Windsor - Nov. 1, 2014: The Toronto Maple Leafs won their second game in a row last night in Columbus, and I already know what you're thinking.

Stoney Point - Oct. 18, 2014: Growing up as a Cornwall Royals fan, I remember the intense rivalry they had with the Ottawa 67's. I also remember feeling frustrated at how good Brian Kilrea and his team were on many nights. Last night, Killer was behind the Ottawa bench for another game to celebrate his 80th birthday. A classy move by the Ottawa 67's to say the least. FULL STORY

Selected reviews for this venue:
CalF, 08/09/14
This is my ideal venue, just a nice size to get close to the band and feel part of the event. It has a well-run bar with a good choice of beer and friendly, efficient staff. Its not the poshest of venues but its clean and homely, lets hope it can hold on in these difficult times for live music venues.
The Quireboys (08/09/14) - A fantastic night
No -one could leave a Quireboys gig without a smile on their face;Spike and the boys have so much fun and the crowd does too. Great musicianship from the band and Spikes gravelly vocals make every song enjoyable , be it a real rocker or a moving ballad such as Mother Mary. A band not to be missed!
clecky69, 01/09/14
The Temperance Movement (01/09/14) - AWSOME
my first visit to the Picturedrome - and it will not be my last. What a superb place, good views from everywhere, an open bar, great sound and lighting..........what more could anyone wish for :-)
Julie, 08/07/14
Easy for small people like me to be able to see! Just big enough for a great atmosphere, plenty of vantage points, good sound, good stage height. Bar in the main room, could do with better loos esp for the girls, like most places!
Gary Numan (08/07/14) - exceeded expectations!
Excellent venue, great atmosphere, superb performance, could not believe how good he was. Stunning reworking of some old favourites and I really got into some tracks I did not know. The music is heavier than you might expect but in a good way and the unspoken warmth between performer and crowd is something to behold! One of the best gigs I have ever been to Numan was very cool and gave a totally committed performance. No We Are Glass, boo hoo, but Down In The Park and Are Friends Electric were off the scale

Aug 14, 2012It challenges you, it gives you room to breathe, but also a purpose and of course it´s fun for every minute of it, which is all that counts in the end. You don´t have to invent everything again to get that. Not, if you have mastered the craft like Vigil Games obviously has.
Aug 14, 2012Darksiders II is better than we expected, we just loved it. It offers tons of content to keep us playing for many many hours, and proves that you don't need to reinvent the wheel to create something new and full of personality. As a game it is excellent and generous with the player, so if you liked the first game, then you should now the wait was worth it. If you miss the original Darksiders, please give this a try. To sum up, it's just one of the adventures of the year. A must-have.
Oct 4, 2012Darksiders II is full of enormous environments and dungeons to traverse to and explore, even more fantastical enemies and large-scale bosses to battle, and plenty of challenging hacking, slashing and loot collecting.
Aug 13, 2012The first Darksiders rightly garnered itself a cult following, but it's barely fit to hold a candle to Darksiders II. Bigger, bolder, more creative, more interesting, deeper, smarter, better... Hurl all the positive adjectives and adverbs you want at this action-adventure sequel and they'll stick good and tight. [Oct 2012, p.73]
Aug 20, 2012Darksiders II is a great follow-up aimed mainly at the fans of the first game. Fortunately it can easily appeal to players unfamiliar with War's adventures, players simply looking for a good slasher. The game offers lots of fun, making the player not only show off his/her skills in fighting and jumping, but in logical thinking as well. The game's quality suffers a tiny bit because of its graphics and lack of a really "big" ending. But remember - these small flaws are not enough to discourage anyone. Darksiders II is a great investment that will keep you glued to the screen for a long time.
Aug 14, 2012A smart, original evolution of the previous game's concepts with plenty of new things to see and do, from its new protagonist to its faster combat and engaging loot system.
Aug 20, 2012Though this might seem like a gripe, Darksiders II is not a bad game. Its mechanics are tightly crafted and there are plenty of exciting battles and twisted puzzles to work through. But don't be surprised if everything feels very familiar, and don't feel ashamed if you're inclined to simply turn it off. After all, you've probably played this game a hundred times before.
Score distribution:
Positive: 78 out of 105
Mixed: 9 out of 105
Negative: 18 out of 105
Aug 14, 2012Given how much I loved Darksiders 1, I doubt there's anyway I wouldn't enjoy the sequel. Death seems to be a very interesting character. I've only seen a few trailers and 1 other video (trying to stay away from spoilers), but I'm definitely excited. I wish the bots/idiots would stop making random accounts, making 1 review showing a 0 score with garbled text. I hope THQ get's back on it's feet so there will be a Darksiders III!… Expand
Aug 14, 2012almost 18 hours in now. I can say fully don't even bother reading the IGN review. Audrey Drake is incoherent and completely hypocritical of saying anything about this game when she would rather be playing something on the 3ds. This game is great and so far I have nothing to say but positive things about it. The game is fun, remains fun and the RPG elements are more innovative (even if influenced by diablo) in this type of game than anything Nintendo has done with Zelda in a decade. If you enjoy M rated games that look great and feature a ton of great boss fights along with a loot system and solid crafting system then look no further. If you take two things from this quick review play this game, it is fun and second respect IGN less for allowing someone who plays pokemon still to review this type of game… Expand
Aug 14, 2012L3GENDARY!!!!
exceeds its expectations huge improvement from the first game Death is badass cold arrogant and is a lot more agile than war who was like tank like person steadfast relying more on muscle death on the other hand relies on dodging and then coming in for the kill
combat is awesome and the focus is on rpg a skill tree and the character customization is also there
the story line is epic and we feel immersed in it. the music score in the game is best ive listened to in a game the setting is wonderful courtesy of Joe Mad a must buy game for all action adventure fans… Expand
Nov 11, 2012Darksiders II is the result of a great work of Vigil Games. The game, despite some shortcomings, presents a fantastic visual quality and an excellent plot that entertains the gamer for 25 hours or more.

Oct 31, 2012More Darksiders goodness. While it's very similar in some ways to the first iteration there is enough to make it interesting and a true sequel to a great game. That being said I still found War to be more interesting to play than Death and felt this one to be a smidge more repetitive than the first though I can't think of any solid reason to not rate it an 8 along side it's brother. Two rock solid games for your collection...… Expand
Aug 16, 2012PROS: -loot system is very appreciated and works well -agile platforming akin to prince of persia -art style/environments -combat -fresh new feeling and polish compared to the first game -case is shiny just like the first one -well designed dungeons with a plethora of mechanics and some great bosses -large game with plenty of content CONS: -slight technical hiccups (tearing, fps drops, too frequent loading, blinky shadows, sluggish menu, bugs, etc) -menu keybindings are of questionable design -platforming controls could be smoother -quick view of loot outside menu could be slightly more extensive to show you what you are losing, not just what you're gaining -narrative is a little to distant from its connection with the first game and only slightly advances the lore forward -anti climactic boss and unfulfilling conclusion NOTES: Although having noticeable flaws, overall its a good game that manages to focus all its different elements together into a single identity that is bigger, better, and more varied then its predecessor in almost all areas.… Expand
Jul 16, 2013After the first one i was excited to play the second one. Holy this game sucks. The PC controls are laughable, combat lag, random lag, horrible camera that me over multiple times. The story is total crap "hey go run some errands for me and ill help you" HE IS DEATH NOT AN ERRAND BOY. At least i didnt blow 50$ on it and bought it during the steam summer sale, but jesus christ could you have done any worse THQ? sure as hell wont be buying any more of your games ever again. you failed hardcore, DO NOT buy this game its crap.… Expand

Arizona Cardinals
NFL.com prediction: Ken Whisenhunt out in Arizona
The Arizona Cardinals will wrap up their season Sunday in San Francisco.
Come Monday, Ken Whisenhunt's tenure as the team's head coach may end, too.
Barring an upset against the 49ers the Cardinals will finish the season with a 5-11 record -- their second such mark in the last three seasons -- with many believing the only coach to lead the franchise to the Super Bowl will be out of work.
Included in that group is NFL.com's Adam Schein, who wrote a piece about what is known as "Black Monday".
Whisenhunt is a very good coach. If Arizona had held on to beat Pittsburgh in Super Bowl XLIII, there would be a Ken Whisenhunt statue outside of the Cardinals' stadium. Personally, I wouldn't fire Whisenhunt.
But this season has been an embarrassment. The quarterback situation is between sad and laughable, and Whisenhunt hasn't handled it well. The no-show against the Seattle Seahawks was alarming. They are wasting Larry Fitzgerald and a talented defense.
The educated guess: Whisenhunt is let go, and defensive coordinator Ray Horton takes over as head coach.
The common theme from most "experts" is that Whisenhunt is a good coach who has done a poor job the last few years. His first three years in the desert led to 27 wins and two playoff appearences, while his last three have seen the team win just 18 games. In all, Whisenhunt has a 45-50 mark with the Cardinals.

"Ironically the most major positives about this film are the things that are not in the film:
1) Han Solo was not ruined. Now, Chewbacca was ruined for being pointlessly shoehorned into this movie, but Chewbacca was no Han Solo.
2) No Millenium Falcon... Thankfully, nowhere in this film do we see the Millenium Falcon flyin' around doin' somethin' stupid with, like, it's original owner. No, the Millenium Falcon is safe and secure. It wasn't raped.
3) Almost no Jar-Jar Binks. After three films Lucas finally got it. We only see this loathesome cunt for a brief moment or two.
4) No kids. The first film obviously had a kid; a kid that made you want to sterilize the human race. It also had more kids that fucking talked, too. The second film had even more kids that talked! Finally, the only kid in this film that talks dies. Yah, all o' 'em die. These are positive changes.

No one ever cared about astronauts anyway; back in the 60s, every little boy wanted to grow up to be a landing gear technician!

PINE TOP, Ky (WYMT) - On Memorial Day, we pause to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
For Burl Bowen, who served in the Philippines during World War II, he considers himself one of the lucky ones because he got to come home after the war ended.
"I could have got out of going if I wanted to but I wanted to serve my country. I am glad I did it. If I had it to do over, I would do exactly what I done," said Bowen.
When asked to describe his time overseas, Bowen said it is complicated.
"The feeling you have is hard to explain what it is, how you really felt. You did not want to die," said Bowen.
Bowen said combat is something few people will ever truly understand.
"It had been about two or three days that I had not had any sleep. I laid down and went to sleep right on the ground on the concrete. Them mountains up there are just like the coal fields are here. There is a layer of coal here and a layer higher up. I was up on top of that and the Japanese, I was sleeping right on top of them and did not know it," said Bowen.
He said he saw several comrades lose their lives while in battle.
"I could see our guys getting shot. You prayed that you would survive of course and my prayers was answered it looks like," said Bowen.
Bowen said one of the toughest moments for him came when the war ended.
"Oh lord, it was a terrible thing getting home. I had no idea I was in that kind of condition but I was. I was easily tipped off, dangerous, i guess you could say," said Bowen.
He added the emotional scars took the longest to heal.
"It was a good six months before I got back to loving everybody like I should. I had already made the good Lord a promise that I would get straightened out when I got home if he saved me. Evidently he did," said Bowen.
Bowen was just 23-years-old when he was drafted in World War II. In March, he will celebrate his 95th birthday.

Intel sponsors program to help education young girls
Send this to a friend

Intel Corp. sponsored the "Girl Rising" film premiere on Thursday night, inviting more than 200 community leaders to the Arizona Science Center for the viewing.
The focus of the film was on the importance of educating girls worldwide, featuring nine girls from nine countries whose stories are told by former ABC News journalists of The Documentary Group and Paul G. Allen's Vulcan Productions.
"Intel decided to get involved in the making of "Girl Rising" because we wanted to amplify the guiding message of the film — that when you educate a girl, she truly can change the world," said Rachel Sutherland, spokeswoman for Intel. "Study after study has confirmed that girls' education is one of the most effective investments we can make in the developing world."
The film is a centerpiece of 10x10, a global campaign to educate and empower girls. "Girl Rising" also will be broadcast by CNN Films in early summer. Santa Clara, Calif.-based Intel has a significant presence in Chandler, and has invested more than $300 million to build a research and development facility in that East Valley city that will create nearly 1,000 construction jobs and several hundred new Intel jobs there. Construction is scheduled to be completed later this year.

Sealed Power engine assembly prelubes have been proven effective by more than 30 years of use on the assembly lines of U.S. car, truck, and off-road engine manufacturers. They are formulated especially for prelubrication of camshaft lobes and lifters (mechanical and hydraulic) prior to engine oil circulation. Also recommended for bearings, valve stems, rocker arms, push rod tips, and other metal-to-metal contact areas within the engine. Prelube increases load-carrying capacity of the engine oil during break-in to prevent scuffing and galling. The prelubes have special additives which withstand the extreme pressures exerted on cams and lifters. These easy flowing petroleum based lubes function as oil additives, which will not affect oil viscosity. They also hold fast to surfaces on which they are applied and won't run off like engine oil, even after prolonged storage time.

WESTON RANCH - Sierra's top player, Heather Scharmann, was on a college trip, but that didn't stop the Timberwolves from pounding Weston Ranch 8-0 Wednesday in the two teams' first Valley Oak League game back from spring break.
The East Union sophomore softball team had the bats working overtime Wednesday at Lincoln Park in an 11-1 win over Manteca High.
JACKSON – There were a few big schools, including Galt and Atwater, on hand Saturday at Amador High's varsity-only Amador Relays, but for the most part, the 16-team field was comprised of schools similar to Sierra High in size.
RIPON - Coming off a blowout loss to Modesto Christian Wednesday, Ripon was looking to turn the tables at home Friday afternoon against the Crusaders.
Sierra High met Manteca at the Buffaloes home pool Friday afternoon and the Timberwolves came away with a pair of wins, 116-54, on the girls' side and 87-77 on the boys'.
They're as impressive as athletes as they are students and community members.
Manteca played one of its best games all season Wednesday against the only team to beat Oakdale in Valley Oak League play.
Kourtni McCall helped her own cause with a leadoff homer in the first.
Jenny Ketner tossed a one-hit gem Friday night, striking out 10 as the East Union sophomore softball team waltzed past Central Valley, 12-0, in five.
There was little doubt in the minds of everybody else in attendance at Northgate Softball Complex Wednesday, but Nycole Teeple admittedly had hers.
Both the Manteca and Sierra softball teams looked on top of their games Wednesday at Sierra High where the host Timberwolves prevailed 4-0.
Sierra's defending Valley Oak League champion girls team was coming off a heartbreaking loss to Oakdale. The boys, meanwhile, simply couldn't match the Mustangs' depth and all-around talent.
RIPON – Josh Richter led the way for the Indians Wednesday in a 218-238 loss to Escalon, shooting a 41 at Oakdale Country Club.
The Manteca High sophomore softball team won its fifth straight Valley Oak League contest Wednesday, a 7-4 road win over Sierra.
STOCKTON - The blond streak in Esteban Paramo's hair may have started as a personal statement of style, but it's come to symbolize something much bigger.
Sierra played perfect defense from the second minute to the 78th Monday against visiting East Union.
Brooke Riley shot an even-par 37 to lead East Union's 246-288 win over Manteca at Manteca Park Golf Course. Monday's win moves the Lancers to 5-0 in the Valley Oak League.
RIPON – After an explosive defensive Ripon Christian start left the visiting Orestimba Wildcats wearing roller-skates and its fleet-footed gunslinger struggling to breathe, the Southern League opener at Stouffer Field Friday night looked like an exercise in futility.
LATHROP - When the going got tough, Kristen Maestretti and the Sierra volleyball team got going Thursday in their Valley Oak League match at Lathrop.
East Union proved Thursday night that it can be a threat in the hunt for Sac-Joaquin Section playoff berths, dropping a well-contested four-game loss to visiting Kimball at Dalben Center.
Ripon High's boys water polo team is again short on numbers, and its top player has graduated after leading the program with his scoring prowess in its first four years of existence.
MARIPOSA - At 6-foot-5 with a super-stretch wingspan, Lukas Vermeulen cuts an imposing figure in the goal.
McKenna Doyle set the curve and the Sierra girls golf team followed suit in a 243-395 Valley Oak League victory over Weston Ranch.
Could a changing of the guard be in order in the Southern League?
STOCKTON - After a scoreless first half Weston Ranch hit two goals in a minute early in the second half and went on to a 3-1 Valley Oak League soccer win over visiting Lathrop.
East Union was 40 minutes away from securing a huge Valley Oak League victory on the road Wednesday against Oakdale.
Ripon ended its nonleague schedule strong, as it crushed visiting Tokay of Lodi 25-22, 25-14, 25-15 on Wednesday.
Brooke Riley carded a 1-under 36 on Manteca Park Golf Course's front nine to anchor East Union's tightly-contested 251-256 victory over visiting Kimball on Wednesday.
STOCKTON – One suffered a flat last week, stalling out in Modesto. The other has taken a while to warm up.

You and I
You and I
As unlike eachother as the Sun and moon
Both attracting and repelling
Odd and deformed when together
Perfect when apart
As magnets we are
Bipolar as such
A combination which separates
Deficient without help
So alike are we
When together we fight
Not just us, but all
Yet without you and I
I am nothing

A revision to the standard fireproof garments currently worn by race car drivers and pit crew people that allows the wearer to remove the bottom section of the pants to cool off when not in the car or in an area where protection from possible fire is not required. The top and bottom sections of the pants secure through use of hook and loop fasteners designed to withstand extremely high temperatures. The top section features a stretchy material at the lower end that hugs the leg to prevent any extreme heat from going up the leg opening. The bottom section slides up over the stretchy portion and secures to the top section via the hook and loop fasteners. The bottom section features a cuff or fold that folds over the secured two sections to hide the seam. Also, cooperating snap button elements are located on the top and bottom sections to allow for quick alignment by the user.
1. A garment, comprising:
a pants portion including a pair of top leg sections and a pair of bottom leg sections;
each top leg section having a lowermost edge formed of a band of elastic material adapted to tightly encircle a leg of a user, a first strip of hook or loop fastener disposed above the band, and a first snap fastener disposed above the strip; and
each bottom leg section having an uppermost edge formed of a collar including an outer face and an inner face, a second strip of loop or hook fastener disposed below the inner face of the collar, and a second snap fastener disposed on the inner face of the collar.
2. The garment of claim 1 wherein the pants portion is formed of a fire resistant material.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the field of garments, and more particularly to garments having detachable components.
2. Description of the Related Art
As can be seen by reference to the following U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,473,780; 5,717,999; 5,774,892; 5,802,611; and 5,819,320 the prior art is replete with myriad and diverse garments with detachable components.
While all of the aforementioned prior art constructions are more than adequate for the basic purpose for which they have been specifically designed, they are uniformly deficient with respect to their failure to provide a simple, efficient, practical fireproof garment having detachable components.
Race car drivers and pit crew members lose a large quantity of body fluids during a racing event and intake of liquids does not make up for this loss. It is desirable to take all reasonable steps to assist the drivers and pit crew members in retaining body fluids. Retaining body fluids reduces fatigue and helps the drivers and pit crews remain at a high state of alertness. Keeping cool, reducing body fluid losses, and allowing the body to breath reduces the chance of being affected by heat prostration or heat exhaustion which can debilitate an individual or in extreme cases cause death.
Driving suits and pit crew suits are extremely warm due to the fireproof requirement of the suits and the thickness of the suit. During times when the driver has to wait and is fully outfitted, the driver is very hot and uncomfortable. Normally, the driver or pit crew member can remove the jacket of the outfit if it is a two-piece or he can unzip and pull the top of a one-piece suit down. But the pants have to remain on since the driver or pit crew members are only in underwear or body stocking under the suit.
As a consequence of the foregoing situation, there has existed a need for a new and improved modular fireproof garment suitable for use by race car drivers and the provision of such a construction is a stated objective of the present invention.
Briefly stated, the present invention provides a revision to the standard fireproof garments currently worn by race car drivers and pit crew people that allows the wearer to remove the bottom section of the pants to cool off when not in the car or in an area where protection from possible fire is not required. The top and bottom sections of the pants secure through use of hook and loop fasteners designed to withstand extremely high temperatures. The top section features a stretchy material at the lower end that hugs the leg to prevent any extreme heat from going up the leg opening. The bottom section slides up over the stretchy portion and secures to the top section via the hook and loop fasteners. The bottom section features a cuff or fold that folds over the secured two sections to hide the seam. Also, cooperating snap button elements are located on the top and bottom sections to allow for quick alignment by the user.
These and other attributes of the invention will become more clear upon a thorough study of the following description of the best mode for carrying out the invention, particularly when reviewed in conjunction with the drawings, wherein:
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the fireproof pants of the present invention being worn by a race car driver;
FIG. 2 is an enlarged partial perspective view of the pants with the top and bottom leg sections attached;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged partial perspective view of the pants with the bottom leg sections removed;
FIG. 4 is a sectional view illustrating the attachment of the top and bottom leg sections; and
FIG. 5 is a greatly enlarged partial perspective view with a full line illustration of the top and bottom leg sections detached, and a dashed line illustration of the top and bottom sections attached.
As can be seen by reference to the drawings, and in particulary to FIG. 1, the pants or garment that forms the basis of the present invention is designated generally by reference number (10). Conceptually speaking, the garment is a pair of pants (10) with top leg sections (20) and removable bottom leg sections (30) that are part of a race car driver's driving suit.
The pants (10) come in two pieces; the shorts (12) including the top leg sections (20) and the detachable bottom legs (30). The pants (10) are made from a fireproof fabric such as Nomex�. To prevent the top legs (20) from creeping up, there is a 3" (7.62 cm) high band (22) of elasticized material at the lower edge of each of the top leg sections (20). Attached to the top of this elasticized band (22) is a strip of hook and loop fastener (24). The fastener (24) could, for example, possess fireproof/fire-resistant and flame retardant properties. A snap fastener element (26) is carried on each of the top leg sections (20) above the fastener (24). Attached to the inside of each of the removable bottom leg sections (30) is a mating hook and loop fastener (34). The fastener (34) is located 3" (7.62 cm) below the top edge of the removable bottom leg section (30). The 3" (7.62) cm section above the fastener (34) forms a collar (32) having an inner face (33) which is rolled up onto the top leg section (30) (FIG. 5 dashed lines) to cover the attached hook and loop fasteners (24), (34) to simulate a one-piece leg. A complementary snap fastener element (36) is carried on the inner face (33) of the collar (32). The outer face (31) of the collar (32) folds up when attached to blend in with the outer face (21) of the top leg (20).
Sizes of the pants (10) would conform to regular driving uniform sizes. The outside diameter of the short's elasticized band (22) and the inside diameter of the top 3" (7.62 cm) collar section (32) of the removable bottom legs (30) are a slip fit. The slip fit of the roll up collar (32) maintains the flowing line of the fabric to make it look like a one-piece pair of pants.
The main feature of the pants (10) is the removable legs (30) of pants (10) and the ability of the user to convert the pants (10) into a pair of shorts (12), thus allowing the user to cool down. The suit would be manufactured according to the specifications set by the organization that approves and sanctions this type of body wear for race car drivers and pit crew members. The hook and loop fasteners (24), (34) ensure quick and easy removal and attachment of the bottom leg sections (30). For easy alignment of the two pieces, the top and bottom leg sections (20), (30) are equipped with snap fasteners (26), (36) which are located on the outside of the top leg section (20) and on the inside of the bottom leg collar (32).
The pants (10) would be made from NOMEX� fabric including the elasticized legs (22). The pants (10) could be manufactured by employing standard and special garment sewing and manufacturing techniques as employed by companies specializing in the manufacture of racing suits. The NOMEX� fabric, developed by DuPont for applications requiring dimensional stability and excellent heat resistance, is available in fiber form and sheet form. NOMEX� fabric products are used in protective apparel, hot gas filtration, automotive hoses, electrical insulation, aircraft parts, and sporting goods. NOMEX� fibers do not flow or melt upon heating. Decomposition and charring does not proceed at a significant rate until well over 350� C.--without melting. NOMEX� fabric is both chemically and thermally very stable. General features include heat and flame resistance, high ultraviolet resistance, high chemical resistance, and low thermal shrinkage.
The hook and loop fasteners (34, 34) for the connection of the bottom leg section (30) to the top section (20) can be any one of the following: VELCRO� products: HI-GARDE� brand hook and loop fastener is an all steel, heat and corrosion resistant product that can be used in conditions up to 800 degrees F.; and MID-TEMP� brand hook and loop fastener is a combination of NOMEX� yarn and non corrosive metal usable up to 450 degrees F.; and HI-AIR� brand hook and loop fastener is flame retardant and is specially woven from NOMEX� yarn to meet and exceed FAA requirements.
Alternate embodiments of the present invention include use of NOMEX� self-healing zippers that are blind stitched into the inside of the collar (32) and the outside of the shorts leg section (20). The zippers would ensure a complete seal of the top and bottom leg sections (20, 30), and the entire suite (10) would retain its fireproof capabilities.
Another variation could consider attaching the cuff (32) to the shorts (12) rather than on the removable legs (30). This way, the cuff (32) would protect the joint area and would shed liquids.
Still another variation includes adding VELCRO� tabs to the bottom edge of the bottom leg sections (30) to seal off the pant leg. This will prevent the flow of heat from a fire from going up the pant leg at the extreme bottom.
Consideration could also be given to a variation that has a quilted fire-heat resistant lining.
Finally, another possible variation could be removable jacket sleeves of one-piece suits which would function similar to the pants legs (30).
Although only an exemplary embodiment of the invention has been described in detail above, those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that many modifications are possible without materially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of this invention. Accordingly, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of this invention as defined in the following claims.

How does climate change affect seasonal weather?
Over the past four decades there has been a gradual trend toward higher sea surface temperatures and surface land temperatures across the globe. Increasing greenhouse gas concentrations have resulted in regional temperature biases in the order of +0.8°C (1.4°F) over the UK and Ireland compared to the 1961 - 1990 average temperatures. As temperatures rise further, the climate impacts are likely to become more pronounced across the nation.
Download our UK Temperature Calculator - Calculate Heating Energy Demand for Household or Business (<100 KB .xls file)
The warm bias incorporated into our seasonal weather prediction model has the following impacts:
The inter-annual variability in winter air temperatures over the British Isles are around ±1.5°C (2.7°F) - so the odds of seasonal temperatures being "above average" are now ~34% (one third) greater than during the 1961 - 1990 base period. Evidence from recent studies, published by a attributions group led by Dr James Hansen of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, indicate that the standard deviation (variability) in climate is increasing. Our seasonal forecasts, based on a shifted Gaussian distribution, indicate that in our current climate 1 in every 3 seasons are below the long term average temperature - a value that is expected to decrease to 1 in every 8 by the year 2050.
Rainfall intensity is now 6 to 7% greater. With a fixed relative humidity, a warmer atmosphere can hold more water vapour, so there is a greater potential for heavier rainfall events than in the past or when the seasonal prediction indicates average or below average UK temperatures.
Flooding due to sporadic rainfall events (thundery showers) are now much more frequent and extremes of wet and dry weather are now more common - an impact that can either be dampened or amplified on a regional scale by a strong blocking pattern in the upper atmosphere. Examples of extreme weather patterns induced by strong jet stream deflections include the droughts in Russia and flooding in Pakistan during summer 2010.
The number of rainfall days has remained largely constant, however there is a steady trend of wetter summers in the north and hotter and drier summer in the south of the British Isles. This is due to a gradual northward shift of the polar jet stream and sub-tropical highs as the world warms. As a long term average, there is generally the same cloud fraction as in the past. Clouds are located at higher altitudes and are more likely to carry a tiny bit more water or ice particles that can fall as precipitation.
Heat waves are between 5 and 30% more frequent during the summer seasons. The higher temperatures dramatically increase the average cost of air conditioning bills by 40 to 60% for home and business*.
The number of days of snowfall in the UK have decreased by 15 to 25%.
The energy demand for household heating in spring has decreased by 10 to 20%*.
*These figures assume that customer behaviour in energy usage and energy efficiency has remained unchanged. In general there has been a steady trend toward a higher temperature comfort zone, which has been offset by improved household loft and roof insulation and through the increased use of double glazing. Air conditioning is now used in households much more frequently and is also considered a desired component of the work place'.

Beautiful Inn with lovely rooms. Breakfast was lush and the staff are both friendly and very helpful. Wished we'd stayed in Kanab and ditched Page off the itinerary.

Different kinds of sand
Up the road from Page, about 70 miles, is Kanab. A Wild West town in the centre of lots of national parks. Kanab's claim to fame lies in about 100 Western movies that have been filmed here. It trades on this with saloon bars and wild western diners. We arrived here Sunday morning to a closed front desk at Canyons Lodge, so we thought we'd kill time …
Ahhh, the Wonders we have seen...
... the status of the sites leaves something to be desired. It's a camper tradition to leave a site better than when you arrive. We did that in no time at all.
After a bit of relaxation and reading, Lynn began to prepare dinner. We had shrimp marinated in rosemary, garlic and olive oil and salt. I cooked them on the Weber. We also had long-grained brown rice and a tossed green salad. It worked! I'm not hungry for the moment.

Big Buck's will have just three rivals as he seeks to win the Sportingbet Long Distance Hurdle for the fourth year running at Newbury on Saturday.
Paul Nicholls's brilliant stayer is unbeaten in 17 races since he returned to hurdles after unseating Sam Thomas in the Hennessy at the Berkshire track in 2008.
Big Buck's stablemate Five Dream, who took the runner-up spot 12 months ago, tries again, while the Emma Lavelle-trained Fox Appeal and Reve De Sivola from Nick Williams' stable are the only other ones taking on the champion staying hurdler.
Andy Stewart, owner of Big Buck's, cannot wait to see his superstar back in action.
"We're looking forward to it. Ruby (Walsh) tells me he's never been better and Paul (Nicholls) tells me he's never been better, so there'll be no excuses," he said.
"The ground will be heavy and horrible after a couple of nights of frost, but we'll have to live with that. I don't know if there'll be much pace on, either, but I'd imagine Five Dream might go a good pace for the first two miles.
"As long as he doesn't fluff his lines on Saturday he'll be going back to Ascot for the Long Walk."
Reve De Sivola has been sidelined by injury since finishing third to The Minack over fences at Ascot last December.
"He's come back from a leg injury. We hope he's recovered well. We'd have the injury monitored closely with the vet and he's ready to go," owner Paul Duffy said of the Nick Williams-trained seven-year-old.
"We thought this would give him an introduction back. He'll be trying, but obviously there is one horse in there (Big Buck's) and then the rest. Realistically, if he runs into a place we'll be very happy."

Lyndhurst is often thought of as the Capital of the New Forest - it enjoys a broadly central location, is surrounded by relatively fertile land, and stands at a junction of historic routes.
Lyndhurst had its own Royal manor house, and was - and still is - home of the Verderers' Hall, the meeting place of the ancient Verderers' Court whose history stretches back to at least the 13th century.
Lyndhurst race ground was, until the late-19th century, a popular attraction; and Lyndhurst used to be the home of the New Forest pony sales.
Lyndhurst: Capital of the New Forest? Absolutely!
Lyndhurst: the name in its earlier form, Lindhyrst, dates back to at least Anglo-Saxon times, and means 'lime wood', although Lyndhurst now, in common with much of Britain, has few lime trees.
Lyndhurst was well-described in the mid-19th century by John Wise, who remarked: 'The people of Lyndhurst ought, I always think, to be the happiest and most contented in England, for they possess a wider park and nobler trees than even Royalty. You cannot leave the place in any direction without going through the Forest.
And today, John Wise's comments still apply - woodlands lap against the outskirts of Lyndhurst, inviting exploration by walkers and cyclists along many miles of gravel tracks and countless lesser used paths.
But the area around Lyndhurst comprises heathlands, too, heathlands that in spring are yellow with gorse, and in summer richly purple with heather blooms. These are places that hold abundant wildlife, including many species that are not often encountered elsewhere.
Lyndhurst is a great place for families to enjoy fresh air and wide, open spaces, for around Bolton's Bench, within walking distance of Lyndhurst village centre, are extensive grasslands with turf kept short by commoners' stock - the ponies, donkeys and cattle that can be seen throughout the area.
Here, there is ample room to play football, cricket and other ball games; to fly kites, watch the cricket or just relax with book or newspaper.
As befits the Capital of the New Forest, the local Forestry Commission headquarters are located in Lyndhurst - in Queen's House, at the very top of Lyndhurst High Street; whilst close by is Lyndhurst's splendidly Gothic, Victorian parish church of St. Michael and All Angels with its impressive 49 metre (160 foot) spire.
Lyndhurst also hosts the New Forest Centre. Situated in Lyndhurst's main car park, it is a purpose-built red brick building housing the New Forest Museum, Gift Shop, Reference Library and New Forest Tourist Information Office.
Opened in 1988 by the Duke of Edinburgh, the museum has displays illustrative of New Forest life in days gone-by, and is a 'must-visit' for anybody with an interest in the New Forest and its history. The Christopher Tower New Forest Reference Library on the upper floor also has a wide range of local interest books and other documents.
At the opposite end of Lyndhurst car park, Lyndhurst Community Centre offers refreshments on Saturday mornings, and is the year-round venue for a wide range of events and activities - antique auctions, craft and gift fairs, book fairs, farmers' markets and more.
Lyndhurst today is well-served by shops, tea rooms, pubs and restaurants. There are six pubs, for example, all of which serve food; whilst the nearby hamlets of Bank, Emery Down and Swan Green boast another three pubs that also have well-respected kitchens.
Those seeking out a restaurant in which to eat will not be disappointed, either - Lyndhurst has Italian, Indian and Chinese restaurants, and others associated with the local hotels - a veritable gourmet's delight.
And those wanting accommodation in Lyndhurst can choose from a number of hotels, guesthouses, and bed and breakfast establishments; whilst nearby Pondhead Farm offers its own camping facilities.Quick links

Village of the Year Results
Lyndhurst is proud to be able to announce that it came 'runner-up' in the Fullers' Hampshire and Isle of Wight Village of the Year competition 2014. This was an excellent result, considering the number of villages that originally entered, and Lyndhurst was only just pipped to the post by Bembridge.
Thanks need to go to all who actively took part in representing the village to the adjudicators, including the parish council, the community centre and many local charities, societies and clubs.
The village also picked up a Hampshire and Isle of Wight Community Federation (HIWCF) award for 'Community Cohesion and Resilience'.
And finally, the community centre manager, John Charlesworth, picked up an award for being 'an Inspirational Individual'.
All three certificates are proudly on show in reception at the Community Centre for all to see. Well done Lyndhurst!
Good News for the Cricket Club
Lyndhurst and Ashurst Cricket Club have just completed their 2014 season. This year saw the club return to the Hampshire Cricket League for the first time in 10 years. The team managed to win their league at the first attempt.
It was much the same story with the Taurus Border evening league team who also gained promotion. A colt's team also played matches at Bolton's Bench for the first time for many years. The club entered an under-9 side who performed extremely well. Sunday morning coaching has seen 20-30 youngsters turn up regularly for training.
The club played a full season of Sunday friendly matches and has recently been awarded £10,000 from the Big Lottery Fund to replace the thatch on the pavilion. Further fundraising to cover the full costs is on-going but donations are always welcome.
Lyndhurst and Ashurst Cricket Club would welcome sponsors, volunteers, players and social members, for further information please refer to the club website or contact Angela Tuck on 023 8078 3832.

"I'm partnering with Nassau County Executive Mangano to bring the Department of Assessment office operations to the Uniondale Public Library (400 Uniondale Ave., Uniondale) on Friday, Aug. 8, from 1 to 3 p.m.," said Senator Kemp Hannon.
Daniel Gale Sotheby's International Realty, one of the nation's leading realtors, recently acquired Taylor Warner Realty, Garden City's oldest independent realty company.
Daniel Gale Sotheby's acquisition of Taylor Warner mirrors the strategy it has used successfully in Garden City and other key markets on Long Island—growing primarily through the addition of highly respected and knowledgeable local experts.
With just under six months until Election Day on Nov. 9, a Democratic challenger has announced his bid for the New York State Senate's sixth district seat—covering Garden City, Farmingdale, East Meadow, Levittown, Hicksville, Bethpage, and Island Trees—currently occupied by state Sen. Kemp Hannon.
Ethan Irwin, an attorney from Levittown, has already received the endorsement of Nassau County Democratic Committee Chairman Jay Jacobs. On June 30, Irwin officially opened his campaign headquarters at Kennedy Memorial Park in the Village of Hempstead.
The Village of Garden City is currently hosting a pilot internship program this summer for four Adelphi University students. The eight-to-10-week test run is also the first time the school has partnered with a municipality, according to its Center for Career Services.
Planning started in May when Mayor John Watras approached Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi about the possibility of hiring interns during July and August. Suozzi, who said he had student interns at his last job, said the program helps provide college students with experience in exchange for a new perspective for village officials.
Ozzie is a playful pup looking for a new friend to match his exuberance. He has begun basic obedience training at the shelter and so far has proven to be an "A" student. Ozzie is friendly and gets along well with other dogs. He needs an experienced companion dedicated to continuing his training.
Calling all park rats, You are cordially invited to a Tullamore Park Old Timers' Day Reunion that will be held on Saturday, Sept. 6 to honor George Roth and Richie Anderson for their years of service to the Garden City Recreation Department.
For all of you who have memories of spending most of your youth playing at the park, it's a chance rekindle old friendships and play a game of softball or kickball and remember all the good times you had at your second home. There will be a $30 fee for all those who plan on attending (children are free) that includes a spot on the team, a T-shirt, and food at Doc O'Grady's immediately following the games. All proceeds collected will be directed by the Friends of Garden City Arts, Parks and Recreation for general park improvements.
Stewart Manor residents had beautification on the brain at the village's most recent board of trustees meeting. Several attendees participated in a friendly airing of grievances to the board about the amount of litter being left in front of some of the shops along Covert Ave and in the parking lots.
Former Village Beautification Committee Chairman Julian Sottovia says that enough is enough, and further steps need to be taken.
On Saturday, July 26, all roads lead to Lutheran Church of the Resurrection and the magical merry world of trains at the 4th Annual Christmas In July Fundraiser. Festooned with glittering lights, the gym will be transformed into a winter wonderland of delight as you enter a snow-flurry world of inflatable Santas, reindeer, snowmen and mysterious nutcrackers—replete with holiday songs and music.
Rediscover the joy of childhood with a dazzling display of classic model trains from Resurrection's own collectors and hobbyists: Jay Campson, Doug Hoffmann, Doug Kurz, Joe Mecchella, John and Jim Mesloh, Ken Meyn, and Gerhardt Muller.
The ballroom of the Garden City Country Club was packed with Rotarians, family, friends and associates of Suzie and Robert (Rob) Alvey as they were recently honored with the Mineola-Garden City Rotary Club's 24th annual "Community Service Award." Both residents who were raised in Garden City, the Alveys have been recognized many times over as integral members of the community. Suzie Alvey is a professional artist, writer, award-winning photographer, and board member of the Garden City Historical Society. She was appointed village historian by Mayor John Watras in 2013. Alvey's paintings and drawings are in private collections throughout the United States and internationally and can be locally viewed at village hall and at the Garden City Chamber of Commerce Toll Lodge.
The Garden City Chamber of Commerce and the Albanese Organization, Inc. cordially invite members of both the Garden City business and residential communities to attend a special reception to welcome Ralph V. Suozzi, Garden City's new village administrator. The reception will be held on Tuesday evening, July 22 at the Revel Restaurant and Bar, 825 Franklin Ave., from 6 to 8 p.m.
Ralph Suozzi began his new role as village administrator this past March 31 after having served several terms as mayor of Glen Cove. He has been acknowledged for his experience in all the various facets of municipal governmental operations. Suozzi has noted that Garden City and Glen Cove are similar in size in terms of populations and geographic areas. "Garden City has a 'robust' business district and proximity to a lot of good dynamics that favor Garden City."
