The business behind the Thomson and First Choice brands said in a first-quarter update that sales of summer holidays during January's key booking period were flat compared to last year while the wider industry suffered a 14pc slump.
Peter Long, chief executive, admitted TUI was "clearly a beneficiary" of the troubles at Thomas Cook, which was last year forced into an emergency refinancing.
TUI launched a campaign during the height of its competitor's woes, bragging: "Unlike a certain holiday company we could mention, you don't need to worry about the way we run our business."
Mr Long defended the move, insisting TUI had to make it clear to its customers that the Thomson brand wasn't part of Thomas Cook.
He said: "What we did at the time of their announcement was to make it very clear that Thomson and Thomas Cook are very different businesses under different ownership."
Mr Long said he was "satisfied" with TUI's performance in the three months to December 31, despite operating losses widening to £109m from £86m previously. This was blamed on an expected reduction in demand for holidays in North Africa.
TUI, which reported first-quarter results a day before Thomas Cook, said it has not yet seen a major impact of the Costa Concordia disaster on its cruise business.
Mr Long refused to comment on reports the company's parent, TUI AG, was seeking to buy the 45.5pc of TUI it doesn't already own.
Douglas McNeill, Charles Stanley analyst, said the results were "an acceptable start to the first post-Arab Spring financial year".

The holidays are all about family gatherings and making memories. Since over half of Canadians over the age of 65 are affected by hearing loss, most family gatherings this year will include at least one person who is hard of hearing. These tips will help your loved one to stay connected during your holiday gatherings.
- Let your family members know ahead of time how to include your loved ones who have hearing loss.
- When you speak to someone with hearing loss, turn your head towards them and speak clearly. The sound of your voice may seem muffled if you turn away while speaking.
- Try to have conversations that include the entire group at the table – multiple conversations that create background chatter can make it more difficult to hear.
- Ask the person with hearing loss if the music interferes with their ability to hear conversations. If so, turn the volume down to a level that is comfortable.
- Include a tablecloth or placemats in your holiday table setting to reduce the background noise of clattering dishes.
- Seat the person with their back to an open space, so there is less noise reflection.
- Be aware of whether your loved one is engaged. If they seem withdrawn, they may be facing challenges with the current situation in some way. Can you improve the situation for them?
- Make a quiet area available where your loved one can have a one-on-one chat with someone, or just take a break from the sounds of a boisterous gathering.

Sinclair better than his stats but picked a bad week to have a quiet game.
Sinclair better than his stats but picked a bad week to have a quiet game.
Kick to Kick has become walk to walk. No space to kick a ball - there are THOUSANDS out on oval. And they are playing Sweet Caroline.
So everyone is happy, happy, happy!
There's homeless kids wandering around now.
Parents too busy taking speccies and showing off.
That was a really good crowd especially playing Freo. I guess it helps being a day match as it allows more people to go.
Surely they are trolling playing Sweet Caroline after the game!
Only negative today was the injury to Newman. Hopefully it isn't too bad.
If Naismith is fit who goes between Tippett and Sinclair? Tippett seemed to be more involved today.

A solid game against poor opposition. I still think we get caught out too often on mismatches with tall forwards. Freo plays with 3 tall forwards, but Adelaide have 4, so we will have to find a solution for that next week.
How was that, playing Buddy, K T, Reid and Sinkers today. Seemed to work quite well. I thought KT showed enough to suggest that he might well be important to us going forward if he can build on his efforts of today. Can Sinkers hold onto his spot? He must be ahead of NS for the next few matches at least.
...won't happen... or will it? Was going to say I can't see Aliir getting another senior game this year unless there are injuries. However, Newman may be injured and they may decide Aliir offers more than Sinclair as 2nd ruck. Actually, that's not such a bad idea. If Naismith plays I have no idea what they'll do because I think after an encouraging hitout like today I reckon they'll be reluctant to drop Tippett.
Still not mobile enough though.

Celebrities - Angelina Jolie
Angelina Jolie (born Angelina Jolie Voight on June 4, 1975) is an American film actor and a Goodwill Ambassador for the UN Refugee Agency. She has been cited as one of the world's most beautiful women and her off-screen life is widely reported.[1] Jolie has received three Golden Globe Awards, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and an Academy Award. Though she made her screen debut as a child alongside her father Jon Voight in the 1982 film Lookin' to Get Out, Jolie's acting career began in earnest a decade later with the low-budget production Cyborg 2 (1993). Her first leading role in a major film was in Hackers (1995). She starred in the critically acclaimed biographical films George Wallace (1997) and Gia (1998), and won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the drama Girl, Interrupted (1999). Jolie achieved international fame as a result of her portrayal of video game heroine Lara Croft in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001), and since then has established herself as one of the best-known and highest-paid actresses in Hollywood.[2] She has had her biggest commercial successes with the action-comedy Mr. & Mrs. Smith (2005) and the animated film Kung Fu Panda (2008).[3] Divorced from actors Jonny Lee Miller and Billy Bob Thornton, Jolie currently lives with actor Brad Pitt, in a relationship that has attracted worldwide media attention.[4] Jolie and Pitt have three adopted children, Maddox, Pax, and Zahara, as well as three biological children, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne. Jolie has promoted humanitarian causes throughout the world, and is noted for her work with refugees through UNHCR.

She also seems like one of those women who'd throw things at you when you got into the slightest argument, or wake you up with a gun barrel in your mouth, or change the locks when you went to work or the store one day.

text: I'm currently in search of a lip color to go with my potential holiday outfits. I know it's still too early to think about Christmas, but Thanksgiving is next week. Once the holiday past it will be December in no time. In the midst of researching, I found a resourceful guide through Julia's blog and I love how she took pictures of the different lip colors. Here are my thoughts for the colors. 1. Burberry Lipgloss in "Oxblood": This would probably be my favorite for weekend outings. Not to dark and not too light. In addition, I imagine this would go well with my color block sweaters. 2. Giorgio Armani Lipstick in "400″: I like the bold red color of this lipstick. From experience, a color like this can instantly brighten up my face and the attention is focused on the lips. Hence, I don't have to spend too much time with makeup. A simple cat-eyeliner and a little black dress would complete the sophisticated look for a holiday event. 3. Dolce & Gabbana Lipstick in "Rubino": If you can't already tell from my username I love stars and sparkles. This deep mauve lip color would be perfect for a sequin top. It's flattering and goes well with any skin tone. 4. bareMinerals Jack Of All Trades in "Lean on Me" + Estée Lauder Lipgloss in "Nude Rose": On workdays I don't spend much on time on makeup because my outfits are usually minimal. I love wearing earth tones and darks because it's profession and much easier to put together. This natural lip color shade is subtle enough without overpowering my whole outfit. With that said, this would be my favorite daily lip wear. Do you have any lip color suggestions? Feel free to share your favorite choice for the holiday.

Unanimous Senate vote moves Stillwater bridge closer to reality
Bipartisan legislation to allow the St. Croix River bridge project to move forward was passed by the U.S. Senate unanimously Monday, Jan. 23.
The bill must now pass the House of Representatives to be able to be signed into law, clearing the way for Minnesota and Wisconsin to build the new bridge.
Today's action by the United State Senate is an historic step forward for this project and our region," said Mike Wilhelmi, executive director of the Coalition for the St. Croix River Crossing, a lobbying group in favor of the new bridge. "After so many decades of meetings, planning and waiting - we are closer than ever to getting this done. For the people in the St. Croix River Valley who have waited for decades for a new bridge, the light at the end of the tunnel tonight is brighter."
Wilhelmi said the region's elected officials worked together in a bi-partisan approach on this issue.
"The Senate's recognition of this extraordinary challenge and their ability to come together to help solve it is worth celebrating," he said. "Senator (Amy) Klobuchar's leadership, supported fully by senators (Al) Franken, (Ron) Johnson, and (Herb) Kohl - is making a real difference for our region. With our equally united team in the United States House, we are hopeful that they will take up and approve this bill.
U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) led the effort in the Senate to pass the bill, which is cosponsored by Senators Herb Kohl (D-Wis.), Al Franken (D-Minn.), and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and supported by both Minnesota Governor Mark Dayton and Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.
"This is a milestone for the St. Croix bridge project," said Klobuchar."The residents and businesses in Stillwater and along the St. Croix River Valley deserve a safe, more efficient alternative to the current 80 year-old lift bridge, which is outdated for the needs of the region. I hope the House will now take action and pass this critical legislation so that we can move forward and build this bridge."
"After years of delay, I'm pleased that we're a step closer to jump starting the St. Croix bridge project. For people in the Western part of our state, this infrastructure project will create jobs and improve travel efficiency and safety," Kohl said.
"This is great news for the residents of Stillwater and the St. Croix River Valley, as well as the many visitors who travel through the region each year," said Franken. "A lot of people's hard work made this possible, but I especially want to thank Sen. Klobuchar for her tireless leadership. I urge the House to act quickly on this legislation so we can finally get this bridge built."
"I am pleased that the St. Croix River Crossing Authorization Act passed the Senate today. Constructing the St. Croix bridge is important for both economic activity in western Wisconsin and the drivers that use the bridge. The people of Wisconsin and Minnesota have waited far too long for this replacement," said Johnson. "I'm happy to have been a part of this bipartisan effort. This legislation would not have passed the Senate without the strong leadership of Senator Amy Klobuchar and the help of Senators Al Franken and Herb Kohl."
This past summer Klobuchar and Stillwater, Minn. Mayor Ken Harycki testified before the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee in support of the bipartisan legislation and emphasized the importance of the project to the community. That paved the way for the bill to be considered by the U.S. Senate today where Klobuchar secured its passage unanimously.
U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) has a similar bipartisan bill in the House which is supported by U.S. Representatives Rep. Ron Kind (D-Wis.), Chip Cravaack (R-Minn.), and Sean Duffy (R-Wis.).
Included in the legislation is a package of mitigation efforts to protect the St. Croix River that were developed by consulting the Department of Transportation and National Park Service. The mitigation measures were agreed to in 2006 by the National Park Service, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Minnesota and Wisconsin Departments of Transportation and Natural Resources. The mitigation plan would help promote scenic and recreational values of the St. Croix River by eliminating existing man-made structures, protecting river bluff lands, restoring park land, and ensuring public boat access.
The current St. Croix River crossing is at the historic Stillwater Lift Bridge. As the bridge has aged, closings for structural and vehicle collision repairs and maintenance inspections have increased. In addition, the bridge's unique function as a lift bridge, which lifts frequently to allow boats to travel the St. Croix River, is a source of severe traffic congestion.

Featured project
Atlas of Electromagnetic Space
A project by José Luis de Vicente and Irma Vilà in collaboration with Bestiario.
Commissioned by AV Festival 08 and NOW – CCCB Barcelona
The Atlas of Electromagnetic Space is an interactive visualization of the Radio Spectrum, and a database of artistic and social interventions that have been developed in the last decades that employ radio technologies. Projects are catalogued according to the frequencies they occupy. On one level, the aim of the project is to build a clear and comprehensible representation that will allow users to understand how the spectrum works in scientific terms, how is it regulated, and what is exactly its relationship with common technologies present in everyday life like Radio, TV, WiFi, Mobile Telephony, and many others. But the most important objective of the Atlas is creating an archive of all the different interventions in Hertzian Space conceived and executed by artists, designers, social movements, activists, hackers and other members of civil society. We believe this to be specially important because it demonstrates how alternative readings and perspectives on these technologies, and the policies regulating them, can enrich their social and cultural potential beyond their designated uses. These interventions are also an outstanding example of how different social forces are reclaiming a participatory role in the political processes governating the Spectrum, where usually only telecommunication industries and official commitees have a voice.
1. Go here
2. To Navigate the Atlas, please move from left to right with the mouse. You can zoom in and out of the frequencies with the sliders in the Dial, at the bottom of the screen.
WIth the Icon at the Top Left corner, you can toggle the view from the vertical Axis to the Horizontal Axis.
The Vertical Axis represents the Frequency Allocation Chart. Every Frecuency Range allocated to a specific service is represented in the same colour. When more than a colour appears in the same Frequency range, it means the top color identifies the primary usage designation, and the colour at the bottom is a secondary possible designation for other services.
The Horizontal Axis represents the database of projects, placed according to the frequency range they "inhabit". You can acess the information about every different project clicking on the striped band icons that represent them.
Please note that since some projects use a single radio technology with a very narrow frequency range, they appear as thin lines. Others that use several different technologies or are located on wider frequency ranges will appear as longer bands.

I was at City of Hope yesterday and my AML is not back. My plattlet cunt is 108 which is very low. The average is 154 so I am not operating in that zone. My Cancer meds keep them lower then normal and make me Diabetic.
I do not know much about this desease I just know that I didn't need it to show up with my cancer.

Tough news to learn and deal with while fighting cancer. Hopefully by learning how to control Diabetes it will improve your body's ability to fight the cancer better. Also as the cancer gets taken care of its affect on your diabetese should decrease.
I understand your frustration. Was fighting a couple other battles at the time I learned I have diabetes. While my Drs. concentrated on treating the more life threating conditions, they did not ignore the diabetese. It just added another difficulty for them to figure in.
Nothing like fighting life's battles on 2 major fronts. I wish you the best, Jim
Wow, that has to be hard to deal with. There is a lot of information on the site, specially in the "Living with Diabetes" tab on the left of the screen. The "Health Center" is also very good.
In the discussions you will find all kinds of support. People who can relate to the multiple health issues. We are here for you if you need to vent or just have some questions.

Socialism, the Marxist disposition, is absolutely a religion. It is a faith system. It has its saints and sacraments. It is a worldview which offers answers. (If typically the wrong ones.) We have touched on this issue in the past but today Martin Kettle at The Guardian discusses his experience with the faith having been raised as a "red diaper baby" in the UK.
He warns of the reemergence of the materialist opium eaters in his country. (We have a few here too.)
There is nothing wrong with religion per se. But one should know when one's belief system is a religion and many socialists do not understand that that is what Marxism is.
Socialism/Marxism, by the way is inherently crony. A large state breeds cronyism. It always has and likely always will.
(The Guardian)
But Aaronovitch's song of love and pain for the lost family of British communism has made me think again. True, we don't have a communist movement any more. But we do without doubt have a revived left in Britain, which has dusted off some of the same ambitions, some of the same political ideas, some of the same historic dreams and some of the same deep flaws, foolishness and even intellectual turpitude that made British communism unsustainable.
This left of today looks to me suspiciously as if it is developing into another church. This left too is marked by a reluctance to ask necessary but difficult questions about its plans for the world beyond the church walls. This left too seems happiest as a fellowship of true believers, squabbling among itself, dismissive of all those who remain sceptics or whose beliefs the elders find unacceptable. Just as the communists knew things deep down that they should have faced up to, so too does this left.

This year, I'm craving fancy useful accessories and a book is always a good idea as far as I'm concerned.
Armor-Lux slippers would be perfect to toast my feet, cosy up during the holidays with a big cup of jasmine tea, celebrations leftovers and then plunge into the reading of the acclaimed novel "Americanah" by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.
Dries van Noten's "Frieda" varsity scarf and APC bi-material, leather/wool gloves would help officially welcome winter. Both items are well designed, elegant and practical adding interesting graphic eye-catching but not blinding details.
Vanrycke's "Vertige" earrings are a brilliant mix between studs and hoops in a discreet clean style: the perfect everyday jewelry.
Always a classic, Comme des Garçons polka dots wallet adds a bit of fun to an otherwise boring accessory that I tend to always chose in black... This one would shake things up a bit without straying too far from my habits.
What present do you wish for ? Did you make a list or left subtle hints?

After a hard fought battle through the Monastery of the Sacred Flame, the heroes discovered the location of the Holy Grail: it rested deep within the fitful dreams of the sleeping Green Dragon, who had been put to sleep by the Elf Queen herself.
Forbidden access by the Elf Queen in her court, the party had only two possible entities who could grant entry into the great beast's dreams: the Great Gold Wyrm, sealed in the Abyss to prevent the hordes of demonkind from wrecking havoc on the Dragon Empire, or the Diabolist, whose knowledge of the dreamways was surpassed only by the Wyrm himself.
They opted to travel to the Abyss, where the party discovered that all of the servants of the Wyrm across the Empire had been summoned to the great rift leading into Hell. A prophet had gathered all the warriors loyal to the Gold Wyrm from far and wide in order to end the threat of demonkind and free the Wyrm from his vigil in order to usher in a new age of light.
The heroes joined his cause, and together descended into the Abyss itself. If only they had known the treachery that was brewing in their own ranks, they might have prevented the tragedy that would follow.
Tainted by the dark promises of the Diabolist, Tallendryl struck a deal with the dark mistress to allow the party access into the dreams of the Green. After many trials, each hero eventually found themselves alone with the object of their quest- the Grail. Each received that which they so desired- but one was favored above all the rest, and he usurped his former mistress and seized her power for his own.
Events transpired quickly after the heroes emerged from the realm of dreams…
The Green, no longer bound by the presence of the Grail to perpetuate its slumber, exacted its revenge on the Elf Queen and rejoined its long lost siblings, the Three.
The Great Gold Wyrm, betrayed, was gravely wounded- he escaped the Abyss but was rendered crippled.
The Dwarf King's demands on the weakened Empire, bereft of its Emperor, soon led to a short but bloody war, with the Empire suffering great losses.
The Orc Lord captured many territories in the northern Empire for his own, thanks to the disarray of the Imperial Legions. His advance southward was only halted by the combined forces of the dwarves and elves.
The Crusader, though trapped within the belly of the Stone Thief, mastered its heart and made it his own, but was absorbed in the process and driven insane. The beast was enhanced further by infernal magics, and sought to acquire more power from the magic above to grow strong enough for revenge.
The Archmage managed to survive several assassination attempts by the newly bolstered chromatic dragons only to see the city of Horizon, his city, nearly swallowed by the hellish Stone Thief. He wove a spell of great power which sealed the floating city off from the rest of the world and its dangers- but at great cost.
The 13th Age, a glorious time of civilized advancement and stability, has ended. New Icons have arrived to replace those who died with the 13th Age…
Now a mage of incredible demonic power toys with the world, poisoning the land and its people.
Meanwhile, a shadowy man possessed of hellish sorcery stalks the streets, gathering followers for an unknown purpose.
The great Devourer tunnels below the surface of the earth, searching for power, steeped in rage and insanity, and ever hungering for the treasures of the surface.
Additionally, the Four have been united at last, and lay cunning plans to consolidate power to seat themselves as the rulers of the world, while seeking to stamp out the forces of the Wounded Gold Wyrm.
The bastions of civilization are few are far between, and champions of Light and a great Silver Dragon are the world's only hope. Heroes are few, and the future of this world is dark…

"Your Connection to ALL things Vail Valley"
Let the husband-wife team of Scot and Erica Webster connect you with the Vail Valley. Whether you are buying or selling, with us you will find proven success in pairing people with property, as well as a deep knowledge and love of the Vail Valley's lifestyle, people, and businesses.
Originally from San Francisco, CA, Scot grew up in Tucson, AZ where he graduated from the University of Arizona (GO Wildcats!) with a Bachelor's degree in Finance and Business Administration. He moved to the Vail Valley in 1996, and landed a job as a Realtor with Slifer, Smith & Frampton, winning Rookie of the Year honors his first year. With the firm, he first sold out the Cordillera Valley Club, and then joined the team which launched and sold out all developer inventory at Eagle Ranch. In 2011, he moved to his current Slifer office in Arrowhead.
He says, "There's something very meaningful about selling somebody their piece of the Vail Valley. You're talking about the dream that they have been working for. It's the most beautiful place I can imagine, and those of us that get to live here full time are truly blessed!" Scot believes in giving back to the community that he loves so much. He has served as a Councilman on the Eagle Town Board, sat on the Eagle Planning and Zoning Commission, and is a member of the Habitat for Humanity Board.
Born in Madison, WI, Erica Webster played on the University of Wisconsin Women's Golf Team (GO Badgers!). While at the UW she received a Bachelors degree in Business Administration with a Marketing Major. She moved to the Vail Valley in 1994 to take a position with The Club at Cordillera, and soon became only the second female head golf professional in the state of Colorado. During her tenure at Cordillera, Erica continued to play competitively, once tying for second place in the 2002 Colorado Women's Open. Her continued successes enabled her to become the host of a TV show on Fox Sports called "Golf Life", as well as being named to the Instructional Panel for "Golf for Women" magazine. After ten years as head golf professional at the Cordillera Mountain Course, Erica retired to stay at home with their growing family. Now, she says, "I look forward to using my determination and passion to help families achieve the lifestyle they long for in the Vail Valley!"

Jacque finally stopped his trudged walk, no not really, he had more so been jerked to a stop by the hand that had grabbed his collar and yanked it backwards. Was there nothing but hostile bones in these people's forms? Some how he doubted the likes of himself warranted any kindness from the inhabitants of Daemon. The initial force had made him trip and fall, his hands planting firmly on what now seemed to feel like slate. Between the dark nature of the rock and the lack of light in general he could not tell how ever, why he even thought about these things at these times was a humorous mystery to him.
Out of the corner of his eye he could see his captor return from a low bow. It dawned on him that he was in the room he had been taken to many times before. From the man's behavior Jacque knew she was standing right in front of him, unless of course the man just liked bowing for the sake of it.
Jacque doubted he could be as lucky. He kept in his position on the ground, fearing that if he stood back up now she or the man behind him would see it as an insult and be enticed to smack him back down or cut him down, Jacque rather liked having the use of his extremities. His knees began to ache horribly of the hard floor, the silence lead him to wonder what was happening. Was she waiting for him, was he supposed to be waiting for her? Or was she simply playing with him. The answer came while he was thinking in a thick crisp tone.
"Stand Jacque unless you don't like your legs in which case I would be happy to remove them for you." She said.
Jacque stood as quickly as his aching joints would let him. She meant what she had said he thought as he wiggled his left toes, of which there were only three.
He looked at her now, the same woman he had looked upon the times before. All he knew of her was that she was a Daemon of some but not great standing and that in relation to him she was a messenger. She neither ordered him kidnapped or ordered him here today; she met him and passed on the message from who ever had. It seemed all too strange to Jacque that he knew nothing of the people who had kidnapped him and who he now in a sense served.
"A service is requested of you Jacque, do you accept?" she said in a bored tone. Jacque fought to keep the smile from his face. The formality, left over from previous centuries no doubt, was just too much at a time like this, something that belonged in a surreal dream perhaps. He had no choice of course.
"Yes." He said his voice breaking as the fear began to seep back into him. What did they want of him? All he had ever had to do was keep an ear out for any attacks anyone was planning on Daemon or something of a similar worry. That's all any of the captured had to do, and most of them were never called down again unless they heard something which was once in every ten years if they were unlucky.
"There is a girl you know, the name of Oreena. Get her." The sentence was short and the first part had left Jacque too confused to have really taken in the second of the message. He stood there dumb founded for a few moments, Daemons never mixed with Anarchs if they could afford it, and it went against their nature. Before he was thinking straight he asked.
"But... what do you want with Oreena?" he flinched as he asked. It was an unspoken rule that you never asked, you were told. From behind him a shattering blow came from something metal, perhaps the hilt of a dagger. Jacque was out before he even hit the ground. When he woke he was being mercilessly dragged up the stairs again by the same man who had taken him down with one objective, to get Oreena. He reflected on whether he should ask what to do with her once he had 'gotten' her.

PAUL ROBINSON has spoke of his pride at being handed the Pompey captain's armband.
But the new recruit from Millwall admitted that honour is being tainted by his team's dismal winless run.
And Robinson explained he won't truly take pleasure from leading the Blues until he's part of a side delivering victories.
The challenge of ending eight games without a win continues at league leaders Wycombe tomorrow.
And steering Pompey to victory is all that's on the 33-year-old's mind.
Robinson said: 'The gaffer gave it to me (the armband) last week.
'It's an absolute privilege and an honour.
'It's been a pleasure, I'm just disappointed I've not been able to pick up three points wearing it.
'There's been some fantastic players to have worn that armband down the years.
'To follow in their footsteps is great.
'But I want to be part of a successful football team.
'I want to be part of a side who is putting this club back on that journey to where they belong.
'It's an honour to lead the lads and I want to be a part of turning this position around.
'I've come here to achieve things.
'As long as this run continues I won't be happy.'
Robinson admitted it was a relief to have his future secured, after inking an 18-month permanent deal, following his arrival on loan in August.
Now he's looking forward to the challenge of putting the club back on track.
'It's nice to commit more for 18 months and be part of this project,' said Robinson.
'It's nice to get it sorted.
'There is always that bit of uncertainty and you never feel fully settled as a loan player.
'It's now down to the next 18 months to be clear about what I'm doing.
'It's great to be able to settle down and, ultimately, get myself stuck in to the task at hand of getting this club back to where it deserves to be.
'I had the chance to join other clubs at a higher level.
'But the attractive option of being part of this fantastic football club was ultimately what I wanted to do.
'At this stage of my career it's just as important to have that challenge ahead of you to keep you motivated and going.
'That's why I chose Portsmouth and will be working incredibly hard ever day to make sure that happens.'
Robinson is now looking forward to settling into his new surroundings with his family.
He believes that can only help his game moving forward.
'I'm moving the family down and we are going to fully commit to the club and the area,' added Robinson.
'Having the family nearby is important to me.
'Work and family are the two biggest priorities in my life.
'To have that all together in the same area is massively important.
'Having them here means I'm not running up and down the motorway every two minutes.
'So, hopefully, that can be rewarded on the pitch as well.'

Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan will meet his US counterpart Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner this week for a "first-hand assessment" of the state of the American economy.
Mr Swan met with G20 finance ministers this weekend in Mexico, where discussions centred on Europe and the US.
The treasurer will be in Washington this week for talks with US Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke, International Monetary Fund (IMF) managing director Christine Lagarde and Mr Geithner.
In his weekly economic note, Mr Swan warned that international economic events could quickly spill across borders.
"Flows of capital can surge or dry up almost overnight," he said on Sunday.
"Business and consumer confidence in one place can sway sentiment in another."
Despite some encouraging data in recent weeks, economic recovery in the US was still shaky, he said.
The looming "fiscal cliff" in the US, which will see a sudden unwinding of tax cuts and the ending of expenditure programs, also risked crippling the world's biggest economy, Mr Swan said.

Surrey has emerged as a popular alternative for business people and companies looking for office space in the UK. London is too congested, expensive, while Surrey is equally strategic, and is just a stone throw away. This emergence of many offices around the County has come with a need to have office clearance companies. In Surrey, most offices and commercial buildings are increasingly relying on the services of clearance companies. We are one such company, and we have clients in the prime areas of Ashford, Frimley, and Woking, Guildford, Horley, Farnham, to mention but a few.
Each time you hire us, you can always expect;
- Fast and efficient waste clearance services. Our clearance teams understand that their clearance task need not interfere with the activities of the office. We thus seek to get the job done soonest.
- We also emphasize on, and train our employees on the need to be professional while in the line of duty. This includes being courteous, not messing or meddling with anything in the office not related to waste clearance, and so on so forth.

- We'll also advise you on tips you can use so as to keep the office tidy and clean. Often, much of office waste consists of papers and other stationery.

- We'll also provide you with bins that are placed around the office so that littering is in check.
Our office waste clearance services are affordable, take advantage of our Easter offer where we are giving discounts to offices that hire our services during this period.

However, according to scientists at the University of Missouri – Columbia, they have discovered a method that not only eliminates toxins, but has also resulted in national and international recognition for the project's lead scientist. Because nanoparticles are used in so many applications, including cancer treatments, automobile sensors, cell phones, blood sugar monitors and hydrogen gas production, this environmentally friendly discovery garnered Kattesh Katti national recognition by rt Image magazine as one of the 25 most influential people in radiology. "I have always believed that nature is smarter and stronger than humankind," said Katti, professor of radiology and physics in MU's School of Medicine and College of Arts and Science, senior research scientist at the MU Research Reactor, and director of the MU Cancer Nanotechnology Platform. "This new procedure to create nanoparticles is wonderfully simple, yet it will help create very complex components. There is so much to learn from energy generation, chemical and photochemical reactions of plants."Katti and his research team have formed Greennano Company, which is in the beginning stages of producing environmentally friendly gold nanoparticles. The company will focus on the development, commercialization and worldwide supply of gold nanoparticles for medical and technological applications. Katti believes that because of this new process to produce the nanoparticles, researchers are developing other ways to use them.The MU research team, which was led by Katti, Raghuraman Kannan and Katti, found that by submersing gold salts in water and then adding soybeans, gold nanoparticles were generated. The water pulls a phytochemical out of the soybean that is effective in reducing the gold to nanoparticles. A second phytochemical from the soybean, also pulled out by the water, interacts with the nanoparticles to stabilize them and keep them from fusing with the particles nearby. This process creates nanoparticles that are uniform in size in a 100-percent green process. No toxic waste is generated."I'm very proud to be one among the list of '25 Most Influential Scientists' in the world, especially in the company of all time greats and former awardees including: Elias Zerhouni, director of National Institutes of Health (2003); Henry N. Wagner Jr., recognized as the Father of Nuclear Medicine (2004); Henry D. Royal, Peter S. Conti, past presidents of the Society of Nuclear Medicine; and Barry B. Goldberg, pioneer of ultrasound (2007)," Katti said. "This recognition is a tremendous honor and brings a large amount of prestige to our research group, the Departments of Radiology and Physics, the MU Research Reactor Center and the overall research and education enterprise of our University."For more information, visit: www.missouri.edu

I have one of these in pink for my smaller girl cat and its so pretty i bought a pink heart tag to go with it and i love it surprising enough she hasn't managed to get those studs off but i don't doubt she isn't trying
This is so cute and fancy, it would look amazing on any INDOOR cat. Unfortunately my cat is an indoor/outdoor cat. He's mostly outdoors and he already lost his first collar so there's no point in buying him this one.
I have this collar at home (in pink). The collar itself is made of a high-quality material that is very durable. The breakaway clasp works nicely and it even has a metal clasp for looks!
My cat look so handsome in this collar! :0 A friend of ours gave us this collar as a christmas gift last year, and I think it is just adorable!
I love these little collars! They're so cute and stylish and look so good on my cat! Cats should always have a collar!
These are beautiful collars. I have a black lab and I know that this would look great on her!
This collar is fine. Most cats hate collars honestly but this one is cute and inexpensive..
This was my dogs first colors when she was a puppy. So cute. It looked adorable on her!!
My dog loved it and it looked very good on her it seemed to stay together very well

How Mini Split Ductless Air Conditioning Units Work
Older homes often lack central air conditioning. In order for homeowners to enjoy the benefits of cooler rooms and less humid summertime air, heating and air conditioning technicians used to have to tear into a home's walls and install ductwork, which costs a lot of money and eats up a lot of time. With a mini split ductless air conditioner system, however, you can enjoy a more comfortable home right away.
No Duct Work
Mini split ductless systems do not require air ducts. There is an outside unit that acts as the compressor. This unit is connected to refrigerant lines in each room where the homeowner wants an air conditioner. A small wall-mounted unit acts as the condenser and the fan. This allows for cooler air without making huge holes in the walls.
Environmentally Friendly
A mini split air conditioner system uses R 410A as its chemical coolant. This coolant is an environmentally friendly coolant. The coolant cycles between the wall-mounted unit and the outdoor compressor. Each of the wall-mounted units has its own power source so the coolant can be propelled back and forth to the outdoor unit.
Separate Filters
The wall-mounted units have air filters the cooled air comes through before being blown into the living space by the fan. The air filter can be a high efficiency particulate (HEPA) filter or a standard filter. The filter captures allergens and germs.
Individual Thermostats
A mini split ductless air conditioner uses an individual thermostat in each room or zone of the home. The separate thermostats control the wall-mounted unit. Each thermostat can be set to a different temperature. The air conditioner can be on in just one room or on in all of them but cooling to different temperatures.

Lori Senecal is becoming a popular name among female leaders today. She has set herself as the go-to person for companies going through critical transition periods. She is also described as an effective leader with a steely countenance and a long record of success.
However, her seemingly perfect life is not free of controversy, as is the case with many CEOs, as she was once embroiled in a law-suit with McCann Erickson.
Breach of Contract?
Lori Senecal's legal battle with McCann Erickson began in 2009 sometime after she quit her post as the company's President and CEO. The company viewed her departure with suspicion. For starters, she made a base salary of $500,000 and had a total compensation of over $1 million. What's more, she was required to give a 3-month notice before quitting, which she did not, reports Ad Age.
According to McCann Erickson, Senecal signed a contract detailing one-year non-solicitation, non-compete, and non-disclosure terms. The company also accused Senecal of breaching these terms by recruiting its employees and luring away some of its clients during her capacity as CEO of Kirshenbaum Bond Senecal & Partners (KBS).
McCann Erickson accused Lori Senecal of recruiting its chief of brand growth and innovation David Jenkins. She is also accused of luring away two of the company's top executives: chief technology strategist Faris Yakob and chief growth officer Matt Weis. Other employees who deceivingly quit McCann Erickson under Lori Senecal's behest are Amy Hefti and Kathleen Kehoe.
Lori Senecal was also accused of stealing McCann Erickson's long-time client Weight watchers in addition to other agencies. She is accused to have used her capacity as the company's CEO and President to lure Weight Watchers away. In fact, McCann Erickson alleged that she introduced its clients to KBS and MDC while she was still working for it.
McCann Erickson also accused Senecal of revealing its business models and ideas to KBS and MDC. It goes further to allege that some of those business models were developed in conjunction with KBS while Lori was still working for the former.
A Fierce Defense
KBS and MDC were fierce in defending themselves against McCann Erickson's accusations. Lori Senecal, however, chose to remain silent about the controversy throughout much of the hearing. However, McCann Erickson was persistent in its lawsuit.
KBS and MDC had refused to a settlement offer by McCann Erickson at first. However, the latter company eventually had its way and the former two companies were compelled to desist from hiring the said employees or soliciting McCann Erickson's clients.

The dramatic supporting cantilever defines the silhouette of Denton Corker Marshall Architects' View Hill House, which looks out over the Yarra Valley winemaking region of Victoria. Once a series of farms strung out along the tracks through the valley on either side of the river, the Yarra Valley is now a thriving destination for food and wine.
One of the building's storeys appears to hang dangerously and impressively over the other, creating a dramatic and visually-striking structure. The exterior of the lower storey is clad in pre-rusted steel and the upper storey has walls of black aluminium. Thick chipboard lines the interior walls and ceilings of both levels and the floor of the upper storey, while the lower storey features a shining concrete floor.
The space on ground floor is predominately designed for living, dining, and kitchen space, with bedrooms at either end. Upstairs houses two offices and another guest bedroom for the privacy of the occupants. The thought behind the planning appears to have been straightforward; to present controlled views so that the living area looks out over the vineyard. This is achieved by taking each end of the structural tubes and then by raising three panels on the side of the lower tube so that the mountains containing the valley on all sides offer a clear and preferable view.
The sticks which rest on the ground are made of rusting steel, whilst the sticks sitting on right angles on top are made from black aluminium. These sticks appear as very thin metal tubes with glass inset at each end. They are lined with a grey green stained OSB board, on the upper level its walls, ceilings and even the floor is lined - at ground level the floor is charcoal polished concrete. The ground level tube is 6m x 4m in cross-section so that the ceiling heights are 3.2m; the upper tube is 4m x 3m with 2.4m ceilings.

OP here, firstly, there's a lot more to the story than I could fit in 300 characters. The dog that are the blanket is actually my well behaved one. She hardly ever eats anything. She didn't eat the whole blanket. Just chunks of it. She was in her kennel at the time because it's been raining and she's chosen to play in the mud. I'm renting a house with white carpet and I've also had to wash my sheets multiple times in one day due to the mud. So as soon as she comes inside, she goes in her kennel (if she's muddy. If she's not both dogs chill with me). She actually did stop chewing the blanket and started chewing her chew toy. She is a puppy. 7-8 months old, but she's not the hellraiser, the other one is. She was able to poop half of it out on her own, but she was running around with blanket coming out of her ass, trying to figure out what the hell was going on. It was also 11 at night and the area I'm in doesn't have a 24 hour vets office. At this point, I think she's about to start going into her first heat cycle and this can cause dogs to have abnormal behavior. This was a first time thing and it won't be happening again. The reason there's a blanket in the kennels, is because I like my dogs to be comfortable.

Generally speaking dogs don't have the best cognitive skills. Maybe a more hands on approach to stopping her from eating the blanket next time?

That dog is lucky you're not a magician, otherwise you would have been pulling and pulling....

I'm glad you said generally speaking because I know some dogs that are smarter than some people. They could probably get a higher SAT score too.

That's really gross. I'm sorry OP, but next time keep the blanket away from your dog.

3 Things Microsoft Needs to Do to "Win the Console War"
(In the interest of disclosure, I am an Xbox One owner and do not own a Playstation 4.)
In case you've been living in a box the last couple of years, you may have heard that Microsoft is in a bit of trouble with the Xbox One. While it certainly qualifies as a successful console, it is still lagging far behind Sony's Playstation 4 in sales. After a rocky reveal in May of 2013 that focused mostly on TV and sports, Microsoft caught a devastating amount of flak for features such as a mandatory Kinect and internet connection requirement.
Were they overconfident? Absolutely, but their response to the initial missteps has been swift and relentless. Even this hasn't been without criticism. With Phil Spencer now at the helm, the Xbox cannot escape the sins of yesteryear. Is this fair? I'm not sure, but that's another topic. A more competitive console space will only benefit us consumers, and I'd like to suggest a few ideas to help Microsoft get back on track.
Ignore the 1080p DebateIf you build a better ecosystem for playing multiplatform games, they will come.
There's been a lot of fuss about the Xbox One's ability (or inability) to accomplish a 1080p video resolution when compared to the Playstation 4. It's no secret that PS4 is a bit more powerful, and so far this has led to a handful of instances where multiplatform games run at a higher resolution than on the Xbox One. There are countless forum threads on Reddit, 4chan, and GameFAQs where posters work themselves frothy over the failings of the Xbox One hardware. Microsoft needs to ignore this. If they can get games up to 1080p, then by all means they should do it, but don't sacrifice framerate or features to do so.
If I want to play games that look as good as they can possibly be, I'll play them on a PC. I want my console to give me an experience that my PC can't comfortably deliver: An integrated dashboard, built-in friends lists, achievements worth caring about (sorry, Steam), and games with a graphical style that means menus can be comfortably read from my couch.

Yesterday, we discovered a nest that is being built by a very busy Robin. This discovery spurred us to make a bird bag full of goodies that the birds can use to make their nests. We used a produce bag and filled it full of ribbon (how's that for recycling?), yarn, straw, hair from brushes and scraps of cotton fabric. I'm hoping that we will spot some of the goodies in nests around our house. Wouldn't the bright pops of color make for a festive nest?
No Roses for Harry by Gene Zion is a great book to read in conjunction with this activity. It's all about the yarn from a sweater being used to make a nest! My children really enjoy this book and Harry the dog!
P.S. I wanted to make sure all that we put in the bag was safe for the birds and from what I have read the ribbon is fine, as long as it is not metallic.

Tourism welcomes Regional Express airline to the West
13 November 2015
Tourism Council WA CEO Evan Hall has welcomed today's announcement that Regional Express (REX) is the preferred tenderer to fly the regulated routes from Perth to Albany and Esperance.
The entry of REX to Western Australia will fill the critical gap left in the wake of Virgin vacating the south west regional routes. Tourism Council WA is awaiting official news on the outcome of the remaining route tenders for regional WA, such as Monkey Mia, Kalbarri and Geraldton.
Regional Express (REX) is Australia's largest independent regional airline, servicing more than 60 destinations in regional Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia.
"Tourism Council WA has long campaigned to ensure a guaranteed regulated service to both Albany and Esperance," Mr Hall said.
"Offering a regulated route has given REX the certainty they needed to branch out into WA.
"REX has a successful record of offering regional services including to tourism destinations such as Byron Bay and Kangaroo Island," he said.
The REX flights will be available on the Global Distribution System, which means tourists from around the world can book a trip to Albany through a travel agent or online agent such as Expedia.
"Having decent passenger services that are bookable online is crucial to tourism destinations," Mr Hall said.
"The service provided by REX will be a real passenger service with the online ability to allow visitors from around the globe to visit our fantastic regions such as the Great Southern."
Tourism Council WA is expecting more frequent services and overall seat capacity on the Albany and Esperance routes.
Mr Hall said it was important for all parties to expedite the process so flights for fly-drive holidays to Albany and Esperance can start to be booked.
The REX SAAB fleet seats 34 passengers. Tourism Council WA is expecting more frequent services with the smaller aircraft.
"The smaller REX aircraft are not required to have expensive security screenings – we call on Albany and Esperance airports to drop any passenger screening fees to reduce the cost of airfares as soon as practicable," Mr Hall said.

Being on TV seems like a lot of fun, doesn't it? It usually (probably is), except when you're doing live TV and things go terribly, horribly wrong. PBS Science Correspondent Miles O'Brien revealed that he had to get his arm amputated recently after some camera equipment fell on his arm. So sad! But maybe Miles will take some comfort in the fact that he's not the first reporter to deal with on-air crazy. Here's other newscasters who've had their fair share of hardship while on the job. Though, just to be clear, we realize that NOTHING compares to Miles getting his arm amputated. But still, let's proceed…
OK! News: The 2014 Oscars By The Numbers
Just yesterday, a local newscaster at WTVU was reporting from Oakland, California and her nose was dripping. Fine. But it was dripping so much that the reporter, Heather Holmes, ended up swallowing her own snot while the cameras were still rolling! Ew. Watch it here:
Anderson Cooper had a rough time when he was working on a story for 60 Minutes in Portugal. It involved filming on the water, which seems nice, but Anderson was standing out in the sun for so long that he sunburned his eyeballs and went blind for 36 hours. Thankfully, he can see now and he lived to tell the tale:
Photos: 15 Celebrities Whose Names Are Hard to Spell
And in 2011, Serene Branson was reporting live from the Grammy Awards and was slurring her speech during the broadcast. It's still unclear whether she was having a seizure at the time or another serious medical condition, but lucky she's doing just fine now, too.
And who can forget "Grape Lady," who fell flat on her face (and made infamous groans) while filming a segment that involved making your own wine?
Or the guy who dropped an "F" bomb live on Fox News New York?
Watch Kanye West's Appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers
Sue Simmons from NBC did it too though:
And let's not forget the infamous on-air wardrobe malfunction that this girl who works in the stock market was so unlucky to have live on TV. It starts around the :24 second mark:
And everyone, please take a moment to remember the Bob Costas Double Eye Infection of Sochi Winter Olympics 2014. What a trooper.

The most important for every breeder is the competition. If you have any animal of a certain breed, you will contact this desease: you want to partecipate on the competitions, you surely think your animal is the best and you want to win. If it is your pet -there is nothing too terrible when you will lose. Even if you can ask more money for puppies if your dog/cat won a competition.
If your animal is a cow and you are a breeder, these competition become very important for you.
The agricultural shows are very important for the cow-breeders bacause they can show, sell their animals, but they can raise their status -and the prices- if they win. So in the show you can see the breeders walking with their animals -to learn them to walk among the persons.
These beauties are not so young if we look at their udders. But they are all washed and shaved as it seems, too. They have to be sold maybe.

About Me
Our Sheep Dog
The one wish of my heart growing up was a dog of my own. I finally got one after I got married (a two-year old Italian Greyhound). Our first Christmas card we dressed him up like a sheep. Our sheep dog has been with us through nearly all of our married life. The tips of his ears are turning white and he isn't as chipper but we love him still. When I started a blog my sheep dog became the mascot and the rest is history.
