---- — Christian Petry, a student from Plaistow, was recently honored as one of the brightest young students in the nation at a statewide awards ceremony for academically advanced children sponsored by The Johns Hopkins University Center for Talented Youth (CTY). The Center honored Christian, a participant in the CTY Talent Search, for his exceptional performance on a rigorous, above-grade-level test given to academically talented second-through-eighth-grade students. Christian, a student at Pollard Elementary School, was one of more than 40,000 students from over 120 countries who participated in the CTY Talent Search. Because of the difficulty of the tests, only 25 to 30 percent of students who participated earned an invitation to a CTY Awards Ceremony where they are individually honored for their academic performance and potential.
Maura Smith of Atkinson has been named to the Honor Roll for the third quarter at Austin Preparatory School in Reading, MA.

Originally a row of 16th-century cottages, the Royal Oak now attracts droves of punters, thanks to its dreamy setting smack on the waterfront footpath overlooking Chichester Harbour. It's a cracking spot whatever the weather, whether you're watching the boats & supping a pint of local ale on one of the benches out front, or sitting snug & cosy by a roaring fire in the bar, surrounded by dark beams, timbers & flagstones. The kitchen feeds the passing gallery with pub-grub staples along the lines of battered cod & chips, beef & Ruddles Ale pie, rump steak with all the trimmings, & sticky dark chocolate & walnut brownie to finish. In short, this is a proper pub with real character & a cast of loyal locals.

Bring Chick-fil-A back to the Bay Area!
San Jose and San Francisco are the third and fourth largest cities in California, but they have no Chick-fil-A anywhere nearby. The closest location is outside the Bay Area in Fairfield, CA. South Bay residents might remember the location that used to be inside the Sunnyvale Town Center mall, but then it was inexplicably removed. It's high time that Chick-fil-A came back to the Bay Area!

Live Al Continued: All We Are Wearing Is Give Peace a Chance
Just in case you wanted some confirmation on what kind of leftist garbage NBC endorsed with the Live Earth concert, let's flash back to singer Macy Gray and her back-up singers. Gray, as you might recall from my earlier post, had several things on her dress – a peace sign and the words "Darfur" and "Red Alert." Not exactly controversial, just comical.
Her band was less subtle. You've got the guitarist with the name "George Bush" and a big X through it. How edgy. Then you have the intelligence-challenged guitarist with the name "Dick Chaney" and a big X through that. (For those who call the public school system home, the name is "Cheney.") Here's a hint for the left: Don't go on global TV without a copy editor.
X was the theme. Almost all of the shirts had words or phrases with an X through them.
Others in her band sloganed this way:
- The drummer with the ever-creative "Global Warming" and the big X.
- The keyboardist with "Hunger" and a big X. I'm against hunger as well. I just finished some Cheese Curls.
- The zaftig back-up singer who had room for "War is not the answer." She included the answer on her butt – a peace sign. Butt peace signs were everywhere among the women in the group. (Comment at your own risk…, but(t) it appeared she, like me, had said no to hunger in a personal way.) It didn't appear the men in the band had given up peaces of their butts.
All of this fun video is available on MSN.

PHOENIX (AP) - Arizona has either a shortfall of approximately 4,000 prison beds or a surplus of about 1,000 beds, with the difference based on whether more than 5,100 temporary beds are counted as part of the overall picture.
A legislative staff analysis of a Department of Corrections capacity report says the state prison system has an inmate population approaching 41,000 but a total of permanent beds approaching only 37,000.
The temporary beds provide space for the rest of the inmates. Those beds are placed in spaces such as tents and day rooms.
The Corrections Department say use of temporary beds can result in overcrowding, strain prison systems and impact state and inmate safety.

Really dirty bag and heavy. Not sure what I'll do with it.
U.S. Military - issue Water Can Case
Item # WX2-235543
- Google+
- Details & Specs
"Vet" U.S. Military - issue Water Can Case is a G.I. - tough hauler.
It was originally designed to carry and insulate a military-issue 5-gallon water can... but with its heavy-duty water, fire and mildew-resistant oiled canvas construction, you can use it to haul just about anything. Fiberglass insulation. Web shoulder strap. Heavy-duty zipper. Measures 17 x 16 x 9"d. Weighs 9 lbs.
Condition: Used, in good condition. A refreshing surplus bargain.
- Reviews
Customer Reviews
Well constructed of oiled canvas with wood frame bottom and heavy duty aluminum zipper. Mine had the masonite floor fractured, but this is replacable. I believe this is really for keeping cooked food warm during transport. Haven't checked to see if a GI water can will fit. Should keep food or water warm or cold - would work well for food shopping when you're delayed getting home to the 'fridge. Insulation about 1 1/2" thick.

(WMC-TV) - It is Grizzlies Friday, as proclaimed by Memphis Mayor A C Wharton. Many Memphians are getting into the spirit, wearing blue and gold as a showing of support.
All over the Bluff City, Grizzlies flags flew on cars. Blue and yellow can be found on just about everyone around town.
Mayor A C Wharton deemed it Grizzlies Friday, and even employers that you would not expect heard his message loud and clear.
"We're the official hospital of the Grizzlies. Normally as a hospital we wear specific kinds of attire and professional clothes but we said, 'You know, we're part of this team,'" said Marilynn Robinson, St. Francis Hospital.
St. Francis Hospital was not the only one whose employees were sporting Grizz gear.
Banners outside of Le Bonheur Children's Hospital were flew proudly.
The lobby of the famous Peabody Hotel had some grit and grind just above the swimming ducks.
Wooden statues of several players were painted outside of Presbyterian Day School.
"I love them, they look really great and their faces looks really good. And it looks just like them. I know it, looks exactly like him," said Ben Spiegelman, whose favorite player is Marc Gasol.
Love for the team has been rising long before Grizzlies Friday and it appears to be contagious.
"Never had a flag for the Grizzlies, and I saw flags flying all over," said Robert Tatom, Grizzlies fan. "I think the Grizzlies are healing this city, bringing people together and you know, we're about the same thing, just healing people in a different way."

ERIE COUNTY, OH (Toledo News Now) - A grand jury indicted the man accused in a triple homicide, as well as a rape case.
Curtis Clinton, 41, was indicted by an Erie County grand jury Wednesday afternoon for allegedly strangling to death Heather Jackson, 23, her 3-year-old daughter, and 18-month-old son. The indictment also includes a rape charge for the sexual assault of the 3-year-old and a case involving the rape of a 17-year-old girl five days prior.
It did not take the jury long to hand down the indictment containing five counts of aggravated murder, three counts of rape, aggravated burglary, as well as a variety of specifications, including the death penalty, violent sexual predator, repeat violent offender.
"The reason why we have five counts is there are two types of aggravated murders that he was indicted for for each child," said Erie County Prosecutor Kevin Baxter.
Jackson and her two young children were found dead inside their Sandusky home Sept. 8. According to the Erie County Coroner, they all died of ligature strangulation. An autopsy report revealed the 3-year-old suffered injuries consistent with a sexual assault.
On Tuesday, Clinton pleaded not guilty in Sandusky Municipal Court. His bond originally was set at $3,025,000.
The next step is for Clinton to be arraigned at Erie County Court.

CENTRAL ILLINOIS-- According to a news release issued Wednesday, McDonald's announced that its restaurants will now list calorie information on restaurant and drive-thru menus across the nation beginning next week.
"At McDonald's, we recognize customers want to know more about the nutrition content of the food and beverages they order," said McDonald's USA President Jan Fields. "As a company that has provided nutrition information for more than 30 years, we are pleased to add to the ways we make nutrition information available to our customers and employees."
This comes ahead of a new US healthcare law that will require restaurant to clearly post calories and other nutritional information next year.
Ashley Simper, dietitian at OSF St. Francis Medical Center in Peoria, says there has been mixed results from other restaurants that already list calories.
"I do think when people go out to eat, they like what they like and they know what they want, and they go for specific things," said Simper. "I always say, as a dietitian, that's fine in moderation. However, when you go out to eat a lot, it would be very helpful to have those calorie levels available to help you make a healthier choice."
Nationwide, more than 14,000 McDonalds restaurants and drive-thrus will take part in the calorie posting.

Hey everyone, so during break, I decided to put this up
Pick 51 is fast approaching. Big question - do we risk picking Purke if he falls? Other signability guys - if they fall, I will pick.
Top three discussed in MODS (Chafin, Boyd, Osich) are still available. Hopefully one falls, or at least someone we did not expect.
Let's discuss this as quickly as possible.
Will also discuss picks 88 and 118 here.
Looking forward to our first pick!

Over the last couple of years, I've been afflicted with something that most people who reach a "certain" age have experienced — a declining metabolic rate. It used to be that I could pretty much eat whatever I wanted. As long as I remained reasonably active my weight remained stable. Not so any more. I have to pay much closer attention to how many calories I'm taking in over the course of the day. Otherwise, the jeans start to get a little too tight. Sigh.
Research has shown that maintenance energy requirements (MER) decrease with age in people and in dogs. Cats, on the other hand, are a little different (aren't they always?). Their maintenance energy requirements tend to decrease, just like ours, until they are around 11 or 12 years old, at which point they actually begin to increase again.
Oh, if this were only the case for people. Eleven in cat years corresponds to approximately 60 in people years. For most folks, a higher MER would be a most welcome 60th birthday present!
The reason behind the increased energy needs of older cats appears to be associated with a decrease in their ability to digest fat and sometimes protein. So, if your feline senior citizen is having trouble maintaining her weight on her current diet, consider switching to a food with a higher caloric density that is made from good quality, highly digestible fat and protein sources.
The caloric needs of cats change drastically throughout their lives. A kitten needs a lot of energy to power growth, development, and play. That's why kitten food has such a high caloric density in comparison to foods designed for adults. Once growth has stopped, a cat's energy needs decline dramatically. When a cat reaches middle age (6 to 12 years of age or so), her caloric needs decrease even more as her lean body mass declines, but eventually she starts to need more calories as her ability to digest fat, and possibly protein, declines.
Spaying and neutering have a big effect, too. Several studies have looked at this, and typically cats should receive around 25 percent fewer calories after being spayed/neutered than they took in before the surgery.
wners need to be aware that cats at different stages of life have dramatically different nutritional needs and feed them appropriately. Weighing cats at home on a monthly basis is an easy way to note small changes in body weight while they are still (relatively) simple to address.
- Step on the bathroom scale with your cat in your arms
- Put the cat down, and weigh yourself
- Subtract your weight from the total and you have your cat's weight
- Keep a running record in a journal, spreadsheet, or chart
What look like small changes in body weight are actually very significant. To put it in human terms. A 10 pound cat that gains 1 pound is equivalent to a 150 pound person gaining 15 pounds. Or, when a cat that is normally 8 pounds weighs in at 7 pounds, she has just lost 12.5 percent of her body weight, which correlates to almost 19 pounds for our 150 pound person. That's a change worth addressing, don't you think?

Filmmaker Jason Baker Talks Smoke and Mirrors: The Story of Tom Savini
Anyone who reads this site with any regularity knows the name "Tom Savini" and knows it well. His Special Makeup FX work on films such as Dawn of the Dead, Day of the Dead, Creepshow, and Friday the 13th are legendary. His acting roles in From Dusk Till Dawn, Planet Terror, and Land of the Dead equally so. However, as well as audiences think they know his work, the man behind the FX magic is a mystery… not unlike the great and powerful Oz.
In production now is a documentary called Smoke and Mirrors: The Story of Tom Savini which aims to change all of that by lifting the veil and showing who exactly Tom Savini really is. Recently, filmmaker Jason Baker unveiled a trailer for his film online and the response has been incredible to say the least. The donations to the film's Kickstarter page have yielded unprecedented results.
Dread Central recently spoke with Baker and learned a bit about the making of the film, its subject matter and plans for its release.
Dread Central: Tell me about yourself: did you go to film school and did you attend Savini's makeup school?
Jason Baker: Originally, I'm from the Seattle area and I always had a huge thing for film and for Special FX. I really didn't know much about Tom. I just kind of came to do Special FX. His school is advertised so much in FANGORIA, so if FANGORIA says this place is legit, then it's got to be pretty good. I looked into it and thought it was the best deal for my money, so I came. I did that and I really didn't know what I wanted to do. Then, I got a really good deal on a second student loan, so I just took the film program. As I was in the film program, I got to know Tom a little bit and I thought, "Man, this guy is not like people think" and decided to make it my life's mission for the next couple of years to get his story out there.
DC: I've read of you saying that a couple of times… "He's not like people think." What DO people think?
JB: Well, I think one of the biggest misconceptions about Tom is that he's really arrogant and very hard-headed and egotistical. I think a lot of fans get this misreading of him when they meet him at conventions or things of that nature. I think people confuse arrogance with confidence a lot of the time. I think the other thing that throws people off is how old Tom is and Tom is sixty-four. He's lived the better part of his life and he's no-nonsense.
DC: People also often mistake being reserved for being stand-offish.
JB: I completely agree, and that's the thing, he is not this guy. He's the nicest person to everyone. You get out of him what you put into him. If you're nice to him, if you're courteous and professional, he will treat you the same way. If you're laughing and smiling and having a good time, he will joke and crack jokes with you. But, if you come up and you have an attitude towards him, he'll give it back ten-fold.
DC: What was his reaction to the idea of the documentary?
JB: At first, I think Tom was like, "Ok, great… whatever. You kids have fun with whatever you're doing." I think he thought it was going to be like a little ten minute student final. When I pitched it to him, I told him that I wanted to do it feature length because how else do you show sixty-four years of just a regular human's life, but him being such an iconic person not only in the horror genre, but in film itself? There's been things like SCREAM GREATS and a lot of little behind the scenes DVD documentaries done on Tom, but nobody's ever really talked to him about where he truly came from or what it was like and that was the angle we pitched to him and that's what I think really caught him off-guard.
DC: How many hours did you guys sit and talk with him?
JB: Oh, god… We have shot Tom collectively… we have at least a hundred hours with him. I mean, he's a storyteller and he loves to just talk. And that's the great thing about interviewing Tom, you won't just throw him a subject and he'll just answer the question. You throw him a subject and he'll tell a story which will lead him to something else and then he'll have an epiphany about something and that will lead to something else. He's all over the place, but in a good way. [laughs] Every time is an adventure.
DC: I was kind of shocked at how forthcoming he is in the pieces of interview that are featured in the online trailer. Is that footage just a matter of a hundred hours of keeping Tom talking?
JB: We shot that over several times. That was the other hard part… being a student, we were literally paying out of pocket because we're so passionate about this film. Tom works and we're not paying him, so it was always like, "Hey, Tom… can we set up an interview?" and he'd say, "No, I have to go to Germany for six weeks." But we kept after him for so long that he'd return our calls and say, "Ok, I've got an afternoon free if you guys want to come up to my house or do you want to meet at the school?" What was so great was that Tom didn't treat us differently because we were from the school. I've seen him work with other interviewers and other documentarians and he treated us in the same way he treated them. He was like, "Look, if you guys can fit into my schedule, great. If not, too bad." Not in like a rude way, but the guy has his career. But also, I feel that in the last year that we've been interviewing him, a lot of the biggest part was building that trust with him trusting me and my crew and telling us things. I think another big thing I noticed was that we did a couple of those interviews at different locations and he would be himself and he would talk, but when I interviewed him at his home, he was completely different. He was so much more relaxed and calm and those defenses that everybody puts up would kind of be lowered, if you understand where I'm going with that. He's lived in the same house since he was born, so that is his comfort zone.

ARCADIA, Calif. (April 11, 2009)—Although Battle of Hastings took Saturday's featured La Puente Stakes as the 7-5 post time favorite, longshots were for the most part the order of the day for the remainder of the afternoon and as a result, there is a carryover of $121,702 into Sunday and the prospect of a total pool of more than $1 million.
Saturday's carryover is the 26th from 78 days of racing at Santa Anita's 84-day winter/spring meeting, which will conclude on Sunday, April 19.
ARCADIA, Calif. (April 11, 2009) – British-bred Battle of Hastings, -- whose "light bulb went on" in his last race, according to jockey Tyler Baze – scorched his competition Saturday in Santa Anita's $100,000 La Puente Stakes for 3-year-olds when rallying to a 1 ½-length victory over Smokey Lonesome in the one-mile turf event executed in 1:34.38.
ARCADIA, Calif. (April 10, 2009) – After traversing the seldom run marathon distance of 1 ½ miles on turf, it took a photo Friday to separate the first three finishers in Santa Anita's $55,520 optional claiming feature with the nod going to favored Isipingo.
Winless the last two years but able to call on past graded stakes experience, the 6-year-old gelding nosed out second-choice Unusual Smoke with fastest-finishing Romp another head back in third.
Isipingo, with Alex Solis in the saddle, rallied from fourth in the field of six while covering the distance in 2:25.80.
ARCADIA, Calif. (April 9, 2009) – Rafael Bejarano, who last year became the third jockey in history to sweep the riding titles at Southern California's five major race meetings, on Thursday moved closer to securing a sixth consecutive title and his second in succession at Santa Anita.
Bejarano rode a pair of winners to tie Garrett Gomez at 86 victories apiece in the season's jockeys' standings while moving 12 wins ahead of third-place Joel Rosario with eight racing days remaining in the season.
ARCADIA, Calif. (April 8, 2009)—Favored Malibu Artiste led from start to finish for her third straight victory in Wednesday's featured $52,000 Reluctant Guest Purse at Santa Anita Park, covering 1 1/8 miles over a firm turf course in 1:48.43.
Ridden by Corey Nakatani under 119 pounds for trainer George Papaprodromou, Malibu Artiste won by 1 ½ lengths over Always Auditioning, who had three-quarters of a length on third-place Vikkilee.
ARCADIA, Calif. (April 5, 2009) – While gaining her third straight victory, Sweet August Moon ran down odds-on win machine High Resolve who would fade to third in Sunday's 57th running of the Grade III, $100,000 Las Flores Handicap for fillies and mares at 6 ½ furlongs over Santa Anita's Pro-Ride surface.
The victorious 4-year-old daughter of Malibu Moon thus validated her recent 9-1 upset win in Santa Anita's $100,000 Honest Lady Stakes as she rallied from third under Aaron Gryder to defeat Foxy Danseur by 1 ¼ lengths while clocked in 1:15.21.
The Pamplemousse will be sidelined indefinitely "but it will be longer than six months," part owner Alex Solis II said Sunday after the son of Kafwain was scratched Saturday morning from the Santa Anita Derby, a Grade I race for which he was the 9-5 morning line favorite.
The Kentucky-bred gray was a leading contender for the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs on May 2.

AP Racing Writer
ARCADIA, Calif. (AP) _ Pioneerof the Nile is still learning how to run, and it showed halfway down the backstretch of the Santa Anita Derby.
That's where the colt tugged his way to the lead, gave it up and then went to the front in the stretch, holding on for a 1-length victory Saturday.
Now, it's on to the Kentucky Derby for trainer Bob Baffert, a three-time Derby winner who hasn't had a starter since 2006.
"I'm glad to be back in the show," he said after claiming his record fifth Santa Anita Derby.
The Pamplemousse, 9-5 morning line favorite for today's Santa Anita Derby, was declared a stakes scratch shortly after 10 a.m. Saturday.
"Dr. (Jill) Bailey (D.V.M. representing the Los Angeles Turf Club), during her pre-race examination, identified an issue that she brought to the attention of (trainer) Julio (Canani)," explained Dr. Rick Arthur, Equine Medical Director for the California Horse Racing Board in a telephone press conference in Santa Anita's press box around 11 a.m.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Vanderbilt coach Kevin Stallings has suspended sophomore guard Dai-Jon Parker indefinitely for violating the Commodores' "non-academic team policy."
Stallings said in a statement Tuesday that Parker failed to uphold the high standard expected of Vanderbilt basketball players and will be disciplined accordingly.
Vanderbilt says there will be no further comment until the suspension ends.
Parker played in all 36 games as a freshman. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound guard from Milton, Ga., averaged 1.7 points, 1 rebound and 0.7 steals as a freshman and had a career-best five rebounds in a win over Georgia on Jan. 14.
The Commodores lost their top six scorers from the team that went 25-11 last season and won the Southeastern Conference tournament title.

Cafe Sopra Bridge Street is not the easiest place to find, you can walk right by and have no idea you have just passed a busy restaurant. The entrance is a small gate that leads to a set of stairs going down below street level. They only take bookings for Saturday and weekday lunches; they can get very busy so come early or late otherwise you will have to queue.
Just like there other 3 locations Cafe Sopra Bridge Street serves up very tasty traditional Italian food at a reasonable price making it a favourite place of mine for for a city pasta fix. The menu is on a big blackboard and it changes frequently. After you eat check out the stores selection of Italian groceries and take something home with you to eat.
Spaghetti carbonara $20 – If you like pasta that is not drenched in sauce you will like the pastas here. The carbonara has just the right amount of sauce with plenty of flavour.
Gnocchi $22 – with pumpkin , garlic and parmesan
Garlic Bread $5 – Great garlic bread, nice and crusty.
When you eat at the bar you can look right into the kitchen
It's an unassuming entrance, don't miss it.
Cafe Sopra - 11 Bridge Street Sydney

Wednesday is here again, and with it come the usual round of questions:
- What games are you playing this week?
- Would you recommend those games to other Border House readers?
- What games have you ranting?
- Are any of those games listed ones that you want to see covered on the site?
I have barely played any games this week, but I did start Solstice. It is by MoaCube, the makers of Cinders. It is another interactive novel type game from that group with gorgeous art direction.
So, what have you been playing?

Hey, Hey. So we all know what happened last weekend and if you don't the title should give you some clue. After clearance from the almighty Hoffman Estates Park DIstrict that we wouldn't have to deal with them anymore. They appeared in their mini vans and SUV's. Hockey Kids. They took our rink on what could have been the best day of the year for an outdoor hockey game. If that weather was any more perfect, it would have been the day zombie Jesus rose from the dead. We had a really strong turn out and as most of us were leaving we had three more guys show up ready to play. I feel like the hockey gods are trying to lock me out of everything that is hockey. BUT WE WILL NOT SURRENDER. So come on out to Hoffman Estates this SUNDAY OCTOBER 28TH AT 10 AM. Weather looks good, a little chilly but as soon as you start skating it will feel great. So role call is on, who is going to be there? Bring your friends, bring your family, bring your dog, bring your spouse, bring your skates, and your stick. The NHL season may be dead but hockey lives in Hoffman Estates.
Oh, and as Tim said down in the comments, I will also be wearing my Halloween costume. So I invite everyone to dress up for our Halloweenie game. Again, that's Sunday October 28th 10 am at Hoffman Estates.

The one thing that stands out is how bad McFadden looks. Also I dont understand punting on our second offensive possision, then going for it before the half. The first scenario made way more sense, and they punt, the second I felt was far more risky in every aspect. I just dont get it.
Defense looks great besides the two big plays. Big Ben is obviously not himself, and the punch to the nose couldnt of helped. I still like our chances to get BB going and mixing in Mendy.

There are many reasons most diets don't work and even more reasons to give up dieting forever and get on with your life. If you've tried more diets than you remember, it's time to give it up once and for all and reach your goals the old fashioned way: with a little exercise and some small changes.

BROOKINGS, S.D. (AP) - A Volga, SD man has died in a train-tractor crash near Brookings.

The War on Terror is poorly named
This Reason article claims that the War on Terror is actually a war on jihadists, and is well worth reading.
"I think defining who the enemy is is a real problem in this war," says Mary Habeck, a military historian at the Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. "If you can't define who's a real threat and who's just exercising free speech, it's a problem." As it happens, Habeck is the author of one of three new books that, taken together, suggest the time is right to name the battle. It is a war on jihadism.
Go educate yourself a little bit. Call them Islamists, or jihadists, or Caliphatists or radical Muslims, but don't do a disservice to the mission by continuing to allow the mission creep that is already threatening to lose this war for us. This is not a war against terror. You can't fight a war against something that nebulous and win. This is a war against the people who want fundamentalist Islamic governments worldwide. This is a war against people who want a Caliphate that rules the East and eventually the West. This is a war against people who want to force their rigid belief system on EVERYONE.
Much like the War on Drugs is unwinnable, the War on Terror is a pipe dream. The moniker is being used as an excuse for government growth and abuses that would make most of the men and women who founded the United States of America turn over in their graves.

The Manassas area high school baseball teams had a full slate of games this week. Osbourn and Osbourn Park each played three games, while Stonewall played two.
It was a very important week for all three teams as the regular season is winding down. Each team is doing what they can to better their position in the district standings before the playoffs begin.
The Osbourn Eagles began the week on a positive note as they opened up with a win against Gar-Field. The Eagles had a decent game offensively, pushing five runs across, and got a very solid performance on the pitching end. The final score of the game ended up being, 5-1.
The Eagles were able to continue their winning ways in the second game of the week. It was a contest against Battlefield, who has become somewhat of a rival for the Manassas-area teams. Osbourn again swung the bats fairly well while also playing good defense behind a solid pitching performance. When it was all said and done, the Eagles beat the Bobcats 6-2.
The Eagles finally began to wear down by the third and final game and Broad Run beat the Osbourn, 6-0. Osbourn couldn't get the bats going and it seemed as though fatigue started to set in as a result of playing three games in five days. It was a good week for the Eagles and they improved their record to 10-7 overall, 5-3 in the district.
The Osbourn Park Yellow Jackets got off to a good start for the week as they beat district rival, Woodbridge, 10-7. Osbourn Park used their bats, which have been good all season, to propel them to victory.
Unfortunately, the Yellow Jackets struggled in their two remaining games. They suffered a tough 6-2 loss to Patriot before also falling 6-2 at the hands of Potomac. Both losses hurt, but the second one was a district game. After going 1-2 on the week, Osbourn park is now sitting at 12-6 overall, 7-3 in the district.
The Stonewall Raiders played two games during the week and neither game turned out well. In the first game, Stonewall struggled offensively and defensively on their way to a 10-0 loss against Broad Run.
The Raiders were hoping to bounce back in their second game against district rival, Patriot. Unfortunately, Stonewall continued to struggle offensively as they were held scoreless for the second straight game. Patriot topped the Raiders 3-0. After the two losses, Stonewall is now 7-11 overall, 2-6 in the district.

So Gary Herbert, our governor, who regularly slams fedreal government overreach and excess and so on and so forth, now blames the fed because it didn't lean on Chevron enough to keep its pipelines from leaking oil all over the Bear River Bird Refuge, which Herbert would probably like to take away from the feds because the feds are just evil.
All in this story (click) which Gary finds the continual leaks from Chevron pipelines "unacceptable." Really glad to see he's bringing out the oratorical big guns on this one. "Unacceptable" is right up there with "icky" and "naughty" in the lexicon of politicians who want to express rage without offending a potential campaign donor.
I wish Gary would make up his mind. Is the fed evil, or good? Or is it only evil when it is owning land in Utah, but it's good when it is giving Utah money?
As Wallace Stegner said, the classic attitude of westerners everywhere is "Get that gol-darned federal government off my back and hurry up with my crop subsidy check!"
So we know that Gary is a true westerner, anyway. And, apparently, an angry one, at last.

After a two-year hiatus due to construction on Wheelock Gym, Riverside City College will resume its men's basketball Holiday Tournament.
RCC will host the 41st annual 16-team tournament December 4-8 inside the newly renovated gym.
The tournament includes some of the top teams in the state, including College of the Desert, Mt. San Jacinto College, Antelope Valley College and San Bernardino Valley from the tough Foothill Conference. South Coast Conference members Mt. San Antonio and Long Beach City College, along with Western States South perennial powerhouse Citrus College. Ventura College and Los Angeles Pierce College from the Western States North will also compete, along with Palomar College and San Diego City College from the Pacific Coast Conference.
The Big 8 conference from Northern California is represented by Santa Rosa College. Lastly, from the Orange Empire Conference, Fullerton College, Irvine Valley College, Saddleback College and Riverside City College round out the rest of this packed field.
The winner of the Holiday Tournament usually ends up making it to the State Tournament. The tournament has also been a must-see event for four-year coaches and recruiters.
"A lot of us fellow coaches at the junior college level feel as if this tournament is harder to win the State Championship tournament," RCC coach John Smith said in a statement. "This year is by far the deepest field we have had in my nine years here. Six of the 16 coaches have been to the State tournament before and all 16 teams have started strong this year, so if you want to see some quality men's basketball, the Wheelock Gym is the place to be December 4-8."

…..thanks for posting the video, sad I missed it, but this kinda makes up for it…..:)…..
A huge well done to Mike, Wes, Cassie, Madeline, and Mez on the first
Angry Robot Live Panel.
Hosted by our gregarious US Sales & Marketing Manager Mike Underwood, we learned some valuable lessons from this motley crew – namely, don't ever ask Madeline Ashby about jetpacks or rush Wesley Chu in his scotch drinking. Watch and listen as they chat about instant communication, the scientific implausabilites of Prometheus, how they respectively became interested in SF, the social uses of SF, and much more. Thanks for everyone who joined in on the hangout and also those who provided questions on Twitter, on #AngryRobotLive.

Well, having read through (most of) the information provided by the links Bren gave in the comments of the last post, we decided to see if we could get some form of financial recompense for our failed washing machine.
I was too busy, so Mrs M got on the phone to the retailer we'd bought the machine from. I'll not name and shame, as I don't feel it was the retailer's fault that it it failed.
The lady at the far end explained that as the warranty had expired, they were not liable.
Then Mrs M mentioned the UK Sale Of Goods Act.
Without hesitation, the lady's tone changed and she explained that a different department would have to deal with our problem. She took our details and promised that we would be phoned back before the weekend.
Of course, no phone call was forthcoming.
And then, this morning, Mrs M got a call saying that by way of compensation, a cheque would be put in the post to us, for roughly half of what we paid for the machine.
So, there you have it. One five-minute phone call, no arguments and some dosh at the end of it.
Thanks Bren!

I realized I had to quit drinking when my local liquor store started giving me t-shirts with Irish whiskey logos. Just celebrated my three year sobriety anniversary.ReplyDelete
Congratulations! Was it challenging?Delete
Some days are more challenging than others. I cannot overstate how supportive my wife and friends are. When I told a friend I had quit, he was very happy for me and said he had been concerned for years. Prayer helps. I think it's important to say thank you daily to whatever is out there, especially if it has been a shit day.Delete
Yes. Appreciation is the best state of mind with which to counteract the crap life sometimes throws at you.
I'm happy your family and friends are there for you. It makes a world of difference.

Of course, when pavco wants to be all green (cheap) and light up the olympic torch with LEDs instead of burning gas, that's a different story. Hmm, maybe we could siphon the fuel tanks of those semis and burn the fuel in the torch.ReplyDelete

Yeah, $200k was the figure I heard. I was surprised it's so much. Still, people were willing to pay for it. Maybe they could modify it so it burned a smaller flame? Oh well, I guess to be the greenest city we'll keep the flame out so we can use the carbon credits to idle more vehicles. 8-|Delete

I bought this Craftsman hydrolic stool for my workbench and I love it. It was easy to assemble, looks good and has a very solid base. Oh and confortable. The hydrolic seat moves up or down for the perfect level for your needs. The back rest is confortable as well when you need to sit back and think a minute. For the price I dont think you can find anything better. If you have an uneven floor it has ajusters on the butom to make it level. It also comes in different colors but black was the one I needed.

Nice addition to the garage. It is very comfortable and feels very sturdy. The only thing is that mine was a bit wobbly in the beginning but that was easily corrected. Great chair, Craftsman logo looks nice.

Very useful seat. Putting it together was rather easy with socket set and basic tools, although small tools are provided. Not super comfortable but it is not meant to feel like a couch. Minimally adjustable back rest. Looking forward to planning many projects using this stool

Got it for my son, and he loves it.

I got it on sale, about half off list, so I'm not returning it. But it still doesn't really feel like it is worth the money. The seat itself seems? smallish. And the backrest also feels small, and doesn't seem very strong. Overall, I'd say it is not worthy of the Craftsman name, and I'd definitely recommend trying it out before you buy it (unlike me).

Biography of Frederick William Gookin family
Chicago banker, calligrapher and designer.
Frederick W. Gookin (1853-1936) was born in Ludlow, Vermont, to Frederick Young Gookin and Elisabeth Patrick Gookin. He had one sister, Mary H. Gookin (1855-1915). The family later relocated to Joliet, Illinois, and then to Chicago in 1872. Frederick W. Gookin went to work as a banker, supporting his parents and sister, while at the same time cultivating an interest in calligraphy, design, and Japanese art. While he remained a banker, he also worked in commercial design, creating advertisements and illustrating publications for a variety of Chicago business and organizations. His interest and expertise in Japanese wood block prints led him to art appraisal and consultant work for collectors interested in Japanese art, which he also promoted through lectures and publications. Around 1903 he left banking to become a freelance art advisor, and was eventually appointed the first curator of the Clarence S. Buckingham Collection of Japanese prints at the Art Institute of Chicago. He was an early member of the Chicago Literary Club, and served as their secretary/treasurer from 1880-1920.
He married Marie Sieboth, of Utica, NY, in 1898. The couple had one daughter, Nathalie Clotilde Gookin, nicknamed "Girlie" (1901-1980).

Gookin to her sister Nathalie Kennedy, describing the family cats, vacations in Colorado, and a trip to Europe in 1914 during the outbreak of World War I.

Gookin's mother, and chronicle her daily activities, including descriptions of the labor required to maintain the household, her health, and also her general attitude and emotional state.

Hindley Green councillor involved in creation of Real Labour party
6:10am Thursday 24th April 2014 in News
AN OUTSPOKEN councillor has joined forces with a former Labour councillor to set up a new political party.
Clr Robert Brierley is named as the nominating officer for Wigan Real Labour – which was registered with the Electoral Commission last week – and the party address is given as his home address, Thomas Street in Hindley Green.
Emma McGurrin, who will be defending her Standish seat in May's local election after she was deselected as Labour's candidate, is listed as the party leader.
Both refused to comment on the creation of Wigan Real Labour.
Leader of Wigan Council Lord Peter Smith said: "This 'new' party contains just two councillors, one who has been kicked out of the Labour Party and the other has already been in four different political groups on the council so this makes it five.
"They have little in common except frequent references to Standards Committee for their behaviour. The name is trying to confuse voters but anyone who examines their track record will see through them for what they really are."
The party lists among its founding principles 'to make real decisions for real people, standing for all young, old and vulnerable and real lives, real people, real Labour'.
