WYCOMBE'S survival hopes were left in tatters as they went down to defeat at relegation rivals Walsall.
Second-half goals from Kevan Hurst and George Bowerman did the damage for the Saddlers in a game that Wanderers dared not lose before kick-off.
But lose they did and this crushing loss leaves them five points from safety having played up to three games more than the rest of the bottom five.
With Scunthorpe, Exeter, Yeovil and Chesterfield all winning it leaves Wycombe staring at an immediate return to League Two.
Both Wanderers and Walsall were in woeful form going in to this game.
So it was no surprise for the game to start in tentative fashion with both sets of players terrified of making a mistake in such a crucial game.
A downpour in the Midlands prior to kick-off did little to help the pitch and the flow of the game with Stuart Beavon sending a low shot wide and Gareth Ainsworth seeing a half-volley deflected behind for a corner.
Walsall's main threat came from wideman Jamie Paterson with the 20-year-old cutting inside to fire wide on 22 minutes before forcing Bull into a low saw five minutes later.
If the first-half was dull then the second got off to a barnstorming start.
Saddlers winger Florent Cuvelier produced a superb turn to race into the box with Dave Winfield judged to have hauled him down for a penalty.
Up stepped Nicholls but his tame spot-kick was saved by Bull to the delight of the Wanderers players and supporters.
But that delight was short lived when Walsall took the lead on 62 minutes through an easily avoidable goal.
Hurst was able to pick up a loose ball on the halfway line, race unchallenged towards Wycombe's goal and fire in a long-range drive past the motionless Bull.
It was a frustrating way for Wanderers to concede with no hint of challenge on the Saddlers midfielder and it left Wycombe chasing a game that they had competed well in.
Matt McClure and Anthony McNamee were introduced to try and inspire Blues towards a leveller but it was Walsall who had the spring in their step and looking the more likely to net next.
McClure did come close for Wanderers on 72 minutes when his low snapshot went inches wide of Grof's post but, in reality, the Walsall goalkeeper was beginning to become a spectator in the game.
Wanderers huffed and puffed but did not have the quality to create anything clear-cut against a poor Walsall to salvage a point.
Instead they shipped a second with substitute George Bowerman finishing well with five minutes to play to compound a miserable afternoon for Wycombe.
WALSALL: Grof, Sadler, Butler, Lancashire, Chambers, Grigg (Macken 82), Hurst, Taundry, Paterson (Peterlin 90), Nicholls (Bowerman 62), Cuvelier.
Subs (not used): Beever, Walker.
Booked: None.
WANDERERS: Bull, Foster, Laing, Winfield, Basey, Ainsworth (McNamee 67), Harper, Lewis, Strevens (Grant 73), Whichelow (McClure 55), Beavon.
Subs (not used): Johnson.
Booked: Harper (57 mins), Laing (79 mins).

'Pay no mind that Zubrus was absent from the score sheet in Buffalo's 3-2 comeback victory over the Rangers on Friday night at HSBC Arena. You might as well credit him with nine assists, because every hit he administered — and they came with a relentless fury — rendered New York susceptible to what transpired in the Sabres' twogoal third period.'

What is the correct process? (pics)
so here's my amateur detailing supply kit..
after getting the paint cleaner, glaze, and NU FINISH polish, i dont know what order they are applyed in..
after the clay bar? after the wax?
im stumped, and i dont wanna ruin the finish.
this is also the first time polishing my car, and using the chemicals in the tan bottles, so im confused on how/when to use them..
Dude, get rid of that buffer........
I can give you all the steps you need to polish your car, but your going to get no results from that machine......
Id suggest saving up and getting a PC......
That is what I started with on my car, and now I have stepped up to my rotary and I expanded my detailling business outward around northern ohio.......
You wanna wash your car first, and clay bar the spots that are needed. (I usually clay the whole car just incase)
You will want to use Nu Finish first. Do you have any different cutting pads?
Then use Meguiars #2
Follow up with Meguiars #7
Then wax
1. Wash
2. Clay
3. Nu Finish
4. Meguiars #2
5. Meguiars #7
6. Wax
Look around in this website. Autogeek.net, Detailedimage.com
If you want pictures or suggestions on what polishes I use, you know how to reach me
Thanks a ton, Kyle.
PC 7274? http://www.google.com/products?q=Por...num=1&ct=title
and no, i dont have different cutting pads, what are they?
Different cutting pads are required for different polishes......
Purple Foamed Wool LCC Pads are the most agressive Pad
Yellow LCC Pads are on of the most agressive pad (Most used for compounding)
Orange LCC Pads are mild agressive (Used for medium polishes)
White LCC Pads are used for finish, slight agressive (For light polishes)
Black LCC Pads have no cut (Good for applying glazes, or waxes)
Blue LCC Pads have no cut, and are super soft (Good for appling liquid sealants)
For a PC, you really only need Orange, White, and maybe black pads
For My rotary, the pads completely change. The Rotary can do far more correction than a PC can do.......
I used Menzerna SIP with an Orange Pad
I used Menzerna 106FF with a White Pad
I used Klasse HGS with a Blue Pad
I hand applied my wax
Sorry I had to break the bad news. Detailing is a expensive hobby, ask me how I know. I got a couple grand worth of supplies in my garage. It sucks, but the results are amazing
My sig picture of my car is 2 weeks after I detailed it. From that far away, you can see the different lines in the hood, and the reflections off the building. It's a sweet picture
Thanks again Kyle, i guess i'll just stick with clay barring and waxing by hand until i get the PC orbital and pads
That will help you decide what products you want and pads
Sign up on autopia.org also......learn some tips and methods.........:thumbsup:
subscribed. so get a pc?
To the OP most of the products you have there are probably just OK at best. I suggest next time you go shopping for detailing products do it online. The quality of the products is much better. Sometimes it is only a few more bucks too.
When you are ready just hit us up on this detailing forum and we can help get what you are looking for.
I highly recommend you check out this kit, my whole family has been very happy with it.

Dragon Fire Ceremonies
After much thought, I have decided to close Dragon Fire Ceremonies. Before you go, aww; this is a good thing. Every goal I set for myself and my company has been completed with success. I didn't want to close my business any other way than successfully; so now, time for a new adventure. I still own Dragon Fire Ceremonies, the name and logo will always be mine. I will keep all the wonderful memories collected over the many years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all my past clients that made Dragon Fire Ceremonies what it has been, a company that I will forever be so proud of and can look back on all the memories and smile. To my few last clients, thank you. You are allowing Dragon Fire Ceremonies to end the same way it began; with beautiful, memorable, and unique ceremonies. There are many things I will miss, but I have so much to look forward to upon a new journey.
I want to give Special Thanks to my beautiful mother-in-law for not only accepting her new daugther-in-law, but also loving her. So many years ago you took me under your wing, including me in your company, which allowed me to create Dragon Fire Ceremonies 4 years later and keep it going for 8 wonderful years.
I will never forget all my experiences. I want to give also Special Thanks to Melinda and Chris Fox for being the first couple to choose me for their wedding officiant. I still remember that day, and my wonderful ice breaker that you guys laughed and thanked me for later, "and you guys think your nervous," with the mic still on. I remember everyone including us laughed. It was my very first handfasting I had ever performed. It is memories like these that I will forever keep close to my heart.
It has been an honor to have been of service for 12 years. May whom ever your deity be, keep you safe in the palm of their hands. Many blessings.
Clients that have already scheduled a wedding for the year of 2016 remember you can still reach me at
or via my phone

there are two new movies comin out robotech:thumbsup, and IRON MAN:thumbupwith the song iron man from black sabeth, so let me know if your an iron man fan or a robotech fan. oh and there may be a sequal to transformers
I'm bit of an Iron man fan BUT must admit never heard of 'Robotech' is this a US thing...?
From the Iron man trailers it looks awesome! :eek
Glad to hear their making Robotech into a movie. I saw the show a few times and its pretty cool.:thumbsup
gojirafan, do you have any interest in Boba or Jango Fett costuming?
i hadn't heard about the movie, but that could be pretty cool.
i've never been much of an iron man fan, but the movie does look cool from what i've heard. i'll definitely go see it.
I've never been a big anime fan, but Robotech sounds interesting, I'll have to look into it more.
I was also never an Iron Man kinda guy, but I'm really excited for the movie.
Not only, Robotech, but Voltron is scheduled to make a screen debut in 2010 also.
I wonder if they'll use the lions or the vehicles for Voltron.
i've been thinking about making a boba costume but never got around to it.
I grew up on robotech and voltron. I just hope they do them justice!
Since we're on the subject of anime, has anyone seen Gundam Wing? I used to watch that show every day, I used to have all the Gundam figures (in a box somewhere now). I think that would make a really cool movie, it has a real short plot. It would just have to be done right.
Sepuel to Transformers.....dont tell me galvitron...Sigh. :)
DBZ got old for me - one filler episode after the other... YAWN!
Why did we need to see an episode of Goku learning to drive!?!?!?!?!?!! Or 12 episodes of Gohan powering up!!!
Q: How many DragonBall Z characters does it take to screw in a lightbulb?
A: Just one, but it takes him five episodes to do it!
sorry, had to.
Don't know if any of you saw the newly released picture..
Robotech!? lmao
that's awesome. I remember playing tabletop with that. I actually have a ton of robotech model kits in the basement
After the off-the-scale great animations they did for the robots in Transformers, I'm totally pumped about a Robotech movie. Thanks for the heads up. I'd like someone to make a movie, or better yet an MMORPG based in the Rifts universe. And for the gamers out there, I read that Bioware is working on an interactive game for Lucasarts.
Definitely glad to hear about the Robotech movie. I've been a fan since I was about nine. There's just nothing so inspiring to a young child than daydreams about being the hero, riding a giant transformable robot to the rescue. :) (Still pretty cool two decades later LOL)

Manuel has made it no secret he'd like to see general manager Omar Minaya pick up a big bat for the outfield. Matt Holliday, Jason Bay and even Xavier Nady are probably out of the Mets' reach, so he might have to "settle" for Seattle's Raul Ibañez or Cleveland's Casey Blake. source Newsday
But for those set on Nady one promising sign is that the Pirates are scouting the Mets pitching prospects. If Kunz was available I wonder if he's off the market with Wagner's recent shoulder problems.
Among the players the Pirates reportedly have interest among the teams looking to trade are Cardinals right-hander Anthony Reyes and outfielder Chris Duncan, Tigers first baseman Jeff Larish and outfielder Matt Joyce, Yankees right-hander Ross Ohlendorf, Braves shortstop Brent Lillibridge (who was drafted by the Pirates in 2005) and outfielder Brandon Jones, Rays right-hander Jeff Niemann and a trio of pitchers with the Mets' Class AA Binghamton farm club — left-hander Matt Niese and right-handers Eddie Kunz and Bobby Parnell. source Beaver County Times & Allegheny Times

Detailed Description:
This is a multi-center, prospective registry of patients with intermediate coronary lesions defined as a stenosis of 40-80% by angiography. Approximately 300 patients will be enrolled into the study at sites in the United States and Europe. There will be no follow up beyond hospital discharge in this study. A sub-group of 30 patients will undergo Adenosine MRI. The investigators hypothesize that Intravascular Ultrasound Radiofrequency (IVUS RF) anatomical criteria, such as minimal luminal area, plaque burden and virtual histology plaque type, can predict physiological ischemia by Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR).
|Coronary Artery Disease
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Observational Model: Cohort

Intermediate coronary lesions
Diagnostic device: FFR
Diagnostic device: IVUS RF
At participating centers, FFR and IVUS are standard of care diagnostic procedures for patients with intermediate (40-80% angiographic stenosis by visual estimate). Both modalities were used regularly for such patients whether or not they are participants in this clinical study. In FIRST, the decision to perform percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was left to the discretion of the investigator, and was not dictated by the clinical protocol.
Detailed Description:
Patients undergoing cardiac catheterization must meet clinical inclusion and exclusion criteria and sign an informed consent. At the time of catheterization the patients will be further analyzed for eligibility using angiographic inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients who fulfilled the clinical and angiographic criteria will undergo further imaging evaluation using an IVUS RF catheter (Volcano Therapeutics) and FFR wire (Radi or Volcano). The decision for treatment of any lesion will be at the operator's discretion. For patients enrolled at Washington Hospital Center and do not undergo percutaneous coronary intervention, an assessment with non invasive perfusion adenosine MRI also be performed.
|Ages Eligible for Study:
|18 Years to 75 Years (Adult, Senior)
|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
|Sampling Method:
|Non-Probability Sample
Study Population

- Prior participation in this study or patient is currently enrolled in another investigational use device or drug study that has not reached its primary endpoint. If the patient is enrolled in another study that is not investigational, required visits for that trial must not interfere with the conduct of this trial.
Angiographic Exclusion Criteria:
- Unprotected left main lesion location.
- Ostial lesion
- Angiographic evidence of severe calcification or marked tortuosity of the target vessel that would preclude safe imaging
- Lesion is located within or distal to an arterial or saphenous vein graft.

I use it for my acne. I mix it with a carrier oil and apply all over my face. I cannot say if it really makes my acne better as I also use other acne treatments but it doesn't hurt. Always blend with a carrier oil such as tamanu oil. You could really damage your skin if you use it pure. I like the fact that it is organic. The tee tree helps treat the acne while the lavender reduces inflamation. I recommand to use at night because the smell is really in your face.

Clearfield Progress (Newspaper) - June 4, 1966, Clearfield, Pennsylvania Today's Chuckle The man who can smile when things go wrong has probably just thought of someone he can blame it on.

Penelec, Union Resume Talks Negotiations resumed at Johnstown today in an effort to end a strike at Pennsylvania Electric Company installations in northern and southcentral Pennsylvania. A company spokesman said representatives of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the firm met in the company of a federal mediator. Workers had set up picket lines after negotiations ended Friday night without an agreement. R. L. McClain of Oil City, chief union negotiator, said a strike would be - unofficial but added, "under Three Die In Buddhist Burnings Two Nuns, Monk Kill Selves In South Viet Protest By ROBERT TUCKMAN SAIGON, South Viet Nam (AP) - Two Buddhist nuns and a novice monk burned themselves to death today bringing to nine the number of Buddhist self-immolations to protest South Viet Nam's military government. Meanwhile, the U.S. Air Force and Navy yesterday mounted their biggest raids on North Viet Nam since Sunday, sending hundreds of jet fighter-bombers to pound the north in 86 missions. Two planes were reported lost, bringing to nine the number of American planes reported shot down this' week. On the ground, troops of the elite South Korean Tiger Division took on the Viet Cong in fierce hand-to-hand fighting near the coastal city of Qui Nhon, 270 miles northeast of Saigon. A Korean spokesman said 119 Viet Cong had been killed, but later changed the figure to 70. The Buddhist suicides in widely separated cities came after the militant wing of the divided Buddhist movement threatened to wreck the government's precarious truce with ihelfTISfter weeks of civil strife and violence. The wave of fiery suicides began on Sunday. One nun, Thich (Venerable) Nu Bao Luan, 24, set herself aflame in front of the Buddhist Institute in Saigon. The other, Dicu Ky, 20, died in Nha Trang, 20C miles northeast of Saigon. The novice monk, an unidentified youth between 14 to 15 years old, ended his life in the city of Quang Tri, only 20 miles from the 17th parallel which divides North and South Viet Nam. After the suicide, some 200 persons began to march to the residence of the province representative of the U.S. Agency for International Development but were stopped by Vietnamese soldiers.

The Pentagon acknowledged this today in response to questions, but described the increases as routine revision made because Army volunteer enlistments were less than anticipated. In fact, figures provided by the department showed that it has had to amend each of its monthly manpower requests to the Selective Service for the past 10 months. Three major changes were publicly announced. A fourth, a 5,000-man cutback in the February call, was not disclosed.

About a half-dozen pickets were stationed at the company office on Third Street at Clearfield early today and an equal number at the Shawville generating station. A contract between the company and the union, representing about 1.450 hourly workers, expired May 25 but had been extended until midnight last night while negotiations continued. The union represents locals in a triangular area as far north as Erie, south to Bedford and east to Towanda in Bradford County. Penelec estimated it serves 420,000 customers in the area. Meanwhile, a contract with the Utility Workers Union of America (AFL-CIO), which represents employes in the company's eastern division, expired on May 28 but was extended by written agreement until June 27.

Roddis Jr. today issued a statement assuring the public that the utility intended to maintain normal electric service during By HOWARD BENEDICT AP Aerospace Writer CAPE KENNEDY. Fla. (AP) -Hard luck plagued the Gemini 9 astronauts again today as they abandoned their "angry alligator" satellite and had Eugene A. Cernan's space walk postponed 24 hours until Sunday. The fatigue of the astronauts and excessive use of fuel during a tricky rendezvous with the satellite early today contributed to the latest troubles. "We're pretty well bushed." command pilot Thomas P. Stafford reported after the exhausting chase of the satellite. "It raises a question in my own mind whether and when the EVA (space walk) should be done. Perhaps we should wait until tomorrow morning." The Mission Control Center in Houston, Tex., agreed and put the walk off until Sunday morning. The 2'2-hour walk, longest ever attempted. had been scheduled for 10:30 a.m. today. Ground controllers then made an effort to shake loose the hung-up shroud on the target satellite by firing its control thrusters. That started the satellite bucking and pitching, but it failed to dislodge the jaw-like clamshells of the shroud, which covers the docking collar. Wilh all hope of linking up with the satellite - called an ATDA for augmented target docking adapter - gone, the ground told Stafford and Cernan to fire their thrusters and gradually pull away from it. "There's no further chance thai we can dock," Mission Director William C. Schneider said. The Gemini 9 flight has been jinxed since May 17 when the original Agena target satellite failed lo reach orbit because its Atlas booster failed. Two postponements later, the astronauts finally got off the ground Friday in pursuit of the makeshift ATDA. They caught it in record time-and learned Please Turn to Page 10, Col. 6 No Bumping, Control Tells Pilot ON STRIKE - Members of Local 521 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers are shown in picket line at entrance to Pennsylvania Electric Co. office at Clearfield.

Former Rebel Soldier Killed in Dominican By ROBERT BERRELLEZ SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) - A former rebel soldier was killed Friday night in a brief but sharp gun battle between Dominican police and the armed escort for a former rebel official. The violence came after defeated presidential candidate Juan Bosch said his party would contest some of the results from last Wednesday's election but he avoided any direct reference to voting irregularities. The gun battle took place in front of the home of Hector Ar-isty, former Cabinet minister in the rebel government that was dissolved after the April 1965 revolt. He was in the house when the shooting started but disappeared later. The soldier who was killed in the battle was not identified. Seven other ex-rebel troops and three civilians, one of them a 15-year-old girl, were arrested. The shooting touched off sporadic gunfire in other nearby areas but it quickly died down. National Police Chief Gen. De Jesus Morillo said there were no casualties among the police. Dominican troops from the nearby Ozama fortress in the heart of the city helped police Please Turn to Page 10, Col. 2 By DON MCKEE CAPE KENNEDY, Fla. (AP) - Space pilot Thomas P. Stafford, aloft at last, wanted to bump his spacecraft into a tar-gel satellite to loose a pesky docking-collar cover. "What's with the ATDA?" he asked a Hawaii tracking station, referring to the target vehicle, called an augmented target docking adapter. "I still suggest," Stafford said, "we give it one bump with our docking bar and try to break it loose." Over the U.S. mainland a few minutes later, Stafford and copilot Eugene A. Cernan were told by mission control: "The people at the Cape and at Houston do not believe we can get the shroud separated." The shroud is the shell-like protective covering of the target docking collar. Stafford, who pressed the bumping idea at first, became noncommittal several hours later when asked specifically about the possibility of Cernan's loosing the cover during his walk outside the Gemini 9 capsule. Curwensville Alumni Dinner Reservation Deadline Changed CURWENSVILLE - Mo r e than 300 reservations have been made thus far for the annual Curwensville Alumni Association dinner and dance to be held next Saturday, June 11, here in the high school gymnasium. Although the announced closing for reservations was yesterday, Association President Henry Mayersky says the deadline has been extended to next Wednesday. Guest speaker for this year's dinner is Mendor Brunetti, professor of romance languages at New York University. Mr. Bru-netti's appearance is in keeping with a recent tradition of having a former graduate address the association, Mr. Mayersky said. Other highlights of the program will include reunion celebrations of four classes, including the class of 1916 which will Driver Injured In 2-Car Crash In Ramey Borough Phoebe Campbell, of Elizabeth, N.

State police troopers reported she was driving south on Route 253 when she lost control of her car, ran off on the right berm, and struck a parked automobile belonging to Sherman North, of Ramey. The car was parked in front of the North residence. Damage to the Campbell car was estimated at $400 and damage to the North car at $1,000. An estimated $105 damage was caused in the only other accident reported in the area - a truck - car collision on Route 153 in Lawrence Township at 10:30 a. m. Friday.

An editorial in the official Peking People's Daily showed the purge had swept up the Chinese capital's mayor, Peng Chen, once considered a possible successor to - Mao. Scranton Decision Interpreted as Move To Promote Shafer Some of the dialogue between Stafford and Houston Control: "Hello, Houston. Gemini 9 here." "Roger, Tom. I have some questions from the cape concerning the shroud." "Go ahead. I guess we're experts." Stafford then supplied details of the stubborn shroud, its (wo sides hanging open, he said, like the jaws of an angry alligator. "Okay. understand." said Houston control, "and1 if that thing is open far enough, do you think you could get in lo pull the lanyard on the QD on the umbilical? Over ." "Try again." "Do you think you could pull the. lanyard on the quick disconnect inside the shroud?" "Ahhh . . . Have the cape to talk to you on that."

On Monday the parking meter flower pots which had been cleaned out and the small evergreens removed from them were put back in place, clean and shiny and with fresh plantings. The Community Affairs Committee of the Clearfield Wo man's Club - which last year won a state award for the flower pot project - is again in charge. This year the club was given a much appreciated helping hand from the Mt. Joy-Mt. Zion 4-H Community. The 4-H members cleaned the pots and replanted the petunias. Those who helped with the project are: Charles and Randy Nelson, Douglas Rhone, Howard Kitko. Larry Conklin, Dennis and Teddy Adams, Laura Adams, Susan Taylor, Joan Taylor, Nancy Taylor, Debbie Ogden. Karen O g d e n, Pam Gardner. Iris Gardner, Jim Owens and Ray Deeanum. Also helping were the club leaders, Mr. and Mrs. Don Ogden, Mrs. William Summerville and Miss Donna Adams. Peking announced Friday Peng had been replaced as first secretary of the Peking Central Committee of the Chinese Communist party. The People's Daily provided the accusation against him: "Some leaders of the former Peking municipal party committee were not Marxist-Leninists but revisionists." Those words made it clear that Peng Chen had been fired. It removed any possibility he might have been replaced because of ill health or some other reason. Perhaps most significantly, the editorial warned: "Anyone who opposes Chairman Mao Tze-tung, opposes Mao Tze- king's thoughts, opposes the party central leadership, opposes the proletariat's dictatorship, opposes the Socialist system, whoever that may be, however high may be the position and however old his standing, he will be struck down by the entire party and by the Please Turn to Page 10, Col. 7 Baccalaureate Set At Curwensville High CURWENSVILLE - Baccalaureate for the Curwensville Joint High School Class of 1966 will be held tomorrow at 8:30 p. m. in the high school auditorium.

S. J. Groves and Sons Co. of Minnesota, operator of a flat bed truck - trailer had sought to set aside the verdict reached in tJie U.S. District Court at Pittsburgh. There a jury had ruled in favor of Mr. and Mrs. Omer Liver-good and their son, Roy, and dismissed a counter . action by Grove against Charles Liver-good, another son of Omer, who was driving the auto. Judge J. Cullen Ganey said in the decision Thursday the issues in the case were "clear cut and comprehensive to the ordinary laymen." The crash occurred June 30, 1963 about 5ui miles northeast of Clearfield in Goshen Twp. Ganey said the main dispute was whether the truck "extended over the center line of the highway (Route 879) immediately before the collision and.... whether any part of the passenger car was left of center at the critical time."

Executive summary
Download "Can housing work for workers" (PDF)
1. Homeowners in poverty
The starting-point for this pamphlet is the recognition that contrary to much public and political opinion, owner-occupation is not necessarily a route to personal financial security and stability.
- In 2008/09, 53 per cent of those in poverty were owner-occupiers.
- Around a third of these poor households own their homes outright.
- Nearly a quarter of poor households are buying their homes with a mortgage.
- After housing costs, there are over three million people of working age in owner-occupied housing in poverty. Over two million of these people have mortgages.
This 'squeezed middle' can find that even a modest loss of earnings or a rise in housing costs can lead to serious difficulties. This will be made worse by recent changes in support for unemployed owners. The level of state support for owner-occupiers is often inadequate and it is simply withheld until households reach the point of crisis.
This pamphlet therefore argues that we need to be more critical of the assumption that the continued extension of home ownership is the necessary basis of a sound housing strategy, as there is a large, neglected group of people for whom ownership is problematic. We also need a recalibration of the way we allocate risk in our society, with a return to some of the solidaristic foundations, based on the principles of mutual insurance, which underpinned the post-war welfare system.
The pamphlet takes a fresh look at the relationship between ownership and labour market mobility, considering potential immobility of the owner-occupied sector, and finding that it is often as immobile as social housing. When we have most needed labour market mobility in the UK, for example during recessions, the owner-occupied sector has acted as a serious economic constraint. We saw this in the phenomenon of negative equity in the early 1990s. The combination of a lack of jobs and an inability to move was mutually reinforcing, creating a vicious circle where immobility stifles the labour market and a weak labour market holds back the economic growth needed to fire up the housing market.
We also look at the politics and ideology of housing in Britain. The politics of housing in Britain segregates tenures, assuming that public housing is for the problematic poor, ownership is for the aspiring many, and private rental for a minority in limbo.
In fact many of the problems facing households in these tenures are very similar.
There are signs that the impact of recent developments in the politics of housing will only make the situation worse, with coalition cuts to housing benefit payments set to reinforce segregation and harden the hierarchy of tenures. Many tenants will be forced out of attractive and economically vibrant areas and pushed further to the margins, both socially and spatially.
2. How housing and work interact
The pamphlet sets out an analytical framework to examine the potential barriers to work that can arise with different forms of housing.
Many of the barriers are common to all forms of tenure and are part of a more general failure - the failure of housing policy to join up with labour market policy. There are also specific financial and individual household pressures facing owners. We therefore ask if ownership itself is a source of disadvantage and examine whether these problems exemplify the broader ways housing can act as a barrier to employment opportunities.
We also outline a typology of some features of homeownership and the comparative advantages and disadvantages of ownership in relation to other tenures - ten factors that combine to produce a number of social and economic problems.
Analytically, there is an important distinction to be drawn here between housing as a home and housing as an asset. We also draw a distinction between financial and spatial problems for households. For homeowners in particular there is a set of financial problems associated with the combination of property as both home and asset. Top of the list of financial problems for all households is excessive income stress - a serious problem for private renters as well.
There is another set of spatial problems, having to do with the fact that the owner-occupier's house is a home, with a fixed location (unlike most other assets). These problems reflect the neighbourhood and spatial aspects of housing, and are similar in many respects to the spatial problems associated with much of the poorly planned social housing of the post-war period.
3. The squeezed middle
The pamphlet then looks at some financial problems of home ownership. These difficulties are a source of stress to families and can have a negative impact on the employment opportunities of household members.
An affordability crisis
People's aspirations are changing. In 1975 only 62 per cent of people aspired to own their own home in the following ten years. By 2010 89 per cent saw owner-occupation as the ideal long-term tenure. Yet there is a serious affordability gap, meaning that the pursuit of this aspiration often comes with a heavy price in terms of household finance and wellbeing. This is creating real and new risks for families. For example, prior to 2003, up to 5 per cent of all mortgage holders were repaying only the interest on their loan and lacked an alternative investment plan to pay off the capital. By 2006-08 this had reached 12 per cent.
Opportunity costs of ownership
The pamphlet analyses some of the longer-term risks of ownership for households, beyond immediate income problems which, at their worst, can risk excluding individuals and households from the labour market altogether. There is a clear sense in which ownership can crowd out other opportunities, particularly in the labour market.
We also question the appropriateness of homeownership as a savings strategy and look at the impact that mortgage commitments can have on an individual's ability to make decisions about their employment and development.
Spatial barriers to employment
Families on low incomes may only be able to afford to buy in an area with poor infrastructure and little social capital. This may ultimately threaten the household's income if one of the occupants loses their job and they then struggle to access new job opportunities. Ownership in an unstable market, without connection to job opportunities and social networks, and without the supportive structures of the welfare state, can all too easily become a degraded good.
We therefore argue for the need for continued, active economic intervention to support areas with depressed house prices and stagnating local economies and we need to stand up for regional economic intervention.
4. Policy responses
The pamphlet therefore proposes extending to struggling owners the services that are currently on offer to social tenants including employment support, debt advice, and help in connecting households to social networks, bringing support for young families and retired households alike.
We propose a package of support for owners to help with financial insecurity, including:
- extending housing support to help with some of the costs of ownership, reaching more than two million adults in owner-occupied housing living in poverty
- developing a Housing Cost Credit to bring all forms of assistance for housing costs into the same system with different streams to meet different needs
- compulsory insurance for all new mortgages - in which the risk is shared by government, lender and borrower - with the 'Sustainable Home Ownership Partnership', costing owners around £1.60 per £100 of mortgage payment or around £170 per year on the average mortgage of £140,000 with an interest rate of 5 per cent.

The servicemen have fought a long campaign against the Ministry of Defence, claiming they were duped into taking part in the tests at the Porton Down chemical warfare installation in Wiltshire.
The veterans and the ministry are still negotiating in private over the final details of the out-of-court settlement. The MoD has offered to pay £8,300 to each of the 360 veterans, a total of £3m. It is understood that more than 90% have voted to accept but a small number claim the offer is paltry and that they are being railroaded.
The settlement is likely to end the long-running controversy over the testing of "human guinea pigs". Since 1916, more than 25,000 servicemen have taken part in tests at Porton Down where scientists have developed chemical weapons and protective equipment. It is the longest-running programme of chemical warfare tests on humans in the world.
Many servicemen were sent into gas chambers and exposed to chemical weapons, such as nerve gas, mustard gas and tear gas, so scientists could measure and record the effects on their bodies. In 1953 Ronald Maddison, an airman, was unlawfully killed in one of the tests after the scientists intentionally dropped liquid nerve gas on to his arm.
Many veterans say they were tricked because they believed they had volunteered to take part in common cold experiments, but were sent to Porton instead. Many believe that the poison gases ruined their health, causing illnesses such as respiratory and skin diseases, cancer, and psychological problems.
Lawyers have been preparing a large-scale legal action, which will be dropped if the veterans accept the compensation and apology. It is understood the MoD would not be required to admit the experiments caused ill health.
Any veteran who rejects the deal would have to find new lawyers to launch a fresh lawsuit. However experts believe that it is difficult to prove exposure to a particular chemical weapon had caused specific long-term ill-health, because the scientific data is sparse and uncertain.
Yesterday the MoD and the veterans' lawyers were not commenting on the confidential negotiations until they have been concluded, although one veteran, Derek Shenton, told the BBC: "There was very high pressure to sign - threats basically - 'take it or leave it'."
The MoD denied it was coercing veterans to accept the deal, saying that it was their decision.
The MoD has already paid out £100,000 compensation to the family of Maddison, coupled with an apology. His relatives had spent decades trying to find out how and why he died in the nerve gas experiment which went disastrously wrong.

[NEW IN MLS: Goalkeepers] Three MLS playoff teams, champion Sporting Kansas City, Seattle and New England, must replace their starting goalies, who either retired or weren't re-signed. Two other clubs, Columbus and Philadelphia, have also brought in new goalies, creating some fierce battles between the posts for starting jobs in preseason around MLS training camps. For a look at who's new in goal.
STEVE CLARK (Columbus). Matt Lampson, a homegrown signing out of Ohio
State, started 13 games over the last half of the 2013 season after Andy Gruenebaum was sidelined with a shoulder injury. After first indicating Gruenebaum
might return, new coach Gregg Berhalter traded him to Sporting Kansas City and brought in Clark, who started at Honefoss in Norway the last four seasons. Clark,
27, has the edge in experience over Lampson, 24, but Berhalter could go either way.
BRAD KNIGHTON (New England). Knighton returns to the Revs, where
he played three years (2007-09), after stints in Philadelphia and Vancouver and in the NASL. The job to replace the retired Matt Reis is open, and Revs coach
Jay Heaps said Bobby Shuttleworth, who split time with Reis in 2013, backup Luis Shoffner and Knighton will all get a fair crack.
Shuttleworth started against Malmo on Friday, while Knighton should get the start in Tuesday's scrimmage against Philadelphia.
ANDRE BLAKE (Philadelphia). For now, Zac
MacMath is still Coach John Hackworth's choice in goal, but Blake wasn't taken with the No. 1 pick in the SuperDraft because he can be fill in now and
then. The Jamaican is arguably the best keeper to come out of college since Brad Guzan and he'll push MacMath hard.
ANDY GRUENEBAUM (Sporting KC). The retirement of captain Jimmy Nielsen (now coaching in USL PRO) leaves a big void in the goal of the defending
MLS champions, but Gruenebaum should challenge Nielsen's backup, Eric Kronberg, to whom SKC coach Peter Vermes handed the starting job in
preseason despite all of five appearances in eight seasons. Gruenebaum and Kronberg go way back. They roomed at the 2006 MLS Combine, and Gruenebaum is from the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park,
where -- small world -- Kronberg's wife's family bought Gruenebaum's family's house.
STEFAN FREI (Seattle). The decision not to keep Michael Gspurning (who's returned to Greece at PAOK) has opened up a battle between the Swiss-born Frei and Marcus Hahnemann,
still going strong two decades after turning pro out of Seattle Pacific with the A-League Sounders. Coach Sigi Schmid termed the battle an "open competition." Frei began the
preseason with the edge, though there will be fitness questions about both keepers. Frei played only one game in 2012 and 2013 because of injuries, while 41-year-old Hahnemann was bothered by a
hamstring injury in 2013.

What would you do?: How fellow diners react to a boy with autism
A family is hoping for a quiet, casual lunch outing at a local restaurant, not such an easy task when one of their children has autism.
This is the scene set by ABC's What would you do?. ABC brings in an actor who simulates a boy who has autism and the cameras wait to see what the surrounding diners will do. Watch it below.
If this episode would have been filmed 10-20 years earlier I guarantee you that there would have been a totally different outcome.

UPDATE 1-Trudeau says Bombardier aid needs strong business case
(Adds Trudeau quotes, background on Quebec's plans and Bombardier's struggles)
By Randall Palmer
OTTAWA Nov 10 (Reuters) - Any federal aid to struggling Quebec aircraft maker Bombardier Inc must be based on a strong business case and not on "emotion, politics or symbols," Liberal Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Tuesday.
The new leader, speaking to a closed meeting of the Canadian Labour Congress, made clear the government is considering some form of investment or subsidy but that it is not a given just because Bombardier is a storied Canadian company.
"There's no question that high value manufacturing is going to be an extremely important part of Canada for years to come. Aerospace is a great example of that, as is the auto sector and others," he said in remarks made available to Reuters.
"How we can best invest and support that kind of manufacturing needs to be done responsibly and with our eyes open and not just based on emotion, politics or symbols."
The mainly francophone province of Quebec plays a large role in Canadian politics, and said on Oct. 29 it would invest $1 billion in Bombardier's CSeries jets in return for a near 50 percent stake in the project. It now wants Ottawa to help the firm as well.
On Tuesday, Trudeau said: "There has to be a strong business case and I know you agree with me on that and we're going to make sure that decision is taken based on what is in the best interest of Canadians writ large."
He said Innovation Minister Navdeep Bains, named to his portfolio on Nov. 4 when the Liberals took power from the Conservatives, was weighing in on the Bombardier issue now and was looking "at what a broad range of experts are recommending." Continuación...

|Seat Depth1
Measure from the most posterior point of the body to the inside of the knee, minus at least two inches. Optimal contact between the legs and the seat increases stability for the body.
Back Height2
Measured from the seat base to the top of the chair back. Sport users need enough height for upper body support, yet low enough to allow the arms and trunk to rotate freely.
Rear Seat to Floor3
Measurement from the ground to the rear seat edge. Relative to the front seat-to-floor dimension, this determines the rearward slope ("dump" or "squeeze") of the seat. Sport chairs usually have more dump for extra upper body stability.
Hanger Angle4
Determines how far the toes extend away from the body, measured from the horizontal. Sport users often use very tight angles to be able to rotate in the smallest possible space.
Seat Width5
Determined by the widest point of the body from knee to hip, plus an inch to ensure room to move. Sport chairs are typically as narrow as possible to save weight which improves agility.
Wheel Camber6
Angle of the wheel relative to the vertical. More camber improves stability and agility, but also limits ability to pass through narrow spaces. A typical sport chair uses nine to twelve degrees of camber.
Front Seat to Floor7
Measure the leg from the back of the knee to the sole of the foot. Then subtract the thickness of the cushion when it is compressed. Next, add a minimum of two inches for footrest clearance. Do not add the footrest clearance if the chair will be foot-propelled.

Twitter Launches Moments, a New Way to Discover Tweet Content
Back in June, Twitter detailed a new project it was working on to better highlight the platform's strength in real-time events. Dubbed 'Project Lightning', the new function would aim to showcase real-time discussions on Twitter around major issues and events, using a team of curators who would create dedicated streams based around those trending discussions. And now lightning has struck, so to speak, though it's been re-named 'Moments' – and it's Twitter's boldest move yet towards changing how the service is perceived and winning over new audiences.
In the Moment
Moments, which is live from today for all US users (with other regions coming soon), is a whole new tab within Twitter that uncovers key discussions and events. On the desktop version, the Moments tab will be placed between 'Notifications' and 'Messages'.
On mobile, Moments will be accessible via the regular options bar at the bottom of the screen.
Clicking through will take you to a new listing of different categories of Moments collections, starting on 'Today'.
You can then scroll through and find the Moments collection you want to view which, once selected, will show you a collection of content surfaced from Twitter, Vine and Periscope on that topic. You just swipe across to go through what's on offer.
New! Find the best of Twitter in an instant with Moments: https://t.co/QAKGUSVBbT pic.twitter.com/KAjfkysVKC
— Twitter (@twitter) October 6, 2015
As per the video, for each piece of content shown, you can favorite or re-tweet as normal – clicking through on links, though, takes an extra step (you have to click into the tweet, then click again on the link, slowing up the process slightly). At the end of your Moments stream you have the option to share the content, or click on another Moment to be taken to the next story.
Moments will be updated in real time, which is particularly relevant for breaking news stories. When stories are updated, a blue dot will appear in the upper right-hand corner of the image associated with the Moment. There's also an option to 'follow the moment', which will bring the tweets curated for that Moments stream directly into your regular Twitter timeline for the duration of the event. Once the event's over, the tweets will stop coming through.
Mentions collections are selected based not only on tweet popularity, but are curated by a team of human editors – Twitter has a team working on Moments content around the clock to ensure the information is kept current and up to the minute. To reinforce this, Twitter has also released a set of guidelines on how Moments content is selected, underlining the impartial and data-driven nature of Moments content.
"Our Moments curation team is not responsible for driving revenue, user growth, or managing Twitter's partner relationships. We will feature Tweets in Moments and select Moments based on what best serves our audience, and not to benefit advertisers, partners, or Twitter's business interests. We will generally avoid creating Moments that cover our own industry, our company, or our competitors."
That editorial freedom will be crucial to the success of the project – if people feel relevant content is being omitted, particularly due to commercial constraints, it could undermine the whole process and turn users away. That said, Moments does have a plan to generate more revenue through the tool, and quite an interesting one at that.
The Opportunity of the Moment
Initially, as per the official release, most Moments will be assembled by Twitter's new curation team. There will be some, however, which are created by partners – initial partners providing Moments content are Bleacher Report, Buzzfeed, Entertainment Weekly, Fox News, Getty Images, Mashable, MLB, NASA, New York Times, Vogue and the Washington Post. This will enable these groups to present their own content on the Moments platform, engaging audiences in a whole new way. Branded stories will be the next phase of the project – Matt Darella, Twitter's VP of Sales, told AdWeek that instead of slipping promoted tweets into the Moments experience, Twitter's planning to create 'Promoted Moments' for brands, showcasing on-platform discussion around promotions or products.
"What it's actually going to be is a dedicated piece of real estate within the moments guide where a brand can curate a series of different tweets or Vines to actually tell their story." – Matt Darella, Twitter's VP of Sales
One example might be a film studio creating a Moments story around an upcoming film or a brand using on platform discussion to create a story around a music festival. The approach is similar to Snapchat's 'Live Story' option, which utilizes user-generated content to create a multi-perspective story around an event. And that seems like a sensible move – Snapchat has reported that Live Stories generate an average audience of 20 million in 24-hours, which equates to around $400,000 worth of ad space for every event.
Giving brands the option to create their own stories will open up a whole new way to reach people via the Twitter platform, and potentially a lot more – Twitter has previously claimed that their 'logged out' user base, those who are exposed to Twitter content but not actually active on the platform, could be more than double their actual 316 million Monthly Active User number. If they can harness even part of that audience through Moments, that'll be a significant boost in audience potential for the micro-blog giant.
Real-Time Trends
However it plays out, Moments is a big step for Twitter, the first since the announcement of co-founder Jack Dorsey as their new CEO, replacing Dick Costolo after a long search. If it works out, Twitter will have a whole new way to showcase the greatest strength of the platform, as the leader in real-time events and discussion, and a whole new revenue stream, through the incorporation of branded Moments collections. As noted, Snapchat has seen significant success in this regard, and Snapchat doesn't have anywhere near the volume of content or ubiquity that Twitter has. That said, the audiences for the two platforms are very different, making a direct comparison impossible, but the potential is there. Moments could be a major step forward for Twitter's ongoing growth ambitions.

Finally my Amazon Kindle Paperwhite has arrive in Singapore! Don't get me wrong, Amazon is still not shipping its Amazon Kindle to Singapore but i ordered it through the methods i found online. One popular and good post to get Kindle to Singapore is by Jeff's Blog.
The first book i purchase is – The�Prosecutor by Glenn Knight and i am already half way finishing the book in less than 12 hours my kindle has arrive. The kindle arrive through DHL via Comgateway.
I'm going to write a simple steps here on how i got my kindle from Amazon and how i start with my first book purchase.
You will need to have 2 Amazon accounts first through 2 different emails. 1 email is for your location to be in Singapore another 1 email is for you to be virtually in USA. So prepare 2 different email accounts and register on Amazon. You will also need a virtual address which can be registered for free via ComGateway and lastly a VPN account to make you virtually located USA.
1. Register both your account in Amazon and create two accounts. The Singapore account register with your location indicating in Singapore, inputting your Singapore address is optional anyway. After that register your USA account and indicate your location as USA where you will need to key in your USA address.
2. You will need to obtain your virtual USA address which i will recommend ComGateway as i heard VPost sometimes screws up your shipment. Register your ComGateway account and obtain your USA address which will show something like this:
Your U.S. Address
17146 NE Sandy Blvd
Portland, OREGON 97230
Tel: 503-914-6317
Input the address in your Amazon USA account. (Remember place in your own address obtained from ComGateway not mine unless you want to send me a free gift ;D)
3. Use your Singapore Amazon account and buy a gift card from the website. If you are intending to buy the Kindle and Leather Case you may wish to buy a uS$200 gift card. I opt for the non-ads version of Kindle Paperwhite which cost US$139 and the Kindle Leather Case which cost US$39.90 and the remaining of US$200 you can use it for purchasing your first e-book!
4. After your purchase the gift card, send it over to your US Amazon account and apply the gift card. Once you have applied the gift card you can start to buy your Kindle and ship it to your Comgateway address.
5. Once your parcel arrives to Comgateway factility in USA, Portland. ComGateway will send you an email and notify you that your item has arrive at their facility. Select the option and ship it out to your Singapore address. The fee for shipping of a Kindle Paperwhite and Leathercase is around US$18 if you choose express shipment.
6. Lastly the shipment will arrive to your Singapore address within a couple of days. You may go to DHL website and key in your Waybill No. indicated on Comgateway to track your shipment and look forward for its arrival!
So what do you do after you receive your Kindle? Turn it on! Select your language and connect to your wireless at home and register it to link with your Amazon USA account.�DO NOT purchase any ebooks via your Kindle as this might cause your account to be suspended.
Here's the steps to purchase ebooks via Amazon website. You will need to be virtually appearing in USA first to buy it due to some copyrights issue.
1. Get a VPN account where you will need to pay for it at times to have it. But for me i found a free VPN account that allows me with 100mb free usage which is Private Tunnel.
