An engineer was left staring at a house-shaped hole after an entire building collapsed seconds after he dislodged a few bricks from the exterior wall.
In video footage captured by a bystander, the man can be seen tackling exposed beams and brickwork at the side of a disused building in possibly the most extreme game of Jenga on record.
He can be seen picking at bricks at edge when suddenly the whole – yes whole – building collapses into a heap without warning.
"He was up there trying to make it safe and he obviously took out the wrong brick. The whole lot came down with a loud rumble," an eyewitness told The Manchester Evening News.
The building in Ashton-under-Lyne, Greater Manchester, was once the home of troubled poet Francis Thompson and had a blue plaque to commemorate his time there.
The boarded-up, privately owned property had been disused for some time, according to Tameside council.
Police had been called earlier that morning following reports of falling bricks and dispatched engineers to make the building safe.
The remains of the building and a section of the road surrounding it have since been cordoned off. No-one was hurt.Reuse content

Free-range education: Why the unschooling movement is growing
Marlene Breverman stashed this in Education
A once-utopian idea – allowing kids to 'discover' their own education path while learning at home – goes mainstream.
"... "unschooling," an educational theory that suggests children should follow their own interests, without the imposition of school or even any alternative educational curriculum, because this is the best way for them to learn and grow."
Stashed in: Education!, Education
"MADISON, N.H. — On a late Monday morning in this rural New Hampshire town, Dayna and Joe Martin's four children are all home. Devin, age 16, is hammering a piece of steel in the blacksmith forge he and his parents built out of a storage shed in the backyard. Tiffany, 14, is twirling on a hoverboard, deftly avoiding the kaleidoscope-painted cabinets in the old farmhouse's living room. Ivy, 10, and Orion, 7, are sitting next to each other using the family's two computers, clicking through an intense session of Minecraft.
It looks a lot like school vacation, or a weekend. But it's not. This, for the Martin kids, is school. Or, to put it more accurately, it's their version of "unschooling"....."
What do you think Marlene? Is replacing schooling with Minecraft a good idea?
I advocate incorporating video games as part of structured learning, not for replacing it. As an example, assignments for a variety of math disciplines.
"But increasingly, Professor Stevens and others who have studied unschooling say, the practice is losing its rebel, alternative ethos. Although regulations differ state by state (one reason why accurate statistics on the movement are difficult to pin down), unschooling in some form is legal everywhere in the country. And the families who do it are increasingly mainstream, middle-class, and educated.
In a survey of some 5,500 home-schooling families, filmmakers Dustin Woodard and Jeremy Stuart, whose documentary about unschooling, "Class Dismissed," came out in 2014, found that the vast majority of unschooling parents (almost 89 percent) were married, and 91 percent had at least some college experience. Almost half live in the suburbs, while the rest are split fairly evenly between urban and rural areas. Almost all say they are satisfied or extremely satisfied with their choice to unschool their children – whether because they have more time as a family, are able to travel more, or see their children learning successfully. While many unschoolers say they are opting out of the national obsession with college admissions and standardized test scores, literature about unschooling regularly mentions how unschoolers are often accepted into top colleges."
There are social aspects to college — to many places — where the discipline of vocal restraint and movement are mandatory. For those who are 'unschooled', it seems there would be a problem of not being able to 'do as they please', and to do it when they want.
That last point is key. How do people learn empathy and respect for others?
Through the kind of socialization that school provides.

BeschreibungCase-based reasoning means reasoning based on remembering previous experiences. A reasoner using old experiences (cases) might use those cases to suggest solutions to problems, to point out potential problems with a solution being computed, to interpret a new situation and make predictions about what might happen, or to create arguments justifying some conclusion. A case-based reasoner solves new problems by remembering old situations and adapting their solutions. It interprets new situations by remembering old similar situations and comparing and contrasting the new one to old ones to see where it fits best. Case-based reasoning combines reasoning with learning. It spans the whole reasoning cycle. A situation is experienced. Old situations are used to understand it. Old situations are used to solve a problem (if there is one to be solved). Then the new situation is inserted into memory alongside the cases it used for reasoning, to be used another time. The key to this reasoning method, then, is remembering. Remembering has two parts: integrating cases or experiences into memory when they happen and recalling them in appropriate situations later on. The case-based reasoning community calls this related set of issues the indexing problem. In broad terms, it means finding in memory the experience closest to a new situation. In narrower terms, it can be described as a two-part problem: assigning indexes or labels to experiences when they are put into memory that describe the situations to which they are applicable, so that they can be recalled later; and at recall time, elaborating the new situation in enough detail so that the indexes it would have if it were in the memory are identified. Case-Based Learning is an edited volume of original research comprising invited contributions by leading workers. This work has also been published as a special issues of MACHINE LEARNING, Volume 10, No. 3.

EastEnders BBC1, 7.30pm
With her dad otherwise engaged on Holby City this week, Bianca is shocked by the sudden appearance of her mum Carol.
The pair haven't spoken since Bianca's affair with Carol's boyfriend Dan Sullivan a decade ago.
Now Carol has popped in, just to give Billie a lift home. Seriously? Is that really the best excuse they could come up with?
Coincidentally, another long-lost mum materialises as Nick Cotton's ex comes looking for her little girl.
If Dot has any sense, she'll have Dotty's bags packed and a taxi booked – before she can change her mind.
Meanwhile, we now know Archie's killer wears woolly gloves.
While the list of suspects includes the entire northern hemisphere, it's time for DCI Marsden to make another of her daily arrests. Like a Formula One pit stop, she has got it down to a fine art.
Emmerdale ITV1, 7pm
Having made the embarrassing discovery that the toxic spill which killed their sheep originated on their own land, John and Adam now have to visit their neighbours to apologise. It's a shame, really, that neither of them wear flat caps, because it's a situation that cries out for them to be wringing a bit of tweed in their hands.
Jai and Nikhil accept their explanation but Carl is still hopping mad about his kids. Note the way when someone else harms them they become "his" kids. When Carl's the one neglecting them, he scarcely remembers their names.

Yule-Walker Estimation for the Moving-Average Model
Department of Statistical Science, University College London, London WC1E 6BT, UK

The standard Yule-Walker equations, as they are known for an autoregression, are generalized to involve the moments of a moving-average process indexed on any number of dimensions. Once observations become available, new moments estimators are set to imitate the theoretical equations. These estimators are not only consistent but also asymptotically normal for any number of indexes. Their variance matrix resembles a standard result from maximum Gaussian likelihood estimation. A simulation study is added to conclude on their efficiency.

Update? Why are you posting stuff from last summer? There was already a thread about this last July, because that's when that blog was posted. Variety is simply grabbing at any old straws here to keep the sensationalism boiling and churning.
This is getting ridiculous. Do we really need to resurrect ancient topics around here just because David Cohen is talking about them? And can you please start checking the dates of things before posting them as "updates" or news items? :/

Political correctness and the campaign for diversity doesn't appear to have made its way across the Channel yet, if recent events at the offices of French giant Gide Loyrette Nouel are any indication.
During a visit to London, one of the firm's key leaders was dismayed to discover that none of his partners had rushed to sit next to him during a meeting.
However, he tactfully said this problem could be corrected if "two beautiful women" were to sit down on either side of him. Suggestions of entertainment venues for Gide on a postcard.

The slow creep of overenthusiastic regulation risks hindering the insurance industry's ability and desire to help solve some of the big challenges of our age, says Mike Morrissey.
European policymakers and regulators are, despite all good intentions, driving the insurance industry to a more tightly regulated but less innovative and socially responsive future.
Macroeconomic uncertainty persists, as continued slow growth in the developed world is increasingly accompanied by slowing growth in the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) and other previously robust countries. The low interest rate environment that characterises this low demand growth, low inflation period has produced a severe drag on insurer profitability, although this problem has elicited little or no empathy from regulatory officials.
It is entirely understandable that regulators were traumatised by the financial crisis, and determined to exercise their power to prevent future calamities in the financial markets. Their actions and aspirations, not only to increase capital standards, but to impose onerous reporting requirements on insurers, have added substantial costs and uncertainties to the industry. Less obviously, these actions have diminished the industry's ability to innovate and meet consumers'—and ultimately society's—needs.

Running Through the Forest Greens
Her thoughts were tangled and knotted, just like the roots that grasped at her feet as she ran through the dense woods. She ran frantically with her arms out in front of her, like two limbs reaching for a distant light. The sun had just sank below the horizon line, leaving just enough light for her to see the edges of the green maze before her. She continued to hurry, darting between trees and around the small bushes and undergrowth that littered the forest floor. She was uncertain of what chased her, but the continuous rustling noises of cracking dry leaves behind her forced her to keep running forward. Yet, she found herself growing weak, having to struggle for air, and eventually came to a stop, gasping. She was exhausted, and fairly certain that she was lost. She tried to breathe deeply, but the thick air suffocated her. The tree branches seemed to reach out to choke her. As she fought for breath, the deep green leaves of the forest floor rose to meet her.

Of course Derek had an announcement when he got back, he always does. Me and Belle were betting on what he was going to say. Turns out, we were both wrong.
"A girl," asks Danny.
"Yes a girl. She wants to know if she could come here and live a life with us," Derek says.
"That should be me and Ray's choice, don't you think Derek," asks Belle.
Me and Belle are the leaders of our group, just like Piper is leader of the Dark Circle up the road. Our groups are rivals and we never talk to each other.
"Look, this girl is really confused right now. She's a pre-made vampire," says Derek.
"What's the girls name," I ask.
"She says her name is Honey," he tells me.
I turn to Belle. She nods at me and I nod back.
"Ok, she can come here but you have to look after her until she comes to," says Belle.
"No problem," says Derek and stands up.
"Wait, where are you going," I say, blocking his way.
"To go get her," he says, jumping over me and running off.
"I hope he knows what he's doing," I say to Alex.
"Same here," she says to me.
About 45 minutes later, Derek comes back.
"It's about time you got here," I say.
"Sorry but she's not that fast of a runner yet," he says to me.
I look around.
"Where is she," I ask.
"She's just behind me," he says and turns around.
Walking out of the forest comes a beautiful girl. She has long black hair up to her waist and deep blue eyes. I can see why Derek wanted to bring her back, I think to myself and step forward.
"Hi I'm Ray," I say to her and hold out my hand.
She says nothing and shakes my hand.
"Hi I'm Belle," says Belle holding out her hand.
"Hi," she says and shakes her hand.
Everyone takes turns introducing themselves then go back to what they were doing before.
"Honey, would you like to know what house we'll be in," asks Derek.
"Ya," she says and yawns.
"Derek, why don't I take her to her room and you go see if Belle can use some help with the lights," I say to Derek.
"Ok, you're the boss," he says to me and turns to Honey.
"I'm going to go now. You go with Ray and he'll show you where to go ok," he says.
"Ok," says Honey and gives him a hug.
Honey follows me and we start walking around. We don't say a word until Honey breaks the silence.
"Ray," she says to me.
"Ya," I say.
"What would you say if I told you a story," she asks me.
"I wouldn't mind," I say and we move to the grass to sit down.
And then she tells me about where she came from before this. Piper changed her into a vampire only about 2 weeks ago and she doesn't remember a thing, not even her own name.
"So once I met Derek I thought this could be the chance to forget about my old life and begin a new one," she says.
"So Honey isn't your name," I ask her.
"No. Well, not that I know of. A few of my friends didn't say anything and when some did talk they also called me Honey," she says.
I stand up and look at her. She defiantly is from Piper's group, I think. I've met all the people from her group so I should know who she is. Thin, long hair, green eyes. Yes I've seen her before. I close my eyes and think. A few minutes later, it hits me.
"I have to go," I say to her.
"Wait, why," she asks.
"I shouldn't been seen with you. Last time I was, we both almost died," I say and walk away from her.
"But I don't remember you, how could that be possible," she asks, catching up to me.
I look around and pull her into a bush to hide us.
"Look. I need to tell you something. My name isn't Ray and your name isn't Honey. Your name is Tanya," I say to her.
"Well then what's your name," she asks me.
"Once I tell you, you should remember," I say to her.
"Then say it," she hisses at me.
I sigh. "My name is Raymond," I say to her.
Shock crosses her face.
"No way. I knew you looked familiar. Why are you here," she asks me angrily.
"I live here," I tell her.
"Look just stay away from me," she says and walks away.
"Ray," I here Belle call.
"I'll be right out," I say and carefully pull myself out of the bush.
"What were you doing in there and where is Honey," she asks.
"I think she went to go look for Derek," I said.
"Ok well dinner is ready," she says and turns around.
"I'll be there in a little bit," I tell her.
"Fine with me but don't forget that you have to help Derek with the new girl," she says.

"What is wrong with this country?"
Has there ever been a time where more people have been willing to tell more lies when the evidence is more clearly against their lies?
It's like they believe they can change a deuce into an ace by staring at it and having politically correct intentions.
And I have to include the President, who thinks he can make video recordings of this past statements disappear with the waive of a hand and the statement "these are not the droids you are looking for."

These WordsMature
Dear Diary, 07/08/2008
A letter was posted through my door today. I opened it, and written in beautiful calligraphy were the words "These words". Kids nowadays need to get some more imagination, i mean, seriously now. What the fuck is this meant to mean to me?
Dear Diary, 08/08/2008
08/08/08 huh. What a day to be fired.
Dear Diary, 09/08/2008
Spent all day looking for a job. Guys came to take the trash, and for once took all of the stuff that i set out. I guess things are looking up for once. Got a smoothie from the shop down the road, but it tasted funny. Too much salt. Why the fuck would you put salt in a smoothie anyway?
Dear Diary, 10/08/2008
Got a job interview, Newsagent's down the road. Turns out nothing happens when i spend my entire day looking through newspapers for vacancies, but when i go to the shop for headache pills, i get a job offer instead.
Dear Diary, 11/08/2008
Had to cancel the job interview (which was set for today) because everything was black and white when i woke up. Optometrist appointment booked for tomorrow, but i've got a the mother of all headaches to keep me company until then.
Dear Diary, 12/08/2008
Turns out nothing is wrong with my eyes. However, when i fell asleep on the bus home, i woke up with 4 less teeth. What the fuck.
Dear Diary, 13/08/2008
Nothing wrong with my eyes, huh? Well everything is STILL black and white. And my eyes aren't even different shades of grey in the mirror. They're black. Just black. Another optometrist appointment.
Dear Diary, 14/08/2008
Optometrist is "busy all day". Busy all fucking day, huh? The shop was EMPTY. Decided to give my whole body a checkout today. Here's a lovely list of what's up. My hands are bony. My fingernails won't stop growing. My eyes are black. People cross the street to avoid me.
Dear Diary, 15/08/2008
Went for a walk to clear my head. Turns out, the roads were all clear too. Noone there. absolutely noone. I tried to write a message, but outside of this diary, i can't write a thing except the word "words."
Dear Diary, 16/08/2008
My eyes have shrunk into my skull. My mouth has widened. I'm losing my vision. I see things in the shadows clearly and at night i can see like it's day, but in the day i see like it's nighttime. My nails are too long.
Dear Diary, 17/08/2008
I haven't eaten for four days, but i don't want any food. I can't see in the daytime.
Dear Diary, 18/08/2008
There was a man on the streets today. i waited Behind the door of my house until he went past. then i crept up behind him and made him jump. he was delicious.
Dear Diary, 19/08/2008
I know now i have become something more than a man, but i don't care. More people started walking along my street. one, two, three nutritious meals.
Dear Diary, 20/08/2008
i saw another like me today, crouched in the doorway of my house. I asked him who he was, and he looked nup at me with his no-eyes. He asked me if i knew how i had become like him. I said i did not know. He nodded, and we hunted. one, two, three.
Dear Diary, 21/08/2008
He asked me if i wanted to know today. I didn't. we sat on a rooftop and dropped onto men below. one, two, three. I haven't forgotten how to write.
Dear Diary, 22/08/2008
I asked him today. I told him i wanted to know, and he said "You read." i asked him what, and he handed me a letter. I opened it, and in the middle of the page, in clear, black type was: "These words"

A teenage boy stares uncertainly down at me.
My vision swims. Memories – visions, nightmares...? I don't know. But I can't think.
Dark blood spews against the grass. I look down. The blood is mine. A nasty slash from one of the monsters has opened on my side, and it's pouring red. I stare at the wound for a moment, shocked into silence – and then I feel it.
I collapse, on my hands and knees in the blood. Red stains my T-shirt. I try to breathe and I can't.
"Run!" I shout at them. Luke. Annabeth. They can't die. They have to let me die. "Run, now!"
A teenage boy stares down at me.
Chills shiver through me. "Who –"
"I'm Percy," he says. "You're safe now."
No. He's wrong. I'm not safe.
I blink. The flashbacks start again.
I scream. I cough, spitting out blood. I try again to stand, but I can barely breathe. "Luke, go! Don't stop! Go!"
I take a sharp breath. "Strangest dream..."
Another flood of memories rushes in.
Electric heat shoots down my spine. Something's happening. I'm dying, I must be. I look at my wound to see if the bleeding's worse, but it's not there. I reach down, finger the slash with my hand. It's hard. Like... like... No, I must be dreaming.
I reach out my fingers, calling for Luke. But they're not my fingers. They're branches.
And then I can't scream anymore.
"It's okay," the teenage boy says.
"No," he insists. "You're okay. What's your name?"
I swallow hard. "Thalia. Daughter of Zeus."
I don't understand. I'm a half-blood, I made it to camp, why is everyone so afraid? Then it hits me. "Are they okay?" I stammer. "Please, just tell me they're okay!"
The boy looks confused. "Who?"
"Luke. Annabeth." I cough again, harder. "Is Luke alright? Please, he has to be alright..."
No one answers me.
The boy's expression darkens. "Not... not exactly."

Putting HID guts in a Halogen housing???
Has anyone done this?
I have one headlight on my 2006 CTS that is crazy fogged but all the electronics and washer work fine. I was wondering if all the HID and washer components would install onto a Halogen housing.

Re: Putting HID guts in a Halogen housing???
You have a washer in a halogen assembly? I thought they only come with the HID units.
- 08-20-13 09:45 PM #3Originally Posted by 454Casull
To answer your question, OP, no you cannot buy a halogen housing and get everything to work like it is now.
The HID components will probably work, I'm sure you could install them in the halogen housing. However, the washers would not work at all. I have halogen headlights, and the little triangles where the washers would normally be are one solid piece of plastic. They aren't capable of popping out like the washers in the HID housings.
If money is a concern, I would suggest just buying 2 replacement halogen housings, sticking your HID components in them, and forgetting the washers. How much do you really use them? If you want everything to work though, you'll have to lay out the extra cash for the HID housings... :/
Re: Putting HID guts in a Halogen housing???
Sounds like this is what I will do. I have no need for the washers. Thank you very much.

List of the best, biggest diamonds in the world. Many of these diamonds are so highly priced because they are among the rarest diamonds, and others are expensive because of the shine or cut of the diamond. They say diamonds are a girl's best friend. But don't be fooled. Not all are created equal, so they come in a wide range of colors, sizes and prices.

Hey fellow friends in recovery. I wanted to share a great short documentary I stumbled across by Irish filmmaker Gareth Bowler entitled "SOBER." I've been watching this as part of my "morning inspiration" even in the car (shush, don't tell!). I just love the story, dramatic soundtrack, and especially the inspirational message of keeping going forwards, forwards, forwards. I hope you like it too, and maybe it can be part of your morning routine.
I hope you all had a great and sober holiday season. Even if you didn't or struggled (we all struggle this time of year), get back on that beam, get to a meeting, write, talk to someone or do whatever has worked before to keep you sober.
SOBER // Short Documentary from Gareth Bowler on Vimeo.

Good afternoon ED001
I have done a search but found no updates on the Gary "Pitbull" Medel rumours that surfaced a couple of days ago, and I was wondering if you did that triple check to find out?
I very rarely write in about rumours, but this would be the coup of the summer, if true that is?
Thanks in advance Ed.
{Ed001's Note - I am still waiting to hear back, he is another one that we have not been tracking, so it would be a spur of the moment move if we are trying to get him. Similar to Wijnaldum. Hopefully Klopp's spur of the moment purchases are better than mine.}
1.) 20 Jul 2016 15:43:56
Thanks for your reply mate
I really hope it happens, but can't help but think it is just another name that has been randomly pulled out of the bag by the red tops et al
Fingers crossed.
2.) 20 Jul 2016 17:15:45
I like him as a player myself, but one of my mates is a massive Inter fan. When I mentioned it he was more than happy to say the least, said we'd be better off with Brozovic but he wouldn't want him to leave.
Time will tell though. I'd love him, bodies flying everywhere! be great!
19 Jul 2016 07:15:23
Good Morning ED001
I was wondering if you did manage to seek any information in regards to yesterdays rumours that started to circulate about Gary Medel and that Klopp was interested in bringing him to the club?
I think you said you were going to triple check! so apologies if i'm a little early
Thanks in advance Ed.
{Ed001's Note - not heard back yet from one person, so far all seems to be negative though, sadly. I would love it to happen!}
1.) 19 Jul 2016 07:47:48
He's massively average. Like a Sunday league version of Mascherano. Swerve.
2.) 19 Jul 2016 07:58:31
Good job ed001 didn't see you say that!
3.) 19 Jul 2016 08:10:50
Seriously Lee? Medel is anything but average. He is a far better player than Mascherano as well. If he signed, he'd be straight in our midfield next to Henderson.
He is basically Mascherano, but with actual football ability to go with the terrier like, hard tackling game.
4.) 19 Jul 2016 09:44:39
I've seen medel play quite a lot. I was a cardiff city season ticket holder when he played there. And I say with confidence that if he signed for us, we would need to have disciplined full backs, because that would be the only way in behind our defense. Medel is a beast playing just in front of the back line (far far superior to masch) . For me he would be signing of the season. Let's hope the reply you're waiting on is the answer we want ed001.
5.) 19 Jul 2016 10:33:11
Medel is a tough competitive defensively sound centre midfielder. He would make a good signing as he would give us someone who could stop attacks when we want to get a result.
6.) 19 Jul 2016 10:24:45
Average? Shows how much you've seen him then doesn't it? He's a fantastic player. A player for a while now I'd love to see in a Liverpool shirt.
7.) 19 Jul 2016 13:40:49
I don't know if anyone has noticed this or pointed it out, but these rumours about Gary Medel started after Sakho changed his number from 17 to 3. Medel plays with number 17, so it seems to me like it's just silly journalism connecting the dots.
Then again, maybe it's actually paving the way for him haha.
8.) 19 Jul 2016 17:49:25
Leej5, your post shows clearly that you have never seen him play.
9.) 19 Jul 2016 22:59:39
Better than mash! Oh my God are you for real!
10.) 20 Jul 2016 00:13:48
Griff y were u a Cardiff city season ticket holder when u support Liverpool? Odd.
17 Jul 2016 12:37:19
Morning Ed002
I read this morning that Zielinski's agent Bartolomes Bolek has come out and made a statement that the player has now made up his mind in regards to where he would like to play his football next season. but said it was a secret (? )
I did a search to see if anybody else had posted this and you have already answered it but could not find anything, and was hoping you may be able to give his secret away?
AC Milan or Liverpool?
Thanks in advance Ed002.
{Ed002's Note - THe player wants to move to Liverpool but Liverpool don't want to pay the asking price for him - so moving to Liverpool is not an option right now. Udinese have spoken and negoiated with Napoli and with Milan- they have no intention of negotiating with Liverpool who already know the asking price. Zielinski is being pressed by Milan who want an answer before they turn to one of their two options.}
1.) 17 Jul 2016 12:54:15
Thanks for the reply ED002
It sounds like a move to Liverpool is dead in the water judging by the sound of what Udinese must think of the likes of Ian Ayre et al and the tapping up saga.
It certainly doesn't do much for the clubs kudos and reputation for any future business that is to be conducted around Europe.
{Ed002's Note - It makes it difficult - but if clubs are going to do it they then should not messa round over smallish amounts of money.}
2.) 17 Jul 2016 13:22:08
I've been saying this for a while now regarding this deal. Tapping him up has poisoned the well and clearly, Udinese want nothing to do with us anymore except stick us for every penny we have which we won't stand for either. Why can't we just take a hint? Walk away!
3.) 17 Jul 2016 16:42:45
Ludicrous behavior by Liverpool on this deal.
4.) 17 Jul 2016 20:28:58
If we wanted the player enough for Klopp to speak to him wrongly and the kid wants to move to us so badly why can't we just fork up a bit more money and get this done. Either that or state we have no intention of paying more and the lad can forget about moving to us and get on with his career.
5.) 17 Jul 2016 22:51:43
because udinese don't want anything to do with us, therefore it makes it virtually impossible for us to get this deal complete, that's why Napoli and now milan are in the driving seat, let's learn our lesson from this and move on.
{Ed002's Note - Liverpool know what they have to do. And have done for weeks.}
6.) 18 Jul 2016 05:56:26
We've behaved appalling with regards to this particular transfer, it is very disappointing to see.
25 Nov 2015 21:19:00
Good Evening Eds,
ED002, if you are about. over the last 12 months or so, you have wrote some really interesting articles in regards to the pan European breakaway in which I have read with great interest
You have mentioned the meetings that take place (every 6 months in Monaco? . I might be wrong)
Has there been any meetings in the last 3 to 6 months that have happened, and if so, could you share any info that may of come out of them?
Or is it still work in progress?
Is it still attended by the G14? If I remember rightly this all the clubs who have won the Champions league since Porto in 2004
When it comes to the breakaway, how will it be decided what clubs go into it?
And who will be the governing body?
Apologies in advance if you may of answered these questions before . I thought I would try and bring a conversation to the table away from Klipperty etc as I have really enjoyed reading your lengthy and informative replies on this topic before
All the best
{Ed002's Note - The meetings were annually but now they happen two and sometimes three times a year. There is a meeting in December - and there will be a discussion about the state of FIFA, the situation with UEFA and a so far unpublished claim from a retired referee that the result of a Champions League game was influenced by a third party. The last meeting was at the end of August and included discussions about media rights and a proposal from two clubs that Timing wise, two very prominent clubs, club vs country issues and a proposal to change the forma of the UEFA League. Much of the time was taken up with a proposal from two sides who wish to see a breakaway league much sooner than has other wise been discussed. It went to a vote where they had support from one other side with two abstaining.
In terms of attendees it includes some but not all of the G14 sides. The sides that eventually have the opportunity to go in to a breakaway in the first instance will be the sides partaking in the meetings.
They have been unable to agree on a Governing body, but it will need to be new and independent.}
1.) 26 Nov 2015 10:52:44
Many thanks for the info, both appreciated and interesting.
As Liverpool had representatives in the original G14 (I have noticed this was disbanded in 2008 and replaced by a European FA with around a 100 clubs in it now) . do we still have a presence at these Monaco meetings?
Also Eds, have any more discussions taken place in regards to travelling / away fans, and if the clubs that do breakaway are actually going to have an away section in the ground?
Best regards.
{Ed002's Note - The European Club Association has no involvement in any of this, nor in anything else of note. Liverpool are not involved in any of the discussions. All fans will be welcome to the games.}
2.) 26 Nov 2015 12:08:54
I know you say it is going to happen, I just think it will be bad for football. I know it needs to be restructured a bit, but who will be able to afford to go to away games more than once or twice a season if it was across Europe. I'm not sure how many teams you said would be in the league, but I recall you saying there would eventually be two leagues, but without champions league games, and say for English teams, no fa cup or league cup games, that's a lot less games. I know there will be more good games on, if there is another league, but I would still support Liverpool, presumably still in the epl, watch their games and only watch other games when I have time.
If the champions league was still around it would be Europa league teams mostly with a few extras.
Again, I know you said it is happening, but I pray it doesn't.
{Ed002's Note - There is little doubt that eventually this will happen. I hold a reasonably strong view in terms of the need to restructure football in Europe in any case. For me an eventual a breakaway pan-European league would force the restructuring of many of the national leagues, possibly resulting in a British league with perhaps only a couple of professional tiers and then regionalised amateur leagues below that. Financially I do not see that so many English pro sides can be sustained within the sport which, like it or not, will see more and more money going in to the highest levels of the game. Governments will ensure that grassroots sport get funding but everything in the middle (Southern, Northern, Conference, Division 2, Scottish Divisions 1-3, League of Wales will not get the funding needed to continue on any sort of professional basis.}
3.) 30 Nov 2015 14:44:05
Is it possible that clubs could field two teams, one in the "EPL" and one in their national league with players being interchanged. Would they be allowed to?
{Ed002's Note - No - that won't happen. Once the clubs go they will go for good.}
16 Jul 2015 12:38:06
Good afternoon Eds
Mateo Kovacic
I have used the search function to see if there has been any progress, changes (positive or negative) or anything new to report in relation to the possible transfer of Kovacic but could not find anything recent.
Up to now we know Inter would not accept the initial amount offered by Liverpool, and Liverpool did not want to pay the increased amount Inter asked for under Liverpools conditions.
So with the original offer still on the table. is it dependant on:-
Liverpool waiting to see if Inter bring more tagerts in after Montoya, Miranda, Kondogbia, Biabiany and Murillo ( I understand some of those are loan deals and Kondogbia being around the £40m mark)in hope that when they come to sell to balance there books, they may reconsider the original offer put on the table for Kovacic, if they cannot sell who they would prefer to sell for the expected amounts to balance the books?
I guess that will be playing a waiting game, and Liverpool gambling on loosing there target if another club come in and match the price wanted by Inter
Or, are Liverpool re considering there offer, nearer to what Inter would accept to get the deal done?
And.Are Inter still looking to bring other targets in which would further delay any business happening between them and Liverpool?
Sorry for the drawn out questions Eds but I was hoping if any progress had been made very recently, or anything had changed (if we had dropped interest, or moved onto another more viable target) you may be able to pass the info on
Thanks in advance for any current info you can pass on
{Ed002's Note - No, Liverpool's offer was rejected - why would Inter sell cheaply to Liverpool? Inter and Liverpool do not at this time have any business to do. Move on.}
1.) 16 Jul 2015 12:58:25
Ed01 was saying the bid is still on the table although not enough he's hoping we revisit the deal again before the start of the season. My question is that dependent on Lucas being moved on?
{Ed002's Note - No, Liverpool's offer was rejected. Move on.}
2.) 16 Jul 2015 13:01:51
Eds 002 thanks for the prompt reply and info
3.) 16 Jul 2015 13:02:44
Ohh, figglesticks. My poor maiden heart.
4.) 16 Jul 2015 13:02:44
Ohh, figglesticks. My poor maiden heart.
5.) 16 Jul 2015 13:42:56
I don't think inter even want to sell him nor does he want to move.

Good evening Ed's
Do you guys know much of Agusta Davila? 17 year old Uruguayan on a 2 week trial
Would we be looking to offer him a contract if he impresses the coaching staff?
{Ed001's Note - I don't know very much about him apart from he is supposed to be Uruguay's top young talent. I would assume we would be looking for a permanent deal for him if he impresses, but it is impossible to say as it would come down to what they see in him.}
1.) 19 Oct 2016 19:07:10
Ok thanks Ed.
{Ed001's Note - that should say 'one of Uruguay's top young talents' by the way.}
2.) 20 Oct 2016 04:05:28
do you think he can get the work permit if we sign him?
{Ed001's Note - yes, that is not the issue as you can just pay them more to ensure it, if need be. Though I seem to remember this lad has (or is eligible for) an EU passport and so does not need one, I could be wrong on that though.}
13 Oct 2016 11:51:13
Have you heard of any updates in regards to the injuries sustained to Wijnaldum and Lallana?
Has Wijnaldum had his scans yet?
Thanks in advance.
{Ed001's Note - no mate, not heard yet.}
1.) 13 Oct 2016 12:06:09
Theyve both been in good form but now is a time to flex our muscles with squad depth and bring in some players who need game time, whether it be sturridge, can, or grujic.
2.) 13 Oct 2016 12:35:22
Yeah woolback I agree with that mate.
3.) 13 Oct 2016 22:12:52
Lallana has been excellent but could be a blessing in diguise as I love seeing coutinho deeper where he can have a greater influence and perhaps start to dictate games.
17 Apr 2016 10:24:22
Good morning all
I was hoping somebody maybe able to help me with a live steam for the game today
I'm a bit of a Luddite, however I do have a iPad but not got a clue how to watch the games on it
Would somebody kindly give me a step by step guide in what to do?
Ive tried them before but they always as for debit / credit card details and decided not to go any further with it? Are they safe?
Thanks in advance for any help offered
1.) 17 Apr 2016 10:47:02
Type in Ronaldo7 Liverpool, and then one of the top links will say Bournemouth Vs Liverpool, go on that and then if you scroll down there is a load of links, the best are the Ustream ones, click on one of them and you're set for the game.
2.) 17 Apr 2016 11:30:39
Failing that (which I might try today) firstrow sports is great if you don't go on their homepage which has been blocked, just go on the football tab and click any link for the stream except link 1. The first ones are usually English.
3.) 17 Apr 2016 11:41:17
Google 'best football streaming sites'. You'll get them all. Never pay for anything. Never give card details.
4.) 17 Apr 2016 11:49:25
Never ever give card details!
5.) 17 Apr 2016 11:59:12
Cric tv seems to work pretty well for me.
6.) 17 Apr 2016 12:09:57
Thanks for all your help lads, I'll give it a go now.

12 Feb 2016 18:24:30
Good evening ED001 and ED002
I'd like to ask your opinion on the affiliation of Liverpool FC and Nivea, and other random products associating themselves to football clubs
This is absolutely genuine, and may need ED001 to back me up at some point, as I'm not sure ED002 will believe me
So, I'm in a well known supermarket at the weekend, explicitly in the menswear grooming section. 2 lads are next to me and I hear one say to the other "I'd rather have my balls rubbed with a house brick that buy that shite"
I turned to look at what they laughing about, and were indeed talking about the Nivea cream stand with liver birds on and clearly blue noses
Now to me this doesn't surprise my one iota, I have a lot of Evertonian mates, and not one of them would buy a red car, a red kettle, write with a red pen, wear red socks, not go out with a stunner who wears red lipstick, or knickers, drink red wine. you get the picture, they think there blue is blood blah blah (ED001.it's the way it is isn't it la)
However, it did get me thinking, that 50% of Liverpool would now never buy this product, even if they have swore by it all there life.
100% of Manchester, now don't buy this product, even if they don't like football. the rival tribal thing is making them buy the good old Cream E45
How many footy fans across the land will now stop using it? How many Arsenal fans have got Nivea in there bathroom cupboard knowing the stand they picked it up off had the Liverpool crest on it?
Ask yourself this reds. are you buying Lynx with a Man U badge on it? Or fairy liquid with Lukakus mug shot on it?
Answer. no. ED002, I guess this where you call this ridiculous, or us fickle. but it's what happens.
I won't reveal my age but I should know better. I ain't buying no Spurs shampoo
So, back to my original question. if Nivea sales fall because of our identity on it. do you think it may affect other bigger brands want to be associated with us in the future, could it affect commercial revenue, clearly not in a major way, but a dent?
Of course the flip side is there are people in the Afghan Kush now applying Nivea because Coutinho did his throwing a bucket of water at the camera thing, or advertising as you would probably call it
Just food for thought, and a bit of fun away from the ticket prices and protests etc
{Ed001's Note - I doubt their sales will drop from the association, even if both Everton fans stop using it.}
1.) 12 Feb 2016 18:45:14
I remember seeing on tv once before a Newcastle vs sunderland match a Newcastle fan said he didn't eat bacon because it was red and white and reminded him of sunderland! also I bet other clubs fans didn't stop drinking carlesberg because they sponsored lfc. agree with ed 1 on this.
2.) 12 Feb 2016 18:47:21
Probably targeting fans abroad if anything, if both Everton fans stop using it (thanks ed) then it's a small dint but Liverpool FC would have been telling Nivea about our millions and millions of fans in Australia, America, Norway, Indonesia etc and Nivea will be hoping to improve sales in these markets.
I mean how many football fans from Liverpool or Manchester use moisturiser? Probably just yourself an me when I see a new grey hair and freak out a bit. Lol.
3.) 12 Feb 2016 18:56:59
ED001 lol, you get what I'm trying to say though right?
{Ed001's Note - yes mate, but only a few people will stop buying it, whereas a large number will buy it because of the raised profile.}
4.) 12 Feb 2016 19:01:40
Milkey and Kenny your both right, like I said it was for s bit of fun more than anything
But it is true. are you two buying products with a Man U badge on it? Never in a million years
It was just to highlight the tribal / rival thing, and even at 51 years old and should know better, it's still there in me lol.
5.) 12 Feb 2016 19:10:21
ED001, now I have your attention
Can I ask a slightly non Liverpool question, that is a) basically on everyone lips, and b) because ED002 had debt the Manchester lot to Coventry
. you know what it is right?
{Ed001's Note - no you can't have my babies, sorry.}
6.) 12 Feb 2016 19:17:33
youre right kemlyn I can't tell you how many times I have been in asda and have been tempted to pick up the man utd birthday cake drop it on the floor and stamp on it for no reason other than that cake makes me puke!
7.) 12 Feb 2016 19:31:44
ED001, comon give it up, I know it's not directly Liverpool related, but, our are rivals from up the M62 going to have Mr Jose Mourhino in charge come August 2016?
{Ed001's Note - nothing is agreed yet, but he would like that job.}
8.) 12 Feb 2016 19:39:45
Are the MU board considering him?
You know ED002 is going to blow a fuse talking of such matters in such a irrelevant domain
ED001, try the Europe page lol.
{Ed001's Note - I will run off there now and have a look.....}
9.) 12 Feb 2016 20:18:54
I've got Gary Neville bog roll - don't see a problem using it.

11.) 12 Feb 2016 23:12:28
Everton and united fans don't use products like that anyway, have you seen the state of them? Haha.
12.) 12 Feb 2016 20:01:02
For Kenny.
Dave Whelan was a whisker away for purchasing man united. His wife advised him that having jjb and man united related could cause problems for jjb as other fans would stop using it. He agreed and bought Wigan instead. Lol.
13.) 13 Feb 2016 00:19:39
good one paulo96 keep the jokes coming!
{Ed007's Note - So Dave Whelan done a deal with Rangers and alienated every right thinking normal human - and look how they both ended up!}
14.) 13 Feb 2016 02:03:29
karma its a cruel mistress ed7,im sure you're heartbroken about it all. don't forget the mike Ashley/ rangers partnership which kept the laughs coming. I heard after the cup final Whelan sent the fans home in a taxi and that included Martinez in the passenger seat!
{Ed007's Note - It's boring mate, it's bored me for years and Ed001 will back me up on that, it's petty and very ugly. I'd love to cheer for Ashley for what he's done/doing to them but I just can't - my wife's friend works for SD and it's not the best. Nothing fancy or that she's a manageress in a shop but the conditions are bad enough without the hassle from Rangers fans they get.
I hope the LFC fans think of those folk with your protests about this and that, there's ordinary people get dragged into it too. Here endeth this week's sermon.}
15.) 13 Feb 2016 03:27:57
im sorry to hear about your wife's friend ed7 I have never believed in dragging civilians into football matters. I don't mind banter but I do believe there is a time and a place to air your grievances, nobody deserves hassle in the work place esp over things they have no control over. I think we can easily forget that at the end of the day, there are more important things in life than football, sadly people do go over the top which is no excuse, sadly these idiots have the brain cell of peter griffin. one question mate, do you miss the old firm derby?
{Ed007's Note - You're far too sensible to be on here lol No I don't miss the Derby in the slightest, overall Scotland's a better place without it.}
31 Dec 2015 16:51:03
Hi ED002
If your about, I was wondering what you make of WYSCOUT, who uses it and how definitive / reliable it is to the club scouts?
And, I guess it's that time of year to say thank you for all the info you have given all the posters through 2015.the efforts you put in to to sludge through the some of glifnards nonsense is comendable. but without those vegetables, we wouldn't be able to laugh at your priceless put downs
I've particularly been interested in the really informative pieces you have wrote about the pan European breakaway and the big picture that is inevitably upon us
Hope you and your family have a prosperous 2016.
{Ed002's Note - I am afraid I don't know what WYSCOUT is Kemlyn, but it sounds like a video based scouting programme. There are clubs who use such things before looking at players - and there are clubs that use advice before looking at players. I appreciate the thanks and we will all try to maintain an ongoing level of integrity.
Have a nifty night.}
25 May 2017 07:32:58
Ooops Sorry ED - Im still waking up.
{Ed001's Note - it's ok, I can understand it was a shock to read something you agreed with from me.}

Exactly ED002
The fact he had to organise it because the club had not bothered to do anything after 22 years of service speaks volumes in itself. Its all rather embarrassing. Terry is that far up his own backside, he must of thought its what the world wanted to see.
I'm surprised he wasn't at the Friends Stadium last night in a United kit waiting to run on and lift the cup his morals are that low.
{Ed001's Note - erm Ed001 mate! Other than that I totally agree with you.}

Its is a pity Klopp couldn't convince his fellow countyman Lahm into not retiring at the end of the season and bring him in on a free for a season or two. He can cover left back, right back and the central midfield position that would be left by Lucas, plus a whole lot of experience. there isn't much he hasn't won.
I know he is 33 now, but so is Dani Alves and watching him play top flight CL football last night you wouldn't think so, set up both of Higuains goals too
Just a thought, Jurgen.

Do you happen to know if Mariano would consider a summer move to Liverpool?
{Ed002's Note - I have no idea, sorry.}

Ok thanks Ed.
{Ed001's Note - that should say 'one of Uruguay's top young talents' by the way.}

Liverpool and Manchester are separate Urban areas, in separate counties of the country, Merseyside and Greater Manchester.
Bootle, historically was part of Lancashire, not Greater Manchester.

Eli: Dinner
Eliza grabbed my hand and pulled me to her room. She started to search through a suit case.
"Hmmm," She looked at me and then would go back to searching. "Pink is your color, I think," Then a few minutes later, she pulled out a laced pink dress. My size.
She helped me put it on and I got on some shoes and we walked to dinner.
I was clutching my mother's hand as I looked around in awe. The tables had laced cloths not plain white cloths. The silver ware was very beautiful. A bowl of something was put infront of me.
"Eliza?" I asked, "What's this? And which spoon do I use first?" She looked at me and then looked around.
"It's a type of soup, and to put it bluntly," she smiled, "Work your way in."

Balancing the seats of power
Sceptics have been quick to belittle, as politically motivated, the government's latest proposals for a new political appointment system. They say the system will be used to reward supporters and allies, or to enlarge the political empire of the chief executive. Some say the changes will do nothing to further democracy and accountability.
There's no doubt that the best way to strengthen accountability is to elect the chief executive and the legislature by popular election, which would establish a vigorous system of checks and balances. That sort of democratic accountability should remain an important goal for Hong Kong.
But whatever the nature of the political system, the question will remain: what is the best way to fill the top positions of government? Until the introduction of the ministerial system by former chief executive Tung Chee-hwa in 2002, such positions were monopolised by the civil service.
Some might still think that government by bureaucrats is the one best-suited to an administrative state like Hong Kong, where party politics is underdeveloped. There is also the view that, since the chief executive is not popularly elected, a meritocratic civil service upholding political impartiality provides the only countervailing force to any excessive use of power. The price we pay for this, however, is the further entrenchment of bureaucratic power. This renders political parties 'essentially on the outside looking in' when it comes to policymaking and governance - as former chief secretary Anson Chan Fang On-sang put it recently. Opening top policymaking positions to people outside the civil service is the only way to groom new political talent.
The 2002 ministerial system launched the government on a path of no return, but that change was only half-baked. Without support from political deputies and assistants, the principal officials have to depend unduly on career civil servants to do what, in other systems, are more properly handled by political appointees. Further, it hasn't been clearly established how the new system could lead to greater accountability. The way forward is both to improve the ministerial system and democratise the election system. The current proposals to introduce politically appointed deputy secretaries and assistants to secretaries are in the right direction - towards strengthening ministerial capacity in terms of policymaking and political work.
But it does not mean that civil servants would become divorced from policy formulation. In some countries, such as Britain, there is a distinction between ministerial officials (secretary of state, minister of state and parliamentary undersecretary) and the civil service team, headed by the permanent secretary. The latter continues to provide active policy advice to ministers. A system of delicate balance of power - and collaboration between the two teams, grounded in ministerial responsibility - enables the government to function effectively.
In Hong Kong, as we move away from a system of government long dominated by bureaucrats, two chief doubts hang over the changes. First, can senior administration officials come around to accept a changed role in policy formulation? Efforts must be made to forge mutual trust and appreciation, to prevent tensions from arising. And a firewall is needed to ensure different lines of command apply to the political tier and the permanent civil service, though they are unified at the level of the minister.
Second, will the government recruit people of high calibre from a wide cross-section of society, to join its political ranks? Any perception of bias towards certain sectors or parties would draw condemnation as political favouritism, not conducive to strengthening and broadening the government's power base.
