MARK Davies has been given the all-clear to make a return to the Wanderers squad in time for this weekend's clash with Burnley.
The midfielder, who has been sidelined since early December, is now back in full training and could even be considered for a starting berth in the Lancashire derby.
Dougie Freedman had hinted Davies could hit the ground running once he was cleared to return after shoulder surgery – and his condition was such that he was not included in a secret friendly played against the Bailey Academy at Euxton yesterday.
Stuart Holden, pictured, and David Wheater did feature, with Holden coming through his first 90 minutes since returning from long-term injury.
Davies' return certainly offers Dougie Freedman food for thought as he looks to turn a round recent fortunes.
The 24-year-old was in top form before damaging his shoulder ligaments against Huddersfield Town in early December. But the fleet-footed playmaker is confident he can pick up where he left off and provide Freedman with a range of midfield options alongside Darren Pratley, Jay Spearing, Josh Vela, Keith Andrews and new signing Medo Kamara. "I am progressing well and because of the nature of the injury, I have been able to get back to fitness work quite quickly, so I have been able to keep on track with that," he said.
"Obviously there's a difference between match fitness and match sharpness but, hopefully, I won't be too much off the pace when I come back.
"It's always frustrating when you are injured because you want to be out there playing your part. "But the manager has been great with me and I have been well looked after by the medical staff.
"There's real competition for places.
Prats and Jay have been doing well and Josh has come in and shown his quality, while Medo joined us in the transfer window and, of course, we have Keith who's out injured at the moment, and Stuart is coming through too, so we have a real fight on to get in the team. My target is to get back as soon as I can."
The fact Freedman could call on Davies this weekend is a fillip for Wanderers, who hover just three points above the bottom three.
And though the consensus in the camp is still that the Whites should be looking up, and not down, a positive result against the Clarets should go some way to easing fears.
Davies' return would add mobility and bite to a midfield that has looked a little static in recent weeks.
The former Wolves man, who is in the process of agreeing an extended deal at the Reebok, was back in full training with the first-team squad on Monday.
He has been able to continue running despite the injury and the hope is he will be able to go straight into the reckoning.
Holden staked his claim further, coming through the full game against Bailey's – who are a team made up of young players from all over the country looking to secure professional contracts.
Freedman has used Holden sparingly since his return from long-term injury, but hopes the midfielder would complete 90 minutes against Manchester City for the development squad last Friday were hampered when he limped off following a heavy challenge.
The damage was only superficial and after yesterday's runout he could again be used off the bench this weekend.
With changes likely on Saturday, there could also be a full debut for winger Steve de Ridder – who impressed with a late cameo at Watford – and for Medo.
The midfielder, signed on deadline day from FK Partizan, did not play yesterday and has not been in action since the Serbian league went into a three-month winter break at the start of December.
Craig Dawson is another player who could come into the equation, having been an unused substitute at Watford.

Caring for orphans and abandoned children.
Join with us as God's hands and feet bringing help in their time of need.
International Orphan Aid was founded to fund works which establish 'harbors of safety' for orphans and abandoned children in nations around the world.
Our current project is BYKOTA HOUSE, a safe home for orphans and abandoned children and is located in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. BYKOTA HOUSE provides full-time care in a residential family-setting, and supplies the children with all necessities such as nutritional support, access to education, medical and dental care among others.
International Orphan Aid, Inc. is incorporated in the US state of Oklahoma and is registered with the Internal Revenue Service and approved as a tax-exempt, public charity under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Our EIN is #27-2403326. Donor reports are made available for review annually.
International Orphan Aid ensures that employer matched contributions do not fund religious activities such as worship or proselytizing where prohibited.
Join with us as God's hands and feet in bringing help in their time of need.
"Be Ye Kind One To Another"
We invite you to come alongside us in this journey!
BYKOTA HOUSE is a children's home that, unlike an orphanage or an institution, is based on the God-given model of a family. We are blessed to have some of the most precious children in Cambodia set into our family. Several of our children have special physical challenges that make their life much more difficult; requiring special care and nutrition. Visit our YouTube channel to learn more!
"God sets the solitary into families" Psalms 68
BYKOTA HOUSE receives children who have been orphaned through death or abandonment. Children are not refused based on the basis of religion or physical illness or disabilities. Many of our children have extended family members who love them but are not able to take them into their own home and care for them on a permanent basis. We encourage these family relationships to continue and the children often visit their extended family during national holidays and school breaks.
"External religious worship, [religion as it is expressed in outward acts] that is pure and unblemished in the sight of God the Father is this: to visit and help and care for the orphans and widows in their affliction and need" James 1:27a Amplified
BYKOTA HOUSE is a project of International Orphan Aid, a non-profit organization as recognized by the Internal Revenue Service, United States of America. We maintain a Memorandum Of Understanding, MOU, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Cambodia and also an approved project agreement with Cambodia's Ministry of Social Affairs.

Despite having a big year in music, Nicki Minaj didn't receive any Grammy nominations for reasons that's "just between me and them", she says.
"I've gotten tonnes of awards and I believe when it's my time to get a Grammy, I'll get a Grammy," she said with a laugh.
The 30-year-old had one of last year's biggest hits with the multi-platinum dance-pop anthem Starships. Her second album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, has reached gold status and launched other hits on the rap and R&B charts.
But Minaj, who received three Grammy nominations last year, including best new artist and best rap album for her platinum debut, Pink Friday, was shut out when this year's nominations were announced.
"I think that the Grammys had a different reason, that I do not want to discuss ... and that's just between me and them," she said.
"But I respect their organisation and I'll get a Grammy eventually. I'm not worried about it."
A representative for The Recording Academy didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
Minaj was featured on Ludacris' My Chick Bad, which was nominated for a 2011 Grammy Award, before she released her first album.
She was criticised when she released her second album last April for taking on a pop-and-electronic sound that echoed Katy Perry, Rihanna and Ke$ha. Roman Reloaded is a mesh of hip-hop, dance, pop, R&B and reggae flavours, and producers included radio hit makers like RedOne and Dr Luke.
"I understand that artists and critics make a big deal over the Grammys. But when I go to my shows and I'm selling out arenas in London, and when I'm in Australia and Japan, there aren't any Grammys there," she said.
"There are human beings who I've touched. There are human beings who are inspired by me, who I love dearly. And that's what my career is based on."
Minaj who is a new judge on American Idol, which screens on Network Ten, alongside Mariah Carey and Keith Urban, said she would probably be upset if she doesn't earn Grammy respect later in her career.
"You do feel good when you get awards and accolades," she said.
"Maybe if I had been doing this for 10 years and I thought like, 'Oh my god, I've put out 10 albums' - maybe it would have hurt my feelings. But I still feel so new that it's like, 'Charge it to the game'," she said. "It's part of the game."
Australian singer Keith Urban will be one of the presenters at the Grammys, which will be held in Los Angeles on February 10.
Other presenters include Katy Perry, Carly Rae Jepsen, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw.
The five nominees for album of the year will perform at the awards show. The Recording Academy announced that R&B singer Frank Ocean will join Mumford & Sons, The Black Keys, Jack White and fun. on stage. While Alicia Keys and Maroon 5 will join forces for a special performance.
Six acts tie for the most nominations with six each, including Ocean, The Black Keys' Dan Auerbach, Kanye West, Jay-Z, fun. and Mumford & Sons.

In 2007, when my husband Gordon and I started talking about getting married, we wanted to share a ministry. We met at Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Fullerton.
One of the things that happens at Emmanuel is ministry. It's the kind of ministry that develops from the bottom up. If you have a strong desire or calling to minister to the community, you discuss it with the priests and, with their blessing, you move forward.
It turned out Gordon and I had the same calling: a garden in the vacant land at the back of our church property. I called it a community garden and Gordon, being from England, called it an allotment.
We took our ideas to Father Rob and he enthusiastically gave his blessing for our dream. As we talked about our garden idea, it became obvious that a number of people had had the same idea. It had even been tried a couple of times without success.
Our first criterion was that our garden had to be successful. This meant no hard digging, no problems with weeds or burdensome watering chores, and our plants had to grow abundantly. Gordon and I did some experimenting at home with a method of gardening I had heard about called no-dig.
After our first Steering Committee meeting in October 2009, we had some concrete ideas/goals:
• Plant in raised beds: We have very compacted, heavy clay soil, as does most of Fullerton. This kind of clay is very hard to work in. It drains slowly and dries hard as a rock. The answer was raised beds.
• Depend on the no-dig method: As the name indicates, you do not dig into the native soil; you build layers on top. Start with newspapers, followed by hay, then straw, topping off with a layer of compost. In between each layer, sprinkle blood and bone meal (see detailed instructions at right).
• Drip irrigation to each bed: We would install a hose bib and a drip line in each raised bed. Individual gardeners could add a battery-operated timer if desired.
• Wood chips for paths: Pathways and common areas would be mulched with wood chips to keep weeds down and enrich the soil.
• Organic gardening: We would use only organic fertilizers and pest control.
• Compost waste: Compost bins would be made from recycled wood pallets for our waste material.
• Get support from larger community: Our garden was going to be a major project. We would need help. We would talk to people, make phone calls and write letters telling people what we were doing and asking if they would like to help.
As a group, our Steering Committee accepted the challenge to create something beautiful and meaningful where people could express themselves in a different and new way.
Start with a space. A raised bed is ideal but not necessary. Have on hand newspaper (not the shiny ads), alfalfa hay, straw, compost, blood meal, bone meal and a source of water. For an 8-by-4-foot bed, you will need a bale each of hay and straw and three to four bags of compost.
1. Cover your growing area with a layer of newspaper 20 sheets thick. This stops weeds and attracts worms. Dust with blood meal and bone meal and gently saturate with water. We use about 3/4 cup of each fertilizer for an 8-by-4-foot bed.
2. Add a pad of alfalfa hay 4 inches thick, dust with blood and bone meal and water. Bales of hay and straw come apart in 3- to 4-inch-thick pads. Try not to leave any holes between the pads of hay and straw.
3. Next comes 4 inches of straw, again dusted with blood and bone meal and watered. Don't skimp on the alfalfa hay and straw, because they compress by about half in the first couple of months. If you skimp on the amounts, you lose the benefits of water retention and thriving plants.
4. Finally, top off with 3 to 4 inches of compost; add another dusting of blood and bone meal and gently water. You may find that the materials are higher than your raised bed. Don't worry; it will soon start to break down and shrink.
5. Water daily for a week.
6. Plant seedlings and watch your garden grow.

The World Central Kitchen operates in countries affected by humanitarian crisis and chronic food insecurity. It was founded by the internationally known chef and social activist, José Andrés. The creation of WCK was inspired by the a recent collaboration with Solar For Hope providing earthquake relief in Haiti.
Their efforts focus on feeding vulnerable people, supporting the local agricultural economy through local food purchases, and promoting nutritious foods, recipes, and environmentally sustainable cooking fuels and technologies.
News and recent developments
- November 2014: José Andrés discusses solar and efficient cooking in Time Magazine - As part of the "What I'm Thankful For" series, José Andrés explains that he is thankful that his family has a simple and safe method to cook their food, and how solar cooking and other fuel-efficient cooking methods are bringing this benefit to the world's poor, for whom access to traditional cooking fuels is becoming more difficult and expensive every year. Read more...
- December 2013: Chefs at the World Central Kitchen in Haiti show off their new parabolic solar cooker for use at their commercial kitchen.
- November 2012: Solar cooking advocate Manolo Vilchez writes from Spain, that Washington, D.C. celebrity chef and Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves Culinary Ambassador José Andrés visited the country of his birth last August to be honored for his humanitarian and international culinary achievements. While in Spain, Andres demonstrated once again his commitment to solar cooking, which he discovered after a huge snowstorm in Washington, D.C. knocked out power and closed roads for several days in 2010, and Andres discovered that he could cook delicious food in the middle of winter with his parabolic solar cooker. "Cooking food with the solar energy is unsurpassed for the pleasure of using a clean, renewable source of energy," said Andres, while showing his countrymen in Bullas, Murcia, how to cook with an alSol parabolic solar cooker. Andres was fresh from his recent trip to Haiti, where he has trained eighty young people at a school in Fond Verrettes to use the alSol parabolic solar cookers he has brought to Haiti in cooperation with the Spanish NGO CESAL. His students are also learning about other clean cooking systems. The students recently experimented with making espresso using their parabolic solar cookers. Andres, founder of the World Central Kitchen, is also interested in promoting solar food dehydration. He is currently investigating the use of this green energy technology to help Haitians dry fish. AlSol Tecnologias Solares designs, manufactures and distributes solar parabolic cookers and solar food dryers with the development support of Gehrlicher Solar Spain.
- November 2010: Celebrity chef helps in Haiti. This past year José Andrés, an internationally known chef and social activist, has been doing his part to help the people of Haiti. When he had lost power at his own home for a few days, following a severe snowstorm, he discovered the magic of solar cooking. He was amazed how efficiently a parabolic solar cooker, which had been given to him and had sat unused, performed on a cold but cloudless day. In spring 2010 he was part of a team from Solar For Hope, which headed to Haiti to help with earthquake relief. As part of their efforts they distributed parabolic solar cookers and provided training. He feels the parabolic cooker is well-suited to prepare the traditional local fried food recipes. Andrés believes a pressurized cook pot is also a valuable asset to promote with solar cooking. It can shorten cooking times, and provide additional cooking, once the pot is removed from the oven. Listen to a recent interview with José about the project. Inspired by his initial experience in Haiti, José created the World Central Kitchen, a foundation focused on feeding vulnerable people, supporting the local agricultural economy through local food purchases, and promoting nutritious foods, recipes, and environmentally sustainable cooking fuels and technologies. José is returning to Haiti, and the World Central Kitchen, in partnership with Grameen Creative Lab, is planning to build a commercial kitchen with the capacity to feed 10,000 people daily. The goal is to create a sustainable "social business" for the people that have the least. They plan to serve a nearby orphanage, school, hospital, and local residents. Solar cookers will be play a central role in the project.
- April 2010: A Solar For Hope team headed for Haiti to help provide earthquake relief. As part of their efforts, they distributed ten AlSol 1.4 parabolic solar cookers. The package included accessories and equipment for cooking with retained heat, and also workshop training for preparation of indigenous foods. Noted international chef and social activist, Jose' Andre's, was part of the team that also included writers, environmental activists, and members of Engineers Without Borders.

The Bulldogs led by as many as 20 second-half points until Stephen Holt, who poured-in a team-high 23 points, helped pull Saint Mary's within one point late in the latest installment of one of the best rivalries on the West Coast.
Forward Kellyt Olynyk led all scorers with 31 points as Gonzaga improved to 16-1 overall and 3-0 in the West Coast Conference). Saint Mary's fell to 12-4 overall and 1-1 in league play.
The Gaels host longtime Bay Area rival San Francisco Saturday night in an 8 p.m. tipoff at McKeon Pavilion. Tickets are available by calling the SMC Athletic Ticket Office at (925) 631-GoTx or by visiting the tickets link on SMCGaels.com.
After a flurry of shots trimmed Gonzaga's advantage to three at one point, Olynyk's layup put the Bulldogs ahead 76-69 with 3:32 left.
Matthew Dellavedova's 3-pointer cut Gonzaga's lead to 79-76 with 1:15 to go. Olynyk could not score on the other end, but Gonzaga got the ball back on a tie up with 49 seconds left.
Pangos missed with 26 seconds left and Dellavedova was fouled on the other end, making both to cut Gonzaga's lead to 79-78 with 15 seconds left.
Olynyk was fouled on the inbounds play and sank both free throws for an 81-78 lead.
Dellavedova missed a long 3-point attempt with 6.9 seconds left, and the Gaels were forced to foul. Pangos hit two free throws to seal it.
"He has to make shots,'' Saint Mary's coach Randy Bennett said. "No excuses. ... He has to play better than that if we are going to win.''
In the first half, Saint Mary's made only one of its first nine shots while falling behind 9-2. The Gaels fought back to trail by five points, but an 8-2 run gave the Bulldogs a 35-24 lead.
Dellavedova sank a 3-pointer, but after that Saint Mary's made only one field goal in the final 5 minutes of the first half and Gonzaga closed with an 11-1 run to take a 46-28 halftime lead. Olynyk had 17 first-half points (on 8-of-10 shooting) for Gonzaga, which shot 58 percent while holding the Gaels to 31 percent (9 of 29).
"I wasn't very pleased with our first half,'' Bennett said. "I didn't think our bigs competed very well."
Last season, the Gaels beat the Bulldogs to capture both the WCC regular season and tournament titles. The Gaels had won four of their previous seven games against Gonzaga.
The two teams are scheduled for a Valentine's Day rematch in front of a national ESPN2 television audience from McKeon Pavilion. A limited number of tickets remain.

While Leandra may be the biggest cerealphile among us, I always appreciate a good cereal-based dessert. And there's no reason cereal treats need to be confined to Rice Krispies or their crisp rice generic counterparts. Cereal + butter + marshmallows = delicious. Add chocolate to that mix and hello, easy treatland!
Chocolate and peanut butter are a dynamic dessert duo and a proven one in cereal treat form (check out these Scotcharoos). The other day as I was brainstorming easy and different desserts for Super Bowl Sunday, my wheels started spinning, what if you made marshmallowy cereal squares with Peanut Butter Cap'n Crunch? What if you added chocolate? For the sake of science, dear readers, I went there. And if you're looking for a tasty and super easy dessert to make for game day, you'll want to go here, too.

Details of Brantley Gilbert and the Ticket Luck value
Music industry is huge in the United States, and every now and then new artists join in to take part in a never ending race towards success and fame. But very few of them are blessed with such an immense talent that they attract hoards of listeners towards them as soon as they start their career. One example of such extra ordinary performers is Brantley Gilbert.
American country music sensation Brantley Gilbert joined the industry not so long ago, i.e. in 2005 as a singer as well as song writer. His home town is Jefferson, Georgia, and has worked predominantly in country and country rock music. Although he has released only two albums in his short career a yet, the magnitude of his artistic success and fan following has been impressive.
Gilbert was always interested in music as a hobby in his childhood and adolescence, but did not think of becoming a full time performer until he was 19 years old. According to his friends and family, BrantleyGilbert had an accident in his late teens in which he could barely escape. He remained under treatment for a long time and survived the injuries, but the incident served to change his life altogether. After the accident, he was a different man, and believed that he should be doing something more significant with his life. It is said that it was after that accident that he decided to go all out for a career in professional music.
The color of his music is categorized most of the times as country and country rock, but according to some critics his work is beyond the boundaries of genre named country. There is a special wildness about his creations, and the liberty he takes when composing his songs makes them conspicuous and breathtaking. Most of the music lovers believe Brantley Gilbert creates masterpieces every time he creates something.
Initially, Gilbert worked solo, writing his own songs and practicing to perform them to perfection. However, according to his own account, he always wanted to make a band that could provide country listeners with the unique music they always deserved, and bring his dream of a world class band to life. The dream band that he always wanted to make, according to Gilbert, was one that could perform equally well in country, soul as well as rock music, and was altogether different from all those operating at present. Nevertheless, his dream of making a band was never completed until recently when he joined Valory Music Group.
Like every great artist, Gilbert also had to face many difficulties in his early life as a musician. He started his professional career at his home town, but soon moved to Nashville, where he believed his artistic capabilities could flourish even better. He also made a record label deal with Warner Chappell Publishing for the label Average Joe's Entertainment. His work there was mostly in collaboration with the renowned artists Jason Aldean and Colt Ford.
Brantley Gilbert released his first album in 2009 that was originally scheduled to be released in 2006. The title was Modern Day Prodigal Son, and the recording company decided not to release it in 2006 at the eleventh hour. It took the artist about 3 more years to have the album released finally. His second album titled Halfway to Heaven was released the next year i.e. in 2010. Both the albums returned critically and commercially positive feedback. After the release of his second album, he signed a deal with Valory Music Group division of Big Machine Records, and released Halfway to Heaven again as a deluxe edition.
Many of his songs have reached top positions on country music charts, including Country Must Be Country Wide that was featured at number one position on Hot Country Songs charts. Artists like Brantley Gilbert are an asset for the music industry, and Brantley Gilbert tickets provide you with a chance to witness the great artist performing his masterpieces!

I finally found a way to fix my WLAN on an EeePC, by reinstalling ath9k from an old compat-wireless release as described here:
Linux on the EeePC 1001p: Fixing wireless
However, it only works after:
If I 'networking start' with the ath9k pre-loaded by the kernel, I get a "wlan0: no such device" error.Code:rmmod ath9k modprobe ath9k /etc/init.d/networking start
This feels like there still is an old version of the ath9k driver on my computer which gets loaded by the kernel on boot time.
How would I find out if there are two drivers installed, and what tells the kernel which ath9k to load when booting?
OK, 'dmesg|grep ath9k' gives me a line that says "Failed to initialize device".
Although, 'modprobe ath9k; /etc/init.d/networking start' does not work. I really have to 'rmmod ath9k; modprobe ath9k' to get it to work.
Very weird.

This is a very tossed-together Black Forest Cake, or, as I like to say when I am too lazy to bring out the piping bag and tips, it's "rustic." It has all the components of the classic German torte, but without the fuss. Layers of dark chocolate cake are sandwiched with fresh whipped cream and sweet cherries spiked with kirschwasser ("cherry water," or clear sour cherry brandy). These flavors are among the most celebrated combinations in the history of pastry making — and for good reason. This swoon-worthy homemade version of the cake is super-fast and easy to put together.
Rustic Black Forest Cake Recipe (aka Cherry Chocolate Cake)
Yield: 12 servings
Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Inactive Prep Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 2 hours 5 minutes (includes cooling times)
Skill: Easy
Chocolate Cake
Unsalted butter, for greasing
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder (it doesn't seem to make a difference if you use natural or Dutch process), sift if lumpy
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1 egg white
3/4 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup hot coffee
1/4 cup rum or brandy (if you opt out of the booze, use more coffee)
Cherry Filling and Topping
3 cups fresh or frozen sweet dark cherries, pitted (if you are using fresh cherries, add 1/4 cup water)
2 tablespoons kirschwasser or brandy
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
Whipped Cream
2 cups whipping cream
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and prepare two 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper and butter.
Combine the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl and whisk until combined, set aside. Whisk together eggs, buttermilk, oil and vanilla until well combined. Add the egg mixture to the dry ingredients and whisk until smooth. Slowly add the hot coffee and rum to the batter and whisk until totally blended and smooth, about 2 minutes. The batter will be quite runny.
Divide the batter into the prepared pans and bake for about 25 minutes or until set when tested with a toothpick. Cool completely.
Place the cherries and kirsch in a saucepot. Whisk together the sugar and cornstarch in a small bowl, then add to the cherries.
Add the sugar mixture to the cherries and cook over low heat until the cherries come to a boil and the liquid thickens and is transparent, about 10 minutes. If you are using fresh cherries, you will want to cook them until the fruit is slightly tender.
Transfer to a bowl and cool to room temperature.
To assemble the cake: Whip the cream, powdered sugar and vanilla to stiff peaks.
Place one layer of the cake on a serving platter.
Spread half of the whipped cream over the top.
Distribute half the cherries over the cream.
Repeat with the next layers of cake, cream and cherries.
Serve the cake immediately or place it in the refrigerator.

Warrior who rolls with the punchesStathi Paxinos and Adam Cooper
Published: November 21 2012 - 3:00AM
- LIVE COVERAGE FROM 7PM: Join Simon White for live updates from the Green Machine v Mountain Warrior fight night at Melbourne's Hisense Arena.
DANNY Green says there are many things that people do not realise about his career, which is approaching its final round.
Green will on Wednesday night fight New Zealander Shane Cameron for the International Boxing Organisation cruiserweight title at Hisense Arena and when reflecting on his 11-year professional career, with a 32-5 record, he revealed the challenges that he has overcome to keep returning to the ring.
''I've excelled at something I've loved but nothing's been given to me in the sport,'' Green said. ''I've taken it. I've taken them by the balls and had a go, taken risks and punts the whole way through.
''I mortgaged my house for Roy Jones jnr to get him out here. No one knows the risks I've taken as a promoter because the risk is on me. I'm the one footing the bill.
''I've fought through countless injuries, career-ending injuries. I've had two broken bones in my back in 2005, [when] I got punched when I was sparring in Los Angeles against [former world light heavyweight champion] Julio Gonzalez. I've had a lot of broken bones, broken noses, broken ribs, both hands are shattered, broken jaw twice, two broken eye sockets, neck disc bulges, lower back disc bulges, the list goes on [but] I'm still here, I'm still kicking and still competing at the top level.''
But Green, now 39, admits that may not be for much longer. Having already returned from a short-lived retirement in 2008, he sees a time when his life is not dictated by the boxing ring.
He said it was times like Wednesday's fight against Cameron, who has a 29-2 record, that reminds him of why he was still fighting.
''I'm cool and calm. I've worked hard so I'm in a good place mentally and it's exciting,'' Green said. ''This is the rush, this is the high. Some people have drugs, this is the high for me, feeling this good is the natural high.''
Cameron will also enter the bout after a period of self-sacrifice, having shed eight kilograms to meet the weight of 89 kilograms - 1.7 kilos lighter than the usual maximum for the cruiserweight division - for his first tilt at a world title.
Cameron, 35, is a natural heavyweight and has fought at 108 kilograms, so has paid strict attention to six meals a day totalling 2500 calories for the past eight weeks, while sparring his way through 80 rounds.
His dietician last week advised him to eat more to boost his energy and on Tuesday, after hearing Green boast of ''pancakes, orange juice, bananas, coffee'' before stepping on the scales, insisted he had sufficient fuel in his system.
''I feel strong, very strong,'' said Cameron, who expected to add close to five kilograms after weigh-in.
''I haven't been starving the body, either. He goes on about what he had for breakfast but he doesn't know what I had for breakfast, either. I had omelette and toast. I'm good.''
Cameron is eager for a shot at a big name, with potential bigger benefits, to make him the first New Zealand-born professional boxer in more than a century to win a world title.
''A victory [here] would put me in the driving seat,'' he said.
''I'd be in a position of strength … bargaining power, everything, a lot stronger. I would be world champion and have a lot of big things come up.''
The pair engaged in a staring contest at the media event with Green looking calm during proceedings. He said Cameron told him: ''Let's see what you've got.''
''I was close enough to smell that he uses peppermint toothpaste so I'm happy he had the respect to brush his teeth before he came to the weigh-in,'' Green said. ''I just said 'I'm here, mate'.''

FINGAL Bay was the only highlight of the day, delivering as expected albeit via a photo finish.
However my other selections on day three didn't threaten Paddy Power's pockets.
Vukovar never got going, Tap Night was pulled up while Indian Castle faded at the last.
So it's another day without any profit and, to top it off, as designated driver I couldn't even drown my sorrows.
On to Gold Cup day and I'm to hoping to rise to the occasion and finally deliver the goods.
TODAY'S SELECTIONS (A each way Yankee today)
GUITAR PETE (The Triumph Hurdle): Unlike the rest of us this four-year-old has improved as he has aged. He's won his last two starts quite impressively, both in good races at Leopardstown. Trained by shrewd Irish handler Dessie Hughes, Guitar Pete is sure to be 'tuned up' for the most important race of his career!
KINGS PALACE (The Albert Bartlett Hurdle): David Pipe's six-year-old enjoys the undulations of Cheltenham, having won there in October and December last year. He is a consistent sort with four wins and a second from his six starts. Pipe has been glowing in his praise for Kings Palace during recent interviews, and the stable enjoyed a winner on the opening day of the Festival, so it is in pretty good form. Hopefully after the race we'll be singing 'Long live the King'!
PEARLY STEPS (The Foxhunters Chase): This race is for amateur riders on horses who usually ply their trade on 'point to point' courses. These horses are often at the veteran stage of their careers. Pearly Steps is an 11-year-old who won his last outing, at Towcester in January, by an impressive 34 lengths. He is trained by Henry Daly, who often does well with this type of horse. My 'pearl of wisdom' is an each way bet!
JUNCTION FOURTEEN (Conditionals Handicap Hurdle): Junction 14 to some Swindon people might mean the Hungerford junction of the M4, but to me Junction Fourteen is a 'dark horse' who could pay large dividends in my final bet of the week. Trained by Emma Lavelle and ridden by Cheltenham veteran Richard Johnson, this five-year-old gelding won at Kempton in December and Fontwell in November, and looks to have a solid each way chance. Hopefully this nag will take us on the 'road to riches'

HOUSTON - A teenager has been accused of stealing gifts from a northwest Harris County car.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office said several suspects stole Christmas gifts from an unlocked vehicle in the 10300 block of Crimson Canyon on Tuesday.
A woman said her husband spotted someone getting out of her car and jump into a waiting Chevy Tahoe nearby. Her husband followed the vehicle and got a partial license plate number.
A deputy pulled over the Tahoe at Battlecreek and Millbrook and took the three suspects back to the scene. The victim made a positive identification, officials said, and several of the stolen presents were found inside the Tahoe.
Guillermo Lozada, 17, was charged with burglary of a motor vehicle. A second suspect, a juvenile, was also charged with burglary of a motor vehicle. The third person was not charged and released.

Adjustable Olympic Dumbbell Handle
What is the sound of
one arm lifting?
Is it the sound of a grinding shoulder?
I hope not.
I hope all those dumbbell snatches are being done with tools that rotate, but I know they are not. Solid non-rotating equipment can be fun, but for some lifts, it can also cause real pain. Trust me, that is not a sound you don't want to hear.
One hand explosive lifts, just like the two handed lifts, can be done with old school non-rotating tools. Of course, there is a proper technique you have to learn. Basically, you have to let go of the dumbbell, rotate your hand and then re-grip it. It sounds easy, until you try it with limit type weights, whether it's your 1 RM, or just your last rep of a limit set. Once you hear that grinding, the damage is done. The next question is, how bad is the damage?
Rotating Olympic Dumbbells are a fairly easy solution to that problem.
Just like with an Olympic barbell, you never loosen your grip during the lift. Bingo! You have eliminated one more variable in your training.
I have heard it said that it doesn't matter what kind of bar you lift on, if you are really strong. Which, of course, is a load of BS. It is very simple, do dumbbell snatches with rotating dumbbells and you will:
- lift more;
- do it more consistently;
- and have a much lower risk of injury.
Hmmm... Would I like to lift heavier weights AND have a lower chance of injury in my back, rotator cuff, elbow or wrist?
Dumbbell snatches are great. Use the right tool.
Live strong,
The Adjustable Olympic Dumbbell Handle has lubricated bronze bushings for nice Olympic bar style rotation - fantastic for one hand snatches! These ends actually rotate.
Total Length: 20 3/8"
Grip Length: 5 3/16"
Handle Diameter: 1.03" (Chrome Plated 1" Stock)
Loading Length per Side: 7"
Weight: 10.6 lbs.
Takes only Olympic Plates (2" Plate Hole Diameter)
We recommend the heavier duty Spin Lock Collars for heavier weights. See the Recommended Items list to the left.
Check our YouTube Channel:
Roger did a Review of this Olympic Dumbbell Handle and Does a nice One Hand Dumbbell Snatch with it.
Does not include weights.
"It's a work of art! Once you use one, you will never use an immobile (non-rotating) dumbbell again. It's enough to fight gravity, you don't need to also fight your equipment. This is like using a short Olympic bar. It's great."

One of the many purposes of the terribly confusing fashion season known as pre-fall, which began presentations last week and extends until mid-January and which hits stores around June, is — even more confusingly — to feed the voracious maw that is the Hollywood red carpet during awards season. Yesterday the Golden Globe nominations come out, in front of the actual awards in January, and earlier this week the SAG short list was announced. Stylists everywhere are gearing up. Here are my bets on some of their picks.

Very nice, clean rooms. For the price, it's worth it. Good location. Staff didn't speak English. No breakfast available and no parking lot (as promised online). Although bathroom was really nice, the shower is working on some weird button and after pressing it, water runs only 10 seconds.
Not much really - what you would expect for the money and nothing more. Location terrible, well out of town on busy dual carriageway in the middle of nowhere. Tram lines ripped up for engineering work. Is long walk from Modrice railway station despite what the map shows as you have take 25 minute detour across bridge to cross the tracks!
The hotel is good for that price!Staff is friendly and luxury rooms are good for accommodation! The water in bathroom is strange!You must push the some kind of button to let the water flow and after 10-15 seconds..again and again!
The adress, given in your internet page (I mean booking.com page) is wrong. So we roamed
Bed. They dont have place for the breakfast (serving in room nomber 001) like we are animals, and dont have any information about the city. You have to pay before you even see the room.
No parking place during my trip (parking place was closed for reconstruction); Only one kind of water available in the room neither cold nor warm; Strange system for open/close water; No service in room.
Good, clean. spartan accommodation at an affordable price. Proximity to the urban tram system is the great advantage for this out of city cenytre hotel.


text: This is the perfect dessert to whip out whenever you hear someone saying healthy food is bland tasting. It is just as indulgent and comforting as the original, only far better for you. So whether you are celebrating thanksgiving on Thursday or just looking for an excuse to indulge, cosy down with this gloriously 'guilt-free' pecan pie.

Reflections on AASECT 2012: Synergy
In the down time since April, we keep-up the conversation about sex, sexuality and preventing violence. But, it doesn't quite look like this: three days, hundreds of professionals, hours upon hours of talking sex, sex, sex. Now before you go jumping to conclusions, I'm talking about the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT) annual conference. Last week I had the opportunity to participate and present at AASECT 2012: Synergy, where individuals with varied expertize gathered to discuss human sexuality from every angle and perspective.
Now let me out myself a little here, I participated in this conference as a stealth outsider. For three days of workshops, I sat next to inspiring sexuality educators and bumped elbows with authors, researchers and practitioners focusing on synergy in the field. All the while, I made efforts not to let a single sign betray the truth: I was no sexologist, and in fact, my understanding of human sexuality is decidedly average. (Yes, I learned everything I know from google and a few richer morsels from word of mouth.)
So how does a preventionist like me wind up in a place like this? Lucky for me, the great minds of AASECT have an interest in partnering to prevent sexual violence, and they really dig the fact that folks in sexual violence prevention see healthy sexuality as a key approach. You see, similar to the movement to end sexual violence, this group also accesses a history of working hard to change social norms and bridge gaps in public understanding. In fact, the barriers to talking about good, safe sex nearly parallel the road blocks to starting the conversation about the root causes of sexual violence: topics seen as taboo, off-limits and actions perceived as individual responsibilities. We also share common goals like empowering individuals with resources and information, equipping communities with tools and skills and motivating society toward a brighter future.
Despite these many common threads, our work has often existed in separate spheres, and this does not honor the great work of either party. With a great partner, Alison Bellavance, M. Ed., from the sexuality education field, I had the opportunity to co-present a two-hour workshop: "Making Connections: The Intersection between Healthy Sexuality & Sexual Violence Prevention." The content of our presentation covered sexual violence, healthy sexuality as primary prevention and strategies for incorporating both topics in one's work. In many ways, the true goal of the presentation was to embody the "connection" discussed in our presentation, and to highlight SAAM 2012 as a real world example of the potential impact of collaborating between fields and building more partnerships.
The word synergy has always bugged me a little (Doesn't it sound a little silly?), but post-AASECT 2012, I've decided to give the term a second chance. Synergy is when two or more things joining together results in something not independently obtainable, and it was an important and title theme at AASECT 2012. Reflecting on the vast information, resources and energizing individuals that I encountered at AASECT, as both a presenter and participant, I think it's safe to say synergy happened. More importantly, the value of synergy between our two fields proved its potential in real-time, and I'm not sure who to warn, sexual violence preventioneers or healthy sexuality pioneers (is there really even a difference?), that I don't think I can turn back. So here's to moving forward!

Watch Sun TV Mahabharatam 15.03.15 Serial Mahabharadham 15/03/15 Latest Today Episode 106 Online.
Synopsis: Mahabharatham presents the story of the throne of Attinapuram, the kingdom ruled by the Kuru clan. The Kauravargal and the Pandavagal branches compete for rulership. Although the Kauravagal is the senior branch of the family, Duryodhanan, the eldest Kauravagal, is younger than Yudhisthira, the eldest Pandava. Both Duryodhana and Yudhisthira claim to be first in line to inherit the throne.
When Bhishmar asked for Gandhari's hand for marriage for Dhritarashtran; Shakuni was furious. Though later he agreed; he promised himself that he would destroy The Kuru Race. He sowed the seeds of the climactic battle of Kurukshetra during the boyhood days of the Kauravas and Pandavas by poisoning the mind of Duryodhana against the Pandavas. The struggle culminates in the Kurukshetra War. The battle produces conflicts of kinship and friendship, and instances of family loyalty and duty taking precedence over what is right.

The USS Okinawa was a 24th century Federation starship operated by Starfleet.
The Okinawa was Benjamin Sisko's assignment prior to his posting on the USS Saratoga. On the Okinawa, Sisko was promoted to lieutenant commander and received the position of executive officer under the command of Captain Leyton. The Okinawa saw action in the Tzenkethi War.
On one occasion, the Okinawa encountered three Tzenkethi raiders, which then fled into a nearby asteroid belt. Commander Sisko told Captain Leyton it was risky to pursue them, but was overruled by his commanding officer. In 2372, Sisko admitted that going after the Tzenkethi was the right thing to do. (DS9: "Homefront", "Paradise Lost")
The Star Trek Encyclopedia (2nd ed., pp. 336, 474) stated that this vessel was an Excelsior-class starship, with a registry of NCC-13958. The book further noted that the Okinawa was named after the Japanese island in the East China Sea.
The non-canon computer game Star Trek: Legacy also shows the Okinawa being an Excelsior-class vessel, however in a configuration similar to the USS Enterprise-B or the USS Lakota, along with the USS Berlin.

AN ACCRINGTON woman has been found guilty of a £20,000 benefits fraud.
Shabina Nawaz, 31, claimed income support, housing benefit and council tax benefit, totalling £21,794. However an investigation led by Hyndburn Council discovered she had assets of £55,000.
Ms Nawaz, of Kingston Avenue, Accrington made claims for benefits while hiding from the authorities that she owned a terraced house on Buxton Street in Accrington.
In sentencing her at Burnley Crown Court, she was found guilty and sentenced to six months in prison, suspended for 18 months. She was also ordered to carry out 100 hours of community service.
A Proceeds of Crime hearing is also expected to take place in the New Year looking into whether Ms Nawaz has profited from claiming fraudulently. If the hearing rules that she has it will examine whether she has assets which can be seized to repay the amount taken.
Hyndburn Council's fraud team led the investigation into Ms Nawaz's circumstances. They examined whether she was entitled to claim housing benefit and council tax benefit and worked in partnership with the DWP to investigate her claims for income support.
Hyndburn's cabinet member for finance Joan Smith said: "We have a tough attitude to benefit cheats and have no hesitation in taking people to court wherever necessary to protect the majority of honest council tax payers in the borough."
A spokeswoman for the DWP said: "Benefit thieves are costing the taxpayer almost £1billion per year. This money is intended to help those most in need not line the pockets of criminals.
"We will continue to tackle this problem at the frontline but also at the root by reforming the benefits system to make it less open to abuse."

Hello Robert,
I just finished reading your column and it reminded me of a project of mine. I don't know if you have been asked this before but we have slatted patio cover that extends out 9 feet and is 9 feet wide. We were thinking about putting some plywood down and use it as a sun deck. What size thickness of plywood would you recommend for an 81 square foot deck? Thank you,
Paul K.
Hi Paul,
If you have an open slatted patio, then you probably have basic 1′ x 1′ footings in the ground. This will by no means strong enough for a deck. You've got to consider not only the dead load which is the additional weight of the flooring, waterproofing system, and handrails which you would need up there, but also have to account for the live load or people that will access the space.
You're not quite ready for buying plywood just yet. The first step would be to get a contractor out there that knows what he is doing. He's going to have to dig up those footings to verify the sizes because I doubt with an open slatted overhang that you would have adequate footings to support a deck.
Dear Robert,
My home is on a hillside. I have four floors and three of them are set into the hill which gives us a really strong musty smell especially if the house is closed over a long weekend. It's almost overpowering. The lower level is the worst. We've tried air fresheners and have cleaned the ducts. The home is spotless but there is a constant smell that we can't get out.
We have not found any leaks. We even had someone remove part of the lower level wall to look for and he assured us the wall was not leaking. Please let me know if you have any suggestions! Sincerely,
Lachele P.
Hi Lachele,
That is just the nature of the beast. There are not a lot of options available with subterranean living. You're below grade with either a poured foundation or precision block.
I do have one recommendation. It's not an overnight fix but it will help if you do have crawl spaces in your home. What you smell is a combination of stagnant air and damp earth. You can bring in some circulation by installing attic gable fans which will also help dry the moisture from the ground.
I worked at a property in Woodland Hills many years ago. They were some high-end condos that were up against a hill. The residents complained of the identical problem you are describing. The resolve was the installation of gable vents and attic fans in the crawl spaces.
I put the fans on mechanical timers so they would cycle on during the day and off at night due to noise. The fans would pull fresh air from the outside which would then circulate and exit through the vents. After about six months of those fans running seven days a week, the earth started drying out to where 80% of the smell had dissipated.

IT was the most impressive parade in many years, according to the organisers of this weekend's Tadcaster carnival.
The annual celebration went ahead on Sunday afternoon, starting with a parade through the town and entertainments including bands, dance performances and even a dog show were set to stretch into the evening.
The day started when fire brigade led the traditional parade and were followed through the town by floats from schools and community groups, local performers the Travelling Band, and Sam Smith's traditional heavy horse pulled dray, this year in their full formal dray.
Carnival chairman Nick Brown said: "It was fantastic. Near the brewery the crowds were six deep watching the parade and we had a lot more walking floats this year which means more people can be involved."
Taking part for the first time this year was Riverside Community Primary School, with the cast of the leavers show the Pirates of Penzance, and even a heavy rainstorm in the middle of the afternoon could not stop the celebrations.

Maureen Behrs excited about traveling with SMWC group in Ireland
February 9th, 2010 | SMWC
For Maureen Behrs, wife of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College President David G. Behrs, part of the appeal of the upcoming trip to Ireland is the anticipation of sharing the experience with Woods alumnae and others.
Mrs. Behrs, who prefers to be called "Maureen," said that because of her husband's tenure as the 15th president of the College, her life has been enriched by all the opportunities to meet people who are warm and welcoming.
"I really enjoy hearing stories about The Woods. I've been very impressed with the alums that we've met and I'm inspired by their accomplishments. Everyone that we've had the chance to spend time with has been amazing," she said. "I'm assuming that it will be the same kind of experience on the trip to Ireland. I'm very excited."
Mrs. Behrs was in the fourth grade when she declared her intention to be a teacher. After almost 27 years of teaching first-grade, her enthusiasm hasn't waned. "I love what I do. It's always been that way," she said. "After our daughters were between six- and eight-weeks old, I went back to work. There's never been a question for me that teaching is what I was meant to do."
Now those daughters, Beth, age 24, who is pursuing a career in film, and Emily, 17, who is in her senior year of high school, are involved in new explorations or on the verge of them. The same is true for Mrs. Behrs. The summer trip to Ireland will be a first-time experience for her. "I haven't had the opportunity to travel outside of the United States," she said. "For me, this trip will be a wonderful adventure!"
She's no stranger, however, to luggage, travel, new places and cultural adaptation. Before Dr. Behrs was chosen in 2007 as the first lay man to be president of SMWC, his service in higher education meant the Behrs family lived in university communities on both the east and west coasts of the U.S.
Mrs. Behrs' interest in other cultures also stems from her college experiences. She graduated in 1983 from Shippensburg University in Pennsylvania and began teaching that same year. "All my education courses were my favorites," she recalled. Also, her study of Spanish and her college minor in multicultural education were a natural fit for her passion for teaching and her interest in people. She's continued educating herself about a variety of cultures over the years "in order to be sensitive to my students' needs."
During her undergraduate college days, she tutored children of migrant workers whose parents harvested fruit in the area. In fact, a basket of peaches that the children gave to her played a role in her first date with David Behrs, who then was working on his master's in counseling and student personnel.
While working as a waitress in a local restaurant near the college, she crossed paths with David Behrs. She declined his invitation to a party, explaining that she felt a little awkward about attending an event where she knew no one. But, a week or so later, he again issued an invitation, this time the offer of a bicycle ride. She was a woman without a bicycle, but she had fresh peaches, a gift from the children she tutored. Those peaches, accompanied by ice cream and conversation, launched a relationship.
Mrs. Behrs grew up with two sisters and one brother in a suburban area northwest of Baltimore, Maryland. Her mother, who is now retired, taught 2nd through 8th grades in Catholic schools. Although Mrs. Behrs has served as a religious education teacher on occasion, her professional teaching career has been served solely in public school systems.
First-grade is a very fulfilling time to be in young person's experience, she said. "I love the magic that happens with that age!" That doesn't mean that some days aren't rougher than others. But the rewards of teaching reading and math concepts are indescribable, she said. "It's just magical."
As for her own reading preferences, Mrs. Behrs said, "I lately tend to read more for pleasure. I enjoy stories that have strong female characters and stories that deal with women's issues and friendships." One of her favorite popular authors is Maeve Binchy, who was born in Ireland and lives there still, in Dalkey, about 10 miles from Dublin — "I'm a huge fan of hers," said Mrs. Behrs. She also enjoys books by Jodi Picoult and books in which faith traditions are central to the plot.
High on Mrs. Behrs' personal reading list at the moment is "Galway Bay" by SMWC alumna Mary Pat Kelly '67. Reading about Ireland and Irish-Americans and reading stories that are set in Ireland will continue to be pleasure-filled preparation for the upcoming trip, she said.
"I'm excited about the Ireland tour and I'm really looking forward to getting to know the people who will be sharing the experience with David and me," she said.
Learn how you can join Maureen and David Behrs on their trip to Ireland.


text: A German composer of romantic music in many forms, including piano pieces, orchestral music, and lieder. Among his notable works are the Davidsbündlertänze (1837), Dichterliebe (1840), and the Quintet in E-flat for Piano & Strings. From his early years, Schumann spoke of the piano as a diary for his thoughts and feelings. Later, while establishing the fundamentals for the journalistic criticism of music in his Neue Zeitschrift für Musik ("New Journal for Music"), he seems to have continued that relationship with all the forms in which he composed. Many of his songs, song cycles, and piano works are collections of musical characterizations, which, like the Kinderszenen ("Scenes from Childhood") and Waldszenen ("Scenes from the Woods"), are often humorous. In his more dramatic works the meaning is often personal and elusive, with a hidden "program," although often passionately beautiful. Schumann's symphonies, neglected for a long time, are now appreciated for the many innovative qualities of their melody and form. ~ Blue Gene Tyranny

Wimbledon Cricket Club are in double daydream heaven after an emphatic victory in the National Club T20 finals at Edgbaston last night in front of the Sky TV cameras.
The Church Road-based side added the one-day silverware to the Surrey Championship Premier Division title they won two weeks ago.
Last night's man of the match and Wimbledon skipper Neil Turk praised his team for their all round performance on a day when many were playing under lights for the first time.
After beating Cuckney from Nottinghamshire in the semi-finals by 17 runs, Wimbledon took on Liverpool-based outfit Northern in the final and they showed the Merseysiders no mercy.
Darren Hooey (3-28), Will Leith (2-11) and Turk (2-8, including a possible hat-trick) strangled the Northern attack to just 90 all out in 19.1 overs.
Then, in a controled reply, Turk (30) and Graham Grace (32) guided Wimbledon to the promised land with 3.4 overs remaining.
Afterwards Turk said: "We felt confident chasing 90 but in the back of our minds was a game we lost a few weeks ago when we needed 20 with six wickets in hand. But 90, the fact it was below 100 was good psychologically for us.
"We've built our whole season around team performances rather than individuals and we had to be on our game today and fortunately we were.
"Our bowlers have been superb, they are a really hard working bunch and we have such a high-powered bowling attack, which is something we haven't seen in other leagues. I am hoping they don't leave and go somewhere else next year," he added.
Wimbledon host Normandy in their final game of the league season on Saturday.

Hi I'm Jacques Vrolijk a Local SEO Expert providing London based businesses with a performance based SEO service. I understand you want to know what my SEO services would cost you. The thing is that depends on the amount of keywords you would like to rank for and the size and strength of the competition for those keywords. So instead of me working this out just to give you a quote: Let me show you where your site is failing you and more importantly why your competition is ranking so much better and what needs to be done to beat the competition and get high on page one of Google.
Let's make you more Profit
Most likely you are looking for SEO to get higher ranking that should result in more traffic and when all is correct more leads which should result in more sales, am I right? That is one of the reasons why I focus more on the end results that I can deliver: Leads! Instead of only looking at increasing your rankings. Having a high ranking website in Google is a great asset and a good SEO specialist should be able to get you there, the only thing is that if your site is not optimised for conversion you are leaving money on the table or even worse.
Lead Generation & SEO
Most SEO services stop a ranking a website if they actually are able to do that. Most businesses are only after SEO because when done well you have more exposure which should means more traffic and when your website is set up correctly it should result in more leads. This is where things tend to go wrong: The website, with all respect to web designers (used to be one myself) most web designers and developers are after good looking and functioning websites. Marketing is not one of their strong points and making sure a website produces as much leads as possible is something that they usually know little about.
Getting a website ranked high in Google only makes sense if that website will actually result in more business. I offer High end SEO packages that make sure your site is optimised for generating leads or if your site has more purposes than lead generation separate Lead Generation sites can be set up.
Ways of Doing SEO
There are many ways of doing Search Engine Optimisation, some use dirty techniques that work really well, they just come with the risk that one day your site might be pushed down a few pages or even penalised by the search engines and get de-indexed, meaning it ends up on the search engines blacklist and no longer show in any result. Then there are evergreen ways of SEO some give quick results and some take a long time. When shopping around to find the right SEO Expert you need some basic knowledge of SEO. For this purpose I have a SEO start guide with a Check list that helps you to compare the Experts.
So what is Local SEO?
If you are Googleing for: "SEO expert London" then than shows you are looking to be served by a local company. Local Search Engine Optimisation is about attracting clients to businesses that serve their local community. And with the search engines providing different information for local searches than general search queries a successful Local SEO strategy is different from a Global SEO strategy. The most notable difference is with Google+ Local, the old Google Places. For instance if you are looking for an "Accountant in London" (SERP picture) the following result would show up.
Composed out of AdWords (PPC), the Google + Local listing and the Organic Search results. on average The Google + Local listing will receive most of the clicks. The result of this is that a focus on normal SEO will give a lower Return on Investment. Getting fewer visitors that are harder to convert. Combine SEO SEM, Local SEO and Reputation Marketing together and you are talking about (Search Engine Result Page) SERP Domination, Showing to prospects that your business is the business of choice and pushing competition from the first page.
Is your business selling Locally?
This is the first question you should ask yourself when looking for a SEO service as the off page SEO (link building) strategy is/should different. Especially when combining with more advanced services like reputation management you should know that the Search engines know where links and likes come from and the smart search engines like Google know there is no logic for a plumber in London to be used by someone in India? Even if your SEO expert is hiding behind a proxy (IP address cover that makes sites thing you call in from eg. Birmingham instead of Delhi) it still is tricky as the Search Engines know that these IP address are proxies and not real addresses.
Your Local SEO expert.
How Local should my Local SEO consultant be? It helps when your expert does not have to hide behind proxies and when they truly are Local. The Thing is the Google actually does not care that much if someone in Nottingham is talking about a business in London, in a American perspective, that is still Local. The thing where a Local expert really does help is the Local borough knowledge for the initial keyword research especially in a city the size of London. As a someone based in Isle of Dogs that is looking for a beauty salon might search for: Beauty Salon London, Beauty salon isle of dogs, Beauty Salon Tower of Hamlets, Beauty Salon Poplar or look on the map directly and skip Google search all together. A good UK based SEO specialist should at least have the knowledge of these difficulties as even with backlink building aiming for the right keywords is paramount.
Guaranteed page ranking, can it be done?
Who does not like a guarantee, right. That is why it is sold so often, just to lock in a sale. The thing with SEO is that there are only 10 spots on the first page in the organic search result and in most cases there are at least over 50 businesses that want to be on that first page. Some niches are highly competitive which results in a battle of the SEO's . A race to the top in a marathon without a finish. How can anyone give a guarantee in a case like that? If it is a "pay after results" guarantee you might end up without paying and without results, or worse a desperate SEO'er might throw more dirty black hat techniques in the game just for the sake of ranking a site within 2 weeks so he can be paid, not caring if the site get slap by the search engines later on. If you have had bad experiences in the past with SEO and still would like something of a guarantee I do offer a package that is risk free called:Zero Risk SEO.
How to hire me as your SEO consultant.
Expecting you to shop around, to find an expert you are happy with, I have tried to make it as easy as possible to see if my approach to Search Engine Optimisation, the safest form out there, fits with you. Finding the right SEO for your business can be a difficult. That is why I have a downloadable pdf guide in which I explain my methods and it also comes with an nice check list to compare my skills and services with other SEO consultants.
Why no fixed pricing?
As every business is different and every niche has a different marketing budget, good SEO can not be a set service and thus can not have a set price. Competition comes in different weight classes the same is with marketing and SEO which can be compared with a marathon without a finish. Only after an SEO Audit enough data is gathered, to see what is needed to Rank a website and keep it in the top. Jacques is a big believer of win-win scenarios and makes sure to match the SEO services to a budget that is comfortable.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Noted paleoanthropologist Richard Leakey says scientific discoveries may soon make the debate over evolution a part of history.
The Kenyan-born scientist serves as a professor at Stony Brook University on New York's Long Island. He just spent a month in New York raising funds for his Turkana Basin Institute. He also helped promote a National Geographic documentary airing on PBS this month about his work at Turkana Basin in Kenya.
A fundraiser for the institute collected $2 million. His friend Paul Simon was the guest performer.
Leakey says the institute welcomes scientists, including students from Stony Brook, to Turkana to help unearth the origins of mankind.
He says he has no patience for those who deny the existence of evolution. He insists that within 15 to 30 years, skeptics will have to concede the evidence is overwhelming.
