David Salisbury has invested heavily in machinery and technology over the last few years in the pursuit of achieving a truly world class manufacturing unit for their timber conservatories and orangeries. We believe we are now the market leader for our products and class leading in terms of productivity and efficiency. We have pushed joinery to the point where we now think of ourselves as "engineers in wood". This means that our customers will benefit from the best engineered timber products available in the UK. You are welcome (by arrangement) to come and see the scale of our operation and just how modern and forward thinking David Salisbury is as a company.
David Salisbury began manufacturing conservatories and orangeries over 29 years ago. After graduating from Oxford University with a degree in physics, rather than becoming a research scientist, David became a deep-sea diver working on commercial oil rigs. This challenging and financially rewarding work allowed him to travel the world and enjoy life. On returning to the UK, David decided to make another dramatic career change by joining the social services as a residential social worker caring for the mentally ill. It was whilst working in this environment that he developed an interest in carpentry, as this was a part of the rehabilitation process used to help some of the patients. His flair, creativity and attention to detail have always been the motivation behind everything we do. Over the years David has applied his experience across all areas of the business and particularly in the development of the company's conservatory and orangery design software. This work is an ongoing challenge, to continuously improve our production processes in the endless pursuit of perfection. Just one more reason why David Salisbury can offer a design and build service like no other.
The design of your David Salisbury bespoke conservatory has to be right. The design will be exclusive to you, entirely bespoke and created for your home. It begins with a visit from one of our experienced designers to gather your detailed brief. Your designer will explore ideas with you, take inspiration from the architecture of your house, the way you live - and from you. They will produce a design concept to reflect your requirements.
We are well versed in the challenges that creating a bespoke hardwood timber conservatory presents; whether your home has fabulous views to be captured, important architectural details that need to be respected, or a tricky roof detail that must be incorporated, we know how to overcome the obstacles in order to produce both a practical and beautiful design.
We are rare in our industry in that we offer to take responsibility for every aspect of the planning and installation process. We will obtain all the appropriate legal consents on your behalf, (planning, listed building permission and building regulations), carry out any required ground and base works, then install your conservatory. All this under the guidance of one of our experienced Project Managers.
You will be seeking peace of mind during the installation, and our smooth and practiced working methods are designed to provide just that. Our aim is to anticipate your needs along the way and ensure you are happy and informed at every stage. Our conservatories are so well designed they are erected with surprising speed and little fuss and we ensure all areas of your home are carefully protected as required, and keep the installation area clean and tidy.
Our customers frequently congratulate us on our ever-polite and respectful site staff and our small army of Project Managers and Customer Service Representatives are on hand at all times to ensure you are well looked after.
Good customer service has been critical to our growth as a business. We carry out "spot check" customer perception surveys with our customers not just upon completion of a project but throughout the process too. We seek to harness our customers' feedback at every step of the way and are always on the lookout for better and better ways to look after our customers.
Much of our reputation has been built on customer recommendations and referrals. We encourage our prospective customers to take advantage of two important suggestions: the first is to visit us at our factory in Somerset; the second is that we arrange a viewing of one of our completed conservatories.
David makes time where possible to meet with our customers in person when they visit us; our staff are friendly, efficient and helpful; and our manufacturing facility is second to none. We believe you can instantly "feel" what sort of company we are when you visit, and that you will sense our commitment to quality and to our customers: come and see for yourself!
Commissioning a conservatory or an orangery is a big decision and one to be made with due care. We believe that an important part of your decision-making process should be to visit an existing customer and receive a personal testimonial as to the quality of service we have provided them, along with seeing one of our beautiful installations "in the flesh". Our customers are exceptionally generous in their willingness to show prospective customers around. We encourage them to talk openly with you about working with us; we know that you will receive all the reassurance you need from hearing about their experiences first hand.
What kind of a company is David Salisbury? We are characterised by technical and manufacturing innovation, an unwavering commitment to customer service excellence - and a product of exceptional beauty and quality. Call us today to start turning your dreams into reality.
David Salisbury Joinery Limited, trading as David Salisbury conservatories, which is a limited company registered in England and Wales with company number 3045350.

Former Bears, Lions RB Jones visits Rams
Former Bears and Lions RB Kevin Jones visited the Rams this week. The Rams also had seven veteran players try out, including former Patriots DT Damione Lewis, who started all 16 games with Carolina in 2009.
Near misses aren't good enough for Rams
Is it too early for the Rams to be facing a "must win" situation against the Redskins at home this Sunday? Hell no, write Dan Arkush.
Deadline passes for Chargers WR Jackson to be traded
The deadline imposed for Chargers WR Vincent Jackson to be traded, which would have allowed him to reduce his suspension from six games to four, has passed with no deal consummated.
Clock keeps ticking on Vincent Jackson deal
The Chargers have until 4 p.m. EDT to make a deal involving WR Vincent Jackson that will keep his reduced suspension in place.
Report: Rams still interested in WR Jackson
The Rams reportedly are still interested in trading for disgruntled Chargers WR Vincent Jackson.

Fitzgerald spoils Bradford's debut; Cardinals win 17-13
Larry Fitzgerald got loose for a go-ahead 21-yard touchdown catch with 6:13 to play in the Arizona Cardinals 17-13 victory over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday.
Clayton catches on very quickly with Rams
If Mark Clayton's first week in a Rams uniform is any indication, the former Raven could be on a fast track to becoming the team's No. 1 receiver.
Rams' Spagnuolo calls Clayton 'good fit'
Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo said Wednesday that WR Mark Clayton, acquired from Baltimore Monday, was working at the "Z" receiver in the club's base offense and figures to play inside initially in three-WR sets.
Ravens trade WR Clayton to Rams
The Ravens, who agreed to terms with former Seahawks WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh on Monday, traded wideout Mark Clayton to the Rams on Monday. The teams also exchanged undisclosed draft picks, per the club's official Twitter feed.
Cook's familiarity with coach Jeff Fisher made the free agent tight end a natural fit with the St. Louis Rams.||||||| The 6-foot-5, 248-pound Cook, who got a five-year, $35.1 million contract, played his first two seasons in Tennessee under Fisher.
The St. Louis Rams have upgraded their offense by reaching a five-year deal with Cook.||||||| The team said on its website Tuesday night that the Rams outbid Miami for the 25-year-old Cook, who played for St. Louis coach Jeff Fisher in Tennessee. The Titans drafted Cook in the third round in 2009.
Cook has a torn right rotator cuff and coach Mike Munchak says Cook will be placed on injured reserve for the final three games. Cook caught an 18-yard touchdown pass on the opening drive in Sunday's 27-23 loss to Indianapolis. But he hurt his shoulder catching a screen pass late in the third quarter.||||||| The tight end ranks second with 44 catches and has 523 yards receiving. He will become the 15th player on injured reserve, and Munchak called it unfortunate. Cook says the season-ending injury is a tough blow. He was honored Monday as the Titans' community man of the year for raising money for breast cancer research and exams in honor of his mother, Yulinda, a breast cancer survivor.
For nearly three seasons, the Tennessee Titans have waited for Cook to consistently perform up to his potential. Now Cook has put together the best two games of his career, with 169 yards receiving in the last game to set a new team record for most yards receiving by a tight end.||||||| He's' also just 73 yards shy of Frank Wycheck's franchise record of 769 yards receiving by a tight end going into Sunday's game at Houston.
Cook caught eight passes for a career-high 169 yards - including a 55-yard TD - during Saturday's 23-17 win over Jacksonville.||||||| Cook has now posted back-to-back 100-yard efforts and seems to be developing a good rapport with quarterback Matt Hasselbeck. Cook and the Titans visit Houston in Week 17.

The University Volunteer Ambulance Corps (UVAC) at the University of Maine was named the 2013 Region 4 EMS Service of the Year by the Atlantic Partners EMS.
The announcement was made earlier this month during the 33rd annual seminar of Atlantic Partners EMS, an organization that consists of providers in three of the state's six EMS regions.
The seminar honors members of the emergency medical services community in Region 3, Kennebec Valley EMS; Region 4, Northeastern Maine EMS; and Region 6, Mid-Coast Maine EMS. This year, the organization focused its awards on EMS agencies that have a strong commitment to community and improving the statewide EMS system.
UVAC is one of 79 state-licensed EMS providers in Region 4, which includes emergency service providers in Hancock, Penobscot, Piscataquis and Washington counties. This is the first time the UMaine group has won this award.
The group was recognized for its members' dedication to serve others, the more than 30,000 volunteer hours it provides annually, and for establishing a comprehensive CPR program on campus, which included the placement of more than 20 automated external defibrillators (AED) and relevant training for staff and students.
"This is a wonderful award to receive," says Joseph Kellner, UVAC chief of service. "It showcases the dedication and drive the large group of student-volunteers have for selfless service, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It shows that despite the relatively new exposure to the field of EMS, our student-volunteers show professionalism, compassion and skill that is on par with our long-term professional colleagues. I am very proud to be a part of this organization."
UVAC is a volunteer-based service that operates as part of UMaine's Auxiliary Services and delivers emergency medical services on campus and to surrounding communities. The group is composed of 62 UMaine students, in addition to a dozen staff and neighboring EMS providers. More than 60 percent of the members are EMTs, while others serve as drivers and assistants.
The students in UVAC come from a variety of majors from all of UMaine's academic colleges. Previous medical training is not required to join the organization and online applications are accepted anytime.
The six regional EMS offices are independent, not-for-profit corporations that operate under a contract for services with the Board of EMS. The Board of EMS is part of the Maine EMS system which is a bureau within the Department of Public Safety, according to the state of Maine's government website.

Have stayed in Homewood Suites before, but this hotel was a disappointment. The public areas and rooms were shabby and in need of a redo. Hallway walls and entry doors were badly scuffed. All lights in the room were very low wattage, even in the bathroom, which was very odd. Most people need a bright light for shaving or makeup, but you won't find them here. Bathroom light near the tub was also very dim. I'm a senior citizen and it was a bit dangerous getting in and out of the tub with this low light. My room was worn out and uninviting. The best way to describe it was 'dingy'. Kitchen floor was sticky. The room came with two double beds which were uncomfortable. The mattress was fine, but the bed linens were loose and ill fitting. (Since these beds were 'double' beds, It seemed as if they were using queen sheets on a double bed mattress).

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton will come to Israel on July 16 for her
first visit in almost two years, the State Department announced
Her trip, the last leg of an eight-country swing that will also
take her to Egypt, will come some two weeks before presumptive Republican
presidential candidate Mitt Romney is expected in the country for a brief visit.
Clinton was last here in September 2010.
Clinton, who left Washington on
Thursday, is scheduled to meet Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in
France on Friday. The State Department said this meeting was part of "her
ongoing consultations with senior Palestinian and Israeli leaders," and that she
would "discuss both parties efforts to pursue a dialogue and build on President
Abbas's exchange of letters with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu."
Israel on July 16-17, the statement said, she will meet with Israeli leaders "to
discuss peace efforts and a range of regional and bilateral issues of mutual
Abbas is also scheduled to meet in Paris with new French
President François Hollande.
One Israeli government official quipped that
while it was "very good" that Abbas was going to Paris to meet international
leaders, "it would be more conducive to peace if he were to meet with Israeli
"He does not need to make peace with France, but rather with
Israel," the official added.
Abbas has said that he will not meet
Netanyahu until Israel freezes settlement construction, agrees to negotiations
on the basis of the 1967 lines, and releases a number of Palestinian prisoners.
Netanyahu has said he will meet Abbas without any preconditions.
according to the State Department announcement, will attend in Paris the third
meeting of the Friends of the Syrian People – a group of western and Arab
countries trying to end the crisis in Syria – and "consult with colleagues on
steps to increase pressure on the Assad regime and to support UN-Arab League
special envoy [Kofi] Annan's efforts to end the violence and facilitate a
political transition to a post- Assad Syria."
Clinton will come to Israel
from Egypt, where she will be the highest ranking US official to visit since the
election of President Mohamed Mursi last week. The purpose of her visit is to
"express the United States' support for Egypt's democratic transition and
economic development."
During her two-day visit she will meet with senior
government officials, civil society, and business leaders, and inaugurate the US
Consulate in Alexandria.
In between her stops to France, Egypt and
Israel, Clinton will also travel to Tokyo to attend a conference on Afghanistan,
and then on to Mongolia, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia.

4:45 am is very early to be waking up on a Sunday morning… I was not alone though, I heard shouts and commotion outside and looked out of our lounge window (we live in an apartment in Green Point) onto a sea of runners taking part in the Peninsula Marathon. The energy was palpable and I immediately felt vital and grateful and hugely excited to be taking part in our own race. I drank my coffee, it was too early for breakfast, and set off to meet up with Julia and Renee at Big Bay, where our Olympic distance relay event would start. The distances to cover would be 1.5km swim, 40km cycle, 10km run. We picked up our registration packs and it was confirmed that we were the only relay team – this caused some confusion along the route as the marshals weren't sure where we were and weren't supposed to be, but we muddled through it and quickly realised that we were going to win our category as long as we finished. Yes, you can claim the win even if you were the only team to enter!
The Elite athletes set off long before the rest of us and sped through the sprint distance at an impressive pace. We hung around, trying not to show each other how nervous we felt, Julia specifically trying not to think about getting in the sea (this would be her first open water swim), Renee debating whether a mountain bike was such a good idea on a road course… The announcer informed us that the sea was a nippy 14 degrees and Julia's eyes widened. Eventually someone suggested it would be best to get in and out of the sea first, so Julia got kitted up and we walked down to the start line.
The Olympic distance race began and Renee and I headed back quickly to transition.
Ren got into her kit and I waited at the arch for Julia to come out of the water. The fastest swimmer was out in 17 minutes, Julia was only 7 minutes behind him – all her hard work in training had paid off. Although she looked a little shell-shocked coming out of the water and had to be reminded to run to transition.
She gave the timing chip to Renee and Ren was off on her bike.
We went to change and have a cup of coffee and a quick breakfast for Julia. Renee had warned us that she would be out for at least two hours, but we were advised by some seasoned athletes that she would be closer to 1h30. Julia headed onto the cycle course to cheer Renee and I made my way to transition. Ren came in a little over 1h30, gave me the timing chip and I was off on the 2 loop run course.
After a near miss (I began by running in the wrong direction until a marshal called me back) I got onto the run course and went through Big Bay residential area including a stretch along the coast. The conditions were perfect, not a breath of wind, and on the first loop I had plenty of company. On the second loop I realised I was quite far behind the other participants as marshals were starting to pack up. I put foot in order to pass 3 people (I couldn't very well come in last could I!) and somehow came in after 49 minutes.
We had such a great day, surrounded by awesome and inspiring people. Thank you to Julia and Renee for agreeing to take part in this and thank you to our very generous sponsors who not only helped make this possible, but helped us support a little school called Simunye that is very close to our hearts!
We are two events down, two more to go. This coming Sunday we will be taking part in Xterra Grabouw (1.5km swim, 47km MTB, 12km trail run) and in April I will be running the 2Oceans Half Marathon. Watch this space for updates!

text: Over at Beyond the Box Score, I came up with a "True White Sox" team. Basically, what is the best 25-man roster you can put together with players who have played for the White Sox their entire career? 2 of the players are current White Sox. A few players didn't quite make it because they weren't eligible, but I tried to give them a shout out at the end. Come on over and start a conversation about the team!


text:
Put simply, the NFC West is as bad as hell — but it really does appear as if it's not going to take it anymore.
Start with the Niners' dogged pursuit of Jim Harbaugh, arguably the hottest name on the head-coaching grapevine. Two weeks after his extremely well-received hiring in the Bay Area, Harbaugh's coaching staff is nearly set, with three assistants who worked under him at Stanford (defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, offensive coordinator Greg Roman and offensive line coach Tim Drevno) headlining an experienced group with a much better overall track record than the staff under the departed Mike Singletary.
Move on to the Rams, who raised eyebrows with their Jan. 18 hiring of Josh McDaniels as their new offensive coordinator to replace the departed Pat Shurmur. It was an uncharacteristically bold move by a brain trust that had developed a reputation for playing it safe and avoiding players and coaches with baggage, which McDaniels, who lost his head-coaching gig with the Broncos three-quarters of the way through the season, certainly has his share of.
Then there are the Seahawks, fresh off a season that included a mind-boggling 284 transactions. They wasted no time dramatically revising their coaching staff after their playoff loss to the Bears with the firing of offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates and the hiring of former Raiders head coach Tom Cable as assistant head coach/offensive line coach.
The cellar-dwelling Cardinals have been relatively quiet, but the way we hear it, head coach Ken Whisenhunt will move fast to catch up to his NFC West cohorts in due time — or, more specifically, as soon as the Steelers' season is over, when he makes a play for either Pittsburgh LB coach Keith Butler or secondary coach Ray Horton to become Arizona's new defensive coordinator replacing Billy Davis.
Taking into account all this activity, PFW canvassed sources around the league with close connections to the NFC West for their takes on a division that was widely perceived as an NFL wasteland this past season, producing the first sub-.500 division winner in league history.
The way we're hearing it, the Rams appear to be in the best shape moving forward with the most stable QB position, thanks to Sam Bradford, who had a strong rookie campaign.
But Harbaugh and the Niners are not far behind — despite huge questions at quarterback, a situation they share with the Cardinals and, to a lesser extent, the Seahawks.
"I kind of like the Rams heading into the offseason, even though changing (offensive) coordinators will not be an easy process," said one longtime NFC West insider. "They are not there yet in terms of being a serious contender by any means, but they certainly have the best quarterback situation with Bradford, and (head coach Steve) Spagnuolo seems to know what he's doing.
"With all the other teams in the West, it's a question of who the quarterback will be. I think you can group the other three teams very closely together."
The consensus seems to be that the Rams' hiring of McDaniels, the offensive coordinator of one of the all-time offensive juggernauts in the 2007 Patriots, bodes quite well for Bradford.
"It's an interesting hire," said a Niners insider looking in from the outside at the Rams' hiring of McDaniels. He (McDaniels) is obviously a creative guy. Maybe he can get the offense moving a little bit more. But changing an offensive coordinator is not always a good thing. Obviously, it's been very disruptive here (with the Niners), with nine different coordinators in nine years."
But Spagnuolo's explanation for hiring McDaniels makes decent sense.
"I just did a little study of the toughest schemes, the people that gave us problems in defending, and it led me directly to Josh," Spagnuolo said shortly after making the hire. "I thought that was the right way to do it. Who gives you trouble? Who drives you nuts in preparing for them? And he does that. He's creative.
"In sitting and talking to him, he sees things kind of the same way I do. He's come from a great place when he was up at New England and learning from a real quality coaching mind, is the way I'm going to say it, because Coach (Bill) Belichick is not a defensive mind, he's a football mind, and he knows how to put it together. So, I think it's great for me to get a feel of that, too, through Josh. So there were a lot of things there. I think it's good."
There are some NFC West observers we talked to, however, who think things will be better for the Niners, who moved quickly to revitalize a franchise that had become increasingly embarrassing in the eyes of many around the league.
"It seems funny to go back there, but doesn't (the best team in the NFC West) have to be the Niners?" said another NFC West insider. "I mean, everybody thought they had the best talent before, and now they have the new head coach."
And, according to one league personnel expert, a great new arsenal of assistants, to boot.
"The Niners finally have a strong group of matchup coaches," the personnel expert told PFW. "It's a 180-degree turn from the last group. Harbaugh does his best work with quarterbacks. They don't need Peyton Manning or Tom Brady to win the division, but if there is a guy who can create a Brady, it's Harbaugh. Regardless of who the quarterback is, he will have a lot more support around him and more stability above him than the position has ever had before.
" 'Harbs' will run the offense, and Fangio and Brad Seeley (the new special-teams coach) are both highly regarded as coordinators to handle their areas. They have a deep roster of talent to work with. Harbaugh was the one college coach that owned Pete Carroll at USC. It's going to take a lot more than seven wins to win this division moving forward.
"The Niners are stocked and reloaded. The table is set to dominate the division, but the rest of the division is not sitting back and eating popcorn watching. They are all making changes and addressing deficiencies on their staffs."
Which brings us to Seattle, where the winds of change continue to blow briskly.
"Seattle set a record for transactions last year — a sign of a very wishy-washy front office," the personnel expert said. "Releasing Jeremy Bates was a good and necessary move. He was a scheme coach who did not understand matchups. (New offensive coordinator Darrell) Bevell will help, but the strongest hire they made was Tom Cable. He'll get more out of the running game and could help do for the offensive line what Alex Gibbs intended."
In any event, Carroll remains intent on perpetuating an environment in which constant competition is the prevailing factor.
"Everybody on the team knows they have to fight for their starting job," Carroll said in his press conference announcing the moves involving Bates and Cable. "They can't come back feeling comfortable, that they've got it made. We will make it so they have to keep pushing to new heights, and then we will just let the dust settle.
"That's at the core of what we believe in."
Carroll apparently still believes 35-year-old veteran Matt Hasselbeck, one of 25 possible Seahawks free agents, will be his starting QB for the foreseeable future after performing well in the postseason with an impressive 7-1 TD-interception ratio.
"I don't think there's any way else to look at it," Carroll said of Hasselbeck. "He's our starter. ... But we're gonna push the heck out of Matty! He's going to have to battle."
And then there are the Cardinals, who, the sources we talk to agree, face the biggest battle in terms of returning to respectability.
"Give Arizona a Marc Bulger or a Donovan McNabb and watch out — Whisenhunt could do some damage," said one league observer. "But I still don't know if they can overcome losing the talent they did on both sides of the ball. (FS Antrel) Rolle, (LB Karlos) Dansby and (WR Anquan) Boldin were big losses this past season."
Added a Cardinals daily team observer: "Just a capable quarterback would solve a lot of the problems in Arizona."
That's an interesting observation, when you compare it to what Harbaugh said recently when asked in a get-together with the local media whether the Niners needed a top-flight quarterback.
"Do we need a top-flight quarterback?" said Harbaugh with emphasis, doing his best Jim Mora Sr. imitation. "Do human beings need air to breathe?"
At the very least, Harbaugh provides a breath of fresh air to a division that is expected to be not nearly as bad next season as it was in 2010.

A horrific training camp injury for Ultimate Fighter winner Julianna Pena blew up into a major media story last week when Dana White began to tweet and talk with the media about how she was "attacked" at her gym by a team member. Pena suffered multiple significant knee injuries that White claimed would leave the WMMA star sidelined for two years.
That recovery timeline seems to have been corrected to roughly one year and stories from the gym were that Pena's injury did not come from being attacked, but rather came during a grappling session with a 135 pound male teammate that Pena often trains with.
That teammate, Josh Gow, spoke to MMA Sucka in an attempt to clear the air:
"Julianna text me and asked me if I was at the gym and I told her 'yeah.' Then she came in, got ready to go and I asked her if she was ready — we just started rolling and it was our first round. We were about two minutes in to it, it was just submission wrestling, grappling, rolling or whatever you want to call it and I took back position off the wall — as we were falling away from the wall, with my hooks in she was supporting my weight as I was going for a RNC, her knee twisted in a weird way and we are where we are at today. It was all really terrible."
"Not at all, I train with Jules on a very regular basis. We were just going in there, it was a submission grappling bout and there was nothing different. It was slow paced, it was the first round and it was a freak accident, that's all it was. There's really nobody that can explain it, it was just a freak accident at the gym."
Gow went on to say it was "pretty horrible of the media to have set somebody out as an attacker and not to get all the facts before coming out with all this stuff." The issue is, of course, that it was not the media who made the story public, it was Dana White, first with tweets and then during a media event. There was nothing flawed about the media reporting on what the most important public figure in the UFC said in public forums and the media was very dilligent in trying to follow up and get the story, and then presenting the information as it was made available.

A prescription pill case out of Fayette County that began in 2012 ends with one man sentenced on Thursday.
Vernon Peters, III, 35, of Kincaid was sentenced to three years and 10 months in prison. He sold around 250 oxycodone tablets over a two-year period. On March 20, 2012, Peters sold three 30-milligram tablets at his home to a police informant. Just one day before that sale, Troopers with the West Virginia State Police found 16 guns and 236 marijuana plants at the Peter's home.
The case was prosecuted as a part of the United State Attorney's Office for the Southern District of West Virginia's ongoing effort to stop the illegal sale and misuse of prescription drugs. A release from U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin said his office is committed to aggressively pursuing and shutting down illegal pill trafficking in the mountain state.

Pep was smooth in the ring. I don't hear his name brought up that much but I first learned about him from old timers at the gym and I checked out some of his fights on youtube and read alot on him, plus listening to the guys at the gym stories about him. He deserves a nod as one of the best to ever lace up a pair of gloves
Definitely! So underrated, great footwork iq and defensive instincts. Love watching his old fights and highlights!

- Gungan Personal Energy Shield,
- Electropole,
Related //
The Gungans are the native inhabitants of the planet Naboo, an amphibious species with hardy lungs capable of holding breath for extended periods. Their skeletal structure is extremely flexible, as it is made of cartilaginous material rather than hard bone. The long Gungan face has a tough yet flexible bill for burrowing and rooting out food. They have long muscular tongues with which they scoop mollusks and lesser amphibians from the Naboo swamps. While most spacefarers would dismiss Gungans as primitives, they have developed an advanced technology.
Boss Nass
The stout and stern leader of the Gungans, Boss Nass was a proud keeper of his people's ways. His booming voice issued decrees on behalf of all the Gungans of Otoh Gunga. He kept a tight rein on Gungan affairs, continuing a longstanding custom of isolationism. Though Nass' temper is short, displays of courage and humility can pierce through his preconceptions. When Queen Amidala prostrated herself before the Gungan leader to request his aid in fighting off the Trade Federation invasion, he was impressed. Nass committed the Gungan Grand Army to wage war against invading battle droids.
An idyllic world close to the border of the Outer Rim Territories, Naboo is inhabited by peaceful humans known as the Naboo, and an indigenous species of intelligent amphibians called the Gungans. Naboo's surface consists of swampy lakes, rolling plains and green hills. Its population centers are beautiful -- Naboo's river cities are filled with classical architecture and greenery, while the underwater Gungan settlements are a beautiful display of exotic hydrostatic bubble technology.
Jar Jar Binks
A clumsy, well-meaning Gungan outcast on Naboo, Jar Jar Binks struggled to prove his worth throughout his life. Putting his awkward past behind him, Jar Jar left the swamps of Naboo to enter the even murkier waters of Coruscant politics, becoming a representative for his people in the galactic capital. There, his best intentions and eagerness to serve were exploited by scheming Senators and others in positions of power.
Battle Droid
Rather than use flesh-and-blood warriors, the Separatists prefer mindlessly loyal soldiers that are unquestioning of orders, and easily controlled. The soulless ranks of their battle droid armies consists of tall, thin robotic soldiers with exposed joints and bone-white or rust brown metal finishes that gives them an eerie resemblance to animated skeletons. Battle droids are very efficient, and can be controlled from centralized command centers, like the enormous Droid Control Ships used by the Trade Federation. They are dim-witted, often suffering programming glitches that give them quirky personalities that are too slow to adapt to enemies like Jedi Knights and clone troopers.
Mon Cala
Also known as Mon Calamari or Dac, Mon Cala is a a beautiful aquatic world filled with lush coral reefs and kelp forests bathed by the light of twin suns. It is home to the Mon Calamari and Quarren people. The two cultures have long clashed over their differences, but under the rule of the 82nd King of Mon Cala, Yos Kolina, these disputes were kept civil and respectful. His sudden assassination and the arrival of Separatist forces during the Clone Wars tipped the scales to civil war, with the Quarren staging an uprising against the Mon Calamari, backed by Confederacy forces and Karkaradon leader, Riff Tamson. It was up to the Jedi and Republic envoys to help young Prince Lee-Char, heir to the Mon Cala throne, restore peace to the planet.

BROCKTON — The old stone church at 900 Main St. stands proud and stately at the corner of East Nilsson Street, just as it always has, even as the neighborhood around it has transformed over time.
Built out of Quincy granite and designed in the Norman Gothic style, it has served as the spiritual home of the First Evangelical Lutheran Church for 90 years. When the church was dedicated in 1923, Brockton was home to thousands of Swedish immigrants, many of whom worked in the city's shoe factories.

With infinitely variable speed control you can troll for fish at your own pace. Fishing in tight spots? Don't worry, you can hit reverse and your ability to maneuver just got easier. And, if you'd rather paddle, simply remove the motor, drop in the skeg, grab a paddle and you're all set. The Ocean Kayak Torque is so much fun you may even put your fishing pole down and just sit back to enjoy the ride. Discontinued 2013 model.

Non-rhabdomyosarcoma soft tissue sarcomas (NRSTS) are rare tumors and little is known about them. At the present time, doctors do not always know what the best treatment will be for a subject with one of these tumors. Studies done in both children and adults with NRSTS have shown that the amount of treatment a subject needs may be based on the "risk group" of the tumor.
This study is being done to find out: if treatment based on each subject's level of risk will get rid of the tumor and if lessening the treatment for lower risk subjects will decrease the side effects of treatment and still get rid of the tumor.

Next-Generation Printhead Technology
PrecisionCore is thin film piezo printhead technology that merges advances in materials science and MEMS fabrication with Epson's deep portfolio of inkjet technologies. With the flexibility to deliver high-speed solutions for commercial, industrial and office printing, PrecisionCore enables superior output quality and durability on the widest range of media.Read Technology Details
A Printing Paradigm Shift
1.33 inches: 400 nozzles x 2 rows
MicroTFP Print Chip
At the heart of PrecisionCore is the PrecisionCore MicroTFP print chip. This print chip is modular and can be arrayed in various printhead configurations.
Outstanding Speed and Output Quality
- Based on the thin film piezo (TFP) technology that Epson has been using in commercial large-format printers, the MicroTFP PrecisionCore print chip offers vastly improved basic performance compared to conventional piezo printheads, including faster speed and more accurate dot placement.
- The thin film piezo actuators, which act as pumps that fire droplets of ink, are just 1 micron thick. PrecisionCore printheads deliver professional output quality at high speed by precisely controlling the droplet shape and volume at a rate up to 50,000 times a second per nozzle.
- Printing speed was further accelerated by increasing the length of the nozzle plate (and thus the length of the nozzle line) from 1 inch to 1.33 inches.
Expanding Potential
- Modular PrecisionCore chips can be combined in different ways to build a variety of printheads, from lineheads for industrial presses to serial printheads for desktop printers.
- The technology is still evolving. PrecisionCore
promises to be an enduring inkjet technology platform,
and its potential is only just starting to be tapped.

Police investigators in Venice have determined that two bodies found in the same apartment building Monday morning are unrelated.
The two deaths, phoned in to police minutes apart, appear to be just a bizarre coincidence.
Officers on the scene have determined that one of the deaths was a suicide and one was due to natural causes, and the two don't appear to have anything to do with each other.
Coroner's investigators are working to determine how the two died in separate units in the same low-income Venice apartment building.
According to reports from the scene, one person was found submerged in a bathtub and may have been there as a long as a month. The other person was described as morbidly obese.

I guess that's why the greek ones looked good to me. Lamb, oregano, feta, tomato sauce with chunky tomatoes and onion? Why not! Sounds yummy. verily 4 years I love traditional nachos. No need to deep fry them (total fat overkill). Just prep the little nachos and bake in the oven. Time it right and the chip will be toasty and crisp and the cheddar won't be hard. They totally have to have a little pickled jalapeno slice on them to be complete though. AmberHoney 4 years Again you come through! Hubby and I were just discussing what to gnaw on for SB and the few friends we'll be with. These maybe be the ticket - I'm gonna go look now.

ATHENS, TN (AP) -- Athens residents who are enrolled in a prescription drug discount program have saved more than $400,000 on more than 31,000 filled prescriptions since 2009.
The program, which is administered through the National League of Cities, helps residents who don't have health insurance or traditional benefit plans that cover prescription drugs.
Athens City Manager Mitch Moore told The Daily Post Athenian (http://bit.ly/V1isnM ) that the city pays just $2,000 in membership fees each year to provide the discount plan to residents free of charge.
The discount card provides an average savings of up to 20% off the regular retail prices of prescription medications. Other cities in Tennessee also provide the discount program, including Memphis, but Athens' program accounts for 41% of the state's total savings.
