Tried to play this course yesterday and got kicked off!
Nice looking course, very woodsy.

The work and craftsmanship of the home made baskets makes stopping by while in town a must. The course is short and tight and has two pins on each hole so you can play the nine twice. Very relaxed and fun place to play.

The National Public Safety Broadband Network: A Federal Program Deserving State Attention
By Jim McPherson, NAAG Executive Director
For years, the first responder community has dreamed of a network, whether it is countywide, statewide, or nationwide, that could deliver public safety and emergency voice and data services as fast and efficiently as the latest "smart phone." That dream began to take shape when Congress passed and the president signed into law in February the "Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012" [P.L. #112-96]. Part of the Act provides for a nationwide public safety broadband network (NPSBN) managed by an independent agency called "First Responder Network Authority," also known as FirstNet, and the potential for $7 billion in federal funding. But as with many federal programs which contain language requiring a newly-created federal agency to consult and coordinate with state and local authorities, there is potential here for both tremendous benefit and significant costs to states. The following article is a quick outline of FirstNet intended to simply highlight some early challenges for attorneys general offices to consider.
The initial challenge for FirstNet is its organization and structure. FirstNet is tasked by the Act to establish and operate the NPSBN through a board of directors in consultation and partnership with state and local public safety authorities. The FirstNet board was named in August 2012 and surprisingly does not include any current state officials. There are representatives from local law enforcement associations, a former state chief information officer, and a mayor but no representatives of governors, attorneys general, or statewide public safety officials.
Another challenge is funding. Although the Act language includes $7 billion in funding, initially only $2 billion is available to establish the network, far less than what will be required. The additional $5 billion is to come from the proceeds of a voluntary incentive auction slated for 2014. Such a mechanism is novel and no one is certain of the outcome or timetable for this auction. Many have argued that the $7 billion price tag is woefully inadequate, and the potential exists for states to be left with substantial costs.
In addition to those considerations, there is a parallel universe in play here and no one is quite certain how the two will connect. During previous discussions about the Act and prior to its passage, several states wanted to proceed with developing state broadband networks which would interconnect with NPSBN when it came online. The Federal Communications Commission granted waivers and made grants to some states totaling $382 million to develop statewide networks. However, there is concern that these networks will not be compatible with NPSBN when it is finally developed.
Finally is the question of timing. Conservative estimates are that the planning and proposal period could last well into 2016 or beyond. If correct, NPSBN will not be completed for over a decade. That long period will add even more challenges to the interoperability issues.
So what does all this mean for attorneys general? First, if you count the governor or legislature as a client, questions concerning NPSBN will start coming your way. For those who have public safety organizations responsible to your Attorney General's Office, you are directly involved in this program. And finally, there is significant money in play for public-private partnerships between states and telecommunications firms to build-out the NPSBN in the states. Representatives for those firms will soon be knocking on doors of attorneys general offices.
An excellent source for more information can be found at the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, a not-for-profit, non-partisan, policy research institute which has published a thorough report on the Act and all its intricacies. That report can be found at http://www.potomacinstitute.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1294:new-report-qwhat-should-firstnet-do-firstq&catid=42:studies.

It was unanimous on ''Big Brother'' this week
Schizophrenia alert!!! We all knew Dana was a little off her rocker. The Man Troll has seemed a little unstable since… well, since she stepped into the house, but we really saw her crazy side this week. Or should I say crazy SIDES.
Side one: ''I'm Dana, I take the high road,'' she said to Robert during the veto ceremony, explaining why she didn't think he should use the veto. Side Two: Cut to three seconds later and Dana is in the diary room talking about how Robert SHOULD do the honorable thing and use it to save her.
Side one; After telling everyone ''I'm Dana. I take the high road'' (possibly the funniest line in ''Big Brother'' history) she went on to promise ''I won't campaign against Jun.'' Side two: Cut to Dana telling the camera ''I'm not going out without a fight,'' and them proceeding to campaign against Jun.
This woman is truly cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs. And this woman is truly gone, voted out 6-0. It's too bad, really. While you'd never want to see this emotional wreck walk away with the $500,000, her mini-meltdowns and shifting allegiances certainly made things interesting. Speaking of interesting, Alison has become a very pivotal player in this game.
Although at first she could be discounted as a mere Jacuzzi floozy, she used her time as HOH pretty boldly. By striking a secret deal with the Three Stooges (Justin, Robert, and Jee), Alison probably insured her safety for the next week even tough her ex Justin is the new Head of Household.
But what if the Alliance gets wind of her defection? That could put her in the same position as Dana -- no man's land (or no woman's land, if you want to get technical). The Alliance could turn on her and she's unlikely to break up the Stooges. Still, she'd probably be on the block this week had she not been cutting deals. And now her main man Nathan looks the most vulnerable.
Tough week for that guy. First he has to deal with everyone accusing him of being gay (a rumor started by Alison of all people), and now he could be looking at a face to face with Julie Chen sooner than he thought. And who knows, maybe she'll actually get his name right this time.

New Gun Laws Could Lead To Big Names Leaving
By Harold Hutchison
Some of the country's most famous gun makers – Colt, Ruger, and Mossberg – are based in the state of Connecticut. However, if Gov. Dan Malloy gets his way, those companies may be leaving the Nutmeg State, taking jobs and $1.7 billion in revenue with them.
The National Shooting Sports Foundation, which is also based in Connecticut, raised those concerns as officials from states like Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, and Mississippi approached gun companies in states that are considering gun bans.
"In our state, you will not be criticized for providing good [sic] to the law abiding citizens who enjoy hunting, shooting or who just want the peace of mind that comes with the constitutional right to protect their families," Mississippi House Speaker Philip Gunn wrote to a number of gun makers.
In Maryland, Beretta has threatened to pull out if radical new legislation is passed. In Colorado, Magpul, which makes after-market magazines for the AR-15, among other products, has also threatened to leave the state if new gun laws are passed.

Usually, work is relatively simple for a translator: you get a document from a client, you translate it and you deliver. That's it.
However, sometimes your project can be a very lengthy and/or complicated one, consisting of many steps or parts. Then it is extremely importance to keep track of what you are doing. That can best be done with a good overview of the entire project.
On top of that you need to inform your client regularly of the project status.
Sure, you can use a mind map, Microsoft Project or another track/project tool. But sending status reports to your client remains a lot of extra work. So, why not combine both?
That is where Brevado comes in. Brevado is a free (for now at least) web service where you create your project overview online and share it with your client.
Brevado keeps your clients in the loop from start to finish with beautiful project timelines designed for them. Put an end to the countless hours spent on the phone and writing emails by offering clients a non-invasive way of checking their project status. You can focus on the task at hand and not on going over the things that already got done.
Users can layout their process in milestones and steps. As tasks are completed, clients and team members will receive automatic progress updates, ensuring they are never left in the dark.
Brevado is simple, intuitive and visual. Most importantly, it is made for your clients to understand. No need for tutorial videos or hours of training just to check in.
So if you have a long and complicated project, you may want to try out Brevado.
* I am in no way associated with Brevado and do not gain any benefits by publishing an article on their software.

The '70s Photos That Made Us Want to Save Earth
Two years after Richard Nixon created the Environmental Protection Agency, the new institution sent out 100 photographers to document the nation's environment writ large.
Now, those photos have made it out of the root cellar of the National Archive and onto Flickr Commons, where they are getting a wider viewing than they've ever received. The first group of what will become a 15,000-photo set from the Documerica project are now available online to the public.

Field Notes: Community-Supported Fisheries - Why They Matter
by Rob Snyder
I just attended the Midcoast Fishermen's Association's (MFA) fish bake on August 22. If you missed it, don't let it happen again! Community members new, old and even a few young, piled into the town office down the St. George peninsula for a meal of steamed potatoes, breaded hake with Newberg sauce, salad, biscuits and enough desert to hold us diners over until spring. All of it, served up by fishing families that are working to change the trajectory of an industry.
Perhaps more than anything else, the fishing families in Port Clyde became well known because they launched the nation's first community-supported fishing (CSF) operation, selling shares of their fish to consumers ahead of the fishing season based on the community-supported agriculture model. Most of the major newspapers in the United States caught wind of the CSF idea being jumped into action. In fact, there has been little need to spend any money on advertising for the past two years because this idea captured the national imagination.
Why is the community-supported fisheries idea so important?
For the past 34 years-the entirety of the history of fisheries management-there has been one dominant framework for thinking about the ocean. Let's call it the fish/fishermen relationship. Problems with how the ocean is managed? Manage fishermen's behavior better or count fish better. For three and a half decades, rules have been devised that restrict the time fishing (days at sea), the pounds of fish that can be caught (quota management), the social institutions that shape behavior (sectors), and the gear that can be used. All of this focused on fishermen's behavior. All the while, stock assessment science has been through its own evolution that improves our ability to estimate the number of fish in the sea.
Logical? Yes. But it has had another consequence that has been tragic.
If the only discussion that can exist about fishermen and fish involves a management relationship, then there is almost no opportunity to talk about fishermen as a source of local food, as contributors to healthy diets, finding solutions to hunger, and as part of a community economy. Instead, the only discussion to be had is around how exploiters must be managed and fish must be counted more accurately.
The brilliance of the community-supported fisheries concept is that it takes all that has been deemed external to the fish/fishermen relationship and brings these factors into discussions about the ocean. In other words, CSFs enable entirely new dialogues about fish and fishermen that have not existed for decades. Health, community, conservation, the benefits of local foods, etc. become a part of discussions about the importance of healthy ocean resources.
More than dialogue, CSFs have created the possibility for being a different kind of fisherman in Port Clyde-one that experiments with cleaner gear, donates fish to community dinners, makes food available to food banks, hires neighbors to work delivering fish directly to customers, and much more. Furthermore, the CSF model has become a source of optimism for fishermen and thoughtful consumers around the country. In turn, the publicity and impact of the CSF model came full circle and impacted fisheries management in late 2009 when one of the fishermen in the Port Clyde community was appointed to the New England Fisheries Management Council.
On my way to the hake bake, I visited friends down the St. George peninsula. Unsolicited, they began to talk about all the fish they had been eating over the summer as a result of their CSF share. Three years ago they did not know who caught their fish. Today, they know a tremendous amount about fishermen, fish, local food, commercial fishing infrastructure, how to clean a fish and use a fish rack for soup stock, and they even ask on occasion about fisheries management.
Ultimately, CSF customers want to know if the fishermen in their community are going to survive. They, and hundreds of other CSF shareholders care, and this is perhaps the greatest achievement of all.
I would like to acknowledge discussions with Kevin St. Martin at Rutgers University for his contribution to ideas presented in this column.

All pets, whether they are kept indoors or outside, should be in good health, show no evidence of disease, and be friendly toward children. The following suggestions benefit your pets and may also help protect young children from both illness and injury:
If you have a dog, train and prepare it for contact with children. Many dogs will try to dominate children because of their small size. Also, some children aren't well-behaved around animals. These things put children at risk for injury. To help prevent such problems with dogs and other pets, you can:1
Be especially careful when bringing a newborn home where a pet has enjoyed "only-child" status. Animals can become jealous, aggressive, and defensive about trying to protect their place in the family. Also, newborns don't act, smell, or sound human, which may confuse pets. The weak, high-pitched cry of newborns may also sound like prey to animals. Even a very loving, well-behaved pet can quickly transform into predator mode with a newborn.
Try the following to prepare your pet for sharing its home with an infant:1
Children will likely encounter pets whether or not they have them in their own home. Teach your children how to approach animals, and set rules. For example:2, 3
Also, teach children how to react if they are confronted with an aggressive pet. The following apply specifically to dogs, but some concepts can apply to other household pets:

It comes down to a simple question...how would you react if someone was trying to enter your home uninvited...and possibly not with the best of intentions?
It all goes back to a saying which came about centuries ago.
"The Castle Doctrine came from English law, based on the saying, 'a man's home is his castle'," says local attorney Bill Richardson. "What is contained in your home is your family, your most precious asset as a human."

SEAT Ibiza: The Unsung Hero
Prominence of green cars
Ever since the Toyota Prius made everyone that little bit more aware of "green" cars and hybrids a lot of drivers now care more about the mpg (miles per gallon) than they do the litres, valves and all the rest of it with the emphasis going from how fast you can go to how long you can go without filling up.
There are some major benefits of having an economical car, mainly financially. Your fuel consumption will go down and therefore less trips to the petrol stations (whose prices are going up!), you can avoid the congestion charge if you live in London and some cars if they have below 100g/km emissions are road tax exempt.
With the U.K being in a recession cutting costs stopped being a hob
by and started becoming a necessity for a most of the people in the country and with this the search for a good economical car become more and more serious.
The Seat Ibiza 1.2 TDI
As the title suggests we're here to discuss the Seat Ibiza 1.2 TDI CR Ecomotive to be precise. To me, the new Ibiza is a genuinely good looking car, sensational as Seat would like you to feel. It has become a lot more modern and mature looking than the previous facelift and does stand out in traffic with its body lines and sharp points, on the inside the cabin has more than enough gadgets and gizmos for a modern driver and it's comfortable to boot.
However, the one thing that really stands out for me is the engine. It's the most economical in its range and can produce a staggering 80.7 mpg! Everyone knows this isn't a "real world" figure but you get the idea of what it's capable of. The reason I call the Ibiza and unsung hero is the fact that it is essentially a Volkswagen Polo, delivering better mpg than most hybrids, competes very well with rival hatchbacks and the price is a steal!
Let's compare some cars it's competing with –
Toyota Yaris Hybrid 1.5 VVT-I 80.7 mpg 79 g/km £15,495
Vauxhall Corsa 1.3CDTI ecoFLEX 80.7 94g/km £15,330.00
Peugeot 208 1.4 e-HDi (automatic) 87g/km 83 mpg £14,195.00
Ford Fiesta 1.6 TDCI 71 mpg 104g/km 95 £15,245.00
Seat Ibiza 1.2 TDI Ecomotive 80.7 92g/km £13,300
*This list was compiled using the FuelMileage.co.uk database and the OTR prices taken directly from the manufacturer's website of new cars available now.
It does go without saying that there will be more economical and cheaper cars out there than the Ibiza – but this isn't what this blog is about. This is just my personal opinion from working in the new car leasing trade that the Seat Ibiza 1.2 TDI Ecomotive is the complete package.
To summarise the blog today I would begin by saying that the Ibiza 1.2 TDI is a brilliant, brilliant little car. If you are going for a diesel hatchback I would advise to seriously consider this car, take it for a test drive and do your homework. A factor that a lot of people take into consideration is who is really behind the manufacturer- knowing that Seat is a part of Volkswagen who make Audi's can change a lot of people's minds.
It looks great, the economy is right at the top, the emissions are very low and most importantly the price is cheap, as an example of leasing this car it would be as little as £121 with us. Check Seat's website or your local deal if you need more information about a purchase.
Thanks for reading today, if you feel the same way or have another car you feel trumps the Ibiza then feel free to leave a comment or send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com, to find the latest deals on not just green but any car please visit www.allcarleasing.co.uk
Should he stay or should he go? (for a high price) : Luis Suarez signs a new contact
Luis Suarez has signed a new contract with a bumper pay rise and an extension. But will he still go? I think that question will be answered towards April or so. He wants Champions League football, he is a Champions League quality player so in all fairness it's fair that he would want out of an underperforming team that he is single handedly getting wins for.
But, and there was always going to be a but, will he stay at the end of the season? He may have extended his contract and therefore would cost more to purchase but Real Madrid as an example still have the money for him. £100,000,000 is not an improbable considering Bale was £85,000,000.
However, if we reach the Champions League, or better yet win a trophy, will he stay? My heart says yes, but my mind says no. He has already stated his dreams and intentions and if we fail to get Europe, I wouldn't blame him for leaving – even after all the past incidents the way he's going this season and if it continues he won't owe us anything.
Totally Wicked Tornado-T Electronic Cigarette Review
Electronic Cigarette Home Page
The Tornado Tank is a revolutionary electronic cigarette, which changed the face of vaping overnight.
Traditional electronic cigarettes had a cartridge and atomizer system which, whilst functional, did not replicate accurately enough the sensation of smoking for many users. – From Totally Wicked's Website
The Review
I have finally moved on from the Ego-C after using it for quite some time. However, it's Christmas and thought about getting a new one. I have recently started a new job and there is a Totally Wicked shop just around the corner so I was able to see it first hand before making the purchase. The first thing I liked about it was how sleek it looked compared to some of the others I have used.
This is the most modern Electronic Cigarette I have used and it has done away with wicks and instead it just looks like an empty chamber and a space to put the liquid in. There is no hassle putting it together, cleaning it and refilling – which is something I really appreciate.
The amount of vapour it produces is also remarkably more than the Ego-C, Eon Smoke, Nicolites and VPRO. The taste however is not much different.
It is a smaller sized battery than what I'm used to but has not let me down once yet, however I am able to charge it at my desk at work so it hasn't really been "tested" yet.
The box it came with also had loads of spares and a free 18mg tobacco flavour liquid (which I changed to Cherry) which was a nice bonus as my previous electronic cigarettes didn't really come with any decent packaging, I was quite impressed with this.
Something I've noticed so far is that it takes just a little bit more inhaling to get going as it is a small hole that it comes out of, where the "exit" was much bigger in other models- this has resulted in a slightly sore throat after a long period of using it such as a traffic jam.
Although it looks much better than the others I've used the end result is the same. I press a button and vapour comes out. However, it is much easier to clean, put liquid in and to take care of which are valuable attributes to have. I am happy with the Tornado-T and will continue to use it and see how it goes but it has become my e-cig of choice.
Liverpool's christmas schedule – defining moment
Premier League
Liverpool v Cardiff Sat 21 Dec
Man City v Liverpool Thu 26 Dec
Chelsea v Liverpool Sun 29 Dec
These are the games that we have got ahead of us before 2014, two away games to title chasing teams. Tough isn't the word, so you can see why it's such a defining moment for us. Win all three and we would more than likely end 2013 at the top and then I would start think that maybe, just maybe we can win the league!
We have shown some weakness from time to time. We were rounded by Southampton and thrashed by Hull when they attacked us and didn't let us get into our flow which has seen us batter teams, namely Norwich and recently Spurs (Sorry AVB!). We won't have Sturridge for these games so we are heavily relying on Suarez. At the moment he is flying and carried us a bit, but if he was to have an off game then I worry about what could happen. Hendo, Coutinho and Flan have been very good so far but they don't look quite ready to dictate the game like Suarez can do.
What I am hoping for as a good run would be beat Cardiff, draw city and draw Chelsea. That to me would be a cracking bunch of results. If we end up having a bad run with these 3 then we will have a right good scrap on our hands for that 4th spot.
Nervy times ahead
How to get the best economy from your car
How to get the best economy from your car
Everyone is always concerned about the recession, increased fuel prices and so on but when it comes to driving and your car, what can you do to reduce some of the costs – this is especially important with winter coming and longer journeys are expected.
Make it lighter
We all carry a bit of unnecessary weight in our car, but if you were to take everything out that you don't need you would be surprised with how much fuel you can save. You may not notice it day by day but over weeks and month it would show on your petrol station statements. This rule also applies to "extras" on the car as well – roof and bike racks as an example.
Turn off the gadgets
To some it may sound obvious but air conditioning uses a big chunk of fuel, especially on a long journey or if the car isn't going too fast. For cars without air conditioning putting the heater to a lower temperature can work wonders. Also make sure some of the other appliances you may have are monitored – the heated seats, heated windscreens and so on.
Keep the car healthy
Keeping the car well maintained can be a costly endeavour however; it can SAVE money by doing this as a well maintained car performs better and therefore can use a lot less fuel than a car that has not had much attention. Some things to keep an eye on –
- Regular oil changes
- Tyres have good amount of pressure and treads are still fine.
- All fluids are kept fine and no leaks (engine coolant, gearbox fluid, brake fluid)
Slow down
Another obvious point is to watch your speed! Although you would get a lot of attention on the motorway going anything less than 60mph (maybe even 70mph!) it does affect the fuel usage quite a bit. If you normally go over 70mph on a motorway with regular use try going for a week sticking to 70mph and see the difference.
If you have a clean car it will become more aerodynamic – it probably wouldn't add much to the mpg but it all adds up!
If you are to make all of these changes then surely you would notice a big difference in both your fuel consumption and in your pocket. The savings would be throughout the year but in winter when there's more traffic and cars have to struggle more to get warm you will see it a lot more during this time.
At All Car Leasing we have a wide range of economical cars. Why don't you have a look?
Red Mist
I suffered quite a bit of red mist during the 3-3 thriller at Goodison Park; not just about the result but about other things that happened during that game, quite a headline grabber.
First off, it was a spectacularly entertaining game and definitely one for the neutrals, tackles flying in, goal mouth scrambles and cracking saves – a great advert from the premier league. But for me it was all tainted by two people: Kevin Mirallas and Joe Allen.
How Kevin Mirallas stayed on the pitch was beyond me, the ref had the best view and yet it was still a yellow. Luis Suarez was lucky to be able to carry on. However, whether the result would have changed with a red card is debatable.
The second, Joe Allen. All I can say is that I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't play for a long time.
It was good to see Suarez and Sturridge get a goal each and keep the scoring momentum going, it was also another day where Lukaku has shown what a monster he is with his power, pace and finishing. Roberto Martinez demonstrated his vision of how he can get Everton playing which is far more entertaining than Moyes ever did.
It leaves Liverpool still second in the league and looking good, a draw was a fair result but it has given our near rivals a chance to gain some points which Arsenal, City and Chelsea have all done at time of writing.
The Gerrard leading with the elbow thing was dubious but it wasn't comparable to the Mirallas tackle, so don't bother.
EonSmoke Electronic Cigarette Review
Electronic Cigarette main page.
This will now be my 4th different review of an electronic cigarette following my review for Nicolites, VPro and the eGo so I feel I've got to know some different variations and a feel of what is good and bad in an electronic cigarette.
This time is EonSmoke who have kindly sent me some samples to test – I got two batteries and several cartridges of President, Coffee, Mango, Grape Mint and Tobacco flavour.
First of all, if you have ever heard or even used the Nicolites brand of electronic cigarette you will feel right at home as they are almost identical in looks, as both of these have aimed for a "real" feeling of using electronic cigarette.
The EonSmoke version is more reliable in my opinion, only a couple (out of 30+) cartridges have come with that horrible taste (straight out of the packet) and the battery lasts a bit longer.
The flavours in the EonSmoke cartridges are consistent – when replacing a cartridge the taste is the same, which was always a drawback with these types of eCigarette. The range of flavours are also very good (see the range here) and the cartridge are always designed differently based on flavour, something I find to be a good, simple addition to the packaging.
Although the flavours are good the EonSmoke does fail to achieve my personal level of desired throat hit and at times it does feel like you are sucking on thin air – the nicotine level I recieved were 18mg but there are different eCigs and flavours out there with the same nicotine level with a superior throat hit – this is an area I'd suggest to improve straight away.
On a full charge the EonSmoke will conformably take you through a normal working day where you may only be able to use it on breaks, but on days off or regular use throughout the day you will need to make sure you are near a charing point or have a spare. I'd always recommend a spare, which I always carry with me anyway.
The method of charging is the same as normal, a USB adapter which can be plugged into a computer or a USB mains adapter.
To keep it compact I'm not sure if there's anything EonSmoke can do at the moment, but as technology advances I'm sure it will be improved. They have manual batteries available in store which may increase battery life, but as I only received the automatic one I wouldn't be able to comment.
Overall, I really liked the EonSmoke for it's uniqueness in a congested market at the moment. Their flavours are nice, their accessories range is growing and it feels good in your hands. The areas where I would improve however are the battery life and the throat hit of some of the cartridges. But all in all, one of the better products out there – it feels authentic and you can trust them more than some of the "do it yourself" eCigarettes.
4 Games 10 Points and top of the league! Are we title contenders?
A lot of people, mostly non-LFC fans have started jumping the gun a bit with Liverpool's brilliant start to the Premier League campaign, as highlighted by Pro-Man United tabloid the daily mail in their recent article on the subject. Read that here.
Looking back at the performance there were quite a few instances we were quite lucky to come away with a win, namely the Aston Villa game and the United game, the recent draw against Swansea was a nail biter as well; at first looking like a win, then a draw and finally lucky to not lose. So I feel like I'm being realistic here, we have got the points and we are top of the league but it hasn't been too convincing, really.
4 games is nowhere near enough to make a judgement, we have only played on of the "top clubs" so far so it's impossible to say.
However, the signs are still there – we have won games being sub par, we have had a draw when perhaps we should have lost and we do have Luis Suarez to come back which is massive and almost like a new signing he has been missing for so long.
The other teams around us have had a slightly poorer start to us but for me have a better squad all round Chelsea, City and Spurs to be more precise (I am not convinced United will get a top 4, and that's my honest opinion) – and I think their depth will stand the test as the season progresses. Although I am very happy with Liverpool's starting 11 I do worry a bit about the quality on the bench: it's decent but it's not a top 4 bench, and definitely not a title-winning bench.
So, just to reiterate – I am over the moon with the start Liverpool have made but I am very skeptical about a title challenge this year. I believe we are maybe 1 or 2 seasons away from that. However, I am expecting a serious top 4 challenge and expect us to make that from what I've seen, but you can never quite tell in the Premier League.

December 22, 2014
The day before Greater Rockford Airport leaders are expected to vote to add one or more airlines, airport leaders are tight-lipped about how the talks are progressing.
Airport director Bob O'Brien says airport, airline and city leaders will be silent for the next three days in hopes of getting the job done.
Last week we reported that the Rockford Airport had an offer from Northwest Airlines to add two daily flights to Detroit, this along with talks to add Frontier Airline service to Denver.
O'Brien wouldn't say if a deal with Northwest or Frontier is any closer. However, Rockford travel agents say they've heard from several travelers excited about the possibilities.
The six member Rockford airport board will likely make their vote on whether to add new airline service at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday.

Narrow year range (drag arrows to filter):
For 2014, the Nissan Quest gains some new color choices but otherwise carries over unchanged.
For 2013, the Nissan Quest LE gets standard Around View Monitor (to help spot nearby objects and snug clearances), and the 11-inch-screen DVD entertainment system is now available across the line.
The 2012 Nissan Quest minivan adds XM Satellite Radio to the SV and SL trims.
The all-new, fourth-generation Quest returns to the Nissan lineup after a 1-year hiatus with a bold look that towers above the competition – literally.
New automatic door locks and a new exterior color, Tuscan Sun, mark the major changes for the 2009 Nissan Quest.
The SL trim level receives a power sliding left-side door, automatic on/off headlights and the RearView monitor system, while the SE gains standard Bluetooth and XM Satellite Radio.
In the world of minivans Nissan's Quest for 2014 takes a pretty convincing stab at pulling off "cool" without sacrificing any of the features that make a minivan so vital to the family. A tall roofline and wraparound glass set the Quest apart, as do an interior and a dashboard that would be equally at home inside any luxury SUV. Gadgets galore and clever features, such as the 1-touch power sliding door and power-return 3rd-row seat, make the Quest even more desirable. Of course, you could pay less and get more horsepower from the Dodge Grand Caravan or the Kia Sedona, but really, what price can you put on being cool?

The directly measured hour-averaged Reynolds shear stress agrees well with the drag-law estimate inferred from the measured burst-averaged velocity by means of an empirically determined drag coefficient . The standard deviation of the oscillatory bottom shear stress produced by surface waves is inferred from a wave-current interaction model and is much larger than the hour-averaged stress , which is associated with wind-driven and tidal currents. The wave-induced stress is primarily responsible for suspending particles and controlling the size of water-borne flocs.

F365's Top Ten Premier League Players Of 2014
38 comments
It's that time of year, when we look back with fondness and wonder. So, here for your delectation are Football365's top ten players of the year. Please don't get angry, okay?
All Articles
10) Mauro Zarate (West Ham)
Apart from the stranger-than-strange £12million spent on Enner Valencia (and that is more for gallows humour purposes), the striker situation at West Ham promises to be rather uninteresting indeed. An injured Andy Carroll, Carlton Cole, Modibo Maiga and Ricardo Vaz Te make for 26 Premier League goals in 158 games over the last two seasons, and the possible arrival of Connor Wickham doesn't do much to ignite a tingling in the loins. We want excitement, dammit.
The presence of Mauro Zarate, therefore, makes for much more fascination. Banned for two games at Lazio for insulting a referee (severely), he then followed that up by making a fascist salute. Zarate also left Rome for treatment on a skin condition but was then seen holidaying in the Maldives, and was regularly forced to train with the reserves or youth team for being disruptive. All within the last 18 months.
It will, there is no doubt, be interesting.
9) Bojan Krkic (Stoke)
We're not the Daily Mail website, so we're not picking double Champions League winner Bojan as a 'hidden gem', but there is certainly a sense of intrigue regarding the Spaniard's arrival in the Potteries.
There is little doubt that the move constitutes a fall from grace for Bojan, who started 17 games for Ajax last season and just five for Milan the campaign before. However, with an impressive pre-season and under the stewardship of a seemingly more settled Mark Hughes, this seems very much like a free roll of the dice from all parties. Just don't score in any midweek home games between October and March - not sure we could take the weak gags.
8) Muhamed Besic (Everton)
"I knew several months ago that (Muhamed) Besic would be in the squad, because he is the only player here who can handle the job of man-marking Lionel Messi" - Safet Susic, Bosnia & Herzegovina coach
Despite the added pressure, there is little doubt that Besic thoroughly impressed during this summer's World Cup, and earned his move from Ferencvaros to Everton. Comfortable playing in central defence, Roberto Martinez is likely to follow Susic's lead and utilise Besic as a holding midfielder alongside Gareth Barry or James McCarthy, thus allowing Kevin Mirallas, Ross Barkley and others to roam more freely.
These were Besic's first touches in an Everton shirt. It made us salivate, so get on board.
7) Erik Lamela (Tottenham)
I wrote last week about the bloated squad (high on quantity, not on quality) that Mauricio Pochettino is forced to deal with at Spurs, and the manager has now publicly spoken of his desire to trim the fat, plenty of which may consist of summer 2013 arrivals that then wholly unimpressed.
Lamela, however, will surely not be amongst that group. Tottenham's record signing had a debut season blighted by back and hamstring injuries, and even when fit largely failed to offer any evidence for his weighty fee, constantly playing catch-up following a stunted pre-season. Now is the time for redemption.
The assumption/aspiration is that under Pochettino this may be a player reborn, substantial improvement negating the necessity for increased investment. It may be already be a case of last-chance saloon.
6) Dusan Tadic (Southampton)
The reason why we remain(ed) rather calm amidst the overwhelming negativity during the Southampton St. Mary's Summer Sale is that, in Ronald Koeman, they have a manager that actually has knowledge of an alternative league to the one in which he is competing. If Southampton were forced to shop around the Premier League's lower reaches for replacements then things could have got rather smelly, but the Eredivisie provides Koeman with a resource of potentially valuable recruits.
Dusan Tadic may well be the perfect example. Playing in the same team as Nacer Chadli with Twente, most fans of the Eredivisie will tell you that Spurs simply signed the wrong player, and the 16 goals and 14 assists the Serbian provided last season may well add fuel to that fire.
Tadic is no guarantee of success, but for half the price of the departed Lallana, Southampton have signed the best player in the Dutch league. Put him alongside the same division's top scorer and you suspect Koeman et al may just be okay.
5) Stevan Jovetic (Manchester City)
Similarly to Lamela before him, whilst it may be fair to label Jovetic's first season in England as disastrous, the entirety of the blame cannot be placed at the feet of a player who suffered with multiple injury issues.
Jovetic can use both feet, is happy to drift out wide or deep and has an excellent eye for a pass in the final third - his brilliance in his final season for Fiorentina has been unjustly forgotten amidst a stuttering 12 months in Manchester.
With the hamstrings of Sergio Aguero, form of Alvaro Negredo and finishing of Edin Dzeko providing an uneasy hat-trick, there is the propensity for a City forward to establish themselves as a regular starter within the first-team set-up, and the Montenegrin scored five goals in City's final three pre-season friendlies. A word of warning, however: Darren Bent scored 11 goals in his last five friendlies in 2008/9 for Spurs.
4) Ander Herrera (Manchester United)
Ander Herrera may well not be Europe's best midfielder. His transfer fee may also be slightly on the lofty side at £29million, and he may well be the tenth choice for Spain's central midfield, reaching the age of 25 without receiving a call-up to the national squad. But that just makes his presence as the potential new saviour of Manchester United's midfield all the more intriguing.
Contributing three assists on debut in a 7-0 win is lovely enough, but Herrera's real test will soon come. With the much-vaunted move for Arturo Vidal still failing to materialise, it's all on a fresh-faced young man from Bilbao to pour Polyfilla in the cracks in United's midfield. Has anyone got a bulldozer?
3) Theo Walcott (Arsenal)
Well of course we are excited about the arrival of Alexis Sanchez, and to see whether Aaron Ramsey can continue his frankly obscene form from early last season, but it's Theo Walcott that raises the most intrigue. Arsenal were top of the Premier League when Walcott suffered his knee injury in January, and he had scored five goals in his previous five league matches - Wenger's side won 77% of matches with him in the team but just 56% without him.
There is also an interesting question to be raised regarding Walcott's positioning when he returns in September. Will he play as a support striker to Olivier Giroud (as is his wish), with Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez either side, or instead be forced to operate from the right wing with Sanchez more central? Either way, it seems baffling that Walcott is now Arsenal's second longest-serving player, joining a week after Abou Diaby.
2) Cesc Fabregas (Chelsea)
With the jury (the F365 jury, anyway) still out on Diego Costa's potential success at Stamford Bridge, there is a great deal of confidence that Cesc Fabregas may be a whole lot more dependable. We just can't wait to see him back in the Premier League.
"Frank is the history of the club, history nobody can forget," Jose Mourinho said on Monday. "Fabregas is the future; history is history but the future is more important at the moment. My opinion, and the opinion of my players, is that Fabregas is the right player to occupy that central position in midfield."
Playing alongside Nemanja Matic and linking with Willian, Eden Hazard and Oscar, it's already making me dribble slightly. After being forced into a more attacking position with Barcelona, and slightly suffering for that move, now is the chance to see Fabregas in his best position.
The Spaniard already has 71 Premier League assists despite leaving for Spain at the age of 24. With odds of 14/1 available on him providing the most assists this season, we'd pile on.
1) Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool)
It's far, far too easy to get excited in pre-season, but watching Philippe Coutinho's performance against Dortmund on Sunday lunchtime will have given Liverpool fans hope that the post-Suarez era may not be as glum as many naysayers predict. Operating in a No. 10 role behind Daniel Sturridge, the Brazilian was wonderful.
"His ability is just magical," Brendan Rodgers said after the game. "His ability to get out of tight situations, his view of the game. That's his best position too - playing between the lines. He will show at that (Champions League) level that he is a top player."
The arrivals following Suarez's departure may well prove many doubters (*raises hand slowly*) wrong, but there seems little doubt that potentially Liverpool's most exciting talent was already at the club. Coutinho is ready to step into the Anfield limelight - it could make for particularly attractive viewing.
Couldn't find room for (and now slightly regret it): Remy Cabella, Siem de Jong, Andrew Robertson, Mauricio Isla and Danny Ings.

Dear Stoner: Why does my weed sometimes smell like pine trees, other times like oranges, and other times like hay?
Sniff Test
Dear Sniff: I'm going to get a little cosmic here. The cannabis plant actually has elements of other plants and living organisms in it called terpenes. Okay, all living beings produce them. They're basically tiny molecules of smell and flavor and are what make up things like essential oils and resins. That orange smell? Limonene, which is also found in actual oranges. The pine-tree odor is probably from delta-3-carene, which is also found in cedar and pine sap. And the same calming linolool found in lavender oil is found in Lavender Kush.
It's not just about smell and taste, though: Terpenes can enhance the buzz from THC. Earthy, hoppy mycrene, which is also found in mangos (and Kushes), is said to enhance the THC buzz in the brain. As for the hay? It's because someone got lazy and didn't grow, dry and cure their herb well enough to preserve those terpenes. Go back to the guys with the orange and pine-tree weed.
Dear Stoner: What is hemp really good for aside from making clothes that only a hippie would wear and sails for boats nobody uses anymore?
Suspicious Mind
Dear Suspicious: You need to open your mind more, man, and we suggest a joint to start. Then look into things like the growing interest in using hemp stalks as building materials. When mixed with lime, hemp can form sturdy, concrete-like building blocks. The downside is that their compression strength is about 5 percent of that of concrete, so it's mostly used for insulation or walls that aren't load-bearing. And no, living in a hempcrete house won't get you stoned.
There's also a real use for food — and not just for Boulder granolas shopping at Whole Foods. Livestock can be fed the plants. In fact, a butcher in Washington has begun feeding his pigs the leftover stalks from medical cannabis gardens — and that's just the waste from a few medical weed shops. Think what a few acres could do.
But, really, if you need one use for hemp besides hippie pants, look no further: TheHempShop.com offers 100 percent organic hemp lingerie — so you can get your green on while you get your freak on.

If you even have to ask that question you really need educated
one can make any number of things besides clothes for it is an excellent fiber(hemp was used to save George H. Bush in WWII as it was what the life jacket was made out of that he wore after he had to eject from his plane & float) & the Dupont Corp.,one of the leading lobbyist for keep marijuana illegal ,particularly HEMP(made from the male plants that cannot even get u high, cause Dupont is the leading, very rich company that makes synthetic fibers & sees it as a threat to their healthy profits...
Is this a serious ?.... lol. EVERYTHING from fuel to building supplies...
Plastics is the big one
Absolutely everything. For real.
I agree mostly with the answers, but there are more possibilities.
With the commercialization of weed, many companies have come up with additives, like tobacco companies. Fertilizers and sprays with artificial aromas are the most popular to cover up poor cultivation/curing technics. That's right, they spray their buds with additives, such as artificial pine and citrus. I believe soon, if it hasn't already happened, these same frauds will put more addictive additives on their herb, again like big tobacco.
As for Hemp, it's probably the most suppressed substance on the planet, thanks to chemical companies. it's many uses are nothing compared to potential uses, but testing is illegal in this country. Back when it was legal, scientists were going crazy with it, but renewable building blocks aren't as profitable as chemical building blocks, so big money snuffed it out. Here is just one example of Hemp possibilities, but we wont see it any time soon.
10 times the strength of steel without denting. They made fuel with it too, but big oil made that go away.
Dear Bongsucker Billy,
Sometimes when I go to bed with an itchy butt,
I wake up with smelly fingers.
Why does that happen?
Your pal,
ps: it doesn't smell like pine trees either.
2 documentaries to watch; on Youtube or Netflix.
"Hemp Can Save the World" and "When We Grow"
Both will give you the knowledge that NOT growing hemp is just an insane government policy.
Agreed Juan_Leg. Also, there are over 50,000 uses for hemp! Google it!
Quite often if a person is sitting on an amount, one can use orange peel, an apple slice, or a fruit similar, to keep the product fresh . I'm surprised the 'Authoritative Voice' on marijuana FAILED to mentioned this ...
@Nick Murphy ... ironic.
@Joshua Trotter "hemp was used to save George H. Bush in WWII"
Minus 2pts for hemp.
@Monkey "As for Hemp, it's probably the most suppressed substance on the planet, thanks to chemical companies."
Nonsense. Hemp is LEGAL and has been COMMERCIALLY / INDUSTRIALLY CULTIVATED in China, France, Russia and even Canada for decades ... if it had any viable competition to "chemical companies", those chemical companies would simply INVEST in it and/or dominate it's production/distribution, like Cargill does with AgFood products.
If it's such a "miracle" crop, then why haven't these LEGAL farmers/producers made BAZILLIONS of $$$ ??
@shamanhawk ... more Stoner LIES, BULLSHIT and Propaganda
@tonysoto5 .... there are over a BAZILLION uses for Duct Tape! ... Google It!
'Preaching to a choir', friend .......
@Juan_Leg Did he fail to mention it or was it irrelevant to the conversation at hand? The person's question was about smell not about keeping products fresh. Stop being so eager to please your master.
@Juan_Leg ... or a tortilla
You are such an ass !!!
This site wouldn't be SHIT,
:) !
@Mike @Juan_Leg
Try putting orange peel in w/ your stash & you will OBVIOUSLY smell and taste the fruit .....
AND, Master ? Use masters if you so choose, for there are five I follow regularly ....
@Juan_Leg Keep running your mouth on the internet, punkass. You sure wouldn't dare say shit to my face.
Mike MUST be related to stuka1 in one way or another ...
@Mike "Why would someone put that into their bag and then ask why it smells like it?
ps -- smell my sack!
@Juan_Leg Think of your logic there. Why would someone put that into their bag and then ask why it smells like it? The question was why it smelled like it to begin with which he answered. It had nothing to do with keeping the product fresh. Stop being so eager to criticize, he didn't mention it because it wasn't relevant to the question he was asked.
