Port Vale v Plymouth Argyle, follow it live.
Do you have something to say? Leave your comment here...
Am desperately disappointed by the situation. Things look really dire, especially as other teams have games in hand. It feels worse than last season because we were down then but survived whereas, this season, we could have been ok but have headed downward. I hope there is something about the new manager that inspires the players and moves us up. I'll not stop supporting Argyle but I am at a really low point.
@ WILFWASTHEMAN, what a Wilf, do really want your club and ours to go defunct; OK so you are upset like a lot of us, but now is not the time to throw in the towel. If you do not want to continue supporting the club you use to love, don't assume all Argyle have the same opinion. I am not amused at the current demise, but we were there last term and survived, so I am sure that with John Sheridan at the helm it can be turned around again. Only this time we will be in better shape next term, when there is a better foundation. James Brent must be convinced of the realities of running a modern day football club, the criteria and although painful to the pocket, he must financially support the decisions made by JS. Living in hope.
@WILFWASTHEMAN. Guess I'll be one of the few that agrees with you. Barring a miracle there is no way Sheridan, or anyone else for that matter, can make a team out of this lot. As there is no money available, nothing can change, apart from team selection. It's been obvious for a couple of seasons now, except to those who chose not to see it, that we no longer have the resources to stay in the football league. So, thanks Mr Sturrock and Mr Stapleton for spending money we didn't have on rubbish, grossly overpaid players, who were given ridiculous contracts. You're to blame for this.
LOL at wiggys - dream on Port Vale 4 PAFC hammered. Only 43% of the play, next to bottom with other teams having games in hand. Hope the new manager is a miracle worker..just wished that Fletcher went earlier. How are we going to offload these players Wiggy's?
OK I am going to say something I never thought I would or could say - it would have been better if we had been allowed to die as a club when we were in administration. Like others I cannot remember when I last got any enjoyment from supporting this shower. if you allow for Rovers games in hand we are effectively bottom of the league and have become the laughing stock of the football world. JB - withdraw your funding and put the club out of its misery. I am very embittered about the club I used to love.
Got his work cut out. Now 2nd from bottom. First job show Chadwick and Feeney the door and bring in couple of strikers. Very depressing seeing us in the relegation zone! Brings back memories of last year and couldn't stand another relegation fight but no choice now I hope Sheidan has the midas touch

Oh, Play That Thingby Roddy Doyle
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Henry Smart is on the run. Fleeing from his Republican paymasters, the men for whom he committed murder and mayhem, he has left behind his wife, Miss O'Shea, in a Dublin jail, and his infant daughter. When he lands in America, it's 1924, and New York is the center of the universe. Henry, ever resourceful, a pearl gray fedora parked on his head, has a sandwich board and a hidden stash of hooch for the speakeasies of the Lower East Side. When he starts hiring kids to carry boards for him, he catches the attention of the mobsters who run the district. It is time to leave, for another, newer America.
In Chicago there is no past waiting to jump on Henry. Music is everywhere, in the streets, in nightclubs, on phonograph records: furious, wild, happy music played by a man with a trumpet and bleeding lips called Louis Armstrong. But Armstrong is a prisoner of his color, and the mob is in Chicago too: they own every stage — and they own the man up on the stage. Armstrong needs a man, a white man, and the man he chooses is Henry Smart.
In Oh, Play That Thing, Roddy Doyle once again gives us a prodigious, energetic, sexy novel, rich with language and music and, as Henry makes his way across America, teeming with surprises. It is both a saga unto itself — full of epic adventures, breathless escapes, and star-crossed love — and a magnificent follow-up to A Star Called Henry.
"Doyle stumbles somewhat in this sequel to his excellent 1999 bestseller, A Star Called Henry. Beginning with Irish revolutionary Henry Smart's arrival in New York City in 1924, the story follows Henry's subsequent adventures in advertising, bootlegging, pornography, unlicensed dentistry and keeping ahead of the former associates who'd like to see him eat a lead sandwich. After encroaching too much on a mobster's turf — and getting lucky with another powerful fellow's kept lady — Henry hightails it to Chicago, where he becomes the unofficial manager of a young Louis Armstrong. Though serendipitously reunited with his beloved wife and the daughter he's never met while trying to rob her employer's house, Henry soon heads back to New York to help Louis make it big. While just as brash and lively as Doyle's earlier novels, this one isn't nearly as focused; the dialogue-heavy narrative is interspersed with shifts in setting, time and plot, and characters appear and disappear with little consequence, their spoken parts hasty, repetitive and often perplexing. Worse, Doyle takes Henry Smart's charm for granted; readers unfamiliar with his previous adventures may roll their eyes at his arrogance and incessant sexual encounters. There's just too much material; any of the novel's numerous strands could have been fleshed out into its own book. That said, the novel is still a lot of improbable fun. Agent, John Sutton." Publishers Weekly (Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information, Inc.)
"Booker Prize-winning novelist and screenwriter Doyle displays his trademark sensitivity and wit in a tale full of adventure, passion, and prose as punchy as a Satchmo riff." Booklist
"A surprising amount of this nonsense is quite absorbing, because...Doyle is too lively and skilled a novelist to let it be otherwise. But Oh, Play That Thing is fatally overstuffed and chaotic. An uncharacteristic misstep in a brilliant writer's estimable career." Kirkus Reviews
"Written in a combo jazzed-up sassy poetry...Oh, Play That Thing tackles nothing less than what America was and what it meant to the surge of post-World War I and Depression-era immigrants." Chicago Sun-Times
The hotly anticipated follow-up to A Star Called Henry is a dazzling, rip-roaring, jazz-infused novel of America in the tumultuous twenties and thirties, that will take the literary world by storm.
Praised as "a masterpiece" by the Washington Post, A Star Called Henry introduced the unforgettable Henry Smart and left Roddy Doyle's innumerable fans clamoring for more. Now, in his first novel set in America, Doyle delivers. Oh, Play That Thing opens with Henry on the run from his Irish Republican paymasters, arriving in New York City in 1924. But in New York, and later Chicago—where he meets a man playing wild, happy music called Louis Armstrong—Henry finds he cannot escape his past.
A highly entertaining cross-country epic and a magnificent follow-up to A Star Called Henry, this prodigious, energetic, sexy novel is another Roddy Doyle triumph.
About the Author
Roddy Doyle is the author of six previous novels, including a Booker Prize finalist, The Van, and a Booker Prize-winning international bestseller, Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha. He has also written several screenplays and books for children.

Disney's latest animated film, which happens to be video game-themed, is going all out with the viral marketing.
After releasing some ads for its fake classic games, the studio now has interactive Wreck-It Ralph photo booths scattered around San Francisco.
A reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle found several of these photo booths and documented the experience.
The interactive photo booths are built into bus stops. The wall of the waiting terminal has what appears to be a regular Wreck-It Ralph promotional poster under the glass. Unlike your average advertisement, this one has a red button labeled "Press Start".
The reporter explained that, once activated, the wall plays a short trailer for the movie. That would be cool enough, but at the end of the trailer the entire wall becomes a mirror. A camera in the corner of the structure allows for the illusion.
The wall then takes the appearance of a portal and the reflection takes on the pixelated appearance of something out of a 64-bit game. From there, the wall asks for the participants' email address, and forwards the pixilated image to the user.
So far, there are only five of these booths that we know about and they are all in the San Francisco area.
Wreck-It Ralph is a tale about a video game bad guy that wants to change his ways. The movie crashes onto the big screen on Nov. 2.

Lance Cargill's $1,320 ApologySubmitted by dochoc on Sun, 02/17/2008 - 22:39
Here is Mick Hinton's insightful Tulsa World article about Cargill's costly mea culpa.
Should Speaker Cargill Step Down?Submitted by dochoc on Sat, 01/26/2008 - 15:09
(Update: Lance Cargill announced Monday he was resigning as House Speaker. The post below was published on Saturday.)
Does Lance Cargill still have enough credibility to serve as House Speaker? Is he just another player who apparently games the tax system in Oklahoma by not filing state tax returns or paying property taxes on time? Should he be trusted as a major state leader in determining how tax dollars are spent?
These are questions that are sure to come up after The Daily Oklahoman published yet another story about the state representative's tax problems. Cargill, a Republican from Harrah, apparently was late on property taxes for six straight years, according to tax officials. The property taxes were due on his law office in Harrah.
Earlier, it was revealed Cargill did not file state tax returns for the last two years until warned by the Oklahoma Tax Commission. Four other legislators, including three Democrats, were also warned about not filing returns. To his credit, Cargill has admitted to the press that he made a mistake in each case.
Cargill also faces lingering questions about how he handled some 2004 campaign contributions that were supposed to go to the Oklahoma Republican Party but, instead, ended up at the Oklahoma County Republican Party. Some political insiders also say Cargill was involved in a "pay to play" scheme in recent years that allegedly strong armed lobbyists into contributing money so they could have access to the state political leadership.
No one is suggesting Cargill give up his legislative seat at this point. Perhaps, the vast majority of voters in the Harrah area believe their particular elected officials do not have to file and pay taxes on time, though this seems highly unlikely, and they can always vote him out of office. The problem here is the House Speaker position is a significant one when it comes to budget matters, and the person who occupies it should be above reproach when it comes to paying and filing taxes on time because he/she has a major say in how tax dollars get spent.
Even The Daily Oklahoman, a conservative, Republican-supporting newspaper recently editorialized: "Speaker Cargill keeps making mistakes or showing lapses in judgments that give his political enemies more fodder to shoot down his ideas and attack his leadership." ("File folders: Lawmakers fail to comply with law," January 22, 2008.)
As Okie Funk has recently argued, state Auditor and Inspector Jeff McMahan, a Democrat who faces indictments in a political corruption case, should at least take an administrative leave from his position. New information in the case suggests he should resign entirely. His particular position demands unquestioned public trust. Okie Funk also believes Oklahoma County Commissioner Brent Rinehart, a Republican, should resign given the charges against him and the particular duties and influence of his position.
Speaker Cargill, of course, does not face criminal charges, but his position also demands unquestioned public trust. If Cargill does not step down as Speaker, it shows Oklahomans that everyone here can game the tax system. It shows, just like the McMahan and Rinehart cases, that it is politics as usual in Oklahoma in 2008. This transcends political affiliation and, unfortunately, remains a part of the state's legacy.
No Excuses: State Legislators Must File Tax ReturnsSubmitted by dochoc on Mon, 01/21/2008 - 15:43
I know Oklahomans without health insurance, people who make around $30,000 a year or less, and they have had to PAY more in state taxes at the end of year. But they filed their taxes on time.
So is it too much to ask Oklahoma's elected officials to file their state taxes?
The Daily Oklahoman reported Sunday five state legislators—House Speaker Lance Cargill, state Sen. Connie Johnson and state Reps. Don Armes, Ryan McMullen, Jabar Shumate—were warned recently by the Oklahoma Tax Commission for not filing state tax returns. Nolan Clay and Randy Ellis wrote the copyrighted story, headlined "5 legislators are warned for not filing" on Newsok.com. It is an insightful and telling piece of reporting.
Speaker Cargill's failure to file his state tax returns over the last two years until warned by state officials seems especially hypocritical. Cargill, a Republican from Harrah, pictured right, simply said he made a mistake, had a miscommunication with an accountant and hurried to file the returns. But the attorney's excuse does not add up. Is he so important and rich and busy he does not even know if his taxes are filed? If so, then he is completely out of touch with the vast majority of Oklahomans, who would never even think about not filing their taxes.
Cargill, in his powerful position, has much to say about how state tax dollars are spent, and that is why his failure to file his state taxes on time seems so hypocritical. As Clay and Ellis point out, he voted in favor of a 2003 law that requires state agencies to fire employees who consistently do not file state taxes. So should Cargill get fired? What about state employees who did not file their taxes for two years in a row? So does Cargill think they should get fired, but he should not get fired? This would be an obvious double standard.
According to the story, "Intentionally failing to file a state income tax return is a misdemeanor, even if no further taxes are owed. The crime has a maximum punishment of a year in jail and a $5,000 fine."
Johnson, a Democrat from Oklahoma City, was warned for not filing taxes in 2004, 2005, and 2006, according to the story. She blamed it on a 2002 divorce. The excuse seems bogus. Divorces can be tough, and there are often money issues involved, true. Many of us can relate. But common sense argues someone who can take the time to get elected to a state legislature in this country to represent taxpayers can certainly find the time and the means to file tax returns no matter what. How exactly did the 2002 divorce prevent her from filing taxes? She said, "the paperwork, you know, the ex has it and some accountant has it . . ." Can Johnson not obtain her tax-related documents elsewhere? How does a 2002 divorce prevent someone from filing a tax return in 2006?
Armes, a Republican from Faxon, according to the story, said he did not file his 2005 and 2006 returns because he had "too many irons in the fire." Whatever. Armes should resign his position as a legislator—a position we can assume he actually spent time campaigning for—if it means he cannot file his state taxes on time or, you know, maybe he can remove an iron and replace it with filing a tax return. Is he really that busy?
McMullen, a Democrat from Burns Flat, was notified he had not filed his 2001 and 2006 tax returns. According to the story, McMullen said he was a college student in 2001 and consequently did not have to file a return. Okay, fair enough. But he blamed his failure to file his 2006 return on "the rigors of this job." He, too, should resign his position if the legislature gig is so terribly difficult and time consuming. What if a welder or a mechanic or a teacher used the "rigors of the job" excuse for not filing taxes?
Shumate, a Democrat from Tulsa, was warned he had not filed tax returns in 1999, 2001, 2004, 2005 and 2006. His response, according to the story, was this: "It was a shock to me." So apparently he did not file state tax returns for five years, and it is a shock because by law he was reminded of this fact by a state agency. Shocking, indeed! Did Shumate really not know he had failed to file the returns? How does that even happen? Even if his excuse were true, what type of person would not know he/she had not filed a state tax return for five years?
No one right now is claiming these politicians owe tax money or are evading taxes, but the fact is none of the excuses pass the smell test, and it just shows again how many politicians today remain out of touch with the vast majority of citizens in this country. These politicians and others obviously do not have much in common with most ordinary Oklahomans, who would never even consider for a second not filing their state taxes.
I know Oklahomans without health insurance, people who make around $30,000 a year or less, and they have had to PAY more in state taxes at the end of year. But they filed their taxes on time.

Team Edward Weighs In
Regarding Matt Prigge's review of "Bel Ami," starring Robert Pattinson:
Did you see the same movie as me? I liked the film. Very near the book. While not a great film, it is entertaining and Pattinson is moving up the ranks. He is more than Edward Cullen.
RUTHIE, via philadelphiaweekly.com
Maybe you should consider a job change since you are definitely not qualified to critique this film. You seem to hate Robert Pattinson. I'm sure your opinion does not matter in the least to anyone. Mr. Pattinson could buy and sell you. He is one of the most popular actors in Hollywood. I read somewhere that there was a "journalist" that used to write bad reviews about James Dean back in the day. One day, karma bit him in the ass when his job required him to interview Mr. Dean. Mr. Dean refused the interview, but granted it to all the other journalists that requested one. The old saying, "Be careful whose toes you step on today, as they may be connected to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow" applies to you. Maybe a job change for you should be in order. McDonalds is always hiring.
SIERRA, via philadelphiaweekly.com
Everyone is entitled to an opinion, and I would never expect one to like something just because I did. However, I am really disappointed with the tone of your review. Surely, you were taught to do better work in journalism school. I do think Pattinson has potential that is still untapped. It is essential that he find the right vehicle and director. He does seem to have staying power and a very enthusiastic fan base.
GRACIE, via philadelphiaweekly.com
Singing a Different Tune
Regarding Leah Blewett's review of the Walnut Street Supper Club:
This "review" was mean-spirited, nasty and unfair. Eight of us recently went to Walnut Street Supper Club; every one of the eight is a regular diner at Center City restaurants, and every one of the eight raved about the food, service and live entertainment. The manager Blewett called a "boob" could not have been more professional and accommodating. We were told the entree prices had been reduced by $5 the week before we arrived "as a response to the recession." The entrees ranged from $18 to $24, which was a bargain for top-of-the-line steak and fresh seafood dishes. In addition to everything else that is terrific about Walnut Street Supper Club, owner Ralph Berarducci is one of the most generous and charitable restaurateurs in the Delaware Valley. So not only are you getting fine food, service and entertainment at reasonable prices, but a portion of your bill will be used to help feed some of Philadelphia's hungry and homeless individuals.

Tents Buyer's Guide
With so many tents to choose from, it can be hard to know which one to pick. Use this tent buying guide from Halfords to help you find the right one.
Camping is great for getting away on a budget with your family and friends, so buying a decent tent should provide you with memorable holidays for years to come. Use the guidance below to learn about the key features and benefits to look out for.
3 Key Factors To Consider When Buying a Tent
There are a few key factors you need to think about before buying a tent:
- How many people will be sleeping in it? While a 2 man tent may be the obvious choice for a couple, it's a good idea to opt for a 4 man tent for some extra space.
- What layout do you require? Some tents provide a 'living room' with separate bedrooms, while others have a single room for sleeping and living.
- How long do you want to spend putting up the tent? Larger tents can take quite a while to set up, whereas pop up tents only take a few minutes.
Types of Tent
Here are the main types of tent sold at Halfords - think about which would be most suited to your style of camping:
Family Tents
Spacious and often have separate rooms. See our family tents buyer's guide for more info.
Festival Tents
Perfect for a weekend listening to your favourite bands. Check out our festival tents buyer's guide.
Pop Up Tents
Pop up in no time, so you can start having fun as soon as you arrive. Take a look at our pop up tents buyer's guide.
Lightweight Tents
Small 1-2 man tents that are easy to carry. Handy for hiking, cycling and backpacking.
Compact Tents
3-4 man tents that offer a bit more room. Great for short breaks.
Large Tents
5-6 man tents that provide loads of space to sleep and store equipment.
Tent Protection From The Elements
Depending on how they are made, tents offer different levels of protection from the elements. Look out for these features:
- Hydrostatic head (HH) - this measures how waterproof a tent is. The higher the number, the more protection it offers.
- Insulation - this will affect how warm you are at night and protects against condensation that can build up on the inside walls. Double-skinned tents offer the highest insulation.
- Protection from wildlife - if bugs will bother you, look for a tent with mosquito nets and a rising groundsheet that will keep out crawlies (and also means less draughts).
Tent Extras for a Little Bit of Luxury
For a really convenient and more luxurious camping holiday, look for a tent with these added extras:
- Lighting point - some tents offer you a place you hang your camping light, meaning no fiddling around with the torch in the dark.
- Storage - such as built in pockets, helping you to keep the tent tidy and organised!
- Headspace - the higher the tent, the more spacious it will be, and you won't have to crouch to get in.
Another tip - If you're camping with a group, buying a gazebo or base tent can provide a great central point for you all to gather together, and will extend your living space.

I have made a program to get the latitude and longitude of a place (GPSTracker). Now using it i want to locate points in a locality which have holes / small pits. I think this will be possible through the use of location sensors in android whch will detect sudden motion as a person suddenly comes across a hole or a hurdle . How can i implement this in code and what changes do i need to do in my original GPSTracker program . Thankss ..

Series: Developing Mathematical Ideas (DMI).
Grades: K 1 2 3 4 5 6
Publisher: Dale Seymour Publications
Date: 1999
Ordering Information
Resource Type:Professional development.
Abstract:This professional development kit, part of the DEVELOPING MATHEMATICAL IDEAS (DMI) program, contains seminar materials designed to help current and future grades K to 6 teachers explore the meaning of arithmetic operations and understand how students develop these concepts. The DMI program offers field tested seminars examining the big ideas in elementary school mathematics. Each seminar is designed as a stand alone course typically presented over a full year to teachers who meet at regularly scheduled intervals. Seminar materials include a facilitator's guide with detailed agendas and background reading on the issues of facilitating teacher change; a casebook for each participant; and a videotape featuring actual students in classrooms organized around student thinking. The participant's book for this seminar contains 28 cases exploring the types of actions and situations modeled by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, and the ways students come to understand these operations for whole numbers and fractions. The casebook is divided into chapters that correspond to the eight sessions of the seminar. The introduction to each chapter describes the set of cases, highlights the general mathematical themes they address, and gives the reader questions to consider while reading the cases. At each session, participants discuss the cases and are involved in a related mathematics activity designed to be challenging to adult learners. In the course of the sessions, participants look at and discuss innovative curricular materials, consider research findings related to mathematics education, and create and discuss a portfolio of their assignments. References are included. (Author/JRS)
