Workington AFC were formed around 1884 by the people of Dronfield, a town south of Sheffield, although it's now Derbyshire. In the early 1880s about 1,500 Dronnies (as the locals nicknamed them) relocated and came to live and work in workington with their employer Cammel the Steel makers. In January 1884 the team was first reported in one of the local papers under the name of Workington Dronfield. In 1885/86 The Cumberland Cup was staged for the first time and the clubs who entered were Workington, Carlisle, Arlecton, Distington and Wigton.
In March 1887 Workington beat Carlisle 8-0 (Cumberland cup), this match was played at Workington Cricket Field. In 1887/88 Workington appeared in the FA cup for the first time and were beaten 6 - 0 away to Bootle. 1890 saw Workington join the new Cumberland association league playing their games at the cricket ground; in 1893 they moved to The Ashfield ground.
In 1894/95 Workington entered the Cumberland senior league. In 1901/2 Workington joined the Lancashire League. The reds returned back to the Cumberland senior league in 1903/4, they also became a limited company and turned professional, and the players started getting paid. 1904/5 Workington joined the Lancashire combination league in division 2. 1909/10 the club moved to a new ground, Lonsdale Park. Reds played Man city at home in the FA cup and were beaten 2-1. Man city had offered to play the game in Manchester but Workington declined. The 1910/11 season found the club really struggling financially and in an effort to cut costs decided to move to the North eastern league. In July of 1911 things became serious and at a meeting of the shareholders, the board of directors decided to go into voluntary liquidation withdrawing from the North eastern league and also the next seasons FA cup. In 1911/14 a club under the name of Workington Central was formed and played for a few seasons until the outbreak of the First World War.
In 1921 meetings were held in Workington to form a new club and a committee was dually formed, soon Workington AFC as we know it was up and running and more than ready to get back in to action. The North Eastern league was in the process of electing new clubs due to some of their former clubs joining the newly formed football league division 3 Northern section. Workington along with Darlington reserves, Preston Colliery and Seaton Delaval were elected to the North Eastern league.
In 1936/37 Reds won the north eastern league challenge cup for the 2nd time, they also moved to their present ground Borough Park which was situated next to the old ground Lonsdale Park. In September 1939 all league fixtures were cancelled due to the outbreak of the Second World War, although Workington managed to play a season in the west Cumberland league in 1944.
After the war the Reds were desperate to join the football league and made several unsuccessful applications; finally in June 1951 the reds were elected to the football league division three north, replacing New Brighton. Their first game in the league was away to Halifax losing 3-1, The following Wednesday evening Workington Played their first home game against Chesterfield who they beat 3-1 with a crowd of over 10,000 packed into Borough Park. The Reds finished bottom in their first season in the third division north but the Reds continued in Division 3 north for the next six seasons with their highest position being 4th in the 56/57 season. In January 1954 Bill Shankly took over as new manager, having been in charge at Grimsby Town. It was common knowledge to all the locals that bill was an absolute football fanatic whose appetite for the game knew no limits, so it was a sad day for the area when Bill left to manage Huddersfield Town in December 1955 with Norman Low taking over from Shankly as manager of the club.
In the 1956/57 season Workington paid their highest transfer fee to Sunderland to get the services of Ken Chisholm and Ted Purdon. In June 1957 Joe Harvey the former Newcastle captain arrived from Barrow to manage the reds, He was to remain at Workington until 1962. The greatest game in Workingtons history took place at Borough Park on January 4th 1958 when they took on Manchester United in the 3rd round of the FA cup. This was a month before the tragic Munich air disaster. In the United line up that day were the likes of Bobby Charlton, Duncan Edwards, Harry Gregg, and Dennis Violet. Workington led 1-0 at half time with a goal from Colbridge, but went on to lose 3-1. It's hard to imagine nowadays, how the reds record crowd of 21,000 managed to cram in to Borough Park that day. People talked about this game for years afterwards and still do to this day. That season finshed badly when Workington were relegated to the new 4th division of the football league.
In June 1962 Manager Joe Harvey decided to try his lot at Newcastle United and the managerial seat became vacant. July of that year saw the Reds first ever player manager with the arrival of Ken Furphy from Darlington. Under Furphy, The Reds and their fans were to enjoy a very successful period in their league history. 1963-64 was the best season in the history of Workington football club; they reached the quarter finals of the football league cup before losing 6-0 to West Ham united at Upton Park. The reds recorded their best ever home league attendance of 18,633 against local rivals Carlisle United. They finished third and were promoted to the third division, along with this they also achieved their highest number of points (59) and their 24 wins were the joint best for that season.
In the 1964/65 season Reds once again reached the quarter finals of the football league cup with some truly amazing achievements, they beat Barrow 9-1 at home (this was a record for 19 years) and after holding Blackburn Rovers to a 0-0 draw at Borough Park, went to Ewood Park and beat Rovers 5-1.They continued their run by beating Norwich City 3-0 and then Chelsea came to Borough Park for a 2-2 draw. They lost the replay 2-0 at Stamford Bridge. Along with the Man United tie, the Chelsea game was also a real classic that people remembered and were to talk about for years to come. In November of 1964 manager Furphy resigned and took up the post at Watford, Keith Burkinshaw continued as makeshift player manager for a while and then George Aitkin took charge of the team. By April of 1965 Burkinshaw was controversially given a free transfer to Scunthorpe despite being wanted by a number of other clubs. In the season 1965/66 George Ainsley took over as manager and in August, 15 year old Tony Geidimintis became the youngest player to play a football league fixture for reds. Other memorable happenings included striker kit Napier being sold to Newcastle for £20,000 and Bobby Brown playing his last game and becoming reds longest serving player notching up a considerable 419 appearances.
In November 1966 manager George Ainsley left the club and was replaced by Bill Leivers, this managerial stint was only to last about 4 months and Leivers went to seek pastures new at Cambridge United.
In March 1967 reds long servant Bobby Brown was asked to take over the reigns. On may 13 1967 in appalling weather conditions reds where beaten 2-1 at home to Reading, in what was their first league attendance of under one thousand, with only 856 turning up at Borough Park, they got a mention on that evenings edition of match of the day, when it was stated there was probably more in the press box at old Trafford than was at Borough Park. That season saw reds being relegated to division four after finishing bottom of the league. By December of 1967 Bobby Brown stood down as manager and was replaced by Frank Upton who had been player manager at Worcester city. Although finishing 23rd in division four and having to seek re-election, the reds provided some memorable games in the FL cup by beating Oldham and rivals Carlisle United. In round 3 they took on Fulham at home, at the time Fulham where in the old first division (now premier league) and boasted some world class players including the likes of Allan Clarke, Les Barratt, Johnny Haynes and England world cup winner George Cohen. On a truly brilliantly atmospheric night Reds put up a superb display and shared a 2-2 draw in front of 11,357 fans. In the replay at Craven Cottage the Reds where beaten 6-2. In July of 1968 Frank Upton resigned by mutual consent.
In 1968/69 Brian Doyle was the new reds manager. In the league cup 3rd round workington played Burnley at home in front of a 9,664 crowd, Burnley won 1-0. This season saw the departure of two of workingtons most promising players, Brian Tinnion was sold to Wrexham and John Flynn went to Sheffield United.
In April of 1971 reds goalkeeper John Burridge was sold to Blackpool, then a couple of month's later manager Brian Doyle resigned, and former player/coach George Aitkin arrived from Watford to become the new boss. The season 1971/72 saw reds finish 6th in the league with 51 points, they were only beaten 11 times. They conceded only 34 goals making this their best ever defensive record. 1972/73 saw Reds finish 13th with 46 points, they beat Preston at home 1-0 in the first round of the FL cup and gained another home tie to Sheffield United only to be beaten 1-0 infront of 7,188 at Borough Park which was their highest gate for that season.
The 1973/74 was a very dismal season in which they suffered their lowest league home attendance of only 693 when they played Exeter City, and at least 6 more games had less than a thousand. In the FL cup 1st round they held Carlisle to a 2-2 draw at Brunton Park, only to be beaten 1-0 in the replay at Borough Park watched by a crowd of 4,931. Finishing 23rd in the league, reds had to apply for re-election and along with Doncaster, Crewe and Stockport; they managed to keep their league status.
In 1974/75 Reds got off to a poor start losing 7 of their first 10 games. Manager Aitkin resigned and was replaced by caretaker boss Brian Wood for a short while. In November former Reading player Colin Meldrum took charge of the club, in April his contract was terminated and he was replaced by John Waugh as caretaker manager. Another dismal season saw the club finish again 23rd in the league with 35 points and once again having to apply for re-election. The reds were successfully re-elected to the league as were Swansea, Darlington, and Scunthorpe.
In June 1975 John McNamee was given the managers seat, but after poor results and controversial team selections he was sacked 6 months later. Alan Ashman was drafted in from neighbours Carlisle, but still Workington struggled and finished bottom of the league. Again For the fourth season running Workington had to apply for re-election, and once again given their league status back along with Stockport, Newport, and Southport.
Although starting the 1976/77 season fairly decently, it wasn't long before reds began to struggle. In the 1st round of the FA cup they were thrashed 6-0 away to Bury, They were also knocked out of the FL cup 1st round to Stockport.
In February 1977 manager Ashman was sacked and Colin Meldrum once again took over, only to be relieved of his duties in May. From 46 games reds managed to win only 4 and loss 31, leaving them bottom of the league with 19 points. This time Workingtons 7th re election bid failed and they lost their football league membership and were relegated to the northern Premier League. They were replaced by a club from the southern league who would go on to win the FA Cup, Wimbledon FC. On The 14th of May 1977 reds played their last home game in the football league, a crowd of 1,085 saw them beaten 1-0 by Newport.

Verizon rated top wireless network in Denver, but T-Mobile has faster average downloads
Posted By Andy Vuong On June 19, 2012 @ 5:15 pm In 4G,AT&T,General,Sprint,T-Mobile,Technology,Telecommunications,Verizon Wireless | 5 Comments
Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network received the top ranking in Denver in PC Magazine's latest network speed test [3], but somewhat surprisingly, T-Mobile [4] offered faster average download speeds.
The average downloads on T-Mobile's network came in at 6.81 megabits per second, while Verizon 4G posted average speeds of 5.68 Mbps. But Verizon's maximum download speed beat T-Mobile's and Verizon also topped the charts with its upload connections.
"Verizon won the crown because of much faster upload speeds and slightly better network consistency than T-Mobile, but both are very good options in the Denver urban area," PC Magazine states.
The test covered the five largest wireless carriers – Verizon, AT&T, Sprint [5], T-Mobile and MetroPCS (which doesn't offer service in Denver) – in 30 U.S. cities. In Denver, Sprint [5] 4G came in third, followed by AT&T 3G. The much-criticized AT&T has yet to light up its LTE network in Denver.
T-Mobile noted that its network [6] outpaced the competition in terms of download speeds not only in Denver, but also in Salt Lake City, Seattle and Tucson. That's quite a feat considering T-Mobile is still relying on HSPA+ technology (technically 3.5G rather than 4G), though it plans to launch a 4G LTE network in 2013.
PC Magazine also found that Rocky Mountain residents may need more rural coverage.
"We drove Route 40 through Colorado and Utah, with a few dinosaur-spotting turnoffs, and found Verizon's and AT&T's networks more frequently available than Sprint's and T-Mobile's on the drive," the magazine states.

You'll locate possibly countless diverse franchise business models these days. I chose the WSI franchise because I observed it met the standards I set for how and what I planned to develop. I selected the WSI franchise opportunity for the subsequent three good reasons…
1. Industry offers infinite development – the internet isn't going away and it is only more and more critical to our private and business lives. From social media to search engines to mobile marketing, the internet/digital marketing world is bursting. There is no shortage of demand and the prospective growth prospects are amazing. Pick a market that provides significant expansion opportunities.
• It's a Business-to-Business (B2B) model – I have worked inside the retail business for a few years, I know how much time and just how arduous it is to operate a retail or business-to-consumer (B2C) business. I didn't wish to be made to work nights and weekends. So, I picked a B2B sales and support model. Even though I work some nights and weekends, I get to enjoy doing it from the privacy of my home and when I decide to operate – not when another person forces me to function.
• Adaptable business structure – the WSI opportunity makes it possible for the franchise owner to advance his/her expense structure corresponding to revenue growth. No requirements to employ individuals with no standards to lease space. In other words, no large fixed costs that one has to stress about each month. When revenue grows, a WSI franchise owner can opt to make fixed costs investments – but only when there is enough revenue to warrant such investment decisions.
Everything varies according to what you need and ways in which you intend to operate. In my case, I wanted substantive growth opportunity, a versatile working lifestyle along with a low fixed cost opportunity. The WSI franchise model provided all three.

From the great DC Sports Blog comes this slightly creepy shot of Nats Park in Washington D.C. looking very…green. Chillingly green, in fact.
As the WaPo's in-house site reports, the Nationals were simply doing some work on the scoreboard, so what we see here is the park without any of the banner scoreboards or floodlights on to balance out the "War of the Worlds" action going on here.
Local folks took many cool photos of the first LEED-certified stadium in North America looking the part. Something something jealousy joke.

Monday, Feb. 11 Storm Update Press Release from the Town of North Branford:
We thank everyone for their patience while we dig out from the Blizzard of 2013. We received the 5th largest amount of snow in Connecticut with Northford probably receiving up to 40 inches of snow. Public Works crews, outside contractors, and local businesses and farm owners are working together diligently to continue the cleanup.
For today, the Libraries, Senior Center and Community Center, as well as schools are closed. Town Hall is open regular hours. We are working on clearing out the parking areas for these buildings.
Today crews are plowing out the public buildings, widening the roads, and pushing back the snow. If your street is completely covered with snow, please call the Town Manager's Office at 203-484-6000. All roads should be partially open by now.
Rubbish removal will be delayed one day.
Most of our calls today are from homeowners looking for someone to plow out their driveways. The Town cannot plow out driveways, but we are trying to compile a list of people who have trucks to assist you. If you can help out by plowing driveways, please call the Town Manager's Office at the above number.
We know that people were upset about the lack of phone calls over the weekend using the Reverse 911 system. We were not aware until yesterday, that the system was not working correctly. The system we use is owned by the State so I did report this to the State and we are working on correcting this.
If you have any questions or concerns, please call the Town Manager's Office so we can assist you. Again, thank you for your patience.

Errant Plays, Bad Calls Leave UConn Sidelined
No living person could explain what happened to the sports programs of the University of Connecticut in the last six months. It would take John Milton, who was so good with rebel angels being "hurled headlong flaming from the ethereal sky / With hideous ruin and combustion, down / To bottomless perdition; there to dwell / In adamantine chains and penal fire."
Maybe things are not quite so bad as that. Being in a nameless conference with Central Florida, Tulsa and East Carolina is not the same as "rolling in a fiery gulf" with a "horrid crew."
Is it?
Let us review. The trouble started 10 years ago when Boston College, Miami and Virginia Tech left the Big East. Pretty soon everybody else wanted to depart. Recently, Notre Dame, Louisville and Rutgers all left. So, eventually, did the Catholic 7, which sounds like either a list of sacraments or a trial involving the Berrigan brothers but which is actually a bunch of basketball-minded colleges that bolted to form their own league. In the divorce, they got the Big East name. We got the dog.
UConn found itself in one of those "Left Behind" novels in which all the good souls are raptured up to heaven and the nonbelievers remain on earth to do battle with South Florida, Memphis and the Antichrist. We're in a peculiar conference that, for some reason, has not been able to name itself, exposing it to additional ridicule as people call it things like the WTA (We'll Take Anybody).
UConn could not have made its own intentions to bolt more clear if Susan Herbst started showing up for press conferences in a jetpack. But nobody wanted us. Why?
I actually don't know. It's some combination of the following.
Jim Calhoun. The New York Times ran a piece earlier this month quoting unnamed sources who said Calhoun's recruiting violations, lousy graduation rate and loud criticisms of other departing programs poisoned the waters
Richard Blumenthal. The former attorney general tied up Boston College, Miami and the ACC in lawsuits and depositions back in 2003. There were multiple visits to a courthouse in Rockville, a place every Gene Pitney fan should visit once but ideally voluntarily. There were lawyers charging their clients $350 an hour. This is not a way to build bridges … except to Rockville.
Football. UConn is awesome at basketball. In the early days of this century, we were told we had to do big time football too, no matter how much it cost. If we didn't, we would wind up a second-rate sports power, unable to maintain our position in elite conferences with high paying TV contracts. So we spent over $100 million to … hey wait a minute!
Yes, from a certain bleak perspective, we seem to have spent vast sums on football in order to cripple our once-proud basketball program. If we hadn't done that, we could change the university's name to St. Geno's-on-the-Cow-Pastures and join the cool basketball conference. But the story is far from over, right? I mean the whole UConn-University of Houston rivalry could turn out to be huge.
What can be learned from this?
I say: beware of chasing the big money in college athletics. It's not really there. This is a very hard thing to study, but sports at UConn don't really pay for themselves. It takes an additional $15 million in student fees and university funds to balance the books, and that still doesn't count costs carried elsewhere. Like the $90 million for the stadium. Overall tickets sales dropped from $13.3 million in 2006 to $10.6 million in 2011. TV rights and licensing shot way up in the same time period. Division I football costs way more than anything else and, as UConn learned in 2011, you can lose $1.6 million by making it to a bowl game.
There are intangible benefits. Unweighable heaps of allure and prestige which nonetheless must be weighed.
Still, a university should teach something. So let us remember Ezra Pound who said "What thou lovest well remains, the rest is dross." And the Talking Heads who rephrased it: "Never for money, always for love. Cover up and say good night."
Good night. Maybe this was all a bad dream.

Health experts and dieters alike acknowledge that weight sneaking back on after it has been lost is a tough problem. As researchers home in on how best to keep weight from returning, research suggests that diet composition--the proportions of protein, fat, and carbohydrate we eat--may play a role in minimizing weight regain.
Feel the burnResting energy expenditure, often called REE, is the amount of energy expended (measured as calories burned) by a person at rest. REE is important for a couple of reasons. For most people, REE accounts for about 60% of calories burned during a 24 hour period, which means the higher a person's REE, the more calories he or she burns overall. A higher REE may help keep lost pounds from returning. Unfortunately, REE typically drops when people lose weight. Less body mass means a person needs fewer calories to maintain the new, lower weight. A newly slimmer person must address this decreased calorie burn by exercising more, or eating less, for life. Fail to do this and the pounds inevitably, and frustratingly, return. Counting caloriesTo study how diet composition affects resting energy expenditure, researchers randomly selected 21 obese young adults who had lost 10% to 15% of their original body weight to eat one of the following diets:
All participants followed each diet, in random order, for four weeks. The diets contained equivalent calories, and during each four-week period, researchers measured REE of each participant. Compared with their pre-weight loss REE, the decrease in REE was greatest with the high-carbohydrate diet, intermediate with the moderate carbohydrate diet, and least when participants were following the low-carbohydrate diet. Putting it in perspectiveAt first glance, this clearly suggests that the low-carbohydrate diet was most effective for keeping the body burning more calories after weight loss, but Dr. Jules Hirsh, a Rockefeller University obesity researcher, says not so fast. In an interview with the New York Times, Dr. Hirsh notes, "When carbohydrate levels are low in a diet and fat content is high, people lose water. That can confuse attempts to measure energy output. The usual measurement is calories per unit of lean body mass--the part of the body that is not made up of fat. When water is lost, lean body mass goes down, and so calories per unit of lean body mass go up. It's just arithmetic. The paper did not provide information to know how the calculations were done, but this is a likely explanation for the result." Finding your formula for successThis is one small study, and as one obesity expert highlights, we don't yet know if the decrease in resting energy expenditure was lower on the low-carbohydrate diet, or simply appeared lower due to the loss of water weight. Still, the study suggests that diet composition influences the body, and may be a useful tool for preventing weight regain. While we wait to learn more, use our tips to find your own formula for long-term weight maintenance success.

Selling Your Strengths
Maximize Your Resume
The actual words that appear in your resume are key when it comes to online applications.
The software utilized by companies to scan resumes has a list of words in the job description. It is looking at your resume to place a check. Look for words in the job description to include in your experience summary or work history. Think of it as matching your skills to their request.
Don't be tempted to lie or exaggerate your experience just to match a job posting. But use the job posting to think through what you actually do in your job (or previous jobs) that fits the desired candidate.

Well, this is just great. A male, homophobic George Bush fan has a crush on me.
Whenever he's around me, he grins a lot, constantly tries to get my attention, and generally acts like an idiot. My two best friends also believe that he has a crush on me. One of them thinks that he's probably liked me since last year. He has completely different political views than I do, not to mention a dissimilar family. My family is a bunch of atheists, while his is extremely involved with their church. He even wears T-shirts declaring the fact that he's a Christian.
One time I had to work with him for a class project. We were designing a school. He had to come up with the dress code, and he said that all boys at our school had to wear pants and that the girls always had to wear long skirts. I asked him politely not to make it this way, since I myself would hate wearing skirts all the time. (I loathe skirts. I put on pants instead.) He refused. When I asked him why not, he said, "Because skirts look nicer on girls." That stupid idiot should try putting on a skirt himself and see how he likes it. Honestly, why couldn't he let girls wear pants at our school?
He likes George Bush. A lot. He also has a problem with gay people. Today in class I was talking with the guy sitting next to me about Ellen Degeneres. He was saying, "Yeah, she's really cool. She's, like, the only lesbian comedian out there." The guy who has a crush on me sort of stiffened up. "She's a lesbian?" "Yep, she's gay," I nodded. "What, do you have a problem with that?" I didn't demand to know or anything; I asked nicely, as though I were asking him about the weather.
He shyly nodded. If he ever works up the courage to ask me out, I'll just say, "No," and spare him the shock of learning that the girl he has a crush on is queer.
I swear, this is a match made in Hell. We're complete opposites. On one hand we have him, a conservative straight guy; then we have me, a liberal lesbian. I honestly don't know why he has a crush on me. Ugh.
So, advice? Please? What do I do? Do I just ignore him, like I've been doing, or do I let him know I'm not interested? I have no idea how to deal with this situation.
Oh ignore it/ enjoy it- it's not like you'd ever want anything to happen anyway. Unless he actually makes a move, there's no point ruining his illusions. He might not want anything to happen anyway, you probably represent forbidden attraction and all that. Sure he's meant to like the nice Christian girl from the church youth group, but just have that satanic allure...
He's probably hoping you'll corrupt him.
this guy seems totally oblivious.
i think you should just...let him realize, seems a little cruel but he seems like a hell of a trouble.

Feline Purr
Name: Jamie Status: student Age: 20s Location: N/A Country: N/A Date: 2001
Why and how do Kittens purr?
Hi Jamie! that is a question from a feline fancier i guess...since i am one too! Let's see:
All big cats as lions, and tigers roar, but the little feline ones meow...and they purr too. Some zoologists( i'm not!) say the big cats can purr too and probably they do, but it will be a very loud purring! Actually purring is a low, continous, rattling hum and is interpreted as a expression of pleasure and love. It has nothing to do with the meows, the vibration frequency is far lower than that of vocal chords. Little is known about the physical mechanism involved in purring, zoologists say that the muscles of the voice box shake (or vibe) to produce this long deep sound with the diaphragm. The inhaled stroke is the louder and rougher, and the exhaled one is smoother and seems to be continous. Probably that the kittens learn to purr from their mama, calling the babies to nurse, because when they are very young their senses are very undevelloped, but still they can feel a vibration (purr) from the mother.
The cats purr at different situations, as a greeting to humans, while eating or nursing....some purr others not...
Purrr...thanks for asking NEWTON!
(Dr. Mabel Rodrigues)
In reference to larger cats, my daughter is a vet student and traveled to Africa to study some of the bigger cats such as the lion and cheetah. She mentioned that all the big cats purr, and this purr is rather loud.

Translate this page Hall of Champions recognizes Burrows at annual banquetThursday, March 14th, 2013 Issue 11, Volume 17.
Burrows hit 258 of his 275 targets, including 24 of 25 in the final round, to win USA Shootings Fall Selection Match mens trap competition October 12-14 in Kerville, Texas. The 2007 Fallbrook High School graduate qualified for this months International Shooting Federation championships in Acapulco, Mexico. "I think its a great honor to be mentioned in the same article and page as people like Alex Smith and Jimmie Johnson," Burrows said. "Its truly an honor to be mentioned with them." The Hall of Champions selected four Professional Star of the Month recipients for October 2012: Burrows, Smith, Johnson, and Donald Butler. Smith, a Helix High School graduate who spent 2012 with the San Francisco 49ers, completed 69 of 92 October passes for 875 yards and seven touchdowns including 18 of 19 throws for 232 yards and three touchdowns in a Monday Night Football performance against Arizona. Johnson, who grew up in El Cajon and attended Granite Hills High School, was eventually deprived of NASCARs Sprint Cup championship but took the points lead in October with a victory in the Martinsville Speedway 500. By the end of October Butler had 46 tackles for the San Diego Chargers, including a sack, along with an interception he returned for a touchdown. "I think my biggest blessing from that was just being honored with those guys," Burrows said. The Star of the Month was the first for Burrows. "Ill go try to win the next couple of matches and maybe I can get it again," he said. "I cant do it alone," Burrows said. "Id just like to thank everybody that has helped me." The Salute to the Champions banquet also saw the induction of former San Diego Padres pitcher Trevor Hoffman into the Breitbard Hall of Fame. Hoffmans father served in the Marine Corps, and Hoffmans off-field activity included visits to Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton and purchasing tickets and concessions for Marines and their families. During his acceptance speech Hoffman acknowledged more than his personal relationship with Camp Pendleton. "When I get to Camp Pendleton I thank the Marines for the blanket of freedom I sleep under every night," Hoffman said. 0 comments Be the first to share your opinion on this article!

Cowboy Boot Width Guide
238A well-broken in pair of cowboy boots that fits right can easily be one of the most comfortable things you'll ever wear. A not-so-well-fitting pair is another story entirely.
If your boots are way too big, you won't saunter or strut when you walk – you'll awkwardly flail around like Woody from Toy Story. If your boots are too small, your feet will feel intense, vice-grip like pressure at the widest part. Your legs, knees, hips, and feet will be in pain even after you've taken the boots off..and it won't just ache. You will HURT.
A narrow foot is shaped like a rectangle and a wide foot is shaped like an inverted triangle.
For many people who try to order cowboy boots online, finding the right width can be problematic. Buying a pair of boots that have a little extra room in the toe is one thing, but buying boots that are a quarter of an inch too small across the ball of the foot? OUCH!
The width sizing system in the U.S. look like this:
Most Narrow:AAA, AA, A, B, C, D, E, EE, and EEE: Most Wide
For women's boots, a "B" width is standard. "A" is a narrow width, and "C" is a wide width.
For men, a "D" width is standard. "B" is narrow, and "EE" or "EW" is wide. Basically, it's a sliding scale. Move to the left and the boot width narrows. Move to the right, and it widens. Most people who would require a "narrow" or "wide" size already know that they'll require a specific width.
Boot width guide on Country Outfitter Style.
If you aren't sure if your feet are narrow or wide, you'll need to look at the sizing chart for the specific brand of boot you are buying. Width will vary by boot-maker. Justin boots will have a higher arch support than Dan Post boots. Tony Lama boots tend to run a little more narrow. Also keep in mind that each type of handmade cowboy boots (like Lucchese) will fit a little different than the big name brands like Ariat and Justin.
Because custom boots truly are hand made, they will also vary slightly in fit with each individual pair. When in doubt, bigger is better. You can always slip an insole in your boot and wear thick boot socks to customize the fit of your boots. Buying too small and then taking the boot to a cobbler to be stretched may not work. The type of leather used to make the boot also plays in with the fit. Ostrich, which is particularly tough, won't stretch out enough to compromise for ordering a pair that is half a size too small.

3 Little Words That Could Ruin Your Relationship
The are three, tiny but strong words that can kill any relationship. Be sure you know these words. Otherwise, they can sneak in and contaminate even the most potent love. Hard Work Ahead: Are Relationships Really Worthwhile?
1. But. The word but, at the beginning or in the middle of a sentence, deletes whatever came before. It's works like an eraser, a backspace delete key or a subtraction sign. Whatever came before gets erased, deleted and taken away.
But is what people say when they are defensive. "I'd be glad to try, but…" The but deleted the information that came before it.
We enjoy talking to people who listen to learn and add to what they say. But substitutes your own thoughts for others'. Therefore, train yourself to replace but with and or and, at the same time.
2. Not. The word not, even when it's hiddlen in contraction form (isn't, won't, haven't, etc), is a downer. The more nots you use, the more negative you sound.
Notice the different feeling created by "I'm not going with you" versus "I'm staying home today." Which would you prefer to hear?
Flip the sentence so that instead of saying what isn't you are saying what is. Flip don't likes to would like tos. Fortunately, with nots you get a second chance. If you hear yourself having said a not, especially in a statement of preferences like a don't like or don't want, just add the positive. 5 Ways We Sabotage Our Relationships

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Nathan Verhelst, born female, is euthanized following failed sex-change operation
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
October 3rd, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) A genuine human tragedy has unfolded in Belgium after a woman who attempted to become a man by surgical means, asked to have herself euthanized. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Reported in the media as a man by the name of Nathan Verhelst, 44, she was actually a woman who wanted to become a man, but had herself euthanized by a Belgian doctor following her body's rejection of male genitalia.Verhelst cited "unbearable psychological suffering" as an excuse to end her life. According to local media, Verhelst was euthanized by Professor Wim Distelmans, a controversial figure in that country who also euthanized a pair of twins last year who were born deaf, and were at risk of losing their vision. That euthanization was highly controversial and made international headlines. Verhelst attempted to become a man and received hormone therapy, a mastectomy, and had male gentalia fashioned for her body. However, according to Verhelst who spoke to a Belgian newspaper hours before her suicide, "none of these operations work as desired." "I was ready to celebrate my new birth, but when I looked in the mirror, I was disgusted with myself. My new breasts did not match my expectations and my new penis had symptoms of rejection. I did not want to be a monster." As part of the process, Verhelst wrote a letter to family members in which she explained that her childhood relationship with her mother, which was virtually nonexistent and unfulfilling, was a major role in her depression. Her mother had wanted a boy. Verhelst regarded herself as unattractive and unwanted because she could not successfully complete the impossible physical transition from woman to man. Such transitions are naturally impossible, because sex is determined by DNA, and DNA cannot be changed. Far more important, is the fact that Verhelst felt it necessary to end her life and that a physician assisted in the procedure. This is what happens when liberalism runs amok, and we begin to define people by how they orgasm, rather than accepting them as whole human persons worthy of inherent, intrinsic value. Verhelst's mother also had hurtful comments for the media saying, "I will definitely read the letter (Verhelst wrote) but it will be full of lies. For me, this chapter is closed. Her death does not bother me. I feel no sorrow, no doubt or remorse. We never had a bond." Truly, this story is a tragedy compounded upon a tragedy. We should all be sorry any of this happened.

Girl Hunter Book Review and Giveaway
I'm not a hunter, and the closest I've come to cooking anything out in the wild is some little brown trout that my (then 9 yr old) son caught in Montana a couple of summers ago. My husband gutted them with the aide of my chef nephew, and I fried up those trout right there in our little cabin for us to eat.
I shot a gun once when I was about 10. My uncle took me down to the river near his house and put a pistol in my hand. "Shoot!" he said. I shot. And I remember that gun kicking back like you wouldn't believe, and it hurt my ears too. I wasn't interested in shooting any more after that. I had the chance to shoot again about a month ago- a shotgun. This time I had an instructor and ear plugs. It was much better, and a whole lot of fun too. (photo by Georgia Pellegrini)
Here's Georgia Pellegrini, the one who introduced me to shooting that gun. She was a classically trained chef in New York City and she decided to leave the city and seek out the origins of the food she was preparing by learning how to hunt. Georgia traveled with veteran hunters who showed her the ropes and taught her to hunt things like quail, venison, javelina, squirrel, turkey, pheasant and elk. (photo by Georgia Pellegrini)
Georgia Pellegrini's experiences with learning to hunt and traveling with a cast of characters are now compiled into a book: Girl Hunter. As I mentioned before, I'm not a hunter… but I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book. It really makes you think about where your food comes from. I admire Georgia for being brave enough to get in there with the guys, shoot the animals, gut/skin the animals, sip brandy by the campfires with a bunch of men, cook it all up, and take the time to learn all about the art of hunting. She shows us that hunting is not just for boys. And in her book, it becomes evident that she gained the respect of those who taught her. In conversations with her recently, I learned that she has truly developed a passion for hunting. Her passion comes through in her writing. It reads like a great novel that I found hard to put down. Hunters and non-hunters alike will enjoy this book.
A sampling of the recipes included in the book:
Braised Venison
Duck Prosciutto
Moroccan Elk Stew
Buttermilk Fried Rabbit

I'm giving away one copy of GIRL HUNTER by Georgia Pellegrini today! To enter to win a copy, please leave a comment below sharing if you have any experience with hunting or shooting. And if not, tell me if you've eaten any of the animals mentioned above.
This giveaway is open to anyone with a USA or CANADA mailing address. One winner will be chosen at the end of the day on Tuesday, Jan. 17th via random.org and will be contacted via email.
This giveaway is now closed! The winner (chosen randomly via random.org) is commenter #86 Krystal. Thanks to all for entering!
I wrote another post on spending a weekend with Georgia Pellegrini and some other Girl Hunters at Joshua Creek Hunting Ranch- in case you are interested in seeing the photos and learning more about my experience.

THE 'MAN' SHOW As ''Friends'' begins its 10th and final season on Thursday, some of the cast are already making TV plans for a year from now. Matt LeBlanc, of course, is getting his own spinoff, ''Joey,'' and David Schwimmer will also still be working for NBC, albeit behind the camera. Variety reports that he's set to produce (though not star in) a pilot for a prospective sitcom called ''How to Remodel a Man.'' Like ABC's ''8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter,'' ''Remodel'' is based on a book by humor columnist Bruce Cameron. Here, Cameron's tips on how to train guys to ask for directions or leave the seat down will be turned into the story of a divorced man who turns to his exes for advice.
Lisa Kudrow is also putting on her TV producer hat, working on a movie for the ABC Family channel. It's called ''Picking Up and Dropping Off,'' and it stars Scott Wolf and Amanda Detmer as two single parents coping with their own exes and kids as their relationship blossoms. It shoots at the end of this month in Calgary, with a planned airdate in December.
PRIZE PATROL Even though they came up empty-handed at the Emmys on Sunday, the ''Friends'' stars and their spouses were spotted cheerfully holding court at a table at HBO's afterparty. Well, not all the spouses -- Brad Pitt was still in Mexico, shooting his epic ''Troy.'' How did Jennifer Aniston cope with his absence from the big night? ''I actually have a picture of him,'' she told People magazine after the ceremony, ''on my underwear.'' You can read all about the latest developments in the lives of the cast, including the name of Matthew Perry's new non-celebrity girlfriend, in the cover story in this week's People.

Costello sounds downright frisky at times on this acoustic set, Secret, Profane & Sugarcane, which musically calls to mind 1986's sublime, countryish King of America. (The two albums share producer T Bone Burnett.) ''Sulphur to Sugarcane'' in particular is a lusty delight, pinpointing the notable (alleged) qualities of ladies from different locales (''The women in Poughkeepsie/Take their clothes off when they're tipsy...''). Though Costello does indulge his Debbie Downer-like inclinations on ''My All Time Doll'' and the beautiful, Loretta Lynn co-penned ''I Felt the Chill.'' B+

NY Now, the rebranded and reformatted Gift Fair, debuts this month
By David Gill
Eight months after GLM announced the reconfiguration of the New York International Gift Fair—and three years after the trade-show company began its reorganization of the show—NY Now, the Market for Home & Lifestyle will take place this month at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center and Passenger Ship Terminal Pier 94 in New York City.
That this will be a different show from the former Gift Fair will be evident in the new layout. In its reformatting effort, GLM slimmed down the previous 10 divisions of the Gift Fair to four broad market collections for NY Now: Home, Lifestyle, Handmade and New.
The change in the show's name is also intended as a break from the past, to underscore the identity of this show into a total resource for home and lifestyle products. Christian Falkenberg, the show's director and GLM senior vice president, described the name NY Now as "a great umbrella brand for the market. It is an all-encompassing name that is reflective of the Fair's 400-plus gift, home and lifestyle product categories."
The show's transformation is certainly geared toward motivating its retail buyer-attendees and improving the show's experience. As GLM stated in announcing the new branding and format in January, this effort is an attempt to communicate to buyers "an imperative to participate." And for those who do participate, the show's reorganization is targeted at making NY Now a more attractive show to shop.
"The creation of four broad collections … and the related reorganization of the exhibit floor will better showcase the show's diverse range of design-driven products," Falkenberg said. "The dynamic new layout will make it easy and efficient for buyers to find a depth of resources, as well as to source complementary categories."
Along with redesigning the show's layout, GLM has extended NY Now's hours of operation. This month, the show will run from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 18, and Monday, Aug. 19, allowing buyers extra time to shop the reformatted show.
Another new feature of note is nynow365.com, the show's image-based online product directory. According to the most recent count, the site has information about more than 27,000 products from more than 700 exhibitors at this month's show. As of June, according to Falkenberg, "More than 25 percent of the show's 2,800-plus exhibitors have posted product images and information to the site, and nearly 1,500 retailers have registered to use the site."
GLM has been integrating nynow365.com with registration for NY Now. By the time the show opens this month, the site is expected to include information about more than 1,000 exhibitors and 35,000 products. More than 10,000 retailers are projected to be registered and actively using the site by the end of this year.
One aspect of the show that hasn't changed is the slate of educational offerings on tap for this month. More than 40 seminars are on the schedule, preceded by a free NY Now webinar that will provide an online tutorial of the show's layout and setup, along with general tips for first-time visitors. This webinar is slated for Aug. 8.
The Handmade section will include six "power hour" sessions that will cover topics such as social media, publicity, video marketing and others. In the Home section, seminars will provide information on topics such as home design trends, visual merchandising strategies and a preview of emerging colors.
The sessions in the Lifestyle section will deal with topics such as visual merchandising and directions for fashion, home and lifestyle design, along with guest appearances by authors Susan Spengen, Kathryn Petras and Jennifer S. Holland, all of whom have published books on lifestyle trends. In the New section, seminars will offer insights into technology, online marketing and social media.
The reaction to the reconfigured show has GLM in an optimistic frame of mind. "Preshow reactions have been overwhelmingly positive," Falkenberg said. "There is an understanding of the overall benefits of reorganization and its overall positive impact for the market."
Some of this reaction has come from GLM's efforts in talking about all of the aspects of the new NY Now, Falkenberg said. "We've been communicating news of the changes to buyers for several months now, and they're excited," he said. "But the biggest reaction from them will come when they experience the show's new layout and its new look. We think they'll be really wowed with the physical changes."

Right Whale Conservation
Two of the three species of the right whales are considered species which may be endangered with extinction due to intensive trade. This is what led different countries in the world and whose jurisdictional waters host the right whale to introduce specific regulations regarding the hunting of these whales and protection against primary hazards. The United States and Brazil were among the first such countries to introduce enhanced protection for right whales in the early 2000s. Although the environmental agencies arguing for the animals' protection were quite happy with the new rules, they had tried to push for more action. They requested speed limits for ships when there was a known right whale presence. On the other hand, the protection against excessive trading was not as successful as envisaged. In 2006 the National Ocean and Atmosphere Association in the United States introduced the speed limit required by the environmentalists back in the day. Ever since 2008 there have been quite strict rules regarding to the speed that ships were allowed in difference ranges of the shore or ports or on the ocean when more than three whales could be observed swimming. The efficiency of this measure is still to be seen.
In the southern hemisphere, the right whale benefits from similar degrees of protection especially in what concerns countries such as Brazil, New Zeeland, South Africa, Uruguay, Argentina and Australia all of which are known for large breeding populations. However, the right whale in the southern hemisphere although is being listed as an endangered species, it is considered a lower risk conservation dependent. In many of these countries, official bodies with the aim of ensuring protection for the right whales have been created. A good example for such an action is the establishment of the Environmental Protection area, a federal body created in Brazil.

I absolutely LOVE this product..however not as a blush. I use this as a highlighter and it works perfectly. I apply a little cream highlighter and pat this over the top for a beautiful glow. It has pink shimmer and is very sheer so it works perfectly and for the price...you can't beat it.

Like the previous reviewer, I am NC15 and agree that this blush comes off orange on paler skin. However, I like it for summer use and think it looks really pretty with the mark. Bronze Pro bronzer. I'm wearing it today, actually. Mark's blushes can't be beat for price vs. pigmentation and staying power, so I'm a big fan.

The texture and application is great. pigmentation is great like other mark blushes howevcer I don't like how shimmery this on my skin. it looks really frosty for some reason and fake. Also the color in the pan is not what I get on my cheeks. I'm NC15 and this shows up orangey on my face. I have come to realize that peach,neutral blushes all look orange on me and I'm now going to use cool tone shades and blue pink blushes from now on. Won't repurchase.

I really like this blush, I find myself using it almost daily! The color is a nice pinky peachy beige, a very natural glow. I like the packaging but I don't like how the blush comes in a flimsy plastic thing and you have to pay extra for the snap compact with the mirror. It seems like a gimmic to make more money or something. Overall the color is so nice, i love how it gives me that natural glow!

I got this blush a few weeks ago and I really like it so far. It has squares of shimmery pink, bronze and peach and blends together to give my fair skin a great glow. You can layer it to get more color, but the first application is sheer. It doesn't irritate my skin or give me breakouts, which is always a plus. As always, I love pretty much everything from mark.

This is one of my new favorite good glowing blushes. It seems to give me the most natural glow of all the good glowing blushes. For my light skin, it's an absolute perfect shade. It isn't too harshly pink, but it isn't too orangey or muddy like some bronzers tend to be. For me, it gives me a slightly sunkissed look and a nice glow. One day, I skipped foundation and applied Hush Baby right after my moisturizer, and it gave me a fresh, dewy look. I highly recommend this Good Glowing shade! Looks amazing paired with the Skinny Dip Dew Drenched lip color by mark, as well as Lilith Liquid liner and a bit of mascara. A nice, natural look. Enjoy, ladies!

Passion is crucial to a meaningful life yet popular culture confuses the function of passion in our lives with the many seductive messages of material wealth we are fed i.e. income, status, fame & success. We are pushed off course by the idea that passion is a precious commodity we only feel in life's climatic moments - everything else in life is a build-up or an anticlimax.
As children we have stereotyped image of passion – an imaginary world where we become a part of daring adventures, intensity of desire, winning the game, being swept off our feet, etc. But as adults, our ideas become more specific (if not always realistic) and we dream of winning the lottery, rising to the top of the career ladder, reciprocated romance with someone we desire, etc.
In our everyday routine lives some people come to believe that passion is something that only happens to other people and become mere spectators to passion, consuming it through movies, TV, books, magazines & other media that package life into bite-sized portions. Often the ideas they portray are perversions of genuine feeling, examining only the extremes of human emotion and elevating them to the highest point of 'passion'.
Most TV commercials are aimed solely at connecting our fantasies with our ability to acquire & purchase the products they promote, with alarming success. Even if we are not materially deprived, we often live with a fear of losing all we have gained & an anxiety that our personal happiness may be snatched away at any time.
Passion is not an event - it is an energy that already exists inside each one of us. The question is not whether we have it but whether we access it & how we channel it.
Passion has a positive (nourishing) energy and a negative (denying) energy. The positive enhances the experience of being present and thrives on ethical substance: a job well done, giving credit to others, fixing something that was broken, helping someone in need, finding power in doing the right thing. The negative facilitates the experience of "escape" and responds to quick fix theories: anger, gossip, impulse behaviour, junk food, selfishness, laziness etc.
For many of us the journey to uncovering our heart's passion may appear to be an endless search, especially if we feel we don't have access to the necessary "keys" to success – resources, contacts, influence, etc.
Whatever our passion we will encounter obstacles & detours but the challenge is to get beyond these barriers.
From an occupational perspective, we often experience an artificial dividing line between Work & Life, in terms of being pragmatic rather than passionate. Yet those who develop a passion for their work gain pleasure from it and are rewarded with satisfactions that do not fade away. Whether well paid or not, the greatest satisfactions are those that involve reaching out to others, trying to make things better, and this is not limited to professions or occupations that are primarily dedicated to public good.
If you think of your job as the only means to pay the rent, feed and clothe your children, etc. then you may be invalidating your life simply by undermining the possibility of living passionately. And sacrificing passion is a kind of psychic suicide.
But if you wake up and feel strongly, passionately about one or several aspects of your life, you are already on the road to the only success that really matters.

This is one of the best iconic design sites I`ve seen on the web yet. Great work guys.
this is a very nice site.
I'm wandering if is there a way to get your icons in white symbol color with transparent background for coloring on the fly ?
I wonder if there is a way to hook up with the folks at http://thenounproject.com/ so that users here can select a noun from that project and get a marker. Might be good press for both projects.
Is there a way to use two colours in the symbol?
Is there a way to get SVG instead of PNG
You can export PNG from your SVG drawing. Try to select your icon and perform File → Export Bitmap (Chtl+Shift+E) if you use Inkscape.
