"No one is hurt," Caldwell said. "Thank God for that."
The sinkhole, which is in the middle of the villa, is about 40 to 50 feet in diameter, Cuellar said. He said authorities think it was getting deeper but couldn't tell if it was growing outward. A nearby villa was also evacuated as a precaution and that there had been a sign of a gas leak, but the gas had been shut off.
Summer Bay is described on its website as a luxury resort with condominiums, two-bedroom villas and vacation houses in addition to standard rooms. The site touts a clubhouse, atrium and poolside bar, and says the resort is on a secluded 64-acre lake.
Florida has a long, ongoing problem with sinkholes, which cause millions of dollars in damage in the state annually. On March 1, a sinkhole underneath a house in Seffner, about 60 miles southwest of the Summer Bay Resort, swallowed a man who was in his bed. His body was never recovered.
But such fatalities and injuries are rare, and most sinkholes are small. Sinkholes can develop quickly or slowly over time.
They are caused by Florida's geology – the state sits on limestone, a porous rock that easily dissolves in water, with a layer of clay on top. The clay is thicker in some locations making them even more prone to sinkholes.
Other states sit atop limestone in a similar way, but Florida has additional factors like extreme weather, development, aquifer pumping and construction.<< previous 1 2 3 4

The bathroom, along with the kitchen I would possibly find the hardest to do as they are more a design thing, or structural type project rather than a decorative type project such as the living room and bedroom would be. If you want to change your bathroom or kitchen you have to rip things out, sort out piping and all that confusing stuff I probably would get someone else to do. A professional might I add, not just Jerry down the road with a couple of spanners. I think when it comes down to the bathroom you can't really cut corners to try and save yourself money if you are redesigning the whole room and I feel it would really benefit to pay for the professional.
I've never been a bath person, having really long thick hair and OCD issues I favour a shower over baths. However, getting older and the fact my parents don't have a bath anymore means I am appreciating a bath every now and again when I can. Nothing beats a steaming hot bubble bath, a glass of red and some candles. Am I right? So my bath needs a good ledge for candles and that oh so important glass of wine. I also want a shower that replicates a waterfall and just drowns me so when I put my head under the water my shampoo is rinsed out immediately!
I'd love a 'his & her' sink just because my razor needs to stay my razor and I do have an abundance of beauty products and I'd need both sides to be able to fit them all on...obviously.
(On a funny side note, yesterday my boyfriend and I went to get a few bits in town and walked passed a couple of independent furniture places. He spots some metal pot things that look all rustic and said 'oh, they're nice' - to be honest they were cute but he goes on to say how he would like a wooden or metal themed living room? Little does he know that I've already planned our how our living room will look like. He gets a games room, I get the rest of the house to decorate. That was the deal)

The unofficial second half of the season didn't start out well for the Bucs, as they took a tough loss to open this weekend's big series with the Reds.
Francisco Liriano had his worst outing of the season, and appeared to have some command issues throughout his night. After allowing a solo homer in the first, he recovered for a while but something still seemed off. After a couple of quick innings, things went very wrong in the fifth – even though a Reds baserunning gaffe after a leadoff double nearly helped him escape the inning. A near-DP ball up the middle went for a single, then a bouncer Pedro couldn't handle, and then a walk to Joey Votto ended Frankie's night very early. Justin Wilson came on and allowed the dagger – a three run double that Brandon Phillips absolutely blasted into the gap.
With the way the Bucs' offense was going against Mike Leake, that seemed like the ballgame. Leake was in total control for the first few innings, fooling the Bucs with late movement and getting tons of soft contact. All of a sudden, though, the Pirates started making hard contact in the sixth. THREE homers in one inning…Starling Marte, Andrew McCutchen, and Russell Martin all went yard, knocking Leake right out of the game. Unfortunately, they were all solo shots.
The Pirates had opportunities after that, though. They put two more men on base in the sixth but couldn't push any more across, then got two on in the seventh for Cutch and Pedro only to see both make outs. They even got the tying run to the plate against Aroldis Chapman in the ninth, but Michael McKenry was the pinch hitter of choice and the .180 hitter popped out (#FreeTonySanchez).
Credit the bullpen for more good work keeping the Bucs close, and it wasn't really a dreadful night for the offense – they posted 10 hits and three bombs …. but went 0 for 6 with RISP. The Reds played a pretty sloppy game as well (making three horrendous TOOTBLAN's), but came up big on defense a couple times and got the big hit with men on base. Liriano's start wasn't good, but maybe he just needs to stop facing the Reds…or at least Leake. Three of his four losses this year have come in games started against Leake.
Reds 5, Pirates 3 / Box / 2013 Record: 56-38 / Next: Saturday, at Reds, 4:05

Melbourne's sex trade industry is on alert as police search for an aggressive client who was bothering street workers days before one of them was murdered.
Detectives have yet to find the person who brutally killed the woman in St Kilda on Sunday. They were sifting through CCTV footage taken near the parked van where she was killed.
Victorian homicide squad detective inspector John Potter said it was important for sex trade workers to be alert as police gathered more evidence on the unknown killer.
"We're trying to get a sense of that particular individual," he said.
The 40-year-old woman, who used the professional name Kelly, was found dead by her longtime boyfriend inside her van, parked on Greeves Street.
Police said sex trade workers reported an aggressive client in the area at the time and the information was being pursued as part of the homicide case.
St Kilda Gatehouse chief executive, Sally Tonkin, who knew the killed woman, said everyone was remembering her as a loving and caring person.
"She was the glue in the community and she'll be deeply missed," she said earlier this week.
Potter said all of Kelly's clients needed to come forward.
They were not in any trouble and would have their privacy respected, but they needed to be interviewed so detectives could begin clearing suspects, he said.

Newly-single Katie Holmes has been splashed all over the papers lately, but not for her impending divorce. Instead, everyone is interested in what Katie is wearing for clothes and makeup now that she is free and single. Is she trying to show Tom what he's missing? Or is she letting herself go? The answer is-neither! Katie Holmes has rocked her signature style for years now, and her marital status isn't going to change that. She always looks radiant, except for on the odd night out with Suri, but what mom doesn't have an off day? Besides looking fab in the fashion department, lets check out her signature hair and makeup style.
Katie has experimented with short hair before, but for the past few years has worn her hair long, in a super-shiny espresso shade.
Loose waves and a centre part is her typical hairstyle, but she also goes sleek on occasion. The centre hair part looks great on her face shape and wearing her hair straight makes it appear oh-so-shiny.
For running around town or for an evening out, Katie usually rocks a top knot. But rather than pulling it into a slick style, she leaves it loose to suit her laid-back glam look.
When it comes to her makeup, Katie plays it safe in neutral shades that bring out her green eyes and matches her warm skin tone. Her lipstick is usually a shade with a brown or beige base-a great choice for brunettes.

Control Of Dulles Toll Road in New Hands
Tuesday, November 4, 2008; Page B01
The governing body of Reagan National and Dulles International airports has assumed control of the Dulles Toll Road from Virginia, a key step toward building the proposed 23-mile Metrorail extension between Falls Church and Loudoun County.
The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority, which is supervising construction of the new Silver Line, plans to finance the project in part with future toll increases. The transfer of the toll road from the state government signals that the $5 billion project continues to move ahead, even as it awaits final federal approval.
Additional uncertainty remains over whether opponents will continue to fight the project, and the road's transfer, in court. But rail advocates called the transfer very significant because the U.S. Department of Transportation had to certify the airports authority to operate the toll road, a step state and airport officials had been awaiting for more than two years.
The transfer could not have occurred without that certification, which earlier this year federal officials were reluctant to grant. The federal action provides further evidence that the U.S. DOT is moving toward final approval of the rail line, advocates said.
"This transfer puts the management of the project with the agency best equipped to bring the project in on time and on budget," said Virginia Transportation Secretary Pierce R. Homer. "This is yet another very important and positive step in the life of the Dulles rail project."
Officials with the airports authority said the transfer will have little effect on commuters who use the eight-lane, 14-mile toll road, which runs between Interstate 66 near the West Falls Church Metro station and Dulles International Airport. Virginia will continue to own the highway, and for 18 months, the state highway department will continue to maintain it under contract. Officials said tolls will remain unchanged at least until 2010.
No toll increases would take effect without public hearings, and, as part of the transfer agreement, all toll receipts will continue to pay for the maintenance and operation of the toll road. That will include some of the construction costs of the Metro extension, but no toll receipts will pay for any activities at Reagan or Dulles airports.
Still, the arrangement is troubling to some, who object to the idea of an unelected, regional body -- the airports authority -- carrying the responsibility to set tolls on a state-owned highway. In order to represent the interests of the area's three jurisdictions as well as the federal government, the authority's board of directors is appointed by the Virginia and Maryland governors, the mayor of the District and the president.
Opponents have also protested Gov. Timothy M. Kaine's decision to transfer the road without the approval of the Virginia General Assembly, a decision upheld last month in Richmond Circuit Court.
"I don't know under what authority the governor can transfer a multibillion-dollar asset without the approval of anybody," said Virginia House of Delegates Speaker William J. Howell (R-Stafford). "We can't transfer subaqueous land that's worth maybe $1,000 without legislative approval."
Howell also objected to the plan to use toll road revenue to finance the rail project when the road could have been sold to a private entity and billions in sale receipts used for other transportation projects in Northern Virginia.
"It's just been my belief that the rail-to-Dulles project is an incredibly expensive one. I'm not sure it's ever going to be done, to tell you the truth," he said. "There are far better uses of that money."
Rail boosters, meanwhile, hope that debate is over. The airports authority has submitted the last of the paperwork to the Federal Transit Administration necessary to receive final approval for the rail line. That approval is critical for the project to receive $900 million in federal money toward the rail line's $5 billion cost. Officials are hoping for approval by the end of the year, with construction to start as early as March.
The initial phase of the Silver Line, for which the airports authority is seeking the federal funding, would extend from just past the East Falls Church Metro station on the Orange Line in Arlington County through Tysons Corner to Wiehle Avenue in Reston and is scheduled to be completed in 2013. The second phase, expected to be done in 2016, would extend beyond the airport into Loudoun County.

Posted On: 11/01/2013
Toddies in winter, G&Ts in summer there has always been a seasonality to cocktailing. But these days, when farm to table is the ubiquitous philosophy for any kitchen worth its salt, seasonal sipping goes beyond juleps in May or Manhattans in December. Local and seasonal have made the jump from stove to shaker with many a menu sporting cocktails that feature fresh fruit and lighter-flavored vegetables: raspberries in early summer, watermelon and cucumbers mid-season and peaches in September.
This fall, liquid locavores are pushing the farm-to-glass trend even further, with several local cocktail programs featuring drinks made with root vegetables. Such a leap shouldnt be all that surprising: Beets, carrots and parsnips star in autumn dishes, after all, and if it tastes good on the plate, it stands to reason itll taste good in the glass. But its not just about taste. Bartenders prize these earthy ingredients for their natural sweetness, savory flavors and vibrant color, while beverage directors value them for how well they connect the kitchen and bar. These drinks are meant to go with the food, said Michael Murphy, beverage director for Niche and sister restaurants Brasserie, Pastaria and Taste. They prime you for whats coming and provide cohesiveness to the whole experience.
The Roots
Beet simple syrup, aquavit, ginger liqueur, Cynar
and lemon
Billy Holley, bar manager at Tree House Restaurant, was inspired to use root vegetables at the bar after reading about a beet martini in a magazine. We already have beets on the menu, so theres always scrap available, he explained. And that sustainable element ties in with the theme of the restaurant.
But making the idea a reality took trial and error kind of mad scientist stuff, he laughed. Holley tried infusing vodka and gin with beets but found the concoction to be too inky, so he took a different avenue, adding puréed beets to hot simple syrup. The mixture thick and earthy-sweet was a winner, and now it forms the basis for The Roots, the vegetarian restaurants culinary-forward drink. A lot of cocktails lean toward the sweet side, Holley said, but the beet sugar brings a savory element for balance. Holley rounds out the cocktails flavor profile with other root vegetable flavors and citrus juice. Beets and ginger are a natural flavor pairing, he explained. We played around with candied ginger, but it wasnt right, so we moved to the Big O Ginger Liqueur, which is a really nice local product. Cynar artichoke liqueur and lemon juice add depth and brightness, while aquavit from Midwestern microdistillery North Shore Distillery keeps things regional and adds a well-spiced kick. Garnished with a floating basil leaf and a radish wheel, the jewel-toned drink turns heads when its walked to a table.

Carrot Margarita
Carrot juice, house-infused mango-chile tequila, lemon juice, Cointreau and agave nectar
At Atomic Cowboy, it was the addition of a new kitchen gadget that set the wheels in motion for the restaurants Carrot Margarita (The Beetnik, a beet version, is also available.). When the The Grove hot spot added breakfast to its offerings about eight months ago, a juicer became part of the kitchens arsenal, and fresh vegetable juices including carrot and beet became a morning menu mainstay. That juice is short-lived, explained co-owner Jim Kellogg, so we wanted to figure out how to use it in other areas, and we thought the margarita would be a good fit.
It was a good hunch: The sweet-savory notes of the carrot juice turned out to be a perfect pairing for the smokiness of the tequila. From there, it took just a bit of fine-tuning, tweaking the sour and sweet elements of the classic margarita depending on the juice used. Lemon works well with the carrot, lime with the beet, said Kellogg, who was quick to credit former employee Constance Steinkamp with Atomic Cowboys addition of fresh vegetable juices. For the sweetness, we found that Cointreau works better with the carrot, and Grand Marnier with the beet. And both worked well with the salt-and-pepper rim already in use on the bars bloody mary. The drinks nuanced flavor and vibrant color have made it a hit with patrons and, not surprisingly, a new standard on the menu.
Atomic Cowboy, 4140 Manchester Ave., St. Louis, 314.775.0775, atomiccowboystl.com
Parsnip Flavor Ice
Parsnip juice, rum, lime, dill and sugar
Culinary cocktails may take cues from the kitchen, but they tend to originate at the bar. The chefs at Niche, however, are turning that formula around, creating vegetable-based frozen cocktails for use on the restaurants tasting menu, including one made from juiced parsnips, rum, dill and sugar. Its got a profile like a piña colada sweet, funky, tart, explained chef-owner Gerard Craft. Parsnips are like candy, and that made me think of Caribbean drinks, but a lot more Midwestern. The cocktails clean-flavored sweetness paired with the kick of the alcohol make it an effective intermezzo; the fact that its served just like a mini Fla-Vor-Ice popsicle and eaten by squeezing it out of its plastic tube adds creativity and levity to the fine-dining experience. Dining gets so serious, Craft said. You need to loosen people up and give them some fun.
Niche, 7734 Forsyth Blvd., Clayton, 314.773.7755, nichestlouis.com
Lavender Beets Knees
Golden beet-infused gin, lavender honey and lemon juice
The playfulness continues at the bar at Niche, where bartenders mix up a twist on the classic Bees Knees cocktail by infusing golden beets into gin. The drink was the result of a desire to make a cocktail that correlated with a dish from the kitchen that featured lavender and beets. Red beets can be overpowering, explained Murphy. But golden beets, when theyre roasted, take on the seductive sweet-savory component we were looking for. When infused into Pinckney Bend gin, a very clean spirit made in New Haven, Mo., that features a very light juniper flavor, the spirit takes on a golden hue and a delicate, earthy flavor that complements the floral notes of the lavender honey. Fresh lemon juice lends a balancing zing, as does the lavender salt rim on the glass.

Imperfection in wood and ink
I was having a nice week of Herfst (autumn) vacation, as we call it here in the Netherlands, last week. And actually quite busy... Off to DDW in the first weekend and having dinner in the fabulous USINE, where we had a great salad with wasabi-mayonaise [Now how Tasty is that!!] It really was a week of eating out and meeting friends... I cold easily get used to eat outside for three times a week ;)
Then last Sunday I went to Fort Festijn at Haarlemmerliede, a small fair in a tiny village near Amsterdam. Several web shop owners were there to sell [I bought a little copper cap for some lightning plan I am working on for some time now] And very nice to finally meet Ingrid from Wood Wood Stool as well, she printed me this word on a piece of wood... perfect hey !

Hej Desiree, sterk woord, mooi standpunt! en dit kwam ik ergens tegen op het web ;)
How to Become an Imperfectionist?
1 – Imperfectly pick one thing you keep telling yourself you want to do.
2 – If you read #1 and think, "I can't possibly pick just one! There's too many!" then do not proceed until you have picked just one.
3 – Get a timer, and set it to 55 minutes.
4 – Walk away from your computer right now and spend 55 minutes doing that very activity.
5 – Repeat #4 again tomorrow.
6 – Repeat #4 again every day after that until the item is complete.
7 – Celebrate the item's completion with chocolate, flowers, or a manicure.
8 – Go back to #1 and start over.

The Chelsea and England footballer Ashley Cole has apologised to police officers after he was arrested and fined on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly today.
"I would like to take this opportunity to apologise to the police officers on duty last night for my language," said Cole in a statement on the official Chelsea FC website. "I felt I was being harassed by paparazzi and while complaining to the police about this at the scene they did warn me to calm down, a warning that I regrettably did not heed. I fully appreciate that whatever frustrations I may have had with others that it was completely inappropriate to vent those in conversations with the police.
"However, I do want to make clear that I swore in frustration at the paparazzi's behaviour. I would never disrespect police officers in anyway. I take very seriously my responsibilities as a professional footballer, this includes keeping my body in the best condition. Although I had consumed some alcohol earlier in the evening on a night out with friends it had not been excessive. But I accept that the language I used on this occasion was wrong. I regret my actions and how it reflects on myself and Chelsea Football Club."
The 28-year-old left-back was arrested in South Kensington in the early hours of this morning. He was taken to a London police station and issued with a fixed-penalty notice for being drunk and disorderly, the standard penalty for which is an £80 fine, before being released.
A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "We can confirm a 28-year-old man was arrested at approximately 2.15am in Brompton Road on suspicion of being drunk and disorderly. He was taken to a central London police station where he was issued with a fixed-penalty notice for being drunk and disorderly and released shortly after 5.30am."
Earlier in the evening, Cole had been pictured at a charity event at the nearby Armani Store on Brompton Road, where, according to Chelsea's official website, "other guests included former formula one supremo Eddie Jordan, Graeme Le Saux, TV presenter Alice Beer and Lady Helen Taylor".
A police source also revealed officers were not called to the scene as a result of Cole's alleged actions. "The officers were there anyway," a police source told the Press Association, "but they were then alerted to the fact that Cole may have been acting drunk and disorderly."
The police source denied officers were following up a complaint from a photographer in relation to an alleged altercation with the left-back.

Patricia Sereno - Celtic Harp Music is and always has been an integral part of my life. In this album of solo Celtic harp, I have composed pieces with the purpose of easing your Spirit and restoring your Soul. The vibrations from the harp will support your quiet activities or introspective moments. The rhythms found in the music were intentionally created to reflect the natural rhythms of breath, heartbeat or walking. This music can gently guide you back to yourself and is the perfect sound remedy to make any stress dissipate and disappear all together. In many ancient civilizations and through the ages up to our modern day, music from a harp has been used for the purposes of healing and bringing relief from various types of suffering. From this healing perspective, the vibration of the harp, immediately eases any physical, emotional, mental or spiritual tension and restores the natural state of peace and well-being. Having lived and travelled abroad for many years, I have injected some colours and flavours from other cultures in a couple of pieces but mostly the music sounds Medieval/Celtic. This album is suitable for all ages and guaranteed to put babies and dogs to sleep! Have a listen for yourself and be carried away to another time and place... Feel free to visit my website or email me if you like... I would love to hear from you!


text: OK, I have a question for our European friends here at TPF: In July I will be traveling to Romania for 2 weeks and wanted to know what cell phone services do you recommend? For now I can get a SIM card for my current phone (T*Mobile) or I can get a 2 week rental for about $50. Does that seem steep? What other recommendations might you have? I could probably pick something up in Frankfurt, between planes, because I heard the prices in Romania are steeper. Thanks in advance.

By Unknown
While watching newspapers die, only one question comes to me: Who were we trying to impress? Was it the readers, the advertisers, ourselves, the people who give out awards, or were newspapers only trying to impress each other? I think it may be the last one, and our success at that may have been our downfall.
You'd think any business plan would have at its core making an impression on the people who pay for the product, but it hasn't ever been the case with newspapers.
In 1970, my editor told me, "We have to get young people to read the paper." So we did everything we could to get young people to buy the paper. We started with lists of bars, lists of bands and how you can spend your weekend in ignorant bliss. It meant nothing to the people who bought the paper, and young people continued not to read.
In 2007, my editor told me, "We have to get young people to read the paper." We did everything we could to that end. We started with lists of bars and bands.
My contention: Young people have never read the local newspaper. They begin needing local information when they get married, their children go to school, they have to buy a home, and they need to know what is going on locally.
Older people have always, in my lifetime, been the people who support local newspapers. So when we pandered to young people with lists of bars, bands, fashions and the newest garbage, to the detriment of local news, we alienated the one group of people who read newspapers, and they cancelled their subscriptions.
So we didn't impress our subscribers, and we certainly haven't been trying to impress advertisers. We shouldn't pander to them, but why shouldn't we care what they do? Why can't we add local solar power companies to stories about the environment? Why quote some "expert" from Wyoming when we are selling a paper in Connecticut and we have advertisers who are just as expert who buy an ad once in awhile?
So, if not the advertisers or subscribers, who is it we were trying to impress? Newspapers have always been trying to do one thing: Impress people from other newspapers.
We set our style books according to what others do, we choose our graphics by watching who wins awards and then copying them. We run annual stories of snowstorms, fireworks, blueberry season and anything else we feel other news-papers will do.
So, we have gone about our business, for at least the past three decades, without trying to impress in any way the people who spend money on our product.
It is simple. We are failing because we are in a business of trust, and people no longer trust us. With good reason. We turned our backs on the people who supported us. We thought they would buy our product no matter how low the quality of the product sank, no matter how much we showed our disdain for them.
In newspapers or on the Internet, we have to earn back the trust of our readership and our advertisers with better writing, better editing, better choice of articles and a new focus on just who it is we are trying to impress.

Gian Piero Gasperini admits Inter lacked balance and explains why he removed Mauro Zarate, but "this team has potential."
The Nerazzurri hadn't lost the opening game of the season for a decade, but twice threw away a lead to lose 4-3 at Palermo.
"Many little things annoyed me, but above all we were in the lead and couldn't keep hold of it twice. Then we had the game in hand and still went behind against the run of play. That is the biggest regret," said the Coach.
He started with the South American trident of Diego Milito, Mauro Zarate and Diego Forlan, but substituted the ex-Lazio striker after just 34 minutes.
"Zarate had always been very sparky this week, while tonight he was suffering when defending, so when Wesley Sneijder came on we adapted.
"Undoubtedly we need to reflect on these situations, as being on the end of so many counter-attacks from our own corners shows a lack of concentration. We certainly have to work on that.
"We must learn how to support the attack, which at the moment we are not doing very well. We conceded the first two goals with our defence in place, so these too are situations that are unacceptable and must be improved.
"Aside from the mistakes, our regrets are that we were doing well towards the end and looked like we would win, but then conceded twice in quick succession.
"I introduced Ricky Alvarez precisely because it was a favourable moment for us and we needed fresh legs in this heat, as it was a very warm night in Sicily."
Inter have lost the Italian Super Cup to Milan and fallen to this shock defeat in Serie A, so the pressure is piling up on Gasperini to change his 3-4-3 system.
"This team has potential, as we proved tonight, but we need to find the best possible balance. It's a shame that we lost the first game of the Serie A season.
"Forlan did well and proved again tonight he is an important player, but there were no doubts on that anyway."

Gunners leave it late to bring in Monreal
01/02/2013 - 07:08:29Back to Sport Home
Arsenal broke with tradition to make a last-minute purchase last night, and the Gunners are now looking to cash in against Stoke tomorrow.
With defensive numbers thin in the ground, manager Arsene Wenger made an out-of-character deadline-beating buy as he paid an undisclosed fee to Malaga for full-back Nacho Monreal.
The 26-year-old Spain international has penned a long-term deal and will plug the gap left by Kieran Gibbs, who was ruled out for three weeks after injuring his thigh during Wednesday's 2-2 draw with Liverpool.
A number of defensive collapses left Arsenal 2-0 down during that game, only for Olivier Giroud and Theo Walcott to pull them out of trouble and, according to the latter, they need to take that momentum into tomorrow's game with the Potters.
"We are at home, we are very strong and we need to pick up three points rather than a point," Walcott said on Arsenal Player.
"If we show the performance from the second half [against Liverpool] then I am sure we will beat them."
Wenger felt his side were "too nervous" at the back against Liverpool, something which has become an alarming trait in recent games.
German forward Lukas Podolski understands the collective need for firing on all cylinders right from kick-off.
"It is a problem in the last matches that we are losing a goal and then coming from behind," he said.
"We must start strong from the first minute and score the first goal.
"In the last few weeks that has always been the problem, that we have to fight and come back.
"However, when you are 2-0 down and you come back like against Liverpool it feels like three points, and this is the way we have been playing recently."
The acquisition of Monreal should at least shore up Wenger's defence.
"We are delighted that Nacho Monreal has agreed to join us. We have been monitoring him for some time now and are really pleased that we've been able to agree this move," the Frenchman said.
"Monreal is a strong left-sided defender with good experience at both club and international level. He is a technically gifted player, a good crosser in the final third and strong in the air. Monreal will add quality to our squad and of course, to our defensive unit. We all look forward to him playing for us."
The deal remains subject to the completion of what the club describe as a formal registration process, but does represent an unusual move from Wenger.
He has rarely dealt so close to the deadline, but the injury suffered by Gibbs last night seems to have forced his hand.
Monreal, a former Osasuna academy graduate, signed for Malaga for £6million in 2011 after making an impression with his hometown club, for whom he made 127 appearances.
He made his debut for Spain in a 2009 friendly against Macedonia and has gone on to win nine caps for the national side.

The Seed Of The Kingdom Series
Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 8, 2001 (message contributor)
Summary: Jesus tells of the Kingdom being like a tiny Mustard Seed. This sermon explores what something so small could mean in describing something so majestic
TOP 10 CLASSIFIED ADS – From true classified ads in daily newspapers
10. Wanted. Man to take care of cow that does not smoke or drink.
9. Try us once, you'll never go anywhere again.
8. Dog for sale: eats anything and is fond of children.
7. Illiterate? Write today for free help.
6. Stock up and save. Limit: one.
5. Man wanted to work in dynamite factory. Must be willing to travel.
4. Semi-Annual after Christmas Sale.
3. For sale: antique desk suitable for lady with thick legs and large drawers.
2. We do not tear your clothing with machinery. We do it carefully by hand.
1. Used Cars: Why go elsewhere to be cheated. Come here first
APPLY: Many of those classifieds are funny, because somebody left out, or misspelled, one small word or phrase. Sometimes, it's the things you don't notice - the little things that have greatest value.
In our text today, - Jesus tells a parable using one of the smallest of seeds known to the people in that day: the mustard seed. How many of you have ever seen a mustard seed? It's not much bigger than a speck of dust, and yet Jesus uses this small, seemingly insignificant little seed to tell us something about His kingdom, the Church.
I. Parables were stories that Jesus told where He used common items that people often saw everyday (such as birds, flowers, seeds) to describe spiritual truths & realities they'd never seen or would never see.
No one had ever seen the "Kingdom of God" Jesus was describing, SO, He told parables like this to help people visualize what it was going to be like.
But, why use an item like a mustard seed. It was a small, insignificant, relatively unimportant seed. It wasn't highly prized. It was useful for flavoring food, it's leaves were edible, and some believed (if prepared properly) parts of the plant had medicinal properties.
BUT, it was also something of nuisance plant. Jesus calls it a tree here… but it's actually more of a shrub. It grew sometimes to a height of 10' to 12' and its stem often could become the thickness of a man's arm… but it was still a shrub. And it wasn't an overly attractive plant. In fact at times, people regarded it as a bit of a weed. You didn't dare plant it in your garden it would crowd out all the other plants and literally and take over.
(A note to preachers accessing SermonCentral = while searching the Internet for pictures and information on the mustard seed, I found that skeptics felt they had really found a error in Scripture because Jesus had called this mustard plant a "tree." It took me a couple of hours to discover that the mustard shrub - commonly believed to be the Black Mustard plant - sometimes grew to heights of up to 15'. However the only picture I could find to substantiate that fact was in the "Wycliffe Bible Encyclopedia, Vol. II @ 1975. In other words, the mustard plant could tower over people much like a tree would, and would no doubt many Jews of that day may have called it just that - a tree. For Jesus to have called this shrub a tree, therefore, would not have been a error in Scripture if it were commonly referred to by others in that fashion).

For more about using talk pages check out Wikitravel:Using talk pages.
This is the discussion that led to the merger of Lido di Ostia and Ostia Antica into this new page of Ostia
Tale of two (or three?) Ostias Should Ostia Antica have a see listing here, when it's not actually in Lido di Ostia? This was confusing enough to me where I had to look on Wikipedia to see whether Ostia Antica is located in Lido di Ostia.
And I'm still confused, actually, as there are three wikipedia Ostia articles: Ostia Antica, the archaeological site, the district of Ostia Antica (distinct from Lido di Ostia, but also part of Municipio XIII), and Lido di Ostia (which is what this article covers).
So is the archaeological site located in the district of Ostia Antica? I note that the Ostia Antica article says it's not even located within Rome at all. --Peter Talk 17:02, 3 June 2009 (EDT)
Bump. --Peter Talk 11:22, 20 January 2010 (EST) Peter, You are confused. I am, too, and I live here! 1. Pompeii has a See listing so I don't see the problem there. 2. One of the Ostia Antica hotels is actually in Lido di Ostia 3. Ostia Antica is a very important site and I'd highly recommend a visit. So it has to be given some prominence, but no more than, say, the Roman Forum. 4. The area around Ostia Antica, for which you have to pay admission, is known as the District of Ostia Antica. There are a few other minor ruins that possibly fall within that District and I may have made a mistake by putting them under Lido di Ostia! 5. All these definitional problems could perhaps be overcome by having one article for Ostia. 6. That could be Rome/Ostia or a separate Ostia article with a prominent link in GET OUT of Rome. More likely to be seen if retained as Rome/Ostia ????? Shep 01:04, 21 January 2010 (EST)
Rereading your original piece I realise I misunderstood it. But I think my solution is still valid. Shep 12:16, 21 January 2010 (EST) Having just one Rome/Ostia sounds like a fine solution to me. --Peter Talk 14:45, 21 January 2010 (EST) Done!Shep 14:32, 22 January 2010 (EST)
i will renew the ostia lido page at this link http://wikitravel.org/en/Rome/Lido_di_Ostia as lido di ostia is at the same time part of rome's city council but infact is a different city about 25 km away from rome, i live in ostia so i will do my best to improve this page, just make sure the other links about ostia\ostia antica goes into this page (14 may 2011)

Assuming wealth freed me up to do more of what I want to do (BIG assumption), I would probably come here more often. I already write Perl for my job, but I do a lot of other things for my job too, and I spend less time coding than I'd like.

 Sadly, my reading suggests that if I were really to become very wealthy, I would end up spending more time worrying about what my money was doing, and actually have less time to do things I enjoy.

When is it okay to say something about how long it takes for a guy to respond to a text or email? I've been out with the guy in question twice. He sometimes takes a whole day (as in 24 hrs) to reply to emails. – Georgia, 38, NYC
I'd need a little more to go on here. In general, I find a long lapse in response to an email to be a not so good sign. There's just no excuse for someone to not be able to reply to a message within a few hours at least. I can't stand when people say that they're "so busy!" and that's why they haven't sent a response. Orly? That busy? Wow. You're so important! I'll just sit here eagerly awaiting your response while you carve out the 38 seconds it would take to write a reply.
There's usually an underlying message to the lack of a message. They're trying to tell you something without telling you while probably trying to maintain their image as a "good person." They're hoping you get the hint and go away quietly.
Passive aggression. I hate it. I hate it more than I hate Facebook status updates about what someone had for lunch.
The most frustrating part of being on the receiving end of that behavior is that if you speak up and say anything, it just gets worse. You become the "crazy" one. You're not sympathetic to their situation. You're selfish.
The lapse in response time and disappearing during a conversation is done to create a sense of urgency and incite confusion and insecurity. It's often a power play, and it's really, really destructive to someone's self-esteem. It's especially unhealthy if, like me, you're confrontational. I only had to be involved with one passive aggressive guy to learn very quickly that a relationship with someone like that will not end well for me. It just becomes this ongoing pissing contest.
The true sign of passive aggression is that when a person is called on it they will respond with something particularly hurtful. The goal in such cases is to subdue you. You're on to them, they know it, and now they feel trapped. Ignore whatever it is that they say. Remember, it's said with the intention of slicing your psychological Achilles heel. They'll identify your weakness and exploit it to your advantage. Especially if you've constructed a well informed argument. That's why I hate to see you or anybody else put yourself in a vulnerable position so early in the game. Some things men and women just have to suck up for a bit until there's a genuine comfort level.
My honest advice to you is to stop contacting this guy all together. By not replying in a timely fashion, he's telling you where you fall on the priority list. That's not to imply that you should be high a top the list after two dates. That's an unreasonable expectation. However, if he was genuinely interested in keeping you around in some way he'd at least do I what I refer to as "investing." Investing can take many forms. It can be the weekly text from someone you met online, sent "just to say hi", but never leads to setting up an actual date. It can be a few word response to an email you sent. Investing involves making the bare minimum of effort just to maintain a line of communication and contact.
At best, I would think this guy is moderately interested. I'd suggest sitting back and waiting to see if he follows up with you at some point. In the interim, hop online or go out and meet other people.

Attorney: Donald Trump lied on stand
CHICAGO (AP) — The attorney for an 87-year-old woman who accuses Donald Trump of cheating her in a skyscraper condo deal told Chicago jurors on Wednesday that the "Apprentice" star lied on the witness stand — then added he was personal repulsed by him.
The comments came during a sarcasm-filled closing argument at a trial that has pitted investor Jacqueline Goldberg against the billionaire real estate mogul-turned TV showman.
His voice rising, attorney Shelly Kulwin portrayed the case as a battle between a woman who learned her values growing up in the Depression and a powerful businessman. Other countries may ensure the powerful will prevail at trial, he said, "but not here. Not in America."
Trump, who is from New York, wasn't in court for the closings, but Kulwin displayed a photograph of the beaming developer on a large courtroom.
"The thought of my grandma being in the same room with that guy. Yuck!" said Kulwin, prompting a Trump attorney to object. The judge told jurors to disregard the comment.
Later, he said Trump was motivated to cheat his client by greed.
"It's like his family, those dollars," Kulwin said. "He's in the business of getting, not in the business of giving."
Trump's attorney was set to deliver his closing arguments later Wednesday.
Goldberg alleges that Trump wooed her into buying two condos at around $1 million apiece by promising she would share in building profits but reneged after she committed to buying.
"It's called a bait and switch," Kulwin told jurors. "Here's the bait. Here's the switch."
Trump testified for two days last week, saying he couldn't believe Goldberg signed a purchasing contract knowing he had a right to withdraw a profit-sharing deal — then still sued him. He also denied ever cheating anyone, and later told reporters he was the victim, not her. He declared, "She's trying to rip me off."
But Kulwin told jurors that Trump took the stand "to lie, evade and spout infomercials" about how he built successful buildings. He also mocked Trump for telling jurors he never took notes of business meetings and so couldn't say for sure when certain decisions were made and by whom.
"People who don't want to be found out don't write things down. They're not stupid," he said. "And Donald Trump may be a lot of things — but he's not stupid."
Kulwin told jurors Goldberg was seeking a total of $6 million in damages.
"Send a message not just to Mr. Trump — but to tell others like him," he said pounding his hand on a podium. "You can say to them, 'These people who do these things have crossed the line."

Puppies, doctors make life better
Published 7:00 pm, Sunday, June 7, 2009
There's a 1 year old at my house who already knows the alphabet.
OK, he doesn't know all the letters yet. And when I say "knows the alphabet" I really mean he's learning to jump over bars set up in patterns to resemble the letters of the alphabet.
For those who haven't figured it out, I'm talking about a puppy, not a baby.
Actually, he's not a puppy anymore. He's virtually a full-grown dog now.
Yep, Quest turned 1 back on May 19, and "Little Q" isn't so little any more.
What was the 11-oz. "runt" of a litter of two has turned into a handsome 53-pound blonde golden retriever. He's 22 inches tall at the shoulder, but when he raises his front paws on my chest we almost see eye to eye.
He does that virtually every day at lunchtime when I open the gate to let him out of the backyard.
The only time Quest doesn't greet me with paws almost on my shoulders is when he's over visiting his girlfriend, Abigail. Yep, "Little Q" has a special lady friend. Abby is Steve and Roberta Turner's beautiful little beagle, and they're quite the pair. Quest and Abby love to run around and play chase. The day just isn't complete when Quest doesn't get to visit Abby.
Besides Abby, Quest also loves to play with one of our other two dogs, Brittany. (Copper mostly likes to be left alone.) Brittany is a very long-legged golden retriever and a little bigger than Quest, but those two really get into it. Believe me, you don't want to be on the track when they start running laps around the yard. After three or four solar yard lights were virtually destroyed by their crashes, I've given up on trying to keep those things upright.
Besides that, though, Quest virtually has been a perfect puppy.
We've heard horror stories about the destructiveness of young teeth, and Brittany did her share of chewing on stuff when she was younger.
But we've seen almost none of that from Quest (knock on rawhide). He mostly enjoys chomping on tennis balls, and Friday night he had a good time putting his teeth marks on an old plastic plant container that became his favorite toy for a couple of hours, then it was off to something new.
Speaking of tennis balls, Quest loves to play fetch. He's our fifth "retriever" but the first who has really wanted to retrieve anything more than once.
The cutest thing about playing fetch with Quest is how he traps the ball between his chin and whatever object you happen to be near in an effort to get your attention. It's simply impossible to resist those big chocolate eyes waiting patiently for you to notice he's ready to fetch again.
Nancy - Quest's "mother" and, secondly, my wife - took Quest to obedience classes and now they go to agility training, and he shows lots of promise. As Nancy puts it, if she can keep from messing him up Quest could follow in the footsteps of his national champion dad, Ted.
I better stop writing now before I really start bragging on Quest. I'd hate for him to read this and get the big head.
It may seem like a strange transition, going from dog to doctor, but I'd like to conclude today's column with a salute to Dr. Gale Seigler, who died back on May 23.
At his funeral service, the Rev. Rusty Gray said his father-in-law could "get over fences faster than I could" when the two were out hunting.
The thing that always got me most, though, was seeing Dr. Seigler on his John Deere riding lawn mower. He'd drive it from his office a few blocks away to St. Mark's, where we'd meet on Saturday mornings. While I worked on the church yard, he'd mow the "south 40," as he called the church's vacant lots.
Of course that's only a fraction of the impressive things Dr. Seigler did in his 88 years.
Printed in his service folder was a copy of an anonymous Letter to the Editor published upon Dr. Seigler's retirement in 2001. Part of that letter read:
"Plainview and all the surrounding little cities owe you, Dr. Gale Seigler, a huge thank-you for your faithful and caring service to so many of us. You so tenderly and lovingly cared for us when we were ill, suffering, afraid and broken in spirit. WebroughtsomanyproblemstoyouandyoupatientlylistenedandusedyourexpertiseandmedicalwisdomwithsuchtendernessthatwefeltwewereinthepresenceofagooddoctorandyourhandswereextensionsofthehandsofGod.
After giving him the first shoe, Dr. Seigler told Rusty he could spend the next 50 years trying to fill his other one.
What a guy.

|Sometimes mistranslated as Gui Gu.
Sui Gu (onyomi: Ki Ko) is a Black Mountain bandit who later served Yuan Shao.
Role in GamesEdit
Sui Gu appears in Dynasty Warriors 8: Xtreme Legends as an enemy officer at Changshan. He is one of the three officers who attack Yuan Shao's main camp from the east in the beginning of the stage. Sui Gu also appears as an officer in Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He is given moderate battle skills and low domestic skills. Most games depict him as a cavalry officer.
Historical InformationEdit
Probably born in Bing Province, Sui Gu became a Black Mountain bandit under the leadership of Zhang Yan. In 193, Yuan Shao started an expedition against them in the Taihang mountains west of Ji Province and killed most of their leaders at Lucheng. Zhang Yan met Yuan Shao's forces at Changshan and they fought for several days before both sides withdrew. Around that time, Sui Gu left the bandits. He went to the Governor of Henei, Zhang Yang, and became one of his vassals. In 198, Zhang Yang aligned himself with Lu Bu and prepared his forces to assist him in his fight against Cao Cao, but he was assassinated by his officer Yang Chou, who wished to lead his remnant forces to join Cao Cao. Sui Gu quickly killed Yang Chou and took control of the army. He then led them east to join Yuan Shao instead and was stationed at Shequan.
Cao Cao sent his general Shi Huan to camp at Quancheng and prepare an attack on Sui Gu. The Dianlue (典略) states that when Sui Gu was in the city, a sorcerer said to him, "General, your style is Rabbit ("Botu" means "White Rabbit") while the city's name is Dog ("Quancheng" translates to "Dog City"). When a rabbit sees a dog, it is naturally afraid. You ought to move elsewhere as soon as possible." Sui Gu did not heed the advice and instead led his forces to attack Shi Huan at Quancheng. Sui Gu was either captured and executed or killed in battle and his forces absorbed into Cao Cao's army.
Romance of the Three KingdomsEdit
Sui Gu only appears in chapter 19 of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. He is mentioned to have joined Yuan Shao after killing Yang Chou, who had previously killed Zhang Yang. He led his forces to Daicheng, where he was attacked and killed by Shi Huan.

Perth heat wave breaks more records
Perth has broken another heat record.
The temperature has climbed above 30 degrees in the city for the 26th day in a row, beating the previous record set in the summer of 1988.
But the string of warm nights has ended, with the mercury last night dropping below 20 for the first time in 17 days.

Case Keenum threw a pick that set up a 49ers touchdown. Rookie Tom Savage threw a pick that gave the 49ers a touchdown. On the sideline, Bill O'Brien probably felt like throwing up.
After consecutive successful preseason efforts against Atlanta and Denver, the Texans reverted to the dreary form of their opener at Arizona and alternately stumbled and bumbled their way to a 40-13 defeat at sold-out but seemingly half-empty NRG Stadium Thursday night. The home team's only touchdown came courtesy of the defense, when seventh-round draft pick Andre Hal ran 77 yards for a pick-six off Josh Johnson in the third quarter.
Hal had also scored on a 64-yard pick-six in the fourth quarter against Atlanta. The 5-10, 188-pound cornerback from Vanderbilt finished the preseason tied for the team scoring lead with running back Johnathan Grimes and placekicker Randy Bullock, all with 12 points.
The Texans open their first season under O'Brien Sept. 7 at home against the Washington Redskins. The new coach can take some solace in the fact that none of his key players could shoulder any blame for the lopsided loss because they didn't play. Only three starters – right guard Brandon Brooks and defensive linemen Jared Crick and Jerrell Powe – were participants against the Niners, who also hardly resembled the resurgent Jim Harbaugh teams that reached the last three NFC Championship Games.
But it was all too obvious the Niners' backups were better than the Texans' backups with few exceptions. O'Brien has to be concerned about his depth going forward. And he'll begin playing for keeps without having seen either running back Arian Foster or cornerback Johnathan Joseph play a single snap in the preseason. Foster didn't participate at all during the 2013 preseason, either, and look how that turned out for him.
Keenum and Savage, a fourth-round draft pick, split the quarterback duties for the Texans in the first half and neither was particularly effective. But Keenum, 8-for-17 for 70 yards, threw a late interception that preceded Josh Johnson's 13-yard touchdown pass to Bruce Ellington that gave San Francisco its 14-6 halftime lead. Savage, the hero of last weekend's last-minute win at Denver, completed six of his seven passes and got the Texans close enough for Randy Bullock to kick a 52-yard field goal.
After Johnson moved the Niners to the Texans' 10, from where Phil Dawson nailed a 28-yard field goal to start the third quarter, Savage came out throwing. Unfortunately, linebacker Chris Borland stepped in front of his intended target, tight end Ryan Griffin, straight away and sprinted 34 yards into the end zone. The 16-year veteran Dawson's PAT gave San Francisco a 24-6 lead.
Hal answered with his own spectacular interception return, surely locking up a roster spot the moment he crossed the goal line, but the 49ers then responded with a seven-play, 70-yard drive that Johnson capped with a 5-yard flip to Kyle Nelson early in the fourth quarter, putting the game out of reach.
The Niners weren't done, however. They added a safety on a blocked punt by Kassim Osgood at Boswell's expense, then further embarrassed the Texans by going 60 yards in five plays in 2½ minutes. Johnson's third touchdown pass, for two yards, also landed in the wide-open Nelson's hands.
Savage played the entire second half but generated nothing close to a sustained drive, completing just two passes.
The 49ers had given up 57 points – while scoring only three – in their first two preseason games against Baltimore and Denver, but they held the Chargers and the Texans to a combined 20 points.

*SPOILER ALERT* Breaking Bad: and now, the end is near.
Breaking Bad ends next week, so… POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD – DON'T READ IF YOU'RE NOT UP TO DATE!
Yes, as a whole, Breaking Bad is one of the great television shows of our time. Like all great programmes – The Sopranos and The Wire, especially – it pulled that great trick of making everyone slightly repugnant in their own right, fueling moral quandaries about who you were rooting for. In Bryan Cranston, Vince Gilligan and co discovered an actor who managed to make meek mean, who transformed helplessness into a form of psychopathy, who valued greed and integrity and was as ruthless as he was cowardly. It's difficult to now say that the programme is overrated (something I believed at the start of season five) but much of Breaking Bad has still been extremely frustrating to watch, often eye-rollingly slow and even mind-numbingly boring at times. I've often felt that Jesse's constant lazing and nodding out around the house with his stupid stoner buddies surrounded by pizza boxes was some sort of TV version of limbo where the viewer would have to wander around forever. Watching it evoked the same hypnotic lethargy of going off piste on GTA for hours.
Yet so much of it has been amazing. So many hand-over-your-mouth moments under and on top of trains, hitting the bonnets of cars, down the barrel of guns at children, in Hank's eyes, in RVs and in the aftermath of bombs. But the second half of season five – although that too had a couple of less than exciting episodes following the straight to the point punch of 'Bloody Money' – has been especially satisfying. 'To'hajiilee', with its brilliantly off-kilter ending right in the heat of action, 'Ozymandias' and 'Granite Slate' were all masterfully delivered. So what happens now? What does 'Felina' hold? Why call an episode 'Felina' anyway? Vince Gilligan has spoken about a conclusive ending and about the lack of redemption. There will be no black screen.
Where we left him (and seriously, for the last time, don't read ahead if you're not up to date) Walt was at a bar in New Hampshire, completely resigned. His son rejected him. Skylar is to an extent off the hook thanks to Walt's warped ingenuity. The bulk of his money is gone, although there's still a large amount left, but it, like Walt, is in limbo. The cash is pointless considering he can't get it anywhere. Saul has left. Jesse is being tortured physically and psychologically, locked in a purgatory of cooking meth with the threat of the murder of the kid propelling him. The true psychopaths of the series, Todd and his uncles, are now reigning supreme. Lydia (Cat from Lip Service!!! Maybe that's the Felina reference? Lolz.) is ultimately calling the shots, in a dangerous position as Todd's obsession. And then, channel surfing, the Gray Matter twosome come on screen, Walt's original nemesis duo, the people who he feels in a roundabout way took everything from him before he even had it, the Sliding Doors version of his and Skylar's life. There they are, taunting his existence and flaunting their riches. Walt was finished after the phone call to Walter Jr./Flynn. He called the DEA, effectively handing himself in, ordered a drink like a death row juice and waited. Until he saw them. Then he was gone.
Up to that point, logic would dictate that Walt, still angry at Todd and his uncles' gang, was about to head off and confront them in what would probably end in a massive shootout with some kind of opportunity to save Jesse. Maybe he would rescue Jesse. Maybe both would be caught and forced to cook forever more a punishment worse than death. Maybe Walt would free Jesse and take the ricin. Walt has been dying the whole time anyway, and death would in fact be a sort of redemption. Or maybe not. Maybe when he jumped off his bar stool he was going to settle the original score with Gray Matter.
Gretchen and Elliott Schwartz are the root of Walt's dissatisfaction. In them he sees his parallel life, the riches he could have had, the respect and name-recognition he thinks he deserves so much that it drove him to dispense with logic, fairness, any kind of moral code, safety, and common sense to go from Mr. Chips to Scarface.
We'll know soon what happens, but until then, if you're up to date, (and if you aren't then you really shouldn't have read this post!) here are some interesting lead-up-to-the-finale articles.
