Frequently Asked Questions-How does spay/neuter save lives?
Every day 10,000 children are born compared to over 70,000 cats and dogs. At this rate there will NEVER be enough homes for all of them. This results in many of them being euthanized in shelters simply because they were born. By sterilizing our pets we help reduce the number being born with no homes to go to, insuring that more of them will have a family of their own for life. -Why should I spay/neuter my pet? Sterilized pets are: *Less likely to run away *Less likely to bite *Less likely to urine mark/spray *Less likely to develop certain types of cancer *More trainable *No messy heat cycles -If I neuter my male dog will he be as big, strong and protective? While neutering can help reduce aggression, it has not been shown to reduce growth or physical health. Actually, a neutered male dog is protected from prostate illness such as cancer later in life. -What if I can not afford to spay/neuter my animal? Most cities provide a discounted registration rate for sterilized animals, and with low cost spay/neuter available to you it may actually save you money in the long run. -What if my animal never leaves our yard or home? Although it may be your intention that your pet never leave your yard or home, accidents do happen and it only takes one time. Just ask your local animal control officer how many times he or she has heard that one! It is these unplanned litters that fare the worst. -Does low cost mean low quality? Absolutely not. HOPE spay/neuter clinics adhere to a medical protocol model dictated by the Humane Alliance and certified as High Quality Volume and Low Cost. For more information on our medical protocols visit http://www.humanealliance.org/. -Do you use a real veterinarian? Yes. All veterinarians employed by HOPE are DVM's and have received specialized training in spay/neuter surgery specifically in addition to their years in private practice. -What about pain medication for my pet? We consider the comfort of your pet our priority. All pet patients receive two injections of pain medication while in our care. Also, patients are sent home with oral pain medication at no additional cost. -Will my pet need to have staples or sutures removed? Unless you are told otherwise, your pet does not have external sutures. All sutures are absorbable on the inside and the very outer layer of skin is held together with surgical glue. -Shouldn't my female cat/dog have one litter or heat cycle before spaying? No. Actually spaying before their first heat cycle will greatly decrease the chances of your pet from developing mammary tumors and other possible health concerns. -When should I have my pet spayed/neutered? The sooner the better. Some surgeries are even being done as early as 8 weeks if the animal is big enough and healthy enough for the surgery. The animal will be that much more healthy after the surgery and it will also prevent unwanted litters. |

The Community of Disc Golfers and About All Things Disc Golf
Greetings DGRUS World,
Cassidy aka "Wicked Dyes" started something interesting. He created "The DGRUS Great Disc Adventure". With this concept he asks " A club to track the Great Disc Adventure. If a disc labeled with The DGRUS Great Disc Adventure is found please take a photo and post it on here along with your name/ date/ and location found then leave it for another to find".
Also he asks
How to prepare a disc for its adventure!
On the underside of the disc put:
The DGRUS Great Disc Adventure
Take photo of you using the disc
Go to:
upload photo and leave name, date, and location
Now sign disc and leave for someone else to find and use!
Once you have sent out a disc for the first time please create a discussion with the Disc Name, Color, Stamp (distinguishing marks) as the tittle.
This is a great concept. A way to track a lost disc. But I would like to start something similiar yet different. I am taking Cassidy's idea and taking it a step further. I am stuck here in Florida. And realistically, will be for a long time. I would love to travel and experience many different places and Disc Golf Courses. But since I can not, there is nothing that says that I can't sent a disc of mine all over the place. What am I talking about ?
"The Brotherhood of the Traveling Disc"
There are fifty states in the United States. For those who do not know here is a list...............
I will need to find a friend in each state. This DGRUS Friend has to befriend me, send me their address via private mail (I will not spam it, and I'll only send it to the person needing it) and promise to do the following.......
* Upon receiving the disc, take it to their local Course.
* Take a picture of themself holding the Disc in front of their Course Sign
* Play the course using the Disc when possible
* Upon returning home, go to this discussion, post the picture, and write a little story about it at their course
* Mail the Disc to the Next person on the list.
So far, I would like the following people (Currently on my Friend's list) to participate :
Ed Horst..................... Mr Ed Florida
Cassidy......................Wicked Dyes Michigan
Mark Ellis....................Mark Ellis Michigan
Shawn West.................Dookville California
Donny Olow..................Donny Olow Morley Field California. First place I ever played
David Reisner............... Kirk Hawaii
Steve West..................Steve West Minnesota
Tim...........................Tim York New Mexico
Monte........................ Moe Dee New Jersey
Brett..................... firstname.lastname@example.com Wisconsin
If they all accept, all I'll need is 42 more friends. If they do not accept, I'll need someone to step up and take over representing that state.
Would you be willing to be part of the "Brotherhood" ?
I can not make this happen unless I have enough friends to cover every state.
Join the "Brotherhood of the Traveling Disc"
Eric. Please do not get confused.
"The Brotherhood of the Traveling Disc"
is Different then
The DGRUS Great Disc Adventure.
My Disc shall not get lost and hope it turns up somewhere else.
I want it to travel to fifty states, fifty people, fifty courses and have fifty pictures and stories.
I want to get to ten states at least.
I am projecting a week and a half in each state.
Travel / mail to, get time to play at course, download picture and story, and send to next state.
Washington, California, Michigan, Florida, Tennessee, Mississippi, Virginia and Indiana on Board. Forty two remaining states.
Quick Question. Is there a state in the US that does not have a Course in it ?

Your Questions About Grocers, Banks and more
Question #1: Brent from New York has a question about the grocers. Grocery stocks like Safeway (SWY) and Kroger (KR) have been on a tear the last year with gains of 50% or more. Is there further upside potential in this sector?
Jeff Macke thinks Brent can be long the grocers. "That's a great way to be involved with retail right now," he says. He particularly likes Safeway and Kroger, and adds stay away from Whole Foods (WFMI).
Question #2: Tayler from Ohio asks, with the flat yield curve, would the guys look to get out of regional banks like Fifth Third Bank (FITB) and into large money center banks like JP Morgan (JPM) and Citigroup (C)?
Tim Strazzini prefers the money centers like JP Morgan and Citigroup, with Morgan Stanley (MS) coming in a close third. Of the regional banks, Tim happens to be bullish on Fifth Third Bank, but that's one of the only names in the regional space he would own.
Question #3: Margaret from New York wants to know which companies might benefit from the modernization of American refineries.
Foster Wheeler (FWLT) is where you need to be, Eric Bolling says. It has plants that use innovative technology and it also upgrades refineries. He also likes Flowserve (FLS) and Fluor (FLR) in the space.
Question #4: In a special Celebrity Face 2 Face, Tony Potts, co-host of Access Hollywood, asks if the guys can convince him why he should not invest in real estate, because he thinks it's the way to go.
Guy Adami was going to give Tony some statistical analysis of price-to-earnings and price-to-book ratios, but he's got another tactic.
When Potts played in the McDonald's All-American Celebrity Basketball Tourney back in February, he scored 14 points and 8 rebounds and his team won the game, 40-21. Potts was actually named MVP of the game, even though he played alongside star athletes like LaDainian Tomlinson and Reggie Bush.
If that can happen, then even real estate can higher, Guy says.

To Eagles Fan Around the Country:
I started this group because for the TRUE eagles fans. I'm a 3rd generation eagles fan. My grandfather was a birds fan, my father was a birds fan, and my brother and i are birds fans. I remember the days at the VET with the 700 level and being one of the worst teams in the league. The definition of a true fan is a fan who can remember the bad times in a good way. Personally i can not stand the new stadium, its true pretty for this city. Philly is a blue collar city, this isn't san fran or even houston. If i had my way i would have torn up the concrete in the vet and made it a grass stadium. They city i think purposely seperated the fans because they knew that the 700 level was rowdy because we were all united. Plus it was alot easier and cheaper getting tickets for the vet. The most my family paid was 45 a ticket now unless you have a fast finger you can't get a ticket under 130. But whatever this group isnt about remembering the good ole days, well maybe sometimes, its about talking about our current group of rejects who we call team.
This year to me is the put up or shut up year for this Eagles Era. If you look at the schedule its not even close to as difficult as last year. The eagles have the team to win it all but will it happen? Donovan McNabb has to come back to full speed. He better not rush because we don't need a culpepper. I know the media has been saying that he is recovering at a fast pace, but until he is on the field getting hit by guys who don't give a s$%t if he gets hurt or not then we just don't know. Donovan has to step up and be a leader. I know most people say that look at what hes done and look at his numbers. I reply to those by saying watch the damn games, Don't read me stats and then glorify the man. He never gets in peoples faces, like how could he have not ripped off pinkston or lj smiths head those guys always alligator arm passes and never had him up their ****. Garcia showed us what we wanted mcnabb to be.
I think donovan is the most gifted qb in the game but i think he lacks the confidence or maybe its perseverance. Anyone who has a brain knows the reason Reid wanted this guy was because he had all the same tools as steve young. Personally joe montana may have been the best leader, marino the best passer, but young was the most complete quarterback ever. A guy who could run, throw short, take hits, and throw deep is the most coveted type of qb in the game. The truth is that Reid and this city puts too much on him. There is not a QB in the league who throws as much as mcnabb. And his ratio for tds to int is impeccable. The thing is that is he really cut out for the west coast offense. I think his arm is too strong and he puts to much on a ball that should be thrown litely. Take notice that when garcia stepped in the recievers all started catching the ball. The worst thing that happened to him was TO not because of the bs he put him through but because this guy was what the eagles needed. TO was a leader! I know everyone in the area makes him to be the antichrist but if it was not for him the superbowl would not have been even close. The eagles of 2004 should have went 15-1 because for the fans who don't remember, the starters sat the majority of the last three games. TO is to blame though because he signed that crappy contract lurie gave him so he should have been a man and said i screwed up and thats it. I guess that idiot agent of his did not tell him that if he retired with the birds he would have had constant revenue for the rest of his life because the fans would have adored him.
Now on to this season. Can anyone tell me why haven't the eagles considered to make jevon kearse switch to Strong side linebacker. For those of you who don't know kearse was a linebacker in college it was fisher who made him an end. Imagine this upfront you have bunkley, patterson, howard, and scott. In the linebackers you have gocong, spikes and kearse with trotter and gaither rotating. The in the back field have james, dawk, brown, and sheppard. Now heres the logic behind this configuration. Bunkley timed at an end speed level at the combine and he has the size that has not been utilized in the league since before the jevon kearse ends took over. Remember reggie white was 6-5 330 and clyde simmons was like 6-7 350, bunkley is 6-3 and 310. Patterson was ok last year but i think he got worn down because darwin walker was not contributing as much. Howard is a beast people fail to realize this guy was doubled and even tripled last year because he was the main threat on the line. Thus why cole looked so good. Scott is the big tackle we have been looking for and he is from the bears d so he is legit. Linebacker is the big topic this year, i think spikes gives this squad the credibility it needed. I think if he plays the middle i think he will be one of the best mikes in the league because he is the rare talent linebacker who can do it all. This guy was sent out of buffalo not because of the injury but because he had a big cap number and i think the owner of the bills is trying to pull some crap like in the movie major league. Make the team so bad that none of the fans show up and they can move. lets be honest spikes for darwin walker, are you kidding spikes has been dominant his whole career and walker has been corey simons shadow his whole career. Kearse has the speed and agility to be a good linebacker and he would be 100x better then dhani jones. If gocong can make the transition he would make a very fierce front seven because he has the build of jevon kearse. Don't forget you still got trotter, gaither, mccoy and bradley to rotate in. Now in the secondary Will james would be a good cover corner if he plays the way he did in new york. He also has the bobby taylor size that neither lito or sheldon have. Dawk is and will be to the day he retires the leader of the D. He has lost a step but a step for him is a glitch for everyone else. He plays his heart out every play and he does his job very well. Lito is one of the best corners in the league but the thing is about him that if you get past him thats it. On to the Strong safety, personally i think sheldon browns hit on reggie bush showed that this guy can level anyone and he can cover pretty damn good. plus mikell can still come in on nickel and rotate. I used to play football so this is just my opinion of what i think the defense should look like.
On Offense its pretty much a closed case. Mcnabb at the helm. Westbrook at the rb. Parry at Full. Brown at the 1. Curtis at the 2. Baskett at the 3. And bloom and lewis splitting time. Bloom could be a better slot receiver then lewis because maybe he won't drop as many passes. LJ back at TE. Now the line is where i would get creative. Justice, Gilles, Jackson, Andrews, and runyan. Thats a big bunch of guys i think tra should be cut because of cap space or maybe traded. I think his play has been down hill for the past few years, he had a decent year last year but he has fresh legs or better yet a fresh back behind him in winston justice. Remember in 2006 justice was ranked the number 2 tackle and that was sandwiched between ferguson and mcneill and those guys if i remember did pretty well. Remember you still got herremans and nick cole for back ups. The eagles line coach, castillo, i think is one of the best at devloping linemen. The key to this offense is balance. West is not the fragile guy the philly media cries about plus hunt and buck are behind him. there needs to be a 50 50 play. I think the reason the defense looked so bad last season was because the offense would score to quickly and they would be constantly back out on the field. The two saints games is proof of this. Payton let reid score quickly while his running back tore up our defense. It sounds ridiculous but i think that is what happened. Plus the eagles have i think the biggest line to run behind so there should be no reason not to.
Sounds ridiculous but the area in most need of improvement is the special teams. you can not be constantly giving teams the ball in the area of the 35 or forty. Dirk johnson is terrible and the eagles haven't been the same on ST since ike reese left.
For the Rest of the Division
The Redskins i think are the biggest threat and thats not saying much. Their offense is getting good and campbelll is progessing. They have two good backs, two good receivers and a great tight end. I just think they should have traded their pick to get maybe a guard or something in the second round to give campbell more protection but dan snyder is an idiot when it comes to GM. He plays the game as if it was madden football. Putting a crap load of over priced talent only wins you a super bowl in madden. Their defense other then secondary is not scary. The linebackers got older, the still don't have a line and they got back fred smoot. WOW! Being that they still have gibbs i think they got 8-8 or 9-7
The Giants are a joke this year. Reuben Droughns to replace tiki barber. uh huh! releasing pettitgout in favor of.... no one, great decision. Manning is shell shocked, he has been hit more times in a season then peyton has in a career. And they cut his best lineman and his goto guy retired. I think plaxico burress is a joke because he it how tall and he still doesn't do anything. Shockey has got all the respect in the world from. I used to think he was a loud mouth punk until he got hit by dawk i think lost his helmet and did not give a F@#$. If only LJ possesed that kind of mentality. If he goes up on free agency soon then LURIE break out the check book. On defense Strahan is not getting any younger and osi i think fed off the double teams strahan woould take. Pierce is the only good lineback left and the secondary is pretty much the same as last year.
I say NY fans get ready for Darren Mcfadden and bill cowher 4-12 or 6-10.
Lastly Big D. Well they are a wild card in my eyes, they could be complete crap or they could be good. I don't trust wade phillips as the guy to replace parcells. The thing is that i say if parcells lost his head down there with jones and owens then what is the not so winning phillips gonna do. I personally think this is a filler year for them and its a make or break for romo. Romo in all his limited wisdom thought that eh i might as well give them a whole year before signing a big deal. I think thats going to bite him because i think defenses figured him out. The seahawks thing happens but he lost to the lions and it was a meaningful game for them because if they won and the eagles lost to the falcons then dallas would have won the division and a home game. If the lions figure you out then you got some problems. the Lions cannot even figure out how to draft. The cowboys really did not do much to improve that defense either. So now you have a parcells team without parcells. I gurantee terry glenns worth decrease. The offense with be run to jones pass to owens and if that fails pack it in. Because owens would have never had so many balls thrown his way if he would have played under parcells in the jets or even the pats. I think they go 7-9 +1 or -1
Onto the NFC being the weaker conference. I don't believe thats true i believe the competition is just closer in the nfc then in the AFC. There is a wider gap between teams in the afc. Like look at the afc south Indy, jacksonville, houston, and tennesee. Are any of those teams near indy, no. The west and the north are the two close in competion in the AFC. In the nfc all the division are pretty close
Here are my division winners
NFC EAST: Eagles
NFC NORTH: Chicago
NFC SOUTH: New Orleans
NFC WEST : San Fransico
Wild CARDS: Arizona and Carolina
Afc EAST : New England
AFC North: Baltimore
Afc South: Indy
AFC WEST : San Diego
Wild Cards: Jets and Titans
Before anyone crucify me on any of this. I like a true iggles fan am writing this at 1 am while semi buzzed. Don't take anything to literal!

Got it (and a huge lot of vintage and current Barbies) at a yard sale for $3.00! It's missing some windows and doors... I asked Santa for this for like 6 years straight, and my parents could never afford it! It's going to get a repaint, if I can ever wrestle it away from my daughters! ;)

Many times there are multiple airports near the city you want to visit, so you can often find a cheaper flight into a different airport. This is especially useful if you are getting a rental car, since it might be better to drive a bit farther in order to save money on airfare. If you're booking an international flight, you probably want the closest major airport, otherwise if you're a pilot you may be looking for a local airport.

It was pitch black. The only light came from the open door and a few illumines bubbling vials. And a set of eyes...
There was a horrible screeching sound as the pair of eyes moved higher into the air. They came back down, and dissapeared. Loud, thundering footsteps trailed away from them. The screeching echoed down the corridors as the beast retreated.
"Well that was odd," Parker said. "You'd think that would want to defend their home, not run away from the intruders." Parker grinned. and put his gun away. The sudden sound of hundreds of different primal screams traveling down the hallway, getting louder and louder made Parker jump.
as if ignoring the screams, Reece replied with "Do you think mine and Carlys arms have anything to do with it? Maybe they think we're one of them?"
"I don't know Reece," Parker said. "But it might!" He whirled around and fired into the darkness. One of the creatures howled in pain, and its cry grew quieter and queiter as it retreated down the corridor. Parker turned to face Reece and Carly. As he opened hi mouth to speak, a large gray hand grabbed him and began dragging him backwards. "Just shoot!" he screamed as he dissapeared into the darkness.
Reece panicked, and unleashed a hail of bullets into the darkness, before realising what he might have done.
Carly stood and watched in horror as he new friend was dragged away, and the other shot wildly at him, what the hell is wrong with him?
The thing that was had Parker in it's grasp shrieked. Parker covered his ears. It was horrible. He reached for his gun, and was able to just barely grab it with his fingertips. He pulled it out of his pocket, and dropped it immediately. There was a shot and the beast stumbled. It let out another shriek and kept running as fast as it could. Parker noticed that it was now limping. Did I hit it? He thought. No. I couldn't have. Was it Reece?
"Reece!" parker screamed at the top of his lungs. "Help!"
"Carly, come on!" Reece yelled as he ran after the Parker - now a lot more composed.
"I... I.. cant..." she mumbled as she dropped to one knee. Her dress lifted to her thigh as she did so, revealing deformed, grey legs. She was worse than either had thought, yet kept it to herself

Sonny thanks a lot for posting this buddy. I think it's so weird that the biggest star in the world use to fly commercial sometimes. I wonder why he waited until 75' to buy his own plane. I couldn't imagine being on the plane that Elvis is on, that would be so cool. Every time you see Elvis on footage like this he always turns around, smiles and waves. So many of today stars should pay attention of how he treated people. After all, Elvis wrote the book on how to be a super star.
The guy that got out of the first limo with the big black hat, who was that?
Love Elvis...The Greatest
RIP Tommy
Really awesome video. Thanks so much for posting this. It definately looks like 1973 as Elvis appears heavier than 1971. The cisco outfits were always classy, IMHO. Thanks again.

woodychandler comes through with yet another canned beer. Poured from a 12 oz. can. This beer almost exploded out of the can and settled down with a caramel color and 1.5 inches of head. Smell is rather mild, some hops are present. Taste is also hops up front, some grains, a tad bitter at the finish. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall was a refreshing and enjoyable beer.

look: 3.75 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
The beer pours a slightly off white and foamy head. The beer is a hazy amber color that is a little bit copper and leans towards the red side. The beer smell is a yeasty and caramel malty smell with a bit of alcohol on the nose. The hops are a slight note but still make an appearance. The beer has a much stronger hop presence than in the smell. The hop taste is balanced by the malt taste. Similar to the smell, the malts primarily consist of a sweet and light caramel taste. Additionally, the beer has a slight mineral taste as well as a bit of alcohol. The feel is crisp and lean with biting carbonation. A pretty good lager and shocking that this came from a MillerCoors subsidiary.

3.95/5 rDev +8.8%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
Pours a hazy amber gold color with a massive 2 finger foamy beige head that was full of little bubbles and faded slowly, with craters forming in the top of the head, leaving good foamy lacing and rings as it went down.
Smells of sweet malt, caramel, floral hops, lemon zest, tangerine, grains, wheat bread and yeast; surprisingly potent malty goodness in this nose that was a lot more than most lagers put out with a very sweet overall nose.
Tastes like the nose, but the sweetness is more malt and brown sugar with the hops adding light spices and balance; flavor is a combo of sweet malt, caramel, floral hops, lemon zest, piney hops, grains, wheat bread, toffee, mild spices like coriander and cinnamon, biscuit, nut and yeast; a lot more complex tasting than I had anticipated and while basically a malty beer with hoppy accents, it worked for me and was tasty and enjoyable. Very basic in it's finished product, but the flavors that show up throughout are well defined and work well with the others.
Mouthfeel is light and watery with low carbonation, a light to medium body and dry bready finish that has a slight hop bitterness combined with a grainy sweet aftertaste.
Overall this was a nice middle of the road beer that shocked the hell out of me since the macro owned stigma can give misconceptions and decreased interest, but my friend Vinny insisted I try it as he had 2 cases brought to NY so I thank him again for sharing a few with me. A definite session beer that goes down smooth and easy, glad these escaped Colorado and made it to NY as they were easy to put down and enjoy.

Medium sized off white head quickly settles into a nice lasting lacing above a super clear copper colored beer.
Medium roasted caramel malt aroma with a touch of light hops on a lighter aroma.
Caramel malts that have a well roasted malt quality to them give this lager its warm malty taste.
A light dryish aftertaste with a bit of the caramel malt tastes remaining on this medium bodied beer.
A pretty decent tasting amber, drinks pretty easily.

The top safety feature of any vehicle is the braking system. The braking system is perhaps just as important as the engine; you ought to avoid driving if even a single component in the braking system isn't in good shape. The components in the braking system are exposed to substantial levels of wear considering that you make use of your brake when you decelerate or come to a halt. Among the components that's prone to damage is the Wheel Cylinder. The Wheel Cylinder is an important component of the braking system because it is the one that causes the brake shoes to press against the brake drum. Because of the nature of its function, the Wheel Cylinder suffers from a great deal of friction; and as you are aware, friction is the leading cause of wear and tear. The Wheel Cylinder is made to be hard-wearing, but it could only put up with so much punishment. Give consideration to buying a new Volkswagen Wheel Cylinder when your old one is already faulty.
Look for these signs to properly assess if the Wheel Cylinder needs a replacement: rust, old age, or deterioration. The moment you've made certain that you do require a new Volkswagen Wheel Cylinder, the practical thing to do is to order one straight away. Safety should be a priority of any vehicle owner. If one of your braking system components is busted, then your safety while travelling is already compromised before you have even backed up from the driveway. Do not be stubborn by insisting on getting behind the wheel even though your Wheel Cylinder is malfunctioning; you'll just wind up hurting yourself.
Replacing the Wheel Cylinder is the best option as having your car repaired will just be a temporary solution. The Volkswagen Wheel Cylinder will prove to be a worthwhile purchase since it's both heavy-duty and high-performing. The Volkswagen Wheel Cylinder is cost-effective and easy to install, that is why there's just no reason why you should delay in purchasing it.

ENGLEWOOD — Despite six fumbles, eight penalties, an interception and spotting its opponent two touchdowns, the Palmetto Ridge High football team rallied for a 22-14 victory Friday night.
Sophomore running back Ron Johnson powered the Bears' offense with 116 yards and a touchdown, breaking countless tackles and attacking the heart of Lemon Bay's defense all night. Junior quarterback Sean Hatch provided a balanced attached with 118 yards and touchdown.
Palmetto Ridge, however, received plenty of help from the Manta Rays in the form of four fumbles (three lost), seven penalties and an interception early in the fourth quarter.
While Palmetto Ridge likely will have to clean up its penalties and ball security in order to continue winning, coach Dan Newbrough acknowledged such challenges are expected from a young team like the Bears.
"Our biggest thing with the young team — we've got a lot of sophomores playing — is the mistakes," Newbrough said. "Getting them locked into varsity football and being in the right spot, that's the biggest thing we're looking for."
While the Bears opened with a quick three and out, the host Mantas needed just one play to reach the end zone.
Senior running back Andrew Taylor took a handoff off tackle and raced down the sideline, breaking a host of tackles at the 20 en route to a 49-yard score. The extra point but Lemon Bay up 7-0.
Palmetto Ridge's next possession ended with a fumbled snap – one of the three the Mantas recovered. Four plays later Taylor plunged in for a 1-yard score, Lemon Bay added an extra point and led 14-0 less than 4 minutes into the game.
After allowing 109 yards on just five plays the Bears' defense tightened up to hold Lemon Bay to just 181 its final 50 plays. Taylor finished with 201 yards on 27 carries but the Mantas struggled to find balance with a 3-for-12 passing night.
Lemon Bay head coach David Ogilvie, like Newbrough, pointed to mental mistakes as his team's biggest challenge moving forward.
"That's just beating yourself," Ogilvie said. "To be a good team you can't beat yourself. You've got to play one team; you can't play against two."
Palmetto Ridge certainly flashed explosive potential with a 69-yard touchdown run from Johnson in the first quarter that was negated by a personal foul at least 20 yards behind the play. Johnson did score on a 55-yarder in the second that pulled the Bears within six points after a two-point conversion by Jordan Hagadorn.
And the passing game also flashed big play ability with Hatch's 54-yard touchdown to Vincent Cirone in the third quarter.
Palmetto Ridge hopes to showcase a little more discipline when it hosts Gulf Coast on Friday.
"Every game that we come into we have the approach that we're going to win the game," Newbrough said. "We are a young team and we're still learning, so we've still got a ways to go."

I always look forward to Jeremy Scott's limited edition collabs with French leather goods company Longchamp.
My favorite is the Gold Card my friend Victor brought back from Paris in 2008
Mark Nicdao got me the Pills, also from Paris
This is cute
I really wanted this one. Then I thought, do I really need another one?
This Spring 2013, Jeremy Scott does Leopard Flourish, his new limited-edition design in Longchamp's Le Pliage® holdall.
Leopard spots, baroque swirls, and the unmistakable typography of the US dollar are bound together by a bold, gold color scheme. Made of fine-quality cotton canvas trimmed with dark brown cowhide leather, only 2,500 were produced worldwide.
Find them at Rustan's Makati and Shangri-la Plaza.

Hand dyed and enzyme washed cotton gauze scarf.

Brand: Pleasure Principle
Origin: United States
In addition to their work on the Pleasure Principle line, Europe-born designers Diva Pittala and Adrian Cowen work as artists and sculptors — under the shared acronym C.R.E.E.P. — so it's no surprise that an avant-garde aesthetic pervades their work. Unexpected shapes (like a hoodie with kimono-esque sleeves, or an elongated bomber jacket) abound in their designs, as do surprising fabrics and clever graphic prints. The NYC-based label's designs have picked up by local retailers, as well as ones as far afield as Berlin, Tokyo, and beyond.

Dresser, Mirror (optional)
Add extra storage to your bedroom or your child's bedroom with the 54-Inch Windsor 6-Drawer Dresser. Simple, relaxed design features let this dresser blend in easily with many decor styles. The six drawers feature rear box joints and French dovetail joinery on the drawer fronts for strength and resilience. Metal drawer glides ensure smooth drawer operation as you store clothing and other bedroom items in the drawers. In addition to loving its solid rubberwood construction, you'll appreciate this dresser's casual design features, including round wooden knobs, decorative grooves under the top lip, and a sensible kick plate.
This dresser is finished using a high-build, five-step finishing process involving sealer coats, sanding, and multiple finish color coats. This process produces a durable finish. Choose from several finish options to complement any casual, cottage-style bedroom in your home.
This dresser can be ordered with a matching portrait mirror. The solid rubberwood frame features decorative grooves under the molded crown, as well as top edge that matches the simple lines of the dresser's kick plate. The mirror measures 29.875L x 2W x 41.875H inches. Both the dresser and the mirror ship fully assembled, so you can put them to good use immediately.
The beauty and benefits of rubberwood: Hailing from the maple family of trees, the rubber tree is used in the manufacture of high-end furniture. It is valued for its dense grain, minimal shrinkage, attractive color, and acceptance of different finishes. It is also prized as an "environmentally friendly" wood, as it makes use of trees that have been cut down at the end of their latex-producing cycle.
About Atlantic Furniture
Founded in 1983 as Watercraft, Inc., Atlantic Furniture started as a manufacturer of pine waterbed frames. Since then, the Springfield, Mass.-based company has expanded to Fontana, Calif. The company has moved away from the use of pine and now specializes in imported furniture made of the wood of rubber trees.
The Benefits of Eco-Friendly Rubberwood
Prized as an environmentally friendly wood, rubberwood makes use of trees that have been cut down at the end of their latex-producing life cycle. The trees are removed by hand and replaced with new seedlings. In the past, felled rubber trees were either burned on the spot or used as fuel for locomotive engines, brick firing, or latex curing. Now the wood is used in the manufacture of high-end furniture. It is valued for its dense grain, stability, attractive color, and acceptance of different finishes.
Atlantic's Unique Five-Step Finishing Process
Each product in the entire line is finished with a high-build, five-step finishing process. After a thorough sanding, a wipe-on sealer is applied, followed by a tinted sealer to even the grain and color of the wood. Additional sanding prepares the surface for the first base color coat, more sanding, and a second base color coat. After a final sanding, the finish coat is applied. This process produces a beautiful and durable finish that will last for years.

Comments about Windsor 6-Drawer Dresser:
The dresser is nice and sturdy, but I feel like if you push down on the drawers a little to hard they will snap. It is for my 4 year old daughter, I am afraid that she might break the drawers just because she doesn't know better.
Best Uses
Comments about Windsor 6-Drawer Dresser:
This is a great little dresser. Just make sure you are aware of the dimensions, as it is a YOUTH dresser. At 5'2", the top of the dresser is still below my belly button, so it is very short. I bought this dresser, as well as the twin over full bunk, for my two year old son, so for him the dresser is perfect. I wouldn't recommend using this in a room that isn't for a child. It seems to be sturdy and of solid construction. It also was super easy to put up....just take it out of the box and you are good to go. It is a great buy for the money.

The Nothing That Is: A Natural History of Zero |
Zero is silently omnipresent in our lives in almost every way, but it has had to overcome numerous obstacles over the centuries. Robert Kaplan tells us how nothingness gradually came into being, opening its way across skeptical civilizations that resisted the idea, viewed as useless devilish sorcery. Indians, Mayans, Egyptians, Greeks, Sumerians, Babylons... they all struggled with the concept. But due to its practical convenience, zero prevailed along ...
