Lowly Ronin 2: The Spray of Blood Trailer (1982)
29 October 1982 90 mins
Reprising his role from the popular TV series "Koya no Suronin" (The Lowly Ronin), Mifune Toshiro stars in this full-length, stand-alone made for TV movie. The wandering ronin is reminiscent of his most famous role as the samurai without a name in Kurosawa's "Yojimbo" and "Sanjuro". He travels about Japan, and while he may seek happiness, violence and tragedy always cross his path. This time it is a woman carrying a young infant who he encounters on the road that leads him into a tale of violence, intrigue and a village in uproar. A great story and cool action scenes, a movie not to be missed!

Many Christmases ago, I was a relatively newly married young woman, not well-schooled in the domestic arts but eager to climb that most daunting of culinary mountains - cooking a Christmas turkey. This single phrase can strike terror into even the most fearless of cooks, neophyte and epicurean alike.
It was our second or third Christmas together and we were living in Vancouver, both away from our families. My new husband had recently moved to Canada from Europe with me after our marriage. He had his own set of holiday traditions, including a six-course Christmas Eve meal that spanned hours of eating with drinks served in correctly shaped stemware to accompany each course. I would later witness this gargantuan and gourmand eating marathon, but for now, I was anxious to share my more modest family traditions.
I had consulted with my mother numerous times before beginning the turkey preparations and had studied several books on the subject. My mother's culinary wisdom had been passed down from a long maternal lineage of successful Christmas dinners past. Going in I knew that the preparation and cooking involved endless hours, perhaps beginning before dawn, and that one of the important indications of doneness was when the wings threw themselves from the body in a peak of perfection.
The turkey tomes took on a much more scientific and mathematical model than my mother's preparations, portraying the subject as one of the greatest cooking challenges of all. The books used obscure terms such as "body cavity" and "giblets," called for cooking tools obviously missing from my spartan collection, such as a cooking thermometer and turkey baster, and made dire threats of disease and death if one failed to keep turkey blood away from all other food and utensils.
The actual cooking of the bird involved such intricate and complex mathematical calculations regarding kilos, temperatures and time that Einstein's theory of relativity began to look relatively simple. My math phobia reared up as I calculated and double-checked my calculations.
Now I should mention that we were living in one of the many strange accommodations we would share over the years. This was the time before we lived in the top floor of an old house with Greg, who would steal into our side of the fridge to scarf our food at night while we slept.
This time, we were what is euphemistically termed "mortgage helpers," living in the basement of a wealthy woman's house. Our unit was self-contained except for the kitchen, which we shared with her and her daughter. It was upstairs, an awkward situation both physically and socially. We had to negotiate times for kitchen use around her needs, and this was no exception.
I had reserved the oven and prep time, and on Christmas Day got down to the business of fishing out small bags of innards from various cavities and preparing my mother's stuffing, to which I'd added some personal, and I thought highly creative, innovations such as fruit and nuts. I put the bird in at the correctly calculated hour and descended back down to our little love nest in the basement.
During the turkey roasting hours, we camped near our spindly Charlie Brown tree, which we'd hiked under the power lines and rescued from clear-cutting the previous weekend. We played that game from childhood where you squint your eyes and bob your head to make the tiny Christmas lights twinkle.
There were few packages under the tree that year as we were struggling students. We excitedly began to open them in a burst of Christmas cheer, far from our families but warm in the glow of our early couplehood.
I happily shredded the first package to reveal a decidedly pedestrian but much-needed desk lamp. Not quite the romantic token of my true love's affections I'd envisioned. But there were still two small packages nestled under the tree that conjured images of jewellery, lingerie and other sensuous delights.
I opened the first. A 60-watt light bulb lay wrapped under layers of tissue.
With rising hopes, I tore into the second package. It yielded yet another light bulb for the new lamp.
Oh well, there was still my masterful and magnificent gift of the traditional Christmas dinner to anticipate.
After several hours, I went upstairs to the kitchen to begin the mashed potatoes and other vegetables, along with my own homemade cranberry sauce, sure to impress. I finished whipping the potatoes, fluffy as cumulus clouds, and remembered that in the last hour of turkey cooking, basting to achieve the perfect crispy skin was part of the ritual, along with using the drippings to make the gravy.
I opened the oven and there sat a cold, mottled, faintly purple, totally raw turkey. For some obscure reason, and I do blame the turkey gods for this, the oven had never been turned on. I absolutely recall setting the correct temperature on the dial, but it is possible I had forgotten to push the start button, which I now hastened to do.
It was well after midnight when we began that memorable meal. The potatoes had hardened and were slightly cold, the vegetables were pale and mushy, but the bird was luminously golden and moist, with its wings lying in the bottom of the pan like little sentries saluting the perfectly cooked Christmas turkey.

My husband and I have to travel to Webster, near Rochester, NY almost every Friday in the next year or so. Since we are going to be there so often, I was wondering if I could get some suggestions for good restaurants and places to eat in the area. Anything in or near the Rochester area is fine. We don't mind going out of the way a little for good food.
In general, we like excellent food of any type and cuisine. Since we have many Friday evenings to spend there, a variety of recommendations would be great. Maybe some nice places, and some other cheaper options. We also like restaurants that are unique and authentic (if ethnic). Healthy is also a plus, though we don't mind the calories if it's for good food, just not some greasy, cheap, fast-food like places. A nice atmosphere is preferred, but the quality of the food is more important.
Any suggestions would be extremely helpful. Thanks so much in advance!

I have deposited €70 at Karamba Casino on the 28th of December 2015. I have received €35 bonus upon this deposit, giving me a total balance of €105. I started playing video slots and wone some money. During my play I allegedly won €100 in a tournament named Karamba Rocks (bonus or cash, not clear?; see bonus terms stating: Tournament winnings may or may not be cash redeemable). These winnings from the tournament probably was credited in to my account during my play. I haven't even participated in this tournament and was playing on my mobile and it is not possible to participate on mobile games! This can be verified in my gamelogs, which they are not sending to me upon multiple requests.
They have just credited tournament winnings on my account without prior notice to me. I didn't receive any emails or other notifications. There was also no change in the wagering requirement. I simply haven't participated in the tournament.
I have read the terms and conditions of Karamba Casino carefully. It is not allowed to place bets exceeding €7 or 20%. During the active bonus I haven't placed any bets exceeding the €7. All of my bets were between €1 and €4. At some point I have met all wagering requirements (please see attached screenshot). Starting that moment I was free to place higher bets, as the wagering requirement was finished. During my play I gradually staked higher bets as I was winning and I was under the impression that there was no wagering left. I have checked this twice on the account page.
After playing a while my total balance was arount 30K. I was really ecstatic, as I have never won so big. I have then decided to cash out, in accordance with their withdrawal policy (10K per month), in 10K installments. I also received emails from Karamba Casino with them congratulating on my big winnings. They also asked me to write a testimonial, which I did and sent to them. I was also asked to send in documents in order for them to verify my identity. I have done this immediately and got an email from them stating that my account was fully verified.
Here it comes: On the 4th of January, I received an email telling me that I have abused their bonus and that my withdrawals were declined and confiscated. My deposit of €70 was funded back in to my account. I was really shocked and couldn't believe this was happening, as I have read their terms and played in accordance with their bonus policy. I have only placed higher bets after finishing the wagering.
I also had contact with a Dutch customer support agent, which told me I was playing in accordance with the bonus policy, his name is Rolf. I have requested a tape of this phone call with him and other chat transcripts and
The problem here is that Karamba is using the 100€ winnings from the tournament, which is bonus money according to them and therefore subject to wagering. I have never received any notification regarding this. i just did not participate in this tournament. This was also not displayed on the account page. I have checked this and there was just no wagerring requirement. This was the reason why I placed higher bets.
I am really disappointed in Karamba Casino. The way they have sent me emails congratulating me and afterwards unfairly confiscating my winnings, is just rogue. I have hit bed rock here and really don't know what to do, therefore I decided to take the first step to get my rightful winnings back with the help of Askgamblers. Really appreciate if you guys could help me here.
Best regards,
The player's attachments have been removed because they contained sensitive personal information.
Dear Jitijani,
Thanks for your email.
On the 28.12 at 10:25 GMT you deposited 70 EUR and received as per your chat request, 35 EUR and another bonus of 100 EUR. (prize you claimed)
By the way you complained about the bonus on your previous post above , but you actually asked for it during your chat with our customer service and based on the chat below you were happy to receive it.
you: i was speaking to rolf
Rolf: Hi there and welcome. My name is Rolf, how are you today?
you: its me XXXXX
you: you were checking what i won yesterday about number 1 karamaba rocks event
you: and i made a desposit of €70 as you can see
you: rolf
Rolf: Did you see the last part of the chat?
Rolf: I added the bonus for you
Rolf: And you won €100
Rolf: :-)
you: oh ok thanks
Rolf: It is all added to your account
Rolf: Haha
Rolf: No problem
you: thank you
You started betting on Jackpot jester at 10:31 GMT.
At 10:37 GMT you lost your deposit funds and all further bets were placed with your bonus balance which means that all your bets from this point until wagering requirement is completed, must be strictly according to the bonus policy. ( since you lost at this point your original deposit and use bonuses only)
At 12:40 GMT on the game real bandits your wagering was not completed yet but you started betting between 9 and 12 EUR generating few hundreds of winnings which is a clear breach of our terms and conditions. Please find a reminder below:
"When a bet abuses the betting system – regardless of which game it was placed on – it will not count towards a player's wagering requirements. If the player placed single bets equal to or greater than €7 or 20 percent of the bonus amount before the wagering requirements for the bonus have been met, we reserve the right to withhold any amount in excess of the player's original deposit from a player's withdrawal. "
These high winnings from invalid bets, are what built your high balance and gave you the opportunity to bet massively over 60 euro to reach the high balance you mentioned .
Here at Karamba, we like nothing more than to see our players winning huge prizes but of course adhering to the Terms & Conditions.
As we already informed you, we consider this decision as final from our side.
Best Regards
Karamba Team
Thank you for the quick response. However, I'd like to state that I don't agree with this.
First of all, I have never opted in for this tournament. However, I do not mind winning some extra cash or bonus money. That's always welcome. The thing here is that the tournament policy states that winnings can be either cash or bonus. The support agent only said that I won €100. Nowhere I could find any information about the type of the winnings. Karamba has just credited me with €100. Also nothing was said about any wagering requirements regarding the amount of €100 I allegedly won in this tournament. During my play I have had contact with support multiple times! In those chats nothing was said about bonus or wagering requirements either. Lastly, I was congratulated multiple times with my winnings. When my balance was arount 57K support has congratulated me too. During this chat support has also checked if my gameplay was in accordance with the bonus policy and everything was just fine they said. Please add those chat transcripts too, as Karamba doesn't provide me with these chat and call transcripts upon multiple requests via mail.
Also Karamba states the time and amount I have bet on both Jackpot Jester and Real Bandits. This could be right, as I completed the wagering requirement on that moment. That was the reason why I placed higher bets. There was no wagering requirement left on that moment. I have checked this on the My Account page. Karamba is just using the €100 tournament winnings afterwards as bonus money!
Dear Jtijani,
Thanks for your email.
Please look at the screen shot, inner page of the Christmas promo. This was the promotion page describing all our Xmas activities. As you can see, it s clearly displayed, 100Euros bonus (for the prize you won)
Also we just sent to askgamblers support team evidence of:
1) the facts that really quick the real funds were lost and the remaining balance was only bonuses.
2) A proof of the high bets under wagering requirement.
Best Regards
Karamba Team
That screenshot doesn't proove anything in this matter.
Like I have stated in previous posts, I haven't opted in for this tournament. This is actually the first time I am seeing this page. Also there are no other specified terms to this. How about accountability of support employees? They have told me multiple times my gameplay was okay. You guys are using this €100 bonus from that tournament afterwards as an additional wagering requirement (after I have met the wagering requirement on the first 35€ bonus) to justify things at your end. The wagering for that €100 was also not shown on the My Account page of the casino. Not to speak about sending me mails with congratulations and request of testimonials and KYC documents and declining my rightful winnings later is just really perverse.
I will escalate this matter further to all possible casino review sites and gambling lincensing authorities (MGA & Gambling Commission) concerned if Karamba doesn't come up with a solution for this. This is just bogus!
Based on all the information and evidence presented on this case by both parties, AskGamblers Complaints Team can confirm that:
a/ player was well in aware of the fact why the disputed amount of 100 euro has been added to his account as well as that this amount is bonus and not cash.
b/ player placed multiple high bets in violation of max bet rule applied by Karamba Casino.
c/ Karamba Casino acted accordingly to its own bonus policy and rules and confiscated players winnings derived from placing bets in violation of max bet rule while playing with bonus funds.
Although we could imagine the huge disappointment of having such a huge win confiscated due to bonus rule violation, after all it is player's obligation to familiarize these rules and follow them strictly.
We would also like to remind player that in case of a disagreement with our decision further assistance on this issue could be requested by the relevant licensing authority responsible for Karamba Casino license to operate.
The case is now officially closed.

join me in welcoming another beautiful woman sharing her thoughts on japan. stacey is on staff with our church and our resident expert on japan.
I have been to Japan six times, and I have also spent much of my life dedicated to learning the language and pursuing full-time missions in Japan. When I first heard about the 9.0 earthquake and resulting tsunami, I was very concerned, but felt confident that this great industrious nation would rebuild very quickly. In the days that have followed the quake, however, it has become clear that the rising death toll and concerns over nuclear instability has left Japan in shock. I have watched several interviews with survivors of the tsunami who admit that they do not know where their spouses, children and grandchildren are. It is heartbreaking to imagine the emotions they must be feeling.
Just days before the earthquake hit, I purchased plane tickets for a mission trip this summer to Japan. My departure date is still two months away, so I am hopeful that my trip will still be able to happen. I feel drawn to be in Japan right now and to support those who are questioning God or are beginning to ask spiritual questions for the first time.
Japan's population is only .5% Christian. Missionaries have always found it perplexing that the Gospel meets so much resistance in Japan, especially since it is fully legal to be a Christian there. We can only hope and pray that God will move in the hearts of the Japanese people to seek Him as the one true God, and Jesus Christ His Son.
Our GCM Contacts in Japan are reporting that they are safe but very concerned. Please pray for their continued safety and that they will have spiritual opportunities in the lives of those around them. Please also pray that God would protect the nation from radiation leakage. Let's pray that any radiation that is leaked will dissipate over the ocean rather than blowing over large cities like Tokyo. Also, please pray for the needs of those who are in evacuation shelters, many of whom are the elderly who left behind their necessary medications. Let's pray together that God will be near to those who are hurting, and that He will turn many hearts toward Him!
thank you stacey for giving me a clearer picture on the needs of japan. it is so easy to get caught up purely in the relief and recovery efforts. i am thankful for your heart for this country and will join you in praying.
if you would like to support stacey and her work in japan, please go here for information on giving.

text: I have recently purchased a Kimber Eclipse Custom II chambered in 10mm. After running a few mags through it I realized my reloads are too hot for the gun to cycle properly. Two spent cartridge jams in 3 mags. I have a g29 with 23 and 21 lb springs it cycles great with the same round. My question is what combination of spring weights with a New firing pin stop from EGW do yall recomend to run med to hot reloded ammo and what brands do you recommend. So far Ive read to go with a 23 lb main spring (hammer spring) and a 20 lb recoil spring with the 90 degree firing pin stop small beveled edge. Does this sound close for 10mm? Theres alot of info on 1911's in 45 caliber but not alot for the 10 mm. Thanks, and any extra info to help a new to 1911 10mm owner would be great. Im a very capable mechanic and machinist, just havent ever owned a 1911.

- Round 1: (*ding* *ding* *ding*) Using his dad's tape recorder, Greg records a series of "commercials" to play over the intercom, encouraging his fellow students to vote for him. Simple commercials ... except when he plays the tape back to his friends, all there is is silence. Greg immediately decides Marcia got ahold of the tape recorder and erased the tapes. Meanwhile, Marcia has copiously been taking notes for her campaign speech and leaves them on the family room table to get a snack. When she returns, the notes are missing ... and who would be the only one in her mind, at least to want to spy on her campaign by taking them (or in the very least, just simply dispose of them)? Why, Greg, of course, since he must be afraid of losing to a girl.
- Round 2: (*ding* *ding* *ding*) Mike and Carol have the idea of allowing Greg and Marcia to rehearse their campaign speeches before an audience, that audience being their parents and siblings. Only Marcia's speech is heard, and the stone-faced looks on the boys is priceless as they sit there, disgusted and refusing to acknowledge her speech. Marcia begins to cry at the boys' rude refusal to even give polite applause.
- Round 3: (*ding* *ding* *ding*) Greg has called his friends over to get the results of a straw poll and plot campaign strategy. When they see that the vote is going to be close, one of the boys Rusty comes up with a great idea ... by spreading a rumor about Marcia. Greg allows Rusty to explain he suggests that Marcia is easy and that she and class creep Felix Brown were seen kissing and necking in the movie theater.
Tropes present in this episode:
- Cheaters Never Prosper: Greg outright rejects Rusty's suggestion that he engage in splattering Marcia's name through the mud and tells him to get lost.
- Feud Episode: The siblings, by gender. Which Mike and Carol put a decisive stop to.
- Here We Go Again: The tag scene.
- The Gloves Come Off: What Greg's campaign manager proposes late in the episode with his rumor about Marcia being seen with school creep Felix Brown, this coming after he sees that the race is too close to call.
- Retcon: Partial, concerning Carol's golf game. In this installment, it is explained Carol owned a set of golf clubs and played regularly. In the Season 4 episode "Greg's Triangle" — incidentally, another episode where Greg's integrity would be tested, although in that episode the stakes were ... well, much different — Carol is a hopeless novice who performs so badly she winds up twisting one of Mike's clubs (literally) into a pretzel.
- Student Council President: Greg and Marcia running against each other for this position is the backbone of this episode's plot.

Antique gold is one of Fall's uber coveted color. I honestly like its versatility and timeless appeal. Just switch up your lip color and boom! you can go from demure Monday to flirty Tuesday. That's what happened to me few days ago when I went back to back with antique gold.
Two days, two looks, one eyeshadow. For these FOTDs, I used Laura Mercier Sun Glow from the Summer Folkore collection. With a barely-there lipgloss from Estee Lauder (wild sugarcane), tweety bird says I can be as coy as a butterfly (haha, in my dreams!)
Now whip up Wet n Wild lippy (908 C sugar plum fairy) and this woman is on fire...
I'm officially over summer. I can't stand the severe humidity at all. Would you believe I'm still sick with cough and cold? Hoping for a better moi next week.

Jenna Byrnes could use more cabinet space and more hours in a day. She'd fill the kitchen with gadgets her husband purchases off TV and let him cook for her to his heart's content. She'd breeze through the days adding hours of sleep, and more time for writing the hot, erotic romance she loves to read.
Jenna thinks everyone deserves a happy ending, and loves to provide as many of those as possible to her gay, lesbian and hetero characters. Her favorite quote, from a pro-gay billboard, is "Be careful who you hate. It may be someone you love."

Day 1 of 2 rainy ones, then cold front moves in
(WTXF) - Keep your umbrella with you. We're starting a two-day rain event that'll be followed by a cold front.
FOX 29's Sue Serio reports Tuesday's rain is moving in and it will be wind-driven. Expect gusts of about 40mph at about noontime, but they will lower in the afternoon. Also, be careful on the roads.
There are some heavy downpours. You can see them in yellow on the Weather Authority radar.
Tuesday's temperatures started in the 40s and 50s. They'll be getting even warmer over the next two days, so there is no threat of wintry weather.
Tuesday's highs should reach the 60s. Then, Wednesday, we should see the upper 60s despite the rain.
After that, the cold front moves in.

Original paper
Distribution of main ore deposits and strong earthquakes in regard to the lithospheric structure of Central Asia
Khamrabaev, I.; Seiduzova, S.; , Matasova; Yankovskaya, N.
Global Tectonics and Metallogeny Volume 7 Number 1 (1999), p. 27 - 38
17 references
published: Jan 1, 1999
ArtNo. ESP136000701009, Price: 19.00 €
The territory of Central Asia which includes the Hercynian folded structures of the central and western parts of the Tien Shan, the Touran plate, the Pamirs, and the Kopetdagh alpides, contains various ore deposits including giant units. It is also a high seismic region where strong and destructive earthquakes occur rather often. Earthquake foci (hypocenters) in the Tien Shan region mainly appear in the upper crust (up to depths of 25-30 km). In the Pamirs, these events can occur both in the upper crust and in an upper part of the upper mantle (up to depths of 220-240 km). The lower crust in Central Asia (foot depths 30-80 km) appears to be aseismic in almost all areas. The earthquake epicenters trace large sublatitudinal steeply dipping faults that divide tectonic elements and blocks and displace the Moho discontinuity for 5 to 10 km (North Ferghana, South Ferghana, Atbashi-Inylchek, South Tien Shan, North Pamir, and other faults). Large geotectonic units of the Tien Shan and the Pamirs are of well-defined metallogenic specialization: caledonides of the North Tien Shan - ferrous/polymetallic/rare-earths; hercynides of the Middle Tien Shan - copper/ferrous/polymetallic /gold with fluorite and uranium; hercynides of the South Tien Shan - gold/rare metals (W, Mo, Sn, Hg, Sb) etc. The ore deposits are arranged as a belt zonation (the South Tien Shan) or as a node distribution (the Middle Tien Shan). Antagonism between large endogenic ore deposits and epicentral zones of strong earthquakes is being confirmed by evidence from other countries. Within the lithosphere, one can find a certain connection between the distribution of ore deposits and high velocity bodies. The absence of strong crustal earthquake foci in zones of lower seismic velocities, high conductivity, and higher plasticity (Vp/Vs > 1.75) has been established. In the present report, the authors offer an interpretation of the causes of these associations.

Gerrard - no job opportunity for me at Liverpool
Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard insists there is currently "no job opportunity" for him at the club despite being in contact with manager Jurgen Klopp.
The 36-year-old midfielder is into the final six months of his contract with Los Angeles Galaxy and accepts his playing days are numbered.
And while there has been much speculation about him linking up with his former club in some capacity, nothing is in the pipeline at the moment.
"People need to understand that Jurgen Klopp is his own man, he's got his own team of people around him, that he is very happy and content with," Gerrard exclusively told virtual reality company Laduma.
"Of course I've got a huge Liverpool connection and Liverpool is in my heart and always will be but there's nothing to really comment on.
"There's no future decision to work with Klopp, I get on really well with him, we're in contact but there's no job opportunity there at the moment.
"There is absolutely nothing to say on my future beyond this MLS season at the moment.
"I know I'm in the twilight, I know I'm coming to the end pretty soon.
"I just want to try and enjoy every last moment really. The one thing I'm going to miss [is] walking on to the pitch.
"I'm going to miss that buzz very much because that's what I play the game for."

Steven Gerrard says he is enjoying going "unnoticed" in Los Angeles - but plans to return to Liverpool "sooner rather than later"Read the full story ›
Liverpool legend Gerrard could hang up his boots next year
Steven Gerrard says the forthcoming Major League Soccer season could well be his last before a move into coaching.
The former England captain, 35, has hailed the assistance afforded to him and other Three Lions stars of the recent past by the Football Association in preparing for a career in coaching.
Gerrard, who is set to line up for Los Angeles Galaxy against DC United in their season-opener on Sunday, March 6, wrote in his Daily Telegraph column: "Nothing is 100 per cent certain yet, but this season at LA Galaxy could be my last as a professional footballer.
"I know I'm in the twilight of my career. I am starting my UEFA A licence shortly and the Football Association are proving to be proactive and hugely encouraging in helping former players onto the coaching ladder.
"I was invited to meet the England Under-19 side earlier in the season and further opportunities are planned in future international breaks. I know players like Rio Ferdinand and Jamie Carragher have received similar invitations. It's something I'm keen to push further."
Gerrard wanted Spurs midfielder to replace him at Liverpool
Steven Gerrard has revealed that he wanted Dele Alli to replace him at Liverpool.
Gerrard left the Reds this summer to join LA Galaxy and has singled out Spurs and England midfielder Alli as the man he wanted to step into his shoes at Anfield.
"He looks ahead of me as far as England games and appearances are concerned," Gerrard told BT Sport.
"He's got more experience because he came through at MK Dons which has helped him progress and make the impact he has done at Tottenham.
"I was actually disappointed Liverpool didn't sign him. I thought he was certainly a player Liverpool might've tried to go for, especially with me coming to the end.
"He's certainly a player that could play for Liverpool for 15 years, he's got that ability."
Gerrard confirms Liverpool return to work with Klopp
Steven Gerrard has confirmed he will train with former club Liverpool next week and is relishing the opportunity to work with Jurgen Klopp.
LA Galaxy midfielder Gerrard has ruled out a return to a playing role with Liverpool and is only training at Melwood during the MLS close season.
The 35-year-old said on BT Sport's Champions League coverage: "I'm going to go in for a couple of weeks and work with Mr Klopp so I'm really looking forward to that, to see what he's about and try and learn a few things from him."

Liverpool legend Gerrard hints at retirement date
Former Liverpool and England captain Steven Gerrard has dropped his biggest hint yet that he may retire in 2016.
The LA Galaxy midfielder told reporters in Seattle: "It could be my last season as a footballer. I certainly don't want to feel like I'm feeling right now come next year."
Galaxy were knocked out of the play-offs in Major League Soccer by Seattle Sounders last week and Gerrard only joined their campaign for the last four months - scoring two goals in 14 appearances.
"I'd love to go out on a high. It's a long season and I only came here for the last four months, but I'll certainly be better for the experience next year."
Gerrard, now 35, says the experience of playing in the MLS is different than he anticipated.
"Going on the road, playing on (artificial) turf, playing at altitude, playing in humidity, those are the hurdles that I've had to face over the last three months that I wasn't aware of. Every away game has a different challenge," he said.

AORUS GA-Z270X-Gaming 5 Review
'The AORUS brand is off to a good start with the GA-Z270X-Gaming 5."
Whether you're shopping for laundry detergent, ice cream, or a PC part, brand name is likely something that weighs into your decision. And while you probably spend more time researching a motherboard than a laundry detergent, it's easier to find high-end products if you know the brand in question specializes in quality. AORUS is a premium gaming brand of GIGABYTE, and up until today, AORUS has been mostly known for notebooks. The GA-Z270X-Gaming 5 is one of the first AORUS motherboards, and it also serves as our first look at the Z270 chipset.
GIGABYTE isn't going away as a motherboard brand, nor will its G1 Gaming series, we're told. The AORUS brand, similar to ASUS' ROG brand, is aimed at gamers and is where you'll find the most innovative, cutting-edge motherboard additions. The GA-Z270X-Gaming 5, for instance, provides some interesting new twists for onboard lighting and fan controls. Higher-end AORUS motherboards, such as the GA-Z270X-Gaming 7 or GA-Z270X-Gaming 9, also feature built-in support for liquid cooling with blocks designed by EK Water Blocks or Bitspower.
The RGB lighting on the GA-Z270X-Gaming 5 is dazzling. AORUS provides LEDs all around the board, and the illumination is customization via the RGB Fusion utility. There are multiple lighting zones, each of which can have a different color and effect, including modes to pulse a single color, cycle through the entire 16.8 million color spectrum, and sync with music or PC conditions, such as CPU temperature. The GA-Z270X-Gaming 5 can also synchronize lighting with select GIGABYTE graphics cards and third-party light kits. For the latter, the GA-Z270X-Gaming 5 provides an RGBW light strip pin header to support a wider array of LED light kits.
The Z270 chipset is quite similar to the Z170 chipset. For right now, one of the notable differences is that Z270 provides four additional PCIe 3.0 chipset lanes (up from 20 in Z170 to 24 in Z270) for more port flexibility. The GA-Z270X-Gaming 5 takes advantage of the extra chipset lanes to deliver two M.2 ports (type 2242, 2260, 2280, 22110), a U.2 port, two NICs (the Killer E2500 and Intel's i219V), two USB 3.1 ports, and three PCIe xl slots.
Many Z170 motherboards feature similar or identical connectivity, but such a setup generally requires several ports to share bandwidth. For example, we've reviewed several Z170 motherboards where you could connect two M.2 drives and a U.2 drive, but doing so shuts off all of the SATA ports and the bottom PCIe xl6 slot. The GA-Z270X-Gaming 5 allows you to fill up both of the two M.2 ports, the U.2 port, and four of the 6Gbps SATA ports, while only losing the bottom PCIe xl6 slot.
The Z270 chipset also arrives alongside Intel's desktop Kaby Lake processors, and we tested the GA-Z270X-Gaming 5 with Intel's Core i7-7700K. Intel's Skylake processors, such as a Core ¡7-6700K, can also work on this board, or any other Z270 motherboard. The compatibility isn't a huge point in Z270's favor though, because many Z170 motherboards support desktop Kaby Lake chips via a firmware update. Another possible reason to jump to the Z270 chipset is support for Intel's Optane technology. Although not yet available, SSDs with Intel Optane memory are anticipated to use Intel's XPoint technology to provide speedy storage.
Priced at $194.99, the GA-Z270X-Gaming 5 falls on the lower spectrum of AORUS Z270 motherboards, yet it has almost all of the high-end performance capabilities of the more expensive boards. For example, you can install up to 64GB of DDR4-4000 memory, as well as a 3-way CrossFire or 2-way SLI graphics card configuration. The GA-Z270X-Gaming 5 also features Hybrid Fan pin headers that automatically detect the type of cooling device connected.
We tested the GA-Z270X-Gaming 5 using both Intel's Core ¡7-6700K and the Core i7-7700K. The benchmark results with the Core i7-6700K matched up with what we've seen from recently tested Z170 motherboards. Moving to a Core i7-7700K bumped
anywhere from 6 to 12.5%. The largest gains were seen in SiSoftware Sandra's 2016 tests, while improvements in Cinebench 15 and POV-Ray 3.7 were a modest 6.3% and 7%, respectively. Pairing the GA-Z270X-Gaming 5 with GIGABYTE'S GeForce GTX 1080 Xtreme Gaming helped to produce healthy frame rates (all above 87fps) in our game tests.
The AORUS brand is off to a good start with the GA-Z270X-Gaming 5. Bright RGB lighting throughout the board makes it incredibly easy to customize the look of your PC, and device support is everything we've come to expect from a GIGABYTE motherboard. We look forward to seeing other AORUS motherboards this year.

Final 11 games a challenge for Knicks
GREENBURGH, N.Y. -- Making the playoffs for the second straight season is not a given for the Knicks. They will have to earn a postseason berth.
They have 11 games left, and three are against teams that have won more than 72 percent of their games. Three more are against teams with winning percentages above 56 percent.
With their lead over ninth-place Milwaukee cut to a half-game after the Bucks' 116-94 win over Portland Saturday night, the Knicks will have to navigate through a rough late-season schedule in order to play May games at the Garden.
"This is kind of what you want down the stretch," Tyson Chandler said after practice Saturday. "You want to play against tough teams to prepare you for the playoffs. I feel like it's going to build character."
It starts Sunday in what should be a playoff-type atmosphere at the Garden against the Chicago Bulls, who will be getting 2010-11 MVP Derrick Rose back from a groin injury that kept him out of the previous 12 games.
The Easter treat begins a home-and-home between the Knicks and Bulls, a miniseries that could be a preview of the playoffs. If the season ended now, the Knicks would face the Bulls in the first round.
"[It's] definitely going to be approached like a playoff game," Carmelo Anthony said. "When we go out there and play them Tuesday, it's going to be a playoff-mentality game. Right now, if we started today, that's who we would be matched up with, so we've got to approach it like that. [It's] a big game for us. I'm pretty sure they're thinking the same thing."
The Knicks have to treat every one of their 11 remaining contests like a playoff game. After the two against the NBA-best Bulls (43-13), the Knicks are in Milwaukee on Wednesday. If the Bucks win, they take the tiebreaker. If the Knicks win, the season series will be 2-2; the next tiebreaker is conference record.
The Knicks still could climb to seventh place, which likely would mean a first-round clash with the Miami Heat, which visits the Garden next Sunday. The seventh-place 76ers are only one game ahead of the Knicks, who own the tiebreaker on Philadelphia.
"We've got to win," interim coach Mike Woodson said. "We've beaten some good teams this year. Beating Orlando the other night wasn't no easy task. It makes me think that our guys are committed to winning."
The Knicks have been committed under Woodson and at home since he replaced Mike D'Antoni, whose last game was a loss to Chicago on March 12. Woodson has guided the Knicks to a 10-3 mark, including 7-0 at the Garden.
"He's been great," Anthony said. "The way he's been able to get through to the guys on the team, his communication with the guys on the team, holding everybody accountable, responsible out there on the court, it's been great. For me and the other guys on the team, we've been responding well to what he's been doing."
It's shown against teams with winning records, which gives the Knicks confidence with their remaining schedule.
Of the 10 wins under Woodson, five have been against teams with better records than the Knicks. It nearly was six, but the Knicks blew a 15-point fourth-quarter lead and lost to the Pacers on Tuesday. They responded two nights later by dismantling the Magic.
"We're going to have to beat a good Chicago team that's considered the best team in the East," Woodson said. "No, it's not going to be easy, but if we take it one game at a time and guys are committed, hopefully the results will be just like they were in Orlando."

Under Government proposals on competition law reform, complaints from consumer organisations and trade bodies will be dealt with under a fast-track procedure by the newly-established Markets and Policy Initiatives division. While there is some way to go before the proposals get the force of law, the OFT is already using the super-complaints system.
The complaint was re-ceived from the Consumers' Association and alleges a lack of competition and tariff discrepancies in private dentistry.
The Consumers' Association's in-house department is dealing with the procedure. The General Dental Council and the British Dental Association have not yet instructed external counsel.
According to Martin Coleman, head of Norton Rose's competition practice, dentistry is just the tip of the iceberg. "This could hit almost any area of UK business at any time," he said.
The OFT is already investigating consumer IT, pharmacies and extended warranties on consumer goods.
"This gives a lot more power to consumer bodies and trade bodies to trigger the investigatory mechanism"
Martin Coleman, Norton Rose
The OFT has been given a swath of new resources to investigate competition complaints. The super-complaint procedure is to be backed up with 80 new people, of whom around 45 are already in place, and substantial amounts of cash.
The OFT has 90 days in which to investigate the substance of the complaint before deciding whether to proceed. Under the law as it stands, the OFT could institute a formal investigation under the Competition Act, refer the issue to the Competition Commission for a monopolies investigation, or apply consumer protection legislation.
According to Coleman, the worry is that the super-complaints procedure gives the OFT a potent weapon. He said: "This gives a lot more power to consumer bodies and trade bodies to trigger the investigatory mechanism. This must be a concern to businesses that are investigated in response to complaints that are not necessarily well conceived."
An OFT spokesman claimed that companies will not have to expend many resources at the initial stage and that the regulator will not process complaints that are not well-founded. While there is a long way to go before the impact of the new powers can be properly assessed, this may well turn out to be another lucrative government reform for competition lawyers.

Caryologia | Year: 2015
Detailed karyotype, genome size and RAPD marker analysis were employed to assess genetic diversity in Taro (Colocasia esculenta var antiquorom Schott.). Karyotype analysis revealed genotype specific chromosomal characteristics and structural alterations in chromosome with variations of ploidy from 2n = 2x = 28 (cv. Mothan, cv. Muktakeshi, cv. Sree Kiran, cv. Sree Pallavi, cv. Sunajhili) to 3n = 3x = 42 (cv. Banky, cv. DP-25, cv. Duradin, cv. H-3, cv. Telia) in the genome. Highly significant variations in the genomic length, volume and total form (TF) % were noted at variety level. Total genomic chromosome length varied from 46.96μm in cv. Sree Kiran to 100.49μm in cv. Duradin. Total genomic chromosome volume varied from 18.22μm3 in cv. Sunajhili to 38.22μm3 in cv. Duradin. Total form percentage was varied from 24.94% in cv. Sree Kiran to 39.04% in cv. H-3 confirming near metacentric to metacentric chromosomes in the karyotype. Significant variations in the 4C DNA content noted among the cultivars that ranged from 7.24 pg in cv. Sree Kiran to 18.24 pg in cv. Duradin; accordingly, genome size varied from ~7095 to 17875 Mbp. High genome size in all the triplod varieties with 3x = 42 chromosomes could be due to the presence of extra set of chromosomes in the genome or high amount of repetitive DNA. The variation in the genome size at the variety level might be attributed to loss or addition of highly repetitive sequences in the genome. Amplification of genomic DNA in 10 genotypes using Operon primers yielded 230 amplified DNA fragments, ranging in size from 200 to 2500bp out of which 79 bands were polymorphic. A total of 8 unique RAPD bands were observed among 10 taro genotypes that revealed primer wise polymorphism ranged from 16.66 to 47.36% with an average polymorphic percentage of 34.34%. Whereas, among the cultivars the polymorphic percentage varied from 3.70% between cv. DR-25 & cv. Duradin and cv. Telia & cv. H-3 to 41.94% between cv. Mothan & cv. Muktakeshi. Genetic similarity based on Jaccard's coefficient varied from 0.54 to 0.96, indicating wide genetic variability among the varieties based on RAPD markers. Similarity measures and cluster analysis generally reflected the expected trends in relationships of diploid and triplod taro varieties. Dendrogram obtained from the genetic distances among the varieties could be useful for breeders to choose the diverse parents for breeding programme aimed at varietal improvement. © 2015 Dipartimento di Biologia Evoluzionistica, Università di Firenze.

Several quantitative trait loci (QTL) for resistance to late blight have been reported in diploid potatoes. The diploid wild potato species Solanum chacoense possesses a high degree of horizontal resistance to late blight. In the present study, we report on QTL mapping for late blight resistance in a diploid mapping population of 126 F1 of Solanum spegazzinii (susceptible) × S. chacoense (resistant). The area under the disease progress curve (AUDPC) values for late blight resistance using the "whole plant in vitro assay" and the "detached leaf assay" on the mapping population displayed quantitative variation. Out of 64 AFLP primer-pairs combinations and SSR markers, a total of 209 significant AFLP loci were placed onto the 12 linkage group of potato covering a total map length of 6548.1 cM. QTL analysis based on the AUDPC dataset of the "whole plant in vitro assay" using the interval-mapping option identified two QTL (LOD > 2.5) located on linkage groups IX and X, which explained 14.70 and 3.40% variation, respectively. The present study revealed the presence of potential new genetic loci in the diploid potato family contributing to quantitative resistance against late blight. © 2014 EAPR.

The present study was undertaken to validate a sequence characterised amplified region (SCAR) marker tightlylinked to the potato virus Y (PVY) resistant gene (Ryadg) and its further use to develop a triplex parental line using marker assisted selection (MAS). The expected SCAR marker was detected in 11 PVY-resistant genotypes, including putative duplex clones, and was absent in PVY-susceptible genotypes. The resistant genotypes were also screened by double-anitbody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) and the results agreed with the SCAR marker data. Based on having a high marker band intensity, three putative duplex clones (YY-3, YY-6, and YY-13) were selected and were inter-crossed to ascertain their duplex status. Based on the PVY resistant (R): PVY susceptible (S) segregation ratio of their three respective progenies, the three clones were confirmed to be duplex clones. Similarly, five putative triplex clones were selected from the segregating progenies of two diploid clones based on having a higher marker band intensity. These were test-crossed with PVY-susceptible, nulliplex clones. The expected segregation ratio (27:1) following random chromatid assortment was tested for in the progenies. The triplex clone, YY-6/3 C11 was identified as carrying the extreme resistance gene to PVY. Use of this elite parental line in potato breeding programmes would ensure that 96% of the progeny carried at least one copy of the Ryadg gene, thus having extreme resistance to PVY. This would eliminate the need to screen using DAS-ELISA and would also reduce the widespread degeneration of potato seed by reducing the incidence of co-infections in which PVY is more damaging with Potato Virus X (PVX) and/or Potato Leaf Roll Virus (PLRV) on the sub-tropical plains of India where approx. 90% of potatoes are grown.This study showed that MAS can be used to speed-up a conventional breeding programme to develop a desired genotype.

Low availability of phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) in acidic soil is a major constraint for crop production. Therefore, a field study was conducted to determine the effects of K and P on nodulation, productivity, and nutrient uptake of cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) under rainfed conditions. The K and P were subjected to main and subplots, respectively with 100, 75, and 50% of fertilizer application. The growth and yield attributes were better using 100% K with 100% P. However, 100% K resulted in 20.9 and 16.9% greater green pod and stover yield than 50% K. Similarly, 100% P recorded 20.2 and 15.6% greater green pod and stover yield than 50% P. Uptake of nutrients such as nitrogen (N), P, and K followed the trend of greater to lower, 100% > 75% > 50%, in order for K and P. Similarly, nutrient-use efficiencies and production efficiency followed the trend of nutrient uptake. © 2014 Copyright Taylor and Francis Group, LLC.

Plant Breeding | Year: 2013
Late blight is the most devastating disease of the potato crop that can be effectively managed by growing resistant cultivars. Introgression of resistance (R) genes/quantitative trait loci (QTLs) from the Solanum germplasm into common potato is one of the plausible approaches to breed resistant cultivars. Although the conventional method of breeding will continue to play a primary role in potato improvement, molecular marker technology is becoming one of its integral components. To achieve rapid success, from the past to recent years, several R genes/QTLs that originated from wild/cultivated Solanum species were mapped on the potato genome and a few genes were cloned using molecular approaches. As a result, molecular markers closely linked to resistance genes or QTLs offer a quicker potato breeding option through marker-assisted selection (MAS). However, limited progress has been achieved so far through MAS in potato breeding. In near future, new resistance genes/QTLs are expected to be discovered from wild Solanum gene pools and linked molecular markers would be available for MAS. This article presents an update on the development of molecular markers linked to late blight resistance genes or QTLs by utilization of Solanum species for MAS in potato. © 2013 Blackwell Verlag GmbH.

Improve Your Credit Score
Understanding your UK credit rating
This can be tricky but knowing which factors can affect you will help when it comes to making decisions about finance.
Finance companies, whether they are loan companies, mobile phone shops or those that offer store cards, will look at certain factors to determine whether you are a good person to lend to. Credit ratings are a simple way of showing how much risk you are as a customer.
Factors which indicate risk could be missed payments, how often you've tried to get credit or already having too much debt. Credit ratings differ from company to company but the most common ones are Experian, Call Credit and Equifax so it is recommended to check your score with one of these.
Getting the basics right
This is easier said than done but it's really important. Make sure you:
- are registered on the electoral roll at your current address – this proves that you live there and many finance companies won't offer a deal if you're not on it,
- have a current account with a bank – this will show on your credit file but student accounts and saving accounts don't.
Common issues and solutions
Anything extra that shows up on your credit score will either positively or negatively affect you. Those which can affect you in a negative way are below, along with possible solutions.
Issue: Late or missed payments will show as a 'default' on your credit score which will indicate that you haven't been able to pay that particular bill.
Possible solution: If you think you're going to miss a payment talk to the company you owe and see if they can reduce the payment for that month. Taking this step will mean you can still pay an amount towards what you owe and it will show as paid on your credit file.
Issue: Too many pay day loans could indicate that you are unable to live on your income each month.
Possible solution: If you're struggling to pay money that you owe then it is probably wise not to apply for more finance. Talk to the companies that you owe money to and see if you can reduce your monthly outgoings.
Issue: Old accounts or unpaid bills that you may have forgotten about or have been taken out without your consent.
Possible solution: Make sure you're aware of all old debts and accounts in your name – it's not impossible for somebody, especially a family member or close friend, to open an account without your permission. If this happens any issues or missed payments will show on your credit file, not theirs. Make sure you're aware of anything on your file by getting a free trial with a company such as Experian or Equifax.
Things that do not show on your credit file:
- household rent (private or council) – even if you pay all your rent on time it won't show on your credit file so you need to prove you're a good payer in another way,
- TV Licence – you can opt to pay this by Direct Debit but this won't show on your credit file,
- insurance – whether it's for your car, household goods or even mobile phone these won't necessarily show up so don't rely on them.
No matter how much you want to gain credit make sure that you stay away from:
- applying for finance more than 3 times in 3 months as this will trigger automatic declines for a lot of companies,
- joint accounts with someone who has a bad credit rating as this will affect your rating, too,
- lying to companies. They have a clear view of your credit file so when they ask if you've been in debt, bankrupt or received a court order, they're checking to see if you're trustworthy. Be as honest as possible by telling them the circumstances around your debt, you might be surprised with the results.
