Championship Betting Review

Runaway leaders Reading suffered their first League defeat in 33 games at the hands of Luton on Friday night. The in-form Kevin Doyle put the 9/10 Royals ahead but were stunned with two goals from Rowan Vine and one from Dean Morgan. Doyle pulled one back for Reading in stoppage time but Luton had done enough to earn an unlikely win at odds of 14/5.

Sheffield United took advantage and cut Readings lead to nine points with a derby victory away at city rivals Wednesday. Michael Tonge and Ade Akinbiyi netted for the Blades before half-time before the Owls hit back 10 minutes from time with a Steve MacLean penalty. The 5/4 win for Neil Warnocks side was Uniteds first double over Wednesday for 14 years.

Watford climbed above Leeds to claim third place in the table after beating second-from-bottom Brighton at the Withdean Stadium. The Hornets withstood early pressure from the home side but secured a narrow 1-0 victory at 11/10 thanks to a Chris Eagles goal on the stroke of half-time.

Leeds were held to a draw at Leicester, despite the home side playing 79 minutes with just 10 men. Iain Hume put the Foxes in front after five minutes before Patrick McCarthy was sent off for a foul on Rob Hulse, which led to Robbie Blake equalising from the resulting penalty.

With Preston North End not playing, Cardiff made up ground and are now just three points away from a play-off place. The 4/5 Bluebirds beat Hull 1-0 thanks to Cameron Jeromes goal after 22 minutes.

Wolves also remain in the play-off hunt after a narrow 1-0 win against Ipswich. Castro Sito felled Jeremie Aliadiere in the box 16 minutes from time and Kenny Miller dispatched the penalty for 11/10 Wolves.

Millwall striker Ben May struck an 89th minute equaliser to earn his side a crucial point against Crystal Palace. Ben Watson looked set to give the Eagles a routine win at 11/10 with his goal after 67 minutes only for May to snatch the relegation strugglers a point at the death.

Why Organic Cotton?

Organic cotton begins with living soil. This means the soil has not had any chemicals used in it for at least three years and it has been enriched with compost and other organic matter. Enriching the soil in this way ensures vigorous plants which in turn means they will be better able to be bug, weed and disease resistant. Cotton plants need huge amounts of nitrogen; so organic cotton farmers use chicken manure or plant cover crops of Vetch or Fava Beans all of which supplies the cotton plants with the desired nitrogen. These replace synthetic fertilizers that are harmful. Organic farmers also make sure they have good bugs in their fields. These dont harm the cotton; they prey on the bad bugs that would harm the cotton plants. These bad bugs are the reason that regular cotton farmers feel the need to use chemical sprays. How much better it is to use natural ways of controlling them! Weeds are managed by mechanical or hand-hoeing methods. When it is harvest time the cotton is handpicked!

The processing of organic cotton is done with potato starch instead of chemicals. No chlorine is used. When spinning the organic cotton fiber, natural easily biodegradable oil is used. No finishes are added! It comes to you pure! Being chemical free can be a life and death matter!

Cotton is a very versatile fiber and almost any type of fabric can be made from it. It conducts heat well and soaks up to 27 times its weight in water. It is also very comfortable and durable. Think how important all these qualities are when it comes to your bedding and clothing!

So Happy Together - An Anniversary Party!

An Anniversary doesnt have to be a big or even number to warrant a celebration. A party should be held after every year you are happily married! An anniversary party can follow many themes and be held in a home, restaurant or hall.

Send out invitations well in advance of your gathering. They can be in wedding bell shapes, lovebirds, hearts or with whatever theme you have going on. A party supply store will have oodles of themes to choose from, including a safari, a 60s theme or a classic car party. Paper products to match the motif include thanks you cards, party favor bags, plates, napkins and tablecloths. Plastic silverware in any color is available for easy clean up and disposal.

Other anniversary party needs would be balloons, flowers and streamers. If you are having a large open house style gathering, use centerpieces of flowers which compliment the theme. A palm tree for safaris, a convertible plastic car for the classic and a pair of fuzzy dice for the 60s work well in the center of the table. Your budget is the only limiting factor in decorating.

Games are often difficult to play at an open house or anniversary party, but you can have other entertainment. Play the wedding video in the background or on a laptop computer. Have pictures posted or set out the wedding photo album for everyone to peruse and reminisce.

Party favors can be given out in the form of a picture with a thank you, a fun theme oriented figure or just table mints. Use your imagination to top every previous years celebration. Take lots of pictures to continually add to a scrapbook just meant for the anniversary party. Have fun and watch everyone grow old and gray together over the years!
