• England grind their way to a lead of 296
• Compton's future in doubt after another failure
• England dismissed for 354 on third morning
• NZ then bowled out for 174, 180 behind
• Cook chooses not to enforce follow-on

WRAP: The weather forecast tomorrow is good. England, and Jonathan Trott in particular, will hope they're right. The likelihood is that England will still seal a 2-0 series victory at some point tomorrow, and yet the metamorphic rate of progress still tends to leave one a little cold. You could argue that there are two days left, and Trott was merely giving England the best chance of winning the series. You could argue that that's just the way Trott bats, and his Test record more than stands up to scrutiny. But naturally, there's an alternative view. You could argue that it's not much good winning Test matches if half the crowd are bored stiff in the process and the other half vow never to return. You could argue that any team with designs on greatness should look to win in style, especially against such limited opposition. You could even argue that if you're going to charge £40 for a ticket, the very least you can do is put on a bit of a show.
That debate will probably rumble on for as long as cricket is played. In the process, we risk eliding a marvellous bowling performance from England on a pitch that is slowly dying in front of our eyes. Graeme Swann certainly looked back to his best, Steven Finn threatened throughout, and even Jimmy Anderson chipped in with a wicket at the end there. Yes, England have batted slowly, but it was their bowling earlier in the day that gave them the luxury to do so. Ben Bloom and Nick Pearce will be here tomorrow - you won't miss a thing. See you soon.
OVER 41: ENG 116/1 Cook 88* Trott 11*
Williamson returns for what will certainly be the last over of the day. And Cook cuts him for four! Tell you what, if England's top three were Cook, Cook and Cook, England would probably be in a position to declare right now. Cook nudges a single into the leg side, giving Trott four balls... and he drives the second one through the covers for two runs! Enormous cheers around Headingley as Trott finally makes it into double figures. And so England end the day 296 runs ahead and around the same number of Headingley spectators still awake. England surely can't lose this game, but you wish they'd just been a little brisker about it.
OVER 40: ENG 109/1 Cook 83* Trott 9*
Watching Jonathan Trott bat at the moment is like playing Scrabble with an idiot. The game flows quite nicely - ooh, nice word, nice word - until it gets to Trott. And then it just grinds to a halt. It's more than puzzling, it's bizarre. It's as if there's two days left in the match and he's going to use as much of them as he can. Another chuffing maiden. Vaughan, whaddya reckon?
OVER 39: ENG 109/1 Cook 83* Trott 9*
Wagner strays onto Cook's pads again, and Cook flicks through mid-wicket for two more. Oh, by the way, Ireland have lost. Sorry about that. Probably two more overs to be bowled today. England lead by 289.
OVER 38: ENG 107/1 Cook 81* Trott 9*
Southee has switched ends, which necessitates another summit between bowler and captain, and more tweaking of the field. This Test match is increasingly beginning to resemble two sides who are trying to pick up the rules of cricket as they going along. New Zealand still going with the two men catching on the leg side, but Cook bisects them with a lovely flick off his pads! Four runs! Another single into the deep, and if you don't count England's 10 extras, Cook has now scored 84% of England's runs off the bat. That, you would be right in concluding, is insane.
OVER 37: ENG 102/1 Cook 76* Trott 9*
Wagner returns. Cook bunts him to the cover sweeper for a single. And now Trott wants a new guard. "Leg stump, please," he says. It's an interesting field to Trott: one slip, a gully and two short extra covers, as well as a man on the drive at short mid-on. Trott knocks his first ball from Wagner into the leg side and sets off for a run. But Cook's sent him back! Trott's out if Brownlie hits! Brownlie misses! He had only one stump to aim at, Brownlie, but he didn't miss by much.
OVER 36: ENG 101/1 Cook 75* Trott 9*
Trott blocks two balls from Williamson. Bowler and captain confer in mid-pitch, wondering how to tempt Trott into an attacking shot - any attacking shot. Mike Brearley, in an apocryphal tale I suspect may actually be true, once put the spare fielding helmet at extra cover to try and induce the batsman into a drive. No such zaniness here, though, and Williamson stacks up another six scoreless deliveries.
OVER 35: ENG 101/1 Cook 75* Trott 9*
Change of tack from Southee: he's now going around the stumps, with only one slip in place and two catchers at short mid-wicket. Cook almost brings them into play when he turns a full toss on middle-and-leg straight to them. But Southee hasn't quite got his radar right, and when he offers up a juicy half-volley outside off, Cook despatches it well in front of square for four to bring up England's century.
OVER 34: ENG 97/1 Cook 71* Trott 9*
Trott tries to work the ball through mid-wicket, but despite beating the man on the drive, he can't beat the man saving one. McCullum's field placings have, by and large, been pretty good. Trott finally gets a run - his first run in about half an hour - with a quick single into the covers. Actually, it's been more than half an hour, because there was a drinks break in there as well. Cook then gets across his stumps and tries to play the paddle sweep, but McCullum anticipates and gets across to block the shot. In fact, was that a drop? It'd be harsh on McCullum, who probably saved three runs there, but the ball did hit his pads on the full...
OVER 33: ENG 95/1 Cook 70* Trott 8*
An ironic cheer goes up as Cook drives Southee through the covers for two runs. Um, I don't know quite how this has happened, but all of a sudden, having been down and out in Dublin, Pakistan somehow only need 8 off 18 balls against Ireland. Wahab Riaz has gone a bit mental. Which is a valuable lesson for all of us in not counting your potatoes before they've been peeled, or whatever the expression is.
OVER 32: ENG 93/1 Cook 68* Trott 8*
Trott plays out a maiden from Williamson. He's now on 8 from 44 balls. I tell you what, if the weather comes in tomorrow and England end up drawing this, there'll be hell to pay. If you ask me, England have more than enough runs to win this game already. Of course, Alastair Cook very rarely asks me about anything, let alone how to play cricket, and so the current viscous run rate - 21 runs in the last 14 overs - continues.
Alan Houghton writes: "In the olden days Sunday was a rest day. A good day's bowling on Saturday wouldn't be as stressful if the follow-on was enforced."
OVER 31: ENG 93/1 Cook 68* Trott 8*
Southee returns after a fine spell from Bracewell: 6-3-12-0. It's a maiden. Below is a slightly better picture of the pitch invader. They really do crack down these days, don't they? I remember merrily running onto the Lord's turf after Warwickshire had turned over Northants in the 1995 Natwest Trophy final. The crowd used to gather in front of the pavilion and watch the trophy being presented. It was after a series of dangerous pitch invasions during the England v Pakistan one-day series in 2001 that they decided to put a stop to them. "All it takes is one nutcase with a knife," I remember Alan Mullally saying, although whether he was advocating a greater emphasis on crowd safety or explaining his retirement from international cricket I can't quite recall.
OVER 30: ENG 93/1 Cook 68* Trott 8*
So this is the 30th over, and New Zealand's part-time spinner will have bowled 11 of them. It's fair to say New Zealand have misjudged this pitch. Perhaps they wanted to play a spinner but didn't think Vettori would make it through five days. As it is, he probably wouldn't have had to make it through three. Cook gets the only run of the over, pushed into the covers. England lead by 273.
OVER 29: ENG 92/1 Cook 67* Trott 8*
Bracewell hits Cook on the pad and appeals, but it's an appeal that doesn't really have a lot going for it. It pitched quite a long way outside leg stump, may have been bouncing over the stumps, and Cook might have hit it. The batsmen scamper a leg-bye, and then a very short bouncer from Bracewell balloons over Trott's head and Marais Erasmus deems it a wide.
John Marshall chides England's glacial progress: "It is reassuring to have Jonathan Trott batting when the England ship needs steadying, but not when quick runs are needed and there are wickets in hand. Or is batting order really so sacrosanct that it must be followed irrespective of circumstances?"
I'd say it's more a question of approach rather than personnel. Trott can score fairly briskly, as he has shown in one-day cricket. But yes, England could do with a little more flexibility in their batting order.
OVER 28: ENG 90/1 Cook 67* Trott 8*
We've got a pitch invader! Loud cheers as a fully-clothed gentleman bursts onto the outfield and manages to evade the many security folks pursuing him for a good minute. The guy seems to have taken his shoes off to aid his mobility, and after completing a full lap, he attempts to clamber back over the fence and retake his seat, whereupon security envelop him in a flourescent yellow blanket. You can just about make out the kerfuffle in this picture:
Anyway, three off the over and that's drinks.
OVER 27: ENG 87/1 Cook 64* Trott 8*
Cook works a single to the leg-side off Bracewell. It's been tough going since the wicket of Compton, which sounds a little counter-intuitive, but Bracewell and Williamson have kept it pretty tight. Bracewell's swinging it into the right hander, but Trott finally manages to clobber one, driving it very nicely indeed past mid-on's left hand for four. So, 20 overs left in the day, but we won't get all of them in. We'll play until 7pm, which will be 13 or 14 more overs if we're lucky.
OVER 26: ENG 82/1 Cook 63* Trott 4*
Cook reckons he's got four there, but Wagner does marvellously in the gully to get a hand to the ball and keep the batsmen down to a single. Beer snake alert!
OVER 25: ENG 81/1 Cook 62* Trott 4*
Trott seems perfectly content to play out a maiden from Bracewell. England lead by 261. Elsewhere in the World Of Cricket, Ireland look set to beat Pakistan in Clontarf, winning the two-match series in the process. Isn't that incredible? Pakistan are 141/7 and need 89 off the last 10 overs. It's not going to happen. I saw a little of the first game, and you might almost argue Ireland could have won that match as well. Instead, they had to settle for a tie despite Kevin O'Brien doing some very exciting things indeed. I know it's Pakistan, but still. Lads.
OVER 24: ENG 81/1 Cook 62* Trott 4*
Williamson continues, and why not? He's looked one of New Zealand's most dangerous bowlers. Trott goes for the sweep, and gets caught on the arm guard. Trott then lunges forward and gets an inside edge that runs away between his legs for a single. If his name had been Nick Compton, that inside edge would have ballooned up off his pad to short leg. That's the way it goes in this game.
OVER 23: ENG 80/1 Cook 62* Trott 3*
Ah, that's lovely from Cook. The ball was there to drive - it was a rare loose one from Bracewell - but Cook played it sweetly, timing the ball well and getting all of it. After a single past point, Trott is beaten by a corker - on off stump and seaming away. There's half an appeal from behind the stumps, but that was more in recognition of the quality of the delivery than anything else. Trott pushes the ball into the off side and saunters to the other end.
OVER 22: ENG 74/1 Cook 57* Trott 2*
That's nice and easy for Trott to get off the mark - short, spinning to leg, and turned away for two runs. Here's Compton trudging off. The last image you'll ever see of Compton batting in a Test match? Well, I hope not.
OVER 21: ENG 72/1 Cook 57* Trott 0*
Another good over from Bracewell to Cook. That's a maiden.
OVER 20: ENG 72/1 Cook 57* Trott 0*
Trott blocks his first ball. So where does this leave Compton? He'll go back to Somerset now, and I feel England have invested enough time and coaching in him now that should he score a hatful of runs in the first division, he'll probably get the benefit of the doubt going into the Ashes. But it's clear that he's in an awful run of form, and the fact that he's so hard on himself probably isn't helping. He wanted time at the crease, which he got - an hour and a half, more or less - but batting time without getting runs is a bit like signing up for piano lessons when you don't have any fingers: commendable, but not ultimately all that productive.
WICKET! Compton c Rutherford b Williamson 7 (45) ENG 72/1
Oh, dear. Compton offers up a simple bat-pad catch to short-leg, and his long evening grope is at an end. New Zealand celebrated immediately, only to realise that Marais Erasmus hadn't moved an inch. But after reviewing the decision, the inside edge was clear for all to see. There was no anger from Compton there, just a sad shake of the head and an expression of surrender. For the rest of us, it's like watching a feuding couple going through a long and protracted divorce. Obviously it isn't nice for anybody, but it's probably, you know, for the best.
OVER 19: ENG 72/0 Cook 57* Compton 7*
It's a decent start from Bracewell, so decent in fact that you wonder why he hadn't been used yet. Some very nice shape away from Cook, pitching on about middle-and-leg, and there's nothing for Cook to attack in that over. It's a maiden.
OVER 18: ENG 72/0 Cook 57* Compton 7*
Cook drives Williamson fluently through the covers. Southee's after it, and hauls the ball in just a couple of feet inside the rope. Cook trots back for a third run. Compton blocks out the rest of the over. The batsmen convene in the middle of the pitch.
Compton: Great stuff, skip. Let's keep it going. Decent start, but let's make sure we don't give it away.
Cook: Yeah, you fancy scoring a run any time soon?
Ah, here's Doug Bracewell.
OVER 17: ENG 69/0 Cook 54* Compton 7*
Short and wide from Wagner, cut away through backward point for four, and Cook moves to fifty! It's his first Test fifty since the century in Dunedin, and ominously for New Zealand, the last five times he's passed 50, he's gone on to double up. The man has now gone out onto the off-side boundary, and Cook finds him with a single. England lead by 249.
OVER 16: ENG 64/0 Cook 49* Compton 7*
Short and wide from Williamson, and Cook misses the cut as it keeps low. In fact, that's evaded McCullum too, and runs away for four byes. Williamson responds with a beautiful delivery that yanks past Cook's outside edge. The next ball is straighter, and swept by Cook fine for four. Cook keeps the strike and moves to 49 with a single.
OVER 15: ENG 55/0 Cook 44* Compton 7*
You actually feel a bit sorry for Compton at the moment. He reads the papers. He will know that Michael Vaughan does not think he is good enough to play for England. So he will batting with a desperation to do well, but without the faintest memory of what made him good in the first place. You can see in the way he chases that wide one from Wagner: a ball there for hitting, but Compton doesn't get near it. You can see it in the way he prods uncertainly at the last ball of the over, the ball fizzing past the outside edge with just a touch of extra bounce. Maiden over.
OVER 14: ENG 55/0 Cook 44* Compton 7*
McCullum has reinforced the off-side field, so even though Williamson bowls a few pies in that over, Cook can't break the inner ring. Maiden over.
OVER 13: ENG 55/0 Cook 44* Compton 7*
It's the Saturday evening of the Headingley Test match, so you can imagine what the ground sounds like at the moment. All the old Barmy Army favourites, football songs, the odd abortive Mexican wave. One off the over.
OVER 12: ENG 54/0 Cook 43* Compton 7*
Finally, Compton gets himself some runs. A little short from Williamson, and Compton can nudge it off his pads, through where a leg slip might have been had it been 1956, away for two runs that could have been three if the batsmen had got a hustle on. Perhaps Compton just wants to keep the strike. He gets two more, working the ball away with the spin through square leg.
OVER 11: ENG 50/0 Cook 43* Compton 3*
Cook flicks Wagner for four through mid-wicket to bring up the 50 partnership, of which Compton has contributed exactly three runs. Still, that's something he could do in the Ashes, I suppose: hold up an end and let Cook score all the runs. England lead by 230 at the end of that over, with plenty of time left in the day.
OVER 10: ENG 46/0 Cook 39* Compton 3*
Those of you wondering why Trent Boult isn't bowling: he's off the field with a side strain. There's a short delay at the start of this over as the umpires want to have a look at the state of the ball. It certainly looks a lot more than nine overs old, but that's because Alastair Cook's been treating it like a naughty nephew for half an hour. When the ball is finally tossed back to New Zealand, it's Kane Williamson to bowl. Pretty desperate times, this. But Williamson finds the edge in his first over, Cook propping forward and getting two as the ball runs past slip. A single off the last ball of the over, and Cook keeps the strike again. Is he protecting Compton like a tailender?
OVER 9: ENG 43/0 Cook 36* Compton 3*
Wagner to Compton, a contest which is likely to decide, once and for all, who is the most out-of-form cricketer currently playing in this Test match. (Trick question: it's probably actually Dean Brownlie.) Wagner serves up plenty of nice half-volleys, but Compton can't put away any of them, either finding the fielder or leaving them alone.
OVER 8: ENG 43/0 Cook 36* Compton 3*
Alastair Cook is quite simply doing whatever he wants. First he pushes Southee into the covers for two. The next ball is even fuller, so Cook treats this one to the full follow-through, stroking it away deliciously for four. The next one is edged, and whereas at Lord's that would have flown straight into Brownlie's adhesive hands, here it scoots through the gap and away for four more. A quick single into leg side, and a single to Compton off his pads, and England have scored 39 in the last four overs.
OVER 7: ENG 31/0 Cook 25* Compton 2*
No, no, no. Wagner is not bowling very well to Cook at all. Full and wide, and as well all know, You Can't Bowl There To Alastair Cook. Stroked away for four. The next one is shorter and wider, and Cook flings his arms at the ball and cuts it away for four more. Wagner sends the next one down the leg side, past McCullum's desperate outstretched glove and away for four byes. Dear, dear. Wagner's really struggling here. Cook keeps the strike with a single off the last ball.
OVER 6: ENG 18/0 Cook 16* Compton 2*
Cook pushes down the ground for two runs, Bracewell at mid-on diving to his right and getting fingers to the ball to prevent the boundary. Plenty of swing for Southee, though, and Cook has to shuffle crab-like across his stumps to keep out a couple of late in-duckers. The last ball is in the slot, and Cook nudges it watchfully into the cover gap for three runs.
OVER 5: ENG 13/0 Cook 11* Compton 2*
Four runs! Width from Wagner, and Cook can finally free his arms and cut it to the backward point fence. Wagner over-adjusts, sending the next ball down the leg side before serving up a nice half-volley that Cook can turn through mid-wicket for four more. Another single off his pads to end the over. England lead by 193.
OVER 4: ENG 4/0 Cook 2* Compton 2*
Compton blocks out an over from Southee, though not entirely securely: there's still just a hint of crookedness to his downswing, just as there was to Michael Vaughan's during his occasional troughs. Those of you wondering why teams don't enforce the follow-on as much these days could do a good deal worse than read this piece on the subject by Scyld Berry a couple of months ago:
Pace bowlers break down with stress fractures when they are over-bowled, and this often happens during the follow-on. Medical research has confirmed this trend, but England needed no proof after two of their experiences at Lord's.
In 2006 England's captain Andrew Flintoff flogged himself into the ground, bowling 51 overs when Sri Lanka followed on, which did nothing for his knees and longevity. All to no avail, as Sri Lanka drew. In 2008 England, under Michael Vaughan, made South Africa follow on at Lord's. They dug in: Graeme Smith, Neil McKenzie and Hashim Amla all hit centuries. England used three new balls, again to no avail.
OVER 3: ENG 4/0 Cook 2* Compton 2*
After four delectable outswingers, Boult nips one back into Cook's pads and very nearly traps him in front. Instead, the ball's just drifting down leg, and is just a trifle high as well.
OVER 2: ENG 4/0 Cook 2* Compton 2*
Compton almost committed hara-kiri there! Short and wide from Southee, and Compton is so puppyishly eager to seize it that he's too early on the cut shot and gets an inside edge that only narrowly misses his stumps. He's beaten off the last ball of the over too, a wicked outswinger that few players could have laid a bat on. Predictably, Sir Ian Botham reckons England should have enforced the follow-on. "The last thing New Zealand will want is to have another bat," he says in an almost identical echo of his comments from yesterday morning. Michael Atherton reminds him that the greatest moment of Botham's career came on this very ground after a captain inadvisedly enforced the follow-on. "All the more reason to enforce it," retorts Botham with his own inimitable logic. Oh, it's Jonathan Liew here by the way. Those of you wondering why I'm taking over in Over 2 rather than Over 1 have correctly noted that my timekeeping is not great.
OVER 1: ENG 2/0 Cook 1* Compton 1*
All eyes are now on Compton. A lot of cricket writers believe he's not good enough and that Root should open the batting instead. This is Compton's opportunity to prove them wrong. A single off Boult at least means he's avoided a duck.
OVER 44: NZ 174/10 Boult 23*
Anderson's first ball is smashed for four by Wagner to bring up their fifty partnership. It's clever batting by Wagner. He hits over the top when the field is up and takes the singles when it's pushed back. But he's clearly got attacking shots on his mind as he wildly swings at a straight and full delivery from Jimmy and has his middle stump knocked back. New Zealand are 180 runs behind - they needed to get to within 150 to avoid the follow-on - but England have decided not to enforce it and will bat again. Oh, and tea is taken.
WICKET! Wagner b Anderson for 27 - NZ 174/10
Anderson cleans up Wagner as he misses a swing across the line and is bowled.
OVER 43: NZ 168/9 Wagner 22* Boult 23*
These two tailenders are batting better than any of New Zealand's top order as Boult first dabs Swann for four and than clobbers him for two sixes. Sensational stuff, straight back down the ground. NZ have now scored 35 off the last two overs. Anderson is coming back into the attack.
OVER 42: NZ 152/9 Wagner 22* Boult 7*
Change of tactic by Broad as he goes around the wicket to Wagner. And it nearly pays off as the Kiwi tailender edges between slip and gully to third man for four. Why are England not filling the cordon and plugging that gap? Broad is telling Cook that he wants the space filled as another edge off Wagner's bat goes for four. Wagner is going after anything Broad throws at him and pulls the paceman for four with what can only be described as an agricultural swipe. That's three fours off the over and he adds a fourth back down the ground. That's 19 off the over.
OVER 41: NZ 133/9 Wagner 4* Boult 7*
New Zealand need runs desperately to avoid the follow-on - it's 205 in case you're wondering - and Boult complies by smacking Swann over his head for six!
OVER 40: NZ 127/9 Wagner 4* Boult 1*
New Zealand are in disarray as McCullum departs to the first ball of Broad's over. The Kiwi skipper edges a regulation chance behind and Prior gratefully pouches the opportunity. Boult, not known for his batting, nearly goes early as he fends off a short ball and it flies wide of short leg. Wagner then edges between slip and gully for four. New Zealand are living on a knife edge.
WICKET! McCullum ct Prior b Broad for 20 - NZ 122/9
McCullum out driving at a length ball as he was in the first innings at Lord's.
OVER 39: NZ 122/8 McCullum 20* Wagner 0*
Sharp work at silly point from Bell sees yet another New Zealand wicket fall as Bracewell departs caught bat-pad. More brilliant bowling by Swann and that's his fourth of the innings. New Zealand need to reach 205 to avoid the follow-on.
WICKET! Bracewell ct Bell b Swann for 1 - NZ 122/8
Bracewell leans forward to a length ball and pops a catch towards silly point where Ian Bell snaffles a sharp chance
OVER 38: NZ 122/7 McCullum 20* Bracewell 1*
The ball still isn't doing a great deal for the pace bowlers, but the probing line and length of Broad is proving a handful. A single off the final ball of the over means Bracewell will have to face Swann next up.
OVER 37: NZ 120/7 McCullum 19* Bracewell 0*
Swann continues and there's just a single off the over. Not a lot left in the locker for New Zealand. A lot of pressure now on McCullum.
OVER 36: NZ 119/7 McCullum 18* Bracewell 0*
If England thought Southee was going to be a walking wicket they were clearly mistaken as the tailender straight-bats Broad back down the ground for a sublime four. Lovely stroke. And he follows that up with a pull shot for two. Broad decides to forget about the short stuff and instead fires his next delivery into the pads... and there's an appeal. Umpire says no, but England review it. Hot spot suggests it was pad first. And that's out, Southee has gone lbw.
WICKET! Southee lbw Broad for 19 - NZ 119/7
A full delivery strikes Southee's pads but the umpire says no, thinking it's bat first. England review it and hotspot shows it's pad first.
OVER 35: NZ 113/6 McCullum 18* Southee 13*
Too full from Swann and nicely put away by McCullum to the cover boundary. The New Zealand skipper looks like he's forgotten about his back ache and appears to be batting more freely. He even tries a reverse sweep which hits Jonathan Trott on the boot at slip. Not sure that's really the shot he should be playing with his country six down. Nevertheless, an expensive over from Swann as 10 runs are conceded.
OVER 34: NZ 103/6 McCullum 11* Southee 10*
Broad is brought back into the attack in place of Finn. And while Finn was pitching it in short, Broad is going for the fuller delivery which, so far, is enticing the drive and only an energetic dive by Anderson prevents a McCullum boundary.
OVER 33: NZ 100/6 McCullum 9* Southee 10*
England are sensing a follow-on opportunity here but, with McCullum at the crease, New Zealand aren't out of this. And he brings up three figures for the Black Caps with a cut single to deep point off Swann. I've just been reminded to point out that, as the game started a day late (and there was no toss until the second morning), the follow-on is 150 behind.
OVER 32: NZ 99/6 McCullum 8* Southee 10*
Finn is peppering Southee with some short stuff. The first goes for four as Southee cuts wide of backward point. Finn simply smiles. He knows the New Zealand bowler can't resist going after him and that a wicket is only a matter of time. Time for drinks.
OVER 31: NZ 93/6 McCullum 8* Southee 4*
Swann is bowling some corkers out there but whenever he drops one short it gives the batsman all the time in the world to rock back and cut to the boundary, which is just what McCullum does. A loud appeal follows as McCullum leaves one alone and it hits his pads, but umpire Erasmus says no and replays show it's missing by a mile.
OVER 30: NZ 89/6 McCullum 4* Southee 4*
McCullum looks as though he's struggling with his back, he's running very uncomfortably and seems glad to be off strike as he scampers for a single. Tim Southee takes his guard and is nearly dismissed first ball, getting an inside edge that races away for four but comes within a centimetre of hitting the stumps.
OVER 29: NZ 82/6 McCullum 0* Southee 0*
Swann is targeting a delicious-looking patch of rough outside the right-hander's off stump. And he's done it again!!! What a wicket, what a beauty. Drift away, spin in, top of off. Guptill pushes hard at the ball, leaves a huge gap between bat and pad and that's exactly where the ball darts back into.
WICKET! Guptill b Swann for 1 - NZ 81/5
Guptill lunges forward, the ball lands in the footmarks again, spins and goes through the gap between pad and bat, hitting the top of the off stump.
In comes Brendon McCullum and Swann is causing havoc. A single for the NZ skipper brings Williamson on strike... and it looks like he's gone too. A huge appeal from England as Williamson is hit on the pads. Umpire says no but he was so far across his stumps that England must surely go upstairs, which they do. And it's been overturned, Williamson is out!
WICKET! Williamson lbw Swann for 13 - NZ 82/6
Swann lands it outside off and Williamson shuffles across as the ball spins and strikes the pad. The umpire shakes his head but it's reviewed and overturned.
OVER 28: NZ 81/4 Williamson 13* Guptill 1*
England are in total control now, Finn producing some scary pace at one end and Swann fizzing it out of the foot marks at the other. Guptill is normally an opening batsman so it will be strange for him coming in this late in the order. Two off this Finn over.
OVER 27: NZ 79/4 Williamson 12* Guptill 0*
Swann is finally introduced into the attack by Cook. He's got a slip, short leg and short midwicket. This is just Swann's ninth over of the series. So far it's been all about the pace bowlers. Now it's Swanny's time to shine. There's a little bit of rough for him to play with. And he's getting good drift, but not real turn, judging by his first few deliveries. And just as I say that, he's got one to turn and bags himself a wicket. Drift, hits a foot hole, spins in and takes off stump. What a beauty.
WICKET! Brownlie b Swann for 2 - NZ 79/4
Swann drifts one in and lands the ball on the footmarks wide of the off stump. Brownlie is forward to defend, fails to account for the turn and the ball shaves off stump.
OVER 26: NZ 76/3 Williamson 9* Brownlie 2*
Finn's pace is now up around the 88mph mark, consistently, and New Zealand's batsmen don't look comfortable. Captain Cook, on the other hand, has a huge smile on his face. The sun is shining, it's day three and England have three New Zealand wickets in the bank. Plus he still has Swann up his sleeve. Speaking of which...
OVER 25: NZ 74/3 Williamson 8* Brownlie 1*
Brownlie gets off the mark with a single worked towards square leg. New Zealand seem to be playing in singles and dot balls now as England claim the upper hand.
OVER 24: NZ 72/3 Williamson 7* Brownlie 0*
Brownlie nearly has his face removed by a Finn bouncer, just about ducking out of the way as it whistles through. Finn's tactic is clear, unnerve the batsmen with some chin music and throw in the odd pitched-up delivery. Another maiden over.
OVER 23: NZ 72/3 Williamson 7* Brownlie 0*
Interesting! The ball is starting to keep a little low off a full length and Williamson is nearly undone as Broad yelps at how close he comes to bowling the right-hander. An inside edge saved him. Maiden over.
OVER 22: NZ 72/3 Williamson 7* Brownlie 0*
A short, wide ball from Finn is dealt with by Taylor, who rocks back and cuts the cherry to the boundary. Poor delivery. Finn may have taken the pace off that last ball because Taylor had all the time in the world to dispatch it. Finny needs to get back to bowling 85mph+... and he does... and it pays off... WICKET! Taylor is undone by the extra zip and plays on. In comes Brownlie and he looks uncomfortable with the extra pace Finn has found from somewhere. Good over.
WICKET! Taylor b Finn for 6 - NZ 72/3
Extra pace cramps Taylor for room and he drags the ball down onto his stumps off an inside edge.
OVER 21: NZ 68/2 Williamson 7* Taylor 2*
Loud appeal from Broad and Prior as the tall paceman gets one to cut in and strikes Williamson on the pad. Nothing given, though. No stroke played, which is always a bit of a risk, but that ball wouldn't even of hit a fourth stump. Williamson is being very watchful of anything outside off. Single off the over.
OVER 20: NZ 67/2 Williamson 7* Taylor 2*
Taylor faces Finn and he gets off the mark with a single off a short ball that was rising towards his face. Always a relief for any batsman to avoid the dreaded duck. New Zealand's running has been superb today, picking up quick singles and rotating the strike.
OVER 19: NZ 64/2 Williamson 6* Taylor 0*
Welcome back. The skies are still a beautiful blue at Headingley and, with the ball not swinging much, it should be a batsman's paradise - providing the Kiwis don't keep giving away their wickets! Broad kicks us off and it's perfect line and length to start, but no shape and a comfortable forward defence from Williamson. First attacking stroke of the session as Broad looks to bang one in and Williamson swivels, pulls and picks up two.
OVER 18: NZ 62/2 Williamson 4* Taylor 0*
Rutherford has been batting so well, it would be a shame if he threw away his wicket now, and he nearly does so with a wild slash at a Finn wide one that just misses the top edge as it sails through to Prior. And he plays and misses next ball, too, For some reason he seems to be playing looser... and he pays for it with his wicket - a thick outside edge to gully. Out comes Ross Taylor to face one delivery before lunch - that's cruel - and England circle him like vultures. Will he survive? Yes. And that's lunch.
WICKET! Rutherford ct Bell b Finn for 27 - NZ 62/2
A full delivery outside off draws Rutherford into a drive and it squirts off a thick outside edge to Ian Bell at gully.
Let's hope Rudds Junior can stick around and perform like he did last time a game had the first day washed out. Although the Kiwis need a better result in this Test than what they got in Dunedin, that rainy day denied us a good chance of a result to go one up in the series - Mark and Anita Geddes
OVER 17: NZ 62/1 Rutherford 27* Williamson 4*
Broad is beginning to find a bit of late swing, but when he pitches the ball too full that's bread and butter for Williamson who plants his foot to the pitch and straight drives it back past the bowler for four. And he's off the mark, too.
OVER 16: NZ 57/1 Rutherford 26* Williamson 0*
More pace as Finn runs in. Cook must be holding back Graeme Swann. The statistics reveals that spin bowlers don't have much joy at Headingley. Over 90 per cent of all wickets to fall here have been by pace. And Finn shows why as he pitches the ball around and about middle and leg and it swings away past off. That's unplayable and Rutherford acknowledges that.
OVER 15: NZ 56/1 Rutherford 25* Williamson 0*
England will put a high price on Williamson's wicket as his technique is sound and he loves to occupy the crease. Broad replaces Anderson, with three slips and a gully in place. Cook once more works his magic on the ball, shining it hard. Still no swing for Broad, though.
OVER 14: NZ 55/1 Rutherford 24* Williamson 0*
Finn to Fulton... and that's a wicket off the second ball! Fulton gets a leading edge, the ball pops up into the air and Finn is under it to take a comfortable catch. That was a gift. Unlucky for Fulton as he was playing well. Replays show that the ball seemed to spurt off the track as it angled in to the batsman. Finn's tail is up and he's bowling consistently around the 86mph mark as Kane Williamson takes evasive action to a couple of bouncers.
WICKET! Fulton c&b Finn for 28 - NZ 55/1
Fulton aims to work the ball to the leg side and gets a healthy leading edge which goes a long way up towards the off side and Finn steadies himself under a simple catch.
OVER 13: NZ 55/0 Fulton 28* Rutherford 24*
Cook has given 'The Angry Man' another over - that's Anderson to you and me - just to see if he can extract some swing out of this ball. Rutherford picks up a single to bring up the fifty partnership. It's all far too straight, and batting becomes so much simpler when the ball isn't moving. And any luck going on out there belongs to New Zealand as Fulton looks to cut Anderson and gets a bottom edge that misses his stumps by a whisker.
OVER 12: NZ 49/0 Fulton 23* Rutherford 23*
Finn continues, although it might be worth going with Swann from the other end to change the pace a little. And Anderson looks like he needs to cool off. Anyway, back to Finn. The pace is starting to look good as he cuts Fulton in two, but still no swing. So much for the change of ball. Fulton is so strong off his pads and clips Finn for four. The England bowler holds his hands on his head, knowing that if the batsman had missed that was a plumb lbw, but that Fulton's area of strength so it may have looked close, but it really wasn't.
OVER 11: NZ 43/0 Fulton 19* Rutherford 23*
England's complaint about the ball might actually be justified.... it's wonky! The umpires are doing their thing of trying to get it through a certain sized hole and it won't go. Therefore it's a wrong'un and the third umpire is now bringing out his box of replacement Dukes. Anderson will be desperate to get one that swings. Let's see if there's any change.. first ball straight onto the pads. No clue there. How about the second? Again onto the pads. He's not even giving it a chance to swing. Jimmy's clearly in one of those moods, he looks disgruntled. And that mood just got darker as Rutherford, stand and deliver style, hammers him to the cover boundary. This change of ball has been expensive. Nine off the over.
OVER 10: NZ 34/0 Fulton 19* Rutherford 15*
First bowling change as Finn comes into the attack, replacing Broad, and straight away Fulton cover-drives him to the boundary. England need pace and bounce from Finn and so far that's not happening. An 84mph half-volley is just what the bastman ordered. A clip off his pads then earns Fulton three and Finn's rhythm looks off.
OVER 9: NZ 27/0 Fulton 12* Rutherford 15*
The New Zealand coaches will be delighted at how the openers have weathered the England bowlers. Anderson is spanked by Rutherford back down the ground for four and then clipped to the boundary two balls later. Terrific shot making. A furious Jimmy hurls the ball at his captain saying (with his eyes) "do something with that skip" as Cook goes back to shining it feverishly on his thigh. Anderson is not happy with the ball (because it's not swinging, not because there's anything wrong with it) but the umpire tells him to get on with bowling and stop moaning. Looks like Finn is coming on next.
OVER 8: NZ 19/0 Fulton 12* Rutherford 7*
Shot of the day so far goes to Fulton as he drives Broad, full face of the bat, back down the ground to the ropes for four. Broad, however, is getting one to nip back now and again and the inside edge is becoming a regular occurance. England are definitely targeting lbw against Fulton and so far, for New Zealand at least, so good.
OVER 7: NZ 15/0 Fulton 8* Rutherford 7*
Alastair Cook is going to town on the ball, rubbing it furiously to get as much shine on one side as possible. Maiden over from Anderson but still the swing seems be lacking.
OVER 6: NZ 15/0 Fulton 8* Rutherford 7*
A loud groan from Broad as he fires one in at Fulton's pads and the batsman just gets his bat down in time to block. Good line by Broad and, wierdly, good line for Fulton because he's not so hot outside his offstump but seems fairly comfortable with the ball on his pads.
OVER 5: NZ 14/0 Fulton 8* Rutherford 6*
Anderson looks on the money. Like Broad, the swing seems to have disappeared somewhat, but line and length spot on. Just a single off the over.
OVER 4: NZ 13/0 Fulton 8* Rutherford 5*
England have had the Kiwi batsmen under the cosh so far but Fulton finally release the shackles and whips a shot of intent off his pads, wide of midwicket, for four. Slightly worryingly for England, Broad seems to have lost his length.
OVER 3: NZ 7/0 Fulton 2* Rutherford 5*
So neary the first wicket of the day for England as Rutherford gets an inside edge off Anderson. That's how England will target Rutherford, angling the ball towards the off stump. He stays back at the crease and gets a thick inside edge that narrowly misses the stumps and rolls to fine leg for four. So close.
OVER 2: NZ 2/0 Fulton 1* Rutherford 1*
Stuart Broad, also known as "The Destroyer" by New Zealand's top order, is into the swing (literally) already. Rutherford leaves one that cuts into him and it must have missed clipping the stumps by millimetres. We'll put it down to a good leave, but that will have been too close for comfort for the batsman. Two singles from the over.
OVER 1: NZ 0/0 Fulton 0* Rutherford 0*
After seeing Boult and Southee swinging the ball this way and that, Jimmy Anderson will be licking his lips as he eyes up Peter Fulton's off stump. And the ball is already doing things in the air. Fulton is certainly cautious about hanging his bat outside the line. Dot ball, dot ball, dot ball, dot ball, dot ball, dot ball. Good start by England.
OVER 99: ENG 354/10 Swann 26*
Runs from Finn! First a couple with the ball swinging in quite sharply and whipped away wide of midwicket. Then a hammer blow back down the ground for four. If that had hit Boult's legs... well... he wouldn't have any. Finn is on fire, he's got that look in his eyes. He tries to repeat the same shot but this time Boult has his number, gets one to cut in and TIIIIIMMMBBEEEERRRRR! Finn's off stump goes cartwheeling backwards. A fine little cameo, though.
WICKET! Finn b Boult for 6 - Eng 354-9
Finn tries to get his high backlift down for the drive, the ball hits the off stump and it goes flying.
Now it's Anderson's turn... and he last three balls before chipping one back to Boult for a caught and bowled. That's England's innings over and five wickets for Boult.
WICKET! Anderson c&B Boult for 0 - Eng 354 all out
Boult pitches it up on the off stump, Anderson is forced into leading edge that goes low to Boult who adjusts quickly in his follow through and takes the catch inches off the ground.
OVER 98: ENG 348/8 Swann 26* Finn 0*
Now that his partner in crime has gone, Swann has decided to go on the attack and slashes at a Southee bouncer, misses completely and nearly gets decapitated. The thing with Swanny is that he loves the sound of bat on ball. The sound of cork fizzing past his ear does nothing for him. A loud appeal from Southee off the last ball of the over is again rejected by the ump. It looked from the naked eye that it was missing but HawkEye suggests not.
OVER 97: ENG 346/8 Swann 24* Finn 0*
Loud appeal from Boult as he raps Steven Finn on the pads. The umpire shakes his head, though, and New Zealand have used up all their appeals so can't challenge. That was very, very close.
OVER 96: ENG 345/8 Swann 23* Finn 0*
A very tired-looking first delivery by Tim Southee results in a wide off his first ball of the day. That delivery arm was very low, he must still be struggling after yesterday's exertions. But it's Southee who then puts the first tick in the wicket box with his fourth delivery as Prior attacks an away swinger and edges to Ross Taylor at first slip. Decent pace and good carry. McCullum half thought about going for that one but did well not too because that was straight down Taylor's throat.
WICKET! Prior ct Taylor b Southee for 39 - Eng 345-8
A wild waft outside off stump takes the edge of Prior's bat and is comfortably held by Ross Taylor at first slip.
OVER 95: ENG 343/7 Prior 39* Swann 22*
Trent Boult has the ball in his hands. 98 overs are to be bowled today to make up for lost time after day one's wash-out. And the first run of the day is scored by Prior as he glances a single off his hips. The ball is certainly swinging a fair bit after pitching and Boult concedes a four as he fires one down leg side out of the reach of McCullum's gloves.
10.55 Brendon McCullum is leading his NZ team out onto the Headingley turf - 'Jerusalem' belting out of the loud speakers. And here come Swann and Prior to a huge round of applause.
10.30 Morning all. It's another beautiful day in God's own county so we can, hopefully, expect England's tail to wag and plenty more runs to be totted up on the old scoreboard.
For those who don't believe me, here's today's forecast...
And while we adjust our chairs, place a cold glass of refreshing beverage on the side table and settle down for what should be an enthralling day's play, let's get in some required reading to set the scene.

WWE star Brock Lesnar is adding an arsenal as he was promoted to Blue Belt in jiu-jitsu by Brazilian jiu-jitsu master Rodrigo 'Comprido' Medeiros int time for his upcoming fight against Mark Hunt at UFC 200.
It would be remembered that Lesnar displayed his ground abilities with his win over Shane Carwin back in 2010, locking up an arm-triangle choke once "The Engineer" ran out his batteries.
Medeiros noted that he had been training with Lesnar when he retired back from the UFC and returned to the WWE. He admitted that getting back in the wrestling entertainment scene had Lesnar's jiu-jitsu degrade a notch a bit, but believes The Next Big Thing has improved greatly.
"I've been working with Brock now for eight years. The training went down a notch when he went back to WWE and retired, but I still work with him, Cole Konrad and Marty Morgan – NCAA wrestling champions – and they're at a level way higher than that of a blue belt," Medeiros said.
"But we can't jump the belts, right? We were always worried about no-gi in the fight camp, we never had the chance for this. So now we had a little more time we did some training in the gi, I decided to give them the belts."
ALSO READ: UFC Rumor: Brock Lesnar to face Mark Hunt at UFC 200 as CM Punk –Mikey Gall match set this fall?
'Comprido' Medeiros is a two-time black belt world champion, with a record for the fastest submission in a World Championships final – has been Brock Lesnar's jiu-jitsu coach since 2008. Aside from Lesnar also promoted were Lesnar's coach Marty Morgan, a 15-year veteran wrestling coach at the University of Minnesota, and Lesnar's training partner Cole Konrad, a NCAA champion and former MMA fighter who retired as heavyweight champion of Bellator.
Mark Hunt has promised that he will knock Lesnar out when the meet inside the Octagon on July 9 at UFC 200 which will also be a co-main event which will feature light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier against interim champion Jon Joes and Miesha Tate defending her women's bantamweight title against Amanda Nunes.

UFC 200 will be staged at the T-Mobile Arena of the MGM Grand in Las Vegas and with Lesnar's new arsenal, it will surely be something to watch for if he could score an upset against the Super Samoan.

|Store Sales Y/Y change
Same store sales were up 4.0 percent year-on-year in the September 23 week, picking up the pace by 0.4 percentage points after the prior week's sharper deceleration. Month-to-date sales versus the prior month were flat, while year-on-year full month sales were up 4.1 percent, unchanged from the prior week's reading. The week's uptick back up to 4.0 percent year-on-year growth, a level of strength not seen in over two years before being breached in late August, suggests that the negative impact of Hurricanes Harvey and Irma on sales at retailers in Redbook's sample may be less severe than some anticipated, and indicates strong ex-auto and ex-gas retail sales for September.
A weekly measure of comparable store sales at chain stores, discounters, and department stores. Redbook tracks week-to-week change, month-to-date change, and year-on-year change with the latter the most closely watched reading. The report offers early indications on ex-auto ex-gas retail sales.
Consumer spending accounts for two-thirds of the economy, so if you know what consumers are up to, you'll have a pretty good handle on where the economy is headed. Needless to say, that's a big advantage for investors.
The pattern in consumer spending is often the foremost influence on stock and bond markets. For stocks, strong economic growth translates to healthy corporate profits and higher stock prices. For bonds, the focus is whether economic growth goes overboard and leads to inflation. Ideally, the economy walks that fine line between strong growth and excessive (inflationary) growth. This balance was achieved through much of the nineties. For this reason alone, investors in the stock and bond markets enjoyed huge gains during the bull market of the 1990s. Spending at major retail chains did slow down in tandem with the equity market in 2000 and during the 2001 recession. Sales weakened again in 2008 due to the credit crunch and recession.
The Redbook is one of the more timely indicators of consumer spending, since it is reported every week. It gets extra attention around the holiday season when retailers make most of their profits. It is also a useful indicator when special factors can cause economic activity to momentarily slide. For instance, it was widely watched in the aftermath of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita which hit New Orleans and the Gulf Coast in 2005 and again when Hurricanes Irene and Sandy hit the East Coast in 2011 and 2012.

Question about Dell Latitude D600 Notebook
My wife's laptop's (Dell D600) screen won't work once windows boots up. I can go into the BIOS menu & see any & everything on the screen. Also, if I connect my desktop's monitor to the back of the laptop we can use it normally, but once windows boots up to the log-in screen for users the screen goes blank.
Can anyone help me with this one?
Posted by dscwmitchell on
Well, the F8 key is the one that selects the video display mode, but it didn't work. I also tried the F8 hold down, but that didn't give me any display options, just whether or not I wanted to go into safemode or last successful, etc., etc....
I appreciate the suggestions, but I'm still looking for a solution.
I will mention that I'm using this computer through the desktop monitor, so everything else seems to work well.
Thanks in advance,
Well, you have been VERY helpful with all of this. Thank you.
I have gotten the display to come on, but now the problem is the resolution is so low. It is usable, but very "unfriendly" to look at. If I try to change the display settings through the control panel-display dialog box, it turns the screen black. I can't select a higher resolution without it going away.
Got any ideas?
Thanks again,
OK, so I am using the laptop right now, in safe mode with networking. I am able to use it normally, except that I have to start it in safe mode. If I try to change ANY of the setting in the display settings & then apply them it reverts to the blank screen. The only choice I have in the advanced-monitor tab is the 60 Hz choice. Also, there is no tick in the "hide modes this monitor cannot display", & it's "greyed out", so that I can't make a change there either.
I'm a patient guy, so let me know if you can think of anything else.
Thanks again,
Well, I'm not sure what setting I changed to get this thing to work, but it IS working!! I thank you for you're suggestions.
My customer was attempting to use her latitude d600 to drive a external projector for a seminar. Somehow she managed to lose video on both the internal lcd and the external display. Upon booting you have video until Windows XP loads (and presumably the point where the video driver loads) then the screen goes blank while the system continues to boot up. The Fn + F8 keys DO switch activity between the two monitors but there is no display. Also, in safe mode it will boot just past MUP to AGP440.SYS and there it hangs. Tried switching modes in BIOS but it's PW locked.
I have read all the information here and tried the suggested solutions I have also replaced the inverter board and the problem still continues. I contacted Dell Supportand they recommended I wipe the hard drive. I have not wiped the hard drive since that is Dells recommended solution to every problem.
The problem we have is identical to his. Unfortunately, he doesn't know what he did to get it fixed. Anyone out there able to help?
Thanks in advance for your help,
What I've found on two laptops I've worked on in the past two years is that in a case like this, there is a little pin near the power button (or on the strip up near the display) that tells the laptop when the monitor is closed. If that pin gets stuck, the computer will think it's shut all of the time. The sensor is only active in normal mode of windows with the drivers installed (if it's in safe mode or VGA mode the sensor does not work until you raise the resolution. the sensor doesn't work at all if you boot from a knoppix cd.)
You may be able to just flick the pin and get it unstuck, but in some cases you have to remove it all togther.
To remove it, turn the lapotp off. lean the monitor back as far as it can go (don't force it). You then need to carefuly pry up the strip that the power button is on (ussually there is a space you can pry open on the left or right side of the strip depending on the model laptop; be very careful not to break anything). You can then pop it out with a small knife or tweesers and clip the strip back down.
If you don't feel comfortable doing this, then find someone who is.
I hope this helps someone.

One of the F keys on your wifes keyboard will switch between internal, external and cloned display (refer to the manual for the correct key/key combination.
failing that, turn the laptop on and immediately hold down F8, after a few moments loading you will be given a list of options, use the arrow keys to highlight VGA mode and press return. The laptop will start with the most basic of display settings and after a moment attempt to ascertain the correct display settings. Obviously because Windows is a poor quality product there are no guaranties that it will find the correct settings so message back if you still have problems.
Posted on Mar 13, 2008
The list of options including safe mode is the list I'm talking about! Your laptop was supplied with Windows XP, on the start-up list with safe mode at the top you should have Enable VGA mode as the fifth option down unless you have 'upgraded' to Microsoft's awful Windows Vista (and we thought XP was bad!), if that is the case you will see "Enable low-resolution video (640x480)" again fifth option down and that is, from a technical perspective, exactly the same thing.
If you are in Windows you need to hold down the Fn key and press F8 (according to the manual for this laptop), however holding down Fn and double tapping F8 should automatically reset to internal display. You need to have Windows running and have the keyboard driver installed (as it should be out of the box), you also need to press Fn and tap F8 on the inbuilt keyboard not an external keyboard.
If you still have problems after this message back confirming the operating system you are using and if it is as supplied or is an upgrade.
sounds like the refresh rate is set to high, it's not a setting most people access so you may not have seen it before.
Go to display properties "Settings" tab and click the "Advanced" and select the " Monitor" tab, make sure there is a tick in "Hide modes this monitor cannot display" if you still have multiple options in the "Screen refresh rate:" pull-down list select 60Hz to be on the safe side.
Go back to display properties "Settings" and set the "Screen resolution" to 1024x768 and "Colour quality" to "highest (32 bit)", this is the native resolution for the XGA version of the D600. If the display is still slightly blurry change the resolution to 1400x1050 as this is the native resolution for the SXGA version.
it's best to do this with the external display disconnected so as not to confuse Windows (the OS world's D student), if you are still having problems message back.
Nick. :)
OK, safe mode is a diagnostic mode that runs with most device drivers (small programs that control components of your computer) disabled, you will not be able to change display settings in safe mode as the driver that controls your graphics chip is not running.
Refer to the information on starting with "Enable VGA mode" in XP or "Enable low-resolution video (640x480)" in Vista, as I said they are the fifth item down on the list of options that has safe mode at the top and work from there.
If you have the external monitor disconnected Windows should (in theory) determine the correct settings for you, however Windows (any version) is a poor quality product so if it hasn't done so after about 5 minutes follow the information I provided earlier.

Sounds like a driver might have gone AWOL. Can you go into safe mode? Usually by pressing F8 after the Dell logo you will be prompted to go into safe mode.
Go insto safe mode and once inside restart the computer. This will repair anything that may have shutdown improperly.
If you can, also change the resolution to the least available, normally 800x600. Once you get back into the "normal" session, you can set it to your liking.
See if this works for you.

Making a rare and lengthy public appearance in front of 320 people at a City Club of Chicago luncheon Thursday, Maggie Daley spoke with passion about her work as chairperson of After School Matters, the nonprofit organization that offers Chicago teens out-of-school activities in a variety of fields.
"There are so many challenges faced by today's teens," she said. "They do not go looking for trouble, but trouble often finds them."
Chicago's first lady arrived at Maggiano's Banquets on Grand Avenue walking with the aid of crutches and receiving the first of what would be three standing ovations. The crutches are necessitated as the result of a March operation to place a titanium rod in her right leg to help support bones made weak by radiation treatment for a cancerous bone tumor in the leg. She was first diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer in 2002.

Can anyone tell me the average price for two person menu ?
Hi. I*t really depends on what you eat and drink as to how much the bill will be. If you contact me via our website I can send you the menu with prices. Cheers Sue from Joe's Downstairs
Hi, this all depends on how many courses you order plus the amount of drinks (cocktails, beers etc).
When we dined here last month, it cost us 2000bht for 2pax just ordering one drink each and a small selection of tapas.. Main meals here were expensive and not sure of the portion sizes.

Annuncio Ufficiale
CMON Limited is proud to announce its exciting new project A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game based on the beloved novels by George R.R. Martin in cooperation with Dark Sword Miniatures, Inc. Heading to Kickstarter in Q3 of 2017 and retail stores in 2018, this new miniatures wargame allows fans to enter the world of the novels and control units of troops and heroes with easy to pick-up rules and fast-paced, brutal gameplay.
Since the A Song of Ice and Fire series was first published in 1996, fans from around the world have fallen in love with the amazing lands of Westeros and Essos and the iconic characters that inhabit them. CMON's new tabletop miniatures game brings the conflicts set in those lands and the beloved characters to life with gorgeous, pre-assembled miniatures that make picking up and playing the game a breeze right out of the box. Gameplay is strategic yet easy to learn, meaning players will get to the battles as quickly as possible.
Jim Ludwig, Founder and President of Dark Sword Miniatures, Inc., commented on the partnership leading to the creation of the game: "I have been a big fan of what CMON has done in the tabletop miniatures space since 2004. Their expertise in plastic miniature production and their extensive body of work with both board games and tabletop miniatures games, that not only look amazing but are actually fun to play, made it an easy choice on who to collaborate with on this project."
CMON's Founder and President, David Doust, explains, "CMON's relationship with Dark Sword dates back over a decade, and we have contemplated a more serious collaboration for a very long time. This project allows us to dig deep into George R.R. Martin's mind and recreate the iconic battles from his award-winning novels on the tabletop."
The A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game lets players take control of their favorite Houses from the novels, represented by trays of high-quality, pre-assembled miniatures, and lead them into battle against their opponents. Players can recreate their favorite moments from the series or create their own stories. What if the Red Wedding never happened, and Robb Stark assaulted King's Landing? Now fans can find out!
Battles can range from large-scale wars with hundreds of miniatures, to simple skirmishes between a few units without complicating the elegantly designed rules. The game features several unique systems, including alternating activations that keep the players engaged; a Rank System that changes a unit's capabilities as the battle rages on; a Tactics System that provides strategic powers fueled by a finite resource each round; and, most importantly, the iconic Heroes, such as Robb Stark and Jaime Lannister, that can change the course of war both on and off the battlefield.
CMON will have even more information before the launch of the A Song of Ice and Fire: Tabletop Miniatures Game: Stark vs Lannister Starter Set on Kickstarter later in 2017, with a healthy lineup of regular retail releases and support to follow.

A large barn that housed more than 30 horses burned to the ground after storms rolled through Lexington early Sunday.
According to Herald-Leader news partner WKYT, the fire happened in a large barn at the Mercury Equine Center off Russell Cave Road after 1 a.m.
An owner told WKYT that there were 36 horses in the barn, and 13 have been rescued. Check back for updates on this story, and follow WKYT's coverage here.
The Mercury Equine Center covers 60 acres, and has three large barns with 160 stalls. "The grounds of the Mercury Equine Center are located on the property that once was the original Spendthrift farm training facility," says the center's web site. "It has been transformed to be a complete equine training center."

BN - WED - Age 70 Report
This query will identify employees who are currently age 70 or will be turning age 70 in the upcoming 30 days, who are enrolled in State Group Life and/or Income Continuation Insurance so that Benefit Administrators can counsel the employees in advance to help them understand how their benefits and premiums will change and make the necessary changes in HRS.
- Employees who remain actively employed are eligible for the State Group Life Age 70 benefit plan (SGLB70). A number of tasks must be completed in HRS to accurately reflect both the changes in coverage level as well as ensure the appropriate rates are charged.
- An age 70 Annual Benefit Bases Rate (SGL7) must be set up for the employee equal to 50% of their pre-aged 70 Basic SGL benefit. This will ensure that the employee will no longer have premium deductions for this plan from their payroll check. The effective date of the ABBR change needs to be the deduction begin date.
- An ADM Event will need to be created effective First of the Month in which the employee turns age 70 to manually enroll the employee into the State Group Life Basic 70 (SGLB70) Benefit Plan, waive the Supplemental (SGLSUP) and Spouse/Dependent Coverages (SGLSD1 / SGLSD2) that the employee is no longer eligible for at this time. The Enrollment Code/Reason used for this ADM Event should be: Change Benefit Plan - Premium Waiver
- NOTE: Additional coverage will continue unless the employee completes an enrollment form to voluntarily cancel the coverage or terminates employment.
- A second ADM Event will need to be created to waive the Income Continuation Insurance (ICI) benefits which the employee is also no longer eligible for at age 70. The Income Continuation Insurance coverage terminates on the date the employee turns age 70. The effective date for cancelling the insurance premium is the first of the month following age 70 and premium deductions are discontinued. The Enrollment Code/Reason used for this ADM Event should be: Cancel Coverage - Age 70.
- Benefit Administrators must counsel employees of the changes in SGL and ICI based on age and their options (if applicable) for canceling Additional coverage.
- The Benefit Administrator will then mark the employee as complete on the WED.
PROCEDURE STEPS:1. Log into HRS and click on the UW_BN_AGE_70 query hyperlink in the Workflow Exception Dashboard (WED).
2. Click the 'check to Claim' checkbox next to the person you wish to work with and your name will appear in the Claimed By section with the date and time noted.
3. Open a new Window by clicking the hyperlink in the upper right hand corner of the Home Page.
4. In the new window, navigate to Workforce Administration, Personal Information, Modify a Person, enter the Employee's Empl_ID, and click Enter.
5. Obtain the Date of Birth from this screen.
- Changes in State Group Life will occur first of the month in which an employee reaches age 70.
- Income Continuation Insurance will end the First of the month following the month in which the employee reaches age 70.
6. Navigate to Benefits > Review Employee Benefits > Current Benefit Summary for a list of all Benefit Plans the employee is currently enrolled in.
- Note in this example, the employee is enrolled in State Group Life, Supplemental, and Income Continuation Insurance.
7. State Group Life Insurance rates are based on a formula that uses an Annual Base Benefit Rate (ABBR). To review the employee's current State Group Life ABBR, navigate to Benefits > Employee/Dependent Information > Review ABBR's and enter the Empl_ID for the employee.
- When an employee reaches age 70, a new 'SGL7' Annual Base Benefit Rate type must be entered to ensure the employee will be charged the correct rates for State Group Life Basic coverage. The amount should be set to 50% of the current 'SGL' ABBR amount.
8. To add an SGL7 ABBR, navigate to the Update Annual Benefit Base Rate page: Benefits > Employee/Dependent Information > Update ABBR's
- Enter an ABBR type of SGL7, then tab to the Effective Date field.
- Enter a date equal to the first of the month, prior to the month the employee reached age 70, then tab to the ABBR Rate field. (This is the deduction date, which is taken one month early.)
- Enter a dollar amount (with no comma) equal to 50% of their current State Group Life amount and Save. (Please note: employees must have an ABBR set up on each active Empl_Rcd.)
9. Now that the employee has an SGL ABBR set up, you will need to add an ADM Event (or multiple if the employee is in ICI) to make changes to their enrollments.
- For information on how to add an ADM Event to the BAS Activity Table, please refer to: BN - Adding Events to the BAS Activity Table .
10. Once you have added your ADM Event(s), return to the WED by closing this window or clicking on the Home key located in the upper right hand side of your screen.
11. Click the Link to Correct hyperlink (BAS_ON_DEM_EM) next to the employee you wish to make changes for.
- A new window will automatically open for you with the employee's On Demand Event Maintenance screen.
12. Process the ADM Event following KB: BN - Enrolling, Changing, or Canceling Coverage Using On Demand Event Maintenance .
- Current elections will usually default into any ADM Event; however, it is critical to ensure that ALL elections that are reflected in this Event are correct for the Effective Date you are using. If enrollments are done out of sequence (i.e. back-dated), the ADM Event may not always pick up the correct data.
- Enter an Enrollment Code of "Cancel Coverage," a Reason of "Age 70," and enter the first of the month in which the employee turns age 70 as the App Received by date unless the employee has provided you with an enrollment form to make changes to their SGL Additional coverage.
- Change SGL Basic Option Code to the SGL Age 70 Option Code. Enter "WAV" as the Option Code to cancel the SGL Supplemental and SGL Spouse/Dependent plan
13. Repeat this process with the ADM Event effective first of the month following age 70 if the employee was enrolled in ICI. 14. Navigate to the employee's Base Benefit Pages to confirm that all changes have been made: Benefits > Enroll in Benefits > Life and AD/D Benefits > Enter the employee's Empl_ID and Enter. Examples of the State Group Life Basic enrollment and the ICI enrollments are shown below.
15. Navigate back to the WED page by clicking on the "Home" link at the top right of your screen:
16. Mark the error "Completed" on the WED page:
- Once the error has been fixed, the employee will fall off the WED report the next business day.
Benefit Administrators should send an Age 70 Notice to the employee regarding the changes. Here is a sample letter for use:
Subject: Sample Age 70 Notice to Employee
Our records indicate that you are enrolled in the State Group Life Insurance (SGLI) and/or the Income Continuation Insurance (ICI) and are now or will soon be turning age 70. There are changes to the SGLI and ICI plans' coverage when an employee reaches age 70.
State Group Life Insurance
The State Group Life Insurance plan has the following adjustments effective the first of the month turning Age 70 :
• Basic Unit (1x annual salary) - The Basic coverage premium is discontinued and the coverage continues at an amount reduced by 50%.
• Supplemental Unit (1x annual salary) -Any Supplemental coverage will terminate.
• Spouse and Dependent coverage ($5,000/$10,000 or $10,000/$20,000) - Any spouse and dependent coverage will terminate on the date the employee turns 70.
• Additional Unit(s) (1x, 2x, or 3x annual salary) - Any Additional coverage will automatically continue until you voluntarily cancel the coverage, stop paying premiums, or terminate employment – whichever occurs first.
Income Continuation Insurance
The Income Continuation Insurance coverage terminates on the date the employee turns age 70. The effective date for cancelling the insurance premium is the first of the month following age 70 and premium deductions are discontinued.

Turner and the Sea
JMW Turner liked to go fishing on the Thames and is reputed to have lashed himself to the mast of a ship in order to paint a storm at sea. More than half his artistic output was of maritime subjects but this is the first comprehensive exhibition to explore the artist's lifelong lifelong fascination with the sea. Featuring work borrowed from galleries around the world and including some of Turner's most famous works, it encompasses oils, watercolours, prints and sketches.
The show charts a remarkable career that encompassed both the artist's transformative Royal Academy paintings of the late 1790s and early 1800s and the unfinished, experimental seascapes he produced towards the end of his life. Among the highlights are 'The Fighting Temeraire' (1839), 'Snow Storm – Steam-Boat off a Harbour's Mouth' (1842), Staffa and Turner's only royal commission, 'The Battle of Trafalgar' (1824).
Works by Turner's contemporaries and peers, such as Willem van de Velde, Thomas Gainsborough, Nicholas Pocock, John Constable and Richard Parkes Bonington, provide a wider context in a show certain to go down a storm.

I was not amused by the quantity of fecal matter based paintings. There was also a severe smell of cat urine from the air ducts. I went to the toilet 6 times and each time the hand dryer had not been fixed as there was a cat legs hanging out of the air intake fan.
I loved this- some fabulous Turner paintings but most exquisitely some watercolour sketches which show his amazing draughtmanship. Made me turn back to my own sketchbook- which is what only the best exhibitions do.
Brilliant; well put together and a really interesting narrative. Loved the comparison with contemporary artists and how they motivated the evolution of Turner's work. The last part of the show was particularly exceptional. Well worth a visit, as is the astrophotography show at the nearby Royal Observatory.

Specter is seriously one of my favorite street artists, he is extremely innovative and his creativity sees no boundaries. Again I am stunned! This one is ....how to say it... AWESOME!
This is what Specter has to say about it, " This project was completed in two very
hectic months. If you are interest to see the work you can go to my
website www.specterart.com in the project section I have also
attached a few photos of the project for you extra busy people.
Thanks for all your support

LMAO. This one killed me. An anonymous tipster sent me photos of the latest thing Bob Ney is giving out for his campaign. You won't (or, likely given the current Republican culture in Ohio WILL) believe it:
Golf tees? Bob! WTF are you thinkin'? I'm sure nobody is going to point this out to you:
Ney's Golf Trip Fact vs. Fiction
Yeah, I'm sure that will never happen. LOL. Unreal.
Born without a sense of irony … or for that matter, any sense at all.
Acutely aware that his money and support come from the elite Ohio country club set, Ney is simply re-ass-erting that he's one of them, not one of the hoi polloi. And in the Kenneth Blackwell era of a GOP-dominated state legislature, he seems ominously secure in his belief that he will win again. Can anyone in Ohio say: "Black box voting machines controlled by GOP-allied defense contractors guarantee the popular "vote" will support lies, white collar criminals and corruption, no matter the people's expressed will". You want justice, campaign like citizens possessed to remove these machines and replace them with a paper-based, auditable and transparent state and federal elections process the dirty scum cannot manipulate. Then the popular effort to change the balance of power in the Ohio state open sewer, er, legislature will be manifest, and the Ohio citizenry can rejoin the ranks of those Americans who are represented by legitimately elected officials.
Whaddaya think?

In my (majority) blue-collar neck of the woods (Trumbull and Mahoning counties), we don't consider golf to be "elitist," just "enjoyable." The same guys who go deer hunting in the fall leave the factory early to get in an extra 9 holes in the summer. I worked at McDonald's 60 hours a week for minimum wage and spent a great deal of my rare leisure time on the free course nearby… You really shouldn't stereotype, and it doesn't do any tangible good to go negative.
Future K,
The only point I'm making – and you are probably responding to Andrew – is that you don't give away golf tees if you are in the middle of a golfing scandal.
WOW this is really amazing. How idiotic can someone be to go out and give golf tees for their congressional campaign when they are under investigation for a golf trip. Oh Abramoff must be signing on him now just because of the idotic move he made.
Great find.
Mr. Ney,
Thank you so much. I couldn't have voted you out any faster myself. Quit ignoring the Border War in Texas, or go there to golf and show us it's fine. Might wanna take Mr. Kaloogian with you to take pictures!

Where is the effort in Cleveland to respond to Howard Dean's request for biggest canvass ever on April 29th? I try to plug in and get "nothing in your area" That's totally unbelievable to me.

this message is to Alice Gould Butts:
Start a canvassing group! If you see nothing, then put yourself out there as an organizer. Maybe when other people see that someone has started a canvass group, they will join you. I understand how it is; It's like a luncheon at work. No one wants to go first. But the fact that you are looking shows that you have the initiative to get something going. No one ever said the road to change will be an easy one, but with all of us giving a little, we WILL accomplish anything we put our minds to.
Have a nice day,

We have demonstrated a new technique for detecting ultracold atoms. A balanced detection technique was used to reduce laser-induced detection noise in conjunction with modulation-transfer spectroscopy to distinguish cold atoms from a thermal cloud. Using this technique, we have achieved signal-to-noise ratios in excess of 2000:1.

Who I am: Hi, I'm Stephen. I have been traveling around the world for years. I am a travel blogger and freelance writer. My travel blogs and writing have been featured on websites such as Trip Advisor, Huffington Post, Forbes, Rolff Potts Vagabonding, and the Epoch Times.
What I do: Traveling is hard work. Each year I take dozens of trains, planes, and buses, navigate new cities and explore foreign cultures. Managing a lot of papers, tickets, visas, and timetables is sometimes tough.
Which is fine except for one minor problem.
I am extremely disorganized.
Why I do it: Through years of trial and errors, I have learned many of the in's and out's of traveling. ( Mostly though my many mistakes)
One day I had a thought. I realized that people could benefit from all my knowledge, advice, and tips about traveling. Thus, the disorganized traveler was born.
I wouldn't say I am a travel expert; that is silly.
I still make mistakes It is an important part of traveling.
This is full of tips, tech, hacks, and reviews that will help make your travels easier.
