Advice to Senior Management – Team leaders need to realize our mission statement & praise us for giving great customer service lets all be a team player we all have one goal to be successful together but to sit there & criticize bottom line did I help the customer & did I give great customer service not you helped to much
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

If it was a cable station I would but if I have to sit on computer to watch events I'll just find them free... The Singapore event starts at 630 am on a Saturday. No way I'd be catching that live
Are you able to get it on xbox live?
Edit: More info as I'm recalling it.
1st event is the Singapore event, that will be only available via the web site. They'll get the Android and iOS app up before they officially launch (after free preview). They are going to talk to cable suppliers and Microsoft, to get apps (or upgraded apps in the xbox case), and try to do it before the launch date or after.

We shall be returning in 2009 with a few more releases to keep you entertained with the first one as we type being:
'Night Eyes' by Eyes,
Eyes are our fantastic new signings from East Moline, USA.
This is the first studio recording of Eyes who are following up the release of over thirty different home-recorded lo-fi projects in one year, many which are now out of print. Recorded in Iowa City at Flat Black Studios by Luke Tweedy of the Shadow Government and featuring guest collaborations from William Elliot Whitmore, R. Stevie Moore and Shawn Reed, their album will be one laced to the max with heavy psychedelic textures and danceable no wave rhythms or, for want of a quote, ' a chaotic kids disco wrapped in day-glo plastic whilst being devoured by cannibals on board a paddle-steamer heading straight up ol' Miss' and into the couchie of a toothless dame by the name of Jessie.'
As ever, it will be mastered by [s]! and Jimmy Stewart.
Mark our voodooistic crypt calling words.
Until then have a great bit of time off (due to the recession or otherwise) and thanks for your continued support.

|An Important Update on the Streatham Portrait
Added 22 May 2014 as an Addendum. (click on image at left)
Lady Jane Grey
(1536/7 – 1554)
England's 'Nine-Days Queen' of 1553
This site deals primarily with Lady Jane Grey, who reigned as uncrowned Queen of England for just nine days in July 1553 before being overthrown by Mary Tudor. Jane Grey was the subject of my doctoral dissertation when I took my Ph.D. in British History. It is a subject to which I have devoted my career as a professional historian.
This site also contains a small but growing amount of material born of my own 'grey matter' and relating to other topics, including past studies in history and current side projects.
The Imagined Armorial Achievement of Queen Jane
(courtesy of Peter de Lisle at European Heraldry)
The 'About' page offers a brief overview of Lady Jane Grey ... who she was and her place in history and historical mythology. Especially useful for those who may be less familiar with Lady Jane and her story.
One of my principal goals in creating this website was to make available to students of history some of the primary source materials related to Jane Grey that are not otherwise easily accessed.
But first, the 'Resources' page will guide you to an explanation of what it means to be an 'Historian'. Not all writers calling themselves an Historian are alike. This page will help you differentiate between the good and the not-so-good.
The section also includes a page on the differences between 'primary' and 'secondary' sources, an important and often confusing distinction.
'Resources' also links to two extensive bibliographies on the subject of Lady Jane Grey, one of primary sources and the other of secondary sources. The secondary source bibliography is partially annotated with my reviews and assessments of many of the modern works on the subject of Jane Grey.
An additional page will then guide you to some of the primary sources that I have been able to make available through this site ... sources to which the average student will not usually have access. I have provided transcriptions and, where necessary translations, of those sources for your easy use. The list will grow over time.
You will also find here a 'Links' page containing numerous weblinks to other sites related to the subject of Jane Grey, to Tudor and British History, and to other resources for research and enjoyment.
The career of a professional historian is gauged by what he/she has published. The adage is 'Publish Or Perish'. Though my own publishing record is still scant, it is growing. You can read my several published articles and book chapters here.
This has become the largest single section of the site, the result of many years of intensive research in an attempt to find a documented but lost authentic portrait of Lady Jane Grey. Have I found it yet? Look and see!
Studying history is all about asking questions. This page allows me to answer your questions in a way that allows others interested in the subject to see both the question and its answer. Any topic in history is accepted! No question is ever 'dumb'! If you do not ask, how will you know? So ask!
Email your questions to firstname.lastname@example.com
Other Thoughtful Things ... some of my research and writing that either does not easily fit elsewhere on the site or is unrelated to Lady Jane Grey. For example, my book chapter on the poet who invented the acrostic puzzle!

Doughnut Plant donuts - Does it get better than that?
I don't think a comparison exists. I really like the Donut Pub on West 14th, but it's no Doughnut Plant. As an aside, Doughnut Plant opened a shop in Tokyo, Japan and my friend who lives in Japan went there upon my suggestion and said the lines were over an hour and half long. I think they were charging like 500 yen for a donut too, which is around 4 bucks...
re: JSHAFT78
re: TipsyMcStagger
Just checked their website. Very interesting. Up until now, the omnipresent donut shop in Japan has been the Mister Donut chain. Am wondering whether DP will eventually get around to their own version of the Curry Donut?
As to the original topic, I've had some good donuts at DP, but - to date - the chocoloate cake donut that I tried at Peter Pan in Greenpoint remains my NYC benchmark.
re: Polecat
re: chompchomp
Ok. I went on a field trip and tried Peter Pan donuts today. Unfortunately, they didn't have any chocolate cake donuts. Instead, I had a chocolate-frosted, a sugar-covered, and a Bavarian creme. They were all good, but really no competition for Donut Pub versions. The Peter Pan donuts were just better versions of what you would get from Dunkin Donuts. (And better than those Donut Plant monstrosities.) I have to agree with a_and_w about the "sad commentary on the donut scene."
Have you Peter Pan fans been to Donut Pub? (Who travels outside of their own neighborhood for donuts?)
For years I've always disliked Donut Plant because I thought their donuts were greasy, heavy and like lead. And I also couldn't stand Mark Israel on Throwdown with Bobby Flay. However, I realized that I never tried his cake donuts. So a few weeks ago, I did stop by and had a few bites of their dulce de leche and chocolate cake donuts. Really tender and moist and soooo good. I wanted to hate them but I couldn't. Cake all the way for me. And I'm a peson who generally prefers yeast over cake.
re: Miss Needle
re: Miss Needle
re: Miss Needle
re: Miss Needle
Wow! You took the words right out of my mouth. I'm actually in Tokyo now, and the local Starbucks have started carrying Doughnut Plant cake doughnuts, so I thought I'd give them a try. I really wanted to hate it because of the Throwdown episode, but I have to admit, it was amazing. Not too greasy, and yet it melted in my mouth. The flavor (apple cinnamon) was really strong, too. By far my favorite has been the green tea (do they carry that in NY?). It wasn't too sweet, and just had a really distinct and unusual taste.
I've also tried white chocolate and orange flavors -- the cake parts were actually great, but the icings were too sweet. They tasted good, but I'm not sure I would've been able to guess the flavors of the doughnuts if I hadn't ordered them myself. I've seen other reviews that complain about the sweetness of the doughnuts, so I don't think I'm alone. I'm going to try some of the chocolate ones next, so hopefully they won't be as sweet.
I walked by the Doughnut Plant yesterday but they were closed. It's been awhile since I had one of their pear doughnuts. Their doughnuts are so fresh when you bite into them they melt and disappear. IMO they are designed to be consumed immediately and never the next day. As compared to Dunkin Doughnuts (sometime I just crave a Boston Cream with chocolate frosting) or Krispy Creme's thicker, processed, gloppy, yeasty?, variety.
Donut Plant has ruined me for most other donuts. I had been a huge fan of Krispy Kremes previously, but after D.P. forget it. Good thing, because they just closed down the Krispy Kreme in my city. My donut consumption has dropped significantly, since I only get to NYC once in a while.
The new cake donuts are really remarkable. I am still dreaming about the chocolate one. I didn't get to try the dulce de leche! I'll have to go back to NYC soon.
As for the comment about eating them fresh being best: No question. But what's a poor girl to do when she only gets these lovely beasties once or twice a year? Of course, I go into competitive eating mode when I'm at the plant. You can eat a surprising number of donuts when you are very motivated. But I also had to buy some for the next morning, when we were flying back home. Not as good as fresh donuts, but still a real treat while sitting in the airport waiting for your flight...
Here is a photo from our most recent trip to NYC. Some of our group had been unable to join us for our early morning donut feast, so I bought a box for them to eat later. This is us near Union Square, divvying up the donuts on a random street corner. People thought we were nuts, but who cares! These donuts are worth it...
Am I the only one not wowed by these donuts? I tried the dulce de leche donut, and it was moist and sweet and pretty tasty, and it's an interesting flavor. I'll give it that. But certainly not incredible. I would take a hot, fresh krispy kreme over it most days, I think (unless I was in the mood for dulce de leche in particular). I just the think the DP donuts are too heavy and cakey and not enough melty-in-your-mouth.

re: shivohum
re: shivohum
I'm with you and Striver. Can't understand the adulation for Donut Plant doughnuts, whether the yeast version or the cake. I actually prefer krispy kreme over Donut Plant - and I'm not much of a krispy kreme fan.
Without question, the best doughnuts to be had in Manhattan are found at Donut Pub on 14th & 7th ave. And if you buy a dozen, the cost is almost reasonable.
re: racer x
re: a_and_w
Yeah, I think the best doughnuts are to be found inside restaurants, like the bomboloni at Stanton Social or at the Dessert Truck. Though really, I'm not sure they're all comparable ;).
The Vegetarian New Yorker: http://vegny.blogspot.com/
re: racer x
i'm in your camp, ill get blasted for this, but as ive said before donut plant lives off a reputation / hype versus being awesome (esp the yeast donuts), its kind of like venieros (although thats more extreme bc that place is terrible, Donut Plant isnt terrible).
I'm a big fan of Donut Pub as well esp b/c its close to where i live. It's fairly traditional and is basically a much better version of Dunkin Donuts, great to stop in when they're fresh and have a donut with a glass of cold milk
Hail Donut Plant. www.chowhound.com/topics/234569
I love the Donut Plant. I don't understand the beatings it takes, but I guess there will always be a backlash when there's a lot of hype.
I love the PB&J donut and the tres leches cake donut. Hell, I love pretty much every one I've tried.

Globe Sports Writer
CARL JUNCTION, Mo. —
Four years ago, Carl Junction was starting its girls tennis program and Emily Cook was learning the game. Four years later, Cook is set to play tennis in college.
Cook, alongside her parents Greg and Susie Cook, signed her letter of intent Wednesday at Carl Junction High School to play tennis at Evangel University.
Moment's earlier, Carl Junction's Nick Koon, the son of George and Patricia, signed to wrestle at the newly created program at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M.
"When we first started the program four years ago, no one had any experience coming in," Carl Junction girls tennis coach Ryan Odaffer said. "So it was a brand new situation for all of them. They had never played. For her to go from never picking up a racket to being a college level player in four years, that just shows how hard she worked. It shows how much time and effort she put in, and she has earned the right to play college tennis. Now that she's there, I know she's going to continue that same work ethic."
Cook was team captain as a junior and senior. She won the Big 8 Conference championship in doubles as a sophomore and the conference singles title as a senior.
A member of First Baptist Church in Carl Junction, Cook said she is excited about attending Evangel.
"It's a Christian school, and I feel like that's a really good environment for me," she said. "They contacted me and made me feel very welcome to their program."
Koon is joining a new program at NEO, but it isn't your typical start-up. The college is building a $1.3 million facility to house its wrestling program and hired Joe Renfro, who won three national championships at Labette Community College in Parsons, Kan., as the head coach. He has earned national coach of the year honors four times.
"It's a great to be a part of a new program and to be with a back-to-back coach of the year," Koon said. "I'm excited to start my career."
Koon was a four-time state qualifier at four different weight classes for the Bulldogs. A team captain his junior and senior seasons, Koon earned two state medals and more than 140 wins in his career.
Koon began wrestling at 7 years old.
"He's always had a good work ethic," Carl Junction wrestling coach Jeremy Finley said. "He's been a staple of our program. He's been involved with wrestling for a very long time. I think he can succeed at the college level."
The Golden Norsemen have signed 35 wrestlers so far and are anticipating about 10 or 15 more commits.
Renfro said only time will tell which weight will be best for Koon.
"We're flexible," Renfro said. "He's thinking a lighter weight, a 141. I'm thinking by the time we're done with him we're going to be a 149-pounder or even a 157-pounder. He's got a very good frame on him, and we'll see how it works out. We got to lift a lift a lot, which is what we do at our program. My thought is eat right, lift as hard as you can, get as strong as you can and whatever weight you weigh is what weight we'll wrestle at."

A classic french side dish. So easy to make and surprsingly good with fresh out of the garden roma tomatoes and green beans, it can't be beat.
I LOVE this recipe!! Especially in the summer with my beans and tomatoes from the garden. It's so easy to prepare too. I love the tomato mixture so much that now i use it as my spaghetti sauce! I roast the tomatoes according to the recipe, but instead of adding the beans at the end, i just cook a heavy pasta (I like rigatoni) and pour the tomatoes over the pasta. Lots of flavor with the garlic clove!
This recipe is amazingly tasty, and so simple! The taste of the roasted tomatoes combine perfectly with the green beans and the garlic. Don't change a thing.

The act of defecating directly into one's vagina. Like a space ship attempting to dock to a space station, "space docking" involves very accurate control and near-perfect alignment of the two orifices.
"Hey baby, want to try space docking tonight?"
Por cyberpimp 02 de abril de 2006
the once common, now lost art of pooping into a girl's vagina, space docking is enjoying a resurgence of popularity, particularly in the midwestern and northeastern United States (most notably Chicago and New York City) that reminds many art historians/scatologists of the beginning of the renaissance that began in Italy in the 15th Century.
Sally didn't much appreciate Charlie's failure to disclose that he ate three bowls of chili before space docking with her last night.

Whereby a male or female human being deficates from his or her anus into the wide-open vagina of a female human being. Not to be confused with male on male or female on female poo-scissors, similar homosexual oriented sex acts, or any other non-human animal related "docking" act, which is just wrong.

Play of the Day: Remember George W. Bush?
- By Ross Gianfortune
- April 4, 2013
- Leave a comment
If last night is any indication, late-night hosts miss former two-term president George W. Bush. As the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum is set to open, Jay Leno, David Letterman and Jimmy Fallon all took an opportunity to get in some jokes about it. Leno and Fallon tied Barack Obama's relationship to Bush, while Letterman rehashed some jokes about Bush's intelligence.
The situation in North Korea remains tenuous, with Kim Jong-Un and his nuclear arsenal remaining a threat to the United States. Letterman, in particular, got chesty with Kim, showing the status of the hermit kingdom's nuclear program and calling the dictator a "dope."
In other jokes, The Daily Show lauded the continuing resolution, Fallon looked at federal cell phone studies and Leno looked at the Obama's $100 million BRAIN Initiative. Letterman also told viewers his favorite type of political scandal.
Fast forward to 3:40 to see Letterman challenge Kim on camera.

The Andover Townsman
---- — Next spring's Run for the Troops Road Race through Andover may benefit both local veterans and others who have returned from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, says Bill Pennington, race organizer. Pennington has incorporated the race, allowing it more flexibility in its focus.
In previous years the race has benefitted Homes for Our Troops, a national organization that raises money to build and donate free, handicap accessible homes to troops injured serving in Afghanistan or Iraq. Pennington started the race in Andover three years ago to raise money for that national effort, and now hopes to add an Andover-specific element, too, he said.
"The focus will always be Homes for Our Troops, but if there's a cause that people want to present -- a local cause or need -- we can [add it]. Being a corporation now, we're not limited to Homes for Our Troops support," he said.
The annual dinner before the race is moving from Old Town Hall in downtown Andover to the significantly larger rooms available at the Wyndham Andover Hotel on Old River Road. Pennington said this will allow the dinner and auction to hold 500 people instead of about 200.
"The dinner will be a much bigger event than in previous years," said Pennington. "What we're also trying to do is have a live [video] feed to a battalion somewhere in the world so they can see what we're doing."
The dinner will be April 5, with the race will be run during the morning of April 7. Money raised for Homes for Our Troops will help build a free, adapted home in Coventry, R.I. for Marine Cpl. Kevin Dubois of Rhode Island, said Pennington.
"He's currently in San Diego recovering from injuries. He lost both his legs at the hip after stepping on an IED [improved explosive device] in Afghanistan," he said. The Wyndham has donated rooms for soldiers who have returned from Iraq and Afghanistan who would like to attend the April dinner and race. Joe Smith, who benefited from the Andover race two years ago and returned for last year's event, has said he plans to return for the 2013 race, too.

After stay-at-home mother Emily McCall had her second daughter, escaping the house became more necessary.
The four walls just start closing in on you, she said.
Yet it was even harder to do.
A trip to Barnes & Noble meant feeding the baby while trying to stop her toddler from yanking books off the shelves. McCall, 31, found few places where she could relax while the children played.
So she began working on a business plan for a place where parents could talk with friends over coffee or use their laptops while their kids played close by.
I was kind of looking for a happy medium between a kids place and an adult place, she said.
Other Triangle parents liked the idea in one month they contributed more than $17,000 to McCalls Kickstarter campaign.
McCall opened Stay & Play Snack Café on Jan. 19 at 405-A E. Chapel Hill St.
The space consists of one large room with tables and couches, and play stations for children. It includes a craft area, train station, play kitchen, doll house, infant gyms and a reading nook. A large fitness area has a mirror and interlocking foam mat.
Locally roasted coffee and tea, as well as snacks for adults and children are available, although visitors arent expected to make purchases. Admission is $4.50 a child and $3 for siblings. Yearly memberships are available and fitness, music and arts classes will be offered.
Kid-friendly coffee shops have been popping up across the country, McCall said. She thinks a big part of their appeal is that her generation grew up hanging out at coffee shops and still wants that experience after having children.
Meagan Powlas, 31, of Durham stopped by recently to check out Stay & Play, where her sons Henry, 3, and 10-month old Shepherd became enamored with the train table. Henry yanked open a drawer to find a toy engine while the baby mouthed a wooden railway sign.
Powlas said the place was safe, and appealing to both boys.
The way the place is contained is really important, Powlas said. You know theyre not going to jump on an elevator or run out into the street.
And the coffee is a bonus.
Thats been exciting, too.

Previous: 13. Public Health > Taxpayer's Guide > Next: 15. General
Summary: An estimated $244 billion in tax cuts and tax credits will go to individuals, businesses, and research initiatives.
>> The Major Provisions
"Making Work Pay Tax Credit" (estimated cost $115 billion)
- This credit will provide a $400 rebate ($800 for families) on income taxes for workers who make at least $6,452 a year. Those who make less will receive 6.2 percent of those paychecks. For individuals who make over $75,000 a year ($150,000 for a family), the credit will be reduced, and the greater the earnings the less the tax credit will be. This credit will come in both 2009 and 2010.
This tax cut will reduce the overall collection of FICA taxes, the 6.2 percent taken from paychecks to pay for Social Security. Although this would allow workers to keep more of their hard earned wages, it places further stress on a Social Security system that is already plagued by financial problems.
"Alternative Minimum Tax Patch" (estimated cost $70 billion)
- The Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) was designed to prevent high income earners from avoiding taxes, but has since had unforeseen consequences, causing many Americans to be subjected to a higher than necessary tax rate. Each year since AMT was passed Congress has passed a "patch" to adjust the AMT standards for that year and keep families from paying the higher tax rate. The patch for 2009 was passed with the rest of the stimulus and considered part of the overall cost.
Renewable and Efficient Energy Incentives (estimated cost $20 billion)
- The stimulus includes over 40 tax incentives for renewable and efficient energy research, including a $7,500 tax credit for buying a new plug-in electric vehicle, up to $50,000 for building an alternative fuel station, and various tax credits for developing energy efficient means of creating electricity through wind, solar, or other means.
"Child Tax Credit" (estimated cost $14.8 billion)
- This credit will increase the tax credit amount per child. IRS code currently gives families a tax rebate of up to 15 percent of all their income over $8,500. The stimulus expands the tax credit by lowering the threshold to $3,000.
"American Opportunity Tax Credit" (estimated cost $13 billion)
- This credit increases the maximum college education tax credit from $1,800 to $2,500 maximum, and makes the credit available for all four years of college instead of the current two year limit. The tax credit can be claimed for all college expenses, not just tuition, but it is reduced for students whose parents make over $160,000 as a family.
"Bonus Depreciation" (estimated cost $5 billion)
- When businesses buy new assets, they pay taxes based on property values. Over time it is assumed the value of an asset will decline, due to use and other factors. The stimulus extends a 2008 law through 2009 that allows businesses to consider the value of new asset to be only half of fair market value in the first year of ownership for tax purposes.
"First-Time Homebuyer Tax Credit" (estimated cost $3.7 billion)
- This credit will increase the tax rebate that first-time homebuyers get to $8,000, but only for homes purchased by November 20, 2009. The amount of the credit is reduced for families making over $150,000 a year. It interesting to note that the definition of "first-time", because most people who haven't owned a home in the past three years will apply for this credit, even if they have owned a home in the past.
"Operating Loss Carryback"
- The stimulus increases the amount of operating losses that businesses are allowed to deduct from their taxes. Under current law, businesses can deduct losses from the previous two years; the stimulus increases that, allowing firms to get a tax refund equal to their losses from the previous five years.
- Unemployment checks up to $2,400 will become tax-free under the stimulus plan, and benefits from employers for transportation up to $230 will not be considered part of a worker's gross income for tax purposes through 2010. The $2.5 billion "New Motor Vehicle Tax Credit" will increase the tax rebate states offer by using Federal money to compensate state budgets.
- The stimulus extends a 2008 law that increases the amount of expenses small businesses can write off of their taxes through the end of 2009. Section 1221 gives firms a special tax credit for hiring people from highly unemployed demographics. Also, the "Reduction for S Corp Built-In Gains Tax" makes it easier for firms to transition from being under "C Corp" law, which taxes business income, to being under "S Corp" law, which doesn't levy business taxes.
- The stimulus authorizes the government to raise money by selling new types of bonds and increasing the sale of old bonds (like stock in the government). The IRS has a complete list, but two of the notable bonds created are the new "Recovery Zone Bonds" that will raise money to invest in economic recovery zones in dire circumstances. Also, the "Municipal Bonds" will make it easier for local government's to fund additional projects beyond the stimulus.
>> Commentary
The "cost" of any tax cut or credit is the amount of money the government will not receive in tax payments after the cut is passed. For instance, the stimulus allows taxpayers with three or more children an extra 5 percent credit of their income under a certain amount. It's difficult to know exactly how much less money the government will bring in, but whatever that figure winds up being is the "cost" of this tax break. Ultimately, the cuts are problematic because they are accompanied by higher spending. Tax cuts are most effective when the government also decreases spending. Tax and spend policy only increases the federal deficit, which in turn increases national debt, requiring higher taxes in the future to pay down our obligations.
"Tax and spend" policy is the biggest problem with this tax cut plan, but there are other issues. Though it is good to get more taxpayer money back into the hands of the taxpayers themselves, these tax credits promote the entitlement mentality that the government "owes" you for having children or buying a house. Separately, some of the tax cuts are actually increasing the tax burden on certain sectors of society. Because the "Making Work Pay" tax cut stops for those who make over $750,000 it means that those above the threshold will be paying a higher percentage of the nation's taxes.
It is significant to note that these tax cuts, such as the "Making Work Pay" cut, will expire. Since tax cuts help the economy by giving individuals and businesses increased incentives for production, they should be made permanent. When taxes rates return to their previous levels in 2010 the economy will be harmed, increasing the likelihood of a "double-dip" recession.

NORMAN — It may have been a "meaningless" game for Norman High, which was already guaranteed second place in District 6A-4 before Friday night's game against Lawton. But that didn't stop the Tigers from delivering an impressive win over Lawton High anyway.
After falling behind 7-0, the eighth-ranked Tigers quickly took control of the game, going on several long drives and converting on each. They then withstood a furious second-half charge by the Wolverines that went down to the wire, and walked away with a 26-21 victory that ended Lawton's playoff hopes.
Entering the game, everyone on the field knew that NHS was going to keep it on the ground, and there's no doubt that Lawton prepped against it all week. But that didn't stop the Tigers from running wild over the Wolverines, with the usual trio of Zach Long, Imond Robinson and A'erion Hines accounting for every one of NHS' 384 yards, with Robinson gaining 156 on the ground and Long finishing with 155 all-purpose yards.
"Our run game was just popping tonight," coach Greg Nation said. "We've proven we can throw the ball, but we saw things in what they were giving us tonight and it worked."
While NHS (8-2, 6-1) controlled the game most of the way, Lawton (6-4, 3-4) made a serious threat at the end. Taking over the ball with almost five minutes left and down 26-15, the Wolverines marched downfield as NHS went into the prevent defense. The drive culminated in a Dallas Sealey 6-yard score, but the Tigers broke up the pass attempt on the two-point conversion.
After recovering the kick, Lawton was able to stop the Tigers and use its three timeouts to stop the clock. It looked like the Wolverines were poised to make a final drive, but they muffed the punt return and Jake Stinson fell on the ball for NHS to end the game and Lawton's season.

This style is a customer favorite based on product review feedback.
A perennial athlete favorite, this baffled jacket features 800-fill water-resistant down for reliable insulation during backcountry excursions in wet weather. The exclusive water-resistant treatment allows the large clusters of goose down to stay dry longer for improved insulating performance. This highly compressible, thermal mid-layer can be stowed in its hand pocket and carried out-of-bounds as an emergency layer for when the temperature drops.
Using only the highest quality goose down in all of our products, The North Face® tests each lot of down at three stages of production for loftiness, moisture resistance and ability to regain loft after compression.
The fill power of goose down is an indicator of two important features: warmth-to-weight ratio and compressibility, both critical to retain warmth and furnish comfort. True fill power is measured by placing one ounce of goose down in a graduated cylinder and measuring the volume the down occupies in cubic inches. The North Face® products are insulated with exclusive, high-fill power goose down ranging from 550 to 900 fill, which represents the highest quality down commercially available.

Growth of Forum
For the past couple of weeks I have been watching the increase in the number of registered forum users. It looks like we will reach 2,000 before the end of December. I often see comments on this being the best tractor forum and I agree with that statement. Does anyone know how we rank in number of registered users? Dan
I also check for new members every time i come on board. I think 4 new members have sneaked in since My last visit 3 hours ago. Its funny how it seems to go in spurts. Might not be a new Member join for a week or more and then 5/6 will pop up in one day. I think the more members there are causes the board to grow faster from word of mouth.
Then came Bronson
JB: I visit the YT board each day. On several occasions when questions on Cubs were posted there, the response would be as follows: " Post this question on farmallcub.com. Those folks can answer any question you might have on Cubs. A lot of good, knowledgable people over there". I think the collective knowledge of this forum, along with the willingness to answer questions in a kind and helpful manner, is responsible for the rapid growth of membership. Having the manual site is equally important in membership growth and we all owe Rudi a big "thank you" for that. By March, 2006 we may be speculating when we will reach 2500 members. Dan

STUART — The Stuart Hornets fall baseball team certainly didn't want their run through the Class B State Tournament to end after one game, but that's what happened: a 12-0, five-inning loss to eventual state runner-up Asher last Thursday at Edmond Memorial HS Baseball Complex.
Two Indian pitchers combined to no-hit the Hornets.
"They were probably quite a bit better than we were," Stuart six-year coach Randy Bowen said.
"We were a little bit tight, a little bit nervous. The 'deer in the headlines' saying, that's kind of what we were like."

Definitive Flash Gordon and Jungle Jim, Vol. 1$75.00IDW's Library of American Comics is producing The Definitive Flash Gordon & Jungle Jim as part of the Ultimate Alex Raymond Collection. The Definitive Flash Gordon & Jungle Jim will present every Sunday by Raymond from both classic strips together for the first time, in the oversized 12" x 16" champagne edition format. The artist's post-war modernist detective series, Rip Kirby, is currently being collected. Eisner Award-winner Dean Mullaney is editing and designing the deluxe editions. "Although Flash Gordon has been previously reprinted, this—finally—is the first meticulously remastered and restored edition that prints the strip in a large size and in Raymond's original format that includes the Jungle Jim topper. We believe this will be the definitive edition for the ages." Created by Raymond in 1934, Flash Gordon is arguably the most famous science fiction comic strip of all time. It follows adventures of the title character and his companions—Dale Arden and Dr. Zarkov—as they leave Earth to discover the source of meteors that are threatening the planet, and gets waylaid on the planet Mongo, where they battle the evil Ming the Merciless. The three Earthlings encounter one strange race after another, from the water-breathing Shark-Men of the Undersea Kingdom, to the winged Hawkmen, to the ferocious Tusk-Men. All the while, Flash finds himself in the arms of one beautiful woman after another—much to Dale Arden's chagrin. Jungle Jim was created as a strip topper for Flash Gordon, and followed the life of Jim Bradley, who fought pirates, slave traders, and assorted villains in the exotic Southeast Asia of the 1930s. This neglected Raymond classic also features Jim's native cohort Kolu and femme fatale Lille DeVrille. Learn More

The fourth annual Sheyenne Valley Friends of Animals Walk-And-Wag-Athon will be held all day Saturday at Chautauqua Park's dog park. Event organizer Tracy Lee said the fundraiser has been increasing successful since it began as an effort to raise funds to build the dog park. Now the group uses the money it raises at the Walk-And-Wag to offset the medical expenses for animals in their foster program. The SVFA spays/neuters and microchips every animal in the program for what Lee estimated was an average of $230 per animal.

When Valley City High School volleyball coach Katy Van Dyke entered the season, she set out to change things up.
From the general formula of practice to the way the team runs its 6-2 rotation, the Hi-Liners are building on familiar skills and adding a second defense to its repertoire.
"There's a lot more to what we've done in the past that we're going to do this year," Van Dyke said.
The Hi-Liners open the season today and Saturday with six matches at the Bismarck High/Bismarck Century Crossover tournament in Bismarck.
The Valley City High School boys tennis team only won a single match last year against an Eastern Dakota Conference regional opponent, but they made it count.
After going winless against regional competition last season, the team beat Fargo South 3-2 in the regional tournament play-in match
"If you're going to get one victory, that's the victory to get," coach Matt Nielson said.
Though the team eventually lost in the regional tournament, it gave the team a starting point and this year the Hi-Liners hope to continue their growth in the EDC.
How is your pet feeling? This is an issue that all pet companions deal with every day: Has Fifi eaten? Is Spot active? Did Buddy meet me at the door? etc. As pet companions we all understand how important this "monitoring" can be. My golden retriever quit eating, didn't sleep, and would not come in once she was outside. Something was wrong. I knew it and didn't want to admit it. It looked serious to me so I took her in to the vet. Yep, she was very ill and had little time to live.
Students spend much of their time on Valley City State University's campus in classrooms, labs and athletic facilities, but students, together with faculty and staff, arguably spend most of their time at VCSU in the dining facilities located inside the student center.

ROUSES POINT — A local woman is offering a glimpse of history at the newest restaurant in Rouses Point.
Melissa Baker opened The Squirrel's Nest diner on Feb. 6. It is located at 90 Lake Street in the Village of Rouses Point, the former location of Old Tymes Cafe and originally Anctil's Restaurant and Bar.
She remembers coming to Anctil's and especially enjoyed the french fries. The new restaurant is just the latest addition helping to revitalize downtown Rouses Point.
"This place looked like it needed to be busy again," Baker said.
The walls are decorated with copies of historic photographs and advertisements from Rouses Point, courtesy of village resident Benny Arno.
"People go down memory lane when they come here," Baker said.
The plan is to offer old-style, simple favorites, a throwback to the diners long history.
"It's been all good feedback. People are happy to hear we offer them home cooking," she said.
Breakfast is available throughout the day. It includes a $2.99 special of two eggs, two pieces of bacon or sausage and two pieces of toast. Pancakes, French toast, breakfast sandwiches, omelets, eggs Benedict and several side orders are also available.
For lunch, there are burgers, breaded or grilled chicken sandwiches, hot or cold deli sandwiches, hot plates such as a turkey platter or fish and chips, side orders and salads. Baker said there are two soups every day.
They will offer a Sunday brunch starting March 17, $7.50 for adults and $4.50 for kids. Plans call for eggs, sausage, bacon, home fries, pancakes, breads, coffee and tea.
The Squirrel's Nest uses as many local providers as possible, such as Giroux's Poultry and Lakeside Coffee. Those opportunities will increase when local produce becomes available later this year.
There are six employees, not including Baker. Debbie Fosher is the cook. Baker credits her with developing the menu and daily specials.
"She's fantastic," she said.
The diner takes pride in large portions, low prices and great food.
"You're definitely going to get something good to eat for under $10," Baker said.
They have applied for a liquor license and will open the bar once that is in hand, hopefully by the start of summer. Once the bar is open, Baker said she will probably offer a modified food menu for the evening hours.
She is also exploring whether to offer delivery service.
Renovations mainly involved cleaning the place, but she did re-install the upper wall between the bar and diner areas to reduce noise. They also installed a new floor from the front door to the kitchen.
The front features a picture window with the Squirrel's Nest logo, framed by translucent glass blocks.
"That's something very unique with this building," Baker said.
She said the name is a play on the nickname given her by her husband, who calls her the squirrel because she is often scurrying around.
"It could be the Squirrel's Nest Egg, for my retirement," Baker said with a laugh.
Baker and her husband, Village Mayor Francis "Bumper" Baker, also own and operate Bumpers Self Storage (1995) and The Last Resort lounge (2008), both in Rouses Point.
She spent 37-plus years working at Ayerst/Wyeth/Pfizer in Rouses Point before she retired.
Baker said she's pleased with the reception the restaurant has received.
"We're bringing in the locals," she said. "That's what I really want to see. They make you or break you."
The Squirrel's Nest is open from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily. Payment is by cash only, but there is an ATM available.
A Facebookpage displays menu updates and a variety of photos. For more information or to place a take-out order, call 297-6378.

From staff reports
---- — Just after 10 a.m. this morning, a Marion woman was killed on U.S. 31 near 1500 North in Miami County.
According to Indiana State Police, Karen Cummings, 60, Marion, was driving a 2007 Jeep Liberty north on U.S. 31 when she rear-ended a 1997 Pontiac Grand Am driven by Gerald Harmon, 58, Roann. Police are reporting that Cummings was driving at a high rate of speed when the crash occurred.
The impact caused the Jeep to travel across the median and roll several times before coming to rest on its wheels in the southbound lanes of U.S. 31. The Pontiac was pushed into the median.
Cummings was pronounced dead at the scene by Deputy Miami County Coroner Ron Meyer. Harmon was not injured.
This crash is still under investigation, but at this time, neither the use of alcohol nor narcotics is suspected as having contributed to this crash.

Here's What's Often Missing When We Speak of the Final Judgment As Being According to Works
I agree that the final judgment is according to works. We are justified—made right with God and given a title to heaven—by faith alone apart from works. This faith, though, always and necessarily leads to good works, such that at the final judgment works can be necessary as evidence that we have already been accepted by God. So works are necessary as evidence, not basis.
One analogy may be going…Continue Reading
Why Sound Doctrine Leads to Effective Action for Good
I talked this morning at our Friday morning chapel on why sound doctrine grounds and leads to effective action for good. I asked six questions in my message:

The Problem with "Give in Order to Get"
Prosperity teachers sometimes teach that if we give, God will in turn give back more to us than we have given. This, then, becomes an incentive to give and a subtle way of advocating the idea that "God wants you to be rich."

Why Does Desiring God Offer Everything Online for Free?

Why I Pray for the Economy
I pray for the economy at all times, not just times of crisis, because as Christians we are to wish for and seek the welfare of others.

Therefore, I believe that the command to "love your neighbor" implies that we desire, seek, and pray…Continue Reading

God Is Happy

The Cayenne models are all equipped as standard with an engine immobiliser and anti-theft alarm featuring ultrasonic interior surveillance.
The alarm circuit includes all four doors, bonnet, tailgate, rear screen, interior, ignition and trailer (if fitted).
The immobiliser system works by automatically communicating with the vehicle key. If the key is approved, the engine can be started as normal.
When the key is removed from the ignition, the steering column is automatically locked to provide additional security.
This preparation enables future installation of the Porsche Vehicle Tracking System (PVTS) obtainable from Porsche Tequipment. PVTS can be used to locate a stolen vehicle in 25 EU countries as well as Norway, Switzerland and Russia – irrespective of where you live.
The vehicle is not tracked continually, only when the alarm is triggered. In the event of vehicle theft or manipulation, or if the loss of the vehicle is reported by the owner, a silent alarm is automatically triggered. The package includes a special wiring loom, higher capacity battery (depending on vehicle specification) and tilt sensor for the alarm system.
Optional for all Cayenne models.

On the hot-button issue of banning semi-automatic assault weapons, one area congressman-elect has come out swinging and U.S. Sen. Bob Casey Jr. of Pennsylvania has had a change of heart.
Casey, who just won a second term, told the Philadelphia Inquirer recently that he was haunted by images from the massacre at Newtown where Adam Lanza shot and killed his mother before murdering 20 children and six adults at the Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Previously, he had opposed an assault weapons ban, but since Newtown he had decided he would support one as well as a ban on high-capacity ammunition magazines.
"The power of the weapon, the number of bullets that hit each child, that was so, to me, just so chilling, it haunts me," Casey said.
A Patch story asking Lehigh Valley readers for their opinion on an assault weapons ban drew close to 300 comments.
U.S. Representative-Elect Matt Cartwright, who will be sworn in for his first term representing the 17th District on Jan. 3, talked about his support for a ban in an op-ed piece in The Morning Call on Dec. 27.
"This kind of firepower is not necessary for hunting or self-defense," wrote Cartwright, who fills the seat held by Rep. Tim Holden. "Our American experience has showed us example after example of assault rifles and high-capacity clips being used in mass killings of innocent people."
Cartwright and Casey won't have to wait long to co-sponsor legislation on a ban. Sen. Dianne Feinstein announced that she will introduce such a bill on the first day of the new session and U.S. Rep. Ed Perlmutter of Colorado and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy of New York plan to introduce a companion bill in the House.
Without saying categorically how they would vote on such a measure, U.S. Rep. Charlie Dent, R-15, and Sen. Pat Toomey have steered clear of endorsing a ban.
Dent issued a statement saying he wants Congress to "examine all of the possible solutions" including such aspects as increased school security and training school personnel, reviewing measures to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people, getting help for those who exhibit "severe emotional problems or violent tendencies" and looking at the role violent entertainment might play in such incidents.
Dent Spokesman Shawn Millan said the congressman isn't endorsing the NRA position of putting a police officer or armed guard in every school. But Dent wants to look at ways to enhance security in schools so they would be more protected from attacks.
Toomey's office, which failed to respond to a request for comment, told the Morning Call that "among other things, we need to have a discussion about the best way to better identify and protect ourselves from dangerous and mentally deranged individuals who seek to carry out such atrocities."
Several local mayors have weighed in on the issue by signing a letter from more than 750 mayors to President Barack Obama supporting laws to "get high capacity rifles and ammunition magazines off our streets" and "require every gun buyer to pass a criminal background check."
Among the signers were Bethlehem Mayor John Callahan, Allentown Mayor Ed Pawlowski, Easton Mayor Sal Panto Jr., West Easton Mayor Gerald W. Gross, Wilson Mayor David Perruso and Emmaus Mayor Winfield Iobst.
The letter also says measures should be taken to beef up enforcement of gun laws already on the books, such as prosecuting people who are prohibiting from buying firearms who attempt to do so.
"In 2009, the Federal Bureau of Investigation referred more than 71,000 such cases to ATF [Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives], but U.S. Attorneys ultimately prosecuted only 77 of them," the letter said.

This Thursday, May 15, leading UK entertainment lighting supplier The White Light Group will be holding an Open Day at its headquarters in Wimbledon, south London. Originally conceived as another chance for people to explore White Light's base following the company's move there almost 18 months ago, and for customers to bid White Light's hire director Mike Crossman farewell as he leaves the company on a round-the-world tour, the Open Day is now expanding into something of a mini trade show.
"This will be the third Open Day we've held here in Wimbledon," says White Light's general manager, Bryan Raven. "The first two proved hugely successful in letting people explore the facilities we have here and allowing them to play with the latest lighting products. A number of manufacturer's representatives were around on both previous occasions; this time, we thought, who better to demonstrate the very latest products than the people who actually make them?"
As well as staff members from all of the White Light Group companies, including White Light Hire, White Light Sales, The Moving Light Company, The Service Company, Colourhouse, Modelbox, and Enliten, the Open Day will allow visitors to explore the latest products from a variety of suppliers and manufacturers including Blackout (with its new LED starcloths), E\T\C (with the latest in large-format projection equipment), Howard Eaton Lighting Limited (liquid nitrogen effects), Le Maitre (pyrotechnics and low smoke), Lee Filters (including its glass color ranges), Look Solutions (smoke machines), Prolyte & Lite Structures (trussing), Pulsar (showing its LED products, now available in White Light's hire stock), RADlite (with its video control systems), Rainbow (color scrollers), Robert Juliat, Rosco (with the ImagePro and other new products), Selecon (with its range of spotlights), Stage Technologies (showing its Pathway flying system), Zero 88 (with its Frog range), and others. The Moving Light Company will be showing the latest moving lights from Coemar, Martin, and High End and will also be giving visitors a chance to compare the very latest lighting consoles from grandMA, Compulite, ETC, Strand, and Flying Pig side-by-side and hands-on.
One of the highlights of the day, weather permitting, will be the chance to ride in a hot-air balloon, to raise money for Light Relief; in particular, lighting designer and friend of White Light, Mark Ridler, who was recently involved in a serious road accident. The day will also include music from the South London Jazz Orchestra, food, drink, and chat. The event starts at 2pm and runs on into the evening, and all are welcome. "We look forward to seeing everyone there," says Bryan Raven.
More information, including the latest details of companies demonstrating their products, and information on traveling to White Light, can be found at www.whitelight.ltd.uk/openday, or by telephoning White Light at 208-254-4800.
