When you ask someone about their taste in shoes, you don't expect them to take it quite literally. But hearing Gayle Urgello say she likes shoes that are "good enough to enough to eat," well, that doesn't come as a shocker—what else do you expect from someone who is a serious pâtissier by day and transforms herself into a super stylish It Girl by night?
It should be no shocker, too, then, that accessories designer Mark Tenchavez of Shandar picked her as the second of four muses to inaugurate his shoe line. Before I could have a taste of her baked goods, it was her delish taste in footwear that had drawn me to her. I'd bumped into her a couple of times before, but it wasn't until three years ago, at a mutual friend's "crazy shoe"-themed birthday party, that I knew she way my kind of girl—while everyone else in the guest list stepped into the scene in strappies and gladiator sandals, she kicked it knee-high boots in patchwork suede and velvet, at once giving new meaning to "hot fuzz" and being a throwback to Penelope Tree (or Talitha Getty, if you will). Ever since then I'd become hooked, Facebook-stalking her like a crazy fan, waiting for her to put up the next photo album just so I could see what shoes she had chosen to wear to which occasion. At one point she even had this one album that served as her bucket list at the same time, filled with screenshots of gorgeous shoes that were not hers yet but presumably were going to be hers soon—outlandish-looking wedges from British high street fashion brand River Island, studded ankle boots from Spanish brand Bershka, electric blue Jeffrey Campbell booties, etc.—with hilarious little captions that said, "Hello there! Why are you so beautiful?" And so, you see, she was a natural choice for Mark's team. No one had S-H-O-E-S written all over them like this girl did.
At first I'd wanted to shoot Gayle wearing nothing but laidback jeans, to differentiate her set from those of the other girls to be featured in the same catalog who were going to be wearing designer cocktail pieces, and to contrast Mark's ultra-glam shoes. I'd even wanted to shoot her in her chef's whites and toque blanche. But Mark and the stylist Meyen Baguio had a different agenda—they wanted abbreviated hemlines, Jenny Humphrey-style, to underscore her gams, which, to them, were "her best asset." They also disapproved my chef's uniform idea. I'm glad I followed instructions, because, as it turned out, Gayle indeed had some of the prettiest legs I'd ever seen (the third party guy who does all my retouching would later thank the heavens, saying Gayle's legs required little to no airbrushing), and she had already been photographed in chef gear for a magazine feature a couple of months back. I can't say I wasn't happy with the clothes. Meyen did a great job mixing designer and ready-to-wear pieces, and I loved that she made the bold move of raiding Gayle's own closet and ended up pulling out a delectable little skirt that the designer Barbie Alvez had made for Gayle for Preview's 15th anniversary party. The skirt emphasized Gayle's legs, and went really well with Mark's stunning wedges in regalia patent leather and royal purple/satin sheen gold animal-print textured suede.
We shot on two different occasions, the first at Gayle's parent's house (an "imposing manse," as one society writer had described it) in Maria Luisa, which had a patio that offered the most incredible view of the mountains, the second at the Banilad branch of their café/bakery Cream 'n' Cupz. We meant to do it all in one afternoon, but we couldn't shoot in their kitchen that day—or ever!—because Gayle's boyfriend Gerald, who is Singaporean and is also a pastry chef (they met and fell in love in Sydney, where they took the same classes at Le Cordon Bleu), was hard at work at something. There were two more shoes to shoot, so we had to push back to a different date to give us more time to look for a kitchen to shoot at—yes, although we were skipping the chef's whites idea, we still wanted to feature that side of Gayle, and so a kitchen setting was a must. I'd wanted one that was quaint and homey. It took us weeks scouring the metro for that kind of kitchen, and I was about to give up when Meyen gave me an old Vogue of hers that had this one spread by Norman Jean Roy of Raquel Zimmerman helping out California-based chef Travis Lett in his Abbot Kinney hub, and that's when I realized that a modern kitchen with stainless steel surfaces wasn't a bad idea after all! Luckily this was the exactly the kind of kitchen that Gayle had at Cream 'n' Cupz, and so we had to look no further! It got me pumped thinking about the setup—it's always nice when you get to shoot someone in their workspace, their "habitat," kind of like how Hedi Slimane does it, visiting his favorite installation artists' studios and taking pictures of them at work.
OK, I will come clean and say that another reason I was psyched we were doing it at her café's kitchen was the prospect of getting free samplings of her delightful cupcakes. I hadn't had red velvets since West Village's world-famous Magnolia Bakery almost two years ago, and I'd heard Gayle's babies were quite the treat, and so I figured it was about time for a sweet little relapse. And, boy, did I relapse! At least now I know I don't need to wait for my next trip to the Big Apple to enjoy that one sinful bite! (I must not forget to Gayle's wait staff: Thanks, you guys, feeding us—and for being so patient with us and helping out with the props, too!—and I hope we lived up to our promise of having minimal impact to your BAU!)
Speaking of red velvet cupcakes, these were exactly what Mark had in mind when he was designing the shoes that were going to be named after Gayle. Well, before I knew they were going to be named after her we kind of kept on calling them the "red velvet shoes" (like, "Hi, Meyen! Have you seen the 'red velvet shoes' already? What do they look like?"), so don't be confused—they're one and the same style. Like their namesake cupcakes, they're creamy, full of texture, at once bright and noir, almost sinful to look at, and impossible to resist (well, kind of like their namesake muse, too, if you come to think of it): peep-toe wedges in lava/Falu red textured suede with coquelicot patent leather straps. She wanted something that was good enough to eat—well, that was exactly what she got! Needless to say, they were my favorite pair. I think it annoyed everyone that it took me two or so hours sprawled on the floor just taking pictures of them. Yes, I get obsessed like that. But, hey, who could blame me? How else were you supposed to photograph something you were head over heels with but to do it quite literally, with your face in the ground?
Another thing I fell head over heels with was working with the makeup artist Jessie Glova. He did the second session, when newcomer Hans Ferrer, who'd done the first, couldn't make it due to scheduling conflicts This was my first time to work with Jessie, despite the fact that I'd known him for years. He just took one look at Gayle, one look at the shoes, one look at the clothes, and then he got to work—I have so much respect for people with this kind of aptitude, because I know very little about makeup, and explaining to a makeup artist what kind of look I want can be a real pain in the backside, and so someone who just gets down to work without needing to be told is just a joy to work with. He also loved to tell jokes. I think it was Christy Turlington who once said that the one thing she loved about the late Kevyn Aucoin was that he was always trying to make people laugh, whereas "most makeup artists try to prevent you from laughing while they work"—well, Jessie had that thing, too, wherein he could get you laughing nonstop and still be really skillful with his hands. The end result was just fabulous. I almost cried when Gayle hopped out of the makeup chair—I'd never seen feline eyes done this beautifully. (PR and marketing whiz and eventologist extraordinaire Jaja Rama would later comment on the behind-the-scenes snapshot that Gayle posted on Instagram that she looked like the English actress Tamsin Egerton, a.k.a. Guinevere in the TV series Camelot.) And as if that magic touch wasn't enough, Jessie asked to tag along for the shoot, despite the fact that he was expecting more clients and was busy laying the groundwork of the new salon that he was about to launch in a little over a month. On set he acted as coach, teaching Gayle how to smile with her eyes, how to give out the right pout, how to twist her hips, etc. We had it all too easy, thanks to him! I don't think we could've done the kitchen countertop set effectively if not for Jessie. I cannot wait to work with him again.

Despite promising strip Planned Parenthood of funding, push to overturn Roe v. Wade and embracing the most extreme anti-immigration policies in the country, Mitt Romney just can't get the conservative base enthusiastic about his candidacy. It's so bad, he's called in Rick Santorum for help.
Santorum is organizing an event at the Republican National Convention later this month to rally the conservative base behind Romney. According to The Hill, Santorum's willing to leverage his conservative credentials in exchange for a prominent speaking role at the convention, though apparently the Romney camp has made no promises Santorum will get such a platform.
The event is scheduled to take place in the afternoon of Wednesday, August 29, the day before Romney officially becomes the Republican Party's presidential nominee. Assuming it moves forward then it would suggest the rough edges between the Romney and Santorum camps have been smoothed out.
But giving Santorum a prime-time speaking slot is a dangerous proposition for the Romney camp. They absolutely need the conservative base to turn out in support of a Romney ticket, but as important are independent voters. Santorum's deep conservative roots will only alienate moderates who, unlike Santorum, believe contraception is acceptable and that the church should not dictate political policy.
As the convention gets closer the pressure on Romney becomes more intense. He's going to have to define himself as a candidate–both to the conservative base and to the larger American electorate. That means taking clear positions and offering policy specifics. Should he accept Santorum's help with the base, then it'll be clear that Romney's strategy will be to run hard to the right and hope Republican voter suppression efforts pay off.

Compensation for Dismissal (Blackstone's Employment Law Library)
Intended to assist the practitioner who is in need of immediate answers both on points of law and procedural matters, this book on compensation for dismissal, gives a practical account of the statutory, and common law remedies available to employees, who have been dismissed. It also points outthe potential liabilities faced by employers. This new edition takes account of changes in the law since 1992, and includes all the latest case law, incorporating the provisions of the Employment Rights Act 1996, as well as the statutory instruments extending the tribunal's jurisdiction to wrongful dismissal claims. Statistics show that the level of tribunal awards are on the increase and, whatever the outcome of the ECJ's decision in "R v Secretary of State", ex parte Seymour Smith and Peres, this trend is likely to continue.

This post by Steve Laube originally appeared on his The Steve Laube Agency blog on 6/13/11.
A common myth permeating the industry is that a book is not profitable if the author's advance does not earn out. I would like to attempt to dispel this myth.
First let's define the term "Advance." When a book contract is created between a publisher and an author, the author is usually paid an advance. This is like getting an advance against your allowance when you were a kid. It isn't an amount that is in addition to any future earnings from the sale of the book. Instead, like that allowance, it is money paid in advance against all future royalties, and it must therefore be covered by royalty revenue (i.e. earned out) before any new royalty earnings are paid.
The advance is usually determined by a series of assumptions that the publisher makes with regard to the projected performance of each title. The publisher hopes/plans that the book will earn enough royalty revenue to cover the advance within the first year of sales.
A NY Times essay a couple years ago casually claimed "the fact that 7 out of 10 titles do not earn back their advance." Of course they did not cite a source for that "fact." But I have seen it quoted so often is must be true! (and it isn't.) The implication then is that a book isn't profitable if it doesn't earn out its advance. The publisher overpaid and has lost money. The author is the happy camper who is counting their cash gleefully celebrating the failure of their publisher to project sales correctly.

Did you know that churches and other places of worship are NOT usually looked at as allies by domestic violence shelters? Did you know that the rate of domestic violence is the same in the church as it is outside of the church? Did you know that more than 1/4th of all women will be victims of domestic violence in her lifetime?
If this sounds extreme to you, I don't blame you. It would have sounded preposterous to me before 2007, as well. In 2007, I counseled Stacy Peterson (a church-goer) for the last time, and about 2 months later, she disappeared, and she's never been found. Her husband, Drew Peterson (also, a church-goer) is the only suspect in her disappearance, and was convicted in 2012 for killing his previous wife, Kathleen Savio.
I know today that churches are not typically great allies for victims of abuse, and I have to keep talking about it until that changes. That's why I'm so excited to share this with you…
On October 1st, in recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and in memory of Stacy Peterson, and Kathleen Savio, I will be part of launching an initiative to start changing the church culture. The initiative is called "The Safe Faith Community Project," and through it, we will be helping churches become allies of victims and of shelters around the country.
If you are a pastor or church leader, and would like to find out more about this, send me a message. Let victims know that you will stand with them.
Until then, please like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.

For those who aren't familiar with the concept of State Zero, this means getting rid of all of your Esri versions, compressing the geodatabase to move your edits from the Add & Delete tables to the base tables, and then most often un-versioning your geodatabase which completely removes the Add & Delete tables. See how SSP All Edits State Zero (currently rebranded to SSP Replay).
Curious about how SSP Replay works? View the full SSP Replay product overview here. If you want to see SSP Replay in action, see how the SSP tool helped MTEMC perform critical geodatabase maintenance while at State Zero.
Hi I'm Skye Perry with SSP Innovations. I'm here to talk a little bit more advanced use of SSP All Edits technology. We got another great video sort of explaining the basics of All Edits. We are going to talk a little bit on how we've expanded on the usages into a product that we call SSP All Edits State Zero.
This is really evolved out of geodatabases that have a lot of versions. This is more about processing all those versions at once and getting to State Zero as opposed to doing individual versions as we talked about in the core SSP All Edits product. The key part here in the versions is that you might have 30 of these. We have other clients (we are working with one right now) that has 8,000 of these. Perhaps you need to keep a wide variety of these versions that are related to various other processes in the organization. Whatever the case might be, our first step is to implement the All Edits product, again check out the other video for details there. Key point here is that it creates these All Edits tables and feature classes that do exist in your database.
As a reminder, you these are not related to the rest of your business data: land, electric, gas, water, telecom. This is a separate standalone that sits out here by itself. SSP All Edits State Zero uses automation along with the SSP All Edits product to extract these versions out into these feature classes (all in one fell swoop). There are plenty of error handling if there are any issues there. The key is to take all the data from the versions and place it into our format of the All Edits tables and feature classes. Now this is a little bit scary, and I realize that when I talk about it, but our next step in the process is usually to come in and fully delete all those versions within the geodatabase. Where they can fire a compress, which fully takes this geodatabase to State Zero. Now State Zero is kind of a holy grail for many years, and we couldn't get to it because of all these versions combined with a geometric network requirements within the utility and telecom space. First, solving the problem of extraction to get to State Zero was of utmost importance.
Why do we need to get to State Zero? That's probably your next question, if you don't already have your own reason. I've listed out some of the common reasons here on the right. Examples of changes requiring State Zero. This is not a comprehensive list, but this will give you some good ideas. A lot of relating to networks in our case. Adding a new populated feature class into your network. Maybe you are adding new alternative energy points or solar points that already has data in it. To do that, we need to get to State Zero to add that in the network. Other example changes include: removing weights from the network, removing feature classes from the network, and various topology items. Topology is more used if you think about parcel editing (parcels with topology with the neighboring parcels).
There are other couple of interesting examples during the time of working with customers and at one point, a partner. The first one was a challenging one: re-projection of the data. We had a client that still had data in NAD 27. They wanted to move to NAD 83. So, that their data will better align with Esri ArcGIS online. It must be in State Zero to do that. It will not handle versions. They got 8,000 versions or maybe 30. You got to take care of this, and do it in a sequence. The next and more recent case is conflation. We have a partner, Ramtech. They are good friends of ours. They are the conflation experts. We partnered with them because they said "we really need to be at State Zero for these large geodatabases to inform conflation." Again, rectifying all your database with many points on the earth. So, each of our challenge is to get them to this point. In either case, here back on this side, we've gotten to back to State Zero which allows you to do your State Zero activities. Whatever those activities are, you will then go about and doing them. As we've noted here, you might have other reasons around data migration, model changes, you name it. There's about 50 or 100 other uses that we've found here. So, you make those changes to your core geodatabase at State Zero - drop it in the network or you can re-create in the network.
The next piece of the SSP All Edits State Zero is to take the data back from the All Edits tables and feature classes and to take that data and re-create the versions as they've existed before. The second process is to extracts data out of those versions and replay right back into the versions as they have existed before. Thus, re-creating those versions. They will have the same name, we handle that via backend. We handle all the synchronizations. As an example, Schneider Electric designer users have XML files that have pointers to all those records. We are re-creating that data from scratch and we re-synchronize all the XML. So that your users come back, and they do not realize anything has changed. We can take the case here where we did the re-projection of all the data, took it to State Zero, re-projected the data, and re-created the versions. The users come back in the following Monday. They won't know anything that has changed. That's what we want to hear from our users in our system (seamless transition).
The final piece to talk about here is how do we do these two things, and what is different between this and All Edits (the product). The key point here is to both process and extract these versions to the tables. Following up with a re-creation from the tables is based on the SSP Nightly Batch Suite as we abbreviate it to NBS extension for All Edits. We have Batch Applications to do this along with reporting, tracking, and allows us to do this in a repeatable fashion. With this pattern, we solved the All Edits State Zero problem to allow you to do any of these operations or many others without having to lose that versioned data that you've worked so hard to capture over time.
Thanks for your time, hope this proves to be an inspiration to get you to State Zero.

The Santa Fe Art Institute
For more than 30 years, the Santa Fe Art Institute has been serving as a national and international non-profit residency for artists of all disciplines. With a variety of resources and studio space, the Institute houses up to 12 artists from around the world at a single time, totaling 60 to 80 artists per year occupying a space designed to interact and stimulate creative thinking among peers. Franco Andres, a Santa Fe University of Art and Design alumnus, interned at SFAI and is now the manager of volunteer and internship programs. "We provide the artists with facilities, staff, and space. It's a reciprocal relationship," Andres says. "But it's definitely focused on the artist."
Not only do the staff and residents work together to create stunning exhibits and displays, but SFAI offers a multitude of opportunities for current students at SFUAD to get involved and gain both invaluable experience and a space to further their own creative process.
What sets the program apart from other artist residencies is the use of rotating themes. "Artists approach the theme as they see fit," Andres says. With a variety of skills from architecture, studio arts, film and even writing, the residents interpret the theme in ways that are inspired by their skills and cultural differences.
SFAI's current theme is Immigration/Emigration. Emma Fitzgerald is an artist with Irish parents, who was born in Africa and then moved to Canada. With a background in architecture, Fitzgerald has only been in Santa Fe for a week, and with barely enough time to adjust to the climate, already has a firm grasp of what she wants to explore in her time at SFAI. "Art is a way of storytelling," Fitzgerald says. "There are a lot of stories that immigrants bring. I came to Canada as an immigrant and I know that [in the United States, immigration] is a much more charged issue."
Another Canadian resident currently staying at SFAI, Tings Chak, also has a background in architecture. "It'll be fun to be here with someone with similar but different experience, and in a totally different environment," Chak says. Chak intends to work on a collaborative project with another Canadian artist joining her next month. "We work around issues of justice," she says. "So when the theme [of Immigration/Emigration] came up, it was a natural fit."
Artists like Chak and Fitzgerald are only few of the many that stay at SFAI. With 12 private, furnished rooms that include their own outdoor spaces, and a communal kitchen and library open 24 hours, residents can drift between isolated thinking spaces and an open, insightful peer community. "This is not an exclusive space," Andres says. "We want to help people on every level achieve their artistic goals."
Students at SFUAD are welcome not only in terms of internship opportunities but as a place to mingle with professional artists, participate in exhibitions, film projects and events or even to sit in the soundproof courtyard and dream up ideas. "You hear how difficult it is to end up with a career in the arts because it is structured differently than other careers," Andres says. "It is our goal for students to see that is is possible and that it happens all the time."
From SFAI 140, an event in which artists and professionals have 140 seconds to give inspirational talks, to pop up shows and interactive galleries, such as Gregory Waits' event held in Lumpkins studio where artists used water balloons to breach an imaginary border, the Santa Fe Art Institute welcomes ideas, galleries and projects from residents and SFUAD students alike.
SFAI 140 will be 7 to 9 p.m. on March 23. Film students, be on the lookout for collaborative project opportunities for next year's theme, Water Rights, where SFAI will be holding an open call for developing a thematically relevant film series.

Last week Amy Wallace, wrote a comprehensive story for Wired Magazine about the dangers of not vaccinating and the damage caused by the anti-vaccine movement called "Epidemic of Fear".
In an extensive interview with Dr Paul Offit, known as Dr (Pr)Offit by the antivaxers, he discussed his role in developing the Rotateq vaccine for rotavirus and the resulting intimidation and threats he has received from the anti-vax movement.
On Amy's Twitter stream a few days after the story, she reported Wired had not received this much feedback in memory; "I have never gotten so much feedback on a story. I've been a journalist for more than 25 years….Never have I experienced such an avalanche of letters and emails", she wrote.
One of the first to respond to Amy's story was J.B. Handley, the founder of Generation Rescue, an anti-vaccine group and website, famously supported by Jenny McCarthy. Amy described the correspondence entitled; "Paul Offit Rapes (intellectually) Amy Wallace and Wired Magazine" as suggesting that Offit must have slipped her a date rape drug. Amy recounts; "The roofie cocktails at Paul Offit's house must be damn good," he wrote.
The Australian response was also disapproving, one writer on the anti-vaccine Yahoo group questioning Amy's credentials to write a story about vaccination. They accused Amy of being nothing but an entertainment journalist, whilst ironically, the President of the anti-vax lobby in Australia is proud to declare she has absolutely no formal qualifications, citing a "brain" and "20 years of reading this stuff" as sufficient.
But aside from these abusive and deeply offensive emails, Amy describes "the 249 people who have written me from Spain, the U.K., France, Slovenia, the Netherlands and all over the U.S., 188 of them said they were grateful to Wired…..only 55 of the people who wrote said they disagreed with the piece."
You can read Amy's full account of the responses to her article Part 1 here and Part 2 here.
The story has also been covered by the well known Autism blog, Leftbrain/Rightbrain.
For up to the minute updates, you can follow Amy on Twitter.

My friend Shelly posted this article on Facebook, America's 25 Most Hated Foods. Of course I had to check it out. I like 22 out of the 25 hated foods. It's obvious that this girl likes to eat.
Topping the hated list is Mayo. Why?!? I love Hellmann's mayonnaise. I'm not a fan of Miracle Whip (it's too sweet), but Hellmann's real mayo is awesome. It's great in all kinds of yummy dishes, and it's perfect for dipping french fries.
Next is Eggplant. How is that possible? Eggplant Parmesan is so yummy, and grilling it is another scrumptious option.
#3 – Avocado. Come on people. Avocados are hated because they look spoiled? I could see if they smelled spoiled. Homemade guacamole is the best. Not to mention, avocados make yummy spreads for sandwiches.
#4 – Tofu. Well, I could see this on a hated list. I've never cooked with it, but I've had it in yummy soups and chili's. So good.
#5 – Anchovies. Not a fan. This is one of those foods I've never grown to like. I try it every once in awhile to see if my tastes have changed, but anchovies are not good (period).
#6 – Spinach. Spinach? What the hell. Spinach is awesome. Loaded with vitamins. I use spinach in soups, eggs, pizza, salads, and even sandwiches. Love spinach.
#7 – Turnips. These are great mashed, roasted, in soups. Very good.
#8 – Black Licorice. Not a fan. That's all I have to say about that.
#9 – Tuna Fish. I can't eat it out of the can, but I love it when I dress it up in a salad wrapped in a pita.
#10 – Onions. Onions are the spice to life. I think people are closet onion lovers. They just can't handle the bad breath. – Eat a mint. I can eat a raw onion like an apple.
#11 – Buttermilk. I can't drink it out of the carton, but mixing it for yummy salad dressings, mashed potatoes, and pancakes makes this a feel good food.
#12 – Raisins. These are great in salads and muffins.
#13 – Oysters. I'll grant you that they are not the prettiest thing, but add some good-chilled vodka, and you'll forget oysters are slimy. I also make a mean Oysters Rockefeller.
#14 – Green Peas. I do like my veges, and peas are oh so good.
#15 – Sour Cream. Sour cream makes for yummy dips. Always have it in my refrigerator.
#16 – Cottage Cheese. Love cottage cheese. Add some fruit and it's a great healthy dessert.
#17 – Broccoli. How can anyone say they don't like broccoli. Another great source for vitamins. It's great in eggs, or just steamed with some sea salt. Yum!
#18 – Spam. The poor-man's meat. It's not healthy for sure. And, did you ever read the ingredients? However, I love it fried with eggs.
#19 – Brussel Sprouts. Glazed with butter in a skillet, these bad boys are awesome!
#20 – Beets. It's not my favorite thing in the world, but a few slices in a salad are not so bad.
#21 – Okra. I've never had okra, but this article is going to make me find a good recipe to try.
#22 – Eggs. I eat at least one egg a day. I always have hard-boiled eggs in my refrigerator for those grab and go kind of mornings. Eggs are awesome.
#23 – Mushrooms. I can understand the texture thing. Not to mention, it's fungus; not a pretty name to be associated too. Nonetheless, I love cooking with mushrooms, and all kinds of mushrooms. Stuffed portabella is my favorite.
#24 – Lima Beans. Heart Lima bean soup. I even cut up a raw onion to eat with it.
#25 – Liver. Another food that I can understand the dislike. Liver is a difficult thing to cook. It's rare that I like it, but my sister makes an awesome liver and onions. That's about the only time I'll eat it.
As you can see, I like 95% of the hated foods. I will try the okra someday soon – just to see if I agree. You can click on the food links for cool recipes.

Lost 1-0 to Janis89 in 1st game - WHAT A GAME!
I lost Godin to a red card after 4 min so the game was really over by then (Joke of a decision - I was trying to clear it and the muppet did a slide tackle instead!)
Anyway - pen ensued and I saved it - straight down the middle!
Mental 1st half after that with chances to both sides and mainly Janis
2nd half the same with Janis hitting woodwork twice but I had a couple of golden one one ones
A 1-0 loss with 10 men from 4 minutes - but in some respects I felt robbed!
Great game mate
2nd game - Janis scores a stormer after 8 mins, then another 10 mins later - but I get a consolation before HT!
And then I scored!...................
But NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
he fecking clears it literally of the line - would like to see the goaline decision system for that!
Rest of the half was a bit boring and ended up a 2-1 win to Janis
Jani's tactics of just booting a through pass down the wing then trying to cross got a bit yawnsome I must admit
OK - that's all my games done
Thoroughly enjoyed!
Probably one of the worst players here and had the worse team which didn't help but a few of the lads here I don't think I'm far away from - only the odd goal in it and if I start to play more (which I intend to) I hope to give you better games next time around!
Well done for "organising" Coys
TBH its pretty hard to motivate yourself to play a game you consider dead now, but I will complete my games.
Great write up Redknapp and great games
Alright Ste good man. I can play tonight let me know if and when you can get on.
I completed my games almost 3 months ago. I work full time and don't log on my PS4 anywhere near as much as i used to. Really are no excuses.
I see people viewing this thread and they can't even be bothered to say when they are available.
You are blaming me not updating the fixtures as the reason games aren't being played? when i was updating the table it made no difference after me and Felix finished our games.
I can't actually believe you are having a few digs at me Redders tbh. This is the same story for the last 3 leagues we have done.
That is why i have lost interest. People signing up and then showing no commitment.
6 games got played in a months time period after a full table and fixtures update. Just to give you something to think about.
Easy to wind up mate - it's like CML Harry Kane all over again
You run it mate.
Happily - literally seems like you pick 8 teams and that's it!
Can understand the frustrations over time taken though. I've updated my availability or not throughout this thread and when comms get together between a couple of people it 'should' be easy to complete games like I did yesterday
But everyone has different things going on in their lives which is something I wouldn't comment on
Ste - Should be available at various times throughout this week. Couldn't catch you last week as I was on holiday.
So you'll reply to me if I message you on PSN?

Might aswell start a new one. This one will not finish until fifa18..
What makes you think certain people would complete a new one when they have failed to do so in this even though it's been well over three months?
I say if I am going to participate in another, we either ban people that haven't shown any interest at all in completing their games, or punish them with a shit team like Bristol Rovers.
Waste of time.

Review of "snapfish.co.uk"
"Happy Snapper!"
Hi all - I know its been a while since I've written a review but the baby takes up loads of my time these days!!Anyway, I've found this website which I love and had to tell you about it!! Its www.snapfish.co.uk.
With the new baby I've never used the digital camera so much in my life! Every smile, frown, new movement I'm there with my camera! Poor thing its like the paparazzi for her with all the camera flashes! The problem with a gorgeous baby and an overenthusiastic happy snapping mummy is how much it will cost to print all the pictures off!! Also with a christening coming up shortly and a wedding next year, I knew that to print off all the ones I wanted it would cost a fortune to get them printed off in town. Although its nice to have all the photos on the computer, its nice to have them printed off to put in albums and give to people as printed photos last forever but computers don't do they!On another website that I regularly chat on, someone mentioned snapfish.co.uk - if they recommended me they would get 20 free photos. I would also get 10 free photos just for joining. I thought to myself it was worth having a go, even if only for the 10 free photos!
My initial view of the website was that I was impressed - bold bright colours which makes it look cheerful, easy tabs to click on which makes the site easy to navigate around and the fact it is a service of HP which I know is a reputable company as well.Signing up was easy, you just enter your email address, a password you'd like to use and your first name/surname. Then you are redirected to the home page where you can upload your photos. A nice feature of the site is that you can share the photos with friends/family etc as you can click on 'share' and you will be redirected to a page where you can email people with the link. You can select whether you would like them to have full access (they can copy the photos to their account and share with others) or restricted access (they can only view and order prints of the photos). You can select the gift prints option where you pay for the prints for them.
It is easy to log in each time, you just enter your email address and password which redirects you to their home page which has all the information on it.Snapfish has an online shop where you can purchase items with your photos on - calendars, memory books, jigsaw puzzles, mugs, clothing, posters, mousemats, cards, coasters, placemats and prints. You can also select a prepaid option where you buy a package of prints (which don't expire and you can use as few or as many of your quota at one time) so that it works out cheaper ie 8p or 9p a print instead of 10p a print. The saving is dependent on what package you purchase. I will definitely be using the prepaid option before the christening and wedding as I know I will have a lot of photos. However, I still think 10p a print is cheap compared to having them printed off in town which costs about 3 times as much in some kiosks. Also, the online shop currently has a 15% off Christmas offer which is worth a look.
Another advantage of Snapfish is that they are really quick in posting the prints to you. Many people I know have had their prints delivered the next day or day after. I ordered my first lot on a Friday and they were on my doormat by the Monday morning which was great.On the home page you can easily access your account - it lists information about your credits (free photos etc), order history and address book. Its really handy to know where you are.
To actually purchase your photos is easy - you select which photos you wish to print off via little tick boxes. You then continue to a page where you can select which size photo you wish to have - the options are 6x4, 7x5, 10x8 and wallet size, and poster print sizes of 15x10, 18x22 and 30x20 (all figures in inches). Prices vary for each size but are very reasonable. It is 8-10p for your 6x4 prints which are the standard photo size. If you need to go off and do other things on the site it is easy to get in and out of the shopping cart, which is displayed as a large shopping trolley on the right hand side of the page.You can also order hi-resolution photos which is not a print but a picture that is really good to use as a screensaver, website picture etc.
A feature that I like when choosing the photos to print is that there is a 'fix photo' option - this is like your photo editing package where you can reduce red eye, fill flash, rotate, correct etc. Nice if you don't have this kind of software already on your computer!The postage cost is 99p - I think that it is reasonable especially if you are having a lot of prints done.
To sum up the main advantages of this website is that it is easy to use, has loads of features, pictures are cheap to order and delivery is fast.The main disadvantages is that it is not instant like going to a kiosk to print so have to wait at least a day for the photos, and the 99p delivery charge would be a lot if you only wanted 1 or 2 photos so best to use the site if you have a number to print off.
I would recommend this website to all digital camera users, Im definitely hooked now and will use it a lot.Sarah
PS if you want to use the site let me know so I can recommend you and get my free photos!!!!

Lynsey Addario's memoir of her life as a war photographer, It's What I Do: A Photographer's Life Of Love And War, opens in Libya in March of 2011. At the time, Addario, photographer Tyler Hicks, journalists Anthony Shadid and Stephen Farrell, and their driver, Mohammed, were working near Ajdabiya, interviewing and photographing rebels. As they tried to return to safety, they were stopped by Colonel Muammar Gaddafi's soldiers at a hostile checkpoint. Mohammed was killed and the four journalists were taken hostage. This scene ends with Addario raising questions that will guide the rest of the book: "Why do you do this work? Why do you risk your life for a photograph?"
After posing the question, It's What I Do jumps back in time to Addario's childhood in Connecticut, moving forward through college and her early experiences as an international photographer. For Addario, the hobby of photography eventually became a way for her to see the world while doing work she found valuable and fulfilling.
Her career has taken her around the world, photographing the Taliban in Afghanistan, the U.S. invasion of Iraq, rape victims in the Congo, and starving children in Somalia. During this time, Addario was part of a Pulitzer-Prize winning team at the New York Times and was awarded a MacArthur Genius Grant. Throughout, she also shares the challenges her career caused for her relationships and the many treacherous situations she found herself in while in pursuit of a great photo.
Sometimes a book reaches you at a moment where it's particularly resonant. In this case, Addario's anxiety about how a relationship, pregnancy and motherhood might affect her career struck a particular chord with me. While few jobs are as physically dangerous and demanding as war photography, her concern that taking time off for family will affect how her fellow journalists and her editors see her – and which assignments she will get – is something I think all women who value their careers must wonder (I know that I do). The fact that she is able to make these varied choices work, thanks to her good work, supportive colleagues, and dedicated partner, was encouraging and affirming to read. I'm grateful Addario was so frank in sharing these parts of her journey.
While I don't normally gush about the format of a book, I have to point out the beautiful construction of this one. It's printed on beautiful, glossy paper and Addario's full color photographs are scattered throughout the piece. It was so beautifully done that I couldn't help wishing there had been a few more photos (and a little more detail about what each one was – some of the captions are sparse). If you're going to read this, the hardcover will be worth it so you can see the pictures in detail.
Overall, It's What I Do is a truly excellent memoir. While the pacing is occasionally slow, the moments where Addario digs deep into her most vulnerable experiences – being embedded with a battalion in the most dangerous region of Afghanistan, her kidnapping in Libya – are page-turning, emotionally resonant stories. I highly recommend this memoir.

So...now I have a case I can't use, and no case for the beautiful letterpress cards I had made. I need your help finding a SQUARE case of some sort about 3x3 and flat if possible. I thought perhaps a nice "compact mirror" case or something but have yet to find something that would work. I am considering selling my Kate Spade one since I have zero use for it. Is eBay the best way to do that?

Please head over to Kabbage.com where they've posted a pretty lengthy interview with me regarding the pitfalls of growth. Once again, hat's off to Ben Gran for his talent at getting to the really interesting core of growth issues facing many companies today. Things like:
- How much equity should you give up in funding rounds?
- Can growth come at the expense of losses in current markets?
- How do founders keep from losing their roots as a company grows?
- Do you need to worry about key employees burning out and leaving?
- What if the owner has lost their passion?
- Are there options to exit?
If you want a sample, here's a quote from the interview regarding a common issue with growth:
A lot of companies don't pay attention to their ability to scale their business BEFORE they invest in growth, new products, and new markets. With every new vertical or product you launch, you are committing to new feature developments, product specialists, industry gurus, and everything else that you need to invest in to make that new launch a success. You are pursuing the extension of your brand in ways that could push your team to the limits. A team of five support people focused on a single industry might be able to triple the number of clients they can serve together. But you might need to hire five more support staff just to launch into the new industry because of the different skill sets you need.

Thank You For Stopping By My Travel Photography Blog
For as long as I can remember I've wanted to see the world. To experience the exotic cultures, cuisine, clothing and customs. To feel the breeze of a foreign wind, to hear the sound of a remote river, to sense the calmness of night reflecting in a still pond. These are the memories I want to have when I've grown too old to lace up my boots and go. These are the photographs I hope to capture and share with you from my travels. #DiscoverThePhoto
Adventures in Ducking the Tripod Police
Kiyomizu-dera Spring Lighting Event
I began making my way to the Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto Japan around 5:15 for a sunset and blue hour shoot. Sunset was a little past 7:00 and tonight was a special spring lighting event that required an event ticket to enter the temple. As I made my way up the steep narrow street (everything worthwhile in japan is at the top of a hill) I realized there was a line of people down the left side of the road. This can't be for the event I thought, I was still a 10 minute walk away. As I continued up the street, I realized, this was for the event, and I began to get excited. I wasn't sure what to expect and apparently this is a big deal.
Thankfully, I was with a group of photographers and we had asked our local guide to hop in line a few hours prior. I made my way up the street and met up with our guide Yumi, who was holding down 6th place! Good thing I thought, this is a big to-do and I was told it might be difficult to secure a spot on the overlook in order to get "the shot". All seemed to be going well with only 5 minutes until they opened the gates to the ticket counter when I was informed by our group that you had to be in line to purchase a ticket. Panic struck, and I began to lose hope that I would get this shot. As the group discussed our options (or lack of) the gate opened, and chaos ensued. I looked around and realized that there was no one was really keeping track of anyone, so myself and a few others in our group slipped into line and flowed into the temple with Yumi and hundreds of others. Yumi dashed to the counter and pointed to us as she purchased tickets, we waived and moments later were handed our entrance passes.
The race began! Once past the ticket checker I fell into a brisk walk.. then a slow jog… then as fast I could go without making the temple security concerned there was something wrong with me.
Through the lower temple buildings, up more stairs, past the main hall and finally to the overlook where I would be capturing my picture. First to arrive at the railing I quickly surveyed the composition left, then right, and finally settled on the spot I would stake out. I dropped my bag between my legs, and was soon engulfed by the crowd of on-lookers and photographers who finally caught up to me to capture the beautiful sunset.
I was told they did not allow tripod use in the temple on my way in, so I was thankful that the crowd was 4 people deep from the railing, essentially blocking me from anyone who cared. It was at this point that I heard the first security announcement, first in Japanese, then in English. "No tripods allowed, please keep moving". I glanced over my shoulder to see the megaphone wielding security detail, careful not to make eye contact. Their job was to make sure there was adequate space for people to walk on the overlook, and to end all tripod use.
I carefully attached my Nikon D750 to my tripod and extended one of the legs, while resting the other 2 on the railing in front of me. This minimized my footprint and I was able to stand over everything, blocking the view from the tripod police. "No tripods allowed, please keep moving" She was right behind me, only 8 feet or so from where I was parked. The sun was starting to set, I checked my settings over, finalized the shot, and began to take my bracketed exposures. 60 minutes to go…
I soon found a not-so-comfortable crouching position that kept me completely out of site from the temple authorities while also protecting my tripod from the ever rotating on-lookers seeking a sunset selfie. The repeated "No tripods allowed, please keep moving" began to worry me less and the first 40 minutes went by without a hitch. Soon however the sun set taking with it the throng of on-lookers and their iPhones. Suddenly I found myself vulnerable to the ever watching tripod police as the crowd thinned out.
"No tripods allowed, please keep moving" Thats it, I had a good run, but my discovery is inevitable. I'll just keep gazing past my camera, and hope for the best. "Sir, no tripods allowed" I soon heard, spoken very close, and without a megaphone. I'll just pretend I didn't hear anything. I felt a tap on my shoulder, followed by "excuse me sir". I turned and was face to face with the authorities. Shows over. "Hi!" I smiled and pretended to have no idea why she was talking to me. "Sir you can't use a tripod here" she replied. "Oh this? Oh no big deal, its tiny, no problems, I was just taking some pictures. I'll just finish up and thank you so much. I grinned and did my best to look innocent and clueless, hoping for a break. We both locked smiles for what seemed to be an eternity, knowing whoever spoke first would lose this courteous standoff. I was hoping she would let me continue, and I can assume she was hoping I would pack up my tripod. "…Ok, please try to finish up soon" she replied and with a smile she turned and left.
With the free pass from the authorities I captured the remaining 15 minutes of blue hour. I packed up my things, gave a thankful smile and nod to Mrs. Megaphone and made my way to the temple exit to head back to my hotel for the night.

Private Property? No Problem. How to Gain Access with Open Arms.
As a former marketing executive, I do know a few things on how to speak to people.
Here is my method to gaining access to photograph private property.
I live in New England. And although we have miles of beautiful coastline and tons of historical buildings to be found, I like to find "off the beaten path" photo ops. Locations I feel I've discovered or earned. Driving around in search of these, I often find fields, farms, remote houses, abandoned buildings, ponds etc.. which would be great to shoot under the right conditions. However all too often, these locations are on private property. Although legally I could shoot them from the street, that isn't usually the best option for the shot, and its also kinda creepy.
So, I came up with a simple, very effective and affordable method to win over these private property protectors, gaining you free roam access to their land, usually as often as you'd like.
Heres what I do. I write them a letter, and I send them a gift.
First lets cover the letter. Coming from a marketing background, I know a thing or two about getting peoples attention, holding it, and selling them on the product or idea that I'm pitching. In this case I want their permission to roam freely and photograph their property at will. So the letter is carefully broken up into the following sections.
1. Introduction
This short paragraph introduces who you are, what you do and needs to paint a picture that you're a good person. Not some creep that wants to snap pictures through their windows. I usually start the letter with "Dear Neighbor", calming their fears that I'm not a stranger, I live near them! I also mention where I live (The road not the actual address. They could be crazy!) And I also usually mention passing by their "field" or "barn" etc.. and how beautiful it looks at sunset. Now we are talking about them, and everyone likes when they are being talked about.
I also include a headshot of me behind a camera, smiling. Show them who you are, it helps them to understand who is speaking to them. (Unless you're really scary looking, then omit headshot
2. Request
Now I get right into it. I start this with a very non-direct request to photograph their property. Something like "I was wondering if you would mind if I photographed your beautiful barn…" I then add another line to make it about them again, this time really raising the complement. "Although I travel the globe and photograph famous landscapes and buildings, I would really like to add your barn to my portfolio…". I then close the paragraph with the type of shot I would be looking for, setting the stage so they understand they can't just call me and schedule a day and time for me to stop by, and that the shot must be on my terms under the right weather conditions. Something like "I specifically would love to get a foggy morning with interesting clouds. It may happen tomorrow, but it could take months. Thankfully I'm only a few minutes away". Now they understand it can't be scheduled and could happen any day.
3. Respecting their privacy.
This short paragraph addresses why I didn't just stop by and ask, and shows that I respect their privacy. "I would have stopped by in person, but in this day and age that is not always welcome…nor did I want to pressure you face to face" It's short, but shows you understand they have private property for a reason.
4. Addressing their concerns.
Before giving them reasons to say no, I come right out and address the concerns I know they would have. It includes lines like "I would park in the street" "I would not disturb or move anything" "I would give you a heads up before coming by" "I won't steal your dog" and finally "I would provide you with a framed picture if you wish" After listing and addressing any concerns they have, and throwing in a picture for them to hang on the wall from a professional photographer of their property, why wouldn't they say yes?
I then give them my contact information, with numerous ways to get in touch. Including Cell, Home Phone, Email, Website and Smoke Signal. (You can't lose with humor)
5. Close
And the icing on the cake, I mail them a disposable camera. These can be purchased in bulk for around $6-$7 each and mailed for around $3 in a box with your letter. Everyone loves to get a box in the mail, so you know they will open it, unlike a simple envelope. In closing I add a paragraph on why I mailed them the camera. "Please accept this disposable camera as my thanks for your consideration. With digital cameras so popular, it isn't often the art of simple old fashioned photography is enjoyed. Use it for a gathering, document a trip, or I'm sure you can find some beautiful pictures around your property." If you really want to get nuts, you could throw in a gift card to CVS to cover the cost of the prints, probably $5 or less I would imagine.
This method has been very effective for me and I have a number of great places to shoot this spring and summer. It is simple, inexpensive and you'd be surprised on how many people call you up. Some of you may wonder, why not just drop it off in their mailbox? That is in-fact against the law, and why start a relationship off the wrong way. I hope this method of reaching out to people helps you gain access to new places and better pictures you may have never been able to take.

Tee-shirts and Traffic
I awoke to an overcast sky this morning, ending my chance to get one more beautiful sunrise in Grand Cayman. I had one sunset left while here and thankfully had covered the locations I wanted to photograph during our stay, so the last sunset of my trip was open to spots that didn't make the cut previously. I had one in mind, though it was 30 minutes from where we were staying. The family wanted to do some touristy shopping so we headed into George Town (a 45 minute ride).
I told everyone AIS (ass in seat) at 4:45 which would give me enough time to drop them off and get to the sunset. However, I did not account for traffic! It took 30 minutes longer than I anticipated to get back and I was giving up hope that I would get in one more shoot before leaving. We passed this spot only 10 minutes from our villa. I kicked everyone out of the rental, sped back and setup in just enough time to catch the last rays of sunlight. Even while shooting I didn't think much of the shot. Probably because I was rushing, and felt unprepared.
I framed it quickly and first focused on waves crashing, knowing I was losing light. I snapped every good crash I could. Once the light was gone, I switched to 5 bracketed exposures and focused on the rest of the shot.
See the final photograph here You never know. #DiscoverthPhoto
Steps at Barefoot Beach
Prior to heading to Grand Cayman for a family vaca, I did some research to find some off the beaten path places to get some good photos. The Caymans, though beautiful, do not have many well known places for portfolio quality photos, so I dug deep on google. I found a post from someone (can't remember, sorry for lacking the credits) who described a set of stone steps leading to a stone wall to the left of Barefoot Beach where you could get a nice sweeping picture of the beach. Lucky for me, Barefoot was only a 15 minute ride from the house I was staying in. After finding Barefoot on Google maps (many beaches in Grand Cayman are very tiny, and if you don't know they exists, you would drive right by) I headed off to scout the location Found the path to the beach pretty easily, however realized that unless it is dead low tide, you could not safely walk to the steps. So we (I was with my brother) headed back to the road and tried to find a way to the cliffside.
A few hundred yards down the road we hopped a fence and made our way through the thick vegetation. Minutes later we discovered an abandoned walkway that wrapped around the cliffside, for probably 1/4 mile. I later learned the construction of a large resort was canceled after hurricane Ivan swept through, and all that remained was the stone path. After hopping the wall I found a good vantage point to capture the sunrise hitting the cliffside next to the steps. It would take 3 mornings to get the light I was looking for, however I was very happy with the result. It was an amazing experience sitting alone on that cliff listening to the waves and watching the sun rise. The shot I got was a bonus.
Will be posting the final soon!

After reading the book description for Forgiving our Fathers and Mothers by Leslie Leyland Field, I was hoping I would be enlightened or mentally stimulated. Unfortunately that was not the case.
As an avid book reader I do not believe in starting a book and not completing it. However; I was unable to read this book in it's entirety. After reading the first couple of pages I knew something was missing. I could not pin point what it was, so I continued to read with hopes that the book would pick up or tell me something I did not already know.
The stories in the book where descent examples of what Fields had experienced herself. I am dismissing her experiences but, did not agree with her thoughts and theories. I did not find that everything she stated was Word based.
It is unfortunate that many parents and children have to mend their relationships. I thought this book would offer some answers or solutions for the readers but, I found that I was not receiving a message that was moving or something I did not already know. I do not consider myself to be a know it all but, I do know that while reading this book I was not receiving a powerful message. I took very little from what I read.
After struggling through the first couple of chapters and reminding myself that I always finish reading a book, I could not do it.
Forgiving Our Fathers and Mothers was not the book for me but, may be for someone else.
Disclosure:Product/compensation was received in exchange for review.
Don't be afraid to be free!!!

The ssfa_if.zip file you have requested: Skins / Armor / Sith Special Forces Armor - 602.01kb is not available. Perhaps try browsing all files for the game Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic and upload any files you want to share or are missing. This is the only information we could locate:
Inyri Forge is on a roll. She continues to send us her brilliant mods that she works hard at making. This time she has made a new soldier uniform skin as a separate piece of clothing. Yes, its restricted to soldiers for those who are bummed out that it isnt for Scoundrels and Scouts. But to make more sense of it, this mod only has full affect with the soldier class since it will only change the look of the soldier class. If you were going to wear this with anybody else (like Carth, and Canderous who are soldiers), the appearance would go to their default clothing look. I must say this is a much, much better looking soldier uniform skin than the default. Im very impressed and will be using this skin myself. :DThe stats and instructions to use this mod are in the readme. Trust me this is well worth the download. Keep on modding for us, Inyri Forge. :)-Shem
We recommend you return to the download list and browse the links from there. If the problem persists, contact us with the details.

The United States is drawing up plans to support France's efforts to combat Islamist rebels in Mali, the LA Times reported Monday.
The U.S. is making plans to send surveillance drones and provide mid-air refueling for French aircrafts, according to the report. Defense officials told the Times that a small number of U.S. troops could be sent to Mali or surrounding areas to act in a support role.
French airstrikes continued overnight in Mali. France has also pledged to increase its troop presence on the ground from about 750 to 2,500 soldiers.

The orphanage is likely to be built near the Sai Baba ashram in south India. Cryuff, however, could not give the exact location of the place. He confirmed , though, that volunteers of his foundation had inspected the area and wanted to set up the orphanage by next year.
Cryuff also has plans to set up a boarding school there, if funds are available. Cryuff wants to donate footballs to the school and maybe later even send some Dutch coaches to train the young boys and girls.
Cryuff said he had been inspired by Mother Teresa, and was always very sensitive to child labour and poverty in India. The plight of children has always moved him.
If Cryuff�s orphanage materialises, he will be joining the ranks of international sportsmen who are helping the deprived in India. Recently, Australian cricket captain Steve Waugh helped to set up a Calcutta-based organisation for children of leprosy patients, Udayan.
A fine exponent of total football, a firm believer in attacking play and a successful coach with Barcelona, the legendary Cryuff enjoys almost divine status in the Netherlands. Cryuff�s signature orange shirt, with the famous No. 14, is still cherished and worn by thousands of fans, including many teenagers who never saw him play.
Marco van Basten and Ruud Gullit have receded into the background, but not Cryuff. Still slim and fit, Cryuff has a larger than life personality.
During Euro 2000 (the 11th European Football championships) Cryuff was a television expert with the BBC.
Cryuff�s philanthropic nature also makes him such a legend in the Netherlands. He has set up the Johan Cryuff Sports Foundation, which works for the betterment of deprived children in the Netherlands, Spain and Surinam.
Explaining his philosophy, Cryuff said: �My father was a grocer and died when I was just 14 years old. My life changed and suddenly I had more responsibilities. Luckily my mother got a job in the catering department of Ajax Amsterdam. It was close to where we lived, and I used to frequently go there and play with their age-group teams. That is how my football career took-off.�
Cryuff admits that he was lucky to have played and received formal coaching in the School of Excellence at Ajax Amsterdam. He said it was important that no one should be deprived of the joys of childhood, of the pleasure of playing and education because of poverty or mishaps.
His foundation supports orphanages and poor homes. It provides sports kits and pays for the education of poor children.
Prabhakar was examined by the CBI for a second time in the backdrop of some cricketers like Navjyot Singh Siddhu and Prashant Vaidya and former Indian manager Ajit Wadekar refusing to corroborate his claim. All three have previously been questioned by the CBI.
The CBI sought �clarifications� from him on some of his earlier statements made before the bureau. He was also questioned on the statements made by some cricketers who he had claimed were present when Kapil Dev allegedly offered him Rs 25 lakh. The Delhi all-rounder had earlier been questioned on May 27.
In another see-saw top-of-table play, Biplob Bijoy Dutta of Government High School, Jorhat, fought tooth and nail to get the better of Omeshore Lairengem of Adimjati Little English School in 78 moves of an irregular French Defence setup.
Tough battle
A fine line separated victory from defeat in the duel between Abhinob Baruah of Carmel School, Jorhat and Mitali Handique of Holy Child School, Guwahati.
Everything seemed hunky-dory as both Abhinob and Mitali pussy-footed on an even keel till 24 moves of the Sicilian Defence with six pawns, a knight and a bishop each.
Handling black pieces, Mitali mechanically played Ke7 on the 28th move, overlooking a simple knight fork which resulted in the loss of her pawn on h3. But still to convert the pawn-plus knight-bishop ending into a win, it demanded of her experienced opponent Abhinob deft and subtle maneuvers, particularly synchronisation of bishop and knight sallies.
The loss of pawn had in a way upset Mitali�s stratagem cart as she was forced to keep her bishop tied to the stable to support her hanging pawns on a6 and b5. On the contrary, Abhinob�s bishop was spitting fire along the b1-h7 diagonal and in the course of time, he trained it on the h1-a8 diagonal to check his rival�s king marching towards his territory.
Tactic over patience
The patience of the young girl gave way to Abhinob�s tactics which paved the way for his central passer. But Mitali continued playing till her opponent checkmated her on the 39th move.
Playing white, Thongam exchanged his central king pawn with that of Nabajyoti�s queen pawn as chessmen moved humpty-dumpty in the Caro-Kann Defence � 1. e4-c6 2. d4-d5 3. E4xd5-c6xd5 � yielding white a half open king file and black a half open queen bishop file. Nabajyoti pitchforked his pair of knights for the queenside attack and ensuing melee he timely traded off his knights and queen with that of his opponents.
A tactical knight sortie on the 21st move � Nxb2 won Nabajyoti a pawn, besides the queen exchange on d3 had earlier saddled Thongam with double pawns on the queen file.
In a pawn plus rook and pawn ending, Nabajyoti steered his rooks on the ranks and files with apparent ease. While white king remained straight-jacketed on the fringe of the board, black king marched forward under the shield of his central pawn. The game was over when Nabajyoti queened his pawn on 52nd move � d1.
Nirmal Jyoti Sarma (3) beat Bikramjit Dhar (2); Rituraj Kaushik (2) lost to Durlov Nanda (3); Pankaj Nayan Singh (2) lost to Digbijoy Singh (3); Rustom Raktim Dutta (2) lost to Gurumayum Inao Sharma (3); Irengem Singh (2.5) drew with Potshangbam Sanjoy (2.5); Mansh Pratim Hajarika (2) lost to Sashanka Singh (3); Joysing Engleng (2) lost to Ranjan Talukdar(3); Lairengjem Singh (3) beat Sanjoy Kaushik (2); Meghnath Rabha (3) beat Siddarth Sancheti (2); Nandan Burgohain (3) beat Trailokya Nanda (2) and Yambem Singh (3) beat Nilutpal Baithoque (2).
Dam netted two in the first session and completed his hattrick in the second before a Pranab Sarkar self-goal swelled the Police tally further.
Bowbazar Young Men�s Union and Customs shared points, scoring a goal apiece. Shintu Nandy put Bowbazar in front, Sanjay Kundu restored parity.
Two other group B matches failed to produce goals. Ever Ready Association were playing Taltala DS at Rabindra Sarobar Stadium, while Victoria SC were in action against Taltala Institute at Mohun Bagan ground.

Sanjib�s goal warmed the hearts of 5,000-odd fans who saw touches of Euro 2000 in his spectacular 25-yard angular shot which left custodian Gopal Das rooted to his spot.
With some luck, Sanjib could have had the second goal credited to his name too. A Carlton Chapman through had the striker darting goalwards. Spotting the �keeper leave charge, Sanjib flicked the ball past Das towards an untenanted goal. With stopper Soumen Sarkar retreating, the opportunistic Ragui Singh dashed in to beat the defender to a final touch to the ball.
Ukrainian Andriy Malchevsky showed some good touches but by and large struggled to weather the bugging humidity. The others in midfield and up front adjusted to the sticky weather rather well as Syed Nayeemuddin�s team dominated proceedings.
Chapman, who struck a good rapport with Dipankar Roy and Chandan Das, was the first to have cracks at the Mohammedan Sporting goal. His first shot had �keeper Das scrambling to his right for an ungainly save. Then, a 20-yard first-timer went straight to Das.
Malchevsky, who sent a left-footed placement just wide in the 17th minute, squandered the easiest chance a couple of minutes later. Dipendu fed Dipankar on the left and the little medio worked his way up before essaying a pinpoint cross for Malchevskiy. Eight yards from the goal and with the �keeper at his mercy, the big Ukrainian mistimed his left-footed tap to send the ball miles over the target.
For a team with neither a playmaker nor a snatcher in midfield, Mohammedan Sporting did well to survive the East Bengal onslaught and launch a couple of counters. Kasif Jamal�s shot from about 30 yards had enough sting to rock East Bengal custodian Sangram Mukherjee. Fortunately for him, no Mohammedan Sporting man was on hand to rush for the little ricochet.
With Sangram showing a shaky pair of hands and Anit Ghosh making simple situations difficult, East Bengal faced some more awkward moments. A long Tej Bahadur throw-in on the half-hour mark beat a confused East Bengal defence and reached an unmarked Kasif who blew a great opportunity with a wild effort.
Sanjib, coming on 13 minutes into the second half, was soon in business. He set up Dipendu with a measured square ball just outside the 18-yard box only to see the latter�s right-footer go off target.
Three minutes from full time, a Dipendu solo almost resulted in goal No. 3. The striker, who played an intelligent game from a slightly withdrawn position, worked his way past two defenders and went wide to his right before letting go a power-packed right-footer. It thudded into the side bar and rebounded safely for the Mohammedan Sporting defence to clear.
Tollygunge managed no more than a dreary draw with Port Trust yesterday, but they�ll still make the last four as long as they avoid a three-goal defeat against Mohun Bagan. In practical terms, the match will be a battle to avoid East Bengal in the semis. A draw will suffice for Mohun Bagan, a win is must for Tollygunge.

You have a choice to date any of these guys:
This is Jenkins (the griefer). He spends most of his daytime playing PC (WoW or COD). He lives in his parents home in their basement and has stashes of Doritos and Mtn Dew. He works in a part time job as truck driver occasionally so he gets some money he needs to replenish WoW subscriptions and his stash of Doritos and Mtn Dew and other stuff. His daily schedule is getting up at 10:00 and goes to bed at 02:00 and between that time he plays on his PC. He doesn't know how to talk with women and his social circle consists of online friends. His interests are video games and PC electronics.
This is Briar. Briar is VERY rich! He owns his own property with garden and pool, drives a SUV and is a businessman, that sometimes involves in illegal activities in order to keep the cash flowing. He is also the oldest of all the others. He believes himself to be a so called alpha-male and he has no morals, no respect and is super arrogant. He believes, that women are sex objects and is willing - if you go on a date with him - to spend up to $1000 on you on the dates in fancy places and expensive gifts in order to claim you and get in your pants whenever he demands.
This is Logan. Logan is a senior college student in a STEM field and he is the top student in his group. Although he doesn't have friends and is an outsider, he is pretty laid back, calm and ambitious. He doesn't have money however he keeps trying to apply for any job he can get no matter the price. His hobbies are PC gaming (COD for example) and science. He has no social skills but keeps browsing on GAG because he is an open minded person with morals. He also never had a girlfriend and sex before. He is also the youngest of all.
This is Mark. Mark works full time as warehouse worker. He has a problem with smoking/drinking, constantly complains about it and doesn't do anything to solve these problems. Hence he never has money because of his seemingly addictions.

These persons are based on real persons while their images and names are not relevant to them.
If you have a boyfriend or husband already, take this time to imagine yourself being single again and having a choice of these guys. Who would you go for?
