- Don't complain about lack of options. You've got to pick a few when you do multiple choice. Those are the breaks.
- Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.
- This whole thing is wildly inaccurate. Rounding errors, ballot stuffers, dynamic IPs, firewalls. If you're using these numbers to do anything important, you're insane.

Sanctimonious people making a statement?
Let's face it, many folks with strong beliefs have this "beleive the way I do or you're damned!"
It's all about their pathetic little egos. Sure, they'll wrap it up with some rationalization like, "It's to keep you healthy!" or "It's to save your soul!" but in the end, the more folks who believe the way they do, the more comfortable that they are "right".
Let's put it this way, if you truly know that you are right, you STFU knowing that the truth will show itself. Example, eating too much animal products do have some negative effects on one's health. That's why moderation is important. Go cold turkey (pun accidental)? That's more of a personal value judgement than one backed by data - although, I have seen some compelling data that doesn't make the Vegan crowd look so kooky.
As far as the religous example goes, if you have to proselytize then you don't truly believe.
A Buddhist once explained to me why they don't proselytize. "We work on changing ourselves and as we become less angry, attached, more calm, and happier, and if someone asks us "what has changed?" then we tell them about our Buddhist practice.
That explains why they aren't such pains in the asses like the Mormons, Jehova's, and every other Christian cult that insists on annoying me at home.

No. They agree there was a man named Jesus who acquired a cult following of mostly illiterate, superstitious people who lived over 2000 years ago. Basically nothing more spectacular than the David Copperfield or L. Ron Hubbard of his time, except more people were gullible back then. Pretty much everything ancient people thought they saw of trolls and goblins and nymphs and mares and yetis and the Loch Ness monster is bogus. Everyone they thought used magic like witches and wizards and warlocks and sorcerers is bogus.

HEREDIA, COSTA RICA -- Robbie Keane has dealt with his fair share of hostile environments throughout his career and on Thursday, he'll lead the LA Galaxy into another as they head to the volatile Estadio Eladio Rosabal Cordero to take on Herediano in the CONCACAF Champions League quarterfinals first leg.
A rowdy crowd is expected when the two teams take the field, but LA already got a taste of the reception they'll receive at kick off upon landing in San Jose on Tuesday evening. Keane has scored in hostile environments in CCL play in the past as he tallied in LA's controversial defeat to Monarcas Morelia in Mexico during the group stages of the 2011-2012 tournament.
Ahead of the quarterfinal first leg, the Galaxy captain admits that his club must rise to the occasion.
"It's good, it's something that you should relish and it's always good to get a little bit of stick from the fans because it keeps you concentrated," Keane told reporters at the team hotel on Thursday. "It's a good opportunity for us. It's going to be a tough game and we know that with everything that surrounds it. [The series] is 180 minutes and we have to be clever in our approach and think about the bigger picture rather than tomorrow's game."
But will the hostile crowd get under Keane's skin? Quite the opposite it seems.
"Obviously, the stadium is fairly small and you'll be able to hear everything that the fans are saying. Luckily, I don't understand Spanish so it is quite easy for me," Keane said. "It's good to play in these games. I really enjoy it and when the fans get a bit angry, you can wind them up a little bit. For me, I enjoy it."
The Galaxy may be focusing on the CONCACAF Champions League, but on Wednesday, MLS released the complete schedule for the MLS Reserve League.
LA will play ten matches in Reserve League play starting with a match against USL Pro side L.A. Blues on April 7 at Titan Stadium in Fullerton as part of the league's partnership with the third tier league, the Galaxy will face the Blues again on May 7 at The Home Depot Center. Other matches of note include a pair of matches against Chivas USA on July 22 and Oct. 7 and a match against the San Jose Earthquakes on Sept. 8.
HEREDIA, COSTA RICA – Marcelo Sarvas' return to Costa Rica has been headline news locally this week and amid all the attention, the Brazilian midfielder and several of his teammates had an opportunity to give back to the community.
Sarvas and his Galaxy teammates Omar Gonzalez, Sean Franklin and Juninho participated in a clinic with sponsored by the U.S. Embassy in Costa Rica, Herbalife and the Club Sport La Libertad Foundation. During the event, children from local youth soccer team Club Sport La Libertad were able to sign autographs, pose for pictures with the 2012 MLS Cup trophy as well as run through soccer drills with the players.
It was Sarvas who served as the catalyst for the event as he spoke to Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena about the potential for an event during LA's CONCACAF Champions League trip to face C.S. Herediano. Arena quickly agreed and the event was coordinated.
"It's something beautiful, when you live in a country like [Costa Rica] you know how important that some words for the students are," said Sarvas. "I think that it's very beautiful for Galaxy and Herbalife to do this and help these people. I'm sure that they had a beautiful day and they will keep this in their memory for a while."
Photos and video of the event are below…

HEREDIA, COSTA RICA -- The LA Galaxy touched down in Costa Rica on Tuesday evening ahead of their CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinal first leg against C.S. Herediano.
The Galaxy were met at the airport by a group of Herediano supporters who chanted at the team as they entered their club bus. The group even had their own chant for LA midfielder Marcelo Sarvas, who scored a goal against Herediano in the 2011 Invierno final. LA hit the training ground tomorrow afternoon.

To get a better feel for C.S. Herediano and the conditions that the LA Galaxy will face in Costa Rica, I spoke to Juan Carlos Aguero, a columnist for Fox Deportes in Costa Rica
Check out my chat with the Costa Rican reporter below…
LA GALAXY INSIDER "Herediano recently underwent a coaching change. How has the team changed? What info can you provide on the new coach?"
AGUERO: "Since the coaching change, Heredia has become more offensive, they changed the game strategy to 4-4-2 and cut off the double 5. The trainer, Marvin Solano likes to have the possession of the ball in every minute of the game."
LAGI: "Which Herediano players should Galaxy fans be aware of?
AGUERO: "Yendrick Ruiz is the main scorer of the team, and on the Costa Rica league, he has scored six times [this season], he is a very talented player and really fast, he likes to play on the outside. Meanwhile, Ismael Gomez and Elias Aguilar create the game in the midfield, Gomez is a lefty and his specialty is set pieces, he is actually the most important weapon with Heredia [on set pieces]. Aguilar in the other side is very good with shots from outside the area and he has a great vision of game— both are very good with physical game."
LAGI: "What is the perception of the Galaxy in Costa Rica?"
AGUERO: "The Galaxy is the team who has many followers in Costa Rica, the quality of the players is something to admire, also the Galaxy is the MLS Cup Champion at the moment and they have a lot of respect for them."
LAGI: "How important is the Champions League to this team and teams in the Costa Rican league?"
AGUERO: "The tournament is very important to the team in terms of international prestige, Costa Rican teams look forward to play this tournament and want win it—even though it's really hard due to the level of opponents."
LAGI: "How important was it for Herediano to defeat Real Salt Lake in the group stage?"
AGUERO: "It was very important because they are aware they can compete with the MLS teams knowing they have more facilities and the game level is higher."
LAGI: "Will there be a lot of focus paid on LA midfielder Marcelo Sarvas, who scored a game winner against Herediano in a cup final?"
AGUERO: "Yes, Sarvas scored in the [Invierno] final, and many [Herediano fans] claim that goal was offside, so he is not very accepted among Heredia fans."
LAGI: "Can you talk about the Eladio Rosabal Cordero Stadium? What are the conditions like and what is the fan support like? Should a sell-out be expected?"
AGUERO: "Eladio Rosabal Cordero Stadium is actually very small, but there are some areas on the stadium that doesn't have fences, so the Heredia fans can be feel really close and they are very intense and passionate for their team."
CARSON, Calif. -- No LA Galaxy player is more familiar with CONCACAF Champions League opponent C.S. Herediano than Marcelo Sarvas.
The Galaxy's Brazilian midfielder was one of the centerpieces of L.D. Alajuelense sides that won the 2010-2011 Verano and 2011-2012 Invierno titles in the Costa Rican Primera division. Along the way, Liga tussled repeatedly with Herediano, but the most decisive clash came as both teams battled for the Invierno title. In the decisive second leg, Sarvas scored (watch the video below at the :10 mark) as Liga advanced past Herediano in a penalty kick shootout -- Sarvas scored there as well -- to win their second title in three seasons.
Ahead of a vital first leg, Sarvas expects Herediano to to attack from the opening whistle.
"I'm pretty sure that they will press us from the first minute," said Sarvas. "They will come very aggressive against us because it's the way that they make things happen there in Costa Rica. It's nothing with organization with possession. You go aggressive, you play hard and play tough. It's the way that they make things happen."
LA will not only face an aggressive opponent, but they'll also deal with the close quarters at the Estadio Eladio Rosabal Cordero, which seats 15,000 people and boasts a FieldTurf surface that Sarvas says is "between Portland and Seattle" in terms of quality.
But what reaction does Sarvas expect when he walks onto the field on Thursday?
"It'll be very hostile," said Sarvas. "[The goal came in a] final game so it is something memorable so I don't expect anything nice for me."
CARSON, Calif. -- At Sunday's LA Galaxy regular season opener against the Chicago Fire, MLS commissioner Don Garber was on hand to pass out LA's MLS Cup championship rings.
After the ceremony, Garber conducted several interviews with the media including an interview with Time Warner Cable SportsNet and a halftime chat with print media.
The main topic of conversation during interview that was the state of the Galaxy's in-stadium rival Chivas USA, but reporters also touched on LA's season opener being broadcast nationally on Univision, Landon Donovan and other topics.
Garber's comments are below...
(On Chivas USA's poor attendance on opening weekend…)
GARBER: "When we launched Chivas USA, the idea was to have a team to be different and to cater to the Mexican American population in Southern California. It hasn't really been able to deliver on that vision since 2005. We went through ownership mediation -- Jorge Vergara and Angelica [Fuentes] took it over and they got a plan. It's the first game of a long season. We're certainly hopeful that it will improve. This is a market that needs, in my opinion, two teams and two different teams. We're hopeful that they'll be able to deliver on that."
(On whether or not there is concern that Chivas could become a farm team for C.D. Guadalajara...)
GARBER: "Not in any way. Remember where we were, we were hoping to get more Chivas de Guadalajara players in here from the beginning and we weren't able to do that for whatever reason. Now we've been able to do that and the players have been here for a couple weeks now. What I would encourage everybody to have is a bit of patience. They have an idea, they have a plan and we're hopeful that plan will be successfully executed. I think they need to do better in the execution. I think they need to put some real good resources on the administrative side and get really focused. The league has been assisting them and we have one of our club services guys working with them on the ticketing side to help understand the best practices that are going on with our other clubs. We're both hopeful that it will get better and we'll work hard to make sure that it does."
(On what difference between Chivas USA's plan in 2013 and in 2005...)
GARBER: "I think that they're executing on it and they didn't execute in 2005. We had [Francisco] Palencia, Claudio [Suarez] and a handful of players [from Guadalajara], but it didn't really get executed and they never really committed to it. [Former owners] Antonio and his brother [Lorenzo Cue] were the managing owners of the club and I am very close to them and they believed that there was more of an opportunity to have a more general market MLS team. There was not much of an identity difference between that team and any other MLS club. Jorge and Angelica believes that there is an opportunity to make a difference and they bought the team and they're going to deliver on that plan. What I would encourage everyone to do is, give them a shot, give them some time. The league is going to be very focused with them and we have made great process in this league in so many different areas and we're going to ensure that they're successful as well."
(On how patient the league can be with them...)
GARBER: "Listen, it's the first game. How patient? More than the first game...we're going to be focused to try to work with them and give them some resources internally to help them get better. We're going to spend more time with them to help them understand that operating a team with a difference is good, but they still need to understand that this is a traditional American sports market and they need to sell tickets, you need television deals and relationships, you need to have active sponsors who are going to promote and market your brand. You look at what the Galaxy have been able to do and it's a good model. They have to execute better."
(On whether Chivas is limiting themselves by marketing simply to Spanish speakers…)
GARBER: "I think they have the right and there is an opportunity for them to have a different brand position. It's not just Spanish speakers per say, but more targeted to a Hispanic audience. Having different brands and a different identity is a good thing because you don't want all your teams to look and feel alike. What I would say is, let's give them some time. If we're here in June or July and we're having the same issues that we're talking about right now, this might be a different conversation."
(On the Galaxy being shown on Univision nationally as opposed to an English language network...)
GARBER: "We have a great partner in Univision. They're as important to us as any of our other broadcast partners in terms of what they pay for those rights and the market that they can reach. This is the first time that we've really gone out and given them a great game to try and support that relationship. We're excited about that…There are 50 million people in this country that are watching Univision and connecting with the sport in the Spanish language and I'm not even remotely apologetic about that. It's a big part of the league's strategy."
(On whether he was concerned with Chivas USA not having a local television partner…)
GARBER: "Concerned is probably not the right word. They need to get on local television. By the way, it's a requirement so they have to work hard to get a deal done and they haven't been able to that yet. But they're going to need to get that done; it's a requirement for them."
(On whether the league was consulted about Landon Donovan's leave of absence from the Galaxy…)
GARBER: "Consulted is probably not the right word. It's more that we were communicated with. I spent some time with Landon and I think I talked about that during my State of the League [address] last week. I'm very sympathetic for what Landon is going through. That guy has had the responsibility of this sport on his shoulders for a longtime. He's been an unbelievable ambassador for [MLS], for our national team, for every kid that loves the game. If he needed to take a breather, that's his right. He's not getting paid during that time period, but I feel for what he's going through and I'm really excited for when he comes back."
(On whether there are minimum standards that MLS sets for its franchises in terms of attendance and investment…)
GARBER: "It's less about minimum standards. It's not a specific amount of money. Every market is different and every ownership group has different resources. AEG can spread it all around [with] 28,000 employees where Vergara doesn't have that opportunity. But what we do, do is we work with all our clubs and understand what they're spending, understand what resources they're applying. And try to help them figure out decisions that they're making are good decisions or whether not they should be different. The league is engaged in that process. I've seen across the twittersphere that the league should come in and do something [with Chivas USA]. Well, these are teams that are owned by individual investors, they're governed by the league and what we can do is help them get better and try to work with them to understand the different challenges that they face. Listen, this is not the first team in Major League Soccer's 18 years that we've had challenges with. They turn around. We had this conversation in Kansas City a number of years ago and [Sporting Kansas City] is one of the banner franchises in our league and I would hold it up to almost any professional soccer team in the world. There was time where we've had similar discussions like this so we'll get this right."
The LA Galaxy's back-to-back MLS Cup win was selected as the No. 2 Sports Moment of 2012 at the 8th Annual LA Sports Awards on Sunday.
The Galaxy's MLS Cup win was second only to the Los Angeles Kings' first-ever Stanley Cup victory over the New Jersey Devils in June. AEG President and CEO Tim Leiweke was also presented with the 2012 Sports Executive of the Year award.
The LA Sports Awards are presented annually by the Los Angeles Sports Council, which celebrates the greatest sports moments of the year in the Los Angeles and Orange County area.
Prime Ticket will televise the awards show on Sunday, March 10 at 9:30 p.m. PST.
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy may have started their MLS regular season campaign with a bang and a 4-0 victory over the Chicago Fire on Sunday, but by Monday morning, they needed to shift their focus to Thursday's CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinal first leg against CS Herediano in Costa Rica on Thursday.
The CCL provides no shortage of challenges: whether it is hostile crowds, poorly maintained fields or inconsistent officiating, but over the past two years, the Galaxy have attempted to alleviate the effects of one challenge—lengthy international travel—by traveling on a chartered flight.
LA travel to Costa Rica on Tuesday, but rather than board a commercial flight for the five hour and a half hour journey, LA will travel via charter to San Jose, Costa Rica. The conditions are far different than traveling on a commercial flight -- think no screaming babies in aisle seats -- but is traveling charter really a difference for the players than a cross-country trip in MLS?
"It cuts off two and a half hours of the travel if not more, just waiting around for petty little things to get done," said Galaxy midfielder Michael Stephens. "It's not bad, it's definitely better than a cross-country flight to New York on a commercial flight. It shouldn't be too bad; they take good care of us."
Does that mean that they'll be more rested once they touch down in Central America?
"As rested as you can be for being on a five and a half hour flight," Stephens admitted. "It's a big difference than if we were flying commercial. I think we're lucky…the way the [team] takes care of us is very good."
The first LA Galaxy game of the season is complete and now it's time for the first edition of "Ask the Insider" of 2013.
Unlike last year, those looking to participate can do so on the comments section below rather than on the Galaxy Facebook page.
The winning recepient will have their question answered later this week and will win two tickets to see the Galaxy take on Herediano in the CONCACAF Champions League Quarterfinal Second Leg on Wednesday, March 13.

Novi Zagreb finally got off the mark in Group C of the EuroLeague Women as they recorded their first win of the season at the fifth attempt, topping USO Mondeville 82-60.
After the long wait, the victory seemed to come fairly easily as they broke open the game with a huge third quarter and cruised to the finish.
Matea Vrdoljak had 20 points to lead them there while Mirna Mazic added 15 and Leilani Mitchell and Latoya Williams added 11 each.
They might have been fearing another night of frustration as Mondeville jumped out to an 8-2 lead on an early Marie Mbuyamba jump-shot, but Williams replied with a three-pointer as they hit seven straight to take the lead.
It was an advantage they would hold almost the entire rest of the game but Mondeville stuck around and were within one, 33-32, when Binta Drammeh hit a pair of free throws late in the second quarter.
But Zagreb then scored the final six points of the half and the first four of the third quarter to lead 43-32 on Mitchell's three-pointer.
An 11-2 spurt then put them 54-36 up on Mitchell's free throws and all of a sudden it was looking easy for the hosts.
They would only continue to pull away and seven unanswered points gave them a 76-49 bulge with three minutes to go.
Amanda Lassiter led Mondeville with 21 points while Ingrid Tanqueray added 10.

- "Project" means one project of a solution defined by a ".csproj" file.
- "Assembly" means a compiled project of a solution (dll or executable).
Your .NET solution must be compiled if you want to use the following plugins:
- FxCop
- Gendarme
- Gallio
- NDeps
If your solution is not compiled (or if you do not want to use some of the external tools for your analysis), you can deactivate them:
Best Practice
SonarQube's primary goal is to analyze source code, so everything has been made to work seamlessly after the compilation of a solution. In other words, if you have a build process that moves the assemblies and package your application, it is definitely best to run SonarQube before (or in a separate process).
It is highly recommended to run the analysis from within the folder containing the solution file.
If any of those best practises is not followed, you will likely face issues and over-complicated configuration of your analysis.
Running a Simple Analysis
SonarQube Runner (Recommended Way)
Create a sonar-project.propeties file and place it in the same folder as the solution file (.sln):sonar-project.properties
Run the following command from the solution directory:
A sample project is available on GitHub that can be browsed or downloaded: /projects/languages/csharp/csharp-sonar-runner.
If you are familiar with Maven, you can use the maven-dotnet-plugin to compile and package .NET solutions. If you also use a Continuous Integration server (such as Jenkins) on Java Maven projects, you can use the maven-dotnet-plugin to handle .NET projects the same way.
Create a pom.xml file and place it in the same folder as the solution file (.sln):
If you want to use Maven to compile and run the tests of your Visual Studio solution, you also need to declare the maven-dotnet-plugin. Please take a look at the examples provided on the maven-dotnet-plugin site.
Run the following command from your Solution folder:
Path Patterns
Always use "/" instead of "\" (even if it looks weird on a Windows box).
When noted as so, Ant style wildcard patterns can be used.
* means any files or any directories.
** means any directories and subdirectories:
Special expressions can be used in path patterns:
|Root directory of the solution, this is the directory where the ".sln" file is located.

Advanced Usage
Setting the .NET SDK to use
To set the default version of the .NET SDK to be used, log in as a System administrator and go to Settings > Configuration > General Settings > .NET and set the
sonar.dotnet.version property. Note that you can override this default value in your analysis configuration file (sonar-project.properties ou pom.xml).
The same parametrization is available for the Silverlight Framework:
sonar.silverlight.version property.
Setting exclusions
By default, the generated code is excluded from the analysis (Reference.cs or *.designer.cs files):
sonar.dotnet.excludeGeneratedCode is set to
To exclude projects, use the
sonar.skippedModules property. It is a comma-separated list of project names. The names that must be used are the identifiers in the solution file: first string right after the equals sign on a project definition.
To exclude files, see Project Administration.
On some specific resources, you can also prevent issues to be raised against a set of coding rules: see the Switch Off Violations plugin.
Detecting issues with external tools
See FxCop, Gendarme and StyleCop.
Unit tests, integration tests and code coverage
See C# Unit Tests, Integration Tests and Code Coverage.
Architecture check
See NDeps plugin.
Analysis succeeds but too few issues are found
Some tools like FxCop or Gendarme require assemblies. Having too few issues most often comes from the following reasons:
- The solution has not been compiled prior to the SonarQube analysis
- The solution has been compiled but the corresponding assemblies have been moved somewhere else (because of a specific build process) and SonarQube cannot find them
- The solution has been compiled and the assemblies have not been moved, but the whole solution folder has been moved to another location (and therefore the debug PDB files no longer point to the original source locations)
I cannot place the analysis configuration file in the directory containing my solution
Before following this workaround, make sure that you've got strong reasons not to put the analysis configuration file into the folder containing the solution. Note that this workaround may lead to further tricky configuration and issues.
SonarQube cannot retrieve the assemblies
Note that it is strongly recommended to run a standard debug compilation build prior to any SonarQube analysis. Indeed, release mode is optimized and some tools such as Gendarme will not be able to find as many issues as they will with debug code.
The configuration defined to build the solution will be used to locate the assemblies during the analysis. Two properties are taken into account:
sonar.dotnet.buildConfigurationproperty (default value is
sonar.dotnet.buildPlatformproperty (default value is
Any CPU)
If the assemblies have been moved (that is not recommended at all prior to running a SonarQube analysis), you can tell SonarQube where to find them through the
sonar.dotnet.assemblies property. It is a comma-separated list of path patterns to the assemblies. These paths are relative to the directories containing the "csproj" files.
SonarQube C# parser known limitations
- Pre-processing directives are not supported
- Parsing errors may occur with the '?' operator in specific circumstances (e.g. http://old.nabble.com/Problem-with-C--Squid-sensor-tt32091064.html#a32091064)
How can I integrate SonarQube in my existing TFS Build environment processes?
Most people want to add SonarQube as an additional step in existing processes, which usually brings a lot of troubles because those processes manipulate assemblies - whereas the SonarQube C# plugins rely best on information found in the source files (mostly "csproj" files).
Generally speaking, it's best / easier to set up a separate "continuous inspection" process that just:
- Compiles the solution
- Runs a SonarQube analysis
in order to keep the SonarQube-related configuration as simple as possible.
You can read this thread to see how this has been achieved by C# plugin users.
Why do I get MSBuild error such as "error MSB4126: The specified solution configuration "Debug|HPD" is invalid"?
You are using a 64-bit windows OS. There is an environment variable "Platform=HPD" that makes msbuild fail. Try to run:
On Windows 7 I get "The Silverlight 3/4 SDK is not installed" error message
64-bit msbuild cannot be used with Silverlight. Check that you are not using a 64-bit msbuild by taking a look at
dotnet.3.5.sdk.directory properties. "Framework64" should not be present in the path.
The analysis fails with an OutOfMemory exception
The Java process performing the analysis might need more memory. Use the "-Xmx" option to specify the amount of memory that can be used. See the SonarQube Runner documentation for more details

HAVELOCK – Havelock senior running back Derrell Scott was restricted to the sidelines last Friday night in the Rams' 28-16 win over Richlands.
This week versus Jacksonville, he was right back cutting and slashing between the lines, in a 42-0 shutout victory over the Cardinals.
Scott rushed 21 times for 174 yards and four touchdowns to lead Havelock to a 7-0 record and their third victory over the Cardinals over the past year.
Havelock has outscored Jacksonville in those last three meetings by a combined score of 130-12.
"All of the credit has to go to my offensive line. They opened up the holes and I couldn't do it without those boys," Scott said.
"It felt great getting back out there after sitting last week. I love football so much and to be back 100 percent, it felt great."
Havelock won its 21st consecutive game dating all the way back to its loss in week two to New Bern in 2012.
"Last week, I felt like we got pushed around and some people were doubting how good we were," Havelock coach Jim Bob Bryant said.
"This past Saturday, we hit the sleds at 7:45 a.m. and I told the kids I wanted to win every game from here on out by at least 28 points. Scoring 42 tonight against a very good Jacksonville team was a statement for us."
Havelock led 14-0 at the half off two of Scott's scampers.
In the third quarter, the Rams outscored the Cardinals 28-0 and the offense didn't take the field until the 7:35 mark.
Julian Cuthbertson returned a punt that bounced off his back 49 yards to the house and Keion Joyner scooped up a Jermaine Linton fumble and took it 67 yards for six points.
"After I scooped up the ball, I kept looking back to see how close they were to catching me," Joyner said. "I think we came together tonight and everyone did their job."
Jacksonville quarterback Vincent Siders, who suffered a torn ACL prior to the start of the season, started at quarterback and gave his best, but the Rams' defense was too fast and strong.
Joyner, Matt Boykin and Andrew Ramirez had interceptions for Havelock, two of which led to Havelock touchdowns. Jacksonville head coach Beau Williams pulled Siders shortly after halftime in favor of Exelman Adams and Colt Allen.
"I thought Vincent still had it even with the injury and he wanted to go in this game to maybe get noticed and all, but coming out after halftime and giving up two big plays, it really killed us from there," Williams said.
"We have to play better and cut down mental mistakes and we have West Carteret coming up next week and that game is going to be bigger than this one was."
Havelock will host Swansboro next week at Rams Stadium at 7 p.m.

Great summer shoe. I have had them for about 4 weeks and they have seen quite some use. It is lightweight, very comfortable and felt good on my feet from the very first time I tried them on. Seems to be very good quality also. Time will tell I guess. At this point I would not have any hesitation purchasing another pair. Sizewise they are true to their size, at least for my feet.

Wow, what a unique pair of shoes!. I had been searching for something really different for my son to wear to work. He's the harbor master at our local marina. When I showed him the picture he gave me a thumbs-up! They look just as advertised and are super comfortable. When it comes to boat shoes (or shoes in general), nothing can beat the Sebago!

Speaking in his final press conference as Springbok captain, John Smit said he won't allow the disappointment of a quarter-final exit to tarnish his memories.
Smit, capped 111 times for the Springboks, bowed out of Test rugby with a defeat to the Wallabies, but maintained perspective despite his patent deflation.
'I'm very sad. I wanted to win the final. But it would be silly of me to allow this result to tarnish seven years of great memories. I'm devastated, but I'm blessed. I'm proud to have been a Springbok,' he said.
'The important thing is that I had an influence on the guys I played with. If you want to talk about a legacy, I hope that in future years the guys who have played with me will look back and ask: "What would Smitty have done" on and off the field.'
Smit joins Victor Matfield and potentially Fourie du Preez, who told SA Rugby magazine in an interview before the World Cup, that the global showpiece would be his last for the Springboks, as senior players to call time on decorated international careers.
Asked about the impact of those departures on the potency of the Springboks in short-term, Smit said: 'There are a couple of the boys who are not going to play again, which is sad. But if you look at what their replacements are like, I'm encouraged. Bismarck [du Plessis] will come in for me, Andries [Bekker] will replace Victor. Those are very good players and there are others in other positions.'
Smit was lavish in his praise of vice-captain and long-time team-mate Matfield. 'Victor has been brilliant as a lineout tactician, but his leadership and how he lifts those around him by his presence cannot be overstated. In my opinion he is the greatest Springbok that ever has been,' he said.
Wallabies coach Robbie Deans paid tribute to the duo. 'They are two excellent servants of the game. They are best described as men who commanded huge respect from their opponents and there's nothing better in the game than that,' he said.

Who's Online:
A series about 3 friends who engage in black magic and how does this decision influence their lives. The price for power and knowledge is sometimes too high, yet what you pay for acts like a drug: once you've tasted it you cannot live without it anymore.
Focusing more on a young Dunadan girl who moves to Bree with her parents. Her mother, a powerful sorceress serving one of the Nazgul, tries to keep her beloved daughter away from fell magic but her advices are thrown aside. A dangerous spell makes the girl lose her soul and innocence. What is worse, she does not regret it.
She will cross paths with other 2 victims of Darkness and together they will do things beyond imagination in order to serve the Ringwraiths as best as they can.
The series begings 20 years before the War of the Ring.
In the midst of this, two young maidens, twins Elfhild and Elffled, are captured by orcs in a preliminary raid against Rohan. Their world destroyed, their fate uncertain, they face the bleak prospects of slavery in the lands of their enemies.
The Witch-king of Angmar and his fellows struggle and suffer to serve a mad God who both loves them and seeks to destroy them. In truth, they are no more fortunate than Elfhild and Elffled, for they, too, are in bondage, locked in a silent war for the freedom to live and love as they see fit.
The Dark Lord Sauron, a victim of His own lusts, wishes to possess Arda and encompass it in His twisted love. Obsessively, He craves the worship and adoration of all mankind, but His thirst for total dominion of mind and soul twists and perverts all His designs. His spirit weighed down with the frustrations of the ages, still He strives against the Valar to possess the world that He loves.
A tale of peasants and Powers; of masters and slaves; freedom and bondage; of adventure, mystery and intrigue; of wars and bloodshed; of love and loss; of spirits and magic and the unquiet dead.

An external hard drive can do several jobs in your home or office. It can provide a place to back up your files so they won't be lost if your computer's internal hard drive crashes. It can also expand your computer's storage capacity, giving you more room for large files such as digital video, high-resolution photos and music collections. Finally, these drives offer a simple way of sharing data between computers by simply unplugging the drive from one machine and plugging it into another. They're typically faster than online backup services (which are covered in their own report), and they allow you to keep your files under your control, rather than entrusting them to strangers.
External hard drives can use two different types of technology. Hard-disk drives (HDD) are mechanical, writing to and reading from spinning platters. This type of drive offers the advantage of higher storage capacity at a relatively low cost per gigabyte (GB). Solid-state drives (SSD), by contrast, use flash memory in place of spinning disks. Most SSD drives are internal, but external drives that use flash memory are becoming more available. SSDs are significantly faster than HDDs, as well as quieter and more compact. In addition, their lack of moving parts makes them less vulnerable to physical damage. On the downside, they're also considerably pricier, and at present, no consumer model can store more than a terabyte (TB) of data.
Different external hard drives excel at different tasks. Portable hard drives are designed to let you take your files on the go. They're compact, relatively inexpensive (about $75 for 1 TB of storage) and able to run off your computer's battery via a USB connection. Desktop hard drives are bigger and pricier (anywhere from $100 to $350), but they also come in larger capacities, making them more suitable for storing giant multimedia files. Some portable and desktop drives are ruggedly built to protect the data inside from all kinds of physical damage, from falls to floods.
Some drives specialize in working with more than one computer (or other device) at a time. Network-attached storage (NAS) drives can back up and share files across multiple computers on the same network. Wireless hard drives can add storage without the need for a physical connection; most can also stream content from the Internet to your devices via Wi-Fi. Wireless external hard drives cost more per TB than either desktop or portable drives; the best-rated 1-TB drives are in the $200 range.
To identify the best hard drives in each category, we consulted reviews from a variety of computer publications and websites, such as PCMag.com, CNET and Macworld. These sources conduct detailed, in-house tests of external hard drives to determine how fast they are at reading and writing various types of files. Reviewers also talk in detail about usability, evaluating the setup process, the software that comes with the drive, and the ease of using it with various types of third-party software. In addition, they offer comparisons of value, noting how a particular hard drive compares to others in its price range.
The one factor that professionals can't always evaluate is long-term durability. In the test lab, they can't usually spend a long enough time with an individual drive to see how it holds up over weeks or months of use. Thus, we turned to user reviews from retail sites such as Amazon.com and Newegg.com for information on reliability. By looking at the hundreds or, in some cases, thousands of individual reviews these sites provide for a specific model, we were able to spot those with a pattern of poor reliability.

Corrugated Aluminum Siding
For many years corrugated aluminum was used primarily for industrial, commercial and farm buiding purposes. As a siding and roofing material it is inexpensive and easy to find and install. The durable metal is no longer shunned by homeowners but is now being used to accent a home's exterior. A farmhouse style of home features a corrugated metal-sided bump out.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Outstanding quality and service
My daughters wedding was at a castle in Colorado making the Royal Emblem perfect. I ordered the table place cards first to check quality of product and design. It was OUTSTANDING. I then ordered the fans with the program printed on it. BUT IT WAS A VERY LATE ORDER. I explained my situation, and the fans were delivered 3 days early, and exactly what I ordered. The compliments on the fans and place cards were many. I cannot recommended this company enough. Magnetstreet will do all my future printing!
great save the date
My fiance and I loved this design and were so excited that we could put one of our engagement photos on the back. Pros: - arrived incredibly fast (like 5 days from order) - packaged nicely - sent more than I ordered for free (I have about 20 extras) - Excellent photo print quality - Paper is glossy and I don't know why this surprised me, but it looks great for the photo - VERY easy to customize - Inexpensive Cons: - I was a little disappointed with the print quality for the front side of the card (the Royal Emblem side) because it just seemed a little cheap We will be ordering the Royal Emblem invitation as well, which according to the sample have higher quality printing than the save the date :)
So pleased!
This product was ideal for me since I was looking for something unique and personal. I was able to customize my colors and my text, and there was a large variety of designs to choose from. I received my order quickly and with no mistakes. Thanks magnetstreet!
Excellent customer service
We received many compliments on the invitation, which is elegant yet modern.
These invitations were amazing. I received them in a timely matter and so far my guest have received them and had nothing but great things to say.

Gaston County commissioners could vote to merge their two largest departments in two weeks, potentially giving them more direct oversight on spending and other key decisions.
A vote will likely be taken Feb. 28 on whether to consolidate the Health Department and Department of Social Services. Before that, a public hearing will be held, allowing employees and concerned residents a chance to weigh in.
At least one Gaston leader said Thursday he'd rather proceed cautiously than jumping into the pool with a slew of other counties that are merging the two agencies.
"I'd like to sit back and learn from others' mistakes, and the good things they do, rather than rushing into it," said Commissioner Tom Keigher.
Others, including Commissioners Tracy Philbeck and Jason Williams, see this as an opportunity to lead the pack. Yet they also feel much consideration has already gone into the decision.
"This is something that's been looked at since far before I was on the board," said Williams, who took office last month. "This isn't something where three to four weeks ago we suddenly said, 'Hey, this is a good idea, let's move forward with it.'"
Proponents of a merger believe it would lead to cost savings. It could also improve services and convenience, they argue, because the majority of people who use the Health Department's services are also DSS clients.
The county's social services and health departments employ 375 and 205 workers, respectively. Both have multi-million-dollar budgets that depend largely on federal funds.
DSS serves more than 40,000 people through Medicaid, and more than 40,000 in food nutrition services, though some of those are duplicate clients.
The Health Department had more than 18,000 visits from unduplicated patients in 2012.
Both departments now have their own boards of directors, which are appointed by the commissioners. A merger would likely lead to layers being eliminated, such as through one consolidated health and human services board.
A team of county staff members recently visited Asheville to talk to Buncombe County officials about how a department merger has affected them since 2005.
Gaston County Assistant Manager Phil Ponder said Buncombe has estimated seeing $10 million in cost savings and cost avoidance in the last seven years.
Keigher said he's not opposed to consolidating anything if it's going to improve service and reduce cost. But he questioned those perceived cost savings.
"I think it's somewhat of a shell game, if you think we're going to see those kinds of savings," he said. "We've got two departments that are working very well, and from where I'm standing, they're doing it with budgets that are underfunded."
Williams emphasized that money isn't the only thing guiding the board's decision.
"I think we need to consider that it's more than just cost savings," he said. "It's also about providing better services to people in the county."
You can reach Michael Barrett at 704-869-1826 or twitter.com/GazetteMike.
Want to go? The Gaston County Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing Feb. 28 to discuss the consolidation of its Department of Social Services and Health Department, after which the commission is expected to vote on the matter. The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. at the Gaston County Courthouse, 325 N. Marietta St., Gastonia.

Choice of Vermont Farmers: Reliable, Rugged Milk House Heater
Milk House Heater 5 5
Met Every Expectation Needed a "chill chaser" after a small discount bin heater played out after 3 or 4 years. Thought our Tennessee winter was over in early March, so I was just going to wait until fall 2013 to buy something else. When I saw an extended forecast calling for overnight lows in the upper 20's, I decided to place an emergency order for the Dairy Barn Heater and boy am I glad I did. It works like a charm and is everthing I expected it to be. Now I'm warm & toasty in Tennessee!!! March 25, 2013
Perfect solution to a cold garage. 100% satisfaction guarantee is spot on! My original heater started making some strange noise that sounded like a possible electrical issue. I use it to heat my garage in the cold months, to keep my dog warm(er) while we are at work. I emailed customer service and they said send it back for a new replacement. This one is working perfectly...My dog thanks you! March 4, 2013
trust this because of safety features, warms up a room in no time I have a house with some rooms I don't regularly use in winter and don't heat as uninsulated. But when i want to make use of them I use this heater and they are as cozy as could be. Also depend upon this heater up in our cabin in the Adirondacks to take the chill off when we first arrive. December 10, 2012
Saved us one cold winter!!! Long ago, when I first moved to San Francisco, the only place i could afford to live while searching for work, was a two-room apartment which had broken radiators!! Until the owner could repair them,( he reduced my rent for a few months!) my mother ordered one of these heaters for me, out of the goodness of her heart!!! It made my place absolutely cozy and lasted for years!! Actually, it never wore out. I passed it on to a friend who needed some extra heat. So, as far as I know, 33 years later, it is still going strong!! November 7, 2012
HEATER WORKS GREAT -- KEEPS ME WARM! This is a great heater -- it keeps my drafty basement apartment in New Jersey warm. I like the fact that it has 2 settings and a temperature control knob so I can adjust the temperature if it gets too warm or not warm enough. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the temperature control does not enable me to specify a particular temperature (e.g., 70 degrees or 75 degrees); it's basically trial and error. Nonetheless, I am very happy with this heater, and it is an excellent value for a reasonable price. I recommend it warmly! November 6, 2012

What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Milk House Heater …
"It replaces the old milkhouse heater which was wearing out after 20 years!" - John A. Sherwood, Hobbs, NM
"Have carried this from place to place...for years! It never broke but one of my kids wanted it for his cold studio!!! Am re-ordering one for myself. This heater is just GOOD~!!! It may not look fancy but it is dependable and well made. I don't use it for anything but supplemental heating."- Mom, Sacramento, California
"We had one just like this when I was a kid...we would warm the bathroom up with it before baby bath time." - KH Brill, Bath, ME
