>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: We all deserve a refundIn full: So many problems from F3 Events at this EXPENSIVE RIP-OFF of a race but I'll stick to the main two:1) the course was 13.38 miles long. How can they get this SO wrong?2) all the results are 4 minutes too long. Add that to the mis-measured course and all our results are about 7-8 minutes too slow. Many more of us should have PBs but now we have nothing.I think this alone is cause for a refund. I am still laughing over my 'goodie' bag.Date of review: May 30, 2014
In short: HILLY HILLY HILLY. Bye bye PBIn full: They said this route was undulating. It was relentlessly up up up even until mile 11-12. It reminded me of hilly old Berkhamsted. The inclines weren't all long or steep, they just kept coming. The last one killed my PB chance - nothing left for another hill, I thought we'd had em all.:-( This could have been explained better pre-race or on the route map. The organisation was good, no bottlenecks, great support and marshals, venue bit depressing, shabby old racecourse. Castle would have been better like last year. 'Race village'? Nothing there really. Worst latte I've EVER had from shabby miserable racecourse cafe. Plenty of portals tho (well done BHF) and great t-shirt (tho non-tech, NEVER putting it on to run) but bag drop was UTTER disaster. Long long winding and panicking queue until right before the race when they realised they'd better speed up. Not sure if they did, I dumped my bag and legged it. Plus confusing numbers on walls nothing to do with race numbers. Go figure. Still this is BHF so I would do it again. Thanks for t-shirt and goody bag. Its a charity race so I expect NOTHING. Chuffed to get a little bag. Much appreciated. Well done BHF. Keep up the fab work. Nice to be involved in HM in nice countryside for a great cause.Date of review: March 24, 2014
In short: Well organised but the hills just keep coming!In full: I was told there were 2/3 main hills but it seemed to me that there were a few little ones in between as well! It was hard to PB due to the long AND hard slog (ouch hamstrings) but you can catch up on the downhills IF you can handle the pain the following day - ouch quads. Well organised: good loos, marshalls who really made a difference with their supportive comments and baggage drop military style! But I won't do this race again, too painful and combining runners and traffic is an accident waiting to happen. Date of review: March 3, 2013
In short: Beautiful - but only skin deepIn full: This race takes you on an epic route, sights of London and the parks in all their autumn glory (especially in the stunning sunshine we had), it truly is beautiful to look at.However this race's beauty is only skin deep. For me the atmosphere was just not there. Just not friendly enough. Was it all them Londoners thinking they were still on the tube? I am from the Styx but I do like my races with a bit of joy in them. Plus SO many peeps running with headphones. So many times I just wanted to chat or smile or have a little moan to someone but it seemed like almost everyone was shut off in their own world. :-( Practically speaking headphone make it hard to overtake people and say Excuse me, as they can't hear you. This was an issue as the race was busy and crowded with a couple of bottle-necks. Plus some marshals were not so good at keeping things safe - several spectators ran across my path, trying to dodge the runners. Loo queue terrible, baggage drop, didn't even bother. Organisation nuffink special. Missed my goody bag, t-shirt terrible. I-phone app good for timings, but not working on the day for my supporters to track me.How to improve? 1. Ban headphones 2. Sort out nutter spectators, 3. More toilets (OF COURSE) 4. Later races start for people coming from outside London. 5. Make app work during race 6. Help people feel the JOY!Date of review: October 26, 2012
In short: Enough with the hills!In full: The Good: Fantastic organisation, lively atmosphere, road closures, lots of water stations and loo stations along the route (yey for someone who over-hydrated slightly!), great marshalling, good support, big runners village area, great for warm-up and warm-down, central to town, plenty parking and Starbucks nearby. Great park nearby for supporters and families. Corralling worked nicely, very clear. Lucozade after. T-shirt good. Finish times sent by text within minutes! V impressed.The Bad: Humongous queue for loos before race (why can no one ever get this right?) A dozen or so loos for 3000-odd runners? Hmmm. Good job they had lots of loos on the course (tho if I'd been chasing a PB I'd have been scuppered). Queuing meant I didn't get chance to look round the runners village - there were sponsors stalls and trainer shops. Didn't get a banana. :-( Needed a banana. Don't be giving me your ice lolly (grump).The Ugly: The hills and my poor knees. This was my first HM (2h22m). None of the hills was that steep but some were loooooong and they just kept coming for 13 miles. You're always either going up or you're going down. Both hurty hurty.Date of review: June 10, 2012
In short: PB highly unlikely - and all for the wrong reasons! In full: Unless you start out at the front of this course, you'll be caught in at least 3 bottlenecks - one before a kissing gate and two before some (steep) downward steps. I had about 20 folks queuing in front of me 3 times, we were all standing still for 15-20 seconds each time. Bye bye PB and hello cramp. Also the track is narrow in many places so you can't overtake when you need to. Nearly came cropper.Terrain is rough underfoot so watch your ankles. In fact you spend so much time looking down the scenery is neither here nor there. I know the organisers rave about the beauty of the countryside on the route but IMHO it's nothing special... Green and rural yes but overall this run feels cramped and claustrophobic.Water station at 5k? Might as well not have bothered - please use bottles instead, plastic cups are impossible to drink from on the move! Or provide a space to stop/slow down by the water tables, it was too narrow. Or put the water stations near the 3 bottlenecks so at least we can rehydrate while we're standing still. No baggage deposit - a definite negative - lots of freezing cold runners as we had to leave jackets etc in the car. With the 20 minute walk to the start line there were lots of chattering jaws and cold muscles. Car parking was already full when we got there so we squeezed in on the side of the road - a 10 minute walk away. There was a long and cold queue for the Portaloos even though there were about 10 of them. More for next year perhaps?A fair few inclines on the route - in fact it seemed like one long climb with 2/3 sharp descents/steps. Seemed to be a good event for families, 2k, lots of kids around, bouncy castle, burgers etc. Medal, water and bananas on finishing. Nice touch having prizes for 200th and 400th position but goodies for all would be better.I might consider this one again but it's not a race I enjoyed much. As you can tell. Positives: timing chips worked well and the signs at the start allowing you to get into position according to your estimated finish time.Date of review: May 21, 2012
In short: Killer hill to the finish line can kill your PB!In full: Nice country route, lovely friendly marshals, nice bananas and running bottles in goody bag. Well organised from school lots of warm up opportunities, good bag drop. Thanks to all the rotary helpers - much appreciated smiles.MINOR gripe 1 - Big bottleneck at start through small gate - bye bye PB - unless you're at the front. This was silly and annoying. You start running then you have to stop. Why not do a lap of the football pitch to thin the crowd out a bit first?MINOR gripe 2 - The route should come with a health warning! It's very gently undulating for 6.1 nice country miles then there's a really steep 200m hill up to the finish line! It's an absolute killer because if you're anywhere near your PB you're going to try and hammer it up the hill so you don't lose your time. Plus if you've not left much in the tank you're gonna really feel the hill. I do think they should give people a little reminder at some point, Tired + Unexpected Hill = Injury Potential. MAJOR gripe now - Why oh why did you make us stop running so abruptly at the end? There was the finish line, yey, then a single file funnel for stopwatch recording. It meant we all had to stop sprinting over the finish to a dead stop. NOT good for us, not good for muscles, had huge muscle recovery issues because of the abrupt stop. Especially after that hill. Let us jog down for a minute at least - there was space back there. I know you don't have timing chips, but no matter - most folks know their time anyway, there's no rush to clock it down on paper, I'd rather slow down properly please. Timing chips would resolve this issue, I'd pay an extra couple of quid. Overall I would do it again but it is my local. Date of review: May 10, 2012

DOG DAY AFTERNOON It was raining cats and dogs on Sept. 29 when Operation Kindness planned to hold its annual pet-friendly festival. The group — North Texas' oldest and largest no-kill animal shelter — will try again this Sunday, and here's hoping it will be a ruff time instead of a rough time.

GLASS ON THE TRACKS Vetro, a glassblowing studio and gallery located by the tracks of the Grapevine Vintage Railroad, auctions off glass works during this annual event. Those visitors who bid high enough to meet or exceed the artist's secret reserve price take the artwork with them. But if the price isn't met, the piece is smashed in Vetro's "glass guillotine." The shards from last year's shattered items were used to make a new artwork, which will be up for bid this year with proceeds benefiting EASL (Emergency Artists' Support League). The party in the parking lot also includes glassblowing demonstrations, pyrotechnics by Greg Schaatt and a performance by Austin musician Graham Wilkinson. 6 to 10 p.m. Saturday at Vetro Glassblowing Studio and Gallery, 701 S.

It returns to the Majestic Theatre in its third Dallas engagement for two performances each on successive Saturdays. Max McLean continues to play the title character — a high-ranking member of the diabolical hierarchy who offers a fresh young devil advice on how best to lure people into transgression so that they don't even realize they're being tempted. Lewis, a respected British literary scholar, has become one of the world's most popular religious writers thanks to the original Screwtape Letters and his children's series The Chronicles of Narnia. 4 and 8 p.m. this Saturday and Nov. 10 at 4 and 8 p.m. at the Majestic, 1925 Elm St., Dallas. $39-$89. 214-880-0202. screwtapeonstage.com. — Lawson Taitte
BURYING OUR FATHER: A BIBLICAL DEBACLE The supremely talented performing artists Fred Curchack and Laura Jorgensen bring their latest collaboration to Undermain Theatre. In this fantastical tale, Isaac and Ishmael meet to bury their father Abraham in the cave that has become one of the most revered and violently contested holy sites in history. In typical Curchack-Jorgensen fashion, the show features a mix-up of drama, comedy, music, dance, and light-and-shadow magic. Through Nov. 17 at 3200 Main St., Dallas. $10-$25. 214-747-5515. undermain.org. — Joy Tipping

Ken Dyleski helps Save Mount Diablo with mapping and on-the-ground stewardship work. He collaborated on producing the first edition of the Mt. Diablo map published by Save Mt. Diablo. His GPS enabled digital trail map of the Diablo Grand Loop was published on the National Geographic Topo site. He has a California State Certificate in Geographic Information Science from Diablo Valley College. Mr. Dyleski's previous articles on the outdoors have been published in Sierra magazine, Northern California Explorer, and the Tahoe Daily Tribune.
Using an overlay of several scenic and historic trails, this haute route of the East Bay skyline gives simultaneous eye popping views of the coast, interior valleys and urban icons. The Golden Gate and new Bay Bridges, Pacific Ocean, Alcatraz, Mt. Tam, San Pablo Bay, Mt. Diablo, Vollmer Peak, countless parks and cities are seen from a new and revealing perspective. If you've never walked any of the Bay Rim Trail this is a great introduction and will show you what the excitement is all about. Portions of the Seaview, Skyline, Ridge, Rim, American Discovery, Mokolumne Coast to Crest, and the 1200 mi. National Park Service Juan Bautista de Anza trails have adopted this crest hugging pathway. The final 3 trail miles descend from 1905 ft. Vollmer Peak and enter cooler shady woodlands following the Caldecott Wildlife Corridor, ending at the Sibley Volcanic Preserve Staging Area.
This one way hike needs a little advanced planning, with a car drop at Sibley Staging Area first, and a second car used to transport hikers to Inspiration Point in Tilden Regional Park. The Sibley and Tilden Regional Park maps are available at the parks or on line at ebparks.org and are necessary to navigate the route's numerous junctions. Begin at the Curran Trail sign near the large rock Nimitz Way Trail pillars next to the Inspiration Point parking area. Take the Curran .13 mi. to the signed Seaview Trail junction, and take the Seaview left up to Wildcat Canyon Road. Carefully cross the road directly to the Seaview trail sign continuing up hill and left, now on a wide dirt fire road. Pace yourself on the steep climb as it passes junctions with the Quarry and Lower Big Springs trails. After passing through shady tree groves and possibly muddy trail sections even in summer, the route becomes high, dry, and rocky, and the best views begin. A high spot on the right contains a rock spiral, picnic table and two benches giving an amazing rest spot viewpoint. This is the perfect spot to contemplate our time in history, reflecting on the multicultural Anza expedition which founded San Francisco in 1776. Check out the fascinating link with a YouTube movie beforehand at : www.nps.gov/juba/index.htm
Continue on .46 mi. past the Upper Big Springs trail junction watching carefully on the right for a notch in the chest high vegetation for the trail sign marking the Arroyo Trail. You can take the Arroyo Trail which immediately splits, staying left on the Vollmer Peak trail down to the Tilden Steam Trains parking Area. Or, continue on the paved sevice road up to the Vollmer Peak summit. The summit is covered by communications towers.
From the Steam Trains parking area, cross the paved Lomas Cantadas street to the trail sign marking the Bay Ridge/Skyline Trail and enter EBMud land. This segment does not require a hiking permit. Hike carefully through a trimmed back thicket of poison oak, pass the Berkeley Hills Reservoir water storage tank, and reach the trail crossing over Fish Ranch Road. Soon enter Sibley Preserve, and then walk through the short paved Old Tunnel Road Staging Area. The trail becomes dirt again at an informational sign explaining the importance of the Caldecott Wildlife Corridor. Finish the hike by enjoying the interesting woodsy habitat while ascending alongside Round Top Creek .87 mi. to the Sibley parking area. Total elevation gain over the length of this hike is approximately 1400 ft.

Leafs Off Season: Search for a Defenseman
As it stands right now the Leafs have six NHL experienced defensemen under contract and another three who are restricted free agents. Assuming all three of the RFA's get re-signed it leaves the Leafs with 7 defensemen, five of which will be regulars (Phaneuf, Schenn, Gunnarsson, Aulie and Komisarek) and two that are more along the lines of depth defensemen (Lebda and Lashoff). Phaneuf and Schenn are the top two guys (though they may not end up playing together) and depending on where you see Gunnarsson and Aulie fitting into the mix the Leafs will be looking for a #3,» Read more

Dunkirk to vote on more than school budget
The school budget vote is fast approaching on May 21. However, Dunkirk City School District voters will have more than just the budget to consider.
Board of Education President Kenneth Kozlowski said the district will ask voters to take an exit poll to see if they favor going to one polling place in the future.
"We were talking about maybe having one polling place, changing it from the spots we have now to one centralized location … It could save us some money … it might work better. We will see where people are," he said.
Superintendent Gary Cerne explained the district is already looking to save money for next year by asking voters if they would prefer a singular polling place.
"There will be a flier on the tables when people come out (of voting) and there will just be one question: In order to save money would you be in favor of moving all the polling places to the high school?" And we are just looking for people to say yes or no. And again the only reason we are doing this is to save some money. We already know it is going to be another tough budget year next year so we are looking for way now we could save a few dollars," he said.
Kozlowski said a potential polling place in the future would be the high school auxiliary gym.
"That's a good idea," Board Member David Damico added.
Polling places for the May 21 vote will be at School Seven in the first ward, the administrative building in the second ward, School Four in the third ward and Murray Hose Co. for the fourth ward. Polls will be open from noon to 9 p.m.
There will also be three board of education seats up for election; two three-year terms currently held by Kozlowski and Linda Guy and the one-year remainder of Roosevelt Haynes term.
Business Administrator William Thiel also presented the public hearing of the budget. Thiel explained the total proposed 2013-2014 budget is $40,923,396. He said there were a $719,244 increase in expenditures from 2012-2013 which were offset by increases in state and federal aid. This allowed the district keep the tax levy at $9,614,516.
He said this equates to a full-value tax rate of $18.88 per $1,000 assessed valuation, however actual tax amounts will not be available until final assessments and equalization rates are completed later in the summer.
Thiel showed a chart of Chautauqua County schools where Dunkirk is one of three to keep the tax levy at no increase, one was able to decrease the levy and maximum increase was 5.67 percent.
Cerne said the retirement incentive helped the district present a flat tax levy to the voters for the sixth year.
"This again was a tough budget season but again I think the product we are putting out there to the voters is an outstanding budget. Who else around has a flat levy, who else around isn't laying anyone off, who else around is actually going to be hiring some people? … I would like to thank everyone, it was a great team effort. I just hope the public is going to come out on May 21 and vote," he said.

Attempted murder suspect arraigned
Seated in court in a blue jumpsuit, wearing leg shackles and handcuffs, Minot State University football player Jesse Devon Ili, 21, West Covina, Calif., told Northwest District Judge Richard Hagar that he had "never done crime, never been arrested and it was never my intention."
Ili, also known as Jesse Tauiliili, made his initial court appearance at the Ward County Courthouse in Minot Tuesday afternoon on charges of attempted murder, preventing arrest, assault on a police officer, refusal to halt, possession of marijuana and ingestion of a controlled substance. The senior linebacker transferred to MSU from Fresno State University in California and was practicing with the football team prior to his arrest.
Ili was initially scheduled to appear via interactive video but requested to make a personal appearance before Hagar, who granted the request. Several minutes later Ili shuffled from the jail to the courtroom accompanied by four deputies.
Jessie Lang, Fargo, was the attorney representing Ili. Lang was not present but was connected to the courtroom by telephone. "My client fully intends to respond to these charges," said Lang.
The most prominent charge against Ili, attempted murder, a Class A felony, carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in jail, a fine of $20,000 or both. The charge stems from an incident Friday night when police responded to a call of a suspicious vehicle and possible narcotics use in the 1300 block of Eighth Street Northwest. Two police officers, Brandon Schmidt and Erik Laudenschlager, were transported to Trinity Hospital as the result of an altercation involving Ili during the traffic stop.
According to an affidavit of probable cause filed with the court, "Ili was one of six people in a GMC Yukon that was stopped by the officers who noted a strong smell of marijuana coming from the vehicle. Laudenschlager noticed Ili, who was seated in the back seat, began moving and acting nervous."
Laudenschlager asked Ili to exit the vehicle. Ili was initially compliant but refused to keep his hands behind his back. After one hand was handcuffed Ili pushed an officer and began to run. A taser used to subdue Ili proved ineffective when the probes became dislodged. Schmidt was attempting to handcuff Ili. Laudenschlager, who was now pursuing another suspect who was fleeing the scene, gave up the chase after hearing Schmidt call for help.
A second taser was used on Ili, who continued to fight with Laudenschlager. It was when Laudenschlager was falling backwards that he activated his taser a second time. At that point the suspect was disabled enough to be handcuffed.
According to the affidavit, "Schmidt was overpowered by the suspect. The suspect was holding Officer Schmidt by the head and repeatedly slamming his head into a retaining wall post. Officer Laudenschlager observed that Officer Schmidt's body appeared to be limp and unconscious."
During Tuesday's court appearance, Ward County State's Attorney Rozanna Larson recommended bond be set at $250,000 cash. Lang countered that the amount was "out of reach, obviously," asking that it be reduced to $20,000.
"This isn't a plot and my client is not a danger to the public," said Lang. "He is a student pursuing a degree in mathematics."
"Anybody who attacks police officers, almost kills one, is a danger to society. This was an attack on two officers," countered Larson.
Hagar set bond at $200,000. He also scheduled Ili for a preliminary hearing Oct. 11 and a pre-trial conference Dec. 18. Ili was ordered to submit to a DNA sample, consume no alcohol and make no contact with the officers involved in the arrest.
Four other Minot State football players were arrested last Friday and charged with possession of marijuana and ingestion of a controlled substance. Two of them appeared via interactive video before Hagar Tuesday.
Grant J. Jansen, 18, Roseville, Calif., entered a guilty plea. He was assessed $525 in costs and ordered to complete alcohol and drug evaluation.
Thomas D. Boles-Armstrong, 19, Omaha, Neb., also entered a guilty plea, telling Hagar, "I'm a college student on the football team. This will never happen again."
Two other MSU players, Kwajo S. Bonsu, 22, Chino Hill, Calif., and Leon L. LaDeaux, 21, Port Orchard, Wash., posted bond prior to Tuesday's hearings. The sixth person who fled the scene was still being sought late Tuesday.

Gantz is on chapter 337 now. The first 200 or so chapters were absolutly amazing. It started to fall off a little bit around 300, but the first 200 or so chapters are insane.
Beware of the Kyubii
Stev3child - The biggest pussy of them all is rokudaime sennin though. If he was a real man, he wouldn't have relied on hax god-given powers to seal the Jyubi. He would have suplexed that bitch and ripped each tail from the beast one by one with his bare hands.
Seeing your taste, I personally recommend you Dragon Head, a well-done post-apocalyptic story. Billy Bat and Pluto are other works from Naoki Urasawa, a safe bet if you liked Monster, 20CB. You'll also like The World Is Mine, though it's sort of a more difficult seinen to read than others mentioned here. Yokohama Kaidashi Kidou is a relaxed, not thrilling, yet good post-apocalyptic manga.
Sadly enough i haven't read all that many seinen so i don't know what exactly you like by these series so i'll just give you the ones i liked.
Vagabond has a bit of an annoying pace to me but is incredible both story and artwise. Sadly enough the author stopped it and is unknown if it will continue or not
As mentioned before Berserk, although i have to warn you at that one since there is some seriously mindbreaking stuff in there, read at own risk. Release rate is slow though.
And currently reading title Hokuto no Ken/Fist of the North star, pretty straightforward series but immensily enjoying it, yes it has cliches in comparison to todays series but keep in mind that this series only began in 1983.
Don't be a cocky bastard....check out Toriko! http://www.mangareader.net/349/toriko.html

(I didnt express it in bakers percents because I think thats pretty useless when youre working with only a pound of flour.)
Pete - any ideas on the 'almost' croissant style of crust from Tommy's? I feel like the recipe needs more oil added to it.
Thanks Aimless Ryan. Let me know if you have any photos to share. Pete - any ideas on the 'almost' croissant style of crust from Tommy's? I feel like the recipe needs more oil added to it.
I, too, did some experimenting with the layered/lamination approach for a cracker-style pizza. I decribed my results at Reply 1 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,5173.msg43961.html#msg43961.
Thanks Pete-zza. I know you're loving the fact that I used the dough calculator to express the formula in baker's percents this time, unlike my first post (even though both of these formulas are pretty useless so far).
DO roll the dough at least 16 hours before you intend to use it if youre going to refrigerate it. Two days is probably better. (This is what gives Tommy's the blisters on the bottom.
I use a bamboo skewer to pop those bubbles in the middle of the pie, it lays them right down. I only get them in the kitchen oven, not the WFO, I wonder why?
Papageorgio: When you say Crisco, do you specifically mean solid shortening, or do you just mean oil in general?

Customer Service And Gay Marriage
To the Readers' Forum:
Two points with one letter: I wonder how many customer service employees attitudes would change if they were paid what they're worth. Customer service should mean something, focusing on the customer and not stupid sidebar stuff like their personal life or expecting their employers to give them more money and more hours. Waitresses are paid squat and rely on how well they treat their customers … why shouldn't the cashier, the stock boy and the sales clerk who has general information of basically nothing, because it's just a job to them?
Point number two on gay marriages: You're a hypocrite if you're protesting gay marriage, all the while saying nothing about divorce. I find gays to be more honest, fun and willing to duke it out when chips are down as compared to heteros who've been married two or more times. Marriage is supposed to be forever, is it not? Learn to take care of your own flock first before worrying about what someone else is doing.

Super Talent, a well-known supplier of premium flash and DRAM products, has announced a new series of USB 3.0 flash drives with DRAM cache that speeds-up their performance. According to the manufacturer, the DRAM cache can improve small block random performance by up to three times. The new drives are around 30% more expensive than traditional.
"We have made the first, fastest, hardware encrypted, and most affordable USB flash 3.0 flash drives, now with the Express RAM cache, we are offering affordable cache support on USB 3.0. Adding RAM Cache to our USB 3.0 Express Drive line-up raises the bar we have establish with our first three USB 3.0 products and reiterates our commitment and leadership in the USB 3.0 space," said CH Lee, chief operating officer at Super Talent.

As the file size decreases and the file count increase, this time savings becomes even more apparent, the company said.
Unfortunately, Super Talent did not reveal any actual performance characteristics of the USB 3.0 Express RAM cache drives.

The Glazers and the "Rich List": why Forbes can't add up
52 comments:
Given the Bucs have started 2-0 (against admittedly weak opposition) and are getting excellent play from their young players, your comment about their playing squad once again reveals your ignorance about the realities of the NFL.
Stick to the comments about business and football, mate. There, you actually know what you're talking about.
- 24 September 2010 at 06:39
Well Said,Anders keep to talking about things you understand cause its clear you Know Little about NFL and a little bit about Finance
- 24 September 2010 at 07:13
Anders doesn't need to know anything about the NFL to comment, he's not saying who the money should be invested in exactly but answering the rhetoric over the last few years that the Bucs squad has seriously lacked investment.
United fans don't really care about the Bucs anyway, they're just an interesting barometer, nothing more.
Thanks again for the insight.
- 24 September 2010 at 08:29
- andersred said...
Hi guys,
I'm not claiming I know anything about the NFL. What I do know is that (according to figures from the players' union quoted in this article: http://bit.ly/crELWt) the Bucs have the lowest wage bill in the NFL.
Maybe that's just great strategy, I couldn't say.
The point of the post is that Forbes numbers don't stack up.
- 24 September 2010 at 08:41
And at times Anders neither do yours,instead of giving a straight and a set of figures all you have done is give a set of what ifs,Perhaps the Glazers have wealth or other businesses that do not appear in public,just a thought.And it is clear that the Glazers have the continued support of the banks and thats vital
- 24 September 2010 at 13:10
- andersred said...
Let me know which of my numbers don't add up John and I'll correct them....
- 24 September 2010 at 13:31
So this retail land, has no value as land?
- 24 September 2010 at 14:08
- andersred said...
It has value as land, it has value as a shopping centre. Gross value. The net equity value (less the mortgage debt) could well be zero or negative. Such is the world of property.

Dear Andy,
I am a Man U fan from India and hate the Glazers. I do follow your blog regularly and quite admire the work you put in.
However there are times I feel uncertain. I feel hypocrisy. You are from the Finance industry. The leader of the Red Knights is chap from Merryl Lynch. Can you cross your heart and swear that in your career in the industry you guys have never been part of (in some form ) an LBO ? Maybe advised a team for an LBO ? The problems faced by Man U are typical of that in any LBO. So why hate the Glazers only ? Is it because this time , the asset / entity being bought is dear to us ?
- 24 September 2010 at 14:20
- andersred said...
Hi prasunbanerjee,
I have been involved in LBOs, through two routes; having companies I have invested in being bought out in LBOs and I have also invested in private equity funds (I say this in the "about me" section of the blog).
I'm not opposed to LBOs, just LBOs of football clubs which are businesses with a key social function.
- 24 September 2010 at 14:40
But in that case anders you cant blame the Glazers for their LBO of our club - you should blame the football regulators who allow it to happen.
- 24 September 2010 at 14:58
- andersred said...
I do blame the regulators. It's a transaction that wouldn't be allowed in a lot of countries (nor in the NFL).
- 24 September 2010 at 15:00
But the Fact is when man utd was made a public company then anybody could of bought it,the fact the glazers bought it is not the point,anyone could of,regardless of where they money came from.Why did the Red Knight Group not get involved in 2005??
- 24 September 2010 at 15:29
From what I understand, some of the RKs were involved in 2005 - they were involved in selling their shares to the Glazers for a healthy profit !
- 24 September 2010 at 15:44
- andersred said...
Hi anonymous,
Which RKsare you talking about? Jim O'Neill was on the pic board that opposed the bid...
- 24 September 2010 at 15:54
But maybe they had small shareholdings which could collectively have prevented any takeover,Look at the Irish Duo who nearly had control(28% or something)Why did the red knights or must not join with them and use might have got Fan base ownership.But my view is that football is worth too much money to alot of people for it to be handed over to total fan ownership,Maybe a place on the board but nothing more
- 24 September 2010 at 16:21
To be honest it was just a throw away comment - I assumed some of the RK group must have been shareholders at the time and made a good profit on the sale of their shares at the time.
As you mention, O'Neill was a director so I assume he was also a shareholder and eventually sold to the Glazers?
- 24 September 2010 at 16:21
Never mind talking about Irish clowns Perhaps Anders could explain his views as to WHY the Red Knights have taken so long to raise enough money to make a bid for the club,is it lack of funds or what?
- 24 September 2010 at 16:33
- andersred said...
Anonymous @16.21
When the Glazers went over 90% they were able to force everyone to sell anyway. I was a shareholder and I sold. There was no choice....
Anonymous @16.33
Can I refer you to this quote by Paul Marshall (from this article http://bit.ly/9Q9oSF):
"Marshall told me that the Red Knights was a settled group of interested investors, many from abroad. "The potential funding that we have uncovered is much more than we expected," he said. Now, he added, it was a matter of waiting for the Red Knight and the Glazer valuations of Manchester United to coincide. "We are delighted to wait while the Glazers acclimatise themselves to the double dip.""
- 24 September 2010 at 16:54
But anders you failed to address Why the red Knights(if they had a shareholding in the club)did not join together at the time of the takeover to block them and why did supporters groups fail to buy enough shares to block any takeover or not join with the Irish Guys,Why wait till after the event to complain when little or nothing can be done when they have support from banks and no effect on tickets this term judging by reading the papers 50000+ tickets out of 54000 available correct?
- 24 September 2010 at 17:08
- andersred said...
The Red Knights didn't exist as a group in 2005 and the supporters clearly failed to acquire a stake. It's ancient history to a certain extent.
I wouldn't be so dismissive of the fall in ticket demand. You've gone from a situation of a huge waiting list and oversubscribed members' ballots to one with surplus season tickets and all but the big games on general sale...
This is a long game we are playing here.
- 24 September 2010 at 17:19
So why did they form then?Surely if they had an interest in the future of the club then they could of done so when Shares could be bought instead of trying or waiting(and it could be a long one) to remove the present owners,I know its alot of whys and buts,but why wait till 2009 to make an issue of the glazers in a big way
- 24 September 2010 at 17:25
In answer to your question John about why there was no attempt to buy the club pre 2005, perhaps the simplest answer is everyone was caught napping. A then director Greg Dyke said the board thought by keeping the club debt free, successful on the field, funding purchases when the manager asked and keeping prices affordable while expanding the ground to increase spectator numbers and revenues, they were doing everything right. If you like, that it was only less successful or distressed companies that needed new investment that would be the subject of takeovers. So there was an element of complacency. It was also the case that when the Glazers first acquired a stake they said they were not interested in mounting a takeover. The Glazers also pushed through a shareholder resolution that prevented the club from buying back shares that would have been one way of stopping the takeover. The Coolmore Two had the maximum stake permissible without having to launch a full takeover so could sit pretty till someone like the Glazers came along to give them a handsome profit. And the fiasco with SAF and Rock of Gibraltar certainly meant they had no romantic reasons to support the club if it came to a takeover battle. Anders is correct, once the Glazers had bought the Coolmore stake and other shareholdings to acquire an unassailable position, they were able to compulsorily purchase all the shares. I too, as a United shareholder, made a handsome profit, but not out of choice! Ultimately, that is all water under the bridge, hindsight gives everyone 20/20 vision. What matters is what happens from here. The Glazers are gradually destroying the club, the only questions are how long before they go, and how much will it cost to repair the damage they have wrought.
- 24 September 2010 at 19:09
"I'm not opposed to LBOs"
"I was a shareholder and I sold"
So you faciltated the Glazer buy-out and are now feeling guilty??
- 25 September 2010 at 02:23
"I'm not opposed to LBOs"
"I was a shareholder and I sold"
So you faciltated the Glazer buy-out and are now feeling guilty??"
Do you simply not understand English?
LBOs can have their place, but not in football which is not a 'normal' business.
The Glazers were able to compulsorily purchase all shares. Compulsorily means you could not stop them.
if you don't understand, go to some English classes or buy a dictionary.
- 25 September 2010 at 04:50
Do People understand,The Fans could of blocked the takeover back in 2005 by joining/clubing together and purchasing a blocking stake but no they took the Glazers money and now want to complain about it,And anders you claim to be of been a shareholder well at what point did you sell and what kind of money did you make by selling out,and am i right in understanding that you played a role in putting in place these pik loans or in helping the Glazers with Finance at the time?Did you meet the Glazers or there reps at any stage and why did it take you so long to speak up
- 25 September 2010 at 09:40
Very good points.
Anders' motivations have been a concern with this blog from the beginning.
The feeling is there that he is more anti-Glazer than pro-United.
The willingness to promote a season ticket boycott to hurt club finances is suspect especially when the Red Knights themselves accept the Glazer were never going to sell.

John, what the hell are you talking about?
"And anders you claim to be of been a shareholder well at what point did you sell and what kind of money did you make by selling out,and am i right in understanding that you played a role in putting in place these pik loans or in helping the Glazers with Finance at the time?Did you meet the Glazers or there reps at any stage and why did it take you so long to speak up"
I sold my £500 of shares when they were compulsorily purchased by the Glazers, it's the law. The money has been in the MUST Phoenix fund ever since.
I had no role in putting in place the PIKs nor did I have anything to do with any of the financing. I was on the other side of the barricades flash mobbing the megastore in 2005...
I have never met any of the Glazers though I'd like to as I have a couple of things to say to them!
and Anonymous,
I can assure you I am far more pro-United than anti-Glazer. I'll be in Valencia on Wednesday cheering on the lads so come and say hi if you're there.
- 25 September 2010 at 14:36
So anders you had nothing to do with the Glazer takeover at all?Correct?At what stage did you become involved with must?and why all the focus on companies that have no effect on Manchester?Have you ever requested a meeting with the Senior Management of the club to discuss your issues and perhaps you could publish proof of such a request the same way you have with Letters From Mr David Gill and yourself.And what are if any your links with must and the red knights?
Just trying to build a clear picture of yourself and your views expressed here

What do you mean by 'Manchester'. Manchester is a city in the north of England and a metropolitan county. Within its boundaries are several professional clubs, including Manchester City, Manchester United, Oldham, Bury, Bolton, Rochdale to name just 6. If you knew the slightest thing about England or football, you would know this. You also seem to have no idea of company law and share dealing in England. So where are you coming from?
Just trying to build a clear picture of yourself and your views expressed here.
- 25 September 2010 at 16:16
What are you on about ja,All i asked was if Andy was a shareholder and at what point did he sell?What is wrong with that?All i have asked is what part if any andy played in the takeover as i thought he had,All i have asked is if Andy has Asked or seeked a meeting with the Senior Management team at manchester United?All i have asked is what links does Andy have with must and the red knights?
What is wrong with the questions above,i dont find any thing wrong with them and perhaps andy will take a period of time to address all the Questions above
- 25 September 2010 at 16:45
Andy has already answered your questions. Now perhaps you can answer mine? Namely what is your background as you appear to have no understanding of football and no understanding of geography in England and no understanding of company law in England. So again, what direction are you coming from? And why the sudden interest when you have clearly made no attempt to do some research of your own.
- 25 September 2010 at 17:28
John is not putting himself forward as a supposed expert in anything. Why would he need to explain himself to you?
Anders is not an accountant but that doesn't stop him giving a view on the financial position of United.
Anders' view should be seen as that of a fund manager valuing a company.
He should not be seen as an expert on financial results as much as an accountant would be.
Where was Anders when the Glazers were buying the club?
It appears there was little or no objection from him when he was profiting from their purchase.

Enough of this rubbish,
I had a small personal holding in Manchester United plc (a few hundred pounds) in 2005 which I bought as a small attempt to STOP a takeover. I didn't want to sell it but was forced to do so because that is the LAW in such takeovers. The money is now sitting in the MUST Phoenix fund in the hope that one day it can be used to buy a stake in the club.
You obviously don't understand the difference between accountants and fund managers. It is the job of fund managers to ANALYSE companies and their results. It is the job of accountants (auditors) to help companies draw up their accounts.
You have no idea what I did or did not do in 2005, but I was involved in a small way in the protests and attempts to stop the takeover.
My only link with the Red Knights is through my role as an advisor to MUST.
I hope that is clear. This blog is not about me, it is about football finance and the Glazers. Either engage on those issues or don't comment at all please. Unlike various people hiding behind "Anonymous" log-ins it is 100% clear who I am.
- 25 September 2010 at 18:51
It is not rubbish Andy, all I am doing is gaining a bigger picture of yourself and background .YOU answered must of my questions but you failed to address as to if you have raised your issues or that of must with senior management of the club. Now in your job as a fund manager what would your Professional view of any bid containing many individuals for Manchester Utd?
My view is that debt in business is important and would be the case in many businesses around the world. All you need to be able to do is service that debt and maintain the support of your banking partners, which it seems the glazers have been able to do. HOWEVER I understand that many fans feel that this is a problem but in reality it happens in many cases in business including my own
I look forward to your next post and maybe can I suggest you look at what the Glazers own personally. It might be interesting
- 25 September 2010 at 19:54
I thought it was the job of financial analysts to "ANALYSE companies and their results".
What exactly is it that fund managers "manange"??
- 26 September 2010 at 17:28
- andersred said...
What point are you trying to make here?
Fund Managers have to analyse companies to decide which to invest in. Analysts (buy side or sell side) also analyse companies. So do corporate financiers. A minority of people in these roles are accountants. You don't have to be an accountant to work in such roles. In my career I have done corporate finance, been a buy side analyst and a fund manager.
But so what?
If you have a problem with the analysis I publish on here then let's debate that. Point out what you disagree with. If you aren't willing to do so, take you poorly spelt comments elsewhere please.
- 26 September 2010 at 19:18
And any answer to my questions with regard to debt and investing in manchester utd along with IF must or yourself have ever asked for a meeting with the Senior Management Team of the Club and could you provide evidence of such a meeting
- 26 September 2010 at 20:09
Ha ha, thanks for the spelling lesson - I love your grammer: "take you poorly spelt comments".
An English major you're not but thanks anyway.
The whole point that has been made is that your background is on the investing side of things i.e. the VALUATION of companies.
Thus, this is why your emphasis is on EBITDA even though Interest is a REAL expense, Tax is a REAL expense, Players need to be replaced (Amortisation), and the stadium/Carrington needs to be maintained/upgraded from time-to-time (Depreciation).
EBITDA is a good measure for valuing a company but not necessarily for assessing performance. It leaves too many important items out.
- 26 September 2010 at 21:04
Good work Anders. I've been reading the blog for months now and just wanted to say how much I enjoy it. You're doing something worthwhile.
Also you're obviously hitting a nerve as the smear campaign appears to have begun in earnest on this comment section. So keep up the good work.
I think it's obvious what someone's motives are when they try to imply that a compulsory sale of share is somehow "profiteering".
John - If you want to retain any credibility as a genuine poster on this blog, I suggest you volunteer some information on the reason for your interest. You seem remarkably hostile towards a blog that is essentially published financial data, with someone's opinion on it. You must be running out of stamps writing to the Financial Times, if that is your true raison d'être.

My Interest is As a fan of a Football Club and also a Business that has been the victim of alot of one sided Press over the past year.
Yes Andy is a well educated Guy and i am Full of respect for what he has done with this Blog.Now i disagree with some of his Figures in terms of Valuation of the Club and that of Other Glazer Family Interests and by publically taking sides in this Debate.All i have done is ask Andy a number of Questions which Andy has Kindly amswered.Now I Dont Claim to be a Finance Expert at the Same Level as Andy But i Do think that Andy has been Somewhat One sided in his reporting,Not disputing that his Figures are Mainly Correct.All i ask is that Andy comes clean so to speak and Outlines his Views on The Proposed Takeover Of this Proud Club and Hugely Successful Business by a large Group of Individual Investors in the Same depths he has Outlined his views and Educated Opinions of the Glazer Family Ownership of the Biggest Brands in World Football.

Good article, Anders, this is well thought-out and is yet another piece that ably dismantles the myth that the Glazers are rich, responsible businessmen.
I think some of the people on here don't disagree because they are plonkers but rather for one or both of the following reasons:
1. They love their club so much they decieve themselves into thinking we're just as strong as before and just can't bring themselves to face the truth.
2. They haven't managed to understand the financial details outlined in the blog.
All this makes me feel sorry for those who don't see what's coming but also angry that more people won't wake up to the truth.

The Glazers are here to stay. They are waiting for the Nike sponsorship and merchandising deal to be renewed. This will pay off their PIKS and other high interest loans.
- 27 September 2010 at 13:01
John - Thanks for your response, although personally I've never been a fan of the business just the club. I agree that much of the reporting has been slightly one-sided, but I would describe it consistent. I think this is because there is little in the way of financial good news coming from the club. (Unless you count "There's nothing to worry about - please keep buying shirts and tickets").
There has been a virtual zero net spend in the last three years and the team is going backwards. I wonder if anders is able to tell us how much revenue is hit by the team finishing 3rd/4th or 5th.
The statements made by the club are patronising at best. They ask to be treated like a business, without regulation. Yet if the fans did treat it like any other business they would have gone bust a long time ago. They are profiting on the rich history and cultural significance of an institution which I agree with you SHOULD be the biggest in the world. Under this regime it will not be. Their aim is for the minimum amount of success necessary to maintain revenue.
In response to your request that Anders explores the takeover group in the same depth, I would say;
1) That's a massive group of individuals. You can see the amount of work that's gone into this site, where would he get the time?
2) It obviously matters less who's putting 10 million into the club and getting a 1% share than a family who own the club outright.
3) They don't own MUFC, the Glazers do. When that changes maybe he'll refocus his attention
I realise you don't count yourself as a financial expert (neither do I), but you must have a grasp of figures in a senior management role. Look at the debt now, look at what it will be in 7 years, look at the lack of investment by the Glazers both on and off the field, look at the advances made by competitors at the same time. Now ask yourself the question "are they good for this club?"
- 27 September 2010 at 22:18
Nike's deal is up in 2015, Aon's in 2014. The PIK debt will be rolling up all the time. 5 years is a long time at 16.25%. And let's assume they better the £300M they got paid by Nike, who's going to pay that up front? And even if they do pay it up front and the Glazer's pay off the PIK debt. That's 30 million plus per year they won't be receiving in income that they currently are. Where do they make up the shortfall?
- 27 September 2010 at 22:24
- fattmatt said...
Last time the Nike sponsorship and merchandising deal was announced in 2000 nearly 2 years before the start. If the glazers can repeat this they can then borrow against the future earnings and pay the PIKS early in say 2013 for just over £300M (if they pay the 80% the hedge funds still own).
The Nike deal was £300M in 2002 so the next deal will perhaps be £500M+? Nike also agreed to pay half the net profits to MUFC for the first 5 years last time if they stayed in the top half and played in Europe (perhaps Anders knows how much this generated)
- 28 September 2010 at 11:52
- andersred said...
Hi fattmatt,
The 50% profit share hasn't generated any money for United at all. It's 50% of dividends from Manchester United Merchandising Ltd (a Nike subsidiary). That company runs the megastore (and online store), United soccer schools and licences the brand to other manufacturers. It has never paid a dividend.

For someone who is a Senior Manager you have yet to grasp the concept of where capital letters appear in a sentence.
My brother is a Corporate Director for a bank, he agrees with Andy's analysis and I assume he knows a lot more about Corporate Finance that you do.
If you are wondering about Andy's position on previous issues then I would suggest you go through the history and read the Blog and comments from the beginning.

Could somebody spare a minute to give me some info?
I was left some shares in MUFC, I know the last few were force-sold to the Glazers. When was this? How can I find out how much they were sold FOR, and where was the money put if the shareholder could not be contacted at the time? (had Alzheimers, not me, the person who gave me them)
ANY HELP much appreciated, have spent long time Googling all this and can't find out much.

E-Mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
ANAHEIM, Calif. (April 22, 2008) - Players for the U.S. Men's National Team are finishing their time with teams overseas and returning to their home base at the American Sports Center to begin preparations for a busy summer season.
National team players who are back in the gym this week are opposite Gabe Gardner (San Clemente, Calif.), middle blocker Ryan Millar (Palmdale, Calif.) - who both played for Sparkling Milan in Italy - and outside hitter Jim Polster (Laguna Niguel, Calif.). Also training in Anaheim are libero Aaron Mansfield (Sunnyvale, Calif.), libero Paul Muñoz (Huntington Beach, Calif.), setter Tyler Hildebrand (Mesa, Ariz.) and outside hitter Robert Tarr (Rockledge, Fla.).
Outside hitter Riley Salmon (League City, Texas) is expected back in the gym soon after completing the season in Italy.
Opposite Brook Billings (Santa Barbara, Calif.) and middle blocker Phil Eatherton (Glencoe, Mo.) should be back in Anaheim soon after their Polish team, AZS Czestochowa, finished second to Skra Belchatów in the Polish league playoffs. U.S. libero Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) played for Mlekpol AZS Olsztyn, which placed third.
Middle blocker David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) and setter Donald Suxho (Korce, Albania) could be seeing each other in the finals of the Turkish league playoffs. Lee's team, Halkbank, which is based in Ankara, has made it to the semifinals, where it will play Istanbul B.S.Bld. Suxho's team, Arkas, based in Izmir, will play Istanbul's Fenerbahçe in the other semifinal. The semifinals begin Tuesday (April 22).

Setter Brandon Taliaferro (San Clemente, Calif.), middle blocker Delano Thomas (Sacramento, Calif.) and outside hitter Scott Touzinsky (St. Louis, Mo.) are all playing in the final of the Slovenian championship. Their team, ACH Volley, based in Palmares, leads the championship round 2-1 against Salonit Anhovo out of Kanal. The next match will be played April 23.
In the Russian Super League, Dynamo TatTransGaz Kazan, which features setter Lloy Ball (Woodburn, Ind.) and opposite Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawai'i), will be playing Lokomotiv Novosibirsk, which features outside hitter Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.), in a playoff series to decide third place. The series will begin April 23.
Tom Hoff (Park Ridge, Ill.), who played for the Russian club Fakel New Urengoy this winter, and Sean Rooney (Wheaton, Ill.), who played for Dinamo-Yantar Kaliningrad, are both done as their teams failed to make the playoffs.

European Commission, UN Environment step up cooperation to protect the world's oceans 20/12/2016 00:00:00
Mushrooming Cooperation 05/12/2016 00:00:00
Part of the 6 tonnes of confiscated ivory that were destroyed by the authorities in China
According to the Convention on the International Trade in Endangered Species of Fauna and Flora (CITES), elephant poaching in Africa could lead to local extinctions if the present killing rates continue.
The situation is particularly acute in Central Africa, where the estimated poaching rates are twice the continental average.
UN Under-Secretary-General and Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) Achim Steiner said, "We congratulate China and the State Forestry Administration on this milestone event."
"The largest remaining land mammal on the planet is facing one of the greatest crises to hit the species in decades. The latest CITES data estimates that some 47,000 animals were killed in Africa in 2011 and 2012."
"Yet, there is reason for optimism. International cooperation is paving the way towards improved law enforcement and increased efforts to reduce demand. These efforts need to be stepped up and strengthened to produce the desired results."
"We have also seen the destruction of ivory stockpiles across range, transit and demand states: in the Philippines, the Gabon, the US and China among others. As well as create critical public awareness, such actions send a clear message that wildlife crime will not be tolerated," he added.
Increased poaching and loss of habitats are decimating African elephant populations -
especially in Central African countries - according to a report entitled Elephants in the Dust: The African Elephant Crisis, released last March.
The UN estimates that over 17,000 elephants were illegally killed in monitored sites in 2011 alone. Overall figures may be much higher.
Secretary-General of CITES John E. Scanlon, speaking at the event, said, "Despite considerable efforts to combat wildlife crime, it continues to be a problem worldwide. Illegal trade in elephant ivory is having a devastating impact on the African elephant, and it also poses a threat to people and their livelihoods - it must stop. China, and the entire international community, are determined to end this illicit trade."
The Elephants in the Dust report - produced by UNEP, CITES, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and the Wildlife Trade Monitoring Network (TRAFFIC) - says that the illegal ivory trade has tripled since 1998.
Criminal networks are responsible for the illegal trafficking of ivory between Africa and Asia. Large-scale seizures of ivory destined for Asia have more than doubled since 2009 and reached an all-time high in 2011.
The international community is looking at measures to address the crisis, including collaborative action to combat the illegal trade in wildlife and timber, which would include:

About CITES
With 179 Member States, CITES remains one of the world's most powerful tools for biodiversity conservation through the regulation of trade in wild fauna and flora. Thousands of species are internationally traded and used by people in their daily lives for food, housing, health care, ecotourism, cosmetics or fashion.
CITES regulates international trade in close to 35,000 species of plants and animals, including their products and derivatives, ensuring their survival in the wild with benefits for the livelihoods of local people and the global environment. The CITES Permit System seeks to ensure that international trade in listed species is sustainable, legal and traceable.
The CITES Programme for Monitoring the Illegal Killing of Elephants (CITES MIKE) has been monitoring trends in elephant poaching in a representative sample of sites spread across 43 elephant range States in Africa and Asia. These sites include many of the largest elephant populations on both continents. The operation of the MIKE programme in Africa was made possible thanks to the support of the European Union.
CITES banned international ivory trading in 1989.
