More than ever, mobile devices including cellular phones, smartphones, netbooks, and tablets have become increasingly popular for web browsing. Until responsive design was introduced, sites, that were designed for PC displays using different browsers such as Firefox, Chrome, and Internet Explorer, were unreadable on mobile devices. Today, however, mobile web access is not only possible, but also easy and stress free for sites that use responsive web designs. These designs have adjustable layouts and scalable images that can adapt to any type of mobile device settings. With a receptive site layout, firms could broaden the grasp of their businesses and internet sites to targeted website traffic.
A fluid grid is one of the key ideas behind a responsive web design. This design allows layouts to fit or adapt to any screen size, from PCsto tiny mobile phones. By equally resizing in size, all the components in a provided layout will certainly be visible in any kind of sort of gadget. Liquid grids work hand in hand with CSS3 media queries in responsive web designs. The media inquiries are sustained by a vast option of internet browsers, and also they basically enable you to accumulate details or data from the website customer. CSS styles can then be conditionally used using the gathered data.
Without a responsive website design, a website owner will have to give prospective visitors with alternative URLs for accessing the web using different devices. This could be inconveniencing and time-consuming for many users who are looking for quick and simple accessibility to online details. With a responsive design, you will only create your site once, as the designing process consists of formatting the site to be compatible on different systems and running systems. All these are made with liquid grids, media questions, and also adaptable formats.
There are many advantages for having a responsive website design. You will certainly not have to provide your potential visitors with numerous Links for accessing the web on different tools. A number of URLs suggests a number of sites. Keeping all these sites can be tiresome as well as very expensive. Likewise, a responsive web design keeps you from investing extra money on creating multiple websites for supporting different tools. When you intend to make modifications to your present site, having a receptive web design will enable you making changes to only one design. A mobile website design, on one hand, will certainly require you to make particular adjustments to all the numerous internet sites you have. Creating a responsive website design also increases your opportunities for greater ROI, because your website will certainly become consistently user-friendly throughout different tools.
Nonetheless, a receptive site layout is not without its limitations or downsides. In specific cases, a responsive design will certainly require you to download and install unneeded markup. This will certainly extend your download time and also use up additional server area. Additionally, having styles that are particularly constructed for sure mobile phones have in some instances verified a better choice to having a responsive layout. With these facts in place you can select whether to embark on a responsive or mobile layout for your web site.

BBC Sport - Manchester United disrespected me - Paul Pogba
Archive: Man Utd disrespected me - Pogba
- From the section Football
Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba accuses former club Manchester United of "disrespect", claiming he was made to train alone during the contract dispute that preceded his move to Turin.
The 21-year-old French midfielder left United in July 2012 after failing to agree a contract extension.
Pogba, who made just seven substitute appearances for United, has scored 12 goals in 60 league appearances for the Serie A side.
Pogba was speaking to BBC World News Football Focus in May 2014.

Culture to tame vulgarity - Classical shows to fight sleaze at Sonepur Mela in winter
Read more below
- Published 9.08.14
|Image makeover
A culture vs brassy war is in the offing at Sonepur Mela this November.
It would be up to you to decide whether you want to enter the dimly lit theatres where women perform raunchy dance numbers or sit back and enjoy some classical Bhojpuri numbers by artistes of repute.
After the state government decided to change the image of Sonepur Mela,primarily famous for its cattle fair, the art, culture and youth affairs department, in association with the tourism counterpart, are planning to break the dominance of popular theatres that have been an inseparable part of the Mela by introducing cultural events, which the department feels, will stand against the alleged vulgar theatres.
The cattle fair apart, the Sonepur Mela is also associated with theatres in which scantily-clad girls, brought from several parts of the country, showcase dance numbers, after dark. They try to excite the audience with their explicit moves.
The district administration of Saran and the tourism department, which organises the fair, have tried to clamp down on the theatres by monitoring their activities with the help of closed-circuit television cameras and surprise raids.
"The department is in talks with the tourism department regarding this. We do have a couple of months before the Sonepur Mela starts on November 6. We would surely monitor activities at the theatres this time," said Vinay Bihari, the art, culture and youth affairs minister.
However, he added, the larger plan involves organising cultural programmes that would draw people from the theatres.
Both the departments are preparing a proper itinerary. There would be impressive cultural programmes on contemporary Bhojpuri music by popular artists during the month-long fair.
"There are people who still want to be a part of good cultural shows," Vinay Bihari said.
The Sonepur Mela is organised on the banks of the river Gandak on the occasion of Kartik Purnima.

How would you assess Vietnam's real estate market in recent times?
The market has been growing strongly and sustainably. In the first seven months of this year the market continued to be vibrant, with a large number of successful transactions in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City and confidence among buyers being gradually restored.
Hanoi's market in July saw 1,800 successful transactions, an increase of 3 per cent compared with June. In the first seven months there were a total of 11,050 successful transactions in the capital. Meanwhile, in Ho Chi Minh City there were 1,750 successful transactions in July, increasing 3 per cent against June, and 10,500 successful transactions in the first seven months.
With such a large number of transactions is there a risk of a real estate bubble reappearing?
A real estate bubble is unlikely to occur, with only certain projects in prime locations and with high quality seeing price increases of 1 to 2 per cent. Overall, although transaction numbers have increased sharply, prices have remained stable.
Many new projects will open in the future and create a large amount of supply. With increasingly professional investors and brokerages, housing prices will not spike, so a real estate bubble is unlikely. However, we must also prevent some businesses and individual brokers or speculators increasing prices and creating instability in the market.
Will real estate be an attractive investment channel in the future?
For the past seven months, GDP growth, the financial and monetary situation, imports and exports, and FDI have all seen positive signs. The target of 6.5 per cent economic growth this year will almost certainly be achieved. The economy's recovery has seen a contribution from the real estate sector, which in turn has benefited from economic growth.
Much investment capital has flowed into the real estate market. Outstanding credit in real estate has reached over VND360 trillion ($15.8 billion). From July 1, with the Law on Housing permitting foreigners to buy houses in Vietnam, a large number of foreign investment capital has come to the real estate sector.
Foreign direct investment (FDI) in real estate is increasing sharply. According to the Foreign Investment Agency under the Ministry of Planning and Investment it ranks second among 17 areas attracting foreign investment in Vietnam. In July the real estate market welcomed over $1.225 billion from foreign investors.
Investment capital flows into property proves that it is a good investment channel at this time.
Many people are concerned about too much investment capital flowing into real estate. What are your thoughts on this?
I disagree. Growth in the property market will lead to many other sectors developing. Tax revenue from real estate businesses and real estate transfers will certainly increase. We recommend management agencies as well as businesses continue to promote real estate development. If not, the market will get into difficulties, as it did in the last few years, and have a negative impact on the economy.
Although the real estate market is on the increase, investors should not expect too much. Real estate brokers must operate honestly and keep prices stable in order to bring benefits to customers based on professional ethics. The property sector must have mutual supervision in the future, aimed at a professional and sustainable operating environment.


text: Hello all and thank you for reading this, and for any advise that you might give me. So I have a cable modem hard wired to a WRT54GS, and i want to expand my network by adding another router. Currently I have an extra dgl-4300 that i could use for this, but correct me if i'm wrong i can't do "bridging" (or wds or whatever it's called) between a linksys router and a dlink router. So I'm planning to get a WRT54G2 if it'll do the trick. To the WRT54GS I can't change the firmware it has to stay with the original i think it's at Firmware Version: v1.52.5, but the the WRT54G2 I can install any 3rd party firmware (preferably tomato since i have used it before but if other is needed I'll use that one), in case i could use the dgl-4300 I'm assuming it's original firmware is flexible enough? I wouldn't want to mess with that one's firmware. Anyhow the WRT54GS is wep encrypted and if it was possible i would like to keep the mac filtering option disabled. So is it possible? And if yes what do i need to change? I tried following this guide: http://www.linksysinfo.org/forums/showthread.php?t=47118 But he used Alchemy-pre5.2.2 v2.09.1.8sv on the "source" router I can't I also found this http://marc-abramowitz.com/archives/2007/01/15/wds-on-the-wrt54g/ but he was also using a 3rd pary firmware on the source router (meaning the one that has internet) and i believe he was also using mac filtering Is mac filtering necessary for WDS"bridging" also found this http://rgbdream.com/?p=44 that says that the linksys firmware has wds capability but i don't see it anywhere So many questions.. thanks for the help in advance

Chennai slip into the play-offs after Royal mess
For most part of the season, Royal Challengers Bangalore had neither been consistent with the bat or ball. For most of their victories, they owed it to the power-hitting of Chris Gayle. HT reports. Scorecardindia Updated: May 21, 2012 02:03 IST
For most part of the season, Royal Challengers Bangalore had neither been consistent with the bat or ball. For most of their victories, they owed it to the power-hitting of Chris Gayle. And when the Jamaican, who has been starting cautiously before exploding, paid the price for trying to do too much too soon in their most crucial game, the RCB failed to salvage the situation.The Chargers have shown signs of life only towards the end of IPL V, only after their performances had been reduced to academic value. On Sunday, barely a day after the tumult caused by the assault chargers against Aussie Luke Pomersbach, RCB contained the Chargers batsmen to set themselves a manageable target.
Early tussle
However, it was quite clear the early tussle between Gayle and Chargers' rare bright spot, Dale Steyn, would determine whether RCB can get through to a victory without much trouble.
But Gayle's ill-advised, and pretty awkward, attempt to cut a Steyn delivery only resulted in a chop onto the stumps. And when Virat Kohli, who hasn't really come to the party this IPL season, pulled a flat but less than well-timed shot to be caught in the deep, it was clear RCB's hopes of clinching victory to go through was in trouble.
The result handed a huge lease of life to defending champions Chennai Super Kings, who qualified for the play-offs because of a better net run rate, leaving RCB to blame themselves for the way they threw it all away. The result now means Delhi Daredevils, Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians and CSK complete the play-offs line-up.
The Chargers, who defeated Rajasthan Royals as well, were led by JP Duminy's half-century to raise a modest total, but Bangalore knew it would all boil down to their batting.
Tillakaratne Dilshan was trapped leg before by Steyn and once the South Africa spearhead also got rid of the other, more destructive opener, the pressure was suddenly on RCB.Kohli's poor shot selection changed the equation and RCB's long tail only made the Chargers' job easy, infusing fresh life into CSK's campaign.

New Orleans, La.-- The trial for a pastor the FOX 8 Defenders has followed for allegedly stealing Road Home money from the elderly has been continued, again. Elijah Mealancon showed up at Orleans Criminal District Court Thursday morning for a bench trial, but his public defender called out sick.
Judge Ben Willard told another attorney with the Public Defender's Office, Mealancon's case has been "rolled too many times," and the judge said he was very disappointed in the public defender.
Mealancon is out on bond, but was arrested twice on theft charges. New Orleans homeowners the FOX 8 Defenders has interviewed said they paid Mealancon to re-build their homes, but he never finished the work. In February, FOX 8 found that Mealancon, who was acting as a residential contractor through his Elijah Christian Ministries, wasn't even licensed to do contractor work in Louisiana.
Mealancon's trial has been pushed back to December 7th.

Press releases
Research from Loughborough University results guides Living Wage Rate rise
Research from Loughborough University is behind the announcement today (Monday 3rd November) that the UK Living Wage rate has been set at £7.85 per hour, an increase of 20p on the 2013 rate.
The UK Living Wage rate (ie outside London) is calculated annually by the Centre for Research in Social Policy (CRSP) at Loughborough University.
To calculate the Living Wage CRSP research focuses on identifying the goods and services that households need in order to have a minimum acceptable standard of living, according to members of the general public. The Living Wage is then worked out by calculating how much people need to earn in order to pay for the goods and services and therefore reach a minimum standard.
The uprating of the Living Wage figure each year takes account of rises in living costs and any changes in what people define as a 'minimum'. It also takes some account of what is happening to wages generally.
The rise in the Living Wage will improve the take home pay of 35,000 workers across the country who are employed by over 1,000 businesses that are accredited Living Wage employers.
Donald Hirsch, Director of CRSP comments: At a time when living standards have been falling in real terms, the Living Wage represents a baseline below which workers are unable to reach a minimum acceptable standard of living. Our research bases this minimum not on arbitrary judgments by "experts" or political views about what someone "deserves", but on what members of the public agree that people need. Below this minimum, households are excluded from having and doing the everyday things that make you part of contemporary society."
The London Living Wage rate is also announced today. Mayor Boris Johnson will announce that the London rate will rise from £8.80 to £9.15. In the capital the rate is set by the Greater London Authority and takes into account the unique circumstances of living in London.
Rhys Moore, Director, Living Wage Foundation said: "As the UK recovery continues, it's time to reward the workforce, many of whom accepted pay freezes and reduced hours to keep business afloat and unemployment at bay during the recession.
"Earlier this year the Living Wage Commission reported that, for the first time, more than half the families living in poverty in the UK are also in work.
"Full time workers are being forced to claim in-work benefits to keep a roof over their head and feed the family. For many providing these basics for loved ones is proving a struggle as pay clings to the minimum wage but living costs rise.
"Those businesses who can should follow the example of responsible employers such as Nestle and Nationwide, as well as hundreds of smaller, independent businesses like CTS Cleaning and Hodgson Sayers Roofing, who pay the Living Wage.
"The Living Wage is an independent calculation that reflects the real cost of living, rewarding a hard day's work with a fair day's pay."
The Living Wage Foundation is an initiative of Citizens UK, national community organising charity, which brings together people from every part of society and enables them to work together for the common good.
CRSP's paper 'Uprating the Living Wage in 2014' is available here.

Sorry I have been quite quiet lately, I wasn't well and then i started a new job so its been a bit manic here at Smith Towers!!
I started this canvas some time ago, i started by putting texture paste through a few assorted stencils. Added some lace down the side and then added on various embellishments, Prima Elementals, cogs assorted beads from old bits of jewellery and one of the beautiful Prima Relics and Artifacts flaming hearts. These come in a pack of three hearts and are all ready to be painted and put onto your project or turned into jewellery.
I added some glue gun drippage and then covered the whole thing with black gesso. Once the black gesso had dried properly I then painted with some of the new Finnabar Art Alchemy Paints. These paints are little pots of joy! They really are they glimmer and shine and some are even two tone. So lovely to use too.
the little pot in the corner was made out of paper clay and painted in the same manner as everything else. The Harlequin diamonds in the top corner are from a Finnabair Stencil and Prima Texture paste.
As always do let me know what you think. I will try harder to post a few more projects now I am creating properly again lol.
Happy Crafting

Can a program like Recuva recover videos and pictures from an iPhone that has been restored to factory settings? Recuva will currently not read my phone because it needs to be restored due to the fact that Apple techs can not get it out of DFU mode no matter how hard they try.
The restore is my last resort and will work but I want to try to recover the videos and pics I haven't backed-up before doing a restore and if that is not a possibility I want to know if they could be found afterwards. I'm too scared to restore and lose them!
Technically possible but unlikely that a file recovery software is able to recover data from an iPhone [or even access it for that matter].
As far as I know the only way to access the actual file system is if the device is jailbroken and running an SSH server.
Otherwise all access to the "file system" is done via software and the iPhone USB driver. I'm not sure any tool will be able to recover data via this "soft-access".
I believe restoring is a one way ticket ~ not sure the internal flash will have any information left after a restore.
The only other place to find data are backups made via iTunes or if it was set up in the iCloud.
I did the restore and made sure I checked the photo stream button in I cloud settings this time....no forensic data recovery programs worked an I lost everything but I will never let it happen again....lesson learned! Backup backup backup!!! Thanks everyone
Which data recovery programs did you use? I am in the same boat and desperately trying to get my stuff off of my iphone. So sad! I am hoping one of the recovery programs will work.
Thanks so much!
It will be difficult but it's not impossible. Data is still there, even when you've formatted until it is overwritten. Deleting or formatting usually means marking the area as "write-able" rather than actually getting rid of whatever's there.
My main worry would be that by doing a restore on your iPhone the firmware might overwrite some of your data when it is transferred to the device. Did you install iOS 5? Did you sign up for iCloud? If you did then your pictures should at least be safe as they upload to the iCloud servers almost immediately after you take them.
To access them you'll either need to turn iCloud on in Mac OS X or download the Windows iCloud software from Apple's website. Videos (due to their size) are not included in this unfortunately, but you could always try running file recovery software anyway.
If you can't get your phone to do anything and it won't show up in Windows then you might as well restore. Losing videos is better than a useless phone, right? I'd suggest before downloading any apps or syncing iTunes that you run that recovery software though!
Good luck
well if its formatted then hard will be recovery of files.

OFL Calls on McGuinty to reinstate compensation for victims and survivors
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - June 26, 2012) - As a result of an employer-led legal campaign, victims of occupational disease and their survivors have been cut off of "loss of earnings" benefit payments by the Workplace Safety & Insurance Board (WSIB). OFL President Sid Ryan sent an urgent letter to Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty calling for immediate action to protect the wage replacement benefits for occupational disease victims and their families after retirement. This employer-led campaign even goes as far as attacking the benefits of surviving spouses of deceased occupational disease victims.
"The purpose of the Workplace Safety and Insurance Act is to provide compensation for workers who are exposed to toxins and chemicals in the workplace and develop life threatening occupational diseases, such as cancer. To cut financial support to victims and their families because the worker retired before they got sick or died is callous beyond imagination," said OFL President Sid Ryan. "In 1914, workers made a historic compromise to give up their right to sue employers for workplace injuries and disease, in exchange for compensation against loss of earnings as a result of employer negligence. The fact that employers and lawyers today are lobbying to cut off victims of support and add to their suffering is a disgusting betrayal of that agreement."
In 2009, the WSIB stopped paying loss of earnings benefits once a worker left the workforce - be it through retirement or death. The decision came as the result of a legal campaign, led by law firm Hicks Morley, for a narrower interpretation of the Act based on the argument that when a worker is no longer employed, there are no earnings to lose. However, the WSIB had previously paid loss of earnings benefits even when disease diagnosis or treatment took place after retirement, based on recognition of the latency period between the workplace exposures and the development of a disease. The OFL is calling on the Premier to amend relevant sections of the Act to uphold the right of workers who are diagnosed with an occupational disease post-retirement to receive benefits, as if they were currently employed. The Federation is also calling on the Premier to ensure that benefits continue to be paid to surviving spouses even when a worker dies from their occupational illness after retirement.
"The Premier has the opportunity to fix the Act now to ensure that victims of occupational disease and their survivors are not abandoned in their time of need. These victims and their families have already suffered immeasurable loss due to unsafe and unhealthy working conditions and they now will be re-victimized if government refuses to right this wrong," said OFL Secretary-Treasurer Nancy Hutchison. "Many surviving family members are widows who rely on their WSIB benefits for their quality of life. The husbands of these women lost their lives to build the economy of our country. We have a duty to honour and compensate for that sacrifice."

OpenCage Data is a UK limited company (Reg. no. 09485974). Our VAT registration number is GB251995573.
Our registered address is 74 Cowper Crescent, Hertford SG14 3EA, United Kingdom
Management Team
OpenCage is run by Ed Freyfogle - LinkedIn, OSM, twitter, github, personal site - and Marc Tobias - OSM, twitter, github.
Prior to OpenCage, Ed was co-founder of Lokku, the company that OpenCage spun out of (see below for our story). He started his career in the early days of the internet as the first developer at yahoo.de. He has an MBA from MIT, a degree in engineering from Duke University, and was a Fulbright Scholar in Weimar, Germany. Ed lives in Barcelona, where for fun he maps Sarrià/Tres Torres.
Marc Tobias is based in Münster, Germany. Before OpenCage he was the first employee at Lokku, before that he worked at Yahoo! in Silicon Valley and Munich. Prior to that he was one of the earliest members of the technical team at amazon.de. When not on the keyboard you can usually find him on a bike in the woods.
Our incredible journey
OpenCage started in 2013 as a project within Lokku, a London based company with a long history of using and supporting OpenStreetMap.
Lokku's primary product was the real estate search engine Nestoria. In building Nestoria we learned a lot about the challenges of geocoding data from around the world. We also implemented the first ever commercial use of OpenStreetMap (in 2006!), and were one of the first companies to use OpenStreetMap maps instead of Google maps.
In May 2015 Lokku was acquired by Mitula Group, we took the OpenCage project over and have run it independently ever since.
Of course our service wouldn't be possible without thousands of people and organisations worldwide who have contributed to the various open geodata projects we build upon. Thank you!
If you've read this far you may enjoy this interview Ed gave to API newsletter GET PUT POST, or this interview with Built in Perl.
Supporting geo-innovation
We organise and sponsor #geomob, the meetup of London location based service developers, where we do our best to highlight geo-innovation in all forms. If you're in London please come along to our next event.
We're proud to be corporate members of the OpenStreetMap Foundation, the Gesellschaft für Geoinformatik e.V., and the OpenStreetMap United Kingdom CIC.
We have a long standing tradition of supporting the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team through financial donations . We also financially support the libpostal open-source project .
Where does the name OpenCage Data come from?
Open data is amazing but sometimes it's also wrapped up in a metaphorical technical cage that you need to be a bit of an expert to unlock. We're doing our best to open up that metaphorical cage for you by making a very simple to use geocoder. If you have suggestions about how we can make it even simpler please let us know.
Stay informed
The best way to stay up to date on what we're up to is by following us on twitter or reading our blog. Besides announcing new developments to the geocoder we also use the blog to regularly publish interviews with OpenStreetMap communities around the world and various open geo data projects and services. Please get in touch if you're doing something interesting with open geo data.

Ty Sambrailo: LT, Colorado State, 6'5, 315
Overview: The son of a collegiate pole vaulter, and brother of an Oregon State women's volleyball player, Ty Sambrailo inherited the family athleticism. The agile big man helped captain Colorado State to 10 wins in 2014. Sambraillo plays with a relentless streak, and has excellent feet.
In the run game Sambrailo relies on his persistence and intelligence to continually put defenders on the ground. Whether blocking through the echo of the whistle or cutting a defenders legs out from under them, Sambrailo constantly harasses and annoys defenders. He is well coached and does a good job at executing his assignment. Colorado State used him as a puller both from the front side and backside of plays. He does a good job of leading up through the hole and getting a hat on the defender. He's not the most powerful player in the run game, but does a good job of turning a defenders lateral movement into vertical movement. Sambrailo does a good job getting to the second level and into the open field on screens.
Sambrailo shines in pass protection. He has an excellent kick slide, which he executes quickly without suffering lapses in form. He does a good job of absorbing contact and quickly resetting his base. He has a great feel for where his quarterback is and does a good job reflecting that in his pass set. He does a good job of keeping his shoulders square to the line, preventing pass rushers from having a "two-way go". He always knows who his man is and does a good job of patiently waiting for his assignment to come to him and not go chasing. He moves well laterally in play action and 3-step blocking.
Grade: Late 1st
If you only watch on game: Boston College (2014)

School Crossing Lights are used to indicate locations where school children are crossing either with, or without the aid of a School Crossing Patrol.
Normally these lights only operate for an hour before schools open and an hour after they close. If lights are not operating within these times, or are operating outside of these times, then these faults can be reported online. Our contractors will generally attend within 2 hours to investigate and report on the nature of the defect.

Here's my weekly wrap-up for March 5-March 11.
Training Mode: Still in the game! This was week 11 of half marathon training, although my schedule is modified from the original based on my injury-induced rest.
Days until the race: 6 (whoa!)
Feelings about the race: Admittedly, I was feeling better this time last week. The tightness in my hip/knee (suspected IT band issue) is back, and I plan on getting it checked out…but unfortunately not until after the race. I'm optimistic that I'll finish the race and have an awesome time. I'd feel a little better if I wasn't experiencing a little pain right now.
You can run and tell that: 20; long run: 10.
Busted more moves: Yoga, a lot of extra walking (turned my normal bus-Metro-walk commute to walk-Metro-walk for most of the week, adding in 3 extra miles of walking a day), a new at-home core routine (starting small: 2x of 25 crunches, 20 bicycles, and 30 second plank).
Busted body: Tight hip/knee…IT band?
Ear candy o' the week: Too easy to get this song stuck in my head this week. My first half marathon is the Rock n' Roll USA, hence:
Oh yeah. Alright.
The takeaway: With my last long run done before the half, it's time to taper, although it doesn't feel like I've earned it, considering how much time away from running I had. In the end, it was worth it to take a few weeks off and get back to feeling well, and I know it'll be worth it to take it easy this week.
Things to work on: keeping my legs feeling good, making an appointment with a specialist.

Our YEP Jury have their say on Leeds United's home clash with MK Dons.
Milton Keynes arrive tomorrow for a rare Saturday 3pm kick-off and our first untelevised game of the festive period. Of course, that could have come earlier if Massimo Cellino had continued to enforce his ban on the Sky cameras right through to kick-off on Tuesday night!
Given the not-too-subtle threats that the Football League issued during the day, it's good for the club that he eventually relented. Nevertheless, from a fan's perspective, there are issues that need resolving and with five of our six longest journeys this year scheduled for weeknights it's not easy being a Leeds fan on the road.
Those who were able to tune in on Tuesday night were treated to another good performance from United who stuck doggedly to the task of matching Derby. In the end it was defensive errors that cost us all three points and, although there is a strong argument to be made that we've taken two good points over Christmas, only a win over MK Dons will confirm that.
United looked more tired than Derby and that's what goes to the heart of the argument that competition is compromised when Derby are given the significant advantage of that extra day by Sky's scheduling.
Steve Evans says that MK Dons will have plenty of possession tomorrow and, if that's the case, the easily frustrated Elland Road crowd will have to summon up some patience and hope our attacking players can convert more chances than they have been doing up until now.
Evans must be given credit for the optimism that is spreading from six games unbeaten and the efforts of a team that looks more determined to win than at any point in the last five years. Unfortunately, optimism if often short lived at Elland Road and the MK Dons game is notable as the last before the transfer window that will likely decide the fate of United's season.
If we can keep hold of Sam Byram and Liam Bridcutt and strengthen the squad in the areas Steve Evans has identified then there is no reason why we can't make the push towards a play-off place. It has to be said that that kind of business feels out of reach at the moment.
Points away at Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich Town will be crucial if we are going to make a serious challenge but before that, we really need to be beating Milton Keynes at home.
Prediction: Leeds United 2 MK Dons 1.
Just as you thought things were going smoothly – improved performances on the field and a glimpse of the top 10 – then along comes Massimo Cellino to put a 'spanner in the works'.
The Leeds chairman has an eye for a headline and trying to stop the televising of the home game versus Derby County was just too good an opportunity to pass up. His objections are understandable but his timing is unbelievable – again!
It was improbable that he would carry out his threat to ban them – and Sky televised a fantastic game with Leeds continuing their impressive unbeaten run. The 2-2 draw was proof how far the team has improved under Steve Evans. Liam Bridcutt's fine form is one of the reasons for the improvement, but all the team seems to have upped their game.
Tomorrow brings MK Dons to the 'theatre of new hope'. Dons have not had the best of seasons and sit just outside the bottom three. The league is so close at the moment that even the lower-placed teams are sometimes surprising with wins at teams you'd expect them to lose to. Hopefully this trend is not continued for us.
Out of all the fixtures in this festive period this is the one I thought three points was guaranteed, so I'm hoping to finish off 2015 in some style.
Prediction: Leeds United 3 MK Dons 0.
Leeds start 2016 with an air of positivity after an unbeaten run of six games.
I would have taken two points from the games against Forest and Derby but came away from both games with a tinge of disappointment that we had not picked up two wins.
The visit of MK Dons has the feeling of one of those games that should be a routine three points. Carl Robinson's side have struggled since promotion and look like being involved in a relegation scrap for the remainder of the year. Despite the fatigue factor, I expect little in the way of changes although a rested Lewis Cook should be restored to the starting line up. The only question is who would replace the injured Chris Wood up top.
Prediction: Leeds United 2 MK Dons 1.
We've been playing really well and probably should be further up the table and closer to the play-offs.
The game against MK Dons is winnable and a match that we should be winning. I hope Antenucci gets a run out up front.
Prediction: Leeds United 2 MK Dons 0.
Following the excellent performance and point gained from the home clash with Derby, Leeds sit 12th in the table with 31 points. Twelve months ago, we ended 2014 languishing 20th with just 24 points.
By any measure, that's progress! We are also now unbeaten in six. For the recent run to mean anything though, we have to beat the likes of MK Dons. A comfortable win in this game and we can really start to believe we have turned that metaphorical corner. Neither MK Dons nor their previous incarnation Wimbledon has ever won at Elland Road in 14 attempts and a repeat of their most recent visit in April 2010 would do nicely. That ended 4-1 to Leeds.
Prediction: Leeds United 4 MK Dons 1.
The Whites would be foolish to underestimate MK Dons who gave them a searching examination earlier in the season.
I'm expecting Chris Wood to be rested with either Soulemayne Doukara or Mirco Antenucci starting up front.
Prediction: Leeds United 2 MK Dons 0.

Saying failure of democracy in Iraq "would embolden terrorists around the world," President Bush again defended his Iraq policy and called for reforms across the Middle East. The US and other Western nations share part of the blame for the region's instability, Bush said, for "excusing and accomodating" regimes that oppressed their citizens for decades. The speech at the National Endowment for Democracy in Washington came shortly before Bush was to sign an $87.5 billion funding bill for military and rebuilding efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Defense Secretary Rumsfeld, meanwhile, was outlining a troop-rotation plan for Iraq. Military officials indicated the force will drop from the current 130,000 to 105,000 by May. But the Pentagon is also notifying 43,000 reservists and 20,000 Marines to be ready for one-year deployments.
A major labor union reportedly was poised to endorse Howard Dean's bid for the 2004 Democratic presidential nomination. The Service Employees International Union represents 1.6 million janitors, healthcare workers, and others, and could prompt other groups to follow suit, analysts said. After days of controversy, the ex-governor of Vermont apologized for saying the party should court Southern whites who fly the Confederate flag on pickup trucks, saying the remark inflicted "a lot of pain."
Wisconsin Gov. James Doyle (D) came out firmly against a bill redefining marriage as a contract between one man and one woman, saying it's designed to "divide" and "anger people." Current state law says marriage is a contract between husband and wife, but supporters of the revision say it is needed to ensure that same-sex unions cannot be recognized there. The state Senate approved the bill by a 22-10 margin Wednesday. That, and the lower house's previous 68-29 vote, are large enough to override a gubernatorial veto.
A man armed with two handguns went on a shooting spree at a trucking company in suburban Cincinnati, killing one employee and wounding four others. Police were searching for the suspect, who reportedly fled in a white van after the morning rampage at Watkins Motor Lines.

I hope your Father's Day was as nice as ours. We had to skip the picnic because of the weather, but I know a picnic at home is just as much fun as in the park. However, it can be hard to convince kids of that. To them, summer means picnics in the park among the many other things summer brings. To me it means many different things. I especially like summer because you can wear the same clothing inside and outside. In fact, sometimes the air-conditioning is just too cold. That seems to save me a lot of time and makes things simpler. In the summer I like things to sail smoothly along. I don't like anyone, or anything to rock the boat.
To me summer time is the time to have fun. It may be hot but just think in three months summer will be gone. Before we know it the cold will be creeping upon us. The sun is so warm now, but all too soon it will be a thing of the past. It seems as the weather starts getting warmer, people all over the country start heading to the water; wherever they can find it. Our Reinbeck pool is where many of us go. However, our pool is lacking a place for babies and toddlers. I think there should be some consideration on a separate baby pool or the newest thing a water pad. Even grandmas like that just to get cooled off.
It is also the time of the year when the towns will be starting their celebrations. So many of them seem to be involved around food like corn, sauerkraut, watermelon, kolaches, or strawberries. What a better festival than to honor the luscious, juice strawberry. If they would have a contest for the most beautiful berry contest, I believe strawberries would win the crown almost every time. I don't think I ever heard of a radish festival but the radishes are at their peak now whether they're bought at the store, farmer's market or you grow your own. I have shared this recipe quite a bit and is one Marlys Keith shared with me a few years ago.
1 oz. pkg. cream cheese
1/4 cup soft margarine
1/2 tsp. celery salt
1/2 tsp. Worchestershire
dash of paprika
1 cup finely ch. radishes
1/4 cup ch. green onions-
use a few of the tops.
Clean radishes and pat dry with a paper towel and set aside before cutting them. Mix together cream cheese, margarine, celery salt, worchestershire sauce and paprika-cream this together until very creamy and smooth. Fold in the chopped radishies and onion. Chill.
Spread open faced on party rye bread, crackers or other small breads. Delicious and the red of the radishes and the green of the onion is a pretty spread and delicious.

Brussels sprouts can be a bit of a challenge to grow, but they will produce a great harvest for your efforts. The plants grown in thick stalks, and produce "sprouts" that look like miniature cabbages along the length of the stalk. They are in the same family as cabbage and broccoli, and the sprouts have that same strong flavor when cooked.
You wouldn't know it to look at them, but Brussels Sprouts are just packed with vitamin C. They are also good sources of vitamin K and A, folate and fiber.
Starting from Seed
You can seed right into the garden, but starting them indoors for transplanting is the usual routine. Plant your seeds in 3-inch pots about 6 or 7 weeks before your local date for first frost. Seeds should be about 1/4 inch below the surface, in loose potting soil.
Their roots are actually pretty shallow for the size of the plant, so you don't necessarily need to grow your seedlings in very deep containers
After the last frost date, you can think about planting your seedlings out. The weather will still be quite cool, so you should "harden" your plants before transplanting them. About 4 days before you intend to transplant them, set them in a sunny spot outside during the day. Bring them in for the night. This will acclimatize the plants and help them adjust to the change.
Space the seedlings around 10 inches apart on all sides, and add some extra compost or organic material to the soil while you are planting. Dig the holes for your seedlings a little deeper than necessary, so that the soil level is right up to the bottom leaves once they are in the garden. It will help them get strongly anchored as they grow.
If you prefer, you can seed Brussels sprouts right out in the garden very early in the season. As soon as the ground has thawed and warmed enough to dig, you can put out the seeds even if it means planting several weeks before the final frost date. Because the ground is quite cold, not all seeds will sprout. Make sure to plant more than you need and thin them out later if necessary.
Growing Instructions
Because Brussels sprouts have such shallow roots, you should never hoe or cultivate around the plants to get rid of weeds. A heavy layer of mulch can help keep the weeds under control instead. This also means they are more dependent on you for watering. Keep them well watered, but don't soak them.
While the plants are growing, avoid using any nitrogen-rich fertilizer on your Brussels sprouts particularly after the middle of the summer. It can brown the inside of the growing sprouts.
Brussels sprouts do not like hot weather, but unlike cool crops like lettuce, you have to let them grow all through the summer in order to get a full harvest from the plant. If your weather frequently is more than 75 to 80 F, the sprouts may start to open up and change their taste. For plants that got a good early start, you might still get a decent number of sprouts before that happens. You could also try a later planting, though your plants won't likely reach full maturity before winter hits.
About 4 months after planting, you can pinch out the top of the plant. This will help the upper sprouts to develop a bit faster so you can get as much out of your plant before the winter sets in.
If you've harvested the bottom sprouts, the upper one can make the plant oddly top-heavy. Stakes can help them stay upright if necessary.
You can grow Brussels sprouts in large containers (at least 5 gallons each), with one plant per pot. Container gardening has one benefit with Brussels sprouts, that you can move them out of the direct sun during the hottest part of the season which may extend your harvest time.
Like in the garden, only use non-nitrogen fertilizer to keep your sprouts developing properly.
Pests and Diseases
The typical slugs and snails are a frequent problem with Brussels sprouts. A light layer of diatomaceous earth on the soil around the plants will kill any slugs, but its harmless to people and animals. You can buy it at any garden center. Slugs can be picked off in the early morning by hand, if you are so inclined to do so.
Cabbage aphids can be a problem on the leaves, but you can wash them off with regular water when you find them. Just keep checking so they don't get out of hand. Ladybugs feed on aphids, and you can even buy live ladybugs to release in your garden to help control the pests.
Brussels sprouts can also develop club root, which is a fungus infection that swells up the roots. There is no real treatment for it, but adding lime to the soil can help prevent it if you discover it to be a problem in your garden. If your plants wilt and die for no apparent reason, dig them up and check for bulbous roots. Dispose of the plant immediately and hope it hasn't spread.
Harvest and Storage
You twist of the mature sprouts when they are firm. Most plants will start to have ripe sprouts 2 to 3 months after you put out your seeds, with the ones at the bottom maturing first.
A healthy plant should yield around a pound of sprouts by the time frost arrives. You don't need to rush and get the last of them off before your frost date though. They will be fine with a light freeze or two, and your sprouts will be noticeably sweeter for it.
Sprouts that have been picked off the plant will last in the refrigerator for about a week. You can store them longer if you leave them on the plant, and cut the entire stalk off. Hang the stalk somewhere dry, cool and dark. You will be able to pick the remaining sprouts from it for up to 3 more weeks.
They can be frozen and stored that way for several months, provided you blanch them in boiling water for 3 or 4 minutes before freezing.
I'm in the San Fernando Valley, and have been growing a pony pack of 6 sprouts plants in a raised bed, and they look good and are maybe 2 feet tall, with lot of sprouts along the stem. But the sprouts just bundles of small leaves, not tight little mini cabbages (petit choux). I'm wondering if there's anything I can do, or should have done when preparing the bed, which was largely unoccupied last summer and had peppers the year before. The winter has been quite mild (only a few nights down to 32 and many days in the 70s), with little rainfall since December, although I water them pretty thoroughly when they get to drooping, maybe every 10 days.
I am from Saskatchewan, Canada & have planted some brussel sprouts to transplant into my garden in May, but they are very spindly and the stalks break if you even move the plants… How do I make the plants stronger??
I have 3 plants. Two have 30″ stalks, one is only about 9″ tall. The taller stalks have no produce but are flowering. The shorter one has no flowers, but does look like it has produce squished in between very tight leaf stalks. Any advise?
Hi! I've been able to grow my brussels sprouts plants from seeds. They are about 8-10in. high now. Can anyone let me know at what point do the stems turn into actual "Stalks"?
Thank you!
Oct 31, 2015 My plants have Frozen Drooping Leaves for the 3rd time, I've been covering them after the 2nd time with no droop upon uncovering at sun rise but the weather people expected no frost or such chill so I didn't cover them last night, is this Frozen Drooping Leaves state not good? They perked up the first 2 times, I expect they will again but not sure yet, I live in Southern Maine, I will be covering them every night from now on if they survive this 3rd freezing thanks to the weather report being wrong, thinking on packing in hay but how do they get the sun they need doing so? I do have Brussels Sprouts forming…

Vote recounts and legal wrangling stretched into a fifth day in Florida, as the dispute that will determine who wins the presidential election deepened. A federal court hearing in Miami today is to address whether some ballots could be recounted by hand - an action requested by the Gore campaign and opposed by the Bush camp. Most of the controversy continued to center on Palm Beach County, but developments in other counties also appeared likely to affect vote totals. Unofficial tallies by the Associated Press showed George W. Bush had a 288-ballot lead over Al Gore.
Delayed counts in New Mexico gave Bush 17 more votes than Gore, prompting state police to begin impounding certain ballots in case they're needed for review later. Republicans had requested the action for early voting and absentee ballots.
An estimated 7,000 people, including President Clinton and former Sen. Bob Dole, took part on Veterans Day in a symbolic groundbreaking ceremony for a World War II memorial on Washington's National Mall. The memorial - which critics are trying to block in court on aesthetic grounds - hasn't been given a construction permit yet, so groundbreaking was limited to turning up soil in a trough. Other Veterans Day ceremonies took place across the US, among them the State House in Boston, Mass., where Zelda Moore participated. She is a member of the American Gold Star Mothers, an organization for women who have lost a child in the line of duty.
At discussions in Washington, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak was likely to be questioned about the killing Thursday of a Palestinian militia chief. Barak, who almost canceled his trip because of temporary concerns about an airline hijacking that ended in Israel, was to meet late yesterday afternoon with Clinton. Israeli officials had few expectations of a breakthrough in resolving six weeks of violence in the Middle East.
The Clinton administration was to issue controversial new standards today to try to protect workers from health problems attributed to repetitive motion. The standards, from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, aim to cut in half an estimated 600,000 stress injuries each year. OSHA projects the rule would cost businesses $4.5 billion annually - its costliest regulation yet, The Washington Post said - by forcing companies to alter work stations or change tools and equipment once employees are found to experience work-related injuries. Industry groups have promised to challenge the standards in court.
Temperatures hit record lows in Western locales Saturday: minus 19 degrees F. in Casper, Wyo., and minus 12 in Dillon, Mont. The cold front extended as far south as Iowa, Nebraska, and Colorado. The latter experienced dozens of traffic accidents and at least five deaths because of icy roads, officials said. Heavy precipitation also was a factor in some areas.
The production company for public television's "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" announced the final episode of the children's series will be taped next year. In 33 years as its host, Fred Rogers has produced almost 1,000 episodes. He plans to turn his attention to his Web sites, publications, and special programs for museums.

Bigtime Weekend with mates on squid
It doesn't get any better than this, over the weekend I was fortunate enough to spend a bit of time with a few mates on the waters of Western Port, fishing regardless is a blast but when you get to do it with ya mates its all the more enjoyable, there is something about a fishing brotherhood where its not about who has the biggest or best rod, or who has the flashest egi, its about getting out and having a laugh and enjoying the basics, casting and retrieving without a worry in the world and spreading the ink and by spread the ink we mean spread the ink. After a cool slow start to the morning where I arrived almost an hour later than I was meant to with nothing but a bit of ribbing from the boys I hung my head with guilt as they laughed at my messy state. As the sun came up a bit so did the squid I had an absolute ball with no pressure. The water was a mix of clean and dirty depending on where we were, there was hardly a breath of wind and the current was so slow that at one stage we had to turn on the motors a bit to help the drift, if any one is interested in getting a few mates together on a squid charter most of Melbournes normal snapper charter folks will be running squid charters, on this occasion I was fortunate enough to be in the company of Gawaine Blake from BigTime Fishing Charters. That said we have 3 Squid charters/tuition trips coming this weekend 30th and 31st July for those interested please contact Gawaine at BigTime Fishing Charters on 0411 103 367 to book your spot to avoid confusion with bookings. If contacting from overseas please contact me on +61417590547 or email@example.com, for folks booking through Japanese Travel Agencies please quote egikuma in your email or over the phone so details can be arranged around your travel itinerary. Here are a few photo's from the magnificent day on the water

Join David Hobby for an in-depth discussion in this video Lighting notebook: Window light photo shoot, part of Lighting with Flash: The Basics.
All right, let's take a second and go to our lighting diagrams and talk through this first shoot.…I know it's very simple, but there are a couple things that are really important to remember…from this, and the first is to always, always consider your ambient light as a light source.…It's the first light in your bag, and that means to think about it in terms of quantity and of quality.…In this little section we're really more concerned with the quality than quantity, because we're…not going add any flash to it.…So here we are. We've got a photographer and a subject in a room, and what I have done is…take the light source as it exists and drop it right behind me.…
There is that open shade window. It's going to be nice, gorgeous soft light, and I'm using…it sort of as an on-axis big soft box.…It really doesn't matter what's behind Ramona in this instance, because I'm going to take…a moveable backdrop--in this case white--and we're going to drop it right in behind her,…so that negates whatever backdrop exists in the room already and allows us to put that…

Giallo-style shocker rewards patience
Libretio | 12/05/2001
(3 out of 5 stars)
Aspect ratio: 1.85:1
Theatrical soundtrack: Mono
SCHIZO is a giallo-style shocker from British director Pete Walker (HOUSE OF WHIPCORD, FRIGHTMARE), which offers an appropriately convoluted plot allied to a series of brutal killings by person or persons unknown. The marriage of ice-skating star Samantha Gray (Lynne Frederick, from VAMPIRE CIRCUS) to Alan Falconer (former pop singer John Leyton) attracts the unwelcome attentions of a shadowy figure from Frederick's past, a convicted murderer (Jack Watson) recently paroled from prison. When his apparent stalking of Frederick prompts a series of vicious murders, old secrets begin tumbling into the light of day, culminating in all manner of bloodshed and mayhem...
Though SCHIZO is a little more conventional than Walker's previous outings ("It was less Gothique...I wanted less incident and outrage," he explained), it still manages to deliver the goods, even if it takes rather too long to work up a decent head of steam. Most of the shocks and scares are confined to the second half of the film, and while the steady accumulation of narrative details pays dividends in the end, individual scenes are somewhat labored, not helped by Frederick's lack of presence in the leading role. By contrast, Stephanie Beacham (DRACULA A.D. 1972, INSEMINOID) is effortlessly charming as a family friend who turns detective when Frederick identifies Watson as her stalker - had the roles been reversed, this could have been a small masterpiece of psychological horror. Other stand-outs include veteran character actor Watson (recognizable from brief appearances in countless British movies, here given a much weightier role than usual), and a bearded John Fraser (TUNES OF GLORY, THE TRIALS OF OSCAR WILDE) as a psychiatrist who pays the price for digging too deeply into the circumstances surrounding the death of Frederick's mother.
Walker was always aware of his limitations as a director, allowing clever scriptwork to dictate his method, but he was no hack, as SCHIZO ably demonstrates. Here, his point-and-shoot style is frequently punctuated by moments of genuine visual dexterity, such as the circling of a pen on a newspaper article which gives way via dissolve to a spinning ice-skater, or the truly unsettling seance towards the end of the film in which psychic Trisha Mortimer manifests physical signs of possession by one of the killer's former victims. The subsequent murders are blunt and bloody, with no pretence to subtlety. Peter Jessop's artful cinematography and Chris Burke's sensitive art direction makes a virtue of the film's slightly seedy locations, and while a good fifteen minutes could have been cut from the 109 minute running time, Alan Brett's keen editing skills manages to streamline an increasingly complicated scenario.
Sadly, this was Walker's last collaboration with writer David McGillivray, who had originally been assigned to overhaul an old unused script by Murray Smith (author of Walker's earlier films), but McGillivray felt that the killer's identity was too obvious from the outset. Maybe so, but viewers may still be taken off-guard by some of the climactic revelations. Bottom line: If you're a fan of Walker's output or British exploitation in general, you'll overlook the film's slow-burning tempo and enjoy its outlandish plot developments. Worth a look.
Atmospheric chiller from Pete Walker!
(4 out of 5 stars)
"If you have never seen one of Pete Walker's films, you are really missing out on something.Although not Pete Walker's best film, SCHIZO (1976) bears the winning trademarks of this unusual director/producer: highly atmospheric settings (especially the seedy and depressed aspect of England of the 70's), characters disturbed by confused memories of childhood trauma, and a slow-paced plot line that accelerates near the end of the film to a strange and twisted endpoint.The acting is SCHIZO is (for a horror chiller) very good. The screenplay (by David McGillivray) is quite excellent, as is the photography .Unfortunately, the print offered by IMAGE is produced from a well-worn original -the picture quality is marred by noticable fading in colour and "pitted" images, especially in the first several "reels".As is standard with the EUROSHOCK COLLECTION, there are no extras. However, given the visceral substance of the film itself, the DVD is highly recommended to anyone seriously interested in the horror genre."
Slasher/Giallo Offering from Great Britan
Michael T | NYC | 03/03/2009
(4 out of 5 stars)
"Some movies get too much recognition while others don't get enough. "Schizo", falls into the latter category.
Released in 1976...sandwiched between "Black Christmas" [74]& Halloween [78]Regrettably, this film is constantly overlooked as a forerunner to the American Slasher. Not to mention, having Italian Giallo trademarks
as well.
Regarding it's slasher/gialli pedigree,it's all here. Red herrings, childhood trauma, sexual transgressions and of course the violent death scenes! The killings are all pretty brutal..one scene in particular is an inspired "Jason/Friday the 13th" piece of work...5 years ahead of the game, mind you.
Performances from all the leads whilst not outstanding are competent.
On the downside,"Schizo", has some moments where the pace could pick a bit but not to the point of total boredom.
"Schizo", is more than a "body count" film with senseless and endless annoying teenagers waiting to get offed. Hopefully, this film will one day receive the reappraisal it yearns for and deserves.

Carl Manes | 08/11/2010
(3 out of 5 stars)
"A beautiful young ice-skater is stalked by her mother's killer in the weeks following her wedding, but no one seems to believe her despite the number of bodies that begin piling up around her. Who is this crazed madman, and what does he want with Samantha all these years later? Pete Walker fashions another mean little Slasher film out of England while taking key notes from the popular Italian Gialli. Although it is well-played and stylishly directed, the slow pacing, cluttered plot, and predictable twists make this a pretty standard watch. Even still, the bloody payoff in the end comes as a complete shock. Walker slips in several other brutal murder sequences throughout the film while somehow managing to keep it off of the notorious "Video Nasties" list in the UK. With enough atmosphere, killing, and suspense to keep the average viewer's attention, SCHIZO proves to be another enjoyable entry in the early English Slasher cycle.
