Despite the triple-X ending there is also triple-X tough fighting in "Hotel Berlin", with "tough" meaning a hotel fight in true submission style. Without much ado and with no back story, Jens and Jonny enter the hotel room and immediately begin to fight. Still completely dressed, the two opponents go into a clinch and it is clear from the start that this is going to be a tough fight. The boys punch eachothers' bodies and stop at nothing to give eachother a good grilling. Jens is cunning and agile and repeatedly gets Jonny into leg scissors. In the third round the boys strip down to their underwear. Jens is wearing a hot "Borat outfit" and Jonny sporty speedos. The fight becomes more and more aggressive, with boxing and plenty of hard spanking. Additionally, Jens tries to incapacitate Jonny with kicks, some aimed at his private parts. Here are boys who want to fight and who know how to. They pull at their pants and give eachother extra wedgies. In the fourth round we see the first ball-grabs, not gingerly, but full-on. This is followed by attacks such as pressing a sock or a foot in the face etc. After about half an hour the fight turns erotic, and although we still see some great fight scenes these become a little calmer now or end in ball-grabs. As for the fighting, this is probably the best triple-X yet. The rest you'll have to find out for yourself!

Discussion in 'Windows 8' started by Misaki2010, Apr 13, 2011.
You need to login to view this posts content.
Every time when I start the Windows it starts with the aero theme but it's working as a basic.Then I have to change to basic and to choose again Aero if I want to have an aero.
Neither Chrome stable nor beta will play flash audio
FF 4 crashes constantly, might be a flash problem as well.
It runs mint other than that. I'll post back if anything else comes up.
Thinkpad Edge 15
H55 chipset Core i5-520M 4GB RAM
hmmm, who would have thought a build of an OS still more than 2 years before going 'Gold' (as this build is almost 7 months old) has bugs in it?
Okay, I might be writing this on Firefox 5 alpha 2 (Aurora), but a web browser is a bit different to a whole OS! plus I believe it updates...
I'm writing this on Firefox 6 Alpha 1 (Nightly).
They're completely different as Firefox 5 isn't going to take 2 years to release, lol, Firefox 5 will be out by June, and we'll be on Firefox 7 by the end of the year... Whereas Windows 7 will either be out late 2012 o early 2013.
These kind of things were obviously going to happen. I sincerely hope all of you that are running W8 are doing so on test machines, or at the very least have good backup software. I've posted before that it would be very advisable to wait for the official beta, as I am.
Imho, the risks of malware from torrents, system instability and the possibility of data loss are simply not worth it.
That was exactly my point, Windows 8 is far from a 'safe' environment!
I have actually been running the Firefox test builds since after a couple of days of using Firefox 4, when it cam up as updated to Firefox 6a1 I thought I'd see what other builds are available.
Technically I believe these aren't 5.0 and 6.0 alpha's using traditional numbering schemes, I think they're just willing to up the numbers because those that really don't know anything see the unrealistic upping of the numbering of Chrome etc as meaning its better.
For me, these alpha Firefox's actually work better than Firefox 4. No more freezes, especially when having the mouse over a flash object and using the mouse button to scroll up and down on the page (turning off acceleration and flash acceleration did't help that).
flash works for me on Firefox 4.0 and doesn't crash at all, I'm using M1 build, Firefox 4.0 x86, and Flash Player 10.3 Plugin Beta 1 (10.3.180.42)
yes, that's really strange...
I'm using Windows 8 as a default OS now, everything works great, except antivirus suites, I have to find a good one that works on 7, avast is out of question because it gives me BSOD, i'll wait a few more days for a proper activation method and try to install Microsoft Security Essentials. About what you said with instability and malware, you're perfectly right, but thanks God I know how to protect myself from those thing even without an antivirus
oh yeah, you're all right, this M1 version looks like BS OS and feels like warm wet stinky cow dung.
Maybe the improvements - or call it whatever you like - are under the hood?
There's no reason to install or use this, even cause it looks like windows 7, no major difference at all.
I can see it clear now: windows 8 won't be a MILESTONE in the windows family - rather a quickshot!
Is this release really the result of one year developement?
I guess it was just a ms marketing joke to release this version cause the timebomb stops this release at 23rd of april!
"shhh, let's leak it for the rumor!"
Any effort for this release makes no sense at the moment.
The first M1,M2,M3 builds from windows 7 were more stable and much better.
Under the hood because they're locked. Windows 7 M1 also looked like Vista, only the start menu and the action center were different.
>Risk of malware from torrents
What torrents? I used the BetaArchive FTP server to download the ISO from. Besides the torrents posted here are all legit. And there's no instability as far as I've tested. And again I don't see how there's any potential data loss.
This build seems to me like "Windows 7 with a few neat extras and some performance improvements". Nothing unstable about that in my eyes!
None of the versions posted are legit as you put it they are leaked versions. When they are legit you can download beta from M$.
That makes no sense, either it's stable or it's not. 7850 is fine, not a single BSOD, hang.. everything just works for me.
If you are gonna sit there and throw all kinds of crap at it then yeah of course it'll get screwed up eventually, goes for any OS.
Try using it like a regular install, office, flash, browser maybe few little apps, nothing crazy and it performs just as good as 7.
you are not supposed to run win8 outside a virtual machine, it's not ready yet. many fix and updates to come.
It's very clear that hackers will target this leak and try to package something undesirable into it and then release torrents/releases for it.
Please excercise caution and practise best methods when dealing with unknown sources of software. Use Virtual Machines (when it's possible) or be prepared to lose your installation and reformat. Never use these OS's to access bank details or other sensitive information.
I also have ntvdm.exe and ntvdm.dll in system32 and in C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-ntvdm-system32_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7850.0_none_72bf7f077777cfe9

has someone tried to join a homegroup?
The first time i've installed 7850 build it joins without problems, after format and re-install it says that the password is wrong???
changed twice from the server computer(seven ...) but with no luck...
did you ever get flash audio to work on your browsers?? i am having the exact same problam!!! arrrrgggghhh!!!!
Solution: Install Windows 7 SP1!!!
It seems to have escaped people that this Windows 8 build is 7 months old, has at least missed out on 7 months of security fixes if not more, and there's literally zero guarantee any virus scanner will work properly on it.

Google India's Rick Harshman said out customers don't get as many questions and concerns from customers about security as they do about privacy.
Google India said on Thursday that security was the most important thing in its cloud service offerings, which have seen greater adoption in India over the past few months.
Google has three data centres that went live in Mumbai in November last year and offers services like big data, storage and networking. Google competes with the likes of Amazon Web Services and Microsoft in the clud computing space.
According to a Rightscale Report on public cloud adoption, AWS is the market leader in the public cloud space, followed by Microsoft Azure. Google has an 18 percent market share and was aiming to catch up with competitors.
He said Google was seeing "interest and momentum" in India from startups and small and medium businesses (SMBs), as well as large enterprises.
During an interaction in New Delhi on June 14, Google Cloud Asia-Pacific Managing Director Rick Harshman said that the bedrock of Google's cloud offering is around security, "making sure that we provide the highest levels of security and operational excellence for companies to be able to run successful and scalable businesses."
Google's cloud customers in India include Ashok Leyland, goibibo.com, Hero MotoCorp, Policybazaar.com, Quikr, Yaatra, SBI Cards, Hike Messenger, Vistara, ShareChat among others.
"Security is always going to be top of mind for customers," he said, adding that they don't get as many questions and concerns from customers about security as they do about privacy, given the recent controversy surrounding data mining around Facebook and Cambridge Analytica.
India is working on guidelines around data protection under retired Supreme Court judge BN Srikrishna, which are expected to be released this month. The recently-released telecom policy also mentions some proposed standards for data encryption, which could have a potential impact on cloud providers in India.
"We need to be aware of what governments are potentially proposing and if there is need of any potential changes, we will evaluate that," Harshman said.

Essex Property Trust Inc. agreed to buy BRE Properties Inc. for about $4.3 billion, creating the largest publicly traded apartment landlord on the U.S. West Coast.
Shareholders of San Francisco-based BRE will receive 0.2971 Essex shares and $12.33 in cash, the companies said in a statement. The terms, the same as announced Dec. 9 when talks were disclosed, value BRE at about $56.21 a share based on yesterday's closing stock price.
Buying BRE will expand Essex's holdings in California, particularly in the San Francisco Bay area, one of the hottest U.S. apartment-rental markets. The deal will provide greater competitive advantage, said Michael Schall, president and chief executive officer of Palo Alto, California-based Essex.
"By combining the strengths of the two platforms, which have significant geographic overlap, we expect to realize operating efficiencies and further enhance our growth profile," Schall said in the statement.

i think its nice if they can use the name N8 again for their flagship. N series name just sounds very sophisticated and upscale. :)

It just gets to me, The reason Nokia will name their flagship the Nokia 8 is because they want to compete with the Galaxy S8 and the iPhone 8

i think Nokia will be ok with this phone, and then it's a must to go upwards on revenue
Why does the low end one have capacitive keys but this one has stupid onscreen buttons. Ain't buying anything with onscreen buttons, sod that.
If it comes with Carl Zeiss and would have Xpress Music Im yours Nokia
Funny thing is.. look at where they placed the phones. If the position of the camera for both phones are the same.. it's pretty unfair. The left phone is at the end of the bar but the right one is at the centre of the bar. Pfft! Tactics much huh!
people be like huge bezels i will be like , its a nokia made how nokia wants when nokia wants with nokia's team so keep on with the bezel talk i will just buy this cause its nokia, i dont need apples sammies or onepluses to get busy with this cause this is the real deal people , king is back
Do the people who keep repeating the stupid "This is not the real Nokia" statement even read the news?
Bezels look big, but at least they have on screen buttons for easy reach instead of the capacitive ones not centred in the bezel but waaaay down the bottom HTC style like the Nokia 6.
Seems like nokis is giving direct compition with numbers too this year to samsung(S8, Note 8) & apple(Iphone8 & plus)...!

we used to call love the unfolding tomb
begotten; not made.
the ephemeral illusion of cavalry
our total history of the dream as it turns to sand
is it that: I am You, and You are Nobody?
returning soul for the endlessness of the time-after "it"
whatever "it" is.
the place where you first descended, eons ago?
which is today, a rewind of the cinematic tape loop
conversation we were having in July and continuing in June
with new grass above our heads
and nobody to hold your hand
Because You are too far away.

It wasn't #1 vs. #2 but it was the next thing: #2 vs. #3. It had MIAC championship playoffs written all over it. It was 2nd place St. Thomas at 3rd place Augsburg. And the Tommies almost blew a 17-point lead before beating the Auggies 75-72.
Augsburg out-shot St. Thomas 51 percent to 44 and 89 percent to 74 from the FT line. But the Tommies won the possession game and got off 10 more shots.
Noah Kaiser scored 24 for St. Thomas, including the pair of FT that made it 75-72 with :20 remaining. Andy Grzesiak-Grimm scored 20 with 8 boards for Augsburg.
The Tommies scored 14 straight points to break out of a 26-all tie late in the 1st half, and they never trailed thereafter. It was 40-29 at the end of the 1st half, 53-36 early in the 2nd, and still 61-50 midway through. But the Auggies were within 1 at 73-72 with :39 left on a jumper by Andy Siedlitz. That's when Kaiser made his game-winning FT.
Gustavus is 12-3, St. Thomas is 12-4, St. Olaf is 11-5 and Augsburg is 10-6.
Player of the Day
Bobby Fong of St. Olaf scored 36 points in a 74-57 win over Bethel that kept the Oles in 3rd place in the MIAC.
Coach of the Day
The Minnesota Timberwolves defeated Kevin McHale's Houston Rockets 100-91 to get to .500 (12-12) for the 1st time in 5 years. Ricky Rubio is a big part of the turnaround, but I remain convinced that Rick Adelman is an even bigger reason for the Wolves high caliber of play this year. This guy can coach.

Hi Guys,
I'm back again with another challenge entry for the GinaK March Release. This time I'd like to showcase my attempt at the Cracked Glass Challenge. I didn't have any UTE, but instead used Ranger crackle paint. This technique always reminds me of my grandmother's very old and delicate china, with spidery cracks everywhere. I LOVE how this card turned out and even took a close-up pic for you to see. While the crackle paint was wet, I spritzed the image with gold glimmer mist for extra effect.
Here is a picture of the finished card:
Thanks for looking!

The content that is covered makes the learning objectives approachable. Most student will have some prior knowledge and experience with the content being covered which will help with engagement. I will cover the digital footprint and use myself as an example by searching my name on various search engines.
U1 Day 8-9: PD Discussion Topic
I think a lengthy discussion on the pros and cons of using computers for various types of communication would be a great place to start. Asking how computers and communications impact students education and how it will impact their future will be interesting.
I think I will update the lesson by using their journal entries (their lists of computer-based communication mechanisms) as our list of methods for the chart they make. This will make the lesson much more approachable (an up to date!) As the list will be extensive, it will be a good exercise to group different mechanisms into larger categories first. These categories can be put on an axis of the level of exposure vs. the level of personal contact they require. The "Comm methods chart" lesson will be more relevant, then.
I do like the privacy activity a lot. I would also like their input about situations they have experienced.
The idea to have them create LinkedIn accounts is great. Maybe have local HR people come in and evaluate them and talk about how to present themselves online as a supplement.
I definitely plan to use the articles that were posted. Students need to understand that they cannot trust everything they see on the Internet. Computer systems can be hacked and this is a reality in our world today. I would also use the Snap Chat app as an example of why it is important to be careful about what you share on the web. Many students do not realize that just because they delete something, doesn't mean it is gone forever. Awareness and responsible use of the Internet will be a focal point for our small discussions as well as our whole class discussions.
I especially liked the article regarding the use of social media in hiring decisions. We've had several instances of social media being used to bully or for sexting. Students should be made aware of how their activity on social media can have lasting effects. I liked the suggestion of students creating a LinkedIn account. I might include a resume writing activity.
I think this would be a great discussion into privacy and accessibility. These lessons are relevant because students still post everything without seeing potential consequences. I would like to focus on the aspects of the lesson that point out flaws in digital communication (i.e. Snapchat). There are also some great insurance ads that start with a family posting vacation photos and stating to the world how long they would be away from their house. In the meantime, the person auctions off all their stuff.
One technique I can use to help my students identify the impact of internet communication is to have students write two journal entries. (1) Write an experience you have had on the Internet that was very helpful and beneficial to you. (2) Write an experience you have had on the Internet that was very unfortunate, disastrous to you and how it impacted you.
I can just pop open one student's Twitter, show how they have "quoted" some posts and use that information to help students see how they aren't "invisible" online and use that conversation along with some SnapChat horror stories to discuss how permanent content really is.
Great lesson! So relevant , the activities will lead to great class discussions.
Lots of relevant material here that will lead to spirited discussion and journalling. Especailly in regard to social media and the impact on communication and relationships. Discussion can include pros and cons. Also privacy issues with employers will be another great topic to discuss.
Students should be able to really make a connection with this lesson. However do they really understand the impact. I would also wonder if there usage of this type of communication negatively or positively influenced their human contact.
this is a very important topic to talk about. There are so many things to discuss here, the impacts of social media on relationships, daily lives and even safety. I will definitely be integrating my safety and social media "talk" here.
Students are truly no aware that all the things they do on social media today will affect their tomorrow. I will begin trying to find articles or blogs on people who have experiences losing a job or not getting a job or not getting admitted into a college because of their social media. I know that it has happened I just would like to find it in print now.
I think the topic of SnapChat makes it approachable since that is what my students are in to right now. I think this is a lesson where student prior knowledge can be tapped through discussion.
The use of social networks should be an easily approachable topic for many of my students, due to the popularity of Instagram, Snapchat, Vine and similar services. Centering the learning objective upon the network's potential openness concerning private data is the difficult vein to explore, since it is a more sensitive set of ideas that are nuanced and occasionally subtle. Around our campus there are posters warning about the dangers of rumors spread online, or the scenario when formerly private material become public on campus. These warnings are so commonplace that I fear students may become numb to their risks until it happens to one of them.
Nonetheless, I intend to use examples of articles about celebrities being violated as part of the introductory basis to have discussions and reflection about the implications of social network privacy, and possibly carry over to topics such as law enforcement surveillance programs that expose supposedly private attributes to strangers as well.
Students are very familiar with social media so that will help get them engaged. I think the snapchat case study will really help them understand that what they put out on the web is there permanently.
There are some great and very relevant ideas here - creating a profile on social media for students to evaluate as though they were an employer will flip the tables and give them insight on the other side of the story. A discussion of laws and previous incidents surrounding sexting (particularly with SnapChat) and the impact that releasing or distributing photos can have on their lives will be essential topic to discuss.
I would have them think about what type of job they would be interested in and then have them contact someone in that field. Ask them to give them feedback, pros and cons of what would stop them from getting a job in that field that a potential employer might look for on the web. Or help them find someone and you be the middle man of relaying information. I have had kids that have been interested in law enforcement, and I have forwarded the request from my email to the adults. It also insures that I look over what is being sent ahead of time as well
I think it's always important to start with kids journaling about the topic, get their minds prep for topic. I would have them list all the social media they use and any other communication tools they use. While they are writing in their journals I would go around and give them all the communication methods chart to fill in. Give them couple min to mark on chart before they share with table and discuss what was same or different. Then have a spokesperson share with the class. I would then go into asking them about how any of these communication tools may ever backfired to them or someone they know. Depending where this leads and time, I would go into the snapchat law/ story. The next day I think I could start off with the video of the mom getting fired, or another video if I find another. Talk about it for couple minutes then have then get in groups and hand out a scenario to each and give then time to put together a quick presentation discussing their scenario. If time open it up to rest of class to talk about. I would like them to finish up journaling/thinking about future careers they may choose and what silly or purposeful things they could be linked to and what that may mean to a potential employer?
In the 1st half of the lesson I want to bring forward the idea depersonalization of intercourse by the removal of communication channels as you move from in person conversation through phone conversation to texting or emailing. At each step some channel of communication is lost; i.e., the visual and tactile channels are lost when the intercourse moves from in person to phone, auditory channels are removed as the intercourse moves from phone to text or email. This depersonalization can be used to decide the appropriateness of means for the various communication contexts in the exercise.
I'm going to fish for the imagery that information placed on social media is like unattended book bags left in the hall…
Social media is a huge part of our students' lives. I plan on having my students search the internet for legal cases that have surfaced due to social media. Each group will then share their findings.

I got my inspiration for this cake when flicking through a recipe book. I came across the recipe for a mango, banana and coconut cake, and immediately I thought "JUNGLE FRUITS = Jungle Book!" It's amazing actually, I think I'm constantly subconsciously looking for cake ideas, just any old thing can trigger it and make me think of a Disney movie.
I have to admit I was a bit dubious about this weeks cake - somehow the thought of mixing mango, banana and coconut just didn't seem to sit right in my mind. My Mr. agreed, he thought that instead I should make a chocolate cake, as chocolate is brown it could represent the bark of the trees in the jungle. *rolls eyes* If the Mr had a say in it, we'd have chocolate cake every week. However, the purpose of this challenge was to experiment, so experiment I did.
Unfortunately my local grocers was fresh out of paw-paws and prickly pears...
I found the recipe in the old trusty BBC Good Food 101 Cakes and Bakes. (Page 54 - Mango, Banana and Coconut Cake). I've never baked a cake with fresh fruit before, but I know that adding fresh fruit to cake mixture can do strange things so I decided to follow the recipe to the letter.
I'd like to make a note here that at various stages this cake mixture looks all kinds of wrong and nasty. Do not despair! Once you've added the flour it will return to something resembling a normal cake mixture, and once baked it tastes delicious and is really very moist!
Prep time: 20 mins Cook time: 30-35mins Serves: 10
1 medium sized ripe mango
2 medium sized ripe bananas
1tsp vanilla extract
225g margarine
140g light brown sugar
2 eggs
50g desiccated coconut
225g self raising flour
1/2tsp bicarbonate of soda
1tsp mixed spice
For the filling:
200g packet soft cheese
2tsp lemon juice
50g icing sugar, plus extra for dusting
- Preheat the oven to gas mark 3 and grease and line two 8 inch baking tins
- Peel, stone and chop the mango, and then puree the flesh. Put the mango to one side for now. Peel the bananas and break these up into a small bowl. Mash the bananas to a pulp using a fork, ensuring that there are no large lumps remaining. Mix half of the mango puree into the mashed banana, and put the other half of the mango puree in the fridge for later. Add the vanilla extract to the banana and mango mixture and mix well. Put this fruit mixture to one side.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat the eggs, and then add these to the butter and sugar mixture a little at a time. (Note: this is when the cake mixture starts to resemble something not very nice - do not worry, just keep at it and it will taste delicious!)
- Stir in the banana and mango mixture, and then add the desiccated coconut.
- Sift in the flour, bicarbonate of soda and mixed spice, and fold into the mixture until thoroughly combined. (Note: by now the cake mixture should look fairly normal, if a bit stiff!)
- Divide the mixture between the two baking tins and smooth the tops. Bake for 30-35 minutes until firm to touch, or until a skewer inserted into the centre of the cake comes out clean. Once the cakes have baked, leave to cool in the tins for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.
- Once the cakes have cooled, prepare the filling. Beat together the soft cheese, lemon juice,and icing sugar until smooth and glossy. Stir in the reserved mango puree. Spread the filling evenly onto one of the cakes, and then place the other cake on top of that. Dust the cake with icing sugar to decorate, and serve!
Next time round it's the Aristocats, and I'll be making some very yummy millionaire's shortbread.

Hold on to your ears, Mouseketeers. In this, the 60th anniversary of Mickey Mouse's show business career, the man who was Disneyland's main mouse for a quarter century has broken his silence.
Meet the man in the mouse, Paul Castle, who shares with us the inside story on:
Why Disneyland wouldn't let Mickey talk, even to children.
How hot it got inside that mouse head.
Whether Annette was really as nice as could be.
Moreover, Castle exposes a shocking truth. Many of the Mickey Mouses these days are girls .
His fans probably never would have guessed that Mickey Mouse was a bald 4-foot, 6-inch, one-time amateur speed skater from Cleveland, now living in retirement in an Anaheim mobile home park, happily married to Pinocchio.
Indeed, the Magic Kingdom's official corporate position is that the character with the pointy nose and big ears actually is Mickey Mouse.

I have been art directing photoshoots for a while now and have learnt masses about natural lighting. So I jumped at the chance to be the photographer and work with Michele Harty Creative Director of Perfekcija - of 'The perfect white shirt company' this week.
The company required a new photographic branding direction. I cast elegant Finnish model Annastina as the face for this high end classic white shirt brand. The Perfekcija market is broad and appeals to Ladies that lunch, the home counties set as well as the yummy mummy market. We wanted to get across the versatility of the perfect white shirt, dress it up for the evening or down for casual wear. So armed with my wide angle lensed Nikon I worked with ebbing and flowing natural sun light and placed the model Annastina in the shade so that we would not have problems with the bright sunlight bleaching out the white shirts loosing that all important detail.

In October 2000, a gangling 18-year-old Jermain Defoe made his Bournemouth debut and scored against Stoke City in Division Two – the third tier of English football. Little did he and the club know that 17 years later, via the occasional glamour and frequent slumps of playing for the likes of Tottenham Hotspur, Portsmouth and Sunderland, which came after a stint across the Atlantic in Toronto, he would be back in the magnificent red and black of the Cherries for, possibly, the final phase of his career in the Premier League.
Bournemouth have never been a club to challenge the upper elite of English football having played in the Championship for just two seasons before the 21st century. They looked dead and buried just before the turn of the decade, but are now a stable club, making waves in the Premier League and constantly making excellent progress on and off the pitch. In 2000, Defoe set a post-war record of scoring in his first 10 games, but that was in the third tier, with Bournemouth faithful having little to no expectation of making it this far in a relatively short space of time, but now that they are here, after the ups and downs, Division Two is long forgotten as the club stand firm at the top of the ladder, with the aim of bringing European football to the south coast – a prospect that looks like a distinct possibility looking at the way they are going.
Their road to the Premier League was difficult. The club were predominantly a League 1 side and spent just four years in the Championship before their first promotion to the big time, and had it not been for a few extremely influential figures, the club would not have existed today. On several occasions, they were just minutes away from going defunct, but managed to save themselves right at the death. The Premier League is the deserved reward for the effort and perseverance of several figures and the club is only going upwards.
AFC Bournemouth's revival and ascent to subsequent success started in February 2008, when they entered administration, holding debts of around £4 million and were docked 10 points by the Football League, as the League 1 strugglers battled relegation. They faced a similar situation 12 years prior, only to be saved by a supporters' trust fund, which in the process, created one of Europe's first community clubs. In 2008, it was one Jeff Mostyn who came to the rescue of Bournemouth, and despite the upcoming relegation fight, Mostyn gave the club new ambition for the following years.
Jeff Mostyn, a Manchester-born financial services businessman had been involved with Bournemouth for a long time. He previously held the golden share in the football club when they previously entered administration in 1996 and had been following the club's progress ever since. A Manchester City fan by default, he cleared most of the debt owed by the club when he arrived to save the club at the eleventh hour and he has had a great influence on the club's off-pitch activities ever since.
The period was drawn out as Mostyn attempted to bring together a consortium to invest in the club's future. Everyone that he brought together fell apart, as investors seemed uncertain for the long-run. Eventually, a dubious marketing company, Sport-6, with Mostyn stepping down from his role as the company came to the club's rescue, but within months their CEO, Alastair Saverimutto, admitted that he broke several Football League laws with a barrage of lies to get past regulations. Bournemouth's points deductions would continue and then the inevitable would happen as they were relegated to the fourth division, League Two, and were handed a 17-point deduction which made relegation out of league football into the National Conference a near certainty.
With a transfer embargo in place and a huge mountain to climb, the club weren't too appealing to potential investors, who they were seeking to help adjust the club's fortunes for the better. At the start of the season it was former player Kevin Bond who was tasked with guiding the club out of the mess, but failed to do so and was replaced by Jimmy Quinn, a man synonymous with lower-league football, having represented 20 clubs in his playing career. Just like Bond, he wasn't up for the challenge, and handed his resignation to the board, opening the door for another former player – 31-year-old Eddie Howe, who became the youngest manager in the Football League at the tail end of 2008.
His appointment was a game-changer and he slowly began the process of salvaging a sinking ship. Given very little to work on, his pragmatic style bought the best out of his players, and with just under five months of the season left to play at the time of his arrival, they were 10 points behind safety. Since he took over, they lost just two home games, earned hard-fought wins over sides like title-chasing Wycombe Wanderers and promotion-favourites Bradford City, and eventually confirmed their Football League status with a 2-1 home win over Grimsby Town in their penultimate game of the season, with club legend Steve Fletcher, who had been with the club through thick and thin, scoring the winner 10 minutes from time.
After executing what was dubbed as "The Great Escape", the club were now seeing a bright future. Had it not been for the points deduction, they would ideally have been challenging for promotion and Eddie Howe, still a fresh-faced figure in management, deserves a lot of credit for their unlikely resurrection. In the summer of 2009, a stable consortium finally took over the club and allowed them to plan their ascent. It included Jeff Mostyn, former vice-chairman Steve Sly, Neill Blake and Eddie Mitchell – the former chairman of Dorchester Town, who quickly drifted himself away from them to avoid issues with the FA over dual ownership.
The following season, while still under a transfer embargo, Howe and his Bournemouth troops challenged the better half of League Two, and were favourites to go up, which was a welcome situation away from their troubles. The key here was Eddie Howe, who focused on the matters of his team, while putting the troubles of the club in the back seat, which gave him and his players more time and freedom to think about the task ahead of them on the playing field. His man-management was also a crucial factor as he lifted the mood of the players, which in turn improved performances on the pitch, which in the long-run made tiny, little Bournemouth a happy place.
His style and skill helped Bournemouth rise from their slump and finish second in the league behind Notts County, as they earned promotion back to League One. A mammoth task of helping the club survive with a 17-point disadvantage to a promotion while still not having permission to sign players for much of the season, Howe deserves a lot of praise for his style. And with this ascent from oblivion to well-established, Howe's stock rose and he was targeted by the higher order in the Football League. After a few months in League One, they were playing well and were targeting a shot at promotion to the Championship, with the players, manager and management bringing up the same style that made them so successful over the last 18-odd months.
In January 2011, however, just day after squashing speculation that Eddie Howe was being chased by clubs in the Championship, the manager made a move to Burnley, with the Clarets paying a fee to terminate Howe's Bournemouth contract. It was a blow to the Cherries who had made so much progress, but the new man at the helm, Lee Bradbury, didn't see it that way as he guided them to a play-off spot, only to lose to Huddersfield Town on penalties be forced to spend another year trying to go up. Nevertheless, despite the immense loss of Howe in the middle of the season, there was optimism for the following campaign.
Things turned out much worse in the next campaign, which is typical of sides that lose in the promotion play-offs – take Leyton Orient for example who were relegated to League Two in the 2014-15 season after losing the previous season's play-off final to Rotherham United. They lost much of the squad from the previous campaign and had a really slow start, flirting with teams in the relegation zone for the early parts of the season, which gave Bradbury a massive task on his hands. But off the pitch, there was huge progress being made as chairman Eddie Mitchell persuaded Russian businessman Maxim Demin to buy a 50% stake in the club, with Mitchell himself keeping the other half, and allow more stability to Bournemouth's books.
Demin was no stranger to the United Kingdom, owning several houses in the UK – one of them being more expensive than the amount he invested to buy stakes in the club – but is still a quiet figure having never made an appearance in front of the British press. He owns at least two companies in the United Kingdom and is a major player in the petrochemical industry, with his businesses holding assets worth over £100 million. Mitchell and he got to know each other through their businesses, which is not much of a surprise, as Mitchell was the man who was building one of Demin's houses in Sandbanks – a small peninsula in Poole.
Bournemouth made a few signings in their first window under Demin, including one Simon Francis. They rose from their slow start and ended up finishing 11th in the league, which was a far cry from their heroics from the previous season. It is believed that in one of the first games of the Demin era against MK Dons, Maxim's wife, Irena, came down to the dressing room for the side's half-time team talk and riled up the side to help them turn around a 1-0 deficit. She probably had an influence – they drew 2-2.
At the end of the 2011-12 campaign, Lee Bradbury was given the boot and wasn't in the dugout for the final games of the season after failing to replicate the successes of the previous campaign. He was replaced by Paul Groves, Eddie Mitchell's first-team manager while at Dorchester Town. A man with little managerial experience, he lasted just 20 games before receiving the sack as well, and out of nowhere, Bournemouth took everyone by surprise and persuaded former boss Eddie Howe, who was still contracted to Burnley, to jump down a division and oversee another period of transition as they looked to make it to the second division. The gamble and money invested paid off, as Eddie Howe moulded a squad with the perfect blend of experience and the right mentality to guide them away from their relegation troubles and promote the Cherries into the Championship, once again as runners-up, this time finishing just a point behind Doncaster Rovers.
In September 2013 with the club moving in the right direction, Eddie Mitchell sold his 50% stake to Maxim Demin, making the Russian the outright owner of the club. His son, Josh, also stepped down from his role, allowing Jeff Mostyn to return as Chairman, giving his full control of the club's financial activity that related to on-pitch issues. The man largely responsible for the club's survival and existence, Mostyn inherited Demin's funds to invest in the club, which was the antithesis when he had to pull the club away from liquidation and into administration just five years prior.
Life back in the Championship ended strongly as they finished in tenth place, proving to be too strong for relegation trouble as many predicted, while still lacking the necessary personnel to fight for promotion. They also earned themselves a tie against Liverpool in the Fourth Round of the FA Cup, which was sure to pleasing for the fans of the club and Maxim Demin's pockets. Tenth was their highest ever finish in league football, and it was optimism that they could go to the next level in the following season and challenge to earn a spot in the promised land – the Premier League.
The second successive campaign was taken by storm. Early in the season, they thrashed Birmingham City 8-0 away at the St. Andrews Stadium – their biggest ever win, while the core of their squad, Simon Francis, Steve Cook, Harry Arter, Charlie Daniels and Callum Wilson were on top form. Eddie Howe won three out of nine possible Manager of the Month honours, proving to be of the best English managers around as his Bournemouth side charged towards the Premier League. They finished the season as Champions, one point clear of second-placed Watford, winning the title on the final day of the season with a 3-0 away win against Charlton.
Three promotions in six seasons was a massive achievement. Having been so close to extinction just seven years prior, the club were set to grab the riches of the Premier League and build a legacy. Clubs that don red and black are well regarded in football history, and little Bournemouth were on that very path. Led by Eddie Howe, Maxim Demin and Jeff Mostyn, the club were now in a secure position and took on the Premier League challenge diligently and with caution.
When Bournemouth were promoted to the Premier League, their objectives, although never discussed and made clear publicly, were threefold:
- The first aim, was to attain survival and manage themselves sustainably to remain as a Premier League club for the foreseeable future and have a credible impact in the top flight. This would ideally improve the club's finances and avoid situations like the ones they faced in the past.
- The second aim, would have been to build a ground that would match their ambition and growing popularity. Their current home, Dean Court, or the Vitality Stadium as it's known for sponsorship reasons, is the smallest in the Premier League, fitting just under 12000 supporters – and allocate just around 1100 seats for travelling fans.
- The third aim, was to build a state-of-the-art training facility, not just to help their current talent progress in the top tier of English football, but to develop fine players that would contribute to their success and promote from within the club.
Slowly, yet effectively, they are achieving all their objectives and are sustainably becoming a household name in the Premier League. In their first season, 2015/16, they finished 16th, five points clear of the relegation zone having beaten some of the historical giants of the top flight including defending champions Chelsea, Manchester United and Newcastle United. The key here was that they didn't change their style of football, maintaining their quality and consistency from the lower divisions and coming in as a breath of fresh air. Usually, clubs adopt a defensive approach in their first few years in the Premier League, but not Bournemouth, who were keeping their identity and being successful with it.
Their second season bore more fruit. The ninth placed finish was their highest ever ranking since and it brought the club more international acclaim. Eddie Howe was now being regarded as one of the brightest figures British football had to offer with his Bournemouth side having a strong finish to their Premier League campaign, losing just two of their last 11 games of the season. A higher finish obviously holds them in greater regard and that attracted several Premier League-proven players to join the exciting project on the south coast as the club were now making their name in the top flight.
The second aim, their stadium plans, are on an upward trajectory as well. The Bournemouth board made the perfect decision to invest in their teams rather than their facilities when they were promoted – a choice that so many clubs opt against – and it has worked immaculately. The team is doing well, and their new stadium plans are now making progress. In December 2016, they went public with their desire to leave their current home, and identified three potential destinations for their new venue, in the hope of moving just in time for the 2020-21 campaign. A 20000+ seater venue is hoped for, with Jeff Mostyn claiming he needed to "satisfy the needs of supporters who have been supporting the club for 40, 50, 60 years" – something he would aptly understand.
And in August 2017, the club submitted a planning application for a 57-acre training facility to accommodate and train the first team, development squad, academy and pre-academy teams. A Premier League-worthy facility, it would hold ten full-sized training pitches, medical, fitness and sport science facilities, a press conference room amongst several other amenities. Work on the area will begin as soon as planning procedures were approved and it is sure to take the club's status to the next level.
They are already building a fine side in the Premier League to play alongside the aforementioned Jermain Defoe. Nathan Aké, Benik Afobe and Joshua King, three players who weren't afforded enough chances to progress at their previous clubs, Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United respectively, have been important figures to their success in recent years, while the old guard of Charlie Daniels, Harry Arter and Simon Francis are solid players that have been the backbone of the team for years. They also have Lewis Cook and Ryan Fraser amongst their ranks, two players who were signed as youngsters and are currently, albeit slowly, making the grade at the highest level while donning the red and black – the former was the captain of England's efficacious U20 side that won the World Cup in South Korea.
Eddie Howe's current management team consists of former Bournemouth players who either played with or under Howe in his time while he was contracted to Bournemouth. Jason Tindall is his assistant, having played for the club between 1998 and 2006 and once again between 2009 and 2011. He first picked up the assistant role in 2008 under Jimmy Quinn and kept it until Eddie Howe's arrival, with the duo becoming the youngest manager-assistant combination in the Football League. He even departed with Howe to Burnley and returned with him as well when they came back to the south coast in 2012.
Steve Fletcher, the hero behind The Great Escape of 2009,currently acts as their Assistant First-Team Coach. No one knows the club better than him, having had three separate stints at the club making over 720 appearances and scoring 122 times. There is no doubt about his legendary status and he's held an off-pitch role at the club since 2013, when he was a scout for them. He is the deputy to Stephen Purches, who has been the First-Team Coach ever since his retirement in 2014. He too had multiple stints with the club, having played in the centre of defence in two different stints, first between 2000 and 2007 and the second between 2010 and 2014. Along with them stands Neil Moss, the goalkeeping coach who also ended his playing career with the Cherries and has overseen the club's progress from the third tier to the Premier League.
Simon Francis, who is now the club's captain, has spoken kindly of his manager in a recent interview with the Independent, claiming that a lot of people at the club are indebted to him for their success: "I've never come across anyone who is so intent on improving players individually, with both his man-management and his coaching. He comes in early and he leaves late, and if you go to him and say you want to work on something he'll stay there until you feel you have improved. And he'll do that with everyone"
This is the ideal way a mid-table, initially low-budget Premier League club should be progressing. They have ambitious owners who are keeping their feet on the ground while maintaining the status and finances of the club in the most sustainable manner, a chairman who knows what the club needs on and off the pitch, a manager who is refreshingly changing the style of football that is synonymous with mid-table and bottom half clubs and a squad that is brimming with potential. European football may not be too far away, but it is important that they handle themselves in the same way and not fall of their tracks. For now, they have become an example for other clubs after just two full seasons in the top flight, and have an exciting project incoming.

USB to RS232 TTL Serial Interface Cable (HCCABL0015)
Posted: Fri Apr 10, 2015 11:06 am
USB to RS232 TTL PL2303HX auto converter module adapter with a 5V output, which provides the most convenient way to connect your RS232 TTL devices to your computer via the USB port. The cable has a built-in TTL COM PC-PL2303HX Chip and uses a standard USB type A male and TTL 4 pin connector. The cable length is approximately 100cm in length.
Black - GND
Green - TXD
White - RXD
Red - VCC (5V)
The interface cable uses the standard prolific drivers.
Windows Drivers: (http://www.prolific.com.tw/US/ShowProdu ... 25&pcid=41)
Please note the latest version of the Prolific drivers breaks comparability with versions of windows from 8 and above. If you are using one of these version and you are having trouble with the latest version of the driver please download the version below:
To install the driver unzip the folder and right click the ser2pl.inf file and select 'install' from the context menu.
Next open up device manager and plug in the USB cable. Once installed you should see the cable appear as 'Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port (COMx)'.
In some cases Windows may automatically install the latest driver instead. If you see a yellow caution symbol beside the entry do the following steps to force windows to install the correct driver:
Right-click the entry in device manager and in the window that opens up select 'Update driver software'.
Click the second option (Browse my computer for software).
In the new windows that opens up select 'Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer'
Another window will open. In this windows select the driver version 18.104.22.168 dates 24/09/2008 and then click next.
This should now force the correct driver to install.

1) Have a section up the top that has "Mandatory information" with the mandatory items clearly identified.
When they understand they can file a protest in a few seconds on their mobile phone from wherever they are, the protest time limit pretty much becomes irrelevant.
Maybe even "Minimum Mandatory Information"?
"Exactly" on both Paul's post.. many competitors don't realize how little info has to be filed .. and what information can be amended at a later date. Making that clear (min info) and electronic would remove a mental hurdle for many IMO.
Paul P., maybe you could mock-up a form and post here and we can try it on for size?

Phone numbers within the US consist of a three-digit area code followed by a seven-digit local number. In NYC, you will always dial ten numbers: 1 + the three-digit area code + the seven-digit number. To make an international call from NYC, call 011 + country code + area code + number. When calling Canada, there is no need to use the 011.
Area Codes
No matter where you're calling within New York City, even if it's just across the street in the same area code, you must always dial 1 + the area code first.
Manhattan 212, 646, 332
Outer boroughs 347, 718, 929
All boroughs (usually cell phones) 917
Mobile Phones
International travelers can use local SIM cards in a smartphone provided it is unlocked. Alternatively, you can buy a cheap US phone and load it up with prepaid minutes.
More Information
If buying a US SIM card, you'll want to go with either AT&T or T-Mobile (or companies using their networks) as these carriers run on the GSM network, the standard used in most other countries. You may be able to preorder a card at home, or you can simply purchase one from the relevant carrier's store in New York.
If purchasing a cheap US phone, you can also look into Verizon and Sprint, which use the CDMA network. Phones can be bought in telecom stores, drugstores, grocery stores and big retailers like Target.
If you plan on traveling outside of NYC, make sure you are using AT&T or Verizon – these two carriers have the best coverage in more rural areas.
Data coverage in NYC is LTE.

Although cigarettes are still used by 15% of Americans and contribute significantly to premature morbidity and mortality in the United States, new non-cigarette tobacco products are becoming increasingly popular among youth and racial and ethnic minority populations. These products include cigars and cigarillos, hookah, smokeless tobacco, and electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS). Each non-cigarette tobacco product has different risks, patterns of use, and potential to create health disparities, making solutions for prevention and harm reduction as varied as the types of non-cigarette tobacco products. To prevent the use of non-cigarette tobacco products, public health professionals need to be able to define the current market of non-cigarette tobacco products, understand how these products are regulated by different levels of government, and use health promotion and disease prevention strategies at the community-level.
After watching this webinar, you will be able to:
- Define and describe the non-cigarette tobacco products currently on the market.
- Identify patterns of non-cigarette tobacco product use among youth and adults in the U.S.
- Discuss potential community-level strategies to combat product use.
Reflection Questions
- What non-cigarette tobacco products are currently on the market?
- How do youth and adults use non-cigarette tobacco products? What disparities exist?
- What are potential community-level strategies that can combat product use?

Plumbing system in your house is extremely important but what is saddening here is that, simply because it is not seen often, not many homeowners realize its importance until problems take place. This is very inconvenient for anyone living in the house. Say for example that your plumbing failed, then it could be the worst for you as sometimes, doing fix to such can be time consuming and expensive. Always remember that it is inevitable to deal with such problems regardless if it seems that you're doing all you could to ensure that everything is in their right order.
Following are some ways that can help you locate an emergency plumber if ever such issue arises.
Tip number 1. Prepare with directory or list - you've got to be well prepared of whatever issue that may arise especially when you live in your own home. Actually, it is beneficial that you plan in advance by creating list of services that might be required for all types of maintenance or repairs. Meaning, you should be making a list of service providers for heating ventilation, electrical services, appliances and above all, plumbing services at http://jordanplumbingnc.com/emergency-plumbing/ to not panic and at the same time, to know who you must contact if ever problems do occur.
You can even organize the list you have by name, service or other aspects like locality and pricing to make your search easier.
Tip number 2. Use local resources - in any city, they have local magazine or newspaper that is published every day or week. If you like to know Chapel Hill maintenance services that are within your reach, then checking out the weekly paper is going to be a good source. Apart the fact that you help in supporting local companies, this allows you as well to get feedback easily from friends and neighbors or even read reviews over the web from those who get such service and in the same area as yours.
One great thing about hiring local company is that, you can make sure that the job will be done while meeting your expectations and that you can get to know about their reputation. In addition to that, it is never a stress to contact them for doing other jobs since they're just few minutes away.
Tip number 3. Take advantage of technology - virtually any service that you need, you can find it online; all thanks to the technological boon we are experiencing today. In fact, many sites popped up in the past few years for the purpose of connecting businesses and customers with the exact kind of service they need and yes, this includes emergency plumbing. Fact is, there are applications that can be downloaded on your smart phone that can be use for searching the same.

For anyone who does not know what WOYWW is (What is On Your Workdesk Wednesday), take a look at Julia's Stamping Ground.
Some crafting has occurred in my craft room, but not a lot. After my husband's first grandchild was born early on Sunday (Lily, 8 lb), I had to rush to make a card when we returned from Cardiff on Sunday evening. Yes, should have been organised and had one ready, but one of the new Bebunni CD-Roms saved the day and I made a super-cute card in record time.
This is my main desk this morning - all of the usual essentials (I keep saying I am going to clear my desk, but then I realise I love having all of this stuff in front of me!) and some printed/cut out extras for creating a few cards.
This week will see me getting Valentine cards finished, attempting some parchment craft for the first time and getting on with my journals.
Hope everyone is well and happy.

Oh my gosh! That is the cutest little card ever! I rarely make cards in advance of any event like babies, weddings, etc. So I can relate to the last minute dash. Happy WOYWW! Judy #96ReplyDelete
Well good for you - snatching some time away and being fit enough to tackle the shops! Cowbridge is nice isn't it - when I was a rep for a craft company I used to visit a customer there. Sadly closed, ages ago. Aha - I like a tidy desk but I also like to be surrounded by stuff...so I get what you're saying - and I love your screensaver - makes me feel like I'm tripping!!ReplyDelete
Cute card! I really need to get on and make a card for my new niece/nephew who will be arriving in the near future. Just waiting for inspiration to strike...ReplyDelete
I want to see The Wolf of Wall Street - hope it was good!

A workspace, by its very nature, is inclined to have work on it! Imagine that? :D And that card … so, so cute!ReplyDelete
glad to hear you had a holiday relatively pain free and got to do a few things you wanted to do. Do you think the paleo diet and vitamins are working? Love your workspace and that card is awesome. have a great week. Vickie aka Okienurse #111 thanks for visiting!ReplyDelete
Glad you managed to get a few days away and you coped! Hopefully we are going for an overnighter on Monday but only doing what I can do!ReplyDelete
That card is beautiful, such a lovely pastel card.
Hugs & Thanks for visiting me earlier, sorry I am so late - Neet 50
What a lovely card and congratulations on the new arrival!! I'm just the same as you, I like having my "stuff" all around me on my desk, my husband calls it clutter but I call it inspiration!!ReplyDelete
What a charming card you created in what you think was no time at all. For me, it would take about a day (grin). You have a fun work space. Not too cluttered, even coming from this neat freak. Happy belated WOYWW from # 1 and thanks for the earlier visit.ReplyDelete
What a gorgeous card, just the ticket. Thanks for the visit this week, sorry it has taken so long to reply, seem to have a pile of stuff to do but did finish the little felt house which was gratefully received today - phew BJ#72ReplyDelete

Wednesday, June 20, 2007

Tomorrow's Post Today
Posted by Chic Aeon in design, iheartslFeed, new releases, places on Saturday, March 16, 2013
Busy day for me. LEA7 was handed over and I had my first experience with the terrain file "editor". It was an adventure and after a lot of hit and miss trying (the wiki simply says "experiment and you'll get it" or something to that effect) I did manage to get a good looking terrain. Now the sand is not on the shore but inland at a higher altitude. How can that be? I know not. But the helper on LEA20 couldn't get sand on the shore either so perhaps it is just the way it is.
ANYWAY. A new addition to MOSP (opening officially next weekend with rezzing abilities) is the Trompe Loeil Tree House for COLLABOR88. I have had it in my inventory for awhile of course but no where picturesque to rez. I saved it a spot on sea level and it is definitely the first building that you see. Now the house has had plenty of press, but I want you to know that my FAVORITE release of this set is the light fixture. It is simply outstanding. And admittedly my arty photo doesn't show all the details well. So, get over to COLLABOR88 and see it in person. Or drop by LEA7 of course *wink*.
Here is an outside view of the house in all its glory -- just in case you have been traveling in Morocco and missed all the posts.
There is also a hanging bed that works very well in the first level porch.
And here's another photo of some of the hunt items from The Nest Easter Egg Hunt. The stepstool, bowls, tall plant and rug (in store gift) are from Zinnias. There are some pots with plants that I couldn't find, but maybe you will be luckier -- or a better hunter. The BIG planter and plant are from Barnesworth Anubis and the smaller patterned rug is from Zigana. The Z guys are definitely on my radar now *wink*.
And here's a not so arty but easier to view photo of the lighting -- simply because I love it and want you to love it too.

The PAINTING Workshop—Themes & Dates—FEE: $80 (2-Day)
These 2-day Workshops offer artistic expression, where KIDS experience and develop awareness of ART Elements—Line, Shape, Form, Color, Texture, Space and Value.
The PAINTING WORKSHOP is intended to inspire KIDS to grab their toolboxes and get busy making ART. As the KIDS create ART, they tend to paint as a process, and allow their expressions to show in a natural way. Materials are included.
Artist Instructor: Carol N. Ligon
MARCH 30th & 31st—Spring Break—12:30 p.m.—2:00 p.m.
—POP ART—KIDS work with whimsical techniques to create their own style of whimsical faces, colors, and form. They will examine their own faces and discover new shapes. They will learn how to showcase their painting with color mixing, underpainting, and layering.
Paint HAPPY—it's FUN!
