So here is my list for 2014
Unread Records will keep churning out vibrant unheard of artists and not even twitch. For me, i do care for what it is worth and wanted to send some love to the band and the label.
Music For The Midwest is a low-fi listen into fascination and wonder. The sound circles all of the way back revolving around the spectrum. This includes retro sing a longs, ageless rock, playfulness, heartfelt solos, quiet get togethers, darkness, feedback and noise. Describing the diversity of the double cassette would involve examining each track. Even if i tried, i still would be inept at properly doing this. So my description consist of only what i can compare this to. Reminding me of Dukes of Stratosphere bumping into the Monkeys and being run down by Velvet Underground. The whole lot of them are thrown into a specially designed concrete mixer created by Sebedoh and Tonstartssbandht and poured out over an hour to harden in the space between your ears. The multifariousness of all twenty four tracks does not stray as far to cause mayhem. Songs like "Under the Mango Tree" parts one, two and three is a good example of cohesion throughout the double tape. Another is "Hollywood Lights" on side A and "If It Makes You Feel Alright" on side D. Both garage pop surprises. My favorites have changed with each listen, so naming them is kind of pointless.
Unread Records & Tapes catalogs this one at #159. This label is truly pioneering how to showcase artists existing in a dimension without radar. All of the while, moving forward with creativity, playfully jumping back and forth over the track out ahead of the ensuing masses.
If you like good music..... you should definitely give this a listen.

One of your greatest assets is your willpower, your decision-making, your discipline.
This is what we're told. It's also what we see. Most of us wouldn't be where we are without hard work or ability to change our circumstances.
And so we come to expect that the world will always respond in kind. That it will do what we want. That things will more or less go our way.
It's this, I think, that makes a relatively simple and straightforward piece of advice so hard to accept. Especially...

I'm so full of sh*#. Or at least I am today. The problem with blogging is once you post something, it's out there. You've revealed yourself if you're honest, stripped away the mask, and switching tunes then becomes embarassing. Or real. Or real stupid.
Anyway, yesterday, the whole layoff thing hit me. Especially after a very good friend of mine – the one who helped me get the job in the first place – called. I almost cried on the phone. He said he felt responsible and I vehemently told him in no way did I blame him for any of this, or even remotely think he was to blame. I do know things work out for a reason, but I'm still just raw emotionally.
Then today, while waiting at the chiropractor's office, I got a message from the partner who laid me off. To be honest, they have converted me to hourly and I only get paid for billable hours – hours that they can pass on to a client. But on Friday they said there wasn't anything for me to do right now but I knew better. I asked about the two things I had in progress on my computer. They said, "We'll take care of it." Well, one of those things is now in process of being extended to a Phase 2 project and I just submitted a bid to work on it. The other thing is just some rewriting and editing of a service brochure.
The point is – I feel yanked around. On one hand, they say they don't need me right now; on the other hand, they need me right away. I don't know which way is up. All I want to do is crawl under the covers and cry. And that is soooo not me.
I learned yesterday more of what was going on at the company, and it's very clear that the owners are just running the business in a not-so-smart fashion and it's impacting so many more people than just me. And maybe I'm dodging a bullet. Who knows. But even though my head knows this, my heart isn't catching up so fast and all I can say to myself is "Merry Effin Christmas". It's really not in my nature to have a negative attitude about things for long. I usually, as expressed earlier, switch to positive motion quickly and move ahead with new goals.
And my fibro is flaring up. Great. Sigh. Three guesses why and the first two don't count.
At least tomorrow's a new day and I can start over then.

APHC condemns NIA raids on Shahid-ul-Islam's house
SRINAGAR: APHC (M) has strongly condemned the "arbitrary and coercive act" of raiding the house of its media adviser, Shahid-ul-Islam, pro-freedom activists and members of business community by NIA. The conglomerate called it "a bid to harass and scare the resistance leadership from representing the people's sentiments and their just political struggle".
At around 6 a.m., the statement said, that a team from NIA came to Shahid's house with a large contingent of police and paramilitary forces and cordoned his house, sealing all entry and exit points to the road leading to his house. NIA "created fear psychosis in the area as if Shahid was a criminal not a political activist", the statement said.
"His family, including his daughters, were confined to one room while the house was thoroughly searched and all the belongings were rummaged through till late in the evening," the statement said.
"As expected," the statement said, "nothing was found in the house". The NIA officials took with them documents pertaining to the bank loan papers of Shahid's house and car, family's cell phones, insurance policy papers and photographs from the time of APHC visit of Pakistan in 2004, said the statement.
APHC said that people of Kashmir are mature enough to understand that such arm twisting tactics to scare the leadership and malign them by Government of India and their local stooges are actually attempts to take away the focus from the actual problem in Kashmir and distort the narrative of the Kashmir dispute.

Officials comment on Hayden, Dinosaur casino projects
June 12, 2012
A group of Yampa Valley business partners announced in March their interest in developing a venture new to Northwest Colorado.
After more than 50 meetings with a variety of entities the past six months, Steamboat Springs resident Steve Hofman said Monday the time to present to the public information for an Indian gaming facility in Hayden is approaching.
"We have understood from the very beginning that not only would the opportunity for public comment and input be appropriate, but essential," Hofman said. "We fully anticipate having those discussions and having the public ask questions we believe we have answers to, and if they ask questions we don't have answers to, then we're going to be obligated to get them answers.
"That's been our approach through this entire process."
Hofman represents one piece of the business group that also includes Steamboat Springs winter Olympian Johnny Spillane, Hayden resident Dave Marin, Hayden developer Stefanus Nijsten and Nijsten's business partner Bob Zibel.
Zibel is the owner of a 187-acre tract off Routt County Road 51A near Yampa Valley Regional Airport, the proposed site for a casino and hotel.

On Friday, Rob Douglas, a guest columnist for the Steamboat Pilot & Today, cited the nearly three months that have passed since the project was first announced publicly in urging elected officials to press the public vetting process.
Douglas argued the responsibility to educate the public on the proposed casino does not rest solely on the shoulders of the business partnership, but on those of elected representatives throughout the Yampa Valley.
Hofman said Douglas' call for action isn't necessary. He and his partners have been planning for the last month to present documents to the public.
Hofman, however, did not want to say specifically when those documents would be available for public viewing, citing certain preparations that have not yet been finalized.
For example, designers have not yet finished artist renderings of what the casino/hotel could look like.
Additionally, the casino partnership contracted with Scott Ford and Kate Nowak of Yampa Valley Data Partners to compile economic projections specific to each community in the Yampa Valley.
"Assessing the prospects for a business whether it's a corner candy store or a casino involves a thoughtful comprehensive review of the economics of the project, among other factors," Hofman said. "Building a business and moving forward on a project like this requires a lot of effort and thoughtful decision making."
The casino partners also have plans to launch an interactive website to serve as an avenue for the public to provide input and ask questions about the project, in addition to being a source to view informational documents about the casino and partnership.
The website is under construction, Hofman said.
"The website will start that (public comment) process because we'll put into the public domain everything we have," Hofman said. "Then we'll start the process of reaching out to the general public, as opposed to what we have been doing for the last six months, which is how it should be."
Moffat County residents are encouraged to weigh in on the project as soon as the website is active, Hofman said.
"Job impacts, economic impacts will reach far and wide throughout the valley," Hofman said. "We believe everyone affected should be heard on this."
L.D. Smith, Dinosaur town mayor, said little has changed in his community's bid to bring an Indian gaming facility to the far west end of Moffat County.
In October 2011, Dinosaur officials began discussing plans for a casino, hotel and restaurant with the Ute Indian Tribe of the Uintah and Ouray reservation in Fort Duchesne, Utah.
In March, Denver-based Gaming Market Advisors completed a feasibility study for the project and turned it over to Ute Tribe officials.
Smith has not yet seen results of the study.
"We're just waiting to hear back from the tribe. It's still in their hands," Smith said. "I was hoping to break ground this summer, but that may not happen until later."

The Childhood of Russian Chess, Pt. IV
Part I Part II Part III Part V
Related Posting(s): Petroff
Not a lot can be said about Viktor Mikhailovich Mikhailov because not a lot seems to be known. It's quite unfortunate this is so since Mikhailov's place in Russian chess history is very important.
Mikhailov was born in St. Petersburg in 1829. He graduated from the St. Petersburg University in 1850 and went to work with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as an translator. He was considered among the best players in St. Petersburg during the existence of the Society of Chess Amateurs - 1853-1862. Although it's said he competed against the first-rate Italian players, I've never been able substantiate it. In 1862, Mikhailov retired friom his Ministry job and soon moved to Smolensk, about 400 miles south of St. Peteresburg, where he was employed as manager of the Chamber of Control.
Viktor Mikhailov's greatest contribution was the establishment of the first Russian chess bulletin, Shakhmatny Listok, which he published from 1869-1863.
Viktor Mikhailovich Mikhailov died on June 22, 1883.
Sergey Urusov
Dmitri Urusov
In 1852 Carl Jaenisch wrote a letter to the editor of the Chess Player's Chronicle stating:
. . . On this occasion, I take the liberty also of introducing the kind readers of the Chess Chronicle two young Russian amateurs, who have entered recently with eclat into the arena of our noble game. They are two brothers, the Princes Ouroussoff, the eldest of whom is now at Moscow.
The "eldest" was Sergey, born on Aug. 3, 1827 in Moscow. Not much of his life is readily evident. He was born into a princely land-owning family. His father was Simon Nikitich, his mother the former Anna von Markshits. Besides his brother Dmitri, he had two sisters, Julia and Catherine. He married Tatyana Nesterova Afanasyevna who was two years younger than he and they had one child, a daughter in 1853. His daughter died at age 16 while and his wife had died sometime previous. He never remarried.
Sergey was a military officer, a mathematician and a philosopher. He was considered a fine singer and played both the cello and piano. At the siege of Sebastopol during the ill-fated Crimean War, he met, and became a friend with, Leo Tolstoy. Tolstoy later recounted how S. Urusov proposed the outcome of the battle for their trench should be decided by a game of chess (while Tolstoy proposed a duel). Urusov was honored with the St. George Cross 4th class (the lowest of the 4 classes) which was presented for "undaunted courage." After the war Urusov was forced to resign his commission in 1861 and, already a very strong player, took up chess seriously. He abandonned chess completely in the late 1870s, after which he gave his entire chess library to Tolstoy's son, Ilya. The Dictionnaire Raisonné de l'Architecture Française in 1875 notes that:
The Treatise on the opening by Prince Sergeus Ouroussoff, which was expected to be ready for the press this coming season, is likely to be delayed for some months.
It doesn't seem to have ever been completed.
He published Differential Equations in 1863, On the Integral Factor in Differential Equations in 1865, On Solving the Problem of the Knight in 1867 and in 1868 he published Survey of the Campaigns of 1812 and 1813 (Obzor Kampanii 1812 i 1813 gg) as well as Ocherki Vostochnoĭ voĭny : 1854-1855, a booklet on the Crimean War in 1866. He also translated Tolstoy's In What Do I Believe? into French. He also published a chess manual, "Guide to Study the Game of Chess," in installments in the Shajmatny Listok between 1859-1861.
Sergey Urusov, who after half a lifetime severed his friendship with Tolstoy because of the famous author's break with the Orthodox Church, is best characterized by Tolstoy's wife and son. :
Prince S.S. Urusov
from My Life by Tolsoy's wife, Sofia Andreevna Tolstaya
Prince Sergej Semenovich Urusov. Here was a quite unique fellow. On one hand, he was a superb mathematician who had written a textbook on geometry, as well as a famous chess-player; on the other, he was a sincerely religious man, who always lived with thoughts of God, self-perfection and love. . . . [he] had a great many eccentricities. He had a huge build, and always wore boots with very high heels. He held himself extremely erect, and spoke in a deep bass voice. He always wore his officer's Cross of St. George, a decoration he received for bravery in the Sevatopol campaign. With this bald white head and long white beard, he looked every inch the patriarch
from Reminiscences of Tolstoy by his son, Count Ilya Tolstoy
At this period of my life I can also remember Prince Sergei Semyonovitch Urusof. He was a very odd and original man. He was almost a giant in stature. At the time of the Crimean War he was in command of a regiment and I am told he made himself remarkable by his extraordinary courage. He used to climb out of the trenches and walk up and down, dressed all in white, in a perfect rain of shells and bullets.
The story was—I remember his telling it to me himself—that when the troops were going South, and a General who was reviewing his regiment abused one of the soldiers like a pickpocket for having lost a button off his uniform, Urusof called out to the soldier, "Fire at him!" The soldier fired at the General as he was told, but of course took good care not to hit him.
Urusof was deprived of his command for this and was to have been dismissed from the army, but he was ultimately forgiven.
During the siege of Sebastopol he proposed to the Allies to avoid bloodshed by deciding the dispute with a game of chess. He was a very good chess player and could easily give my father a knight and beat him.
We children were rather afraid of him because he had the St. George's Cross at his buttonhole, spoke in a deep bass voice, and was of such gigantic size. In spite of his inches he always wore enormous heels to make himself bigger and I remember his once scolding me for not wearing them too. "How can you make such a guy of yourself?" he said, pointing at my shoes. "A man's beauty lies in his stature, and every one ought to wear big heels."
Somehow or other, by means of the higher mathematics, he used to calculate the length of every one's life, and he averred that he knew when my father and mother would die, but he kept the secret to himself and told no one.
He was strictly Orthodox by conviction. I do not know whether he had any influence on my father at the time when he set out on the search for a religion and began first by looking for it in the Orthodox church, but I think it quite probable that Urusof may have had something to do with it.
Tolstoy himself wrote in Concerning the Congress of Peace (letter to certain Swedes):
I remember, during the siege of Sevastopol, I was one day sitting with the adjutants of Saken, the commander of the garrison, when into the waiting-room came S. S. Urusov, a very brave officer, a very odd fellow, and at the same time one of the best European chess-players of the time. He said that he had some business with the general An adjutant took him to the general's cabinet. Ten minutes later Urusov passed by us with a dissatisfied face. The adjutant who saw him out returned to us and told us on what business Urusov had come to see S&ken. He came to Sdken to ask him to challenge the English to play a game of chess in the front trench, at the van of the Fifth Bastion, which had several times passed from hand to hand and had cost several hundreds of lives.
There is no doubt but that it would have been much better to play chess in the trench than to kill people. But Saken did not consent to Urusov's proposition, as he knew quite well that it would be possible to play chess in the trench only if there existed a mutual confidence in the parties that the condition would be carried out. But the presence of armies standing in front of the trench, and of the cannon directed upon it, proved that no such confidence existed. So long as there were armies on either side, it was evident that the matter would be decided with bayonets, and not with a game of chess.
Sergey Urusov is best remembered today for the gambit named after him: 1.e4 e5 2. Bc4 Nf6 3.d4 exd4 4.Nf3 .
As a chess player, Urusov was close to the top of his Russian contemporaries. He beat Shumov in 4 separate matches, completely dominating him in earch one. He beat C.F. Jaenisch in 1854 and the strong German player, Philipp Hirschfeld in 1866. He drew a short match with of of the strongest masters of the time, his former secretary Ignatz Kolisch. Only A.D. Petrov kept a plus score against Urusov, winning decisively in both of their two matches.
The following opening variation of the Allgaier Gambit, the Urusov Attack, is named after Sergey Urusov who explored it-
Prince Sergey Semyonovich Urusov died on November 20, 1897.
In contrast to Sergey, his younger brother Dmitri, born in February 1829, had a large family. He was married to Varvara Silovna Batatova who bore him 4 sons, Sergey, Peter, Dmitri, Yuri and a daughter Katia. While Sergey had Tolstoy, Dmitry was friends with another writer, Ivan Turgenev. Dmitri retired from the miliarty in 1861 with the rank of Colonel and moved 160 miles NE of Moscow to Spasskoje in the Yaroslavl Oblast.
He was one of the founding members of the St. Petersburg Society of Chess-lovers. His chess tended toward the more positional and he was known as a stout defender of difficult positions. He won a match against Ilya Shumov in 1853.
Dmitry Semyonovich Urusov died on July 23, 1903
The following game was published by Staunton in his book, Chess Praxis in 1860. No date was given for the game which is a rare example of 4 early Russian players in consutaltion and the only game I could find involving Viktor Mikhailov. The game pits Carl Jaenisch and Ilya Shumov against Dmitri Urusov and Viktor Mikhailov.
The above game is also an interesting study in what can happen when, after careful analysis a plan is conceived, a player(s) changes his mind at the last minute, thinking he sees a better move but fails to give that move the same analysis.

FOMC minutes for the August Monetary Policy meeting, released today, showed that members of the committee are moving towards a rate hike sooner rather than later than previously anticipated.
Policy voters " noted that if convergence toward the committee's objectives occurred more quickly than expected, it might become appropriate to begin removing monetary policy accommodations sooner than they currently anticipated." (FOMC Meeting Minutes). It was not clear which exact members of the Fed are pushing for the earlier "normalization" of rates, but it does sound like there is a consensus to quickly end QE, probably in the next meeting. Then it is all about how and when the FOMC will raise its benchmark interest rate from its historic low near 0%.
This is a relatively hawkish statement. To me, it is in-line with the hawkish expectations that have been fueling USD-strength. The USD/JPY for example was already building up a bullish case ahead of today's minutes, and continued to rally afterwards.
USD/JPY Building a Bullish Case; FOMC Minutes Ahead (8/20)
(click to enlarge)
The rally has put the 4H chart in an overbought condition as the RSI reading pops above 70 and even above 80. As price approaches the March-April highs in the 103.75-104.10 area, we should anticipate some sellers especially with the 4H RSI in overbought territory.
The daily RSI is also in the overbought territory. It's ability to push so high is a sigh of bullish momentum to come, but again, it can be seen as an overbought signal in the short-term.
(click to enlarge)
If price fails to break 104 for example, and pulls back. Let's monitor the 102.80-103 area. If USD/JPY can hold above this area, we would have more evidence of a bullish trend developing, which would put pressure not only back on the 104 level, but would also open up the 105.44 high on the year to the bullish outlook.

Kanpur leather units scout land in Bengal
"Some 20 or 25 tanneries have shown interest to open their units here because of problem to get raw materials in Uttar Pradesh. They are looking for land or taking over existing units," Calcutta Leather Complex Tanners Association president Ramesh Juneja told PTI.
Tanneries of Uttar Pradesh were facing shortage of raw materials following the state government's action against illegal slaughter houses.
State MSME secretary Rajiva Sinha said that he had been informed by the local leather industry about their UP firms' interest in opening units in West Bengal.
"A meeting is likely to take place in near future with them. The government will offer all support to accommodate them," he said.
The Calcutta Leather Complex currently has about 350 tanners and leather processors and it cannot offer plot to new units due to constraints in effluent treatment capacity in the complex, Juneja said.
"Two new treatment plants have been proposed by the state government which will help open scope for additional 250 units to set up shop here," he said.
West Bengal government would be pumping Rs 200 crore over the next two years to modernise the complex, Sinha said adding that the DPR for the project was underway.
"To overcome waste management and effluent treatment problems in the leather complex, we are modernising the existing four plants and installing two new plants at a cost of Rs 60 crore as also part of it, Sinha said

Today probably wasn't the best day for the beach, but the kids have been begging to go, so we trekked all the way up to Ambleside Park. It was a far drive and we had to cross 3 bridges to get there, but the kids had fun. Then we stopped by Kintaro on Denman for dinner.
A beach is a fascinating place for kids. I don't quite understand what the appeal is, but most kids love beaches. It could be the sand, or the ocean or a combination of both. I loved going to the beach when I was a kid as well. Summer was really hot from where I grew up and visiting the beach was a treat. However, I can't say the same for Vancouver. I always find it too cold here even on hot summer days. I'm definitely a tropical person. I love the sun and heat, and I'm perfectly happy in 28 degree temperature. I always dream of living somewhere in the tropics. One day…
I can't believe there is only one more week of school left for Ilia. This year has gone by way too fast! Hopefully with the start of summer holidays, we'll be able to get out more and spend more time together as a family. I love building good memories with the kids, and I think that's very important in creating a strong bond between them. We had a major trip last year to Australia and another family trip this year to LA and San Diego. The kids still remember all the things they did and they would ask when we could go back again. Hopefully we'll be able to go on a family trip once a year and keep this family tradition well into their adult life.
What fun things do you do as a family together? What activities are you planning for this Summer? Share in comment please!

It's the Fourth of July and the AT&T PGA National Golf tournament is in town at Congressional Country Club. The Tiger Woods Foundation put the call out to lots of local community service groups asking for volunteers to work the tournament and the Jaycees jumped at the chance. Well, actually Mike jumped at the chance since Tiger was supposed to play this weekend. However, as you know Tiger injured himself several weeks ago and he's not allowed to play. We signed up to volunteer anyway to make some money for the chapter. We were the only Jaycees there today but we worked with the Kiwanis and some people from CASA. We were stationed in a nice tent near the 11th green and we sold sodas, water, hot dogs, brats, and some other goodies. It was a sunny hot day for most of the day and we had some pretty decent crowds, which makes the day go by much faster. After our shift was over we walked around to see some of the golfers. I don't know many of them, but we saw KJ Choi, Davis Love III, and local boy Fred Funk. I also saw some nice, young, cute golfers who were certainly nice to look at! We go back Sunday to work the tent with several more Jaycees. Sunday is the big golfing day so it should be pretty exciting.
Now we're going out to hopefully watch some fireworks - if it stops raining. Happy fourth, America!

Cannabis eye drops
A CLEAN AND STERILE WORK ENVIRONMENT IS CRUCIAL… the dropper bottle must be sterilized, the saline must be sterilized, the oil, lecithin, and cannabis, all must be sterilized.
Boiling hot water and a few drops of bleach can be used to sterilize the tools you'll use, plain hot water for the dropper bottle, the alcohol and heated evaporation process will sterilize the concentrate. The glycerin and oils may be pre-heated and sterilized, and will be heated again when bonding with the concentrate.

Healthcare or Disease Maintenance? – Codex Alimentarius
Doctors who have spent their lives acquiring knowledge that is far beyond that of a layperson are not likely to listen to someone who does not possess this knowledge ⎯ especially if the person suggests that solutions to health problems could be found through a change of diet and lifestyle. Doing so would require that they reevaluate their entire medical education and could even mean contemplating the possibility that most of what they learned in medical school about health was wrong. That would be quite a pill to swallow. But there is another reason and probably the strongest of all ⎯ economics. It would not be economically feasible for the disease industry. Continue reading "Codex Alimentarius – U.N. Dictate"
A study of the periodic table of elements shows:
sulfur, selenium, and tellurium
as being the only three oxygen transport minerals.
Further study shows that:
chlorine and fluorine
are detrimental to such oxygen transport, yet these elements have been added to make our teeth "healthier" and our water "more pure" or free from bacterial infestation.
These elements are poisonous at higher concentrations, and they block the uptake of both oxygen and sulfur. Drinking city tap water is discouraged for this reason.
The Study believes that a widespread deficiency in the mineral sulfur may be responsible for the great increase in disease in the U.S. Healthy cellular metabolism is the basis for cellular regeneration of all of our cells. This is the bottom line for the human body.
Without intracellular oxygen, we begin to degenerate long before our biological clock runs out.

Dr. Cass Ingram's Thyroid Gland Test
Do you have questions about your thyroid function?
The Sluggish Thyroid Syndrome is perhaps the most commonly occurring hormonal disturbance in America today. It afflicts millions of people of all ages and sexes, although adult women are its usual victims.
The thyroid gland controls the metabolic rate and is descriptively known as the "master of metabolism". As many as one in four Americans suffer from reduced thyroid function.
Reduced body temperature is perhaps the most common consequence of impaired thyroid function. The individual who wears several extra layers of clothes, wears socks to bed, or who has "ice cold hands" is typically thyroid deficient. The person who abhors the onset of winter is usually thyroid-deficient.
As the master of metabolism the thyroid gland exerts control of several critical functions, including body temperature, digestive enzyme synthesis, stomach acid production, fuel combustion, fat and protein synthesis, white blood cell synthesis and activity, and blood flow.
There are five medicinals that are literal superheroes when it comes to medicine and dealing with any disease. These five emergency room and intensive care medicines hold the key to the safe practice of medicine on children who suffer more from acute disorders that must be addressed quickly.
Magnesium salts
Sodium Bicarbonate (baking soda)
Vitamin C
These are concentrated nutritional medicinals that are used in the direst medical circumstances and should be in abundance in every home.

This Tea Heals Fibromyalgia, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Hashimoto's, Multiple Sclerosis, And More
Thyme has been popular for centuries, and it has been commonly used to treat various ailments, from flu to epileptic seizures.
During the middle ages, people mixed thyme with lavender in equal amounts and sprinkled on the floors of churches to get rid of any unwanted odors. Moreover, it has also been used to heal wounds and prevent infections, and it was applied crushed on the affected areas.
Its volatile essential oils are high in antiviral, anti-rheumatic, antiseptic, anti-parasitic, and anti-fungal properties. Continue reading "Thyme"
The thyroid hormones, triiodothyronine and its prohormone, thyroxine, are tyrosine-based hormones produced by the thyroid gland that are primarily responsible for regulation of metabolism.
Non Gender Specific Hormones Assembled via Nutrient Therapy
Here's what to eat (and why) to improve your thyroid function:
Cruciferous vegetables. Eat them raw, cooked or juiced
Brazil nuts. These are the richest dietary source of selenium, which is essential in converting thyroxine to its active form, T3
Sea vegetables
No gluten
No soy protein isolate
Activities that Improve Thyroid Function
Moderate exercise performed three or more times each week can stimulate thyroid function. The best types of exercise, according to TheNaturalPlace.com, are walking, swimming, water aerobics, biking or jumping on a mini-trampoline. Exercise that increases metabolism, reduces stress and strengthens the immune system, such as yoga and Tai Chi, is also recommended. In a study published in "Neuroendocrinology Letters" in December 2005, researchers found that low-intensity exercise was beneficial to thyroid hormone levels.
Many people with hypothyroidism experience weight gain from a lowered caloric need. Weight training, a form of anaerobic exercise, can help to improve fitness and metabolic rate for weight loss once thyroid levels have stabilized, according to CSA.com. Under-active thyroid can cause joint pain and weakened muscles from impaired respiration and oxygen supply. Individuals with untreated hypothyroidism may have a low tolerance for high-intensity anaerobic exercise.
* 3 tablespoons macerate of comfrey, calendula and plantain (see instructions on how to make it below) – acting anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and promotes healing, it is rich in antioxidants
* 2 teaspoons of Shea butter – it is anti-inflammatory and allows deeper penetration of balsam (pharmacies)
* 2 tablespoons of coconut oil – natural foods, nourishes and speed up the process of healing
* 2 tablespoons of beeswax – conserve medicinal ingredients in the balm
* 1 teaspoon of vitamin E oil – has a positive effect on skin health and healing (and pharmacies)
* 2 tablespoons of activated carbon powder – pulls out bacteria and toxins (pharmacy, health food store)
* 2 tablespoons of kaolin clay – extracts chemicals and toxins from the skin, do not use metal objects for mixing (pharmacy, health food store)
* 1 tablespoon of honey – antibacterial and moisturizing
* 20 drops of essential oil of lavender – acting regenerative and relieves pain
1. It is important to prepare the macerate first.
You need tablespoon of each plant chopped into powder and half a cup of olive oil. Macerate can be prepared in 2 ways.
The first is to put plants in the oil an let it stay in a sealed jar for 4 weeks and then strain.
Another way is to heat the oil and herbs in a bowl with double bottom and leave the oil to cook on the weakest heat for about an hour until it gets dark and the strong odor, then strain.
2. Mix macerate, Shea butter, coconut oil, beeswax, vitamin E and honey in a jar that you previously put in a bowl with water.
3. Heat the water to a boil and carefully mix the ingredients with nonmetallic spoon until all dissolved.
4. Remove from heat and add activated charcoal, kaolin and lavender essential oil and mix well again.
5. Quick-pour balm into small jars or tins and let it stay.
6. Keep balm in tightly sealed containers and use it with the above problems.

I accessed my website today to find it completely misformatted. After a complete day trying to find the problem and working with tech support for Site Solutions with no help I decided to start over. The blog static page I had for Manage Health Naturally was also misformatted and I was unable to fix that either nor could I work on either.
So I'm starting over with another blog for health information. Hopefully I will be able to transfer some of the files from the old blog and site.
Please be patient as I continue to upload information to populate this blog.
Thank you and Happy New Year!

Britne Oldford ("American Horror Story") plays the female lead in Syfy's upcoming 13-episode adaptation of Whitley Strieber's best-selling novel "Alien Hunter," which tells the story of a brilliant police detective's obsessive investigation into the mysterious disappearance of his wife, which he eventually concludes wasn't at all voluntary, even though it initially appears that way. Somebody is taking people and making it look like they walked out on their own. As the detective gets closer to the truth, his work comes to the attention of Special Agent Diana Glass, a member of the most secret police unit on the planet, tasked with seeking out the most brilliant and lethal criminals, but from another world. Special Agent Glass leads the detective into a hidden fantastical world of extraordinary challenge and danger, as they take on the most difficult police assignment ever known to man.
To be tiled simply "Hunters," the Syfy series adaptation will star Nathan Phillips as the brilliant police detective in search of his missing wife, and Britne Oldford as Special Agent Diana Glass.
Julian McMahon also co-stars.
The Syfy adaptation won't be a literal translation of the book, but it looks like the main premise and 2 lead characters will remain the similar, even if their identities are changed.
It's executive produced by Gale Anne Hurd ("The Walking Dead," and the "Terminator" movies) and Natalie Chaidez ("12 Monkeys," "Heroes"), so it appears to be in good hands. Even better is that Ernest Dickerson directed the pilot episode.
The series premieres in April 2016.
Syfy has released a new promo for the upcoming series, which is embedded below:

Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Duke University, 6319 Mimosa Drive, Chapel Hill, NC email@example.com
The purpose of this study is to account for failures of wood utility poles in wind storms based on dynamic analysis and pole imperfections. The utility pole supporting multiple overhead transmission lines is modeled as a uniform Bernoulli–Euler cantilevered beam fixed at the base and subjected to three types of suddenly applied transverse loads that simulate a wind gust: a uniform pole pressure, a point load at the tip accounting for line and transformer drag, and another point load near midlength, accounting for drag on lines strung from that location. The dynamic pole moments are based on normal mode calculations rather than static calculations with a dynamic impact factor, and the critical flexural stresses include stress concentrations arising from pole imperfections such as holes, knots, and surface gouges. A case study illustrates the results for one of about 400 failed wood poles downed in a single New Jersey storm in 2003 with 107 km/h (67 m/h) wind gusts. Here, the critical pole stress based on the dynamic model and a hole imperfection exceeded the proportional limit stress of the wood. The predicted dynamic stresses are higher than those based on the National Electrical Safety Code.

If you already read parts 1 and 2, click the "read more" button to continue your learning with Part 3 of the How to get Referrals series.
How to get referrals step 5 - Social
"Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the
small ones."
Phillip Brooks
This is a great quote that directly correlates to being social online, you don't have to have a million dollar idea to share, just a lot of little ideas to sprinkle every where you go.
There are lots of ways to be social online, all of them offer us many things. Perhaps the largest benefit to social marketing for finding referrals is that no matter what way we do it the people reading and interacting with us have a certain amount of interest already.
Think about all the forums you read, why did you sign up to them? Why do you still visit them daily? If you answer those two questions you will understand why the people on the forum are there as well.
With most forums being about a very specific topic, like sports, or finding things to do online worth your time, and my personal favorite are the ones that pay you to post and talk about making money. This gives us a great way to find very specific people that need and are actively looking for help. (You remember how crucial helping people is right?)
It's pretty easy to find forums about any topic you want, and find knowledgeable people on a given topic. This fact alone makes them so bountiful. You need to be one of those experienced people sharing their knowledge on a number of forums. That doesn't mean you have to have 1,000's of posts on each forum to gain peoples trust, but you do need to have more then 2 posts. All forums show post counts of each member, if someone reads your post and finds it helpful, but then see that you only posted a couple times they are not likely to act on your post.
Take a look at this article for a really good guide to forums, along with a short list of some of the best paid to post forums out there. The article is about paid to post forums, but all the tips directly help increase the effectiveness of all the forums you post on. Make sure to read the final tip in the article for a really good trick to help make forum posting easier on yourself!
Few things to remember about forums:
- As discussed in part 1 of the series, these are a great way to increase your "brand" online.
- Utilize your signature to promote your blog/site and any articles you have written.
- Some forums do not allow your signature to contain referral links, so make sure to read the sig rules of each forum.
- Always fill out your profile, and write a quality introduction. Both are sure fire ways to increase your trust and a great way to offer help.
- You don't have to post everyday on all forums, but you should try to post at least several times a week. Consistency is key to build forum presence that translates into trust.
- Not all forums will be effective for finding referrals.
- Posting on 10-15 forums at least once a week is recommended. (paid to post are great, but regulars are fine)
How to get Referrals step 6 - Networking
The popularity of Social Networks makes these something you simply should not ignore!
There are some really large Social Networking sites out there we all know of like Myspace,Facebook and Twitter.But there are literally 100's of them. These are some of the greatest free ways to find referrals by sheer numbers alone.
Like a blog or forum, this is another great way to create establish your "brand" and build trust.
Just like your blog though, you want to build peoples trust with content that gives information, but then being available to help.
Taking the time to create a complete profile on 3-5 social sites will take a few hours, but is very much worth your time because it's like having a extra blog on each site that you don't have to regularly update. You can create a profile on all the networks you want, but you want to focus on being really active on about 4. Any more and you will find it difficult to keep up with them, and any less then your missing a large free advertising source.
You can put any number of links about anything you want on your profile. You can build friendships through any number of ways. You have the ability to connect with these people and help them. Each network has groups that are about a specific topic just like a forum, make sure to join the groups about money to share your knowledge and find referrals.
Things to know about social networks:
- Unlike forums, not everyone on them is looking for knowledge or information, many just want social interaction. So when a person doesn't respond to you, move on.
- Filling out your profile is crucial, just saying visit my blog will not work. You need to build that trust for them to want to care about your blog.
- Being at least semi-active is a must, log in no less then couple times a week to approve friend requests and reply to any messages.
- Be very careful about spamming friend requests or on groups. These sites have lots of spammers already, you don't want to blend in with them and risk getting banned from them.
- Some are very specific in the region of the world or age groups there members are, so some will not work for finding referrals no matter how hard you try.
- You do not have to actually have to "be social" on them talking about the latest news or gossip. But you do have to be willing to talk with people about what it is you promote.
- Twitter - This one is HUGE, you simply can not ignore this site. It's the 14th most used site worldwide! I won't go into how to use it from the sign up process to get more followers. But here's a few quick tips, you should have it set-up so you send a direct message to everyone that follows you. You should post at least once a day, people pay attention to people that post more often. Not all your posts should be promotional, mix in questions, jokes, and general thoughts. Like all sites, make sure to fill out your profile and link to your blog.
- FaceBook & Myspace - Easily the two largest Networks out there. Both are great sites and have some highly receptive people that can be your referrals.
- Mypage5 - One of the larger get paid to Social Networks. You earn a cent or few for everything you do on the site, uploading pics, posting comments, active in the forums, logging in each day, even just rating other peoples profiles and pics. Make sure to upload a picture when you sign up to start off with $5.
- Wiki Page listing 100's of them. Find Social sites that are primarily region specific that would allow sign ups to the sites you promote.

Using outside ambient air instead of mechanical cooling, operators can significantly reduce their energy bills. Although cold climates offer natural cooling opportunities, there are trade-offs to locating data centres in cold weather regions. With average temperatures of -20˚C in winter, frost and snow can become a real hazard to air conditioning units, cooling towers and generators. For example, it is difficult to heat the air from the outside in extremely low temperatures, resulting in facilities operating outside of the recommended temperature ranges. 28 Outdoor equipment, such as drainage pipes, HVAC coils and fuel systems are also vulnerable. If HVAC units are not sealed correctly, they can easily allow snow to enter the facility, while frozen units can begin to leak water once the thaw begins. At the same time, external pipes and poorly insulated internal water lines can burst when exposed to sub-zero temperatures, leading to considerable damage and disruption. Ensuring reliable protection Although data centre outages can be unpredictable, there are certain precaution methods that can be taken by operators to minimise those risks. For example, to reduce water damage, leak detection sensors should be installed around the perimeter of the room approximately 3ft from the outer walls. If there is a raised floor, the sensor should be placed under it as liquids always seek the lowest point. Two types of sensors can be commonly found for water based leaks: spot and water snake cable based sensors. Spot sensors will trigger an alert when water reaches the unit. Water rope or water snake cable sensors use a conductive cable whereby contact at any point causes the alert. The latter is recommended due to its higher range and accuracy. For fuel based leaks, sensors need to be deployed around the generator pad, under day tanks, in double wall pipes or trenches connecting the supply to minimise risks. The product in place must be able to react to the presence of diesel in a few seconds and detect a puddle of fuel spreading across a flat surface, or a layer of diesel floating on water. For better efficiency, the sensor cable should monitor large amounts of piping with accuracy and consistent precision. For data centres in cold climates, a high performance frost protection system can be installed to prevent damage to the building and its contents. Self-regulating heat tracing cables can be easily mounted directly onto pipes, drains, gutters or around HVAC units and generators to protect from frost and ensure that a continuous drain path is maintained. They automatically adjust their heat output to the surrounding temperature for optimum energy efficiency and are highly resistant to extreme environments. In addition, advanced control systems ensure that the system is only operating when it freezes, further contributing to data centre energy saving initiatives.

Learn How to Take Care of a Tattoo Now
Nowadays, many people are sporting tattoos in different parts of their body. However, only few of them know how to take care of a tattoo. Majority of people do not care much about their tattoo after getting inked. Because tattoos use permanent ink, there are people who think that these do not fade.
People with tattoos should learn how to take care of their body markings. This is to ensure that tattoos will stay as beautiful as they are for a long time. Do you know that most tattoos that are ignored fade easily? To prevent this, here are some ways on how to take care of a tattoo:
To prevent airborne infections, cover your new tattoo with a bandage
It is best to use a think, absorbent, and non-adhesive kind of bandage. Some tattoo artists will instruct you to leave the bandage on for a day or two. If you want your tattoo to heal faster, then always listen to what your tattooist have to say.
Once you remove the bandage, wash off blood or plasma with lukewarm water
It is important to keep your tattoo dry and clean all the time, especially when it is new. When your tattoo is already dry, apply a little amount of ointment or cream to make it shiny. Do not apply too much ointment/cream as it may only cause bacterial infections.
Avoid soaking your tattoo in water for a couple of weeks
This does not mean that you cannot take a bath. However, swimming in the pool may draw out the ink off your skin. As a result, your new tattoo will fade faster.
Avoid exposing your tattoo to too much sunlight
In order to maintain the color and style of your tattoo, you should apply sun block. This will help prevent discoloration and fading. Applying a lotion or moisturizer will also keep your skin hydrated. This is important because the skin surrounding your tattoo will develop wrinkles when it gets dehydrated. This will ultimately damage your tattoo.
If your tattoo is new, wear loose clothes if possible and avoid working out
Tight-fitting clothes will stick to your skin, potentially causing damage to your tattoo. Exercising, on the other hand, will cause you to produce a lot of sweat. This will make your tattoo wet.
These are just some of the many ways on how to take care of a tattoo. Even before getting inked, make sure that you are knowledgeable of these things. Nonetheless, a professional tattooist will also teach you these.

As we began to declutter, I had the wonderful surprise of actually having free time. Suddenly, I was no longer spending every waking hour either at work or cleaning the house!
And there I sat, wondering what to do.
It was time to find a hobby. I experimented with a number of hobbies. I designated one room in the house as my hobby room, where I collected paints and brushes, cross stitch kits, and a mountain of scrapbooking supplies. I cropped, cut, and pasted and found that room growing more and more cluttered.
Every Christmas, my scrapbooking supplies increased, until simply getting them all out and putting them away wasn't worth the time. I found myself losing interest in this hobby, so my supplies were relegated to the back of the closet, where they sat neatly tucked away in their fancy containers. Right next to the paints and brushes, the cross stitch kits, and a pile of board games.
How much hobby equipment do you store? What could you do with the space where it sits, gathering dust?
Today I am going to give you some suggestions for clearing up that space, while still finding plenty of fun to have during your leisure time.
1. Keep no more than one clutter-inducing hobby.
I have a friend who loves pottery. It is her passion. So of course she has a room designated to contain the tools of her trade. The same goes if you love cooking, or even scrapbooking. The rule of thumb is, if your tools are out more than they are in, this is a hobby you should consider keeping.
But go into that closet or attic, and free up the space that is being occupied by all those unused hobby tools. I found a wonderful home for my scrapbooking supplies, and we have recently donated our board games.
2. If it's something you want to keep doing, pare down.
Scrapbooking was fun for me. But I enjoyed getting together with friends and cropping. That just wasn't feasible with my multiple rolly bags of supplies. So, for awhile, I got it down to one hand-held bag. I kept some hand-selected papers in my book, and put my scissors, glue, and pictures in the bag. I just had the basics, and I found that the convenience allowed me to use them more.
We did the same thing with cooking. I loved cooking when I had a full kitchen. But I didn't need a million mixing bowls or a full set of pots and pans. I happily created with one good knife, one mixing bowl, and three pans.
3. Fill your day with clutter-free activities.
Moving onto the sailboat, we have realized that the most fun activities don't involve any clutter at all. Here are some ways that we spend out time now:
- Get a museum or zoo membership. Beanie loves the Children's Museum, where she can play with toys that don't clutter our home.
- Join a gym for clutter-free fitness and classes.
- Explore the trails at a nature center or park.
- Have fun on the water! Canoing or kayaking don't involve a lot of clutter.
- Take a walk to an interesting site in town, and pack a picnic lunch.
- Photography and writing are great low-clutter hobbies for those who love to create.
- On rainy days, consider a social video game system. We have a Nintendo Wii and love it. It does not replace outdoor activities on nice days, but a lot of the games available are designed for groups to play and socially interact.
The possibilities are really endless! It definitely is easy to find activities to fill your day once you gain the free time that comes with decluttering your home.

We've said for a while now that the structure of English football will lead to less competition as each year passes by, and we're already seeing that.
Paul Sturrock addressed some of the problems over the weekend when he said:
"The three teams coming down have brought a distance between themselves and the rest of us.
"Something has to change, something is wrong. "
"You can look at leagues around Europe and name the teams who will finish in the top three. That is not a healthy situation to be in but it is the reality."
"You may get an outsider challenging but that is all. Money talks."
There are really at least 3 groups of teams in England:
- The Premier Top 4 – maybe top 5 after this season
- The rest of the Premier League
- The remaining leagues in England starting with the Championship
And the fact that the 3 relegated teams from the Premier League last season are now the top 3 sides in the Championship, is simply an indication of the increasing gulf between groups 2 and 3 above.
In American sports they balance things, and try to level out the competition and the playing field, if you will, by giving the worst placed teams in their leagues, the first round draft picks.
This means the worst teams get the to choose the best players coming out of college.
But college sports and draft picks do not exist in countries outside the USA – and the USA are the only country we know of which has big time college sports.
Other counties concentrate almost completely on academics in their colleges, to the exclusion of sports, which very much take a back seat in college life.
So there's a growing tendency in English football of the rich getting richer – and therefore better.
And the only way this can be changed right now, is for a multi-billionaire to come in and buy a team for say £200M, as we have witnessed recently with Man City, and before that with Chelsea.
But there's something very wrong and distasteful with that.
The current system in place with English football (the same applies to European football), is that it is moving away from competition – and it's hard to argue with that premise.
UEFA President Platini's recent announcements to force clubs to balance their books withing 3 years and then only spend the money they make in the game, will help.
And is was almost comical when Man City's manager Mark Hughes came out against that idea – well surprise, surprise.
That's part of the "I'm alright Jack – so don't change anything" thinking.
And Platini's changes will probably stop multi-billionaires coming in and buying a team – maybe.
But again bigger clubs make bigger money, and therefore will buy the better players and the trend will continue.
At some point this need to be addressed by the football authorities before things get even worse.
A salary cap on each club seems inevitable – it's just when it will be implemented – and that will all help – but the problem will not be solved completely.
Somehow more of the money earned by the PL clubs through word-wide TV rights, needs to be distributed downstream – trickle down economics if you like.
We don't know what the solution will be – but something needs to be done – and soon.
Comments welcome.

If something is done soon Ed can you see European football going the same way as the American Soccer League of the 70s and 80s?
I think that Platini has a good handle on what is happening to football and is trying to make the game more interesting by limiting the big spenders. I think it will implode if it continues as it is because the amount of money thrown around is just not sustainable.
What will the likes of Aston Villa, Everton, Spurs etc see as success this season? They are (apart from Everton) spending silly money to try and compete for a place in Europe and hoping to challenge the top 4/5. As Man City are almost certainly going to finish up there this season what will happen in the long term to the team that they pip for a top 4 place? Spend more money to compete or consolidate and settle for less? It cannot go on this way.
Ourselves and Leeds are two famous names that have seen this happen already partially as a result of spending over our means.
I don't mind it the way it is….just like life you have the haves and have nots.
I think what man city have done so far is great for the fans and I bet it's an exciting time to be a supporter..watching players like Robhino week in week out…they will be unstoppable in a couple of seasons with a decent manager in charge.
A Few more world class players,give them time to gel together and City will crush the Madrid's and Man Utd's no problem.
What is fascinating is ManU being blown out of the transfer market by Chelsea and now Man City but they still cling grimly on with their unique style of intimidation and pressure on officials and their grip on the media.
First Arsenal and then Citeh were stiffened by referee controversy but its just brushed aside, it would be entirely different if the results had gone the other way but as the power shifts and the other teams improve, i for one cant wait to see them get their just deserts.
My point is, there will never be a level playing field in England until they treat ManU and possibly Chelsea, the same as the other teams, but im not holding my breath.
A change is necessary to save the game but I seriously can't see it happening. Teams like Manure and Real Madrid have too much pull in the game and will fight it tooth and nail to get the whole salary cap thing dropped.
For the sake of world football's future though this needs to be fixed before a number of decent clubs go under because of unsustainable finances.
If Platini can see this through about balancing the books, it would be interesting to see how teams like Man Utd cope with that seeing how they have hundreds of millions worth of debt.
I wouldn't want the likes of Robinho at our club. He couldn't even remember which club he had signed for. Motivation ? $$$$
But football is now big business, and I don't think we can stop what is happening. Ultimately we'll end up with a few global teams,- a bit like multinationals. Some owners will see it as a play thing (Abramowich), others as away of making money or State Marketing ( The Gulf States-look at what they've done in Athletics). Can't see anything good in this either way.
Xisco would have scored at least 7 goals for us till now…..we should have kept him and played Ranger in the cup games instead.
Xisco could have been a star if pushed the same way Ranger was pushed to the team…..Ranger scored 25+ forr the reserves and youths…..Xisco would have scored 30 only for the reserves.
i'm still..slightly unsure, of Harewood like but bring him in and see what he can do. We need firepower and he's a big lad so hopefully he can bag a few. Will look forward to the first chorus of "feed the hare and he will score" after he's bagged his first for us,lol.
As far as the whole money issue goes, i think its disgusting to see what the likes of Citeh are doing, but put the shoe on the other foot. If we were watching Robinho and co stepping out onto SJP every week we'd be overjoyed and wouldnt give a sh!te what anyone else thought. I dunno, maybe i would…i want to know i support a proud and honourable football club, but at the same time they'll be up the top of the league come the end of the season. As many others have said, money talks.
The only way forward in england is:
Top 2 leagues bein' fed by the 2 lower leagues which would be collegiate teams, a la American sport…The lower leagues full of kids learnin' their trade & a 'trade' if all goes wrong for them (injuries, not makin' the grade etc)…No bairns with big money 'til they've 'made the grade'!..Therefore:
More people would go see the lower leagues to see who might come thru from their area, to the 'big time'…& therefore be less likely to get into financial trouble!..
…Salary caps for said 'big time' operators…& the need to balance the books or no place in the top leagues!..
…Video evidence & more refs, to cut out all the controversy & 'big team' pressure on said refs…
…Which is ruinin' the game & potentially puttin' teams down & out of business…
…All in all, makin' for a level playin' field & helpin' kids from the respective country come thru to make it to international level…
…Ah well, doubt it'll ever happen!..
Haven't read other posts and don't know if i am repeating others comments from previous threads, however i would find it unlikely as most people on here are dense.
I know it's not relating to this thread but it's too topical to forget.
Barry Moat has no intention of buying us. He is being used, wilfully, by Ashley to undermine Keegan.
He wants to put pressure on Keegan to settle out of court by making it sound as if the Moat deal won't go through whilst the Keegan saga remains.
Don't be fooled! Keegan can see right through the fat bloke's motives and I hope he takes him to the cleaners. Cos there is one thing for certain, Ashley can afford it despite what he would like you to believe!!!!
Hail the Messiah.!
@Troy Stavers. I agree that Keegan deffo has a case to answer, and I too have heard the Barry Moat rumours, but to be honest I don't believe a word of them. Heard it all before, and as for the fat blokes motives, I seriously believe he came in with the best of intentions, but made a complete balls of it, and has no idea how to undo the damage he has done. The club is for sale, Moat has been involved (as confirmed by various 'trusted' sources), however, he is one of a number of groups (widely believed to be 3, but unconfirmed) hoping to purchase the club. I personnaly dont want Moat, as he cannot raise cash for the overdraft facility, where will he get cash for transfers? He is reputedly an unscrupulous man who will asset strip and sell anything he can anyway.
@Troy Stavers
I highly doubt what you're saying is true, no offence. But that to me sounds like a rather elaborate conspiracy theory.
On two counts:
1. Mike Ashley has made a complete hash of running our club out of stupidity, yet we're expected to believe that he could create such a smokescreen as Barry Moats bid..doubt it.
2. Barry Moat is and has been clearly outlined as a potential bidder out of around 3 (as G pointed out). And I seriously doubt he has any involvement in such a devious plot as your suggesting.
I personally don't want Barry Moat in as I get the impression we'd be moving backwards with him in charge seeing how he is skinting himself just buying the club. I hope the American consortium firms up their offer first.
I have absolutely no wish to see MA stay in charge of the toon, however, given the rumours doing the rounds about Moat, I think this may deffo be a case of 'better the devil you know'. I would dearly love to see somebody buy the club outright and put in a policy with regards to generating funds and buying players, but from the sounds of it Moat is worse at striping and selling than MA. As for secret backers who do not want to be named, or give money to MA, how on earth can they prove proof of finance if they refuse to give thier names and credentials? No offence Troy, but your story reeks of 'Barry'.
Back on topic, the top 3 champ teams might be the relegated ones but it's not as if we're smashing every team 5- 0 (hello boro 😉 ) is it? Honestly we've been lucky with a few of the results so where is the gulf?
You might also like to point out that those giants of football; Burnley, Birmingham and Wolves are all sitting in safety at the minute in the Prem. And don't forget the mighty Burnley had the sheer cheek to beat Manure!
The money in the game now is ruining it in my view but it will keep happening for as long as football remains popular, any regulations brought in to curb it will just be swerved by the big clubs.
There is loads of stuff all over the internet which suggest's the guy is only ever involved in any business deal in order to stuff his pockets full of cash and get out of the door with as much in his own coffers rather than the business. Its all rumour to be honest, but there no smoke without fire? A quick search on google seems to provide little in the way of evidence against this? All I am saying is lets treat his bid with caution, remember the way we all heralded MA when he arrived, just cos he bought a couple of tarts and some charva's a pint in Blu-Bambu he was called a geordie abramovic? A billionaire owner, the only way is up, champions league here we come? Lets just wait and see on the next one eh.
Most of the posts were spot on about how too few clubs having too much money, and how certain players are only interested in making big bucks from their employers.
I would like to point to another area that IMHO has the potential to kill off football. Namely awful referees and assistant refs. I watched the ManU and Chelsea matches on Sunday and felt that the refs in both cases were very poor.
If that standard of refereeing continues, then it wont be long before fans start thinking that the result of the match will not be decided by the players, but by lousy refs. In that case they will just drift away.
Let's just hope your right Stuart,
But I am siding with G currently. I feel that if Moat could afford to buy us and run us then this would have been concluded weeks ago.
Again I hope I am wrong, but the negativity is beginning to control me and I fear the worst the more this drags out.
But hey why worry about things out of our control, as long as the results on the pitch keep coming I will keep a smile on my face!

Their all in it to make money G.
Abramovitch and Arabs at city know they will get their money back when they sell.
The clubs they sell will be much bigger, better and successful and worth at the very least what they have invested.

BENZONIA — It was a back-and-forth battle all day.
Unfortunately for the Charlevoix boys' track team, host Benzie Central had just enough left in the tank at the end.
The Huskies broke away from a tight battle along with Charlevoix, Leroy Pine River and Harrison by placing four runners in the top six in the 3200-meter run as Benzie won the Division III regional Saturday at Benzie Central High School.
Benzie finished with 115.5 points, while Charlevoix was second with 99.5 points. Pine River was third with 86, followed by Harrison, 72.
"Overall, it was a great battle," veteran Charlevoix coach Ken Plude said. "Benzie Central just had some more battlers. It was really close going into the final four events and three teams were only seperated by four points.
