Calling all Norfolk carers - get in touch if you need help
PUBLISHED: 11:45 30 January 2017 | UPDATED: 11:45 30 January 2017
A service which provides practical an emotional support for carers is urging people across Norfolk to get in touch if they think they could benefit from some extra help.
Each year hundreds of people in Norfolk become unpaid carers for a family member or friend who, due to illness, disability, a mental health problem or an addiction, cannot cope without their support.
People often don't realise they are carers, they're a husband or wife, son, daughter, relation or friend. As a result, they often don't take up any of the support which is on offer.
Norfolk Carers - a formal partnership of local carers' support organisations, commissioned by Norfolk County Council and five NHS Clinical Commissioning Groups and led by Norfolk Carers Support - is reaching out to people across the county who are caring for someone and who might benefit from some extra help.
Kevin Vaughan from Norfolk Carers said: "We have support workers in your area who can provide individual support, meeting at your home or at a community venue of your choice. They can help you with any issues and concerns you may have about your role as a carer, as well as introducing you to local groups and helping you access grants and respite."
Case study
Christine, 66, from South Norfolk cares for her husband who has Parkinson's, and a number of other health problems.
She said: "The stress creeps up on you. You don't realise you're taking on more and more until you're forced to take stock."
The crunch came for Christine when she had a panic attack caused by the strain of trying to support her husband's emotional health. Eventually, she found a lifeline during an open day in her local library where she met a Norfolk Carers support worker.
"It was the best thing that I could have done, finally I felt supported," she said.
Through Norfolk Carers, Christine was able to access a learning grant, which allowed her to do a writing course. But, she says, more needs to be done to make carers aware of the information, advice and support available,
"Norfolk Carers is an excellent organisation but more carers need to know about them and get tailored help."
Norfolk Carers is a one-stop service for carers in the county providing a range of services including practical and emotional support through a free Advice Line, Norfolk Carers Handbook, Time for You (breaks), Grants and Funding and Individual Support.

Slept in fairly late this morning, and I looooved it. I haven't had any tea yet this morning, but I'm sure I'm going to fix that soon enough.
Yesterday while waiting to feel more awake I had some green tea on the way to work, and some chai while I was at work. Only got to re-steep the chai once though, because I didn't really get many chances to run away from the front desk. Like I said before though, I could have had it much, much, much worse. Plus security at my work is really nice and some of them chatted with me and watched the front while I went and grabbed tea and food, or went to the washroom.
I didn't feel like going to get tea after work, so that was it for me. I might head over to pick up some tea somewhere today, or I might just stay inside. Not really sure what the plan is. Not even sure if I need to make a plan.

With more and more businesses using parcel couriers in London, there is of course an increase in the number of courier companies in London offering their services.
Knowing which company to use can be a bit of a lottery.
Many opt for using the overnight carriers as they are a far a cheaper option but it is not without its pitfalls.
There have been many horror stories of consignments being damaged or even going missing. The goods are transfered from vehicle to depot. Then loaded onto a trunk vehicle and delivered to a hub where all the shipments are sorted then loaded back on another trunk to another depot, then sorted again and onto a local vehicle. All this handling and loading increases the chances of damage and loss.
Tracking has of course helped reduce the latter but if your goods are either highly valuable or very fragile then you should think seriously about using a dedicated courier.
This is where the sameday courier service comes into its own.
Not only is it the fastest method of getting your goods delivered, it is also the most secure, with the same driver staying with your goods throughout the journey.
Many companies are now sending their goods using reliable sameday couriers between London and Manchester
These journeys are not cheap but many customers know the benefits, and when they are sending such things as hard drives, laptops and even passports, it is important to them that they are delivered both promptly and safely.
With the news that the economy is improving, many companies will be looking to get their goods delivered on a more urgent basis.

Authorities have arrested a man they believe threw an infant from a car along I-275 in Tampa, Florida, this morning. The 3-month-old boy died. 21-year-old Richard McTear Jr. was apprehended around 9 a.m. at 3803 Arlington Drive in Tampa. An off-duty news photographer found the child, identified as Emanuel Murray, in the southbound emergency lane near Fowler Avenue shortly after 4 a.m.About 45 minutes earlier, deputies were called to a home at 12414 North 15th Street for a report of domestic violence at the Marbella Apartments.
The caller, Jasmine Bedwell, said that she and McTear were fighting and that she and her 3-month-old son had been battered. Bedwell told the operator the man picked up the baby and threw him on the concrete.
She said he then picked up the child and took off in a blue 4-door Chevrolet Impala.
The baby was pronounced dead alongside the Interstate around 4:30 a.m. Investigators say he was the child taken from the Marbella Apartments.
Tampa Police later located McTear's car at 1601 River Cove in Tampa.
The car was found in the vicinity of Edison Elementary School, which was placed under modified lockdown for a time.
The southbound on-ramps to I-275 were closed at Bearss, Fletcher and Fowler Avenues for several hours as the investigation continued.
After his arrest, McTear was taken to Tampa Police District 3 Headquarters and then taken to the Falkenburg Road Jail where he is being held.
When our Dustin Chase asked how he could throw a baby out the window, McTear responded "It's a dirty game."

A BIRMINGHAM Mail 'hero' has finally collected her trophy after spending two months in India working with orphaned children -helped by the generosity of city pupils.
Carol Lyndon was at Chad Vale Primary, in Nursery Road, Edgbaston, to collect her Birmingham Mail and Pallasades Local Heroes award from head teacher Robin Haselgrove.
He collected it on her behalf last month during the awards ceremony at the Botanical Gardens.
But the real purpose of Carol's visit was to thank Chad Vale's pupils for raising #750 to help create a library at the orphanage in Gandhigram, Tamil Nadu, India.
Carol, former head of Kings Rise Community Primary in Kingstanding, where Robin was her deputy, had been at the orphanage since May 8.
She initially visited the deprived children's home last year as part of a group trip with Teaching and Projects Abroad following her retirement from Kings Rise in 2005.
Carol, 58, from Great Barr, who donated the remaining #350 towards the #1,100 library project, became a Local Hero due to her charity work in India.
She has now returned to England to show pupils at Chad Vale photos of the library which their fundraising efforts helped to achieve.
"Robin tells me that the Hero celebrations in June were really good, but it's really about showing the children my pictures from India of the new library," Carol said. "It was so satisfying taking money that the children from Chad Vale had raised.
"It is so humbling because the children there are so happy on so little."
Money raised for the orphanage was used to buy books in Bangalore - a 10-hour journey away - and renovate the room.
While in India, Carol also met up with orphan Vijaya Lakshmi, 21, who was able to have vital open heart surgery after she raised the money for the operation.
The retired head teacher is now planning her next mission to India: "There is an unused area of derelict land which I plan to get ploughed up and planted with vegetables so they can grow their own food. I have to go back because I just love the place."

Anyways, so with the sightseeing pretty much done I not only like hotels in Frankfurt but anywhere in the world. And the Ritz is one of them because of Coco Chanel having spent the later part of her life in an upstairs "apartement".So and now here is the kicker: the first time I went there: what do you think happened? Wearing just comfortable sandals and jeans? Exactly, I got turned away right after entering thru the revolving door. By a young emlpoyee in a black, knee-length costume. Having learnt from this experience and because I welcmed the challenge I returend a few das later -
And nobody bothered to look at me. Well, Pretty sure it was the attitude supported by what I was wearing which made me feel good. Style lesson learnt: Dress for the occasion. What my acting teacher used to tell us: the way you dress (costume) makes the attitude and the character. You would call this superficial? So be it. It still works.
Totally undisturbed I was able to take a stroll down the corridors all the way to the Rue Du Cambon exit (that famous one where Princess Diana left at night) and check out the Hemingway bar where men need to put on a tie. Its very intimate, small-and there is a typewriter. It gave me goose bumbs just to think of Hemingway and Fitzgerald having been in the same place. Also, I had the pleasure of watching an Eastern European family with their ill mannered children climbing over sofas and those exquisit armchairs without anyone calling them out. So tell me, do you think money makes the world go round and you dont need manners?

Homicide police are close to cracking the 2010 case of a man shot dead outside his Melbourne panel beating business.
A $1 million reward has been announced for information on the unsolved murder of Saleh Dheibech.
"Investigations thus far have taken us to a point where we believe we do know who was involved," Victoria Police Inspector Stephen White said on Sunday.
"We believe the announcement of this $1m reward may provide us with the breakthrough we need."
Mr Dheibech was shot while standing outside his Campbellfield panel beating business just after 9pm, on January 27, 2010.
Three men drove past in a car - likely a blue Subaru WRX - and one shot was fired mortally wounding the 51-year-old.
Mr Dheibech was able to make a phone call and friends found him in a pool of blood.

Let me ask you this:

Investigation into autism group home: Amaze responds to shock findings
Victoria's ombudsman has found that a teenager who allegedly sexually assaulted a housemate several times in a disability group home posed a threat to residents for months because of authorities' "shocking" failure to act.
An ABC news report by Yvette Gray and Loretta Florance draws on deliberations from Ombudsman Deborah Glass, who says the housemate, identified in her report as "Edward", was involved in a series of alleged assaults, including punching and sexually assaulting another resident and throwing an iron at staff, in the group home from October 2014.
He went on to allegedly rape the housemate, identified as "Robert", when he was trying to use the bathroom, and then threatened to kill him.
The report continues: During a subsequent investigation, Edward indicated he also could have sexually assaulted up to five other residents.
Ms Glass criticised both the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and service provider Autism Plus for not intervening or removing the child from the home earlier.
"Residents at the group home were not protected from harm and Edward, a vulnerable child with complex needs, was not provided with alternative accommodation or intervention services when he needed them to ensure his best interests," Ms Glass said in a statement.
"This case is especially shocking — not only because of the enduring impact of the trauma associated with sexual assault, or the acute vulnerability of those involved, but that this could still happen today despite the supports available to people with a disability."
Ms Glass said despite concerns, Edward remained in the group home until April 2015.
DHHS 'unreservedly apologise'
Autism Plus received more than $5 million in funding from the department in 2013-14, including more than $266,000 specifically for the care of Edward.
The ombudsman's report detailed an extensive list of failures, which saw Edward under-supervised and unmonitored, despite his involvement in 30 incidents of alleged physical assaults, sexual assaults and property damage.
In a statement, a spokesperson for the DHHS said the department "unreservedly apologise to the families who have been impacted by the failures in this matter".
The DHHS said work was already underway to address the recommendations in the report.
Earlier this year, the ABC's Four Corners program detailed allegations Autism Plus ignored claims of sexual abuse, prompting the Victorian Government to launch an independent review.
Victorian Disability Minister Martin Foley said what was seen on Four Corners was "incredibly concerning" and showed his department needed to do more to ensure people with disabilities were not let down.
A spokesperson for acting disability minister Jill Hennessy said an independent review by KPMG had identified a number of issues with Autism Plus's governance, management, oversight and training.
"The department has since placed a a number of conditions that it must meet in order to remain a registered service provider," the spokesperson said in a statement.
"We will continue to ensure that Autism Plus provides quality care and support that meets the complex needs of clients now and into the future."
It is understood that the department has placed no new clients with Autism Plus since April, a suspension that will continue until the provider meets the conditions set by the Government.
'Humane society' must do better
Ms Glass said in some cases, families of the affected people were first informed about the sexual assault allegations during the ombudsman's investigation.
She said the report was yet another reminder that more needed to be done to protect vulnerable people in care.
"I have in previous reports expressed concerns about the safeguards available to people with disability, and that the extreme vulnerability of some people will not lessen with the introduction of the National Disability Insurance Scheme," she said.
"Over 5,000 people with disability live in supported accommodation in Victoria; the department owes it to them, indeed to our need to be a humane society, to do better."
Fiona Sharkie the chief executive of Amaze, said the case demonstrated the need for disability organisations to have more trained staff, and for the NDIS to provide adequate funding for people with high needs.
"It's important that they [families] ask the questions and they also impress upon the NDIS … that adequate safeguards are in place by the service providers that are registered with the NDIS and that they are getting the funding they need to support the individual," she said.
Fiona Sharkie and Professor Anne Kavanagh were interviewed by the ABC at the Amaze office.
Professor Kavanagh is a social epidemiologist who is well-known for her work on health inequalities.
She is Professor of Women's Health and Head of the Gender and Women's Health Unit in the Melbourne School of Population and Global Health.
She is Lead Investigator on the Centre of Research Excellence in Disability and Health (credh.org.au) and Director of the World Health Organization Collaborating Centre in Women's Health. She is a member of the Victorian Disability Advisory Council.
Following is the transcript of Professor Kavanagh's interview with the ABC.
Q: As a mother with an autistic son, when you heard about the report findings what was your initial reaction?
A: "One of concern. I think any mother's worst fear is something happening to their own child and not knowing. And (a feeling) of anger, too, that this had been allowed to happen and nothing done about it much earlier".
Q: How hard is it to find appropriate care for a child who has autism?
A: "Particularly for children who have more severe symptoms, it's very difficult. Very few services actually provide good care. It requires high intensity support, and well trained staff and I really don't think there are a lot of services that can supply that at the high level we need.
"I know of kids that services won't work with because they don't have the skilled staff, resources and finances to support them".
Q: Are you worried that some of the issues identified in the report are widespread?
A: "It's hard to know, but you do worry. I do worry it may even get worse. We need to look at providing a proper amount of care (to stop) these kinds of situations happening again".
Q: Can you give some insight into caring for your son?
A: "My son is 14 and requires pretty much one-on-one support most of the time partly because he is not able to judge for himself situations of danger, for instance.
"He requires help with most of the things he does. Things are a lot better than they used to be partly because he's had a lot of positive behaviour support over the past few years, which has shifted some of the more problematic behaviours and made it easier for him to be part of the family and community. That's where good services come in.
"It's a real worry (through the National Disability Insurance Scheme) that we're not going to have a skilled workforce that can work with children with autism and other complex needs because the NDIS isn't flexible enough and isn't priced correctly to be able to do that. I hold great concern at the moment.
"To get quality care you need well trained staff and to retain those staff. And we need to be working with positive-type behavioural therapy. It can't just be reactive all the time".

Extra info for Iris: A Memoir of Iris Murdoch. John Bayley
This was once in 1917. Iris used to be happy with the truth that her father, who have been stated on a farm, was once in a Yeomanry Cavalry Regiment, King Edward's Horse. That most likely stored his lifestyles, because the cavalry have been not often in a position to get into motion in the course of trench struggle battles. Iris's mom, who have been an novice soprano of substantial promise, gave up her making a song while she obtained married. Iris inherited her making a song voice in a point, and was once constantly sorry that her mom had by no means long past on with a significant musical occupation. as a substitute she had Iris, with a tough start, following which she had taken a silent choice to haven't any extra kids. Iris advised me later that she knew this by way of intuition, even though her mom had by no means stated something approximately it. I had mentioned that if extra childrens have been born, a son between them, her personal lifestyles could were greatly various. because it used to be she had lived at the happiest phrases of equality together with her father and mother, ninety two —4— who had loved her. After the Irish issues the small family members had moved to England, the place her father had got a modest activity in a department of the civil provider. Iris's early life was once spent in a small semi-detached residence in Chiswick. She went first to a Froebel day college within the similar district. Then she used to be despatched to Badminton, a superb deepest boarding university for women close to Bristol. Her father's sacrifices for her schooling, together with the borrowing of cash, have been whatever altogether opposed to the instincts of a frugal and godly Belfast upbringing, even though by way of that point neither father or mother had any curiosity in faith, or affiliations with any church. Iris's early life used to be fortunately godless. Her urge for food for the non secular built in her Oxford days, nurtured by way of Plato and by means of her stories in philosophy. It used to be a part of the interior global of her mind's eye and not seemed at the floor. the way in which she fell in love whilst younger, and the folk she fell in love with, resembled in some extent the hunt for knowledge, authority, trust, which lots of people think the necessity to embark on sooner or later, no matter if younger or outdated. while i think there has been consistently anything either tricky and elusive approximately Iris, might be the circumspectness of her Northern Irish ancestors. Falling in love with those who represented for her non secular authority, knowledge, beneficence, even a strength that may appear darkly ambiguous and enigmatic, was once an experience within the soul's development and event; she craved it, wanted it, yet she used to be a ways too good ever to develop into enslaved. Like foolish younger Dora Greenfield in her novel The ninety three — IRIS — Bell, she may well escape whilst she sought after: good judgment was once the ultimate arbiter of her emotional impulses. Her sunny formative years, happiness in class, chuffed relatives together with her mom and dad, may perhaps have performed their half in giving her this want, as she grew up, for strongly contrasting sorts of event. yet together with her mom and dad she constantly appeared to go back, as I felt she did with me, to the pleased and enterprising innocence which appeared to were her common personality whilst younger.

We need a word.
Let's make some notes, shall we.
* I know that I need at LEAST 8 hours sleep every night. I can't function otherwise. I feel nauseous. I can't concentrate. I get emotional, irrationally so. I pick fights. The worst: I get migraines and lose whole days.
* I need to go for walks, preferably amongst some trees, to clear my head.
* I need to do yoga every week, to stop my neck seizing up.
* I need to eat a decent lunch and not snack as much (especially not in the morning).
* I need to take a day off every week.
I make excuses for being a workaholic, saying that 'it's for the business'. But that isn't true - it's for ME, some way of validating my existence as an artist. I often break all of my 'rules' because I think I can get away with it - I'm 25, supposedly young and resilient. But I exhaust myself. I take it out on the lovely people around me. It makes me horrible company.
5 months ago I met a man who could possibly be the love of my life. My work patterns were transformed within a week. Later mornings, earlier afternoons, Sundays OFF. It was so alien to me. But it's GOOD and feels right. Previous relationships have suffered from the commitment to my work and somewhat coldly, I never minded much. I shrugged it off, thinking that I'm better alone.
This time however, I don't want to neglect my loved one in favour of my career. I need to navigate a way to balance both.

Speaking of Star Wars...
I was just reminded of this scene....
I'm holding back tears now.
Also, you need to look up the lyrics to Vale Decem. You will cry even more when you hear the song that plays while he regenerates.
Probably no one here has heard of it, but there's this movie I watched called "Hachi: A Dog's Tale"
I didn't cry but I came fairly close. D:
I think I read a book of that, yeah that was sad
Okay, I admit... This was pretty sad, too...
The ending to FMA: Conqueror of Shamballa.The Gurren Lagann movies. Later, buddyAsuka getting ripped to pieces in End of Evangelion.The entirety of the Steins;Gate movie. It was so terrible.
Oh, and Up. Never forget Up.
i dont know why, but captain antilles death in star wars:a new hope always gets me . probably because hes my favorite character
The end of Braveheart, one of my favorite movies...
When the Star Wars Christmas Special was created.
Films rarely get me emotional, but man do Iron Giant and the first few minutes of Up pull my heartstrings.
I'm gonna be "That guy" but for me, this'd definitely have to be the scene from The Transformers: The Movie, where Optimus dies. I always get choked up/ cry when I see that scene pops in. ;~;
Star Wars: Episode III is pretty emotional for me. I know a lot of people hate it, but I loved it the most out of the Prequel Trilogy. While it's not enough to make me cry, all that stuff at the end was horrible, especially the whole thing with Anakin's wife, as well as his transformation into Vader.
Also, that part on Disney's Tangled, where the dad of Rapunzel is crying before they set the lanterns off. That made me cry.
If Journey's End was a movie, I'd cry like a baby at the end... like how I cried like a baby at the end of the comic.
That's a good one - I've never personally cried at it, but it certainly is sad.
The resurrection stone scene is always emotional for me. Death of loved ones is always something that plagues my mind often. The tears start flowing at that part if they haven't started already in that movie.
This broke me.
Why didn't you wait for him?
I am usually an emotionless stone when I watch movies, but the end of Marley and Me always make me bawl like a little child. OOOOH THE FEELS!
Reading it for the first time in the book was so emotional.
The saddest movie moment in my opinion is the ending of "The Green Mile". It always leaves me with a theoretical tear in my eye.
In Dumb and Dumber, when it turned out Mary was married and couldn't be with Lloyd. Gets me every time /mt
the ending of the green mile

Jordan F.
(Insider information) It's fair to say Playmaker is somehow slightly affiliated with another Team on the scene, with another Team of similar ideals and a similar passion for neo-retro 80s grooves, with another Team diversing itself as Rosso Corsa. In what exact ways —apart from being supportive— these bonds work isn't really important or relevant to the public. Let's just say we are FRIENDS.
All the above information is somehow irrelevant and subjective —hence we call it "insider information". What really matters is that Rosso Corsa have released the sophomore release of Mr. Jordan F., a young, aspiring 80s music designer of the Australian retro electro order, that took the scene from hindsight with his banger: "Definitely Miami". Proper dish he's serving. Proper 3 track release. And definitely more to come. So... get to the newly set RC-bandcamp now and grab it for free!

Did anyone scroll down that page to see what it says? I wont …
Date: 12 Mar 2016 06:02
Number of posts: 16
RSS: New posts
Of course people have scrolled down that page. It's harmless, because this is all fiction.
I'll summarize the contents for you: a picture of a fractal that's meant to be a "memetic kill agent" and a list of links to 001 proposals. It's just a hub for a particular variety of our particular brand of fiction. Totally safe, unless you have a trigger for fractals or lists (or works of fiction). Don't be afraid of the content on this site. None of this is real.
To be fair, I've learned to take warnings about not scrolling down somewhat more seriously, given the kinds of content that can show up without warning on the internet. We don't have any of that kind of content here, of course, but there's still some degree of wariness.
Memetic kill agents are 100% made up and completely harmless. They're just pretty pictures that make it feel like there are proper security measures for the article, since the 001 proposals are supposed to be top secret.
Also on the off chance that these actually killed people, the entire site would have been shut down ages ago and all the staff arrested for murder.
TBH, the 001 picture actually kind-of scared me the first time I scrolled down, but particularly because I was a bit more jumpy then and the "warnings" really set up a official and creepy ambiance to the article.
SCP-1875 was the other one that did the same thing to me.
There is only one real thing like that,
It involves you and how i'm not gonna give you the direction opposite of down.
Up and down are relative concepts and only valid in a continuously accelerating reference frame.
Nice joke. Not sure if sirpudding got it :P.
Never gonna let you the direction opposite of up
EDIT: Thank you Vanson, I derped
These situations crop up fairly frequently with new users, what with how vague we are about being a writing website, but there is a good rule of thumb that you and many others can use to know when things on this site are real and when they are fictional. Ask yourself, "If what I'm reading were true, would it be available to the public on the internet and hosted by a wikifarm?"
If the answer is no, you're safe.
I like to think the Foundation is real and use that exact meta-logic to help remain secret.
Seriously, how many of you would believe it if you saw 682 or 2137 on the news?
I normally wouldn't because supposedly the Foundation can turn these things into "Experimental Regeneration of the Wooly mammoth gone wrong" or "CD disc music discovered to have hallucigen effect" or whatever.
And if memetic kill agents were real hackers would have spammed them into your email, into major sites, and incapacitate a whole lot of people. Or all over this wikia.
I can see clickbait now…
You won't believe how big this lizard got!
Lovecraftian horror? Failed government experiment? Presidential candidate? YOU DECIDE!
This creepy statue rocks!
All the "Has science gone too far? Is this image real or fake?" memes would be out of control.
Yea, though I walk through the lowest rated pages, I will fear no coldpost: for thou art with me SCP Wiki; thy mods and thy staff they comfort me.- Proxymoron
I would believe it but then a few days later I would receive a fairly ordinary-looking email, which contains a certain something from a certain organization and is also self-deleting. And then I wouldn't know what you're asking me about.

Jaguar XFS (Diesel) Test Drive *UPDATE* Another drive Report added on Pg.3
1. Awesome engine
2. Loads of torque
3. Same gizmos as in the 5.0l
4. Pretty economical
1. Xenons sorely missed
2. High end music system missed
3. Revs up to 4500rpm only
The Diesel XF looks almost identical to its 5.0 l brother which we are already familiar with,except for the 18' rims shod with Pirelli Pzero's and the S badging at the rear.The Xenons headlamps are replaced with projector beams.
The XF S that comes to India is the Premium Luxury variant, which is a step lower than the Portfolio variant on the 5.0l v8. There are subtle differences when compared to its elder brother,
1. The deviating stitching on the dash is absent
2. The B&W music system is replaced with a Jaguar Sound System
3. There are only 3 interior options for the car Black on black, cream on brown as
seen in the pics, beige on black.
4. The Alcantara headlining is swapped with cloth headlining.
The S variant comes with a 3liter v6 diesel engine giving out 275 bhp @ 4000 rpm and a whopping 600 N-m @ 2000 rpm, there is a lot of torque lower down the revs,
but there is feeling of running out of revs when you push the car. The v6 engine is mated to a 6 speed ZF transmission. 0-100 comes in 6.4 seconds, the MID showed mileage of about 10 kmpl when driven in city and should give about 14 kmpl on the highways.
The XF diesel is priced very very competitively at Rs.47.90 lakh and that would be in the 5series,E class and A6 territory.

Great to see the diesel sibling finally here. Nice pics and boy does this car look elegant ! Power with 275bhp and 600NM torque seems impressive but with such figures i expected a 5.9 or 6.0 sec dash to 100. Strange. Its fast for sure but not fast as i expected.
& what is this that i see ??? NO XENONS !!! ??? Are you serious ! ?

AFAIK there are no options on any Jaguars in India, they are pre configured.
Yes, our XF comes with a 14 speaker Bowers & Wilkins music system.
The Drive:
The XF did not sound like a diesel, the insulation is awesome there is absolutely no engine noise in the cabin, I could not hear the turbos as well! The exhaust does not sound like a diesel, there is a subtle purr . IMO it would have been better if a 7 or an 8 speed gear box was on offer like the E class or the 5 series. The initial acceleration is phenomenal I would say it would leave its competitors in its wake! The suspension is a little bit on the harder side, but it absorbed the bumps on the road with ease. The steering felt lighter than its elder brother the 5.0. The brakes had very good feel and were very good at high speeds.

Nice review jagxf. Give us some more details on the driving aspect compared to V8. Did you get some good roads in Mumbai to open her up? A comparison with the F10 5 series would also be helpful.

WOW!! Review of XF Diesel!!
I think this must be the 1st Diesel XF review in the country. I dont think even the magazines have gotten hold of a car yet. Nice one Jagxf
Nice to see something different than the regular Beat and Nano reviews (Not that they are bad, dont flame me for that).
Nice review there. Car looks WILD.
Absence of Xenons is surprising. At that price point i am sure its gonna be a major hit.

Jaguar has got the pricing spot on! And 600Nm of torque in this sedan Wow..I can imagine the initial rush in acceleration. Will it leave the 530D in the dust?

yup. As I said, it sure is fast but with insane figures like those i expected it to be in the late 5s , say 5.9-6.0 secs to 100kph. In comparison the 530D (f10) is faster albeit by 0.1secs and the A4 3.0TDI by 0.2secs. Somehow, the car with the lowest performance figures out of the 3 is the fastest to 100 and 160. (highest power to weight ratio for the Audi)
Where the 530D takes 16.0secs to 160kph , the 3.0TDI takes 15.3secs. Surprise surprise !! The Jaguar seems to be the slowest out of the 3.

The fractions of seconds can be attributed to superior 4wd traction, and a slight power to weight advantage if any.
530d is a RWD, XF i assume is a RWD, while the A4 is AWD. Time taken by the cars to their 250kph limiters should be interesting.
Incidentally, i dont like the fact that Indians get pre specced cars, be it Jag, BMW, Merc, Audi etc. In this segment cost is NOT the only criteria. We know we're a cheap bargain hunting lot but not that cheap either. Give us a spec sheet to tick !!

Alas, that day still seems some distance away.
& Ash vtec - Yup the A4 3.0 TDI does have the most superior power to weight ratio of the 3. Perhaps that is what makes the miniscule difference. I have my doubts over how much difference would the AWD/RWD setup be making.

A gorgeous car!
At least in the looks department, it makes all its competition just shrink into obscurity. It may not be "quintessentially British" anymore, but that doesn't make the Jag any less desirable.

the performance figure are sexy.
but i was wondering if you can get that bowers & Wilkinson system as an option. its like 1500 watts of pure goodness.
and about the missing alcantara headlining. its kinda sad, lamborghini interiors n some supercars are specially designed in alcantara.
i saw one of these in my home town. its truly gorgeous. looks very chic and a class above the rest!( just my personal opinion). as i am tired of watching the Es and 5s.
nice review

Well the interiors look a lot more luxurious than the 530D's.
And the A4 3.0 TDI is a much smaller car, would be slightly cramped with 5 large people.
Jaguar = Luxury + Comfort + Performance
(I'm probably biased though, I've always liked British Cars)

Width being identical between the 2 coupled with the fact the the A4 has a big wheelbase for its class , i am sure it wouldnt be much smaller on the inside. I do agree though that 5 cannot sit comfortably thanks to the transmission tunnel. Also the extra length of the 5/E would be going into that precious extra legroom.

Sony has confirmed that a PlayStation 4 Will Support Voice Control as well as Facial Recognition by Peripheral PlayStation Camera. For the first time this has been said to show GameStop in 2013 and now these words were confirmed by a representative of the resource Polygon. This feature will be kind of some interest to the Gamers, but the difficulty may arise in different accent of people in different regions.
Sean Coleman, the Manager of improving retail sales and promotion of Sony Computer Entertainment of America, also briefly spoke about the possibilities of the camera shown in GameStop. He noted that when you add a set to their PlayStation Camera PlayStation 4, the pair began working together, improving capabilities and enhancing overall productivity.
New stereoscopic lenses will track the movements of the body in the game, and even recognize the faces of the players, which should simplify the navigation system. Sony has promised to tell a lot more details about the system closer to the time of release of consoles.
PlayStation 4 Will Support Voice Control
Sony has also announced a collaboration with 21 design company to provide exclusive content for the new platform. Given the wording of this phrase is to assume that the PS4 will be designed not as for the exclusive games and game content.
Price and Description of Accessories with PlayStation 4
A PlayStation 4 will be available for open market in Europe on November 29 at a price of 400 Euros. However, the console will not be shipped immediately with the camera PlayStation Eye, but you can get this accessory and always buy more for an extra 50 Euros. The package includes one PS4 Controller DualShock 4, a mono headset with microphone, Cables, Power Supply, USB and HDMI .
In this case, Sony has not announced any market restrictions or delays in the release of certain regions, as did Microsoft.

PREFACE: I wanted to preface this blog post by sending my love to all of those affected by the Westminster Attack. I have crossed that bridge a hundred times and know that many of my close friends and family have done the same. As of right now, nobody I know has been personally devastated by the tragedy, which I'm hoping remains the same. I wish everybody injured a full recovery and my thoughts are with the friends and families of those who have died.
In the past few months there is a place I have been to twice since I was introduced to it. Killen Falls is one of the many natural wonders available in Northern Rivers, NSW. Just south of Byron Bay in a place called Titenbar, surrounded by plenty of cows, but unfortunately very few tits and very few bars, sits a picturesque waterfall just a short drive off the Byron Bay exit off the Pacific Highway.
The spot is easy to find with Google Maps and is just a short walk through the bush and down a relatively steep slope down towards the rock pool. Because of the walk downward, you get a great view both at the top of the waterfall and in the rock pool itself- perfect for getting that Instagram snap (totally bragging, but mine is pretty damn good- @malzjames if you wanna check it out). Once you reach the bottom, it's usually pretty packed with people. It's not everywhere in the world where you can get your picture taken standing underneath a waterfall, but the reality is starkly different from what we portray- as the water doesn't feel like a refreshing spray or Mileen Klass in the jungle, rather it is more like having tiny pebbles dropped mercilessly onto your head by people who most definitely do not wish you well. That was a long sentence. Have a couple of shorties to break it up. And this one. There we go.
The water itself isn't exactly tropical clear, in fact it is pretty murky, but that's mainly due to the colour of the rocks that the water picks up and drags down into the pool. Don't let this put you off though, as it is unbelievably refreshing on a hot day as long as you take it slow and don't smash yourself into the many hidden rocks underneath the water. It's good for a swim and if you go any time other than summer holidays, then it's gonna be relatively quiet and peaceful.
If you're not fond of the water, then the cave underneath the waterfall is easily accessible without getting yourself soaked and this is where you're gonna get some good snaps and would also be pretty nice if you just wanted some chill time with a book or your thoughts. You're not going to find anything else here- be warned it is just a waterfall. But it is one of the nicest, most calming spots I have been in, and considering how close it is to Byron Bay, it is perfect for a half-day trip or even just a detour if you're strapped for time. Cheap, cheerful and absolutely stunning- sounds to me like the perfect date.
This isn't by any means a full-day tour or a thrill-seekers dream, but it is a quaint little spot that promises more than expected and will offer you a chance to sit back and take in the beauty that this region has to offer. These are the sort of places that you'll brag about when you get home, I can promise you that.
Thank you for reading.
Goodbye and fall deep.

New Dimension
One year is not a jubilee, but it is enough to tell a mature, grown-up project from a poor amateurish attempt. The magazine "Беларусь. Belarus" is one year old. This is a fact, no emotions involved. Just one year, but we believe the magazine has been a success, and 12 months has been enough for "Беларусь. Belarus" to step into a new dimension
There are various periodicals, all of them so eager to fill their niches and win over the reader. "Беларусь. Belarus" has a very noble and prominent goal — to tell the world the richness of this country, of this nation. Seems an easy task with so many bright events and people to speak about.
The world is ready and yearning for news from Belarus. We feel this attitude and try hard to inform our readers, including those outside the country, about what happens here, what Belarusians are like and how rich the history and culture of this country are.
The issue you hold in your hands contains a unique article about the values of Belarusian culture. "A museum more precious than the Louvre".
This entry in the visitors' book was left by one of the numerous tourists that left the Vetka Folk Arts Museum in the Gomel Region. It was not just a "polite remark" of one of the thankful sightseers, but a true reaction of an impressed person. It is this museum in the Gomel Region that attracts up to 60,000 visitors annually. It is no less than 6 times the population of the town. These rarities that saw what was going on in Belarus several centuries ago take us back to the sources of our cultural heritage. As a magazine, we can only help the readers to get to this wonderful and beautiful world faster.
Space stations and shuttles have taken man closer to the stars, but space still remains unfathomable and fills us with awe of the unknown. But what about the first Belarusian satellite that is to be launched in March?! This is great news, this is another step that may unveil another secret of the universe. As our correspondent reports, the preparation for the launch is underway. The satellite, created by a hundred companies and agencies, has already been tested in Russia's Federal Space Agency. BELKA is unique, as no other country of the world can make satellites of the kind. A great achievement even before the launch, isn't it? Who knows, March may become the month to open Belarus' space era.
Belarus already has a star, by the way: 17-year-old Katya Domankova from Minsk won the 25th annual Super Model of the World contest in New York, leaving behind 38 beauties from all over the world. Belarusian fashion designers presented their collections in Rome, and the Italian public was deeply impressed by the Belarusian style making its way on the catwalk. Belarus is welcome in Europe and the world with its beauty and fashion. This is another leap into a new dimension.

OK, so a 2-2 draw against North Korea is far from ideal preparation for a World Cup tournament but then Greece have made a virtue of taking people by surprise. You do, however, suspect that even the most passionate Greeks will be surprised if the 2004 European champions make it to the second round of the World Cup in South Africa.
Their style of play is well known and, while still very difficult to play against, is not impossible as their failure to emulate their magnificent European Championship success in Portugal demonstrates. In 2004, the uber-organised defence throttled their opponent's attack while hitting them ruthlessly on the counter. These days, the team's tactics are largely unchanged but critics have argued that they're too predictable and the current squad have not been able to emulate their predecessors.
Most of the 2004 squad have, unsurprisingly, moved on. Among them former Bolton player Stelios Giannakopoulos, legendary goalkeeper Antonis Nikopolidis plus the centre halves Traianos Dellas and Michalis Kapsis. However Angelos Charisteas (who scored the only goal in the Euro 2004 Final) continues. As does Giourkas Seitaridis, now a veteren with 68 caps.
Other players English fans will be aware of are Liverpool centre half Sotirios Kyrgiakos and Georgios Samaras, once of Manchester City and latterly of Celtic. The rest of the squad seem to be made up mostly of domestic-based players. Whether this will prove to be a strength or weakness remains to be seen.
Greece's top scorer in qualifying was Theofanis Gekas, a player well-known to those who read the Bundesbag as a player who mostly seems to perform well for bad Bundesliga teams. He was the league top scorer in 2007 for Bochum. Recently, he has been seen scratching his head at Berlin's Olympiastadion as he watched Hertha implode. He has just signed for the Frankfurt club where the Bundesbag predicts he'll score loads of goals.
Qualification itself was arduous. After finishing runners-up to Switzerland they had to overcome a tough but dour Ukraine side. Drawn into Group B for the tournament, they face tough challenges against Nigeria, South Korea and Argentina. I personally cannot wait to see what Diego Maradona makes of Greece's defensive tactics and sniff a potential upset. That said, the prospects of a place in the Second Round don't look too favourable.
One crumb of comfort for Greece coach Otto Rehhagel (who masterminded the team's 2004 triumph) is how Inter demonstrated that non-possession football can still win big matches in the Champions League Final last Saturday. Whether Rehhagel's players will have the ability to control the opposition the way Mourinho's men did against Bayern is unlikely. However, the Greeks are passionate about their football and to see them progress would be welcome if not too easy on the eye.

In honor of my Dad, here's a few things I love about him:
- He's the best Pop Pop to my boys.
- He's always there for us, his family, no matter what. He can change your air filters, install your wood floors, change the brake pads on your truck...he does it all :) I'm convinced he can fix anything with some bungee cords and a little bit of superglue.
- He taught me how to fish...and I LOVE IT.
- He only missed ONE of my tournaments when I played softball as a kid, and that's because he'd just had knee surgery. I hit my first home run during that tournament, and I did it for my Dad. I don't think he ever missed another game my entire high school sports career.
- He tells the same story, sometimes 3 times...I love that.
- He eats RRREEEEEAAAAALLLLLYYYY SSSSSLLLLLOOOOOWWWW, but I think some of our best conversations have happened while waiting for Dad to finish his dinner :)
- I walk - and run - just like him.
- He has only ever loved my Mom. I'm lucky to have a dad who loves his wife so much - and who taught me to expect nothing less than that in my own life.
I love you, Daddy. Hope you have a wonderful Father's Day, because you are THE MOST WONDERFUL father.

John Beresford is now 46, and he played for Newcastle from 1992 through 1998, largely in the Kevin Keegan era, and he fitted into that team well because of his attacking style.
John Beresford – former Newcastle left back
John played at left back during the time Warren Barton was at right back and Warren now the chief football analyst on Fox Soccer in the US which broadcasts the Premier League games.
John believes we have too many foreign players in the squad, and he;s probably right.
This is what John said in the Newcastle Journal today:
"I think what's been proved last season is we need to get bigger, better and stronger in all aspects." "In the first couple of weeks the staff and players need a good rest and now the scouting system has to click into place and make sure they get the right people."
"I'd prefer them to go down a little bit more of a British route. When we signed five French guys in the January window, I didn't know any of them. Don't get me wrong, I think it's good to have a sprinkling of foreign players, but I think we have overloaded a bit too much."
"I'm not the manager, he's got to decide. Alan Pardew's got to look at it and say 'this is the way I'm going' and he's got a certain style he wants to play, which is fine." "But I think when you look at certain teams, and I know we're not Manchester City or Manchester United, but what I do believe is that we are like Everton."
"I think their blueprint is mainly English and British players and they do try to have home-grown in there too." "I just think that helps in the Premier League if you've got a spine of that, and I think that's where we should be competing."
"You don't have to spend fortunes and you can pick and choose your players and they've proved you can be successful doing it that way." "All Newcastle fans want is to be proud of the team again. We don't want to be getting to two games left of the season and be worrying where we are going to be in league situations."
"I was getting a little bit worried for us, it hasn't been a great year." "But I think it could be a fantastic year for us if we learn from it, and I think if we get the right players in and react positively from it then the season will start well."
The problem with buying British players is they are so expensive and a good case in point is what West Ham have done in signing Wolves winger Matt Jarvis last summer for £10.7M from Wolves, and look set to sign Andy Carroll for £15M this summer.
Does anybody think close to £26M for those two Englishmen is good business?
Newcastle signed five Frenchmen in the summer for a reported £18M, so it's not hard to see why Newcastle tend to buy from the continent and France in particular.
But we are also now overloaded with foreign players and we hope we can sign 18 year-old England U21 International Will Hughes for £10M from Derby this summer.
And we are supposed to be interested in Irish International 24 year-old Alex Pearce from QPR, who is available as a free agent.
It would be good if we could get some British players into the club this summer and keep the ones we already have – although we have already lost Steve Harper and Danny Simpson, since their contracts run out at the end of this month – and they have not been renewed.
What do you think?

we all know you have to spend just to stay still in our league which is ONE of the many reason we finished so low this season just gone so if we only bring in a couple we could find our self's in the championship very soon sad i know this club really deserves better 🙁
just hope the couple that come in make our pretty decent team complete
really think we should push on and try signing Lukaku he and cabs along with benny and marv would be fantastic
To blame our seasons down fall on foreigners is a bit rich! If no one has covered the lack of tactical nous a thousand times: it must be in the nine hundreds.
There has been a lot of unrest from Demba Ba, because Alan played him and others: out of position. This lead to a move out: which cause even greater disruption? Before any one jump on the foreign band wagon: Andy Carroll exited his way out! Joey Barton caused enough distractions of his own! Premiership players whether foreign or otherwise: come with baggage. And don't we know it!
Alan is capable of getting the tactics right. I can't remember any long balls out from defence when Alan picked a team against Liverpool: in the FA cup final. He picked a team in Jan 4 2012 that beat Man U three nil at our ground. No long balls! We drew against Spurs two-two. No long balls!
A total contrast to last season! Alan seems to have one good season: followed by a disaster next. Nothing to do with foreign players! The season West Ham played in that final: they finished ninth in the premier league. Then he goes and gets the sack! Poor tactics! Players playing out of position! Better players on the subs bench: than on the field.
These are the issues that have to be addressed!!
On the basis that we have to have at least 8 British or homegrown players in the squad I think we do need to be looking at British players as the current British players we have are well below the standard of foreign players we have. Krul and S Taylor are the only UK/ homegrown players that are good enough to be regular starters.
Ibiza, I agree, the concept of the "Plan" was a good one and I have no problem with it as it should and could, move us steadily forwards and upwards.
The fact they ditched it halfway through the first year, by resting on their laurels of a 5th place finish, caused total disruption through lack of progress and investment.
Bringing in 5 players in January was a knee-jerk reaction to the consequences of their failure. To now say the 5 players were brought forward from this season is totally contemptuous. Without investment, every year in this league, you go backwards and rapidly, which is what we did.
We have some really good players, but they need support and back-up, which we don't have, but we should be bringing it in this summer.
We desperately need strength in defense; we need genuine wingers, with pace; we need at least one striker, probably 2 to be honest. Will we get them? Who knows, but the noises coming out of SJP do not instill any confidence!!
"I'd prefer them to go down a little bit more of a British route. When we signed five French guys in the January window, I didn't know any of them.
How could he not have known at least Debuchy is beyond me.
We have had plenty of british and locals playing this year. No less than any other team. Our best team might not have that many in it but that because we can afford the best english players and to be fair not that many cut it on the highest level anyway.
iv'e never known a billionaire chairmen to be afraid of spending money IMO i think he bought the french lads for this season so he won't need to buy any now, just like his SD empire he's using cheap foreign ppl to keep his business running, out of all the millionaire & billionaires out there MA must be a laughing stock.
i just hope some 1 gets on the phone to Sir Richard Branson and plead to him to buy our club
Sazzer I agree we have played plenty of British players this year but really they have not been good enough. I love Shola but he would never be in my starting 11.Perch is a decent squad playrer but again would not be a starter for me. Simmo was better than many would have it but he has hone along with Harper. Gosling? no thanks. Fergie best of the rest but probably still needs a year on loan to get up to standard,
All the pundits, ex players and so-called experts seem to not have a clue about what their talking about. They always take an easy option and blame Newcastle's failure this season on too many French/foreign players – have they not seen that the majority of them are in and around their national side's squad? It's as if they're determined not to pin a blame on the real culprits: Pardew, Ashley, Llambias, the coaches and medical team because they're BRITISH! The simple fact is Newcastle have got some fantastic players and good back up players, some potentially good youngsters and a great scouting set up but the ridiculously poor coaching, management and medical section is hampering player's progression, ability and fitness. This is all to be topped up by Ashley and Llambias failing to show ambition and upgrade the staff to match the players and scouts ability. A long struggle ahead seems likely, unless there are big changes this summer to the staff and 2 wingers, a forward or 2 and CB are acquired. Looks like the struggle it is.
On the Dries Mertens link. This is the left winger I've been drooling over for the past couple of years and craved for the Toon to sign. A fantastic player with ability to score, assist and take on a man + a great set piece specialist. Unfortunately he'll likely have a price tag between £10-15M; well worth it in my opinion but it's unlikely to appeal to Ashley's shrewd business mind. Even if it did happen, Pardew would suck the attacking zest out his play and turn him into another Jonas.
marc I stand corrected: but as you say: Alan's tactics were spot on! Don't forget Santon covered a lot of ground. I don't think it was all hoof ball?
Taking that aside I think you get my point. Alan needs to stop drinking his own bath water. He needs to find his game, because although he's been accused of hoof ball tactics: I honestly don't think that's his game! And if it is, well is not very good at it. For a start Big Sam relies on set pieces to help him out. George Graham used to rely on the back to push out. Our set pieces were none-existent! Our back four were not working as a unit!
Our defence was solid the year we finished fifth. The midfield helped out our defence. We played as a unit! Completely different: this time round!
I'd love the time to analyse Alan's long ball game. None of the clubs he's worked for are renowned for it. Add all that to Colo being homesick-with the injury problems. Lack of training on the pitch! Then who knows how we'll fair next season? But like everyone else there is this feeling at the pit of my stomach: that lessons aren't learnt. Massive protests! And I mean massive! Hope I'm wrong.

Only a few days are left to file tax returns. If you believe you will not be able to file before the April 15th deadline, it is a very good idea to file for an extension. It will give you six more months to prepare and file your taxes. To file for an extension, the fastest method is to use the IRS's Free File service. If you prefer using a paper form, you can file Form 4868 and send it to the IRS before April 15th. You can then have until October 15th, 2014 to file your tax return for 2013.
Anybody, irrespective of their income level or tax bill amount can use the IRS free tax-filing extension service to get an automatic six-month extension to file their tax return.
Late filing of taxes attracts a fee, which usually is 5 percent of the amount of taxes owed each month that it remains unpaid. The penalty can reach up to 25 percent of the taxes owed. To avoid penalties, you must file for an extension before the deadline. After the deadline, your tax bill will become tax debt, and the IRS will begin to charge penalties and interest on it.
Getting an extension to file does not mean an extension to pay taxes. The deadline to pay taxes is still April 15th and the IRS charges interest on unpaid taxes. The interest rate stands at three percent and is compounded every day. The IRS also charges a late-payment penalty, usually 0.5 percent per month.
You must file for an extension if you believe that you do not have the necessary documents you require to complete your tax return. It is better to use an extension than to file an incomplete or an erroneous tax return. If you know you owe taxes, but still need time to prepare your return, it is best to pay an estimate of the amount, so that you avoid interest and the late payment penalty.
Certain taxpayers due to their unique circumstances automatically get an extension to file without having to file Form 4868. They include taxpayers living abroad, the military and other servicemen serving in combat zones, and those affected by recent natural disasters.
