You are now in Sing... no wait, Indonesia, no wait, Singapore.
On a flight to Singapore not too long ago,
35,000 feet above sea level, (or maybe not that high)
with my phone on silent mode (I know I was supposed to switch it off, but yea.. you know~),
I received a text on the plane while crossing the (tiny) ocean connecting Singapore and Malaysia.
No wait~ What's this?
Shit. Am I on the wrong flight? O Shit shit... wait... but that can't be~~ *look around*
*Five minutes later*
Bloody hell, that deym Indonesia line very strong right? Flying from Malaysia to Singapore also can interrupt.

Selfish retard. If the whole plane had plunged into the ocean, we know who caused it.ReplyDelete

I think the rule is that you are only no allowed to switch on your wireless electronic device (handphone, laptop with Wifi on,...) during the plane taking off and landing time. Rest is ok.ReplyDelete
Correct me if I am wrong.

Hey Nicole you are seriously not setting a good example to all your readers out here by switching on the bloody phone while on the flightReplyDelete
What are you trying to prove by keeping the phone on? Is not that anybody on the ground will able able to reach you anyway.
Is rather selfish act and a show-off. I hope you do not repeat this mistake again and be more sensitive next in your actions
- Anonymous28/2/09 3:01 PM
Nicole, that's the last thing I expected from you as you are a world traveler and you should know the rules, why cellphone is not allow...etc. In USA, before you step into a hospital, you have to turn off your cellphone. Why? come on you know the answer, same as we turn off cellphone when on air. There is no case where cellphone cause a crash yet, but the radio picks up the cellphone radio wave. If you are a pilot, you don't what that to happen right? Just don't do that again please. You are a role model to many young kids out there so just set a good example not bad one.ReplyDelete
hi Nicole, if you still want your phone on for whatever reason, such as song, game... you can always set it to Flight Mode.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous28/2/09 4:10 PM
it was actually proven that mobile phones *are* capable of messing with electronic instruments in the cockpit because the radio waves it emits is strong enough to disrupt it.
which is why, if you need to urgently need to make a phone call, you can use the phone provided in flight. flight engineers have wired the phone so that the waves it emits would be directed away from the cockpit and only emit from a certain part of a plane that would not affect the electronic instruments. even though it is expensive, it's a safety precaution that is invaluable.

not to defense nicole here (her intention is :| ...),ReplyDelete
but seem that MAS is the only airline support in-flight cellphone/PDA service in Asia!
From TheStar:

and it's getting scarier to fly with MAS :p
- tiger^cub28/2/09 5:29 PM
ok, ive seen and heard fone ring tones goin off durin flights, which is really annoying, but i heard from a fren of mine, who's a pilot saying dat fones being on during flights don't cause too much interuption, at least not too much till the plane crashes and stuff, he said it's jz annoying, but not life threatening, if not, im sure the flight attendants would have made sure and took every1's handfone and keep them till the flights over, but nicole, try not to do this often :)ReplyDelete
Hi Nicole and everyone..ReplyDelete
I have been reading your blog for quite sometimes back.. I decided to contribute in this discussion cos i know what happen to your mobile phone SMS. Btw, i work for an operator in sg.
Your mobile phone has the capability to detect for the strongest mobile network signal and logon to any network it detect as long as you are not in your default network (Maxis i guess). As you are landed in Changi airport, you will very likely to cross through Indonesia network as your plane are circulating before landing.
The flight instrument might be messed up due to the mobile signal. But it certainly wont crash your plane. An experienced pilot will be able to spot the problem and rectify it. Anyway, if you are not seated near to the cockpit, it wont affect the flight at all. But still, keep it safe so that everyone have a pleasant flight.

well said eDDie :)ReplyDelete
This was suppose to be a funny post and someone kept bombarding her...ok...maybe she is wrong for keeping her hp on throughout her flight, but she and other passanger are safe and sound now... so its alright to add a comment once and remind her for her mistakes, but don't keep on bashing her on her blog..she's got feelings...ReplyDelete
- jenn28/2/09 8:02 PM
yeah, pls switch off that mobile phone whenever you are in a plane. Although u won't cause plane crash, but still, it's better to be safe than sorry....ReplyDelete
Be considerate. Switch it off.
Hey Hey!Your Birthday is kambing hor.... Happy Birthday!!! Have A Great Party To CelebraTE this Great Day yah!ReplyDelete
if every plane can be crashed by switching on the phone, the terrorists dont have hijacked the plane. be rational people, learn more before say something. rule number one is dont write anything when angry. is signal noise what we called. interruption only i dare to confirm. the captain surely overcome the problem but be upset since there someone dont follow the rules. if just one or two phone is switch on, the situation is safe but is all switch on the phone, it would be major disaster.ReplyDelete
To all the anonymous-es...
I think Nicole is having fun reading your comments already... :P
Turning on a phone yes will interfere with the flight instruments. And no, it will not crash a plane. We are advancing in technology people!!! Read and learn!!

To smart alecs i.e. yapthomas & jimmywong,ReplyDelete
No. Anonymous like us are not that stupid to think that by leaving the mobile phones switched on will cause any plane crash. It just that we all agree that what she did on that flight is really uncalled for. She is in a god damn flight and there are rules to follow. Imagine if not one Nicole but more and more people are acting like her,then what's going to happen next. What was she thinking?
- Anonymous1/3/09 12:42 AM
Just wanna clarify. We use Flight Level 210 (21,000 feet) and Flight Level 220 (22,000 feet) for flights between KL and Singapore.ReplyDelete

smart alec! wow... thanks!ReplyDelete
did I say she was right?
indeed she was wrong... i don't need to tell her that. you all have...
Wow, its kinda dumb that you peeps dont do any proper research huh? Mobile signals in "modern" planes no longer affects anything or should i say, completely everything on the operations on the plane, other than pissing off your neighbor and imbeciles like anonymous.ReplyDelete
Anonymous, you should be more considerate and rational before you open up your thoughts.
Think before you speak!

I DO NOT WANT FREAKING PEOPLE TALKING LOUD ON THE PLANE.ReplyDelete
while i'm pretty sure that nicole didn't and won't be able to crash any planes with that stunt, it's pretty much a dumbass thing to do imho.ReplyDelete
not wanting to be overly critical, but it isn't that hard to switch it off or turn it to flight mode.
- Anonymous3/3/09 10:36 PM
Anyway, a rule is a rule. Just be considerate.ReplyDelete
it could be that Nicole forgot to turn it off. maybe she thought it was, well you know, in the excitement of travelling. right?ReplyDelete
yeah I agree, the indonesian mobile networks are really strong. but then again, they have to cover kalimantan, sumatra, java and bali and then some!

The things you can learn from old newspapers!
From The Mt. Vernon Signal
Mt. Vernon, Rockcastle County, Kentucky
24 Aug 1917
"About 4:30, Friday afternoon, a very bad accident occured on Dixie Highway. Misses Lena, Gracie and Emma Taylor were on their way home from the funeral of Mrs. Hariett Burdette, when Claude Griffin's car scared the horse, which they were driving, causing him to throw the girls under the buggy. The horse began to run and dragged the buggy a short distance. The buggy was torn to pieces but the girls were not seriously hurt. The horse was scratched up a little."Emma Taylor was my grandmother. I don't believe she ever told us this story. My mother and my aunt don't remember hearing it either.
Mamaw was two months from turning 17 years old at the time of this accident. Gracie was her older half-sister and Lena was her first cousin. Hariett (Ramsey) Burdette, whose funeral they had attended, was Gracie's aunt.

Adams Private Stock Canadian Whisky
Review: Adams Private Stock Canadian Whisky 80/100
a review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Published August 09, 2012 (Re-scored September 2016)
I was a little curious about the heritage of Adam's Private Stock Whisky so I dug into its past a little. When I did, I found a newspaper ad on page 98 of the Ottawa Citizen (dated December 1, 1960), which advertised Adam's Private Stock Whisky. The ad says (in part),
" … Years ago Adams distilled 29 great whiskies, each with its own distinctive characteristics, and then aged them in special oak casks. Now Adams has married these 29 rare whiskies to create the superb flavour of Adams Private Stock. This custom blend is presented in its crystal decanter at a popular price…"
That ad is the earliest trace that I can find of the existence of Adams Private Stock Whisky. It was apparently produced by Thomas Adams Distilling Ltd. of Toronto Ontario. Things change of course, and according to the label on both of my bottles (see picture below), the whisky is now imported into the USA and bottled by White Rock Distilleries. Of course, I have no idea whether Adam's Private Stock is still blended from 29 rare whiskies. I just know that this whisky is getting harder and harder to find. And that's a pity, because I have fond memories of the Private Stock Whisky which stretch back over 30 years when I received one of my first ever bottles of whisky. I was never a regular consumer of the Adams, because even back then, it was hard to find.
Sadly this whisky is going to be even harder to find in my locale as I have noticed that it has been discontinued from the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Control website. However, recently, I decided to go into my private collection and pull out one of my last remaining bottles of the Private Stock Whisky to put it through the paces of my review system. It was a bit of a nostalgic experience for me, hopefully it will be a useful review for some of you.
In the Bottle 4/5
That original ad I found for Adams Private Stock spoke of a crystal decanter which housed the whisky. I guess things changed over the years as the whisky, in my most recent purchases, has been housed in a less austere dwelling. The look is okay, but certainly not inspiring. Something tells me that if Adams had stayed the course on the high ground, it might be more common in today's liquor stores.
In the Glass 8.5/10
The Whisky has a nice amber colour and an even nicer rye filled nose. Fruit-filled with spicy ginger and cloves, the initial aroma is augmented by some sweeter butterscotch and caramel that drift upwards. There are some initial light hints of astringency, but as the glass breathes there are also some welcome scents of marmalade and marzipan mingling with some slightly fermented sour notes of green apple. Accents of corn, a little oak and sandalwood, and a little more than a touch of vanilla round things out, and so far my little jaunt into the past is going very well.
In the Mouth 48/60
In all the times that I have had occasion to open a bottle of the Private Stock, I do not believe I ever sipped it neat until now. I am finding that the whisky puts its own spin on the Canadian Whisky category. The flavour while staying true to the traditional Canadian rye-whisky taste profile has a certain lightly sour, lightly fermented quality that is hard to describe. I taste old-fashioned bread and butter pickles underneath the more normal rye spices and the butterscotch/caramel flavours of the whisky. Now that I taste them, I smell them too. Some apple juice and the syrup from canned apricots work their way into my consciousness too along with a few hints of dark plums. I find this all very interesting; but to be honest, the Private Stock Whisky is not really all that sippable because of a light harshness that accompanies the whisky flavour.
The whisky is however, very mixable. It hard for me to ascertain how much of my enjoyment when mixing a tall rye and ginger-ale is due to nostalgia and how much is due to great flavour, but I did notice when I had a few friends over that I wasn't the only one denting the fill line on the Private Stock.
In the Throat 11.5/15
Sweet and sour rye spices followed by a nice punky butterscotch and caramel. The spicy heat left upon the palate might be interpreted as rough by some, but, for me all is well (in a good mixable Canadian Whisky sort of way).
The Afterburn 8/10
Like many of the economy whisky brands in Canada, the Adams Private Stock is not meant for sipping neat by the fireplace. It is meant for the long tall cocktail, preferably with lots of ice. In this realm the whisky does just fine. I prefer to mix my Canadian rye with ginger-ale, but cola works equally well for many of my friends. This is a good mixer with lots of interesting flavour that pushes through the soda and into your bar drink. I like it, and for me, it is regrettable that this whisky will be much harder to find soon.
You may read some of my other Whisky Reviews (click the link) if you wish to have some comparative reviews.
Suggested Recipe
A Fizz is a highball style cocktail using a base spirit and a little acidic juice (usually lemon or lime) shaken over ice, lengthened by the addition of sparkling water after straining. Depending upon the recipe, a flavouring spirit can be added and/or sugar to sweeten. I hit upon the idea of using Orangina instead of sparkling water to lengthen the cocktail, and the Double Diamond Fizz was born.
Double Diamond Fizz
1 1/2 oz Adams Private Stock Canadian Whisky
1/4 oz Curacao
juice of 1/2 fresh lemon
1/2 tsp sugar syrup
2 oz sparkling orange water (Orangina)
Shake the first four ingredients with ice in a metal shaker until frosted
Strain into a glass tumbler
Add ice-cubes
Complete with Orangina
I have found this recipe works very well for any light bodied whisky.
And Remember, the aim of my blog is not to help you drink more…it is to help you drink better!
As always you may interpret the scores I provide as follows.
0-25 A spirit with a rating this low would actually kill you.
26-49 Depending upon your fortitude you might actually survive this.
50 -59 You are safe to drink this…but you shouldn't.
60-69 Substandard swill which you may offer to people you do not want to see again.
70-74 Now we have a fair mixing rum or whisky. Accept this but make sure it is mixed into a cocktail.
75-79 You may begin to serve this to friends, again probably still cocktail territory.
80-84 We begin to enjoy this spirit neat or on the rocks. (I will still primarily mix cocktails)
85-89 Excellent for sipping or for mixing!
90-94 Definitely a primary sipping spirit, in fact you may want to hoard this for yourself.
95-97.5 The Cream of the Crop
98+ I haven't met this bottle yet…but I want to.
Very loosely we may put my scores into terms that you may be more familiar with on a Gold, Silver, and Bronze medal scale as follows:
70 – 79.5 Bronze Medal (Recommended only as a mixer)
80 – 89.5 Silver Medal (Recommended for sipping and or a high quality mixer)
90 – 95 Gold Medal (Highly recommended for sipping and for sublime cocktails.)
95.5+ Platinum Award (Highest Recommendation)

Kerbside Collection
- Keep you Mpact collection calendar on your fridge with a magnet
- Speak to your family about recycling and the difference they can make to our planet and our economy
- Host green dinner parties and street events
- Challenge your neighbours to better your family's efforts
Getting started
Start small:
Ease into recycling by setting up a simple system. This small start could take the form of keeping paper and paper packaging in your Ronnie Bags next to your dustbin or could take the form of an additional container, box or bin near your dustbin, which will make separation of recyclables effortless.
Even if you begin with just one material, like paper, and later add other recyclables like cans, plastic and glass you will make a difference to already overflowing landfills and help create jobs.
- Separate your paper waste from your other waste
- Keep your waste paper clean and dry
- Get to know what is recyclable and what is not
Get savvy:
How you collect and store your recyclables will determine to a large extent your next steps.
Contact representatives:
Ronnie Bags
If you have collected your paper and paper products in a Ronnie Bag — in Gauteng — place your bag on the pavement outside your house on collection days. Collections are done every week or bi-weekly from the kerbside on scheduled Mpact paper pick-up days, which may vary from suburb to suburb. Please check out the Mpact Recycling kerbside collection calendar to confirm collection dates if we are in your area.
Wheelie Bins
If you have stored your paper and paper products in larger containers or wheelie bins, you can take your recyclables to your closest paperbank, school or community centre, where you would be helping them raise funds. Alternatively you could take your recyclables to a drop-off or buy-back centre in your area.
Townhouse complexes can purchase wheelie bins for paper collection from their nearest Mpact Recycling office.
Support informal collectors
If you are not in an area where we run Ronnie Bag collection and cannot get to a drop-off or buy-back centre, separate your recyclables from general waste and leave them in a transparent bag next to your refuse bin on waste collection days. This helps many informal collectors who often have to wade through tonnes of trash every day. Informal collectors earn a living selling recyclable waste.
Save by:
- reducing the amount of waste you create
- becoming a conscious consumer by buying only what you need
- buying products that can be reused and buying products with little or no packaging.
Mpact Recycling continues to work diligently with various stakeholders including government, business and consumers to further improve recycling rates. Paper consumed in people's homes and offices represents the biggest opportunity to grow paper recycling in South Africa.

|Not Applicable
The study will be a prospective randomized clinical control trial among HIV-1 seropositive adult participants beginning HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy) for the first time. Patients who are eligible to be initiated on HAART at the UW/Coptic Hope Center for Infectious Diseases will be referred for enrollment. Eligible patients who are referred will learn about the study and be invited to enroll after signing a written informed consent.
Study participants will be randomized to one of four arms:educational counseling, a pocket alarm device, both education and alarm, or neither. Participants will be followed in the study for 1 ½ years after enrollment and randomization. Participants will return to clinic every month to pick up a renewal of their antiretroviral prescriptions at which time pill counts will be performed. During follow-up visits, blood will be drawn and stored for CD4 counts and HIV-1 viral analyses.
Within this trial, the study also proposes to identify sociodemographic and spatial correlates of adherence. The study hypothesizes that educational counseling and medication alarm devices may significantly improve adherence, and that poor adherence may be associated with low socioeconomic standing, increased mobility, and distance from clinic.

Brad Pitt and longtime love Angelina Jolie attend the "Half the Sky" book party at the Pacific Design Center in West Hollywood on Tuesday night (October 27).
On her way out, Angie was seen carrying the book "Half The Sky: Turning Oppression Into Opportunity For Women Worldwide" by Nicholas D. Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn. The 34-year-old actress has said of the book, "For female readers it gives a new sense of what it is to be a woman. For husbands sons and fathers, it will infuriate and astound you. You will not want to put it down."
The couple left in a Chevrolet Camaro sports car with Brad at the wheel and Angie holding onto his shoulder. FYI: Angie is wearing a dress from the Ralph Lauren Collection.

But Enough of my Petty Problems
If I were a parent, would I need to fear being forcibly separated from my children while I worked? Would I fear not being able to find them, not being able to pick them up from day care, not knowing where they were or how they were being treated? No.
When I'm working and I get thirsty, I get up and get a glass of water from the pretty filtering pitcher in the refrigerator. I don't beg for a drink from a stranger, only to be told I must share one little water bottle among a dozen equally thirsty coworkers.
Usually I put fresh ice in my water, too. "Ice" for me means "frozen water." It is not a word of power or fear for me. It is not an acronym in my life. I attach no negative connotations to it.
I have an apartment full of cheap crap, yes. But I never worry, when there is a knock on the door, that someone has come to separate me from any of it, to separate me from those I love, to separate me from the home I have made here.
I am permitted to stay here and surround myself with cheap crap. I am allowed to clock in and out, to work, to earn money in relative peace and air-conditioned comfort. I am permitted to do all these things through no special skill or ability (beyond that needed to do my job, of course) of my own. I am able to do these things because of an accident of birth, because of where I was born and because of where the woman to whom I was born was born.
Best of all, I am able to go my whole life never seeing any of it. If I don't want to look, I don't have to. If I don't want to listen, no one will make me. If I don't want to do anything about it, I will not be punished for failure to act. No penance is imposed because, with all due respect, sir, I'm a white lady. I can do anything.
Did I say that was the best part of all? I lied. The best part of all is that if I do open my eyes, clean out my ears, and get off my ass, I'm totally entitled to a cookie for being one of the good white ladies. Or I think I'm entitled to one; anyway, it's all the same to me, and I'm going to whine for that cookie all the louder the more you suggest I don't deserve it.
Because you're wrong. I'm what matters. Meeeeeeeee. And my food processor, of course. When are we going to focus on the important shit, like getting me a food processor?
I mean, these people were in the country illegally, right? So what if they wear themselves out making our military vests and our Rockports and our Coach bags. Besides, they all took those jobs from the real Americans. The real Americans are those Americans who cleverly arranged for their ancestors to come to the United States the right way, from the good countries across the Atlantic, instead of the wrong way, from the bad countries south of us.
No, they've got to go. Back where they came from. Or Texas, close enough.
Do you disagree?
Then do something. Write your Congressional representatives (here's a sample letter). Spread the word. If you are in Boston, get involved locally.
If the New Bedford raids had been something the Iraqi government whipped on hundreds of Kurdish workers, we'd care. If it were the English against the Irish, we'd care. If it were the Thai versus the Hmong, we'd care.
Instead, this happened in our country. We have no excuse not to care.

Ilyka, I've been enjoying visiting here for a few weeks, chuckling along at your fantastic wit; but, okay, you now officially rock in my book. This is a phenomenal post, both the rich link roundup and your amusing yet hard-hitting writing. Cheers!

Thank you for this. There are way too many kids trying to get by in schools while worrying every day that their parents might not be home after school. They didn't even want to come here, and they're punished every day because we apparently can't get by without an underclass of undocumented labor.

Oh gah, gah, gah! Removing babies from their mothers? Refusing to give people enough water? Ignoring sick women? Oh yeah, we're all about the treating people with decency and compassion.
Well, as long as their skin is the right color and they have enough money.

This particular issue *is* local for me, and I'm trying to be able to write coherently about it.
I've started, but can't get through the insanity of arresting people and transpoprting them out-of-state, right away, without even checking that there might be minor children, or invalided parents, now without caregivers.
And this crackdown is *all* about the votes -- the thugs crouched in the GOP "big tent" are all looking for some way to get their majority back, and making it look "see how tough we are on lawbreakers?" is just a cheap way to do it.
I'll try to write about it again.

Ilyka, you kick ass.
I know, I know. It's taken me forever to delurk here, but seriously, stop ruling so much and maybe I wouldn't be all shy and shit.
Folks should also check out Brownfemipower's place. She's got a lot of good info on this as well.
Yeah Craig, it is tough to write about shit like this while simultaneously resisting the urge to throw your monitor against the wall. Which is all the more reason posts like this need to be written.
Which reminds me, I have a blog that I've been neglecting lately. I've got some work to do.

The idiots who suggest that "well, they were committing a crime" are major-league assholes. Imagine their response to a group of Wall Street bankers who were arrested for solicitation being treated that way. Hey, solicitation is a crime. And we're totally incapable of making distinctions between types of crime, you know. It's not like we have minimum security prisons vs. maximum security prisons or different sentencing guidelines or anything like that!
Seriously, no one actually believes that all people who commit crimes should be treated the same way. The idea that an illegal immigrant, whose main crime is working without a visa, deserves the same treatment as a murderer belies nothing more than a deep contempt for immigrants. So spare us the false equivalences, trolls. None of us believe you're really that consistent.

New York Fashion Week always makes us giddy. We love eyeing up every detail right down to nail trends. This past year saw us through all kinds of looks including magnetized swirl effects, nail art and even fuzzy nails. But forward-thinking fashionistas need to know what's in store for us come Spring/Summer 2014, right?
In a word: variety (yay! I love options). NYFW nail trends ran the gamut from sunny oranges to barely there hues. And yes, there's still nail art . . . more subtle, but nail art nonetheless.
Thanks to the variety, there's a look for everyone. So what's in store for us come Spring/Summer 2014? Drum roll, please…
The New York Fashion Week Nail Trends
Subtle Nail Art
Whew. I was happy to see the trend didn't fade away. It just got a kind of mani-makeover.
Get out that steady hand and get into stripes. Some models wore a few lines across the tip of a solid colored nail. Others stepped out in tic-tac-toe creativity. Typically, the look featured thin black lines over a white/creamy base.
In a few instances, models' digits donned a more conservative style, including beige and white half-moon designs.
Some models paired "Don't Pretzel my Buttons" (OPI) with a white half-moon effect.
Subtle Hues
Get ready to bat those eyelashes. Ladylike sheers, pale pinks and sandy tones were a common NYFW nail trend.
Bold & Unique Color, Classic Application
Orange nails (along with lots of orange lip colors) rocked NYFW runways. So did more unique shades with earthy gray tones. What we liked about this nail trend was the simplicity. Ah, back to the basics: pick a color, glide on a couple of coats, and call it a day!
Like what you see? We scoped out some shades so you too, can get your Spring/Summer 2014 nails in gear.
So ladies, did NYFW nail it? What trends will you try?

PITTSBURGH — A judge today convicted a former Pittsburgh-area armored car guard of killing his partner and stealing $2.3 million from the truck last year.
Kenneth Konias Jr. was found guilty of first-degree murder, robbery and theft. He faces life in prison at his sentencing on Feb. 18.
The attorney for the 24-year-old Dravosburg resident claims Konias shot fellow guard Michael Haines in self-defense during an argument. He says Konias stole the money after realizing he'd need money to live on the lam.
But Allegheny County prosecutors say Konias planned the heist and killed Haines in cold blood before taking the cash in February 2012, and fleeing to Florida.
Konias opted for a bench trial. Judge David Cashman rendered the verdict after a trial that lasted several days.

Hello, fellow BrikWarriors. Here are the stat cards to my Solar Federation, making use of my GIMP template. I will be making modifications in the future (changing the color, for one thing), not to mention making more cards when I've got the models done. I would also like feedback on Engineering and Medical Training (I think they're about right -- the big change is that Engineers and Medics can buff Creations and Creatures, respectively).
First edit: Changed the color to a metallic cyan (sorry about the black border -- MOCpages' HTML uploader doesn't handle the transparent border very well).
The Solar Federation is one of the youngest star nations, but its rate of expansion is unparalleled; it is said, only half-in-jest, that the Solar Federation's primary export is Exploration Fleets. However, the Federation quickly learned that the galaxy is a dangerous and unforgiving place to those who would venture into the uncharted wilderness, and so the Solar Federation Armed Forces were founded to protect their fleets and colonies against the dangers of the void. The threats of the galaxy are manifold, from the all-consuming Ever-Builders, to the xenophobic Imperium Constructor, to the myriad Space Pirate fleets which plague the trade routes between the stars; regardless of their nature or number, the Solar Federation stands firm against them all!

Two Arrested in Murder of Newark Bodega Worker
Two people have been arrested and charged with murdering a Newark teenager as he worked in his family's bodega.
Acting Essex County Prosecutor Carolyn Murray says 21-year-old Tyrique Spruell and an unidentified 16-year-old are in custody and charged with murder, robbery and weapons offenses.
They are charged with fatally shooting 18-year-old Jamil Bader as he worked at Jamil & Sons Family Grocery on the night of Sept. 13.
Authorities say the two wore masks as they entered the convenience store and demanded money. Bader was shot as he tried to stop the robbery.
Spruell's bail was set at $750,000. It's not known if he has an attorney.
The 16-year-old is being held at a county youth facility. His name isn't being released because he is a juvenile.

….Now, what is going to happen in the future? In future those landlords will have to contribute to the taxation of the country on the basis of the real value – only one halfpenny in the pound! Only a halfpenny! And that is what all the howling is about. But there is another little tax called the increment tax. For the future what will happen? We mean to value all the land in the kingdom. And here you can draw no distinction between agricultural land and other land, for the simple reason that East and West Ham was agricultural land a few years ago! And if land goes up in the future by hundreds and thousands an acre through the efforts of the community, the community will get 20 per cent. of that increment. Ah! What a misfortune it is that there was not a Chancellor of the Exchequer who did this thirty years ago. Only thirty years ago, and we should now be enjoying an abundant revenue from this source.
Now I have given you West Ham. Let me give you a few more cases. Take cases like Golders Green and other cases of similar kind where the value of land has gone up in the course, perhaps, of a couple of years through a new tramway or a new railway being opened. Golders Green is a case in point. A few years ago there was a plot of land there which was sold at £160. Last year I went and opened a Tube railway there.
What was the result? This year that very piece of land has been sold for £2,100 – £160 before the railway was opened – before I was there – £2,100 now. I am entitled to 20 per cent. Now there are many cases where landlords take advantage of the exigencies of commerce and of industry – take advantage of the needs of municipalities and even of national needs and of the monopoly which they have got in land in a particular neighbourhood in order to demand extortionate prices. Take the very well known case of the Duke of Northumberland when a County Council wanted to buy a small plot of land as a site for a school to train the children, who in due course would become the men labouring on his property. The rent was quite an insignificant thing.
His contribution to the rates – I forget – I think it was on the basis of 30s. an acre. What did he demand for it for a school? £900 an acre. All we say is this – Mr Buxton and I say – if it is worth £900, let him pay taxes on £900…'
Rothschild was incensed and resisted the move to tax but in the end had to accept the inevitable.
The Sun Sets over the Peers
Finally, the whole controversy over the budget and the Parliament Act contributed powerfully to the steady decline of the House of Lords and the peerage in the British system of government. In 1911 the Conservatives claimed that Asquith had virtually created one-chamber government and they therefore promised a complete reform of the composition as well as the powers of the upper chamber which would have involved some modification of the hereditary principle. Indeed, as the preamble to the Act indicated, even the Liberals regarded their reform as an interim measure not a final solution. Yet, significantly the Tory leaders failed to redeem their promise despite rank and file pressure to do so even during the inter-war period. Tacitly they accepted the marginalisation of the House of Lords and, thus, of peers in general. This was underlined in 1923 when, following the resignation of the Conservative prime minister, Andrew Bonar Law, the obvious successor, Lord Curzon, was turned down because of his membership of the upper house. Never again would a peer become prime minister, though in 1963 Lord Home achieved the impossible by renouncing his peerage and returning to the House of Commons.
Financial and Social Consequences of the Budget
Finally, it remains to assess the long-term significance of the budget for British national finance. This can best be done by looking back into the Victorian period and forward into the twentieth century. It is sobering to think that since its introduction to cope with the costs of the French Revolutionary wars the income tax had been regarded as a temporary expedient. As late as the 1870s Gladstone had proposed to abolish it. He never quite succeeded, and in the 1880s and 1890s the rate rose to eight (old) pence in the pound. By 1914 Lloyd George had pushed the standard rate up to one shilling and four pence. By the end of the First World War it stood at six shillings. During the 1920s and 1930s despite enormous political pressure, income tax was only modestly reduced to four shillings. In short, all governments came to rely heavily on income tax as the central element in national finance. Even the government of Mrs Thatcher managed totrim income tax only to 25 (new) pence, equivalent to five shillings, which was historically a high rate.
The only aspect of the 1909 budget which failed to survive was Lloyd George's famous land taxes. The laborious process of land valuation went ahead up to 1914. But during the war his involvement in the coalition government put the whole enterprise in jeopardy. Although Lloyd George remained prime minister until 1922 he was too dependent on his Conservative colleagues to resurrect the land taxes; by 1920 they had been abandoned.
In spite of this setback, the social consequences of the Edwardian reforms were enduring. The effect of a graduated system of taxation combined with social welfare measures was to begin the process of redistributing national income from the rich to the poor, albeit slightly. This process continued in each succeeding decade regardless of changing circumstances and political parties. Not until after 1979 was the trend finally checked by reductions in taxation for very high earners and a shift to taxes on consumption paid by the poor and those on average incomes.

Sure we love our bikes, we're Bike Huggers afterall, but we don't go that far (that I know of and I don't want to know otherwise).

It is hard, if not impossible, to say when the Animal/Earth Liberation movement first started. A study of the subject literally takes you back thousands of years to 200 B.C. when people like Pythagoras advocated vegetarianism & animal compassion on spiritual grounds, and to the 1st century A.D. when Plutarch wrote what is widely regarded as the first animal rights literature.
However, the reader will be delighted to know that I am not going to bore you to death with 2000 years of waffle. Instead, I merely intend to look at what occurred 30 years ago this year. But first, to fully understand the events of 30 years ago, we must look slightly further back than that, to the events of 1964.
During the 19th and 20th centuries Britain saw a wealth of Animal Welfare and Rights groups established. However, these groups by and large relied upon the parliamentary way of legal reform to achieve their aims. This process was incredibly slow and achievements were minor. Even the 1911 Animal Protection Act treated animals as property and offered no protection to wild-born creatures. By the mid-nineteen sixties people started to look around for other ways of campaigning and in 1964 John Prestidge found that new style.
In 1964 in Brixham, Devon, England, John Prestidge founded a group that would actively oppose blood sports. Rather than campaigning for parliamentary reforms, John s new group was prepared to directly go out into the fields of Britain and do everything they could, within the law, to prevent the killing of British wildlife John founded the Hunt Saboteurs Association (H.S.A.).
The popularity of this new form of campaigning was instant. Just a year after the H.S.A. was founded, hunt saboteur groups were active across the English Westcountry in Devon, Somerset and Bristol. Groups also started to emerge outside of the Westcountry in places like Birmingham, Hampshire and Surrey.
Originally a single Devon-based group, the H.S.A. soon became a national network of dedicated activists using lawful methods to disrupt blood-junkies of Britain and to prevent the green and pleasant lands from literally becoming the killing fields.
And so it was, in 1971, as part of the ever-expanding H.S.A. network, a new hunt sab group was formed in Luton. The group was founded by a law student named Ronnie Lee. The Luton hunt sabs, like a lot of other hunt sab groups, soon became very successful in saving the lives of animals. Many a hunt soon found their sadistic days entertainment ruined by the Luton Gang.
However, despite the success of the Luton hunt sabs in the field, it soon became apparent to some people within the groups that the strictly legal actions of the H.S.A. could only ever go so far to preventing animal suffering. The problem was that if a hunt is allowed to be active, no matter how good a hunt sab group may be, there is a chance that an animal may be harmed or killed.
Even if the sabs do manage to prevent an animal from being killed, the fear the animal goes through whilst being hunted is tremendous. Contemporary vet reports, gathered at the end of the 20th century, have revealed animals do suffer incredible stress whilst being hunted.
It was out of this recognition (that strictly legal hunt sabotage couldn t totally prevent the suffering of an animal) that Ronnie Lee and a few close friends started to look around for other ways to help prevent suffering. They realized that the only real way to prevent any sort of suffering is to assure that the hunt is never allowed to become active in the first place. As soon as an animal is being chased, she is psychologically suffering as she fears for her life. Therefore she has to be assured that the chase is never allowed to start in the first place. With this aim in mind, Ronnie Lee, Cliff Goodman and possibly two or three other people, decided to form the Band of Mercy in 1972.
The name the Band of Mercy was chosen because it had been the name of an earlier animal liberation direct action group. During the 19th century, an anti-slavery activist named Catherine Smithies had set up a youth wing to the RSPCA called the Bands of Mercy. By and large these youth groups were just normal young supporters of the RSPCA who told stories of heroic animal deeds and who took oaths of compassion to the animals. However some of these young Victorian animal rights activists were a little more zealous than others and went around sabotaging hunting riffles. The activities of the Victorian Bands of Mercy became so great that there was even a theatrical play written during which a group of children sabotages a hunting riffle.
For Ronnie Lee and his companions the Victorian Bands of Mercy were a fine example of direct action, so they decided to adopt their not-strictly-legal approach to saving lives.
Initially, the Band of Mercy concentrated on small actions directed against the hunt during the cub- hunting season. Cub hunting is when young hounds are taught to tear young fox cubs apart in order for the hound to get the taste for killing.
The initial actions of the Band of Mercy were very simple and were basically designed around the idea of disabling the hunt vehicles in order to slow down or even stop the hunt from carrying out its murderous activities.
However, the Band of Mercy was very clear from the beginning that it was not merely carrying out acts of wanton vandalism against those whom they opposed but instead their actions were designed around the idea of active compassion . To this aim the Band would always leave a message to the hunters explaining why the Band had carried out their actions, the logic of animal liberation and to show that there was nothing personal against any one individual person.
The success of the Band of Mercy was soon clear. By carrying out illegal direct action, the Band was able to prevent the hunts. By preventing the hunts from ever becoming active, the Band was safe in the knowledge that not only have they saved the lives of innocent animals, but they had also prevented the psychological suffering of the chase .
Recognizing their true potential for the prevention of animal suffering, the Band then started to think about ways to expand and develop their campaigns. Following on from their early successes the Band soon became much more daring. Towards the end of 1973, the Band learnt about the construction of a new vivisection laboratory. The research laboratory was being built near Milton Keynes for a company called Hoechst Pharmaceutical.
Having learnt about its existence, two of the Band s activists visited the vivisection lab building sight a few times whilst trying to decide the best course of action to be taken. Together these activists realized that if they could prevent the building from ever being completed, then they could prevent the suffering of animals destined to be tortured within its four walls. The Band had to assure the construction could never be finished and eventually decided that the best way to destroy the construction was through the use of arson.
By destroying the building, the Band would prevent the vivisectors from ever being able to start their brand of sadistic science . And even if the damage caused by the fire could be repaired, the restoration work would all cost money that would have to be paid for by Hoechst Pharmaceutical (thus meaning less money to spend on torturing animals).
On November 10th, 1973, the Band of Mercy conducted its first ever action against the vivisection industry. Two activists gained access into the half completed building at Milton Keynes. Once inside the activists set fire to the building. This action was a double watershed for the movement as it was not only the Band s first action against the vivisection industry it was also the Band s first use to arson.
In that first fire an amazing 26,000 worth of damage was caused. More incredible was six days later, the Band of Mercy returned and started another fire in the same building causing a further 20,000 damage.
To make sure everyone knew why the building was set alight, the Band of Mercy sent a message to the press. The statement read
The building was set fire to in an effort to prevent the torture and murder of our animal brothers and sisters by evil experiments. We are a non-violent guerrilla organization dedicated to the liberation of animals from all forms of cruelty and persecution at the hands of mankind. Our actions will continue until our aims are achieved .
After the Milton Keynes arson, the next major action occurred in June 1974 when the Band turned its attention to the bloody seal cull of the Wash along the Norfolk coast.
The seal cull was an annual event and involved hunters going out in two Home Office licensed boats and butchering seals. Seal culling is a bloody attack and the seal has no hope of escape. Knowing how sick the seal cull is the Band obviously wanted to prevent the cull from ever starting. With the goal of preventing the cull from ever starting and regarding the success in the use of arson in the November 1973 action, the Band once again decided to use arson as a campaign tool to destroy the tools of animal murder.
In June 1974 the Band of Mercy set out their second major action. Under the cover of darkness, two activists sought out the Home Office licensed boats. Having found the boats, these transporters of death were then set alight. One of the boats was sadly only slightly damaged by the fire the other however, was totally destroyed.
After conducting this June 1974 action, the Band of Mercy decided that this time they wouldn t leave a message claiming responsibility. Instead they wanted to leave the sealers wondering what on earth had happened, if those responsible would return and if someone else provided two new boats, if these new vessels would meet with the same fiery fate.
That year there was no seal cull at all due to the actions of the Band of Mercy. Also, besides totally halting the seal cull for that year, there was another knock on effect. Because of the fire, the owner of the two Home Office licensed boats went out of business. And having seen one person s business totally destroyed by the actions of these anonymous arsonists, no one was keen to invest the money into a new business that might very well go the same way. Because of this fear no one has ever attempted to re-start a seal culling business and there has never been a seal cull at the Wash since. Because of the actions of two activists, countless numbers of seals have been saved from the bloody annual seal cull.
Looking back on the June 1974 action it is clear for everyone to see that what happened was an amazing success. Not only were de facto seals saved at the time, but generations of seals to come have also been saved from the seal cullers. Sadly, however, despite the fact the Band of Mercy was saving lives and preventing suffering, not everyone in the animal liberation movement approved of their tactics.
In July 1974 a member of the Hunt Saboteurs Association offered a reward of 250 for information that would inform upon the Band of Mercy. Speaking on behalf of the local sab group the person represented, the spokesperson told the press, We approve of their ideals, but are opposed to their methods.
How anyone can say they approve of a person s ideals and then side against them by offering a reward for their capture is a total mystery. Fortunately, despite this act of treachery, the Band of Mercy had by now realized its power. By performing illegal actions the Band was able to directly save the lives of animals by destroying the tool of torture and death. Even if the weaker members of the movement rejected the Band s ideas, the Band realized its work had to continue. To stop would be to let the animals down.
Following the anti-seal action the Band of Mercy then launched its first intensive wave of campaigning against the vivisection industry. In the months leading up to the action at the Wash, the Band of Mercy had been able to gather some inside information about vivisection laboratory animal suppliers. All of this information was gathered and stored, waiting for the day it could be used to its fullest effect. And so it was, that following the action at the Wash, the Band was able to launch straight into a wave of actions against the vivisection industry.
Between June and August 1974 the Band of Mercy launched eight raids against vivisection lab animal suppliers. The main emphasis of the actions was to cause economic sabotage by either damaging buildings or vehicles. But the Band also reached another landmark in their history by carrying out their first-ever animal rescue during this period.
The first Band of Mercy animal rescue happened in Wiltshire in the English Westcountry. A guinea pig farm was targeted and the activists managed to rescue half a dozen of the inmates. Besides being a landmark action for being the first Band of Mercy animal rescue, the action also produced an unexpected but very welcome outcome. The guinea pig farm owner was so shaken by the raid she began to fear that more activists would turn up during the night. With such a fear of the masked strangers breaking into her home, this uncaring capitalist who profited from animal torture took the only course of sensible action ? she closed her business.
Besides targeting the vivisection industry, the Band of Mercy also continued to take actions against the hunt. But not wanting to limit their actions to just two forms of animal abuse, the Band also targeted chicken breeders and the firearm lobby. In July 1974, a gun shop in Marlborough was attacked and damaged. The original Victorian Bands of Mercy could surely be proud that their great deeds were being continued in a twentieth-century form.
For a small group of friends, consisting of less than half a dozen activists, the Band of Mercy was able to make a tremendous impact against the a
animal abusers and their presence was truly feint. Sadly, however, the Band of Mercy s luck ran out in August 1974.
In August 1974 the Band of Mercy targeted Oxford Laboratory Animal Colonies in Bicester. The first action was a success. But then the Band of Mercy made the mistake of returning to O.L.A.C. two days late (I should point out its very easy with hindsight to say it was a mistake to return, but back then it was a perfectly logical action). It was on this second raid the activists, Ronnie Lee and Cliff Goodman, were spotted by a security guard. After being spotted the police were called and Ronnie and Cliff were promptly arrested.
If the police had hoped that the arrests would bring an end to the Band of Mercy, they were very mistaken. The arrest of Ronnie Lee and Cliff Goodman gave a fresh wave of publicity to the Band of Mercy. Rather than being regarded as terrorists, many people viewed the Band as heroes. These two young men were seen as a sort of latter day Robin Hood for the animals. Ronnie and Cliff were soon canonized as the Bicester Two. Throughout the hearing daily demonstrations took place outside the court. Support for the Bicester Two was very strong and came from the most unlikely of quarters. Even Ronnie Lee s local Member of Parliament, the Free Church Minister Ivor Clemitson, joined in the campaign for their release.
Despite the strong public support for the Bicester Two, both Ronnie Lee and Cliff Goodman were given three years imprisonment. A letter published in the Daily Telegraph shows the anger felt at the outcome of the first animal liberation trial.
Many would sympathize with their action against the utterly diabolical and largely unnecessary form of cruelty involved in animal experimentation. These young men, while defying the law, showed great courage, and the sentences of three years imprisonment seems unrealistic and harsh.
Now, it is said you can t keep a good Animal/Earth liberation activist down. This is certainly true in the case of Ronnie Lee. After the sentencing, Ronnie and Cliff split up. Ronnie was moved to Winchester prison and Cliff went back to Oxford prison (whilst on remand both Ronnie and Cliff were inmates of Oxford prison).
At Winchester prison Ronnie discovered that provisions for vegans in prison were less than desirable. So once at Winchester, to try and assure a decent meal and proper vegan clothing Ronnie went on a hunger strike. This hunger strike gained a great deal of media attention and once again the issue of animal liberation was being openly discussed. With the spotlight once again being focused on animal liberation Ronnie soon expanded
his hunger strike demands to include issues revolving around Porton Down, the Government s chemical and biological warfare research station, where horrific animal experimentation goes on.
The media focus about the hunger strike was spectacular. With all the much-unwanted attention, Winchester prison soon had to back down and supply Ronnie with his vegan provisions. Sadly the same outcome did not occur for Porton Down. In tactical manipulation to assure the media spotlight did not cause the Ministry of Defense any embarrassment, all of the media attention was focused on Ronnie himself, even though it wasn t what he wanted. So it was, that in recognition that the media was moving the debate from animal abuse and onto the hunger strike, Ronnie decided to end his protest.
Sadly, despite Ronnie setting such a good example whilst in prison, the other activists in the Band of Mercy brought the Band to an almost grinding halt whilst the Bicester Two were jailed. The only major event to take place during the time of the Bicester Two s imprisonment was in 1975.
In 1975 Mike Huskisson managed to rescue two beagles from I.C.I. The beagles were being used in tobacco smoking experiments and were appropriately labeled as the smoking beagles . Mike was arrested for the action and charged with burglary. However, knowing how much public support there had been for the Bicester Two, I.C.I. bottled out of a trial fearing the adverse publicity. This meant Mike was acquitted of the charges, I.C.I. was revealed to carry out pointless animal testing and the Bicester Two were given moral boost by Mike s action.
Both Cliff Goodman and Ronnie Lee only served a third of their sentence and were both paroled after 12 months in the spring of 1976.
Being in jail had effected both of the Bicester Two, but in totally different ways. Cliff Goodman came out of prison with just one thought he didn t want to go back inside. He decided he wasn t a revolutionary and wanted to stick to strictly legal campaigning in the future. Sadly, whilst in prison, Cliff decided to turn informer and gave the police a great deal of information about the use of radios by the Band of Mercy. For this act of treachery, Cliff was given the title of the movements first grass (police informer).
Ronnie, on the other hand, was given a new sense of determination and realized there was widespread public support for animal liberation illegal direct action. Whilst in prison Ronnie read widely on the subject of the labor movement. With this knowledge and his pure determination, he started to plan a more revolutionary animal liberation group, a group that could indeed achieve animal liberation.
All the time Ronnie was imprisoned he was reminded of the animals that are imprisoned. Unlike human prisoners, these animal inmates have no release date . All that await them are suffering and death. Whilst locked up Ronnie was reminded about how defenseless the animals are and how they need someone to stand up and fight on their behalf. Being imprisoned in a cage, like the animals Ronnie was so determined to help, gave him a new sense of solidarity and understanding. Above all, it made him even more determined to fight for animal liberation.
Upon his release Ronnie gathered together the remains of the Band of Mercy. He was also able to find a couple dozen more new recruits for the illegal direct action animal liberation movement. Under Ronnie s gaze the new gathering (of approximately 30 people) was able to plan its future. With Ronnie as a leading light, the group could develop and expand the work of the Band of Mercy. This was a revolutionary group and everyone knew it.
The only problem for the group was the name the Band of Mercy. The name was no longer appropriate. It didn t fit the new revolutionary feel. A new name was needed. A name that would haunt the animal abusers. A name who s very mention could symbolize a whole ideology of a revolutionary movement. A name that was more than a name. With all this in mind Ronnie selected the name the Animal Liberation Front ? the A.L.F.

We've warily gotten on the overalls bandwagon and considered casting our support to the shirt-around-waist look, but three of our favorite stars may have finally attempted a trend we just can't get behind: Denim so low it exposes what's underneath.
RELATED PHOTOS: Obsessed or hot mess? You decide about these bold star looks!
Just when it seemed like guys were getting over the "saggy pants and boxers" look, it appears that Hollywood's leading ladies have adapted the style for themselves. Mila Kunis picked a pair of low-riders that grazed her green undergarments; Shailene Woodley seems to have purposely paid tribute to Mark Wahlberg and Brooke Shields (clearly, nothing gets between her and her Calvins) and Kristen Stewart exposed a surprisingly girly pair of striped and flowered panties while sporting a pair of seriously baggy boyfriend jeans.
We weren't into "whale tail" the first time around and so have a hard time finding this look particularly attractive, but maybe (like overalls, shirts-around-waists and velvet skater dresses) this will grow on us over time. Tell us: Do you find exposed undies sexy, or are you dying to pull up these stars' pants?

TOWN OF NEWBOLD, Wis.—Officials say a sheriff's deputy's pursuit of a vehicle in Oneida County ended when the driver shot and killed himself.
Family members of the man were concerned about his safety and asked the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department for help. That department contacted Oneida County and a deputy on patrol in the Town of Newbold spotted the man's vehicle shortly before 11 p.m. Monday.
The driver fled at a high rate of speed and the deputy pursued. Authorities say the vehicle eventually stopped and the armed driver stepped out and took his own life.

UTICA, NY—Buffalo State (4-4/2-3) scored three touchdowns in a span of one minute and 21 seconds in the fourth quarter to pull away for a 34-19 victory over host Utica (3-4/1-3) in an Empire 8 game today at Charles A. Gaetano Stadium.
Buffalo State quarterback Casey Kacz (Amherst/Sweet Home) finished 19 of 31 for 276 yards with a pair of passing touchdowns and ran for another. Mike Doherty (Tonawanda/Kenmore East) had six catches for 103 yards and a touchdown, and Isaiah Clarke (Brooklyn/Grand Street) caught four passes for 73 yards and a score. Junior running back Rich Pete (Utica/TR Proctor) had 15 carries for 72 yards and a touchdown. Shaq Frederick (Brooklyn/Holy Cross) led the Bengals defense with 14 tackles, including 12 solo stops.
Utica quarterback Connor Butkiewicz was 27 of 49 for 232 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. Ryan Burnett was the Pioneers leading rusher with 15 carries for 77 yards and touchdown.
Utica opened the scoring with the only points of the first quarter on a 22-yard field goal by Thomas Woodburn on a drive that was extended by a roughing the punter call on the Bengals.
Buffalo State took the lead early in the second quarter after Chris Hall's (Pasadena, CA/St. Francis) fourth interception of the season gave the Bengals the ball at the Pioneers' 19-yard line. Buffalo State punched it in five plays later on a 1-yard keeper by Kacz to take a 7-3 lead.
On the ensuing possession, Buffalo State was too aggressive on special teams again, extending another Utica drive with a second roughing the punter penalty. The Pioneers took advantage again, connecting on back-to-back long passes, including a 25-yards touchdown strike from Butkiewicz to Jamie Murphy.
On the final play of the first half, the Bengals' special teams atoned for earlier miscues, blocking a 37-yard Woodburn field goal try, leaving the deficit 10-7 at the intermission.
After a 38-yard field goal by Woodburn opened the second-half scoring, Buffalo State reclaimed the lead at 14-13 on an 11-yard touchdown run by Pete, which was set up by a 32-yard pass from Kacz to Billy Joiner (Rochester/John Marshall).
Utica struck next, capitalizing on another Bengals' penalty, a third-down pass interference call that sustained another drive and ultimately led to a 22-yard scoring run by Burnett on a draw play on a third-and-9. The Pioneers went for a two-point conversion, but the pass attempt was broken up in the end zone, leaving the score 19-14 with 11:42 remaining.
Buffalo State took over from there, however, taking the lead for good on its next possession with a 27-yard touchdown pass from Kacz to Clarke. Then on the first play after a Utica three-and-out, Kacz looked to the air again, connecting with Doherty for a 58-yard catch and run down the right side line for the score.
Just 15 seconds later, on Utica's next offensive play from scrimmage, Buffalo State struck again, when Eddie Weiser (Grand Island/Grand Island) forced a fumble, scooped it up and took it 16 yards to the house to push the lead to 34-19 with 7:05 remaining.
Mitchell Thomas (Buffalo/Sweet Home) came up with a late interception for Buffalo State in its own territory to thwart any hopes of late heroics by the Pioneers.
Buffalo State will visit Harwick for a 1 p.m. kickoff in more Empire 8 play next Saturday.

About Salt & Pepper Shakers
Salt and pepper shakers usually come in a set of two separate structures, but sometimes they can come in the form of one dual dispenser. The shakers serve to dispense salt or pepper in small amounts on the desired food. Usually the holes for pouring can be found on the top of the container, but unique designs feature the holes at the bottom of the container to be released by grinding the spice by hand. Salt and pepper shakers are necessary for spicing food to the individual's desired amount, but also for display on the table. Whether it is on a kitchen table or dining room table, salt and pepper shakers are important items.
Salt and pepper shakers can be made of a variety of materials, from lightweight plastic to durable wood. These materials are ideal for salt and pepper shakers used on a daily basis. More sophisticated designs are made of crystal, glass, or 925 Sterling Silver. The fancier salt and pepper sets should be reserved for fancy occasions such as Shabbat or other holiday dinners.
Salt and pepper shakers come in many different designs. The shakers can range from simple solid or clear colored containers to elaborate designs. Creative designs include birds, flowers, and other nature images. Judaica salt and pepper shakers display Jewish themes such as pomegranates, Star of David, or Jerusalem designs. Jerusalem salt and pepper shakers display the skyline of the holy city and the walls of the Kotel. Salt shakers are especially important for the celebration of Shabbat, as it is tradition to put salt on the loaves of Challah bread.
A unique decoration for salt and pepper shakers is to design the two shakers in a shape in which they can be placed together as one structure on the table. Yair Emanuel designed salt and pepper shakers come in a ying and yang wave shape so they can easily fit together, but also have the option to be separated for individual use.
