Re: Leeds United F.C.
I love being the only one who posts in here. It's the only place where Leeds fans aren't everywhere. I'm like King.
Paddy Kenny is a fantastic signing at this level - I may be getting a bit ahead of myself, but i've got a good feeling about this season now. Hard work needs to keep going though, we need more quality in other places now, especially the centre of the park and on the wing. -
Re: Leeds United F.C.
Pretty much given up on Leeds United since we got promoted from League One (strange I know), not been since Sheffield United in 2010 but the Leeds United bug is kicking back in, tempted to go to the first home game of the season. Just really resent putting any money into the club whilst Bates is there.
Re: Leeds United F.C.(Original post by Schmucks)
Much more restraint than me, my friend. I admire you for it.
Won't be long 'til the poisonous git is out of our club, don't break now! And if you have to, get down to Blackpool or Peterborough instead and give them your money.
York and Halifax are closest to me, I enquired about a student season ticket for York for next season, around £150, so I'll probably do that. Missing Elland Road though haha. -
Re: Leeds United F.C.
I sadly got one still (days after Howson was sold) because my dad wouldve gone on his own otherwise, and the thought of that was a bit heartbreaking. Then they sacked Grayson - If they'd done that before I renewed, i'd have not gone, and neither would my old man.
If he's still here come January, I won't be renewing - I won't renew again until he goes. I'm grown dissident of the whole regime. Luckily tides seem to be changing, so who knows! -
Re: Leeds United F.C.
Give this a read if you've got a minute. Cheers. -
Re: Leeds United F.C.(Original post by KX321)
I feel sick -
Re: Leeds United F.C.(Original post by Schmucks)
Be careful when you see the one of Snoddy and Howson together then. -
Re: Leeds United F.C.(Original post by jmca25)
Any more updates/rumours on the takeover?
Has anyone seen our new numbers for the 12/13 season? I frankly feel ****ing sick looking at the list. Our squad is utter garbage. The likes of Barnsley and Peterborough could beat our ****e at the moment. -
Re: Leeds United F.C.(Original post by jmca25)
Lee Peltier having a medical apparently. Should be a lot better than Paul Connolly -
Re: Leeds United F.C.(Original post by jmca25)
Supposedly we are going to offer a contract to Martin Crainie.
I would be happy with
Peltier - Pearce - Lees - Drury
Paddy Kenny in nets offers good experience and can organise them well
On another note, and yes I plugged it earlier, but my blog got a nice little mention from the lads at Square Ball this week on their weekly piece for Leeds Online. If anyone wants to take a look at the blog, it's here; http://becchiowellplaced.blogspot.co.uk/ -
Re: Leeds United F.C.
Kenny - Peltier - Lees - Pearce - Drury looks like a solid back line to me. We know Tom Lees is only going to get better with experience in the first team and Pearce is solid enough for the Championship based on what I saw from him last season.
Also scoured a few Leicester fan forums earlier today, a lot seem to think losing Peltier is a mistake which is good news for us. They seem to rate him.
I agree we need need another CB along with Crainie as back ups, especially now that O'Brien has left. I read that Norwich are looking to loan out Daniel Ayala which would be a decent enough back up CB for us. -
Re: Leeds United F.C.
My latest blog, though sadly not to do with the excellent news that Danny Pugh is leaving or the horrendous news that the takeover is off - I'll have something about that in the next 24 hours, though. Enjoy this little piece, for now... I guess. If we can really 'enjoy' anything, today.

FRISCO, Texas — Sam Houston State, like all colleges, looks to get a leg up on the competition – facilities, dietary, other little things that, cumulatively, add up to make a big difference.
Like kicking and punting.
The Bearkats have weapons on both sides of the ball when it comes to putting foot to leather.
Kicker Miguel Antonio and punter Matt Foster are among the best the FCS has to offer. Antonio is 18-for-22 in field-goal attempts; Foster, who transferred from Purdue before the 2010 season, is averaging 43.2 yards per punt.
Antonio, an All-Southland choice, has converted 72 consecutive point-after attempts. His only miss this season was his first PAT attempt in the opener on Sept. 8 against Incarnate Word. To boot, he kicked game-deciding field goals against Cal Poly and Eastern Washington in the playoffs.
And the hero-making kicks came off the toe of his shiny highlighter-orange and black with yellow stripes cleats. "Everyone was giving me stuff about them. My mom actually picked them out," Antonio said. "I was going to wear purple [cleats] but coach told me, 'You might want to change your shoes because that's the color of SFA — and we don't like SFA.'
"As long as the ball goes through the uprights, I don't care what they look like."
But even after the emotional high of the big-moment kicks in the playoffs, Antonio was quick to note he's just doing his part to help the team succeed. "If you kick the winning field goal, the next week it's not guaranteed that you're going to make it. I can enjoy it, I'm going to give a smile, but you can't go too crazy.
"For us, kickers don't get a lot of chances. If you make it, everyone is going to love you. If you miss it, everyone's going to hate you."
Foster, the "Punter from Down Under," is 26 – the oldest player on SHSU's roster – and in three seasons has placed 64 kicks inside the 20, including 19 this year.
However, despite his on-field success Foster was deadpan with a self-deprecating comment — as he explained when asked why he wasn't the holder on kicks, unlike many other punters: "I can hold, but the thing is I'd rather be crappy at one thing than two things. So I'd rather just be crappy at punting."
Foster is serious when it comes to doing his part to help ensure the Bearkats' success. "You're only as good as your last kick," he said. "We're more worried about the guys on the team because they are the ones we have to deal with everyday. Those are our mates.
"I get really, really, really pissed off at myself because you [punt] so much that you know you shouldn't have [shanked the ball]. But you need to have a short memory because you get back out there pretty quickly.
"The SFA game this year," Foster said, "I shanked my first one really badly and for the rest of the game I punted really [well] and was actually named the special teams player of the week for the Southland Conference – even with the shank. I still averaged 45 [yards]."

Between Antonio and Foster there is a friendly give-and-take. When either is about to get on the field, they do their part to offer encouragement that only a special teams player can appreciate.
As Foster recalled telling Antonio before a recent kick, "I told him that if he makes this kick, I'll give him a shot of apple juice afterward."
For Antonio's part, he takes it in stride. "We'll say that if you make this, I'll buy you this … dinners, Coca-Cola. It's been working.
"I think the worst-case scenario is when you start to think about [the kick]. Because then you start to think about the snap, the hold, the kick … you need to forget about everything and forget about them," Antonio said.
"It happened to me my sophomore year against Northwestern State; I missed a game-winning kick and it felt bad. When I went out there [against Eastern Washington] I knew it wasn't going to happen again. So now I just focus on the ball – just on the ball."
And if you believe in karma (as if SHSU needs any additional motivation): Saturday is the fourth rematch in FCS championship history. In each of those title games, the team that lost the previous year turned the tables. If that's the case on Saturday, there's a good chance Antonio and Foster will have a foot in the outcome.

Preheat oven to 425°F.
To roast garlic, cut the top off the whole bulbs to expose cloves. Dress with a little EVOO and season with salt and pepper (fresh rosemary or thyme sprigs make tasty roasting companions as well). Wrap tightly in foil and roast until tender and light caramel in color, about 45-60 minutes. Let cool.
In a medium bowl, mix ricotta with lemon zest, pepper flakes, thyme 1/2 cup of Parmigiano-Reggiano, salt and pepper.
Arrange pizza crusts on 2 rimmed baking sheets. Spread roasted garlic on the cut side of the bread and top with ricotta mixture then sprinkle with the rest of the Parmigiano-Reggiano and fresh mozzarella. Bake to golden, 12-15 minutes.

Fall Tastes Like
Tonight I walked to my car in search of a bag of sunshine. I opened the door and let the light from the house flood the pathway and stepped into the night. I paused for a second to soak it all in and felt the cold envelope my face. Fall is that time of the year that possesses a cozy energy representing the process of life anew. The streets fall quiet, but if you listen hard enough, you'll hear the cold in the air, breathe deep enough and you taste the season in your breath.
Fall, you bring good memories like first days of school, new teachers, new faces, and new clothes. Now that I'm older and these experiences no longer apply, these cold months give me a sense of hope for the next year to come. I am pleasantly reminded that many things start anew and every year is a new adventure. Everything has its season, and the leaves come back to the trees eventually.
I must remember to stop and enjoy the night sometimes.

The Spice Rack |
By Dorotha Schaefer We had a message from friend Bill Nay, a life resident of Missouri. He says that between the towns of Harrisonville and Warsaw is the tiny village of Tightwad. He says there is nothing much in the town of Tightwad but a small bank. The bank so far has been very successful since everyone for miles around wants a checking account there and can have "Tightwad" on their checks. • • • We have a story about bathing suits, a topic that is beginning to be of interest to many as we slip into June. Just a few days ago it was still too cool to think about bathing suits. This tale was related by a family going to Florida and planning to wear the warm weather items where the sun shines warmly on exposed skin even in March.

Chennai: Earning more than half of its Rs262 crore premium income from the retail segment (Rs140.5 crore) the city-based Royal Sundaram Alliance Insurance Company continues its bet on the retail segment.
"We see a significant opportunity in the retail insurance segment. Over the next five years, retail will constitute two-thirds of our business from about 50 per cent today. This is more in line with the developments in the Indian economy than with the company's strategy," says managing director Antony Jacob.
He adds, "We also see encouraging prospects in the small and medium businesses category. In the past, a number of entrepreneurs took risks with protecting their assets."
Looking back on the years after opening up the general insurance sector for private players, Jacob predicts an extremely positive outlook for the industry as a whole.
"The general insurance industry valued around Rs16,000 crore now is growing at an annual rate of around 15 per cent. With increased awareness and education, the overall penetration of general insurance will increase significantly."
In line with its focus on expanding its retail business, Royal Sundaram has declared 2004 as the year of the customer.
Though insurance is a contract of promise - a promise to compensate the loss - Jacob becomes silent when queried about the numbers relating to the company's claims payout. However it is learnt that the company has posted an underwriting loss (excess of claims outgo over premium income). After taking into account the Rs18 crore investment income, Royal Sundaram joins the select club of private insurers to have posted a net profit last year. Excerpts
You have designated the current fiscal as 'the Year of the Customer'. What does this actually signify to the policyholder?Customer service excellence is one of the major differentiators in India's highly competitive insurance market. Whilst customer retention and loyalty is built upon a complex combination of product delivery, pricing and the market environment, customer service plays a huge role in deciding whether a customer remains with an insurer or not. To reiterate the importance of service excellence, we have designated 2004-05 as the 'Year of the Customer'. Excellent customer service backed by first-class technology will be our prime area of focus during this year. This will steadily move the company on the path to achieving its vision of becoming the first choice general insurer for India.
What is unique about your human resource (HR) practices to win a HR award?In January 2004 we won the "Deccan Herald Avenues HR Excellence Awards for the organisation with the most innovative HR Practices" for e-enabling our HR and administrative functions through our corporate people relationship management system (PRMS) tool. Launched in December 2002, this system provides a forum for communication across geographies and organisational structures, besides being an effective knowledge-sharing tool.
Could you give us portfolio-wise premium earned? Royal Sundaram has written Rs262 crore of premium income during the financial year ending March 31, 2004, recording a growth rate of 40 per cent over the previous financial year's premium of Rs187 crore. Retail insurance accounted for Rs140.5 crore, whilst commercial insurance contributed Rs121.2 crore to the company's total premium income. Motor was the main contributor, accounting for 50 per cent of our total premium, followed by fire with 21 per cent, personal accident with 8 per cent, engineering with 7 per cent and health and marine with 6 per cent and 5 per cent respectively. The business generated from insuring the Sundaram group companies was around Rs10 crore. The company recorded a profit of Rs 8 crore.
Did the change in commission / brokerage structure announced by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) sometime ago affect your company in procuring business during March? March / April is the time when most of the corporate policies come up for renewal?As the revised remuneration structure for intermediaries announced by the IRDA was with effect from April 1, 2004, it has not had an effect on the renewal of our corporate policies in the financial year ending March 31, 2004.
Could you tell us about your reinsurance programme?Our reinsurance strategy is geared to maximising local retention and at the same time providing adequate protection for our range of portfolios. We work closely with the General Insurance Corporation (GIC) and have in place a reinsurance programme backed by major global reinsurers.
Did the company get any additional capital infusion last year? There has been no fresh capital infusion in 2003-04. As of now, there are no plans to increase the capital base. The company had an initial capital of Rs101 crore which was increased to Rs130 crore in September 2001.
On your plans to expanding your network…Currently, we have over 390 people working from 29 branches in 24 cities. We plan to increase the number of employees by around 100, in addition to opening around 5 more branches in 2004-05.

So... Hello everyone. I am new here. I would like to strt with my story and how I arrived here... There was a time (2002-2005) when I used Merrill Lynch and a broker and a manager. I also had a stock portfolio that we managed "together". After the manager bought 34 shares of Google soon after the IPO (around $200-) and then... Unknown to me - he sold them at $320- without my permission - as he was managing my mooney... I pulled the plug on all managed money and just the broker and I did everything. I had 100 shares of Apple I bought at $30- at some point... He had me sell them at $100-...
Now it's 2013 and we are on cloud 9 (yes, I am a boomer - 58 years old). Too good to be true really - especially reviewing history and unforeseen events like 9/11 and effects these events have on our markets worldwide.
I opened an E Trade account about 2 years ago. I love tech but know I need some diversification. My interest is in swing trading stocks and taking profits. I want to make a living at this. So here I am, having made some good and some bad investments (mostly good). But following CAN SLIM has already made me a better investor. Less emotional (although I still buy stocks I like sometimes - like Mattel which I bought at $36- and is now $46-. I also have some Long (really long) stocks like SPYDRS XLE which I purchased at $69- and is now $80+.
But... To make a living, I need to really learn and get down to business - without being a crazed day trader (or maybe I should consider that?). Any thoughts would be appreciated. I am going to my first Meet Up on the 20th here in town.
Good luck everyone and I look forward to "meeting" you al!

hi ITI,
unfortunately the forums seem to have a compatibility problem with MS's internet Explorer. The work around is to either use a different browser or learn to use the Compatibility View button on the end of the url button.
i think there is some kind of security problem with the forum software that investors.com is using, so the easiest thing to do was to just remove a problem that is specific to Internet Explorer.
I found a nice description on msdn when they added Compatibility View to IE8 beta.
Introducing Compatibility View - IEBlog - Site Home - MSDN Blogs
With Beta 2 we're announcing a brand new feature known as Compatibility View. In a nutshell, Compatibility View allows content designed for older web browsers to still work well in Internet Explorer 8.
Compatibility View and End Users
When a web site says that it supports modern web standards, Internet Explorer 8 respects that and displays the site using its most standards compliant mechanism. In the majority of cases, this works out just fine. However, every once in a while, a page that says "display me using modern standards" really means "display me like Internet Explorer 7 used to display modern standards pages". This is where Compatibility View comes in.
There are a bunch of changes under the hood, but the main points to know are –
A new UI button located in the navigation bar just to the right of the address bar (next to the refresh button) controls the Compatibility View feature and replaces the Emulate IE7 button from Beta 1.
IE only displays this button when toggling into Compatibility View makes sense, such as when viewing Standards mode pages. In all other cases, such as when viewing Quirks mode pages or viewing intranet sites (they're already being displayed in Compatibility View as discussed later in this post), IE hides the button.
Intermediate Trend Investors:
CANSLIM doesn't work. So IBD sent me here to try to con new customers into trying it.
Yes you are a Sleezbag!!!. Get off the site

By Luke Anami and Ally Jamah
Medical Services Minister Anyang' Nyong'o has defied President Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga by recalling suspended National Hospital Insurance Fund chief executive Richard Kerich.
Even before the storm stirred by Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentist Board that NHIF has gone ahead to accredit 77 unregistered clinics settled it turned out the minister had called Kerich back to office.
This is despite the fact that Parliament returned an inconclusive and unreliable report on the scandal involving the civil servants medical scheme that some members claimed was marred by corruption.
The minister also appeared to jump the gun because he took the action before the probe ordered by President Kibaki was completed. His action effectively sought to end the work of the caretaker committee Raila appointed.
Initially, when the NHIF board suspended Kerich, Nyong'o as the line minister reversed the move. It was only after Raila intervened, that the Medical Services minister acceded to Kerich's removal.
The minister recalled Kerich to take over from the acting Chief Executive Adan A Adan whose appointment Raila made to facilitate investigations into the scandal.
The order caused confusion as it came in disregard of an order by President Kibaki that investigations be carried out to establish the truth and tough action be taken against the culprits.
Consequently, drama unfolded at NHIF, as Adan, who is a deputy secretary in the Ministry of Medical Services, remained in office even after Nyong'o confirmed he had recalled him to perform his previous duties so that Kerich could return.
But in another strange twist, it emerged the NHIF Caretaker Committee Chairman Mutuma Mugambi had written to Nyong'o complaining about the decision to reinstate Kerich, before investigations Kibaki ordered were concluded.
Legal advice
On Wednesday, while opening a stakeholder's workshop on universal health insurance cover in a Nairobi hotel, Nyong'o said his reinstatement of the former NHIF CEO was in line with the NHIF Act.

Why Defunding Planned Parenthood Will Bankrupt America
Picture this. You (or your wife or sister or best friend or girlfriend) are 22 weeks into a high risk pregnancy when your water breaks, and there's absolutely no chance the fetus will live. If you go ahead and deliver anyway you face the risk of serious infection along with the trauma of watching your baby die. In the past you might have opted for induced labor or an abortion (never an easy decision, nor one made carelessly, but pretty necessary given the circumstances), but now induced labor with no chance of saving the fetus is considered abortion and given you're in a state where all abortions are illegal after 20 weeks, you're out of luck. You deliver, the baby struggles to breathe and is dead within fifteen minutes, and you're on intravenous antibiotics for the subsequent infection that develops. Sound unheard of in our good ole' US of A? It happened last year in Nebraska.
Or maybe you've been the victim of rape or incest. Maybe it was nothing more dire than a broken condom or missed pill. Maybe you did everything you could possibly do to take care of yourself, and you still got pregnant. And for whatever reason (and really, your reasons are no one's business but your own) you can't go through with the pregnancy. What happens next?
It's been barely three months since we were facing the very real possibility of a federal shutdown. And shockingly, it wasn't over jobs or the economy, but sex and a woman's right to choose the best course of action for her own life. It was about undermining a woman's very basic right to safe, affordable, and accurate health care. The right to contraceptive services, sex education, STI and HIV testing, cervical and breast cancer screenings, and prenatal care. And of course, the right to abortion.
Here's the thing—and this seems to get lost amidst a lot of self-aggrandizing conservative rhetoric and moralistic hand-wringing—abortion is safe. Safer than giving birth, even!—and one of the most common medical procedures in the country. What's more, what's absolutely huge, in fact, is that every public dollar spent on family planning services actually saves three dollars in Medicaid costs for what would otherwise have gone to expensive pre and neonatal care. Teen pregnancy actually cost U.S. taxpayers almost $11 billion in 2008—not a fact you hear the GOP spouting on the House floor. Eleven billion dollars. That's a hell of a lot of money that, if it wasn't simply going down the drain, we might be able to use to fund all kinds of good stuff like our public school systems, or literacy programs, or even smart and savvy sex education so those aforementioned teenage baby mamas actually have the resources and knowledge at their disposal to—wait for it—have safe, respectful, exciting sex and not get pregnant! Novel, I know.
But then we have stand-up guys like New Hampshire executive councilor Raymond Wieczorek saying he's not going to pay for our "condom parties" (though he definitely doesn't like abortions either), which pretty much means low-income women lose access to contraception, and hey, now we have more babies the state needs to help support. Given the GOP is all about shrinking spending, this doesn't seem super logical.
Jill Krowinski, the Public Affairs Director of Planned Parenthood of Northern New England, summarized the situation aptly when she told me in an email interview, "[These] legislative attacks place political ideology over basic health care, putting the lives of millions of women and families at risk…these attacks are bad health policy, bad fiscal policy, and bad politics."
It should also be said that the Hyde Amendment has prohibited federal funds from going towards abortion services for the past thirty years, except in cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is in danger. 97% of the services Planned Parenthood offers have nothing to do with abortion at all; rather, they provide vital family planning and reproductive health resources, and are oftentimes the only provider millions of women have access to, whether because of their geographical location or socio-economic status.
However, the Hyde Amendment might as well be written in fairy dust given the rabid fervor with which anti-choice politicians and activists have proposed restrictive state legislation this season. Nearly 1,000 bills of varying absurdity (testifying fetus, anyone?) have made their way onto dockets across the U.S., with no state being spared, though a few have been hit particularly hard—Indiana, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Kansas, Texas, and South Dakota among them.
In Texas, where family planning saved the state $161,738,000 in 2008, and Title X-supported programs offered contraceptive services to nearly 1.5 million women, because of mandatory "Right to Know" legislation, women are provided with largely unsubstantiated information, such as there being a link between breast cancer and abortion (The American Cancer Society resoundingly disputes this), as well as being subjected to a 24-hour waiting period before undergoing the procedure.
Sarah McKetta, a former Planned Parenthood of Texas employee, noted that despite these requirements being filed under "education/right to know," they were often little more than barriers to keep women from easily obtaining abortions.
"Women who wanted to make an abortion appointment had thought good and hard about it before picking up the phone to call us," she said. "What these laws effectively did was make the most disadvantaged women have the hardest time, because they usually needed time to come up with the funding and to come up with childcare for their other children, and then they call to make the appointment and realize that they still have to wait."
Indiana has gone so far as to ban all state Medicaid funding for Planned Parenthood—an illegal move which has been challenged by both Medicaid and the Obama Administration, since federal law requires all those eligible for Medicaid to be able to access services from any qualified provider, including Planned Parenthood. If Indiana persists with the legislation, the state will be cut off from all Medicaid funding, a loss amounting to roughly $4 billion in aid, and one that would disproportionally screw the state's poorest residents.
Incidentally, Indiana is currently ranked 49th in the nation in terms of providing contraceptive services, and it has the 31st highest teen pregnancy rate, according to the Guttmacher Institute. More than half of all Indiana births are paid for by Medicaid, and even then, teen childbearing cost Indiana taxpayers $3.6 billion between 1991-2004.
Wisconsin recently jumped on the "defund Planned Parenthood" bandwagon, despite the fact that this would effectively cut off health care access to 12,000 women while simultaneously threatening the state's BadgerCare family planning program, which actually saves nearly $140 million a year. North Carolina made a similar decision earlier in the summer. And with Mr. Wieczorek at the helm, New Hampshire is the newest state to join the club—and after only a few days, women are already having trouble getting access to antibiotics to treat UTI's and STD's. Bravo, guys! Family planning clinics like Planned Parenthood only saved your state 183,505,000 in public funds in 2008.
"This goes way beyond Planned Parenthood itself," Ms. Krowinski noted, calling the legislation an "assault on all progressive health care, service, and advocacy organizations that aim to provide vital care and services to women and men across the country" and a "clearly coordinated, highly political effort designed to undermine one of our nation's largest women's health care providers — with dangerous implications for women and families."
"Women are not idiots who need legislators to make health decisions for them," Ms. McKetta agreed. "Can you imagine if someone was putting all of these barriers up for every man who wanted to get a vasectomy (which, by the way, is a much more invasive procedure than abortion that takes a longer time to heal and actually DOES impact fertility, unlike abortion)?…No, you can't imagine it. Because this boils down to an affront on women's health."
And the best way to counter the crazy, you may ask? (And you should be!)
Start by speaking out, and especially talk to your elected officials, urged Tait Sye, a spokesman for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America in a telephone interview.
He cited a recent CNN poll that suggested 65% of Americans—a significant percentage—recognize the valued services Planned Parenthood provides for men, women, and teens, and support continued funding for the organization.
Ms. Krowinski also urged the public to speak out, noting, "When women tell their stories about how Planned Parenthood was there for them, it helps legislators understand the critical role we play in their communities for women and families."
She went on to relate a story involving a Planned Parenthood patient at the West Lebanon Health Center in New Hampshire, who had gone to the drug store to get pills, only to learn that they were $100 a pack, more than she could afford. "The patient was told that with Title X we could slide her pills down to $0 and we would take any donation she could give us. The patient pulled out her wallet and counted out $1.35 and said it's not much, but you can have it."

Blockbuster Shuts 129 Shops And Slashes Staff
The collapsed DVD and games rental firm Blockbuster is to close 129 of its 528 shops and axe 760 workers in the coming weeks.
Some 31 branches have already been put on notice of closure, according to the company's administrators Deloitte.
The move means the chain is already planning to close a quarter of its branches and make 18% of its workforce redundant.
It was announced just days after the chain went into administration in a run of bad news for the British high street.
There will be fears that this is just the first step in taking apart a company that employs more than 4,000 people in the UK.
Lee Manning, of administrator Deloitte, said: "Having reviewed the portfolio with management, the store closure plan is an inevitable consequence of having to restructure the company to a profitable core which is capable of being sold.
"We would like to thank the company's employees for their support and professionalism during this difficult time. We are also grateful to the customers for their continued support."
An employee helpline and an "employee assistance programme" have been set up to help staff find other jobs.
The firm's trading woes were blamed on competition from internet firms and digital streaming of movies and games.
Blockbuster had struggled to adapt to the changing market and rivalry from internet retailers including Netflix, Amazon's LoveFilm and iTunes, which now offers a movie rental service.
Its collapse came after its own plans to break into film-streaming appeared to stall in recent months.
It follows the demise of camera chain Jessops and electricals group Comet, which also blamed competition from online players for their downfall.
Just a day before Blockbuster went into administration, the music and entertainment chain HMV went under following dismal Christmas sales.
what do you think?
Diane Rogers
Feel sorry for those who are going to lose their jobs
Daine. Absolutely. But I fear that it will only get worse over the coming months. It looks a little more hopeful at HMV for your lad though
Diane Rogers
Hopefully so,He does not know anything yet,one thing that could go in his favour he is the only one in the stockroom and if someone does takeover company the store here takes a lot of money
william Baker
Why the negative feedbacks for Dianes comment? Strange people around these days
Diane Rogers
I am used to it least my posts are being read. Think it's the name that does it
Lorgar Aurelian
Like me she has her own little fan club. She could announce she is donating £1 million to charity and still get thumbed down.

Lorgar you let my secret out ha ha
Take no notice some people just love drama/creating it...
Some come here to comment on and pick holes in the comments of others. Sometimes if I see meanness, it's nice to turn a few of those thumbs the other way around!
Diane Rogers
Thanks guys I know some don't like my views. To give thumbs down for people loosing tbeir jobs is very insensitive
Your very welcome :o) Deffo insensitive I agree.Some people just don't care as long as isn't them.What goes around comes around x

Most of the workers i know, generally feel insecure, since Hansel and Gretel took over the reigns. Thatcherism might balance the books, but what good is a nice debt free account, if you can't buy food, due to unemployment.

In excess of 250,000,000 videos were downloaded during last year, I read. The technology has changed. The same will happen to the TV cable and satelite distributors during the next 2 years. Apple want to be in our lounges as well as on our computers.
Serena Davis
Im sad to hear blockbuster go from our high streets I miss all staff and seeing the shop that we depended on for years I hope all staff find the job's they will enjoy for the further good luck everyone who kept blockbusters running from Serena
I am one of the stff members of blockbuster whose store is closing and the way they went round telling us was appalling we were made to find out from the news rather than from the hierarchy.
Diane Rogers
Feel sorry for you. Our son works for HMV he is still waiting to find out what is happening to them.Hope you find something else
Jasmin Louise
How's the studying going ffreem200??
Louisa Gieldon
ffreem it's rotten to be treated like that abd seems to be happening more and more with staff always being the last to know. Good luck with getting something else
Lorgar Aurelian
If only the management had jumped on the download market. I always like to have a wander round Blockies being an avid film buff and gamer. Sad times.
Thank you for everyone and there kind words. As for the studying I am 3 n a half years in to a 5 year course and may have to drop out due to the need of a part time job
Louisa Gieldon
Ffreem can you get a suspension of studies if the worst comes to the worst and you can't find anything else quickly? My son did that halfway through his degree because i was gravely ill and he could not concentrate. Try everything but don't lose the time you have put in so far. Lots of luck x
Bad luck, Ffreem. I hope something else comes along quickly. Once, being forced to leave a job was the best thing that could, in the long run, have happened for me. I hope it happens for you! x
Jasmin Louise
Aww, best of luck to you. I hope all goes well for the future. X
I am hoping that I can transfer my credits over to open university and possably finish my degree that way I know it will cost but better to finish than stop. Thanks again for positive feedback.
It's way out of control now. Almost every single sector is facing hammerings daily. I really can't see how things can improve. I would like for some HMV, Blockbuster or similar work syndicate's Lotto numbers to come up but it would have to be fast before they can't afford them, either, as they hike in price by 100%! I don't envy these workers, on low wages already and so less likely to have been able to save anything, struggling to eat or travel at extortionate cost. Nightmare.

Da Vinci's Vitruvian Man c. 1487 A.K.A. Proportions of Man |
Ever since the ancient Greeks waxed philosophical about the "golden mean" and proportion being the formulaic canon for aesthetic beauty we have been chasing the symmetrical dragon. But is symmetry always ideal?
Gestalt theory states that "we tend to order our experiences in a manner that is regular, orderly, symmetric and simple". We like to put things in boxes, the laws of perception are a quick-hand in making snap judgements but these are intrinsically flawed.
Biologically speaking there is scientific reason for the ideological and subconscious response to perfect symmetry but spoon-fed this concept in Western culture it's difficult to see past the Occidental axiom. Perhaps we should look further East and at the the Japanese term wabi-sabi for an appreciation in finding beauty in imperfection. Is a pearl not created from a flawed grain of sand within the oyster's shell?
To prove my point here I've taken three famous faces which many would argue to have perfectly symmetrical features and used two of their right sides to form the center picture and the two left sides to form the face on the far right.
Neither the two right sides nor the two left would be hard to look at, though neither add up to the sum of the original's parts.

Therefore, they want their data back. They need to recover data that have gone because of some reasons. Here, the can know the solution of the way to get their data back.

Boca Chica and Isla Boca Brava
Long a sleepy fishing port at the end of a bone-rattling road, Boca Chica now has a paved road and a small selection of hotels that serve the islands of Parque Nacional Marino Golfo de Chiriquí. The town is on a peninsula overlooking the nearby island of Boca Brava. Together, they define the eastern edge of a mangrove estuary that extends all the way to Playa La Barqueta. Neither the island nor the mainland has great beaches. The attractions are beyond Boca Brava on the uninhabited islands of the Parque Nacional Marino Golfo de Chiriquí, a 40-minute boat ride away. Beyond them lie world-class sportfishing and diving around the Islas Ladrones and Islas Secas.

Liz Kelly is winding up medical school in New Orleans, LA but put on her GBTC singlet for a tribute to Boston filmed on the New Orleans news where cameras caught her in red.
Watch the video here.
From club member and communications wiz, Victoria Barnaby:
Tom [Derderian] made another radio show appearance this morning on The Sports Stamp on 1510 AM NBC Sports Radio. Tom spoke eloquently of the human spirit in the context of this week's events.
In what should have been the most important news of the day on Monday, the GBTC Open Men's and Open Women's teams took 5th and 4th places respectively in the team competition at the Boston Marathon on a beautiful day for racing.
The women were lead by Anna Novick (2:56:23) who ran a PR of over five minutes while deftly bobbing and weaving through the masses that had had a head start, "I started in Wave 2, corral 2, and chased red bibs like they were prey. So proud to be GBTC." Rounding out the scoring three were Hope Rathnam (3:00:54) and Deepti Anand Cole (3:07:06, 12 minute PR) followed closely behind by Brenda Greene (3:07:32) with a 4:11 PR of her own. Said Deepti, "This was the first time for me as a GBTCer running in a big race and the name carried me though the race. Every few minutes I heard "Go Greater Boston" or "Go GBTC" … where the latter one emphasized someone's familiarity with the team and a sense of team spirit for me. I was so proud to be there running for the team."
The Men's team was lead by Sam Jurek (2:31:12, 3 minute PR), followed by Brian McNamara (2:32:46, 6 minute PR), and Anthony Walsh (2:36:06 bettering his previous best by nine and a half minutes).
Race photos taken by David Burgess are now available here.
The Greater Boston Track Club returns to action on the track this weekend at MIT and Fitchburg State.
To Our Running Community,
We first want to thank all those who expressed concern about the runners and supporters of the Greater Boston Track Club.
We are lucky in one sense that, as we know of today, no member or family member was impacted by the tragic events at the finish line of the Boston Marathon on April 15th. However, we are greatly saddened by the deaths and injuries to our running community brethren who were so viciously attacked in the city that we love. Our team extends our condolences and sympathy to all those directly affected, and our hands and help are always there in case of need.
While we are confused by the events that occurred yesterday, we are clear on one thing: we will continue to cherish the sport we love in the city we love. We will be back running and contributing to the Boston Marathon next year in even stronger force. Our full support goes to the Boston Athletic Association as not only a fellow running club, but as a tremendous contributor to our sport in the region and globally. We fully expect them to come back even stronger in running events not only this year and in the Boston Marathon next year, but for many years to come.
Thank you.
The Greater Boston Track Club
Stemming from yesterday's attack at about 2:50 PM, the club has been collecting check-ins via its facebook page, from members and alumni who were attending yesterday's Boston Marathon. If you are looking for someone, please check there or contact the club directly at email@example.com.
USATF-NE President and our Coach Tom Derderian made it home fine after a prolonged security lock-down within the Fairmont Copley Plaza, site of the marathon event press room. He previously posted publicly, via Facebook (4/15, 7:45 PM EDT):
I am out of lockdown in the Copley plaza. This attack on the Boston Marathon, this bombing, is something many people have feared for years. The horrible, senseless killing is so counter to a happy sporting event so will change big city marathons forever. How can a race secure both sides of a 26 mile long playing field? This is the worst thing ever in Boston Marathon history.
In the team competition, GBTC's open men finished 5th, the open women finished 4th, and the masters men finished 12th. The status of the race results is wholly unclear, as the race was abruptly terminated after the attack.
Club President John Raguin intends to post his statement here sometime after 6PM tonight.
The regular Tuesday evening workouts are still on for tonight.
Yesterday's transgression against athletes, clubs, their supporters, and our hometown gives us pause.
GBTC Vice-President Matt Haringa sez:
In celebration of the Greater Boston Track Club's 40th Anniversary, vintage replica shirts are being made available to the general public. You may order them at the club store, here. Shipping is available for an additional five dollars within the US; please enter your shipping address in the comments field of the payment page.
Shipping is available for this limited time offer, and only for these particular shirts. The word is the club alumnus and enduring record holder Greg Meyer wants at least five of these. So be just like the stars of track and field: order your shirt NOW!
Coach and author Tom Derderian talked with Scott Simon on this morning's episode of NPR's Weekend Edition Saturday. The episode and transcript are available here. And the episode is embedded below.

1970's Kibbutz Volunteers from around the world
As part of the centenary celebrations of the kibbutz movement in Israel, the Kibbutz Program Center in Tel Aviv is reaching out to former volunteers all over the world to reconnect, take a trip down memory lane and if possible, join in celebrations planned for June 2011 in Israel.
The collective blast from the past is being spearheaded by Aya Sagi, director of the Kibbutz Program Center in Tel Aviv and her team.
"Hundreds of thousands of volunteers lived and worked in kibbutzim from the 1960s through to present times. For many of those who came for a taste of the unique cooperative communities in Israel, their kibbutz experience proved to be a watershed in their lives, a never to be forgotten positive period in their travels. We want to pool those memories, energies and ties during this very special centenary celebration, and hopefully our nostalgia for days gone by will bring about renewed interest in Israel and especially the kibbutz movement," said Sagi, a member of Kibbutz Tzora.
Figures recently published by the kibbutz movement show that volunteers from Britain were the largest number from any one country. An astounding 50,000 Brits have lived, worked and partied in one of the 270 kibbutzim since those communities opened their gates to outsiders in the early 1960s, with the largest wave at any one time having been during the 1967 Six-Day-War.
Surprisingly, the second largest number of volunteers came from South Africa with 40,000, Swedes in third place with 25,000, Denmark 20,000 and Germany 15,000.
Hundreds of volunteers over the years have married kibbutz folk and settled down to a life on the farm, others have settled in Israeli cities. Among those who went home one can find famous actors, artists, musicians and politicians, authors and journalists and even a European banker or two!
In latter years it is not uncommon to come across volunteers whose parents volunteered themselves and actively encouraged their offspring to do likewise.
When Sagi took over the KPC only 20 kibbutzim were still accepting volunteers from abroad but with coaxing she has managed to get another 10 kibbutzim on board and is hoping for more to join the ranks of host communities, in order to give all the potential volunteers a chance to share in what was once an almost top of the 'to do' list of young travelers from around the world. Well over a thousand volunteers are presently in Israel in 30 kibbutzim from the northern border with Lebanon (Kibbutz Baram with a large contingent of between 50-60 most of the year) and Kibbutz Samar, a small kibbutz near Eilat, and all points between.
"We see this as a very important project in terms of hopefully activating past volunteers in promoting a different image of Israel in today's difficult climate and influencing others by speaking of their positive experiences when they were in the country," said Sagi.
Former volunteers who want to reconnect with the kibbutz movement are invited to the KPC website where it is possible to register and also find long-lost friends from their volunteering period.

Dear Tony,
My daughter's father and another male and I were friends all through high school. My child's father and I got together senior year and our friend went to the Navy. My daughter's father passed away 5 years ago, at a very young age, from a massive anerusym to the brain. The friend came home to what I thought would be a casual visit to check on my daughter and I, but it turned out he came to discuss his interest in me. No one in our family knows we (3) were best friends in high school but us. Do you think it would be wrong for me to pursue this as a relationship?

If the female is trying to get away, it's rape. Dolphins are a lot like us, capable of the best and the worst behaviour. Would it be possible for a social species to evolve cooperation and altruism, while being free of xenophoby and cooperating for purposes harmful to outsiders, such as gang rape and raiding?

New 9th Grade Curriculum Off to a Good Start
Humans in the Natural World is a new course for 9th graders that blends science, English, and the social sciences of history, economics, and geography into a coherent whole rather than presenting material germane to these disciplines in vertical slices or "silos" many educators are coming to view as more convenient to scheduling and score keeping than they are to learning. Part of the beauty of independent schools is the freedom to change the curriculum when it becomes increasingly obvious that there are better ways to educate young minds. Humans in the Natural World (HNW) is one such change.
On Parent's Weekend, Rory '16, invited his mom to his HNW class. Classes were shortened to allow all of them to be presented, so there was only enough time to tour students' land plots where they are learning, among other things, the scientific art of observation. Here's what students were instructed to do:
HNW teacher, Zoe Parker (with paper and fog horn to call everyone back in time for lunch), led students and parents to the forest behind campus where the land plots are located. | Rory '16 shows his mom where the corners of his plot are flagged and the geological features that define the space. |
The macro observation is that this fallen tree has sprouted a form of mushrooms living in a colony of sorts. | On the micro level, the colony of fungi become unique individuals that occur in smaller clusters. But why are they here? |
What looks like a mat of moss from standing height morphs into miniature fern-like structures at the micro level. Can the pH of forest soil be predicted by the type of plants that thrive in it? | Isabel '16 playfully reminds Rory to watch his back when he's making micro observations. You just never know what's sneaking up on you while you're focused on other things. |

'bootleg', or 'little' A&M. Tarleton is big on traditions and school spirit. Located smack in the middle of Stephenville, Tx (also known as the 'Cowboy Capital of the World'); the 'country' look and lifestyle has rubbed off on a majority of the students, so be prepared to see boots and Wranglers (Tarleton is also an Ag school). Everyone is very friendly, polite, and nice, and the men will always hold the door open for a lady. Unfortunatly Tarleton has become infamous for the 'incident' with an MLK party that occured in January of 2007, but from a first hand account the students are NOT racist! Tarleton as mentioned earlier, is a true party school. Most people leave the parties drunk or completly shit face, but no worries, there's always a designated driver. Fraternities or other various student organizations are big on campus, and many people join them. The weekend starts on Thursday evening and ends at about 4 or 5 o'clock on Sunday morning. Bar nights are a way of life, and you'll meet many many amazing people. You'll get a quality education and it has some of the cheapest tuition in the state. All in all its a wonderful place to go, if you want to attend a smaller university. (April of Senior Year)
