Sat Jul 23, 2011 4:32 pm The undersized Karim resembles Darren Sproles and contributed as a kick return man last season. He did rush for 52 yards in Week 17 when Maurice Jones-Drew was sidelined.
Fantasy Source Spin: He could be a third-down back one day, but for now Karim provides value only as a return specialist.

LONDON -- When Christine Ohuruogu finished second in the womens 400-meter sprint on the Olympic Stadium track, her parents strolled 10 minutes from their house to watch her run. And 10 minutes back.
Ohuruogu, born and raised in Stratford, the revitalized hub of the London Games, even had time between races to pop round for a cup of tea with her mum.
Growing up, we didnt like Stratford very much, she said of one of East Londons poor neighborhoods. We never would have thought that some day something as huge as this would come here and change the area forever.
Seven years after London won the bid to host the 2012 Olympics, Ohuruogu is proud of Stratford and thankful that many of her friends and relatives were able to visit Olympic Park, which used to be a noxious dumping ground.
Its been a proving ground for British athletes, who started slowly two weeks ago but with two days left in the Olympics, have collected enough gold medals to rise to third in the tally, behind only China and the United States.
Theres no place like home for winning medals.
Its an Olympic truth, and Great Britain is affirming that the home-team advantage is significant.
Big investment
Is it lasting? Not necessarily, but Great Britain is hoping that the $15 billion it spent to stage the Olympics was an investment that will inspire a generation.
As the Olympics roll toward the Closing Ceremonies finale, there is always talk of legacies economic, cultural, architectural and athletic. Great Britain, suffering from recession, unemployment, urban unrest, obesity and a general feeling that the country has lost its way, would love for the Olympics to serve as a springboard to confidence. Nothing brings on nationalistic chest-beating quite like the Olympic scoreboard.
The lords of the rings do have a grandiose vision of their Games. They may not deliver world peace and brotherhood, but they do deliver gold, silver and bronze for the host nation.
Great Britain, winner of 47 medals in 2008, is up to 57 and should hit the Summer Olympic average for improvement, which is 13 more than it won in the previous Games.
Going back to the 1956 Melbourne Games and excluding the boycotted 1980 and 1984 Games, every host nation has enjoyed a spike in medals. The one exception is the United States, which won seven fewer medals in 1996 than it had in 1992, but that had more to do with the splintering of the Soviet Union than the heat and chaos of Atlanta.
There are variations: China went from 63 medals in 2004 to 100 in 2008 and Greece only gained three medals from 2000 to 2004. But on average, the host advantage is 13, followed by an average decrease of seven four years later. The United States has won 94 medals in London with two days to go. China is in second place with 81 total and Russia is third with 63. The United States has 41 gold medals; China, 37; Great Britain, 25; and Russia, 15.
Even after the decrease, countries are still ahead of where they started, at least for a little while.
That residual gain is likely due to the continued benefit of infrastructure built for the Games, Ray Stefani writes, describing his statistical research in Significance magazine. Stefani, professor emeritus at Cal State-Long Beach, has studied home-team advantage in different sports. Also, many of those athletes enticed into competition by the Games remain in competition four years later.

BP Comment Quick Links
February 21, 2013 Skewed LeftArizona's Extreme Strikeout MakeoverWhen you talk about changing a roster for the grittier, as Kevin Towers has rather openly during a bizarre offseason at the helm of the Diamondbacks, you're going to get accused of using "grit" as a code word. Normally, it's racial. The fact that the Diamondbacks' push for grit coincided with the trading of their two prominent black players didn't help their look. But what if it was a different kind of code word? What if it did coincide with something quantifiable on the baseball field in how they made over their team? It appears that as the Diamondbacks were adding grit this offseason, what they were mostly adding was contact. Or more accurately, what they were taking away wasn't any racial checkbox but the "three true outcomes" of plate appearances, thus getting further from the Kirk Gibson career they've been trying to model. To review, the Diamondbacks had one of the busiest offseasons in baseball. They had multi-year free agent acquisitions like Cody Ross and Brandon McCarthy. They had swaps of established players, sending out Chris Young for Cliff Pennington and a Justin Upton package for a Martin Prado package. They had a swap of young guys, jettisoning Trevor Bauer for Didi Gregorius. As a footnote, they had a straight buy on the previously designated for assignment Tony Campana, paying with a couple of distant prospects. Through it all, they have become a much more contact-oriented team, and that might be what some of the grit narrative implies. There are no hustle plays when you strike out or when you walk or when you hit a home run. Those intangibles are usually associated with actions like getting runners over, taking the extra base, and other things you can't do on the true outcomes. The 2010 Diamondbacks, a team Towers took over in September, struck out in 24.7 percent of their plate appearances, the highest rate in history. Both he and outgoing GM Jerry Dipoto vowed to lower that rate, and after shedding Mark Reynolds, Adam LaRoche, Chris Snyder and Kelly Johnson over that winter or during the following season, the Diamondbacks did make contact more often.

cheers guys
would like them for my clio too, are they illegal?
Not illegal, yellows a registered headlight color as far as i'm aware. I run them. I eBay'd yellow tint, I bought enough to do both headlights and fogs for £8/ Took 19 days to turn up though :P
Lamin-x or flyeye kits search on ebay
okay guys thankyou, ive seen the yellow tint on ebay, isit easy enough to fit?
Whilst some cars do have yellow headlight bulbs (can't imagine why you'd choose them over white personally but hey) it doesn't mean you can put film over your headlights. Fog lights... Who cares? I can't imagine they'll help in the fog.
Yellow light penetrates fog better iirc. I'm sure I read that somewhere.
is it legal to tint your fogs black? - you know... sort of like how some people smoke their rear or head lights.
then again - I suppose having dark fog lights would serve no purpose in the fog tho! hahaa

"Great Weekend in Hot Springs."
Booked 6 months ago 1 night. Lynrd Skynrd at Magic Springs. Called and booked another night later. Staff worked hard to find 1 room for 7/5 Friday for my wife's parents who wanted to come and be with us. Staff took our personnel needs into consideration and took it serious. They worked everything out for us and our family as the situation needs changed. […] The front desk people are really good people like people from the South are supposed to be . We will be back there. Great location in Hot Springs. Debbie,Jessica,and Katie at Front desk are awesome. Great time in Hot Springs. 1-Thing.

"Beautiful Area/ Excellent Service"
You do have a variety of hotels in Hot Springs, yet this one is excellent.

very friendly staff, ample parking, and very clean plus real goooood breakfast.Expedia 真实住客点评
"Comfortable Rooms"
The rooms were large and comfortable. AC was questionable and my room never cooled down enough. Breakfast was good, the typical buffet fare. Pool left a lot to be desired - very small so one group of 4 kids pretty much took up the entire pool. Location was good. There's not much around right by the hotel that you could walk to, but it's conveniently […] located to get to different areas of Hot Springs without too much fuss. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评

"Nice for the price"
My family like everything about the hotel except the pool. My daughter had looked forward to swimming all day but took one look at the tiny pool full of little kids, including 2 babies, and lost all interest. Babies and toddlers should not be allowed in a pool that older children and adults are to use.Expedia 真实住客点评

This was by far the nicest, cleanest and most comfortable room we have stayed at in 8 years. The staff was very helpful and friendly. There were four of us, 2 which were elderly, the staff made sure we were close to the elevators for convenience.

Unfortunately, our baby got sick in the car on the way to the hotel and we had quite a mess to clean up, but fortunately for us, […] the hotel has guest laundry which was located on our floor so we were able to disassemble the carseat and wash the cover. Hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Many restaurants located within a short drive from the hotel. 阅读更多信息Hotels.com 真实住客点评
The Hotel and Staff were very friendly and professional. We had only a slight problem with Plumbing, but was able to resolve on our own.

Willowbrook senior coordinates St. Baldrick's Foundation fundraising event
VILLA PARK – To help raise money for childhood cancer research, Zac Prosek, a senior at Willowbrook High School, organized an event at the high school last month that raised money for the organization.
Prosek and his friends recruited 30 people to have their heads shaved as a way to raise money for St. Baldrick's and to show their support for the organization. About 20 students participated, along with school leaders Bob Daly, athletic director; Tom Cantlin, assistant principal; and Dan Krause, principal.
The event also included a bake sale, raffle prizes and donated food from local restaurants. In all, $6,300 was raised for St. Baldrick's.

As my wife and friends will tell you, I really don't know much about cars except that I own two and last year my family and I drove a Chevrolet Traverse 12,000 miles in 46 days as part of an epic family road trip we documented on this blog.
This week, at the invitation of General Motors, I find myself in Detroit with every car blogger nerd in the world for the North American International Auto Show (NAIAS) and even though I don't talk torque, horsepower or flywheels regularly, there's a couple of things I can tell you worth noting about what I saw here in Detroit:
'Green Cars' Will Soon Be Mainstream
The fact the Chevy Volt was named the auto show's Car of the Year yesterday is not just an ego-trip moment for General Motors, who I'm happy to see is back with a vengeance. In my novice opinion, I think the Volt's win is a watershed moment for the industry that shows that green cars will soon be mainstream. A car blogger friend of mine told me that the Volt won because of the three finalists it was the one car that a family can take anywhere, anytime, including road trips. (We'll have to test that theory out, won't we?)
I think the timing for this fever pitch around fuel efficiency in the industry could not be better for families because gas prices are predicted to spike again. GM's No. 2, Tom Stevens, the Vice Chairman of GM, told a group of bloggers yesterday that the fuel price crisis of 2009 will not take GM by surprise anymore because GM is already producing vehicles that are super fuel efficient.

Rick Mills selected superintendent of Manatee County Schools
Date: February 21, 2013
by: Josh Siegel | Staff writer
The Manatee County School Board chose Rick Mills, a former military man and chief executive officer of Minneapolis Public Schools, as its superintendent Wednesday night.
At a special meeting, board members voted 3-2 in favor of Mills, with Julie Aranibar, Karen Carpenter and Bob Gause in support.
Dave Miner and Barbara Harvey voted for former deputy superintendent of Marion County Schools Diana Greene, who earned heavy support from members of the public at the meeting.
After Mills accepted the position via telephone, the board took a final vote with only Harvey dissenting.
Groups who helped interview the candidates, including representatives from the Manatee Education Association, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the school board's Citizens Advisory Group and district staff, spoke favorably of Mills before the vote.
The Citizens Advisory Group chair, Richard Conrad, called him the only candidate who is a "game changer."
As the only candidate from outside Florida, Mills was considered an "outside" candidate from the start.
He didn't start his education career until 1991.
Formerly of Chicago Public Schools, Mills also holds 30 years of military administration experience.
When Mills left Chicago as area superintendent of 26 high schools for Minnesota, Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel tried to persuade him otherwise.
In letters of recommendation, former Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley and Arne Duncan, the U.S. Secretary of Education and former CEO of Chicago Public Schools, credited Mills with developing six military academy schools and 35 high school JROTC programs.
The board will negotiate Mills' contract immediately and finalize it Monday.
Mills said he will start sometime in March and is working on a exit plan from Minneapolis Public Schools.
Mills takes over a district in turmoil.
He will replace Tim McGonegal, who resigned Sept. 10, after he revealed a $3.4 million budget deficit. David Gayler has been acting as the interim superintendent since Oct. 15.

Treasures From Noble Collection
Man, how cool is this! Yesterday I received a catalogue from the Noble Collection company, which showcased some really beautiful sculptures and replicas for your desk or home. If I had room in my current place, I would totally jump for some Lord of the Rings gear, like the replica shown here. I also liked the Constellation Draco Compass and the Da Vinci Flying Machine. Very classy conversation pieces, indeed. Check out their entire online catalogue, or even better, order a print copy so that you can see them close-up in nice setting. You'll be impressed.

Helen's Daughter -- Giveaway
I am giving away two electronic copies of my ebook Helen's Daughter in exchange for reviews on the forums of your choice. I am trying to promote the book and boost sales.
Your reviews are your honest (but constructive) opinion; you are in no way obligated to say you liked the book (unless--I hope!--you truly did). You will not be attacked for giving honest constructive criticism, either in public or by private email. I am not the kind of author who argues with or belittles her readers. In addition, I would be grateful to learn about any typos you may find. Before committing, you can read a sample at Smashwords and Amazon; I believe the Amazon Kindle sample is slightly longer. You will receive a .pdf file which will be specially marked as a giveaway, to prevent filesharing. This is nothing personal, but something I do with all giveaways. I don't think anyone here would pirate a book, as it seems more prevalent with romance and erotic romance, but it is sometimes a problem.

The hand is composed of many different bones, muscles, and ligaments that allow for a large amount of movement and dexterity. There are three major types of bones in the hand itself, including the following:
Numerous muscles, ligaments, and sheaths can be found within the hand. The muscles are the structures that can contract, allowing movement of the bones in the hand. The ligaments are fibrous tissues that help bind together the joints in the hand. The sheaths are tubular structures that surround part of the fingers.
There are many common hand problems that can interfere with activities of daily living (ADLs), including the following:
Osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease, is the most common type of arthritis in older people. It is a slow-progressing disease that primarily affects the hands and the large weight-bearing joints of the body, such as the knees and hips. Osteoarthritis in the hands or hips may run in families, or be caused by injuries, overuse, muscle strain, or fatigue.
Heberden nodes, abnormal enlargements of the bone or cartilage - about the size of a pea or smaller - may occur in the finger joints, and may be aggravated by osteoarthritis.
The symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome may resemble other conditions such as tendonitis, bursitis, or rheumatoid arthritis. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
Treatment may include:
The following are the most common symptoms for ganglion cysts. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include:
The symptoms of ganglion cysts may resemble other medical conditions or problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis.
Initially, when the cyst is small and painless, treatment is usually not necessary. Only when the cyst begins to grow and interferes with the functionality of the hand is treatment usually necessary. Treatment may include:
Tenosynovitis is the inflammation of the lining of the tendon sheaths which enclose the tendons. The tendon sheath is usually the site which becomes inflamed, but both the sheath and the tendon can become inflamed simultaneously. The cause of tenosynovitis is often unknown, but usually strain, overuse, injury, or excessive exercise may be implicated. Tendonitis may also be related to disease (i.e., diabetes or rheumatoid arthritis).
Common tendon disorders include the following:
Treatment for most tendon problems may include:

Homemade apple pie
by: Sarah Fritschner
A great place for America'┐Įs favorite
operated for 47 years by the Jackson family in Warren County and Warren Rural Electric Cooperative member.
Every weekend in October, Jackson'┐Įs Orchard celebrates the coming of Halloween with Pumpkin Fest. There are activities for the whole family, including wagon rides to the pumpkin patch, a corn maze, pony rides, petting zoo, face painting, and more.
Apples are the big attraction. There are 11,000 trees (some of them peach and cherry) in the 105-acre orchard, turning out apples as early as June and well into November. The orchard is perched at 770-foot elevation, '┐Įthe highest elevation in Warren County,'┐Į according to Cathy Otis, daughter of Bill and Shirley Jackson. High elevation is good for orchards, providing protection from unseasonably early frosts that nip flowers and buds.
Of the 35 varieties available each year, five or six will be available for purchasing during October: Golden and Red Delicious, sweet Fuji, tart Winesap, Granny Smith, and crunchy Arkansas Black. It'┐Įs a perfect selection for home cooks. A mix of apple types will give your apple pie, cobbler, cake, or other dessert a more interesting flavor.
For many folks, fried apple pies are the real reason to visit an apple orchard in the fall. Flaky, deceptively light, and barely sweet, they are a Kentucky tradition.
There are caramel apples, apple cider, apple butter, and fried apple pies in addition to other good things to eat. '┐ĮAll of the apples come from our orchard,'┐Į says Otis, '┐Įbut some of the fresh vegetables and canned goods come from nearby farmers.'┐Į
For more information on Jackson'┐Įs Orchard, go online to
. The orchard is located at 1280 Slim Island Road, Bowling Green, (270) 781-5303. They are open Monday-Saturday, 8 a.m.-6 p.m. and Sunday, 1 p.m.-6 p.m. Find an orchard near you at
Fried Apple Pies
2 large apples
1Ōüä4 C sugar, white or brown, or to taste
1Ōüä8 tsp ground cinnamon, or to taste
Pastry for 2 piecrusts
Oil for frying
Peel and dice the apples and place them in a small saucepan. Add sugar and cinnamon and stir. Cook in covered saucepan on low heat until soft, 15 minutes or so, stirring often. Mash a little with a fork to create small chunks with some applesauce. Cool.
Put the dough on a lightly floured work surface. Roll to 1/8-inch thick and cut rounds with a large cookie cutter (4 inches in diameter), glass, or by tracing around a plate. You can make the rounds bigger or smaller, but adjust the apple-filling amount. In each round, place about a tablespoon of fruit. Fold in half, and press edge with a fork to seal. Repeat with the remaining pastry and filling.
Heat oil in a deep fryer or large saucepan to 375'┐Į. Fry the pies, a few at a time, 2 to 3 minutes on each side; cook until the crust is golden brown. Drain on paper towels. Makes about 12 pies.
Super Bowl Chili
1 large onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 Tbsp vegetable or olive oil
3 Tbsp Mexican chili powder
1 tsp cumin
2 lbs ground beef
15 1Ōüä2-oz can red kidney beans
15 1Ōüä2-oz can black beans
2 (15-oz) cans diced tomatoes with chilies
1Ōüä2 C tequila, or 1 Tbsp red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp salt, to taste
Saut'┐Į onion, green pepper, and garlic in oil; add chili powder and cumin. Brown meat, chunky-style, in another large pot. Add drained meat, beans, tomatoes, tequila or vinegar, sugar, and salt to onion mixture. Cover and simmer the chili for 1 hour, stirring frequently to avoid scorching. Makes 6-8 entr'┐Įe servings.
Submitted by
, Hopkinsville, a Pennyrile Electric cooperative member who says, '┐ĮThe tequila was my idea.'┐Į He adds, '┐ĮThe chili is really better the next day after spending the night in the fridge.'┐Į
Sarah Fritschner coordinates Louisville Farm to Table, a program bringing more Kentucky-grown food into local homes, restaurants, and institutions.

Area teams wrap up indoor seasons
Colfax-Mingo, CMB, PCM among large field Thursday
PELLA — Even with teams short on numbers or dealing with early-season injuries, three area teams' indoor track finales proved to be worth the trip to Pella in the long run.
The boys and girls teams from Colfax-Mingo and Collins-Maxwell-Baxter and the girls from Prairie City-Monroe joined a plethora of other schools at the Kuyper Athletic Complex on the campus of Central College Thursday night to get one last shot at competition before the outdoor season begins later this month.

Are your tresses in need of some good old-fashioned TLC? Then you are definitely in the market for a hair mask that will rejuvenate, revive and revitalize those strands.

Look no further than the Pureology Nanoworks Luxury Hair Masque -- this tub is filled with a deliciously creamy formula that will make your locks glisten and gleam with the best of them. It takes a lot to drag me away from my Kerastase Masquintense, so when I first unscrewed the cap on this oversized tub I didn't expect to be impressed. Well, color me embarrassed -- I seriously fell in love as soon as the delectable blueberry scent wafted into my nose. And as I scooped out some of the thick, rich mask and coated my strands with it, I continued to fall more in love with every second. After only five minutes, my hair was sleek, shining and velvety soft.
So what makes this mask so amazing, you might ask? It's formulated with tons of antioxidants like acai berry, pomegranate and blueberry, which contain Vitamins C and E to protect against the harmful effects of free radicals. But even cooler than that, Pureology's signature AntiFade Complex and Anti-Age Complex work to protect color and restore damaged locks. It even comes with a little comb to really make sure you comb the product through thoroughly and coat each individual strand. The end result is hair that's stronger, shinier and amazingly protected -- which is just so perfect considering beach-and-pool season is upon us!

Posted 10:00 PM 9/12/2012 : Close calls at school crosswalks
TUCSON - A few weeks into the school year and already parents at schools in the Rita Ranch area are worried their kids won't make it to campus safely.
One mom in the area called Kristi's Kids when she heard about two close calls and saw drivers speeding through school zones.
Ambrosia Clarke drops off three kids every morning along Rita Rd. She's certain that at the start of the year, the crosswalks near Mesquite Elementary and Desert Sky Middle were safer.
"After the police presence was gone, people just got in a hurry and started going through the cross walk and just putting people in harm's way," she explains.
Crossing Guard Michelle Francis started working this zone five years ago. She thinks most drivers follow the rules but some can put the brakes on your heart.
"They're making right hand turn right here, when they're not supposed to, when I have kids in my crosswalk.
Michelle's says she often sees violations.
"I've had people not even realize I'm standing out in the middle of the road. And they're still going."
Parents like Ambrosia say it's an easy fix.
"If you need to be somewhere, leave earlier knowing that there's traffic and there's school zones."
And excessive speed can kill.
"It's hazardous and the children need to be safe and so do the crossing guards," says Ambrosia.
Kristi's Kids also talked to the principal at Mesquite Elementary. Katie Dabney says speeding is her primary concern in the school zones. In every school zone, even when kids are not in the crosswalk, the speed limit is 15 miles per hour.

Tottenham 0 West Ham Utd 0 (19/03/11)Moderator: Gnome Re: T*ttenham v West Ham Utd: match threadAgree as all the teams at the bottom are picking up points when you don't expect them to. I can see us beating or equalling our record of going down with 42 points, but hope I'm wrong.
Re: T*ttenham v West Ham Utd: match threadWait, I've just noticed. West Ham have beaten Tottenham this year over two legs making it a 1-0 win (just like Tottenham did over Inter, remember!) so being realistic, that must mean we are better than/or the same level as them .
Re: T*ttenham v West Ham Utd: match thread
One win, one draw, one stadium.....hat-trick!!!!
Re: T*ttenham v West Ham Utd: match threadGreat result today, absolutely brilliant.
Felt the team worked for each other today and Avram got it spot on. I cant really moan about any of the players as they really dug in and gave it a go. We did have Green and the woodwork to thank at times but felt we also had moments in the game where the build up was good - just lacking the composure/final ball. Both our full backs were immense - I really did fear both getting roasted before the game!! But they were fantastic. The team had a game plan and stuck to it well - with a bit of luck involved. The spurs side has players full of energy/movement so we were going to be up against it at times - as Parker once said "its not always going to be free flowing for us". Well done lads and the support was immense......felt like 3 points!!! Avram and the players........you have made me proud today!!!!
Re: T*ttenham v West Ham Utd: match thread
Make you right, they were well drilled today.
Re: T*ttenham v West Ham Utd: match thread42 will be mid table this season. Its unique and a shock could become evident (e.g. Villa)
Re: T*ttenham v West Ham Utd: match threadWonderful day out. After going to this fixtures for the past 3 years (having 0 points, even NO goals), resturning with a goalless draw can be called a succes. Ok, still no goal yet, but we keep that for next year!
Terrific performance from the team. Just what we want to see as fans: a gutty display with a lot of passion from the players. Ok, we could've easily lost 4-1 today, but let's not forget they are a quality side. 0-0 at Tottenham maybe doesn't sound THAT good, but these days it's just the same as getting a point at Chelsea. And despite the clear cut chances for the spuds, I thought we had some decent chances to put one away as well. Cole should've done better with his one on one. Noble was unlucky with his overhead kick and only a wonderful save from Gomes kept Ba from another goal. Hard to single any players out, but our best players were Upson, Bridge & O'Neill for me. Upson gets a lot of critics, but just like the Liverpool game, he showed us what concentrated Upson means to this team. He was up for it, getting a lot of clearances and organising the defence. Bridge was immense at LB, considering he was up against two players most of the time. O'Neill ran his socks off. He won't feature that much in match compilations, but he is very important in this team. Gives us the much needed balance. I already read that our tactics were spot on, but I'm not sure about that. Ok, we dealt with them pretty well, certainly in the second half. But we were struggling at the left really, due to Hitz playing more in the middle than on the left. If Bridge didn't have a great game like he had today, we would have even more troubles up there. Furthermore, we didn't hold the ball up enough up front. But ok, as said before: we played a quality side: we dealt with them well. Quality support today, we didn't shut up for one moment. Demba Ba bababab Demba Ba babababa!
Re: T*ttenham v West Ham Utd: match threadI did the BBC predictor and we came out 15th with 43pts. Blackpool, WBA and Wigan went down.
For us I reckon Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea - anything is a bonus with those sort of games. Its the Bolton, Sunderland, Villa, Blackburn matches that will shape our season.
Re: T*ttenham v West Ham Utd: match threadGreat performance, nice disciplined display from the team. Was ****ing brilliant sat in a pub with loads of Spurs mates getting more and more pissed off
Re: T*ttenham v West Ham Utd: match threadyou ready for a long constructive comment?
... yeah thought so... **** game
Re: T*ttenham v West Ham Utd: match threadcan't complain too much though we go the 1 point we deserved.
BUT, from where I was listening, it didn't sound too good. I had to listen on 5live I couldn't make it down today. Just gonna check out the green save on 101 though
Re: T*ttenham v West Ham Utd: match thread
Do you support Tottenham?
Re: T*ttenham v West Ham Utd: match thread
I wanted it 1-0 to us! not 0-0. This is where the premier league is flawed. The scoring system. If both teams score 0 then the moral is no point should be dished out. I'm not unhappy about the result. I just thought when I came back here tonight I'd see a couple of "**** game" posts so I'm just filling it in to make me feel better. No I support Irons!
Re: T*ttenham v West Ham Utd: match thread
Irs an easy solution, defend 20 yards higher and pressure the ball more. watch wolves, they can do it for 90 mins and they are not exactly a world class side. all good teams basically stroll to the edge of our box unchallenged. all footballers love having time on the ball and hate being pressurised. if you cant see that we do this week in week out then you are blind.
Re: T*ttenham v West Ham Utd: match threadGreat result today, thought we looked solid and could have nicked it!
****ing brilliant day out though, great support as always, hamilton hall, inside liverpool st and the police escort were rocking, as it was in the ground! Proud to be West Ham today
Re: T*ttenham v West Ham Utd: match thread
I wouldn't say "great" result. Just a good result. We really wanted to have bagged those 3 points and shot up the table but sadly not. I can't beleive the amount of posts here bigging up just the 1 point and I in some sort of weird dream? We haven't beaten the ****ers since 90somthing.
Re: T*ttenham v West Ham Utd: match threadThe same chances in another game and we could have lost 6-2. Thems the breaks and in our position you've got to take everything you can get.
Still a very rocky road ahead yet ... but optimism rules.
Re: T*ttenham v West Ham Utd: match thread
I agree, good result, excellent defensive performance but plaese don't go overboard surely we haven't dropped so low to be 'celebrating' 1 point against Spurs of all teams. We didn't go this overboard after thumping Man Utd
Re: T*ttenham v West Ham Utd: match threadCome on guys lighten up ffs. We should have lost, Defoe played awful and Spurs had so many chances to really thump us today. 4 points from them this year, that will do my nicely
Re: T*ttenham v West Ham Utd: match threadAs the Boss says...thems the breaks..we have played brilliantly (well going back a few years)
and come away with nowt.......we deserved a point for our endeavours. Especially as we are in the bottom three and this lot are playing Real Madrid very soon....

Luxist Drives the 2009 Mercedes-Benz G550, and it Makes Us Glücklich
Filed under: Luxury Cars & Autos
The Mercedes G550 is an unlikely niche vehicle. As with perhaps every other military-derived civilian 4x4, it's a box on wheels, all straight lines and fender flares. Yet unlike most other military-derived civilian off-roaders, it comes standard with solid axles front and rear, three electronically locking differentials front, center, and rear, and, get this, heated rear seats. Celebs, trendsters, and the generally rich keep it in the public consciousness. When Mercedes decided to kill it, a general uproar caused them to belay the order. It costs $100,250, and has no options. Before we drove it, we didn't know why people dug it. After driving it, now we do: it is colossally fun.

Negative behaviors may signal unmet needs: Part 1
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/alzheimers-behavior/MY02160
- With Mayo Clinic health education outreach coordinator
Angela Lunde
read biographyclose windowBiography of
Angela Lunde
Angela LundeAngela Lunde is a dementia education specialist in the education core of Mayo Clinic's Alzheimer's Disease Research Center at the Abigail Van Buren Alzheimer's Disease Research Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
The transfer of information about dementias, as well as understanding the need for participation in clinical trials, is an essential component of the education core.
Angela is a member of the Alzheimer's Association board of directors and co-chair of the annual Minnesota Dementia Conference. She is a member of the Dementia Behavior Assessment and Response Team (D-BART), a multidisciplinary outreach service assisting professional and family caregivers in understanding and managing difficult behaviors often present in dementia. She facilitates several support groups, including Memory Club, an early-stage education and support series, and more recently, helped to develop and now deliver Healthy Action to Benefit Independence and Thinking (HABIT), a 10-day cognitive rehab and wellness program for people with mild cognitive impairment.
Angela takes a personal interest in understanding the complex changes that take place within relationships and among families when dementia is present. She is particularly interested in providing innovative and accessible ways for people with dementia and their families to receive information and participate in valuable programs that promote well-being.
"Amid a devastating disease, there are tools, therapies, programs and ways to cope, and it is vital that families are connected to these resources," she says.

Negative behaviors may signal unmet needs: Part 1
By Angela Lunde
59 comments posted
Linnie wrote recently about the meaningful life she shares with her husband even though the past nine years have included living with Alzheimer's disease. Linnie is the primary caregiver for her husband and she is fortunate to employ the help of others as well.
Although I don't know Linnie personally, I am quite sure she is a loving wife and remarkable caregiver. She wrote that she's: " ...always aiming to be loving and respectful, even in times when his behavior threatens to send me over the edge."
I think all caregivers understand what Linnie means when she mentions "his behavior." In caring for a person with dementia, the term "behaviors" is often used to imply some negative distress exhibited and observed in the person with dementia. It can include agitation, paranoia, resistance, or even yelling and hitting.
For a long time I have said to caregivers "Blame the disease, not the person." It's a way to help caregivers separate the person with Alzheimer's from some undesirable behavior, and to appreciate that the person with dementia is not intentionally acting bad or trying to upset, frustrate or annoy caregivers. I still maintain this notion, and certainly we should not blame the person for their disease. Yet, I want to be cautious that we do not simply dismiss or blame the behaviors on the dementia. To do so can have tremendous consequences on the overall well-being of the person with dementia, as well as to you, the caregiver.
It makes sense that behaviors such as agitation, yelling, hitting or uncooperativeness are part of a brain dysfunction linked to dementia, but here's what I want to make clearer — dementia itself does not create these behaviors. The environment, physical discomfort (pain for example), our approach and communication style are just a few things that can have a person with dementia behaving in a particular way.
A colleague of mine recently described dementia as a type of disability where one's experience of the world is shifting over time, and that the distress or behaviors exhibited by a person with dementia are purely an expression of need. I think most of us probably believe that much of human behavior is motivated by specific needs that have to be met. Abraham Maslow, a psychologist, talks about basic human needs — food, warmth, sleep, safety and security, as well as higher order needs such as the need for affection, belonging, love and self-esteem.
A person with dementia has both basic and higher order needs, including those for social contact, physical touch, praise, and a sense of belonging, purpose and control. Yet for people with dementia, their ability to satisfy these needs on their own diminishes over time and can go unrecognized. And as persons with dementia lose their ability to communicate their needs effectively though words and language, overt behaviors fill the void. In other words, behavior is communication.
Caregivers as well as doctors and other professionals tend to label behaviors with words such as difficult, disruptive or, worse yet, will label a person with dementia as combative, resistive or challenging. Yet behaviors are simply communication tools when language and other means of coping are no longer available. I believe one of the best things we can do for a person with dementia is to shift our way of thinking and view behaviors as neither good nor bad, but as a bold sign that there is an unmet need that requires attention.
If you accept what I am saying, then we as caregivers (family, friends) can play an enormous role in easing (and preventing) distress for the person with dementia and ultimately ourselves. Teepa Snow, an extraordinary dementia education and care specialist said recently, "If we can help care partners see the 'behaviors' as the tip of the iceberg and as something to be curious about, to investigate and to explore, rather than to judge, then we can change the entire paradigm."
As a family or professional caregiver how do you begin to investigate, explore and figure out the unmet need? Family caregivers may have an upper hand here because they understand better than anyone the personality traits, life history and personal preferences of the person with dementia. This understanding offers important clues. Yet family members can also struggle the most because this shift requires letting go of the person as they once were, altering expectations and changing well established patterns of communication.
In my next post, I am going to offer more insights as well as specific techniques and strategies for uncovering the message (unmet need) behind the behavior.
Until then, I think Linnie has some excellent advice, "While living with Alzheimer's disease is no picnic, I believe Alzheimer's disease is manageable if one can hang onto an attitude of gratitude, laughter and love."

Editor's note: A previous version of this article was published in July 2012. We've added a few items and updated the list. We'd love to hear about your own "incredible sights" in the comments too.
Temples that tower out of mist-cloaked jungles; a herd of wildebeest, one million-strong, trekking across the African plains; a midnight sky filled with stars.
There are some things around the world that provide photo-showing rights for decades.
We haven't got them all -- in fact we barely scratched the surface.
But we have picked out a few of the scenes that, if you're lucky enough to witness them, will invariably leave you spellbound.
Let us know what other beautiful sights you've witnessed on your travels in the comments
1. Sossusvlei Dunes, Namibia
Sossusvlei means "the gathering place of water" but you'll need to bring your own if you don't want to dehydrate at this, Namibia's most outstanding attraction.
The dunes have developed over millions of years, the result of material flowing from the Orange River into the Atlantic, carried north and returned again to land by the surf.
Climbing the dunes yields breathtaking views, including the Deadvlei, a ghostly expanse of dried white clay punctuated by skeletons of ancient camelthorn trees.
More info at www.namibian.org
2. Torres del Paine, Chile
In the heart of Patagonia, glaciers rise in the midst of mountainscapes and alpine meadows, close enough to hike right up to and touch. They make Torres del Paine one of the most special national parks in the world --- you'll never forget your first sight of ice on the beach.
Explora offers a four-night package including transfers from Punta Arenas, full board and excursions from $2,780; lastfrontiers.com
3. The great migration, East Africa
No sight in the world replicates the timeless drama of tens of thousands of wild beasts charging across the African plains in search of food and water while pursued by their predators.
The best way to experience the migration is via a mobile camp which ups sticks and follows the animals every day.
A four-night safari combining two nights in Singita's Explore mobile camp and two in a fixed location in the Serengeti costs from $5,110, including internal flights, full board and safari activities; aardvarksafaris.co
4. Star-filled sky, Mackenzie Basin, New Zealand
Picking out Orion's Belt and The Big Dipper is even more impressive if there are a million other stars distracting you from the task.
A 1,600-square-mile area in New Zealand's South Island comprising Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park and the Mackenzie Basin has just been designated the world's fourth International Dark Sky Reserve, making it "one of the best stargazing sites on Earth" according to Bob Parks, executive director of the International Dark-Sky Association.
Nature's Highway arranges three-night/four-day cycling tours to Mackenzie Basin from $995 per person. Includes accommodation, bike hire and luggage transport; natureshighway.co.nz/tour-dates-and-price
5. Cormorant fishing, China
With its mountain backdrop and shores lined with ancient houses, the Nanxi River in Zhejiang inevitably became the cradle of classic Chinese water-and-ink painting.
By drifting down the Nanxi River on a bamboo craft, travelers can enjoy views of locals doing laundry along the river and fishermen employing traditional methods of using cormorants to catch fish. The xiangyu is a rare freshwater fish unique to the Nanxi.

If you are waiting around, waiting for your credit to fix itself, that is never going to happen. The ostrich effect, putting your head in the sand, will only result in a low score and a poor credit report for the rest of your life. Keep reading for ways that you can be proactive in turning your credit around.
Don't fall for credit repair scams making claims like "Credit problems? No problem!" or "Completely legal new credit identity, call now!" Legitimate companies do not make claims like this, these scams will take your money and not help your credit score. Instead, research how to help your credit yourself and save a lot of money.
A good thing to do in order to get a good credit rating is by opening a savings account. This will let credit card companies know that you have the means to pay for loans. This will also give them the idea that you are responsible when it comes to finances.
Always pay your utility bills on time. Missed or late utility bill payments will negatively affect your credit rating and make it difficult for you to get a credit application approved in the future. If money is tight, ring up the utility companies and ask them if you can pay your annual bill in installments.
If you have been repairing your credit for a while and have been paying responsibly, ask your credit card company to raise your credit limit. Debt utilization, the ratio of your debt to your credit limit, is one factor that determines your credit score. If you get a limit increase, then that ratio will be lower, making you appear to be a lower credit risk.
If you know that you are going to be late on a payment or that the balances have gotten away from you, contact the business and see if you can set up an arrangement. It is much easier to keep a company from reporting something to your credit report than it is to have it fixed later.
To build your credit score, apply for secure credit cards. You decide in advance how much these cards will cover, so that you do not spend more than you can afford to pay back. This should help you manage your finances efficiently and build your credit at the same time.
With the new credit card laws in place, banks must now decline your card in the event of a possible overdraft. They will most likely try to get you to opt out of this, claiming that it is a service they provide to approve the purchase anyways, and then charge you a small fee. These fees are high. You will be much better off getting declined and using a different bank account or credit card for your purchase, than paying their fees.
One of the things that you can do in order to repair your credit is to get rid of unnecessary credit cards. It is good to only have one credit card because having multiple credit cards makes it easy for you to lose track of your monthly payments. This tends to be how people get into serious debt.
One of the best ways that you can do in order to keep a good credit score is to pay for a monthly copy of your credit report. This will allow you to see all the activities done with regards to your credit. If something does not look right, you will be able to dispute it before it is too late.
If you have a lot of debts or liabilities in your name, those don't go away when you pass away. Your family will still be responsible, which is why you need to invest in life insurance to protect them. A life insurance policy will pay out enough money for them to cover your expenses at the time of your death.
Get a credit report from all the major reporting agencies. This is the first step to take when trying to repair your credit. By getting the credit reports, you can dispute any reports you think are erroneous as well as to review at the debts you're responsible for. The reports give you a good snapshot of where you are.
One tip that anyone who is looking to repair their credit should be wary off is identity theft. Even if you are paying all your bills on time and keeping your balances low, identity theft can wreak havoc on your credit score. Always check your bank and credit card statements regularly. Be sure that your credit card company has a policy of calling customers when large or out-of-state transactions take place. Request a copy of your credit report and make sure that all your debts are actually yours.
While it may be tempting to close your credit cards when trying to repair your credit, it is actually best to keep them open. This shows your account as current, and credit companies report this good history to the credit bureau, which, in turn, helps to increase your credit rating.
If you are trying to repair your credit, try negotiating with your creditors. If you make an offer late in the month, and have a method of paying instantly, such as a wire transfer, they may be more likely to accept less than the full amount that you owe. If the creditor realizes you will pay them right away on the reduced amount, it may be worth it to them over continuing collections expenses to get the full amount.
If you are trying to repair your credit score, don't be afraid to open new accounts that you qualify for. Opening a new account, such as a secured credit card, and then maintaining that account in good standing shows creditors that you are trying to move forward. If the only accounts on your credit report are in poor standing, of course your score will be lower.
You don't have to be a financial wizard to have a good credit score. It isn't rocket science and there is a lot that you can do starting today to raise your score and put positive things on your report. All you need to do is follow the tips that you just read from this article and you will be well on your way.
