Fast forward many moons and when my friend Hien and I were looking for a restaurant to dine at, I suggested Ocha. At it's new location, it is still extremely busy but we managed to get a seat at the bar, which was fine with us. I had read a lot about the amazing sushi at Ocha so that was a must order for me. We shared the Sashimi Platter and I have to say that I was disappointed. The fish all tasted rather dull and didn't have much flavour. Even the seared fish didn't really taste of anything. Hien was also of the same opinion.
A special dish of the day was a Beef Tataki of wagyu. The meat texture was good and flavours were also nice. This was my favourite savoury dish of the day. A Katifi Wrapped Scampi was really bland and boring, the katifi totally masking any flavour of the scampi. Tempura Vegetables were ok, the batter was light and crisp but didn't add much flavour to the rather plain tasting vegetable. Lastly a Seared Beef was served simply with some bean shoots. It tasted ok but just lacked some flavour.
While the savoury dishes were rather dull, desserts were much better. Simple Red Bean Ice Cream was creamy and beautiful. The Raspberry and White Chocolate Pudding was a strange mix but really worked nicely.
Sitting at the front bar, we were quite cut off from the rest of the restaurant. I didn't mind this and rather enjoyed the quieter space as the main restaurant was really noisy. Being at the bar area, service was really good and the wait staff were very friendly.
I won't be rushing back to Ocha as there are so many other wonderful Japanese restaurants in Melbourne. Maybe I ordered the wrong items but I found the food a bit dull.
Overall Rating: 12/20, Food was ok, nothing excellent that would make me rush back for more.
Scores: 1-9: Unacceptable, don't bother. 10-11: Just OK,some shortcomings. 12: Fair. 13: Getting there. 14: Recommended. 15: Good. 16: Really good. 17: Truly excellent. 18: An outstanding experience. 19-20:Approaching perfection, Victoria's best.

Welcome to the Studio Macura collection, a design label of domestic accessories and furnishings. The label consists of compelling design objects and accessories suitable for both domestic as well as contract environments. The objects are conceived and created to please by their aesthetics, wit and unexpected interpretation. The collection promises to bring forth enduring, unique designs that are functional, beautiful and moderately priced. Our approach is honest and original. We try to capture in every piece of our collection the paradox of something that is very distinct and appealing yet still inherently familiar to people. As much as we like to be surprised, we also like to cling to things that are known and have a beautiful everyday quality about them. We seek, both wings and roots, the known and the unknown.
It is this paradox that gives the spirit to our collection. The products, poetic and original, bear a spirit of endurance and longevity. Regarding the materials we choose to use for our designs, simply put we are intrigued by prime and traditional materials such as porcelain, glass wood and metal whilst tempted to create and experiment with future manufacturing technologies such as three dimensional printing. Whichever technique or material we are working with, we search for highest quality executions with our manufacturers and truly believe that the beauty of a finished product is as good as the quality of its smallest details. We hope you will enjoy our collection and follow us on our blog and Facebook pages for news and updates.

The Establishment and Stability of the Islamic system requires, more than anything else, the firmness of the beliefs and values of Islam in the hearts of the people. The realization of this very significant matter, in its own turn, depends upon the universality of Islamic education at different levels, by using multifarious means and opportunities. One of the best of such occasions and opportunities is the weekly congregations of Salatul-Jumu'ah (Friday Prayer), particularly in cities where the proceedings of the Salatul-Jumu'ah are directly broadcast by the radio and television.
Hence, in response to the request of the management committee, in charge of the affairs of the Salatul-Jumu'ah in the city of Tehran, I delivered a series of lectures on "The status of At-Tawhid in the ideological system and value system of Islam". The texts of these lectures were regularly published in the Persian language daily, viz: "Jamhuriyyi-Islami (The Islamic Republic)",
Now, responding to the requests made by a large number of the listeners and also by some friends, an abridged version of these lectures is being published for the interested readers. It is hoped that this humble service will please Al-Imam Muhammad Al-Mahdi (AS)-may Allah the Almighty hasten his auspicious reappearance.

I'm a beginner who've done my lessons, bought my gear, and now want to practice on my own. I did the lessons at 3rd ave, but I don't feel too comfortable doing my first solo ride in the middle of 50+ other kiters on a weekend, so I'd like to start somewhere less crowded and more beginner-friendly.
However, it seems like Alameda is done for summer - there hasn't been enough wind to ride there the last couple of weekends.
Any suggestions on other areas in the vicinity that are beginner-friendly and has better summer wind? Sherman Islands seems to be bad if you don't go upwind consistently yet, and I understand it has a somewhat sketchy launch? I've read conflicting opinions about Bodega Bay as a beginner spot, is it worth driving there?
Any suggestions/recommendations would be appreciated!

Power Marketing necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 65 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
Freedom Tabernacle
We are getting ready to start a brand new church. The church will be called "Freedom Tabernacle." It is a Christian church.
There's not really an "audience" per se. We just want a nice logo that is unique and simple, yet striking.
Our colors (of course) will be red, white, and blue. We are open to pretty much any patriotic design or style. Icons or images are not necessary, however if used, an eagle or star would probably be best suited (not really interested in the statue of liberty, or the liberty bell, or anything like that). An American flag would probably be very nice if attached or included somehow in the logo. The church motto will be, "The Truth Shall Make You Free."
We would like the design to be simple and clean, yet "striking and unique." We are quite open to all types of design ideas so long as they stay within the patriotic American design motif. Send us your ideas and we will be sure to comment and respond. Thanks for your participation.
UPDATE TO DESIGN IDEAS - thanks for all the submissions so far. They have helped us to know a little bit more about what we want. That being said, here are some updates to the design concept:
1. We would prefer not to use the symbol of the cross.
2. We definitely want a graphic or icon of some sort.
3. Symbols that could be used are: an open Bible, an eagle's head, a complete eagle, a shining light or sun, stars (7 stars would be great but not necessary).
4. We need a font that is strong/intense and serious. Trajan is a great example of this, but we don't necessarily want Trajan because it is such an overused font. However, Trajan conveys the feeling of seriousness and elegance at the same time. That's the feeling we want conveyed with the font. Additionally, font combinations could be used for the words "Freedom" and "Tabernacle."
5. If it's possible and a letter within the text can be converted to a custom graphic or icon, we'd like to see that as well. Thanks!

Gwyn Mills, CEO of Pattaya-based environmental organisation Dive Tribe, explained that the laws in Thailand regarding fishing practices are murky at best.
"It largely depends on where they've been caught... There are harsher penalties if they've been caught in a National Park as opposed to open waters for example."
The problem lies in the fact that fishing behaviour is often not recorded in Thailand, with fishermen and fishing crews often failing to submit their behaviour and locations to CITES (the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora).
CITES is an international agreement between governments charged with ensuring that international trade in specimens of wild animals and plants does not threaten their survival.
Another problem is that statistics as to the number of sharks are very hard to accurately record. However, it is estimated that the hammerhead population in the Atlantic Ocean has radically declined by over 95 per cent in the past 30 years.
The main cause of this drop-off is over-fishing, due to the rise in demand for shark fins from markets in East Asia, especially China, of which hammerheads are the most popular species.
Tony Andrews, the Regional Manager of PADI Asia Pacific diving society, however, believes that the sharks featured in this photo were not caught for their fins, and will probably end up as decorative display pieces in local Thai restaurants.
"I know it's horrible to say, but in the fisherman's defence, this is not down to the finning trade. Sharks that are being finned are normally finned at sea with the carcass being thrown overboard, to ensure that the boat has more room for storing the fins."
David Roe, a Marine Conservation Officer from Project Aware, which organises divers to tackle major ocean conservation issues 'Sharks in Peril' and 'Marine Debris', agrees that it's incredibly important to make the distinction between shark fishing and shark finning, at least from a legal perspective.
"With shark finning, the valuable fins are kept while the less valuable shark body is discarded at sea to leave room for more valuable animals.
"If they sell the body for meat and the fins for the shark fin soup trade, this would be seen as making full use of the animal, as outlined in the UN's Food and Agriculture's Code of Conduct for Responsible Fishing."
So, although the practice is not illegal, it is according to Mr Roe and many market shoppers, nonetheless heartbreaking.
This is why Project Aware is working to have hammerhead sharks listed under CITES Appendix II at the Conference of Parties in Thailand, March 2013, which would lead to enforced protection of the mammal.
Mr Roe believes that resistance to listing any more than the three sharks currently listed on the appendix is due to their high economic value.
If their bid is successful, it would not necessarily prevent such shocking scenes in the marketplace, as the listing only places control over international, not domestic trade, but Mr Roe sees such a listing as a major step forward in the conservation of the species.
The biggest step Mr Roe, Mr Andrews and many other campaigners see as needing to take place, is a change in attitude and that might, according to some reports, need to start at the very top.
A petition by change.org is gathering steam, calling for the removal of the Asian representative of CITES, Dr Giam Choo Hoo, on grounds of conflict of interest owing to his purported links to the shark finning industry.
For his part, Dr Giam, a Singaporean, has said that the attempted ban of the shark finning trade is rooted in cultural bias and is in fact discriminatory. For him, the eating of shark fin soup is a delicacy, and a tradition that has great importance and significance for many around the region.
Regardless, Project Aware and PADI have joined forces and are taking action against the shark finning trade by raising awareness amongst the global dive community about issues threatening sharks, and turning divers – those most in contact with the animals – into champions of shark protection.
Mr Mills of Dive Tribe is also keen to continue the good work he started in Pattaya here on the island, "We'll be opening a base in Phuket to raise awareness and educate about how the shark finning and fishing trade is worsening the plight of the sharks.
"We'll also visit universities and run courses."
Overall, it is imperative to remain patient, according to Project Aware's Mr Roe, who believes change will come, albeit slowly.
"It's important to remember that the biggest issue with shark fishing is that currently, in most cases, it is unsustainable and unmanaged.
"[We are] calling for properly managed, science-based shark fisheries. We are also campaigning for a 'fin's naturally attached on landing policy' so as to end the cruel and wasteful practice of finning."

Weather Forecast for June 2263
by Nick D'Alto
Talk about long-range forecasts! What will the weather look like 50, 100, even 200 years from now? Incredibly, Japan's Earth Simulator, the world's largest and fastest supercomputer, is answering that question right now.
Earth Simulator does it by turning weather patterns, from the number of sunny days each year to the intensity of a monster tornado, into billions of bytes of information. Built by NEC of Tokyo, this megacomputer is larger than a football field. It's also unbelievably fast, performing more calculations in just one second (over 35 trillion!) than there are stars in our galaxy. That awesome power can output uncanny models of future climate.
Will ozone depletion and greenhouse gases alter Earth's climate in the 23rd century? Could coastal cities disappear beneath rising oceans, as global warming melts the polar ice caps? Like a "time machine," Earth Simulator can model these future scenarios with unprecedented accuracy, helping researchers track how today's environmental problems—from pollution to fluorocarbons—can affect tomorrow.
But this marvel isn't just a "crystal ball" for predicting the distant future. Scientists are already using it to keep some of Japan's major cities safe from the threat of typhoons (tropical storms) that strike their coastlines each year.
Surprisingly, the weather wizard employs a computational strategy called vector processing—a technology once believed to be obsolete. Now, though, its blazing speed promises advances in almost every science, including tracking the movements of the Earth's crust to anticipate earthquakes, testing drugs inside a "virtual body" in the race to cure AIDS, and—to help officials protect cities from terrorism—even simulating the spread of biological weapons such as smallpox.
- depletion:
- The using up of something.
- fluorocarbon:
- A chemical used in aerosol cans, refrigerants, plastics, and other materials.
- ozone [layer]:
- A region of the atmosphere containing a special form of oxygen that shields Earth from harmful radiation. The ozone layer can be damaged by certain kinds of pollution.
- typhoon:
- A severe tropical hurricane occurring in the western Pacific Ocean.
- Why would it be helpful for researchers to understand how today's activities affect the future's climate? Write a sentence or two to explain your answer.
[anno: It would be helpful for researchers to understand how today's activities affect the future's climate because it would mean that researchers could make recommendations about which activities should be changed or stopped to avoid major climate change in the future.]
- How do you think the climate where you live might be different in 100 years? Why do you think it will be different? Write a short paragraph describing how the climate where you live might be different and why.
[anno: Answers will vary. Students may believe that the climate will become warmer because of an increased greenhouse effect caused by human activities. The student may believe that the climate will not change much in the next 100 years.]

"Disastrous" was the word Eurogroup chairman and Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker used to describe the possibility that Sunday's EU summit in Brussels would not, as expected, come up with a solution to the euro debt crisis.
But it is almost certain that European leaders will not reach the eagerly awaited decision on scaling up the euro bailout fund, the EFSF, at the Sunday meeting. A second meeting has already been called for Wednesday of next week.
Financial experts agree with Mr. Juncker's opinion that delaying the deal gives the eurozone and its ability to act a bad image. But they differ in their opinion on how to get a grip on the debt crisis as much as the politicians do.
The reason for the delay is disagreement between France and Germany on the methods for giving the euro rescue fund more clout. Both countries see some kind of leverage – increasing the effectiveness of the fund without actually raising the amount of capital it is holding – as the way to regain the trust of investors in eurozone economies. Currently the EFSF holds 440 billion euro, with a guarantee sum of 780 billion. Through leverage, this amount is expected to rise to 2 trillion euro. What they don't agree on is which model of leverage to use.
Bank or insurance model?
France wants to turn the EFSF into a bank, which – healthily capitalized as it is – could then turn to the European Central Bank (ECB) for credit that countries like Greece or Portugal won't get anywhere else.
Germany is strictly opposed to such a move. Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble called it "a license for printing money," posing the risk of inflation and violating the statutes of the ECB, which is dedicated to impartiality and price stability.
"The eurozone should have such a monetary tool," says Xavier Timbeau, director of analysis at the Center for Economic Research OFCE in Paris. "The Fed in the United States, the Bank of England, the Bank of Japan – they all intervene by buying up government bonds. Why should we deprive ourselves of such a possibility?"
Michael Wohlgemuth, managing research associate at Freiburg University, disagrees. "Of course the French see the risk of inflation as much as we do. But French banks are heavily exposed to southern European debt. And the country as a whole is about to lose its top credit rating. So France is willing to take risks and eager to spread possible losses."
Germany's preference for beefing up the rescue fund – even though it has not been officially confirmed – is an insurance model, in which sovereign bonds would only be partially guaranteed. By insuring only 20 percent of each debt issue, the EFSF could guarantee five times as much.
"There are two problems in the insurance model," says Mr. Wohlgemuth. "Investors will still not accept government bonds from countries like Greece. And the likelihood that guarantee sums will actually have to be paid is increased."
Further complications
Desperate attempts to find common ground between France and Germany have not yet yielded any results. On Wednesday, French President Nicolas Sarkozy traveled to Frankfurt for an unscheduled and unsuccessful meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel while his wife Carla Bruni went into the hospital and gave birth to a daughter. A government statement by Mrs. Merkel on Friday about the rescue fund was canceled because there was nothing she could tell the public. The two leaders will meet again Saturday evening for a last-minute try at reaching an agreement.
But even if they do, Mrs. Merkel cannot sign any deal in Brussels. The budget committee of the German parliament on Friday voted to object to any changes of the rescue fund unless it is given more time to inspect the proposals. The votes included those from Merkel's own party, the Christian Democrats (CDU).
Wolfgang Bosbach, a leading CDU member of parliament, explained his uneasiness. "More and more people think that we are not in control any longer, that markets dictate what we are doing. People think we're acting in self-defense. As lawmakers, we have to regain the initiative," he said.
Wohlgemuth is similarly unimpressed by the proposed leverage of the EFSF. "In the end, no rescue fund of gigantic proportions will solve the crisis. Countries like Italy, Spain, even France, have to persuade international markets that they can control their debts and present a balanced budget. Otherwise this crisis will go on and get worse."
But this would take time that Europe does not have, according to Mr. Timbeau. "Of course the EFSF is just a means to find breathing space to work on a sustainable solution. But if we can't make this first step, we won't be able to make the second."

With frigid temperatures across many parts of the country this winter, space heaters are an attractive option to keep homes warm. They can be a major safety hazard, though, so be sure to take the proper precautions when using them.
LINCOLN, RI (PRWEB) January 29, 2013
Home fires occur most often in January, February and March, as people try to keep warm with additional sources of heat. Space heaters are a popular – but sometimes dangerous – option to provide that warmth, and Amica Insurance is offering some tips to help use them safely.
"With frigid temperatures across many parts of the country this winter, space heaters are an attractive option to keep homes warm," said Mike Gillerlane, a senior assistant vice president with Amica Insurance. "They can be a major safety hazard, though, so be sure to take the proper precautions when using them."
A release from the Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety (IIBHS) says that home fires have resulted in 149 deaths in January, 24 more than at this same time in 2012, according to the U.S. Fire Administration (USFA). Additionally, home fires lead to an average of 18,300 injuries per year and cause billions of dollars in damage.
That's why Amica Insurance is sharing these tips from the IIBHS website to encourage the proper use of space heaters:
- Keep a distance of 36 inches between the heater and combustible materials like bedding, furniture, wall coverings and other flammable items.
- Do not leave a heater unattended.
- Electric heaters should be inspected prior to use. Check the cord for fraying and cracking, and look for broken wires or signs of overheating in the device itself.
- Use only heavy-duty extension cords marked with a No. 14 gauge or larger wire.
- If the heater plug has a grounding prong, use only a grounding (three-wire) extension cord.
- Never run the heater cord, or any cord, under rugs or carpeting.
- With liquid fuel-powered devices, use only kerosene or oil heat. Never use gasoline or any other substitute fuel.
- Allow the heater to cool down before refueling.
"Stay warm this winter, but do it safely by following these tips on space heaters," Gillerlane said.

Anxiety, Australia, Christmas, Christmas and holiday season, Food, holiday activities, Mental Health, parenting, parenting tips, Perth, school holidays, survival techniques, things to do in Perth
Across Australia the yearly migration of school aged children is taking place. This migration occurs over a six to seven week time period and takes on the form of a pilgrimage, where the children transition from one school grade to another. The pilgrimage has often been denoted by excessive whingeing, demands for food and excruciating periods of perceived boredom.
The flow on effect to the parents of these migrating creatures is visible to the keen observer. They display increased anxiety, have a general haggard appearance, often wear mis-matched clothing, and in extreme cases resort to excessive consumption of alcohol.
After many years of studying this natural phenomenon I have compiled a list of some techniques that can make the migration easier on both parents, and offspring.
The underlying concept of these technique is to maintain some semblance of the school-year routine.
Parents can go about their usual morning routine of preparing the day's food allocation, packing it in the school lunch box as they normally would and setting a timer to remind them, and the offspring, when it is time to eat. All calls (aka nagging) for food outside of these times should be ignored.
Freedom is often a curse in human offspring and when left to their own devices for too lengthy a period anxiety sets in and neurotic behaviours ensue, so clear, defined parameters for activities may be required, including but not limited to, tasks only being allowed during specific time periods throughout the day.
This migration period is frequently marred by sudden outbreaks of the "I'm bored" illness. Should such an outbreak occur in your herd it can be dealt with swiftly by administering an antibiotic strength dose of "Housework". Empirical evidence has shown that even the most resistant strain of the "I'm bored" illness will eventually be annihilated if you apply enough "housework".
Most herds find the impact of the migration period can be considerably diminished with the implementation of these simple techniques, making for a happier population.
Should you have any further ideas or insights gleaned from your own observations that would be of benefit to the herd please feel free to share in the comments.
Good luck and may patience be with you.

Greg Norman (Getty Images)
Greg Norman is set to experience a sentimental return to the scene of his career defining first Major Championship victory, he has confirmed that he will play in The Senior Open Championship at Turnberry, a tournament presented by Rolex.
Greg famously finished five shots clear of English Ryder Cup player Gordon J Brand over the famous Ailsa Course to win The 1986 Open Championship. That win cemented the Shark's place in golfing history, as he then went on to occupy the World number one spot for 331 weeks, and also claim a second Claret Jug at Royal St George's in 1993. Turnberry will always hold a special place in Greg's heart and he is really happy to have the opportunity to return to the renowned Scottish links next month. The now 57-year-old Greg Norman will also renew his acquaintance with fellow Turnberry champion Tom Watson, who is also in the field for the 26th Senior Open Championship.
Greg spoke about returning to the scene of his first Major triumph;
"I'm really looking forward to returning to Turnberry for this summer's Senior Open. I'm sure once I arrive the memories will come flooding back. Turnberry will always be special to me as that is where I won my first Major Championship. But aside from my victory, there is also some great history at Turnberry. It produced the "Duel in the Sun" between Tom Watson and Jack Nicklaus in 1977. That finish where Watson pulled out the victory will not soon be forgotten. So this place produces some dramatic golf and provides a great venue for both The Open Championship and The Senior Open Championship."
The 'Great White Shark' still has some vivid recollections of how he captured that first Claret Jug;
"It really was a special time, I will never forget that victory and the events of that week. I vividly remember sitting in the restaurant at the Turnberry Hotel on Saturday night when Jack Nicklaus came over and pulled up a chair. Jack gave me a tip that night on grip pressure. He said;
" Concentrate on the pressure of your grip, and that will orchestrate your tempo. Everything should fall in place."
"I took that tip to heart and the next day I really did play well. I had a five shot lead walking down the eighteenth hole and when some of the fans formed a traditional rugby scrum in the middle of the 18th fairway, I knew I had won my first major golf tournament."

Another Stop Work Order
This one was attached to the door of Apt K at 120 East 4th Street. It was moved by an unknown force in the night to the glass on the front door of the building. The reason for this Stop Work Order remains a mystery, but it seems there was illegal construction over the weekends. The DOB was uncharacteristically swift in taking action to shut down this work. When our buildings were first taken over by Magnum Realty, illegal construction and demolition work on weekends was the norm. A small sub group of our TA got together a coffee klatch and met on the street in front of our buildings for several Saturdays and Sundays at 7:30 AM, coffee in hand, to fend off the illegal work and workers. They had a few brew ha hahs. The Police were here at least twice to assist in the thwarting of illegal work and workers on the weekends, and send them packing. There were unpleasant phone calls from Josh Evans/ Greene/ Slepian, shouting that he owned the building (False claim) and that he could do as he pleased on the weekends. After quite a few weekends of coffee klatch defense, the illegal weekend work ceased, and moved to the Starbucks on 1st Ave and 3rd St.

Stuart Hellingsworth asks the ITFC Chief Executive a few pertinent questions.
Back in the days when it was difficult to get a ticket to see Ipswich Town Football Club, (the days when town were flying high, the fans loud and the players proud) some fans would accuse others of being glory hunters: "Where were you when we were losing to Stockport?" Times when fans were there to experience the lows were used almost as a badge of true loyalty against any Johnny-Come-Lately, as a mark of how far we'd come as we beat Liverpool, Tottenham and won plaudits on Match of the Day.
The abomination of the 3-0 defeat to a second from bottom Sheffield Wednesday was that new low. It was the match that showed just how far we had plummeted. We may yet suffer relegation and be a fixture in League One or lower, but that match will always be referred to as "that match". The match where it was spelt out that Ipswich Town fans had had enough. The fact that our manager, Paul Jewell, had departed days earlier was not enough to prevent the vitriol that was dished out to the players and Simon Clegg.
Often, the sacking of an unpopular manager brings fresh hopes, renewed vigour and an air of positivity. Players will put in a much improved performance to show the departed manager that he was wrong about them as they audition for prospective managers. Not this time. The players put in a performance that they could be proud of: if it was pre-season. Tackling appeared to be banned for fear of injury or perhaps in a ploy to make Sheffield Wednesday look like Brazil circa 1982 (I did check, but neither Sócrates or Éder played for Wednesday).
That lack of commitment was matched by low confidence from some and little cohesion amongst the team, something that is inevitable within an unsettled side – a side that is changed more often than something that is changed a lot. And don't start me on the ludicrous tactic of using a lone striker who is just 5ft 8. The crowd turned on the players. "You're not fit to wear the shirt" rang out from many (and not just the North Stand) as fans' frustrations spilled over. Aaron Cresswell was booed after a number of free kicks that were well below par for last season's Player of the Year, a notable lack of confidence to blame.
So not your usual post-managerial sacking performance and positive atmosphere.
But where did it go wrong?
Many will point to Paul Jewell and certainly he has to shoulder much of the blame. Some still refer to Roy Keane as the man who started the rot. Jim Magilton is also a candidate in the blame game from some quarters. None of these were victims to chants during the match, mainly because they had all paid the price for poor performance. Instead, only one staff member was highlighted: Simon Clegg. "Clegg out" and "We Want Clegg Out" were sang at Town's CEO who has been in place since April 2009.
Was this a fair chant?
Simon Clegg was appointed Chief Executive in April 2009. Amongst his first duties was to fire Jim Magilton. It seems the rationale for this was that town had failed to make the play-offs. Yes, he sacked a manager for failing to make the play-offs. Indeed Jim tweeted on Saturday 3 November 2012: "I was sacked for not getting in playoffs…" And many agreed with this sacking. Agreed because we were building a club to challenge, a squad to get promoted; we wanted promotion.
That promotion has not happened but an escape route appears to be via the trap door to League One. So how did we end up here? From 9th in the table, when Jim was sacked in April 2009 to our current position of rock bottom in November 2012. (I should add that our debt has also doubled in this time.)
Players and managers have come and gone – too many players and too many loans. We can all find a list of quotes about how we plan to build for long term; how we won't repeat the problems of letting contracts run down. But these never happen. Players are purchased for the short term, contracts are run down and loan players arrive. With such short termism, no wonder players appear less motivated. Someone who has signed for town or even developed via our legendary academy and has performed well is then dropped in favour of a loan player needing match fitness.
You could blame the manager for this. He is (usually) the one who identifies the players he wants. Some arrive: Bowyer, Bullard, Scotland, Creswell etc, but some don't. Austin and Derry being two notable players for whom we agreed a transfer fee, arrived and were impressed with our facilities only for the deal to fall apart due to negotiations breaking down. Then there is the group who arrived for a lot of money but departed for nothing: McAuley, Norris and Leadbitter being the standout names here. Their contracts were allowed to run down and for them to be allowed to leave for free. These were players that other teams wanted. When asked if McAuley and Norris should have been offered a contract the previous summer to their release, Simon Clegg replied "I don't think that at all. Hindsight's a great thing. We are where we're at." (Taken from TWTD, Wednesday, 11th May 2011 13:49 ) So we bought expensively and 'sold' cheaply; no wonder the debt has doubled.
Peterborough developed a cunning strategy for players who do not wish to sign an extension: they sell them. They sell them before their contract runs out. Other clubs have a strategy whereby they look to agree a deal long in advance. To 99% of clubs and fans, this would appear to be sound business sense. At Ipswich, Lee Martin's contract talks stalled because… because… Well you tell me.
Such contract talks are often the domain of the chief executive. I believe that it may have been referred to in despatches that Marcus Evans and Clegg take a lead on these. Even were it to be the responsibility solely of the manager, can it be that both Jewell and Keane allowed it to happen in more than one season? Or is it an Ipswich Town Football Club problem? Either way, I urge Clegg and Evans to ensure that they do not allow this to repeat itself yet again.
Attendance is another failing of Ipswich Town. The table below shows how our attendances have dwindled from 25,651 in season 04/05 to 19,641 last season. A loss of 6,000 spectators on average per game over six years. That's quite a loss both in terms of support and income.

Given, there has been a recession and with people having far less to spend than six years ago, attendances will drop. But then this should be mirrored across the Championship. However, as the rankings show, we did have the 3rd highest average attendance in 05/06 yet last season were down to 9th. (The early part of this season being even worse.) Why have we fallen down the attendance table? These are areas that the club should investigate. The fall in attendance is quite shocking and does not bode well for the club. 6,000 people x tickets + other goods (tea, beer, programme, cuddly toy for kid) = a big drop in income.
Can town not do anything to address this? Upon his arrival at the club in April 2009, Mr Clegg announced: "That catchment area is quite solid and we can draw 28,000 people, as we did for the home derby. One thing I want to do is to make sure the stadium is full week-in, week-out" (as published in TWTD http://www.twtd.co.uk/ipswich-town-news/14498/clegg-premier-league-the-number-one-goal )
So what happened there?
We know that many clubs offer discounts. A cheap beer offer was available for the Sheffield Wednesday game. Sometimes we reduce the costs of matchday tickets, but what do other clubs do?
- Middlesborough are offering tickets for their next home game at just £12.
- Crystal Palace did not appear to have any special deal available, but I did note that their cheapest adult ticket is £20 for certain games (not special offers that are only available if season ticket holders buy them). Previously, through Groupon, it was possible to buy two tickets for £20 for a certain match.
- Derby have also offered a similar deal via Groupon.
- Leicester, it would appear, have some tickets available for £15.
- Birmingham, against our good selves, did the "Kids for a quid" offer.
- Sheffield Wednesday last season offered two tickets for £20 for a game.
- Barnsley are offering members of the armed forces tickets for their game against Huddersfield for £10.
- Wolves allowed season ticket holders to bring a friend for free for one of their games.
- Charlton are offering tickets for £10 for one of their matches.
- Bristol City also offered tickets for £10 for a certain game last season. They also did an offer for season ticket holders of bringing a friend for free.
- Sunderland's game with WBA has an offer through Orange of £12.50 a ticket.
- West Ham did Kids for a Quid.
- West Brom via Groupon did an offer of two tickets for £25.
These are good offers that beat ours. Why can we not be more considerate about this? The club needs to be more proactive in attracting fans. Yes, these are difficult times, but that's where quality club management and business sense comes in.
And why are fans attending less? Well, we can all offer up a few reasons, but does the club know why? Whenever I have changed mobile phone provider or moved bank, I get asked for feedback as to why. This does not happen with Ipswich Town when season ticket holders do not renew. Why not? The customer feedback is vital in developing a business.
And there we return to the facts that we have gone from 9th in the table to bottom whilst our debt doubles.
I have no doubt that the job that Simon Clegg does is extremely difficult. I could not do that role. Indeed, I do applaud him for the way that he has handled Michael Chopra's problems. He has done the right thing in my book and been most supportive.
However, if you are going to sack managers for not making the play-offs, then you need to be something special yourself and producing in other areas. Namely:
- Not allowing expensive players to leave for nothing time and time again.
- Not allowing our attendances to drop considerably.
Some of these may indeed be difficult to manage, but they are roles that the chief executive is paid handsomely for. For such an amount, the contracts of players needs to be far better managed. Our debts should not be as high and programmes need to be developed to entice fans back.
So when considering the original question of was it fair for town fans to chant "Clegg out," perhaps the above should be taken into account.
Simon, if you're reading this, show us that it was wrong to chant Clegg out. Get those attendances back up, sort the players' contracts out and perhaps this will help with the debt that has been built up under your watch.

This is probably my first truly child-centered art project. For some reason I just haven't posted this yet even though we did this at the beginning of June. On the table I placed a box of pine cones, pom poms, feathers, wiggly eyes, assorted beads, fabric flowers, glitter, and plenty of glue. Then I let the kids at it. They could create anything they wanted to. Usually I think they wait for some kind of guidance or direction from me, but this time I just wanted to see what their imaginations would come up with.
Maisy got right to it, she had no fear or reservations on what she was going to create. I think she was just glad to let loose and come up with something totally on her own. And did I mention how much she loved using glue? Before this activity, I hadn't let Maisy apply her own glue. And I guess she didn't realize glue needs to go on before glitter, because all the glitter was dumped out before any glue had been squeezed.
Maisy found a stick in the yard and decided that would be her little guy's arm.
Add another little stick arm and 2 pom poms for eyes (even though I had pulled out the wiggly eyes, no one wanted to use them).
This was Mina's first attempt at glue also, it really had never crossed my mind to let a 2 year-old squeeze her own glue. I'm not really sure what I was afraid of! She had so much fun just applying the glue that I think she would have been happy with glue only on her pine cones.
Then Mina carefully applied the beads she wanted to stick on her pine cone.
The second time around Mina decided that pom poms were the way to go. She covered the pine cone with pom poms - very cute an fluffy!
Being that Lou is 7 now and I have always given her some sort of direction or ending vision to work towards, she wasn't sure where to start with her project. She decided to go with pom poms and feathers to create her little pals.
What beautiful blue eyes, orange nose, and pink mouth this little pine cone pal has! With a little feather accessory on top...
This project was a great learning adventure for me. I realized that I needed to let them enjoy the process of making their creations a little more instead of focusing so much on what the ending product "should" be.Linked to It's Playtime, Art for Little Hands and The Sunday Showcase.

The Census Bureau's attempts to improve how the government measures poverty have unleashed criticism from conservatives who say the move is a bid to politicize America's class struggles.
The new Census measure suggests that the ranks of the poor – at 49 million – are 3 million larger than previously thought. The increase comes in the new way poverty is measured. The new Census report for the first time includes government subsidies and benefits such as food stamps as a part of household income, but it also factors in rising costs, such as health-care expenses. The result creates a new poverty line and a new view of who in the US is poor.
The new threshold for poverty for family of four, for example, is $24,343, as opposed to $22,113. And the revision reveals greater poverty trends among Asians, Hispanics, whites, and the elderly, and declining poverty for blacks and children, who tend to be greater beneficiaries of food stamps.
Sociologists say the new numbers give greater nuance to the portrait of poverty in the US, highlighting the degree to which government programs are keeping struggling Americans afloat. Critics counter the numbers are engineered precisely to make government assistance appear indispensable and to pave the way for a broader redistribution of American wealth toward the poor.
The debate comes at a time when concerns about economic justice are at a high pitch amid ongoing Occupy Wall Street protests around the country, and with Republicans claiming that the Obama administration's efforts to tax millionaires amount to "class warfare."
The Census changes are the first revisions to how the poverty rate is calculated since 1963. Since then, it has been gauged solely by cash income per household. But the new figures give a larger sense of what impact government spending has on poverty, says Timothy Smeeding, an economist at the University of Wisconsin in Madison.
"An awful lot of this is where you set the levels and calculate the level of the poverty line," he says. "But it also reflects the programs that you really care about, that we've been using to fight poverty, including public housing, tax credits," and food stamps.
This plays to attempts by Democrats and the Obama White House to bolster public support for government aid for poorer Americans, critics say, which is why Republicans, if they gain control of Congress next year, would likely work to dismantle the new poverty rate measurement by defunding it.
Critics add that that the new measures make it impossible to shrink poverty rates without ensuring that poor people's wages rise faster than middle-class wages.
"This [new count] is a deliberate deception, a Trojan horse to smuggle the goal of income leveling in under the slogan of poverty," says Robert Rector, a poverty expert at the conservative Heritage Foundation. "The reason they call it poverty instead of income inequality is that there's not a lot of political demand for income equalization in the United States."
A large part of the increase in poverty comes from rising medical costs, the Census Bureau says, which affected the poverty rate jump among older Americans – from 9 percent under the old formula to nearly 16 percent under the new one.
The new figures, tied now more directly to cost of living, also gave insights into the geographical configuration of poverty, showing that the suburbs, the Northeast, and the West are more likely include poor people than under the old system.
But the overall rise in poverty under the new calculations clashes with other analyses of government figures. In fact, 39 states report no changes in the poverty rate even through the depths of the recent recession. An alternate set of data quoted by The New York Times last week showed that the number of poor people didn't grow by 9.7 million people since 2006, as the Census Bureau pointed out in September, but by 4.6 million people.
Moreover, critics say, the US definition of poverty – even before the change – incorporated many people who might not fit the typical image of living in poverty.
Government data not highlighted in the new study show that 60 percent of poor Americans have cable TV, 30 percent have wide screen or plasma TVs, and a majority live in a well-kept house with more square footage than the dwelling space for a middle-class English family.
An overwhelming majority of both Democrats and Republicans in a Rasmussen poll in September said they believe that someone who has adequate housing, air conditioning, cable TV, and a computer in the house – which government data show is typical for a poor family – is, in fact, not poor.
The real poverty rate, by the measurements of Mr. Rector, who helped engineer President Clinton's welfare reform in 1996, is likely closer to 4 percent.
"When the average American thinks about poverty, they're thinking about significant material hardship, where you're living in a boarded up house and your kids are malnourished," he says. "I'm not saying they're living in luxury, but to pretend that [deprivation] is typical of someone in poverty is ridiculous. Those people are an even smaller portion of this new poverty population that's being defined."
Acknowledging the push-back, the Census Bureau added on Monday that the new measure is a "work in progress" and needs to better reflect housing and commuting costs, at least.
Yet quibbling over how to fine-tune the poverty rate misses the central point that economic stress is enveloping ever greater numbers of Americans, says Duke University economics professor William Darity.
"There is no exact way of measuring poverty," he says in an e-mail. "The measures are contingent on how we conceive of and define poverty. Efforts to develop more refined measures have been dominated by researchers who intentionally want to provide estimates that reduce the magnitude of poverty."
"For the Census Bureau to introduce a new measure that shows little change in the incidence of poverty in the midst of the deepest economic crisis since the Great Depression is absurd," he adds. "What we want to capture is the degree of deprivation and economic stress that is being felt by individuals and families – and certainly that has intensified greatly for the worse during the Great Recession."

Luke Sullivan has made a post about trolls, who are internet bullies and cowards after our recent email-chat on the topic. I posted what Luke told me here in The ad hominem attacks on the ad critics: who is allowed an opinion? and went on to ask more people for their thoughts. Johnny called trolls uncreative, Dave Trott called them little children who should be ignored, and in the post where Simon White weighed in a few people posted their non-trolling 2¢ in the comments. Kudos.
Luke says: If you want to post an unpopular opinion, have at it. Sign your name and we'll give you our attention. While I am a strong defender of nyms like most of us have here (those of us who log in). I don't need to know your full given name to listen to your opinion, but if you stray from the topic at hand - the ads - and start yapping about how the writer of the post needs to win more awards or similar, you're no longer worth listening to.
Another thing that tends to come up when we write opinions about the ads that are submitted to us, is that old "what do you know about ads" card. Everyone who steps up on Adland's soap box works in advertising, which means we do know a thing or two about creating ads, but more relevant than that we are consumers. Asking us to STFU with our opinions about ads, is asking the consumer to STFU and just buy shit already. Your job, dear creative, when you made any ad was to convince consumers to get stuff™ and if the ad is rubbing people the wrong way, you missed the mark.
Advertising is almost like art in that it is subjective - when we talk about tone, and execution and even the jokes that are the vehicle for the sell. They are meant to sell something, however, and every target market is different. You can agree, or disagree to your hearts content - if you stick to the topic at hand. The work.
On the topic of vitriol, and noticing that we seem to have so much more of it now, Scott Monty made a good post here: "When did we get so nasty".
And lately, if you've had even a passing glance at any number of topics on the web - Chick-fil-A and their CEO's unfortunate statements, the Olympics (particularly the two athletes who now find themselves banned because of hateful tweets directed against their competitors), or of course anything related to politics that involves two or more political parties - you'll get the sense that rational and emotionally detached debate has completely gone out the window.
Earlier this political season, I remarked on Facebook that instead of levying a constant barrage of attacks, negative commentary and invective at the other candidate, people should try posting something positive about their own candidate
That didn't last long. That was five months ago. And look where we are now.
Just what is it today that makes people think they can get away with being so downright abusive to fellow humans online?
Abusive ad hominem attacks on the people here who share their opinion isn't trolling as per the old-school usenet definition of the word, but is is tiresome. Being abusive twits is all the rage these days, isn't it? Everything needs to be spat out in a 140 char quip, nothing is elaborated upon, and nobody reads past the headline. All my facebook feed ever shows me is partisan jokes with less than 140 chars taking something someone said somewhere out of context and slapping it on a Google-made meme-image. This is how you discuss politics these days? Is that helping you make a choice or are you just digging yourself into a foxhole of LALALALALAIACAN'THEARYOU? We've stopped listening. We'll stop talking. We'll stop learning from each other.

Broad awarded top honor again
For the third straight year, the Broad Institute has been selected by the Boston Globe as one of the "Top Places to Work" in Massachusetts. This honor is an amazing tribute to the entire Broad community and its collaborative spirit.
The newspaper selected 125 organizations for this honor via a survey conducted this summer and featured them in the Globe on November 4 and on boston.com. More than 80,000 people from more than 300 organizations participated in the survey, making the Broad's selection an incredible honor. The Globe's article and website highlight organizations that take care of their people, making sure employees have the opportunities and tools to build strong careers and are able to enjoy a rewarding work life and environment.
The Broad, which was selected as a top place to work in the "large employer" category (250 to 999 people), has received this honor in each of the three years that it has been eligible. Employee comments from the survey illustrate what makes the Broad a top place to work:
• "I feel I am part of an institution that is working to improve health and welfare for all people."
• "I work with intelligent, interesting, nice people and I do something to make the world better. I am happy to come to my job every single day."
• "They provide nice amenities, enriching talks and find a way to hire incredibly fantastic people that work well together to get the job done."
The Globe's special feature also included an article highlighting nine employees from selected companies: "Why these employees love their jobs." One of those nine is our own Mark-Anthony Bray, a computational biologist for the Imaging Platform, who says that he loves his work "because it enables basic scientific research and aids in finding novel therapeutics." He adds that he enjoys the flexibility of his work schedule, which gives him a healthy work-life balance. To learn more about Bray's work, see this previous blog post.
