Oxford International Primary Maths Oxford International Primary Maths takes an problem solving approach to learning mathematics, engaging students in topics through asking questions that make them think, and activities that encourage them to explore and practise. As students progress through the course, they not only learn about mathematical concepts, but also how to use problem solving techniques in their approach to studying the subject.
The topics are explored in careful stages, introducing different aspects at a pace that allows students to absorb and practise what they have learned. Photos, illustrations and diagrams are used to help students explore and understand, and the language is clear and easy for primary children to understand.
The Digital Resource Pack provides additional support for teachers through a combination of front-of-class animations, interactive activities and assessment material that enhance student understanding and engagement by learning digitally. Additionally, a full audio glossary is included to assist teachers and learners with difficult or new vocabulary.

|Re: TeamCity dependency tracking
|Tue, 23 Dec 2008 10:17:21 GMT
I don't think this is possible at the moment with Ivy. Please open a JIRA feature request Maarten ----- Original Message ---- From: Tom Widmer <firstname.lastname@example.com> To: email@example.com Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2008 10:50:09 AM Subject: TeamCity dependency tracking Hi all, I'm using a TeamCity build server as an Ivy repository for our build artifacts, and it works very well for the job except for tracking dependencies when using a varying build version, like 'latest.release'. To fix the problem, I need to be able to pass different log in credentials for the ivy.xml files to the artifacts. I have a resolver for the repo like this: <url name="teamcity" latest="latest-time"> <ivy pattern="${teamcity.ivy.repo.root}/[module]::([branch]-)main/[revision]/ivy.xml" /> <artifact pattern="${teamcity.ivy.repo.root}/[module]::([branch]-)main/[revision]/[artifact](.[ext])" /> </url> I have: <credentials host="build" realm="TeamCity" username="${teamcity.auth.userId}" passwd="${teamcity.auth.password}"/> but obviously those credentials are used for both the ivy.xml files and the artifacts. Is there any way to specify different credentials for the ivy.xml files? Background: TeamCity has a cunning system of tracking dependencies between builds by providing build-specific TeamCity log in credentials to your ant build script in a couple of properties (though Hudson's system of fingerprinting is just as cunning, and would avoid the problem I'm having). Anything downloaded with those credentials during the build gets logged by TeamCity as a dependency of the build. I use this to have automatic tracking of any dependencies that Ivy downloads from TeamCity (the TeamCity UI allows you to navigate to dependency builds, prevent them being cleaned up automatically, etc.). So, what's the problem? I recently added a nightly regression testing build that always builds against the latest build, using latest.release. Unfortunately, this causes the build to download the ivy.xml file from every single build that exists on the server in order to work out which is the latest. So the regression testing build appears to depend on every single build (though you can tell the real build by looking for the build where more than 1 artifact is a dependency). I've made it workable by disabling dependency cleanup prevention for that build (so at least the regression test doesn't prevent automatic cleanup of old, unused builds), but it would still be nice to prevent every single ivy.xml file being listed as a dependency! Two possible fixes: 1. Persuade Ivy to download ivy.xml files only using standard credentials, so those downloads won't be tracked. 2. Persuade TeamCity to ignore downloads of ivy.xml files using the build tracking credentials. I can't see a way to do 2, but does anyone know how to do 1? Perhaps this is a feature request - some way to bind credentials to things other than just hosts. Thanks, Tom

Celiac Disease in Children
In Children. The symptoms of celiac disease in children typically become apparent three to five months after first consuming gluten- containing foods although for some few cases, the interval may be as short as one month. Several of the experts on infant feeding advise that solid foods should not be introduced to a baby's diet until nearly five months old and that gluten-containing cereal should be avoided for the first six months of life.
The celiac, but otherwise normal baby, thrives until gluten is introduced into the diet and then begins to refuse feedings and fails to gain weight. The child may gradually become irritable or listless and develop a large abdomen. The stools will typically become abnormal, perhaps large, pale and offensive, or representative of a loose-like diarrhea. Stools generally float because of the high content of air and fat. The child may also vomit from time-to-time or in some cases exhibit forceful projectile vomiting with the consumption of selected gluten-containing foods. Many children lose weight or have a failure to gain weight and the buttocks become flattened. Some few children may become quite ill with acute diarrhea and dehydration. Symptoms vary and are different from one celiac child to the next with no two being alike in how the condition "acts out" for them and in their bodies.
Older children with more subtle symptoms of poor appetite, poor growth, and anemia are much more difficult to diagnose as there are many other reasons for failure to grow in childhood. Clinical symptoms often diminish or disappear during puberty [adolescence], although biochemical or morphologic abnormalities of the celiac condition may persist. More active symptoms will again reoccur in early adult life following the period when the immune system appears to "give more of its attention" to sexual develop- ment. While the teen may feel that he or she has "grown out of the disease," the actuality is that the condition continues and should [must] be treated with the same strict gluten-free diet.
Symptoms to Expect. Personality changes may occur in children with celiac disease; selected children may become unable to concentrate, be irritable, cranky, and have difficulties with mental alertness and memory function; however, the same process may also occur in teens and adults. Before removal of gluten from the diet, celiac patients may experience selected neuro-psychiatric symptoms including mood changes, irritability, and depression. The celiac parent may need to reduce expectancies in learning, following explicit directions, and in carrying out selected aspects of basic discipline for their celiac child.
The damage to the mucosa lining of the small intestine is the same for both children and adults. There appears to be a rapid loss of cell surface with the result, even with increasing cell recovery, it is unable to keep up. The loss of absorptive surface cells of the mucosa of the small intestine results in failure to digest and absorb food from the small intestine into the blood. The concentration of gluten is highest in the upper part of the small intestine, just beyond the duodenum, where the absorption and the damage to the bowel occur.
In the person with celiac disease, products derived from wheat, which contain proteins commonly called gluten or gliadin, cannot be digested because of an immunological reaction to the toxic prolamins in these proteins. Products produced from barley, rye, and oats cause the same immune response because their prolamin content has similar amino acid sequences. Wheat, however, is the only grain that contains all of the toxic prolamins. It is from wheat gluten that we have the base nomenclature for the gluten-free diet.
The continued consumption of the toxic prolamins in a person who is affected with celiac disease causes a reaction that destroys the villi in the small intestine [the jejunum], resulting in malabsorption of vitamins, minerals, proteins, amino acids, sugars, and fats. In children, this malabsorption may also cause bone problems because of lack of calcium, varying levels of abdominal distention, vomiting, muscle wasting, and failure to properly grow and develop.
Why Celiac Disease in my Child. Celiac disease presents a wide spectrum of symptoms. The three central factors that appear to relate to onset include the following: inheriting the "right" genes, the appropriate gliadin from a grain protein to cause a toxicity, and the action of the immune system. The genes that determine celiac disease can come from one or both parents in the blood line. In from 2 to 15 percent of families in which one parent has celiac disease, multiple members will have the potential to develop the condition. Most researchers indicate that same family siblings appear to have a 30 to 40 percent risk of developing celiac disease. While the HLA genes are necessary to cause and develop celiac disease, they alone are not sufficient to cause the condition to be activated.
The Gluten-Free Diet. Beginning with the diagnosis of celiac disease, it is important to find the best way of helping that child to accept the fact that there are certain foods that he or she cannot eat. Parental and sibling attitudes and the attitudes of friends in the community will be important as well. If family members and friends can accept celiac disease and the diet as a way of life, it will be much easier for the child—now and later in life. The dictates of a strict gluten-free diet can be more easily communicated to children if the emphasis is on "what you can have" rather than "what you can't have." Lists on the refrigerator, having their snack drawer, and a program of gluten-free food items that includes everyone in the family at meal time will be helpful. Having their lists at restaurants, snack shops, and at school will be supportive and helpful.
With a celiac child, the family then becomes a celiac family. For most families, it is typically best if the entire family is on the gluten-free diet. That is not to say there should not be special occasions and specialty foods from time-to-time. If all main dishes can be the same, much of the feeling of being different in the home will be removed. Exceptions are most often breads, cakes, and pastries, but even these staples should be provided for all family members if there can be acceptance and a good attitude.
It is important that the child understand as many aspects of the gluten-free diet as necessary for his/her stage in life. The symptoms and difficulties that may be encountered in going off the diet can be dealt with in a simple, straightforward manner. These matters, of necessity and in the interests of self-care, must be handled without threat and without instilling fear or guilt. As the child learns about himself and his/her body, he or she needs also to learn about the digestive system, this particular disease and how to handle it appropriately.
Treatment of the Celiac Child. Special needs, special skills, special interests should be treated as such; and, without making the child to feel different or "not quite good enough." Attitude and parenting skills on the part of the parents and extended family members will go a long way toward not having the child enter into any aspect of what may be referred to as "the sick child syndrome." Since one or both parents may find themselves overextended or overprotective with their own child who has the celiac condition, it is often helpful to review and discuss management practices with the child's pediatrician and the school nurse or counselor. Teach and represent these skills to grandparents, friends, and extended family. Big ears, big feet, having an allergy or diabetes, getting a C in English, and having celiac disease are all a part of reality and life. Keep them all in their place. Do not help to create nor set yourself up for a "poor sick child illness" that could be worse [and is typically always worse] than the celiac condition.
It is also highly desirable for parents not to become obsessed with symptoms [should they recur], nor to become obsessive about checking stools and questioning behavior at school and away from home. Do not blame every minor illness and infection on the celiac condition. All children become ill; treat minor illnesses as matter-of-factly as possible. If your child should "hold onto illnesses" such as infections, ear aches, and colds for a longer time and take a longer time to respond to medication and to get back to normal routines—make it a fun time for being together, for learning and reading together, for sharing with one another. Look for opportunity and you will find it; look for despair and you can find it, too.
Encourage your child to accept invitations to parties and dine out as often as reasonable for your household. Simply take along a few gluten-free foods that are appropriate for the occasion and regard that as standard operating procedure. As a parent, make yourself aware of school and holiday functions and be prepared; at times such as Halloween, take treats to the several homes which your child will visit; for holiday and birthday parties, take and provide the appropriate foods for your child. Make some extras so that other interested children might also sample and participate. When guests come to your home or you are hosting parties or after-school snacks for your child, provide gluten-free food for everyone; it will help your child to feel more secure in his or her own home.
Eating Out. Do not avoid eating out; obtaining a gluten-free meal in most restaurants and fast food establishments need not be difficult. Fruits, grilled meats, vegetables, salads, eggs, and potatoes can be staple choices in many locations. Teaching a child how to make wise choices will help him or her to be self-sufficient now as a child and later on as a teen when greater independence is allowed. Look for restaurants that offer the most variety and that have staff members who will take the time to assist with making gluten-free choices. Concentrate on food choices available that you can have rather than "sawing through" and negating all of the items you can't have. Help your child to develop "menu cards" for his or her billfold for the restaurants and hotels you visit most often. The name of the restaurant or fast food shop along with four or five appropriate food choices can then be readily available and provide a level of independence that does not then need parental input for each and every visit. Enlist and encourage cooperation and support from chefs and food staff members by expressing your thanks and appreciation for their thoughtful assistance. Consider reminding your child to follow up your good experiences with either a telephone call or a note.
At School. For the school system, it will be helpful to have a "prescription" or letter from the child's pediatric gastroenterologist regarding the diagnosis along with a brief description of the illness and the basic needs for the strict gluten-free diet. A visit with the school nurse to highlight present behavior and present health status, and to learn how best to handle the needs related to the prescription diet in that particular school district will help to develop good connections within the school. It may be possible to develop a team of the physician involved, the school nurse, and the school dietitian or head of the dietary department to consider the needs of the child and how he or she might best fit into the school represented.
Woven into the plan of action at school must be "helping the child to help himself" to move toward independence, self-management, and self-care. Above all the plan must move out of and away from all potential for any child being labeled as a "sick child"—especially within the family and in the family's introduction of the child to the school and community. Do not look to the development of a protection system, but to the development of a facilitation program that relates to the needs represented in this student [a student who happens to have celiac disease]. The wise parent will not emphasize differences, problems, what my child can't have, etc. and will then avoid getting onto the trail for the development of the sick child syndrome.
If your particular school cafeteria program can not be accommodating to gluten-free food selections, try sack lunches. Hot and cold foods in thermos jars may need to be provided to supplement either a school cafeteria menu or a sack lunch. Packing gluten-free sack lunches for dad or grandpa and enlisting evaluations of food selections from both children and adults can be become a meaningful involvement and brings the prescription diet into the family system. Share with three or four of the commercial food vendors your need to prepare sack lunches. Their dietitians and customer service representatives will come forward with excellent food offerings and sack lunch menu suggestions.
In Teens. Most celiac teens will do an excellent job of keeping strictly to the gluten-free diet; a few do not. Those teens who can stay on the prescription diet appear to be able to rise to any challenge and adapt without bother for what could be perceived as any kind or level of health problem.
Some teens do have a tough time "being different" from the crowd. They may have a high need to impress friends in their peer group and also may feel they cannot be different in any way in the eyes of an employer or an authority figure in the school or community. They may need extra encouragement and support and time to discuss their feelings and particular circumstances. Above all, they must know and gain awareness and understanding that they have a life-long condition for which gluten is harmful.
As teens learn to know and understand their bodies and changes which occur, they may need to have assurance from both parents and their monitoring physician regarding the high attention the immune system will be giving to sexual changes and associated body developments. For, it is during these months that it may appear that celiac disease has "gone into remission" or an even greater myth—"that they have grown out of the disease." Both of these concepts have no scientific basis. The disease holds forth—perhaps with fewer or recognized overt symptoms. Thus, the teen and young adult must be helped to understand that "once a celiac, always a celiac" is not just a trite or cute saying dreamed up by someone in the medical community. It's a well-researched fact. And, most of all—teens and young adults need to maintain a strict adherence to the details of the gluten-free diet—now and for life.
High School and College. Dozens of boarding schools, college dormitory systems as well as Big 10/Big 12 as well as schools in the Pacific Rim, and Ivy League have adequate flexibility to handle the gluten-free diet along with any associated specialty needs such as lactose intolerance and specific food sensitivities. These schools and colleges want to help, they like be asked to help and are anxious to do their part if there can be communication regarding the need. So, if the teen will be going away to college and chooses to live within a public system, there is good support and a high interest in dealing with the details of the gluten-free diet. Some colleges will request a prescription from the physician; most schools prefer having special needs regarding diet indicated to them at the time of application for housing. Students who may choose to live off campus but who wish to have some support from the university food services will typically find this service readily available to them. With only a bit of pre-planning, foresight, and communication—meeting special dietary needs such as the prescription gluten-free diet will not be a problem for a college or boarding school student.
For some celiac patients, the intolerance to gluten appears to heighten periodically and to be close to remission at other times. At this point, there are many case histories and much recorded data, but there appears to be no concrete answers as to why these patterns occur. Most of all, such patterns must not be perceived by the celiac as an active or inactive phase of the disease. The disease continues; its symptoms may be covert, but nevertheless, continue to be the primary illness for the individual. And with the illness in place, the strict gluten-free diet must also continue to be in place.The Gluten-Free Diet for Life. The critical reason for banning gluten for life is that every small particle of gluten may do some damage even though the patient may not be aware of it as a problem at the time. The realization and learning must be: one molecule of gliadin can be as bad as ten thousand. Case history data appears to define that later on in life, the patient who goes on and off the diet or who cheats here and there, is the patient who will run the potential risk of a severe relapse, the addition of other immune-related conditions, or new or related health problems will be introduced. The message is very clear—the basic and cardinal premise for self-management of celiac disease is to avoid all gluten in any and all of its varying formats. Saying "no" can be the ultimate of self-care.

Brief Answers and Comments:
[d] Celiac disease and
Cystic Fibrosis constitute the most common causes of malabsorption in infants
and children. Celiac disease is
disorder of the small intestine, producing clinical evidence of malabsorption,
characterized by structural [histological] abnormality of the mucosa that is
then reversed by gluten withdrawal. The
incidence of this condition is significantly higher in Europe than in the United
States, i.e., as frequent as 1:300 to 1:500 in western Ireland.
More than one member of a family can be affected, e.g., small intestinal
mucosal abnormalities in first-degree relatives.
In addition, a link has been found genetically, histocompatibility
antigens, most notably HL-A8. The
likely explanation for this finding rests with immune response genes, which have
been linked to the histocompatibility loci in man, as well as in animals.
Yet, 20 to 25 percent of patients with celiac disease do not have the
HL-A8 antigen. Other HL-A8 antigens
have been associated with celiac disease, too, e.g., HL-A1antigen.
Therefore, other factors such as environmental and genetic play a role in
the development of celiac disease.
[c, e] In the 1950s, Dicke
initially, others later, observed the association of gluten in the diet with the
resultant enteropathy, celiac disease. The
consumption of gluten [wheat protein] or one of the ethanol extract fractions,
gliadin produces this condition, while their strict dietary elimination results
in remission. Acidic peptide
products of gliadin, such as fraction IX or alpha gliadin, have been
particularly implicated.
Two major proposals have been frequently mentioned as
the cause[s] of the intestinal lesion upon exposure to gluten or toxic peptides.
In the 1980s, the intestinal peptidase deficiency was emphasized.
Its theory is based on the lack of an intestinal peptidase, necessary for
the detoxification of gluten. Although
peptidase deficiency is present, mucosal injury is also present.
This deficiency is more likely secondary to the intestinal lesion because
healed mucosa has normal peptidase concentration, suggesting a non-primary
The theory that celiac disease is an immunological
disorder is the present consideration, especially because of studies with in
vitro organ cultures. Biopsy
specimens from the small intestine mucosa of normals, patients with gluten
enteropathy, and from patients with other intestinal disorders have been studied
by this technique. Immunoglobulin
synthesis, IgA and IgM antibody with antigluten specificity, was found to be
increased only in patients with gluten enteropathy.
In addition, IgA complexes have been found in the small intestinal mucosa
of patients with gluten enteropathy after gluten challenge.
No effect with gluten challenge [protein] was noted in specimens of
patients in remission. Therefore, these results suggest that gluten protein must
first produce an internal change in tissue integrity of susceptible individuals,
e.g., activation of the endogenous effector[s], before toxicity occurs.
This hypothesis has been strengthened further by the production of
mucosal changes in the presence of gluten protein only when cultured with the
mucosa of a patient with active disease.
Other aspects of the immune status in gluten
enteropathy have been extensively studied.
Atrophy of the spleen ahs been confirmed in several reports.
Up to a third of patients may be affected.
The cause remains undefined. An
increase of blood-born infections is a possibility.
Humeral [B-cell] investigations have been numerous.
Serum IgG levels has been generally high, while serum IgM levels have
usually been low. Elevated, as well
as low or normal, serum IgE levels have been reported. Two percent of patients have associated isolated IgA
deficiency. Conversely, elevated
levels of IgG, IgA, and IgM are usually found in intestinal secretions.
Immunocytes [IgA, IgG, IgM] in the intestinal mucosa are increased in
number; and increased synthesis of IgA and IgM has been noted in organ culture
experiments. Cell-mediated [T-cell] studies have been numerous, too.
Reduced numbers and function of circulating T-cells have been reported,
using resetting technique and lymphocyte PHA [pyhtohemagglutinin]
responsiveness, respectively. However,
clinical evidence of T-cell deficiency has not been observed, e.g., viral/fungal
The other choices [the other answers] have not been demonstrated to be present in gluten enteropathy.
[f] Steatorrhea [excessive fat excretion] is absent in 10 to 30 percent
of children with confirmed celiac disease and is apparently related more to
extent than severity of the intestinal mucosal lesion.
Usually the 3-day stool fat collection between nonabsorbably markers in
untreated celiacs reveals fat excretion over 10 to 15 percent [normal, 5% or
Other laboratory studies, including d-xylose
absorption, have been performed in the evaluation of possible celiac disease.
Both urinary excretion [5 hours] and blood levels should be measured
after an oral dose of d-xylose. Some
authors have reported the complete separation of untreated celiacs from controls
by use of only the fasting and one-hour blood levels.
Based on this abnormal value, small intestinal biopsy has or has not been
performed. Serum total protein and
albumin levels have been decreased in only 50 to 70% of untreated celiacs.
In addition, nitrogen losses in stools are abnormally high in only 50%.
The cause[s] of the protein abnormalities appears to be abnormal
exudation through damaged mucosa, increased cell exfoliation, and diminished
amino acid uptake by the damage mucosa.
Altered pancreatic functional status, specifically
reduced volume, bicarbonate, and enzyme output, is probably related to impaired
release of secretin and CCK-PZ [cholecystokinin-pancreozymin] from damaged small
intestinal mucosa. Altered release
and/or synthesis of endogenous CCK-PZ also results in decreased bile delivery
and impaired fat absorption. Low
serum iron and foliate levels, and less so vitamin B-12,
have been found,
as have low prothrombin levels.
Radiological studies may be helpful.
Bone age may be retarded in long-standing, untreated celiacs.
Osteoporosis and osteomalacia are not infrequent.
Rickets, per se, is not frequent. The
"classical signs" of celiac disease on small bowel series include dilation
[jejunum especially], segmentation [large barium clumps with dilated loops], and
hypersecretion [flocculation]. In
addition, transit time may be slow and diffuse thickening of the mucosal fluids
may be visualized.
[a, c] The histological
features of celiac disease have been well described.
The small intestinal tissue is obtained by peroral small biopsy, suing
one of several types of biopsy capsules, e.g., Crosby-Kugler.
Initially, there is an accelerated rate of enterocyte loss [shedding].
This results in a compensatory increase to the proliferative zone of the
intestinal crypts. The mucosal
architecture will then be altered when the compensatory effort is inadequate. Subtotal or total atrophy of villi occurs, specifically
shortening and clubbing. The crypts
become elongated, increased in diameter and tortuous. This produces an alteration in the normal villous-to-crypt
ration [over 2:1]. In addition,
there is increased cellularity of the lamina propria, predominately plasma
cells, less so lymphocytes. Increased
collagen may be noted in the subepithelial part of the lamina propria.
These changes are particularly prominent in the proximal jejunum.
Disaccharidase assay of the involved mucosa has
revealed decreased levels, particularly lactase. In addition, decrease alkaline phosphatase, peptide hydrolase,
and other enzymes, have also been found.
The other answers, granuloma formation, particularly
suggestive of granulomatous bowel disease, and lacteal dilation, suggestive of
lymphatic obstruction or disorder, e.g., intestinal lymphangiectasia, are
[a, b, e] The obvious form
of treatment is a gluten-free diet. The
initial response is usually dramatic and reasonably rapid, usually within days.
The stools become less frequent and more formed, and the appetite and
disposition improve. Catch-up growth [height, weight] is noted within months.
Normal mucosal architecture is usually achieved within 3 to 6 months.
Conversely, celiac disease is a permanent condition, and re-introduction
of gluten to the diet will be followed by recurrence of mucosal abnormalities.
Yet, many authors maintain children on a gluten-free diet for at least 2
years and then reintroduce gluten. Tolerance
to gluten is truly a matter of trial and error, requiring careful, continued
observation in order to assure adequate appetite, activity, and growth
development. These clinical
assessments should be substantiated periodically by repeat laboratory tests and
repeat peroral intestinal biopsy. If
symptomatology reappears or there is a lack of clinical response after 6 months
while on a gluten-free diet, repeat evaluation, including intestinal biopsy, is
in order. A diagnosis other than
celiac disease is likely.
Because the disaccharidase of the small intestinal
mucosa is frequently reduced in celiac disease, particularly lactase, the
corresponding substrates [sugars] should be restricted in the diet.
Corticosteroids have produced variable
responsiveness, including improved appetite, activity, growth, and decreased
stools. Their use has been
primarily in more severely affected children and in infrequent crises.
Antacids and anicholinergics do not have a place in the usual management.
6. [a, e] Celiac crisis is fortunately uncommon since it is a life-threatening complication. It may be precipitated by prolonged fasting or intercurrent infection. Dehydration and metabolic acidosis occur due to the protracted diarrhea and vomiting. Treatment includes nasogastric suction, intravenous fluid therapy, colloid administration if shock or undue hypoproteinemia is present, and usually parenteral corticosteroid administration.
With celiac disease in adults, malignancy may develop. Lymphoma of the
small intestine is most common but carcinoma of the gastrointestinal tract, such
as the esophagus, may develop. Strict adherence to the gluten-free diet
does decrease this incidence. The other answers have not been consistently
associated with celiac disease.

Planning authority accused of ignoring disability issues
GUERNSEY'S planning authority has been accused of ignoring disability issues.
GUERNSEY'S planning authority has been accused of ignoring disability issues.
John Millns made the claim to a planning appeals panel after the Environment Department refused him permission to create vehicular access at his home, Laburnum, 1, Colborne Place, Queen's Road, St Peter Port.
The panel was told how Mr Millns had brought his parents to live in Guernsey in 2007. Both were 83, his father was wheelchair-bound and his mother suffered from dementia. Care workers needed to visit twice daily and the only parking was at a garage the appellant owned in Mount Durand.
The house was on a different level to the road.
He wants to knock a hole in the wall on the Mount Row side of the property and create a turning point and parking for two vehicles.
Comments for: "Planning authority accused of ignoring disability issues"
I may be missing something, but why on earth would anyone buy a property, knowing that some of the occupants had mobility issues, that was not suitable?
The mad thing is - literally up the road a hole in the wall has been knocked through in the same manner he and his family would like.
The reason he is not allowed it from what I hear is because of where it is on the rural plan, where as up the road it is in a different area.
I think the guy is right. He should be able to make amendments to a property to make it suitable for disabled people living there. I think he has been let down.
We want public buildings to be suitable yet have an strange situation that it is ok for private homes to be unsuitable - and this is where people are supposed to be most comfortable.
We have an aging population, more and more people are going to need amendments to their homes to live in them as they have every right to. I think health purposes trumps how it looks. Its no good if they are not fit for purpose.
I understand the environment department has to follow the law/guidelines (not sure on correct word there but the meaning is correct in that a process has to be followed). Then the appeals panel judge whether they applied the law/process appropriately. So even if the outcome is unreasonable the situation does not get changed as long as the rules were followed.
The whole procedure or rural plan is what needs to be changed to be more appropriate. I believe there are deputies looking at this now. I hope the aspect of disability is considered.
I would also if speaking to the guy suggest the disability alliance. They seem really organised, have achieved a lot already for the disabled and may be able to help. I think the states has a designated disability officer as well.
If anyone feels the same way please speak up. It's the only way these things change and the next person they restrict could be yourself or someone you care about.
I agree, to create an access through that wall would create an accident waiting to happen. There are plenty of properties in Guernsey suitable, just move.
Paul am i reading your reply, JUST MOVE so its as easy as that is it your disabled with disability issues so F U just move no trying to work around this problem with the states JUST F-IN MOVE not to mention the price of property as you are disabled it will be twice as much, come on MR Millns stop being a pest and just move, i like your attitude paul to the disabled in guernsey see nothing has changed there on the rock....
I think I might be reading this wrong, and I'm just going by the photo above, but if they knock a hole through the wall there won't they be straight onto the filter? What a stupid proposal and I'm glad they rejected it. That road is bad enough as it is, only an idiot would even bother trying to do that. Assuming I'm reading this correctly, they've got a fairly big driveway a little further along.
I believe that the proposed 'hole in the wall' will be along Mount Row at the far end of the photograph, next to an already established driveway. Mr Millns parents were five years younger than they are now when they came to live at their son's house, so their disabilities were not apparent then. Don't you just wish that in your twilight years, you would have a son or daughter who would want to do the best they could for you?
Well said Neil. Mr Millns should be allowed to create access to and from his property. Why should he have to move? His elderly parents would find it very difficult to get used to a new home at their stage in life, us fortunate enough to be able bodied find a house move traumatic, to say the least.
With a turning point, access to Mount Row would be no more hazardous then negotiating the filter by his home.

It's not just bad meat that's to blame when you're howling in the throes of food poisoning. According to this transparency from GOOD Magazine (data from the Center for Science in the Public Interest), the riskiest FDA-regulated food is unwashed leafy greens (meat, poultry, and processed egg are regulated by the Department of Agriculture). Remember the Dole baby spinach tainted with e.coli in 2006? More than 200 people died. And last year's tomato Salmonella scare? The list of these ten foods (eggs, tuna, oysters, berries, etc.) accounts for nearly 40 percent of foodborne outbreaks.
For more, check put this Howcast video on how to properly wash leafy greens. This is not an animation from a Wii game.

The Moscow Picnic organised by Afisha magazine, which took place in Kolomenskoye Park and welcomed over 50,000 people, is the biggest open-air summer festival in Moscow. First of all, it provides a wonderful atmosphere, and is the realisation of a dream city for a single day. The residents and other visitors could attend numerous entertaining and educational events: concerts by famous European and Russian bands, fashion shows, summer games, films, lectures, master-classes, and enjoy food from all around the world.
'Twenty ways to make your city a better place' space at the Picnic was co-organised by the Cloudwatcher, and offered visitors an exciting programme of lectures, presentations, films and master-classes. The most active citizens and city organisations presented their creative ideas on how to invigorate our cities, leading architects and urban developers discussed the avant-garde, green transport and innovative social advertising, and creative people were conducted various master-classes. To rest a little from all these "serious" discussions, visitors relaxed by listening to our DJ, by exploring interesting magazines and books in our open air library, or just lying on comfortable cushions watching the clouds and drinking tasty coffee made by the Kofein coffee shop. All visitors interested in being more actively involved in the process of making their cities better places were invited to learn more about the Creative Cities project and join us at one of the events.

2011 Citizen Survey Results Released
Auburn, Ala. -
The results of the 2011 Citizen Survey are in, with citizens giving high marks to City services, the overall value received for their tax dollar and the quality of life in the City of Auburn.
Residents indicated on the survey that they were satisfied or very satisfied with Auburn as a place to live and raise children (95%). Citizen satisfaction increased significantly in 27 areas, decreased significantly in 1 area (customer service in the Water Revenue Office), and exceeded the national average of cities surveyed in 57 areas. Survey results show a significant increase in satisfaction with the overall value received for City tax dollars/fees, up 4% from last year, placing this measure 33 percentage points above the national average.
Residents provided guidance to City leaders in the survey, indicating that traffic flow, street maintenance and Auburn City Schools should continue to be high priorities overall.
In presenting the results to the City Council, Chris Tatham of the ETC institute, a Kansas market research firm, pointed out that the City of Auburn was setting the standard for other cities with overall satisfaction levels significantly higher than the national average.
For more information, please call the Office of the City Manager at 501-7266.

Orlampa: The Merging Of Two Cities
Ten years ago, surrounded by old orange groves, Kermit Weeks built an aviation themed history attraction and planted a sign along Interstate 4: Future Site of Downtown Orlampa. The notion of a metro corridor linking the two cities is now no longer a dream. University of Florida researchers say that Polk County, which sits between the two cities, could gain as many as 240,000 people in the next 25 years -- the equivalent of relocating Jersey City, N.J. into the county.
For many moving to the region, the draw is a chance to buy a bigger house -- or any house at all, as prices in Tampa and Orlando soar beyond the reach of teachers, police officers, social workers and retirees. For some, it's one of the rare places a person can still buy a rural life - acreage for a horse and barn, something unheard of in urban Orange County and Orlando, 40 miles away. And for others, the lure is jobs.
How long it will take for the I-4 corridor to build out remains a guess. The University of Pennsylvania Urban Design Studio is creating models of alternative futures within the corridor -- the PennDesign Central Florida Alternatives Future study -- and these show Polk County developing about 335 more square miles by 2050. Plan results will be released in January.

But Aurizon's success in negotiating deals with its competitors and customers is gradually winning over sceptics and the Queensland government's progress in getting rid of its holdings has enabled investors who stayed out of the initial public offering chances to buy in.
Aurizon's shares have held steady at $4.04 – not far below a high of $4.21 hit in February – after the government's most recent sell-down, indicating investors continue to support management's growth story.
Sentiment towards Aurizon has been boosted by the group's recent $6 billion ports and rail deal with India's GVK Hancock Coal to open up Queensland's frontier Galilee Basin.
Although the deal is still tentative, analysts have taken heart and expect that the agreement will lead to Aurizon at least partially developing and owning infrastructure linking the basin to export coal ports, and will also further progress an agreement with another Indian group, Adani, to develop rail links to the coast.
Analysts at Commonwealth Bank have estimated that the GVK and Adani basin developments could add significantly to its current valuation of Aurizon, because they would generate higher returns than its current infrastructure investments.
Every $1 billion worth of capital invested by Aurizon to fund development of track infrastructure would add 12¢ to the company's valuation,the bank estimates. It has a price target of $4.75 on the stock.
The Galilee projects are estimated to require some $6 billion worth of capital, and it is estimated Aurizon would contribute anywhere between 50 per cent and 100 per cent.
Aurizon had previously been examining building its own multi-user rail line in the Galilee, which is estimated to contain some 14 billion tonnes of coal.
But investors were worried that its plans would be superseded if the coalminers built their own tracks.
Although a weaker resources market has hurt Aurizon's coal haulage volumes, it has benefited the company's infrastructure development arm as coalminers have postponed their own development plans and become more willing to team up with rivals.
Meanwhile, concerns about an overhang on the stock as investors waited for the Queensland government to sell down the 34 percent holdings it acquired as part of the initial public offering are gradually dissipating. The government only holds 8.9 per cent now.
Some investors are concerned about Aurizon's lack of transparency, after its board permitted changes to financial targets that have enabled management to receive bonuses. And investors do not know how much Aurizon will benefit after renewing its coal haulage contracts with its largest customer, the BHP Mitsubishi Alliance, because it has not disclosed the terms of the contracts.
Others point out that while the company has set out heady financial goals, such as operating ratio target of 75 per cent by the 2015 financial year and a margin target of 25 per cent on earnings before interest and taxation, it remains unclear how it will achieve them.
"Although they have given margin targets, they haven't provided a road map on how to get there," one institutional investor says.
Investors hopeful of more stock buybacks – Aurizon bought back $1 billion last year following the Queensland government's sell-down of half its initial stake – could also be disappointed, as the rail operator is now likely to use excess cash for capital investment because of the deal with GVK.
Investors are weighing up whether Aurizon will succeed in making further cost cuts, which could boost the stock. "We think Aurizon is modestly underpriced," one investor says, adding that more share price gains depended on management delivering promised cost reductions.
Other analysts believe that Aurizon is now fully valued and Goldman Sachs is recommending investors buy rival rail group

In the wake of Thursday's damning Freeh Report, many have called for the statue of former football coach Joe Paterno to be removed from the Penn State campus.
Despite reports that the board of trustees had decided that the statue would remain outside Beaver Stadium, the school issued a short statement Sunday night denying a decision had been made.
"Contrary to various reports, neither the Board of Trustees nor University Administration has taken a vote or made a decision regarding the Joe Paterno statue at Beaver Stadium," the statement said.
Earlier Sunday, ESPN reported the board had ruled the statue would stay.
Citing a source "with first-hand knowledge of the trustees' private discussions this week," the ESPN report says the decision was made in part not to offend students and alumni who hold the late coach in high esteem.
After former FBI director Louis Freeh's 267-page report was released, the board of trustees had said there was no timeline on a decision about whether to remove Paterno's name or image from the campus.
That has not stopped others from disassociating themselves with the Paterno name or altering his image.
Within hours of the report's release, Nike announced it was removing Paterno's name from the child development center on its Beaverton, Ore., campus.
On Saturday, Pennsylvania artist Michael Pilato painted over the halo he had posthumously added to Paterno's image on a State College mural.

Passenger door silk light out. Any help?
I need some part number and DIY help with this. I don't wanna pay $350 for this. Thanks
Which side is the door sill out, i Might have one i can sell you that I bought as a pair? Its a quick removal, you will have to give a good pull to get it out. Utilize a pait can opener with some tape around it to avoid scratching your paint. Insert screw driver at one end and just lift. Don't pull at the entire piece because you have a wiring connector that attaches to the sill to illuminate it.
The passenger one
You may be in luck because I had to replace the drivers side only, I'll will get home and confirm tonight. Would you be interested in purchasing the passenger side door sill if I have it?
For sure.
But are you sure it will fit on mine? 09' 650i. Just asking to make sure.
Yes they are compatible if you, you can send me a picture of your door sill and I will send you a pic of the door sill I have. Please send me a Private message on here with your pic and email and I will do the same.
I almost forget about this issue. Can u just post the image here ? easier and other people can give suggestion too.
If not, I have plenty of standard bulbs laying around if your other purchase doesn't work out.
They have really bright LED kits, I got mine Angel Eyes from them. It works great.
It was very easy - I installed the whole kit in about 15 minutes (took my time and I'm not much for DIY). All plug and play, and no error codes - very happy with the brighter white lighting.
I emailed Light Tape Innovations this afternoon for price and delivery. I very much want to get this installed. White will be ordered once I get the details from the supplier although I am thinking about the blue. Choices, choices...

The well-built athlete joined the Fresno State program as a quarterback, but quickly found a home as the team's primary offensive weapon after moving to tight end. He did not rest on his receiving laurels, however, as he developed into what head coach Pat Hill calls, "the most devastating blocker we've ever had at his position, ever!"
While he will go down as one of the best players to ever wear a Bulldogs uniform, there was much more to his game than just receptions and blocking. He also excelled on special teams, finishing as the school's career record holder by blocking six kicks.
Still, his football exploits don't tell the full story about McKenna Sean "Bear" Pascoe. Growing up on a ranch, the cowboy is also an award-winning rodeo calf roper. Pascoe was a big, physical quarterback and one of the top all-around athletes in the Valley during his playing days at Granite Hills High School. He was selected the 2003 East Yosemite League Offensive Player of the Year and was named All-Area after guiding his team to a 16-4 record over the last two seasons, including the 2002 East Yosemite League title.
As a senior, Pascoe accounted for 1,851 total yards and 16 touchdowns, generating nearly 3,500 yards and 33 touchdowns over his final two seasons. Not limited to just offense, he was regarded as one of the league's top outside linebackers.
Pascoe added to his prep resume when he was named a first-team All-East Yosemite League basketball player as a junior. He also lettered in track, competing in the EYL Finals in the shot and discus, placing sixth in the Valley championships in the discus as a junior.
In 2004, Pascoe enrolled at Fresno State, spending the season adjusting to tight end from quarterback. He so impressed the coaching staff that he was named Scout Team Player of the Year for his performances in practice. He played in all 13 games, including nine on offense, where he earned three starts in 2005. He pulled down five passes for 34 yards and returned five kickoffs for 27 yards.
As a sophomore, Pascoe took over tight end duties, starting all 12 games. He finished fourth on the team with 22 receptions, gaining 307 yards (14.2 avg) with two scores. He had one kickoff return for 12 yards and registered four tackles, as he blocked kicks in each of the Oregon and New Mexico State clashes.
Despite missing one game and a good portion of another with an ankle sprain, Pascoe became the first Fresno State tight end to receiver first-team All-Conference (Western Athletic) honors. He finished second on the team with a career-high 45 receptions for 553 yards (12.3 avg) and four touchdowns. He blocked two more kicks, knocking down a field goal in each of the Texas A&M and Nevada contests.
Pascoe was named to the John Mackey Award Watch List and again garnered All-WAC first-team honors, even though his ankle problems again saw him sit out one entire game and a part of another. He again ranked second on the squad after hauling down 40 passes, good for 400 yards (10.0 avg) and four touchdowns…He added two more blocked kicks to establish a new school record with six blocks for his career.
Positives: Good frame for the position. Good bulk and overall strength as a blocker. Uses his hands and leverage well as a blocker and provides as much effort as a blocker as he does as a receiver. Puts smaller defenders on their back and plays through the whistle. Able to reach linebackers at the second level. Former quarterback who understands where the holes are on the defense. Solid route-running in the short to intermediate zones. Uses his body to shield defenders. Natural hands catcher who can who fight for the ball and can track over his shoulder. Bullish runner who fights for extra yardage.
Negatives: Not an elite athlete in the Kellen Winslow mold. Lacks the straight-line speed to threaten the seam against NFL talent. Takes a few steps to get to top speed. Flashes the ability to make tough receptions with defenders draped over him, but needs to continue to work in this area. Leans forward when blocking, and needs to improve his balance facing stronger defenders. Defensive backs use their quickness to elude him while blocking in the open field.
Compares To: KRIS MANGUM, ex-Carolina — It is fitting that he is compared to a retired player, as Pascoe is an old school type of tight end, one that does a good job of blocking in-line and is used as a safety valve receiver underneath. He is not the type to threaten the seam and you will find most other tight ends in the draft able to outrace him, but he has the intangibles – a blue collar work ethic, tough as nails and willing to sacrifice himself to make the play.
Injury Report
2007: Missed a good portion of the Utah State game (11/03) and sat out the Kansas State clash (11/24) with a high ankle sprain.
2008: Did not play vs. Idaho (10/11) and Utah State (10/25) due to an ankle sprain.
2009: Could not participate in 225-pound bench press at the combine due to a right shoulder injury.

Brett Favre's streak ends as quarterback is on Vikings' inactive list
By Mark Maske
UPDATED (12:20 a.m.)...
Quarterback Brett Favre's record durability streak ended when he was on the Minnesota Vikings' inactive list for Monday night's loss to the New York Giants.
Favre had started 297 consecutive regular season games. But an injured right shoulder kept Favre out of the lineup Monday, even after he gained an extra day to heal when the game was postponed because of a snowstorm in the Minneapolis area.
The game was pushed back by a day and, after the roof of the Metrodome was damaged by the snow, was moved to Ford Field in Detroit. But that wasn't enough for Favre's shoulder to heal sufficiently for him to play. Favre was not in uniform and watched from the sideline as Tarvaris Jackson started at quarterback for the Vikings.
"It's probably been long overdue," Favre said at a postgame news conference. "There's probably been a lot of times this streak should have ended.... I just couldn't play."
Favre said he was suffering from numbness in his right hand, possibly due to a pinched nerve. He could be headed to the season-ending injured reserve list, and his NFL career potentially could be over. Favre, a three-time league most valuable player, has said this will be his final season.
"I've played with a lot of stuff," Favre said late Monday night at Ford Field. "But this is something different that I've got to be more cautious of.... I think it would be foolish to even consider playing if you don't have total feeling in five fingers."
Favre said he first experienced discomfort during a triumph over the Washington Redskins and the injury was aggravated during a win over the Buffalo Bills in the Vikings' previous game. Favre exited that game with what was called a sprained right shoulder.
He said he expects to undergo another exam Tuesday. Vikings Coach Leslie Frazier said following his club's 21-3 defeat to the Giants that the decision for Favre not to play had been an easy one.
"It was a no-brainer," Frazier said. "We couldn't put him out there. He couldn't function as a quarterback."
Frazier said he hoped to have Favre back in the lineup this season but left open the possibility that Favre could be placed on the IR list.
Counting the playoffs, Favre had started 321 games in a row. His streak dated to 1992 and included starts with the Green Bay Packers, New York Jets and Vikings.
"It's been a great run," Favre said. "I'm really proud of it."
He had played through injuries, controversy and personal turmoil.
The 41-year-old grandfather played a Halloween game this season at New England after being diagnosed with a stress fracture and avulsion fracture in his left ankle and heel. Favre underwent ankle surgery last offseason following a rugged overtime loss at New Orleans in last season's NFC championship game, and he played with elbow pain earlier this season.
He played with a broken thumb on his throwing hand in 2003. He played on after suffering other significant injuries, including a mid-foot sprain during a game in 2000, a sprained lateral collateral ligament in his left knee during a 2002 game and a concussion during a 2004 game. He played through pain in his right biceps late in the 2008 season with the Jets.
Favre kept playing after two announced retirements, and he kept playing even when he had to put aside grief in his personal life to do so. Favre played in a game in 2003 one day after his father, Irvin, suffered a heart attack and died. That was one of several off-field dramas involving Favre that were on display for the public while he kept playing. He was treated for an addiction to painkilling medication early in his NFL career.
Favre's 297-game streak was the equivalent of 18.6 NFL seasons. The 2,632-game playing streak of legendary Baltimore Orioles iron man Cal Ripken was the equivalent of 16.2 baseball seasons.
"Brett has had an incredible career and his consecutive games streak is remarkable," Ripken said in a written statement through a spokesman. "As a football fan I cannot fathom his accomplishment and I appreciate his dedication to and passion for the game. He is a true gamer and has provided us all with a lot of wonderful memories."
It has been a trying season for Favre and the Vikings. Favre contemplated another retirement last offseason, but he agreed to rejoin the team for a second season with the Vikings and a 20th season in the NFL after three teammates visited him at his home in Mississippi during the preseason. The Vikings hoped to make a Super Bowl run this season after falling one step shy last season, when Favre had what he called the best season of his career and finished fourth in the league MVP voting.
Instead, the Vikings have a record of 5-8. Favre has thrown 18 interceptions and only 10 touchdown passes this season and was the league's 29th-rated passer entering Monday's play. Favre also has been investigated by the NFL after a report by the Web site Deadspin that he sent inappropriate electronic messages and photos to a former Jets employee, Jenn Sterger, when both were with the team.

Dear Bret,
Please retire so we can savor the good memories instead of what looms if you continue. You've had a great run. See you in the Hall of Fame.

Well it was a long time coming , and I'm glad he wised up. Bad enough getting hurt but spending the rest of his life a cripple is not an option. And if that arm kept getting hurt , that may have been just what would happen. He led a charmed career , mostly because he wasn't a running back or receiver but just the overall falling to a frozen ground is enough to cut the length of linesmen's careers and keep them limping forever. I hope he means it this time . But he sure did the Giants a favor. That Jug-eared boob they have for a quaterback fell into a win because of the Giant's great defense, the 2 running backs they have , and an Offensive line that lets him sit back there in a " rocking chair ' all day. And still he threw 2 interceptions and one that was dropped. Imagine if we Giants fans had Philip Rivers as we should have, if the boy born with a silver football in his mouth had been forced to go to San Diego who drafted him. How much pull did ol' Archie have 7 years ago to make the NFL allow his little boy to thumb his nose at the draft and opt for New York. And that fluke MVP he got was a real laugh. Throwing a pass that bounces off a defenders helmet and falls into a teamates hands while he lies on the ground doesn't happen every day. But Manning thinks it will. As it is he's leading a charmed life without too much pressure on him. He relies on that one big trick he has. Well actually two. The sneak count to draw the other side into the Nuetral Zone, and then throwing a 5 foot pass sideways and having Bradshaw run it for 98 yards to build up his throwing yardage . He's still way up there with the interception ratings . 7 years and he still thinks he can throw into triple coverage. He'll give Coughlin a heart attack , yet.

(1) Remove the SPAM shoe and handbag ad.
(2) The obvious question is how does this start record compare to other NFL QBs? It is likely at or very near the top so does anyone have the Stat?
(3) 18.6 seasons or about 6 normal human lifetimes of pain and stress. BF is one tough dude and if it ends here, he has done more than anyone should expect and he needs to find something to fill the gaps and let him be happy. Maybe a video game, "Bret Farve's Spring Training" on Wii where the user learns basic plays while getting back in shape?

I guess you have to quit using demoral eventually. I feel sorry for B.F., in the end he will have used every ounce of his body for football. Hope he doesn't have to use pain killers just to get out bed when he finally retires.

Canon has revealed the PowerShot G1 X and two new Ixus cameras – the Ixus 125 HS and Ixus 500 HS.
The PowerShot GX 1 serves up a large CMOS sensor which should result in less noise and sharp images even when the ISO is cranked up, which is an impressive feat given its dimensions in comparison to a DSLR. 4x optical zoom and full manual controls in addition to a pop-up flash, optical viewfinder and accessory hotshot round off the spec sheet rather nicely.
The 125 HS starts off the more wallet-friendly IXUS range and will arrive in a selection of brightly coloured hues. Its spec sheet consists of a 24mm 5x optical zoom, a 16.1MP sensor and Full HD video recording with image stabilisation.
The Ixus 500 HS features a 10.1MP sensor and 12x optical zoom and is also a member of the Full HD video recording club. Both models also have Canon's Digic 5 fast image processor for lightning-quick shutter snapping action.

The whine is Lethal
Page Tools
Photo: Rocco Fazzari
TFF was recently told a great yarn by the former Labor Senator Stephen Loosley about the famous Great Britain rugby league player and notorious hard man Vince Karalius. The scene was set back in the early '70s after a particularly tough Test match against the Kangaroos, which the Brits had lost. Karalius, by then retired and a successful businessman, walked into the Lions dressing room to find a bunch of whingeing, whining losers carrying on about the ref, the Kangaroos, the conditions, everything they could think of. Karalius, known as "The Wild Bull of the Pampas" simply couldn't bear it, and roared at them: "Shoottt oopp! Shoottt oopp! Luds, in this game, yer gives it, yer takes it and yer don't fookkin' groomble!"
Who has been an Australian equivalent of Karalius? The way I hear it, Leigh Matthews, regarded by many as both the best and toughest player that Aussie rules has produced, would have run him close. They didn't call him "Lethal" Leigh for nuttin', and as a player he was legendary for not only putting on the big hits, but also copping them without a whiff of whinge. As a coach, until recently, he has been similar. Extraordinarily successful - four premierships speak for themselves - he could also cop a loss without descending into tedious "we wuz robbed" rants. So what has happened? Dunno, but, even allowing for the fact that he can't be feeling too good over the past four weeks about seeing his Lions go from being on the boil to on the nose, every headline he has generated lately has been a whinge, variously about Eddie McGuire, the umpires, Eddie McGuire, the opposing players, McGuire again, the media, the AFL administrators, the lot! Enough already, Leigh! For no sooner have you started than Ricky Stuart and Ewen McKenzie have, too, becoming so deafening with their own whingeing they have drowned out even Campo! We can't stand it any more. STOP WHINGEING!
Smash repair job
And speaking of taking hits, TFF heard a lovely and true yarn this week about a bloke called Peter who died. At his funeral, they told the story of how when he was a young fella, he came up against the legendary Johnny Sattler in a provincial rugby league match. From a family of saw-millers, Peter was a tough nut and knew this was his chance. Soooo, early in the game he lined up Sattler and hit him high, hard and with a bit of elbow on top just to make sure Sattler got the message.
Oh dear.
Sattler got up and played the ball, without comment, or even a look. A little later, though, when Peter had the ball, the sky suddenly turned dark, there was a rush of wind and Sattler nailed him in a completely legitimate tackle. Still, helping Peter to his feet the great man said quietly, "Don't ever do that to me again, young fella!".
Not only was Peter sure not to, but when he did tackle Sattler cleanly later in the match, he made sure he made amends as the legendary footballer got up to play the ball. "Sorry, Mr Sattler," he said.
Hamming it up
We keep telling you Dennis Cometti is the best football commentator in the country, but you wouldn't believe us, would you? Well, cop this. With the once mighty Brisbane Lions on the wrong end of a 73-point hammering at the hands of the West Coast Eagles last Sunday, they managed late in the game to get what is known in the trade as a "consolation goal" but our man wasn't impressed. Tell 'em what you said, Dennis: "Well, the wheel may still be turning, but the hamster's already dead."
Pie chuckers
There was Eddie McGuire, Collingwood president at the mighty MCG as the Collingwood v Essendon game was about to get under way, hand in hand with his four-year-old son, Joseph, kitted out in his own mini Magpies jersey with, of course, Nathan Buckley's No.5 on the back. Daddy Eddie was pointing out various things to his son around Australia's second-most sacred bit of sporting turf when he came to something of particular significance. That would be the press box. "And that's where all the people who are mean to Daddy sit."
Wake-up call
TFF has long been touched by the enormous and enduring respect with which the Wallabies of the late 1950s and early 1960s treat their quietly charismatic captain, John Thornett. No bones about it, those blokes, now in their 60s and 70s, love him, and he returns their love in kind. It was for this reason I was particularly saddened to hear recently that the former forward had been diagnosed with terminal cancer - and not surprised to hear that a month ago many of those Wallabies had gathered from all over the country at the Kirribilli Yacht Club on a gloriously sunny Sunday to bid their fond farewells.
It was a kind of living wake, with Thornett as guest of honour, and amid the laughter and reminiscences, the sadness hung heavy, particularly when the time came to say their proper goodbyes for the last time. And then, a fortnight ago, they all got the phone call.
He's OK! It seems that something, something MISDIAGNOSIS something, something EVERYTHING FINE something, something ANY FITTER HE'D BE DANGEROUS! Great news indeed, Mr Thornett. And may they all live happily ever after.
Jaw breaker
Dear TFF,
What you said last week about Andrew Johns being injury-prone cannot go uncontested. A broken jaw is an impact injury, not an age injury. It is in no way a result of injury proneness. If Johns were out injured with a recurrent bung knee or shoulder, you'd be right. If you'd been saying the Waratahs shouldn't sign him because he has a bad tackling technique and is putting himself at risk of breaking his jaw, you'd be right, too. But, as it is, you're wrong. Jaws are random injuries. You might as well gloat if a tree fell on him: "Ha! I knew the ARU shouldn't have signed him."
Signed, Malcolm.
TFF replies: While TFF magnanimously acknowledges being frequently wrong, TFF does not (sniff) gloat. TFF observes; TFF notes; TFF sometimes, just sometimes, savours; TFF often says "TFF" so often the TFF reader wants to shoot him, but TFF does not gloat. Thank you.
Team of the week
Newcastle Knights. The horror continues. They have now gone seven rounds without a win, and it is said they will do a victory lap this week if they win so much as the toss.
Ben Tune. In his first Super 12 game in two years, having been sidelined through severe injury, the former Wallabies winger turned in a stunning performance for Queensland to guide them to an all-too-rare victory.
Queensland Reds. A win! As ever, it looks like they are just starting to come into sterling form - right at the moment when the Waratahs start to hove into view at the farthest reach of their headlights. Rrrrrrrrrrrramming speed!
Manly Sea Eagles. Top of the NRL table! At the same time as the Waratahs! Who would have thunk it?
Adam Scott. After his win in Beijing last week, goes to No.6 in golf's world rankings and consolidates his position as Australian Most Likely To Win A Major.
Chelsea. Look likely to win the Premier League, which I think is, like, the soccer comp in England, or Britain, or somewhere over that way, anyway.
Peter Crittle. Retired as president of Australian Rugby this week after four years of sterling service, and a stretch of six years before that as NSW Rugby president. As I have said before, when it comes to selfless service to the game at dozens of levels, there is only Nick Farr-Jones who can look him in the eye.
Dean Widders. The Parramatta forward this week won the inaugural "BounceBack" athlete-of-the-year award for promoting reading among children in indigenous communities.
What they said
"Mobile Coverage As Great As The Knights." This is the advertising blurb being used by Telstra up Newcastle way. Still, the folks who live there reckon it's pretty accurate!
"My dad is 70, my mother is 60. The chances of another Kapil are close to zero." Kapil Dev replying to a question as to whether India will ever be blessed with another Kapil Dev.
"We all live in a Robbie Fowler house." (Sung to the tune of Yellow Submarine.) According to the BBC sports website, this is the chant of the Manchester City fans to their hero striker since news broke that he is the richest British sportsman under 30 and buys houses for fun.
"It looks like I've got half of Bunnings in there." Knights forward Daniel Abraham to Newcastle Herald reporter Brett Keeble on seeing the X-ray of the hardware that had been used to repair his broken leg.
"Come on, mate, using the word 'Fitzphiles' to describe TFF readers is the most egotistical, big-headed, self-absorbed, narcissistic, conceited, bone-headed, second-rower-like idea you have promoted in a dog's age I love it and count me in!!!!" Dennis Oldfield.
"Sure beats being called a Peter-Phile. But people who stop reading your column - are they XPhiles?" Bruce Ryan.
"Rome has given me a new lease on life. They have just appointed a 78-year-old coach." Essendon coach Kevin Sheedy and still a spring chicken at 58.
"For using an illegal bat, we fine you half your match payments and $2.50 corkage." According to "Macca", a The Herald-Sun cartoonist, this will be the likely response of the ICC to Ricky Ponting when the issue of his bat comes to a head. (As TFF was told by Ponting's manager, though, there has never been ANY suggestion that Ricky uses cork in his bat, AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT!)
"I am fed up with copping flak about sledging when there are two sides to the story."
Shane Warne, in The Times, after being accused by Sussex captain Chris Adams of over-the-top verbal abuse of Matt Prior.
"When we're going out anywhere, he has his shower first before I need to shower, wash my hair, get ready, get dressed and I still sit at the bottom step and wait for him."
Erica Gregan telling Enough Rope's Andrew Denton that her husband, the Wallabies captain, is a metrosexual. If you saw the interview, it showed a side of Gregan rarely, if ever, displayed in public. He has a warm side!
"You'll run out, you'll line up on the other side of halfway, you'll see those dirty, rotten Pommy bastards, you'll sing Advance Australia Fair, and then you're going to go through them like a madman in a glass factory with a crowbar." According to an article by Greg Growden this week, this is what the great David Brockhoff roared at the Wallabies before they went out to face England in 1975.
