His laborers do horrible work and Josh is basically a crook
I would avoid using his services like cancer.
There are many other contractor's out there that provide a much better service.

February Updates
The latest build in the new version of DA2 has been available for over a week, but I thought I'd officially announce it in the news. It is mostly playable now, which is good. You can find it by
clicking here
. I've also updated the link section with a new webiste,
Orbital Cows
, where everyone can find tons of other games to play.
January 19, 2009
Dark Ages II Version 2.0 - Coming Soon!
Well, it's been years since the last update. It seems the migration to Vista will never be complete, but Windows 7 will probably change that. As a result, DA2 needs porting yet again to keep up with the modern operating systems - so much for backwards compatibility, right? Because I'm starting all over from scratch, I'm making several changes to the game interface. You can sample what's done so far by
clicking here
. It is not a finished game. Many things don't work yet because they have not been programmed yet. You can read more about the new version in the forum.
Website and Wiki
I'll start updating the website over the next few months. Most of it will remain the same because the content is still relevant, but I need to update the links and start expanding the wiki. Other players can contribute to the wiki as well. It can be found
July 15, 2006
Patch 1.2 is released!
The new patch is out. It fixes only a few minor bugs and provides a better menu interface when hitting the ESC key while playing. It also fixes an old crash bug that happens rarely. If you downloaded the game after July 15, then you should already be at version 1.2. You only need to upgrade if the version number in the bottom-left corner of the title screen does not say 1.2.
Dark Ages I: The Continents remake
EvilMrHenry has developed a python RPG game/engine. To test the modular game features, he completely remade DA1 from scratch! It's not the first time such was attempted, but it is the first time that the feat has been completed. I put links up in the fansites and links sections, but you can also get to his page from
July 4, 2006
Website Updated
The site update is long overdue, but here it is. The biggest change is the Archived news section. I put all the old 2005 news posts in there. Also, although it's very quiet on the website, I'm still around. I don't actually disappear, it's just that since the game is finished, there's not much to post. But feel free to hang out in the forum or send along some email. Also, the next game patch will be released soon.
Death to SpamBots!
Well, despite YaBB's claim to have an update soon, there has been none for eight months (heh, may sound familiar to regulars here :). The update was supposed to have spambot protection, but since the update does not exists, and spambots do exist, I've had to take more drastic measures. There is no longer guest posting and all new users will have to supply a valid email address to receive a password. This has reduced the amount of bot spams by about 99.99993%. Sadly, it also discourages casual visitors from posting their comments and questions, and board traffic has dwindled recently. I apologize for the inconveniences, but please try not to get discouraged from using the forum. New members are welcome and appreciated!
March 11, 2006
Patch Release: Dark Ages II, Version 1.1!
The patch is in the download section. It is self-extracting, just run the file and it will do the rest. I also updated the main game file, so if you downloaded and installed DA2 after March 11, then you are already updated. The version number on the title screen should read 1.1 if you have the most recent version. Changes in the update are listed below.
Changes In Version 1.1
Fixed journal entries for the Pirate Ship and Wilt's Quest.
Fixed the dwarf mine bridge.
Fixed battle damage calculations.
Fixed incorrect battle background scenery for several battles.
Fixed a bug allowing the player to change from the first Madigan quest to the Rein Camp south of Erond's Plain quest.
Shelf in the lower library levels is now highlighted.
Fixed a world map water misalignment.
Fixed several typos.
March 9, 2006
The Forum Is Back In Action!
The forum is working again. I still don't know exactly what was going wrong, but the server was upgraded and the problem disappeared. At least, it has disappeared as far as I can see. I haven't gotten any errors after about 30 minutes of usage. I'll have more updates to the site soon, including a news archive to shorten this rather lengthy webpage and the latest bug patch to the game.
March 2, 2006
Forum Under Repair
Since upgrading to YaBB 2.1, the forum has progressively degenerated into Internal Server Errors. These errors are intermittent, but occurring more frequently. I really don't have any idea what is causing them, but I'll do my best to get rid of them in the next several days. If I have to, I'll wipe out the forum and start again from scratch. If you get one of the errors, just keep hitting the refresh button on the browser and it will eventually work.
Patch Coming Soon
I am working on a patch to fix a few of the remaining bugs that I missed during the beta phase. I will be testing it privately, but it should be ready by the end of the month.

Construction Update: We're open! By car, access the parking garage from Groveland Terrace.
Created for Merce Cunningham's work Views on Stage, Ernesto Neto's otheranimal appears to be a organism as much as a set design, one that could melt, drip, fall, or embrace the dancers beneath it. The otherworldly nylon environment was recently installed so staff could begin the work of adapting this stage décor into a gallery installation for the February 2017 opening of Merce Cunningham: Common Time. More
Shown simultaneously at two venues, Merce Cunningham: Common Time opens at the Walker February 8, 2017 and at MCA Chicago on February 11, 2017.
Increasingly, military tools, training, and technologies—from Bulletproof Warrior seminars to mine-resistant vehicles—are making their way into small-town police departments across the US. In conjunction with the release of Do Not Resist, filmmaker Craig Atkinson discusses police militarization with crime reporter Brandt Williams—including its impact on protest, privacy, and public safety. More
Opening nationwide Sept. 30, Craig Atkinson's Do Not Resist was screened at the Walker August 18, 2016, followed by a discussion between the filmmaker, Rep. Keith Ellison, Benjamin Feist (ACLU), and Mica Grimm (Black Lives Matter).
Both inside the Walker and across the street in the garden, big changes are evident as great progress is being made in unifying the 19-acre Walker and Minneapolis Sculpture Garden campus. Here's a glimpse at what's been happening behind the construction fencing—from the selection of a chef and name for the Walker's new restaurant, Esker Grove, to the installation of giant "lilypads" in the garden. More
"It was the pen hitting the paper, the fuse merged with the firecracker." Grant Hart recalls the August night 35 years ago when Hüsker Dü took to the tiny stage at Minneapolis's 7th St. Entry to record Land Speed Record. Today, as Yusif Del Valle re-records his drum track as part of the exhibition Chris Larson: Land Speed Record, Hart shares the history of the making of this seminal punk album. More
The exhibition Land Speed Record—on view June 9, 2016–January 8, 2017—is accompanied by an exhibition catalogue that takes the form of a clear vinyl LP with liner notes.
Many people first encountered voguing—or the ballroom scene it emerged from—through Madonna's "Vogue" or Jennie Livingston's Paris is Burning. But as Fatha Jazz, founder of the Twin Cities's House of Bordeaux, says, the ball is only a fraction of what ballroom is—a vital support network for LGBT people of color: "It's as much a response to our state of being as Black Lives Matter or the NAACP." More
North Carolina's discriminatory transgender bathroom bill, the mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, police killings of African Americans across the United States, and the soaring murder rate among transgender women of color: artist Gordon Hall responds to the trauma of recent events with a meditation on the potential for self-transformation through our relationships with objects. More
Gordon Hall is the seventh artist—after Ron Athey, Dread Scott, Ana Tijoux, and others—to contribute to the ongoing Artist Op-Ed series.
Smoke guns and confetti cannons were out in full force during the final set of Rock the Garden 2016—and videographer Chuck Olsen of Visual was there to capture the experience in immersive, 360-degree video. Watch as Wayne Coyne (in a fur coat and duct-tape pants) and the Flaming Lips perform the single "Race for the Prize," off the 1999 album The Soft Bulletin. More
Rock the Garden 2016 was held June 18, 2016.
"How can color be trusted anyway? It changes depending on weather. It changes when another leans in close and kisses its ear." Poet Erin Sharkey responds to William Pope.L's "Skin Set Drawings." Using common materials like markers and pens, Pope.L makes declarative statements about people of various colors (white, black, green, blue), offering sharp commentary on the absurdity of language about color and race. More
William Pope.L's "Skin Set Drawings" are on view in Less Than One through December 31, 2016.
Humans' impact on the Earth since 1950 has been so profound that a new geological epoch must be named to reflect it, scientists at this week's International Geological Congress say. Their suggested label for this human-centric period: the Anthropocene.
"For every artist whose work hangs on the wall, there are other artists who just don't make it into the gallery." On Sunday, hundreds of women artists, from Catherine Opie to Betye Saar to organizer Kim Schoenstadt—posed for a group portrait of LA women artists.
Carrie Mae Weems: "I realized at a certain moment that I could not count on white men to construct images of myself that I would find appealing or useful or meaningful or complex. I can't count on anybody else but me to deliver on my own promise to myself."
"Indeed, this future is tense." Considering the role art can play during difficult times, artist Kameelah Rasheed shares her reading list on the intersections of art, futurity, and justice—including writings by Octavia Butler, Stuart Hall, Jack Whitten, and Kevin Young.
After four years, Ang Lee is back. But how many will get to see his new film the way he intended? Challenging technology of typical theaters, his Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk was shot in 3-D, 4K ultra-high-definition, at the high rate of 120 frames a second.

A Young Entrepreneur's Sweet Idea
A 15-Year-Old Has An Inspiration—and a Wealthy, Well-Connected Father to Make It Happen
BOSTON—Starting a new candy brand from scratch might seem ill-fated in an industry filled with iconic brands like M&Ms and Snickers. But that isn't stopping Nicky Bronner.
The home-schooled 15-year-old is out to build Unreal Brands Inc., a food business on a mission to "unjunk" snacks by creating products that contain only natural ingredients.
"I love to eat candy," said the sandy-haired teenager while surrounded by samples of his new products, which are near-replicas of candies such as Milky Way and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
Nicky came up with the business idea following a dispute with his parents regarding his sweet tooth and their push for him to eat healthier snacks. His start-up's candy will land in Target Corp. TGT -0.65 % , Kroger Co. KR -0.24 % , BJ's Wholesale Club Inc. and CVS Caremark Corp. CVS -0.55 % over the next few months.
The teenager has an advantage that might help him to break into the $31 billion candy industry: his millionaire father, entrepreneur and angel investor Michael Bronner.
Mr. Bronner in 1980 founded digital-ad firm Digitas Inc., which was sold two decades later to Publicis Groupe SA for more than $1 billion. He then founded financial-rewards company Upromise Inc., and sold it in 2006 to SLM Corp., also known as Sallie Mae, for more than $300 million.
"If we don't do it, who will?" said Mr. Bronner, an avid jogger and yoga enthusiast whose family resides in the Boston suburb of Brookline, Mass. It takes "innovators" and "disrupters" to spark the kind of drastic cultural shift that Unreal Brands hopes to achieve, adds the 53-year-old married father of two, who serves as a founding partner of Unreal Brands.
Allen Adamson, managing director of WPP Group PLC's branding agency, Landor Associates, said typically launching a candy brand requires deep pockets. "You're battling for the hearts and minds of kids in a brutally competitive space," he said. "The big, established brands are everywhere. They've been around forever and they know how to tell their story."
To try to overcome that challenge, Mr. Bronner set up meetings for his son with venture capitalists, retail executives and food scientists, and he has financed trips to Europe and South America to source ingredients and talent. The start-up's 19 employees include former executives from Procter & Gamble Co., Kellogg Co., Google Inc. and Godiva Chocolatier Inc.
"You don't find many kids that have this kind of access to capital to get an idea started," said Len Schlesinger, former chief operating officer of Limited Brands Inc., current president of Babson College and Unreal Brands' nonexecutive chairman of the board.
Mr. Bronner also has garnered the support of his friend, Tom Brady, and the football star's supermodel wife, Gisele Bündchen. The famous couple has pledged to promote the start-up's mission from their Twitter and Facebook feeds once it launches. Similarly, after being introduced last year to Jack Dorsey through business associates, Mr. Bronner won over the Silicon Valley star as well. The Twitter co-founder said he will advocate on behalf of Unreal Brands on his own Twitter feed.
Unreal Brands is a for-profit but like many ventures led by the millennial generation, it has a social mission. It is looking to recreate traditional junk foods, so that they taste the same but lack the kind of unhealthy ingredients that can cause health problems such as obesity, heart disease and diabetes, the company said.
But Unreal Brands' candy bars, which cost the same as traditional competitors, still contain sugar and chocolate, and nutritionists say children and adults alike would be better off replacing candy bars altogether with nonprocessed foods like fruits and vegetables.
"It comes down to a fundamental question about how consumers will respond," adds Kelly D. Brownell, a professor of psychology, epidemiology and public health at Yale University."You really don't know."
One possibility is that people who normally eat one candy bar a day will allow themselves to eat two or more Unreal candy bars a day. "They might overdo it," Dr. Brownell added.
Unreal Brands resulted from a disagreement two years ago between Nicky and his parents over the fate of a sack full of Halloween candy. Nicky said he threw a fit when his mom and dad tossed out more than half of the sweets he had collected. His parents argued that the candies contained too many harmful ingredients, he said.
Rather than concede to his parents' logic, the teenager began searching online for evidence proving otherwise. He discovered that not only were his favorite snacks loaded with sugar, corn syrup and hydrogenated fat, but that obesity and diabetes rates had jumped in recent years among children his own age. "For once, my dad was actually right," he said.
He then wondered if it was possible to create healthier but equally delicious versions of his favorite candies. His older brother Kris suggested he get in touch with renowned food scientist Peter Barham for help. Searching Google, Nicky said he found the U.K. molecular gastronomist's phone number and gave him a call.
Dr. Barham referred him to Adam Melonas, a 30-year-old progressive chef who was working in Madrid. With his father's blessing, Nicky proposed that he and Mr. Melonas team up to create an alternative food company.
Mr. Melonas said the teen spoke with a level of maturity and poise atypical of someone so young, and that he was instantly attracted to the opportunity.
Mr. Melonas, who is also a co-founder, soon moved to the U.S. where he began re-engineering some of the world's most popular snacks. The job took two years to complete, more than twice as long as he anticipated, the Australian-born chef said.
"The color was the most tormenting thing," he added, because he needed to come up with an attractive alternative to artificial dyes. His version of M&Ms, the candy-coated chocolates, come in muted shades of purple, pink, blue, yellow, green and orange.
The start-up operates out of a narrow office on the fifth floor of a historic commercial building in downtown Boston. The company expects to relocate to a larger property a few miles away in the fall, where it will bring on several chefs to work under Mr. Melonas to recreate items in other categories besides candy, such as soda.
CVS Caremark will be the first to carry the candies in its 7,300 stores nationwide starting next month. Judy Sansone, senior vice president of merchandising for Woonsocket, R.I., drugstore chain, said she cannot remember the last time a new or small candy business struck a deal with the retailer. Recent dealings have been for Hershey Co. HSY -0.11 % 's Air Delight, Mars Inc.'s Pretzel M&M's and Nestlé SA's Skinny Cow.
Though the father-and-son team has raised an undisclosed amount of venture capital from firms like Khosla Ventures of Menlo Park, Calif., they still lack many of the resources that the big candy makers boast, such as their own manufacturing plant or a large, dedicated sales force.
And there have been other challenges, too. The teenager and his dad disagreed on the candy packaging, for instance. His dad wanted red for the logo on the peanut-butter cups. Nicky wanted yellow. Dad wanted a variety of colors in the packaging background. Nicky wanted all black.
Nicky's preferences so far have won out.

i called to have it corrected and was told by "KELLY" that its not like she she knew what she was getting anyway and they compensated me with the same dollar worth of flowers......this outraged me, i asked to speak to someone above her and she asked me to hold... "kelly" came back and said she left a message with the florist manager in regards to the matter to pick up the flowers wrongly deliverd and to deliver the correct ones...
"kelly" said they simply didnt have the right amount of flowers to do what was asked for and so they just wanted to get them deliverd today as i requested. (so they send something i didnt want! and sent a mess!!) i was first angry that not only did they deliver the incorrect flowers, now they want to take them away and make her wait for the correct flowers.
the next day i seen the flowers that were suppose to be the correct flowers and AGAIN!!!! a complete mess and not what i orderd. they gave her all colors of carnations and 2 red roses... A MESS!!! carnations are not yellow lillies and red roses are not pink roses and not even the amount they should have been but only 2!!!!... i paid alomost 50$ for crap!!! and was offerd 20% back and a gift card for 15$ to compensate me...
i wont be using the 15$ dollar gift card that i still havent recieved and i only got back 11$ and some change when i paid 48$ and some change!! I WILL NEVER USE THIS SERVICE AGAIN!!! and i am going to my bank to dispute these charges because you did not give what i paid for!!! and not only that but u did not even honor the corrective action against your mistake! NEVER EVER AGAIN

I've got a website (http://aldasigmunds.com) that's running a really old version of WordPress (2.1). I want to upgrade, and I'm thinking the easiest way is to re-install with Fantastico. However, I want to use the old content, just with a new theme and on a new WP installation.
Can someone tell me the best way to go about this? Would I, for example, back up my wp_content folder and then re-install it when the new installation is in place? Or other folders?
Incidentally, this new installation will be in a subdirectory. Don't know if that matters.

Allardyce's Hammers were outplayed for the majority of their 1-0 defeat at the KC Stadium, but he focused on the spot-kick rather than the performance.
He diagnosed a case of play-acting after Brady won a 12th-minute verdict during a slight coming together with Joey O'Brien.
The Irishman was quickly up to convert the penalty, which was enough to secure three points, leaving Allardyce cursing both his fortune and Brady's tumble.
But Bruce defended the midfielder's integrity and insisted he would discipline any of his players should they be seen to dive.
"I'm not going to encourage anyone to cheat and neither is Sam. Over the years we've built reputations of teams being honest and I'm not going to condone that," he said.
"There was contact, how big or not I don't know. I'm not going to pull the wool over anyone's eyes, certainly if I caught any of my players trying to cheat - and that's what it is, let's not beat around the bush - I would punish them.
"But it looks to me as though there was contact."
Bruce's side now have three wins this term, leaving them well ahead of schedule in the fight to survive in the Barclays Premier League.
Record signing Tom Huddlestone has been a cornerstone of their eye-catching start to the season, gaining plenty of plaudits for the way he dictates play from a deep-lying midfield position.

Infogrames May Change Name to Atari
New blood brings a new attitude to the publisher -- and perhaps a new name?
When Phil Harrison resigned as head of Sony Worldwide Studios and announced he'd be joining Infogrames as its president and Directeur Général Délégué (aka deputy managing director), many expected it'd bring about big changes for the floundering publisher. According to GamesIndustry.biz, one of the first changes may be the most public, as Infogrames is considering changing its name to adopt that of its most prized possession: Atari.
You can check out the full interview here.
"I'd like to consider that; I think that would be the final mark of the transformation from Infogrames to Atari," said CEO David Gardner. "We have a new board of directors, a new management team that's less than a year old -- so yes, it's really continuing. We like to think of Infogrames, instead of being the tired, old company, we like to think of it as the best-funded, best-branded, most energetic start-up in the history of computer gaming."
In the extended interview with GamesIndustry.biz, Phil Harrison also spoke more on why he decided to leave Sony for the rocky shoals of Infogrames -- a decision, at the time, that came as quite the surprise.
"[Gardner and I] had a very interesting series of dreams, of discussions, about if we were to create a company, what kind of company would it be, and what direction would it be headed in. We got quite a long way down that path, and then, out of left field, this opportunity came along. When we were evaluating it, we thought about what we would want from a successful company. You'd want people, products, you'd want revenue and cashflow. You'd want some infrastructure, some offices around the world, and it'd be great to have a brand that was a global brand... So when we were looking at what we'd need to create a successful company, and then we evaluated what Infogrames has, it ticked all the boxes."

Uh, didn't this happen in 2000?
What's in a name?Posted: Apr 14, 2008 12:00AM PST by Satertek
OK I think I've got it. GT Interactive founded in 1993 Infogrames Entertainment buys GT Interactive in 1999, changing it's name to Infogrames Inc. Infogrames Entertainment aquires Hasbro (which owned the Atari name) in 2001. Infogrames Inc. is renamed Atari Inc. in 2003. Now it appears that Infogrames Entertainment wants to also change it's name to Atari. Only slightly confusing :p

Tottenham Hotspur Message Board
How important do you think the City game is?
Another win there and we're within 1 point of the current 10th place (obviously that will change over the weekend) and it drags City down.
Vital 3 points (as will the next 33 be!)...Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Hey John, every game is vital now until we get over 40 points and mid table. Even then we might need to be careful as it looks like its going to be very tight this year.
Once (or should I say if so as not to put the mockers on it!) we get to mid table there is the danger that we take our foot off the pedal cos there isnt any reason to try and get higher (my guess europe will definately be well out of reach by then) but I hope not.
3 points this weekend should get us out of the "zone" and hopefully we will stay out. COYS!

I think this one is more important than the liverpool game. Liverpool - a draw would have been good - the win was fantastic.
But now you have to keep the momentum going and also try to drag the 'catchable' team into the same predicament. I think old Sparky will realise that if he loses this one, he's nearly in as much trouble as us - so I think he'll be going hell for leather for it.
And from dear ol' 'arry's (enough apostrophies there to keep my old english master bemused for weeks) perspective, a lose could see us rooted firmly at the bottom again - and then he has to pick them up again (and he then doesn't have that 'new broom' factor) - so I think this is one of those season defining games. The day the team really do show they have the belief back.
All (!) I hope for is:
- a consistent team
- not running scared
- playing to win
- no stupid red/yellow cards
I think we can do it - aren't city one of those few teams that we tend to do well against? A good 3-2 away win would suit me - just to show we can score away from home as well (Hud, Bent and Modric)
personally i'd like to see more of a reserve side going into the cup games including the eufa games, give fringe players matches and blood new ones like bostock, concentrate on the league imo ;-)
A Yahoo! User Nov 4, 2008 23:13 Flag
Good point Rambro.......we dont need others to lose in order to climb out of relegation danger...........if we are good enough we'll do that of our own accord.............
....'IF we are good enough'....hmm who'd have thought we'd be asking that question after 11 games?
I hate predicting scores, points tally's and anything to do with stats..........so here goes..1 point each against Citeh and Everton, 9 against Fulham and Blackburn and West Ham!
Dont panic EY hasnt gone soft...I will change my mind tomorrow on these predictions.
Not a bads point prediction EY and I would be very happy with that.
Also, I agree with berlin...if we put too much effort into winning a cup to the point where we lose players through injury and then lose points because we can't field our best team then that would be ridiculous. Play the out of favours and wannabees in the cup games and concentrate on the points.
We can't be ambitious after the start we have had so play it sensible. Worst of both worlds is to have a couple of cup runs but get beat in the semis and then get relegated cos we didn't get enough points to stay up....no. Play safe 'Arry and wait for next season.
not_blonde_really not_blonde_really Nov 5, 2008 01:02 Flag
My point about attacking on all fronts is that we need to keep the momentum up. I don't think the team is at a point when we can say "we need to focus on staying up", or even "we'll be fine in the league, let's get a cup run together" (obviously with that one I mean if we were higher in the league).
Obviously the league's the priority, but I think it's important that winning/doing well becomes habit - if we have a string of bad games now, even if they're only cup games, it'll affect the team and their mentality. I want to see all guns blazing every single game, and I want to see the team enjoying playing again, and that's why I think we need to concentrate on cups as much as league atm. I do also have that thought hanging over me that obviously in the end we'll be fine in the league (I hope...), but Europe will be a consideration and something that - short of a miracle - we're not going to get through the league.
I don't want the team to start picking and choosing which games to make an effort for, because frankly we're not that good yet.
I'd go with that as well.
I'm a 'consitency' of team/squad type person. OK, you may 'rest' one or two players in 'not so important' cup games (ie where you think you're going to win anyway - ie in an away draw in the FA Cup at the Emirates) - but if (what a dream eh?) I was manager, I'd want to be playing my best 11 in 90% of the games - and I'd expect them to give their all in each game.
I can understand 'arry now having to repeat some of the exercises already done by Wendy, as 'arry has to get a feel for the balance and who does what well - so, a few more changes than usual over the next few games (he doesn't have a pre-season to assess them), then stabilising in December, ready for the push in (over) Chrimbo and the new year.
The team had the belief under BMJ and worked all the fronts - so, this team can do the same under 'arry - we just won't finish that high in the league.
Win against Zagreb, then City and again against Liverpool. Is 3 wins in 4 days toooooooo much to ask? Then the alarm clock went 'orf.......
Well, that throws it wide open.
We're back in the mix with 10th position now in range (obviously depending on other results). Who would have thought this 3 weeks back?
Where was Bale yesterday though? Didn't see him on the injured list or subs bench.

I spotted Bale sitting behind Harry on the bench on MOTD2 last night. Apart from that I have no info as to why he didnt get on.
I know we are only a couple of wins from top half but so is everyone else it seems. Its a lot tighter down there than its been for years and its anyones guess who the bottom 3 will be come May. We are only 1 point off bottom still so we must keep this great run going at least until we come up against Manure next month...if we are still going good by then we could even take points off them too.

Great game........have a few negatives to share....Ekotto is just not up to the job at left back.....He has made a number of errors in the last couple of games....I would much prefer to see Gunter be give a try out there....Or anyone else....
Bentley had another poor game. Some of his crossing was just not up to par. They are the only two issue I could see.
Bent is just pure class always new he would come good. Thudd was excellent as was Jenas for setting up the 2nd.
Great results and great overall performances....so its all good news.

Ive been guilty of giving Bent a rough ride in here recently so id better not try and sound too weasly...but....well Im glad he is now proving me wrong on a regular basis!
What about Bale reverting to his natural left back role instead of Ekotto?

Salon Concert
"Simply Jackie" Concert
Pianist extraordinaire Jon Kimura Parker lit up a dark November night with an incredible solo performance for the Orcas Island Chamber Music Festival. The "Simply Jackie" Salon Concert took place Wednesday, November 12th at 7:00 pm at Orcas Center. The world of fantasy and "the fantastic" combined in this brilliant program, which featured the following works:
Ludwig van Beethoven: Piano Sonata in C-sharp Minor, Op. 27, No. 2, "Moonlight" Quasi una fantasia
William Hirtz: Bernard Hermann Fantasy (Music from Mysterious Island, Psycho, and North By Northwest)
Franz Schubert: Fantasie in C Major, "Der Wanderer", D. 760, Op. 15
Robert Schumann: Fantasy in C Major, Op. 17
"The word fantasy has inspired composers in many ways," Jackie Parker says. "Schubert took the simplest possible theme and created his most overtly virtuosic work, the Wanderer Fantasy. Beethoven called his Moonlight Sonata an "almost fantasy", alluding to the atmosphere created by the well-known first movement. William Hirtz weaved together multiple Hitchcock soundtracks by Bernard Hermann in his latest fantasy, and Schumann chose the fantasy form for what is often considered his most inspired work."
"Both Schubert and Schumann's fantasies are considered to be among their most technically and artistically challenging works. Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata is among his most famous, and Hirtz's stated intent in the Bernard Hermann Fantasy was to create a work 'as effective as the Wizard of Oz Fantasy, a little easier on the hands, but in a virtuoso style.' "

Salon Concert Pairs Famous Friends
A private music room on Orcas Island was the setting for our 2012 Fall Salon Concert. Jon Kimura Parker, piano, and Desmond Hoebig, cello, performed as if they had known each other for a lifetime. In fact, they have."Jackie" noted that he knew Desmond before he knew his little sister! And now these former Canadians are both Professors at the Shepherd School of Music at Rice University. The audience was treated to Beethoven's Twelve Variations on "Ein Mädchen oder Weibchen" from Mozart's Die Zauberflöte, Op. 66; Brahms' Sonata for Cello and Piano No. 1 in E minor, Op. 38; and Tchaikovsky's Variations on a Rococo Theme, Op. 33. It was a Salon Concert to cherish – elegant setting, incredible acoustics, amazing musicians.

I would not have had a problem paying the cancelation charge of 75% of the remaining contract ($41.99 x 24 months x .75% = $755) BUT.... they ALLOWED the Ex to continue service under MY information. Are they crazy? That is fraud!
I'm sure the 3rd party vendor in quiestoin wanted to keep the contract active because if it was cancelled BEFORE 1 year, they would get charged back from ADT corporate (shady).
At any rate. I called into the call center multiple times in 2013. They ALWAYS said, the service was active under the EX as an "authorized signer" on my old account. ADT Corp (Steve) now says that was a mistake... even though multiple agents said so.
Then (Steve) - ADT Corp sent us a letter IN WRITING. Saying that the EX is going to sign a NEW contract under her informaiton now. And we have a 2 year cerdit on our old account, and if we want to move it to our new address ALL the cancel fees would "go away". Yes he used those words.. On ADT official paper and envelope. NOW... Steve says, "Oh, I made a mistake, none of that is true" and you willl have to deal with the 3rd party vendor because they are no longer associated with ADT>
I explained that they WERE associated with them and it is THEIR obligation to fix this. They refuse to help. So even though I have it IN WRITING from ADT and they have multiple recordings, they are telling me EVERYONE was "mistaken".... can someone say LAW SUIT????? FRAUD PRACTICES on behalf of ADT???? THey will do ANYTHING for a sale and then do ANYTHING to charge additional FEES if you cancel.... EVEN if they are providing service under your private information... they STILL want you to pay crazy Fees. I don't think so!

Lavish renovations further elevate this already luxurious Fiji resort.
Paradise found. Need we say more? Accessible via a scenic short flight from Fiji's main airport, the all-inclusive Vomo Island Resort is like discovering your own deserted island sanctuary, complete with crystal-clear waters, pristine beaches and exotic tropical foliage. The property's 30 luxury accommodations (renovated hillside and beachfront villas, beachfront retreats, a royal villa and a four-bedroom residence) spoil guests with spacious bathrooms and reconfigured bedrooms adorned with separate dressing areas, custom teak furniture and Dynasty Heavenly Beds. Of course, relaxation is the purpose of this place, but that can come in many forms, including recreational activities such as swimming, scuba diving (the resort maintains its own PADI dive center), tennis, golf and kid-friendly programming. A full-service day spa soothes and pampers visitors with massages and body treatments; we suggest the Honey and Sesame exfoliating scrub. The expanded Rocks Bar and Reef Restaurant wow with outstanding fresh global cuisine, a nicely vetted wine list and unobstructed views of the spectacular Fijian sunsets.

Trail details
Grade of Trail:
- Difficult
Length of trail:30 miles
Trail is currently open
Trail description
The Cross-Border Trail into Scotland gives cyclists an alternative to the Bloody Bush MTB trail and links in with the Lakeside Way, but it can also be accessed from the picnic area at Lewisburn.
From Lewisburn, the best direction to ride the trail is anti-clockwise, following the old Bloodybush toll road, climbing past open ground, a quarry and over the Buck Burn. The trail runs alongside a recently felled area on the left and becomes a grassy track, before reaching the old Bloody Bush Toll Pillar, which is steeped in history and well worth reading the fees that once long ago you would have had to pay at the border. Here you get spectacular views of the Liddesdale valley and the Scottish Border Hills come into view before the trail joins the forest road which plunges down through conifers. Look out for the sharp left off the main forest road.
The route undulates with several long descents until reaching Dykecrofts, the trailhead for the Newcastleton 7stanes trails. Toilets are available here and it's just a short 10 min pedal down the hill to Newcastleton village which has cafes, shops and accomodation.
For the return leg to Kielder the route climbs away from the trailhead, skirts along the side of the Skills Area then follows forest roads to the Border stane. Turning right here the route heads away from the other waymarked mtb routes at Newcastleton and towards Kershope Burn. A long very gradual climb alongside the burn follows to reach Scotch Knowe, the crossing point into England and the final part of the route back to the Kielder trailhead.
As with all trails in Kielder, please be fully prepared for riding in remote environments and come properly equipped. The weather can change rapidly and small equipment failures can quickly turn into a more serious situation. Always let somebody know where you are going and when you are due back.

5 Starsmtb rider , 20/Oct/2015
23 of us rode this route as part of the UK Mountain Bike Conference on October 17th 2015.
We had a fantastic time, the trail is not easy, but what a range of singletrack, wilderness riding and the finishing off on excellent singletrack in Kielder before getting to Kielder.
It is an epic day out and just fantastic ever changing landscape and trails. Only downside was the lack of maintenance on the Newcastleton 7stanes trails, bad wheel stopping pot holes throughout.
5 StarsDaan van Belzen, 19/Oct/2015
It is now a few years ago that Peter Phillips and I took this ride to attend the Enduro event at Kielder. Alas Peter had a nasty crash however he still managed to ride the return trail to Newcastleton singlehandedly on his Kona. A year or so later Pete, Levi and I established Bikeseven. The rest is proving to be an exciting history. CHEERS Pete!
3 StarsMac, 17/Jun/2015
Unless you're going to drop into Scotland via the Bloody Bush Trail then you're far better off doing the Cross Border Ride clockwise - that way you get the biggest climb up to the mast on fire road and the long descent past the pillar on single track (why slog your guts out on single track for a forest road descent) back down to Lewisburn (and you can pick up some of the red route on the way). You need to look out for the signage a bit more this way.
On the Lewisburn to Scotch Knowe stretch the FC have destroyed the single track descent which used to be a nice little stretch.

ExcerptIndeed, even if we know that many individual components are necessary for life to exist, we do not yet know what makes life emerge. One goal of this journal Life is to juxtapose articles with multidisciplinary approaches and perhaps to answer in the near future this question of the emergence of life. Different subjects and themes will be developed, starting of course with the multiple definitions of life and continuing with others such as: life diversity and universality; characteristics of living systems; thermodynamics with energy and entropy; kinetics and catalysis; water in its different physical states; circulation of sap and blood and its origin; the first blood pump and first heart; the first exchange of nutrients between cells, sap and blood; essential molecules of living systems; chirality; molecular asymmetry and its origin; formation of enantiomer excess and amplification; microscopic observations on a micrometer and sub-micrometer scales, at molecular and atomic levels; the first molecules at the origin of genetic information, viroids, circular RNA; regions of space or the area inside membranes and cells capable of initiating and maintaining life; phenomena at the origin of the emergence of life; molecules studied in the traditional field of chemistry and in the recent field of nanoscience governed by new laws; interaction between the individual molecules and components of living systems; interaction between living systems and the environment; transfer of information through generations; continuation of life from one generation to the next; prebiotic chemistry and prebiotic signatures on Earth, on Mars, on other planets; biosignatures of the first forms of life; fossils and pseudofossils dating 3.5 Ga ago and more recent ones; experimental fossilization; pluricellular eukaryotes dating 2.1 Ga ago; sudden increase in oxygen in the atmosphere around 2.0 to 2.5 Ga ago and its relation to geology; shell symmetry; aging with transformation of molecules, of their symmetry, their interactions, their exchanges.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I received a bill from a collection agency, CBCS, stating that they were attempting to collect a debt for BellSouth advertising. This is where the nightmare begins. Luckily I have recorded their conversations otherwise I might think it was a horrible dream. I cannot believe the rude, harrassing behavior of the representatives at this company. I explained the situation to them and they called me a liar. I was told that I have to pay the $1200.00 bill and go after the landscaping company who had the phone number before. I was yelled at, cursed at, belittled, called a liar and treated with utter contempt. Never in my life would I have believed that a company like BellSouth would use this collection agency. I was even told by CBCS not to bother calling BellSouth for help. I told them I need to call someone for help because you surely aren't going to help me. I asked for verification of the bill and I was told I owe it so just pay up with a credit card.
Finally after dozens of telephone calls, BellSouth has admitted that the advertising bill was from 2004. Having lived in Michigan at the time, it was highly unlikely that I would have traveled over 1,000 miles to cut down any trees especially since I have never even done much more with landscaping than mow my lawn once a week. I was informed that when a company takes over a number, they assume they are going to benefit from the previous company's advertising so they just send the bill to the new person who owns the number. It's corrected since they know I didn't benefit from it and that the number "was given out too quicly" for the advertising department to catch up. I contacted CBCS and simply asked would I receive a letter from them stating I am not responsible for the debt and again, I was called a liar and told they are not going to do anything until BellSouth clears it up. Now, once again, I am at the mercy of BellSouth. The same who knowingly passed someone else's debt over to me and then to a collection agency. I truly hope that this site gives BellSouth and AT&T a glimpse into what they do to innocent people. While I may be just a number to them, I have to tell you that the stress caused by the bill and especially by the ignorance and rudeness of the representatives at CBCS makes me absolutely furious. CBCS should be ordered to cease and desist. I understand they are a collection agency and it can be a difficult position, but people still deserve respect. Not harrassment or to be called a liar and yelled and screamed at. I am 40 years old, it's been a long time since I deserved being yelled at. It's an absolute disgrace that they hire the people they do. One phone call had them passing the phone to three people and they sounded totally intoxicated. I could go on for hours about them, but I am sure if you are reading this, you have had your fair share of dealings with them. If there is a class action law suit filed against them and BellSouth, I would support that whole-heartedly.

My husband and I attended a Rich Dad Poor Dad free seminar Sept 2009. We paid a $49.00 deposit to attend a 3 day seminar but stated we could not attend the next one as we would be overseas. We were told this was no problem, we could schedule the next one. When we tried to reach Rich Dad, we were told the $49.00 was an inadequate deposit (although we gave proof that they dud charge our debit card). We have sent multiple letters since and called, to no avail. No response, even to certified letters.

This deposit was charged to our credit card, and late 2009 we sent a confirmation letter to Rich Dad with a copy of the credit card receipt. If RD says the deposit wasn't valid, why did they process the charge for that amount $ We can provide proof of all this if requested. We are in Port Orchard, WA.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?
