Jeff Housh was looking for an easier way to feed his cattle than hauling 5-gal. buckets in a truck or using a tractor. So he made his ATV trailer pull double-duty by building a frame for a feeder bin. The secondhand feeder cost only $100 and he used scrap iron for the brackets. Housh grows corn, edible beans, wheat and alfalfa and runs a cow–calf operation in northwest Nebraska.
Tired of carrying 5-gal. buckets, I made a frame to attach a livestock feeder to an ATV trailer. I like to use my ATV to feed so I'm not tying up a truck or tractor. The frame for the feeder is made from scrap iron and stands tall enough to fill the bunks. From the seat of the ATV, I can pull a rope to open the spring-loaded door on the feeder. The frame and feeder bin are bolted on the trailer so they are removable during the summer when I don't need the feeder.
The well and submersible pump that serve our house and farm shop are several hundred feet away. To better monitor the pump, I tee'd a pressure gauge in the water line next to the sink in the farm shop. At a glance, I can see if there is any irregularity in the water pressure and possible pump or pressure switch malfunction.

Instead of having a mess of C-clamps cluttered and tangled in a drawer, I made a wall bracket to keep them easily accessible. First, I took two 6"-long pieces of 1⁄8"×3" flat iron and bent a 90° angle at one end of each piece. I drilled two holes into each surface and welded the pieces to a 1½"×3" piece of rectangular tubing. The entire bracket was then attached to the wall. I can arrange C-clamps by size or use, and I can find the one I need without searching too long.

Siage Of Amida Records (SOAR), is a UK based independent records label. Siege Of Amida Records was founded on 2007. And for now on, Siege Of Amida Records is part of Century Media Records.
Jamie Graham, the director of Siege Of Amida Records stated :
After 6 years of building this label from a comparatively low level, starting out in our bedrooms, we looked back at our catalogue of releases and at the bands that moved onto bigger labels and our current roster. We realised we had something special to build on there- Century and their team understand the vision I have for this label and this deal allows our distribution and promotional network to increase a hundred fold. Working with a company as diverse, reputable and ambitious as Century Media in order to take SOAR to the next stage is the logical step for us to take. It will mean great things for our artists and for the labels growth as a whole

A new ultra-high-throughput screening assay for the detection of cellulase activity was developed based on microfluidic sorting. Cellulase activity is detected using a series of coupled enzymes leading to the formation of a fluorescent product that can be detected on a chip. Using this method, we have achieved up to 300-fold enrichments of the active population of cells and greater than 90% purity after just one sorting round. In addition, we proved that we can sort the cellulase-expressing cells from mixtures containing less than 1% active cells.
We present a simple microchip device consisting of an overlaid pattern of micromagnets and microwells capable of capturing magnetically labeled cells into well-defined compartments (with accuracies >95%). Its flexible design permits the programmable deposition of single cells for their direct enumeration and pairs of cells for the detailed analysis of cell-cell interactions. This cell arraying device requires no external power and can be operated solely with permanent magnets. Large scale image analysis of cells captured in this array can yield valuable information (e.g., regarding various immune parameters such as the CD4:CD8 ratio) in a miniaturized and portable platform.
We present an analytic technique for probing protein-catalyzed transient DNA loops that is based on nanofluidic channels. In these nanochannels, DNA is forced in a linear configuration that makes loops appear as folds whose size can easily be quantified. Using this technique, we study the interaction between T4 DNA ligase and DNA. We find that T4 DNA ligase binding changes the physical characteristics of the DNA polymer, in particular persistence length and effective width. We find that the rate of DNA fold unrolling is significantly reduced when T4 DNA ligase and ATP are applied to bare DNA. Together with evidence of T4 DNA ligase bridging two different segments of DNA based on AFM imaging, we thus conclude that ligase can transiently stabilize folded DNA configurations by coordinating genetically distant DNA stretches.
We report the Laser Induced Forward Transfer (LIFT) of antibodies from a liquid donor film onto paper receivers for application as point-of-care diagnostic sensors. To minimise the loss of functionality of the active biomolecules during transfer, a dynamic release layer was employed to shield the biomaterial from direct exposure to the pulsed laser source. Cellulose paper was chosen as the ideal receiver because of its inherent bio-compatibility, liquid transport properties, wide availability and low cost, all of which make it an efficient and suitable platform for point-of-care diagnostic sensors. Both enzyme-tagged and untagged IgG antibodies were LIFT-printed and their functionality was confirmed via a colorimetric enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Localisation of the printed antibodies was exhibited, which can allow the creation of complex 2-d patterns such as QR codes or letters for use in a final working device. Finally, a calibration curve was determined that related the intensity of the colour obtained to the concentration of active antibodies to enable quantitative assessment of the device performance. The motivation for this work was to implement a laser-based procedure for manufacturing low-cost, point-of-care diagnostic devices on paper.
Detection of individual target cells among a large amount of blood cells is a major challenge in clinical diagnosis and laboratory protocols. Many researches show that two dimensional cells array technology can be incorporated into routine laboratory procedures for continuously and quantitatively measuring the dynamic behaviours of large number of living cells in parallel, while allowing other manipulations such as staining, rinsing, and even retrieval of targeted cells. In this study, we present a high-density cell self-assembly technology capable of quickly spreading over 300 000 cells to form a dense mono- to triple-layer cell arrangement in 5 min with minimal stacking of cells by the gentle incorporation of gravity and peripheral micro flow. With this self-assembled cell arrangement (SACA) chip technology, common fluorescent microscopy and immunofluorescence can be utilized for detecting and analyzing target cells after immuno-staining. Validated by experiments with real human peripheral blood samples, the SACA chip is suitable for detecting rare cells in blood samples with a ratio lower than 1/100 000. The identified cells can be isolated and further cultured in-situ on a chip for follow-on research and analysis. Furthermore, this technology does not require external mechanical devices, such as pump and valves, which simplifies operation and reduces system complexity and cost. The SACA chip offers a high-efficient, economical, yet simple scheme for identification and analysis of rare cells. Therefore, potentially SACA chip may provide a feasible and economical platform for rare cell detection in the clinic.

Fabrication of rigid microstructures with thiol-ene-based soft lithography for continuous-flow cell lysisView Description Hide Description
In this work, we introduce a method for the soft-lithography-based fabrication of rigid microstructures and a new, simple bonding technique for use as a continuous-flow cell lysis device. While on-chip cell lysis techniques have been reported previously, these techniques generally require a long on-chip residence time, and thus cannot be performed in a rapid, continuous-flow manner. Microstructured microfluidic devices can perform mechanical lysis of cells, enabling continuous-flow lysis; however, rigid silicon-based devices require complex and expensive fabrication of each device, while polydimethylsiloxane (PMDS), the most common material used for soft lithography fabrication, is not rigid and expands under the pressures required, resulting in poor lysis performance. Here, we demonstrate the fabrication of microfluidic microstructures from off-stoichiometry thiol-ene (OSTE) polymer using soft-lithography replica molding combined with a post-assembly cure for easy bonding. With finite element simulations, we show that the rigid microstructures generate an energy dissipation rate of nearly 107, which is sufficient for continuous-flow cell lysis. Correspondingly, with the OSTE device we achieve lysis of highly deformable MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells at a rate of 85%, while a comparable PDMS device leads to a lysis rate of only 40%.f
A combined microfluidic-microstencil method for patterning biomolecules and cellsView Description Hide Description
Despite the myriad of soft lithography based micropatterning methods available to researchers, it is still challenging to define small features (10–100 μm) that are spaced far apart (1–10 mm). In this report, we describe a combined microfluidic-microstencil patterning method that can produce multifunctional substrates of small features, O(10 μm), with a large pitch, O(1 mm). In that, we fabricate microstencils using an UV curable polyurethane (Norland Optical Adhesive 81) with dense arrays of 10–100 μm holes. Overlaying arrays of microfluidic channels over these microstencils allow for the control of the spacing between features and the ability to pattern multiple substrates. We show that this method is capable of patterning soluble proteins, fibrillar insoluble collagen, liposomes, cells, and nanoparticles. We demonstrate the utility of the method by measuring platelet adhesion under flow to three adhesive proteins (insoluble fibrillar collagen, laminin, and reconstituted acid solubilized collagen fibers) in a single assay.f
Towards plug and play filling of microfluidic devices by utilizing networks of capillary stop valvesView Description Hide Description
Robust bubble-free priming of complex microfluidic chips represents a critical, yet often unmet prerequisite to enable their practical and widespread application. Towards this end, the usage of a network of capillary stop valves as a generic design feature is proposed. Design principles, numerical simulations, and their application in the development of a microfluidic cell culture device are presented. This chip comprises eight parallel chambers for the assembly and cultivation of human hepatocytes and endothelial cells. The inlet channel divides into cell chambers, after which the flows are reunited to a single chip outlet. Dimensions and geometry of channels and cell chambers are designed to yield capillary burst pressures sequentially increasing towards the chip outlet. Thus, progress of liquid flow through the device is predefined by design and enclosure of air bubbles inside the microfluidic structures is efficiently avoided. Capillary stop valves were designed using numerical simulations. Devices were fabricated in cyclic olefin polymer. Pressure during filling was determined experimentally and is in good agreement with data obtained from simulation.oa
Integration of programmable microfluidics and on-chip fluorescence detection for biosensing applicationsView Description Hide Description
We describe the integration of an actively controlled programmable microfluidic sample processor with on-chip optical fluorescence detection to create a single, hybrid sensor system. An array of lifting gate microvalves (automaton) is fabricated with soft lithography, which is reconfigurably joined to a liquid-core, anti-resonant reflecting optical waveguide (ARROW) silicon chip fabricated with conventional microfabrication. In the automaton, various sample handling steps such as mixing, transporting, splitting, isolating, and storing are achieved rapidly and precisely to detect viral nucleic acid targets, while the optofluidic chip provides single particle detection sensitivity using integrated optics. Specifically, an assay for detection of viral nucleic acid targets is implemented. Labeled target nucleic acids are first captured and isolated on magnetic microbeads in the automaton, followed by optical detection of single beads on the ARROW chip. The combination of automated microfluidic sample preparation and highly sensitive optical detection opens possibilities for portable instruments for point-of-use analysis of minute, low concentration biological samples.f
Microfluidic platform integrated with worm-counting setup for assessing manganese toxicityView Description Hide Description
We reported a new microfluidic system integrated with worm responders for evaluating the environmental manganese toxicity. The micro device consists of worm loading units, worm observing chambers, and a radial concentration gradient generator (CGG). Eight T-shape worm loading units of the micro device were used to load the exact number of worms into the corresponding eight chambers with the assistance of worm responders and doorsills. The worm responder, as a key component, was employed for performing automated worm-counting assay through electric impedance sensing. This label-free and non-invasive worm-counting technique was applied to the microsystem for the first time. In addition, the disk-shaped CGG can generate a range of stepwise concentrations of the appointed chemical automatically and simultaneously. Due to the scalable architecture of radial CGG, it has the potential to increase the throughput of the assay. Dopaminergic (DAergic) neurotoxicity of manganese on C. elegans was quantitatively assessed via the observation of green fluorescence protein-tagged DAergic neurons of the strain BZ555 on-chip. In addition, oxidative stress triggered by manganese was evaluated by the quantitative fluorescence intensity of the strain CL2166. By scoring the survival ratio and stroke frequency of worms, we characterized the dose- and time-dependent mobility defects of the manganese-exposed worms. Furthermore, we applied the microsystem to investigate the effect of natural antioxidants to protect manganese-induced toxicity.f

It's another first for North Dakota oil.
In May North Dakota oil drillers pumped a record 25.1 million barrels of crude.
Director of Mineral Resources Lynn Helms says the 25 million barrel mark means on average the Bakken produced 810,000 barrels per day, which is up from 639,000 barrels per day in May 2012 and more than double the amount of barrels produced for the same month in 2011.
"Really a happy surprise we finally broke through that 800-thousand barrel a day barrier and that's something we've been looking forward to for sometime, so almost a 17-thousand barrel a day increase from April to May," Director of Mineral Resources Lynn Helms said.
Helms says in June, July and August he expects even more barrels of oil to be produced everyday.
"We're anticipating a 20,000 plus barrel a day production increase for June, July and August so very likely that we will exit this year at production greater than really what we anticipated for the revenue forecast," Helms said.
Helms also says there were 8,915 producing wells in May.
Up more than 3,000 wells from May 2011.

DAMIAN BREE Dip Arch Tech
Graduated 1983
Why did I choose to study architectural technology?
'I remember in primary school looking at career leaflets left in the class room by our teacher. The two jobs that I really fancied were being an airline pilot or being an architect. The salaries were really good too, especially for an 11 year old, about £2,500 year.
So while I wanted to study architecture I wasn't successful in my application. I was offered a place in architectural technology and while I didn't know what architectural technology was, I found that it suited me very well indeed.'
Why did I study at DIT, and what are my main memories of student life?
'In the early 1980s Dublin was the only real option if you wanted to get a good qualification in architecture and Bolton Street had courses in both architecture and architectural technology.
Each summer holiday I worked in the local Sligo office of a Dublin firm, there was only the associate and secretary there and my presence increased the workforce by 50%. Working in such a small office was brilliant experience, for both the subsequent student year in Bolton Street and in my professional life, as I had an opportunity to be involved in all aspects of projects and saw at close range how an office would be run. If I had worked in a larger office I fear I would have been a junior member of a team pigeonholed on some minor task and missing an opportunity to expand my experience.'
Where am I working now?
'After graduating with my Diploma in Architectural Technology in 1983 I applied to study architecture. I was offered a place by three London polytechnics, but decided to take a place offered to me in Bolton Street.
Studying architecture didn't work out for me and I went to London in 1984 and joined the majority of my architectural technology class who had already emigrated. With a network of friends and contacts I found work immediately. I worked for a couple of practices and built on the reputation the Irish were quickly making for producing competent architectural graduates that knew how to design, detail and draw quality schemes reliably.
In 1986 my employers sent me to Kuwait to work in their site office., which proved a great experience, opening my eyes to travel and a cosmopolitan office environment. The experience I got from working in the Middle East gave me the confidence to look for roles with more responsibility. I soon found myself running two jobs under the supervision of a partner.
A colleague who moved to another practice offered me a job there and I was given a £4m refurbishment project to run in the City. I was now also venturing into the realm of the architect, in drafting Architect Instructions, Interim Certificates, dealing with Extension of Time claims and other project administration tasks. Over a period of 3 years I was doing less drafting and more project administration.
With my interest in computing, it was around this time (1990 - 1991) that I started to advise the practice on CAD and IT strategies.
In due course I left employment to form my own practice, Bree Day Partnership, in collaboration with an architect.
Bree Day Partnership started out on the back of some building surveys we won from the Home Office. My business partner had been investigating the environmental impact of design and the sustainability of materials in construction, whilst my earlier interest in technology was showing me how technology could be used in the home to reduce our energy needs through better control equipment and energy systems. Take a look at the Bree Day website at www.architech.co.uk
Buildings by Bree Day Partnership
In 1996, along with other consultants, contractors and research bodies, we became founding members of a research programme called Integer, whose remit was to seek ways to improve the way we build, both environmentally and in a sustainable way, to improve construction through modern methods of construction, and use technology to reduce energy usage. We got the support of the Building Research Establishment (BRE) who hosted our seminars and offered facilities and speakers.
The UK government at this time was keen to show the UK's expertise abroad and invited us to display a model of our ideas. The BBC saw the model and were at the time looking for a vehicle to feature in a 6 part series on a modern 'Dream' house. Although the BBC could give us no money, they said that if we could build it they would base their programme around its construction. With no funds, no design (apart from a 1:50 model) and no site we started seeking support from the industry, which thankfully rose to the challenge. The BRE gave us a site and within 4 months we were on site and 12 weeks later were finished. The publicity the project and the programme gave us, along with the ongoing seminars, brought clients to us interested in sustainable design.'
What kind of work do I do?
'In short, my role is wide ranging and falls into several categories. On the Project side I am running jobs, attending site and client meetings, administrating building contracts etc. Occasionally I like to keep my hand in producing working drawings if resources are stretched. On the Practice side I am generally the office administrator, as my business partner will avoid administration if at all possible. I deal with the accounts, VAT, salaries, IT requirements and building facilities.'
Computer models and renderings by Bree Day Partnership
'And on the Research side I attend about 1 seminar a month on average, usually focusing on sustainability in the construction industry, and will have 1 CPD (Continuous Professional Development) event in-house each month. I am also occasionally invited to speak at conferences and seminars, and do about 3-4 a year.'
What career opportunities exist for a technologist?
'I believe the opportunities are boundless.'
Anything else which you might have found useful to know when you were 18 years old and making a choice on possible careers?
'If I was asked to give one piece of advice to a 1st year student in architectural technology, it would be to find yourself a summer job in a small practice where you can find yourself doing as wide a range of roles as possible.'

Private services were held for Emmett Franklin Jones, Jr. who entered into eternal rest June 22, 2012. Mr. Jones first came to Minden in 1935, and except for the time of employment and military service, made it his home. During the war, he served with Patton's 3rd Army in the Infantry. Just before the end of the war in Europe, he was captured during a mission behind enemy lines. After WWII, he graduated from LSU with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. He worked at Huntsville, Alabama with members of the von Braun team in the design of the launch facilities for the Saturn-Five Rocket. He and his section designed the fueling system for the S-1C, the first stage of the Saturn Five Rocket. Later, at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, he worked in a Crew Systems Development group for the Apollo Command Module, and the Habitat Requirements Team for Sky Lab. After the Apollo fire, his labs developed the fire protection covering for the Space Suit. After leaving NASA, he served as a Liaison Engineer for the 8th Air Force Commander for his bases in the eastern half of the US and SAC Recovery Bases in Labrador, Greenland, Europe, Ireland, and the Middle East.
Preceding him in death were his father, the Rev. Emmett F. and mother Lillian Cathey Jones Willis, and three sisters, Lillian Williamson, Elizabeth Jones and Mary Alice Youngblood. He is survived by his wife Marion, son Emmett III and wife Linda, and three grandchildren and a special sister-in-law Nell Boersma.

In any area, people continually discuss (argue?) over the best or greatest. We trot out statistics and arguments, call on experts for their opinions, poll the public and spend a great deal of time in the debate. There are yearly, decade, century, and as 2000 approached even millennial lists. Examining our everyday lives, the media has and continues to debate what inventions and innovations have had the greatest effect on our everyday lives.

"I've done many things that are shameful, but this is not one of them."
Jodi Arias' calm composure was on display during a 2008 jailhouse interview. She was arrested for the brutal murder of her ex-boyfriend Travis Alexander.
Question: "Did you kill Travis Alexander?"
Jodi: "Absolutely not. No, I had no part in it... I would be shaking in my boots right now if I had to answer to such a heinous crime."
"I didn't commit a murder. I didn't hurt Travis. I would never hurt Travis," she said. "No jury is going to convict me. I am innocent, and you can mark my words on that."
Although she claimed for a year and a half that she was innocent -- that two masked intruders killed Travis -- all the evidence mounted and Arias later admitted to killing him in self-defense.
However, that story didn't fly with jurors.
Wednesday, Arias was convicted of first degree murder after a 5-month trial. Now, the question is, will she be sentenced to death?

|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Health Canada cracking down on flavoured smokes aimed at young smokers
The recent shocking massacres in the United States have sparked new discussions surrounding guns and gun control.
My own view is that no hunter needs an assault rifle to bring down a moose or bear and if he does, he shouldn't be hunting in the first place.
Guns are lethal and easy access with little or no control or oversight has done no one any favours. The ill-fated gun registry should never have been embarked on without a meaningful discussion with Canadians, however, I think all gun shops should be required to keep careful and permanent records of sales that are available to law enforcement officials and that existing laws with respect to the purchase of guns continue to be stringently enforced. I am definitely not in favour of easing access.
On Christmas day Alda Sigmundsdottir, a young Icelander, posted a story on her blog, which she called "the next-best Christmas story." In it she recounts how a prisoner escaped from Iceland's only maximum security prison and, although a man-hunt was underway for over a week, the culprit (charged with attempted manslaughter) could not be found.
In the early morning hours of Christmas eve a farmer and his daughter in an isolated community were woken to the sound of someone at their kitchen window. There at the window stood the long-searched-for prisoner. Armed to the teeth, the escapee told them he was turning himself in and asked them to call the police. Instead of panicking, the farmer and his daughter struck up a conversation through the kitchen window, asking him if he needed warm clothes and offering him hot soup.
Seeing that he appeared to be in control of his faculties, they asked whether he would be prepared to leave his weapons (a rifle with silencer, ammunition, an axe and several knives) outside and join them inside while waiting for the police to come.
Agreeing, the man entered the house where he was invited for coffee and cake. As they waited they talked about the man's future, whether this wasn't the perfect time to turn over a new leaf and create a new life for himself. The farmer even encouraged the convict to get an education while in jail. Almost an hour later the police arrived to return the prisoner to the jail in Litla-hraun.
The point that Astrid Sigmundsdottir made was that had this happened in…say the U.S., this encounter could have had a much nastier outcome with guns blazing before any questions could be asked.
This kind family chose to use good sense, calmness and above all loving kindness. They approached this person as a human being first; a human being who had wandered down a dark path but who still had the potential to turn his life around.
Not all convicts are sensible or redeemable, but I think we owe it to ourselves and to the families of those who have lost their way, to ensure that our penal system is not just about punishment.
The recent "law and order agenda" undertaken during a time when crime is actually declining has taken a negative turn as has our sensible approach to gun ownership.
Let's hope the New Year brings less chest thumping from gun owners and the despicable N.R.A. and more thoughtful policy directions from parliament.

Paulding County schools are STILL out today (Thursday) but according to everything I have heard the game against Region opponent Marietta is still on for tomorrow night at "THE BONEYARD"!!!…
All the Region 5A-AAAAA eyes will be watching the battle for TLP between Etowah & Woodstock as the winner of that game will probably be playing our Raiders for the #2 position in Region 5A later in the season…
Our Raiders get back on track against Marietta's Blue Devils so you KNOW WHATS COMING NOW…

The Lithonia (2-2) vs. Stone Mountain (3-1) @ Panthersville 8:00pm should be a good one. My son text me and said Lithonia went and Spray Painted there field (Stone Mountain practice field). I think the Stone Mountain vs. Lithonia rivalry is back like in the 50's 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's.
September 24th, 2009

Stone Mountain is mad and you know how the saying goes "don't fight someone madder than you!" Lithonia needs to do something to get themselves up to play this one. There hasn't been a Lithonia/Stone Mountain rivalry since maybe the 80's because Stone Mountain has dominated Lithonia since the days of Kelvin Kight.

Class AAAA showdown: #6 Bainbridge Bearcats vs #3 Westside-Macon Seminoles. I am a Bainbridge fan, but have to give way to logic rather thanfalse hope. Bainbridge hasn't really put together a complete game and Coach Pilcher seems to realize it. Westside-Macon has great athletes, but so does Bainbridge. bainbridge could squeak out an upset or get run out of the stadium. Hope the first one shows up, but logically the second one will.

I love how Avondale is getting props for taking on Blessed Trinity this week. Why isn't Decatur vs Buford listed. Decatur has beaten a AAA
46-00 and the 4AA Region champion. They looked pretty good in the 1-3 quarters of the Hillgrove AAAA matchup. I know Buford is going to be a tough game, but Decatur is not just going to roll over for those kids. Look for this game to be a thriller. I welcome your thoughts.

Here is something to fire Lithonia up. Lithonia has not beaten Stone Mountain in varsity football since 1988. I was just starting Kindergarten. The time before that was 1986 and before that was 1977. That program has not had any potential since 1998 football season where they still did not have what it took to beat SMHS's fire power. To be honest Lithonia is bored with losing and trying to give themselves something to play for by painting our field last night. You guys have really bit off more than you can chew. We are none of Forsyth Central nor Chamblee. We intend on bringing our lunch pale.

Both Woodstock & Etowah ALSO lost to McEachern this year BUT one of the best games to watch this week is going to be the battle for TLP as Woodstock & Etowah match up tomorrow night.
Yes, EAST lost to McEachern last week but no one got as you put it "there buts handed to them" (by the way you spell that butts), that game came down to the wire and was not decided until just over 4 minutes to go when EAST fumbled on the McEachern 2+ yard line. Nothing but an exciting game for both teams and unless the Indians stumble they probably have the #1 spot in the Region locked up…and by the way, in NONE of my post did you EVER see me state EAST would "shut McEachern down"…Did I think EAST would win…YES…bottom line McEachern won and sooooooooo…
That leaves the 2,3,& 4 spots to be decided yet and since EAST, Woodstock & Etowah still have to play each other these games will have a huge bearing on who ends up where in our Region 5A. In case you don't understand how these standings work, it's better to be at the #1 & #2 spots based on teams you play in the playoffs and the number of HOME games you get, that's why #2 is now so important!
Frankly if you don't like reading about 5A and what we think is going to happen in it you probably shouldn't even be on this blog as that's what we do here…TALK FOOTBALL and what we think is going to happen week to week!!!

You defense can not stop our offense. Pick your poison. Run or Pass. You guys are a joke because you are the only ones who think you can play with us. You don't even think you can play with us deep inside. That's why you spray paint our field and text our players like little girls. Your players, your coaching, and your community all STINK!!!!! Pirate nation has agreed not to put anymore energy into this feud with you all because tomorrow you will no longer be in our way. We've decided to let you all win the verbal match while we talk with our pads and PHYSICALLY move you Bullpups out of our way. And I'm Out!!!!

Man Lithonia is a joke HaHAha there's no way My Alumni is going to lose the LIthonia. Lithonia has had some talent player Like Rod Brown,Marcus Camp, Reggie Bensley,Eric Hall,Bryan Appling, Reece Mccambell, Clifford Browning, Rober Freeman, Kelvin Kight you get my point they have had players but Stone mountain has always had better athletes and better coaching. What a minute three of Stone Mountain coaches are Lithonia alumni that goes to show you even Lithonia alumni want to be apart of that pirate pride. Lithonia C/O 93 how does Lithonia let three great players coach at your rival school. who is Lithonia head coach?
September 24th, 2009
1:55 pm
You must have beaten a team within the last 10 years at least for it to come close to being some sort of Rivalry. If Pirate Alumni is right about the history between Lithonia and Stone Mountain, then all Lithonia is is another team on Stone Mountain's schedule. There is no rivalry because Lithonia haven't won since 88. Micheal Jackson's BAD was about the drop the last time the Bulldogs beat the Mighty Pirates. Dirty Diana was a new song the last time the Bullpups tasted victory. Word on the Texts is some of your players wish they can come to SMHS!!!

Maybe that's why they are doing well this far in the season. And he was also the defensive coordinator at Lithonia H.S., Washington H.S., and Druid Hills H.S. He was also the QB coach at the now closed Harper H.S. in Atlanta. Dude has more football knowledge in one of his pinky fingers than White has in his whole old body!! What has White done?? He was a loser at McNair, even with all the talent they had. Your coach needs to retire. Football has passed him.
Your boys will be crushed tomorrow night!! And I'm done talking to you Lithonia losers. You are not worth the time.

I agree with Grizz Cannon Rules chill with your tick tick boom. not only is it annoying you are annoying. I can say all I want about Marietta beating yall and i think they can but i am not on here every week making my team look like they are the 1st not wait 2nd no wait 3rd no wait 4th no wait 5th thats right 5th best team in 5AAAAA to say you are going for the 2nd 3rd or 4th spot is funny to me considering you have to play EHS,WHS AND oh the one you forgot who has a better REGION RECORD THAN THE MIGHTY EAST PAULDING RADIERS. oh who is it you may ask???? That would be HARRISON so if your going to talk crap over a blog please dont do it when your team is tied for 5th place. So until you BEAT HARRISON WOODSTOCK AND ETOWAH. PLEASE stop with your tick tick boom thing. Also the boneyard might be the 9th or 10th worst stadium in the region.

I have to agree with Marietta Fan about the Boneyard. When we played there last year I expected a whole lot more than I saw. Sort of dreary and lackluster. The Raiders played a whole lot better than the stadium looked. I loved the game at Marietta, any closer and I could have made a couple tackles myself.

I don't think that Woodstock will stop the run very well thereby giving Etowah a slight edge over Woodstock…

You obviously haven't met our linebackers. I bet yah even Pops know that Carmicheal is a force to be messed with. Plus Etowah lost their RB to Ohio and I dont believe the new starter is a good as Boykin is.
September 24th, 2009

Yeah. Cannon you need to remember that you aren't invincible at your place. Woodstock came in and beat yah. Our band wasn't even there and it was ya'll's senior night.

Etowah RB'S had a great game against Cherokee, how have they done in the other games? Kell's all world RB had about 15 yards against Woodstock and McEarchern backs did not fair to well either. As Wolverine2Blazer stated our LB's will hit ya and hit ya hard. I have heard that a couple of the McEarchern kids are still in a tub of ice.

Of course others are ahead of the RAIDERS at this point in the schedule as the RAIDERS have only played 2 region games where most teams have played 3 or even 4 at this point. The Raiders had a BYE week early and are just now playing the region opponents.
In spite of what you imply these blogs are for braggin', some good natured dishin', and discussing where everyone thinks our teams will be at week to week. With that said I still think McEachern is looking like the #1 for our region and the 2, 3 and 4 spots are going to be EAST, Woodstock, and Etowah with the order yet to be decided. If this bothers you…SORRY…if Marietta comes into "THE BONEYARD" tomorrow night and beats the RAIDERS I will be one of the first on here discussing the game and congratulating you so bring it on…
your COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN…TICK…TICK…TICK…and you WILL
understand the BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! after tomorrow nights game!!!
As for your Harrison comment…do your homework…they barely beat Cherokee 21/16 who is 0/4, barely got by South Cobb 17/14 who is 1/3 and beat North Cobb who is 2/2. They got WHIPPED BAD by the only team with a winning record they played Peachtree Ridge 35/13!!!! They still have to play EAST, Etowah, Woodstock and McEachern!!! If they end up .500 this year it will be by a stroke of LUCK!!!

Wolverine fan…
"THE BONEYARD" is all about atmosphere and the community / fan support that our RAIDERS receive. EAST winning program run began building only in 2006 season so they have came a long way since then to be where they are now competing at the AAAAA level. A new athletic building was completed last year and improvements have been made each year to the stadium but you are correct that other schools have nicer / newer facilities. The biggest drawback to "THE BONEYARD" is size it's not large enough to host playoff games, temporary stands (costly) had to be brought in the last few years.

Wolverine Guys – Our backs this year are more by committee, as your right the big power back is on to D-1. However, it all starts with the O-line, and ours is stout! They are really coming together and the backs are seeing the holes much better. Your linebackers are well noted, and tough, but they will have their hands full backing up your undersized D-line, which should open up an underated passing attack. Be careful eight in the box will burn you!
Go Eagles!

ALL ABOARD!! The Mighty Griffin Bears should break out the BEAST-CLAW BASH ATTACK again on Forest Park for home coming this Friday . I was WAAAAY off in my prediction of the Bears losing by 4 last week against Mt. Zion. (I'll keep my day job I 'spoze!). An absolute BONE-CRUSHING stop on a critical fourth down for Mt. Zion just deflated any and all Bulldogs this side of Athens!! The crunching THUD generated from the shock-waves reportedly flattened South Clayton County as well. Trust me, that one hit was YOU-TUBE good. Great game though, as it was actually closer than the final score indicated (31-7). The Bears Den will be ROCKIN again for sure Friday. This weeks matchup should be no problem for the Bears super-speedy arsenal. Don't DARE overlook those mighty Griffin Bears. I sorta feel sorry for poor Forest Park, but i'm sure they are gamers and will show up ready…..just sayin…Get on Board the AIR-BEAR EXPRESS!!!

Just heard that PAULDING COUNTY schools are closed again tomorrow and that our game against Marietta has been postponed (per WSB TV) still checking this out…if anyone has updated info please post.
POPS / WOLVERINE FAN / Wolverine2Blazer…Might have to come watch the battle of TLP…Hmmmmmmmmmmmm!!! Now wearing my EAST shirt I wonder which side is safer to sit on…LOL!!!!

7:38 pm
Just for the record, wolverine fan- your defense is pretty good and your LBs are impressive…but I saw a different game than you in regard to our running backs. You boys made us work hard and had some nice stops…but I'd say overall we faired pretty well. Can't recall our total rushing yards but I feel safe saying it was over 200.
With #5, it seems it's not a matter of "if" but just a matter of "when" he's gonna bust one. Got a nice long one against you boys and iced the game against EP with a 35 yarder late…which came after he made an uncharacteristic fumble. Just a special kid and a complete running back from a physical, mental and heart standpoint.
Nobody in Blue and Gold was still in ice a week after the WS game. You boys hit hard and played hard but IMO, EP hit just a bit harder. Gonna be a war between you two the last week of the season!

Wolverine2Blazer – what's up with VSU? They gonna ever win again? I'm disagreeing with the Lt. Col. from Hinesville. I think a Mike OBrien defense can and will stop Etowah's running game.
September 24th, 2009
9:38 pm
Bowdon @ Darlington is the game to look at in class A. Two teams fighting dog it dog style. Bowdon beat them 12-6 last year, but Darlington could have came back at anytime. They just gave up to quickly. This year Bowdon has a good offense and Darlington has a good defense as to what I have heard. Who knows what is going to happen.

Cannon – Come join the TLP party! You should sit on the Etowah side only because you will be sitting on the far side the following week. Tomorrow night will be a War in the trenches. IF Etowah can control the line of scrimmage and keep the "fabled" LBs in check with a few long pass plays, then Etowah will move the ball. We were able to move it on McEachern, just couldn't punch it in.
Go Eagles!

I amsurprised to hear such talk from Stone Mountain and Lithonia sounds like a heated rivalry , I think Stone Mountain comes out on top . But as for Southwest we don't boast and we must not underestimate the potential of our opponents but we are definitely going to make a State Championship run this year. Ready to take on North Springs heard despite their record they have great athletes. Just know that if Griffin is still in it come playoff time we coming for retribution and thats plain and simple.

Un-Corrupting Congress: A System-Changing Solution
Submitted by Nancy Bordier on Wed, 02/06/2013 - 4:30pm
Last week, Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) abruptly announced his intention to retire from the Senate in 2014, on the heels of Harry Reid's failure to get the two parties to agree to reform the Senate's notorious filibuster after the 2012 election.
According to Harkin, the failure of filibuster reform will make it "virtually impossible" for Obama to carry out his vision for his second term. Read below the fold...

Consulting Engineers
The qualifications, experience, fees and availability of engineers may vary considerably. It is, therefore, important that a dam owner seek proposals from several engineers and carefully explore their qualifications and experience related to dams of the type and size under consideration, as well as their fees and availability, before making a selection.
Additional information may be found in the brochure, Dam Ownership - Procuring the Services of a Professional Engineer (579 kb), published by the Association of State Dam Safety Officials. The brochure lists several important attributes a prospective engineer should have. For projects in Vermont, they can be stated as:
The engineering consulting firms listed below have experience with dam design, construction or reconstruction. It is not meant to be an exhaustive list. DEC does not intend to imply a certification of those on this list, nor for the work they may perform. This list is meant to provide a resource to dam owners who require the services of Vermont licensed professional engineers experienced with dams. Firms are listed alphabetically.
Written requests to be included on this list (including materials describing the firm's experience with dams) or updated information on listed firms should be sent to Steve Bushman.

When Laurel Volunteer Fire Department Chief Trey Kelso moved to the city in 1999 with his future wife, Lisa, their decision was based on a somewhat unusual criteria.
"When we decided where to live, we centered where we were moving to where I was going to volunteer," Kelso said, chuckling, inside the station located off Cherry Lane.
The 36-year-old Kelso, who is wrapping up his second month on the job, said he hopes to continue facilitating the department's shift back to "the old school" way of doing things.
What does that entail? For Kelso, it's about restoring and maintaining the quality and quantity of the volunteer corps.
"We were at a point over the last couple of years where we were losing members," Kelso said. "Right around the housing bubble, we lost a lot of members because people had to focus on their work and make sure they were employed."
Kelso estimates that the department, which now boasts an 80-member firefighter corps, was down to almost half that number at its lowest point.
"We had to adapt," Kelso said. "There were some changes we needed to make."
Kelso said the department upped the standard of accountability it held for its volunteers, making sure that people were following through on their commitments.
"The past chief (Travis Pearcy) did an excellent job of reining that in, and now we are developing on what he put forth," he said.
Kelso said the department has also done a better job of soliciting interest in young recruits, and has worked harder to make sure they follow through on their training.
As a result, the department has received an influx of new volunteers, which, as Kelso said, comes with a lot of "hand-holding."
Former volunteer chief and current Assistant Chief Brad Lovell believes Kelso will be up to the challenge.
"We always deal with asking people to take time out of their days to staff the station," Lovell said. "Family always comes first, but your family at the firehouse also needs you. Trey reiterates that in person as well as by email and on the phone. He's not 'do as I say, not as I do,' he really subscribes to the theory practice what you preach."
And while the department has bulked back up, possible budget cuts by the Prince George's County government could threaten the station again. According to Kelso, the volunteer station, like all other stations in the county, works with the government's Career Emergency Response Department.
From 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, the station is staffed with four career firefighters supplied by the county. However, that support could change should the county scale back their support of career personnel.
"They are asking a lot of volunteers, so it is important we have a strong corps," Kelso said. "This department will survive. The citizens of Laurel have always had a good relationship with this department, we are really focusing on tradition, recruiting and retention."
While volunteers may be needed, signing up for the LVFD is not something that should be taken lightly.
"We take pride in training our people; we take pride in establishing criteria above and beyond," said Lovell, who served as chief from 2009-2010.
Lovell spoke about the challenges of balancing volunteer work and family life, something which the chief must do better than anyone else.
"It's like a second full-time job," said Kelso, whose wife works as an administrative volunteer at the station.

When is registration?
Registration varies but typically begins on April 1st and continues thru mid-June --- see the Registration pages of each of the EYSA clubs for more information. Please note that if your child is playing for the first time we require a copy of a birth certificate for proof of age. Now with on-line registration, it is important to know that your child isn't counted as fully registered until a copy of a birth certificate is received by the Club. Registration is done online and advertised in local papers, with signs and flyers at local schools.
How much does it cost?
Please see each clubs' Registration page for current costs as they vary slightly by club. There may also be a penalty for late registration. Also, if you register late, there is no guarantee that you will be placed on the same team as last year. Registration amounts are a factor of costs to bring you the facilities and administration required to run the soccer Club. Field maintenance and rentals are a big slice of the budget. These costs increase every year.
When are the games?
Most U-6 and U-7 games are played on Saturday mornings. Most U-8 to U-13 games are played on Saturdays. For boys soccer U-14 and up the games are on Sunday. Girls play on Saturday until U-15, then switch to Sundays. These days can't be changed as the individual clubs only have so many time slots for games each weekend day, and the schedule needs to fit all of the Eastside teams on the schedule. Teams generally play around 10 games for the season.
When is the season?
The REC season begins just after Labor Day in September and runs on consecutive weekends until completed --- typically about 10 weeks in total. Practices typically start in mid August but exact start date depends on the coach. For Club Select teams with a fall season the season will run longer into early December for regular season and will extend into the early winter for tournament play. For High School girls Select (GU15 and above) the season may start immediately after the HS season finishes and continue through March. Select teams typically begin practice and pre-season tournament play in May/June.
How is EYSA and its associated clubs managed and administered?
EYSA is powered by volunteers, particularly parent coaches without whom our programs would be impossible. Coaches not only put in hours on the sidelines (no matter the weather!) but also behind the scenes developing practice and game plans to create a fun and educational experience for our children. Any coach will tell you the rewards far outweigh the effort, but it's nice to have help! Please consider volunteering to support EYSA soccer. There are many opportunities beyond coaching, from Team Parent, to helping at Club events, to serving on the Board of Directors.
How much playing time should my child reasonably expect?
EYSA rules require that all recreation level players play at least 50% of every game. The only exceptions allowed are if the player misses practice, or their actions require some form of reasonable discipline by the coach. This 50% rule continues into U12 Club Select and then for U13 and above Club Select, playing time is at the discretion of the coach.
What ages does the club support?
EYSA supports Girls and Boys programs for U-6 through U-18. Ages are referred to as U-xx, where the 'U' indicates "under", and xx is the age. So, U-8 indicates an age group that is under 8 years old at the time of cutoff. The cutoff date is July 31, so in order for a child to play U-8, they would have to be not older than 7 years old on July 31st of that playing season. A player needs to be at least 5 years of age as of the cutoff date to be added to a team. Each EYSA club usually maintains an Age Chart to help to determine your child's U-xx level.
What equipment will my child need?
The only thing any player really needs is a ball and the desire to play. Footwear can range from indoor soccer shoes (grooved rubber sole), to turf shoes (small rubber nubs), to cleats (10-12 molded plastic pieces on soles), to studs (6-8 metal spikes on soles). The field surface and weather conditions will determine the appropriate footwear. The flatter and harder the field, players will want flat, soft shoes (indoor or turf). Playing on grass usually requires cleats. Older teens and adults may benefit from studs, and then usually only when the game is being played on a field with exceptionally long or wet grass. Shin guards are also mandatory equipment for any official game. Shin guards can cost as little as $5 or more than $50, depending on the materials. They can range from a simple piece of plastic to state-of-the-art synthetic materials. The strength of the shin guard materials is in direct proportion to the strength of the opponent's kicking ability.
What are my options for playing Premier level soccer within EYSA?
EYSA offers a single great option for Premier soccer --- that is EFC (Eastside Football Club). Premier soccer is intended for players looking for development at the highest levels. The individual EYSA clubs all offer Club Select programs, but if you feel that your child is ready for year-round top flight soccer you can contact and tryout for EFC
How is EFC different from Crossfire Premier?
EFC is the Premier club option for EYSA and Crossfire is the Premier club option for the Lake Washington Soccer Association. Crossfire Select is the equivalent program to EYSA's Club Select programs.
Are all programs offered by EYSA clubs fully sanctioned under the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) rules and regulations?
Yes, but mileage may vary. What this means is that USSF recognizes a myriad of soccer affiliate organizations which it sanctions and with whom it encourages "interplay" between affiliates. But not all affiliate organizations are created equal with respect to what programs, policies and philosophies that they offer. EYSA operates under the guidance and bylaws of the WYS (Washington Youth Soccer) which is itself a member of USYS (United States Youth Soccer) - one of the affiliates of the USSF. There are currently some programs being offered, however, by EYSA clubs which are conducted using non-USYS and non-WYS rules and philosophies.
