Ally McCoist last night paid tribute to his former Rangers team-mate, Ian Redford, who was found dead on Friday.
There was a minute's silence before the game against East Fife at Ibrox and McCoist talked warmly afterwards about the midfielder, who had been a visitor to the stadium and the training ground just after Christmas.
McCoist also talked about the encouragement Fernando Ricksen has taken from the support of the Rangers fans following his diagnosis with motor neurone disease.

The Dutchman was introduced to the crowd at half-time and left the field in tears after the ovation he received. The fate of Ricksen and Redford made events on the pitch at Ibrox seem incidental.
"I can't tell you what a shock it is," McCoist said of Redford's death. "Everyone here is devastated. He was here on Boxing Day with his son and came in for a beer. The following week he came up to Murray Park and we watched training. We then went inside and had a sandwich and a great conversation. I've known him since the 1980s. We are all devastated and our thoughts are with his family, his wife Janine and his two boys and his daughter. It's absolutely terrible."
Ricksen was in Glasgow this weekend to attend two functions arranged for him to meet supporters. He was too frail to talk to the crowd, but it was clear that the occasion overwhelmed him. The crowd also sang his name during the game.
"Incidents like that put everything into perspective," McCoist said. "I spoke to Fernando before the game and he was extremely positive and genuinely happy to be back in Glasgow. He was thrilled at the reception he was getting from people who hold him very dearly. And it's to Fernando's credit the fans have taken to him as much as they have."

First division football club Veendam hovered on the brink of collapse on Friday after judges granted a club request not to declare it bankrupt just yet.
Veendam officials are pinning their hopes on local entrepreneurs to raise the necessary cash to bail out the club, news agency ANP reports.
According to RTV Noord, the club still has debts of some €150,000, meaning €200,000 has already been raised this week.
Veendam FC was founded in 1894, making it one of the oldest Dutch clubs.
First division side Haarlem was declared bankrupt earlier this year.
Earlier this week a football association commission said urgent steps need to be taken to stop a number of professional football clubs going bankrupt.
Last year, the clubs lost tens of millions of euros, thanks to the recession and downturn in sponsorship. Clubs also raised less money from transfers and tv rights.

Has anyone ever seen a red, white, and blue variegated thread for hand quilting? If so, do you remember where and/or the brand name?
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Has anyone ever seen a red, white, and blue variegated thread for hand quilting? If so, do you remember where and/or the brand name?
Maxilock at Hancock's had red/white/blue, it is called Rocket, and it works great for any type of quilting you choose to do. I have extra spools if you want to purchase one. It is polyester but is colorfast and I have had no issues using this thread. The sale price on this was $4.99, 3,000yards.Originally Posted by lscho4jm
I know YLI has one - I used it a few years ago. But I was looking for a thicker - almost big stitch look - for my project.
Are you looking for a thinner or thicker thread? Does it have to be cotton?
I would prefer cotton but am open to suggestions. And, I'd like a medium thread. Too thin and it probably wouldn't look right, and the same for too thick of thread. I sound like a politician. :lol:Originally Posted by MTS
sorry, can't help you with the thread. can you use solids and change the different sections of your quilting with the different colors?
The YLI was a 40wt.Originally Posted by lscho4jm
First pic on the second page
It was definitely saw it on the quilt. And I don't know if you'd be happy quilting an entire quilt with it.
I probably have a spool or two around. Somewhere. :roll:
Check out these sites (I'm too lazy today) - each carries many different types of thread. One of them should have what you want.

Fun-loving boys will appreciate this romp through the life of fourth grade inventor Scab McNally. Scab is certain he saw a monster in the local lake while on a fishing trip, but his mom won't let him go back to check it out unless he passes the next level of the swim class. That means swimming in the deep end of the pool, one of Scab's least-favorite things. Rather than be caught dead in his squirrel swim trunks, Scab heads to his inventors' lab to design his way out of his predicament, but things don't go entirely to plan. Action-packed and outdoorsy, this is a great listen for boys who many not otherwise enjoy books, and performer Oliver Wyman expresses the goofy, fun-loving Scab to a "t".
Scab McNally is convinced he almost caught a swamp creature in the local lake. So he heads back to his secret lab to invent a way to find proof in this hilarious story.

Yesterday I had the privilege of attending a 7 1/2 hour workshop with Marci Baker of Alicia's Attic. It was my first actual class in quilting, altho I've been quilting for about 45 years. We spent about 2 hours learning about rotary cutting materials and procedures! I can't believe how much simpler it can be than what I have been doing. We also had a great lesson on ironing. It really makes a difference when you can watch someone do it in person, try it yourself, and have immediate feedback.
As soon as I got home, I headed out to the store to get a new shorter ruler and a new seam ripper. I still need to get a new iron and a couple of specialty products for the ruler.
She has a lot of youtube videos that you can access from her website. www.aliciasattic.com
One of her big ideas is how to make tumbling blocks without having to do y-seams. We are making a queensize quilt in blues and dark reds with this method. I am really excited about it.

Apollos Nwafor, WaterAid's Regional Advocacy Manager said 'We are relieved that those involved in the Financing for Development talks have managed to reach an agreement and that the Accord references the importance of funding water and sanitation work. The Accord has created a financing foundation for the United Nations to build on in September when the Sustainable Development Goals will be launched. 'However the wording of the Accord does not, in WaterAid's opinion, suggest that we are going to see the necessary transformation of funding for water and sanitation work that will be needed if we are to achieve the hugely ambitious yet achievable goal of universal access by 2030. 'Providing access to water and sanitation transforms lives, improving people's health, a country's prosperity and children's life chances. It will be a crucial part in helping to achieve many of the Sustainable Development Goals as well as fulfilling a fundamental human right to be able to drink clean water and use a safe toilet.'

ANTIOCH — Two people died and another was seriously injured Tuesday afternoon in a head-on collision between a motorcycle and a car on the Highway 4 bypass.
The crash took place at 4:40 p.m. just west of Lone Tree Way, California Highway Patrol Officer Tom Maguire said.
A silver 1995 Honda Civic was traveling west when a black Ford F-250 towing a wakeboard-style boat swerved into the Civic's lane, Maguire said. The driver of the Civic, a 19-year-old Antioch woman, was forced to cross the double-yellow line, directly into the path of a 2000 Harley-Davidson motorcycle that was traveling east.
The male driver of the blue Harley-Davidson died at the crash site. A female passenger was thrown from the motorcycle and later died at an Antioch hospital. The driver of the Civic had serious leg injuries, but her condition is not considered life-threatening.
The CHP was searching for the driver of the Ford and is investigating the crash as a "non-contact hit-and-run," Maguire said.
"We really want to talk to them," he said.
The identities of the victims were not available late Tuesday.
This was the fourth fatality and the second in two months on the bypass between Antioch and Brentwood since it began opening in stages eight years ago. Originally hailed as a saving grace for road-weary drivers, the bypass has drawn criticism from motorists who find parts of it congested and unsafe.
At least 178 accidents have occurred along the portion of the route from the Highway 160 flyover south to the beginning of Vasco Road.
The State Route 4 Bypass Authority plans to widen the segment between Lone Tree Way and Balfour Road from two to four lanes, which observers think would significantly reduce gridlock in both directions during peak commute hours.
Of the 47 collisions that the CHP handled on the bypass during a roughly two-year period ending April 11, excessive speed was the primary factor in 14.
Anyone with information about Tuesday's crash can call 1-800-TELL-CHP or 925-646-4980.

The numbers are in and curling finished lucky 13th among TSN sports events in 2011 … not spectacular, but not bad.
The peak show was the gold medal match at the men's worlds in Regina, at which Canada's Jeff Stoughton defeated Scotland's Tom Brewster. The 1.32 million viewers ranked it as the 13th most-watched event on TSN in 2011, well behind the usual slate of NHL playoff and world junior hockey games and Grey Cup football.
Even the "Roast of Charlie Sheen" on The Comedy Network scored higher than curling, at 1.78 million, which is either horrifying or awesome, depending on your point of view.
Other TSN 2011 curling audiences included the Brier final (1.31 million), the women's STOH final (1.11 million) and one of the Brier playoff games at 993,000 viewers.
Pretty good for curling numbers — numbers that many other sports would kill for. Sure, the Brier final was down a bit from 2010 (1.56 million) and the women's final saw a bigger drop (from 1.72 million) but those were pre- and post-Olympic frenzy figures, and just might never be seen again.
Another area in which curling excels is sponsorship support. At a time when the post-Vancouver 2010 corporate sag is in full effect, with companies abandoning sports including figure skating and bobsleigh/skeleton, curling sponsorships are actually growing.
Many partners have been around for decades — think Kruger (aka Scott Paper) and Ford — and others have been upsold from the supplier level to big-time event title status (think Tim Hortons).
Recent trends have seen companies that started out as team sponsors — somewhat thin on budget and heavy on community charm — step up and become national partners with enormous new budget outlays, such as M&M Meat Shops, The Dominion (insurance, not the grocer) and World Financial Group.
There was a time, not too long ago, that the Canadian Curling Association saw little or no potential in talking with team curling sponsors. Not anymore.
Other partners started their curling relationship with rival competitions and then joined the official CCA partner stable — like Capital One.
Recently, the national body scored Bell as their new telco partner, which has pretty much sold out their "Season of Champions" inventory. All that's left is to re-jig said inventory to try and rebuild past TV properties — like the Mixed — or create new ones, perhaps for CIS University play and/or Mixed Doubles, which desperately needs a national championship.
There's more to TV curling than the Season of Champions, of course — just as there is more to the sport itself than the high-performance athletes who entertain us on the box.
CBC still has the Grand Slam circuit, sponsored by the aforementioned Capital One, and while TV numbers were decent in the spring at about 500,000 on average, the numbers from this past fourth quarter have been dismal. Clearly, something needs a shake-up.
The players have tried to do their part, bringing in the five-rock rule for their December show in Kingston. But the shows themselves — and their promotion — might need a reboot, and that's something that CBC and event partner iSport need to consider.
In addition, cable still loves the Roaring Game. Occasional World Curling Tour events pop up on regional TV coverage, and the men's (and sometimes women's) provincial championships broadcast hours of competition in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba (via Shaw) and Ontario and New Brunswick (Rogers). Watch for those in January and February.
Best Show, hands down, goes to last February's late-week round-robin women's match between Team Canada's Jennifer Jones and Manitoba's Cathy Overton-Clapham. The epic grudge match between world champion ex-teammates was analyzed and promoted far in advance and despite its relatively meaningless nature — Jones had a playoff berth wrapped up with Manitoba playing for pride — the spectacle actually delivered. With the fans going bonkers, Cathy O put on a clinic, won the game and captured even more hearts than she had grabbed in the preceding months. All the while, non-curling fans in prairie sports bars were buzzing. Seriously … the Spectator Snafu of the Year is a tie between the London Flag Flap and the Cranbrook Cowbell Cataclysm. At the 2011 Brier, octogenarian Ontario fan Jack Cox was prevented by overzealous arena staff from running with his flag — safety issues, you see. Meanwhile, the cowbell debacle from a few weeks ago was similar — due to overzealous arena enforcers — but that one turned into an internal communications failure for the CCA … Best Result for Subpar Performance goes to Kevin Martin for his entire 2010-11 season. While running himself into the ground with post-Olympic corporate appearances, the Old Bear struggled with his mechanics and still managed to win two Grand Slams (including the Players' Championship), the TSN Curling Skins Game and a number of games he, er, shouldn't have won. In fact, the only obviously poor result came at the Brier — called early by yours truly — where his Edmonton crew were eliminated in the 3 vs 4 playoff game. Martin's bad day at the office is something every other curler can only dream of … the Disappearing Act Award goes to the plethora of great thirds who retired from the sport this past summer, some of them quite abruptly. Richard Hart, Blake MacDonald and Mark Nichols all said goodbye to high-performance competition despite Olympic and/or world championship pedigrees, and some of them might never return … Quote of the Year goes to Stoughton third Jon Mead after losing a Slam final to Martin: "I don't know how anyone can win a Grand Slam throwing it that bad."

Hailstorm Tips For Windows And Sliding DoorsFriday, May 15th, 2015
Every once in a while Central Texans get pelted with serious hailstorms, notably one monster that damaged what seemed like half the cars in town several years ago. As we move into spring storm season, this is a good time to think about protecting yourself, your family, and your home against these threats. Here are some solutions for hail-proofing your residence:
Shutters and panels – Protecting your family members from flying glass takes top priority when large hailstones are dive-bombing you from various directions. The easiest way to protect both your loved ones and the investment you've made in your windows is to attach sturdy storm shutters or window panels. These products are typically available for commercial and residential properties alike. You can choose from permanent shutters that are always ready to protect the windows against various types of flying objects (including tree branches or other dangerous items flung by high winds), or temporary shutters that are only installed during hail or tornado season. Solid panels provide an additional degree of protection, at the cost of being able to see through them as you can with shutters. Aluminum or steel are common materials for storm shutters and panels; you should be able to find them in a style and color that enhance your home exterior.
Screens – If you're worried about protecting your sliding glass doors against hail impacts, consider installing protective screens. Some companies offer screen material made of UV-resistant polyester mesh fabric, available in large rolls that can be cut to protect just about any space imaginable. You can even attach it to your back porch to cover the entire area, protecting not only your patio door but other nearby windows as well. Framed metal mesh screens can protect individual windows from smaller hailstones.
Film – If you don't want to put up shutters or screens, think about adding a layer of invisible security film to the windows themselves. This film is a plastic laminate that bonds to the surface of the glass. It performs the same basic role as the laminate layer in a car windshield, holding the glass in place if a heavy object such as a massive hailstone hits it. You'll still have a messed-up window, but your loved ones on the other side of it won't be hurt by flying glass.
Double-paned windows – Most people choose double-paned windows primarily for their energy efficiency, but that second layer of glass also provides a second layer of protection against hail. A hailstone that penetrates the first layer of glass might be slowed enough to hit the second layer without breaking it, possibly preventing serious injury to your home's occupants. It may also prevent wind and rain from blowing in and messing up the interior. Double-paned glass obviously isn't your first mode of hail defense, but it bears thinking about for that extra bit of impact resistance.
Our team at Zen Windows Austin will be happy to recommend providers of hail protection solutions for your windows. Give us a call with any questions!

THE US Army has published dozens of documents online in the case of WikiLeaks suspect Bradley Manning, after media outlets and other groups had criticised a lack of transparency.
The move came in response to multiple Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests related to the case against Manning, who stands accused of passing a trove of secret files to Julian Assange's anti-secrecy WikiLeaks website.
Among the organisations that demanded access to the pre-trial documents were The Washington Post, CNN and the Centre for Constitutional Rights, which all said they had been prevented from informing the public about the case.
Such documents have been sealed based on requests either by the prosecution or defence lawyers in the case against Manning, which is being heard in a military court at Fort Meade, Maryland, north of the US capital Washington.
In federal civilian court, similar types of documents are nearly always made public.
Even in the military commissions at the Guantanamo detention facility, where pre-trial hearings in the case against the 9/11 plotters are being heard, military lawyers have made such documents available.
On Wednesday, 84 court orders and rulings were released in the Manning case, including a partial transcription of a deposition made by Manning.
The 25-year-old Army private faces a slew of charges, including "aiding the enemy," for allegedly leaking hundreds of thousands of sensitive US military and diplomatic documents to WikiLeaks.
He was arrested in May 2010 while serving as an intelligence analyst near Baghdad and subsequently charged over the largest leak of restricted documents in American history. The trial is expected to begin in June.
The most serious of the 22 charges against him, "aiding the enemy," carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, but Manning's team is trying to have that charge dropped.

Although new on campus, Minch had attended camps for deaf youth leaders with many of the current students. Most found it impossible to believe he could have killed Plunkett. Tawny Holmes spent the night of the arrest with her boyfriend reviewing camp videotapes "to try to see if we could see it in him." They couldn't. Others, of course, felt mostly relief. Fernandes remembers driving home smiling, thinking, It's over.
And then, the next day, D.C. prosecutors vacated Minch's arrest, citing insufficient evidence. The police, however, made it clear he was still a suspect.
"What was happening? We didn't understand," recalls junior Tom Green. Says graduate student Dana Berkowitz: "Feelings were all confused and messed up." Information and its proper dissemination is a loaded issue in a deaf context. Marcus, the psychologist, notes that 90% of deaf Americans are born into hearing families and many are left with a "sense of feeling left out and in the dark. Someone might be talking at dinner, and the whole table breaks out laughing except for the deaf person, who says, 'What? What? What?' And they're only given two sentences or told 'We'll tell you later.'" The erratic, whipsaw police investigation was for Gallaudet's students a nightmare recapitulation.
That night Fernandes visited the campus' six dormitories. At each, students met her by the hundreds. "They were yelling. They were arguing. They were crying," she says. They hurled frantic questions. Was a murderer among them? Was she going to cancel any classes? Would the school close down? After each answer, interpreters shouted her ASL into speech for the hard-of-hearing who did not sign; others pressed her words tactilely into the hands of the deaf and blind. At one dorm the oversize crowd spilled outside, and Fernandes signed in the halo of a sidewalk light, her audience spread out into the darkness. She went to bed at 4 a.m.
In time, the campus relaxed. Minch had retreated to his hometown of Greenland, N.H. Recalls Darlene Prickett of the Gallaudet publicity office: "Most people felt that with him gone, things could start going back to normal." Accordingly, on Feb. 2 the Phi Kappa Zeta sorority threw a party, open to all, at a downtown establishment called the Diva Club. "We don't care what kind of music it is, as long as the bass is going, the rhythm," says junior Rebecca Goldenbaum. It was the first big bash of the new semester. Like many of the revelers, junior Jason Lamberton straggled back to campus at dawn, as the trees blew in a cold wind. When he arrived, he recalls, "I saw the police cars lining up, and I had to rub my eyes and pinch myself. It was the same scene all over again." And it was again at Cogswell. The victim this time was Benjamin Varner. An incorrigibly curious freshman, Varner, 19, had once been limited by a teacher to a mere seven questions a day. Now he lay in his room, stabbed at least 19 times, his throat slashed.
Instead of cell phones, many deaf people use instant messaging and pagers set to vibrate rather than beep. "A few hours after the body was found," says Goldenbaum, "everyone [in deaf America] knew. They knew in California. They knew in New York." And shortly afterward they knew that Minch, who had been in New Hampshire, could not have committed the crime.
"Have you ever seen the movie," asks Marcus, "where there is a killer on the loose and one of the potential victims is trying to trace a call from the murderer and a phone company operator tells her, 'The call is coming from inside your house! Get out!'? That's the way it was here." A police detective informed a crowd at the cafeteria that "anyone here could be a suspect." The mental-health center was swamped, and two students withdrew from the university. Fernandes couldn't sleep. She had moved out of her home and into a house on campus. Every night she wandered the dorms until 1 a.m., talking to students, kicking out chocks they had stuck in self-locking hall doorways.

the water here in florida will be up to 85 in september, though the waves won't be as consistent as cali.
Nah, gruvi doesn't have an accent.

good luck freybriar, I think you came to the right spot

Frei bier ist gut, aber kalt freies bier ist besser. Or is it "kostenlos" for free of charge?
If I had more surfing experience, I'd trade you some beginner surfing lessons for a few refresher German lessons.

germans learning to surf? no go back home you kraut,no nazi on the east coast. you dang kook.

XENOPHOBIA: fear and hatred of strangers or foreigners. Of course, we have none of that here. We're an easy-going, fun-loving bunch.
Apr 28, 2014, 02:51 PM #9
C'mon now, those Austrian dudes from "Zen and Zero" were very cool. They demonstrated the universal appeal of surfing and the ability to achieve stoke regardless of place of origin. German's are more than welcome at my break.
Anyway, good luck with your journey Freybier. Not enough waves here to learn on but if you are ever near the Isle of Chiba, lets hit the waves.
Slide on.

Monsoon Impact
Matt Tombs / Wednesday 19th February 2014 / 15:30
Every year about this time there's much debate about the weather and it's impact on the Festival. It's almost always wetter, drier, colder or warmer than usual and the impact on the ground gets analysed to death. The reality is that if there's a dry week leading up to the Festival, there'll be a sound surface.
The autumn drought, winter monsoon weather has two main impacts on the ground. Firstly, it's natural irrigation rather than watering. That can lead to a better surface as watering isn't an exact science and there have been years when it's been overwatered.
Secondly, the water table is much higher than normal for the second year running. If we get that dry week or so before the meeting there might be the perfect surface, which is dry on top but with plenty of give due to the high water table - the so called trampoline effect which I talked about last season. The flip side is that a high water table means that relatively little rain during the Festival will turn the ground really soft.
Rather than focus on the (well trodden) ground I've been looking at other impacts that the weather may have on Festival results. Here are 4 to consider as the Festival approaches.
The first is not to do with rain but temperature. It's been an incredibly mild winter. In certain parts of the country there's hardly been a frost and one consequence is that the cold weather that usually kills bugs hasn't occurred. You'd need an expert in equine viruses etc to understand the detail - but for the rest of us, it makes looking at trainer form all the more important. If the mild weather continues there must be more chance of stables getting a virus just at the wrong time.
Alan King has already had to shut down his yard. He was less unlucky in that his yard was struck in December. He had the sense to shut down and get it sorted and looks now to be reaping the rewards. If other stables are struck down from now on, it's probably too late to do anything about it for the Festival.
The yards that are in real trouble will be well known. The value is probably more in spotting stables that have lower grade virus issues. Nicky Henderson's yard had looked set to be all conquering in Britain this season. Even allowing for Sprinter Sacre and Simonsig being sidelined, it's been a disappointing season for Seven Barrows. The yard clearly has had some issues at a relatively low level – Nicky's said that he's regularly had higher percentages of bad tracheal washes than usual etc.
Given in the last fortnight he's had 6 winners from 16 runners, you could hardly call his stable out of form. However, unless they are in complete shut down, the mega-yards like Seven Barrows will still have winners even if some of their horses have a low grade virus. Once you get to the white-hot level of competition at the Festival, any yard with even a small problem will generally get found out.
A final point on stable form - it's important not to be dogmatic. Last season Nigel Twiston-Davies' yard looked badly out of form going into the Festival and his horses ran brilliantly. The key is to be open minded and analyse events as they happen. During the mayhem of the Festival that's not easy as there are so many things to think about, but if you can notice significant movements in yard form before everyone else, you'll really have an edge. I'll be keeping an eye out for stable form and vibes, Nicky Henderson's yard being top of the list – given how much Nicky's horses peak for the Festival it wouldn't surprise if he had a glut of winners.
Secondly, the rainfall pattern this season has been unusual. A very dry autumn, not just in Britain but also in Ireland, preceded the monsoon. In the novice hurdle divisions in particular, ie where you know comparatively little about the horses' ground requirements, you've often only got testing ground form to go on from decent races - especially for the Irish novices. If the ground does dry out for the Festival, there's plenty of good ground autumn form to look at this season.
For example, the Grade 1 Royal Bond is usually run on desperate ground but it was good to yielding when The Tullow Tank won, showing a sound surface hold no fears for him. Horses will often win small races on ground they don't like because they outclass the opposition. If they can win good races on it, it's much more of an indication that it will suit.
Thirdly, different trainers have different views about when to run their novice hurdlers and chasers. I've mentioned before that novices who have gained experience from a long campaign – starting before the end of October - have a strong record. There are 7 all-age, level weights, novice races at the Festival. In the last decade 43% have fallen to horses that had run over those obstacles by the end of October, (such horses have composed about 35% of runners.) Unsurprisingly, it's the toughest races – the RSA and 4 miler, where such horses have done best.
With the dry autumn those who got their novices, (who enjoy the sort of decent ground that is likely at the Festival,) out early should be at even more of an advantage. Those who left it late have been stymied by 2 months of torrentially wet weather. Rock On Ruby is a good example – he'll now go to the Festival with just a couple of schools round over fences under his belt. No matter how battle hardened you are on the flat or over hurdles - lack of experience of the discipline you're taking on the top novices in, is a real handicap.
No horse has won the RSA off just 2 chase runs since Florida Pearl in 1998. Classy types that had had only 1 or 2 chase runs but went off favourite in the last decade are Punchestowns (2/1), Time For Rupert (7/4), Commercial Flyer (9/2) and Our Vic (11/8), with only Our Vic making the frame when finishing 3rd to Rule Supreme. I suspect the issues with RSA favourite Ballycasey have been more physical than lack of opportunities because of the ground, but his lack of experience (2 runs) must be a real concern, even if it was his trainer Willie Mullins who saddled Florida Pearl.
Fourthly, there's always discussion of how heavy ground form will play out at a Festival run on a sound surface. One impact that is much less discussed is the impact on predictability. This is a pretty nebulous concept so won't be of interest to punters who like harder facts, but is worth considering if you're more of a 'feel' punter.
Punters are armed with much more information now, (which is reflected by prices on the exchanges), so that, in theory, the market should be right more of the time and shocks should become rarer. By way of comparison, in 1996 one favourite in 20 races won, and in 1997 two favourites won. There are now 27 races and the dilution of quality means you'd expect more favourites to win because the top horses can avoid each other more easily. However, even allowing for that, the 9 winning favourites at the last 2 Festivals reflects a more predictable world.
Simplistically, the less interference there's been from the weather, the more predictable results should be. All weather gallops play a big part in negating the training problems caused by bad weather, but they don't solve them. The endless deluges of the last 2 months is one reason to factor in when analysing form – both of horses and stables. Generically, the bad weather ought to ensure there are more surprises, so there's all the more reason to consider backing some long shots.
Finally, its worth remembering that if we do get a soft ground Festival, it doesn't follow that form on testing ground over the winter will hold up - most of that form will be in steadily run races. Races run at Festival pace on genuinely soft ground become real stamina tests at the distance. If you can find form in good quality races that have been run at a strong gallop on soft ground, that's worth following. Otherwise the basic approach is to look for horses that have the class for the race but will stay the trip after a strong gallop on bad ground.
I still think it's unlikely. Simon Claisse reported yesterday that the ground is currently soft, with there already being some good to soft patches. That's with 3 weeks to go and nothing more than showers forecast for the next 10 days – with mild weather and some strong breezes to dry the ground out. 4 of the last 10 Festivals, including 2 of the last 3, have started on officially good ground.
Crucially, the high water table means that if we get a fairly dry 3 weeks there's much less likely to be watering required to prevent there being a jar in the ground. I can see the Festival starting on natural good ground rather than good to soft, which has been heavily watered to stop it drying out too much later in the week. Hills are going 10/1 on the ground being officially good for the Supreme, which is much too big.

After the Leaving comes liberation – and celebration
I HAVE never had a feeling more satisfying than silencing my routine 7.30am alarm for the next three months.
I served my sentence – it was time for liberation.
Thursday night saw Dungarvan's Leaving Cert population, and indeed most of the country's (except for those sitting final day exams), descend into a night of celebration. For the first time this year, we could go out and paint the town red without feeling guilty about all the study we could be doing.
There's nothing like looming exams to dampen a good night out. Any flicker of worry over incomplete homework that was destined to be rushed on Sunday evening had vanished for good. There were many things toasted but a school-less summer was definitely the top of everyone's list.
After my last exam on Thursday, I made a swift return home to slap on the fake tan and tame my mane before heading out with the rest of the hellraisers.
The sun stayed loyal and remained beaming all evening to aid our celebrations. I have many friends who have been finished for almost a week now, so the novelty of the first walk of freedom wasn't as potent for them.
I, on the other hand, was a newbie to the idea. With my concluding exam still fresh in my mind, the holiday jitters made accurately applying a straight line of eyeliner quite problematic.
The night was only made better by the fact that my friend Adam was celebrating his 18th birthday.
We weren't alone in toasting to our successes. There were a smattering of fifth year students who got in on the action too. While patting us on the back and praising us for crossing that final finish line, they cagily asked if the Leaving Cert was really as bad as they say. In a word, yes.
The night continued in a typically celebratory fashion with congratulations becoming more animated and actual talk about the exams becoming more infrequent.
Reserved swaying on the dance floor slowly transformed into shameless boogieing. All in all, it was a wonderful way to kick off what I hope will be a monumental summer. Beaches, barbecues and concerts are the only things on my holiday checklist. I'm also one of the fortunate ones who have a summer job to help shake off some of the unavoidable parental badgering about being a lazy teenage layabout. There's only so long you can scrounge tenners off Mammy and Daddy before tough love kicks in.
But I think we've all earned a period of blissful nothingness. I think it's time to milk this milestone for all it's worth. Anyone around tonight?

Azerspace/Africasat-1a is confirmed ''fit'' for launch on upcoming Ariane 5 mission
Ariane Flight VA212
The Azerspace/Africasat-1a satellite on Arianespace's 2013 year-opening Ariane 5 mission has undergone its fit-check as preparations move ahead for the February 7 dual-passenger flight from French Guiana.
Global C4ISR Sales Market Report 2017
During activity in the Spaceport's S1B clean room facility, this telecommunications relay platform was initially mated with the cone-shape adapter that will serve as its interface with the launcher's payload "stack." Following completion of this milestone, Azerspace/Africasat-1a was transferred to the larger S5 payload preparation building at the Spaceport, where it will be fueled.
Orbital Sciences Corporation designed and built Azerspace/Africasat-1a under contract to the Republic of Azerbaijan's Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies – which is the shareholder in the country's national satellite operator, Azercosmos.
The satellite is based on Orbital's STAR-2 platform, and will have a liftoff mass of approximately 3,250 kg., with a designed mission life of 15 years. It carries 36 active C- and Ku-band transponders, enabling the spacecraft to provide communications coverage for Azerbaijan, Central Asia, Europe and Africa from an orbital location of 46 deg. East.
Azerspace/Africasat-1a is to be orbited along with Amazonas 3 on the upcoming Ariane 5 flight – the first of six missions planned for Arianespace's heavy-lift workhorse in 2013.

You can collect your participant's pack that includes the jersey, the timing chip (Granfondo only) and the race number at the Louis Garneau Art gallery, located at 40, des Grands-Lacs Street, in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures.
The Granfondo Garneau-Quebecor is an annual event organized by Louis Garneau Sports for the past 9 years. The participants must ride a 118 km between Trois-Rivières and St -Augustin-de-Desmaures. For 2017, the organization is offering a new 22-kilometer course, the Minifondo, around St-Augustin-de-Desmaures.
This event is intended to promote physical activity and healthy lifestyle habits while raising funds for the Little Brothers organization. The event is open to both amateur cyclists and seasoned athletes alike. Last year, the Granfondo attracted over 2,500 cyclists.
The 9th edition will take place on Sunday August 13, 2017. Riders will take the start at the Alphonse-Desjardins sports center in Trois-Rivières starting 9:00 am and will arrive at the Louis Garneau Sports factory in Saint -Augustin-de-Desmaures in the afternoon. Several pelotons will be formed according to riders' average speeds.
Participants of the Minifondo will set off from St-Augustin-de-Desmaures at 8:30 am. They will then take a break before heading back to the Louis Garneau Sports factory via St-Augustin-de-Desmaures' 3e Rang. They will be back just in time to enjoy a good meal and watch the Granfondo riders cross the finish line.
Since its creation in 2009by Louis Garneau, the Granfondo has been very involved in the community to support the Little Brothers organization. In eight years, over $460,000 have been donated to this organization.
About the cause:
In Quebec, there are more than 600,000 people over 75 years of age. 1 out of 2 lives below the threshold of poverty, and 1 out of 3 lives alone. This represents more than half the people aged over 85. After living a full life, these people find themselves all alone, without family, weakened by age, with no one to talk to or to share their life with. They are vulnerable to the losses that have crossed their path, like the loss of a spouse, close ones, of their family, or even moving to a CHSLD. Even aged, our seniors need social contacts, presence and love in their isolated lives. The promise of Little Brothers is to accompany the Old Friends, who were given this name out of affection and respect, whatever their condition and until the end of their lives. Present in 11 regions in the province of Quebec, 15 Little Brothers teams, supported by over 1,500 volunteers and thanks to the generosity of donors, can promise more than 1,200 Old Friends that they will NEVER AGAIN be alone by offering them a forever family.

- Saturday: 10:00 am to 5:00 pm
- Sunday: Noon to 5:00 pm
For the Granfondo, the average speed varies widely since we have cyclists of all levels. The morning of the event, several pelotons are formed according to the speed groups specified by the participants during registration: 20-22 km/h, 22-24 km/h, 24-26 km/h, 26-28 km/h, 28-30 km/h, 30-35 km/h, 35-40 km/h and over 40 km/h. You must choose a speed group when you register but there is no problem if you decide to take the start in a different group on the morning of the event if you have reassessed your capacities. It is not necessary to notify the organization. We ask that participants finish the course in a maximum time of 6 hours.
As for the Minifondo, it is a ride that comprises one or two pelotons at an average speed of 20 km/h. The ride will take a break after 15 kilometers at the Neuville municipal garage.

What about Hate?
Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
- Ephesians 4:31-32
"You shall not murder." If ever there was one of the Ten Commandments that was ignored, it was this one. This commandment forbids the taking of another human life for no justifiable reason. Yet we live in a violent world. Our culture is awash in violence and killing. Two million people a year become violent crime statistics in the United States.
You might be feeling okay about yourself because at least, to your knowledge, you have never murdered anyone. But Jesus took this command a step further in the Sermon on the Mount:
"You have heard that our ancestors were told, 'You must not murder. If you commit murder, you are subject to judgment.' But I say, if you are even angry with someone, you are subject to judgment! If you call someone an idiot, you are in danger of being brought before the court. And if you curse someone, you are in danger of the fires of hell." (Matthew 5:21–22)
Jesus was talking about a person who has anger and hatred toward another person. He was saying, "I am not just telling you it is wrong to murder; I am saying it is wrong to hate."
Is there anyone you hate? If a certain person were to walk into a room where you happened to be, would your blood pressure go up? Honestly, do you wish that person were dead? Then you need to repent because that is a sin.
Sometimes we will say of someone, "I would never kill them." But we will assassinate their character. The Bible tells us, "Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior" (Ephesians 4:31).
We as believers are not to hate. Rather, we are to love our enemies.

The major art event this year is the May 16 opening of the Modern Wing of the Art Institute of Chicago. Other venues have clustered big exhibitions around it, and the Institute itself will, of course, be additionally transformed by new installations of galleries in earlier parts of the museum. Apart from that, it is business as usual, which here proves a good proposition regarding kinds of work, artists and historical periods.

The Orlando Sentinel, September 29, 2010
Two doctors are under arrest and medical clinics in Sanford and Orange City have been shuttered as part of a five-year investigation into improper prescriptions for pain drugs.
Ten patients also face charges.
All are accused of conspiracy to traffic in opiates.
Agents arrested Dr. Ralph Chambers Jr., 61, and Dr. Neil Stringer, 51, on charges they were operating pill mills where virtually unlimited amounts of prescription narcotics were dispensed to anyone who walked through the doors, Volusia County Sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said.
Stringer was identified by Davidson as an office manager and counselor for the two clinics operated by Chambers. Chambers also faces a charge of Medicaid fraud, he said.

Can ethics be taught? This is an old issue and many people doubt if business ethics courses are of any value. After all the ability to deal with moral issues is developed at very early ages. This is so according to the research carried on by Harvard psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg who identifies different stages of moral development from childhood years. Anyway there is evidence that ethics can be learned in adult age. This means that individuals can become more aware about the ethical aspects of many situations that arise in corporate life. Which doesn't necessarily mean that individuals or corporations are more ethically concerned as a consequence of business ethics courses. But in any case it seems that those courses have had a discernible effect on the organizational culture and on the ethical codes of corporations. Which it is not to say that their ethical behavior has dramatically improved.

The enriched uranium would then be sent to France, converted into fuel rods, and sent back to Iran to power a nuclear reactor. The Iranian president's office issued a statement reported by the semi-official Fars news agency revealing that Ahmadinejad spoke about Brazil's offer of mediation during a conversation with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez on May 4. "In a telephone conversation with his Venezuelan counterpart, Ahmadinejad agreed in principle to Brazil's mediation over the nuclear fuel deal," Fars reported.
AFP reported that Brazil and Turkey, two temporary members of the 15-strong UN Security Council, have consistently defended Iran's nuclear fuel program, which the West suspects is cover for a nuclear weapons drive.
Iran has recently begun enriching uranium fuel to a 20-percent level of U-235 required for a reactor in Tehran that is used to make medical isotopes. Though the United States and its allies have accused Iran of secretly trying to develop nuclear weapons, weapons-grade uranium is usually enriched to about 90 percent U-235.
A Reuters news report of May 5 said that the United States is lobbying UN Security Council members to back a fourth round of international sanctions on Iran in the coming weeks and to press it into curbing uranium enrichment.
Reuters also cited a speech made by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to the 2010 Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) at the United Nations on May 3, in which Clinton charged that Iran's nuclear ambitions put the world at risk and called on nations to rally around U.S. efforts to finally hold the Islamic Republic to account.
During the weekend prior to the opening of the UN conference, AP reported, Clinton suggested that Ahmadinejad was coming to New York "to divert attention and confuse the issue," and promised: "We're not going to permit Iran to try to change the story from their failure to comply [with the NPT]."
Ahmadinejad told the Middle East-based Al Jazeera news network on May 4 that he and President Obama would have to refrain from "acting too hastily" if the two sides are to reach agreement on the stalled plans regarding Iran's nuclear enrichment program. "For example, the resolution presented to the IAEA [International Atomic Energy Agency] against Iran in the presence of Mr. Obama was a very negative, hasty action that had very negative repercussions in Iran," he said.
Ahmadinejad referred to to a November 2009 resolution adopted by the the IAEA that criticized Iran for defying a UN Security Council ban on nuclear enrichment.
The continuing threat of sanctions exerted on Iran from Western powers through the UN is undoubtedly viewed by Iranians as a violation of their national sovereignty, but it is more than that. By being a party to the Nuclear Nonproliferation treaty (NPT), the United States has surrendered part of its own sovereignty, as well.
Furthermore, U.S. interference into the internal affairs of other nations has dragged us into two undeclared wars in the Middle East, both being fought under the authority of the UN, not by a congressional declaration of war, as our Constitution requires. Again, this represents more ceding of sovereignty to the UN.
Will Iran become the location of Middle Eastern war number three? Some knowledgeable officials, including Texas congressman Ron Paul, think so. In a speech before the House of Representatives on April 22, Rep. Paul (R-Texas) voiced opposition to H.R. 2194, the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability and Divestment Act, saying that "this entire push for war on Iran ... is disguised."
For our report and commentary on Rep. Paul's speech, please read: "Rep. Ron Paul Opposes Iran Sanctions."

The Unknown
For we are the broken ones
The ones who trudge along on this lonely path we pave for ourselves
The silent ones who question their very existence
The ones who are encompassed by darkness all the time
We pity it all, we hate it all, we fear it all
The storm that leads us into the battle we fight within ourselves
rages and burns
We're like fire and ice all at once
But who are we
And why are we here
As we stop to consider it we find the truth
There is always light where there is darkness
And not all battles are won but they are not all lost ...

About Orsay
Designed by partner Jean Denoyer, Orsay strikes that difficult balance of sophisticated-chic in a warm convivial atmosphere. Dark mahogany raised paneled walls meet Art Nouveau styled arches in a deep, creamy butter color. The floor is a work of art, Italian mosaic tiles in warm tones of precious metals hand laid in a beautiful fan pattern that floats in waves across the expanse of floor. Banquettes with high wood backs topped with frosted glass panels provide privacy if wanted, and the low, soft lighting emanates from Art Nouveau period chandeliers that Denoyer had custom designed. A 20-foot long zinc-topped wood bar shipped in one piece from France, and French doors that spill onto the sidewalk terrace, completing the feeling that you are in the 9th arrondisement in Paris. This sophisticated and elegant Parisian-style brasserie marries modern French cuisine and classic brasserie fare. Orsay's award-winning wine list includes all 300 predominantly French and American varietals.

Orsay Ratings and Reviews
Loved dining at Orsay for brunch. Was spending a special weekend in Manhattan with a friend and researched the restaurant on line. Wanted to be on the Upper Eastside on Sunday morning, and we couldn't have been happier. Great Eggs Benedict and wonderful selection of food, professional polite service, fantastic ambience. Worth going - all the way from Seattle.
Love Orsay. Feels like Paris in NYC or as close as you can get. Fabulous French Classics like Escargot, Frisee Lardon, Steak Frites, Moules, but wonderul Oysters, Salmon and the best Daily specials. Love the staff. Highly recommend. Upper Eastside neighborhood gem.
I love Orsay as it always feel special to dine there. This time I enjoyed the salmon tartare Japonais and it was delicious. Their famous cheese souffle on the other hand seemed a bit over done and a bit dry inside and the outside was quite leathery and unappetizing to me. I am sure this was just an oversight and I will order it again sometime again I'm sure. I highly reccommend this restaurant for its food and excellent service.
i cannot give this restaurant enough accolades. I love it. come for any and every event. They care from the moment they find you a seat to the moment you leave the restaurant. The food is fabulous and the wine list great. Everything is tops!!
This restaurant has delicious, traditional French cuisine, which is served by a good-natured, attentive, but not servile staff with great efficiency. It's my favorite of upper east side restaurants and is also very good for private events.
usually come here for the steak. they didn't get either temperatures right the first time (both undercooked) and when we sent them back they both came back way over cooked and burnt on the outside. not the friendliest and very skimpy with their butter to bread ratio.
disappointed regular customer. please listen to the specifics of the order. we told them at least 3 times how we each wanted our steak cooked.
Orsay is a neighborhood favorite , reliably good food, & charming ambiance. A French bistro that isn't too too fancy, but a good place to take out of town guests or to meet friends or just for the two of us. Weather permitting we enjoy eating outside. The service is always attentive. We love Orsay!
Another excellent meal at Orsay. We love the steak tartare there, and it was great again as was the wonderful rose wine! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. We sat outside on a FABULOUS, SUNNY late summer day, one of the best 10 of the year!!! We obviously didn't rush out!!!
Note to Open Table: we have been making reservations through your service for years and LOVE it; never had an issue. We received a confirmation for this reservation as we always do. The hostess at Orsay said they did not have our reservation but, of course. accommodated us immedidately when I showed the confirmation on my phone. This has never happened to us before, and we don't believe this is your problem but the restaurant's. However, we wanted you to know. Thank you.

The way Eddie speaks and holds his mouth reminds me of Josh Grobin! :lol

Well, as much as I didn't care for Reynold early on, it was nice to see him go out smiling and gracious. He totally looked excited on the jury too. He's like a big doofus kid in a Survivor candy store. :lol
Oh, Andrea, you totally overplayed that. You pushed too hard to get Brenda voted out, and then misread the way the wind was blowing and didn't play the HII that Eric so stupidly handed to you. I did love the "What!!?" she shouted out at TC when Jeff was reading the votes. That was such a fun and genuine reaction.
Cochran, you are in charge indeed. I still can't stand Sherri's smug face. She acts like she's played a masterful game when in fact she's just the least threatening player from the fans left, in every which way: physical, social and strategic. Sherri, you are a goat.
I can NOT believe Eddie voluntarily opted out of the immunity challenge 5 seconds in for a shared plate of donuts and a sip of milk. :ohno
Whoops...how could I forget to mention that fabulous Snidely Whiplash 'stache that Reynold was sporting at the second TC? I just about fell off my chair laughing.
And one last edit: God God Malcolm cleans up well. Wow.
I can hardly wait for next week.
I thought Eddie jumping down so soon was pretty stupid too, knowing that he was one of the top targets for the vote out, however he did say after the fact that he couldn't have stayed up for very long anyway. I can't see giving up only a few minutes in though, and had he stayed on longer he may have gotten better food. But Eddie has shown to not be the sharpest tool in the shed. I've already mentioned this but Malcolm on the jury :lovestruc. His facial expressions and reactions to the goings-on were pretty good too.
Didn't Eddie comment (somewhere) that he wouldn't have lasted the first hour so he might as well leave for the donuts?

This palette is awesome. I was super lucky to have received it for free from a friend. Still, I would say it is worth the hefty price tag. I took this and Urban Decay's Naked 1 on vacation. I almost always used this palette and only needed to use shades from the Naked one time. This is a great neutral palette, but it still has pizazz. I really love the champagne/soft gold color. At first I was concerned that the shades might be too shimmery, but they aren't.
pros: good pigmentation, buttery soft shades, nice color selection within the palette
cons: the price, the white shade is too stark for my taste, and the packaging could be better

Bandits notebook: Tucker makes surprise visit
Saturday's Buffalo Bandits game was in part designed to honor Tucker Williams, the 8-year-old son of forward Shawn Williams. It certainly did that. The night supplied financial and moral support for the family in a number of ways.
The evening even had a surprise guest: Tucker himself.
"It was exciting, obviously," Shawn Williams said. "He actually wasn't supposed to be here. The last round of chemo was on Thursday. The numbers were a little low, and we were a little upset. We didn't want to miss any treatment. Then it popped into my head that he could come out for the game.
"Everything turns out for a reason, and he had a ball. It was awesome."
At one point in the second half, Tucker was introduced over the public address system, and he was shown on the Jumbotron with his family and his friends.
Tucker needed only a few moments before happily reacting to the ovation.
"He was a little shy at first, and then he said, 'I'll take it,'" Shawn Williams said.
"We definitely would have liked to pull one out for him," Jay Thorimbert said. "The reaction for him when they showed him on the scoreboard was one of the loudest I've ever heard here."
While the Bandits were disappointed with Saturday's outcome, the Calgary Roughnecks were downright thrilled. It's not easy to win back-to-back road games in the National Lacrosse League, and that's exactly what the Roughnecks did in their visits to Philadelphia and Buffalo.
The way Calgary won Saturday's game here – scoring six straight goals in the final quarter – was particularly gratifying for coach Curt Malawsky.
"You're never out of it in the NLL. That's what's exciting for our fans and that's what makes this league unique," he said. "You can be down by five or six and as long as you stick to the program, and you're resilient, good things can happen."
A topic of conversation at the Bandits' morning shootaround on Saturday was an odd one: Was the Rochester Knighthawks' win over the Minnesota Swarm on Friday night good news or bad news for the Bandits?
It could be considered both.
Rochester picked up a game on Buffalo in the NLL East standings with its dramatic overtime victory over Minnesota. The Knighthawks trailed, 13-10, with 3:40 left. Yet the Rochester win guaranteed Buffalo a berth in the postseason. Since the Bandits missed the playoffs in 2013, that's a more than welcome development.
"That is our first goal, to get into the playoffs," coach Troy Cordingley said. "Our second goal is to get a home playoff game. We got some help" Friday night.
The Bandits fell short of that second goal with the loss to Calgary. Now the major goal on Buffalo's agenda is to stop the team's current losing streak, which stretched to four.
Bandits fans certainly remember the team's six-game losing streak in 2013 that was so costly. Cordingley wasn't around for that, and he's not using it as a motivational tool this time.
"We turn the page on it. Last year was last year," the coach said. "This league, of all leagues, the parity is unbelievable. We went into Minnesota, the last-place team in the East, and they beat us in overtime. We went into Vancouver, the last place team in the West, and lost. We're lucky we got some wins early so we had a bit of a cushion."
Rochester's win on Saturday, combined with Buffalo's loss, moved the Knighthawks 2½ games up on the Bandits.
Andrew Watt was activated before the game. He had been sidelined with a shoulder injury. David Brock went on injured reserve.

Marcellino's Legislation To Outlaw 'live -shot' Internet Hunting Passes Senate
Senator Carl L. Marcellino (R- Syosset) today announced that his legeslation to prohibit the practice of 'hunting by remote control' via the Internet (S.2822A) has passed the Senate.
"Not only does this activity pose potential safety problems, but hunting via the Internet takes the honor and the sport out of hunting and turns it into the equivalent of an online video game. New York State cannot allow this behavior to occur and this bill would prohibit the creation of such web sites and shooting facilities," said Senator Marcellino.
This bill is in response to www.Live-Shot.com, a Texas based web site, which allows users to hunt and target shoot with live ammunition over the Internet. The legislation would prohibit the creation, maintenance or utilization of any web site or hunting gallery from any location within this State for purposes of the on-line shooting of targets or animals.
The National Rifle Association (NRA) and the ASPCA have publicly stated their support for a ban on Internet hunting and a number of State legislatures throughout the country are considering enacting similar legislation.
