Basingstoke Town Ladies lose to local rivals Aldershot Town
3:00pm Thursday 20th February 2014 in Sport By John Boyman, Sports Reporter
BASINGSTOKE Town Ladies went down 2-0 away at local rivals Aldershot Town Ladies in the Southern League Premier Division on Sunday.
Town made a bright start, with Sian Wylie hitting the post after just 10 minutes and putting another chance wide soon after, but goals on 20 and 22 minutes put the hosts in charge.
Basingstoke goalkeeper Erin Davis pulled off two good saves to keep her side in the game at half-time and while Town pressed after the break, they were unable to get on the scoresheet. Josette Pearmine saw two shots flash wide, while Tracy Jones and Wylie were both denied by the Aldershot goalkeeper.
The ladies, who sit sixth in the table, travel to fourth-placed Maidenhead United on Sunday.

Obama Sought Out Controversial Gay Bishop
Joel Hunter wasn't the only religious leader on Barack Obama's list of people to call. Obama also sought out controversial gay bishop Gene Robinson three times during his campaign, Ruth Gledhill of the The Times in London reports.
"The first words out of [Obama's] mouth were: ?Well you're certainly causing a lot of trouble,' My response to him was: ?Well that makes two of us.'" "He said that Mr Obama had indicated his support for equal civil rights for gay and lesbian people and described the election as a "religious experience."
Robinson is the openly gay bishop whose consecration led several Episcopalian conservatives to split from the church.
In other non-political but important religion news, a third diocese split from the church today. The Diocese of Fort Worth, will vote next week on whether to do the same.
Oh yeah...but Obama is a christian right??? Yeah, and Bishop Spong is a christian also right?? And the unitarians preach the truth....
Please note..I am being sarcastic...this article and thousands more to come in the next 4 years will show all those deluded christians that they voted in the most anti christian candidate in American History!!
Sad but true!
Obama does not support gay marriages! This is misleading! He supports that they should be allowed the same health care opportunities as I should! They are still humans! It is the ACT that is condemned, not the person!! Where is the church in this! How are they ministering to the homosexuals instead of criticizing and condemning!! When we talk about homosexuality in the church, it is in the form of condemnation! Please, minister to these people as Jesus would!! Let them know they have another choice and his name is Jesus!! Speak with love and not contempt!!
Barack seems to be so much like Christ than the rest of you all. No, I am not saying compromise, but, compassion that reaches out to others. I believe God is going to use him to bring healing to our nation.
I find it extremely interesting that anyone who reads the bible cannnot see, that as Israel was judged for offending a Holy God, so will America be judged. How can Yahweh bless a Nation whos sins have now surpassed the sins of Sodom and Gommorah. His judgements are always redemptive in Nature, desiring a people who call themselves by His name to repent and turn from sin. The only hope for mercy on this Nation is for the whole lot of us to fall on our faces and cry out for Mercy as Ninevah did. However where are the Prophets who speak a true word of Yahweh. Just as in the days of Jeremisah they prophesy lies, And the few who prophesy the truth our thrown out of your man made religious organizatons
Bishop Gene was fully instituted as a Bishop in the Episcopal Church of The United States.
He, amongst many, bishops, speak in favor of all civil rights for all people.
Not just conservative Christians.
Everyone has the right to determine their status in life and no one has the right to abridge their rights.
As to those leaving the church may they go in peace but they need to realize that they are reforming themselves to be with Nigerian and groups in So. America and the only things they want are the properties and income of the United States churches. They will be really disappointed when they find out the real motives.
The bible makes no distinction between the sin and the sinner. That is an unbiblical concept. People are condemned not apart from their actions but because of them.
Barack Obama has said openly that he is not in favor of gay marriages, however his record on the issues says anything but that. He was against Prop 8 in California which simply sought to overturn the rogue activist judges ruling on marriage. Prop 8 only said that the state of California only recognizes "marriage" to be between one man and one woman. It had nothing to do with civil unions, health care, or any other "rights" afforded to all individuals, regardless of sexual oreintation, race or other, under the constitution.
He also wrote a congralutory letter to the members of the Gay Lesbian Bisexxual Transgender org on their choice to get married, when California allowed it. If that seems "like Christ" to you, then I would suggest reading your bible a little more carefully.

Whoa!! I didn't detect even the smallest condemnation, never mind contempt, in the simple report above. Yes, many evangelical Christians are judgmental and that needs to change, but overreaction to a simple news story is not an appropriate response either. It was a simple report. As it happens, I agree with Obama on this one, but draw the line at gay marriage. Marriage, by definition, cannot BE except between a man and a woman. But civil rights for the gay community is a good and moral thing. If our gospel is anything other than winsome, why would people want to become Christians?
I agree with the comments about showing love and compassion to all and reaching out to all. But shouldn't the church show Christ's love without condoning the sin? That doesn't mean throwing stones or holding angry demonstrations, but it does mean standing fast against sin. But it seems as if many Christians want it either/or - love and compassion OR stand against sin. Yet Christ called us to do both. (Obama, by the way, is against gay marriage but for the civil unions, essentially a state-sanctioned marriage.)
While there are MANY things I disagree with the President Elect on, I think that believers will fair much better under his Presidency, than non-belivers would have under Evangelical domination!
Obama, like Christ? Are you serious? Perhaps you should look at the Christ of the Bible, instead of accepting the Christ that the media tells us to be like... one who has been re-made impotent and void of a passion for holiness. Seriously, re-read the Gospels. Jesus was not wishy-washy about sin. True, Jesus absolutely loved sinners... especially those who were ignorant of their sin. But, where is the tolerance in "go and sin no more?" And as for religious leaders (like the bishop) who lived in sin, those who claimed to represent God on earth, those, Christ had no tolerance for whatsoever. Read His words to them, they were absolutely words of condemnation. In short, Jesus related quite differently to those who He wanted to lead into the truth, than He did to those who had already heard the truth only to reject it for the lies of Satan. Obama may be a charismatic leader, but his leadership on several moral issues is in the opposite direction of Jesus. I'm ready to give him a chance as President, even though I didn't vote for him and passionately disagree with his past positions. But, please, don't tell us how Christ-like He is. He may have some good qualities, but to liken Him to Christ, especially in moral issues like this, is simply outlandish.
It is enlightning and heartening to see a true Christian support and accept other Christians, gay or straight.
As for the pouters that want to leave the churches, don't let the door hit you. Please make us both happy and leave. We have suffered too long and wasted too much time in trying to placate your twisted theology.
We finally have a president who will listen to us, do something positive, and not be tyrannical in his leadership ideals.
GMMelby, Pastor
Oh Chris, I wish you were right. But right now he is going to use his presidential power to reverse all the directives Bush has in place regarding abortion, and many other things abhorent to God. Check out www.massmediamail.com/durarealidad
if you dare.
let it be known the lord loves all sinners thats you.he died on the cross for all of us.Please understand the Christian they love the homosexuals but when your a christian you cant go against Gods word.Please I am a sinner in differant ways ,but jesus states who ever calls on the name of the lord will be saved.in john 316 states for god so loved the world that he gave his only son that who soever belive in him has eternal life.you would not give your only begotten son if there was anyother way to god would you?we are to call on jesus as sinners he will then help us in our sins he then will give us the holy spirit to overcome all differant kinds of sin.Jesus states in John 14;6 I am the way the truth and the light nobody goes to the father exept through me.thankyou God bless and please call on Jesus he will help all of us.
Obama opposed Prop 8 in California, how is this not being in favor of gay marriage? Codifying sinful behavior in law is not showing compassion, but a further disintegration of the moral fabric that under-girds our society. It is entirely consistent to oppose sinful behavior while reaching out to the sinner in a compassionate way. This is what Jesus did with the woman caught in adultery. He dealt with her accusers but told her to go and sin no more. He had compassion because the law of the land allowed for her to be stoned, but he also showed no tolerance for her sinful behavior. (John 8:3-11)
Ann, the "church" hears and listens to only what they can hear, that being that anybody who disagrees with them, is a dispicable sinner.
Ann, the "church" hears and listens to only what they can hear, that being that anybody who disagrees with them, is a dispicable sinner.
Let us not refer to the bible in response to
anything that is happening in this day and age.
To think that a 2000 year old book has any relevance
in this year of 2008 is cuckoo to say the least.
For Linda, Nov 11th - This is so true! You never hear about homosexuality and abortion until election time, in the church!! We are expecting Obama to undue what has been allowed for years before he even ran for office!! What has everyone, especially the church been doing up until now!! Abortions have increased and homosexuality is on the rise! You can legalize all you want, but people will still DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH THEIR BODIES!! Alot of Christians are homosexuals and having abortions, don't fool yourself!! Sitting in the pews in silence leading a double life similiar to Ted Haggard!! All of a sudden now everyone wants to jump on the band wagon to stop it! Just preach the gospel without condemnation!!
Christians are called upon to be judgmental, not in the sense of judging harshly, but in weighing issues based on the Word of God. Homosexual practice is irrefutably condemned in the Bible and unrepentant sinners should be shunned instead of being given leadership roles in the church.
Mr. Obama's agenda calls for seeking statistical outliers like Robinson. His all accepting, all inclusive policy may be okay with society in general, but is ill-informed regarding the church. It's admirable to want to serve the needy, but without sound judgment based on good teaching I guess it's hard to know where to draw the line.
It's not "Gay marriage," it's just "marriage." With the current understanding of marriage as between two consenting adults who love, respect and support each other and want to try to establish a life long relationship and merge and expand their respective families, as I think Bishop Tutu said about marrying same sex couples..."Why not?"
"Homosexuality" isn't a sin, it's not even a theory that's applicable to people. People do identity, animals do homosexuality. The word strips GLBT people of their identity, reducing them to animal behavior...making "homosexual" an absolutely unacceptable label for a people and their communities.
"but in weighing issues based on the Word of God"
True, but the Bible talks about homosexual practice a maximum of 11 times and injustice to the poor over 2000 times. Not saying its not an issue, just not THE issue. If we are weighing issues, lets get the scales out and find out what matters most to God.
What about war and imperialism? What about racism? What about globalisation, and oppression?
The only New Testament portion to talk about actual homosexual practice (not male prostitution; also I use practice because orientation was not actually considered in antiquity) is Romans 1.
In that chapter, it is discussed as one of the chief symptoms of idolatry, part of a downward spiral, a breakdown in essential humanness. "Refusing to know God, they soon didn't know how to be human either."
But their sexual confusion is in the middle of the spiral, not at the end and not at the beginning. From verse 28 on, God lets the idolaters run loose. The rampant evil that is then released is described as "grabbing and grasping, vicious backstabbing... envy, wanton killing, bickering, and cheating...". Sex isn't mentioned.
In Romans 2, directly after that he says, "Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. (NKJV)"
It is a mistake to try to legislate consensual sexual practice: it is confusing the symptom for the disease. The church needs to offer these people better lives--the life Jesus gives--not try to manipulate their present lives through legal action.
It is a mistake to think of homosexual practice as the biggest sin. The Bible talks a lot about sin, but so very little about that one. When it does, it indicates a very different assessment. Romans 1 makes it clear: when hell breaks loose its not sexual sins with which God is taking the most issue (verses 28-32).
The old testament prophets were the most outspoken on the heinousness of sin and yet Ezekiel says the sin of Sodom (known for its deviant sexuality) was "pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty and committed abomination before Me". (By the way, 'abomination' is not exclusive to sexual sin though it does include it). God's first complaints on Sodom was that they were proud, gluttonous and lazy and ignored the poor.
Why is it so many American Christians are more concerned about a symbolic victory over sexually confused people than about working for the real 'moral issues' that the God of scripture is concerned with?
Many American Christians are PROUD and nationalistic, saying God is for our country and sanctions our wars. Many American Christians are GLUTTONOUS: we consume more and more things, buy more and more things and all the time we could meet the basic nutritional needs of the third world with what we spend on ice cream every year (look it up if you don't believe me). We die of obesity-related diseases while others die of starvation. We are LAZY. Our government pays agricultural subsidies to corporations to overproduce, and uses the artificially cheap products in conjunction with tariffs and over-priced pharmaceuticals to keep an entire HALF of the human beings in the world, human beings made in God's image, in abject poverty, trying to live on less than $2 a day. The amount we spend on agricultural subsidies is 6 times what we pay in so-called 'aid'. Its not that we're not doing enough for them, its that we're doing to much to keep them down.
So, who are the Sodomites?
In Ezekiel 16, God was saying to Israel, "Sodom hasn't sinned like you have, because you knew, because you were mine, because I loved you like a husband loves his bride, I found you covered in blood and nursed you, I made a covenant with you, giving you my love saying I'd be torn apart before I'd break it. So, how could you go and break it?"
I have a feeling that could be Jesus speaking to so-called Christian America. We took Sodom's blueprint and made it public policy. It has very little to do with homosexuality. And at any rate, we'll take Paul's word for it: that's only a symptom on the way to a far worse outcome. The disease is idolatry. As long as we worship an American Jesus that bears little resemblance to the Jesus of Scripture and of history, (taking selectively from the Bible to push partisan political agendas) that's what we're committing, and then we're part of the problem and not the solution.
"2nd Thes Chapter two "the apostasy will come first beforchrist Jesus returns and now you will see as in the news already they the sodomites are attcking the Churches and this is Americas demise and in three years the Anti-Christ will be revealed when the road map to peace is signed dividing the land of Israel. which by the way is God's land and you can read it in the bible,make no mistake about it. "When I arise says the LORD I will also make an end so this will mark the last seven years of Daniels prophecy Ch 9.
Anti-christ will make a false peace with Israel and break his deal in the middle of the seven years and sit in the Temple in Israel and claim to be God and also no more money Just 666 no more cash just the chip under the skin. Repent and prepare yur hearts for the King of King and the Lord of Lord's. Amen even so come Lord Jesus.
"Marriage, by definition, cannot BE except between a man and a woman."
No, that is incorrect.
Marriage, BY DEFINITION, is a union of any two elements - included in this would be the merger of two companies (like ABC and Disney) or two or more ingredients in a recipe (like peas, Cheddar cheese, salad dressing, roasted peanuts, LaChoy Chinese noodles, cauliflower and pearl onions in pea salad).
The actual word itself never has been limited to the religious sphere. Do not deceive yourselves that it has.

UPDATE: The Falcons released Bear Woods, Jose Valdez and Rafael Bush. All three are believed to have invitations to the practice squad.
The deadline to cut down to the final 53 man roster is at 6 p.m. today.
Along the way, a lot of pre-season Falcons are going to have to get the boot. Use this thread to predict, mull and pontificate on the cuts before they happen, and perhaps to put forth your own preferred final roster. For the record, I'm sticking with my picks outside of a couple quick changes to the practice squad, which I'll reproduce after the jump.
I'll be off and on the computer all day, but I'll have a cuts wrapup by the end of it. In the meantime, if you guys can write front-page worthy FanPosts about the rounds of cuts, I'll pop 'em up.

Wigging Out With Cher's Mane Man-------
Wigs, according to backstage fixture Sam McKnight, have taken the place of hats. And with choppy bowl-cut versions showing up at Marc Jacobs and Fendi, we'd say a trend is on the rise. Once thought of as something saved for Halloween, old ladies, and Lady Gaga, they're quickly becoming more commonplace. For the photos attached to Cher's latest album, Closer to the Truth, hairstylist Ricardo Rojas fitted the grand dame of divas and hair chameleon with faux strands reminiscent of a French beauty legend. "I wanted to re-create her signature long waves and youthful energy," he explained. "I love Brigitte Bardot's sexy tousled [look], so I went about styling the hair with that texture in mind, along with a little bit of rock 'n' roll." And if your first question is, what exactly is the songstress hiding under the many wigs she wears in the artwork for her latest album—debuting three alone, including one made of newsprint, for the "Woman's World" music video—it's "gorgeous and long hair," said Rojas.
The secrets to wearing a wig well, he explained, are not only to ask your stylist for advice, buy real (not faux), and get it cut by a pro, but to also concentrate on color. "When you first buy a wig, it lacks the darker roots and border that make it appear as if it's your own," Rojas elaborated. Then treat it like you would a Lucien Pellat-Finet cashmere sweater, meaning give it major TLC (and a monthly trip to the salon for maintenance). And while a quality rug is certainly an investment, you don't have to commit to just one look…or suffer a bad hair day ever again.
The (Beauty) Beat Goes On-------
In case you've somehow missed the barrage of bulletins from Paris—via Twitter, text, Instagram, Tumblr, and good old-fashioned phone calls—Cher (CHER!) is at the Fall collections.The legendary singer—and, lest you've forgotten, Academy Award-winning actress—made Gareth Pugh her first stop of the week yesterday and answered the burning question of whether or not that would be her only stop by showing up, arm in arm with Fergie, at Balmain this afternoon. At 66, the style icon still looks amazing and, it should be pointed out, is still very much on message. The red eye shadow Cher had slicked across her lids in the front row of Olivier Rousteing's show happens to be the very same color many a face painter has gravitated towards for Fall. "There's a sort of seventies feeling to it," makeup artist James Kaliardos said of the cranberry tint that has turned up at Diane von Furstenberg, Gucci, and Anthony Vaccarello—and has long been a favorite makeup trick of the music legend, who is apparently still setting trends all these years later. Yet another reason to add the color to your eye-makeup arsenal, stat.
Cher's Sticky Situation, Avril Makes It Three, And More…-------
In her undying efforts to, um, turn back time, Cher was photographed wearing face-tightening tape around her jaw line at the U.K. premiere of Burlesque last night. Note to Cher: If the idea was to appear younger, maybe that bright orange wig was not the best call. [Daily Mail]

More beauty news from Princess Watch 2010: Famed U.K. stylist Nicky Clarke has insinuated that Kate Middleton and her coiffing choices are boring. "She's not the most adventurous, is she?" Clarke has said. Treason! [Telegraph]
Get your eight hours. Results from a recent study suggest what anyone with sleep deprivation already knows: You appear more attractive and sexier when you're well-rested. [The Sun]
OPI for Stage Beauties-------
As evidenced by the recent onslaught of beauty mash-ups (Le Labo for Anthropologie; Prabal Gurung for Sally Hansen; Jason Wu for CND; Disney for MAC, just to name a few), the collaboration game is no longer the exclusive domain of fashion. OPI has been particularly adept at wrangling a few boldface names for forthcoming lacquer lines, including both Katy Perry and Justin Bieber. But to keep you satisfied until you can paint on a few coats of One Less Lonely Girl, the nail varnish giant has released its latest pop-culture-friendly collection, Burlesque. The dozen high-wattage polishes were inspired by the outrageous costumes and over-the-top glamour soon to be on display when the Steven Antin-directed film of the same name premieres this month, starring two of the world's most legendary divas: Cher and Christina Aguilera. The movie does not hit theaters until November 24, but a full set of flashy tips is just a click away. Personal favorites include Take the Stage, a warm, punchy orange; The Show Must Go On, a creamy hot pink; Ali's Big Break, a classic showgirl red; and Tease-y Does It, a shimmering deep burgundy. (Nipple tassles are not included, so you know.)

Oh my Tumblr chums, though I have thoroughly enjoyed my stay here, I have been lured most heinously over to Wordpress! With its tremendous widgets, tag clouds, social networking integration and so on and so forth, I have been hopelessly tempted. I will continue to link from Tumblr for now, for the lovely people who are 'following' me, but I hope you will continue to follow from afar, via Google Reader or a good old fashioned bookmark!
Oooooh what could it be, what could it be??
July was my first ever Vegan Food Swap, and a very exciting one! As my first attempt I hope I managed to put together a decent outward package - I included a vegan choccy bar, a yummy chorizo, some fruity gummy sweets and some home baked brownies. I did fear slightly for the home baked goodies but I do hope they arrived in a good condition!
The parcel I received from the lovely Jojo of Vegan in Brighton was wonderful!
I am a huge liquorice fan so it was a joy to receive 3 liquorice based goodies :) The chocolate and sweeties were yummy indeed! Some of them found their way onto my cupcakes, like lots of sweet things in my house……
Thank you Jojo for my wonderful box o' vegan delights!
To join in with the UK Vegan Food Swap just head over to To Happy Vegans and sign up :)
By jingo, I love Lush! Christmas and birthdays are often Lushtastic for me, since I can send friends & family members in there to buy me "whatever's vegan" and they just can't go wrong! As well as buying me a mascara from their brand new makeup range (ALL VEGAN!) my boyfriend topped up a gift card for me for my recent birthday, and today I skipped into my local store with GLEE and got the most wonderful haul!
Ooooh deary me. My ambitious plans for a weekly blog post roundup became somewhat swept up in all the cake kerfuffle. But nevertheless! I have been keeping track of all the yummy and interesting happenings out there in the vegan blogosphere….
Fat Free Vegan Kitchen has been a huge inspiration to me ever since I first Went Vegan. For reliably yummy, healthy, wholesome dishes, this blog never fails. This Thai Black Pepper and Garlic Tofu looks mighty tasty to me.
I adore Maple Spice - it has to be in my top 10 vegan blogs out there today, and my top 5 non American. This Stuffed Jumbo Pasta Shell Lasagne looks AMAZING and it'll definitely be on my dinner-for-guests list for the near future. Thank you Maple Spice! <3
Here's one I am definitely saving for the Autumn months! Veggie num num's Eggplant Risoni Bake looks absolutely delicious, not to mention hearty, rustic and generally cosy as heck.
These Chive & Garlic Dumplings from Olives for Dinner are entirely my cup of tea. Lovely doughy dumplings with a tasty garlic chive filling. In my mouth please!
My dearest vegan readers, life has been tremendously busy of late! I have spent the last week or so baking like a baking MACHINE, but the busyness has, I hope, now eased off for a little while. Today was my birthday and my first non cake filled day in a while……much to my joy! But here we have a little selection of the cakes, dinners and other treats of the last week or two….
I do hope normal service will resume shortly!
Here comes another hearty, pietastic dinner idea for all you pie-lovers out there! Recently I picked up a pack of Vegusto herb sausages from V Revolution, who have stocked up on a tremendous amount of Vegusto goodies recently. Though I scoffed one in its glorious natural (grilled) state for breakfast, I wanted to do something a bit more exciting with the other, and you can never really go wrong with pie glorious pie!
- 1 recipe shortcrust pastry (or buy ready rolled)
- 2 red onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- 3 tbsp red wine
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Bisto onion gravy granules
- 1 red chili, finely chopped
- 1 large veggie sausage of your choice, chopped
- a handful of ripe cherry tomatoes, halved
First, grease or spray your pie dish with oil. Line the bottom of the dish with pastry ready for filling and preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Over a low heat, sauté the red onion and chili in a little olive oil. Add the vinegar, syrup, red wine and sugar and leave to cook, covered, over a very low heat for 10 minutes. Add the gravy granules and a little hot water if necessary. Allow the mixture to cook, covered, for another 5 minutes.
In a frying pan, sauté the sausage until browned, and flash fry the halved cherry tomatoes in the pan with the sausage for a few minutes. Then, line the bottom of the pie with the sausage and tomato.
Put the caramelised onion mixture over the top, and top the pie with the remaining pastry.
Bake at 180 degrees for around 20 minutes or until nicely browned…..
Yay for pie! The bestest Sunday food!
Ohhh myyyyy gossshhhhhh it's been busy here at Cake Towers recently! I have some pretty chuffing booked up weeks of baking approaching and unfortunately it's not really been the time to get SAVOURY CREATIVE in the kitchen :/
And so, I turned to the good ol' PPK tonight for this tofu omelette. I'm trying to go a bit easy on the fats/carbs lately if at all possible, so I swapped out the olive oil and added a little soy milk. I used my trusty copper bottom frying pan with the lightest spraying of oil and these turned out perfectly. I topped with 1 chopped Linda McCartney sausage, cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, chopped spring onion and garlic. All were sautéed over a low heat with a spritz of oil. I mixed in a tablespoon of noochy goodness just before serving.
I had a little play with some gluten free pasta today since I've been gorging on gluten in a big way recently and I've had a bit of teh dreaded bloat.
I used Sainsbury's standard 'free from' corn fusili and the tremendous Appetite for Reduction Easy Breezy Cheezy Sauce, replacing the plain flour with maize meal and adding some olive oil and soya milk.
I baked in the oven with some grated Vegusto and Cheezly on top. A satisfying and hearty dinner after a hard day's bakin'! Not quite up to Amy's Daiya Mac & Cheeze standards, but good enough for me :)
I rarely venture into Manchester city centre on a Saturday night these days….. I'm far too old for all that, and the staggering men and tottering women that can be seen lurching around town as early as 9pm are not quite my cup of tea.
HOWEVER, yesterday was different. Yesterday was INTERNATIONAL VEGAN PIZZA DAY! So after I had delivered my calzones and pizza slice cookies to V Revolution (a tremendous vegan lifestyle & record store in Manchester's Northern Quarter) and had spent a fun couple of hours lunching & shopping with the lovely Vicki, it was off home for a bit of a disco nap before our dinner reservation.
I chose Dough Pizza Kitchen, again in Manchester's Northern Quarter, as they have a variety of vegan options for all courses - a rare treat in a mainstream restaurant!
I started with a big ol' baked garlic mushroom topped with rocket, which was lovely and 'meaty' and tasty and by god, HOT.
Then it HAD to be pizza of course - I went for the veggie option with wonderful Cheezly atop……
And finally I finished with a ridiculously tasty chocolate brownie/peanut butter blondie combo with dairy free vanilla ice cream….
All in all a very satisfying first Vegan Pizza Day for me - what did you get up to??

By Jade Bulecza - bio | email LOWNDES COUNTY, GA (WALB) –Wild Adventures kicks off its season with three new rides.
Two of them are named after mascots at Valdosta and Lowndes County schools.
One coaster had a million dollar renovation and there will be new babies at the petting zoo.
Wild Adventures opened up its new season with three new rides the Flying Falcons, the Viking Voyage, and the Whirling Wildcats.
"Wild Adventures is Valdosta's home grown park and we are excited to pay tribute to our local community that support us over the years and help us grow so we named two of the three rides after our community," said Wild Adventures Public Relations Coordinator Micha Hogan.
The Viking Voyager is the park's eighth coaster. It's five stories tall.
"It goes pretty fast down the first drop," said Spring Breaker Ethan Mims. "It's real fun."
The Whirling Wildcats ride is the new scrambler and the Flying Falcons ride allows you to do the steering.
"The front sail you can control it so when you swing out you can go in and out and weave around and make it as wild as you want," said Hogan.
"I like all the new rides," said Mims.
Their traditional wooden coaster has been renovated.
The Cheetah wooden rollercoaster underwent a million dollar renovation. The park repaired part of the tracks to make it a smoother ride, while still keeping it's original thrills.
The Safari Ranch petting zoo has new baby animals including bunnies, a baby Longhorn, piglets, ducklings, donkeys, and chicks.
When you think of spring time you think of baby animals and so "Wild About Babies" is our spring time event all things cute and cuddly in the petting zoo," said Hogan.
The park will even let you groom the animals and by the end of the day you'll have some new friends.
The water park, Splash Island, opens this weekend.

After tying a record high of 76 degrees on Wednesday, we will challenge the record of 74 today, set in 1997, says WBTV Meteorologist Al Conklin.
And we'll continue to see a threat of spring-like showers today and tonight, but they will remain widely scattered.
Most of the area will be rain free Thursday.
An approaching front looks to kick off a more important round of showers and heavier thunderstorms early on Friday, followed by a clearing trend for Friday afternoon.
Highs Friday will still be above normal, in the mid to upper 60s, Conklin says.
The weekend will be dry and mild with high temperatures in the mid 60s.

I found myself wondering after tonight's game if Craig MacTavish knew just what he was getting when he acquired David Perron or if he was like me who simply thought he was trading up from a solid third line left winger with plenty of potential to a proven first or second line left winger.
If you follow me on Twitter you may have seen me make the point that every team to make the Stanley Cup Finals since 2008 has had a player that could put up points and play hockey but was also an asshole on the ice with a real knack for getting under other players skin. Detroit had Tomas Holmstrom, Pittsburgh had Matt Cooke, Chicago had David Bolland, Philadelphia had Scott Hartnell, Boston had Brad Marchand, Los Angeles had Dustin Brown and while I did not follow the Devils much I believe David Clarkson also filled this role quite well (Feel free to tell me if not).
The point of all this is that while all these players were all different in their roles as well as many other ways, they all have a had an ability to agitate opposition players and get them off their game and then turn around and make them pay by putting the puck in the net.
While that is an excellent quality to have, David Perron has the potential to present much more to this team. There has long been calls from fans, media and management a like to add size or toughness to the top six on the team. While I agree with many that skill and hockey ability should be put first and foremost, I don't think that simply because something cannot be measured means it's not valuable.
Functional toughness seems to be the current buzz word for this topic and while it's a nice concept it's not always attainable and I find that the problem comes when it cannot be acquired and teams seemingly forget about the functional part. At this point teams and players like Mike Brown who are tough but not functional. A much better but less popular option is to fill the lineup out with functional players first.
From what I've seen so far is that David Perron brings that mystical functional toughness. He is a player with very high skill but also brings those 'intangible' aspects that cannot be measured. Perron finishes his hits, goes hard to the net and then stays there. He gives players a wack on the shin and isn't afraid to give opposing defensemen a wiff of his glove.
So while I may disagree that we need to add size to our Top 6, I would concede that we need to add toughness to the Top 6 and this can be done without changing the personal. The long standing philosophy has been that players like Eberle, Hall, RNH and Yakupov can't muck it up infront of the net after the whistle because they are too small. Well if David Perron can do it why can't they? There's no reason they can't, Hall is actually a bigger player than Perron in height and weight. Perron does have about 20lbs on the other three but he is very similar in size and there should be no reason those guys can't get their gloves up in peoples faces or snow a goalie from time to time?
The Oilers have other examples of this in their lineup such as Joensuu, Ryan Jones or Tyler Pitlick. I chose to focus on Perron in this post because he is the most proven goal scorer of the bunch with the highest skill set. But to briefly discuss these other players, Ryan Jones did not play a fantastic game tonight against Montreal, he had some bad turnovers, one even resulting directly in a goal. However, he was engaged in scrums and went hard to the net without flying by and he wound up with a goal as a result. Tyler Pitlick hasn't had much time to prove himself at the NHL level but he showed flashes of a similar style during the preseason and looked solid in his debut tonight. The other player of this quality has yet to produce much at the NHL level but also had a very impressive preseason and played the hard game in his few appearances so far this season, unfortunately he has been plagued with the injury bug so far this season.
Toughness doesn't mean you have to drop the gloves, it just means you don't back down and simply skate away in a scrum.
Let me know what you think.

Lee County- The Lee County School District will break ground before Christmas on its new Twin Oaks elementary school.
Kinney Construction of Lee County will build the new school. The building will house third, fourth and fifth graders.
It will be constructed on land owned by the school district near the Middle School and Kinchafoonee Primary. A committee of teachers toured schools statewide and made recommendations for the new building.
"We will have LCD projectors in each classroom, we'll have drinking fountains and water in each classroom and it will be a very functional school," said Dr. Larry Walters, Lee Co. Superintendent.
The 14.5 million dollar project will include a new water tower to service all three schools.

Americus--Many animal shelters have seen a dramatic increase in animal drop-offs lately. Since June first, the Sumter County Humane Society has taken in more than 100 animals.
They're running out of room and money to care for them all. The shelter already had to stop a spay and neuter program for low income pet owners because of a lack of money.
Sumter County Commisioners did recently approve $430,000 dollars for a new shelter. Volunteers say it's needed because there's not enough room for all the animals now.
"It's going to make the community more pleasant, safer. You won't have to worry about animals as much roaming the streets," says Michelle Andrews with the Sumter Humane Society.
Every year, more than half of all animals in shelters nationwide are euthanized. If you'd like to adopt a pet at the Sumter County Humane Society, you can call 924-0268.

I am interested in...
Folate is a water-soluble B vitamin that occurs naturally in food. Folic acid is the form of folate that used in supplements and added to some foods.
Folate is an important nutrient for pregnant women and women planning to become pregnant. Folate helps to reduce the risk of birth defects affecting the baby's brain and spinal cord. These are called neural tube defects.
However, folate has benefits for everyone because it:
Americans tend to assume that if a little bit of something is good, then more must be better. However, there are risks to getting too much folate, whether you are a healthy adult or a woman who is pregnant.
Find out how much folate you need, how to avoid getting too much, and which foods are the best sources.
How Much Folate Do I Need?
The recommended dietary allowances (RDAs) for folate are based on age.
How Much Is Too Much?
Eating foods fortified with folic acid and taking supplements is a good way to get enough folate. There doesn't appear to be any harm to getting lots of folate naturally from foods. However, too much folic acid may be harmful to healthy adults and women who are pregnant.
Folic acid was added to the food supply in 1998. As a result, Americans increased their folic acid intake by more than 200 micrograms a day.
If you are pregnant:
Folic acid reduces the incidence of neural tube birth defects when taken during the first 8 weeks of pregnancy. But, many women do not know that they are pregnant until later than 8 weeks. That is why all women of reproductive age are advised to take 400 micrograms of folic acid a day, in addition to eating a balanced diet. Only 500 micrograms a day are needed to reduce the risk of neural tube defects.
Women in their second and third trimesters also benefit from folic acid supplements to help with increased cell growth. It takes just 450 micrograms of folate a day to maintain normal folate levels during the second trimester. This can come from a combination of dietary folate and folic acid.
If folic acid is so important during pregnancy, why not get as much as possible? Extra folic acid in your body during pregnancy may affect your baby after birth. Recent studies have suggested that too much folic acid during pregnancy could have some effects on your baby's health during childhood and into adulthood. The question of how much is too much is still being debated.
If you are a healthy adult:
The upper level of tolerance (UL) for folic acid is 1,000 micrograms a day for adults. This is because high folic acid levels with low vitamin B12 levels may lead to mental impairment.
Excess folic acid intake may also increase the risk of some cancers. For example:
Food Sources of Folate
Folate is found in fruits, vegetables and many foods that are a good source of protein. It must be broken down in the gut before it can be absorbed.
Sources: USDA Nutrient Database, release 18; NIH Dietary Supplement Fact Sheet, 2009
Many foods are fortified with folic acid. It was added to all enriched grain foods in 1998 to help reduce the incidence of neural tube defects. It is digested and absorbed more easily than folate. It takes only 0.6 micrograms of folic acid to equal 1 microgram of folate.
The Bottom Line -- Go Natural
Eat foods that are high in naturally-occurring folate. If you choose to take a folic acid-supplement, choose one that has no more than 400 micrograms a day unless your doctor advises you otherwise. Also, consider limiting your intake of foods fortified with 100% Daily Value (DV) of folic acid to avoid getting too much.
Although folic acid was added to our food supply to target reproductive-age women, Americans are getting an average of 200 micrograms a day through fortified foods. You can easily meet your needs with a balanced diet that has only naturally occurring folate.

I have many complaints about the state of mainstream national sports media, including the popular ones of not covering NHL enough and reporting too many Tebow stories. But one complaint I have that most people don't seem to mention is that there is not much coverage at all of when teams are about to move unless there's a major event. Because of this, many people still think the Jaguars are a candidate to move to LA (hint: they're not). Considering the huge impacts these moves have the coverage is well short of what it should be.
No need to fear, for I am here to clear things up. Right now there are two major moving stories in the sports world: the NFL to LA and the NBA Kings to Seattle. I'll talk about both, the LA because it directly effects the NFL (and likely the AFC West), and the Kings because it may end up having an impact on Kansas City.
The Kings: Why They May Move
The Kings have been all over the country. They started out as the Rochester Royals in 1948, became the Cincinnati Royals in 1957, then moved to KC in 1972 while changing their name to the Kings (the Royals were already taken), then finally settling in Sacramento in 1985.
Although it looked like they were stable in California, the Maloof brothers managed to run them into the ground. They haven't made the playoffs since 2006-2007, and they have traded away many of Sacramento's good players for cash. Even the most fervent anti-Clark Hunt people can't argue that he's cheaper than the Maloof brothers.
In 2011 the Maloofs tried to move the team to Anaheim to try and grab a piece of the LA market. This was so close to happening that most people believed that the last Kings home game of the 2010-2011 season would be the last game they ever played in Sacramento. Their announcers even cried after the game. However, largely due to fan support, the NBA stopped the relocation.
The Maloofs then announced that the team would move if they didn't get a new arena deal by 2013. The city of Sacramento worked out a stadium deal that the Maloofs approved. So the Kings stayed in Sacramento and everybody lived happily ever after.
Except they didn't. The Maloofs backed out of the deal. And now they sold the team to a group from Seattle. At this point all that stands in the way of their sale is approval by the Board of Governors (i.e. the other NBA owners). Technically they have to vote both for the sale and the relocation, but the sale requires more votes than relocation, so the relocation vote is a formality if the sale goes through.
Right now Sacramento is trying to fund a stadium of their own and an ownership group to buy the team. Their hope is that the NBA will deny the sale to the Seattle group, which will force the Maloofs to sell to the Sacramento group (the Maloofs are broke, so they basically have to sell the team at this point). They have a very real shot, since the NBA will want to send a message to other cities that if you play ball with the NBA and build a new arena when they want, you can keep your team.
What The Kings Mean To KC
The NBA faces a challenge if they decide to force the Maloofs to sell the Kings to a Sacramento group. Namely, Seattle will still be a large, NBA-hungry market without a team but with an arena deal. What many people in Seattle hope will happen is that the NBA will expand and put a new team in Seattle (sort of like the NFL did with the Browns).
This, however, puts the NBA at 31 teams. The NBA has had an odd number of teams in the past, but an even number is even better. My hope is that in the expansion talk, people start throwing KC around and that we may also get an expansion team.
The biggest problem with KC getting an NBA team is that our arena makes too much money. There was a report a couple years ago (that I can no longer find) that said that the Sprint Center was among the top ticket selling arenas in the world (and I mean top 10 or 20). AEG (who owns Sprint Center) doesn't need an NBA or NHL team in the arena to make money.
While it probably won't happen that way, there's still a chance.
Who's Going To LA?
Now to the NFL, there are really only three teams that are realistically contenders to move to LA: The Rams, Chargers, and Raiders. Right now LA has the stadium ready to go, they just need a team to move there.
The Raiders are likely to move because they have one of the worst stadiums in the NFL. It's really as simple as that. They also have a large fanbase in LA, so it would be an easy move for them. Other than LA their two options would be the new stadium the 49ers are building in Santa Clara (which probably won't happen since they'd be left without much of the profits) or building a new stadium in Oakland (which the Mayor wants to do, but it's still a long way off). Overall, it seems like the Raiders would make the perfect choice for LA.
The Chargers are basically in the same situation as the Raiders. They're stadium sucks and they're looking for a new one. The Chargers, however, are in a year-to-year lease in Qualcomm, so they can leave whenever they want. They said they're staying in San Diego for the 2013 season, and considering how easy it would be for them to move to LA, it's interesting that they haven't given more serious consideration to moving. One would think that if they wanted to move to LA, they would have done so already.
The Rams situation is very complex. Basically, when the Edward Jones Dome was built, part of the lease stated that the stadium had to be in the top 25% of the stadiums of the NFL. I'm not quite sure how they're measuring that, but it clearly isn't.So now they're in the process of negotiating renovations.
The process goes something like this. The city got to propose a plan for upgrading the stadium. If the Rams accepted, the renovations would be done and the Rams would stay in St. Louis. They proposed a $48 million renovation plan. This plan was released, and it had to be one of the most embarrassing things I've ever seen. They used pictures of Arrowhead (with the Chiefs logo clearly shown in the background) as a picture of what they'd do to their stadium. Needless to say, the Rams rejected the offer.
Now The Rams had to come up with a renovation plan, with the same deal as above (but in reverse). They offered a $700 million plan, which the city, of course, rejected.
So they went to arbitration, and three weeks ago they came back and agreed with the Rams' $700 million plan. Nobody knows how it's going to be paid for. The Rams can't leave St. Louis until 2015, so they have at least two more seasons there, but if St. Louis can't come up with a way to pay for the renovations, the Rams will likely be long gone.
In short, I think the Raiders and Rams will both move to LA. LA is a huge market and can handle two teams. Both of these teams have a history in the city, with a fanbase already there. They both have stadium issues with no solution in sight. And the Chargers don't look like they're ready to move, so I don't see what would make them change their mind.

Troma Readies Last Horror Film DVD
Without question Maniac was one of the single greatest slasher films of the Eighties. It had everything we loved about the subgenre and it had it in spades. Another thing going for it was the stellar performance of the late Joe Spinell. Now Troma is set to unleash another Spinell slasher classic, The Last Horror Film on to DVD.

Chaitanya Mahaprabhu's Sitting Place
Giriraja Maharaja Mandir and Caran Cinha
This was the sitting place of Ma
Jahnava, the consort of Lord Nityananda,
who visited Radha-kunda probably somewhere around 1582, spending four days here
during her tour of Vrindavana. During her visit to Vrindavana she met Jiva Goswami,
Gopala Bhatta Goswami and Krsnadasa Kaviraja Goswami and Raghunatha dasa Goswami.
On arriving from Bengal, Ma Jahnava spent some days in
Vrindavana. At that
time Raghunatha dasa Goswami was in a very pitiable condition due to intense
feelings of separation from Radha and Krishna. Srila Jiva Goswami requested Ma
Jahnava to go to Radha-kunda and give her darsana
to Raghunatha dasa, as this would in inspire him to go on living. This
meeting has been recorded in Bhakti-ratnakara
as follows.
"That illustrious personality, Ma
Jahnava, glowed with a golden
effulgence more brilliant than the sun. When Raghunatha dasa Goswami saw her
coming, he went mad in ecstatic love. He cried so much that he lost sight of
her. Ma Jahnava could understand the inner heart of Raghunatha dasa. Tears of
divine love rushed out of their eyes like well springs. Raghunatha dasa did not
know what to say, or how to please Ma Jahnava, whose heart was burning like
smoldering embers in separation from her beloved Lord Nityananda".
Jahnava, while sitting here on the banks of Radha-kunda had a
wonderful vision of Lord Gopinatha standing under a tamala
tree playing on His flute. To commemorate this wonderful vision, the Deity
of Lord Gopinatha was installed here next to Ma Jahnava's baithaka. In Vrindavana lila,
Ma Jahnava is none other than Ananga Manjari the younger sister of Srimati

Jeff Gordon: Repercussions from NASCAR scandal only beginning
Wednesday, Sep. 11, 2013
KANNAPOLIS NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon warned Wednesday that the repercussions of Michael Waltrip Racing's manipulation of last weekend's race at Richmond (Va.) International Raceway are only beginning.
"It's way beyond you and me, way beyond the sport and the fans," said Gordon. "It reaches out much further than that. It has affected far more people than we can understand.
"It's going to happen again. So it has to be addressed in a big way."
Gordon was in position to make the Chase during the closing laps by finishing amongthe top 10 in points. But with MWR's cars losing positions by pitting and spinning, Joey Logano ended up claiming a guaranteed spot, leaving Gordon out.
That all happened after Clint Bowyer's spin that played such a huge part in Martin Truex Jr. finishing high enough to make the Chase – a spot nullified Monday by NASCAR when it removed Truex from the Chase by docking him 50 points.
"I'll admit, we all are figuring out ways to make the Chase," said Gordon, a four-time series champion. "When the time comes, we want to see what we can do to help our teammate win the championship.
"The difference is there are lines that are drawn, and this crossed over the line."
Gordon said NASCAR's reputation is on the line.
"It's the integrity of the sport," he said. "What level do you go to win? I've been asked if it's OK to knock a guy out of the way to win a race to get into the Chase. There are certain morals that are still involved with what you're comfortable and not comfortable doing."
Gordon, who was at Kannapolis' CMC-Northeast Stadium for a charity kickball game benefiting children's cancer research, said he still is trying to work through Saturday night's events mentally and emotionally.
"The anger and disappointment were unlike anything I've ever felt before," he said. "When we didn't (finish high enough), I thought I'd let the team down. But when you find out later how they manipulated it, that was anger at a whole other level. It's hard to describe.
"But it brings about (another) level of motivation for us to go and race this final 10 weeks."
Gordon walked off to play kickball with three final words:
"To be continued."

(10/16/13) - A long-serving Mid-Michigan fire chief has been fired.
Gary Wade's dismissal happened Tuesday night at a special board meeting in Richland Township near Hemlock, west of Saginaw.
The township supervisor says the termination was due to a poor job evaluation, but the former fire chief's attorney believes there is more to the story.
"The board made a decision to dismiss the fire chief," said Brian Frederick, Richland Township supervisor.
Wade had been chief of the volunteer, on-call Richland Township Fire Department for 26 years, before that tenure came to an abrupt end at a special township board meeting. The vote was four to one in favor of letting Wade go.
Frederick cast one of those four votes.
"From what I can see, from it, most of the board members were upset with communication between him and the board," he said.
Frederick says Wade was given a job evaluation in March. The response time to a house fire in January 2012 was discussed, after a neighboring township fire department beat Richland Township units to the scene. The home was destroyed.
"We addressed it in March, and you know, we addressed and said we have to look for improvements," Frederick said.
Frederick says the response time to the fire was not brought up in a second evaluation, where Wade earned a score of 2.57 out of a possible 5, with three being satisfactory. He says the board, which has been in place since November, has received complaints from residents.
"Just that he was hard to work with, and the communication part of it," Frederick said.
Wade's attorney is Victor Mastromarco, who believes there are other reasons for the dismissal, including one he says came up at the township meeting where his client was fired.
"They cooked up some bogus reason and then got rid of them," he said. "Statements that were made at the meeting where they indicated that the reason they were taking the action was as a result of him not supporting certain people in the election."
The township's assistant fire chief, Larry Wegner, resigned at Tuesday night's meeting after Wade was fired.
The fire chief's position pays about $4,800 a year.
