Former Canvey Island striker Lee Boylan joins Heybridge Swifts
1:55pm Sunday 8th June 2014 in Sport
FORMER West Ham and Canvey Island striker Lee Boylan has joined the coaching staff at Heybridge Swifts.
The 33-year-old has also been registered as a player for the Ryman One North side.
Boylan included Maldon & Tiptree among the non-league clubs he played for and it was there that he met current Swifts boss Jody Brown.
"Lee's pedigree as a non-league goal-scorer has been almost untouchable over the years," said Brown.
"His professional upbringing at West Ham makes him a great role model for our younger players."

As many of you may already know, the Greater Cincinnati Minority Counsel Program ("GCMCP") is losing its long time Co-Chair Mark Stall. Mark has accepted a new position as General Counsel of Toyota Industries North America in Indiana and will be focusing all of his time and attention on the challenges of his new position. The good news is that we will be welcoming Dave Horn, General Counsel of AK Steel, as the new GCMCP Co-Chair. So, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Mark for all of his many contributions to GCMCP during his tenure as Co-Chair and to welcome Dave to his new role with GCMCP.
Mark has served on the board of the GCMCP since Xpedx first joined as a member and has served as Co-Chair since 2010. From the beginning, Mark brought a tireless energy to his service on the Board and was never satisfied with the status quo. Mark always looked at the challenges the organization faced with an attitude of what can be done to overcome these issues and what can we do differently to move the organization forward. Mark has helped GCMCP grow through pursuing programming that highlights the outstanding diverse lawyers at member firms, providing interesting and relevant programming, and actively and continuously recruiting new corporate and firm members.
For example, during his service as Co-Chair, Mark has helped revamp the marketing material for the organization, developed an innovative pricing structure for new members, and personally met with a number of representatives of corporations to recruit them as new members. As a result of Mark's efforts, the GCMCP welcomed eight new corporate members during his tenure as Co-chair and an additional two new law firm members.
In addition to revitalizing the organization with new members, Mark has also helped implement several innovative ideas to increase the exposure and interaction between diverse outside counsel and in-house counsel responsible for assigning legal work. Some of these ideas include lunch and breakfast meetings with diverse attorneys at member firms and the in-house legal teams of corporate members. These meetings allowed the in-house and outside counsel to get to know each other and their practice areas in a focused and intimate setting. This is just one example of the type of ideas that Mark has brought forward to help develop relationships that are so important to attaining the mission of the GCMCP - to increase the value, volume, and significance of legal work being handled by diverse attorneys for GCMCP corporate members.
Mark's creativity, tireless energy, and dedication to the GCMCP will be sorely missed. I am sure that I speak for everyone involved in the GCMCP when I say that the organization owes Mark its endless gratitude for his efforts over the last three years. We all wish Mark the best in his new position and hope we can continue to count him as a friend of the GCMCP.
Although we will miss Mark's leadership - when one door closes, another one opens. With Mark's departure, we have the opportunity to welcome Dave Horn as the new GCMCP Co-Chair. Dave is Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary of AK Steel Corporation. He joined AK Steel in 2000. Prior to that, he was a partner in the Cincinnati law firm Frost Brown Todd LLC, where he was a member of the firm's Executive Committee. He holds a Bachelor's degree from Yale University and a Juris Doctorate degree from the Vanderbilt University School of Law, from which he graduated Order of the Coif.
Since AK Steel joined the GCMCP, Dave has shown the kind of top-level leadership that the organization needs to fulfill its mission. In addition to this work with GCMCP, Dave is currently a member of the Board of the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber of Commerce, and the Mercy Health Foundation. He also is a member of the Advisory Board of the Cincinnati Child Health-Law Partnership. He is a past board member of the Volunteer Lawyers for the Poor Foundation, Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, Cincinnati Opera Association, and the University of Cincinnati Center for Information Technology and Law. As you can see, Dave has plenty on his plate and we appreciate his willingness to add the GCMCP Co-Chair position to his many leadership roles.
I want to again thank Mark for his service and I look forward to working with Dave in continuing to move the GCMCP forward in 2014.

The Virgo Symbol
Its meaning and origin
The above image is the established symbol (also called glyph) for the Zodiac sign Virgo, the Maiden (or Virgin). It's an M with what might be the crossed legs of a chaste virgin. Both the Zodiac sign and its symbol have been along for ages.
The Babylonians connected this Zodiac sign and the constellation to farming, calling it "The Furrow," which remains in linking this Zodiac sign to the element earth and the characteristic of productivity from hard labor.
The constellation of Virgo is not that hard to see as a picture of a maiden, if the right stars are connected with lines. There are the arms and a body covered with a gown. Through history, this has been the image related to the constellation. Several of the Zodiac constellations are much more vague in depicting their Zodiac sign. Here's the constellation Virgo:
Below is an antique illustration of the same constellation, where the figure of a winged maiden has been added. It's from a 17th century book: Firmamentum sobiescianum, by Johannes Hevelius, 1690.
Anyway, here's that ink again, this time in the original black and white (click on the image to see a bigger version):
Virgo the SignAs for the picture commonly used to represent the Virgo Zodiac sign, it's been an image of a maiden for as long as that has been its name - surely longer than the symbol described above has existed. Often, the maiden has been equipped with wings, to mark her chastity. Below is one typical example, where the stars of the constellation Virgo have also been marked. It's an illustration from Poeticon astronomicon, a 1482 book by Hyginus.

Terror of jewel-shop woman after raiders put gun to her face
7:00am Thursday 10th May 2012 in Feeds By Steve Wright, Crime Reporter
A woman was left in terror when a sawn off shotgun was pointed in her face during an armed robbery at her jewellery shop, a Court heard.
Asian gold worth £80,000 was taken during the "violent and professional" robbery, Bradford Crown Court was told.
Getaway driver Arman Nazir, 26, who was on licence for his involvement in previous armed raids, was yesterday locked up indefinitely, while Abu Baker Aslam, 24, who provided the stolen car, was jailed for six years.
The court heard that four men, armed with a pickaxe, sledgehammer, and possibly an iron bar, got out of a black Volkswagen Golf, approached the Tayyeba Jewellers, in Little Lane, Girlington, Bradford, and smashed the shop window before entering.
Prosecutor Simon Waley said shop owner Aurang Zeb was out on business, and his wife Nagina was alone in the shop. She activated the alarms, but one man approached her with a gun, pointed it at her face, and said: "Move out of the way or I will shoot you." She could see his finger appeared to be on the trigger.
The men smashed the counter and snatched jewellery, which they put in a bag. As they fled the premises, one man was holding a sawn-off shotgun, which he pointed at members of the public and he shouted at them to back off. They got back in the Golf, which had been stolen four weeks before, and it was driven off.
Nazir, of no fixed address, and Aslam, of Agar Street, Girlington, admitted conspiracy to rob. Nazir pleaded guilty on a basis that he was the driver and did not leave the car. Aslam pleaded guilty on a basis that he provided the vehicle for the robbery.
The court heard Nazir had been sentenced to a total of seven years in 2006 for his part in a robbery and an attempted robbery, committed on consecutive days, during which firearms were used. In the second raid, at City Road post office, a shot was fired at the glass security screen.
Aslam had a number of previous convictions and was on bail at the time.
Simon Bourne-Arton QC, for Nazir, said it was not the most sophisticated robbery and his client was immature and easily led. Aslam's barrister, Anthony Cross QC, said he had played a peripheral role.
Judge Jonathan Rose said it was a well planned and executed robbery, aggravated by the use of a sawn-off shotgun to threaten a vulnerable, lone woman who was terrified.
Sentencing Nazir to Imprisonment for Public Protection, Judge Rose said: "You are a man with a propensity to commit offences in which firearms are carried."
Nazir will have to serve at least five years in prison before he can be considered for parole, but Judge Rose said he would not be released until it was deemed safe to do so.
He told Aslam his role was peripheral but he knew it was to be a robbery with a firearm.

Still working my way through this one, but wanted to let you know that I checked my notes on the game (which apparently are better than anything the AP is tossing out there). I remember that I rewound the hit on Krecji a few times and the last time was to see who hit him. I knew Weiss didn't sound right, because I would have remembered him if it was. I wrote it down as "FLA #85," which would have been Rostislav Olesz.ReplyDelete
Ugly loss today to the Sharks. You know I'm catching some flak out here for that right!? I mean, come on! Did they need to get shutout!?
Here you go guys, found it this morning:ReplyDelete

2013 is gonna be my year!
I know. I say that every year.
But I mean it this time. Real talk.
Dumb Dad gave me a gym membership for Christmas. I am ignoring the catalyst for such a gift and am choosing instead to focus on how awesome it will be to go to the gym a few days a week to take advantage of the included babysitting work on my fitness. I will be bumping that Fergie song everyday when I hit the treadmill. Or the cycles. Or whatever they have in gyms in 2013 (I honestly don't know since I haven't been inside of one since he 90s).
Also, Weight Watchers and I have officially lost 22lbs! And a ridiculous amount of jean sizes…
Stop looking at the cute dog and focus here. See the sticker on my thigh? Size 6 jeans, baby (I started at a 10-12)! And, yes, they're buttoned.
I weigh a toddler less now than I did two months ago and, with my added gym time and the Just Dance 4 I received for Christmas, I fully intend to continue this weight loss trend into 2013.
Originally, I was also planning to make this the year my blog skyrockets to the top. The year I become the next Ms. Scary Pioneer Dooce. Only, I think we all know that ain't gonna happen. Not this year or any other.
My ability to rock the blogosphere with witty posts and whatnot has not flourished the way I imagined it would. Or at all. As a matter of fact, my awesome remains largely undiscovered by the masses and I imagine such will continue into the next calendar year. And beyond.
So I'm focusing on attainable goals:
1. Losing more weight and firming up my wiggly regions to reach my ultimate goal (hotness!) by the time I celebrate my 6th 29th birthday this May. I intend to lose 20 more pounds by then, the majority of which needs to come from my back area. Leave my boobs and booty out of this please, they are fine how they are.
2. Be a better blogger. Just logistically speaking. I can't make you like me.
3. Finally put curtains up to the windows of this house we've lived in for 6 years. And, get rid of "homicide couch" and "matted dog hair rug". And, maybe look into some wall art, custom lighting, and end tables. This is my roundabout way of telling Dumb Dad we are decorating our family room. I've convinced him it's less expensive if we do it piece by piece. I have no tangible proof of this however.
4. Buy life insurance.
Wait? What? Life insurance? What's that got to do with losing weight, decorating my house, and being blog awesome?!
Okay, fine, mostly nothing.
Fixing the blog is a stand alone goal that I've committed myself to every year since this blog's inception 4 years ago. One of these years I am certain it will actually get done.
Getting fit, decorating my house, and buying life insurance, on the other hand, are all part of my master plan to make the year I turn 35 29Again the year I also start being a grown up. I intend to live better, eat healthier, and be on overall better human being. This includes ensuring that, should I meet an untimely demise, Dumb Dad and The Dudes will be taken care of. At least financially (No one can replace me, husband, you hear me?! NO ONE!).
Now, this is probably gonna make me actually sound like a Dumb Mom, but I really never thought I needed life insurance. Being an income-less stay-at-home-mom, I failed to realize how important life insurance would be to my family in the event that I don't, um, live long and prosper.
I realized recently that I was *gasp* wrong. Majorly in fact.
After reading Life Insurance 101 and learning all kinds of info about how it works and why we need it, I realized that stay at home moms do need love and chocolate and back massages life insurance just as much as working moms do.
Think of all of the services we provide our families that they would need to outsource without us around to manage them. You could use a life insurance calculator to figure out your contributions more accurately…
But, I think it's safe to say that it's not likely that they will be able to find a car driving, treat baking, butt wiping, barf cleaning, dinner making, lunch packing, homework checking, boo-boo kissing, fight refereeing, self-esteem building, cuddling, coddling, laundry fairy to rock their worlds the way you do. But, they will need a bunch of money to try.
Plus funeral costs, and time off for healing and counseling, and all of that other morbid-but-true-stuff you need to seriously think about even if you don't want to.
When I sat down and read Life Insurance 101 and then took a second to really think about how amazingly helpful I am the things I contribute to my family, I realized that I sorta owe it to them to make sure they will have the needed fundage to bribe hire someone capable to handle all of those things should I no longer be around to do it.
I used to make my final excuse a cop out about how I can't afford it but, in the end, okay, before the end, when I think about it, life insurance costs lest than all of these pretty things and we all know that at least a couple of them will be calling my house home by the end of 2013…
So, that settles it.
In 2013 I will be slimmer, fitter, happier, and better dressed. I will eat healthy, have a well appointed family room, be only slightly uncomfortable with the fact that I am half way to 40, and be at least somewhat more appreciated by my family due to the fact that I intend to constantly remind them that I need to be. Chances are, my popularity online and in life will not increase (please don't let it decrease), and I will holdfast at being mediocre at blogging. I will also probably have less money. But, dammit, I WILL have life insurance!
What's on your agenda for 2013.

For the record: I disagree with that direction. Trying to integrate SVG and MathML into HTML seems to be inferior to having a generic solution.

Trainer Mat Review
What You Should Know
Click Here To See Our Highest Rated Review
Every dieter wants to afford a personal trainer but not every budget has that kind of extra money. The Trainer Mat takes the place of a personal trainer by displaying exercises on the mat. Dieters simply follow the printed exercises and complete the workout. There are more than 20 exercises printed on each mat. Mats are sold by individual workout. Trainer Mat is available in Yoga, Abs, Pilates, Golf, Back Health, Volleyball, Aquatic Sports, Maternity, Stretching, Kids and Weight Loss. The website also offers Trainer Mat Interactive; an online resource for meal plans, recipes and exercise routines. Tracking weight loss, food intake and fitness are supported when the dieter signs up for the program. There is no price listed for the Interactive community.
List of Ingredients
Mat with printed workout regimes for weight loss and fitness.
Product Features
For a mere $30, the dieter can order a Trainer Mat with at least 20 exercises in the desired area of fitness. Most of the Trainer Mat products are narrowed to a specific exercise like Abs or Yoga. This could mean the dieter would need to purchase more than one Trainer Mat to change up the workout once in a while. The Weight Loss Trainer Mat is a bit different because the exercises are focused on weight loss and cover various parts of the body. The mat includes 10 exercises, but there are three versions of each exercise. The company claims these count as 30 exercises, but that is a stretch of the truth. Mountain Climber, Plank, Push-Up and Squat are included on the mat. There are no actual cardio exercises, though exercises like the Mountain Climber will likely increase heart rate. The Weight Loss Trainer Mat is not appropriate for someone just beginning on a workout program or someone with joint or back problems. The exercises are hard, even in the most basic beginning form.
The Trainer Mats are only six feet long. They will work for someone of average or short stature, but someone taller than six feet will not fit on the mat. This could get a bit uncomfortable if the mat slides during intense exercises.
- Displays workouts on a portable mat.
- Trainer Mat is washable and non-slip.
- Each mat costs $30.
- The weight loss mat displays difficult exercises.
The Trainer Mat is a unique idea, but the price is a bit high. For the ideal workout regime, the dieter would have to buy the Stretch, Weight Loss, Yoga and Abs mat to change up workouts. This would cost more than $120 with shipping and handling. There are no dietary guidelines for weight loss and the weight loss exercises will grow boring in a short time.

I grew up a Phillies fan, but really in name only.
I've always taken the old four-for-four mentality, but I didn't grow up much attuned to sports in general. I spent one year in tee-ball, and made it to about half of the games and practices; real commitment-phile, as you can see. My prevailing memory from that brief stint as a Michael Martinez impersonator (though I think I played left field) was getting a hit (how could you not?) and running the wrong way around the bases. When they called me out (because how could I not be?), I burst into tears because I thought that it meant I was off the team. Not surprisingly, we didn't give it another season.
Despite a brief stint attempting wrestling (I never won a match), I never really tried sports again. I muddled through gym, walked my share of miles, and joined a punk rock band. I rejected sports as the bastion of jocks, and really only dabbled in Eagles football, with shame and aversion. I secretly exulted over 4th and 26 without really understanding how unbelievably unlikely it was. Otherwise, I ridiculed people who cared about sports over politics, or who cared about the Birds over Bush/Gore 2004.
I was insufferable.
Once I got back from studying abroad in 2005, I turned a bit of a corner with the Eagles. Eventually, I started realizing that it was way more fun to watch sports with other people, and it turned out a buddy of mine from the band had a hidden penchant for football himself. We watched with vague irony, crackin' wise and laughing off interest, and then, quickly enough, with rapt attention. While my friends watched Super Bowl XLI for the Prince liveshow alone, we watched that man do unsavory things to a guitar and then sat tight for the rest of the game. I was an over-educated sports fan at last.
But through 2008, it was football only. Don't get me wrong: I knew my allegiances. I cheered with my dad when the Churlish Phillies beat the Braves in the 1993 NLCS. We didn't really watch the World Series; saved myself those memories, for better or for worse. My dad still has a framed newspaper from the day they beat the Bravos, though, and it remains a nice childhood memory. I also sang the "Star Spangled Banner" with my choir at the Vet one summer day. And I was in New York when the Mets collapsed in 2007, living in Brooklyn and going to school at NYU. While Park Slope fell into hysterics over the collapse, I smiled to myself hearing about the Phillies' surge. They were my team, even if I couldn't stand the game itself.
And then, in 2008, I remember hearing that they'd made the playoffs; I saw it on a TV at Susquehanna University, where my wife was doing a job fair for her job. I wondered if they were any good. I was living back in the area, and I'd been following the Eagles rabidly (I'll admit: I read BleedingGreenNation well before TheGoodPhight), but I was pretty curious about this playoff bound Phillies. I had known them as entirely moribund (Mets collapse notwithstanding), and I knew my dad would be excited at least. And at that point, we were in the headiest days of the Ben Franklin curse, so it was exciting as a Philadelphian. I went to watch the game when Dad invited me during the NLCS and...something clicked.
This will sound stupid, but there was something about the way those teams played that made me realize I'd been watching baseball all wrong. I'd been watching it like football, waiting for the big play, and being driven to distraction every pitch it didn't come. I was watching for the long ball. This makes sense given that my only other two baseball-related memories were the Sosa-McGwire home run race and the Pedro Martinez implosion that cost Grady Little his job. I was used to offense. And, yes, the 2008 Phillies had an offense to get excited about, but it wasn't the big hits that caught my imagination: it was the fact that every at bat was a serious affair.
I realized that the crux of the game was the solo battle between hitter and pitcher, each at bat an important miniature event within the game. The guessing game that transpired between a patient, smart hitter and a crafty, talented pitcher.
I was enraptured.
We watched Game 5 of the World Series together: the frustrating Rays (including a just infuriating BJ Upton), the heroic Eric Bruntlett, the excitement of a close game. And I put on the television for the continuation of the game after the rain delay the next day. And my words when Hinske struck out against a still-lights-out-Lidge: "Wow, that's pretty cool."
"That's pretty cool." Not a particularly lasting sentiment. But I got the itch. My fiancee (now-wife) told me she'd probably divorce me if I got into baseball. Unluckily enough for her, I was hooked by Spring Training, I'd found this blog, I was learning about sabermetrics, and in our small Sellersville apartment, I lived and died on every pitch that year.
Most of that is a story for another time -- or maybe never, as I can't imagine you all are too interested in more of my meandering memoirs. It took me a year and a Wet Luzinski contest (which I lost!) for me to finally post on TGP, and a couple of years after that until I was a part of the community enough to have Peter and Joe and Liz invite me to start writing full time. And now baseball is a huge part of my life, my philosophy, and my writing. And I've made all these friends. People even post on my dumb ol' twitter, and me and LTG8 get together weekly to talk Heidegger and advanced stats. It's unbelievable.
My life would be infinitely poorer if not for the 2008 World Series. I know this sounds dramatic, but it's not far from the truth. I'll admit that I wasn't there since the beginning, but I've been a :Philly guy forever. Just now, it's the Phillies over the Eagles, even in the lean years.
Thanks, guys. Happy fifth to the WFCs.

Remember Me
Melanie Bess-Haight is the new administrative assistant for the Contemporary Center in Crystal Falls. She came on board in December and will be helping out as the non-profit organization works to add new programs.CRYSTAL FALLS—The Contemporary Center has a new staff member, Melanie Bess-Haight, who has a focus on improving existing programs and planning new activities.
Since its inception in 1992, the Contemporary Center has sought to provide a venue for various community activities. But being an all-volunteer organization has provided challenges. "We hired Melanie to help us get organized," said Vice President Joyce Ziegler. "Our mission is to provide needed activities for both youths and adults in the community. It's a center for the whole community, and we're hoping Melanie can help us bring things together." Bess-Haight was brought on board as part time administrative assistant in November. Since then, she has helped with the Contemporary Center's core activities: after school programs for children, exercise groups and crafts like the pottery classes. Now she and the group's directors are looking to expand. "I'd like to get more art classes," Bess-Haight said. "Most people seem to view it as a place with programs for kids, but we would like to expand on that." Ziegler and Bess-Haight agree that the facility has an important role in the community. The center may start a youth pottery class this spring, recently started Zumba exercise classes and began a yoga club. The Reboot Your Body boot camp starting Feb. 6 is a 12- week program that offers interval training under certified physical trainer Jessica Jauquet's supervision. Registration is Feb. 6 from 6 to 7 p.m. Classes will be Mondays and Wednesdays from 5 to 6 p.m. and Tuesdays, Thursdays and Friday from 5:30 to 6:30 a.m. The Contemporary Center is located at 200 Superior Ave. in Crystal Falls.

Residents in Goldthwaite will be voting for the second time this year on a bond that could build a new high school. The nearly ten million dollar bond failed to pass in May by just 11 votes.
Goldthwaite ISD board members spent almost two years creating the first proposal, but believe they didn't have enough time to educate people about the purpose of the bond. The bond plan to improve the technology and security features in the new building.
School board members say the proposed $13 million project will be cheaper by building a new facility, rather than renovating the old one. Board members also attributed low interest rates and low construction costs to help make the decision to build easier.
President of the Goldthwaite Education Board, Rich Brown, says he is confident that the proposal will past this time.
"It is the one tax we know where everything goes. It is going right there. You see it everyday. We can serve the kids of Goldthwaite for another 50 to 60 years," Brown said.

BADAK Badak, the first gas field discovered in East Kalimantan, is situated close to the mouth of the Mahakam River. The gas in the Badak Field is held in a series of channel sand reservoirs distributed through a vertical interval of several thousand feet over various areas of the structure. Development required the drilling of many wells to define the volume and hydrocarbon potential of each reservoir. Approximately 200 wells have been drilled in the Badak Field. In exploring its contract area further, VICO discovered the Nilam Field, another multiple reservoir field, just south of Badak.
As the fields mature, reservoir management is becoming more complex. Presently we are facing the challenge of finding gas/oil from smaller sized and lower permeability reservoirs, requiring the application of new technology and programs, such as horizontal drilling. Gas received and blended at Badak is delivered 56 kilometers to the North, across the equator, through large diameter high pressure pipelines, to the Bontang LNG Plant and Kaltim Industrial Estate, which consists of seven domestic fertilizer and petrochemical plants. Oil and condensate are delivered to the Unocal operated Santan Terminal. Badak today is far removed from the isolated stretch of swamp and jungle that greeted VICO's first explorers back in 1969. Both the local population and VICO employees benefit from a modern infrastructure and a host of job opportunities.

A sweet honeyed tobacco, a fruit-laden booze and rich leather open Bois D'Ombrie, initially bringing to mind CB I Hate Perfume's Cumming. After just a few seconds of getting your head around the gloriously rich but subdued opening, a powdery but rooty iris comes forward, it instantly becomes a recognizable Duchaufour creation.
The leather and tobacco retreat in their intensity a little, whilst still adding a hint of smoke. The iris is joined by Bertrand's signature incense, reminding me of both Dzongkha, and Sienne L'Hiver – but with a warmer, spicier colour. The spice – a dash of pepper, and what smells like maybe nutmeg? Smoothing out the composition is myrrh – giving off its usual "breathy", resinous scent and adding a rubbery texture, calming the spices and joining the smooth iris.
The boozy scent of warm raisins trails throughout Bois D'Ombrie, but quiet, and not given a syrupy treatment like a Lutens' creation for example – here it is more translucent, given depth by smoky leather and rich tobacco of the heart. The powdery iris and delicate spice are cut with an earthiness of subtle vetiver, and the fragrance whilst sounding like a complicated bag of textures is executed perfectly smooth and light – smelling like a smoky stain on the skin. The spicy vibe is thankfully not loud at all, and I'm sure I get a little bit of saffron in there as well which I really enjoy.
There's a deep woodsy note and a bunch of patchouli in the base, but the fragrance never lets go of its initial personality of booze and leather. The Duchaufour signature splattered across it start to finish may be too obvious and familiar for some, but Bois D'Ombrie is a perfect partner to Sienne L'Hiver – they evoke similar reactions in me and I thoroughly enjoy them both but wouldn't really want to wear either. Where Sienne L'Hiver is cold and briney (which I prefer), this is warm and slightly nostalgic – easier to wear and more masculine.
I think Bois D'Ombrie is a fantastic, original fragrance – it's handsome and charming but with a slightly melancholy aura throughout, a perfect "mood" for a fragrance – go sniff it!

Town Square
Council Candidates: Will You Keep Foothills Park for Us?
Original post made by Tom on Oct 17, 2007
on Oct 17, 2007 at 4:07 pm
It is naive of Palo Alto residents to think that Foothill Park is being kept exclusively for them. I used to live near the entrance to Foothill Park in Los Altos Hills and we walked into the park and drove into the park all the time. In fact it becomes a game; how easy it is to get into Foothill Park. Also, those living around the park in other neighboring towns can easily get in.
While the gatekeeper is checking the driver's licenses of PA residents on the entrance side, it is very easy to drive in through the exit gate.
When I was up there this Summer I watched as bicyclist came down Page Mill Road and swept into the park through the exit gate, no one stopped them.
Unless you put a 12 foot high chain link fence around the park you will never keep people out.
on Oct 17, 2007 at 5:23 pm
PA Hills was willing to pay some significant money to gain access to FH Park. It didn't happen, becasue of the outcry from PA citizens, who remember the covenant. Dr. Lee sold the property to Palo Alto, with the understanding that it would remain a nature preserve. Other cities were begged to come in on the deal. They refused, even though they understood that they would not be able to use the reserve in the future. Palo Alto stepped up to the plate and hit a home run. It is ours, period.
If the issue is enforcement, then get some of the homeless Downtown Team members to patrol the property.
on Oct 17, 2007 at 5:39 pm
The last thing I want for Foothills Park is to have it populated by boom-box-toting, riotous crowds that plague every other open park in this area. This will happen if we open it up to other communities.
In fact, it IS open, as long as one is accompanied by a Palo Alto citizen whose TAX DOLLARS bobught it, and have maintained it all these years.
It's a NATURE PRESERVE. Let it be.
There are LOTS of other open spaces in this area.
The whole argument about "exclusion" is a red herring, and insulting to all those who brought Foothills Park into existance.

I'm dealin' in Euros – I call that "kiwi guapâ€
Exotic bills for my exotic wheels
Exotic meals – I call that opulence
I'm talkin' Wall Street money you just an occupant
I'm in that 1 percent
Over a hundred grand?
I don't trust a bank either – it's in a rubber band
Somebody bring the rosé to the V-I-P
Somebody tell the DJ play some B-I-G
Cuz that's what I'm feelin' like
We gon' act the fool tonight
We gon' mess around and end up dipping' in the pool tonight
So who go stop us?
The A-Team, B.A. Baracus
She tweetin' a picture to put on Lockerz
So turn around and shake it just like a pair of maracas
[Verse 2]
Oh you a baller, homie – where your 0′s at?
Where your hoes at, where your designer clothes at?
(Show me where they at!)
Where your foreign cars?
You say your time is money, homie – where's your Audemars?

She into money, she ain't into you, she into spendin'
That mean she rollin' wit whoever winnin'
On vacation in winter we rockin' summer linen
In that perfect weather, I'm talking 83
Why they treat me like a boss is 'cause I paid to be
And I made the beat, I'm talkin' A to Z
The fresh prince of New York, she my Jada P
And when we movin' they snapping' pictures like Jay & B
We on the internet hoppin' up out that AMG
And it feel good – that's how I know I made it
Overpaid at the same time as I'm underrated
[Verse 3]
I'm livin' good (good, good, good)
But don't get it confused
As a titan, I had to get used to bein' sued
Don't believe everything you read in the fuckin' news
'Cause these haters'll really prefer to see you lose
They cheerin' but really prefer to see you boo'd
That's why I don't give no comment in these interviews
I'm good – I just handle my business
Credit score is amazin', homie, God as my witness
Yeah – thou shall not test
You a make-believe monster, homie, you Loch Ness
And you missed the damn train, man, you got left
You ain't even in the game screamin' you got next
PLEASE – you got lawyers, homie?
I got lawyers too
I'm on a yacht – I let my lawyers do what lawyers do
And on top of my lawyers, I got a loyal crew
Who roll with hammers and cameras that be recordin' you!
A one and six 0′s says I'm a pro

If you get your water from the City of Toledo, you'll see some changes to your bill in the 2014.
Water rates go up 13.2 % come January 1st.
In April, Toledo City Council approved a series of steady increases for the next five years.
City leaders say the average customer will pay $5.76 more a quarter in 2014. The average customer will now pay $49.35 instead of $43.59 per quarter.
The increase is to help with repairs and upgrades to the city's aging water system. It will help fund $314 million worth of repairs and upgrades to the Collins Park Water Treatment Plant and the City's water distribution system.
According to the city, customers outside Toledo city limits will also help to fund the infrastructure improvements at Collins Park as their rates are governed through long-term contracts which are based on the Toledo water rate and adjust automatically.

The snow and ice are disappearing from Tri-State roads, only to be replaced by another hazard.
"Down on Virginia, the whole street there is just full of potholes and cracks and uprising in the blacktops. These cars, they take a beating. You have got to drive defensively, for other drivers and for potholes that throw your front end out of line. It's dangerous," said Edward Fry, an Evansville driver.
The county says they are also working year-round on potholes when the roads aren't covered with snow and ice. If you see one you'd like addressed, you don't have to wait until the spring.

Vote Alert
NTU urges all Senators to vote "NO" on S. 2204, the so-called "Repeal Big Oil Tax Subsidies Act."
March 26, 2012
By Nan Swift
NTU urges all Senators to vote "NO" on S. 2204, the so-called "Repeal Big Oil Tax Subsidies Act." This bill would single out the energy industry for damaging tax hikes under the false premise of eliminating "subsidies."
S. 2204 would raise taxes by eliminating for oil and gas firms five legitimate parts of tax law that help to offset business expenses. Prominent among them are the Section 199 deduction, which is available to all kinds of domestic manufacturers, and the "dual capacity" tax credit, which prevents energy companies from being double-taxed on their operations abroad. These provisions result in no additional federal spending and efforts to eliminate them are nothing more than punitive, targeted tax hikes on a politically-convenient industry.
Section 199 already creates a separate distinction for energy companies from the rest of the manufacturing sector. Though oil and gas firms rank below average for other manufacturing businesses (with single-digit profit margins), they receive only a 6 percent deduction as opposed to the 9 percent other, more profitable, industries garner. Heaping a $12 billion tax hike on a growing domestic industry risks thousands of jobs while threatening to add to sky-high gas prices. Furthermore, despite being able to utilize the provisions S.2204 seeks to eliminate, this sector still pays average effective tax rates of more than 40 percent. This is simply not the picture of an industry swindling the American public to avoid paying its "fair share."
Also included in S. 2204 are a series of tax credit extensions for renewable and energy efficient products and industries such as certain plug-in electric vehicles and cellulosic biofuel producers. Rather than use the Tax Code to pick winners and losers in the energy marketplace, Congress should focus its efforts on overhauling our laws to ensure equitable treatment across the board on all forms of energy, traditional or alternative.
Roll call votes on S. 2204 will be included in our annual Rating of Congress and a "NO" vote will be considered the pro-taxpayer position.

The New York Giants began the 2010 NFL season one of 32 teams in the playoff chase. As Autumn's colors give way to November's chill, lesser teams have already been eliminated from playoff contention; as we roll into week 10, others are on the postseason knife edge.Not lost on fans and sports media is the records being set, or extended (see Brett Favre), at just little past the season's halfway mark. This is particularly true with New York's Giants. Coaches past and present say that winning in the NFL is hard enough, but winning on the road takes a different type of gusto entirely. And so far, it seems these Giants are content to hack away at long-standing, painful records.
It all began in week 1. The Giants defeated the Panthers in their new stadium's opening game, the first time New York won it's inaugural home game since 1956. 3 weeks later, on the night New York unveiled their first Ring of Honor in the team's 85 year history, the Giants defeated the Chicago Bears. This was the Giants' first victory over the Bears in New York since the Nixon Administration. Then it was on to Houston, when Eli Manning and Co bullied the Texans and won in that city for the first time since 1994.
Week 6 saw the Detroit Lions travel to the Meadowlands where they had beaten the Giants 3 straight times over 16 years. But on that day defensive ends Osi Umenyiora and Justin Tuck made certain there would be no Lions victory this time. It was New York's first victory over the Lions at home since their Super Bowl XXV season. Finally, the Giants' hallmark victory at the halfway point was to defeat the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle for their first win in the Pacific Northwest since 1981. Giants fans are good to remember that Seattle was one of only two blemishes on the Giants 1986 Super Bowl march.
Records, as we know, are factoids thrown around at will to prove a point, or predict a future outcome. They can be misleading. Tom Coughlin's Giants can't be blamed for their inability to win in Houston during the Reeves Era, for example. But the streaks that the Giants have ended so far this season are worth noting, particularly since the records are all at least 16 years old. In some cases, as registered above, the 2010 Giants have done things their organization hasn't achieved in nearly half a century. But if the pitiful victory droughts at Houston and Seattle , as do the droughts at home over the Bears and Lions demonstrate, is that they were streaks that had staying power. Fortunately, now Coughlin's Giants have proven they have staying power. With an ode to the past, and look to the future, by season's end the New York Giants just might be the only team that remains in the championship hunt.

FOOTBALL: Kelvedon fail in final
7:27pm Wednesday 30th April 2014 in Sport
Kelvedon Hatch 1-3 Newbury Forest
KELVEDON Hatch lost out in the Essex Saturday Premier Cup Final as Newbury clinched the silverware for the second time in three years.
Forest secured the cup with two late goals, having initially trailed to Lee Cody's 31st-minute effort.
Skipper Danny Kenny levelled the scores for Forest in first-half stoppage time and a stunning strike from full-back Andrew Lane and another injury time contribution, this time by substitute Freddie Anderson, sealed the success for manager Leo Connolly's side.
He said: "It was a great final. Kelvedon are a good side, and I think they're the best in the competition other than us."

Work Zone Quick Facts
- U.S. work zone fatalities - 900 per year (10-year average)
- Iowa work zone fatalities - 5.8 per year (10-year average, 2001-2011)
- 175 injury crashes occur per year in Iowa work zones
- 325 property damage crashes occur per year in Iowa work zones
- 500 total work zone crashes occur per year in Iowa work zones
- 93% of Iowa work zone crash fatalities are motorists (10 year average)
- 7% of Iowa work zone crash fatalities are DOT or contractor workers (10 year average)
- 75% of Iowa work zone crashes are rear-end crashes
Annual traffic on Iowa highways has increased more than 35 percent during the past 10 years - increased traffic wears out roads faster and makes repairs necessary...and thus, more work zones.
Speeding fines in work zones may be up to $1000. Other fines are doubled. Visit the Iowa DOT work zone fines Web site. A work zone is defined as being from the first sign identifying the zone (typically a "Road Work Ahead" sign) to a sign indicating the end of the work zone (typically an "End Road Work" sign). Work zones may be either stationary or moving, depending on the work being done.

Johann Gottfried Galle, (born June 9, 1812, near Gräfenhainichen, Prussian Saxony—died July 10, 1910, Potsdam, Ger.), German astronomer who on Sept. 23, 1846, was the first to observe the planet Neptune.
Galle joined the staff of the Berlin Observatory, where he served as assistant director under J.F. Encke from 1835 until 1851. He studied the rings of Saturn and suggested a method, later successful, of measuring the scale of the solar system by observing the parallax of asteroids. He looked for Neptune at the request of the French astronomer U.-J.-J. Le Verrier, who had computed the planet's probable position before it was seen. From 1851 until 1897 Galle was director of the Breslau Observatory.

However, with their weathered stars and stripes motifs, the patchwork cream, blue, gingham, and plaid hooded parkas scream vintage Americana. Go forth and shred it in style, Team U.S.A.

FL – The Empty Man Signing
May 29, 2014 by Colin Solan
Filed under Comic Books, Florida, Signing and Appearance Profiles
Artist Vanesa Del Rey appears at Tate's Comics on Saturday, June 14, 2014 from 2pm-4pm to celebrate the release of Boom Studio's new mini-series "The Empty Man" with an in-store signing!
WHY YOU'LL LOVE IT: Cullen Bunn (THE SIXTH GUN, VENOM) and Vanesa R. Del Rey (HIT) are two of the most exciting talents in the industry, and perfectly in sync on this haunting new crime procedural.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT: It's been one year since the first reported case of the Empty Man disease, and no drug has been able to slow its progress. The cause is unknown, and the symptoms include fits of rage, hideous hallucinations, suicidal dementia, followed by death, or a near lifeless, "empty" state of catatonia. As murder cults rise nationwide, the FBI and CDC enter a joint investigation of the Empty Man, hoping to piece together clues to stop the cult and uncover a cure."

George Pérez, Paul Levitz, and Alex Saviuk sign at Tate's Comics on January 21, 2012 from 5-8pm with a Hero Initiative auction following.
Press Release:
The social event of the season will take place January 21, 2012 at Tate's Comics in Lauderhill, FL, in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale area. Tate's famous Bear and Bird Gallery will display 297 vintage DC Comics cover proofs from 1964-1974 that once belonged to legendary DC Editor Julius Schwartz. To kick off the exhibition, Tate's is hosting in-store signing with Paul Levitz, George Pérez, and Alex Saviuk on January 21 as well. In addition, the second leg of Hero Initiative's "Justice League of America 100 Project" auction will take place on the same evening. All proceeds from this big event benefit Hero Initiative, the non-profit organization that helps comic creators in medical and financial need.
"Proof of Heroes" is a gallery exhibition running January 20th thru March 3rd which will feature nearly 300 comic book cover printer's proofs, spanning a decade (1964-1974) of Julius Schwartz' 42 year run as Editor at DC Comics. All the cover proofs in this collection will be available for sale at the price of $100 each, and include a Certificate of Authenticity.
When The Hero Initiative approached Tate's Comics about the idea of showcasing this collection in their upstairs gallery space, Bear and Bird, they jumped at the chance.
"These unique and cool cover proofs are an important part of DC Comics history," said store owner Tate Ottati. "We are thrilled to have the opportunity to offer a great gallery event for our customers, and to also help out The Hero Initiative with their very worthwhile cause."
The "Proof of Heroes" Gallery Show Reception will be held January 21 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., immediately after the signing from 5pm-8 p.m.
During the Proof of Heroes reception, the JLA 100 Project live auction will begin promptly at 6:00 p.m. The Justice League of America 100 Project is an exhibition and auction of original covers created by 100 well-known modern comic book superstars, including Alan Davis, George Pérez, John Romita and Alex Ross. On January 20 and 21, fans will have the opportunity to view this travelling action at Tate's.
"I'm thrilled to be part of such a great project, and also showcased among so many of the greatest artists in the world," said Hero Initiative Chairman George Pérez. "And of course, it's wonderful that sales of the covers will go toward helping many comic creators in need."
This project represents Hero Initiative's first major collaboration with DC Comics. In addition to the on-site auction of one-third of the featured covers, both hardcover and softcover editions of The Justice League of America 100 Project, a book collecting all the covers, will be available for sale.
"We are honored to support such a worthwhile cause and encourage DC Comics fans to participate in these Hero Initiative auctions that offer one-of-a-kind Justice League #50 covers," stated Dan DiDio, co-publisher of DC Entertainment.
If you cannot make this once-in-a-lifetime event and would like to bid on one of these magnificent covers, proxy bidding is available by contacting Joe Davidson at: email@example.com. Deadline for proxy bids is January 10, 2012.

Type of Twin:
Surgical Center:
More Information About Manar Manged:
Craniopagus parasiticus results when one part of a set of conjoined twins fails to develop. As a result, Manar Maged was born with a second head attached at the skull to her own. While the head could blink and smile, it was not capable of independent life. The weight of the appendage would prevent Manar from crawling or sitting upright, prompting surgeons to remove it when she was ten-months-old.
In order to remove the head, which shared a blood vessel with Manar's brain, the surgeons cut off the blood supply to Manar's head. Fortunately, the risky procedure did not caue a fatal surge of blood to her heart. Manar's prognosis is good. Following surgery, she showed no signs of paralysis and could move all of her limbs. Doctors will monitor her recovery for other signs of brain damage.
After the initial surger, Manar developed hydrocephaly, an accumulation of fluid in her brain. A second operation was performed to drain the fluid.
Manar appeared with her mother on the Oprah Show and was featured on television shows such as Channel 4's Bodyshock: Born With Two Heads.
Manar Maged died from a brain infection on March 25, 2006 after being admitted to a hospital in Cairo, Egypt.

Boise State extended is perfect record at home by another game last night against Idaho State. Compared to the past couple games, it wasn't the most exciting or cleanest but join me for a few random thoughts as to why that's ok.
Idaho State came into this game wanting to take one away from Boise State. They've been absolutely crushed in recent years but their key players were playing like they wanted this game bad. Things were a little slow to start for Boise State, clearly a team still recovering from their gritty win over Indiana State Saturday night. "It's difficult on young and inexperienced teams because they don't realize how hard you have to play every night," Boise State coach Leon Rice said of playing many games in a short time period. "If you're on your heels at all, you're in trouble. I think that showed in the first five minutes." These guys had a day to prep for this game and in that light I think they did AMAZING. Here's the game flow for those who weren't able to make it:
While the first half didn't look that great score-wise, Boise State was doing what it needed to do. They shot 48% from the field, 54% from beyond the arc and out rebounded ISU 17-8 in the first. At one point we missed three jumpers but kept getting the boards and got it in on the fourth try. Boise continues to impress under the hoop, currently leading the conference in rebound percentage (58.2%). They also had 6 blocks last night, setting a season high for the team. Drew Wiley and Wes Perryman had 2 swats a piece.
Idaho State had no answers for the three ball. In seasons past teams could eliminate the three ball because we didn't have an inside game, I think we've got that this season. Conference play is going to be really interesting. Drew Wiley hit four of the Broncos' SEVEN first half 3-pointers but wasn't taking all the credit for himself. "I'm playing well right now," Wiley said. "I'm getting good looks because my teammates are getting me open shots. I'm just knocking them down. Everything is kind of flowing." Only a few of these guys knew each other before this season but are playing like they've been playing together for years. Interesting 3-point stat of the night as reported by the Statesman: Boise State made more 3-Point baskets than two pointers.
Idaho State's Chase Grabau led Idaho State with 12 points. As much as I disliked his attitude and slightly dirty play I have to give him credit for fighting the Bengals back within 3 with seven minutes left in the 1st half. A also have to admit I loved the student who kept congratulating him as "Good Charlotte," his mohawk was ridic, worst haircut I've seen since dUI's Ledbetter and I think we all know how we feel about that kid.. Fortunately Chase wasn't that bad. In my game preview I mentioned 7-4 Jakub Kusmieruk, the guy towered above the rest of the Idaho State team. He only ended up laying 6 minutes and wasn't that great. I'm glad we've got a creat coach like Leon Rice. I think there are a lot of coaches in the mid-major scene (btw I'm discussing the face that we're not considered a mid major with ESPN and will do a fanshot on it when I've gotten some more responses) see a 7 footer and offer him a scholly for height. I know we'd all like a 7 footer but I'd rather have productive 6-8 and 6-9 guys like Kenny Buckner and Ryan Watkins than a 7 footer that's only good at stepping on everyone else's feet in the huddle. I failed to realize and mention in my preview that Idaho State has recruited it's own Aussie, Dejan Kostur, who played a few minutes last night.
From Boise, Anthony Drmic was off in the first half (1 for 5 from the field) but got his shot on int he second to cap a seventh straight week putting up double digit points. I really wonder whats going to happen in conference play when teams single him out to keep him in the single digits. We've got a bench full of shooters, it's going to be cool to see. Overall the rest of the team was equally productive.
After this game our RPI drops several spots to #143 but its not done dropping. Upcoming Portland is ranked last in the WCC. LSU and Iowa should give us a bump.
Fan Support:
It was weak, we had 3,337 show up. Sure that's SLIGHTLY more than showed up for Northern Illinois or Drake but it's still pretty terrible.. We can probably chalk it up to a late Monday tipoff but I hope its a little better Wednesday. I think the main core of student supporters are doing a great job, they were pretty creative last night. They mixed up free throw chants and at one point were singing Akon. I also think they were instrumental in helping "t" up Idaho State Head Coach. Unfortunately I can't make this Wednesday's game verse Portland and I'd feel terrible if attendance got even worse... This is probably one of the toughest weeks these guys face, not just because of competition but because they'll be playing 3 games in 4 days and then getting a couple days to prep for a big road trip to Baton Rouge, LA. Hopefully Bronco Nation will get behind them and support this great run, The players are sure trying to get us in it. Jeff Elorriaga mentioned to the press that they keep wanting to win for the home crowd and get us behind them. Hopefully they feel our support and hopefully we'll continue to show it. This is a team that is going to have some great success over the years. Fan support rant over

A hilltop home in a Lake Oswego neighborhood was evacuated Monday evening.
Emergency crews were called to the neighborhood off of Upper Cherry Lane and Bergis Road.
Firefighters said the ground began shifting Monday and there was fear of a hillside collapse. Investigators believe a water main broke on Saturday and has been leaking water ever since.
A neighbor noticed a dark spot in the snow and called authorities.
There were no reports of property damage early Monday evening, but mud had slid to the bottom of the hill.
Initially, crews at the scene thought as many as three homes might have to be evacuated.

3. 5"
45˚ angle
90˚ around
Fig. A: File the notch.
Fig. B: Insert the string ball (with close-up of the
installed string).
Fig. C: Drill holes for the tuner.
Fig. D: Mark the tuner mounting screw hole.
3. Prepare the string anchor.
If you're making a lead guitar, cut the 1" PVC
pipe to 39" using a hacksaw. For the bass guitar,
cut the 1½" PVC pipe to 44". Clamp the string
tightly to the PVC pipe and use it as a guide to
draw a straight line down the pipe. Remove the
string and drill two ¼" holes 2" and 3½" from
the end of the PVC pipe along the line. In the hole
closest to the pipe end, use a small flat file to
carve a ½"-long notch toward the center of the
pipe (Figure A). Test to see that the ball of the
string fits in the hole and is grabbed by the notch
when the string is pulled tight (Figure B).
4. Install the machine tuner.
Drill a ¼" hole 3" from the other end of the PVC
pipe, on the line you drew. While the bit is turning,
slowly tilt the drill toward the center of the pipe
about 45 degrees (Figure C). This will create
a slanted ledge for the string to rest on. Drill a
¼" hole 2" from the end of the pipe, 90 degrees
around from the first hole.
Put the shaft of the machine tuner into
the second hole and mark the location of the
mounting screw (Figure D). Remove the machine
tuner and drill a 5" pilot hole. (Careful: Keep
the bit straight or it will snap). Put the machine
tuner back into the hole and screw it in with the
wood screw that came with the machine tuner.
5. Attach the neck to the body.
Draw a centerline down the back of the body and
drill 4 evenly spaced 1" pilot holes. Countersink
each hole halfway through the wood from the
back with the ¾" wood bore bit.
Lay the PVC pipe on a table, string side down.
Clamp the body on top of the PVC pipe along the
centerline with the ends of the PVC pipe and
body flush. Make sure the machine tuner is away
from the body. Use the 4 pilot holes as a guide
to drill 1" holes through the PVC pipe. From the
back of the body, screw the lag bolts through the
wood and into the PVC pipe with an adjustable
See Figure E on the following page for reference.
6. Install the strap buttons.
Hold the guitar against your body and find
2 comfortable anchor points for the strap. Drill
1" pilot holes and screw in the lag screws, leaving
a ¼" gap between the screw head and the body
for the strap to fit into.
