SUNSPORT star Rob Huff picked up British motor racing's highest honour in
front of a who's who of the sport.
The new World Touring Car Champion was awarded the British Racing Drivers
Club's Gold Star for best performance by a Brit on the international stage.
For the second year running, our columnist pipped Formula One aces Lewis
Hamilton and Jenson Button in a points race devised by the BRDC.
And with tongue firmly in cheek, Huffy told the beaten F1 boys: "Sorry, chaps,
I feel bad for you guys."
Huffy was presented with the Gold Star and the accompanying Richard Seaman
trophy in front of an audience including Red Bull's Adrian Newey and
Christian Horner, Mercedes boss Ross Brawn, Sir Frank Williams, Sir Stirling
Moss, John Surtees and Indy 500 winner Dario Franchitti.
The Chevrolet ace said: "Some of them probably didn't even know who I am. But
they do now!"
He spoke of his pride at collecting the award "in a room full of superstars".
And glancing at a group of relatives and friends, he said: "We're just a
little family from Stapleford, outside Cambridge.
"They've given me massive support along the way and to bring them here
wow what a wonderful thing to be able to give them."
Huffy, who tied up the WTCC at a dramatic final round in Macau, said it was
"amazing and surreal" to be the champ.
And he added: "We've had a little bit of a party and there are a few more to
But ironically, he is now out of work as Chevrolet have pulled the plug on
their WTCC campaign.
He said: "It's a strange situation. Yes, I am a world champion and I've had an
amazing year but I haven't got a job for next year yet, so now I have to
focus on that.
"If things were fixed already I could keep basking in the glory and sit at
home with my feet up feeling smitten with myself.
"But the reality is I need to go out there and find a job."
Huff said he is considering all options, including the British Touring Car
Championship, GTs, the DTM and even Aussie V8s.
He added: "I'm confident I'll get something but I'd rather do it sooner than
"There's nothing more I would love than to defend my world title with the RML
team, who prepared the Chevrolets, and a Chevy Cruze.
"But at the same time maybe it's job done and time to move on. I don't know.
It will be governed by what I get offered."
Newey and Horner also picked up awards at the glittering gala in London's
Grand Connaught Rooms for their triple world championship glory with Red
Franchitti was handed the Earl Howe Trophy awarded to the highest-placed Brit
in the Indy 500.
And British Touring Car Champion Gordon Shedden was given a Silver Star as
best driver in a domestic series.
But there was also a heavy accent on youth, with a host of rising stars
collecting gongs and giving British motorsport huge hope for the future.
They included GP2 star James Calado, Formula 3 champ Jack Harvey, Auto GP
series victor Adrian Quaife-Hobbs and Jake Dennis, winner of this year's
McLaren Autosport Young Driver of the Year award.

Haru circled above the pair calmly. They would soon leave for their house on the outskirts of the city. But first she had to make sure the little girl had not seen her. Reaching out with her mind, she brushed the little girl's conscience. Sophia. Her name was Sophia. She searched Sophia's recent memories swiftly. She withdrew with a muttered curse. It had been so close! She could not afford to be so careless again. Next time there may not be an anxious relative to save her from discovery.
She dropped back down to the woods, wanting to make sure the girl did not think up any far fetched ideas as to how she had gotten away so fast. Once she touched the floor her wings began to shrink back into her skin until all that was left was two little wing shaped marks on her back which glowed white for a few moments before turning an inconspicuous brown color that blended well with her golden skin. Pulling her elbow length black hair into a pony tail, she retrieved her bag and fled from the woods at an inhuman speed. Once she came back into sight of the little girl and her mother she slowed considerably to the pace of an average jogger and ran past. She was still in her school uniform but she hoped they would not notice or wonder why she was jogging in her school skirt. Once she had whizzed past the pair, who were walking at a slow and aimless pace, she looked around for a way back to the woods. She had to fly, had to run. It was safe here no longer.

How do I choose the right doctor? It's daunting.
I have 3 options: a 3 hr drive to a big city, 1 hour to a town with 3 options. Or 1 spa 10 minutes away. Are big city prices inflated? Are the skills of big city Drs any better? All websites and reviews seem equal. Looking to correct acne scars, hyperpigmentation, fine lines, as well as lipo or coolscupt.
Doctor Answers 2
Acne Scarring -- Requires a Combination of Fractional Laser Resurfacing, Fillers Like Bellafill, Subcision and Eclipse Micropen
I suggest consulting with several board certified cosmetic dermatologists or plastic surgeons to evaluate your options. These procedures should be provided by someone with a lot of experience and expertise. Best, Dr. Emer
Web reference: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCa6C2fuS-AgOnvBjr6_VSQg
Deciding on a doctor is the most important decision you make for aesthetic procedures.
This is the most important decision when planning on getting aesthetic procedures. A list of things you should check:
- Board Certification - Should be one of the boards recognized by the ABMS and in the Specialty of Dermatology, Otolaryngology/Facial Plastics, Plastic Surgery, or Ophthalmology. Anything that says Cosmetic in its certification is not recognized by the ABMS and qualifications are much less stringent.
- Check out the schools and training programs the Doctor went to.
- You can check out the physician profile on their license and see if there were/are any sanctions and/or prior malpractice claims.
- Check out reviews - keeping in mind that pleasing everyone is impossible.
- Ask your friends what they have heard and who they go to.
- DON'T BASE YOUR DECISION ON PRICE - You most often will be disappointed. Discounted services are often the only way less experienced doctors can compete with the more well known and better physicians.
- Is the doctor a lecturer or trainer? Particularly for the procedure you are interested in.
- Look at before and after photos, videos, social media post. Become familiar with the practice and see if you are comfortable with their message and their results. Don't fall for the stock/company photos that docs try to pass off as their own.
- Does the doctor perform the procedures you are interested in or does a PA or nurse? This may or may not be important for your results. In general, physicians will charge more for their work.
- Location is important. Some procedures need routine follow ups and if traffic and parking are difficult, it can become burdensome.
- How long has the physician been doing the procedure you are wanting? There is a learning curve to all procedures but sometimes the device/procedure has only be available for a short time. In these cases, waiting might be your best option to see what results can be expected in the long run.
- Is the interaction with the office staff efficient and friendly, or do you have to wait on hold or hours for a return phone call? This becomes important particularly if there is a concern or complication regarding a procedure you have just had.

Basically, a function in virsh that does something like (untested): /* If the named option is present, read that file into * buffer; if the option is not present, then decide whether * to read stdin or give an error. */ int vshFileRead(vshControl *ctl, const vshCmd *cmd, const char *option, char **buffer) { char *file = NULL; int ret = vshCommandOptString(cmd, option, &file); if (ret < 0) { vshError(ctl, _("option %s must not be empty"), option); return ret; } if (ret == 0) { if (ctl->lastCommand || (ctl->imode && isatty(STDIN_FILENO))) { file = "-"; } else { vshError(ctl, _("refusing to use implicit stdin")); return -1; } } return virFileReadAll(file, limit, buffer); } and which would replace this code: - if (vshCommandOptString(cmd, "file", &from) <= 0) + if (vshCommandOptString(cmd, "file", &from) < 0) { + vshError(ctl, "%s", _("malformed xml argument")); return false; + } if (virFileReadAll(from, VIRSH_MAX_XML_FILE, &buffer) < 0) return false; with the simpler: if (vshFileRead(ctl, cmd, "file", &buffer) < 0) return false; That proposal also implies adding a new ctl->lastCommand flag, which tracks whether a given command is the last command given to virsh. That flag would default to false, and be set to true when you use the one-command 'virsh command arg' form, or when you use the multi-command 'virsh "command; command"' form and the parser detects the end of the input string before issuing the last command. Hmm, looking at my above example, it looks like it is indeed easier to put the "-" logic into virFileReadAll, after all, but that virFileReadAll must always be given a non-NULL filename (that is, the conversion from NULL to "-" is done in virsh, but the conversion from "-" to stdin is done in util). -- Eric Blake eblake redhat com +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org

If you're thinking of adding something a little different to your outside space this summer, then why not use railway sleepers in your garden? From the natural worn look of reclaimed timbers to the fresh clean edges of newly cut sleepers, the humble railway sleeper is a versatile addition to any garden space.
Why railway sleepers?
Using railway sleepers in the garden is a great way of adding a touch of character to your space. For decades, landscape gardeners have been using the hardy nature of railway sleepers in a multitude of different ways – from retaining walls, raised flower beds and boundaries, to garden paths and steps.
Their natural and often rustic appearance suits all types of garden design, from a chic contemporary space to a traditional cottage garden and even down to a small front garden plot. Their hardy nature ensures that they'll last for years to come, and if you've got kids who love playing out in the garden then they're a great choice for a kid-proof space too.
What are the different types and which should I use?
As with any addition to your garden landscaping, getting the right type of sleeper for your space is crucial. There are a few different types of railway sleepers to use in your garden design, but here are the main three types to help create that garden space you've always dreamed of.
Reclaimed railway sleepers
When most people think of using railway sleepers in the garden, what they are probably thinking of are reclaimed railway sleepers. These are timbers which have served as the supporting beams under railway tracks, which have since been dug out and replaced by concrete structures. This variety are notably denser and heavier than their counterparts, which is reflected in the price. Their density and durability does mean, however, that they will last considerably longer than a new sleeper equivalent.
A lot of people choose to use old railway sleepers in their gardens not just for the quality and density of the timber, but for the pleasing aesthetics that the worn timber brings. Reclaimed sleepers can be used in exactly the same way as newer sleepers, but it's worth noting that in their previous working life they may have been treated with creosotes, to help prolong the life of the timber. This substance has a tendency to seep out of the timber when it gets warm, so they may not be suitable for certain purposes, e.g. building a pond. However, their hardwearing nature means that reclaimed timber sleepers continue to be a popular choice for most garden designs.
Contemporary softwood sleepers
Our most popular of all the railway sleepers that we stock, newly cut softwood railway sleepers provide a sleek finish for almost any design, be it modern or traditional. Just as versatile in their use as the reclaimed timbers, new softwood sleepers can be treated with a variety of finishes, or simply leave the beautiful redwood bare for a contemporary look.
Made from redwood and pressure treated as standard for durability, the benefit of new timbers are that they don't leak the tar or creosotes that reclaimed wood does in hot weather, making them ideal for building ponds, or places where you might come into frequent contact with the wood, such as steps or benches.
Rustic design sleepers
Rustic design sleepers are cut from the same softwood redwood timber as the contemporary finish sleepers, but have retained some of the natural shape and rough finish of the bark. This makes them a very nice option for those looking for the hassle-free option of using new untreated timber but also looking for a rugged look in their garden design.
The rounded edges make a nice feature when stacked horizontally, making them an excellent choice for retaining walls or creating steps. After a time, the natural bark finish will slowly come away from the timber, but will retain the pleasant curved shape. As with the contemporary sleepers, the solid redwood doesn't need to be treated but can benefit from a range of finishes, such as a wood stain or sealant, which can help the longevity of your railway sleepers.
What kind of garden feature could I create?
If you're dreaming up garden designs using railway sleepers, then thanks to their versatile nature they can do just about anything. Their durable finish makes them ideal for raised flower beds, and they are often used as lawn boundaries in landscaping as a cutting edge between the grass, creating some stunning garden features.
Building a raised flower bed using sleepers is a relatively straightforward process. In this video, a simple raised bed structure is built and filled for planting, perfect for a miniature kitchen garden for some summer vegetable growing. This simple structure can be transformed into a pond just as easily, too. If you're taken by the idea but unsure where to start, this tutorial is a step-by-step guide for building a pond from timber sleepers, including the types which are most suited to the job.
Railway sleepers are also a natural choice for retaining walls. Sleepers can be laid either horizontally or vertically, and built up to the desired height. In this video, for example, this budding garden designer has chosen to level off his sloped garden by building a retaining wall from new railway sleepers, which will hold in the large amounts of soil behind.
Get creative with your garden design using railway sleepers by creating a rustic feature with a set of railway sleeper steps – you can even plant fragrant camomile in between open steps for a beautiful scent. Using sleepers vertically can make a striking feature in your garden design, such as a paved patio area, cordoned off with a curved feature wall of sleepers. You could even knock up a quick and easy bench to put on your patio, like in this video below:
How much do I need & how much does it cost?
So, you've got your heart set on using railway sleepers in the garden, but you're not sure how much you're going to need for your project. As with many of our other products, such as guttering, if you bring in your plans and some rough dimensions, then one of our experts at Bradfords can help bring your design together. Alternatively, give us a call to discuss your ideas.
The cost of using railway sleepers in your garden design depends entirely on the project you have in mind, the number of sleepers you need, and what type of finish you go for. Most people choose to leave their railway sleepers bare, letting the natural timber age with time and wear. If you choose to opt for a finish, there are a number of woodcare products on the market, such as stains, fillers and preservers, which could extend the life of your sleepers.
How do I lay them/install them in my space?
Installing railway sleepers in your garden wholly depends on the type of project you are going to be carrying out. If you're using them as a border, for example, then you might want to consider embedding them in concrete for added stability. This video provides a great demonstration of one technique of embedding sleepers for a flower bed border.
If your railway sleeper garden design requires multiple rows, then it's essential to fasten or stake the sleepers together, to ensure they are stable and that the rows remain rigid, otherwise there could be a risk of them toppling over.
What other tools do I need?
For most projects using railway sleepers, essential tools are:
- Saw
- Gloves
- Sandpaper
- Sanding block
- Planer for taking the sharp edge off
- Wood finish
Tips and tricks
One thing to bear in mind is that railway sleepers can be slippery when damp, so if you're planning on using sleepers for a set of steps, then it's a good idea to fasten chicken wire over the top or cut notches in the wood to prevent any accidents.
When handling any timbers, particularly reclaimed railway sleepers, it's a good idea to use protective gloves to protect skin against any creosotes used to treat the wood which may still be present.
The ends of railway sleepers can also be mitred at an angle to create some interesting shapes in your garden design, so get creative!

Audi is known for its understated and modern approach to luxury and design. The Audi A5 certainly falls under that description, but infuses a whisper of alluring curves in a shapely form to set it apart from the rest. Inspired by the company's 2003 Nuvolari grand touring concept, the A5 is a slightly less practical but much sexier two-door alternative to mainstream luxury sedans. It boasts a standard fuel-efficient turbocharged engine, all-wheel drive, a refined interior and plenty of standard or optional luxury features.
It's an overall package that's hard to ignore and as an added bonus, more enthusiastic drivers can enjoy all of these positive attributes along with a significant performance increase in the Audi S5.
Current Audi A5
The Audi A5 coupe and convertible (cabriolet) is mechanically related to the A4. It is powered by a fuel-efficient turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder (2.0T) that produces 220 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual is standard, with an eight-speed automatic optional. A key advantage for those who are subject to slippery weather conditions is the A5's all-wheel drive, which is standard on the coupe and optional on the Cabriolet. With a 40/60-percent front-to-rear power split, the Quattro system provides a close approximation of a rear-wheel-drive car's crisp handling dynamics along with the superior grip of all-wheel drive.
Those who value sophisticated design as much as performance will feel right at home in the Audi A5. The curvaceous silhouette, distinctive Audi one-piece grille and shapely tail end team up to create an extraordinarily appealing look. The Cabriolet may not have a retractable hardtop, but its insulated soft top lowers quickly and prevents the car from having an unflatteringly large rump like most hardtop convertibles.
Inside the A5's handsome four-place cabin are first-rate interior materials along with multi-adjustable front seats that offer daylong touring comfort along with ample support during spirited driving. The back offers seating for two, though most folks can expect a fairly tight fit. The coupe's reasonably sized trunk offers 12.2 cubic feet of space, and the rear seat flips down to accommodate even more cargo. The Cabriolet's trunk is reasonably sized for a convertible at 10.2 cubic feet and, unlike with retractable hardtops, that space remains the same top up or down.
In reviews, we found the 2.0T engine to be more than enough to motivate this slinky sport coupe. Dynamically, the A5 is more like a grand touring coupe than a slick-handling sport coupe, with an emphasis placed on ride comfort. Buyers can add the optional sport-tuned suspension to sharpen the handling, though this admittedly comes at the expense of ride quality.
Overall, the Audi A5 is a solid choice even with tough competition such as the BMW 4 Series and Infiniti Q60, as well as the coupe-only Mercedes-Benz C-Class. But anyone desiring a coupe or convertible that provides a pleasing blend of style, performance and all-wheel-drive security would do well to check out the A5.

'Clash of Clans' maker Supercell buys majority stake in UK's Space Ape
HELSINKI Finnish mobile game maker Supercell has acquired a majority stake in London-based game studio Space Ape, the British company said on its website.
MOSCOW Billionaire Mikhail Fridman's Altimo increased its stake in Russian telecoms group Vimpelcom VIP.N overnight, outmaneuvering arch-rival Telenor (TEL.OL) and potentially settling a decade-old feud between the two.
Altimo and Telenor have bickered over Vimpelcom's strategy and control for the past ten years, culminating in May when Russia's anti-monopoly regulator stepped in with a lawsuit contesting the Norwegian group's dominant position and suspending dividends payouts.
The Russian tycoon's investment vehicle's acquisition overnight of 123.6 million shares, or near 6 percent, from Ukrainian businessman Viktor Pinchuk's Bertofan vehicle, raises its voting rights to 47.85 percent from 41.85 percent.
Telenor holds a 43 percent stake.
"We hope that this deal will remove the question of foreign shareholder control in Vimpelcom and will be a key in solving the conflict between (Russia's regulator) and Telenor," said Altimo.
"The deal will... restore normal corporate governance, increase debt servicing efficiency and allow the payment of dividends."
Telenor, however, was unimpressed with the transaction confirmed by Vimpelcom overnight.
"For us this (deal) is not great news," said Telenor spokesman Dag Melgaard. "Our proposition was that we should split these shares in a way that made our respective stakes in Vimpelcom equal."
An injunction in May banned payouts by Vimpelcom's Russian unit to its Netherlands-registered parent company. As a result, Vimpelcom postponed the payment of final 2011 dividends.
Since Telenor is no longer the dominant shareholder, there are no grounds for the lawsuit to remain in place.
The regulator has said it would consider dropping its lawsuit if the two shareholders resolved their differences, with equal ownership seen as one of the key conditions for the truce.
The regulator was not immediately available for comment.
Telenor proposed earlier this month that it and Altimo should jointly buy the Bertofan's stake in a way that would give the two an equal ownership. Telenor has argued that the Bertofan shares should in reality be counted in with Altimo's holding.
"We have regarded these shares as being in Altimo's control all along, so this underlines what we have said before. Now these shares formally belong to them," Melgaard said.
"Now they bought these shares themselves, so it is a bit uncertain what this means compared to the proposal we made," he added.
Vimpelcom's Russian unit is the country's no.3 mobile phone operator controlling one quarter of the market, and is considered by the Russian government a strategic asset. (Reporting by Maria Kiselyova; Additional reporting by Joachim Dagenborg in Oslo; editing by Megan Davies and Mike Nesbit)

Over his last two starts he has given up eight runs, but only two have been earned. Stauffer has not given up more than three earned runs since his first two starts with Portland, the last one coming July 4.
Mike Bynum last saved a game on July 8. He pitched two innings and walked two to pick up his fifth save of the year. It is the sixth straight game that he has pitched scoreless ball in. He has walked seven over his last three outings but has not given up a hit in those games. Looking for a left reliever in San Diego? Bynum is holding lefties to a .138 batting average this year through Friday.
Yamid Haad is the second player in two nights to reach base five times. He went 4-for-4 with a walk. He added one double and scored a run. Haad is now 9-for-17 over his last five games with a three hit game thrown in.
Ben Risinger went 1-for-2 and was hit by two pitches. He also drove in two runs and committed an error which cost two. Risinger has had RBI's in four of his last five games and five during that time frame.
Miguel Ojeda homered for the second time in three games and has hit safely in all four games he has played in for Portland. He also has knocked in a run in three of the four and is hitting .357 during his rehab stint.
The Beavers stranded 12 runners, including eight in scoring position on the night. Chris Oxspring will return to the mound on Sunday.
Mobile lost 12-5
Gabe Ribas had another night to forget. He lasted just 3.1 innings and left the bases loaded with five runs already in. All three would come around to score and get charged to Ribas. Eight runs, all earned, on five hits and four walks. He gave up two homers for the second consecutive game after not allowing more than one in a game prior to that. Over his last four innings, Ribas has given up 13 runs. His ERA has jumped from 6.07 to 8.04.
Mobile starting pitchers have failed to go at least five innings in five of the last six games, posting a combined ERA of 10.88 over those six games. Mobile is 60-23 when their starting pitcher allows three runs or less; 7-40 when he allows four or more.
Nate Sevier, perfect through his seven games with Mobile saw that come to an end. He allowed all three base runners he inherited to score and gave up two runs of his own. The four hits he allowed were more than he had given up all year with the BayBears. He has also held the last four runners he inherited from scoring.
Jason Clements went 3-for-4 with three runs scored, a double, a homer and two RBI's. It was the third homer of the year for Clements who last hit a homer on April 20 or 80 games ago. That day he hit two jacks. Saturday was the first day since then that he has had two extra base hits in the same game. Clements has had four multi-hit games in his last five and is 10-for-17 over that time frame.
Lake Elsinore won 13-0
Jared Wells had his best start of the year and that takes into account his time with Fort Wayne. Wells was dominant, allowing just three hits and a walk over seven innings of work. The last time he threw shutout ball was on July 4. His best start before Saturday was back in April with Fort Wayne when he gave up three hits in five innings of work. Wells has now won two straight after losing the previous five.
Clark Girardeau made his bullpen debut. He pitched a perfect inning of relief for the Storm. His last outing on August 21, he went four innings before his elbow flared up and the Storm manager did not want to risk further harm to him by keeping him in the rotation. Girardeau has had a stellar season as a starter with Fort Wayne and Lake Elsinore.
Casey Baker extended his hitting streak to nine games, going 2-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI. Baker has scored a run in all but one of the past nine games and has knocked in eight. The leadoff hitter is 17-for-39 over the streak, raising his average from .270 to .291. He also stole two more bases to give him 14 on the year and six during the current streak.
Three games, three hits in each. Kervin Jacobo continues to complete his turnaround. He is hitting .380 in August after another 3-for-5 night. He is 9-for-14 over his past three games with RBI's in each. He knocked in three more on Saturday and has six in his past three.
The Storm (32-30, 66-66) now lead the wildcard race by one game with eight games to play. They have won the last four and seven of eight. The last time they led the Quakes was on August 13. They followed that up by losing seven of eight.
Fort Wayne game suspended
The Wizards and Lugnuts game on Saturday night was suspended in the bottom of the sixth inning with the game tied 3-3, with one out and one on and the Wizards at bat. The game will be resumed on Sunday at 1:00pm and will be played to a nine-inning conclusion.
Game number two, the regularly scheduled game for Sunday, will start approximately 30 minutes after the conclusion of the suspended game and will also be a nine inning affair.
Eugene lost 10-4
The Emeralds eclipsed 100,000 in seasonal attendance with 2,818 filling Civic Stadium on Saturday night.
Every Emerald except Figueroa has a hit on the day but the team left ten on base. The Ems were 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position.
Danny De La O lasted five innings and gave up six runs, five earned, on nine hits and a walk. De La O had given up three runs over his previous ten innings of work before Saturday. He has proven to be better in relief than when he starts. His last five starts have seen him give up 27 runs.
The old saying is when they stop doing it we will stop talking about it. For the sixth straight relief appearance, Henry Colbert gave up a run. While his last three were overall, it still hasn't been pretty. Colbert has given up 18 runs over his last six games, spanning 9.1 innings.
Colt Morton hit his first home run since August 12 in the bottom of the ninth. Morton maintained his league lead in home runs with his two-run shot and fifteenth bomb of the season as Yakima's Chris Carter hit his fifteenth home run in a 5-1 win over Spokane earlier in the night. It was the only hit of the day for Morton and even with the hit he is 4-for-47 over his last 12 games with three RBI's.

A black and white deck? Evil and good cooperating? Inconceivable! Or is it? Obviously, the Ivory Doom deck is not your typical creature deck. Unlike the usual "weenie" strategy, which tries to overrun opponents with lots of early creatures but saves nothing for later, Ivory Doom has unique threats that emerge once the game has progressed. The Clerics interact in amazing ways, and with the right cards in play, you'll be virtually untouchable. The key is making sure you survive long enough to reach the midgame. Use cards like Pacifism, Swat, and Smother to neutralize or eliminate your opponent's most dangerous threats. Since many of your Clerics do a great job of protecting themselves and each other, ration out your elimination carefully. For example, don't let an early 3/3 Beast scare you. Go ahead and let it hit you a few times. Soon you should have so many healers in play that your opponent can no longer safely attack. If you're patient, you'll have spells waiting in your hand to deal with any creatures that are truly fearsome.

Players must put the team before their pride
You can understand why Jack Butland, making a rare start in the England shirt due to Joe Hart's absence, did not want to put the ball out and accept that his game was over when he pulled up with injury in the first half. However, if England are to make any impression at the Euros this year, they need everyone working together as a team, even if that does mean personal sacrifice.
Seconds after it became clear that Butland was hurt, Toni Kroos fired off a long-range effort that the Stoke goalkeeper – under normal circumstances – would easily save. But he was clearly uncomfortable and did not react as quickly as has become expected, allowing the ball to sneak into the back of the net at his near post. On another night, it's the type of decision that could cost England much, much more.
Alli proves he can make the grade at international level
Answering every question thrown at him seems to be Dele Alli's only way of proving he belongs at the highest level of the game. The Tottenham midfielder was the most prominent going forwards of the three midfield players Hogdson selected, with Eric Dier and Jordan Henderson playing much deeper to try and shield the back four.
It allowed Alli to impose himself on the German defence and link up well with Kane, as the pair have done so all season for Spurs, and suggests that he will be one of the first names on the team-sheet come the Euros.
Germany vs England player ratings
Germany vs England player ratings
1/22 Germany: Manuel Neuer - 6 out of 10
Strong save from Alli to push the ball away from the advancing attackers. Given little to do in the first half, but called upon to deny Alli with an outstretched foot.
2016 Getty Images
2/22 Emre Can - 6
Booked for a cynical foul on Danny Welbeck as he tripped the England forward when nearing the area. Found himself deployed at right-back despite impressing for Liverpool in midfield, and his error allowed Welbeck to dispossess him and led to an England shot at goal.
2015 Getty Images
3/22 Antonio Rüdiger - 5
Struggled to cope with the England attack once his partner in crime has departed, which demonstrates the dependency that the German defence currently has on Mats Hummels.
2014 Getty Images
4/22 Mats Hummels - 6
Should have seen yellow for a high tackle around Welbeck's neck, but instructed Rüdiger where to position himself. Edged the battle with Kane, but went off at half-time with the yong Jonathan Tah coming on in his place.
2016 Getty Images
5/22 Jonas Hector - 6
Crucial block prevented Henderson from having a clear shot on target after Can's error.
2015 Getty Images
6/22 Sami Khedira - 6
Shocking pass almost allowed Alli to score following good work from Welbeck, but that didn't stop him from dropping back to pick up the first ball from Neuer every time. Lovely chip allowed Gomez to head home for Germany's second.
2015 Getty Images
7/22 Toni Kroos - 7
Intelligently spotted Butland in trouble and capitalised with a long-range effort that beat the goalkeeper at his near post. Passing was near-faultless, although one sloppy long-ball gave England the chance to counter.
2016 Getty Images
8/22 Thomas Muller - 6
Rather quiet throughout, which may have been due to his deeper role to accommodate Gomez.
2016 Getty Images
9/22 Mesut Özil - 5
Took up an advanced role in midfield but couldn't have the impact he wanted as Dier marshalled him to perfection.
2015 Getty Images
10/22 Marco Reus -5
Kept at bay by an energetic English defence, with his pace not having an effect on matters.
2016 Getty Images
11/22 Mario Gomez - 7
Should have been celebrating the opener had the assistant referee not incorrectly flagged for offside, but got his goal after the break when he lost Cahill and powered a header past Forster.
2016 Getty Images
12/22 England: Jack Butland – 5
At fault for the opening goal when he tried to play on despite being injured. Decision cost his team, and would have normally expected to have saved Kroos' effort. Could do nothing to stop Gomez's effort, which was incorrectly ruled out for offside. Replaced by Fraser Forster after conceding the goal.
2016 Getty Images
13/22 Nathaniel Clyne - 8
Good block prevented Khedira having an early effort on goal. Flourished going forwards after the introduction of Lukas Podolski, and it was his cross that was expertly flicked in by Jamie Vardy to equalise. Performance keeps him ahead of Kyle Walker in the pecking order.
2016 Getty Images
14/22 Chris Smalling - 7
Recovered well after making a mistake that nearly allowed Gomez in shortly after half-time. Looked assured on the ball and benefitted from facing Gomez rather than livewire Muller.
2015 Getty Images
15/22 Gary Cahill - 6
Missed the target with a free header from a corner, and was at fault for losing Gomez for the second goal and barely jumping off the ground as the ball floated over his head. Didn't do a lot to suggest he'll keep John Stones out of the side for too much longer.
2016 Getty Images
16/22 Danny Rose - 7
Cross that led to Gomez's goal came from his flank, but he didn't receive as much cover from Welbeck as he would have liked. Coped very well on his international debut.
17/22 Eric Dier - 8
Important block denied Gomez an effort from the edge of the area that arose from a German counter-attack. His first international goal will be one that remains in the memory bank for the rest of his life.
2016 Getty Images
18/22 Jordan Henderson - 6
Dangerous corner caused panic in the area and led to Kane's goal. Looked disciplined and in control of the midfield trio, choosing when to surge forwards and when to sit back and join Dier.
2014 Getty Images
19/22 Dele Alli - 7
Denied by Neuer's foot when the chance to equalise offered itself on a plate. Looked composed and of the level required to make the grade at international level. Guilty of blazing a simple chance to put England ahead over the crossbar with the goal gaping at his mercy.
2016 Getty Images
20/22 Adam Lallana - 6
Sliced an effort over the crossbar when the ball fell kindly to him on the edge of the box. Looked lively, although he didn't have a big say on matters.
Getty Images
21/22 Danny Welbeck - 5
Looked slightly off the pace compared to strike-partner Kane, though given this was his first England appearance in almost a year to the day, he can be forgiven. Replaced by Jamie Vardy with 20 minutes remaining.
2014 Getty Images
22/22 Harry Kane - 8
Starved of clear-cut chances in the first half as England failed to find the final product, but showed his talent with a Cruyff-turn inside the German area and hit the ball from under his feet beyond Neuer's reach into the side of the goal to drag England back into the contest.
Vardy gives Hodgson much to ponder with return of the 4-4-2
The decision over whether to start Harry Kane or Jamie Vardy may no longer be a straight-forward decision given the form of both players, but Hodgson will also have to ponder whether to revert back to a 4-4-2 formation that failed to fire at the World Cup.
Kane demonstrated his brilliant technical ability, performing a beautiful Cruyff turn inside the German area before firing the ball past Neuer in the only spot the goalkeeper couldn't reach. However, he was immediately trumped by Vardy's delightful back-heel that left Neuer stranded, and Hodgson needs to take time to think about playing both strikers from the start.
Cahill adds experience, but the quality appears to have disappeared
In Wayne Rooney's absence, Gary Cahill led the team having been preferred by Hodgson to John Stones, despite the centre-back disappointing for Chelsea this season. Cahill didn't enjoy the best of games, as he missed an early chance on goal when he sent a free header wide, and later lost Mario Gomez for Germany's second – the striker leaping well above Cahill as he struggled to make up the ground he afforded his opposite man.
With Chris Smalling almost certain to take one of the two centre-back berths and Stones pressing his claims for regular inclusion, Hodgson needs to ask whether Cahill is up to the task of marking the best players in European football. Gomez is hardly that – his headed goal is his first international strike in nearly four years.
England genuinely have a chance with Kane and Vardy in form
If England can find a way to defend, they'll have a chance against Russia, Wales, Slovakia and anyone else they face in the summer, such is the form of their two most important strikers.
The talk before the match was whether Hodgson should drop captain Wayne Rooney when he returns to fitness in favour of starting Harry Kane or Jamie Vardy – or even both. Now, after such pivotal impressions on the win in Berlin, even Hodgson must now believe the Spurs and Leicester double-act will give his side a chance against the very best.

If you had a chance to watch Boone County High (Ky.) and Jordan Oppenheimer perform last season, you saw a player who fought for every yard and carried the ball much more than the average running back. Oppenheimer had 255 carries for 1360 yards in ten contests. He also scored 16 touchdowns.
"I feel like I gave 100 percent on every play. I did everything I could to try and win football games. We just came up a little short in most of our games," said Oppenheimer.
The running back thought that his team started off well, but setbacks hurt their confidence.
"I felt like we didn't perform like we could have. We beat two quality football programs and then lost bad to Highlands and Anderson High (Oh.), which kind of took us down as a team. We lost our confidence going into our district games," he continued.
Oppenheimer has taken this time off to work on himself as a player, including improving on his body.
"I want to get my weight up to 225 or 230 and improve my speed and footwork," he said.
There are no offers on the table right now for the 6-foot-2, 210-pound back, but they could be forth coming as we near signing day.
"Schools have told me they are going to offer me when I come on my visit. The only preferred walk-on (offer) I have is Eastern Kentucky," he said. "I'm talking to multiple small d-1, d-2 and NAIA schools. I want to stay away from d-3 because I want to get the most money towards my education as I can get," he said. "Right now I have one school in mind, but I'm still open until I go on my visits and find out where I fit best academically and athletically."
Oppenheimer plans to take visits this month before coming up with a decision.

Twice a week we publish problems that will feature in a forthcoming Dear Jeremy advice column in the Saturday Guardian so that readers can offer their own advice and suggestions. We then print the best of your comments alongside Jeremy's own insights. Here is the latest dilemma – what are your thoughts?
I am 31-year-old graduate who left university last year. I am hoping to go into events management, hotels, and have an interest in writing. Since April I have been doing travel-type roles.
I have been lucky to secure events work as bar staff and a weekend job on Saturdays, but feel I have got into a rut.
I am feeling frustrated and tired of constantly sending off CVs and attending agencies that offer work, but don't deliver. I don't want to be on benefits but am struggling to find a job where I can be trained – and paid. There seems to be a lack of employers offering training.
I look on the job boards and they always ask for experience and don't offer the opportunity to get that experience. I have lots to give an employer and willingness to learn. I wonder if there was any advice from people who are in the industry?
I have to pay rent and I need to cover living costs while working and training.
I feel like my life is on hold until I get a permanent role with more hours. I feel that I have done lots of legwork to get my career started but need to know what to do next.

Hyundai Equus making progress as a luxurious alternative
Car is priced to grab market share
More than a year ago I told you that the only major drawback to the full-size Hyundai Equus luxury sedan was that it carried a Hyundai badge.
I'm sticking by that, but if anything, the Equus has gotten better. Other luxury brands might want to rethink their pricing. Equus is a superbly quiet, comfortable and powerful luxury sedan, but priced to grab market share.
The tested dark metallic brown Hyundai Equus Signature lists at $61,000 with a $920 delivery charge. Consider that a Lexus LS460, which is similarly sized, but not quite as well equipped, lists at $71,990.
A top-level Equus Ultimate lists at $68,000, still less than the Lexus. And let's not get into the German luxury makes that even a Lexus beats on price.
Value is certainly a big selling point, as it has been with Hyundai for years. But if the car doesn't perform, isn't as quiet and luxurious feeling, well, then a lower price doesn't matter.
But Equus is loaded and luxuriously quiet.
The sedan is easy to drive but has some major power under the hood, although that description sounds way too low-class. Let's just say its 5.0-liter V-8 creates 429 horsepower on premium fuel and 421 on regular.
You'll be happy to be in the Normal drive mode where you have good, but not explosive, power from the V-8 and silky 8-speed automatic, which includes Shiftronic, to allow manual shifting.
Equus has three drive modes, including Sport that makes this a 4,500-pound rocket, and Snow, which helps control acceleration and wheel spin in slippery conditions. I used it twice and was happy to have it in a powerful rear-drive car that can become squirrelly in snow.
The ride is possibly the best I've experienced even in a luxury make. Equus rides on a 119.9-inch wheelbase and features 19-inch tires. Ride is well controlled and smooth. Even the roughest roads feel smooth, much of that thanks to two high-tech systems that work together. One is CDC, continuous damping control that uses monitors to judge wheel, body and lateral acceleration and dampen the suspension accordingly. Second is an electronically controlled air suspension to soften the ride. That's an option on the Lexus, but standard here.
Handling is good, but certainly not European in feel. Since I drove the first version of Equus, the steering weight seems to have been lessened enough to give it a substantial, but not burdensome, feel. This does not feel sporty, but it feels adequately responsive, and I noticed none of the body lean in turns that I'd felt in the earlier test drive.
Braking is fine from four-wheel disc brakes, plus traction and stability control help keep the car on track in sloppy weather.
The only performance disappointment I had was in fuel consumption. The EPA rates this big car at 15 mpg city and 23 mpg highway, so I was hoping for 17-18 mpg. I got 15.4 mpg, in snowy and extremely cold temperatures. My mileage was exactly the same as the car's trip computer reported. That's rare.
Inside, this feels like a top-level luxury make. The cabin is quiet, the seats fairly flat and covered in soft leather and the car includes nearly every bell, whistle and electronic aid you'd expect. The car has a blind-spot warning system, along with backup camera, heated steering wheel and three-speed heated and cooled front seats, and heated outboard rear seats.
There's a power sunshade for the rear window, a power sunroof, thick padded sun visors that slide and a simple elegantly designed flat dash to give better frontal visibility.
The test car featured a black over tan leather interior, with black dash and tan seats. There also were black wood inserts in the dash, doors and console and brushed silver trim on the console. The power tilt-telescope steering wheel also is a wood and leather mix, with the leather portion heated. I do wish the leather came up higher than the 9-and-3 position to the 10-and-2 that is the more standard driving position.
The wheel did power back and away and the driver's seat powered back once the push-button ignition was off. There are two memory positions for the driver's seat, and both front seat controls (12-way) are up on the door where they are easier to access than on the lower seat cushion's side. There's a power headrest control, but the driver's power lumbar remains on the seat side.
Head and legroom is generous front and rear, and the back seat easily holds three adults. The outboard rear seats also are heated, and there are separate climate controls in back.
Equus has a wide LCD instrument cluster in front of the driver, with white on black gauges and digital trip computer readouts between the gauges. To the wheel's left are dash buttons to engage the parking sensors, blind-spot system, stability control and to unlatch the trunk. There's a lane-departure system button, but I couldn't get the system to work in sloppy road situations.
Hyundai puts radio, phone, trip computer and adaptive cruise control buttons on the steering wheel hub. And a button to fold the side mirrors flat to the body is on the door along with the power mirrors, windows and lock buttons. The mirrors also angle down when the car is put into reverse to help you see curbs as you back up. The backup camera helps too.
On the console is a ride-height button to let you lower or raise the car slightly. I doubt you'd use it much, unless you took your luxury car into mud, muck or heavy snow.
Hyundai follows most other luxury makes to create a complex radio and navigation system that is not easy to use as you drive. It again involves a large knob amid the console to find stations. And I guess I'm getting used to the slightly annoying chime that goes off every time you start and stop the car.
The Equus Ultimate adds a lot of options for another $7,000, including a multi-view backup camera, a forward-view cornering camera, power door latching, power trunk, power lumbar supports for the outboard rear seats, illuminated vanity mirrors in the rear seat, power side window sun shades, a rear seat entertainment system with two monitors and heads-up display for the driver, among other goodies.

Post-Holiday Fitness Series: Workout Plan
With another holiday season now over, many of us are getting settled back into our normal routines and looking to develop new routines. For some this will include getting back to the gym and changing their eating habits so that they can lose weight, add muscle and live a healthier lifestyle. I am no different. The holiday season is my time each year to relax my strict eating habits, take an extra day or two off of working out each week and spend time relaxing and recharging. Throughout the holiday season I typically maintain a 4-day split at the gym, down from my normal 6-day program. But now it's time to ratchet my workouts back up, shock my body and get back to a strict eating and supplement regimen.
Announcing the Post-Holiday Fitness Series
As I was working on tweaking my post-holiday routine, several people expressed interest in me publishing it. That has formed into the "Post Holiday Fitness Series" which will be a series of posts breaking down different elements of leading a healthier lifestyle. During this series we will cover my workout plan, a sample meal plan, what supplements & vitamins I use and how I design my workout playlist.
My hope is that you'll be able to take these concepts and apply them to your life. If you're already actively working out, maybe there will be a tweak to your fitness plan that you make. If you've wanted to eat a stricter diet or are curious about supplements, hopefully there are elements of my plan that will prove helpful to you. If you need a few basic tips to get motivated again, here are 9 tips for getting back in shape and 7 simple fitness tips that can help you.
About The Post-Holiday Fitness Series
The reason why I'm choosing to focus on my plan instead of designing a generalized plan is that each of us are at a different point with our fitness. Some will be just starting while others will be more advanced. These are the exercises, foods, supplements, vitamins and music that work best for me to achieve my current goals. I have been working out my entire life, growing up going to gyms with my dad and have been working out consistently 4-6 days per week for the past 2 years.
This phase of my fitness plan is focused on increasing cardio while still building muscle with a goal of reducing body fat.
A few notes about the below program:
- Most lifting programs are structured with chest/triceps and back/bicep splits but I find that by using a chest/biceps and back/triceps split, I am able to better target all muscle groups instead of the chest and back taking the primary role and the triceps and biceps taking a secondary role. If you're going to use the below plan, test with both splits to see what works best for you.
- There is cardio every day. As body fat percentage gets lower, it becomes harder to reduce it even more therefore I have ratcheted up cardio from 3 days per week to 6 days per week. Over the years I have tested with 2 workouts per day and find those effective – lifting in the morning and doing cardio in the evening however with upcoming travel and a demanding work schedule, I structured the cardio into my morning routine. If I can sneak in an extra session a couple days per week at night, that will be a bonus. This also doesn't take into account the 3-4 times per day that I take Sasha for a walk.
- Due to an existing knee issue, my legs workout is far reduced from what most people prefer to do. I'm not able to do exercises such as squats, leg extensions or other movements that put extreme stress on my knee. In fact for several years I didn't do leg exercises at all because of the pain it would cause me. You may choose to break out legs into a single day and add several more exercises to your plan.
- For every movement there is a link to a how to video, most of them thanks to the amazing Muscle & Strength video database. If any or all of these movements are new to you, please take the time to learn how to perform these exercises correctly. Learning how to perform the movements correctly will prevent injury and help you to achieve your goals.

Growing up one of my favorite home-cooked meals was Macaroni and Cheese. I loved it so much it is always the first item I request Mom make when I go home to visit my parents. I've made it a few times myself but things never taste quite as good as Moms. Also, single me couldn't justify having an entire baking dish full of Macaroni just sitting around the house.
Luckily, I have a perpetually hungry boyfriend around now who is happy to help me devour any sort of cheesy pasta dish. I wanted to change up my usual recipe a bit and thought broccoli would be the perfect addition. It has to be my favorite vegetable and I wanted something to bulk up the volume of the dish without adding a ton of calories. After some online digging I decided to use the Skinny Baked Broccoli Macaroni and Cheese recipe from SkinnyTaste.com. I followed the recipe completely and it came out phe-nom-enal. So good that Matt is looking forward to eating the leftovers 3 days in a row. The picture doesn't do it justice at all but there are more mouth-watering photos of the dish on the recipe link above.
Clearly, Matt is a fan of the dish (and this is before we even dug into it!)

This is the ninth of 20 steps in the in the
Energy Management Action Programme (Energy MAP).
Learn about Energy MAP and what it can do for your business.
Identify energy influencing factors
First you need to identify the factors that influence energy consumption. These may include the following:
Where energy is used mainly for heating and cooling of buildings, daily or seasonal variations in the weather will influence energy use. There should be a direct relationship between weather conditions and energy use. To quantify the influence of the "weather" and normalise your energy data, use Degree days, which gives you a measure of the severity and duration of cold weather.
Production levels
Compare energy use against production levels. Increased production will usually cause increased energy use. However, this may mask the true relationship, as the lighting or heating energy use may not change much against production levels. Therefore try to separate out non-production related energy use in normalising your data.
Is your energy use consistent with occupancy? Compare usage during the week with usage at night, weekends or holidays and see if you are using energy unnecessarily outside of working hours.
In order to compare energy use over time, you need to normalise your energy consumption figures. After doing this you can identify trends in consumption and apply performance indicators to compare performance.
Having identified the factors that influence consumption and normalised your data, it is important to compare your performance against other internal or external reference standards (performance indicators) to determine how well you are actually performing.
Identify Energy Performance Indicators (EnPIs)
EnPIs can be used to develop relative measures of energy performance, track changes over time, and identify best practice in energy management. They are also a means of evaluating whether you have achieved your objectives and targets.
Establish your EnPIs using two main approaches:
In general, best practice indicators relate to external comparisons, while past performance and other measures focus more on internal indicators.
The main steps in applying EnPIs include:
Data quality and availability
Incomplete energy consumption or activity data and inaccurate building floor areas can result in misleading conclusions and erroneous decision making. Also there may be a lack of suitable EnPIs for your sector, building type or industry. In Ireland EnPIs may be available from SEAI. A wide range of performance indicators are also available from the UK Carbon Trust.
In industry, energy use does not always depend on production throughput. The less sensitive energy use is to production, the more sensitive the EnPI will be to changes in production.
Use EnPIs with caution. If external factors are not accurately taken into account, then the resultant EnPIs can mask actual trends in energy consumption and lead to erroneous decision making.
Poor analysis/interpretation of data
You could spend a lot of time analysing your data without coming up with usable results on the key information. Do not try to analyse every factor that may influence energy use, instead stick to the main factors and produce concise usable results.
If you have the data – energy use, degree days, production volumes, occupancy data or other factors, EnPIs – and are familiar with the techniques, then completing this step should be possible in about a day.
You have completed this Step when you have produced:
a documented list of factors which affect energy consumption and established a system for recording and normalising variations in their levels.
Energy Performance Indicator(s) for making comparisons on energy consumption.
Now that you have a good understanding of how energy is used and how it can be controlled, the next step is to identify energy saving opportunities.
Consult the relevant SEAI's Building Manager's Resource Guide
A number of EnPI benchmarking guides are available from the Carbon Trust for N. Ireland and Britain:
ECG 019 – Office buildings
ECG 036 – Hotels
ECG 081 – Industrial buildings (heat and light only)
Benchmarking guides are also available for various industries and buildings sectors.
The bess project also provides information on benchmarking for SMEs
For more information on degree days see:
* Met Eireann Degree Days
* SEAI Degree days
* Degree days for energy management from the UK Carbon Trust
See the "Quick Start Guide to Energy Monitoring & Targeting" for an explanation on how to account for variations in production levels in energy consumption data.

Having seen a recent photo of one of our member"s 52 inch muskee, it has awaked my ambition to catch one of these magnificent fish. I do not know where these fish are caught. I live in Maryland and any location over one driving day would require me to fly to your nearest airport for pickup. My calendar is open and I await your offer. I would also consider trading whitetail deer hunting on my Maryland farms in exchange for the fishing trip. My wife won all the pools last year by harvesting a 9 point 21 inch buck with her bow.

What dreak says is spot on. Communication is very important - you have to be able to listen to what the kids are saying and be able to
get your point across while talking at their level
. This is more of a challenge at Mite and Squirts level, but can crop up with PW's as well.
This goes to Dreak's 2nd point of player psych. Get to know the kids - they each have natural tendencies. Some will be more aggressive, some more passive, some you will need to handle with kid gloves, others you can treat more gruffly, etc...
One thing I like to do as an initial personality assessment is just get the team on the ice and have them just play a game without any coaching - sort of a pond hockey environment indoors. You'll soon start seeing their personalities and tendencies come out. Which kids are the ones organizing the others (they can be your leaders in the group), which ones gravitate to D, F, etc...
As an AC, you may not be able to have that much input in things, but just some things to keep in mind.
Look back to all your own experiences - what drills did you enjoy, why did you like certain coaches and not others, etc...
Above all else - keep it fun, keep them busy, and have fun!

Xibazha Police Precinct

To Whom It May Concern
Just before five o'clock this afternoon, my father was picking up his father Hada in front of the Wanda Plaza. When Hada's taxi arrived, more than 20 plainclothes officers appeared out of the blue and kidnapped Hada. My son Uiles immediately called me for help. The plainclothes officers then robbed his mobile phone, and threatened to take him away. Luckily I went there in time and grabbed my son as he was forced into a car. I demanded several times the plainclothes officers to show their ID but they ignored me... I recognized one of them was Mr. Gao from the Domestic Security of Hohhot, which made me determine this operation was conducted by the Domestic Security of Inner Mongolia.
As the central leadership has been promoting "comprehensively implementing the rule of law", domestic security officers from Inner Mongolia's Public Security Bureau kidnapped citizens and robbed their mobile phones in broad daylight. This is such a vicious criminal case!
We look forward to the officers at this precinct to investigating the case as soon as possible and to protect the safety of citizens and their properties!
Sincerely yours,
P.S.: Officer who accepted this document was Wu Zhanquan. Police ID 012978
