STATESBORO, Ga. --- Gee McGhee (Baton Rouge, La.) tied his career high with 19 points but it was not enough as the Chattanooga Mocs (8-14/3-6) lost 59-57 Saturday night at Georgia Southern (10-13/4-6). Chattanooga battled back from 21 down early in the second half to take the lead before falling in the final 15 seconds.
C.J. Reed's three-point play at 16:13 gave the Eagles a 21-point lead with 16:13. The Mocs' frigid shooting night took an upswing as the squad slowly chipped away at the mountainous margin.
UTC scored on five of its next seven possessions to cut it to 13, 50-37, on a layup by Jared Bryant (Cincinnati, Ohio). Farad Cobb's (West Palm Beach, Fla.) free throw at 7:33 got it within 10, 51-42. Drazen Zlovaric (Novi Sad, Serbia) and Cobb scored on back-to-back trips to make it a seven-point game, 53-46 on Cobb's two at the charity stripe at 6:16.
Reed looked like he hit the dagger shot. His trey at 5:44 made it a 10-point game again, 56-46, but it was the last time the Eagles would find the bottom of the twine for five-and-a-half minutes. The Mocs defense put Hanner Fieldhouse on lockdown as the offense tightened the gap.
It started with two free throws from McGhee followed by a jumper from Z. Mason (Nashville, Tenn.). After another defensive stop, Cobb's layup cut it to four, 56-52, with 4:03 to go. It took more than two minutes of clock before it got even closer.
McGhee nailed Chattanooga's only three-pointer of the contest at 1:48 to make it a one-point game, 56-55. He wasn't done. On the next offensive set, he drove strong to the basket forcing Reed to foul. He dropped two free throws with 40 ticks remaining for the first UTC lead of the game, 57-56.
GSU went to their money man. With 11.7 seconds to go, Ferguson hit a three-pointer from the top of the key for the 59-57 advantage. It was the first points in more than five minutes for the Eagles. McGhee tried to draw a foul on a three-pointer but his shot missed and the ball went to Georgia Southern.
The Mocs appeared to make a steal on the inbounds play. For a split second, Mason looked to have the ball in the corner but quick hands from the Eagles tipped it away escaping with the win.
Mason joined McGhee in double digits with 14 points and seven rebounds. Zlovaric posted his second double-double of the season with 10 points and 10 rebounds. McGhee set new career high with 12 free throws made and 15 attempted.
Reed tied McGhee for game-high honors with 19 points for GSU. He added five assists and four rebounds. Ferguson chipped in 16 points with three steals.
Chattanooga shot just 37 percent (17-46) for the game. It overcame a six-for-26 start (26.1%) by hitting 47.8 percent (11-23) in the final 20 minutes. After starting the game making seven of its 10 attempts, Georgia Southern shot just 34 percent (17-50). It scored 17 in the opening 5:09, 42 over the final 34:51.
The Eagles got off to a hot start as Reed put his team up 17-7 with a jumper at 14:51. McGhee scored four in a row at the free throw line to cut it to six, 17-11, on the next two possessions.
The score was whittled to five, 19-14, on Ronrico White's (Knoxville, Tenn.) three-point play at 12:44. GSU reeled off a 12-4 run to take its largest lead of the first half, 31-18, on a Kameron Dunnican layup with 5:49 until intermission. It was a 36-23 score at the break as Mason's layup was just after the buzzer signaling halftime.
Six of the next seven games are at for the Mocs beginning with a five-games-in-10-days stretch.

everybody has seen some GM hydramatic a1's and a few H&R made m16a1s at one time or another.
most of the a2s are FN or colt and i don't recall seeing any other makes.(though there could be a few others)
but one i do remember was some LMT made m-16s with LMT made 203's attached to them. they had a green-gray finish rather than the black or gray of colt/FN.
now here is the foggy part-- the A2's were out then best i can recall the LMT's though brand new had the pencil barrel with the 203's
i can't for the life of me remember if the LMT/203 rifles were set up as a2 or a1 not?
anybody else see any LMT made 16s in the service??? any info on them?

Lehigh Valley Beer Week Featured on Lehigh Valley Arts Salon
By Rebecca Walz
In this Lehigh Valley Arts Salon, the topic is the art of brewing, as will be on display in its many facets in the inaugural Lehigh Valley Beer Week, starting Feb 11. Host Bill Dautremont-Smith will talk with LVBW organizer Jesse Albertson about its origination, and in particular will review and highlight some of the numerous events, such as special cask-conditioned beer tastings, meet the brewer evenings, and beer pairing dinners. We'll also talk with Curt Keck, owner /brewmaster of HiJinx Brewing, a recently-opened local craft nano-brewery, about brewing and his background, what beers HiJinx is brewing and where they are available, and in particular, HiJinx's involvement in LVBW.

When I was a kid, I used to love going to the library. There was something amazing about going down to the local library with an empty book bag, and coming home with a bag full of borrowed magic that I could pore over for hours. Then I started earning money, and my visits to the library became less frequent as my bookshelves at home filled up with purchased books. This continued until I bought a kindle about four years ago, at which point I stopped reading physical books altogether and promptly forgot about libraries entirely.
But two things have happened recently that have rekindled my love for libraries. The first one is that my wonderful Grandpa (who, incidentally, is 93 years old and a regular reader of this blog) bought me a membership for the Athenaeum Library in Melbourne. The Ath is Melbourne's oldest library, starting its life in 1839 just four years after Melbourne became a colony, and is filled with all the magic and history that you'd expect from a library of that vintage.
Over the past two months since I started my membership I've borrowed and read a new book every week, and I approach my visits to the library with all the excitement and anticipation that I did when I was a kid. I still feel like there's something vaguely mischievous about the whole thing – walking to down to the library in my lunch break and coming back with a bag full of books that I didn't pay for, and that they trust me to return when I'm finished. Amazing.
The second thing that has renewed my love of libraries is that I came across the Little Free Library movement. Basically, Little Free Libraries are tiny book boxes in front yards, bus stops, gardens and bike paths across the world where you can 'leave a book, take a book'. The movement started about three years ago, when Todd Bol from Wisconsin came up with an idea to remember his mother – a teacher who had a passion for reading and literacy. Todd crafted a box that looked like an old school house, waterproofed it, filled it with books and put it in his yard with a sign that said 'free book exchange'.
The idea took off, and all of a sudden, neighbours who Todd had never spoken to were dropping in to chat and look through the books. Three years later, there are Little Free Libraries everywhere from Africa to Australia, and Todd has a website (www.littlefreelibrary.org) where you can buy kits to create your own library. Little Free Library's mission is simple – "to promote literacy and the love of reading by building free book exchanges worldwide, and to build a sense of community as we share skills, creativity, and wisdom across generations". Double amazing.
Why not check out the Little Free Library World Map to find out if there's one near you, or even better, how about starting one in your neighbourhood and sharing some library love!

AT&T launches cloud-based storage service, offers 5GB of free space
I have a similar apprehension... I've not downloaded or signed up, because I simply don't trust AT&T to not change the deal or rules later... I'll wait and see what others experience first.
I downloaded but it won't let me log in yet. And why is a brand new app not already scaled for iPhone 5?
This is pretty cool. Too bad I can't get a data connection within a mile of my office and I can't get a signal within a mile of my house.
As soon as my new fives get in, it's good bye AT&T.
I had no problems with AT&T other than the fact that I paid $220 a month and couldn't get a signal. But they were friendly!

Apply to DTS
- Steps to Apply
- Complete an online application
- Send in references and transcripts (see materials section below)
- Complete an online application
- What Happens Next?
Once all of your items are received, the Admissions Committee will evaluate your application. Generally this process takes 3-4 weeks, during which you can check the status of your application any time.
- When Should I Apply?
We encourage applicants to apply four to eight months before the anticipated enrollment date, but no earlier than 15 months before that date. International applicants should submit all documents no later than three months before the start of their study. (Applications, except those for international students, may be submitted after the stated deadlines, but will be considered and processed only as time allows.) For more information, check the important dates.
Here are the application deadlines:
- Fall semester - July 1
- Winter or Spring semester - November 1
- Summer session - April 1
- What Materials Do I Need?
A nonrefundable fee of $50 must accompany the application.
For the full application, the following credentials must be submitted:
- Personal/character references from three individuals. One must be from a pastor. The other two, preferably, should come from a college professor (if currently enrolled in college or recently graduated), and a professional or businessperson. We ask that your references not be related to you such as a parent, brother-in-law, etc. Electronic reference forms can be emailed on your behalf if you provide your references' email addresses. .
- A completed "Validation of Church Relationship" form from the applicant's church. The form should confirm the applicant's membership or regular participation in good standing. (Note: This is in addition to the reference from a pastor.)
- Official transcripts from all colleges and universities attended. We need an official transcript from every school where you earned 12 credit hours or more. Final approval for admission is contingent on receiving an official transcript verifying conferral of the qualifying degree. An official transcript is one issued by the college, sealed in an envelope, signed across the envelope and sealed by the school's registrar. (This does not apply to DMin applicants.)
- Demonstration of English proficiency. Applicants for whom English is not their native or birth language must submit scores for the TOEFL.
- Assessment test scores. Certain applicants are required to submit results of assessment tests to supplement their undergraduate academic record. Assessment test scores are required as evidence of academic aptitude when: (1) the preseminary academic record is weak (a GPA of less than 2.5 on a 4.0 scale), or (2) the applicant does not hold a baccalaureate degree from an accredited institution. Scores on either of two assessments can be used for this purpose: the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) or the Miller Analogies Test (MAT). (This does not apply to DMin applicants.)
- More Details
A Word on Assessments
The GRE General Test is administered across the United States and Canada. You can learn more at www.gre.org. The institutional code for reporting scores to the Seminary is R6156.
The MAT is administered at colleges and universities throughout the United States. You can learn more at www.milleranalogies.com
Either assessment is acceptable for the purpose of application evaluation. Feel free to call us if you want to discuss which test may be a better fit for your situation.
How We Evaluate
As an applicant, you will be evaluated on the basis of (1) your academic records, (2) the extent and quality of involvement in Christian service, (3) your apparent gifts and potential for placement into Christian ministry, and (4) the assessment of your references.
Admission is not approved until barriers to future ministry placement have been dealt with, including not only emotional, financial and personal stability, but also issues of character, behavior and lifestyle. Applications are evaluated on receipt of all necessary information.
Completed application files are reviewed by a faculty committee, and if approved, applicants are notified in writing of their approved application.
Applying for Financial Aid
If you need financial aid, you should submit your application for admission as soon as possible, since financial aid applications are not considered until applicants are accepted for admission. International applicants desiring to be considered for financial aid for the fall semester must submit the completed application (including TOEFL score) by January 15. In general, because of the very limited availability of financial aid, you should look into alternate means of supporting your education as well (DMin applicants are not eligible for financial aid).

Hey Everyone,
I had my daughter at 37 weeks in 2010 due to PIH. I am currently 28 weeks pregnant with my son, and have been on BP meds since about 20 weeks. I started at 100 mg Labetalol once a day, was raised to 100 mg twice a day not long after that, and just last week my dose was raised to 200 mg twice a day. With taking 200 mg twice a day, I find that it drops my BP for about 4 hours and makes me feel cruddy, and then my pressures go right back up for the rest of the day. I called my OB's office yesterday, but they were gone for the weekend. I just wondered if anyone had ever been advised to stretch their doses out through the day. Maybe take 100 mg in the morning, and then 100 mg in the afternoon?

This story was corrected on May 16 at 4 p.m. An explanation follows the story.
Gaithersburg is getting closer to choosing a final plan for M-83, the proposed extension of Midcounty Highway.
At a worksession with the mayor and council at City Hall Monday evening, Bruce Johnston, Chief of the Montgomery County Division of Transportation Engineering, presented several options for an alternative to Md. 355 that would run between Clarksburg and Shady Grove.
In the 1980s, a county study determined that improvements to Md. 355 and Midcounty Highway would be required within 10 to 15 years to alleviate traffic congestion. But in the early 1990s, the Midcounty Corridor project was postponed, Johnston said, in favor of the widening of Md. 355 from two to six lanes. County officials have discussed the options for the extension of Midcounty Highway, also called M-83, since Md. 355's expansion was completed.
The county conducted a study of the Midcounty Corridor area, which runs east to west from Wightman Road and Brink Road to I-270, and north to south from Clarksburg Town Center to I-370.
The original 11 options for M-83 have been reduced to six options.
The study rated each option based on how well it reduces congestion, accommodates future growth and projects such as the Corridor Cities Transitway, provides bicycle and pedestrian connections, improves emergency response time and reduces commute time. The option that would reduce congestion, improve safety and commute time and connect economic centers most efficiently, according to the county, is Alternative 9.
Under this alternative, Md. 124, the existing Midcounty Highway, would be widened from four lanes to five lanes from Goshen Road to Montgomery Village Avenue. A new road would be constructed behind Watkins Mill Elementary School and connect with the end of Middlebrook Road near Grassy Knoll Terrace, on the east side of Md. 355. The portion of Middlebrook Road between Md. 355 and the extension, currently a two-lane road, would be widened to seven lanes.
The county also presented several options for the northern stretch of M-83 within Alternative 9, but did not discuss them in depth at the worksession.
Johnston said in previous iterations of Alternative 9, there were concerns about the road's impact on wetlands. That impact has been reduced so that only one acre of wetlands will be affected by the construction, Johnston said.
Gaithersburg Lead of Long-Range Planning Rob Robinson said the city has been opposed to anything that would drive more traffic onto Md. 355.
Councilmember Henry Marraffa said he has been familiar with the M-83 project for years. Trying to redesign the Montgomery Village Avenue intersection would bring in "another hailstorm," he said.
Anything that does not fix that intersection "is defeating the purpose" of infrastructure improvements, he said.
The mayor and council plan to review the study before making a decision about the alternatives they favor.
A public hearing on the county's study of the Midcounty Corridor is expected to be held this summer.
An ad hoc committee presented its ideas for the revitalization of Constitution Gardens, a public park located at 112 Brookes Ave. in Olde Towne.
The park was once the site of the Gaithersburg Library before it was destroyed by a fire in 1981. An adjacent residential development now has a clubhouse and swimming pool on the land, and the rest, owned by the city, is a public park.
According to members of the Constitution Gardens Ad Hoc Improvement Committee, graffiti, vagrants and trash have negated any welcoming aspects of the park. At the worksession at City Hall Monday evening, committee members Dawn Studniarz and Deanna Holford proposed a new design for the park that would open it up to the public and clearly separate it from the residential development.
The gazebo currently on the site would move closer to the street, and art, educational plaques and a rain garden could be added, Studniarz said.
The city council strongly supported the committee's suggested design.
"It exceeds my expectations by far," Councilmember Jud Ashman said.
Correction: A previous version of this story said Councilmember Cathy Drzyzgula was concerned that Alternative 9 would drive more traffic into the intersection of Montgomery Village Avenue and Md. 355. The councilmember was speaking about Alternative 8, a truncated version of Alternative 9.
The story also stated that the county supported Alternative 9. The county has not yet chosen an alternative to support.

Though it's been a little cooler and very rainy these past couple of weeks, Fourth of July will feel more like a typical summer day in South Carolina.
According to the National Weather Service in Columbia, there's a 40 percent chance for precipitation throughout the day. Today is predicted to not be as wet as it was on Wednesday, as several portions of the CSRA experienced some steady, heavy rainfall.
For the rest of the weekend through Sunday, the chance of rain will range from between 30 to 50 percent.
National Weather Service Hydrological Meteorological Technician Al Moore said the transition to a "more typical summerlike pattern" starts today, meaning that the mornings will be mostly dry and as the day heats up, scattered storms will pop up around the afternoon hours.
Moore added the temperatures will be a little warmer with the high reaching 87 but it's still not as close to the average of 93 degrees. On Wednesday, the high was only 83.
"That shows how much below normal we've been in the last couple of days," Moore said. "We won't get that warm tomorrow or Friday, but we're trending back in that direction."
Temperatures from today to Sunday are forecast to reach the high 80s to the low 90s and will dip into the low 70s at night.
The humidity will continue to be high, Moore said.
The skies will be mostly cloudy today, but that shouldn't impact too many firework displays in the CSRA. Moore said the clouds should be elevated enough, which is a favorable condition for fireworks shows.

Here's what we all know to be true: petroleum products are being consumed by an increasingly mobile world faster than foreseeable rises in production. As China puts its billion-and-change population on wheels, demand for oil, even with well-intentioned (but hopelessly inadequate) solar and wind farms in the picture, will drive scarcity. Prices will rise astronomically, giving more wealth and political clout to countries hostile to our way of life, and resulting in generalized economic chaos. Thus, it is argued, even if you don't buy into the gospel according to The Goracle, high priest of the global warming movement, we still must convert our transportation sector away from petroleum as fast as possible, even if it isn't economically justified.
As for the U.S., the world's largest consumer of fossil fuel, guided by no energy policy at all (except federally mandated fuel economy regulations, the equivalent of fighting the U.S. obesity epidemic by forcing clothing manufacturers to produce only small sizes), we all know that the percentage of imported oil will continue to rise, with the attendant geopolitical and economic risks.
It was armed with this solid, generally shared knowledge that I traveled to Houston to speak at a Deloitte & Touche oil and gas conference. Luckily, I attended the morning session before my noontime talk, and thus had a chance to rewrite my speech, full of the foregoing "knowledge" as it was, as an all-new paradigm had displaced my (un)comfortable "conventional wisdom" regarding the energy world.
Company after company, executive upon oil economist, all described the coming flood of North American oil and gas discovery and production. Whether Texas shale gas or Canadian bitumen, the Bakken field in North Dakota and southern Canada, coupled with advanced new exploration and extraction technology, it was a scenario of abundance. The highly volatile liquids bubbling forth from shales are already being piped to Canada, blended with their vast amounts of tar (bitumen) to form what is referred to as "dilbit," or diluted bitumen. The U.S. percentage of imported oil to domestic is already dropping, and will drop further.
The U.S. has gone from being a growing importer of liquefied natural gas, to the point where by 2015 we'll be exporting loads of LNG through new terminals being built on the Gulf Coast.
A senior oil economist told of his decades-long history of regularly explaining to audiences why U.S. energy independence was a pipe dream: he now was prepared to revise his forecast: the U.S. can be fossil-fuel self-sufficient in a period of a few years! There is so much greasy, oily and gassy stuff under the surface, it seems, that it's little wonder the oil companies aren't bleating more over the sacrosanct off-limits status of ANWAR, or, for that matter, the Obama administration's limitations on offshore drilling. Like, who needs it?
So, with "Peak Oil" exposed as yet another Chicken-Little fallacy, those of us who rejected the idea of CO2-caused planetary meltdown and instead embraced reduced dependence on foreign oil as a reason for widespread vehicle electrification are seemingly left with a solution, but no credible problem.
Or are we?
The fact is, the transition to petroleum independence will take time. Meanwhile, we remain at risk. A network of federal regulations mandating CO2 reductions is in place: electrification is inescapable for compliance. Finally — and in the long term, the most important — electric drive for vehicles is inherently more efficient than internal combustion, and the gap can only grow with the next generation of batteries storing five to 10 times as much energy as today's lithium ion batteries. Economic development and national wealth creation demand adoption of the most cost-effective solution. Electric drive does not meet that criterion today, but, in a few short years, it will. We need to stay with it.
But let's shed ourselves of the notion that "we're running out; gotta do something quick," or, worse, "we only have a short window in which to act before we face climatic Armageddon."
Electrification of the transportation sector can and will succeed on its own merits.

Pounds: New neighborsWritten by Tom Pounds | President / Publisher | firstname.lastname@example.com
In the wake of ProMedica's announcement it is moving its headquarters to Downtown Toledo and making a major infrastructure investment, it is very welcome news that the Lathrop Company is also planning to move to the heart of the Glass City.
As first reported by Toledo Free Press Staff Writer Tom Konecny, "The Lathrop Company — a construction firm responsible for building many of Toledo's signature landmarks — is moving its offices and more than 50 employees from Maumee to Downtown, either later this year or early 2015."
"Downtown was on our list of areas we were looking at," said Tom Manahan, president of Lathrop Company and senior vice president of Turner Construction Company, Lathrop's parent company. "In recent months there was real momentum about Downtown, and that option got more intriguing. It makes business sense for us, because a number of our clients and business partners are there, or are coming down there."
Konecny reported, "Lathrop's recent Downtown projects include Fifth Third Field and Huntington Center, and the company is also involved with the Mud Hens' new 'Hensville' development project, among others."
"Certainly plenty of challenges remain," Manahan said. "But when you see what's happened around the ballpark and arena, we think it's the right time for us."
I located Toledo Free Press near the intersection of Huron and Monroe streets in 2006 because I believed in the potential of the area around Fifth Third Field. That potential has been greatly realized as The Blarney Irish Pub, Table Forty4 and PizzaPapalis have joined other restaurants and galleries to fill in the Downtown area.
Mud Hens home Fifth Third Field is the cornerstone, but Downtown has a lot more to offer to the region's business and entertainment future.
There is a long way to go, but seeing companies such as ProMedica and Lathrop investing in Downtown further bolsters the movement to revitalize our region's hub.

Hey there, folks. Shorter update this week than usual because I've got a brand new baby at home and am a tad busy. For that same reason, it may be a bit quiet around here for a little while. This is our first, so I expect a sharp learning curve and reduced time for blogging.
Anyway, the cover story in GO! Magazine this week is about the Procession of the Species parade happening in downtown Bend Saturday, but it's worth noting that this week's local live-music opportunities are a veritable procession of the species, too.
We've got sweaty punk-blues (Hillstomp, Cicada Omega), a gathering of sweeping, celestial rock bands (Empty Space Orchestra, Hypatia Lake, Water & Bodies), cosmopolitan folk-pop artists (Bruce Cockburn, Catherine Feeny, Anastacia), garage-y indie-rockers playing for charity (The Autonomics, We Are Brontosaurus), a collective of electro-thump DJs celebrating a birthday (Slipmat Science), a couple of big-name Christian pop-rock acts playing worship songs (Phil Wickham, Leeland) and local hard rock (Stillfear, Audiolized), plus hip-hop (Afroman) and a roots-rock guitar hero (Tony Furtado).
Whew! Think about it — that's kind of an abundance of riches for little ol' Bend in the middle of April, don't you think?
So go poke around the music section until you find something that sounds interesting. And if that doesn't work, you can always check out our complete music listings. (Also, if you search this blog for Cicada Omega, Empty Space Orchestra, Water & Bodies, Catherine Feeny, Anastacia or The Autonomics, you'll find more about each. There's a little search box in the upper left-hand corner. Try it!)
Just for fun, here's a video of Hillstomp in action.
And here's one of Hypatia Lake.

First off, it's important to warn you that, like shopping at the supermarket, you should never write a Blog on an empty stomach. Especially one that talks about food.
I am eating hot crumpets, with a light smattering of butter on top. Salivating yet? This simple act has taken me on a journey home. I am in my mom's kitchen and it's tea time on Sunday afternoon. I am moaning about being hungry and she says something about kids in Africa and I say I'm still hungry. So out come my lovely toasted friends. There has to be cheese on top too. The very smell of them and the act of popping them in the toaster reminds me of these safe times in the bosom of my mother, now deceased.
I begin thinking about how food can create such intense associations with memory. We were not fancy eaters in our house. Indeed, I don't think a piece of pasta passed my lips until I was a grown woman. My parents did not understand it at all. Foreign muck. Whilst I think about this I am taking a short break to feed my face as I have now made myself hungry and it's lunchtime.
OK, I'm back.
In particular, I am thinking of childhood sweets. Candy. Call it what you will, it's a timeless treat for a child with wide eyes and an appreciation of colour.
Our local sweet-shop as kids for my brother and me was the newsagent. As for many kids in the UK in the 70s we were often given 10p to buy a little white bag of goodies, which we could happily cram full of ha'penny yummies for that tiny amount!
Frankly, looking back now, almost all of the sweets we used to eat have disappeared – perhaps this is because they were almost entirely inedible or unethical! Take Parma Violets for example. Whose stupid idea was that?! Sweets that taste like perfume? They smelled like my nan (whom I adored by the way – and I suppose it was better than wee).
These long thin paper-wrapped tubes seemed to overtake the traditional 'quarter' of sweets in a 3-cornered bag. Refreshers were a family favourite. "The fizz that gives you whizz" was the tagline (sad I know) and featured a granny on speed (or Refreshers presumably). No wonder our parents were reluctant for us to eat too many of them.
My favourites were Sweet Cigarettes. Now, let me tell you how my 11 year old feels about this revelation. Disgust, mild amusement and total disbelief that the manufacturers had the audacity to name them that way, and that we were allowed to buy them. My, how times change! Not only did we buy them (in bulk on occasion) but we pretended to 'smoke' them as if they were real. If I remember correctly they even had pink tips to simulate burning ash!!! But, my, they were tasty. Your favourite cartoon character would be depicted on the front – lovely child-friendly packaging and advertising!
Sherbert dabs were another treat. Still sold today but in modern form. The old-fashioned variety would be a little white bag of loose sherbert (colour of your choice if you were lucky), accompanied by a stick of liquorice to dip in to it. More speed.
I also remember the often forgotten Cherry Blobs, Pacers and sweet necklaces on elastic. – you can wear it and you can eat it – who knew?!
The newsagent was a place where children skulked in corners whilst adults purchased newspapers, but when the counter was free, the great family of giant jars came into view. Cherry Lips, Wine Gums, Chocolate Eclairs and Chewing Nuts, Honeycomb and 'Millions'. What a feast for the eyes!
When all was said and done, however, there was one particular sweet which has not only survived the test of time, but has probably been present at most of the defining moments of my progression through childhood. It was there when I fell out of a tree. It was there when I followed my brother and his mates on their Chopper bikes, frantically trying to keep up. It was there when I broke my arm on my plastic roller-skates. Of which old friend do I speak so fondly? It is the humble Bubble Gum.
Always pink and always individually wrapped. I must have chewed a thousand of them and swallowed around 500. This gave my mother grave concern for a number of reasons. One – she had no idea whether there was really any danger in eating the stuff, but she was highly superstitious anyway, so urban myths about stomach entanglement didn't really help. Two – I was, at that stage of my life, a hair sucker. I used to put chunks of hair into my mouth and chew it. It was a bad habit and at moments of great stress I occasionally still regress to hair sucking (feel my shame). My mother was convinced that the combined result of hair balls and sticky bubble gum entering my stomach would surely render me instantly comatose. There was no choice – the hair sucking had to go.
Food plays a great part in our lives, of course, but the extent to which it is present in our nostalgic imagery is fascinating to me. Evocative of a past era, a carefree childhood perhaps? Or maybe, like me, you are just plain greedy.
I'd love to hear from you with your memories of childhood, sweet-related or not!

You Oughta Be In Pictures
From what I hear it was a quick and painless shoot. The star of the production was experienced and prepared. Though there had been a few script revisions, the final product featured a number of engaging themes and informative ideas.
That's right, Cleaning & Maintenance Management and the Cleaning Management Institute decided to enter the movie business. Our first online training video recently appeared with no red-carpet premiere and little fanfare, but we created it to be a valuable tool. Produced to showcase the latest touch point cleaning methods, the video below is the perfect refresher for current workers and an ideal training video for new employees.
Though this is the first video that we have produced, it definitely won't be the last. As the new Editor of Cleaning & Maintenance Management, I look forward to providing important and useful information to our audience, no matter the medium. Webinars, magazine articles, e-Newsletters, online exclusives, white papers, downloads and now videos, the Cleaning & Maintenance Management team is working hard to provide you pertinent information in a number of convenient formats.
And, as we dive headfirst into this age of new media, we will always be interested in reader/viewer feedback. Do you have an idea for our next video? Is there a new cleaning method you want to learn more about? What are some common challenges you deal with in today's cleaning industry?
Feedback can only help CMM and CMI as we continue to evolve as a media brand. Please, feel free to contact me with any questions, comments or ideas at firstname.lastname@example.com or 205-408-3744.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to grab some popcorn and watch that video again. I hear there may be some hidden hints about the upcoming sequel.
Phillip Lawless is Editor of Cleaning & Maintenance Management magazine; he can be reached at email@example.com. A graduate of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, Lawless has over 13 years of professional writing and editing experience.

Ryan Juarez completed his senior season at Northridge with a 4-6 record, tied for the most wins on the team, and a 5.92 ERA. He notched two saves in 22 appearancs (four starts) and tied for second on the staff by fanning 43 batters. Juarez threw a scoreless ninth inning on Opening Day to finish off the combined shutout vs. Seattle University (2/18), pitched 4.0 innings in relief vs. Seattle (2/20), and came on to pitch at the point of resumption in a game that was rained out the day before and pitched 6.2 innings, striking out six to earn his first win of the season vs. Valparaiso (2/26). He pitched the final 2.2 innings to earn his second win of the year in the extra-innings victory over San Francisco (3/5), earned his second save of the season in the victory over San Diego State (3/8), and pitched three scoreless innings in the loss to Sacramento State (3/18 Gm. 1). He pitched 3.0 innings in relief and struckout six at UNLV (4/5), started the game and pitched 6.0 innings, striking out three at Cal Poly (4/15), and pitched 5.1 innings and scattered 10 hits to earn the win over Pacific (4/21). Juarez threw 3.0 innings in relief and recorded the win in a victory over UC Santa Barbara (5/7), and pitched 1.1 innings, inducing a double-play and retiring each hitter he faced at Long Beach State (5/22). He finished his career with 41 starts in 69 appearances, a 17-22 record, two saves, a career 5.57 ERA in 281.1 innings, and 159 strikeouts to 109 walks. Juarez ranks seventh in school history for innings pitched and is tied for sixth in appearances.
Ryan Juarez started in 16 of the 18 games he appeared in, finishing with a 3-7 record and a 5.52 ERA. He became the first of three Matadors to throw a complete game this season, accomplishing the feat nearly one year to the day after earning the only complete game for CSUN in 2009. He came two K's away from doubling his career total in strikeouts as the right-hander fanned 57 batters in 2010, allowed only 28 walks in his 89.2 innings pitched, the highest amount of innings thrown by any Matador this season, and was named the team's opening day starter and struck out four batters vs. Bethune-Cookman (2/19). He pitched a team-high 9.0 innings and struck out eight batters, both new career highs vs. Pepperdine (2/26), tied his career high by fanning eight batters during his 7.2 innings pitched as he earned his first win of the season at LMU (3/12), and threw 6.0 innings, struck out two, and allowed zero earned runs at Seattle (3/19). He threw five full innings and allowed only two earned runs in his no-decision vs. Sacramento State (3/26), only allowed one hit in his start at Pepperdine (4/6, Gm. 1), and struck out six in his 7.1 innings of work at Cal State Bakersfield (4/9). Juarez tied his season high by striking out eight batters vs. Cal Poly (4/16) and was the first Matador in 2010 to throw a complete game, the first since he accomplished the feat nearly one year and one week ago to the day, at Pacific (4/23). In the same game, Juarez allowed just one run and struck out five in the Matadors' 8-1 victory. He threw four full innings and struck out three batters vs. UC Davis (4/30), threw 1.0 inning at UNLV and did not give up a hit, striking out one Rebel in the process (5/18), and did not allow a hit and struck out two of the three batters faced vs. UC Riverside (5/25).
Juarez started 14 games on the hill for the Matadors, the most on the team, and started the game for the Matadors vs. Pepperdine and gave up seven hits scattered throughout his 6.0 innings pitched, picking up five strikeouts in CSUN's first victory of the season (2/21). He struck out two batters in 5.0 innings for the win vs. Texas Tech (2/28), earned his third win of the season after allowing only two earned runs in 7.2 innings, and did not walk one batter in game one vs. Columbia (3/21), and pitched a season-high 8.0 innings in a 9-4 victory over #19-ranked UCSB (3/28). He allowed only six hits in his 7.1 innings pitched vs. Cal State Fullerton (4/9), pitched the Matador's first complete game of the season and allowed zero earned runs at Long Beach State (4/17), and gave up only one hit in 2.2 innings pitched at UC Irvine (5/1). Juarez struck out five batters in 6.1 innings pitched and earned his fifth win of the season vs. USC (5/9), earned his sixth victory of the season with a 7.0 inning, three strikeout performance vs. Pacific (5/15), and allowed only two runs in 6.0 innings during the Matador's 4-3 victory at UC Davis (5/22). He tied for the team high mark in wins with seven and threw a team-high total of 84.2 innings.
Juarez appeared in 15 games and compiled a 3-4 record with a 6.45 ERA and was named the starting pitcher on seven occasions last season. He pitched 44.2 innings, collected 22 strikeouts and picked-off one baserunner. He fanned five batters, allowed zero earned runs, and only gave up two hits in a 7-0 shutout victory against UC Santa Barbara (4/22) and allowed only one earned run and three hits in 7.0 innings pitched vs. UC Irvine (5/4).

An Introduction to Golf Ball Types
Monday, May 19, 2014
Golf Ball Construction
Knetgolf is the world's largest internet retailer of premium used and recycled golf-balls, selling over 200 different types of golf balls and satisfying over 200,000 customers annually. In order to help you better understand the golf ball, Knetgolf has written an in-depth article answering some of the questions about golf-ball construction.
What's inside a golf ball?
If you are like most of the rest of us, then you've thought at some point of another about what's inside a golf ball. There was a time when it was an easy question to answer, for golf ball construction was relatively simple..
Evolution of Golf Ball Construction
With the first recognizable form of the game of golf being played in Scotland in the early 1400's, the common golf ball has had nearly 600 years to evolve. Golf ball construction has been through many upgrades and enhancements throughout the history of the game.
Golf Balls Throughout the Ages
There are four distinct stages in the evolution of the golf ball.
Wooden Golf Balls...
With the game of golf getting its roots on the East Coast of Scotland, the first golf balls were made of wood. Wooden clubs were also often used in conjunction with these balls.
Wooden golf balls were used from the mid fifteenth century until the seventeenth century, when the feathery ball was invented.
Feather Stuffed Leather Covered Golf Balls...
In 1618 a new type of golf ball was created by handcrafting a cowhide sphere stuffed with goose feathers. The 'Featherie' golf balls were manufactured while the leather and feathers were wet.
The time-consuming processes involved in creating a Feathery golf ball ensured that the price was out of reach of the masses. Though expensive, this type of ball had great flight characteristics and made the wooden ball virtually obsolete. For over three centuries the Featherie was the standard, only to be replaced with the advent of the Gutta Percha ball.
Gutta Percha (Gutty) Golf Balls...
In 1848 Dr. Robert Adams began creating golf balls out of Gutta Percha "Gutty". The Gutty golf ball was derived from the dried sap of the Sapodilla tree. It had a rubber-like feel and was formed into ball shapes by heating it up and shaping it while hot.
Almost by accident, it was discovered that golf balls with improperly smoothed surfaces often flew straighter and further than their smooth counterpart. This gave birth to the hand Hammered Gutta Ball. These golf balls were hammered with a consistent pattern throughout with a sharp edged hammer.
Rubber Core Golf Balls...
The advent of the rubber core golf ball changed the face of the game of golf as we knew it. This new design was invented in 1898 by Coburn Haskell in association with the BF Goodrich Company. This new and unique golf ball construction and design featured a solid rubber core, high tension rubber thread wrapped around the core, and a Gutta Percha cover.
This new breed of golf ball also featured a much larger variety of outer designs for improved airflow. The mesh, reverse mesh and Bramble designs gave way to the dimple pattern first used in 1908.
Modern Golf Ball Construction
The first automatic winding machine was patented in 1900 by John Gammeter. This allowed the rubber core golf ball to be economically mass produced. From the original wooden ball to the modern rubber-cored , the evolution of the golf ball has changed the way we play the game of golf.
Wound Golf Ball Construction
Wound golf ball construction is when golf balls have rubber thread wound around
one of two kinds of cores: a liquid center, where the core is liquid-filled; or a solid center, in which the core is made of synthetic rubber. This is then wrapped in either a balata, surlyn or another cover whereas Balata covers are rarely made nowadays. The answer to golf ball construction is no longer simple. Many golf ball manufacturers today use different types of materials in the core and even the cover of their balls.
The characteristics of wound golf balls is greatly influenced by the combination of the core and cover material. Generally speaking wound balls are excellent when it comes to spin effect but perform poorly when it comes to carry or distance. Moreover, due to the soft cover materials used to increase the effect of the winding around the core, wound golf balls lack durability.
One Piece Golf Ball Construction
One piece golf balls are golf balls made of a single, high-restitution synthetic rubber
Two Piece Golf Ball Construction
Two piece golf balls are dual-structure golf balls in which a high-restitution core is wrapped in a cover. This configuration enables the energy at
impact to be transferred efficiently to the ball in flight.
While the core of a two piece golf ball is made of a resin type material, the cover has an extremely durable surlyn coat. Manufacturers keep putting an enormous amount of money into the development of new materials that could be used for core and cover such as titanium for example. A harder golf ball will not be compressed as much on impact, which is usually the case with a 2-piece ball, and will tend to slide further up the face of the club head resulting in an higher take-off angle.
Multi-layer Golf Ball Construction
Multi layer golf balls are multi-layer golf balls in which the core material is wrapped in multiple covers. As a result of the latest advances in technology, manufacturers are now able to flexibly combine materials, degrees of hardness, specific gravity, and so on, in ways that enhance a variety of performance features
Three Piece Golf Ball Construction
3-piece golf balls or Multi-Layer Balls are usually made of a large synthetic core, a thin mantel and a coat.
For optimized weight centering some manufacturers use Tungsten-weights in the centre of the synthetic core. A golf ball which is compressed more on the clubface like most wound balls will not slide up the face as much. Because of the ball's greater deformation the reshaping process is more dynamic and the ball has a flatter take-off angle, a higher rate of rotation, more lift and therefore a higher trajectory.
A three-piece golf ball is generally spins more sideways than a 2-piece ball.
Four Piece Golf Ball Construction
4-piece golf balls or Multi-Layer Balls have a small inner core surrounded by the actual core (synonymous with the 3-piece ball design).
This inner core is surrounded by a thin inner mantel which transmits the relevant distance characteristics from the coat to the core and is thus responsible for that special Balata-feeling.
Golf Ball Dimples and Aerodynamics
All golf balls are designed with dimple patterns on the cover to optimize the balls aerodynamics. The dimples can control many different aspects of shots like distance, velocity, spin control, straightness and trajectory.
Golf Ball Drag
There is two types of drag behind a sphere when it is airborne, laminar and turbulent. Laminar flow occurs over a non-dimpled golf ball and the air separates very early in front of the ball, resulting in less carry. A turbulent flow will occur with a dimpled golf ball because it causes the air to not split as soon and increases the pressure drag. Pressure drag is the air separated behind the golf ball.
Golf Ball Lift
A golf ball's dimples also assist with the ball's lift because they can keep the flow 'attached' while the golf ball spins backward. The backspin increases the speed of the upper surface of the golf ball with less friction than the bottom of the golf ball, which decreases in speed due to more friction. The air that passes over the golf ball gets dragged around to the back of the ball, producing its lift.

She slid up to the counter in the dark office and pushed the necessary documents across the chocolate brown wood towards the woman standing stern and tall behind. "I'd like to choose a date to be married!" she exclaimed, giddy with pride and excitement. Despite her still-broken French, she answered all the questions and signed all of the papers. She was ever-so careful selecting the date; she had heard that marrying on a Tuesday or a Thursday was good luck in the Jewish religion so she chose a Thursday to be married. The 23rd… sounded very lucky as well, and she marked it down and confirmed with one sharp nod. And ran home to tell her man.
"What?!" he cried. "A Thursday?! How could you choose a Thursday? My parents haven't closed the shop one single day in the thirty years since it has been open for anything or anybody! They'll refuse to come to our wedding!" He was distressed, to say the least, but she wouldn't budge, calming him with her assurance that it would all turn out well and for the best. And married they were after that very brief courtship, married they were twenty-five years ago on a sunny July morning following several days' preparation, cooking their own wedding lunch, baking their own wedding cakes and gathering around them a few selected family and friends. And, sure enough, his parents closed up the shop, put on their Sunday best and followed the wedding party to City Hall where they watched their only son marry the woman he loved who loved him back. The Champagne (supplied by these very same joyfully happy parents) flowed, the food was lavish, the laughter exuberant and the two began their life together wrapped in warmth and merriment.
And they lived happily ever after.
Twenty-five years we have been married, sticking together through thick and thin, the ups and downs so high and so low like a mad crazy roller coaster ride, the joys and difficulties of parenthood, the pleasures and madness of a culturally mixed marriage. Twenty-five years of date nights and family vacations, of exhausting workaday weeks and long months working side by side, of four countries and three languages and two religions and one love.
Love at first sight, perfect marriage, soulmates, all the old clichés gather around us and we bat them around like flies. True, not true? Who can pinpoint when it began? Who can put their finger on the exact definition of what one means to the other? Who can define what is perfect and what isn't? We move through the years gingerly, trying this and that, trial and lots of error, dancing around traditions and assumptions and each other, pushing against walls of rules and expectations. Arguments, compromise, stubborn refusals and making it up as we go along. Laughing at our own foibles and at the other's quirks and eccentricities, trying to laugh when crying seems to be the easiest thing, hoping when desperation comes more naturally.
Twenty-five years today and we are on the cusp of a brand new life. A new apartment, our boys grown, both of us beginning new projects and new careers, life is an on-going adventure that is exciting and terrifying at once. Whatever brought us together, that spark, that curiosity and intrigue, that je ne sais quoi is still alive and kicking although over the years it has metamorphosed into something more honest and solid. Oh, romance is still there, the flowers and Champagne, the date nights and weekend getaways, yet that old romance is punctuated now by private jokes and easy comfort, making it all that more delicious.
Our twenty-fifth wedding anniversary will be spent buying neither diamonds nor Champagne but tools and renting a sanding machine, our afternoon spent in a notary office signing the papers which will make us the proud owners of a new Love Nest. With Marty slowly healing at home as best he can, our evening will be quiet and relaxing en famille.
I loved the Cherry Prosecco Granità so much that I knew that replacing the cherries with peaches and the sparkling Rosé Prosecco with white Prosecco would make a stunning treat. And it did. More like a sorbet this time than a granità, and using the Cartizze Prosecco gave a gentler hint of wine, making for a fruitier sorbet. Beautiful! And perfect for toasting the twenty-five years of marriage gone and the twenty-five years of marriage to come.
I want to share this with Jeanne and Meeta for this month's Monthly Mingle. This month's Mingle theme, chosen by Jeanne, our hostess with the mostess, is a Taste of Yellow for Barbara. You have read my post on the passing of a friend and beloved and generous food blogger, Barbara of Winos & Foodies who recently lost her very long battle against cancer. This Monthly Mingle is for her. We are all cooking and baking in yellow. I already posted a first Yellow entry, Milan-Style Asparagus with runny egg and Parmesan.
Thanks to the wonderful people at Bisol Prosecco and at Nielsen Massey for generously sponsoring From Plate to Page and offering me bottles of gorgeous Prosecco and bottles of exquisite extract (vanilla, lemon and coffee). Keep an eye out on the Plate to Page website and blog to win an amazing goodie bag filled with amazing products!
Adapted from a recipe in Marie Claire Idées summer recipe issue
14 – 16 oz (400 – 450 g) fresh ripe yellow peaches
5/8 cup (150 ml) Bisol Prosecco or any other sparkling or dry white wine
6 Tbs runny/liquid honey
¼ tsp Nielsen Massey lemon extract or 2 tsps lemon juice
Peel the peaches (if very juicy, peel the peaches over the bowl of the robot mixer or blender to catch the juice) and remove the pit/stone (discard). Cut the peaches into chunks, place in a robot mixer or blender and mix to purée. Pour the peach purée into a bowl.
Add the Prosecco, the honey and the lemon extract or lemon juice and blend or whisk well. Pour the liquid into a freezer-safe container, a metal pan or a plastic container, preferably with a lid, and place in the freezer. The larger and shallower your pan (8 x 12 x 1 inch/20 x 30 x 2 cm), the quicker the sorbet will be ready to eat.
For a shallow pan, stir the sorbet every 15 minutes or so, using a fork, spatula or metal spoon, until ready to serve. For a deeper container, stir every few hours and then leave in the freezer overnight. Stir it up before serving.
Serve as is for a refreshing, flavorful treat. For a summery, elegant dessert, serve with fresh raspberries and strawberries.

"People seem to use this as a proof text that people dont have an excuse for knowing God (although I argue it doesnt say anything about not having an excuse for not knowing the means of salvation), so what are your thoughts?" ---------------- Whenever the subject comes up of what happens to the African who never heard the Gospel, the above scripture is usually the one quoted to justify the fact that billions of souls will be tortured forever. This is usually the only scripture quoted to justify God. Taken out of context and put into the discussion of justifying God's behavior, this seems like a reasonable Scripture to quote. But when we put the Scripture back into its context in the entire book of Romans, and put those words into the apostle's mouth who never preached a hell of eternal torment in this or any other book he wrote, we then discover that this passage has nothing to do with the subject of the African who never heard of the Gospel. If you don't believe Paul never preached hell, look into the Strong's Concordance and look up the word "hell." You will discover it is mysteriously absent from Paul's vocabulary. The apostle to the world seems to be preaching a different deliverance than the modern church is preaching. Paul wrote that if anyone preached another gospel other than his, let him be accursed. Paul never preached "hell." Where does that put the "modern gospel?" It should be obvious to anyone who will study this passage, that if one concludes that it is possible to "get saved" by looking at creation and discovering there must be a God, then Jesus died needlessly, the Gospel would serve no purpose, and there is another way of salvation other than the Gospel. Most of the world believes there is a god based upon looking at creation. Does that save them? Is a Moslem saved because they believe in a god? Was the Roman pagan even more saved because he believed in several gods? Since when does looking at a cloud bring one to "Christ crucified?" And if looking at creation, and determining there is a god can bring righteousness, how does that line up with many other passages from Paul that clearly declare, "There is none righteous, nay, not one." That includes those under the law (Jews) and those not under the law (all the rest of us). Please observe that the list in verse 29 through 31 refers to people here on earth, not in hell and the penalty is death, not "eternal punishment." Putting this Scripture back into its proper context, we find it connected to a "therefore." This "therefore" connects what was previously discussed. "Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. (Romans 2:1) Now that turns the tide a bit. The very person who places these people in "hell" and says they are without excuse is actually condemning people, judging people while they practice the very same thing! - Gary Amirault
