''The administrators have a duty to creditors to aim to get the best deal possible so we submit all offers where funds are proved.
A spokesman for the RFL confirmed they have received the offer and executive officers carried out ''due diligence'' before making a recommendation to the board of directors.
The board are due to discuss their next move in a conference call, including chief executive Nigel Wood, who is in Australia, later today.
There are some weeks that come easier than others, then there are weeks like this that are just plain exhausting. Since the first of the year I have been blessed to work many hours of overtime in my job, and although it is a computer based job the thinking end of it just wipes me out, also sitting for extended hours is not that great for a post back surgical condition. Ya, ya, ya I know it is great thought to get up every 20 or 30 minutes, but production is money and money is the name of the game. And for those of us who have worked so much overtime over the past years have come to a point of depending on it, vs being able to put it ahead. That was great the first year or two but after 25 to 30 of it you take it just like part of your regular pay. I have a contractor friend of mine who observed me one day and after wards he was talking about the differences in fatigue. He told me he would take his any day of the week as when he gets done work, he is done and after a hot shower or bath can sit down and relax and recoup. Seeing me, he asks if my mind ever really shuts down and truth be told no. To which he said that was his point. So as you see, if you live on the Cape, you are not alone in having to "work" for a living. You are not alone having to put in the long hours to make it. But we still love being part of this place, but I would prefer it be in the high 50s to mid-60s. For those of you who think living on the Cape is all play, well this is a reality check that many of us are just as much of a working stiff as you are. We have bills to pay and mouths to feed, and mortgages to meet. The only difference is we get the smell salt air, feel the sand under our feet and enjoy the scenery of the Cape every minute of every day. Ok so that is a big deal LOL. But really? Life goes on and we all have our jobs to do and find a way to push through another day. I hope you find your own rest and peace form day to day and are able to come visit us soon. And to those who live here, know you are not alone in your daily routine, but we can say we get to enjoy life, right here on old Cape Cod.
This week's local business report will focus more on Honey this week than any thing else. Places where you can get and and folks who make. The Cape with it's abundance of Cranberry bogs and, beach plums, and other local vegetation makes it a prime spot for the bees to live and do their bee things, which includes for the most part, making honey. But first I have an update on a newer business I reported on just a couple weeks ago, Shoal Hope Ciderworks out of the Provincetown. They have made a wicked awesome announcement that as of March 8th they will be opening a taproom within Cape Cod Beer. That is right folks starting March 8th our good friends at Cape Cod Beer will be helping our Shoal Hope Ciderworks with some space to pour the hard cider. So go and check him out and, this stuff is wicked awesome. This makes a great pairing as in my house the Mrs is not an enjoyer of beer, but loves hard cider, while for me cider is a good change up to my love for beer. Yaah to both.
Not Enough Acres Farms in Dennis - on Sesuit Neck Rd.
Ok that's it and this does not even start to scratch the surface of the small Mom/Pop yard sale folks that are putting out some very good products. So where ever you are driving around the Cape keep your eyes open for that wonderful golden deliciousness known as honey.
Well hello my friends, how are you holding up with this yo-yo weather of ours. I have heard reports of the flue bug going around and pray you have stayed away from it. This time of year with the number of people down, and the full interior tours down that helps us stay away from a lot of you that have to work in offices and out in the public, especially if you are around a lot of kids. But it is what it is and we deal with it. The wind has been our enemy, and this past several days has just been wicked. Wind can be just as damaging as the waves can be and since last time we had a super snow moon which did add an extra dimension to the tides. These super moons always scare me, most would think high tides are the biggest threat, to me low tides are with unseen sandbars or changes in channels showing up where they have not been before or due to the super lows are now exposed. Fortunately I did not hear of any issues around the cape, although the high winds also helped to keep the questionables in where they belong. As far as what else is going on around here, we are getting a lot of the repairs done that we do every year this time, and I am having to make up for last year being away from this place. Yes I will admit it was nice to get away for a bit, but I think next time it will be much shorter time. The lamp room has held her own so far and we have not had many issues with extra critters. Although this year I have not spotted any of my Snowy Owl friends who have not been shown up as they have in the past years. I have heard there has been one or two sightings and a couple more out one the Islands but not so much here. I have had a couple visit us right up outside the lamp room. So that is the excitement of the week around here. I hope you are starting to make your plans to come to the Cape this summer and come visit us. But for now, the sun is getting low and I still need to finish a few projects so keep warm, stay healthy and just have fun living life, especially if you can do it right here on Old Cape Cod.
Since it is still cooler weather season, Ok cold season I wanted to go with a more hearty fruit for the dessert of the month and something that was not a common but still simple to make. Crisps and Crumbles fit that equation very well. So we all have heard of Apple Crisp, Peach, Cherry, and Berry Crisps but Pears sometimes get the short end of the stick because some think they lack taste. I like them because they have great taste and are not harsh to work with. So bring it on for a Honey Pear Crisp.
Preheat oven to 350. Lightly spray or grease an 9x9 inch baking dish. Combine lemon juice, honey and pinch of salt together in a bowl. Toss dices pear pieces to lightly coat. Sprinkle cornstarch, cinnamon and nutmeg over pears. Gently stir to coat. In a separate bowl whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Pour filling into baking dish then sprinkle on topping. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until filling is bubbly and topping is golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
Don't forget to come join me weekday mornings at CCRockhopper.com for some morning groans, moans and pick me ups as well as a few thoughts for around the water cooler and the IM chat box. It's good to know your not the only one struggling with mornings. So come join me.
PARADISE — A female driver was killed and two other drivers were seriously injured when their vehicles collided about 5:30 p.m. Tuesday on Clark Road north of the Paradise Airport.
Clark was closed in both directions following the crash and officials didn’t expect it to reopen until about 8:30 p.m.
A woman driving a late-model Dodge Neon was pronounced dead by emergency medical personnel at the scene.
Another female, driving a Ford Focus, had to be extricated from her vehicle and was transported to Enloe Medical Center by FlightCare helicopter.
The driver of the third vehicle, an older Jeep Cherokee, was transported to Enloe by ambulance.
Little information about what caused the crash was available at press time. Crime scene investigators from the Paradise Police Department said one of the best witnesses to the crash was the woman flown to Enloe, and investigators were hoping to talk with her Tuesday night.
Police said it appeared that one of the vehicles may have tried to pass over a double yellow line.
The Cherokee appeared to hit one or both of the smaller cars head-on, then rolled over, landing on its wheels.
The Focus and Neon sustained heavy damage to their windshield and roof areas.
The Neon was knocked to the south shoulder of Clark. The other two vehicles remained in the roadway, facing east.
The cause of death to the female driving the Neon wasn’t immediately determined.
None of the drivers had passengers with them.
The names of the drivers, and conditions of the two that appeared to survive the crash, weren’t available by press time.
Residents along the north side of Clark Road expressed concern Tuesday night about line-of-sight issues in the stretch running east and west of the airport. They said pulling onto Clark from side roads is dangerous, and that many motorists pass illegally on the road, even though they can’t clearly see oncoming traffic.
They said Caltrans is aware that the road doesn’t meet accepted standards.
With a name like the "Transrotor Artus," this contraption sounds like a piece of heavy machinery that might be found in an assembly plant. And by the looks of this photo, it almost could be.
But closer inspection of the top reveals the real purpose of this erstwhile bucket of bolts: a turntable. And not just any old record record player, but an "LP player/phonograph/grammophone" that goes for $150,000, according to Hiendfi, and weighs nearly a quarter-ton. Maybe it's priced by the pound.

(CNN) -- Don't believe the hype.
Billy Crudup plays Dr. Manhattan in "Watchmen," the film version of the popular graphic novel.
"Visionary" director Zack Snyder, as the marketing would have it, has filmed Alan Moore's "unfilmable" graphic novel by treating the comic book panels as his storyboard and his Bible.
Doesn't it bother anyone that this is about as far from the definition of "visionary" as it's possible to get?
The visionary sees what others do not see. Snyder -- whose previous films were a remake ("Dawn of the Dead") and another scrupulously faithful comic book adaptation ("300") -- is more in the line of a fancy photocopier, duplicating other artists' imagery with a forger's intensity.
A visionary transforms the world. Snyder slavishly transcribes what's set down 5 inches in front of his face.
Alan Moore, who has refused to have his name on the movie (ditto its Moore-based predecessors, "V for Vendetta" and "The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen") and who has declined all reimbursement to protest the entertainment industry's fundamental lack of respect for intellectual property, counts as a bona fide visionary.
His 1986 comic book is a landmark in the history of the form, a masterpiece of pop cultural angst, filtering Cold War nihilism and disillusionment through the inspired pulp idiom of mundane masked crimefighters and one genuine, possibly radioactive, superhero.
With its parallel stories and virtuoso zooming and panning visual tropes, Moore and illustrator Dave Gibbons' "Watchmen" always felt cinematic. You could sense Martin Scorsese and "Taxi Driver's" Travis Bickle in Moore's squalid New York and vigilante anti-hero Rorschach, but proposed movies by Terry Gilliam and Paul Greengrass failed to materialize, foundering on the comic book's sophisticated narrative chicanery.
The solution proposed by Snyder and screenwriters David Hayter and Alex Tse is simply to ignore the problem and stick to the text. In fairness, this strategy has proved wildly popular in adaptations of the "Harry Potter" books, for instance, "Twilight" and "300." The fans seem to demand it -- just as there is now a common assumption that a longer, unexpurgated DVD edition is inherently superior to the shorter, tighter theatrical version.
"Watchmen" the movie provides ample evidence that more is more, but less might have been closer to Moore in spirit (that is, anarchic, witty and compelling). Clocking in at an exhausting 163 minutes even without some of the book's various subplots, the film forfeits momentum and suspense for a jerky succession of expository dialogue scenes, interspersed with occasional flashes of grotesque ultra-violence. It's all invariably filmed in Snyder's spasmodic, stop-go trademark style and accompanied by a jukebox score that ranges from Bob Dylan and Leonard Cohen to Nena's "99 Luftballoons."
On the few occasions where the filmmakers do exercise their imaginations -- in a credit montage relating the glory days of the crimefighters Weegee-style, and in a neat improvement on Moore's climax -- the results are actually ingenious and sharp. iReport.com: Fan underwhelmed by "Watchmen"
Well, see it for yourself, and then compare with the infinitely more nuanced passage in the graphic novel.
The considerable limitations of Swedish-Canadian actress Malin Akerman are cruelly exposed as Laurie, aka Silk Spectre II, and if Matthew Goode (playing Adrian Veidt) is the smartest man in the world, then we're really in trouble.
Jackie Earle Haley and his "Little Children" co-star Patrick Wilson fare better as, respectively, the angry reactionary Rorschach and mildly conflicted Dan Dreiberg, while it's hard to take your eyes off Billy Crudup's naked blue avatar, Dr. Manhattan -- for various reasons.
Snyder flunks that test. Yes it will hit the box office like a tidal wave, but ultimately the numb, enervating "Watchmen" is living on borrowed time. No smiley face here.
"Watchmen" runs 162 minutes and is rated R. For Entertainment Weekly's take, click here.
You can earn up to 120,000 points, broken down into two tiers - you get 80,000 points when you spend $2,000 in the first three months, and 40,000 more points when you spend a total of $5,000 in the first six months.
The 120,000 points can be redeemed for everything from 12 nights in a Holiday Inn in Sao Paulo, Brazil (and that's without factoring in the fourth night free - see below), to two nights at the luxurious InterContinental hotels in Sydney, Australia or Los Angeles.
This limited time sign-up bonus is only around until May 2 - after that, it will presumably go back to its previous offer of 80,000 points total after spending $2,000 in the first three months. The card has an $89 annual fee, but the sign-up bonus more than covers that cost - not to mention the card's other benefits.
