Luke McGee finished in second-place with an average match rating of 7.6 from five appearances.
The goalkeeper kept clean sheets against the Shrimpers and the Pilgrims, while he was also named The News' man of the match in Kenny Jackett's troops' 1-0 defeat at Luton.
McGee also achieved a match rating of eight at Blackpool.
Jamal Lowe and Ben Close were tied as Pompey's third-best performers, with an average rating of 7.4 respectively.
The former Hampton & Richmond winger stood out in the Blues' 2-1 defeat at Peterborough United.
In fact, Lowe was a consistent menace throughout November, gaining a match rating of at least seven in all five games.
Ben Close delivered a terrific performance at Blackpool and was named The News' man of the match.
Brett Pitman came out fifth with an average rating of 7.33 from three matches.
Pompey's top scorer netted a double at Blackpool and also bagged the only goal of the game in this side's victory against Southend at Fratton Park.

I'm going out for tapas
So probably lots of tasty things. Though I've googled the place we're going (Sangria, Angel) and read some pretty bad reviews, so we'll see.
always a bit sceptical when it comes to reviews
you know, the reviewer could be a right prick.
I find it depends on the level of good reviews and bad reviews
if there are more good reviews than bad, it'll be alright as people only leave bad reviews if its shit. If there are WAY more bad reviews than good, its probably bad.Royter-Hatfood this'd this
It's about 50-50. But I know people who have been and say it's good, so I trust them more than the online reviews - I'm just not expecting it to be brilliant.
I went about 5 years ago and it was brilliant.
Not sure if it's changed ownership now though, but it was great when I went.
At the very least it's a good restaurant with a nice "busy" Spanish atmosphere. The sangria is excellent too.
Most people
Only leave reviews to complain. I reckon most people who have a good experience don't bother.Silkyskillz11, andyvine, and Royter-Hatfood this'd this
Nigella Lawson's pork chops
what have been marinaded in fennel, allspice and marsala with some sweet potato mash and green beans.

I don't want to prejudge anything but I can safely say it will be an absolute corker

So can someone ask 'why do they call them potato RICERS?' on my behalf please? Ta.
i've made a diary note on outlook
i'll cover this one, warny
Why not start one now pal?
No time the present - go on!
The Monopoly thing is on again isn't it?

- Royter-Hatfood and msmonipenni this'd this
Ox cheek, cod cheek

Dean Martin would be where this post is saying "Thats Amore". But you cant, so he isnt.

I added a new page called Chicken Smoothie here on EbN.
Chicken Smoothie is a site where you can adopt pets and watch them grow. You don't need views, clicks or feedings for these guys, they grow up on their own. Each pet has the potential to grow up into one of several different variations, so you won't know what it will be until it grows up.
So there is yet another addition to my ever growing adoptable pets list. Check them out if you have a moment!

Each week I am going to gather great mom stories about their AMAZING KIDDOS and post a Kid and Mom of the Week! If you are the mom that is shy about bragging as most of us are, but love celebrating your kids, you will love this!
They are wonderful little creatures and should be celebrated and encouraged constantly! Let's not forget that stellar mom who is behind all that goodness! Good Job Kiddos and Good Job Mom!!
So here is our first one!
Cole is the smartest 10 year old I know! He loves to read and learn. He is a boy scout, on the swim team, and in a robotics club (that you have to be hand chosen for). Cole is a great big brother to two younger siblings.
Last week Cole lead his team to WIN the entire 4th grade class Battle of the Books competition! Sound exciting? It gets better! Cole read 19 Bluebonnet Books and the competition involved questions about ALL 19 books! Questions about authors, characters, plot, selective passages in those books!! Cole SMOKED the competition firing off answers!
They now advance to the district competition this week! Good Luck Cole! We are all cheering for you!
Cole's Wonderful Mother...Cassandra!
Last week I get a phone call from Cassandra. After getting two kiddos ready for school and on the bus, she dropped off another at MDO, what's next? Off to Cole's school for the Battle of the Books competition. I could hear the nervousness in her voice as she explained to me that last year Cole's team won second place and although they were very proud of him, he was very disappointed! She told me how he had stayed up the night prior going through those 19 books, studying and reviewing with his father. She was so anxious and excited for him. Rushing to catch the last ten minutes of the competition, she told me she would call me later.
In about half an hour, I GET THE CALL! She was out of breath, almost in tears, and happiness sprung from her voice! "Lesli, can I share this with you?". "Of course, I replied". "HE WON, HE WON", she shouted! I could hear the strain to fight back tears. "He was so awesome"! "His smile"! "He had the biggest smile"! "He wore the purple ribbon and held up the trophy with the biggest smile"! I was smiling ear to ear as I listened to her GUSH about her smart son! This had made her day! Her week!
"District, WE ARE GOING TO DISTRICT"! "I am going to make signs!" "I am so excited"! "I am so happy for him"! "He worked so hard"! "I feel silly, but I am so happy"!
We chatted another ten minutes about how FAST he answered, and how accurate his answers were! She told me how other moms in the crowd kept commenting to her how SMART Cole is, how amazing he was, how he has a super memory! We joked about how Cole got his father's brain but how she will take the credit for it anyway :)
Cassandra was a super mom that day without even knowing it! She shined with pride watching her kiddo succeed! It inspired me! It made me look forward to the next 10 years. It made me want to be a better mom! I didn't tell her any of this but I am now....Cassandra YOU ARE AN AMAZING MOM and it shows through your words, actions, and wonderful kids! Thanks for inspiring us!
Oh yeah...did I mention, SHE IS GORGEOUS??

Summer is here and it is time to take a pen and write down the things you want to do over these three wonderful months.
1. Plan a vacation now. It is the first day of Summer and the timer is on. Everyone needs a brake, so at least a week should be blocked in your calendar for this good purpose.
2. If you have never tried summer water sports activities, this is a next "to do" thing. Depending on what you like, choose from this variety of stuff : Kitesurfing, Kayaking, Jet Skiing, Rafting, Flyboarding and many more. Choose yours and get mentally prepared to get a dose of adrenaline.
3. Plan a weekend trip with friends to the place you have never been to before. It can be a lake, a mountain, a coast – anything that is a wild nature, so you can disconnect from the world.
4. Get a ticket to the Summer Music Festival. If you haven´t been to one yet, it is the time to do it. Choose your favourite musicians and buy at least a one full day ticket to feel the spirit of the whole thing.
5. Go to the open air cinema. Yes, it might be hard to find, but it becomes more and more popular, so in your neighbour city there should be one. Choose a great movie and enjoy the gold in the air of summer.
6. Dedicate one weekend to visiting a Waterpark. No, it is not childish, it is very fun.
7. Ever had a secret crazy wish that should become a reality? – Don´t be shy, the time is now.
8. Take a car ride to another city with friends. Take some snacks, download your favourite tracks and get on the go.
9. If you have time and energy, find a new hobby or classes and sign up for at least 3 Summer months.
10. Let go of your fears, pointless stuff, meaningless poeple and things!

29th April 2018, Mumbai: Later today, Football Leaders Academy (FLA) will meet Football School of India (FSI) in the MDFA Women's Division 2018 final at Bombay Gymkhana Football Ground. Yesterday, both the semi-finals were contested at the Karnataka Sports Association (KSA) Football Ground, Churchgate.ĀFootball Leaders Academy (FLA) faced Bodyline Sports Club, whereas,ĀFootball School of India (FSI) encountered FC Mumbaikars in the other semi-final.
Football Leaders Academy (DelfiyaĀPereira) 1-0 Bodyline SC
A resilient FLA side did just enough to stop Bodyline SC in the semi-final after overcoming the favouritesĀ1-0. It was Delfiya Pereira's sublime strike which turned out to be decisive in a closely-contested encounter. With the likes of Kimberley Fernandes, Bhagyashree Dalvi and Valencia D'Mello in their ranks, Bodyline struggled to breach FLA's strong defensive unit which was led by Laura Estebiero.
Mansi Samre and Renuka Juvekar also had a great game for FLA as they formed an organised defensive backline which helped them to prevail against the mighty Bodyline SC side.
Football School of India (FSI) 0-0 FC Mumbaikars (FSI won 5-4 via penalties)
In the other semi-final, the match had to be separated on penalties as the score was locked at 0-0 after the final whistle.

Throughout the game, Afreen Peerbhoy, Riddhi Shetty, Pooja Dhamal and Jyoti Mehra had an outstanding game for FSI. They combined pretty well to link-up some fine moves down the midfield and linked the defensive and midfield line with several passes. The experience of playing at this stage mattered in the end when FSI kept their confidence uptight in the penalties to qualify for the final.

The water is down in Lake Martin and the Cypress Island Swamp,
and that is typical of the end of summer and early fall,
but one of the best parts about October is natural air conditioning.
The temps should be in the 50's at night and upper 70's, maybe lower 80's for the daytime max!
The high clouds this time of year makes for great photography at sunrise and sunset,
and you can even do nite time full moon over the swamp photos as seen below,
but.... the #1 best part about October,
as you can see above and below, the Bald Eagles are back!
The lower water levels are bringing a lot of the birds out to feed, as seen below.
The alligators are still cruising around, as seen below,
and so all of the above are happening this time of year,
but if you are wanting to see alligators, get it now, they will start to hide soon.
All of the above photos above are copyrighted and courtesy of Claude Nall.
So... if you are coming to Louisiana looking for a Cajun Country Swamp Tour,
I am Marcus de la Houssaye,
I am here to serve you 7 days a week, but I don't do tours everyday.
Well, my tours are by reservation only, because if you don't have a reservation,
I might be fishing for alligator garfish with one of my old timer fishing buddies as seen below!
If you need more info, or would like to make a reservation, you can call me at 337 298 2630.
I was swamp people before it was a TV show,

Happy National Carrot Cake Day!
Oh… what, you forgot? Well I didn't.
Carrot cake definitely ranks as one of my favorite cakes. It's one of the only varieties of cake that is great with or without icing. Which doesn't exactly stop me from slathering on a thick layer of cream cheese frosting every time I make one, but I appreciate that it could stand alone if I wanted it to.
A year or two ago I came up with what I'll immodestly boast as the greatest carrot cake recipe of all time… but I won't be sharing it just yet. As much as I looooveeee carrot cake, something about it makes me think of spring time. It must have to do with bunnies. Bunnies like carrots. Bunny. Easter Bunny. Carrot cake.
You see it all comes full circle. Even though I wait until Easter to make my carrot cake each year, I love the flavors of carrots and warm spices no matter what season it is. That's why I almost always have a batch of these Morning Glory Muffins stored in my freezer.
Have you ever had a morning glory muffin? I remember the first one I ever ate. It was Christmas morning during one of my vegan years, and for whatever reason that year my mom and I had stayed the night at my grandma's. I think my mom forgot to do any Christmas shopping, so sometime during the day Christmas Eve she set out to a new Tea Room & Herbal Apothecary a short distance away to hunt for stocking stuffers. I woke up the next morning to a lovely basket of things, on top of which was a huge, cinnamon-y, orange-hued muffin. I couldn't believe my ever-hungry vegan eyes. I devoured that muffin. It was the best Christmas morning breakfast ever, even when washed down by that terrible Maxwell House coffee only grandmas buy.
And so started my love affair with morning glory muffins. That particular vegan muffin was sweet and spicy, bursting with bits of apple, pineapple, and studded with walnuts. It teetered precariously on the line between muffin and cupcake, but boy was it good.
It took a few years before I experimented with my own recipe. There's a lot of variation in what goes in to a morning glory muffin. They alway have carrots and cinnamon, but otherwise what else gets baked in is up to the person making them. I've seen versions with coconut, apple, pineapple, bananas, walnuts, pecans, dried fruits, and a number of different spices.
For mine, I use a bit of finely chopped apples, a handful of raisins for sweetness, and a touch of pineapple juice. I prefer not to overload them with "stuff" so that the flavor of the carrots can really come through.
Speaking of flavor, these muffins are made from brown rice and oat flours. Not only does that make them friendly to anyone avoiding gluten, but these flours offer a great toasty flavor that plain all-purpose flour doesn't have. I've actually never even tried to make these with wheat flour because I like them so much as is.
These morning glory muffins are also free from refined sugar. I am definitely a sweet breakfast person, opting for a bowl of granola or toast with jam over eggs and bacon any day. Even so, I don't want something cloyingly sweet first thing in the morning, as I mentioned in this post. I use a bit of coconut palm sugar and maple syrup in this recipe to lightly sweeten the batter. This keeps the muffins from tasting like something you might feed to a horse, which is the opinion I've had on a lot of "healthy" muffins I've tried in the past. To me, the sweetness is just right; I get to enjoy my muffin without having to worry that I'm really just eating a cupcake at 7 AM.
Whether you're running out the door on your way to work, or lingering with a cup of coffee on a lazy weekend morning, you'll want to have one of these Morning Glory Muffins for breakfast. Eat one just as it is, slightly warmed, or toasted with a bit of butter. These muffins will make getting up in the morning more "glorious" for sure! 🙂
Morning Glory Muffins
Yields 12 muffins
Soft, spiced, and lightly sweet muffins made with whole grain gluten free flours, no refined sugars, and more than two servings of fruit and vegetables. A glorious start to the morning indeed.
- 1 cup (120g) brown rice flour
- 1 cup (105g) oat flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/2 cup canola oil
- 1/3 cup (65g) coconut palm sugar
- 2 Tbs. (27g) maple syrup
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (60g) unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup (2oz) pineapple juice
- 2 cups (210g) finely shredded carrots (about 3-4 large carrots)
- 1/2 cup (75g) finely diced apple (about half of a medium apple)
- 1/4 cup (40g) raisins
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Spray a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray, or grease lightly with oil.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, baking powder, baking soda, spices, and salt. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the canola oil, coconut palm sugar, and maple syrup. Add the eggs and whisk vigorously until slightly foamy. Whisk in the applesauce and pineapple juice, then add the carrots, apples, and raisins.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry. Use a wooden spoon or rubber spatula to mix everything together until combined, with no lumps remaining. Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cavities. They will be nearly full.
Bake for 20-22 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow to cool fro 5-10 minutes in the pan before removing and transferring to a cooling rack.
These muffins keep well stored in an airtight container for 4-5 days, or you may freeze them to have for future breakfasts on busy mornings! Thaw for an hour or overnight at room temperature.

On 13th October 2011, The Daily Mail reported that sponsors were tiring of England's Rugby World Cup antics. Blaming the 'chronic England player indiscipline that overshadowed the team's failed World Cup campaign' it highlighted sponsors upset over the team's behaviour in New Zealand.
Land Rover, who back both England rugby and the World Cup, were cited after a contracted company day with the England side in which Land Rover Discoverys and Range Rover Sports were laid on for 11 players' off-road use on Muriwai Beach near Auckland in the week before the group game against Scotland. The sponsors' annoyance about what happened that day led to Land Rover voicing its frustrations to the IRB, while RFU sources expected that an official letter of complaint would be sent to Twickenham. It was reported that the upset included England players being 'arrogant and rude' to Land Rover personnel, treating the vehicles with no care and breaking the speed limit on the beach. It was further reported that the company had planned to use film from the day for advertising and promotional purposes, but at least some of the footage was unusable because of the England team's couldn't-care-less attitude. At the time a Land Rover spokesperson was quoted as saying, 'Any discussions are part of our commercial partnership and therefore private.'
Land Rover had previously announced, in addition to its sponsorship of Rugby World Cup 2011 in New Zealand, sponsorship of the Rugby World Cup 2015 in England extending the company's strong association with the game. In recent years Land Rover has enhanced its role of Official Vehicle of England Rugby, Premiership Rugby and the UK's Land Rover Premiership Rugby Cup with the additional sponsorship of the last three British and Irish Lions Tours to Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
The story then seemed to be overshadowed by events and seemed to sink out of sight. However in the week that a report on England's lamentable Rugby World Cup was leaked from the RFU, inevitably the story has resurfaced and Land Rover has been forced to comment. It is a story that won't go away and even the Sports Minister Hugh Robertson has been forced to comment. He said that 'the attitude of England's rugby players at the 2011 World Cup was 'stuck in the old amateur era' and urged them to follow the standards of professionalism set by other sports such as cricket and rowing.'
Land Rover insisted that the RFU is to blame for misleading England players after World Cup reports reveal press day disaster. A Land Rover UK spokesman made it clear that any misunderstanding as to the nature of England's R&R fun day, driving its vehichles on a deserted New Zealand beach during the World Cup, must be laid totally at the feet of the RFU and the England team management. The leaked RPA report highlights the afternoon, when ten named England players attended what they thought was an entirely leisure-driven session driving the cars at speed on the beach and sand dunes, surfing, fishing and then enjoying a BBQ.
In the event it proved to be a commercial photoshoot which the players, by their own accounts, found very frustrating and boring so became bad tempered and truculent at what was considered to be a waste of time. It is suggested that their language allegedly grew worse, they drove the Land Rovers faster than requested by the instructors and eventually Land Rover, one of the blue chip England sponors, lodged an official complaint with the England management. 'Land Rover held a driving day with members of the England Rugby team during the recent Rugby World Cup,' confirmed a Land Rover spokesman. 'The event was a contractual appearance as part of Land Rover's sponsorship agreement with the Rugby Football Union. As with all of Land Rover's contractual appearances, it was the RFU's responsibility to brief their players about the agreed format of the event.'
Of the driving itself the spokesperson said, 'As the world's leading 4x4 brand, Land Rover is very experienced in organising driving events around the world. They are conducted with a high level of professionalism and safety is our number one priority at all times.'
In terms of timing it couldn't have been worse for rugby as Land Rover is due to renew its contract with the RFU but will not comment today on whether the incident in New Zealand will in any way affect those negotiations. The spokesperson would not be drawn on that matter however saying, 'We do not, as a matter of policy, comment on negotiations of a commercial nature.'
The players involved were Chris Ashton, Ben Foden, Courtney Lawes, Joe Simpson, Lee Mears, Tom Wood, David Wilson, James Haskell, Manu Tuilagi and Matt Banahan. Of these, the latter was praised by Land Rover in its 'complaint' for his polite behaviour and attitude.
