After what Zeeland officials are calling a good turnout for the city's first-ever spring�Peddlers Market in May, a fall version is being planned.
Kerri VanDorp, the city's events coordinator, said many of the 30 vendors at May's show expressed delight with sales. The markets are among more than a dozen events city officials have planned this summer, aimed at family fun while boosting downtown foot traffic.
The Peddlers Market is a juried show devoted to showcasing�vintage furniture�and d�cor, household goods�and gifts, architectural salvage, farm to table treats, fresh flowers�and botanicals, repurposed finds, handmade specialties, artwork, apparel and accessories. Vendor product prices should be between $1 and $250. Shoppers will also find farm-to-table food and can buy beverages and drinks as they browse.
Dubbed by planners as "An Artfully Curious Faire," the market is set outside,�on Main Avenue, between Elm and�Church streets. The deadline to apply is Aug. 1; vendors will be notified of acceptance by Aug. 18. Vendors accepted to the markets pay a non-refundable $50 fee for a 15-by-15-foot space and must provide their own tables, chairs, tents and signs, according to the application.
Zeeland's�Fall Peddlers Market is set for 2-8 p.m. Sept. 6, a Saturday. For details, email Kerri VanDorp at email@example.com, call (616) 772-6400, ext. 2252, or visit feelthezeel.com.

text: A Geeky Tribute to the Late Bea ArthurJack Loftus4/26/09 11:00amFiled to: Tributebea arthuractingFuturamaComputersStar Wars29EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Call it a stretch all you want, but today I was wracking my brain trying to figure out ways to pay tribute to Bea Arthur on a gadget blog. I think I've figured it out.With a little help from an earlier tribute by Neatorama, I learned about, and will bring to you, two geektastic clips from her seven decade career. Advertisement The first clip comes to us from the 1978 Star Wars Holiday Special, one of the four black marks George Lucas bestowed on the franchise (the others being Episodes 1-3 in their entirety). Bea Arthur played Ackmena, the singing nightshift bartender at Chalmun's Cantina on Tatooine. The second clip is from Futurama. Arthur played Femputer, the computer leader of a tribe of Amazonian women who didn't care much for men (See? A man-hating computer—that's a gadget, right?) Advertisement Sure, she'll be remembered mostly for her role on Golden Girls, but it was nice to see Bea Arthur let her geek flag fly once in a while too. RIP. [Neatorama]

i just finished the series. 13eps. of it.
it's not bad series i guess but i found the main character (kei) EXTREMELY annoying. at least his voice. jeeezzuss...like fingernails on the chalkboard for me. whiny SOB. ending seemed trite and tacked on just to get a quick "happy ending." |

Watching the opening, I keep getting the feeling that the series was meant to be a Hentai/Bishoujo Game.
And the series wasn't that bad. I liked the thirteenth because of the eechiness. Though there seemed to be WAY too many coincidences of Kei's friends showing up when he was making a connection with Mizuho. |

yea, i liked this series except for the main character. Kei is just so whiny and annoying, he reminds me of strongsad from Homestarrunner.com (omg that was the worst analogy ive ever made). I liked the main character from the second one, Onegai Twins, better.

just watching 3eps of it, i can already tell i'm probably going to like "twins" better than "teacher." nice to see they're interconnected somewhat.
the lunar subs have his name as "maiku" but maybe it should be "michael" ("maikuru?") oh well, whatever. |

Why did you call it Onegai Sensei? It's Onegai Teacher (with the word "Teacher" spelled out in katakana). This form of the title is completely incorrect.
I haven't seen the show so I can't comment on it.

after finishing twins, i'm left a little clueless. ending speech @ the end of the eps. ED is the closer to finding out if all of them are related?
okay.... btw, i don't think i gave anything away to either series but i don't know how to do the "spoiler highlight" thing either... |

Onegai Teacher was really good, i loved Mizuki(if i remember the name correct).
They did some really nice animation, and the soundtrack was very good. I dont understand why so many people disliked Onegai Twins, I thinks its almost better than teacher, and it has even greater music |

Saw Twins before Teacher, but really enjoyed both immensely. Although there are some similarities, they're really two different shows. Good romance/drama/comedies all around, and highly recommended (at least by me)! I'm definitely going to watch them again, and Teacher is worth having on DVD (I hope Twins comes out also).

Where exactly does Onegai Techer, and Onegair Twins take place.
I mean it's obvious it's in Japan, but the valley and lake it takes place by looks more like my home town in BC, Canada than something you'd find in Japan. Does anyone know if it's supposed to be a real town in Japan or if it's a fictitious one? |

Before the Animesuki board was reset, there was a couple of threads on this.
The sites appear to be in Nagano Prefecture, Honshu. Most sites (at least around Maiku's house) are at Lake Kizaki and Omachi City. And while I'm not 100% sure, I think the school is in Matsumoto. Here's a site with photo comparisons of real vs anime: http://www5d.biglobe.ne.jp/~kazeyama...o/one2sato.htm Ane here's maps and more pictures of the area: http://j-music.fuzzy2.com/onetei/00kizakiko_bgm.html It probably doesn't look typical because it's a resort area. |

A fire broke out abroad a Royal Caribbean cruise ship en route to the Bahamas, and a passenger says he was awakened in his cabin by a crew member who told him to grab his flotation device.
Mark J. Ormesher said in an email Monday that the Grandeur of the Seas crew member told him and his girlfriend that it wasn't a drill. Ormesher says he smelled acrid smoke.
Ormesher posted about the event on Facebook and emailed detail to The Associated Press.
Royal Caribbean says the fire occurred on the mooring area of deck 3 about 2:15 a.m. Monday and was quickly extinguished. Passengers and crew members reported to evacuation stations. No injuries were reported.
The ship had sailed from Baltimore on Friday. It has arrived in Freeport, Bahamas.

Five abducted foreign nationals from Tanzania, Nigeria and Kenya were recovered Tuesday during a raid in Pakistan's troubled Baluchistan province, police said.
"They were recovered during a raid in Overseas colony and they were chained inside a house," district police officer Bashir Brohi said.
Brohi said the raid was conducted in Kech district after receiving an intelligence report.
Background of the recovered persons - who belonged to Tanzania, Nigeria and Kenya - was being verified.
Brohi stated that two foreign nationals were abducted in 2012, two in 2013 and one was kidnapped in 2014, most probably from Pakistan's largest city Karachi.
District Kech is considered to be one of the sensitive districts of Baluchistan as separatists and insurgents have been operating in the area for more than a decade.

'The Real Housewives of New Jersey' Recap: Emotions in the Woods
Sunday, August 12, 2012
Carla Patton
Writer, BuddyTV
Add as BuddyTV Friend »
Last week, the Napa trip began, but it was a little boring. Everyone was getting along and touching each other's boobs. It's really looking like the New Jersey folks can't hack it in the RVs, though. After goofing around, drinking in the parking lot for a bit, the guys decide to go surfing. There's a bit of business about shark attacks and so on, and then the willing shoved their bodies into wet suits and hit the waves.
Melissa opted to stand in her bedazzled bathing suit and keep it sexy, while Teresa and Kathy decided to give surfing a shot. Teresa got a bit competitive in the surf, according to Jacqueline. I don't think it was anything. Teresa jumped off the board and hurt her foot, then forgot about it. Everyone was getting along.
The Joes flashed each other their wieners, Teresa complained about her ankle, Juicy Joe almost admitted to showing his penis to other women. Melissa and Teresa are hitting the boxed wine, and Kathy walks in to try to tell Teresa that her ankle is swollen.
"Tre, it's swollen! It's swollen," Kathy tries to tell her. They giggle and put blankets on to head outside. Outside, everyone argued about whether or not the Golden Gate Bridge was special, or made of gold. Then they played Truth or Dare, and Joe Gorga never turns down a dare. Albie chose Truth, and Lauren asked him if he was afraid that the siblings would be separated in the future. That is awkward, but Teresa's foot/ankle injury interrupts the awkwardness.
They wrap Teresa's foot, and Jacqueline's sadness about it makes Teresa sad. They miss the friendship they once enjoyed. And Teresa misses wearing the boots she once enjoyed before her foot was wrapped.
The next day, on the ride, we discover a few things. Melissa has fake boobs, so does Teresa. Chris and Jacqueline had sex in the RV. Then Albie took a call from his girlfriend Lindsey, who let it slip that she just finished moving boxes into his/their apartment. Oops, everyone was listening. Busted. Lauren was in the other RV, so she doesn't know yet.
The Gorga/Giudice RV is disappointed to see that the Golden Gate Bridge is red, not gold. They determine that there's nothing special about it.
Chris tells Lauren about Lindsey over the walkie talkie, and Lauren admits in a confessional that she feels if they could replace her with their new friends, they would. That's an odd attitude to have, but it seems a common one.
They drive through a winding road in the woods, and everyone freaks out. They're scared of the woods, and camping, and the air. They stop in to a mini-mart and, after being appalled at its lack of produce, treat it as their own Camping World Part 2, just buying whatever their eyes fall upon.
For dinner, the campers are grilling. They still made it happen without any fresh produce. Lauren said something to Vito that caused Albie to note that he would break up with Lindsey if she started acting like that. Chris tells his sister to go to #3, the Wakile's RV where she's been hanging out, and she gets super butthurt about it. She storms off, and everyone tells her she's over-sensitive. Caroline stands up for her sons, and everyone laughs a bit. I don't think they were laughing AT her, they were just having a good time, but Lauren was getting pissed at all the joking around. She locks herself in the Wakile RV. Caroline notices that Lauren sort of got lost in the shuffle.
The horrible group, the worst types to try to teach anything, is going canoeing now. They at least remember to look out for river ticks. Then they all ran into each other on the river. Everyone is splashing and crashing, except for Caroline and Albert, who wanted "a peaceful canoe ride." I love Caroline.
"Joe, our boat's broke!" Melissa complains, before they tip over and fall into the water. Melissa screams in an almost intolerable way and their canoe floats downstream. After peeing and discussing their penises further, the Joes hug it out. Everyone is getting along except for Teresa and Jacqueline now.
That night, Teresa and Jacqueline step aside for a talk. They say they are both hurt, and Teresa says she didn't do anything. Then she said something un-feeling: "I would never question what you did 'cause I don't care." There's the problem. Trying to patch things up, Teresa just ends up yelling at Jacqueline and making things worse. Oh, it's a painful breakup between these two. Teresa suggests that after the trip they go their separate ways, and Jacqueline hangs her head down and cries.
"Cut it out!" Teresa demands. Then she tells Jacqueline how sad and unforgiving she was feeling. It was a weird conversation. Somehow, in the end, they hug and make up, agreeing for things to go back to the way they were. Caroline is SKEPTICAL.

PHILADELPHIA — Doug Collins is on his way out as Philadelphia 76ers' coach.
It remains to be seen if he'll stick with the organization in some other role.
A person familiar with the situation tells The Associated Press the Collins and the Sixers are trying to resolve their relationship after the coach told them he would not return for a fourth season.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity Monday because the issue has not been settled. The person said both sides spent the day working toward an agreement that would keep Collins in the organization in some capacity or free him from the club.
Two people with knowledge of the situation said Collins told the Sixers on Sunday night he would not return next season.
All three people who spoke to the AP say management wanted Collins to return and he was under no pressure to step down. Collins is owed $4.5 million in the last year of his contract.
Team president Rod Thorn was already set to step aside after this season, leaving open the possibility Collins assumes some front office control.
The Sixers are 33-47 and in ninth place in the Eastern Conference a year after they won 35 games and a round in the playoffs in last year's lockout-shortened season. The Sixers finish out the season Monday at Detroit and Wednesday in Indiana.
In Auburn Hills, Mich., on Monday, Collins did not comment on his future, and a spokesman asked reporters to ask only questions about the game against the Pistons.
Philadelphia forward Evan Turner didn't sound bothered by any distractions.
"Everything that's supposed to occur is after the season. We're professionals, we try to do our job, and that's pretty much it," Turner said. "I don't know anything. If it hasn't come out of the horse's mouth, it's just sources."
Pistons coach Lawrence Frank, whose own future is uncertain amid Detroit's rebuilding effort, praised Collins.
"To the best of my knowledge, this is still speculation — nothing has been said officially by the 76ers or by Doug," Frank said. "So I don't want to say too much other than that Doug is one of the best coaches in this league, a great person and a great mentor."
Collins, a four-time All-Star with the Sixers, returned to the franchise in 2010 and led them to the playoffs in each of his first two seasons.
After falling one win shy of advancing to the Eastern Conference finals last season, the Sixers shook up the roster and made the bold move to acquire All-Star center Andrew Bynum from the Los Angeles Lakers.
Collins would have likely returned had Bynum panned out and kept the Sixers in contention with numbers close to his career highs 18.7 points and 11.8 rebounds set last season with the Lakers.
Instead of helping the Sixers get ready for a playoff run, Bynum never played for them because of bone bruises in both knees.
He had season-ending arthroscopic surgery on both knees last month. Bynum earned $16.5 million this season and is set to become an unrestricted free agent.
Bynum's agent, David Lee, refused on Monday to discuss possible contract terms for next season. But he said Bynum would be "ready to go" for training camp.
Lee said Collins' leaving as coach did not change the way Bynum viewed the Sixers and the All-Star center would be open to a return, if the franchise is interested. Bynum is set to shed his crutches on Friday and begin the next phase of his rehabilitation.
Lee said there are no plans for Bynum to return to Germany for the Orthokine blood-spinning treatment in his knees that other professional athletes have sought.
He understood why Sixers fans were upset with Bynum after several target dates for a return came and went.
"The experience has been a positive one, except for the outcome," Lee said by phone. "It's regrettable, but this unfortunately happens in professional sports."

0 AT&T starts selling Kindle Fire HDX 7″ today AT&T and Amazon are continuing their love affair today with the former now selling the Kindle Fire HDX 7-inch. There are a few different ways to pay for it if you're not interested in getting one straight from Amazon.
19 Best Android Tablets [June 2014] May proved to be a slow month for tablet releases, and as such, there hasn't been much change at the top in our latest roundup of best Android slates. Still, the extra time to reflect and releases on the horizon have provided reason to reconsider our overall rankings.
1 Amazon Kindle Fire HD / HDX tablets on sale for a limited time only; starts at $119 Quick heads-up for those of you in the market for an Amazon Kindle Fire tablet: the online retailer has them on sale for as low as $119 today.
32 Amazon offering Kindle Fire HDX devices under 9-month interest-free payment plan Amazon is trying lots of different things to help get Kindle Fire tablets into homes this holiday season. Earlier this winter, we saw the company offer free 30-day trials for the device, and now they're giving consumers a 9-month payment plan option.
30 Time names Chromecast gadget of the year; what other Android devices made the cut? Time Magazine has put out another one of their influential lists, with the outlet highlighting the top gadgets of 2013. It's always interesting to see where different devices end up on this list. There was a time when Apple's mobile products were automatic winners, but the tide has shifted in recent times. The top device of 2013? The Chromecast.
2 Amazon will donate $20 to charity for every Kindle Fire HDX you purchase on Amazon Smile through Sunday Amazon has announced a neat little promotion that should make the philanthropist in you happy. For every Kindle Fire HDX you buy through AmazonSmile, you can have them donate $20 to one of your favorite charities.

11 Amazon invites customers to try Kindle Fire HDX free for a month It's definitely a unique sales model, that's for sure. There's no question Amazon's Kindle Fires are a great value for the money.

Former Gov. Donald L. Carcieri must be having a good chuckle.
While current Gov. Lincoln D. Chafee has dusted off a number of Gov. Carcieri's ideas for municipal-government reform in his recently introduced package of legislation – initiatives that generally were rejected by the state legislature and in the court of public opinion – the liberal independent is pushing an agenda that is much further along a conservative path.
From freezing cost-of-living adjustments to lifting the school bus monitor mandate to barring locally run pension plans from offering benefits more generous than those in the state-run system, Gov. Chafee's package is bold, comprehensive, generating resistance … and the right thing to do.
One initiative in particular crystallizes why the governor's package must be passed now. Chief executives of "highly distressed communities" are given final authority over education budgets, while school and citywide administrative functions can be consolidated.
The president of the Rhode Island Federation of Teachers complains that these steps strip the power from school committees and undermine the collective bargaining process. He's right.
With Woonsocket and East Providence as co-Exhibit As, it is clear that the current school- management system is a large reason for municipalities' fiscal problems. Who can argue reasonably that it should be left alone?
It took a tremendous amount of political courage to pass the state pension-reform legislation last fall. This spring, the state's leaders need to do the same for municipal fiscal reform. •

Training is the best way to protect employees
While training for workers and handlers is the law, it is also the best way to ensure that your workers are not exposed to pesticides. Protect yourself by protecting them.
This web site cannot give you all the information you need to comply with the WPS. Please consult EPA's How to Comply Manual and WPS website for full details.
CEPEP offers EPA-approved WPS training videos for you to loan!
For more information on training checkout our training checklists:
Be aware that you must provide any untrained worker with basic pesticide safety information before they do any work in an area that has been treated with pesticides within the last 30 days.
CEPEP offers WPS training! Our trainings provide great advantages to employers:
- Trainings are interactive, with activities, games, and videos
- We provide WPS certification and an EPA verification card valid for 5 years
- We provide employers with a roster of all employees who have been trained
- Training is provided in both Spanish and English
Call us today at (970) 491-3947 or email us to schedule a training.
Putting it into Practice
Who must be trained?
All workers and handlers must be trained before they accumulate more than 5 days of work. You are not required to conduct training if the worker or handler:
- Has been trained within the last 5 years, even if he or she has changed employers
- Is currently a certified applicator of restricted-use pesticides
- Is currently trained as a handler who works under the supervision of a certified pesticide applicator
How soon must I provide training?
There are different requirements for different types of employees.
- Handlers must be trained before they do any kind of handling task.
- Early-entry workers must be trained before they do any early-entry task.
- Other agricultural workers must be trained before they accumulate more than 5 separate days of work on your establishment.
Who can conduct training?
This flow chart shows how certified applicators, EPA Certified Trainers, and people who have completed a train-the-trainer program can train both workers and handlers. In addition, pesticide handlers can train agricultural workers.
How Should training be conducted?
WPS training in general must include the following elements:
- Written and/or audio-visual materials, like posters and videos.
- An oral or audiovisual (video) presentation.
- Presentation in a manner the trainees understand, using a translator if necessary. Please remember that some employees may not be able to read either English or their native language.

a caffeinated saturday
Much to my surprise, in the midst of my Saturday morning, the postman delivered a shipment of even more java goodness, in the form of 3 bags of Green Mountain Coffee from my Secret Pal. Mmm... Cinnamon Cream Swirl. My best friend introduced me to Green Mountain Coffee when I visited her out in New Haven, CT. It's just delicious, and I always think of New England and my dear friend whenever I drink it. Thank you, secret pal. :-)
My new yoga class began on Saturday, and it was great. Somehow it managed to be relaxing, energizing, and challenging. Here's to more healthful living in 2007!
I've been a little under the weather lately due to a cold (and subsequent ear infection) that I contracted from cute little baby Emma over New Year's. Hopefully I'll shake this bug and return to knitting up a storm soon.

Mmmm - that Saturday morning sounds lovely. That's exactly what I like to do, but it's not always possible!

Hope that flavor is okay. It sounds delicious to me! I might have to try that brand sometime. My husband is more of a coffee drinker than I am, but I'm starting to enjoy a daily cup. In fact, I think I might more than one cup today. It's looking like it's going to be quite the Monday!
And the scarf is looking great!
Have a good week!

I hope your col and ears feel better soon. I haven't your prize I just haven't had a chance to mail it yet. It should go out in the next day or two.

Hey sp,
That flavor looks marvelous! I'm waiting to try it until I finish off my current bag of beans (xmas present from BIL), so as to keep everything as fresh as possible. - 3:48 PM

I just saw your version of Wavy and now I think I should make a "red scarf" using that pattern.

Phase One has announced an updated version of its Capture One 4, PRO and DB RAW workflow software. Version 4.7 introduces a new Enhanced Image Package (.EIP) file format that combines Capture One changes with lens calibration data and the original RAW data in a single file. Furthermore, JPEG and TIFF files can now be edited directly in Capture One. It also supports tethered shooting with Canon EOS 5D Mark II and Nikon D3x DSLRs.
Jacob Frost, Head of application development at Phase One explained what the EIP file format aims to achieve. Combining the RAW data and settings together in one file it makes it easier to move across computers. "You've got everything in one small package, in a single file, which makes it easy to move around," he said. "But the original RAW data is untouched and can be unpacked from the file if you want."
"It's something photographers were asking us for," he said: "in big professional setups with a lot of photographers delivering images to an agency, it's useful if they can deliver the original RAW data without having to bring a whole directory with the RAW files, settings files and LCC files separately. It makes the whole thing much easier to manage, even on a single workstation."
Phase One has also developed a Windows Imaging Component (WIC) codec for Windows and Quick Look plugin for Mac so that EIP files can be easily previewed and managed in those operating systems.
Press release:
Phase One releases Capture One 4.7
New file format packages Phase One RAW images with applied settings; new support for JPEG and TIFF files; more tethered support
COPENHAGEN, April 2, 2009 -- Phase One's Capture One version 4.7 introduces a new enhanced image package file format to make it easier to share adjusted Phase One digital back-generated RAW files. It also permits adjustment of both JPEG and TIFF files. And it adds tethered shooting support for Canon 5D Mark II and Nikon D3X.
New features include:
NEWLY-DESIGNED FILE FORMAT for Phase One RAW files
The Enhanced Image Package (.eip file extension) permits packaging of a Phase One RAW image file together with the adjustment settings applied to the RAW file, with no changes to the original RAW file or re-arrangement of settings.
Ideal for photographers working with retouchers or pre-press, the .eip file format makes it easier to share adjusted Phase One RAW files and helps simplify image archiving and management.
The concept is simple and based on well known, proven ZIP technology (but without the file compression). It is possible to capture directly to .eip or to convert existing files into .eip files. The .eip format leaves the original RAW file untouched, so it is always possible to 'unpack' the original RAW file and settings.
SUPPORT FOR JPEG and TIFF files as 'Input' Files
Many unique attributes of Capture One 4 have been available only for Phase One back users or DSLR shooters using RAW capture. With v4.7, JPEG and TIFF support has been added. All of the existing technology in Capture One 4 is activated for both JPEG and TIFF files with the exception of the Lens correction tools. Now, scans, or older archived files that are in TIFF or JPEG format can be added to existing work and adjusted using Phase One's patented algorithms.
Note: For optimal image quality, it is still recommended to capture and work with images in RAW format.
Added tehered capture support (PRO and DB versions)
Canon 5D Mark II
Nikon D3X
Capture One 4.7 is available now and comes in three versions: 4.7, 4.7 PRO and 4.7 DB. Capture One 4.7 is a free service release to existing Capture One 4.x owners. Capture One 3.x customers can upgrade to a similar version of Capture One 4.6 at no extra cost.

Luckily capt yank**** we are not stuck with next season.
The aforementioned by yourself young Mogg may be poor at times, however in their defence 3 out of 4 are played out of position by the clump who pretends to be the manager, I have no defence for the Edu hater.
However those 4 when tasked with "playing" I use the term lightly for the golden boys at least try and show some backbone for the cause, the same can not be said of the sunday league boy from Northwood who crazes a day out in Mandela land.
Gives his all, pmsl I just spat out a whole mouthful of very expensive Grand Reserva Peroni, that useless waste of space hasn't given his all for over 12 months, he doesn't give a flying **** about Watford Football Club, sadly a minority (getting smaller by the game) still fail to grasp the facts in front of them.
He turns up on a Saturday and puts in half a shift, so he can get his dream of World cup success and a big money move elsewhere, I have no issue with wanting a move and to better himself, I do take uttermost exception to half hearted, coukldn't give a **** performances though just so he doesn't pull a nerve and miss the WC, hence I do hope he breaks a leg and misses the WC, it will serve the canunt right.
I do love you though for calling me a silly boy, how I wish to turn the clock back 35 years.

I'll be happy with Helguson and someone nippier (ie Hoskins, that lightning paced Henderson) or Graham and someone nippier. They can't play together, everyone knows that, but both can score goals at this level if the clown thinks of some tactics.
And of course we'll be in this position next season but I think we can still stay up if we improve on the areas I said. We have no money, we can't buy anyone top class.
Looks like Jobr's got his broken record back on the turntable...
Have a nice day, Downsey!
Believe it or not, I really WAS there when Doyley scored.
You can hardly blame Jay Demerit for our poor form..If anything it has to be our strikers not taking there chances.Jay has not played the whole frigging season..
Some of you are real muppets..If loach makes a mistake he is considered carp,then it's Doyley,then Mariappa in for stick..Eustace was considered Useless,Helguson to slow,Hoskins not good enough,,Then Jenkins was carp..The list is endless of what carp players we have and who is to blame..
Most of you were takin the pee out of Reading and giving em stick for being at the bottom and that we were gonna relegate then..Some of you ain't got a clue to what you say from one week to the next!!
So who's fault was it that we won against plymouth?
I have told you before I do not have Down Syndrome(perhaps on your next visit to this country instead of getting all excited about Doyley you should pop along to the Colnbrook school in South Oxhey, when you see some of the kids who do suffer with DS it may make you realise what a tool you are attempting thinly disguised humour about a serious illness), you infatuation with my every post about your countryman is becoming quite obsessive, hows your friend?
Because Hoskins scoring rate is right up there with erm well no one really
Lets face it we have 4 league 1 standard forwards at the club. The number of chances we have created any half decent striker would have 20 goals by now
We need to replace Hoskins, Graham and H - Legend pure and simple, with three championship standard forwards and then bring through Henderson and Sordell, see how they go with a few starts, no 10 minute camios when were chasing the game.
Its my opinion to which I am entitled. Not everyone is a brain dead sheep who agree with others to be popular.
Plymouth for being so rubbish..
I could sense the disappointment in some people at the game at the fact we were winning and well in control despite not playing that well.
(Just joking...)
I think the most frustrating thing is most of our players have actually performed well on occasions (mainly earlier in the season) and given their best (to their natural ability) but in big games the whole team have been disappointing even in effort.
My main concern about DeMerit would be his role as captain....we've only won once after being a goal down which suggests to me the motivational role of the skipper (and manager) hasn't really worked yet when in front the team generally seems to grow in confidence (until we let a sloppy goal in!)
I could have sworn that i have put "bring through".
What have we seen of Henderson so far ? the odd 10 or 15 minutes when we are humping the ball forward and chasing it into the corners ? Until we see what he can do, may be in the league cup, for 90 minutes we will never know.
Just remember we sent Dean Holdsworth off to Carlisle with his transfer papers in his pocket because we didn't think he was good enough and GT himself sold Philips and Kept the SGB because he thought he was the better option.
He doesn't score goals in the reserves for fun for nothing and there must have been something that Aidy, Rodgers and MM have seen fo them all to keep him year after year, the same three managers that have seen something not right in Hoskins play, rather than releasing him.
Only time will tell
Its my opinion to which I am entitled. Not everyone is a brain dead sheep who agree with others to be popular.
Spot on!!
Defenders DO make mistakes and on average I would say that at least one and maybe no more than twice per game can you attribute defensive mistakes as costing us the game BUT.....
as WaS has correctly alluded to if we had buried the chances (and we DO create chances) in each match then our goal tally would always have been more than the opponents goals we conceded meaning that Mariappa, Doyley and DeMerit wouldn't have received half the criticism that has been levelled at them on message boards
So in conclusion I DO blame our misfiring and under performing strikers for the position we're in closely followed by Mackay's tactics and poor substitution decisions and after that, well, I blame the parents
Mariappa, Taylor, Doyley, DeMerit, Hodson and latterly Bennett would get in to ANY Championship side imho, they are all quality defenders (at this level) and they DO put in 100% effort in every game

As a scorer I mean. I think Grahams' link up is good, but he's a crap finisher.

AMD to launch dual-core 64 on May 31
The AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor will be launched on the first day of Computex, the mammoth show that brings most of Taiwan's computer hardware, software and technology industry face-to-face with technology buyers from around the world, the company said Friday. AMD has used Computex in prior years to launch new processors. If previous years are a guide, the processor will likely be accompanied by the introduction of compatible motherboards produced by Taiwanese companies.
Dual-core processors contain two processors on a single piece of silicon and give users improved performance. This is because processor-intensive tasks like editing video and burning optical discs can be handled independently so they don't slow each other down as might happen in a single-core processor. Until now, most desktop and server processors have had a single core but several dual-core chips have been launched.
Intel, AMD's biggest rival, has already launched a dual-core version of its Pentium processor. It began shipping the chip, called the Pentium Extreme Edition 840 (Pentium EE), in April this year and a second chip, called the Pentium D, is due later this month.
Prototype versions of the new Athlon 64 chip scored well against the Pentium EE in tests carried out by PC World. A system based on the Athlon 64 chip achieved a score of 115 on the PC WorldBench 5 benchmark, against 95 for a system based on the Pentium EE, making the dual-core Athlon 64 system the second-fastest tested to date. The Athlon 64 also drew less power, at about 100 watts versus 145 watts for the Intel chip.
The Athlon 64 X2 isn't AMD's first dual-core processor. The Sunnyvale, California, company launched a dual-core version of its Opteron processor for four-way and eight-way servers in April. It will start shipping a second dual-core Opteron, for two-way servers and workstations, in May, it said at the time.

Dryden stands tall
by Staff Writer / Montréal CanadiensPast meets present: Ken Dryden shakes hands with Cristobal Huet and David Aebischer, the two men now protecting his old stomping grounds.
MONTREAL - Just as he so often did during his days guarding the Canadiens' crease, Ken Dryden brought Habs fans from their seats on the night his No. 29 took its rightful place high above the ice at the Bell Centre.
The crowd erupted once Dryden appeared in the Canadiens' dressing room wearing his trademark bull's-eye mask and holding his classic Sher-Wood stick.
"Once I made my way out of the dressing room and arrived at rink side in the darkness, I couldn't see the 21,000 fans, but I could sure hear them," said Dryden, who received his fair share of standing ovations from Canadiens fans in his heyday. "I wasn't sure what to do while they cheered. It was important to me to find the right words to describe what I was feeling at that moment.
"It was my last chance to say thank you," added Dryden, who saw the Canadiens cap off his special night with a 3-1 win over the Senators. "For over 35 years the fans have been there for me and now I have my own banner bearing my number which will hang here as a constant reminder for the rest of my days."
Dryden was joined on the ice by his brother Dave, wife Lynda, his children Michael and Sarah, and even his three-week old granddaughter Khaya, who was wearing the same hand-knitted sweater his children wore their first time at the Forum.
Also among Dryden's special guests was the man who gave him his first big break back late in the 1970-71 season, former Canadiens coach Al MacNeil.
"If starting the playoffs with a rookie coach and a rookie in goal sounds scary, believe me it was," admitted MacNeil, Dryden's first NHL coach. "But this wasn't just any goaltender, this was Ken Dryden."
MacNeil saw his hunch pay off with the unproven 23-year-old netminder leading the Canadiens to the Stanley Cup in the spring of 1971.
"We beat the favored Bruins, then the North Stars before defeating the Blackhawks in seven games to win the Cup. And that was only the beginning for Ken."
It certainly was, as Dryden's brilliant career would see him win the Calder Trophy, Conn Smythe Trophy, and five Vezina Trophies to go with his six Stanley Cups in only eight NHL seasons.
Seasons | Stanley Cups | |
Ken Dryden | 8 | |
Jacques Plante | 18 | |
Grant Fuhr | 19 | |
Charlie Hodge | 14 | |
Turk Broda | 14 |
Joining Dryden on his special night was an opponent. Not just any rival, but none other than Vladislav Tretiak.
Despite having been longtime rivals in the most intense hockey rivalry the game has ever seen, Dryden and the Soviet goaltending legend have always shared a mutual respect that lives on today. Their epic battles, including their first showdown in 1969, the 1972 Summit Series and a memorable encounter on New Year's Eve in 1975 between the Canadiens and Red Army, did nothing but draw the netminders even closer.
"I'm both happy and proud that Ken wanted me to be here," said Tretiak, who received a warm ovation from the Bell Centre crowd on a night when he even spoke a few words in French. "As soon as I got the call, I didn't hesitate one bit, even though it's a long way from Moscow to Montreal.
"Ken was an incredible goalie and a great man. It means a lot to me to be able to be a part of this memorable day."
Having Tretiak on hand was no accident, as Dryden knows his legacy is tied to the classic battles that marked his career.
"Looking back at all of our success, you also must be grateful for your opponents, the toughest ones," said Dryden on the presence of Tretiak, as well as, the Canadiens' grueling battles with the Bruins. "It's getting through the games that were the hardest to play that are the most rewarding and those that stay with you.
"Ali needed Frazier. Frazier needed Ali. The Yankees need the Red Sox and the Red Sox need the Yankees," explained Dryden. "For us it was the Bruins. Rising to the occasion and defeating a rival is what makes winning all the more special."
Only the second Canadiens goalie to have his number retired, joining Jacques Plante was not taken lightly by Dryden, who understands the legends his number now hangs among.
"Guy Lafleur had his hair flowing in the wind, Jean Beliveau has such as presence on the ice, Maurice "Rocket" Richard was so powerful and as for me, the enduring image everyone has is of me leaning on my stick, not doing much and watching the game," shrugged Dryden with a smile. "That was what the 1970s were all about - that and a whole lot of Stanley Cups."
Dryden recognized all those who made his career possible, from Forum staffers, to the training staff and even the ushers.
"Thank you all for this gift which will last a lifetime."
Judging the crowd's reaction, the feeling is mutual.

oplim77 posted a great Bad Company 2 SDM match with strategy tips for White Pass.
0 thoughts on "SDM on White Pass"
Eh, the best strategy for that map is always to destroy all the buildings with a 40mm grenade. Even if you know no one is in building x, you should be destroying it such that you do not allow people to camp and force the match to move forward and for it to stay dynamic. Halfway through my matches there are no buildings left and people are all running around and such.
Sasben had a similar idea. He suggested shooting buildings to expose hidden enemies. If you see a hit marker keep an eye there but aim for the wall next to them as they've probably just dived behind it for cover! 🙂

PEORIA — A Chillicothe man was sentenced Friday to 15 years in federal prison for downloading child pornography off the Internet.
Gerald E. Aguilar, 53, pleaded guilty last September in U.S. District Court in Peoria to one count of receipt of child porn. In addition to the prison term, Senior U.S. District Judge Michael Mihm also imposed a 10-year period of supervised release.
According to a complaint filed in U.S. District Court, an undercover officer used a peer-to-peer file sharing program to download a video from Aguilar's computer that showed a minor engaged in sexually explicit activity.
Investigators went to Aguilar's house last January with a search warrant. They said they found several hundred pictures and videos of child porn. The complaint states investigators found several thousand images and several hundred videos on an external hard drive.

Those of us who have been keeping up with the goings on at the Abbey know this Sunday is the season three finale, and what better way to commemorate the occasion then to have a few friends over for a Downton Abbey themed dinner.
Dinner at Downton Abbey is always grand and festive; this menu is a simpler version that pays homage to the tastes of that time.
- Chilled Watercress Soup
- Kidney Soufflé with Steamed Asparagus
- Hollandaise
- Berry Trifle
- English Milk Punch
Let's Talk About the Kidney Soufflé
This recipe is inspired by Ethel's attempt at a similar dish, soufflé is temperamental by nature but if you follow the instructions and don't drop the finished dish, you should have better luck than she did. The soufflé should be cooked and then served immediately but the other two elements of the dinner can (and should in the case of the trifle) be made ahead of time.
To me, the best part of a savory soufflé is the crisp edges on top so I like to let mine sit in the oven an extra 3-5 minutes to maximize that. If you're like me, just let the soufflé sit in the oven until you get the crisp edges you desire.
I would also recommend inviting your guests to dine before the episode airs so you can devote your full attention to the season finale.

Langley City boosts amenity fees
It will soon cost developers more to build condos and townhouses in the City of Langley.
Council voted on Feb. 18 to double its Community Amenity Contribution from $500 to $1,000 per living unit.
The fee, paid by developers prior to the issuance of a building permit is separate from Development Cost Charges (DCCs) and is intended to offset the costs of such things as public art, cultural amenities and signage, explained Gerald Minchuk, the City's director of economic development.
The more construction there is in the City and the more new residents who move in, the more pressure is placed on common areas and amenities, he said.
The fee is a flat rate so whether a unit is 400 square feet or 1,280 square feet, the CAC will be $1,000.
Councillor Jack Arnold expressed concern that the City was singling out multi-family residential construction rather than applying the amenity fee to single family homes as well.
Councillor Gayle Martin followed up by asking how many single family starts there are, on average, in Langley City each year.
There are roughly 15 or 20 compared to 150-200 multifamily units, Minchuk replied.
The $1,000/unit rate still leaves the City "significantly lower than Surrey," said Minchuk. "We feel the increase won't deter future development."

The world is full of empty promises. Advertisements tell us to buy this amazing cream because it will make us beautiful or to buy that weird-looking contraption because it will tone our muscles and make us popular.
And here comes the Fool, with another promise. Invest money now and we'll help make you a millionaire, or at least comfortable in your later years. Gee, that sounds even less believable than the beauty cream, doesn't it? But it's true. You can print this out and take it to your math teacher, and he or she can verify it.
If you leave your money to grow for a long time, $100 can turn into a million dollars. We showed you that in our "Why Invest?" article. But now we want to explain the how and the why a little more. You need to understand what's going on so that you'll believe it.
How does the money grow? By an amazing process called "compounding."
Banks compound money all the time, when they add interest to what is in your savings account. Let's say that you have $1000 in your account and you're earning 5% on it each year. That means that in one year, the bank will have added 5%, or $50, to your money. So in year two, you'll have $1050. In the next year, you earn another 5% -- but now it's 5% of $1050, not of $1000. So instead of getting $50 added to your money, you get $52.50. At the end of year three, you'll have $1,102.50. The next year, $55.13 is added. The year after, $57.88.
If there was no compounding, you'd get the same $50 added each year. But with compounding, your money is growing faster and faster. Look at the chart below and you'll see how much is added each year for 25 years.
Here's the simple math. Take 1000. To get 5%, you multiply it by 0.05. The result is 50.
Remember that this is only growing at 5% per year. If you invest your money Foolishly, as we'll teach you to do, you can earn a lot more than 5% a year. And if you want to become a millionaire while you're not too old, you'll probably need to earn more than 5%.
Let's say that at age 18, you decide you can save and invest $500 per year. How long will it take you to become a millionaire?
Well, it all depends on what you do with the money. If you stuff it into your mattress, you'll be 2,018 years old when it becomes a million intergalactic globodollars. (Unfortunately, you might not be around to enjoy it.) If you park it at a bank, earning 4% per annum, you'll be a 130-year-old millionaire. If you match the average stock market return of 10.5%, you'll get there by age 94. (That's still not too exciting, right? Keep reading.)
Keep in mind, though, that you should be able to beat the stock market and become a millionaire a lot sooner. If you take the time to learn a lot and become an excellent investor, earning perhaps 16% or more, on average, per year, you could be a millionaire in your 60s. And this assumes you won't save more than $500 a year -- which you will, right? By investing intelligently, you can get to a million in a few decades -- starting with just a few hundred bucks.
Try experimenting with compounding. You can do it the old fashioned way, with paper and pencil, or the less old-fashioned way, with a calculator. Or fire up our friend the web and use The Motley Fool's snazzy Fool Compoundulator. You just plug in how much you're starting with, how much and how often you'll invest more, how long your money will grow, and by what percent your money will grow. Then tell it to "Compoundulate" and you'll see how much money you'll end up with. Try changing the numbers you enter and see what happens.

See how you begin by just getting $50 added and end up getting $161 added? That's compounding. Not only is your money growing, but the amount by which it's growing is also growing.
1000 x 0.05 = 50.
Add the 50 to the 1000 and you'll get 1050.
1000 + 50 = 1050.
That's it! Simple multiplication and addition. You can use a calculator or your brain and a pencil. Let's do one more round.
1050 x 0.05 = 52.50.
1050 + 52.50 = 1102.50.
