I think to myself for a moment. What do I want to know about this enigma of a girl? Why are you pretending to be called Allie? Or why do you have the name Emma on your notebook? What's with the need to usurp your sister? Why do you hide behind highbrow fiction in coffee stores? But instead of asking any of these questions I go with the basics.
"Where did you meet me?"
She doesn't hesitate, and it's as if she's had the story planned out in her head. "Vintage book fair by the Thames. We both wanted a copy of Pride and Prejudice but you let me have it in exchange for my number."
"How gentlemanly of me," I laugh. "But that's not a very masculine of me. Can't the book be something like Dorian Gray?"
She shakes her head quite resolutely, and I'm compelled by her persistence. "I can't stand Wilde," she remarks as if the author is a type of cheese, or a wine. "My Mum will never buy it. How about Wuthering Heights?"
I shrug. "Sure."
"Where did you take me on our first date?"
"Restaurant?" I offer, and this prompts another eye roll. It should be quite unbecoming, but it's endearing more than anything.
"Boring." She groans, "Can't you be a bit more exciting? If you're going to have swept me off my feet and convinced me to marry you in such a short space of time, you need to have a bit more of the wow factor."
"I'm very exciting I have you know," my ego retorts, feeling severely battered, "I once took a girl to Paris for the weekend."
"That's not exciting," she laughs, "That's textbook romance. You need to be less predictable."
"Fine," it's my turn to roll my eyes. "I took you to a record store and bought you some vinyl."
"Bleuuugh," she mimes throwing up. "That's too indie. Also, makes me seem like a charity case, which I'm not."
"Fine you know what I think we should just call this whole engagement off," I declare, jokingly, "We're clearly not compatible."
"Okay let's see what we do agree on," she laughs, "See if this relationship is salvageable. Favourite band?"
"Impossible to choose," I state, "But the Beatles are up there for sure."
She smiles. Seems like I've hit a solid foundation for our rapidly developing relationship – perhaps we'll actually agree on something by the time we're due to meet her Mother and sister. "Favourite Beatle?"
"Ringo." I saw without so much as a moment's hesitation.
"Thought as much," she smirks.
"What's that meant to mean?"
"You're the underdog, it's natural for you to sympathise with the least famous band member." She spiels as if she has a major in psychoanalysis. The way her sentences come out sounding like facts irritates me to no end – and the presumptions she makes about me are too close for comfort. Being read by a complete stranger is unnerving, and I'm beginning to think I'm not as mysterious as I'd like to appear.
"Okay so if you know everything about me, what's my favourite food?"
She tips her head, thinking, before answering, "Something pasta based. I bet you like to pretend to be cultured."
"Lasagne. Lucky guess - that was too general," I laugh, "and doesn't everyone pretend to be cultured?"
"To an extent," she muses, "But you're less able to hide it than the rest of us."
"Says little Miss I'm-going-to-sit-in-a-coffee-shop-and-read-posh-books-and-wait-for-some-charming-stranger-to-come-and-sweep- me-off-my-feet."
"I'm that predictable?" She giggles, "Shoot." Her expression changes to one of complete seriousness. "But hey least I can read."
I'm offended, which she can probably tell by the fact that my mouth is agape.
"Allie!" An enthusiastic woman with the same blonde hair as my company envelopes Allie in a crushing hug, and I stifle a chuckle as she mouths "help me" over the shoulder of what I can only assume is her mother.
"So, where is he?" her voice is laced with scepticism, any idiot can tell. Allie breathes in heavily, before turning and introduces me.
"Mum, this is Joshua. Joshua, my Mum."
I manage an awkward smile and something that resembles a wave, but that is regretted as soon as I do it. When you're stood a foot away from someone, waving in their face is possibly the most idiotic thing you can do. I sigh. I've fucked things up already.
"It's nice to meet you, madam." I feel my heart fluttering in my chest which is bizarre considering I'm only acting.
She chuckles, perhaps bemused by my formality. "It is indeed – finally! Allie's hidden you from the rest of us for long enough. But no need for the formality, my dear," she smiles fondly at me but I can feel her judging my jeans, my un-ironed shirt. "Call me Francesca. Shall we sit?" I'm guided over to a booth, Allie placing her hand on my elbow, and I can't help but feel calmed, reassured when she slips her hand into mine under the table. It's as if she can read my hesitation, sense that I'm thinking this is the worst idea I've ever gone along with.
"Your sister is late," she tells Allie, "She's with David, picking out baby clothes."
Allie smiles politely and nods. But it's a façade – there's no spark in her eye to match her smile – and I'm desperate to find out why this entire situation is necessary.
"They'll be here in ten. Can I get you a drink?"
I've never felt so pressured in my life to choose a suitable beverage – this woman's judgement on her future son-in-law depends entirely on what I order. I swallow, my throat clogging up. "Coffee please," I manage a weak smile, "Allie, what are you having, darling?"
She kicks me under the table. Clearly, pet names are not an enthusiasm of hers – maybe she could have been less violent about getting that across, though. "I'll have a camomile tea please, Mum."
Her Mum nods, and gets out the booth to go get the drinks.
"What was that for?!" I hiss, nursing my injured shin.
"Trouble in paradise?" A feminine voice giggles, simpering and I look upwards to see a tall, slim blonde – think Barbie doll – stood at our table.
Allie shoots me a warning look. "Hey Melissa, Mum said you would be here soon. How was your shopping trip?"
She completely refuses to acknowledge the brown haired, chiselled man beside her sister, and I wonder what that's all about.
"It was great thank you," Melissa slides into the booth. "But you're being rude; I believe introductions are in order."
"Oh," Allie shakes herself, and she appears distracted, edgy. "This is Joshua. My fiancé." She rolls the word around in her mouth and it sounds good – there's a ring to it. I smile, and take the hand that's offered to me by Melissa, and her partner.
"I've been dying to meet you," she smiles, "it's nice that Allie's found someone, at last."
Her tone oozes patronisation and I can't stand her already, I've decide, and a glance in Allie's direction indicates she can't either.
"This is David," she plants a kiss on the looming man's cheek and he nods at me, regarding me with curiosity. "My husband and the father of our child." His hand wanders to her stomach and he caresses it in that sickening manner than smug couples do. I don't have to look to the left of me to know that Allie will have undoubtedly rolled her eyes.
I smile, congratulate them, but the words taste sour, spoilt. I wonder if they can tell I don't mean them – that I'm pretending.
My hand wanders to Allie's thigh – she's remarkably quiet, and with a family as exaggerated as hers, who can blame her – and I stroke it. She doesn't push me away, so I continue tracing shapes on the denim of her jeans. She looks at me questioningly, but there's gratitude in her eyes as I make menial conversation, waiting for her Mother to return so that we can busy ourselves with our drinks.
"So how come we haven't heard about you before?" David questions, and suddenly I feel as though I'm in a police interrogation room; spotlight shone in my face as all eyes watch for the slightest sign that I'm lying. "Allie's not one to hide her conquests away," he grins, "You must be special."
I can't speak, my own voice box betrays me. But Allie comes to my rescue. "He is special," she simpers in a chillingly good impression of her sister. "He's special, and he's mine."
I smile, hoping it resembles that and not a grimace. I don't want to look like a serial killer.
"That's great," Melissa beams, "We're happy for you. Where did you meet?"
"At a vintage book fair –"
"Near the Thames –"
"She wanted a book that I wanted -"
"But in exchange for my number he let me have it." Allie finished with a smile.
"Wow," David smirks. "You even finish each other's sentences. How romantic." The sarcasm practically oozes from his words, and I feel myself overcome with a sudden desire to punch him. Not being an especially violent individual, I wonder what's come over me. I don't like him – and by the looks of things, nor does Allie.
I want to know why.

Women in State Government: Still Too Few
by Susan J. Carroll
in The Book of the States, Vol. 48 edited by The Council of State Governments (Lexington, KY: The Council of State Governments, 2016).

Women in State Government: Historical Overview and Current Trends
by Susan J. Carroll
Chapter in The Book of the States, edited by The Council of State Governments, 2004
Women have significantly increased their numbers among state government officials over the past several decades. However, despite a recent increase in the number of women governors, women's progress, especially at the statewide elective and state legislative levels, has slowed. The future for women in state government would seem to depend, at least in part, upon the strength of efforts to actively recruit women for elective and appointive positions.
Are US Women Legislators Accountable to Women? The Complementary Roles of Feminist Identity and Women's Organizations
by Susan J. Carroll
2003, 14 pages
This report was prepared by Susan J. Carroll, senior CAWP scholar, for a conference held at St. John's College, University of Manitoba, in May, 2003. While we have considerable evidence that women legislators give greater priority to women's issues than their male colleagues, we know less about why they do so. What is the process underlying the substantive representation of women by women legislators? Why does the representation of women by women legislators happen? This paper examines these questions with particular attention to the role of women's organizations and networks.

That being said, Kyuuju acts more ethically than Chikage. He doesn't seem to want to mix it up just for the fun of getting into a fight.
I am guessing the main three are the ones you mentioned, though. The Choshu (Choushuu) aren't wiped out yet, though. For one thing, Kyou (the guy with the gun) seems to be working with them.

Clans and history:
In 1853, US warships under Matthew Perry arrived in Japan and forced the country to open to the West. The country split into two main factions: one wanting to "expel the foreigners and support the emperor" and the other supporting the Tokugawa Shogunate, the military regime that had controlled the country for the past 200 years, keeping the emperor as a figurehead.
Among major clans in Japan, the Choushuu clan was with the pro-Emperor, anti-foreign faction. The Aizu clan was for the shogunate. The Satsuma clan (and also the current emperor) wanted to bring the two sides together. The Satsuma wanted Japan to modernize quickly by learning from the foreigners.
Kyoto was controlled by the Choushuu clan. In the early 1860s, there were many cases of violence between the Choushuu faction and the Aizu and Satsuma factions in Kyoto. To keep order in Kyoto, in 1863 the Shogun formed the Shinsengumi from samurai (and even non-samurai) swordsmen unattached to any clan. But the Shinsengumi were fairly violent, and people feared them as much as the other violence.
In September 1863, Aizu and Satsuma forced the Choushuu out of Kyoto, with the help of the Shinsengumi.
In July 1864 came the Ikedaya affair, in which the Shinsengumi broke up a gathering of Choushuu rebels at the Ikedaya inn. They had supposedly been planning to burn Kyoto. The Shinsengumi became much more respected at this point.
In August 1864, the Choushuu tried to break into the Imperial palace and kidnap the emperor away from the Shogun's forces to be the head of a new regime. The Aizu and Satsuma defeated them, but many escaped. The Shogun sent an expedition against them under a Satsuma general, but he refrained from fighting and allowed some Choushuu leaders to commit suicide and end their rebellion.
Later, the Satsuma joined the Choushuu in favor of getting rid of the Shogun. In 1868, the Shogun's forces (including the Shinsengumi) were finally defeated by the Choushuu and Satsuma, and the new regime under the Meiji Emperor began.
I think this show is taking some liberties with history, but is following it generally. I just cobbled this together from various Wikipedia articles, since I need to know more about this period, too.

Then from history (and seems like the direction this series is taking) we know the eventual fates of our Shinsengumi bishies.
...although Kazuma...I'm loving him as much as Hijikata.
Thanks for the history info Kaoru, sure puts everything in better perspective.

The show has indeed been (surprisingly) more or less faithful to history so far, but I think that is quickly going to change. The story seems like it's going to focus on Chizuru's father and that medicine of his, which it goes without saying, isn't real. The villains introduced in episode 4 are also original characters and not real people.

About the age of the anime characters aren't the same as the historical characters... they called Heisuke a kids lol and you listed he's 20 and i believe he's around 15 or so in the anime... and also Isami is suppose to be an old man compared to Hijikata. I read from wikipedia that Okita is suppose to be the second youngest of the members.
Thanks for the info again so i guess I can't really rely on the historical figures to know their ages. I'll just estimate.

Too many factions and major players, and it's become confusing trying to figure out who belongs to which team! I guess it's easier to follow along if one knows enough historical background about 19th century Japan. Then again I don't think the animators are specifically targeting a universal (Western) audience. Good thing there's Google, eh?
I think part of the poetic romance behind the real-life Shinsengumi is that you have this group of talented swordsmen who, for the most part, died fairly young fighting for a cause that they truly believed in at a major turning point in Japan's history-- youth empowerment of sorts, anyone?
Anyways, does anyone else think that Hakuouki will have a second season? There are only nine episodes to go, and so far the series have barely scratched the surface, plot-wise. Things are starting to get really interesting, too. Either the animators will do a shoddy rush job of the remaining episodes, or the studio probably has a second season planned to tie things up...??

Watched until episode 3 yet to watch episode 4 was caught up with old animes . Though good to hear <Teaser>Sannan is turning to dark side </Teaser>. Regarding episode 3 what I really liked was the sword fight . The sword play was realistic and attention to detail was pretty good . But they could lose the the PS Effect after every sword strike ?? . Have they copy/pasted this from the game? IMO does look out of place . Red Eyed Protagonist was sweet, loved his sense of calm and style . This show is finally picking up pace in terms of plot . If the first two episode were introductory the the 3rd episode was a transitional . Chriruzu has earned her spurs I was hoping to see her don Shinsengumi Robes . I mean her service even as a messenger earned her the right , And speaking from a tactical p.o.v. her civilian clothes make her stand out . And that way she is more prone to attacks .
Regarding the discussion on 13 episodes ? We have to keep checking viewer ratings . If this show is popular, it can get an extension to 6 month slot . Ghost 07 & Darker than Black all started out as 12/13 episodes anime, but later got extended .

Ugh...I guess I am alone in my despise for Hiji. Well, I don't really like the girl all that much either so I don't care for the couple I guess.
And this series doesn't do justice to my image of Okita. Come on, the guy is supposed to be a freaking hawtshawt prodigy.
Also, I doubt the credibility of the pics couple of pages earlier that were claimed as Saito's and Harada's (?) or someone. I have seen some other pics claiming to be them and I have seen those pics used for other members of shinsengumi too. But of course, they couldn't have been anywhere near as bisho as in the anime lol.

With all the Saito pics, they are prob a "few" *sarcasm* who favor Saito over Hiji. I'm firmly in the Hiji camp. The hair, that voice, his design. Go Hiji!
Aw, I can't give Presage any more cookies for Hiji x Chizu pics.

I could care less about the pics, I have always admired Saito while I have always found Hiji at fault. I don't care how this anime has depicted things, the truth is, Hiji was the one at fault regarding Yamanami's death. And a lot of other things. Basically an arrogant idiot who couldn't even hold the rest of shinsengumi together after Kondou's death. (I mean, after their leader's death, most of the core shinsengumi must have been dying to get revenge or something, and yet, they broke apart. I can't see anything other than Hiji's arrogance being responsible, it was hinted by Shinpachi too)
Saito, on the other hand, was more skilled with the sword and stayed loyal to everyone he served. Although I like everyone from the shinsengumi, Hiji is by and far my least favorite. And maybe it's just my aesthetic sense but I don't like Hiji's design either, way way too Bisho for me. Actually, the only ones I actually like the design of are Saito, Inoue, Yamanami and Kondou. Even Okita has a "wtf o.0" design. Screw them, they made me dislike the design of my favorite shinsengumi
On a positive note, the VAs are all fucking awesome.

this is more of a smallmouth bass bait and largemouth bass too.
for trout try out some hard baits like the xts speed lure minnow 1 5/8inch
and spoons or rooster tails are also a bait that can work for trout though i recommend live bait or dead cricket of a sort if those others dont produce
for soft baits try using something like grubs or something but i dont recommend that

Ashley Hebert may not have found true love when she competed for the affections of Brad Womack on The Bachelor, but apparently she hasn't given up (on finding love on a dating competition series). ABC announced today that Hebert will be the seventh Bachelorette when the series resumes this May.
Set to premiere on Monday, May 23rd and then moving to its regularly scheduled timeslot, Mondays from 8:00-10:01 p.m., ET on May 30th, Season 7 of The Bachelorette will follow Hebert as she looks for love among a crop of eligible men. While Hebert has experience at the competition part of this franchise, this time around she'll be the center of attention and who knows, maybe she'll find true love.
I'm guessing this is good news as I expect Hebert must've been pretty popular if she was chosen to be the next bachelorette. I'm not going to pretend to get the appeal of The Bachelor or The Bachelorette, but at the same time, I'm not judging you if you're a fan. (I watch Jersey Shore every Thursday without apology.) As far as this ABC dating reality competition series goes, what I do see of it will rely entirely on whether or not Joel McHale covers it on The Soup. In that context (alone), I'm looking forward the new season.

According to a recent survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, 91 percent of adult internet users in the United States rely on search engines to find information, and 78 percent get news online. Similarly, among teenagers, where smartphone adoption increased substantially and mobile access to the internet is pervasive, one in four is a "cell-mostly" user who accesses the web through a cell phone. Online resources continue to shape every aspect of our lives, and are enriching, extending, and transforming schools.
Only 16% of students feel "very prepared" to conduct research, according to a survey of over 1,500 students by Credo, an information skills solutions provider.
Imagine access to your district's email system on mobile devices tripled over two weeks. This is exactly what Deb Karcher, CIO of Miami Dade Public Schools and her team faced after Christmas 2012. "Santa Syndrome," a term coined by Karcher, resulted in the 50,000 users accessing the email system on personal devices before winter break jumping to 150,000 when the schools reopened after the holidays. Fortunately, the district has plenty of bandwidth to support such an influx to their enterprise applications, including email.

Just 20 miles from Manhattan sits the community of Roslyn Heights, N.Y., where its 3,300 students are among the best and brightest, consistently scoring above county, state, and national averages on standardized tests and College Board exams. In the last few years, the Roslyn (N.Y.) Public Schools implemented the latest technology and exposed students to world culture.
District IT leaders are prioritizing BYOD, assessment readiness, and broadband access for their schools, despite that 80 percent predict flat or declining IT budgets for the upcoming year, according to the Consortium for School Networking's (CoSN) first-of-its-kind National IT Leadership Survey.
More than 50% of teachers say that almost all of their students have sufficient access to digital tools at school, but only 18% say students have access to the tools they need at home.
The Pew Research Center survey of over 2,400 Advanced Placement and National Writing Project teachers also found that 84% of teachers believe today's technologies are leading to greater disparities between affluent and disadvantaged schools and districts.
In February, U.S. Rep. George Miller of California introduced the Transforming Education Through Technology Act, a bill designed to help schools, districts and states improve teaching and learning through technology.
iCreatemyCreate iPad App The myCreate app is based on Stop-Action Movie (SAM) Animation software. Students can edit videos by slowing down or speeding up the delivery of frames, duplicating frames to lengthen scenes and adding music or audio recordings to their videos. Completed videos can be saved to personal albums and/or shared with family members and friends via Facebook, YouTube, Vimeo, or HapYak.
Despite my time being cut short at TCEA 2013, thanks to a huge winter storm slamming into the Northeast where I live, I was still able to learn about a variety of new products for the K12 world. Many products come together to form a modern, 21st century classroom: hardware, software, mobile applications, even furniture, which were all showcased at TCEA.

The warm weather hasn't stopped the wind from blowing or the foliage from turning gold and red and orange. As the leaves fall, and the trick-or-treaters prepare to make their rounds, here in Baltimore it's also "Pumpkin Papers" season. Recalling this fascinating chapter of the Cold War is as much a part of an anticommunist's autumn as little kids dressed like ghosts or storefronts decorated with dried cornstalks and hay bales.
Allen Weinstein, R.I.P.
Even for those who have not been through an undergraduate academic program, the figure of the biased historian is well known. In the hands of biased historians, the past morphs into an ideological axe to grind. Methodology is the tool that forces the facts to conform to their theory, and that jettisons any stray facts that don't fit.
But this was not always so. Once upon a time, there were historians whose intellectual probity led them to follow the evidence no matter where it led, even if it damaged their own "side." Professor Allen Weinstein belonged to this almost extinct group. Weinstein, who taught at Smith College, Georgetown, and Boston University, and who was for three years the National Archivist in Washington, died last week at 77.
Duped at Yalta
In the 1952 election, the Republican Party theme was "20 years of treason," which, whether sincerely believed or cynically exploited, perfectly tapped into the public perception that the FDR and Truman administrations had been honeycombed with communist spies. For Americans, panicked by the Soviet acquisition of nuclear weapons and the communist takeover of China, this slogan answered so much. Why did FDR endorse Stalin's imperialist designs at the conference at Yalta in 1945?
The Witness Still Stands
In 1948, when confronted with a cache of damning documents in his handwriting and typescript collected a decade before by his then-comrade Whittaker Chambers, Alger Hiss, a lawyer, State Department official, and a Soviet spy code-named ALES, responded in the following fashion: "I immediately directed that the papers be turned over to the Department of Justice, as it was evident that they were copies and summaries of State Department documents which warranted inquiry."
Contrast this with Chambers' response when the documents' authenticity was challenged. His government benefactor, Rep. Richard Nixon (R-Cal.), submitted the microfilmed portions of the cache to a photographic expert to determine their date. Chambers' claim that they were from the time, in the 1930s, when he and Hiss worked for Soviet military intelligence, was rejected by said expert, who determined that the kind of film used was a new product. In other words this particular evidence, at least, had to have been faked. When a worried Nixon threw that at Chambers, his response was that "God must be against me." (It turned to be a temporary setback, for the expert had been wrong that such film wasn't being manufactured in the 1930s.)
Islam, Communism, and the Progressive Class
Last week, our ruling Progressive class cheered New York Democratic mayor de Blasio's disbanding of an NYPD intelligence unit that had been keeping watch over the city's Muslim community. Republican President George W. Bush's mantra that "Islam is a religion of peace," in response to 9/11 and Muslim terrorism in general, had drawn similar plaudits from the same Progressives. But this protectiveness does not mean that Progressivism is Islamophilic. Nor are the words and actions from on high that minimize Islam's relationship with the terror that has struck America in the last generation attributable to ignorance.
Tea Party Game Show With Guest Host Cass Sunstein
Cass Sunstein recently published two short essays-here and here-on the current political struggles between "tea-party" conservatives and progressives. In the first essay, Sunstein attempts to link our current political fracturing with the famous standoff between Whittaker Chambers and Alger Hiss. His second essay, which compares Whittaker Chambers and Ayn Rand's divergent philosophies and then links their disagreements to various tendencies within present-day conservatism, is much better.

Alison Peck, MD
Patient Testimonials
I called every single (and I mean EVERY SINGLE) fertility clinic in all of SoCal, and ended up going with HRC Encino-and I am very glad I did. Dr. Alison Peck, her nurse Jennie Tran, and the entire staff were amazing to work with. Fertility issues can be fraught with fear and anxiety, but everyone at HRC was so supportive during my treatments, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. My appointments were quick and efficient, I was never left waiting like I have in other offices, and Jennie was also so quick to respond to any and all of my questions. Entrusting Dr. Peck and the HRC family with my health was an excellent decision.-Carley S., N/A

I BOUNCED back from the Aston Villa DNB nightmare by landing a 7pt Super Single as Barcelona clinched the Spanish title with a 1-0 win at Atletico Madrid.
It was almost a full house with my 3-1 both teams to score treble winning easily – there were 15 goals in my three picks at Sassuolo, Den Haag and Atalanta – but Valencia beat the too Treble when they were surprisingly held at home to Celta and give Sevilla a chance of pipping them to a Champions League spot.
I've taken 1pt off my profit on Barca after covering the draw at 9-2 and I've no regrets about doing so.
It looked to have been a good enough day on the site and again it was mainly about goals so maybe when I sit down discuss our plans for next season (and changes are guaranteed) there will be more goals tips.
On Monday there's a dead game between West Brom and Chelsea and with Jose Mourinho putting out a strong side I'm adding a late Super Single of Chelsea to win. Mourinho must mean business with that line up – and it worked today for Johnb with his 16-1 tip.
There are two matches in Serie A with Champions League chasers Napoli – a team we always worry about trusting – trying to recover from their Europa League exit in Ukraine by beating relegated Cesena at home.
Surely they won't let us down this time but both Napoli and Fiorentina, at home to relegated Parma, are short prices so we really need them to win by at least two.
Besiktas must win at home to Konyaspor to have a chance of staying in the Turkish title hunt and there are some Scandinavian games to look at.
Many people will throw Napoli, Fiorentina and Besiktas together on a line and the treble pays about 4-5 with Ladbrokes but I'm not sure that's value with both Italian clubs out of form and in Besiktas feeling the pressure too.
Matches come thick and fast in the Ireland and champions and unbeaten league leaders Dundalk travel to non-league UCC in the League Cup after letting us down on Friday by only beating Derry 1-0.
They are generally available at 1-4 – although I noticed William Hill coupons have 1-14 – and boss Stephen Kenny has confirmed he will rotate his squad with youth players Georgie Poynton, Anton Reilly, Paul Finnegan and Ciaran O'Connor getting a run-out.
This is the first meeting between the sides so there is no h2h history but Dundalk are the holders and will keen to progress to the semi-finals. They're likely to win but by how much would just be a guess because while UCC have taken some decent scalps in the tournament I don't know how good they are.
In Sweden Djurgarden can go top with a win at Halmstad and are a best 11-10 with bet365 and Ladbrokes. Djurgarden have won five in a row and face a second-bottom side with just one win in the entire campaign – although it was a decent one against Elfsborg.
Djurgarden have netted 17 goals in their eight games – 13 in their last four – and striker Nyasha Mushekwi is the league's top scorer with seven goals in six starts. He is 5-1 at bet365 to break the deadlock and 8-5 to net at any time.
I thought about taking Djurgarden to score 2+ as the Super Single but it's just 21-20 at Coral so with Halmstad unlikely to net two – they've bagged just four all season – I'm going with the straight win. Djurgarden lost this fixture last season but won on their two previous visits.
Instead of taking Napoli, Fiorentina and Besiktas to win I'm doing a 1pt treble on both to score in all three matches and the odds reflect the chances so be careful.
Napoli have kept just one clean sheet in seven and face a side who have been playing with a bit of freedom since being relegated with six goals in four games. Fiorentina have conceded 14 in six so although they tackle a poor Parma outfit their defence is fragile and Parma have netted five on their last five visits to Florence – although on three occasions they drew a blank.
Konyaspor are tricky opponents and their last five meetings with Besiktas have seen both score so it's worth taking. Odds are on the treble are so good a Trixie can be done but I'm sticking with the 1pt treble.

A Little Bit of Paradise

There was also an abundance of seafood everywhere, so we had our obligatory fill. Unfortunately, liquor was a little difficult to purchase bar paying extortionate prices in high end hotels. However, after a bit of detective work, we managed to find the only liquor store on the island. ...
Apparently navigating the Homfray Strait could be a little tricky so the plan was to time our arrival so we'd be going through it with the current. That meant leaving Long Island at about 9:00am.

Originally posted on FOX Sports | Last updated 1/4/13
With the ink not even dry on the New York Jets' dreadful season, Rex Ryan fled to the Bahamas only to be photographed lounging poolside at a resort hotel, book in hand, with an interesting tattoo gracing his right biceps. It showed his wife, Michelle, wearing an unmistakably green Jets jersey emblazoned with the unmistakable No. 6 of embattled quarterback Mark Sanchez. And nothing else. The Daily News ran a front-page photo Friday and by lunchtime it was an Internet sensation. That's pretty much the way the NFL team's soap-opera season played out. Ryan was criticized for sticking with Sanchez despite losing efforts when Tim Tebow was available. The Jets finished the season 6-10. When approached by a Daily News reporter, Ryan cursed and bolted with his wife. There were no other jersey numbers tattooed on Ryan's arm, based on the photo. But it did sport a large shamrock with the names of his children.

Corby: Don't Tell Me We're Lost?!
Corby peered down at the drawing that rested gently in Geoff's overly large hands. She jumped off of the bed and shuffled over to the table they both sat at.
"May I?" Corby asked Leigh, gesturing to the book.
"Of course." she smiled and watched Corby take the book, sitting back on the bed. She flicked through the pages.
It was her, Geoff and Leigh. Her, Geoff, Leigh, her, Geoff, Leigh. Pages and pages of the same thing, Leigh in Geoff's arms along with Corby standing at the side with a stop watch. Frightened, Corby threw the book to the floor and watched their heads snap up.
She stood up and grabbed her bag, putting things inside. Geoff was suddenly next to her.
"And what do you think you're doing?" he asked, taking her bag.
"I'm going to get some chicken. I'm hungry. You guys want any?" she took her bag back and tucked a piece of her hair behind her small ears. Geoff paused and looked back to Leigh.
"I am quite hungry..." Leigh encouraged, standing up also.
"Alright, we'll all go." Geoff insisted, opening the door and walking out ahead.
They all stumbled around the empty streets, the gentle sunrise peering over the top of the highest buildings in the city. It was approaching morning, and the sky was still at its softest pink. They turned around an alley, hoping to find some 24-hour shopping centre. Only to find a maze of buildings, houses, walls, graffiti.
"Is that the sixth time i've seen that dustbin? Are we lost?" Leigh questioned.
"Maybe we should turn back..." Corby insisted, pulling Geoff back to the direction they had just came.
"What an excellent idea, if only we knew where back was..." Geoff mumbled.
"You mean we're lost?!" Leigh shouted, "Great. Fantastic. I've been kidnapped by two fictional characters from my dream-"
"Hey. I'm not fictional-" Corby growled, interrupting her.
"and now we're stuck in the middle of winding buildings. The only food with us is a bottle of water and some cereal bars." Leigh finished.
"Well, it could be worse, we could be him." Corby whispered, nodding once to the half dead tramp sitting leant up against a wall with a bottle of alcohol in his hand and a long beard down to his belly button.

The first question was about the bailout. Nothing notable.
The second question was from someone named Chuck Pardee. Pardee asserted that Tina Fey, many reporters, and the Democrats make their living "embellishing the facts." After criticizing the press for treating Sarah Palin unfairly, Pardee concluded:
"I guess my question is, do the American people want a straight-shooter or the fluff and stuff?"
Surprisingly, Giuliani said that the American people preferred the straight-shooter and John McCain just so happens to be one. Pardee, by the way, is the "founder and president" of Newsbull.com. He has donated the maximum $2,300 to McCain. It's a shock he didn't ask a tougher question. (And if you're wondering, yes, the McCain campaign knows the affiliations of reporters before they are permitted to ask a question on these conference calls.)
The third and final question came from a woman named Sherry Riggs (sp?). Her affiliation was not announced. She took exception to Giuliani's claim from earlier in the call that Obama had never managed a budget. A hard-hitting question? Not really. Riggs insisted that Obama had indeed managed a budget "with William Ayers" when they both sat on the board of the Woods Fund years ago. According to Riggs, Obama and Ayers funded projects that were "socialistic in nature" with a $450 billion treasure chest. That seemed a bit high to me, but I'm sure the McCain campaign would only allow legitimate professionals to ask questions on these calls.
And then the call ended.
Newsbull looks like just an aggregator and bulletin board focused on pro-life issues. Interesting how someone who runs a site like that even gets press emails inviting him on to these calls, but stranger things have happened I guess. As for the Woods Fund of Chicago, the board on which Obama sat with Ayers, it's worth just a little less than $450 billion. The 2006 annual report lists total assets of $58 million. But I guess I'm just being naive, because obviously they're not going to list in their annual report the $449.94 or so billion that they're secretly spreading around to worldwide socialistic and terrorist groups (note to Woods Fund: that's a joke intended at the expense of loopy right-wingers).
Anyway, there's a reason Giuliani took just three questions, and actually only one journalistic question. From the New York Daily News:
Rudy Giuliani is positioning his law firm to cash in on Wall Street's train wreck - a move that has become a gift to political enemies of his pal John McCain.
Even as the nation's $700 billion, taxpayer-funded Wall Street bailout was still being hashed out, the former mayor announced Thursday his high-powered law firm has set up a task force.
Its mission: to help corporate clients get a piece of the action - or keep the federal wolves from the door.
"Our team of former government officials and experienced attorneys in the fields of legislation, enforcement and finance are equipped to guide institutions in this quickly evolving and complex environment," Giuliani noted in a press release from his law firm, Bracewell & Giuliani.
Giuliani is not the only one poised to profit from opportunities created by the mega-meltdown, but he is the most politically famous.
Giuliani is a prime surrogate for Republican McCain, who has called the economic meltdown "the greatest crisis since the end of World War II" and has assailed Wall Street for "unbridled
The News published this last Friday. Strange that Team McCain would want to use him so soon in its aftermath.
