Hi! call me Don
I was born as Lawrence Huntingdon-Rusch-de Robillard, adopted and renamed again. I was reborn on June 6th 2012 as the Writer Don Darkes. My choice of pseudonym is due partly to the fact that I am penning a Biographical Memoir entitled My Life of Crime, the memoir of an intriguing man, the "real" Don Darkes who was marked with this identity at birth to protect a secret and the fact that like him, my given name also conceals my true heritage. The irony in this tickles my love of the bizarre and my sense of the ridiculous. Of course it makes marketing sense too since any of my "real" names would fill a book cover and leave no space for the Title!
Following a number of exciting and successful careers in Construction, Manufacturing, Information Technology, Franchising and Entrepreneurship I find myself combining them all into my new role as an Author.
I repudiated my Psychology degree in the mid-seventies prior to serving my mandatory National Military Service in a top-secret Electronic Warfare unit, clandestinely deployed in Rhodesia, (Now Zimbabwe) a horrendous episode, for which I later received a medal. (novel in progress)
During the eighties, at the height of apartheid, together with (then) illegal "black" partners I built a successful manufacturing company. Following a series of traumatic events I sold it and opted-out to buy the yacht upon which I was shipwrecked together with my wife, our five year old son and four year old daughter. ( Non fiction novel, Pisces the Sailfish) After returning destitute to South Africa I rode a ripple in the dot.com wave and sold my Internet start-up in order to distribute organic chocolate and to research a challenging historical novel exploring an intriguing link between the Jewish Holocaust and Madagascar. ( Novel in progress– Bread from Air)
Currently, together with my wife, son and two daughters we are building another yacht whilst I work on several books with a common denominator; my love of history and my belief that fact is stranger and far more interesting than fiction.

Alberto Arcia
on Nov. 17, 2012 :
Pisces, The Sailfish by Don Darkes is a riveting story about a man who drops out of city life, and uproots his family to find an alternative lifestyle. The family moves into a jinxed sailboat and take residence in a yacht club marina. The description of a yatchie's life is humrous, eye-popping, and if you ever considered doing such a thing ... Don Darkes experiences will talk you out of it. Everything that could go wrong with the boat, did. You endure with them; you pull for them, and you marvel at their travel and experiences, especially in Madagaspar. A mysterious place to say the least. Don Darkes shows us the spirit of "true grit" - This novel is for everyone who's spirit of adventure lurks on the perimeter of his soul. I give it five stars because its entertaining, has practical and useful information, and very gutsy.

Reviewed by Alex Canton-Dutari
While reading the introductory notes by the author I was assured of two main things: 1- No excess of sailing lore and 2- References to South Africa's apartheid from an observers viewpoint.
The reference to the boat's curse I interpreted more as a vehicle for the story to develop. On the other hand, "Sailing is the price I reluctantly pay for the time I enjoy anchored safely in a new port" assured me that this book was about more than sailing.
A hint of a feeling of revenge opened my mind to an underlying story, which was masterfully portrayed. And I was admired, as a clinical psychologist, that such a painful secret was patiently carried by the main character's soul until the right moment.
I appreciated learning some traditional South African rites such as brai, which is also practiced in my country, Panama, though not in an official racist and gender apartheid, in the countryside.
The sandblaster incident was hilarious, and the ancestral beliefs and traditions of the people of Madagascar were valuable cultural inputs.
There were mild grammar slips, though they may be actual bits of South African lore when the author related to something that really hit home.
This is an author whose works I shall continue reading.
About the boat's curse? I think it actually enhanced the owner's life.

Review by:
Brian Morgan
on Oct. 09, 2012 :
The first thing I have to say about this author is that he is a real storyteller. In fact, 6692 Pisces the Sailfish, which turns out to be the first memoir by Don Darkes, is a series of stories that will keep you turning pages long after you should be asleep. I believe I can promise you have not read stories like these.
Pisces is a series of true stories in the author's life, yes, but it is also a series of disasters. Real disasters. This man should not be alive to tell the tale today.
Yet, he says, disaster was the best thing that ever happened to him. He lost every material thing he owned, but discovered that the only true possession of real value is love and family.
What really intrigued was the fact that Don Darkes had a poisonous secret trapped inside him that was only released when someone he hated, someone that he had tried to murder, died. For 20 years, this story was bottled up inside him before he could write about it. What could cause such hatred? I wondered. Well, I found out, but I'm not going to ruin the story for you.
I'll just say that Don and his family set sail in a cursed yacht on the adventure of a lifetime and the events that followed would not be believed if you read about them in fiction. But truth is stranger than fiction, is it not?
I have to say that the book could do with a bit more editing and it contains plenty of adult content. And some of the graphic detail was a bit too much for such a sensitive soul as my goodself (says he with tongue in cheek). However, I also know that the book will absorb you and leave you thinking about it long after you've finished reading.
There are some serious themes here, though often relieved by humour and attitude. It's the true story of how one family overcame tremendous odds to survive together and bounce back looking for more adventure.
If you like daring adventure, if you like the idea of an incredible fight for survival, if you like the outcome of a family welded together forever, then I certainly recommend this book for you. Five stars for honesty in storytelling.

(no rating)
An exciting story of escape and one family's adventures on the
high sea aboard the sailing vessel "6692 Pisces". Superstitious
sailors and humorous moments unfold throughout the story.
Touching accounts of unity and high sea terror as faulty packing material allows incoming seawater overwhelms the bilge pumps. The fear that strikes the heart of knowing your vessel is sinking. "Land ho! Land ho!" fills the heart with mixed emotions of excitement and relief. "6692 Pisces" is a must read for those who have an adventuresome spirit.

Living the universal dream, the author and his family set off on adventure, buying a yacht and setting sail to see the world. However, they are unaware that the boat is affordable because it is cursed. Despite warnings, they remain optimistic. Small setbacks keep delaying their departure, but they are unswerving in their determination. They finally set out o their first cruise, but one difficulty after another seems to befall them.
This is an often amusing, sometimes disturbing memoir.

After appearing in the range of rumors and speculation, Activision finally unmasked the mystery of a teaser site that could be launched some time ago. Sure enough, as predicted by so many sources during the last weeks of this, Activision finally introduced the latest COD series for the year 2013 – Ghosts. This confirmation also slid from along with a live-action video that became the first teaser how to get madden mobile hack?.
Unfortunately, confirmation of the existence of Call of Duty: Ghosts is not accompanied by clearer detail. Teaser released also just show a bit of background themes that will be carried by Infinity Ward and Activision for this series, in which the mask appears to be the main attraction. Activision promises to reveal much more detail, including its gameplay side in the event the next-gen Xbox announcement from Microsoft on 21 May.
A live-action teaser launched to confirm the presence of COD: Ghosts. Activision and Infinity Ward promises more detail, including the gameplay in the upcoming May 21, 2013, at the latest conference announcements from Microsoft XBOX console.
One thing they confirm? Mark Rubin of Infinity Ward insists that COD: Ghosts will be present with a new engine. Whether he will carry Activision's next-gen engine that had surfaced a few weeks ago? Activision still kept his mouth shut. COD: Ghosts itself will be launched for the PC, Playstation 3, XBOX 360, Playstatio 4, and the next-gen Xbox console.
Can COD: Ghosts stole the hearts of gamers military shooter FPS lovers? Or whether it will fall on the gameplay and the characteristics of the COD franchise admittedly, begin to feel monotonous? We look forward to any more detail on 21 May 2013.

Splish Splash Darter ParkEdit
Chris treats the cast to a special for making it this far. He takes the cast to a water park which is abandoned and tells them that last person who isn't hit with a dart by Chef and him gets the dinner of their choice. He said they don't need to be with teams. DJ, Cody, Noah, & Ezekiel go together. Duncan & Owen travel together. Gwen, Lewshana, & Trent go together. Heather goes alone (like Justin). Courtney goes with Bridgette. Beth goes with Eva, & Lindsay. The last two are Harold teamed up with Tyler. Chris finds DJ's group at the water slide and aims for DJ & Ezekiel. Ezekiel jumps into the slide and dodges the attack, and the other dart hits Cody. Cody said to get Chris back for that and then fainted. Noah screams and jumps. DJ then jumps after and Chef gets DJ when he did his homing attack. Bridgette and Courtney talk about their relationships, Courtney tells Bridgette that Duncan is rebellious, messed up, annoying, and most importantly a rule breaking idiot. Bridgette then disagrees and says that she is so crushing on Duncan. Then Chef hits Bridgette, and Courtney said hey, and then quickly ran. Owen & Duncan met up with Tyler & Harold. Harold got hit in the face (courtesy of Duncan), then they got into a major arguement. Owen & Tyler talk about how they just landed in a trap and that Harold has to get them out. Harold gets his kit out and asks Duncan to help, Duncan then said Harold isn't the boss of him and kicks him and then runs away. In the Confessional: Harold says that Duncan deserves to get out since most people don't like him. In the Confessional: Duncan says that Harold has no right to be saying that to him and that Harold won't get far in the game if he kept doing that. Heather & Justin pass each other but quickly get out. The trio all go to the dragon ride and Trent thinks its a bad idea and wait while they go on. Gwen said they'd go together, that's when Lewshana thought Trent and Gwen were perfect for each other. Chris sneaks up on Lewshana and shoots Trent down. Gwen then gets scared and jumps into Duncan's hands. They look at each other awkwardly and run in different directions. Tyler says that Chef is behind Harold, Harold takes that as a joke and keeps helping them. After Owen & Tyler are free, Harold is shot and Owen is shot. Tyler runs for his life and the remains continued on. Beth's team was camping out in the underground burrows area. Chef, is at the beginning of the tunnel and shot. The darts hit Lindsay and Beth. Eva runs out and the remains were Duncan, Noah, Ezekiel, Gwen, Eva, Lewshana, & Tyler. Once everyone met up... Chris & Chef shoots rapidly at the same time. Noah, Ezekiel, and Tyler were out. As the rest of the cast ran, Chris shot Eva. Duncan & Gwen both said that no matter what, they'd stay together in the challenge. Lewshana had a close eye on Duncan to see if he did anything suspicious with Gwen, but at that moment Lewshana's been shot and Duncan & Gwen won the challenge. They both went on a "date" (if you want to call it that). Gwen said you're pretty good at this, and Duncan just smiled at her and said let's go. Then Chris signs off the show and declares that Duncan & Gwen were the best at this.

Gifts for the hard-to-buy-for Guy
It seems that it's often more difficult to come up with good gifts for men than it is to find suitable gifts for women. You might choose the usual shirt and tie and other "traditional" gifts for the male persuasion, but – in general - it's often a real chore to select a suitable men's gift, especially for the man who seems to have everything or the gentleman who's particularly picky.
If you've got someone like that on your list, whether it's a family member or friend, perhaps you've been in a quandary when it comes to gift-giving. Gift cards are boring, he's got a whole shelf full of baseball caps, and he really doesn't need any more bad sweaters. So, what do you get him? How about a personalized gift emblazoned with his name or initials – a gift that is truly his and quite unique?
There are many personalized gifts for him that are decidedly masculine. One of those is the flask. Many men of all different ages like to carry flasks, especially during the cold winter weather when they need a little alcoholic libation to keep them warm. Some men bring their flasks to the football game, others keep it tucked in their jacket pocket at all times, carrying a dram or two of their favorite whiskey or other liquor. Some men carry a flask because they like to spike their espresso at the end of the day or after their evening meal out with friends. For that reason, personalized flasks would be an ideal gift for many men.
Personalized flasks come in all sizes and shapes. Many are silver plated and some have leather trim. You'll find some that are very traditional in style while others are rather whimsical, including some that are shaped like a cell phone or other common item. No matter which you choose, however, you can personalize it with name or initials and sometimes a date.
While not everyone carries a flask, everyone DOES carry money. Hence, personalized money clips are another excellent gift for the man who has everything. Money clips are generally designed to hold both paper money and credit cards and are often easier to carry than a wallet. They take up less space, cause less wear and tear on his pants, and are easy to handle.
Like flasks, personalized money clips come in a variety of styles, from the very traditional dollar sign-shaped clip to other designs that are much more contemporary. Some include logos, such as those that belong to NFL or MLB teams, while others are quite plain and classy, featuring his initials or name. Both personalized money clips and flasks are very masculine and can be given for a variety of occasions including birthday, Father's Day, graduation, and retirement.

Mudjimba Cottage Couples Retreat 250m to surf beach
1 bedroom Cottage for rent in Mudjimba
$100.00 - $300.00*per dayprice range estimate for 2 guests*
This stylish pet friendly couples/singles retreat is tucked away very close to the beach at Mudjimba. It is new to the holiday accommodation market and so has no reviews as yet.The mature trees shade the cottage so private, 2m high fully fenced and secure garden area, for you and your pets. The little deck area is north facing and the cottage is light filled.
Only 250m to the surf beach and 150 m to the local eateries of unspoiled Mudjimba Beach on the Sunshine Coast midway between Caloundra and Noosa.
Mudjimba cafes are dog friendly and the locals are very welcoming. Dogs allowed off lease about 1km down the beach and on lease on the front main beach and parks. An extensive bike track and a still water dog offleash area in the nearly Maroochy River are added attractions.
Mudjimba has a Coles 1.5 km away with all the other shops and services you would expect for convenience but the area where the cottage is close to the beach, is a local secret with state forests surrounding it and only infill development possible.
My pet friendly cottages all allow dogs inside and charge no extra cleaning fee (apart from the normal $80 exit clean) for having your pets. Pets are allowed in sofas etc and we provide coverings to protect the sofas. All cottages have secure fencing (as we have lived in all of these cottages ourselves and our dogs are escape artists).
If there is a choice between pet owners and non-pet owners both enquiring about the same property at the same time, we will choose the pet owner due to the difficulty of pet owners to find nice clean and secure pet friendly accommodation. You can always borrow a pet for the holiday!
We expect our guests to have their pet's vaccinations and health checks up to date for their pets as they would if going into kennels.
Make a booking request now
No smoking in the house
Bring conversations inside after 10pm
Pets need to have vaccinations and worming up to date as they would if going to kennels.
Leave the cottage tidy as you found it
Relax and enjoy!

6 questions on urban agriculture: A #CityTalk review
In last week's #CityChat with This Big City, we discussed the reinvention of urban agriculture. We take a look at what you thought.
#CityTalk: Is the Future of Agriculture Urban?
Urban sprawl and rapid urbanisation have pushed agricultural lands beyond its core population and supply has become a complex logistical endeavour. Perhaps as a response to these shifts in production, urban agriculture has been gaining popularity in cities around the world.

If you want better memory then you should work on getting proper sleep as research has shown that a good nights rest can lead to improved memory. For the study researchers showed 20 photos of faces along with matching names to 14 volunteers who were in their 20s.
Two tests were conducted – first with volunteers sleeping for eight hours and another after a regular day of activities in between. The researchers found that after sleep volunteers correctly matched 12 names and faces. Additionally, length of sleep did not affect memory recall but further research needs to be conducted to confirm such results.
Corresponding author Jeanne Duffy said, "We know that many different kinds of memories are improved with sleep. While a couple of studies have looked at how naps might affect our ability to learn new faces and names, no previous studies have looked at the impact of a full night of sleep in between learning and being tested."
The research suggests sleeping after learning new things could help remember them more so than just partaking in regular activities. And although the study looked at younger adults the researchers believe the findings could be similar in older adults as well.
"Sleep is important for learning new information. As people get older, they are more likely to develop sleep disruptions and sleep disorders, which may in turn cause memory issues. By addressing issues with sleep, we may be able to affect people's ability to learn things at all different ages," concluded Duffy.

Just back from Fairyland Canyon. Yes, it actually exists on a mountaintop in Utah. Before our trip to Zion National Park and Bryce Canyon National Park, I knew my next manuscript would start in this area. Spotting "Fairyland Canyon" on a map when we got there was followed by a resounding, "We have to go there!"
Towering hoodoos fill the canyon like stone people awaiting their fate. Ancient bristlecone pine trees dare you to come close. Some of these trees are thousands of years old and I imagine the magical creatures who have lived among them.
While taking pictures of the canyon, a wind comes up behind me and sweeps my hat down into the canyon. You do not want to go "off trail" here, unless you want to spend the rest of eternity at the bottom of the hoodoos. Photographing a goodbye to my beloved Pikes Peak hat, I notice the log next to it looks like a creature with its mouth open. How many hats has this tree-log-creature eaten?
Borrowing my husband's hat (and holding it on my head this time), we leave this mysterious mountain of rocks and trees. In my mind, I see the characters Josh, Lilly, and Festy wandering through this land – searching. I'll be sure to tell them not to wear a hat.

A disturbing message found Friday at Falfurrias High School, threatening violence against everyone who showed up to school on Monday, led to the arrest of one teen.
The note was found in the boys restroom at the high school on Friday, and on Sunday night, Falfurrias police arrested 17-year old Ricardo Chavera.
Despite that bust, a heavy police presence was still at the school as a precaution Monday.
"We have to take it very seriously," said David Perry, superintendent of Brooks County Independent School District. "This is a felony offense. Unfortunately, some kids might think it's a joke, or for fun. Both me and the police department take this very seriously."
The Falfurrias Police Department, the Brooks County Sheriff's Office and U.S. Border Patrol agents were at the school Monday. According to the superintendent, everyone going into the school had to not only go through a checkpoint, but they also had a controlled access into the school -- only one entrance was used.
Students, employees and even contract workers had to go through a metal detector. Officers were also inside patrolling the hallways.
Chavera's mother said that her son did not do it. She said he was questioned Sunday evening at her house, and police later came back to arrest him.
"When I opened my door, guns drawn to my son. Like 12 cops surrounded my house, going pointing at my son. He is 17. He wasn't armed," Jessica Chavera said. "I want justice. There is no point in my son being in jail. There is no proof."
Jessica Chavera said that another student had been giving her son trouble all year long. She believes it was that troubled student who wrote the note. She said her son is an honor roll student and has never been in trouble. He is also a football and baseball player.
The superintendent said they did have a low attendance rate on Monday.

Spireites hit by Lowry blow
By Lewis Rutledge
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Chesterfield's Jamie Lowry could miss the rest of the season with glandular fever.
Chesterfield defender Jamie Lowry could miss the rest of the season with glandular fever.
Blood tests confirmed his illness as glandular fever after he failed to respond to an initial course of antibiotics, and he has now been advised to undertake at least a four-week period of complete rest.
He will then embark upon a two-month battle to regain full fitness, but Chesterfield boss Roy McFarland insists he will not be rushed back.
"We are really disappointed for Jamie because he has made a real impact on the squad," said McFarland.
"He recently got the chance for some early first-team experience and did a decent job for us in some key matches.
"The important thing now is to ensure Jamie makes a full recovery and, as we do not intend to rush things, it may mean he could be out for the rest of the season."
Teenager Reuben Wiggins-Thomas, meanwhile, has signed his first professional contract after being offered the chance to remain with Chesterfield until the end of the season.
"Reuben has worked hard in training and deserves a chance to earn himself a longer-term contract," praised McFarland.

You may have noticed a bit of a change to the layout of the blog as Jason added a very clear and obvious icon to click for Recallers to enter into the members only section of the blog (by "members" I mean those that have signed up for my 5 minute formula e-course). In addition, lower down on the same side, we have added an easy way for anyone who wants to– to sign up for the course when we open up sales again starting today at 10 AM (EST) but remember it will only be open for 24 hours. I have added a new payment option for anyone who does not want to use paypal.

Following up from Monday post, here is a bit more from that 1998 interview and my reflections looking back today.
Question 6. What was it in those early days that got you really HOOKED on the sport of agility?
Answer 1998: Definitely the challenge of running clean. I also hoped that one day I would be able to have a dog who could weave without me doing that world famous "weave pole dance".
Answer 2011: A question I often get asked today is "what keeps me interested after all of these years." For me it is just the dogs and my drive to bring out the best in them. I think you have to be careful not to lose sight of why you fell in love with the sport in the first place, if that is always what drives you, you will never loose the passion for the sport.
I certainly love the partnership I feel with my dog when we nail a course in competition but I love celebrating the successes in training and seeing major breakthroughs in the dog's learning just as much. I think now the thrill is even bigger when I am able to see all of it happen with a student's dog.
Question 7. You participate in lots of other dog sports such as flyball, competition obedience — what is it about agility competition that you find so challenging and exciting?
Answer 1998: Prior to agility I trained in Dressage. I worked 5 nights a week, for months on one simple little movement with my horse. I loved the euphoric feeling I got when he could consistently get it right. I think agility gives me an outlet for this obsessive approach to training. I still enjoy obedience and flyball. I think training in each of theses discipline helps to build motivation, control and accuracy for the other disciplines. Agility, presents you with constant challenges as there is always one more maniacal judge out there putting together a sequence no one ever thought of before. Agility is dynamic and you must stay dynamic to keep current.
Answer 2011: Today it is the amazing speeds we are going at in agility and taking those maniacal course challenges and making them look effortless is an unbelievable high.
8. How long ago did you get involved in using clicker training for agility and other behaviors?
Answer 1998: I have used a verbal conditioned reinforcer to train dogs since Shelby was a puppy (over ten years ago). I really did not acknowledge the superiority of that plastic child's toy (a clicker) until five years ago. I still use a verbal conditioned reinforcer but only as a behaviour marker not as a tool to shape behaviours.
Answer 2011: I guess I have come full circle now as I don't use a clicker very much in my training today. I use it as a tool where it will improve my training. I actually will plan monthly sessions where I must use a clicker just so that I don't lose my co-ordination. I do recognize now though, that not all responses need a clicker to be shaped and there are occasions where it can interfere with the progress of your sessions.
9. Did all of your dogs initially learn agility using the clicker? (I know Buzz did)
Answer 1998: Not really, although I use a clicker with all of them today. The school I was teaching with back then had a foundation more of lure and correction than pure shaping. I trained with a lot more food and of course mild corrections if the job was not performed properly. We did use a verbal conditioned reinforcer as a marker in training. With Twister I relied more on the clicker and of course Buzz was entirely clicker trained. Today my dogs, and my students dogs, are trained with a foundation of the clicker and a whole ton of play training. All behaviours are shaped and the focus is on interactive play. I don't allow the use of verbal or physical corrections at any stage of training.
Answer 2011: Just for experimentation purposes I have used and not used the clicker strategically with my dogs. With Buzz I used it for everything I shaped. For DeCaff much less. For Encore, as an experiment I didn't use one at all until she was close to two years old. With Feature I now am comfortable with my strategic use where it will be beneficial to the behaviour I am teaching.
10. What are some of the most dramatic changes in agility training methods and handling that you have observed as both a competitor and trainer/instructor over the years since you first became involved?
Answer 1998: People are starting to be more hands off in their agility training. They are letting the dog figure things out more rather than pushing and pulling them. People aren't trying to totally control everything their dog does as they learn things like weave poles, contacts and the teeter totter. The resultant dog you see in the ring has a much better attitude and work ethic. Handling has changed dramatically as well. I remember doing demos with Stoni where a course of 20 obstacles was set, I would let her run it twice and then, for the show, I would sit on a chair in the centre of the ring and let Stoni run the course without me. I paid dearly for that and it took me two years to convince her I really did know the way around the course better then her. People used to try and handle dogs from a greater distance. I believe a strong European influence has caused many handlers to re-evaluate this handling style and run with their dogs more to assist them around the course. I think it makes a much prettier picture of "teamwork"
Answer 2011: Today speed, tight turns, running contacts and a "shrinking world" are the biggest differences in the sport since the time I started back in the early '80s. The internet has made each of us around the world become more aware of all of the tools that are available (a great example is the different number of countries represented on my new e-course) . I believe the Europeans are continuing to lead the way with their experimentation into handling and particular their innovation in course design.
Today I am grateful for this stretch of time working at home. So wonderful! Remember today is your last day to sign up for The 5 Minute Formula e-class. Get on board after 10 am this morning (est ie New York time zone).

I love your comments about dressage. I, too, am a "former" dressage rider. I decided to take an agility class with my dog one winter when it was REALLY cold and I was looking for something to do outside of the cold, cold barn. Within two years I had sold the horses and gotten a second dog (now a third). lol There ARE so many similarities between the two sports and it does fit my personality type very well. I'm glad I'm not the only one to notice it!

Without being indiscrete or anything, could you enlarge more on the European experimentation into handling and innovations in course design ? Or where should I be looking to keep my agility knowledge up-to-date.
Anyone who owns all your DVDs, books, ebooks and articles has more than enough material available for 5 minutes a day training plan…! Your marketing prowess definitely played a part in my signing up!

Okay, I think you've got me signing up. Your marketing strategies have been interesting to watch, with your "Walmart pricing" (prices ending in 97), a limited time to sign up and then reopening for another short time. 😉 Looking forward to what I know will be a very valuable (and fun!) course.

Clever children are being let down by state secondary schools and failing to get top GCSE grades, the schools watchdog has warned
Thousands of the brightest youngsters are not being stretched and many schools have a culture of low expectations, Ofsted said.
Around 65,000 pupils (65%) who left primary school with level 5 in English and maths, one step up from the expected standard, did not get an A* or A in the subjects at GCSE last year.
And just over 25%, around 27,000 children, did not get a GCSE grade B in English and maths.
Head of Ofsted Sir Michael Wilshaw said the figures are unacceptable in an increasingly competitive world.
He said: "Many of our most able students receive mediocre provision.
"They are not doing well enough because secondary schools fail to challenge and support them sufficiently from the beginning."
A Department for Education spokesman said:"Sir Michael is right. Secondary schools must ensure all their pupils – including their brightest – fulfil their potential.
"That's why we are introducing a more demanding and rigorous curriculum, toughening up GCSEs and getting universities involved in A levels.
"We have also introduced new statistics which track the progress of the brightest children."

Kroger Hit with Lawsuit Over Tainted Ground Beef
The suit, filed by tort expert Marler, claims an Ohio customer contracted E. coli from ground beef she purchased at one of the chain's suburban Columbus supermarkets.
A New Albany, Ohio woman filed a lawsuit against the Kroger Co. and a yet-unnamed meat supplier alleging that contaminated ground beef she bought at a Dublin, Ohio Korger landed her in the hospital with the toxic E. coli strain O157:H7.
The lawsuit, filed in Franklin County Common Pleas Court on behalf of Amanda J. Adam, 26, by Seattle attorney William D. Marler, stated that the plaintiff purchased beef patties from the Kroger unit on June 4.
After cooking and consuming the beef the same day, the lawsuit said, Adam began feeling ill on June 8, and over the next two days her symptoms became increasingly severe. By June 10, she was experiencing intense nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps, and was subsequently admitted to the hospital, where she tested positive for E. coli O157:H7. She was released on June 12, and continues to recover from her illness.
A Kroger spokeswoman did not respond to requests from Progressive Grocer for a response to the lawsuit.
The Ohio Department of Health has 22 confirmed cases, including 10 in Franklin County, according to the lawsuit, which claimed E. coli illnesses began surfacing in central Ohio in mid-June, at the same time as a rash of in E. coli cases in Michigan.
By June 20, food safety officials had genetically linked many of the Ohio and Michigan cases; and in the days that followed, the outbreak was traced to ground beef from Kroger stores.
Kroger responded by initiating a voluntary recall on June 25 for all varieties and weights of ground beef products bearing a Kroger label, sold between May 21 and June 8 at Michigan stores, as well as Kroger stores in Columbus and Toledo, Ohio. The ground beef products are marked with a sell-by date between 05/21/08 and 06/08/08.
Kroger has recalled beef and beef products at least five times over the last seven years, the lawsuit stated, adding that since the spring of 2007, over 34 million pounds of E. coli contaminated beef has been recalled by different companies.
After the latest recall, Kroger had posted a "frequently asked questions" section concerning on its Web site, which included:
Q: Why are you recalling this ground beef today?
A: We are voluntarily recalling all ground beef products that were sold between May 21 and June 8, 2008 at Kroger stores throughout Michigan and in central and northern Ohio (Columbus and Toledo areas) because we have been notified by state and federal health authorities that E. coli illnesses reported in Michigan and parts of Ohio have been linked to ground beef products sold in some Kroger stores in those regions.
Q: Is there any of this ground beef for sale in your stores?
A: None of the ground beef is currently available for purchase. We are voluntarily recalling it because some customers may have some in their freezers. If consumers do have Kroger ground beef products - regardless of packaging - with sell-by dates of May 21 through June 8 in their freezers, they should return them to stores for a full refund or replacement.
Q: Am I safe if I ate it?
A: Anyone with signs of or symptoms of foodborne illness should consult a medical professional.
Q: How do I know if my ground beef is cooked properly?
A: Proper handling, storage and cooking of ground beef offers the best protection against food-borne illness. According to the USDA, when ground beef is thoroughly cooked to an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees, any harmful bacteria are destroyed and the ground beef is safe to consume.
Q: What if I have other questions?
A: Please contact Kroger toll-free at (800)-632-6900.

Darren Hiller was hired as the new offensive line coach and run game coordinator. He replaced Greg Frey, who left for Michigan a few weeks ago for a reported raise of $140,000, to $500,000 a year.
Nick Sheridan was hired as the new quarterbacks coach. He replaced Shawn Watson, who recently left after basically a month on the job to become the offensive coordinator at Pitt.
Hiller has coached for 23 years. Last season, he was the offensive line coach at South Florida as well as the run game coordinator and co-offensive coordinator. South Florida had a big-time offense last season, averaging 43.8 points, 511.5 total yards and 285.3 rushing yards. Before that he coached at Cincinnati, Nevada, Arkansas State and Northwestern State.
"I have known Darren Hiller for a number of years and have always been so impressed with him, both as a person and as a coach," Allen said in a university release. "He is a tremendous teacher in the area of the offensive line. Darren does a great job mentoring young men and finding ways to motivate them to play at their highest level. He has been a part of a tremendous offensive attack at South Florida and I think that will continue with us here at Indiana."
Sheridan was an offensive graduate assistant at Tennessee for the past three years where he worked under offensive coordinator Mike DeBord, who recently became IU's offensive coordinator. Sheridan was a reserve quarterback at Michigan while DeBord was there as the offensive coordinator. Sheridan's father, Bill, is the Detroit Lions' linebacker coach.
"Nick Sheridan is a young offensive mind that I am very impressed with," Allen said. "I love the fact that he is a coach's son. He has been around this game his entire life. I know that we feel like we got a young Shawn Watson in Nick Sheridan."
Added Sheridan: "I'm appreciative of the chance to work for Tom Allen at IU, a place that is known for excellence in athletics and is an unbelievable institution. IU is really focused on the student-athlete, giving them a great experience as a student first and athletically in a great conference against great competition. Getting the chance to work for Mike DeBord again is a great opportunity. When it presented itself, I couldn't get to Bloomington fast enough."
While at Tennessee, Sheridan got extensive experience working with the quarterbacks.
"It's exciting to have Nick coach the quarterbacks here, as he did for the University of Tennessee these past two years," DeBord said. "I know I had the title of coaching the quarterbacks, but I was assisting with the offensive line during those two years and Nick had the quarterbacks in meetings, practice and game preparation and did an outstanding job with them.
"I believe that Josh Dobbs success as a quarterback these past two years is not only the result of what Josh did but also what Nick did as a coach in his preparation and continuing his growth. I know he'll continue to do a great job with our quarterbacks at Indiana University."
An All-SEC selection, Dobbs became only the third quarterback in SEC history with 15 passing TDs and 10 rushing TDs in multiple seasons, joining Tim Tebow and Dak Prescott.
Sheridan previously was the quarterbacks coach at passing coordinator at Western Kentucky, then went to South Florida in the same roles in 2013.
While at Michigan, Sheridan threw for 701 yards and two touchdowns while making four starts in 2008.
With the Wolverines, Sheridan earned a scholarship prior to his junior year. He appeared in 12 career games, made four starts in 2008 and closed out his career with 701 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

You ever want to read a comic centered around the dark underbelly of organ sales on the black market?
Yeah, me, neither.
That being said, Image Comics' Harvest #1 is a pretty damn good kick off. Death, crime, drugs, half naked chicks and misery are all mixed together like a pudding snack where one half is dark and the other half is really dark. Writer A.J. Lieberman gives not one fuck about offending people or disturbing them. I suppose you'd need that kind of iron writing stomach to pen a comic about illegal organ sales.
It's a dark and stormy night (I always wanted to write that), and a young man in a hooded sweatshirt steps into a deli to buy all the ice they stock. Why would our mysterious man want that much ice? Well, it turns out he's holding another man hostage and performing unnecessary surgery on him. What's the catalyst for this morbid intro? Harvest #1 doesn't tell you; instead it skips back ten months to a typical family, in a typical house on a typical day. A mother is herding her children to the car so she can get them to school and not be late for her train.
The scene switches to a bloody body laying on an operating table. A middle-aged doctor is removing this poor person's kidney and arguing with a woman that represents his employer. This disgraced doctor wants to stop harvesting the unwanted for their organs. Unable to reach a compromise, this woman blows the doctor's brains all over the body. Seems he was working for a company that doesn't take kindly to early resignation. Remember the mystery man from the beginning? He's also in this flashback, sitting with two drug whores promising him sexual favors for the blue pills. Apparently, at one time, our mystery man was Doctor Ben Dane. Ben stumbles out of the drug scene and to the hospital where he works.
Remember the typical family? They were in such a rush that it caused an accident and the mother, body riddled with damage, is now in front of Ben Dane, waiting to be saved. Problem is, the good doctor passes out from drug use and she dies. Ben loses everything, his job, his life and his money. Left destitute and alone, Ben ratchets up the drug abuse until a Japanese crime kingpin calls upon him to save his daughter with a back alley operation. Having nothing to lose, Ben saves the daughter. Returning home he finds the trigger-happy woman from before and her boss looking to make him a deal. The issue ends with Ben's vision of the little boy from the typical family telling him he's fucked.
There's a lot to drink in with Harvest #1, but Lieberman manages to hold the story together nicely. I'll admit, the fallen doctor turning to the black market isn't a wholly original story, but Harvest's structure and characters keep you involved. Lieberman has a knack for writing realistic dialog and for keeping the story grounded. Too often, these types of comics put all their energy into being "dark" or "shocking". Lieberman focuses on his story and lets the darker elements emerge organically. There's also a '70s film pacing injected into Harvest – the first issue is allowed to unfold instead of racing towards the violence or going just for peaks.
Colin Lorimar is tasked with bringing Lieberman's story to life, and his artwork fits perfectly. It's thin line stuff, lots of strokes and small details to create the scene. Lorimar is especially adept at creating atmosphere. The rainy beginning, the dripping and foul room where Ben performs his first illegal operation; even the hospital scenes have a subtext of sadness and depression. Harvest is a very heavy book and Lorimar's art reflects that. He also loves shadowing, the use of solid blacks and heavy inks help give the issue and overall feeling of being weighed down.
Harvest is a dark, twisted and interesting tale. A volatile mix of life, death, drugs and powerful people doing very bad things.

Belfast Giants lose penalty shootout v Nottingham Panthers in Elite League
Elite League leaders Belfast Giants were defeated 3-2 after a penalty shootout by Nottingham Panthers.
Last Updated: 01/12/12 8:11am
It was the second time on Odyssey ice that the game between these two teams had gone to a penalty shootout, but this time the outcome was reversed as Nottingham picked up the extra point.
David Ling opened the scoring for the visitors on their first powerplay, and they doubled their advantage on their second powerplay through Anthony Stewart's goal at 16.33.
Adam Keefe of the Giants and Nottingham's Guilaume Lepine then got sent to the sin bin as a fight broke out just before the end of the first period.
Belfast finally got a goal in response as Craig Peacock fired in on the powerplay at 17.52 in the third period as the game went right down to the wire.
A dramatic ending then saw Belfast grab a late equaliser just 30 seconds from the end to send the game into overtime - with Gregory Stewart finding the net.
And so to overtime, which failed to produce a goal and it was the Panthers who kept their nerve in the shootout to win it 3-1 and claim that vital extra point.

Wally Lake Fest | Aug 25-27, 2017
The 8th Annual Wally Lake Fest is just a few weeks away and local residents and visitors are looking forward to celebrating the good times of summer on beautiful Lake Wallenpaupack with many activities from sailboat rides and a boat parade to an open market fair and a tour de towpath bike ride.
Wally Lake Fest takes place August 25th through the 27th. Families and friends attend the action packed event celebrating this scenic lake and all it has to offer. The festival gives people the opportunity to have a blast out on the water and on dry land. It's also an ideal way to spend the last summer weekend together before back to school and the Labor Day holiday.
With many events offered at different locations, festival-goers may wonder how they can easily make it from one to the next without concerning themselves with searching for parking spots at each place. While a variety of activities are within walking distance of each other, there are some that require a short drive.
Wally Lake Fest is proudly hosted by the Downtown Hawley Partnership and presented by Lighthouse Harbor Marina.
For more information, pick up a Wally Lake Fest brochure available at the Lake Wallenpaupack Visitors Center and other area businesses. The brochure lists the complete schedule of events for the entire weekend.
Additional details and daily updates are posted on the Facebook page and on the Wally Lake Fest website

2003 Cadillac DeVille Sedan - Consumer Review

I think I have a lemon
By G Franzen on
Vehicle2003 Cadillac DeVille 4dr Sedan (4.6L 8cyl 4A)
ReviewI love the comfort of my car, however with less than 30,000 miles I have had very expensive repairs that should never have happened. Three of the four window chains have broken and all have needed to be replaced (very expensive.) The air injection pump needed to be replaced. There was a horrific odor coming through my ventilation system, then was told I had bacteria in the lines. This needed to be disinfected. The plexi- glass over the speedometer is all streaked (I have no idea) how that could have happened. My engine motor mounts are loose, and, of course, none of these items were or are under warranty and as far as I can tell, none of these items have been recalled.
Best FeaturesDigital speedometer, controls on steering wheel.
Worst FeaturesDarker tint on the windshield and passenger windows. Improved sound system - low quality compared to other vehicles I have owned.

Cenk Uygur, radio host of the Young Turks, wrote in the Huffington Post about three possibilities for Palin's action: she wants to lay the groundwork for a presidential campaign; she wants to cash in on speaking fees and a book advance; and ethics investigations.
If the move is part of a strategy to position her for the presidency, it is a strange one; fellow conservatives such as Karl Rove, Senator Chuck Grassley (R) of Iowa and columnist George Will were baffled. Regardless of the reason for Palin's abrupt announcement, Murkowski correctly refers to the action as an abandonment. Will similarly said that Palin was declaring herself a quitter. None of these criticisms are answered by Palin's Independence Day message to supporters.
On her Facebook page, Palin stated, ""How sad that Washington and the media will never understand; it's about country. And though it's honorable for countless others to leave their positions for a higher calling and without finishing a term, of course we know by now, for some reason a different standard applies for the decisions I make. But every American understands what it takes to make a decision because it's right for all, including your family."
Of course, we haven't been told what the "higher calling" is and why it's "honorable" to abandon one's elected position. One would think that Palin would be proud to reveal her noble intentions, especially since they are "about country."
Palin also stated that her administration had "accomplished more during this one term than most governors do in two." I see. She did enough and earned the right to quit. Senator Murkowski, then, is an ingrate.

Get Rainbow Dust To Adhere To Fondant And Or Frosting
Decorating By Ursula40 Updated 18 May 2010 , 4:39am by tootie0809
Making a castle cake and the top tier is fake, covered with fondant. My customer wants bling and sparkle. I do have pink pearl and rainbow dust, how do I get that to stick to the fake tier? On fresh frosting it shoudl stick all on it's own, right?
1 reply
On fresh, noncrusted buttercream, it should stick okay. For the fondant, you could brush it with some piping gel or a thin layer of corn syrup and then apply the dust to it.

You know, it's quite likely that the two figures who helped Ivy mentioned in New Legends of Project Soul are Edge Master and Kilik, since Edgy has knowledge of Astral Chaos and Kilik is wearing a mask...
...But I'm going to pretend they're actually Zasalamel and Talim.
That's my headcanon, and no one can convince me otherwise!

Kwara State Government has reiterated its determination to further ensure that policies of infrastructural development in the state remain sacrosanct.
The Commissioner for Works and Transport, Alhaji Aro Yahaya, stated this during his maiden meeting with all the contractors handling state government projects at the ministry's conference room, Friday last week.
Yahaya appealed to the contractors to be patient as all hands were on deck to improve and source for finance to drive various projects to completion, adding that the contractors should ensure projects were executed according to specifications and standard.
The commissioner also urged contractors to always approach him with useful contributions that would assist in moving the infrastructural development of the state forward, stressing that "provision of infrastructure to the good people of the state must be a collective responsibilities of all the stakeholders."
Earlier, the Permanent Secretary of the ministry, Alhaji Alabi Amuda, had pointed out that the meeting was aimed at acquainting the contractors with the new leadership of the ministry, stressing that the commissioner had demonstrated his wiliness to work and improve on the existing cordial relationship between the government and the contractors.
Speaking on behalf of the contractors, the Managing Director of BAL Engineering Limited, Engr. Bashir Lawal, thanked the new commissioner and the management for the meeting, but advised his colleagues that the era of business as usual was over and that contractors must do their work according to specifications, to avoid sanctions by the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria, COREN.
He also solicited prompt payment to avoid unnecessary delay in projects completion, and prayed for speedy financial recovery for the state.
Managing Director, Bitto Nigeria Limited, Engr. Ahmad Kola Ibrahim, also advised the government to take advantage of the dry season to embark on road works which he noted is time bound.
A consultant, Engr. Abubakar Aduragba also appealed for prompt payment of contractors which according to him would help to speed up completion of projects.
Kwara State Government has reiterated its determination to further ensure that policies of infrastructural development in the state remain sacrosanct.

I am always excited for Christmas.
Now I wanna decorate 🎄🎄🎄⛄⛄⛄
Yeah.. wooo... the same shit as every year.. and everyone is happy as if its the first time they ever experienced this. And only in this short period of time. After its over everyone goes from 😃 to 😐 like someone turned a switch. Let me tell you something, I dont need a fuckin 24th of December to show the people I love that I love them. I also dont need a special day to make a gift, I just make one when I feel like it. This is so ridiculous to me.. honestly..
I haven't had Christmas (a proper one) in about 4 years. But I like the energy that emanates from western civilisation when Christmas comes around...
I don't like the event as much as I simply like the atmosphere surrounding it. The tranquility is just beautiful.
I like Christmas, it's probably the only time of the year I am truly happy and being someone that isn't religious and I do like to spare a few thoughts for Jesus and I enjoy spoiling my nephew with presents and watching his little face light up as he opens his gifts, that's what I most enjoy about Christmas (along with mince pie ice cream).
Yes, ice cream made with mince pie pieces akin to a concoction you'd find inside a Ben and Jerry's tub of ice cream. It's simply divine, it really is.
I'm excited, I'm always excited for Christmas.
I've always loved the Christmas season, the aura of the holiday season makes me joyous in my heart and soul. :)
I love Christmas!!!
I like Christmas, however I am not fond of the commercial aspect and how it has become all about the presents. I like it because it makes me realize that I have had one more year with family and friends and appreciate that everyone can get together!
Western civilization when Christmas comes around... that horrible music in all streets, those crowded shops selling things nobody really wants, just because it's Christmas.
I don't like that.
... I'm EXCITED! :D
Christmas this year is gonna be awesssssooooooommmmmeeeeeee!
I disagree its not even Halloween yet some stores are already putting up Christmas decorations. Just imagine if we put valentines day decor up now or what not.
I actually played a Christmas song yesterday haha
Not me. Sorry.
nope, I'm in love with the season :) From late October till January 1st!
@elissadido would u like to be ma Kissmas HAWT date baby Sarah 🌹

@ElissaDido lelelel simba hair :3

I'm pumped for it. I'm also really happy for Easter
Christmas brings me sad memories. To me it has become just a sad event.
Yeah I only get excited after we've made the Christmas pudding (early november) as that's the best bit of Christmas
yes u are. i'm excited for the cold tho
There's still Halloween, Thanksgiving, and a few birthdays to get through first here.
Nope. I don't know why but I've been really excited for it too lately. We never even celebrated when I was younger, but I guess it's just the cheery feeling of it is what I'm looking forward to
Nope. I've been looking for Christmas since January :p :)
Always excited for Christmas.
I'm the only one in the family who tries to get into the Christmas spirit, which I lost for this year.
Yes I want presents! 😁 Since my birthday is around Christmas I get twice the gifts.
i am like buddy the elf around this time of the year
Not excited yet. Christmas is to far off yet.
no. I love Christmas.
I don't celebrate Christmas
I'm not Christian
@Clovis93 But I like my religion
But I don't want to celebrate Christmas. It would make no sense
Nah, I love Christmas.
ITS OCTOBER? There is still Halloween, (my birthday), Thanksgiving, and Christmas Eve lol
I will be after Halloween and Bonfire Night :)
@med111 It's something we do in the UK, we have a lot of fireworks and bonfires to celebrate parliament not getting blown up
Yes it's the same thing :)

After the insanity Kevin "ImaluckSac" MacPhee wins EPT Berlin
With news of a 6-figure robbery stealing the headlines, many of us in the poker world seem to have forgotten there was still a tournament to be played in Berlin Germany. The Berlin stop on the EPT which shattered the record for the largest tournament ever in Germany, and came close to eclipsing the EPT record set in San Remo, unfortunately fell by the wayside amidst the absolute lunacy of the robbery that took place.
For the tournament itself, with its massive €1 million first prize, it was the lone American left in the tournament, poker pro Kevin MacPhee, who was able to outlast a table of European poker players. The win is the first major title, and payday, for the young poker pro better known as "ImALuckSac" online.
Money and accolades aside, MacPhee will forever be able to state, "I was the guy who won that tournament that was robbed in Berlin!"
