A solitary second-half strike from Roberto Soldado ensured los Che's new coach got off to a flying start in the league, while Malaga cantered to an easy victory over lowly Granada
A last-gasp strike from Alvaro Negredo denied Espanyol a much needed Spanish Primera Division victory on Friday evening as Sevilla came away with a 2-2 draw at Cornella-El Prat.
The hosts actually got off to a good start, and edged ahead after just 13 minutes when Joan Verdu was fouled inside the area by Fernando Navarro. The Espanyol man picked himself up to dispatch the resulting penalty. However, Ivan Rakitic made it 1-1 with a penalty of his own 11 minutes later.
Sevilla were put down to 10 men just before the break when Jose Antonio Reyes received his second booking in seven minutes. Espanyol took advantage on the hour mark when Simao headed home from Mubarak Wakaso's corner kick.
The relegation-threatened side were to be denied a win in the last minute, however. Negredo came off the bench to nod in from Coke's whipped cross and earn a point for Sevilla.REAL SOCIEDAD 1-1 GETAFE
A scrappy affair between Real Sociedad and Getafe came to life in the last five minutes of play as both sides registered a goal to earn a point at the Anoeta.
Getafe thought they had stolen the points with five minutes remaining when Angel Lafita popped up inside the box to clinically head home from Jaime Gavilan's cross.
However, there was to be further late drama. Alberto de la Bella found space on the wing and whipped a cross to the back post, and Carlos Martinez was there to direct a header into the roof of the net and secure a point for Sociedad.MALAGA 4-0 GRANADA
Malaga provisionally moved back into the Champions League places with an emphatic 4-0 victory over Granada on Saturday evening.
The opening stages of the match were fairly evenly balanced, but a horrible mistake from Papa Diakhate saw Malaga go ahead. The Senegalese defender slipped at the back which allowed Joaquin to run through on goal and convert past Tono in the Granada goal. Javier Saviola doubled the lead seven minutes later with a terrific touch and shot into the near post.
Granada came out of the blocks well after the second-half, and even struck the post through an Odion Ighalo strike. But Manuel Pellegrini's men sealed the win and scored the third 15 minutes from time when the ball fortuitously deflected off the head of Ignacio Camacho and into the net following Joaquin's free kick.
Roque Santa Cruz got among the goals five minutes from time when he chested down and smashed the ball into the bottom corner past Tono.
A goal from Roberto Soldado 10 minutes into the second-half ensured Ernesto Valverde's tenure as Valencia boss started off in winning fashion with a victory over Osasuna on Saturday evening.
Mauricio Pellegrino was sacked last week as Valencia suffered yet another Liga defeat. However, Valverde's reign started off well with an away win against Lille during the week, and Soldado sealed this win with a scrappy strike 10 minutes after the break. Tino Costa's looped cross hit the crossbar and the striker was in the right place at the right time to blast home.
The match was an awful affair in truth with hardly any goalmouth action. Soldado could have made it two in the remaining minutes but forced a routine save out of Andres Fernandez. Valverde's first Liga match as Valencia boss ends in a victory.
Mallorca's run of games without a win stretched to 12 on Sunday as the Islanders were comfortably defeated 4-0 by Levante at the Ciutat de Valencia.
Dudu Aouate kept Mallorca in it with a few good saves in the first-half, but Levante eventually broke the deadlock two minutes before the break when Obafemi Martins showed strength and persistence to outmuscle Pedro Geromel before sweeping home. David Navarro doubled their advantage four minutes after the restart when he sent a looping header in off the post following a corner.
Ruben Garcia linked up with Martins before smashing the ball past Aouate at the near post to make it 3-0 to Levante. The win was rounded off just before the hour mark when Mallorca failed to clear from a corner kick and the ball found its way to Vicente Iborra, who drilled home.
Athletic Bilbao recorded their first win in four games and put some distance between themselves and the relegation zone win a narrow 1-0 win over Celta Vigo at San Mames.
Iago Aspas had attempted to force the issue twice in the opening 15 minutes with long range strikes, but neither found their mark. Ibai Gomez also saw a strike go just wide from 20 yards out for Athletic. However, he turned provider just after the half-hour mark to cross in for Aritz Aduriz, who nodded past Javi Varas in the Celta goal.
The visitors became more of a threat as the game progressed, and Michael Krohn-Delhi and Enrique De Lucas both had decent opportunities to equalise, but Athletic ultimately held on for a vital three points.
Zaragoza ended a run of four matches without a victory on Monday, as they registered a 2-0 success at Rayo Vallecano.
Franco Zuculini opened the scoring for the Blanquillos on 21 minutes after taking full advantage of a loose ball in the box and the points were in the bag by the hour mark when Apono diverted Helder Postiga's header goalbound.
The result sees Zaragoza leapfrog Rayo into 13th place in the Liga standings.

Dierks Bentley's 'Riser' Debuts at No. 1
Dierks Bentley's latest album, 'Riser,' rose quickly to the top, debuting at No. 1 on the charts.
The Arizona native, who co-wrote six of the 12 songs on the project, admits he was a bit nervous about his latest set of tunes, which were a bit of a departure from his previous records.
"I think every record I've made has always been a Polaroid snapshot of where I was at that place in time when I made it," Bentley explains. "But this particular album just has a lot of scenery in the picture. There's a lot that's gone on the last two years — more so than any other time in my life. I mean, you look at some of the bookends of making this record . . . my dad passing away at the start of the process, and then my son, Knox, being born at the end of the process. So it was unexpected."
The 38-year-old reached out to producer Ross Copperman to record this latest album, which was done in Copperman's home studio, instead of an elaborate studio on Music Row. While that decision was a risky one, Bentley says it worked out exactly the way he had hoped.
"It's the sound in my head that I hear when I'm playing a live show," he notes. "You have one ear monitor in, one ear out, and the crowd's there and your voice feels really great. There's a certain amount of gravel to it because you're tired, but you're all jacked up on whatever you're drinking and adrenaline, and the crowds and the fans are there and there's this feeling, fists in the air — it's that thing that's hard to transfer into a studio environment. There's a rawness."
This is Bentley's fifth time to debut at the top of the charts. He will head overseas next week for shows in Dublin and London before he kicks off his 2014 Riser Tour in May, with Chris Young, Chase Rice and Jon Pardi serving as his opening acts.

As a statewide DWI enforcement crackdown rolls on through Labor Day, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic Safety today released its final 2012 drunk driving report highlighted by 104 drunk driving deaths, down from 111 in 2011 and representing 100 fewer drunk driving deaths from a decade ago.
As a statewide DWI enforcement crackdown rolls on through Labor Day, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety (DPS) Office of Traffic Safety today released its final 2012 drunk driving report highlighted by 104 drunk driving deaths, down from 111 in 2011 and representing 100 fewer drunk driving deaths from a decade ago.
View Minnesota Impaired Driving Facts 2012 online at: https://dps.mn.gov/divisions/ots/educational-materials/Documents/IMPAIRED-DRIVING-FACTS-2012.pdf.
DPS officials say the declining trend in drunk driving incidents could be reversed this year as crash deaths are on the rise in 2013. Drunk driving crashes killed 585 people in Minnesota during last past five years.
"Impaired driving is a constant and scary factor that plagues our roads," says Donna Berger, DPS Office of Traffic Safety director. "But the problem can be addressed and the tragedies prevented if we all make the effort to take responsibility and make smart decisions."
355 Arrested During Second Weekend of Enforcement
During the second weekend of extra statewide DWI enforcement, approximately 355 people were arrested for DWI according to preliminary reports. There were more than 400 arrests during the first weekend. The campaign continues through Labor Day. Officials urge Minnesotans to plan ahead for a sober ride to stop preventable alcohol-related traffic deaths.
Key Findings in 2012 Minnesota Impaired Driving Facts report:
Deaths and Injuries
395 people died in traffic crashes in Minnesota in 2012 and 104 (26 percent) of the deaths were a result of crashes involving drunk drivers.
78 (75 percent) of the 104 drunk driving deaths occurred outside the Twin Cities' metro — Greater Minnesota accounted for 250 total fatal crashes in 2012, of which 70 (28 percent) involved a drunk driver.
2,644 people suffered injuries in alcohol-related crashes.
DWI Arrests
28,418 motorists were arrested for DWI (an average of 78 DWIs per day). There were 29,257 arrests in 2011; 29,918 in 2010; 32,756 in 2009; 35,736 in 2008. The Twin Cities' metro area and the 80-county Greater Minnesota each accounted for about one-half of all 2012 DWI arrests.
11,474 (40 percent) of these violators had at least one prior DWI. All repeat offenders arrested, and first-time offenders arrested at 0.16 or higher, are eligible to use ignition interlock to regain driving privileges and avoid at least one year without a license.
Males accounted for 73 percent of all DWIs.
Motorists ages 20–29 represented 42 percent of the arrests.
One in 16 of the arrests were motorists under age 21.
One in seven current Minnesota drivers has a DWI on record (584,529), and one in 16 has two or more DWIs. 1,292 Minnesotans have 10 or more DWIs.
39 percent of those who incur one violation will incur a second within 15 years of their first arrest.
The average alcohol concentration among first-time offenders was 0.148, for repeat offenders the level was 0.164.
DWI Conviction Rates
76 percent of motorists arrested for DWI resulted in a criminal conviction for driving while impaired; this percentage will increase as outstanding cases are settled in courts. Historically, about 85 percent of DWI arrests result in a conviction each year.
The top five counties for DWI conviction rates were: Clearwater (95 percent); Hubbard (94 percent); Marshall (94 percent); Watonwan (94 percent); Wilkin (93 percent); Polk (92 percent); Wabasha (91 percent); and Otter Tail (90 percent).
Counties with the lowest conviction rates: Washington (62 percent); Steele (67 percent); Dakota (68 percent); Hennepin (69 percent); and Fillmore (70 percent).
Impaired Drivers and Seat Belt Use
74 percent of drinking drivers killed were not wearing seat belts.

The other two posts are:
Someone else mentioned a question on genres and I'll post that in the tomorrows post. Any other questions related to this survey?
I suspect that what we're seeing for ebooks here is what J. R. Tomlin commented on for yesterday's post:
...publishing is so volatile at the moment that even a relatively short span after a survey it could be somewhat out-of-date.
Given the current publishing industry environment, results from an annual survey will lag behind the reality.
Suzanne Adair
I don't know how they garnered their sample, but 2.2% eBook sales?
That is enough in itself to skew the results pretty seriously. I think that may be in part what I mentioned in my previous comment, that publishing is changing and so are buying habits.
It looks like the method they're using to acquire a sample is missing eBook buyers. It is easy to get a self-selecting sample such as by doing your sampling at conventions.
Interesting information, but I'd look at it through a large chunk of salt as opposed to a mere grain.
The 2011-2012 Review will reflect more of what we are hearing recently in the news about the sudden rise of ebooks. And with almost ten authors already hitting the Kindle Million list, ebooks stats will surge forward. I can't possibly imagine how those stats will look next year if the Review also includes the recently announced Harry Potter ebooks. It would be a crime not to include those as part of the yearly book sales to consumers.
JR & Suzanne hit the nail on the head. 2.2% e-book sales by revenue or 3.8% by volume is more than enough to skew this data completely. That's more like 2009 figures.
Either they made errors with the sample (only choosing people who predominantly purchase print books), or it's out of date.
It's not useless, it's very handy for figuring out how people buy print books. I just wouldn't race to any conclusions about what that means for e-books.
Steve mentioned something interesting in his comment, that I touched on in my blog post the other day.
Will we ever see sales figures for the Harry Potter ebooks? They could announce any number they like and there is no way of verifying.
On top of that, because they are outside "the system" they will never feed into any of the numbers that Amazon spits out, let alone into anything like the AAP figures.
The AAP figures already don't include most small presses and e-presses and all self-publishers. But now, with major authors self-publishing, and those figures not being counted, do we need some kind of new industry standard to measure the numbers?
Essentially, what I am saying is with the rise of self-publishing, the reluctance of major retailers like Amazon to provide hard data, and the increasing numbers of authors selling significant amounts through their websites (and its more than Rowling), will we ever have an accurate picture of the industry again?
Oh and thank you Robin for providing all this data!
I find it fascinating.
I'm with David,
1. thanks for the data! (Hint, my charts are up for April sales):
2. It provides good print book insight, but something is off having that few ebook buyers... hmmm...
As to an accurate picture, probably not. We'll always undershoot non-AAP sales. ;)
Thanks wannabuy - I always enjoy your treatment of the AAP numbers. Keep up the good work.
In general, Bowker can't track ebook sales, so the ebook figures here are irrelevant. Here's a link to the information: http://www.weberbooks.com/2009/05/will-kindle-crash-nielsen-bookscan.html
And a quote: "But BookScan isn't reporting this explosion in eBook sales. Nielsen's Dennis Halby says they'd like to get eBook numbers, but don't have an estimate on when that might happen. And considering the terrarium-like Kindle environment Amazon is building, I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon keeps a lid on things. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon launched a BookScan rival.
"How much market share does Amazon have in eBooks? Nobody knows. I'd guess it's 75 percent and rising fast."
I'd go with Amazon's figures, since they actually have the facts. Bowker can only report what they know, and what's going on with Kindle sales is a complete mystery to them.
Of course, that article is two years old, and the information is hilariously out of date.
Nice Post. This post helped me in my college assignment. Thnaks Alot
Robin, when can we expect to see some new Ridan titles coming on the market. Your blog obviously led me to your website which I now follow religiously and you have a couple books coming that I'd love to read.
@library girl - we have a number of titles coming out really soon:
- Joe Haldeman's Forever War
- Andrew Fox's The Good Humor Man
- Todd Fonsecca's Time Cavern II
- Eric Knapp's - Cluck Murder Most Fowl
- A book by Jackson Archer (that may yet go through another name change).
- Nathan Lowell's book #4 - Double Share
- And a 7 book sci-fi series by a very famous author that we are in the final stages of signing - more to come soon.
@Shevi - Yeah Bookscan is useless - the data I'm citing is from surveys of readers - as opposed to Bookscan which shows orders through the distribution chain.

GOTHENBURG, Sweden, Sept. 28 (UPI) -- A Norwegian man who had been drinking and fell asleep in the back seat of his car said he woke up to discover two car thieves had driven him to Sweden.
The 50-year-old man, whose name was not released, said he fell asleep after drinking Tuesday night in Oslo and awoke to find two women unloading him from his vehicle in Gothenburg, Sweden, The Local.se reported Friday.
The man contacted police and was allowed to spend the rest of the night at a police station. He said officers were giving him a ride to a train station Wednesday when he spotted his car on the road.
"I was bloody lucky," the man told the Goteborgs-Posten newspaper.
The two women, who police said were suspected to be intoxicated, were arrested and the man's car was returned to him. Police said they recovered what they believe to be stolen goods from the vehicle.

This article is from the archive of our partner .
Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia invoked a curious term in his fierce dissent of Wednesday's ruling that struck down the Defense of Marriage Act, calling it a "legalistic argle-bargle," which sounds like a made up word if we've ever heard one, but was actually a carefully chosen phrase of disgust. It originates from the Scottish "argy-bargy" — an even sillier expression — which, according to Meriam Webster means a "lively discussion." Other places describe it as "a relatively amicable, if somewhat heated, argument" and "an argument or confrontation of moderate intensity, somewhere between a spirited debate and a fistfight." In other words it's a very Supreme Court justice way to describe a disagreement. But why such a silly term for the court record books?
"'Argle-bargle' is formed by what's known as rhyming reduplication," linguist Ben Zimmer told The Atlantic Wire. "Reduplication," is when "a word formation process by which some part of a base (a segment, syllable, morpheme) is repeated, either to the left, or to the right, or, occasionally, in the middle," as the Lexicon of Linguistics explains it. So, it's like okey-dokey or mumbo-jumbo.
It's not exactly Supreme Court level language, which is exactly why Scalia chose it. People use these types of terms to sound either juvenile or pejorative, which was the justice's point: These other opinions aren't just wrong, they're argle-bargle level wrong, or plain dumb. "I think Scalia's pejorative intentions were clear, but he was looking for something a bit more exotic than 'mumbo-jumbo,'" added Zimmer.
Indeed, rather than reaching for the very American "mumbo-jumbo," Scalia went for an overseas variant. Argle comes from the Scottish dialect for "argument," according to the Word-Detective. The word dates all the way back to the 16th century. The fun phrase "argle bargle," however, first appeared as early as 1808 in Jamieson's "Etymological Dictionary of the Scottish Tongue." Though, a close variant, "aurgle-bargain" dates all the way back to 1720. "The Scots have a penchant for reduplication," notes Zimmer. "Along with 'argle-bargle' and its cousins 'argie-bargie' and 'argol-bargolous', there's 'catter-batter' (to wrangle), 'crinkie-winkie' (a contention), 'hackum-plackum' (to barter), etc."

Love Without Hypocrisy
Pastor Steve Ellison
Romans 12:9 tells us how to properly use our gifts in building up the body, "Let love be without hypocrisy." NASU We are called to let the love of God flow through us to our fellow believers and to the lost and dying world around us. This love must not be an act. It must be without hypocrisy, real, sincere. The producing of spiritual fruit depends on it.
The rest of Romans 12 describes this "love without hypocrisy". It spells it out in great detail, "Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. 10 Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor; 11 not lagging behind in diligence, fervent in spirit, serving the Lord; 12 rejoicing in hope, persevering in tribulation, devoted to prayer, 13 contributing to the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality. 14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15 Rejoice with those who rejoice, and weep with those who weep. 16 Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. 17 Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men. 18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men. 19 Never take your own revenge, beloved, but leave room for the wrath of God, for it is written, "VENGEANCE IS MINE, I WILL REPAY," says the Lord. 20 "BUT IF YOUR ENEMY IS HUNGRY, FEED HIM, AND IF HE IS THIRSTY, GIVE HIM A DRINK; FOR IN SO DOING YOU WILL HEAP BURNING COALS ON HIS HEAD." 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good." NASU
Romans 12:9-21 presents an impossible goal. You cannot love that way. I cannot love that way. Only God can love that way. If we do not abhor evil the way God abhors evil, we really do not love without hypocrisy. If we do not cling to what is good the way God clings to what is good, we really do not love without hypocrisy. If we are not devoted to one another in brotherly love in the way that Christ loves, we really do not love without hypocrisy. If we do not refuse to lag behind in diligence in the way that Christ refuses to, we really do not love without hypocrisy. I have worked through less than a tenth the list but you get the picture. You can work through the rest of the list which only gets progressively more difficult.
We are commanded to let love be without hypocrisy. The only way for that to be true is to abstain from damming up the flow of God's love. These verses provide us with a tremendous measuring stick. We ought to use these verses to see if we measure up, to see if our love is real, without hypocrisy. If our love does not match these verses, the solution is not for us to work harder but rather to submit and surrender to God. In the words of Romans 12:1 we are to, "present our bodies as a living sacrifice". If we do not find the qualities found in these verses, we need to check our union with Christ. We need to figure out if we really are abiding in Christ, attached as a branch to the Vine. We need to examine ourselves to see if we are allowing Christ to use our bodies as His body. That really is the function of the church. .………..email@example.com

Lego Video Games: The Complete Gift Guide
You're in a bind. You're not comfortable getting violent, shoot-em-up video games for the kids on your gift list this holiday season, but the clock is ticking and you haven't come up with an alternative.
Relaxvideo game studio Traveller's Tales and its Lego-themed series of virtual adventures are here to the rescue.
First of all, as Deadspin's Drew Magary notes, when it comes to gifts that kids will actually like, "[t]here is only Video Games and Sh** That Isn't Video Games." You can keep fighting this reality or give in to it.
The good news is that you can gift a video game without contributing to an 11-year-old's adoption of a sedentary life of virtual zombie slaying. Instead, you can contribute to his adoption of a sedentary life of virtual Lego block rearranging!
I'm a huge fan of Lego video games, and I've played most of the titles in the series all the way through with my own kids, beginning with Lego Star Wars: The Video Game on a Nintendo GameCube all those years ago. Surprisingly, even as they've grown older, the kids continued to enjoy the new Lego games as well. My son got Lego The Lord of the Rings: The Video Game for his birthday recently and it's (temporarily) supplanted Halo 4 as the go-to game on our Xbox 360. (We also have a basketball hoop and sometimes even go on hikes, so stop judging.)
The great thing about the Lego games is that they're minimally violent, encourage problem-solving, and possess a unique sense of whimsy layered over familiar, popular entertainment properties like Star Wars, the Indiana Jones adventures, Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, and more. All of the multi-platform games in the Lego series take you through stages of a linear story, each of which you need to complete to access unlockable characters, powers, tools, and bonuses which you can use to accomplish various other tasks to complete the game. The cool thing here is that younger kids will enjoy simply playing the basic story levels while older kids (and obsessed dads) will want to break every Lego object in sight to uncover every last secret in the game and achieve a perfect score.
In the accompanying slideshow, I'll break down the pluses and minuses of the available titles in the Lego video game series, offer some advice on appropriate age groups for each game, and list the platforms for which the games are available.
1 Lego Star Wars: The Complete Saga
2 Lego Batman: The Video Game
3 Lego Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures
4 Lego The Lord of the Rings: The Video Game
5 Lego Harry Potter
6 Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes

The more slivo you have at my place, the harder math becomes! ÂÂ
I got nothing.
I forgot the maps
I thought it became easier??  Just the grades became worse?? ÂÂ
I have taken anthropology and geology, am currently in ecology and will probably take either astronomy or chemistry this summer. At Evergreen, I hope to continue taking science classes. But when it comes to math, I'm just not interested in what I cannot use. Peace.
You're going to take chemistry but not math?!  Um... I don't know about the chemistry program at Evergreen, but at my university, about half or more of the chemistry class was math.
Astronomy requires math...even basic astronomy requires a good knowledge of Algebra/Trig. ÂÂ
It will help you in your life no matter what your profession ends up being...a lot more than you may think.
Why isn't there a math prerequisite for the class at SFCC? (Maybe you shouldn't answer that.)
Personally, matthew, I dont think you've ever taken any Mathematics and, accordingly, are in no posistion to judge the value of the field.
I placed into intermediate algebra and doubt that it's necessary for news reporters. I could, however, be mistaken.
Well, sounds like you have a couple years of work before you can get to real mathematics; however, with that said, I really dont know how someone could function in life in this day and age without at least a moderate understanding of algebra.
Yeah,x + y = beerx^2 + y^2 = too much beer
Last Astronomy class I took (which happened to be on the Theories of Relativity) required me to use all three semesters of calculus, diff eq, linear algebra, and even group theory from Abstract Algebra, and I have to say that I dont think I could have got my mind around the concepts without upper divison topology and theoretical geometry courses. Sounds like your 'Astronomy' class is nothing more than a joke.Personally, matthew, I dont think you've ever taken any Mathematics and, accordingly, are in no posistion to judge the value of the field. I'm sorry but the typical three semesters of calculus, diff eq, and linear algebra dont pass for math, when you take a few topology, theoretical geometry, real analysis, number theory, or abstract algebra classes (or gain an equivalent knowlege) let me know, then we can talk...until then you just dont have the experience to present a well informed opinion on the matter.
I placed into intermediate algebra and doubt that it's necessary for news reporters. I could, however, be mistaken. Peace.
I've heard that math helps a person become a better analytical thinker, which is something I could use for journalism, philosophy and theology.
You BETTER believe it is important!  M777, something you need to understand (and everyone else for that matter) is that written (and visual) media sources (the Newspress being the biggest culprit) is absolutely riddled with poor reporting involving any type of quantifiable analysis.
That's definitely worth considering. The problem is how terribly frustrating math is for me, enough to want to pull my hair out. I actually feel relieved in going to Evergreen.
What real life person has the time to waste sitting in a classroom? ÂÂ
With all the respect, I very strongly disagree. One of the main reasons, why education is valid, is a possibility of a better job. Unless classes are useless, siting in the classroms does make sense. I am not saying it is necessarily easy. Furthermore, circumstances sometimes make study impossible.
Well, there are some professional students (i.e., the man with three Bachelors degrees, two Masters degrees, and two Doctorates) who would probably do well to leave school and actually make a life for themselves in the workplace. Of course, such people often become professors, so I can't knock the professional student too much.
How in Mor's good nameone hundred fifty four postsNo Rachel Weisz picSelam
Matthew, I had never heard of Evergreen, but I like th idea of choosing your  program and going from there.

Billy Ray Cyrus -- a member of the Parents Television Council Advisory Board -- is upset with the Council's statement that the smoking hot "Glee" photos published in GQ are borderline pedophilia.
Sources connected with Billy Ray tell TMZ ... the singer is "disappointed" at the statement from Council Prez Tim Winter. We're told Billy Ray feels like the Council "has recently been spending all its time attacking people rather than promoting family television."
The Council has also attacked Miley Cyrus for a sexy music video she recently shot. Papa Cyrus -- who we're told was not consulted before Winter issued his statement -- is getting "fed up with the Council."
So whose side are you on?

Street Fighter X Mega Man Version 2.0 Features a New Challenger!
Street Fighter X Mega Man has received an update over the weekend that pumps it full of enhancements and brings us a whole new hidden character.
The Capcom-Unity blog runs through some of the changes for the crossover collaboration, which include tweaks to the menus and a brand new character to fight. The video below also outlines the changes, but the new character's identity becomes a little less of a mystery once you see his animations and hear him start to yell, "Tiger --!"
According to the blog, the free update makes the following changes in the game:
- Confirmation prompt before exiting (ESC) or resetting (F12) the game
- E Tank glitch and various other bugs fixed
- Improved controller support (Game defaults to keyboard on launch; make sure controller is plugged in prior to opening the file, then go into Options menu and set keys)
- Take screenshots using F9
- M. Bison buffed a bit (This place shall become your grave!)
- A new challenger! (Find him yourself!)
Like we said, the new challenger is more than likely Sagat, the extremely tall muay thai fighter. Get ready to have fun fighting him and dodging all of his Tiger moves! Check out the video below to see more of the Blue Bomber in all of his retro glory.
Download the update here and let us know what other crossovers you'd like to see.

Genji's Random Collections
Hi, I hope I make this correct this time. I just wanted to post some of my old drawings from my highschool days.

By the way I made the two drawings in the same ways.
First, using a pencil for the sketching.
Second, ink it (signing pen). Then erase the pencil lines.
Third, watercolor for the most parts and color pens (for the eyes).
Fourth, watercolor again for the shadows and secondary colors.
Fifth, signing pen and correction fluid for finalization.
Please comment, I think I got some more drawings hidden at the basement (joke!)

I made them up, and the truth is I'm dreaming of making an anime and I just finished the a small part of the script that needs a ton of editing.
Its an epic... like lodoss war, lord of the rings and gladiator all mixed together

I like your drawings I see a lot of potential and I can't wait to see more characters. For some reason your drawings give me an Inuyasha vibe which isn't a bad thing. I definately wouldn't mind seeing some of your characters in a background setting or maybe doing some type of action like drinking tea or something to give them more personality.

Honestly, my drawing were inspire by the anime Rounin Kenshin specially the female (you know who she is....
This is the negative of a pencil sketch, again I want to put my culture in the design of the armor but from the looks of it, it still look like a samurai or na ninja, though in reality I wanted to picture a Filipino Muslim warrior. He's Genji Ibarra.
Obviously, she's Japanese. Why? It's like a tribute to the origin of anime and Phil-Jap relations. She's Noemi... she's a princess so I kinda find it hard to whether Japanese primcess have surnames at all, though I wanted to put Fujiwara.
Again, with the culture, can you see the three similar marks on the forehead? It symbolizes the letter "K" in the ancient Philippine alphabeth, probably Indian, I think but its not in use, hehehe
This a small picture a size of a box of matches (the smallest). I made that using ballpen (sketch) ,colorpencil (dress), colorpen (cherry blossom)
For the other characters, they are still in my head and most of them are male (generals), probably its like a shounen type. It focuses on war, responsibility and commitment for a cause.

Yes, I'm Filipino, half Bicolano (Catholic) and half Tausug (Muslim). By birth, I'm Muslim.

Oh, again, I' planning to make it an war epic so expect many male who are usually officials, captains, generals. The span of the story is 10 years, why? It's kinda an adventure as well, if this is to be a movie, it'll be like Star Wars Saga, I meant the length of the story. Genji and his army will probably travel across Asia to Africa then at last Europe, and back.

The influences to the art style seems familiar but it also has unique touches. But I can't help you much there since I'm more of a writer. How far have you gotten in the story? Do you have a chapter out?

No, not really, u see. I don't have the PC to start this formally though I got 1/4 of the story in a pile written in pencil but in my opinion, this still needs tons of editing because I have new paths that l wanted to insert, new philosophies etc.
until now I'm very far from starting formally, I got a job now so it seems l don't have the time ... huhuhu
I believe if these were to made a movie, it will topple, frodo.. heheheh

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 30, 2014) – Facing its toughest challenge of the Atlantic Sun Conference schedule so far, the ETSU men's basketball team will host first-place Mercer Friday night inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
The game -- which was originally scheduled for Thursday night, but was moved due to inclement weather and travel delays -- will tip at 7 p.m., and will be available on both the Buccaneer Sports Network radio affiliates and on live video stream at ASun.TV.
The Buccaneers (11-10 overall, 4-4 in A-Sun play) can move into third place in the league standings with a victory, but Mercer (17-5, 8-1) has been the class of the conference so far this season.
In an effort to create the best home court advantage possible for the Bucs, ETSU men's basketball coach Murry Bartow and the athletic department's staff are offering multiple promotions for the game. These offers include free pizza beginning at 6:30 p.m. for all students, and the first 500 students at the game will also receive a free ETSU basketball t-shirt. In addition, Wolf Ridge Resort will be giving away free lift tickets during the game to fans in attendance.
Fans are also encouraged to bring their children to games this year to take advantage of the special Sweet Frogs $5 kids' ticket during men's basketball games.

We are "ETSU"
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" ... East Tennessee State University in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
Buc bits
The ETSU men's basketball program was glad to see the 2012-13 campaign come to an end, following a season which saw the team face multiple obstacles and challenges -- such as a brutal schedule that featured the likes of North Carolina, Arizona, Ole Miss, Virginia Tech, Georgia and Hawaii ... Other issues for the team included senior post Lukas Poderis (Port Richey, Fla.) missing the season with ankle injury that he suffered in the preseason, senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis) being academically ineligible for the first two months of the year, and two other senior guards who were expected to be major contributors were dismissed from the team in early November for violations of team rules … This left head coach Murry Bartow and his coaching staff with a young, inexperienced group of underclassmen, several true freshmen, one redshirt freshman and a pair of junior college transfers … Those obstacles proved to be tough to overcome, as the Buccaneers posted a 10-22 record and finished 8-10 in Atlantic Sun Conference play … It was the toughest campaign in Bartow's 10 seasons at ETSU, a tenure that has produced many championships, postseason tournament appearances and 20-win campaigns … In all, Bartow's teams have earned three NCAA Tournament invitations (2004, 2009 and 2010), one NIT appearance (2007), and one CIT berth (2011), and the Bucs have eclipsed 20 wins five times.
The series vs. Mercer
The Bucs lead the all-time series over Mercer 12-6, but ETSU has lost four straight in the series, including a 73-63 decision earlier this season in Macon, Ga.
Last time out vs. Mercer
MACON, Ga. (Jan. 6, 2014) – In a game highlighted by wild momentum swings and offensive runs, the ETSU men's basketball team got to within two points late but was unable to complete a second half rally, dropping its first Atlantic Sun Conference game of the season to Mercer, 73-63, inside Hawkins Arena. ... ETSU freshman guard A.J. Merriweather (Jackson) finished the game with a career and game-high 20 points, while senior forward Hunter Harris (Nashville) added 14 in the losing effort. ... The Bucs were doomed by poor shooting in the first half, and a 24 percent clip from 3-point range for the game. Meanwhile, Mercer went 25-of-31 from the foul line compared to a 13-of-21 clip for the Bucs. ... ETSU enjoyed a great start in the first half, holding Mercer scoreless over the first five minutes of game play and ultimately building a lead of 15-1 with 14:02 left before the intermission. However, the good times didn't last. ... Mercer answered the Bucs' quick start by outscoring ETSU 34-10 over the next 12 minutes to roar back and lead 35-25 with 2:05 left in the half. The Bucs closed the deficit to eight points at 37-29 by the break, but the Bears had survived a terrible start to hold a significant lead on their home floor. ... After the break, Mercer's all-conference guard Langston Hall opened the half scoring nine straight points and the Bears' lead ballooned to 15 at 46-31. The Bucs stayed resilient though, thanks primarily to the play of Merriweather and Harris, who combined to score 17 points as ETSU manufactured a 20-7 run to make it 53-51 with eight minutes left in the game. ... Unfortunately for the Bucs, that would be as close as they would get.
Last time out
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 25, 2014) – Senior forward Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard scored with nine seconds left and a critical defensive stop as time expired gave the ETSU men's basketball team a dramatic 76-75 win over Atlantic Sun Conference foe Jacksonville inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center. ... The game featured three ties and five lead changes over the last six minutes, but the Bucs managed to make the crucial plays at the end as head coach Murry Bartow picked up his 200th career win on the Buccaneers' bench. ... The game-winning shot came after the Bucs had grabbed the lead at 74-73 when junior guard Jalen Riley (Racine, Wis.) inbounded the ball off the back of JU's Marcel White, picked it back up and scored the ball. The Dolphins' then responded and regained the lead on a pair of free throws from guard Jarvis Haywood with 25 seconds left, setting up Gadsden-Gilliard's heroics. ... Following the score, Jacksonville got the ball to Haywood, but the Bucs surrounded him and blocked his progress to the basket. Haywood dished the ball to guard Vince Martin, whose desperation 3-pointer missed the mark. ... Both teams finished with strong offensive numbers, with ETSU shooting 46 percent from the floor and JU hitting on 48 percent of its shots. The Bucs only turned the ball over 10 times, while picking up 10 steals.
Gadsden-Gilliard named A-Sun Player of the Week
The Atlantic Sun Conference office announced Monday that senior forward Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) has been named the league's player of the week. ... Gadsden-Gilliard, who produced two solid performances in wins over North Florida and Jacksonville, averaged 18 points, 5.5 rebounds and 3.5 assists per game for the week. More importantly, KGG hit the game-winning shot with nine seconds remaining to push ETSU to 4-4 in league play and 11-10 overall. ... This is the first career A-Sun POTW honor for Gadsden-Gilliard, who scored 19 points in the win over North Florida and 17 in the victory over Jacksonville. For the week, he shot an efficient 13-of-24 (54.2 percent) from the field, and an even more impressive 5-of-6 (83 percent) from 3-point range.
Bartow gets win No. 300 overall and No. 200 at ETSU
ETSU head coach Murry Bartow won his 300th career game on Jan. 4 against Kennesaw State, and captured his 200th win on the ETSU bench on Jan. 25 against Jacksonville ... Bartow is the second winningest coach in program history, behind only legend Madison Brooks' 370 victories for the Blue and Gold. In addition, Bartow's .580 winning percentage also ranks second in the modern era for the Bucs, behind only Alan LeForce's .607 percentage.
Historic night at the free throw line for Bucs
The ETSU men's basketball team rewrote some records Thursday night at the free throw line ... Making 32-of-33 free throws on the evening was the first time the Bucs had made 32 shots at the charity strip since Feb. 19, 2011 in a game at Lipscomb ... In addition, junior guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa, Fla.) is now second on the Bucs' single game list for free throw percentage after going 12-of-12 at the line in the game ... He is second only to former ETSU great Dimeco Childress' 14-of-14 effort vs. Davidson on 2/9/2002.
Rembert hoping to stay hot as A-Sun schedule begins
Junior guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) has made the most of his increased playing time over the last two seasons ... Last season, Rembert ranked fourth in the A-Sun in 3-point field goal percentage at 39.7 percent for the year, and currently ranks first this year with a 44 percent mark ... This year, he has shown a marked improvement in his style of offensive play, and currently leads the team with 15.3 points per contest ... He also leads the league in made 3-pointers with 2.8 per game ... In fact, his numbers are good enough to rank him nationally in both percentage and total makes from 3-point range (see NCAA list to the left).
Difference between winning and losing for ETSU
Rebounding has been a particular indicator for the Bucs this season when it comes to wins and losses ... The statistics below show the differences for the Bucs is several important categories so far this season.
Statistical category Wins (11-0) Losses (0-10)
ETSU scoring 82.5 PPG....................... 65.7 PPG
Opponent scoring 72.8 PPG........................ 77.8 PPG
Rebounding margin -1.0........................................ -6.8
Shooting % .485.................................... .379
3-pt. shooting % .408................................... .306
Assists 13.6 APG..................... 11.1 APG
Merriweather continues to shine, posts double-double
Freshman guard A.J. Merriweather (Jackson, Tenn.) has certainly made an impression in the early going this season, and he continued to make more news with his third career double-double in the win over Kennesaw State (1/4) ... In that game, Merriweather also netted a career high with 19 points, while grabbing 10 rebounds ... His current team ranks are first in rebounding (6.2 rpg), fourth in scoring (10.7 ppg), first in steals (1.3 spg), and third in minutes played (27.2 mpg). ... He followed that effort with a career high 20 points in the loss at Mercer (1/6).
All-around effort by Gadsden-Gilliard impressive
Setting new personal bests with 12 rebounds and six assists in the win over Samford (11/21), senior forward Kinard Gadsden-Gilliard (Georgetown, S.C.) had people thinking "triple-double" when he added an 18-point effort to his statistical line ... The Bucs hope that KGG can make these types of efforts more consistent ... KGG responded to that expectation by putting together a 19-point, seven-rebound and seven-assist outing against Marshall in an 88-78 victory on Nov. 30.
Bucs have tradition of postseason appearances, success
The ETSU men's basketball team has enjoyed its share of postseason success and ranks as one of the nation's most prestigious basketball programs ... The Buccaneers have earned berths to the NCAA Tournament nine times (1969, 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2010) and NIT twice (1983, 2007) ... In 2011, the Bucs made their first ever appearance in the CollegeInsider.com Postseason Tournament, winning twice and advancing to the semifinals of that event ... It was the program's 12th postseason tournament appearance all-time.
Three-point streak for Bucs dates back nearly 20 years
Since Feb. 16, 1987 in a game against Davidson, the Bucs have made at least one 3-pointer in 815 consecutive games. ... ETSU was 0-for-8 in that 1987 game. ... The Bucs currently rank as the 7th longest streak in the NCAA, just behind Arkansas and ahead of Oakland.
Shuffling starters was the "new normal" for Bucs
Last season, ETSU head coach Murry Bartow used 17 different starting lineups in the team's 32 games ... Injuries and dismissals left ETSU's coaches searching for the right combination all season. ... Bartow hoped to find more stability with his rotation in 2013-14, but he had used five different starting lineups in the first five games of the year. ... Since that time, he has played with the same starting lineup in 14 of the last 16 games, with the team going 9-5 in those contests.
ETSU picked among nation's best "Prestige" programs
In the modern era for NCAA Division I-A basketball – marked by the expansion of the NCAA Tournament field to 64 teams in 1984-85 – the ETSU men's basketball program ranks in the Top 30 percent of the 300 programs that were eligible for the postseason at that time, this according to ESPN.com's "Prestige" ranking released back in 2008 ... Since that time, the Bucs have only added to their list of prestigious honors … The Bucs -- who have enjoyed nine NCAA trips, one NIT and one CIT berth, 14 20-win seasons, and a slew of conference regular season and tournament championships since 1984-85 -- ranked tied for 82nd out of 300 teams, meaning they were in the Top 27 percent of schools making the list. ETSU was ranked ahead of every current Atlantic Sun team, as well as former SoCon rivals Appalachian State, Western Carolina, Georgia Southern and UNC Greensboro. … In addition, at that time the Bucs ranked ahead of SEC schools such as Tennessee, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Mississippi State, Georgia, Mississippi and Auburn, as well as programs such as Notre Dame, DePaul, Bradley, Clemson and Fla. State.

We presented a major exhibition of Haitian art, the UK's first for many years. Nearly 200 paintings, sculptures and sequin flags by 35 artists from the 1940s to the present day trace the representation of Vodou, reflecting Haiti's historical experience through the supernatural.
Haiti is especially known for the art of its urban and rural poor. The label "naive" has often been applied to it, but doesn't do it justice. The imaginative power and visual intricacy of these artworks reflect the richness of Haitian history and culture. They are in sharp contrast to the country's familiar reputation for extreme poverty, natural disaster and political violence.
Haitian art is often at its most extraordinary when inspired by Vodou – a spiritual belief system followed by an estimated 90% of Haitians. With its roots in West African religions, Vodou includes aspects of Catholicism (most of Vodou gods are linked to Catholic saints), Islam, European folklore and freemasonry, as well as the religion of the island's Taino people, who were almost wiped out by the first Spanish settlers. This fusion reflects the history of a small nation at the centre of the Atlantic World.

Vodou's host of spirits who interact with everyday life inform much of Haiti's culture. The exhibition's title, Kafou, means "crossroads" in the Haitian Creole language. Crossroads have great significance for Vodou, since they are the place where the world of the living and the world of the spirits meet. Kafou is himself one of the lwas, as the Vodou spirits are called.
Vodou is never simply escapist. Its gods came into being in Saint-Dominque, as Haiti was known under French rule, during slavery. Saint-Dominque was France's richest colony. Its wealth was the consequence of a massive and brutal slave system – there were half a million slaves in Haiti by the late 18th century. Some of the Vodou lwa are connected to Haiti's extraordinary revolution of 1791-1804, when slaves and former slaves eventually defeated the world's most powerful army, led by Napoleon Bonaparte. This event sent shock waves around the world and inspired anti-colonial liberation struggles over the next two centuries. After the revolution Haiti was economically and politically isolated by the Western powers, which feared the spread of slave revolt. Its complex religion was misportrayed as black magic – propaganda that has influenced perceptions of Haiti to this day.
Haiti's extraordinary history is evoked in its extraordinary art, often through Vodou symbolism. Vodou remains a powerful imaginative resource for art that continues to reflect on more recent events, as well as its history. Although the terrifying Duvalier regime fell in 1986, Haiti continues to suffer from gross economic injustice – the richest 1% of the population own half the nation's wealth. The country is also still suffering the consequences of the catastrophic earthquake of 2010.
Many of Haiti's most celebrated artists over successive generations are well represented in the exhibition. They include Hector Hyppolite, Philomé Obin, Rigaud Benoit, Préfète Duffaut, Jacques-Enguerrand
Gourgue, André Pierre, Georges Liautaud, Célestin Faustin, Prosper Pierre-Louis, Antoine Oleyant, Frantz Zéphirin, Atis Rezistans and Edouard Duval-Carrié, all of whom developed distinct visual languages
to represent the gods, rituals and atmosphere of Vodou.
Surrealists including André Breton, Maya Deren and Wilfredo Lam were particularly drawn to Vodou in Haitian art – the dream worlds of Surrealism and Vodou appear similar. However Surrealism relates to an individual's unconscious and Vodou to the shared consciousness of a people. It has been said by the writer Réne Depestre that "the whole of Haitian culture is imbued with a popular surrealism, manifested in the Vodou religion, in the plastic arts and in the different forms of being among the People of Haiti. In Haiti even the political history is marked by Surrealism." It is this collective aspect of Vodou that gives Haitian culture its inspirational social significance, in the face of severe hardship and injustice, past and present.
Kafou is curated by Alex Farquharson and Leah Gordon.
There are free Spot Talks focusing on artworks in the Haiti exhibition every Tue 3pm, Wed 5.30pm, Thu 1pm and Fri 11am. Just ask at Reception to join us.

LEIDEN, Netherlands, 26 February 2013—Tilburg University is now running OCLC WorldShare Management Services live, in production, making Tilburg the first European library to adopt the cloud-based library management solution. Tilburg, ranked among the top 500 universities in the world in 2012, is a public research university in the Netherlands with approximately 12,500 students.
"We are indebted to TiU for their commitment to this project," said Eric van Lubeek, Managing Director, OCLC EMEA. "Libraries that have chosen to work with WorldShare Management Services are entering a new world of library cooperation 'in the cloud.' This will create network effects that will benefit all participating libraries exponentially. We are delighted that TiU has blazed a trail in Europe for this type of cooperation."
In the United States, there are currently 93 libraries already using the new OCLC WorldShare Management Services. In Australia, 12 libraries are piloting the services. OCLC WorldShare Management Services are gaining momentum in Europe as well. In addition to Tilburg University, libraries in Spain, France and the United Kingdom will soon switch on WorldShare Management Services as their sole library management solution.
Today's announcement comes just as the OCLC EMEA Regional Council Meeting gets under way in Strasbourg, 26 and 27 February 2013. Some 300 library professionals from OCLC member institutions are expected to gather for a program of presentations and events on the theme, "Dynamic data: a world of possibilities." The EMEA Regional Council Meeting will include a session given by member libraries that are adopting WorldShare Management Services.

If you find yourself hosting a New Year's party this year, or if you're searching for something to take to a New Year's gathering, try any of these simple, no-fuss New Year's appetizers. Trust me, it doesn't get any easier than this.
Seasoned Breadsticks
There's nothing like the aroma of freshly baked bread filling the house as guests arrive. These seasoned breadsticks give the appearance of homemade bread but without the fuss of making bread from scratch.
Roll prepared pizza dough or prepared puff pastry out and cut into thin sticks. Alternatively, curl into tubular shapes or curlicues or any shape you desire. Place on baking sheet and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, fresh rosemary, chili flakes or any other desired fresh herb or cheese. Bake in oven at 350 degrees until golden brown.
Olive Tapenade
In a food processor, puree pitted kalamata olives with anchovy, fresh garlic and 1 to 2 teaspoons of capers. For an extra boost of flavor, season with a couple of dashes of Sriracha sauce. Add olive oil to desired consistency. Serve with fresh bread or crackers.
Cheese Platter
Everyone loves a great cheese platter at a holiday get-together. You can find a wide array of wonderful artisan cheeses at Gerrard's Market, Trader Joe's or at most any other supermarket. Gather an assortment of cheeses and place them on a large flat serving platter.
Be sure to select a combination of flavors and textures – hard, soft, semi-soft and sheep, goat and cow's milk. After placing the cheeses, scatter dried fruits and roasted nuts around the cheeses. Place a basket nearby filled with breadsticks and crackers and a couple of bowls of flavorful fruit preserves for guests to spread.
Charcuterie Plate
Of increasing popularity on menus are charcuterie plates. Charcuterie usually consists of a variety of cut meats placed on a serving platter. Purchase selection of pepperoni, prosciutto, salami and serrano ham. Roll larger pieces into tubes and stack in groups on platter. Sprinkle with olives and peppers, using a variety of colors, flavors and textures.
Bacon-Wrapped Dates
It's always nice to serve something warm for guests at a holiday get-together and this one is a guaranteed crowd pleaser. Slice dates open lengthwise and remove pit. Fill cavity with piece of Stilton cheese.
Wrap stuffed date with strip of bacon, secure with toothpick. Bake in oven at 35 degrees until cheese is melted, serve warm.
Baked Brie in Puff Pastry
Thinly slice apple wedges and saut on stove top with butter and a couple of pinches of cinnamon and sugar. After the slices cool, fan them over a small wheel of brie. Cover the brie with prepared puff pastry, cut thin slices into puff pastry to allow for ventilation.
Brush puff pastry wrap with beaten egg. Bake at 400 degrees until puff pastry is golden brown. Serve warm.
Selection of Crostinis
Crostinis are the perfect base for numerous types of party food and only involves slicing a loaf of baked bread from the supermarket and topping with your favorite ingredients.
Purchase your favorite flavor of prepared hummus from your favorite supermarket, along with a couple of French bread loaves. Before the party, slice French bread into quarter-inch slices, brush both sides with olive oil, place on baking sheet in oven at 400 degrees. Bake just until slightly golden brown in oven, being sure bread is not crisp all way through. Spread with flavored humus and top with thinly sliced cucumber. Alternatively, top crostini with slice of brie cheese and thinly sliced apple or pear. Or select your favorite toppings or dips to accompany toasted crostinis.
I hope this helps you to enjoy a no-fuss New Year's night. Let me know how these recipes work out for you. Happy New Year to you and yours!

Co-op leads ethical way while global giants get thumbs down.
THE Co-operative Group has been the UK's most ethical company over the past 25 years, according to a survey.
Readers of Ethical Consumer magazine voted e Co-operative ahead of retailers Lush, Traidcraft, John Lewis and People Tree, the bank Triodos and the food and household product wholesaler Suma.
e organic farm Riverford and the energy companies Ecotricity and Good Energy also made the top 10.
ethical Consumer co-director Tim Hunt said: "Over the past 25 years e Co-op has been at the forefront of the ethical consumer movement.
"From its supermarket, which was the rst retailer to stock only Fairtrade bananas and ban products from the Occupied Palestinian Territories, to the pioneering ethical policy of its bank, e Co-operative Group has been a genuine ethical trailblazer. Many commentators have had their knives out for e Co-op in recent months. Ethical Consumer's readers, however, are able to see through the spin and realise that, despite the problems, e Co-op remains an ethical business at heart - at least for the time being."
Multi-national food giant Nestle was voted the least ethical company over the past 25 years in the survey.
Others companies making up the 10 least ethical companies were Monsanto, Amazon, Shell, Tesco, Barclays, Exxon, Walmart, Coca-Cola and Primark.
