To increase the efficiency of the AutoAlliance Mustang plant in Flat Rock, Mich., Ford Motor Co. will drop one shift and 900 workers in July, according to Ford spokeswoman Marcey Evans. Most of the workers that will be cut will have the chance to move to a different plant. Evans said in the next few months, there will be talks with employees about the opportunities.
She said however, that it is still too early to state how many will stay. The plant, which employs almost 2,300 and is jointly owned with Mazda Motor Corp., also produces the Mazda6 sedan.
The Flat Rock factory had a significant amount of downtime last year. She indicated that by reducing the shift and increasing the line speed, production is increased in a "much more stable pattern."
Evans said that some of the workers who stand to lose their jobs have the choice to transfer to at least two plants. Recently, Ford had announced that it will hire 1,200 workers to build the new Ford Explorer SUV at its Chicago plant.
Meanwhile, Ford's Michigan Assembly plant in Wayne, Mich., will be bringing in transferred workers to help in the production of the 2012 Ford Focus. In an interview with Reuters, Evans said that workers who are not offered jobs will be offered buyouts under the terms of Ford's contract with the UAW.
In 2009, the Mustang plant had produced 102,000 vehicles. Ford predicts that the Flat Rock plant will have more output this year. However, this forecast comes after Mustang sales dropped 27% last year, while Mazda6 sales fell 34%.
For the past eight months, the Mustang's sales have failed to surpass that of main competitor, the Chevrolet Camaro. With 12 months of sales, Ford's muscle car sold only 66,623 units; while the new Camaro, which debuted only last March, finished the year with just 4,975 units behind.

Winter Sailing
Because it gets dark so early, I decided to head out Saturday morning. The weather forecast for Saturday held steady all week and I felt I could trust it. It predicted steady 10 mph winds out of the northeast. The tide book called for slack tide at 9 am.
Given the tide and the direction of the wind, I settled on James Island as good target. This time of year the dock is gone, but the west side of the island would be protected from the wind. I figured I could drop anchor and do a stern tie to the pilings.
At the last minute, Friday night, my buddy Andy decided to join me. Saturday went perfectly to plan. We saw porpoises and black mouth salmon jumping. The wind and currents did exactly as expected and we had a beautiful, quick sail over to James.When we got there, I was really thankful for Andy's help as stern ties are always trickier than you think they'll be. The currents make a whirlpool right by the pilings. In the future, I'm going to think twice about this anchorage. We drug anchor slightly that night. The bottom drops off very quickly and as near as I can tell, is made of small pieces of shale. Very poor holding.
Once anchored though, we took a great hike on the island. Park Services has been busy installing additional outhouses and a new trail. A previously unexplored trail led us to a great lookout where we found some sort of fossilized shellfish (oyster?) on a rock.
We passed a fun night playing guitars and entertaining the baby. My propane furnace had no problems keeping the entire boat toasty in 19 degree (Farenheight) weather. To be honest, I was feeling pleasantly trepidatious about the trip, as I had never sailed in weather this cold. It felt vindicating that a man who grew up around boats trusted my ability and equipment enough to bring his toddler along. She was an angel, and has spent plenty of time on boats in her short life.The weather on Sunday morning was calm, cold, and sunny. We had a beautiful morning motoring back.
Sitting at the dock now, I feel so relaxed. Heading out into the islands is like taking a big gasp of breath before diving back down into murk. During the week I feel like I am holding my breath, doing what I have to do, until I can make it back out on the boat. The schedule, the work, the press of people is invigorating but it all saps my focus and balance. It makes me moody and emotional if I spend too long away from being immersed in nature. Being out in the islands, just for one night, brings me back into balance.

Pep Guardiola has claimed that Leroy Sane is no longer "scared" of playing for Manchester City and is now fully integrated into the side.
The 21-year-old made a £37m switch from Schalke 04 to the Etihad Stadium last summer for his first taste of football outside of his native Germany.
Guardiola pinpoints the 2-1 win over Arsenal shortly before Christmas as the moment Sane truly arrived at City, having scored three and registered three assists in his six outings since then - including a key role in Raheem Sterling's opener against Bournemouth on Monday.
"The people say in the winter transfer window one guy arrived - Gabriel Jesus," the former Barcelona boss told reporters. "I think two arrived. Leroy arrived a little bit scared. But, since the game against Arsenal, I think he made a click.
"He showed us a lot of things. He is so fast, his intensity helps us a lot and he helps us defensively, too. And he's only 21 years old. I'm so happy for Manchester City, who will have a good player for the next few years."
Sane has averaged more successful dribbles for City this season than any other player, while also ranking highly for ball recoveries and tackles won.

PP-5: Fladung
Development of an early flowering system for poplar breeding and biosafety research
This project aims to generate a more efficient and reliable flowering in poplar. Early flowering would be very valuable to forest tree breeding and biosafety research on genetic containment. Several approaches will be tested using gene stacking of FTi and flower meristem/organ identity genes. Early flowering and growth performance of the different transgenic lines, as well as gene expression of selected poplar FTi and meristem/organ identity genes will be evaluated.

Gardening: Ants serve good purposes, but not inside
Sat., Nov. 30, 2013
Our daughter and son-in-law recently purchased their first home in Round Rock, Texas.
A 3-year-old, two-story with a nice big yard with sort of a lawn, one tree and a few scraggly plants. Oh yes, and fire ants.
The house had been empty for a year or so before they bought it and probably hadn't had much maintenance in that time. Consequently, the ants moved into the yard and the house. As the kids began working in the yard and cleaning up the house they quickly discovered that fire ants can bite and it hurts.
Unfortunately Mom, the garden guru, has never dealt with fire ants so I didn't have a clue what to tell her about getting rid of them except just what I tell all of you: Contact your local Master Gardener office. But it did get me thinking about ants here in the Inland Northwest.
There are at least 12 species of ants common to the Northwest. Some are native while others hitchhiked their way here from other places. All are social insects that build nests of a few hundred to a few thousand workers, males and a queen. Some colonies may have several queens. The sole purpose of the males is to mate with a queen during the queen's nuptial flight. Some queens can live upward of five years.
While ants do have their beneficial attributes, they are considered a nuisance pest in and around homes and gardens.
On the beneficial side they eat a wide variety of seeds, dead and live insects and other arthropods in and around the garden. They get into the most trouble when they find their way into our houses and begin to snack on food in our kitchens. While ants are omnivores, some prefer sweet stuff like sugar, syrup, honey and anything that contains them, while others go after protein sources like meat, peanut butter, dairy products and dead insects.
The best way to control ants is not to let them get into the house in the first place. Seal and caulk cracks in foundations, siding, door and window frames and entry points for wires and pipes. Ants often build nests in wall spaces or in the ground near foundations and then go in search of food. Clear mulch away from foundations to remove nesting spots and trim back shrubs from exterior walls so they can't climb onto the house. If you have a big problem it may be necessary to call in a structural pest professional to look for colonies that have set up shop in decaying wood.
Ant baits containing boric acid are the most effective way to control ants over the long term in the house. The ants pick up the bait and transport it back to the nest which kills the rest of the colony over several weeks. There are also a number of ant control sprays available to the homeowner. Follow the label directions. Serious problems call for bringing in the professional pest control specialists.

Guidance Implementation Aqiqah
Aqiqah is one of the things that are prescribed in islam. Propositions which assert this, among other things, is the Hadith of the Prophet Muhammad, "every child tertuntut with ' his ' Aqiqah?. There are other Ahaadeeth which States, "the boy (' Aqiqah him with two goats) are girls (' Aqiqah) with 1 goats '?. The legal status of ' Aqiqah is sunnah. It is in accordance with the views of the majority of scholars, such as Imam Al-Shaafa'i, Ahmad and Imam Malik, based on the evidence above. Paraulama that does not agree with the saying, mandatory by stating that if ' Aqiqah is mandatory, then the obligation becomes a very known by religion. And if ' Aqiqah is mandatory, then the
Some scholars such as Imam Hasan Al-Basri, also Imam Laits, argued that the law of ' Aqiqah is mandatory. This opinion is based on one of the above Hadith, "Kullu ghulamin murtahanun aqiqatihi ' bi ' means (every child tertuntut with ' Aqiqah him), they argued that this Hadith shows evidence of ' Aqiqah wajibnya and interpret this Hadith that a child stuck his intercession for his parents until he was ' Aqiqah-i. Some of the scholars who deny the Adajuga disyariatkannya ' Aqiqah, but this opinion is not based at all. Thus, the opinion of the majority of scholars is preferable to be accepted because the evidence if possible, that the ' Aqiqah is sunnah.
For a father who is capable should revive this sunnah until he gets a reward. With this jurisprudence, he or she can participate in spreading love in the community by inviting the neighbors in walimah ' Aqiqah.
On when ' Aqiqah is implemented, the Prophet said, "a child is stuck until he ' Aqiqah-i, (i.e.) killed on the seventh day of his birth and given a name at that time '?. This hadeeth explains to us that ' Aqiqah get kesunnahan if killed on the seventh day. Sayyidah Aisha ra and Imam Ahmad argued that ' Aqiqah could be slain on the seventh day, or the fourteenth day or day of the twenty one. Imam Malik argues that doomed ' Aqiqah on the seventh day merely sunnah, if ' Aqiqah was killed on the fourth day, the eighth or tenth or or afterwards then it is allowed.
According to the author's efficient, if a father can afford to slaughter ' Aqiqah on the seventh day, then he should kill it on this day. However, if he is not able to on this day, then it is permissible for him to kill it at any time. ' Aqiqah boys are different from girls ' Aqiqah. It is the opinion of the majority of scholars, according to the Hadith which we convey above. Imam Malik argues that ' Aqiqah boys equals ' Aqiqah girls, i.e. equally 1 goats. This opinion is based that the Prophet to ' Aqiqah-i Sayyidina Hasan with 1 goats, and Sayyidina Husein ' "two is the grandson he saw '" with 1 goats.
We can conclude that if someone is capable to kill 2 goats for ' Aqiqah her son, then he should do it, but if it is not capable then 1 goats for ' Aqiqah also allowed her son and gets a reward. And Allah knows Best.
Question might be, why did the Islamic religion distinguish between ' Aqiqah boys and girls, then we can answer, that a muslim, he surrender himself entirely on the orders of Allah swt, though he did not know the wisdom behind the command will, since human reason is limited. Perhaps also we can take the considerations behind that is to show the advantages of a man in terms of physical strength, as well as in terms of its leadership (qawwamah) in a household. And Allah knows Best

This friend used to work in the restaurant industry for years and continues to dine out regularly -- has excellent taste and price is (almost) no object. I'm in charge of giving him 7 or so must-try dinner places. He'll have a car, so doesn't have to be in Boston proper, although he will be staying at the Liberty and wants to stay in the general Boston-Cambridge vicinity but experience a variety of things. Here are my "top 7":
1. Bondir
2. Bergamot
3. Coppa
4. Craigie on Main
5. Prezza (or Pomodoro; I cannot decide)
6. Island Creek Oysters
7. Tico
8. Lala Rokh
He'll eat almost anything, very adventurous, high standards. I was also thinking about the reopened Locke Ober, though I have yet to go back. Or Menton, though I think the price point is a tad too high as we'll be dining out most nights. Thoughts?

Although the fruit trees were a bit pricey, we like to support local businesses. To our dismay, EN does not guarantee their trees. Even the local mass merchandisers guarantee their trees for the first year.
One of the trees we bought from EN did not seem to be healthy from the time they planted it in our yard and it didn't survive; less than a year later, it is dead!. When we tried to resolve the issue, they were not even sympathetic, nor were they interested in coming to a compromise.
The person we spoke to seemed to be very defensive and refused to consider the possibility that something other than 'mother nature' caused the tree to die.
Let the buyer beware...EN can only be as good as the trees they sell.

In an interview with The Guardian, director Guillermo del Toro stated that it wasn't his intention to "reinvent" the gothic romance. He rather planned on bringing modern audiences closer to those stories abundant with supernatural occurrences, repressed eroticism and/or shocking psychological revelations. His Crimson Peak is indeed a very much by-the-book effort, presenting everything I've come to expect from the genre. And while Del Toro provides us with intriguing images and a thrilling final act, he mostly fails to establish strong lead characters and truly frightening sensations.
Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska) falls head-over-heels for young Sir Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston). After a rushed marriage, the handsome baronet moves his new wife to live in his run-down family estate somewhere in the middle of nowhere. But Edith does not feel quite at home. For one, there's Thomas's controlling and grim sister Lady Lucille (Jessica Chastain), and then Edith is also haunted by a bunch of ghostly creatures who warn her of her new, apparently murderous, accommodation.
The Sharpe mansion is indeed the star of Del Toro's film. Gloomy hallways, strange noises, old-fashioned furniture, a 19th-century elevator, dying flies on cupboards and moths flying out of every dark corner, blood-red clay seeping through the floorboards like the earth is ready to swallow the place whole – this house stands out as an ominous character on its own. The set design, in addition to the lush costumes and moody lighting choices, creates an atmosphere of spine-chilling opulence and a sense of unhealthy nostalgia, of lingering in a past that is rooted in rotten deeds.
I immediately get this The Fall of the House of Usher (1960) vibe. There's a fair bit of Hitchcock's Rebecca (1940) in there as well, and an abandoned wheelchair alludes to some Jane Eyre-ish madness in the attic. The film opens up another Poe-esque dimension with its abrupt outbursts of relentless, graphic violence. For me personally, these moments harbour much more shock than any of the ghost appearances throughout the film. Mostly computer-generated, these abstract and out-of-this-world looking beings never quite manifest themselves as a tangible threat to my peace of mind, and, most often, they pop up and vanish in a rather predictable fashion. While this particular look and the tame, old-school scare tactics probably were exactly what the Mexican director aimed to achieve, I had a difficult time being spooked by these swirling CGI spectres.
What also puts a damper on my overall enjoyment of the film is that most of the main characters suffer from a lack of depth and intrigue. Edith, especially. She starts off as an independent spirit (no pun intended) and shrivels into a meek, helpless creature whose sole purpose seems to be to uncover the manor mystery for us. I find this unfortunate since Mia Wasikowska is one of those actresses with beautiful understatement and emotional strength, and a bit more substance for her to work with would have been nice. Same goes for Tom Hiddleston. He succeeds in portraying the charming, tall and handsome stranger, but has to present a rather unconvincing development of his character towards the end of the film. Charlie Hunnam, as Edith's secret admirer Dr. Alan McMichael, is the knight in shining armour, and that's all there is to him.
It is Jessica Chastain as Lady Lucille who really steals the show. When the narrative focus shifts to her character in the final act, the film picks up pace and reaches a dynamic, captivating conclusion, in which even Edith's self-esteem is ready to return. Chastain's portrayal is calm and repressed, yet freaked and discomforting. She makes the most of a plot twist that I saw coming from miles away, and is ready to be fully wrapped up in lunacy. Fortunately, she doesn't feel the need to resort to exaggerated fits of laughter or gaping eyes. Lucille's craziness is dry, wonderfully wicked and even self-empowering.
Del Toro's homage to gothic horror succeeds in evoking immersive visuals and paying tribute to genre classics of old. Unfortunately, a bunch of not-too-interesting core characters and a mostly too conventional approach to the material can occasionally result in a rather tedious viewing experience. And while the ghosts fail to stir my blood, Crimson Peak shines most in its finale in which it's the human characters that leap down their respective spiritual abysses.

If multiple error events are logged against the same SMTPAppender/Manager at the same time, one email will contain both error messages, while the second will be empty (no events).
The original SMTPAppender patch included synchronization against the CyclicBuffer to prevent such simultaneous access from multiple threads. This appears to have been lost in the merge/refactor. Patch (to follow shortly) re-introduces synchronization against the CyclicBuffer in the narrowest possible scope.

- Comments
- Work Log

- Activity
- Transitions
We can confirm that at least one log message appears in every email.
Maybe. I just checked out a clean copy of log4j2 trunk, and the patch applied cleanly for me.
FWIW: The version of SMTPManager on my machine is 1433252.
Could this be a sync issue between the EU and US version of the repo?
The patch was generated against SVN revision #1433251, and "svn update" found no additional changes beyond that. I compared the previously attached patch with a regenerated patch, and there were no differences. Not sure what you're seeing?
Your patch looks correct but it looks like Gary made some updates to the file and your patch won't apply. Can you please update to the latest source and regenerate the patch?
The only downside with that approach is that the message can contain CyclicBuffer.ring.length + 1 messages (i.e. one more than the configured buffer size). However, that's the approach I ended up settling on as well. Patch above.
I had already started making the changes for approach # 2 this morning but $work got in the way. I'm headed to the airport in a few hours and will be in a class the next two days so won't be very prompt with emails from 9-5 Pacific time. However, my approach to #2 sounds a little different as the triggering event is never added to the cyclic buffer but is instead passed to the writeContent method where it is written after the buffer. I suspect adding the event to the buffer as you describe will result in a race condition.
So, we came up with two possible approaches to solve this issue:
1. Make CyclicBuffer smarter, replacing .removeAll() with .removeTo(T item). This would allow SMTPManager to only remove events up to the triggering event, leaving anything appended after in the buffer. However, this has a couple issues:
a. Empty or nonsensical emails (not containing the target event) could still occur, if the CyclicBuffer is too small, and more events are written to the buffer between the .isFiltered call and the .append call. This is actually an issue with the current implementation as well.
b. Log4jLogEvent would need to (at a minimum) implement a .equals method, so we can actually find the target event in the CyclicBuffer. I'm not sure if .equals was omitted purposefully.
b. The .removeTo code would be a bit more complex than the current .removeAll implementation.
2. Don't append non-filtered items in the .isFiltered method; instead, wait and append them to the buffer just before the current .removeAll call. This would ensure that at least the triggering event is reported. However, this also has an issue: Currently, CyclicBuffer claims to be thread-safe, as all mutating methods are synchronized. As .add would be called just before .removeAll, the calling code in SMTPManager would need to instead hold a synchronization lock (similar to my previous bad patch for this issue). Alternatively, .removeAll() could become an atomic .removeAllAndInclude(T item), preserving the thread-safety of CyclicBuffer, at the cost of some reusability of the class (the method doesn't seem to make sense for general use cases).
I've done a proof of concept with #2, which only required changing a few lines in a couple files. I did not yet make an atomic .removeAllAndInclude, but could if this alternative is desired.
Yeah. The way to handle this is to only add messages that match the filter to the buffer.
Ralph is correct - the patch doesn't actually solve the problem. Sorry for the false start.
FYI, I removed the parameter from a few methods to make it more clear what was being synchronized on (the SMTPManager.buffer instance variable), versus synchronizing on the passed-in variable. I didn't catch that synchronization had been moved to the CyclicBuffer itself.
I'll do what I can to create a test app later. However, it's easy to describe the problem:
Thread 1: App sends log message #1
Thread 1: Log4J calls isFiltered(message #1) (appends to buffer)
Thread 2: App sends log message #2
Thread 2: Log4J calls isFiltered(message #2) (appends to buffer)
Thread 1: Log4J calls append(message #1) (clears buffer, delivers both messages)
Thread 2: Log4J calls append(message #2) (empty buffer, delivers no messages)
Any thoughts on a possible approach to preventing the above scenario?
It took me by surprise too when I first saw how the SMTPAppender worked, but I understand what it is trying to do. There isn't any danger of the isFilter method being called twice - that is only going to happen in the AppenderControl. Note that this will NOT capture events that have been filtered by a global Filter, Logger Filter or Appender-ref Filter as they will never make it this far. You would have to create a special global filter to capture the events if you really want to capture everything.
As for the patch, I'm not sure what it is accomplishing. The CyclicBuffer add and removeAll methods are synchronized so wrapping those calls in a synchronized block doesn't do anything useful. Removing buffer as a parameter from two methods and then having writeBuffer just reference the member variable also should accomplish nothing. So I'm not ready to apply this patch until I understand how it fixes the problem.
It would also be helpful to have a test that demonstrates the problem.
Ah... I see, I need to go back to filter school it seems. I see how filters play in the big picture now.
Reading https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/manual/filters.html I have this follow up.
No matter what happens with other filters in steps 1-4, the appender isFilter method will always be called? If yes, then all is well because the log event will be added.
It's re-creating the functionality from Log4J 1.x - previous (lower priority) log events are buffered, but only events above the filter theshold trigger an alert email (containing both the triggering event, and the previous X log events).
It does not sound right that if the log event is added to the manager not matter what is isFiltered returns.
If isFiltered returns true, then append is called and all is well.
If isFiltered return false, the log event should not make it to the manager.
Am I missing something here?
I realize that this is now a different issue than I originally wondered about...
But, if the event is filtered by .isFiltered, then .append is never called. Is there a better place to intercept all messages (only once)?
Well, yeah, I've read that much
I would have thought that the appender's append would add the event and that the manager would flush itself when the buffer reaches some threshold.
Instead adding the event during the isFiltered call fells like a hack because if you call isFiltered more than once for a given event, you'll get two log events in the buffer. The buffer itself could easily check for that condition of course, but then it would be carrying more complex semantics than a "cyclic buffer".
It is in the JavaDoc.
- Capture all events in CyclicBuffer
The question is likely for Ralph.
It seems wrong that SMTPAppender.isFiltered(LogEvent) adds the log event to the cyclic buffer.
Perhaps a touch of comments would help
BTW, this issue is not hypothetical - we experienced this twice today on a highly-threaded component of our software.
Re-introduce CyclicBuffer synchronization to prevent empty error emails.

Cerys Yemm: The pretty blonde victim of face-eating cannibal killer
THE first photo of the woman murdered by the monster cannibal killer in Wales has emerged.
Cerys Yemm, a shop worker at Next from Blackwood, south Wales, was charmed by murderer Matthew Williams – who was only released from jail two weeks ago – after she met him on a night out.
The 22-year-old was described as a fun-loving girl who had been at a Halloween party with friends just days before the gruesome attack.
She was a huge fan of TV series Vampire Diaries and that night she had dressed as a zombie with friends.
Cerys – who used the online nickname "Yummy Yemmy" – knew Williams through mutual friends.
"I feel sick to my stomach, it's horrific to think that one person can inflict some much brutality onto another"A friend
Pals told how Williams, 34, bought Cerys a drink then he invited her back to the Sirhowy Arms Hotel – which also acts as a homeless hostel – saying he would get her a cab home.
He is believed to have persuaded blonde Cerys to come up to his room – before starting his horrific attack where he ate half her face and an eyeball.
Argoed resident, Lyn Beasley, claimed: "He went Hannibal Lecter on the woman, he gouged her eyeballs out, ate them and ate and half her face. He had just been released from prison and was high on coke."
Jill Edwards, who lives near the scene, told the Daily Mirror: "This animal was eating this girl to death. He murdered her so police stopped him – good on them.
"Security said they told him no girls in his room and he didn't answer, when they opened his door he was eating her face."
Cerys was found dead at the scene with horrific injuries by police, who then fired a 50,000-volt Taser at Williams in the hotel room.
He died within minutes of being arrested.
Police were piecing together the last hours of Cerys's life after she met with Williams – who was only released from prison within the last month.
Cerys's heartbroken mum Paula, 49, was being comforted at her detached home in Oakdale near Blackwood. A police family liaison officer was at her home.
Sister Shannon said: "We just need to be left alone to grieve".
Shelly Davies, a friend of Cerys, said: "I just keep thinking of how frightening and painful it would have been for her
"I feel sick to my stomach, it's horrific to think that one person can inflict some much brutality onto another.
"I had bad dreams all night and I feel exhausted."
Police are continuing to investigate the double death at the hotel in the early hours of Thursday morning.
Officers have been carrying out forensic tests on a silver BMW believed to belong to Williams – nicknamed Fifi.
They are trying to work out whether he drove her back to the hostel.
Williams was described as "an infamous character" in his home town of Blackwood with a reputation for violence. He had been released after serving half of a five-year sentence for attacking a former girlfriend.
Meanwhile, relatives of Williams said they were "in complete shock". In a statement, his family said: "We are devastated by the death of an innocent young lady.
"Our thoughts and prayers at this time are with the victim her family and friends. Words cannot express our grief."
Last night Williams's ex-girfriend Emma Thomas, 38, said: "My heart goes out to that poor girl and her family. It's just awful."
The mum of two, who was still under police protection, added: "I can't believe it has happened. It is the police's fault because they could have protected that young girl."

Fernando Torres v Wayne Rooney
No comparison really. Rooney was superb, not just with the way he clinically tucked away his chance but also with his fluent team play and ferocious work ethic. Angry man or not, nobody can argue the striker isn't back to his best. Indispensable right now to Manchester United.
Torres, on the other hand, quite palpably isn't if you're going to judge him on form rather than the price tag. Desperately short of confidence, he managed to miss the ball completely when Didier Drogba crossed from the left. He was very fortunate indeed to stay on the pitch.
John Terry v Rio Ferdinand
What an enjoyable return for United's classy centre-half. You could be forgiven for thinking he'd never been away. Composed, well balanced and strong in the challenge, Ferdinand's calming presence next to Nemanja Vidic made an enormous difference.
Terry, in fairness, didn't do a lot wrong himself, other than to allow Rooney too much space for the goal. Apart from that, he was dominant in the air and coped fairly well with the sharp movement of Javier Hernandez. Of the two, though, it doesn't take a genius to guess who was happier at the end.
Frank Lampard v Michael Carrick
Chelsea's change of shape to accommodate Torres hasn't helped Lampard at all. As part of a two rather than three-man central midfield, he can't get forward nearly as much, which obviously stunts his goalscoring threat.
On that front, Carrick has never been much of a poacher but, when on song, he can pass the ball beautifully, as proved by his part in the goal - a lovely diagonal sweep to Ryan Giggs. In addition, he covered plenty of ground and rarely got exposed. You couldn't ask much more on such an important night.

Tell me I'm not BU (landlord related)(63 Posts)
I've been living in this house with my DP and two DC's under 5 for almost two years. It's a nice house but has a lot of problems.
1. The boiler is old (around 10 years) and the control knobs that control the heat of the water no longer work. The landlord has known about this for a year and a half and has done nothing about it.
2. The back window that's 3.5ft high and opens inwards doesn't lock. The handle doesn't go all the way down to lock so while it looks closed a big shove from the outside will push it in. Landlord said it's fine as we're an end of terrace house with two 20ft walls either side of us.
3. The plaster is coming off the walls due to damp. We painted the hallway as there were some marks and every time we used the roller the roller would pick up more plaster than paint. The same in the dining room. Nothing has been done.
4. The DC's bedroom had thick, green mould on the windowsill and walls. We contacted the landlord and he said it was our fault for not properly ventilating the place. DP did it himself by cleaning, resealing, putting in a new windowsill as the old one was literally rotting etc. Yesterday we discovered huge patches of black and green mould in the alcoves we use as wardrobes in our room and on our windowsill. I have asthma and two young children and he has refused to come out until the 8th to look at it as he has his children home from university (yet lives around the corner).
We can't move privately with or without an agency as we have no money (I'm on disability and DP is on JSA) and the council have told us since we're adequately housed it could take two years bidding on the list. My dad has urged me to go in with photographic evidence on Monday and explain that the house is unsafe to see what they say. I know Enviornmental Health can get involved but I'm scared we'll end up evicted as we have nowhere to go.
There are some things we are to blame for for example the gas fire in the lounge was turned off and deemed unsafe because DC2 had messed with the coals and we haven't replaced them yet (£40 for this particular fire) and the carpet on the stairs needs replacing when we can afford to/decide to leave as the stains are our dog's fault. I don't think IABU to be pissed off with our shitty landlord. We deal directly with him as it's a private tenancy and he won't bother to fix anything if it doesn't cost him less than a tenner. What makes it worse is that we're paying £550 a month to live here when other properties similar in the area are only £475-500 and they aren't directly opposite a busy pub where glasses get smashed into our front garden during arguments every weekend.
I'm off to the council Monday morning to show them the photos etc and get all my eggs in a basket but I'm livid that he's known about all of this for so long and just refuses to do it. I'd be a bit happier if he'd just lower the rent to cover the fact that he's a bit crap and we'd do most of the cheap repairs as DP is a dab hand a DIY but we know that's very unrealistic.
I appreciate if IABU and a bit stroppy but I needed a rant
I forgot to mention HB help cover the cost of the rent but we pay an extra £100 a month on top leaving us skint. We moved here as we had little choice a few years ago and are now bitterly regretting it. Moving again would mean changing schools as there are no council properties in this area, cost of a removal van etc...my head hurts.
Is the boiler safe? As it is his legal duty to make sure it is serviced properly.
Is your deposit money in an approved scheme? Because if its not you can claim 3x back that amount from the landlord through small claims.
Could you get a temporary loan for deposit on a new place until you get your bond back from the landlord?
We didn't have to pay a deposit which is why we had to move in as we had no other choice. He didn't ask for a bond or a deposit as he's a family friend.
Our credit rating is terrible so there's no loans we could get. I'm hoping the council have an answer as I've heard there's a bond scheme but I'm not sure how it works.
The boiler was serviced 10 months ago...three months after it should have been after lots of nagging and him saying he'd sort it, nobody turning up etc. I presume the boiler is safe but it's in need of another service soon.
As a priority as RyleDup mentioned, you must make sure the boiler is safe. Your LL is legally required to have gas and electrics checked annually and you have a right to see the certificate.
Also, check if he is a registered LL with the council. You can also get free legal advice from the Housing Dept.
Ask also which scheme your deposit is saved in.
Sorry x post!
YANBU, he's seriousky slacking in his duties.
Having spent most of my life in rented houses it doesn't sound to bad to be honest. The boiler has been serviced so is 'ok' until the next service is due. You'll have problems finding another landlord willing to take jsa, a dog and 2 young kids to be honest. I do feel for you though as the council aren't likely to want to know as you are being housed, so your kind of stuck. When pregnant with ds we had no hot water other than electric shower (boiler had been permently removed) and drains that we're so blocked sewage water was coming though the back door, mould was everwhere etc etc. Environmental health came round, agreed it was not suitable yet we still didn't get rehoused.
I just don't know what to do. I really don't want to move as we're very happy here, close to a good school, local amenities, town etc but at the same time I can no longer live like this, especially with the rent so high for such a debilitating property. Am I within my rights to ask him to consider the rent price or is there someone I could talk to who could evaluate what the rent should be in regards to what we're paying? DP could fix most of it himself (apart from the damp and mould) which would help LL out and we could actually afford to live here.
Like I said in the OP though I think I'm living in cuckoo land on that one. Am I?
Fairyegg feeling so disheartened by your post. How did you ever live like that? I'm going insane and it's not as bad as yours!
It's such a shame because as a LL myself I tend to avoid tenants in your financial situation as I've been stung too many times. Those tenants have ruined it for the likes of decent people like yourself.
Where do you live OP?
1. Boiler. According to Shelter's website your landlord is responsible for "Keeping in repair and proper working order, the water, gas, electricity and heating. So YANBU (although 10 years is not overly old for an otherwise well serviced boiler.
2. Window/security. This doesn't sound good, but I'm not sure if it's your landlord's responsibility. I would recommend contacting your local police station and asking if the community policing team or crime reduction team or whatever they are called will and someone out to take a look. They should be more than happy to do this.
3 & 4. Damp. Hard to say without knowing the cause. I assume it's environmental health that you are seeing at the council and they'll be best placed to advise. All properties can develop damp/mould although some are far more prone to it than others. For example, external walls with no cavity are very prone, especially behind wardrobes where air cannot circulate. Assuming there is nothing structurally wrong with the property you may find you can manage the mould inexpensively by yourself.
I do hope you get it all sorted. Sounds like a rather depressing place to live at the moment.
I live near Cardiff, SantasHoHoHo. A lot of landlords still dislike DSS tenants. While we've had issues with our rent it's always been paid in the same month just a week or two late, iyswim? Finding the extra £100 is awful some months!
I don't mind managing the mould myself NeverQuiteSure but I'm a bit put out to be paying £100 on top of HB to live like this. When DP finds a job we'd have to pay the full £550 again and it seems like a lot to live in a run down house that needs a lot of work.
How does one service the boiler? The times we've had inspections on it it's been a look at it, signed a piece of paper and off he's gone. Not more than a five minute job. The boiler isn't great as we're using a lot in gas but I assume that the knobs should at least work.
I was told the window was the landlord's issue as it's their responsibility to sort out windows, doors etc. Not sure though so will have to check.
I really don't want to get EH on to this as I know if he can't afford to sort it out within the time period he'd get whacked with a fine which would piss him off and I'm obviously very scared of eviction. I was hoping that if it was deemed unfit for living then the landlord may decide to lower the rent and we could put up with it, clean it ourselves etc. I'm really clutching at straws to deal.
It was tough op, we ended up moving around a lot but we were lucky in that we were both working and our los were younger so not at school yet. Even then it was hard to find half decent rental properties in our area, and by area I mean 20 mile radius. It really is shit. Just keep your eyes open for something else. Maybe even put a 'wanted' poster in a few shops. Get on all the ha, council etc waiting lists but don't expect to get anywhere. Unfortunately if you made yourselves intentionally homeless but moving out without anywhere to go, that would mean you won't get a house either. We had a housing officer from the council come out and talk to us. He was lovely and informative but I cried as he left as I knew we were stuck (low income, no despoit for mortgage). What we found worked well with landlords is agreeing if we wanted work done, such as a shower put in they would pay for it (bog standard, cheap range) and we would fit / do all the work ourselves. We did this for carpets, laminate, bathroom suite, tiling etc. landlord was happy as it improved his property at the fraction of the expense that it would have been for the labour amd we were happy as it made living there slightly more bearable! But then we were lucky to know lots of people, plumbers, builders, carpets fitters etc who helped us out for free.
Fairyegg that is the agreement with our landlord. Since DP is handy with DIY and has a lot of labour experience and contacts we've painted, laid down new laminate, fixed things like doors etc and the landlord would incur no costs. We intend to pay for the carpet and to fit it when we are able etc too. DP could fix the window, put the sink back on to the tiled wall, regrout the tiles, re-seal the bath etc but doesn't like doing it without the landlord's say so.
I'm going to keep bidding with the council list but I'm not expecting anything. I'm hoping if the council agree the house is in disrepair the landlord may give us a reduction on the rent, even if it's just £50 a month and we'd do everything we needed to. I'm just fed up of paying through the nose for what should be a top standard house for the price here and getting nothing but grief
Sounds awful and I really sympathise.
Just wondering though - when you say the controls for the heat of the water are no longer working do you mean the water is set at one temperature? I am sure I read that water temps for rented housing have to be below a certain temp for scalding risks. If it's very high then enviromental health may also be interested in this as well as the damp issues.
I would speak to the council.
And you could approach your LL about a rent reduction. Just explain that it's not financially working for you. There's no harm in asking.
Also, Shelter are very helpful with things like this so give them a call.
I've told a landlord before now that we were struggling to manage the rent and were thinking about moving out as we had noticed other similar rental properties were cheaper, and gave examples. He reduced it by £50 a month as we were good tenants and I guess its hassle for him getting new ones. However it's a gamble as he may just say fine, off you go then. Realistically can you get another rental property in the area you want that accept dss and pets? I hate to say it but I doubt it, and your landlord knows it.
And a boiler check does normally take about 5 mins, at least ours always have. As long as its safe and sn't leaking fumes etc they aren't worried about anything else. Contact your council and ask to speak to their housing officer, hat should be your first port of call.
The knob was set to the highest setting when it was stuck but then it broke as we tried to turn it and since it's no longer connected it could have gone to whatever setting. Within 20 seconds the water from the tap is very hot though and has to be immediately mixed with cool water for baths and washing up.
I'm thinking of speaking to the council first then speaking to LL. I'm getting the carpets professionally cleaned on Monday as a Christmas gift from my dad so while they'll be still be worn and slightly freyed they won't smell or have significant stains. The less I piss off my landlord at this point the better.
I was going to give Shelter a call too as I can't find the office local to me.
Just checked the Shelter website and it says the landlord is responsible for windows so he really needs to sort that out. I get anxiety attacks being here alone with the children at night in case someone breaks in. While it's unlikely they'll skip over a few gardens to get here it's not impossible.
What area outside Cardiff? I am in the same kind of area and my dm is a LL and I know a few others around this way that accept DSS.
The not paying rent on time will always be an issue though, 1 or 2 weeks late just isn't good enough - it will inevitably cause bad feeling if your LL is having to go short whilst he waits for you to pay your rent. Most people would be livid if their JSA or wages were 1 or 2 weeks late so the same courtesy should be applied to your landlord.
There's plenty of people this way that accept DSS etc so whilst you aren't keen to leave your area, you may have to consider a cheaper area to get a nicer house and hopefully save yourself some money each month in the process.
DragonMamma The landlord says he's happy as long as the rent is paid within the month but I know it isn't good. It's one of the reasons I'm so unhappy here because I hate being late on the rent and sometimes it really is unavoidable. I hate letting people down. Trying to save so it's there for the end of the month is difficult as we have no money leftover to save and pay it directly from DP's JSA on the nearest date it comes, iyswim. Something we need to get right.
I'm in Newport. Lots of places to rent but mostly tiny flats, council and agencies.
Where are you? The problem I have with moving privately is the bond & deposit. There's no way we can afford it.
Sorry if my advice offended icovetthee, it wasn't meant to. It was written from the perspective of 'this is how it is' not 'this is how it should be'
If there is something structural or that can be 'fixed' that is causing the mould then of course your landlord is responsible for doing something about it. It sounds like he's either tight, lazy or having financial problems himself. In all cases the only thing that will get through is being polite but persistent. Getting opinions from the police & council etc will hopefully show him you mean business. Also, bear in mind that he may not be so keen to evict you as you fear. You sound like good tenants and he's currently getting over the odds for a house that he would, by the sound if it, struggle to re-rent.
I really do hope it all works out for you.

Bhopal, Jun 25 (UNI) Madhya Pradesh Minister of State for Fisheries (Independent Charge) Moti Kashyap today rebuffed charges of accepting bribe of Rs 10 lakh from a fish contractor and said it was a ploy to defame him and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Reacting to newspaper reports, Mr Kashyap told reporters here that the allegation levelled against him was baseless and ill-intended.
''The reports published against me is baseless and politically motivated. I will lodge a defamation case against the fish contractor, who accused me of accepting bribe,'' he said Contractor Mohammad Soud, who had received contract for fishing in Halali dam, had lodged complaint to the Lokayukt that Mr Kashyap had demanded a bribe of Rs 10 lakh when he sought permission for inviting fishermen from outside the state for fishing.
The contractor claimed that he had already paid Rs five lakh as bribe to the minister's private secretary on November 13, 2007 and Mr Kashyap was demanding Rs five lakh more to give permission.
Mr Kashyap said he was ready to face any kind of probe in this regard but the inquiry should be impartial.
The Minister said, ''The fishermen from outside the state would not be allowed fishing, as the state is not grazing land for outsiders.'' He also denied the claim of the contractor that he already paid Rs 4.35 crore to the department for fishing in Halali dam for five years in 2005.
''In fact, the contractor had paid only Rs 1.95 crore in the past three years and the rest amount he would have to pay in the next two years,'' he said.
When pointed out that the Lokayukt himself was under the shadow of accepting bribery, Mr Kashyap said he would not comment on this issue.

The Federal Defender Program offers students the opportunity to get legal experience throughout the year. We have two programs: (1) a ten-week summer internship program; and (2) the extern program affiliated with the University of Georgia, Georgia State University and Emory University.
Summer Internship Program:
The Federal Defender Program offers non-funded positions for a ten-week period during the summer to law students. Representatives of the Federal Defender Program will conduct interviews at the Equal Justice Works Conference and Career Fair (late October, 2016) and the Public Interest Legal Career Fair at New York University (early February, 2017). For students not attending either job fair, applications will be accepted via email from September 1, 2016 to February 1, 2017 and can be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com. To be considered, applications must include a resume, writing sample and a cover letter. The Federal Defender Program will not be interviewing at the Georgia Public Sector Career Fair at Georgia State University in Atlanta. Interested applicants from Georgia law schools should apply via email.
There are two divisions within the Federal Defender Program, the Trial Unit and the Capital Habeas Unit. The Trial Unit does traditional criminal defense of indigent people charged with federal crimes. Students participating in this program will be assigned to one or two attorneys and likely will afford considerable courtroom observation as well as legal research and writing. Trial Unit interns will be expected to attend a weekly "Group Meeting" on Tuesdays, where attorneys brainstorm and discuss their cases. The Capital Habeas Unit represents indigent defendants sentenced to death in the state courts of Georgia. Students participating in this program will focus on investigation and legal research. Both the Trial Unit interns and the Capital Habeas Unit interns will have the opportunity to attend an in-house brown bag lecture series, featuring presentations by various attorneys in the office on topics relevant to federal and capital legal practice. Students can apply to either unit but will not be permitted to split time between the two.
The summer program will run from Tuesday, May 30, 2017 through Friday, August 4, 2017.
Extern Program:
The Federal Defender Program, in conjunction with the law school faculties of Emory, Georgia State and the University of Georgia, offers externships to students during the school year. The students are expected to work ten hours per week in exchange for credit. There is a mandatory writing component. The students, through their law schools, apply for a position with the Federal Defender Program by submitting a resume and cover letter to their school which the school then forwards to the FDP. Students who are selected for interviews will be contacted to arrange a time for the interview. The Federal Defender Program will notify the applicants who are accepted either through their school or directly.
Any additional questions regarding the Federal Defender Program's internship or externship programs may be directed to Jeff Ertel at firstname.lastname@example.com.

the Romans met the Picts,
Hadrian's Wall, Border of Scotland - June 1, 1999
From the time of Claudius, Rome slowly conquered the tribes inhabiting Britain. But when they reached the north and present day Scotland, they came face to face with the fierce and indomitable Picts. There were many skirmishes on record, and an entire legion which vanished with no record at all.
In AD 122 after Emperor Hadrian toured Britain, he ordered that they build a wall to keep out the barbarians to the north. It actually replaced one built further to the north, which was abandoned. For three hundred years it marked the northern boundary of the 'civilized' world. To this day it bear's the emperor's name.
Many people told us we'd be impressed by Hadrian's wall, and of course we were.
One of the things that was most impressive however, was the testament the wall's remains make to the power of destruction. To the right we see the wall as it would have been. At fifteen feet high it was comparable in height (though at 73 miles, not in length) to the Great Wall of China, still visible from space.
But today, wherever the wall is still visible it is only four or five feet at the highest.
Where did all that stone go?
It was chipped off and built into the churches, barns and homes by Saxons, Vikings and Normans. When Rome fell, the Dark Ages rolled over this land and many hands hungry for easy building material made off with what the Romans had made.
The tradition of wearing down the walls continues.
I overheard one bright English lad telling his brother "I want to find a stone to take home." His older brother responded by picking up a pebble from the path and throwing it at him, "here you go" he said. The younger brother replied "No, I mean one that was laid down, so I know it was put here by the Romans."
I stayed quiet, since I knew all the loose stones were already gone.
But we were thankful they let us climb on the walls at Housesteads Fort. Once again we were able to marvel at the technology those ancient Romans had mastered.
The wall system was a massive earthworks even by modern standards. It covered the entire distance across northern England, 73 modern miles (80 Roman miles). There were 80 'mile castles,' (one every mile) and sixteen forts such as the Housteads fort we visited. The mile castles had eight men manning them, but the forts were home to a legion, about a thousand Roman soldiers and commanders.
On the north side of the wall was a deep ditch, and on the south side were two dikes, between which ran a military road. Around each fort entire villages would grow as the local economy expanded to support the soldiers.
These walls were built during the pinnacle of Roman civilization. Here at the left you see the granary for the fort. It sported multiple rooms with raised floors for drying the grain.
And as always, it paid to be the top dog. Everybody lived in a barracks except for the commander, who lived in a villa. Kathleen is photographing just the hot room of the villa (notice the raised floor, it was just like ones we saw in Bath).
Servants would keep a fire going in the adjacent room and blow the hot air through a hole in the wall. It would circulate under the stone floor and rise up through the walls. This was standard technology for the Romans. Servants did the work machines do today.
The commander got his own private loo as well. (Remember how the Abbot had his own? Hmmmm). Wooden seats were built over the dark drains you see here. Water was directed through a small channel for the loo user to wash a sponge which served as Roman toilet paper. Next to this was one of the ancient worlds other innovations: a urinal.
So when Kathleen asked Henry when in time he'd like to go if he could, he answered 'The Roman Empire in about 200 AD. But only if I get to be a commander.'
Onward we go to Scotland, no longer home of the Picts, but the Celts.
OR, continue in England to Warwick Castle and Folk Festival, July 23-25,1999

According to Arry, because we need someone to shout "Oi, fucking liven up!" at underperforming players
A younger version of Rooney is exactly what we need, but a player who isn't as good as he was, and the 300k a week wages mean that this isn't going to happen.
Did anybody watch the U23 game? Any reports on who played well etc...
That's what Black Flamini is for.
You mean to tell me all the booing isnt enough to motivate players??
Quite the fucking debut.
That's me in a nutshell. Can't help but relate.
@Titou14 Best player in the league leaving to China. Well deserved after staying in the Bundesliga for so long and will get a nice wage boost there.
Ohhh shit Soriano I totally forgot about him, that's great news he deserves the payday after all the money he's helped me make over the years
Edit - You got me thinking I wonder how Alan's been doing in China.
Might still have more atmosphere than the emirates in some games!
It's kicking off on Twitter
I believe that's known in the bullshitting business as "yes".
It's a cheap response, but I was really hoping in his response he'd throw the league title in Carragher's face
How did he do that?!
Incredible... Saved the lives of 4 people in his 8 years as a footballer.
Fantastic! A true hero!
Without wanting to diminish Koné's actions or intentions in any way, it's impossible to swallow your tongue. (Unless you cut it out first I suppose but that's a bit weird.) And I get that from the highest possible authority- QI.
On reflection it was pretty unnecessary for me to point out this fact, but my bullshit detector is turned up to 11 atm. The world needs facts.
Was going through the tv channels when I seen this in the MLS... Lol looks so wierd
