SCHUYLER FALLS — Dennis and Bonnie Trost were doing yard work when they discovered a sinkhole in their backyard, only about 15 feet from their home.
With no idea why the ground had caved in, they immediately blocked off the area.
"We were afraid to go into our backyard," Dennis said. "You see it on TV when houses disappear. I mean, we have people come over with children; they could've disappeared in the ground."
Bonnie said she was raking the yard that day, April 4.
"I actually walked right over it," she said. "I didn't even know it was there."
But when she saw it, she immediately backed away from it.
The couple, who live on Military Turnpike, called their insurance company, and the man they spoke with said he had never seen anything like it before.
They also called highway officials from Plattsburgh and Schuyler Falls, as well as Schuyler Falls Town Supervisor Harold Ormsby.
He took about three steps back from the sinkhole when he realized its size, Dennis said.
Its opening was much smaller than the sinkhole itself, which measured 5 feet deep and 7 feet in width.
Ormsby said that he hadn't ever seen anything like it before; sinkholes are rare in the North Country.
"I wish I could have helped out more," he said. "I couldn't figure out what was causing it."
They decided to cave the hole in as much as possible then fill it with sand.
It was thought the ground caved in due to an old septic system or well in the yard, but no one knew for sure.
Aside from the destruction to their property, the Trost's main concern was how much it would cost to fill in the sinkhole.
Dennis said the towns of Schuyler Fall and Plattsburgh provided two truckloads of sand without charging them anything.

New OH GE Poll: Obama more electable
by bigdcdem, Wed Feb 27, 2008 at 01:11:40 PM EST
U of Cincinatti Ohio Poll:
Obama 48%
McCain 47%
McCain 51%
Clinton 47%
There is more at stake in Ohio than the prospects for the Democratic Party's presidential candidates in Tuesday's primary election there.
In the bellwether state that typically rings clear with the nation's preferences for a president, a tight race looms for the Democratic nominee and Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona, according to the Ohio Poll.
In the battle for Ohio's 20 electoral votes, Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois stands virtually even with McCain in a general election matchup tested in the Feb. 21-24 survey sponsored by the University of Cincinnati. The score: Obama 48, McCain 47.
In a matchup of Sen. Hillary Clinton of New York and McCain, the Republican draws 51 percent of the Ohioans surveyed, and Clinton 47 percent.
While Obama supporters may take these results as evidence of what Obama was saying in last night's debate in Cleveland -- that he represents his party's strongest contender in a race with McCain -- the Clinton-McCain matchup sits within the margin of error in this poll -- plus or minus 3 percentage points -- portraying either Democratic candidate as a powerful nominee for the party in that expected November contest with McCain.

Work has been kicking my ass past couple/few weeks so my AN time has been cut back more than any time I remember in the past couple years - only been able to skim through a few diaries every few days.
I have a few things I wanted to put in a diary so I saved them all up and put them into one - from Spring Training, to little league to Dirtbags to Extra Innings. Without further ado...
Spring Training
I took the family out to Phoenix March 16th – 18th. The wife and daughter are not big baseball fans so they came along to hang out at the hotel pool and shop while I took the boys to the games. Had a Marriott voucher and we drove so this was turning out to be a pretty nice, inexpensive trip until...
Got out of SoCal a little later than I was hoping and tried to make up the time on the 10...until Roscoe P. Coltrane pulled me over just on the 70 MPH side of the state line...as my speedometer hit 93. Unfortunately, he hit me as I was sped up to pass another car. Dude was a real a-hole. Sort of reminded me of that cop who pulled over Chevy Chase in Vacation. "Don't you know how fast you were driving?" You had to of seen me?" You looked right at me." Dude, obviously I did not see you or I would have slowed down...and it would not have mattered anyway because he already tagged me. He was better after writing the ticket but initially he was treating me as if I had been dragging a dog from my bumper for the past few miles.
After checking into the hotel, I took my older son to Phoenix Muni and we caught the second half of the night game (a beautiful night still in the 80's) against the D-Backs.
I love Phoenix Muni. For those that have not made the trek, it is away from the city and pretty much away from any buildings – just off a two lane road between Phoenix and Scottsdale. Beautiful landscape of rock formations around the stadium.
A few notes:
·I was wondering why Byrnsie was wearing the wrong uniform until I realized it was Buck in our outfield (first time I had seen him)
·Great to see Piazza in an A's uniform for the first time
·The killer B's, Bradley, Buck and Barton, were swinging the bat
·Not much quit in our lovable muppets. It was already 6-0 when we finally got to the game and we rallied for 5 runs with a chance to win late.
·The first of back-to-back sellouts.
St Paddy's Day was a scorcher – mid 90's. I spent most of the game keeping my boys hydrated and happy. Got a sweet St Paddy's Day A's cap. We had great seats right behind the A's bullpen. We had a great view of Marshall warming up. You can see that he is going to kill lefties. Very impressive with two shutout innings. Also got to see a Piazza dinger.

Fat Joe warming up
Me and the boys

Little League
The season started recently and I was stoked to hear my son with be an Ocean View Little League Athletic. After his coach called to let me know my son was drafted on to his team and that his team was the A's, I went over to my son. "So, what do you think about playing on the Angels?" He had a look on his face like I just told him the dog was dead, "Aww" he said. I said, "Don't worry about it. You are going to be on the A's!" I wish I had a picture to capture the excitement on his face. That's okay though, it is ingrained in my memory. God, I love baseball. He really loves to play and I love coaching and watching. I am sure a lot of you on AN can relate.
More Baseball
Took the two little guys again to see the series finale between my alma mater, Long Beach State, and Fullerton last weekend. What a rivalry. These teams are great every year and produce so much major league talent. And the games are always close – like the A's and Angels. Definitely recommended for SoCal baseball fans.
The Dirtbags let one slip away by blowing a two-run lead with two outs in the ninth. That's okay, they will both be there at the end of the season...as always. And remember the name Danny Espinosa. Dude will be following the path of other CSULB greats Crosby, Giambi, Jeremy Reed, Jared Weaver, seventh overall pick in 2005, Troy Tulowitki, and third overall pick in 2006, Evan Longoria...among others.
Extra Innings
Well, I am holding out until 4/1 but I may just end up switching over to Direct TV. I have subscribed through InDemand (cable) the past few years and now I am not sure I can live without Extra Innings. This is extremely inconvenient as I currently have the cable/high speed internet/phone package.
I thought about mlb.tv and after reading what Blez wrote about mlb.tv and not monopolizing the television in his house...well, I really appreciate my wife. She buys me Extra Innings ever year for my birthday (pretty close to opening day) and puts up with baseball on our main tv...and, as I mentioned, she really is not much of a sports fan. This year she actually took the initiative and started looking into Direct TV...even though switching over would be a pain...and she dislikes sports...just so I can have my A's baseball.
I know I am lucky. Trust me ladies, I do not take it for granted.

A big announcement from Sen. Patrick Leahy's office-- Leahy will not chair the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee as expected.
Leahy became the most senior member of the Senate with the passing of Hawaii Senator Daniel Inouye earlier this week. Inouye had been Senate president pro tem and chair of the Appropriations Committee. Leahy was sworn in as the new Senate president pro tem Tuesday, and many in Washington expected he would also take the lead role on Appropriations. But Wednesday, Leahy announced he will not chair Appropriations, instead choosing to still sit on the committee and continue as chair of the Judiciary Committee.
The senator released a statement saying, "Chairing the Judiciary Committee and maintaining my seniority on the Appropriations Committee will allow me to protect both the Constitution and Vermont."

(12/12/11) - Fed up with crime, a Flint homeowner is fighting back. With words.
Eight words are spray painted, on a piece of plywood, covering the front window of a vacant home on N. Chevrolet near Berkley on Flint's north side.
One word intentionally used to send a strong message.
"This house is a reflection of ignorant n---as," read the black homeowner who made the sign.
The last word?
The N-word. The last two letters a-s, not e-r.
At her asking, we're not going to identify her.
She says the windows were ripped out by thieves so they could get at scrap metal. She says she had been fixing up the home to use it to help the homeless.
"They're hustling out here. It's a domino effect and yet we sit back and do nothing in the community," she said.
"I can understand just how frustrated the lady is. Somebody stole my pipes out of this house before I got here," said neighbor Ladale Woods.
The single mother of two, attending college and taking marketing classes, says her intent was to make a statement to those committing crime.
"Evidently I got my message across because you guys are here. Well done. I did what I was supposed to do."
"I know who I am. I know where I'm going so the word does not define me. Not at all."
The woman did spray paint over the word Monday because people were offended by it.
But she stands firm, fed up with crime in her city. Crime that this time hit too close to home.
Frances Gilcreast, Flint Branch NAACP president, called used of the word hurtful, adding ignorance comes in all colors.

Hematite is one of the best-known gemstones to use in magical workings. Also called Paint Ore or Iron Rose, this shiny silvery gray stone is tied to the element of fire and the planet Saturn, as well as the sun itself. Use hematite for healing rituals related to inflammation and blood disorders, as well as treatment of infection and fevers. One of hematite's most common usages is that of protective magic, especially when it comes to homes and property. It's also an excellent stone to carry for willpower, confidence and problem solving, as well as psychic awareness.

Book Discussion Series Planned for the Coming Year
The Program Committee is pleased to announce plans for holding one-week discussions around selected books as part of the Clinical programming for this coming year. The group has been exploring options for providing continuing education opportunities that involve less of a time commitment than the Institute's three-week online seminars. What excited them was the prospect of using the same reflective learning approach but having the discussions last only one week. This series will start in October with a discussion around Joseph Myers book, The Search to Belong: Rethinking Intimacy, Community, and Small Groups, facilitated by the Rev. Dr. Anne Walker Sims.

Coping with the Challenges of a Society Living Longer
We all know the statistics, human beings are living longer. With that happy news, we are faced with new choices and new decisions. Some of these we have only just begun to even contemplate. Other issues still await our attention. Among these are the issues of identity as retirement extends over decades, the reality that many people are living longer with serious illness or injury, and the complexities of managing resources and healthcare amid the challenges of not having family nearby. In September, we will explore these issues in the seminar on Pastoral and Spiritual Care for a Society Living Longer.

Marriage as a New Creation: Mission, Mutuality and Solidarity
With all the current talk about changes and challenges in marriage mores, these remarks I made at a wedding, drawn from my process theology perspective, inform spiritual caregivers as they counsel or officiate at weddings of any kind.
Family therapist Carl Whitaker said that marriage is like two very different cultures sending out missionaries to each other with the main purpose to convert each other.

JONESBORO — Jonesboro High School's mock trial team fell short of a state title this year.
The team placed fifth in the Georgia High School Mock Trial Competition held this past weekend at the Gwinnett Justice Center in Lawrenceville.
"Even though it was not the outcome that we wanted, we were still exceedingly proud of our team," said co-teacher coach Anna Cox.
Cox, a Latin teacher at the school, coaches alongside her husband, Andrew Cox, who teaches chemistry at Jonesboro High.
The team's attorney coaches were State Court Judge John Carbo, State Court Judge Linda Cowen, Assistant District Attorney Katherine Powers and Solicitor General Tasha Mosley.
Cox said the students, particularly the seniors, were disappointed in the results.
"They were devastated but the ones who are returning to us are ready for next year," she said.
Cox said 12 on the 16-member team will likely return in August to begin preparing for next year's competitive mock trial season, using this year's experience as inspiration.

The Cathedral of Siena: from 6 April the "Cathedral sky" will be open to visitors
It took months of work but on April the 6th the Cathedral of Siena opens its attics that were never opened to the public.
With an experienced guide you walk spiral staircases almost hidden from visitors' view and in small groups you are taken over the vaulted stars of the right aisle. From there it begins a journey where view range from inside to outside the cathedral.

THE DALI 'UNIVERSE – FLORENCE (February 1st – May 25th , 2013)
Hotel Siena Borgo Grondaie suggests an opportunity not to be missed!
In Florence, few miles from Siena, more precisely in Riccardi Palace, the exhibition "The Dali Universe" was recently inaugurated, thanks to which you can admire more than 100 works by the most famous surrealist artist Salvador Dali.
The exhibition, dedicated to the Spanish master and open to the public until May 25th, is mainly focused on the theme of time and femininity, but thanks to this show some new artist's features come to light as the man fond of literature who reinterprets contemporary works in a surrealist way but also great classical masterpieces as the Divine Comedy of Dante Alighieri or Boccaccio's Decameron.
Another part of the exhibition is dedicated to the exploration of the three-dimensional work that materializes in bronze sculptures, objects in glass and surrealist furniture.
Openings hours: all day from 9am to 7pm

THE MARKET IN THE CAMPO SQUARE (Piazza del Campo). December, 15TH and 16th 2012. SIENA.
On December, 15th and 16th in Siena and more precisely in the heart of the city, in the beautiful Piazza del Campo, an extraordinary event will come back: "the market in the Campo Square," a real modern market that, both in terms of products or the arrangement of the sales counters (which will be a copy of those of the past), will propose an image of what the city market at the time of the Republic of Siena was. Two whole days to admire and taste the tradition of Siena with the quality of today.
In the thirteenth century, the "big market", which took place once a week in the square, was the main source of supply but also a place of social relations and important area of trade. The small farmers from the countryside and craftsmen were so numerous that at some point it became necessary to reorganize the market to make it less chaotic adopting a specific placement that will be reproduced during the event, in fact there will be a food area (once the queen of the market was the "treccola" , she who sold fruits and vegetables, legumes as well as milk and cheese, poultry and game) and another area dedicated to crafts (among the most known craftsmen were tanners, baskets makers, cobblers, sellers of barrels). In today's market it will be possible to find other excellence of the territory as producers of wine, saffron, bakers, goldsmiths, bookbinders and many others. Some craftsmen will perform live their creations and, as once part of the square was reserved for entertainment, games and activities will be organized to involve also the children.
On the occasion of the event it will be possible take guided tours at a cost of € 5.00 (free for children up to 11 years) to discover places of taste which ,over time, have distinguished Siena. Departure for the visits is scheduled at 11a.m. and 4p.m. from the information desk.
Some restaurants in the city will take part in the event offering typical food:
- ALL'ORTO DE PECCI ("pici" with garlic) pici, gnocchi and pappardelle are typical kind of pasta

Along the freeway Florence-Siena, one wonders what that new and futuristic building, that we find in Bargino village (near San Casciano Val di Pesa), could be.
It's the new Antinori's winary, the result of an ambitious project strongly wanted by Antinori's Family, who produces wine from 26 generations and, after five centuries, moves its headquarters from the center of Florence to the heart of "Chianti Classico".The cellar was built excavating in a hill and then covering the building with the ground.
On the roof, for didactic purposes, a vineyard was planted that brings together all the varieties of the Chianti vineyards, even those almost forgotten.
Inside the building there are three aisles 75 meters long, where, at a constant temperature of 17 degrees, barriques and barrels rest for a potential production of two and a half million bottles per year.
In addition to the winery and bottling area, the building consists of a museum, wine tasting areas, one restaurant, 250-seat auditorium, offices, and one wine store.
The project of the new winery (that has great respect for the Tuscan environment and landscape) is unique because combines architectural innovations and modern technologies of wine making with the Antinori's family tradition.
Opening is scheduled for February 2013.

Since crews were called in Wednesday from around the country to help the Long Island Power Authority restore service to the nearly 90 percent of its customers affected by the hurricane, work began on arranging accommodations for them.
An unused runway on the west side of the East Hampton Airport in Wainscott was transformed to a mobile village of sorts that can provide sleeping, bathing, and eating accommodations for up to 1,000 of the more than 2,000 workers that arrived on Long Island from as far west as California.
Though sleeping in Wainscott, many will actually be working on points further west in Suffolk County, in areas even more devastated in the storm. On Friday afternoon, there are 1,753 customers with power outages in the Town of East Hampton, well less than 1 percent of the 527,702 total outages on Long Island.
Workers, with whom LIPA have contracted for services in case of such major electrical and gas incidents, started arriving on Thursday evening. Vinny Esposito, the staging area manager, said they will work 16 hour days and return to the staging area to sleep, eat, and clean-up.
Converted trailers, called mobile sleeping units, were trucked in, along with bathrooms and showers. A tent was erected mess hall with onsite catering. There's even a nurse on site round the clock.
Staging areas such as these popped up in four other locations on Long Island: at Nassau Coliseum, Bethpage State Park, Suffolk County Community College in Brentwood, and Brookhaven Calabro Airport in Shirley.
"There are just no lodgings available," Esposito said, adding that many of the people displaced along the south shore have gone to hotels.
"Although you hate to see the travel time, there's just no place to bed them down. You can't have them sleeping in their cabs because they're working 16-hour days. If you don't get enough rest, it's dangerous work to help people that aren't well rested," he said. With travel time, they'll end up getting about 6 hours of sleep, he said.
LIPA has set up twice before at the municipal airport in Wainscott in anticipation of Hurricanes Earle in 2010 and Irene in 2011, through a cooperative agreement with the Town of East Hampton.
"It has never been this extensive," said Anne Ramer, an assistant site manager, who gave East Hampton Patch a tour on Thursday evening, as the first contractors started arriving with their utility and box trucks with Michigan tags. They were expecting 500 workers to arrive Thursday evening.
Sleeper units, which stack three bunk-beds six deep on both sides of the trailers, had bedding and lights and heat on, thanks to generators. More units were expected to arrive on Friday. Dinner was about to be served, complete with chocolate cake. The fuel truck was ready to refuel the workers' vehicles before they head out in the morning.
The site has 50 staging area personnel, including flaggers to help park the vehicles in an organized fashion. Esposito and his operations team set up with computers in the East Hampton Fire Department's building that houses equipment to fight airport-related fires.
The grounds are fully lit with mobile spot lights that have to face a certain way so to not interfere with airport traffic landing nearby, Ramar said, adding LIPA officials met with town officials to make sure everything was okay. There's also security at the entrance.
"The obvious major benefit of having LIPA there is proximity," said Supervisor Bill Wilkinson, who added he has received calls from angry residents who don't have power yet, five days after Sandy hit the South Fork. "Both Johnson [Nordlinger, his assistant] and I will spend a good couple of hours over there delivering locations and specific addresses that still need attention. There is a level of customer of service from that point of view that comes with them being in our town."

R.A. The Rugged Man - Underground Hits
Artist: R.A. The Rugged Man
Featuring: Hopsin
Producer: Will Tell
Album: Legends Never Die
Avg Rating: 3.3 ( 6 total votes )
When you think about classical performers like Mozart, an artist like R.A. The Rugged Man probably does not come to mind. His grimy persona and even grimier flow wouldn't go over well in Mozart's refined, sophisticated society. However, on R.A.'s latest, Underground Hits, the two could not sound more in sync; consider them the epitome of strange bedfellows. Producer Will Tell perfectly samples Mozart's classic, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, giving it an energetic remix of sorts that serves as a nice juxtaposition to Rugged Man's inappropriately colorful bars and breakneck, hostile flow. Guest Hopsin shows how refined he can be (not very) with a subsequent 16, which is highlighted by his demonstrative approach and equally as brash lyrics. If you think Underground Hits is indeed an underground hit, than you should scoop up a copy of R.A.'s forthcoming album Legends Never Die, out April 30.

Fresno County's new county counsel, Daniel Cederborg, will be introduced Tuesday during the Board of Supervisors meeting.
Cederborg, 53, of Woodland, will come to Fresno after serving as assistant county counsel in Yolo County for eight years.
Prior to working in Yolo County, he worked for San Joaquin County in Stockton.
Cederborg has practiced law since 1986, graduating from the University of Pacific's McGeorge School of Law. He has a bachelor's degree from Seattle Pacific University.
He worked for private law firms until 2003, when he became a deputy county counsel in San Joaquin County. In 2006, he went to Yolo County.
"I am very impressed with what I felt was the (Fresno County) board's intention to make county government operate the best it can for its citizens," Cederborg said Friday.
Yolo County is significantly rural, but San Joaquin County, he said, is similar to Fresno County because it's mainly agricultural land surrounding a large urban hub.
Cederborg will become Fresno County's sixth county counsel. He replaces Kevin Briggs, 59, who is retiring after working as a lawyer for Fresno County for 26 years. His last day was Friday.
Briggs served as county counsel since 2009 after being interim county counsel and chief deputy county counsel. He took over for Dennis Marshall, who left in the middle of 2008 to go to work in Santa Barbara County. Marshall retired at the end of 2013.
The Fresno County counsel's office has 23 lawyers and eight support staff.
"We are thrilled that Dan Cederborg will be our next county counsel," said Andreas Borgeas, Fresno County Board of Supervisors chairman. "The Fresno County Board of Supervisors interviewed many qualified candidates and we are excited that he has accepted our offer."
Cederborg starts April 28. The county counsel's maximum salary is $169,702 Cederborg's salary was not released Friday.

Opinion: Stop using leaf blowers
Beth McKinley
La Jolla
Today I am listening to leaf blowers in stereo — one in front of my home and one behind it. Ahhhhh the lovely incessant drone, like a twin-engine aircraft buzzing my windows. And then there are the clouds of dust being churned into the air, and the gasoline fumes coughing out the back. What do these machines accomplish, other than noise and air pollution? Well, they do a great job of moving leaves from one house to the next, only to be moved back by another leaf blower.
Leaf blowers are not illegal in San Diego, as they are in a growing number of cities that have recognized the idiocy of a contraption whose sole purpose is to kick dust and leaves into the air while emitting air and noise pollution. However, we do not need to wait until San Diego (allegedly a forward-thinking green city) comes to its senses. We don't need to be regulated into doing what is right. Here is an easy step: Tell your gardener not to use one. There is a lot of competition in gardeners; let's use a free market society to correct what is a bane to many people's existence. If your gardener refuses, get a new gardener. You will have done something to help the environment, and your neighbors will thank you!

Here are two bangles I made this weekend, both are buckeye burl. The buckeye on the stainless bangle is a premium two-tone piece with some nice brown eyes. The buckeye on the copper bangle is an all smoke color and has a nice deep gray-green tone.
Check out our video series on YouTube which covers every step of the build process from cutting wood, turning, CA application and selling. Find our videos on the WildWood Design Channel

As always they look great; I'm glad you did these two with the diff core colors… it allows me to see that in some cases the stainless steel looks better with certain wood shades/colors – no matter though actually since they're both really beautiful.

The Sydney Jewish Museum guide course Generation to Generation (G2G) is an intergenerational education program that seeks to give participants a deep knowledge of Holocaust history and to embed Survivor testimony into the memory of later generations in order to keep their precious stories alive.
A pilot G2G course was run in 2004 and followed by intensive programs in 2006 and 2010. The result of these two programs has been the addition of a new generation of guides to the Sydney Jewish Museum, without whom our education programs simply could not function.
The program encompasses the complementary themes of history and memory and comprises educational seminars focusing on Holocaust history, oral testimony and issues arising from the process of intergenerational transmission of memory. The academic learning process is further enhanced by ongoing contact with Survivors in a one-on-one mentoring program. Participants will also learn about Jewish history, culture and tradition and in particular the history of Jews in Australia.
The SJM will not be running a G2G course in 2012.

LEWES, Del. - Police have made an arrest in connection with three May burglaries in Lewes. Delaware State Police have arrested 27-year-old Casey Wiedman, of Lewes, and charged him in the three Sand Dune Village May 9th burglaries. Police say tips from the public led investigators to Wiedman, who then turned himself in on Monday night.
Wiedman is accused of breaking into three homes between 1:00 and 7:20 AM that night, and in one instance, taking 12 guns before fleeing. After the arrest, Police searched Wiedman's home, where they reportedly recovered all 12 guns, and apparently found more than 148 grams for marijuana packaged for sale, and drug paraphernalia.
The investigation into these and additional burglaries that Wiedman might be linked to, is still on-going. Additional charges are reportedly pending, but right now he is charged with a slew of offenses, including 2nd degree burglary, possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony, drug dealing, and theft of a firearm. He is being held at Sussex Correctional Institution $84,250 bond.
"The Delaware State Police would like to thank the public for their continued support, involvement, and vigilance in providing information and reporting suspicious persons and activity, and thanks to the media for their continued support and news coverage that leads to public tips and information."

"Good game last night" I told him as I offered a hand. He grinned and mine was swallowed like
a guppy going in a grouper. It was startling. Not because of size but because it was like shaking
hands with the limb of an oak. Calloused, long and strong. A quick smile and he was gone.
They say you can tell much of a man by a handshake. A hand calloused this way is evidence of long
hard labor. A worker.
There is a lot of variation among projections by those who have followed Solomon Alabi's career at
Florida State. One constant among them all is he works hard to get better.
TrueCubbie is a regular contributor to tomahawknation.com and a numbers man who regularly elucidates.
He recently contributed to a Thunder blog site an article much like the "Know the Prospect" series here that
discussed Solomon Alabi. His conclusion? I'll quote his article and offer my own impression. After the jump-
First here's the article by TrueCubbie for his take word for word.
1. What type of player is Solomon Alabi?
Solomon is your typical athletically gifted, raw seven foot center. His defensive skills are far
ahead of his offensive ability. Additionally, he needs to get stronger, which is no easy feat for
a seven footer. Solomon only started playing organized basketball during his junior year of high
school, which is when he first arrived in the United States. He also received a medical redshirt
his freshman year. Adding all of that up results in a relatively 'inexperienced' player, which at
times shows up in his play on the court. That said he is very aggressive on the defensive end of
the court and was one of the best shot blockers in the country. His timing is outstanding and he
really is a difference maker on defense. If you watch him play, you will see that he needs to have
better footwork and confidence when he is getting established on the low post. Given his relatively
short duration of a basketball career, it is not surprising that his offensive skills lag behind his
defense. Though, he should signs of significant improvement this year and could turn into a complete
I'll recap his actual on the floor experience- 2 years HS and 2.33 years college
At a reported 7'1 and 250 with a wingspan of 7'3 to 7'5 depending who you believe and a standing reach of
9'1 he has the physical stature necessary to defend the rim and is aggresive in doing so..so much so that
it often leaves him out of position to rebound.
2. Based on what you know, do you think he'll be an NBA caliber player? If so, who would you compare him to?
Alabi has the athletic ability and potential to develop into a difference maker in the NBA. However, the likes
of Hasheem Thabeet and Roy Hibbert should be in one's mind when thinking about Solomon's NBA career. If he can develop the lower body strength, he'll get regular minutes. But, it is hard to see him trying to post up
against a Shaq or Howard. He is an incredibly gifted free throw shooter and could be used in late game
situations. There is certainly the possibility that he will develop into a NBA caliber player, but he is an
investment for the future. Granted, as a Chicago Bulls fan, I never thought Noah would turn into the kind of
player he was this year. So, hard to really predict, but his impact will not be immediate.
I believe Solomon can contribute defensively his first year. Much beyond that would be gravy. The free
throw shooting is significant as it is rather rare among NBA centers and he exhibited the ability to knock
them down with the game on the line as well. I think his ceiling could be more like another Nigerian native,
Hakeem Olajuwon They do have a lot in common. Both were soccer players who took up basketball late in life.
Solomon was a striker. He is also reported to enjoy handball, tennis and ping-pong.
Solomon Alabi FSU Basketball Feature
Here Alabi knocks down 2 shots in the final minute of the game to help FSU overcome Marquette
in the finals of the 2009 Old Spice Classic in Orlando. He spent most of the game on the bench due to
foul trouble (unusual for him) but stepped up big in crunch time.
In time Solomon could be the best center to come out of this draft but will need the right teachers.
4. Do you think Alabi will drop to pick #21, or do you think he'll go before that?
Before the start of the NCAA season, Solomon was predicted to be a lottery pick and some
draft boards thought he might even turn into a top ten pick. The hope was that Solomon would
turn into a consistent double-double kind of player. He finished the year averaging 11 points,
6 rebounds and two blocks per game in 25 minutes of play and shot 79% from the free throw line.
He also averaged two turnovers per game. Everyone hoped that his offensive game was going to
blossom this year, but it didn't evolve quite the way everyone hoped for. He could easily be
available at 21.
The combine numbers will certainly affect the draft postions of many in the draft. Could be as
high as 10 by then or as low as 30.
I would not be all that concerned with the lack of offensive dominance. The fact is FSU lacked the
ability to make a simple entry pass and he got far fewer touches than he should have. He shows regular
progress due to his work ethic and intelligence. Add to that the lack of respect for any real outside
game from FSU guards and you wind up with a clogged middle where Solomon regularly faced triple and
double teams.
Solomon shows a nice baby hook when he remembers it and a nice mid-range touch to the elbow. He does
like to flush.
Solomon is a project, though. He does need more core and a wider-stronger base. His handle is just not
at present and he can be awkward and ungainly.
Professional players can dedicate time to the game and he'll certainly need coaching to attain his
full potential. He should show a large jump in skills in a short period. Probably at least 2 years
from being a full time starter though.

When 41-year old Maria Fox discovered her weight had crept up to 14st 13lb, she started an exercise routine to help her lose weight. And thanks to her workouts and the support of our site, she has shed 3st 13lb to weigh a healthy 11st for her 5ft 9in frame.
Maria, a Chief Inspector in the West Midlands Police, managed to lose 1st 7lb before she joined rosemaryconleyonline after setting herself the goal of getting back to the weight she was in 1994. That was the year she joined the police force as a very fit, size 14, 23-year-old.
Maria has now surpassed that goal to reach a weight she has not been since she was 12 – an achievement she is understandably delighted with.
Maria's weight problems started when she moved police forces 10 years ago. The increased demands of the job, which had also become more sedentary, along with long commuting times, left her with little time to work out. And, in 2006 and 2010, Maria suffered two serious skiing accidents, which also had an adverse effect on her weight, as she was unable to exercise.
"Being overweight affects your self-image and your self-esteem and I used to feel that I had to hide my body away," says Maria, whose inspiration was to look good in a bikini.
In June 2011, Maria turned to rosemaryconleyonline to help add to the weight loss she had achieved through exercising. She had heard Rosemary speak at her church and was inspired to try her weight-loss/healthy lifestyle plan. "It is so easy to do and I like it," she says. The proof is in the (low-fat) pudding, as Maria succeeded in shedding a fantastic 13lb in the first month.
As well as starting to cycle to work and back – a round trip of 50 miles – once a week and cycling part of the journey on other days, Maria also did spin classes and gym workouts.
"I had no excuse not to exercise," says Maria, from Burton-on-Trent in Staffordshire.
She also made dramatic changes to her diet. "In a typical day before I would always eat some chocolate, crisps, high-fat processed foods and I would pay little account to nutritional values in food," says Maria. "Now I read every label before buying something that is not fresh meat, fruit or vegetables and eat very limited processed/prepared foods."
Maria found the help of our site invaluable. She liked the "encouragement and accountability without the need to go to class".
"It gave me ideas for recipes and also nutritional advice together with the ability to consult the coaches for support.
"It is well signposted and has good information about BMI (Body Mass Index) and fat percentages.
"Plus, seeing other members' stories spurs you on," says Maria, who reached her goal weight in January 2012 and has maintained it ever since. And because she has found this relatively easy – by regulating her food input with her exercise output using her My Fitness Pal iPhone app and the Rosemary Conley App – she now plans to lose a further 7lb to 10lb.
Maria now has a holiday to Majorca to look forward to, where she is planning to wear and feel comfortable in the bikini that inspired her to lose weight.
And looking good is not the only benefit of losing weight. Maria says: "I have never been as healthy. I don't seem to get half as many colds or viruses."
She has also proved an inspiration to others. Maria says: "My weight loss has encouraged colleagues and others who need to lose weight and some have joined the site."
And, with training for a 120-mile sponsored cycle ride from Wolverhampton to Aberdovey to train for, Maria shows no sign of cutting down on the cycling that has helped her achieve her fabulous figure. Maria has cycled between 2,000 and 3,000 miles in the past year – and 350 of those miles were in the last month alone!

When it was announced that Marcus Davis has been booked for a kickboxing match in Dublin, Ireland, we already knew it wasn't going to be pretty for him. I don't think people expected it to be this bad though.
The UFC veteran fought under K-1 rules for an ISKA championship, and it didn't turn out very well for him. He took on Mark Casserly and the fight only lasted less than two minutes.
The former pro-boxer in Davis tried to use his hands earlier on, and constantly pressured the much taller fighter. Casserly remained patient though and landed well-timed right head kick that landed flush and knocked him out stiff.
Check out the video of the fight and the brutal knockout finish after the jump.
(The KO finish is around the 2:20 mark.)
Davis is now 38-years-old, and prior to this nasty KO loss, he last competed in MMA last October, losing a decision to TUF vet Chuck O'Neil.

Shangri La Diet Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
The Shangri-La Diet is a program based upon a book written by Seth Roberts. Unlike many diet publications, the Shangri-La Diet offers an official website as well as a detailed Wikipedia page. The information on the Shangri-La Diet is a bit confusing on the website. There is a plethora of information on how the diet came to be, but little on the specifics of the diet.
Shangri-La Diet plan by Seth Roberts.
Product Features
Despite all of the information on the Seth Roberts website, there is little that can be found about the Shangri-La Diet. Some brief excerpts and forum postings give the reader a brief glimpse of the theory behind the diet. According to Seth Roberts, our bodies work with a weight set point. This set point is what controls hunger. If our body weight goes below that set point, we are hungrier and thus eat more food. If our bodies go above that set point, the hunger subsides until the body reaches a weight that is near the set point.
The Shangri-La Diet aims to reset that natural body weight to a lower weight with the use of tasteless foods and fats. The diet allows the healthy consumption of fats and sugars claiming that foods are not the problem; rather hunger is the problem for those who want to lose weight. The flavorless oils are a major precursor to resetting that weight set point to a lower level. Much of the information presented on the website is about the self-experimentation followed to test the Shangri-La Diet. The scientific publications are confusing and offer no insight into the efficacy of the diet plan.
The Shangri-La Diet book can be found on Amazon for as low as $0.01 per book plus shipping and handling. The official website for the diet plan does not offer a return policy or direct means of ordering the book.
- The Shangri-La Diet book is inexpensive.
- There is an official website and Gmail contact information.
- There is no evidence that the Shangri-La Diet helps user to lose more weight.
- The website is confusing and filled with huge amounts of information that does not pertain to weight loss.
- The diet supports eating foods that are bland.
There are times when we review a diet plan that is nothing more than claims on a website or in a book. The Shangri-La Diet seems to be one of those diets. There is a huge amount of information about how Seth Roberts came up with the diet plan, but no information scientific support for the diet let alone the theory of a weight set point.
The book is very inexpensive and buying the book for a good read may be an option, but if dieters want to lose weight, a weight loss supplement with a fat burner and appetite suppressant may be a better option.

I have never watched Cape Fear. Not the original or the remake!
But I did see Heat in the theater.
I have never watched Cape Fear. Not the original or the remake!
But I did see Heat in the theater.
Finally got around to watching Perfume. Dustin Hoffman was awful. Ben Whishaw was brilliantly creepy and bizarre. What a bizarre movie, actually. I totally loved it, it was beautifully shot, but what the **** with the story? Grenouille is scary as ****, yet somehow still endearing. I felt sorry for him. That's how good I thought Whishaw was. A creepy, creepy serial killer who I felt sorry for. WTF! Haha!
Heat is a freaking masterpiece and the best movie made since the last time Pacino and DeNiro were in a movie together (the one before Heat, not the one after it). The acting is fabulous, the set pieces are incredible, and the way the climax sets up and goes down is just perfection. Don't let yourself get attached to anything you are not willing to walk out on in 30 seconds flat.
Ooops, misplaced post.
But anyhoow, you should read the Perfume novel, K&T, it's really good!
Killer's Kiss - An early Stanley Kubrick movie I hadn't seen before. It was alright. Some nice noir-type cinematography, but beyond that nothing special.
The Changeling - I was a bit disappointed with this. It had a couple really good creepy bits and a decent enough story, but I guess my expectations were too high. Not bad, but not great.
Meek's Cutoff - **** this movie. Seriously. It's a very slow movie that seems to be building up to a conclusion that never comes. When the screen went black and the credits rolled, I couldn't believe it. There was no ****ing ending! I sat through almost two hours of watching covered wagons roll across desert (beautifully shot) for nothing. Other than some decent performances (especially by Bruce Greenwood, who I was happy to see step out of his normal type of role) and gorgeous landscape shots, this movie has NOTHING to offer unless you're a history teacher who wants your students to see what it was like for settlers back in olden times. That aspect of it seems genuine enough. But if you want a story, character development or any kind of interesting anything, look elsewhere.
Oh man...how could you not like the Changeling. It's a quiet little ghost story that's way effective. The ball on the stairs scene...c'mon...
Saw 'Secret Life of Timothy Green' yesterday. Pretty decent for a whimsical Disney adoption movie.
It's possible that the environment I watched it in might have ruined it a bit for me (because IFC is not in HD and has commercials), but... the scene with the chair chasing the lady was just bad. I did really like the bit with the little girl having nightmares, though.

From Christopher Columbus Fellowship Awards:
Bright ideas, solid research and teamwork won four students from Whiteface Science RocksU in Whiteface, TX, a spot as finalists in the Christopher Columbus Awards, a nationwide program that challenges middle-school students to explore opportunities for positive change in their communities. Sixth-graders Daniel Rivas, Luke Blake and Frankie Sanchez, and their coach, Laura Wilbanks, made it to the semifinals last month and are now one of eight finalist teams in the country to compete for the grand prize - the $25,000 Columbus Foundation Community Grant.
With wildfires a frequent occurrence in Texs, it seemed natural that the Flame On! team would be concerned about the effects of wildfires and whether damages sustained by homes could be lessened. They found that the cost of wildfires that spread to homes is 3 to 30 times higher than previously thought in terms of social, economic and ecological damage. Other impacts include loss of property, possessions and the possibility of homelessness.
The results of the team's Internet research and interviews with people who had experience wildfires - those whose homes were lost or are in wildfire risk areas, as well as local fire chiefs and firefighters - showed them that the roof is often the first part of a home to catch fire in a wildfire. This led the team to develop a non-toxic polymer coating that could be used in manufacturing roofing material to make the roof more fire resistant. The polymer is a material that has amazing properties including the ability to absorb 300 times its weight in water. This would make it extremely flame-resistant. It could also potentially be added to other building materials in the future to make fire damage even less.
The team remarked, "There must be a way to lower this high cost of living near beautiful places and out of the urban rat race. The possibility exists when homes are built to withstand the encroachment of fire. Will the home become fire proof? Not unless it's build of concrete; but, polymers, which can be used as an additive in the manufacturing of shingles, help give firefighters a better chance of saving homes by drastically slowing the spread of flames across roofs."
A panel of community leaders, scientists and experts in science education selected this idea as one of the top eight entries in the U.S. More than 850 students and coaches participated nationwide.
The team and their coach won an all-expense-paid trip to the Walt Disney World Resort, where they will compete in the Christopher Columbus Awards National Championship Week, June 9-14, 2013, plus a $200 grant to further develop their project.
Two GTold Medal winning teams will be selected, with each team member receiving a $2,000 cash prize. The entries will be judge again to select the $25,000 Columbus Foundation Community Grant to help bring the winning team's project to life in their community.
The finalists will also attend the Christopher Columbus Academy, a custom-designed educational program. Conducted by scientists, engineers and educators, the program reveals the science and technology behind the thrills and excited of the Magic Kingdom and Disney's Hollywood Studios.
The Christopher Columbus Awards challenge teams of middle-school students to explore and discover opportunities for positive change in their communities using science and technology. The program is now in its 17th year and has attracted more than 19,000 students from diverse backgrounds all across the U.S. The program is sponsored by the Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation (www.christophercolumbusfoundation.gov) and is endorsed by the Association of Middle Level Education. Past winners have included a team from San Diego that has secured a provisional patent for a specialized seat cushion design that uses sensory feedback to train people to maintain a healthy posture while sitting at a computer, and a group of students from Illinois who developed a multifaceted recycling awareness campaign that increased recycling in their community by 60% in just four months.
The program attracts many students who may not typically enter a science competition. More than half of the entrants are girls, and nearly a fourth are from diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds, statistics that are high than those of most science competition. The Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation believes the teamwork aspect and community focus draw a broader range of students to enter.
The Christopher Columbus Fellowship Foundation is an independent Federal government agency created by Congress in 1992 to encourage and support research, study and labor designed to produce new discoveries in all fields of endeavor for the benefit of mankind. The Foundation has established Frontiers of Discover-Work in Progress and Discover the Future programs that recognize "cutting edge" innovations, innovative ideas of America's youth, and honor teachers. These programs include the Agriscience Awards, Life Science Awards and Christopher Columbus Awards.

If he thinks $1k is enough, he clearly (1) hasn't done his homework, (2) doesn't plan on doing any type of mailing and (3) isn't planning on doing any ads/fliers at all.

I like this guy and I hope he is not empty baloney like the other city council members that are out there now. And I do hope that he is outraged by the city manager's salary and interest free loans to buy home, the pension and the salary of the librarians, overtime pay of the police and firefighters,pension plans of all city employees. It seems like we have a mini Arab country here right in the middle of Silicon valley. Actually i take that back. whole of California cities/towns and the entire state is operating like Brunei.

If David is so naive as to think that "it shouldn't take thousands or tens of thousands of dollars to be a council member," I think he is out of touch with reality. Get with the program, son! If he finds an alternative (not spending over $1,000 and get elected), he will be my personal hero!

The National Weather Service in Columbia, South Carolina has issued a Winter Storm Warning for snow, sleet, and freezing rain which is in effect from 11:00 a.m. Tuesday to 9:00 a.m. Wednesday for counties in the CSRA.
The storm may cause snow and sleet accumulation of 2 to 4 inches and 1/4 to 1/2 inch of ice late tuesday morning through Wednesday morning.
The risk for power outages exists, as well as northerly winds from 10 MPH to 15 MPH with gusts up to 20 MPH.
There is a 50% chance of precipitation on Tuesday, a 90% chance on Tuesday night, and a 40% chance on Wednesday. Temperatures readings are expected to be in the upper 20s and lower 30s Tuesday afternoon, in the lower to mid 20s Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, and in the 30s Wednesday afternoon. Lows will be in the teens Wednesday night.
A Winter Storm Warning means significant amounts of snow, sleet, and ice are expected or occurring. This will make travel very hazardous or impossible. Only travel in an emergency. If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency.
Currently, the counties north of I-20 (including Columbia County) will have much colder air and are expected to have mainly a snow event, with up to 2" of snowfall. Columbia County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) director Pam Tucker says, officials cannot rule out that there may be accumulations of ice on trees, which could result in some power outages.
The counties south of I-20 may have more sleet and ice to contend with prior to the snowfall.
The CSRA may start seeing snow between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Tuesday afternoon, with snow ending sometime Wednesday morning.
CSRA counties are preparing staff, equipment, and supplies so that emergency functions will not be interrupted and to assure that the roadways are as safe as possible.
Preparations To Consider:
Emergency Supplies
If you know a winter storm will arrive in your area soon, make sure you have the following ready, especially in the case of a severe winter storm:
• Firewood, if you have a fireplace.
• Food that is non-perishable, if you lose power.
• Emergency equipment such as generators and flashlights, tested and ready for use.
• Water for drinking and cooking, collected in bottles in case your pipes freeze.
• Make sure to charge your mobile phone, laptop and other mobile device batteries.
Family Preparedness Plan
Develop a disaster preparedness plan for your family that includes the following:
• Plan on a place to go when a winter storm warning is issued, depending on where you are -- at home, school, work, or if you're outdoors or in your car.
• Plan for a friend or relative you've designated as your point of contact if you are separated from your family during a severe winter storm.
• Place where family members can meet if you're separated in a storm.
Prepare Your Home
• Make sure your home's attic and walls are properly insulated.
• Let your faucets to drip to prevent freezing water from causing pipes to burst.
• Make sure your pipes are properly insulated and leave cabinet doors open around pipes to ensure they receive warmth from the air flowing through your home. Learn more about taking care of pipes here.
• Apply weather stripping to exterior-facing windows and doors, and put storm windows in place as needed.
• Set up emergency heating equipment, such as a fireplace with wood or coal and a camp stove with fuel.
• Purchase space heaters as needed and learn how to use them safely "" keep space heaters away from furniture, drapes and all flammable objects, and never leave them turned on in a room where no one is present. Never drape wet clothes, gloves, hats or socks over a space heater to dry.
• Learn how to shut off your home's water valves in the event that a pipe breaks.
Prepare Your Car
Avoid dangerous winter travel problems by taking a few simple precautions. When the season changes from fall to winter, remember to have the following maintenance service performed:
• Check your car's radiator system and have it serviced as needed.
• Check the antifreeze in your car, to make sure you have the right amount and mixture for winter.
• Check your windshield wiper blades and replace your wiper washing fluid with one that's specifically for wintertime driving.
• Check your tires for any worn-down areas or treads.
• If you don't already have them, purchase jumper cables and store them in your car.
• Purchase an ice removal tool and store it in your car, in case your windshield and windows become covered in ice.

I didn't like the idea of the Palin-Huizenga hybrid staying on top of the page all night, so here's the semi-anticipated Marisa Miller/Ryan Braun ad for Remington. You may remember the post in August when we were first introduced to photos of the shoot. Or more likely not. So here it is, the video you've barely been thinking about!
Because it's a web ad, or maybe because Remington cut costs by firing all editors, or maybe because they hired a group of seventh graders to write, the commercial features some of the worst acting this side of NSFW and runs for an astounding two and a half minutes. Which is what I really need as a consumer: longer advertisements.
Don't get me wrong, I'd cut my penis off if it that's what it took for Marisa Miller to touch it, but I'm still not gonna say this video is great just because it gives me close-ups of things of body parts that I've already got memorized down to the individual pore.
I want more like this!

Good lord how much are they going to spend!?!? Pro Football Talk says that New York has grabbed Damien Woody the former Patriot and, most recently, Detroit Lion. He signed for 5 years and $25.5 million, $11 million of which is guaranteed. I guess the Jets have a 'win now' mentality. Will they be any better if they are flipping between Kellen Clemens and Chad Pennington? The Jets are obviously improved but is it enough to challenge the Patriots? Thoughts???

The Week at Marston Rd - vs Wolves Casuals and Blyth Spartans
Posted: November 08, 2012|
Rangers set up derby tie against the reds
STAFFORD Rangers progressed through to a local derby against Stafford Town with a deserved Walsall Senior Cup victory at Brinsford Lane on Tuesday night.
Rangers made three changes from the side defeated by Blyth Spartans with Lee Downes, Michael Carr and Ryan Brown rested and Christian Dacres, Sean Kinsella and Jon Sheldon starting.
Casuals, of the West Midlands Premier League, were hosting Rangers for the first time and were to prove worthy opponents.
The first half was a scrappy affair with chances at a premium.
Sheldon forced a fine save from keeper Todd Henderson and Ryan Dicker should have done better with a header midway through the half.
A piece of brilliance from Fabrice Kasiama lit up the game when he planted a left-foot shot into the bottom corner from just outside the box, three minutes before the interval.
Craig Edwards had a chance to equalise but he overran the ball with only Danny Read to beat.
Casuals were back on terms a minute into the second half when former Rangers midfielder Dean Clarke raced clear and curled a fine shot past Read.
Rangers response was immediate and they were back in front on 51 minutes.
A jinking run from the impressive Sheldon finished with a shot which fell to Danny Quinn in the six-yard box and the Rangers leading scorer made no mistake.
Henderson, who also played cricket for Milford this summer, kept the Casuals in the game with a string of saves to thwart the trio of Kasiama, Liam Walshe and Quinn.
Rangers should have increased their lead on 65 minutes.
Sheldon raced clear on the left and his cross was met perfectly by Quinn. The first effort was well saved but the rebound was blasted over the bar.
Michael Carr sealed the victory with a fine shot from outside the area with three minutes to go.
Casuals - Henderson, C Franco, Evans (Aldridge 66), Butler, Lloyd, Clapp, Adams, Love (A Franco 68), Edwards (Bellingham 57), Clarke, Pilgrim. Subs not used: Williams, Cooke Rangers: Read, Turner (Brown 84), Davies, Walshe, Dicker, Dacres, Heler, Kinsella (Carr 66), Quinn (Curtis 88), Kasiama, Sheldon. Subs not used: Alcock Referee: A Sarginson.
Attendance: 97 (est).
Ten-man Boro miss out after long trek
TEN-man Stafford Rangers slipped to a single goal defeat after the long journey north to Blyth.
It was Rangers' third successive away league defeat, leaving them 14th in the Evo Stik premier table.
Rangers had to make one change from the side that performed impressively against Chorley with Danny Read replacing the unavailable keeper Adam Alcock.
Blyth were looking to bounce back after an eight goal trouncing in midweek and Ryan McGorrigan tested Read inside three minutes but the returning stopper was up to the task.
Rangers wasted a glorious chance in the sixth minute when Liam Walshe headed a Jimmy Turner free kick well wide. Fabrice Kasiama was just wide with an effort before Blyth opened the scoring on 11 minutes. Rob Dale sent Lee Mason clear on the right and his cross into the six-yard box was turned home by McGorrigan.
Ryan Brown forced a save at full stretch from Conor Grant as Rangers continued to have the majority of the play. Michael Carr sent Oliver Davies clear just before the break and the youngster cut inside, hitting the crossbar with a right foot effort Walshe came to Rangers rescue after the resumption with a last ditch tackle to thwart McGorrigan, before Rangers were reduced to 10 men.
On 56 minutes, Heler misjudged a through ball from Craig Farrell. Dale took advantage, raced into the box and was brought down by Heler. The referee pointed to the spot and brandished a red card to Heler. However, Farrell missed with his spot kick. With Rangers a man light and pushing for an equaliser, it was clear there would be opportunities for Blyth. Turner put his body on the line to block another effort from McGorrigan.
Rangers continued to strive for an equaliser and with two minutes left, Ryan Dicker blazed over the bar.
Boro skipper Lee Downes, struggling with a heel injury, then rattled the Blyth woodwork with a 25 yard volley.
Rangers team - Danny Read, Jimmy Turner, Ryan Brown, Liam Walshe, Ryan Dicker, Michael Carr (Sean Kinsella 68), Peter Heler, Lee Downes, Danny Quinn (Darren Alexander 68), Fabrice Kasiama, Oliver Davies (Jon Sheldon 77). Subs not used: Christian Dacres, Levi Reid.
Sent-off: Heler (Rangers); Booked, Utterson, Buchanan (Blyth), Walshe (Stafford).
Referee: Warren Broadbent; Att: 317.

Boy am I glad to see the Bats alive and well.
For a while there we were racking up losses for our pitchers because we had no run support for them. I mean, Liriano has not been pitching like a 1-4 pitcher. But then again, why base their performance on wins? You can have the best pitcher in the world, keeping the other team to less than a 1.0 era, but if your team can't score you get a loss? Silly.
I am glad Casilla got sent down, not because I don't like him, but because I think his head is somewhere else. He seems distracted out there.
Delmon Young has got to pick it up as well.
