With every year that passes in his tenure as manager of Nagoya Grampus, the stakes Dragan Stojkovic has to play with just keep getting higher. But if the Serbian is feeling the pressure as he prepares to begin his third season at the helm against Gamba Osaka this weekend, his poker face is a good one.
In 2008, Stojkovic returned to the club he once graced as one of the J. League's best-ever players, and promptly led the perennial underachievers to an unexpected third-place finish in the first season of his management career.
If that suggested "Pixie" could sprinkle the same magic dust over Grampus in the dugout as he did on the field, however, 2009 did not quite follow the same fairy tale.
A run to the semifinals of the Asian Champions League was impressive enough but Nagoya failed to ignite in the league, thrashing champions Kashima Antlers 4-1 one week and losing to rock-bottom Oita Trinita in another.
But now the gloves are off. Stojkovic has overseen an aggressive recruitment policy over the past six months, starting with a trio of internationals headed by Australian striker Josh Kennedy last summer and capped off with the latest round of signings, including the jewel in the crown, national team defender Marcus Tulio Tanaka.
It all adds up to a fairly naked statement of intent for Nagoya's ambitions of a first-ever title, but Stojkovic insists he can handle the expectations that go with it.
"We have brought in good reinforcements, but personally I am not feeling any pressure," he said. "Of course looking at the names we are better than last year but it is the team that plays, not the names. My job now is to create a team good enough to play good football.
"I think it's time now to be at the top waiting for the chance to be champions. I was disappointed by the performances against the lowest-ranked teams last year. We lost nine points against the bottom three teams and beat the top teams. I think it was psychological."
If a strong mentality is what Stojkovic is looking for, he has chosen wisely in Tulio. The Brazilian-born center back became an icon for Urawa Reds fans during his trophy-laden time in Saitama, and Stojkovic is hoping his blood-and-thunder attitude will rub off on his new teammates.
"Tulio brings leadership," he said. "We lost Maya Yoshida to the Netherlands and my pick was Tulio. We achieved that goal. I don't want to put a lot of pressure on him. Just let him play. He is a very good leader and I hope he can show that because we need a commander on the ground."
Unfortunately for Stojkovic, the national team's busy schedule has given his new commander precious little time to address the troops. Japan will have played six matches already this year by the time the league season kicks off on Saturday, and all Stojkovic can do is watch on in exasperation.
"It's unbelievable," he said. "First of all we have to respect the schedule of the national team, but I think it's bad timing. They are playing the games almost without any preparation.
"The players have started their preparations with the national team, but it's not the same thing. Having regular training with the national team and with your club is different, and I think that's why the players weren't in good condition. Logically, they should start preparation with us and then we release them. Definitely, it was the wrong time to play these games."
Of the Grampus players he has been able to work with, however, Stojkovic is confident they are ready for the start of what he hopes will be the biggest season in the club's history.
"Everything is fine," he said. "The players are motivated and without injuries. I think it's a good sign that we have controlled things very well, and I'm very satisfied with how they have responded."

Lubrication tends to be neglected on older vehicles, especially those that are not regularly serviced.
Unlike such things as worn spark plugs, which bring on misfires or hard starting, or worn bearings, which knock or rumble, oil that is contaminated either by the ingress of fuel or full of minute particles shed from stressed parts of the engine, such as shell bearings, still continues to circulate and gives no audible clues to its condition.
Oil and filter changes at recommended intervals are essential money-savers.
Never economise on oil changes or oil quality.
Any solid material in the oil will act as an abrasive, wearing away crank journals, crank bearings, tappets and cam lobes. And when you think of the cost of renewing main bearings or big-ends on even the most basic four-cylinder engine, it makes sense to keep a written record of oil changes as well as regularly checking oil level.
Sludge may build up in an oil canister, so be sure to clean it out thoroughly when fitting a new filter. The oil pump itself plays an important role and the standard type, provided it is in good condition should normally be okay in the lower stages of tune.
However, an engine tuned more radically for higher performance might need a higher capacity pump, so it is as well to seek advice on gear clearances, etc. Remember that bearing clearances will be greater in an engine with a higher state of tune and flow potential could be compromised.
For an engine in semi-race tune a higher capacity pump is required.
Such a pump will have wider gears to ensure that sufficient oil is being delivered. This could also call for a stronger pump drive to cope with the extra loading.
Two main types of oil pump are in common use, namely the rotor and gear types. As there is no direct opening or path for oil to flow between the pump inlet and outlet, the pump is a positive displacement unit. Bearing clearances and metered holes restrict flow from the pump, resulting in pressure build-up.
A pressure regulator is incorporated in the pump. Excess pressure is sent to pump inlet or oil sump. This shows that engine oil pressure depends on regulator valve tension and restriction to flow on the pump outlet. It also follows that excessive bearing clearances will cause oil pressure to drop
Worn bearings cause a drop in oil pressure.
Most of us know that and when selling a car suffering from such a malady, some unscrupulous vendors use thicker oil to raise the pressure.
Mind you, a sticking regulator valve or damage regulator valve spring will also affect oil pressure. Pump wear that allows oil to bypass back to the inlet side will also cause a pressure drop.
Sometimes it is possible to increase pressure by using a stronger release valve spring or putting a suitable spacer under the existing spring. This was often done on four-cylinder Fords.
Oil analysis is a good pointer to the effectiveness of oil filtration and engine wear; it will also show dilution and sludge caused by excessive blow-by, neglected oil changes or even the use of unsuitable oil. Specialised laboratories will carry analysis for a small fee. - Star Motoring

Buffering Shocks to Well-Being Late in Life
Consumption provides a comprehensive measurement of economic well-being. This research shows that consumption is well-insured with respect to health status and widowing. Using data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and its CAMS supplement, it shows that consumption responds little to changes in health status even though adverse health generates substantial out-of-pocket medical expenses. Similarly, the effect of widowing on consumption, though substantial, is not strongly driven by changes in economic resources. Men experience little loss of monetary resources when being widowed. Women have the same overall loss in consumption as men when being widowed despite greater declines in economic resources. Hence, despite the adverse consequences for income and wealth for female widows, women experience no greater drop in consumption from losing a spouse than do men.

Dorothy Arzner is finally getting a retrospective of her key works.
As the UCLA Film Archive, responsible for restoring some of the most adventurous and challenging films of the Hollywood studio era writes in the program notes for the series, "The Archive is pleased to commemorate the indispensable career of director Dorothy Arzner (1897-1979) as part of a year-long commemoration of our own 50th Anniversary. This retrospective features six Archive restorations of Arzner's work, which have helped to spur scholarship into and retrospectives of the director's remarkable achievements. The UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television is also proud to claim Arzner as a former professor.
A remarkable and nearly unique figure in American film history, Arzner forged a career characterized by an individual worldview, and a strong, recognizable voice. She was also, not incidentally, the sole female director in the studio era to sustain a directing career, working in that capacity for nearly two decades and helming 20 features—conspicuously, still a record in Hollywood.
Distinguished as a storyteller with penetrating insight into women's perspectives and experiences, Arzner herself emphatically made the point that only a woman could offer such authority and authenticity. At a time when the marginalization of women directors in the American film establishment is still actively debated, we celebrate Dorothy Arzner, and the Archive's long association with her legacy."
Film screened include The Wild Party, Anybody's Woman, Working Girls, Sarah and Son, First Comes Courage (a personal favorite of mine), Craig's Wife and Christopher Strong (perhaps her best known films), Dance, Girl, Dance, Nana, The Red Kimona, Merrily We Go To Hell and a number of other titles from her long career, in gorgeously restored prints. If you're going to be in the Los Angeles area, especially since many of these titles are simply not available on DVD – and as with director Ida Lupino, when is Arzner going to get a box set of her complete works (probably never, unfortunately) – you owe it to yourself to see the work of this pioneering and brilliant filmmaker.

We did a search for other books with a similar title, and found some results for you that may be helpful.
Others have written the myth, but the Anzacs themselves wrote their stories.
Around the country, bronze soldiers in slouch hats stand silently at attention. It is the Anzacs' remarkable writing that reveals the lives behind the national legend. From the Trenches is a collection of gripping, awe-inspiring and sometimes terrifying accounts of life at the front, recorded by those who lived through the fighting.
Drawn from diaries, memoirs and letters, as well as poetry, reportage and prose, this coolection reminds us that the Anzac legend is rooted in real and tragic circumstances on a heartbreakingly human scale. Belying the common perception of the laconic digger, these compelling voices convey the range of wartime experience, from the desolation and horror to the unbridled excitement and camaraderie. Through it all runs the bleak toll on young lives.
Author and journalist Mark Dapin has selected writing from those on the frontlines as well as behind the scenes, from officers and soldiers to nurses, engineers and reporters, to create a volume that will be regarded as the definitive record of the personal experiences that forged the emerging national identities of Australia and New Zealand.
About the Author
Journalist Mark Dapin is the editor of The Penguin Book of Australian War Writing. His latest novel, Spirit House, set on the Burma Railway during the Second World War, was longlisted for the Miles Franklin Literary Award and shortlisted for the Age Book of the Year.

Giraffe Jewelry Ofcourse !! Thank You So Much
♥♦•:*¨¨*:•❀♥ Welcome to Girlie Gals ♥♦•:*¨¨*:•❀♥
Hi to all! I'm a Grandma/Gammy in South Texas. I started making jewelry a few years ago mainly for myself, family and friends. Then I discovered the large hole European style beads and went crazy. I was having so much fun with all the different styles, colors and of course beads, beads, beads; I even got my daughter hooked on it too.
Being from South Texas and living near the Gulf of Mexico, I naturally turn to nature for a lot of inspiration - that's where my Beach Collection was conceived. The seashells, corals and more are a joy to work with. After becoming a member of the Hill Country Bead Society and the South Texas Beaders, I have enjoyed learning new techniques and styles with a varied assortment of materials. The wire wrapping and wire crocheting has really been a fun challenge. I'm also learning and enjoying the many handmade beading jewelry. It's great to expand your horizons and I love what I do, so I hope you will enjoy wearing my jewelry as much as I enjoy making them.
Making custom orders is a real delight so if you see something you like but would prefer it in a different color or size, please just let me know. I've done many wedding orders and special orders for specific reasons or occasions. If you have a certain theme in mind, we can work together to create that special piece. I'm here for you and will do my best to make you something unique and lovely.

A female private accused a Fort Hood noncommissioned officer of recruiting her into a "prostitution ring" at an on-post Article 32 hearing Tuesday.
The woman, who was granted immunity by the government for her testimony, said she was having financial difficulties when Sgt. 1st Class Gregory McQueen approached her to discuss working as an escort to high-ranking noncommissioned officers and civilians.
"Basically, it was having sex with higher ranking officers for money," the woman said.
She also testified that McQueen took photos of her while she was naked and had sex with her, asking her to "act out" what she would do with possible clients.
McQueen was a sexual assault prevention officer with III Corps' Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion at the time of the incidents, according to investigative records.
The woman's testimony is part of a hearing to determine whether McQueen will face a military court-martial on more than 21 criminal charges, including pandering, conspiracy, adultery and sexual assault.
Tuesday morning's witness was the same soldier who testified against Master Sgt. Brad Grimes in December. She said McQueen helped arrange for her to have sex with Grimes for $100.
Grimes, 37, was found guilty of conspiring to patronize a prostitute and solicitation to commit adultery.
More witnesses are expected to testify, including another female private who claims McQueen sexually assaulted her and tried to recruit her into the alleged ring.
For the latest on the Article 32 hearing, read today's Killeen Daily Herald or go to KDHnews.com/military.

AN unemployed strongman who was hailed a hero during the recent floods has landed a job — after impressing residents with his work ethic.
Man mountain Dan Kenny 'worked like a horse' to help people living in Riverside Drive in Prestolee after the River Irwell burst its banks and flooded houses on Boxing Day.
The 25-year-old from Moses Gate read about the flooding online and went straight to Riverside Drive with friends and stayed there all week for the big clear-up.
The community was so impressed with his tireless work that Mr Kenny was offered several different jobs — and he has now accepted a role with Bolton property restoration firm Heightvale.
Mr Kenny, who is expecting his first child with wife Kim, said: "I was over the moon to be offered jobs and really pleased to accept the role with Heightvale.
"When I read about how bad the flooding was I didn't feel that I could just sit back and not do anything — I thought there must be something I could do to help.
"I just did what I think a lot of people would do and started clearing up — I am a big guy so I did quite a lot of shifting for people.
"The residents were great. They were really grateful to everyone who went to help out — there was loads of people volunteering."
The job offer from Heightvale came via Marie Waters, who runs the Stoneclough community Facebook site and had seen Mr Kelly in action.
She spoke with her husband Tony who works at Heightvale and after a brief interview, Mr Kenny was hired.
Mr Kenny, who competes in strongman competitions, had been looking for work for three months before the floods.
He said: "I met with Tony and got offered the job which was great, I think I will be doing quite a lot of the same kind of stuff as I was doing at Riverside as the company helps with clear ups after floods.
Ms Waters added: "Dan asked to join the Facebook group and then just told me he wanted to do anything he could to help.
"Straight away I took to him, he was such a nice chap and so polite.
"Then he turned up with some friends and just worked like a horse all week — he got wet and filthy but just kept going."
She added: "I told my husband what a good lad he was and he picked Dan up and had a quick chat with him in the car — that was all he needed to offer him the job.
"It is great that the thing that brought Dan into our village and into our lives is the same thing that he will be doing in his new job — he really deserves it."

The British Prime Minister
In a speech described by aides as "resetting the pro-European case", Labour leader Ed Miliband will say that, under Mr Cameron, Britain leaving the EU has become a realistic prospect for the first time in 30 years and pro-Europeans need to argue their case "in a new way" to avert such a damaging outcome.
In a separate intervention, David Davis, Cameron's rival for the Conservative leadership in 2005, will call for a "mandate referendum" within the next year on the powers that voters would like repatriated from Brussels, followed by a second referendum after a renegotiation of Britain's relationship with the EU.
The prime minister will go to Brussels later this week for talks on the EU budget knowing he has little chance of achieving the real-terms cut demanded by Conservative Eurosceptics and Labour in a House of Commons vote last month.
Mr Miliband is sensitive to the charge that voting for an EU budget cut meant Labour was abandoning Europeanism and, in a speech to the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), he will seek to cast the European case in modern terms.
Mr Cameron's stance poses a grave danger to the UK, he will claim. "For more than three decades, our membership of the EU has seemed to be a settled question. Not any more," the Labour leader will say.
"Public scepticism about the EU has been on the rise for some time. Some cabinet ministers in this government now openly say we would be better off outside the EU.
"And many of our traditional allies in Europe clearly think Britain is heading to the exit door. Those of us, like me, who passionately believe that Britain is stronger in the EU cannot be silent in a situation like this. I will not allow our country to sleepwalk towards exit because it would be a betrayal of our national interest."
Mr Miliband will argue that leaving the EU would be economic folly because investors like Nissan, Tata and Toyota come to Britain to gain access to the single market. "If we left the EU it would be the United States, China, the EU in the negotiating room – and Britain in the overflow room. We would end up competing on low wages and low skills: an offshore low-value economy, a race to the bottom," he will say.
The Labour leader will say the EU needs reform, particularly because its budget "often seems to match the priorities of the 1950s, not the 21st century". He will say that pro-Europeans too often "turned a blind eye" to the EU's failings and that Britain needs to build alliances to achieve reform.
Mr Cameron has virtually committed himself to a referendum on Britain's relationship with the EU after 2015. But Mr Davis wants legislation for a referendum in 2013, for which there is no Liberal Democrats support in the coalition.

Durban - The moment you step on to the verandah and into the new home of Joani Mitchell, former Masterchef contestant and master of many trades, and her electrical engineer husband, Rory, you slow down.
While the couple live close to all the hustle and bustle of energetic Durban North, they've created a haven within it.
The house is perched on a hill with a 180º view of the ocean.
At the top the land has been levelled to make room for manicured lawns, a sparkling pool and a six-bedroom home.
Wrought-iron gates draw back to reveal a pastel grey house with white doors and windows, typical of a style popular among locals.
While this may not be the south of France we have the sunshine, the sea, nature and the foodie culture, which is perhaps why it works so well.
Further, the frenetic world we live in has made home owners crave serenity, rest and relaxation in their private spaces.
And so the Mitchells, like so many others, have taken retreat in neutral and natural tones and textures.
They've grounded their home with solid "aged-looking" wooden furniture and cottons and linen textiles that mimic sun-bleached surfaces.
They've planted a herb garden – emblematic of the Provence style – and decorated with pretty plates, baskets, ceramics and chandeliers (The one in the entrance is by Hellooow Handmade).
Joani, once a fashion designer and lecturer, whose fresh food produce business, Joani's Meza, has recently taken off, is also an avid artist and many of the paintings in her home are her own.
Her husband, apart from designing and building the house, has also been hands on when it comes to the interiors.
One of his projects involved dismantling an old ball and claw table to make one half a dining table and the other a coffee table for the wide verandah.
The open-plan house, accented with duck egg blue and red, is a happy, easy and elegant place with nuances that take it beyond the style it belongs to and into that sought-after realm of private and personal. - Omeshnie Naidoo, The Mercury

By Tina Snell, Staff Writer
The Motley City Council voted Tuesday night to implement professional engineering services with Bolton & Menk consultants on the city's pavement management.
"Pavement management planning is really an asset management tool that is used in conjunction with other capital improvement planning the city may be doing for other services and departments …," said Bolton & Menk in a letter to the city. "The pavement management plan allows the city to better understand where and what the pavement issues are, the costs associated with addressing these issues and how these issues could be addressed on a budgetary basis going forward. Pavement management planning will provide the city an opportunity to better understand street improvements from a preservation-based approach and the value it brings to street life-cycle costs."
Bolton & Menk proposed it would obtain historical information regarding Motley's streets and centerline data from Morrison County. The company would do both a field inventory of city streets and train city staff on doing surface condition analysis.
A five-year plan would also be implemented, along with cost estimates on different street segments earmarked for reconstruction and maintenance.
A working spreadsheet would be developed so city staff will be able to update and determine what areas need to be worked on each year.
"This is a one-time thing for now," said maintenance supervisor Bruce Brotherton. "We will update documents so Motley will get the best bang for its buck."
"It's a good idea to know what our priorities are and have a plan," said Councilman Pat O'Regan.
The cost for data collection would not exceed $2,030. The cost for analysis of the data would not exceed $2,740. If a pavement management planning was required, Bolton & Menk would charge no more than $3,980.
Motley City Council briefs
Other business conducted by the Motley City Council Tuesday night included:
•Voting to make the first payment of $76,959.50 to Di-Mar Construction for water treatment plant work;
•Allowing maintenance supervisor Bruce Brotherton to purchase a 1997 Ford L800, 8.3 liter diesel plow truck with 37,000 miles on it for $32,900;
•Voting to rent three dumpsters at $570 each from Waste Management for approximately two days. Sentence to Serve will be helping the city clean up abandoned property and Brotherton said it would take at least three dumpsters, if not more, to hold all that was left behind;
•Accepting Ideal Construction's low bid of $42,008 for work on Eldredge Street. Because a portion of its bid was higher than PHB Excavating for installing a storm sewer catch basin, the two companies would work together;
•Voting to rewrite bonds at a lower rate (2.201 percent) with Northland Securities, thus saving approximately $30,000 over the 7.5 years left on the bonds;
•Authorizing Clerk/Treasurer Terri Smith to obtain $20,000 life insurance policies for the three full-time employees: Police Chief Brian Madison, Brotherton and herself;
• Telling resident Bob Jenkins it would consider any written proposal concerning the transportation needs of the city; and
•Issuing Y Knot Liquors its annual liquor license and the Motley Fair a temporary 3.2 liquor license for June 20-22.
The next City Council meeting will be held at the Motley City Hall Tuesday, July 8, beginning at 6 p.m.

I. M. Vijayan
Inivalappil Mani Vijayan (born April 25, 1969) is one of the leading Indian football players of modern times. Vijayan started out as a seller of soda bottles in the Trichur Municipal Stadium, earning 10 paise (0.02 Cents) a bottle. Eventually he was chosen to play for the Kerala Police club and rose to become one of the top names in domestic football. A highly aggressive player, he eventually became the highest earner in Indian club football as well as a regular in the India team. Amongst his achievements in the game Vijayan was crowned Indian Player of the Year in 1992, 1997 and 1999. He also represented the victorious Indian team in the 1999 South Asian Football Federation Cup and scored the fastest international goal in history during the tournament, hitting the net against Bhutan after only 12 seconds. He also finished top scorer in the Afro-Asian Games event held in India in 2003 with four goals. Vijayan's talents attracted interest from clubs in Malaysia and Thailand, although he spent his entire career in India until retirement. Since retiring Vijayan has set a football academy to train young players in his home town.
The unmatching story of Vijayan translated into celluloid in 1999. The film, Kalo Harin, was directed by Cherian Joseph. Other members of the team: A. N. Raveendra Das, N. P. Chandrasekharan (Script), N. P. Chandrasekharan (Lirics), K. Raghavan Master (Music) and P. J. Cherian (Cinimatography). This film finds the life of Vijayan as the struggle for existence and expression by a poor Dalit in mordern India. This film won the National Award and the John Abraham Award in 1999. It also attracted mass appeal in Kerala, the home state of Vijayan at that time. Even though a short non feature film, it was exhibited in local theaters through ticket selling. That was a new episode in the history of Malayalam Film Industry. And, the songs of this film, with their folk touch and Dalit vigour, also became hits then.

In 1995, he moved to JCT Mills, Phagwara, which went on to win the India National Football League that year. Bhutia was a top scorer in the league, and was chosen to play in the Nehru Cup.

Mohammed Salim
Mohammed Abdul Salim (born 1904 in Calcutta, India) was an Indian footballer. Famously the first person from the Indian sub-continent to play for a British football team during a short but significant spell with Celtic F.C.
After showing amazing skills as an essential member of Calcutta's Mohammedan Sporting Club side in colonial India, a cousin urged Salim to try his hand at European football. In the summer of 1936 Salim arrived in Glasgow by ship. In August of 1936 Salim was signed for Celtic by manager Willie Maley after impressing and winning over doubters in a trial. Mohammed proved to be an extremely skilful and daring winger at Celtic and became popular with the Parkhead faithful during his time in Glasgow. Salim also became famous for playing the game in bandaged bare feet instead of the customary football boots. On his debut in 1937 Salim, in bare feet, proved exceptional helping Celtic win 5-1. In his second match against Galston, Celtic won 7-1 and his performance led the Scottish Daily Express to write: "Indian Juggler - New Style." Ten twinkling toes of Salim, Celtic FC's player from India, hypnotised the crowd at Parkhead. He balanced the ball on his big toe, lets it run down the scale to his little toe, twirls it, and hops on one foot around the defender. Despite the attempts of the club to persuade him to stay Salim left Celtic, feeling deeply home sick, after only a few months. He returned to Calcutta where he continued his career with the Mohammedan Sporting Club. Celtic had discovered a true gem but the culture shock ultimately prevented the Scottish public from witnessing the full extent of this talent.

Jamie Rhoades & Laurie Link were generous enough to organize a Christmas gift exchange for any ag blogger who wished to participate. I was fortunate enough to receive gifts from Julie from Between the Sunsets of Life. From Kansas she sent honey, jelly, barbque sauce, and a nice photo book.
The unfortunate ag blogger who was to get my gift was the one of the group whose present was/is lost in the mail. Luckily I kept the email that had the link to the gift card and forwarded it on.
I encourage every blogger to make connections like this when ever they appear. Building friendships is what life is all about. It can make the lonely business of blogging much more enjoyable. These new friendships usually lead to being introduced to other online friends. Of which you can never have enough.
Thanks, Jamie and Laurie for the work you put into the exchange.
Or anytime during the year. It doesn't matter when you read this. The planner is ready for you to print out and use at any time. The updates make it even more user friendly.
WordPress's latest update got me to thinkin. The updates always come with a new theme. The one being offered this time is called a magazine style theme. Most magazine styles just don't work for bloggers and business site owners. The main reason? It's too busy. Many magazine styles cram as much text, pictures, videos, links ect. on the home page as possible. This creates a look that is crowded and messy; overwhelming the reader.
Studies have proven when too many choices are offered none are chosen. Site visitors are looking for information. You have seconds to show them what they are looking for or "poof" they're gone. Having too much going on on your page will take precious time finding what they are looking for because of all the distractions.
You might be saying, "Hey, farmNwife. Your site is like that." And you would be correct. That is one of the reasons I'm fixin' to do a redesign of farmNwife.com soon. The home page has way too many images, links, navigation bars …. It pretty much has everything and the kitchen sink above the fold.
I will be going with a more minimalist theme. Now, some magazine themes can be altered to be more minimalist like this one.
I am leaning toward this "one, one, three" layout that I have been seeing. That is what I am officially calling it.
It allows for the visuals and plenty of the important information without over doing it. Here are a few examples with this layout:
I am not saying everyone should have this same layout theme. When you are ready to choose a new theme for your site, think of your readers. The theme should be eye appealing and easy to read. But most of all make it simple for them to find the information they are looking for. Please don't clutter it up.
Tell Me: Are you thinking of a new site design?

Mahindra SUV TUV300 launched at Rs 6
Homegrown auto major Mahindra Mahindra on Thursday launched its new compact SUV named TUV300 in India with a price tag starting at Rs 6.9 lakh (ex showroom Pune).
A compact sub four metre SUV, M is positioning the TUV300 as a "a true blue SUV" and is expected to compete with the likes of Toyota Etios Cross, Hyundai 120 Active and Fiat Avventura which are priced at a range of Rs 6.23 lakh and Rs 8.89 lakh (ex showroom Delhi).
TUV300, which comes only with a diesel engine, is priced up to Rs 9.12 lakh for the top end variant which showcases the AMT (auto gear shift) technology.
With TUV300, the company aims to strengthen its presence in the compact SUV segment. Quanto, another small SUV from the company's stable, has not been able to create sizable presence in the market.
The company is targeting to address needs of those customers who are looking for a pure SUV in the compact segment, which at present is dominated by crossover models.

M had introduced a compact SUV Quanto in 2012 but it did not meet with the success that other models from the company such as the XUV500 and Scorpio had.
Watch More (In Pics) Mahindra SUV TUV300
The design of the Mahindra TUV300 has been inspired by a battle tank with raised shoulders, high front nose, flat roof, high ground clearance and straight bonnet, the company said.
The TUV300 is an all new SUV platform. It has been designed and developed in house by the Mahindra design team. The research and development of Mahindra TUV300 has been carried out at the Mahindra Research Valley in Chennai, the company said.
The vehicle will be manufactured at the company's manufacturing facility at Chakan, where it also produces trucks and other vehicles of Maxximo platform.

New York holds a special place in my heart.
I first went there before Christmas in 2005 when I was wooing my then girlfriend, now wife, Tara.
We jetted back just two months later, in February 2006, when I bought Tara her engagement ring.
And in April 2008 I whisked her back again to celebrate our first wedding anniversary in the Big Apple.
So it was a special trip for us at the end of March when we returned to New York with our little toddler Lexi in tow.
On previous visits we experienced many of the sights, like a helicopter ride over Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty and a trip to the top of the Empire State Building.
We've had lunch in Little Italy before a walk up through Chinatown just as the snow started to fall in what would see us caught up in the 'blizzard of 2006'.
And we'd also enjoyed an anniversary dinner in Gordon Ramsay's restaurant The London NYC and took in a Broadway show (Chicago).
So this time around, with a two-year-old to entertain, it was a very different holiday - but we left with memories every bit as good as when we'd been as a couple.
Central Park is an amazing oasis in the middle of the concrete jungle of Manhattan and it has something for everyone, whether you want to relax, eat or have fun.
We enjoyed a lovely stroll through the park to get away from it all and, on the recommendation of a colleague, headed for the Boathouse by the lake which was a brilliant tip.
It's the perfect place to grab food and drinks and it was really child-friendly as well.
Our little one loved the park's abundance of squirrels, but amongst the many other things to see and do there I'd recommend taking in the Strawberry Fields memorial to John Lennon, a trip round the park by horse and carriage and, if it's inwinter time, you must go to the ice rink. Central Park also has a neat mini zoo, but we decided to take the subway to the Bronx Zoo, which was a brilliant family day out.
A polar bear, giraffes, a lion, tigers, grizzly bears, monkeys, a rhino... it had a good selection of animals on show, although Lexi was as pleased to see peacocks scattered about the paths, as she could get up close and personal with them.
Kids under four go free as well, which was a pleasant surprise for us when we got there.
Back in the rough and tumble of the city, like any toddler our daughter was keen to visit the toy stores.
In any other city that might be unremarkable, but New York has FAO Schwarz, just a hop across the road from Central Park.
And FAO Schwarz has THAT piano.
Their grand piano - priced at a cool $250,000 and made famous in the movie Big - is a must if you have kids and, in my opinion, a must even if you don't.
It's a giant multi-coloured musical floor piano that you can dance on and the great thing is that, as long as you take off your shoes, anyone can have a go.
They have a photographer on hand to capture the moment for you, but you can save the cash by taking your own snaps, they don't mind.
But FAO Schwarz is a great store besides the piano, and you'll love the life-size toy animals, its fantastic signature FAO Schweetz candy shop downstairs and, beside it, if you don't mind splashing some cash, the Muppet Whatnot Workshop where you can build your very own Muppet-style puppet creation!
Our base for our trip was The Roosevelt Hotel in midtown Manhattan, a historic building which isn't immediately evident from the outside but hits you the minute you set foot in the lobby.
Opened in 1924 at the height of the Jazz Age and dubbed the "Grand Dame of Madison Avenue", you'll be forgiven for thinking you stepped onto a movie set on your way in to check in.
And with good reason - the ornate surroundings of the hotel lobby and bar has been used in hit series Mad Men as well as a host of big screen movies, like Wall Street, Maid in Manhattan and The French Connection.
Location-wise it was perfect, it's right in the hub of things beside Grand Central Terminal and not a big walk to Times Square, Central Park or Broadway.
If you're travelling to New York for the first time here's a couple of tips - with tips themselves being the first one.
Apart from buying a gift in a shop, you're expected to tip for everything - a taxi, a pint in a bar, the concierge getting your bag, the waiter bringing your food - and it's customary to tip up to 15-20 percent when it comes to food.
That can make for a pricey meal, and remember too that for most things you spend money on, and this includes food and gifts, you will have tax added on before you pay. And my other tip is via my wife, who checked out movie actress Gwyneth Paltrow's lifestyle website Goop.
Check it out before you go, she has a home in New York so she has all sorts of great recommendations.
We checked out one cool little restaurant called Prune for lunch, but there were loads more we'd love to have tried... but 'til the next time, because we will be back, and we can try them then. - The Independent

Xanthophyll noun
- a yellow pigment that colors autumn leaves
I've never understood why people think of yellow as a spring color. It's always reminded me far more of autumn. Between the rich yellow and the spiky stitch pattern, these socks are perfect for fall.
At their heart, these are a Basic Ribbed Sock (so they fit perfectly), but oh what a lovely rib it is! Slipped stitches and cables keep things lively (and break up pooling) and totally stave off the ribbed sock blues. They're great for guys or girls and are sure to be a welcome addition to the sock drawer when temperatures drop.
These are perfect for you if:
- You love how ribbed socks fit but want something a bit more exciting
- You want to play with cables and slipped stitches
They're not for you if:
- You don't like charts (the pattern uses charts)
- You hate swatching (you need to swatch to check your needle size)

Ask an Eye Doctor and Get an Answer ASAP
Hi. I'm online and happy to answer your question today.
From what you have posted, the duration of his symptoms and the fact that he is getting nothing but worse, I would have to say that it is time for him to see a doctor....and a doctor that is willing to do more then just "mail" him pills.
I'd take him to a 24/7 clinic. If they think that he would be better treated at an emergency room, they will make sure he gets to one.
While my wife would probably agree with the "lock the husband up and see if he lives" approach to medicine I think, as a husband myself, it would be a kinder and gentler thing to haul him to a doctor. ;-)
Is there anything else you would like to discuss at this point or have all your questions been answered to your satisfaction?
I hope this information was helpful for you. But I do work for tips so I want to make sure you are happy with me before rating me. If you have another question on this or a related issue feel free to fire away. And please let me know if the rating system gives you any troubles.Thanks in advance,Dr. Rick
We have been experiencing problems with the chat system for the last few days. Our engineers are working on it. However, I'll switch over to the Q&A system. This system works a lot like 'text messaging' but an email is sent to each of us anytime something is posted to this thread. We can continue to work on your question there..... :)

Rereading Nate Silver: 3. Breakouts
In which, five years before he himself broke out, Nate Silver addresses breakouts.
Breaking Out
Abstract: Nate introduces his new forecasting system—the Player Empirical Comparison and Optimization Test Algorithm—and uses it to go over a list of breakout candidates produced by Peter Gammons' survey of front offices. While the piece provides plenty of amusing-in-retrospect assessments ("Beltre is a small player by today's standards -- 5' 11'', 165 lbs., too small to be a great power hitter, and he might do well to follow Miguel Tejada's example and hit the weight room. If not, he's more likely to follow the long but unremarkable career path of his most historically comparable player, Aurelio Rodriguez") of players who are now old, it's more about the nature of breakouts, and whether common themes stick out to help us predict them. Among the rules of thumb:
Key quote: "If one needs any reminder that lists like these are little more than a grownup's version of pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey, it's worth reviewing a similar list that Gammons produced last year. That list includes roughly equal representation of the good (Alfonso Soriano and Derek Lowe), the bad (J.D. Drew), and the ugly (Juan Uribe), as well as four players whose performances were so impressive that they made repeat appearances on this year's list."
Tangential reminder buried within a link within the piece that the 2003 draft was so, so bad, and also that spelling amateur players' names can be tricky:
10 players we can't wait to see drafted in the first round come June
Tables: 0
On the Nate Silver Must-Read Scale: 1

I really wanted to like this show. But I just can't get into it.
I have watched all 7 seasons and always hoped it would get better but the only episodes I liked where the ones that featured the Borg. Most of the time I was simply bored to tears. While I like Patrick Stewart, it is not enough to keep me engaged when the rest of the cast is forgettable, the characters Troi, Dr.Crusher and Riker being the worst.
The stories were boring or preaching and always cheesy.
Maybe I would have liked the show better if I had seen it when it came on TV years ago, but today it looks outdated.
And this has nothing to do with it being shot in the 80ies, I like the original Star Trek, so it must be something else.
I can't recommend this show to anyone, I hardly understand the fascination with it.

Seacoast Rep Presents CHICAGO, Now thru 8/26
A dark musical comedy, Chicago delivers the answers to the questions above, along with steamy dancing and powerhouse vocals. We follow Velma Kelley (Christine Dulong) and Roxie Hart (Jessi Trauth*), two murderesses with only one thing in common; they both killed in a moment of passion to obtain fame. Set in the roaring 20's, the city of Chicago is the backdrop to the jazz-laden, booze-filled decadence of the times. Hilarity and tongue-in -cheek court room drama ensue as the ladies of the Cook County Jail fight for their "innocence".
The cast shimmies and sparkles with Michael Karraker (Billy Flinn), Jamie Bradley (Amos Hart), Scottie McLaughlin* (Mary Sunshine), Ashley Kelley(Matron "Mama" Morton). A true ensemble show, the dancers and shakers include Jenny Taylor, Rebecca Rudolph, Corrine Tork, Jennie McGuiness, Lauren Kay, Joe Meallo, Jeremy Abram, James Avance, and Nick Madson.
Directed and Choreographed by Brian Swasey, who brought some of the Rep's most beloved musicals to life (Altar Boyz, RENT, Hairspray), Chicagopromises to be a wild trip into the seedy, and scintillating era of when vaudeville was king, and all you needed was a spotlight to guide you into salvation.
Chicago runs tonight, July 20th-August 26th 2012. Thursday-Sunday. Ticket prices range from $20-$42. To purchase tickets call the box at 603.433.4472, Or visit in person at 125 Bow Street, Portsmouth NH, or visit The Rep online at www.seacoastrep.org. Parental Discretion is advised for Chicago.

IOOF Investment Management has completed its purchase of a 27,000 square metre office, warehouse and industrial property at Melbourne's West Park Industrial Estate for $24 million. The company bought a $19 million property at the same Australand estate in September 2011. IOOF's head of property investments, Simon Gross, said the assets would go into the Property Plus diversified trust. "Having recognised investors' requirements for funds which deliver relatively high and consistent returns during periods of economic uncertainty, IOOF has allocated an additional $90 million to acquire prime properties," Mr Gross said. Colliers's Peter Evans and Tony Luliano and Australand's Andrew Hanna worked on the deal.Ainslie Chandler
MYOB has secured the largest single office floor in suburban Melbourne on a 10-year lease. The 5032 square metre Springvale Road property was the former headquarters of Centro. CBRE's Richard Height and Anthony Park negotiated the deal on behalf of Centro with Matt Foldes of APP Corporation on behalf of MYOB.Rebecca Thistleton

The expansion is expected to be complete late next year.Ainslie Chandler

North Korea's nuclear ambitions have been the focus of global attention in recent days but China's own plans in this area were also briefly on display.
I say briefly, as it was clearly not part of the tightly controlled script.
The incident, as the Chinese are surely now referring to it, took place at a press conference held by the Minister for Technology,
During questions, the minister was under fire from some foreign journalists over suggestions that a portion of the country's military spending was being channelled through the technology budget. Such accounting tricks allow China to claim its military spending will rise by "only" 10.7 per cent this year to $116 billion.
Nobody believes this is the real number – it could be 50 per cent higher – but the Technology Minister dutifully denied his department was working on any military projects.
Then for some reason Wang revealed his scientists were trying to develop a "small-scale nuclear device".
"If successful, maybe we can put it on a vessel," he said. "But the research will take a long, long time."
Given there's not much use for nuclear-powered cargo ships or speed boats, most minds immediately turned to an aircraft carrier.
But before this thought could be processed, the live webcast went dead.
Those not at the press centre in Beijing, switched over to the transcript, but when it came out it was vastly different to what the minister had actually said.
There was no mention of the word "nuclear", only Wang saying there was a "clear dividing line" between scientific research and military spending.
And just to confirm the minister had strayed from his briefing points, there has been no mention of "small-scale nuclear devices" in the state-run media since the press conference on Thursday evening. It's not clear, however, if Wang's propaganda masters were annoyed about him disclosing the nuclear project or saying it would take a "long, long time" to complete.
The idea of China building a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is not an entirely new concept but it had been little more than rumour until Wang's press conference.
Western military analysts can now assume one is on the way, it's just a question of how long it takes to develop.
This follows the Navy taking delivery late last year of its first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning, a remodelled Soviet era carrier.
Rumours of an "indigenous carrier" have been swirling ever since and they intensified last month when a state-run ship builder, the China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, briefly revealed it had received funding for two nuclear research projects.
Like the minister, its disclosure was quickly withdrawn. The state-run media then largely ignored the story.
But a spokesman for the ship builder did confirm the company would develop "key technologies and safety for nuclear-powered ships".
This is all part of China's "blue water strategy" of projecting greater power in the region at a time of increasingly fractions territorial disputes with Japan, Taiwan, the Philippines, Vietnam Malaysia and Brunei.
Ultimately China aims to become a maritime power, as outgoing president Hu Jintao said last year.
But this is some way off.
Beijing is certainly in no position to challenge the United States' naval power any time soon. Its remodelled carrier, which was a tourist attraction in Macau before being bought by the Chinese, will be used only for training and development in the near future.
In other words, the Chinese need to learn how to drive their new toy.
And analysts believe it could take decades for China to have a single carrier group in operation that could rival the 11 the US has in service. Part of the problem for China is the lack of air power to go with any new carrier group.
So there should not be too many immediate concerns over China's plans for a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, but the minister's slip does send a very strong signal that Beijing has big plans for its Navy.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/4/2012 (1957 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Spring offers bunches of flowers and bunches of news stories, too. In fact, there are often too many stories from which to choose. For this reason, this column will highlight an exotic idea, a study you don't need to lose sleep over, and a local contest.
Love them or hate them, creatures like snapping turtles or alligators are still part of the animal kingdom. And while many of us prefer to see them on film, or in a zoo, we still respect them and wish to protect their right to live in their natural habitats. Unfortunately, there are still individuals who believe they can care for animals, reptiles or snakes that they shouldn't. Last October's tragic shooting deaths in Ohio of tigers, bears and lions exemplifies the dangers of operating a private exotic animal park.
Some misguided people own exotic animals because they like the idea of collecting something unique. Others admire a creature and acquire it without understanding its size or the risk. Unfortunately, animals are the ones that all too often suffer -- abuse, neglect or death -- for human miscalculation.
We may assume that most of the problems that arise from keeping exotic animals happen abroad, but Manitoba has seen its share. In 2008, a Winnipegger was bitten by his pet Gaboon viper, known for having the highest venom yield of any venomous snake. Antivenom had to be rushed in from Ontario to save his life.
Governments create laws meant to protect man and beast. Some owners of exotic creatures will move to a locale where their pet is banned. They worry what will happen should their pet be discovered and the financial penalty given that the city fines dog owners $250 for not having a licence.
It's for this reason, that I loved the story recently published in the Free Press. It outlined an animal amnesty in Connecticut. Owners of illegal animals there were urged to voluntarily turn in their pets without penalty. The authorities received alligators, snapping turtles and pythons, all of which got proper homes.
-- -- --
Last year, I wrote about a study that attempted to show that pet owners put themselves at risk by sleeping with their pets. While there was evidence showing zoonosis (disease transmitted from animal to humans) occurred between pet and owner, it didn't find proof that this occurred because of them sleeping together.
An Australian study, however, offers a different theory: sleeping with your pet may be better for you than sleeping with a human.
I say may be better, because the report simply mentions the format of the study, its author and the amount of respondents (13,000). I'd love to use the results to prove to my husband that my dog deserves to take up more than half our bed's space, but there were no links to the study so its significance could not be measured. Without it, the study should be taken with a grain of salt.
-- -- --
Those last two stories were interesting tidbits, but this last story may be a call to action for kids and youth.
Doug Speirs, Winnipeg Free Press humour columnist, B.C Lions fan and buddy of mine, is set to do a local pet advocacy engagement. He'll moderate a Q &A at Rob Laidlaw's book launch. Laidlaw is an author of No Shelter Here and is the executive director of Zoocheck Canada. He has also authored three children's and young adult books. Laidlaw wants to raise awareness of animal cruelty to children and young adults.
This Winnipeg Humane Society-sponsored event is not only meant to showcase Laidlaw's books. The WHS is holding a contest (which began on April 3) called Dog Champion of the Year. The winner is the child or teen who can explain how he or she is a good pet advocate.
The victor will get a boxed set of Rob Laidlaw's books on animal advocacy and receive the award by HOT 103's Ace Burpee. The winner's story and picture will be on Ace Burpee's blog, the Hot 103 Facebook page and WHS website and blog.
Those interested in participating in the contest should submit a 250-400 word essay about how he or she has been an animal advocate to: firstname.lastname@example.com. The winner will be announced at 2 p.m., April 15, at McNally Robinson Booksellers.
For further information, go to: www.winnipeghumanesociety.ca
On the same day, quilt aficionados and animal lovers are invited to the bookstore to participate in an auction of a lovely animal quilt. Proceeds will go to the WHS.
