City reject Tevez enquiry
Sky Sports sources understand Manchester City have rejected an enquiry from West Ham to take Carlos Tevez on loan.
By Pete O'Rourke - Follow me: @skysportspeteo
Last Updated: 30/09/11 5:32pm
Sky Sports sources understand Manchester City have rejected an enquiry from West Ham to take Carlos Tevez on loan.
Tevez's future at City is shrouded in doubt following his bust-up with Roberto Mancini during the midweek defeat to Bayern Munich.
The Argentine ace has been suspended for two weeks by City after allegedly refusing to play against Bayern in the Champions League.
City boss Mancini revealed following the game that the Argentina international had refused to come off the bench during the second half.
Mancini claimed Tevez was 'finished' at City with the player then denying that he had snubbed the instruction to leave his place on the bench.
A number of clubs have been linked with a move for Tevez in the wake of the incident with officials at West Ham believed to have sounded out City about a shock loan switch back to East London.
Tevez is a big hero at West Ham, where he spent the 2006-07 season, helping them stay up by scoring the winning goal at Manchester United on the final day of the campaign.
City officials have declined West Ham's enquiry as they are not prepared to sanction any move while the South American is under internal investigation.

Stanton Park
Swindon, England
Stanton Park Swindon Reviews
651 reviews
Stanton Park Dec 05, 2010
Stanton country park is on the outskirts of Swindon, near the enormous Honda
You would not necessarily expect to find a lovely country park near an enormous
Honda plant, but the park is attractive and a lovely place for a short walk.
There is a lake, a ranger centre (complete with an interesting display featuring
large model mushrooms and a number of fake snails!) and some nice paths through
the wood.
There is generous parking in the country park car park, but it might be worth
seeing if there is room to park in the grounds of the Stanton House Hotel. I've
been there for a hot chocolate, which was lovely, and there are nice bars and
lounges; in a wintery England, close availability of post walk tea and coffee is
a good thing to have! It also has a reputation as being one of the best sushi
restaurants in the UK, but I've never eaten there, and has a specialty Japanese
food shop.

A novel about boarding school, hardcore Scrabble fanatics, and fracking - a new kind of environmental novel by a spokesman and chief strategist for Common Cause.The Fracking King follows Winston Crwth - a boarding-school kid, loner, and Scrabble prodigy - who becomes an unlikely hero in the fight to stop fracking in Pennsylvania. Truth is a rare commodity in politics, and the idea of "winning" a debate as cleanly and simply as you'd win a Scrabble game can seem impossible. But with the truth on his side, a jar of toxic "frackwater", and the belief that he can win a Scrabble tournament whose first prize is a meeting with Governor Linda King LaRue, Winston creates a moment of devastating truth for her and for the people who want to frack the state.
For all its thoughtful environmental concerns, The Fracking King is also a hopeful audiobook about the power of believing in yourself and pursuing your own particular genius. Winston's Scrabble prowess has its freakish side, but it also makes him genuinely heroic, and his lexical predicaments are funny, shocking, dirty, and sometimes mind-boggling. This is the rare, satisfying debut that's as playful as it is profound.

"How exactly does a ONE-star review happen already?"
How is it anyway possible to give a ONE star review for an audiobook that just CAME OUT 3 HOURS ago??? The answer? Its' not.
Audible needss to fix this system. Once again, here is another book that gets low reviews within just HOURS of release. THere is no one on the planet that can truly give a complete, fair, knowledgeable review in that amount of time!
It is unfair to the other buyers, who many like myself, depend on the reviews of others before using precious credits on a audiobook! IT is also unfair to the publishers, writer, etc.
Plus who would BUY an audiobook period when they already know that is only worthy of one star??? Kinda fishy if you ask me...
Note - In order to support what I've said above, I will edit and give FULL review after I finish the novel...but otherwise this rating system is severly flawed (as are the people who don't take it seriously)
"Not worth reading "
I did not like this book at all. It made no sense to me. I would like a refund.

Remember how I said I'd body clipped Danny? I meant that literally. I clipped his body. The top of his head and his ears? Not so much. He was shiny and sleek all the way up his neck and then… poof! A forest of fuzz stood just south of his ears and encircled his bridle path. When I rode him it was like staring at the back of a coal black Easter bunny.
You can't quite comprehend the entire Easter bunny effect in this photo, but trust me, there's a hatful of hair there.
Why was my clip job so crummy? Because Danny came to me fully accessorized with passive-aggressive tactics. One, for example, is telescoping his swan-like neck until his head is beyond the reach of the human hand, especially a hand holding a set of clippers. Since my right arm is weak and lacks the full range of motion, I had no choice but to stop clipping, and that left Danny wearing a fuzz bonnet. I'm sure he was delighted with his sense of victory.
Honestly, the clipping episode didn't surprise me. Soon after I bought Danny, his previous owner called and apologized in advance for his "pushy ground manners." I'm not sure what dire doings Danny did at his other home, but with me his bad manners haven't amounted to much. Sure, sometimes he'll plant his feet on the way to the wash rack (he's not big on baths) or shuffle around at the hitching post as if he's auditioning for the equine version of Dancing with the Stars. But none of these demonstrations impress me much. After all, I also own Wally, who envisions himself as the master of bullying and intimidation.
So needless to say, Danny may have temporarily won the clipping battle, but he wasn't going to win the war. I called my sister, Jill, and said I needed her assistance.
"Danny is using all 16-plus hands of his height to his advantage," I said. "You need to help me explain to him that hair hats are so last season and that he really doesn't want to traipse around town looking like a fashion misfit.
Always up for a challenge, and being a great sister as well, she drove over in a few minutes. I had the extension cord plugged in and the clippers ready by the time she arrived. Danny was going to lose his hair hat, whether he wanted to or not.
Just as I expected, as soon as Danny realized that he was outwitted and outmatched, he gave up. Though I had a twitch on stand-by and a stud chain at the ready, all it took was a second person to hold him firmly so I could hop up on the step-stool. With Jill assuming a no-nonsense stance, and me (and the clippers) now in the same stratosphere, Danny had two choices: Push the issue and start a rodeo or stand still and behave. It took him about three seconds to decide.
Danny met his match once my sister arrived and the step-stool was put into service.
The anti-climactic resolution could be because somewhere, back in his early training, he was taught that it's far, far better to simply let the humans do their thing. Or he could be so lazy that he figured it wasn't worth the energy to put up a fight. Then again, maybe his underlying sweet disposition just wouldn't allow him to be nasty. Regardless, there's one less horse wearing a hair hat these days.

Exclusively from Audible
When John Durbeyfield discovers a family connection to the ancient Norman family, the D'Urbervilles, the fate of daughter Tess is transformed.
Sent by her ambitious parents to visit her wealthy D'Urberville cousins, Tess attracts the attention of the unscrupulous Alec. Seduced and discarded by him and alone in the world, she finds work as a milkmaid and the love of Angel Clare. Yet his love cannot accept the truth about Tess's past.
Considered Hardy's masterwork it presents a major departure from conventional Victorian fiction, causing controversy and mixed reviews on first publication due to it challenging Victorian sexual morals. The work was subtitled 'A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented' as Hardy felt that its heroine was a virtuous victim of a rigid Victorian moral code.
Hardy considered it his finest book and due to his enlightened and forward thinking, the story has captivated audiences since it was first released.
Thomas Hardy was an English writer and poet in the Romantic era who was greatly influenced by Charles Dickens and William Wordsworth.
Narrator Biography
Having started his career as a leading child actor, Peter Firth received a Tony Award nomination for his performance in Peter Shaffer's play Equus (1973) at only 21. He later starred with Richard Burton in its film adaption earning him a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor and an Academy Award nomination. His other film work has included roles in Pearl Harbor (2001) and The Greatest Game Ever Played (2005). He is best known for his role as Sir Harry Pearce in the BBC show Spooks (2002-2011) appearing in every episode of the show's 10 series. Recent roles have included Jacob Marley in the BBC's Dickensian series (2015) and Ernest Augustus in ITV's drama series Victoria (2016). He has narrated several audiobooks and starred in Audible's multicast drama Amok.

"Highly recommended!"
After having read and adored Tess of the D'Urbervilles last year, I thought this audiobook did Hardy's novel justice. HIs rich descriptions of Wessex and his compassionate character portraits are just as alive and vivid in an audiobook format as they were for me when I first read this book.
"Wonderful imagery"
I first read Tess many years ago as a teenager and didn't think much of it. Having revisiting through this audiobook I am astounded at how much I missed! This is one of those reads which benefit from a few years of life experience. Wonderfully read, atmospheric and colourful.
The description of milking: a real feast for the senses. Brought the era to life and the imagery is superb.
Well read and very consistent... Believable voices and accents. I am local to this area and found the dialect very believable.
It was very easy to see things through the eyes of the characters and to empathise with them, even given the very different attitudes of the time.
Thomas Hardy at his best....Highly recommended.
A wonderful story that is read beautifully in this audiobook. Peter Firth uses a wide range of voices and accents for the different characters which really brings them to life.
"An all time favourite"
I have always loved this book and it is read so faithfully here. Peter Firth reads it so clearly and brings out the beauty of the language
"Peter Firth's narration was excellent."
Fabulous Hardy novel enriched by the voice and skills of Peter Firth. Go buy it.
I've read the book (more than once), I've seen the film, but the story of Tess is always spellbinding, and this audio version is excellent. Peter Firth reads it beautifully; his rustic accents are quite convincing, although he does occasionally lapse into 'Oirish'. Highly recommended.
"Great way to know the classics"
Old text sometimes makes it difficult to get into the classics - this is the way to do that ... Hooked ❤ forever
"An excellent audio reading of this book"
Peter Firth read this book beautifully. I can't wait to read more Thomas Hardy novels.
"Wonderful reading"
A few glitches on the recording levels. But apart from that this is superbly read.
"Peter Firth gets this book"
Peter Firth played Angel Clare in Polanski's film version of this novel. His reading demonstrates great affection for Hardy's characters, and an understanding of the many nuances of the story. Don't worry if it seems slow to begin with, if you let the plot unfold, there is plenty of excitement and tragedy in store. Originally published as a serial, each phase builds up to its own climax, which makes for pleasant and interesting listening. Definitely not a "boring 19th century novel."
A heartbreaking story possesses both the clarity of rural life and the confusion of the epic struggles of a human heart. Tess and Angel Clare are so beautifully realized that the frustration one feels with them becomes all-too-real. The narration of this version, by Peter Firth, is among the best in the audible.com catalog that I've encountered so far. Tess is a book to read and re-read with your ears, eyes, mind, and heart.
"Heartbreakingly beautiful"
I nearly gave up on this halfway through. While Peter Firth does a good job with the characters, I found his reading too halting, with so many pauses that the language did not flow, and I had trouble connecting the sentences. This is not usually a problem in listening to Hardy. I switched over to Davina Porter's narration and was riveted for the second half of the book. I don't think this was entirely due to Peter Firth's narration. I think the first half of the book (prior to Tess's marriage) is overlong and repetitive. My advice is to stick with it; the rest of the book is more than worth it!
What a skilled and complex rendering of a good woman victimized by men's response to her beauty, and the double standard of sexual mores. And what an evocative and intense description of the love between two people and the very human inability to transcend judgment and to forgive those we love. This is such a beautiful book, with Hardy's exquisite prose and descriptive skills. I highly recommend Davina Porter's narration. Her voicing of Tess is so simple, yet so infused with feeling, and it brought me to tears more than once.
"Classic story"
Gripping story of life in by gone days. The heroine is beautiful and her beauty is a negative. Hardy captures eternal human nature in his writing, painting a vivid picture of love, lust, jealousy and fidelity.
Not possible
"Ripples of either holding or releasing a grudge"
Well written and artistically read, this book illustrates in story form the ever-enlarging circles of refusing to forgive a wrong. The beautiful contrast is seen in Tess.
"A wonderful classic!"
I had read this in high school, and, even though I couldn't remember the plot, always remembered it as a story I liked it. This audible version was delightful and I truly enjoyed my listen.
"Not for the romantically faint of heart"
Beautifully written but so I just is the author toward his heroine. Why did it have to be so??
"Tragically Unbelievable"
The writing is excellent and Peter Firth is perfect. It certainly was a depressing book and Hardy only shows a slight ray of hope for happiness. I found the ending unbelievable and felt a more natural ending would have made the story better. I wanted something for the characters that Hardy never delivered on although perhaps that elevates the book. I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys nineteenth-century English literature.
"Loved it."
I felt bad for poor tess, punished for being naive and so I'll prepared for life yet made to endure such a hard one.
Spent many hours commuting yelling at this book! Excellent narration! Unexpected story! What an interesting window into another time!

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- A manhunt is underway in Ohio for a suspect in the shooting deaths of four people including a 7-year-old boy.
Warrants have been issued for 23-year-old Arron Lawson for three counts of murder and one count of aggravated murder.
Lawrence County sheriff's deputies found the bodies of three adults inside a house trailer Wednesday evening. While at the scene, they were told that a 7-year-old boy also lived there and had not been seen.
Authorities issued a missing child alert and spent hours searching for Devin Holston only to find the child dead inside the same house trailer, his body apparently hidden.
Lawrence County Sheriff Jeffery Lawless says a fourth adult who came upon the crime scene after work was stabbed there and fled to seek help.

What Is Hormone Replacement Therapy?
Hormone Replacement Therapy Denver
At Exquisite we offer Hormone Replacement Therapy for our clients.
What are bio-identical hormones?
These are hormones that are biologically identical to the hormones your body makes. Estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone are made in the ovaries and adrenal glands in women; testosterone and estrogen come from the testes and adrenal glands in men.
These hormones have the same effect on your body as the ones you produce yourself.
It is felt by many physicians that bioidentical hormones are safer than synthetic hormones for hormone replacement.
What are hormone pellets?
Bioidentical hormone pellets are concentrated hormones, either estradiol or testosterone, pressed into a small cylinder slightly larger than a grain of rice. These pellets are placed under the skin to deliver consistent physiologic levels of hormones into the body.
Why use hormone pellets?
The pellets deliver consistent levels of hormones for three to five months in women, and four to six months in men. Studies have shown that, when compared to conventional hormone replacement, pellets are superior in the relief of menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes , mood swings, poor sleep, and concentration.
Pellets have also shown to improve bone density, libido, and muscle mass.
The pellets provide a more constant level of hormones in the blood and are very convenient when compared to creams, patches, gels, and even testosterone shots for men. The pellets only need to be inserted two to four times per year, as opposed to daily or weekly use of other forms of hormone replacement therapy.
Pellets do not increase the risk of blood clots, cardiac disease, or breast cancer as can be seen with oral or synthetic hormones.
Benefits of Bio-identical hormone replacement:
Despite what you may have heard, the BENEFITS of hormone replacement outweigh the risks for almost everyone.
Bioidentical hormone replacement involves giving your body additional hormones when your natural levels are low. Estrogen is administered in the form of Estradiol, Progesterone and testosterone if you are a female, and testosterone if you are a male.
The following is a list of benefits you will experience:
• Relief of Menopausal symptoms
• Protection against osteoporosis by raising bone density
• Decreased risk of breast and uterine cancer
• Decreased risk of colon cancer
• Increased muscle mass and lower fat percentages
• Increased energy and stamina
• Improved memory
• Improved mood; less anxiety and depression
• Improved sex drive and performance
• Enhanced erectile function and ability
• Prostate protection
• Cardio protective; improves lipid profile
How are pellets inserted?
The pellets are inserted in the upper buttocks, through a small incision, after a local anesthetic has been administered to thoroughly numb the area. The procedure only takes a few minutes in the office. You will be able to resume most of your regular daily activities within a few days.
Vigorous activity should be avoided for about 48 hours in women and five to seven days in men.
What are possible complications?
Complications are rare however, this is a minor surgical procedure and an incision is made, therefore there is always the risk of pain, bleeding, and infection as well as extraction of the pellets.
There will most likely be bruising in the area.
How long to the pellets last?
After the pellets are inserted, some people will begin to feel better within a few days but, it might take up to a week or two for some people to notice a difference. The effects of the pellets last, three to five months in women, and four to six months in men.
Your blood will be drawn a few times during the first treatment in order to monitor your hormone levels. The blood levels are checked prior to insertion, again at approximately four weeks after insertion, and once more prior to the second insertion. This will ensure that hormone levels don't get too high and will help determine YOUR correct dosage.
Are there side effects from hormone pellet insertion?
Some people might experience mild transient side effects with estrogen replacement, such as:
• Breast tenderness
• Water weight gain
• Headaches
• Women with a uterus might experience vaginal bleeding
Women with a uterus must also be on progesterone along with the estrogen. This is prescribed separately. Without the progesterone, a woman could develop endometrial (uterine lining) cancer.
Side effects from the testosterone may cause acne or increased facial/body hair growth. This is fully reversible by lowering the testosterone dosage.
To see more about testosterone in women, check out Rebecca Glasor's "Testosterone Therapy in Women: Myths & Misconceptions" in Maturitas 74 (2013) 230-234.
Sclerotherapy effectively treats varicose and spider veins. It's often considered the treatment of choice for small varicose veins. Sclerotherapy involves injecting a solution directly into the vein. The sclerotherapy solution causes the vein to scar and collapse, forcing blood to reroute through healthier veins. The collapsed vein is reabsorbed into local tissue and eventually fades.
After sclerotherapy, treated veins tend to fade within a few weeks, although occasionally it may take up to a month to see the full results. In some instances, several sclerotherapy treatments may be needed.
Sclerotherapy is often done for:
Cosmetic purposes — to improve the appearance of varicose and spider veins
The procedure also can improve related symptoms such as:
- Aching
- Swelling
- Burning
- Night cramps
If you're pregnant, doctors recommend waiting until after your delivery to have sclerotherapy done.
Laser Hair Removal
If you're not happy with shaving, tweezing, or waxing to remove unwanted hair, laser hair removal may be an option worth considering.
Laser hair removal is one of the most commonly done cosmetic procedures in the U.S. It beams highly concentrated light into hair follicles; Pigment in the follicles absorbs the light and thus destroys the hair.
The Benefits of Laser Hair Removal include, but are not limited to the following:
- Lasers are useful for removing unwanted hair from the face, leg, arm, underarm, bikini line, and other areas.
- Lasers can selectively target dark, coarse hairs while leaving the surrounding skin undamaged.
- Each pulse of the laser takes a fraction of a second and can treat many hairs at the same time. The laser can treat an area approximately the size of a quarter every second. Small areas such as the upper lip can be treated in less than a minute, and large areas, such as the back or legs, may take up to an hour.
- Ninety percent of patients have permanent hair loss after an average of three to five sessions.
Laser hair removal is more than just "zapping" unwanted hair. It is a medical procedure that requires training to perform and carries potential risks. Before receiving laser hair removal, you should thoroughly check the credentials of the doctor or technician performing the procedure.
If you are planning on undergoing laser hair removal, you should limit tweezing/plucking, waxing, and electrolysis for six weeks before treatment. That's because the laser targets the hairs' roots, which are temporarily removed by waxing or tweezing/plucking.
You should also avoid sun exposure for six weeks before and after treatment. Sun exposure makes laser hair removal less effective and makes complications after treatment more likely.
Know what to expect… the following are all things you can expect to experience:
- Just before the procedure, your hair that will be undergoing treatment will be trimmed to a few millimeters above the skin surface. The laser equipment will be adjusted according to the color, thickness, and location of your hair being treated as well as your skin color.
- Depending on the laser or light source used, you and the technician will need to wear appropriate eye protection. It will also be necessary to protect the outer layers of your skin with a cold gel or special cooling device. This will help the laser light penetrate the skin.
- Next, the technician will give a pulse of light to the treatment area and watch the area for several minutes to make sure the best settings were used and to check for bad reactions.
- When the procedure is completed, you may be given ice packs, anti-inflammatory creams or lotions, or cold water to ease any discomfort. You may schedule your next treatment four to six weeks later. You'll get treatments until hair stops growing.
Laser Toenail Fungus Treatment
Nail fungus – sometimes referred to as fungal nail infections, or onychomycosis – is a condition that occurs when a microscopic fungus enters either a fingernail of toenail. Fungal nail infections occur more often in toenails than in fingernails and can affect anyone. For those with diabetes or weakened immune systems, fungal infections can present serious risks.
What causes nail fungus?
There are several causes of nail infections, including dermatophyte fungi (tinea unguium), yeasts such as candida albicans, and non-dermaphyte molds. Fungi develop rapidly due to many factors: humiditiy, heat, trauma, diabetes mellitus, and underling tinea pedis (or athlete's foot). Usually, nail fungus occurs when fungus enter the nail through small trauma (cut of break) in the nail, Nail fungus can be spread from person to person, and it can be difficult to determine exactly where or how a fungal infections is acquired. Toenail infections can be more difficult to treat than fingernails because toenails grow much more slowly. In addition, the wamr and damp environment of a shoe or boot can encourage fungal growth. If the infection is visible, nails are thick and discolored; sometimes patients site pain in the toes or fingertips.
How Does the Laser Treatment Work?
When undergoing laser toenail fungus treatment, a medical professional will directly apply a focused light source onto the toe that is infected. The treatment will target the fungal infection in the toenail and the area below the toenail (call the toenail matrix). The laser treatment destroys the fungal infection; there is not too much pain involved since the nail is comprised of dead cells. Only living fungus is targeted by the laser.
In addition to the laser treatment itself, other lifestyle changes are necessary in order to prevent the growth from reforming. We prescribe these during your visit – it usually includes throwing out old shoes or applying a special spray to them, as well as a topical medication for the foot.
What kind of laser is it?
1064nm Nd:YAG (neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet)
The cost and number of visits required is different for every individual based on the severity of the infection. You can come in and consult with our doctor on Friday afternoons, by appointment.

Barry Urged To Stay By Melly
Olof Mellberg has urged Villa to keep hold of Gareth Barry and if you read between the lines Melly is also attempting to remind Gareth that MON has stuck to the promises already made.
We've been through this on the forum, what was Barry promised when he decided to stay when Pompey were interested and O'Neill first joined the club.
England regular, Europe and a club builing towards breaking the top 4 and the Champions League.
Even the most cynical of fans cannot deny those promises have been met.
So many are left wondering why Barry doesn't give us that 'extra' season to see what happens before deciding he wants to sit on the bench of another club and gain the odd Champions League run out.
On Wednesday we all know about the 'Deadline' statement, yet it appears Barry and his agent despite agreeing initially to it, still want Liverpool to have more time.
Liverpool, despite a few unsourced reports in the press, have stayed remarkably quiet of late - to their credit this time.
After the barrage Liverpool have taken over their behaviour during this stance, it's interesting to see that the few unsourced reports about the 15 min late bid etc (furiously denied by the club and never officially commented on by Liverpool) have enough of an air of 'journalistic licence' to create a new story about them to give you doubt that Liverpool were to blame on that score.
What it all means, even though I think we accept Liverpool have been in enough contact with the agent to get round the deadline, that the buck squarely passes to Gareth Barry's shoulders now.
It is Barry who wants Liverpool to have more time - it's not Liverpool asking for more time, they have stuck to the deadline agreement made with O'Neill.
Is this Liverpool's attempt to save some face?
Is this also, the first step of two where Barry is forced to officially ask for a transfer? I can't see Martin O'Neill letting Liverpool come in for him again in a fortnight's time without saying I'll not accept unless you specifically ask me to and waive your 10% share.
If Barry wanted Liverpool to have more time, he should have been man enough to break the deadline agreement with a written transfer request. It's possible he has done to be honest, but if he has I find it surprising it hasn't been reported by the club.
Anyway, enough of my ramblings, Mellberg agrees with most fans in the intimation that a move to Liverpool given the squad rotation may not make his career as he hopes, but in fact break it.
Will an unloved (Liverpool fans admit Rafa isn't into man management so won't hold hands), hardly playing Gareth Barry be able to keep the form of last season and keep up his England form, or will we see the Gareth Barry form that had John Gregory say 'he needs to get his shorts dirty more often' or words to that effect.
I know what I'd put money on, and Gareth would do well to consider whether he wants 'squad' medals simply because he's on the list or whether he'd feel better earning what he wins.
'He has done really well for quite a few seasons now so he is an important and good player so it is always important, especially at this stage, for Villa to keep their best players.
"Well I don`t really know what has happened, I have tried to follow it on the website so he was obviously very close to a move to Liverpool.
"It is difficult for me to know his feelings and we will see where Villa are going as well.
"They had a good season last season and hopefully they can build on that and be challenging up there and if he will be part of that, obviously that will be good for him and Villa.'
Mellberg also doesn't believe that the bridges have been burnt too far for Barry to be an integral member of the team should his wanted move not come off.
"I don`t think it is a problem in that sense, he is a professional and well liked in the dressing room, and you know by the fans and the people in and around the club as well."
Question is Melly 'is he?' after being the impetus for breaking the deadline agreement? We know O'Neill will give players second chances, but surely this would count as a third chance and we all know what happened to Gobby Berger on his 3rd strike.

Aussie Declines on Concern U.S. Budget Talks Stall; Kiwi Gains
Australia's dollar fell against most of its 16 major counterparts as U.S. lawmakers prepared to resume talks on how to avoid spending cuts and tax increases that could tip the world's biggest economy into recession.
The Aussie was little changed against the greenback and New Zealand's dollar snapped eight days of losses after Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner said he will take "extraordinary measures" to postpone a U.S. default into early 2013 while President Barack Obama and Congress work out a deficit-reduction deal. Data on Dec. 31 may signal a pickup in China's economy.
"They're really responding to broader market sentiment, specifically you're looking at these fiscal-cliff headlines," Eric Viloria, senior currency strategist for Gain Capital Group LLC in New York, said in a telephone interview. "That's really the driver here for most of the currencies."
The Australian dollar was little changed at $1.0377 in New York. The Aussie bought 89.32 yen from 88.87 yesterday.
New Zealand's dollar gained 0.1 percent to 82.09 U.S. cents. It rose 0.6 percent to 70.66 yen.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said a resolution to the budget dispute before Jan. 1 appears unlikely because Republicans won't cooperate, pushing the U.S. closer to more than $600 billion in automatic tax increases and spending cuts set to begin in January.
The purchasing manager's index of Chinese manufacturing by HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics may rise to 50.9 in December from 50.5 the previous month, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News before the data due on Dec. 31. A separate, government-backed index of nonmanufacturing due on Jan. 1 will show an increase to 51 this month from 50.6 in November, economists estimate.
China is Australia's biggest trading partner and New Zealand's second-largest export market.

She was 40 plus when she lost her battle against pancreatic cancer and just a few weeks later her son Sanjay Dutt's debut film Rocky was released.
Her death was truly shocking for the industry, but even today people remember her outstanding performance in Mother India. Nargis was a member of Rajya Sabha.
After her death, her husband Sunil Dutt devoted his entire life to assist cancer patients.

Defender on his way
23 year old Richard Keogh is to join the Sky Blues this week after rejecting a two year deal from Carlisle.
He is an attacking right back who can also play in the centre of defence.
As Keogh is under 24 a transfer fee will be involved and the clubs are negotiating a deal.
He was voted Carlisle United's Players' Player of the year last season.
Brunton Park boss Greg Abbott was quoted recently as saying: "We made a good offer to Richard and we wanted him to stay, but we felt that he had probably made his mind up the longer this went on.
"We've been working away behind the scenes just in case this was the final decision to make sure that we were ready to react.
We're in a position to do that, so all we can say now is that he has been fantastic for us and that we wish him all the best."
A number of League One clubs had been linked with Keogh but Abbott had felt the full-back would be doing himself a diservice by not taking a step up where he to leave Cumbria.

Many animals, including humans, acquire information through social learning. Although such information can be acquired easily, its potential unreliability means it should not be used indiscriminately. Cultural 'transmission biases' may allow individuals to weigh their reliance on social information according to a model's characteristics. In one of the first studies to juxtapose two model-based biases, we investigated whether the age and knowledge state of a model affected the fidelity of children's copying. Eighty-five 5-year-old children watched a video demonstration of either an adult or child, who had professed either knowledge or ignorance regarding a tool-use task, extracting a reward from that task using both causally relevant and irrelevant actions. Relevant actions were imitated faithfully by children regardless of the model's characteristics, but children who observed an adult reproduced more irrelevant actions than those who observed a child. The professed knowledge state of the model showed a weaker effect on imitation of irrelevant actions. Overall, children favored the use of a 'copy adults' bias over a 'copy task-knowledgeable individual' bias, even though the latter could potentially have provided more reliable information. The use of such social learning strategies has significant implications for understanding the phenomenon of imitation of irrelevant actions (overimitation), instances of maladaptive information cascades, and cumulative culture.

It was December 2002. Sodomy laws remained on the books in 14 states. No state or jurisdiction in the country had yet legalized same-sex marriage ("marriage equality" was not a term in popular use). Congress had yet to pass a single piece of pro-gay legislation. The Democratic Party took gay money and votes but mostly paid lip service to our concerns. Barack Obama was a member of the Illinois state Senate. President George W. Bush was in his first term and the country was still reeling from the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Bush would later make opposition to gay rights a cornerstone of his re-election campaign, pushing for ballot measures on marriage in key battleground states and even using his State of the Union address to call for a federal constitutional amendment banning recognition of our relationships.
What a difference a decade makes.
Ten years after joining the Blade, I have been privileged to occupy a front-row seat to some of the most significant and historic events the movement has seen. Make no mistake that the election of Barack Obama marked the turning point in this quest for equality. Without his (fierce) advocacy, many of the landmark achievements of the past four years would not have been possible. But the tide began to turn before Obama's arrival on the national political scene. And it began in 2003 with the Supreme Court decision in Lawrence v. Texas, which overturned sodomy laws in that state and 13 others, reversing a devastating 1986 ruling in Bowers v. Hardwick that upheld a similar law in Georgia.
Justice Anthony Kennedy, still considered the court's swing vote, wrote the unforgettable majority opinion: "The petitioners [Lawrence and Garner] are entitled to respect for their private lives. The State cannot demean their existence or control their destiny by making their private sexual conduct a crime."
Finally, after decades of struggle, the mere fact of being gay could no longer be considered criminal.
Kennedy noted that the Lawrence case "does not involve whether the government must give formal recognition to any relationship that homosexual persons seek to enter." That, however, has finally changed as the high court this year agreed to hear two such cases on the Defense of Marriage Act and California's Prop 8. In 10 short years, we've gone from fighting over private sex acts to impending Supreme Court rulings on marriage equality.
That ruling helped to trigger a wave of fast-moving change. Just a year later, in 2004, Massachusetts became the first state to legalize same-sex marriage. And the good news keeps coming. From Obama's victory in 2008 to Congress passing its first LGBT rights bill — an expansion of the federal hate crimes law — to repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell."
There have been so many highlights during my 10 years at the Blade, but one moment that has always stayed with me occurred in June 2009 at President Obama's first Pride Month reception in the White House. Obama, flanked by first lady Michelle Obama, said, "Welcome to your house." It was such a simple gesture, yet they were words that none of us had ever heard before. And the president and first lady stayed to mingle, chat and pose for photos as a DJ spun Madonna tunes in the East Wing. A joyous and surreal moment after so many bleak years under Bush.
It hasn't been all cocktails and dance divas, though.
I've edited and written countless stories over the past decade and two have haunted me. We profiled a Baltimore gay couple in their 30s, both public school teachers. One was diagnosed with cancer and died within months. He'd been estranged from his family over his sexual orientation and had a will and other legal documents in place at his death. The family sued to have their son's body exhumed and moved to the family plot in Tennessee — and they won. The surviving partner finally prevailed on appeal but lost everything in the process of an expensive legal battle to simply keep his partner in the ground.
In another case, the Blade exposed the fact that four teens shot on a Newark, N.J., playground were gay. Three of them died. The mainstream media refused to report the basic fact that this was a hate crime motivated by the victims' sexual orientation.
It's been a whirlwind and unforgettable decade, from interviewing newsmakers and celebrities to chronicling historic civil rights advances to mourning crime victims to fighting with Bill O'Reilly over the evils of Scientology and outing closet cases like Shepard Smith.
As we celebrate our 2012 Election Day victories, we look forward to a time when true equality comes to all 50 states and to countries around the world. We're not there yet and, so, keep reading.

What Does Influence Mean To You?Posted: September 15, 2010 | Author: klout | Filed under: measuring influence, social media | Tags: influence, Klout, social currency, Twitter contest |Leave a comment
Influence and social currency – how many times have you come across these buzzwords in your daily digest of blog posts, articles, and tweets? What do these terms mean?
At Klout, we define influence as the ability to drive people to action. On Twitter, "action" might be defined as a reply, retweet, or clicking a link. We believe everyone has influence so Klout aims to help users understand and leverage their influence to earn real rewards through the Klout Perks program. Put another way, we want to help you cash in your social currency for rewards.
But that's enough about our point of view. What do influence and social currency mean to you? How are they similar or different from each other? Klout wants to hear what you think. We're going to hold a Twitter contest where you can voice your opinion and become eligible to win a free Klout t-shirt! Don't worry, this is not meant to be a test of your influence. It's just a fun way for you to get some free swag! Here's how it works:
Tweet about influence or social currency or the relationship between the two and include the hashtag #iKlout (you Klout, we all Klout…) and link back to this page (http://bit.ly/cJJV0u) today. Just make sure your tweet follows these guidelines.
Here's an example:
Influence is the ability to drive action http://bit.ly/cJJV0u #iKlout
1. You are limited to one tweet so that's only 112 characters when you account for the hashtag #iKlout and link back (http://bit.ly/cJJV0u). Feel free to use abbreviations. We're looking for concise memorable responses so you definitely don't have to write a comprehensive definition. Even if you just make one small point or distinction that you think is important, we'd love to hear it. Take Brian Solis (@briansolis) for example, who simply wrote "Influence is not popularity" in this blog post.
2. We understand that some great minds might think alike, but please do not enter someone else's response as your own.
All Twitter users will be able to track the submissions by searching for the #iKlout hashtag. To vote for the entry that you like, simply retweet the message using the official Twitter retweet function. You can vote for as many entries as you want. We will not be counting old school retweets in the contest because there's the risk of double voting, modifying people's original entries, and spamming.
The five people whose entries have the highest number of unique retweet votes will receive free Klout t-shirts in the mail! We will direct message you that you have won. Simply DM us back with your name and mailing address and we'll get you your goods.
That's all folks – just tweet your opinion of influence.

This Future Market Insights report examines the 'Global N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone Market' for the period 2014-2020. The primary objective of the report is to offer updates and invaluable insights on global N-Methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) market. The demand for NMP is expected to register a steady growth during the forecast period 2015?2020.
To understand and assess the opportunities in this market, the report is categorically split under two sections namely: market analysis by geographic regions and the various applications of NMP. The report analyses global N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone market in terms of market value (US$ Mn) and Volume (tons).
The report starts with an overview of the global N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone market. In the same section, FMI covers the NMP market performance in terms of revenue and volume. This section also includes FMI's analysis of key trends, drivers and restraints witnessed in global N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone market. Impact analysis of key growth drivers and restraints based on the weighted average model included in the report better equips and arms client with crystal clear decision making insights.
The subsequent section analyses the market for NMP depending on the geographic regions and presents a forecast for the period 2015?2020. The major regional segments analysed in the report are:
North America
South America
Middle East & Africa
South America
After having covered the region based segments in the above section, the report, in its next section focuses analysis of the market on the basis of end-use applications. The applications covered in the report include:
Petrochemical Processing
Paints & Coatings
Industrial Cleaners
The data points such as market split by applications, regions and qualitative inputs from primary respondents have been incorporated to arrive at apt market estimates. The forecast presented here assesses the total revenue of global N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone market. When developing the forecast of the market, the starting point is sizing the current market, which forms the basis for the forecast of how the market is anticipated to take shape in the near future. Given the characteristics of market, we have triangulated the outcome based on analysis of supply side, demand side and dynamics of market for end use applications. However, quantifying the market across aforementioned segments and regions is more a matter of quantifying expectations and identifying opportunities rather than rationalizing them after the forecast has been completed.
In addition, it is imperative to note that in an ever-fluctuating global economy, we not only conduct forecasts in terms of CAGR, but also analyse the market on the basis of key parameters such as year-on-year (Y-o-Y) growth to understand the predictability of the market and to identify the right opportunities across the global N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone market.
As previously highlighted, the global market for N-Methyl-2-Pyrrolidone is split into various categories based on regions and applications. All these segments or categories have been analysed in terms of basis point share (BPS) to understand individual segments relative contribution to growth. This detailed level of information is important for identification of key trends in global NMP market.

The realistic entrepreneur's guide to venture capital
Optimism is a key to success, but it doesn't necessarily work so well when it comes to VC. Because this is a cottage industry with thousands of players, all with different objectives, it's very easy to keep knocking on doors, just waiting to find the right match. It's also easy to spend a year or more adjusting your business to what each VC asks for ("bring me the broomstick of the wicked witch!" while you could have been out there building a real organization.)
Here are a bunch of conditions that you ought to take seriously before you invest the time and the energy to track down outside money for your great idea:
- Investors like to invest in categories they've already invested in. If your business is so new that it's never been tested before, or is in a category VCs hate, think twice.
- Investors want you to sell out. As soon as possible. For as much as possible. They have no desire to own part of your company forever.
- Investors want to invest in a project that's tested. If you can't make it work in the 'small', why do you think it'll work when it's big?
- Being a little better than the market leader is worthless.
- Investors don't want you to use their money to cover your losses. They want you to build an asset (a patent, an audience, channel relationships) that's actually worth something.
- Investors want someone to run your company who has successfully run a company before.
- Investors want to be able to come to one of your board meetings and still make it home in time for dinner.
- VCs like curves more than they like cliffs.
- There are actually very very few business problems that can be solved with money.
- You will probably have to replace many of your employees if you raise money from someone.
- VCs understand that being the best in the world (#1) is the place with the biggest rewards, so it's unlikely they will settle for any performance (even a profitable one) that puts you in second or third place.
- VCs are very smart and very connected, but they're smart enough to know that their connections and their insights can't fix a broken business.
- Investors are very focused on the company, not you. They're not interested in having you take out your original investment or paying you a large salary as profits go up.
- Business plans are bogus. The act of writing one is critical, but no one is going to read more than three pages of what you write before they make a decision.
- The companies that VCs most want to invest in are the companies that don't need their investment to survive.
[For those keeping track (and I wasn't one of them) this is the #2,000th post since I started this blog a long time ago. Which goes to show you--you can build a really big wall if you start early enough and have enough little bricks].


text: I thought it was Jones as well. Not Davis, Roby, prob not Givens. I can think of two other guys, one was Hill (Darrell?) from the early 2000s who everyone loved but never really played, I think he was a 7th round pick. The other was a french sounding name who did well in pre-season but didn't play. Everyone wanted him to play. Can't remember his name and I think he went to the Saints after us. He was around the mid-2000s.
