Rooney leaves Reds
Bruce Talbot
Midfielder's contract is terminated so he can join MLS club
The club can confirm that midfielder Luke Rooney has today left the club, his contract, which ran until the end of the season, having been terminated my mutual consent.
Luke is heading to Major League Soccer to play for Arizona United, having had a successful two-week trial with the club last month.
Luke said: "I am very grateful to manager Mark Yates and the club for allowing me to take up this opportunity. And I would like to apologise to the manager and players for the mix-up in communication about me being allowed to travel and train to Arizona.
"I wish the players, manager and club all the very best in the future.
I enjoyed my time at Crawley but I'm really looking forward to this new, totally different and exciting chapter in my career with Arizona United."
Luke played 26 games for the club, having joined at the start of the season. He played on loan for the club earlier in his career while at Swindon Town.
The club wishes Luke all the best for his future career.


One of my lovely scrapbooking friends is getting married this month and to celebrate Mum and I travelled to Uralla on Sunday for a little scrapbooking shower with friends.
It was a lovely day and even though I did absolutely no scrapbooking it was fabulous to catch up.
I was still in a pink, black and white mood after this layout (and it won the Stamp-A-Memory Challenge..I was very excited lol).
Anyway back to the card, I have used Sale-a-bration set "Vintage Labels" together with the Mr & Mrs from "Occasional Greetings" and the damask stamp from "Friends 24-7".
The large black scallop oval is actually a diecut I "borrowed" from my Mum's stash but it fitted the wide oval punch so perfectly...obviously it was meant to be.
Here is Dannii and her gorgeous bub Cooper. Aren't the veil and bling divine.
Danni sure knows how to dress for the occasion.
Wishing you all the best for a fabulous wedding day Dannii and a lifetime of love and laughter with your man and your gorgeous little bub.
Can't wait for another Scrapbooking day otherwise I will be waiting to see all the girls in August at this fabulous event.
I was checking the SPCC blog this morning for the new colour challenge and noticed that my soccer layout made the Top 5. I thought that was prety cool. Love those cute photos of Ben playing soccer.
Thanks for visiting and thanks to everyone who has left comments for me. I absolutely love reading them and it has really made my week.


it is art, it is caring for and protecting Wild Salmon and waters in keeping in living in harmony with Nature, it is the Rainbow Tribe working together with FN, it is renewing our kinship ties all along the way, it is creating awareness amongst the youth in schools, it is problem-solving, it is Spiritual, it brings the generations together, it brings everyone who works with Wild salmon together, it is ancestral and contemporary at the same time, it raises the vibrations for the protection of Wild salmon and waters through drumming and signing, it brings us all together in the telling of the stories of our water people, it brings communities together from the Salish Sea to the Spawning grounds of the Sockeye Salmon. It is a Movement, it comes from the heart, it is a celebration, it is feasts, it is sharing, it is Family. IT IS SACRED!

Film Review: Crimson Peak
Posted on: October 17th, 2015 byEd Whitfield
The Kids Aren't Alright
Crimson Peak may be the most lavish and sumptuous adaptation of the best Victorian gothic horror novel never written. Early on in Guillermo del Toro's feast of vivid (and narratively ordained) colours and ornate production design, a great compendium of stuff in the best traditions of Victoriana – the antique, impractical and uncanny – Mia Wasikowska's would-be novelist alludes to Mary Shelley. But if that's supposed to be a marker for what follows, the cue's too modest. In the crimson vats that line the basement of Allerdale Hall, we can imagine a ghastly puree of Charlotte Brontë, Du Maurier, Bram Stoker and Wilkie Collins. In a movie where the sets fester and the air's alive with particulates, it's not such a leap to imagine those authors' secretions; they permeate the story and shape its narrative.
The danger for a movie like this is that it struggles to be more than the sum of its many influences. Any story set in a highly stylised and part-expressionistic 1901 will be informed by the present and the totality of every riff on 19th century sensationalism ever put on screen. Wasikowska's Jane Eyre-like heroine, a shoe-in for picking the wrong man and making the cardinal mistake of following him to his country pile of secrets, is named Cushing. That's about as big a hint as they come that what ensues is going to flirt with schlock as well as literary impressionism.
Fortunately, Del Toro's too shrewd to trade on modern horror clichés. Instead, and gratifyingly, Crimson Peak remains focused on its doomed love story; a very old fashioned vehicle for marital suspense and buried horrors, in the Rebecca tradition. Recent del Toro flicks have privileged the aesthetic and junked plot, but Peak's literary underpinning provides a foundation much stronger than those propping up Jessica Chastain and Tom Hiddleston's family home. For a while it feels like the marriage of ghost story and Bildungsroman – the latter partnered with mystery, isn't quite working. The elements feel disparate. But Peak rewards patience. When del Toro finally pleats his threads, the result is a revelation as deranged and deviant as anything in Brontë's imagination.
Unsurprisingly, given its gothic horror pedigree, Crimson Peak often recalls Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula – a film that took the same joy in ostentatiously flaunting its mock-Victorian credentials. But whereas Coppola insisted on in-camera effects and pre-digital composites, in a bid to tether the production's methodology to the analogue era of filmmaking it birthed, del Toro's flick brings CGI into the equation. Inevitable perhaps, but it's also often conspicuous. Pixels feel intrusive in this world. They're just another tool for telling the story, del Toro would argue, but if Peak's a triptych made from superb costume design, tremendous setcraft and computer animation, the latter's the weakest of the three.
Still, when a movie flatters the eye like Crimson Peak, and can boast a compelling, if insane central mystery, then it's easy to forgive the flaws. There's enough substance and intrigue here to compliment Guillermo del Toro's plumb aesthetic. Fans of its constituent novels will flock to see it, but they'll stay for the cinema – as rich and opulent as anything you'll see this year.

Age is now widely accepted as the greatest single risk factor for developing cancer, and cancer is considered primarily as a disease of the elderly. Furthermore, a characteristic of aging is the progressive deterioration of immune function known as immunosenescence. In addition to the increased risk of occurrence of cancer among older patients, they are more predisposed to poor outcomes after definitive treatment. Therapies, outcomes and mortality are often influenced by age and elderly must have a specific and a multidisciplinary approach. It is obvious to consider that one should not consider "age" as the only risk factor, but the condition that this determines to the organism, like the presence of co-morbidities and the consequent poor response to treatment. Cancer occurs frequently in association of one or more other chronic diseases, that affect the efficacy of various treatment interventions.
Because of the potential morbidity associated with surgery, the use of mini-invasive techniques have expanded considerably. Aging should not be viewed as a difficulty to definitive therapeutic option. For these reason, it should be correct to value the physiologic capabilities of each organ system and all co-morbidities in the elderly, in order to face possible risks of treatment or improbable benefits.
This review takes a look to the tumor biology and to the morbidity of cancer treatment in elderly patients affected by genito-urological cancer like prostate, bladder and renal cancer.

2016 Rio Olympics
Rapinoe doesn't expect to play in US' Olympic opener

Megan Rapinoe says she doesn't expect to be ready for the opening match of the Rio 2016 Olympics on August 3 against New Zealand.
The United States women's national team midfielder hasn't played a competitive match since Oct. 25 after tearing the ACL in her right knee on Dec. 4. But earlier this month she was named to Jill Ellis' 18-player roster for the Olympics after returning to full-contact training — only to be set back by a pulled calf.
So Rapinoe isn't expecting to play in the United States' opening match next week.
"No, I don't think that's my expectation," Rapinoe told Goal.com. "Looking maybe toward the end of the group stage and then looking into the knockout stage would be more of a realistic time for me, and I think [Ellis] feels the same way."
The news isn't anything especially new — Ellis spoke about "building" Rapinoe's minutes, much like she eased Alex Morgan, then dealing with a more minor knee injury, into the 2015 World Cup — but it is concerning for U.S. fans to hear. The Olympic roster features only 18 players as opposed to 23 at the World Cup, increasing the necessity for coaches to use their entire benches.

Obama to travel to Dallas, cut European trip short: WH
WARSAW: US President Barack Obama will cut short a trip to Europe and travel to Dallas next week in the wake of the deadly ambush in the city that left five police dead, the White House has said.
"The president has accepted an invitation from Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings to travel to Dallas early next week," spokesman Josh Earnest said in a statement yesterday, adding that Obama would return to the United States tomorrow night -- one day ahead of schedule.
Obama, who was in Warsaw this week attending a NATO summit, weighed in on the attacks from the Polish capital, calling the episode "vicious, calculated and despicable."
Micah Johnson, the 25-year-old black Army veteran who carried out the sniper-style attack, killed five police while wounding seven more, as well as injuring two civilians.
Before being killed by police, he told officers he wanted to kill white cops in retaliation for the harsh treatment of blacks by law enforcement.
Earlier in the week, two black men were killed by officers in other US cities, drawing protests across the nation.
After travelling to Dallas, Earnest said Obama will "continue the work to bring people together to support our police officers and communities and find common ground by discussing policy ideas for addressing the persistent racial disparities in our criminal justice system."
According to the White House, Obama will depart for Madrid today. Tomorrow he will meet with his Spanish counterpart before speaking to US military personnel serving at the naval base of Rota.
He is trimming a visit to Seville off his travel itinerary to arrive back in Washington tomorrow night.

Das Führerhauptquartier Bärenhöhle war eine durch die Organisation Todt errichtete Bunkeranlage, die während des Zweiten Weltkriegs in der Nähe von Smolensk in der Sowjetunion gebaut wurde.

Sie besteht aus einem noch heute sichtbaren 43 Quadratmeter großen würfelartigen Überbau. Die unterirdischen Dimensionen sind bis heute nicht erforscht. Die Bunkeranlage liegt in einem Waldstück rund einen Kilometer vom Ort Gnjosdowo entfernt an der Straße von Smolensk nach Katyn. Neben der Bunkeranlage ist noch der Bahndamm des ehemaligen Sondergleises sichtbar.

Die Anlage wurde von Hitler nie als Führerhauptquartier genutzt. Die einzig bekannte Nutzung ist als Ausweichhauptquartier der Heeresgruppe Mitte. Am 25. September 1943 wurde das Bauwerk im Zuge des Rückzuges der deutschen Wehrmacht hinter die Panther-Stellung aufgegeben.

a) Good thing the school levy passed!
b) It's true what they say: Ashland really is "someplace 'special'"
Or come up with your own!
What does excellent (or "excellentt") mean in context? Was this a state designation of the ranking of that school? Standards are so low for public education across the state, we could be grateful for the slight mispelling; at least we can tell what was intended.
I was at a meeting about public education last week. It was educational, although nothing in it was unexpected news. For example, Ohio has what are called OGT's: Ohio Graduation Tests. Everyone must pass the test to graduate from high school. However, statewide, 42% of Ohio high school graduates entering college must take remedial classes in either math or English.
That's appalling. At least locally we must be better, said one person from the auduence. Our local high school has an excellent state ranking. Well, actually, 43% of our high school graduates need remediation. "At least we are in the ballpark." said the speaker. It is one heck of a ballpark. What is excellence in education for our state?
My caption for your photo? Abandon hope all ye who enter here.
Blushing for my own misspellings. I forgot to read that through before posting.
When my children were in elementary school (many years ago) my wife wanted them to go to private school. I, having has a superb education in public schools, demurred. The teacher sent home a note that said that my son was boisterous and disruptive. I said: Yep, that's my boy. But she misspelled both boisterous and disruptive. Private school it was.
d). Why I home school my son.
In the stupid state, California, over 49% of high school graduates entering JUNIOR college must take remedial classes.
My daughter wrote me a nice note thanking me for chaperoning a field trip taken by her class to the county fair. It was well written and, uncharacteristically, there were no spelling errors. It w accompanied by a note from her English teacher asking me to "bare with" her because she had not had the time to proofread or correct the notes from the children. All I could think was, "Thank goodness!"
I mean, I barely know the woman and, anyway, I'm not that kind of girl.
Julie, how wonderfully funny and ironic!
D. Huh. Looks like cowgirl's been here.
Happy Thanksgiving Scanlon. Taking time off from OWS I see!! Good for you. You need some rest.
one of the biggest tragedies of our youth today is the unearned self-esteem foisted upon them by teacher, parents or society.
Everyone agrees the United States needs to improve its education system dramatically, but how? One of the hottest trends in education reform lately is looking at the stunning success of the West's reigning education superpower, Finland. Trouble is, when it comes to the lessons that Finnish schools have to offer, most of the discussion seems to be missing the point.
The small Nordic country of Finland used to be known -- if it was known for anything at all -- as the home of Nokia, the mobile phone giant. But lately Finland has been attracting attention on global surveys of quality of life -- Newsweek ranked it number one last year -- and Finland's national education system has been receiving particular praise, because in recent years Finnish students have been turning in some of the highest test scores in the world.
Finland's schools owe their newfound fame primarily to one study: the PISA survey, conducted every three years by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The survey compares 15-year-olds in different countries in reading, math, and science. Finland has ranked at or near the top in all three competencies on every survey since 2000, neck and neck with superachievers such as South Korea and Singapore. In the most recent survey in 2009 Finland slipped slightly, with students in Shanghai, China, taking the best scores, but the Finns are still near the very top. Throughout the same period, the PISA performance of the United States has been middling, at best.
Compared with the stereotype of the East Asian model -- long hours of exhaustive cramming and rote memorization -- Finland's success is especially intriguing because Finnish schools assign less homework and engage children in more creative play.
During the afternoon that Sahlberg spent at the Dwight School, a photographer from the New York Times jockeyed for position with Dan Rather's TV crew as Sahlberg participated in a roundtable chat with students. The subsequent article in the Times about the event would focus on Finland as an "intriguing school-reform model."
Yet one of the most significant things Sahlberg said passed practically unnoticed. "Oh," he mentioned at one point, "and there are no private schools in Finland."
This notion may seem difficult for an American to digest, but it's true. Only a small number of independent schools exist in Finland, and even they are all publicly financed. None is allowed to charge tuition fees. There are no private universities, either. This means that practically every person in Finland attends public school, whether for pre-K or a Ph.D.

You should start by looking at the reputation of the experts. It should be stated that there are companies that have been consistent in delivering outstanding services. It should be stated that there are companies that have nothing to show up. You should thus make sure that you have some feedback from other people. It should be stated that there are websites for this analysis. At the end of the day, you should be able to pick a team that will deliver on the job.

Here, there is no doubt that the experts have worked with other clients. Furthermore, you should note that there is assurance of securing professional services. If possible, you should make sure that the company has been in this field for more than ten years.
It is also prudent to look at the destinations that are served by the flower delivery company. Not all companies have access to all countries and cities. This exposes you to the risk of getting stranded. You should note that the internet can be of help to you here. It should be stated that there is a need to get reliable flower delivery services. It should be stated that there are worthwhile services.

Once you have made this decision you will be able to get the best services.
Last but not least, you are anticipated to check out the customer services provided by the company. You should note that the information in this field can be overwhelmed. You should note that things may not go easy if you are left alone. This calls for exemplary customer support.

Canine Pancreatitis
What is pancreatitis?
The pancreas is a vital organ which lies on the right side of the abdomen. It has two functions:
To produce digestive enzymes to assist in food digestion
To produce hormones such as insulin
When the pancreas becomes inflamed, the disorder is called pancreatitis. It is a disease process that is seen commonly in the dog. There is no age, sex, or breed predisposition.
There are two main forms of acute or sudden onset pancreatitis: 1) the mild, edematous form and 2) the more severe, hemorrhagic form. A few dogs that recover from an acute episode of pancreatitis may continue to have recurrent bouts of the = disease, which is then called chronic, relapsing pancreatitis. The associated inflammation allows digestive enzymes to spill into the abdominal cavity resulting in secondary damage to the liver, bile ducts, gall bladder, and intestines.
What causes pancreatitis?
The cause of pancreatitis is not known; however, there may be several contributory factors. It is often associated with eating a rich, fatty meal. In some cases, it may be associated with the administration of corticosteroids; however, some dogs with pancreatitis do not have exposure to either.
Under normal conditions, digestive enzymes produced by the pancreas are activated when they reach the small intestine. In pancreatitis, these enzymes are activated prematurely in the pancreas instead of in the small intestine. This results in digestion of the pancreas itself. The clinical signs of pancreatitis are often variable, and the intensity of the disease will depend on the quantity of enzymes that are prematurely activated.
What are the clinical signs of pancreatitis?
The diagnosis of pancreatitis is normally based on three criteria: clinical signs, laboratory tests, and the results of radiographs (x-rays) and/or ultrasound examination. The disease is typically manifested by nausea, vomiting, fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. If the attack is severe, acute shock, depression, and death may occur.
Laboratory tests usually reveal an elevated white blood cell count; however, an elevated white blood cell count may also be caused by many other diseases besides pancreatitis. The elevation of pancreatic enzymes in the blood is probably the most helpful criteria in detecting pancreatic disease, but some dogs with pancreatitis will have normal enzyme levels. Radiographs and ultrasound studies may show an area of inflammation in the location of the pancreas. Unfortunately, many dogs with pancreatitis will elude detection with any of these tests. Consequently, the diagnosis of pancreatitis may be tentative in some cases and based solely on clinical signs and medical history.
How is pancreatitis treated?
The successful management of pancreatitis will depend on early diagnosis and prompt medical therapy. The mild form of the disease is best treated by resting the pancreas from its role in digestion. The only way to "turn off" the pancreas is to withhold all oral fluids and food. This approach is accompanied by intravenous fluids to maintain normal fluid and electrolyte balance. Most dogs with pancreatitis are hospitalized for two to four days while intravenous fluids are administered and food is gradually re-introduced. The presence of systemic shock necessitates the immediate and aggressive use of intravenous fluids and shock medications. Analgesics are administered due to the intense pain pancreatitis often causes.
Will my dog recover?
The prognosis depends on the extent of the disease when presented and a favorable response to initial therapy. Dogs that present with shock and depression have a very guarded prognosis. Most of the mild forms of pancreatitis have a good prognosis.
Will there be any long-term problems?
There are three possible long-term complications that may follow severe or repeated pancreatitis. If a significant number of cells that produce digestive enzymes are destroyed, a lack of proper food digestion may follow. This is known as exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) and can be treated with daily administration of enzyme replacement. If a significant number of cells that produce insulin are destroyed, diabetes mellitus can result. In rare cases, adhesions between the abdominal organs may occur as a consequence of pancreatitis. However, most dogs recover with no long-term effects.
Our highly skilled and experienced veterinarians are committed to providing quality and compassionate care for your animals.
Is your horse's vaccination up to date?
No horse owner can afford to ignore the perils of infectious diseases. Regular vaccinations should be an essential part of every pet's healthcare program. Prevention is always better than cure.

Our typical investment process involves tackling the previous two bodies of work — mapping the experience and charting a course — so we understand the marketplace and its goals for the seed phase. With those pieces done, the round closed, and money in the bank, it's now time to get building!
But the chicken and egg problem can make the choice of where to start a challenge. There are some good pieces out there about this (see for example, here, here, and here); our view is that people will only shift their behavior to try your platform if it is more convenient and cheaper than the status quo. So let's examine those two concepts as levers for jumpstarting growth, and then the role of balancing the marketplace as a strategy for carrying growth forward.
Convenience & friction
One of our favorite marketplace stories comes from the launch of Urbansitter. It started at a time when mobile payments were still a pain, which they used as a wedge into the market. Imagine how annoying it used to be to have to stop at an ATM to take out the cash to pay a babysitter before coming home. Simply offering a way to pay with a credit card was enough of an improvement in convenience to compel people to give it a shot. They then used that early adoption to begin growing their communities of parents and sitters.
Uber's launch followed a similar storyline of improving convenience. Back then, the experience of booking a taxi in San Francisco was awful. You would call all four taxi companies in hopes one might show up. You had no way of knowing when, or even if, they would arrive. The routes drivers chose often felt like a scam. And despite having credit card machines, drivers usually either insisted they didn't work or would try to shame you into using cash. In a simple mobile app, Uber offered solutions to all of these pain points; unsurprisingly, demand growth exploded as a result.
In economic terms, what we're describing is friction. Friction in the status quo is your wedge into the market. An added benefit of constructing the experience map is it serves as a blueprint for where to find the wedge. Seek out the strongest point of friction for supply or demand and begin building from there.
Pricing & subsidies
An alternative approach to cracking the chicken and egg problem is to find a way of reducing prices. If you can make an experience cheaper than the alternatives, you have a wedge.
Here, Airbnb is a good case study. Too few stories of its founding consider the role of the 2008 recession. Behind the airbeds and hipsters and Obama O's was a severe recession affecting nearly everyone on the planet. Travelers were suddenly much more price conscious, so they became open to the idea of booking a room in someone else's home if they could do so at a fraction of the cost of a hotel. On the host side, people were desperate to pay their bills and hold onto their mortgages. The benefits of a new income stream outweighed the fears of a stranger staying in their home.
In Airbnb's case, the economics worked out on both sides of the market, translating to intense early adoption. But this is rarely possible. More often, there's an opportunity to compete on one side of the market, which can be used as leverage for attracting the other side once you've generated some traction. In the meantime, however, subsidies can serve as a growth shortcut. To this day, Uber and Lyft subsidize prices for riders in hopes of winning market share, while squeezing drivers to shore-up revenue. Airbnb's fee structure was set with the opposite subsidy structure — fees for hosts were significantly lower than those for guests because it was harder to convince hosts to sign up.
Using revenue from one side of the market to subsidize adoption by the other is therefore a useful short-term strategy, but in the long run can be dangerous. If demand is relatively elastic, users may rebel against future price increases. This is a slippery slope toward the business developing a permanent addiction to venture funding. Our view is that subsidies are a powerful tool that can be used judiciously, as long as there's a clear plan for recovering unit economics or building value in the not too distant future.
Build & balance
With your wedge into the market identified, it should be clear what to solve for in v1 of your product. This is one of the few moments in a marketplace's existence where the path is as straightforward as any other tech company. There are many great resources for how to get people to love you on one side of the market — see for example, Rahul Vohra's PMF framework.
But a one-sided marketplace is a service. To become a true two-sided marketplace, you have to walk back through the process of identifying a source of friction, developing a hypothesis for a cheaper/more convenient alternative, and building a service that attracts an early cohort of adopters on the other side of the market.
While the software of the platform can attract early adopters, the true product of the marketplace is the people. We love this about marketplaces, but it's also what makes them so hard to get going. These two services you've constructed may resolve the needs of supply and demand effectively, but the marketplace only works if those needs are symmetrical. In other words, the true product of the supply side of the marketplace is demand, and vice versa.
This is both a challenge and an opportunity. At Airbnb I built the company's first growth model and it was dead simple. The philosophy behind it was to let supply and demand tell us what they want more of, and then go find it. If a guest searched for a trip in Paris and didn't wind up booking, we had a supply growth opportunity in Paris. If a host's place in Tokyo went a month without a booking, we had an opportunity to grow demand. Through this lens, network effects naturally took root because the community guided our growth, market by market. By winning Paris, we became more likely to win smaller French cities like Lyon. From Lyon, we could move into even smaller towns on the French riviera. But the point is that no one ever said they loved Airbnb because of its website; they loved it because of the people they encountered on the other side of the transaction.
In some future post, we'll dig into the factors that take product market fit to the next level. As a marketplace grows, technology and data become ever stronger levers. With enough breadth of supply and demand, matching and personalization become the key to winning. And while we have both an interest and deep experience in solving those problems, our swim lane remains the seed stage. We love the challenge of bootstrapping new marketplace platforms and the process of iteration toward product market fit. We hope the frameworks we've shared in these posts are as useful for you as we've found them to be in our portfolio.
