Think back just over a decade when City were at their lowest position in their history.
When you ask City fans about the 1998-99 season and the majority of minds instantly jump to the last minute Dickov goal in the playoff final or the Weaver marathon run around the Wembley pitch. All those were great memories, I myself was on holiday in Tenerife at the time and remember the many bars that were filled with City fans.
They, like me, had felt the season was at a loss when they booked their excursions probably seven months or more prior. At that point City (24th October 1998) were struggling. After 15 games they were mid table with just 21 points and only five wins. Things looked bleak and looking back now, had City not pulled it together through the second half of the season then we may very well have slipped into football oblivion!
A week later though a bulky lad recently signed from Huddersfield took his place on our defense and stopped us leaking. Before his signing we had conceded an average of a goal a game (16). In the next 31 games, of which he played 21 we conceded only 17 (and only 12 on his watch!)
Of course I am talking about the much underrated star of City's defence, Andy Morrison. Despite him being a defender he also scored four goals, two of which were the difference between us getting four points or one point. The other two were in comfortable wins but nonetheless important.
He missed the playoff Semi Finals but would return, with his Captaincy duties, in the Playoff Final against Gillingham. He is considered by a lot of City fans to be one of the best Captains that City have ever had and on the pitch he always seemed to know exactly what was needed. His leadership and nurturing the younger players was exceptional and his no nonsense approach to the game was inspirational to a City side on life-support.
The next season, in Division 1, Morrison continued to be an inspiration leading the City side to five straight wins after an initial loss and draw to start the season. That said he was actually missing for one game while serving a ban for being sent off for sticking his tongue out Stan 'Ladies Man' Collymore. On November 3rd Morrison's season was effectively over after picking up an injury. Up to that point City had won 11 games from the opening sixteen. That says a lot considering City would only win half of the remaining games.
His next match for the City first team was in the League Cup defeat against Ipswich. That said, Andy Morrison did pick up the Man Of The Match awards. His next League game would be in the Premier League and a tie against Coventry. Even though this draw was not good for either team as both teams were in the relegation zone and eventually both get relegated, Morrison again picked up a Man Of The Match award. However the Scot was loaned out, first to Sheffield United then back to Blackpool, in order to try to regain fitness.
The relegation saw Royle leave and Keegan arrive and with the signings brought in it was thought that Morrisons career at City was over. He was loaned out once again to Sheffield United where he picked up an injury. Despite hard work on Morrisons part he failed to recover and was released at the end of the season.
After his playing days were over, Morrison joined Bury as Assistant manager. However in a friendly match the opposition manager brought the referees attention to an off the field incident involving Morrison. After an internal inquiry the club fined Morrison, suspended him for three games and warned him of his behaviour. In addition to that the FA also fined him and issued a six match touchline ban. Morrison and Bury parted company the very next April.
This incident happened at the same point that Morrison had pled guilty to four charges of fraud. He was found guilty of claiming various benefits from 2003 to 2005 while failing to state his 58 grand bank account. Morrison was ordered to pay court costs and do fifty hours of community service.
We knew about his battles on the pitch but it is only in the last few weeks that we have been allowed into his private life and we got to see the extent of the demons that he battled off it. In his autobiography, 'The Good, the Mad and the Ugly: The Andy Morrison Story' he talks about his acts of violence, bar brawls and his alcoholism. He recounts his lowest time and he does it all the same way he played for City, with brutal, unflinching honesty.

Councilmember LaBonge has worked closely with the Los Angeles Department of Transportation to address recent complaints about certain Sherman Oaks intersections. The malfunctioning intersection at Ventura and Hazeltine will be repaired.
Currently, sensors in the street are broken, the pedestrian crossing button is jammed, and this has resulted in every signal cycle having extended pedestrian crossing times. LADOT is also changing out the signal's computer to ensure that it is functioning properly.
Secondly, the relatively new signal at Woodcliff and Mulholland has made turns safer. LADOT has extended the morning peak hour green arrow time on Woodcliff to eastbound and westbound Mulholland.
This will alleviate congestion on Woodcliff for vehicles waiting to get onto Mulholland. Please feel free to contact Councilmember LaBonge with the results of these changes and other concerns. Give your thanks to LADOT staff for looking into these concerns and making changes when necessary.

Famed for medicine and magic, the Yarrows are great perennial plants.
The Yarrows have one of the longest and most fascinating histories in the entire plant world. During the Middle Ages, certain perennial species were used to ward off evil spirits, and the plants were used for centuries to dress the wounds of soldiers. (The botanical name, Achillea tells you some of the history, since it echoes the Greek War Hero Achilles and his famous wounded heel.)
Nevertheless, what perennial gardeners love is the toughness of the plants and the beauty of the new multicolored perennial hybrids. Give your yarrows full, bright sun, and gritty, fast-draining soil; they love almost desert conditions. Their beautiful perennial foliage is ferny and deep green.
Yarrow Summer BerriesSummer Berries Mix includes all the good yarrow colors from gold to pink to red. From 24 to 28 inches tall. (Achillea millefolium)

As Low As $5.82

Yarrow Peachy SeductionPeachy Seduction is loved by gardeners for its compact growing habits and long-lasting blooms. Elegant, peach flower clusters delight in the midsummer and often come back if trimmed back. This Yarrow is also a butterfly and hummingbird magnet. PP# 22262 (Achillea millefolium)

The Star City is expecting to see a spike in tourism in 2013.
Virginia's Blue Ridge is conducting tourism training sessions for local businesses and city employees.
So far the training sessions have seen a huge turnout with around 70 people still on a waiting list.
With the growth of Roanoke based events like the Blue Ridge Marathon and the re-opening of Center in the Square, tourism director Landon Howard is anticipating a big year for the Roanoke Valley.
"With the opening of Center in the Square with all of its new renovations and new product offerings, people are going to come in and see it and say wow this is cool," he said. "They're going to go back and invite there neighbors and friends to experience what's here as well."
Howard estimates visitors generate more than $700 million of direct spending each year in the Roanoke Valley.
He expects that number to grow in 2013.

Keep Our NHS Public plans protest march through Kingston
11:20am Friday 11th January 2013 in News By Jon Sharman, Senior reporter
Campaigners could march through the centre of Kingston next month, in opposition to cuts to the borough's health services.
Seven activists from the Keep Our NHS Public group met at Kingston University's Penrhyn Road campus on Wednesday and resolved to organise a march on February 16.
The group opposes NHS South West London's Better Services Better Value review, which says the region's four main providers will have to save £370m per year by 2016/17 — a 24 per cent reduction in costs, which the review argues is not a budget cut.
Co-organiser Richard Donnelly, said: "Kingston is the place where a demonstration could have an effect on national government because we have a cabinet MP here."

Financial Aid Guide
All students (regardless of their VA eligibility) should follow the Financial Aid Guide starting with Step 1 - Planning. Completing the Financial Aid Guide will consider a student for all types of financial assistance (i.e. Outside Aid, University Aid, and Federal Aid):
Overview of Tution Assistance
Armed Forces Tuition Assistance is a benefit paid to eligible members of the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard. Congress has given each service the ability to pay up to 100% for the tuition expenses of its members.
Each service has its own criteria for eligibility, obligated service, application process, and restrictions. Funds are usually paid directly to the institution by the military service branch. TA is not a loan; it should be viewed as money a student have earned just like base pay.
VA Benefits (i.e. GI Bill, Tuition Assistance, etc.) is not affiliated or controlled by BYU-Idaho.
- Army Tuition Assistance
- Air Force Tuition Assistance
- Navy Tuition Assistance
- Marine Corps Tuition Assistance
- Coast Guard Tuition Assistance
- National Guard Tuition Assistance
- Reserve Tuition Assistance
Disbursement of Tution Assistance at BYU-Idaho
After the unit and service processes the Tuition Assistance (TA), the funds will be sent to the BYU-Idaho Bursar's Office. The funds will be released to the student's Personal Account Summary. Students may direct questions to Julie Howe at the Bursar's Office.
Overview of CHAMPVA
The Civilian Health and Medical Program of the Department of Veterans Affairs (CHAMPVA) is a comprehensive health care program in which the VA shares the cost of covered health care services and supplies with eligible beneficiaries.
Due to the similarity between CHAMPVA and the Department of Defense (DoD) TRICARE program (sometimes referred to by its old name, CHAMPUS) the two are often mistaken for each other. CHAMPVA is a Department of Veterans Affairs program whereas TRICARE is a regionally managed health care program for active duty and retired members of the uniformed services, their families, and survivors. In some cases a veterans may look to be eligible for both/either program on paper. However, if you are a military retiree, or the spouse of a veteran who was killed in action, you are and will always be a TRICARE beneficiary, you can´t choose between the two.
Eligibility and application
For more details of CHAMPVA can be found at the CHAMPVA site. Students may be required to submit Enrollment Verification. Students may contact the Student Records Office concerning inquiries about Enrollment Verification.

Power Unit I Bought
Here is pics of My $150 Power Unit I bought yesterday. Now I have to go out and figure out and where & how I am going to unload it. You guys are welcome to come over and give this feeble Ol`Man a hand.
Then came Bronson
Yep, C-60 motor allright. Good spark arrestor on the exhaust pipe. What are your plans with it
"Never forget where it is you come from, or you may find yourself someplace you don't want to be"

Bring it by my place, and I'll unload it for you. My eyes aren't as good as Buds, is that a C60 or a Continental?
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government

"Bud I really dont know exactly what I will do with it but for the price I could not pass it up"
Now would be a good time to locate and buy a good hammermill.
"Never forget where it is you come from, or you may find yourself someplace you don't want to be"
Greg Norman
"Now what would I do with a hammermill"?
The same thing I would do with one.
"Never forget where it is you come from, or you may find yourself someplace you don't want to be"
Greg Norman
It is a form of mill that is used to grind grain. It has a spindle with "hammers" that spin at high speed and break up the grain as it passes between the rotating hammers and a screen with holes in it. It is used to make feed for livestock and also mill smaller grain for meal etc.
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
Kinda reminds me of Wendell's setup. I think he's making corn meal.

I was up the country for 2 weeks and had to net from the library tues, thurs or sat mornings. Since i have been home I have had trouble with my DSL line cutting out. Don't want to knock Verizon too bad they pay the pension.
Is there any clutch to cut in or out the load? Is there a real radiator with a bottom and not the cast iron mounting like in the Cub?
If it is a c-60 i have the operating manual compliments of one of our fellow Cubbers. I think that he sent Rudi a copy for the manuals but it would have been just before his operation. My copy is up the country and i won't be back there for a month or more but if you need a copylet me know.
Here are pictures of my power unit and cub if they are any help to you. The power units are governed to 2500 RPM which is higher than the cub.
"Life's tough.It's even tougher if you're stupid."
- John Wayne
" We hang petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office."
- Aesop
Bill there is no clutch on the unit, From what I understand the clutch action is worked by belt tension. I has its own complete radiator with top & bottom tanks. Mag ignition with I-H carb etc. (No-Starter) I just went to TSC today and bought a new set of plug wires for it but it has been raining to much to work on it. I have the fuel tank off and cleaning now. No hurry as its just another Toy to play with but I will keep in mind that you have a manual that I will probably need info from.
There aint access to pictures in your post.

EYEWITNESS LOCAL NEWSPro-Life Rally, Day Observed At WV State Capitol
from Eyewitness News Online
Reported: Feb. 11, 2014 1:08 PM EST
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (Jeff Morris) -- Supporters of West Virginians for Life were gathering at the Capitol on Tuesday for the annual Pro-Life Rally and Day at the Legislature.
Several speakers, including Dr. Wanda Franz, president of West Virginians for Life, was slated to address the crowd at the noon rally, according to a news release from organizers of the event.
Organizers said several pro-life legislators will be introduced and petitions presented during the rally. Other highlights include special music and the annual Prayer Processional with walkers carrying crosses.
West Virginians for Life is working to pass legislation that would provide an abortion opt-out in the new West Virginia health care exchange. Twenty-four states have passed similar bans on abortion funding in health insurance.
A second bill of interest is the Pain-Capable Unborn child Protection Act, which would prevent abortions after the unborn child feels pain.

That the Greeks are the "chosen people" of the world is indisputable. Usually, "chosen peoples" are chosen by God Himself. However, in the case of the Greeks it was the (European) Christian white man that elevated the Greeks to the top of the world. The "creation" of man (and of the world) is denoted by the Greek word "genesis". After his birth man must be "baptized", that is "submerged into the water" as the Greek word "baptizo" denotes. Then follows the childhood period accompanied by Christian "catechism", as denoted by the Greek word "catecho" (to indoctrinate, that is to "brainwash"). Indoctrination which is performed by Christian "clergy", as denoted by the Greek word "clerekos" (priest). Quite frequently, these members of the clergy are "pederasts", as denoted by the Greek word "pedi" (child) and "eros" (love). Then the child goes to "school", as denoted by the Greek word "scholi" (leisure, school). No need to go on. Ask any Greek 10-year-old and he or she will spit out the "litany" (again a Greek word!) of the above claims, as proof that the Greeks are the "chosen people" of the world.
[Note: That it is the white man and not the Almighty that brought about this "racket" of the classical Greek supremacy is amply analyzed by Martin Bernal in his excellent work "Black Athena". Although the Nazis of yore (and of today) disagree fervently with him.]
So, facing the reality of this inundation of the western civilization (especially the sciences) with the Greek "spirit" (and Greek words) we find that it was inevitable to have a scientific branch with the name of "onomastics" or "onomatology" that studies the names of people (as expected, "onoma" being the Greek word for "name").
In this branch of science the correct spelling of the name "Petraeus" is "Petraios". The root of the word "petraios" is the Greek word "petra" which means "stone" or "rock". Thus, "petraios" is the adjective for "petra" and it means "of a rock" or "of a stone". The search around the word "petraios" results in a variety of interesting bits of information. Here are some of them:
- "rockfish": any of various fishes that live among rocks.
- "tomb": as in the play "Electra" of Sophocles.
- "Petraios": epithet of the God Poseidon in Thessaly as he was the one who "clave the rocks" of the valley of Tempi, and drained Thessaly.
- "Petraiai Nymphai": the nymphs (girls) of the rocks. [Did "nymphets" originate among those rocks? Who knows.]
- "Petraios": one of the "Centaurs" (creatures that were half human and half horse) who was killed in Thessaly by some king the day of his marriage to Hippodameia. [Centaurs are very well-known to Americans thanks to Walt Disney and his "Fantasia".]
General David H. Petraeus (or more correctly Petraios, as we have seen), is an "officer and a gentleman" plus a scholar. His father, Sixtus, a Dutch American, emigrated to the US during World War II. The Dutch origin of the General explains the Greek roots of his name.
Prominent among the European white men that we mentioned above, was the Dutch humanist and theologian Desiderius Erasmus Roterodamus (1466/1469-1536). Erasmus was "infatuated" with the Greeks, as a matter of fact he "invented" what is known as the "erasmian" pronunciation of the classical Greek language. [Which we, as Greek kids, found strange, if not ridiculous]. Erasmus was the son of Roger Gerard, a priest. Following the trend of the Dutch intellectuals of his time Roger Gerard's son adopted the above Greco-Latinized name. Now he is known to the world as "Erasmus". Again the correct word is "Erasmos" which originates from the Greek word "erasmios" which means "lovable"! The root again is the Greek word "eros" that we have already met above.
So, it is rational to assume that the Dutch ancestors of General Petraios chose a Greek-sounding name for themselves. Now, which of the above listed items they thought described better their family is rather irrelevant to us. However, there is one more item that could be added to the list; Peter the Apostle of Jesus. Peter's original name was Simon but Jesus told him: "Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona… And I say unto thee. That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church…" [Matt. 16:18-19]. The name Peter originates from the Greek word "petra" which means "rock" or "stone", as we have already seen. Therefore the surname Petraios could be associated with Peter of Jesus.
The addition of Peter (the "rock") in the above possible choices for the Dutch ancestors of General Petraios is only a guess. What is not a guess is that General David H. Petraeus has the morality or ethics of a stone or a rock.
Petraeus took part in various US military operations: In Haiti, in one of the most repulsive and inhumane interventions of the US against a defenseless and innocent population. The code-name of the operation: "Operation Uphold Democracy". In Bosnia, in the murderous geopolitical game of the US in which (not so strangely) one of the protagonists, Milosevic, was a close friend of Richard Holbrooke, a top US official. Code-name: "Operation Joint Forge". In Kuwait, during the decade after the (Bush father) Gulf War. Code-name: "Operation Desert Spring" (that is, blossoming of the desert by killing about half a million Iraqi infants, during the Clinton watch). Finally in the present (Bush son) US "aggressive war" (a Nuremberg Tribunal crime) against Iraq. Code-name: "Operation Iraqi Freedom".
In all these US military operations that Petraeus participated (and in some commanded and commands), doing the bidding of the Bush family and the Clinton family, about 2 million infants, children, women, and men were murdered or starved to death.
In all languages there is the expression "heart of stone" to describe the cruel acts of a person. Thus, the claim that Petraeus has the "ethics of a stone" is based on the fact of the 2 million dead and the notion that only a "heart of stone" could tolerate participation in operations of this kind of US "benevolence".
To defend themselves human societies take measures against their members that commit crimes, especially crimes against humanity. Now, imagine that the American society decides to do something against the Bush family, the Clinton family, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Petraeus, et al. Could the following (imaginary) proposition for such a measure be adopted by the American people?
The proposition:
AMENDMENT XXVIII To the US Constitution
"We the American people, as part of the human population of this planet, having observed and unfortunately having tolerated the crimes against humanity committed by our leaders after the Second World War, we have come to the conclusion that our leaders should be judged for the crimes they commit in the same way as any other human is judged for the commission of the same crime. Therefore, if any of our leaders intentionally, through the crime of 'aggressive war', takes the life of even one human being should be judged in the same way that an individual who killed another person is judged."
Here enters a tragic paradox: There is no human on this planet (except persons of the Sarkozy ilk) who disputes that the above proposition is moral. Yet, most people will claim that it is "unrealistic" (or imaginary!). Therefore, let immorality rule the world.
If Bush, et al, should be judged and condemned for killing only one person it is reasonable to expect that for killing 2 million humans the sentence should be mathematically proportional to the number of the murdered.
It is up to the American people to remove the paradox and let morality reign on this planet adopting any Amendment that they themselves see fit.

However, I just created a new php file "members/single/member-overview.php" and when I try to insert these functions in there nothing shows up. What can I be doing wrong?
The reason for creating member-overview.php is i'd like to reuse its contents in a few places using something like:

We are 46 and 59 years old; the average age seemed to be a little older, maybe mid-60's. We are both extensively traveled, including all continents, except Antarctica, but this was our first cruise of any sort.
We arrived in Athens three days in advance and made our own airline, transfer, and hotel arrangements there. At the end of the cruise, we made our own arrangements to stay for five days in Barcelona, including apartment rental, transfers, and return flight.
Embarkation was a breeze. The upper suites were allowed to board at 11am, and there was absolutely no line at all. We stayed in an owner's suite which was absolutely amazing. I've written a separate review for the suite itself, since it was the highlight of the cruise for us. As our first cruise accommodations ever, it set the bar very high for any future cruise.
The ship is beautiful, as described by everyone else and in Oceania's literature. Interesting contemporary art, both paintings and sculptures, everywhere, including the stairwells; all of it was original. The pool was small and a little over-heated, but there were adequate loungers around. The ship never felt crowded anywhere.
The dining was a bit of a disappointment, but I think that's because it's so over-hyped that the expectations are really high for everybody coming on board. All four specialty restaurants would have been essentially decent upscale restaurants, but they definitely fell short of routine upscale standards in Manhattan restaurants, for example. We were invited to a private dinner at La Reserve; twelve of us were there. This meal was more memorable than the others, including a fantastic Napoleon with the best mille feuille I've ever had. I thought that the food in the Main Dining Room was very good, again possibly because I expected less from the standard fare and was pleasantly surprised.
We weren't drawn to the cruise line or the boat by activities, and we didn't participate in any events or attend any shows; can't comment on the quality.
The staff was always pleasant. They were from a wide variety of countries, from Russia to South Africa to the Philippines. Their home country was on their name tags underneath their names -- a nice touch.
We arranged for our own excursions. For a fraction of the price of Oceania's excursions, we rented cars at three ports and drove ourselves into the countryside in Italy. It took a fair amount of work to make the arrangements for our own self-guided touring, so if you're looking for an easier trip, or if you have any limited mobility, it would make sense to go with Oceania's excursions.
Disembarkation was a breeze. We requested a late departure, were out of our suite at 8am, and off the boat at 9am, after a final leisurely breakfast in the main dining room.
All in all, a very pleasant experience. The true highlight was the owner's suite itself, which I've reviewed separately.

PFW associate editor Dan Parr gives his stock analysis of the Bears and identifies who, or what, is on the rise or decline following their Week 16 loss to the Packers.
Josh McCown — For a guy making his first start in four years, McCown fared well against the Packers. The Bears gained a season-high 441 yards, and he earned himself another start in Week 17 vs. the Vikings. He's making a case that he deserves a backup job somewhere in the league, which is more than he could say a couple of weeks ago.
Kahlil Bell — No Marion Barber, no problem. With Matt Forté still out recovering from an MCL sprain and Barber sidelined by a calf injury, Bell had a career day against Green Bay, rushing for 121 yards on 23 carries and making four catches for 38 yards. He fumbled twice, including once on the goal line (it was recovered by Bears OG Edwin Williams for a TD), and has to do a better job of taking care of the ball, but Bell is turning a lot of heads around the league.
Defensive breakdowns — The Bears allowed the Seahawks to score a season-high 38 points in Week 15, and while the Bears' defense didn't play well in the second half of that game, two of Seattle's touchdowns were defensive scores. You couldn't pin all the blame on the defense. It was a different story against Green Bay. Aaron Rodgers torched the secondary, completing three passes for 30 yards or longer, including a 55-yard touchdown pass to WR Jordy Nelson. He threw five TDs by the time three seconds had run off the clock in the fourth quarter. The Bears' defense had no answer for him.
Pass rush — Much of the talk heading into the Bears' meeting with the Packers was focused on Green Bay's banged-up offensive line and the advantage the Bears would supposedly have in pass-rushing situations. Turns out the Packers were ready for whatever the Bears wanted to throw at them. Aaron Rodgers wasn't sacked in the game, and Chicago was credited with only two QB hits.
Zack Bowman — Rodgers picked on Bowman repeatedly Sunday and was rewarded for doing so. The ineffective pass rush didn't do Bowman and the other defensive backs any favors, but the Bears were hoping to see a better performance than the one offered by Bowman, who had replaced Tim Jennings in the starting lineup. As Bowman prepares to become a free agent, he didn't do anything to help his stock.
Major Wright — Wright returned in Week 16 after missing the previous game with an injury, and he was promptly burned on the 55-yard touchdown pass to Nelson, which was the Packers' longest play of the night. Wright bit on a fake from Nelson and had no chance to stop the wideout once he made that mistake. Wright is still only in his second season, but errors like that one make you wonder when, or if, he's going to figure it out.

So we've all heard about the Tortuga bolt. Titanium glue in. Bitchin. The problem I am having is that I'd like to place bolts quite a bit deeper than the length of a Tortuga bolt. There are air pockets and softer rock that you can hit while drilling. I'd personally like an 8-10" glue in that I could use. It likely wouldn't get used that often but I'd like the ability to sink a bolt into the earth's core once in a while. I bet I could easily find such a thing in Marine Grade (316) steel but I'm pretty sure that a titanium version does not exist. Ideas?
I know you can find long titanium "U" bolts, if you could drill side by side holes straight enough you could anchor one in there.
You may be able to glean these from high dollar engineering sites (i.e. bridges, building foundation). You could also call as many suppliers as you can, tell them you are a structural engineer and looking for a supplier for titanium expansion bolts and would like some samples (10 inch). Then when you find the ones you like, see if you can place a small order. Finally, find a Navy "Sea Bee" and see if he can get supplier info, and go glean their dumpster.
you could buy titanium all-thread from macmaster-carr. www.mcmaster.com/#96095a140/=4dx6a7
On the North Island of New Zealand in the Wharepapa South area they climb on welded tuff (ignimbrite). The rock has a hard silica cemented surface layer but is dry powder inside. Great climbing, but doesnt hold conventional bolts at all. They use 3/8" or 1/2" stainless rod bent into U shaped staples or bent and welded into eyes and epoxied in place. The rod has transverse grooves ground into it at regular intervals, about an inch apart, to hold in the epoxy. The rods are as much as 10" long. and can be hammer driven through the surface layer before epoxy in place. They are concerned about holding power on overhangs, but I have hung on them without worry. I would ask Bryce Martin at Wharepapa South Outdoor Center email@example.com for dimensions and materials. Either 304 or 316 stainless would work unless it's near the ocean, then more exotic stainless is required. www.mcmaster.com or www.onlinemetals.com are good sources
We have been doing a lot of work on soft rock bolting right down to rock which won�t support body weight (that is below compressive strengths of 700psi) and in conglomerates which are even worse! We supply glue-in bolts in 304, 316 and for tropical marine applications we supply in 1.4462 super-duplex stainless steel. This material has a 100 year guarantee in warm seawater, is 50% stronger than 316 and 3 times stronger than titanium. We have supplied these up to 10" long but can go longer if required, as usual our design has no welds which are a major corrosion site. All our bolts are certified to EN959 and the sea water series bolts have a test breaking strain of 102kN. Jim Titt Bolt products Germany
Find a Czech. They have the same problems. I've seen bolts, if that's what you would call them, up to 15 inches long so as to get through surface layers of exfoliated sandstone.

The Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford left his game against the Oakland Raiders in the second quarter with an apparent left hand injury.
Stafford was injured when his hand collided with a Raiders helmet.
The 24-year-old has had some injury problems in the past despite playing a full slate of 16 games last season. In the two prior campaigns, the Georgia product missed six games in 2009 and all but three in 2010.
Losing Stafford for any amount of time would obviously be a huge blow to their chances. Detroit is of course in the extremely difficult NFL North with the likes of the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears.
Stafford is one of only five quarterbacks in NFL history to throw for 5,000 yards in a season. He accomplished that feat last year when he amassed 5,038.
For more on Matthew Stafford and the Lions, please be sure to check out our blog Pride Of Detroit and SB Nation Detroit, along with our Football Hub and SBNation.com.

i get the feeling pac/may ain't happening once bradley demolishes pac. i don't think arum will match timmy with floyd either. i think may/canelo should be his last fight and i also believe martinez is too big for floyd. so who's that leave? i'd like to see the rematch. their styles will always make for a great match up. they should do this before the year is over. i'm sure they did great numbers...and will do well in a rematch. anyone else interested besides me?

With a Pac fight out there Floyd needs to minimize any damage done between now and then
I agree.
Quick question, just in the event that this fight were to possibly be brought up again. Does anybody feel that Miguel will ask for too much money and ruin negotiations, simply because he felt that he won the first fight?

Texas A&M might have to do some serious work to blow the lead the Aggies have established on Northwestern in the third quarter of the 2011 Meineke Car Care Bowl. Texas A&M leads 30-7 in the third after opening the scoring in the second half with a 93-yard touchdown drive and adding a field goal.
Ben Malena ran in his second touchdown of the day to finish the drive, running 19 yards to paydirt. He has 15 carries for 68 yards on the day. A&M's Ryan Tannehill has been on fire, too, passing for 253 yards and a touchdown.
But Texas A&M has been better at nothing in 2011 than building a formidable lead only to watch the other squad reduce it to dust, and Tannehill's last throw before Randy Bullock's field goal, a dart right at a Northwestern defender, is a remind that there's plenty of time left for the Aggies to do that, too.

To ensure Batesville is prepared for a large-scale emergency, Ripley County Emergency Management Agency members, local emergency responders, company associates and Margaret Mary Health representatives attended a tabletop exercise at Hillenbrand Inc. June 19 to discuss the scenario, said Tyler Stock, senior communications associate.
During the session, key officials involved in managing the exercise provided input detailing their responsibilities during the scenario. This meeting helped prepare each entity for a possible emergency. "This is the first emergency exercise in Ripley County to incorporate private business playing a major role," Stock pointed out.
"Communication is a key component of any emergency situation," said Scott Barnhorst, Hillenbrand security supervisor. "It takes several different agencies coming together to control the situation. These exercises are meant to get everyone on the same page as well as an opportunity to practice the situation."
The mock scene to be played out at the Batesville Doll Plant later this summer: A truck is delivering acetone chemicals to the plant when there is an explosion in the paint shop. More than 5,000 gallons of acetone are spilled, a fire breaks out and 15 people are injured.
Patrick Rose, RCEMA director, noted, "We hope an emergency never happens. However, if … (it does), we need all of our emergency responders organized and working together. These tabletop discussions and real-time exercises are necessary to ensure we give the fastest and safest response to those in need."
A date for the emergency exercise will be announced soon. Each agency involved will run through the drill to simulate their responsibilities during an actual emergency. The exercise will not affect any city streets, residents or production at the plant.

I did a quick search and couldn't find anything. So what kind of shoes should you wear when doing deadlifts? I didn't think it would matter but in a thread a while ago I read that some of you wear different shoes, other than basketball or running shoes say.
I take my shoes off for heavy deadlifts - stable footing, shorter range of motion, wonderful aroma.
Ok maybe I was kidding on the third part... but you either want to be barfoot (socks) or with something that has a flat sole like skateboarding shoes, chuck taylors, etc.

Chucks for me as well.
"The key is to drink so often you become immune to hangovers!"
Currently, I wear a pair of old style Van's (pretty much like chucks minus the ankle support) because they're completely flat soled and thin. However, I think the sole is finally starting to get a tiny bit of compression wear and I don't much care for the lack of ankle support. I ordered a pair of Do-wins that I might try DLing with, we'll see what the heel is like.

Thanks for the replies.
I'm going to assume you would also advise wearing those kind of shoes from the start correct? Even though I"m not pulling a lot of weight yet.
I used to wear the deadlift slippers 20 years ago and just recently switched to wrestling shoes...better traction.
I do squats and deads barefoot.
I like deadlift slippers the best.

I personally like weightlifting shoes for deadlifting. They get my hips over the barbell more and extend my pull ~1.5 inches.

"A crystalline noir nightmare"- Kirkus (starred review)
"A wonderful high end caper novel" - Bookreporter.com
"A new and refreshing slant on mystery" – Bookloons.com
Publishers Weekly calls Midnight "a thrilling read."
Midnight is a noirish tale set mostly in the iconic New York County Courthouse in lower Manhattan. Even if you never have been to New York, you have likely seen the building's wide front steps and massive columns from the opening credits of Law & Order. Kevin knows the courthouse well; he has worked there as a law clerk, foreclosure mediator, and administrator for over twenty years, and has used that knowledge to create … Oh never mind, here's what others have been saying about Midnight:
With relentless suspense, cinematic pacing and a twist around every corner, Kevin Egan creates a brand new genre: legal thriller noir. Clear your calendars and alert Hollywood – this realistic, original and downright terrific page-turner will be the book everyone's reading!
– Hank Phillippi Ryan, Agatha and Macavity-winning author
Alfred Hitchcock would have loved Midnight's twisty, original plot.
– Phillip Margolin, New York Times best selling author of Sleight of Hand
Midnight is the most bracingly original thriller of the year. … Here is a noirish tale layered with both style and substance, packed with colorful characters who give a new meaning to the word sinister. Great fun that is not to be missed!
– Jon Land, bestselling author of the Caitlin Strong series
My favorite noir-infused books take ordinary people and put them in extraordinary circumstances, where one false move can prove deadly. That's exactly what Kevin Egan does with his thrilling novel Midnight. Forget sleep—this twisted tale will get your heart pounding right up until the last page.
– Hilary Davidson, Anthony Award – winning author of Evil in all its Disguises

Our best choice to defeat Rep. Fresen
You can see how close we came in 2012. We were outspent 20 to 1, but nearly half of the voters rejected the ethically challenged incumbent — and trusted Ross Hancock, with his pro-homeowner and pro-environmental vision. If we had been able to switch just 702 more voters out of 60,000, Ross would be in Tallahassee right now fighting for our community.
Let's build on that record and make an even stronger challenge in 2014. Ross has the highest name-recognition throughout the district. He has bipartisan support. And more importantly, his message of progressive fiscal responsibility and his dedication to the values of Miami-Dade homeowners is what voters in the district have been asking for! [Read More...]
Progressive fiscal responsibility
What does "progressive fiscal responsibility" mean? It means making every legislative decision in the context of protecting the value of our investment in our homes, our ability to retire with dignity, and the future prosperity of our children.
The gridlock in government is caused by political factions who don't share political views. If we want to make some progress, let's all agree on three shared values:
- Enhancing the value of our investments in our homes.
- Our ability to retire with dignity.
- The future prosperity of our children. [Read More...]
Good environmental news
We don't have as many "environmental candidates" as we used to. Gallup polling shows a 28-year trend in which the environment loses its priority during tough economic times. But it's on the upswing now, like the stock market. Our 2012 campaign seemed to do very well with its environmental emphasis, especially because our coastal district is full of people with true conservationist values. [Read More...]

An event was held on Tuesday to highlight the need for foster parents in Hamilton County.
As part of the 'Be the Somebody' campaign, Lighthouse Youth Services held an open house. The event was to provide more information and help recruit prospective foster parents.
Organizers say the campaign was launched because the number of children in Lighthouse's care has increased dramatically within recent years.
At any time, there are as many as 850 kids looking for permanent homes in Hamilton County.

Biography (Literature and the Ancient World, Critical Edition)
Little information exists on the life of Catullus (kuh-TUHL-uhs), one of the most important lyric poets of his generation, although he seems to have been born into a prominent family. He is generally considered one of the so-called neoteric poets, but he is the only one of these whose work has largely survived. His extant work consists of approximately 116 poems in various meters on a wide variety of topics. Most famous are the Lesbia poems, which describe a love affair with a married Roman woman of the aristocracy. These poems range from expressions of passionate love to bitter outcries of disappointment, jealousy, and rage.
Catullus is often credited with redefining love, perhaps even creating a notion of "romantic" love, by including within an erotic relationship affection, loyalty, and the kind of mutual respect demanded by other types of social bonds. He thus paved the way for later Roman and European conceptions of love and love poetry. Catullus left his mark on all the major poets of the next several generations, especially the elegists and the Roman poet Martial. His fortunes waned in later antiquity and little was known of him in the Middle Ages as his poems had been lost. They were rediscovered during the Renaissance and have been gathered and translated into English as Gaius Valerius Catullus: The Complete Poetry, a New Translation with an Introduction (1957).
