Over to you Leeds and Sheffield United. But Farke will not be watching
Paul Chesterton
Daniel Farke joked he might put his feet up on the sofa on Saturday but only to watch Norwich City's next opponents, not their title rivals, after Friday night's 1-0 Championship win over Swansea City moved them five points clear.
Both Leeds and Sheffield United must respond but Farke is more interested in how Hull City get on, ahead of their upcoming league trip to Carrow Road after Emi Buendia's stunning strike sunk the Swans.
"I don't care what happens. I am just so proud of my lads that we could beat a fantastic Swansea," he said. "We are all happy to have another three points and perhaps on Monday evening we can watch the table and see what it means.
"The most important thing is to concentrate on ourselves.
"I will be at the training ground and I don't know if I will be at home with my feet on the sofa when the Championship games are on. We will have an eye on it but also Hull because they are the next topic and we are more concentrated on them. Perhaps when the international break comes we can look at the table and analyse everything.
"This was a brilliant win against for me a fantastic Swansea side, in terms of possession, their structure, their build up, by far the best team we have played in recent months and that is a big compliment to Graham (Potter) and to all his lads.
"They were fantastic in this game but we were able to find solutions in bringing our performance level in the second half on a different level. Hard-fought but I am absolutely delighted we could win this complicated game."
Farke savoured Buendia's rising match-winning strike.
"On a top class, tactical level these games are sometimes not so entertaining. So you have to use your chances," he said. "Teemu (Pukki) missed some chances but the strike from Emi was brilliant. The whole build up and the structure was very good as well.
"Onel (Hernandez) was there with a good movement and played the ball at exactly the right moment and a brilliant finish from Emi. A stunning strike.
"It is a sign of his quality because he had more impressive games in recent weeks but in such a game with this end product it is a sign of class and quality and we are happy we have him.
"Is it the best? All our 72 goals are the best for me. We have had unbelievable team goals, stunning strikes like this one, set pieces. When you want to be top of the table you have to be dangerous from all situations. Was it the best? Definitely. The last one is always the best."

BOONE, N.C.—Appalachian State University's Center for Judaic, Holocaust and Peace Studies and the College of Arts and Sciences program in Judaic, Holocaust and Peace Studies collaborated with four organizations to create a study abroad research trip in Holocaust studies for Appalachian students during their 2017 spring break.
Dr. Thomas Pegelow Kaplan, director of Appalachian's Center for Judaic, Holocaust, and Peace Studies, teaches the student-driven research course titled The Holocaust: interpretation, memory, and representation. He said the course evolves as the trip progresses with students visiting memorials, studying and discussing their work at research centers in Poland and Germany. "I am very eager to avoid what a number of my colleagues in the field have described as Holocaust tourism," said Pegelow Kaplan.
The center will provide students with financial support through partnerships with the Rosenblatt Family Foundation, the Miriam and Abe Brenner Foundation, the Greensboro Jewish Federation and the German Academic Exchange Service.
Pegelow Kaplan said his students are working on specific facets of the history of the Holocaust. "Most people would go in the gate of Auschwitz and look at the memorial site, look at the hair and the shoes and feel disturbed. Who wouldn't be?" His course, Pegelow Kaplan explains, takes a deeper look. "We take a sharp left turn and go into the archive in a barrack and work with the senior research historian on the Auschwitz memorial to research topics the students are developing as we speak."
Students began preparing for this trip at the start of the spring semester, selecting research topics based on the travel itinerary. Some of the topics focus on the Nazi use of slave labor in places like the late 1930s Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg, where the students visited Volkswagen's historical archives.
"When you leave the train station in Wolfsburg, you don't see the memorial to the murdered slave laborers. You see the glass towers where Volkswagen meets Disneyworld, where you should go and pick up your brand new Volkswagen. The tensions are fascinating," said Pegelow Kaplan. "The question is how do you deal with the past afterwards. That is why I have invited some politicians and witnesses to dinner. The highest-ranking Christian Democrat, the governing party of Wolfsburg, will meet with us to talk about how the city is dealing with the Nazi past. We want the students to make connections between these tensions and how we talk about the history of slavery in the south."
One of the goals of the trip and the center is to give students from rural North Carolina more insight into the Holocaust and Jewish life. "In this overall area and part of the country, we have seen an uptick in racism and antisemitism violence," said Pegelow Kaplan. "In terms of countering this and equipping our students to be able to decide how to deal with and prevent that kind of violence, we need to convey the importance of tackling modern genocide and racial violence."
In addition to talking about student development, Pegelow Kaplan shared his vision for the center to engage with local communities. "We are working with the Jewish Federation in Greensboro to hopefully bring some of our students there to share their experiences on Yom Hashoa." The Holocaust Remembrance Day is April 24 this year.
Follow the students' experience on Instagram @appstatecas through March 21. Documentation of student research will be published on the center's website: https://holocaust.appstate.edu.

One of the problems users have with their iPhone and iPad charging cables is they can fray on either end.
As a preventative measure, a plastic attachment – The Fray Fix – can be applied to both ends of the Lightning cable. This method is likely safer than some of the DIY solutions you'll find online.
Another alternative is to purchase a strong, braided cable. One example is the Anker 3ft Nylon Braided USB Cable with Lightning Connector. This Anker cable has a 4,000+ bend lifespan, and an 18 month warranty. Importantly, it is also Apple MFi certified. Apple MFi Certified cables contain a unique, verified serial number and an authorization chip. Many cheap, third-party cables do not. What this means is that after an upgrade to iOS, the third-party cable may stop working.
If your cables are already damaged, and your device is still under warranty or AppleCare (and sometimes even if it is not), you should be able to get a free replacement an Apple Store.
How to Wrap Your Cables
Prevention, of course, is better than cure.
That means plugging and unplugging the Lightning cable by the connector, rather than the cord. Importantly, it also means making sure there's no sharp bend or kinks in the cord at any time. Of course, its also not a good idea to just toss the cable in your luggage. But lets be honest, we've all done that.
There seems to be two popular methods for safely wrapping cables.
First, there's the under/over method used by audio technicians and recommended by Wired.
And the coil wrap method, as demonstrated by Gotttabemobile.
Also, you can buy many different styles of cable tie to keep everything secure and organised.
Update: With the release of the iPhone 7, I noticed that Apple are now wrapping the cables in a circular fashion inside the original iPhone box. Presumably this is to minimise any possible internal damage to the cable.

AN 18 stone Irish mum was inspired to lose half her body weight after her husband mistook a pair of her giant Bridget Jones knickers for a BABYGRO.
At her biggest, Yvette McAtamney, from Dunmurry, near Belfast, wore size 24 clothes, barely left the house and couldn't even wash her own hair.
Worse still, she admitted she was "so fat" that she struggled to go to the toilet without her husband Anthony's help.
But the 38-year-old realised she needed to take herself in hand after a nappy change ended in blushes all round.
Yvette, an adult support worker, explained: "I'd been slumped on the sofa eating my fourth Crunchie of the day when I heard my husband Anthony trying to change our 10-month-old daughter Roisin in the kitchen, but it wasn't going well.
"He was trying to find the arm hole, and then I heard him start giggling.
"I poked my head around the door and he was holding a pair of my big pink knickers and looking sheepish. He told me he'd thought it was a Babygro."
When the couple had got together in 1996, Yvette was a trim size eight.
But after giving birth to their first daughter Kayla, now 17, in 1999, she suffered post natal depression and turned to comfort eating.
When Finn, now 11, came along in 2006 she piled on even more weight – and by the time she'd had Roisin in 2013, Yvette was a size 24 – morbidly obese for her 5ft 4in frame.
She admitted: "Our family lived off pizza, Chinese food and ready meals. I knew the phone numbers for our local takeaways off by heart.
"Anthony did everything for me. He tied my shoelaces and helped me in the shower – my flabby arms were so heavy I couldn't wash my own hair.
"I was so fat I couldn't even wipe my bottom properly after going to the loo."
After the pants fiasco in February 2014, Yvette signed up to Slimming World.
"My heart was pounding," she recalled. "When I weighed in at 18st 5lbs I wanted the ground to swallow me up.
"But the group leader explained the meal plans and when I got home I started cooking.
"Finn was so shocked when he got home from school to find me chopping broccoli. He'd never seen a fresh vegetable in our house before!"
Yvette lost eight pounds in a week and by August 2014 she'd shed six stone.
She said: "Anthony was so supportive and bought me a present for every half a stone I dropped.
"When I could reach to style my own hair he bought me a new hairdryer.
"When I dropped a dress size he treated me to a new outfit. As my confidence grew he whisked me off for weekends away – the first we'd had together in years."
Yvette joined a local fitness group called Pram-tastic for new mums, which proved a huge boost to her social life as she made friends at exercise classes.
By February 2015, Yvette was down to 9st 10lbs – half the woman she once was – and a few months later she celebrated by doing a Race For Life event with her new pals.

"That was two years ago and I've kept the weight off ever since," she said.
"I feel like a new person, I've binned the anti-depressants and Anthony's got his wife back.
"I now lead weekly fitness walks around my local area and I still go to my Slimming World meetings every week.
"It helps me stay on track and I love showing new members pictures of what I used to look like.
"They just can't believe that fatty in the photos was me!"
Yvette's diet before
BREAKFAST: Four slices of cheese on toast on white bread, followed by half a pack of biscuits
LUNCH: Fish and chips
SNACKS: Packet of biscuits, multi-packs of chocolate bars and full-fat coke
DINNER: Chinese takeaway or a frozen pizza
Yvette's diet after
BREAKFAST: Grilled bacon with boiled eggs and fresh fruit salad
LUNCH: Pasta salad or baked potato
SNACKS: Natural yogurt, fruit, Jaffa cakes and ice lollies
DINNER: Chicken stir-fry with loads of vegetables
Earlier this year we told how a takeaway addict lost an impressive eight stone and found a new love after a bitter split from her fiancé.
We also reported how an obese 21-stone mum who shed half her body weight burned through THREE treadmills while running in front of the TV.

A panel beater is a trained technician who has skills in performing repairs on vehicle bodies. Panel beaters make damaged or disfigured vehicles regain their factory shape especially after incidences of automobile accidents. A majority of auto body shops often have these service technicians who are responsible for taking care of vehicles that are brought in by clients for repairs. There are work stations or workshops that are dedicated to carry out these services since they may require adequate space for the dismantling of the vehicles.
There are quite a number of tasks that are carried out during the auto repair process. There may be different levels of damage for the vehicles that are brought in therefore varied servicing is performed based on the damage present. Replacement of affected parts is one of the most basic services carried out where new spare parts are used. This is done if the affected parts are affected beyond repair.panel beater dublin
Parts used in these repairs are often made of metals and alloys with glass, fibre and plastics also being commonly used for the repairs. Panel beaters often work on different types of vehicles that are brought in for repairs at the shops. Auto customization is also a service that is offered by panel beaters where various forms of body work is done to alter the looks and performance of the vehicle being serviced. Performance parts may be included in the parts used to alter the looks of the vehicles in the process. Warranty for the parts that are used for the jobs are in most instances offered to the clients and in case of any form of malfunction or poor performance replacement may be done for free by the auto shops involved.
There are various techniques that are used by panel beaters in their course of work. In case the parts are not damaged beyond repair, planishing is the most commonly used technique. This is where a dented surface is smoothened by hammering it with a planishing hammer against a stake held by the workman. The stake used is often shaped according to the desired final shape of the body being worked on. Application of putty is also common especially for parts that contain minor cracks and holes on the body. Putty is a sealant that is used on different materials including wood and plastic. Welding is another common technique that is used. Metal working is important as it gives rise to the parts that are to be used for body making. This is where various parts that are affected in auto collisions may need being removed from the body and replaced with better, newer and more aesthetic parts. Cutters are used to separate the damaged parts from the vehicle body after which welding is done to merge the parts with the body skeleton to create a good looking body. Smelting of some metals may be done to create custom parts to be used in restoration.

Penobscot Bay YMCA 100% Smoke-Free/Tobacco-Free Policy
The Penobscot Bay YMCA (PBYMCA) is dedicated to providing its employees and visitors with a safe and healthy environment. PBYMCA is a 100% smoke and tobacco-free campus, effective September 30, 2017.
PBYMCA recognizes that smoking and the use of tobacco products on our grounds is detrimental to the health and safety of everyone. This institution supports an environment where employees and visitors are not exposed to the harmful effects of secondhand smoke and are supported in efforts to live tobacco-free. Therefore, PBYMCA has adopted a 100% smoke-free/tobacco-free campus policy, that exceeds state law (22 M.R.S.A. § 1580-A).
This policy prohibits all smoking and the use of all tobacco:
- In all PBYMCA owned, leased and affiliated buildings.
- On all PBYMCA owned or leased grounds.
- At all PBYMCA sponsored events– both indoor and outdoor.
- In all PBYMCA owned, leased or rented vehicles.
- In all personal vehicles parked on PBYMCA owned, leased, and affiliated property.
- At all events hosted or organized by PBYMCA.
The smoke-free/tobacco-free campus policy applies to all employees and visitors including organizers of, and attendees at, public events, including but not limited to, conferences, meetings, lectures, social events and/or cultural events using PBYMCA owned, leased and affiliated property.
As a part of our commitment to transparent business practices the Penobscot Bay YMCA is happy to provide members access to copies of Board of Director meeting agendas and minutes upon request. In addition, the IRS 990 documents and the organization's Annual Report are available for review. Any member wishing to address the Y Board of Directors in person is welcome to do so by submitting an agenda item to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) a minimum of five business days prior to a scheduled meeting of the Board. The member may also be permitted to attend the Board meeting for the purpose of presenting the submitted agenda item. In the interests of parity, fairness to all, and the efficient conduct of business on behalf of all members by the board, an allotted period of time will be provided for the presentation.
The Penobscot Bay YMCA is an inclusive organization open to all. We welcome employees and members of all ages, genders, faiths, economic backgrounds, and orientations without discriminating and without being judgmental.
The Penobscot Bay YMCA follows the Maine Human Rights Commission law, which prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation. In addition, to maintain our not-for-profit status, Y's must not discriminate in accordance with federal civil rights laws.
Y's serve people of all religious backgrounds, ethnicities, ages, and income levels and are open to all members of the public. Through a variety of programs and services focused on the holistic development of children and youth, family strengthening, and health and well-being for all, Y's unite men, women, and children of all ages, faiths, backgrounds, abilities, and income levels. From urban areas to small towns, Y's have proudly served America's communities for over 160 years by building health spirit, mind and body for all.
On December 28, 2005, Maine extended coverage under its nondiscrimination statute to include a "person's actual or perceived heterosexuality, bisexuality, homosexuality or gender identity or expression." The law covers discrimination in employment, housing, public accommodations, credit and education. This makes Maine the second state in New England to provide explicit legal protections to transgender people.
The Maine Human Rights Commission recently released regulations to implement the new antidiscrimination law in Maine protecting sexual orientation and gender identity and expression. These regulations define "gender identity" as "an individual's gender-related identity, whether or not that identity is different from that traditionally associated with that individual's assigned sex at birth, but not limited to, a gender identity that is transgender or androgynous."
They further define "gender expression" as "the manner in which an individual's gender identity is expressed, including, but not limited to, through dress, appearance, manner, speech, or lifestyle, whether or not that expression is different from that traditionally associated with that individual's assigned sex at birth."
One important obligation on the YMCA imposed by these regulations is to make reasonable accommodations for transgender employees and members. The regulation states that it is "an unlawful employment practice of an employer, employment agency, or labor organization to fail or refuse to make reasonable accommodations in rules, policies, practices, or services that apply directly or indirectly to gender identity or gender expression, unless the covered entity can demonstrate that the accommodations would impose an undue hardship on the conduct of the business of the covered entity."
Such accommodations may include being allowed to use the most appropriate bathroom or planning the best way to transition while on the job. It is also illegal for an employer to deny employment if that denial is based on the need to make a reasonable accommodation.
For your own safety and the safety of others, the Penobscot Bay YMCA does not allow any potentially dangerous items to be brought onto Y property. Possession or use of firearms and other dangerous weapons on Y grounds is strictly prohibited.
Y property encompasses all owned and leased facilities including surrounding areas such as sidewalks, fields, driveways, parking lots, vehicles and other spaces being used to conduct Y programs.
The Penobscot Bay YMCA reserves the right to inspect or screen all packages, bags, backpacks, purses, or suspicious clothing to assure compliance with this policy.
All on-duty law enforcement personnel are exempt from this policy.

Lucas Piazon
Chelsea had to fight off interest from a number of the world's leading clubs in order to secure the services of the highly-rated attacking midfielder, who was born on 20 January 1994 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
He signed in August 2011 and enjoyed an impressive first season at the club at youth and reserve levels.
Piazon played an integral role in the 2012 FA Youth Cup triumph, producing accomplished displays and scoring crucial goals along the way, including the first of four in a quarter-final turnaround at Nottingham Forest.
With his performances for the youth team catching the eye, he was given his first taste of action for the more senior reserves and made nine appearances, scoring four goals.
What had been a remarkable season for the youngster ended in the most memorable manner when, only days after enjoying the FA Youth Cup glory, he was named as the club's Young Player of the Year and collected his award from John Terry. On the final day of the season he was an unused substitute for the first team's game against Blackburn Rovers at Stamford Bridge.
Midway through that first campaign, in January 2012, Piazon signed an extention to his original contract which will keep him at Chelsea until 2017.
He scored the first goal of the Under-21s' 2012/13 campaign, in a 5-0 win against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Stamford Bridge.
In September 2012, he was handed his first team debut against the same club in the Capital One Cup at the Bridge and enjoyed the evening with an impressive display. In what was a very one-sided game, the Blues ran out 6-0 winners, with Piazon teeing up Ryan Bertrand to make it 2-0.
He also started in the next round, a 5-4 win against Manchester United at Stamford Bridge, before being replaced in the second half by Eden Hazard. Three days later he was an unused substitute for the 1-1 draw at Swansea.
Piazon made his first league appearance for the club in an 8-0 win over Aston Villa two days before Christmas 2012, and it was an eventful cameo.
With almost his first touch of the ball he slipped in Ramires to make it 5-0 and in the closing minutes of the game, he won a penalty with some neat footwork inside the penalty area. With the three points already secured, Piazon stepped up to take the resulting kick but his effort was well saved by Brad Guzan in the Villa goal.
During the January transfer window it was announced Piazon would be joining Malaga in La Liga for the remainder of the 2012/13 season. In Spain he was primarily a substitute, making four starts and coming on in nine other games including twice in the Champions League.
After joining the squad on tour in Asia at the beginning of the 2013/14 campaign, he signed for Vitesse Arnhem for the rest of the season in August, joining Chelsea team-mates Patrick van Aanholt and Gael Kakuta in Holland.
His time in the Eredivisie started well with a brace scored against PEC Zwolle, and a week later he struck the winner in a 3-2 victory against NEC.
As the Dutch League approached their winter break, Piazon was the top scorer in the Eredivisie with 11 goals.
In the second half of the season, he suffered a slight dip in form and was in and out of the side before he returned to Chelsea, but in total scored 11 goals (including three penalties) in 26+5 appearances for Vitesse.
In July 2014 it was announced he would spend the 2014/15 season on loan at Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga.
Though not as active in Gernany as he had been in Holland, he still racked 23 appearances, 11 of them starts. The first of his two goals was a memorable one indeed - a stunning free-kick winner right at the death against Hamburg. Eintracht finished a healthy ninth.
In August 2015 it was announced he would spend the 2015/16 campaign on loan at Reading in the Championship. He made 27 appearances and scored five times for the Berkshire club before returning to train with Chelsea in late April 2016.
He moved back to the Championship with Fulham, initially for the first half of 2016/17, but having played 17 times and scored four goals, the loan was extended to the end of the season.
Piazon scored in consecutive games in February, wins against Nottingham Forest and Bristol City, and continued to play an important role in their promotion pursuit. Fulham made the play-offs but were defeated in the semis by Reading. Piazon finished the season having scored six times in 22 starts and 11 sub outings.
Piazon returned to Craven Cottage for 2017/18 as the Whites this time successfully jumped the play-off hurdle with victory over Aston Villa at Wembley. Piazon started 14 league games and came off the bench in a further eight, scoring five goals including in an important win over Sunderland towards the end of the season. He would have played more often had it not been for an injury sustained in the August.
Having been back at Chelsea, Piazon spent the second half of the 2018/19 season at Chievo in Italy where he made four sub appearances. With the transfer window closing at the start of September 2019, he moved on loan to Rio Ave in Portugal, managed by former Sheffield Wednesday and Swansea boss Carvalhal. He also signed a new one-year contract.
At the end of Piazon's first season in Portugal he recorded four goals in 24 games, helping Rio Ave to equal their best-ever Primeria Liga finish in fifth place and qualifying for the following season's Europa League.
Having graduated from the same Sao Paolo youth set-up that produced the likes of Kaka, Cafu and former Blue Juliano Belletti, Piazon has consistently caught the eye when turning out for Brazil's young national sides.
He finished top scorer in the South American Under-15 Championships in 2009 with 10 goals and was then named player of the tournament in another competition held at Old Trafford.
He also won a number of plaudits for his performances during the 2011 Under-17 World Cup as well as the South American Championships in which he played an instrumental role in Brazil's triumph.
In the summer of 2014 Piazon was part of the Brazil side which won the Toulon Tournament, with the youngster featuring mainly off the bench.
Piazon represented Brazil at the Pan Am Games in Canada in the summer of 2015, a tournament contested by Under-22 sides from the Americas. He scored in the third-place play-off against Panama, helping secure a bronze medal after an extra-time win.

Cookie wedding for TV's Kat with pantomime cast
PUBLISHED: 10:12 26 November 2009 | UPDATED: 17:22 25 August 2010
A FOUL-MOUTHED drag queen, a pantomine cast and cookies were all present at the wedding of one of Big Brother s most eccentric contestants.
A FOUL-MOUTHED drag queen, a pantomine cast and cookies were all present at the wedding of one of Big Brother's most eccentric contestants.
Kathreya Kasisopa, dubbed the 'Cookie Monster' in last year's Big Brother married her partner of four years - William Smith, at Bexley register office, in The Green, Sidcup, followed by an unusual reception.
The couple, who live in Welling, previously had a Buddhist ceremony in March, in Thailand, where the bride was born, but decided to also take the plunge in England last Saturday.
Present at the ceremony and reception at the La Thai Restaurant in Broadway, Bexleyheath, were fellow Big Brother contestants Mohamed Mohamed and Rex Newmark, who have remained good friends.
Mr Newmark, who has a cameo part in a British gangster film, due out next year, said: "I don't think I have ever laughed that much at a wedding. It was almost like a show."
Mr Mohamed's ambition is to be a presenter and he has already had stints on black oriented family channel Ben television whilst still working part-time as a toy demonstrator at Hamleys in Regent Street.
On the wedding, he added: "She was full of energy. Whatever she does, there was going to be laughter."
Of the other contestants on their show, they say they mostly stay in touch with Darnell Swallow.
Outside a devoted fan Claire Harris, 21, from Welling, waited at a bus stop for two hours to get a picture of the BB stars
It was her 21st birthday and she was on the bus when she spotted the famous faces in the restaurant. She got off, bought a disposable camera and waited for them to come out.
Excitedly, she said: "I was in the finals in Big Brother finals in 2008. I used to watch it after I finished work. I was waiting for them to come out. I didn't want to interrupt. That would be rude."
Inside, the cast of the West End 'adults-only' pantomime Sinderfella, in which Ms Kasisopa plays the Fairy Gone Wong, helped provide the entertainment.
This included Simon Gross, from Beckenham, who plays Ugly Sister Jordan and drag queen Bette Rinse, whom in between tirades littered with the f-word, joined everyone in a sing song of Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline.
The groom, who works in the City as a computer programmer told the Times: "Kat has been coming home singing at 1am and I have to get up at 7am to go to work! It is not the best time to be singing but we get through it.
"She doesn't drink but because she is coming home so late and excited I have been giving her half a glass of Baileys to calm her down. I watched her on Big Brother every day which was fun for the first month but after that it was just tiring and I was waiting for it to finish. I didn't want to be watching it every night.
"Sometimes I would watch it and she would be upset and it was difficult because I couldn't talk to her."
On her wedding, the bride said: "It was funny. I laughed all the time. Too many cookies and curries meant I couldn't put the ring on his finger."
The restaurant was reduced to laughter when the celebration ended with her singing a number from her pantomime debut.
She said: "The first singing lesson in my life was on Monday. I will try my hardest but it is not easy with my pronunciation."
Rehearsals for the panto are taking place at the Goals Indoor Soccer Centre, Elmers End Road, Beckenham, this month. And the cast will promote the show at the Star and Garter pub in Bromley High Street tomorrow, November 27, from 10pm.
Sinderfella opens at the Leicester Square Theatre's basement theatre from Thursday December 4 to Wednesday December 30. For tickets call the box office on 0844 847 24 75 or visit www.leicestersquaretheatre.com.

I thought it was pretty dead on, then i got to the comments. Yuck
Why do i read the comments on Deadspin? They are the worst. Bunch of racist people whining about why they aren't racist.
At least there was this comment-
"Jim Harbaugh jumps around every game all game long acting like a crazed loon and he's passionate and remembered as Captain Comeback and idolized as a great coach.
Sherman shows his true feelings after the biggest win of his life and he's treated like a monster."

Microsoft Augmented Reality Concept Fuses Virtual World with Reality [VIDEO]
Microsoft researchers have created a new augmented reality concept by improving how virtual simulations react in the physical world.
The Kinect sensor is used in a process called Kinect Fusion, which allows projections of objects to react to different surfaces. Kinect Fusion is possible with the Beamatron — a device consisting of the Kinect sensor and a projector. It's attached to a spinning head in the ceiling and allows it to take detailed maps of physical spaces.
This technology projects objects anywhere in a room and allows realistic movement. It bumps into objects such as table, chairs and walls. Plus, the simulation is never distorted when crossing over bumpy surfaces.
It's now possible for virtual objects to interact within physical spaces like never before. The projector can sense what is going on in the room and shows changes in seconds.
In a video, Andy Wilson, Microsoft principal researcher drives a 3D image of a toy car around a room with a remote control. It bumps into walls and drives over hills.
The Microsoft researchers are also working to apply this augmented reality technology to help individuals in their surroundings. Future technology will scope the environment and bring "notifications and other graphics to the attention of a user by automatically placing the graphics within the user's view." Other applications of this augmented reality technology may be applied to architecture and gaming.
Check out the above video for more details.
What do you think about virtual and physical worlds merging as one? Tell us in the comments.

The identity of the don&'s loose cannon surfaces minutes before the intermission, and he causes just enough mayhem to show that he means business.
What that really means in essence is nothing at all. So do not even apply your mind to deciphering what is going on. It could be seriously damaging.
This year, Bollywood has foisted a massive amount of muck upon us and not only got away with it, but, on many occasions, also gone laughing all the way to the bank.
If Action Jackson, too, does as much, the joke would on the audience, and the audience alone. It would be a sorry reflection on this nation&'s moviegoers.
From the first scene to the last, Action Jackson is cringe-inducing film that revels in scraping the bottom of the barrel.
It is so execrable that it makes you wish you had walked into the movie theatre armed with a remote control handset with only two options – Stop and Fast Forward.
The film opens with a brace of daylight killings by a bunch of thugs in a picture postcard part of the world.
The weirdly attired murderers, we figure, are looking for a fugitive called Action Jackson.
They do get a lot of action all through the film – they are mostly at the receiving end – but Jackson proves to be a slippery customer.
He has a lookalike after all, and the two men keep swapping places, creating widespread confusion, not the least for those members of the audience who still haven't switched off completely.
Don't even think of slipping into a nap to escape the assault. Action Jackson is a Prabhu Dheva film, so the soundtrack is so deafeningly loud that it could rattle the dead out of their graves.
As for the other characters in this free-for-all action flick, none comes anywhere near the realms of sanity.
There is this glass-eyed mafia don named Xavier Fonseca (Tamil actor Anantharaj in his first Bollywood outing). His name is intriguing all right; the rest of him is pure bunkum.
But even he is an epitome of restraint compared to his crazy little skimpily clad sis, Marina (debutant Manasvi Mamgain), who is so violently obsessed with her bro&'s most trusted hitman that she raises hell when the latter spurns her advances.
Also in the pulpy plot is a down-on-luck lady, Khushi (Sonakshi Sinha), who seeks happiness in catching a stranger with his pants down, and a dutiful wife (Yami Gautam) who comes out of the woodwork once in a while in the second half to push her man into breaking a few more bones.
Even by the pitiable standards that Action Jackson sets for itself, Kunaal Roy Kapur as the bumbling sidekick of one of the two Ajay Devgns presents a sorry sight.
It there is anything here that sinks lower than Kunaal Roy Kapur is forced to do, it is the film itself.

There are 3 kinds of people aren't there?
There are those that make life happen! Those that life happens to them …and those that say "What happened??!" (Heh heh!)
Yes, life can be successful. Life can be like a roller coaster ride …and life can be like a wild roller coaster ride with a sudden end. Making Life Work can be risky …or rewarding.
Many people never experience the thrilling satisfaction of success, because they have never learned the 7 major laws that govern success.
One thing is certain …these 7 laws will do nothing for you, unless you have a burning desire.
The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil. (Proverbs 13:19)
2009 has been predicted to be a year of failure for many, many people …but the good news is, no human need ever become a failure. There is a way of Making Life Work.
For every effect there is a spiritual cause.
Here are 7 invisible spiritual laws or causes, that will give you the positive effect of success in your life.
1. Set the right Goal
Most people never think of having any purpose in life. They are not going anywhere in particular. Because they have no aim in life, they become the victims of circumstance.
So, the 1st Law of success is to SET THE RIGHT GOAL. Have a clear purpose and destination in mind.
The world makes way for the person who knows where they are going.
Imagine a magnificent passenger liner cast off from its moorings in Circular Quay, Sydney harbour.
Think …with no destination in mind, no understanding of how to get there, no charts or guidance systems, no leadership from the One- in-charge, no get-up-and-go to achieve anything …now tell me? …what chance would you give that ship of exiting the harbour safely, let alone reaching, say, New York, intact??
"Zilch!" I hear you say …and you are absolutely correct.
So, how do we set the right goals?
Well, there are goals that include Spiritual and Physical. Take the following suggestions. Add to them and personalise them for yourself.
Spiritual could include:
· Being in God's coming Kingdom of God on this earth;
· Being a son or daughter of God in His family for eternity;
· Being close to God now in daily prayer, bible study, and
· Being a person who does His will of living His right way of life, now
Physical could include:
· Being educated, knowledgeable, with understanding and Godly wisdom;
· Being a caring loving helpful member of my community;
· Being a loving, understanding, encouraging husband or wife;
· Being a kindly, loving, guiding parent raising well balanced children;
· Being successful in my trade, profession, career; and
· Being in good health, with a healthy positive state of mind.
Consider Philippians 3:14 and 2 Peter 1:10
2. Education
Preparation in achieving your goals by gaining the right EDUCATION is the 2nd Law of Success.
One of the first things we need to learn – is that we need to learn.
A young student asked a wise man: "Teacher, I want to learn." The learned teacher took his student down to the river and waded in, up to his waist. The young student followed. Suddenly, the teacher grabbed the student and held them under water.
The student fought and struggled and made it to the surface just long enough to gasp a breath, before being plunged under again. Again and again the student struggled, grappled and fought to the surface, each time, for another precious gasp of air.
Finally the Teacher lost his grip on the student and the student broke free and managed to stand up. Gasping, panting and gasping in air, the student cried: "Why on earth did you do that to me?!!!"
The Teacher calmly and wisely replied: "You know …when you want to learn, like you want to live …then you will learn."
There is spiritual knowledge, understanding and wisdom and there is physical education.
Make it a goal to read the Bible daily …just use a bookmark and read it a chapter per day. You will be amazed what you will learn and the understanding and wisdom you will attain. Also, whatever date of the month …read that chapter of Proverbs (eg; 23 March …read Chapter 23 Proverbs. 24 March …read Proverbs 24, etc,)
The best education teaches true values.
Right education teaches us how to live successfully, not just how to make a living. It teaches the purpose of human life and how to fulfill it.
Consider 2 Timothy 2:15.
3. Good Health
Maintaining GOOD HEALTH, physically, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually is the 3rd Law of Success.
We are 16 elements of chemically functioning existence with the invisible "spirit of man", (which makes us different from animals).
You and me are only one miraculous heartbeat away from death.
Humans, we are what we think, eat, breathe, and do.
The 5 basic food groups of fresh vegetables; fruit; grains; meat; and dairy, in balance is important. Taking time to expire stale air and exercising our lungs with fresh air is helpful.
The Bible indicates that exercise, too, profits a little in maintaining good health (1 Timothy 4:8), but having a positive mind focused in God's purpose and His way of life, is more profitable for good health.
Sufficient sleep, means getting to bed early, for the best value. "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a person healthy wealthy and wise", as the old proverb goes.
Starting each day with prayer and bible study, makes your day poised for success.
Going for a daily brisk walk can be fun. In mine, I have adopted a long street, where I also stretch and bend over from time to time to pick up the litter.
I know my old mentor, who lived over 92yrs …spoke of having a brisk rub down with a towel after a shower, to stimulate the blood circulation, even to the extremities of toes and fingers. It is something that I have found of great value as well.
One thing that is common to all successful people, is positive mental attitude.
Think constructively; positively in a mental attitude of God given confidence. Allow no crevices for fear, worry or discouragement. 1 John 4:18; 2 Timothy 1:7.
Harbour no time for grudges, griping, or complaining …but rather reach for emotional balance, good humour, and harmony with God's loving and forgiving way of thinking.
Consider Proverbs 3:7-8; Proverbs 14:30; and Proverbs 17:22
4. Drive
DRIVE is doing and DRIVE is the 4th Law driving Success.
Success is accomplishment. It is doing. Any old fish can float downstream, but it takes a really live one to swim upstream.
An inactive person will not accomplish. We need to have fun and keep a prod on ourselves. When difficulties come, see them as challenges and opportunities.
In every disaster is an opportunity.
Think about it. Each day is a living miracle. Do you have to think about making your heart beat? What about breathing? What about your thyroid making the 125 millionths of a gram of thyroxine each day that stimulates your pituitary under your brain, that then stimulates your brain to stimulate your heart and lungs to work so miraculously? No you don't, do you?
God miraculously gives life to the just and the unjust, every waking and sleeping moment.
Often workers never rise above whatever job they do, because they have no drive to use this incredible miracle God gives to us each split second of every day we live. They slow down, poke around, sit down and waste time. Without a boss over them to drive them they'd starve.
It takes energy, drive, constant propulsion for a person to become truly successful.
Consider Proverbs 6:4-11.
5. Resourcefulness
When complications, obstacles, and unexpected circumstances block our paths we need to apply the 5th Law of Success – RESOURCEFULNESS.
Think solution …not problem. Be solution bound …not problem bound.
Overcoming …and understanding its rich value to our lives, in building the character of Christ within us, is a great key to having resourcefulness. Trials and problems take on a whole new fun challenge, which stimulates resourcefulness.
When sudden emergencies arise, we need a clear mind, calm nerves, rapid thinking and sound reasoning, with prayerfully received inspiration from God.
Consider 1 Peter 5:10 and Philippians 4:13.
6. Persistence
So many have come so close to success and fallen just short, because they didn't apply the 6th Law of Success – PERSISTENCE.
Quitters never win and winners never quit!
Faith in God, perseverance, stick-to-it-iveness turns defeat into victory and failure into success, time and time again.
I know a man in Toowoomba, who bought an opal mining lease from a person who'd been digging it for years and found nothing. Yes, you guessed it …with the next backhoe scoop, my friend hit the reef of opal. He went on to persist in learning the fine art of cutting precious stones.
Winston Churchill gave his shortest and greatest speech of 6 words to a spellbound audience:
"Never! …Never! …Never! …Never give up!"
Keep shooting arrows. Keep shooting quiver after quiver of arrows. Never give up.
Consider the lesson of Joash – 2 Kings 13:14-19.
7. Contact, Guidance and Continuous Help from God
Yes, the 7th Law of Success is the all encompassing need for close contact, wise guidance and continuous HELP FROM GOD. This comes from loving and respecting God and keeping His laws.
Is it possible that the very living God who made us all, just might be a factor in determining the success or failure of our personal life?
It is "only a fool that says there is no God." (Psalm 14:1) …and it is only a bigger fool that does not "call upon God while He may be found." (Isaiah 55:6-7).
Yes …a wise person will heed the advice of the Wisest …God the Father and His son Jesus Christ.
"And it shall come to pass, if you shall hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD your God, to observe and to do all His commandments which I command you this day, that the LORD your God will set you on high above all nations of the earth: And all these blessings shall come on you, and overtake you, if you shall hearken unto the voice of the LORD your God. (Deuteronomy 28:1)
Going God's way makes all of the 7 Laws of Success work for us.
"I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live: That you may love the LORD your God, and that you may obey his voice, and that you may cleave unto him: for he is your life, and the length of your days: that you may dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. (Deuteronomy 30:19-20)
Loving and respecting God and keeping His laws, is the most important way of making our lives work for real lasting success.
Great success to you this year, my friends!
Meantime …keep pumpin'!

In his book Bagombo Snuff Box, the famous post-war American novelist Kurt Vonnegut listed these eight rules for writing short fiction:
1. Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.
2. Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.
3. Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.
4. Every sentence must do one of two things—reveal character or advance the action.
5. Start as close to the end as possible.
6. Be a Sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them – in order that the reader may see what they are made of.
7. Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.
8. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To hell with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.
Like most rules, they're made to be broken (as Vonnegut himself pointed out). But his writing tips may be useful as a starting point, or as a measuring stick with which to judge what you've already written.
What are your rules for writing short fiction? Do you disagree with any of Kurt Vonnegut's advice? Let me know in the comments section below.

Hacking H&S Lockpicking
I love systems and mechanics that steal from classic games.
Myself, I've based mechanics on everything from Poker and Monopoly to… uh, other games that aren't coming to mind at the moment. Not just the classics either, games that have had an impact on gaming are fair game too.
Hack & Slash shared a lock-picking minigame that tickles me.
Link: "On Locks and Keys: Redux"
I hate lock-picking but I might give this system a shot. Actually, reading it reminds me a bit of how adventures and tasks are resolved in Elder Sign. I wonder if ES borrowed from Yahtzee too? Now I have to look up the rules for Yahtzee.
In brief, the system works as follows:
– A lock has an unknown number of pins.
– A player starts with a pool of d6s.
– The player rolls dice looking for pairs, triples, etc.
– The player spends combinations from the pool to set pins.
– 1s are removed from the pool for the particular lock.
– The player has some number of available re-rolls.
– The lock is picked when all its pins are set.
There's strategy involved in this — and the absence of the Yahtzee scoring component makes it possible for anyone in the group to pick locks based on their Yahtzee skills, rather than the "pure luck" of the D&D "d20 + skill bonus."
What, if anything, might I change?
That's a good question. Actually, since I brought up Elder Sign before, I thought maybe something there might be useful. And then, there are also the exploding and eroding dice mechanics, as they already appear in the game.
Maybe it's best not to confuse too many things.
Let's say for the sake of argument, that as long as you can set a single pin with a roll, you can re-roll the dice as you continue to pick the lock. Only through rolling 1s or failing to set a pin is your progress halted. As in Elder Sign.
I wonder if perhaps it wouldn't be better to have the number of pins based on the "difficulty" of the lock — set at familiar intervals like simple, average, difficult, impossible — while the dice pool remains the same between characters?
If a player fails to pick the lock, they can make another attempt starting from scratch — or another player can try — some time passes, and that's the only real penalty. The only way a lock might "jam" is if say, the player rolled only 1s.
Alternatively, when used in conjunction with the "party gear" system I've been raving about — each "retry" of a lock might cost the party a level of gear. That's a pretty steep cost though, I'm not sure if it would work.

Beware of anyone with novels scattered about their house claiming to have read them all.
In these enlightened times, eight in ten people will lie to seem smarter and sexier than they are, a study suggests.
The quickest way to cultural street cred is falsely claiming to have read worthy books considered classics such as 1984 and War And Peace – something two in three people have done.
But appearances remain everything – and half of intellectually challenged people admit changing their appearance to appear clever.
Tactics include wearing sober business suits, smart outfits or unnecessary glasses.
Behavioural psychologist Jo Hemmings said the study shows 'being intelligent has never been more sexy and that the vast majority of us are working hard to appear smarter than we actually are'.
She says this is a reflection of people embracing 'their inner geek', partly because of the popularity of sci-fi based TV and drama shows.
'From expertise in literature and wine to a penchant for correct grammar and art-house or foreign language films, wannabe geeks are exaggerating their worldly qualities in order to appear more nerdy,' she adds.
The study was commissioned to celebrate the DVD release of season six of The Big Bang Theory.

Rick: Oh...that's bad. I hope its nothing serious. In fact, he had a good physique earlier.

It's a funny old game – as Darren Huckerby has discovered again
Sportsbeat Images
You know that cliche about the word legend being used and abused? Well, when it comes to Darren Huckerby, the description is as accurate as many of the howitzers that he launched in the good name of Norwich City FC.
However, legendary status pretty much guarantees only the affection and gratitude of, in this case, Canaries fans.
Football is a big, bad, unforgiving world and, once again, Huckerby appears to have felt the sharp end of that short stick.
Huckerby's four-and-a-half-year reign, for that is what it was, as a City player was ended in brutal fashion by Glenn Roeder in May 2008 when he was not offered a new contract. There was no farewell appearance. Just a sad farewell.
Now, nine years later, Huckerby is off again, this time as a result of a shake-up in the club's Academy set-up.
His exit will overshadow those of the other four – all will be replaced by the club, but the reason for their exits is, for now, unknown. We are not privy to the inner workings of the football club, the day-to-day activities at the Colney training centre.
What we do know is that this is another of those awful cliches... "that's football for you". Because it is.
When new people come in to a club, change is inevitable. Huckerby has seen managers and colleagues come and go over the years – you doubt very much if he ever believed he had a job for life or ever expected to have one.
The reaction on social media was another inevitability, but one of Huckerby's own responses pretty much summed it all up: "I'm not dead."
And there's the truth – this is football, a game of ever-changing moods. Remember when Bryan Gunn was appointed manager and brought in Ian Butterworth and Ian Crook as well as John Deehan as his chief scout? Three club legends in control, but it didn't work and it needed a Scotsman who barely knew the place to turn the club's fortunes around.
Cliche number three: Life goes on. And it will for Darren Huckerby. His legacy is in place, so shed no tears. He's a grown-up man who knows the game of football inside out. And knew, therefore, that this day would eventually come.

Design Build Construction
Our design/build concept assembles a team made up of the client's representatives, design professionals, and the contractor, all working together to design a project that meets the client's needs and budget. Under the "Design Build Construction" concept the project is designed based on the owner's budget, unlike projects that are designed, bid out, and then have to be redesigned to meet the owner's budget.
Canco's Open Book Approach
Through our construction management approach we aggressively bid out every phase of the project. We review all bids with the client and the client approves the award of each phase prior to execution of subcontracts. We work with a fixed sum, cost plus, or cost plus with guaranteed maximum price/shared savings agreement on an open book basis, with the contractor fee established early in negotiations. We also provide a cap for general conditions expenses with all Canco personnel striving throughout the project to save the client as much as possible while maintaining the quality our clients expect. Nearly 90% of our clients have become multi-project clients. Many now have five or more projects completed by Canco.
Varco Pruden Buildings
Pre-engineered metal buildings allow construction to proceed more quickly and typically at a lower cost than conventional construction. Canco is a major builder for Varco Pruden Buildings, with over 9 million square feet of completed steel buildings. As one of Varco Pruden's largest steel building contractors we negotiate pricing based on our annual purchasing agreement with any savings passed on to our clients.

CHICAGO (STMW) – A south suburban woman has been charged with repeatedly beating an elderly relative who she was living with in unsanitary conditions, the Cook County Sheriff's office announced Saturday.
Denise Thomas, 49, of Ford Heights, has been charged with one count of misdemeanor domestic battery to a person over 60, according to a sheriff's release.
A friend of the elderly victim contacted police after learning the 81-year-old victim had been struck by Thomas and that the two were living together in unhealthy conditions, according to the release.
On April 15th, when Cook County Sheriff's Police patrol officers entered the home they found squalid conditions, with animal feces, urine, trash and clothing covering the living areas, kitchen and bedroom. The home also had no running water or heat, and the food in the refrigerator was spoiled because there was no electricity, the release said.
The victim told police that on April 14th he returned from the store with Thomas, and she parked the car in the driveway. The victim did not recall an argument, but says he remembers Thomas accusing him of talking too much and repeatedly striking him in the back with a stick as he attempted to leave her car, the release said.
After speaking with the victim, officers transported him to St. James Hospital and Health Centers to be check out.
Later that day, investigators arrested Thomas when she arrived at the hospital to see the victim.
Thursday, investigators with the Cook County Sheriff's Office Animal Crimes Unit and Cook County Code Enforcement returned to the victim's 13-acre property, where he kept some livestock and based on the unsanitary conditions on the property, and officers removed a pregnant mare suffering from edema; another mare bloated due to parasites, along with her newborn foal; and a goat in unhealthy condition, the release said.
None of the animals had food or water, and their stalls were filthy. The animals were transported by Forest View Farms to their facility located in Oak Forest.
Thomas is scheduled to appear in the Markham Courthouse on May 11th.
