Put down the pipe. Step away from the drugs. It has severely clouded your judgement. Take a deep breath and try again to be coherent.
@caforbama, why would anyone want GM? You said he was a high school coach that the rest of the SEC would catch up to. Oh yes...you laso said UA was banned from TV during their probation. Shows you know nothing....not even about your own team. You are like TMC and BD2010, a bunch of front running dolts.
Slow down there BM. I for one hav said all year I would worry about a one game match with O. They are fast, skilled and talented to say the least. This game should be very entertaining. I will say that I hope AU shows to have a physical edge and I believe that will be the case. Don't make generalized brush strokes, my friend.
Does it really matter? I think Meyer and maybe Saban at LSU. Who cares? What matters is this year and this team seems to be unwilling to be denied. Enjoy the moment and stop the trash. Leave that for the less fortunate.
I was on record after Clemson as saying if we didn't have our best week of practice that week we would lose to SC. I also said our O line and D play was not good enough to win them all. I maintained that thought process for several weeks but after the team seemed unwilling to lose I began to beleive. I would have never thought this team could turn out an effort such as last night based on the rest of the season. I am glad to know I was wrong. As it was in 04, the team evolved and became great in-season. In 04 it was the LSU game that made them beleive. This year it was probably the Ark game. Maybe it was the final drive at KY. Don't know and don't care. All I know is this team is a true team and they are on their way to Glendale and I for one will follow.
Both teams ha chemistry. 04 had the #1 scoring D. That is why it is laughable when dolts state that USC would have run AU like they did OU. However, I have never seen a college team as cohesive as this one. Newton is the best college QB I have ever seen. Third and 8 is a personal challenge to him and not much of an obstacle. He doesn't turn the ball over and he demoralizes opposition with his arm and legs. He puts a team on his back and carries them to greatness. Say what you want but he is unrivaled. How many times in his life do you suppose experts suggested he concentrate on being a tight end or D end because his future would be at that position?
@madison"parent", Here's hoping you don't rear your children to be as cynical and bitter as you. You punks amaze me at your selective morality. This is all you have to hang your hat on? Really?
I hope not. I know I wasn't. Heck, even Bear raised his glass to that one last night.
Who says SC can't win? I have heard several predict a victory for them. The curiouser and curiouser question would be why does a UA beat writer care to chime in? Not surprising, just shows an obvious dislike for the Gamecock's opposition today.
Went back and watched the SC AU game last night and saw an AU team that missed several scoring opps by turnover and penalty that could have put the game away early. And the perpetual myth that had Spur left Garcia in would have probably beat AU is pretty lame. That crap statred teh night of the game by Finebaum. Shaw drove the ball down the field on AU like just about everyone else. The first int at the AU 17 was a good play by Bynes and the last was a deflected pass that Jeffrfey had both hands on. So I throw the BS flag on Garcia being pulled was the difference.
Nothing more sad than the wishful thinking mob screaming about this mess. Lose more sleep if you must but I for one, like the NCAA, am moving on. This gig is put to bed. Sorry it didn't turn out like you hoped. But, hey, there's always next year and UA should have a great team next year. So I would be happy if I were you. We will more likely than not struggle next year.
What's not to like about him, nonsense? He is the best and most exciting player on CF in the last decade or so. We sure do like him and glad he is on our team.
Daba, stop talking to yourself.
And daddy was correct. Not a big revelation there. NFL first round signing bonuses alone are enough to make you rich.
You guys that are in total melt down just don't get it. How many times does it have to be explained to you? All you need do is pay attention to AUs posture when this came out. It was absolute. It was confident and stern. AU did nothing wrong therefore they had nothig to worry about. Not then and not now.
I know the two sides are like jews and gentiles but your sleepless nights have got to stop. Heck...you still got a lot of gamecock and duck cheering to do. Save up, buds. This crap is done. It's lights out and over. Deal.
Dude, that's harsh and unfair. The SEC has the deepest and tallest crop of WR in the nation. Heck the west alone has 2 top 10 picks. Our scheme and unwillingness to press is what has hurt the secondary. We had better press Sat and that may buy enough time for Fairley and crew to get Garcia. I would rather press and get beat than to wave at em as they blow by the zone.
He also didn't "supposedly/reportedly" say the money was too good either. He was reported by an unnamed and apparenlty unwilling to go public source as saying the money was too much.
Revisionist History program at UA is going strong. See NC count for reference.
We sincerely appreciate you allowing us to win so as to not negatively impact our season. It is so gracious of to do so just as we did you last year. A very nice and mutually benefical arrangement if I say so myself.
If you insist on spouting this same trite "quote" from yet another un-named source then at least get it right. According to the Joe Schad article Cam supposedly called someone within the MSU staff and said he was sorry he was not going to be able to sign with MSU becasue THE MONEY WAS TOO MUCH. Not the money was too good at AU. You guys keep trying in vain to create something that is not there. The fact of the matter is AU did nothing wrong and the NCAA has said they have found nothing outside Newton's father. It may infuriate you but those are the only facts thus far. Happy you are disappointed though.
I forgot one......ominous
This is close to what I had expected all along. Where's our buddy PBeav? I haven't heard from him since what...Thursday? Grave, dire, not looking good. That was about how he summed AUs chances withe the NCAA.
That's why dabear is spouting on a forum. Because you are just wishful thinking. You have no other basis for your argument other than hope. You say, if we can't beat them, perhaps someone else can.

Silver Alert issued for missing local woman
HUNTINGTON — A Silver Alert has been issued for a Huntington woman who was reported missing Friday.
The family of Joan Gardner, 84, reported her missing from her home in the south Queens Court area of Huntington at about 3:30 p.m. Friday afternoon, Huntington Police Lt. John Williams said in a press release Saturday morning.
A relative reported her missing after members of her family had tried to contact Gardner throughout the day Friday with no success, Williams said. The relative told police that Gardner recently has had some bouts of confusion.
He said relatives visited Gardner's home, but she was not there.
Gardner's vehicle, a 1998 gold Nissan Altima was not at her home. The car has West Virginia tags, and the number on the license plate is OK-1612.
Gardner is a white female, 5 feet 5 inches tall, who weighs about 130 pounds. She has gray hair and brown eyes.
Her relatives believe she may have traveled toward Ashland, where her son lives, Williams said.

With over 80,000 species worldwide, the Hemiptera (true bugs) are the 5th largest order of insects behind the Coleoptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera and Lepidoptera.
Members of the Hemiptera have characteristic sucking mouthparts called a rostrum (or proboscis) formed by modification of the mandibles and maxillae.
The hemipteran life cycle is technically hemimetabolous (no pupa), however, there are five instars (growth stages) from egg to final moult instead of the usual three.
The great majority of Hemiptera are plant feeders (phytophagous) using the rostrum to suck plant sap. This may cause some deformation to leaves but does not usually cause long term effects to the plant.
Some Hemiptera feed on other animals, but apart from the bed bug, there are few that bite humans.
Find out more about the the four suborders:
This is the largest Hemiptera suborder containing many varied bugs with differing life styles including the bed bug.
Explore this small and ancient group of unusual bugs with a Gondwanaland distribution (Chile, Australia and New Zealand).
Learn about the Auchenorrhyncha, the plant feeding bugs that include spittle bugs, lantern bugs and the vocal cicadas.
Find out about the Sternorrhyncha that includes four main groups of bugs with extreme morphological adaptations.
The Museum's Hemiptera collection is rich in type specimens.
The name true bugs distinguishes this group of insects from the colloquial 'bugs', a word often applied to anything vaguely insect-like.
Maxillae are the two bones that join together to create the upper jaw in many animals.
Metamorphosis that does not include a pupal stage. Instead the egg becomes a nymph that is similar to the adult except smaller and wingless.

White Sulphur Springs - American Jeff Overton fired a four-under par 66 to remain in the lead after Saturday's third round of the US PGA Greenbrier Classic despite a pair a low-shooting rivals.
Compatriots D.A. Points and J.B. Holmes flirted with historic rounds of 59 before faltering at the finish, Holmes completing a 10-under 60 with Points on 61, as Overton enjoyed a three-stroke edge through 54 holes on 18-under 192.
Overton, who began the day four strokes ahead, struggled at the start with birdies at the second and fifth, pulled one back with a birdie at the par-3 eighth, then birdied five of six holes starting at the 12th.
"It was kind of brutal there at the start. I was not quite in my element," Overton said. "You have got to hang in there tough mentally and I was able to hang in there."
Overton is seeking his first PGA title in a season that has seen him record four top-five finishes. Points also seeks his first tour crown.
Points was second on 195 with Boo Weekley third, five strokes off the pace after a third-round 67, and Holmes joining countrymen Jimmy Walker, Jonathan Byrd and Zimbabwe's Brendon de Jonge on 198.
The low rounds showed Overton, who fired a 62 on Friday, that his lead is far from safe.
"If you get it going you can really go low out here and somebody back there behind me is going to go nuts tomorrow," Overton said. "I'm going to have to come out and play well and have a lot of fun. We will see what happens."
Points opened and closed the front nine with birdies and birdied four holes in a row starting at the fourth to begin his surge. He added birdies at the 10th and par-5 12th, sank a 20-foot birdie at 13 and a 12-foot birdie at 16.
That put visions of a record-tying 59 or better into his mind.
"I was trying really hard not to think about it," Points said. "If I'm going to try shooting 59, playing great, I'm going to go down trying, not laying up."
That's what Points did at 17, taking a bogey six when a five-footer for par lipped out as he "tentatively wacked it around the green three times".
"It was a lot of fun," Points said. "I got a little nervous coming down the stretch. When I got in that bunker at 17, I got nervous. I didn't want to get too greedy. There's still a tournamwent to be won."
Points missed an 18-footer for birdie at 18 but tapped in a par from four feet to close on 61.
"We all have opportunity for stuff like this," Points said. "There has been a couple guys, and there's going to be somebody (Sunday) that will probably have an opportunity."
Holmes opened with a birdie but took his lone bogey at the third, then answered with birdies at four, five, seven and nine. He then birdied three of the first four on the back nine and closed with three birdies in a row.
After making the cut on the number, Holmes liked his chances of repeating the feat that Sweden's Carl Pettersson achieved last week, making the cut on the number but rallying at the weekend to win.
"You know, it's possible," Holmes said. "Maybe I get hot two days in a row and shoot 60-60."
The only 59s in US PGA history were all by US players - Al Geiberger in 1977, Chip Beck in 1991, David Duval in 1999 and Paul Goydos just three weeks ago at the John Deere Classic.

MADISON The Wisconsin Department of Justice has settled a lawsuit against Wayside Dairy Farm, Inc., for violations of state water pollution control laws at Wayside's confined animal feeding operation (CAFO) in Brown County.
According to the complaint, filed at the request of the Department of Natural Resources, Wayside Dairy, which owns approximately 1,400 cows, disposes of the manure and sand bedding from its operations by land spreading the material on farm fields. It violated the limits and restrictions in its wastewater discharge permit when it overapplied the wastes on a number of fields and spread 390 loads of manure/sand bedding on an unapproved field in late 2006. The complaint states that the wastes generated at Wayside's CAFO can, if not properly managed, contaminate groundwater, and that the geology in the vicinity of Wayside's facility is highly sensitive, with drinking water samples showing elevated nitrate levels in recent years.
Under the terms of the settlement agreement, Wayside has agreed to pay penalties and assessments totaling $56,250 for the violations. The settlement agreement also requires that Wayside repair its manure storage lagoon by December 15, 2009, to bring it into compliance with applicable regulations.
Assistant Attorney General Shari Eggleson prosecuted the case. The settlement was approved by Brown County Circuit Court Judge Sue E. Bischel.

A throw-in is a method of restarting play in a game of association football when the ball has exited the side of the field of play.
The throw-in is taken from the point where the ball crossed the touch-line. The throw-in is taken by the opponents of the player who last touched the ball when it crossed the touch-line, either on the ground or in the air.[1] Opposing players may stand at any distance from the thrower but no closer than 2 m (2.2 yd), so long as they are still on the pitch. A player may take a throw in at a distance further back from the touch-line, and, typically, a referee will tolerate small discrepancies between the position where the ball crossed the touch-line and the position of the throw in.
At the moment of delivering the ball, the thrower must face the field of play. He should have part of each foot either on the touch line or on the ground outside the touch line,[2] and use both hands to deliver the ball from behind and over their head from the point where the ball left the field of play.
The ball becomes in play as soon as it enters the field of play and leaves the hands of the thrower.
A goal cannot be scored directly from a throw-in – if a player throws the ball directly into their goal without any other player touching it, the result is a corner kick to the opposing side.[3] Likewise an offensive goal cannot be scored directly from a throw in - the result is a goal kick to the opposition team.
A player may not be penalised for an offside offence when receiving the ball directly from a throw-in.[4]
Handspring throw-in[edit]
The handspring throw-in is a dramatic type of throw-in, rarely used in competitive games, where the player completes a front handspring while holding the ball. Instead of landing on the hands during the handspring, the player's weight is momentarily supported entirely by the ball. This type of throw-in follows the rules that require the player to have both feet on the ground when he is releasing the ball, and that the ball is thrown from behind the head. Strong abdominal muscles are required for this throw-in.[5]
Steve Watson of Newcastle United employed the technique after he made his debut as a 16-year-old in 1990.[6] Former Brazil under-20 women's player Leah Fortune used the flip-throw to convert long throw-ins.[7]
If an opposing player fails to respect the required distance (2m) before the ball is in play or otherwise unfairly distracts or impedes the thrower, he may receive a caution (yellow card) for unsporting behavior.
If the thrower fails to deliver the ball as per the required procedure, or delivers it from a point other than where the ball left the field of play, the throw-in is awarded to the opposing team. This is commonly known as a "foul throw",[8] though such throws are not considered fouls.
It is an infringement for the thrower to touch the ball a second time until it has been touched by another player; this is punishable by an indirect free kick to the opposing team from where the offence occurred, unless the second touch was also a more serious handling offence, in which case it is punishable by a direct free kick or penalty kick.
A goal will not be scored directly from a throw in, nor can an own-goal. The restarts for each are a goal kick for the defending team, and a corner kick for the opposing team, respectively.
A goal keeper cannot handle a ball thrown directly to him by a teammate. This cannot be circumvented by the keeper using his feet first before handling the ball. If this infringement occurs within the goalkeeper's penalty area, an indirect free kick is awarded. If the infringement occurs outside the goalkeeper's penalty area, a direct free kick is awarded.
If, in the event that the goalkeeper takes the throw-in, the goalkeeper cannot touch the ball again until it has touched another player once it is in play. The proper restart for this infringement is an indirect free kick.
The optimal release angle for attaining maximum distance is about 30 degrees, according to researchers at Brunel University.[9] This angle balances the objectives of maximising height, which allows the ball more time to travel horizontally, while minimising air resistance, which slows the ball thus reducing its horizontal distance.
Delivering the ball into the penalty area from a long distance with a throw-in can be a great attacking skill, similar to a corner kick or an indirect free kick. This is a difficult distance to reach with a throw-in, and the ability to do so is a valuable skill. An early exponent of the skill was Bill Shankly when playing for Carlisle United and Preston North End in the 1930s. Shankly's dedication was such that he used to practise long throws during his summer breaks when he returned to his home village. He would throw balls over a row of houses and get the small boys of the village to fetch them back for him.[10]
Rory Delap, a midfielder for Burton Albion is known for his long-throw abilities having resulted in many goals for Stoke. In fact, the danger factor of Delap's long throw-ins for Stoke have resulted in opponents preferring to put the ball out for a corner rather than for a throw-in.
Historical origins of the throw-in[edit]
The modern throw-in comes from the nineteenth century English public school football games. In these codes of football a variety of methods of returning the ball into play from touch were used. The modern throw-in draws upon various aspects of a number early English school games. For example, returning the ball by throwing it out was part of the Rugby and Cheltenham football rules. Like the modern throw-in the direction was not specified. The Sheffield rules instigated the throw in of the ball at right angles by the opposite side to the one that played it into touch.[11] The two handed throw in—called line-out—is part of rugby union football. That the first side reaching the ball must throw it out (at right angles, in this case) was part of the Football Association rules and the Rossall rules.

Meat and potatoes, German style.
German cuisine reminds us of American food in its emphasis on meat and potatoes, but the focus on sweet and sour flavors is strictly German.
Popular sweet and sour dishes like sauerbraten (which combines a sour marinade with a sweet sauce) reveal a taste for flavors that hearken back to medieval cooking, when such combinations were popular across Europe. Vinegars, sugar, and fruits provide popular piquant sauces.
The German love of potatoes--enjoyed in salads, dumplings and pancakes--is rivaled only by the Irish. But it wasn't always so. In the mid-1700s, Frederick the Great of Prussia demanded that dubious peasants plant the curious kartoffel. Fondness followed, but gradually.
Roasted meats (braten), schnitzels, and sausages (there are more than 1,000 varieties) are star players of the German dinner plate. The prominence of meat-eating in German culture goes back to ancient times: Romans derided Germanic tribes for their vigorous meat consumption.

the market town
Welcome to Dingwall, the Market Town. Dingwall is a town with a long and rich history dating back to beyond the times when it was a Norse settlement. Sitting at the head of the Cromarty Firth, Dingwall was made a Royal Burgh in 1226 and the town and surrounding area is steeped in history, offering visitors the opportunity to enjoy many rich experiences when spending time in this outstanding part of the Scottish Highlands. Dingwall is the county town of Ross-shire and has been a centre for trade, administration and justice since Norse times and to this day continues to be at the centre of county activity. Served by excellent transport links and easy to reach by road, rail, bus or bike, there has never been a better time to come and visit.
Dingwall has the benefit of free parking and has ample parking space within easy reach of the High Street. The majority of the High Street is pedestrianised making the area an ideal place to enjoy a wide variety of shops.
Also enjoy the excellent range of cultural and leisure facilities on offer. From the knowledgeable local staff at the town Museum through to a wide choice of speciality cafes and shops and easy access to outstanding countryside for hill walking and trails, Dingwall provides a great base from which to explore many interesting and varied attractions including world class golf courses, local distilleries and breathtaking mountain scenery.
Dingwall in the Norse language means "meeting place", a name which even hundreds of years later is still very much apt to the spirit of the town. Dingwall has always been a great meeting place for people from all over the world and you can be assured of a warm and friendly welcome from the people of our unique town. Enjoy.

About The Dream Rocket Project
The Dream Rocket Project (DRP) launched in 2009, is collecting thousands (8,000) of artworks from various regions of the world. Eventually, all submissions will be connected side by side to wrap the skeleton of a 385′ Space Launch System (SLS) rocket replica. This wrapped SLS will be placed on temporary exhibit at locations around the United States. The SLS is NASA's dream rocket, representing their dream of going to Mars and beyond.
→Originally, DRP's intent was to wrap the 365′ Saturn V Moon rocket replica at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL from May-June 2015, however in October 2014 participants voted to pivot the project to reflect NASA's current dream rocket, the SLS.
New exhibit locations and dates will be announced asap. We are in the process of locating venue hosts and exploring ways the SLS framework might be constructed.
So far, we have received submissions from individuals residing in 19 countries, 48 states and 377 communities.
Submissions are in the form of textile art accompanied by essays, progress images, reports and examples of innovative approaches inside classrooms across our nation. Topics range from science, space, technology, conservation, education, freedom and equality.
Prior to the final installation, submissions have been exhibited in libraries, schools, museums and community centers. Artworks have been displayed at 153 venues.
Wrap Fabrication Plans "in the works"
View all plans in which we need volunteers to help with: fabrication plans.
The Dream Rocket Project has a center core presentation that allows for specific themes to be explored in light of the project as a whole. The focus in my approach has been that art is being used as a vehicle to explore topics, many of which relate to the Saturn V rocket in direct and indirect path ways. With this approach, all subject areas have been part of the work done by students at Tesseract.Science was a core foundation as NASA documentations on the rocket were supplied through participation. Understanding the key and critical role of the Saturn V rocket in exploration, applied mathematics, cultural significance, leadership applications of science and a nation, language arts, inventors and other suggested themes allowed students to see the reason behind wrapping their work based on various topics around the rocket. A continued focus was to see the relationship between themes and the art panels created.– Barbara at Tesseract School
DRP estimates that by the time we have received our target goal of 8,000 submissions, nearly 36,000 people will have contributed to a monumental 32,000 square foot wrap. The social and economic benefits to youth and their communities reveals a vibrant and visible program, marked by collaboration from individuals in all economic sectors.
On August 16, 2009 former CEO Larry Capps at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Alabama said, "It's a very interesting idea. We've always focused our efforts on the notion of getting youngsters excited about their future, and this program walks hand-in-hand with that goal. So, if wrapping the rocket might influence some budding young artist, or scientist, then we're behind it."
By exposing kids to the importance of collaboration through multi-disciplinary approaches we hope to inspire them to feel the freedom to DREAM big, THINK big and make a difference. By wrapping the SLS rocket replica with our dreams, the SLS exhibit can serve as an inspiring visual symbol of collaboration and perseverance.
A monumental achievement that was marked by collaboration, the Saturn V moon rocket is still considered the only rocket to have carried humans out of the Earth's orbit (until the SLS is successful): it is the ideal example of realizing an "impossible" dream. Over 500,000 people worked together to design and launch the Saturn V to the moon as part of the Apollo program during the 1960s and 1970s.
"America's new heavy-lift rocket will be the largest launch vehicle ever built and more powerful than the Saturn V rocket that carried Apollo astronauts to the moon. The 70-metric-ton-(77 ton) configuration will lift more than 154,000 pounds and will provide 10 percent more thrust than the Saturn V rocket while the 130-metric-ton-(143 ton) configuration will lift more than 286,000 pounds and provide 20 percent more thrust than the Saturn V. The first SLS mission—Exploration Mission 1—in 2017 will launch an uncrewed Orion spacecraft to demonstrate the integrated system performance of the SLS rocket and spacecraft prior to a crewed flight." – NASA
Neil deGrasse Tyson, astrophysicist at the American Museum of Natural History and Director of the Hayden Planetarium, encouraged us to incorporate the dream symbolism into the project when we began working towards wrapping the Saturn V because;
The Saturn V is the ideal icon to represent a big dream. This rocket…allowed our human species to venture beyond our world and stand on another – surely one of the biggest dreams of all time. Enabling the dreams of young people to touch this mighty rocket sends a powerful message. -Neil deGrasse Tyson
The Saturn V rocket is 363 feet tall, about the height of a 36-story-tall building, and 60 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty. Fully fueled for liftoff, the Saturn V weighed 6.2 million pounds, as much as 400 elephants. The rocket generated 7.6 million pounds of thrust at launch, creating more power than 85 Hoover Dams. NASA
All that work pays off! Just like a writer goes through many revisions of their work so an artist works and reworks a piece of art. Research ideas became rough drafts, rough drafts were revised, final plans generated media choices and finally quilt squares were created. The finished products were sent to the Kansas Cosmosphere in Hutchinson, Kansas and were put on display there. On Sunday, February 9th, the students and Mrs. Stateler traveled to Hutchinson to see their pieces along with the others from around the state. We want to take this opportunity to thank Ms. Marsh, the Cosmosphere and everyone involved in the Dream Rocket Project for allowing students from Dodge City Middle School to be a part of this one of a kind exhibit. –Dodge City Middle School.

Hey there M7D!
Hi Rex!
Howdy Pengy!
I pay all of my bills the old-fashion way. I would never trust a computer for something this important. Plus, when I write actual paper checks, I have more control of my money.
Well hello there!!!
Ok, shower done, lunch fixed...
So far I haven't had any problems paying bills online. As long as my computer keeps working! :lol: I even have automatic deposit for all my checks. Its annoying when I have to actually go to the bank to deposit something! My only problem is ignoring bills until they are due or... past due. But I'd do that if I was paying online or by check so.... :blush:
I pay most stuff online, only because I am forced to be so last minute about everything, which sucks.
On a brighter note, the pumpkin spice cookies I just baked are quite delicious!
Stacy........pumpkin spice cookies !
sound good...........:)
Like Rob.......I pay all of my bills the old-fashion way
I also, do not trust the computer.
And Aunt Pengy.....GO to Bed....you have long weekend at work
you be in my though's........
been a hard long work week for me ,been very tire.... also been hurting...
were I been going to bed eary myself..........
I try and pay a bill the day that I get it, or shortly thereafter. That way, it doesn't get put aside and forgotten.
---------- Post added 10-19-2012 at 10:18 PM ----------
What is this? A crowd is forming.
Yep, been a long time since more than a few of us were here.
Don't everyone talk at once.
Just got off the phone with my Mom. She turned 75 today.
Still in pretty good shape, she keeps flowerbeds around the house, and gardens.
oooh pumpkin spice cookies!!?? Oh I am so there! (I wish!)
I know I know... I WILL be going to bed early tonight.
Probably.... :D
That's wonderful Rob. I didn't do much in my garden this year, and now it's time to turn off the outside water. The vines, and leaves on my bushes are starting to turn some really pretty Fall colors the last few days.
Picture daughter took of her front yard.
Don't know who they belong to... but they were in her yard. I posted on her Facebook that horse doo is really good fertilizer! :lmao:
Nanners Jim! Glad you could drop by!
There are a ton of wild horses around my house. Some of them are not so wild anymore.......
If you want grass around here, you have to fence it off from the wild horses. They'll pretty much destroy a yard with grass.

The E-Fuel MicroFueler™ is the world's first portable ethanol micro-refinery system; it replaces the traditional ethanol reflux column system with a solid state distillation technology, making it possible for homeowners and small businesses to safely and cost-effectively create their own fuel, on-site.
The E-Fuel Corporation's technological breakthrough significantly reduces the size and weight of traditional fermentation and distillation systems needed to produce ethanol. Dedicated to the "produce where you consume" energy model, E-Fuel allows consumers to produce ethanol at the point of consumption, eliminating many problems associated with large-scale ethanol production, namely inefficient transportation and distribution, and the use of coal-fired electrical plants.
How It Works
The MicroFueler
has two main physical components: (1) a distillation apparatus combined with
the pumping station and a 50 gallon E-Fuel100™ pethanol holding tank (collectively
referred to as the MicroFueler); and (2) a 250 gallon Organic Fuel Tank to hold
organic waste for processing into E-Fuel100 ethanol by the MicroFueler. Reduced
to an appliance-sized unit, the MicroFueler has the same user-friendly LCD
interface found at most gas stations and is enhanced with touch screen
technology. This remarkable product uses micro sensors and state-of-the-art
semiconductor technology to keep the unit size small and the operation combustion
free. Eliminating combustion in the production of ethanol is a major
breakthrough in the MicroFueler design over convention ethanol production
techniques. True to its portable design, having a combustion free process makes
the unit safe for placement and operation in virtually any location*. To
further simplify the E-Fuel100 ethanol production for consumers, the
MicroFueler supports a variety of organic waste as fuel (among them are discarded
liquids rich in sugar, waste sugar, liquids with residual alcohol, cellulosic
materials** and even algae**). Processing organic waste material through the
MicroFueler is the ultimate environmentally friendly solution, as it uses
materials otherwise bound for landfills and converts them into fuel for your
home and business.
Get Off the Grid with the E-Fuel GridBuster™
Late in 2009 E-Fuel
will begin shipping our revolutionary new GridBuster electric generator. Homes
and business will be able to drop off the conventional and expensive electrical
grid and generate their own electricity. Through a direct connection to the
MicroFueler, the GridBuster is provided a supply of uniquely formulated
E-Fuel100 ethanol. The control circuitry of the MicroFueler manages the
GridBuster for optimal performance. The GridBuster is connected to the
household current through a special "Y" cable. When demand for electricity
exceeds the capacity of the GridBuster, electricity is automatically pulled
from the public electricity grid. The GridBuster dynamically calculates
electrical requirements and adjusts its operation to meet the demands. When
very little electricity is needed, the GridBuster drops down to an idle
operation saving fuel and revs up as demand increases.
E-Fuel Global Network
The E-Fuel
Global Network (EGN) is a necessary and important component to the operation
and monitoring of the MicroFueler. The EGN maintains a communications link with
all MicroFueler worldwide, 24x7, checking vital statistics, operating norms, as
well as billing and reporting for customers. In the event the EGN identifies a
condition which requires attention, a notification is sent to the responsible
party (dealer, distributor, end user, etc.). The EGN continues to monitor
notifications to insure timely follow-up so as to insure uninterrupted
availability of E-Fuell100 to the consumer. The EGN may be accessed on the internet
through its Dashboard interface. Customers may log into their account at the
E-Fuel web site (www.microfueler.com)
and view the Dashboard for each of their MicroFuelers. Data available includes
fuel available, system status, event log, account information, etc. The EGN is
by subscription. The first year is provided at no cost with the purchase of a
MicroFueler. Subsequent years are priced at $9.95 billed monthly or $99.95
annually in advance.
About Ethanol
Ethanol fuel is ethyl alcohol, the same type of alcohol
found in alcoholic beverages, but when used as a fuel it has been de-natured so
as to make it unsuitable for human consumption (NOTE: E-Fuel100 ethanol
produced by the MicroFueler is NOT suitable for human consumption and is
poisonous). As a fuel, it is a biofuel alternative to gasoline, and is widely
used in cars in Brazil among other places. Because it is easy to manufacture
and process, and can be made from very common materials such as sugar cane, it is
steadily becoming a promising alternative to gasoline throughout much of the
Ethanol, similar to alcohol, blends easily with water.
Unlike gasoline, you may add water to ethanol under certain circumstances to
"stretch" the ethanol for various applications. For example, the direct GridBuster Generator Port on the MicroFueler blends water with E-Fuel100 ethanol (50%/50%
blend) before it is supplied to the E-Fuel GridBuster electric generator. This
blend results in optimal efficiency in powering the generator -- providing fuel
rated at very high octane (220+). E-Fuel scientists have experimented with
multiple blends of ethanol and water and have determined, contrary to conventional
wisdom, small amounts of water improve the efficiency of burning ethanol.
Accordingly, E-Fuel100 ethanol natively has up to 5% water for optimal
formulation. E-Fuel100 ethanol freely mixes with gasoline without any
separation of water from the ethanol and may be used with any combination of
gasoline if needed.
Fermentation and Distillation
Ethanol is produced by microbial fermentation of sugar. In
fact, all biomass must first be converted to sugar before fermentation into
alcohol may occur. Intuitively, the more sugar in the organic fuel processed by
the MicroFueler, the sooner ethanol is produced since the steps and time to
convert the material to sugar is significantly reduced.
Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, is emitted during
fermentation and combustion. However, this is largely canceled out by the
greater uptake of carbon dioxide by the plants as they grow to produce the
biomass processed into ethanol. Once fermentation is complete, the mixture is
ready for distillation by the MicroFueler. The alcohol is separated from the
remaining liquid and stored in the E-Fuel100 ethanol storage tank ready for
Fuel economy
Groundbreaking Study Finds that Certain Ethanol Blends can
Provide Better Fuel Economy than Gasoline.
"Optimal Blend" Is Likely E20 or E30;
Coalition Calls for Further Government Research
Sioux Falls, SD (December 5, 2007)--Research findings
released today show that mid-range ethanol blends--fuel mixtures with more
ethanol than E10 but less than E85--can in some cases provide better fuel
economy than regular unleaded gasoline, even in standard, non-flex vehicles.
Previous assumptions held that ethanol's lower energy
content directly correlates with lower fuel economy for drivers. Those
assumptions were found to be incorrect. Instead, the new research strongly
suggests that there is an "optimal blend level" of ethanol and
gasoline--most likely E20 or E30--at which cars will get better mileage than
predicted based strictly on the fuel's per-gallon Btu content. The new study,
cosponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and the American Coalition for
Ethanol (ACE), also found that mid-range ethanol blends reduce harmful tailpipe
Initial findings indicate that we as a nation haven't
begun to recognize the value of ethanol, "said Brian Jennings, executive
vice president of the American Coalition for Ethanol." This is a
compelling argument for more research on the promise of higher ethanol blends
in gasoline. There is strong evidence that the optimal ethanol-gasoline blend
for standard, non-flex-fuel vehicles is greater than E10 and instead may be E20
or E30. We encourage the federal government to move swiftly to research the use
of higher ethanol blends and make necessary approvals so that American
motorists can have the cost-effective ethanol choices they deserve at the pump.
The University of North Dakota Energy Environmental
Research Center (EERC) and the Minnesota Center for Automotive Research (MnCAR)
conducted the research using four 2007 model vehicles: a Toyota Camry, a Ford
Fusion, and two Chevrolet Impalas, one flex-fuel and one non-flex-fuel.
Researchers used the EPA Highway Fuel Economy Test (HWFET) to examine a range
of ethanol-gasoline blends from straight Tier 2 gasoline up to 85 percent
ethanol. All of the vehicles got better mileage with ethanol blends than the ethanol's
energy content would predict, and three out of four actually traveled farther
on a mid-level gasoline blend than on unleaded gasoline.
In addition to the favorable fuel economy findings, the
research provides strong evidence that standard, non-flex-fuel vehicles can operate on ethanol blends beyond 10 percent. The three non-flex-fuel vehicles tested
operated on levels as high as E65 before any engine fault codes were displayed.
Emissions results for the ethanol blends were also favorable for nitrogen
oxides, carbon monoxide and non-methane organic gases, showing an especially
significant reduction in CO2 emissions for each vehicle's "optimal"
ethanol blend.

Remember Me
Danjaboots :: 05.11 :: RANA :: 05.12 :: The Knitting Factory :: New York, NY
In March, when LA-based Particle announced their new line-up, Metzger was on board. RANA followers were not pleased, and although some of his songs have been incorporated into the Particle line-up, they might be deemed a little too serious for is trance party-band fans.
As Particle's spring tour drew to a close, a little free time opened up for Metzger. In the two weeks between Jazz Fest and the Knitball in LA, Metzger began the first of many coast-hopping, hometown performances, kicking it off with old buddy Joe Russo of the Benevento/Russo Duo and their light-hearted band, Danjaboots.
Russo and Metzger are in a similar position. After years of working side jobs and making the musical rounds, their talents have finally been recognized. With Danjaboots, the pair have funneled their almost 20 years of road experience and study of human nature into compelling music.
"These are songs about drinking, fighting, and fucking," announced Metzger in worn jeans and a t-shirt, holding his acoustic guitar and launching into a song about "The redneck girl of my dreams." Russo's kit was set back in the corner, and the grin on his face lit up the stage as he pounded out the country-rock rhythms.
The show was a sweet mix of familiar covers and highly personal, catchy, intelligent originals. Fans were well versed on new material such as "Gonna Burn For This." The fourth song was "A Little More Food, A Little Less Cocaine," his latest. Talking about the kind of girl we all know, "She'll hang out till everything's been talked about, and half of it's been talked about twice. I swear when she's sober, she's a sweetheart, but when the blow runs out that woman ain't so nice."
Saturday night was a different vibe back at the Knit with an older crowd. It was the first RANA show since the end of 2005, and fans were out in full-force. Formed over a decade ago by four friends from Jersey, RANA survived high school and college with the bandmates spread out at four different universities.
They began the evening with "Replacements" and by the third song, "Stuck up a Tree," the band hit their groove. Durant played to the audience, laughing and joking with fans. Metzger stood center stage for most of the evening, Southern's leading bass lines filled the whole room and Thornton pounded away happily on the drums.
Towards the end of the show, Metzger commented, "Our friends are in New York City. What we need you to do is motivate for once in your lives and follow us around." This statement was met by a cacophony of joy and a definite feeling that if they had the dates, they would have the fan-based caravan.
Metzger has been popping up all over the country, playing hours and days of instrumental experimentation, meeting his idols, and exchanging riffs. His rock sound, which is rooted in RANA's matter-of-fact, take-no-prisoners approach, could be the missing ingredient necessary to take Particle's experimental dance groove to the next level. One thing's for sure - Metzger's music is all about love, conflict, and straight rock & roll.

Hourglass tree frogs are short lived, usually lasting less than 3 years.
Females select a mate from the males' calls and travel some distance to a secure place, where they usually lay the eggs above water. However, if the eggs are laid too high, they may fall pray to ants or dry out, and if they are placed too close to the surface, they may end up submerged, falling pray to fish and other cannibalistic tadpoles.

DALLAS (AP) - The U.S. Department of Labor today says an
Arkansas-based trucking company has agreed to pay $300,000 to
nearly 800 minority and female applicants as part of a hiring
discrimination settlement.
ABF Freight System, Inc., also agreed to hire 24 of the
previously rejected applicants -- who had applied for a checker
casual position.
Checker casuals are dock workers called in when there is work to
be done, as opposed to part-time workers who have regular
The agreement settles the Labor Department's allegations that
the trucking company discriminated against blacks and Hispanics who
applied for checker casual positions from 2004 through 2006. It
also settles alleged discrimination against female applicants from
2004 through 2007.
The Labor Department says the company also agreed to
self-monitoring measures ensuring its hiring practices comply with
the law.

Theresa Alban has faced a daunting list of challenges since taking the job as superintendent of Frederick County Public Schools in July 2011.
Last year alone, while still getting used to Frederick County and to the role of a school system leader, she handled her first tight budget, dealt with a work-to-rule teacher protest and endured an appeal that questioned her decision on the use of the controversial �Social Studies Alive!� textbook.
On top of that, Alban reorganized her central office administration, weighed in on two proposed charter schools and helped her staff prepare for the most significant changes in education in the last 30 years — the adoption of the nationwide Common Core State Standards.
In her 18 months as superintendent, Alban, a veteran educator who worked in Howard County before coming to Frederick, has been under pressure to make tough decisions quickly and efficiently.
And in a few cases, parents have felt she could have done more to keep them involved in the decision-making process.
But as Alban moves toward the second year of her four-year contract, many community members, including those who have questioned her decisions, have praised her hard work, approachable nature and ability to remain focused and create positive relationships in a difficult political and financial climate.
�She is doing a good job,� said Blaine R. Young (R), the president of the Frederick County Board of Commissioners.
A fiscal conservative who has often criticized school spending, Young has praised Alban�s responsible budget decisions and initiatives.
Although the Frederick County Board of Education has not always upheld her recommendations, Alban has made an effort to ensure that the school system runs efficiently and spends responsibly, Young said.
In her recommended budget last year, Alban suggested giving raises to teachers but also proposed a range of smart cuts, including increasing class size by an average of one student, Young said.
Looking for more efficient use of school space and a way to ease overcrowding in Urbana, Alban also recommended moving the magnet program at Urbana Elementary to the new Lincoln Elementary in Frederick, he said.
More recently, Alban has also been looking at outsourcing some custodial duties as a way to make school system�s maintenance of grounds more efficient, Young said.
�The superintendent does realize that there is so much money that can be spent,� Young said. �She is more in tune with what the state of affairs really is. She is a fiscal realist.�
School board members have also praised Alban�s work.
Although she has sometimes questioned the decisions of Alban and her staff, school board member April Miller also commended the superintendent for what she has done.
�She has a more hands-on management style,� Miller said. �She has been reaching out to the schools, and she has been reaching out to the students.�
Some parental complaints
But Alban�s no-nonsense approach has also earned her some criticism.
�I think she has done some things to lessen our voice,� said Cindy Rose, a Knoxville resident and a frequent school system critic.
Rose was one of the parents who last year raised concerns about �Social Studies Alive!,� a controversial third-grade textbook that parents said promotes a liberal ideology. The school system assembled a taskforce to study the book, which recommended it be replaced as soon as possible.
But Alban decided to keep the book until 2014-15, arguing that the school system had no immediate funds for the change, and educators should wait until the state issues its new requirements for social studies.
Despite the appeal from parents, the seven-member school board upheld Alban�s recommendation.
�There hasn�t been a lot of consideration of what parents want .... They are not treated as partners,� Rose said. �I don�t think that is new, and I don�t think Dr. Alban is doing it. But she needs to be a leader in that, and I don�t think she has gotten there yet.�
More recently, a new proposal to change middle school schedules by moving from 90-minute to 47-minute class periods has raised similar concerns among parents.
Although principals and administrators had been working for months on the proposal, Alban and her staff made no focused effort to solicit community input until they presented it to the school board on Nov. 28. The board was scheduled to make a decision on the proposal Wednesday, after The Gazette�s deadline.
School officials have asked parents to offer their feedback, but parents did not get a chance to weigh in on the proposal at a public hearing.
�They left out important stakeholders,� said Janice Spiegel, a former president of the Frederick County PTA Council and one of the parents upset with the way the issue was handled. �We should not be making these major policy decisions in December when parents are disengaged.�
Alban defended the process, although she has also spoken with parents who had concerns and is taking steps to avoid such issues in the future.
When they put together the proposal, county school administrators were looking for a long-awaited solution to middle-school issues and also seeking to prepare county students for the state�s new standardized tests, which will replace the existing Maryland School Assessments in the 2014-15 school year, Alban has said.
Maryland schools will try the new Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers assessments in 2013-14, but schools will not be held accountable for student progress for the first year, which is why Alban has urged the board to sign off on the change this year.
�If people say to us, �Please, don�t change it,� that will not be in the best interest of our students,� Alban told the board in November when presenting the proposal. �To falter now means we are losing a very critical year. We took the time, we did this thoughtfully, and we did it well.�
But after she realized parents had concerns, Alban directed her staff to open all lines of communication for feedback.
�Before winter break, we had 109 responses, and the overwhelming majority were in favor of the proposed schedule,� Alban said in an email to The Gazette on Friday.
Alban said she has spoken to many of the parents who were worried.
�They believed we are just going to �tweak� the schedule ...� Alban wrote in her email. �I will be meeting with the PTA Council Board of Directors in January, and we can certainly look at ways to improve the process for the future.�
Spiegel appreciates that response.
�I think she understood where we were coming from,� she said.
�Terry has been very responsive to the public,� Spiegel said. �... She is very down to Earth and very approachable. I don�t always agree with her decisions, but I think she is good for Frederick County.�
Strong background
A veteran educator with 30 years of teaching and administrative experience, Alban came to Frederick County at age 52 after working in Baltimore, Montgomery and Howard counties — some of the largest school systems in Maryland.
When she was hired, Alban was the chief officer for operations and one of the top four officials for Howard County schools, a job that put her in charge of transportation, technology, construction and facilities, as well as student assessment and testing. She had started that job in 2008, and was the first woman ever selected for the position.
In Frederick County, Alban replaced former Superintendent Linda Burgee, who retired after wrapping up a 35-year career as educator with the school system, including seven years as superintendent.
Although Alban, who now lives in Frederick, had not served as a superintendent before, school board members were drawn to her solid background in all aspects of school system operations and her track record for accountability and collaborative work, which fit the community demand for a strong leader.
The board was also looking for a leader ready to work with facts and who was not afraid to crunch numbers and tackle tight budgets, school board member Jean Smith said.
�She had the experience with maintenance, facilties, transportation ....� Smith said. �She is a numbers person.�
Being in charge of 66 schools, more than 5,500 employees, more than 40,000 students and a budget of $523 million is never easy, but Alban took the job at a particularly challenging time.
By 2011, the school system had been operating on tight budgets for a few years, and there was discontent brewing among teachers who had already gone without salary increases since 2009. Recession funding for education was tight, leading to an increased tension between the commissioners and school board.
As the highest paid job in the school system, Burgee�s salary and her contract had also been under increased scrutiny from the community, which is why the school board decided to structure Alban�s compensation differently, school board member Brad Young said.
As a superintendent, Burgee made a base salary of $201,811 plus a $40,000 tax-sheltered annuity plan and was eligible for a $8,000 bonus based on her performance each year.
However, Alban makes $185,000 annually and gets $20,000 as a tax-sheltered annuity plan. And unlike Burgee, Alban cannot cash out unused sick days, does not get a bonus and receives the same salary increase as any other school system employee, Young said.
Although she had the disadvantage of having to learn the workings of an entire new system, Alban has done �outstanding� work, Young said.
From reorganizing the central office, to taking on the painful issue of improving middle schools, Alban has overseen all of the school board�s major changes while remaining approachable and visible in the community, he said.
�I am very satisfied with the job she is doing,� Young said. �The hardest part for every superintendent is getting to know the community and the politics.�
New challenges
However, unlike most of her predecessors, Alban has had to deal with a major challenge that has tested educators across the nation — the sweeping curriculum changes resulting from the new Common Core Curriculum.
The Common Core is an initiative among the states aimed at ensuring that students nationwide are being prepared to meet the same expectations in all subjects.
Maryland adopted the standards in 2010, and county educators had to develop a brand new curriculum matching those expectations.
While the county now is in the second year of implementing that curriculum, educators now are also preparing for new state tests — the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers or PARCC — which are aligned with the Common Core and will replace the existing Maryland School Assessments in 2014-15.
In addition, the county is preparing to launch a new teacher-evaluation system, which for a first time will require teachers to be graded based partially on their students� performance.
Alban has been at the forefront of those efforts as she guided her staff in laying the foundation for the changes.
And even her critics have recognized the pressure that such transition has added to Alban�s regular duties.
�I do believe she�s got a lot on her plate, especially for someone who has not been a superintendent before,� Rose said.
Overall, the superintendent has been doing the best she can, given the current economic climate, the school system�s available resources and the slew of unfunded state and federal mandates that have bombarded the school system in recent years, Rose said.
But Alban said her most challenging time as superintendent was during last year�s budget session, when the school board�s decision not to ask commissioners for extra funding ignited teachers� discontent.
Demanding better pay, county teachers rejected the school board�s contract and started a work-to-rule protest, working only the hours for which they were being paid.
During the negotiation process, Alban had to use all her skills as a mediator to help resolve the conflict and find the best solution for students.
�As superintendent, one of my most important jobs is to build consensus among people who frequently have very different points of view...� Alban said in an email. �Sometimes we will have to agree to disagree, but if we do what is right for our students then we stay true to our vision and mission.�
Gary Brennan, the president of the Frederick County Teachers Association, said he appreciated Alban�s input.
�It was a situation that she walked into,� Brennan said. �I know she was not thrilled when we rejected the school board�s original offer, but she remained professional throughout the entire process.�
And after the conflict, Alban has always been open to hearing the needs of teachers, he said.
�She is extremely bright, and I have never gotten the feeling that she sees the association as an obstacle,� he said.
Maintaining success
Looking back at her time as superintendent, Alban takes pride in tackling all the issues that the school board put before her, including enhancing the public perception of the school system, supporting student achievement and improving middle schools.
Under Alban�s leadership, the school system has focused on improving programs for advanced learners. This year, it started a program for highly able learners in the sixth grade, allowing teachers to challenge not only their top achievers but all of their students, Alban said in an email.
�This was a first big step in addressing the concerns about middle school,� Alban wrote.
As she approaches her second budget season, Alban will continue to look within the system for new ways to save.
Later this year, she also plans to start a community dialogue about what the school system will need to continue its high achievement.
Frederick County Public Schools have achieved the highest school performance index of all Maryland counties, according to the latest state data.
A part of Maryland�s new accountability system, the school performance index, is calculated from data on a school system�s test results, the reduction of gaps between its highest and lowest performing student groups, college readiness and improvement in test scores from one year to the next.
Alban takes pride in that high achievement and has vowed to find ways to maintain it in the future.
�Maintaining that level of excellence in the face of incredible mandated change will be difficult,� she said in the email. �It will take the whole community working with us and advocating for public education.�

It's amazing to learn there are still parents in this country who refuse to have their children vaccinated against a number of communicable diseases. Given what we know from proven medical science, it's hard to understand why parents would want to place their school-age children at such a risk.
States currently allow medical exemptions to vaccinations, and many have traditionally granted exemptions to parents based on religious beliefs. Many of today's opponents to immunizations, however, are parents who subscribe to an unproved personal belief that vaccines may be linked to autism and other disorders.
Twenty states now allow some kind of personal exemption to vaccinations. This worries public health officials, who point to epidemics like that of an outbreak of measles in California a few years ago as what can happen when children are not properly immunized.
We know that vaccines have saved many lives. Epidemiologists and other medical experts warn personal belief exemptions represent bad public policy with no basis in science. We agree. Children who are not vaccinated are vulnerable to serious illnesses, as well as being a danger to other children.
We urge parents to ignore the misinformation being spread on the Internet, and make sure their children are up-to-date on their vaccinations. It's the responsible thing to do.

Chelmsford 27 Beccles 24
London NE Division 2
Chelmsford came up against a plucky Beccles team who are fighting for their lives to remain in the league and avoid relegation. For long periods the Beccles forward were on top of Chelmsford although the Chelmsford team always looked more likely to score outside in the backs.
Under bright blustery conditions, Chelmsford were quickly on the attack following good interplay between Sasu Wihapi and Hankin, allowing Hankin to eventually speed through the Beccles defence for a converted try.
Beccles came straight back at Chelmsford and following some indifferent defence, Beccles caught at the lineout and drove on to score in the corner reducing the deficit 7-5.
Chelmsford young winger, Tatenda Gurure was next on the score sheet, running in from 25 metres to score his first try at senior level.
This was followed by a fine try by Hankin who caught the ball on the burst following a lineout and was through the Beccles defence before they could react. At 21-5 it looked as if Chelmsford would run away with the game. Beccles, to their credit, drove forward and following some sustained pressure broke through to score a good forward try, to make the half time score 21-12.
The second half began with Chelmsford on the attack playing up the slope, but a lack of understanding in the backs allowed the ball to fall into the hands of the Beccles centre, who had a clear 50 metre run in to score a converted try. With twenty minutes to go and with the score 21-19, Chelmsford looked in danger of losing. It was now that the Chelmsford forwards stepped up and took on the opposition. They got into positions whereby when penalties were awarded the reliable boot of Sasu Wihapi came into play, hitting two penalties to go along with his three conversions in the first half.
Beccles never dropped their heads and scored a good try in the final move of the game to make the final score 27-24.
Ed Gooby, the Chelmsford coach, was full of praise for the Beccles team. 'It was a very hard game and although it was a slim victory it puts us in the right frame for the next game away at Enfield next week playing against promotion candidates'.

Have you ever thought about what you would look like with long hair? Growing your hair out is not as easy as you might think. It does take a lot of time. Don't worry though, this guide below will help you guys out and will probably answer many questions you have.
Knowledge is power. When it comes to growing out your long hair, there are certain things to do, and certain things to avoid. Visit the Blog for tons of great information on getting gorgeous long locks. Get great tips on how to improve your hair's. Keep in mind though, not everyone looks their best with long hair. But hey, you only live once so you might as well give it a shot!
Before you make your decision on whether or not you want to grow out your hair, you should understand that it takes a lot of patience. Most guys who decide they want long hair start growing from a relatively short style. You need to realize that hair grows at about one inch every two months. That equates to about six inches every year.
For some reason people believe that trimming your hair speeds up hair growth. WRONG. Cutting you hair makes it shorter, plain and simple. The only way to have long hair is to stop cutting it. Trimming it up will only prolong the awkward stages.
On the other hand you should visit your barber or stylist about every six to eight weeks. Let them know that you are growing out your hair. Doing this will keep your hair looking neat and healthy, but it will also take longer for you to get your final result.
Having good hair hygiene is extremely important. Everyone is different, so it's important to identify your hair type (STEP 4). It's important to wash your hair along with conditioning it. It's okay to go without washing it every once in a while, as long as it doesn't look real dirty or smell funky. Don't over wash it though, remember that the natural oils in your hair and on you scalp help strengthen it.
Wash your hair: The basic practice for a guy is to wet your hair entirely, shampoo all over, then thoroughly rinse the shampoo out (shampoo twice). Conditioner is a biggie, condition every time you wash your hair, but be careful; if you over-condition your hair, it can lead to really greasy hair and scalp. Let it air dry. Avoid drying it out with a towel, this can cause serious damage and split ends. It's best to dab your hair with a towel then letting it air dry. Using heated appliances such as blow dryers can be very harmful if used incorrectly. Blow dryers can also dry out your hair making it more prone to damage and can sometimes result in split ends.
Knowing what type of hair you have is crucial for growing out your long hair. There are 4 different types of hair; curly, straight, wavy, and frizzy. Identifying what kind of hair you have is important to knowing how to care for it during the growing process. Finding hair products that fit your hair type can have a huge effect on establishing a particular style.
What kind of style are you going for? How long do you want your hair? It's important to develop a goal while you are growing out your hair. When coming in for occasional trims at your salon, be sure to mention your ultimate goal to your stylist. Yeah it's going to take a while, and until you get to your goal you might get discouraged. Just stay positive and stick to your goal, you will get there eventually!
If you're just starting to growing your hair out, and you're not sure; feel free take a look at some awesome hairstyles in the photo gallery.
Observe your hair as it grows and lengthens. Straight hair is easiest to care for, but curly wavy & frizzy hair can be troublesome. If you're growing out hair of this type, make sure you brush it as best you can, to avoid unruly tangles. This can be a lot more uncomfortable than you can imagine if you've never had an obstinate knot in your hair before.
Again if you have straight hair, you're considered very lucky. You don't have to brush as much. Also note that sometimes it's best to just run your fingers through your hair. This technique is a lot safer especially if you're worried about accidentally pulling out too much hair.
How can you overcome the "awkward stage"? As your hair grows you will experience many different stages where it's kind of in between long or short and you just won't know how to style it. Along with the "awkward stage" another problem might come into play. The longer your hair gets, the more likely it's bound to get in the way of your eyes.
Some good ways to cover up your hair in between stages or to keep it out of your eyes are; beanies, bandanas, hats, headbands, and hairbands. When your hair gets long enough, you can then simply just put it in a ponytail. Just be sure to avoid using rubber bands, because they will most likely damage your hair (stresses hair by pulling, which commonly results in breakage) .
Understand that hair takes a lot of time to grow, and until it gets really long (shoulder length) it will probably look bad. Realize that you will most likely go through "awkward stages" and will feel discouraged. You'll probably even feel like shaving your head some days. Deal with it, you're a man remember? The main thing to keep in mind is your goal (STEP 5), and just how awesome it'll look when you're all done growing it.
Growing your hair can take time. Hair grows about half an inch per month and there's really not too much you can do to speed up the process. Inevitably, you'll also go through that phase where your hair is too short to do anything with. Consider getting hair products to give yourself styling options and ultimately get you through that dreaded awkward stage.
Be sure to visit the Blog for more great information!

Nate the Robot
Nate the Robot is a webcomic about an ordinary robot trying to make it in a human world.
Nate Moss (NMOS for short) is just an ordinary robot trying to make it in life.
The story starts with Nate having a job as a programmer, but is laid off because
his job is outsourced. As the story unfolds, Nate will proceed along a humorous
journey of self discovery, constantly stumbling because of the illogical way that
real people act around him. Nate was designed and assembled by an average
guy by the name of Bob Moss, and has a brother named Pete. For the true nerd,
Nate's name is a play on words. NMOS is a type of transitor that has the
following disadvantages (just like Nate):
|Harvey is Nate's friend and former coworker. Harvey understands Nate better than any of his other friends. Harvey is an accomplished programmer, and kept his job when Nate was laid off. While he's a good guy, Harvey is not very exciting.
|Joe is the bartender at the local bar "Gears", where everybody always wants to know your url... Joe always keeps a couple of quarts of Nate's favorite motor oil handy. Gears is not your normal bar, and more of a hang out for misfits.
|Clint is a frequent visitor at the local bar "Gears", always providing useless information. He's a postal worker, and shares some striking resemblance to another famous postal worker hanging out in a bar.
Chana Moss (CMOS for short) is Nate's robot wife, a beautiful piece of machinery
that always knows what is right (and makes sure everyone knows too). Chana is
a second generation robot, the daughter of FerdiNAND and EliNORA Logic, two older
style robots from before legged technology. For the true nerd, Chana's name is
also a play on words. CMOS is a type of transistor that has the following
|FerdiNAND Logic is Chana's father, an older styled wheeled robot that wants nothing more than his daughter to be treated right. FerdiNAND is old school, and behaves very much as someone brought up in a different generation. As are almost all the names, FerdiNAND is also a play on words. NAND is a type of logic gate, and has the property of functional completeness. That is to say that any other logic function can be implemented solely using NAND gates.
|Bob Moss is Nate's "dad" (aka, creator). Bob is just an average guy that managed to put together some parts in an extraordinary way. We'll learn more about Bob as the story unfolds.
