Aston Villa v Tottenham
Defoe 57′ Bale 61′, 73′, 84′
Tottenham's Gareth Bale hit a second-half hat-trick as Aston Villa suffered a second successive heavy defeat.
Villa, who on Sunday were beaten 8-0 at Chelsea in their worst ever Premier League loss, had little possession but somehow kept Spurs out up to half-time.
But Kyle Naughton found Jermain Defoe to stroke in the opener from 10 yards.
Bale ghosted through on the break for the second, then drilled home an Aaron Lennon pass, and completed his treble after Gylfi Sigurdsson's cut-back.
After such a capitulation at Stamford Bridge last weekend there was great interest in how Villa's inexperienced young team, who had fashioned a 3-1 victory at Liverpool the week before, would cope with Tottenham's array of attacking talent.
Having been frustrated by a stalemate with Stoke last week, Spurs may have feared losing further ground in the quest for Champions League qualification, but their slick passing eventually clicked into gear as they moved back into the top four on goal difference with their biggest league win under Andre Villas-Boas.
Villa manager Paul Lambert made three changes from the team chastened at Chelsea, although the three central defenders from that rout were retained.
From the outset the home side sat back, their two wing backs rarely venturing forward and often forming a blanket of five camped in formation around their penalty area.
Stroking the ball around nonchalantly as if in a practice game, Spurs forced 15 corners by half-time, only five short of the record for an entire Premier League match, set by Portsmouth against Fulham in 2006.
Tottenham on their travels
Spurs remain the only team to score in every away match in the Premier League this season
Despite their dominance, however, the closest Spurs came to breaking the deadlock in the opening period was from two long range Bale drives, smartly kept out by the stoic Brad Guzan.
The American also rushed out of his goal to block Defoe's shot on the one occasion the diminutive poacher got in behind the Villa defence.
The home side introduced Marc Albrighton at the break and hinted at greater ambition, but their decision to revert to a flat back four proved more to Tottenham's liking.
Naughton found space 30 yards out and slid a perfect first-time through ball to Defoe, who placed his shot with the outside of the boot between Guzan's legs for his 10th league goal of the season.
At the other end Christian Benteke had an excellent opportunity to fashion an equaliser but with two players well-placed in the box he picked out a Spurs defender and the trademark Tottenham counter-attack that followed effectively killed off the contest.
Bale demonstrated both pace and poise, rounding Guzan and flicking into the net with his left foot from eight yards.
As Villa wilted again, Bale provided more ruthless finishing, finding the bottom corner after neat interplay from substitute Scott Parker, Kyle Walker and Lennon.
When Walker played an inviting pass for Sigurdsson on the right, Bale was again in the right place for the cross, and the 23-year-old Welshman lashed the ball emphatically past Guzan to record his first hat-trick in the top flight as Villa equalled an ignominious Premier League record of conceding 12 goals in two matches.
Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert:
"I'm not surprised by anything in football.
"Things can happen. You know it can happen, especially when you are playing one of the top sides."
Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas:
"It was very good from start to finish. We fully deserved it.
"It didn't happen for us in the first half but we kept our concentration and came on very strong in the second half.
"If one team was going to win it, it was us and overall it was a very good performance."

@176 - then why are we consistently better than you, for the past 17years or whatever it is now if your team is better??? Why does Theo score more goals and have more assists even though he plays less games than Bale and loads as sub?? I am as frustrated with Theo as most Arsenal fans are but his stats are impressive - more impressive than Bale's. There are plenty of our team you'd love, inc AW!!

Walcott isn't fit to clean Bales' boots. Compared to Bale, Walcott is sub standard. I wish the majority of Arsenal fans would just accept it and move on. There is only one player i would take from Arsenal, and that is Wilshere. There is no one else in the Arsenal team that is better than what we've got at Spurs. In fact, Spurs have two Goalkeepers who would walk into the Arsenal team.

Villa deserve everything that comes to them after the way they treated McLeish.
Sorry but my grandma could have done a better job than McLeish did...
Post 158 has it spot on... a manager with a plan is always going to be in a better position with the fans than a panic buy who was clearly out of his depth and almost got us relegated.
Commiserations to all you Forest fans...

Dont understand why the North London's second string faithful are in raptures because they scored four goals against a poor.Conference standard side. Gareth Bale would be a great signing for Arsenal though, to give Theo Walcott the occasional break.in the less important games.

@171 i think your better looking at the table midmay when it counts mate! no fixture in the PL is easy, however arsenal have won 3 games in a row now and have some momentum, and have the firepower to beat anyone on their day, something i believe spurs or everton (closest challengers imo) do not have. Facts are Arsenal are still one of the 4 elite clubs in the EPL for the timebeing!

Apple iPhone 4 review
Having picked up the brand new, slimmed down iPhone from Orange on the morning of the launch, we were not at all surprised to see that in typical Apple fashion the new handset comes presented on its own pedestal, displaying its undeniably sexy design. The glass-backed iPhone 4 is somewhat industrial in appearance but in a manner that sets it apart as easily one of, if not the best looking handsets available on the market.
Still boxed with a USB cable, AC adapter and a pair of the rather poor, infamous white Apple ear buds, the iPhone 4 is simply a beaut of a phone with the stainless steel and scratch-resistant reinforced glass façade bringing an air of elegance, style and desirability.
Having powered up and run the iPhone 4 through its setup process, the most striking characteristic of the new handset is its stunning 3.5-inch Retina Display. The colour contrasts and intense clarity of the 960x640p display is instantly noticeable as is the added pop it brings to the device. Images are displayed in acute detail, videos roll seamlessly and text on browsed web pages, emails and messages is perfectly crisp and clear. There are many words that can describe the iPhone's Retina Display, however, following first use, stunning, perfect and amazing seem the most poignant.
However, take the handset outside into the bright, albeit brief, British sun and the glare bouncing off the glass-fronted Retina Display could pose a problem. What is such a stunning feature indoors becomes, on first impressions, slightly too reflective when enjoying the summer elements.
The addition of flash to the iPhone 4 is one of its best new inclusions. Not Flash video capabilities, Steve Jobs would be having none of that, but an LED flash to accompany the handset's improved camera and video capabilities.
The improvements to the camera are something iPhone fans have been crying out for and the iPhone 4's inbuilt snapper will not disappoint. The new 5-megapixel camera sitting proudly at the rear of the handset, whilst taking what are essentially very good quality pictures, truly highlights just how poor the 3GS's camera inclusion really was. The HD video capabilities of the iPhone 4 are also an added treat, once again eclipsing previous iPhone incarnations on quality and posing a serious threat not just to other HD video touting mobiles, but pocket camcorders as a whole.
Around front, there is much of the same with the addition of a front-facing camera offering video calling possibilities or as Apple is dubbing it, FaceTime. Whilst we have yet to try FaceTime, stay tuned for the full review for that, the front-facing camera is a welcome addition and one which despite its small size offers surprisingly good image quality unrivalled by front-facing cameras found in the past.
Pre-loaded with Apple's latest mobile operating system, iOS 4 and packing the A4 processer found in the iPad, the Apple iPhone 4 packs a hefty and swift punch, one that upon further use we are sure will continue to surprise and amaze us.
Apple iPhone 4 review
Apple iPhone 4 reviewT3
Full Review
The Apple iPhone 4 builds on the success of the iPhone 3GS, but now it has a successor of its own - the Apple iPhone 4S
Apple iPhone 4 review
- Sleek Apple design
- Improved functionality
- HD video
- Signal loss issues
Following all the hype and hysteria we have come to expect with the launch of Apple products, the Apple iPhone 4S is finally about to land, leaving a trail of smartphones in its wake. However, don't go writing off its predecessor, the iPhone 4, just yet.
Despite being one of the most remarkable phones of the past five years, the Apple iPhone 4 landed with a troubling signal loss issue for anyone holding the iPhone 4 "incorrectly" – who knew prior to June 24 2010 that there was a "correct" way to hold mobiles?
Our findings so far are that when you hold the iPhone 4 with your hand covering the bottom left corner, there is a loss of signal. However, we have not found that this has caused us to drop calls or lose data connections when out and about actually using the handset.
Whether this is because we're subconsciously moving our hands to avoid the issue developing is hard to say. That aside, there is no denying that the Apple iPhone 4 is a stunning piece of tech.
iPhone 4: Size and build
The handset is 24 per cent slimmer than the 3GS at just 9.3mm thick, beautifully compact and elegantly designed with a stainless steel band separating the handset's scratch-resistant glass covered front and back.
It's this steel band, which is also the aerial, which seems to be causing the problems. Presumably it's something to do with contact between the metal band and human skin causing conductivity issues as putting a casing on the iPhone seems to alleviate the problem.
Bizarre reception flaws aside, the iPhone 4 is a great showcase for Apple's technological and design prowess. The combination of the new Apple iOS 4 operating system and a noticeably faster processor than the iPhone 3GS make using it a very smooth and enjoyable experience.
iPhone 4: Screen
The new 3.5-inch Retina Display is another big improvement over the 3GS – and all other mobile devices for that matter. With an 800:1 contrast ratio and 960x640p resolution – according to Apple, that's more than the human eye can process at that size of screen – the Retina Display sets a new benchmark for mobile screens.
The Retina Display is a joy to use indoors and at most outdoor light levels, although it becomes reflective and difficult to admire when in direct, bright sunlight.
Although adding a gratifying pop to images and videos, older applications and their icons can also appear dated and grainy on the new high-res screen – app developers will have to improve their wares for the iPhone 4. They'll also have to adapt their apps to allow them to be part of the newly added multi-tasking in iOS 4.
iPhone 4: Performance
Bringing the iPhone 4 to life is the same sprightly Apple A4 processor found in the iPad. You'd think that packing this hefty workhorse under the bonnet would drain the battery, but the new iPhone's battery life is not noticeably diminished from the 3GS, and Apple claims it actually lasts longer.
As noted, iOS 4 brings multitasking to the new Apple handset. This feature is reliant on the compatibility of apps, but this should cease to be an issue pretty sharpish: iPhone purchasers are not likely to look kindly on app developers who don't update to support multitasking.
iOS 4 is no one trick pony. The ability to create folders for your apps is another very welcome addition, as is the option to set homescreen images, scrapping the any-colour-as-long-as-it's-black background of previous models.
iBooks makes the jump from Apple iPad 2 to iPhone with the arrival of iOS 4 and thanks to the iPhone 4's Retina Display offers up text of impeccable clarity. Crystal-clear fonts similarly enhance web browsing, email and all other text-based functionality. The addition of iBooks will no doubt be a further cause to the iPhone's success with the commuter market
iPhone 4: Camera
Following repeated cries from consumers, the iPhone 4 now offers flash. No, not the Adobe version for viewing web video – that's just not gonna happen, so get used to it – but a scorchingly bright LED flash to accompany the improved camera.
Stills are not suddenly of compact camera quality, but they are undeniably better, and bigger at five megapixels. Video is much improved, with 720p HD video offering pristine and sharp detail on the Retina Display.
However, some detail seems to be lost when compressing for direct uploading to YouTube. In-camera editing is also straightforward, and you can add the iMovie app (£2.99) if you want more sophisticated editing of your clips.
In addition to the main, rear camera there's a second, front-facing one. This offers decent picture quality, but it's there for more than just vanity's sake. Apple, you see, is attempting to transform video calling from its current status as the forgotten starlet of the tech world into a must-have feature.
To this end, it's included the Skype-style Face Time app. Given that this works only over Wi-Fi and only between one iPhone 4 and another, we can't see it reviving video calling's fortunes, somehow, but it does work nicely enough, with much better video quality than on earlier mobile systems
iPhone 4: Verdict
The Apple iPhone 4 is another classic slice of Apple. In just 12 months Steve Jobs and his band have again redefined mobile handsets.
From the simply beautiful Retina Display to the addition of HD video, and from the idiot-proof UI to the attempted reinvention of video calling, the Apple iPhone 4 is a majestic piece of kit that will no doubt steal hearts. As long as that signal-loss issue doesn't prove to be a killer, anyway…
Apple iPhone 4 release date: Available now
Apple iPhone 4 price: From £319
Hands on
Breaking the seal of the Apple iPhone 4's cellophane wrapped, newly designed box, there was no fanfare or falling wave of tickertape, just a warm inner excitement and the feeling of anticipation and relief following weeks of eagerly awaiting its arrival.

What is doxazosin?
Cardura 1 mg Tab
Drug Name:
Other Brand Names:
Doxazosin is used alone or in combination with other drugs to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It works by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. This medication is also used in men to treat the symptoms of a prostate gland condition called BPH (benign prostatic hyperplasia, also known as enlarged prostate). It does not shrink the prostate, but it works by relaxing the muscles in the bladder neck and prostate. Relaxing these muscles leads to relief of symptoms of BPH such as the feeling of needing to urinate frequently or urgently, weak stream, difficulty in beginning the flow of urine, and the need to urinate during the middle of the night. Doxazosin belongs to a class of medications called alpha blockers.
What are the possible side effects of taking doxazosin?
All forms of drug:

Obama Likes Euroweenies So Much He Even Dates Like One
On my Twitter feed, I spotted a post by Patrick Ruffini asking a pertinent question… "What's up with Barack Obama writing out dates euro-style?"
Check out this photo as hosted on the White House website…
Notice that the president signed his name and then penned the date as "11 June 2009″? That is the European way to note dates, not the American way. In America we always put the month, then the day, then the year.
Obama hates America so much he can't even stand to write dates like Americans do!
(EDIT: I am hearing from several folks that don't get that I was just trying to rib CommieObamie with this one. I wasn't being wholly serious. Apparently I wasn't snarky enough for people to get that. Lighten up Francis! I'd have just deleted it but a few people commented before I got back to this one.)

Bank M&A Complicated by Failures
If a bank does a non-assisted transaction "and the FDIC comes in and swoops up a bank in a similar market
Lawrence Kaplan, a former senior lawyer at the Office of Thrift Supervision and currently part of law firm Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker's banking and financial institutions group, says it's possible that one of the parties has balance sheet issues that come out during the regulatory review process, such as a worsening credit picture.
An acquiror's capital levels are a key concern for any deal and "if the regulators get spooked or have concerns, they could slow down the process" or impose conditions in order to approve the deal, which may not be suitable or appealing to the involved parties, Kaplan says.
Regulators are also paying more attention to the structure of the combined companies and/or controlling parties of these deals and digging into whether a buyer has the capacity and appropriate risk profile to purchase a target, Kaplan says. This is particularly important as private equity investors mull deals in the sector.Two weeks ago, Royal Bancshares of Pennsylvania (RBPAA) canceled an agreement to sell its bank subsidiary to a private investor group because it could not secure sufficient capital to satisfy regulators. In October, Frontier Financial (FTBK), which was being acquired by a SP Acquisition Holdings, a so-called blank check company, could not obtain regulatory approvals within its desired timeline, and the purchase was canceled.

I have recently acquired this bike built by Albuch Kotter (German). I suspect the bike was built in the late 80's Note the Cinelli spoiler BB, racing number braze-on, Campag dropouts. The seatpost is 27.2mm. The frame tubes have external longitudinal ridges, which I can't find the origin of. What type of tubing is this? Any thoughts about the bike would be appreciated!

Ghost Beach
GHOST BEACH, the New York-based duo of Josh Ocean and Eric "Doc" Mendelsohn is part of a community of musicians and artists that are always pushing each other to innovate from both a writing and performance perspective. 'Being in New York helps us get these inspirations out almost as quickly as we take them in,' says Ocean.
Bringing together the two worlds of electronic and live performance is the ethos of a duo whose sound is self-described as 'Tropical Grit Pop.' "We like writing pop music. We draw a lot from the 80′s, including Peter Gabriel, The Police and Talking Heads," says Ocean. "Their music incorporated synthesizers and drum machines, had tons of energy and it had a very eclectic sound. From a songwriting standpoint, that is where we draw our inspiration and today we attempt to bridge the gap by using a similar sonic palette in combination with modern recording technologies including Ableton," added Mendelsohn.
So, if the upbeat and engaging hooks of songs like 'Miracle' and 'Every Time We Touch' bring up a slight aural flashback, there is good reason. In Spring 2014, the group will share their debut full-length album Blonde on Nettwerk Records. ghostbeachmusic.com

The Bold New City of the South is a weird but lovely one complete with a dysfunctional minor league baseball team, an affinity for merge lanes and a permanent identity crisis. Jacksonville, Fla. needed some hometown heros. Enter psych-pop duo SUNBEARS!
In 2008 SUNBEARS! became a regular fixture in the city's creative land and soundscape. The two blend jangly percussion, glossy guitar and endless cheer to craft their lunar Sco-Cone sounds. Optimism surges strong through the tunes of 'BEARS!. Chief songwriter Jonathan Berlin preaches positivity, love and rainbows. The verses literally emanate radiant sunshine. Berlin and Jared Bowser came together as kids, collaborating on musical projects first inside the church and then later out. JB and JB grew to become BFF, a bond that eventually nullified the demand to practice. Often SB! play a new song for the first time ever while already on stage. Although glorious and giddy via recordings, the dudes bring unprecedented joviality to their live show, incorporating vibrant projections and inciting crowd response. The proof is in the breathless audience members as the last tom drum strike cracks.
Late 2010 came and the 'BEARS! packed up the Scion to headline their very own national tour. They also joined the likes of Mates of State, Gil Mantera's Party Dream and The Black Kids on cross-country rounds, bringing their bliss to the masses across the nation. Among the masses of 'BEARS! fans is the tiny masses, specifically devotees of the children's musical show Yo Gabba Gabba. The band performed several dates on the program's southeast tour as well an episode featuring SB! original "Imagination Adventure." Here's a crew that does not demand the attention of only a certain demographic.
In 2011, Berlin and Bowser recorded their debut full-length You Will Live Forever at New York's Singing Serpent Studios. It dropped on Florida-based label New Granada last fall and has since enjoyed a limited-edition color vinyl run. The album loudly promotes peace and love in a unique method, littered with cosmic merry-go-rounds and phosphoresce guitar. Berlin's wife, Maria, crafted the cover's original artwork, accurately mirroring the SUNBEARS! technicolor pop vibe. Forever's glittery lightness earned the twosome positive press from NPR Music, Under The Radar, Some Kind of Awesome and other outlets. www.sunbearsmusic.com Continue reading →

Physical Plant
Physical Plant's sound charts a course through the musical regions of psychedelic rock, roots, pop, and funk, consistently incorporating varied elements without losing a unique sense of direction. The quintet has developed a sonic vernacular forged from the distinctive styles of songwriters Jake Elrod, Caegan Quimby, and Josh Scheible. From psychedelic blues barrages to complex ballads awash in vocal harmonies, Physical Plant's eclectic sound coheres around a driving rhythm section that brings listeners to their feet. Since 2011, the band's "breathless psychedelic ride" (Sara Moone, This Week in Sarasota) has captivated audiences across Florida. The band's second EP 'Wisdom Tooth' was released in September 2013. www.reverbnation.com/physicalplant

On the latest Ray Allen rumors
Thanks to a number of circumstances, including but not limited to waking up in New Hampshire (I'm from Massachusetts), driving home to find a busted internet connection, Brandon Bass' new deal, and needing to walk to McDonald's for internet access so I could work at SB Nation from 12-4 p.m., I'm significantly late on updating the latest Ray Allen rumors. My apologies to everyone. I will give each of you a shot of water if I ever see you at a bar.
Allen met with the Miami Heat today, and the Heat have been showering him with tender love and care since the free agency period opened. Pat Riley flew from Los Angeles to Miami just to be involved with Allen's meeting. LeBron James posted a picture of Allen rocking a Heat jersey on his Facebook page, Dwyane Wade tweeted that today is a very important day for the Heat, and yes, I want to puke at their public displays of affection, mostly because I'm jealous that one of my favorite players the past five seasons might play for any other team.
The Los Angeles Clippers are most likely out of the Allen sweepstakes after agreeing to contracts with Jamal Crawford and Chauncey Billups today, but reportedly might still be interested in acquiring Allen via a sign-and-trade for Nick Young (not that the Celtics are very intrigued by that potential swap). That leaves the Heat as Boston's primary competition (and perhaps its only competition) for Allen's services.
The Celtics can offer more money than Miami ($6 million per season compared to $3 million), a similar role (though the addition of Jason Terry could decrease Allen's minutes in Boston), a familiar geographical area and the chance to remain with a club that has (for the most part, though recent reports say Allen and Rajon Rondo have a bit of a rift) made him feel comfortable. If you don't think Allen respects and loves playing in Boston, re-watch his press conference after dropping Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals. But the 36-year old is rightfully worried about rejoining the club that seems to include him in 40 billion trade discussions per season, and came perilously close to trading him at least once at this past trade deadline.
Enter Boston's potential inclusion of a no-trade clause or trade kicker in Allen's contract, as reported by the Boston Herald. (A trade kicker would give him a significant pay raise if he is dealt.) If Allen was worried about his job security in Boston, the Celtics seem to be saying, he need not be any longer. If he returns to Boston, it will be with a promise that he will not be traded, at least without substantial compensation for his and his family's troubles.
The Celtics understand two things in their pursuit of Mr. Allen: 1) Even at age 37 and coming off ankle surgery, he's still likely to be productive because of his work ethic. 2) If they don't sign him, they won't be able to use the money on anybody else because of their current salary cap situation. That makes it essentially Allen or a minimum-contract free agent alongside Terry in the second unit's backcourt (unless the Celtics do execute a sign-and-trade deal for Allen, which is unlikely because the potential returns are weak. Plus, the Heat don't want to be sending any assets Boston's way). Obviously, the Celtics would rather have Allen.
By re-signing Bass and Kevin Garnett and likely adding Jeff Green soon, Danny Ainge has left no doubt that his plan is to bring back the same team he expected last season before Green's heart condition forced him into missing the entire year, then adding extra pieces (Jason Terry and rookies Jared Sullinger, Fab Melo and Kris Joseph) to make the Celtics even more formidable. Allen is one of the final significant dominoes of Boston's offseason that has yet to fall. The decision is all his.

Jumeirah Hotels & Resorts retained New York's J Public Relations as its PR AOR. Jumeirah, a member of Dubai Holding, operates 22 hotels across the Middle East, Europe and Asia, including that crazy sail-shaped beach resort that you see everywhere.
For American tourists wondering what they might do on a vacation to Dubai, Jumeirah recommends the travel documentary Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol. Dubai also requires a liquor license to consume alcohol, but here's a handy guide to buying it when you arrive and keeping it under wraps.
Small ship cruising company American Cruise Lines chose FleishmanHillard to promote its upcoming brand awareness program, created to share news about its status as the country's largest river cruise provider.

Sub-zero was shocked to see Smoke who came out nowhere. Not only that but choking the life of Sektor seeing a red aura around it just likes that time when they were trying to escape from Lin Kaui. Sub-zero know something was wrong this time. The aura around him stronger than last time.
"Smoke!" Sub-zero yelled before being pinned to ground. At first he couldn't figure out what was pinning on the ground. He turn to see who was, but all he saw was just fog.
How can fog put me down?!
While Sub-zero was struggling to back free of the fog. Smoke had one thing on his mind to kill all sense of reason was gone.
*ERROR ERROR* heh * ERROR* heh HAHA! Funny how you guys said I'm a monster! *ERROR* Now who the really monster *ERROR* Sektor studded out as static came out of his body. Smoke squeeze tighter wishing he just do this for ever. Getting rid of someone who one of his only friends and cause

"Steve, The (Weber) Yellowstone is great! I'm lovin' it more and more...It's definately a keeper. Thanks for a great transaction. If I ever get up to your neck of the woods, I will definately stop by!"
"This is indeed the best guitar shop in the Region! I travel from Indiana to DHG because along with the high quality instruments (accessories, videos, etc.) the service is incredible. There are dozens of shops, between Indiana and Frankfort, and I only do business with DHG. If you are into acoustic music, you will find this place is inspiring! Thank you Down Home Guitars! You guys do it right!"
"The (Martin) guitar made it here yesterday. It looks great and sounds even better. I am very pleased with it and with everybody I talked with at Down Home Guitars. Thanks again for your patience and professionalism. "
"Hey Steve, Loving the Santa Cruz OM. Sounds and plays great..Thanks."
"Hi Steve, The Mandola arrived safely. It is awesome. Thank you very much for your great service."
"Steve, Just wanted to let you know that I received the 000-M (Matin) last Thursday and I love it. It really is "brand new" for an 11 year old guitar. I put the new strings on and it really sings. I took of the pickguard plastic too.....Thanks for your courteous help and quick shipment (packed really well also). I'll definitely keep you in mind for future needs and will let my friends know as well."
"Steve, Seriously... thanks for all your help. You went out of your way and I really appreciate it. It'll be exciting to wait for the (Weber) Bitterroot I know I want anyway, and it'll make for a loud Thanksgiving. And you can bet I'll spread the good word about Down Home Guitars and their great customer service."
"Hi Steve: The (Santa Cruz) guitar is absolutely gorgeous and sounds incredible. The case is great too.I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I really want to thank you once again for your efforts and expense in making this a perfect transaction."
"Hi Steve. Got the guitar late afternoon yesterday. It was beautiful to look and the sound was wonderful. Guitar was just like u said it was. I Am happy to own this. Thanks for all your help and am looking forward to visiting your store in the future. "
"Steve, got the (Lowden) guitar yesterday and it is awesome. Love the way it sounds, it's absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for all your help, will for sure be on your site looking for my next guitar in the future. You guys are great."
"Thanks for ordering an absolutely fabulous mandola ! The Collings MT2 Mandola exceeded every expectation. The scale length is perfect for me and the sound is incredible. I was concerned about the heavier strings that are standard, but alas, with the great set up, it is easier to fret than my mandolin ! I can play up the fret board on the A string to hit many of the nigh notes on a mandolin. The larger sound box has a real richness in tone and sustain. I have no problem with hammer ons and pull offs, even with the heavier strings. My hands are not large. This mandola works for me ! It looks great, sounds great ! I am sure this mandola will work for any genre. It was well worth the wait. Thanks again. "
"Thank you for the wonderful parcel, (I) couldn't wait to get it out & boy what a beauty. What a gorgeous instrument to eye, behold, hear & of course the finish is true Collings detail. ...plus I have not be able to let it rest since it arrived. Every note, high or low, is crystal clear. Every chord is an aural delight & (the guitar) strums great. Seasons greeting to you all at Down Home Guitars. Thanks again. Mike"
"This is a jewel in the cozy downtown of Old Frankfort, IL. The store is this stellar layout with the finest guitars on site. Music concerts held here are well worth the drive! Get on their email blast!"
"Hey Steve, Guitar arrived, (Collings D2HSB) few things better than sex my friend however this guitar comes close...thanks for the little extras, they make the difference in return business."
"Steve, I got the guitar today and I just wanted to say thank you for your help in making this possible. I probably would have settled for much less of an instrument had I not found your shop. I appreciate your patience as I played just about every guitar in your shop! I am extremely pleased with the McPherson - it sounds and looks just as good as I remembered. Down Home Guitars is a great place to buy a guitar and I have already encouraged others to find you as I did, on the web. I hope to stop by again some day if I ever make it back to Illinois. Thank you!"
"I can't tell you how appreciative I am of my new koa R Taylor. This is a real collector piece; I don't think it has ever been played! I love the tone now and know well that koa will improve as it is played in over time. Thank you for your patience. I'll be sure to recommend your business on the Acoustic Guitar Forum where I have been an active member since its inception. "
"Hi Steve, I arrived in Hemet California last night ( Monday) opened the guitar case and fell in love , Thank you for everything , great service, and i will certainly be recommending you and your store to the many people I know , I have to go , I really need to play this thing!!!(McPherson) you know what thing I mean.

Once again you have delivered fundamental (but easily confused) tools of craft clearly and effectively. I find your concise, simply stated guidelines/concepts extremely writer-friendly!

As an example: "an –ing verb expresses an action that is still taking place when another action occurs." This easy-to-grasp notion can keep a writer on the straight and narrow.

THE CASE OF THE GRUESOME GRAMMARIAN

Sleeping soundly, I heard the phone ring, answering it.

"We found another one," Jonesy said.

"One of Peti Parti's?" I asked groggily.

"Get over here right now. Corner of Strunk and White," Jonesy said.

"On my way," I said, crawling out of bed and getting dressed.

Driving to the address, I pulled the car over to the curb and got out. The last time Parti had come to town a bunch of his disciples had committed suicide. So many that the department had coined a new term for them. We knew the Hungarian hood was killing the naïve fools, but we didn't know how.

Hurrying up the sidewalk, I ran into the office building. Striding across the lobby, I jabbed the button for the elevator. Tapping my toes impatiently, I dashed into a free elevator that stopped. Riding up to the top floor, I got out and ran to the office.

Collecting evidence, the forensics crew got out of my way. Walking up to Jonesy, I saw her hanging from a beam. Nudging me, Jonesy pointed out the knocked over chair beneath her.

"Damn," I said. "The last thing this city needs is another string of Dangling Participles."

It's one of the reasons I advise third-person for most novels. I know first-person, present tense is very popular for YA fiction.

Mixing tenses is another sign of hasty writing, and one I haven't written a blog post about - thanks for the suggestion, Terri! :-)Jodie Rennerhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-4430862590333307596.post-19768067054086743722014-02-24T10:39:51.340-05:002014-02-24T10:39:51.340-05:00So true, Jordan!

Nope, the fact that just last week a sharp-eyed editor friend pointed out a misplaced modifier in my draft query MEANS NOTHING.

I do have to watch sentence structure. In first POV, it is always a struggle to not start everything with "I" and it is easy to fall into the participle trap. Great technical post.

How about one on my other personal favorite that I have *cough* heard about others doing which is mixing tenses?

text: Friends and family of acclaimed Polish composer Wojciech Kilar gathered with leading politicians to pay their final respects at the musician's funeral on Saturday (04Jan13). Kilar, who composed scores for more than 130 films including The Pianist and Bram Stoker's Dracula, passed away aged 81 on 29 December (13) in Katowice, Poland after suffering from a long illness. Poland's First Lady Anna Komorowska and the country's culture minister Bogdan Zdrojewski joined members of the musician's family and friends and hundreds of fans at the funeral service, which was held at Katowice's Cathedral of Christ the King. During the service, Zdrojewski called Kilar a "gem in the crown of Poland's and world's music."

All rounder Albie Morkel, who sat out South Africa's Test series victory against England, joins the Proteas as they attempt to win the one-day series as well. The 27-year-old watched at home as younger brother and faster bowler Morne contributed to South Africa's first series victory for England in more than 30 years, clinching it with victory in the third Test at Edgbaston. England fought back to win the fourth and final Test at the Oval to save some pride, meaning South Africa won the series 2-1. It was an historic moment for South Africa and Albie now wants to complete a memorable double by helping his country claim another success in the one-day series, which comprises a Twenty20 international and five one-day internationals. "We've been playing some good one-day cricket, we were number one in the world earlier this year and we're a proud nation," said Morkel. "For us to come over here and win a Test series and a one-day series in England would be a big achievement and we're all really keen to do that." Having just experienced the pace and hostility of one Morkel during the Test series, England must now prepare for the versatility of Albie in the Twenty20 showdown at Chester-le-Street next Wednesday. He already has form for upsetting England during last year's T20 WC, when he followed up his 43 off 20 balls by claiming two for 12 in two overs to secure a comfortable victory for South Africa. Morkel has since experienced English conditions, playing 11 matches for Durham in the Twenty20 Cup earlier this summer when he finished with an impressive strike rate of 154 from his 11 matches having hit 11 fours and 10 sixes during his stay. "I've tried to keep myself fit during my time off and played a couple of games for Durham and then after that club cricket, but adapting to international cricket again is going to be my big challenge irrespective of the conditions," he admitted. "Getting used to the intensity that international players play at again is going to be my biggest step." He added: "The rest of the guys (one-day specialists) have been busy back home and they might be a bit rusty to begin with but they've got three warm-up games to get it right so hopefully we'll all be alright for the start of the series."

Pietersen warns England over complacencyKevin Pietersen warned his England team that he won't tolerate them sliding into a comfort zone after wrapping up the one-day series against South Africa. Despite seeing his hopes of a 5-0 whitewash shattered by the Cardiff rain, with only three overs bowled on Wednesday before the fifth and final match was abandoned, Pietersen said he was satisfied with the progress made.
Arthur threatens to axe seniorsSouth Africa coach Mickey Arthur hinted that some of the senior members of his team may have played their last one-day internationals following the 4-0 one-day series defeat by England. The home side completely dominated the one-day series after losing the Test series 2-1 in August.
Pietersen, Flintoff to be rested in SeptemberEngland captain Kevin Pietersen and all-rounder Andrew Flintoff are among seven players who have been made unavailable to their counties for the rest of the English domestic season. England coach Peter Moores confirmed Hampshire batsman Pietersen and Lancashire star Flintoff will be rested during September following the final one-day international against South Africa at Cardiff on Wednesday.
Flintoff puts newfound form down to promotionEngland all-rounder Andrew Flintoff believes his promotion to number five has boosted his form with the bat. Flintoff starred in Sunday's seven wicket win over South Africa in the fourth one-day international at Lord's scoring 31 not out to add to half centuries at Headingley and the Oval.

Where's Patty? Decades later, question remains
His mother and stepfather, the boy said, had drowned his little stepsister in the bathtub and buried her in the backyard.
It was the first hint that something terrible, even murderous, had happened to little Patricia Ann Wood, who lived with her father, stepmother and three stepsiblings in the Swanzey area in the 1970s - until she vanished without a trace.
Cpl. Mike Miles was the trooper assigned to investigate Patty Wood's disappearance. Retired since 1998, he said his memory of the case isn't what it used to be.
Patty was born on Oct. 12, 1972, in South Carolina; her birth mother gave up custody to John Wood when Patty was a baby. The little girl came to live with Wood, his wife and his wife's three children from her marriage to Stan Woodman.
"The story concocted down here when the girl was missing for a long period of time was always that she was with the mother," Miles recalled. "And the mother ... had been told a story by John and Judith that she had been killed in a car accident. So the mother never made any inquiries about the daughter because she thought that she had passed away."
Police did order the back yard dug up at the home where the Woods had lived in 1975, but they found nothing.
"There are old mine shafts up in there. Whether they had gone up there to see if maybe we'd found something, we don't know that. We never talked to them again."
Woodman even asked Judith Wood about Patty once, and she told him Patty had gone to live with her birth mother. "I had no reason not to believe it," he said.
Miles recalled when he interviewed the three older kids about Patty, "They talked about her being the one who was always being disciplined - more so by Judith than by John."
There was no doubt in his mind, Miles said: "She was lying."
"It was late when we talked to her, and the next day they were dead."
He heard the report on the scanner on his way in to work. "They were found in their car. They had hooked up a hose to the exhaust pipe and were sitting in the front seat with the car running."
After the suicides, local reporters began looking into Patty's disappearance; they turned up disturbing evidence of abuse.
And apparently, despite concerns voiced by doctors to child welfare officials, the state stopped monitoring the family.
If he had it to do over, he would have gone to the authorities the first time Keith told his story, he said. "And yes, I do feel guilty about it."
"I walked in that house, and there was Patty sitting in a high chair," he recalled. "This kid was the most unhappy, forlorn-looking kid that I've ever seen in my life, and my heart went out to that poor baby."
Judith Wood could be violent, Woodman said; when they were married, she came after him once with a butcher knife.
Later, he said, "I got to thinking about how the night before, they had driven by. And I said, 'My God, they could have taken all of us with them.'"
But he said his kids were "devastated" by everything that happened back then, and the scars remain. "It was such a scary time, and I still feel badly for my children, I really do."
At the Cold Case Unit's office in Concord, cardboard boxes are labeled with the names of the missing and murdered. Maura Murray, Patrick Merrill, Carrie Moss, Luella Blakeslee: All have boxes bearing their names.
If it happened today, police say, it might be different. With 24/7 cable TV news, a missing child gets noticed.
"I'd like to think that the system doesn't allow these kids to fall through the cracks anymore," Miles said.
"She should have some dignity in where she ends up at the end of life. She shouldn't just be in a hole, somewhere no one knows anything about."
