Gary Barlow and his wife are mourning the loss of their baby daughter.
In a statement issued through his agent, the couple said their baby, Poppy, was delivered stillborn in London on Saturday.
Take That star Gary's wife Dawn was eight months pregnant. On July 5, the singer and X Factor judge tweeted that Poppy was due to be born in seven weeks' time.
In the statement, Gary said: "Dawn and I are devastated to announce that we've lost our baby. Poppy Barlow was delivered stillborn on August 4 in London. Our focus now is giving her a beautiful funeral and loving our three children with all our hearts. We'd ask at this painful time that our privacy be respected."
The 41-year-old had previously spoken about how he was looking forward to becoming a father for the fourth time with his wife, a 42-year-old dancer. Speaking at the time, he told fans: "We are a very excited family."
In April, Gary, already a father to Daniel, Emily and Daisy, wrote on Twitter: "There's gonna be another girl in the Barlow household!" He was recently asked by a fan on the website how Dawn was, and replied: "gr8 tanx, 7 weeks to go."
In June he was crowned celebrity dad of the year.
Friends and colleagues of the singer expressed their condolences to the Barlow family on Twitter. Fellow X Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos wrote: "My thoughts & prayers are with @GBarlowOfficial and wife dawn tonight. Heartbreaking x."
A message from boy band JLS, who found fame on X Factor, read: "We send our condolences to @GBarlowOfficial and his family during this tough time..our thoughts and prayers with you..Marv and the boys x".
The announcement has cast doubt on whether Barlow will appear at Sunday's Olympics closing ceremony. The singer has been widely tipped to play the show with his Take That bandmates and a final decision is expected later this week.

Payday Loans Online at DollarsDirect
While not everyone is approved for our online payday loans, you are welcome to apply if you meet these four qualifications:
- You must be 18 or older
- You must be a resident of Alberta, Ontario, Saskatchewan or British Columbia
- You must have an active bank account
- You must be currently employed and have received at least one payslip from your current employer
If you match all four criteria, you are eligible to apply for a payday loan at DollarsDirect! Are you worried you won't be approved because of bad credit? Don't worry. Perfect credit is not a requirement to borrow at DollarsDirect.¶ Plus, the application takes only five minutes to complete, so you'll find out fairly quickly if you qualify.
How does the loan process work?
First, fill out the application. It's available online 24/7, and there's usually no extra paperwork to fill out and fax.§ Approved new customers may be able to take out short-term loans of up to $500, and returning customers may be eligible to borrow as much as $1,500.† If you're approved in the morning, you'll get same-day funding‡ at no extra charge. The funds will be deposited directly into your bank account. Our speedy funding is just one of the ways we strive to make online payday loans a convenient financial product.
After the funds are deposited into your bank account, you can use them to cover urgent bills. On your due date (which will typically be on your next payday), the principal amount of the loan plus interest will be automatically deducted from your account.
What can I use a payday loan for?
Since payday loans tend to have higher interest rates, we recommend you only borrow them when it's absolutely necessary. Emergency expenses that cannot be ignored — like car repairs or unexpected medical bills — are the only time we would encourage the use of a payday loan.
If you would like to apply with DollarsDirect, simply head to our easy form and fill out your information.

FEDERAL parliament's new Speaker has defended the chamber's robust environment while warning MPs they need to set an example for the nation.
"You can't go in there unless you have got a pretty thick skin and you need to accept that," Anna Burke told ABC radio this morning.
Ms Burke, a Labor MP from Melbourne, was elevated to Speaker on Tuesday following the resignation of Peter Slipper.
Earlier, as deputy speaker, she presided over a volatile debate to remove Mr Slipper from office, during which Prime Minister Julia Gillard branded Opposition Leader Tony Abbott sexist and misogynistic.
Ms Burke conceded sexism and misogyny existed in parliament, like other workplaces.
"But the parliament should be setting the tone and example for the nation, so we need to rise above some of those things," she said.
"Some of the comments across the chamber are just untoward and unnecessary."
Ms Burke, only the second female Speaker, said having a female prime minister had brought out the worst of some in the parliament and the wider community.
She lamented that behaviour had deteriorated, especially in the hung parliament.
"Have a robust debate, there's no drama with that," she said.
"But talk abut the issues, not the personality and not their gender."
The constant cat-calling across the chamber from both sides was unwarranted, Mr Burke said, adding that it lowered the tenor of debate.
Originally published as 'Thick-skinned' MPs 'set nation tone'

New chamber president, Rebecca Martin, ready to make some noise
Rebecca Martin has a message she'll deliver with relish.
"I'm going to let the world know we're here, louder," said Martin, the new CEO and president of The Chamber of Commerce Inc. "(People) know we're here, but they're going to know what we're about."
Martin, 52, lives in Texas but will relocate to the McCandless area to assume her chamber job, where she said she wants to revitalize its brand name through social media and other marketing efforts. She will replace retiring executive director Susan Balla.
There's a bit of an overlap between the two. Martin began her job on Feb. 1 and Balla's last day is Friday.
Balla served as executive director since October 2009 when the Cranberry Chamber of Commerce and the Northern Allegheny County Chamber of Commerce merged to form the chamber, which uppercases its name in formal use.
It has an operating budget of about $700,000, funded with membership dues, advertising, sponsorships and event programming, It supports businesses in southern Butler County, eastern Beaver County and northern Allegheny County. In all, the chamber represents 1,100 business members in 16 municipalities.
"There was no longer farmland between the business commerce areas. It made sense for us to merge so we weren't duplicating services and programs and competing against membership," said Balla, 65, of Pine.
Balla said she plans to spend some time in Florida with her family.
Martin was last a senior vice president at the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce and, previously, worked for chambers and economic development agencies in other areas, including Erie and Michigan. She was elected to Erie's school board in 2003 and served as president for two years.
Gov. Ed Rendell appointed her in 2005 to the Pennsylvania Commission for Women, and she served on the Northwest Pennsylvania Travel and Tourism Task Force under Gov. Tom Ridge.
Martin said she likes that the chamber supports community efforts, including scholarships and veteran outreach.
"I wanted to choose a chamber that embraces a community in equal parts while growing its own business base," Martin said.
She sees expansion possibilities for the chamber, which she said is "always a target goal."
"I believe this area to be so rich with opportunity that there will be growth upon growth," Martin said.
She said she'll have a better road map for goals she wants to accomplish during the first year by meeting with the chamber board in March.
"I never want to grow so stale in a position that it allows the organization to be motionless," Martin said. "Business grows, and the chamber needs to keep pace."

From split + -ism, a calque of Chinese 分裂主義/分裂主义 (fēnlièzhǔyì)
splittism (uncountable)
- Political separatism, specifically the following of independent interests as opposed to central Communist party policy.
- 1963, Life, 12 Jul 1963, p. 4:
- The Chinese have intensified their ideological quarrel with Khrushchev to the point of an almost irreparable break. They accuse him of the most heinous Communist heresies: "adventurism" (for moving missiles into Cuba), "capitulationism" (for moving them out), "great-power chauvinism" (for interfering in non-Russian parties), "revisionism" (for not wanting nuclear war) and even "splittism."[1]
- 2010, The Economist, 17 Jul 2010, p. 53:
- To China's rulers it is a backward kind of place whose former serfs, 'liberated' by the Communist army, have repaid the favour with ingratitude and even outright 'splittism'.

A POLICEMAN IS MURDERED, AND A COMMUNITY RESPONDSThursday, April 7th, 2011
Last evening in Chattanooga, I paid my respects at the wake of Sgt. Tim Chapin. He was murdered a few days ago in a running gun battle with a heavily armed robber. The same punk wounded another Chattanooga cop, Officer Lorin Johnston, before a hail of police gunfire took the perp apart. The cop-killer was wearing a ballistic vest, and that and excellent trauma care saved his worthless life to stand trial and face a well-deserved lethal injection.
The killer is said to be a white supremacist with a long history of violent crime, released not long ago to a halfway house from which he walked away to begin the one-man crime wave that ended so tragically in Chattanooga.
Driving through the city to Abba's House, a huge and immaculate contemporary church where the funeral will take place today, it seemed that every business marquee in the city expressed its condolences to the slain policeman's family and colleagues. The line of those coming to pay homage to the martyred cop and his family seemed endless. I stood in that line for a little over an hour and a half. I didn't complain, I took emotional nourishment from it. While many of those good people were cops, many were ordinary citizens.
It is good to see when a cop is murdered in the line of duty, when a firefighter is burned to death rescuing a child from a flaming building, when a paramedic is crushed to death trying to extricate an accident victim, that the members of the community they serve turn out to show their appreciation of their sacrifice.
Officer Johnston, the cop who was wounded, gave one of his kidneys to a brother officer four years ago and saved that man's life. Sergeant Chapin had risked his life for the citizens of Chattanooga for 26 years before that life was torn from him in the line of duty last weekend. It is good to see a community that respects and appreciates that.
Butch Rogers of ATF may have said it best in a consolation letter to Deputy Chief Mike Williams. "…I have always believed you can never kill a Cop," said Rogers, "Because you can't kill his spirit – the spirit of the mission. That lives on."
An educational trust fund has been started for Sgt. Chapin's children. Below is the information on it if interested.

WITH the much enjoyed Beaconsfield County Dog Show making a return at next week's Fayre, residents are being called on to dress-up like Scooby-Doo.
The show which was started for the first time last year even has a category for the pet which looks most like their owner.
Co-Chairman of the Beaconsfield Country Fayre, Sylvia Jones, said: "It was great to see so many dogs being entered last year and this year there are nine classes to choose from.
"There is even a class for the pet that looks like its owner which last year had someone dress up as a Cocker Spaniel to improve their chances of winning."
There are now calls from organisers for Scooby-Doo, who was last seen running in the Beaconsfield Stretcher Race (pictured), to make another appearance and enter the Dog Show.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here are this week's winners and losers.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Here are this week's winners and losers.
I like this SLV bullishly biased, long shooter call.
As it becomes increasingly apparent to Wall Street that Donald Trump isn't quite the negotiator he claimed to be, these gold and silver investments are soaring. Their momentum should continue.
Signs are emerging that Wall Street's party is ending. We provide a proactive, protective trade that also offers growth.
If you don't have precious metals in your portfolio, you're needlessly vulnerable to proliferating risks. Buy these assets as protection now, before it's too late.
Consider this SLV July 17 call.

Friends without Netflix
Do you have any friends who still haven't tried Netflix? I was astonished to learn that my nurse at the doctor's office still hasn't signed up. I will not rest until she does.
I think it might be ignorance. I have to explain to them how it works. It helps if I show them the envelope, because it's hard for folks to imagine how easy it is. They think they have to get a stamp and address the envelope and buy envelopes, and all that old-school stuff. Even when I tell them it's postage-paid both ways, they are skeptical. They think there's a catch.
I also think it's hard work for some people to find stuff to watch. With TV, it's passive. You watch whatever is on, or you hit one button on the remote. Netflix requires a bit of thought and more effort than switching on the TV. You have to go online, look at pictures, and click a button. If you're really ambitious, you read the description and reviews.
Even with Roku, you have to decide what to watch. The TV doesn't decide for you. People can be paralyzed by choice. Well, Netflix solves that problem by suggesting movies. All you have to do is rate movies. Is that so hard?
I look at some of my Netflix Friends, and I'm frustrated at how few movies they've rated. Or maybe they really haven't seen that many. They must be the people with the social lives and beautiful lawns.

Some Fowler Drive Elementary School students got a big thrill Tuesday: a chance to hear Olympic gold medalist Shannon Vreeland read aloud to them.
Vreeland is a member of the University of Georgia swim team and a member of the winning U.S. 800-meter freestyle team.
But famous as she is, Vreeland, a junior, is just one of the highlights this week for Fowler Drive's 420 students.
This is National Young Reader's week, and the school's teachers and administrators have planned special activities each day to promote reading, said Fowler Drive Principal Anissa Johnson, who likes to quote Dr. Seuss on reading: "The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."
More UGA athletes are coming to read on Friday, and they're not the only celebrity readers.
"On Thursday, parents are the celebrities," said Johnson.
Children are also doing such reading activities as creating posters for their favorite books this week.
Today will be buddy day, when older children in the school read to younger pupils.
However, the planned grand finale, Friday's "Drop Everything and Read," won't go on quite as planned.
Second-year principal Johnson hoped to get on the roof of the school that morning with a little help from the Athens-Clarke County Fire and Emergency Services Department.
She didn't plan to come down until the students, teachers and other workers had read for 100,000 minutes — about four hours each, which would get her off the roof in time for lunch.
While she was on the roof, Johnson would read along with everyone else, she figured.
School district administrators have nixed the rooftop reading, however, so now the Fowler Drive folks will have to read Johnson out of a tent pitched on the school's grounds.
Students will be allowed keep track of their principal through the day via FaceTime before she emerges.
Johnson plans to spend her time in the tent reading along with everyone else. She'll begin with the latest volume in the popular "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series, with more books on hand if she finishes that one, she said.

Re: The letter "Barbers shouldn't talk politics," A-J, Jan. 23.
Seems the letter writers were more or less "ragging" on the barber, Maurice Stanley, for talking politics in his barber shop.
Personally, I do not know Maurice, but I do live District 3, which is his district. To be perfectly honest, I had not given a serious thought about ever voting for Maurice — that is, until I read the letter writers' opinion of the barber.
Anyone who is as interested and concerned enough about my district and my city — attending the City Council meetings, voicing his concerns in regard to my district and my city and even voicing the same in the barber shop — is worth paying attention to.
So thanks to the letter writers. Your letter sure caught my attention and a definite vote for Maurice for my City Council representative. So thanks again for the ragging.

Penn State officials receive federal findings on security procedures
Another chapter in the Jerry Sandusky scandal may be nearing an end.
Penn State officials said Monday they have received the U.S. Department of Education's preliminary findings in a Clery Act investigation on security procedures triggered by the Sandusky child sex abuse case. Penn State did not release the findings.
The investigation centered on the school's compliance with the Clery Act, a federal law that sets standards for disclosing information about crimes on and around campuses.
Federal investigators who descended on the campus shortly after Sandusky's arrest in November 2011 scoured campus records from 1998 through 2011 in an attempt to determine whether university officials covered up allegations that the former assistant football coach abused boys in and around campus facilities.
Sandusky is serving 30 to 60 years in prison since his conviction last summer for sexually abusing 10 boys.
Authorities scheduled a July 29 hearing for three former top Penn state administrators charged with concealing Sandusky's crimes. All three maintain their innocence.
The Clery Act, adopted after the 1986 rape and murder of a Lehigh University student, requires all colleges and universities participating in federal student financial aid programs to publish an annual security report, maintain a public crime log and release crime statistics.
A Penn State spokesman said the university will keep the Department of Education's preliminary findings on its case confidential as it formulates a response and awaits the agency's final report. Although the department does not comment on ongoing investigations, individual universities have in the past released preliminary findings, as Virginia Tech did after the 2007 shooting on campus.
Penn State has 120 days to respond to the department, spokesman David LaTorre said.
But there is no guarantee that federal regulators will act quickly after that.
Yale University officials responded in June 2010 to the findings of a Clery Act investigation that concluded the Ivy League school was lax in reporting sexual assaults. The Department of Education fined the school $155,000 fine this month, more than three years later.
If Penn State is found in violation of the law, it could face fines of up to $27,500 for each violation.
Penn State instituted mandatory Clery Act training for staffers and hired a full-time Clery compliance manager in the aftermath of the Sandusky scandal.

ADE Akinbiyi has never knowingly encountered racial abuse.
He was informed of it after the event, when Leicester had lost to Red Star Belgrade and bowed out of the UEFA Cup.
The home fans had targeted Akinbiyi and Andy Impey with racist taunts, for which the Serbian club were later fined £15,000.
A flare had landed near Foxes goalkeeper Tim Flowers during the game, played at a neutral venue in the Austrian capital Vienna.
But the vile verbal volley had fallen on deaf ears as far as Akinbiyi was concerned.
"People told me about it, but I didn't hear it at the time," said the 39-year-old, who found the cold, cutting comments of the national press the hardest to swallow during his career.
Akinbiyi had settled in quickly at Wolves after his £3.5million move in September 1999, top scoring with 16 goals in his first season at Molineux, including eight in his first 12 games. But less than 12 months later he was on the move again, to Leicester for £5m – another record swoop.
The pressure of his increasing pricetag – a fee he did not feel he warranted – took hold and hampered his performances in the Premier League.
"It was difficult because I was only just settling into Wolves and the next thing you know you're moving on," he said.
"Emile Heskey had just left and I had to fill his boots. That was a big step for me.
"I had my ups and downs. I scored 10 goals in my first season, which if you scored that in the Premier League now you're going to be happy with it.
"But at the time people were saying 'We've bought a player for £5million and he's not scoring'. I had a nightmare against Liverpool the following season and that was it."
Akinbiyi's tally halved in his second season at Filbert Street. The stick he received doubled, and it had a direct impact on his performance.
He started to miss chances, and was cruelly labelled 'Akinbadbuy' by the national media.
One red-top journalist wrote a scathing piece when the striker dared to speak of his ambitions of playing for Nigeria against England in the 2002 World Cup.
"Everyone jumped on it," said Akinbiyi. "I said to myself 'I'm going to meet this guy one day and I'm going to give him a right mouthful'.
"But something else inside me said 'No, don't do it'.
"But in my lifetime I thought I was going to meet this guy somewhere, and just last year I did, at an event.
"He saw me and he knew what he'd done and he knew how long ago it was.
"He came up to me and apologised. He said he was sorry, that he was new to the job and that he'd been under pressure from his boss to write it."
But that put the microscope further on Akinbiyi.
Behind that 6ft hulk of chiseled muscle was a human being with feelings that had been fractured.
"I was going through a hard time for a couple of months, but after that I stopped caring what other people thought, I just wanted to go out there and do what I want to do; I'm playing football, I'm doing something that I love and people can write what they want to write," he said.
"From then I stopped reading the papers."
But while he hid from the headlines he never shied away from his duties on the pitch.
"When people put more pressure on you, you don't score. But if I don't score goals I still get out there and keep trying," he said.
"I learned how to cope with the bad times and with the good times enjoy it. It's just like life really.
"In football you've got to take the good with the bad. If you can't do that, there's no point in playing."
After spells with Crystal Palace and Stoke there were more good times ahead with Burnley. So good they signed him twice.
The first time was in February 2005. And it was first impressions that counted for the front man.
"Wigan came in for me, Sheffield United and Burnley," he said.
"I'd spoken to Paul Jewell (then Wigan boss) on the phone and that wasn't enough for me.
"But when I went up to meet Steve Cotterill for the first time at the Dunkenhalgh hotel, he convinced me and that was it.
"It was the way he put himself across, his ambitions, what he wanted to do.
"He talked to me about everything he wanted me to do, which is what I did do, and that he would back me 100 per cent.
"The squad was a good squad, my debut wasn't a good debut," added Akinbiyi, noting how Turf life got off to the worst possible start when he was sent off for a headbutt on Sunderland's George McCartney inside two minutes.
"I was trying to make an impression.
"I was trying to quickly grab the ball off him. It went out for a goal kick and as I grabbed it off him I just put my head towards him. I didn't headbutt him, but the referee said that I had."
The striker had previous, having been fined two weeks' wages by Wolves plus £2,000 by the FA and banned for four games for a headbutt on Nottingham Forest defender Tony Vaughan in February 2000.
"It was disappointing on my debut," added Akinbiyi of the Burnley incident.
"It wasn't the best start. Steve didn't say anything, but he was obviously disappointed because he had gone out of his way to sign me.
"The board must have been thinking 'What have we signed here?'."
It seems entirely out of character for someone who was a gentle giant off the pitch.
But an aggressive, fiercely competitive veil descends when he crosses the white line.
"When I'm on the field I'm always intense but off the field I'm totally different," he said.
"On the field that's my job and I want to win the game and I'll do anything to win.
"As soon as I go down the tunnel and walk on the pitch, that's it, until I come off it."
The only way was up after such a disastrous start, and Akinbiyi went on to score 18 goals in 43 league and cup games before being sold to Sheffield United for £1.75m the following January.
"I didn't want to go, Steve didn't want me to go and there were a few bids turned down. But they made another improved bid and it was a chance for me to get back into the Premier League again, so we decided to go ahead," he said.
"But it was a bit of a risk because they had a lot of centre forwards and when I got there I was about sixth or seventh choice.
"Everyone warned me 'Give it six games, things will change'.
"I played six games, the last on the right of the front three at Coventry, I'd never played there and I didn't play that well.
"The next game I was sub and that was it.
"Although we went up to the Premier League I didn't get many games at all."
Akinbiyi took his frustrations out in the gym and bulked up before returning to throw his weight around in the Championship again with Burnley.

Tony Little warns that the relationship between parents and schools is becoming like one of "supermarket choice".
Parents sometimes lost sight of the fact that "individuals have
responsibilities as well as rights", he said.
Fathers who behave badly on the touchline came in for criticism.
So did mothers who try to bully teachers into changing the way they teach.
Speaking at the conference of the Incorporated Association of Preparatory Schools in Torquay, Mr Little said children needed guidance and to understand the importance of personal responsibility.
"The father aggressively urging a victory at all costs on the touchline, the mother bullying staff to change teaching arrangements, the parents wholly
supportive of the school's disciplinary policy until it affects their child - such parents hinder and even damage their children," he said.
"We should always seek the active purposeful support of parents, which is
frequently given.
"But we also know that parents are sometimes wrong, even about their own children, and while some of them may see themselves solely as paymasters in the
relationship, we have a duty as experienced, professional people to stand up for our schools, its values and the child."
He also said many teachers feared schools were being damaged by the "the inexorable march of the
tick box people, the minutiae of percentage points and league tables".
"The biggest worry we face is that an erosion of trust over the
years in the teaching profession, voiced by politicians and echoed by the
public, has led to a desire to control and direct the affairs of schools."

Cuttack/Bhubaneswar, Nov. 28: Lakhs of people thronged the banks of rivers and other water bodies in the state braving the chill of the winter morning to celebrate Boita Bandana on the auspicious Kartik Purnima today.
Thousands thronged the Mahanadi river in Cuttack to celebrate the festival. Boita Bandana began with the traditional conch-blowing ceremony and chanting from the Vedas as people sailed their miniature boats to commemorate the states rich maritime past.
The festival, observed on Kartik Purnima, is one of the major festivals of the state.
According to popular belief, traders from the state used to go to far-off islands such as Bali, Java, Sumatra and Sri Lanka by sea in boats called Boitas for trading purposes. It is believed that the seafarers used to begin their journey on Kartik Purnima. Our family members have been coming here for the past 30 years to sail boats in the river, said Dilip Sahu, a resident of Buxi Bazaar.
Various ghats of the rivers Mahanadi and Kathajodi and other major water bodies in Cuttack also witnessed heavy rush as people thronged to sail boats made of paper and thermocol. Many had brought along the traditional miniature boats made out of banana stem and decorated with incense sticks, earthen lamps, flowers, fruits and coins.
In Bhubaneswar, the Bindusagar lake witnessed a huge turnout of people who went there to sail their boats, perform prayers and light lamps as early as 4am. People also thronged the ghats of the Daya and Kuakhai rivers.
In Paradip, the Kumar Purnima celebrations were emphatic with sailing of boats as well as Bali yatra festivities.
Chandbali, one of the oldest ports of the state, was witness to major celebrations. Boita Bandana was celebrated there in a unique way when seven men and women dressed up in traditional attire played the role of seven sadhabas or Odisha traders and their wives, respectively, to recreate the legends about the farewell ceremony for the traders of ancient times.
After the women prayed for a safe and prosperous journey of their husbands and applied tilaks on their foreheads, the traders boarded a huge boat decorated as a swan. Songs and dances were also played in the background.
Chief minister Naveen Patnaik inaugurated Bali yatra fairs in Paradip yesterday and in Cuttack today.

Silent soccer in North Korea.
North Korea's silent football matches
11 May 2013 Last updated at 00:20 GMT
Foreign visitors to North Korea are allowed to attend sports matches alongside their minders. But football in this secretive republic has little in common with the passion and glamour of Europe's major leagues.
The game was a sell-out, though you would never have guessed it.
As we entered the 50,000-seater Kim Il-Sung Stadium below the watchful eye of the Eternal President and Great Leader, not forgetting his son, the Supreme Leader Kim Jong-Il, there was no-one to be seen.
There were no queues, no turnstiles and certainly no hotdog stands or programme sellers.
But once inside it was a different matter. Every seat was taken and row upon row of men sat silently, wearing identical dark suits and red ties, everyone sporting a tiny enamel badge on their left breast.
No, not of Pyongyang FC, but of the Great Leader himself.
The artificial pitch looked immaculate under the spring morning sun. Kick off was at half past nine.
Maybe it was the early start but there were no chants and no flags or scarves in sight, just a quiet murmur around the darkened rows of seats.
Many of the fans were soldiers in green uniforms and broad-brimmed hats.
I do not know if they were under orders to attend but some were quietly reading paperbacks and showed no interest in the game.
The opposition, the crack army outfit Amrokgang, looked stronger in the first half but it was a scrappy match.
Pyongyang fought back and won a penalty though you would be hard pressed to know that from the reaction of the crowd. There was none.
My travelling buddies decided to inject some old-style terrace atmosphere of our own and we chanted: "One nil to the referee, one nil to the referee."
The dozen or so Westerners who had joined us in the VIP box - at 30 euros a seat, hard currency only please - laughed at us.
One or two even joined in as we grew bolder: "Pyongyang ooh, ooh! Pyongyang ooh, ooh!"
But the locals just stared at us. In a land where it appears you must ask permission to speak, this show of individuality, of spontaneity, was not seen as rude, or aggressive. They just stared blankly at us.
Former national team manager Kim Jong-Hun claimed to receive tactical advice from the Supreme Leader
I think they thought we were, well... a little odd.
Our tour party was closely monitored at the game. Two guides led from the front while a mysterious "Mr L" who hardly spoke, brought up the rear.
It was never clear if he was just minding us or was making sure our guides stuck to the strict party line that all was rosy in this socialist utopia.
The national side uses the official name of the country, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Their greatest footballing moment came in the 1966 World Cup when they beat Italy by two goals to nil to reach the quarter finals. They also qualified for the 2010 finals.
At the last World Cup, in South Africa, North Korea's coach, Kim Jong-Hun, told the media that he received "regular tactical advice during matches" from Kim Jong-Il "using mobile phones that are not visible to the naked eye" and purportedly developed by the Supreme Leader himself.
But the team is struggling at the moment and has not qualified for next year's World Cup in Brazil. Its last game was a goalless draw in a friendly against fellow communists Cuba.
Back on the pitch at the Kim Il-Sung stadium, Amrokgang had got one back.
Another penalty, though why the referee had to confer with the linesman is anyone's guess - the Pyongyang striker was taken down five yards inside the box.
The goal caused little reaction. The crowd stayed quiet. Neither manager ventured out of the dugout, there was no high-fiving, no pats on the back from the players.
Kim Il-sung Stadium seats 50,000 spectators but the mood is very different from that at Western stadia
Now I like to watch controlled football, but not quite like this.
Surprise, surprise! There was some half-time entertainment.
A brass band piped up behind the goal. But immediately another band behind the opposite goal struck up. They were playing different tunes, though no-one seemed to care.
The match went into stoppage time. Pyongyang were pressing hard.
The crowd, at last, seemed to rouse themselves, if only a little, at the prospect of another goal.
And finally, Pyongyang scored with a low shot following some good passing.
It was the very last kick of the most bizarre game I had ever watched and it came in the 94th minute.
Maybe the referee was under orders to ensure a home win in the Great Leader's stadium.
I would like to think the crowd went home happy.
But with no emotion one way or the other on the faces of the soldiers and party faithful as they marched silently out, I just couldn't tell.

The fans look bored stiff, the guy in the pic reading a book tells it all, eh.
The army muppets must have been ordered to attend, nothing, but nothing remotely individual about that ea of glum faces, except the chap reading a book and another two guys having a joke.
The weirdest soccer crowd I've ever seen, except maybe Newport Co Tipperary's first soccer match since Cromwell.

You'd make a mint in normal circumstances, that's for sure. I couldn't even see a bottle of water or even a bag of peanuts making the rounds among them, let alone a pie. D'ya reckon they'd have any dosh at all?

Broken Time
de Anthony W Vilgiate
Acerca del libro
Set in an underground world of labyrinth corridors, bunkers, artificial lighting and Big Brother style oversight, the parents of a small ill boy battle their way to each other and to wholeness. Doctors seek to balance discovery with personal sacrifice and come up wanting more than science can offer. Nearly every page holds a complex melding of sci-fi biology, and super calculating systems of both biological and technological origin. And yet the text manages to be human, warm and intriguing, even compassionate.
The story is a truly creative look at the space between life and death and the question of wholeness and identity. Complex themes of love and loss are interwoven with strong maternal instincts and grace. All in all an excellent read, and the most creative tale I've seen in ages.

The Rock talked to Empire Online about his upcoming projects, including a new family comedy titled "Daddy's Girl"
Former professional wrestler Dwayne Douglas Johnson or better known as The Rock has recently revealed during an interview with Empire Online that he's working on an upcoming drama comedy flick. The title is "Daddy's Girl."
"In all likelihood, I will do a movie called 'Daddy's Girl,' with Disney, that I'm really excited about," he said. As of the story, the film follows a star quarterback on an NFL team, very brash and cocky, but not in the way of Tyrell Owens in the States but in the way of a Brett Favre who is so respected and everybody loves, but who has been single all of his life. His life gets turned upside down when his little daughter comes into his life, who's six years old.
The Rock himself will play the star quarterback. Moreover, still according to the actor, Gordon Gray and Mark Giardi of the Miracle and The Rookie are both developing the project.

Sony Renews Contract with YouTube, Sources Say
NEW YORK, Feb 12 (Reuters) - YouTube, the hugely popular online video site, has renewed a global licensing deal with Sony Music Entertainment which allows it to continue showing music videos of artists like Beyonce and Avril Lavrigne, people familiar with the talks said on Thursday.
The deal with Sony, the world's second largest music company, is important in light of a decision by Warner Music Group (WMG.N) to walk away from similar contract renewal talks with YouTube last December in a dispute over licensing fees. Warner asked YouTube to take its music videos down.
A person familiar with Sony Music's plans said the company still sees great value in YouTube's huge numbers of users both to Sony's artists and to the artists' fans.
YouTube, which is owned by search giant Google Inc, had more than 100 million users in December, according to data from comScore, a Web audience measurement service.
YouTube's music video licenses with Vivendi's Universal Music Group, the world's largest music company, and privately held EMI Music are still running. But renewal talks with the two companies are coming up soon, another person close to the talks said.
Music videos, once a free promotional tool on television, have become one of the fastest growing digital revenue streams for music companies on sites like YouTube and News Corp's MySpace.
The music labels, who signed early licensing deals with YouTube in 2006, have been keen to improve the payment rates they earn from the popular video site.
Labels earn on average around half a cent each time a user watches one of their videos on YouTube or the label can share in advertising revenue around the video.
YouTube, which is also trying to build more revenue itself and reduce its outgoing costs, is negotiating harder with the labels for better terms in its favor.
Sony Corp owns Sony Music Entertainment.

There are 14 newly-discovered genealogy and family-history related blogs that we've located this week. Remember to try and help out these new blogs by:
- using any follow feature listed on the blog
- adding them to your blog reader
- adding a comment on their blog saying "hi" and "welcome"
Here are this week's new listings:
All Roads Lead to London
Blog type: Individual genealogy, UK genealogy
I've been researching my family history for 10 years now and have decided that 2012 will be the year that I do something will all the information I've acquired. It's no good just collecting paper (certificates, census pages etc) and leaving it sitting in folders gathering dust on the shelf.
When I started researching I was intrigued to find that although my more recent ancestors were Londoners, the families had arrived in London from various parts of England. Then I ventured onto my husband's family history and found a similar picture. This has led me on to finding out more about the growth of London and the migration from the more rural areas of England.
I also wanted to prove (or disprove!) some of the family stories I had been told. The blog will range across direct family history research, taking in local and social history on the way, along with my love of old maps and postcards.
Barking Up The Wrong Tree
Blog type: Genealogy education
In genealogy many of us have made mistakes and are quick to correct them when they are found. Others copy from other family trees and never notice the errors. When the errors are pointed out many of those same people refuse to correct their trees or their trees have been abandoned so the errors are there for eternity. Here we will laugh, mock and shake our heads at the carelessness, stupidity and/or ignorance of those errors 🙂
All posts are taken from trees published online.
Tuesdays will be those posts. Fridays I'll have tips for beginners and possibly discussion of WDYTYA? episodes as they air.
Berkshire Research
Blog type: Professional genealogy blog, UK genealogy
I am a Professional Genealogist who lives and works in the wonderful Royal County of Berkshire in the UK. With over fifteen years-experience as a researcher, I can help you find your Berkshire roots!
I have a BA Honours degree in History from the London School of Economics. It was a wonderful experience for a young person as the degree was intercollegiate, which meant I could attend classes and lectures at several different colleges within London University, not just the LSE. I am proud to be a graduate of some amazing institutions such as SOAS and University College.
After graduating and a few uninspiring years in marketing, I went back to college to study the London University's Certificate in 'Genealogy and History of the Family' at Birkbeck College. In those days, it was one of the very few certificated, serious academic courses available. It turned out to be a fascinating two years of study, which concentrated on historical research methodology, something that was lacking in my original degree course. The standards were high – one of the examiners was Anthony Camp, a big name in genealogical circles!
Having hosted the 'Irish Estate Papers Index' and the 'Irish Tontine Index' for several years, I went full-time as a Professional Genealogist in the second half of the 1990′s. Since then, I have covered London, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Wiltshire and of course Berkshire. Although, I still travel regularly to London for research at Guildhall, the London Metropolitan Archives, the British Library and the National Archives, over the last six years I have been focusing most of my attention on my home county, Berkshire.
Faces of Worcester Polonia
Blog type: Massachusetts genealogy, Polish genealogy
In 1990 my grandmother died and left a treasure trove of vintage photographs from the early twentieth century of the Polish immigrant community of Worcester, Massachusetts. The majority of my photos date from between 1900 and 1930. If you are related to or recognize anyone in any of my photographs I'd love to hear from you!
Family Reflections: The Blog
Blog type: Individual family history
This is a supplement to my family history website "Family Reflections". It will document my research as I delve into my my four main lines: Ruffing, Garland, Coleman, Bernardo. As well as provide articles on doing your own genealogical research.
Fiddles & Folklore: Our Acadian-French Heritage
Blog type: Acadian genealogy, Canadian genealogy, French-Canadian genealogy, Louisiana genealogy
This journey begins with Sardine Point, Louisiana and it will take us along the Mississippi River, to the port of New Orleans and eventually to the lands of eastern Cananda and France. We will be researching surnames Bourgoyne, Ferbos, Frioux or Fryoux, Landry, Marson, Roccaforte, Smith, Tullier and others from Iberville and West Baton Rouge Parishes in Louisiana.
Blog type: Technology blog
GeneaTeach is a genealogy blog whose main goal is to make readers aware of the latest technology news relating to their genealogical research.
Not Your Mother's Genealogy
Blog type: Individual family history
My name is Carrie Keele and I am a genealogist. And I am not my mother, though I love her dearly!
On Granny's Trail
Blog type: Genealogy education, Individual family history
This is a place to share some of the family history research I have accumulated over the years for the surnames Pomeroy, Morris, Tanner, Foutz, Gooch, Matheson, Shults, and Connell. I hope that cousins will benefit from this and will also share what they have found.
All of these family lines eventually moved west of the Mississippi. They settled in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Idaho, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri, and California so in the process of finding them I have come across some great genealogy libraries, archives, and collections for researching in the western United States. I'd love to share these with other researchers and have them share their favorites with me.
Please feel free to comment and share your favorite resources for Western States genealogy, or share what you know about these family lines.
Perthshire Ancestry
Blog type: UK Genealogy
Hello everyone and welcome to my Blog for Perthshire Ancestry which is the home of my Genealogy business.
For a new business, I have to say it has been a pleasingly busy start. I am passionate about local history and helping people discover things about their family tree they didn't know. I haven't found a tree yet that doesn't have an intriguing, happy, amazing, sad or tragic story in it somewhere.
I'll use this Blog to share some of the circumstances I come across (no names – confidentiality is key!) and how I have managed to solve them… or not! I'll also share any of the interesting facts and stories I come across surrounding Perth and Perthshire on my journey.
I hope you enjoy my whitterings, Please take time to visit the Perthshire Ancestry web site as I'll be updating it regularly.
San Mateo County Genealogy Blog
Blog type: California genealogy, Genealogy society blog
San Mateo County Genealogical Society's Blog featuring society events, projects, meeting notes and other items of relevance to genealogists.
Searching for the Past
Blog type: Individual family history
I'm writing a blog following my trials and troubles with genealogy. I post helpful ideas and the things I have found along the way while researching my family histories.
The Distant Clansman
Blog type: Individual family history
The Distant Clansman site was built as a positive medium for the subjects of history, but more specifically family history. We hope to provide information to help anyone interested in beginning their search into the past, or maybe just answer a question for those who have already started.
Who are the Distant Clansmen? We are a father and son team who, first and foremost, love history and genealogy. We are amateurs, just average Joes, with more than fifteen years of genealogical and historical research stored about the house. Our philosophy is grassroots – genealogical information in the form of public records should be free to the researcher except for the maintenance and handling fees charged by the housing facility. Secondly, research should be liberally shared between other amateur genealogists, but only when it can be collaborated with documentation or multiple witness accounts. Thirdly, we believe that the social, political, economic and martial events occurring around a particular individual being researched played a strong, influential part in who that person was. These life events should be researched and incorporated into the study of that person's life with the same zeal that their ancestor's lineage is researched. No person can separate their thoughts and views from current affairs. They shape our character whether we realize it at the time or not.
This is not just a site for "Burns" family history or research. "Our" family traces their extended roots back to Scotland, Ireland and England. Most of those ancestors arrived and began their Americanization in the Colony of Virginia. Oddly, most of those later regrouped in the isolated mountains of Eastern Kentucky in Clay County. It is for this reason that we consider Clay County, Kentucky ground-zero for our genealogical research. From this many times volatile location, our ancestors spread out to every state in the Union and several other countries, including back to Scotland, England and Ireland.
Our genealogical research data includes, but is not limited to, the Burns, Baker, Davidson, Hensley, Martin, McCraw, and Spurlock families. Our historical research includes, (but again, is not limited to), the Colonial Period, Revolutionary Period, World Wars I and II, and Eastern Kentucky histories.
The Sanford Family Misfit
Blog type: Individual family history
Spending the early years of my life in my grandparents home helped me to cultivate a deep appreciation for my heritage, roots, and family history. In 2005 I began to take my family research more seriously as a way of coping with the death of my Papaw. I become an active member of Genforum, Ancestry, and Find-A-Grave in order to make connections to help further my research, but became frustrated over the lack of information that was available on the Sanford line of Haywood County, North Carolina. Once I hit a point in my research that I felt comfortable sharing what I had learned I created The Sanford Family Misfit, so others could benefit from my knowledge on the Sanford families of Haywood County.

The Council for a Better Louisiana told senators Monday that it opposes legislation that would give Gov. Bobby Jindal new authority to oust members of the Southeast Flood Control Authority.
In a memo, CABL said it has "some fundamental problems" with Senate Bill 79 which would allow the governor to oust board members for "a violation of state law."
"Removal for 'a violation of state law' seems to remain somewhat broad," CABL wrote. "Entire boards in the course of their work could violate some technical aspects of state law." For example, if a public meeting is not properly noticed or an agenda item is inappropriately considered by the board there could be a violation of state law, the public interest group said.
CABL also noted that the legislation would "be charting new territory."
"Why should this type of unique language apply to only these two boards?" CABL asked. "What kind of effect would this have on independent board members who might be continually looking over their shoulders to determine what a governor is thinking on an issue versus using their own best judgment and analysis?"
The legislation would grant the governor and all future governors the authority to determine what violation state law with regard to the actions of levee boards and their members, CABL said. "In doing so, it gives the governor powers that appropriately reside with the judiciary…."
