'The National Parks: America's Best Idea'
"The National Park: America's Best Idea" is the next great installment from the genius of documentary-maker Ken Burns. The six-episode series will air on PBS and PBS.org. It was directed by Burns and written and co-produced by Dayton Duncan.
Filmed over a six-year span at some of the country's most beautiful and spectacular locations like Yellowstone and the Grand Canyon, "The National Park: America's Best Idea" is a story of the American people from every conceivable background. Stories of the people around the country that devote themselves to saving some of the precious portions of the land they loved.
If this series is anything like Ken Burns' previous projects, then we know it will be good! And we're excited to see the amazing footage of our beautiful country.

At first, I was puzzled by the varying level of detail in the images, but after spending some time with them, I think that Witzel was good at giving to each what it needed. The woman's blue dress trails perfectly around the poem, the mother and daughter form a complementary whole. the shadows create a mystery. It would be nice to know about the artist, but the is good enough to hodl its own place.

Thanks for the information on Jugend. I'd like to find a full gallery of Ver Sacrum somewhere. Their art had a distinctively Viennese style, whereas Jugend was all over the place.

Not too late at all! Witzel likely expected his audience to get the reference. I'm embarrassed that I didn't as I took a course in ancient Greek religion in college. Thanks so much your clarity, Hagai Aviel.

Pharming, and the threat of identity theft
The pharmers and phishers are after your precious financial infor-mation. We'll show you how to protect your interests.
Phishing is the art of tricking unsuspecting Internet users into giving up personal and financial information. This nefarious game has brought big rewards to a new generation of cyber con men. But phishing is only one of several tools in a bigger bag of tricks. This article examines some popular techniques for identity theft and shows what you can do to stay ahead of the threat. Phishing and Pharming Phishing uses tricks like spoofed email to tempt unsuspecting users into visiting rogue sites, where they are asked to enter personal data such as passwords or PIN numbers. Phishing attacks occur in two phases: in Phase One, the user is tricked into visiting the attacker's web server. Attackers use various initial vectors to attract victims. In Phase Two, the user is prompted to enter the personal data. This part of the attack is often referred to as visual spoofing. The best known initial vectors are email spoofing and cross site scripting (XSS), where the attacker misuses the website of a trusted third party to initiate the attack. In all of these cases, the attack relies on the victim playing along and would fail without the victim's compliance.

$300 is a lot to pay for boat shoes but not a lot for the return of an old friend. I bought my last pair 30 years ago for $65 and still have them, ripped seams, cracked leather, and all. My new ones are as well made as my last pair. Thank you Sperry for still making them like you used to in Maine.

Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site Management Plan opens for consultation
14 October 2013
The public's views on the next five year Management Plan for the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site are being sought through an eight week public consultation, launched today (14th October 2013).
The partnership plan will provide a broad framework for the management, conservation and enhancement of the World Heritage Site from 2014-19.
The Heart of Neolithic Orkney represents one of the most important surviving Neolithic landscapes in Western Europe and is comprised of six sites that are masterpieces of design and construction: the Skara Brae settlement; the chambered tomb of Maeshowe and the Barnhouse Stone; the Stones of Stenness and the Watch Stone and the Ring of Brodgar and associated monuments.
The area became a World Heritage Site in 1999 and since then a group of partners comprising of Historic Scotland, Orkney Islands Council, the RSPB and Scottish Natural Heritage have worked together to safeguard the special qualities, values, authenticity and integrity of the Site.
Working in partnership, these bodies have already delivered several key projects to protect and promote the site including the construction of a new pathway to improve pedestrian access between the monuments on the Stenness-Brodgar peninsula; holding an international symposium on research into Neolithic Orkney; and ensuring the World Heritage Site and Buffer Zone are protected by policies in the new Local Development Plan.
The publication of the plan follows a consultation with partners, stakeholders and the local community which took place at the beginning of the year. This included facilitator-led workshops and a review of the delivery of the 2008-13 plan.
Alice Lyall, the Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site Coordinator said:
"This is an extraordinary place, showcasing the creative genius of the Neolithic people who built and used the monuments 5000 years ago, predating both the pyramids and Stonehenge. This plan is designed to safeguard the 'Outstanding Universal Value' of the Site, the aspects that make it so special and of importance not only to Orkney and to Scotland but to people all around the world, for the future.
The site continues to fascinate as it is like entering into another world - the people who lived here and placed these stones remain shrouded in mystery.
"The plan outlines a vision and long term strategy for the site and identifies key issues for the 2014-19 period, proposing sustainable ways to tackle them. The consultation provides the public with the opportunity to have their say on how we do this over the next five years."
Orkney Islands Council's Development and Marine Planning Manager, Stuart West, said:
"The monuments that make up the World Heritage Site are very special and are valued highly by the people of Orkney and visitors alike. An up to date Management Plan and continued partnership working are of fundamental importance to ensuring that the site is effectively preserved; that the setting of the monuments and the supporting infrastructure can be developed in an appropriate and sympathetic manner and to guide and encourage future research so that the nature of the site and its importance can be more readily understood."
Notes for editors
Historic Scotland is an executive agency of the Scottish Government charged with safeguarding the nation's historic environment. The agency is fully accountable to Scottish Ministers and through them to the Scottish Parliament. For more information visit
The Heart of Neolithic Orkney World Heritage Site Management Plan can be found on the Historic Scotland website from the 14th October 2013 at
All the sites that comprise the World Heritage Site are in the care of Historic Scotland on behalf of Scottish Ministers.
The World Heritage Site and its Buffer Zone are managed in Partnership with Orkney Islands Council, Scottish Natural Heritage and the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds.
As part of its World Heritage Status, UNESCO guidelines require management plans to be drawn up every five years.
Skara Brae is a domestic settlement whose stone walls, passageways and stone furnishings, such as beds and dressers, survive to the present day. Maeshowe, a chambered tomb is an extraordinary example of Neolithic architectural genius. It was designed to allow the setting sun at the winter solstice to shine up the passageway and illuminate the chamber. The Stones of Stenness circle and henge is a very early example of this type of monument. The surviving stones are enormous , standing upt to 6 metres in height. The Ring of Brodgar is a great stone circle 130 metres across.

Due to public feedback, Isle of Wight County now plans to include the new stormwater fee in the annual real estate tax bill.
The fee, $72 a year for residential property owners, will be a separate line item, labeled "fee" on the real estate tax bill that goes out in April.
County officials had originally planned to send out a separate bill beginning early next year, similar to personal property tax notices.
Commercial property owners have already been notified about the amount of their fee for the first year.
The Board of Supervisors held a work session Thursday to address the new state-mandated program that has raised the ire of residents, business owners and public officials alike across the Commonwealth.

Lines of customers snaked around storefronts as many braced for the worst.
When Reading, Massachusetts, resident Elizabeth Frazier arrived at a grocery store late Thursday night, shoppers were already buying up the store.
"It's a zoo in there," she said. "There's nothing left on the shelves," she told CNN affiliate WHDH.
Governors across New England and New York have declared states of emergency, and all cars and trucks -- except emergency vehicles -- must now be off Massachusetts and Connecticut roadways. A similar ban in Rhode Island took effect at 5 p.m.
Violating that ban could incur a penalty of up to a year in jail and a $500 fine.
By Friday night, the storm had already led to hundreds of cancellations of public school classes to sporting events. The storm even prompted the cancellation of ACT tests, for would-be college students, around the Northeast.
Utility companies tried to get a head start on the storm, by having additional crews ready to respond to outages caused by downed power lines.
The fear is that, as happened after Sandy, such outages could persist for days. Still, for all the alarms being raised, the mayor of Boston -- which forecasters expected would be the city hardest hit by the storm -- said he expected residents of his community and others to hunker down and weather the storm.
Said Mayor Thomas Menino, "We are hardy New Englanders."

Sorry, everyone, but The Patch in the Midwest Region has been dismantled. Cleveland, St. Louis,…Read MoreIowa , etc. are also "zomibie patches" without Local Editors. That's why I left in April after I saw the writing on the wall. You won't find local news stories like you once did, but you can still utilize this site as a "message board" for community announcements. It saddens me that this has happened, but it had nothing to do with our readers and reporters. Thanks for all of your support over the years. -Mike

I have stayed at a few hotels in Santiago which are in apartment buildings. This one is spacious for Santiago standards, well appointed, and very... conveniently located in a very safe and popular area. The staff in the office were extremely friendly and helpful. A gentleman even helped us carry baggage to the room and offered to set up a pack and play crib. If you don't speak Spanish, Matias in the office speaks excellent English. We didn't go to breakfast, but the hotel apparently has an arrangement with a nearby cafe because we were given coupons. All of this much nicer than the other apartments I have tried in Santiago. They have free wifi and free parking. The Santa Magdalena was such a pleasant surprise! We will certainly stay there again. Sett inn af Jillian frá Viña del Mar, Chile frá 15.06.2013

Darlington 5 Consett 0 - match report: http://bit.ly/St5xOD
GAME OVER. South Africa win by seven wickets after finishing with a single courtesy of Jaques Kallis to reach 119-3 with one over to spare.
Kallis went on to reach 48 not out from 44 balls along with Jean-Paul Duminy who finished with 47 - a partnership of 90 from 91 deliveries.
A disappointing afternoon following a frustrating summer for England, who need to improve in the final two matches of the NatWest Series to build up confidence ahead of the World Cup.
After 16.3 overs South Africa are 100-3 - at the same stage England were 87-7.
Safe to say that AB de Villiers is the skipper going to taste success in the first of these threeTwenty20 NatWest Series internationals.
Official crowd came through at the Durham Emirates ICG of 8,826.
Disappointing for an England international in September. Plenty to pay for, plenty games, other sports, but still ...
Ashes next August is already a sell-out, by the way.
Kieswetter almost took one in the head there from Bairstow's throw. The wicket keeper's duck just prevented the ball from bouncing straight off his unprotected head.
He's smiling now, but it's fair to say he wouldn't have been!
Graeme Swann has finished his spell of four overs without a wicket and at a cost of 16 runs.
Finn, meanwhile, has also stopped and took a wicket for 22 runs.
South Africa have seven wickets left and require 32 runs off 36 balls.
FT: Hartlepool 1 Carlisle 2. last 15 minutes the difference, Pools were in control, the n conceded, had a man sent off, a defender off injured and never looked comfortable from it.

FT : Darlington 5 Consett 0: Darlington return to the top of the table thanks to goals from Amar Purewal (15 seconds), David Dowson (37 minutes and 39), Chris Emms (50) and Shaun Reay (81).
Considering England's total was the third worst T20 they have recorded, worth pointing out that that up to the end of the sixth over they are doing better than the tourists.
England were 40/1 at the end of the power play while at the same stage South Africa are 40/3.
It was at this point Kieswetter departed and things deteriorated for England.
GOAL: Matty Robson, ex Hartlepool , scores to put Carlisle in front, low angled shot across Flinders . Pools 1-2 Carlisle
GOAL: Shaun Reay makes it 5-0 in the 81st minute.
All going on at Hartlepool .
It's 1-1 after Cadamarteri levelled for Carlisle , tapping in from close range after a free kick was parried by Flinders. That was 75 mins.
On 76, Austin was sent-off - second booking for a tug on Symington. And Hartley is going off injured with Baldwin coming on.
Game has died a death since Chris Emms made it 4-0 to Darlington . Both teams are going through the motions. Adam Nicholls has just tried his luck from 20 yards, but the effort sailed wide of the Consett goal. 15 minutes to play.
Attendance at #Darlington v #Consett is 1,287, that's around 300 less than for the Dunston home game a week last Friday evening. #echosport
— @CStoddartEcho 08 September 2012
WICKET: 29/3 de Villiers c Kieswetter b Derbach 10
De Villiers drove without moving his feet and the edge fell kindly for Kieswetter to hold from Dernbach's length ball.
Looking decent for England at this stage, as Jean-Paul Duminy walks up.
Attendance at Darlington v Consett is 1,287, that's around 300 less than for the Dunston home game a week last Friday evening. The 4-1 defeat to Guisborough on Wednesday has obviously had an impact on some of the floating fans. By contrast, Gateshead versus Dartford today has attracted 758.
WICKET: South Africa 14/2 du Plessis lbw b Finn 4
Steven Finn justified his inclusion despite a back problem by sending du Plessis back to the pavillion after just three balls.
In comes the skipper ... AB de Villiers
There'll be no hat-trick for David Dowson today as he's been replaced by Shaun Reay. Darlington have now made all their substitutions with Steven Johnson and Adam Clough on for
Darren Richardson and Amar Purewal.
Consett have replaced left-winger Harrison Davies with number 17....who isn't on the team sheet.
63 minutes gone at Heritage Park, still 4-0 to Darlington.
WICKET: South Africa 9/1 Levi c Swann b Dernbach 8
A decent length ball from Derbach was chopped to slip and caught well by Swann.
Faf du Plessis has moved in for the tourists and England must build on that breakthrough.
Update from Holland. Update from Holland!
Graeme Storm has slipped up, slightly.
His strong lead has been erased today and, despite a one under third round, he will go in to the final round tomorrow tied for the lead.
The Hartlepool golfer suffered his first bogeys of the KLM Open today by bogeying the 13th and 14th which ensured those below him could catch him.
Now Storm sits level with Pablo Larrazabal, Scott Jamieson and Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano on 12 under ahead of the action tomorrow.
Sweden's Peter Hanson is a shot further back, so all to play for still for Storm.
GOAL: Darlington go 4-0 up against Consett in the 50th minute and what a goal it was, achip by Chris Emms following a pass by Adam Nicholls at the end of a counter-attack. Emms had tie and pace to take a touch, but he took the shot first time and the ball dropped sweetly into the net from 18 yards.
Bit of a delay in getting this update to you. Gremlins in the system perhaps.
Jervis replaced for Carlisle after that miss. No suprise there like. Looks a bit devastated in the dug out. He won't sleep tonight.
Back out at the Emirates ICG.
Steven Finn to have first over, with Richard Levi and Jacques Kallis up first for South Africa.
This should be a routine win for South Africa now, but they need a good start from their openers.
GOAL: #Darlington go 4-0 up in the 50th minute and what a goal it was. A chip by Chris Emms following a pass by Adam Nicholls. #echosport
— @CStoddartEcho 08 September 2012
One of the greatest misses of all. Carlisle striker Jake Jervis goes around Hartlepool keeper Scott Flinders on the edge of the area, faced with empty net. He put the ball in the away end. Shocker. The stuff DVDs are made of.
ENGLAND'S innings over. They finish 118-7 which gives South Africa every chance of winning this first match of the series.
Stuart Broad and Graeme Swann both finished on 18 not out to try to improve a poor total by getting the best partnership score of the afternoon on 33.
But South Africa, with Johan Botha's two for 19 and two catches leading the way, should have enough to wrap this up after the interval.
Superb weather at the cricket #comeonengland #comeontim http://t.co/5mCL1lRF
— @Lukeyjuke 08 September 2012
HALF-TIME : Darlington 3 Consett 0. Quakers are coasting against Consett. Goals from Amar Purewal (3 minutes), David Dowson (37 and 39).
HT: Hartlepool 1 Carlisle 0 - decent game, lively, pacy, both teams pressing. No grumbles with the performance or the scoreline.
Just before the break, a rare chance for Consett . Harrison Davies' corner met the towering presence of David Scorer, but the Consett defender could not live up to his name as his header was deflected wide for another corner, this time cleared by Darlington .
GOAL: Darlington now 3-0 up against Consett, again through David Dowson. Adam Nicholls attempted to work an opening in the centre of Consett's penalty area and although he lost possession, the ball fell kindly to Dowson to blast home. Two goals inside three minutes.
GOAL: Hartlepool one up, James Poole 40 mins. Pacy charge into the area, angled ball and confidently clipped in. Deserved that for a very bright half from the striker.
WICKET: 85/7 Patel c Kallis b Peterson 4
Attempted to strike Peterson's delivery down the ground but Kallis made an incredible catch with inches to spare to send the England man packing.
Graeme Swann enters the field.
GOAL: David Dowson makes it 2-0 to Darlington. He collided with keeper Peter Jameson on the edge of the penalty area, but knocked the ball into the unguarded net after collecting a long pass from the Darlington defence.
Almost a Consett own goal. Trickery on the left by Darlington's Adam Nicholls led to a whipped in cross to the far post where left-back Ian Davidson attempted a chest-pass to keeper Peter Jameson that bounced inches wide of the post, conceding a corner in the process. Ten minutes until half-time, it remains 1-0 to Darlington who look good for a second goal.
Not a derby game this - but it's a bit lively. Hartlepool have had half a dozen chances , Carlisle just had a couple. Two bookings, one for each. Pools are better than they were against Scunthorpe last time out.
Poole lively for Poole, with Berrett the pick of the visitors bunch.
WICKET: England 80/6 Bairstow c Botha b Morkel 15
Another one down. Now England have plenty work to do. This time Bairstow done by the fielding of Botha, who caught his slog from Morkel to long on with ease.
In comes captain fantastic, well we will see, Stuart Broad.
Chances for both teams just now, both involving Darlington's muscular midfielder Leon Scott. He first charged through the middle, brushing off the attentions of a couple of
blue-shirted Consett defenders, before dragging an effort horribly wide.
Within 60 seconds his poor pass was seized upon by Consett striker Michael Mackay who laid the ball off to strike-partner Lewis Teasdale, but his effort ended up in Sainsbury's car park.
Half an hour gone, still 1-0 to Darlington.
WICKET: England 76/5 Buttler b Peterson 6
This time Peterson's delivery changed direction and caught out Buttler, who turned to see his stumps gone!
In comes Samit Patel.
22 minutes gone at Heritage Park and Darlington remain 1-0 up, though it's not been entirely one-way traffic. Consett created an opportunity up the left that led to new Darlington defender Joe Tait blocking a shot from Michael Mackay, the former Hartlepool United striker.
But there's been more action in Consett's goalmouth. Consett captain Craig Robson blocked a shot from Adam Nicholls, who had earlier caused alarm for the visitors when he ghosted past Luke Sullivan and Calvin Smith, but keeper Peter Jameson saved the winger's effort.
On the live blog we have golf, cricket, and football. It's like Grandstand. Which makes us all Des Lynam. Tache-tastic.
Larrazabal and Jamieson just one shot behind Graeme Storm now, the Hartlepool golfer is -1 for the day and -12 in total, played 16.
So close to 2-0. Chris Emms played a first-time pass through to Darlington's David Dowson who raced beyond Consett's David Scorer, but the shot rolled narrowly wide. And now right-back Luke Sullivan has cleared off the line from Dowson.
WICKET: England 66/4 Morgan b Botha 10
Make that Morgan was in. He played the ball on to his own stumps from Botha's ball that went just outside off stump.
Jos Butler moves on in ..
England sit 66/4 at the half way stage of their twenty overs. Not electric by any means, but moving along.
Morgan and Bairstow both on ten, not out.
In the continued absence of Gary Brown, Leon Scott is again Darlington captain's. He's again been as forceful as ever in the centre of the pitch. With Dan Smith unavailable, Darren
Richardson is making his first start for the club at left-back, although he's ordinarily a midfielder.
With Adam Nicholls returning to the side at left-wing, Arjun Purewal starts up front for the first alongside David Dowson.
Consett lost 2-0 at league leaders West Auckland on Tuesday, but they were difficult to break down at Darlington Road. Not so today. Darlington sliced through the middle of their defence to take the lead after 15 seconds with Amar Purewal netting his fourth from the club from near the penalty spot. Ten minutes gone, still 1-0.
Decent start to the game at Hartlepool , plenty of tempo and effort. James Poole is looking very lively up front
WICKET: England 50/3 Bopara c Botha b Steyn 6
Bopara too complacent with his shot from Dale Steyn's delivery and caught at slip by Botha.
Jonathan Bairstow takes centre stage ...

WICKET: England 40/2 Kieswetter lbw b Botha 25
Kieswetter got in a right mess there, caught lbw delivery with Botha's ball heading straight for off stump.
Eoin Morgan in now ...

— @GreigTind 08 September 2012
Kieswetter almost went there. Tried to launch Tsotsobe's delivery over mid on and Johan Botha leapt high to catch but dropped.
Should have gone.
England survive and now sit 36/1 after 5.4 overs.
Shame for Alex Hales, he was a little too keen for a quick single that was never on. Kieswetter didn't even look to run, but Hales burst out of the traps and was in no-mans land by the time Kallis shied at the stumps.
Both of the Darlington mascots are wearing last season's kit, but have taped over the sponsor's name, which was a company belonging to former chairman Raj Singh.
Alex Hales run out on 11 from six balls. Clearly done by the quick throw of Jacques Kallis. It had been going well, Ravi Bopara to take over
Craig Kieswetter has started well. Just - just - hammered Lonwabo Tsotsobe for six in the South African's first over of the day.
England have started brightly, 24-0 after three overs.
New signing Joe Tait is one of three changes in the Darlington side for today's game against Consett at Heritage Park.
The defender comes in at the expense of Matthew Grieve who made his debut in Wednesday's 4-1 defeat at Guisborough Town on Wednesday.
Also dropping out of the line-up are left-back Dan Smith and striker Shaun Reay who scored in all of Quakers' first four matches. In their places are Darren Richardson and Adam Nicholls.
Darlington: Norton, Harrison, Richardson, Ellison, Tait, Arjun Purewal, Emms, Scott, Dowson, Amar Purewal, Nicholls. Subs: Johnson, Porter (gk), Reay, Grieve, Clough
Consett: Jameson, Sullivan, Davidson, Smith, Scorer, Pearson, Aiston, Robson, Teasdale, Mackay, Davies. Subs: Callen, Stanger, Elliott (gk), Richardson, Slocombe

Alex Hales starts well, finds eight runs off the first three balls he has faced for England.
England's Craig Kieswetter to face the first ball of the day from the spin of South African Robin Peterson. Safe. No run.
And off we go ...
Darlington kick off against Consett in half an hour, here's what Martin Gray had to say to Echo man Craig Stoddart yesterday.
Half an hour until kick-off at Heritage Park, the sun's out and Beady Eye's The Beat Goes On is on the PA. This pleases the Echo's reporter very much.
First update of the day from Heritage Park where Darlington play Consett , just two weeks since they met at Belle Vue.
Quakers won that meeting during their successful start to the season, which came to an abrupt end on Wednesday when Martin Gray's men lost 4-1 at Guisborough Town.
Before then Darlington had won four successive matches: Bishop Auckland (3-1), Marske (3-0), Consett (3-0) and Dunston UTS (4-0).
Gray spent yesterday in talks with potential new signings with one deal being concluded – the arrival of Joe Tait - while another is understood to be on the verge of
Defender Tait has signed having received international clearance following a spell playing in the US having come through the ranks at Hartlepool United.

Twenty-five minutes before the first ball in the men's T20 at the Durham Emirates ICG.
South Africa have won the toss and put England in to bat first.
Team news is that Craig Kieswetter will open with Alex Hales.
There is no James Anderson nor Tim Bresnan. Steven Finn, despite a stiff back problem, is included at No 9.
And for South Africa there is no Wayne Parnell, with 12th man Faf du Plessis playing instead.
The tourists will have Richard Levi and Jacques Kallis opening the bat.
Sunderland midfielder Craig Lynch signed for Pools - likely to be in today

— @paulfraserecho 08 September 2012
England's men warming up now, had a quick pep-talk and doing a few shuttle runs now. 45 minutes to go until we start here at Emirates ICG.
That didn't take long. Two hours now until the men's Twenty20 at the Emirates.
England made light work of that against the West Indies. Skipper Charlotte Edwards led from the front to reach an undefeated 27 from 26 balls, which included three fours.
Edwards was helped along by 31 from Laura Marsh before she was stumped by Merissa Aguilleira and four from Sarah Taylor until being caught by Britney Cooper off the bowling of Shermaine Campbell.
Arran Brindle was on five not out alongside Edwards when England claimed the first victory of the three match series against the tourists.
Now we wait for the men ... 2.30pm start against South Africa.
One run will win it, and they've done it. 9.4 overs and Edwards nicks a single to claim a straightforward victory. Two hours in, England see off West Indies. Bish. Bash. Bosh.
WICKET! ENGLAND 66-2 Taylor 4 c Cooper b Campbelle
Marsh's replacement Sarah Taylor is caught by Britney Cooper. However, as we speak, England are two away from wrapping this up, shy of the halfway mark of the innings.
England need six to win.
WICKET! ENGLAND 59-1 Marsh 31 st Aguilleira b Mohammed
First blood for the West Indies, the tourists' captain Aguilleira stumping Laura Marsh off Anisa Mohammed, the England opener scoring 31.
England 54 without loss after six overs. Only need 18 to win. Would it be disrespectful to say "start the car"?
Edwards 18 and Marsh 14 are England's opening pair. Four overs in and they've already put up a stronger partnership than any of West Indies' order.
England 35 without loss, three overs in. All fairly routine. Whenever a boundary is scored, there are smoke machines and a dancing troupe in front of the Lumley End celebrate. Think they might be busy today.
England up and running, Charlotte Edwards already notching 6 off 5 balls as they chase down 72.
NEWS update ahead of Hartlepool's match with Carlisle United this afternoon.
Pools have signed Craig Lynch from Sunderland on a month's loan and he IS eligible to face the Cumbrians this afternoon at Victoria Park.
West Indies' total was the eighth worst score of all time in Women's international T20 cricket.
END of first session, the West Indies have ended 71-8 at the Emirates ICG.
It was a poor total for the tourists, whose top scorers were Tremayne Smart on 14 and Merissa Aguilleira hit 21 from 29 balls.
England's Holly Colvin took two wickets for just five runs in an impressive showing, while Katherine Brunt claimed two for 16.
England's batting order should have no problems in reaching that total when the play resumes shortly.
WICKET! W. INDIES 54-8 Daley 6 c Beaumont b Wyatt
WICKET! W.INDIES 48-7: King 0 b Colvin
Another one for England, Stacy-Ann King stumped by Taylor off Colvin - the tourists are rocking here. Tremayne Smartt and Shanel Daley are in the middle now. For now, anyway.
WICKET! W. INDIES 48-6: Cooper 5 run out
A sublime piece of fielding by Charlotte Edwards there. The England skipper's run out of Britney Cooper was a joy to behold.
The projected score here at Emirates ICG is 66. Windies 43-5. England haven't lost a T20 match in 18 months and in truth that looks set to stay that way today.
The women's T20 is up and running at Emirates Durham. England Men's up next at 230 v South Africa. #echosport http://t.co/PQmsaIaz
— @paulfraserecho 08 September 2012
WICKET! W. INDIES 37-5: Aguilleira 21 c Shrubsole b Marsh
West Indies lose Merissa Aguilleira after 11 overs, Shrubsole taking the catch from Laura Marsh's delivery. Remember, the lowest total in an international T20 is 60...
WICKET! W. INDIES 35-4: Campbelle 11 b Colvin
Colvin bowls around the wicket and takes her first victim of the morning, bowling Shemaine Campbelle who had compiled 11.
Nine overs down, West Indies have steadied the ship, they're 35-3, approaching the halfway point at the innings.
West Indies 24-3, they've settled down after what can only be described as a disastrous opening. Merissa Aguilleira has looked sharp for the tourists, she's got 12 so far from 13 balls. Five overs down.
It's at this point that the record books are consulted. The lowest total in a women's T20 international innings was posted by Pakistan in 2009 when they were 60 all out. The opposition? England in 2009.
WICKET! W. INDIES 7-3: Dottin 0 b Shrubsole lbw
Crikey. I know T20 is quick, but this is ridiculous. Nine balls in and West Indies are three down. This time, it's Anya Shrubsole who snares Deandra Dottin, who trudges off with 0 to her name. I have a bacon sandwich in front of me which has remained uneaten. It may still be warm by the changeover.
Clarification on Stefanie Taylor, who is omitted from the Windies side - she's studying for an exam and will be in the country on Monday.
WICKET ! W. INDIES 5-2: Knight 0 b Brunt lbw
Cracking first over for England and Katherine Brunt, she's taken two wickets, dismissing Kycia Knight who goes for a golden duck.
WICKET : W. INDIES 0-1: Nero 0 b Brunt lbw
Great start for England, Katherine Brunt taking first blood on only her second ball with Juliana Nero lbw.
For England, there's disappointment for local girl Danielle Hazell - who Paul Fraser interviewed yesterday here - misses out.
Big news here is that Stefanie Taylor, West Indies all-rounder and one of the most exciting talents in women's cricket, misses out. As yet unknown why she's been omitted from the first T20.
England Women: CM Edwards, LA Marsh, SJ Taylor, A Brindle, DN Wyatt, TT Beaumont, JL Gunn, SE Rowe, KH Brunt, HL Colvin, A Shrubsole.
West Indies Women: JB Nero, KA Knight, MR Aguilleira, DJS Dottin, SA Campbelle, SF Daley, B Cooper, SACA King, TD Smartt, A Mohammed, SC Selman
West Indies won the toss and will bat first.
First ball in the England Women's t20 match against West Indies is 10.15. http://t.co/OMZAmRoN
— @MasonEcho 08 September 2012
It's the Northern Echo's Live Sport Blog, making an earlier-than-normal appearance today. The reason for that is because Emirates Durham ICG is hosting a double header of international cricket, which begins in 15 minutes when England Women face West Indies Women in a T20 match. The men's team take to the field mid-afternoon. A crowd of 10,000 is expected here in Chester le Street. Team news to follow.

Pulitzer Prize-winning presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin notes each inauguration is moving in its own way, but only a few produce moments that are truly memorable.
"It depends upon the person and the occasion to really produce a historic inaugural speech," Goodwin said. "But the ceremony itself ... is a real tribute to the country, that a person who was the president can go out and become a private citizen (while) a new private citizen is becoming the president."
"It's peaceful," she says, and "that's an extraordinary thing in the history of our world."
Here are 10 inaugural moments that Goodwin said have stood the test of time:
2009: Obama makes history
There was a magic to the inaugural day for President Barack Obama. ... (It was) as if the whole history of our country was coming full circle -- the ending of slavery and now the first African-American president. So the crowds were reveling in that spirit -- 1.8 million (people), more than had ever been there before.
Just the idea that we had come this far as a nation. There was a sense of unity and a sense of pride, I think, in our country that this was finally happening.
1981: Reagan's optimistic first inaugural speech
What was so impressive about Ronald Reagan's inaugural speech, I think, was the optimism that it suggested after a period when America was feeling like we might have been in decline. Even though he had the exact opposite message as Franklin Roosevelt, where he was talking about government as the problem rather than the solution, both Reagan and FDR shared that American sense that we can do things.
In a certain sense, the optimism of the speech was symbolized by (Reagan's) transferring the inaugural to the West Front of the Capitol, which made a much grander spectacle.
More people could watch it, so it was a big occasion.
1977: Carter's long walk
Jimmy Carter made the decision evidently just three weeks before the inauguration that he would walk after his inauguration back to the White House. And it really was an extraordinary moment. ... There was a feeling with Carter that he was being a people's president, as opposed to the imperial guard that had surrounded Nixon. And so he's walking, (and first daughter) Amy is running around next to him. There's a sense of exuberance, and a sense that something special is happening.
1961: JFK's stirring address
What is so memorable about John F. Kennedy saying that the torch is being passed to a new generation is that he himself represented a new generation. (He was) 22 years younger than Dwight Eisenhower, and what the speech promised was action, movement, (and) a new energy coming into the government and into the country.
When we think of those famous words -- "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for the country" -- it was followed up by thousands of people wanting to join the Peace Corps, and the Civil Rights movement was already out there. There was a sense of working on poverty, so the words projected action, and that's what makes them memorable.
What always strikes me about JFK's inaugural (address), however, is that he said in the course of it ... that all this would not be accomplished in 1,000 days, meaning the programs that he had outlined. Originally in the draft of it, he had said all of this would not be accomplished in 100 days, but he slashed it out because he did not want to be compared to FDR's 100 days. But little would he ever imagine that 1,000 days would mark the end of his life, and that that would be his presidency.
1945: FDR's abbreviated wartime ceremony
Roosevelt decided in 1945, when the war was still ongoing, to dispense with the traditional parade. Who is there to parade, he said, and so he made it a very simple ceremony (at the White House).
He himself was suffering from heart failure at that time, so it was a five-minute speech and he needed to fortify himself with whiskey in order to get through the pain that he was feeling. So sadly, the physical state of FDR matched the mood at that time.
1933: FDR's dramatic first inaugural speech
We all remember the phrase "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself," but even more important than the phrase was the attitude that FDR had. He projected optimism, he projected forward movement, and people felt -- that's the mystery of leadership -- that somehow the (Great) Depression they were suffering (through), they weren't going to be in it alone anymore. ... They had a leader who was going to take care of it.
Hoover, however, was very upset during the transition about what FDR did not do. He was hoping some action would be taking place while he was still president, but FDR wanted to wait (and) have a clean slate while he was president. ... Hoover was very angry about that, and there was lots of tension between the two.
1905: TR's eclectic parade
What's interesting about Theodore Roosevelt's inaugural parade is that it symbolized the many-sided character that TR was.

Danica Patrick dressed up as a showgirl at the ACAs Tuesday night
Nick Bromberg at From the Marbles44 mins agoIf you sat through the American Country Awards last night, you got to see Danica Patrick dressed as a showgirl. You weren't expecting that were you?
Patrick hosted the ACAs along with country singer Trace Adkins. And she did a fine job. The writing was predictably poor and many of the skits and jokes were not laugh out loud funny by any stretch, but she did well with what she had to work with. That's definitely saying something.
And now you want to know what other NASCAR drivers would look like dressed as a showgirl, right? Let's see what we can do.

Formula 1 to offer double points for the final race of the season
Nick Bromberg at From the Marbles1 day agoFormula 1's final race of 2014 will be worth twice as much as the race before it.
The sanctioning body announced that the finale next year at Abu Dhabi would be worth 50 points to the winner instead of 25.
From our friends at Eurosport:
The FIA said double points would "maximise focus on the championship until the end of the campaign" and had been unanimously approved at a meeting in Paris of teams in the F1 Strategy Group and Formula One Commission.
Sebastian Vettel won the final nine races of the 19 race season last year and won the title by 155 points. So with double points last year, the gap between he and Fernando Alonso would actually have been 175. Yes, the F1 points system is heavily skewed towards winning. Not a horrible thought, right?
Jay Mohr got an icy glare from Danica Patrick after a joke at the Sprint Cup banquet
Nick Bromberg at From The Marbles3 days agoYou know, the joke was based in some truth.
Host Jay Mohr joked at Friday night's Sprint Cup banquet that he hoped that Danica Patrick wasn't uncomfortable being close to the stage because she's not used to being up front.
Patrick didn't laugh and neither did boyfriend Ricky Stenhouse Jr. After the joke, Mohr tried his best to smooth things over but it may not have worked very well.
While she qualified on the pole for the Daytona 500 and ran up front for most of the race, that was the only time that Patrick did that in 2013. She didn't lead any more laps or finish in the top 10 the rest of the season.
And let's be honest, that joke works for any number of drivers who were near the back of the pack in the Sprint Cup Series next season. It's not something that can only be used against her.
Patrick will be in Mohr's role on Tuesday when she co-hosts the ACAs -- a country music awards show -- with Trace Adkins. The bet here is that Patrick will be performing some jokes about country music singers in her time on stage.

You want Jimmie Johnson's banquet speech? Here's Jimmie Johnson's banquet speech

Jay Mohr hosted the banquet and cracked some great jokes about Danica Patrick, Clint Bowyer and Jeff Gordon. But the night belonged to Johnson and company who were back at the head table after a two-year absence.

Jimmie Johnson is recreating 'The Hangover' in Las Vegas on Instagram
From The Marbles4 days agoWell, this is just delightful. Jimmie Johnson is in Las Vegas to celebrate NASCAR Champions' Week, and the six-time Sprint Cup champion has decided to make the most of the opportunity by recreating scenes from "The Hangover." So far, we've got the baby, the tiger, the rooster, the elevator ... plus, of course, one "lost" member of the "Six Pack," crew chief Chad Knaus:
The coup de grace, so far, is this message from Mr. Chow himself, Ken Jeong:
"It started off Monday when I left L.A. to come over here," Johnsontold USA Today's Jeff Gluck. "I sent out a tweet [about the Hangover] and the response got us all thinking about things. My office is out here ... and before I knew it, I came back to my room and there was a stuffed tiger, a little chicken, a baby, little outfits for the baby, a carrier, the whole thing."
You can follow the progress of Johnson on his Instagram account. He promises more surprises ahead.
NASCAR Hall of Fame eligibility and guidelines tweaked
Nick Bromberg at From the Marbles5 days agoNASCAR announced changes to the Hall of Fame voting process on Thursday and most notably is tweaking the eligibility rules for drivers.
Under the current system, drivers who have driven for at least 10 years and retired for three are eligible for the Hall of Fame. That remains in place, but with a tweak. If a driver is 55 years old the year before the nominating year, he's immediately eligible, even if he's currently competing. Plus if a driver has been competing in NASCAR for 30 years (or more), he is immediately eligible.
That means Terry Labonte, Mark Martin and Bill Elliott are immediately eligible for the Hall of Fame.
The current five-member class is selected from a pool of 25 nominees. That will be reduced to 20 with an in-person debate being held by the selection panel before the nominees are selected.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. wins Most Popular Driver for the 11th consecutive time
Nick Bromberg at From the Marbles5 days agoDale Earnhardt Jr. is NASCAR's Most Popular Driver. This isn't surprising. But of those 11 times, it might have been the most (relatively) surprising of the bunch.
If Junior's streak was going to end, this was going to be the year. That was because of the inclusion of Danica Patrick on the ballot. With the uber-popular Patrick on the docket, was the uber-uber-uber-popular Junior going to lose his crown?
No. Patrick actually finished fifth. Junior's two Hendrick teammates, Kasey Kahne and Jeff Gordon, were second and third. Tony Stewart was fourth. The rest of the top 10 went Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Matt Kenseth, Kyle Busch and Carl Edwards.
According to the NMPA, over 1 million votes were cast and 700,000 were cast for Junior. That's what you call a landslide.
Gordon and Kahne flip-flopped positions from last year while Stewart held his spot. Patrick bumped Johnson from fifth.

It's Your 2013 Exit Interview: No. 23 Denny Hamlin
Nick Bromberg at From the Marbles5 days agoWelcome to From the Marbles' 2013 driver reviews. Here, we're going to critique, praise and bloviate about the top 30 drivers in the 2013 NASCAR season. Denny's Diner. Or something. We're going to run out of alliterations.
Denny, this meeting seems quite different than it would have beenbased off of what happened at Homestead, doesn't it?
Before Homestead, we're talking about a season of struggles even withoutthat nasty back injury. Your performance on the track was sub-par, and we were all left scratching our heads while your other two teammates made hay.
Because of those struggles, you were a good company man by agreeing to essentially become a guinea pig for your team during the Chase. And that guinea pig's wheel didn't go very fast. The struggles continued in the Chase.
It's Your 2013 Exit Interview: No. 24 Casey Mears
Nick Bromberg at From the Marbles6 days agoWelcome to From the Marbles' 2013 driver reviews. Here, we're going to critique, praise and bloviate about the top 30 drivers in the 2013 NASCAR season. It's Casey's corner now.
Thanks for joining us Casey. Where should we begin?
You potentially had the most consistently nondescript season of anyone in the Cup Series this year. And before you get all riled up and think that's going to merit a bad review, it's not. It's the truth, and in your situation, it's not a bad thing, is it?
Your team is small, has fairly limited resources and just a year or so ago was in a situation where you were having to do the start and park furlough thing. This year, there was none of that and it showed in your performance.
The restrictor plate lottery fell in your favor once this season as it seems to do for all small teams and that July Daytona night was the best finish of the season for you all. Below that, there were a lot of top 20 qualifying efforts -- eight of them -- and nine top 20 finishes.
Swan Racing plans two full-time teams with Parker Kligerman and Cole Whitt
Nick Bromberg at From the Marbles7 days agoSwan Racing announced Tuesday that it would field full-time teams for Parker Kligerman and Cole Whitt in the Sprint Cup Series in 2014.
The team started this season with Michael Waltrip behind the wheel at Daytona and then with David Stremme. After Stremme's departure in September, Whitt drove seven races, Kligerman drove two and Kevin Swindell drove one in the no. 30 car.
"When we launched Swan Racing we pledged to race hard every lap of every race. That's what we have done and what we will continue to do. We learned a lot this year and now is the time to plan for the long term future by adding more resources to be more competitive," Swan owner Brandon Davis said in a statement.
The car that Waltrip drove at Daytona was the Newtown tribute car.The highest finish the car had last season was a 12th by Stremme at Talladega. Kligerman finished 18th and 25th in his two starts and Whitt's highest finish was 27th.

Nice collection Yoppy, I've just made an avatar for our section =) feel free to use it everyone. Do you string the rackets by yourself Yoppy ?
Last edited by demolidor; 05-03-2011 at 01:10 PM.
hey Yoppy, nice collection! is the Ti99Classic same as the normal Ti99 (except the paint job)? i have the normal version and dang! that classic version's paint is so nice
i have an offer for a second hand SW35 selling for half the discounted price with a small paint chip and 2 months old..should i take it?
Count me in to this fan club..) SW35 all the way !
The MX80 is amazing!!!! Super duper stiff
I've just tried the Mx 80, this racket is amazing and not too difficult to handle contrary to the SW35 which requires some time to adapt.
SW35 doesn't take too long to adapt to IMO. I was fine with it within a couple of hits.
I am between beginner and intermediary player so I don't have a good technique, and the SW 35 is pretty heavy since I'm used to even balance racket so I did many mishits and broke some strings quite easily. Mx 80 is a good compromise, I took it for the hype and I'm no disappointed. This Mx 80 is now my go to racket. Bye bye Ti 10 !
Very good Densha. Is ur MX80 a 4UG2 spec too ? Easy to handle ? How's the stiffness acting up to u ?
VICTOR Brave Sword 10 - review (my post from the BS10 thread)
VICTOR Brave Sword 10 - review
First of all, thank you to ants for providing the review template.
I think i need not to provide any intro for this Victor racket. Instead I should provide an intro about myself (the player). I started playing badminton at the age of 8 (although taken time on and off since then) I played mostly doubles, and we enjoy fast attacking play both at the back and at the net. And therefore I always wanted a fast and stiff racket, and up to last night I have never come across anything better than NS9900. Perhaps many of you know already know that Im a die hard NS9900 user as i always said in this forum that NS9900 is the best racket ever hahaha, i do love every bit of it.
I injured myself about 2 month ago (the doctor said it was tennis elbow), since then I rested for 2 weeks and I dare not to hit as hard as I would previously (as Im still feeling pain on my elbow)
Anyway, I was become aware that Victor has come to Sydney, and to cut the story short I get the BS10 among many others (which will bring my total collection to 30 plus). Honestly I dont know much about this racket before, not even this thread. All I know is people giving short comment about this racket, thats about it.
Name: Victor Brave Sword 10
Specs: 4U/G2
Shaft stiffness: Extra Stiff
Balance point: Balance/Head Light
Strings: Victor VS-850
Tension: 26lbs
Grip: RKEP
Paint work and design:
The things that strike me with BS10 were the metallic paint and sharp pointy edges of the frame as well as the waving section inside the frame. Please forgive me if these info are all too common for Victor regular users, as a new Victor user that were the things that set BS10 apart from other non-Victor rackets. IMO the inside wave will give extra strength to the racket (hence it can handle higher tension) the same way an arc window would do to the building structure.
Warm up:
I had a bit of hard time adjusting to the timing and the feel of this racket. But when 2 mins warm up ended, i know straight away that this racket is really2 good. I have absolutely no complaint about every aspects of this racket.
But at this point I was still in denial that nothing beats my NS9900. I only thought that this BS10 is only as good as NS9900. I did not believe that there is any lighter and stiffer and more dynamic racket out there.
Game play:
As i mention previously, i was injured and playing at perhaps 70% of my max power. One thing that i notice straight away, BS10 was faster than NS9900. Maybe its because of 2 things, the NS9900 that i use was 3U and this BS10 was 4U, another thing would be the frame design which BS10 has. That sword like edges cuts through the air effortlessly.
Naturally, the next thing I was eager to know is the power department. For a start there are 2 disadvantages, me being injured and the racket strung 2 lbs below my normal tension. But to my excitement I was hitting harder than ever and the angle/accuracy of the smash was amazing, it really surprised me. I know that in a way, me being weaker and the tension being lower help in one way. Therefore, I ignored my injury and started hitting 100% as hard as I can. The next thing I know, the strings starting to shift all over (none of the middle main strings were straight LOL) and I could feel that the string telling me Youre hitting too hard!! LOL. At that stage, I could not hit the bird any faster/harder, its just simply not possible at that tension. And I know 2 things from that: 1. BS10 is more powerful than NS9900 and 2. If I strung this BS10 at 28 lbs (at my normal tension) it will be even more powerful.
All I can say now is that I have found a new wife and its the best racket ever made!!
And that leaves me wanting even more to try the rest of the Victor rackets.
Im not sure where the fibe coming from about BS10 being an evenly balanced racket. This racket IMO is a balanced toward head light racket suitable for attack minded doubles player.
Racket ratings out of 10:
Feel: 9/10
Control: 9/10
Power: 10/10
Defense: 9.5/10
Looks and finish: 8/10
Value for Money: 10/10
Your rating of 8/10 for the finish will drop to 5/10 once the holograph on the head starts flaking off.
Okay, so I have a bit of a dilemma. Looks like in the next couple of months I'll have an opportunity to play some singles, and being the rampant consumer that I am, I'm looking at a new Victor for singles.
Now, the issue is that really, I'd like a Yonex style head heavy racket - that is, with the weight at the top of the head.
I had an SW35 about 6 months ago and had reasonable success with it in singles, but my version at least carried it's weight fairly evenly. I find with the Yonex', the head heavy-ish rackets (I've had the AT900T and to a much lesser degree, ZS) feel a lot different because the weight is definitely carried in the top of the head and not spread out evenly like the SW35 does.
So, I'm not actually sure there is a Victor in the range that's going to feel like I want it to. Anyone got any ideas?
I'm almost thinking about getting another BS10 a lead weighting the head at 12/3/9 o'clock.
Sound crazy?Last edited by Maklike Tier; 05-03-2011 at 08:27 PM.
hahaha yup thats right mate, I really like the holograph part. I hope it wont happen (the flaking off part), you see maintainance is the key word isn't it?
According to the chart SW37 is the most head heavy Victor racket, but its not as stiff as SW35 or SW36.
Yes thats crazy, you will ruin the main reason why BS10 is soooo good LOL
Nope. The first time you frame a shot, that sheeeit it peeling right off. You can polish it as much as you like.
What chart is this? That horrible XY matrix chart? If it's a Superwave then I'm not convinced it's going to feel the way I want it to. I had a SW35 and have a SW3150 in my bag, and while they are heavier than the Braveswords, they don't carry their weighting concentrated in the head, so it's not what I'm after.
Maybe someone with a SW37 can comment??
Is good to see more and more players are jumping on the Victor band wagon.
I am like many of you is a big fan of YY for many many years and buy every model that they release. However, last year a friend convienced me to try the new SW35. I was instantly hooked!!! Cant get enough of it...
I have tried many different brands of rackets but SW35 gives you the solid feel, whereas the others gives you this hollow feel. Because I don't play with Elite players, therefore we get those guys that tries to be KKK or TBH taking all the shots ending up clashing with my rackets. It's both heartarch and anger, especially that a$$ dont say sorry for breaking your $200+ racket and has the nerve to say "his one is original and mine is fake".
Anyway, I have recently brought a BS12 which is another great investment, as for doubles is awsome!!! More for defensive player, net shots, recover and control.
I am keeping all my YYs for future investment.
I am getting the Victor x-80 shortly, hopefully it is as good or better than SW35...
