We believe in a peaceful world where all people share a safe, just and dignified life.
We believe that we all have a responsibility to take action for a better world. Joining thousands working together to make a difference.
Janet Cousens, Programs & Policy Director at Act for Peace, argues that building local partnerships can often be the most effective way of achieving global change, particularly for communities affected by conflict.
In September 2000, world leaders came together to commit their nations to reduce extreme poverty with a series of targets known as the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The MDGs have galvanized unprecedented efforts to meet the needs of the world's poorest. Since then, significant progress has been made in health and education, and the number of people living in extreme poverty has halved. So what has been driving this progress, how do global initiatives like the MDGs get implemented? Ultimately, of course, poverty reduction needs to occur within poor communities themselves. Wells need to be dug, health workers trained, girls sent to school, livelihoods improved. Global and regional agreements, national governments and institutions, NGOs, community organisations and, most importantly, poor people themselves have all played a vital role in this progress. However, these improvements have not been felt by everyone. As other poor countries have developed, lifting people out of poverty, many conflict-affected countries have been left behind. In 2005, around 20% of the world's poor lived in fragile states. By 2015, that number is expected to be over 50%. That's why Act for Peace focuses on supporting survivors of conflict and disaster – put simply, they are the people that need our help the most. Conflict not only kills directly, it also forces people from their land so they can't harvest their crops (as we are tragically seeing now with the impending famine in South Sudan). It destroys businesses, schools, hospitals. It pushes people into vulnerable situations, and it often means that government or other social safety nets are no longer there to support people. So what can be done to assist people, when their own governments can't or won't? In these type of situations, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) have an even bigger role to play, providing humanitarian relief and helping people to rebuild their lives. And it's Act for Peace's belief that working in partnership with local organisations is the most effective way for NGOs to create change within these conflict-affected communities. Let me explain what local partners are, and what working in partnership with them means. Act for Peace's local partners are mainly organisations that are set up, staffed and run by people who come from the communities in which they operate. They speak the language, they understand the culture, and they know the people of influence in the area. They have a long-term commitment to the local people, because they are the local people. Many of our local partners are Councils of Churches, who are very well placed to assist people when other institutions fail them. Churches have strong networks, meaning they can mobilise volunteers and reach people quickly when a crisis occurs. They are also trusted leaders, are motivated by faith, and able to communicate important messages and promote peace and reconciliation. Compared to foreign aid workers, who may only work in an area for a few months or years, local partners are often better able to win the trust of the community and achieve a faster or more effective impact. Crucially, programs run by local partners are often more sustainable, being owned by the communities themselves and less likely to come to a halt once aid workers leave.
At Act for Peace, our approach to partnership is just that, a genuine two-way relationship. Rather than coming with an agenda, we trust the local organisations we work with to identify the priority needs of the communities they serve, and to deliver programs in a way that takes account of local sensitivities.
At Act for Peace, our approach to partnership is just that, a genuine two-way relationship. Rather than coming with an agenda, we trust the local organisations we work with to identify the priority needs of the communities they serve, and to deliver programs in a way that takes account of local sensitivities. In return, we provide funding and what we call capacity-building, which is essentially sharing best practice from across the world in how to design and implement programs that make a real impact. By working with partners, we ensure that our programs are sensitive to the local context, but there are some fundamental principles that all our partners adhere to and that we will never compromise on. These include working with the most vulnerable without discrimination, regardless of race, religion, gender or disability; never using humanitarian aid to pursue a particular political or religious partisan standpoint; and always upholding the highest standards of integrity, professionalism and accountability. We believe that the most effective and sustainable change occurs when it is owned and driven by the affected communities themselves. As an ecumenical organisation, we also know that by working together we are stronger than the sum of our parts. That's why we are a member of the ACT Alliance, a global coalition of 144 grass-roots organisations working to confront injustice in 130 countries. Together we share resources, best practice, and work together to influence change at the global level. We believe that this combination of local empowerment and global coordination is one of the most effective ways to achieve change, especially for survivors of conflict who are being left behind as more peaceful countries develop.
When Typhoon Haiyan struck in November, our local partner the National Council of Churches in the Philippines was able to use its existing network to rapidly mobilise volunteers and reach thousands of people quickly with emergency supplies.

JWoww: I Thought I Miscarried Before Finding Out I Was Definitely Pregnant
JWoww reveals she feared she had a miscarriage before discovering she was successfully pregnant in an intimate new post on her blog. The former "Jersey Shore" star explains that when she first took a few home pregnancy tests last fall, "I got faint lines but they were barely visible so I still wasn't sure."
While JWoww set off on a work trip believing she was likely pregnant, boyfriend Roger Matthews was "still skeptical" until those feelings turned to sudden sadness. The reality star writes that at the airport, "When I went to the bathroom, I saw blood and panicked. So many thoughts were running through my head." "I felt a loss like no other when I thought that I was no longer pregnant," recalls JWoww. "I whispered it to Roger and for that whole ride we just stared straight ahead and didn't say a word. I went to bed that night in Nashville praying it was just a thing that happens."
Thankfully, after her manager bought her a "stupid proof test" the next day, it said "pregnant" and confirmed JWoww's higest hopes. "I cried and Roger looked like he was going to pass out," writes the MTV personality. JWoww adds, "That day in Nashville I was on cloud nine. I also want to apologize to anyone in Nashville because I was super nauseous and super happy which probably made me look like a crazy person!" The mom-to-be also shared a photo of her still barely-visible, four-month bump (see above and below).

the Box
Outside the Box
Following the acquisition by W2O Group and merger with BrewLife, this next chapter for Pure will be an evolution of the brand – both in look and in practice.
- Pure was inside the box, but now these "talk boxes" symbolize our outside the box thinking and how we are constantly engaged with our clients - exchanging ideas, communicating strategies, and discussing business opportunities.
- The new colors reflect the heritage of BrewLife and the squares pay homage to the original Pure logo - symbolizing the coming together of two entities.

Pure, BrewLife and the origins of W2O with WeissComm all share a common DNA and a desire to foster innovative science and medicine through integrated communications and brand marketing.
Pure is an entrepreneurial organization with a high degree of ownership by everyone for the success of our clients. We don't answer to a holding company or have growth goals or profitability targets. Our team has one objective: deliver results and ensure client happiness. The growth of Pure is proof that if you do great work, the rest will follow.
Our unique business model allows us to provide senior level talent on all the core aspects of the account: strategic planning, writing, key opinion leader development, advocacy relations outreach, video production, social media engagement, media relations and crisis management, supported by a select group of all-star up-and-coming communications professionals. Communications professionals with ten or more years of experience comprise the majority of our team at Pure.
Our core capabilities include:
- Strategic counsel on messaging/positioning
- Media relations
- Social/new media strategies

Social & Digital Media
Social and digital media are of growing relevance in communications, even to life sciences companies without products on the market. Key members of the Pure team are also certified in internet promotion & social media regulatory compliance by the Center for Communication Compliance (CCC), the only all-in-one source for training, certification, and consulting in healthcare regulatory compliance and risk communication. This certification reflects our team's ability to successfully navigate the highly complex healthcare regulatory environment, as well as the ever-growing and ever-changing digital media landscape, to effectively meet the needs of our clients.
Investor Relations
Pure helps our clients build a credible positioning and positive relationships with the Wall Street community to achieve valuations that reflect their teams, assets and future potential.

Successfully Launching and Supporting
Emerging Life Science Leaders
We are uniquely positioned to address the needs of emerging and early stage companies. Pure Communications provides the highest level of service and counsel while sharing the insights and experience we have gained from launching more than 35 life sciences companies over the last nine years. Several members of our team focus their time and experience on the unique needs of seed, newly formed or early stage companies.
While we can help a new company define and implement the best communications strategy for their specific story and communications objectives early on, Pure can also expand the account team as a company evolves to include later-stage focused account team specialists with significant clinical, commercial and investor communications experience to ensure the continued delivery of exceptional results.
The new Pure Communications combines the best talent in the business through both former organizations and the broader W2O network in one firm that leverages decades of media, investor and patient relations experience with cutting edge digital, analytics and creative capabilities.

Sometimes it's nice embellishing a boring weekday by catching up with your family – especially if you haven't seen them in a while and especially if there's food involved. The dinner wasn't super pretentious an I [&h…

A large square Tibetan gau dating back to the nineteenth century. Made of silver... the face is covered with fine filigree in the form of a mandala with a representation of the Tree of Life at the centre. A round turquoise cabochon marks the centre of the Tree of Life and eight coral beads are placed diametrically at the corners. Dimensions:13 x 13cms. Weight:365g.

I think both pieces - yours, Thelma, and yours, Michael - are excellent pieces, and I also find myself quite convinced that the tree of life occurs on both. I must confess, Thelma, that I had not thought of this possibility before, but Michael's comparison with his piece really does draw attention to the likelihood that your piece does contain the symbol as well.
Thanks very much, Michael, for all this excellent information. I agree with Joost about your gau. It is a beautiful piece. And for me it is more ... it is enlightening! I have a similar gau and I had never before made the connection with the bigger one above. That's a bonus! I will now be able to rewrite the record for this one with greater confidence. Many thanks.
Hi Joost,
thank you for your nice comments on the G'au.
This kind of G'au should have a silver back; some other types come (originally only with copper-, brass- or even iron backs. So this a hint to the authenticity of the piece.
That's very good news, Thelma, for the presence of a silver back is certainly not a guaranteed feature!
OK, I've got it. Yes, the whole thing is silver, front and back.
You have posted a very interesting example, Michael! I do agree with you that it - more obviously than Thelma's - does seem to show us a tree. Actually, looking more closely at Thelma's, I see that the straight piece below the turquoise could very well represent a tree-trunk!
Michael, I will go and look for it. I'll be back soon.
Thanks, Michael. That is really very interesting. I've had the gau for about 3 years and have always accepted it as 'with lotus blossom' but it has also worried me a little. The problem has been the shape of the turquoise cabochon at the centre of 'the lotus'. In most of the gaus I've seen, the cabochon marking the centre of the lotus has been tear-shaped but in this particular case it is round. Are you aware of other gaus with 'mandala' faces?
Fine comment, Michael!

My Wish For You
shoes&jeans - ragz dressware, tank - target, blazer - h&m, clutch&headband - f21, bracelets - made by me, sunnies - crush, necklace - sophia&chloe
First off let me tell you that I am the kind of girl who wishes on a shooting star, who believes if you tell your "wish" it might not come true, if you find a eyelash you blow it away and make a wish. Apparently my Hubby is that same kind of person too, I can tell you this because of something he told me last night right before we went to bed. Without getting too into this and too personal, I have had a issue in the past that just seemed it would never go away, and as I was lying there last night I realized that this so called "issue" hasn't bothered me forever so I mentioned it to the Hubby. This is what he said .... "All of my eyelash wishes have been so that you don't have to deal with that issue ever again! That is my wish for you.". WOW, I gets me all teary eyed right now just writing this. I knew there was a darn good reason why I married this man, and everyday I am reminded in some kind of way. What a unselfish man, to wish for me and not for himself. I love him so, words can not explain!

You obviously have a very special man in your life, he sounds so thoughtful and kind! But then again, he married a pretty amazing girl, too :) You look just phenomenal in this post. I adore your pink blazer and your hair is just beyond compare. Maybe you would want to do a tutorial for those of us who are less hairstyling inclined...? :)
CeeLove blazer is great! Newest follower!

Cold-calling is a form of telemarketing. If telemarketing is like the weather, cold-calling is a sunny or cloudy day. You can conduct telemarketing without cold-calling, but if you or your employee make a cold call, it's telemarketing. The distinction lies in whether the person you're telephoning has any reasonable expectation of your call, not necessarily at the time you make it, but at any time at all.
Cold-calling involves contacting a potential customer out of the blue to try to sell him your product or service. The contact does not have to be telephonic. If you ring his doorbell without warning, this is cold-calling as well. You're reaching out to him without any idea whether he's actually interested in what you're offering. You might have gotten his name and number from the telephone directory or from a contact list purchased from a marketing company offering such tools.
Telemarketing is not limited to outgoing contact with potential customers or clients. Customers may call you in response to a sign or advertisement they noticed. Telemarketing can also be something of a "fishing expedition." You might not actively try to sell your product during the call, but instead try to ascertain if the individual you've contacted has any interest in it at all. If so, you might turn his name and contact information over to one of your salespeople so he can make secondary contact and pitch your product. Telemarketing includes following up with a client who previously bought from you, and fact-finding efforts, such as if you're just attempting to ascertain what buyers are looking for in a certain product. It's any marketing technique that occurs over the telephone.
According to Reference For Business, telemarketing is cost-effective. Selling your product or service by telephone costs about 80 percent less than knocking on doors yourself or sending an employee to do so. Telemarketing also allows you to actively generate potential business, rather than pay a salesperson to stand around your establishment, waiting for customers to show up. Unless you pay him strictly on a commission basis, his presence there costs you whether customers come in or not. If you use fliers, signs and media advertising to reach customers, there's no personal interaction. You can't gauge customers' responses unless they call you and mention your ad, or unless your efforts elicit no response at all.
Cold-calling has given telemarketing a bad reputation. The Federal Trade Commission has developed specific rules to govern the field and to prevent unscrupulous cold-call tactics, such as repetitive calling after the individual has asked you not to contact him anymore. If you cold-call someone, or even if you telephone him to follow up on business you've already transacted with him, you might interrupt his meal or his favorite television show. Chances are you'll annoy him and diminish any chance of an eventual sale. You might also waste time and energy reaching out to someone who has absolutely no interest in your product, especially with cold-calling. If you're selling childcare services, that name and number in the phone book might belong to an elderly pensioner with no children.

Michigan pro day notes: Taco Charlton improves 40 time
Taco Charlton disliked his 40 time at the NFL combine, but he improved at Michigan's pro day. He has met with or will meet with several NFL teams.
Taco Charlton disliked his 40 time at the NFL combine, but he improved at Michigan's pro day. He has met with or will meet with several NFL teams.
Former Michigan DE Taco Charlton said he believed he is a Top 15 guy. Has visits set up with Dallas, New Orleans, Tampa Bay and Miami. Met last night with Saints, Steelers, Ravens and Titans.
Michigan DL Ryan Glasgow said he met with the Saints, Ravens and Giants. The Eagles are coming in to meet with him Monday. He will go to local pro day with the Bears and met with Colts today.
Manti Te'o must have a good training camp to become the Saints' defensive leader, as he has to beat out Craig Robertson and A.J. Klein for the role.
Darryl Tapp is an affordable defensive end whose experience and leadership are invaluable to the Saints as they continue to address the pass rush.
Matt Moscona and ESPN's Mike Triplett discuss whether the Saints will take a quarterback in the NFL Draft and the potential impact, and cost, of a trade for Malcolm Butler.
The Saints re-signed veteran defensive end Darryl Tapp to a one-year deal on Thursday.
The Saints have re-signed veteran DE Darryl Tapp, who joined them last year as a rotational pass rusher and had 0.5 sacks, nine quarterback hits and a fumble recovery. The 32-year-old should split time with Alex Okafor and possible additions to come in the draft, while also helping to back up Cameron Jordan.
Sentencing for the man who fatally shot former New Orleans Saints star Will Smith has been delayed.
Saints coach Sean Payton appears to have taken an interest in Johnny Manziel, but there are no indications the team is planning to sign the QB.
New Saints LB Manti Te'o also said there will be a "level of comfort" working with Saints LB coach Mike Nolan again after they worked together with the Chargers. But Te'o said, "he didn't really recruit me at all. New Orleans kind of recruited itself." Te'o will also join several fellow Polynesians on the Saints' roster – including edge rusher Hau'oli Kikaha, who is from the same hometown in Hawaii. Te'o said he has followed Kikaha's career.
New Saints LB Manti Te'o said he'll play "wherever they need me … whatever's going to put me in position to get the running back, quarterback, receiver or whoever has the ball." The Saints are now loaded with middle linebackers with Te'o, newly-signed A.J. Klein, last year's starter Craig Robertson and former first-round pick Stephone Anthony. Te'o did say, however, that it's his goal to emerge as the signal caller from that group – something he has done "since Pop Warner." "I've always been a leader, whether it was inside or outside, I've always been a signal caller," Te'o said. "And it's not just to have on my resume, it's because I'm most comfortable when guys depend on me. To have their trust helps elevate my game. To have that responsibility brings out the best in me, and it's something I'm real comfortable with."
Saints coach Sean Payton and secondary coach Aaron Glenn are among those in attendance at Ohio State's pro day – which should come as no surprise, since the Buckeyes have two defensive backs projected as possible top-10 draft picks (CB Marshon Lattimore and S Malik Hooker). Runner/receiver Curtis Samuel is also an intriguing prospects for the Saints, among other Buckeyes. And the Saints obviously have a good track record when it comes to drafting Ohio State players, including WR Michael Thomas and S Vonn Bell in the second round last year.
The Saints converted a roster bonus for OT Terron Armstead into a signing bonus, a common move teams make so they can spread out the cap hit.
Manti Te'o's two-year deal with the Saints is worth up to $7 million, but it has a lot of playing-time incentives built in, perhaps because of his injury history. His $600,000 signing bonus is the only guarantee. He'll get another $350,000 roster bonus if he is on the roster on May 17, a $50,000 workout bonus, then another $150,000 roster bonus if he is on the 53-man roster for at least one game. His base salary is $850,000, and he gets another $31,250 for every game on the 46-man roster and up to $1 million in unspecified playing-time incentives. Te'o's 2017 salary-cap cost is $1.79 million.
Former Redskins running back Tim Hightower visited Washington today, but no deal is in the works as of now, per a source. Hightower played with the Redskins in 2011, before injuring his knee and missing the next three seasons. He spent the last two years with New Orleans. The Redskins have five running backs under contract. They could add another back in the draft or as an undrafted free agent. The Redskins have used this period to meet with veteran backs before, notably Pierre Thomas two years ago. In much the same way, Hightower likely would be viewed as an insurance option down the road.
The Saints had a private workout with Tennessee quarterback Josh Dobbs this week, according to ESPN's Adam Caplan. As previously reported, the Saints also had a private workout with Texas Tech QB Patrick Mahomes that included coach Sean Payton on Tuesday. They will probably do the same with many of the top QB prospects in this year's draft class. Dobbs (6-3, 216 pounds) is a mid- to late-round prospect, but ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay said recently that he might be the most underrated QB in this year's class.
The Dolphins signed former Saints OT Avery Young, an undrafted rookie last year from Auburn who spent all of training camp and the entire season on the non-football injury list with an undisclosed ailment. The 6-foot-6, 305-pounder could also potentially play guard. He is the brother of Bears outside linebacker Willie Young.
The Titans made an addition to their offensive line depth on Wednesday, signing former New Orleans Saints center/guard Tim Lelito.
The Brees-Rivers "rivalry" has spawned a second generation with the sons of the former teammates competing against each other in the San Diego area.
Free agent RB Tim Hightower is visiting the Redskins on Wednesday, per source – considering a possible reunion after he played there in 2011 before suffering a torn ACL. Hightower, 30, was out of the NFL for three-plus seasons after that because of an undiagnosed infection. But he has made a remarkable recovery with the Saints over the past two years, combining for 923 rushing yards, 329 receiving yards and nine touchdowns as a backup to Mark Ingram. Returning to the Saints is still an option for Hightower, per source. He also visited the 49ers last week and may take one more visit.
Mel Kiper Jr. puts another edge rusher to the Saints in the first round, though Temple's Haason Reddick would seem a better fit as an OLB in a 3-4.
Free agent G/C Tim Lelito is visiting the Titans on Wednesday after arriving on Tuesday, per source (as first reported by the NFL Network). Lelito, who visited the Lions last week, has been a solid and versatile part-time starter for the Saints, starting a total of 24 games at guard and center since being undrafted out of Grand Valley State in 2013. But he hasn't been able to lock down a full-time job yet. It's unclear if he's still in the Saints' plans -- especially after they signed former Lions G Larry Warford on the opening day of free agency.
With three of the top 42 picks, the Saints have the flexibility to draft Drew Brees' successor, and they got a close look at one candidate on Tuesday.
The Saints added former Charger Manti Te'o to their linebacking corps, but where he will line up is a bit of a mystery.

Teesside's Voice of Sport. There'll be blogs, there'll be podcasts and there'll be banter on the messageboards

Toe to Toe With Klitschko
Before the Valuev fight you sensed that Haye's main goal was to make sure he was remembered. And to that end he gobbed off like a schoolboy baiting a caged gorilla. Still he got in there and whittled away at the Russian cliff-face and got a result.
Not so cocky now, eh Dave?
This time there wasn't even the slightest sign of him even chipping a nail on the Ukrainian's chin... which would be fine if he hadn't called Wladimir a 'fucking dickhead' and accused him of yabbering on and saying nothing – a remark which is unsurpassed in the history of exchanges between Mr. Pot and Mr. Kettle.
Now you might say Haye has pepped up a heavyweight division which is as devoid of character as a Steven Gerrard post-match interview. But he seems to leave all his showmanship in the pre-fight build-ups. In the fights themselves he's just another journeyman heavyweight with a big right hand.
Lennox Lewis was apparently comparing Haye to Ali last week. And, laughably, in favourable terms. Clearly the Hayemaker is nowhere near Ali's class in the ring, so maybe Lennox – another somewhat uninteresting man from boxing's recent history unless you dwell on the fact that he still lived with his mum in his 30s – was on about Haye's audacious use of the English language.
Well even here I fear Muhammad Ali is slightly ahead on points. On Saturday night Haye appeared to float like a bee and sting like a butterfly.
Maybe I'm being too hard on Haye – perhaps you have to give him grudging respect for fashioning himself some mighty paychecks from a bit of talent and a lot of bluster.
Nevertheless the broken toe excuse doesn't wash. I'm sure there are pain-killing injections to help with that – and surely getting belted in the face by a 6 foot 8 inch Cossack is going to distract you from a crack in your phalanges.
The point is that Haye offers this as an excuse after the fight. I mean what was he hoping to do, kick his ass? If it hampered him so much then he should've withdrawn but that would've denied a handsome purse. And the pinky pain hardly stopped him from dodging a Klitschko KO from round 4 onwards, did it?
I'm not saying he's Dis-Audley Harrison, but if that was the Fight of the Decade then I suggest we take down all the boxing rings in Europe and go back to a bit of honest to goodness cock-fighting 'til 2021.
In the meantime Wimbledon drew to a close with yours truly getting it right and wrong. I tipped Kvitova to win the ladies and she didn't let me down. Not that I want to watch two strapping lasses from a Nazi Youth propaganda poster knocking nine bells out of each other too often.
At least we were saved from Azarenka v Sharapova which would've been a festival of grunting post-Soviet grunting the like of which hasn't been heard since the outlawing of the Stalingrad Sow Slaughtering Championships in the early nineties.
Kvitova saved her whelps for the odd celebration of a winning point. Not that you expect someone of her dimensions to emit a noise that sounded like she'd sat on a hamster.
The men's final had better moments in it, and was a refreshing change. Djokovic is an extraordinary player. He doesn't seem to possess the most dangerous of weapons: he doesn't have Nadal's whiplash forehand (and I bet you wouldn't want to come up against Rafa in a post-shower towel-flicking contest) or that fluent Fed backhand. The serve's not terrifying either.
But he doesn't have any weaknesses either, not least in his body which appears to be more flexible than a Nick Clegg policy commitment. And he covers the court to such an extent that even the Rafa was reduced to clumping it over the baseline in despair.
I liked the celebration, too – eating the grass was a nice touch. I think he's going to have to smoke some before our Andy Murray can get anywhere near him.
That's not to say that Murray's crap. He's very, very good. It's just that Nadal's a blinking animal. But Djokovic has proved what needs to be done to beat him and Jesus it looks like hard bloody work. Let's hope the Scot is up to it.
Old Rafa is disarmingly nice, isn't he? On court he looks for all the world like a Spanish Popeye, narrowing his eye and bulging his biceps. Off the court he's a pussycat which is in fact the diametric opposite of David Haye's performance in Hamburg on Saturday.
I'm off to see a bit of one-day cricket on Wednesday and I'm hoping and praying that Jonathan Trott isn't batting at number three. The lad doesn't do one-day innings. He likes to spread 'em out over two or three. Why the feck are they picking him?
Meanwhile a Latin American model has promised to strip if Paraguay win the Copa America. Given I listened to a BBC 5Live broadcast that listed the reasons why England's national team is shite (too many foreigners, club v country, media pressure, being a bit too tired, schoolboy centre-halves just hoofing it, being generally a bit crap, etc.) maybe it's time that Capello resorted to these more alternative incentives.
That's a mobile phone in her cleavage by the way. Wonder if it's on vibrate.
Frankly the lass in question, a Senorita Larissa Riquelme, leaves not too much to the imagination, but it must be worth sounding out Rachel Riley just in case.

Well another weekend of entirely forgettable british sporting crapness.
Crapello should use that Paraguayan lass as inspiration by promising the boys that unless they win the Euros next year, hes gonna get that appalling plastic monstrosity Jordan to bang them all.

Damn you H2H, see what youve done? Youve totally undermined my argument by reminding me that our supposed heroes are just a bunch of morally devoid slagshaggers! I thought Jordan was as bad as it gets, but now you say shes a step up there must be much worse than her out there.

A motorcyclist died after crashing during a rally against mandatory helmet laws in America. Police said he would have been saved had he been wearing a helmet.
And they say American's don't do irony... Good article that Spit.
The environment surrounding the club is different when Henry left and now when Fabregas/Nasri might leave.
We had played in CL Finals and there was a belief that we would continue to do well despite Henry's absence. But now such feeling is not their amongst players themselves and most of the fans.
I dont know what the future holds for us this season. I'll be more happy if all the negative press related to suspect transfers and hyped up expectations for the club stops. This way players will feel more relaxed and they can continue to focus solely on the season ahead.- Anonymous5 July 2011 at 12:31
Here's something for you Jack. From the imaginatively-titled Aussie version of Countdown.
As for the Tour, what do you think so far mate? Cadel looking strong in a fairly strong team early on - a lot of expectation this year for him. As I expected, the talent from Saxobank followed the Schlecks across to Leopard Trek, so looks like Contador will have to do it himself if he wants the win. Obviously very early on, will have to wait for the Pyrennes before moves are made. If it's even a quarter as good as last years, then we're in for a great race.
Noel - Anonymous5 July 2011 at 12:34
Just read my last post - I didn't post that link exclusively thinking it'd interest you Jack. Just as it's not anything about the other team in North London.
Noel Cadel looks in good form Noel.I think he's got,for once,a strong team around him as well as BMC showed in the team time trial.I think The Clenbuterol Kid is looking fine as well.He doesn't need much from his team once they hit the heights in the Pyrenees and the Alps.
I'm not so sure about Schlek this year,he has had a quiet season building for this tour.I suspect he knows he has to get a big lead prior to the final time trial as Evans/Wiggins will take a couple of minutes out of him.
I'd love Cadel of Brad to win it,but suspect Contador will be too strong for both of them in the high mountains.If they can attack him in the Massif Centrale that might help.
So I'm going for...
2.Evans (again)
3.ShleckI'm getting real bored with all this transfer speculation bollox. I know it happens every year, but we (Arsenal) are getting absolutly hammered in the press and are looking like a bunch of pricks.
I understand that players may want to leave, for whatever reason, i.e Cesc back home to Barca or plain ol' money, money, money. What pisses me off is when players say they want to leave to win trophies, yet weren't these the same players that in February were in contention to win four competitions? They were the ones that choked, if they wanted to win trophies so desperatly, then surely they should of bothered to play a bit better towards the end of the season. Fucking bottlers.
As for the press, someone within the club really needs to come out and say something, either confirm that certain players will leave or squash the rumours, as I said above, we are looking like pricks and it's a PR nightmare.
At least there's one piece of good news, we have strengthened our defence.......
Good luck to Clichy at Citeh.Porto striker Falcao says he would love to play in the Premier League next season, paving the way for Chelsea to make a £26.5m move.
I never knew the magic words were ' I would love to play in Premier League' or 'I would love to play for barca' or 'who wouldnt love to play in italy?'
therefore, I, Spits, solemnly declare that I would love to play for Monaco and I would also like to be married to Gisele Bündchen and would love to have affairs, random hookups and threesomes with any and all of Camron Diaz, Scarlet Johansson, Olivia wilde, Candice Swanepoel... basically my picks from the FHM, Maxim and AskMen top 100 hottest women of the current year.- Anonymous6 July 2011 at 06:12
Jacks, I don't watch the stages live, unless I want to stay up until 2am, so I just catch the highlight shows each day. When they get into the mountains then I'll stay up and watch it live. Sounds good if Cadel can beat Contador early on when they should both be fresh. Alberto has a bit of a gap to catch up first after that first day crash before he can even start to build a lead, so it all looks good for Cadel. Like you said, hopefully this year. I also like the new rules for green jersey points - seeing Cav win the intermediate sprint yesterday shows he's taking it seriously. Shame he had the points taken away, but shows he's in great form. Also, nice of Thor to offer to take Cav's penalty himself. Considering the previous history of those two in the last few Tours, I thought it was a great gesture.
State of Origin III tonight - the decider. Being built up as the greatest game ever - Darren Lockyer's last Origin, Queensland have the chance to win 6 straight series (which would be a record), but locked at 1-1 and NSW have been the better team all series. Going to be one hell of a game. C'mon the Blues.
Noel - Anonymous6 July 2011 at 09:54
now here is a point not often associated with our prudent club that shall not be named... many overpaid players The problem is NOT that they are overpaid. The ones who deserve are not being paid enough.
yeah, I hate the figures being paid to footballers too but once in a market, you have to pay the going rate.
Cesc Fabregas is paid 98,000 pounds where as Clichy will now get paid 140,000 pounds. Lampard is reportedly at 160,000.
Go Compare.
Now if they were, as a club, winning trophies, there could be another class of players who'd be ready to play for a bit less but seeing how thats not going to happen any time soon, get used to slightly above average if you havent already.my favourite episode of countdown was the one where the schoolboy managed to get lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimupotrimmatosilphioliparomelitoaktakexhumenokichlepikossuphophattoperisteralektruonoptopiphallidokinklopeleioplagoosiraiobaphetragalopterugon, which was a classical greek fish dish
ReplyDeleteA wag from Bury on the Pheeel McNulty blog about Tevez leaving Citeh has this to say about the attractions of "Oop North" to foreign players...
"It always surprises me when northern English teams manage to attract top players because they don't just get to play for the club, they have to live here too. Cheshire may well be full of footballers' mansions but it still rains all the time.
Going back twelve or so years, Middlesbrough were the real surprise, signing the likes of Juninho and Ravanelli. Have you seen the place? Its hideous - even worse than Bolton!"
The question is, never having been there, how accurate is his description of Middlesbrough?jacks, i said my favourite episode of countdown was the one where the schoolgirl managed to get lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimupotrimmatosilphioliparomelitoaktakexhumenokichlepikossuphophattoperisteralektruonoptopiphallidokinklopeleioplagoosiraiobaphetragalopterugon, who was the centre forward for panathanikos in the 2nd century AD
ReplyDeleteNot any more,no.
But with the prevarication of the SFA,WFA and NIFA (They don't believe FIFA will allow them to remain as independent nations after competing as Team GB at 2012,despite FIFA promising that won't be the case.Although having said that,a promise from FIFA is only worth half of nothing) maybe that's all we'll have to chose from for a GB football team (plus Beckham,as anything to increase his brand awareness)spit trouble is this is a market distorted by the bottomless money pots of the billionaires so the going rate is not a fair going rate established by perfect competition and the desireability/popularity of the commodity; wages are wholly diproportionate to players' true value in the market because these plutocrats are on some kind of mad animate panini sticker collecting ego trip, or in roman's case a serial pursuit of young blonde mediterranean underachievers

Spit, my point in posting that article was exactly that, some (poor) players are majorly overpaid which leads to some players being underpaid (silly money but that the reality of todays market),
BeeZee Couldn't agree more Beezee, Ngog on 40k/wk, Diaby on 60k etc. are ridiculous amounts of money. It does come back to bite the club's though, when they want to get rid of these players (City with bridge,wright phillips, Jo, Liverpool with Ngog, Poulsen, Cole etc), they find no takers and are stuck with a huge wage bill that prevents them from making new signings that they need (less so in City's case admittedly as their money pits are bottomless)

....Afghanistan would like its national game, buzkashi, or goat-grabbing, to be an Olympic sport. Regarded as the world's wildest game, it involves riders on horseback competing to grab a goat carcass, and gallop clear of the others to drop it in a chalked circle. It has been played on Afghanistan's northern steppe for centuries. The game used to be the sport of rich rival warlords but is now also financed by Afghan mobile phone companies and private airlines. But it is still not a sport for the faint-hearted, and women should not apply.- Anonymous7 July 2011 at 00:47

Like I said Trott, she's been economical with the truth. By not using any. Our internet is very expensive, but not quite a quid a minute. And it's more to do with our provider being a monopoly so they can charge what they want. American company - Cable & Wireless. And luckily I'm currently in Australia, so my internet is cheap.
My personal favourite was the oil rig worker who said that there's a British sub in the area. Military's across the world spend billions on inventing the most stealthy and invisible submarines possible, but an oil rig can find them with their bog standard radar. Haha.

ReplyDeleteBlog, sensationalism in the media is a worldwide phenomenum and not peculiar to the UK. As you rightly point out, if the public didn't want to know about this trash they wouldn't buy the papers or watch half the stuff that passes for news on the box.
Being a conspiracy theorist of long standing, I view this latest peice of nonsence with a touch of synicism. I do not for one moment condone the tapping or hacking of phones by the media but government bodies have been doing this for years under the guise of national security without much interference, especially since that guy who was dumped in the ocean supposedly flew a couple of planes into the twin towers. It would be pretty naive to think that every phone that has been tapped by a government body has been that of a criminal or some arab suicide bomber.
Anyway, I wish they had hacked into Wenger's phone (sorry Jack), they could have let us know if there was any new signings in the pipeline.Morning Tony,
I think Sky have based themselves this year around Bradley getting a podium in the tour,hence them keeping riders back to limit any time loss for Bradley.Such a shame as his form has been good.These little accidents happen though.It's been noticeable that Cadel Evans and Andy Schlek have been very visible at the front of the peleton to avoid these accidents.
HTC gave the perfect lead out for Cav.They will have buried themselves for him as today is more of a stage for the strong men,Gilbert,Voeckler,Chavanel,and not one for the sprinters.I think that was his thinking Spitfire.Allow a couple of months to go by before launching The Sun on Sunday and call in his favour with Cameron to let News Corps purchase BSkyB.
As far as the News International group is concerned The Sun will still make him plenty of cash.What is noticeable is,Independent and Grauniad apart,the remainder of the press has given this a kid gloves approach.I listened to Piers Moron being interviewed a couple of months back,he was very strong in his condemnation of NOTW,but when asked if this went on at The Mirror his language changed quite a bit "Not aware of" all that old toot.
Also been quite intrigued to read various commentators suggest that it's the public to blame as we want to read about these things.Isn't that a little bit like blaming the pensioners of Hyde for allowing Harold Shipman to treat them?I think you're right thats the intention spitfire (a good beer from shepherds neame) but looks like the bids about to collapse ...this scandal is damaging Cameron politically through his connections with coulson and wade ...James Murdoch 'fit and proper person' obviously not
Murdochs malign influence over British politics is finished.jacks there's little no choice over who your gp is, mines a tosser but I'm stuck with him, ... no one has to buy the news if the world . that's choice. the tabloid press in thus city is unique, it combines a right wing, xeniphobic, homophobic, europhobic vitro - the mail is the worst - with prurient celebrity obsessed little tattle and they've lost the ability to distinguish between Kim kardashian whoever the fuck she is who swims in publicity like a fish in water and normal people who deserve privacy
the public is no better, anyone who bought the NotW and now complains is like a meat eater moaning about abatoirs- Anonymous9 July 2011 at 10:43
Jacks - congrats on the wedding anniversary for next week. 10 years ago I'd just turned 21 and started my electrical apprenticeship (better late than never). Seems like a lifetime ago already.
Bad luck for Bradley yesterday. A genuine top 5 contender, not so sure about a podium though. Crashes seem to be a theme in this year's Tour. Good to see Cadel's arse-chin up at the front of the peleton staying clear of the chaos. Jacks will know the answer to this - why is Frank Schlek not getting much of a mention on this years Tour? I haven't seen much of him after he crashed out early last year, but is he not as strong a rider as his brother? I had the impression last year that Frank was the team leader, and Andy only stepped up after his broseph hit the cobbles?
All this scandal in the British media - you don't get that with the Penguin News (national paper of the Falkland Islands).
Noel I loved the reporters closing remark there Spit, "...the world will be a poorer place without it." I'm not sure if he is talking about the NotW or what he considers to be the end of the free press in England.
My recollections of the NotW, was sneaking it away from the lounge room on a sunday arvo and reading about the sexual deviants... real or imaginary.Afternoon chaps.
Whoa, where to start?
OK, first off, Jacks, it was the town of Oterleek (not to far from where I am) that has the spotty (blood stained, tee hee Blogs) walled cafe in honour of Mr Steven Rooks.
Bloggs, nice rant. I hope none of our sons ever become a mild mannered reporter by day and a rent boy by night. It would surely kill us all.
"Look up in the sky"
"Is it a bird? Is it a plane?"
"No, it's a cock sucking, phone taping, shitbag scum journo"
"Shit, that's my kid, pass me a gun" KAPLOOW.
Totaly agree that the public at large is to blame as they buy that crap, I'm curious to see if the upcomming Sun on Sunday (same shit different smell) will be popular. If it is then, well, they (the public) has only got themselves to blame.
What ever happened to once bitten twice shy?Frank is more of a climber Noel,he doesn't have a decent time trial in him.Andy has been the team leader for a couple of years now,since he showed his potential in the 2008 Tour.Frank was there to help the then team leader Carlos Sastre in the mountains,and is there to do the same for Andy.
In fact Frank has said that his ambition for this year's Tour is for Andy to win it,with himself hopefully in the top 5.
As for Bradley,it is a shame but he made a mistake.Always ride at the front of the peleton to stay out of trouble.
Good looking stage today,should see the GC contenders in action for the first time.BojanglesInOz said...
Blog, sensationalism in the media is a worldwide phenomenum and not peculiar to the UK.
True, but at the same time not completly accurate.
I can assure you that a footballers private life would never be splashed accross the front page of a newspaper here in The NL. Nor would you find pictures of half naked chippys/wags or photo's or reports about no mark celebs getting drunk out of a limo on their way to a swanky nightclub or wherever. Nor would they run stories about a woman who threw a cat into a bin and hound her for the next few weeks, printing everything they can find on all the bad things she'd ever done. Why?
Well, basically because no one over here could really give a toss, it's just not news, nor is it relevant to any of our lives. There are of course magazines that have pics and gossip about those in the spotlight, but these publications are viewed for what they are, just tittle tattle, and not as any kind of journolistic coup.Nice vid Spit.
That Paul McMullen geezer is the epitome of what is wrong with the red top press. He really doesn't think that he's done anything wrong, does he?
Got to admire his bottle though for sitting there and publucily admitting that he's a total toerag.
OK, enough admiration, we've let him have his say, now let's castrate him and burn him at the stake.
Ye haw!!!I was probably over generalising when I said it was a world-wide problem H2. I was being typically anglo saxon by using the world when referring to the anglicised parts. The Oz press is a tamer version of Fleet street.. and from what I have heard the American press is much the same.... my daughter went out with a Canadian and his view of the Canadian press was similar to how you guys view the English press.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that English footballers are unable to articulate their thoughts without sounding thick. I just watched an interview with Johan Djourou who is Sengalese/Swiss. Obviously English for him is very much a second language, possibly even third language, yet his command of the English language is superior to any English footballer I have seen interviewed.
ReplyDeleteforeigners are funny little geezers aren't they, even big foreign women are funny little geezers, just more alluring than the male ones
foreigners aren't like us. they lay eggs and eat garlic and win at football . will the new national footed centre lift this mood of black despair? or will it make us want to kill ourselves ? time will tell who knows I'm still thinking about all them big foreign womenBo Trott H2H one thing I can't stand is emigrants, going over there sleeping with their women in your former British colonies and lowlands retreats and all for what better quality of life. pannencoken big prawns burgers the size of frisbees and endless sunshine and rain and better women hang on, wheres me passport
ReplyDeletemaybe a deal with the devil could revive our national footballing fortunes although we must be careful for, as Stewart lee reminds us in todays observer, Mickey Mouse thought that he could use the occult to clean his floor more quickly, but he soon became the terrified victim of loads of singing brooms
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I'll agree with you on there Blog is the women. I'm not sure if English women are just naturally plain or Aussie women are just naturally stunning. eg this Aussie beauty.

Using CSS3 for transitions in web applications
CSS3 specification includes support for transitions which allows to change properties from one state to another. Classic example of transition in HTML include behavior defined under the 'hover' keyword. However, unlike the behavior observed with 'hover' keyword, CSS3 transitions have a time lapse element.
CSS transitions are used to change styles from one to another.
To use CSS transitions , we need to specify the property for which we want to add an effect, as well as the duration for the effect.
Note that transitions are a presentational effect and only work with animatable CSS properties.
The following chart indicates the CSS properties which are animatable:
Property Name |
Transition type |
background-color |
as color |
background-position |
as repeatable list of simple list of length, percentage, or calc |
border-bottom-color |
as color |
border-bottom-width |
as length |
border-left-color |

vertical-align |
as length |
visibility |
as visibility |
width |
as length, percentage, or calc |
word-spacing |
as length |
z-index |
as integer |
We define a transition using two new CSS properties.
- transition-property
- transition-duration
A typical CSS transition is of the following format
transition-property: propertyname;
transition-duration: duration;
transition-property: color, #(100,100,100);
transition-duration: 2s;
If you want to specify multiple transitions, you need to specify them as comma-separated-values.
transition-property: first_propertyname, second_propertyname, …;
transition-duration: duration_for_first, duration_for_second,…;
In case the number of transition properties and transition duration are not equal, the length of transition-property list determines the number of items in each list examined when starting transitions.
When the number of transition-properties are multiple of items in transition-duration, the duration durations are cycled. In case they are not multiple, they are used until there are a multiple and the remaining values are ignored.
We can also specify 'none' as value for transition-property , which would imply that no properties are transitioned.
We can also specify '0s' as value for transition-duration, which would imply an immediate transition.
There are two additional transition relate properties:
1. transition-timing – which specifies how fast/slow the transitions will occur.
2. transition-delay – which specifies how long to wait to start the transition after transition is initiated.
Here is an example of a simple transition:
input {
transition-property: width;
transition-duration: 1s;
transition-timing-function: linear;
transition-delay: 2s;
Here is a simple HTML page which shows transition in play.
<!DOCTYPE html>
input {
width: 100px;
background: orange;
transition-property: width;
transition-duration: 1s;
transition-timing-function: linear;
transition-delay: 0.5s;
input:hover {
width: 200px;

Hover over the input element above, to see the transition effect.

When we hover over the orange input box, the length of the box changes. This is CSS3 transition in action.
In this article, we saw how to use CSS3 transitions in web pages. I hope you have found this information useful.

Great Frames
Mar 28, 2016 | By Joanna
I ordered these frames in the gold color. They are great quality, especially for the price. My only minor complaint is that I would prefer if they were gold on the sides as well. They are black on the sides and gold in the front. These look great and make my matted botanical prints look very expensive.

This frame was just what I needed to re-frame some old diplomas. They are beautiful! Thanks.....

Great simple, non-fussy silver wood frame. A GREAT bargain for the price. Nice enough frames to hang on your wall - which is what we did with the two we used to frame flower photographs.
