"The Wolf Hunt is the captivating tale of a woman's journey through the twisted paths of the medieval forests where the everyday is overwhelmed by the supernatural, and where only love and loyalty can keep the darkness at bay. . . and the wolf from your throat. If you love the fables of the medieval world, then this book will enchant you." Sara Douglass
"Bradshaw is one of a few authors who can take a snippet of history at any time in the past and turn it into a novel worth reading . . . . This is a beautifully written, lyrical novel about an often brutal time. Each character is fully realized and the story, as embellished by Bradshaw, is both entertaining and historically accurate. Although the ending is predictable (this is obviously not Bradshaw's doing, but Marie de France's), getting there is all the fun." The Historical Novels Review
"Bradshaw solidly grounds her historical fiction, but still lards it with plenty of fairy-tale excitement. Readers will have no trouble guessing the 'secret' of the wolf, but that doesn't detract from the fun." Publishers Weekly
"Gillian Bradshaw takes an obscure historical footnote and embellishes it into an intricate, multilayered tale." The Romantic Times

Down a bumpy gravel Rd. We were made to feel that we should be grateful of such a place. We were not shown the room. Walked in and found a cockroach crawling on the floor. Killed it. Shower and toilet were in separate rooms and were no more than a cupboard size each. Had to sit sideways on the toilet. Water quality was shocking. Grey silt was sitting in basin and shower floor. It was mixed with the tap water. We were hot and tired and took it, but really it was totally over priced and inadequate. Found another roach the next day. Had to ask for poison and were told that we were on a farm. That's how it is.

Some people think we are just taking cheap shots to try and get in at a little lower price. They just don't want to see the obvious.Look at the trading. Over $1 Billion is moving across the table each day of trading and the stock is declining 1-4%, 4 days out of 5.That is not some retail short manipulating some thinly traded penny stock. This is major funds liquidating 10 to 100 million dollars in BP holdings every day.These boys don't get freaked out over message board posting and they have information from the inside that you will never have....And they have come to the conclusion to liquidate.This should tell you something.

What I will say is that I am a picky so-and-so and, as an example, I recently read Mark Charon Newton's first book (Nights of Viljamur)- didn't like it (dull characters and too many quotes lifted directly from 'The God Delusion', etc) despite other rave reviews, and have given up on various other traditionally published books over recent years despite the time, effort and money spent on publishing them. There was a time I would finish a book even if I found it dull or hated it, I can't do that these days. I just don't have the patience for bad writing or stories that I don't like or don't grip me.
This is self published and is the best fantasy read I have had this year - though Mark Lawrence's Prince & King of Thorns is a close second.
It's not all constant action, it's a slow burn novel (like Robin Hobb and others) but you're always kept interested and the depth of character achieved and the nature and strength of the bond between the 'brothers' is great stuff. There's plenty of intrigue and the authorial 'reveals' along the way as the story unfolds have been paced very well indeed.
Ok, there are a few typos (names spelt wrong and a coma or two missing ...IMHO) but those issues are irrelevent and I forgive the author 100%. This is an amazing effort and a fantastic story.
Thank you, Anthony you have given self publishing a good name!
EDIT - I have the self published version. I see that Mr Ryan has quite rightly been picked up by a traditional publisher now. Quite right too. Well deserved. Comparison to David Gemmell though is something I don't understand. Ryan has his own voice. DG was indeed an Legend and while Ryan might quite enjoy the comparison, I think he stands up perfectly well on the strength of his own efforts.
The first quality of this book is the world-building, and the way it is done almost incidentally, in a seamless way as you read through the book.
You do not get "treated" with pages and pages of glossaries, because the author has accumulated so many characters and names of places that you would be simply lost and confused in the absence of such glossaries. You do however get a few maps: a general one at the beginning, and one blown up section of this general map that corresponds to each of the main parts of the story.
The story of Vaelin Al Sorna is told by one Lord Vernier, a historian and a noble of the Alpirian Empire and each part of the book begins with his account and comments on the events as told by Vaelin. However, each part is followed by a much longer piece that tells what really happened, as opposed to the rather "sanitised" version served by Vaelin to Lord Vernier. This is one of the tricks that keeps the reader engaged and interested all along, at least that is how it worked out for me as I looked out for (the many) discrepancies in the two tales.
The world in which the story is set is that of the Unified Realm, a northern continent made up of what were formally four kingdoms which one of the Kings forcefully unified a few decades before.Read more ›
> The Characters - No black and white heroes/villains or run down cliche's here. Just characters that are all too real, with their own unique personalities, world views and faults. And as they go through deep life experiences, they actually develop! For example, when we first met Nortah, I envisioned him being your typical spoilt, petty brat. Very quickly I was disspelled of that impression - by the end of the book, he was one of my favourite characters. People shouldn't be judged solely based on first impressions, and they can change.
> The Pace - Considering the first 300 or so pages are dedicated to the 'training' section, there are a surprising amount of significant moments, many of which foreshadow later events. It nevers gets boring. Mr Ryan finds a fine balance when building his carefully crafted world, never cramming too much information in, yet not leaving his readers hanging either. It kept my interest, left me wanting more.
> The Intrigue - So many mysteries, large and small, are scattered throughout this novel: from the reason Vaelin was given to the Sixth Order; The Witch's bastard, the One Who Waits, and many questions surroundings the plot and various characters goals and motivations. What I especially enjoy is the fact that many of the answers are within the text before the reveals! Mr Ryan has created a consistent world, where every action makes sense within the context of his world. Learn the rules, then pay close attention.
All in all, a fantastic debut and an excellent start to the Raven's Shadow Trilogy. I will certainly be purchasing the next book, 'Tower Lord'.Read more ›

Amid millions of words being typed out about Sir Alex Ferguson's departure and who could replace him, it would be easy to forget that there's a huge Premier League tie tonight.
Rarely would you see a Chelsea v Tottenham tie - especially one with as much significance as this late-season London nail biter - pushed into the shadows, but it's peeking its head out now and ready to make a bid for newspaper column inches.
Plenty to look forward to, as well, including the return of Andre Villas-Boas to Stamford Bridge and a final home game for Rafa Benitez.
And in player of the year Gareth Bale and a whole host of big names (Azpilicueta), there's plenty to look forward to on the pitch as both sides look to get a top-four finish.
Bring it on.
We're also on David Moyes watch after he met with Everton chairman Bill Kenwright in London earlier this evening.
He's expected at the game tonight to have a closer look at Chelsea, who the Toffees play in the final game.
How many questions will he be getting tonight?
Time for some team news. Chelsea bring in Cahill, Hazard and Torres.
- Cech
- Azpilicueta
- Ivanovic
- Cahill
- Cole
- Ramires
- David Luiz
- Oscar
- Mata
- Hazard
- Torres
And a couple of familiar names on the bench as well:
- Turnbull
- Terry
- Lampard
- Ake
- Moses
- Benayoun
- Ba
And looking to keep things even, AVB has, too, made three changes. Holtby, Adebayor and Parker step up to the metaphorical plate.
- Lloris
- Walker
- Dawson
- Vertonghen
- Assou-Ekotto
- Parker
- Huddlestone
- Lennon
- Bale
- Holtby
- Adebayor
Warming up the bench are:
- Friedel
- Dempsey
- Naughton
- Defoe
- Sigurdsson
- Caulker
- Carroll
Chelsea fans concerned that Sir Alex Ferguson's departure could lead to Special One Jose heading to Manchester can breath out.
John Cross reports that it a mere coincidence that the 71-year-old has called it a day at a time where the Real Madrid boss is looking elsewhere and that Mourinho is still focussed on the Stamford Bridge hot seat.
And Crossy has this to say on Twitter: "At Chelsea v Tottenham. Huge, huge, huge game for THREE London clubs. Chelsea win and they're in top 4. Spurs win massive blow to Arsenal."
Did you hear that? It's HUGE!
The teams are gathering in the tunnel and we're only minutes from getting underway.
It's time to get your AVB touchline mannerisms bingocards at the ready - will we see the squat?
Or perhaps a point towards the goal?
Some final thoughts from John Cross - look away if you're an Arsenal fan.
"My prediction? Away win. Think Chelsea's fixture pile-up may take its toll. Then it really would be interesting..."
Oliver Holt is at the second-biggest football event of the day:
"At the Bridge for Chelsea-Spurs. Strange to think a game this big, this good, will not be leading the news tomorrow. Huge for both sides."
Quiet start with both sides tip-toeing with the ball. Too scared to ruffle the near-perfect turf, perhaps.
And what kind of reception did AVB get?
"PA announcer Neil Barnett urged Chelsea fans to welcome back AVB. They didn't. They booed him. This lot don't like managers. Apart from Jose," says John Cross.
Tottenham's first Premier League win at Stamford Bridge could be quite the response.
SPECIAL JUAN puts one over for Chelsea in the game's first chance.
But it's not long before a second one comes for Oscar, who heads in from all of six inches out. That wasn't in Tottenham's script!
Holtby drags one ever so slightly wide when it looked to have opened up.
Lew thought it was opening up for him, there.
At the other end, Michael Dawson chops down Fernando Torres and Mata almost makes it two from the resulting free-kick, putting it over from a drag back. And there wasn't a Spurs player in sight.
Opta Joe is having a blinder:
"16 - Chelsea have scored more headed goals than any other team in the Premier League this season. Brainiacs."
Meanwhile David Luiz takes one of his dipping free-kicks from hundreds of yards out, but he clobbers it into the wall.
Hazard sends another warning light Tottenham's way with a blistering strike, but Dawson gets his forehead in the way, sending him to ground. It looked destined to go in.
You just don't know what to expect from the Spurs striker, especially when he's bearing down on goal at a gentle pace.
He may have been aiming for the corner flag, but he curls in an absolute beauty into the top corner. Superb strike.
Tottenham's first serious change of the game and they are level.
Ollie Holt's reaction to an Adebayor pearler:
"Stunning equaliser from Adebayor, who runs most of length of pitch and curls 25 yard shot round Cahill, round Cech and into top corner."
What a goal. And Gareth Bale's barely had a touch, yet!
Goal replay - Oscar:
And probably the easiest goal he will ever score, too. Ivanovic's header found the Brazilian at the back post and a simple tap in to give Chelsea the lead.
Little did the Blues know that Adebayor had a worldie up his sleeve a few minutes later.
And it's not taken the Blues long to get back in front - a sublime finish from another Brazilian, Ramires, with a first time strike.
Sky do a dot-to-dot graphic to show a widening gap between Dawson and Vertonghen, suggesting one or the other could be at fault.
Take nothing away from Ramires, though. That was superb.
Lord Sugar delivers his verdict... the back five are fired.
"Terrible defending 2-1 Chelsea. We need Adebayor to do a pirouette overhead fluke that bounces off Bales head and goes into the goal."
Scott Parker tries to do 'an Adebayor', but it goes well over.
And it's half-time. Chelsea two-one up and Spurs struggling to get a foothold.
Time for the player of the year to turn on some second-half charm, you'd think.
And another from Opta Joe. Foul about this one?
"0 - Chelsea did not concede a single foul in the first half versus Tottenham. Pure."
First blood to Chelsea, without a mistimed tackle. Impressive.

Gal Costa
Maria da Graça Costa Penna Burgos, 26 September 1945, Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. Costa is the most illustrious female singer of the tropicália movement, a chameleonic performer who has been equal parts hippie, sex symbol, carnival participant and political activist. From the start of her musical career in the mid-60s, she had some pretty illustrious classmates: Caetano Veloso and Maria Bethânia, who, in turn, introduced her to Gilberto Gil. It was an explosive team, eager to share creative ideas and participate on each others records. When Veloso and Gil chose European exile over Brazils castrating dictatorship, Costa kept the flame alive by performing songs they sent to her. She also kept in touch with the young rockers of the late 60s, recording tunes by artists including Erasmo Carlos and Roberto Carlos. In 1973, the album cover of Costas Índia was censored because the image of the singer in a red bikini was considered...

The 0-1 km mixed layer CAPES will be in the 1000 to 1500 J/kg on Wednesday afternoon and 500 to 1000 J/kg on Thursday afternoon. While the 0-3 and 0-6 km shear are weak across the Upper Mississippi River Valley, there is favorable deep shear west of Interstate 35 in Iowa on Wednesday afternoon. Like yesterday, it continues to look like both the 925 and 850 mb moisture transport will be very weak, precipitable water values be generally less than 1.5 inches, and the warm cloud layer depths only extend up to 3700 feet. As a result, not anticipating any issues with heavy rain. Another short wave trough will move through the region from Friday night into Saturday. This system looks pretty similar to its predecessor. Due to this, not anticipating a severe or flooding threat from this system. Sunday and Monday continue to look dry as an upper level ridge builds across the region. As this occurs, temperatures will warm back into the lower to mid 80s. && .AVIATION...(For the 06Z TAFS through 06Z Tuesday night) Issued at 1107 PM CDT Mon Jul 25 2016 VFR conditions set to continue at LSE and RST into Tuesday evening as high pressure gradually works across the area. About the only real issue will be the potential for some river valley fog around LSE toward sunrise. Current temp/dew point spreads still a little high at this hour but are slowly closing as winds through 2kft remain rather light. If the night was a bit longer, would think the chances are much higher for some dense fog at LSE proper. Instead, suspect that there will be some fog nearby in parts of the Mississippi basin but with only a very low probability for it to meander toward the airport itself. Otherwise, skies should remain mainly clear, but with perhaps a touch of mid and/or high cloud at times into Tuesday afternoon pending the evolution of convection well to our north and west. && .ARX Watches/Warnings/Advisories...

Red Alert euthanisedMarch 8th, 2016 at 7:00 am by David Farrar
The Herald reports:
After years as an internet wasteland, the Labour Party's "Red Alert" blog site looks to have been quietly put out of its misery. Once lauded as the new way for MPs to interact with the public, it soon became a bit of an embarrassment, before being ignored. Now, it appears to be no more.
It started off very well, and I lauded it often. But it lost its way and started to score too many own goals. A pity it wasn't done better as I like the idea of MPs blogging.

Shmuck of the Week
Yes, air travel makes us angry. And as discussed in the previous installment of Shmuck of the Week, airlines like United are often to blame. But in some cases, passengers deserve to carry their share of the baggage for ever-more interesting bouts of air rage.
Christina E. Szele, please report to a white paging telephone.
On June 17, the pilot of a New York-to-Denver JetBlue flight had to land the plane after a flight attendant grabbed a cigarette out of the mouth of a woman who was smoking on board, according to news reports. The most recent account alleged that Szele, 35, of New York first tried to smoke in the lavatory and later lit up in her seat.
The incident led to chaos and confrontation between Szele and several flight attendants that included words like "thrashing," "cursing," "kicking," "screaming," "punching," "stomping" and "hurling" (of racial slurs), according to the story.

A report from the Comic-Con 2016 Trek Talk panel "Star Trek and NASA Boldly Go."
A report from San Diego Comic-Con on "Star Trek" superfan and museum founder Huston Huddleston.
"American Beauty" is a comedy because we laugh at the absurdity of the hero's problems. And a tragedy because we can identify with his failure--not the specific details, but the general outline.
The movie is about a man who fears growing older, losing the hope of true love and not being respected by those who know him best. If you never experience those feelings, take out a classified ad. People want to take lessons from you.
Lester Burnham, the hero of "American Beauty," is played by Kevin Spacey as a man who is unloved by his daughter, ignored by his wife and unnecessary at work. "I'll be dead in a year," he tells us in almost the first words of the movie. "In a way, I'm dead already." The movie is the story of his rebellion.
We meet his wife, Carolyn (Annette Bening), so perfect her garden shears are coordinated with her footwear. We meet his daughter Jane (Thora Birch), who is saving up for breast implants even though augmentation is clearly unnecessary; perhaps her motivation is not to become more desirable to men, but to make them miserable about what they can't have.
"Both my wife and daughter think I'm this chronic loser," Lester complains. He is right. But they are not without their reasons. At an agonizing family dinner, Carolyn plays Mantovanian music that mocks every mouthful; the music is lush and reassuring, and the family is angry and silent. When Lester criticizes his daughter's attitude, she points out correctly that he has hardly spoken to her in months.
Everything changes for Lester the night he is dragged along by his wife to see their daughter perform as a cheerleader. There on the floor, engrossed in a sub-Fosse pompon routine, he sees his angel: Angela (Mena Suvari), his daughter's high-school classmate. Is it wrong for a man in his 40s to lust after a teenage girl? Any honest man understands what a complicated question this is. Wrong morally, certainly, and legally. But as every woman knows, men are born with wiring that goes directly from their eyes to their genitals, bypassing the higher centers of thought. They can disapprove of their thoughts, but they cannot stop themselves from having them.
"American Beauty" is not about a Lolita relationship, anyway. It's about yearning after youth, respect, power and, of course, beauty. The moment a man stops dreaming is the moment he petrifies inside and starts writing snarfy letters disapproving of paragraphs like the one above. Lester's thoughts about Angela are impure, but not perverted; he wants to do what men are programmed to do, with the most beautiful woman he has ever seen.
Angela is not Lester's highway to bliss, but she is at least a catalyst for his freedom. His thoughts, and the discontent they engender, blast him free from years of emotional paralysis, and soon he makes a cheerful announcement at the funereal dinner table: "I quit my job, told my boss to - - - - himself and blackmailed him for $60,000." Has he lost his mind? Not at all. The first thing he spends money on is perfectly reasonable: a bright red 1970 Pontiac Firebird.
Carolyn and Jane are going through their own romantic troubles. Lester finds out Carolyn is cheating when he sees her with her lover in the drive-through lane of a fast-food restaurant (where he has a job he likes). Jane is being videotaped by Ricky (Wes Bentley), the boy next door, who has a strange light in his eyes. Ricky's dad (Chris Cooper) is a former Marine who tests him for drugs, taking a urine sample every six months; Ricky plays along to keep the peace until he can leave home.
All of these emotional threads come together during one dark and stormy night, when there is a series of misunderstandings so bizarre they belong in a screwball comedy. And at the end, somehow, improbably, the film snatches victory from the jaws of defeat for Lester, its hero. Not the kind of victory you'd get in a feel-good movie, but the kind where you prove something important, if only to yourself.
"American Beauty" is not as dark or twisted as "Happiness," last year's attempt to shine a light under the rock of American society. It's more about sadness and loneliness than about cruelty or inhumanity. Nobody is really bad in this movie, just shaped by society in such a way they can't be themselves, or feel joy.
The performances all walk the line between parody and simple realism; Thora Birch and Wes Bentley are the most grounded, talking in the tense, flat voices of kids who can't wait to escape their homes. Bening's character, a real estate agent who chants self-help mantras, confuses happiness with success--bad enough if you're successful, depressing if you're not.
And Spacey, an actor who embodies intelligence in his eyes and voice, is the right choice for Lester Burnham. He does reckless and foolish things in this movie, but he doesn't deceive himself; he knows he's running wild--and chooses to, burning up the future years of an empty lifetime for a few flashes of freedom. He may have lost everything by the end of the film, but he's no longer a loser.
This movie is trying to kill these women, but they endure.

The Litter of the Law (Mass Market Paperbound)
On Our Shelves Now
Rita Mae Brown collaborates with feline co-author Sneaky Pie Brown in a mystery starring Mary Minor Harry Haristeen, the curious cat detectives Mrs. Murphy and Pewter, and Tee Tucker, the valiant crime-solving corgi. Halloween arrives early this year to rural central Virginia, when a twisted killer will stop at nothing to protect a multimillion-dollar scheme.
Autumn has descended and crops are being harvested all over Crozet, Virginia, ideal conditions for a scenic drive for Harry and husband Fair. Bucolic views are all well and good, but Harry's nose for trouble leads her straight to a cornfield's macabre scarecrow an all too real murder victim that frightens all but the noisy crows.
This accountant's gruesome death is only the first of many disturbing events in this normally pastoral corner of the world. While Harry tends her beloved grapes and sunflowers, a killer edges closer as does Harry's protective menagerie of animals.
Halloween's approach brings with it bona fide terror and a beloved local tradition that threatens to become fatal. Rooting out the guilty in the treacherous center of a lucrative conspiracy requires Harry's farmer's wisdom along with the quick wits and extraordinary senses of Sneaky Pie, Pewter, and Tucker. A vicious murderer may know the lay of the land far better than Harry does, but that's about to change. It's up to her vigilant four-footed companions to make sure that the unearthing of this plot is not Harry's last act.

Do I have to buy two licenses of the plugin to test it on the staging/development version of a website?
Do I have to buy two licenses of the plugin to test it on the staging/development version of a website?
Nope :) Just make sure the FREE one works before you upgrade to premium.
But I am limited to the options in the free version right. I need to be able to use the plugin to display social media feeds from Facebook, IG, and Twitter on one page.
If you use only the free version you are limited. If you use the premium version along with FREE vs you get all the options plus you can use on development and staging.
@slickremix...I am purchasing right now brother..thanks for replying immediately.
@slickremix, I uploaded the premium version to my staging site and now i can't even access my staging site. :(
Had any of these problems before?
Not sure exactly the steps you took but it should go like this. Upload FREE version and activate, then add premium version and activate. You must have the FREE version installed and activated to run the premium version.
If you are having problems accessing your admin, go to the premium plugin through your FTP or hosting control and deleted the premium plugin. That should give you access again.
Side note: @slickremix? Please avoid conversations including the "premium" version in these forums.
Commercial products and questions about them should be directed toward your site and taken elsewhere. Those are not supported in these forums.

I am using the columnal(http://www.columnal.com/) responsive grid framework and am trying to create a vertical divider line in between columns that will stay centered in the right margin as the viewport is resized.
I have tried a couple of solutions using background images and pseudo elements but neither has been successful. The right margin is used by the columnal framework so this can't be used as part of the solution which is why I think a vertically repeating background image or pseudo element is required.
I am also trying to avoid using additional html elements in the code, I would like to keep this as clean as possible. However if that's the only solution, then so be it.
Here's the HTML:

I want a vertical divider line to appear in the centre of the margin to the right of this grey box ->

If you don't see columns to the right re-size this window to make it bigger.

This example uses the Columnal responsive framework

Solution could be using a repeating image, pseudo elements or something else. I would like to avoid using additional html if possible. Solution should preferably be css applied to the 'vertical_divider' class.

and here's the CSS:
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
.content {
/* Solution preferably applied to this class */
.vertical_divider {
I've put it up as fiddle here which also includes a little more explanation:

Post trial you can continue using your studio for free scriptwriting.
Syncing issues with Studio I tried creating a new project in the app and see how it syncs with studio. I was able to save to studio, but if I update or make changes in the browser using Studio, I can't sync it with the app on my tablet. Everytime I try openning the updated project from Studio in the app, the app simply opens the old local version without updating. Please fix the syncing issue.
Do not download!! Be warned!! This app will delete what you write down! Not useful in the slightest. I've downloaded this app twice. Both times it has deleted ALL of my scripts! Even with having an email attached. Sometimes I would use it to write down important information for things other than scripts and now I no longer have it. I am furious with this app and hope no one downloads it.
No export option & randomly Deletes Scripts And the Celtx joke continues. Beware! There seems to be no export option. Not to pdf. Not to text. Unless you want to write something and only read it off of a phone/tab this is a pretty useless app. EDIT: All those comments are true. It DELETED my scripts. However knowing, from the comments, about how terrible this app is, I had written only test scripts. Guys, better off writing on a Notepad & then taking it to computer to format. AVOID THIS!
It messed up my script. if you don't keep up on your script consistently using this app, the cloud messes your script up. I downloaded the desktop app on my laptop and when I loaded my script from the cloud it was written with spelling errors a bunch of G's and stuff. and my laptop that I had before this one was stolen and I never backed up the PDF of the script I had on there so I gotta fix my entire script
Great app. I've used this writing software for years, it's fab. However, it's glitchy. Several times I've had to delete duplicated parts of my script. Please sort this issue out, I thought it was my phone and have taken steps to help the problem to no avail.
Crashes often. The app is perfect except for when it crashes. I've had the app for about a week and it has crashed four times in that week. I save my work after every break between action and dialogue so I won't lose too much if it crashes, but that's a bit of a nuisance. That's the only problem I've had with it.
What's New
Celtx Script 3.0.9
-More bug fixes
Celtx Script 3.0.8
-Bug fixes
-Added support for two-factor authentication
-Fix soft keyboard not shown on resume of script editor

Oxford University Volleyball Club is happy to announce that the Inter-college volleyball will take place this Trinity Term.
For more info visit http://www.ouvc.net/league/information/
Finishing first in the league with no match lost, M1 confidently went to Sheffield to face Northumbria 2nds in this year's BUCS Trophy finals. In a match dominated by the dark blues, they managed to turn a great season into a golden one. After winning 3-0 (25-13,25-19,25-10), captain Jonas Pollex commented: "I'm glad we could show a strong performance today, when it really mattered. This is the result of the hard work this great team puts into every match and every training session. I am proud to be their captain."
The team is now going to celebrate its victory and then taking a week off to relax after a stressful season. Then however, they will have to focus on their preparation for the Premier League play offs, which will take place at the end of April. A video of the match can be found below.
This Saturday, it was finally time for Varsity 2016. After weeks of preparation, all the teams from Oxford and Cambridge were keen to go on court and find out who will take home the trophies this year. The women's second team starting the tournament at 9:30am, and this was the only time Oxford would have to concede defeat. Despite Oxford putting up a good fight, Cambridge 2nds proved to be the stronger side and won 3:0. In the second match of the day, Oxford men's 2nd managed to take revenge for last year's loss and beat Cambridge 3:1.

text: Did Beyoncé Yell at Kim Kardashian in Philadelphia Last Weekend?Caity Weaver9/06/12 3:25pmFiled to: Celebrity FeudsRumor MillBeyoncekim kardashianGettypic59EditInvite manuallyPromoteDismissUndismissHideShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink For as long as Man has possessed the infinite gift of language, he has used his tool to wonder aloud: Are Beyoncé and Kim Kardashian friends?According to whispers about backstage shenanigans at Jay-Z's Made in America Festival in Philadelphia ("The New York of the East") last weekend, the answer, at last: Aw hale no. Advertisement The New York Daily News reports that a source confirms the two "barely spoke to each other" and didn't even acknowledge one another until the concert was nearly over. And you know they both knew the other one was around. Beyoncé knew Kim was there because Kim's boyfriend Kanye West was appearing as Jay-Z's special guest. Kim knew Beyoncé was there because people kept walking up and asking her to take pictures of them with Beyoncé. Sponsored The NYDN quotes a second source as saying that, though Kim and Queen Bey eventually had a brief, uncomfortable chat in a dressing room, "…you could tell Kim was uncomfortable. She clung onto Kanye the entire time and didn't say much." Naturally, the website Radar, which would rather craft an elaborate, dreamy fiction than have anyone walk away bored, has a better story about the Kardashian Konfrontation. According to them, Beyoncé was irked at the fact that Kim kept throwing herself, Lucy Ricardo style, into the line of vision of director Ron Howard, who was on site filming a documentary about the festival because all celebrities know one another. Quoth a Radar source, who uses phrases like "movie maverick" in every day conversation: Advertisement "[Kim] kept saying she was a huge fan of Ron Howard and would do anything to be cast in one of his films, so [she] was using this as an opportunity to impress the movie maverick." "To be or not to be…" began Kim, holding a grapefruit aloft and glancing over her shoulder to see if Ron Howard was watching, while, in a corner, Beyoncé fumed. Eventually, Beyoncé, the Mom Kim Kardashian never had, got so fed up with her pulling on Ron Howard's sleeve and demanding "Watch me tap dance, Mr. Howard! Shuffle ball change, paradiddle, paradiddle, stomp!" that she stormed over and reminded Kimberly that everything's not always about her—and that she needed to cool it. "She took Kim to one side and told her that the day wasn't about her, it was about Jay-Z, his work in organizing the event and there were other celebrities and musicians there that needed coverage too." Following the exchange, Radar reports that Kim phoned up her Cool Friend Kris, who gave birth to her but hates rules and loves texting, to complain about how Mr. Howard will never put her in a show at the Tropicana now that Beyoncé ruined everything. "Later that night, Kim phoned her mom Kris to complain about the harsh treatment she thought she got at the festival. She just isn't used to not getting what she wants." Radar adds that Jay-Z stepped in to ask Beyoncé to not be mean to Kim because she's dating Kanye right now and how long could that possibly last. Thus ends another episode of Degrassi: A Hip Hopera.

When we I pulled up to the main entrance - the valets opened the car doors after which we ran a gauntlet of 3 or 4 people on each side of the path to the front doors welcoming us to The Sanctuary - at the large main entrance doors each was pulled open by a staff member as we approached - and once in the lobby another 2 or 3 staff welcomed us again and directed us to the registration desk. My wife commented that it felt as though we were entering Downton Abbey. Our concerns that the place would be stuffy or pretentious were laid to rest in short order.
This is simply one of the best run properties I have ever had the pleasure of visiting (with prices that are not shy about reflecting that level of excellence). The room was spacious and gracious - with a breathtaking view of the ocean from the balcony.
Restaurants were all very good to excellent. Golf courses fabulous. Poolside service was excellent (and they have a separate 18 and older pool area and hot tub which is a nice touch).
The staff are all top-notch. A small example of their attention to detail ... one afternoon upon returning to the room after housekeeping had been in, we noticed that the scrap of paper my wife had been using as a bookmark in her novel had been replaced with a beautiful tasseled Sanctuary bookmark (her scrap of paper saved in the front of the book).

I bought this tv from Costco on 12/2/08 and it has been working in the same room since then ( 6 months). About a month ago I started to notice that it wasn't turning OFF on the first go and it was taking 3 - 4 presses to work. I figured it's a cheap remote from Vizio so I bought a new universal remote and that seemed to work fine for 1 month THEN it started to behave erractically. I would select HDMI ( from Cable) and it would just keep cycling through hdmi1 hdmi2 hdmi3 then back to hdmi1 and keep going. I tried the VIZIO remote same deal, then I tried the physical side panel on the right same thing. WHen I turned the thing off manually ( side panel worked ) I would then be able to select the HDMI properly BUT it's a real pain to alter the specs in the menu ( ie change from standard to golf ) or alter the backlight etc. That way. If I use either remote it does it's cycling thing. As another example if I want to change the channel on either remote I hit 3, say, and the display will then read 33333. This happens never mind whether it's the universal or the Vizio. Has anyone else had this happen???? Please remember that it worked fine for 6 months and NOTHING has changed in the room. I can't take it back and Vizio have replaced the motherboard and the IR receiver. I am looking for anyone else that has seen this issue and what Vizio did to resolve it.

I bought this phone in late March - it is now mid July. I take great care of it, and I don't have a bunch of extra apps (email and facebook are really about it). I haven't had the phone for a full four months yet, and I already want to replace it. At first it was great, but it began to go downhill very quickly. It is incredibly slow. Rather than taking seconds to read a text message, it takes minutes. Forget about replying to said text unless you have some time on your hands. In recent weeks it has also begun freezing. I can't use the phone at all (not even to unlock it) unless I physically take the battery own and force it to restart, which I'm sure is not good for it. It's particularly frustrating because nothing happened to it -- no drops, no spills, nothing. It's just a bad phone. I love the monthly savings that come along with Straight Talk, but this is my second bad phone. I'm starting to wonder if I'm really saving money if I have to keep replacing phones.
I got this phone as a graduation gift from my parents. I really wanted a smart phone but didn't have the money to buy one or the monthly payments. I decided to go with this pre-paid smartphone and it's more than I ever wanted! It's fast, responsive, and the screen is awesome! My friends always think its an iPhone from a distance. However, since this phone connects to Sprint towers (I believe), I would recommend using this phone if you live in larger cities or if you know your town has good reception with Sprint. It's good where I live now, but it's completely useless if I visit my family and friends that do live in smaller towns. Also the battery life is not that impressive. I get that it's a smartphone and it uses a lot of battery but it's getting to the point where even in the middle of a day I'm down to 20% battery life. I am happy with this phone, but I feel that I will probably upgrade phones after a year.
I've been with Straight Talk for a few years now and I got this phone about a year ago, with it being my first smartphone, I was pretty excited about what I could do with it and some of its great features! The first couple of months were great and I was really excited about it. Then after that it would randomly restart, which was annoying but I dealt with it. Now after a year of having it I have to get a new phone because of all its problems. Apps and function such as the camera crash or freeze and I have to force close them just about every time. The battery life last about 2 hours with minimal use and I have to take my charger with me everywhere I go. When I do place it on the charger it spazzes out like it has a mind of its own, sliding the screens and opening apps and closing them back out. It freezes, I don't get some messages that are sent to me, and its just a pain to deal with at this point. Which is disappointing after all that money and only a years worth of use. Save yourself time and hassle and get a different phone if you plan on keeping it for a while.
I've had Straight Talk for a few years now and knew I needed to get upgrade my phone to a smartphone. I choose this one after wanting a querty keyboard because I hate using the phone vertically for texting.... I bought the phone around tax time and it worked like a dream. I chalked up the overheating to my over use of a phone that was well over needed. It worked great with gaming apps I wanted and even allowed me to download Pandora so I could listen to it at work with decent sound quality. Then about 2 weeks after I got the phone I ended up dropping it x3 in 1 day at work.... Of course the 3rd time cracked the screen. I still decided to preserve because I didn't want to go back to my backup phone.... Flash forward to the middle of last month (so about 2 months of using this phone with cracks on the screen) I'm working and go to turn off the music and I find that the screen is now barely visible! So now I have to send back the phone and am waiting to buy another one...... Overall I would recommend this phone... Just be careful not to over use it.
I've read many bad reviews about this phone and some of them I just don't understand. I don't have any problems with the battery running low quicklyor it taking forever to charge and I have A TON of Apps and things that would be sucking it dry. Maybe they just got a defective phone I guess. I used to have the LG Optimus Logic and the upgrade to this is mind blowing. So much space! I haven't even put a dent in it yet. Finally no more dark and fuzzy pictures. The camera on this is awesome. The screen is so big a bright even with the brightness set low. It's fast and it's just great for me. It's definitely worth the money. I wish I had upgraded sooner. I'm in phone heaven right now.
So far so good. The camara is AWESOME!!! the battery life is AMAZING!!!!! The memory is GREAT!!!! all of these words cannot describe this phone. Prior to me getting this phone I had the ZTE Merrit, which held no memory, no battery life. This Phone is a nice look. The weight is perfect, the size is perfect. It actually resembles an Iphone 4. The only thing I find negative is its kind of hard finding a cell phone face/cover for it. But I am pretty sure with time, and internet access that would be in the making of locating one. Wheter its on Ebay or somewhere else.
Blue map on the front of the box means "AT&T" network. Ordered because a review said it was on the Verizon network. Buyer beware.
Pros: beautiful screen, fast
Cons: no drive mode or text to speech, voice commands inconsistent (and I speak pretty clearly), notification light useless, older version of Android If you want to use this for gaming and web surfing, great. But if you want to use it as a phone it has some major drawbacks. There is NO "drive mode" on this phone. Drive mode enables you to have the phone read you caller ID and text messages so you don't have to look at the phone when your driving. You also can't have it auto-respond to texts, so you can't notify anyone that you're driving and can't read your messages. Hands-free is the law in CA and I now have to search for an app that will handle these for me. The Galaxy S3 has drive mode and so do older LG flip phones, so it's been left off deliberately. Not such a smart move for a smart phone. Also, the notification light is around the power button (not on the front like most) and it only blinks once every 30 seconds, so be sure to keep staring...
Honest to God I had the phone for that LONG! Three years with NO problems. I bought the screen plastic and dropped a million times. It never shatter! Its like same condition. The problem is that the battery is used up fast when I use Yahoo application. It could be the battery is THREE years old! I am upgrading but I say this phone is WORTH it and its great when you need a back up or a phone you want to get first or good for older people who are afraid of these type of phones. When I get an upgrade phone an iPhone. I will use my old phone as a back up cause I can depend on it. I kid you not And when I see people look at it. I stop and share how great the phone is. This is the BEST phone I ever had. I had a vrigin phone that survives a washer machine.. I am not gonna test my LG phone. LOL
Bought this for my son. He really wanted an Iphone, but they are just crazy expensive. This phone gives him everything he needs. He loves it and I do also.
I am not into apps, toys, and facebook. I use the phone for business so I am most concerned about call quality, internet speed, e-mails, and GPS when I fly into a new airport and rent a car. Best I've had for all of these things. My work is frequently outside in the sun and the screen does pretty well with that. The camera is good. I get sharp pictures that I can enlarge. But mostly this phone is fast. I often need to research a topic on the internet in the field, and this phone saves me time. Also, the screen is very sharp. I can enlarge the screen to look at drawings and maps and still retain resolution. The SD card is good also. I can put each client on a separate card and reference documents as I need them. It is becoming an essential feature for me. The music is okay on long airplane rides, but its a phone, not an audio system, so I don't expect much. The SD card is good for music, also. I put each genre on a different card and switch as my mood changes. So this phone works very well for me.
This is my first smart phone, so I'm not able to compare it with any others. However, as time goes by I am finding more and more that I can do with this great phone. The screen is large and easy to read. It is fairly user friendly and I am having fun with it. I can take great photos (and edit them too) and videos, then send them to my gmail account. I can check out my face book account easily and keep in touch with friends. There are plenty of other features I haven't even used yet. It is easy to find my contact and set up speed dial on the touch screen.
I bought this phone for my daughter. It has more than met her needs, and she loves it. The only problem is that at least several times a week it will freeze and the only way to unfreeze it is to take the back off and take the battery out and then restart it. I don't if that's a typical problem or not. maybe we just got a bad unit. It is irritating though. Other than that it's a great phone.
I previously used the Samsung Galaxy Proclaim. Though the Optimus has some extra features, the phone is a poor performer.
Often, I find that the phone has turned itself off.
Each time you turn the phone off for any reason, you must go to the 'date and time' feature and reset the time. If you do not, within a short while, it will set itself to the time zone of origen. For me, that is a five hour difference.
Many times in making a call, though I tap the phone to proceed, nothing happens. I might have to try 8 or 10 times. I have sometimes given up, only to finally hear the person answer when I'm not prepared.
There are other concerns but this should be enough for anyone looking for a decent performer. Try another model.
I bought this phone for my nineteen year old daughter with the straight talk bundle and she is loving it. Thank you for a smart and affordable product. She is loving all the amazing features. Wonderful phone!
I've been with Straight Talk for quite a few years and have gone through several phones. This is an awesome phone, truly a smartphone. It uses Verizon towers, so make sure you have coverage in your area. I'm thrilled with it. It's very easy to use. I highly recommend it.
This is a nice phone if you a way to charge several times throughout the day, even after shutting apps down manually. It has a nice size screen, and many apps compatible. I have T-mobile version of this phone (GSM) on family mobile, other than having to charge it A LOT. I have enjoyed this phone, I just don't let it get below 50% battery life. Takes to long to recharge it if you do. When I'm on WIFI I plug it in. It does has an sd card slot and the Instien kit I purchased worked well. I bought extra battery's on e-bay for this phone and swap them throughout the day. Wanted to try the extended life but decided to give this to my son and have moved to the moto g under Verizon.
There were some key features missing on this phone for example the swipe to text and voice to text translation that I want if I have an android. I took this back the same day I bought it. The back is also not glass like a lot of these comments mention. It is plastic and the edges surrounding the back are like paper cut-sharp hard to explain I just was not happy at all. This phone was no match compared to my Husbands Samsung Galaxy Showcase which he also bought for $250.00. Basically keep looking if you expect everything from your android, this phone doesn't hold up
I bought this phone for my daughter after buying one for myself. Great phone, good speed, functions well, and would recommend to others.
A few weeks ago Mr and my fiancé decided I could get a new phone.
So I go on Walmart .com and I order the first phone which sprint was a Samsung precedent.
I was so excited to get it! When I got it, the phone had no service at all, I guess the phone went off a
Sprint tower (there aren't any sprint towers close enough to my area) so I took it back to Walmart. My second phone was this phone....with that being said I turned it on....no service...then I used my fiancé phone to call straight talk, I guy who "helped" me told me my number wasn't active Amy more and that the phone went off a sprint tower..... Once again there is not a sprint tower close to my are, so I went back to Walmart, got my money back...again... Then actually bought a phone from the store...the only problem is, straight talk forced me to get a new number because the one before my accend plus "lost my number" so my number was no longer a straight talk number......but now im happy with my accend plus. The other two phones were all in all cool phones I loved the features on them but from experience if never order another phone off line I'll just wait till they get one in the store.
