WE'RE more like Southend Hospital than Southend United at the moment and it's certainly not an ideal situation to be in.
The list continues to get longer with Marc Laird and Caolan Lavery both picking up hamstring injuries during Tuesday night's defeat to Cheltenham Town.
And Kevan Hurst had to miss training yesterday with a viral infection.
We're not sure at this stage if Kev is going to be available or not.
But knowing our luck at the moment he will take a while to recover and we'll be short of another influential player.
We're obviously looking to try to get to the bottom of why we have picked up such a large number of injuries but I would say it was down to the demanding schedule we've had.
We've had two good cup runs which has added additional games to our league campaign which this year ends in April.
I've said before how I find the change in the schedule crazy and playing Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday has resulted in these large number of injuries.
Not having a reserve team doesn't help either because players suddenly come in from not having played to playing all the time and it's not a surprise when they then break down.
The reserve league ending like it did at the end of last season makes no sense to me because you want your players on the fringes of things to still be playing to maintain their sharpness.
It's very odd and something which I think needs to be looked at again.
With so many players being out we have explored the possibility of bringing someone in on loan because there are two areas of the team where we are crying out for reinforcements.
But when you bring in a loan signing you need them to play and we could have some of our injured players back within a week or two.
We therefore have to weigh up what the best option will be and have a real think about things.
However, at the forefront of our minds at the moment is tomorrow's game against Northampton Town and that will be a very hard game.
They're a strong side with a good manager and they play to their strengths which makes them tough to beat.
We're going to have a real go though and battle on with the players we do still have available.
MATCH fixing has been hitting the headlines again in the last week or so and more of these cases seem to be cropping up now.
But it's nothing new and one of the biggest nights of my playing career was ruined by a referee taking a bribe.
I was part of the Dundee United side which beat Roma 2-0 in the first leg of the European Cup semi-finals in 1984 but we lost the second leg 3-0, courtesy of some very strange refereeing decisions.
If we had been 4-0 from the first leg I'm sure the second leg would've been 5-0 to them and all thought it was weird at the time.
It therefore wasn't much of a surprise when it later emerged that one of the Roma directors revealed the club had given the referee a bung to sway the match in the favour.
But what I cannot believe and find unfair is that Roma have been allowed to keep their runners up medals and nothing has been done for Dundee United.


text: Tolls, fees eyed for W.Va. roads By Phil Kabler September 4, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Tolls and increased motor vehicle fees -- but no tax increases -- would pay for West Virginia road construction, under proposals offered Wednesday by the governor's Blue Ribbon Commission on Highways.The centerpiece of the proposals is legislation to authorize the state Parkways Authority to issue $1 billion in road bonds, to be financed by continuing and increasing tolls on the West Virginia Turnpike.Jason Pizatella, chief counsel to Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and chairman of the commission, noted that out-of-state vehicles account for 76 percent of the tolls collected on the Turnpike."Essentially, what we have here is out-of-state drivers subsidizing one of our most heavily traveled highways," he said.Modeled after a recent $1.5 billion bond issue by the Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission, the plan would keep tolls on the Turnpike for another 30 years and would provide a much-needed infusion of road-building funds, Pizatella said.While the plan ultimately would require Parkways to increase tolls on the Turnpike, the proposal calls for freezing rates for West Virginia E-ZPass users for five years."The state would be able to complete road projects now that, otherwise, would not be completed for 20 years or more," Pizatella said, adding, "All of this would be accomplished without one single penny of higher taxes."Through nine public hearings around the state this summer and a survey of nearly 1,400 residents, Pizatella said, the commission got a clear message that West Virginians oppose any increases in gas taxes, motor vehicle privilege taxes or the consumer sales tax to fund work on state roads. "Given the economic climate we're in," he said, "we just didn't think it was appropriate."Earlier, commission member Jan Vineyard, chairwoman of the legislative and public-outreach subcommittee, noted that proposed tax increases came in as the three least-favorable options for road funding in the survey.Conversely, 78 percent of those polled favored keeping tolls on the West Virginia Turnpike. Vineyard, president of the West Virginia Oil Marketers and Grocers Association, noted that support was strong even at public hearings in Beckley and Princeton."We expected to see that in the Fairmont area, the Wheeling area, but we were certainly surprised to see that in Southern West Virginia," she said of support for the Turnpike tolls.The commission, created by Tomblin in August 2012, also is proposing about $103 million a year in new road funding, primarily by increasing a variety of Division of Motor Vehicles fees. Those increases would raise about $77.4 million a year, and would include a $20 increase in vehicle registration fees (which would raise $26 million), a $35 increase in vehicle titles ($21 million), and a $5 a year increase in driver's license fees ($6.5 million).In 2011, legislators passed a bill that would have increased DMV fees for the first time in nearly 40 years and raised $40 million for the state Road Fund. Tomblin, then acting governor, vetoed that bill. Commissioners also recommended creating a $200-a-year fee on alternative-fuel vehicles, and a $100 annual fee on gas/electric hybrid vehicles.Also, the commission proposed dedicating sales tax collections on purchases of auto parts, services or repairs to the state Road Fund, to generate about $25 million a year.However, commission members Joe Deneault and Bob Orders pointed out that the funding proposals still fall far short of the $1.3 billion a year of additional funding that consultants said is needed to complete and maintain all state highway projects."We've in no way found all the funding we need to solve all the problems," Orders said."As a state of 1.8 million people . . . it is very difficult, if not impossible, to reach that funding level," Pizatella responded.Commissioners rejected amendments to the plan to increase the privilege tax on vehicle purchases from 5 percent to 6 percent and to increase the state sales tax from 6 percent to 7 percent, with the additional revenue dedicated to the Road Fund. Commissioners did approve studying various options for highway funding in the future, including the possibility of replacing the gas tax with a vehicle-miles-traveled tax, as well as dedicating a portion of a proposed Marcellus Shale natural gas Future Fund to state roads.During the more than three-hour-long meeting, commissioners adopted most of the recommendations that they will submit to the governor later this month. However, they delayed voting on the $1 billion Parkways bond proposal until the commission's Sept. 19 meeting, to allow themselves time to study the plan in detail.Ultimately, Pizatella said, it will be up to Tomblin to determine which proposals will be presented to the Legislature in January.The 31-member commission includes representatives of business, labor, tourism, building contractors, the academic community, as well as legislators and members of the Tomblin administration.Reach Phil Kabler at email@example.com or 304-348-1220.

Spring has sprung and it is my favorite time of the year! I love the trees, the grass, and flowers. I don't even mind the pollen, well, not much anyway. Of course, one of my favorite things about this time of year is the Easter candy. I have always been partial to the Cadbury bunny! After all, who can resist a cute little fluffy bunny that lays chocolate eggs?
Apparently, I am not the only one. Each year thousands children awaken on Easter morning delighted to find furry or fuzzy little creatures in their Easter baskets. However children, as we all know, have very short attention spans and by May animal shelters across the country are overrun with abandoned Easter Bunnies, fuzzy little baby chicks, and tiny ducklings. Even worse, many animals are simply turned loose to fend for themselves. In fact, our own rabbits right here at the Oakland Zoo, were domestic pets that had been turned loose at a local college and started breeding, quickly overpopulating the small area and pushing out local wildlife. Five volunteers from the Oakland Animal Services spent all summer catching the rabbits to bring them to get medical care.
These rabbits were lucky, they wound up here at the zoo where they get all the food, water, fresh grass and chew toys they want. But, I will never forget the scene at the animal shelter the first day that I went to meet our potential rabbits. The room at the shelter was stacked to the ceiling with rabbit cages, all of them full. There was also a small makeshift play area set up in the middle of the room that was being used to house more rabbits, and then I discovered that even more rabbits were being housed in foster homes! I went to the animal shelter intending to adopt 5 rabbits, I left with 10. I wish I had been able to provide homes for more of them, but sadly, we do have limited space. I truly admire the people at the shelter who work so hard to care for these abandoned and neglected animals.
Another great organization that cares for abandoned bunnies is the House Rabbit Society (HRS). Last year, HRS began their "Make Mine Chocolate" campaign which teaches people about responsible pet ownership and making good choices. They highlight the special needs of these fragile little creatures and educate people about the hazards of "casual" pet acquisition. The truth is that rabbits are delicate little beings that require time, space and money to properly care for them. Rabbits often have a lifespan of 10 years, and it is irresponsible to acquire a pet unless you plan to make a commitment for the entire life time of the animal. They also need attention, regular exercise and a balanced diet, just like any other pet. Rabbits can be great companions, but it is a responsibility that should not be taken lightly.
I still love the Cadbury bunny! This year, I will be thrilled to "Make Mine Chocolate!"

Shark teeth didn't evolve, according to a report in New Scientist 18 February 2006, p17. Chuck Ciampaglio of Wright State University, Ohio has studied the teeth of marine predators, including sharks, reptiles and mammals "from the past 100 million years". After measuring overall size, cross section, serrations and number of cusps he classified them into "five designs, with distinct functions". He found that marine reptiles had "thick pointed conical teeth able to puncture and crush prey" and sharks that lived at the same time had "a variety of tooth types, such as small teeth with low crowns good for clutching, or teeth suited to grinding open hard shelled prey." Marine mammals had either pointed conical teeth or "slicing and gouging teeth" like sharks. As marine reptiles are believed to have died out before marine mammals evolved, an ecological niche for animals with pointed conical teeth was left empty for 15 million years, but sharks did not evolve such teeth even though they continued to inhabit the seas after the reptiles died out.
Editorial Comment: Evolutionists often claim that new types of life forms evolved because others had become extinct and left vacant environmental niches, e.g. extinction of the dinosaurs supposedly allowed primitive mammals to proliferate and evolve into the many different types of mammals that now live on earth. However, for a living creature to develop a new characteristic it needs new genetic information. An empty ecological niche will not provide this.
In fact, the fossil record of sharks fits Biblical history. The oldest sharks in the evolutionist fossil collection were found in geologic record as distinct, fully formed animals, clearly identifiable as sharks. Since then some have died out and many have shrunk, and all survivors have produced their own kind. This is exactly what you would predict if sharks were created as separate kinds and have been affected by the degeneration of the world that has occurred because of human rebellion and God's judgement.

It must be the silly season. How else can you explain a beer named Minimum Chips which landed on my doorstep recently? Matilda Bay's new ''hand cut'' golden ale arrives in time to accompany all things summery - sun, surf, sand and fish and chips.
It's a cute idea and while the name is frivolous, the beer has some slightly serious claims for our attention during the holiday period. A whiff of perfumed hop aroma and a pleasant after-bitterness help lift it above the logjam of ho-hum lagers out there on bottle-shop shelves. And you've got to love a beer that aspires only to wash down a couple of dollars' worth of chips at the beach.
Whether Matilda Bay really needs another golden lager in its permanent range is debatable - it already has the malty Big Helga and the well-balanced Bohemian Pilsner. Minimum Chips strikes me as more likely to lure a mainstream beer consumer across the divide, rather than win over a confirmed craft beer drinker.
And therein lies the challenge for those looking for a gap in the beer market. There's no shortage of hopped-up, high-alcohol, one-off craft brews out there, but a well-balanced, flavoursome number that can be enjoyed over a session is every beer marketer's holy grail.
Which is why I'd be happy to find some Moo Brew Belgo under the Christmas tree or in my fridge over summer. With its delicate hop flavour and spicy dryness, Belgo is both approachable for the uninitiated and rewarding for those in the know. While it's inspired by new-world Belgian ales coming out of the US, it has few peers as a beer style in Australia.
Byron Bay outfit Stone & Wood released a pair of new seasonal brews in 2012 - the gentle, red-hued Jasper Ale in midwinter, and Garden Ale, rolled out for summer. The latter has ''session beer'' written all over it, with mid-strength potency (3.8 per cent) and recommended as ''best enjoyed in your favourite beer garden''. The presence of juniper berries is hard to detect but this malty amber ale packs a surprising depth of flavour.
The take-home glass flagon or ''growler'' is now a must-have item for serious craft beer buffs - to be filled at specialist beer outlets such as Warners at the Bay, at Lake Macquarie, or local breweries such as Young Henry's, which fired up in Newtown earlier this year. Just under two litres of craft beer for as little as $15 is great value, and the recyclable container will appeal to closet greenies everywhere. (Note to loved ones: a growler of Young Henry's Real Ale, thanks.)
Of course, we'll need something to chase down the Christmas pud and all the other sweet goodies. Old Hobart Distillery is one of our newest whisky distilleries and its Overeem whisky range won enough awards in 2012 to suggest it's already one of our best. (A bottle of Overeem cask-strength sherry cask, thanks, Santa.)

Housing Justice in the Nation's Capital: Strategies to Preserve Homes and Neighborhoods During the Foreclosure Crisis
Wednesday, March 16, 2011
American University Washington College of Law, Room 603
4801 Massachusetts Avenue, NW, Washington, DC
Foreclosures strip families of shelter and destabilize neighborhoods. In Washington DC, these life-altering transactions occur without judicial oversight. As lenders rush to process a glut of delinquent mortgages, foreclosures often proceed without attention to accuracy of the alleged debt or proof of identity of the lien holder. The few programs designed to mitigate foreclosure have achieved little of their intended effect. This workshop will feature a cross-disciplinary exchange of ideas for confronting the foreclosure crisis within DC. Through a series of "fish bowl" panels, speakers will present strategies: use of media and narrative, litigation, mediation, community organizing, outreach and research. All attendees will participate in brainstorming plans for "next steps".
Presented by the Community and Economic Development Law Clinic, the Disability Rights Law Clinic, and the General Practice Clinic

The Many Meanings of Famine
According to the United Nations, Somalia is no longer experiencing a famine. While we can and should cheer this news, to understand what it actually means we must examine how the UN defines famine—and how Somalia's new status relates to our greater concern for the health of its people.
So, how does the UN decide whether to declare a famine in a country or region? There are three essential conditions:
- 20% of households face extreme food shortages
- Over 30% of the population are acutely malnourished
- Every day, hunger causes two out of every 10,000 people to die
Despite the relative opacity of some of these terms (a helpful glossary can be found here), it's not difficult—or wrong—to conclude that conditions need to be truly horrific before the UN definition of famine is met. For example, an acute malnutrition rate of 30% means that three out of every ten people is right on the verge of starving to death.
Clearly, an acute malnutrition rate of, say, 28% would very much be a crisis. It just wouldn't qualify as a famine according to the UN's technical definition.
We should bear this in mind when we consider Somalia. While recent harvests have been encouraging, thanks to plentiful rains late last year, there are still many communities where the acute malnutrition rate remains unacceptably high.
"The country is still in an extremely fragile state with at least 2.34 million people in need of life-saving assistance. The ongoing food crisis remains one of the most severe emergencies...in the world today,"
—Jens Opperman, Director of Operations, ACF-United Kingdom
Indeed, a severe food crisis, would it be qualified as a famine or not, has massive, long-term impacts beyond the deaths and disabilities it causes. In countries like Somalia, where the majority of people earn money by farming or herding, famine brings poverty as well as hunger. Families lose entire harvests. Herds of cattle or sheep—as good as money—die in dry pastures. In a vicious cycle, very high levels of food insecurity can persist long after a famine is officially over, populations are unable to store enough food to overcome the next drought, and deadly malnutrition returns.
It's tragic, but it doesn't have to be this way. Action Against Hunger's food security and water and sanitation activities complement our nutrition programs that save lives in emergencies like in Somalia. The goal is to break the cycle of drought, famine, and poverty by providing communities with the tools they need to produce more food more efficiently, store it for longer periods, and revitalize local markets that ultimately raise standards of living.
That being said, there's still a long way to go in Somalia. Al-Shabaab, a militant Islamist group, retains control over vast areas of the country and has regularly prohibited humanitarian agencies from accessing populations in need. On the other hand, the Transitional Federal Government that controls the capital Mogadishu and a tiny part of the Somali territory is unable to insure security for humanitarian workers or victims of robbery, kidnappings, and murders. The international community will have to strengthen its commitment to resolving the conflict in Somalia before its people can hope to materially improve their lives.
Tell Us What You Think
Is the UN's definition of famine sufficient? How would you change it?

Ruth Lake 35 percent less full than usual
HUMBOLDT COUNTY- The North Coast is still dry. At Ruth Lake, the location of a major water supply, officials say levels are below normal.
Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District uses Ruth Lake and Mad River to serve its seven municipalities. They are Eureka, Arcata, Blue Lake, Glendale, Fieldbrook, McKinleyville, and the greater Humboldt area. At this time, Ruth Lake is 35 percent less full than normal, at 55 percent.
"Normally when you drive past you can see all of the different docks and stuff floating on the surface of the water. At this point, they're all down the edge of the beach," said Jackelyn Jackson, who lives in Ruth.
Officials say the lake is getting lower at a rate of almost a twentieth of an inch per day.
Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District officials say that usually this time of year the level of the lake is within a few feet of the spillway of R.W. Matthews Dam. But now, the lake is currently about 25 feet lower than the spillway.
Officials say there is enough water in Ruth Lake to supply the seven municipalities for more than a year. And while there is no mandatory water conservation action at this time, Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District officials still ask you to cut back on water usage.
"Make sure the dishwasher is full before you run it. Maybe a slightly shorter shower. Make sure your laundry is full before you run it," said Carol Rische, the General Manager of Humboldt Bay Municipal Water District.
While water officials say a couple significant storms could still fill Ruth Lake, but a mandatory conservation action could be announced this spring if rainfall doesn't come.
"We're going to take a very close look at where we are, consider 'Do we get any of this late season re-charge like we typically get?' and then forecast out the rest of the summer, even forecast out the beginning of next year to make that determination," said Rische.
Until then, and always, officials say you should use your water efficiently and wisely.
"Save Our Water" is a statewide campaign which provides ideas, techniques and information about conserving water.

MUDDIED rugby boots that have rucked and mauled their way through York's pitches could be given a new lease of life - thanks to a city expat working in Africa.
Robert Powell, 51, is urging parents and young players in York to help him in his work with teenage teams in Uganda, by donating boots that they have outgrown.
Mr Powell, who grew up in Poppleton and attended Nunthorpe Grammar School, has been working in Africa with the United Nations since 2001 and has been in Uganda since 2009.
He was encouraged out of rugby retirement after losing a golf bet, and now voluntarily coaches teams in Entebbe, on the shores of Lake Victoria, south of the capital Kampala.
Earlier this year, he ran an appeal with Poppleton Junior Football Club and collected 24 pairs of second-hand boots, along with strips from his brother's club in Nottingham, and he now hopes players elsewhere in York will help kit out the rest of his club.
He said: "I will be back in York in September, again on leave, with a scheduled return back to Africa on 24th.
"Since many parents will be buying new boots for their boys and girls there may be an opportunity for me to get hold of the old pairs."
He said Entebbe Rugby Club is composed of five sides, a Local Union team known as the Mongers; two ladies/girls teams known as the Sharks, consisting of players from various local orphanages and primary schools; the Whales, a recently-formed under-19s men's team; and a tag rugby team from local school children who train and play on Saturday and Sunday mornings.
The teams all use a shared football pitch with Entebbe Secondary School and a recent training session had more than 35 boys and men, and more than 20 girls on the pitch at once.
Mr Powell left York in 1983 to join the military and served for eight years before spending ten years working around the world on logistics contracts in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Russia, before joining the UN.
He married in York in 2003 and returns to the city every nine months to see his parents He stopped playing rugby nine years ago but had taken up coaching while in the Army. He said: "Rugby in Uganda is a developing game which suffers from chronic underfunding from the International Rugby Board and Confederation of African Rugby, such that at grass roots level we have to rely on donations, handouts and sponsorship for even the most basic items such as Rugby Balls and boots for players."

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Fresh off the 2011 campaign, Saint Leo softball coach John Conway has announced the signing of three incoming freshman, as McKenzie Burns, Kaitlyn Diaz, and Ashley Ehlers have signed National Letters of Intent to play softball at Saint Leo University beginning in the fall of 2011.
In total, Saint Leo has signed seven to National Letters of Intent including, Victoria Cooper, Angela Kafalas, Torrie Weindorf, and Kelsey LaNeave, all of whom will be highlighted over the coming days. Making up the class are five infielders, one pitcher, and one outfielder. In addition, six of the seven players hail from the central Florida region.
"I am very excited for this incoming class to take the field and begin play. They will bring energy and a sense of excitement to the game as well as the teach-ability that a coach covets. Each presenting a team-first mentality, I fully expect each of these seven to be excellent representatives of the program and university. I am also confident they will help us achieve of our goal of being successful in the Sunshine State Conference, both athletically and academically."
The current squad sees five seniors retiring from the Lions' jersey.
McKenzie Burns
5-4, Infield
Brooksville, Fla.
Central High School/Florida Havoc
Burns joins the Lions as a decorated multi-sport star from Hernando County. Outside of her primary softball skill, the future Sport Business major was an all-county tennis and basketball player, being named team captain (2008-2010), team MVP (2009-2010), and All-Suncoast Conference (2009-10) during her high school career. Her chief talent, softball, is where Burns truly shines, earning multiple accolades as a four year starter with Central HS.
A three-time team MVP (2008-2010), Burns was tabbed All-Suncoast in 2009 and 2010. Her most notable accomplishment, however, came in a trio of seasons as the three-time captain was named Hernando County Player of the Year her sophomore, junior, and senior seasons.
She concluded her senior campaign hitting .551, collecting 38 hits in 59 at-bats. Holding an on-base percentage of .575, Burns stole 26 bases, scored 21 runs and did not strike out a single time.
Conway's Perspective: "Mackenzie has above average speed and is a very good all-around athlete. She will put pressure on opposing defenses with her slapping abilities and speed on the base paths. She also has great range and will compete for a spot in the middle infield.
Kaitlynn Diaz
5-4, Infield
Tampa, Fla.
Chamberlain High School/Tampa Mustangs
Diaz was a four-year starter for Chamberlain HS, located in Tampa, Fla. As a sophomore in 2009, she was named Most Improved Player of the Year, as well as an All-Hillsborough County Honorable Mention selection. A .288 hitter through three seasons for the Chiefs, Diaz combined to score 49 runs and knock in 33.
A defensive specialist, the future Sport Business major highlighted her sophomore season with a perfect 1.000 fielding percentage, as she did not commit an error in the infield.
Diaz spent her travel ball years playing for the Tampa Mustangs where she collected a .345 batting average, in addition to a 1.000 fielding percentage. She also scored 39 runs and amassed 35 RBI.
Conway's Perspective: "Kaitlynn has the ability to play nearly everywhere on the field except in the circle. She has a winning attitude that will be contagious and is coming off a strong senior year season offensively in high school."
Ashley Ehlers
5-8, Pitcher
Dunedin, Fla.
Dunedin High School/Tampa Mustangs
Ehlers took to the circle for Dunedin HS where she was named team MVP in each of her four seasons for the Falcons. The incoming Biology major finished her career second in the county in total strikeouts. Ehlers, a travel ball teammate of Diaz, played for the Tampa Mustangs where she was coached by Tim Mouse.
As a senior, Ehlers controlled the circle with 125 strikeouts. In addition, the Dunedin, Fla. native also made an impact with the bat amassing a .358 batting average while driving in 15 runs.
Conway's Perspective: "Ashley will have an opportunity to compete in the circle right away. She has a great presence on the mound and possesses great intangibles that will help us in the win column next season."

Markstrom may have played last game for Rampage
Updated 11:07 pm, Thursday, March 7, 2013
Fans may have seen the last of Jacob Markstrom wearing a Rampage jersey.
The 6-foot-6 Swedish goaltender was called up by the parent Florida Panthers on Sunday after Jose Theodore was placed on injured reserve with a groin tear.
Theodore is expected to be out five to six weeks.
"My understanding is that Markstrom is going to be given the chance to be the No. 1 goalie the rest of the year," Rampage coach Chuck Weber said.
In other words, it appears the Jacob Markstrom era has begun in Florida.
Even before the injury to Theodore, the Panthers were on the verge of turning to their former second-round draft pick anyway.
Sports Channel
Neither Theodore nor backup Scott Clemmensen had been playing well this season, a major reason the Panthers have struggled out of the gate after the lockout.
Florida ranked last in the NHL with a 3.68 goals-against average entering Monday, prompting fans at the BB&T Center in Sunrise, Fla., to chant, "We want Markstrom" during games.
Markstrom started Tuesday against Winnipeg and played well in a 4-1 Florida victory. He hit a rough patch Thursday, allowing two quick goals before being lifted from a 7-1 loss to Washington.
The Rampage filled Markstrom's spot by recalling goalie Brian Foster from Cincinnati of the ECHL to back up Dov Grumet-Morris.
Rampage East: Counting forward James Wright, who now plays for Winnipeg, eight players who played for the Rampage this season suited up Tuesday for the game in Sunrise.
Center Mike Santorelli scored a goal, defenseman Colby Robak tallied his first NHL point and forward Jon Rheault played well in his NHL debut.
The other players in action that night who played in San Antonio this season were Tyson Strachan, Drew Shore, Nolan Yonkman and Erik Gudbranson.
Reinforcements: Weber said he doesn't expect any of the call-ups to be back in time for tonight's game in Cedar Park against the Texas Stars or Sunday's home contest against Oklahoma City.
He said forward David Pacan will be recalled from Cincinnati, and Evan Barlow will be signed to a pro-tryout deal after he was released by Hershey.
Defensemen David McDonald also will be recalled from the Cyclones, Weber said.

A PADIHAM landmark has been given a clean sweep thanks to a local community group.
The Perseverance Mill Area Residents' Group, with support from Calico and Burnley Borough Council, organised the tidy-up day to help clear litter from Bedford Place Park.
Five local residents and eight children joined Coun Jonathan Barker, and Kathryn Davies, Calico's neighbourhood officer for the area on Saturday, to fill 21 bags of litter.
The children also got the chance to make their own 'grass heads' at the event.
After the litter pick all children who took part were rewarded for their hard work with chocolates and sweets.
The Perseverance group was set up as a platform for residents living near the mill, which has blighted the town for many years, to discuss a range of neighbourhood issues including ways to help improve the area.
Kathryn said:"This was the most positive tidy-up event I've ever been involved with. Everyone was willing to get stuck in and clean the park — it was great to see so much dedication and pride from the residents."
Coun Barker, who runs the group, said: "It's great to see the community getting together to keep their area looking good. There are still a lot of people who take pride in their surroundings, and events like this are proof of that."
The group meets on the first Monday of every month, from 7pm, at the Shakespeare Pub on Wytham Street.
For more information, call Calico on 0800 169 2407 or 01282 686300.

I feel so strongly about Cronenberg's work that he could direct LEGALLY BLONDE 3 and I'd be there first day it opened.....
These new projects sound great. Can't wait.
I'm still on the fence about whether I relly like Jonathan Lethem or he's boring and pretentious. I mean I've read 3 of his books and they were alright but a bit crypticc.
Lith for nothing, or die fuh thomething!
"I'd rather see the world The way it used to be"
Interesting that Cronenberg and (to a lesser extent) Craven can still get wide theatrical releases for films with A-list casts while Carpenter, Romero, Hooper, Coscarelli and the rest have experienced such trouble getting suitable projects greenlit over the last decade. How'd we get here?
Well, Cronenberg makes good deals and his recent films have been successes (critically and money wise in the box office/home video department). Wes through the mid-nineties had a contract with the Weinstein's, so that kept him a float with the films he's done there considering most of them have been successes. I assume he knows other producers who have theater pull, so he doesn't have much trouble getting them in since they're not total flops.
Carpenter I think just took the deal on The Ward because it sounded good. Not having a big budget film for a big studio gave him free reign without producers getting in his hair. He's also pretty much fed up with the studio system so that probably has something to do with it.
Romero is pretty much in the same boat here, I think he takes the lighter deals because he doesn't want to have to deal with the big studios much anymore.

Buchholz blanks GHS again for 5th straight win
Published: Thursday, March 21, 2013 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, March 22, 2013 at 12:06 a.m.
It wasn't quite the football-like score of a week ago, but the result was the same.
Another Buchholz shutout over Gainesville.
Fowler Brown had a two-run single in the sixth inning, and Phoenix Sanders tossed 6 2/3 shutout innings with eight strikeouts and had a pair of hits, including a double, as the Bobcats blanked the Hurricanes again, 5-0, Thursday night.
It marked the fifth straight win for Buchholz (10-3), which seven days ago beat Gainesville 23-0 on its home field.
"We knew that was not how capable they were playing, so we knew we would see a good arm tonight and a very well-coached team and that is what we got," said Bobcats coach Ron Brooks. "At the beginning of the season, we were a little inconsistent, not getting timely hitting. Now we are starting to come together with pitching, hitting and defense. We got some timely hits in key situations that really sprung us."
Brooks Morgan drove in two runs without a hit for Buchholz, scoring Dakota Turner on a sacrifice fly in the first and Chris Stinson in the third on a groundout for a 2-0 Bobcat lead.
Sanders singled to open the bottom half of the third, moved to third on Washington's hit-and-run groundout, then scored on Adam Koff's opposite-field double to right-center to give Buchholz a 3-0 lead.
But the Hurricanes (4-10) showed offensive life in the fifth, getting three straight slashing singles to load the bases with no outs. But a GHS runner was thrown out at home after a passed ball got through. Sanders then struck out the next two 'Canes batters to end the threat.
"That was a big momentum boost for us," Brooks said. "Phoenix did a good job getting out of that."
"That was a baserunning mistake by a freshman," GHS coach Adam Souillard said. "I have a lot of freshmen and sophomores during some jobs that usually juniors and seniors take care of. But they are learning, and I am pleased with their development.
"We wanted to play obviously much better than last time, and we executed for the most part tonight. I just wished we could have swung the bat better. But their pitcher did a great job. Phoenix is an incredible pitcher."
Sanders doubled in the sixth and Washington was intentionally walked. Brown followed with his lone hit of the game, a two-run shot to right-center that padded the Bobcats' lead to 5-0.
Sanders (4-1) gave up just four hits, three in the fifth. GHS starter Will Whitlock took the loss, giving up eight hits.
Freshman Kyle McGriff went 2-for-3 at the plate for the 'Canes.
Buchholz will participate in next week's Central Florida Spring Break Slam, playing at Apopka on Monday at 7:30 p.m.

Topic: "I BELIEVE"
Shellina and Darla a million thanks for telling me about this song. I am posting the lyrics because they say it all, a must read! I used up a large bathroom towel on this one and felt it would be a lovely post for our "Believers Club". In fact I am going to send it out to my family for Father's Day. I cannot thank you enough.
Diamond Rio - I Believe Lyrics
Every now and then, soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again and it's like
You haven't been gone a moment from my side
Like the tears were never cried
Like the hands of time are holding you and me
And with all my heart I'm sure, we're closer than we ever were
I don't have to hear or see, I've got all the proof I need
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, oh, I believe
Now, when you die, your life goes on
It doesn't end here when you're gone
Every soul is filled with light, it never ends if I'm right
Our love can even reach across eternity
I believe, oh, I believe
Forever, you're a part of me
Forever, in the heart of me
I will hold you even longer if I can
Oh, the people who don't see the most
See that I believe in ghosts
And if that makes me crazy, then I am
'Cause I believe, oh I believe
There are more than angels watching over me
I believe, oh I believe
Every now and then soft as breath upon my skin
I feel you come back again
And I believe

Three has always been held up as a mystical
number: the Trinity; Larry Bird; the titular reworking of the Three Musketeers; etc. It just so happens
that you also need three people to market a modern law practice.
The good thing is: there's very little mysticism about it.
Content. A modern marketing platform starts with
content. The most successful lawyers have always used publication
as a mechanism for becoming known for their expertise in their
fields. It still works. The difference now is that there are so
many more publication options, especially for self-publishing,
including the still-popular blogging. Content draws
people in; it is the carrot for your stick. Give something away,
and charge for the good stuff/specific advice.
In order to leverage content marketing, you'll need
someone who is a prolific writer and content curator.
Social. A modern marketing platform incorporates
the social web. The simplest argument for using social media is
that everybody else does. This is not to say that you should split
your efforts across every social network you can find. Rather, you
should focus on one medium, or a few or more popular
ones, to begin to create the organic growth required of a
personalized, professional web presence. But, there is an art to
using social media well, including to market your business.
In order to leverage social media marketing, you'll need someone
who can distribute curated content and engage naturally online.
Many people believe that this person must be a digital native; but, that's not necessarily the
case: it's more about ease of influence, than it is about the
Networking. A modern marketing platform includes
mandates for in-person networking. While your web presence will
allow you to supplement your marketing, it does not replace the
traditional in-person networking that attorneys have always relied
on to drive business. If anything, the prevalence of internet
marketing makes personal connections even more valuable, because
they've become rarer. And, the best way to cement an online
relationship remains to meet in-person.
In order to leverage in-person networking, you'll need someone who
is comfortable in a crowded room, filled with strange faces.
Many people believe that this person must be a traditionalist (an
ol' boy (or gal), as it were); but, that's not
necessarily the case: it's more about ease of influence than it is
about the medium.
Solo attorneys now very worried about commencing hiring searches
need not be. Certainly, all of these abilities can be wrapped up in
one person; it's just that . . . the 'one musketeer' sounded so
lame when I was brainstorming titles. But, even if you don't have
all of these access skills in spades, you can concentrate on one,
as you build up the others. That being said, there is an advantage
for larger firms in this regard: those firms can source the best
talent in each of these areas, and allow attorneys to hone in on
particular marketing skills. Separating marketing functions also
allows firms to become more efficient, since they're more favorably
leveraging the skills of their staff. Of course, that sort of
specialization would not necessarily help departing
. . .
If you're looking for additional marketing tips, and for a way to
network with your colleagues, there is still room to R.S.V.P. for
the Massachusetts Bar Association's
'Third Annual Super Marketing Conference: Accelerate
Your Marketing', featuring Mark Britton, founder and CEO of Avvo, as the
keynote speaker.
In-person and web attendance options are available. In-person
attendees will be provided breakfast and lunch.
For a full agenda, and to R.S.V.P., visit the event page.

Coin on a ChessboardProbability puzzles require you to weigh all the possibilities and pick the most likely outcome.
If a chessboard is the size of 80cm, and you throw a coin onto it of diameter 2cm. The centre of the coin falls somewhere within the 64 squares. What is the probability that it lands fully on a white square?
AnswerFor the coin to fall within a white square, it (its centre) must fall into a smaller area inside a white square. This smaller area will also be a square with its length 2cm shorter than the 10cm white square. (If the coin falls at the very edge of the white square, its centre will be on the edge of this smaller white square; the border of this square will be 1cm away from the border of the larger square). So it must land within this area = 64 square cm.
The area of a white square is 100 square cm = 64/100, but only every 2nd square is white, so the answer = 32/100.

Beginning an otherwise positive story on Wednesday's NBC Today about vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan's intense exercise regimen, P90X, correspondent Kelly O'Donnell managed to work in this jab: "He's doing a workout you've probably seen all over late night TV. Call it extreme. And we're not talking about his politics here." [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]
Here is a transcript of the beginning of the August 15 segment:
SAVANNAH GUTHRIE: And whether you're a Democrat, a Republican, or independent, there's one thing every American can agree on, it's important to be healthy. Vice Presidential candidate Paul Ryan talks a lot about his grueling workout routine. NBC's Kelly O'Donnell found out how he does it. Kelly, good morning.
KELLY O'DONNELL: Good morning, Savannah. Well, there is one place around Capitol Hill that will tell you an awful lot about who Paul Ryan is. And it's a place that's typically off limits to everyone but members of Congress. I'm talking about the House gym. And on most days that's where you will find him starting at 6:00 a.m. And he's doing a workout you've probably seen all over late night TV. Call it extreme. And we're not talking about his politics here. You won't actually see him sweat, but Paul Ryan loves to talk about his exercise.

Editor's note: This market commentary is provided by the Dairy Division at FCStone/Downes-O'Neill in Chicago, Ill.
Class III traded firm out of the gate Thursday morning on follow-through buying from Wednesday's session. As for 2011 contracts, prices traded up to levels of technical resistance (as in the case of August re-testing all-time contract highs) and psychological resistance (as in the case of September trading through $19.00) before cooling during another weak day for spot blocks. Eight loads of block cheese came to the market and methodically lowered the price to $2.0025, though four different buyers were counted. But with the spread between spot and futures still very wide, futures selling was in short supply post-spot, and the market essentially consolidated for the balance of the day.
When the dust settled, it was a decent July volume day of 1,132 contracts and prices were mostly steady to .10 higher. But with the gap between spot blocks and barrels sitting at an uncomfortable 10 cent-per-pound spread, yesterday was likely a respite before a more substantial market move. And although there was a good showing of buyers on the blocks, sellers are the clear aggressors and so we suspect that the barrel price may have only hours — not days or weeks — to sit idly by at $2.10.
Although the lion's share of trading volume — over 900 contracts — occurred in the 2011 contracts, we continue to note commercial buy interest picking up steam into 2012. One hundred and ninth-seven contracts traded between .05 lower and .10 higher in 2012 and that mid to high $1.60 cheese price level has garnered some earlier-than-expected buyer hedge attention. In the cheese futures, volume was also heaviest in 2012. This is to be expected, as the discount to current spot pricing creates an appearance of value for next year. Still, it is a "budget-able" number and it pans out for many who are seeking a percentage of longer-term coverage sooner rather than later.
Next Tuesday (July 19th), we will get another viewpoint of cheddar cheese pricing. For the first time, Fonterra's Global Dairy Trade Auction will post cheddar pricing on their platform. While this may not have an immediate impact on U.S. dealings of physical product, it will shed more light on international pricing and, perhaps, aid price discovery/transparency for our U.S. and global markets.
Corn futures — indeed the entire grain complex — consolidated today after a sharp rise in corn prices lifted all grain and bean boats this week. The market had clearly already dialed in strong export sales. Weekly corn exports remained strong with 66.1 million bushels reported sold for the week. This comes in on the high side of trade estimates and reflects big Chinese buying also strong. Weekly soybean export sales were also stronger than normal, at 24.2 million bushels, about twice the 10-week average and right at the high-side trade guess.
Traders and analysts have been ratcheting up their figures for Chinese corn import potential from 1.5 to 5 million tons. COFCO Corporation of China sees Chinese soybean imports at 56.0-56.6 million tons for 2011/12, up around 9-10% from last season. The USDA estimated '11/12 Chinese soybean imports at 56.5 million tons in its July S&D Report.
More pressing today, however, is the weather. And while we expect the initial market impact of the heat dome expected to move about the Corn Belt is already priced in, such talk may continue to underpin prices here into the weekend. It looks like southern Minnesota and northern Iowa will get the only material rains through tonight before the heat wave begins. The next chance for cooler air and rainfall is now firmly a week away.
We look for corn to open firm and soybeans to open 1 to 3 higher.
Daily CME spot market prices:
Block cheese: $2.0025 (down 3.25 cents)
Barrel cheese: $2.1025 (unchanged)
Butter: $2.03 (unchanged)

TEXAS CITY, Texas - Texas City police say an elementary school student who claimed he was grabbed by a stranger as he waited at a bus stop, was mistaken.
The boy reported the incident, and Texas Independent School District officials released details.
The district reported the stranger approached a 9-year-old Kohfeldt Elementary School student on the corner of 19th Street North near 1st Avenue North about 7:10 a.m. on Tuesday.
But now Texas City police say after speaking to the boy again, they have determined there was a misunderstanding, and there was no attempted abduction.

Ohio family missing in Everglades after boat trip
Published: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 1:18 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, April 5, 2013 at 1:18 p.m.
MIAMI (AP) — Authorities searching for a missing family from Ohio who failed to return from a Florida Everglades airboat trip say they have heard whistles and an air horn.
Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission spokesman Jorge Pino said Friday a helicopter is going to the area where the sounds were heard in hopes it is the missing family of five.
The searchers are using aircraft and airboats to look for the family in an area covering more than 1,000 square miles.
The family's airboat is painted in camouflage and could be difficult to see. The area also had heavy thunderstorms and rain Thursday.
The family was identified as 44-year-old Scott Schreck; his 42-year-old wife, Carrie; and their three young children. Their hometown was not immediately confirmed.

SleepyFE - Wednesday, June 25, 2014 - linkBig buttons!!!!! What a joke. As is android won't work in cars. If you have to look at the screen so you can hit a button (big or small) you are not looking at the road. What you need is Physical buttons you can feel with your fingertips. Different shape for different function. Reply
bvn - Wednesday, June 25, 2014 - linkUm. Are you joking? Touchscreens are here to stay. I would expect OK Google to take a front seat in this. Reply
SleepyFE - Thursday, June 26, 2014 - linkI know touchscreens are here to stay, Does not mean that it's a good idea. Reply
mujuboo32 - Wednesday, June 25, 2014 - linkRead the article at least:
"The Android Auto system is also designed to be functional with only the use of voice controls"
If you're not aware, Google has been improving their voice recognition software for a while now. Reply
SleepyFE - Thursday, June 26, 2014 - linkI read the article. Whenever i voice search something i have to be connected to the internet. In a car that would drive my cell phone bill way up, so that's not a feature i would use and i'm sure not everyone has a huge data plan. Reply
Ortanon - Thursday, June 26, 2014 - linkThe car manufacturer puts the physical buttons in the car. And usually they do, in fact. My car has them. What exactly is your complaint?
Also, what physical button are you going to press to search for something?? Very confusing stuff you've got going on here. Reply
SleepyFE - Thursday, June 26, 2014 - linkMy remark was aimed at the music player. And you don't search while you drive, so you can use the touchscreen for that. Voice control is a problem, when your kid is screaming: I wanna go to Disneyland! Though that is only a problem if you are not going to Disneyland. Reply
piiman - Sunday, June 29, 2014 - linkor you have no control over you kids. Reply
acton11 - Thursday, June 26, 2014 - linkThat data connection is dependent upon what you're doing. It's the same with button or voice. Telling your phone to pull up your music app is the same as tapping on it. There's no internet connection involved. Now telling your app to look up the current traffic status then the internet connection requirement is the same with voice command, touch screen button and a physical button.
Can you elaborate on how physical buttons don't use an internet connection while voice searching or tapping on the screen does or uses more internet data? Reply
SleepyFE - Thursday, June 26, 2014 - linkFor voice recognition you have to be connected to Google's servers. To click a button you don't.
You are mixing two comments. The point with the buttons was that it does not matter how big they are. If you have to look at the screen to touch them you are not looking at the road (not safe in case you didn't know). Then Mujuboo32 said that you could use voice controls to not have to look at the screen. But to do that you have to connect to Google's servers for voice recognition. Ergo voice controls need mobile data. Reply
acton11 - Thursday, June 26, 2014 - linkAndroid has had the ability to do offline speech recognition since Jelly Bean. Reply
SleepyFE - Thursday, June 26, 2014 - linkThanks for the info. I got android 4.0.3 so i still have to go online.
In that case: FINALLY WE WILL GET OUR VERY OWN KITT!! GOTTA LOVE IT!! Reply
piiman - Sunday, June 29, 2014 - link"For voice recognition you have to be connected to Google's servers."
No you don't
You speak into phone and them it connects, translates the command and then disconnects. Its not a data consuming thing. As for the button not being safe because you have to look..........give me a break! It takes all of 1/2 second or less to glance at the screen. I'm sure you take your eyes off the road for that amount of time many times during a drive. Reply
acton11 - Thursday, June 26, 2014 - linkAlso, as Ortanon said, the car maker will decide what physical buttons will be available. I hope some of them read your comment and do supplement the touch screen with physical buttons. I'd definitely like to have the option to use the touchscreen, voice control or physical buttons depending on what I'm doing.
For example, in my current car, my steering wheel has physical buttons for volume control, music player control (pause, skip, fast forward, rewind), phone control (answer, hangup, ignore). The dash also has other physical buttons that supplement the screen controls.

piiman - Sunday, June 29, 2014 - linkLOL nice to see you have no idea how it works. It only connects to a server and passes data when it is given a command. It doesn't stay live the entire time. You would use VERY little data. Reply
Daniel Egger - Sunday, June 29, 2014 - linkThere's no contradiction whatsoever. For voice recognition you'll need a live connection to one of Googles' servers. Period. If you had any idea of TCP/IP then you'd also know that it might even be more (data) efficient to keep a TCP socket alive for a long time rather then reestablishing for every voice command if there more than a few dictations per day. And even "VERY little" amounts of data might cost a lot of money if you're travelling across the border as can be quite common in Europe -- not that any ignorant US people would actually care.
I also don't see why I would want to take such a huge step backwards as I do have nice physical controls in both of my cars and I have voice control if I wanted to (no, I usually don't because using voice control the system is not capable of supplying educated guesses and autocompletion) -- completely offline.

Oooskar - Monday, June 30, 2014 - linkIt's a shame that it has been made this easy to call handsfree in a car. I read many scientifical reports which concluded that it didn't matter whether someone was holding their phone or calling handsfree, but keeping the conversation going was distracting (and because of that, dangerous). I hope governments will soon take notice and warn drivers for the real danger in calling while driving. Reply

The Gathering Storm by Robin Bridges
In 1888 St. Petersburg, Katerina Alexandrovna attempts to hide her dark secret. Ever since she was a child, she has been able to raise the dead. Those learning of her secret will either shun her or attempt to use her for their own evil purposes. Katerina must also deal with a vampire prince who wishes to marry her for mysterious reasons and her growing affection for the tsar's middle son.
I am not a huge fan of historical fiction, but the added paranormal elements made this an exciting read. The author combines vampires, faeries, and other creatures with Russian history, and it inspired me to look up certain characters to see if they really existed.

Betsey Johnson BLACK SEQUIN Bolero Crop Top
Kate loves to wear her cute sequin bolero with a tank top or tight dress...get the look with this great Betsy Johnson Bolero
Love the dress. It would look even better with this Armani Mobile Phone!Added 10 Years Ago from Armani Exchange
These are hot black ankle boots I do think Kate Moss herself would approve of! They have a hint of the Victorian Era with the button accents on the sides.
This bracelet is very similar to one she wore out recently...and it's affordable!
Kate Moss is queen of rock fashion in my opinion and she knows how to pick a matching clutch...this is the same clutch she has!Added 10 Years Ago from Missselfridge

I was in the store awhile back and found a perfectly cut turkey: 1 drumstick, 1 thigh, and 1 wing in each of 2 packages and the breast halves in a separate 3rd package, which meant I could have the parts I like without having to put up with the breast meat!
2 pieces of each meant that I could use 2 separate seasonings: Black Forest on 1 group and North African on the other. I put the spices under as well as over the skin and the turkey went into the fridge overnight.
I put them on a 350-degree briquette fire with a big chunk of apple wood for smoke, and grilled them indirect until the drumsticks hit 180, which meant that the thighs weren't far behind and the wings, farthest from the fire, were done as well.
Big time great flavor and awesome skin to boot! The North African spice mix contains ginger and it helped add a nice underlying spiciness that the Black Forest doesn't, but it was great in its own right, too.
Cooking the parts separately is definitely the way to go. Everything gets done just right without worries about overdone breast meat and underdone dark meat.

4. AUGUST 2017 FESTIVAL PERIOD: Minimum booking is 2 persons / 2 nights
Welcome to Edinburgh! A tranquil city-center hideaway..
In these past 5 years I am delighted to have been able to share my home with many dozens of visitors from East and West:
Hong Kong * Japan * China * Singapore * Korea * Taiwan * Sri Lanka * Pakistan * India * Australia * New Zealand
* Norway * Sweden * Netherlands * Germany * Austria * Belgium *Switzerland * France * Italy * Greece * Spain *Iceland * Portugal * England * Ireland
* Canada * Chile * Brazil * USA
* Russia * Dubai *Morocco
Locals say it's like a big village - frequently you meet someone you know when you're out. There is much green space in the city, as well as the historical Old and New Towns. Every August the Arts Festivals attract half a million visitors from 'round the world to experience the festivities.
The guest room is in my flat, ideal for 1-3 persons,and up to 5 persons if needed - great for families and friends travelling together.
The garden flat is a 22-MINUTE WALK FROM WAVERLEY TRAIN STATION & PRINCES STREET, AND 30 MINUTES TO THE ROYAL MILE. There are many local bus services nearby. My home is in a relaxed setting hidden behind a tall gate 35m from the nearest street, surrounded by 110-m2 of private garden and a terrace with mature trees.
There are 3 single beds (a single and a bunk bed). For groups and families there are two extra mattresses with all bedding placed on the floor if required, **NOTE: FLOOR SPACE WITH EXTRA MATTRESSES IS VERY LIMITED. Families with children are welcome. All bedding and towels are included. There are a chest of drawers, writing desk/worktop, comfortable arm chair and closet. The room is just across the hall from the shared bathroom, my room is adjacent near the kitchen.
A Continental breakfast is included (Rolls/bread, jam, butter, coffee/tee, maybe fruit and/or muesli). GUESTS MAY USE THE KITCHEN, REFRIGERATOR AND WASHING MACHINE BY ARRANGEMENT PLEASE ASK. For 1-3 persons breakfast may be taken at the small half-round kitchen table 830-930, or by arrangement, and larger guest groups will have breakfast at the 200 year-old Scottish farm table in the lounge.
Oriental rugs scattered throughout on wool fitted carpets ensure a rich and cozy ambiance.
All linens/bedding/towels, wireless broadband, gas central heating, 'power-shower', hair dryer, washing machine and drying closet are provided. Children ( DISCOUNT for CHILDREN UNDER AGE 16, please ask at time of booking, under 5 years are free) and pets welcome. I am also gay-friendly. There is an extensive collection of photographic arts and Oriental carpet books, as well as maps and guides of Edinburgh and Scotland available.
• Wide range of cafes, restaurants, cinema & shopping . Edinburgh has an eclectic range of locally-owned shops (avoiding the mass-market identical chain stores found in every UK city), restaurants and so many delicatessens and coffee shops, not to mention pubs!
• Good bus transport very near extending throughout Edinburgh incl Service 100 from/to Airport the new TRAM
• Edinburgh is a very walkable place. It is an easy walk or bus to Princes Street, the Olde Town, Hollyrood Palace, Scottish Parliament, Royal Botanical Gardens, Museum of Scotland, National Gallery of Scotland, Museum of Modern Art, City Arts Centre, Hollyrood Queen's Gallery and Waverley Train Station all in central Edinburgh.
• Excellent international restaurants: Edinburgh offers it all.
• Parking: there is free on-street parking a 7-minute walk away or meter parking on the street, but which is free weekends Friday 1730-Monday 0830. I'm pleased to share with you my insights and tips about Edinburgh. I look forward to meeting you soon.
Beware UK rail prices which seem to have no logic. However with a little planning and knowledge you can very often travel much cheaper particularly long distance.
SPLIT-TICKETING: Longer journeys can often be less expensive by shopping carefully, buying in advance ON LINE, and breaking up your journey into 2, 3 or more segments, with tickets for each part of the journey,often at major junctions. Look online for "split ticketing". It is legal & usually worth the effort

Reviews of this property
For the German-speaking guests: - a really nice place to stay, neat and adequate - good breakfast - well located, quiet and still only maybe 10 - 12min walk to the center, we have the most goals can be reached on foot - but above all, a very, very nice, sympathetic and always helpful host David (Edinburgh is a great city, you know yourself) Hello David, nice greetings ... unfortunatly back at home! Thanks for synthesis great days with you!
Für die deutschsprachigen Gäste:
- eine wirklich nette Unterkunft, ordentlich und ausreichend
- gutes Frühstück
- gut gelegen, ruhig und trotzdem nur vielleicht 10 - 12min zu Fuß ins Zentrum, die allermeisten Ziele haben wir zu Fuß erreichen können
- vor allem aber ein sehr, sehr netter, sympathischer und stets hilfsbereiter Gastgeber David
(das Edinburgh eine tolle Stadt ist, wisst ihr selber)
Hallo David: nice greetings ... unfortunatly back at home!
Thanks for these great days with you!!!
The room is very clean and nice and bright David's house is about 20 minutes walk from the old town (Neustad 10min). David was a great host, he is very friendly, mostly stayed in the background and served a good breakfast. Wimdu makes so fun, so 5 stars from me
Das Zimmer ist sehr sauber und schön hell. Davids Haus liegt ca. 20min Fussweg von der Altstadt entfernt (Neustad 10min). David war ein toller Gastgeber, er ist sehr freundlich, hielt sich meist im Hintergrund und servierte ein gutes Frühstück.
So macht Wimdu Spass, deshalb 5 Sterne von mir
DAVID is an excellent, earnest, honest, reliable, open and friendly host. We had a great time in his comfy, clean, bright and cosy room. David was very helpful anytime we needed help. I can truly recommend him!!! He likes kids and kids are welcome in his house.The bus connection is also perfect yet the city is not far away to walk -the surroundings are also comfortable and friendly with kids. It was grand, couldn't have wished it better and safer. It was better than 100 %.
Had a lovely nights stay at David's home from home, which it truly was. We felt very welcome, so much so that i hung my wet clothes out on his line from my mornings swim in Loch Lemond. If your staying in the area - it is well worth the £10 train ticket from Edinburgh to Balloch. I would most certainly stay here again if I'm in the area. If you are looking for somewhere to stay that is cheap and cosy with someone who will most certainly help you find where you need to go….this is the place.
Our stay at David was very pleasant. We felt right at home, David is very easy to handle and gives you lots of information about Edinburgh. He also makes a delicious breakfast. We felt like we were at a friend visiting and have chatted about music, the former carpet trade of David and many more interesting topics. The house of David is one end of the street making it very quiet sleep. Really recommended! Jan & Marieke, Groningen
Ons verblijf bij David was heel prettig. We voelden ons meteen thuis, David is erg gemakkelijk in de omgang en geeft je veel informatie over Edinburgh.
Daarnaast maakt hij een heerlijk ontbijtje. We hadden het idee alsof we bij een vriend op bezoek waren en hebben nog gezellig gekletst over muziek, de voormalige tapijtenhandel van David en nog veel meer interessante onderwerpen.
Het huis van David staat een eind van de straat waardoor het er erg rustig slaapt. Echt aanbevolen!
Jan & Marieke, Groningen
We had a truly wonderful stay at David's lovely home. We were made so welcome on our arrival and everything felt so natural that we felt at home immediately. The room looked beautiful in the late afternoon sunlight and there was a lot of thought put into details like providing useful leaflets and a very handy plan of Lothian Region buses. His place was spotlessly clean, the garden a delight and don't miss David's breakfast, it really is a treat and a lovely little event to wake up to. David not only has a lot to say about Edinburgh if you're stuck for something to do, he is also full of fascinating stories and just a really nice person to be with and talk to. It was like staying with a friend and we would love to come back. Thank you David.
We enjoyed our stay with David, who was our little soins.Toujours ready to help, always concerned that our stay is bien.Super breakfast. Although only 18 minutes from downtown, the journey is on foot. The course is nice, notably with a tesco, pubs, restaurants, grocery store and a clothing design that I recommande.L 'reception by David worth seeing: There is a cozy and warm room, loan cards access to the kitchen and parking, good addresses, advice, his good humor and real empathy for its guests. What happiness!
Nous avons beaucoup apprécié notre séjour chez David qui a été à nos petits soins.Toujours prêt à rendre service, toujours soucieux que notre séjour se passe bien.Super petit déjeuner.
Bien qu'à 18 minutes du centre-ville, le trajet se fait bien à pied. Le parcours est agréable avec, notamment, un tesco , des pubs, restaurants, épicerie et une boutique de création de vêtements que je recommande.L'accueil réservé par David vaut le détour: outre une chambre confortable et bien chauffée,prêt de cartes, l'accès à sa cuisine et son parking, les bonnes adresses,les conseils, sa bonne humeur et sa réelle empathie pour ses invités. Que du bonheur!!!
Lovely man, not too luxurious surroundings, but very warm welcome and stay.
Schat van een man, niet al te luxe omgeving, maar zeer warm welkom en verblijf.
We were greeted very warmly by David during our stay in Edinburgh: we greatly appreciated the quality breakfast, the availability of our host and his open-mindedness! we strongly recommend this to all those of us who are also looking to meet people while traveling ..
Nous avons été accueillis très chaleureusement par David durant notre séjour à Edinburgh: nous avons grandement apprécié la qualité du petit déjeuner, la disponibilité de notre hôte et son ouverture d'esprit!! nous recommandons fortement cette adresse à tous ceux qui comme nous cherchent aussi à rencontrer des personnages pendant leurs voyages ..

While chatting with the creators of the junior curling tours across the country, I've been in awe of how incredibly talented, dedicated and visionary these individuals are. Barely out of juniors themselves, they are working hard to change the face of junior curling in not only their provinces, but also their country. Brett Zubot, the man and mastermind behind the Alberta Junior Curling Tour (AJCT), is no exception.Read More

8 Lessons About Fashion + Beauty (And Life!) I Learned from 'What Not To Wear'
After ten fabulous seasons, 'What Not To Wear' will be closing up its closet. In honor of the show, here are 8 lessons for fashion, beauty, and life we learned from it!
-Lucia Peters
I've spoken before about my love/hate relationship with TLC, but not unlike Say Yes to the Dress, What Not To Wear is one of their shows that I actually like watching. The title is perhaps a little misleading; although it's structured in terms of a negative, the show's actual angle is quite positive.
Read Three Charming Outfits Inspired By Oz's Most Captivating Witches
Alas, news broke yesterday that after ten seasons, What Not To Wear will be closing up its closet and leaving the airwaves. Its final season will hit the small screen in July, after which we'll have to try to find some other way to fill the gaping, dress-shaped hole in our hearts. So let's send the show out with a bang, shall we? In honor of it and its two illustrious hosts, Clinton Kelly and Stacy London, here are eight lessons I've learned from What Not To Wear over its long and fabulous run. Each of these lessons applies first to style and beauty—but with a little extension of thought, they can apply to life, too. Thanks for the memories, Stacy and Clinton!

Question for the Money Doctors
Question submitted on Apr 23, 2010.
QuestionWhat are the advantages and disadvantages of an Equity linked CD?
Potential for high return because it is linked to some sort of equity index.
Typical market linked CDs will protect you from losing money in a market downturn, if you hold it to maturity.
Most are FDIC insured upto the typical FDIC limits.
Typically significant early withdrawal penalties
Earnings taxed at higher rate than would have been had you owned the equity securities in a typical taxable brokerage account.
Returns are typically capped by what is known as a participation rate.
Risk that you may earn very little or nothing if the market goes south for the duration of the CD.
Lastly, while you do get the growth component of the return of the index to which it is tied, subject to a possible cap, you do not get the dividends related to the index.

THE UK Independence Party is planning to argue against plans for a massive rubbish-burning incinerator in Hartlebury - claiming the project is a waste of money.
Worcestershire County Council's UKIP group has upped the ante ahead of a crunch vote by insisting it will call for the plant to be scrapped.
The stance will not result in the project falling apart, as the controlling Conservative group have 31 of the 57 seats at County Hall.
The incinerator, which will convert waste to energy, also has strong support from within the opposition Labour Party.
UKIP spokesman Michael Wrench, who is also the party's candidate for the Wyre Forest, said: "Times are hard - necessary but painful cuts to public services have seen £5 million snatched from the fire service alone.
"Social services and bus services have been whittled down too.
"We are all suffering, so why is the county council hell bent on spending this vast sum without examining other more viable alternatives?
"We have this eccentric, old-fashioned attitude towards representative governance.
"We listen to the views of the public, we then look closely at the facts and figures and in this case the figures just do not add up.
"This is public money which is being splashed around on a vanity project with no environmental or financial benefits whatsoever."
The incinerator has been in the preparation stages since 1998, when a 25-year contract was signed with West Mercia Waste to run it.
But it only secured planning permission and Government approval last year and in December, the cabinet finally agreed a £165 million loan to get it off the ground.
A vote will take place at full council tomorrow , and if accepted by a majority of politicians, construction will start in the spring with a view to opening in 2017.
It will have a capacity of 200,000 tones of waste and collect rubbish from Worcestershire and Herefordshire, burning it to generate electricity, which is then sent to the national grid.
West Mercia Waste will run it until 2023, and from that point it will be handed to councils in both counties to carry on operating.
The Conservative leadership has consistently backed the project, saying it is the best value-for-money option as landfill is forecast to be full by around 2024.
It also says other emerging ideas are far riskier as they are yet to be proven.
Councillor Anthony Blagg, the cabinet member for the environment, said: "It provides the best value for money option, will rely on proven technology, and offers long term stability."
