It was offering to inject the cash into the money markets in an attempt to reduce the rates of interest that banks are charging each other.
But in the first round of bidding, no banks or building society applied for the cash.
The auction will operate again for the next three weeks.
Is it a surprise that nobody bid for the cash?
Not really. The Bank of England has admitted that, having set a minimum lending rate of 6.75%, the loans were "expensive".
And since the announcement, there has been a significant fall in three-month interbank rates which has exacerbated how costly such a loan would be to a bank.
Analysts have also speculated that banks may have stayed away because of the stigma attached to drawing on the funding.
There was also concern that, although the names of borrowers would not have been announced, the City rumour mill would have eventually unearthed those taking up the loans, highlighting their desperate need to get hold of extra funds.
Why was the Bank of England auction introduced?
Banks normally borrow from each other or gain funds from the money markets when they have a mismatch between borrowers and cash.
However, since August this money has dried up because some banks have been hoarding cash to guard against the uncertainty in the world's financial markets.
This led the Northern Rock to ask the Bank of England for credit, because it was unable to borrow in the money markets or elsewhere at a cheap rate of interest.
Other banks are also having difficulty borrowing money.
It was hoped that this injection of cash would encourage banks to start lending to each other more readily.
This would help to lubricate the money markets and reduce the rates of interest that banks are charging each other.
How is the Bank of England's auction working?
After there were no bidders in the first auction - where up to £10bn was available - the Bank of England will repeat the process every Wednesday for the next three weeks.
The day before each auction, the Bank will say how much is available and at what rate it must be repaid over a three-month period.
UK banks will then be able to bid for as much as they like of the total available.
They put in a bid saying how much of it they want and what interest rate they are prepared to pay above the minimum rate set by the bank - currently 6.75%.
If there are any bids, the Bank then allocates the money to the highest bidders until the money has run out.
A big change is that the Bank of England will now accept a wider variety of bank assets, including mortgages, as collateral.
This change in the rules allows financial institutions to borrow more than they would have done previously.
They can also keep the money for much longer before paying back the Bank of England.
Are mortgages really an asset?
Yes, because they represent a promise by homeowners to pay funds to the Bank in the future.
If the Bank of England did lend out money, where would it be coming from?
The money doesn't exist at present.
The Bank of England creates it for the purpose of lending it out to the banks and electronically transfers it to their accounts.
However, the banks will have to pay it back within three months, when it may simply disappear again.
What is the Bank of England's job?
The Bank of England has two important jobs.
It maintains the stability of the pound and prices in the UK. The Bank has to meet the government's inflation target of 2%.
The Bank of England is also responsible for ensuring financial stability by detecting and reducing threats to the banking system.
In exceptional circumstances, it may act as the lender of last resort if banks get into trouble.
Does the Bank of England normally lend money to banks?
The Bank of England normally has an overnight lending facility available to commercial banks for them to draw on, but it charges a rate above the base rate.
Currently, this is 6.75%, one percentage point more than the Bank of England's base rate, which is relatively expensive.
If banks borrow from the Bank of England, they previously would have had to post very safe assets, such as government bonds, as collateral.

St. Augustine, Fla. (April 27, 2008) – Senior starter Carter Clements (Eustis, Fla.) threw a complete-game and allowed three runs on nine hits, helping the Saint Leo University baseball team (28-21) defeat Flagler College (24-22) by a score of 6-3 on Sunday afternoon in St. Augustine, Fla.
Saint Leo was led by centerfielder Kyle Hobbs (Jr., Dade City, Fla.) who went 3-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored. LF T.J. Alonzo (Jr., Tampa, Fla.) was also 2-for-5 on the afternoon with a pair of RBI, while senior 3B Devon Cason (Tampa, Fla.) drove in the game-winning run in the eighth inning.
The Lions took the lead in the first, as Alonzo drove in the opening run of the game with a groundout. Saint Leo doubled its lead in the second inning when Hobbs delivered an RBI single to score Cason from second base.
Flagler battled back to take its first lead of the game with three runs in the fourth, but Saint Leo quickly tied the game in the top of the fifth when Alonzo doubled down the left field line to score Bobby Munoz (Jr., Tampa, Fla.) who had led off the inning with a walk.
The Lions took the lead for good in the eighth, as Yunior Tabares (Sr., Tampa, Fla.) led off the inning with a single. Cason drove in Tabares with a single and Hobbs plated two insurance runs with a two-run single through the left side.
Clements made the lead stand up, as he allowed just two hits in the final five innings to go the distance and improve to 6-3 on the season.
Saint Leo will close out its regular season on Monday, May 5 and Tuesday May 6 with a three-game Sunshine State Conference series at Nova Southeastern University. The first game will be Monday night at 6:00 p.m. with a Tuesday doubleheader beginning at 1:00 p.m.

2 Easy Steps to Create Repurposed Content for Your Local Business
Creating interesting and engaging content to promote your local business online can be a challenge. To further complicate the issue, you often need to develop content for a blog, your website, and the social media platforms you participate on. One of the easiest ways to continually provide good content and effectively use your content creation time is to repurpose materials you create. Two of the easiest ways to accomplish this are:
Reuse current modified content in a new arena. It can be best to use a methodical approach to repurposing your current content. Therefore, spend a little time gathering together all your previous content perhaps in a database for current and future reference. Then start to look for opportunities to re-use revamped materials. For example, your local business may have several how-to YouTube videos available to its customers. Why not use this great content to create blog posts explaining step by step how to complete a specific task. Gain the most mileage you can out of both of these similar yet different pieces of content by promoting them on Twitter or Facebook. Basically look for other ways to share previously created content in a slightly different format which often may capture a different audience than the original media or message.
Get a new perspective and fresh ideas by hiring a writer. It can be a wise use of your time and your local business' resources to hire a ghost writer. This individual can bring a fresh perspective to your business and previously created content; in fact, it's often easier for someone like this to take old content and make it sound like a new idea. If you do decide to hire a ghostwriter, look for someone with strong English speaking skills who has experience researching ideas and creating business content.
By using these two basic suggestions, you'll be well on your way to painlessly generating some re-purposed content that leaves your readers and customers engaged and coming back for more!

|Morningstar named region's top employer
|Kerry Craig | News-Telegram Assistant Editor
Dec. 6, 2005 - Morningstar Foods Sulphur Springs facility has been recognized with the North East Texas Employer of the Year Award by the Texas Workforce Commission.
The award recognizes an employer who has created or used innovative approaches to recruiting, training, retention, upgrading worker skills, job redesign, child care, the use of technology, community involvement and collaboration.
Morningstar Foods in Sulphur Springs has experienced significant growth in its manufacturing and distribution capabilities. With the growth came the need to recruit, hire and train new employees with the skill set to fit jobs in the dairy industry. With a strong link to the local workforce center, Morningstar has been able to recruit highly qualified candidates to fill a variety of vacancies.
Because of the highly specialized process to manufacture dairy products, many of the new employees and even incumbent workers, required specialized training. The training helped employees in their present positions while providing the basis for future promotional opportunities. The experience and training provided to employees will transfer to most any food manufacturer.
Morningstar manager Joe Wallace was quick to give credit to the employees for the plant's success and recognition and said November was a record month for the Sulphur Springs facility
�In November, we shipped two million cases � 38 million pounds of product � which is an all-time record,� Wallace said.
The employees, Wallace said, were the ones due the credit for the plant's growth and accomplishments.
�These are the people that actually get us the recognition,� Wallace said. �Those are the people that are making it happen out there.�
In the past year, Morningstar has added seven new production lines, essentially doubling the size of the facility, and the number of employees has grown.
�This past year we have grown from 165 employees about a year ago to now 265,� he said. �That is 100 employees we have added in production as well as distribution.�

Chicken pasturing ebook
of you who have been following this blog for the last few years will
know that I've been reading up on and experimenting with the best way
to pasture chickens. I kept looking for one book that answered
all of my beginner questions, and when it didn't turn up, I followed my
father's advice and wrote my own.
Do you want to enjoy healthy eggs and meat from chickens raised on pasture?
Permaculture Chicken: Pasture Basics starts at the beginning to help you design the best pasturing setup for your flock and for your homestead. Great grazing for chickens won't be found in the perfect pasture for sheep or cows --- you need to tweak your design to match a chicken's unique behavior and stomach.
Included in this volume are an explanation of chicken digestion and behavior, pasture specifics like size and shape, a rundown on which traditional pasture plants chickens enjoy, tips on maximizing plant growth during rotation, and an explanation of how to establish new pastures and maintain existing grazing areas. Cut your feed costs with pastured chickens!

Hi - just wanted to let you know we just read your ebook and it is really informative. I have had chickens all my life, trial and error have kept us with a flock. The kids and I want to hatch (culled our flock last fall ) our own this year instead of mail order and your book came at a great time to prepare. Just wanted to let you know its a big help to us! So thank you for all the hard work in research...yes, I am one of those who fear spread sheets too - so glad of the alternative math method! Jessica
Comment by late Sunday evening, February 24th, 2013—
Jessica --- Thanks so much for your kind words! I'm glad the ebook helped you out, and good luck with your hatches.

Washington • Rep. Kevin McCarthy seemed likely Thursday to inherit defeated Rep. Eric Cantor's No. 2 House Republican job as GOP lawmakers prepared to choose their leadership lineup for the rest of the year.
But restiveness along ideological and regional lines was on full display in a wide-open race for the party's next-ranking post of majority whip.
"Looking good," Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Ill., a contender for that No. 3 job, said shortly before GOP lawmakers gathered to vote.
McCarthy, R-Calif., who has climbed quickly since arriving in Congress in 2007, seemed likely to become majority leader when House Republican lawmakers meet privately Thursday to elect their leadership for the rest of this year.

I didn't know what to expect with the pilot for Friday Night Lights, but after watching it I really should have known what to expect. The visual style is almost the same as the movie and the plot is the one you've seen before--a small town football team coming into what will be their best season yet deals with a devastating and unexpected lineup change.
But this isn't the instant miracle movie you have seen, and it makes sense that it isn't. They have alot more than two hours to pack a compelling story into, and as a fan of Varsity Blues and Friday Night Lights the movie, I find myself far more drawn to this series.
This is not something out of a fairytale. This is about real kids lives and the impact that football has upon them. (spoiler) ................ yes, the quarterback does get paralyzed (it appears) in the first episode, but this plot point is handled with care and executed flawlessly.
The backup quarterback is barely introduced to the audience in the pilot, and it really adds to the significane of the moment. This puts the viewer in the position of all the families in the stands. We don't know what to expect from this kid and we have no clue what makes him tick. Yes, we do see the look on his parents' faces when he goes in and, when it comes down to it, that's really all we need to sell the point of the underdog coming in against the odds.
What is set up well is the starting quarterback. He isn't the best speaker in the world, but the kid has heart, that much is clear. This is evident, and powerful, in one scene in particular.
Before the first game of the season the team plays a game with a pee wee league. The looks on the kids faces and the questions they ask the quarterback really get the point across that football is engrained in these kids lives. To them, it is everything--almsot religious, even. Watching this scene makes you understand the dynamic of the town. You see it in the pee wee players parents' faces--watching their little kids play with the town celebrities and, for the first time in the telling of this story, I really come to understand why football is a very legitimate passion for a town like this.
Alot of America might have looked at this high school football craze in these types of towns as something trivial--something that these people just "take too far." But the value to be found here is that these people don't grow up wishing to be a celebrity--yes, they all dream of going pro, but who has been on a sports team and never once had that dream cross their mind?
This is a self-sustaining town. They need something to look up to, and they choose to look to their teenage football players, and it means something to them. You know that once upon a time, the team we follow must have been in their pee wee gear, playing a game with the big boys and loving every minute of it. In those days, those little kids dreamt of being on the high school football team...and that's not that far fetched of a dream, especially for an American Idol generation. Its a dream worth going for and a tradition worth keeping alive. These are not a bunch of hicks taking it too far.
Its the dynamics that they set up that really reel you into this pilot. Scenes like the ones with the little kids, where one asks the star quarterback "Does God Love Football?" and he answers yes, and then prays with them. This is about more than football, this is about a town that has set up a foundation for their children to pass morality and honest values onto the next generation of children. These kids look up to the football players, and the football players know it, and handle it with a greater sense of responsibility than almost any celebrity these days.
Even though in the back of your mind you kind of know that he's doomed, they've got you liking him (so much so, I was doubting they'd hurt him within the first six episodes). This makes the scene where he's taken out really something moving, and shows the real potential of this type of direction that TV is heading. When the backup comes in, he screws up...badly. But he finds his bearings--though just barely. Its mostly shuffle passes and then one play that we can't be sure was pure talent. We leave this episode really wondering if this team has a shot in hell, even though they got out by the skin of their teeth. The win does not feel like a win, and immediately after both teams get down and pray.
There's so much to talk about with this pilot and they've set up so much good stuff that I have no doubt in my mind that this will be a monster success and NBC is clearly on a major upswing. As more and more shows like this come out and become successes, the networks might realize that their medium has the potential to pull of things that movies never could, and finally can invest accordingly. This is worthwhile entertainment, if I've ever seen it.

The Cove Herald
After his long wavy black hair was cut off, 15-year-old Steven Jaramillo held up the two 10-inch ponytails as if they were prize fish.
"It's so thick. I did not realize it was this thick," he said.
Next to him, his mother, Linda Jaramillo, admired the almost 2-foot-long braid of dark hair that had come from her head.
The mother-son pair went to Hair Artist in Copperas Cove on Tuesday to have several years of hair growth chopped off so they could donate it to Locks of Love.
Locks of Love is a nonprofit organization that takes donated hair and makes wigs for children and teens under 21 years old who have lost their hair from disease and can't afford to buy human hair wigs.
Tanja Weary, owner of the salon, wielded the scissors and said the hair should be enough to make about four wigs.
As a stylist, Weary said she sees what a good or bad haircut can do for a person's outlook and can't imagine what losing hair to cancer would be like.
"Imagine not having it. It's one thing to cut it all off, to choose to. But having it fall out because something invaded your body and took over ...," Weary said as she styled Linda's newly shoulder length hair.
"It's like your crown," Linda said.
Linda said she has grown her hair out to several feet in length several times, but never thought to donate it until her mother-in-law was struck by cancer.
"My mother-in-law passed away from cancer a few years ago. The last photo we have of her, she was completely bald," Linda said. "I never talked to her about wearing a wig or how she felt."
Linda's mother-in-law died several years ago. About three years ago, Linda said she decided to grow her hair out again and donate it to cancer patients.
"I decided, and I thought, 'I should have been giving it all along," she said. "I hope that we can bring awareness to get other people to go out and do this."
Linda convinced her son Steven to start growing his hair out, too about a year and a half ago, the summer before his freshman year of high school.
The teenager, who is involved in band and church activities, said some people gave him a hard time about the long hair, including his best friend, Bianca Ellingson.
After telling her friend to get a haircut every day since he started growing it, Ellingson, 15, came to see Steven's ponytails come off.
"I was probably the worst one," she said.
Afterward Ellingson said she was glad he did it and helped Steven pick out a new, short style.
"Some of my old friends say when they look at me from the back I look like a girl, so hopefully this will stop that," Steven said. "I'm excited, but also kinda nervous. It's a big change."
The Jaramillos planned to mail the hair to Locks of Love. Weary said in her four years owning Hair Artist, she has had two other people come in to donate to Locks of Love.
Weary said she has known the family for several years and thought the donation was a big deal because of what it could mean for people with cancer.
"You never know if a family or a friend is going to be in this position," she said.
"With this, they can stop worrying about their hair and focus on getting better."

Joaquin: Fans Make Me Feel Like Santa
By JACKIE WILLIS
December 18, 2012
If you ever run into Joaquin Phoenix, you may want to think twice before asking him for a photo. The Master actor told The Guardian that sometimes his fans make him feel like a "three-headed bullfrog."
"I think that sometimes maybe I feel like Santa Claus at a mall when a kid wants to take your picture," he said of his celebrity status. Explaining himself further, the Golden Globe nominee, 38, went into a story:
"I went to see this band and this guy came up and said: 'Oh, can I take a picture of you; I'm a real fan.' And I said: 'Look, man, I just got here, if it's OK, I don't wanna just walk in and take a picture – it'd make me feel awkward.' And he just turned and walked away, very angry at me. It didn't seem like it was someone you revere, it was more like I was some three-headed bullfrog they wanted to snap a picture of."
RELATED: Joaquin Calls Awards Season 'Utter Bulls***'
Phoenix added, "I'd rather just be a f***ing little Santa Claus than someone treated with some reverence. And by the way, that happens maybe once every 17 and a half years so it's not something that I deal with on a regular occurrence."
When asked if he had anything to say to his fans, he didn't. "There's nothing in particular I feel I want to say, and when I do I usually call one of my friends and that usually does the job. But if I have a need to, like, address maybe more than five people I'll give you a call."

Ratings for Dr. Piyush K. Jogani
Incredible knowledge and extremely caring. Diagnosed the disease right away and cured me of years of pain.
This place is nothing short of shady and criminals. Would not recommend this place to anyone. The staff is extremely rude, the doctor does not spend time explaining whats going on after the exam and procedure. He just disappears. Worst of all when you try to switch doctors, they hold your files hostage. They are nothing short of criminals.
Not competent to say the least. I wouldn't trust my worst enemies under his care.
I had pain for years...no one could find the reason. Dr Jogani found the ulcers and treated them, he gave me a new lease on life. I saw him for over a decade off and on for other aliments and only wish I could bring him across state lines. He is the absolute kindess dr. I have ever seen. The most caring. Even coming to the hospital on a sunday just to check on me.I cannot sing his praises enough.
It took me about two weeks to get an appointment but Jogani spoke to me for 8 minutes and told me to come bank in 2 months but charged me 200.00 dollars. when I tried speaking to him about the bill he told the receptionist he didnt want toe speak to me.. He should not be called a doctors! He is a crook! This was the worst experience ever!!!!
I met Dr. Jogani when I first moved to CA. This man helped to find the cause of my stomach pain, which was five years strong at that time, and had me up and running in a matter of days.

Playoff Haiku for 2016
I can't believe I'm actually posting haiku. Anyway, it's April 20th, which I know for some people that are into certain things often means they celebrate by filling up their lungs with luscious clouds of sweet-sweet ganja smoke. That picture of the Stanley Cup may have originated from the Dallas Stars' 1999 Cup celebrations, when "Dimebag" Darrell (R.I.P.) and the boys from Pantera were hanging around. That's just a guess, though. If I don't despise myself for doing this I might keep 'em coming.
Halak was wrong choice
The Caps grinders buried him
No one is surprised
Ovie was not great
He did not need to be great
Habs should Fehr the Caps
Bad penalties hurt
Any chance the Habs comeback?
Price can answer that
Wideman got a goal
But Tuukka Rask stole the show
Vanek still no go
Lots of hits were thrown
Bergeron scored the winner
Miller is alone
Two Czechs dropped the gloves
Sobotka fought Sekera
Nothing landed though
Vancouver scored first
Then L.A. followed with four
They both added more
Something you don't see
No player who wears the 'C'
But guy in the crease
Canucks' net was shits
Physicality was key

Enryu the snow rescue bot
Faced with record snowfall, Japan has come up with a novel way to rescue vehicles burried in sudden snowdrifts - a gigantic remote controlled "robot" called Enryu.
(Image: Tmsuk)
Enryu - meaning "Rescue Dragon" in Japanese - is a 5 tonne, 3.5m-tall, remote controlled mechanical monster capable of lifting 500kg in each arm. The robot
was demonstrated
retrieving cars from deep snow one of the worst hit areas, Niigata prefecture, on Thursday.
Have a look here for some
of the bot showing off his moves. Incidentally, the company that mange Enryu, Tmsuk, also sells
, a robotic household "Guard Dragon", which
we wrote about
in 2002.

Brolsma Newsletter
no. 3, January 1999
Genealogy is very popular nowadays and the Interet and e-mail play a vital role in this respect. These techniques make it rather easy to get in touch with interested people from all over the world. The Brolsma website (which can be found at www.pronouncement.com/brolsma) gave cause to new contacts, that resulted in new facts and figures concerning the family. As far as I am concerned, additions are always welcome, via Internet or via the good old mailman.
The availability of e-mail made it at least one time possible to arrange a meeting between two Brolsmas, who did not meet so far. During 1998 Kevin (200) had to go to Thailand for business. With help of the electronic mail he arranged a meeting with Albert (187), who has lived and worked in Thailand for many years.
More e-mail assisted meetings are to be expected, who knows. In this and previous newsletters and on the website you will find a number of e-mail addresses. The website includes only the adresses of those who choose to be recorded. Everyone is invited to leave his or her address on the website to encourage contacts between the Brolsmas.
Orange City
In 1869, Gosse (50), called George in the U.S., traveled with his wife and baby by covered wagon to Orange City, a city founded by Dutch settlers in the state of Iowa. The index of the West Lawn Cemetry in Orange City records the actual date of death of George Sr.: December 23, 1919. The Brolsma-book only recoreded the year, now we known the date too.
The book "The Story of Sioux County" contains a photo showing an "Early street scene in Orange City. The man with the peddle wagon is George Brolsma with Prince and Charlie, the team which he drove from Pella to Sioux County". The wagon of George was obviously moved by the horses Prince and Charlie. The book continues at another page "At the time the peddlers wagon was still an event and once a week Brolsma would drive up and display his wares taking butter and eggs in exchange for what he sold. Knowing the food to be excellent and trusting Mrs. Vos generous heart, he always arranged to call at the farm around noon so that he would be invited to take his dinner there".
The index of the West Lawn Cemetry also recoreds the death of Cora (= Jacoba) Brolsma, second wife of John H. (= Johannes Hendrik) in Orange City in the year 1960.
The one who send me these data (by e-mail) remembered that, in her childhood, she walked in the parade of the Orange City Tulip Festival. She was lucky not to have to walk on wooden shoes, but the band of Orange City had to march on wooden shoes.
Alvin Lloyd
Alvin Lloyd (151) was the youngest child of John and Cora, mentioned above. I received additional data from Erik Jan. Alvin Lloyd and his wife Henrietta Kroeze had seven children:
New Jersey
Ted Brolsma from Clifton in the state of New Jersey sent me a letter concerning his branch of the family. Orrie Nicholas, born June 15, 1923, seventh and youngest child of Sijbren Brolsma (60) married on June 23, 1954 to Frances Van Dyke. The couple, that lives in Garfield, New Jersey, had three children:
Aaltje Tromp-Brolsma (103), born March 28, 1939, deceased on February 18, in Stiens Friesland.
Born on the last day of the year 1997: Jordan Alex Brolsma, son of Wayne Brolsma (see 178) and Frances Koens. Wayne and Frances, who live in Armadale in Australia, already had a daughter Leanne Jayde in 1995.
Born on the 12th of September 1998 in Haarlem, the Netherlands: Matijn Geert Pieter Brolsma, son of Roelof Jan Brolsma (194) and Pietronella Roomer.
Glen Brolsma, son of Simon Brolsma (180) married on the 28th of February 1998 to Samantha Margaret Postmus. Glen and Samantha live in Kelmscott, West Australia.
Mark Anthony Pleiter, second son of Anna Rose Pleiter-Brolsma (181) married on April 11, 1998 to Jillian Harrison. Jilly comes from Eastham Wiral in the United Kingdom and graduated in remedial massage therapy and aromatherapy and reflexology.
In this newsletter I refer several times to numbers of biographies in the book "Brolsma 1620-1996". Those who do not possess this reference book and want to have a copy, are invited to contact me. It is also possible to ask for an adress-list of all Brolsmas in the Netherlands, the U.S.A. and Australia.
My adress is: Roodenburgerstraat 58, 2313 HL Leiden, the Netherlands. An e-mail is also possible: email@example.com

Sweet Potato Crust Quiche
Serving Size: 6
Prep Time:
Unlike my Dad's three cheese or bacon and Swiss quiche, this uses mostly egg whites, unsweetened almond milk, and tons of veggies. It calls for a thinly-sliced Yukon Gold potato crust, but I used sweet potatoes instead, which remind me of the sweetness of the crust in my Dad's recipe.
- Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.
- Spray 9-inch round baking dish with cooking spray and arrange potato slices in thin, overlapping layers, along the bottom and sides of the dish. Lightly spray with cooking spray. Bake 15-20 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove and let cool.
- Lower oven temperature to 325.
- Saute onion over medium heat until translucent, then add mushrooms and cook softened until most of the liquid has evaporated (about 10 minutes total). Remove from heat and quickly stir in spinach until wilted.
- Combine eggs and milk, whisking well. Layer spinach mixture over prepared crust, then pour on egg mixture and top with shredded cheese.
- Bake, uncovered, 20-25 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center is just wobbly. Let cool and serve.

Singapore [2]'s flickering hopes of making it to Australia for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup [3] were extinguished on Tuesday night after a 3-1 loss to Jordan [4] in the qualifiers.
Goals from Thaer Bawab, Ahmad Hayel and Yousef Rawshded also secured qualification for Al Nashama with one game left, as they clinched second place behind Oman in Group A.
Lions coach Bernd Stange opted to deploy Safuwan Baharudin in defensive midfield, with Khairul Amri and Hafiz Sujad flanking lone striker and captain Shahril Ishak.
The visitors made their intentions clear straight from kick-off as they effectively played with four forwards and pressed high up the pitch.
Singapore custodian Izwan Mahbud had to be alert to smother a few dangerous crosses, with his defenders bailing him out with two crucial blocks in the opening stages.
Bawab dragged a shot wide in the 12th minute as the Lions struggled to get out of their half, with Izwan then blocking well from Ahmad Hayel's fierce effort.
Safuwan fired a 30-yard free-kick straight at Mohamad Shatwani in the 22nd minute, with Oday Zahran forcing Izwan to to tip away his 25-yard set-piece attempt two minutes later.
The hosts threatened again from the dead ball as half-time approached. Safuwan climbed well to knock back Zulfahmi Arifin's corner to the far post, but the angle was too tight for Baihakki Khaizan to get his header on target.
But having flattered to deceive since their bright opening exchanges, Jordan then broke the deadlock two minutes before half-time.
After Shakir Hamzah had nudged Hayel on the edge of the box, a clever free-kick routine saw Bawab curl a well-placed strike into the far corner with Izwan rooted to his line.
Things quickly got worse when Baihakki was shown a straight red card 60 seconds later for allegedly hitting Mossab Al-Laham in an off the ball incident.
There was still time for Zulfahmi to put yet another dangerous delivery into the box as Shahril flicked the ball on for Safuwan at the far post, with Khairul Amri failing to convert the resulting cross-shot.
A chorus of boos serenaded referee Tan Hai at the half-time whistle, who had to be led to another exit after Singapore coaches Lee Bee Seng and Nazri Nasir briefly confronted him. The latter was subsequently banished to the stands for the second half.
Hariss Harun dropped back to fill the void in central defence after the break, as the Lions went close to equalising five minutes into the half.
Shahril swung a free-kick to the far post for Shakir, whose knockdown was miscued by Safuwan. The ball bounced free for Afiq to shoot on the turn, with the strike fizzing past the post.
Shatwani was soon scrambling across his goal again, as Zulfahmi's long-range grounder went just wide.
But poor defending allowed Jordan to double their advantage in the 59th minute. Left with all the time and space in the box, Hayel easily headed in Al-Laham's corner from close range.
Shakir did superbly to prevent a third when he hacked Bawab's shot off the line after the latter had rounded Izwan, with Jordan going down to 10 men soon after as Hayel copped a needless second yellow for tripping Safuwan.
The home side were thrown an unexpected lifeline on 84 minutes when Baha Abdel-Rahman was harshly adjudged to have blocked Safuwan's cross with his arm. Amri had no trouble sending Shatwani the wrong way from the spot for his second goal of the qualifiers.
The Jalan Besar crowd encouraged the hosts forward for an equaliser, but it was Jordan who sealed victory inside the four minutes of added time.
Substitute Rawshded clinically finished past Izwan after Rajaei Hasan sent him clear, leaving Singapore with nothing to show for despite a determined performance on the night.

Robert Pattinson Blames Kristen Stewart's Rape-Comment Controversy on the Media
Hey, remember how Kristen Stewart compared being photographed by the paparazzi to being raped? And then several women's groups were all like, "Well, that seems a tad inappropriate"? And then even Kristen herself realized the error of her words?
Yeah, well Stewart's Twilight co-star and rumored boyfriend, Robert Pattinson, has a different take on the whole brouhaha.
In a recent interview, R-Pattz asserted that it's the mean old blogosphere's fault that people got so upset by K-Stew's choice of words. Yeah, really.
According to Pattinson,
"None of those associations came out and gave a statement [criticizing Kristen] without being called upon by the media first—who were doing it specifically to get hits on their websites. That whole system of Internet journalists, where no one is called to account, is almost entirely about hate. All these people get away with doing it because they have no responsibility to anyone. All they need is to get a salacious headline and people click on it, because it's easy."
Hmm; we suppose that Rob gets points for gallantry for sticking by his lady, but as long as he's talking accountability, doesn't he think that the primary responsibility resides with K-Stew for making the comparison in the first place?
Hit us up in the comments section and share your thoughts: Do you think Stewart's "rape" comments were offensive, or are people making a big stink out of nothing?

Opportunity Knocks! The Value of Internships
By Accountemps
Internships provide new professionals an opportunity to launch their careers. By exposing yourself to real-life work situations and projects in your area of interest, you can add relevant skills and experience to your budding resume – and make yourself more marketable to employers.
The key to getting the most out of an internship is identifying the goals you want to achieve. Do you hope to learn about a specific specialty or gain exposure to several different areas, for example, or do you want to get your foot in the door with a particular firm or industry? By organizing your wish list of accomplishments around your future career objectives, you can start on the right foot.
Here are a few additional tips for getting the most out of an internship:
- Network with staff. Networking with others in your field allows you to make important contacts that could serve you well in the future. You never know who you'll meet that might have hiring authority or valuable connections down the road.
- Maximize your participation. Make sure you send the message you are interested and ready to work. Speak up in meetings and let your supervisor know when you think you can be of particular value to a project.
- Lend a helping hand. To make a positive impression, take the initiative to help others when your workload is light. The more you do, the more you can learn and add to your list of job experiences.

Most people would define work as something that is hard to do and creativity as something fun. But when we are open to the sacred guidance that is abundant in the universe, work and creativity become the same thing. The most creative and inspiring work can be accomplished when we are open to all possibilities.
Being open to infinite possibilities means letting inspiration flow freely — and not blocking that flow with thoughts of what we want to happen or what other people might think of what we are doing.
Children can learn to feel for the right direction within and to recognize that every impulse is not the right one simply because it is there. Every time we remember to put our highest self in charge, the more inner joy and freedom we experience.

The cabbage white traveled from Europe to Quebec, Canada
in 1860 on cargo ships. It is now one of the most widespread
and common butterflies in North America.
Look for cabbage white butterflies and their larvae spring
through summer, beginning in March. The butterfly is small
and white, about 1¾ inches to 2¼ inches from wingtip
to wingtip. The fore
wing has a black tip, with one spot in male and two
spots in females. The undersides of the wings are yellow-green
or gray-green.
The butterfly has a bouncing, fluttery, or floating
flight and often feeds on the nectar of garden flowers.
The caterpillar (larval
stage of the butterfly) is about 1 inch long. It is fuzzy
and green with a broken yellow line on each side and a
yellow line on its back. It responds sluggishly if disturbed.
Look for eggs and caterpillars on cabbage or broccoli
Pieris rapae is found almost everywhere: cities,
suburbs, gardens, roadsides, marshes, and open, weedy
emerge as early as March and lay eggs on the undersides
of leaves. The yellow eggs are rocket-shaped and ridged.
They hatch in three to seven days. The caterpillar feeds
on its host plant for two weeks before attaching to
a leaf and pupating
in a ¾-inch pale-green chrysalis.
The butterfly emerges in one to two weeks. Five generations
of butterflies are produced each growing season.
• Checkered white (Pontia protodice)—checkered
front wing; underside of hind wing plain white or patterned.
• Mustard white (Pieris napi)—completely
white with no spots; veins outlined in gray or green visible
on underside of hind wing.
• West Virginia white (Pieris virginiensis)—rounded
fore wing; hind-wing veins on underside outlined in brown
or gray-brown.

In Reply to: NAD C541i vs. Music Hall CD 25 posted by Mr Blue Sky on May 26, 2003 at 17:38:06:
I prefer the NAD C541i. The Music Hall sounds nice, but its coloration is not to my taste. I observed that the Music Hall CD 25 can impose a slight richness and cloudy sheen in its sonic presentation that might make it sound better with some recordings or to some ears. The NAD C541i sounds remarkably neutral and clear to me; I think it yields more insight into the music that is (and is not) on the CD and has been a pleasure to listen to.
"Build quality", I guess, is in the eye of the beholder. Underneath the Music Hall's thicker and heavier shiney faceplate, the quality of its parts and mechanics seem sufficient, but are certainly not better than the NAD's. Less importantly, I prefer the NAD's compact remote control to the Music Hall's original retro-sci-fi remote (I just read somewhere that Music Hall now supplies more conventional remotes with more recently-manufactured CD 25's).
The widely-reported reliability and tracking problems in many of NAD's previous CD players, especially with the C540 and C520, have been virtually eliminated in the "i" series ("i" apparently means "improved"). Also, while the CD 25 has a 1-year warrantee, the C541i has a 2-year warrantee.
I am more enthusiastic about the value offered by Music Hall's turntables.
Follow Ups:
I'm afraid I may have to agree with you. Although I find NAD to be a repulsive company for a variety of reasons, the C541i seems to be a bit more open and punchy than the Music Hall CD 25. The NAD bothers me a little bit in the highs, displaying a tad of harshness and sibilance, but it seems to have a tad more detail, clarity, speed, and space than the Music Hall. Although the CD 25 does have a nice smooth quality to it, it is the wrong kind of smooth. I find that the player has a tendancy to blur basslines, smear dynamics, soften attacks, haze vocals and bring them forward in the mix, and muddle depth. That said, I still think the CD 25 would be a better match for less expensive or bright speakers such as those with metal dome tweeters and is still very much a likeable, good sounding player. I'm still doing my extensive comparison between the two players, but these are my thoughts at this point. One downside of the NAD is that despite it's strong points, it still sounds cheap to me, though I can't explain exactly why. All of this said, the differences are very minimal between these two players. It is not night and day. It's simply a matter of which sound you prefer. Just so I can put your comments into perspective, may I ask what equiment you are using in addition to your C541i??

Brain-Based Spiritual Practices
Todd Murphy
Return Home
At present, we only have three "meditations" which are based only on recent discoveries in neuroscience. All of them are similar to visualizations, and all rely on the brains basic division into left and right hemispheres.
Sensing a Presence
The first, and more extensively tested, comes from from the experience of the Sensed Presence.
The sensed presence is that feeling that there is some one or some living thing close to you, but when you turn to look, you don't find anybody there. There are several variations on the theme. In one, the person feels that the 'presence' is a being they know, like a deity they pray to, the spirit of a person they have known who has died, or a spiritual teacher.
This experience only occurs when a person is in an altered state of consciousness. To facilitate the state, these exercises begin with paying attention to the breath.
After the person has their attention drawn there, they are asked to imagine that they are experiencing a presence, and that the feeling is emanating from a point behind them, and to their left.
The sensed presence is an 'amygdala' experience. This only means that when a person is having this experience, their amygdala will be found to be either the most excited structure in their brain, or one of the most excited.
Conversely, if a person has their amygdala stimulated, they are very likely to have a sensed presence experience. This has actually happened in several clinical and experimental settings.
If a person has a sensed presence experience, and their left amygdala is more active then the one on the right, the experience is probably going to be pleasant [although some people have this reversed, similar to left-handedness]. If the right amygdala is most active, then the experience is probably going to be unpleasant. Pleasant means anything from feeling mildly safe to being in complete ecstasy. Unpleasant means anything from mildly apprehensive to a feeling of impending doom.
When research subjects were asked to do this exercise, the most common sensation it created was a feeling of being safe and protected. The ones do were most prone to altered state experiences were also most likely to confabulate a visual image of the presence they were imagining.
Some of the images that appeared were angels, monks in hooded robes, knights on horseback in shining armor, spirit familiars, deities, aliens, and a variety of other images.
When people who have had near-death experiences do this practice, they re-experience fragments of their NDEs.
Most subjects experienced unpleasant feelings when they imagined a presence on the right side. A few experienced positive feelings on both sides. These latter individuals were all involved in regular, ongoing spiritual practices. This area of research is fairly new ground, but there is precedent in a study done in which students were asked to imagine holding a baby. Afterwards, they were asked what side of their bodies they imagined. 72% of the women, and 65% of the men had preferred their left side. (Nakamichi, 1995)
The Open Space exercise
The second neuro meditation, if we can call it that, is based on the experience of infinite space. This experience, which we can call the void, occurs in NDEs, hallucinogenic drug experiences, temporal lobe epilepsy, and a variety of other contexts. Sometimes it comes as an experience of infinite dark space that is more felt than seen. Other times it comes as a vision of a field of stars. Most often, It manifests as a seemingly unending void with a single point of light. This state has also been called 'the source', because while a person is experiencing it, they can encounter a wide variety of imagery.
One very influential Buddhist text claims that if an individual acquires the ability to 1) enter this state at will, 2) temporarily suppress the appearance of involuntarily appearing visual imagery, and 3) elicit specific, chosen, visualizations, then the content of those visualizations will become veridical ('real'). This, we are told, is basis of all procedures for doing miracles. Its not important, at present, to consider whether or not the teaching might be an artifact of an actual neural process. The point here is that the experience of an infinite space has a special significance, just like the experience of sacred presences, such as angels, spirit familiars, or God.
The imagined space meditation begins with paying attention to the breath.
The person then imagines a wall located behind them, and to their left side. On the other (right) side, there is nothing but endless space. One subject felt fear at the thought of imagining so much space. The person holds the imagination for as long as they can. That's the entire technique.
In normal subjects, imagining space on the right side has been much more pleasant than on the left, a result that corroborates the observation that stimulation of the hippocampus through complex magnetic signals on the right is more pleasant than on the left, a result that was a bit perplexing at first, as the right side of the limbic system is more often associated with negative affect. My current operating hypothesis is that the right amygdala is specialized for negative affect with the right hippocampus specialized for positive cognitive styles. This agrees with the evidence provided by participants in the Shakti Project.
There is a differences between the typical effects of each method.
The imagined space meditation tends to elicit a more cognitive response. On the positive side (usually the right) the feeling is one of being engaged, involved, interested, or excited. On the negative side, it tends to create boredom, feeling 'dull', or a sense of being enervated. All these words refer more to conscious mental processes, such as linguistic thought.
The sensed presence meditation has a much more emotional feeling to it. On the positive side, it creates feelings of safety, of being comforted, protected. It also creates feeling of well-being, from a quiet sense of happiness to (in one case) 'joy so strong I thought it was going to kill me'
The sensed presence meditation has been administered in formal settings to about 40 people (massage practitioners, Near-Death Experiencers, meditators) as part of various ongoing projects. The imagined space meditation is much newer, and has been administered to only six people as of this time of writing.
These two techniques are important research tools in my work. The sensed presence technique appears to be amygdalar in it effects, while the imagined space technique seems to be hippocampal. Together, they have the potential to look into the limbic system in altogether new, and non-intrusive ways.
There is another technique I have found, but its effects are quite different. Its a visual technique, but it seems to access hippocampal activity, at least that's what the phenomenology implies. I found it introspectively, and I'm still trying to figure out how it works.
What you do is first close your eyes and be aware of your breathing. Then look into the darkness behind your eyelids. Orient your eyes towards the point directly in front of you. At the same time, place your visual attention on a point above it. To do it you will have to separate the direction of your visual attention form the direction of your eyes. One person found that it created a large amount of visual imagery in just a few seconds. Another found themselves disappearing, felt shocked at this and pulled themselves out of the experience.
One last point to mention. All of the experiences I have mentioned her happened within one minute of beginning the practice the first time. Those who tried them again on their own often found that later experiences were different. A few of the research subjects have later reported that the Sensed Presence technique became a part of their regular spiritual practice.
There is also another point to add concerning brain anatomy.
These techniques are based on the imagination. As such, their effects on the brain's activity is largely going to be confined to the surface structures of the temporal lobes. The deeper, limbic, structures would be more implicated in hallucinatory experiences than imaginative ones.
The "Divided Body"
This exercise consists of using your imagination to mentally divide your body in two - left and right sides.
Imagine a vertical line that runs through your nose, your navel, and the length of the torso. Try to 'feel' each side of your body separately. You should notice that each side seems to have a different feel to it. Perhaps one might call it an inner texture. Choose the side that feels best to you. One side will almost certainly feel more relaxed than the other.
Imagine that your breath has the power to pump the texture of the side that feels best to the other side. As you exhale, imagine that your breath is pushing the feeling of relaxation from the more relaxed side into the the less relaxed side.
You should find that your sense of your body has changed and that your mood will have improved, too.
The hypothesis I use to explain this is that the imagination selectively activates the Caudate Nucleus, a structure that integrates your emotional state with your body's arousal level, and that works a bit differently on the two sides of your body. It can be quite pleasant for some people. This is a newer addition to these techniques, and your e-mail comments will be appreciated.

Which do you prefer...
A. Supermoon?
as seen from my bedroom window at 11pm...
wait... that's not very clear... let's focus a bit more... better, but really - camera doesn't do it justice!
B. Superbebe (aka, Superstar)?
as seen just before yesterday's mustard art session...
(as cute as he is, the camera really doesn't do him justice either!!!)
Granted, I like full moons (as well as the werewolves they bring). I like special full moons, like last night's supermoon (also full worm moon - cool name, eh?) But honestly... to have to choose between these two? Seems like a no brainer to me!!!
Lots of love,

CPS workers face tampering charges in Greenville murder case
One current and two former Child Protective Services investigators were being held by Hunt County authorities on Tuesday on charges of tampering with evidence. The arrests are reportedly related to the case of Alicia Moore, a Greenville teenager who was murdered after walking off her school bus last year.
Details of the allegations have not been disclosed. The indictments against the workers are sealed. Law enforcement officials in Hunt County either declined to comment or didn't respond to messages.
But District Attorney Noble Walker told the Greenville Herald Banner that the arrests were "in relation to the Alicia Moore case," though not to her murder.
The three workers arrested were Laura Marsh Ard, 60; Rebekah Lynn Ross, 34; and Natalie Ausbie Reynolds, 34. Reynolds is supervisor for the state agency and is based in the Dallas office. Ard and Ross were both investigators and recently left the agency.
Ard retired in March after a 21-year career. Ross resigned on July 31.
CPS officials said they are working to find out more about the case.
"We just learned about this today, and we don't have any information about what is in those indictments," said spokesman Patrick Crimmins.
All three women have been charged with tampering with physical evidence. Reynolds and Ross have also been charged with official oppression, a charge that can be levied against a public servant who unlawfully mistreats or arrests someone, denies a person his rights or sexually harasses someone.
Moore, who was 16, disappeared on Nov. 2 sometime after she walked off her school bus in a Greenville neighborhood. Her nude body was found days later inside a wicker trunk in Hunt County. Her uncle, Michael Vincent Moore, was arrested in May and charged with the murder. Court documents indicate that DNA evidence implicated him in the crime.
A few months before her murder, another man was accused of sexually assaulting her. That man, 49-year-old Terry Dwayne Ramsire, remains in the Hunt County Jail on multiple charges of indecency with a child.
