About Hollywood Undead
Hollywood Undead Tickets - Total Originality From HollywoodMany might think that music could never again be original. In fact, you'd find a lot of sampling from other artists all the time. It's part of the game. But when you come across something original, fanatical, and universal as the indomitable Hollywood Undead, you've got something exemplary. And, yes, that's a lot of big words there. Born in 2005 on the streets of Hollywood, California, the members of the Undead with their masks, hardcore hip-hop mentality, and interesting stage names -- such as J-Dog, Tha Producer, Charlie Scene, Johnny 3 Tears, Funny Man, Shady Jeff, and Da Kurlzz -- revitalized the music arena with their intensity, founded on MySpace, amazingly enough. Needless to say, Interscope Records got wind of them.
Hollywood Undead Tickets - Interesting Music? YesAnd that's an understatement. When Swan Songs came out in 2008, the singles struck a note with music lovers everywhere, prompting a second album released in March of 2011 entitled American tragedy. However, the Undead's journey to stardom is definitely not a tragedy by any measure.
Hollywood Undead Tickets - Musical Fusion at Its BestIt's like eating loads of candy -- without getting fat. The Undead bring to you sounds incorporated from styles of hip-hop, rock, and even some hardcore metal edges. That's a lot of fusion -- and exactly what the music industry would need. Something original. The Hollywood Undead are definitely that to a tee and now they are back at it so scroll above to check out Hollywood Undead tour dates.

The holidays may bring out the joy, but they can also bring out the worst in people. Someone stole 300 toys meant for children and families in need.
It's the true story of the grinch who stole Christmas.
A brightly lit symbol of Christmas at the East Cherry branch of the YWCA is now a symbol of something else. Despite all the decorations on it, it's what's missing under the Christmas tree that brings Community Resource coordinator Nichelle Hilton to tears.
Who would do that? Who would steal Christmas presents from homeless children? asked Hilton.
And not just presents to go under one tree, but hundreds of trees for families in need. Sometime over the weekend, someone stole all $6,000 worth of toys the Y had from this vacant unit at the shelter across the street.
Now it negatively is going to affect every child whose present was in this box, and that box, and the 50 other boxes that aren't here, said Hilton.
Holiday hearts once full are running on empty for Hilton and for YWCA resident Jessica Giles.
There's nothing in the budget to buy anything for Christmas so it's coming from stuff like this, said Giles. So I hope that doesn't mean there will be nothing for Christmas.
Santa's list is all they have to show for the 200 toys just bought but now, not delivered.
Just the idea they can't comprehend and they just think Santa didn't find them, that just kills me, said Hilton.
Jessica Giles is disappointed too, but is counting on the true meaning of Christmas-- love and family.
It's definitely humbling and heartbreaking. But I have great kids and they'd understand.
The E. Cherry YWCA has one week to try to recover all that was stolen and they need your help. They don't have time to do the shopping all over again. So if you'd like to drop of a toy or two, or several, families and volunteers will be forever grateful.
The East Cherry YWCA is located at 2820 E. Cherry St. You can also contact Nichelle Hilton directly at (206) 412-1605.

"Have you ever seen Willy Wonka?" Rodney Southerland asked, referencing the classic film about a magical chocolate factory. "Well, prepare to step into your imagination."
A step inside Southerland's old barn reveals intricate train sets he built himself, running through a room that has been transformed into a world of wonder.
"People think train set, they think a little track on the floor," Southerland said, "but it's much more than that, it's a miniature town."
Southerland turned his lifelong hobby and passion for trains into an exhibit that features custom-built train tables and multiple trains that actually existed traveling on tracks that run through the seasons. A single remote controls the speed, direction and even the sound of the trains.
After losing sight in one eye from an accident with a bungee cord, Southerland had to end his 20-year career as a truck driver. He used his time to pursue his passion for trains.
The rail yard is host to trains including the New York Central, the Empire State Express, The Polar Express, the Santa Fe Super Chief and the Burlington Northern, which still runs through town. These trains travel through the room from a Coca-Cola bottling plant in a snowy village, to an oil rig in the desert, to Dinah's Drive-In restaurant and Uncle Sam's fireworks stand in the summer, to Village Lanes bowling alley in a 1950s town.
"The layout's never finished," Southerland said, "so I'm able to stay creative and keep building."
Southerland is married and lives with his wife in their home in Burlington. The train exhibit is in the barn in their backyard.
"She's my inspiration in helping me build this and allowing me the time to do it," Southerland said. "She gets sick of it every now and then, but she likes it, especially the buildings."
The "back in the day" theme of the exhibit is evident by the antique decorations and knick-knacks mounted on the wood-paneled walls. A small, old-fashioned ice cream store inside that offers cookie sundaes and hand-spun milkshakes adds a refreshing touch. From the outside, the small building looks like an old country store, with a working pay phone and a vintage newspaper box.
"Railroads built America, so I'm most proud of the fact that there's history here," Southerland said. "And the nostalgic theme is what I was really going for."
Southerland can tell stories behind many of the pictures on the wall, including one that used to hang in his grandfather's house of an old blacksmith shop on a country road with a man inside who remarkably resembles his grandfather. Another shows a car on the N.Y. Central train that is a replica of a car from Elkhart, Ind., where Southerland grew up, that took his parents to New York City on their honeymoon.
"A lot of people don't know about this place," Southerland said, "but I'd love to give tours to people who are interested in trains and I think kids would really enjoy it."
Southerland is looking to share his passion for trains through the exhibit that cost more than $20,000 and took about three years to complete.
"The best part is that you actually build and learn and construct, not just sit around and press a button," Southerland said. "Kids don't really like to do that anymore, but when they see something like this, they are astonished."
Trains are a hobby that has been around for over 100 years and the exhibit proves that the passion, intrigue, and creativity that surround the hobby are still alive today.
"You're able to build anything you can imagine," Southerland said, "and seeing people's faces when they walk in for the first time, that makes it worth it."

Women's Basketball Wins Season-High Sixth-Straight with 87-68 Blowout Win at North Greenville; Cox Moves into 5th on All-Time Scoring List
February 7, 2013
TIGERVILLE, S.C. - Pfeiffer University senior Brittany Cox moved into 5th on the all-time scoring list after a 31-point performance during an 87-68 blowout victory at North Greenville in Conference Carolinas women's basketball action on Thursday night. Cox now stands at 1,464 points for her career, 50 points away from fourth all-time, as the Lady Falcons win their season-high sixth-straight improving to 17-3 overall, 12-3 in league play. The Crusaders drop their second-straight falling to 6-13, 4-11.
Tied at five early on the first half just three minutes in, Pfeiffer would immediately blow things open bursting out on a 23-5 run to take an 18-point, 28-10 lead after a pair of Jodie Lemons free throws. Lemons would also start the run with two from the charity stripe while Cox and Christina Harvey would chip in as well. A three-pointer at the end of the first half by North Greenville would cut the lead down to 42-28 at the break. Pfeiffer shot 40% from the field in the first half while limiting the Crusaders to 30% and 25% from behind the arc.
Pfeiffer continued to roll in the second half as Lemons start with two more free throws in the midst of a perfect 8-for-8 night at the free throw line. Cox would help push the lead into the 20's with a pair of her own free throws while later extending the lead to 22 at 57-35 with 15:47 left in the second. Lemons and Rhoney would each keep the large advantage at 21 late until a final two-point basket created the 19-point final margin.
Cox scored her 31 on 10-of-21 shooting from the floor knocking down four threes in the process. Harvey moved 19 points closer to joining the prestigious 1,000-point club o 8-of-14 shooting and a monstrous 17 rebounds. Harvey is just 25 points away from becoming the 15th member of the career 1,000-point club. Rhoney concluded with 13 points and eight assists while Lemons wrapped up with an even dozen. Pfeiffer would crush North Greenville 58-37 in the rebounding category.
Pfeiffer will now travel to Erskine on Saturday looking to continue the second-best women's basketball season in school history. Tip time with the Flying Fleet is set for 2:00 p.m. with live stats/video being available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

Dana King can keep her job. For now.
The State Board of Elections placed the Lenoir County elections director on probation through Dec. 1, but in doing so denied the Lenoir County Board of Election's petition to dismiss her.
"I'm very pleased by the decision, and glad that I can keep serving the residents of Lenoir County," King said. "I love my job, I love my staff — we have a good working family, so I'm excited that I can stay here and continue on for the next five or six years, I hope, until I can retire."
King said she wanted to thank those who said prayers and sent cards for her, and for the support of her staff during the process.
In his official ruling on the case, SBE Executive Director Gary Bartlett pulled no punches in going point-for-point remarking on each item discussed in the petition. Overall, he saw a poor ability to communicate from both sides of the conflict.
"Unfortunately, the documents I have received also reflect poorly upon all involved, and uncover some high-damaging ineptitude in how business has been handled within Lenoir County Board of Elections," Bartlett wrote. "I see unchecked personality conflicts, vindictive distortions, and a lack of trust and harmonization by all. It was difficult to sift out the facts from the innuendo and invective contained in the materials."
As part of the probation, King and the board are to implement a new "action plan" to improve the work of the board and its staff. The board is to develop a current job description for the director's position, King must keep the board updated monthly on events and the budget, give the board all SBE materials, schedule all comp time for herself and the staff, and she and the board are to meet with county administrators to develop a memorandum of understanding regarding the budget and overtime.
King said she plans on doing the best she can for the current board and the new board that will be installed in July.
She added, "I think there was plenty of blame to go around."
Bartlett wrote, regarding the $20,847 in overtime that caused the board to go over-budget, that it should be viewed in light of the $295,006 returned to the county in budget surpluses for the last five years. However, he cites a larger role in the problem of King not notifying the board about overtime costs until after the fact.
"The Board of Elections members are, as you can imagine, disappointed in Mr. Bartlett's decision," Board Chairwoman Sharon Kanter said. "The board did not enter this process lightly, or without what we felt was considerable effort to address the issues we had identified and went to the extent of filing a petition.
"It was, we thought, in the best interests of the voters of Lenoir County that we have new management of the Board of Elections."
Bartlett wrote the complaints didn't rise to a level appropriate for immediate termination, with part of the reason being there wasn't a "serious harmful impact" on the county's elections, and those elections went on "without a major incident."

As of May 2015, Alaska is one of 23 Republican state government trifectas.
Current officer
The current, and 10th, governor of Alaska is Sean Parnell, a member of the Republican Party. Parnell was elected lieutenant governor in 2006 along with Sarah Palin and became the governor upon Palin's resignation on July 26, 2009; he completed her term and ran for the office himself in 2010. He won a full term, which he began serving on December 6, 2010.
Before his election as lieutenant governor, Parnell operated his own private law practice in Anchorage, AL. He earned his J.D. from the Puget Sound School of Law and a B.B.A. from Pacific Lutheran University. He and his wife, Sandy, have two daughters.[1]
The Constitution of Alaska addresses the office of the governor in Article III, the Executive.
Alaska Constitution, Article III, Section 1:

- See also: How gubernatorial vacancies are filled
Details of vacancy appointments are addressed under Article III, Sections 9 to 14.
In the event that the elected governor is unable to complete her term, the Lieutenant Governor of Alaska assumes the office. The lieutenant governor also becomes acting governor at any time when the elected incumbent is temporarily unable to discharge the office. If the elected governor is continually unable to discharge the office for six months, the office is deemed vacant and the lieutenant governor succeeds to the office.
In the event that a governor-elect dies, resigns, is disqualified, or otherwise does not take office, the individual elected as lieutenant governor shall become the governor.
Any that the lieutenant governor takes over as the governor, she or he serves as the governor for the entire remaining term.
The Governor of Alaska is the commander-in-chief of the state's military forces. The governor has a duty to enforce state laws, and the power to either approve or veto bills passed by the Alaska Legislature, to convene the legislature, and to grant pardons, except in cases of impeachment.
Many offices, such as that of the Attorney General, which are elected offices in most states, are gubernatorial appointments in Alaska. The governor has wide latitude is searching for a nominee but must seek legislative confirmation of those nominees. The governor also appoints the officers of most state boards and commissions and has the power to make recess appointments when the legislature is not in session.
The number of departments in Alaska's state government is Constitutionally capped at 20; however, the governor may decrease and increase the numbers of departments within that limit. Some reorganization of the government may be done at the governor's discretion. For changes requiring the force of law, the governor issues an Executive Order; the legislature then has 60 session days to reject the change, done by a majority vote of a joint session. Otherwise, the Executive Order stands and takes effect on a day chosen by the governor.
Other duties and privileges of the office include:
- upholding the faithful execution of all Alaska laws and forcing compliance when needed, either through the courts or by legislative action
- convening special sessions of the House, the Senate, or both in a Joint Session
- addressing the legislature at the beginning of each session and at other times he deems necessary, with a description of the current state of Alaska's affairs and with her or his recommendations
- appointing all general and flag officers of Alaska's armed forces
- proclaiming martial law for up to 20 days. (A longer declaration requires a majority vote of the joint legislature.)
The Office of the Governor oversees four main divisions: Alaska State Commission for Human Rights, Boards and Commissions, Office of International Trade and Office of Management and Budget.
Also state what the divisions are expected to do for the state office (advice, research, etc.).
Alaska State Commission for Human Rights
- The State Commission for Human Rights has the following mission statement:
- "Discrimination not only threatens the rights and privileges of the inhabitants of the state, but also menaces the institutions of the state and threatens peace, order, health, safety, and general welfare of the state and its inhabitants. Therefore, it is the policy of the state and the purpose of this chapter to eliminate and prevent discrimination. It is also the policy of the state to encourage and enable physically and mentally disabled persons to participate fully in the social and economic life of the state and to engage in remunerative employment."[3]
|Contact Alaska State Commission for Human Rights
Office of Boards and Commissions
- The Office of Boards and Commissions aids the governor in his or her appointments to state boards and commissions. It processes applications for appointments.
|Contact Office of Boards and Commissions
Office of International Trade
- The Office of International Trade works to promote trade between Alaska and other countries.
|Contact Office of International Trade
Office of Management and Budget
- The Office of Management and Budget prepares annual capital and operating budget, training materials, guidelines, budget submission timetables for executive branch agencies and advises the Governor in the budget review process. It also helps develop the Governor's budget, oversees the automated budget system and reviews propsed changes for the appropriations bill.
|Contact Office of Management and Budget
State budget
The enacted budget for the Governor's Office in Fiscal Year 2014 is $30,212,600.[4]
The governor's pay is set by law and may be changed by the legislature. If the legislature lowers the gubernatorial salary, the pay cut does not take effect until the next gubernatorial term, unless the pay cut applies to all salaried state officers.
In 2013, the governor's salary was $145,000.[5]
In 2012, the Alaska Governor was paid an estimated $145,000. This figure comes from the Council of State Governments.

Partisan balance 1992-2013
From 1992-2013, there were Democratic governors in office for eight years while there were Republican governors in office for 12 years, including the last 11. Alaska was under a Republican trifecta for the last year of the study period.
Across the country, there were 493 years of Democratic governors (44.82%) and 586 years of Republican governors (53.27%) from 1992-2013.
Over the course of the 22-year study, state governments became increasingly more partisan. At the outset of the study period (1992), 18 of the 49 states with partisan legislatures had single-party trifectas and 31 states had divided governments. In 2013, only 13 states had divided governments, while single-party trifectas held sway in 36 states, the most in the 22 years studied.
The chart below shows the partisan composition of the Office of the Governor of Alaska, the Alaska State Senate and the Alaska House of Representatives from 1992-2013.
SQLI and partisanship
The chart below depicts the partisanship of the Alaska state government and the state's SQLI ranking for the years studied. For the SQLI, the states were ranked from 1-50, with 1 being the best and 50 the worst. The only trifecta in Alaska, a Republican trifecta, occurred between the years 2003 and 2006, as well as 2013. The state never had a Democratic trifecta between 1992 and 2012. Between 1995-2002 and 2007-2012, Alaska had divided government. Alaska never placed in the top-10 or bottom-10 in the SQLI ranking. Alaska's highest SQLI ranking (16th) occurred during divided government, in 2002, while its lowest ranking (37th) occurred in 2011, also under divided government.
- SQLI average with Democratic trifecta: N/A
- SQLI average with Republican trifecta: 32
- SQLI average with divided government: 23.27

Women's Soccer Tabbed # 2 in Preseason Coaches Poll
August 26, 2010
HIGH POINT, N.C. - The Belmont Abbey College womens soccer team has been picked as the preseason favorite by Conference Carolinas league head coaches for the upcoming season. The Abbey womens team returns 15 players from last seasons unit that went 14-6 overall with a 9-2 league mark and captured the Conference Carolinas title. Pfeiffer University comes in at number two followed by Queens rounding out the top three.
Belmont Abbey advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 2001 season adding to their fourth overall NCAA appearance. The Abbey has won six conference tournament championships and appeared in the Conference Tournament final in each of the last five seasons, winning in 2005, 2006 and 2009.
The Crusaders return their top four goal scorers from a year ago, including junior forward Connie Axiotis, who led the league with 14 goals en route to capturing Player of the Year honors. Sophomore Alana Ryczek (eight goals), junior Nicole Voets (seven goals) and junior forward Rebecca Mateo (five goals) also return for the Crusaders. Axiotis, who was also the Conference Freshman of the Year two season ago, Voets and Lindsay Palm all earned all-conference honors last year.
Pfeiffers womens soccer team comes in at number two in this years preseason poll as voted on by league head coaches. The Lady Falcons finished 2009 with an 11-6-3 overall record, and 8-1-2 in Conference Carolinas play finishing second behind Belmont Abbey. Pfeiffers season came to a sudden end in a 1-0 loss to Limestone in a neutral site, first round matchup in the conference tournament.
Pfeiffer returns their leading scorer from a year ago in Alyssa Wombwell while welcoming back a steady core of defenders that led the Lady Falcons to five shutouts in 2009. Wombwell netted a team-high 11 goals last season finishing second with four assists. Megan Reaves, one of six seniors, led the way with five helpers. Alex Cook, Erin Menzel, Sara McCormack and Jessica Moulton will help anchor the defense in the backfield in front of juniors Jamie Alcala and Amanda Wemple standing in net.
In addition to the experienced returnees, the Lady Falcons ushered in a freshman class of 11 to help with the 2010 campaign.
Queens University of Charlotte is third in this years preseason poll. The Royals finished fourth in the conference regular season last year with a 7-3-1 conference record and 9-11-1 overall record.
The 2010 Royals, under fifth year Head Coach Katie Talbert, will return Conference Carolinas All-Conference first teamer and Freshman of the Year Kristen Wright who led her team in points and goals during the 2009 season. Including Kristen Wright, the Royals return five of their top six point getters. Rounding out the list are Meagan Sload, Amanda Wright, Katherine Karr, and Kelsey Howard. Queens also returns two of the top defenders in the league in Anna Decker and Lauren Vawter.
In addition, 2008 All-Conference first teamer Sami Striano will return to the field after sitting out the 2009 season due to injury. The experience and depth of the returning players combined with ten newcomers have the Royals excited about the upcoming season.
Rounding out the poll 4-12 was: Limestone, Erskine, Mount Olive, Lees-McRae, Barton, Converse, St. Andrews, and Coker respectively.

Retractable leads—those long leashes that extend to allow your dog to roam freely—are great for trips to a wide open space like a park. They let your dog sniff and explore more freely. But if you've got one that you use on daily walks in the city or on a busy path, it might be time to ditch it. Here's why.
1. The leash can get caught on you, your dog, a cyclist or jogger and cause tripping, rope burn, cuts and even strangulation.
2. You might have the best-behaved dog in the world, but what about that other dog down the block? When you use a retractable leash, you're opening your dog up to all sorts of dangers, including those posed by less-friendly dogs, bikes and cars. You may not be able to hit the brakes in time.
3. Retractable leashes allow your dog to approach other dogs uninvited, and that's just downright inconsiderate. Other pet parents may not want their dogs to greet your dogs for a variety of reasons, including your own dog's health and safety.
4. Perhaps worst of all, should you drop the leash in an already-busy area, its sudden retraction and the noise the handle makes when dragging on pavement can terrify even the most even-keeled dogs. That means your dog is much more likely to bolt.
We get why people are attracted to retractable leads, but for these reasons and more, we're sticking with our dog's good old six-foot leash when we're on busy streets. For your pet's safety, we hope you will, too.
A friend of mine has a pet store in Chicago. A customers fingers were cut off by one of these leashes.
I was attacked around both ankles by someone else's dog and her 16 foot fully extended retractable leash at a dog park. I could have lost a foot. After almost 10 years, I still have scars to prove it. These leashes need to be taken off the shelves. They are basically lethal weapons camouflaged as dog leashes.
so because some people are stupid and don't know how to use something properly its the manufacturers or the equipment fault? what happened to personal responsibility. I have a retractable leash for my German Shepard we use it fully extended when we are alone on a hiking trail, I have the handle tethered to my pack so if I need both hands I can let go and if Kiara gets ahead of me because I lost balance she inst jerking me farther off balance. with a normal 6 in leader if I start to stumble and let go if its tethered to me and kiara isn't paying attention o what I'm doing she can reach the end and cause me to fall.
the key to using this TOOL is to keep it appropriate lengths for your environment and pay attention to your fury child.

Cat Lymphoid Leukemia
Cat Lymphoid Leukemia
Owning a cat is more than simply owning a pet, these animals become part of your life and family. If they get sick then you will want to do everything possible to save them and knowing about different illnesses and conditions is essential. There are some conditions which can be life threatening if not found and treated immediately. This is why it is so important to have your cat checked at the vet regularly.
What is Lymphoid Leukemia
Lymphoid Leukemia is a very serious blood disorder that happens because there is an overabundance of white cells in your cat's body. This form of Leukemia is very common and will affect the bone marrow and can even circulate around the system. Leukemia is often defined as acute or chronic and depends on which of the white blood cells have been affected. Also how quickly the leukemia has appeared. Although the leukemia that your cat will have is very similar to the human form it also has some major differences as well.
Symptoms of Lymphoid Leukemia
There are many symptoms with this disease that can affect your cat and they may have some of them or, in extreme cases, all of them. Your cat may suffer from Cat Loss of Weight, Cat Increased Thirst, Cat Increased Urination, random bleeding, Cat Anemia and Cat Vomiting.
There are many more symptoms but these are the most common. In some forms of chronic leukemia there are no symptoms at all which can be concerning for you as a pet owner as you will not know that your cat is indeed ill. This is why you should have them regularly checked by the vet so they can detect abnormalities and diseases ahead of time.
Diagnosis and the way forward
If you are concerned about your cat and suspect that they may have a form of the leukemia then you need to take them to a vet straight away. The vet will be able to take a blood sample from your cat and examine it. The blood is the only way to fully diagnose leukemia and once the vet can find out if it is chronic or acute then they can set out a plan of treatment. If you leave this untreated then your cat may eventually die so it is very important to act quickly for your cat to have the best chance of survival.
Treatment and aftercare
If your cat is diagnosed with acute leukemia then it cannot be operated on and the only form of treatment is chemotherapy. Although the chemotherapy has advanced a long way there are risks involved with your cat having it.
In the case of the chronic leukemia your vet will tell you to observe your cat closely and treat the under laying illnesses. There is no need for radical treatments and your cat may in time get over the illness. Although the figures of survival after leukemia are unknown your cat will have another few years of life after treatment. For some this is enough and they will fight for their lives and for others they may feel that it is kinder to let them go.

Vehicle Replacement in the International Committee of the Red Cross
2013, Production and Operations Management
A. J. Pedraza-Martinez, L. N. Van Wassenhove
This paper studies 4x4 vehicle replacement within the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), one of the largest humanitarian organizations. ICRCpolicy sets the replacement of vehicles at 5 years or 150,000 Km, whichever comes first. Using field data collected at the ICRC headquarters and national level we study the ICRC policy. Our results suggest that the organization can make considerable savings by adjusting its replacement policy. This study contributes to the area of logistics and transportation research in humanitarian operations.

Brendan joins gloves squad
Published at 07:42, Wednesday, 13 February 2013
FOOTBALL: A TEENAGER from Haydon Bridge looks set to become the latest professional goalkeeper from Tynedale.
In recent years, brothers Ben and Jak Alnwick, of Prudhoe, Wark's Carl Bell and Stocksfield's Fraser Forster, who has made Roy Hodgson's England squad, have all made it to the pro scene.
Now 16-year-old Brendan Pearson, a pupil at the village's high school, has taken a step closer to joining the esteemed list after signing a two-year scholarship at Newcastle United's academy.
The 6ft 3ins shot stopper has been at the academy for six years, and he has shown enough promise to warrant a full-time deal at the Premier League outfit.
Toon Army mad, the contract is a massive confidence boost for Brendan who dreams of one day pulling on the number one jersey at United.
He said: "I am over the moon and it came as quite a shock. I went into a meeting with academy director Joe Joyce and my goalkeeping coach and just expected a review of my performance, not to be offered a scholarship!
"Playing football is something I have always really wanted to do, and the past six years have gone well and I have improved all the time.
"I have been involved in a few good tournaments abroad, for example getting to the final in Rome in 2008, and played in many Premier League tournaments, and it has given me a taste of what to expect."
Brendan turned out for Haydon Bridge United at Mini-Soccer level between U8 and U10, and he honed his skills under coaches Davy Edwards and his father Warren Pearson.
He caught the eye of United and was signed to the academy as a 10-year-old, and he has remained there ever since.
And even though the club have decided to hammer the French market recently, Brendan said he looks at the local goalkeepers who have progressed through Newcastle's ranks for inspiration.
He said: "I look up to them and Fraser Forster is one of my favourite goalkeepers. I have trained a few times with Jak Alnwick too, and these keepers give me hope I can make it.
"I just want to keep progressing, get as much match experience as I can and then hopefully, after that, I can progress to the higher level."

One bend of the Stillaguamish River is a known danger for slides
Ian Terry / The Herald
Juanita Eanes points to trees that have slid down from what used to be her yard at her home in Arlington along the South Fork Stillaguamish River on Friday. Eanes has been forced to move her home farther away from the hillside due to the constant erosion.
Ian Terry / The Herald
Erosion is shown on a hillside above the South Fork Stillaguamish River near Susan and Phillip Burk�s home in Arlington on Friday.
Ian Terry / The Herald
A bend in the South Fork Stillaguamish River is visible through the eroded hillside leading up to Keith and Juanita Eanes� property in Arlington.
Eanes lives with her husband, Keith Eanes, in a manufactured home on a rural lot between Arlington and Granite Falls.
They bought their home and 4.6-acre wooded lot overlooking the South Fork Stillaguamish River in 2003, believing they'd found their own little bit of paradise.
But starting in 2007, they've been losing that paradise bit by bit, as one chunk of sodden earth after another eroded and tumbled 100 feet down into the river below.
"We just progressively kept losing it," she said. The erosion accelerated this spring.
Eanes lives above a nearly 180-degree bend in the river known as the Trangen Meander.
On Eanes' property on the right bank, what used to be a slope down to the river is now a sheer cliff of clay and sandy soil.
A similar situation played out at a neighbor's house to the west, where Phillip and Susan Burk estimate they have lost about one-third of their property's 6.6 acres.
In Snohomish County, an estimated 30,000 people make their homes in landslide zones. But for most people most of the time, the danger to life and property lies hidden, often for the entire period they live in the area.
Randolph Sleight, the chief engineering officer for Snohomish County's Department of Planning and Development Services, visited the Eaneses in early April to evaluate threats to their houses after seeing a television report about their plight.
In the Eaneses' case, the danger was very real. The building code requires a setback from the edge of 50 feet or half the height of a drop-off, whichever is greater. Most of that setback was already gone.
"We flagged the limits, which at the time of the visit was still meeting the setback, barely," Sleight said.
He also advised the Eaneses to evacuate if the slide went beyond that limit.
A similar situation was developing on the Burks' property, where the bank was 184 feet from their two-story log house.
When Sleight returned to the area May 28, the bank was just 113 feet from the Burks' house. On the Eanes' property, the warning flags had fallen down the slope.
In the Northwest, rain plus hills equal a constant danger of landslides, especially in the winter and spring. Small, slow-moving slides are not unusual and can bury property or temporarily block roads and rails.
The deadly March 22 slide near Oso was an outlier in size, speed and loss of life. After the debris filled the valley of the North Fork Stillaguamish, there were 43 dead, including one whose body has not been found.
Policy makers are forming a plan that might lead to buyouts of the properties affected by the Oso slide, but there are no universally applied methods or policies when a hillside on private property gives way.
In 2009, Snohomish County identified the Trangen Meander as the largest single source of fine sediment in the South Fork Stillaguamish River, which posed health and habitat danger to native salmon.
In December that year, a consulting firm hired by the county released a report studying the slide there to determine if the county should take action to reduce erosion of the hillside into the river.
The consultant, AMEC Earth & Environmental Inc., which has offices in Bothell, identified two courses of action.
One would be to shift the channel of the river and stabilize the steep slopes of the hillside, a project that would cost $2.6 million for construction alone — not including planning, permitting and further studies required by law.
Another alternative, costing $1.3 million — again, just for construction — would be to create a new river channel, away from the right bank of the bend in the river, probably in the location of a smaller overflow channel near the left bank.
Snohomish County has not pursued either course yet.
Shifting the river's course poses a risk that the change won't hold. Aerial photography included in the AMEC report dating back to 1933 shows the river continually shifting its channel through the bend, at times carving through the middle of a sandy bar, at others hugging one or the other bank.
Starting in 2007, the first pieces of what is now a significant logjam were visible on the left bank, just north of the bend.
That logjam, Sleight suggested, has intensified the river's attack on the south bank, right below the Burk and Eanes properties. Over the past five years the river has moved south more than 200 feet, Sleight said.
"It's effectively blocking channel migration back to the north," Sleight said.
Removing the logjam is another matter entirely.
Steve Thomsen, director of the county's Public Works department, said his staff has been in contact with the Burks about that possibility.
"We told them that we don't have any jurisdiction to go in and remove wood from the stream," Thomsen said. He referred Burk to the state Department of Fish and Wildlife, which issues permits for work done in the state's rivers and streams.
Fish and Wildlife's role, however, is to review projects of other groups or agencies for impact to fish life and habitat, said Dave Brock, the regional habitat program manager.
For emergency projects, or when an agency is overwhelmed, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers could be called. That was the case during the response to the Oso mudslide, when the Corps built a berm along the North Fork Stillaguamish River to reduce flooding upstream of the slide.
But the Army Corps hasn't been called to work on the Trangen Meander, and the Corps doesn't provide direct assistance when only private property is endangered.
"Generally, those emergencies have to do with threats to infrastructure," said Patricia Graesser, public affairs chief for the Corps' Seattle district.
Which brings the issue back to the county, whose role concerning private property is usually limited to offering advice, Thomsen said.
Any river project these days, he added, requires what's known as a bioengineered solution, involving rocks or woody debris to help preserve fish habitat. That can get expensive, Thomsen said.
Because insurers don't offer landslide insurance, and because the government's interest often stops at a property line, the most that many private owners can do in the face of overwhelming natural forces is get out of the way.
That's what the Eaneses and Burks did.
When a large chunk of bank collapsed May 11, Phillip Burk started the process of moving his home.
He took out loans, got a permit from the county and hired Nickel Bros. to move his house about 75 yards from the advancing slide.
He and his family have been living in a rented camper trailer for a month.
Juanita Eanes is retired, and her husband works as an upholsterer. Moving their home would have cost up to $20,000, which is well outside their means, she said.
Nickel Bros. granted the Eaneses a hardship exception and moved their house about 50 feet back, no charge.
Whether it's enough, or if the move just bought them a few more years, Juanita Eanes doesn't know.
"We just live one day at a time, and thank God we made it through," Eanes said.
"I love living here and I would not want to live anywhere else," she said.

Henderson NV is smack in the middle of a lot of off-roading activity. That's where ReadyLIFT is based, in order to be close to their customers and their needs. About 12 years ago, ReadyLIFT founder and CEO Scott Poncher realized that there was a market for people who wanted to lift their trucks only a few inches, not the six inches or more that most lift kits were set up to do. A few inches were enough to make the truck's stance level (instead of drooped down in front, as seems to be common today), or to accommodate slightly larger wheels and tires. There was no option for these customers that didn't raise the truck more than necessary, was easy to install and reasonably priced. And so ReadyLIFT was born to bring a line of reasonably-priced, but still highly-engineered and well-made moderate-rise lift kits to market.Product Reviews (2)

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, Nov. 10, 2 p.m. (et)
FACTS & STATS: Site: InfoCision Stadium (30,000) -- Akron, Ohio. Television:
None. Home Record: UMass 0-3, Akron 1-4. Away Record: UMass 0-6, Akron 0-5.
Neutral Record: UMass 0-0, Akron 0-0. Conference Record: UMass 0-5, Akron 0-6.
Series Record: First-ever meeting.
GAME NOTES: The Massachusetts Minutemen attempt to snap the FBS' longest
losing streak as they travel to InfoCision Stadium to duel the Akron Zips in a
matchup between two squads stuck at the bottom of the Mid-American
Conference's East Division.
This will be the first-ever matchup between these programs on the gridiron.
UMass, Akron, and Eastern Michigan are the only teams from MAC without a win
in league action entering this week.
UMass is currently on a 12-game losing slide dating back to last season. The
Minutemen have not had an ideal tour of the MAC in their inaugural year as a
member of the league. UMass has lost all of its games but one by double-digit
margins, which has led to an 34.1 point average margin of loss for Charley
Molnar's squad.
Although the Zips are far from their inaugural season as an FBS program, they
have only been slightly better than the visitors in 2012. Akron was
mathematically eliminated from the race for the MAC's top spot weeks ago and
enters on a seven-game losing slide. Coach Terry Bowden has made a positive
impact in his inaugural season at the helm of the program despite its
unattractive 1-9 overall record. The Zips dominated Morgan State, 66-6, in
their lone win of the season and came up just short in overtime losses to FIU
and Ohio University. Akron played tough its last time out, but still suffered
a 35-24 setback to the first-place Kent State Golden Flashes.
The UMass offense has yet to catch up to the higher level of competition, as
it puts up just 267.9 ypg and ranks last in the FBS in scoring (10 ppg).
Mike Wegzyn threw all four of his touchdown passes this season a few weeks
back versus Ohio University, but otherwise he has found next to no success
under center, completing 52.1 percent of his passes for 149.3 passing ypg,
with seven interceptions. A.J. Doyle has also seen action, but he too has
played poorly as a reliever (25-of-52, 162 yards, five INTs, one TD).
Deion Walker (42 receptions, 490 yards, two TDs) has proven to be a reliable
target for Wegzyn, and Alan Williams (22 receptions, 231 yards, three TDs) has
been a factor in the red zone.
Michael Cox is the team's lead back, but his production has been rather
pedestrian with 128 carries for 569 yards and three touchdowns. As a team, the
Minutemen average just 2.8 yards per rush attempt.
While the offense has certainly struggled, the defense has also done little to
impress (44.1 ppg, 481.1 ypg). UMass allowed NIU to gain 610 yards of total
offense last week, which is the highest amount amassed by an opponent this
The increased volume of work has made Perry McIntyre one of the top tacklers
in the nation (92 tackles, 4.5 TFL). Darren Thellen (56 tackles) has two
interceptions, but as a team UMass has created only 11 takeaways in nine
The Zips had one of the least productive offenses in the FBS last season with
mere averages of 277.8 yards and 14.2 points per contest. Bowden's no huddle
philosophy has led to 436.7 yards and 27.6 points per game. The Zips rank
first in the MAC and 14th in the FBS with their 315.6 passing yards per game
average after gaining 312 yards through the air in last week's loss to Kent
Senior transfer Dalton Williams was relatively unknown when he arrived on
campus this past off season from Stephen F. Austin with just a single year of
eligibility remaining. Bowden is getting the most out of his quarterback, who
is averaging just under 47 attempts per game and has a 24-to-12 touchdown-to-
interception ratio. Williams paced the team by going 30-of-41 passing, for 312
yards and two TDs with zero INTs last week.
Williams's favorite target is Marquelo Suel, who has tallied 685 receiving
yards and four touchdowns through 10 games. Zach D'Orazio, Keith Sconiers,
L.T. Smith, and Dee Frieson also play vital roles in Akron's spread attack.
Junior wideout Jerrod Dillard is the most reliable option in the red zone and
leads the team with eight touchdown receptions.
While Akron clearly emphasizes passing in its offense, Jawon Chisholm is a
capable tailback. The sophomore has picked up 803 yards on the ground this
season after finishing just 39 yards shy of 1,000 last year as a rookie. A
shoulder injury kept Chisholm out versus Central Michigan on Oct. 27, but he
returned last week to gain 117 yards and a touchdown on 16 attempts.
The Zips are not an intimidating team defensively. Bowling Green is the only
one of their nine FBS opponents to be held under 30 points. Akron ranks 104th
out of 120 FBS programs in total defense with an allowed average of 461.4
yards per game.
Kurt Mangum is the leading tackler with 91 stops, 41 of which are solo. J.D.
Griggs is a force up front with 5.5 sacks, which is the eighth most in the
Akron's offense has proven to be a productive unit, while UMass is completely
lost when it has the ball. Bowden and the Zips should be able to pick up their
second win of the season, which will double last season's total. Cox needs to
be productive for the Minutemen to stand a chance.
