The 6'1, 200 pounder from Anthem, Arizona showed great pop during the 2013 season and was named All-Mountain West second team.

Not sure where to post this one so Im sorry if its in the wrong section.
I am looking for a pony.
His name is Romeo Joe AKA Joey
He is a Black and White paint/pinto
He was a stocky guy and he had Warts in his ears making it hard ti get the bridle on and off. You had to take it apart to get it on him.
He went English and Western and was some what lazy.
I think if he is still alive he would be in his later 20's
He was in Central NJ for a while. Last I heard he may be in PA
If anyone knows of this pony Please PM me. I want to find him

Secret Life of the American Teenager
7 WTF Moments From Secret Life Season 3, Episode 17: "Guess Who's Not Coming To Dinner"
We love Secret Life as much as the next Daren Kagasoff stalker, but sometimes we pause our TiVo and are all, "WTF?! Did that actually happen?" We've rounded up Monday night's "what were they thinking?" moments. Did these leave you confuzzled, too?
1. Ricky's breakfast spread. It's just a typical morning at Ricky's bachelor pad, full of pancakes, fruit spreads, cereal, and orange juice! Is he running his own B&B up in this joint? We all know how much Ricky loves to decorate, so maybe we shouldn't be so surprised. Ricky just got up early, hand-picked some fruit, and put on a frilly apron. So what?
2. Amy and George's sex convo. How many more times are we going to have to suffer through Amy telling her dad the intimate deets of her sex life? She was literally planning whose couch they were going to soil. George is going to be having sex dreams of the worst kind later.
3. Ben and Adrian's engagement. Last we checked it's still completely illegal for a pair of teens to get hitched. Ben and Amy learn that the hard way at their faker-than-Snooki's-tan wedding. The Secret Life writers must have forgotten that hot mess ever happened, but we didn't!
4. Anne's absent parenting. So in Secret Life land it's been — what — a month since Anne's seen her kids? Doesn't she miss them?! And who's taking care of baby Robbie? Ash and Amy were super bummed to cancel their weekend trip to see their mom, but it got us thinking: Couldn't she just come back from wherever the heck she is to visit them?
5. Margaret's intimate knowledge of Nora's love life. Apparently, Margaret "hears things." We don't know if she's telepathic or just cray-cray, but she got that info about Ricky's mom being a lesbian somewhere, and we're gonna go ahead and assume it's because she's can read minds.
6. Ashley's ecosystem project. Oh, Ash. We always assumed you were kinda smart. How wrong we were. If Ashley gets a D- on that assignment, she should consider herself lucky. A 5-year-old could have made a prettier chart. And where did she get all those candid photos from, the ABC Family website?
7. Baby John. Seriously, do Ricky and Amy give this kid sedatives? Baby John doesn't say a word and he's almost 3! The Secret Life writers better get their act together with some adorbz dialogue before we start thinking something's up with this little tyke.
Want even more WTF? Check out last week's list!

Ff just looks like a small scale planetside2 to me. I can't see what ff offers than planetside 2 doesn't on a larger scale.

firefall is okay, but not nearly as great as GW2
the RPG part in firefall is very rudimentary, the controls are akin to other FPS and honestly, there's very little novelty in terms of design too.
it feels like a solid game, but nothing I would pay money for though

I haven't played Firefall yet, but I don't have much time to play another big title or participate in the beta test that is. I am waiting for a full review to help make up my mind. Hence I cannot vote in this poll.

I actually still like MMORPGs
Firefall has good PvE PS2 doesn't even have it at all.
Yeah, I'm not that bothered about pve. Am I right in thinking the pvp is all instanced mini game matches type stuff, like wow or cod?

I don't even get the reason of comparing firefall with gw2.
First of all, it caters to completely different audiences (being a different genre).
"not as great as GW2": there are few of us thinking that gw2 is not as great as gw1 or not even worth playing. I guess the same can be said about pretty much any title. To each its own?
RPG part in firefall is very rudimentary: game is in beta and there have been quite a few complete "overhauls" already. we'll see how it turns out in the end. There's also people saying that rpg component in gw2 is amazing and other people claiming the opposite (obviously they are playing it wrong - lol?)
Controls: well a shooter plays like a shooter. GW2 plays like any other tab target game released since the dawn of time. Some of us like shooters, some of us like tab target games, some of us like other things. No matter how you dress it up, in terms of control there has been no novelty in the gaming industry for the past 20 years no matter what bs PR people try to shove down our throat. The only innovation in terms of controls I can think of in the recent years, was Heavy Rain on ps3 (which then again, people can intensely love and replay or just drop within 30 seconds).
Some people paid for gw2 and asked for a refund. Others paid for gw2 and are happy and having a blast.
Nobody will have to pay a dime for playing Firefall and decide afterwards if worth spending few occasional $$ instead of an upfront "blind payment" of 50$ or whatever it is that GW2 sells for on cdkeys websites nowadays.
On a side note: FF has "dynamic stuff" that is really dynamic and popping everywhere (and also player controlled in where/when/how to trigger). GW2 "DE thing" is nothing more than yet another marketing stunt.
Last but not least: ps2 is a 3-faction persistent conflict spanning across massive zones, with no craft, no level progression and no pve. Firefall is the opposite.
Not saying one thing is better than the other. Just saying diversity and options are good for the customer base (all of us), and there's no real "versus" apart from "what each one of us like vs. what each one of us doesn't like", we all in control of our wallets (hopefully) and everyone's a winner :D
And this whole thread sounds like an alternative to the chewbacca defense. ^_^

What a silly thread.
I'm currently playing both GW2 and FF and enjoying both immensely. There is simply no competition between the two - both are great at what they do. Imo GW2 is well worth the 60$ box price, as for FF, I've been betaing it for the past few days and have yet to see how long it will hold me, but all I can see so far is pretty impressive... let's say that it is seriously eating into my second game time which used to be held by TF2 for the past couple of years.
(a pro tip - do not play only one game at any time period. since you are not a robot, you will get bored if you play only one game all the time. ideally i play 2 games at any given time, one is the "primary" that i really sink my teeth into while the second one is for when i realize i'm in danger of getting bored by the primary one.)
As for the box price... well imo both games are seriously underpriced at what they offer, especially in comparison with similar titles. Considering what passes for AAA mmos nowadays, it's a sin GW2 is not charging a sub and FF is not charging for the box. Maybe their revenue models will pay off in the end, but it is simply amazing that these two games come so cheaply.

Seriously, I see this comment so much and it's hilariously maddening. Nothing is free to play unless you spend ZERO money to get the game and to play it. Buy to play is what Firefall is, and that is B2P.
A ps2 / gw2 comparison would be fairer considering what planetside is gaming for and what WvW is aiming for us the same thing.
Be interesting to see if ps2 brings back the competition and faction pride present in its predecessor and daoc which gw2 sadly lacks and is hurting its long term pvp potential.
Should stop one annoyance from gw2 - being forced to pve so you can afford to pvp, with it having no pve.

And how about the rest of you just answer the poll instead of trying to troll the OP.
They are similar enough to compare. They are both hybrid MMO's, with persistent worlds, crafting, PvP, PvE, and a progression system. Whether you like Sci-Fi FPS/TPS over traditional high fantasy games should be reflected in your choice in this poll.
I didn't particularly like GW1, and nothing about GW2 really interests me. I don't really like many Sci-Fi games, but Firefall draws my interest. It's a new breed of MMO's that we really haven't seen before, at least not like this. So perhaps some of the excitement is the thought of something new. The game is in beta and there are many features that are not in the game, but the core of it is there and I enjoy it. Thumping can get boring, but it really is a game that you can jump into for 10 minutes and still be able to progress your character. It's literally like UT in a MMO space, and that's fun to me.
I'm eagerly anticipating the PvE additions coming up, as well as army content, vehicles, open world PvP, achievement systems, and the fleshing out of all of the world that is currently released. There are a lot of features on the horizon, and I expect them to be just as polished as everything that is currently in game.
So I think you know where my vote is. I've already paid $20 to play the beta. The only reason I didn't pay $100 is because I just bought a house. Understandably strapped for cash.

Zildjian can trace its roots back to Istanbul in 1623, when an Armenian alchemist called Avedis Zildjian created an alloy from tin, copper and silver that could make musical notes without shattering. Four hundred years on and the company that bears his name is now based in the US and is the leading manufacturer of cymbals in the world.
It was eponymous alchemist's descendant, Avedis III, who centuries later formed the Avedis Zildjian Co in Massachusetts in 1928. He was the first to develop drum kit cymbals, and gave the cymbals names such as ride, crash, splash and hi-hat.
Current sheet bronze Zildjian cymbal lines include the lower end Planet Z range and the high-end ZHT, while cast bronze cymbal lines include the FX special effects cymbals and the Armand series.

Harang, Baxter, Centeno called up, Tejada will wait until Tuesday
After today's 2-1 win over the Indians, the Mets officially announced they will call up Mike Baxter, Aaron Harang, and Juan Centeno before Monday's game against the Nationals at Citi Field.
With Zack Wheeler very close to his innings limit, the Mets plan on using Aaron Harang in his spot for the remainder of the season, possibly starting as soon as this Saturday. Harang, 35, had a terrible season with the Mariners, posting a career-worst 5.76 ERA in 22 starts before being let go last month. The previous two seasons with the Padres and Dodgers, he was much more effective, combining for a 3.62 ERA in 59 starts, despite unusually-high walk rates both years. Nonetheless, he has historically been an "innings eater," so he will help prevent some of the young arms in the bullpen from being overused late in the year.
Baxter, 28, has served two separate stints with the Mets this year, playing in a total of 59 games and posting a disappointing slash line of .208/.325/.277, after earning a prominent role out of spring training. He has a .289/.380/.519 line with seven home runs in 53 games with Triple-A Las Vegas this year.
Centeno, 23, is the only real prospect of the group. The young catcher isn't very highly-rated and lacks any semblance of power, but he has hit around .300 with a solid On-Base Percentage for three seasons (albeit in limited playing time), making him a possible backup catcher candidate for net year. It's difficult to see the Mets carrying two catchers as young as Travis d'Arnaud and Centeno, but if he can continue to hit like he has in the minor leagues, Centeno is a certain upgrade over the likes of Anthony Recker and John Buck.
The surprising name that will not be promoted for Monday is Ruben Tejada, who will have to wait until Tuesday to get the promotion. The team is waiting, despite Las Vagas' season having already ended, in order to push Tejada's free agency back a year. Earlier this season, Sandy Alderson delayed Zack Wheeler's MLB debut a few weeks for an extra year of team control as well as to avoid having Wheeler earn "Super Two" status, which would require the Mets to go to arbitration with him four years, as opposed to the usual three. Even with a player like Tejada, who the organization has clearly has problems with, it's worth keeping him in Triple-A an extra day to keep him around for another year. Tejada has a dreadful .209/.267/.262 batting line on the season, but has hit .288/.337/.379 in Triple-A this year.

THE outcome of the US presidential election may be crucial in deciding the fate of the Kyoto Protocol. If vice-president Al Gore wins then the talks, which many say were only half a day from success, could continue from where they left off. If it's victory for George W. Bush, an oil man from an oil state, they may have to start over.
For many a Bush presidency spells doom for the climate. But things may not be quite what they seem. Slowly, even Republican America is embracing the global warming issuealbeit often only to make money.
"The mood is changing in the US," says Larry Craig, a US senator from the Midwestern state of Idaho. "Energy producers increasingly share the general population's environmental ethicwith or without Kyoto." This, as chief US negotiator Frank Loy points out, is a far cry from three years ago in Kyoto.

The Final inspection
The warrior stood and faced God,
Which will always come to pass,
He hoped his shoes were shining,
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, old warrior,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To my church have you been true?"
The warrior squared his shoulders and
Said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't,
'Cause those of us who carry guns
Can't always be saint.
"I've had to work most Sundays,
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
'Cause the world is awfully rough.
"But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep.
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
"And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
"I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
"If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand. In life
I didn't expect nor need too much,
So if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne,
Where the saints had often trod,
As the warrior stood quietly.
For the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, my warrior,
You've born your burdens well,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

Synchrophasors in the US: Key Applications, Drivers, Challenges and Emerging Trends - Synchrophasor technologies utilize monitoring devices known as Phasor Measurement Units (PMU) which compute the instantaneous voltage, current and frequency at certain locations on the grid, offering a comprehensive view of the transmission system. Synchrophasor data can be utilized for real-time and offline applications. Online applications include Wide-Area Monitoring and Visualization (WAMV), oscillation detection, frequency stability, voltage stability, disturbance detection, resource integration, state estimation, transmission pathway, congestion management, and islanding and restoration. Offline applications include post-event analysis. Some of the key drivers of the synchrophasor market in the US are the rise in smart grid investment, simple integration of synchrophasors with protective relays and fault-recording devices, and an increase

Buffalo, NY (PRWEB) February 01, 2013
The new LifeSize Icon 600 was released this week to make video conferencing an easier, frustration free experience and the best part is, users can enjoy it at a lower price.
All four versions of the Icon 600 have been designed around the user experience and provide a simplified interface.
This focus on the user has resulted in a LifeSize video conferencing solution that makes managing and scheduling video calls, joining a large meeting and searching for contacts fast and easy.
Some of the ways the LifeSize Icon 600 achieves this is through:
"The simplified interface and user experience of the LifeSize Icon 600 really opens up video conferencing to everyone," said Tom Costelloe, LifeSize Product Manager at VoIP Supply.
The cameras that the Icon 600 utilizes are targeted towards conference rooms, both large and small, while the Icon 600 versions with the 10X camera are better suited for large rooms. The compact size of the codec and the mountable option also make the LifeSize Icon very flexible when it comes to installing it.
For more information about the LifeSize Icon 600 available through VoIP Supply, call toll free 855-820-8006, visit http://www.voipsupply.com/lifesize-icon-600 or, email andria (at) voipsupply (dot) com.

The outstanding beauty of St. Martin / SInt Maarten hits you when debarking your plane… Rocky hills covered with cactus and small trees, and on the other hand lush tropical vegetation with bougainvillea, alpinia, paradise bird flowers, hibiscus, swamp and mangrove with rare plants and wildlife. St. Martiners are aware and proud of their treasure, and since 1998 it is protected and declared Nature Reserve. It is home to a variety of species of seabirds (Frigate birds, brown pelicans, Northern gannets, etc), Iguanas, raccoons and mongooses. Sea turtles are regular visitors on the large beaches of the east. Offshore, from January to May humpback whales are very fond of the shallow waters between St. Martin and Anguilla. Large dolphins can be spotted from February until June, and all year round the coral reefs provide shelter for many fish species (parrot-fish, surgeon fish, tarpon, barracuda, angelfish, grouper, coffer-fish) not to mention mollusks as starfish, sea urchins, lobsters and conches.
Growing human activities, including tourism, is a real threat for the biodiversity of the island, including limited resources as land and water. Healthy tourism depends on healthy resources, which means increased awareness and care for the environment of both, the tourism industry and the traveler is essential to protect the islands nature and beauty.
To protect the environment, strict rules have been established by the governments of St. Martin / SInt Maarten. Do respect them, everybody must participate in the protection of Mother Nature: Don't leave rubbish behind; do not support illegal trade in for example shells, cactus and turtles!

I thought you were talking about those hot chicks who stand around half-nekked and point to show cars.
Posted 15 November 2012 - 01:51 AM
how much time, and money do you invest in your model to make it,
A contest winning model is not about money spent or how long it took you.
What tricks, and add ons do you install.
It's not about tricks or add ons.
How many hours do you spend on making it prefect?
Ah, now you're close. It's about making it perfect. Or at least as close as you can come to it. Whether this is a kit bash that required five kits and $200 is aftermarket goodies or a parts box build with nothing but leftovers, it's all about how well you do it. Period. Attention to detail. A single mold line or ejector pin mark will bring down the whole house of cards. A flaw in the paint as well. Glue marks. Poor fitment. Broken or missing parts. And for pete's sake, all four wheels better be hitting the ground. If you build a model box stock, and the build quality is better than anything else on the table, no matter how detailed, you should win. I say "should" because there are no certainties in life, as you know. Good luck Randy, I hope you do well.

I took both models to the MassCar Model Show (1996) and the '58 Sedan Delivery didn't even place...... The '37 Ford took First Place Street Rod and Best Interior...!!! I was blown away, and kind of disappointed that the '58 didn't do anything after I had put so much time into it.
Now, I never expect any of my models to place in a show because you just never know what the judges will or won't like. If they get something... it's cool... if not, that's cool too... but I'm usually always happy with the way the models turn out when completed, and that is all that really matters.
Posted 15 November 2012 - 03:05 PM
Contest Participation Rules.
1) Bring what ya got. Competition may be what brings ya'll together but entrants and visitors mostly just want to see tables of cool models and talk to you about yours. It also supports the host club.
2) Someone else's model will always be better than yours, except when it's not... and even then.
3) Money doesn't build models. Expensive aftermarket bling only makes people judge your skills harder. $50 in ham-handled photo etched parts and squiggly wires looks worse than a cleanly executed piece with no bling.
4) Time is relative. Setting a deadline can be good for achieving goals but it can also make a you a slave if you get behind or it starts taking you away from other things (or people) you enjoy. Part of the time it takes to build a model is the time it takes to walk away from it now and then.
5) Judges are idiots when you lose... wise and insightful when you win. Now reverse.
6) The presiding judge is usually a coin so don't despair over a loss or gloat over a win.
7) The more vendors there are, the less important your model is.
8) The thrill of victory only lasts as long as it takes to brag to your friends. Most of whom are just being nice.
9) If model building is homework, then contests are labs. You'll learn more in one day at the tables than in months at the bench.
10) All anybody really wants are the door prizes anyway.
Posted 15 November 2012 - 03:49 PM
I spend (way too much) time and money looking thru parts boxes.
My models are usually just displayed on our Club table display.
Not much of a show participant till I get the stinky eye from my club
buddies for not entering a model and for being hard on my self.
I get my name called out and I'm in SHOCK. Met lots of new friends
and get tips and ideas for my next build..you just never know.
pls excuse my ranting...haahahaaa

Osman Cleander Baker 30 July 1812 – 20 December 1871) was an American biblical scholar and Bishop of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Osman was licensed to exhort in his seventeenth year. In 1830 he entered Wesleyan University. He had successfully completed three years at Wesleyan when failing health compelled him to leave the institution. Yet, while in college he also was licensed as a Local Preacher, laboring diligently in that office
Having resigned the seminary principalship in 1844, the Rev. Mr. Baker was appointed Pastor of the M.E. Church in Manchester, New Hampshire. He was appoiinted Presiding Elder of the Dover District in 1846. During the next year he accepted a professorship in the General Biblical Institute in Concord, New Hampshire, which later became the Boston University School of Theology. Dr. Baker became a distinguished scholar. He also continued to reside in Concord for the remainder of his life.
In 1866 Bishop Baker was attacked with partial paralysis while on his way to preside over the Colorado Annual Conference. He reached his destination with great difficulty. He thusly examined and ordained the ordinands in a private room, rather than before the entire Conference. He then returned home, having suffered much pain and extreme exhaustion.
Bishop Baker's health then became sufficiently restored to enable him to preside at a few other Annual Conferences, and to attend the annual and semi-annual meetings of the Board of Bishops of the M.E. Church for two more years, when his strength again declined and his voice was greatly affected.
Returning from worship one Sabbath, he fell helpless at the threshold of his home, but regained his strength for a time. The fatal stroke of paralysis came 8 December 1871. Bishop Baker lingered but a few days afterwards. He died 20 December 1871 in Concord, New Hampshire, aged fifty-nine years.

At Isabel Marant, make-up genius Tom Pecheux came up with a very subtle and transparent look containing a thin metallic grey eyeshadow. "Just to make the eyes look brighter than they already are", said Pecheux. The skin (foundation/base) seems to be the most important part at most shows this season. "No mascara, because that would have looked too 'made up'", he added.

This Clip Frame is an easy and quick way to frame your own art pieces or your favorite pictures. The frame features clear frameless edges and can be hung vertical or horizontal. Perfect for a seamless appeal to keep images the main focal point.
0 out of 0 found this review helpful.
Recommend: No
Seems like they would be great but then the clips fail upon hanging the frame on the wall. They just aren't strong enough.
Was this review helpful? Yes No
Report inappropriate review
Recommend: Yes
An easy to use frame for displaying prints and photographs. The design is simple and clean and can pretty much go with anything. I haven't had any problems with the clips and have several of these frames hanging up on my wall, none of which have fallen down due to clip issues. However, pay attention to the size of whatever you use in your walls to hang things; the clips don't have a big enough opening for bigger nails, pegs, etc.
Bought 9 of these for an art exhibit. Noticed the clips themselves aren't exactly sturdy, and wanted to test them safely with the pictures in them before hanging them. After a few seconds, the clips would slip off and the picture would fall. Unsure of how to solve this, but it's a major design flaw.

is this product good for an outdoor speaker option? Or should I install outdoor speakers and connect to an Ipod dock? I have a larger back yard.

It does sounds better when you have it in a smaller area, but it still puts out pretty good sound outdoors. I use mine when I go to the beach or go camping etc. I love it.

Football League Expert & Columnist
Bourne of frustration
Peter Beagrie reflects on the Bournemouth chairman's tirade and previews Ipswich v Coventry.
Last Updated: 23/09/11 4:37pm
Bournemouth chairman Eddie Mitchell's rant last weekend made incredible viewing and conjured up memories of Delia Smith's outburst at Norwich a few years back.
He was very angry at Cherries fans after they vented their spleens following a 3-0 home loss to Chesterfield.
I suggest it might have gone a different way if Eddie had come on to the turf suited and booted and with his hair not so bedraggled; he certainly looked a little bit worse for wear.
And I think if he looks back on the incident, he'll regret it because it's definitely not PC for a chairman to go onto the pitch and display his anger like that.
You do it professionally, either through notes in the match-day programme or via an organised fans' forum. He acted anything but professionally.
Playing devil's advocate for a moment, though, he's put a lot of money into that club, is passionate about it, and he'll be hurting as much as anyone with all the playing-staff departures over the summer.
Mitchell, along with former Cherries' boss Eddie Howe, bought the club back from the brink when they were in League Two, fighting administration, had a points deduction and scraped the barrel with loan signings - and through all that, Bournemouth were promoted to League One.
And last season they had a cracking year, getting to the play-off semi-finals before losing to Huddersfield in an excellent tie.
The problem is that a when a club as small as Bournemouth over-achieves, their star players will be poached because they haven't got the financial muscle to keep hold of them.
The likes of Danny Hollands, Jason Pearce, Rhoys Wiggins and Danny Ings have departed, leaving only three of their regular line-up from last term - and the Cherries battling at the bottom end of the table.
It seems as though the money has been used to keep the club running and they haven't been able to pay transfer fees or give the sought-after free agents the wages they are looking for. Due to their budget, Bournemouth will always be playing catch-up.
You can understand the fans' frustrations; the squad has been decimated and the results not forthcoming, but I would just urge them to think back to those times of uncertainty and be grateful that they still have a football club.
Nevertheless, Eddie was misguided in thinking he could quell the annoyed supporters by ranting at them. That will only be done by wins. The Cherries got one on Tuesday against Leyton Orient, and perhaps that can act as a springboard.
Ipswich v Coventry, 7.30pm, Mon, Sky Sports HD1
Monday's Sky Live game sees Ipswich host Coventry. Like Bournemouth, the Tractor Boys have endured a tough start to the season and have only taken six points from their opening six games, a run that has included thumping defeats to Southampton and Peterborough.
There is real quality in that side, so I can only think Town's problems stem from their new boys having not bedded in yet. There has been a dramatic overhaul of players and maybe they are still getting accustomed to their new environment.
Ipswich's midfield, which includes Jimmy Bullard, Keith Andrews and Grant Leadbitter, should fire soon but their defence is an issue. Northern Ireland international Gareth McAuley, who joined West Brom on a free this summer, is a big loss; he was their organiser and tremendously resolute, too. Town have really missed him.
Paul Jewell is still searching for that magic blend but he'll be given the tools to succeed: time and money. But knowing Paul from when he managed me at Bradford, he'll be disappointed.
He took a long time to get back into management after a scarring experience at Derby and saw Ipswich as the perfect job. It hasn't begun brilliantly but I'm sure, over the next few years, the Tractor Boys will push on.
Coventry, who got their first win of the season last week against Derby, did very little business in the summer, and have had to rely on academy graduates like Gael Bigirimana and Cyrus Christie.
On paper, they have one of the weaker squads in the Championship, but the fact these youngsters know each other from junior football and will be playing as all kids do - without fear and determined to express themselves - could serve Coventry well.
I still think they could be in in for a for a very arduous season so some of the Sky Blues' older hands will have to step up, particularly Sammy Clingan and Lukas Jutkiewicz.
Clingan would get in most Championship sides; he gets on the ball, dictates things from midfield, has a great range of passing and is tremendous at set-pieces.
Jutkiewicz, meanwhile, is very fleet of foot for a tall frontman and can play both wide in a three or as a central striker. It's no surprise Middlesbrough were sniffing around him during the transfer window because of his all-round game and ability to find the net.
It's imperative that manager Andy Thorn keeps both of those players at the club so that even if he can't add to his squad, he has a realistic chance of keeping City in the Championship.
What else we learned this week
Chris Wood is a very talented young player... The Birmingham striker, on-loan from West Brom, netted a hat-trick against Millwall. A similar player to Connor Wickham, Wood is big, strong and accomplished with the ball at his feet, and could be pivotal for the Blues, who have struggled to score goals over recent years.
Leon Clarke has settled in quickly at Chesterfield... After his short and acrimonious stay at Swindon, Clarke has scored two in two and helped the Spireites find their feet in League One. Clarke didn't cover himself in glory at the County Ground, but John Sheridan has given him a platform and he's taken it.
Izale McLeod likes being a big fish in a small pond... He never really got going when he was at Charlton, but at League Two level, firstly with MK Dons and now Barnet, McLeod is a goal machine. Always an astute finisher but now with more wherewithal in his game,he has netted eight goals this season, including two in the last week.
Macclesfield are very quick off the mark... Silkmen striker Ben Tomlinson scored a goal after just seven seconds against Morecambe on Tuesday. That earned his side a very good draw against the League Two leaders - who had thumped Crawley 6-0 the preceding Saturday.
It was a sobering midweek for Sheffield... Wednesday lost 5-1 at Stevenage, while United were defeated 3-0 by Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield at Bramall Lane. I'm sure there haven't been too many smiles around the Steel City!
Peter's had his say... and now he wants to hear your opinions. Whether you've got a view on the goings-on at Bournemouth, or just want to get your club a mention, send in your thoughts using the feedback form below...
