Want more publicity for your band or solo artist website? Modern Day Peasants recently completed a new World Wide "Musicians Directory" with access from our home page. The page is now active. If you have any amount of experience marketing your music then you know how important it is to get your music and your website in front of as many fans and listeners as is humanly possible. Hopefully you have been reading some of my articles and you also understand the importance of search engine optimization. When a website is properly optimized it will bring a tremendous amount of new traffic to that website.
If you want to learn how to drive tons of traffic to your band's website you should consider surfing a bit through this site where you'll find loads of traffic driving techniques to use. The idea is to have as many locations as possible pointing to your website. It would also be wise to add your band's link to the new Musician's Directory. I continuously strive to keep our site highly optimized to bring in new traffic which will result in more traffic to your band's site as well. We are currently getting a little over 10,000 visitors per month and the site is growing at a rapid pace.
I was originally planning on charging a fee for the link but have since decided that in fairness to my struggling and even some not so struggling musician friends out there that this is not the right thing to do. The idea of Peasants is to help musicians. Your links will be free of charge. The music business is tough enough as it is. So please fill out the form below and be patient with me on your submissions. Depending on how many we get will determine on how fast I get them posted in the Musician's Directory. Free is a very inexpensive way to effectively promote your music. Once your website is listed in the directory it will remain there for life or until you instruct me to do otherwise.

The importance of breast cancer awareness was highlighted when two survivors held a charity cream tea in Helston on Saturday.
Ali James and Heather Triggs both have personal experience of the disease and now want to promote the need to have regular checks, as well as give something back to the doctors and nurses that helped them so much.
Held in Heather's garden in Tregarrick Close, a cream tea afternoon raised £2,240 – with more still coming in – for the Mermaid Centre, Sunrise Centre and Headland Unit, all at the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro.
Ali, who was diagnosed with breast cancer almost a year ago to the day and is still receiving treatment, following a mastectomy and reconstruction, said of the day: "It was buzzing. We're raising funds for these three centres because they have been amazing, but also for people to be more breast aware."
The former Lloyds Bank worker, who was a familiar face in the Helston branch for 28 years but is now a bra fitter for Marks & Spencer, said it was important women checked themselves regularly and also attended their mammogram appointments, as so many were not taken up.
Her friend Heather, who works at Kuggar Stoves in Helston, was diagnosed with breast cancer 11 years ago.
They organised an afternoon of cream teas, raffles and refreshments, which was well supported.
The pair thanked the businesses in Helston and the surrounding area that donated advertising, refreshments and no less than 40 raffle prizes, as well as all those who donated items to the stalls and helped man them on the day.
"We want to thank all our family and friends for so much support," they added.
Ali particularly thanked her husband Roger and sons Matt and Sam for their support, with Heather also thanking her husband and family.

1) The formula with this team is pretty simple, as it is with any team. We've seen good and bad from the Rangers through 65 games now. When they've been good, their top skill players have played well, their goaltenders have been sharp and they've defended. That has to be the formula for a team that still doesn't have a lot of big-time scoring, isn't very big or particulary rugged, but has depth, speed and a potentially very good set of defensemen.
2) So for two games now, the first line that is supposed to be the first line but hasn't been that enough, has begun to hang up a few goals, the goalkeep, Henrik Lundqvist has stopped big shots at big times (or, in the case of yesterday, all the shots), and defensively the Rangers have put away some of those horrid D-zone mistakes they made in the previous four games. So we'll see where they take it. This was a very solid win over a very good team — though let's be sure to note that this isn't the old Detroit Red Wings. The Leastern Conference should be thanking somebody that those old Wings were in the West.
3) Henrik Lundqvist. I know I've written this before, but Lundqvist — who got 59.5 million reasons to remain a Ranger for his career — always wanted to be here because of the franchise's alumni and how they are always treated, appreciated and, well, around. He said it long before the new contract and he said it again after he became the second Rangers goalie to 300 wins and tied Eddie Giacomin's record with 49 shutouts. So he ties Mike Richter's record of 301 wins with his next victory, and he talked, again, about what it means to him to be mentioned with those great names. Read my story by clicking here.
4) But Lundqvist has some work to do outside the record book. Giacomin went to Cup finals, Richter won the franchise's only Cup in the last, oh, 74 years. And to be fair, Giacomin didn't have overtimes and Richter didn't have shootouts. They had ties. But with seven years left on his contract, Lundqvist should make that a moot point. He ought to be miles ahead of both of those men when he's done.
5) And since we're talking about big names in franchise history … it's really early, but each day you go, "Wow" about Ryan McDonagh. I know two of his teammates have been all-star defensemen in their careers, but McDonagh really has a chance to be, well, can we go as far as to say the second-best defenseman since Brad Park? What's going to stop him from being that?
6) Chris Kreider. He took another penalty and he's got to reduce those, no doubt, though I imagine the Rangers will live with the aggressive penalties. But other than that, he had no glaring defensive lapse that I remember, was very physical and involved — before he had either of his two goals — and was a force in the game. Then came the goals, both of them scorer's goals. We put a lot of burden on Rick Nash, and rightfully so, but both he and Derek Stepan have to be better than they've been, and they sure were yesterday. For all the knocks Stepan gets around here — and he deserves most of them — he's still really good away from the puck. I can't imagine how bad defensively that line would be without him.
7) Which brings us to the Daily Nash-O-Meter. Guy was good for the second day in a row. Not so much on the 5-on-4, but strong on the PK, and very effective at 5-on-5, IMO. The needle is starting to point north again.
8) Good for Brian Boyle, who clobbered a couple of Red Wings and made his usual assortment of smart defensive plays — but, you know, sucks according to a lot of fans when he doesn't score. So he scored. So now he's good, right? I don't have any idea what the Rangers' intentions are with Boyle, or what his are about free agency, but I think he would fit very nicely into Detroit's system if Glen Sather lets him go. (The Red Wings sure do interfere a lot. Holy smokes).
9) Well, we found out that Martin St. Louis can do a swan dive. You can see that in these last 17 games, he's going to win a few for the Rangers. The guy is just one of the elite players in the game, and we've seen how he scores in bunches.
10) John Moore. His first period was kinda of a young Sergei Zubov type game — helping both teams stay in it. But after a couple of bumbles and a few terrific plays, I thought he gave the Rangers a ton of strong shifts. Guy can skate and loves to join the play, and his coaches want him to do it … maybe he needs a reminder sometimes. Maybe it's confidence. Whatever it is, you can see the upside, can't you?
11) Dominic Moore is one of those guys you don't appreciate until you see him every day. Hard to believe so many teams let him go. So smart, got a little bit of an edge, can skate and, obviously, will score a few goals for you. Wouldn't you have loved to see Moore somehow deck Todd Bertuzzi on the 10-year-anniversary of Bertuzzi's criminal ending of brother Steve Moore's career?
12) You don't normally associate those two rosters with that type of play, but the game was pretty nasty.
13) And the two fine referees of the day, Mr. Ghislain Hebert and Mr. Tom Kowal just let it escalate. To be very clear, I like a little nasty in my hockey, but when they make all those pansy calls all season long, well, you just can't believe that all of a sudden the rules changed. In a season overloaded with bad officiating, this game took the cake. El stinko.
14) About that New York Post report about Anton Stralman turning down three years, $3M per during the Olympic break: I have no reason to believe it's not true. So I don't know what he thinks he's going to get on the open market, or if the Rangers have a number where they'd be willing to go to keep him. If he has a strong stretch drive, or a good playoff, Stralman could conceivably get considerably more. I like him on the second pair a lot more than Kevin Klein, and I like Klein a lot more on the third pair with John Moore.
15) Just because it's getting late now (17 games left … the Rangers play three in a row and 10 of the next 13 on the road) let's rehash the playoff scenario in the new, ill-conceived NHL realignment. This year, the second- and third-place teams in each division will play each other in the first round. The division winners will each play one of the wild cards in the first round. So as of right now, the Rangers, in second, would host the third-place Flyers in the first round. It is critical to finish top three, for very obvious reasons … not the least of which is that the fourth-place team certainly is not guaranteed a wild card. Both wild cards could come from the other division.

First time Grammy winner Rihanna involved in a car crash following the prestigious Grammy Awards on Sunday night, February 10.
Winning her first Grammy ever, Rihanna reportedly got into a fender bender on Sunday night, February 10 soon following the Grammy Awards celebration.
The singer was leaving the Island Def Jam party and on her way getting into her waiting SUV when before having time to leave another car veered off the road and smashed into her parked vehicle. Fortunately no one was injured.
Confirming the minor car accident, a representative for Rihanna revealed "Rihanna was inside her car outside the Island Def Jam party when another vehicle rammed into it. Fortunately no one was injured."
Rihanna claimed Best Rap/Sung Collaboration Grammy at the 50th annual awards show Sunday night for her hit song, "Umbrella," featuring rap icon Jay-Z.

Entrepreneurship and Japanese Industrialization in Historical Perspective
Studies of entrepreneurship in nineteenth century Japan typically focus on the activities of leading industrialists who founded large, family-owned conglomerates known as zaibatsu. These individuals do not conform well with the archetypal Schumpeterian entrepreneur, but this discrepancy may be more an issue of context than behavior. However, due to a lack of documentation for smaller independent firms, it is difficult to make this comparison. To broaden the scope of analysis, I use data drawn from corporate genealogies, which provide a more complete cross-section of entrepreneurial activity. This dataset of firm entry during the Meiji Period (1868-1912) covers a wide range of industries, allowing me to analyze aspects of Japan's early industrialization that heretofore have relied on anecdotal or case evidence. I also propose a game-theoretic model of entry appropriate for entrepreneurs in late developing economies that exploit the qualitative nature of these data.

Curbside record set last month for recyclables
About 80,000 pounds of recyclables were collected citywide last month, breaking the Dunedin's curbside recycling record. The 40 tons of plastic, glass, paper, cardboard and cans outpaced last December's 36 tons, city records show, because of more homes and businesses signing up for the program. Last year, the city collected more than 390 tons of recycled material. In January 2007, the city collected 18 tons — less than half the new record. To sign up for curbside recycling, contact Valerie Brown, the city's sustainability coordinator, at (727) 298-3215, ext. 24.

Rolls-Royce Wraith materialises in Geneva
The arrival of a Rolls-Royce, be it at the country club or on the motor show stand, is always an occasion.
Doubly so when the Rolls-Royce in question is the most powerful model in the brand's 109-year history. Debuting to fanfare in Geneva on 5 March, the rakish Wraith builds on the sporting nature of the marque's Ghost sedan with more power, more dynamism and a thoroughly new fastback profile.
Behind the Wraith's recessed grille lurks a V12 engine producing a Promethean 624 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. That is sufficient to move the big roller to 60mph in a 4.4 seconds, the brand claims. (No slouch, the 563hp Ghost can make the sprint in 4.7 seconds.) The Wraith is awash in advanced technology, including the world's first Satellite Aided Transmission. The system monitors GPS location data and current driving style, prompting the 8-speed ZF automatic box to pick the most appropriate gear for what lies ahead, be it hills, sweeping corners, roundabouts or the Monaco shoreline.
Per tradition, the Wraith wraps its fortunate occupants in opulence, including swaths of a light-toned wood veneer and what the brand calls "Phantom-grade leather", referring to the buttery hides in the marque's flagship model. Accessed through rear-hinged coach doors, the cabin accommodates four, and the two rear seats, despite the sweeping roofline, are surprisingly commodious. And, for those who desire a dose of Vegas glitz, the Wraith offers the previously Phantom-only Starlight Headliner, which creates a virtual night sky with 1,340 fibre-optic lamps woven into the fabric above the driver and passengers. The headliner is an $8,100 option on the Phantom, and will likely command a similar sum in the Wraith.
In Europe, where the Wraith goes on sale late this year, Rolls-Royce will relieve buyers of 245,000 euros for the privilege of ownership (roughly $330,000, plus tax). There was no word on a North American release date or pricing.
Journalists in Geneva were making comparisons with the Bentley Continental GT, the voluptuous grand tourer from the Rolls-Royce's former sister brand. Indeed, there are similarities on several fronts – performance and British pedigree, primarily. But with a starting price roughly $100,000 higher than that of the Continental GT, the Wraith is one of those truly rare automobiles that exist in a class of one.

Brandeis field goal caps off miraculous finish
Updated 1:14 am, Sunday, September 22, 2013
The clock read zeroes, and O'Connor's sideline was celebrating, but there was a penalty flag on the field.
The Panthers' celebration had begun too soon.
After a field goal with eight seconds left gave O'Connor the lead, Brandeis had time for one play. During the Broncos' last-ditch, multi-lateral play, O'Connor players ran onto the field thinking the game was over. It wasn't, as Dayden Wooster found his way to the Panthers' 26.
O'Connor was penalized for a sideline infraction, giving Brandeis one untimed down at the 13-yard line, and Patricio Botello hit a 30-yard field goal to give the Broncos a 12-10 victory.
"Craziest game ever," Wooster said. "Our rivalry is as big as the playoffs for us, and now this happens. We just kept fighting."
The final play was just part of a crazy finish between the District 27-5A rivals on Saturday in front of 8,682 at Farris Stadium.
Sports Channel
Trailing 9-7, O'Connor's Peyton Dees recovered a Brandeis fumble near midfield with 1:20 remaining. Panthers quarterback Zach Galindo, limping since a right ankle injury in the first quarter, engineered a drive with no timeouts left that set up Chandler Coleman's 29-yard field goal, giving the No. 6 Panthers (2-2, 1-1 district) the lead.
After a pooch kickoff, No. 7 Brandeis (3-1, 2-0) had the ball at its own 26. Brian Chapman threw a short pass to Larry Stephens, who lateraled to Wooster. Another lateral went to Peyton Hall, who was nearly tackled, and at that moment O'Connor players began running onto the field from the bench. Hall somehow got the ball back to Wooster to keep the play and game alive.
"We just lost a heck of a game, and it's a shame it had to end like that for us," O'Connor coach David Malesky said.
With one untimed down after the penalty, Botello rushed onto the field for the 30-yard game-winner. He had made 1 of 3 field goals before the final attempt and had an extra point blocked. On the last kick, he said he knew Brandeis won as soon as his foot hit the ball.
"I was so nervous," Botello said. "But everything was so rushed that I had my mind focused. This is amazing."

'Two and a Half Men' Season 10 Falls for Miley Cyrus
Well if you're going to go down, go down singing, right Is that how that goes? Hmm. It's still unknown whether or not 'Two and a Half Men' will begin its final season when the tenth year debuts on September 27, or if an eleventh season is in the cards, but for now things are certainly kicking off with a bang. We'd already heard that legendary singer Michael Bolton would be dropping by the show as himself, but now edgy pop sensation Miley Cyrus is the latest big name attached to 'Two and a Half Men' season 10. The real question is, who will she play, and for how long?

Widnes opened their account in North One West, with a tough, hard earned victory at Round Ash Park.
As expected, it was nip and tuck all the way through with Leigh knocking over a couple of first half penalties from Grundy, and Widnes replying with one from Dave Welsh to make it 6 – 3 at half time. A stiff talking to at the break got Widnes moving, and on 45 minutes Paul Borg crossed for a try in the corner with Welsh adding a booming touchline conversion.
A further exchange of penalties made it 13 – 9, before a speculative up and under from George Lang paid dividends as the ball found its way to Dave Welsh who scored in the corner to wrap up the victory.
There was still time for Leigh to get themselves another penalty, which Grundy converted to earn the home side a bonus point.
In the other senior games, both the Second and Third teams lost against Leigh and St Edwards Old Boys respectively.

Vanilla Almond Butter
Recipe by Sharon123
So good with apple slices, on toasted English muffins, with grahm crackers. Adapted from the California Almond Board.
Top Review by Lalaloula
This recipe is just awesome!!!! The almond butter tastes just super yummy with just the right amount of sweetness to it and the vanilla being such a nice addition flavourwise. Instead of vanilla extract I used ground vanilla bean mixed with my sugar. It turned out very yummy. I bought plain almonds, that I blanched and afterwards roasted in the oven at 400°F for 10 minutes to get them to a nice golden colour. I found that I needed to use only 1 1/2 tbs oil with my almonds to get them to a creamy, buttery consistency. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this wonderful recipe with us, Sharon! It will save me a lot of money for commercial almond butter, which probably doesnt taste half as good. Made and reviewed for Veggie Swap #21 April 2010.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup of dry-roasted almonds
- 3 tablespoons almond oil (if you don't have almond oil-try a neutral oil with a couple drops of almond extract)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract (Mexican or homemade preferred)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 fresh vanilla bean
Directions See How It's Made
- In a food processor combine almonds, almond oil, vanilla extract, and sugar.
- Blend until smooth.
- Remove vanilla paste from inside bean and add paste to mixture.
- Blend to combine.
- For best flavor, chill for 24 hours prior to serving.
- Serve with vanilla or cinnamon graham crackers, apples or other fruit, on toast, muffins, or put in smoothies! Enjoy!

Industry: Pharmaceuticals
Berkshire Shares: 4.06 million shares
Yield: 4.2%
Returns: -12% 1-year return vs. a flat Dow,
-30% 5-year return vs. -11% for Dow
Sanofi Aventis (NYSE:SNY) is another dividend-paying health care play in the Berkshire portfolio. Like GSK, Sanofi is a foreign drugmaker and thus has a less reliable dividend policy. In fact, this company pays annual dividends instead of quarterly ones. SNY paid a regular dividend $1.43 in May for a yield of 4.2% on current shares. That's a good yield — but it's worth noting the payday won't come around again for roughly 11 months, so take that into account.
It also must be pointed out that the performance of Sanofi on a per share basis is a little less impressive than GlaxoSmithKline, with underperformance in both the short term and longer term.

The conference prompted Verge Network which champions movements of gospel-centered missional communities and missional leaders by offering timely and topical information, video, interviews, articles and on-going dialogue about living on mission, in community, centered around the gospel.
In 2011 Verge partnered with Exponential, the largest church planting conference in the U.S., to equip 4000+ leaders to learn what it means to live out the gospel on mission in community.
In 2012, Verge was back in Austin and the theme was For The Gospel, For The City, For The Nations. Around 2000 people gathered to learn from leaders like David Platt, Matt Carter, Jo Saxton, Dr. John Perkins, Propaganda, Alan Hirsch, Mike Breen, Hugh Halter, Neil Cole and many more. Verge 2012 was not just in Austin, though. Through livestream, the conference had almost 1000 multi-sites in 49 countries with nearly 30,000 people participating worldwide. It was then that we realized that Verge was now a global phenomenon.
On March 1-2, 2013 we gathered to be challenged to make and multiply disciples. The theme was Disciple Making, and it was incredible to see over 30,000 people from all over the world join us via Webcast!
Verge is for everyday people and leaders who are pursuing the mission of God with the gospel in their context. Verge leaders and churches are engaged in the mission of God, centered around the gospel, in community, and understand the value of staying connected.

SONGS AT THE STUTE: Wednesday, March 12 saw the opening evening show at Llanhilleth Institute since the renovation.
It featured singer/songwriter Cheryl Beer, who has just completed a 10-day residency within the area at St Illtyd's Community First Ward.
Cheryl worked with several community groups, as well as schoolchildren, after school clubs, youth clubs and individuals, to create new songs based on their experiences and loves.
The event was held in intimate surroundings, subtly lit, which enhanced the feeling of the occasion. Altogether there were 97 participants, ages ranging from five years of age to 80 plus and the audience also consisted of youngsters from around five years old up to and including senior citizens'.
The show kicked off with The Heartbeat of the Village', a song about the Institute clock which has long since stopped working, but which at one time played a part in everyone's lives.
This was followed by the rousing Slow Worm Train', which was inspired by the slow worms which have delayed the opening of the train service to Cardiff.
Mummy Says' was written by two five-year-olds from the After School Club, and Cheryl was accompanied by two young ladies - one playing the piano (who had never played piano until the previous evening) from the After School Club, and the other who sang vocals during the chorus who was from the Youth Club - they thoroughly enjoyed themselves, as did the rest of us.
Love From Across the Valley' told the story of lasting love, experienced by ladies at the coffee morning at St Mark's.
Play Hard in the Play Yard' was written with the help of Year 4 pupils at St Illtyd's School - sadly only one young lady from the class turned up to accompany Cheryl on stage - but she was great.
The second half started with Friends' a funky campaign song written with the help of The Friends of Christchurch, who do such sterling work fund-raising for Christchurch.
Two songs were inspired by the Ladies Group, who meet in Aberbeeg Community Flat, where Cheryl was based.
The songs were varied, ranging from The Phantom Chap' - our local ghost on Cwm Road - and Internet Dating'. The River Care Group helped create The River Rangers' song which was written at a cheese and wine party the previous evening - it certainly sounded as if they'd all had a great time, and was a real toe-tapper.
The chorus of No More Broken Promises' was written by the Home Start Project, with each verse being inspired by different individuals, two of whom were Bill and Linda Koncowoj, and Linda sang the chorus with Cheryl.
The evening came to a close with The Play Bus, where members of the audience were given a variety of percussion instruments to bang, shake and rattle along with.
Cheryl also sang a hymn, which features on Allan Yn Y Fan's new album Belonging, which was written with the help of The Friends of Christchurch.
The whole evening included, a lot of humour and a fair amount of singing for those of us in the audience, as we joined in many of the choruses.
Interspersed with the community songs were numbers from Cheryl's new album, entitled Skinny Muffin', yet to be released - look out for it.
The project was funded by Communities First Music Trust Fund and the ACW's Night Out scheme together with BGCBC.
Not only was it an enjoyable evening, but the thrill for those taking part hearing their own experiences sung about on stage, and knowing that they had contributed some of the lyrics, let alone performing, made it a night of memories that will last a lifetime.
MUSIC FUNDING: The Communities First Music Trust Fund has been created specifically to support any group with an interest in music.
So if your group needs helps purchasing new instruments, or would even like to attend a performance, they may be eligible for one of the grants available.
Contact your local Communities First officers to find out more.
GOODBYE GREEN GYM: The BTCV Blaenau Gwent Green Gym and Healthy Living Project Bows out: The Members of the Green Gym who have been actively volunteering and working with partner organisations were guests of honour last week at Roseheyworth Millennium School.
Volunteers were invited to a special school assembly and reception, as the school community and Green Gymers celebrated the success over three years of setting up an allotment and healthy living programme in the grounds of the school.
Old and young have worked alongside each other, as in the beginning pupils did some of the heavy work that the Green Gymers would have found difficult, while the latter shared their knowledge of horticulture with the pupils and maintained the allotment.
In some ways it was a sad day, because as the National Lottery Funding has finished, the BTCV Green Gym will no longer meet . . . but this project was just one example of the many diverse ways the Green Gym has contributed and worked with local communities, from our work with the Owl Sanctuary at Festival Park - which has included building owl cages to maintaining the willow snake, and on occasion the group even fed the birds! - to our litter picking on the Turkey Trot at Six Bells and our involvement in community summer arts projects with Communities First . . . to providing Smoothies to the residents of Crawshay House in Brynmawr . . . to our nature walks and "Easter Bunny Trail" with Roseheyworth Community Woodlands.
Our programme has been diverse and imaginative over the years and this was depicted in our "Community Canvass", that was created from work entered by six communities as part of our third birthday celebrations.
So the visit to the school and the special assembly was a celebration of so many of these projects, many of which the school community had had some involvement with over the years.
It was also a special day, as it marked the handing over the project to the school, so they could continue developing the project that the Green Gym had initiated and developed.
Following the assembly, commemorative gifts were given on both sides.
The Green Gym were given a special reception by the year three class, which included a commemorative cake and entertainment from pupils with card tricks.
It was a very special day for all those concerned.
The Green Gym and its members would like to take this opportunity to thank all those have contributed and worked with the project over the years.

Otley Town 0 Hortbury Town 1
Otley Town suffered a West Yorkshire League Premier Division setback on Saturday when they were deservedly beaten at home by Horbury Town.
Once again they were missing a number of players and on this occasion it finally told as Town struggled to create a noteworthy chance throughout the game.
Both sides struggled to find any rhythm to their play in the first half on the soggy pitch, although Horbury looked the more threat- ening with some neat passers in midfield and pacy front-runners. By contrast, Otley lacked creativity with Sam Jewell absent and missed the combative presence of Toby Harris to lead the line.
Having already had a warning when goalkeeper James Davies was called on to make a double save when the centre forward broke clear of the Town defence, a carbon copy of the move saw Horbury take the lead.
This time Davies was unable to come to the aid of his defenders who were caught square from a long punt forward by the opposing goalkeeper.
Once they had fallen behind, Otley never really threatened to get back on level terms, and in fact the away side could have added to their lead but for a couple of excellent saves from Davies. In the end, Horbury ran out convincing winners and Town must hope that some of their absentees are back for their next match, which is away at Ripon City on Saturday with a 2:30pm kick-off.
This is a replay of the game earlier this season which was abandoned following an injury to the Ripon goalkeeper, who has since retired.


text: What I do is I start detangling from the bottom up. I'll hold my hair still a few inches up with one hand, that way when I detangle the bottom it won't tug on the roots and pull out hairseseses. . . then I just rake very gently with my other fingers and when I hit a knot I first rinse with water and then add extra conditioner, teasing the knot with the tips of my figners and plucking it (I guess you could say "pick") so that I can unravel it very, very gently. Once I've sufficiently detangled the first bottom few inches of my hair I work my way up. Same process. I try to finger detangle every time. And my favorite conditioner for slip is trader joes tea tree tingle. I mix it with more moisturizing conditioners though bc I have very thirsty porous hair. I also recommend boiling some marshmallow root and adding it to your conditioner (the same day preferably, in a small bowl--just mix!) if you want and/or need some super slip.

Mumbai: Indian shares fell for a seventh session on Friday to the lowest close this year as India's biggest utility vehicle manufacturer Mahindra and Mahindra Ltd and cement makers Ambuja Cements Ltd and ACC Ltd retreated after their earnings missed estimates.
During the week, the BSE fell 1.5% and NSE lost 1.6%, posting their biggest weekly losses since 1 September, as the government's weaker-than-expected gross domestic product (GDP) growth forecast of 5% on Thursday disappointed the market.
However, inflation and industrial output data are the next key tests for the market, after the Reserve Bank of India disappointed investors on 29 January. Earnings of blue-chip companies such as Tata Motors Ltd and State Bank of India will also be key for further direction.
"The pressure of fiscal deficit and inflation is still persisting. Falling GDP growth to sub-5 levels is also causing lots of concerns," said K. K. Mital, head of portfolio management at Globe Capital.
The 30-share benchmark BSE index. Sensex, fell 0.49%, or 95.55 points, to end at 19,484.77, its lowest close since 31 December. The index fell for a seventh day to mark its biggest losing streak since November 2011. The 50-share NSE index, the Nifty, fell 0.59%, or 35.30 points, to end at 5,903.50, after falling below key 5,900 levels intraday.
The MCX-SX stock exchange will launch equities trading on Monday. Volumes will be watched, given its history of competition with the National Stock Exchange.
Mahindra and Mahindra shares ended 1.41% lower after the company reported a 26% increase in its quarterly profit, which lagged street estimates, as a slide in its operating margin offset strong sports utility vehicles sales growth.
Shares in cement companies fell after their October-December earnings failed to impress the markets. ACC ended 3.04% lower, while Ambuja Cements lost 5.10%. Hindalco Industries Ltd, part of the Aditya Birla group, fell 3.18% after reporting a 3.8% fall in its October-December net profit at Rs.434 crore that had a higher share of other income.
However, broader losses in Indices were offset by gains in software services exporters such as Tata Consultancy Services Ltd, which rose 2.58%, and Wipro Ltd which ended 1.57% higher after Cognizant Technology Solutions Corp.'s quarterly profit modestly beat estimates.
The results confirm that revenues of Indian software services exporters continue to outperform Cognizant's, making the US-listed information technology company still not too much of a competitive threat.
Exide Industries Ltd shares gained nearly 6%. A company source with direct knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Friday that Exide will raise prices for replacement auto batteries by 5-6% due to rising input costs. Reuters

Studies have shown that early reading success is related to phonological awareness – the ability to segment, blend and delete letter sounds in words. Recent research indicates that it may, in fact, be the most stable predictor of reading development and therefore one of the most crucial pre-reading skills.
A Canadian study reported by G. Wayne MacDonald and Anne Cornwall, Children's Hospital, Halifax, Nova Scotia, revealed that socioeconomic level, vocabulary development, word recognition and spelling achievement assessed at kindergarten were not significantly correlated with reading and spelling achievement 11 years later. In this follow-up study of 17 year olds who had been tested when they enrolled in kindergarten, phonological awareness was the best predictor of their current reading and spelling skills.
Kindergartners' skills in the original study were tested with the Auditory Analysis Test, Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test, the Reading and Spelling subtests of the Wide Range Achievement Test-Revised, and the Word Attack and Passage Comprehension subtests of the Woodcock Reading Mastery Tests-Revised. Results revealed that the Auditory Analysis Test (a measure of phonological awareness) was significantly related to all reading measures but not to vocabulary development or socioeconomic status.
In the follow-up study, these same results held true. Although the Auditory Analysis Test given at 6 years of age predicted word reading and spelling at age 17 better than any other factor, it did not predict reading comprehension. None of the tests given at age 6 predicted reading comprehension at age 17.
It should be noted that the follow-up study was limited in size – only 24 of the original 58 students were available to participate. In addition, this study included only middle class, white students and, therefore, findings may not be applicable to other populations of students. Despite these limitations, MacDonald and Cornwall conclude that these test results, in conjunction with previous research, demonstrate the importance of phonological training in early reading curricula and in remediation programs.

UPDATE: Online fundraiser for family of man killed in worksite accident in Chilliwack
Fundraising is underway for the family of the 24-year-old man killed in a construction site accident in Garrison Crossing on Friday.
Sebastian Gomez Obando died at the scene of the accident that saw a concrete pumper truck mechanism fail.
The PSI Concrete Pumping machine tipped over and trapped Gomez and another man at the site next to the Cheam Leisure Centre.
Firefighters rushed to the scene around 8 a.m. and worked to free the men, eventually removing the injured man just after 9:30 a.m. He was airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital with life-threatening injuries.
His name and condition have not yet been released.
Gomez was pronounced dead on the scene, and a massive Eagle West crane was brought in later to remove the damaged pumper truck, which had a visible break in the front, right outrigger.
RCMP, the BC Coroners Service and WorksafeBC continue to investigate what happened.
Crews were back at work on Monday, and a makeshift memorial with flowers were set up by the fencing surrounding the site, and outpourings of grief came from strangers on social media.
On Sunday, a GoFundMe.com account was set up entitled "Supporting Sebastian Gomez's Family" with a goal of raising $50,000 for the wife and two young children left behind.
"With profound sadness, we all try to cope with the fact that at the age of 24 years old, there was a man that was taken away from his family, friends, and coworkers," the page says.
Obando was born in Colombia, and moved to Sherbrooke, Que., in 2005 or 2006, according to someone who knew his friends in Quebec. He moved to B.C. in recent years, and just two weeks prior to the accident, his parents and younger brother moved to B.C. from Alberta to be closer together.
"Sebastian and his brother have had some time to bond, and at the age of 16 he had the opportunity to have one driving lesson with his big brother," the GoFundMe page says. "It is unfortunate there cannot be more; but he had one. I am sure it will be forever treasured."
By Wednesday morning, $15,325 had been raised on the GoFundMe account. The page asks for anything anyone can contribute to help the family and children cope financially, but also even with prayers.
"As their children grow, they need to hear by those close family and friends of how wonderful their dad was."
An employee of PSI Concrete Pumping who Gomez worked for said anyone not comfortable with donating online can go to any Coast Capital Credit Union branch and donate to Trust of Mariana Valencia, an account that will close on Sept. 14.

Call our Travel ExpertsAvailable 7 Days, 9am-10pm
If it is sunshine that you are looking for, then a holiday to Rhodes will provide. This picturesque island in the Aegean Sea is a favourite with holidaymakers but just make sure that if you're planning trip here that you are a fan of the heat. In the summer months temperatures can soar, so just make sure that you've got the sun tan lotion to hand! For those people who love being baked by the sun however, booking a low cost holiday in Lindos, on the east coast of the island, is a great idea.
Situated in a large bay, the pretty town of Lindos is packed with whitewashed buildings nestled against the hillside, set below an acropolis which towers above. It is impossible not to get a sense of the history of the place and be impressed by its mystical charm. Due to its historical importance, Lindos has been declared a national landmark and with no traffic allowed to enter its maze of streets, visitors can wander freely, taking in the atmosphere and perhaps stopping off in some of Lindos' fabulous cafes and bars to refuel.
The beach at Lindos which surrounds the bay is highly regarded and therefore can get busy during high season. If you're looking for somewhere a little quieter, perhaps try St Paul's Bay to the south of the town where you will find a pebble and sand beach.
Why not make use of Coop Travel's personal travel advisors if you are thinking about booking package holidays in Lindos. Because we do not have any ties with tour operators, we're able to give completely independent and impartial advice, so if you want to know more about the resort of Lindos, or any other destination for that matter, just ask. What's more, well do everything possible to ensure that you find late deals to Lindos that represent fantastic value.
Many of the flights and flight-inclusive holidays on this website are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. But ATOL protection does not apply to all holiday and travel services listed on this website. Please ask us to confirm what protection may apply to your booking.

They say that you can experience all four seasons in one day in Melbourne and that was certainly true. In the space of a couple of days we had flash flooding which saw the road completely disappear and the drains back up, to bright sunshine which meant I burnt my arms even with factor thirty suntan cream. I was so worried about getting burnt on my face I had so much lotion I looked like a ghost. We had some quite windy races and also winds so light I could see my reflection in the water, so I was surprised the regatta was not more high scoring.
I have also, along with a number of mates, started to grow a moustache for the month of November in aid of Cancer for Men. I lost one of my best friends from University to cancer as well as my Uncle who lived with me for 23 years. So this has always been close to my heart. I started off not shaving for a full week and I am gradually removing the facial hair to leave a moustache at the end of the month before shaving it off on December 1st.
I was a bit concerned that my top lip may look rather pale after being hidden from the sun for a month, especially the strong Australian sun, but we shall see. Interestingly the Chinese have not asked about my sudden increase in facial hair, whereas for the Western sailors it is the first thing they ask when they see me. In fact when I went to a local Gym to find a place for the team to train the first thing the lady behind the counter said was, "Good on you," pointing at my hairy top lip.
The regatta itself was a mixed bag and certainly a learning experience for me. I feel the more time I work with Lijia before the Olympics the better. She won Sail Melbourne which is the first regatta in the 2011/2012 World Cup series which was a great start but it is just that, a start… training starts again tomorrow and she has asked to be pushed hard!

BRUSSELS (AP) — U.S. officials say Defense Secretary Robert Gates is prodding five allies to share more of the burden of the NATO-led air campaign against Libya.
The officials say that so far, none of them is committed to doing more.
Officials say Gates used his final NATO meeting before he steps down as Pentagon chief to press Germany and Poland to join the military intervention, and ask Spain, Turkey and the Netherlands to contribute to strike missions against ground targets.
The U.S. officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the private meeting of the alliance's defense ministers Wednesday in Belgium.
Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi has pledged to fight to the death, and Western officials can't say how long the nearly three-month campaign will have to continue.

The cabins on Allure and Oasis are the same size as comparable category cabins on the other RCI ships, except for their two oldest ships (Monarch and Majesty) which have tiny standard cabins. Some people like to dwell on a few square feet difference, but is it really that important? Is having a standard outside cabin with 185 square feet (the Carnival standard) that much different than having one with 179 square feet on the Allure?
I've often wondered what the people who claim drinks are 'watered down' on cruise ships are comparing them to. I think they pour themselves doubles at home and expect to get the same on a cruise. Every drink I've ever had on any cruise has been poured using the designated amounts of booze for the particular drink, and frankly a little bit more when the bartender knew me. If people want a double then they'll have to pay for it.
The Windjammer is smaller than those on the Freedom class, but as Sandy noted that is because there are so many other casual dining choices that Royal Caribbean planned the ship based on passengers not relying on the Windjammer as the sole buffet/casual spot. Go forward to the Solarium and you'll find another buffet area. Go to Central Park and you have the Park Cafe. Go to the Boardwalk and you have the hot dog stand. And of course you have the cafe and the pizza place on the Promenade.
I've been on both Oasis and Allure and the service was excellent. Everywhere.
Chicago is a great show! Want to know why some decided to pan it? Because unlike other cruise shows, the Broadway productions RCI does on Oasis and Allure are full length meaning it won't be done in 60 minutes like the usual revue song and dance acts. You'll be watching a show that lasts 90 minutes. People not used to this start fidgeting in their seats after an hour and some think they will be missing something outside the theater. The actors, staging, lighting, all of it, had to be approved personally by the original Broadway producers of the show. I met the performers last summer. They each had to interview with the Broadway people in order to get hired, plus they had to sign one-year contracts which is highly unusual for cruise ships.
I've been on a lot of cruises and I have to say our Allure cruise last summer was the best of them all. I remember thinking that I wished we had booked back-to-back cruises as the last day at sea wound down.
Stop over-analyzing your decision. You know, it is possible to read and study too much about a purchase. You and your new cruiser friends will be blown away by the Allure.

text: SINAN SALAHEDDINBAGHDAD (AP) ¿ A consortium led by Russia's private oil giant Lukoil on Tuesday signed an initial deal with Iraq to develop one of its biggest oil fields, an agreement key to the war-ravaged nation's efforts to boost the output of a resource crucial to its postwar reconstruction efforts. Lukoil had partnered with Norway's Statoil ASA to bid to develop the 12.88 billion barrel West Qurna Phase 2 field, the crown jewel of the 15 fields offered during Iraq's second postwar oil licensing round held earlier this month. Under the 20-year deal which is slated to be ratified Thursday by Iraq's Cabinet, the companies plan to produce 1.8 million barrels per day in 13 years and will be paid $1.15 per barrel of crude they produce from the southern field. Lukoil's vice president of strategy and business development, Dmitry A. Timoshenko, hailed the signing as an important step forward in its work with the Iraqi government. "Now we are waiting for the other legal procedures to be completed," Timoshenko said. "We hope that these procedures will be concluded soon so that we can start our work as soon as possible." For Iraq, the deal marks a crucial step forward in the country's so-far faltering bid to raise oil output.

The load being carried by Dirk Nowitzki couldn't be bigger. He must be almost perfect when the game is on the line for the Dallas Mavericks to win in these NBA Finals. Basketball lines.
Nowitzki achieved that remarkable deed in Game 2, when he topped the Mavs' dazzling comeback by scoring their final nine baskets to tie the series. He was extraordinary again in the final period of Game 3, but Dallas fell behind in the series one more time since the best player in franchise history — and these postseason as well — couldn't finish the job in Sunday's 88-86 defeat to the Miami Heat at the American Airlines Center.
The Miami Heat have three of the four best players in this series. Nowitzki is the exception, putting considerably more pressure on him than any of Miami's so-called Big 3. Basketball betting lines.
There was no doubt who the best player on the court was in Game 3, mainly in the fourth quarter, when Dirk posted 15 of his game-high 34 points and grabbed four of his game-high-tying eleven boards. There was no question where Dallas was going with the ball in the final play.
But the German megastar missed just by less than an inch as his strongly contested jumper bounced high off the back rim and fell harmlessly to the hardwood at the buzzer. "He makes that nine out of 10," Mavs guard Jason Terry said. "This was the one that he missed." Scores.
Game 4 will be bolted on Tuesday.

Damian Thompson at the Telegraph asks if Senator-Elect Marco Rubio is still a Catholic or if he has become, in Thompson's word, "an apostate."
The right wing is always quick to condemn "bad Catholics" like Nancy Pelosi, and I share some of their misgivings at the way the now-former Speaker has expressed her understanding of the Church's teachings. But, at least she has not turned her back on the sacraments. It is unclear to me why abandoning the Church entirely is less horrible in the eyes of conservative Catholics than abandoning some, not all, of the Church's moral teachings.
Rubio is not the only former Catholic on the right. Sarah Palin left the Church too. So did Tim Pawlenty. The right may continue to decry the "abortionists" among the Democrats, but will they also be decrying the "apostates"?

Armstrong officials pleased with sale of 25 parcels during property auction
Officials are happy with the results of Armstrong County's first auction of properties it owns because of non-payment of taxes, even though only 25 of 172 parcels put on the block were sold.
"I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of people who attended, and very happy with the number of properties that sold," said Jeanne Englert, director of the county Tax Claim Bureau. "This was a straight win — we sold properties and made money, but the biggest part is these properties will be back on the tax rolls and the county is no longer liable for them."
The auction brought in $11,350, with a 2-acre parcel in East Franklin receiving the largest bid of $5,700. The 147 unsold properties will go on the auction block again in July.
About 50 people attended Thursday's auction in the Armstrong County Courthouse.
Properties owned by the county generate no tax revenue and were either vacant, contained mobile homes or dilapidated structures and depleted mineral rights. So every parcel sold at the auction is a bonus for the county, Englert said.
"Fixing and cleaning these properties up brings the value up to where it should be and increases our tax revenue," she added.

AN APPARENT Islamophobic attack on two North West men has sparked outrage in the Muslim community, with women in Krugersdorp saying their burkas often attracted racial and religious slurs.
"I've been told a number of times in front of my two-year-old grandchild that I should be in an [Osama] Bin Laden movie. It happens a lot here in Krugersdorp and it's unacceptable," 49-year-old Fadheelah Patel said yesterday.
Patel was among Muslim men and women who congregated at the Krugersdorp Magistrate's Court in support of Anser Mahmood.
He survived an attack in which 27-year-old Mohammed Fayaaz Kazi was killed.
Kazi died on Tuesday last week, hours after two Afrikaans-speaking men allegedly kicked and beat him after he took offence when they mocked his beard and called him Osama bin Laden.
Mahmood, who had travelled from Ventersdorp to Magaliesburg with Patel, was also beaten up in the attack after they had stopped at a Chicken Licken outlet to buy food.
With a dark blue bruise under his eye and a tracksuit hood pulled over his head, Mahmood broke down in tears when recounting the events of Monday August 6.
"We hadn't done anything. Just because of his [Kazi's] appearance… his beard. They called him Osama bin Laden," said Mahmood, trying hard to fight back tears, which streamed down his cheeks as his emotions got the better of him.
He did not get a chance to face Roedolf Viviers, 28, and Zayn van Tonder, 33, as relatives, members of the public and the media were barred from sitting in on proceedings.
This, explained Gauteng police spokeswoman Lieutenant-Colonel Katlego Mogale, was done in a bid to avoid compromising the identity parade the two men still had to go through.
"We have an ID parade out-standing so we were afraid people were going to take pictures with their cellphones and circulate them," she said.
She could not say if Magistrate Ncumisa Gcolotela had made the in-camera proceedings an order of court. National Prosecuting Authority spokeswoman Phindi Louw said she was "still awaiting confirmation from the senior prosecutor".
Questions were posed to the two women as it was not clear how the media and family members' presence in court would jeopardise the identity parade as magistrate Gcolotela could have just barred publication of pictures of the two men charged.
"There are still investigations pending so it was to ensure that the identity parade is not compromised," Louw said.
The two men were expected back in court on August 21.
Kazi's wife, Sajidah Motara, was not in court yesterday as she is still in mourning.
"She is absolutely devastated. It's the month of Ramadaan and Muslim wives work hard to prepare the best meal for the evening.
"She had prepared the best meal for him in preparation to break the fast at sunset, only to get news later that her husband was fighting for his life after being beaten up for his religion. [This] was devastating," family spokesman Zahid Asmal said.
Equally devastated were Kazi's two younger brothers, Mohmed Nuaman and Mohammed Farhan.
"Whenever they talk about it they just cry. This was a brutal attack based on religion. To think in 2012 you have people who still harbour those kind of feelings is disgraceful," said Asmal.

A$AP Rocky Steps Out in $5,000 Jacket, Says Rakim Signed His Diaper
Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky is making quite a name for himself. After signing a lucrative recording contract with Polo Grounds/RCA Records, he's been the focus of interviews and been tapped by Drake to join his Paradise tour this year. In a new interview on BET's '106 & Park' Wednesday (Feb. 1), the 23-year-old rapper gives details on how the Toronto entertainer went about contacting him as well as revealing a funny story about veteran rhymer Rakim.
The 'Peso' creator, decked out in a Givenchy Rottweiler Print Shirt and a Balmain Raccoon Fur Blouson priced at around $5,000, told hosts Terrence and Rosci that the 'Headlines' rapper was "influenced and inspired" by his work. Recently, A$AP performed in Toronto and brought Drizzy out as a special guest. "They went crazy, they went bananas," he revealed.
Rocky, born Rakim Myers, also expressed the story behind his birth name — his mother named him after 'Paid in Full' creator Rakim. "My mother, crazy lady right, so she see [Rakim] at the light in Harlem, on 125th St. and he got his drop-top [car]… she just run up and she's like, 'Rakim, I named my son after you. You gotta sign his Pamper.' I had it on or whatever. She's like, 'Oh no! Sign a fresh one.'"
He had a chance to meet Rakim Tuesday (Jan. 31), when hot 97 radio host Angie Martinez connected the two during an interview on her show. Wednesday night, Rocky performed for a full house at New York City's Irving Plaza, where he brought out Bun B, among others. He'll embark on the Club Paradise tour with Kendrick Lamar and Drake beginning Feb. 14.

Hollywood Takes to the Carpet for TV Land
The TV Land Awards converged on Hollywood and brought together past and present television greats like the original Sex and the City babes, also known as the Golden Girls gang.
Don't forget that before Carrie Bradshaw flitted through the streets of New York City in tiny, frilly party dresses and stilettos, Dorothy Zbornak trudged around Miami in sequined tunic and skirt ensembles in sensible shoes.
In addition, Roseanne Barr and various castmates from long-running series Roseanne were also in attendance, as well as TV legend Dick Van Dyke. Stars of current series, like Desperate Housewives actress Teri Hatcher and Vanessa Williams from Ugly Betty mixed and mingled with TV stars of days gone by.
The presenters were also a lively bunch, with Love Guru costar Justin Timberlake and Mike Myers taking the stage. The pop star turned actor presented the SNL alum with his award and was interrupted with a shouts of adoration from a male admirer in the crowd. Without missing a beat, J.T. shouted back, "That's okay. Nothing wrong with a little bromance."
It's all fun and games until someone delivers a dick-in-a-box to his doorstep.
