Lined up underneath moss-draped live oaks - just a stone's throw from the marsh's edge - runners stretched and set timers ahead of the second annual Sunbury 5K on Saturday morning.
Penalties hurt the Bradwell Tigers and speed helped the Windsor Forest Knights on Olvey Field tonight. Bradwell battled to the bitter end but as the clock ticked toward zero the Knights held on to win 34-24 in a Region 3-AAAAA match up.
While First Presbyetrian Christian Academy is known for its state championship-caliber basketball program, there is another Highlander squad that is opening eyes around the Georgia Independent Schools Association.
Tied for last place in Region 3-AAAAA is not where the Bradwell Tigers want to be at this point in the football season. Nestled alongside Jenkins and Savannah High, the Tigers need to win tonight when they host Windsor Forest to have a viable shot for the postseason. In fact, the BI boys need to win from here on out to push Johnson, Benedictine and Groves down the region scale.
After stumbling in their Region 2A-AAAA opener against Richmond Hill last week, the Liberty County Panthers are headed to Brunswick to take on the Pirates at 7:30 tonight.
After a week off, the Long County High School football team will return to the gridiron when it takes on Pierce County at 7:30 tonight in Blackshear.
Proving that tough men can wear pink the Walker Middle School Wildcats honored WMS sixth grade teacher Beth Vandevort by wearing pink uniforms in last Friday's game against Lewis Frasier Middle School.
Bradwell Institute pitcher Karson Rogers allowed one hit in two games, and the Lady Tigers outscored Johnson, 52-0, in a doubleheader Saturday to clinch third in Region 3-AAAAA.
Running, jumping, dribbling and shooting were the focus of the first Fundamentals Tip-Off Classic on Saturday at the St. James Sports Center.

GARDEN CITY - A wild football game between Bradwell Institute and Savannah High on Thursday night had a little bit of everything: a fight between two players, an interception and kickoff returned for touchdowns, and two quarterbacks combining to throw for six touchdowns and more than 450 yards.
Its official: The softball season has come and gone.
The second annual Sunbury 5K benefiting the American Diabetes Association and Wounded Warriors Project is set to start at 10 a.m. Oct. 8 at the Sunbury Crab Company.
Despite a 92 yard return for a touchdown in the opening kick of the game by Liberty's Tay Tay Bacon, the Richmond Hill Wildcats upset the Panthers' homecoming winning 14-6 at Donell Wood Stadium tonight. Minutes after scoring their first touchdown Shadrach Thornton plowed through blockers and ran to the outside for a 51 yard touchdown that was wiped away by a holding call. The Panthers had several opportunities inside the Wildcats' 20 but were unable to punch through the goal line.
Liberty County will start the football season tonight with a scrimmage against Glynn Academy at 7:30 in Brunswick.
After only being able to hit each other the past few weeks, Long County High School's football players finally get to strap on gear and hit someone else.
It wasn't going to be an easy task for the Bradwell softball team.
The Liberty County High School and Bradwell Institute softball teams are in Glennville today and Saturday to compete in the Tattnall County Warriors Blast.

Former Bradwell Institute football player Gary Guyton has signed a one-year contract with the NFL's Tennessee Titans.
Q: Kathy and Jane are playing in a tournament. On the fourth hole, Kathy hits her second shot into the bunker in front of the green. She notices that a rake has been left in the bunker between her ball and the hole. She retrieves it and, in the process, makes footprints. She smooths her footprints, as well as other footprints, prior to making a stroke. Jane says she must be penalized for repairing a bunker prior to making a stroke. Kathy replies that she did not improve her lie, area of intended swing or stance, and nothing was done ...

Waikato defeated Taranaki 46-10 to end their seven-defence reign, a result that few saw coming after the form of the Amber and Blacks compared with the up and down season the Mooloo have had, but the campaign is well and truly back on track with the securing of the Log o'Wood.
Not only were the cow bells ringing at the stadium, but dozens crammed into the changing rooms as the impromptu anthem "Mooloo. Ole! Ole! Ole!" rang out to the point that more than one Waikato supporter was barely croaking out the words towards the end.
Waikato captain Alex Bradley said the side was overwhelmed by the support, while former Waikato players like Deon Muir were on hand, as the crowd slowly grew as word spread that the new Ranfurly Shield holders were in town.
It completes what is a rare trifecta, with the region now claiming the Investec Super Rugby Championship and the Shield, while the Magic are also still the toast of the town.
Waikato will play Counties-Manukau next in the ITM Cup, before playing their solitary defence of the season against Hawke's Bay, which if successfully negotiated, will see the Log o'Wood remain in Hamilton over the summer.

Bluetooth is working fine in our 2011 Flex and my 2009 MKS. USB works just like my 4 did with my MKS. Haven't tried it in the Flex yet. Haven't tried anything with texting yet.

I have a 2012 Ford focus titanium with MFT and Sync. (v 3.0.2) I paired my iPhone 5 yesterday and it functions Identically to my iPhone 4S on the system. The text screen did appear for the first time, but it did not work for me. I started combing the Internet looking for references to the new 3.2.2 update and functioning text services. Your post is the only one I could find that claims that texting now works with the iPhone 5 and 3.2.2. Could you be more specific when you say "a bit off fidgeting"?

Updated MFT Gen 2 to 3.2.2 on 2011 Explorer, but IP4 w/iOS6 doesn't work with text messaging. IP5 due tomorrow so I will try then.
BTW, on MFT there is no Systems->Advanced->MAP for BT as others have mentioned. When I check the Info setting for my iPhone, here's the info: Profiles: PBAP SMS 3WayCall Version: 6.0 Carrier: AT&T Also when connected on the iPhone 4 under Settings->Bluetooth->Sync, the only setting available is Sync Contacts.... nothing for Show Notification. Unless the 4s or IP5 does something different, its not working for me. Last edited by whsbuss; Sep 23, 2012 at 09:48 AM. Reason: More info |

Ok, here are the steps I took:
Since my 5 was a new phone, I didn't need to delete it from the car bluetooth. However, if you're still using a 4S, delete it after you've updated to iOS6. Once added, go to Phone Menu -> Text Messages and make sure notifications are turned on. Next, go to System Services -> Advanced -> MAP Profile. Make sure when selected it says Off? As that's actually on. Finally, go into your phone's settings -> Bluetooth and press the small blue icon on the right and turn on "Show notifications". You will now have it working for incoming texts. You can send yourself one, it'll pop up on the screen and just press the "Siri" button on the steering wheel and say "Text message". It'll say the text, but not who it's from. Haven't figured out how to get sending to work though. |

I just spent 45 minutes updating the Sync software in my 2012 Ford focus Ti to version 3.2.2. After pairing my iPhone 5 with Sync, I can report the bluetooth is working just the same as it did with the previous system with my former iPhone 4s running 5.1.x. Texting through Bluetooth is still a no go.
As an aside, in just 30 minutes of driving with Sync 3.2.2, I have encountered the following: (a) response to voice commands is much quicker (b) the MFT system seemed to index my iPod far quicker than in the past (< 3 minutes) (c) 3.2.2 broke the climate display on the MFT 8" display. The display no longer matches the actual state of the climate control system (d) The shuffle button seems to work when listening to my iPod (e) It still incorrectly displays track information/album art I know this isn't a Ford forum, but I thought I'd warn those of you considering the upgrade. You'll be trading one set of bugs for another. Last edited by pbrooks; Sep 23, 2012 at 05:12 PM. |

Brand New Ford and I Phone 5 wont work
I purchased a Brand New Ford Escape in August and I have had numerous problems with the SYNC system, I had an I Phone 4 and now I have an I Phone 5. All Ford want to do is make excuses and not help me, they blame Apple for all of the problems, radio not working/phone freezing/switching itself off/phone going on mute/no bluetooth/no turn by turn navigation, I could go on. Customer Service has been so AWFUL! The car had no disclamier.....saying if you have an APPLE I PHONE DO NOT BUY! What can I do.......

Need a little help...
I just bought a 2010 Ford Escape. I have an iPhone 4 and was able to pair it with Sync and make and receive phone calls. However, when I try to play my music over bluetooth, it says "no bluetooth device detected." In my bluetooth settings, bluetooth is on and "Sync" is connected. In the Music app, I have "Sync" selected. Again, I have no problem making phone calls, but once I go to Bluetooth Audio, it won't work. Ford is telling me there is something in my settings I need to change to allow it access, but can't tell me which setting and told me to call Apple.
I also tried going to Settings > Privacy > Bluetooth Sharing and there is nothing there. One of the guys from Ford told me that might be the setting I need to fix, but there are no options. I'm sorry if this has already been posted somewhere, but I searched and could not even find anyone having the same problem, let alone an answer. |

Take A Wild Guess: How Many Spam Emails Does It Take To Sell $100 In Boner Pills?
That's right -- 12.5 million. Or just one sent to the right guy *wink*. But now researchers are convinced there's a way to drastically reduce (NOT add 4+ inches to) the amount of spam by convincing a few key banks to sever business ties with known spam-a-lama-ding-dongs.
A new research paper by a team of Californian computer scientists shows the way: According to their research on almost one billion messages, 95 of all credit card sales generated by spam mails are handled by three banks from Azerbaijan, Denmark and the West Indies.
That means that, if you get those banks to cut business with the illegal spammers--and chase any other financial institutions that may spring to take their position, I guess--then you will be able to kill the spam.
I don't know about you guys, but I actually don't mind spam. And I'm not just saying that because without it my inbox would never *ding!*, but it wouldn't and that would make me a sad bear. And you don't want me to be a sad bear, do you? "Couldn't care less, go play in traffic." Traffic -- or in the sewers like a ninja turtle?

We are excited to introduce Autism? AHA Can Help, our first-ever public service announcement [PSA] series produced by AHA and Hofstra University.
These powerful PSAs depict AHA members who are parents, professionals and individuals on the autism spectrum discussing how our services and community have helped them face the challenges of autism. The spots debuted at our Spring Conference as part of April's Autism Acceptance Month, but you can view and share today, as well as check out behind-the-scene photos from the shoot below. We are deeply grateful for the dedicated efforts of our co-producers and Hofstra graduates Kathleen Flynn and Jack Farley.

5th Annual ROCK 'N' BOWL for Autism Sunday, November 16, 2014 Farmingdale Lanes
AHA Association [Asperger Syndrome and High Functioning Autism Association] serves individuals on the autism spectrum, their families, and the professionals who work with them, providing crucial resources and support as they face challenges, build on their strengths and fulfill their potential.
Founded in 1988 and based on Long Island and NYC, AHA is directed by a dedicated and experienced volunteer executive board and expert professional advisory board.
AHA's services reach nearly ten thousand people annually through one-to-one phone and e-support; more than a dozen monthly support meetings, the most run by a single autism-related association in New York state; an informative weekly AHA eNewsletter and bi-annual On The Spectrum print publication; family recreational events; bi-annual education conferences; and signature fundraisers such as its annual ROCK 'N' BOWL for Autism. By maintaining efficient administrative practices, 90% of every dollar donated to AHA goes directly to providing and expanding its services.
The search for effective treatment in the autism community is made more difficult because each individual on the autism spectrum is unique. There is no "one size fits all" treatment. Myriads of interventions are offered, including a wide variety of medications, therapies, educational methodologies and nutritional approaches. While many of these methods reflect sound current practice, many of them do not. A parent or individual's urgency to take action may be exploited by providers of unsound practices that can be costly, time-consuming and physically demanding. We make every effort to provide objective, up-to-date, reliable, evidence-based information, and urge you to thoughtfully evaluate any proposed treatment.
We are here to help and are just an email or phone call away.

So, that happened. Another NFL season (and postseason) has come and gone. Forgive my lack of enthusiasm as I watched the New York Giants win the Super Bowl for the fourth time in my lifetime, and the New England Patriots lose it for the fourth time (to go along with their three championships). In fact, in the 38 Super Bowls I have lived through (not that I really remember Super Bowls IX through, oh, XV or XVI), 27 different teams have participated. Not one of them has been the Kansas City Chiefs—their Super Bowl appearances live in other people's memories.
But the good news, of course, is that as soon as Tom Brady's last "Hail Myra" pass landed incomplete in the end zone and Super Bowl XLVI officially came to an end, the Chiefs were immediately back in contention. All eyes, and odds, are now focused on 2012-13, and the earliest probabilities are already in. The MGM Grand Las Vegas and at least one leading gaming site have opened betting season with the Chiefs as 50-1 shots to win Super Bowl XLVII, which is as good or better than 13 other teams. Not quite as favorable as the 40-1 odds they were given a year ago, but much better than the one-in-100 chance set before the Chiefs' 2010 AFC West Championship season.
In other words, the odds-makers don't really know what they're doing, at least at this stage—out of last year's top five preseason favorites, three didn't even make the playoffs. But for fans, it's amusing to see just how favorably (or not) our team's prospects are marked in the books of various distinguished sports-betting establishments, and ask ourselves, "What if…?"
Last year at this time, I made a list of the XLVI reasons the Chiefs could win it all. A number of those "reasons" are now no longer with the team or else tore up their knees within the first few weeks of the season. So I've learned my lesson—and I'm not about to try to come up with XLVII reasons now. After all, so many things can happen: the most important players can get hurt, the coach can go crazy, the GM can go crazier…I mean, what are the odds?
Ah. Good question. Why don't we find out?
So-called proposition ("prop") bets were all the rage at this year's Super Bowl (Who will be ahead at halftime? Will Al Michaels mention Tim Tebow before kickoff? Will Madonna slip…twice? During what quarter will they run that damn Ferris Bueller ad?), so I threw together a list of prop bets for the Chiefs' 2012 season. Remember, these are just the initial odds, and the odds-maker doesn't really know what he's doing. So if you disagree with any of the probabilities—or have a few sure-thing prop bets of your own—feel free to adjust and/or share in the comments.
Matt Cassel will be the Chiefs' starting quarterback on Opening Day. | 4-3 |
Jamaal Charles will return to form and rush for 1,600 yards | 9-2 |
Thomas Jones will return to form and rush for 400 yards. | 12-1 |
Tamba Hali will break Derrick Thomas's single-game sack record. | 58-1 |
The Chiefs will again finish 7-9. | 3-1 |
The Chiefs will finish 7-9 and win the AFC West. | 4-1 |
The Chiefs will trade up to select Robert Griffin III in the 2012 NFL Draft. | 8-1 |
The Chiefs will trade down for the rights to select Robert Griffin IV in the 2036 NFL Draft. | 40-1 |
The Chiefs will tag Dwayne Bowe as a franchise player. | 5-2 |
Barry Richardson and Sabby Piscitelli will become major players in a new Dunkin' Donuts franchise. | 5-1 |
The Chiefs will acquire Peyton Manning. | 19-2 |
If acquired, Manning will back up Cassel. | 7-2 |
Romeo Crennel, as a motivational tool, will stop shaving or showering so long as his team is winning. | 35-1 |
Tony Gonzalez will score at least one touchdown in his 98th and final game at Arrowhead Stadium. | 6-1 |
Brian Daboll will be relieved mid-season so that Cassel will have the "opportunity" to work with a sixth offensive coordinator. | 14-1 |
Scott Pioli will attempt to bug and/or videotape Todd Haley's practices at the Steelers' facilities before the Chiefs' game at Pittsburgh. | 15-1 |
Pioli will simply rely on the bugs already placed in Haley's phone and car. | 4-1 |
Pioli and Clark Hunt will bring in Len Dawson to compete with Cassel for the starting quarterback job. | 16-1 |
Pioli will attempt to trade Hunt for Robert Kraft. | -OFF- |
So, any takers? And what do you think of the Chiefs' chances?

My 10 year old daughter was molested by her 15 year old cousin. We later found out that he had done it several times and continued to harass my daughter for years afterwards, by email and at family gatherings. His mother finally caught him in bed with her but he swore it had only happened once. When my daughter moved to St Louis to go to college, I found her journal where a lot f it was described. The little asshole moved off to Mexico before I found out about all of it. He doesn't visit Omaha (where his mom and step-dad live) very often and I don't think he has been back to Burlington in many years. That's probably a good idea.
This could have something to do with my intense dislike of child molesters.
I must tell you, however, I used to get an instant boner when ever I got to spend time with my 1st cousin Barb. She's a year younger than me and was sooooo hot when we were growing up. I can't say I wouldn't have if give the opportunity.

Hello Friends,
Actually, it is a very common problem, and as I have advised the others, all you have to do is practice—at home with family, with friends and at school. Don't feel shy when you're at it. Start 'thinking' in English; watch a lot of age-appropriate English movies and TV programmes to observe their speech, and although educationists don't recommend it, read a lot of comics, like Archie etc, to get into the swing of spoken English (as by teenagers). But whatever you do, please, please don't fake a farangi accent.

The Benefits (and Limitations) of a Circular Polarizer Filter
Here's a good video from Dave Dugdale on the what a Circular Polarizer filter can (and can't) do. Polarizers are terrific for very specific conditions — deepening blue skies, reducing glare on reflective surfaces like water or glass — but they're less universal than an ND filter (or, as I mention in the guide, a variable ND). Check out the polarizer filter in action, shot with a Canon T2i:

In the photoworld, it's well known that the polarizer is only about 1 stop from brightest to darkest.

The polarizing filter is also well known to reduce flares and reflections, and to augment image contrasts. In film animation under the camera, the lens filter is used in combination with polarizing sheets suspended in front of the spot lights.

Although it doesn't always work like with the 90° angle to the sun, I find a polarizer pretty useful for outdoor shots. You'll need the highest quality polarizer that you can get, because 1. it has a better polarizing effect than a cheap one, and 2. when the glass is high quality coated, you can leave it on even when it has almost no effect, and it still won't degrade your picture.
I was in egyt two years ago, shooting a golf tournament, and because it was an eng gig, I never had time to change filters – so I just left the cpl on the lens all the time and I did not regret it.
Even when I was at near 180° angle to the sun, I found the contrast/colors were improved (when you can cut reflections on grass, the grass will look greener, too!).
In the worst case, shooting directly into the sun, it didn't degrade my picture – the flares were a little more than without the cpl glass, but they looked pretty good.I also keep my cpl on constantly when I take stills in the mountains on a skiing trip, or in similar bright situations with direct sunlight and some blue skies.
So, in my opinion a cpl is a bit more useful and more versatile than the video suggests.

@Heiko and the others
Which brand do you recommend for a good Quality CP?
I have a Hoya UV …. I am searching for a good CP but I don't know if hoya will be one of the best
DaveR on 12.18.12 @ 11:33AM
Here's two places which a CPL can be very useful. When there is a monitor in the scene either computer or TV and the brightness of the monitor is blown out. Using a CPL you can easily dial the monitor brightness to any level you want without changing the level of the rest of the scene. The other is reflections off a bald head. My client calls it the "bald filter".
