Season 7 of How I Met Your Mother aired during the 2011-2012 television season (September 2011 to May 2012). The season premiered on September 19, 2011, with two back-to-back episodes and ended on May 14, 2012 with a two-part finale. It had 24 episodes, from The Best Man to The Magician's Code - Part Two.
SynopsisThe first episode returns once more to Barney's wedding. Barney is nervous, and wonders whether he has made the right choice about his tie (who he is marrying). Ted reminds Barney that his wedding cannot possibly be as terrible as Punchy's wedding, which Marshall ruined. Marshall and Lily were trying to hide Lily's pregnancy, but found it difficult because of the number of cute babies at the wedding, Robin (with Lily's help) considered telling Barney that her feelings for him had arisen again. Marshall and Lily ended up telling the gang that they are pregnant, and Ted delivered his best man speech, only to have Marshall accidentally point out that Punchy's wife is pregnant.
Marshall was about to get a job at Honeywell & Cootes, but when he finds a video of himself streaking in college, he wonders whether it will affect his chances of getting this job. In the end, the video doesn't bother Garrison Cootes. Meanwhile, Barney gets Nora to agree to go on another date with him, but he lies to her about breaking his neck (to get sympathy), but Nora sees straight through it. He then vows never to lie to her again, and he is forced to tell her every single lie he has told girls to get them to sleep with him. When Nora leaves, Barney vows not to leave the 24 hour diner until he gets a second date to show how serious he is. Nora returns over 9 hours later, and is humbled by Barney's persistence. Ted has an article in New York magazine, and uses that to find a date for the Architects' Ball, but ends up taking Robin. At the ball, Ted sees Victoria for the first time since Season 1.
When at Shinjitsu, Ted tells the gang about his encounter with Victoria. Robin makes awkward comments, but then Ted tries to make amends with her by cleaning her dishes at the bakery. The gang thinks this means they slept together, but then Ted reveals that she is engaged, and she was only single for a day and a half after breaking up with Ted, before she started dating Klaus, her fiance, and Ted gets angry at her. Marshall and Lily make a bet with Barney that he can not perform Shinjitsu. If he could, he could touch Lily's breasts, but if he loses, he has to wear Marshall's ducky tie. He ends up losing this bet just before he can do the 'Shrimp in the Pocket' because Lily flashes him, causing him to lose his concentration.
Robin is forced to attend court mandated therapy after she assaulted a woman who fell for a scam that Barney forgot to stop running when he started dating Nora. She was telling her therapist that she was getting sick of Barney's romantic gestures to Nora, so when Nora went to France to cover a story, she was planning to use those three days to try to get Barney back, but the plan fails when Nora comes back early. Meanwhile, Ted gets too involved with Lily's pregnancy, when he interferes with what their doctor tells her what she can and can't eat and drink. Marshall ends up siding with Ted, and Lily becomes mad at Marshall. Marshall and Ted end up going to a birthing class, without Lily. Later, Ted admits to Marshall that he feels like he is lagging behind his friends; he thought he would have been married with kids alongside Marshall and Lily. They decide to leave the class to apologize to Lily. Ted puts a sock on the doorknob, and leaves, signifying that he will no longer meddle in their pregnancy.
Marshall finds out that his boss has given up on saving the environment and thinks that it is too late to save the planet. He makes him realizes that it isn't. When Nora says that she hates Ewoks, Barney thinks that she is 37, not 29, because he thinks anyone younger than 37 would like Ewoks. He was eventually proven wrong. Robin starts to date her therapist, and the gang find it creepy. Ted takes his "Intro to Architecture" class on a Field Trip, but it doesn't go as planned.
Ted tries to go on a date with a girl without looking her up on the internet, but ends up looking her up when Barney sends him a link to her website, on his date with her. Lily and Marshall decide not to find the sex of their baby and ask Barney, Robin and Kevin to help them paint the baby's room, but they end up finding out that their baby is a boy.
Kevin helps the gang realize that their partners remind them on their their parents, ruining Lily and Marshall's night. Barney finally wants to do the deed with Nora, but a series of unfortunate events leaves his chances slim. He then realizes that Nora, too, reminds him of his mom, but he does end up turning the night around.
After ten years of searching, Ted finally finds The Slutty Pumpkin, but realizes that she is not as perfect as he hoped. Meanwhile Barney finds out that he is one-quarter Canadian.
The gang reminisce about Hurricane Irene and Barney gets out of wearing the Ducky Tie by giving Marshall three extra slaps. While remembering how they almost kissed after Hurricane Irene, Barney and Robin end up kissing, and sleep together. Barney and Robin feel so guilty that they decide to tell their significant others. Barney tells Nora he cheated and they break up. But when Robin is about to tell Kevin, he tells her that he loves her and doesn't want to hear it. This leaves Barney distraught and heartbroken.
Barney and Ted decide to adopt a baby together as bros, because of their failed romantic lives, but their plan fails. Marshall and Lily decide to move to the suburbs. Robin tells Barney that she is pregnant. Marshall gets some help with the Christmas lights by his neighbor Scott, that turns out scamming him and using his house for a party. Robin finds out that she's not pregnant, nor can she ever have kids.
On New Years Day, Marshall takes a trip to Minnesota to visit his father's gravestone. He tells his dad about the gang's New Years Eve events, which include Barney and Ted opening their bar, Puzzles, Marshall and Lily decorating their house up in Long Island, and Robin temporarily taking Sandy's place in reporting the New Year's Eve/Day countdown.
Marshall and Lily officially move to the their house in the suburbs, where they find Lily's dad Mickey not wanting to move out. After putting up with him for two weeks, Marshall finally snaps and tells Mickey to move out. Meanwhile, Ted finds himself missing Marshall and Lily, while Barney embraces being the new leader of the group. At the end they decide to go to Long Island and be with Marshall and Lily.
On a weekend trip to Vermont, Kevin proposes to Robin. She knows that she loves him, and she tells him that she can not have and doesn't want children, but Kevin still wants to marry her. But after Robin says that he might regret this in the future, he ends things with her. Barney likes a girl named Quinn, and Ted tells Robin that he loves her. However, Robin says that she doesn't reciprocate his feelings, and she later moves out of the apartment, for the sake of Ted.
Barney pursues Quinn even after he finds that she is a stripper; she takes advantage of him at first, but they have coffee together later. Ted gives the apartment to Marshall and Lily which they gladly accept, being bored of their life in the suburbs.
Barney and Quinn move in together, Robin is promoted to Sandy Rivers' co-host and Ted sublets Quinn's apartment.
Lily has a provocative dream about someone other than Marshall, but he accepts it and tells her she is only attracted to great dads, which re-assures her. Ted moves in to his new apartment and enjoys being alone, and doing whatever he likes, but Barney wants him to go out with him every night. Robin is put on traffic for World Wide News and while she is in the air, the pilot suffers a stroke. In a moment where everyone in New York is watching, she lands the helicopter successfully, and the pilot makes a full recovery. She is finally known at World Wide News, and becomes a famous news reporter. In the span of that week, she went on Letterman, met the mayor, and had a sandwich named in her honor.
Barney tells Ted that the only reason he needs to be out every night is because he needs to take his mind off of what Quinn is doing, which is being a stripper.
Ted and Robin mend their friendship while helping Lily until Marshall arrives. Robin suggests that Ted call Victoria, once Ted again laments about not being able to settle down. However, Victoria meets Ted, wearing a wedding dress; she is supposed to get married that day. She tells Ted that she was never able to stop thinking about him. She suggests that they drive into the sunset together, but Ted says that he is going to get her back to her wedding, as being left at the altar nearly killed him, and he wouldn't want her to do that to her fiancé. However, Ted changes his mind at the last minute, and drives away with her.
Marshall starts panicking once he realizes that the baby is on the way, so Lily asks Barney to take him for a trip in Atlantic City. However, Lily goes in labor while he is there. Marshall arrives back to New York just in time for the birth of his son, who he and Lily name Marvin Wait-for-it Eriksen, after Marshall's late father.
Barney regrets leaving for Atlantic City, while he and Quinn had a fight. He returns home to find his apartment all girly and pink, but Barney doesn't care as long as he still has Quinn, and they plan a romantic getaway to Hawaii. However, in Barney's suitcase is a box which he refuses to open, as he wants to use it for a magic trick. Barney and Quinn get held up by security. As a security guard questions Quinn, he asks her what her occupation is - to which she says she is unemployed. She says she wanted to surprise Barney when they were on their vacation, saying she quit stripping just for him. Afterward, Quinn is told she can leave but Barney must stay, but Barney tells her to wait and that he will finally reveal the magic trick. After an elaborate magic ploy, it is revealed that in the box was an engagement ring, which he uses to propose to Quinn and she accepts.
In the last scene of the season, our questions have been answered: Robin is revealed to be the bride at Barney's wedding.

That's what happened when the upstart field of psychology pushed its way into the bastions of psychiatry. Psychiatrists bristled at the intrusion. Psychologists of necessity submitted to psychiatric authority. Now, years later, psychologists vastly outnumber higher paid psychiatrists in many mental health niches, but as a profession we still have an inferiority complex. Thus, we let a single psychiatric association in the United States dictate how mental functioning and impairment are conceptualized.
As the chorus of critical voices over the American Psychiatric Association's poorly drawn draft DSM-5 manual grows ever louder, some are urging psychology to issue a formal opposition paper. For example, Stephen Diamond, a clinical and forensic psychologist in Los Angeles, writes in Psychology Today that our profession's apathy "is a big part of the problem":
While clinical psychology has to some extent leaped onto this same biological bandwagon driven by contemporary psychiatry, seeking prescription privileges, some psychologists and other non-medical mental health professionals have practically written off the value and importance of psychodiagnosis today -- in part precisely due to its inherent medicalization, biological bias, dehumanizing labeling, and notorious inaccuracy…. [I]t is time for the leadership of the American Psychological Association to take a far more active and public role in the revision and direction of the DSM-5…. What, if anything, [is] the American Psychological Association is doing about DSM-V? Or about the hypermedicalization of psychology?Allen Frances, the psychiatrist who chaired the DSM-IV task force, has become one of the most vocal critics of the manual's proposals. He too is calling on organized psychology to step up before it is too late. Taking his campaign directly to psychology and the general public, he hosts a "DSM5 in distress" column in the popular magazine Psychology Today that shines a spotlight by turn on various problematic aspects of the draft manual. In his recent call for an organized response from psychology, he writes that:
the American Psychiatric Association (APA) came to hold the DSM franchise only by historical accident…. Now that the DSMs have attained such importance, there have been repeated questions about the appropriateness of its continued sponsorship by more than just one professional organization…. The numerous problems that have bedeviled the development of DSM5 again raise the question whether the American Psychiatric Association should be sole steward of an official diagnostic system that impacts on all mental health disciplines…. Individual psychologists and the professional associations within psychology can play an important role in pointing the way forward for DSM5 and in protecting it from costly mistakes.Perilous forensic consequences
Frances is increasingly focusing on the monumental potential for negative and unintended consequences in the forensic realm of the proposed changes:
The most obviously detrimental suggestions are in the paraphilia section, where the proposed change to the definition of paraphilia and the likely suggestion to introduce a new diagnosis of "paraphilic coercive rapism" will greatly compound the significant mischief already initiated by a seemingly trivial change in DSM-IV. More generally, even small changes in wording can result in large forensic confusion once parsed by lawyers in their peculiarly rigorous and tendentious fashion. The wording of every suggested option in DSM5 needs careful review by forensic experts."DSM-5 sexual disorders make no sense"
In a more recent column, Frances specifically targets the Big 3 sexual disorders that I have extensively blogged about. Of all of the DSM-5 work groups, he writes:
the Sexual Disorders Work Group has strayed furthest off the reservation. It has made a series of radical and dangerous suggestions that need to be dropped.... Each of the Work Group's suggestions is based on the thinnest of research support-usually a handful of studies often done by members of the committee making the suggestion. None has been subjected to, or could possibly survive, anything resembling a serious risk/benefit or forensic analysis.As he points out, there are few researchers and little good research on sexuality. Consensus on the bounds of "normalcy" does not exist, and cultural bias plays a major role in what is defined as pathological (a point cogently made by Richard Green in his critique of the proposed hebephilia diagnosis). Especially important for my readers, "decisions regarding the diagnosis of sexual disorders can have profound and unanticipated forensic ... implications."
Regarding the three paraphilia proposals that will have the most impact in civil commitment proceedings in the United States, Frances had the following to say:
"Paraphilic Coercive Disorder"
This proposal was explicitly rejected for DSM IIIR and was given no serious consideration for DSM IV. The problem is the impossibility of reliably distinguishing between the small group of hypothesized "paraphilic" rapists (who would be given a mental disorder diagnosis) and the much larger group of rapists who are simple criminals."Hypersexuality Disorder"
The distinction has taken on huge significance because [of] SVP statutes mandating indefinite (usually in practice lifelong) inpatient civil psychiatric commitment for individuals who have (1) completed their prison sentence for a sexually violent crime, (2) have a diagnosed mental disorder, and (3) are deemed likely to repeat.... Although the SVP statutes have twice passed Supreme Court tests, they rest on questionable constitutional grounds and may sometimes result in a misuse of psychiatry.
Most disturbingly, an ad hoc and idiosyncratic suggested diagnosis -- Paraphilia Not Otherwise Specified -- has become a frequent justification for the psychiatric commitment of rapists who are really no more than simple criminals. Raising this diagnosis to official status would greatly compound this misuse of civil psychiatric commitment.
This is the strangest of constructs.... The fundamental problem with "hypersexuality" is that it represents a half baked, poorly conceptualized medicalization of the expected variability in sexual behavior.... The authors are trying to provide a diagnosis for the small group whose sexual behaviors are compulsive -- but their label would quickly expand to provide a psychiatric excuse for the very large group whose misbehaviors are pleasure driven, recreational, and impulsive. The offloading of personal responsibility in this way has already captured the public and media fancy and would spread like wildfire. Making an official mental disorder category of "hypersexuality" would also have serious unintended forensic consequences inthe evaluations of sexually violent predators (SVP)."Pedohebephilia"
This new category would extend the traditional definition of Pedophilia ... to include pubescent teenagers. Clearly, sex with underage teenagers is reprehensible and deserves appropriate punishment under the penal code. It is, however, anything but clear when (and if) sexual behaviors with teenagers should qualify as a mental disorder. This diagnosis would be subject to the same misuses in SVP cases as has been described above.With such widespread and vigorous opposition, it's hard to imagine these nutty proposals slipping into the DSM-5. But, stranger things have happened in the field of psychiatry.

DSM-5 and "Psychosis Risk Syndrome": Not Ready For Prime Time
Dr. Frances' latest piece, in Psychiatric Times, is on Psychosis Risk Syndrome, one of the scariest diagnostic proposals. If adopted, it would likely lead to a wave of false-positive errors in which teenagers are wrongly identified as future schizophrenics and placed on dangerous antipsychotic medications.

Oct. 25, 2008
SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. – Anne Doton had a pair of goals and added an assist for Mount Holyoke as the host Lyons defeated MIT, 4-1, in NEWMAC field hockey action on Saturday. With the loss, the Engineers fall to 5-12 on the season and 0-7 in conference play. The Lyons improve to 9-6 and 4-4 in the NEWMAC. Tech now needs a win in their season finale against Clark on Tuesday to qualify for the NEWMAC tournament.
Peggy Wefald opened the scoring for Mount Holyoke 14 minutes into the game when she redirected a shot by Mary Kate Switchenko past MIT goalkeeper Keri Dixon. Doton extended the lead in the 23rd minute on an unassisted goal. Just over four minutes later, Jess Fajardo received Doton's pass in front of the net and gave Mount Holyoke the 3-0 advantage.
Doton added her second goal eight minutes into the second half off of a penalty corner. Nirupama Yechoor put the Engineers on the board with just over 10 minutes to go, scoring off of a penalty corner on a pass from Ekavali Mishra. For the game, the Lyons held a 19-9 advantage in shots and had 10 penalty corners compared to six for Tech.
Dixon had eight saves in the losing effort. Mount Holyoke goalkeeper Allie Walsh made six saves to pick up the win.
MIT will host Clark on Tuesday, October 28, with the winner of that game advancing to the NEWMAC post-season tournament. Game time is at 6:00 p.m. Mount Holyoke has wrapped up their regular season and now await their first round match-up in the NEWMAC tournament, beginning next Saturday, November 1.

JOHN RUTTER Blessing Catrin Finch Download 4790852
Harp fans and choral music lovers will all find something to their tastes on the latest album from John Rutter and Catrin Finch . . .
A perfect combination of Catrin's sublime harp playing complemented by flute, oboe, the lush tones of Sinfonia Cymru, and music by John Rutter. Thanks to the emotive playing in meditations on "The Lord Bless You and Keep You", and "Gaelic Blessing", the poignant lyrics from Rutter's choral classics are implicit within the peaceful music. There's something intrinsically delicate about much of Rutter's music on the album, interspersed with traditional Welsh songs. A notable highlight is "Beth Yw'r Haf I Mi", arranged by Rutter, featuring a pared back duet between the harp and the dazzlingly pure tones of soprano Elin Manahan Thomas. Catrin Finch proves her worth as a notable composer-performer as her fingers dance over the notes in the opening movement of her lively "Celtic Concerto" . . . Rutter's trademark tunes are back in his latest compositional offering, Suite Lyrique. Lovers of choral gems such as "Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day" will enjoy the sprightly accented passages and skipping plucked orchestral strings in the Waltz . . . Striking a beautiful balance between choral nostalgia and fresh new compositions, this album showcases the talent of today's British musicians.

There's an investment strategy that Jim Cramercalls "one of the greatest, most reliable ways to make money out there."
"Own dividend paying stocks, " Cramer said.
Other investments may seem sexier but Cramer doesn't care. "Dividends make you money," Cramer said. "Since January 1926, roughly 40 percent of the return from the S&P 500 came from reinvested dividends. Never forget that."

Analysis of the goals conceded against Stoke City (11/12)
Follow me on Twitter – @WindyCOYS.
You can also hear me on The Fighting Cock podcast.
Etherington's first goal – a deflected Shotton cross loops up, and is helped on by Walters. Crouch controls it (with the help of his hand!), and squeezes the ball back across goal for Etherington to stab home.
Spurs clear the ball from a long throw-in, but Adebayor plays a one-two with Modric, and tries to dribble out with Stoke players converging around him.
He could turn back and play it safe, but he tries to press on, and eventually loses the ball.
Stoke get it wide, and work a two against one, with Shotton eventually getting clear.
Assou-Ekotto makes up ground well, and is able to half-block the cross, causing it to loop up into the air.
The ball is in the air for around three seconds and, personally, I think that Friedel should be coming to punch this away. Instead he leaves it for Gallas to battle it out with Walters – a battle that he struggled with all game.
Walters inevitably wins the flick on, and a better striker than Crouch, who has somehow ghosted into space over Kaboul's shoulder, would volley this home first time.
Instead,he awkwardly controls it on his arm, before Gallas gets a foot in and pushes him wide of goal.
In fairness to Crouch, he does well to keep the ball alive, and he squeezes it back across goal.
Kaboul and Walker between them should be able to clear this, but Etherington anticipates well.
He gets to the bounce of the ball before both of them, and prods the ball in.
Etherington's second goal – a Shotton long throw is helped on by Walters, and Etherington is again on hand to finish.
As Shotton prepares to take the throw-in,Spurs have ten players in the penalty area, against Stoke's City's four (with three just outside). The eventual goal-scorer, Etherington, is close to the edge of the box, between Modric and Bale.
As the ball is in the air, Walters gets up early (he has that Kevin Davies-like ability to hang), and Etherington makes his move towards the back post, anticipating a flick-on.
Parker has his eye on Etherington, and backs away to mark him.
Walters wins the header, and Parker just doesn't get close enough to Etherington to stop the ball dropping to him. The finish is quite fortuitous – he hits it into the ground, and it loops up over Friedel.
Overall, the first half was pretty poor from Spurs, but had the first goal been disallowed for handball, we would have gone in at 1-0. Redknapp was very pro-active at half-time, making two substitutions, and moving from a 4-4-1-1 to a 3-5-2. It worked well, with the team creating a number of excellent goal-scoring opportunities and good situations. On another day, the referee would have given us three penalties (the one we got, the hauling down of Kaboul, the handball on the line), and there could easily have been two red cards for Stoke as well – Woodgate committed a second bookable offence on the edge of the penalty area in the first half, and handball on the line is a red card offence too.
These kind of games will always happen, and I think it's important not to get too down-heated – the team battled back well in the second half, and did enough to get something from the game. Redknapp also deserves praise. I have long-criticised him for his lack of pro-active substitutions and tactical changes, but he made some bold moves yesterday. Bale had a stunning second half, and Modric/van der Vaart schemed behind the two forwards, with Adebayor frequently pulling over to the left and causing havoc with his good close control.
Tagged goal analysis, newsnow
352 looked good, players looked comfortable and like it's something they have been working hard on for a good amount of time, probably from the days when Harry was trying to sort out where to play Bale and has been saving it as a surprise tactic.
The hard part is the three at the back working together and they seemed to get it right, Bassong was the a question mark going into the second half and he looked solid once fully warmed up.
While I don't like to criticise refs even when you take out penalties, goals and red cards there was still an amazing amount of corners that were given as goal kicks or similar discrepencies.
Have the rules changed this year? I was under the impression that whenever Pater Crouch went up for the ball the opposition were supposed to get a free kick for backing in.
You say Benny did well to get a block on the cross for the first goal but to me he was sitting too narrow and should have been better positioned to close the player down. Of course a series of mistakes followed but if Benny had been tight on the player the cross wouldn't have come in in the first place. Then again had we played out safer before that it wouldn't have been a problem either. My point though is where you see praise for Benny getting across quickly I see poor positioning at fault for not being able to deny the player space to have got the cross in to begin with
Of course we should not get downhearted – we won the game didn't we (2-1 at least, plus however many of the penalties you think we would have scored)? The referee took it away from us is all. On that subject, no-one has mentioned how Shotton was able to get away with a towel stitched to the inside of his shirt. Towels have been banned, so on this alone the referee should be dismissed and Stoke heavily fined. Back to the football though, whilst we sorted oursleves out well for the second half, you have to ask why we were not prepared for the well known Stoke long throw tactic from the off. Very poor preparation in my view, and Harry should explain himself.
Chris Foy is rightly getting most of the blame for this defeat. His display was apalling. However, I haven't seen any major comment about the linesman. The same lino was involved in virtually all of the major errors, the Crouch handball, the Shawcross handball, the foul on Gallas, the foul on Kaboul, the disallowed goal, the corner given as a goal kick etc.
Whoever he was, he needs to be named and shamed and certainly removed from the Premier League list for a spell.
bonse – spot on, and I agree about Bassong, he did well in difficult circumstances.
Anon @ 11:30 – agree about BAE's initial positioning. Doesn't read the situation at all, and they end up with a 2v1. However, that is always possible when you lose the ball in the manner that we did.
Anon @ 11:42 – Yeah, not sure about this under-shirt towelling thing, I reckon there will be questions raised about that! TBH I'm sure they'll have cleared it with the FA first to cover themselves.
Anon @ 12:02 – Great point – was really poor officiating in general. Awful.
"Redknapp also deserves praise. I have long-criticised him for his lack of pro-active substitutions and tactical changes, but he made some bold moves yesterday."
I agree with this in regards to Harry's second half changes, but for starting the game he got it all wrong. He should have started with Sandro alongside Parker in the middle with Modric behind Adebayor. Everyone knows that Stoke is a physical team and two DMs would have slowed Stoke down, and worn them down, while still allowing the wings, Modric and Adebayor to counter attack. There were rumors that Sandro was injured before the match, but then why was he on the bench? At least put a fighter like Livermore in next to Parker. VdV and Defoe could have then been second half subs to keep the pressure on.

Anon @ 16:38 – I actually think Redknapp was right to stick to his guns and go with his attacking line-up and, had we defended properly, our lacklustre first half diplays would have taken us in at 0-0.
Frank – Thanks for the offer, but I am actually trying to reduce links rather than add them.
Anon @ 22:59 – Nice site. Re: route one, I didn't see too many long balls tbh. I thought we had the tactics spot on in the second half and, on another day where decisions went our way, could have scored four.
I still want to know why Hellboy stays rooted to his line. I think that in the long term Vroom seems a very good prospect. I was worried when Bassong was on, but have to say that he did well and the 3-5-2 was very exciting even if I don't think we should start with this. To bring in a discordant note, did anyone notice the following?
a) when Bale scored against Bolton, Defoe appeared to be disappointed that he did not touch the ball in;
b)Bale provided a great cross against Stoke in the second half, Adebayor steamed in at the near post and the goal was gaping, but Defoe has bizarrely followed in the same direction as Adebayor whereas i couldn't understand why he did not go towards the other side. He would have had a tap-in.
Sweetsman – hadn't noticed this against Bolton, but I think everyone noticed the miss on Sunday. Defoe was generally really poor IMO – took on some silly shots, and didn't make any incisive movement. Still could have had a goal, mind.
Actually, our defence tend to get sucked towards to play and leave a gap in the middle of the box. Both goals had the same issue and both times Etherington waited for the inevitable opportunity.
Clearly, I share your opinion about Defoe. I wonder why he never seems to develop any semblance of spatial awareness, although this season he has been offside less than before.
Hi Windy!
Nick fowler/Ron Burgundy/Modfather here! Got banned from COYS when they found out who I was which was a shame, but an inevitable one.
Anyway, useful analysis as always. Interested to know your thoughts as to Townsend and Kane's performances on Thursday. Hope you're keeping well otherwise
Hello mate,
Good to hear from you – you should join TheFightingCock.co.uk's forum – there are plenty on there who are interested in talking about football only, although plenty also who are purely seeking banter.
I thought Townsend, in patches, was oustanding. In the second I wanted to see him go on the outside more but, from what I gather, it was an emotional day for the family, which may have got to him: http://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/Sport/Cheshunt-set-to-remember-Kurtis-15122011.htm
In light of that, it was great that he got such a special goal.
I thought Kane was really positive when he came on – showed good touch (again) and took his chance well.
What did you think?
Love this blog Windy, the analysis of the goals is great. Think you let Gallas off a bit lightly on the first goal though against Stoke. He was a bit Schoolboyish in defending against Crouch and I felt it hit his hand first before Crouch clearly handballed it.
Kaboul was caught ball watching but it was partly down to shock of how poor Gallas was at defending the first part.
Thank you, Show Pony! Agreed, Gallas could have done a lot better against a player he knows well. Should have stopped him getting the ball across.
Interesting comment about Gallas, with the PAOK display and the Stoke display I was getting a more concerned by him than when Bassong came on. It was his intelligence and anticipation I always liked rather than the power/speed side of the game, so rare yet every decent defence needs one. Because of this I've never been concerned with his age, but to see him play without this awareness did give me pause for thought, it's not like playing with a thigh strain for instance.
This lack of game sharpness may well be lack of games, and while I prefer the friendlies on demand system rather than the regular reserve team punch up, it only benefits us if we can organise enough friendlies.
Also we seem to have entered the part of the year where it's cold enough for Pav to play his natural game.
It's appropriate time to make some plans for the future and it's time to be happy.
I've read this post and if I could I wish to suggest you some interesting things or tips.
Maybe you could write next articles referring to this article.
I desire to read even more things about it!

Sacramento, CA: Top Things to Know About Storage
The Essentials
You can use StorageFront to search 188 facilities and counting. With so many options, there's something for everyone.

The Essentials
You can use StorageFront to search 188 facilities and counting. With so many options, there's something for everyone. A lot of other Californians might unfavorably compare Sacramento to cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego, but we in the storage industry are thankful that Sacramento does its own thing. Those 188 storage facilities offer an estimated 103,400 individual units which is plenty of space for a population of 485,199. You know what else is awesome about the cost of living and the cost of storage in Sactown (Sorry, but we'll never get used to calling it that.)? For the price of a tiny studio apartment and a tiny storage unit in San Francisco you can live and store like a king in Sacramento. Rental prices on apartments in Sacramento may be above the national average, but they're well below the California average. Storage unit prices in Sacramento are at or below the national average. In Sacramento a one bedroom apartment will run you a little over $1,000 a month and a 5x5 unit will cost you around $50 a month (but you can find them for as cheap as $25 a month). Compare that to a $2,000 a month apartment and an $87 5x5 unit in Los Angeles and a $3,000 a month apartment and a $121 5x5 unit in San Francisco and it's easy to see why living and storing in Sacramento is easy. You can afford a bigger apartment and you can afford storage.
Urban Wine Storage in Urban Wine Country
Forget about Napa and Sonoma. Sacramento has its own wine scene and it's a lot less pretentious. There are a wealth of wine bars inside the city where you can trade your after work beer for a super classy glass of pinot noir. If a trip to Frasinetti Winery, the oldest vineyard in town, or Scribner Bend Vineyards on the Sacramento River has inspired you to start your own collection, you apartment complex's lack of old timey wine cellar might leave something to be desired as far as wine storage goes. Fortunately, many storage facilities in Sacramento offer wine storage. When storing your wine, make sure that you choose a unit that's cool and sheltered from direct sunlight. Storage units are inherently free from direct sunlight, so you don't have to sweat that last one. It's the temperature component you'll want to consider. Wine shouldn't be stored in an environment above 70 degrees unless you want it to taste pretty weird at your next dinner party. Climate-controlled storage solves this issue pretty nicely. Just make sure you're storing at a place that understands the complexity of wine storage. Blasting air conditioning isn't the solution as colder air isn't great for wine either. Anything below 55 degrees is probably too cold, though wine experts will have varying opinions on how different temperatures affect different types of wine. Also make sure when storing wine that you don't stack boxes too high as jostling (Pesky earthquakes!) and glass generally don't pair as well as chianti and pasta.
Don't Listen to the Summertime Haters
Because of Sacramento's location, it's hot. We won't bore you with the long, scientific explanation, but basically the mountains prevent most of that cool coastal air from reaching the city. Any kind of breeze that does make it is heated up and trapped in the valley. Hence, it's hot. But how hot is it, really? Over 70 days a year see temps of over 90, about 14 of which are over 100. The long summer days peak in July at about 14 hours of sunlight a day, which is great news for anyone who just invested in a new pair of Ray-Ban Wayfarers, but bad news for anyone looking for a break from those sizzling rays. The city's massive urban forest (there are more than 450 types of trees) does a great job of keeping you cool, but what about the items in your storage unit? If you're storing year round, you'll want to choose a unit with climate control in order to prevent damage to items that are susceptible to the effects of heat. This typically includes electronics and furniture made of leather and antique wood.
Awesomeness in Either Direction and 24 Hour Storage
Drive east of Sacramento and you'll be at the incredible Lake Tahoe where you can ski all winter, float your boat on the iconic bright blue water all summer and practice your poker face at nearby Nevada casinos. Drive west of the city and you can explore the Pacific coastline. If you're someone who utilizes storage on a weekly basis or you're storing an RV, boat or vehicle that you use for these California adventures, consider choosing a facility that's open 24 hours a day so that access to to your storage unit doesn't cramp your style.
Storage FAQ's
What options do I have for payments? What forms of payment do you accept?
Most storage facilities accept cash, credit cards, or checks. Always ask about autopay, it's faster and much more convenient.
What access will I have to my belongings?
You have 94 facilities to choose from in Sacramento. Access hours range from 8 to 24 hours a day. Please contact your local facility for more specific information about your unit.
Will the company have access to my space?
No, no one in the storage facilities has access to your space unless you specifically ask them or give them the right to do so. For example, you may want them to have access to your unit for things you may want delivered directly to your unit.
Do you have different policies and prices for students or active military members?
Students and active military members are clients that have unique needs because of the nature of their schedules. Most storage facilities in Sacramento offer discounts to students, and discounts and different policies for active military members. Please call your local facility or see our students and active military members pages to get detailed and updated information.
Do you sell boxes and moving supplies?
Yes, most storage facilities sell boxes of various sizes, tape, bubble wrap, labels, and other items for your packing and moving needs.
What are the prices of the storage spaces? Are prices based on the square footage of the storage space?
Generally the prices of storage units in Sacramento vary based on the size of the storage unit and the location of the unit in the facility. Prices range between 1.0 and 1955.0, but representatives can better assist you once they have the details of your storage needs.
Do you have advice on how to pack my storage space?
Yes, storage managers can provide you with tips and techniques on how to most efficiently utilize your storage space. Their hope is that you can have easy access to your items and that your storage space is worth every penny of your money.
Can I rent climate-controlled spaces in Sacramento?
Yes, climate-controlled spaces are available in Sacramento due to the varying weather. Temperatures range from 42.8 to 46.4, which can dramatically affect things in your storage unit. For storing items such as wine, wooden items, electronics, metals, artwork, etc. storage facilities recommend that you rent a climate-controlled unit. For questions and more details, please contact a local facility.
Do I need insurance for my storage unit?
We recommend that you get insurance for your belongings because the contents of the units are not insured through storage facilities.
What security measures are taken to protect the storage units?
Security is every storage operator's priority. Speak with the storage manager of a facility of your liking in Sacramento to find out what security measures they take to protect your belongings.
Do you provide your customers with movers?
No, storage facilities do not provide movers. However, managers and team members would be happy to provide you with a list of reliable and reasonably priced movers in Sacramento. See our resource guide for movers in Sacramento.
Do you have pest control?
Most facilities in Sacramento schedule professional pest control services every month, and twice a month during summer months.
How long is the lease and what are its terms?
Storage companies in Sacramento offer a month-to-month lease. If for some reason you would like to cancel your lease during a particular month, please contact one of the facility managers to assist you.
How do I know what size storage I need?
Storage managers would be happy to help you determine which size unit is best for you so that you're not paying for a 20' X 57' unit when you really need a 3' X 6' unit. Please reference our size guide for more information.
If I lose my key, can you provide another one?
No, storage facility employees do not have copies of the keys used for the units. If you lose your key, check with the facility for lock cutting fees. They may also be able to sell another lock and key to you.
Should I rent a drive-up or interior storage unit?
Drive-up storage units are typically more expensive and not as clean as interior units. Drive-up units are more exposed to the elements (water, dust, etc.) and are therefore not as clean as interior units. Interior units, on the other hand, have a much better climate. Essentially, the desire to rent a drive-up unit comes from clients thinking that they will be visiting their unit very frequently, which is surprisingly not the case. Most people don't come to their units as often as they think they will, so given the cost and cleanliness issues, it's better to rent an interior storage unit.
What if I need more or less space after I move in?
Once you move in and feel that you need to move into a smaller or bigger space, storage facilities are happy to accommodate your move. Before renting a space, it is recommended that you speak to a storage facility representative to help you find the best sized unit for your needs. If things change through the course of your lease, they will help make the transition to your next unit as efficient and simple as possible. We also have a size guide that may answer some preliminary questions you may have.
Do you accept deliveries for customers?
Most storage facilities in Sacramento accept deliveries for their customers so that they don't have to go through the process of moving every time they need something to be placed in their storage units. They will keep your items in the office and will inform you when they arrive so that you can place them in your storage unit at your convenience.
Is there anything unique to keep in mind when choosing a storage facility in Sacramento?
Some factors to keep in mind when choosing a storage facility in Sacramento are: weather, peak rush hour times, items that you will be storing, and location within Sacramento.
Will I receive a monthly invoice?
Most storage companies in Sacramento only provide invoices upon request.
What storage space sizes are available?
In Sacramento, there are 94 storage facilities, with a total of 218 storage units. Storage unit sizes generally range from 3' X 6' to 20' X 57'. Call one of your local facilities to have a representative find what size unit is best for you.
Sacramento, CA RV and Boat StorageViewHide
Sacramento, CA RV and Boat Storage
There are a lot of advantages to owning an RV in Sactown (you'll get used to the nickname). As far as major cities go, it's pretty RV friendly. The streets are reasonably wide and the highways aren't as jam packed as a certain southern California city that won't be mentioned (cough, Los Angeles). Best of all? There are quite a few RV park choices that are actually within city limits. If you're a veteran RV owner, you know how rare this is in California cities. If you're a rookie, you'll learn. One thing you'll have to address at some point is where you're going to keep your RV (or boat, or extra vehicle) when it's not in use. We recommend one of the many facilities that offer RV and boat storage Sacramento. Here's what you need to know before you store.
What to Expect When You're StoringYou've seen a regular storage unit before, but what does an RV storage unit even look like? RV, boat and vehicle storage comes in a few different shapes and sizes and offers various features and amenities depending on your needs and your budget. This is one of the more expensive types of storage, but even if you're trying to keep costs to a minimum, there's probably still an option that suits you. Many facilities that don't even advertise this type of storage still offer it in the form of allowing you to park your vehicle somewhere on the perimeter of their property. This type of storage is uncovered and is always the cheapest option. A step up from that will offer you an actual spot in a parking lot on property amongst other RVs, boats and cars. This is also typically uncovered and relatively affordable. Some facilities offer a covered variation on this where there's either a roof over your car or a roof and coverage on three sides of your vehicle (picture an open garage). The highest level of storage is essentially your own private little garage with climate control and an individual door alarm. This is not only the most expensive but also the hardest to come by. In Sacramento, it's a great idea to store at a facility that's familiar with RV and boat storage. A place like the StoragePro location on 21st Street offers various parking spaces to suit the size of your RV. Rates tend to stay well under $150 a month and spots are typically available. Trust us, reasonable rates and availability are practically fairy tale concepts in most cities, so if you can find a facility with both, you've struck gold.
Do You Need Special Insurance?Here's another great advantage to storing your RV or boat: You typically don't need special insurance. If you're storing items in a regular storage unit, you can choose to get storage insurance on your own or you can store at a place like National Self Storage that offers it through the facility itself. In the case of your RV, boat or car, your auto insurance policy should cover it just fine. The only thing you'll want to do before putting your vehicle in storage is to take the time to review your policy and see what it does and doesn't cover. Some policies don't cover natural disasters. The odds of something like that affecting your vehicle in storage are pretty slim but it's worth addressing.
SecurityThis brings us to our next point: security. If you rent at a facility with sub-par security, you might as well be parking in front of your own home in terms of protection. The first thing you'll want to think about when choosing a facility is the neighborhood you're renting in. RV and boat storage isn't as readily available as traditional storage in Sacramento or in most cities, so it's likely that you'll end up renting a unit in a part of town you're not super familiar with. Sacramento's crime rate fluctuates by neighborhood but overall there are 16,863 property crimes annually. Storing your RV or boat at a facility with gated access and a fence in place to keep out unwanted intruders prevents the risk of damage occurring to your vehicle. Other features to look for include on-site management, 24 hour security cameras and most importantly, a staff that knows what's going on at all times.
Sacramento, CA University StorageViewHide
Sacramento, CA University Storage
For a college town that you can live in on a college budget, Sacramento just might be the finest option in California. While you won't find a huge selection of public and private schools, you will have access to a couple of four year universities as well as a wide range of community colleges in the area to choose from. Add in affordable apartments, a historic waterfront, and an up and coming culinary scene and you'll be surprised at how perfect the state capital can be for a student. Another thing that's perfect in Sacramento is storage on a student budget. Believe us, it can be done. Let's show you how.
New to Storage?If you're a traditional college student, the only storage you've probably been using is in your parents' basement. Thankfully, even though college is kind of sort of (but at the same time not really) about being an adult, storage isn't that complicated. In Sacramento, you can search almost 200 storage facilities through us. We make it easy by allowing you to search by which features you want and how far away from campus you're willing to rent. And then the facility makes it easy for you by offering flexible leasing options so that signing a lease on a storage unit isn't very much like signing a lease on an apartment. Storage unit leases typically go month-to-month so that if you end up needing your storage unit for longer or you end up deciding that the extra expense is dipping too far into your pizza and cheap beer budget, you can change the situation. Look for discounts for students and summer specials. Many facilities will allow you to pay a low price up front for the whole summer so that you don't have to think about paying a monthly bill while you're backpacking through Europe.
What to Store (And What Not to Store)There's probably a very slim chance that you have a surplus of extra alcohol hanging around at the end of the semester, but if you do (or if you're studying wine and you're starting a collection), it's important to find out whether or not your facility allows you to store it and what you should do to store liquor safely. Obviously if you're under 21, don't store booze in a storage unit. If you're of age and your facility allows this, look for a climate controlled unit and stack boxes carefully so that if in the event that something like a mild earthquake occurs, you won't be returning to a storage unit full of broken glass and tequila. Sacramento isn't known for being wine country, but it actually does have its share of nearby vineyards, so keep a lookout for facilities that offer wine storage if this is something you want to store. Never, ever store perishable items like food and don't store explosives. We're not sure why you would have something like fireworks in your dorm room in the first place, but if you've been smuggling them under your bed all year, don't put them in your storage unit as the combination of summer heat and combustible items is a pyrotechnical display you do not want to see. It's also wise to avoid storing anything that's extremely valuable (like expensive jewelry) but we know that all of your possessions have value to you, so make sure you choose a facility that offers excellent security.
Make Sure You and Your Stuff Are SafeThat brings us to our next point. Security. Your campus has security measures in place. Shouldn't your storage facility? This is important not only for the safety of your items in storage but for your own safety, especially if you've chosen a facility that offers ?24 hour access. Good security features for your stuff include a good lighting, 24 hour cameras, a staff that patrols the property and gated access. Your facility manager should either provide you with a good lock or suggest one for you. Opt for a disc lock if you can, or at least anything other than a padlock as these are pretty easy to cut. If you have to purchase a disc lock on your own, they're easy to find at stores like Wal-Mart or Target or online through Amazon. It's amazing how much a $10 investment can do for the security of everything in your storage unit. As far as your own safety goes, try to store in a part of town you're comfortable going to, avoid going to your storage unit alone if it's late at night and ask your facility manager how secure the gate code is. Many facilities offer individualized gate codes so that they can actually track who is going in and out of the property. Other facilities offer one general code but change it on a regular basis. If you get the sense that a facility has been using the same code for everyone for years, this means that all previous tenants still have access to the property. Don't rent there. Run, don't walk, to a facility that's got your back.
Sacramento, CA Military StorageViewHide
Sacramento, CA Military Storage
As the capital of California, Sacramento sees the occasional flurry of uniformed men and women from various branches of the military on a regular basis. While it's a far cry from San Diego which can actually be called a military town, Sacramento's military presence does in fact exist. If you can count yourself among the military men and women living in Sacramento or stationed near it, here's a brief lesson in how you can use storage to make your life easier.
Your Military Life, Your Storage NeedsOn the business end of things, popular military related jobs in and around Sacramento include the California Military Department and Sacramento Military Entrance Processing Station. Both require typical office type duties and don't offer any housing. You could work a human resources job or an accounting job for the California Military Department, neither of which would put you in a position where you would likely see deployment or extensive travel time for work. If you work for the Sacramento Entrance Processing Station, you'll spend your days enlisting men and women into the military and then you'll go home to your apartment or house. Pretty traditional stuff. Your storage needs will be pretty much the same as the needs of a civilian. You'll be looking for a long term storage to use as an extra closet or the occasional short term storage unit to use in between moves around town. Sacramento has 291 storage facilities, so you'll easily find what you need. Even if you're not active duty, you might still qualify for discounts, so when in doubt, ask. As far as actual military bases with housing, Beale Air Force Base is the closest installation to the city of Sacramento. It's 50 miles north of town on a somewhat remote patch of cattle land (population counts often jokingly include 1,000 cows). Located in Yuba County, this base exists to train, improve and occasionally deploy airmen, who are a mix of reservists and active duty troops. There are 4,500 active duty members, 949 reservists, 832 civilians on base plus quite a few spouses, dependents and veterans. As one of these folks, your storage needs will reflect your housing and how often you travel or how likely you are to be deployed. Housing at Beale is privatized through Balfour Beatty Communities and is spread across five neighborhoods (though lower ranks should expect to live in barracks). If you can't get the home you want right away through this program, take advantage of a month-to-month lease at a storage facility. You can store in Sacramento if you're there on a regular basis or obviously if you've chosen to live there, but if you're on the base and you find the 50 mile drive to be too much, look for storage in Olivehurst. There are 21 facilities in town, all of which offer great features if you're a military transplant. Erie Road Self Storage rents trucks, which is perfect if you're moving into privatized housing and you're looking to get some furniture out of your unit and Storage Pro allows you to set up online bill pay, so if you find yourself on the go, you can pay for storage from anywhere.
Some ConsiderationsWhen choosing a storage unit, you should request quotes and tour facilities with three things in mind. First, ask yourself if you like the location. Second, ask yourself if you like the price. And last, ask yourself if you like the amenities. Great amenities for you will allow you to store items without having your busy life interrupted. Besides the online bill pay component that we already mentioned, there are a few other things you'll want to look for. The first is great security. A facility that has 24 hour cameras, a well-lit property and gated access is a great start. A facility with on-site management and/or a security patrol is even better. Another feature to keep an eye out for is climate control. In Sacramento, this is only necessary if you're storing items like electronics or irreplaceable family heirlooms for long periods of time. If you're simply storing extra clothing or extra furniture briefly, you might be able to forgo this feature, but if you're facing deployment or you just can't see yourself making the time to visit your facility on a weekly basis, it will certainly give you peace of mind.

We operate as a family business ... our restaurants are typically led by families; some are single. We want to do anything we possibly can to strengthen families. We are very much committed to that. —Dan Cathy, Chick-fil-A's president and chief operating officer
Type in Chick-fil-A into any search engine today and the top item won't be directions to the nearest restaurant or the popular fast-food chain's Wikipedia page.
Instead, you will find reaction — and there has been a lot of it — to the company president's condemnation of same-sex marriage earlier this week.
In a July 16 story in the Baptist Press, Dan Cathy, Chick-fil-A's president and chief operating officer, said the company is "guilty as charged," when asked about its position against same-sex marriage.
"We are very much supportive of the family — the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that.
"We operate as a family business ... our restaurants are typically led by families; some are single. We want to do anything we possibly can to strengthen families. We are very much committed to that," Cathy emphasized.
"We intend to stay the course," he said. "We know that it might not be popular with everyone, but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles."
The following day, Cathy reiterated his stance, though in more inflammatory terms, in a radio interview, saying that those advocating for same-sex marriage will bring "God's judgment" upon us.
"I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at him and say, 'We know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage,' " Cathy said. "I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about."
The reaction was explosive from all sides of the debate.
Same-sex marriage proponents have called for boycotts of the restaurant chain, which has more than 1,600 locations around the country. Even Boston Mayor Thomas Menino waded into the debate, vowing to block Chick-fil-A from opening a franchise in his city.
"Chick-fil-A doesn't belong in Boston. You can't have a business in the city of Boston that discriminates against a population. We're an open city, we're a city that's at the forefront of inclusion," he said.
Washington Post leadership blogger Jena McGregor questioned the business sense of Cathy's comments.
"When a business leader elects to take a public and vocal position on a hot-button political issue in an election year, he or she also risks losing the support of many of its customers," McGregor wrote. "It is one thing to be an organization that 'operate(s) on biblical principles' — staying closed on Sundays, making donations to groups it supports, remaining debt-free. But it is quite another to imply that people who support same-sex marriage — many of whom are surely customers — have a 'prideful, arrogant attitude.' "
Others came to Cathy's defense, like Republican Congressman Joe Pitts of Pennsylvania commended Cathy for "exalting the family structure."
Jonathan Merritt for the Atlantic questioned the effectiveness of boycotts and concluded: "in a society that desperately needs healthy public dialogue, we must resist creating a culture where consumers sort through all their purchases (fast food and otherwise) for an underlying politics not even expressed in the nature of the product itself."
And a piece on the Media Research Center's website blasted one anti-Cathy blogger for mangling the Bible in a tirade against Cathy.
"For (Huffington Post contributor Domenick Scudera) and his cohorts, any corporate opposition to gay marriage is tantamount to heresy which must be quashed at any cost. Even if they have to display stunning biblical ignorance in order to do so," wrote Paul Wilson and Joe and Betty Anderlik.
Meanwhile, Chic-fil-A responded to the blacklash with a comment on its Facebook page, suggesting it won't be making any comments about same-sex marriage.
"Going forward, our intent is to leave the policy debate over same-sex marriage to the government and political arena."

Custom 2006 Toyota Tacoma - Low Rollin' TuckomaPosted in Project Vehicles on January 1, 2008
When you have a leased truck on your hands and you decide to cut it up to lay body over a set of 24s, you better make damn sure it's going to be done right. Luckily for Eric Rankins, this build was just up his alley. You see, he is the lead fabricator at Ekstensive Metalworks and is definitely no stranger when it comes to building an insane project like this one. Even though he's used to the idea of radically modifying a brand-new vehicle, it is still mind-boggling to the rest of us. There is always that voice in the back of your head that will question if you can accomplish this monumental task, and if you mess up, how will you explain to everyone that you screwed up a perfectly new vehicle?
With years of experience on his side, it wasn't a question whether it could be done, but could it be done in six weeks? Not only did Eric have a full plate, he had to do it fast and make it presentable for the '06 SEMA Show. It is one thing to leisurely push the limits of what you can do to a truck, but it is another thing to do it under a short deadline. This meant scheduling all of the segments of the project and hoping that nothing went wrong. With that level of stress on your shoulders, it is enough to make anyone go bald from pulling out hair under that pressure.
A funny fact about the whole deal is that Eric had no plans on building such a high-profile truck. At the time, his plan was to redo an '02 Tacoma for himself, while his wife was going to roll a stock '06 version of the truck. With the shimmer of her tempting new truck and a little nudge from his boss, Bill Carlton, Eric wound up getting himself a new Tacoma, instead of redoing the '02 Tacoma. Although, the big difference about his new Tacoma was the fact that it was going to be fully rebuilt from the frame up.
From that point on, it was a mad dash to get it all done, and it involved many different things going on at once. While Eric worked on building a body-drop-less frame to showcase a set of 24s, the body of the truck was at the body shop getting shaved. Also, the stereo and sub box were being put together while the seats were at the upholstery shop getting re-covered. It was a very hectic time, consisting of working 10 hours on customers' rides, and then spending another 4 to 8 hours of labor on this truck the same day.
It took a massive amount of dedication to get through every single restless night of wrenching. It all paid off when Eric was able to drive his finished truck into the Air-Zenith booth at the SEMA Show and watch everyone's jaw drop when it was laid out. It could also be stated that he is still enjoying the shock factor of this truck as he rolls it only inches off the pavement during his 70-mile round trip to work. We can only imagine how good it feels to have all the weight of the buildup off his shoulders and what it's like to reap the benefits daily.

The fast moving blazes that erupted in Riverside and Ventura counties this week were part of an increase of wildfires seen earlier than usual statewide, and means that Southern California can expect a nastier fire season this summer, officials said.
Since the beginning of the year, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection has responded to more than 850 wildfires, or 60 percent more than the average for this time of year.
"It's all due to the fact that conditions are extremely dry out there, and this week's fires were compounded by the winds," said CalFire spokesman Daniel Berlant.
Berlant said firefighters are seeing weather conditions typical of late summer.
"This amount of fires burning with this much intensity this early in the year is abnormal," Berlant said. "The two Southern California fires have caused the most concern because of the number of homes in danger."
The fires in Banning and Camarillo both started within a day of the National Weather Service issuing a Red Flag Warning, the highest alert possible that signals fire is likely to erupt within 24 hours. Both wildfires were fueled by high temperatures, gusty northeast winds, crisp, dry brush as a result of little rain, and low relative humidity.
"I can't remember seeing this magnitude of Santa Ana winds this late in the year," said AccuWeather western forecasting expert Ken Clark.
Conditions in Ventura County were ripe for fire, with temperatures reaching 98, a record for May 2 in Camarillo, in addition to 2 percent relative humidity, winds of up to 59 mph on the hillsides, and brush moisture at 77 percent when it should be at least 115 percent for this time of year, said Stuart Seto, weather specialist for the National Weather Service in Oxnard.
"We're definitely in a dry spell," said Seto, who added he could see smoke from the nearby fire from his offices.
Average rainfall, which is measured between July and June 30, has dropped all over Southern California, Seto said, especially away from coastal areas. Downtown Los Angeles, for example, has seen only 35 percent of its average rainfall of 14.93 inches. The coast has seen 50 percent of its average, but most inland areas have experienced 25 percent of their total rainfall so far this year.
Adding to the dry season, there's a 40 percent chance that summer temperatures in Southern California will be higher than normal.
"We need some rain," Seto said. "We need an El Niño. If it's a strong one, we'll get some strong rains. But now we're sitting in a neutral position for 2013."
Inland Southern California's combination of dense shrub land and hot, fast winds make these sorts of fires a regular occurrence, said Max Moritz, a research scientist at University of California Berkeley's Department of Environmental Science, Policy, and Management.
"One of the things we've learned through lots and lots of different fires in different years is when we have a real dry spring and we have fire weather conditions, like Santa Ana (winds), which are some of the worst fire conditions in the world, if you have an ignition in those conditions, the tendency is going to have a very large, fast-moving fire."
Similar fires have been seen in other countries that combine dry weather and fast-moving winds.
"Australia had terrible fires just a few years ago, and Greece and Spain (as well). A lot of these just boil down to bad fire weather."
Banning's terrain is covered in dense shrubs that Moritz says are a breeding ground for wildfires.
"These are shrubs that are naturally fire-adapted. When they burn, they put off a lot of heat and they move quickly, if the winds are blowing," he said. "Most of Southern California is impenetrable shrub lands. They're naturally adapted to relatively infrequent, high-intensity fires."
Moritz believes more research can help minimize the loss of property and human life in future fires.
It's the kind of research that has been done for other natural disasters.
"We tend to have OK maps of flood plains or earthquake faults, but we don't tend to have good wildfire maps," Moritz said. "There's all these kinds of fire winds, fire weather that we know about, but we don't have very good maps of when and where. It's one of the parts of the equation that we don't really have as good information on as we'd like."
The Red Flag Warning will likely be lifted today, when winds were expected to decrease. But temperatures will rise across Southern California into the 90s and humidity is expected to be low.
"We'll see a big change Saturday when the high temperatures will move off," Seto said. "By Sunday, a low-pressure area will be approaching us bringing a 20 percent chance of precipitation."
Meanwhile, fire officials continue to ask residents to use prevention methods to protect their homes: They recommend the following:
• Remove all dead plants, grass, and weeds from within 30 feet of your home.
• Trim trees 6 feet from the ground
• Remove all leaves, pine needles and debris from roofs
• Create an evacuation plan in case of a wildfire.

The can begins to spin. Understanding what happens can be explained in steps: first, the twirling magnet creates an alternating magnetic field. Students can use a nearby compass to observe that the magnetic field is really changing. Second, the changing magnetic field permeates most things around it, including the aluminum can itself. A changing magnetic field will cause an electric current to flow when there is a closed loop of an electrically conducting material. Even though the aluminum can is not magnetic, it is metal and will conduct electricity. So the twirling magnet causes an electrical current to flow in the aluminum can. This is called an "induced current." Third, all electric currents create magnetic fields. So, in essence, the induced electrical current running through the can creates its very own magnetic field, making the aluminum can magnetic. This is activity four of "Exploring Magnetism."

Top Tips for Planting Tulip Bulbs
Plant your tulip bulbs in October or November; you can still plant them in early December if the ground is not frozen.
Plant in well drained soil, you can improve drainage by raking the top foot of the soil mixing in several inches of peat or compost.
Plant the bulbs 4 inches deep and 5 6 inches apart.
Tulips are fairly disease resistant, however they may get affected with Tulip Fire (leaves go brown and wilt), particularly if they get too warm. If this occurs dig up the bulbs and destroy and dont plant in the infected soil.
It is fine to dead head the flowers but allow the stems to die back naturally. It is important however to remove all dead foliage and petals and not compost them.
