I felt that this represented a long period of economic prosperity, which has generally been the case since that time. While praying in August of 1995, I saw this field in a vision again, but with much more detail. The end of the field was covered in fog. Not far into the fog there was a very steep cliff. In the middle of the cliff there was a narrow, twisting, steep path that appeared like a descending bridge. It had the same green grass on it that the field did, and went all the way to the bottom. Those who walked into the fog almost all missed the little path and fell over the cliff. Some of these died, but there were nets below the cliffs that caught many of them. However, these nets were not there to save the people but to trap them. Others entered the fog carefully, dropping to their knees and searching for the path, which they seemed to intuitively know was there. Most of those looking for the path were able to find it, and carefully started down on their knees. A very few people had parachutes, and they jumped off the cliff into the fog. At the bottom there was a sea with four kinds of ships in the harbor-slave ships, warships, luxury liners, and hospital ships. Most of the ships were slavers. The next greatest number were warships. There were only five hospital ships, all of which were on clean, well kept docks right in the middle of the harbor. The two luxury liners were docked at each end of the harbor. There were an abundance of supplies on their docks, but both the docks and ships looked filthy and poorly maintained. No warships were docked, but all kept moving about in the harbor. The people who fell into the nets were put on the slave ships. Most of those who made it down the steep paths headed for the hospital ships, but many did head for the luxury liners. Of those who headed for the luxury liners, some were captured and made to board a slave ship. The luxury liners were closely guarded, and obviously under the control of the warships. The warships occasionally took people from the slave ships and luxury liners, and they were taking whoever they wanted; they could not be resisted. Those from the hospital ships were also taking people from the other ships, but they were only taking those who were the weakest, or who were so sick or wounded that they were not expected to live. The crewmen of the hospital ships were shown respect because they wore brilliant armor that seemed to confound everyone else. Those who were jumping off the cliff with the parachutes were all landing on the hospital ships or their docks. When a slave ship would fill up it would depart, making frequent turns as if it really did not know where it was going. The warships were also making so many turns that it seemed impossible to tell which way they would go next. Any ship that happened to be in the way of a warship when it turned was blasted and sunk by the warship. If the warships turned toward each other they started shooting at each other until one was sunk. Because of the fog many ships collided with other ships and sank. The water was filled with sharks that quickly devoured those who fell into it. The confusion, despair and fear over the harbor was as thick as the fog. When the fog thickened, these fears would intensify. When the fog would thin a little, hope would begin to rise in the people. When the fog lifted enough the open sea could be seen, and the ships would begin heading for it. The hospital ships were also the only ones who seemed to be sailing as if they knew where they were going. They could sail right through the chaos in the harbor and into the open sea at will. One or two of them were constantly going out to sea, disappearing for a time, and then they would return. Then another would go and do the same. As I followed one of these ships to the open sea in the vision, all of a sudden it was if I was standing on the bridge of the ship. The further out we went, the more the sky cleared. Soon it became more blue than I had ever seen it, except when flying in a high altitude jet. I was so intrigued by the sky that I had not been watching the sea. When I looked back at it I saw that we were actually flying at a very high altitude. I thought that we were going out into space, but soon we descended toward what appeared to be a whole new world. It was composed of islands, each with a different culture of people on it. The wounded on our hospital ship were placed on several of the different islands, so that each wounded person was placed with those from his or her own culture. These islands were at perfect peace, and there were beautiful white bridges connecting them to one another, with a constant flow of people on the bridges. On each island vast foundations were being laid for a great city. Even though each island was very different, and different from any place that I had ever seen, I felt immediately at home on each one. They were each like paradise, and though they seemed to be on a different world, I knew that they were somehow very close to the one I had just left. Interpretation and Insights: That I can now see the end of this field indicates that the end of our economic prosperity is now in sight. What I saw at the end was much more catastrophic than I had ever thought. There are some very dark times ahead, but at the same time there is a whole new world being built right in our midst that is more wonderful than we can even imagine. To the degree that we have built our lives and faith on the economy of the world, we have built on a very shaky foundation. We know that the time will come when everything that can be shaken will be. The time that we have been given until that happens is for the purpose of preparation. Let us build our hope and trust on the kingdom which alone cannot be shaken. Those who kept walking into the fog just as they had been walking in the open field, not discerning, or not acknowledging the change, either perished, or fell into slavery. Those who immediately fell to their knees were able to find a safe way down, but it still led down. They had to stay on their knees all the way; no one could have stood up on that slope because it was too steep and narrow. Falling to our knees speaks of prayer. As soon as we see the fog, or confusion, we must pray for every step we take thereafter. That no one ascended, but all went down to the bottom of the cliff, spoke to me that the economy of the whole world was going down. Many will survive what is coming, but not at the level they are presently. Much of our present standard of living has been built upon credit, borrowing from the future, and the future is now here. We are fast approaching the time when the bills will have to be paid. That will cause a drastic reduction of our present lifestyles. I felt that the slave ships were banks. During the Great Depression, banks were so over extended that most of them failed. Somehow, they have now positioned themselves to not only survive another economic collapse, but will actually be in a place to enslave those who are in debt to them. The warships were all different sizes, and I felt represented different powers. Their efforts were not coordinated, but they all seemed to be in as much confusion as everyone else, and all seemed to be at war with one another. They lived by plundering the other ships, and each other. I believe that in the times ahead small wars will be flashing up almost everywhere, and without reason. Anyone who just gets in the way of those with some power will be in trouble. The luxury ships were so filthy that it seemed only slightly better to be on one of them instead of a slave or warship. It was obvious that the luxury of the future will not be as we know it today. Also, the luxury ships were constantly being plundered by the warships, making them almost an intolerable place to be. Even a hint of luxury in the future may only serve to make us targets. I knew that the hospital ships were the church. They were glistening white with red crosses on them. They were so bright and clean that they stood out dramatically in this vision. White speaks of purity, and the red crosses spoke to me that they were bearing the cross. Red is also the color of sacrifice. These ships were so beautiful that anyone would have wanted to be on them. The church will become the most desirable place in the world to be, and the church will become the pure vessel she is called to be when she takes up the cross, committing herself to the life of sacrifice. In the times ahead, the life of sacrifice and service to others will be the most desirable life in the world, and will actually be a glorious place to dwell. The people on the hospital ships each wore brilliant, silver armor. They, too, stood out dramatically whenever they appeared, and this caused everyone to show them great respect, even the warships. This spoke to me that when believers learn to wear their armor, they are going to command the whole world's respect, and have authority because of it. The docks of the hospital ships were also spotless, and were overflowing with supplies. There was far more wealth on them than on the luxury ships, but the wealth was being used for service, not luxury. Because the individuals with the armor, and the hospital ships, commanded such respect, no one was trying to plunder their great stocks of supplies, even though they were obvious to everyone. When a hospital ship pulled between two warships that were fighting, they would stop fighting, and give them their wounded. It seemed that this was one of the primary purposes of these ships, to simply stop the fighting whenever they could. In the midst of the chaos of this place, the dignity, resolve and purpose that the Christians and their ships moved with was stunning. The greatest feeling came over me when I stood on the bridge of the ship leaving for the open sea. That feeling was freedom. As soon as we entered the open sea we ascended into the heavenly places. Once out of the fog we did not travel on the earth. When we came back down it was to a seemingly new earth, even though I knew somehow that it was right in the middle of what I had left. That I entered this extraordinary freedom on a hospital ship speaks of finding our true peace when we take up our crosses to serve others. When we do that we will begin to dwell in the heavenly places. Then we will see the earth very differently, we will see what God is doing. I really felt that those paradise islands were already right in our midst, but we just could not see them yet. At the very time when the world descends into a terrible chaos, which will probably begin with economic chaos, God is building bridges between peoples that will be the foundation of a glorious future. The end of this age is the beginning of the one over which Christ will reign. In Revelation 17:15 we are told that, "The waters which you saw where the harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues." The sea often represents mass humanity in prophetic language. That the sea at the bottom of the cliff was in the most terrible chaos represents what the kingdoms of this world are headed for. The islands represent that the Lord is also laying a foundation for His kingdom, right in our midst, at this same time. That I knew these islands were close to the sea of confusion, spoke to me that what the Lord is about to build on the earth is also very close at hand. The bridges are right now being built between peoples. The bridges were for interchange, and it was obvious to me that each island was building something wonderful, as if it were the very best from their culture, in order to share it with the other islands. That new foundations were being laid for cities represented a whole new beginning for the earth. What is now being built for the Lord, for the sake of His kingdom, will remain and be a foundation for the age to come.

The International Institute of Applied Aesthetics (Lahti, Finland) in association with the Nordic Society for Aesthetics and the Finnish Society for Aesthetics will arrange the 2010 annual conference of the Nordic Society for Aesthetics in Lahti, Finland. The theme of the conference is "Environment, Aesthetics, and the Arts."
The environment has been a focus of increasing interest within aesthetics for the last decades. At the same time, there has been growing recognition that the term 'environment' has come to have multifarious meanings, referring not solely to natural environments but also to forms of human environment. This recognition has revealed a wide array of questions which the notion of environment raises for aesthetics. Do all things called 'environment', for example, in virtue of merely being environments therefore share enough aesthetically to warrant a uniform type of aesthetic appreciation for them all or do different environments call for different forms of aesthetic appreciation? This expansion of the array of aesthetic questions related to the environment also provides an opportunity for a more extensive appraisal of the status of environmental aesthetics as a whole. Do the classic texts of environmental aesthetics any longer give tools for successfully coping with the issues which have more recently become the center of attention?
Focus on the environment has led also to an enlargement of the scope of aesthetics to include questions which have initially been raised in such fields as environmental and architectural studies, ecology, cultural geography, and sociology. This enlargement has increased the potential impact of aesthetics on other academic subjects. Another issue which growing interest in the environment and the resultant expansion of the field of aesthetics have brought to light is the relationship between aesthetics and ethics. What, for example, is the relationship between aesthetic and moral values? Is ethics the mother of aesthetics, or is it, ultimately, the other way around? These questions do not concern merely environmental aesthetics, as the relationship between aesthetics and ethics comes into play in a large group of questions in the philosophy of art as well. Recently, empirical and naturalist approaches taking inspiration from evolutionary theories of human cognition have been offered to answer such questions, and these types of answers have had some impact in aesthetics.
Focus on the environment is in many ways relevant also to the philosophy of art. Natural scenery has been a subject of the visual arts for centuries, but we usually respond to landscape paintings differently than we do to natural landscapes. Why is that so, and what does this difference in response tell us about differences between the aesthetics of art and the aesthetics of nature? Also, various forms of contemporary art incorporate objects from the environment within them, and, consequently, raise from another angle the question of the relationship between different aesthetic realms. What sort of relevance, for example, do the putatively-unique features of nature have for the questions regarding the relationship between art and aesthetics?
People interested in exploring these issues are asked to send an abstract of no more than 300 words to firstname.lastname@example.com. Deadline for abstracts is 31.1.2010.
Paper proposals dealing with other issues in aesthetics are also highly welcome. The time allotted to each paper is 40 minutes (30 minutes for presentation and 10 minutes for discussion).

perceived threat from the Soviet Union, President
Truman signed the National Security Act of 1947.
This act set up the National Security Council
and the Central Intelligence Agency (C.I.A.)
and was followed in 1949 by the CIA Act which
determined that the CIA's activities and budget
would be classified and also stipulated that
any other government agency could transfer funds
to the CIA - without regard to any provisions
of the law. The CIA Act also decreed that if
any of its activities were exposed, the U.S.
Government could "plausibly deny" any responsibility
for the CIA 's actions.

concept gained approval, however the administration
of the project was allocated to the CIA. Initially
Seaberg offered the contract to build the aircraft
to 3 small companies but Kelly Johnson of Lockheed
managed to outsmart him - Johnson took his design
with a delivery date of 8 months directly to the
CIA. and succeeded in obtaining the contract.
The proposed aircraft was code named "Aquatone".
Edwards Air Force Base was deemed not to be "secure" enough for the test of such a craft so Johnson gave his top test pilot, Tony Levier, the task of finding a suitably secure area in the Southwest where it would safe to do so. Levier checked a number of sites before arriving at a dry lake - Groom Lake in Nevada - adjacent to what was called the Atomic Energy Commission Proving Grounds (later re-named the Nevada Test Site). Groom Lake proved to meet the requirements of a testing site for a top-secret aircraft - a ready surface for landing, unpopulated and unattractive because of the pollution caused by radio active fall out.
The controlled area of the AEC was expanded to include Groom Lake and the CIA set up a fake company - CLJ -to administer the sub-contractors who were hired to construct the base. Initially a mile long runway, hangars, a concrete ramp, a control tower and mess hall were constructed and although described as Watertown Strip officially, the base became known as "Paradise Ranch" or simply "The Ranch" by air crews. The first prototype "Aquatone" was flown (dismantled on a transport plane) out to groom lake on 24th July 1955 - later became known as the U-2.The Ranch, however, was administered by the CIA and Lockheed - it was not an Air Force base - and U-2 pilots when recruited had to resign from the Air Force and become employed by the CIA. Such secrecy was enforced by the CIA that the pilots who flew the transport aircraft bring U-2s to the base were not told where they were heading and for the latter part of their journey were guided in by radio. All personnel working at the Ranch used aliases whilst on duty - returning to their normal I.D.s when they left the base. The successor to the U-2, code-named "Archangel", required a much longer runway than that at Groom Lake. However, security was so good at the base that it was decided to extend the runway and in effect, build a small town which included a movie theatre, a bar and a baseball field. In 1962, Groom Lake or the Ranch was renamed, it now became known as "Area 51". To add even more confusion, Nellis AFB began calling the base by the call sign of its control tower - "Dreamland". At this time the restricted air space above Area 51 was extended to 600 square miles. The new aircraft, a high altitude reconnaissance plane, was originally called the RS-71 but due to a mistake by a president's aide it came to be known as the SR-71 and because it was painted black (part of its anti-radar protection), it became known as "Blackbird".
The SR-71 was followed by the development of the D-21 Tagboard, an unmanned drone which was not a success and eventually AREA 51, in 1973, became the developing ground for "Stealth" technology - once again Lockheed obtained the contract to develop stealth aircraft, code-named "Project Harvey" after the invisible rabbit of the same name. From 1977 stealth aircraft - stealthy to the extent of being virtually undetectable by radar - have been tested at AREA 51and it is rumoured that "visual stealth" is now being developed which one such mysterious craft being called "Aurora" - the existence of a craft under that name is, however, highly debatable. See Aurora - covered on this site. One theory given for the name "AREA 51" is "because the CIA seems to have the ability to act independently of the U.S. Administration and because the base itself is completely autonomous, it has, in effect, become a self governing state - the 51st".

Wizard! Chapter 232
Though William's soul felt big, that wasn't really a good thing. It certainly didn't feel strong or healthy like it had before- instead it was like walking through a desecrated city. Using that metaphor, all he wanted was a half-hanging roof to go over his head. Everything was so broken… maybe just a wall. A few unbroken bricks stacked on each other… even a single unbroken brick. No wonder it felt so big, because even on the smallest levels he couldn't find any functioning part of his soul. The only thing that differentiated the different parts was what kind of damage there was.
Eventually, though, William found something. A tiny spot in the center that was unburnt and unravaged. Perhaps it wasn't exactly the center, perhaps it was. William considered zooming out to determine that, but he was worried he would never find it again. There was just the tiniest spark of ki. William doubted he could have even redirected a mote of dust with that, not that he had a body and any dust to move.
Still, he cultivated Rotational Soul Pressure… for a moment. As he moved the spark of ki, it immediately ran into unusable area. William felt that the tiny bit of emptiness in which the ki resided was surrounded by black ash… but upon touching it, it seemed more like a goo. He barely pushed against it, and the ki faded from existence, leaving only a finger sized depression in a ruined city. That was it, and then it was gone.
William knew that expended ki would recover over time. However, that was only tested in specific circumstances. First of all, that required a body, and the ki generally was refined from energy around the user. William certainly didn't have a body, but the bigger issue was that he wasn't sure if there was any energy around him. William wasn't sure if there was even space around him. Souls didn't really have much in the way of physical locations to begin with, and probably less so without a body. William had no way to tell, with no physical senses… and he had no real ki to feel around him.
Fortunately, the spark of ki came back. It was slow. William's sense of time wasn't clear, but it was definitely much slower than it should have been. Still, it came back, which was something. William tried again, merely managing another poke. He waited for ki to return… and used it. Eventually, he had an area about the size of two fists… at least on the scale he was thinking about, if each instance was a poke. He found that the ki gathered faster, and there was more of it. Not as much as he would have recovered subconsciously every instant of his life before, not even over what was probably hours or days, but it was some.
He was running into a problem, though. As he pushed aside the black goo that seemed to be what burnt soul was like, it became harder. He was having to push on more of it behind it, which became harder and harder. Thus, he pulled. He formed a small sphere of it, and left it floating. He compressed it as much as he could, but it still took up space… and that meant space that wasn't working for him. Still, it provided an avenue to work with. He made another sphere, and another. He considered piling it all on one large sphere…. But he wasn't sure what the consequences of that would be. Instead, he guided his ki through an ever growing grid of spheres… like the night sky, if stars were made out of gooey blackness instead of fire… and not like that at all. He carefully arranged them in a pattern… because he had no reason to be sloppy at this point. Gradually, as he compressed the spheres he had more and more space to work with, until he reached the point where he could most definitely alter the path of a speck of dust… if with some effort.
Finally, he reached a point where he was actually recovering ki fast enough to continually be working… though only at a very slow pace. That continued on for a very long time. Years… dozens of years at least. William somewhat calculated based on the thousands of tiny balls of black goo he had organized. Then, suddenly, the recovery speed of ki sped up… and William felt something. Not the ki inside him, but he actually felt something. He had a body. He was alive!
Well, though he was alive, that was the extent of it. He couldn't even extend his senses out of his body… not even though all of that. It was barely developed, but he could tell he was a baby… presumably in a womb. Still, having a body allowed him to recover ki faster. Being an infant was already a very frustrating proposition, but being yet unborn was even more so. Fortunately, he had something to do to distract him.
Though he had to slither his way around in between the balls of black goo, William was still managing to do something like cultivating… or at least clearing things up so that he later could. Somehow, having a physical body helped with perspective on how much progress he had made… and he realized he was still far below the level he had been at the end of his second life. Second life. That meant he had a first one, and since he had gotten higher, a third one. He didn't think there was any more than that. Still, he seemed to be have reincarnated two times before, and that would make this the third time. Thinking about that made him want to cry for some reason, but he didn't even have complete tear ducts yet. Still, he couldn't help but feel emotional at the fact that he was still alive. The man known as William was not gone from this world, and that made him happy… yet he still felt like crying.

Yabbas... you can probably pick-up burnout 3 & revenge pretty cheap for ps2. Those 2 are the only ones I'd personally recommend.

See now, I've got an R4 card for my DS and never even thought of downloading it after reading it sucked bigtime. I'll ask midnight when we are racing if it's worth playing (I don't have a downgraded PSP to download it)
Posted 29 May 2008 - 10:57 PM
Personally, BL on PSP is better for graphics and originality, BL on DS is best inivatively with its touchscreen for aftertouch and map viewer. I personally recommend the PSP version. As for downgrading a PSP, it is PSP 1.5 friendly, If you have PSP 1.5, install Custom Firmware 3.03 OE (which I have right now). If you wanna talk Custom Firmwares, let me know

Long|July 27, 2012 Share There's a new and particularly nasty virus making the rounds on Twitter and more and more folks are falling for it.Have you seen it? We bet you have – and we hope you didn't click the link! Sophos Naked Security is warning users about a new malware attack being sent from rogue (and hacked) Twitter accounts asking @recipients if "this picture is you" or some variety of that question.IT security and data protection firm Sophos is warning Twitter users to be cautious following the discovery of a widely spread malware attack on the micro blogging site. Malicious links, claiming to be an online photo of the Twitter user, are at present being spammed out across the social network. The links point to Russian web pages that ultimately attempt to infect Windows PCs using the Blackhole exploit kit."If you see tweets like this, please do not click on them," said Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at Sophos. "There isn't a photo of you waiting at the end of the link – and the accounts that are spreading the messages have either been compromised by hackers or have been created by hackers with the purpose of spreading the dangerous links.""There's a real danger that if Twitter users have not properly protected their PCs, and unless they are warned of the risk, that many people will click on the links without suspecting that they are putting their computer and personal data at risk," warned Cluley.The best advice is to not click ANY links from people you don't usually interact with online. The wording can easily change to "did you really do this?" or something else designed to get you to click, so don't click ANY of these links.Why are we so concerned about what you do/do not click on Twitter? When your account is compromised, hackers can send @mentions and DMs to the rest of us and we may click those links thinking it's a genuine heads up coming from a trusted source. So, you're not only putting yourself at risk, but those you interact with on Twitter when you fall for these scams.You can learn more about this outbreak on the Sophos website.Have you seen these tweets going around?(Malware alert image from Shutterstock) Sharehttp://adweek.it/2jGyVTw copy Adweek Adweek

Northumbria Police is reminding people to be cautious when responding to items for sale advertised via social media.
This follows a recent incident when an iPhone 6 was advertised for sale via Facebook Messenger.
The seller arranged to meet the purchaser on a street in Blyth last Saturday evening.
He handed over £150 and was given an iPhone box. The seller then quickly left and when the buyer opened the box, he found it was empty.
PC Steve Preston said: "We would ask shoppers to be extra vigilant at this time of year and not to let the thought of what appears to be a bargain affect your usual care and common sense.
"If something seems too good to be true, it likely is.
"These fraudsters play on the vulnerability of members of the public to con them out of cash and often they can be very convincing in their tactics.
"If anyone does have any concerns, or believes they may have been a victim, we would ask them to get in contact with us."
Northumbria Police can be contacted on 101 – for the aforementioned offence, quote reference 977 of 25/11/17.
Alternatively, information can be passed on to the independent charity Crimestoppers anonymously by calling 0800 555111.

As the year comes to a close, Booker Group has announced the reshuffling of its board of directors and audit committee.
Bryn Satherley will step down as Group Operations Director next April, following 10 years with the British food wholesaler. Her successor will be Guy Farrant, who is currently Managing Director of Booker Wholesale.
Farrant will take on the role of Chief Operating Officer, while Satherley's other responsibilities will be split between members of the executive team.
"Bryn has done a brilliant job for Booker Group. He has decided to retire but will remain a good friend of Booker and we wish him all the very best in the future" said Booker Chief Executive Charles Wilson.
Further changes include the appointment of Gary Hughes, a senior member of the operational excellence team at Apax Partners as Booker's new Non-Executive Director. In addition, Hughes is Non-Executive Director of Premier Farnell, Majid Al Futtaim Retail, SECC and the Scottish Football Association. Other roles include Chief Financial Officer of Gala Coral Group and Finance Director of Emap.
"We are delighted to welcome Gary to the board. His extensive experience in finance and operational roles in a number of industries will provide a valuable addition to the Company as we continue our journey to focus, drive and broaden Booker" commented Booker Chairman Stewart Gilliland.
Hughes is set to join the audit and remuneration committee at Booker today. He will replace Andrew Cripps who has held the role of Booker's Non-Executive Director since November 2007. Cripps, who also chairs Booker's audit committee will step down from the board by the end of 2016. Hughes will succeed this role also.

"We were waiting for a policy on land in excess of the 24.2-acre ceiling. The new township policy has clearly outlined what needs to be done. This is a great opportunity for developers focused on affordable housing segment.We have begun evaluating opportunities towards Kalyani Expressway," said Siddha Group managing director Sanjay Jain.
Apart from the minimum 50-acre stipulation, the policy states that 75% of the land must be used for residential units and rest can be developed commercially to set up markets, hospitals, schools, offices etc. Of the 75% earmarked for residential, a quarter has to be earmarked for houses for economically weaker sections (EWS) and another quarter for a socio economic activity like healthcare or sports infrastructure or any theme for that township. The remaining half of this pie can be used for MIG and HIG housing.
The policy allows a single party to procure land after procuring prior permission from the government or aggregation of land parcels by multiple land holders. It also allows purchase of land by a company with a declaration that no force was used to procure it. The policy also allows inclusion of vested land on long-term lease.
The state government itself plans to auction government land for development of such townships by private firms. "The state government has identified 447 acre for six theme-based townships in Kalyani, Bolpur, Dabgram, Asansol, Dumurjala and Baruipur.Tenders have already been floated for 'Uttam City' in Baruipur," an urban department official said.
Merlin Group managing director Sushil Mohta, who is also the eastern region chairman of Confederation of Real Estate Developers Association of India (Credai), expects at least 10 developers to announce projects in line with the policy by mid-2016.
"Before the government came out with the policy, it had through Credai taken stock of developers that were really keen on such large projects. At the time, nearly 20 members had expressed interest. Half of them should be announcing something within six months," said Mohta.
It was Credai that had initially mooted the proposal to catalyse growth in the housing sector that has been passing through a slump for three years now. While there is an oversupply in the premium housing segment, affordable housing is still in demand.
"This policy was essential to spur formated development in Rajarhat. At present, the growth is haphazard. Once a township is planned, infrastructure can be developed accordingly. I expect the city to grow beyond Rajarhat to the east, Bariupur to the south, Joka to the south-west, Howrah to the south and Belghoria Expressway to the north," said Mohta.
Credai is also pushing for group housing projects on land parcels between 5 cre and 24 acre to give the industry and housing further impetus. "It is very difficult for an individual developer to consolidate 50 acres. The fund requirement to purchase the land will be huge. I hope government looks at group housing projects where mid-sized developers can also participate," Mohta explained.

Budget Busted? Pay Off Your Debt in 2016
Getting out of debt can be a big and almost overwhelming goal. It's not a fast process and it takes a lot of dedication, but it is worth it in the end!
So where do you begin?
First start by getting an accurate picture of where you stand. Gather up all of your recent debt statements. This includes credit cards, car loans, student loans, any personal loans or other big ticket items, and your mortgage.
Run your credit report. You can request a free copy every year at www.annualcreditreport.com from all three credit bureaus. This is a great time to check for any mistakes and make sure that every debt on your credit report is included in your list.
Make a debt payoff plan. Create a spreadsheet with all of your debt information. Include the name of the debt, total balance, interest rate, and minimum payment.
Now figure out what order you want to attack your debt. Some organize them from lowest to highest balance, while others prefer to pay off the debt with the highest interest rate first.
Whatever you decide, here's the trick: Once you pay off your first debt, combine that payment with the second debt. Now you're paying a lot more then the minimum and it just keeps growing as you go!
Look for ways to keep throwing money at your payoff. Sell unused items around the house, have a yard sale, clip coupons, or get a part-time job. Just do whatever it takes to keep your momentum up!
Get the whole family involved. Make getting out of debt a family goal! Put your payoff on the fridge and count down. Let the kids help with the family budget. When everyone understands what you're working toward, they'll be more likely to cooperate when the budget is tight.
And how can you find a few extra dollars toward your debt payoff? Save on your monthly insurance costs! SAV-ON can help. Call us at 888-867-2866 for a quote on your auto, home, business, and life insurance today.

The average cost of a Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol or Drugs (DUI) conviction is $10,000. Is it worth that extra drink at the party?
Some sobering facts about impaired driving during the holidays:
Most of us can't afford to spend $10,000 on court costs and attorney fees, so heed the advice of law enforcement to "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" this holiday season!

- • If you are hosting a party where alcohol is being served, you can be held financially responsible for any damage caused by impaired guests after they leave your event.
- • Take the keys from everyone when they get their first drink.
- • Choose one person in the group to be the designated driver, who will not consume any more alcohol.
- • Bring cash for a cab (or take a cab to the event).
- • Get a ride from Uber or Lyft.
- • Call a sober friend or family member to give you a ride home.
- • Stick with a "one drink per hour" rule if simultaneously eating food.
Most of us can't afford to spend $10,000 on court costs and attorney fees, so heed the advice of law enforcement to "Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over" this holiday season!

Our Michigan child injury attorneys are reporting bicycle injury facts found by safekids.org. According to safekids.org:
- Since 1999 an average of 127 children (ages 14 and under) were killed as cyclists each year.
- In 2009, 229,811 children were treated in emergency departments for cycle-related injuries.
- More children ages 5-14 are seen in emergency departments for injuries related to biking than any other sport.
- Apart from automobiles, bicycles are tied to more childhood injuries than any other consumer product.
- In 2009, 91% of bicyclists (of all ages) killed were not wearing a helmet.
2009 National Injuries by product, ages 0-14
- Bicycle & Accessories: 59.59%
- Skateboards: 16.59%
- Scooters (non-motorized): 11.94%
- Skates: 9.88%
- In-line Skates: 2.01%
Helmet Statistics And Injury Prevention Facts
Helmet use is the single most effective way to reduce bicycle related fatalities. Universal bike helmet use among children (ages 14 and under) would prevent an estimated 212-294 deaths and 382,000-529,000 injuries per year. In addition, universal use of helmets by children ages 4-15 could prevent between 39,000-45,000 head injuries and 18,000-55,000 scalp and face injuries per year.
FREE Child Injury Book By Michigan child injury Lawyer
Our own book written by Michigan child injury lawyer Lawrence J. Buckfire, "Little Kids, BIG ACCIDENTS," is a parents' guide to child injury cases in Michigan. It educates parents and guardians, in plain English, about the legal rights of injured children in Michigan. We'll send it to you for FREE!
Statute of Limitations For Michigan Child bicycle injury Lawsuits
The statute of limitations for Michigan child injury cases varies from case to case. In Michigan, a lawsuit must be filed by the child's 19th birthday before the case is lost. This allows the child to make his/her own decisions after becoming a legal adult to file a lawsuit. If the case involves injuries to a younger child, it is usually not a good idea to wait that long to file a lawsuit due to the difficulty of finding witnesses and other evidence that is necessary to prove and win your case. It is important to contact an attorney as soon as possible even if you are only considering filing a lawsuit so that the claims are not later destroyed due to a missed deadline.
Our No Fee Promise For Michigan Child bicycle injury Cases
We will represent you in your Michigan child injury case under our Michigan bicycle injury NO FEE PROMISE. This means that you will not be charged any legal fees whatsoever unless we obtain a settlement or recovery for you. You have absolutely no obligation for legal fees unless we win your case. If we do not obtain a settlement for you, you owe us nothing!

Custom Portrait Photography
If you are looking for a custom portrait photographer, you have come to the right place.
In the age of All Things Digital, I find that most of my clients are past customers of photographers that only provide digital files. These files are then stored on a USB or harddrive and never made into the fine art pieces they have the potential to be.
I hope to provide my clients with an experience as well as a photo session. Each session includes a personalized consult on clothing choice and your vision for your shoot - as well as a personalized photo reveal and ordering session where you can choose your archival-quality products. We offer a wide range of canvas/metal print options, as well as traditional gift prints.
Displaying your beautiful photographs and memories in your home for all to see is somewhat of a lost art. Please contact me with any questions - the initial consultation is free!

This colorway can be highly variable, so feel free to give us a call for a current description of what we have, or if you have any questions about the color.
This colorway is a Babette: every skein and every batch is a bit different, but Babs has a method of recreating these artistic colorways. The photograph is an example of representative skeins from this colorway; the skein you receive may differ somewhat.

Individuals , groups like vigilante, neghbourhood watch group, town Unions hunters, night watch men among many others in
possession of all categories of illegal fire arms have been given twenty one days to surrender them to the Commissioner of Police.
The State Commissioner of Police Mr. Garba Umar made the call at the Police Headquarters Awambia .
Groups or associations under any capacity or guise other than statutory security agencies recognized and gazatted by the Federal Government of Nigeria in all the twenty one local government areas of the state currently in possession or using prohibited and illegal fire arms for whatever purpose who fail to submit theirs, according to the Commissioner of police, if found shall be arrested investigated and prosecuted.
The Police Commissioner sought the cooperation and support of all law abiding citizens in the enforcement of the directive .
Mr. Umar said that to ensure an effective mop up exercise the command has set up a nine man committee to be chaired by ACP Baba Maiyaki.
He counted some categories of fire arms affected in the mop up to include artillery , Rocket weapons , bomb and grenades, revolvers and pistols , pump action and any other firearm or lethal weapon fabricated to kill.

For many considering themselves relevant in the art of music blogging, bro to bro discussion and pressing 'like' buttons as a form of communication, Fuck Yeah Fest has only recently streamed through the thousands of psyches that attended. While FYF is essentially a collective of bands pushing through performance glitches and playing good fucking music, individuals coping with rising temperatures and even a few displays of unnecessary physical violence, it has the potential to house an absolute emotional response, certain factors considered.
The notions of a "music festival" can be agreed, by the general populous, as a gathering; an outlet for a large mass of people to share an experience. This agreement, albeit positive, is inherently flawed. Sure, every thing would be all fine and dandy if we could slap five with every member of the human race because "Wavves may be a dick but he can totally kill it when he wants to." but the reality is this is not possible. For reality is relative .
Question: How relative is reality?
Answer: Really relative. Like, really, really fucking relative. Sooooo fucking relative.
This is a hard concept to grasp, so I understand if this answer appears shocking to you. Let me show you how, through synchronicity of desirable sanctions in matter and place, one can attain a zen of festival proportions. I shall use Fuck Yeah Fest as my buffer. Consider this the ideal fest.
I. The Point of Insertion: Time Approximated at 1:53 pm
You must forget everything that you find necessary. You must not be bounded by tickets or sunblock. You must remove yourself from daily rationale. The wave of people and the high heat that occupy this realm are integral to the first step. You must wait, and if necessary, refer to the nearby ice cream truck for occasional grounding.
During your wait, start tempting your mind with the absolute IMPROBABLE.
This line is futile. In fact, even this being will call, those without tickets shall get in much faster.
Even more so, this line shall prove an exercise in futility, as staff will simply hand you a ticket with no information necessary.
The rift has begun.
II. A Push Beyond Boundaries: Time Approximated at 4:15
You have entered the festival and, without knowing, begun to slip through dimensions. You reconvene with your small collective of like minded brethren. While you witness AA Bondy, they know something is adrift, but what it is they know not.
III. A Seam Unsealed: Time Approximated at 6:30
THINGS ARE DIFFERENT. You are beginning to see. You are no longer bounded by the effects of others and you must prove it. YOU NEED BEER.
This may seem like an insignificant detour, but rest assured this is necessary. This beer will be god's elixer running through you, a wake up call to your mind's eye, it's a god damn golden ticket to Willy Wonka's factory, the untouchable entity, every 36 spices in Dr. Pepper, it's your happiness SkyNet, threatening to eradicate any bummer technology. Sure, you're going to miss Dead Man's Bones for this, but your mind has expanded beyond the concept of missing or witnessing. In this state Unbroken is the end all, be all because any sound is good if you make it so.
If all of this has been successful, your day should look like this:
Congratulations on incepting yourself the perfect fest. For every future festival, please repeat steps accordingly.
Delorean – Real Love (mp3)
The Rapture – I Need Your Love (mp3)
!!! – The Most Certain Sure (mp3)
Cold Cave – Life Magazine (Delorean Remix) (mp3)
PS: Be safe out there, guys. Always remember to drink an abundance of water, bring your totem, and never faint, despite how tingly Delorean may make you. Also, be aware of your surroundings. If FYF has shown me anything it's that, at any moment, you can be tackled or severely stomach slapped for dancing/walking/observing.

On May 29, 2006, everything changed for the Indonesian district of Sidoarjo. It was here, just 30 minutes outside of Surabaya—on land populated by farmers, shrimpers, and small residential communities—that Indonesian oil and gas company PT Lapindo Brantas set up a gas exploration project looking for new, exploitable domestic resources.
What the company hit upon on this fateful day, however, was something else entirely. As Lapindo Brantas was drilling at its Banjar-Panji well, it triggered a massive mud volcano—one now known to the world as the Lapindo mudflow—the 21st century's greatest industrial disaster. Its outpouring of volcanic sludge swallowed 14 villages and displaced tens of thousands of people. It poisoned surrounding ecosystems and destroyed regional infrastructure. East Java's once thriving economy was all but ruined.
Since this tragedy began, the only thing greater than the Indonesian government's failure to support the victims has been Lapindo Brantas's relentless drive to downplay and evade responsibility. The fact that billionaire businessman and politician Aburizal Bakrie (then Coordinating Minister for People's Welfare) claims co-ownership of the company explains why an emboldened Lapindo has continued to get away with this crime while the Indonesian government stands by, complicit in its inaction.
One of only a few floating cranes, seen helplessly shoveling mud onto a 'wall' in an effort to prevent the flow from reaching neighboring areas
Despite recent global interest in issues of corporate accountability, environmental stewardship, and the rights of marginalized communities, international civil society has not yet turned its attention to the plight of Sidoarjo. As a result, Sidoarjo's dispossessed have been left on their own—without homes, jobs, possessions, or compensation.
More information on this disaster may be found at Portal Korban Lumpur, or conducting a search for «Sijoardo» at the Jakarta Post. In addition, Al Jazeera did an excellent in-depth documentary on the issue titled "People & Power: Muddy Justice:"
Well-known Indonesian educator and author Gus Maksum, displaced by the disaster along with his village of Jatirejo, has also been a vocal proponent for the need to recognize the social, cultural and environmental impact of the catastrophe.
In Titanic Made by Lapindo, his remarkable first-hand account of this unimaginable catastrophe, Maksum exposes the role of public officials, environmental scientists, members of the press, "disaster tourists," and Lapindo Brantas representatives as they all swarm to Sidoarjo in an attempt to capitalize on the spectacle of East Java's industrial mudflow. Recalling events that unfolded during the first year of the disaster, the author weaves tones of deep emotion, incredulity, and unabashed humor as he tells the story of a community struggling to preserve social and cultural ties—as well as dignity—in the face of sorrow, stress, uncertainty and loss.
Too few people know about the disaster and its survivors' quest for just compensation and support, so Maksum believes that the quickest path to bringing an end to the injustice committed against the people and ecology of Sidoarjo is to tell the world about its existence. Originally published in Indonesian in 2007, Titanic Made by Lapindo is now available in English for global audiences from the non-profit Jogjakarta-based publisher, Lafadl Initiatives.
Lafadl Initiatives' website includes an excerpt from the book, pictures, and updates. Lafadl Initiatives has also released a pamphlet for "Titanic Made by Lapindo" (part of its Sharing Voices, Sharing Lives book series) and an organizational brochure.
For those who want to learn even more about Sidoarjo, please contact Lafadl Initiatives at: kantor (at) lafadl.org. Titanic Made by Lapindo may be ordered as either a traditional print book or an iBook. To order a version for iPhone, visit this site.

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Italian airline Alitalia and Etihad Airways are expected to win EU regulatory clearance for their tie-up by the end of the year with minor concessions, a person familiar with the matter said on Tuesday.
Abu Dhabi-based Etihad clinched a deal last month to buy 49 percent of loss making Alitalia in a 1.76-billion-euro ($2.31 billion) rescue plan, giving it access to Europe's fourth-largest travel market and 25 million passengers.
Cash-rich Etihad, which has minority stakes in Air Berlin AB1.DE, Ireland's Aer Lingus AERL.I, Virgin Australia (VAH.AX) and other global airlines, would be the largest single shareholder in Alitalia after the deal.
"The deal is expected to be notified to the European Commission this month. It should be conditional, phase-one clearance," said the person, who declined to be named because of the sensitivity of the matter.
A phase-one review by the EU antitrust authority lasts 25 working days, which is extended by 10 additional working days if companies offer concessions to allay competition concerns.
The Commission's spokesman for competition policy, Antoine Colombani, and Etihad declined to comment. Alitalia was not immediately available for comment.
The source said the airlines may have to give up some airport slots or overlapping routes should the Commission have concerns that the deal may reduce competition.
Etihad has daily flights from Abu Dhabi to Rome and Milan, while Alitalia operates five flights a week from Rome to Abu Dhabi.
In previous airline deals, EU regulators have forced carriers to surrender rights over slots, grant traffic rights and open up their frequent flyer programmes to rivals.
The Etihad deal will also need to comply with EU rules ensuring that European companies own more than 50 percent of EU airlines and have operational control.
A second source with direct knowledge of the Commission's working say Italian authorities were cooperating with the regulator and may receive the green light next year. The Etihad deal does not need this approval before it is implemented.
Existing Alitalia shareholders, including state-owned Poste Italiane, will group their holdings in a so-called "mid-company" that will control 51 percent of the shares in the restructured airline.
($1 = 0.7624 euro)

Netbytes: Small talk is the next big thing for the twittering classes | Technology | guardian.co.uk: "When a plane slid off the runway in Denver on Sunday, Twitter users were among the first to hear about it, because someone who was on the plane sent a tweet – a Twitter message – that said: 'Holy fucking shit I was just in a plane crash!'
Twitter users were also among the first to hear about terrorist attacks in Mumbai, earthquakes in California, and Heath Ledger's death. And as more people sign up, there will more likely be Twitter users around whenever something newsworthy happens. It's like having a wire service with millions of reporters.
Twitter is a 'micro-blogging' service, but it's a more like a combination of instant messaging, social networking and SMS on steroids. You send messages with up to 140-characters, from either a PC or a mobile phone. But instead of going to a single person, they go to anyone who wants to listen: your followers. You, in turn, receive the messages sent by all the people you follow. The result is a stream of messages that you can dip into whenever you like."
Reasons why Twitter 'works'... even though at first glance you think it shouldn't.
PS No, I'm not going to predict that 2009 is going to be the year of Twitter. It may be, it may not be... but whatever happens, it's got some groovy uses and users... and it'll be interesting to see what gap next year's 'next big thing' tries to fill. Twitter does a good line in maintaining communication without making hard work of conversation when you're short of time. It taps into succinct ideas and is a near instant means of exploring an idea with your colleagues - no matter where your colleagues may be. It can range between a brief, thought-provoking discussion to being the text-based equivalent of a 'hi... you alright' nod to a friend. It spreads thoughts in a flash and it's damned useful, all things considered!
Twitter. It shouldn't work. But it does.

By Bucky Brennan
Sometimes in sports, the playmakers are overshadowed by the play-finishers. But this year, Stephanie Bordallo shines at the setting position as coaches throughout the IIAAG Girls Volleyball League have named her Most Valuable Player and member of the 2012 All-Island First Team.
On Monday, coaches from both divisions met at Simon Sanchez High School to make this year's selections. According to IIAAG by laws, coaches may nominate their own players, but cannot cast their one vote per position for their own players. (Coaches select the MVP from the first team selectees and in that vote, can select their players).
Joining Academy's Bordallo on the First Team are her Cougar teammates: Ladera Linn (outside hitter), Gemilie Ilao (right side hitter), and Celeste Guarin (libero), the remaining three 2012 All-Island position honors go to Sanchez's Edelene Cruz (outside hitter) and Giselle Kho (middle blocker), and St. John's Destiny Castro (middle blocker).
Stephanie Bordallo – Setter, Senior, Academy Cougars
Bordallo was a big part of the Cougars' Best League Record Performance. While it helps having a productive offense, Bordallo's setting took the Cougars to another level as in any rotation, they are dangerous. Bordallo excelled in a roll often overlooked as the booming kills and daring digs are the highlights that most appeal to fans. But often, without a GREAT setter like Bordallo, those things are absent. Bordallo's presence on the court brings a sense of calm to the chaos. Her release is so smooth and precise that hitters can base and alter their timing without having to worry about bad sets. This gave the Cougars the luxury of setting the pace of their games throughout the season. The pace and momentum in volleyball are valuable tools that teams vie for control over as when games are close, momentum shifts and pace changes could mean the difference between a victory and three-set loss. Bordallo, who was a 2nd Team All-Island setter last season, will lead the Cougars in their quest for the title as they look to avenge last year's championship game loss and second place finish.
Ladera Linn – Outside Hitter, Junior, Academy Cougars
As a junior, Linn is one of the most feared hitters in the league and a returning 1st Team All-Island member. Her approach and perfect contact with the ball every time make her a dangerous weapon any coach would love to have, but hate to face. When Ladera makes good contact (almost every time) her kills are pounded to open space and leave the defense little time to react. Linn has also shown her great mind for volleyball as several of her kills in the second half of the season came from finesse shots to open space. She has a knack for powering through blocks and has crushed many-a-kill off the tall blockers of league opponents. Ladera has also shown she's a valuable defensive asset as well. She covers lots of the back-court and reads hitters across the board. Look for Linn to be a powerhouse in the playoffs for the Cougars.
Gemilie Ilao – Right-Side Hitter, Junior, Academy Cougars
Ilao is another Cougar feared throughout the league who was a 2nd Team All-Island player a year ago. Playing opposite the setter, Ilao had the opportunity to swing and kill from the right side. On the court when needed, she was a setter if Bordallo was in trouble or out of the play. Ilao is a smart player who uses her knowledge of the game to dictate the plays she makes. She has a strong floating serve that racked up aces in several games. When in trouble, Ilao was a junior leader the Cougars could depend on to buckle down and get the big, tough points. Look to Ilao to be pivotal to Academy's success in the playoffs.
Celeste Guarin – Libero, Junior, Academy Cougars
Rounding out the four Cougars in the First Team is Celeste Guarin. Guarin plays libero, a commonly forgotten position. Coaches, however, could not forget Guarin's knack for being in the right place all the time. She seemed to be in tune with the Academy blockers and always moved to the space they left open. With the likes of Guarin in the back court, look for the Cougar's defense to be the highlight of their playoff hopes.
Edelene Cruz – Outside Hitter, Senior, Sanchez Sharks
As the defending champions, the Sharks finish atop the Taga Division in this year's regular season and are hungry for another championship. That hunger is evident in the play of Sanchez's senior captain Cruz, who was a 2nd Team Middle Blocker last year. She was not only a player on the Sharks team, she epitomizes everything they are. She is calm and collected, but also tough, powerful and willing to go toe-to-toe with anyone in the league. Cruz makes great contact, but hits smart. When the Sharks need a point or have to kill an opponent's momentum, you can bet that Cruz is in the mix. Cruz is also a mainstay in the back court. Loose balls rarely fall if she is in the vicinity. She commonly dives and risk body and limb to keep balls from falling on Sanchez's side of the net. Often times, this meant the difference in games as led by Cruz's example, the Sharks' defense was unparalleled among league opponents. Cruz's leadership and inspirational play will be essential to Sanchez's repeat-championship hopes.
Giselle Kho – Middle Blocker, Senior, Sanchez Sharks
The returning 1st Team All-Island selectee is another reason the Sharks finish the season in first. Her dominance at the net both on offense and defense are a constant headache for opponent coaching. Kho is also extremely agile which allows Sanchez to run complex moves and plays that confuse and eliminate opposition blockers from impacting their offense. Kho slides and can hit the low and quick sets, but also swings well when in the back row. Her dominating block closes many low-seam options for opposition hitters. When Kho's in the game, Sanchez's defense can protect the court with minimal effort as Kho's block does the rest. If her net-dominance continues, other teams will have a hard time finding offensive success when Kho's at the net.
Destiny Castro – Middle Blocker, Freshman, St. John's Knights
As the only freshman honored with All-Island First Team honors, Castro's performance in the regular season mesmerized many league coaches and fans alike. Castro's athletic ability makes her blocking presence not only effective, but also intimidating to league opponents. She is also a great passer and very tough on defense. When Castro is at the net, the Knights can run complex plays as she can hit the quick sets and the higher looping sets that call for her to slide. St. John's can only imagine how better she can be as she continues to develop as a player.

Wearing super old Forever 21 dress (similar here or here), Prada sunglasses, Sam Edelman sandals
This last weekend was one for the record books. Specifically, Saturday was one of the greatest days. A few girlfriends and I had been trying to plan a day trip out of the city for quite a while. Given that the two ladies i'd be traveling with worked in the wine industry, Napa felt more than appropriate. We left San Francisco at around 9am and made our way slowly through Bouchon bakery in Yountville, Olivier in St. Helena and Farmstead for lunch, into some of the most gorgeous wineries I had ever seen.
We visited Swanson, Raymond and Chandon wineries and couldn't help but snap a few pictures amidst the stunning vines.
I have the most beautiful friends and it makes me so happy to capture their pure joy in photos.
Cheers to many more girls' weekends this Summer!

On the eve of the new season, the hope and optimism are, in their own way, very entertaining to watch. There was, however, sad and sobering news this week in the form of an interview this week with Sir Bobby Robson, in which he confirmed that the lung cancer that he has been fighting is terminal, and that he has, at best, a few months left to live. Typically, Robson deals with the illness with class, grace and dignity:
I have accepted what they have told me and I am determined to make the most of what time I have left. I have been fortunate to survive this long. It is thanks to my doctors and their dedication. My condition is described as static and has not altered since my last bout of chemotherapy. They have arrested the growth of the tumours on my lungs and I have my next scan shortly. I am going to die sooner rather than later, but then everyone has to go sometime and I have enjoyed every minute. I don't even think about it and my biggest problem today was unrelated, just old-fashioned laryngitis. I am not going to sit around at home thinking about what might or might not happen. I have always found it difficult to turn down good causes and invitations from people I know. My family and close friends have always said I should say 'no' more often and now is no different.
Like the vast majority of managers, Robson's career wasn't universally successful, and by the end of his career he gave the impression of being a bystander as the dressing room at Newcastle United span out of control, but he was often harshly treated by the press and his employers. While in charge of England, he unfairly vilified by the English press while overseeing a comparative revival in the national team's fortunes which culminated in the national team almost securing an unlikely place in the World Cup final in 1990. He always gave the impression of being in a position, not of his own making, of having to fight these battles on two fronts, but was usually popular with supporters, who seemed to understand that he is, essentially, one of them – a lover of the game that had managed to find his way to the top of the inside of the game.
This battle had started early on in his time in charge when England failed to qualify for the finals of the 1984 European Championships, but few in the press had taken the time to appreciate just how good the Danish team that knocked them out actually were. Two years later, there were calls for his resignation after a poor start to the 1986 World Cup, but Robson's team flourished with two excellent performances against Poland and Paraguay, and were unfortunate not to at least take Argentina to extra-time in the quarter-finals. At Euro 88, there was more bad luck, with England deserving more from their performances in their opening two matches against Ireland and the Netherlands than to lose both of them and be knocked out, and solid performances against moderate opposition at the 1990 World Cup gave England possibly the best chance that they will ever have to win the World Cup again. The FA, however, treated him poorly, often failing to offer him public backing in the face of vicious and unjustified media attacks, and telling him before the 1990 World Cup that they would not be renewing his contract.
At club level, his record is best demonstrated by this graph. His transformation of Ipswich Town into UEFA Cup & FA Cup winners, as well as regular challengers to Liverpool in the league, was remarkable, turning a small town club into genuine contenders in an era in which the big city clubs dominated all before them. Post-England, he won two successive Dutch league championships with PSV, two successive Portuguese championships with Porto and a European Cup Winners Cup with Barcelona. His return to England to manage Newcastle United could easily have fallen flat, but he took them from the bottom of the Premier League to fourth place in 2002, and to third place in 2003. Newcastle don't look like making successive Champions Leagues again any time soon. He was, to the eternal shame of the club, sacked three weeks into the 2003/04 season. To cynics, he may looked "out of touch" by this time, but for many of us, this "out of touchness" was very much in touch. It is the spoilt brats of the Premier League who are out of touch, living in a vacuous bubble of celebrity and (often barely merited) fortune.
Robson, then, is one of the game's good guys – one of us, and one sometimes get the feeling that there aren't many of his type left. The word "character" is thrown around far too casually these days, but it's no overstatement, so say that Sir Bobby Robson is, genuinely, one of the game's great characters. With this in mind, it is probably fitting to finish with this excerpt from an interview with Shola Ameobi:
Reporter: 'Do you have a nickname?'
Ameobi: 'No, not really'
Reporter: 'So what does Bobby Robson call you?'
Ameobi: 'Carl Cort.'
A class act.

Are you not able to decide the gift you want to give to your loved one? Is he/she also happens to be a rider? Is he/she fond of motorcycles? Does he/she get the tingling sensation when an 'alter' 125 passes by? Does he/she aspire to be a 125 rider and make respect for themselves? Does he/she want a one-two-five? Then worry no more. We have found the perfect gift for you.
This is the world's smallest 125 we've seen yet. It is an scale model of the Honda CG125 but since the motorcycle, only has the cult status in Pakistan, thus, no one else has made a scale model for a motorcycle, more famous for street and other crimes rather its performance or reliability.
In the video, you can see that the suspension to be in working condition but the engine seems to be 'ceased'.
Just don't strike a wheelie on this one please.

Young women are finally having their day. With Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur holding firmly to its bestseller position—both in hardcover and paperback—there's been a renewed interest in poetry, particularly in young adults. As a bookseller and poetry buff, seeing young women coming into the store every day and heading for the poetry section has been gratifying and heartwarming, if I'm honest.
Many ask me for recommendations after finishing Milk and Honey. I have a few standbys (which will be discussed here at some point). Neon Soul, a new release from Alexandra Elle, just shot to the top of my recommendation list.

Another hiker was lost and later rescued at Kalapana attempting to view the lava up close.
There are clear boundaries set by the Parks people that establishes where people are suppose to go and not go.
"…The 43-year-old woman told rescuers via cellphone she left a designated viewing area to get a closer look at the lava ocean entry point…"
Idiots who travel beyond that point deserve to be "lost".
Hawaii 24-7 has the article on todays lost hiker:
…Firefighters hiked three-quarters of a mile to the hiker and made contact via flashlight more than a mile away from her. Due to darkness and the harsh terrain the hiker was told to stay put and Chopper One was dispatched with with a rescueman to retrieve her. The uninjured hiker was flown to Highway 130, examined by medics and turned over to police…
I hate it when our tax money is wasted on rescuing stupid idiots that break rules. I hope the police are doing something about this and that the hiker will have to pay for this rescue and not are tax dollars.
