Message from Japan National Tourism Organization (JNTO)
According to statistics released by JNTO in July 2012, for the first time since the Great East Japan Earthquake in March of last year, the number of international visitors to Japan has risen to pre-earthquake levels. For June the number of visitors was actually the highest ever recorded. Being able to make such a turnaround in only 14 months was only possible due to the warm support given to us by country and regional governments as well as various organizations, companies, media and individual travelers the world over. For this kind understanding and support I again offer thanks from the bottom of my heart.
At the World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) annual Global Summit, held this April, WTTC Chairman Michael Frenzel said, "There is no doubt in our minds that Japan is well and truly open for business." However, for us, it was only after seeing the June numbers that we could be sure that inbound tourism had in fact made a substantial revival and was indeed swiftly progressing towards growth. There is no greater happiness than this.
In May, the 634m Tokyo Skytree, the tallest free-standing broadcast tower in the world, opened near the Asakusa area of Tokyo and it is attracting long lines of visitors every day. And now, Japan has entered the key stage as summer starts, bringing traditional festivals and firework displays. Historic sights are abundant in Tokyo, Kyoto and Nara while Tohoku and the rest of the country are enthusiastically offering various entertainments for travelers. Also, there are the many mountain and plateau resorts of Mt. Fuji, the Japan Alps and Hokkaido and the world class marine resorts of Okinawa which are continuing to grow. Every day on the JNTO website and facebook page we are uploading information about these various sightseeing locations and Japan travel products.
We at JNTO are also feverishly working hand in hand with all of our partners in Japan in order to expand inbound tourism even more. Please do not let this picturesque Japan summer pass you by and we ask that you make your Japan travel plans soon! We would like to welcome all visitors from around the world with our customary hospitality.

Summer is coming to a close and the heat finally starts to fade. Let's venture to some lesser know spots in Japan to enjoy a bounty of food and the wonderful fall colors!
Utsunomiya City's Famous Food
How about trying Utsunomiya Gyoza on the way to Nikko, Kinugawa, and Nasu? Utsunomiya is the capital of Tochigi Prefecture. It takes only 50 minutes to get to Utsunomiya from Tokyo by Bullet Train, and it is located in the direct path of some famous tourist spots: Nikko, Kinugawa, and Nasu. Utsunomiya is well-known for Chinese food, specifically Gyoza, and boasts the one of the largest Gyoza consumption ranks in Japan. The most common Gyoza shape is a round shell of wraps that is made from flour and water, and most commonly contains minced pork, finely chopped Chinese cabbage, leek, and garlic inside.
Natural Beauty in Central Japan - Shiga Prefecture
Shiga Prefecture located roughly in the center of the Japanese archipelago and a little ways from Kyoto, is a hidden gem often overlooked by tourists. Only a 20 minute bullet train ride from Kyoto, Shiga is home to Lake Biwa-Japan's largest freshwater lake with an area of approximately 670km² and a perimeter of about 235km (146 miles). Lake Biwa, referred to as the "Biwako" by the Japanese, is divided into four sections: the Northern Lake, Eastern Lake, Southern Lake and Western Lake, each with a different landscape that can be enjoyed by train, car or bicycle. Many outdoor sports enthusiasts enjoy water sports on the Biwako such as yachting, wind surfing, wakeboarding, canoeing, and windsurfing among others.
Mountains & Seas of Culture - Mie Prefecture
Mie Prefecture sits on the edge of central Japan facing the Pacific Ocean, its coastline spanning about 1000km (621 miles) from North to South, resulting in different geographic features and climates throughout the prefecture.
The Northern area offers an abundance of natural greenery as well as hot springs resorts and is also home to the Suzuka Circuit where the F1 Japan Grand Prix is held.

The scene of the Dai-Chochin Tsuriage when the huge brightly-colored paper lanterns are hoisted up very slowly is just breathtaking.

I AM glad God saw Death
And gave Death a job taking care of all who are tired
of living:
When all the wheels in a clock are worn and slow and
the connections loose
And the clock goes on ticking and telling the wrong time
from hour to hour
And people around the house joke about what a bum
clock it is,
How glad the clock is when the big Junk Man drives
his wagon
Up to the house and puts his arms around the clock and
"You don't belong here,
You gotta come
Along with me,"
How glad the clock is then, when it feels the arms of the
Junk Man close around it and carry it away.

Anyone can get away with wearing glitter on New Year's Eve. This year, put a twinkle in your eye with one (or all) of these sparkly stunners.
Eyeliner: Urban Decay Cosmetics Glitter Eyeliner
This liquid eyeliner goes on so precise, acing a thin line right along your lashes, even if you're not an eyeliner wiz. Feeling brave and bold? Extend it into a cat eye for a festive take on a winged liner look.
To buy: $20, ulta.com.
Eyeshadow: Touch In Sol Metallist Liquid Foil and Glitter Eye Shadow Duo
Choose between a foil or glitter finish with this dual-ended eyeshadow stick, available in five shades. The liquid formulas glide on smoothly and dry quickly without creasing. Wear them as eyeliner or all over the lid for a more dramatic take. You can even double up and wear them at the same time (foil all over and shimmer at the lashline).
To buy: $25, sephora.com.
Mascara: Kiko Cosmetics Glitter Top Coat Mascara
This quick addition requires no extra skills and only takes a few extra seconds to apply. Simply swipe the silver-flecked mascara over your regular mascara for a tinsel-like effect that offers a subtle twinkle ever time you bat your lashes.
To buy: $12, kikocosmetics.com.
Loose Glitter: NYX Cosmetics Face and Body Glitter
An easy way to look awake long after the ball drops: Cover your eyes in glitter to hide any signs that you're losing steam. This loose glitter can be densely packed on to cover your whole lid or lightly tapped on for a subtle dusting of shimmer. We like the idea of creating an ombré effect all the way around your eye by fading it from the lash line upward. Pro tip: Keep the glitter where you want it by picking up any stray flecks with a piece of tape.
To buy: $6, ulta.com.
Crystals: Ardency Inn Punker Crystal Studs
When basic glitter just isn't cutting it, reach for these crystal studs. This pack of 25 reusable crystals comes with platinum, black, and gold color combinations, with sizes ranging from small to large. The set also includes eyelash glue for easy application. Dot varying sizes on the outer corners of your eyes or create a line of them just above your brows. With a variety of shades and sizes, you can customize your own look just the way you want it.
To buy: $39, sephora.com.

If humans did not discover a way to communicate through words, I can't imagine a world where people grunt, point and stump to get a message across. Google defines LANGUAGE as the method of human communication, spoken or written, that's made of words arranged in a structured or conventional way. I speak 3 languages: English, Filipino and my own dialect, Bicol. (There's still a debate on the difference between languages and dialects so OK, I will count Bicol as a language[1]). I'm quite aware that I have not perfected those three yet so I use them with care and try to mind my grammar as much as possible.
Oopps, don't ever think for a second that I will bore you with all that stuff because the introduction is not at all the point of this post. Yes, it still has something to do with language but if you're not Pinoy or if you don't speak the Filipino language, please read NO further. But if you are and you understand Filipino or Tagalog, then read on my friend.
It's funny how sometimes we become creative with language and invent a version for our own amusement. For instance, Filipino homosexuals have what they call "swardspeak[2]" (also known as "Bekimon" or "gay lingo") and when they talk among themselves, you might wonder whether you've gone insane or you've landed on the wrong planet. I received a BBM broadcast from @Varrylicious a few weeks ago and just thought that I'd share the content with you guys. It was quite a laugh and the list might surprise you on how language has definitely evolved in ways that you can't imagine.
Words/Terms That Needs To Be Added To Your Personal Dictionary
- THE EGG - kapag mas magaling s'ya sayo, "the egg" ka n'ya. Papa "the egg" ka ba?
- DUE CARE - if you're a fan of Batman movies, s'ya yung kalaban ni Batman, si "due care." Oo, s'ya talaga. You have to believe.
- IN SEX - these are small invertebrate animals, especially those with several pairs of legs. Halimbawa ng mga "in sex" ay ants, bees, bother fly, bugs...

We will bind up wounds, remove things that should never have been swallowed, interpret diagnostics to determine what system is in trouble, keep their breath fresh and their smiles bright.
Other services we provide are:
Dr. Bailey has enjoyed veterinary medicine since childhood; as his dad's helper and assistant from 1965 until his own graduation from Oklahoma State's School of Veterinary Medicine in 1984. He has experienced medicine before the benefits of high tech procedures and as the county vet in the Appalachia mountains with large animals and farm calls. Modern technology brings a new excitement to medicine. Dr. Bailey is skilled in laser therapy, laser surgery, and stem cell therapy, which benefit his patients in a multitude of ways. He keeps abreast of the latest advancements with research and study, continuing education conferences, and discussions with other doctors. His favorites are his son and daughter-in-law, both 2013 graduates of OSU's Vet School.
And if by chance your pet needs further expertise, we are very fortunate in Tulsa (& Oklahoma) to have an array of specialists in our veterinary community. We will put you in contact with orthopedic surgeons, dentists, ophthalmologists, dermatologists, internists and emergency medicine to best meet your pet's needs.
We look forward to a long, healthy, and happy life with you and your pets!

For 2bn, Facebook can buy pretty much anything - and it will make sense
In my personal environment there are split opinions about Facebook buying Oculus Rift. Most hardcore gamers hate it because they think Oculus will now not become a hardcore gaming device, although Zuckerberg announced that it would - for now at least - be focused on gaming.
Others just don't believe in virtual reality as a "next big thing" and mock the deal by saying Second Life would finally come back as an undead Zombie of Social Networks. Then again, there are others who compare the deal with Google buying Android back in 2005 or think that "a Facebook wall that you can actually physically experience" had to be something exciting. Imagine your phone being able to produce Oculus-compatible Video, and you could invite your friends to experience the beach that you are actually visiting right now. Pretty cool?
I have no idea, to be honest. I don't know enough about Oculus and ever since that"every company will be re-built around people"-vision from a few years ago somehow stopped, especially after the IPO, I am pretty insecure about the strategy of Facebook, the social network. Ok, they won't let any competitor come up and eat their lunch, so they are buying Instagram and What's App and anyone else who will have a large and especially very active and engaged user base in anything that involves user-to-user-communication. But that seems like survival, not necessarily strategy, and I am pretty sure there is a masterplan for both Facebook, the social network, as well as for Facebook, the Internet giant who will own a diverse variety of platforms, services and digital products. I just can't see it right now and I am not ashamed to admit it.
For one thing, even if the social network as such will suffer under the pressure of creating earnings and people may eventually move to other platforms (that may be owned by Facebook by then), I am very convinced that Facebook, the Internet giant, regardless of the social network, is here to stay. And they are not throwing away two billion dollars on some vaguely probable bet. They may be betting on products, remember Facebook Home (merely a year ago) and the Skype integration and other stuff that seemingly never really took off. But it came up during lunch today that Facebook's story so far must have been a story of an incredible ability to say "Sorry, not interested".
Imagine, once you reach a quarter of a billion users, how many super-interesting opportunities and offers there must have been: Some manufacturer must have come to them and said: Hey, let's build a phone. Let's build a TV Set Top Box. Let's make an MVNO. Let's make a connected car operating system. Let's start broadcasting video content. Let's do this, let's do that. And all of these opportunities might have been a few hundred million dollars strong or even more. Imagine what you can do with 250 million users at hand. But someone at Facebook must have said: "Sorry, not interested" to all these people. They focused on growing their social network far beyond a billion users now. And still, they could do this, that and anything else. Their limited resource shouldn't be money, but (management) attention, and this should be the only currency with which you can measure the acquisition of Oculus: Could they have done something better instead? Because with over a billion users, anything is possible. Any acquisition of a company can make sense. So this time they didn't say "sorry, not interested" and the reason might be that there is a huge opportunity in leveraging the Oculus technology with the huge user base that they have.
Let me explain this from my personal history: 8, 9 years ago, when I worked for Deutsche Telekom in the pre-iPhone era, I quickly learned that we would not be able to produce world class web technology (at all or at least not quickly enough) to get any competitive edge over competitors in any field – not telco, not web, not music, games or media distribution, not web storage, not voice or data communication (these were the hot topics back then). And if we could, the probability of competitors copying it or building something better was pretty high. So we quickly understood that the only thing that would give us a competitive edge was to focus on the one thing others did not have: a huge amount of relationships. 30 million+ households, 13 million+ DSL subscribers, 10 million+ T-Online users, 10 million+ T-Mobile users etc. - in Germany alone. If we could have created products and offerings where a network effect – the number of people who participate create value for all other participants – would have come into play, this would have been something that may have locked out competition and would have been a real advantage. Emphasis on would. Look at ebay – the more people sell, the more people will be drawn to offers, and the more people are drawn to the offers, the more likely it is that you may want to sell your stuff on ebay. Look at credit cards: The more shops accept them, the more people are likely to use them, and the more people use them, the more likely it is to find shops who accept them etc. That's why there are 4 major credit card companies on a global level, not 2000. If you start thinking about this, with Deutsche Telekom's relationships at hand, the more you realize that the opportunities are endless. One reason that I left the company so quickly was that I didn't seem to be able to convince the right people and create the right buy-in to make any of those concepts a reality. This had to do with my personal shortcomings, being in my early 30s back then, and with structures of a huge giant with 200k+ employees, or as we sometimes say (pun only works if you speak German): "I work for Deutsche Telekom, a big German concern".
So when Facebook decides to buy Oculus, I cannot imagine that this could turn out to be a huge mistake. It may be a bold move, but compared to the What's App acquisition (for some 16-19bn?), I cannot see how this could severely damage Facebook. Even if you do not integrate Oculus at all, it might be a valuable business of its own. But once you think of network dynamics and more than a billion users, and what user-to-user-communication may be like when a fraction of these people owns such a virtual reality device, the opportunities seem endless.

[Taipei – Taiwan] Professional motherboard manufacturer, Elitegroup, worked together with Intel® to research and develop the new product, ECS H110S-2P. Its Mini-STX form factor extends high performance and flexibility to something as small as a hand. The New LIVA Pro mini PC is based on the H110S-2P providing our users best performance and trim choice.
Mini-STX (147mm × 140mm) was defined by Intel® and ECS as the next generation form factor. It's smaller than mini-ITX (147mm × 140mm) and reduce the layout space of the PCB by 29%. However, ECS H110S-2P and LIVA Pro still keep various design features and components on such a narrow and small space. You can choose any standard LGA115x CPU cooler to make the platform as cool as possible. It supports 6th LGA1151 Processors without special regulations products, as well. Just choose a suitable chassis to be a builder of a One-Liter computer with our mini-STX motherboard design.
ECS H110S-2P and LIVA Pro holds the philosophy of "Less is more" to make things easier. Both new products support Intel® LGA1151 TDP 65W CPU, flexibly and match with Intel® H110 chipset. Most important of all, the I/O is composed of SATA 6Gbps , USB 3.0 Type-C , GbE LAN , 802.11AC / BT 4.0 , Intel Dual-channel technology and RS232 Port. Dual display outputs are offered, in order to level up efficiency and productivity.
Health Winston, Director, Intel Desktop chipset &Customer marketing even said that "The Mini Socket Technology Extended (Mini-STX) platform brings the performance and the configuration flexibility of traditional tower desktops to mini PCs. The LIVA Pro from ECS is a great example of cooperation between Intel and ECS to drive innovative solutions on Desktop."
ECS H110S-2P and LIVA Pro are better than ATX/M-ATX PC with lower power consumption and light volume case. Also, ECS H110S-2P and LIVA Pro are better than Intel NUC SoC PC with various I/O, flexible CPU choice and strong performance. So, perfect satisfaction is guaranteed for your business/education/IPC solution needs when using the ECS H110S-2P and LIVA Pro.
ECS, Elitegroup Computer Systems, was established in 1987. In recent years, ECS's main focus has expanded from motherboards to All-in-One PCs, notebook computers, Mini PC and other mobile products. ECS is strongly committed to developing cutting-edge technology in order to create innovative products under environmentally friendly designs. ECS's comprehensive quality control system ensures all of ECS products can be counted on for stability and reliability. Visit http://www.ecs.com.tw to learn more.www.ecs.com.tw

If ever there was a clear underdog in any season finale of "The Amazing Race" it was the Beekman Boys in Season 21. They'd never won a leg of the race, and more significantly, the other three teams they were racing against were in an alliance with one another. The Beekman boys were on their own, and they would have to come together in a way they'd never done before.
The first hour saw them sneak past the twins Nadiya and Natalie, earning a spot in the Final Three. Then, they got home field advantage as the final destination was their home city of New York. But in the end, it came down to remembering how each country they'd visited said "hello" and "goodbye." While the other teams went with a random approach, the Beekmans turned it from a language exercise into a mathematical one.
That strategy worked, as they were the first ones done. And then, they miraculously didn't get lost on their way to the final map, as they'd done so many times on the race, and actually secured a shocking first place finish. The other competitors were stunned to see Josh and Brent cross that line ahead of Jaymes and James and Trey and Lexie.
The Beekman Boys dedicated their wins to all the underdogs out there, hoping they could motivate people to believe. As Josh put it, "If they just keep going and just keep working as hard as they can ... at some point you will win."

We're counting down the days until the world can set its eyes on the Coen Brothers' "Inside Llewyn Davis." (It's six if your city's lucky enough to score next weekend's limited release, 20 if not.)
In the meantime, tide yourself over with this newly released clip in which Llewyn (Oscar Isaac) lands a paying gig performing just the sort of standard tunes he's trying to avoid. Isaac joins Justin Timberlake and Adam Driver in the clip, which finds the trio playing the boorish "Please Mr. Kennedy." The scene has already generated some buzz as one of the film's most humorous moments, so you can either relish the sneak peak or save yourself for the full movie, which recently nabbed two major Independent Spirit Award nominations.

Join one of Napier's most friendly, active, and welcoming societies, and come "learn" about Scotland's finest "Uisge Beatha", the water of life. You don't need to know anything about whisky – or even have tried it. We welcome everyone, and hope that after a semester, a year, or many years with us, you'll have made friends, had fun, and maybe even learned something.
We meet every other week, with tastings ranging from themed nights to nights where we just shrug and grab whatever looks good at the local whisky shop. Either way, they're great fun, and an affordable way to taste more whiskies than you ever could alone.
We also have numerous trips across the year, ranging from day trips to local distilleries and the surrounding country, to weekend trips to the Highlands and our now sacred yearly pilgrimage to Islay. These trips are so popular that we've even had people fly back to Scotland just to join us on them, so they're most definitely as unforgettable as they are unmissable.
So join us for not just an education in whisky, but the Napier Whisky Society experience!

``Cleavage meant more in the `50s,`` was one observer`s response last fall when Playboy`s revamped bunnies and brand new rabbits were rolled out. The new costumes were also called ``cute.``
Hugh Hefner`s Playboy Clubs withstood scandal and controversy for more than a quarter-century. But in all that time they were never, ever called cute. Racy, leering, outrageous, sexist, criminal, pornographic, lascivious, hedonistic, yes, Mr. Hefner likely would plead guilty to all but one of the above.

News Releases
San Antonio (Monday, October 9, 2017) – Cirque du Soleil is thrilled to venture into uncharted territory with its brand-new creation, Crystal by Cirque du Soleil, exploring the artistic attributes of ice for the very first time. Specifically created for arenas, the state-of-the-art production will create a fresh innovative experience, pushing the boundaries once again by combining outstanding skating and sliding, remarkable aesthetics and acrobatic feats that defy the imagination. Crystal by Cirque du Soleil will be at the AT&T Center in San Antonio for five shows only from Oct. 13-15, 2017.
Crystal, the show's main character, sets out on an exhilarating quest to fulfill her destiny as she dives into a world of her own imagination. She soars through this surreal world at high speed to become what she was always destined to be: confident, freed, empowered.
Crystal is about looking at things from fresh angles, peeking through the veneer of everyday life, reframing one's daily reality to see what one might have missed. Sometimes the only way to appreciate things is to look at them sideways. Discovering one's individuality and uniqueness requires venturing out on thin ice.
Show Schedule: October 13 – 15, 2017:
Crystalis Cirque du Soleil's 42nd original production since 1984. The company has brought wonder and delight to more than 180 million spectators in more than 450 cities on six continents. Cirque du Soleil has over 4,000 employees, including 1,300 performing artists from 50 different countries.
Forsythe Technology is the Official Sponsor of Crystal.

P0257 code definition
The P0257 code indicates injection pump fuel metering control "B" range/performance (cam/rotor/injector).
What the P0257 code means
The P0257 code means that the powertrain control module has found a discrepancy in the signal voltage that goes from the electronic fuel control actuator and the return signal from the fuel metering control sensor. This code only applies to vehicles that are running on diesel. If it does show up in another vehicle, it means that there is a problem with the powertrain control module.
What causes the P0257 code?
Here are some of the most common causes for the P0257 code.
- Dirty fuel filter
- Clogged fuel filter
- Open or shorted circuits
- Open or shorted electrical connectors
- Defective fuel pump
- Faulty fuel control actuator driver in the powertrain control module
What are the symptoms of the P0257 code?
In many cases, the symptoms associated with the P0257 code are very minor. They result in a stored code, and the Check Engine Light will likely come on in the vehicle. Other times, the vehicle might not start at all, or it will be difficult to start if you are fortunate enough to get it going. You might also notice that there is more smoke coming from the exhaust system than is normal. The engine might also suffer from misfires, and it might have some hesitation or chugging when trying to accelerate.
How does a mechanic diagnose the P0257 code?
Mechanics will make use of a tool called an OBD-II scanner. This scanner connects to the computer that is on the vehicle. The car's onboard computer can store these codes and other data about the vehicle. The scanner provides that valuable information to the mechanic. It will make it much easier to determine the actual problem with the vehicle. The mechanic will also want to reset the code to see if it comes back when they test drive the vehicle.
Common mistakes when diagnosing the P0257 code
As with similar codes, the common mistakes made during the diagnosis is believing that the injectors or the injector pump is the problem. Most of the time, the cause will be the fuel filter.
How serious is the P0257 code?
You never want to be driving around with your Check Engine Light on and codes stored in your vehicle. Even if you do not notice any issues with your vehicle's performance with a P0257 code, that doesn't mean there isn't a problem. Many people do suffer from performance issues. The vehicle starts hard or it doesn't start at all. The vehicle might run rougher than usual as well. Anything that alters the performance of your vehicle can be dangerous, and it is better to take care of it sooner rather than later.
What repairs can fix the P0257 code?
The following are some of the repairs mechanics might make to your vehicle to fix the P0257 code.
- Check the vehicle with the OBD-II device.
- Reset the code and test the vehicle. Check to see if the P0257 code comes back.
- Check the electrical connections for corrosion and other issues. Repair or replace any parts as needed.
- Replace the fuel filter
- Replace the fuel pump
- Replace the fuel control actuator driver in the powertrain control module.
Additional comments for consideration regarding the P0257 code
When vehicles get older, it is true that the warning lights and codes could be activated by mistake. This is especially true when a vehicle has more than 100,000 miles on it. However, that doesn't mean you should ever ignore these types of issues. You will want to make sure that you take the vehicle to a mechanic who can diagnose the P0257 issue and repair it properly. This ensures better performance for your vehicle, not to mention peace of mind for you.

The Grounds, Alexandria – smiling staff
Restauranteurs often want staff in photos but the staff aren't being paid to be photographed. They are being paid to be rushed off their feet, the meat between the chef and the customers, and don't always want to smile at a photographer who is blinding them with a flash.
So if you want staff to be in photos, make sure they are into smiling, no matter how busy they are.
This photo works well because the waitress is smiling, the food is visible, the ambient lighting is warm and inviting and there are happy diners in the background.

What Did Obama Tell Geithner about S&P?
The former Treasury secretary's famous call came five minutes after a meeting in the Oval Office.
Last month we wrote about the threatening phone call from then-Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner to the head of the parent company of Standard & Poor's after S&P downgraded the U.S. credit rating in 2011. Now we learn that Mr. Geithner placed the call to McGraw Hill Chairman and CEO Harold McGraw III just five minutes after leaving an Oval Office meeting with President Barack Obama.
This detail, drawing on information contained in Mr. Geithner's public schedule, was included late yesterday in a filing by...

McLeish does a Clough and walks out on Nottingham Forest after just 41 days
11:16 GMT, 5 February 2013
11:34 GMT, 5 February 2013
Alex McLeish has left Nottingham Forest by mutual consent, the League Managers Association says.
The Scot was in charge of the Championship side for just 41 days and seven games, winning only one and losing four.
Gone: Alex McLeish has left Nottingham Forest manager
It is thought the reason behind McLeish's decision to leave Forest is interference from the club's Kuwaiti owners, the Al-Hasawi family, in team affairs.
McLeish, who replaced Sean O'Driscoll as manager on December 27, said via a statement on the club's official website, nottinghamforest.co.uk: 'I am extremely saddened to be leaving after such a short period.
'But even so, it has been a privilege to be manager of such a fantastic football club and I want to thank the players, staff and fans for their support and wish Nottingham Forest the best of fortunes ahead.
'Both parties entered into the relationship in good faith. However, there was a difference in the understanding of the development strategy of the football club and it was felt by both parties that we should part company.'
Forest chairman Fawaz Al Hasawi had denied claims that there was a bust-up with manager Alex McLeish following the club's lack of transfer activity on deadline day.
Reports circulated that McLeish, who did manage to secure the services of Kuwaiti goalkeeper Khaled Al-Rashidi, was unhappy after George Boyd's proposed move collapsed at the 11th hour over what Peterborough described as an 'inconclusive eye test'.
Chairman Fawaz Al-Hasawi said: 'I'm bitterly disappointed – as is Alex – that it has not worked out as we had hoped when he became our manager and I would like to put on record my thanks for his services to the Club and wish him every success in the future.'
McLeish's turbulent reign at the City Ground rekindled memories of Brian Clough's disastrous 44-day spell at Leeds United.
Clough was famously sacked by the Yorkshire club after falling out with the players and board but went on to lead Nottingham Forest to league and European Cup glory.

Softball and baseball's favorite newspaper since 1987
Twins Reflections
By Gordy Jones
The regular season is here, and I've been shivering at Target Field. That made me think of the perfect weather I experienced during Spring Training. Every day it was 87, sunny, with a light breeze and low humidity. That triggered a whole series of memories from March – some good and some a little sad. Many things weren't the same this year.
John Gordon wasn't there. I loved watching him work as he interviewed players, gathering information to use during his broadcasts. I could tell he loved his work; that's why I was shocked that he didn't visit this year. Maybe he did and I missed it, or maybe he loved his job so much, visiting would be too tough on him.
My annual road trip to Sarasota was different, too. Sarasota is 90 miles north of Fort Myers, and is the spring home of the Baltimore Orioles. It's a charming town with some of the most beautiful beaches in the country, and the nicest people south of Minnesota.
It was also the home of Marty Springstead, Major League umpire through three decades, and supervisor of umpires through three more. We would always have dinner and drinks together while I was in Sarasota, but Marty passed away this year shortly before spring training.
About 60 umpires made the trip to Sarasota to attend Marty's funeral. I couldn't, but I was there two weeks after the fact. I visited some of Marty's haunts while I was in town, but they didn't seem the same.
He was always in the middle and ringleader of a cast of characters. Among them would be Minnesotan and wrestling announcer Mean Gene Okerland, also a retired CIA agent, a 7-foot former NBA player, a former NHL player, a Catholic Monsignor, Marty's son who is a jumbo jet pilot and his colleagues, and many regular townsfolk – and of course me, when I was lucky enough to be along with them.
When Marty was out-and-about, people loved to listen to his wonderful stories. He was a living baseball history book. He could tell behind-the-scenes – nice, but funny – stories about Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Frank Howard, Met Stadium, and anyone or anything involved with baseball during the last 50 years.
He was brilliant; he kept up on all sports and current events, and could easily cry after telling a touching or sad story. Marty was well known and revered in restaurants and bars all over the country. He would quite often slip into a kitchen and tip the kitchen staff for working so hard, because good food enhanced his wonderful times with his friends. He always took extra-good care of waitresses and bartenders, too.
He was loved nearly everywhere he went … except for Baltimore. That was because of an old feud he had with former Orioles manager Earl Weaver – but the restaurant folks in the area still loved him. Many of Marty's old "hangouts" have erected plaques or hung photos to honor him. He loved Manny's, and that was his favorite spot in the Twin Cities, his favorite MLB metro area.
His favorite ballplayer of all time, and for that matter favorite human being, was Harmon Killebrew. He would often say: "Harmon is the nicest, classiest guy in the world." Marty had met presidents, kings and queens, so that was saying a lot. Yep, I really miss Marty.
Speaking of Harmon Killebrew, I miss him, too. I loved watching him smile at spring training as he shared his knowledge of hitting with young players – players whose parents may not have even been born when Harmon was a slugger. But the Killer's legacy would spread among the young guys, and they would listen with respect, and sometimes in awe, as Harmon would kindly and gently explain the best way to smash a homer.
On the bright side, Tom Kelly, Paul Molitor and Rod Carew were there mentoring rookie and veteran players alike. They are very visible and accessible to players, and sometimes, while on their breaks, accessible to the fans, as well.
TK is quite colorful, dry and to the point. He will scold any player, rookie or veteran, if he is not prepared, or if it will teach him something. He is humorous, blunt and usually hits the nail on the head.
I was lucky enough to sit and watch part of a game with Rod once again. I had that honor last year, too. It is incredible listening to the observations of Rod, Paul and TK, too. They see things fans, writers and announcers don't even notice.
As I sat with Rod, he told me about the clinics he'll be doing for the Twins this year. I was honored when he told me he enjoys my book, "Baseball Guy," and invited me to do a signing at one of his clinics. He even volunteered to sign some books for the kids. Even though it was 87 degrees out, I had chills running down my spine!
Another positive from this spring was Minnesota Day, which seems to grow larger every year. Fans begin assembling on the remote parking lot near the minor league facilities at 8 a.m., and begin tailgating. Many fans post signs of their Minnesota home town.
Most grill and drink everything: beer, mimosas, Bloody Marys, Killebrew Root Beer … and everyone has fun. Mauer Chevrolet now sponsors the event, and the entire Mauer family (excluding Joe) hands out free T-shirts and bottled water. Tony Oliva and other people from the Twins "family" usually stop out and visit with the fans, too.
Overall, it was a pretty great spring. Now, if we can add about 20 degrees to our temperature and win consistently, we can have some fun in the regular season, and create more pleasant memories.

Many people around the world will be celebrating the birth of the Royal baby, but for 77-year-old Terry Hutt the birth of the first child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be another great royal occasion at which he is present.
Mr Hutt has attended many royal events during his life, the Cambridge News website says that: "Terry had his first brush with royalty at the age of 4, when he met the Queen Mother travelling around London during the Blitz."
Terry's wife, Joy, said to the Cambridge News, "He is one of those people that goes up on the birthdays of Diana and the Queen Mum. I don't really think that he needs to do that now after all this time, but he feels he wants to."
Recently, Mr Hutt was present at the King Edward VII hospital where he held what the media described as a vigil for the Duchess of Cambridge who was suffering at the time (in the early stages of pregnancy) with Hyperemesis Gravidarum. He brought flowers and cards for the Duchess.
Mr Hutt's choice of dress is always consistent, as he describes, "[The Queen] knows me as the Union Jack man as I'm always dressed up in red, white and blue… They're my colours and she'll always talk to me; we've talked about her mum before."
Sky News's Royal Reporter, Paul Harrison, who has been outside the Lindo wing of St Mary's Hospital since the beginning of the month in prep for the Royal Baby's birth, photographed the Royalist as he attended today awaiting the Royal Baby's imminent birth. People on Twitter soon recognised the man as Mr Hutt.
The Duchess of Cambridge is due to give birth any day now and many sources have called into question the due date of 13th July that the Daily Mail originally published – believing that the Duchess will give birth later.

'Stay' Video: Take a Long Bath With Rihanna
A moody bath. Don't get the wrong idea.
Rihanna's second video from Unapologetic is here, and it's a pretty subdued affair. Perhaps privy to the knowledge that she couldn't possibly top that bonkers video Drake was also ready to drop, Rihanna opted to simply relax in the bath with her reflection, her tattoo collection, a little jewelry, and, apparently, a lot of heavy and/or nostalgic thoughts. She does show up to sing a few lines toward the end, though — and then sheds a tear. It rivals her appearance in Battleship. Update: That was an uncut version or a leak. Here's the actual clip, with Mikky Ekko, some non-bathtub shots, and more singing.

2004 Chevrolet Optra Base
The car is wow
Head gasket is still alive.
General Comments:
7 years and still using this car. Services are a bit expensive, but the car is reliable like hell.
Acceleration is wow, braking is wow, gear box is very smooth, and didn't even spend a penny on brakes.
Take my word, it's the best for Indian roads.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's having a tough time with agencies while looking for a job, I was made redundant from a bank last October and have followed all the rules of registering with good agencies and with individual companies as well.
Maybe I'm old fashioned, but it seems to me that agencies used to care about people and would actively try to get them a job. Now, it seems they care only about themselves and trying to get their fee.
Who, for example, decided that only your last job is applicable? I have a wealth of experience which will be lost to the finance industry if I take a change of career or leave the country to work abroad - which is fast becoming my only option. I loved working in the finance industry and would like to stay within it but feel like I have been pushed aside.
Maybe my age has something to do with it? I am 51. I feel like countless consultants are looking down their noses at me - as if I shouldn't even be thinking of looking for a job in finance at my age. I'm fed up of being told I don't know what I'm talking about by people who weren't even born when I started in this business.
I've applied for a lot of jobs - jobs for which I know that I'm suited and for which I have appropriate experience. However, I've heard little or nothing. "No thank you," would be nice. But it seems manners no longer apply in financial services recruitment.

Production of the Mustang started in Dearborn, Michigan on March 9, 1964 and the vehicle was presented to the general public on April 17, 1964 at the New york city World's Fair. It is Ford's 3rd oldest nameplate currently in production. Initial sales projections predicted less than 100,000 units for the very first year. This mark was gone beyond in 3 months from rollout. Another 318,000 would be sold throughout the design year (a record), and in its first eighteen months, more than one million Mustangs were developed. Looking for Mustangs for sale in Herman MN is easy now. Just use the internet to search for them near you.
Classic Mustangs For Sale
All of these were VIN-identified as 1965 models, however several changes were made at the conventional opening of the brand-new model year (beginning August 1964), including the addition of back-up lights on some designs, the introduction of generators to replace generators, and an upgrade of the V8 engine from 260 cu in to 289 cu in. In the case of a minimum of some six-cylinder Mustangs fitted with the 101 hp 170 cu in Falcon engine, the rush into production consisted of some unusual peculiarities, such as a horn ring bearing the 'Ford Falcon' logo design below a trim ring emblazoned with 'Ford Mustang.' These qualities made adequate difference to warrant designation of the 121,538 earlier ones as "1964 1/2" model-year Mustangs, a difference that has withstood with perfectionists. Buy Classic Mustangs in Herman MN and live the muscle car dream.
The 1973 OPEC oil embargo brought with it more strict pollution laws and the desire for fuel-efficiency. This was also the very first time in vehicle history that the Big 3 were needing to compete with imports. The new Mustang II was smaller than the first variation however, due to the added devices required to meet brand-new United States emission and security policies, was heavier than the very first model. Performance was minimized and in the very first year only 385,993 cars were offered. 2nd generation Mustangs were readily available between 1974 and 1978 and readily available in a coupe and hatchback variation. 1979 the Mustang was redesigned a 3rd time. This time it was based upon the bigger Fox platform and the interior was truly huge enough for 4 individuals. The trunk was larger therefore was the engine bay. The body styles offered included a coupe, hatchback and in 1983 a convertible. In 1979 the 3rd generation Mustang functioned as an Indianapolis 500 pace car and Ford constructed 10,478 celebratory reproductions. The third generation Mustangs were produced from 1979 to 1982. Now has never been a better time to buy the Ford Mustang Of Your Dreams in Herman MN with special collector financing available.
Fourth generation style was offered from 1994 to 2004. 1994 Brought about the very first significant redesign for the Mustang in 15 years. Patrick Schiavone integrated numerous styling from earlier Mustangs. The base design featured a 3.8 OHV V6 engine from 1994 to 1998, and was mated to a standard 5-speed manual transmission or optional 4-speed automatic.

Jeremiah Bellissimo passed for two touchdowns and Leonel Katuku ran for another as Sanderson used four Apex turnovers to hand the Cougars their first loss, 35-20 on Friday night.
The back-breaking turnover came late in the third quarter, when Sanderson's Quez Clark picked up a fumble on a hop and ran 68 yards for a 28-14 lead for the Spartans (1-2).
"Our defense has been causing turnovers all year," Sanderson coach Ben Kolstad said. "We forced six last week. We haven't been able to generate any offense, and tonight, I thought we did a good job of that. We ran the ball well, we threw the ball when we needed to, and our kids fought hard.
"We had a chip on our shoulders. We lost two games … and we felt we could be 3-0 right now."
"Turnovers haven't been a problem," Cougars coach Joe Kilby said of his team's 2-1 start. "We got off to a fast start on the first drive, but we seemed to go to sleep after that a little bit."
Katuka finished with 141 yards on 21 carries, while Bellissimo was 11-for-15 for 146 yards.
Apex rolled up 393 yards, with quarterback Grayson Boyd completing 13 of 29 passes for 219 yards and two scores and running for 54 yards and another TD. Totten had 85 yards on 15 carries, but the miscues were the difference for Apex.
The Cougars also had eight penalties for 70 yards.
"There were times we had big plays, and those look great and we had lots of yards, but we've got to execute consistently, down in and down out," Kilby said. "We didn't do that ."
Apex struck quickly, as Grayson Boyd rambled 69 yards on an option on the Cougars' third play.
After a missed Sanderson field goal, Apex was on the move again until Justin Cook fumbled on the Spartans' 25-yard line.
Bellissimo heated up to get the Spartans on the scoreboard, passing 18 yards to Jared Tintsman and 6 yards to Alim McNeill before hitting Geoma Ward on a 34-yard strike to tie the game at 7 with 9:21 left in the half.
The Cougars struck back with an impressive drive. Totten accounted for 35 yards on the ground and 30 on a third-down screen pass before Ian Boyd took a short pass from Grayson Boyd, broke two tackles and scored from 27 yards out.
Sanderson had a quick three-and-out, but a bad snap was fumbled by Grayson Boyd and recovered by the Spartans' James Morales on the Apex 45 with 2:27 left in the second.
Michael Markland ran 20 yards on a fourth-down play, and Bellissimo hit Trevon Gay in the end zone for a 28-yard TD pass that evened the score at 14 at halftime.

Colchester novelist Jim DeFilippi has electronically published "The Family Farm", his first novel to be set in Vermont, on his website, jimdefilippi.com, where it can be downloaded by readers for free.
Although DeFilippi has lived in Vermont since 1974, his previous crime novels have all been set around the New York City area, where he grew up. His books have been called "suspenseful, often hilarious," by Newsday and "excellently paced and imaginative told," by Publishers Weekly.
"I've always had an easier time reconstructing New York City speech and attitudes than those of my adopted state," DeFilippi said recently. "I've been working on 'The Family Farm' on and off for 30 years. I think I finally got it right."
The realistic novel concerns a Vermont farmer who brings violence and tragedy upon himself and his family through his inability to change or to give up even a small portion of his farm or his life.
DeFilippi's novels are also on sale at Amazon's Kindle store, for electronic book readers.
