International Leaders Gather for Second 'Women of the Mountains' Conference
February 23, 2011
For Immediate Release
University Marketing & Communications: Mike Rigert (801) 863-6807
Written by: Rusty Butler (801) 863-8994
Numerous international ambassadors, United Nations executives and foreign government dignitaries will join scholars from Utah Valley University along with other universities and local high school students to discuss women's issues at UVU on March 8-9.
The second Women of the Mountains Conference will kick off on International Women's Day on March 8 at 8 a.m. in the UVU Library auditorium, Room 120.
Two days of sessions and panels will discuss the health and education of women and children in developing nations, human trafficking, women's economic and leadership issues, and other topics. An earlier conference in 2007 drew 110 senior women leaders from 22 nations. The conference's leadoff keynote speaker will be Palwasha Kakar, the Afghan deputy minister of women's affairs.
"Our students and the community will have the opportunity to interact with global leaders regarding gender issues in developing nations," said UVU Associate Vice President of the Office of International Affairs & Diplomacy Rusty Butler, one of the organizers of the conference. "We will host scholars from nearly 20 nations and many states who will discuss very pressing issues facing women and children, primarily in mountain nations."
Local high school students that participated in a competition about these issues will read their papers at the Orem Public Library the evening before, on March 7, Butler said.
"Another important goal of the conference is to expand membership in the U.N. Mountain Partnership," said conference co-organizer Ambassador Baktybek Abdrisaev, a lecturer at UVU. "A UVU student advocacy campaign stimulated the City of Orem and Salt Lake City to join this international alliance of institutions interested in global mountain development."
Conference organizers are the UVU Office of International Affairs & Diplomacy, the Department of History & Political Science, the Office of Engaged Learning, and the Kyrgyz National Center for Development of Mountain Regions under the auspice of the U.N.-related Mountain Partnership. Sponsors and contributors include the UVU College of Humanities & Social Sciences and College of Sciences & Health, the Aspen International Mountain Forum, Vista 360, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation, and others.
The conference is free and open to the public. The agenda and locations may be obtained at the conference website: www.WomenoftheMountains.org.

26 Bellevue Crescent Ayr Ayrshire KA7 2DR
Well folks, I went back to 26 The Crescent ,Ayr ,and this time we stayed for 2 nights. Now for a 5* , and the only 5* accommodation in Ayr, I thought it would be hard to make it better, but, when we arrived on the Friday 28th March 2014, Michael said we had been upgraded !, I thought How can this get better than last year ?. We were shown to a room that was spacious, tastefully decorated & furnished & with none other than a 4 poster bed with all the trimmings & a bathroom that was easily the size of some of the pokey rooms you get in big corporate hotels. You can't get better than this for the money and the 2 best hosts in the West of Scotland & the best breakfast you'll ever have in Scotland with a warm welcome to boot. Folks your throwing your money away ,if you want luxury & a great Scottish welcome when you visit Ayr ,this is the place to go …..Its a NO BRAINER !
My fiancee and I stayed at 26 The Crescent in early April for our final two nights in Scotland. Joyce and Michael helped us feel right at home, made sure we had a parking spot directly in front of the B&B, and cooked a delicious breakfast! They even went out of their way to accommodate an early breakfast so my fiancee could make his tee time. The room was comfortable, clean and supplied with nice-smelling soap and lotion, plenty of television channels, cookies and bottled water. If our travels bring us back to Ayr, we will return!
My wife and I stayed here for two nights and were very impressed.
As we turned into the crescent shaped avenue which is tree-lined on both sides with trees which were just dropping their blossom of pinks and creams causing the tarmac to be carpeted in confetti like flowers we turned to each other and smiled. This is the nicest area in Ayr.
We were met with a warm welcome from both Michael and Joyce who showed us into their beautiful lounge area and made us feel at home.
Our lovely room was spotlessly clean with a large modern bathroom and a nice view of the surrounding cottage gardens.
Breakfast was the best, where we were spoiled for choice, with real quality cooking and top-class
friendly service and on walking up to the shops after our fill, the few people we passed on the crescent all greeted us with a "good morning".
This is a well deserved 5 star Guest House which is run by two genuinely warm people who really care about their guests, have an eye for detail and….. make it look easy!
Big thanks to Michael & Joyce
Gordon 455
This is a 5 star bed and breakfast and deserves all the stars.
A much smaller version of Downton Abbey but just as nice.
The entire place is always very clean and impeccably maintained.
The bed is as comfortable as you would want and the room well equipped.
All the little things you need are there.
Plenty of tea, coffee etc.
The actual bar of soap in the bath (shower in our case) and the bottles of lotion and shampoo. Many places nowadays just use a dispenser of liquid soap for everything. Efficient and cost saving but The Crescent does it the hard way and that is what makes them special.
They do everything with their guests in mind.
Breakfast is the other part of the equation.
Made to order, very tasty with a highly polished silver service.
Makes you feel special.
Plenty of cereals, juices and yogurts on hand also.
Can't be faulted.
There is a sign in their dining room that says something about arriving as guests and leaving as friends.
That is exactly what you feel like when you when you leave.
That is what makes owners Mike and Joyce so special.
- Stayed May 2014, travelled as a couple
This lovely guest house is great. We had beautiful rooms which were light airy and very comfortable. The hosts were lovely really welcoming. The place was really clean. Breakfast is wonderful with fabulously locally produced food. The location is convenient to Ayr 's great attractions.

This is the draft of what I'm going to be editing and handing in tomorrow for my Intro to Drama class. Again, this is my intellectual property, and you have no right to claim it as your own, especially if you're attempting to steal this and hand it in for a grade. I am posting this so that I may add my own voice to the discussion about this play. Also, it is a draft at this stage, and has all of the faults and rough edges associated with drafts.
I'm a freshman, living at Ithaca College, and I had to make a blog for one of my classes, and I'm now slightly addicted to it, so I've decided to put the majority of my school-related works up here, and to do some keeping-up-with-me type things. Mainly it's a way for my family to know that they aren't paying all this money for nothing, and it's good practice for me, just writing these things, and (sometimes) I'm trying to be entertaining. Please respect that this is my intellectual property

Tragedy and Comedy in Anton Chekhov's "Uncle Vanya"
There are two different plays inside Uncle Vanya—one that is utterly frustrating and tragic, and one that is sarcastic and bitterly funny. The difference between tragedy and comedy comes from how the audience members react to the impotence of the characters.
For example, Yelena is married to a sickly, repulsive and obnoxious old man, and will not find a lover that is more suitable for her. She is described as being incredibly beautiful and also young—that is, she has her whole life ahead of her. Of her marriage, Yelena confesses to Sonya, "I married him for love. I was drawn to him. A famous man. A man of learning. I was captivated by it. And it was not real. The love was not real." She knows that she is trapped in an unhappy marriage to a man she does not love. Both Vanya and Astrov recognize the jarring difference between husband and wife, and cannot fathom why Yelena won't have an affair with someone closer to her own age, or someone that she actually likes. Vanya makes abundantly clear his strong affections for her, and she rejects his every advance. Yelena thinks that she is 'noble' for staying with the Professor, which indeed is admirable. Yelena also confesses to Sonya that she loves Astrov, and, after Vanya begs her to take action in her life, she decides that she will make advances on Astrov. She seems to have fallen from her nobility in that she wants to be disloyal to her husband. But when Astrov responds enthusiastically and rather inelegantly to her advances, she hurriedly rejects him. It's like she thinks she wants to take a swim, and then as soon as she puts a toe in the water, she hates swimming.
Yelena can be seen as a tragic figure because she is wasting herself by being with the Professor. She's a young and beautiful woman, whose life ended on her wedding day. She has the means to escape from her situation, but because of either cowardice or nobility—or both—she stays in the trap she's made for herself. Vanya calls it 'a tomb'. She has been foolish, and will pay for that mistake for the rest of her life. Or, one can interpret Yelena as a very strong woman who is devoted to the commitment that is marriage, even though she does not love her husband. She values the wedding vows she's taken and, no matter what, will not turn from them. She is sacrificing her personal happiness in order to remain true to the oaths that she has taken.
You may pity Yelena's situation and admire her strength for staying with an old man she doesn't love. You may see her as brave and her moment with Astrov as a moment of weakness that she overcomes. Or you may view her as a fool who ought to do what will make her happy, and is simply too much of a coward to do otherwise. You can look at her rejection of Astrov as a moment of cowardice and as something contemptible. You may see her as stricken with impotence in regards to her own life. She is unable to do anything, and that is why she can be both a tragic and comic figure.
Another element of the play that can be either tragic or comic is the monologue that Sonya has at the close of the play. All the family is settling back into their old routines after the departure of the Professor and Yelena. The ripples that the couple has caused are subsiding, and they are all going back to their work. The central theme of her monologue is that, because of all that they have suffered in life, when they die and go to Heaven, they will be rewarded there. This, depending on your view of the afterlife can be beautiful and comforting, or utterly absurd.
The idea that people can't do anything to improve their lot in life, and will simply have to wait until they die to find happiness was popular before the Renaissance and the rise of humanism. It's very medieval, and so it seems a bit strange that anyone at the close of the 1800s would believe so strongly in it. It seems a bit backwards. This would be the view and support for one who finds this comedic. It's a dark humor though, and you'd laugh because Sonya is such a fool for believing this. If you would chose to see the closing monologue as a beautiful thing, you would notice that it is said by the only person who cannot really do anything about her life. Sonya is kind-hearted and would make a wonderful wife for someone—but she is ugly. Her physical appearance cannot be changed and thus, the girl is doomed. But by delivering such an uplifting and hopeful speech, especially because it's the last thing that is said, it places heavy emphasis on her 'inner beauty'. She is tragic because she won't be loved as she ought to be, and she sounds something like a martyr at the end.
Sonya and her family seem to define themselves by the work that they do, because it's the only thing they do. Vanya says "back to work" and it feels like everything is going back to the way it should be. Also, the characters are miserable when they aren't at work—when the Professor and his wife disturb things with their visit. Defining oneself by the boring, rather meaningless work that you do is a tragedy. The drudgery they define themselves by is a waste of human vitality and spirit. But at the same time their conviction to it is admirable—and thus a bit tragic—it's all they've ever known, and that's sad.
The overall effect of this blending and blurring between tragic and comic is that it forces the audience to think about the play as they're experiencing it. As some audience members around them begin to laugh, they have to think about their feelings for the characters. It makes the audience think more about how they feel about what they're seeing. They have to analyze what their reactions to the characters are and figure out which emotion—pity or contempt—dominates their view of the characters. Is Yelena noble, or just weak? What keeps Vanya from finishing off the Professor? Is it cowardice? Or is it the realization that he can't change the past, and cannot take back all those years that he slaved for the ungrateful old man—that killing him now won't do any good? Is Sonya a fool for accepting her lot in life, or brave for it? Questions like this, which Chekhov leaves unanswered, are what the audience has to figure out for themselves in order to know how they should react to the play. They're going to wind up with a confused tangle of feelings that they have to sort out before they know whether to roll their eyes or to fight back tears.
Chekhov, however, intended the play to be a comedy, and so he worked to create situations that would jar the connections and sympathy that the audience wants to have with the characters. He does this through a basic understanding of how humans feel about each other. If one sees a character he likes in an unhappy situation, he will root for the character to get out of it and to become happy—it's our social instinct. He is almost expecting to see Yelena have an affair with Vanya or Astrov, and when Yelena backs away, he has been disappointed by her. Through her own doing, Yelena has robbed the audience member of the happiness he would get by watching her be romantically involved with a man she loves. This makes him less likely to feel sympathetic with her in the future. The connection between Yelena and the audience member has changed. Obviously, she is not the woman he thought she was—it's mistrust. Now the audience member has to rework his understanding of her.
The best example of this connection-change is when Vanya shoots at the Professor. The moment feels like it's going to be a great triumph—the energy in the play is at its peak—and Vanya gives up. It's an enormous anti-climax. It's a disappointment, and it's Vanya's fault. This failure to take action, to once and for all get rid of the Professor, is where Vanya's deepest colors show through—he is no more than an empty pistol—outwardly threatening, but ineffective and harmless.
So, the point of making it hard to differentiate between what is sad and what is funny is to force the audience to think, and also to lend a dark humor to Uncle Vanya.

dispatches from Analytica 2014
DNA extraction without contamination risk
The InnuPure C16 extraction system is used for automated isolation and purification of nucleic acids on a small to medium scale and allows isolation of up to 16 samples in parallel.
The machine can extract DNA from processed food samples, from flour to chocolate, to isolate it for further analysis with techniques such as Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR).
Variety of food samples
Christian Weber, from Analytik Jena, said it has tested more than 200 food samples such as cheese, wheat, sweets and spices and so on.
"Included in the manual we have a list of the food samples and we specified the lysis conditions for each of these categories," he told FoodQualityNews.com at Analytica trade show in Munich.
"We do an external lysis with specific buffer conditions for the processed food and afterwards we go on the device and then it's fully automated nucleic acid preparation with binding to magnetic particles and washing with low salt buffers.
"The resulting DNA is very pure and can be used for further apipnalysis in PCR or sequencing and so on."
When the starting materials have been put in the isolation process, the necessary reagents are pipetted to the sample and automatically removed by pipette tip.
After the nucleic acids have bound to the magnetic particles, they collect at the bottom of the wells and are resolubilized by pipetting them in and out.
The DNA is then eluted into separate tubes which are capped for direct storage or other applications.
The firm said the extraction principle prevents the cross contamination linked to vacuum-based purification methods.
Growing concern
A lot of people are concerned about the quality of food they are eating, he said.
"Is this really the right meat they are eating due to religious behaviour or health risk, people are concerned about genetically modified food or allergens so it is more and more important to be sure that what it is written in a specific food [package] it is really in there.
"With this device we can process most processed foods on the market with the same kit so you don't have to alter the conditions or the working procedure in the lab."
The magnetic bead based system is supplied in pre-filled strips and plates, and sealed with piercable foils.
The more samples are processed the more important automation is, he said.
"Because without automation you are depending on the skills of the lab personnel and here the machine is all the time doing the same reactions at the same quality and you can be sure that the same quality is everyday produced so you are not dependent on the human factor."
Weber said the machine enables pure DNA extraction without the risk of contamination.
"This is due to the fact that we use sealed reagents and high quality DNA and the process is fully automated."
Extraction kits adapted to the InnuPure C16 allow users to process forensic samples and isolate DNA and or bacterial nucleic acids.
These kits help to isolate nucleic acids with no contamination and they are ready for use, having been prepared for different starting materials and quantities.

De Soto district targeting bullies
January 6, 2010
Counselors in the De Soto School District now are better prepared to deal with the issue of bullying.
The district's counselors spent three days in November brainstorming and going over strategies to prevent and deal with the issue at each level in the school district.
The BullySafeUSA program was lead by SuEllen Fried, a child advocate and co-author of the books "Bullies & Victims: Helping Your Child Through the Schoolyard Battlefield" and "Bullies, Targets & Witnesses: Helping Children Break the Pain Chain."
Kim Gasiorowski, counselor at Horizon Elementary, said the training offered a variety of different strategies.
"It was nice to work with the other counselors and bounce ideas off each other," Gasiorowski said. "They also gave us materials to take back to the school to use in guidance lessons."
The first day of the training, counselors each took a class at Mize or Starside elementary schools and conducted a bully empowerment lesson, she said.
"The empowerment lesson was 30 minutes of working with the children and identifying different types of bullying and identifying strategies that would work for the students," Gasiorowski said. "It gave the kids time to share their experiences."
The counselor leading the lesson also shared a time in their life when they were the victim of bullying.
Cindy Fouraker, director of grants and programs, said the training also provided counselors with the tools to train the teachers and other staff members.
"The counselors can use this training to work with the students and give them skills to prevent it in the future," she said.
Gasiorowski said there was a lot of discussion on how to use the strategies to teach others employed by the school district.
"We made action plans on where we can go from here and our goals on continuing training," she said. "Everyone employed by the district will go through bully training to recognize and deal with bullying."
The district will look at ways to educate bus drivers on bullying.
"When the bus drivers meet next year we'll put together a bully program as part of their training," Gasiorowski said. "I know every staff member at the elementary level is trained by the building's counselor but there are other workers like bus drivers, custodians and kitchen workers that see and work with kids, as well."
Fouraker said continuing training and awareness was a priority for preventing bullying in schools.
"The counselors will be meeting and working together to develop lessons, and we will be ordering resources the counselors can use to train staff," she said.
Gasiorowski said other guidance lessons on making friends and how to join groups also served as a preventative tool when dealing with bullying.
"Some bullying can be prevented by dealing with friendship issues," she said. "We come at different angles when preventing the issue."
At Horizon, students and parents sign a bully contract at the beginning of each year.
Gasiorowski also provides students with the opportunity to anonymously report bullying. Those reports are then tracked and reported to principal Kim Gracy.
"We keep all the forms to track what kind of bullying it is and where it is occurring," she said. "We keep track so that we can step up supervision in certain places like hallways or the lunchroom and become more aware of what to look for."
Gasiorowski said bullying is different at every level in the district.
"It happens at every school," she said. "I wouldn't say it's been a huge problem, but it's there."
Bully training and prevention will continue in the district, Fouraker said.
"The more tools adults have to teach students, the more effective and proactive we can be in bully prevention," she said.

I haven't ruled out us leaving EU, says Prime Minister David Cameron
BRITAIN could leave the EU, David Cameron acknowledged for the first time yesterday.
The Prime Minister made clear he does not want Britain out but conceded: "All futures for Britain are imaginable."
Mr Cameron also revealed he will give his long-awaited major speech on Britain's long-term relationship with Brussels – originally planned for this autumn – in about a month's time.
It is expected to set out plans to achieve a "fresh settlement" with the prospect of a referendum.
I believe the choice we should make is to stay in the EU
Mr Cameron said he did not favour an "immediate" in-out vote but did not rule it out altogether, raising some MPs' hopes of an option to leave the EU which Downing Street played down.
Mr Cameron is under increasing pressure from within his party to pledge an in-out vote, as well as from the Daily Express's Get Britain Out Of The EU crusade. He earlier suggested a choice of new or current membership terms, rejected by critics as an "in-in" vote.
Yesterday, as he reported to the Commons on last week's EU summit in Brussels, Mr Cameron was asked if he could imagine Britain leaving the EU.
He replied: "It's not the position I support so I don't spend my time thinking about it. But clearly, all futures for Britain are imaginable. We are in charge of our own destiny. We can make our own choices.
"I believe the choice we should make is to stay in the EU, to be members of the single market, to maximise our impact in Europe. But where we are unhappy with parts of the relationship we shouldn't be frightened of standing up and saying so."
His comments won a scathing response from Ukip leader Nigel Farage, who declared: "His vapid meanderings suggested he knows that he is beaten by the Brussels machine. When he says that if we are unhappy we can complain, [that] shows his impotence. So what?
"We have been complaining for years and years.
"Every time he dithers, every time he marches up the hill, he loses more of his army; and fewer people believe him.
"We know members of his Cabinet don't believe him, we know that a majority of his party don't believe him and we know that the country has given up listening to him on Europe".
Earlier, Labour leader Ed Miliband said businesses feared "sleepwalking towards exit" and asked if the PM agreed with Foreign Secretary William Hague that an in-out referendum was "the wrong question at the wrong time".
Mr Cameron replied: "I don't think it is right to have an immediate in-out referendum because I don't think either of the two options are right." Some Tory MPs seized on his use of the word "immediate" as a hint of what he could or should say next month.
Today, Ukip scores its highest-ever support rating, 9 per cent, up from 6 per cent last month, in a ComRes poll. The Tories slip back four points to 31 per cent.

They call her Madame. Even her son, Kei, refers to Hanae Mori that way--although she's sitting right across from him. Madame Hanae Mori; the title goes with the territory.
Now in her mid-60s, she is more than just the honored ancestor of Japanese fashion designers, more than the first Asian designer to open a salon on Avenue Montaigne--the famed couture row of Paris. Her name goes on the letterhead of a half-billion-dollar empire.
And fashion is only part of it.
There are newspapers and magazines (including Japanese versions of Women's Wear Daily and Interview), a cable television network, restaurants, educational and cultural-exchange programs as well as the half-dozen or so fashion divisions. All of which have made Hanae Mori very rich. Quite possibly the richest designer in the world.
It's a career built from stage costumes. She began in the 1950s, making clothes for Japanese films. Since then she has branched out to design for the opera and ballet. Right now she's supplying some of the clothes Jacqueline Bisset will wear in an upcoming film set in Beverly Hills.

Ford says she can't afford election fee
By LEONORA LaPETER nd BRYAN GILMER
© St. Petersburg Times, published February 16, 2001
ST. PETERSBURG -- Kathleen Ford and her husband own a home in one of the city's most desirable neighborhoods, have a child in private school and own stocks valued at more than $20,000. As a candidate for mayor, Ford has raised more than $19,000 and blanketed parts of the city with signs.
But Ford swore in an affidavit filed at City Hall that she couldn't afford the $1,000 state election assessment fee that candidates for mayor are supposed to pay.
Ford and her husband, Harvey Ford, are both attorneys, but the City Council member said that her family's good fortune shouldn't be part of her campaign equation.
"I'm the one running, and our family has taken a decrease in income as a result of my serving on the council the last four years, which we knew going in," Ford said on the sidewalk in front of City Hall during a break in Thursday's council meeting. "But it's still an undue burden."
Ford, who earns $23,337 a year as a council member and does not have an active law practice, has raised $19,230 in her campaign for mayor. She had raised at least $13,340 in her campaign treasury by the time she filed her affidavit of undue burden Jan. 10.
"As you can see from our campaign, the assessment fee would be an undue burden because it's a pretty big fee," she said.
Terri Griner, Ford's campaign manager, pointed out that the form does not require any sort of income verification.
Ford based her claim of undue burden on her campaign account, not her personal assets. Griner said the campaign has a budget and there isn't a lot of wiggle room.
"If you look at what we budgeted in the campaign, there isn't any extra," Griner said. "There isn't a lot of money. We're not running a $100,000 campaign."
But candidates for office must swear that they cannot pay the fee "without imposing an undue burden on personal resources," according to Florida law and the affidavit that Ford filled out.
Ford declined to answer additional questions about her personal net worth, saying, through her campaign manager, that she had provided all the information she had at the time.
Ford owns a 1992 Cadillac and lives in an Old Northeast home purchased in 1987 for $185,000, according to county records. She owns shares of Allstate Corp., Bristol Myers, Caterpillar Inc., International Paper Co. and United Holding Inc.
Her daughter attends The Canterbury School of Florida, where tuition next year will be $7,900. Her son recently moved from Canterbury to St. Petersburg High School.
Ford was one of four mayoral candidates who declined to pay the fee, which goes to the state for deposit in the Elections Commission Trust Fund. Patrick Bailey, a collection agency owner; Louis Miceli, a factory worker; and Maria Scruggs-Weston, a hospital worker, also filed affidavits of undue burden with City Hall.
Another sitting council member running for office who filed the same affidavit is Earnest Williams, owner of an insurance agency. Williams, who was recently appointed to a temporary term on the council but is running for the District 6 seat, said he never considered paying the $233.37 fee to run for his seat from personal funds.
"I'm using the money (in my treasury) for campaign purposes and if there are additional dollars, they should be going to charity," Williams said.
City Council Chairman Larry Williams, a mayoral candidate, expressed surprise that Ford would swear she couldn't pay the fee. Candidate Karl Nurse, owner of a printing company, questioned Ford's rationale.
"Even with the downtown boys backing up a truckload of money for (mayoral candidate Rick) Baker, I couldn't deny that I could afford to pay it and I don't know how she can, either," he said.
Baker, an attorney, said his reading of the law made it clear that he should pay the fee.
"I never considered (seeking an exemption)," Baker said. "I don't know what the line would be, but I know that I'm above it. We paid it out of our (campaign) account."
As for Ford, Baker said, "I don't really have a comment on what she does. She obviously made her decision on that, and I don't know what her rationale was."
Candidate Omali Yeshitela also paid the fee.
Ronnie Beck, owner of a company that makes steel-shop drawings, said he paid the fee out of his campaign account, even though he thinks the state law requiring the fee is a bad idea.
"It says, "who is unable to pay the election assessment, imposing an undue burden on his or her personal resources,' " Beck noted. "Not campaign resources. I would say that that means if you paid it it would affect your ability to pay your mortgage or your groceries. Since I could come up with the money, I did."
Beck added: "I really wanted to file (an affidavit for an exemption) myself, because I could use the extra $1,000 in my campaign account. But how can you have a net worth in the hundreds of thousands and say, "I can't pay that?' "

Wolf Creek is a chilling account, based loosely on real life events, about a group of friends who intend to take a road around the wilderness that is central Australia.Like many horror films these days, Wolf Creek comes from the "cheap horror" factory and for me at least it didn't really succeed in creating any real scenes that had me quaking in my seat. I am obliged to watch a fair few horror films but I wouldn't put myself through this again. And if there was a sequel, I definitely wouldn't be rushing to the cinema to see it. Cheaply made and it shows.
This game was released in 2005, and when my younger brother bought it back home I had the attitude of "that's not a racing game. Or a fighting game. And its definitely not FIFA! There's no way I'm playing it!".
Anyway as time progressed I was dragged into playing with him, maybe even helping him complete it - probably more likely! And when I got into it, I found I enjoyed it, now this was strange!
The game itself is based around the film with the same name. Normally, games like this offer significant extra content to that that I could have garnered from the film, but I didn't really feel this was the case. The content is very obvious. Sounds a weird way to describe it, but following through the game it felt like I knew was coming. (As a result of seeing the film, obviously if you haven't seen the film then you probably won't have this issue!)
I should explain this is how I felt at my age then, probably 12 or 13 years old. I found it quite mundane, but it would definitely appeal to the younger user - i.e. my brother!
The graphics are good, nothing wrong at all with them, and there doesn't really need to be any new high level technology in these sorts of games so it worked fine. The controls again I found easily enough to get used to. This may have been more of a challenge to younger users, and I suppose this could be construed two ways - may make it more of an exciting challenge, or may make it too hard. I would tend to lead towards the former.
Overall this game is ideal if you want a cheap (couple of quid) second hand game (its now out of production) to amuse your 9-11 year old children. I enjoyed it when playing it with my younger brother, but I didn't go and get it myself, and the game backs up that I was correct not to do so for my liking. A good game, at times pedestrian, but fun for the younger user.
I actually won this racket bag in a competition at my club, but sometimes I wish I had bought it earlier!
It was my first racket bag. I had been playing tennis for 5 or 6 years but only in the previous two had I begun to take it more serious. (I define serious as playing two or more times a week). With this bag I was able to look the part without looking too serious. Let me explain what I mean by that.
I was probably 15 when I got this bag, and previously had been carrying onto court a racket (maybe 2), some drinks, a can of balls, sometimes a skipping rope for drills, a coat or jacket and probably more. Yet I didn't have a bag? When I got this bag it made life so much easier for me, and also made me look the part. I definitely preferred turning up to coaching lessons or matches carrying a genuine racket bag!
On the other hand, one thing that both my friends and I absolutely HATED, was when we would see people turn up with 12 racket bags. Makes these people look so unbelievably arrogant. Don't get me wrong, I've lost to people with 12 racket bags 6-0 6-0. But most of them I sent back home with a loss, but hey at least they had the nice bag!
So overall if you want to look the part, like you're not playing tennis for the first time, then this bag is definitely the one for you (or maybe the 6 racket also). But PLEASE don't go out and get a 12 racket bag if you don't deserve it. If you're top ten in the county - Fine. If you earn money from tennis - Fine. Otherwise it's a big no no.
Finally, I'll give you an idea of how I used the bag.
In recollection, (I had the bag 5-6 years ago now), the bag has two main compartments, one slightly bigger than the other.
The bigger compartment I would put my rackets - at this point I only had two.
The smaller compartment I would store drinks as well as a couple of tubes of balls. There would be a couple of small pockets in this smaller compartment where I would put things like money and often my LTA membership card for safe keeping.
Then there is outside pocket which I found to be a fairly reasonable size too. I would tend to keep small things in hear, like a spare pair of shoelaces, a skipping rope and miscellaneous items like that. It also gave me a place to put my phone safely while I was on court.
From when I started playing tennis fairly teenage years, it became apparent very quickly how important my choice of tennis balls would be. Never before had I appreciated the huge difference between the tennis balls you through for your dogs to play with, or those you kick around in a playground at school and those you play serious tennis with. I now realize.
I used to get stick from my friends when discussing this issue, but the difference is important. When you play tennis, you want a ball that bounces evenly, acts the same shot after shot and doesn't surprise you. But perhaps most importantly, when you open that seal on top of the tin, you want to know with relative confidence that all those 3/4/5 balls are going to be pretty much identical. With these balls you get that.
The Slazenger Wimbledon balls are not actually brand new. They have been used at Wimbledon by the pros. As you may or may not know, tennis balls are actually only used for around 7 games of a match in the professional ranks. When they change at Wimbledon, they go on to resell them as the rest of us can find more than adequate use for them. Any dead balls will more than likely be noticed by the pros in two or three hits, let alone when they are tested before being "re-tinned".
Because these balls were originally made especially for Wimbledon, the quality is unquestionable. However because they have actually already been opened and used (by used they could have been battered by the likes of Nadal and Federer!) they should not be used in serious match scenarios, but in fact offer the perfect training ball! Play with the same balls as the pros, it can only get better if you're playing with the pros!
Had this TV in my room at University for the last year and it has more than justified its price. For a relatively small fee it has fulfilled all the duties I have asked of it and would have expected from it.
It has a nice looking, sleek screen and fits perfectly on my desk. It is has, I found, pretty good value in that the image quality is perhaps better than I had expected. My room is not that spacious, and to be able to find a TV such as this one for such a reasonable price that I could fit into where I wanted it. There are plenty of options in terms of visual and audio preferences that meant I was soon able to adapt the TV to act how I pleased - a major plus point for me!
The only flaw with this TV that I found would probably be the existence of only one HDMI slot. Although I didn't really need to utilize another slot, at times I found myself wanting to use another and I couldn't. I have since been advised that I could have easily gone out and found a HDMI switch box which are apparently not too pricey so this may have been a feasible option.
One of my favorite books I've ever read. It was probably one of the first books that I chose to not only read, but also to go on and read the rest of the sequels in the series. One of the first books I read that wasn't either given to me as part of a school project or reading task, and I'm very thankful I found it!
The plot is based around Alex Rider. Alex loses his uncle, Ian, at the beginning of Stormbreaker (Stormbreaker is the first book of the series, which I seem to have neglected to mention as far) and the book centers around how his life changes through this sudden change of events. Alex lost his Mother and Father at an early age and his only 'family' is his housekeeper, Jack Starbright.
Ultimately, Alex discovers that his Uncle was an agent for MI6. When MI6 notice an effective niche in their trade and Alex's unfortunately weak bargaining situation, they blackmail him into working for them. As a teenager they feel, should he become and asset for them, he is very unlikely to be noticed and can complete missions much easier than, for example, his uncle. One of the important pieces of leverage they hold over Alex is Jack, and the fact that, in a heartbeat, they could send her back home to the USA.
Through his duties for MI6, Alex comes into contact with a wealthy but apparently dangerous businessman Herod Sayle, who is the primary antagonist in the book. Along with Herod, there are cameo appearances from Yassen Gregorovich, a hit man and assassin who you should keep a close eye on! Definitely one to watch! Anyway, Alex is put into increasingly dangerous situations by MI6 until the showdown with Sayle arrives and the background behind him and Stormbreaker come to the fore. Can Alex figure it out? Can he save himself? Can he complete the task MI6 have set him? You'll have to read the book to find out!
When I first read this book, I would have described it as action-packed. However adult readers used to writers such as Andy McNab, Chris Ryan and James Patterson (some of my personal favorites) will almost definitely find it quite pedestrian. Its target audience is definitely the 12-16 year old readers who are in the intervening period between school books and "grown up" books. It would probably appeal more to the boys in that category but offers more than its fair share for the female reader!
I particularly enjoyed it when I read it (at about 12 years old), because it paints Alex, also a teenager, as a bit of hero and I felt I could (and wanted!) to identify with him! I wanted to be like Alex. Maybe the adult readers will be a tad less naive in this position. Although, if you're looking for a light read, maybe finish in two days? This could be the book for you. Otherwise, its absolutely perfect present for teenagers about to take their first exploration into the weird and wonderful world of "real" books!
P.S. Definitely don't watch the film, especially not before reading the book. One of the worst films I have ever sat through, to go with one of my favorite books! It more than blotted the copybook for me, and I guess they realized. They haven't released any of the sequels to Stormbreaker in a hurry!
Entourage is the story of young upcoming movie star Vincent Chase and his four closest friends. The show is loosely based around the career of Mark Wahlberg and his relation with his friends, his brother Donnie Wahlberg and his agent Eric Weinstein. (This is said to be where the name "Eric" came from for Vince's best friend/manager. There is also a reoccurring character named Josh Weinstein who appears as first an understudy and then a rival agent to Vince's agent Ari).
The series focuses on Vince's efforts to take steps from his humble childhood in Queens, New York to making it big in Hollywood. He is a serial womanizer and has relations with almost every girl he meets, from his (albeit temporary) agent to an actress he once proposed to and got rejected! His film career has many ups and downs, so much so it may leave you assuming he likes to have a successful movie, and then follow it up with a failure!!
As he attempts to make it big in Hollywood, he is helped along the journey by:
- his agent Eric Murphy (E) played by Kevin Connolly. E is Vince's best friend from home and progresses over the series to take the position of Vince's manager. E has a love-hate relationship with Vince's agent Ari Gold. They insist on continually insulting each other, but always end up sticking together as friends as well as putting Vince first. The two also provide the infamous "Lets hug it out" moment - my personal favorite moment in the show!
- his older brother Johnny Chase (Drama) played by Kevin Dillon. Drama was the first Chase to hit Hollywood and starred in a successful TV show Viking Quest. However unlike Vince, he never seems to get another chance to it the big time. He is constantly recognized for his previous role and begins to come frustrated and not being able to get his next big role! He doesn't really appreciate Vince taking his thunder but however much he tries to convince the guys otherwise, he basically sponges of his younger brother. His relationship with Turtle who also sponges of Vince a lot of the time, is typical of two twin brothers battling for the most attention from their mother! It is another of the show that I love - you're probably getting the hint that I love this show!
- his friend and driver Sal (Turtle) played Jerry Ferrera. Sal begins the show with issues reguarding how is treated. He doesn't really see how he can be useful to Vince's career prospects and regularly falls out with E as he feels he is being unnecessarily bossed about. However, as the series progress, he gains more confidence. He recognizes the potential in unsigned rap artist Saigon, he notices a chance to make a lot of money with Tequila and he also manages to pull an absolute stunner in Jamie-Lynn Singler!
- his (super) agent Ari Gold played by Jeremy Piven. My all time favorite character in any TV show let alone Entourage. Can't seem to get along with anyone. He argues consistently with E and this is one of his best friends! Everyone else sees his full (unjustified and unadulterated) wrath. When something gets in his way, if a wall comes up in front of him, he knocks it down. In terms of Vince's career this is perfect, but for everyone else it means they pretty much all hate Ari. He alienates pretty much every other character, going through assistants almost as quickly as Vince goes through female acquaintances! He fails to notice how good a life he has, his assistant Lloyd is loyal but there becomes a time when even he gives up on Ari. Ari's wife also begins to bear the brunt in the later series for his extremely driven nature.
There are many reoccurring roles in Entourage. My personal favorites would probably be Lloyd, one of Ari's assistants and Shona, Vince's publicist. Both actors perform perfectly in there roles, particularly when complementing Ari's awfully brash and arrogant character. Sometimes I wish both had bigger parts in the show, and let me put it this way; If there were any characters whose spin-off shows I would watch, it would be these two!
One of the many reasons Entourage became so popular was it guest celebrity appearances. I mean come on, any show that manages to get a guest appearance from a certain Scarlett Johansson in the first series, you know it is going places! Over all eight series guests include Bono, James Cameron, Mark Wahlberg, Jessica Alba, LeBron James, Tom Brady and many many MANY more.
I personally sell Entourage to my mates by describing it like the "lads version of Friends" as it follows the lifestyle, good times and the bad times through these guys lives. It is my all time favorite show and it would take a lot to top it! Would recommend it to anyone over the age of 15, although some of the female gender may not enjoy it to the same extent I fear!
I found this phone to be perfect for my needs. I got when I think I was 15, and it was my second phone. It was a definite upgrade and offered everything I needed.
It is a few years old now (Released May 2010) and may be more appropriate for a 11-12 year old for their first phone. Much more appropriate than chucking a £500 iPhone at them and basically telling them to lose your money!
My old Wildfire got given to my Nan. She (very) rarely uses her phone and any flaws the phone has really make no difference to her. Her main problem with the "brick" phones was the keys were to small for her, but she found the touch screen easier to use (I admit I found that surprising!) and that the predictive text concept was much more useful once she understood it.
The main problem I had with the phone was the internal memory. With 384MB RAM and 523MB ROM, it became an issue quite quickly. It became clear that a memory card with this phone was a must! Once I got the memory card, storing music and video files and the like became much easier. However the internal memory situation left me having to delete apps quite regularly whenever the was a new "hip" app that I had to have!
The display and screen are good enough for the aforementioned target markets. It will only come as a shock (in that it is small) to those those with iPhone's, Samsung Galaxy S's, Nexus' and the like.
The battery life is perhaps not quite as bad as genuine smartphones like those mentioned above, but for relatively little gain in life, you lose A LOT of features. Again it is another point that supports my opinion that this is a very good option for a phone for people who use it sparingly.
The Camera (5MP) is in the "okay but nothing special" category. With video capability as well, the camera can be used here and there, but for any semi-serious use it is not really applicable.
Overall, this phone served me well. I believe I had it on a £20 contract for 24 months, with pretty much unlimited everything. Obviously this was a few years ago and the phone will be much cheaper now. It is an average phone, but useful for people who aren't either used to smartphones, or to those who have minimal use for them.
In this book, James Patterson invites us in to the first installment of the life of Alex Cross. Cross, a member of the Washington police department, specializes in the psychological aspects of catching the murderers in the most horrific of cases.
What Patterson excels at particularly well is balance that action, seriously gun-toting and deadly tension with Cross' other life issues. Living at home with his "Nana" and his two children Damon and Jannie, he is adapting to life without his dead spouse Maria.
Throughout the book, we bare witness to all of Cross' issues. Whether it be his family's recent loss, the quest to catch the horrifying killer or the bureaucracy that prevents Cross, perhaps the biggest asset in the police department, working to his full potential.
Working with Sampson, his 'built like a basketball player', his best friend, Cross' life is engaging and therefore so is the book. Patterson drew me in well enough that not only could I not put this book down, I have since almost caught him up in how fast he writes them! And this is no mean feat!
The Samsung Galaxy S3 is everything I expected it to be. It was marketed (as most rivals are these days) as the biggest thorn in the Iphone's side, and it was just that.
It has the age old smartphone problem of battery running low fairly quickly, but remembering to turn bluetooth/wifi off and brightness down significantly helps. It offers almost all the features of the IPhone and with the Android market catching up so quickly with Apples equivalent, the quite often criticism that there are some apps you cannot get, is becoming more and more irrelevant.
It has a good interface and very easy on the eye, all round the best phone I have owned. I find it appropriate for both my social use, and for any business use I require. It has also made my mind up on what my next phone upgrade will be - The Samsung Galaxy S4.

Hi Devin,
apologies for the delay, completely forgot about this.
Can you tell me how I'd add a new dynamic template element? Is there a helpfile you could point me to?
the site is at http://www.tufnellparkpests.com and the page in question is http://www.tufnellparkpests.com/prices/ (excuse its current ugliness).
This template displays the custom fields. However, it operates as an external page (like the blog) and not as a single page (like the rest of the site).
I guess my main question is, what template would I alter to get the custom fields for Prices to appear within the one page portfolio.
Thanks Devin, a fix would be great.
Found it :)
It was in Coalition >> One Page Portfolio and the Text Area in position 2 on the list and Text Area (position 6)
I'm having the same problem but can't see "One Page Portfolio's first Text Area." in Portfolio Items > Coalition
I'd also like to remove "Definitley the most versatile One page Portfolios I have ever seen" (which is misspelt btw).
Thank you.

The only soft category was board books, down 14.9 percent, while hardcovers were up 42.8 percent and e-books were up 24.3 percent. Recent surveys indicate that e-book sales for the YA category are being fueled by readers who have aged out of the teen demographic. As long as these adult readers are contributing to the bottom line, we see no reason to check their ID.

Hailey Czigler went with her best opportunity.
Hailey Czigler went with her best opportunity.
And that, the White Oak High senior said, was why she recently decided to play basketball for Brunswick Community College in Bolivia.
�I think it was the best opportunity for me,� Czigler said. �The coach (Joe Gaughan) is a great coach. He was interested on me. I visited the campus and I really like that it�s small. The coach said I had a lot of potential to play (NCAA) Division II or III.�
Until then, the 18-year-old Czigler plans on playing for the Dolphins for two years to earn her Associates Degree and playing basketball before attending a four-year school.
Last season, BCC went 11-17 overall and 5-11 in the Region X conference.
�I just want to help the team in any way I can and I want to have fun,� Czigler said. �I love playing basketball.�
Czigler said she�s been playing basketball for about �eight to 10 years,� and during that time she has developed a skill for making 3-pointers.
While she only averaged about nine points as a senior this past season, Czigler was one of the area�s top shooters from behind the arc.
�I think I can give them my three-point shooting,� she said. �I�m also a committed player. I�m ready to work hard. But I have to get better at my ball handling and on my defense.�

It's not unheard of for people to organize their funeral arrangements once they hit a certain age, even more so when they have health problems that indicate that their life is winding down. Queen Elizabeth is no different and in fact may be a bit more on top of things than the average person. She was hospitalized back in February for a bad case of gastroenteritis but at the time, it was also revealed that she has a multitude of health issues including a bad heart. GLOBE first reported weeks ago that royal watchers are fearing that the Queen may not live long enough to greet Prince William and Kate Middleton's firstborn when it makes its grand entrance this July.
According to the April 15th print edition of GLOBE the Queen is making the necessary arrangements and they are similar to the funeral that took place for her mother eleven years ago. Another way that she is preparing is by making sure that the country will be left in the best hands possible. We've heard rumblings for awhile now that the Queen promised the throne to Prince William if he produced an heir and royal watchers speculate that he indeed will pass his father, Prince Charles and ascend first. While William is a good solid man that thrives in a leadership position his father has become quite the laughing stock. In recent issues GLOBE has reported that Charles' marriage to Camilla Parker-Bowles is in critical condition thanks in great part to her heavy duty boozing and undying hatred of Kate. Now we're also hearing that the Queen and Kate have had some serious conversations which have led to some secret confessions on the Queen's part.
Marie Osmond has been a legendary Hollywood fixture for about 40 years now and she often seems to make news for either tragedy or a scandal surrounding her. Over the years, GLOBE has told us about Marie's failed marriages, sons suicide and we have read about her emotional journey back from the edge on more than one occasion. The April 15th print edition includes the latest on Marie as it seems that she is smack in the middle of a shocking lesbian situation.
Old Hollywood fans will also want to grab a copy of the latest issue to read about Kirk Douglas' sad last days and Doris Day's Oscar snubs.
This is just a very quick glimpse into what's in store for you within the pages of the April 15th edition of GLOBE. As usual they are ahead of the curve and reporting on things that other news outlets are ignoring. You'd never know the REAL drama going on inside of the palace walls if not for their accurate reporting! They also bring old Hollywood back in vogue each week with a story or two on at least one legendary icon. It's no coincidence that the latest issue of GLOBE will be my reading as soon as I get my copy! GLOBE always surpasses the other weekly magazines in all respects with its accurate and entertaining reporting and great stories. GLOBE will be the highlight of your week like it is mine – it's the mag that you'll want to crack the binding on first and foremost!

Hi Dagmar, it's always lovely to see you here! I don't know how you manage all that work, and still find time for puzzles. I'm glad you enjoyed it, I love making them ~ but haven't got so much time these days for making. I'm busy enjoying all the beautiful puzzles, and catching up with my bookmarks. If only we had 38 hour days :)We had 1 beautiful Spring like day earlier in the week. Beautiful clear blue skies, filled with the tweeting of the birds. It was so lovely, but needless to say, it didn't last and we are back to the normal blustery winds and rain :(( On the other hand, our rubbish weather is a great excuse for staying indoors, with lots of warm coffee, chocolate and indulging in Jigidi!!Thank you for your always lovely comments, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend :D
Thanks Debs for some late night fun, only 30:34, but taking into account that it is late Thursday night after thirteen hours work it isn't too bad either LOL. I enjoyed myself very much doing your Wednesday hotchpoch as usually everything was beautifully distributed and the bits and pieces and their colours were pure delight falling into place all on their own. :))I hope you have a good weather forecast for the weekend, if not there is always Jigidi. :))Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy yourself. :))
Thank you for your visit, Jillibus. I'm happy to know you had fun with the quirky sayings :)
Thank you, Timmie. I'm thrilled to know you enjoyed it :)
Plus as a former Great Dane breeder I loved seeing Marmaduke :-)
And I love the wise and funny little sayings too.
Very pretty and fun to do. Love the glass Easter eggs.

An update to the EVO 4G hit the internet recently. As always the people over at XDA have gotten their hands on the software, rooted it, and are currently in the middle of the investigative process to see what has been changed.
According to joeykrim the update included changes to the hboot, Recovery.img, kernel, and many of the .jar files within the overall framework. The update is new and may not yet be ready for the masses so it may be a smart idea to hold off unless you're feeling adventurous and want to experience for your self and even doing some investigative work.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger filled one of three vacancies on the state's 17-member Sex Offender Management Board Friday, appointing Robert Coombs, 30, the Sacramento director of public affairs for the California Coalition Against Sexual Assault.
Schwarzenegger asked the board March 12 to review how the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation handled John Albert Gardner III's parole.
Gardner is a convicted sex offender who spent five years in prison for assaulting a 13-year-old former neighbor in Rancho Bernardo in 2000 and three years on parole. He is accused of raping and killing Chelsea King, 17, of Poway, last month and assaulting a female jogger in December. He is also under investigation in the death of Amber Dubois, 14, of Escondido.
The positions on the Sex Offender Management Board are volunteer. The board was created in 2006 to make California communities safer from sex offenders.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

The studio behind a coming summer movie, "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer," has roused the ire of the United States Mint with its promotional gimmick for the film, in which Marvel Comics superheroes battle a metallic alien.
The studio, 20th Century Fox, hired the Franklin Mint, a private company that manufactures scale models, statuettes, pocket knives, medallions and collectibles, to place a full-color image of the Silver Surfer, complete with Web address, on the backs of 40,000 California statehood quarters.
The altered coins (which are not in fact silver) were distributed nationwide in the period leading up to Memorial Day. Visitors to the Web site can compete to win a prize in connection with the movie's June 15 release (finding one of the coins is not required).
But the United States Mint, which is the exclusive maker of American coinage, took exception to the stunt. Although it is not illegal to deface American coins as long as there is no intention to defraud, it is illegal to advertise on coins, the mint pointed out last week.
M. Moshe Malamud, chairman of the Franklin Mint, denied that what the company put on the coins was an advertisement. He said it "enhanced" the coins to make them "commemorative," as it did a few years ago when it added images of Elvis Presley to millions of Tennessee state quarters.
A spokesman for the United States attorney's office in Los Angeles, where Fox is based, declined to comment on the matter yesterday.
The United States Postal Service, meanwhile, plans to issue a sheet of 41 cent stamps in July featuring 10 Marvel Comics characters. Among them are the Silver Surfer and Spider-Man, the subject of another summer movie. A similar sheet showing DC Comics characters was issued last summer. Congress made it legal last year to use commercial images on postage.Continue reading the main story
Some of the Silver Surfer quarters have shown up on eBay, where collectors have paid as much as $149 each — a high price for a quarter, but modest in comparison to the $250-plus that was bid recently for an original copy of the first issue of the Silver Surfer comic book. The Silver Surfer first appeared in a Fantastic Four comic book in 1966; he was given his own title in 1968. MATTHEW HEALEYContinue reading the main story

Harry Redknapp has warned West Ham not to expect their latest batch of youngsters to eclipse the achievements of his own 'golden generation' at Upton Park.
The east Londoners have reinvigorated their reputation for developing native talent by introducing James Tomkins, Freddie Sears, Jack Collison and Junior Stanislas to their first-team squad this season, but Redknapp insists they could never match the quality of the academy graduates developed during his seven-year tenure.
Redknapp oversaw the blooding of Rio Ferdinand, Frank Lampard, Michael Carrick, Joe Cole, Jermain Defoe and Glen Johnson before leaving in 2001, with all six since establishing themselves as England regulars. The Tottenham manager has the chance to gauge the merits of Gianfranco Zola's class of 2009 at close quarters today when the Italian brings them to White Hart Lane, but he doubts whether they can hope to enjoy the same levels of success as their predecessors.
"I've been asked whether West Ham's current crop could compare with the ones I had and my answer was 'no chance'," said Redknapp. "They have good kids at West Ham now but the fact that we produced six top players was a freak occurrence. They were all world-class players and you can't get carried away and say it's going to happen again. The six are all internationals and a couple are among the best players in the world.
"It was an incredible group and you'll never get that again. Only the great Manchester United generation in the 1990s could compare to that – the likes of David Beckham, Paul Scholes, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt and the Neville brothers.
"It's a misconception that West Ham is a great production line of young players. It was a club that produced youngsters a long time ago – it used to be a conveyor belt in the days of Bobby Moore, Frank Lampard Snr and, later on, Trevor Brooking, but they had gone 11 or 12 years without producing a player before I took over there in 1994."

In keeping up with their reputation of class, culture and dignity, The Los Angeles NAACP Youth Council held their 2008 Men of Valor Awards Luncheon at the Torrance Marriott Hotel on Saturday, June 14.
This annual event culminates a year-long program uplifting and providing outstanding service to others.
The Youth Council honors men in our community who are willing to lend a helping hand to young African American males.
This honor is given to men doing exemplary work, and are positive attributes to the African American Community. The honor is also given by the Youth Council because the honorees' contribution to society is beneficial to young people as well.
Youth Council members select men in these categories to honor business, legal, education, religion, and other public positions. This gives the youth opportunities to observe leaders in the community and get a chance to hear about their community involvement.
As the program began, over 180 guests were greeted at their tables by Youth Council members handsomely dressed in tuxedos supplied by Tuxedo Plus, located in the Imperial Highway and Crenshaw Plaza, a Black owned business.
The audience enjoyed hearing the bios of the honorees, but more than that, they enjoyed seeing the young men handle the entire program.
After receiving their award, each honoree offered words of praise and encouragement to the youth for doing an outstanding job.
The Youth Council has celebrated approximately 50 or more African American men as 'Men of Valor' awardees.
Some of the honorees selected in the past were: Kerman Maddox, James Smith, (recent retired U.S. Post Master); Council Bernard Parks, Judge Greg Mathis, Rev. Cecil Murray, and the list go on and on.
This year, the Youth Council has chosen a quote by Booker T. Washington, as the theme for the 2008 Men of Valor Awards; "Success Leaves Footprints."
LeVon Wright called the names of twenty-three Youth Council Members.
The 2008 recipients were: Fire Chief Douglas Barry, Superintendent of Schools, David Brewer, TV News Anchor and Journalist, Marc Brown, NAACP Membership Recruiter Charles Burks, owners of the Lucy Florence Coffee Club; Richard and Tonald Harris, Bernard Kinsey, a Philanthropist and business Consultant, Dr. Thomas Tucker, DDS. Rev. Leslie White senior pastor of Grant AME Church.
Austin Hutcherson introduced Fire Chief Douglas Barry, who wore his uniform, and was accompanied by his lovely wife and Captain Hogan. He thanked the youth for the honor and congratulated them for their involvement in the NAACP.
Superintendent David Brewer, III, was very impressed with the performance of the young men and ladies of the Youth Council. He congratulated the youth, the NAACP Branch and the parents for the work they are doing with the youth. Justin May, the newly elected NAACP Youth Council President introduced Marc Brown, Channel 7 News Anchor and Journalist. Justin opted to introduce him because he plans on becoming a Sports Announcer for T.V. in the future. Quinn Hailes used explicit words to introduce Charles Burks, the NAACP Membership Recruiter.
Khalid Stevens is interested in majoring in Business after graduating from high school. He chose to introduce Bernard Kinsey, after reading his impressive bio. Kinsey addressed the audience and applauded the youth for selecting him as a Man of Valor. His wife Shirley also enjoyed seeing the youth take the lead in the program.
Dr. Thomas Tucker, III, was introduced by his Mentee Russell White. White was happy to have the opportunity to introduce his dentist and his Mentor as a Man of Valor. Thirty-six patients and friends of Dr. Tucker, witnessed him receiving his award. His lovely daughters were among the excited crown to applaud Dr. Tucker for thirty-four years of exemplary service in the community. Nicolas Tinson delighted the audience with his introduction of Rev. Leslie White, the proud senior pastor of Grant AME Church. Rev. White's wife was among the twenty-five Grant members in support of their dynamic pastor.
Many of the NAACP board members were there to support the youth and Mr. Burks.
Dr. Geraldine R. Washington, Branch President was over joyed with the entire program. She congratulated the honorees as she thanked the parents of the Youth Council. She was so impressed with the attendance and the beautiful job that the Youth did in presenting the program.
She also thanked the Youth Council Advisor, Ms. Merelean Wilson for an outstanding job that she has done over the last eight years.
Ms. Wilson was overwhelmed with the choice of honorees, and as always, she expressed her appreciation to the Youth and their supportive parents.
Special thanks were given to Ms. Rene White, Linda Tidwell and Antoinette Kashimbiri for excellent work at the registration desk. Ms. Wilson was extremely proud of all the Youth participants.
The NAACP Youth Council Membership chairperson is Mark Williams Jr.
There are many men in our community, but our young men and women seldom get to know them, however, to expose our youth to positive strong leaders is just another way of showing them that they can become successful in their endeavors.
Freedom Fighters Since 1936
The NAACP believes strongly that future leaders must be developed today, and such development is ongoing in the Youth and College Division.
Today there are more than 30,000 young people representing 600 Youth Councils, High School Chapters and College Chapters actively involved in the fight for civil rights.
Their Mission
The mission of the NAACP Youth and College Division shall be to inform youth of the problems affecting African Americans and other racial and ethnic minorities; to advance the economic, education, social and political status of African Americans and other racial and ethnic minorities and their harmonious cooperation with other people. For more information, call (323) 291-3413, or you may call the Los Angeles NAACP Branch office at (310) 397-1171.

Exceeded my expectations
Several American reviewers attempted to sabotage this game even though it wasn't being released outside of Asia/Japan. Those reviewers should be absolutely ashamed of themselves!
Yes, this game is about beautiful women that you can dress up in different swimsuits and take suggestive pictures of....so what? I think ...[read more...]
- Please note: A Taiwan/Singapore/Hong Kong PlayStation Network (PSN) account is required to redeem/download any downloadable content (DLC) of this game
After years of build up, Koei Tecmo has released the very first footage forDead Or Alive Xtreme 3! Many gamers share fond memories of the previous iterations, especially the first title, Dead Or Alive XtremeVolleyball, as this was indeed thereason why some of us originally bought the first Xbox.
Notorious in it's promotional material and absolutely unabashed at what this title is about, DOAX3 carries on the tradition of this spin-off by taking the girls of Dead Or Alive and pitting them in a no holds barred beach vacation filled with mini-games designed to showcase the new technological advances of the series.Apparently there is volleyball or something ;)
By using the upgraded Soft Engine 2.0 for thePS4 Version (an improved breast engine based off Dead Or Alive 5 Last Round)and the Soft Engine Lite (PS Vita Version), 4 main changes have been made to the character models. New skin shaders give off a realistic andhealthy vibrancy, and breast physics have been fine tuned for maximum voluptuousness. As well,game changing booty physics have been fleshed out, along with the fact that no other game containssuch realistic tanning. The main stay Camera Mode also returns.
There are 9 characters in the roster, selected based on a popularity contest where the results were announced during the Toyko Game Show 2015:Marie Rose, Honoka, Kasumi, Ayane, Kokoro, Nyotengu, Hitomi, Momiji, and Helena Douglas complete the roster, with no plans for DLC.
Finally, Dead Or Alive Xtreme 3 isa Japanese/Asian Region exclusive, although if a Western release happens,it will be an "adjusted" version. What this actually means though, is highly based on the assumption of censorship; in the meantime, this version is the only sure bet on the original xtreme experience.

Outstanding work.

This is so not right. Pixtudio should not have to participate in the Gui Olympics because they are the Gods of skinning. These people are too good at skinning. I want to use this opportunity to accuse Pixtudio for making me so addictive to their skins. Sometimes, I spent hours stairing at my computer just to admire their work. Jesus Christ! Thunder Storm is a masterpiece, a true work of art. Pixtudio is responsible for making me so happy.
Congratulation to the Masters.
