text: For the last 6 months or so my iBooks (g4,800mhz,1gig ram)hard drive has been stuttering. It gets hung up on opening applications(when i only have one open at the time), playing songs in itunes, and doing just about anything lately. I re-installed the os(10.3.9) twice and its persistently getting worse. It makes sort of a click-click-dudda sound over and over, sort of like it stuck on searching for what it needs to find. This can last for a few seconds to 20 min sometimes, it goes to the beach ball while doing it. I restarted the other day and it took 30min. to get to the main screen. Repairing permissions is becoming a 20min event also while it makes that sound.I use diskwarrior from time to time and this helps but not so much anymore.So my question is do you think it may be that the HD might be dyeing and this is an early sign of it?Any words of advice or just take it to apple, and yes its still under warranty.

Killing Them Hardly is my personal site, consisting of what I call the shiny pebbles – the things that stand out to me for whatever reason. I was born in Chicago and lived in San Francisco from '00 – '05, but have called New Orleans home for more or less the last 20 years.
About three years ago, my wife and I had our first and only child, Carter Shannon Rigney, and since then I've been relatively cloistered up at home – KTH represents the things that somehow made their way onto my radar along the way.
I've been tinkering on this or prior iterations of it since 2000, and have recently made the move over to WordPress, using the Neutica+ theme developed by Allan Cole and based on the awesome Thematic framework.

How Brain Games Can Make You Smarter?
Most brain games were developed as a part of cognitive studies to determine how training builds intelligence and retention. There are brain games for virtually every one of every age. These can be found on the internet or purchased through strategically designed software that achieves the same goals. Apps are now available that focus on these memory enhancing games that work to strengthen the brain.
Debates are ongoing as to how effective these games are in daily life. Studies are taken place around the world that measures these results. It is a proven fact that repetitive activities work to build stamina. This relates not only to physical activity but brain training, as well. Some brain games target numerical interests, while others include problem-solving and relational activities.
Repeating Concepts
One of the aspects of most brain games is the idea of repeating similar concepts. This is seen in crossword, word find and vocabulary games. The concepts are not exactly the same and change as players progress. There are a lot of educational benefits to these games and the retention process of certain ideas and concepts. Students at all grade levels can use these games to study various subjects. Math concepts, for example, can be enhanced through brain games.
Increasing Challenges
Another great component to most brain games is an increase in the challenge. Incrementally games become more complex and difficult to solve. This is an idea that is familiar to most gamers anyway. Level achievements and increasing challenges are a part of the design. The goal here, however, is to reinforce cognitive skills. During this process, gamers are able to build other skills and abilities. These work to increase intelligence and applications to various subjects.
Measuring Progress
Many of the brain games being utilized currently describe their assessment process. This includes measuring the player's progress as they play certain games. Software products that are geared to these objectives a particularly useful. You can see how you're progressing in specific areas. This is an encouragement for most people and a way to prompt more play. Brain training has a variety of goals. Stronger cognitive reasoning and critical thinking are two of these goals.
Diverse Games
You can play brain games on the internet that have different aspects to them. Those designed with a selection of diverse games are effective. Although there are different activities required to play and succeed at these games, their goals are the same. Allowing players to solve Math equations, find hidden objects, define words and other activities are fun. They all work to increase their intensity and challenge the brain. Players often find that they are increasing their aptitude. Many feel that they're getting smarter.
Brain games are not haphazardly designed fun activities. These are games that were designed and detailed by scientific experts. They perform a variety of tasks at the same time. These games are meant to build and assess cognitive performance. Playing these games overtime can enhance various aspects of aptitude, retention and overall intelligence.

Our first inductee--Billy Squier's "Rock Me Tonite". Enjoy (if you can...)!
1 Comments:
- said...
Billy Squier, who I would assume is either in a nursing home or insane asylum, set back male dignity to a lower level of the food chain with that neuro-epilectic seizure that was meant to be an attempt at dancing. May we never experience something as ill conceived and frightening as that again. He may have not taken his meds that day, or too much of them. He made Joe Cocker look like he was on horse tranquilizers as he squeezed out his vocals. Why did you have to post that. My day has been ruined.:)

- In the Name of Eugenics: Genetics and the Uses of Human Heredity by Daniel Kevles
Penguin, 426 pp, £4.95, August 1986, ISBN 0 14 022698 2
This much-debated study of eugenics contains a love song to British science – indeed to British size – that has gone almost unnoticed as the Provost of King's College, Cambridge, preparing for his departure from these shores, gives at least a plausible account of why the situation is now so bad in the arts and the sciences. In the Name of Eugenics arrives, in its Penguin version, groaning with American honours: done over by the Checking Department at the New Yorker, then Knopf'd, then winner of the 'Page One Award for Science Writing in Magazines' and, in 1985, runner-up for the American Book Award in Non-Fiction. It is an affluent work brewed in a culture of affluence, and some of this shows in its analyses of eugenical selection – who should breed, who not.

Final Thoughts
We can see that there were some gains at the lower resolution in our tests. The reason for this is due to the fact that at the lower resolutions there can be more dependence on the CPU. With more of the CPU limitations removed we can see a gain in these areas.
With some good improvements in the performance department and the normal line-up of bug fixes, this is a good driver. If you've got yourself a nice expensive CrossFireX setup the chances are you're going to appreciate this driver more than someone who simply has a HD 4850.
With that said, though, make sure you drop us a line in our forums to let us know if you're able to see the performance improvements that are promised to us by the Catalyst driver team.
Until next month, happy gaming and benchmarking.

Is It Spring?
March 5, 2012 Leave a comment
Normally, I'm a red wine kind of gal, but National Margarita Day and unseasonably warm, spring-like weather has me craving cocktails and mixed drinks. I had set out to make a margarita one evening, but ended up making my favorite mojito instead. They are relatively low calorie and low carb. Not too much sugar and I use fresh ingredients. I have a weak spot for a well made mojito.
Muddle 1/4 lime wedges and 8 to 10 mint leaves in a glass.
Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of mint infused simple syrup,
1 to 1 and 1/2 shots of white rum and
a few dashes of Angostura Bitters (optional).
Fill glass 3/4 full with ice.
Top off with seltzer; then shake or stir well.
I've been experimenting with vanilla vodka. I bought some vanilla beans a few months ago to make my own vanilla extract and still have plenty leftover. I've been hearing a lot about vanilla vodka lately and thought I'd make my own. It's the same method I use to make vanilla extract, only it takes a lot less vanilla and time. After a week to ten days it was ready for drinks, but two weeks later it was even better.
I have a long list of drinks I want to make with my vanilla vodka. I'm unsure about a few of them. I tried it with lightly sweetened tea. Not good. I rarely drink soda, but I have found a few small, local soda makers that use better ingredients. I mixed a shot of vanilla vodka with half a bottle of Uncle Scott's Natural Root Beer (made in Mooresville, NC). Tasted like a root beer float and took me back to my first job at an ice cream shop in Eastland Mall. I also tried it with some old fashioned ginger ale (Blenheim, made in South Carolina, and Boylan made in NJ). Hello cream soda. Mmmmm… But because it's so sugary, this drink is dessert. It's a treat I won't indulge in frequently.
Linsey had a request last week. She wanted barbecue and that was just fine with me. I couldn't make it to the farmers market for our usual Grateful Growers pork shoulder, so I tried it with free range, organic chicken breasts from Trader Joe's instead. I cooked it slow and low in lime juice, a little pomegranate juice, basil infused rum, garlic, salt and pepper. Then when it was fully cooked, I turned the heat up to let most of the liquid reduce down. The meat gets browned and caramelized and chewy on the outside. But after I used two forks to shred it, I knew it was too dry. Pork has lots more fat, and that's why it makes such good barbecue. So I added several tablespoons of the pastured bacon lard, which I always have on hand and let it cook, low and covered for another fifteen minutes. The chicken was moist and tender, the way barbecue ought to be. It had a subtly different flavor which we all enjoyed. It was a nice change and a good experiment. I served it with roasted potatoes and cauliflower and my favorite sweet and sour slaw with fennel, onion, red peppers and cabbage.
Spring and warm weather makes me want to slow down. We're not even into spring quite yet, and already I'm looking forward to long summer vacation days with no schedule to keep. The kids were out of school for two days a couple weeks ago. We spent one lazy evening making pasta, from scratch. Haleigh was bored and sulking because she's grounded and couldn't go with her sister and her father to run a few errands. Being a parent sucks sometimes. Even though the punishment was deserved, my heart hurt for her. So I let her roll out the pasta. I'll admit that I didn't think she'd have much success with this temperamental machine, but she cranked it out. She had fun. She got the hang of it quickly and had every right to be proud of that. And I was free to prepare the other ingredients. We enjoyed each others company. Cooking, talking and laughing with her in the kitchen like that was exactly how I envisioned it. There will be lots more meals prepared this way now that the girls are growing up.
This weekend time changes and the clocks spring forward. We'll have another hour of sunlight in the evenings. It takes some getting used to. We'll probably spend a lot of that time outdoors on sunny days, and we'll inevitably lose track of time. I welcome those days.

What do kids think about?
Often there are some really fabulous artworks and installations done by the kids throughout the school. This one (main photo) is a piece of sticker art, on the side of a portable, which has transformed it into a 'Wonder Wall'. Each of those little squares of paper contains a question from a child like: 'I wonder why the sky is blue?' and 'I wonder what makes the birds sing?' and other such charming philosophical questions.
Lately, though, I've noticed the questions have begun to degenerate. I couldn't stop giggling when I read some of the more recent additions to the Wonder Wall, especially because they seemed so much more like the kind of questions I reckon my kids would really ask.
Here are a couple, I particularly liked:

Yeah, I think we're pretty lucky that our local primary school is so great.Delete
Wow, what a wonderful sounding school. My kids' preschool was great, but I don't love their "big school". The principal actually uses the term "user pays" for a lot of activities offered within school hours. It's pretty awful. It's a real problem when local public schools start using this sort of terminoligy.ReplyDeleteReplies
Oh dear, that doesn't sound too good, Jill.Delete

Yesterday I was so bored and antsy. I spent the entire day on the couch with my foot elevated and iced down. The TV and computer were boring after a while and I was reading a good book but that too got old after so many hours. For some reason my ankle was painful all day but today was much better. Less pain and today I had the joy of having two friends stop by for a visit. One came this morning and the other this afternoon.
There is nothing better to take your mind off your troubles than a chat with friends. I had thought I might try sewing at my machine a little today but can do that tomorrow. Thankfully today just breezed along.
I would like to celebrate the 10,000th visitor some way .... will have to think of something I can do. Maybe some sort of give away.
Until Later...Thanks for Reading!

I don't know if there is medical 'proof' of it, but I've experienced that when an injury is especially painful, I'm thinking it's HEALING especially well! Hope so!
You'll be sewing before long, with the leg/foot/ankle propped up on a pillow - we can't stand to be away from our machines very long! 8-)))

Hi all,
We've started a campaign set in an a-historical world where Spain was divided between the European powers at the end of the War of Spanish Succession. Now in the Napoleonic era, Spain is even more of a cockpit of nations than it was in reality!
I'm playing one of the French armies located in the Basque country around Bilbao. I was ordered to send part of my forces south and the rest to the west. My forces heading west bumped into the entire Prussian army of Spain! I thought I might be able to punch through if I was lucky, but in the end the odds were too great and I had to withdraw, but I still inflicted a lot of casualties on my opponent before then!
A full battle report can be read here

Spurs U18s to participate in Frenz International Cup
Fresh from winning the IMG Cup in Florida, Spurs will participate in the Frenz International Cup in Malaysia in early January.
Once again, the team will play against a variety of sides of different nationalities, and it should prove to be a useful experience.
We are in Group D, and our schedule is as follows
Sunday 4th Jan, 21:00 (13:00 UK time) vs Frenz United FC (Malaysia)
Tuesday 6th Jan, 16:30 (08:30 UK time) vs AIFF India (India)
Thursday 6th Jan, 16:30 (08:30 UK time) vs Estudiante FC (Argentina)
All matches will be streamed via the official tournament site.
I am trying to find out the exact squad list, but Musa Yahaya's agent, Babawo Mohammed, has confirmed that he has returned to Nigeria in order to obtain a visa for the competition:
"Musa is back in Nigeria to get a visa to travel with Spurs for an U19 tournament in Malaysia. He could not get such a visa in London because he is a minor and that was why he returned to Nigeria." (via AfricanFootball.com).
Cameron Carter-Vickers misses out as he is on international duty. Joe Pritchard and Charlie Hayford miss out through injury. Under-16 players Japhet Tanganga and Kaziah Sterling are included in the squad although Lloyd Ross misses out having been born in 1996 (the tournament is for players born in or after 1997).

Focus on Paulinho
I was going to post this as a series of tweets, but it quickly became too long so I thought I'd write a blog about Paulinho's performance against Partizan Belgrade. I re-watched last night's match against Partizan Belgrade in double speed to have another look at Paulinho as so many people had mentioned to me on Twitter that they thought he did well.
The fist thing to mention is that in our 4-1-4-1 in the first half he had a very 'free' role, with barely any defensive responsibility. I don't know whether this was deliberate, but both he and Dembele left Stambouli exposed and we suffered as a result, getting caught on the counter. In fact, despite changing shape in the second half, we only looked more solid once Bentaleb came on.
In the first half, the majority of the passes he made were either sideways or backwards. Frequently he'd drop off his man, receive the ball with his back to goal and pass backwards to where it had come from. Alternatively, he'd pick up the ball in space in midfield and pass sideways, before trotting forward.
He intercepted one ball and wasted the opportunity to counter by dallying. His other interception came when the ball hit him; a counter was on if he played a quick pass into Soldado, but he didn't get his head up, and instead ran into a cul-de-sac on the right flank and ended up turning back (although he retained possession sensibly).
All of his first time flicks failed. One in the first half was looking for Soldado, but was too heavy. The idea was a relatively good one, the execution was less good.
He played one good, floated ball out to Davies on the left, and soon after he nearly created something when receiving the ball wide on the left and cutting in, but he overhit his pass to Lamela, forcing Lamela to slide to retain possession.
Lennon fed him in on left of the box where he had two chances to shoot, but the move ended up with him passing up those opportunities, turning away from goal, and taking an awkward, heavy touch which saw him head out to the corner flag where he lost possession.
In the second half we switched to 4-2-3-1, with Paulinho dropping back in alongside Stambouli, and Dembele playing the more advanced role by himself. This was presumably because we were caught a number of times, and Pochettino wanted to ensure we were more solid at the base of midfield.
Paulinho played one nice pass with the outside of his boot through a tight space to Dembele, who immediately lost possession.
He made a useful burst into the six-yard box when Soldado got in on the left, but Soldado's cross was poor and the goalkeeper claimed it – Paulinho might have had a tap-in otherwise. He then had a decent shot which the goalkeeper saved.
Once Bentaleb came on, Paulinho was pushed up into the most advanced midfield role, where he had another long period of not touching the ball.
He pounced on a loose ball, strode forward, dallied and ended up playing a pass slightly awkwardly onto Bentaleb's weaker right foot, and Bentaleb mis-controlled.
Kane found him with a clever touch, but he hit a ludicrously heavy toe-poke well ahead of Lennon. Seconds later he was played in by another clever Kane pass, but he was slow to latch onto it. Lamela picked up the pieces and hit a shot just over.
After Kane came on, Paulinho was often the most advanced player, as Kane dropped deep and he ran in behind. But he had another long period of not touching the ball (failing to anticipate a clever Lennon pass in the meantime) and his next involvement was a failed first time flick to Kane.
His final involvement came when was found by a clever pass from Lamela between the Partizan defence and midfield, with an opportunity to hurt them. His clumsy dribbling led to the ball getting caught under his feet, which caused him to check and then to lose the ball with a pass straight at a defender. He immediately regained possession after a misunderstanding between two Partizan players but lost it again, dribbling straight into a defender. He was replaced by debutant Harry Winks shortly after.
Paulinho made a few runs either away from ball, or towards his own player who was driving forward in possession, which often led to the player on the ball being crowded out. But, in truth, these runs were few and far between, and he spent a lot of time just wandering around, neither showing for the ball or moving into space.
I still don't really know what kind of player Paulinho is. I can list what he's good at on one hand – pressing, making late runs into the penalty box, and keeping possession with backwards/sideways passes.
The things he is not good at are less easy to list succinctly: he doesn't anticipate danger well, he doesn't get his head up when he receives the ball, his shooting is wayward, he doesn't have a good range of passing, he dribbles clumsily, he sometimes needs more touches than most to get the ball under control, and he can 'go missing' for long periods (often not showing for the ball).
I realise that he has not had a decent break from football for longer than is helpful to a top-level athlete but, even giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming that after a rest he'd improve by 20%, I just cannot see any way back for him at Spurs.

Getting to know Grant Ward
Grant Ward doesn't turn 20 until December. There aren't many 19-year old English footballers who can say they've experienced top-flight football in another country.
It was a very brave decision of Ward to move halfway across the world to play for Chicago Fire in the MLS. The move has paid off, though, and after 20 appearances for 'The Fire' (scoring once), Ward has come back to Tottenham with the match day experience that young players need.
Ward moved in March, and so spent around eight months in the States. He told the American press that the experience developed him and allowed him to "become more independent." He knows that Chicago Fire want to take him back for next season, and is open to the proposal.
Grant agreed to answer a few of my questions about the move – thanks to him for taking the time.
How did the move to Chicago Fire come about?
The manger Frank Yallop was in town for a few weeks, he watched a few reserves games, I played well and he asked if I would like to have a season in the MLS.
Had you seen much MLS football before the move? Did you know what you were letting yourself in for?
I had seen an odd goal or two from Henry but, to be honest, no because games are not televised much over here. After I knew it was an option to go there I did manage to watch a few games.
Did you notice any major differences in either the coaching or playing style out there?
My coaches out there did similar sessions to what I do at Tottenham but the tempo in the MLS is a lot slower overall and I feel a lot of teams like to sit behind the ball.
What was the thing you enjoyed most about your loan experience?
I enjoyed playing against some of the players I watched growing up as a kid like, Henry, Keane, etc. I also enjoyed living in Chicago, it's a very nice city.
And what did you enjoy least?
I enjoyed the whole experience apart from the rules that America has that no one tells you, like you cannot park near a fire-hydrant, this resulted in a few parking tickets!
Have you seen much of DeAndre Yedlin? [I was hoping that Grant may have caught him in person.]
I watched him in the World Cup, he played well when he came on and seemed to have a lot of pace.
Have you been given any feedback about the move from Spurs? Did they go to watch you out there?
Yes I received a lot of feedback and they came out to watch my last game against Houston.
Which players at Spurs do you look up to in training? Who stands out?
Growing up I always looked up to Lennon but also Eriksen and Dembele are very good trainers.
You have played at full-back and on the wing. Which position do you see yourself playing long-term?
I could see my self playing in either position but I enjoy playing on the wing or when I have the licence to go forward at full-back.
What are your aspirations for the next two or three years?
To maybe go on loan a few more times to gain some more experience to help me break into the first team.
Grant is likely to play for our Under-21s over the coming weeks, and it'll be fascinating to see how he has progressed as a player. I wish him all the best for the future.

I'm your biggest fan
Last night it felt like we got back on track a little. The team, the fans, the fans on social media… it all felt a bit more 'together'. The opposition wasn't great, of course, but I'm sure there were many Spurs fans who, like me, half expected an upset.
Starting off with the performance: it was a largely positive display. Pochettino made ten changes – whether that was always the plan or whether the poor performance against Newcastle influenced that decision, we'll never know. Brighton made six changes themselves, including giving England Under-20 goalkeeper, Christian Walton, a debut.
The first half wasn't exhilarating, but we were solid, with flashes from Townsend and Lennon that kept the crowd encouraged. Although both were playing on their "wrong" sides, it was notable that Townsend in particular kept the full-back guessing by alternating between coming inside and hitting the touchline on the outside. This is something I feel Lamela needs to add to his repertoire – particularly to help stretch defences. I wonder whether this was Townsend carrying out a Pochettino instruction, or whether he just enjoys beating a full-back on the outside. Either way, he frequently moved us yards and yards up the pitch with his useful driving runs, albeit he didn't always make the right decision at the end of them.
Lennon was withdrawn at half-time – he confirmed post-match that it was a minor hamstring "issue" – and was replaced by Lamela; it took him nine minutes to score. Davies fired in a pass to Soldado, who did well to cushion it back to Lamela. Soldado received a pass back, sent Lamela into space, and his right foot was – for once – trusted to slide the ball home. From then on Spurs looked confident and competent, and when Harry Kane got the second twenty minutes later, it was game over. Kane pulled out to the left – much like we've become used to seeing Adebayor do. However, unlike Adebayor, after releasing the ball to Townsend, he was intent on getting into the box and, when the ball came back off the goalkeeper, he was there to steer it into the tightest of gaps.
For me, the best players on the night were Kyle Naughton and Benjamin Stambouli. Naughton seems to have bulked up since his injury, and he had a very good game at both ends. Not only did he provide a defensive solidarity on the right that we've been lacking in recent matches (helped by a diligent Townsend), but he provided some excellent crosses; he is amongst the best crossers at the club. The only blot on Naughton's copybook (as they say) was a potential handball in the first half, his arm flapping away from his body – in a similar way to that which caused him to come unstuck against West Ham.
Stambouli's unfussy but assured display caught the eye, especially with Capoue's form taking a dip. He made some timely challenges, intercepted well, and used the ball wisely, quickly, and simply.
Away from the pitch, the atmosphere in the Park Lane end was excellent, helped by a good turnout from Brighton. There were old songs and new, including a Stambouli effort to the tune of 'Stand By Me' (not a fan!) and a Chadli song I'd not heard before to Lady Gaga's Paparazzi: "I'm your biggest fan, I'll follow you around the country, Nacer, Nacer Chadli" (big fan!).
The game was targeted by the 1882 movement due to the lower ticket prices – although, what a shame that the club has raised the £20 tickets to £25 for this season; a 25% rise seems unnecessary and is probably what has led to lower attendances in cup games.
For the uninitiated, the movement was started by a group of fans who became dissatisfied with the atmosphere at White Hart Lane. The idea is to encourage 90 minutes of singing, regardless of what's happening on the pitch; sing for the shirt. The hope is that the name '1882' will eventually become unnecessary as the movement becomes more prevalent but, as it stands, it is used to help advertise the section in which like-minded fans who want to sing should buy tickets, and to spread the word.
Due to block 34 selling out quickly, I'm not convinced that all of those in the block knew about the movement, but most seemed to join in and created an enjoyable atmosphere. Unfortunately there were a few morons who started the type of hackneyed, homophobic songs that Brighton fans must find tedious and cringeworthy – in a large group of people not all of them are going to be sensible.
I left the ground feeling generally positive, which is strange considering the disappointing defeat just days earlier. Pochettino has us going along pretty well in the cups, and there have been signs of a growing understanding of the system. One thing that worries me is that he doesn't always seem to select his team on merit, and the omission of Kane from the team against Newcastle seems to back this up. My preferred line-up for Villa would be:
Naughton Fazio Vertonghen Rose
Stambouli Mason
Lamela Kane Eriksen
A number of these players pick themselves, but to justify those that perhaps don't:
Fazio – I don't think there's a great deal to choose between Kaboul, Fazio, and Dier at centre-back right now, but Kaboul needs to play like he did against Arsenal more often than not to keep his place, and he's simply not doing that. Fazio looks very, very good in the air, but not so good on the ground. For the time being, though, he deserves to step in, and against Benteke his height and strength might be useful.
Stambouli – I was impressed, as mentioned above, by Stambouli's performance, and at a time when Capoue is having a very obvious dip in form, it might be time to give Stambouli a chance in the league. One concern would be whether a Mason/Stambouli combination has enough strength, but the added tenacity and mobility should compensate.
Kane – Whilst Chadli has scored well, Kane's productivity surely cannot be ignored in the league any longer. Kane has – on average – scored or created a goal every 69.7 minutes so far in all competitions. Chadli has mananaged a goal or assist every 138.4 minutes (Lamela – 101.3, Soldado – 127.8, Mason – 182.5). The key for me, though, is that Kane impacts a game more than Chadli even when he's *not* scoring.
Soldado – Whilst he still looked uncertain in front of goal, Soldado had a promising game against Brighton and showed good appreciation of his teammates, particularly in linking up with Lamela for the opener. With Adebayor having had more bad games than good so far, it seems to make sense to give Soldado a run.
With a run of winnable games ahead – Villa (A), Asteras Tripolis (A), Stoke (H), Hull (A), Partizan Belgrade (H) – this will hopefully be an opportunity for the team to build confidence and cohesion. COYS!

25/10/14 Tottenham Hotspur U18s 2-1 Reading U18s, Hotspur Way
Tom Glover (16)
Chris Paul (17) Anton Walkes (17) Christian Maghoma (16) Joe Muscatt (16)
Joe Pritchard (18) (c) Luke Amos (17)
Kyle Walker-Peters (17) Cy Goddard (17) Anthony Georgiou (17)
Shayon Harrison (17)
Zenon Stylianides (16) for Chris Paul, 54.
Tashan Oakley-Boothe (15?) for Anthony Georgiou, 78.
Aramide Oteh (15?) for Joe Pritchard, 78.
Unused sub:
Alfie Whiteman (16)
Spurs were missing Ismail Azzaoui (Belgium international duty), Ryan Loft (who was playing in the ongoing U17 tournament which we won*), Cameron Carter-Vickers who I suspect will be playing for the U21s on Monday, as well as recent substitute, Marcus Edwards, as the 15-year old was away playing for the England U17s (they won 4-1 against Cyprus and he bagged a goal and an assist).
The starting eleven had a familiar feel, though, even if the substitutes bench housed some new names. Aramide (spelt "Aremide" on the team sheet so apologies if I've got this wrong!) Oteh and Tashan "Tash" Oakley-Boothe (who is supposedly one of the brightest prospects in our Academy) played in an U14 tournament last January so this was a big step up for both and an encouraging sign.
The formation was sometimes 4-1-4-1 (with Amos the deepest midfielder), sometimes 4-2-3-1 (with Goddard as the 10), and sometimes 4-3-3. It's also worth nothing that in the dugout for Spurs – amongst others – was part-time coach, Ledley King.
There was a minute's silence prior to kick off for Club Historian, Andy Porter, a regular attender of youth matches, who sadly passed away in the week aged just 54. For more information about Andy and his terrific work for the club, please see the obituary on the official site.
It was a fast, open start with Spurs exhibiting pace in key areas. Anthony Georgiou expressed his intentions early with a powerful run down the left. He did well to get a cross in but when it was headed out to Pritchard, he volleyed well over the bar.
A Reading free-kick to the left of the penalty box was taken short which gave Pritchard an opportunity to charge it down in typically fearless style, and the follow-up was blocked by Walkes.
Spurs took the lead on 10 minutes. Walker-Peters won a corner and Georgiou's kick looked harmless until Cy Goddard got a foot to a misdirected Walkes volley and looped the ball over the goalkeeper, landing it perfectly in the far corner.
Soon after, Tom Glover was grateful to Luke Amos, who cleared off the line after the goalkeeper's fumble in the box as the game became increasingly open.
Joe Muscatt beat his man with a clever piece of skill and found Pritchard with an intelligent cut-back. When Pritchard's low shot was blocked, Muscatt did well to track back and immediately regain possession.
Georgiou teed up Goddard after another positive burst but his weak shot drifted wide.
Harrison had his first glimpse of goal when he was found by Georgiou and hit a firm shot on the turn – it was easily blocked on this occasion but he doubled the lead minutes later.
Chris Paul made a positive charge from right-back and fired in a low cross, Harrison darted across his man and finished deftly over the goalkeeper at the near post for 2-0.
Reading's number 7, Conor Davis, was proving a tricky customer, and he beat two men on the left but, as he cut inside, he curled his shot straight at Glover.
Georgiou stood a ball up into the box but Goddard couldn't quite meet the ball cleanly as he arrived on the penalty spot, and he sliced it wide.
Harrison made a clever dart in behind and was found by a fabulous Pritchard long ball, but his attempted lob was partially blocked and then collected by the goalkeeper.
Conor Davis beat Paul again and, when he was hauled down, the referee decided to call Paul over for a final warning.
Paul nearly had more luck at the other end when he was picked out by Harrison, but he struck his first-time strike into the ground and off a defender and it ran to safety for Reading.
Walkes won the ball well and found Georgiou, who beat his man and saw his cross blocked, only for the referee to give a goal kick – Georgiou let the referee know that he was not best pleased with the decision.
Goddard nearly made it three just before half-time when the ball broke to him in the box and his left-footed attempt went just wide.
Early in the second half Reading's left-back, Jake Sheppard, got the better of Chris Paul and put in a threatening cross which fortunately (for us) fell just ahead of the forward.
Spurs had a clear opening five minutes into the half when the ball broke kindly for Kyle Walker-Peters to run at two retreating defenders. He carried the ball most of the length of the pitch but, with Georgiou screaming for the ball at the far post, he couldn't avoid the two men between him and his teammate, and his attempted pass was easily cut out.
Reading went straight down the other end and Maghoma was called upon to do some sterling defensive work – he went to ground in the box, winning the ball cleanly and able to bring it clear, winning a free kick in the process.
It should have been 3-0 and job done for Spurs When Walker-Peters delivered a fine cross from the right and Pritchard arrived right on cue, unmarked, but managed to plant his header well over the bar.
Chris Paul eventually went into the book for a late challenge and was withdrawn three minutes later, Zenon Stylianides coming on with Walker-Peters dropping to right-back and Pritchard moving to the right side of the attack.
Walkes lost his man in the box to offer a Reading sub, Harry Cardwell, a good chance, but he headed straight at a relieved Glover.
Pritchard nearly forced a mistake from the Reading keeper when he pressed deep into the penalty area, but Lewis Ward just enough to avoid embarrassment.
There was a bit of upset when the linesman flagged offside directly from a goal kick (Kieran McKenna told the referee he was "embarrassing himself") – in fairness, the referee had a chat with his linesman and ordered a re-take of the kick with minimal fuss.
Spurs brought on their two young debutants, with Oteh going wide right and Oakley-Boothe left, Pritchard and Georgiou the two players withdrawn. Oteh's first action was to drive forward and win a free-kick – an encouraging start.
Spurs' centre-back pairing had been unflappable until Maghoma under-hit a square pass to Walkes, and Walkes pulled at the forward's shoulder as he went to shoot. He got the shot away (which Glover saved) but it didn't stop the referee awarding a penalty and showing Walkes a yellow card (which might have been red).
Glover got two firm hands to Novakovich's penalty and kept it out impressively, but the striker did get a goal minutes later, when he was played in on a sharp counter and impressively found the far corner with a precise low finish.
Tom Glover 7 – cracking penalty save and, although he fumbled a few balls, I like his pro-active approach to goalkeeping.
Chris Paul 4 – not his day today, but I'm sure there are many better performances to come.
Anton Walkes 6 – the benefit of a midfielder playing at the back is the added ability to bring the ball out. Walkes did this well throughout and, aside from missing a few headers, and the penalty incident, he had a decent game.
Christian Maghoma 8 – that one poorly-weighted pass aside, he was excellent.
Joe Muscatt 7 – considering he's a right-footed left-back who only started playing the role recently, he is coming along nicely. Showed a willingness to use his left foot and that keeps defenders guessing.
Joe Pritchard 6 – as ever, a whole-hearted display which lacked subtlety.
Luke Amos 7 – right place, right time. Enough said.
Kyle Walker-Peters 6 – not his best performance, but his obvious threat attracts defenders, leaving space for others.
Cy Goddard 7 – one of the best performances I've seen from him. Intelligent use of the ball, plenty of craft, and grabbed a goal too.
Anthony Georgiou 7 – direct, quick, and a constant thorn in the side for Reading.
Shayon Harrison 6 – took his goal beautifully but he left me wanting more.
Zenon Stylianides – a very assured player in midfield who seems to be good at all the basics, which bodes well.
Tashan Oakley-Boothe – he barely saw the ball so it's impossible to judge him on this, but he's a player who is very highly rated and it was very interesting to see him make the bench today.
Aramide Oteh – as above; the few times he saw the ball he made it count with useful and confident runs forward.
*As mentioned above, in the Premier League's U17 International Tournament played over the last two days, we drew 2-2 with Crystal Palace and beat Juventus 2-1 to finish top of our group. In the other group, Leicester beat Arsenal 3-0 and drew 1-1 with Real Madrid. Today we beat Leicester 3-0 in the final.
Edit: After some detective work, I think the players are: ???, Jaden Brown, Ryan Loft, David Ajiboye, Charlie Owens, Kaziah Sterling, Japhet Tanganga, Armani Daly, Keanen Bennetts, Tom McDermott, Charlie Hayford, ??, ??, Nick Tsaroulla.
George Marsh and Dylan Duncan are two of the players I'm unsure of.

Peek at our week!
Last week was a very busy week. We began the week by sorting words into those that were nouns(naming words) and those that were verbs (doing words).
We found nouns in an Autumn Poem.
We dissected a seed to see what they look like inside. We found a root, shoot, food and a seed coat which protects the baby plant.
In our Art lesson we practised doing the double load technique. We dipped our paintbrushes into white paint then blue paint and used very short strokes. Next week we will use this technique to make a background for our very own Water lilies art work.
On Thursday we visited our forest to collect objects for an autumn poem. We used adjectives to describe the objects.
I wonder what next week will bring....
Our new blog words are seed coat.
Just a reminder that we will be visiting Tesco on Monday 22nd September for a Farm to Fork tour. If you are free to accompany us on this trip please see a member of staff as soon as possible. The children will have their dinner early and we will leave school at around 12:30pm.
See you tomorrow!

We will be running a race in Two Rivers Alaska this Saturday called Annette's Burger Run it is a 30 mile fun race from Pleasant Valley store to the Angel Creek lodge. It is a mass start race meaning teams take off as they are ready instead of at timed intervals usually 2 minutes apart which makes for a fun chaotic beginning. Run times are timed, but you aren't awarded based on run times, you are awarded for things such as worst dressed musher, or prettiest team, or brightest sled bag or what ever the race judge decides, all entrants get a prize of some sort, and a hamburger at the finish line. This will be my third year running this race, we love this race, it's always a lot of fun and gives the dogs great race experience with out all the pressure of a highly competitive event.You can go to http://www.trdma.org/hamburger.htm for more information and to read the race rules.
|My team excitedly awaiting departure for todays run.

A night of comebacks, with the Portland Trail Blazers and Boston Celtics on the right end of them, although what most people will talk about today is James Harden getting called for two offensive fouls in the end of the Rockets loss at Boston. More
Entering his third season in the NBA, Marcus Smart is expecting to become a bigger contributor for the Boston Celtics, with the team having the option to release him after the season. More
Back when Marcus Smart was a star in Stillwater for the Oklahoma State Cowboys, he picked up quite a few haters thanks to his never ending flopping. While he has kept that part of his game lowkey since starting his NBA career, it's sometimes stronger than him, and came back big time in game 3 of the playoff series with the Atlanta Hawks. More
The third day of the NBA Summer League meant spreading out to other locations. Games were still going on in Orlando, with Myles Turner, Mario Hezonja, Aaron Gordon, Mitch McGary, Justise Winslow and Stanley Johnson doing well as usual, while in Salt Lake City Jahlil Okafor had a nice debut, while Marcus Smart and Dante Exum stole the show from the rookies in the other game. More
It's been an up and down rookie season for Marcus Smart, but his buzzer beating layup might be the highlight for him and the Boston Celtics, as a 117-116 win over the Toronto Raptors puts them in a position to make the NBA playoffs. More
Following Carmelo Anthony through the summer gives us a glimpse of someone trying to be optimistic although there aren't a lot of reasons to be. The New York Knick looked bad adjusting to the triangle offense in a 106-86 loss to the Boston Celtics, as Jared Sullinger had an excellent game while Marcus Smart looked much improved compared to his preseason debut, almost like someone who can take over eventually for Rajon Rondo. More
The Boston Celtics won't make the playoffs this season. Neither will the Philadelphia 76ers, but even without Rajon Rondo (who might get traded at some point), there's some ready talent on this team and not just extremely young players backed with too many draft picks. For Sixers fans, it's just going to be another season of hovering around or having the worst record in the NBA. More
As always, the NBA Draft was about making fun of suits and reactions, not just seeing who goes where. Andrew Wiggins dazzled, Joel Embiid and Zach LaVine made everyone laugh while the Miami Heat kept on doing everything they can to make LeBron James happy by adding Shabazz Napier. More
The rumors surrounding the impeding departure of Rajon Rondo from the Boston Celtics via trade have been going on for years, but maybe there's a bit more seriousness to them this time, as the efforts to rebuild might send the point guard for the 8th overall pick the Sacramento Kings have, which will then lead the Celtics to draft Marcus Smart or Elfrid Payton with one of their two first round picks. More
Believe it or not, the shoving incident might not hurt Marcus Smart when it comes to his draft stock, but other issues which have to with his inability to improve as a shooter and certain size problems that might get in the way when he goes into the NBA seem a bit more relevant to scouts getting their notes ready for the draft.

Churchill is a Key Personality for:
|Winston Churchill, giving his famous "V for victory"
sign outside 10 Downing Street.
- Winston Churchill was first elected as a Conservative MP in 1924. He became Chancellor of the Exchequer from then until 1929. He returned Britain to the Gold Standard, which turned out to have negative effects on the British economy. He also wanted to smash the trade unions during the General Strike of 1926,
- Churchill was out of office until 1939. He had warned against Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain's policy of appeasement, and encouraged strong alliances between Britain, France and the Soviet Union to keep Hitler under control. Chamberlain put Churchill in charge of the Royal Navy when World War II broke out, but only a year later in 1940, he replaced Chamberlain as Prime Minister and led a coalition government between the Conservatives and the Labour Party.
- Churchill offered strong leadership during 1940, when the fall of France had left Britain alone in Europe against Germany. He was popular for his rousing and courageous speeches during the Battle of Britain, famously saying he had "nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat". His speeches encouraged the British public to resist Germany. Churchill formed a close personal relationship with US President Franklin Roosevelt. He arranged the Land-Lease Act, which allowed Britain to receive American military goods without payment. America entered the war in 1941.
- Churchill and Roosevelt agreed the Atlantic Charter in 1941, declaring that all people should have the right to decide their own form of government. The two leaders joined with the Soviet leader Josef Stalin to co-ordinate the Allied war effort. The "Big Three" met in wartime conferences in Casablanca, Tehran, Yalta and Potsdam to make important decisions about the war and the rebuilding of Europe after it. Churchill was responsible for sending British troops to defend Egypt, the destruction of the French naval fleet before it could fall into German hands, and he opposed the opening of a second front until the Allies were sure of victory.
- Towards the end of the war, Churchill feared the growth of communism as the Soviet Union took over much of Eastern Europe. Roosevelt did not share this view, which caused some distance to grow between the two. After the defeat of Germany and the end of the war, Churchill's Conservatives lost fresh elections to the Labour Party. Although disappointed, he began writing a six-volume history of the war, and became Prime Minister again from 1951 until 1955. He died in 1965 and was granted a full state funeral by Queen Elizabeth II.
|The Allied leaders, Stalin, Roosevelt and Churchill, at the Yalta Conference in 1945.
In short...
- Background:
- first elected as a Conservative MP in 1924, Chancellor of the Exchequer 1924-29.
- Returned Britain to the Gold Standard (negative results), wanted to smash the trade unions.
- Out of power from 1929 to 1939.
- Prime Minister:
- Opposed the policy of appeasement, warned that strong alliances were needed between Britain, France and the Soviet Union.
- Put in charge of the Royal Navy by Chamberlain when WWII broke out, replaced Chamberlain as Prime Minister a year later.
- Strong leadership, rousing speeches, encouraged the British public.
- Close relationship with US President Roosevelt - Land Lease Act.
- Wartime Conferences:
- The "Big Three": Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin.
- Met in Casablanca, Tehran, Yalta and Potsdam.
- Decisions about the war and the rebuilding of Europe.
- Key decisions: Sent troops to defend Egypt, destruction of French fleet.
- Later Career:
- Feared the expansion of communism after the war, view not shared by Roosevelt.
- Lost post-war election in Britain, wrote a history of the war.
- Prime Minister again from 1951-1955.

Here you are guys. The pictures are all after the jump since there are a lot of them. All of them are now up. I noticed we got several views before they were all up, so go look again 🙂 I got stuck uploading pictures while I was reading about Piaget's stages of development for the millionth time, helping my roommate find a bank, and eating dinner… but they're all good now.
Practice was great. It was really good to see Boo skating again. Plus Steve Ott really liked his sign 🙂 I just wish Hagman and Brenden had come out… I wanted my hugs! (more…)

Is child custody mediation more beneficial than resolving the issue through litigation?
There are many reasons why you should try and resolve your child custody issues through mediation rather than resolving them through litigation. The mediator cannot force you to accept a settlement. So you will lose nothing. Mediation offers many benefits including:
• It is non-adversarial and less formal. You can put forth your views and your spouse will put forth his or her views. Nothing you say during mediation will affect your divorce case. Because of the informal and non-adversarial nature of mediation, the parties are generally more willing to compromise paving way for a mutually acceptable solution.
• The mediator is an impartial and neutral third party who has no stakes in the issue.
• Mediation does not involve any of the complex process such as trial, cross examination and evidence that are associated with litigation and is therefore not costly.
• Mediation can resolve the issue in a much shorter time. Litigation can go on for months and years together but mediation generally lasts for a couple of weeks.
• Mediation will generally make the atmosphere more conducive for communication between the spouses in the future which is important for the children.
Is mediation possible if the spouses do not see eye to eye and cannot stand the sight of the other?
Yes. Mediation need not be done face to face. The two spouses can be in separate room and talk to the mediator without the other spouse being present. The mediator will move from one room to another until an agreement is reached. Mediators are professional and are used to such situations. So they know how to deal with it. For the sake of the children, you should leave your differences aside and try to resolve the issue of child custody out of court.

Discussion in 'Radicons Customs' started by kofboy, Mar 30, 2009.
wow that has to be the first time a ROTF toy has been used in a kitbash other than a repaint lol cant wait to see him done
Please make it so. I'm especially interested in seeing what you do with Armada Scavenger.
p.s. Is that a smile I see on Devastator's head?
Looks promising. Where did the upper legs and arms come from? Is it from Scorponok?
Very cool!
an original take. i love the use of mudflap as hook, i was trying to figure out how he could be used for that. good luck on the rest of it.
I'm just glad someone is using parts for their combiner from something other than Unicron and Primus parts
This is looking good and nice and different, I like the combo of some new faces in there, but I gotta say, I can never be comfortable with movie line figures being mixed in with classics or other universe molds. I like the stab at some new parts other than unicron's upper legs, but Unicron's fit so much better for combiners (in my opinion) To me, I see Scorponok with constructicons added onto him.
Hiz face look like a care bear
If you're looking for a figure to use for Scrapper- I have a Cybertron Landmine I could part with. If you're interested, PM me :]
looks pretty cool. those arms give it some nice proportions too.
I think unicron's upper legs are too small to fit a combiners 50cm tall.
thanks. Armada Scavenger is better here for the size.
Not if you cut extend them with something. say, cut them in half and add ol scorpies legs in there. Or something.
But I do gotta say, unicron and primus do make some of the best parts.
I'm glad to see someone not going with the Unicron/Primus parts too. The tank treads on Scorp's legs really fit in well with the Constructicon theme. I just with the lower abdomen was a bit broader. Overall, great job, that guy's a monster!
I suggest to add some bulk to the waist. You can add a piece like the chest shield but no so big. Just like the original combiner.
This looks potentially really interesting. I'm kind of working on a Deluxe-sized team of Constructicons, but I originally was aiming for around Voyager-sized, and considered a few of these same figures.
Although scale doesn't have to be perfect, Long Haul seems like he might feel a bit too small next to his comrades, and I confess I -really- don't think your choice for Bonecrusher works with the team... that ROTF mold seems too small and just too weird to mix well with the other more traditional-style bots.
Have you considered the option of converting Energon Scorponok into a Bonecrusher/bulldozer? I think there's definitely some potential there, especially as you're already using parts from Scorponok for the combined form.
I really like what you seem to be planning for Mixmaster's alt mode. Any plans for modding Armada Scavenger? The vehicle mode fits in, but the robot mode is a bit of a brick...
hey man i love it im using the same mixmaster, hook 4 my devastator

Why the US is wrong to say burning wood is carbon neutral
It is a disaster for forests, wildlife and efforts to tackle climate change. The US Environmental Protection Agency has decided that wood is a renewable energy source, which means it will now qualify for support from programmes supposed to reduce carbon emissions.
The US forestry industry, which already exports wood pellets to Europe for burning in power stations, has long been clamouring for this policy change so it can sell even more wood for energy. On 23 April, EPA administrator Scott Pruitt …


text: While Lorraine Keeler of Aberdeen is 87 years old, people often tell her she doesn't look or act her age. The key is keeping busy, Keeler said. She spends a lot of time volunteering for events like the First United Methodist Church rummage sale and the the American Association of University Women's annual used book sale, which is where she was Friday. "It's good to be busy," she said. And if activities like that don't work to make Keeler feel young at heart, she turns to the one thing that always does - others' perceptions. "Sometimes on the telephone, someone will act like I'm a young chick," Keeler said with a laugh. "I'm definitely not one of those." For Keeler, who grew up in Aberdeen, life is always better when it's busy. She likes to read, play bridge, and she used to spend a lot of time gardening. "I don't do that anymore, though," she said. What she does do is enjoy the town she was born in. While life has led her down different paths, staying in Aberdeen has been a constant. "I'm still living in the house where I was born," she said. "I grew up in it and my four kids grew up in it." Her four children - Norman, Chuck, Claudia and Chris - have since moved out, and her late husband, Claude, died years ago. Still, Keeler remains in her home on South Kline Street, which is recognizable by the big eagle carved out of a tree trunk. "It used to be a lovely tree, and when they told me it had Dutch Elm, I didn't want to lose it," she said. While part of the tree was cut down, part of it still remains. "You can't miss the eagle when you drive by," Keeler said. Keeler said she's known around town and among her friends as someone who entertains and decorates for all of the holidays, but some people might also remember her as a teacher. She spent about 30 years teaching mostly physical education and health throughout Aberdeen. She also was a lifeguard at Wylie for a number of years. "The kids are the reason I wanted to be a teacher," Keeler said. "I just loved them, and I love teaching." Reporter Emily Arthur-Richardt; (605) 622-2314, 1-800-925-4100 ext. 314; email@example.com

Emperor penguins are an endangered species. Penguins are fish-eating birds that swim in the water and waddle on land, but do not fly in the air. Their species is endangered because of global warming which changes the climate and threatens their natural habitat. Experts are trying to help the penguins by protecting their nesting grounds: the place where penguins lay eggs.

Polar bears are an endangered species.ReplyDelete
The species is important because when polar bears are at risk, this may be a sign that other parts of the environment and cultural values are at risk too.
Their species is endangered because of climate change, which leads to the loss of Arctic sea ice.
WWF works to protect polar bears by funding field research to find out how climate change affects the long-term chance of survival for polar bears.
They want to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate climate change.
They are preventing poaching, illegal trade, unsustainable tourism, and industrial activite.

The tiger is the largest species of all the Asian big cats and is on the top of the food chain and is the most culturally important. Tigers are forced to compete for space with dense human population and they face unrelenting pressure from poaching, retaliatory killings, and habitat loss across their range. By saving the tigers we also save the biologically rich and diverse landscapes where they still roam.ReplyDelete

The monarch migration is important because the monarch butterflies migrate southward in the Autumn. They are gold like the sun and they are moved according to the sun. The monarch of migration travels 1,200 to 2,800 miles. They moved from southeast Canada and then to the U.S. and to central Mexico. They live to be 525 years old and they have been recognized as an endangered biological phenomenon. The first priority in the world is butterfly conservation.ReplyDelete

There are many species of Tiger, we will talk about Sumatran Tiger. They are exotic and best loved animals and culturally significant to Sumatra.

Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity: The New Frontier of Gluten Related Disorders
AbstractNon Celiac Gluten sensitivity (NCGS) was originally described in the 1980s and recently a "re-discovered" disorder characterized by intestinal and extra-intestinal symptoms related to the ingestion of gluten-containing food, in subjects that are not affected with either celiac disease (CD) or wheat allergy (WA). Although NCGS frequency is still unclear, epidemiological data have been generated that can help establishing the magnitude of the problem. Clinical studies further defined the identity of NCGS and its implications in human disease. An overlap between the irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and NCGS has been detected, requiring even more stringent diagnostic criteria. Several studies suggested a relationship between NCGS and neuropsychiatric disorders, particularly autism and schizophrenia. The first case reports of NCGS in children have been described. Lack of biomarkers is still a major limitation of clinical studies, making it difficult to differentiate NCGS from other gluten related disorders. Recent studies raised the possibility that, beside gluten, wheat amylase-trypsin inhibitors and low-fermentable, poorly-absorbed, short-chain carbohydrates can contribute to symptoms (at least those related to IBS) experienced by NCGS patients. In this paper we report the major advances and current trends on NCGS. View Full-Text
