Miliband pledges Scotland powers
Ed Miliband has pledged to hand "crucial" new powers to the Scottish Parliament if he is elected prime minister next year.
With less than a year to go to the next UK general election, the Labour leader said he was "determined" to bring his party back to power across the UK.
He used a visit to Dundee to announce a n ew ''contract'' with the people of Scotland - five key pledges that he vowed Labour would deliver in its first batch of legislation.
Central to that is a commitment to introduce a new Scotland Act to devolve further powers north to Holyrood.
It comes after Labour's devolution commission recommended Scotland get more responsibility over incom e tax, including the ability to increase the higher rates - along with powers over housing benefit and the w ork programme.
Mr Miliband said: "We are the people who will give more power to the Scottish Parliament and can have the best of both worlds, which is a Scottish Parliament and the strength and security and social justice that the United Kingdom can bring, if we can elect a Labour government which is what I'm determined to do."
With Scots to decide if the country should stay in the UK or not in September's independence referendum, concerns have been raised that a Yes vote could make it harder for Labour to be elected into power at Westminster.
But the Labour leader, who was visiting the Michelin tyre factory in Dundee, said the issue was "much bigger" than that.
"This isn't about that happens to one party if there's a Yes vote," he said.
"This is about something much bigger than that, which is are we going to be a United Kingdom with Scotland in it.
"Personally I think the rest of the United Kingdom benefits massively from Scotland's presence. If you think about our historic achievements, whether it's the NHS or the minimum wage or workers' rights, they came about in part because of Scottish figures, the Scottish political movement.
"So I believe the rest of the United Kingdom wants Scotland to stay. I also happen to believe its in Scotland's interests to stay. In the end that's a decision for the people of Scotland."
Mr Miliband said he was "very proud" it was a Labour government that had established the Scottish Parliament and added: " I'm very very proud we have committed to extend the powers, especially over crucial issues like tax, housing benefit, the work programme."
Mr Miliband's ''contract'' with Scots also includes a pledge to bring in a 50p rate of income tax for top earners - which could affect 14,000 people north of the border - as well as reintroducing the 10p tax band for low paid workers.
Labour would freeze gas and energy prices, and introduce a jobs guarantee for young people who have been out of work for a year or more, offering them a six-month paid position to help get them back into the employment market.
In addition, zero hours contracts would be banned, with workers being given more rights to demand fixed hours contracts, a move which Labour believes could help at least 90,000 workers in Scotland.
"We are less than a year away from a Labour government that will not only give more powers to the Scottish Parliament, freeze energy bills, get our young people back to work, tackle the exploitation of zero hours contracts and have a fairer tax system," he said.
"That's the social justice agenda, the contract with the people of Scotland that I offer."
He stated: " When Labour came to power in 1997, the first piece of legislation to be discussed under the first Labour Government in eighteen years was the Bill to bring about the referendum on devolution that led to the creation of the Scottish Parliament. We have always been the party of devolution.
"And today I want to reaffirm that belief in devolution, with a promise that Labour will bring forward in its first Queen's Speech a new Scotland Act to put in to law the powers proposed by Scottish Labour's Devolution Commission."
He went on: "Unlike the SNP, our commitment to the people of Scotland is not just about the constitution.
"For too long, people across this country have seen a few people at the top doing well, while the vast majority of hardworking people fail to see any reward. That is what we want to change. People are today trapped by a cost of living crisis that is getting worse under this UK Government.
"This is a crisis that neither the Tory-led UK Government nor the SNP Scottish Government can solve."
Mr Miliband said he was "c onfident" that his party had "the right arguments on how you can better create social justice, and we have the better arguments about the big issues the whole of the United Kingdom faces"
He said that "a ll around the world people are dealing with these issues of inequality and the cost of living crisis" adding that the big " question for the future" was which party would best meet that "generational challenge".
Here he contrasted Labour's "social justice agenda" with the policies of both David Cameron's Tories and Alex Salmond's SNP.
Mr Miliband said: "I offer this social justice agenda. Alex Salmond says his top priority if Scotland goes independent is a 3p cut in corporation tax. David Cameron is never going to address a social justice agenda so I think Labour has the best solutions to this problem.
"Here we are in Michelin, what's their biggest issue - energy prices. That's why our energy price freeze is so important not just for families but businesses as well."
He said: " I want to get on with making the big changes our country needs, because I think that is the way forward to create both the prosperity we need and social justice as well."
He hit out at the Scottish First Minister, claiming he could already be putting in place some of the policies the SNP have pledged to introduce if Scotland leaves the UK, such as plans to transform free childcare.
The Labour leader said: "A lex Salmond is making big promises but he could be delivering those promises now, he's in charge of the Scottish Government, childcare is a devolved issue. So if he's got grand plans for childcare why isn't he actually putting them into practice?
"The Scottish Parliament has powers to act, the SNP has failed to act in a whole range of areas, whether that's on issues like the living wage where they are pushing against Labour's plans on procurement and the living wage, or on a whole range of other issues. They're not even committing in the case of an independent Scotland to bring back the 50p higher rate of income tax.
"I think when people look at that they see where the right social justice choice lies."
While he said he understood the " deep frustration" people have with Mr Cameron's government, he insisted independence was not the solution for Scots.
Mr Miliband said: "I understand the deep frustration people have about this Tory Government, I share it, and that's why I'm determined to get rid of them. That's what we are planning to do in less than a year's time.
"We can build a more just and more equal and more fair Scotland within the United Kingdom. That's why we're laying out these detailed plans on energy, on jobs for young people, on a whole host of issues that matter like zero hours contracts, like a fairer tax system, and with greater powers for the Scottish Parliament to make that happen."
After Mr Cameron indicated he would stay on as Prime Minister if Scots vote Yes in September, Mr Miliband said the issue of independence was "not about" individual politicians.
He insisted: "T his isn't about what happens to David Cameron or any individual, this is much bigger than that. This is about what kind of country is the United Kingdom going to be and what is best for Scotland.
"It is not about one individual, it's about the future of a country, and it's about the decision, the big, big, momentous decision that the people of Scotland have to make."
But the SNP claimed Mr Miliband had "nothing to offer" in the debate over Scotland's future, and insisted only independence would guarantee more powers for Holyrood.
SNP MSP Stewart Maxwell hit out: "Ed Miliband's speech today had nothing to offer the debate on Scotland's future - the fact remains that only a Yes vote guarantees more powers.
"And only a Yes vote in September guarantees we always get the governments we vote for and never again have to put up with Westminster Tory governments we didn't elect."
Mr Maxwell said Labour's devolution commission "completely failed to offer substantial new powers" adding that "academics and experts have criticised the lack of vision in Labour's proposals".
He contrasted this with the Scottish Government's white paper on independence, which he said "sets out a detailed vision of what an independent Scotland will look like - setting out how we can work toward creating a fairer Scotland, closing the gap between rich and poor that only grew wider under the last Labour government".
Mr Maxwell said: "The people of Scotland will not be fooled by Labour's promises of further powers. In 1979 we were promised 'a better form of Devolution' if we voted No - but in reality all we got was 18 years of Tory government.
"With a Yes vote in September we will no longer have to put up with Tory policies like the unfair bedroom tax and dumping Trident nuclear weapons on the Clyde.
"In contrast Labour can't even guarantee Ed Miliband will become Prime Minister - never mind the powers Scotland needs to thrive."

Pablo Zabaleta hopes Manchester City's higher Champions League seeding will prevent another 'group of death' when the draw takes place in Monaco on Thursday.
City's current UEFA co-efficient will see Manuel Pellegrini's side in the pot of eight second seeds in the draw, which should hand his club an easier group than in the last two seasons.
Chelsea and Arsenal, should the Gunners qualify, will be in the pot of eight top seeds, and Liverpool among the third seeds.
City were drawn in the same group as Bayern Munich last season but still managed to qualify, while they finished bottom of an even tougher group in the 2012-13 season against Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Ajax.
Argentina defender Zabaleta said: "We know we are Manchester City and have a strong squad to play against the best teams in Europe so we will see the draw and this time if we have a little bit more luck than the last few years.
"We were in the group of death and it has always been tough for us in Champions League - but it is a competition we are looking forward to and hopefully we can do better.
"The rest of the teams see Manchester City as a tough team to have in the group and I think that is the most important thing for us."
The prospect of being drawn in as tough group as that is a worry for Liverpool - with the worst-case scenario seeing the Reds drawn with reigning champions Real Madrid, big-spending Paris St Germain and Italian side Roma.
Chelsea and Arsenal, however, will be guaranteed to avoid the big European powers such as Real, Barcelona, Bayern or last season's beaten finalists Atletico Madrid.
The draw at the Grimaldi Forum in Monaco will see 32 teams drawn into eight groups of four. The English clubs cannot be drawn into the same group as each other.
As in previous seasons, the top two in each group will qualify for the knock-out stages of the Champions League and the third-placed side go into the knock-out stages of the Europa League.

GOODWIN: Murray to leave Sussex CCC03-Sep-2012
After 12 seasons with the Club, Sussex CCC have today announced that Murray Goodwin will not be returning to The PROBIZ County Ground for the 2013 season.
Lauded as one of the finest batsman in domestic cricket over the last decade, Goodwin's Sussex career has been littered with achievement with his sheer volume of runs being a major factor in the Club's decade of success. Goodwin was part of the team which won the County Championship in 2003, 2006, and 2007, the C & G Trophy in 2006, and the Pro40 in 2008 and 2009, along with the Twenty20 Cup – also in 2009 – to complete a full sweep.
With over 24,000 runs for Sussex in all formats, including nearly 14,500 first class runs with 48 centuries and an average approaching 50, Goodwin has been a genuine Sussex legend. With two triple centuries, as well as scoring the runs which won the County's first Championship in 2003, and hitting a six off the final ball of the match to secure the 2008 Pro40, there have been many individual highlights to the career, though first and foremost, Murray has been a great team man, and a fierce competitor.
Speaking today, Professional Cricket Manager Mark Robinson said: "Murray is arguably the best ever batsman Sussex have had and he will be greatly missed and not only on the pitch, but in the dressing room as well by all those he has helped and supported in his time at the Club. I would like to thank Murray for the help he has given me, and the great service he has given to this Club, and wish him, Tarsh, Jaydon and Ashton all the very best for the future."
Murray Goodwin added, "It deeply saddens me that I have to leave Sussex at the end of the season. I have thoroughly enjoyed my 12 years at Sussex, my family have loved every year here, and we feel so privileged to have been associated with this wonderful Club. Our boys have spent half their childhoods here and we feel they have been exposed to the very best of British life, in all its capacities.
"To the coaches, support staff and most of all, my wonderful team mates that I have been blessed to play alongside over the years, it has been an honour and privilege to have had so much success in winning trophies for ourselves and the club. I feel so humbled to be a part of such a wonderful team, club and ethos and offer huge thanks to so many wonderful sponsors and supporters. We are extremely grateful for your loyal friendship and support. I would also offer particular thanks to the best bat makers at Newbery, whose bats have been a major factor in enabling me to achieve success.
"And finally, myself, Tarsh and the boys offer a heartfelt thanks to our many wonderful friends, our family and our support network. We feel your love and support and will always appreciate it."

Ovarian cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the ovaries. Women have two ovaries, one on each side of the uterus. The ovaries — each about the size of an almond — produce eggs (ova) as well as the hormones estrogen and progesterone.
Ovarian cancer often goes undetected until it has spread within the pelvis and abdomen. At this late stage, ovarian cancer is more difficult to treat and is frequently fatal. Early-stage ovarian cancer, in which the disease is confined to the ovary, is more likely to be treated successfully.
Surgery and chemotherapy are generally used to treat ovarian cancer.
Early-stage ovarian cancer rarely causes any symptoms. Advanced-stage ovarian cancer may cause few and nonspecific symptoms that are often mistaken for more common benign conditions, such as constipation or irritable bowel.
Signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer may include:
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you.
If you have a family history of ovarian cancer or breast cancer, talk to your doctor about your risk of ovarian cancer. Your doctor may refer you to a genetic counselor to discuss testing for certain gene mutations that increase your risk of breast and ovarian cancers. Only a small number of women are found to have genetic mutations that can lead to ovarian cancer.
It's not clear what causes ovarian cancer.
In general, cancer begins when a genetic mutation turns normal cells into abnormal cancer cells. Cancer cells quickly multiply, forming a mass (tumor). They can invade nearby tissues and break off from an initial tumor to spread elsewhere in the body (metastasize).
The type of cell where the cancer begins determines the type of ovarian cancer you have. Ovarian cancer types include:
Certain factors may increase your risk of ovarian cancer:
Inherited gene mutation. A small percentage of ovarian cancers are caused by an inherited gene mutation. The genes known to increase the risk of ovarian cancer are called breast cancer gene 1 (BRCA1) and breast cancer gene 2 (BRCA2). These genes were originally identified in families with multiple cases of breast cancer, which is how they got their names, but women with these mutations also have a significantly increased risk of ovarian cancer.
The gene mutations that cause Lynch syndrome, which is associated with colon cancer, also increase a woman's risk of ovarian cancer.
If you have a genetic predisposition to ovarian cancer, your doctor may recommend regular pelvic imaging and blood tests to screen for the disease.
Start by making an appointment with your family doctor, general practitioner or a gynecologist if you have any signs or symptoms that worry you. If your primary care doctor suspects you have ovarian cancer, you may be referred to a specialist in female reproductive cancers (gynecologic oncologist). A gynecologic oncologist is an obstetrician and gynecologist (OB-GYN) who has additional training in the diagnosis and treatment of ovarian and other gynecologic cancers.
In addition to the questions that you've prepared to ask your doctor, don't hesitate to ask other questions that occur to you.
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions. Being ready to answer them may make time to go over points you want to spend more time on. You may be asked:
Your doctor is likely to start with a pelvic examination:
Your doctor also may recommend:
Doctors use the results of your surgery to help determine the extent — or stage — of your cancer. Your cancer's stage helps determine your prognosis and your treatment options.
Treatment of ovarian cancer usually involves a combination of surgery and chemotherapy.
Treatment generally involves removing both ovaries, the fallopian tubes, the uterus as well as nearby lymph nodes and a fold of fatty abdominal tissue (omentum) where ovarian cancer often spreads. Your surgeon also will remove as much cancer as possible from your abdomen.
Less extensive surgery may be possible if your ovarian cancer was diagnosed at a very early stage. For women with stage I ovarian cancer, surgery may involve removing one ovary and its fallopian tube. This procedure may preserve the ability to have children.
After surgery, you'll likely be treated with chemotherapy to kill any remaining cancer cells. Chemotherapy drugs can be injected into a vein or directly into the abdominal cavity or both.
Chemotherapy may be used as the initial treatment in some women with advanced ovarian cancer.
A diagnosis of ovarian cancer can be extremely challenging. Here are some suggestions that may make dealing with cancer easier:
There's no sure way to prevent ovarian cancer. But certain factors are associated with lower risk:

Cat Hack – cat tower & scratching post
Materials: Stolmen
Description: Inspired by earlier hacks (such as this) we decided to hack IKEA for our cat, Billy.
We live in a rather small apartment and wanted him to use the height of the apartment as well, so that his living space is optimize (especially since cats love high viewing points). We bought the Stolmen Post and Mounting Fixtures at IKEA, went to a DIY shop and bought: plywood, paint, glue, doormats and rope. Additionally we uses extra bolts and such, I think the photos say enough.
1. Design a shape and size for the boards/shelves.
2. Saw the plywood accordingly.
3. Drill or saw a hole in the shelves (the pole must fit through it later on).
4. Sand the plywood shelves.
5. Paint them.
6. Design and cut the doormats (or some other material).
7. Glue them onto the shelves. It's softer for the cat plus it prevents them from slipping off the boards.
8. Mount the shelves onto the pole (which you already installed). A bit hard for me to explain, just take a good look at the photos I'd say?
9. Wrap rope around the pole (we used 8 mm on the lowest part (took 10 meters) and both upper parts are 8 mm (took 2x 20 m!).
Billy absolutely loves his tower. he reaches the top in no time (he jumps and climbs as well), loves scratching the rope and when he's not sleeping on our laps on the coach, he's asleep on the top shelf.

What an awesome idea. Thanks for sharing! How cool is IKEA. We just spent a month in Sweden and visited IKEA on our very first day. IKEA meatballs are better in Sweden!!!
What a great idea! Ikea is always great for hacks, and this one is no expectation!
Great project. Just a little help:how did you attach the rope to the pole for the section you put cisal on given you did not put any glu on it?
Great project. Would you have a template for the shelves ?
I had never heard of a 'Korat' before, but I googled it and I do see some resemblances! I'm not sure though, Billy's father is unknown and his mother was a european short hair. We always thought his father was a Russian Blue, but maybe he was a Korat..? We're not sure, but he's definitely the sweetest cat we've ever had!
Love it, thanks for the post! Have been looking into building a spiral staircase-climbing thing for our two kitties so this is great inspiration. By the way, is your Billy a Korat by any chance? He is gorgeous, AND has a great Ikea name
What is the distance between steps?
my friend, this are a nice post.
I love this! I also live in an apartment and couldn't figure out the best way to use the height to my cats advantage. Well this is the way. I may even make two of these and connect them together. Thank you so much for this and I used to have a gray cat that looks like yours. His name was Smoky! Thanks again for the great idea!
Great hack, I did the same two weeks ago.
Just wanted to say that I didn't drill holes in the ceiling, and the stolmen is pretty sturdy.
I tried it with concrete ceiling and with wooden ceiling, with the first one the stolmen is sturdier.
I just extended the screw with the bolt on the floor at its maximum.
Great post, I like the idea of making a cat tower on your own. I have a few similar items for my cats as well only we bought them! I wanted to say I too have a cat that is all black like your Billy! My cats name is Mable and she is the one the loves the cat trees and towers. Thanks again for this post I forsee an upcoming project for me.
Thank you! And Mable is such a cute name for a cat.
How sturdy was the stolmen pole without screws? I live in a rental apartment and can't really put screws on the ceiling so I want to know whether the tree could work without them (with piece of wood between the ceiling and the stolmen screwed to the stolmen pole).
I don't think that would work…sorry! But we have a rental apartment too, and we drilled a few holes in the ceiling anyway. Just make sure you close them up when you move to another place?
Did you have to drill that into the floor and ceiling?
Onto the ceiling, not into the floor.
What a nice cat tree !!!!
It's awesome. I love it. So nice design!
I am wondering what is the dimension of the sisal rope, and how much did you buy?
How did you attach it? Did you glue it to the pool?
No, no glue. We thought of it, but decided against it in case we'd ever want to replace the rope. I don't recall how much sisal we used. It also depends on the distance you want between the steps. I do remember it was a lot! If I'd have to gues I'd say at least 5 meters. Good luck!
Hi Kelly,
How did you attach the rope?
Delightful! I will remember this for future smaller space living. Thanks.
Are you sure you didn't just order the shelves from:
They look just like them.
Indeed they do! But we didn't . We looked at other hacks for scratching posts, here on ikeahackers. But we mostly found the rectangular shaped steps and didn't like them so much, so we decided to make our own shape. I just drew it by hand, and then duplicated the steps. We decided to put the doormats on for extra grip and comfort. But it's weird how much the designs look a like, it might be that I saw it a while ago and my brain remembered it, but I don't recognize the site/images. But then, the shape isn't really that unique I guess? When you think of an easy shape for the cat to jump on, and nice to look at (not rectangular) I quickly came up with this option.
I absolutely love this hack! It's so neatly done and looks very professional. I have a couple of questions:
* how thick is the plywood board?
* how much plywood board did you buy in total?
* how much doormat did you buy in total?
Thanks for a great hack! /Andrea
Our shelves measure (at the widest part) 34 x 43 cm. So how much plywood to buy depends on if you use the same measurements and how many steps you would like (best to calculate yourself). We bought plywood board on sale, in already cut sizes (and sanded), and I don't remember the sizes. But we bought too much, since we decided to use less steps and add the rope for climbing instead (of jumping). The plywood is 1 cm thick though, that I cán tell you .
Great for a small space. What are the dimensions of the steps?
I just measured them, at the widest part they're 34 x 43 cm.
Great idea! Thanks!
Am I the only one thinking that "Billy" is a great IKEA name for a cat using an IKEA Hack?
Or is it just me that obsesses about Billy bookcases…
haha I almost didn't want to name him Billy because of that, because 75% of our interior comes from IKEA. But we liked the name and it suits him so we decided to just go for it. But funny, you were the first one to notice/mention it!
Nice cat tower! Nice cat, too!
Nice design. And this is an apt project for apartments
neat job, I love those proper shelves with the mats on them

SPORT RELIEF: Sussex CCC's Sport Relief Mile28-Mar-2012
Sussex CCC got involved with the Sport Relief Mile in Brighton on Sunday, and even Sid the Shark was on hand to encourage youngsters to take part!
Many children ran, hopped, skipped and bounced the Mile on Sunday and still had the energy to bat, bowl, throw and catch in and around the SCCC 'Cricket Cage' positioned close to Brighton's seafront.
Sid kept popping out of the sea to show the kids just how bad his batting and bowling is. But he is an expert at having his photo taken! Craig Young of Sussex's Academy Plus section put himself in the firing line against some big hitters, some of who were 6 and 7 years old. They swept, pulled and drove him all day and he still came back for more.
Players from Sussex's Academy then joined ECB Head of Womens Cricket and SCCC Board Member Clare Connor for the run after showing off their fantastic talents to the spectating children, who were amazed at the speed and power of cricket so close up, and of course the added bonus to actually play with them.
Most encouraging of all for the Sussex Cricket Board were the dozens of enquiries by parents asking where their children could experience more cricket and how they could find out about joining clubs in and around Brighton & Hove.
Sussex Cricket Board Cricket Development Manager Simon Funnell said, "It was a long hot day in the sun for everyone involved on Sunday but it was fantastic to see so many youngsters have the energy to bat, bowl and field after they had run the Sport Relief Mile.
"They also got chance to rub shoulders with our own youngsters who are aspiring to become professional cricketers and hopefully some of them will be joining clubs in the County on the back of this".

I would really like to thank you, John (and members of your staff whom I have not yet learned the names of) for all you did in helping us make this cake for our friend's wedding. They raved about it and even we were impressed as to how it turned out. We were confident in our ability to make a delicious cake but we had no idea how to make it look pretty. We owe a great deal of that success to all of you!
Let me tell you some of the highlights of our experience with you. From our first visit to your store when John went far out of his way, minutes before close, to help give us confidence we could make our own roses. Even going so far as to open up product and demonstrate what could be done. We were impressed by the extremely helpful YouTube videos, the email advice you gave and even the kind encouragement of your staff during our multiple visits and multiple phone calls! How helpful it was when we built our vision out of dummy cakes in the back of your store to see if we even had a good idea. All of it helped us put out something we were so proud of. We could NOT have done it without your help. It truly was the epitome of customer service.
In my day job I consult with car dealerships on how to be better at doing what you all excelled at and you can bet my experience with your business will come up over and over in my conversations.
In my gratitude I will not only be as frequent a customer as I can but would truly enjoy telling the story to all those who will listen. You've proven to me what kind of people you are and what kind of business you're running. What impresses me the most is you could have taken the approach of up selling your classes and not give me any help outside of them. A business in a similar situation would have taken that approach. However, you have shown you truly value a customer and you have earned my loyalty. I feel incredible value from every dollar I spend at your store.
We wish you much success and thank you for taking care of us so well!

ACCOUNTS: Sussex CCC finances report another solid year14-Feb-2012
Sussex CCC have today posted their financial results, along with the notice of Annual General Meeting, to their membership.
The key numbers from those results are:
Operating Income : up 7% to £5.202m, (2010: £4.863m)
Operating Surplus (after interest, before legacies, depreciation and exceptional items): £0.012m, (2010 : deficit of £0.014m)
Accounting Deficit for the Financial Year: £0.124m (2010: £0.171m)
Speaking today, Dave Brooks, Chief Executive of Sussex CCC said: "The
year to October 2011 has seen steady progress for the Club and also
continued change. With the £8m ground development program coming to a
conclusion, the Club now has an excellent facility available all year
round for both cricket and non-cricket events. The management team look
forward to developing the Club on and off the field to ensure a
sustainable future for cricket in the County at all levels. We are proud
of our achievements over the last 3 seasons and remain determined to be
one of the leading counties in all aspects of our business."
Sussex CCC Treasurer, Simon Crundwell, continued: "In interpreting the Club's financial performance it is important to note that the final deficit is struck after depreciation of £403k, which has increased materially from £233k in 2010, as a result of the ground redevelopment. This reflects a prudent approach by the board to write off the value of our building over periods up to a maximum 50 years as opposed to some clubs who write their building assets over periods in excess of 100 years.
"In addition, we have chosen to show the £300k ECB income offered in recognition of the ground standards delivered by the Club as an exceptional item given this is a non-recurring sum. This offers our members a good understanding of the underlying trading position of the Club and shows the sustainable foundation we have created to build upon."
Summing up, Sussex CCC Chairman, Jim May, added : "We are pleased by the continuing progress on our trading position. This is especially notable as we received very little interest income compared with three years ago due to falling interest rates. Our timing in investing the vast bulk of the Spen Cama legacy in ground improvements has been fortunate. Whilst 2012 may be challenging economically, we look forward to the season with optimism at our lovely redeveloped ground as I believe that under Dave Brooks, Mark Robinson, and Michael Yardy's leadership, we are well placed with a settled team on and off the field which has the capability to deliver continued growth and success for the Club.
"2012 has started positively with continued growth in our sponsorship base. We will continue to invest in cricket at all levels of the game as we recognise the importance of a healthy recreational sport in the county, allied to a strong community presence, in assisting our professional cricketers to compete on all fronts in a busy domestic campaign. With excellent execution and a fair wind, there is good reason to believe we can continue to challenge as leaders in the sport in all aspects of the business and game of cricket."

Marriage can be a real killer. One of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time, New York Times best seller Gillian Flynn, takes that statement to its darkest place in this unpausable masterpiece about a marriage gone terribly, terribly wrong. The Chicago Tribune proclaimed that her work "draws you in and keeps you reading with the force of a pure but nasty addiction." Gone Girl's toxic mix of sharp-edged wit and deliciously chilling prose creates a nerve-fraying thriller that confounds you at every turn.
On a warm summer morning in North Carthage, Missouri, it is Nick and Amy Dunne's fifth wedding anniversary. Presents are being wrapped and reservations are being made when Nick's clever and beautiful wife disappears from their rented McMansion on the Mississippi River. Husband-of-the-Year Nick isn't doing himself any favors with cringe-worthy daydreams about the slope and shape of his wife's head, but passages from Amy's diary reveal the alpha-girl perfectionist could have put anyone dangerously on edge.
Under mounting pressure from the police and the media - as well as Amy's fiercely doting parents - the town golden boy parades an endless series of lies, deceits, and inappropriate behavior. Nick is oddly evasive, and he's definitely bitter - but is he really a killer?
As the cops close in, every couple in town is soon wondering how well they know the one that they love. With his twin sister, Margo, at his side, Nick stands by his innocence. Trouble is, if Nick didn't do it, where is that beautiful wife? And what was in that silvery gift box hidden in the back of her bedroom closet?
With her razor-sharp writing and trademark psychological insight, Gillian Flynn delivers a fast-paced, devilishly dark, and ingeniously plotted thriller that confirms her status as one of the hottest writers around.
©2012 Gillian Flynn (P)2012 Random House Audio
"Flynn masterfully lets this tale of a marriage gone toxically wrong gradually emerge through alternating accounts by Nick and Amy, both unreliable narrators in their own ways. The reader comes to discover their layers of deceit through a process similar to that at work in the imploding relationship. Compulsively readable, creepily unforgettable, this is a must read for any fan of bad girls and good writing." (Publishers Weekly)
"Demented, twisted, sick and I loved it!"
This book is twisted.... this book is sick... this book is demented.... this book is dark.... and for all these reasons I should be disgusted.... but above all of those, it was also indulgent, decadent, intricate, masterful, engaging, enthralling and simply... amazing.
Let's start with the writing itself... The writing was probably the worst part of the book BUT, that being said, the writing was actually done really well! The choice of words, sentence formation, the flow, it all was just seamless in nature, the building suspense, the tone… they were all great! I remember commenting to myself while going through this book that this was written really well. This lends to one of the book's most alluring traits... It allows you to be able to get absolutely and positively lost in it. When a book is easy to pass through like this, it's easy to see the time fly by.
Secondly you have the story... the story was (and I go back to my intro) twisted, sick, dark and demented. From the start of the book you know something is not right but not even I thought it would end up the way it did. The more you go into the story and the more you learn about Nick and Amy, the more you find yourself getting lost in the story. This book felt like such a guilty pleasure, that one night stand that you enjoyed supremely, that ice cream sundae you can't help but have even though you're on a diet, that extra slice of cake that you stole from your older sibling... It fells completely wrong and you know it is completely indulgent but it also feels oh so good. That was what this book represented... If you have even an inkling of a dark side and willing to go through a raw, uninhibited, honest and demented view of an atypical relationship then you would simply LOVE this book. If you are looking for a cookie-cutter/true love conquer all/marriage is wonderful/life is perfect story then run for the hills and don't even look twice on this book.
Thirdly, the narration... It is a toss up to me between the story and the narration as to which was better. I can't decide, every time I choose one of the two I see the merits of the other. I love multi-person narrated titles and when it is done well, I am prone to raving about it. The narrators here though were completely rave worthy. They are able to portray Amy and Nick through the various stages of the book with such precision.... you can feel the angst, anger, apathy, vengeance, brokenness, tension and the myriad of other emotions through their voices. Add the excellent writing to this and you honestly can do nothing but marvel...
I am so impressed by this book. I see why this is seen as one of the best books of 2012. It is so easy to lose yourself in this book it's not even funny.
ONE IMPORTANT THING: DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS BOOK IF YOU HAVE AN AVERSION TO SWEAR WORDS. Do not listen in the company of children. The book is ripe with swear words at all but there are a number of sudden outburst and moments of anger simply filled with rampant curse words.
"Gone Goes in a Different Direction"
In Gone Girl a wife is missing. Having been immersed in so many mystery books and television plots you usually go with the strategy of who is the least likely suspect as a mystery unfolds. I used that strategy in the first part of this book as the author withholds vital information as to what is really going on. That made this a mildly interesting book and it would have remained that way if the book had ended on this plot point.
In the second part my prediction was confirmed but then something funny happened. The book went in a totally unanticipated direction. Now, I was hooked and totally absorbed. I could see possibly how this would end but did not care because this journey was getting so fascinating. Little did I know that there was going to be a couple more surprises in this richly entertaining mystery.
All of you jaded mystery readers and viewers are in for a treat with this book.
"Amazing Amy"
I don't like thrillers, detective mysteries, or beach reads; hesitant to read/listen to this one. Delighted I did. This is a thriller with rich, flawed, complex characters and a surrounding mythology keeping you thinking and trying to figure out references long after you press pause. The author whisked me through the whole gamut of emotions and I swayed between sympathizing and detesting the characters equally at different parts in the book. The story is exciting from beginning to middle (where most books sag) to the end. Had no clue how this one would turn out and was surprised (nice change). Believe the hype and enjoy.
"'I Used to Love Her, But I Had to Kill Her' ???"
*This is a very tight story; I caution you to be selective with the reviews you read--it would be so easy to inadvertently let a spoiler slip.
GONE is a great, demented, jigsaw puzzle--each little piece an important detail in an intricately shaped plot. You think you can see what the picture will be...but, each newly placed piece changes everything in this sharp psychological/suspense/thriller (emphasis on the psycho). You think you are starting to put it all together...
You....know....nothing. You are on a turbulent twisting ride, observing a fractured poisonous marriage that makes War of the Roses look like a day with June and Ward Cleaver.
Amy and Nick's marriage seemed perfect; the gorgeous hunky golden boy meets the stunningly beautiful and wealthy "cool girl" (i.e. a size 2, loves beer and football, dirty jokes, burping, three-ways, believes in letting her man stay out all night with the boys--yeah sure, and there is a Big Foot). But once the money is...Gone, the powerful NY writers jobs are...Gone, the important social connections...Gone, the dream home...Gone, their facades start to...Go; you see that "just as paranoids sometimes have real enemies, each of them had, in each other, found a mate who fulfilled his or her darkest expectations about the possibilities of love."
The first portion of this book is first person narratives, journal entries, by both Nick and Amy, who reveal little by little who they really are, both by what they say, and by what's between the lines--then all hell breaks loose. Some reviewers have mentioned they thought the second portion wasn't as enjoyable. But that's where all the fun begins--where the elaborate series of malicious and important little clues start to unravel who these two really are, and their possible personality disorders. So hone up your detective skills, review the MMPI and DSM IV, and dig in. I can say no more, lest I spoil it for you!
Gillian Flynn is known for her ability to craft wonderfully contaminated and unlikeable characters, dark--very dark smart plots, and combine them with enough familiarity that the reader becomes totally engaged, and almost feels compelled to turn the page. Her previous novels were almost too dark for me, especially Dark Places, but her writing is so distinctive and witty, and her insight so dead-on, that after a breather and a dose of anything light and fun, I'd go back for more. That's what a good writer does for me. This book contains lots of hard language and sexual situations, enough to be a deal-breaker for some readers.The ending seems to be another issue for reviewers, but see how you feel about it...regardless, the journey is top notch, probably Flynn's best work to date.
"It Doesn't Get Any More 'Noir' Than This"
This is an incredible book. WIthout the slightest bit of fantasy or hyperbole, the author shows the reader that the real demons are those inside of us. It's difficult to write about the unparalleled brilliance of this story arc, it's sidebars and underlayers, and the author's out-of-the-box imagining of the characters, without hugely spoiling. It's a bit techno-thriller, a bit relationship commentary, and there is a lot of narrative whiplash where the story takes a sharp turn and you're left with "well, I didn't see that one coming".
The author's writing style couldn't be more sophisticated and loaded with complex imagery and phraseology - I found myself writing down word-bytes that were just off-the-charts clever and overflowing with wit.
While it's possible to pick up an anti-elitist vibe, it's all done with humor and mastery. Then on the other hand, there's an anti "average" vibe, critiquing those whose middle of the road lives seem to the main character as achieving a degree of dullness that is beyond belief. It's a dual message, but it's navigated delicately by the author. Wealthy big city snobbery is mixed with a huge putdown of the predictable choices made by the affluent.
Both narrators picked the perfect tone for this reading.
It's a great listen, and I did not want it to end. And actually - in a way, it doesn't. The two main characters are caught in a trap of their own making.
"That's the way to do it!"
When I was in high school, I caught a late night showing of Mike Nichol's 1966 film adaptation of Edward Albee's "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" I knew nothing about the play or the film, but Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were starring. They'd had a tempestuous, headline-grabbing relationship that I was dimly aware of. It was a warm summer evening and I had nothing better to do, so I settled in to watch.
It wasn't long before I felt chilled and nearly sick. I remember quite clearly thinking, "What the hell am I watching?" as I watched George and Martha's folie de deux.
Several hours into the Audible version of Gillian Flynn's "Gone Girl", I thought, "What the hell am I listening to?" I live in California, and, like that long ago evening with Burton and Taylor, it was a warm day – but I was cold, and my mouth tasted metallic, as if I'd bitten down on a bit of foil in a piece of Wrigley's Spearmint Gum.
I knew something was wrong – terribly wrong – between Nick Dunne and his wife, Amy Elliott Dunne, but I didn't know what.
Flynn doesn't start to reveal what is wrong until halfway through the book. When she does, it's like starting to eat a beautiful Golden Delicious apple, and discovering rot underneath - and then a squirming mass of maggots.
Flynn's writing is compelling, detailed and evocative, and that makes the rotten core of the Dunne's marriage incredibly shocking. Some of the language in the book is jarringly vulgar. The thoughts that language expressed were true to the character that said them, and one of the first indications that character did not think like other people.
This is the first audio book I've listened to where a split male/female narration not only worked, it enhanced the story. Kirby Heybonne was a smug, arrogant Nick Dunne. Julia Whelan was Amy Dunne, beginning with cloying (and unchanging) naïveté of Becca Battoe's Anastasia Steele in E.L. James "Fifty Shades" series. Whelan's narration changed with her character, and so did Heybonne's.
This isn't a book for those lucky, cheerful, hopeful optimists who live by Facebook posts on the power of love. It's not a book for horror fans who safely relegate terror to demons summoned by a 'Book of the Dead', a la "Evil Dead" 2013. This book is for those who know that real people can be terrifying, and can do utterly horrible things. Those people are the people of Simon Baron-Cohen's "The Science of Evil: On Empathy and the Origins of Cruelty," 2011.
The Audible book is about 19 hours long, and it's a compelling way to pass a long drive. Sleep isn't possible when listening.
In case you are wondering, the title of the review is a line from "Gone Girl", quoting a line from a different source.

"Fatal Attraction meets War of the Roses"
No, please, just don't. The ending was terrible...
I really liked how the plot of this book was so intricately woven around (mostly) interesting characters. The first 75% of the book is very good and kept me listening. The narrators were excellent!! Near the end of the book, something quite silly happens and then… it's as if the writer got sick of the story, or didn't know what else to write. I thought the ending was terrible, completely unbelievable. What was the editor thinking?? I really liked the vast majority of this book and kept thinking about how I can't wait to see the movie when it comes out. After I finished the book, I am no longer interested in seeing the movie. The end was such a let-down given the strength and weight of the rest of the book. I felt cheated as a listener.
"Glad Gillian Flynn Has Broken Out!"
I've listened to all of Gillian Flynn's book and this was enjoyable and exciting. "Dark Places" is still my favorite of her books though and I'd rate that a full five stars.
Gone Girl was unique in the way the characters were revealed little by little in alternating chapters. On the surface we were introduced to a married couple who seem to be sharing the intimacies of their marries. As the book progresses it's apparent that something is wrong because the stories diverge in a way that makes it clear someone is not telling the truth. During the course of the book I could not tell who to believe, which built the drama and excitement as I tried to figure out the puzzle.
I enjoyed having separate voices, which allowed for very distinct characters to emerge.
I could not wait to get back to this as the story raced to an impending drama. Flynn kept me constantly surprised as she dosed out the real story a little at a time. One of the most exciting listens I've had for awhile.
Any Gillian Flynn is worth a listen because of her innovative plots and interesting characters. Definitely one of my favorite writers and I'm glad she's finally broken out of the pack with a bestseller!
"Delightfully Twisted"
There's not much I can say about this book without spoiling some of the fun. It begins abruptly. Housewife Amy disappears on her five year wedding anniversary. The story is told alternately from the point of view of her husband, Nick, beginning the day of her disappearance and then passages from Amy's diary which starts at the beginning of their relationship. Readers are torn by the dubious Nick--can we trust anything he says? And we are treated to a conversation depiction of a strained marriage.
There was a lot of hype behind this book, so I did purchase the day it came out. I wasn't disappointed. I spent every waking hour listening to this one--so beware. I truly enjoyed this one.
Kirby who reads Nick is decent, but Julia who reads Amy is awesome. She is perfect.
"Sick and Sicker"
I was intrigued by the reviews of this book and with all the hype I found myself wondering throughout the first half what the fuss was about. It seemed a little boring. The second half made up for the slow beginning, in fact I almost wanted to go back and listen to the first part again to see what I may have missed. My advice is to pay attention to the beginning and it will evolve. It was the perfect twisted story of two twisted people that truly deserved each other. It certainly keep me listening to see what bizarre thing would happen next. The narrators were excellent. Definately a case of sick and sicker!!!
