Let's hope it's not a quickie divorce!
And just when you think she couldn't possibly surprise you any more, Katie Price goes and marries Alex Reid in Las Vegas.
The wedding was inevitable of course – with Alex as the winner of CBB7 his star is definitely on the rise, and for those of us who watched it he came across really well – providing some of the funniest moments and proving there was more to him than muscle.
As ever though, you have to wonder what effect this will have on the kids. They've known Alex for seven months, now he's their stepdad.
For their sakes, let's hope it's not a quickie divorce.

I cannot stand this woman. Everything she does is for media attention and this is most definitely a media stunt. I don't doubt that she married him as obviously the sacrament of marriage is not sacred to her but this is all thanks to his upturn in the media. I feel a bit sorry for him actually. And what about those poor children? Why doesn't anyone consider what's best for them? Surely not being paraded about and exposed at every turn? She makes me ill! Sorry…but true! Karin
She disgusts me. For many reasons. Not least for the fact that she is constantly craving publicity (perhaps she is very lonely inside), but for the fact that she has 3 kids, one whom is severely disabled and needs his mum by his side (where is she?), for the fact that seems to be able to write novels like they're materialising out of her back end (she can't string two words together, how the hell is she managing the get published when genuine writers (inc. me) are working their bits off in order to have a first novel on the shelves), her sudden appearance in Celebrity Jungle was so staged it was pathetic. And the bufoon she's married isn't really a good influence on 3 young kids. Or am I missing the point here? CJ xx
I was almost ready to feel sorry for her in Celebrity, but she's spoilt it all again. Money and fame go to a person's head. In Alex Reid's case, it's boobs and obviously, money. CJ xx
1. This wedding is a sham. If they'd have really been disinterested in media coverage then they'd have waited a few weeks/months and planned something special. I'm not rubbishing Vegas weddings because that's what some people want but I'm sure that Alex probably would have wanted something more for his first marriage. And there IS going to be a magazine deal because they are going to have to have a "blessing" over here, aren't they? And why take away the chance for Princess to wear a bridesmaid dress? 2. Mr Cuprinol is very naive. He is a "wear your heart on your sleeve" type of guy and that is going to be his downfall. 3. Peter Andre is (so far) being very gracious about it all. He was on the Chris Moyles show this morning and said that he'd heard about it all last night before the "announcement". He has said (quite neutrally) that as long as his kids are well cared for then he has no problem with who Katie is with. And his children are old enough now to say whether they are happy/unhappy. Anyway – it's tomorrows chip paper. I wish Katie would see it like that.
Yes. In typical Katie style, in she wades without much thought for everybody else – fingers crossed it works out for them Lx
Ah another excellently timed stunt. Katie Price's popularity is at rock bottom, her husbands is pretty high, 'ooh lets get married'. I don't feel sorry for him, he knows what he is getting into and is just out for the ride. Pair of prats both of them, sadly this kind of shit sells newpapers and magazines so they'll keep on playing their pathetic lives out in the public eye while ever people are interested. Sod who gets caught up in all!
I find it sad that she continues to live such a sham life – with no real thought for her family.
LoL – Ok, so I totally get what you guys are saying, BUT, thought it might be fun to do a bit of devil's advocate & shake it up a little ….. If she was a guy, who was showing incredible (if shallow) business acumen – shown by the ability to provide financially, which is what Dads are often expected to do – would we be so disgusted by her? Is it that she reminds us of our moments when we behave in an unmotherly manner, and we hate to be reminded that however much we love our little ones, there are days when we don't feel quite so mother earth? Or, do we have a sneaky feeling of 'there but for the grace of god go I'? From a professional perspective I can pretty much say that without some considerable help, she is a person with a big problem. Her 'Katie Price' vs 'Jordan' split personality syndrome, is something that we can all understand – how to be a mother and a sexy lover? However, her's is a BIG issue, and much more likely to drive her into a future of in and out of the Priory in her future. I'm not saying that I love her! And to be honest, if I had to choose, I would be definitely 'Team Andre'. But, I am aware of that she could teach me millions in how to make money and that I wouldn't want to be in her shoes. I bet she'd be an incredibly difficult client to deal with, but I'd love to work with her: imagine what she could achieve if she used her power for good?
I will agree with Mummy Whisperer in that Katie Price's business acumen is second to none despite being a tart in tart's clothing. She has capitalised on every opportunity and grabbed for every other opportunity so I will give her credit. She is making money for her family and herself. But shouldn't she stop trying so hard, take a step back, think of someone other than herself, take off the INCHES of makeup, scrape her hair back into a pony-tail and be a MOTHER??? Just a thought!
I used to have respect for Jordan as Mummy Whisperer said she has great business acumen, but she's now going really over the top. I hope it doesn't all end in tears
I have no idea who Alex Reid is. Being shielded from popular culture clearly has its upsides. If only we'd moved to Bosnia before Katie Price got big. Sigh.
It's hilarious. Completely shameless self-promotion. KP will stop at nothing. I don't know why she bothers, she's probably made enough money to now retire quietly with her children and horses. That's what I'd do. Although she's shown herself to be a good businesswoman in the past, her judgment now seems to be severely impaired. The public backlash against her is now so strong that I don't see how her career can ever withstand it. She clearly thinks it's better to be talked about than not talked about at all. Strangely enough I can imagine the children having some stability: in the care of nannies.
i smell a bit of PR coming from this 'wedding' but i feel for peter andre. his kids have just got a new dad and if i was him i wouldn't be too happy about not being informed of their wedding before it happened. Unfortunately i get the feeling that jordan only thinks of herself not of anything else and that is the same for the kids too xx
She's going to need all the money her 'brilliant business acumen' brings her for the counselling for her kids.
The woman is vile, she is an attention seeking trout 🙁 I didn't use to dislike her but her behaviour seems so distasteful. I was in tears watching Peter's sky interview. He comes across as a lovely man and a dedicated and loving dad.
I agree with you – have just watched it. Feel really sorry for him he must wonder what on earth's happened.

Cayman Islands firm Solomon Harris has chosen Zurich rather than London in what will be the offshore firm's first move out of Cayman.
Partner Paul Scrivener said the firm had decided against opening in London because "it's already well populated by the longer-established Cayman law firms" and by comparison Zurich "offers a suitable crossroads between the east and west European Union".
The firm has hired Bank of Bermuda's senior legal counsel Georges Boivin as a partner for the new Zurich office.
"Boivin is a financial services and offshore expert and we're delighted to have him on board," said Scrivener.
The new office will focus initially on hedge fund clients, although it will eventually expand to become a full-service practice.

A Murder of Heart
They say you cannot die of a broken heart,
that love and promises are an illusion of art -
But what do they know? For they never felt
the extent of the pain, or the depth of the welt
that keeps me alive but tears me apart.
Pray! tell me, how to make them understand
how it felt to have my palm in your hand;
how it felt to cradle your love in my chest
how it felt to press you a kiss and rest
my fingers upon you, and leave a brand -
And how deeply it hurts now that I am alone;
how despondent I feel, straight through the bone
like a plunging sword which didn't matter
until it was my heart that shattered.
(You see, my love was never a loan,
But he thought so, it seems, he didn't realize;
I loved him through heart, and he through eyes.
His gaze found another, of blonder hair
and declared to me that she was far more fair -
and deserted our love, ignoring my cries.)
And so my heart still weeps, and always will
Until it stops, and comes to a still.
That shall be today, I have come to decide -
whoever said broken hearts don't kill, lied
Because I am awaiting on my window sill
for Death to come, and take His fill.

Adapted from the short story, "Where Are You Going, Where Have You
Been", by Joyce Carol Oates; this slow paced and moody film is for
those who like introspective stories where you spend a lot of the
viewing time in self-analysis rather than character identification. The
mood is complemented by a lot of James Taylor on the soundtrack with
"Handyman" repeated several times.
It is also one of those "axe to grind" films where fans of the short story feel compelled to whine about the adaptation not being faithful to their interpretation of the book, although Oates endorses it without reservation on her website. Any non-readers considering viewing "Smooth Talk" would be wise to remember the source when reading negative comments from this group.
To reach feature length it was necessary to expand on the short story and to dramatically depict events that are just briefly mentioned in the original version. Everything is still told from the point-of-view of 15-year-old Connie, increasingly estranged from her mother and marveling at her new-found attractiveness to boys. Fans of Laura Dern who have not seen this should seek it out as she gives an remarkable performance, arguably her all time best. Perfectly cast physically as a gangly coming of age teenager Dern plays Connie with such restraint and awkward hesitancy that anyone with acting for the camera aspirations should view this simply as a perfect example of the power that can be produced by underplaying a character.
The ending is restrained as well, making it unexpectedly powerful and haunting. They go out with Connie and her sister slowly dancing to "Handyman", leaving the viewer to process what has been shown and what has been implied.
Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.

Smooth Talk
Drama / Romance / Thriller
Free-spirited fifteen-year-old Connie Wyatt may be too young to drive, but she's already driving the boys crazy. Her suspicious mother wants to keep her safely at home, but Connie would rather while away the languid summer days hanging out with her friends and flirting with boys at the local burger stand. But when she flirts with a handsome and dangerous stranger named Arnold Friend, she must prepare herself for the frightening and traumatic consequences. Based on the short story "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" by Joyce Carol Oates.

A Must-See for Laura Dern Fans
Adapted from the short story, "Where Are You Going, Where Have You
Been", by Joyce Carol Oates; this slow paced and moody film is for
those who like introspective stories where you spend a lot of the
viewing time in self-analysis rather than character identification. The
mood is complemented by a lot of James Taylor on the soundtrack with
"Handyman" repeated several times.
Insightful, realistic coming of age film
Laura Dern is perfect as lanky lass in a small town sparring with her parents, estranged from her older sister, desperate to be liked and to be with boys. Opening moments of this adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates' story "Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been"--with Dern and friends doing the mall--are realistic but nothing too original; second portion of the film, with Laura meeting smooth talking Treat Williams (who comes dressed like the James Dean poster on Dern's wall) is elongated and dry (you can almost feel the director's confidence slipping away). It's an encounter I didn't particularly care for, nor did I buy the rosy ending either. However, there are fine moments in "Smooth Talk", the most devastating of which lies in a conversation between Dern and indifferent sis Elizabeth Berridge (in a terrific performance): Dern recalls a vivid, lovely childhood memory between the two, but after listening and thinking it over, Berridge tells her, "I don't remember..." **1/2 from ****
A poignant, painful reminder of being a 15 year old girl
I give this film a ten because it was very entertaining and thought
provoking. For years I have been trying to remember the name of it so I
could order the video to watch again. I saw it 20 years ago. I don't
remember all the details but I remember how much it touched me.
It was quite frightening, even at the age of 23. I never forgot the strength of Laura Dern's performance. It was incredible, defining. I have followed her career ever since. Treat Williams was also excellent. I don't want to risk a spoiler so I will just say he was a very convincing character.
I also believe it would be as meaningful today as it was in 1985. The relevance of this film is timeless.

The design also makes sense for other active pursuits. A spot of gardening? No problem. Tree-felling? Likewise. DIY Kitchen-fitting? Ideal (and with the added bonus that you can't hear anyone moaning that you're not putting that screw in straight it's going to rip through the bottom of the cupboard if you don't watch out). If you spend any time with an MP3 player involved in similar activities, you'll know how annoying it is to constantly trip over the headphone cable or knock the headphones out of place with an ill-timed movement. With the NWZ-W202, this simply never happens.
Now, there are two compromises you might expect with this kind of player, but Sony has cleverly thought about both of them. The first is usability. Understandably, the NWZ-W202 doesn't have a screen, and the only controls are a volume rocker, a shuffle switch and a multi-purpose jog dial that handles pause/play and search functions. In practice, it's clear that the player is designed primarily to work in shuffle mode, and that even then there are times when you want to skip tracks.
Apple gets around this problem with the new Shuffle by adding the speech facility, the unit announcing tracks as you skip through, but the NWZ-W202 takes a different approach with a feature called 'Zappin'. Hold in the jog dial and flick it forwards and the headphones proclaim 'Zappin in' in a preposterous American accent before running through tracks, playing a few seconds of each so you can work out what it is.
Theoretically, this segment is supposed to be the chorus, but in my experience it could be roughly any loud and interesting portion. Hear something you like and press the jog dial in again and the headphones announce 'Zappin out' and the track plays. It's slightly bizarre, and the voice is really, really, really weird, but it works. Sure, you can't navigate properly through albums or artist lists or playlists, but then on a player of this type, I don't really expect to.
The second compromise is that you can't change the headphones, and so this makes the audio quality of the existing set quite crucial. Luckily, the NWZ-W202 actually performs very well. The secret is that Sony has incorporated the 13.5mm drivers from its mid-range EX series of headphones, and while you still won't find the Walkman as good to listen to as, say, a Sansa Clip with a pair of Shure SE102s, you still get enough bass response, clarity and definition to make music enjoyable on the move.
Surely you mean 'Sound Quality', not 'Scan Quality' for the ratings, right?
It would sure be an awesome workout with that glorious looking pink colour around my head.
Scan Quality - How well it scans for FM stations...?
Nothing to see here... move along.. :)
You forgot to show us a picture of how daft they look round your head (pref with the pink ones). :-)
Not to be icky, but how easy are they to clean? I have a pair of SE210s that I can't really use for sport as they get quite sweaty.
The earbuds will need cleaning/replacing, but otherwise there isn't too much to get grungey. There's nothing that would cause you any more problems than the average pair of in-ear 'phones, and actually less in the way of wax/sweat/grime trapping embellishment than some models I could mention.
Huh. The new Shuffle was bad enough, but this is even worse. Are cables really that annoying? I just route them along the inside of my clothing and after that I don't even notice them anymore. I won't buy a device that only works with proprietary headphones, and I sure as hell won't buy one that's fixed to a pair of phones. And that's coming from a fan of IEMs -- I know a lot of people who can't stand them.
@ morsch - Guess you don't use your mp3 player for running then.... The best cabled headphones will not sound that great when you're jogging. FOr instance, in-ear phones suffer from that "thumping in the back of your head" noise as your feet pound the pavement. Situations where that does not occur, these sorts of earbuds are too far out of the ear to actually sound good. Hopefully, these rememdy some of those problems by cutting the cable out completely.
Hi,Read my review of this player
Sony recently launched the much hyped Walkman Unwired priced at Rs 4,990.It combines stellar design with good performance.The Walkman W202 takes mobility to a new direction by completelty cutting the wires.It looks good and sounds even better.No need to carry your dangling headphone wires along with your IPOD.The Walkman sports unique features such as Zappin which is very handy as there is no screen on this player.The controls are embeded on the right ear-piece of this player.There is a jog dial that controls the play/pause/forward/bacward/zappin-in/zappin-out functions on this player.A plastic cover has been provided to store the player(To prevent magnetic leakage).A USB stand is provided through which you can connect the player to the PC.The player charges while it is connected to the PC.3 min. of charge enables 90 min. of music playback and the overall time taken to charge the player is 30-90 min.You can also charge this player with mobile charger.(I use the charger of Samsung RAGA)The player is detected easily as soon it is connected to the PC.You can drag/drop to transfer music files to this player or use the provided software.(Content Transfer 1.1).This player supports "mp3,aac,wma" audio formats.Now coming to the preformance,its ideal for the people on the move(For jogging,cycling,walking etc.)The ear-piece fits quite easily in the ears and remains fixed during any body motions.The sound quality is good and is on the warmer side.The highs and the mids sound crystal clear and the bass is tight.Although the Bass lacks punch and doesn;t extend deep,this won;t be an issue unless you are bass freak.The button response is good but may cause problems for people with large hands.This walkman is ideal for listening to Accoustic Pop,Jazz,Trance,Bollywood Pop.It sits around your neck when not in use so it is very convenient.FM Radio and Voice Recording feature is missing as quite understandingly there is not enough space to put these features in the player.There is also absence of 3.5 mm jacks and Audio-in jack so you can't connect this player with speakers.The walkman is known to be having problems with sweat as it is not waterproof.The sweat causes malfunction in this player if it enters through the USB HUB.So beware and find something to cover the USB HUB(I am using a rubber cover of old mobile).Overall it is an excellant gadget and a must-buy for electronic lovers. RATINGS; Features - 7/10 Built - 10/10 Performance - 7.5/10 Value for money - 8/10
One question: how can you go from one album to the next in the W202?

In the budget today it was announced that Sheffield Children's Hospital will receive £700,000 of funding from banking fines.
Following pressure from Sheffield's Liberal Democrat MP, Nick Clegg, to use banking fines to help Sheffield Children's Hospital, the Chancellor announced today (16/03/16) that fines from the Libor banking scandal will be used to support children's hospital services in Sheffield, along with Manchester, Birmingham and Southampton.
George Osborne pledged in his autumn statement last year to match the Christmas Appeal of Great Ormond Street Hospital up to a 'cap' of £1.5 million with the money the government receives through LIBOR fines.
Nick received a reply in January from George Osborne stating that Sheffield Children's Hospital's proposals will be given 'the fullest consideration' for the next round of funding, along with other good causes.
Nick Clegg, MP for Sheffield Hallam said
"This is fantastic news for Sheffield Children's Hospital and shows the chancellor has listened to my arguments that all our country's specialist children's hospitals get the funding they need."

One in five hospitals which administer electro-convulsive therapy (ECT) has been found to show "substantial departures" from best policy, practice or training.
The findings, by the mental health act commission, will cause fresh controversy over a treatment for mental illness that critics have denounced as barbaric, but advocates regard as highly effective when used correctly.
Some 1,300 treatments are carried out each week in England alone.
Under ECT, an electric charge is passed through the brain of patient typically suffering depression. The resulting seizure can have a remarkably beneficial and rapid effect, though precisely why is unclear.
The commission, which is responsible for vetting treatment of patients detained under the mental health act, has checked all 230 in England and Wales where ECT is administered. According to preliminary findings, published this week in the commission's biennial report, only 48 sites complied at least "substantially" with set criteria.
Thirty-six per cent of the facilities did not have a nurse present in the recovery room, trained in resuscitation; 32% did not have a dedicated ECT suite of three or more rooms; 27% did not have a named consultant psychiatrist who visited regularly; and 5% were unable to produce a copy of either the hospital's own ECT policy or that of the Royal College of Psy chiatrists' handbook on the subject.
The commission says it will be discussing its findings with the college and writing to chief executives of the 20% of hospitals found to fall furthest short of the criteria.
The biennial report says national policy on mental health has developed more quickly and dynamically in the past two years than at any time in the history of state intervention in mental illness. But there remain "huge variations" in the quality of services for detained patients, some of whom are treated unlawfully.
One particular concern is patients' access to fresh air: "All too often," the commission says, "we encounter bored patients whose only recreational activities are smoking and television".
The report also warns that many mental health services are operating in excess of 100% capacity, sending patients on leave to free up beds. As many as 27% of patients in the high-security special hospitals are said to be in the discharge/ transfer system, many of them stuck because of lack of places elsewhere.

text: A great little car in need of some fine tuning! A good candidate for a little weekend racer or great mileage commuter or maybe a date night car? Just out of the shop with a whole new break system and OEM master cyl, new clutch cyl and lines, clutch, oil pump, timing set, battery, balancer, re-built carb, no leaks... $3400 worth of documented work; too much to list. Car has been garaged but not run and has been professionally gone through from front to back just for you. Like new top, good glass, interior needs work, great paint. Car had been run SCCA (I think) and mirror frenched, but with car. Other parts as well. Only one small dent on RF fender (pic) that a "hail dent repair" place should make light work of. Tires good. Original front bumper comes with the car. 1275 cc of course. Not a lot of gauge action. #2 valve won't seat. PVC sucks a little too hard and pulls a little oil into the intake for mosquito control at higher RPM (according to the shop). Otherwise starts and runs great with upgraded electronic ignition. Hate to part with it but I don't have the time for it. Full disclosure if you have questions, reach out! (clear title in hand)

Tips for curly hair : - Don't straighten it often. - After you wash, dry with cotton shirt or air dry. - Keep ends trimmed. (Our hair is very sensitive so it will continue to slip if it isn't taken care of quickly) - Use a silk or satin pillow case/head rap. - FEED your hair. (With mayonnaise and egg.) or (Coco nut oil and egg)
Look Into WEN, it's a miracle.

DLA Piper has entered Mongolia through a non-exclusive tie-up with local firm C&G Partners.
The Ulaanbaatar firm, which has two partners, will become a DLA Piper focus firm, concentrating on mining, capital markets, banking, project finance, hospitality and leisure and infrastructure work.
DLA Piper's Beijing corporate head Steven Liu, banking partner Paul Lee and solicitor Martin Navias will manage the relationship with C&G.
"The relationship with C&G Partners will enable the firm to have a presence in an emerging economy where our clients are doing increasing volumes of business," said Alastair Da Costa, DLA Piper's Asia Pacific managing director. "Mongolia's attracting considerable investment from neighbouring G20 economies, Russia, China, Korea, Japan and Australia and as such it's an important market for us to engage with.
"As a DLA Piper focus firm, C&G is our law firm of choice in Mongolia. Together, we'll continue to support our existing clients as well as attract and develop opportunities for new work, delivering integrated, quality legal services to the market. As a focus firm, C&G will gain access to some aspects of DLA Piper's know-how and resources."
In August 2010, Hogan Lovells entered into a formal relationship with Mongolian firm GTs Advocates (3 August 2011).

Pigs In Their Farms
By The Unisex
Something's happening in Europe. I guess it was always coming, but after years of exporting nothing but throwaway pop trash, those wacky Europeans are finally delivering something great. Norway gave us the acoustic folk of Kings of Convenience, while also delivering Röysksopp, Denmark's resurgence with Nu, Mew and Junior Senior, Germany's art punks Robocop Kraus, Millionaire and dEUS from Belgium, hell, even Iceland rocks nowadays.
And so enter The Unisex, a Stockholm-based sextuplet who look and sound every bit the rock'n'roll band. It's melodic, it's soaring and it's got all the bases covered. You want ear bleedingly good production values? You got it. You want melody dripping from your speakers? You got that too. You want one of those chorus moments that won't go out of your head for days? You came to the right place and you bought the right CD. 'Pigs & Their Farms' is one of those blisteringly beautiful moments in music that rocks, but without being too familiar. It's a refreshing burst of indie riffage with the kind of drumming that makes you look like an idiot trying to play it on an invisible drum kit in your front room, and even the singing is excellent too, soaring and tuneful, it's easily the best voice you'll hear from Sweden for a long time. It maybe a little predictable, but when it's as good as this, it doesn't matter at all. And that was only the first track.
'Mushrooms And Broccoli' is an upbeat rock'n'roll stomp, complete with bar room piano tinkling and handclaps. It's still pretty good, but not as spine tingingly awesome as the first one. Still, it's a joyful little number, and bright enough to have your head nodding along.
The last track is the Archive remix of the title track, and trust me on this, it rocks. I know what you're thinking - remixes on singles are usually just time fillers, rehashes of a perfectly good tune, but Archive totally break the song down, and build it up again in their unmistakable style of atmospheric organ playing and funky breakbeats, mixed with cut up vocals. This is what a remix should sound like - different from the original in as many ways as possible, but still retaining the original's sense of melody and style. It's fucking ace, there's no two ways about it. Similar, in some respects, to Archive's awesomely brilliant single 'Again'. Watch out for this lot, The Unisex are most definitely onto something...

Think about how ridiculous your statement about that is. You imply its bad for people to hate and impose their beliefs in the name of religion, however, its ok for you to hate and impose your beliefs on them because you dont believe in religion?
The difference is the gay community isn't imposing anything on anybody. Gay marriage is about allowing gay people to get married, which doesn't change whether or not straight religious people can get married. If you don't like gay marriage, don't marry someone of the same sex, there's no "war" here and it's not "picking a side", it's justice vs. injustice.
Two gay people getting married doesn't impact anyone's freedom of religion and it's ridiculous to even suggest that. Does two other men or women getting married to eachother stop anyone from going to church, preaching their beliefs in public, or practicing their faith? Of course not. Religious people are actively imposing arbitrary beliefs on other people preventing them from doing things that
do not harm them in any way.
There's a very clear right and wrong on this topic and trying to make it out to be a matter of opinion is absurd.
Couldn't have said it any better.

Leyland on announcing retirement: 'I feel so good'
Jim Leyland was thrilled with his first day of retirement, and touched by the kind words he heard from so many after his Monday morning announcement.
BOSTON -- Jim Leyland caught himself.
"As a manager," he said. "I mean, as a former manager ... "
He said it with absolutely no regret. In fact, when I spoke to Leyland late Monday afternoon, he sounded as relaxed, at ease and satisfied as I've ever heard him.
"I feel so good," he said. "Absolutely no second thoughts."
Leyland was genuinely touched by the reaction to his Monday morning announcement that he is retiring as Tigers manager. He appreciated the turnout at his press conference, and the kind words from reporters who told him that he had made our job easy over all his years with the Pirates, Marlins, Rockies and Tigers.
He heard from Angels manager Mike Scioscia, too. He also heard from commissioner Bud Selig.
"The commissioner called me," he said. "I couldn't believe it."
That's Leyland. He retires with 1,769 career wins, more than any other active manager and 15th on the all-time list.
And he's still surprised and touched to hear from the commissioner.
Nine of the 14 men ahead of Leyland on that all-time wins list are in the Hall of Fame, and three of the other five (Tony La Russa, Bobby Cox and Joe Torre) should be after this winter.
Nine managers with fewer wins than Leyland made it to the Hall of Fame, too.
Leyland may not get to the Hall of Fame himself, but right to the end his peers considered him to be one of the best. Many were no doubt surprised to see him go.
They'll be happy to know that Leyland made the decision himself, that he wasn't forced out.
They'll be even more pleased to hear that more than a month after making the decision and a few hours after announcing it, Leyland sounded as happy as he could be.

Anyone worth more than minimum wage will soon be working for another company, anyway.<quoted text>Minimum wage is a joke. Any company that even pays someone at that rate should be embarrassed.
Dennis Miller: Here with an editorial on taxes and crime is SNL news correspondent, Chris Rock.
Chris Rock: Thank you, Dennis. Before I started comedy, I used to work at McDonald's making minimum wage. You know what that means when someone pays you minimum wage? You know what your boss was trying to say? It's like, "Hey if I could pay you less, I would, but it's against the law." Now minimum wage used to come up to about $200 a week and then they'd take out $50 in taxes. That's alot of money if you're only making $200 a week. That's kinda like kicking Monday and Tuesday in the ass. I hate taxes, I hate checks. I hate the fact that they put two amounts of money on your check. It's like: This is the money you worked all week for, and this is what you're gonna get. Don't tease me! Don't take off your bra and say: "Whatcha lookin' at?" I think taxes are the reason there's so much crime.
The only people complaining about minimum wage are those who aren't worth any more than that.

Downton Abbey, ITV, finale review: Farewell to period drama that shows unpleasant people behaving unpleasantly
Dame Maggie Smith has admitted to never having watched an episode of the insanely successful show – you can see why
The Independent Culture
Dame Maggie Smith herself recently confessed to having never watched an episode of the insanely successful period drama Downton Abbey, in which she stars as the formidable Dowager Countess of Grantham. And if last night's finale was anything to go by, I can see why.
Downton seems mostly to consist of unpleasant people behaving rather unpleasantly. Take Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery), for example. A woman so nasty that the best compliment her own sister could summon was: "One day our shared memories will mean more than our mutual dislike." And yet there she was at the end of the episode getting married – for a second time. It's inconceivable that a woman so vile could convince one poor sap to marry her, never mind two. But Henry Talbot (Matthew Goode) was so desperate to get her down the aisle that he spent the entire 100-minute episode with a marriage licence in his back pocket on the off-chance she would agree.

The sun sets on the final series of Downton Abbey
She eventually did – but only after she'd sabotaged Edith's chance of a happy ending. Having finally accepted hapless Bertie's proposal – following some unexpected graveyard luck which made him a Marquis – Lady Edith (Laura Carmichael) was allowed to enjoy it for about 12 hours before her spiteful sister Mary let slip about Edith's not-so-secret secret child. The engagement was over before she'd had chance to raise a china teacup to it.
Downstairs, Mr Barrow (Rob James-Collier) was so fed up in his unsuccessful quest to find alternative employment – much to the other servants' amusement – that he took some rather drastic measures involving a blade and a bathtub. Even that was unsuccessful and he soon found himself propped up on a pillow pretending to have the flu while Lord Grantham begrudgingly agreed to let him stay on as his servant. Who needs enemies, eh?
Equally unpleasant was Mr Carson (Jim Carter) who tried to put a stop to Mr Molesley's blossoming (well, tentatively sprouting) teaching career and who was more than happy for Mrs Patmore's B&B to be branded a "house of ill-repute" so long as she didn't drag the Crawley family name down with her. The Dowager, meanwhile (the one character we actively encourage to be unpleasant), had come over all soft, telling the sour-faced Lady Mary that in reality she valued love "above all else". Who knew?
Lord Grantham (Hugh Bonneville) at least seemed contented with his lot. Apparently having one horrible but happy daughter made up for the mousey yet miserable one. "Of all my children, Edith has given me the most surprises," he said.
"Surprises of the most mixed variety," hissed the Dowager in a brief but welcome return to form.
"A surprise is a surprise Ma-ma, and I'm sure we haven't seen the last one yet," he concluded.
Well I hate to break it to you, Hugh, but that was the closing episode so Edith may well have missed the boat. Still, there's always the Christmas special.

I'm often thinking about how to once more get back to rytterfalk.com - it's not as easy as you might think. It's been several years now and both you and me we've grown quite a bit in body and soul. I for example had the trip of my life with my son that some of you follow closely thru my Facebook page.. and don't get me started with photography! It's an area of my life that I truly neglected and that i miss more than.. anything? I've used my Sigmas only when forced and my iPhones the rest of the time. Why you might ask, I do too. But mobile photography has more to offer than you might think and also gives a feeling of satisfaction when you easy as that take a shot and develop it directly "on the run" and share instantly with the world.
I still have a dream of an X3F developer for iPad, It shouldn't be that hard to create a img0001mini.x3f that has enough info to get a speedy development done.. a bit of Swift and Metal and we should be on our way! But that's for another post..
In February 2013 my life changed dramatically with the early birth of my son who was born with the rare and somewhat difficult chromosome disorder named Trisomy 9 mosaic. In the first year we almost went to hospital as often as we went home and I'm actually right now writing this from hospital with William waiting for surgery. He's a true gift and I wouldn't change him for the world..
But my love affair with you guys and my other child – my site, has never left my mind and every once in a while I've been wondering what's missing and the answer is simple. This! There always was this thinking ahead – what to write, what do do, what would you say – reactions and statistics.. New ideas that I felt that I JUST HAD TO SHARE and that activated all those little cells up there! But now, who do I share too? "One" friend? A coworker? Someone at a busstop? Life isn't meant to be like this. :)
I also noticed thanks to some observant users that someone added some mean code to comments and therefore users of Windows got a virus / trojan warning every time they entered my site. Today, I'm happy to inform that my site is clean as a babys butt! At least should be according to Nortons online / website check tool.
So, since William was born I've been using Facebook instead of rytterfalk.com and I think it should be the other way around. So I'm trying to convince myself that it's ok for a while to post more from life and when ready – about photography too. But for those of you that want the "old" Sigma nut head, I'm still here and I'm still amazed with how great those shots look. (especially on the new iMac 5k)..

Welcome to SALUMET & friends: Channelled teachings on LOVE, TRUTH & the Power of THOUGHT.
Leslie: Group founder & leader for many years
Eileen: Full-trance medium & channel for Salumet
The aim of this website is to present the work of our group, which has been doing spiritual work for many years and carefully recording and transcribing each session, in the hope that some of the incredible /wonderful/magical information can be freely shared. We hope this will bring greater spiritual understanding to the Earth at this time of substantial change. Many great ones have gathered and some amazing connections have been made. The one known to us as Salumet, comes from 'deeper spirit' and brings awareness and teaching from Angelic Realms. The purity of love which Salumet always has, rekindles our spirits and shines light on our pathways onwards.
Other visitors to our circle have come through with specific lessons in support of these teachings, including some from our Earthly history, such as Emma Hardinge-Britten, Mary Stuart and Catherine the Great. Others have not walked this Earthplane, but have come to explain their work in spirit, such as one known to us as the 'Light Escort,' who helps to bridge the gap between this world and the next. Then there is Bonniol, a dear friend from a distant planet, who communicates through a process known as 'Mind Projection', or more aptly described as 'mind-link'. And in the early years you will find such Amerindian names as 'Moon Feather', 'White Horse' and 'Nahashiwah'; also beautifully spoken ones from holy orders such as 'Sister Anna'. As you will see, there is a wealth of information and hopefully we will be able to present it clearly and easily here.
You may find some of the information presented challenges your beliefs. We are certainly challenged at times by it all. We only ask that you strive to be of open mind, as you embark on this journey of spiritual unfoldment...

Home › Forums › Gear Forums › Gear (General) › WHITE BOX STOVE IMPROVED
Mar 4, 2008 at 2:52 pm #1227630
Just thought I would mention that the White Box Stove as been improved. I recently changed the way that I seal the two sections of the stove together. Instead of using the triple rivets I now "Cope Roll" the top edge. This forms a super seam that is airtight. The looks of the new model are a lot cleaner also without the unsightly rivets sticking out all over.
I do give credit for this new seal to Tinny from Minibull Design who voluntarily offered me one of his trade secrets. He saw a good product and showed me how to make it better. Thanks Tinny!!
There are getting to be a lot of "White Box Clones" out there now and from what I've heard they are having a hard time keeping the top seam between the two halves from leaking because rivets just don't do a real good job or the top edges get bent during use. Our old WB model stove didn't have a leak problem because of the way we finished them after installing the rivets. But apparently some of the other clones haven't figured that out yet.
I am also making the stove a little shorter for better stability and at the same time it will hold a little more fuel. Sounds wrong that you could make something smaller yet have larger volume but tweaking the old design has allowed me to do that. Being that the stove is shorter than the original model it is also just a little lighter in weight.
Along with the added fuel capacity I have been able to boil 8 cups of 47 degree on one fill of fuel. That was in my basement so other environments will have different outcomes but it is now possible to use this stove to boil water for 3 or 4 campers at one time.
We have also incorporated a simple fuel gauge which is a built in safety feature. It allows you to see the maximum amount of fuel you can safely add to the stove so you don't cause a fire hazard by leaking fuel out the burner holes.
White Box Stoves— again leaps and bounds ahead of the competition.

You're right Bill, SOME of the clones haven't figured it out. You can tell just by looking at their pictures. The last step is so easy and simple, it gets overlooked by the "Saturday Night Specials".Mar 4, 2008 at 3:26 pm #1422998

Looks great Bill, nice work! Evolution–it's a beautiful thing.
What are the dimensions and weight of the new model, if you don't mind?
Thanks.Mar 4, 2008 at 3:42 pm #1423001
Weight wise the new model is probably only a couple grams less but my scale isn't that accurate.
Height wise the new model is approximately 1/8 inch shorter.
Bill in MTMar 4, 2008 at 3:42 pm #1423002
As Bill knows, I have several of his stoves that I have lent to and demonstrated to several friends and acquaintances. So apart from my own use, I have seen many boils from them but never a leak from the rim. The new design does look very "clean".

This stove would be perfect if it had a strong simmer capacity.
As it is, I can't use it as my meals violently boil over.
If only I could simmer with a really weak flame for 5 minutes or so.Mar 4, 2008 at 5:25 pm #1423017

Nice work Bill! Hey, maybe in a few years, my old riveted design will become a priceless collectable! ;)Mar 4, 2008 at 6:43 pm #1423022
you make a good point. The WB boils fast and then it speeds up…
Works well for my style. I just use less than 1 ounce of fuel, bring my food to a boil and wait for the flame to go out, usually one or two minutes after that (depending on wind and air/water temperature). As soon as it stops boiling I shove the pot inside a cozy ( at the moment a foil bag that my dry cat food comes in) and wrap that with whatever spare clothing I have. Depending on what I am cooking 10 to 20 minutes later it is ready and still hot.
Works well with my titanium pot because the food does not stick to it that way.
That gives me time for the sunset or to fiddle with my nighttime set up.
I have just received some pics from Montana. Lots of snow. Some go camping because of it ….
I have some priceless ideas. Yep, no one wants to pay for them.Mar 4, 2008 at 7:15 pm #1423029

@sarbarLocale: In the shadow of Mt. Rainier
I carry it on my website – I have the new ones in stock (first one to get them!)Mar 6, 2008 at 4:13 pm #1423302
At this time Piragis do not have the new version but the next time they reorder they will get them.
Speaking of Gossamer Gear, because Glen Van Peski and Grand Sibel were only operating GG as a part time business and they have chosen to go back to "the basics". You will notice that they have discontinued a lot of products and are mainly carrying products that they design. This was a business decision because there just wasn't enough time in the day to work their regular jobs and still maintain GG. I think you'd call it growing pains.
To get the new WB model see Sarah @ freezerbagcooking.com
While you are there get a couple of her pot cozies too.

"I am also making the stove a little shorter for better stability and at the same time it will hold a little more fuel."
In addition to the above quote, you also mention in another post that the new model is 1/8" shorter. Has the width/diameter changed? I currently pack "the old style" in between the two halves of a bush buddy stove. I'm wondering how this new shape will fit into the other stove. Would you happen to have a bush buddy? If I knew how to attach a photo, I could show how it packs so well. If the new one still packs snug and doesn't rattle, then it's another perk and incentive to the newer one. I have no complaints with my current stove, but am always looking for improvements. Thanks for the many hot lunches!
ChrisMar 7, 2008 at 8:44 pm #1423457
The stove width is the same as the old model….
Bill in MTMar 13, 2008 at 11:46 am #1424174
I just had to add this to the discussion. On ebay I received a message from a guy named Freefall or blowit420. The message is as follows:
Dear billinmt2,
Good looking stove you have there. But you are missing a few critical details. First- $20? You gotta be kidding me mate! They can make them (alcohol stoves)cheap! Second, if they don't want to make them, $20? Bigger balls than I've got mate! Third, you give no weight. If you knew anything about backpacking then you'd know that hikers GAS about weight! Fourth, your Youtube link doesn't work and finally, my stove weighs less than an ounce (stove, windscreen and pot stand)and will cook two packs of Ramen OR 1 pack of Mac and Cheese in less than 10 minutes using less than an ounce of fuel. Mine doesn't have, what you call it?, a billet roll, whatever, mine was made in my living room and has traveled right about 10,000 miles without the slightest leak or failure. Best of all, I give this knowledge away for free even though I have the design patented in the US. The result? Happy hikers the world over!
Just so you know (in case you didn't figure it out, I will never buy from you.) Freefall
– blowit420
First off cut and paste the youtube link and it works but I guess he hasn't learned how to do that yet.
For what it is worth this guy has never sold a stove or anything else on Ebay which tells me he has no idea of values or has any marketing experience. But all you have to do is read his blog and realize that he is the self proclaimed expert when it comes to alcohol stoves. JMHO

Seriously… what a jerk. No one put a gun to his head to make him buy the stove. I make my own stoves too… but who cares? tons of ultralighters make their own stuff?… and $20 is a perfectly fine price. I think the labour alone… making it… packing it… shipping it… etc… is actually probably worth a lot more than 20 dollars.Mar 13, 2008 at 3:44 pm #1424211
Lynn TramperMember
@retropumpLocale: The Antipodes of La Coruna
I agree…the cost of raw materials, labor, marketing, collecting funds and filling orders, answering emails, supply flow, income taxes, etc….that alone should be more than $20! I can't help thinking this every time I try to sell something second hand online. It's a lot of work and time before you've even made the stove, and it's a very finely crafted piece of gear too. Much more robust than your average pop-can stove, and doesn't require a pot stand.Mar 13, 2008 at 8:31 pm #1424263

Saying of "Sure you could make it, but would you?".
Over the years of selling at farmer markets and now online, like Bill, I have gotten some snide comments about how I charged too much and how they could do it for pennies on the dollars.
My reply was and still is the above line ;-) Then you politely ask them if they have the sewing machine and skills. Heh! Or in my previous business it was growing herbs and making candles and soaps and asking them if they had ever rendered tallow or made soap with lye.
Heehee. Shut them right up!Mar 15, 2008 at 12:39 pm #1424454

One of my favorite instances of this comeback is a story about Avant-Garde composer John Cage. He did lots of crazy stuff early in his career… ideas as art… "happenings" as art. He wrote the famous composition 4'33" in which a pianist (usually) just sits at a piano and does nothing (for the most part)… doesn't play a single note… for 4 minutes and 33 seconds. He's also written concertos for car horn. And he did this recital where he had four overhead projectors set up… each with a clear plastic tray holding transparent staff paper (music notation paper) and half an inch of water. Then he put a bug in each tray of water and each of the four musicians would have to play what their bug "notated" as they swam around. LOL. Funny.
Anyway… the story goes that an elderly lady came up to him once after a performance and was very upset… and she said "I could have done that"… and he replied "Yes mam… but you didn't".Mar 15, 2008 at 4:11 pm #1424467
Often people confuse "hobby" and business.
You can make a 'tarptent" for less than $50 if you are prepared to work for 20-50 hours for nothing. ( of course if you need to buy a sawing machine and learn how to use it…)
See the post from Roger Caffin where he stated that he gave up selling tents ( at $500 AU or thereabout) because he did not want to work for $4 an hour.
Having worked in retail for over 30 years, I was always amazed to find so many co-workers that confused net and gross profit. Yet they never wanted to work for nothing, nor offered to pay for wages/rent/advertising/training/electricity/insurance/wastage/pilfering/stationary/kitchen supplies/rates/uniforms…. but always happy to ask for a pay rise.

That's amazingly gratuitous – why would anyone send a message like that?
And don't worry, I see enough "do it yourself" instructions on the website for things like bike lights that actually work out only marginally cheaper than buying from a proper manufacturer to not be under any illusions about the value of a $20 stove.

I am sure it worked out at $3 per hour …
Cheers :-)
