She remains a fierce competitor, and she still has her sense of humor. "There are a few things to improve but what can I expect after such a long time", she added.

"I'm not sure. My father did not like it that I throw my racket, I think", Kvitova replied. She sustained damage to the tendons, along with injuries to all five fingers and two nerves, during the attack. She will need to reevaluate her game before the second half of 2017.
This marked Kerber's 11th consecutive trip to the French Open with her best showing when she journeyed to the 2012 quarterfinals.
Also in seeded women's action, Timea Bacsinszky, the No. 30 seed, bested unseeded Sara Sorribes Tormo in her opening match, 6-1, 6-2.
The Czech said: "It's weird. I mean, the pressure is always there", she told a news conference. "It's kind of - I don't want to say 'open, ' because everyone's really good, but - very competitive", Rogers said, "and there's not like that dominating force". The fairy tale ended. I'm still enjoying to playing tennis.
But coming back at Roland Garros was probably a sensible decision, since the emotions at Wimbledon, where her expectations might be higher, could have been more hard to cope with. I'm happy with the game, of course, but it wasn't really about the game today.
"It's a really great tournament for me".
"On clay I'm not feeling so good especially on my movement. I think that my game still suits on the grass, and I will do my best to be there".
The 90th-ranked Nara defeated American teenager Amanda Anisimova, who was making her Grand Slam debut after reaching the junior final here past year, 3-6, 7-5, 6-4.
After the match, many current and former players congratulated Kvitova on her emotional win and her return to tennis.
There was a warm embrace between Kvitova and Mattek-Sands at the net after the American triumphed 7-6 (7-5) 7-6 (7-5).
There was nothing positive for Kerber to take from her 6-2 6-2 loss to Ekaterina Makarova, as she became the first top seed in the women's draw to lose in the opening round at Roland Garros in the Open era. In two sets the German is in deep crisis, lost to Ekaterina Makarova (2:6, 2:6), which will be the next opponent for Lesia Tsurenko.
The 29-year-old Kerber has struggled this year, withdrawing from the Madrid Open with a thigh injury and going down in straight sets to qualifier Anna Kontaveit in Rome. We will have a house again in Wimbledon Village and will be similar to other years.

24 December 2015
A fire in a 56-room hotel could have been much worse.
On Wednesday December 23, 2015, at approximately 11:50 AM, the Prescott Regional Communications Center received multiple notifications of smoke coming from a third story room at the Downtown Prescott Inn, a 56 room extended stay hotel sharing space with two other businesses in the same building. The building, originally the A.J. Head Hotel, dates back to 1896.
Prescott Fire Department and the Central Yavapai Fire District personnel responded to the scene with 3 Engine companies, a Truck Company, a Battalion Chief, a Division Chief, a Utility truck, as well as the Prescott Police Department, Life Line Ambulance, and Fire Investigators. The first arriving fire engine, who was staged less than half a block away, in the rear of the structure, for a medical call, found smoke coming from the rear of the structure on the third floor. Prescott Police Department officers were also in the area for the same medical call and immediately began evacuating the three story structure. Fire personnel made access to the third floor by way of rear stairs in the alley to find heavy smoke on the upper floor. Upon entering the involved apartment, they found the fire under control because an automatic fire sprinkler head was flowing water directly over the fire. Crews assured that the fire was fully extinguished and remained on the scene for 3 hours evacuating water and assisting with getting the building back into working order, as much as possible, so that the least amount of tenants would have to be relocated. The investigation into the cause of the fire continues. There were no injuries from the fire but there were two medical calls that were handled at the scene during the fire. While only one apartment was affected by the fire itself, 10 living rooms were deemed unsafe to inhabit due to not being able to provide electricity to them while cutting power to the areas that water effected. There is no damage estimate as it is currently being evaluated.
There was a significant fire in the same structure in the late 70's that caused a large section of the building to be damaged. An extensive remodel was undertaken in the early 80's and subsequent improvements included the installation of fire alarm and fire sprinkler system. It was those systems that kept fire damage to a minimum and allowed the occupants to safely exit the building from this fire.

Now that the Hyundai A-League Grand Final is over for season nine we look back at some of the biggest stories of this season.
Now that the Hyundai A-League Grand Final is over for season nine we look back at some of the biggest stories of this season.
Manchester City takes controlling interest in Heart
This was huge! After a difficult season on the park for Heart which saw them fail to win a game until round 15, news of Manchester City purchasing the club came as a massive shock. The English Premier League powerhouse-s investment in the club generated huge excitement across the A-League and word of high-profile marquee players for next season is a tantalising prospect.
End of an era
The term 'retiring great- was used a remarkable number of times this season: Harry Kewell, Brett Emerton, Jacob Burns, Terry McFlynn, Mile Sterjovski, Michael Bridges… just some of the wonderful players in this league who called time on their careers.
Ange leaves Victory for Socceroos
Following the removal of Socceroos boss Holger Osiek there were strong calls for a Australian based coach to take over and Ange Postecoglou was the obvious choice. The Victory coach was named the national boss and left Victory after its round three clash with Brisbane Roar - his former club. What a poetic way to go.
Crazy coaching carousel
After winning the A-League Grand Final last season with the Mariners, Graham Arnold-s dream of coaching in Japan was fulfilled when poached by J-League club Vegalta Sendai. But after failing to win a match in the opening six rounds of the season, Arnold parted ways with the club by mutual consent. He-s now favoured to join Sydney FC, who released Frank Farina. Similarly Perth Glory with Alistair Edwards, Jets with Gary Van Egmond and Heart with John Aloisi all made coaching changes.
Gombau-s rise as a Red menace
The popular Spaniard not only put his own special stamp on goal celebrations, the fans voted him coach of the FOXTEL A-League All Stars after his Reds side impressed many with their possession-based game. It-s been his year after arriving as an unknown in the off-season.
Heart's revival after winless run
After failing to win a match for around half the season and following John Aloisi-s sacking, Heart threatened to stage one of the all-time great turnarounds. They went on a seven match unbeaten streak which included six wins and a draw to remarkably put them within striking distance of the top six. Ultimately a late season slump extinguished their finals chances and they eventually ended up with the dreaded wooden spoon. But that revival caught the imagination of many.
Engelaar-s Stunner
Heart-s marquee-man Orlando Engelaar missed the first half of the season after suffering a broken leg in pre-season, but it is no coincidence that his return sparked a Heart revival. The giant midfielder underlined his quality with a stunning half-way goal in round 23 against Central Coast, with some labeling it the best in A-League history. Picking up the ball inside his own half, Engelaar spotted Mariners keeper Liam Reddy off his line and audaciously smacked a drive which left the custodian hopelessly stranded. Rightly awarded A-League goal of the season.
Marquees exit
After two fabulous seasons, Alessandro Del Piero bid farewell to the league and Sydney FC, announcing it just hours before the end of season awards. Will we see him again? Well, yes, the FOXTEL All Stars will feature the Italian master and perhaps he may return in a coaching capacity. As for Shinji Ono, the master left on a high with stunning ACL and A-League performances (and what about the Wanderers- fans- tifo at Pirtek Stadium? It was a work of art). As for Emile Heskey a warm reception when he left the pitch showed how Jets fans felt about their English striker. They loved his contribution to the club.

DISCLAIMER: This site is a mirror of original one that was once available at http://iki.fi/~tuomov/b/
So, I got a new computer (second hand, actually, due to the "glossy and shallow with megabezels" craze widespead in the laptop industry) and, as threatened, first installed Windows XP on it. I, however, decided to give Linux the one last chance.
1. First, I tried the brand new and shining Lenny. Wait… new? Nope. Linux distros are obsolete even before release. Shining…? Nope. Still no hibernate out of the box. Total dung heap, without even chrome plating.
Next up: Xubuntu 8.04, or Hardy Heron. The chrome-plated Debian, and the supposed long-term support (LTS) release.
Well, it installed quite smoothly, but I wouldn't call it "stable" or LTS. Ubuntu must be one of the most broken operating systems on planet earth, and within the few nearest galaxies as well. It sort of works, but then again, it doesn't.
You know, I like swap files; they're much more
flexible than partitions unless you go for complicated
LVM setups that other operating systems can not access.
So I created a swap file. Mistake. No hibernate, not
supported on a swap file. What a crock of shit.
ext3resize it was then and creating an inflexible swap partition.
Now it hibernates. Sort of. When ten thousand sun spots
are correctly aligned and you sacrifice a goat before
the act. Same with standby. It's very unreliable.
Sometimes the fans don't even stop, sleep LED keeps
blinking, you can bring it back, it hasn't shut down,
but the LED keeps blinking, and
sync hangs.
Also, when suspend/hibernate actually works, the desktop pops visible before the screen lock dialog kicks in. Seems like it's executing it after returning from suspension without any synchronisation, creating a security black hole. I wouldn't want to store sensitive data on such a system. Anyone with half a wit would synchronise the screen to be locked when the kernel returns from suspension.
I didn't even bother trying hard drive encryption and hibernate; that's certainly too much asked from Linux without some serious custom scripting and initrd efforts. I actually also installed XUbuntu as the dummy OS on my old computer, which I sold, with a more typical setup, allowing it to create disk swaps in the install. Still no luck: hibernate does not work out of the box.
Fonts… well, at least it seems to have the bytecode
interpreter, and the Xfce4 control center created the basic
two dozen lines XML vomit in
.fonts.conf. (Actually, it seems
to have some Xresources type settings as well in the Xfce
config directories, but i don't know what actually uses them.)
The fonts still sucked, however. Bitmaps blocked. Helvetica blocked.
(Some people seem to have an unfathomable hatred towards Helvetica
and her beauty.)
Had to sudo into
/etc/fonts/conf.d to beat it with a hammer
to get my beautiful Helvetica. Your granny with poor eyesight
is supposed to go do that to be able to read something?
All radios blasting at full power, Fn-F5 toggles only the first one of them, whatever it may be, not offering a way to toggle both of wifi and bluetooth. This operating system was written by skript kiddies.
Imagine a pile of feces. Put the flag gnome-power-manager on it. Put the computer on AC and this program decides to decrease backlight level; increase backlight level with Fn-Home, and its level display shows decrease! It also has no absolute light levels for battery vs. AC, but rather decreases or increases the backlight level by a percentage – rounding it. Mistake, drift.
Actually, this is quite scary reading that I found
The standard GNOME screen-brightness application (gnome-power-manager) does not actually change the brightness of the backlight on the T61, but changes only the color of the pixels on the screen. (lesswats.org)
2. Well, 8.04 was just unusable, so I upgraded to Xubuntu 8.10, or Intrepid Ibex. At least there were some fixes: gnome-power-damager tracks backlight level slightly better and Fn-F5 cycles between all possible combinations of wifi/bluetooth on/off – but without any indication of the exact combination, since Linux seems unaware of the existence of a wifi LED. (On Windows you get a nice dialog, which is much better.)
But there's a big regression: HAL/evdev crud.
Keymaps broken, and the system closing more
and more into an indecipherable black box.
Someone got the bright idea of adding yet more layers of indirection and
standardising keycodes on the kernel level, so now you've got to rewrite
.Xmodmap and suffers from a more complicated system.
They've also decided that X shouldn't see the Fn-combos; although the
ACPI support scripts seem to send them on to the kernel as real keys,
they get intercepted by some HAL or other crap – I have no idea
which part actually, since I'm no longer at all in control of
this complex corporate beast known as Modern Linux.
It's an idiot box.
"Works out of the box". Yeah, riiight! You have to edit HAL XML vomit to disable the touch-or-even-approach-to-me-and-unleash-hell-pad. And to enable scroll wheel emulation on the magnificent Trackpoint: not even WIMPshit for that, let alone decent configuration files or command line tools that would store the configuration. Again HALcrap. And it forgets the configuration over suspend, had to compile a patched version of the evdev crud. sigh. Works out of the box, laughing out loud.
They've even broken
pmount. Apparently the symlinking
arrangements of
/sys have changed, and they've failed to
pmount to reflect this, so it can no longer recognise
removable devices. (In fact, my earlier words about
pmount were a bit too hopeful: it provides no way to specify
sane mount options for NTFS and FAT, which most removable
devices carry.) So, now the only way I know to mount a
removable device without sudoing, is running Thunar and
clicking on the device – mind you, there is actually no
automounter. Well, at least it (or HAL) chooses saner
FS label-based mount points than
pmount, which chose
random device node based mount points. But
sucks donkey balls. Windows/DOS drive letters are much
more comfortable to use from the command line than
these long mount point names.
Since I found it in the menu, I tried burning a DVD using Brasero instead of growisofs or cdrecord. (Debian lamers: stick Wodim where the sun doesn't shine.) Well… it segfaults mid-burn. Niiiice! Luckily it was a rewritable disk. Turning a write-once disk bought from within Finland into a coaster would've sucked: 78¢ protection money to the mafia, 22¢ to the manufacturer and logistics chain, and nothing for you. Even with postage, it's more affordable to order even small amounts of media from Estonia or elsewhere.
Playing with the powertop, I noted that it (and lesswatts.org) suggested disabling HAL from frequently polling the DVD drive for a disk to save power. Polling?!?? What kind of morons write this software?!? I'm pretty sure the device signals the closing of the door and insertion of disk. Well, I disable the polling. After this, HAL-dependent crap, like the aforementioned Thunar and Brasero (of the few things that I'd encountered) no longer could recognise the insertion of a disk in the drive; I could not even find a manual poll option. What a load of shit.
Regarding power saving, it would be nice to be able to
undervolt the Pentium M processor. On Linux, even such
a primitive task demands a massive kernel recompilation
task. It's not fun, but I tried. And failed. Following – or
rather, applying the outdated – Ubuntu undervolting HOWTO.
No control files appeared in
/sys. So much for powersaving
under Linux.
3. The version of ATI Catalyst Control Center provided on Intrepid Ibex was totally broken. The fonts are all boxes. Only gamma, no contrast control, no brightness control, which has to be done through software on this laptop. Thus it is not possible to calibrate the display to gamma 2.2.
So, I tried to get a newer version of the fglrx drivers from ATI. Mistake. Now suspend/hibernate stopped working altogether. Apparently you need a huge pile of duct tape and cable tie from the distribution to make it work at least some of the time. V-e-r-y reliable this Linux, held together by dirty hacks.
So back to the ancient version in the distribution.
Another problem: XVideo is not enabled by default, mplayer won't scale videos, or will use power-consuming software scaling. Had to edit Xorg.conf – hey, wasn't this supposed to be obsoleted in favour of HAL XML vomit? – to enable it. Works out of the box?!?!?
Regarding media players, I still haven't found one that would work embedded in Opera – in Linux, that is. (No, I won't touch Gnomefox with a long stick.) mplayer-plugin loads, but it is a joke, it can't follow all the gazillion wmv redirects on some sites. vlc-plugin fails to load, because it has its mime types poorly described. gstreamer and all that dung – no clue. Some launcher plugins work, but I'd rather have an embedding plugin.
4. At one point, I tried to switch to Kubuntu, to get rid of some of the acidhead gnome crap that even Xfce depends on.
Mistake. Back to Xubuntu.
I used to think that KDE sucks less than Gnome, but KDE4 may have surpassed Gnome in suckiness. Disclaimer: I have no idea how much a recent full Gnome system sucks. And I don't want to know; the ubiquitous parts, such as the File Rejector and gnome-power-manager, are bad enough.
Actually, about the File Rejector that to my unfathomable
shock popped an in Opera of all things. [It seems to use
that crap when it detects some gnome components.
Quickly disabled from
I noticed that the File Rejector finally has a button to
toggle on a text input box. Too bad it's pretty much useless:
it doesn't understand '
..' in any special way, just like the
File Rejector never did understand or even show such a directory
in its listings. Entering '
..' in
foo/bar goes to
instead of beautifying to
foo, and eventually the File Rejector
gets totally confused.
One thing that really pisses me off about Modern Linux is the unusable dual-clipboard insanity that these desktop projects have created. The mouse selection and middle-click paste clipboard has been made completely distinct from keyboard-based clipboard. There's no other way to copy that URL from an xterm than mouse plain selection, and it's more convenient than having to hit an additional key anyway. But when you don't have a middle button – and I don't, as it's scroll toggle on the Trackpoint – it's more convenient to paste with the keyboard than flimsy middle click emulation. But you can no longer do that with gtk/Qt crap – at least not without spending an awful lot of time going through developer documentation to reconfigure.
(And, yet, there's a very simple solution: the paste key should paste the "selection" whenever it exists, and this should only be the case when it is actually painted on the screen, whether by keyboard or by pointer. Otherwise the explicitly copied "clipboard" is pasted.)
5. Summary: Ubuntu is a joke. The most deeply rusted chrome-plated OS I have ever installed.
I could maybe live with providers of proprietary drivers giving a shit about their Linux drivers' quality, if the FOSS base didn't suck. But it is totally rotten.
Linux is largely developed by money from companies who live on providing support for it; not on providing the software itself. It is doubtful that such an arrangement can produce good software.
Coming up in some months: Defection? Part 3. Windows.

Compared to last year I wrote one fewer fic and about 1000 fewer words, but more fandoms altogether.
General questions:
Looking back, did you write more fics than you thought you would this year, less than you thought, or about what you predicted?
Less. I had terrible writer's block for most of the year. The solution to writer's block is to give yourself permission to write crap. Which was fine, but at some point it all had to be less crap and actually finished. Yuletide assignments going out while I was off work on holiday but too ill to go anywhere was why I ended up writing a lot. Those fics have a lot of drafts.
What pairing/genre/fandom did you write that you would never have predicted last year?
The Last Leg. Last year I mentioned that I was on the slippery slope of RPF by writing Historical Farm for Yuletide 2015. I think it's safe to say I'm now firmly at the bottom of it.
What's your favourite story this year? Not the most popular, but the one that makes you the happiest.
Doctor Who: At Last a Dragon. Because it's the Doctor and John Chesterton having fun. It's just a nice, happy story.
Okay, NOW your most popular story.
The Librarians: How to Pick up Women in Bars. It wasn't my most popular story until 2017! Somehow it has managed 28 kudos and 4 comments on AO3. My Librarians fic seems attract kudos (but few comments). It's more of a comment on the fandom than my writing, mind you.
Story most underappreciated by the universe?
Enterprise: Fire to the Finish. Because it seems like no one cares about Malcom Reed & Archer friendship fic. I can't blame them - neither did I until I started researching/writing it.
Story that could have been better?
The Last Leg: Tutu Too. I feel like it's my least good of the four Last Leg fics.
Sexiest story?
Usually I struggle with this and manage to find something with a kiss in it. But this time I have Doctor Who: Double Desolation. It involves mentions of what just happened during sex and getting dressed.
Saddest story?
So Doctor Who: Tea and Biscuits is set just before the Eleventh Doctor knows he's going to die.
Most fun?
Father Ted: Twitterati is just silly all the way through.
Story with single sweetest moment?
This was a really hard one, but probably the ending of Doctor Who: Second Chance with the Doctor's Companion
Hardest story to write?
Doctor Who: Double Desolation. When I started it I realised that although I liked the idea of Missy/Clara, I struggled to find a reason why Clara would go along with that. And I struggled to think of Missy as not a hamster.
Easiest/most fun story to write?
The Last Leg: Conundrum was the easiest. It's mostly fluff and fluff is what I find easiest to write.
Did any stories shift your perceptions of the characters?
The Aztec Zone Mistake. I hadn't really thought about any of these people that much before and now I had to get in their heads (particularly Josh's). It was a while after I finished before I could watch The Last Leg in quite the same way as I had before I started.
Most overdue story?
Doctor Who: Doctor Who: At Last a Dragon was about six months late.
Did you take any writing risks this year? What did you learn from them?
I did femslashex this year, having thought for a couple of years that I should try it once. I learnt that I could do it, but I am not that into femslash as a thing (just as much as I'm not into slash, het or gen as things).
What are your fic writing goals for next year?
Finish some things I started a couple of years ago. Get a line on my gen prompt bingo card and then get another (despite writing 8 fics for Yuletide, none of them fit a single open square on my card). Do Chocolate Box. Other than that, see what comes up. I'd like to write some more Librarians and maybe some more Last Leg, but we'll see. Let's not mention Lynda Day of the Chalet School...

CPSIA Meets the Food Industry
The Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009, House Bill 875, has 40 co-sponsors and was referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Committee on Agriculture on February 4, 2009.
It has such a "safe sounding" title:
Title: To establish the Food Safety Administration within the Department of Health and Human Services to protect the public health by preventing food-borne illness, ensuring the safety of food, improving research on contaminants leading to food-borne illness, and improving security of food from intentional contamination, and for other purposes. (emphasis mine!)
Just like "any" became a big problem in CPSIA -- this section "and for other purposes" should concern us.
There are two portions of the first directions that jumped out at me right away were: Directs the Administrator to: (1) administer a national food safety program; and (6) establishing a national traceability system for food.
I don't believe a national food safety program would be one of the constitutionally granted roles of the federal government. And a tracing system for our food? I'm not liking that idea.
I believe there are some other issues with the law, those are just the ones I know of right now. Definitely a good law to contact our representatives about voting against!

It boggles my mind that they think we *can* trace all our food. It's like these members of Congress were absent from school the day they took the field trip to the farm to find out where food comes from. Do they think tomatoes come equipped with GPS or something, and that all we'd have to do is activate it and we'd know where each tomato went when it left the farm? and where each of those tomatoes went thereafter? Do they not know that the tomatoes get mixed up with tomatoes from other farms and then parts of them get shipped off to make salsa and others to be canned and still others to be ground up into barbecue sauce and ketchup? How the hell do they think we can track the damn things?ReplyDelete
Geez, some people's kids...
I'm glad to see you posting about this, and I will definitely be doing some reading of my own, and look forward to hearing more of your thoughts.ReplyDelete
And have you heard our president thinks it is one of the governments most important jobs to regulate food safety? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090314/ap_on_go_pr_wh/obama_food_safety
A highlight from the article: "Protecting the safety of our food and drugs is one of the most fundamental responsibilities government has." - President Obama
Another blog about this bill... http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog.php?view=12671
I'm so mad -- again -- that I could spit nails. In the article about Obama's food safety stance that Melissa mentioned, the President claims: "The nation's food safety system is a 'hazard to public health' and overdue for an overhaul,' as he filled the top job at the Food and Drug Administration." AARGH!!! Give me a break. I couldn't read much more of the article.ReplyDelete
My sentiments exactly, Aunt Cathy! Unfortunately this bill sounds like the sort of thing his administration will put a ton of support behind and push through before it can really be looked at. The biggest good news is that the word is getting out while it is still in committee.ReplyDelete

If ever there was a team to stamp its mark on the European Cup Winners' Cup it was RSC Anderlecht. Going into the deciding game of the 1978 edition the Royal Sporting Club were now featured in three consecutive finals. Their record stood at 1-1: In 1976 they won 4:2 against West Ham, in 1977 they fell 0:2 to Hamburg.
Together with Club Brugge and Standard Liège RSCA stood at the forefront of a golden age for Belgian football. National champions Brugge had made it to the 1978 European Cup final. While their compatriots would lose to a supreme Liverpool side, Anderlecht were the clear favorites in the Cup Winners' final. The Belgians had won six of their eight games in the competition, drawing another and losing just one. Only Hamburg in the Second round kept the aggregate score within a one goal difference. Lokomotiv Sofia, Porto and Twente hardly stood a chance.
Vienna, by contrast, inched their way to Parc des Princes where the final was staged. Cardiff City were beaten 1:0 on aggregate. Against Lokomotíva Košice they prevailed after two draws virtue of having scored the only away goal of the tie. Penalties were needed against both Hajduk Split and Dynamo Moscow. Curiously Split failed to convert even one penalty.
Nevertheless Vienna made it to the final. According to Elo the probability of an Austria win after 90 minutes stood at only 13%, forcing extra time would occur in one of every five cases.
An inkling of hope was derived from, as the French commentary introduced him, "numero huit, Pro'aschka". Only 22 years old, playmaker Herbert Prohaska was already the focal point of the team. Against Anderlecht the seminal talent faced his stiffest test yet.
Anderlecht quicker out of the blocks
As the German referee Heinz Aldinger waits for the go ahead from the sidelines so Austria can kick off, the players stand around for a minute trying to keep warm. The whistle comes a bit unceremoniously but instantly five Anderlecht players dart forward to pressure the first pass back. Still in the center circle three of them combine to foul Prohaska. Welcome to the big stage.
There are hardly jitters from either side as the feeling out period is skipped and the match is immediately wide open. Both go forward with speed, trying to gap the midfield quickly on the ground. If anything, though, it feels like Austria are getting suckered into playing Anderlecht's game and the underdog soon revert to putting everyone behind the ball.
RSCA look to stretch the field as wide as possible when in possession but shrink it vertically as the back-line sets up inside Austria's half. They enjoy ample time moving the ball around as Vienna only press at around 35 yards in front of their goal. Joining the back four to speed up the ball distribution is Ludo Coeck. His target on each attack is getting the ball to Rob Rensenbrink.
Anderlecht's most potent attacking threat is put under double coverage by Vienna. As soon as the 30-year-old receives the ball he is tackled. To better elude the opposition Rensenbrink soon falls back a bit from his forward position in order to turn and run at the defence once he gets the ball.
In such a fashion Rensenbrink blows by Obermayer to get into the box (12'), a tackle brings the forward down. It's not enough for Aldinger to award a penalty and inconclusive on tape.
And it's altogether unimportant as the very next Anderlecht attack produces the first goal of the day. Though, "attack" might be an overstatement: Austria's build up, over their right side, fails at the second pass. Switching quickly Anderlecht take it forward. In the middle Rensenbrink makes a run for the near post. Franky Vercauteren sends in a low cross that, just before it gets there, takes a bounce and arrives waist-high. Rensenbrink, non-plussed, meets it airborne and guides the softest of volleys into the net past Hubert Baumgartner (13').
Prohaska spurs on Austria
It takes a while for Vienna to regain composure and focus. For the most part Anderlecht need not show a lot of urgency while pressing, knowing full well that the first or second ball into the forward line will end up at their feet anyway.
They do however needlessly give away a free kick in central position, maybe 25 yards out. Thomas Parits had taken on four Belgians by himself. His courage was rewarded, a free kick the best he could have hoped for in the situation. Three Austrians stand over the ball with Prohaska directing traffic, teed up perfectly for a right footer to curl it over the wall into the left upper corner. Instead, two of the run-ups are fakes, to allow Felix Gasselich a chipped cross out onto the right wing. Robert Sara takes it out of the air, sends it across the face of goal where at the far corner Ernst Baumeister had snuck in. It's a training ground move pulled off perfectly, alas goalkeeper de Bree had it scouted and smothers the cross (23').
Austria favor a similar tactic going forward to Anderlecht's 4-3-3 with wide forwards stretching the field horizontally. On defence, however, Erich Obermayer drops behind the back-line to act as sweeper. In turn his colleagues in defence would venture forward to bolster numbers in midfield. Distribution around the back falls to Gasselich, whilst Prohaska connects midfield and attack.
Ten minutes after the opener Prohaska is gliding through midfield, side-steps one tackle and times a through ball for Karl Daxbacher perfectly, negating the Anderlecht off-side trap. De Bree is out quickly again to prevent a shot. One of many times de Bree would stifle Vienna's attempts with very good anticipation.
Austria are very fluid in midfield. Daxbacher and Gasselich will switch sides, drift outside, or go forward to offer Prohaska another option in the attacking line. The underdogs have re-grouped after the opening goal and showed that they can pose a threat going forward if Anderlecht are snoozing on the press.
Anderlecht's individual class wins the match
The Belgians, in turn, going forward are, on the day, very reliant on the individual class of their forwards, and whoever in midfield moves up. Rensenbrink and Vercauteren combine in an artistic one-two over the left wing, resulting in a shot a foot off target (29').
Two more such pieces of individual quality should put the final to bed before half-time.
Anderlecht earn a free-kick in a similar position to Vienna's earlier. Without the fanfare, though, Rensenbrink takes a short run-up and curls the ball around the far side of the four man wall putting enough bend on it to tuck it into the inside of the post for his brace (44').
From kick-off a visibly rattled Vienna side get stuck quickly. Gilbert Van Binst is the fastest on the counter attack and is sent into space on the right wing. A first deft touch takes him around Obermayer, his only opposition on the path towards goal. A second touch slots the ball into the lower far corner of the goal for the deciding 3:0. Mercifully the match isn't re-started again until fifteen minutes later.
Having had a chance to re-group Vienna are caught between pushing on to pull a goal back and usher in an unrealistic comeback, or to simply shut up shop to prevent catching another three or four at the back and thus entering complete debacle territory. Valiantly the underdog side chose to push on and take control of the game in the early stages of the second half. Rarely, though, do they actually get into dangerous areas.
For Anderlecht, though, that is all too easy. François Van der Elst has no trouble breezing past two Austrians on a counter attack, but maybe finishes his move too early as he shoots still 20 yards out, missing the goal by inches (58').
Debacle Territory, next exit
It's all too easy for Anderlecht, indeed: Vercauteren tees one up for Benny Nielsen, sending a long ball up from just inside his own half. The Danish forward, back to the goal, 28 yards out, controls the pass with his chest, and falling backwards pulls off a volley shot earning a corner (63').
Whatever steam Vienna had coming out of the break, it's gone mid-way through the second half. The Austrian side are bent out of shape, opponents are left unmarked and get too much time and space on the ball as demonstrated by Nielsen's not-quite-zlatanesk effort. The offense is reduced to "give it to Prohaska and let him figure it out". Even after the introduction of Alberto Martinez and Fritz Drazan for Daxbacher and Morales respectively, Schneckerl has little to work with at this stage of the match.
It would be an exercise in cruelty to go through every wasted Anderlecht chance heretofore. Suffice it to say, the 4:0 could, and in all likelihood should have come sooner. With eight minutes to go van Binst ventures into the attacking third, takes the ball to the edge of the box. Obermayer is on him but the Belgian feints, pulls inside and, still from the outside of the box, curls a shot into the far upper corner of the goal.
Unfortunately for the neutral viewer Austria were only able to stay competitive for the first half hour or so. Even that was in some part down to Anderlecht playing it lax on defence in midfield. Afterwards the match was really as lopsided as it had appeared on paper beforehand.
- Man Of The Match: Rob Rensenbrink, for putting Anderlecht on the path towards victory; as dangerous as one could have hoped going in.
- Best Hair: Benny Nielsen.
- Viewing Recommendation: Borderline, interesting enough for the attacking prowess of Anderlecht, but altogether a bit too uncompetitive. Highlights are a must, though, for the goals alone.

Basic Information
Name: Eira Marie von Zarkonheinz
Nicknames: Marie
Appearance Age: Early 20s
True Age: 21
Gender: Female
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 145
- Spoiler:
Character Information
Personality: Eira Marie von Zarkonheinz is the youngest sibling of four girls. She's the youngest, the least attractive, the least talented, the least skilled, and the least kind. Determined to do one thing right in the eyes of her Father, she has become an expert of hating Arcanists. She takes her hatred to a new level, one that even some Zakatians might raise an eyebrow at. This hatred is most often pointed toward Arcadians and the Salan. She wasn't always this way. Eira changed when her Mother became sick and she watched both of her parents suffer. She learned this behavior from her Father and enhanced it in hopes of impressing him. Her insecurity complex depends on it.
Eira is an extremely insecure girl, especially when she's had to follow behind her sisters, who are often looked at as "perfect". Eira was always the ugly one with little talent, no skill, and average intelligence. She had nothing that made her shine among them and any light she did create was suppressed by the sheer distracting beauty of her sisters. Worst of the three was her eldest sister, Tsubine. Eira has come to resent her sister and loved the day Tsubine left home and hoped she'd never return. At least with her other sisters, Eira had the chance to be looked at as something special. With Tsubine around, there was absolutely no hope for her and she hated it. For now, she was free from that.
On her own, Eira is actually quite the kind girl. She's very sweet and more curious than anything else. She loves getting to know people and has a habit of doing her best to make others feel special. Since she's always felt like the least special one of her own family, she doesn't want anyone else to feel that way. She always finds something, even if it's just one thing, beautiful about someone. She always finds something kind to say and hopes to brighten someone's day with her words and a smile. The only exceptions are Arcadian's, the Salan, and anyone that is an Arcanist. Eira doesn't just hate them, but she fears them, so being around any of those makes her uncomfortable, so she goes silent.
Character Background: Eira Marie grew up watching her Father hate the mere mention of Arcanists and so, she mimicked his behavior as if it were normal. She realized as she got older by the way her sister's and mother reacted to this that it wasn't right, but she didn't change it. Eira grew up with a group of beatiful sisters and a Mother whose looks could be deemed a gift from the gods. Every one of her sisters was very kind. If they weren't kind, they were talented. If they weren't talented, they learned a skill that made them seem that way. And though Eira was quite beautiful, next to the other women in her family, she was the ugly duckling and people often decided to point it out.
The first time Eira heard the comparison was when she and her sisters were shopping. A passerby decided to mention how the "youngest one was nothing in compared to the others". The second time this came around was when she overheard two family friends say "poor little Eira had nothing on them". Eira never mentioned any of this to her sisters or to her parents, especially since one of these times she overheard her Father. "Eira is quite disappointing. Her grades are average and she has no after school activities. Oh well, at least we have three daughters that aren't messing up, especially so soon." This broke Eira and she stopped speaking until she was seventeen years old because of it.
For years, Eira was completely silent. She stayed like a ghost to the family, never holding any conversations. Anytime someone tried to get her to talk, she'd just give them a dead stare. The only reason she ever spoke up again was because a touring Arcanist tried to show off his Arcana. With her Father near her, they both scowled and Eira spoke only where he could hear, "Blasphemous cretin..." Eira began speaking again that day, but barely. It took her over a year to get back to what could be called her normal. She was still very different and it stayed that way up until Tsubine left. Eira took Tsubine's leaving as an opportunity to get herself noticed, and not just by her family, but everyone.
Over the last few months, Eira has been vanishing for days and sometimes weeks at a time. She doesn't tell her family where she's going and always seems to lose them when and if they try to follow. Eira has had a secret, one that she absolutely despises having. In the last few months, Eira has discovered her own Arcana. It came to her naturally when she was mugged in an alley and was suddenly able to walk through walls. Ever since she discovered this, she's been doing her best to keep it a secret and has even researched ways of getting rid of it. She has a horrible time controlling it, so being near her family when it randomly decides to go off is bad, so she keeps leaving her home.
Type: Arcanist
Description: Eira has the ability to alter her body. She doesn't know how to control it, or how many changes she can make. She also thinks that they hey all happen randomly or based off of her emotions, but she can't tell. These are the few she has had happen so far:
- Invisibility: The ability to vanish from sight.
- Steel: Her body becomes so hard and heavy it's like striking a heavy wall of steel.
- Ghost: Her body is no longer solid and allows objects to pass through her, or her through them.
Equipment: N/A
Skills: N/A

"I took my daily swim at the Beverly Hills Hotel pool
despite the presence of onlookers."
–Esther Williams
A kind and observant client has brought it to our attention that travel agents sometimes use jargon to describe features of a proposal which leave the client confused. Because we hear these terms frequently we assume everyone understands when we talk about a trip using buzzwords with lots of cachet for those IN the trade. We forget that these words can confound people rather than inspire them. That is not the direction we want to go!
Today I offer the first installation in what will be an occasional feature on travel terms. I uncovered so many questionable terms I decided to divide them into categories. Today I will de-mystify terms used to describe hotels and resorts. Congratulate yourself if you already know them all; or tuck away for future reference the ones which are new to you.
Property – A resort or hotel. "This property is especially romantic," refers to everything about the establishment, not just the real estate on which it sits.
All inclusive – Meals, snacks, drinks, and activities are included in the rate quoted to you. "All" usually does not mean 100% however, as there might be an additional charge for scuba diving, spa treatments, motorized water sports such as water skiing, and up-market labels of liquor or imported beers. Inquire what is not included in the "all-inclusive" price.
Amenities – Hotels and resorts offer particular benefits to guests if they were booked by an agency in a special relationship with the hotel/resort. Guests booked by Virtuoso agencies such as my own Vista Travel might receive a free breakfast, a room upgrade, or a credit to use in the spa or restaurants. Virtuoso affiliated properties offer many other amenities unique to each place. This can be a significant additional value.
Deluxe, Luxury, First class, Four (or Five) Star – These designations for hotels can be confusing even to us in the business. They all mean the place is very nice, among the best in the region, but they are often self-proclaimed (like self-named TCBY, The Country's Best Yogurt). Hotels boasting a certain Star rating, however, usually received that from a tourism department so it is objective. Star ratings indicate the sorts of services offered by a hotel rather than the level of luxury, but the implications are valid. (These stars do not equate to Michelin stars for restaurants where the absolute highest is three stars.)
Suite, Junior suite, Double double – These are types of rooms you could reserve. A suite should have a separate living room area which can be closed off from the bedroom. A junior suite has a living area with a small couch but this is open to the bedroom. A double double is one room with two double beds.
Ocean view vs. ocean front (also resort view, pool view) – All refer to where a particular room is located on the property. From an ocean view you can see the ocean. An ocean front unit would be right next to the water (but might not be closest to the beach if it is on a bluff). You might also be offered a resort view or pool view. No one advertises a "dumpster view."
Guarantee and Deposit – Unless you are prepaying your stay at a property they will probably want a guarantee or a deposit when you make the booking. A guarantee requires your credit card so that they can charge you if you do not show up to stay there as reserved. A deposit allows the property to charge you for the first night stay when you make the reservation. They keep the money if you cancel after a particular time.
MAP, BP, EP – These terms refer to which meals are included in the nightly rate. MAP is Modified American Plan, meaning breakfast and dinner. BP stands for Bermuda Plan, a full breakfast daily. EP stands for European Plan, meaning no meals. (Think of it as "Empty Plate.")
P.P.D.O. – Per person double occupancy. An ad in the Sunday Travel section might say the cost for three nights is "$399 p.p.d.o." Two people staying on that package would pay a total of $798. If you ask for the same plan as a single traveler you will pay more than the quoted rate.
Infinity pool – This is a swimming pool where at least one side has no wall above the waterline. Water usually spills over the edge and from a distance it looks like the pool goes on forever.
Plunge pool – This is a small private swimming pool (maybe only six feet square perhaps, but deep) designed for a quick dip to cool off. These are often attached to rooms at especially romantic resorts. Check out this display of infinity plunge pools at Jade Mountain resort in St. Lucia.
If you have encountered other obscure terms not covered here, let me know and I will include them in future installments. We try to paint a clear picture of our stellar offerings. We really do not want to scare you away with confusion!
Boundaries divide. Travel unites.

"Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific: Best Option in Post-TPP Era?" was published after the US President-elect Donald Trump announced to retreat from TPP in the first day of his presidency. The report points out that a TPP without the United States will lose the potential to set rules for global trade in the 21st Century. The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership may be a replacement in Asia Pacific in the short term but not an ideal alternative to TPP in a long run.
The report suggests that the United States and China, as the world's two largest economies, are playing decisive roles in the future of global economy. Whether they can cooperate well with each other determines if it will move towards a more open/integrated or divisive/isolated economy. The two countries are advised to seek consensus on global economic norms and jointly push forward the FTAAP establishment to eventually benefit from the integration of value chain in Asian Pacific and create more benefits to the people in the region and the world.
In the recent years, within the scope of the APEC summits, China has more than once put forward the proposal for the establishment of a Free Trade Agreement of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP), in order to favor the integration of the Chinese and the American economic systems and to bring extra dividends to both the Asia Pacific and global economies. In the meanwhile, the Asia Pacific countries seeking an increase in economic cooperation and in the integration of the supply chain have gradually turned to negotiating two "supra-regional Free Trade Areas": the US-led TPP, and the ASEAN-guided RCEP, both characterized by competitiveness and a certain degree of complementarity. The negotiations have been accelerating in recent years, but in the end have both proved to be the paths for the realization of the FTAAP.
The TPP agreement is though to be characterized by great inclusiveness, wide coverage and high standards: the twelve original members are located in the whole area of the Pacific Rim, including both big manufacturer countries as well as areas rich in resources. The thirty chapters of the TTP agreement contain rules about the regulation of multiple "beyond-boundaries" relations and "topics for discussion of the 21st century", setting the zero tariff policy as ultimate goal for the trade in goods. In comparison, the RCEP is based on five basic rules of free trade ("10+1"). It underlines that ASEAN has a crucial importance in the regional integration program, being able to further strengthening the East Asia production network and its integration in the global value chain. It is open, flexible, in constant evolution and keeps into consideration the different features of each country. Thanks to its increasing openness, comprehensive nature and gradual development, it can meet the needs of countries with different levels of growth, and help buinding the technical cooperation that the developing economies need. Despite this, the contents of the RCEP related to free trade are quite traditional, and do not include any multiple "beyond-borders" mentions.
The twelve potential members of the TPP reached a basic agreement on October 2015, and met on February 4th 2016 to sign it. But the result of the American Presidential Elections have changed the future of the agreement. In the evening of the last 21st November, the incoming President Donald Trump released his "Hundred Days" program, where the "US drop out of the TPP" appeared among the listed plans.
Because of the American retreat, the TPP is no longer a potential "global economic rule for the 21st century". However, even if the TPP is facing a "stranding", the RCEP will probably not be able to fully replace it in the future. The TPP would play an important role in stimulating agricultural reforms in Japan and other countries, and in promoting the increasing share of the service sector in the world economies. Looking at RCEP, a huge distance exists between its five "10+1" rules, ASEAN is the main member of it, and many member countries lack any leadership skill: these reasons explain why RCEP has no chance to become the "global economic rule of the 21st century".
In the era of the "global value chains", companies all over the world are linked together through the chain "trade – investments – services – IPR", and bring to the customers' door punctual high quality and cost-effective products thanks to the constant bidirectional flow of goods, people, creativity and investments. This is the reason why the economic policies of the 21st century should reduce the obstacles to any of these flows and increase the stability of the supply chain by means of common rules and universal standards, so as to benefit all of its participants.
The common participation of the first and second world economies – the US and China – is fundamental to set the "global economic rules of the 21st century". The two countries have established diplomatic relations 30 years ago, and since then the trade value between the two sides has increased by 200 times. The US investments to China total more than 200 billion dollars, while the opposite flow of investments amounts to 64 billion dollars, surpassing in 2015 the US direct investments of the same year towards China. The cooperation between US and China in the scope of the governance of the global economy is going to decide whether the future economy will be more open and integrated or will go towards isolationism and beggar-thy-neighbor policies. This is a crucial historical period, where China is searching for a structural transformation of the economy and the new American government is implementing new economic strategies: the common promotion of the FTAAP is well aligned with both countries' economic and strategic interests. FTAAP is then the best option in the "post-TPP era".

Kings Of Leon definitely attract lots of female celebrity groupies
Kings Of Leon recently played an intimate private gig in New York, and while of course groupie Lily Aldridge was there (because she's married to Kings Of Leon frontman Caleb Followill), they also had quite a few other female celebrity groupies.
The Taylor Swift squad (that of course includes Lily Aldridge) was on the scene with their VIP passes in hand.
Dakota Johnson (new-comer to the Taylor Swift squad), Martha Hunt, Cara Delevingne, Lorde, Lily Donaldson, Suki Waterhouse, and Taylor Swift were all obviously into getting intimately private with Kings Of Leon, and well they did, although maybe not as a double entendre.

More V-sat mobile units to connect hospital network1 min read . Updated: 11 Oct 2007, 02:47 PM IST
More V-sat mobile units to connect hospital network
More V-sat mobile units to connect hospital network
By PTI
Coimbatore: Space Telemedicine, claimed to be the largest telemedicine initiative in Asia, would soon launch 600 mobile V-Sat units, to connect the smallest towns with major super speciality hospitals across India, a senior company official said on 11 October.
As villages and small towns have no proper access to major hospitals, particularly during the crucial Emergency phase or accidents, telemedicine plays a vital role to save patients from the jaws of death, M Paranidharan, regional manager of the company said.
Space has already networked with 57 leading hospitals in India, with seven in Tamil Nadu, he said adding that the company would place 600 mobile V-Sats in Tier II and Tier III cities and towns and villages and remote areas, "with an idea to move the clinical information rather than the patient."
On the concept, he said that depending on the need and availablity of specialists, the local general practitioner can choose from scheduled live interactive consultation, where the specialist is available at a pre-fixed time.
Besides on demand live interactive consultations, mainly during Emergency, there is Store and Forward consultations, where the local general practitioner forwards patient records and diagnostic test reports, receives specialist opinion and gives the diagnoses at a later date,Paranidharan said.

Aleda is a revolutionary brand of cigarette papers; revolutionary, as the papers are not actually papers – this brand uses 100% natural cellulose. There is no plastic involved, meaning that this is a very environmentally friendly brand. With no chemicals and no glue, you can be sure that there is no bad taste when you are using these papers. They are transparent which means that you can see exactly what is inside at all times.
One of the reasons why this brand of cigarette papers is popular is that you get a slower burn than with other papers and, what's more, there is no aroma from the paper. Most brands of cigarette paper use bleaches and other chemicals such as arsenic and metals such as lead. If it sounds as though these things are bad for you, it is because they are and that is why Aleda does not use them.
These papers are king size, measuring 110mm in length, and have been made in Brazil. Each pack contains 40 papers. They are very cost effective and the more you buy the more you can save, so you can choose from just one pack or buying in bulk. Once you have tried these you will not want to go elsewhere.
Aleda were formed a decade ago in 2006 by a young entrepreneur named Renato Volonghi, and many claim that his all-natural cellulose papers have revolutionised the market, with their chemical and plastic free, environmentally friendly ingredients!

Sheffield Select Board Meeting
Present: Walter Smith, Maxwell (Max) Aldrich and Charles Gilman

The meeting was called to order at 6:00 PM by Max Aldrich as Chairman with the following business being transacted:
Any Additions, Deletions or Amendments to Agenda
There were no changes to the agenda.
Several items of correspondence were reviewed but none needed any specific action.

Max brought up a concern that a result of the pay per throw trash plan would be dumping of trash beside the road.
The price that Sheffield is charging for trash bags is in line or lower than other towns.
No other citizen concerns were voiced.
Supplemental Compensation for Dennis Newland
Dennis Newland has returned to work following the on the job injury he sustained. While out of work, he was paid two-thirds of his usual salary.

Consider joining the coalition effort being sponsored by the town of Rutland
The select board began review of a letter from the Town of Rutland to "form a coalition of Vermont communities which will support reasonable legislation to restore local community input to the regulatory process when addressing the issue of Solar Siting in our state."
A second letter, dated January 0, 2015 was received from Renewable Energy Vermont urging that the resolution not be signed.
Given that the select board has not had adequate time to review both letters, Walter Smith made the motion to table the item until the next meeting. Charles Gilman seconded the motion. Motion passed unanimously.
Non-binding business to be brought before the board.
Max asked Ed Richardson about the cleanliness of the Town Hall. Coordinators of regular activities clean and mop after the event is over. There has been a communication breakdown over when the hall has been rented and when the hall was inspected last. Ed needs to know if there is a problem with the cleaning and he will arrange for the hall to be cleaned.
The drive shaft on the new town truck came apart due to a faulty casting, resulting in a leaking radiator. Cost is approximately $5,000.00 to fix the truck. Max was urged by the other members of the board to pursue payment from the people who installed the truck body. Repairs should not come under the truck's warranty.
With no other business to come before the Board, Walter made a motion to adjourn, seconded by Charles, the motion passed and the meeting was adjourned at 6:25 pm.

We discussed the news earlier in the week about the next stage of Freeze's electronic legacy in Liverpool, bringing in the Innervisions label for a special showcase. Whilst we're rightly excited about Dixon, Ame and Guy Gerber hitting the city, one man who's been at the heartbeat of all of their recent success stories has been resident Jemmy.
Since warming up for Danny Howells and Hernan Cattaneo at Liverpool Cathedral in 2011 Jemmy has been an ever present at Freeze, offered a residency straight after his set that night and being the aural platform the DJs have built their appearances on ever since.
As well as his residency at Freeze he's also a regular for Cream, both their events in Liverpool and Ibiza as well as Creamfields too. He started the summer by throwing us a mix when we launched our Mixcloud series, and although we couldn't quite pin him down to an interview then we've finally pulled it off now.
So then, how has 2013 been for you so far?
Every year seems to get better and better. Me and the missus adopted an amazing but mental rescue dog called Benji early this year, I can't think of a single rubbish gig so far and I am loving every minute of my time in the studio.
How were your sets in Creamfields and also Cream Ibiza this summer?
I played in Richie Hawtin's Enter arena this year, it was wonderful; electronic music at its finest. There was a really nice vibe in there all day. Ibiza was huge, everyone at Cream should be really proud of what they're achieving out there, somehow it seems to be getting bigger and better every year I play.
Freeze presents Innervisions is coming up. Are you a fan of the Dixon, Ame and the label, and also Guy Gerber?
Musically there isn't many artists inspiring me more right now than these three. I can't think of a better line up, it will blow everyone away… including me.
How have your gigs been for Freeze this year?
Loved them. They have all been very different in terms of the setting and stuff, but they all have the same spirit – the freeze crowd. Nothing compares
We've also seen you've released a record recently for Bedrock, tell us about that. You pleased with the general response to it?
Yeah this latest single has definitely had the best and biggest response of anything I've done so far. I have been blown away by the reaction to be honest… big thanks to everyone supporting it.
As a born and bred scouser you'll know the city inside out. There's a sea of students about to embark on the city, if you had to give them one bit of advice, what would it be?
Stop drinking too much in concert square and throwing up all over my shops shutters.
Ha! So you're also behind legendary record shop 3b. Still enjoying the trials and tribulations of running it?
Loving it, it's tough at times but I wouldn't swap it for anything else. We are launching a new 3B record label too, the first 4 EPs are really nice.
What DJs and artists have you been feeling both as a DJ and also a shop owner then this year? Anyone you'd like to put us onto?
One off the top of my head – Mano Le Tough… he's had a great year, I love his sound.
And finally what else lies in the future for you?
I'm just putting the finishing touches to my next EP which I'm really excited about, lots of amazing gigs and I'm getting married next year.
