QPR Report Tuesday: Player Departures...QPR Ranked Bottom for Value...Ticket Prices Revealed...FA Cup Final Flashback...Recalling Ugo Ukah

- 2012-2013 Season Ticket Prices

After retaining our Barclays Premier League status last weekend, the Club is pleased to confirm that there will be a price freeze on Season Ticket renewals for the 2012/13 campaign.
In addition, there will once again be FREE Season Tickets for Under-8s when accompanied by a full-paying adult.
R's Chairman Tony Fernandes told www.qpr.co.uk: "When I first joined this fantastic Club in August, I knew our return to the Premier League would be an adventure - but nothing could prepare me for the rollercoaster ride of last season.
"Retaining our top-flight status is only the beginning. Rest assured that as you continue to support QPR, myself, the other owners and the playing and non-playing staff will work tirelessly to ensure it remains a Club you can be proud of.
"Next season promises to be equally as exciting, yet hopefully not as nail-biting - and we want you to be part of it!
"As a thank you for your tremendous support, I am delighted to confirm that Season Ticket renewal prices will be frozen at the revised 2011/12 prices, which will include free tickets for Under-8s.
"Thank you again and I look forward to seeing you at Loftus Road for the new season!"

BBC  - Manchester City 'best value for money' for fans (QPR Placed Bottom!)

Manchester City has won the Premier League title, and is also top of the league of value for fans, according to the ING Direct Value table

The bank chart compares club season ticket costs with Premier League performance and entertainment value and getting the most points for your pound.

ING places QPR, who just avoided relegation, at the bottom of the table.

Wigan, who had a great escape from relegation, are second best value, and West Bromwich Albion third.

Second bottom was Liverpool, whose eighth place finish in the top flight, Carling Cup triumph, and FA Cup final place were not enough to counteract a high season ticket cost and poor scoring record.

And Wolves found themselves in both the official and value relegation zones.

The value league was compiled by comparing season ticket prices with points earned, and with a bonus for goals scored, deemed to affect fans' enjoyment of the game.

Ticket prices frozen
Just under half of fans felt they received good value for money in the 2011-12 season just ended, and as a result are seriously thinking about whether or not to renew their season ticket for the next campaign.

However it seems that clubs are listening to their concerns, with more than half of Premiership teams (12 of the 20) freezing or lowering their season ticket prices this year in an attempt to retain fans.

Relegated Blackburn Rovers has the most disgruntled fans - many of whom have staged protests in the past season against Indian owners Venky's and manager Steve Kean - with more than half of ticket holders (56%) saying they will not renew.

Aston Villa, who just dodged relegation and recently sacked manager Alex McLeish, had a third of fans (31%) saying they planned to cancel their tickets.

Two-thirds of supporters (67%) also say that a wage cap for Premier League footballers would be a positive move.

Arsenal captain Robin Van Persie topped the "best value player" poll, followed by Newcastle United striker Demba Ba and Tottenham's Scott Parker.

The report's compilation was overseen by Dr Steve Kelly from the University of Huddersfield, an expert in sports and club finance and structures. QPR

The Club can confirm that Clint Hill, Akos Buzsaky and Radek Cerny have all been offered new contracts at Loftus Road.

Following the news last week that R's gaffer Mark Hughes has handed Jamie Mackie a contract extension to the summer of 2015, www.qpr.co.uk can now confirm that all three players - whose existing deals are due to expire at the end of June - are in negotiations to stay at Loftus Road.

Meanwhile, Kieron Dyer has signed a new one year contract until the summer of 2013.

Elsewhere, Peter Ramage, Danny Gabbidon, Danny Shittu, Fitz Hall, Gary Borrowdale, Lee Cook, Rowan Vine and Patrick Agyemang will all leave the Club when their contracts expire at the end of June.

The Club would like to thank each and every player for their contribution to QPR during their time here and wish them every success for the future.

The Club will be making further announcements with regards to player movement in due course.

Fans' favourite Lee Cook reserved a special mention for the QPR faithful after hearing that his current contract will not be renewed at Loftus Road.

The Hammersmith-born midfielder was originally signed on loan from Watford in 2002, before then-boss Ian Holloway snapped Cook up on a permanent basis ahead of the 2004/05 campaign.

A move to Fulham followed in 2007 before the 29 year-old returned to W12 just a year later. In total, he made 196 appearances in R's colours, scoring 13 goals.

Speaking exclusively to www.qpr.co.uk, Cook said: "I've had some fantastic years at QPR - especially under Ollie (Ian Holloway). I also had a great season under John Gregory.

"It's a shame to be leaving the Club, but it's in great hands under Tony Fernandes.

"I think QPR will be in the Premier League for many years to come now. There are some exciting tomes ahead for the fans.

"Hopefully they'll see my floating around Loftus Road when I haven't got a game for my future Club!"

He continued: "I got on really well with the fans. I think it helps when they know that you're 'one of them.' I had a couple of good seasons and the fans took to me.

"I also have a lot of family and friends that are QPR supporters and go down there. It's always going to be a Club close to my heart.

"But that's football for you. You move on. Last time I left for Fulham, it wasn't in my hands.

"This time it's completely different. I would have loved to have stayed, but it's just one of those things. I've got to move on now - I just wish QPR all the best."

And Cook's favourite moment from his time at Rangers?

(Winning the Players' and Supporters' Player of the Year in 2007) was probably my favourite memory from my time at QPR," he explained.

"It was a proud moment for me and my family.

"That season started off poorly but when Gregory came in, he gave me a licence.

"To win those awards when the likes of Mark Lazarus and Stan Bowles had played for the Club, it was a big night for the family - I'll always remember that."

Cook spent a large part of last season out on loan at both Leyton Orient and Charlton Athletic.

Now his task is find a Club ahead of the 2012/13 campaign - and the wing wizard added: "I'm still confident that I can play at a decent level.

"I've been training all year and I'm fully fit.

"Hopefully any QPR fans still keeping an eye out will see me playing in the Championship next season."  QPR

Ian Cooper - London 24 - QPR chairman: ‘I want us to be like Manchester United and Arsenal’

Fernandes vows to give manager Hughes the chance to build a new era at Loftus Road

QPR chairman Tony Fernandes wants to emulate Manchester United and Arsenal by giving manager Mark Hughes the chance to take the club into a ‘new era’.

Hughes guided Rangers to Premier League survival on the final day of the season, four months after he was hand-picked by Fernandes as a replacement for Neil Warnock.

Fernandes is determined to bring stability to Loftus Road after years of managerial upheaval, and believes that former Manchester City, Fulham, Blackburn Rovers and Wales boss Hughes is the perfect man to oversee their long-term progress.

And the chairman cited Sir Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger, who have been at their clubs for a combined total of more than 40 years, as the example QPR must follow.

“I feel confident that Mark is potentially the man who could take QPR into another era, a stable era, where we become an established Premier League club,” Fernandes told London24.com.

“Mark is immensely impressive. He’s got a great personality, he’s very ambitious, he’s down to earth, has his ego in check and he knows his stuff. He was a player in the Premier League for a long time so he has competed at the highest levels. Every club he has been to he has excelled at.

“I want to be a club like Arsenal or Manchester United, who have had the same manager for a long time, and West Ham as well, when John Lyall and Ron Greenwood were there.

“Stability is important. You can’t build anything without that. You can’t do things if you don’t have time. I’m not saying we want to be champions tomorrow, Europe or whatever, but I think the next stage is for us to be a club which will remain in the Premier League for a long time.”

Fernandes admitted that sacking Warnock in January after QPR’s run of eight games without a win was a difficult decision, but one which was vindicated by Hughes’s subsequent success.

“I had hoped that Neil was that person,” he added. “It was very painful for me to move Neil out, but I had to do what I did. I had tremendous stick for that but I stood up, and here we are now.”

QPR retained their Premier League status despite a 3-2 defeat at Manchester City on the final day, and Fernandes admitted he cast an envious eye around the home of the new champions.

City’s Etihad Stadium holds just under 48,000, a facility which Fernandes, who has made the construction of a new ground a priority, believes QPR could match in the coming years.

“I don’t think we have quite the resources that they have there, but the size of the stadium, the facilities, there’s no reason why we can’t do something like that,” said Fernandes.

“People might ask how we would fill a 40,000-seater stadium, but I built an airline from a few hundred thousand passengers and now we have £32 million. Build it right, market it right, and people will come. We’re in the best city in the world, in the best part of London.” London24

Now you're cooking

If Green leaves then West Ham, who secured an immediate return to the Premier League with Saturday’s play-off victory over Blackpool, are likely to move for either Blackburn Rovers’ Paul Robinson or Bolton’s Jussi Jaaskelainen, who have both previously worked with manager Sam Allardyce.
Sunderland are also believed to be interested in Green, who is expected to leave Upton Park but will hold fresh talks with the club over a new deal.
QPR manager Mark Hughes has identified Given as one of his key targets this summer with the likelihood being that Paddy Kenny, his current first-choice goalkeeper, will leave to be reunited at Leeds United with former manager Neil Warnock.
The bond between Hughes and Given is also strong with the manager having signed the 36-year-old Republic of Ireland international for Manchester City from Newcastle United in early 2009. Given was one of several City players angered by Hughes’ sacking later that year.
QPR, having narrowly avoided relegation this month, are to undergo a huge rebuilding of the first-team squad this summer. Captain Joey Barton, who faces a lengthy ban for his behaviour in the final Premier League match of the season when he was sent off against City, is likely to be asked to leave the club.

Given signed a five-year contract at Villa, for a fee of £3.5 million, only last summer but with the club uncertain as to who will be the manager next season after a hugely disappointing campaign and with doubts over the ambitions of owner Randy Lerner, QPR are considering making an offer.
Villa are understood to have a four-strong short-list to succeed Alex McLeish, who was sacked after the club only narrowly avoided relegation. It is headed by Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, the coach of Norwegian club Molde, Norwich City’s Paul Lambert, Wigan Athletic’s Roberto Martinez and Villa reserve team coach Kevin MacDonald, who was interviewed last week.
However, there are deep concerns over the scale of investment planned this summer by Lerner while QPR are pushing ahead with a transfer policy to try to establish themselves in the Premier League and are promising Hughes the funds to compete.
A permanent deal for on-loan midfielder Samba Diakaé is being discussed with new deals having been agreed with Kieron Dyer, who has agreed a one-year extension, Jamie Mackie, Clint Hill, Akos Buzsaky and reserve goalkeeper Radek Cerny. QPR have also released eight out-of-contract players: Patrick Agyemang, Gary Borrowdale, Lee Cook, Danny Gabbidon, Fitz Hall, Peter Ramage, Danny Shittu and Rowan Vine.
West Ham are also drawing up their plans for the Premier League and would be interested in re-signing former midfielder Joe Cole — but only if Liverpool hugely subsidise his wages, of at least £90,000 a week, as they have done at Lille. Cole is also attracting interest from big-spending Paris St-Germain.  Telegraph

The Sun Daily (Malaysia)
AirAsia signs RM12.4m shirt sponsor deal with QPR
Posted on 21 May 2012

PETALING JAYA (May 21, 2012): AirAsia Bhd has signed a £2.5 million (RM12.4 million) deal with Queens Park Rangers Football Club (QPR) to sponsor the QPR shirt in the 2012/13 Barclays Premier League (BPL).

The budget airline has been the sponsor for the QPR "Away" shirt for the 2011/2012 BPL season, which expires end of this month.

Under the one-year sponsorship deal signed last Friday, which included an option to extend it for another year, AirAsia has the branding rights through logo placement on the home, away and third QPR shirt, the primary and secondary boards, the interview backdrops, and the stadium access areas and match day advertising together with the use of the name, fame and imagery of QPR for promotional purposes in all media worldwide.

It also has the use of the 'official partner logo' of QPR, which will enable AirAsia to develop a specialised co-branded merchandising sales with the QPR brand.

AirAsia also has the right to exercise the option to sponsor QPR's pre-season tour for an additional amount up to a value of £500,000.

"As football is the top global spectator sport and the BPL having a large following in Asia, AirAsia sees that the association with the sport of football will further elevate its brand," the airline said in a filing with Bursa Malaysia last Friday.

Tan Sri Tony Fernandes and Datuk Kamarudin Meranun collectively own a 75% shareholding in Tune QPR Sdn Bhd, which in turn owns a 66.02% shareholding in QPR Holdings Ltd, parent of the QPR football club. Fernandes is QPR chairman.

In a separate announcement, AirAsia said it had on Friday entered into a Letter of Termination with Malaysia Airlines to formally terminate the proposed warrants exchange and the warrants exchange agreement entered into between the two airlines on Oct 21 last year.

Under a share swap deal between MAS and AirAsia that was recently scrapped, MAS shareholders were to get one AirAsia warrant for every 30 MAS shares they own, while AirAsia shareholders would get one MAS warrant for every 10 AirAsia shares they own. Sun Daily

Soccerex - QPR lands AirAsia extension
Queens Park Rangers (QPR) has celebrated survival in the Barclays Premier League by signing a new contract that sees AirAsia become the club’s official shirt sponsor and main partner.
Having won promotion as victors of the Championship in 2010-11, the London club secured its Premier League safety on the final day of the 2011-12 season. AirAsia had initially announced that the airline would be the away and third kit sponsor of QPR for the 2011-12 season following chief executive Tony Fernandes’ takeover of the club in August. However, the new agreement will see AirAsia’s logo displayed on QPR’s home, away and third shirts for the 2012-13 Premier League season.
“Moving AirAsia onto all three of our playing kits allows them the maximum exposure to the growing worldwide football audience,” said QPR marketing director, Becky Grote. “We have great ambition for the growth of QPR in the Asian market, and AirAsia provide us with the perfect platform to raise awareness of the club in new territories.”  Kathleen Tan, group commercial head of AirAsia, added: “QPR’s achievement of securing their Premier League status mirrors our own hard work and challenges that we went through in making AirAsia the world’s best low cost airline for three years in a row. We’re proud to associate ourselves with QPR, a team with remarkable history in English football, whose unrelenting spirit reflects our own endeavour for success.”  Soccerex

Now we are ready to start.

Speaker 1

I love reading. I read detective and spy stories, novels, and romantic and fantasy stories. If I’m stuck on a train or waiting for something and don’t have anything to read, I feel terrible. So something that I spend a lot of money on would probably be books. I always buy a lot of books, magazines and reader’s digests. And I keep all of them at home – my mum says it’s horrible. Also lots of my money goes on audio books. I always share them with friends. Em … it’s kind of an exchange.

Speaker 2

Oh, you know, shiny things really attract me. Every time I have some extra money, I buy bracelets, rings, earrings or necklaces. I wear them everywhere and every day. If I’m shopping somewhere and there is something flashy shining at me, I usually stop and look and very often a salesperson can talk me into buying it. It’s crazy I know. I also love buying books but I don’t spend so much on them.

Speaker 3

Ah, I spend money mostly on um … going out, like going to restaurants or clubs, and things like that. I am a party person, I love hanging out with friends. I don’t actually buy a lot of things, like electronics, books or CDs. I just spend money on going out with my friends, on food and drinks for parties. I really love chatting, dancing and making jokes.

Speaker 4

Something I probably spend too much on is clothes. I guess because I am a girl, I think of shopping as a fun pastime and I find it relaxing. Actually I call it “shopping therapy” to go and buy some new clothes. I often go alone – I don’t need anyone to advise me. I’d say I love the process of choosing and buying things. It really makes me feel good.

Speaker 5

If I had the money I wanted, I would like to go and spend two weeks at every famous place on Earth. I love traveling in comfort. Nowadays it’s very expensive. I read travel magazines and surf the Internet for information about different tours, hotels and sights – and now I know how I want to travel. That’s what I’d spend my money on if I could.

Speaker 6
I usually don’t spend that much money on anything like jewellery or clothes. But then if there is one big expense, it is food. I like desserts, especially ice cream, so when I go out for dinner I definitely have a dessert afterwards. I can’t live without cakes, candies, chocolates and things like that. Who can?

Receptionist: Well, we can send you an application and you can mail it back to us, or you can fill out the application form that's on our website.

Caller: And are there other materials I would need to send in addition to the application form?

Receptionist: Uh, yes. You would need to send in a sponsorship form indicating who will be responsible financially for the student while studying in our program, and a bank statement showing that you or your sponsor has enough money to cover tuition expenses and living costs.

Caller: And how can I send these materials to you?

Receptionist: You can either send the application packet by regular mail or you can fax it.

Caller: Alright. I think that's about it.

Now we are ready to start.

Int: Today in the studio we are talking to Ben Zephani, an activist and member of the environmental group the Green Belt Movement in Kenya. Welcome Ben.

Ben: Thank you.

Int: Well, you know, people nowadays talk a lot about environmental issues. There is great concern about wildlife and the future of the National Parks in Kenya. What’s happening there?

Ben: One of the most serious environmental problems we are facing today is deforestation, which really affects both wildlife and people living around the forests. People need land for their own purposes, like growing crops and raising cattle. So they come, seize pieces of land, cut down trees and start cultivating the land. So many animals were, kind of, forced away. They had to leave their native habitats and find new hunting areas… That’s not really a nice thing.

Int: And what’s happening to the people who actually live around the forest area?

Ben: You know when you tend to interfere in a wild animal’s habitat you somehow create an imbalance between people and animals. And sometimes it’s not really a nice thing because animals tend to come close to where people live, which is really threatening.

Int: So, do they attack people?

Ben: Not that they really attack settlements but they do come in packs, groups, prides or herds constantly migrating from one place to another because of deforestation. So people are vulnerable at any time.

Int: You mean, if I lived there, I could be chased by an angry rhinoceros or an elephant?

Ben: No, actually they don’t chase people because most of the time they just pass by. But at times you come into contact with an unusual animal. You know animals live in packs, so when one animal is rejected from its pack, it’s an angry animal. It cannot join the other packs so it attacks anything and is extremely dangerous. It should not be disturbed. People can do nothing to help it. Anyone who dares to approach it is almost certainly doomed.

Int: Wow! Sounds horrible! I suppose no one would dare to try to catch these wild animals ... Well, but what actually causes deforestation?

Ben: People burn wood to produce charcoal and sell it, because, as you know, people there have very poor living conditions, and they try hard to earn an extra dime to support their families. Charcoal is in great demand for cooking and other odd jobs, so people don’t even have to travel anywhere to sell it. It’s a good job. But it’s so destructive.

Int: So what’s being done to try and remedy this, or to try and counterbalance the effect?

Ben: There are three or four large activist groups that are coming together to discuss how to reduce damage to the environment. You all know the Nobel Prize winner Wangari Maathai who is a leader of the Green Belt Movement in Kenya. She’s been trying to discourage people from destroying forests for a long time and to explain what deforestation does to the country and the environment in general and how it affects people in the forest areas. She teaches people to adjust to new conditions and environments. She moves with the times. Wangari supports National parks, conservation areas and safari parks in the country. She helps organize small businesses to learn to earn from ecotourism in the forest areas.

Int: Look, I’ve always wanted to go to Africa and I’m just wondering, if that whole safari business ... is really good; if everything you see on the BBC Wildlife channel, you know, documentaries, is true to life.

Ben: It’s not a cliché, but it’s something you have to experience when you get there on safari. The BBC has never lied to their viewers.

Int: Wow! So I could be just out there ... driving around in my car and on my own just seeing all those animals?

Ben: I am afraid they won’t let you drive in your own car. They provide services for you. We have in Kenya an institute called the KWS: the Kenya Wildlife Service and it has its own wardens that are highly trained to protect you when you’re in the forest. You just say where and when you want to go, what places and animals you would like to see. Tours are kind of regulated. For example, you will never be allowed to come close to feeding the animals.

Int: All right.

You have 15 seconds to complete the task. (Pause 15 seconds.)

Now you will hear the text again. (Repeat.)

This is the end of the task. You now have 15 seconds to check your answers.

(Pause 15 seconds.)

А8. There is a growing tendency in Kenya to

1) look for new farm land.

2) explore new hunting areas

3) preserve native animal habitats

А9. According to Ben, people living around the forest area

1) try to domesticate some of the wild animals.

2) do their best to stop deforestation in the area.

3) could be in danger from wild animals.

А10. According to Ben, an excommunicated animal is

1) an animal doomed to extinction.

2) an aggressive and uncontrollable animal.

3) an animal that needs people’s help.

А11. Ben claims that people living around the forest area make extra money

1) catching and selling wild animals to the zoos.

2) travelling to other regions and doing odd jobs.

3) trading wooden products.

А12. The Green Belt Movement in Kenya aims at

1) effective exploitation of natural forests.

2) replacing destroyed forests.

3) moving people out from the forest area.

А13. The interviewer is curious to know if

1) the BBC has ever shown programs about wildlife protection in Kenya.

3) people in Kenya have ever seen any BBC wildlife programs.

А14. Visitors to safari parks in Kenya are allowed to

1) choose their own routes.

2) feed wild animals.

3) drive their own cars.

B2. Установите соответствие между заголовками 1 – 8 и текстами A – G. Занесите свои ответы в таблицу. Используйте каждую букву только один раз. В задании один заголовок лишний.

1) First computers

2) Risky sport

3) Shopping in comfort

4) Difficult task

5) Professional sport

6) Shopping from home

7) New users

8) Digging for the past

A) A group of university students from Brazil have been given the job of discovering and locating all the waterfalls in their country. It is not easy because very often the maps are not detailed. The students have to remain in water for long periods of time. Every day they cover a distance of 35 to 40 kilometers through the jungle, each carrying 40 kilos of equipment.

B) For many years now, mail-order shopping has served the needs of a certain kind of customers. Everything they order from a catalogue is delivered to their door. Now, though, e-mail shopping on the Internet has opened up even more opportunities for this kind of shopping.

C) Another generation of computer fans has arrived. They are neither spotty schoolchildren nor intellectual professors, but pensioners who are learning computing with much enthusiasm. It is particularly interesting for people suffering from arthritis as computers offer a way of writing nice clear letters. Now pensioners have discovered the Internet and at the moment they make up the fastest growing membership.

D) Shopping centres are full of all kinds of stores. They are like small, self-contained towns where you can find everything you want. In a large centre, shoppers can find everything they need without having to go anywhere else. They can leave their cars in the shopping centre car park and buy everything in a covered complex, protected from the heat, cold or rain.

E) Not many people know that, back in the fifties, computers were very big, and also very slow. They took up complete floors of a building, and were less powerful, and much slower than any of today’s compact portable computers. At first, the data they had to process and record was fed in on punched-out paper; later magnetic tape was used, but both systems were completely inconvenient.

F) Potholing is a dull name for a most interesting and adventurous sport. Deep underground, on the tracks of primitive men and strange animals who have adapted to life without light, finding unusual landscapes and underground lakes, the potholer lives an exciting adventure. You mustn’t forget, though, that it can be quite dangerous. Without the proper equipment you can fall, get injured or lost.

G) Substantial remains of an octagonal Roman bath house, probably reused as a Christian baptistry, have been uncovered during a student training excavation near Faversham in Kent. The central cold plunge pool was five metres across, and stood within a structure which also had underfloor heating and hot pools, probably originally under a domed roof.

B3. Прочитайте текст и заполните пропуски1A – F частями предложений, обозначенными цифрами 1 – 7. Одна из частей в списке 1 – 7 – лишняя. Занесите цифру, обозначающую соответствующую часть предложения, в таблицу.

Before the Hubble Space Telescope was launched, scientists thought they knew the universe. They were wrong.

he Hubble Space Telescope has changed many scientists’ view of the universe. The telescope is named after American astronomer Edwin Hubble, A ________________________ .

He established that many galaxies exist and developed the first system for their classifications.

In many ways, Hubble is like any other telescope. It simply gathers light. It is roughly the size of a large school bus. What makes Hubble special is not what it is, B ________________________ .

Hubble was launched in 1990 from the “Discovery” space shuttle and it is about 350 miles above our planet, C ________________________ .

It is far from the glare of city lights, it doesn’t have to look through the air, D______________________.

And what a view it is! Hubble is so powerful it could spot a fly on the moon.

Yet in an average orbit, it uses the same amount of energy as 28 100-watt light bulbs. Hubble pictures require no film. The telescope takes digital images  E________________________ .

Hubble has snapped photos of storms on Saturn and exploding stars. Hubble doesn’t just focus on our solar system. It also peers into our galaxy and beyond. Many Hubble photos show the stars that make up the Milky Way galaxy. A galaxy is a city of stars.

Hubble cannot take pictures of the sun or other very bright objects, because doing so could “fry” the telescope’s instruments, but it can detect infrared and ultra violet light F_______________________ .

Some of the sights of our solar system that Hubble has glimpsed may even change the number of planets in it.

1) which is above Earth’s atmosphere.

2) which are transmitted to scientists on Earth.

3) which is invisible to the human eye.

4) who calculated the speed at which galaxies move.

5) so it has a clear view of space.

The Slob’s Holiday

       My husband and I went to Reno for our holiday last year. “Isn’t that place where people go to get a quickie divorce?” asked my second son? ‘Yes’, I said, trying to look enigmatic and interesting. ‘You are not getting divorced, are you?’ he asked bluntly. ‘No,’ I said, ’we are going to an outdoor pursuit trade fair. The children sighed with relief and slouched away, muttering things like ‘boring’. I call them children, but they are all grown up. My eldest son has started to develop fine lines around his eyes – fledgling crow’s feet. A terrible sight for any parent to see. Anyway, the piece isn’t about children. It’s about holidays.

       The first thing to be said about holidays is that anybody who can afford one should be grateful. The second thing is that planning holidays can be hard work. In our household it starts with somebody muttering, ’I suppose we ought to think about a holiday.’ This remark is usually made in July and is received glumly, as if the person making it has said ‘I suppose we ought to think about the Bolivian balance of payment problems.

       Nothing much happens for a week and then the potential holiday-makers are rounded up and made to consult their diaries. Hospital appointments are taken into consideration, as are important things to do with work. But other highlights on the domestic calendar, such as the cat’s birthday, are swept aside and eventually two weeks are found. The next decision is the most painful: where?

       We travel abroad to work quite a lot but we return tired and weary, so the holiday we are planning is a slob’s holiday: collapse on a sunbed, read a book until the sun goes down, stagger back to hotel room, shower, change into glad rags, eat well, wave good-bye to teenagers, have a last drink on hotel terrace, go to bed and then lie awake and wait for hotel waiters to bring the teenagers from the disco.

       I never want to be guided around another monument, as long as I live. I do not want to be told how many bricks it took to build it. I have a short attention span for such details. I do not want to attend a ‘folk evening’ ever, ever again. The kind where men with their trousers tucked into their socks wave handkerchiefs in the direction of women wearing puff-sleeved blouses, long skirts and headscarves.

       I also want to live dangerously and get brown. I want my doughy English skin change from white sliced to wheat germ. I like the simple pleasure of removing my watch strap and gazing at the patch of virgin skin beneath.

       I don’t want to make new friends – on holidays or in general; I can’t manage the ones I have at home. I do not want to mix with the locals and I have no wish to go into their homes. I do not welcome tourists who come to Leicester into my home. Why should the poor locals in Holidayland be expected to? It’s bad enough that we monopolize their beaches, clog their pavements and spend an hour in a shop choosing a sunhat that costs the equivalent of 75 pence.

       So, the slob’s holiday has several essential requirements: a hotel on a sunny beach, good food, a warm sea, nightlife for the teenagers, a big crowd to get lost in, and the absence of mosquitoes.

       As I write, we are at the planning stage. We have looked through all the holiday brochures, but they are full of references to ‘hospitable locals’, ‘folk nights’, ‘deserted beaches’, and ‘interesting historical sights’. Not our cup of tea, or glass of sangria, at all.

A15. The parents’ choice of holiday destination made the narrator’s children feel

1) jealous.

2) excited.

3) alarmed.

4) indifferent.

A16. The narrator’s words ‘A terrible sight for any parent to see’ refer to

1) the way children behave.

2) the fact that children are aging.

3) the way children change their image.

4) the fact there is a generation gap.

A17. When the need for holiday planning is first announced in the narrator’ family, it

1) is regarded as an important political issue.

2) is met with enthusiasm by all the family.

3) seems like an impossible task.

4) is openly ignored.

A18. To find a two-week slot for a holiday potential holiday-makers have to

1) negotiate the optimum period for travel.

2) cancel prior business appointments.

3) re-schedule individual summer plans.

4) make a list of the things to be taken into account.

A19. The slob’s holiday is the type of holiday for people, who

1) do not want to go on holiday abroad.

2) go on holiday with teenagers.

3) do not like public life.

4) prefer peaceful relaxing holidays.

A20. When the narrator says ‘I also want to live dangerously’, she means

1) getting lost in the crowd.

2) going sightseeing without a guide.

3) choosing herself the parties to go to.

4) lying long hours in the sun on the beach.

A21. The main reason the narrator doesn’t want to mix up with locals is because she

1) doesn’t let tourists to her house at Leicester.

2) doesn’t want to add to their inconveniencies.

3) is afraid to make friends with local people.

4) values her own privacy above all.

He spoke about privacy, state surveillance, and its impact on Canadians at an event in downtown Ottawa sponsored by and, and produced by Bill Owen of Eyestir Communications. If you would like to see more of these kinds of productions, please consider making a donation to / donate

The discussion with Glenn Greenwald was followed by a moderated Q&A by journalist Jesse Brown.

Greenwald is a Pulitizer-prize winning American journalist, lawyer, and author, who is best known for his extensive reporting on the Edward Snowden NSA documents. His reporting exposed how spy agencies like Canada’s CSEC and the U.S. NSA are conducting invasive surveillance of law-abiding citizens on a massive scale. Greenwald has worked with the CBC to reveal how CSEC monitored thousands of innocent Canadian air travellers, spied on Brazil’s mining ministry, and facilitated a large U.S. spying operation on Canadian soil.

A Day To Remember Can Release ‘Common Courtesy’ Without Victory Records Says Judge

After a two-year legal battle with Chicago-based Victory Records, A Day To Remember is free to release their next full length without the involvement of the record label. The Ocala, FL band had been with the label since their 2007 release For Those Who Have Heart.

In an Order issued yesterday (October 4), U.S District Court Judge John Z. Lee denied Victory Records’ Motion for a Preliminary Injunction in which Victory had sought to block the band from releasing this new album without Victory’s involvement.

A Day To Remember expressed their feelings in a statement released last night: “In May of 2011 we joined the long list of bands that have filed suit against Victory Records. Although our case is still ongoing, we are very pleased with the judge’s decision to allow us to release our next record. The only thing that has mattered to us while dealing with this lawsuit was getting new music to our fans. We are finally going to do that on October 8th and we couldn’t be more excited!”

Despite the lawsuit with Victory Records, frontman Jeremy McKinnon blamed the album’s delay on simply having too much material.

“We had so many songs this time around that it was a pretty demanding process, McKinnon explained to Radio.com in February. “To be honest, we ended up working out more than a double album’s worth of material and we’re just trying to trim it down to make it the best it can be, to where it’s an actual concise record.”

The band self-funded the recording process, so the pressures or limitations that accompany a big record deal didn’t affect them. ADTR had also freed themselves of high studio costs by constructing their own facility in McKinnon’s home.

“We make all the decisions,” McKinnon said. “We’ve never had anybody in our career that got too involved with what we put on a record, how many songs or anything like that.”

Common Courtesy, the band’s fifth studio record, will be available Tuesday, October 8 as a digital download only via ADTR.com.

A Day To Remember is currently on the House Party Tour with Pierce The Veil, All Time Low and The Wonder Years.

The moult strategies of birds are not only of importance in their impact on a species' ecology and energetics, but as a valuable tool for anyone studying the migration and population dynamics of bird species. A proper understanding of how feathers are replaced, and the precise differences in appearance of the various feather generations, can allow ringers, scientists and the keen birdwatcher to age first-year and adult birds and to detect the moult strategy of the bird in question. Lukas Jenni and Raffael Winkler have combined these themes and produced a book which will be valuable both to the professional ornithologist and the bird ringer. The first part gives an up to date summary of the moult strategies and moult sequences of European passerines and discusses the ecological consequences of moult. Throughout the book, the authors draw on the enormous amount of data on moult collected by them over 15 years of study which, combined with data from the literature, allow them to present a new synthesis of the subject. The second part of the book is of particular value to ringers. Following a general introduction to ageing, detailed moult profiles are given for 58 species of European passerines representing all the major moult strategies, backed up with useful summary statistics, schematic diagrams of the extent of moult and indications of the variation within each species. For the first time, the extent of partial and suspended moults is presented in detail. The crowning feature of this book is the 480 plus full colour photographs of extended wings which show the entire range of moult patterns and of plumage ageing criteria. An appendix gives supplementary information on ageing birds by the degree of pneumatization of the skull.

Ingredients Jump to Instructions ↓

  1. 100ml cold butter

  2. 200g plain flour

  3. 85g caster sugar

  4. 3 egg yolks

  5. grated zest of a lemon

  6. 50g blanched whole almonds

  7. 50g caster sugar , plus

  8. 2 tbsp

  9. 50g butter

  10. 50g plain flour

  11. 1 large egg and 1 egg yolk

  12. 50g amaretti biscuits , lightly crushed

  13. 5-6 peaches or nectarines depending on their size

  14. 2 tbsp flaked almonds

  15. icing sugar , to dust

Instructions Jump to Ingredients ↑

  1. Dice the butter as small as you can. If you dip your knife in the flour for the pastry and keep covering the butter with flour as you dice, you will find it easier.

  2. Put the diced butter and flour in the food processor and pulse until it looks like fine breadcrumbs. Add a pinch of salt, the sugar, egg yolks and lemon zest and pulse again - it should almost immediately adhere into a ball.Remove from the processor, lay it on a sheet of cling film or foil, and lightly press and shape into a compact log (touch it as little as possible). Wrap and chill for at least 1 hour - the longer it rests, the less it will shrink later.

  3. Butter and flour a 24cm tart tin thoroughly. Unwrap and cut the pastry log into thin even slices and use to cover the bottom and sides of the tin with just touching or slightly overlapping slices. Keep a bowl of ice cubes and some paper towels handy to chill and dry your hands as you work.

  4. Pat the pastry lightly with cold fingers so the base is even, and make the shell a little thicker round the sides, ensuring it reaches all the way up since it may shrink. To even the base, run an ice cube quickly across, from the centre to the edges. Chill again.

  5. Tip the almonds and 50g/2oz sugar into the food processor and whizz until finely chopped. Dice the butter and add to the almonds with the flour. Process again until the mixture resembles fine breadcrumbs, then add the egg and eg yolk and process briefly until soft and creamy. Add the crushed amaretti and briefly whizz again. Chill.

  6. Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4/fan 160C.Drop the peaches into a pan of boiling water, lift out after a few seconds then cool in cold water. Peel, halve and stone the peaches, sprinkle with 2 tbsp sugar and leave for 5 minutes. Spread th amaretti cream in the base of the pastry case. Put the peach halves on top, rounded side up, cutting them if necessa to fill the centre. Scatter with the almonds Bake for 25-35 minutes until golden. Check the filling with a toothpick (which should come out barely flecked) and ensure the pastry is shrinking away from the tin. Dust with icing sugar and serve a room temperature, with a glass of Tuscan Vin Santo.

  7. Try other fruits Why not try strawberries or peaches in early summer, figs or grapes in late summer, pears and new walnuts in the autumn, and apples in winter? If you can, crack open the peach stones to get at the peach kernels inside, then add them to the almonds when you pulse them. They have a delicious bittersweet almond flavour.

Tyler Polumbus and the Redskins offensive line, 2013

The Three Little Pigs: The Redskins 2013 Interior Line Part 1

This post written by Scott Hirsch.

Before we get excited about the Redskins in 2014, it’s important to understand what went wrong in 2013.
By now we are familiar with the Shannahan-agans that went on – ego that rewarded assistant coaching jobs for ‘yes men’ (actually ball boys), the most predictable offense in the league, etc.
One of the more interesting facts that came out was that they were counting on Josh LeRibeus to take over center from Monty- Will Montgomery (aka Monty Python’s Flying Circus to the defenders that easily tossed him to the side in blitzes up the middle all season).
The fact that LeRibeus had problems with letting himself get out of shape and gain 70 pounds in college apparently didn’t enter the coaching staff’s thinking process.  As a result, LeRibeus’ penchant for slacking off and feasting ended his chance to replace Monty.  Every defensive coordinator that studied the tape saw the glaring weakness and sent blitzes up the middle.  The result was a 3-13 season and literally, the buffet that broke the camel’s back amongst all the other Redskins ailments.
The problem is the offensive line coach behind this disaster, Chris Foerster, is still the offensive line coach today on the Redskins.  Foerster may be a good coach and yet another victim of Shanahan’s controlling oversight (that’s the line for all the coaches that have survived the purge) but there are other eyebrow raisers here.
#1 is that Foerster could only hold down a multi-year NFL job on just two NFL teams in his 26 year coaching history – the Redskins and the mighty Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Some of the ridiculous contracts for the Redskins subpar offensive linemen are suspect at best.
Foerster obviously had strong input to draft and groom LeRibeus (3rd round?????!!!!!!), Gettis, and Compton.  If in their 3rd year, none of those turn out to be starters, that’s a tremendous black mark on his resume.  I’m not even going back to the idiotic trade to the Saints for Jammal ‘no hip’ Brown and his outlandish contract and other earlier disasters.
Now we have the new guard Lauvao that was signed to eyebrow raising $$$ amount even though he was ranked one of the worst guards in the NFL.  We have seen this story before – bad offensive lineman with overly priced contracts.
I’m not sure what will take place in this draft, but the Redskins desperately need a starting Right Tackle and more improvements on the offensive line.  If this season is a bust, my hunch is that it will be on Foerster’s shoulders.
