ranch dressing; I'm alright with the croutons, but I'd ditch the faux cheese, capers, tempeh and get the dressing on the side.
Grilled Tofu & Hummus Pita
- Marinated grilled tofu, hummus, pita, lettuce, tomato grilled onions and tahini sauce; not too bad, I'm not worried about the bread.
Taco Salad
- Flour taco bowl, spicy veggie taco meat, black beans, salsa, red onions, lettuce, black olives, sour cream and cheddar; oh boy, I'd nix the fake meat, sour cream and cheddar.
Mushroom Steaks Meal
- Pumpkin soup, mushroom steaks, caramelized mashed potatoes, Béarnaise sauce, spring salad with parmesan dressing, house made garlic bread, broccoli Au Gratin and blueberry cobbler; well, provided the soup isn't salty its okay, dressing on the side, no sauce, I'd ditch the Au Gratin on the broccoli and I'm cool with the cobbler.
Eggplant Zucchini and Grilled Tofu Napoleon
- Tomato-dill bisque, eggplant, zucchini and grilled tofu napoleon, shiraz-beet reduction sauce over pecan, raisin and shitake pilaf, grilled Corn with smoked paprika butter, collard greens, spring salad and green tea cake; no smoked butter concoction for me.
Tofu & Red Pepper Fajitas
- Tortilla soup, tofu, red pepper fajitas, refried beans, avocado, Pico de Gallo, sour cream, lettuce, cheese spring salad with mango salsa dressing El Paso beans and rice; okay, I'm dropping the sour cream and cheese on the salad and I'll deal with the refried beans.
Mousakka Meal
- Lentil vegetable soup, Mousakka, rice pilaf stuffed acorn squash, Greek salad with tofu, Feta, pita with roasted red pepper hummus and almond cake with fresh local blackberries; I'd pass on the Feta.
Wow! Despite being a vegan joint, which usually is a good sign, End of the Line is pretty rough, too many faux meats and cheese and other vegan junk food. If I had to pick something, I'd go with the most basic thing, the Chef Salad.
It looks like End of the Line is run by young people, so I'm pulling for them, but I can't say I'd eat there. How about you? Maybe you like it. Whether you do or not, check out End of Line Café's menu and let me know what you'd order. Peace.

Salisbury steak is one of those recipes families love to fix for dinner. This recipe is a no-fuss type meal that is home cooked, comforting and very easy to prepare. In no time at all you will be serving up meat, vegetables and a side of egg noodles with gravy the whole family will enjoy. Dinner without stressing is the way to set up a menu for the evening and when you serve Salisbury steak with the trimmings it is just that, a delicious meal without a lot of prep work, ingredients or time spent in the kitchen which leaves you more time to enjoy your family or just relax once dinner is over.
- 1 pound of ground chuck
- ¼ cup of onion, chopped fine
- 3 tablespoons of bread crumbs
- ¼ teaspoon of salt
- ¼ teaspoon of pepper
- 1 (8 ounce) package of fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
- 1 ¾ cups of beef broth
- 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons of water
- 1 tablespoon of cornstarch
- Mix together the beef, chopped onion, bread crumbs, salt and pepper and form four beef patties.
- Then in a large frying pan cook the patties over a medium heat for 5 minutes per side.
- Remove the patties from the pan and set aside.
- Drain the frying pan but leave about 1 tablespoon of the drippings from the beef in the pan.
- Now cook the mushrooms and onion rings in the same pan with the drippings until the onions and mushrooms are tender.
- Add in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce and stir.
- Place the cooked patties back into the frying pan and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Once the liquid comes to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and let it all cook for 15 minutes.
- While the Salisbury steaks are simmering put on a pot of water and then cook-up some egg noodles and a vegetable the family enjoys.
- When the noodles are done, drain them and place them on a large platter.
- Now remove the beef patties from the frying pan and set them upon the noodles.
- In a small bowl stir together the water and cornstarch and mix it in to the mushroom broth in the frying pan.
- Turn the heat up to a medium-high and allow it to come to a boil. This should take 1 minute and let it cook for an additional minute to thicken while stirring the gravy as it cooks.
- Pour the gravy and mushrooms over the patties and serve while hot.
- Enjoy!

I've found David Weinberger's recent posts from the Politics Online Conference really interesting. All day today he's been feverishly blogging the various goings on, including presentations from Ken Mehlman of the Bush campaign, Joe Trippi and lots of others. I think it provides an interesting snapshot of how the world of poilitics views the Web, weblogs, online communities and all. David's snarky comments are funny too.
For what it's worth, RSS is the *only* reason I can keep up with things like this.

Delphi Museum is considered the third most important Archaeological Museum of local reference in Greece, along with the Acropolis and the Heraklion Museum. Delphi Museum attracts the visitors as it presents the findings and artifacts in association and reference with the actual site and its political and religious role.
Delphi Museum was originally built in 1903 based on the architectural plan made by French Architect Tournaire, but the building was too small and merged with a larger one built in 1938. New rooms and sectors were added in 1974, while recently there was a full restoration of the interior of the Museum and enhancement of the technological equipment used in the museum. The project was launched and managed by the Ministry of Culture in an effort to optimize conditions of preservation of the ancient findings and statues housed in the museum.
The Archaeological Museum of Delphi is dynamically built in the Sanctuary and features 13 rooms, all on the ground floor, that house some of the most important sculptures of the Antiquity, from the Archaic, Classic and Hellenistic Era, including the infamous Omphalos (Navel of the World), the Sphinx of Naxos, the Statue of Antinoos, the fragments and friezes of the Metopes of the Athenian Treasury, the head of Dionysus, two statues of Kouros named Kleovis and Viton (also known as Dioskouri or Twins of Argos) and above all, the renowned Eniochos of Delphi, the Charioteer of Delphi.
How to get to the Delphi Museum
Approaching the Delphi Museum from the archaeological site you will walk on a small path that stretches along several relics and tombs of the antiquity. Just before the entrance of the museum you can admire an impressive mosaic, which you can also admire from a particular viewing room just up the stairs of the museum.
Inside the Delphi Museum
The first room of the Delphi museum features the Delphic Tripod, used by the Oracle when communicating with God Apollo. There are also some pieces of armory in the room, mostly shields of immense size, which were actually used in the ancient years in Greece.
The Twins Kleovis and Viton are situated among other artifacts in the next rooms, but they cannot be missed, due to their size; the Twins of Argos or Dioskouri, as they are known, peer down all visitors who stand across them. They date back to the 6th century BC, at the transitional time between the Dedalic to Archaic Art.
The impressive collections of jewelries, items used by Pythia and the friezes depicting scenes from the Greek Mythology dominate the rooms of the Delphi Museum, while the room of the Athenian Treasury features the Navel of the World, the actual rock that was placed at the Sanctuary, at the exact spot considered the Center of the Antique World. The absolute protagonist of the museum is, though, the Charioteer of Delphi, the statue of [intlink id="20″ type="post"]Eniochos[/intlink], who occupies one room on his own.
Leaving the Delphi Museum
Leaving the room of Eniochos, you will walk towards the exit where you can find a large scale model depicting the archaeological site of Delphi as a whole and how it looked. The purpose is to trace the tour within the site, picturing it as the most sacred place of Ancient Greece.

Okay, we have all been there. You arrive at the sun deck nice and early to get a perfect spot to relax and catch some rays. Then you find it is full -- and not just with people, but with a mass of empty beds with towels across them.
Well, the Captain of P&O Cruises' 77,000-ton 2,016-passenger Oceana is reportedly facing an inquiry after accusing passengers (over a loudspeaker) who reserved towels as displaying "Germanic behaviour."
According to a report on today's Telegraph, Captain Christopher Wells now faces an inquiry by the Equality and Human Rights Commission as to whether his remarks were racist. The row is said to have begun a few days into the 15 day Caribbean cruise when passengers began reserving beds.
The Telegraph reports: "One female passenger said the crew had tried unsuccessfully to put a stop to the 'bed bagging'. She said: 'There were enough loungers for everyone, provided they were not reserved when not in use. Crew members did their best, sometimes removing the towels, which were P&O property, but then passengers reserved the sunbeds with their own items.'
"The grumbles came to the captain's attention and he tried to defuse the situation by allowing passengers to reclaim sunbeds which had remained unused for 20 minutes. However, that only led to more confrontation when some holidaymakers used stopwatches to monitor how long beds were unoccupied. The female passenger, who asked not to be named, said: 'This led to heated arguments and complaints -- some people nearly came to blows.'"
In an official statement, P&O Cruises says that "Captain Wells apologises unreservedly for any offence caused. We have more than enough sunbeds onboard and there should be no need to reserve them in advance."
German Maren Reichel, who is the assistant administration manager onboard Oceana, is also quoted as saying: "I did not take any offence to Captain Wells' remark, it was said in jest and I and other passengers found it amusing."
So what do you think? Are you fed up with not getting a spot? Should there be a fairer system or even a time limit on empty loungers? Check out Members Speak Out: Deck Chairs to see what your fellow cruisers had to say in a recent poll, then e-mail us your opinion (please put "Sunbeds" in the subject line)!

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Richard Fairfax, U.S. Department of Labor deputy assistant secretary, will be a presenter during March's Textile Rental Services Association (TRSA) Leadership & Legislative Conference in Washington.
Fairfax oversees the enforcement and construction directorates for the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). In his previous post as OSHA's enforcement programs director, he offered opinions on various safety regulations of interest to the textile services industry, in particular, those dealing with bloodborne pathogens and lockout/tagout.
His March 28 presentation comes as OSHA increases fines, as the average levy per serious violation has risen from $1,050 to $2,200 in the agency's last two fiscal years. OSHA also is moving forward with its Injury and Illness Prevention Program (I2P2), an initiative that could see businesses revamping safety and health efforts.
Fairfax is expected to update attendees on the I2P2 process as well as other key rulemakings, including those related to noise control, musculoskeletal disorders, combustible dust, ergonomics, chemical exposure, the agency's enforcement procedures and more.
To learn more about the conference, visit TRSA's website.

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 on a Compaq evoD500.
My computer randomly loses connection while the other computers in the house are still connected, so I know the problem is specific to my box. The other boxes are running windows XP.
I think Network Manager might be the problem and would like to try wicd, but I'm concerned that I might not be able to revert back to Network Manager if I need to.
Let me know if more info is needed. Thanks.

I don't know about you, but I am getting ready for gardening, and not just ordinary chemical infused gardening, but organic gardening. And again, not just chemical free organic gardening, but chemical free, raised organic gardening. Okay, if I haven't confused you already, keep reading.
Sometimes no matter how hard we try to make our vegetable gardens organic, something sticks its ugly chemical based or treated head up and makes us say, "Oh No!" Using wooden pallets in the construction of raised gardens can pose a potentially hazardous situation for the gardener, and others that consume the food grown in these chemically treated pallets, which are used for the raised gardens. But, there is a solution to this. I find that most of the pallets that I see are either "heat treated" or "chemical treated." I stay away from chemical treated pallets and pallets that appear to have spilled residue from containers on them.
I am sure you are asking, how can you tell the heat treated from the chemical treated. If the manufacturer followed proper standards, you will find the pallets stamped with "HT" for heat treated, or "MB" for pallets that are chemically treated with Methyl Bromide.
Sometimes you will find pallets with other markings, or none at all. I stay away from these also. Check out the slideshow in this article, which shows labeled pallets, and join me next time when I will begin constructing my raised pallet garden on concrete blocks.
Until next time, "Lets grow chemical free, and live healthy."

College Hockey:Spartans Rebound Against New Hampshire
51-Shot Outburst Calms Wildcats
EAST LANSING, Mich. — After a Friday loss to unranked St. Lawrence in which Michigan State had trouble getting the puck to the net, the Spartans dominated the scoreboard on Sunday, besting eighth-ranked New Hampshire by a 5-1 score.
From start to finish, MSU (1-1-0) used a strong cycle to keep the play in UNH's (2-1-1) zone and create scoring chances. The end result was a game that saw a speedy Wildcat team look tired and hesitant while the Spartans registered 51 shots and five goals.
"They moved the puck very well," said New Hampshire coach Dick Umile. "5-on-5 we had a very difficult time handling them; they executed very well."
New Hampshire could attribute part of the loss to another slow start. After giving up the first goal to Michigan the other night, the Wildcats rallied in the second to take the lead. Sunday was a different story, as the Spartans piled up the goals after building a 2-0 lead.
"The first period of these two games, we really got outshot and didn't play very well," said Umile. "I'm disappointed with the way we played today, not taking anything away from the way Michigan State played. We weren't ready to go; we had no legs and it was disappointing."
"The officiating was more like old-time hockey … Not that I disagree with it, but there were very few power plays and I think that helped us," said Spartan coach Rick Comley. "[The flow] helped us to get everyone involved early."
"It's a tough game to be a defenseman in right now," said Comley. "You can't use your stick defensively. To protect [against] outside speed is almost impossible. They have a couple defensemen who had a tough time with our forwards going wide on them."
One of those speedy forwards who exploited the perimeter of UNH's defense with speed was MSU's Colton Fretter. A healthy scratch on Friday, Fretter cracked the lineup on Sunday and made the most of his opportunity. The junior forward paced Michigan State's high-octane offense, notching two goals including the game-winner.
"He got a chance to play tonight and obviously earned [the right] to play next Friday," said Comley. "You want people competing with each other; that makes the hockey team better. Goals like that give us a big boost."
Youth was served on Sunday as the Spartans saw two freshmen score their first collegiate goals. Bryan Lerg helped to put things away for good in the second period, scoring an extra-attacker goal on a delayed penalty to put State up 3-0. Jim McKenzie added the fourth, beating Wildcat goaltender Kevin Regan off the draw.
Regan, a freshman in his second career start, played strongly despite surrendering the five Spartan goals.
"I thought he played great. He was left out to dry, out there by himself. Except for the one that bounced off his glove, he hung right in there and made some great saves," said Umile.
The Wildcats broke up Dominic Vicari's bid for a shutout midway through the third period. On the back end of a 5-on-3 power play, Brian Yandle fired a nifty diagonal pass to the far post, leaving Brett Hemingway with a tap-in for UNH's lone goal of the game.
Vicari made 30 saves on 31 shots for the victory, several to protect the early Spartan lead.
Captain Jim Slater got the ball rolling for Michigan State, notching a power-play goal eight minutes into the first period. Linemate Mike Lalonde collected the puck on the right-side boards and fed to Tommy Goebel on the goal line. Goebel threaded the needle with a centering pass to Slater, who tipped it past Regan for a 1-0 lead.
The power-play tally was the first for Slater and the Spartans, who had gone 0-for-11 to start the season. Fretter's second goal was also on the man advantage, leaving the Spartans 2-for-4.

Guide: How to do a hard reset on the HTC Sensation XE
In this guide we'll explain how you can do a factory reset on your HTC Sensation XE
If your phone has a serious problem, or you want to sell it on, you can perform a factory reset (also called a hard reset) to wipe the device.
Factory resets shouldn't be taken lightly as performing one will permanently delete all your data and customized settings, any applications you've downloaded and installed will be removed. Be sure to back up any data and files you want to keep before you do a factory reset.
Performing a factory reset via settings
The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the settings.
- From the Home screen, press the 'Menu' key.
- Tap 'Settings'.
- Tap 'SD & Phone Storage'.
- Tap 'Factory Data Reset'.
- Tap 'Reset Phone'.
- Press 'Erase Everything' to confirm.
Performing a factory reset using hardware buttons
If you can't turn your HTC Sensation XE on or access the settings, you can still perform a factory reset by using the hardware buttons on the device.
- Remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, then re-insert the battery.
- Press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly press the POWER button.
- Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release the VOLUME DOWN button.
- Press VOLUME DOWN to select FACTORY RESET, and then press the POWER button.

A 26-year-old man was arrested Wednesday in connection with last year's deadly shooting of an aspiring rapper.
Police have said the shooting stemmed from an argument, but it was still unclear Thursday what led to the dispute.
Mr. Alonzo Ross was charged with murder and transported to the Fulton County jail where he remained without bond Thursday, according to Atlanta police.
Shortly after 3 a.m. on Nov. 2. officers received a call about a person shot at 497 Norfolk St. in northwest Atlanta, police spokeswoman Officer Kim Jones said.
When officers arrived they found Mr. Sammy Gantt with a gunshot wound in the chest, police said.
The 22-year-old was transported to Grady Memorial Hospital but died a short time after arrival, Officer Jones said.
Investigators said Mr. Gantt was actually shot in the street at 516 Norfolk St.
"It appears that the shooting incident is related to a dispute that took place earlier at 1045 Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway between GANTT and a subject known as 'TAY,'" Officer Jones said.

I am at the doctor's office filling out the standard paperwork. It's been a year since my last mammogram. I scan the list of every horrendous ailment. "No," I check to burning, itching, psychiatric disorders. "No" to cancer, diabetes, heart disease and enlarged prostate. I pause, however, at the question: "Any changes to your breasts?"
"Yes," I write. "Apparently someone let the air out of them, and they don't get enough attention."
"Vision?" "Stolen around the same time my breasts were deflated."
"Mouth or oral changes?" "Shit, yes, I swear like a sailor and I can store enough food in my recessed gums to open a food bank."
The doctor swaggers in. He is an alarmingly handsome newbie, not the overweight-bespectacled female physician I am accustomed to seeing. I scramble to erase my comment about my under-attended-to-deflated breasts, but the eraser's gone flat and only smudges the page.
"Let's see here," he says taking my clipboard. "Dr. Katz is on leave and I've come into the practice. I'm Dr…."
"Hottie-good-looking?" I blurt out. "I'm sorry, it's the CCMMS" I say.
"What?" He blushes.
I direct him to the last line of my paperwork hoping he'll pass over the breast remark. Reason For Visit: Can't Control My Mouth Syndrome (CCMMS).
"Heh heh," he chuckles.
"No, seriously, I can't control my mouth."
"Mrs. Tanzman? Mrs. Tanzman?"
A tech assistant has come through the door and I am snapped back to reality. I am not sitting in Dr. Hottie's office, but in fact, in the waiting room at the Long Beach Memorial Breast Center cloaked in what only could be called a peek-a boob robe. The gown, if one is lucky, ties in the front at the neck and not again until the thigh. This is meant to dupe one into thinking that if both strings were tied one would not be flashing one's boobs to every passerby (which one does).
I didn't get a lucky robe. I am held together with one set of strings and one pair of hands.
"Come this way." says Rita the tech. "We need to get more films."
I was here last week for my annual mammogram and the center called two days later.
"Mrs. Tanzman, this is the Long Beach Memorial Breast Center."
"I guess you're not calling to say I've won a fruit basket?"
"Uh no, we found a little spot that we'd like to magnify and get an ultrasound on."
So here I go off to sandwich these semi-deflated breasts in the machine I'm sure has the potential to catapult my nipple across the room. After about eight more films we head to the ultrasound suite where the slightly overweight, bespectacled female physician finally meets me.
How pathetic am I that have fabricated this whole Dr. Hottie thing in order to cope with what is now being called a "mass" in my right breast? Upon hearing the word "mass" I feel the urge to run to the nearest pew and drop to my knees.
"You think it's that ominous word 'mass,' I blurt out, "or a just a Catholic-free-association-thing that's got me feeling like I should start praying?" This CCMMS moment goes completely unnoticed because the doctor is busy squishing gel and running her ultrasound wand over me like those beachcomber guys zig-zagging the sand with their metal detectors. "There it is!" she exclaims as if she's found the mother lode.
"I'd like to do a needle biopsy if you're up for it? We'll insert a tiny metal BB to tag the tissue. Don't worry, it won't set off any airport alarms."

I don't think we are getting the whole story here. 3 men tried to rob him and he managed to get to his car and grab a gun? If all is legit, I am glad it turned out this way. I love it when the good guys win.

"I mean I wish all guns would go away but thats not gonna happen," said neighbor Mark Arms, who heard the gunshots this morning. "So Im glad the guy had a gun and was able to protect himself you know."This guys got some bad luck.. held up at the same location three weeks ago. Glad he's alright and didn't end up shot (with his own gun).Police say the other two suspects continued to struggle with the victim, took his gun away and fled on foot.

The neighbor said "I wish all guns would go away." Obviously spoken by someone who has never been stabbed. I don't want to repeat that experience and I got off easy!
Good for the guy who thwarted the attack he obviously learned from his experience

Assistant District Attorney Andi Dorfman was a standout on Juan Pablo's season. The smart quick-witted professional developed quite the fan base while vying for Juan's heart. Towards the end of the season, however, she realized the former soccer stud was not for her. She called him out for his repetitive "It's Okay" assurances, put him in his place, and then exited the dating show on her own. Now, Dorfman is back, and she's the one handing out the roses. On Monday, May 19, the 27-year-old beauty met her 25 potentials.
First things first though. Contestant Eric Hill tragically passed away shortly after leaving the show. His paragliding accident occurred while the show was still filming, though he had already been eliminated. At the beginning of the season premiere, Eric was remembered for his huge impact, and the entire season was dedicated to him. Early spoilers have indicated that the handsome explorer was Andi's first one-on-one date, which quite obviously reveals that she definitely felt a connection with him.
Aside from the sadness that hangs over this season, Andi was able to meet her other 24 suitors. Though there wasn't a great deal of drama yet, we can rest assured that it's coming.
Here are some highlights from the limo moments:
Josh M. is quite obviously sticking around for a good while, if not walking away with Andi. Dorfman revealed that the former pro baseball player is her type. However, she's admitted that "her type" hasn't worked out so well for her thus far, so she may need to think outside the box.
Tasos' entrance was among the most interesting this premiere, and it definitely caught Andi's attention. He spoke a little french and attempted to recreate the Lover's Bridge in Paris. What a romantic, huh?
Nick V. clearly impressed Andi with his sincerity and down-to-earth demeanor. It was immediately evident that the two have chemistry, though Nick was incredibly nervous and slightly awkward. He will for sure be a favorite contestant this season, and his genuine heart will keep him around at least most of the season. Nick earned himself the first impression rose, and seemed completely surprised to be the one chosen.
Farmer Chris also stood out. His background and persona is likely going to win over the ladies this season. Some websites are even already speculating that if he doesn't win Andi's heart, he will be the next bachelor. Time will tell. Let's not get ahead of ourselves, folks.
Cody the fitness trainer tried pushing a limo for his grand entrance. How appropriate.
Now...let's discuss MARCUS. This guy is easy on the eyes, billengual, and works as a sports medicine manager. Andi called him "intriguing." Shall we say final 4?
Back to Eric. Sadly we know that we aren't going to see a happy ending with Eric, but the premiere made viewers wish otherwise. He's one of the most physically attractive contestants this season, and easily one of the most interesting. He also seemed incredibly genuine and drama-free. During his entrance, he presented Andi with two dolls from the Andes Mountains. He explained that a little girl had given them to him, and told him to give them to his girlfriend....so he chose Andi. His entire presence was sweet, and it was easy to see why Andi was taken up with him.
Now, on to Bradley. We have ANOTHER Opera singer this season, but it doesn't seem as though he will fair as well as Sharleen last season. However, time will tell.
Brett the hairstylist? He stole a lamp from the hotel and presented it to Andi as a gift. She seemed a little unsure about that, but he received a rose anyways.
Nick A. the golfer also kept things reasonably interesting, and apparently Andi didn't mind her golf lesson.
The most exciting event of the evening was Chris Bukowski being a party crasher. In case you don't remember him, he was on Emily Maynard's season and 'The Bachelor Pad.' He was insistent about meeting Andi because he had fallen for her during Juan's season, but his entrance didn't impress Andi. She decided that since he didn't go through the process like her other guys, he shouldn't be able to join the pool now. Chris Harrison informed him that he would not be allowed to vy for her heart, which didn't go over real well. Was he there for Andi or there for more spotlight? You decide!
At the rose ceremony, it was clear that Andi must not be a huge fan of guys with long hair, as every one of her longer haired guys were sent packing. Rudie, Mike, Josh B., Emil, Jason M.D., and Steven were rose-less. As an attorney himself, Rudie took it hard saying everyone said him and Andi would get married and have kids. Sadly, Jason M.D. dished that it was hard to not hear his name called and that he didn't have a whole lot to go home to. Josh B. was embarrassed and said it was "stupid."
What did you think of the premiere? Who are your early favorites? Sound off in the comment section below!

Darius Rucker, along with Cassandra Pope and Joel Crouse brings his True Believers tour to Boston on Friday September 12th for an all ages show starting at 7PM.
Rucker gained fame in the 1990's with his band Hootie and the Blowfish, then switched his career writing and performing country songs with his last three albums, 'Learn To Live', 'Charleston, SC 1966', and 'True Believers'. On 'True Believers', Sheryl Crow lends a hand with 'Love Without You', and Rucker performs with Lady Antebellum on 'Wagon Wheel', a Bob Dylan penned song made popular by the band Old Crow Medicine Show.
Rucker has been active in support of various fundraisers for helping those in need. This past April 2014, Rucker participated in the Academy of Country Music's Lifting Lives celebrity golf classic in Las Vegas NV. The event brings together country music artists and record labels, as well as many music industry companies and individuals to raise dollars for charitable causes through this star-studded scramble tournament. Money raised from the event benefits the ACM Lifting Lives Diane Holcomb Emergency Relief Fund, which provides immediate relief to those in need in the music industry.
In preparing his latest album 'True Believers', Rucker explains his approach to his craft. "I just started with a list of guys I wanted to write with," says Rucker. "The process doesn't really change - you go off in a corner and write - but I really wanted to try not to write 'Alright' again. And I'm very happy with what we got. I love the song choices, the sound is brighter, and even though I'm not big on listening to myself, I'm really proud of the vocals on this record."
Look for Joel Crouse to join Rucker onstage to perform the classic 'Family Tradition' at the Blue Hills Pavilion this September. Get your tickets here: http://www.ticketmaster.com/Darius-Rucker-tickets/artist/829195

College Hockey:Czarnowczan scores two as Ferris State holds off Bemidji State
BIG RAPIDS, Mich – Four goals in a first period "blizzard" were enough for the Ferris State Bulldogs to earn a weekend sweep over the Bemidji State Beavers with a 5-3 win.
"It was a snowstorm, no a blizzard, in the first period," said Bemidji State coach Tom Serratore. "We did a lot of spectating and we dug a huge hole for ourselves."
Bemidji State was outshot by Ferris State, 18-2, in the opening frame. Despite the offensive onslaught, Ferris State once again showed off a balanced attack with goals from the defense, forwards, and freshmen.
Ferris State's first period scoring started with freshman Gerald Mayhew's first career goal. Mayhew tapped a rebound past Andrew Walsh.
"It felt good," said Mayhew of his first goal. "I had a lot of chances last night [that didn't go in]."
The Bulldogs proceeded to tack on three more goals from defensemen before the period ended.
Zach Dorer added his first of the year with a shot from the left point and Scott Czarnowczan put up two more on identical plays.
"They were the same play," said Czarnowczan. "He [Jason Binkley] shot and the puck found my stick and I slid them home."
Despite a four-goal deficit, the Beavers were not out of the game. Aided by a multitude of power plays, they staged a comeback in the second period.
"We came out really well in the first," said Ferris State coach Bob Daniels. "Then, we lost a bit of focus and what that resulted in was not necessarily poor play, but penalties."
Bemidji State made quick use of the man advantage to get some wind back in its sails.
"We've had four games in a row where we've had slow starts," said Serratore. "It was good to see the guys still had some fight left in them. We challenged them between the first and second period and were happy with how well they fought back."
The Beavers continued to take advantage of power plays and a choppy second period to add two more goals and pull within one late in the middle frame.
"It's nice being on the power play, ours was dialed in; it got Ferris out of rhythm as well," said Serratore of the second period's pace.
Daniels agreed, saying, "It was really tough getting in a flow. I give the guys a lot of credit for stepping up and re-engaging in the game."
The second period resurgence was not enough for the Beavers, as Andy Huff tacked on one more Bulldogs goal late in the frame to put the game out of reach.
Next weekend, Ferris State (7-2-0, 4-0-0 WCHA) continues a long homestand with a two-game WCHA conference series against longtime foe Bowling Green State University, while Bemidji State (3-6-1, 3-3-0 WCHA) returns home to host Alaska-Anchorage.
