Protecting data with a Perl-based rescue CD
Armed with just a rescue CD and a Perl script, you can back up a client's hard disk across the wire.
What do you do when a hard disk crashes? Just buy a new hard disk and restore your most recent backup, of course. But what happens if you had a configuration with multiple partitions on the disk? How much space was assigned to each partition, and what filesystems did you have on the disk? Disaster recovery is a fairly easy process if the backup includes the complete partitions and you can restore the backup in a single operation.

Over the past fourteen years much of my consulting work has fallen into the organizational design (OD) category. Helping organizations ensure that their processes, job positions, policies and procedures, are aligned to their goals, objectives and overall mission.
What's enjoyable about OD projects is the opportunity to challenge conventional wisdom and identity blind spots. What's not enjoyable are those occasions when you discover that all those fancy speeches and slogans (talk) about how important employees are, is not supported by action (walk).
This, as I've written on many occasions in the past, is how cynicism creeps into the workplace. This is a slippery slope because a company's culture is as important as its product.
Organizational Disconnect
There's a deep disconnect between what many organizations say they stand for and what they actually do. These disconnects take a toll on employee engagement and on their productivity.
A review of more than 150 leadership studies found that integrity is the value employees care most about in their leaders. Honesty is second and humility is third. The other qualities employees most value included care and appreciation, respect for others, fairness, listening responsively, and reflectiveness.
Employees are more likely to be loyal to leaders they believe have high integrity, for example, than those that do not. The most ineffective leaders are egocentric, selfish, and self-absorbed. True leaders step beyond their own needs to better serve the needs of those they lead.
If you're serious about unlocking your organization's true potential, then you must unleash your people behind your brand. Employees are the ones responsible for driving higher organizational performance, productivity and sustainable profitable growth, not some elegant words on a piece paper under the heading mission, vision or marketing strategy. When employees feel devalued, they become unfocused, and when you're not focused, you can't win.
Organizational Alignment
Organizations often find their strategies and initiatives disconnected from daily operational goals, leaving employees confused about individual priorities. Alignment drives performance and communication keeps the wheels of progress greased. Alignment starts with strategic fit between resources and opportunities.
Performance management efforts will benefit your organization if metrics and reporting align to organization goals. Job performance goals need to be clearly defined, communicated and measured. Employees will trust data and understand how their daily actions affect the goals of the organization. This is how you create shared employee responsibility.
Organizational Assessment
Before you ask, "How can we get more out of our people?" ask, "What have we put into our people?" Here are four serious questions to think deeply about. I'd recommend you forward these questions to the leaders within your organization and have a discussion about them at your next staff meeting. These questions apply to all employees within your company, not just store-level employees:
ü Do our employees come to their jobs with a sense of pride and purpose?
ü Have we created a culture where employees can thrive?
ü Have we given our employees a compelling reason beyond a paycheck to come to work every day?
ü What does our organization need to do, or stop doing, to become a more inspiring place in which to work?

The comprehensive range of Viridian EnergyTech and Viridian SolTech Low E products offer improved thermal insulation and a choice of solar control performance with low visible light reflection. Manufactured in Australia, the range is designed for our climate regions and to help meet energy requirements. Being a local manufacturer Viridian understands our climate is unlike that of Northern Europe or the United States, that's why we offer a comprehensive choice of Solar Control Low E products to help reduce the extremes of Australia's warmer weather, balanced with opportunities for passive solar heating.
Our range has been expanded to include a choice of performance and colours, including greys, greens, neutral and clear to satisfy different designs objectives. Using the durable pyrolytic hard coat technology enables the Low E coating to be single glazed and exposed to the interior of a building to provide improved thermal insulation. The products can also be used as part of a laminated glass or in an insulated glass unit.
The Viridian SolTech and EnergyTech range feature a pyrolytic Low Emissivity coating that is fused at extremely high temperature when the glass is being made, producing a durable hard transparent coating on one surface of the glass. Unlike ordinary float glass, the Low E coating provides better insulation and enhanced solar control to help keep a building warmer in winter and cooler in summer. The application of the SolTech and EnergyTech Low Emissivity coating to the glass improves their thermal insulation (U-Value) and also further reduces the solar heat gain (SHGC) by inhibiting inward transmission of the solar energy absorbed by the glass, whilst still providing good daylighting performance.
The range also offers low internal and external visible reflectivity, typically desirable in residential buildings and commercial buildings when transparency is valued. If higher visible light reflectivity is desired then the Viridian EVantage pyrolytic Low E products offers a range of choices.
Please note the presence of haze may be perceived under certain light conditions. When single glazed these products are not designed to prevent surface condensation and their insulating capacity is reduced should this occur. Viridian ThermoTech Insulating Glass Units are recommended in these situations.
The comparison illustrates the performance of the product range in relation to:
The chart helps to show the breadth of the range, with product that offer passive solar heating in cooler climates; a balance of solar control and insulation in mixed climates or higher solar control for hotter climates and demanding orientations.
For example EnergyTech Clear, which has the lowest solar control (highest SHGC), is designed to assist with passive solar heating by enabling the sun's warmth to enter a building, capturing it inside and then reducing heat loss. In contrast SolTech Grey which has a low SHGC is designed to reduce solar gain by providing the highest solar control of the range. The range of products whilst providing improved insulation and a choice of solar control, continue to offer good daylight transmission to encourage natural lighting of buildings.
Performance data is for glass only and not suitable for NCC Section J calculations. Data compares performance of 6mm thickness for single glazed and IGU's are argon gas filled with 12mm width.
The bar chart diagram is for indication only, for performance data please refer to the glass performance data tables at the end of this document.

You shouldn't make any changes to header.php or any core files as odd things will most likely happen. If you wish to add another link to your header, you will most likely want to use a hook. I recommend you install the Action Map plugin from the store, find the correct hook location and then add your code to the functions.php file.
Posted 01 October 2012 - 03:10 PM
Depending on where you need to add the extra link, a hook may be a much quicker and easier solution, but I just thought I'd mention another way

It's also worth mentioning that you can customize core sections like the branding section (if that's what you're using in the header) by copying the specific section's folder from the Pagelines sections folder into your child theme's "sections" folder (just create one if there isn't a folder there yet). From there you are free to customize the section however you'd like without being at risk of losing your customizations next time the framework is updated. Kind of like child themes for sections. If you decide to go this route, I would recommed you disable the core's version of the section from under Pagelines > Store > Sections > Core Framework to prevent any possible conficts.
Depending on where you need to add the extra link, a hook may be a much quicker and easier solution, but I just thought I'd mention another way
I did this and it now functions perfectly. This was cool because it was my first time really customizing something and it wasnt hard at all. If I wanted to go simply with a hook where would this be initiated?

Metropol Hotel Moscow Guest Reviews (3)
very closed from the center, comfort room, best service
kuzivan wrote on January 5, 2012
Metropol Hotel is located in a great area - just next to red square! It has a lot of old style charm and has good service to compliment. It would be a great hotel for leisure purposes but probably not great for business. Reason being, there is no in room internet access so if you need any work done - it would have to be in the lobby using wireless internet or at the business centre.
Anonymous wrote on July 14, 2008
The location of Metropol Hotel is excellent and within walking distance of the Kremlin, museums, shops and restaurants. The concierge's service was excellent but in the bar lounge it was average at best.

Christian Slater: I'm Engaged!
By JACKIE WILLIS
March 01, 2013
To all those who are still going after '90s heartthrob Christian Slater, he's officially off the market! The Cuffs star revealed that he popped the question to his longtime love Brittany Lopez after three years of dating, but this couple almost didn't happen due to a bit of confusion on Slater's part.
Slater, 43, told Late Night host Jimmy Fallon that upon meeting his fiance in 2009 at the Little Palm Island Resort in Miami, he thought she was a lesbian. "This girl came walking along with another lady, a slightly older lady," Slater explains. "I was sitting in my usual spot, eating my oatmeal...and this spot was famous for people proposing to each other. It was very, very nice. So she's there, and the next thing I know, she gets down on one knee and proposes to this older lady."
RELATED PICS: Heartthrobs Who Get Better With Age
The actor decided to congratulate the "couple" after witnessing what he believes was a "lesbian engagement" only to find out that wasn't the case at all. "But it turns out it was her aunt, and she was just trying to help her aunt capture the beauty and the romance of the moment. She was making a joke, and I witnessed it, and it intrigued me, and the next thing I knew, we were hanging out in the Everglades."
This will be Slater's second marriage. He shares two children, Jaden, 13, and Eliana, 11, with ex-wife Ryan Haddon.

BIMMERPOST correspondent Jens Meiners just spent a day at BMW's testing center near Munich for the BMW M3/M4 workshops and ride-along. Here is our report:
Thanks, BMW, for the earth-hugging i3 and the i8, but what enthusiasts really care about is the next M3 – and its two-door variation, the M4. Production of the current one has ended in July, while the next models won't go into production before Spring. Why the gap? We hear that BMW has essentially run out of parts to build them.
It means the end of an era: The E90 M3 was fitted with the last naturally aspirated BMW M engine – and it was also the last BMW M to use a dedicated M engine developed from scratch. No more. Despite … CONTINUED
We share with you the first official specs and technical details of the 2014 BMW M3 (F80) and M4 (F82)!
Inline 6 cylinder engine with two mono-scroll turbochargers
Direct Injection
closed-decked crankcase
twin-wire arc-spray coating (instead of liners) in cylinder bores reduce engine weight
430 HP (approximately)
369+ LB-FT (500 Nm)
See Dyno Chart
Higher than 7500 RPM redline
Two … CONTINUED
BMW M has held workshops revealing some technical aspects of the M3/M4. Our coverage and more official specs will come later.
For now, you should know that the BMW M3 and M4 will officially feature 425 HP and more than 370 LB-FT torque, in line with what we've been reporting.
Keep in mind that the F80 M3 /F82 M4 will weigh less than the E90/E92 M3.
BIMMERPOST member ///Megalomaniac got up close and very personal with an F80 M3 prototype this past weekend. He recounts his spotting with us all:
Today I spotted this F80 M3 on my way back home. Thought I should share it with you!
First thing what came in my mind was: "Yes, I'm the first who can show a picture of the redline!" But as I came closer and looked into the car, the whole speedo was blacked out and nothing was to see! I think it wasn't a full Black Panel Display, because it looked like there wasn't any speedo at all, only a Head-Up Display..
So I looked around and noticed that the white colour was only foil! There was a blue colour underneath, which didn't … CONTINUED
We have added a video of a black F80 M3 sedan advanced prototype out on the highway.
The F82 M4 coupe and F83 M4 convertible continue testing and we continue sharing pics with you.
Once it's fully revealed, we will see an M4 convertible which shares the M4 coupe's styling (and mechanicals), save for the roofline and trunkline. To give you an idea for how the M4 convertible will look once all the camo comes off, check out our production M4 renders below.
The one clear difference is that the M4 convertible features a different roof — in the form of a non-carbon fiber folding hardtop. It will operate and fold in the same manner we're used to seeing on the E93 M3 convertible.
As for the M4 coupe, we have all effectively seen the production M4 in the form of the M4 Concept (minus … CONTINUED
We recently showed you an advanced F80 M3 prototype in what looked like Singapore Gray Metallic (reposted below). Now see the latest prototypes in black and Silverstone.
Once again, we're treated to some great looks the F80 M3′s massive fenders. The F80 M3 shares virtually the same styling as the M4 except for the more prominently flared fenders and a different trunk design (no CSL style curve). The two share the same front front fascia and headlights, rear bumpers, sideskirts, hood bump, exhaust design, double-bubble carbon fiber roof and wheels. They will also share the same powerplant and drivetrain.
Ordering for the M3/M4 will be available beginning in January-February and production begins in the March-May time frame. Deliveries will begin by early Summer.
We'll have some initial tech … CONTINUED
Last year, Mr. Ludwig Willisch, President and CEO of BMW of North America, confirmed to us an inline 6 cylinder engine for the upcoming M3/M4, and we showed you spy photos of the engine. Despite these confirmations, stubborn rumors pop up periodically regarding a potential V6 configuration for the upcoming s55 engine.
If you needed any further convincing, now hear it from the BMW NA CEO himself (again). Speaking at an event that we are currently attending for the launch of the new X5 and 4 Series, Mr. Willisch references an inline engine for the M4 (and hence, M3), confirming he's really happy that "it is going to be a car that has the cylinders in one line." How would Mr. Willisch know? He was formerly … CONTINUED
Don't possess X-ray vision to see past all that camouflage which remains on the F83 M4 convertible prototype? No worries, we give you this digital preview.
As the spy photos and our renders show, the M4 convertible will generally share the M4 coupe and M3 sedan's styling, and of course powerplant/drivetrain.
The biggest difference will be the M4 cabrio's folding hardtop. Unlike the M4 and M3′s carbon fiber double-hump roof, the M4 convertible will be metal and operate and fold in the same manner we're used to seeing on the E93 M3 convertible. We stitched together earlier spy photos for a preview video (reposted below).
The M4 convertible will debut later in 2014, after the the M4 coupe and M3 sedan have their world debuts at the Detroit … CONTINUED

Hawaiians can hit the beaches in confidence through liposuction
England's "Human Barbie" Sarah Burge and daughter enter Georgia's pageant circuit
Florida Governor approves tougher liposuction regulations
A recent study that appeared in the April 2012 edition of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery showed that the overwhelming majority of patients, who have undergone liposuction, were very happy with their results. Dr. Ellen Mahony, a Connecticut plastic surgeon, says the study confirms what she has seen in her practice.
In a press release, Mahony said, "Most all of my patients are happy with the outcome of their liposuction procedures because they get very noticeable results without a lot of post-operative pain and recuperation time. The incisions are small, so people can usually be back to their normal activities in few days."
As the study pointed out, patient satisfaction is the best way to determine the success of a cosmetic surgery. Many patients see a liposuction doctor to remove bulges and resilient fat that are impossible to eliminate with physical activity and strict diets.
Patients, who are interested in a body contouring procedure, have a number of techniques to choose from like Smart Lipo and Laser Lipo. Liposuction doctors also offer traditional tumescent lipo and ultrasound. A consultation with a Connecticut plastic surgeon will help a patient determine which of the many available procedures will give them their desired results.
"I sit down with my patients and have them show me pictures and explain what their goals are," Dr. Mahony says, "Body contouring isn't a cookie cutter procedure. Not everyone wants to look alike. Some patients are seeking sleek lean contours while others want may want body definition that's a little more curvy."
That's the beauty of liposuction and why patients are so satisfied with the enhancement. The patient is able to dictate where they need improvement and contour their bodies the way they see fit.

Will Richard Prince's Naughty Nurse Paintings Nosedive?
While the market for some blue-chip contemporary art stars has rebounded from the recession, for others it remains a rocky ride. Take Richard Prince, the master of appropriation who gained widespread fame outside the art world for a collaboration with Louis Vuitton in 2007. His naughty nurse series - basically pulp fiction book covers he scanned and painted over - were a flop when they first debuted in 2002, but soon became hot commodities in the boom years before the economy went belly up. In 2008, Sotheby's in London set a record with the sale of Prince's 2002 Overseas Nurse for an eye-popping $8.5 million.
At Christie's' upcoming Post-War and Contemporary Art Evening Auction in London on Feb. 16, however, another 2002 work, The Taming of Nurse Conway, is only expected to fetch $1.4 million to $1.9 million. It would appear the auction house's experts aren't confident of achieving a result comparable to that of Phillips de Pury, who knocked down 2004's Nurse in Hollywood #4 for an impressive $6.5 milllion back in May – which might have been a one-off considering his 2002 Millionaire Nurse (above) only brought in $2.8 million at Sotheby's in London in June. Of course that was before the Euro really went down the tubes. No doubt Prince's prices will recover when the currency of so many collectors does.

Porsche Cayman review
The Porsche Cayman is faster, more agile, and cheaper to run than before - It won the Best Coupe of 2013 at the Auto Express awards
Sponsored Links
The Porsche Cayman has some big boots to fill. Its brilliant predecessor was one of the most entertaining and engaging sportscars money could buy, and it easily saw off rivals such as the expensive Lotus Evora and lead-footed Audi TT RS. Now there's an all-new Cayman, which promises to set an even higher standard. Based on the brand's latest Boxster, the newcomer is lighter, more powerful and even faster than before. There are two models to choose from: the entry-level 2.7-litre 271bhp Cayman, and the 3.4-litre 321bhp Cayman S.
Our choice: Cayman S
It's a case of evolution rather than revolution when it comes to the styling of the Porsche Cayman. At a glance the coupe looks remarkably similar to its sleek predecessor. However, closer inspection reveals it's longer and wider than before, while the sharper edged design gives the Cayman a more aggressive stance. The standard model gets 18-inch alloys, while the more expensive S benefits from eye-catching 19-inch rims. Inside, the Porsche Cayman feels much more upmarket than before. Classy materials, first-rate build quality and a flawless driving position mean the strict two-seater feels a cut above the rather cobbled together Lotus Evora. However, while all the essential kit is covered, you'll need to dip into the expensive options lists for desirable extras such as Bluetooth and sat-nav.
Few cars can rival the Porsche Cayman for driving thrills. With its beautifully balanced mid-engined handling, perfectly weighted steering and staggering grip, it's a blast to drive down any twisting back road. Buyers can also add the brilliant PASM adaptive dampers, which combine superb body control with a remarkably supple ride. Yet the Porsche combines this agility with impressive refinement and comfort, making the Cayman a surprisingly relaxed long-distance cruiser. Both flat-six engines deliver strong performance and a spine-tingling soundtrack, while the 321bhp S will blast from 0-62mph in a Porsche 911 Carrera-rivalling five seconds. As before, a slick six-speed manual is standard, while the firm's rapid-fire PDK twin clutch transmission is optional.
Porsche has a long tradition of building beautifully engineered cars – and the Cayman is no exception. The cabin is solidly screwed together, while the tried and tested mechanicals have been lifted straight from the Porsche Boxster and 911. On top of that, the brand scored a coveted top 10 finish in the 2012 Driver Power satisfaction survey. As you'd expect, the Cayman comes with a raft of safety kit as standard, including a full complement of six airbags and electronic stability control. Buyers with deep pockets can add carbon ceramic brakes, powerful bi-xenon headlamps and adaptive cruise control. However, we'd expect Isofix child seat fixings to be standard and not an expensive extra.
For a low-slung, two-seater coupe, the Cayman is surprisingly practical. The driver and passenger get plenty of head and legroom, while the cabin is stuffed with useful storage space. There's also a deep and well-shaped 150-litre boot in the nose, while the shallow load area behind the front seats will accommodate 162 litres of luggage, which increases to 275 litres if you pack to the roof – although it's worth noting there's no cover to protect your belongings from prying eyes. However, unlike the Lotus Evora, there isn't an option to add a pair of occasional rear seats.
Running Costs
Thanks to its lightweight construction, the Cayman is around 30kg lighter than its predecessor. As a result, Porsche claim a 15 per cent increase in efficiency, with the entry-level 2.7-litre car promising to return 34.4mpg and emit an impressively low 192g/km of CO2. Tick the box for the optional seven-speed PDK transmission and these figures are improved to 36.7mpg and 180g/km respectively. However, don't expect the Cayman to be a cheap car to run. Drive it hard and the fuel consumption will barely rise above 20mpg, while even the scheduled services will be eye-wateringly expensive.
Disqus - noscript
"Hey everyone look at me, I can't afford a 911!!!!" Is what you are declaring to the world when you buy this.
What a remarkably stupid comment. You could apply the same logic to anyone not driving the top-of-the-range model of any marque. The only thing you have declared with that comment is that you are indeed a fool.
The truth hurts don't it?! :-)
Duh this a different proposition to a 911. Rear engined vs mid engined...can't be compared
As someone who has had 911's, BMW's, Audi's etc and currently owns a first generation Cayman and Cayenne. I think I know my cars and can confirm that the Cayman is the best handling and all round everyday car I have ever had. There is no other sports car that can offer the pace, handling and luggage capacity in the same price bracket. Lagoya - your an idiot! Green eyed monsters - eh?
As a previous owner of a 944S2 ,968 Club Sport & couple of Boxter S's, i'm definitely with you on that one Lagoya. Fact is a "real" Porsche is a 911 & I couldn't afford one. Buy a Lotus instead cos thats what I did.
You voluntarily bought a Cayman? lol... Seek help! I would happily have a Lotus or a Z4 M coupe instead of this fake Porsche. Oh and it's 'you're' by the way.
you are totally idiot
porsche makes the best cars in the world
bmw and lotus are for irrelavants like you
i own the previous cayman s manual.
that car is perfect.
it's the best car in class
What a total pillock (Lagoya). Has it occurred to you that people may actually choose a Cayman over a 911 even if money were no object! BMW Z4 or Lotus? No accounting for taste
Pooh , It's still a butt ugly vehicle and general maintenance costs are a Farce The "add on " costs are crippling .The dandys will still buy them to flash their key fobs at all the exciting events they can find .

Cartoon: Bluelou on Jimmy Savile and the BBC
The cartoonist's take on the scandal over the late BBC presenter.
By New Statesman Published 05 October 2012 18:227 comments
My uncle used to cycle with the charity raiser and often he would come to my home with a glare for me, of course he was more gentle with my slightly older sister, Indeed weeks before this story came to Press, she stated "at one time his story will come out and people will know about the horrible man". We have not spoken on the matter since since the story broke, and she is silent, her choice too.
I am glad I was a young rag a*se boy then"
When both my parents worked we had uncles that would look after us, yes some abused, indeed I had brotherly abuse, but my brother is so saintly and above suspicion the truth will never out.
The brother that abused me went to events arranged by the church, he a saintly alter boy that went into the marines. Even three cousins spoke about someone they met one night in an alleyway and when two spoke it was thought my brother, well they got leathered with a belt, so they never spoke, my brother now has my son and his two children, or my grandchildren. Yes he manged to work his way into my family using the same abuse he had as when I a child, and of course he the non child - bearer has now my son and two grandchildren, his wife just thinks he is a kind man to the former dead wife, her child and two granchildren. Luckily I in old age have a good woman and it helps the years of his abuse when he came to my home, the curtains closed and things would happen before I got back off twelve hours shift. All the neighbours did not know he was my brother, the Royal Marine was her lover and the father of her child, whom he first saw two years later for the first time he had ever been there. She was doing the welsh village thing, luckily I have a daughter from the woman I went with at the time after i stopped going in bed with wife, she died last year from a carried disease and I had told my brother to leave it alone - he said to me "You are only jealous I am getting it and you are not", his wife has the same illness in Gosport too. He tells he he caught it in Singapore in the jungles, yes he had never been to Borneo. He is a man of God and she believes no other!
Can I make a citizen's arrest on query Peter who wants a law allowing grown men to use an adolescents anal cavity???
The good citizens of Broome, Oz, would never give Peter a moments rest if he had (a now 17 to 18 years),youngster in tow. This is why people as different as Peter as Hamaza adore Oz, UK, Islington. Hamza's UK expereince is like the kids who ripped the headscarves of the ladies. These poor kids allowed to get away with anything for years, then suddenly the law drops on them like a ton of bricks.
We are a nation of hypocritic and faux liberal bigots.
Saville was right in a way. Glitter a ludicrous figure in most eyes had a huge following of teenage girls who would do anything for him. Glitter was warned off. Parents in Vietnam and Thailand sold their children to Glitter. It was not like at the Bradford case at all where out of control young girls sought sex. Our corrupt politicians have tried to portray this as cultural sameness. Paddy pants down another hypocritical piece of whatever expletive you would insert here, knew about Smith and Portillo but these Parlimentarians like the saintly Foot actual said in Parliament they would use the law to stop this paediphilia being made public. Pantsdown had is menial secretary against the wall whilst Smith had his free children courtesy of our finest polticians. the Victoria Derbyshire showed what trash both the supposed victims and perpetrators were. Our long suffering policemen get the blame for everything. Our stinking corrupt polticians of all persuasions know a pleb when they smel one.

I'm not so sure that Sky will have such fun. Many voices out of the BBC have commented that this culture of paedophilia was not confined to the 'talent' at the BBC, but manifests in all its ugly horror in the commercial tv companies too. This story will run and run if an investigation is allowed to be made independent of anyone, however tenuously, invested in this scandal.
The Met are investigating just now too.

Thought this was a good idea:
Want to have your name on next season's Halifax shirts - Both Playing shirts and Replicas?
Well you can for just £25 *
If you make a donation of £25 (that will be allocated to the Halifax Independent Supporters Trust) you will get your name on the First Team home shirt and all replica home shirts. It could be your name or your kids, or even your grandkids. The names will be incorporated into the shirt design and will be on ALL shirts produced for the club, both Players shirts and replica too.
As well as your name on the shirt you will get Free membership of the Supporters Trust (normally £10), who will also be arranging for all those names on the shirt to meet Karl Harrison in a special meeting, when he will tell you his plans for next season, the reasons behind his thinking about why he's let some players go this season and kept others and how he plans to develop our young players into tomorrow's first teamers.
All funds raised from this initiative will be going towards the Youth Development in the Club, which the Trust has supported so magnificently over the last couple of years. We are currently signing seven new young players and there's other youth signings coming.
BUT there's a cut off date. ONLY those who have signed up by October 13th will be on the shirts as it will have to go into production on that date.
Imagine in the future, that there's a Fax home team shirt with your name on, that won the League or the Northern Rail Cup ... how cool is that? And not only that but ALL the replica shirts will also have your name on them too!! It's the ultimate Fax Fan Gift.
So if you want to become a part of Fax history, and get your name on that new shirt , all you have to do is ring the Club on 01422 342792, but remember there's not much time to become part of our Club history.
* Individual names only

By Gregory Phillips Staff writer
It's still morning, and the Cameo Art House Theatre lobby is silent. Chris Kuenzel climbs the spiral staircase to a cramped space full of stereo equipment, T-shirts, paper cups and the concession stand's supply of beer.
But dominating the room is the vintage Simplex projector that points out into the theater below.
"It's a '50s camera, but they put all these modern gadgets on it," says Kuenzel, who owns the theater with his wife, Nasim.
Picture the classic projector, with two reels attached to the sides, switching from one to the other as the film runs out, and you'd be wrong.
The Cameo uses a platter system, a chest-high stack of three flat discs, each about 4 feet across.
Each disc can hold about four hours of film. "Gone with the Wind'' fits with a few inches to spare.
The movies come in boxes of reels, each reel with about 20 minutes of film on it. Kuenzel tapes them together with a simple metal splicer.
"That's the way it's been done for a hundred years," he said.
Once spliced and wound on the top platter, the film - "Hyde Park on Hudson,'' starring Bill Murray as Franklin Delano Roosevelt - looks like an old vinyl record, with the point where each smaller roll ends resembling the start of a new track.
From the platter, Kuenzel carefully threads the film through a dozen pulleys and into the vintage projector, where a further series of sprockets guides it past the blazing bulb that projects the image onto the screen in the darkened theater. The film then winds its way to the second platter in the stack.
"That's it," Kuenzel says as the film spools into place. "It's ready to roll."
This ritual, performed thousands of times at the downtown Cameo and countless millions across the world, will soon be a practice of the past.
Studios are forcing movie theaters to go entirely digital. The Cameo has been raising money to buy the equipment it will need to stay open.
"This," Kuenzel says, tapping the top platter, "is going to be the world's largest lazy Susan."
Once the digital equipment is installed this spring, movies will arrive on an encrypted hard drive about the size of a VHS video cassette.
One of the Cameo's projectors likely will wind up on a table in the lobby.
"We hate to lose it," Kuenzel says. "We're film purists here."

How did you get into rallying? "Rallying is in my blood, with dad driving well before I was born. So it was the environment that I was brought up in. I first started karting when I was six. I competed in my first rally as soon as I got my licence when I was only 15."
What was your first ever car? "Before I started rallying I did a lot of time trial events which you can do from the age of 12 in New Zealand. For this I had my MINI, which I not only learned the craft of driving in but also the basic mechanics and preparation of a car."
Who was your childhood idol and why? "Colin McRae. I used to watch the video of him winning the 1995 WRC title over and over again and this is probably what has inspired me to do the same thing. He never gave up, fought the odds and no matter if he was last or first, he always gave it 110 per cent."
Do you play any other sport? "Not so much as rallying now takes up most of my life as does the constant battle to find funding. I do like to play a little golf when I have the time but generally I enjoy watching or playing most sports."
Which three people (dead or alive) would you most like to invite to a dinner party and why? "Firstly, it has to be Colin McRae, I never had the chance to meet him but always looked up to him. I would also invite Possum Bourne, again I never met him but he was a big icon for rallying in New Zealand. Lastly, Michael Schumacher. He's a legendary Formula One driver and I really admire how he came back to the sport and is doing it because he purely enjoys it."
What is your favourite holiday destination? "I quite enjoyed my time living in Barcelona, but nothing beats New Zealand, especially in the summer camping."
What three words best describe you? "Dedicated, focused and humble."
Where do you see yourself in 10 years from now? "Hopefully I'll still be in the WRC and winning rallies on a regular basis. We still have a long way to go but that's what we are working very hard towards."
And finally, what's your most embarrassing moment? "It probably has to be last year on the Vodafone Rally de Portugal podium after winning the Production Car World Rally Championship category. I was in front of a large audience and live TV and I jumped off the bonnet to go spray the team with champagne, but instead fell flat on my face..."

Shopping for long-term-care insurance is about to get even trickier for families—and potentially costlier.
Until now, insurers have charged the same premiums regardless of gender for the policies, which help pay for future nursing-home, assisted-living and home care. But beginning early next year, Genworth Financial, GNW -1.59% Genworth Financial Inc.

More quote details and news » the country's largest long-term-care insurer, plans to start charging women applying for coverage as much as 40% more than men.
The move is designed to better reflect the risks involved in covering women, who are paid two out of every three benefit dollars from long-term-care insurance, in part because they live longer and often have no caregivers at home, according to the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance, a trade group based in Westlake Village, Calif.
Other insurers are expected to follow Genworth's lead, says Jesse Slome, the association's executive director.
"Historically, the claims experience of single female applicants has been worse," says Steve Zabel, Genworth's senior vice president for long-term-care insurance.
Insurers have been battered by low interest rates and more lenient underwriting practices on long-term-care policies in the past that have led to expensive claims.

More quote details and news » have quit selling new policies in the past few years; others have raised rates dramatically on existing policyholders.
There are other reasons families might have to shell out more. "Insurers are eliminating certain discounts, and the underwriting is getting tougher," says Natalie Karp, a long-term-care insurance broker in Roslyn, N.Y.
Here are a few ways long-term-care policies are changing next year—and how to prepare yourself for them.
Higher price tags for women. Genworth has filed with insurance regulators to raise prices for single women in all states but the two that require unisex rates (Montana and Colorado), and it already has won approval in more than half. The rate increases are expected to be significant—more than 10% higher than Genworth charges single women now, Mr. Zabel says.
And they could wind up paying significantly more in premiums than men. For example, Genworth's North Carolina rate filing shows that a 55-year-old woman buying $3,000 a month in coverage for three years with a 3% inflation-protection rider would pay $2,000 a year—36% more than the $1,466 a man would pay.
Married couples who buy coverage together can still get a discount, because the premium will be the "blended experience" of men and women, Mr. Zabel says.
When a man's health declines, "a lot of times a woman is in the home and can provide some care," lowering costs overall, he explains. "Many times when the female claims, there is no husband. The female needs to claim almost immediately and winds up in a facility more often."
Married women who apply for insurance on their own would pay the individual rate for Genworth's new policy. A wife who applies with a husband who is declined would receive a discount—but not as deep a discount as an approved couple, a spokesman says.
Some people who think they have to apply as individuals might be able to qualify as part of a couple: Husbands and wives who are getting divorced but haven't completed the process yet can qualify for a marital discount "that stays with you for the life of the policy," Ms. Karp says. Same-sex couples and unmarried domestic partners also can qualify with most carriers, she adds.
Single women who want to lock in lower rates now might consider adding a "future purchase option" to a smaller policy, Mr. Slome says. That way, they can qualify for additional coverage later using their current health status while locking in lower rates.
A closer examination of medical records. Insurers are getting tougher about applicants' health. At the same time it starts charging single women more, Genworth plans to start doing blood tests on all applicants, mainly to confirm what they report about nicotine and drug use, Mr. Zabel says.
Genworth also wants to be able to look at some indicators of cardiovascular disease and stroke, the insurer's No. 2 morbidity cause after cognitive issues, he says.
Both moves—charging different premiums for men and women, and doing blood work—would bring underwriting for long-term-care insurance more in line with current underwriting practices for life insurance, Mr. Zabel says.
Genworth predicts that it isn't going to wind up declining more customers, Mr. Zabel says. However, it could get tougher to qualify for the insurer's best rates.
Insurers typically interview people who are under age 69 by phone to test their memory skills; those who are older often get an in-home assessment, Ms. Karp says.
She often advises women doing the phone interviews from home to stop whatever else they're doing, because checking email or doing other tasks at the same time can make them miss things, or delay in giving their answers. And for people getting a home visit, it's important for the insurer to see that they can get around well and have a safe place to live, she says.
She also is seeing insurers taking a closer look at medical records, with insurers asking to see medical records for specialists as well as primary-care physicians—often to see if a health problem was healed completely or lingers, she says.
Cheaper inflation protection. Many experts consider inflation protection the most important piece of a long-term-care policy, because people often hold the coverage for a decade or two before making their first claim and need to make sure their coverage value keeps up with rising costs.
In the past, the most widely recommended option has been 5% compound inflation protection, meaning the benefits increase in value by 5% each year. But it's also the most expensive option.
Insurers have started offering a number of less-expensive hedges, including 3% or 4% simple protection, meaning a $100,000 benefit would get $3,000 or $4,000 tacked onto it each year.
The upshot: More families buying coverage should be able to find some level of inflation protection they can afford.

Kidney transplant |
A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure to place a functioning kidney from a donor into a person whose kidneys no longer function properly.
Your kidneys remove excess fluid and waste from your blood. When your kidneys lose their filtering ability, dangerous levels of fluid and waste accumulate in your body — a condition known as kidney failure. A kidney transplant is often the best treatment for kidney failure.
Only one donated kidney is needed to replace two failed kidneys, making living-donor kidney transplantation an option. If a compatible living donor isn't available for a kidney transplant, your name may be placed on a kidney transplant waiting list to receive a kidney from a deceased donor. The wait could be a few years.
