The way Ron Gettelfinger sees it, the United Auto Workers union was not trying to bail Visteon Corp. out of its troubles by agreeing to a restructuring plan calling for Ford Motor Co. to take control of 14 UAW-represented component plants.
The union was looking for a way to preserve 17,400 jobs before Visteon was forced into potential bankruptcy protection, the UAW president says.
"We were trying to salvage jobs for 17,400 of our members from a corporation that was on the verge of collapse," Gettelfinger tells Ward's in an interview. "These people were in a situation where had we not done something we could have possibly faced a closure."
Gettelfinger praises Ford for "stepping up to the plate" to help its largest supplier remain viable for the long term.
"I think a lot of employers would not have done that, and I very much appreciate that fact," he says. "They have gone full stretch to try and help us rectify this situation and get these plants back into becoming viable operations."
While praising Ford, Gettelfinger was more critical of Visteon top brass, saying they failed to live up to their promises to make additional investments at a number of plants in return for the union agreeing to a lower, 2-tier wage system in May 2004.
"Visteon has not invested in those facilities and they allowed them, I think intentionally, to deteriorate," he says. "It feels like they felt they had the best of both worlds and Ford would always be there to bail them out."
Visteon Chairman and CEO Michael Johnston says the facilities in question were under constant pressure to achieve efficiency gains, both under Ford and Visteon ownership.
"Ford was improving them every year and we continued to do that," Johnston says. "If you look at the metrics of things like launch performance or quality or any normal efficiency metrics, there has been continuous improvement throughout and I would expect that culture would continue as they (the facilities) move back (to Ford ownership)."
Under the new agreement, which was ratified by affected UAW members June 5, two Visteon plants (Sterling Heights, MI, and Rawsonville, MI) will return to Ford, while the remainder will be transferred to a limited liability company (LLC) controlled by the auto maker.
All employees at the 14 UAW plants will be covered under the UAW's master agreement with Ford, as opposed to the Visteon pact. The shift means up to 900 employees hired within the past year under the 2-tier wage pact now will be paid higher Ford wages and benefits.
"They will fall under the master agreement," Gettelfinger says. "They have become Ford employees."
The new pact also calls for the new employees to have full "flow-back" rights to any Ford facility. This provision provides the new Ford employees with preferential status when a position opens up at any UAW-represented plant within the Ford manufacturing system.
Ford also is required to pay employees of plants covered under the LLC at UAW-Ford master agreement wage rates until those employees retire. When the plants are sold, Ford may have to pay a differential to each employee to keep them at the wage rates outlined in its agreement with the UAW.
The union will object to any attempt by Ford to renegotiate the wage structure for employees covered under the LLC when the auto maker and the union return to the bargaining table in 2007.
"As far as I am concerned, that is off-limits," Gettelfinger says.
The union chief voiced disgust with reports that Visteon paid former Chairman and CEO Peter Pestillo more than $4.28 million in total compensation in 2004, along with $4.16 million in total compensation to Johnston.
"Hell no, we're not happy with that," Gettelfinger says. "Executive compensation is atrocious in this country, and it's going to be more and more of an issue."
The union also says Visteon has paid steep bonuses to retain some executives and to others that have recently left or joined the company.
Johnston tells Ward's bonuses are paid based on the company's financial performance, and that Visteon executive compensation levels are decided with the help of two outside consultants that benchmark against competitive companies.
"When you add up the totals of where we should be, given the performance that we're experiencing, we haven't paid any incentive bonuses for I think three years and we won't unless we hit certain (financial) objectives," Johnston says.

Wait... I don't know...
Like... SURGERY, surgery?
Am I... big enough for that?
I, much like most people that struggle with their weight, feel like I've done EEEVVVVEEERRRRYYYYTTTTHHHIINNNNGGGGGGG to try to lose weight.
Diet and Exercise?
Personal Trainers?
And all of this started when I was maybe 12 years old? I always felt big. When I look back at pictures from high school, I don't think I look big at all, but I was bigger than the other girls and that's all that mattered. So I started dieting early in life. My weight was always on my mind. I went to Weight Watchers for the first time when I was 15. And it has never. freaking. ended.
I was mildly successful using several of these tactics. Weight watchers helped me lose 40, then gain back all of it. Then I lost 18, then I gained back all and more. Most recently I gained 10 pounds over a 3 month attempt (screw you, Jennifer Hudson.) (No I like you, I'm sorry. Just... WHAT DID I DO WRONG?!).
I had an awesome trainer that got me nice and tight and fit and lookin good... but I didn't lose an ounce by working out. I lost everything while I was doing HCG. I lost 60 pounds.
And then I gained - like... 90 back.
I had a nutritionist put me on an all egg diet for 2 weeks.
1) don't do this. Cholesterol is not to be messed with.
2) I lost like, 3 pounds because do you know how nasty it is to eat eggs all day every day? Gross.
I've subscribed to the EAT LESS YOU'LL LOSE WEIGHT mantra. I've subscribed to the YOU CAN'T LOSE WEIGHT IF YOU'RE HUNGRY ALL THE TIME mantra. I've subscribed to the 6 SMALL MEALS A DAY matra.
And cue - I've now destroyed my metabolism. I'm burning like, 800 calories a day when the average person burns like 1500 a day. Just. Humaning. Just living and breathing. Not even working out. Just for sitting in a chair and breathing, they burn almost double what I now burn.
But it's the reality I am now faced with.
At my highest, I currently weigh 272 pounds.
I can't even believe that's real. Like. Seriously.
Something I should mention - I don't carry my weight the way most people my weight carry it. I consider myself lucky that I carry it in my hips and boobs, but also just kind of all over. Don't get me wrong - I look big. I am big. I am a big girl. But I wear between a size 14 and a size 16. I can shop at stores that sell "average" sized clothing (I just can't bring myself to say normal sized because... ugh... what does that even MEAN?!).
So before I decided to have this surgery, I obviously had a loooooot of trouble losing weight. I convinced myself that I had a thyroid issue. What else could it possibly be?! I've done EVERYTHING.
So I made an appointment with a Gastroenterologist and had her do a bunch of tests.
Yeah, apparently I'm the most healthy human on the planet.
All of my labs came back normal. Not just normal, but they each hit directly in the center of the range that they should have been in for my demographic. So... not my thyroid...
I tried Victoza for 6 weeks. I lost zero pounds.
So that's when the opening conversation happened with my doctor...
"Would you... consider... bariatric surgery?"
So I did some research. I attended the seminar at NYU to learn about the options - Lap Band, Gastric Bypass, Vertical Gastric Sleeve.
I had myself completely convinced that I should be doing the Lap Band. My Gastroenterologist said she thought I needed something more drastic. But what did she know?! I wanted the least invasive, easiest to recover from, most impermanent option around.
And then this weird thing happened. The more I researched, the more I read, the more people I heard from, the more I changed my mind. For starters...
"Let's talk about which would fit best into your life"
Wait. What?
Which would fit best into MY life? I get a say? I'm not trying to conform to the solution for weigh loss? We're trying to consider my human component?
There is a LOT of guilt and shame associated with being overweight. You may not even realize how much you feel. I didn't. But there's a lot of pressure to make yourself conform. And when you don't - when the weight loss program doesn't work, or you gain weight back, or you start having to shop at the big girl stores, or whatever - you feel bad. You feel ashamed that you couldn't do it. Because when thin people need to lose a couple pounds to look good in that bikini for the summer, they try for like 2 weeks and they're good to go. You try for two weeks and it's like "WHAT?! I GAINED 3 pounds?! How?!" And you know all of that "water weight" "eat less salt" "muscle weighs more than fat" crap does NOT resonate at a time like that.
So the idea that I was making a decision that would both help me lose weight, but that was meant to work with me as the person that I am was... liberating! Freeing! Shocking! Emotional! Cray-cray!
A little (more) background on me - I'm an event planner. I travel. I eat. I drink. All for my job. I'm paid to do these things. Which adds to the struggle of losing weight. Because nothing says "I'm not eating right" like 10 days straight on airport/hotel/restaurant food paid for by the company...
So I discovered that the lap band had some draw-backs for people like me.
1) the band can tighten due to air pressure when you fly
2) Just because something digests without issue today, does not mean that it will work as well next week... or tomorrow...
3) "band sick" is real, and could have me running to the bathroom a lot because something isn't staying down.
Basically, the band wasn't going to work with my LIFESTYLE (it's crazy how crazy of a concept that is to me, but... I digress).
I decided on the VGS pretty quickly after that. It was between the bypass and the sleeve, but the sleeve is less invasive, but still would change the hormones and way that I digest food. it would limit my portion sizes (a huge plus for me, as I tend to eat pretty healthy, just too much for my sad little metabolism). But I can eat most normal foods, which works for my job. I just... won't be able to eat very much of them. Which I am just fine with!
So... the process of setting up surgery. After attending the seminar in June/July, I left with a lot of information, and a long list of things I needed to compile before meeting with the surgeon for the first time. I made my first (and I think only... so far...) mistake by not booking with the surgeon while I worked on compiling everything. It can take a month or more to get an appointment - they are very busy and important. So by August I had all of my past medical records compiled, but then had to wait until September to meet with the surgeon.
My first trip to the surgeon went quickly. I spoke to a nurse about my process to that point, and what I was thinking. He basically told me that I would be a good candidate for any of the procedures because I am young (awww... blushing... I'm 31. I'm not that young.) and healthy (meaning I don't have any blood pressure, diabetes, etc. issues due to the weight and I'm not on any medication.) Then I met with the surgeon.
I love her.
I told her all about my struggle with my weight and weight loss. I told her about my lifestyle. She agreed that surgery was a good option for me. But she didn't know which she wanted to recommend. So she asked me to come back in a month. I very much appreciated that she wasn't in a rush. That she wanted to take the time to think this through and decide what was best for me (again, a foreign concept.)
Then I met with her surgical coordinator. She gave me a whole list of things i needed to compile for her:
- Blood work-up from my panel done at the Gastroenterologist's office
- Letter of recommendation from my PCP
- A few more notes from my medically supervised weigh loss attempts*
- Psych Evaluation
- Nutritional Evaluation
*For my insurance, I was required to prove 7 consecutive months of medically supervised weigh loss attempts. I had, like, 2 years worth. So I was covered. Insurance companies and practices differ, so just make sure you follow whatever they need. I had a relatively easy time getting everything together because I basically had everything done already. Unfortunately, some have a harder time, or have to go through 7 months of the medically supervised weigh loss attempt before they can schedule surgery. Just make sure you are asking questions and staying on top of what you need.
So I took the next month. I did some more research. I got all of the above together. And I came back.
I did NOT see this happening so fast.
I went in expecting to talk to the surgeon about my decision. Figure out next steps. HOPEFULLY schedule surgery before the end of the year.
I told her what I was thinking. She agreed. She sent me to the surgical coordinator to give her the rest of the stuff that I had compiled. And do you know what that lovely surgical coordinator said to me?
"Ok, so let's get this on the calendar. How does.... November 3rd look to you? I have the 3rd or the 5th."
(My face)
That was a full 18 days from Friday. 18 days?!?!?!
So I said ok, let's do it. I need to get a pre-op authorization from my PCP and an agency within the hospital. I need to have an endoscopy to make sure my stomach is healthy enough to heal from the surgery. And that's like... it.
Oh wait.
That's not it.
Today I start a 2 week liquid only diet - and no, I can't have booze. Which is like... my favorite thing.
So I can still have coffee (thank. God.) I need to drink 5 or 6 protein shakes a day (less than 35 grams of fat per day, around 1000 calories per day, and at least 50 grams of protein per day). I can eat some vegetables and chicken broth (hellooooo dinner! ugh.)
This is so the liver is less fatty for the surgery and makes the stomach easier to see, get to... whatever it is they need during surgery.
So I think this brings us current. My plans is to use this blog to track my thoughts, experiences, feelings, things I learn along the way... etc.
I'll also post before and after pictures.
Like this!
Here's my starting picture...
It's me!
This picture makes me sad. Because I think I look cute, and I think if I saw me on the street I would think I looked cute. But I also think I would think "that poor girl... I bet she just wants to lose weight so bad". I could be projecting. So this will be the picture I use to compare to pictures as I progress.
Ok. Here we go!


text: Hello folks. I've found that using callout_stop() frequently in a given routine causes corruption of the callwheel structure, resulting in a kernel panic at some point. this is under 1.6.1. Although I'm not sure exactly how it happens, as I don't see anything obviously wrong, if you setup a callout function, by calling callout_init() and callout_reset(), if you don't call callout_reset() from the function which gets executed in the callout call, or, if you call callout_stop() before the timer fires, your callout structure doesn't get taken off of the execution queue before the function pointer in it is Nullified. This seems to happen if either your callout function doesn't call callout_reset() explicitly, or if you call callout_stop() to try and keep your function from being executed. another side effect of this is that, if you do as I did and put a diagnostic printf in softclock() to prevent a panic, you'll discover that jobs you didn't want deleted are taken off of the execution queue. I found that schedcpu() regularly fell off the task list. However, it turned out that anyone who happened to be sharing a callwheel bucket with my ill-fated function, would get forgotten, even as my nullified callout stayed on the queue. I can't tell, at the moment, if the problem is with the queue macros, or with some locking in the callwheel algorithm. Has anyone else seen this behavior, or some strangeness with queues in other contexts? (I've applied the patches from Havard's Kern/20390 bug, in case anyone asks.) If anyone has seen this problem, or thinks they've seen something related to it, I'd be interested. -Brian

Lee Westwood launched his Andalucian Open title defence with a flawless 65 yesterday but his effort was almost eclipsed by Danny Willett, the world's No1 amateur, who marked his first appearance on the European tour with a 66 which included two eagles in his opening seven holes.
The 20-year-old from Sheffield, who jumped to the top of the amateur rankings with victory in the Spanish championship this month, teed up for a first professional start thanks to a sponsor's invitation. The clergyman's son, with his fireman brother carrying his clubs, finished on six under, level with the Norwegian Jan-Are Larsen and one shot behind Westwood.
"I'm due to fly out next week to represent England against Australia and hope to return to Oz for the Eisenhower world team event in October, then try to qualify at the European Tour school. I might have a go for the US school too," he said. Victory here, becoming only the second amateur to win on the tour, would mean an instant card. "You can't think about it on the course but it's in the back of my head. I'd be stupid not to turn pro straight away."
Willett won a scholarship to Jacksonville State University in Alabama but quit last year to concentrate on tournament golf. Victory in the second round of the British amateur championship over his Walker Cup team-mate Rory McIlroy, who turned pro after finishing as the top amateur in the Open at Carnoustie last July, helped convince him it was the right decision.
"My dad [Stephen], who is the vicar of Hackenthorpe in Sheffield, caddied for me as a boy but he stopped after telling me to hit through some trees. I took about 10," said Willett. Yesterday he settled his nerves with a 25ft eagle putt on his first hole, the 561yd 10th, then scored another at the 526yd 16th to turn in 31.
The 18-year-old McIlroy, who had missed successive cuts in Dubai, Malaysia and South Korea, enjoyed a fine day himself, shooting a 68 when the wind was much stronger after lunch. "I'm not surprised Danny's up there," the Ulsterman said. "I practised with him on Tuesday and from 130 yards in he was stiffing it."
Westwood, who claimed his first win for four years in the 2007 event, was also out in 31. But he insisted: "I came from seven behind [last year] after an opening 72 - someone else could do that this year. But I'm playing really well and putting much better after my dad videoed my action and we changed my grip a fraction. Today's round has boosted my confidence for the US Masters. Winning again would be a bonus."

Just talked to Garmon. He's gone.
Just talked to Garmon. He's gone.
He's a believer.
But hopefully not to Iowa St, Indiana, Illinois or Idaho…
How long until AIRBHG is used as a recruiting tool against Iowa?
I heard Jerry Kill was spotted walking into a recruits house wearing the AIRBHG T-shirt.
Thing is, I actually believe that.
Rittenberg referenced it in ESPN's article about the transfer. It was actually smart of him to leave before AIRBHG gets him, too.
I don't believe in curses, but I do believe in trends and probabilities. There is something flawed in that program.
at this point it's just laughable
It's past that. To where I don't know.
good for that young man....got out with all his ligaments in tact (for the most part). AIRBHG is Ruthless...will they ever have a good running back again?
You can't just leave and expect everything to be better...
at Iowa with rbs???
Hm, I do not know. It does seem kind of weird that many Iowa RBs get injured, arrested, or transfer. It is almost like there is a god that is angry that hates Iowa running backs.
Yes, there is no place on this board for religion and such things, please keep that to yourself.
To answer your question - I don't know if it has a name, but I'm sure it's a fucking democrat.
I find it much more likely that AIRBHG would belong to a ruthlessly-efficient but malignantly-inclined political party than a well-meaning but frustratingly ineffective one.
I like your style, EGD.
...that there really ought to be an elegant acronym of some kind. GTIATHIRB?
Garmon was a guy I really liked coming out of high school. Too bad it didn't work out for him.
I always read it as AIRBAG.
...and now I do...thanks
I ways read it as AIRHAG. Which I find pretty funny.
the wrath of AIRBHG knows no bounds.
Certainly can't blame Garmon for this call. He clearly knows the score, and is trying to get out of Iowa before permanent damage is done.
I just always figured Ferentz ran his RB through a knee high dong forest for the duration of practice.
This should have gone into the posbang thread, because it would've had a serious chance at winning.
Garmon wanted playing time and was stuck way down the depth charts.
Iowa running back depth chart is an oxymoron.
I believe the correct phasing you're looking for is "Garmon wanted playing time in an offense that is not equivalent to what he leaves in the toilet bowl each morning, and was stuck in such an offense that was equivalent to what he leaves in the toilet bowl each monrning."
Iowa has a depth chart at running back?
To try and protect his players, Ferentz just writes random names down on it--and then unfortunate things keep happening to people in Iowa City with names like "John Doe" and "Joe Smith."
Looks a little something like this...
"Running backs leave Iowa and they either succeed or they fall off the face of the earth. However, the only thing that remains common is that Iowa can't keep them to save their lives." - RantSports article
It seems pretty clear, based on a decade of data collection that, once touched by the Hawkeye, you take your chances wherever you go if you're an RB. Garmon is surely embarking on a perilous life quest. Garmon should perhaps see himself as lucky that AIRBHG only planted in his mind the idea to transfer and seek fortunes elsewhere...for the time being anyway.
That being said, he is pretty talented and looked good in limited action but ended up behind Weisman and Bullock, so I wonder if it is a playing time issue or a foreseen lack thereof.
"You guys tell me, but I don't think Garmon really fit the zone scheme". Really? I don't think beggers can be choosers at this point.
Iowa needs to pull a Constanza and start doing the opposite of what they normally do with RBs. Only then will they build decent depth.
But they don't need to - their running game never actually gets worse. They just plug in their latest walk-on from off the street and next thing you know, he's picking up 3rd and 6 on the ground.
Iowa was 106th in rushing offense this year.
You have to account for the GERG factor here.
Iowa, in spite of all the injuries, transfers and GERG Davis, gained more rush yards from its tailbacks than we did. Mark Weisman, a walk-on, averaged five yards a carry!
OK, but that's not a fair comparison because a lot of our rushing went through Denard. Sure, when you take away a team's best rusher, a lot of teams will be better than them.
Fair enough, but he was at 3.5 for the non-Minnesota Big Ten. Didn't exactly set the conference on fire.
Haven't they been trying to not get hurt.
Are you suggesting they should try to get hurt?
This is the same man who scoffed at AIRBHG in March, right? The poor fool. AIRBHG will always have his revenge in the end.
I be like dang.
He'd probably just transfer out to Wiscy for his final year anyway. But, on the other hand, who doesn't ?
in Fayetteville if he needs laser removal of a Hawkeye tatt. Oh, and he needs a RB once Kniles leaves.
We lost our starting running back in the first quarter against Iowa.
Thus I, for one, do not wish to mock the great AIRBGH, lest we feel his wrath again.
Seriously. We need to go 5-wide all game long against Iowa next year, just to be safe.
That does nothing. One of our RBs on the sideline will probably get arrested or come down with mono or something.
Good point. But fortunately next year's Iowa game is on the road, so we can leave our RBs in A2 (wearing sprigs of garlic around their necks and watching the game on TV from inside a chalk pentagram).
Is gonna be the plot of Final Destination 8
This has all the makings of a Final Destination movie. You can try to flee, but AIRBHG will come calling.
This AIRBHG is as frightening as: A large rock
That they had a million injuries...yet Garmon still didn't start or play THAT much.
After the starter (Bullock) got injured in the Northern Illinois game, Garmon went in and also got got injured immediately after.
Of course we're in the same division with the cursed ones. Of course. Playing in their stadium could spread their bad energy to us!
You think AIRBHG is singing take a take a take a take a Garmon?
Remember the linebacker in the movie, Elvin Mack? He got his leg broken vs Iowa in the movie, and in my irrelevant opinion, he is behind AIRBHG...taking his revenge, ACL by ACL

More weirdness from the Craig camp…
U.S. Sen. Larry Craig says he might reconsider his decision to resign if he clears his name in his arrest for disorderly conduct in a restroom sex scandal.
That's why Craig chose his words carefully during his resignation speech Saturday in Boise, according to a voice mail message he mistakenly left on a stranger's phone. In the message obtained by the Capitol Hill newspaper Roll Call, Craig tells a man named "Billy†that his choice of language is deliberate because it leaves the door open for him to stay in office.
Craig made the call just minutes before his speech.
"We have reshaped my statement a little bit to say it is my intent to resign on Sept. 30,†Craig said. "I think it is important for you to make as bold a statement as you are comfortable with this afternoon, and I would hope you could make it in front of the cameras. I think it would help drive the story that I'm willing to fight, that I've got quality people out there fighting in my defense, and that this thing could take a new turn or a new shape, it has that potential.â€
Can you believe that? He left a voicemail message about his "plans" on a stranger's phone? I don't know about you, but when I'm scheming for a political comeback, I'm going to make sure I'm dialing the right number.
He's so done it's not even funny…

Asalamualaykum Sheikh Gibril Hadad,
I've have read your beautiful book about Fazailon Shamm Shareef. I had a question about the hadith of the rising of the horn of the devil etc. Now in that hadith it mentions karn which is referring to the horn etc. But when I checked in the dictionary, the literal meaning is a century 9/10ths. And another hadith about the Muslims will not go without a khilafa every 100 years. Now according to my weak knowledge I wanted to ask and confirm that since Wahabis have took over since last khilafa and the hadith which another meaning maybe karn, century according to calculation. Is it possible that when Saudi came in power 1930ish, 100years from then leads to Imam ul Mahdi in 2022. Due to them being the next khalifaa who we all await.
Alaykum Salam,
The Holy Prophet (upon him blessings and peace) said "the sun rises every day between the two qarn of shaytan." So the meaning of qarn al shaytan = horn, face-side in the hadith of Najd is clearly the literal meaning. Yet what you mentioned is also acceptable, but as a secondary meaning, according to the hadith "the best of people is my qarn, then those that follow them" etc. Where qarn means period or century; yet, still, not literally but figuratively.
And Allah knows best.
Hajj Gibril Haddad

Atalanta Coach Stefano Colantuono slammed "snobs" in the crowd who jeer their own players. "They can stay at home."
The Orobici host Cagliari at the Stadio Azzurri d'Italia at 14.00 GMT, click here for a match preview [12].
"Our rivals in the race for safety have strengthened, so we've got to be wary," said the Coach in his Press conference.
"This is an important match against Cagliari although, like with Catania, it is not a decisive one. The Sardinians are not to be underestimated, as they have a consolidated group of players even without Radja Nainggolan.
"The fact Mauricio Pinilla is suspended could work in our favour."
Colantuono snapped at the murmurs coming from the stands in Bergamo, particularly those aimed at Franco Brienza.
"I invite the four or five snobs who always insult Brienza to just stay at home. They have every right to voice their opinion, but only after the game and not before he even gets a touch, otherwise they make it even more difficult for the player.
"I was happy with our performance in the Coppa Italia defeat to Napoli, especially as there were some players who hadn't featured yet this season."

In mid-1943, the Allied command in the Pacific began Operation Cartwheel, which was designed to isolate the Japanese base at Rabaul on New Britain. The key elements of Cartwheel involved Allied forces under General Douglas MacArthur pushing across northeastern New Guinea, while naval forces secured the Solomon Islands to the east. Rather than engage sizable Japanese garrisons, these operations were designed to cut them off and let them "wither on the vine." This approach of bypassing Japanese strong points, such as Truk, was applied on a large scale as the Allies devised their strategy for moving across the central Pacific. Known as "island hopping," U.S. forces moved from island to island, using each as a base for capturing the next. As the island hopping campaign began, MacArthur continued his push in New Guinea while other Allied troops were engaged in clearing the Japanese from the Aleutians.

Battle of Tarawa

The initial move of the island hopping campaign came in the Gilbert Islands when U.S. forces struck Tarawa Atoll. The capture of the island was necessary as it would allow the Allies to move on to the Marshall Islands and then the Marianas. Understanding its importance, Admiral Keiji Shibazaki, Tarawa's commander, and his 4,800-men garrison heavily fortified the island. On November 20, 1943, Allied warships opened fire on Tarawa and carrier aircraft began striking targets across the atoll. Around 9:00 a.m., the 2nd Marine Division began coming ashore. Their landings were hampered by a reef 500 yards offshore that prevented many landing craft from reaching the beach.

After overcoming these difficulties, the Marines were able to push inland, though the advance was slow. Around noon, the Marines were finally able to penetrate the first line of Japanese defenses with the assistance of several tanks that had come ashore. Over the next three days, US forces succeeded in taking the island after brutal fighting and fanatical resistance from the Japanese. In the battle, U.S. forces lost 1,001 killed and 2,296 wounded. Of the Japanese garrison, only seventeen Japanese soldiers remained alive at the end of the fighting along with 129 Korean laborers.

Kwajalein & Eniwetok

Using the lessons learned at Tarawa, U.S. forces advanced into the Marshall Islands. The first target in the chain was Kwajalein. Beginning on January 31, 1944, the islands of the atoll were pummeled by naval and aerial bombardments. Additionally, efforts were made to secure adjacent small islands for use as artillery fire bases to support the main Allied effort. These were followed by landings carried out by the 4th Marine Division and the 7th Infantry Division. These attacks easily overran the Japanese defenses and the atoll was secured by February 3. As at Tarawa, the Japanese garrison fought to nearly the last man, with only 105 of nearly 8,000 defenders surviving.

As US amphibious forces sailed northwest to attack Eniwetok, the American aircraft carriers were moving to strike the Japanese anchorage at Truk Atoll. A principal Japanese base, US planes struck the airfields and ships at Truk on February 17-18, sinking three light cruisers, six destroyers, over twenty-five merchantmen, and destroying 270 aircraft. As Truk was burning, Allied troops began landing at Eniwetok. Focusing on three of the atoll's islands, the effort saw the Japanese mount a tenacious resistance and utilize a variety of concealed positions. Despite this, the islands of the atoll were captured on February 23 after a brief but sharp battle. With the Gilberts and Marshalls secure, U.S. commanders began planning for the invasion of the Marianas.

Saipan & the Battle of the Philippine Sea

Comprised primarily of the islands of Saipan, Guam, and Tinian, the Marianas were coveted by the Allies as airfields that would place the home islands of Japan within range of bombers such as the B-29 Superfortress. At 7:00 a.m. on June 15, 1944, U.S. forces led by Marine Lieutenant General Holland Smith's V Amphibious Corps began landing on Saipan after a heavy naval bombardment. The naval component of the invasion force was overseen by Vice Admiral Richmond Kelly Turner. To cover Turner and Smith's forces, Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, Commander-in-Chief of the US Pacific Fleet, dispatched Admiral Raymond Spruance's 5th US Fleet along with the carriers of Vice Admiral Marc Mitscher's Task Force 58. Fighting their way ashore, Smith's men met determined resistance from 31,000 defenders commanded by Lieutenant General Yoshitsugu Saito.

Understanding the importance of the islands, Admiral Soemu Toyoda, commander of the Japanese Combined Fleet, dispatched Vice Admiral Jisaburo Ozawa to the area with five carriers to engage the U.S. fleet. The result of Ozawa's arrival was the Battle of the Philippine Sea, which pitted his fleet against seven American carriers led by Spruance and Mitscher. Fought June 19-20, American aircraft sank the carrier Hiyo, while the submarines USS Albacore and USS Cavalla sank the carriers Taiho and Shokaku. In the air, American aircraft downed over 600 Japanese aircraft while only losing 123 of their own. The aerial battle proved so one-sided that US pilots referred to it as "The Great Marianas Turkey Shoot." With only two carriers and 35 aircraft remaining, Ozawa retreated west, leaving the Americans in firm control of the skies and waters around the Marianas.

On Saipan, the Japanese fought tenaciously and slowly retreated into the island's mountains and caves. U.S. troops gradually forced the Japanese out by employing a mix of flamethrowers and explosives. As the Americans advanced, the island's civilians, who had been convinced that the Allies were barbarians, began a mass suicide, jumping from the island's cliffs. Lacking supplies, Saito organized a final banzai attack for July 7. Beginning at dawn, it lasted over fifteen hours and overran two American battalions before it was contained and defeated. Two days later, Saipan was declared secure. The battle was the costliest to date for American forces with 14,111 casualties. Almost the entire Japanese garrison of 31,000 was killed, including Saito, who took his own life.

Guam & Tinian

With Saipan taken, U.S. forces moved down the chain, coming ashore on Guam on July 21. Landing with 36,000 men, the 3rd Marine Division and 77th Infantry Division drove the 18,500 Japanese defenders north until the island was secured on August 8. As on Saipan, the Japanese largely fought to the death and only 485 prisoners were taken. As fighting was occurring on Guam, American troops landed on Tinian. Coming ashore on July 24, the 2nd and 4th Marine Divisions took the island after six days of combat. Though the island was declared secure, several hundred Japanese held out in the Tinian's jungles for months. With the Marianas taken, construction began on massive airbases from which raids against Japan would be launched.

Competing Strategies & Peleliu

With the Marianas secured, competing strategies for moving forward arose from the two principal U.S. leaders in the Pacific. Admiral Chester Nimitz advocated bypassing the Philippines in favor of capturing Formosa and Okinawa. These would then be used as bases for attacking the Japanese home islands. This plan was countered by General Douglas MacArthur, who wished to fulfill his promise to return to the Philippines as well as land on Okinawa. After a lengthy debate involving President Roosevelt, MacArthur's plan was chosen. The first step in liberating the Philippines was the capture of Peleliu in the Palau Islands. Planning for invading the island had already begun as its capture was required in both Nimitz and MacArthur's plans.

On September 15, the 1st Marine Division stormed ashore. They were later reinforced by the 81st Infantry Division, which had captured the nearby island of Anguar. While planners had originally thought that the operation would take several days, it ultimately took over two months to secure the island as its 11,000 defenders retreated into the jungle and mountains. Utilizing a system of interconnected bunkers, strong points, and caves, Colonel Kunio Nakagawa's garrison exacted a heavy toll on the attackers and the Allied effort soon became a bloody grinding affair. On November 25, 1944, after weeks of brutal fighting that killed 2,336 Americans and 10,695 Japanese, Peleliu was declared secure.

Battle of Leyte Gulf

After extensive planning, Allied forces arrived off the island of Leyte in the eastern Philippines on October 20, 1944. That day, Lieutenant General Walter Krueger's U.S. Sixth Army began moving ashore. To counter the landings, the Japanese threw their remaining naval strength against the Allied fleet. To accomplish their goal, Toyoda dispatched Ozawa with four carriers (Northern Force) to lure Admiral William "Bull" Halsey's U.S. Third Fleet away from the landings on Leyte. This would allow three separate forces (Center Force and two units comprising Southern Force) to approach from the west to attack and destroy the U.S. landings at Leyte. The Japanese would be opposed by Halsey's Third Fleet and Admiral Thomas C. Kinkaid's Seventh Fleet.

The battle that ensued, known as the Battle of Leyte Gulf, was the largest naval battle in history and consisted of four primary engagements. In the first engagement on October 23-24, the Battle of the Sibuyan Sea, Vice Admiral Takeo Kurita's Center Force was attacked by American submarines and aircraft losing a battleship, Musashi, and two cruisers along with several others damaged. Kurita retreated out of range of U.S. aircraft but returned to his original course that evening. In the battle, the escort carrier USS Princeton (CVL-23) was sunk by land-based bombers.

On the night of the 24th, part of the Southern Force led by Vice Admiral Shoji Nishimura entered the Surigao Straight where they were attacked by 28 Allied destroyers and 39 PT boats. These light forces attacked relentlessly and inflicted torpedo hits on two Japanese battleships and sank four destroyers. As the Japanese pushed north through the straight, they encountered the six battleships (many of the Pearl Harbor veterans) and eight cruisers of the 7th Fleet Support Force led by Rear Admiral Jesse Oldendorf. Crossing the Japanese "T", Oldendorf's ships opened fired at 3:16 AM and immediately began scoring hits on the enemy. Utilizing radar fire control systems, Oldendorf's line inflicted heavy damage on the Japanese and sank two battleships and a heavy cruiser. The accurate American gunfire then forced the remainder of Nishimura's squadron to withdraw.

At 4:40 PM on the 24th, Halsey's scouts located Ozawa's Northern Force. Believing that Kurita was retreating, Halsey signaled Admiral Kinkaid that he was moving north to pursue the Japanese carriers. By doing so, Halsey was leaving the landings unprotected. Kinkaid was not aware of this as he believed Halsey had left one carrier group to cover the San Bernardino Straight. On the 25th, U.S. aircraft began pummeling Ozawa's force in the Battle of Cape Engaño. While Ozawa did launch a strike of around 75 aircraft against Halsey, this force was largely destroyed and inflicted no damage. By the end of the day, all four of Ozawa's carriers had been sunk. As the battle was concluding, Halsey was informed that the situation off Leyte was critical. Soemu's plan had worked. By Ozawa drawing away Halsey's carriers, the path through the San Bernardino Strait was left open for Kurita's Center Force to pass through to attack the landings.

Breaking off his attacks, Halsey began steaming south at full speed. Off Samar (just north of Leyte), Kurita's force encountered the 7th Fleet's escort carriers and destroyers. Launching their planes, the escort carriers began to flee, while the destroyers valiantly attacked Kurita's much superior force. As the melee was turning in favor of the Japanese, Kurita broke off after realizing that he was not attacking Halsey's carriers and that the longer he lingered, the more likely he was to be attacked by American aircraft. Kurita's retreat effectively ended the battle. The Battle of Leyte Gulf marked the last time the Imperial Japanese Navy would conduct large-scale operations during the war.

Return to the Philippines

With the Japanese defeated at sea, MacArthur's forces pushed east across Leyte, supported by the Fifth Air Force. Fighting through rough terrain and wet weather, they then moved north onto the neighboring island of Samar. On December 15, Allied troops landed on Mindoro and met little resistance. After consolidating their position on Mindoro, the island was used as a staging area for the invasion of Luzon. This took place on January 9, 1945, when Allied forces landed at Lingayen Gulf on the island's northwest coast. Within a few days, over 175,000 men came ashore, and soon MacArthur was advancing on Manila. Moving quickly, Clark Field, Bataan, and Corregidor were retaken and pincers closed around Manila. After heavy fighting, the capital was liberated on March 3. On April 17, the Eighth Army landed on Mindanao, the second largest island in the Philippines. Fighting would continue on Luzon and Mindanao until the end of the war.

Battle of Iwo Jima

Located on the route from the Marianas to Japan, Iwo Jima provided the Japanese with airfields and an early warning station for detecting American bombing raids. Considered one of the home islands, Lt. General Tadamichi Kuribayashi prepared his defenses in depth, constructing a vast array of interlocking fortified positions connected by a large network of underground tunnels. For the Allies, Iwo Jima was desirable as an intermediate airbase, as well as a staging area for the invasion of Japan.

At 2:00 a.m. on February 19, 1945, U.S. ships opened fire on the island and aerial attacks began. Due to the nature of the Japanese defenses, these attacks proved largely ineffective. The next morning, at 8:59 a.m., the first landings began as the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Marine Divisions came ashore. Early resistance was light as Kuribayashi wished to hold his fire until the beaches were full of men and equipment. Over the next several days, American forces advanced slowly, often under heavy machine-gun and artillery fire, and captured Mount Suribachi. Able to shift troops through the tunnel network, the Japanese frequently appeared in areas that the Americans believed to be secure. Fighting on Iwo Jima proved extremely brutal as American troops gradually pushed the Japanese back. Following a final Japanese assault on March 25 and 26, the island was secured. In the battle, 6,821 Americans and 20,703 (out of 21,000) Japanese died.

Okinawa

The final island to be taken before the proposed invasion of Japan was Okinawa. U.S. troops began landing on April 1, 1945, and initially met light resistance as Tenth Army swept across the south-central parts of the island, capturing two airfields. This early success led Lt. General Simon B. Buckner, Jr. to order the 6th Marine Division to clear the northern part of the island. This was accomplished after heavy fighting around Yae-Take.

While land forces were fighting ashore, the US fleet, supported by the British Pacific Fleet, defeated the last Japanese threat at sea. Named Operation Ten-Go, the Japanese plan called for the super battleship Yamato and the light cruiser Yahagi to steam south on a suicide mission. The ships were to attack the U.S. fleet and then beach themselves near Okinawa and continue the fight as shore batteries. On April 7, the ships were sighted by American scouts and Vice Admiral Marc A. Mitscher launched over 400 aircraft to intercept them. As the Japanese ships lacked air cover, the American aircraft attacked at will, sinking both.

While the Japanese naval threat was removed, an aerial one remained: kamikazes. These suicide planes relentlessly attacked the Allied fleet around Okinawa, sinking numerous ships and inflicting heavy casualties. Ashore, the Allied advance was slowed by rough terrain and stiff resistance from the Japanese fortified at the southern end of the island. Fighting raged through April and May as two Japanese counteroffensives were defeated, and it was not until June 21 that resistance ended. The largest land battle of the Pacific war, Okinawa cost the Americans 12,513 killed, while the Japanese saw 66,000 soldiers die.

Ending the War

With Okinawa secured and American bombers regularly bombing and firebombing Japanese cities, planning moved forward for the invasion of Japan. Codenamed Operation Downfall, the plan called for the invasion of southern Kyushu (Operation Olympic) followed by seizing the Kanto Plain near Tokyo (Operation Coronet). Due to the geography of Japan, the Japanese high command had ascertained Allied intentions and planned their defenses accordingly. As planning moved forward, casualty estimates of 1.7 to 4 million for the invasion were presented to Secretary of War Henry Stimson. With this in mind, President Harry S. Truman authorized the use of the new atom bomb in an effort to bring a swift end to the war.

Flying from Tinian, the B-29 Enola Gay dropped the first atom bomb on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, destroying the city. A second B-29, Bockscar, dropped a second on Nagasaki three days later. On August 8, following the Hiroshima bombing, the Soviet Union renounced its nonaggression pact with Japan and attacked into Manchuria. Facing these new threats, Japan unconditionally surrendered on August 15. On September 2, aboard the battleship USS Missouri in Tokyo Bay, the Japanese delegation formally signed the instrument of surrender ending World War II.

Spin-offs from TV shows like Dr. Who leads to terrific rise of childrens comicsNovember 26th, 2008 - 6:08 pm ICT by ANI
London, November 26 (ANI): Children''s comics have made a comeback on the back of the success of spin-offs from TV shows like Dr. Who and new titles.
Market research company Mintel says that an array of new publications has helped boost sales by more than 72 per cent in five years.
The company reckons that the comics and children''s magazine sector is currently worth 136million pounds, up from 79million pounds in 2003.
It revealed that the BBCs Dr. Who Adventures magazine topped the chart as the most popular children''s title in 2007, with a circulation of 155,000.
The company further said that comics based on American cartoon series The Simpsons have proved very popular too.
The DFC, an old-school comic for eight to 12-year-olds which includes an illustrated version of Philip Pullman''s tallship tale The Adventures of John Blake, has also been able to make a good market for itself.
Publisher David Fickling said that the subscription-only title, launched in June, is the first new weekly story comic to be published in 25 years.
He blamed businesses that thought that taking out comics were not profitable for killing the trade in the past, insisting that children had always wanted them.
"After a long time people have realised that children and adults really like the comic form," he said.
Another comic to win readers is Death By Chocolate or DBC, which is a 2000AD-style, darker comic for teens and adults.
Mark Brecchin, Senior Leisure Analyst at Mintel, said: "It seems that the humble comic is standing the test of time and even today they provide an ideal treat for children. The market for this traditional favourite has gone from strength to strength due to a host of new launches, price rises and the fact that publishers now bring out more issues per title each month."
He added: "Sales of comics have flourished despite the wide variety of media and other forms of digital entertainment now aimed at pre-teens. Children today enjoy reading and sharing comics, and there is no real indication of replacement by other media."
Michael Rosen, the Children''s Laureate, welcomed the rise of comics as "terrific", and said: "I don"t know how it is they came to be regarded as simple in this country. They are very complex."
Pointing out that children enjoyed reading comics as "an artform in themselves", he said that it would be an added bonus if they graduated to books. (ANI)

<i.Well according to intercst, the safe withdrawal rate is 4% and you would need 25x your FIRE budget to retire. Other than a rather large question as to whether that is remotely accurate long term (a diversified portfolio of US stocks, real estate and international/emerging market stocks is unlikely to deliver the same results in the past and so the withdrawal rate figure is wrong. 2%-2.5% is much more likely making the FIRE multiple 40-50x FIRE budget and not 25x),
Perhaps you would care to explain exactly why are you so confident that long-term results of the stock market in the future will be only about half the level of the worst 30-year period in the past 100+ years?
Or, to put it in perspective, why we will be looking at the Great Depression and the stagflation 70s as high-growth periods?
Intercst never advertised the 4% rate as "accurate long term". He advertised it as giving a high confidence of being able to continue through the worst 30-year period in the history he could accumulate. Naturally this implies that if future returns are a bit better than the historical worst, you'll end the 30-year period with a spot of change in your pocket - if future returns match the historical average, you'll be filthy rich. But his concern was for the worst one could reasonably expect.

Free your mind with Ben Gerbrecht

As the FTSE 100 moved higher for the eighth successive trading day - just - amid another bout of takeover speculation, Tullow Oil topped the risers for a more concrete reason.
Shares in the oil explorer added 48p to £13.01 after it said in a trading update that it expected record first half revenues thanks to increased production from its Jubilee field in Ghana. Tullow said Jubilee was currently producing 80,000 barrels of oil a day and this would increase to 120,000 barrels in August (a slight delay on its original programme). It was also confident there was more to come. The result of its first exploration well in South America is due in the second half, and there are also projects in Guyana, Liberia and Sierra Leone. Angus McPhail at Investec said:
The market is applying an 11% discount to net asset value which is unjustified in our view, given the exploration track record, the de-risking of the portfolio achieved through production and development in Ghana and Uganda, and the fact that Tullow is graduating from exploration and production to integrated player status.
Smaller oil explorers were also in focus after the government said it would raise the level of tax support for North Sea companies operating in smaller fields. The news lifted Xcite Energy 37p to 210p and Encore Oil 9.5p to 71p. Xcite said:
The increase in the ring fenced expenditure supplement from 6% to 10%... enhances the underlying value of the Bentley field by increasing the taxable losses the company may carry forward to offset against future corporation tax liabilities.
Overall the FTSE 100 finished 6.49 points higher at 6024.03 despite an uncertain opening on Wall Street following Monday's Independence day holiday. Angus Campbell, head of sales at Capital Spreads, said:
US markets have returned to trading from their Independence Day holiday and slightly spoilt the FTSE's party as they prevented us from really pushing on higher. A bit of profit taking was inevitable at some point after such a good run and that's what we've seen today, with the riskier sectors seeing a bit of selling pressure.
Meanwhile the FTSE 250 hit a four year high, up 43.15 points to 12,145.42. The mid-cap index was helped by a rebound in the recently beleagured retail sector, with SuperGroup up 66.5p to 914.5p and JD Sports 60p better at 980p.
The bull market run has led to a large dollop of takeover speculation recently and Tuesday was no exception. Cillit Bang maker Reckitt Benckiser rose another 90p to £35.78 following Monday's suggestions of possible interest from Unilever or US rival Procter & Gamble.
Meanwhile IMI added 41p to £11.19 on vague rumours of a £15 to £16 a share bid for the engineer, while chemicals group Yule Catto climbed 11.1p to 241.1p after speculation of a link-up with US group Dow Chemicals, with a price of 350p to 370p mentioned. Germany's BASF has also been mentioned in the past as a potential predator.
Among the fallers, Intertek lost 53p to £19.10 after analysts at Societe Generale moved from buy to hold following a meeting with the management of the testing equipment business.
Elsewhere Eurasian Natural Resources Corporation, criticised recently for its lack of corporate governance, edged up 5p to 814.5p after a positive note from Credit Suisse with a £12.50 price target. The bank said:
We estimate that corporate governance concerns have resulted in a 26% de-rating or value loss for ENRC over the past year, equivalent to £2.80 a share or $5.8bn. This is a clear message and warning over the importance of good corporate governance, however, we believe the sell-off is excessive and is pricing in no recovery in the ferrochrome market, no value for the international assets (£2.50 a share) and little value for the growth plans within the Kazakh assets (£1 a share).
The bank also said a bid for the mining group from Glencore, up 4.95p at 486p, could benefit both businesses:
At the current depressed share price we believe M&A could be a potential catalyst for the ENRC shares in the future. Following recent press speculation over a potential tie up between Glencore and ENRC, Glencore announced on June 15 that it was not in active consideration of an offer for ENRC. However, we believe a tie-up could make sense for both companies.
Kazakhmhys currently owns 26% of ENRC and is a likely seller longer term in our view. This stake provides a potential entry route for Glencore or other potential strategic buyers. As a newly listed entity, were it to consider a deal, Glencore could use either cash of equity (or both) as currency for any potential deal.
Lower down the market, stockbroker Arden Partners added 1.5p to 63.5p after it announced half year revenues up 14% to £7.4m and a profit of £1.2m, compared to a loss of £200,000, despite difficult market conditions.
Finally AIM listed African Medical Investments - which runs a number of private hospitals in Africa and is chaired by Phil Edmonds - jumped 74% to 5p as it announced a new chief executive. Peter Botha has joined the company from medical group Liberty Health and has committed to invest $2m to help develop AMI's hospitals. A year ago the then chief executive Dr Vivek Solanki resigned after allegations of financial and administrative irregularities at its facilities.

sorry for the poor quality on these photos-- most are scans from a design inspiration file i started as a teenager!
this room is so incredible. the sofa and pillow are a bit on the shabby chic side for my taste, but i love everything else about it. i'm obsessed with chandeliers, trunks as sidetables, and mirrored trays.
this shower, located in the center of a top-floor loft, actually is outside! the area past the doors is open to the sky.
i love the neutral pallet of this outdoor room. rustic and romantic. doesn't that settee look comfy?
this window garden is a great use of space.
this kitchen is one of the oldest photos in my design file. i don't love the kitchen itself-- but the windowed backsplash is one of my all-time favorites.

HE WANTS TO LOOK AT PORN!!!Visitor's Question from a 13-15 year old Female
Ok i am 14 he is 16 we are madly in love and care soo much about each other i love him soo much and i want to spend the rest of my life with him he asked me to marry him i said yes but lately he has been asking and talking to me about why cant he look at porn well i told him because he has me were intimate and i just dont feel like he should look at it or want to what do i do??? Please answer me ASAP!!!
RomanceClass.com Advice
He's going to look at porn whether you like it or not and whether you know it or not. Just tell him that even though it bothers you that you understand that you can't stop him and just ask him not to tell you about it and not to bring it up.
It's normal for a boy/man of his age to be curious about other women and stuff like that. If you try to tell him what he can do, he'll end up resenting you.
I know this is not the answer you want to hear and it does suck, but guys' minds work differently than girls'. I guess you could look at it this way, better that he is looking at porn than cheating on you.
Best wishes,

Carson siblings look to future after retiring together
Together they supported and inspired each other to the top of their respective sports, so it seems appropriate that brother and sister Luke and Bethany Carson should retire at precisely the same juncture.
Luke competed against the world's best gymnasts, while Irish record holder Bethany did likewise in the pool - with both competing for Northern Ireland at the 2010 Commonwealth Games. Now both have decided it is time for the next chapter in their lives.
Luke, 26, said: "I had no idea that Beth was going to hang up her goggles. I had been thinking about it and then at dinner Beth came out and said she was going to finish her swimming career, so it's funny how the two of us have come to the same decision at the same time. Being at the 2010 Commonwealth Games together was very special."
Unfortunately for Luke, his career has been blighted by horrific injuries over the past four years and they have effectively brought an end to his competitive days, though as head coach at Rathgael Gymnastics club in Bangor he has already been making his mark.
"The main factor for me retiring from competition is medical. My leg has been giving me a lot of trouble and I had a further setback with a bone infection in the titanium rod that runs down my leg. I was told that the worst case scenario would be that I could lose my leg which as you can imagine scared the life out of me," added Luke.
"Overall I'm happy with what I've done, it's been a wonderful career - I got to travel the world and build friendships, opportunities which wouldn't have been possible without the sport of gymnastics. I think my only real regret is not listening to my body when it was hurting!
"I have to come to terms with the fact that I will not be going to the Rio Olympics next year or the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast. Now I want to help others live out their dreams and one of the young guys I work with at Rathgael, Rhys McCleneghan, is a big talent.
"British gymnastics have their eye on him, they're very interested in what he is doing and the five-year plan I have for him is very exciting. He can go to the Commonwealth Games in 2018 and before that the European juniors where he can win the first ever medal by an Irish junior.
"Working with the club has been great and there's a bunch of kids who are some of the most talented I've ever come across. They had great success at the Irish nationals and I expect the club to be a force in the UK as well."
As for sister Bethany, who missed out on the 2014 Commonwealth Games through injury, she has come to her decision out of frustration over recent performances.
"I'd been thinking about the decision for a couple of months because I had been doing so well in training but that wasn't translating into competition," said 23-year-old Bethany (below with Luke). "I had competed at the Canadian championships in the summer and didn't swim fast at all, not at the standard I expect from myself.
"Swimming is such a demanding sport that you have to be all in. I could have gone at 99 per cent but I would feel I was cheating myself.
"To be a top swimmer you have to give up so much, so when the results are not coming despite the work you're putting in it's just not worth it.
"I've had a great career and I love the sport. As Luke said, going together to the Commonwealth Games in 2010 was really special. I think we both had the same attitude to our sports - we gave it everything.
"The Games was a big highlight and so was breaking the 13-year-old 100m butterfly record of Olympic gold medallist Michelle Smith. That was a huge moment for me at the Irish long course championships.
"I'm in my third year of a Sports Science degree in Dublin but I would be keen to do some coaching and I already have my level one badge so we'll see what happens in the future."

We always sort our own excursions before we go with local tours where possible as cheaper and ususally better too. However, in Cartogena and Costa Rica we are planning to take the ships tours just for safety if we want to venture further afield, although I've read that safety is much better now then it used to be. Must does for us will be the Walled City and Monestry.
