Concerns are mounting over the effect of closing the Tourist Information office (TIC) on Bury St Edmunds' Angel Hill.
Bury Society chairman Karen Hurden is dissatisfied with the current system, introduced last month, which has seen The Apex, in Charter Square, become the town's main centre for information.
She blames a lack of signage for people not knowing where to find the town's support network of 'tourist hubs' - located at Moyse's Hall Museum, the Theatre Royal, Smiths Row and St Edmundsbury Cathedral - and has called for a review to be carried out.
She said: "The tourist service at the moment is not delivering for tourists coming to the town and I believe a review is necessary.
"In the meantime, we (Mrs Hurden and Martyn Taylor, Bury Society committee member and local historian) want to be constructive, so have planned a meeting with Cllr Sarah Stamp (portfolio holder for heritage, arts and culture)."
Cllr Stamp said: "There is signage on order for the front of the cathedral and for around the town, so we're addressing that and I apologise for the delay in implementing it."
She said feedback from people using the new tourist service had been 'extremely positive' and that she was confident it was working.
The council says that having tourist information available at several places in the town allows people more than 400 extra hours a year in which to seek advice.
But Arthur Debenham, who fought the closure of the TIC on Angel Hill by collecting around 600 signatures on a petition, claims its closure is having a knock-on effect on his business, with Suffolk County Tours taking around 20 per cent fewer bookings.
He said: "It's affecting my guided coach tours because they (the TIC) are my booking agents. Some people don't realise it's even moved at this present time and are going to the wrong place. Others aren't happy about having to go up to The Apex."
He added: "It's so disjointed and is creating such a terrible impression of our town. It beggars belief."
The council says closing the TIC on Angel Hill will save it £70,000 a year.
Cllr Stamp said: "As with anything else change takes time to get used to, but I'm confident we're offering more of a tourist information service than ever before and that things are working."

#10768 closed Bug Report - General (fixed)
Unable to record with mpeg-4 software encoding
|Reported by:

|MythTV - General
|Ticket locked:
With recent master (v0.26-pre-409-gc51c98a), I am unable to record with mpeg-4 software encoding. There are two issues:
- The recording profile codec settings are not loaded correctly, so the recorder defaults to RTjpeg:

Another symptom of the problem is that the video/audio codec settings in mythtv-setup "Recording Profiles" do not reflect what's in the database and changes do not appear to stick.
This problem appears to be due to settings changes in 84974039959d2372844a39a820ca4c7530df5a58. I'm not sure why, but the attached hack seems to make it work.
- With the codec settings loaded correctly, the recordings do not contain any video. This appears due to changes to use new ffmpeg API. The second patch makes it work.

My First Cinderella - ENB2 (Tour - Manchester)
Editorial Staff • Blackpool, Bolton, Chester, Lancaster, Liverpool, Manchester, Oldham, Salford • 19 May 2013
WOS Rating:
With the aide of a narrator (Jane Wymark) the audience are guided through a simplified version of this classical piece with good introductions to each character and Act One in particular, has a good amount of narration to help the children understand the role danced has to play in telling the story. The idea of soloists is introduced and the excitement builds as Cinderella prepares to head to the ball.
Act Two has less narration as the audience has already had a lot of the information they need to follow the story and there is more emphasis on the dance elements. This allows the second part to flow more like a standard ballet and sees the wonderful ballroom scene unfold.
The concept is a hugely successfully and certainly entertained the 5 year old boy and 6 year old girl in our party. Everything from costume changes to using Prokofiev's music makes the production a great success. There is enough substance to keep the adults entertained and plenty to challenge the children and encourage them to ask questions about what they can see. At an hour and twenty minutes long it is the perfect length for young ones who remain engaged until the end.
Beautifully performed by a young cast this show really does achieve what it sets out to and that is provide an accessible yet enjoying introduction to the world of ballet.
My First Cinderella is a charming show that is bound to spark interest in this beautiful art from people of all ages.

The photograph on the right shows a shirt from Bosnia decorated with cross stitch. The embroidery forms an area around the button band (placket) down the centre front of the shirt.
Cross stitch is a simple technique that can be used to create complex patterns. Regularity of stitch size is important when producing a geometric pattern. You can easily convert your designs to a cross stitch pattern by superimposing a grid on your drawing.
Whilst cross stitch is ideal for pattern and colour it lacks any variety in texture. Experiment with different thickness of the thread and textured yarns. Try mixing stitch sizes to introduce some visual contrast.

Welcome to The Gravesend Branch of the Kent Beekeepers Association.
The Gravesend Beekeepers are based and meet at Cobham Hall, an independant school for girls.
The school is set within 150 acres of parkland which is registered as organic and managed under strict organic rules. The parkland is also a registered park and one of the most important Repton designed landscapes in the country.
In addition to woodland, wood pasture, managed lawns and wildflower areas, the parkland includes grazing pasture which is currently home to a herd of outdoor reared organic cattle.
The opportunity arose to set up an out apiary at Cobham Hall School following discussions between the Gravesend Beekeeper's committee and the Head of Science at the School, now a branch member. For the School, the association provided the opportunity for hands on science experience and particularly the study of different social structures in the environment which bee colonies fit perfectly.
Negotiations commenced in July 2011 with the Bursar et al. The Gravesend and District Beekeepers are very pleased and thankful that Cobham Hall has generously allowed the Beekeepers to use some of their facilities, conduct meetings, run courses and maintain a branch out apiary.
Various sites for the apiary were considered and resolved when the Estates Manager suggested an ideal underused area, protected on all sides with room for plenty of colonies if necessary, on the far corner of the site.
Work commenced in the spring of 2012 and we now have the added advantage of having newly built (by the members) a large secure storage and activity outbuilding.
We are now looking forward to a busy and productive 2015.
Cobham Hall is an independant
day and boarding school for girls.
Celebrating 50years of Achievement.

But the club has a contingency plan and stakeholders will be advised of those plans should the need arise.
In the club's first public statement concerning a possible labour dispute, Jets owners True North Sports and Entertainment sent an email to luxury box owners, season ticket holders and those on the ticket waiting list, saying the club has developed plans in the event of a strike or lockout.
"As you may be aware from recent reports in the media, the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players' Association are currently engaged in the process of negotiating a successor Collective Bargaining Agreement to their current Agreement, which expires Saturday, September 15th, 2012. Although it is the League's objective to successfully conclude negotiations for the new Agreement by September 15th, it is possible this may not occur.
In the event a new Agreement is not reached in this timeframe, and a work stoppage ensues, the Winnipeg Jets' training camp could be postponed, and there is the potential for preseason and regular season games to be cancelled. The purpose of this letter is therefore threefold: (1) to ensure you are aware of the possibility of this occurring, (2) to advise you that we have developed contingency plans including policies and procedures in the event of game cancellations and, (3) to advise you that we will communicate these contingency plans to you immediately upon being advised by the League that a work stoppage has formally commenced.
It remains our hope, as well as that of the League and all those involved, that agreement on the terms of a new Collective Bargaining Agreement will be reached in short order. However, as a valued season ticket holder we wanted to take this opportunity to make you aware of the possibility of a work stoppage occurring and assure you that plans will be in place should we be faced with the potential of missed games."

The concept of 'prehabilitation' exercise training is now becoming well-known with trainers and therapists involved in sports performance preparation. Prehabilitation involves strength and conditioning exercises for specific muscles that help to reduce injury risks, before an injury actually occurs. It's the classic 'an ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure' approach to physical training. Prehabilitation is sport-specific and targets common injuries and strength imbalances that occur in the particular sport.
For example, a common injury suffered by tennis players (and famously Tim Henman last year) is shoulder tendinitis. This is often caused by the high forces involved in the overhead serving action on the shoulder and the fact that tennis players develop an imbalanced shoulder musculature. Specifically, the front shoulder muscles and internal rotators are too strong in comparison to the rear shoulder and external rotator muscles.
Armed with this information about the sport and knowing that shoulder injuries are common, the personal trainer or therapist working with a tennis player should recommend that exercises to develop rear shoulder and rotator cuff strength are included in the strength programme. This will avoid any potential strength imbalance and raise the player's ability to withstand the forces of the serve – hence 'prehabilitating' the injury.
The following is a brief summary of common injuries, the sports in which they often occur, and recommended prehabilitation exercises. From the head down.
Sports: Swimming, Tennis, Javelin, Discus, Shot Put
As mentioned earlier, shoulder tendinitis is related to weak rotator cuff musculature and an imbalance of strength about the shoulder. The following are exercises that would be very useful for shoulder injury pre-habilitation.
Sports: Tennis, Golf
Often this injury occurs because of poor technique, which places too much strain on the wrist musculature. This stress can be offset by strengthening the wrist muscles, particularly the wrist extensors.
Sports: Running, Squash, Tennis
Anterior knee pain often involves the patello-femoral joint and problems with the tracking of the patella. Another common over-use knee injury is patella tendinitis. The pain in both of these injuries is often at the front of the knee – hence the name anterior knee pain.
Strong quadriceps muscles are important for avoiding this injury, particularly the vastus medialis oblique muscle. The VMO is located on the inside of the knee just above the joint. The VMO muscle's fibres are aligned inwards and pull the patella medially, keeping it aligned and running smoothly over the femur. Any misalignment and the cartilage under-surface of the patella can be damaged. The following is a useful exercise for strengthening the quadriceps.
Sports: Football, Netball, Skiing
This serious knee injury often occurs when the knee is extended and rotated at the same time, which can happen during landing from a jump and during falls.
The risk of this injury can be reduced by having strong quadriceps and hamstring muscles. In fact, a good ratio of hamstring-to- quadriceps strength has specifically been shown to reduce knee ligament injury risks since the hamstring supports the ACL's pull on the tibia.
Sports: Rugby, Netball, Football
Ankle sprains tend to be accidental and sometimes related to the surface the sport is played upon. However, having strong lower leg muscles and good proprioception in the ankle joint can reduce the risk of this injury. The following are useful exercises.

Review Round-up: Is Pygmalion a Shaw Bet?
Editorial Staff • West End • 21 Jul 2010
Pygmalion's story, Professor Henry Higgins betting he can coach Cockney flower girl Eliza Doolittle to be passed off as a Lady, has become all too familiar in recent years, not least thanks to the musical adaptation My Fair Lady.
Rupert Everett leads the cast as Professor Higgins with Stephanie Cole his aristocratic mother. Also in the cast are Peter Eyre as Colonel Pickering and Honeysuckle Weeks as Eliza Doolittle. Philip Prowse designs and directs.
Did this starry revival of Shaw's 1913 classic manage to sweet talk the critics?

The article regarding that Mississippi baby born with HIV but subsequently appearing cured is certainly exciting news (TNT, 3-5). Prevention, of course, is a tool we already have.
The most cost-effective HIV preventions are mother-to-child transmission intervention and male circumcision. Globally, one in every seven HIV infections occur when a mother passes the virus on to her child.
We know that early AIDS treatment reduces the occurrence of tuberculosis infection by 84 percent. This is critical, since TB is the biggest killer of people with HIV.
The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria has accomplished amazing inroads on these three diseases of poverty in its 10-year existence and operates on just 4.8 percent overhead. But the fund needs support, and multiple drug-resistant TB cases are increasing worldwide because of ineffective treatment.
About 200 such cases now appear annually in the U.S., costing about $50,000 to $500,000 to treat each case. These MDR-TB infection strains can be spread to others by a person breathing the same air, as on an airplane.
Globally it costs just $20 to treat 95 percent of TB cases. For the first time ever, we can see the end of AIDS if we act now. Our entire international development aid, of which the fund is part, amounts to less that one fourth of one penny for every dollar of our national income.
Our insane across-the-board sequestration budget cuts are short-sighted in the extreme. We need to support the Global Fund.

"I thought the key to the game was Adam (Warren) out of the bullpen. When you get in the hole early, you want to hold the other team down and try to cut into the lead. Once again we were able to come from behind. Not sure how long we will be able to do it. Hopefully until the 2008 season. We're fortunate that we have a group that doesn't give up. Pitching and defense usually gets you where you want to be, and it certainly did tonight." (Inside Carolina)

A word that was used in every session I attended at day 1 of the Idea Camp.
The unusual thing about The Idea Camp is, rather that filling the schedule with well-known key-note speakers, there are workshops and sessions with people who have experience, maybe some expertise and a story. They are people who have walked through the fires of sexual abuse, failed marriages, adultery, exploitation, prostitution, pornography and addiction. The workshops are interactive and every one in attendance is invited to contribute. Everyone has a story.
Let's just say, it was really heavy.
The word safety was used when talking about the marriage bed. Guarding it. Contending for it. Making it the the place of holiness it was designed to be. It was also mentioned as the necessity to healing from abuse. It was brought to the forefront of the restoration process from sin and it is required for intimacy.
If you want to have a rockin' sex life with your spouse, you need to feel safe with him or her. Talking about things is not always easy, but if you feel safe you can have these conversations.
Victims of abuse have lost their sense of safety. They feel abandoned, isolated and unworthy. Unless they find a person or a place of safety, they are not able to open the Pandora's Box of hurt, loss and shame they may be pressing down.
Those that find themselves lost in affairs need to experience the safety that comes with grace in order to be restored after repenting from their sin.
Last night, Nicole Wick shared that true healing happens in community. Referencing Luke 5 where we find a paralytic who can't come to Jesus on his own. His friends know the only way he can be healed is by Jesus. So when they can't get through the crowds, they climb up on the roof, carrying their friend on a stretcher and they lower him down, right in front of Jesus.
My mom is paralyzed and I know if I were to grab a few friends, put her on a stretcher and climb up on a roof top only to lower her down in the middle of a crowd, she would be completely freaked out to the point of not willing to go through with it. She would not feel safe. She would feel vulnerable and more out of control than she already feels. We don't read anything indicating this man was reluctant, fearful or hesitant. He must have known he was in good hands. He was willing to take the risks associated with putting his life and his care in the hands of these friends.
If you find yourself lost in the pain of abuse or in debilitating damage of your sin, do you have a trust worthy friend who you feel safe with? One who will take you to Jesus when you don't think you can get there?
How are we doing with cultivating shelter for those who are in need of it?
What will it take for you to feel safe enough to talk to your spouse about what
your needs are to get to place of greater intimacy?
In any case, it's worth the battle. Let's do this.

Is it me or is time flying this offseason? I can't believe that the deadline to protect players from the Rule 5 Draft is already upon us. Tomorrow night at 11:59 PM EST is the deadline for adding players to the 40 Man Roster.
I think the Mets are in great shape heading into decision day. With four spots currently open, that's just enough to protect Steven Matz, Jeff Walters and Jacob deGrom with room to spare. They could also cut Omar Quintanilla and Scott Atchison to open up two more spots.
I'd like to see the Mets open up those additional spots and protect Allan Dykstra, Darin Gorski and Adam Kolarek.
The likelihood of any of the other unprotected players lasting on an MLB roster for an entire year are slim to none, so they should all survive the purging. Those players include:
Triple-A Las Vegas 51s
Hamilton Bennett
Eric Campbell
John Church
Reese Havens
Rylan Sandoval
Chris Schwinden
Double-A Binghamton Mets
Joe Bonfe
Darrell Ceciliani
Mark Cohoon
Blake Forsythe
Ryan Fraser
Jim Fuller
Erik Goeddel
Chase Huchingson
Greg Peavey
Cory Vaughn
Like I said, the Mets are in good shape…
In case you were wondering, any player is eligible for the Rule V who:
1. Signed his first pro contract being age 19 or older after FOUR SEASONS (counting the season in which he signed)
2.Signed his first pro contract being younger than 19 after FIVE SEASONS (counting the season in which he signed)
These rules apply regardless of how much they have played since or whether they missed any time due to injury.

Wow, and people think Mesoraco will take a while to develop. This is officially the first Reds' signee younger than my little bro. Crazy to think about.
Signing such young guys is so pathetic of professional sports teams. We should sign some Asians instead.
I think it is a little disturbing that of all people he wants to sit next to on a plane flight he chose Bruce Lee. I am not a medical expert but Mr. Lee is probably going to be a little ripe to set next to.
Just think how close we are to signing guys who can say "the Reds have never won the World Series in my lifetime". A matter of days...
"In baseball, you don't know nothin'"...Yogi Berra
We can afford to wait on a 16 year old. Say it takes him 4-5 years to develop; he would be playing for the Reds at 20 or 21. I can live with that. I am glad to see the Reds are getting involved in signing international players.
BA states that he signed for $100,000, the biggest bonus for a prospect from Australia.

I have been thinking about my knitting and reading goals a lot the past couple of weeks. I am really pleased with my "make more" monthly goal, although I already feel like I am behind!
Last week I said that I was planning on knitting one item and making another something - whether that is a sewing project, needlework, even coloring in one of those adult coloring books. My priority is to complete two projects.
I don't have a list of projects that I plan to make, instead focusing on what I am working on right now. Right now, it is a scarf using the lovely yarn I received from my brother and sister-in-law for Christmas.
I haven't had an enormous amount of time to work on it, but I have made some progress and I am pleased with how it is turning out. Perhaps I should take the advice of one of my readers last week and make it into a cowl by sewing up the end! That would certainly make it a faster project. It is a fun pattern though, and I am enjoying knitting a few rows here and there.
My book this week - well this is one that seemed to be all over the place last year. The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up. I am almost done with it. I have to say it is a very quick read, which is nice. Although some of what she says makes no sense to me (saying thank you to my clothes before getting rid of them), it is definitely motivational. It has sparked a new resolve in me to purge my house.
I talked about doing a whole house purge in my post Welcome to a Brand New Year of Loving Life, so I was already planning to purge my home. But, this book has made me reconsider some of the items that I already had put out of my head as definite keepers. I really would like to evaluate all the items in my home to find out if they spark joy, or if they really do not need to be kept. Everything from old wedding invitations to text books that we really do not need to keep, to old notebooks that I have half filled out with lists and other random information.
I'm definitely excited! Now, to convince my kids to join me, that will be the next step!
What are you working on this week? Do you have a favorite organizing book?

Photo Gallery: Photos of DeCastro during the 2013 season
But where he probably has felt most comfortable over the last few months has been in the Steelers weight room, where he has been a regular working out with fellow lineman
"I am doing what I did last year, just increasing it," said DeCastro of his offseason work outs. "I think I had a good offseason last year coming back from the knee, I just have to get stronger, come back in better shape and be in a better position than I was coming into the season last year."
DeCastro appeared in only four games his rookie season, coming back late in the year after suffering a knee injury in the preseason. Last year, though, was completely different. DeCastro started 15 games at right guard, missing just the New England game with an ankle injury. And his play showed why the Steelers spent a number one draft pick on him in 2012.
"I think we would have seen the same things the first season, but he got injured," said center
While praise comes easy from teammates, DeCastro is not one to pat himself on the back. He sees areas where improvement is needed and has been working all offseason to assure that happens.
"I thought I played pretty well for the most part, but there is a lot to improve on," said DeCastro. "A lot more consistency; consistency is a key word for anyone in the NFL. It's one of those leagues if you are not giving 100 percent and your best effort, you will get beat. I did some good things, but I think I can do better and be more consistent all of the time."
* * *
Since DeCastro arrival in Pittsburgh as a rookie there have been noticeable changes. Teammates used to joke about how quiet he was, not just when talking to the media, but all of the time. That is changing, though.
DeCastro credits growing and maturing with the change Foster refers to, just getting a better understanding of what life in the NFL is all about.
"I have a lot more confidence," said DeCastro. "I am a lot more comfortable in the situation, and the environment I am in.
"I matured a lot, I grew up a lot. You go through things in the league and it teaches you a lot and you have to learn to be strong and have a hard shell. You can't worry about what people say and think. You have to be the judge of yourself. You can't worry about what others think. The only person that matters is you. You are the judge of yourself. You are your own harshest critic."
* * *
There are moments, good and bad, in a football season that you never forget. There was one that DeCastro knew he had to forget, had to put behind him in order to move forward.
In the season opener last year against the Tennessee Titans, DeCastro rolling into Pouncey's leg, resulting in a season-ending torn ACL for the Pro Bowl center. It was an accident, something that happens in the speed of a game. It ate away at DeCastro, but he knew to help the team he had to move past it.
"It was tough. It was real tough at first especially when you had something to do with it," said DeCastro. "It took me a while to recoup from that mentally, reset myself, refocus and know we still have some football there, you still have to play the games. I learned a lot about myself, had a lot of growing up to do. I thought the best thing I could do to make up for losing Pouncey was to play the best that I could, play the best football I could to help the team win.
"I beat myself up. I think anyone would in that situation. At the same time I did that and then let it go. I had to. I knew if I kept beating myself up I would be doing more harm than good and just making things worse."
The key point in him letting it go was Pouncey talked to him, letting him know that all was okay, that there was no blame game, no need to worry.
"Things happen. Everything happens for a reason," said Pouncey. "The injury I had was an accident. Nobody can fault anyone for that. If I would have done the same thing to him I would hope he would have called me and told me everything is okay, you are my brother and I love you the same way. Things happen. That is how the conversation went.
"If I did that to someone else I would hope they would call me and make me feel comfortable. I know he had to play the next couple of weeks and that is hard to do after something like that. He handled it the right way and he played great last year."

AFC South Preview: Year of the Jaguar?August 31, 2008
As Summer draws to a close and the chill of September hits the air,all across the nation we NFL fans know the greatest sport on Earth is back.
With this fresh, new feeling surrounding all 32 teams, it is clear that anyone of them could hoist the Lombardi Trophy on February 1st in Tampa.
At the beginning of the season their are always "sexy" picks. This season is no different with favorites such as New England, Indianapolis, Dallas and San Diego just to name a few. However, no one can sleep on the Jacksonville Jaguars and if you do, you are in for a very rude awaking.
Since its inception in 2002, the AFC South has been about one team: The Indianapolis Colts. With the emergence of the other three teams in this division (Jacksonville, Tennessee, and Houston) the AFC South has now become a powerhouse.
Each year the Colts can feel the Jaguars breathing down their neck, but somehow, someway, the Jags seem to always fall short. As the perennial dark horse in the NFL, Jacksonville is always over looked thanks to their divisional foes from Indianapolis.
Just take a look at the schedule and explodes off the page, wait the Colts have to travel to San Diego and New England? This could very well be the first time in five years that the Colts do not win their division or 12 games in a season.
During their Super Bowl year, the Colts lost a home game to each one of the teams in their division, if they do that this year they might as well hand Jacksonville the division crown. Indianapolis will also open the season sans center Jeff Saturday and with Manning not at 100 percent. The Colts will make the playoffs winning the fifth seed and will finish 11-5.
Tennessee, who finished 10-6, was on a three game winning streak entering the playoffs last year, but came out on the short end of a 17-6 road loss to the San Diego Chargers.
The defense and running game were high points for the Titans, while second year QB Vince Young had his fair share of Sophomore struggles. This year Vince looks to redeem himself and lead his team to the playoffs again.
Long time coach Jeff Fischer is looking for the one thing that has eluted him, a Super Bowl ring. The running game is good and the D is a bit better than last year, but this team needs an extra push to be able to compete in the rough and tough AFC. This year the Titans will finish 7-9 taking a few steps back from their playoff season a year ago.
For most AFC teams 8-8 is a disappointing season, however, for the Houston Texans 2007 was a huge step forward. Defensive end Mario Williams who was the first overall pick of the 2006 draft had a break out season in 2007.
Williams along with Texans Defensive coordinator Richard Smith will look to lead an emerging D line into NFL elite. On the offensive side on the ball, Wide Receiver Andre Johnson is among the leagues top wide outs. In 2007 Johnson played nine games but managed to rack up 851 yards and eight touchdowns on only 60 catches.
After acquiring former Atlanta Falcon back up Matt Schaub, the Texans offense will be strong for years to come. Head Coach Gary Kubiak has a great young team. This year the Texans will have a repeat performance and once again finish the season 8-8.
A dark cloud is looming over the AFC. It circles and swirls around Indianapolis. This cloud is the 2008 Jacksonville Jaguars.
Head Coach Jack Del Rio and his team pack a powerful punch and will finally over take the mighty Colts. Quarterback David Gerard and the one two half-back combination of future hall of famer Fred Taylor and the third year lighting bolt of out UCLA, Marice Jones-Drew, will lead the Jags on their quest for the AFC South championship.
A strong, tough, nasty defense will once again punish every team they face this season. Corners Rashean Mathis and Drayton Florence are a great duo and will lead this defense.
The Jags have it where in counts: size, speed, and amazing talent. The schedule is relatively light and they will dominate their opponents early and often. The 2008 Jacksonville Jaguars will go 13-3 and win the AFC South.
After sending three teams to the playoffs in 2007, the AFC South will have two teams in the 2008 post season. If all goes right we could potentially see the Indianapolis Colts vs the Jacksonville Jaguars in the AFC championship game to see which team advances to Super Bowl XLIII. Expect great things for the players and coaches of this phenomenal division and for some head turning moments.

Biel, Switzerland and New York—Diamonds will have a new best friend. On Friday, Swatch Group, which paid $1 billion for the legendary U.S. jewelry company Harry Winston in January, named Nayla Hayek, chairwoman at Swatch Group and daughter of the late Nicolas Hayek, who build the company into the world's largest watch company, as chief executive office, effective immediately.
According to Beatrice Howald, a Swatch Group spokesperson, Nayla Hayek had been serving as chairwoman already at Harry Winston, a role she undertook when Swatch acquired the jewelry earlier this year.
Nayla Hayek replaces Frederic de Narp, who had been CEO since January 2010 when he left Cartier where he was CEO for that brand's North American business. Nayla Hayek's brother, Nick Hayek Jr., is chief executive of Swatch Group. The Hayek family is believed to control about 40% of Swatch Group, a company that posted 2012 sales that were up 16% to $7.66 billion.
While Swatch Group owns nearly two dozen brands, mostly watches, its purchase of Harry Winston is seen as a challenge to rival Cartier, which is owned by Cie. Financiere Richemont SA. Since LVMH's purchase of Bulgari, major luxury conglomerates have been vying to add international branded jewelry companies to their stables.

Tall is beautiful again. Just as London is welcoming a rash of new commercial skyscrapers, so the residential property market is beginning to transform an old enemy - the tower block.
In the Sixties, high-rise flats were described as futuristic streets in the sky, boasting communal areas and in-creased security. By the late Seventies they had become cells for council tenants isolated by broken lifts and housing-estate violence. When, in the Eighties, Thatcherite market forces tried to end council housing by giving tenants the right to buy, the undesirability of many tower blocks left them as mainly council-owned sink estates with a few home-owners who had no possibility of reselling. But now private developers, who have turned warehouses, barns, churches and schools into up-market contemporary housing, are giving the treatment to towers.
Take Sudbury House, a 19-floor block in Clapton, previously owned by Hackney Council. Two others nearby were demolished in the Nineties when the area was known for poverty and high crime, and run by an 'old Labour' local authority. Sudbury tenants paid from £40 to £80 a week in rent, although many were on housing benefit.
Sudbury House is now called Landmark Heights, London E5, with 114 one- and two-bedroom flats selling for £95,000 to £165,000. There is now a concierge at reception, floodlit secure car parking, landscaped gardens, plus conference room, laundry and gym facilities, and entryphones for each flat. Buyers can take an optional £15,000 upgrade to have wooden floors, trendier lighting and better kitchen and bathroom fittings.
Like many privatisations, this one benefited from a de facto public subsidy. 'The block was in good condition when we bought it because it had been refurbished for housing association use,' says Steve Eagles, a chartered surveyor at developer Aitch Group. 'We obviously made sure it didn't have structural problems of the kind associated with some blocks, and we were very happy with its location - it's right for the market we want to target,' he says.
The block now claims to be the height of contemporary urban chic. Large windows offer owners from the fifth floor and above striking views of Hackney Marshes on one side, and landmarks like the London Eye and Millennium Dome on the other.
'This block really signifies how Clapton is improving,' says Fizle Sagar, who lives nearby and works at Islington estate agency Currells, which is selling the apartments. 'The people who are buying are locals who want to start on the property ladder, singles who are attracted to this kind of accommodation, and people from outside of London who want a low-cost property,' she says.
It was the same story with Keeling House in Bethnal Green, east London, a 15-storey block designed in 1956 by Sir Denys Lasdun, who went on to create the National Theatre on London's South Bank. His theory was to make all the Keeling House living-rooms point outwards to gain maximum exposure to the sun as it moved around the towers. Thirty years later it was declared unsafe, with masonry cracks and nets erected to catch falling stonework. It was saved from demolition only because it was listed on the recommendation of English Heritage. It was derelict for some years and Tower Hamlets made various attempts to get a social landlord, like a housing association, to take it over. But last year developer Lincoln Holdings bought it for a reported £1.3 million and turned it, like Landmark Heights, into a des-res.
It has 50 maisonettes, eight flats and eight penthouses. There is now a glass foyer with a waterfall, and the flats' interiors have become more open plan. The penthouses, selling for a cool £375,000, have larger glass frontages to maximise their spectacular views. Warren Black, from agent Felicity J Lord, says this sort of property is a good investment in one of London's undervaluedareas, Bethnal Green.
'The canny purchaser will always keep his eye on centrally located, up-and-coming areas. Keeling House is on the fringe of the City.'
Nearby Solkin and Trevelyan Houses, also listed tower blocks, may be next on the agenda for other interested developers. But the drive continues to keep at least some blocks in the social housing sector. Voluntary groups have set up the National Sustainable Tower Blocks Initiative to try to breathe new life into council and housing association ownership. The group says there are still 4,000 publicly owned tower blocks housing up to 800,000 people, and wants a government and council campaign to repair the buildings and extend their life-expectancy. But it may be a battle. The initiative says most blocks would take £5m to make safe - but only £500,000 to demolish. Little wonder private development appears attractive to cash-strapped councils.
Buying in a privately refurbished block is also likely to be easier than, say, buying your own council flat in a tower still run by the local authority. Some right-to-buy applicants complain about some lend-ers' reluctance to offer mortgages for high-level flats. And the new fashion of tower living is not restricted to refurbished ex-council buildings. New towers are to be built, aimed at luxury buyers and renters,as part of the London regeneration schemes outlined for Elephant and Castle, Paddington Basin and parts of the City. Ironically, the upper storeys of the old blocks were deeply unpopular with council tenants, who feared the combination of lift failures and isolation. Now private renters and buyers pay a penthouse premium the higher they go.

Lately, my father has been asking me questions which I dread the most.
His questions made me anxious. And filled with this anxiety, I ended up searching for things in the cupboard inside the stock room. There, I found my boxes full of memorabilia.
To escape from reality, I decided to dig in those boxes. Boy those boxes were heavy.
Inside these boxes were papers, pictures, key chains, and every other thing which holds a memory of my youth.
I read both journals. Most of the entries were rants, confessions, and narrations of what happened during those days.
As a grammar nazi (and as a Linguistics and Literature graduate), I was amazed. I didn't I write so well before. In straight English. Hahaha. My entries nowadays, if I ever write, is a combination of English and Cebuano-Bisaya.
And as I read on, I thought, "Whatever happened to the happy-go-lucky and goal-oriented Dane in these journal entries?"
Moving on…
There were papers tucked at the cover of the journals. I was amazed (sorry for the lack of a better word) to see unfaded pictures of my classmates, Rachel and Quinn.
If I remember it well, these pictures were part of the classroom decorations. When we were in fourth year high school, our classroom decor included a corner which presents the class officers (both name and pictures).
Then I saw some colored papers. I thought these were empty. To my surprise, these were merit cards. Hahahahaha. I thought I threw them all away.
These merit cards are equivalent to the certificates our Dean gives to students on the dean's list during an honor's assembly. Mmm, these merit cards are far more numerous than the certificates I have from the Dean. Oh well.
As I continue to walk down the memory lane, I saw this exam permit.
Oooh yeah. I took a college entrance exam at MSU-IIT. (I passed, btw.)
I remember that I had a hard time choosing between Linguistics and Literature and Metallurgical Engineering. In the end, i trusted my strengths in grammar and the languages – I took the Linguistics and Literature program in the University of San Carlos.
Having just earned my bachelors degree in Linguistics and Literature last March 2015, and seeing this exam permit once again today had me asking myself – "How would my life be today if I took the Metallurgical Engineering program in MSU-IIT?"
I shrugged that question away. Taking up the Engineering program would be an arduous road. I am not good in math. And heck I am lazy when it comes to analyzing problems.
And how could I not forget telling you about these letters?
Woah, some of these letters were written in as early as 2003. Amazing!
I remember the time when the internet was not yet a fad. I think it was when I was in Grade 3 (2003?). My friends and I used to exchanged letters. I even remember using white bond papers with designs I drew myself as letter papers because I didn't want to waste my precious stationeries. Hahahahaha…
I should have kept those letters. Ugh. But I was a sloppy keeper when I was a child. However, I shouldn't be sad. I still kept a lot of letters – from my mom and dad, my sister, friends, acquaintances, and even teachers. Hahahaha.
Tears flowed and laughter echoed inside the room as I read those letters. Most letters were secrets, encouragements, and thank yous. But there were some letters, those from my regular senders (Rachel and Alvin), which are just simple conversations – of how are yous and what-happened-today narratives. It reminded me of my carefree days and of those days when I was still expected to make mistakes.
Nowadays, I feel really lost. I feel like a coward.
I already had plans after I graduated – to work, to get a masters degree, and so on. But after graduation, I bummed out. I literally was a couch potato.
Musing over the past reminded me of who I am. Or of who I was. Or whatever.
—– —– —- —– —– —- —– —– —- —– —– —- —– —– —- —– —– —-
Since I do not know how to end this post, I'm leaving you with a excerpt from one of the letters I received from my friends.
I just want to extend my gratitude to this friend. And, friend, I hope I get to know the real me, too. I've been hiding my real self too much that I have already forgotten the real me.

The Wii U isn't the failure everyone's saying that it is. Here's why.
There have been a fair share of complaints levelled at the Wii U, so much so that those who have invested in Nintendo's latest console may be reconsidering their purchase. However, look past all the speculation touted by naysayers of the "gimmicky" new system and you'll find that the Wii U isn't the failure it's alleged to be, and that it actually has a rather bright future ahead of it.
Here are 5 reasons why Wii U owners shouldn't be panicking.
No matter what I am buying this console,
If even 1st Party Games came out on it- that is saying a lot about their quality.
I dont currently own a wii-u and have read alot of users find the tablet gimmicky but I will leave that to myself to decide, my main worry for the wii-u and I have said before it needs proper 3rd party support because you cant just have exclusives alone, the wii-u needs the ( I buy 2 games a month gamers) and they wont be on board until the exclusives come, I just cant see many gamers just owning a wii-u for 1st and 3rd party games as they will get 3rd party on ps4 or sexbox 2, live by the sword die by the sword for nintendo this gen.
Wii U owners have never panicked to begin with.
All the thigns people are making an issue out of are only issues to people who never intended to get Wii U.
These aren't true or hardcore gamers in here trying to insult the Wii U by calling it gimmicky and always crying "Oh poor Nintendo, they better do XXXXX" etc... everytime a negative article pops up. Those are immature fanboys. Actual Wii U owners have never been worried.
They are just waiting for games. The games have been announced, and they will arrive sooner or later. That is all there is to it.
Okay, I'm set until Pikmin 3.
I bought the Wii U and love it right now i'm loving my purchase and don't regret it. I had mine pre ordered on day one came home got it connected did the update and got out during the download. The only issue I have now is Hulu freezes my system at times. But so far game wise have Zombie U, Darksiders and Nintendo land. I also have supported the indie movement with purchasing great games and love the new retro games they have.
I read a lot of comments about the doom and gloom but to be honest I work two jobs and by the time i quit my PT gig there will be new games out. But I have this feeling at E3 Nintendo is going to show proof that there serious. If they wanted to they could go into the crate and and do HD remakes of the games people love. But I have a feeling they know that and at E3 I think it will not be about the numbers but more the games.

Aaron Rodgers Will Beat Brett Favre Both Times This YearAugust 19, 2010
Brett Favre is coming back to play for the Minnesota Vikings. Is anyone actually surprised by this decision? Surprised, no. Happy, yes. The biggest smiles in the league Tuesday came from The Green Bay Packers, Ted Thompson, Mike McCarthy, and Aaron Rodgers. They should send Brett Favre a thank you letter for deciding to play one more season.
Why would they be happy to see Favre, who they lost to both times last year? They are looking for the sweetest revenge of all: to send Favre into retirement for good, Lavar Arrington/Troy Aikman style.
Green Bay Packers fans were jerked around for the last couple of years by Favre's waffling in and out of retirement. Favre then tried to force a trade to the Vikings, and when Thompson refused, he spent one season with the Jets and then immediately jumped ship to join the Vikings. Green Bay fans should despise Favre as much as Cleveland Cavaliers fans despise LeBron James. This is the year that the fans can really make their displeasure with Favre known.
Ted Thompson was right all along. Losing Aaron Rodgers to free agency, just to keep Favre for one or two more seasons would have been Thompson's undoing. Thompson decided that Rodgers was the future, and Rodgers has not disappointed. In fact, Rodgers has quickly become the fourth best quarterback in the NFL, behind Tom Brady, Payton Manning, and Drew Brees. Ted Thompson knew what he had, and stuck with his guns. He should be admired for the decision, if he isn't already.
Mike McCarthy is probably camped out, right now, in his office with defensive coordinator Dom Capers looking at blitz packages that will knock Favre out for good. McCarthy's team played well against the Vikings last year, but Favre's motivation to prove that he could still play is what gave the Vikings the edge to beat the Packers. Now, it is a year later, and Favre is a year older, with a bum ankle, and little motivation to beat the Packers. McCarthy will be able to exact his revenge this year.
Aaron Rodgers sat behind Favre, quietly waiting his turn. When Favre started his diva act with the Packers management, Rodgers said and did all the right things. He never mentioned that Favre was a horrible mentor, who didn't take Rodgers under his arm and show him the tricks of the trade. He never bad mouthed Favre, or what his actions were doing to tear apart the Packers. All he did was go out and have two great seasons at quarterback. Rodgers has nothing to prove by beating Favre, he just wants to beat the Vikings and win the NFC North. This is the year that the Packers have the team to do that.
So, on behalf of the Green Bay Packers, Ted Thompson, Mike McCarthy, and Aaron Rodgers: Thank you, Brett. We look forward to seeing you this year.

Having attended and watched hundreds of home inspections, I've had the opportunity to see the good, the bad, and the ugly ones.
Some inspectors really know their stuff, and can catch problems in a house the average person wouldn't. Others don't know what their doing, but somehow seem to get by on a good personality and sense of humour. Some think they aren't doing their job unless they can find a hundred things wrong with the property, and point out the most irrelevant garbage.
In my opinion, the best home inspectors have the following skills:
Knowledge of building code, construction, common problems - not just in general, but area specific.
Personality – yep, it's important. Connecting with the new buyers and understanding their position really helps the process go smoothly. Some inspectors are excellent at it, some are plain lousy.
Tact – This is one of the biggest killers of any home inspection business. With a few quick questions, a good inspector quickly learns the buyer's knowledge of construction, as well as their comfort level in the purchase of their home, and treats them accordingly.
For example, if you're dealing with a buyer who knows nothing about homes and you tell them "the roof is failing on this home, I've found water damage in the attic", this will be grave news to them. Is the roof caving in? Structurally unsound? What have they bought? Explaining with some tact as well as keeping in mind who your audience is, will keep problems in perspective, "The roof has signs of a water leak that may be active. Replacing the roof shingles is necessary to correct the problem, costing an average of x dollars on a home this size", would work much better.
However if you were dealing with someone who knows a lot about home or building construction, it matters less how things are explained, and more that problems are not overlooked or not pointed out.
The ultimate bonus about home inspections is not just knowing the condition of what you're buying, but about home maintenance in general. Many first-time buyers know very little or nothing about how to maintain a home.
A good home inspector will show you all the workings of your home, how they work, and what needs to be done, such as: changing furnace & humidifier filters, furnace tune-up intervals, water valve shut-off locations and when to use them, electrical panel locations and identification of circuits in the home, plumbing clean-outs, thermostat use and humidistat functions, exterior grounds maintenance – proper drainage, keeping eaves clean, points of interest, etc, etc.
Home inspectors will answer all the goofy questions you can possibly come up with. Even if there was nothing at all wrong with the home, this bonus alone is worth the money. You'll move into your home with the knowledge of how to maintain it, when you should do it, when you should call someone, and how it's done. That alone brings a lot of peace of mind.
Did I say home inspections are recommended?
Lastly, where can you find a home inspector that possesses all these qualities? That's where we come in. We've seen inspectors that clients have chosen right out of the Yellow Pages, inspectors recommended by other Realtors, and inspectors we like and use. We drop the bad ones and scribble in our book the ones that do the job right. That goes for lawyers, mortgage brokers, surveyors, and a ton of other professionals who are part of the process.

Music Lyrics
Bass and Guitar Tabs
and More...
Seven Caged Tigers
Pass the time kickin' as time rips by
Neither goose nor the gander fly
Buy a minute spend an hour burnin', burnin'
Take a peek as the model earns it, earns it
Walk a mile as it keeps crawlin', crawlin'
Clean the politician and wash it with everpure
So the answer gets harder, harder
And the truth's getting farther, farther
And the bottle keeps churnin, churnin
Seven caged tigers fly by (fly by)
Wastin' time chasin' those cows that fly
Churnin' out all that butterfly sugarboost
Track the blade as it sweeps downward and onward
Take a pill, it'll kill all the martyrs, martyrs
Passin time rippin as time kicks by
Pass the umbilical cord down for this fly by
Take a sneak while the model earns it earns it
Hike a mile as it keeps crawlin, crawlin on...

Royal Bank of Scotland yesterday said that it had booked up 5,000 mortgage appointments with customers within just three hours of the scheme going live last week.
In all the bank took 10,000 calls in the first four working days of the scheme, double the amount it would typically expect to receive.
RBS, more than 80 per cent owned by the taxpayer, said that so far, the typical Help to Buy applicant was 32 years-old and looking for a joint mortgage for a property. The youngest applicant to date is 19, and the oldest, 42.
Lloyd Cochrane, head of mortgages at RBS and its NatWest subsidiary said: "From the moment we launched our Help to Buy mortgage products, the response we've had from customers has been fantastic.
"We knew there was pent up demand, from speaking to customers we knew there was a frustration and a desire for these products."
He added: "We expect demand for our 95 per cent mortgages to continue, and with appointments for next week already filling up fast, from Tuesday over 740 of our branches will be open longer to make sure we continue to help as many customers as we can."
Under the second phase of Help to Buy, the Government is guaranteeing 15 per cent of the home loan to give banks confidence to grant mortgages to would-be buyers with a deposit equal to just 5 per cent of the value of the home loan they are requesting.
RBS launched a 2-year fixed rate mortgage under the scheme at 4.99 per cent, which is more expensive than some on the market but is nationwide. Smaller building societies are only offering 95 per cent mortgages outside the scheme in their local area.
Halifax is so far the only other mainstream bank to have started offering Help to Buy mortgages but Santander, HSBC and Barclays have all confirmed they will be taking part.
Smaller banks Aldermore and Virgin Money also plan to launch Help to Buy products by the start of January, the anticipated launch date before Prime Minister David Cameron brought it forward by three months.
RBS has only initially planned to sell 25,500 Help to Buy mortgages across both RBS and NatWest. Speaking at last week's launch, Mr Cochrane said it may only take "two to three weeks" for the first person to move in with a Government-backed mortgage.
Critics of the scheme claim it will fuel a worrying artificial "bubble" in house prices. Last month Nationwide said house prices were rising across every region of the UK for the first time since the credit crisis erupted in 2007.
Separately yesterday estate agents Chesterton Humberts predicted that rents in the UK could fall by 5 per cent over the next three years because of sheer number of people who may now look to buy a home.

2010 Camaro interior spotted by spy photographers
Posted by: admin In: Main ()
Spy photographers recently captured a Camaro production test vehicle's interior.
The design looks to keep close to the concept's interior, albeit with certain changes made for practicality. Also keep in mind that the unfinished nature of the trim is due to it being inside a prototype test vehicle. The final interior, no doubt, will be more polished and pleasing to the eye.

WASHINGTON – In just one week, the CUA swimming teams will begin their 2011-12 season with a pair of meets. The Cardinals will host American and George Washington on October 14, and the very next day those same three teams will meet on the campus of American.
Led by Head Coach Paul Waas, CUA had a strong 2010-11 season, culminating with a terrific performance at the Landmark Conference championships, where Waas and his staff were honored as the Women's Coaching Staff of the Year.
"It's a lot of conditioning right now," Waas said in reference to the Cardinals practices. "Some of the kids came in, in a little bit better shape than the others after the summer, but we're just about up to speed, so we're looking forward to what they can do when we start racing."
Last season then-freshmen Caleb Capozella and Joanna Ladas both won the conference's Swimmer and Rookie of the Year awards. It was quite a way for those first-year standouts to finish their seasons and Waas is very excited about the talent level of this year's crop of newcomers.
"They've looked great so far," Waas said. "We've got six freshmen women and five freshmen men. Some of them are ready to contribute at a very high level right off the bat, so we're excited about that, and we're excited about the potential of some of the others who don't have as much experience."
Coming off of a season in which his team accomplished a number of its goals, Waas said the Cardinals look at this year as entirely new.
"Building on it is one idea, another idea is that every year is a brand new team. We've got a lot of returners, but the freshmen, and the dynamic will always change, so it's about finding this team's identity and working as hard as we can towards being the best team we can be this year."
While next week's meets are unscored, Waas will be closely watching to see how his team performs and then re-evaluate things before moving forward with the rest of the season.
"Next weekend is a great opportunity for us to just get in and see where we are. We get to swim every individual event that you would swim at a three-day conference championship style meet, so we get to see where we are."
He added, "We're ready to get racing. The meets are a lot of fun and they get to show you all the hard work you've put in. We've got three weeks of practice under our belts, next week it'll be four, and after a month of practices, the kids are ready for meets and we're excited for them."
The meet on Friday, the 14th will get underway beginning at 5 p.m., while Saturday's action begins at noon.
See what else Waas had to say regarding the upcoming season down below.

Times Union staff writer Christen Gowan is reporting that a Lexington man is facing animal cruelty charges for the third time after State Police allegedly found five malnourished horses on his farm.
Officials from the Columbia-Greene Humane Society say they will watch the rest of the horses and remove them if they begin to deteriorate.
This was the third time Mr. Hidaka has been arrested on animal cruelty charges. Hidaka was arrested last December and in April by State Police for improper shelter for his horses and inadequate food. He faces nine counts of animal cruelty, which carries up to one year in jail.
Read the full story here.
Over in Rensselaer County, WNYT is reporting that animal carcasses have been found buried in property owned by a part-time animal control officer in the town of Hoosick.
The story says he had been arrested in March, accused of stealing two dogs from a woman.

UK data suggesting significant Q1 GDP slowdown
The preliminary first-quarter GDP estimate to be released on Friday 28 April may show a quarterly increase of only 0.3-0.4%, while revised data to be issued in late May could upgrade the fourth-quarter rise from 0.7% to 0.8%. The 8 June general election, therefore, may take place against the background of a halving of reported quarterly growth.
A post in early March suggested that GDP would rise by 0.4-0.5% in the first quarter – below a Bank of England staff projection of 0.6% at the time of the March MPC meeting. Subsequent data have, on balance, been weaker than expected then. Services turnover, in particular, was soft in February, suggesting little if any growth in output – see chart. Retail sales volume, meanwhile, fell by 1.8% between February and March, implying a negative impact of 0.1% on monthly GDP. (The sales volume series is used to measure retail distribution output, which has a 5.6% weight in GDP.)
Fourth-quarter GDP growth is currently estimated at 0.7%, with a revision scheduled to be issued on 25 May. A recent upgrade to quarterly services turnover growth suggests that the increase in services output will be revised higher, raising the possibility that GDP growth will move up to 0.8%. (Note that official data already show non-oil GDP growth of 0.8% in the fourth quarter.)
Previous research here suggested that GDP numbers have little impact on voting intentions – the key economic drivers were found to be average earnings growth, the unemployment rate, retail price inflation, house price inflation and Bank rate. A big GDP slowdown, however, would garner media attention and could fuel some voters' suspicions that Prime Minister May has called an early election in anticipation of Brexit-related economic weakness later in 2017 and in 2018.
