New deals for Coulson and Jennings
Posted: January 25, 2012|
Josh Coulson and James Jennings have extended their Cambridge United contracts.
The defensive duo yesterday signed new deals to remain at the R Costings Abbey until 2014, and both spoke of their ambition to help United back into the Football League.
Coulson, 22, who came through the youth-team ranks, said: "I'm really pleased to have signed a new contract and to be here for another two years, and I'm looking forward to playing a part in the team to hopefully get us out of the Conference.
"The fans are brilliant and have been really supportive of me and the team this season.
"Their support really does make a difference and I'm delighted to still be able to play for them."
Left-back Jennings, who joined from Kettering Town in 2010, said: "I've enjoyed working with Jez (George, manager) and Nolan (Keeley, assistant). I believe they can continue to help me improve and I share their great ambition for the club.
"It is definitely moving in the right direction and if we continue to work hard on the training ground, I am sure that in the future we can get the club back to where it deserves to be, in the Football League."
United boss George added: "It is really important that we not only develop our own young players but we also ensure that we protect our assets.
"Josh will play an important part in moving this club forward and I still believe that he has the potential to improve and play at a higher level. We all hope that in the future that will be with Cambridge United.
"I would not swap James for any other left-back in this league, and we look forward to building a squad that can match his ambitions."

Condition: very good to fine. This poster was linenbacked, and it had very minor defects, and was well backed. Read below for a description of those defects, and about the quality of the restoration (if I found anything worth commenting on!). You should also look at our "super-sized" image of the actual poster (we are the only major auction company we know of that gives accurate detailed pre-restoration information about linenbacked posters to our bidders, but we wish everyone did!).
the poster had tiny paper loss at each crossfold and some small tears down the vertical foldline; there were pinholes in the corners and small paper loss at the ends of the horizontal foldlines. The poster was extremely well linenbacked, and the above basically minor defects were very nicely corrected, and this rare and wonderful poster looks fantastic!

Governor O'Malley Announces BPW Approval Of Land Acquisition Project In Anne Arundel County
Annapolis, MD (April 21, 2010) — Governor Martin O'Malley today
announced Board of Public Works (BPW) approval of $695,750 to acquire 46 acres
in Anne Arundel County through local Program Open
"Not only does this acquisition protect wooded areas that are vital to water quality, but it is also another great outlet for Marylanders to enjoy their natural world through hiking and other outdoors activities," said Governor O'Malley.
The acquisition will be part of the South River Greenway; Anne Arundel County has already acquired 304 acres for the Greenway and seeks to acquire additional parcels that will ultimately result in protection of nearly 1,120 acres.
The Greenway provides an extensive trail system for getting families outdoors to enjoy nature through hiking, wildlife observation, and outdoor recreation programs provided by the Anne Arundel County Department of Recreation and Parks and the South River Federation. This acquisition has extensive environmental benefits because it protects wooded areas along streams to help filter polluted runoff and absorb carbon in addition to helping to protect a federally identified migratory bird area.
"I applaud the Board of Public Works authorization of grant funds to acquire the 46-acre Page property within the Bacon Ridge Natural Area of the South River Greenway," said Anne Arundel County Executive John Leopold. "The County's partnership with the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and local preservationists continues to expand the protection of wooded buffers along Bacon Ridge Branch, as we strive to improve the water quality of the South River and the Chesapeake Bay."
Since 2007, Governor O'Malley and the BPW preserved more than 23,934 acres of natural areas for public recreation as well as watershed and wildlife protection across Maryland. Since 1969, Program Open Space has provided funding for acquisition of 344,977 acres for open space and recreation areas. Most Maryland residents live within 15 minutes of an open space or recreational area funded by Program Open Space.
The three-member Board of Public Works is composed of Governor O'Malley (chair), Treasurer Nancy Kopp and Comptroller Peter Franchot. The BPW is authorized by the General Assembly to approve major construction and consultant contracts, equipment purchases, property transactions and other procurement actions.

The Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR), which celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2009, is the state agency responsible for providing natural and living resource-related services to citizens and visitors. DNR manages more than 467,000 acres of public lands and 17,000 miles of waterways, along with Maryland's forests, fisheries, and wildlife for maximum environmental, economic and quality of life benefits. A national leader in land conservation, DNR-managed parks and natural, historic, and cultural resources attract 12 million visitors annually. DNR is the lead agency in Maryland's effort to restore the Chesapeake Bay, the state's number one environmental priority. Learn more at www.dnr.maryland.gov

When I first created this site I was unemployed/freelance/undecided as to what I was doing. I did various things to pay the bills. It served a purpose; it meant people could find out more about me, I could blog about interesting legal stuff, other stuff, and promote some of my little businesses.
On 1st April I became a Partner of Josiah Hincks Solicitors in Leicester. This changes everything and nothing.
With immediate effect, this site will not have any non legal articles. Nothing promoting anything but my new firm.
I intend to refocus this site on blogging about employment law, mediation and dispute resolution, and perhaps legal tech/marketing for law firms, which I'm interested in.
I think it's incredibly important for lawyers to have their own brand as well as the brand of your firm. I am Josiah Hincks now, no doubt about that, and everything I do will be to benefit that business and ultimately me. But everyone googles everyone and so I think it's important that my website properly and professionally represents me.

Replacement mic capsule for hand-held wireless transmitters using the PR 22 element.
The Heil Sound RC 22 contains the dynamic element of the PR 22, producing much better articulation with high rejection from the sides and rear.
Heil replacement capsules are interchangeable with any of the screw-on type hand-held transmitters that receive a 31.3mm/pitch 1.0mm. Some hand-held transmitters have a .035 inch hexagonal-head set screw to secure the microphone capsule. If your transmitter has that, loosen the setscrew in the handle of the mic transmitter before attempting to unscrew the original capsule.
Holding the bottom of the transmitter simply unscrew the original capsule turning it counterclockwise. Carefully remove. The three conductor contact board disconnects the contacts. Avoid touching or damaging the gold plated contacts on the transmitter or the contact board. Screw your new Heil RC Capsule onto the transmitter handle and tighten.

Elections answer more questions than just who gets to slap their name on all sorts of government projects and ride in the plane.
For instance, just from today's iteration of the blessedly winnowing news cycle between now and polls closing, will Mitt Romney's 11th-hour announcement that he'll hit the Cleveland and Pittsburgh markets pay off? How many votes is New Jersey native Bruce Springsteen worth in Wisconsin? And will reports of Republican state officials playing fast and loose with polling places cause enough outrage that folks who otherwise wouldn't vote might actually do so?
More broadly, one of the two parties is set to spiral off into the presidential wilderness. A Romney loss would, according to party insiders, wrench the GOP apart as it attempts to reconcile its more conservative and pragmatic wings. If President Obama proves to be more Jimmy Carter than Bill Clinton, Democrats will reel as the transcendent figure to whom many pinned their hopes in 2008 folds his tent as one who tried but couldn't go all the way.
And, no matter who wins, a lot of pollsters are going to be spending a lot of time explaining flawed analyses. Much of the country is about to learn why they have been suffering from confirmation bias.
Particularly in a campaign whose result the day before the election defies confident forecasting, the anxiety for answers runs high. In short, the campaign chatter is about to move from predictive analysis to post-mortem very quickly.
-- Jim O'Sullivan
Campaigns Brace for Battle After Tuesday
[Washington Post, 11/5/12] Even as the candidates dart around the country in the closing hours, both campaigns are preparing for what could prove a complicated battle after Election Day.
Romney to Campaign in Pa., Ohio, on Election Day
[Boston Globe, 11/5/12] Romney's added stops in Pittsburgh and Cleveland on Tuesday before his election night rally in Boston. Obama's final campaign stop will come in Des Moines Monday night, and he will hold his election night rally in Chicago.
The Looming GOP Civil War
[Politico, 11/5/12] Whether or not Romney wins, the Republican Party is due for a reckoning, Jonathan Martin writes. Meanwhile, Alexander Burns and Maggie Haberman have gamed out both scenarios: if Romney loses, and if Obama loses.
All Eyes on Ohio on Election Eve
[Los Angeles Times, 11/5/12] Once again, the focus turns to the Buckeye State, which could prove determinative on Tuesday.
Both Campaigns Rely on Ground Game
[Columbus Dispatch, 11/5/12] Millions of Ohioans have reached a breaking point, the Dispatch reports. But that doesn't mean the campaigns aren't still going full tilt.
Watchdog: 'Beginning to Look Like a Messy Election'
[Philadelphia Inquirer, 11/5/12] In Philadelphia, reports of election-tampering are already starting to pour in, with voters being told falsely that party-line ballots would be invalidated and that their polling places have moved. The city will have a team of lawyers and detectives on call Tuesday to try to ensure a clean election.
Obama, Ryan Stump in Wis. On Eve of Election
[AP, 11/5/12] President Obama campaigned with Bruce Springsteen in Madison today, drawing a crowd of 18,000. Retiring Sen. Herb Kohl and Democratic Rep. Tammy Baldwin, who is running to replace him, also spoke at the rally.
Romney a Challenger at the Crossroads

Romney Aims for Turnout, Converts in Four Tough States

The 3 Myths of the Romney Campaign
[The Atlantic, 11/5/12] Political scientist Samuel Popkin, assuming that Obama will win tomorrow night and avoid a drawn-out recount, delivers a pre-mortem on the campaign in an interview with James Fallows. He debunks three myths of the campaign: that Hurricane Sandy sunk Romney's chances, that the first debate was a game-changer, and that Obama won because Romney's bad at being a candidate.
Team Obama Preening, Romney Camp Eye-Rolling, Frayed Nerves For Both
[National Journal, 11/4/12] Major Garrett goes through task of measuring the Obama-Romney partisan universe, looking into how each campaign views the endgame in the final days.

We had an amazing stay at the Blackbird inn. The inn is very quaint and the room we stayed in was awesome and everything you think of when you stay at a bed n breakfast. They provided all the amenities of a traditional hotel but had a very unique and charming feel to place. The rooms were clean as well as the inn. They offered a wine and cheese spread nightly and a satisfying breakfast buffet in the morning with coffee and tea available throughout the day, and cookies too! There was only one person working there and after 7, its just the guests but they did leave us their contact info should we have needed anything. That actually turned out to be quite nice since it felt like we were the only ones staying there. The only thing that I didn't realize when booking the place is that its right on the corner of the main street and next to some businesses. For some reason, I thought it was in a quiet neighborhood away from any noise. Not necessarily a bad thing though since it was so close to downtown Napa. We will definitely be back again some day in the near future!
4,4 sur mai 24, 2015
We stayed one night but it was a very worthwhile experience. The location is a nice short walk away from downtown. There is coffee and cocoa available anytime during the day (we had a midnight snack with cookies ) . Would certainly come back!

Breakfast was amazing every morning. We stayed in the room right next to the front desk where they warn you is busy but we never heard a sound. Great beds. Very comfortable

We use AirBnB often because we prefer the feeling at being at home over the sterility of hotels. However, sometimes renting someone's home isn't quite as clean and service oriented as hotel life. This inn is the perfect intersection of cozy and professional. It's definitely on the list for a return visit!

We had a very pleasant stay! Friendly staff, great breakfast, and a very short walk to downtown. You can't beat the price for the overall value you get here.

We stayed in the Deluxe King w/ Fireplace and it was great. The lobby desk is against the wall to our room, but it never felt weird. The noise level was great and quiet. They had wine hour and the soft music and lights set a great atmosphere. Customer service was great and the walk into town was so short. We loved being that close to everything!!

Room: Our room (#8) was clean and inviting; however it lacked windows and felt dark. The bathroom was a little dated and could use some work, specifically the tub and shower. Service: The front desk was extremely helpful and provided great recommendations for nearby food, wine and activities. Value: We took advantage of the weekday 2 nights-for-1, so the value was terrific. Cleanliness: No complaints. Dining: The breakfast was delicious as were the cookies in the jar that are available all day. They provided my wife with a special gluten-free dish due to her allergies, which was very thoughtful.

We had an excellent stay at the Blackbird Inn. We stayed there a couple of years ago to celebrate our anniversary, and we did the same this year. For our surprise, when we arrived, we learned that we had an upgrade. The room which was offered to us was a very nice one with private entrance, very comfortable and beautifully decorated. The breakfast was really good and quite healthy.

Great place to stay, found it odd that there is not enough seating places for the number of guests at breakfast.. 7 rooms I think and 3 small tables- two seat two and one seats 4

We loved the location and woodwork throughout the Inn. Our stay was fantastic! The only mark against the Inn was breakfast. It was perfectly sufficient, but didn't have the gourmet feel that we've experienced at out B&Bs. Nonetheless, we would definitely recommend this as a great place to stay!

Very beautiful b and b. Got this for my wife for xmas. She was very happy with our one night stay. Staff was very helpful and made dinner reservations for us. Will return at a later date.

First, I feel bad for forgetting the lady's name (I think she is the owner) who checked us in-so friendly and accomodating! My boyfriend and I stayed in room 8-it was absolutely stunning! The inn itself is gorgeons and super clean..has an amazing/romantic atmosphere. Also their breakfast is so delicious-the hobo breakfast was outstanding! I would recommend this inn to any couple looking to have a special romantic time and my boyfriend and I will definitely be back!

Everything was just great, I seriously enjoyed the place. It was cozy, nice and really convenient. The staff was super friendly and even set up tasting and our room early due to our early arrival and dinner reservations. I would stay here again for sure.

The Blackbird Inn was truly amazing. Beautiful place, cozy and comfortable rooms and the staff was amazing. We would definitely stay here again.

My wife and I stayed at the blackbird inn for 3 nights. The service was great and the staff was very knowledgeable about the area and gave us valuable tips on places to visit. The rooms were nice and clean, although my wife did find a hair in the bathtub upon arrival. The only knock I would have about the inn was its location. It was walking distance to downtown Napa but it is on the corner of two fairly busy streets. There was not much noise in the rooms from traffic but it was not relaxing on the porch or the balcony. Other than that I would say our stay was very pleasant.

Felt very hesitant to stay at a B&B but this place was recommended by some friends so we gave it a try. From check in until check out, everyone made us feel very welcome and comfortable. The morning breakfast is exceptional, from quiche to French toast, each was delicious! If you have a chance to try the afternoon wine and cheese, it's a nice way to meet others staying while enjoying a glass of wine.

The Blackbird was an B&B. Jody and Matt were extremely helpful and friendly. The breakfasts were delicious. They even made sure to have food for our gluten free traveling companion. The wine and cheese parties each night were a lot of fun. Loved our room (Room 2) especially the private balcony outside where we enjoyed coffee each day and the stars each night!

We would highly recommend the B&B to our friends if traveling in the Napa area.

I was a little dissapointed with this place, it was recommended by a good friend and we got rooms there for a family reunion. The service is amazing, really friendly people, and is a very cute place, the rooms are spacious, but they need a little updates in their rooms. The remote control for the TV was missing and the air conditioner broke down in the middle of the night, didn't get a good sleep.

Homey feeling with an amazing breakfast!

two weeks post earthquake and the Blackbird Inn delivered. The accomodations were in perfect condition, the service was pleasant and wonderful and once again, the Blackbird inn met each of my needs. I am looking forward to my next stay in Napa at the Blackbird Inn.
4,6 sur septembre 15, 2014
We had a wonderful start to our long weekend in Napa/Sonoma with our stay at Blackbird Inn! We were lucky to get a room at the last minute (due to our original plans being affected by the earth quake) and we were so thrilled with the unexpected surprise. The property itself is pristine. Even with earthquake debris all around, this hotel was clean, comfortable and gorgeous. The common areas were just informal enough to be cozy but still professional and clean. Our room was lovely, clean, comfortable and HUGE! Perfect for unwinding after a long day in the vineyards. The food was amazing. We ended up purchasing the cook book with the hopes that it contained the fantasticly unique spicy pecan sandies (it did not) and the absolutely divine artichoke quiche (it did!). The variety of cookies, cheese, crackers and other delicious selections at "wine hour" definitely exceeded expectations! Every member of the staff we met were incredibly helpful and warm. They all provided great ideas for activities, recommendations for food and drinks, and even helped us decide where to go the next day! Our only reason for giving this property anything less than a perfect 5 was the cost. But, even that is to be expected I guess in downtown Napa!

Beautiful building. Comfortable rooms. Lovely breakfast and cookies.
4,4 sur septembre 02, 2014
My husband and I stayed here for one night and loved it! Finding a place to stay in Napa only 2 weeks in advance is NOT easy but I guess we got lucky. Also, most places require a 2 night minimum stay, and we're pretty local (SF) so we didn't need 2 nights and I was glad to find Blackbird Inn didn't require that. The service was great, the rooms are a little small but we had all the space we needed for the two of us. We especially loved the fireplace and the large patio. The TV was very tiny, but we were barely in the room so that was not an issue. We paid for the bottle of bubbly/chocolates package and it was nice to find that waiting on your bed. The package comes with breakfast in bed, which I LOVED because that means you don't have to get up early and get ready before all the food is gone! Breakfast was ok, it was not great. Since they offer breakfast buffet style, they bring you a little bit of everything. It was sad to see my muffin cut in half, especially since it was the best thing on the plate. They offer complimentary water and sodas in the lobby, and yes they are actually complimentary which is really neat. Also, they have complimentary chocolate chip cookies and they are delicious! We kept grabbing some every chance we got. They also have free wine/appetizers and we didn't get back in time BUT when we did get back, the woman at the front offered us some free wine (since we missed all the good stuff), asked us red or white, brought out a bottle just for us and a couple of glasses. How great is that?! We filled our glasses and left the bottle for others. Overall, it was great! It was nice to be so close to downtown, go have dinner, do some wine tasting in the tasting rooms, and not worry about driving back. I would definitely recommend Blackbird Inn, and we would absolutely stay here again.

Our plane was delayed and we missed our connecting flight; so we didn't get to the Inn in the afternoon as expected. We called and were given instructions for late check in. The Inn is lovely and our was room beautiful. We're devastated to hear that it was damaged in the earthquake a few days later. The stained glass front door and detailing around the Inn are exceptional. We had a nice breakfast, my husband didn't like the baked eggs in the casserole, but there was fruit and muesli and muffins etc. The location of the Inn is perfect, within walking distance of restaurants and shops. We only had the morning to enjoy the area. It was so sad to see the buildings we admired damaged on the news. We wish the Blackbird Inn a great recovery to it's wonderful self.

We came into napa much later than planned. They were very accommodating and left us the code and the key. They wrote out a list of local places that served late and the young man that checked us out the next morning had wonderful suggestions for us in San Francisco. The whole place was really beautiful. The bed was comfortable. Great experience overall. We would certainly stay again.
3,8 sur août 19, 2014
We liked the room and the private patio, the gal that checked us in was very nice. The breakfast on the other hand was not so good. The set up was not easy to maneuver a plate and dishing up your food. We have stayed at Lavender in Yountville a few times and every time it has been wonderful, from the room to the delicious breakfast. So to stay here and get overcooked poached eggs and undercooked red potatoes and scones was quite disappointing. Definitely a far cry from what we are used to.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Blackbird Inn. It was a little pricy, but pretty closely aligned with market rates as everywhere in downtown Napa is expensive. Regardless, it was a nice room with plenty of space, nice bathroom, patio included, and the gentleman who greeted us was very nice and helpful. I would stay here again.
3,4 sur août 05, 2014
The Blackbird Inn is very nice. The service was good and stay was very comfortable. Our room was a nice size, bathroom was small. Breakfast was ready and good each day. The location is great. You can walk to anything in downtown Napa. There is no resident family.
4,8 sur juillet 28, 2014
The only thing I would change about the Blackbird Inn would be to move it a block or two off such a busy intersection. Since that isn't going to happen, I would not change a thing. The service was warm and welcoming, the food terrific, and the room was spectacular. When in Napa, stay here. You will not regret it for a minute.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Blackbird Inn and will stay again on our next visit. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful and the rooms (we've stayed in 1 and 4) were very nice, not to mention just a short walk to downtown Napa.

We checked in during early evening and was greeted with a warm welcome by a young gentleman, and wine and hors d'oeuvre. The inn was richly and tastefully furnished. It's close to the restaurant row by the water (15 mins walk or 2 mins drive). We were amazed by the breakfast, featuring a fresh fruit salad (much needed after bein on vacation and getting gluttonously for a week) and yummy breadpudding (which prepared our stomach for more wine tastings). My only complaint is the linens could be more fresh. But other than that, we loved everything about the Blackbird Inn!! Highly recommend.

Very comfortable beds, great service, wonderful B & B!

The room, bed and pillow were very comfortable. The new gal at the desk the day we checked out was great. We did not care for the afternoon wine and snack. I believe it was dried dates or pruners with bread or crackers and humus. We paid a lot for the room due to it being in the holiday week of the 4th of a July.

What a gem of a bed & breakfast within walking distance of the downtown area. We were late arrivals & they were very clear & organized with the directions for access. The rooms are lovely! The gourmet breakfast prompted us to buy their cookbook. Everything was perfect! I highly recommend the Blackbird Inn.

My husband and I spent one night at the Blackbird Inn. The building's exterior is striking, our room was beautifully decorated, the service was helpful, the breakfast was plentiful and tasty (the egg dish was especially noteworthy), and the chocolate chip cookies had the perfect crispy/chewy proportion. On a less-positive side, finding the driveway left our heads spinning. It would have been helpful to let us know that the driveway is not on 1st Street. Although room #3 is billed as ADA-accessible, mobility-impaired people should be aware that there is no transfer bench for the bathtub. If the bathroom is ever remodeled, the tub's height and lip ought to be lower/narrower to facilitate entry. The sink also needs a bench. (My husband used the easy chair's footstool.) Those quibbles notwithstanding, we enjoyed our one night and would definitely stay at a Four Sisters Inn again.
4,4 sur mai 16, 2014
The rooms in the Blackbird Inn are somewhat small, but like the other Four Sisters properties, it is nicely maintained and the food is great.

Our recent stay at the Blackbird Inn was amazing. We were welcomed as soon as we walked in the door. The room was clean and nicely decorated. Only complaint is the location on the street made it so we could hear the traffice noise until later in the evening. We would stay there again in a heart beat. Thank you.

We just had two wonderful nights at the Blackbird Inn. It was a perfect location, nice,clean and comfortable rooms! We loved the front porch, drinking wine and meeting people from all over. The breakfasts were very good and we felt at home the entire visit. Can't wait to go back!! I highly recommend this inn - it's wonderful!

The inn was very clean and cozy. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was within walking distance of restaurants and stores and a nice drive to many wineries.

We had a wonderful anniversary stay at Blackbird Inn in every aspect of our stay. We found the Inn to be even more charming than the picture. They have a nice afternoon wine and appetizers time in late afternoon. All of the rooms are different - ours had a fireplace, jetted tub, wonderfully private balcony with french doors, and amazingly comfortable bed. The inn is a five- to ten-minute walk from the downtown Napa, a destination with cute shops, a great assortment of restaurants, and the Riverwalk. We will definitely return to the Blackbird Inn and would recommend it to tourists and natives alike!

1. The spring on the bed nearest the balcony were extremely noisy waking up my spouse each time I got up or sat down. 2. The oversized chairs were too large even for me, and I am 5' 9". My wife couldn't sit in them without 3 pillows. 3. The bathroom lighting was inadequate for my wife to put on makeup. 4. The bathroom fan was too noisy to use. 5. Quiche every day for breakfast? Otherwise, good. 6. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Coffee, OJ, Milk. they even had to go cups if you are in a rush. Room. #2 Very cozy. relaxing after a long day of wine tasting. Soak in a very deep tiled tub or a nice warm shower. Private entrance for room #2 . tv is a bit small but to be honest if it was a large flatscreen I wouldnt leave the comforts of this B&B. Location: close to downtown. (walking distance) main hwy to area vinyards is 1 mile away. cons: location of house is at a busy ntersection. Police and fire/ems are on the same road and are often passing by.

My husband and I spent two nights at this Inn in December 2007 near the Christmas holiday. The Inn is beautiful and the staff are very friendly. The breakfasts and afternoon food and wine were delicious. We highly recommend this Inn to anyone looking for a very memorable place to stay in the Napa area.

My husband & I stayed here in January 2006. If you appreciate the handsomeness of a superbly built Craftsman style house, this B & B is for you! Our complete breakfasts was tasty & filling. Every night we thoroughly enjoyed our wine & cheese hour. The vegetable & crackers served with the cheese was enough to fill both of us up. And there were always plenty of homemade cookies throughout the day. The small lot the house is on was very well kept. The staff is always ready to help. It's a short distance to the downtown area. It's and easy drove further North to the surrounding vineyards for wine tasting. We can't wait until our next romantic visit to the Blackbird Inn!

Jake Vollmer netted his first career goal on Friday.
Oct. 26, 2007
CINCINNATI - Sophomores Jake Vollmer and Ricky Sutherland scored the game-tying and game-winning goals less than one minute apart late in the second half to propel the Xavier University men's soccer team to a 3-2 victory over league foe Temple on Friday evening at the XU Soccer Complex in Cincinnati. With the win, Xavier improves to 6-9-0 on the year and 2-3-0 in A-10 play. The Owls slip to 4-7-2, 0-3-1.

Our panel: Kevin Weekes (CBC analyst, former NHL goalie), Brooks Laich (forward, Capitals) and John MacLean (Devils coach).
With rosters slowly shaping up, SN asked an analyst, a player and a coach to answer a few questions about how this summer's events will affect next season's standings.
SN: Which team has improved the most this summer?
Weekes: I would say Atlanta. I just like the fact that they got winners in Dustin Byfuglien, Brent Sopel, Ben Eager and Andrew Ladd. (Thrashers G.M.) Rick Dudley is reshaping the culture down there. They have young, hungry players who play well, and they've brought in winners.
Laich: Sometimes the best move is not to do anything at all. Players get better from one year to another. Sometimes there's a surprise; sometimes making no moves is better. I hope I never have to be a G.M. Those are tough decisions.
MacLean: Everybody in July, right now, thinks they have a shot at winning the Cup. You see everybody sign someone. We all made the right moves, and let the season play out and see where they fall. It's hard for me to pick one team, but I don't see our division getting any worse.
SN: Who will be this season's Phoenix Coyotes?
Weekes: I like some of what Tampa has done. It would be Tampa or Atlanta. The key thing Tampa has done is get (new G.M.) Steve Yzerman. I really like that. I like that they were able to re-sign Marty St. Louis, and it seems like Vinny (Lecavalier) is happy there. Both those scenarios had a chance to go sideways.
Laich: Phoenix really came out of the blue and really surprised everybody. Colorado was another team like that. I think the New York Islanders have a lot of good young hockey players— they're capable. I know their players work hard, and I know from our games it's never easy to play them.
MacLean: Young guys add life to a lineup; you have to get them in there. … You have to give them the opportunity and give them the confidence, live with the mistakes they possibly make. Their energy and game rub off in different areas, and those teams (surprise people).
SN: Can the Blackhawks repeat after losing so many key players?
Weekes: It would be great for the game, but I just don't see it. They lost too many key elements to their team to be able to compete. The reality is, who are they replacing them with?
Laich: Coaching is a big part of it. They have a tremendous coach (Joel Quenneville), and they've lost some players. You try and keep your core around. They've got their main guys there and know what it's like to win. There are some pieces of teams that are interchangeable. Those core guys are still there ; the winning attitude is still there. I still think they are going to be one of the teams to beat.
MacLean: They're the Stanley Cup champs. They have a great core. When you win, you learn how to win, and they're still the team to beat.
SN: Which draft pick will make a bigger impact —Taylor Hall in Edmonton or Tyler Seguin in Boston?
Weekes: Equal. I think Hall will make a big impact in Edmonton, but I don't see them making the playoffs. Seguin will make an impact on a better team that I think will make the playoffs and do some damage.
Laich: I think Taylor Hall for one reason: He's going to get a bigger chance than Seguin will. Boston has a couple legitimate centers, and I think Edmonton is going to let Taylor Hall play as much as he can.
MacLean: They both seem like great players. From what you read and see in highlights, at 18 years old, they are ready to step in. Look at Colorado and (Matt) Duchene last year. These kids, they come in and they're prepared. They're in much better shape now. They understand and start going through the process at 13 or 14 . My 13-year-old son is in better shape than I was as a player.

Koch Industries Responds to 'Misleading' UK Articles
Koch Industries recently published a response to the work of UK Independent journalist Steve Connor whose work, Koch says, "misled readers." The two articles accused Koch Industries of secretly funding attacks on climate change.
The articles written by Connor "got many facts about Koch wrong," according to the open letter published on the company's website.
Koch was also unhappy that the British newspaper edited down its letter to the paper without their knowledge "censoring key information and important context."
The accusatory pieces were titled "Exclusive: Billionaires secretly fund attacks on climate science" and "Top climate scientist denounces billionaires over funding for climate-sceptic organisations," published on January 24 and 25 respectively.
Koch's open letter pointedly said that the articles were "predictable in repeating tired and debunked partisan accusations" about their company and said journalist Connor essentially started with a premise and went on to "prove" his claims "offering readers just one side of the story."
The articles, Koch said, were intended only to demonize them and used "loaded words" to attack them.
The reporter asserts that much of the Kochs' funding given to a wide variety of organizations is tied to "promote skepticism towards climate change." He states this with no evidence, only innuendo to support his theory. Quite to the contrary, Charles and David Koch believe it is important to understand the primary and secondary effects that proposed costly initiatives to reduce greenhouse gases will have on the earth's overall climate and public health, relative to the cost of implementation.
The letter goes on to deny that the Koch brothers are "secretive" and noted that the pair has openly advocated for free market principles for 50 years. Over the years, the brothers have also submitted to many in depth articles on their activities and ideals. "Not exactly secretive," the letter says.
"Moreover," the letter says, "the Kochs are advocates of the critical review that is the foundation of sound science, as everyone interested in furthering discovery should be. Climate science is a complex and ever-changing issue."
"Mr. Connor's story," the letter summation reads, "led him up the wrong path."
The entire letter can be seen at www.kochfacts.com.

Kathy S. wrote in to say, "I think Erie has a bumper crop of amazing church and organization rummage sales and bargain-priced yard sales. I can't wait for the 'season' to start."
She's right and it looks like it has.
Rummage, next-to-new and garage sales can be great places to find used items that you need or want for little cost. I still have a set of steak knives that I bought at a garage sale when I moved into my first apartment in the early 1990s. They were practically new and while I don't remember the exact price I paid, I know it was only a few bucks, way less than they would have cost in a store.
Starting tomorrow, Lawrence Park United Methodist Church, 4015 Niagara Place, Lawrence Park Township, is running a three-day rummage sale. Hours are Thursday and Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday is 50-cent bag day from 9 a.m. noon. Call 899-9851 to learn more.
On Saturday, Eastminster Presbyterian Church's women will hold their annual rummage sale from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the church, 2320 East Lake Road, Lawrence Park. Call 455-7819.
What's the best bargain you ever found at a rummage or yard sale?
Know of any upcoming church or organization sales? Share them or an idea with us, like Kathy did, and if it makes it into the blog you'll be entered for the $25 Visa gift card giveaway at the end of the year.


text: Tweet Image Source: Flickr. By: Flyersgirl4118. Living in captivity is not all it's cracked up to be. Imagine: bright flashing lights, being confined to the same small tank day in and day out, and having to perform ridiculous tricks for the entertainment of others. All you get out of it is some stinking fish. Yeah, I'd feel like I got a pretty raw deal, too. Tilikum the killer whale seems to feel the same way. Yesterday, Tilikum attacked and killed a trainer at the Orlando-based SeaWorld. The attack happened right in front of the audience and the trainer was no beginner. Dawn Brancheau, a leading trainer at the park, had worked at the park for 12 years, 10 of which involved working with the whales. If you've been to the Orlando SeaWorld in recent years, you most likely saw the whale in action. Tilikum would be the orca that comes out when the trainers and audience chant "Shamu" during the park's "Believe" show. Many spectators were asked what happened; most gave varying accounts. One audience member claimed the whale "took off really fast in the tank, and then he came back, shot up in the air, grabbed the trainer by the waist, and started thrashing around, and one of her shoes flew off". Others claim Brancheau was grabbed by the upper arm and tossed around while the whale swam around the tank. One thing is for sure: that will be Brancheau's final performance. Unfortunately, it may also be Tilikum's, as well. This is not the first time Tilikum killed people. In 1999, another SeaWorld incident happened, when a man went past security and either fell, jumped, or was pulled into the water. He was later found draped over Tilikum's body. There was also an incident at Sealand of the Pacific in British Columbia, where Tilikum was one of 3 whales suspected of killing a trainer in 1991. However, don't pin all the blame on Tilikum. There are other accounts of captive killer whales attacking people. One whale attempted to hit and bite a trainer at the San Antonio SeaWorld in 2004. Another incident occurred at the San Diego SeaWorld in 2006, when a whale bit and held a trainer underwater during a show. Both of these trainers survived their attacks; however, one trainer at a Spanish zoo was not so lucky—they drowned last December. According to Steve McCulloch, founder and program manager of the Marine Mammal Research and Conservation Program at Harbor Branch/Florida Atlantic University: "It could be play behavior. I wouldn't jump to conclusions. These are very large, powerful marine mammals. They exhibit this type of behavior in the wild. Nobody cares more about the animal than the trainer. It's just hard to fathom that this has happened." It really makes you wonder why all these whales are attacking their trainers. Are they being mistreated? Are they sick of being captive? Maybe they're tired of all the tricks they're forced to do. I can't help but question the methods involved with these animals. Although the killer whale (or orca) is actually a member of the dolphin family, it still has a taste for blood. They are known as the wolves of the sea. They hunt in packs (or pods) and to watch them kill is not a pretty sight. Knowing these things about the orcas (and assuming the people that work with them know, too), you would think this would be anticipated. They are large, carnivorous mammals and there is always that wild instinct in them, no matter how long they may live in captivity. It seems only natural that they would need to unleash that wild side at some point. Needless to say, anytime a person willingly puts themselves into a tank with one of these animals, they are immediately putting themselves at risk. Maybe the whale will swim on by and give you a playful nudge today; but next week that same whale might see you as a tasty snack. If you want to put yourself in that position, I won't stop you. I think it's great to want to work with animals (though I'd rather see those animals in the wild than confined behind tanks or bars). However, as far as the incident goes with Tilikum, put yourself in the whale's position. If you were forced to live in captivity and perform tricks, how would you feel?

Monaco-Arsenal predictionsby Govinda Mar 17, 2015 14:45Govinda Govinda Mar 18, 2015 10:32 Flag
Top 3 finish would be great and arguably and sadly the best progress we can now hope for. The FA cup would be a nice consolation price.
I would take top 3 over FA cup and 4th. I think a top 3 would help in the summer recruitment since it guarantees CL football and top players nowadays tend to want that guarantee. I hate waiting till the after CL pre-qualifying to see if we sign top players.
Having said that 5th at this point is as likely as 3rd or 2nd IMO. At least no more pointless CL football to tire our squad.
- Govinda by Govinda Mar 17, 2015 14:45 Flag
On paper we are still in it against Monaco tonight. With the squad we have compared to Monaco we should have more than the 5% chance we are given.
Having said this, Monaco has performed better then their squad would imply IMO and we tend to under perform in the big games. We saw 2 pleasant surprises this season, one against City and one against Man U.
I think Paulista playing would help but as it stands I predict a draw tonight. I expect to fall pray again to the Monaco counter attack, a weakness we have had for years and I fear we will start rushing and play panic football way too early.
Clearly an early Arsenal goal could spice this game up but chances are higher IMO that a first half Monaco goal would kill an already dead tie of completely.
The silver lining is that being eliminated from the next round of CL football will save us 2 games our squad doesn't need and will allow us to focus on the PL 2 and 3 places (hopefully) and the FA cup.
With Man U, Liverpool and probably City all out of Europe at least it would level the fixture burden a little amongst those teams fighting for the top 4 places.
Direct qualification for next years CL would be a big bonus IMO and better than making it one more round in the CL.
Dear ghosts any thoughts?

Thanks for the reply John. Although I envy you for being able to go the games, I understand the mixed feelings you might have about paying for some of the performances in these big games.
From television it looked similar to what you summarized. Although I think Ozil appeared a bit unlucky with his team mates in as far as some of his passes being squandered.
Your summary could have easily been of an other Arsenal game though and that is the worry for me.
IMO the best game we played as a collective, maybe not the prettiest, was against City. We seemed to press early, move up and down the pitch as a collective, not leaving big spaces between our lines for the opponents to take advantage of and maintained focus pretty much through out the game. It almost felt a little like Barca and Bayern play as a collective and press high on the pitch. But then we never seem to play like that again despite having shown we are capable of it.
By now you know I don't think highly of Giroud and I hope we will add some depth at his position this summer, now that it seems likely Wenger won't spend on a top DM thanks to the impressive debut season of Coqleulin.
As weak as it sounds, I think the ref for the return leg of the Monaco game is going to be the determining factor. Will he allow Monaco to foul us out of our rhythm or will he hand out some early yellows to give us a chance?

I guess the reason this board is so empty is partly because there is nothing new to say about Arsenal that has not been said for the last 7 or 8 years.
It can happen you have a poor game, although it happens far too often to a team with out talent, but with a few leaders on the pitch last night does not happen. To me we lacked leaders more than anything, Leaders would have stopped this running around like a headless chicken and taken a 2-0 or 2-1 defeat.
We have too many players who go missing in the big games and to me Giroud has always been one of them. He is ok against smaller teams but he has very little technique and control.
I thought Ozil was not as bad as the press made him out and many of his passes got wasted by his team mates, but he will never be defensively what Sanchez is. He is a liability for a team with weak defending.

A few seasons ago we never thought we would be talking about Wilshire this way. About his potential etc. We expected that by now the talking would be about his actual game rather than his potential.
He should no longer get a free ride and for the moment, even if he is fit, I don't see his place in the starting 11.
The other problem Arsenal have, IMO, is that we have too many players that have similar attributes. Good technique, easily ran of the ball, small physique, not particularly pacy, preferring to play in the middle of the park.
IMO, we can only really play with a maximum of 2 such players at a time. If you consider 4 defenders and 1 DM that leaves room (ideally) for 2 small technical players, a striker and two quick wide players.
In fact I don't even think there is space for Ozil in our starting 11.
At the moment I would argue for Sanchez-Giroud-Walcott up front and Bellerin - Mert - Cos - Monreal or Gibbs in the back with Coquelin as DM.
This leaves 2 places for centrally functioning midfielders and to me on current form Cazorla is a shoe in leaving Ramsey, Wilshire, Rosicky, Ozil, Ox. When all fit my second choice would be Ox since he has pace which you need in today's game IMO.
- Govinda by Govinda Feb 7, 2015 14:40 Flag
bad result for us but the way we played we didn't deserve more IMO.
Since this board seems dead, I will spare myself the typing of what we could have tried to do to improve the second half after a poor first half.
I still think 4th is out of reach for us.

Video:Profile of Arnold Palmerwith Joe Chiodo
Arnold Palmer is on the short list of the greatest golfers of all time. This About.com video will give you a brief look at the life and career of Arnold Palmer.See Transcript
Transcript:Profile of Arnold Palmer
Hi, I'm Joe Chiodo for About.com and today we're talking about one of the greatest golfers of all time, 'The King', Arnold Palmer
Palmer's Early Life
Palmer was born on September 10th, 1929, in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. The son of the head pro and greenskeeper at Latrobe Country Club, Palmer was able to perfect his craft with hours of practice on the course his father worked at. He attended Wake Forest University on a golf scholarship before leaving school to enlist in the U.S. Coast Guard. After three years of service, Palmer returned to college to resume his competitive golf career, eventually winning the 1954 U.S. Amateur.
Palmer's First Major
Palmer made a big splash on the PGA tour with a victory in his first year at the 1955 Canadian Open. It would be the first of his 62 wins on the PGA Tour, placing him 5th all time in that category. Later that decade, 'The King' would capture his first major championship at the 1958 Masters, establishing himself as a star in not just the world of golf, but the world of sports, a rare title at that time.
Playing Style
In contrast to the subdued nature of golf and stoic demeanor of his competitors, Palmer wore his emotions on his sleeve and played the game with a rare competitive fire. That, along with his good looks and cavalier playing style made him one of the more marketable athletes in sports, an attribute usually used to describe the more popular baseball, basketball, and football players.
Career Highlights and Accomplishments
All in all, Arnold Palmer would go on to capture seven major championships in his illustrious career, winning the Masters four times, the Open Championship twice and one U.S. Open. It is at the 1960 U.S. Open in Cherry Hills, perhaps the most defining moment of Arnold Palmer's career took place, where he captured his first and only U.S. Open Championship.
In 2007, the PGA Tour event that Palmer began hosting in 1979 was renamed in his honor, and is now called the Arnold Palmer Invitational.
Thanks for watching our profile of Arnold Palmer. For more information, check out About.com.

Atomic Makes a Splash with New Website
It's fair to say that at Atomic Crayon, we love to swim. And while our swimming technique might be a little light on ergonomics and a little heavy on water wing usage for Olympic competition, we still get a kick out of flailing around in the pool. And so when we were selected to create the new website for Recreation Oak Bay, we couldn't wait to dive right in!
Featuring indoor & outdoor tennis courts, a fitness studio, swimming pools, a Rotary water park and much more, Recreation Oak Bay is committed to building a healthy community. With state of the art recreation facilities and parks with scenic beauty and wonderful opportunities to play, the Department provides many programs and services to residents of Oak Bay and neighbouring municipalities.
For this latest site, we went to great lengths to ensure that it was one of our most fun, accessible sites yet. We created the site in a visual (free)style that uses bright imagery that helps attract patrons to the fantastic facilities Recreation Oak Bay has to offer, while keeping the wealth of program and facility information easy to read. As for finding that info using our navigation system? Child's play!
We made sure our code was lean, mean and in tip-top condition. This helped created an interwoven menu system that allows website visitors to find programs by activity, age group or venue, or select their drop-in schedules by activity or venue. The coding system allowed content regarding those activities to be entered only once, but still propagated throughout all relevant areas of the site.
Having such a limber system was particularly useful for R.O.B. staff as they would be entering the content themselves using the WordPress CMS system. We coded the site in WordPress templates and provided all documentation and training for the client on how to use the system, thereby allowing them to update the website themselves in a quick, cost-effective manner. Cost-efficiency was a matter of accentuated importance in light of the fact that the department is fully funded by taxpayers.
Recreation Oak Bay ensures that recreation is for everyone by having top-notch services for the disabled. We made certain that ethos was reflected in the website, as well, by creating accessibility features for the site, which help visually impaired people use the site and, subsequently, enjoy the great facilities and programs on offer.

Martinez Signs Tax Break For Santa Teresa Project
By KRWG News
Santa Teresa – Gov. Susana Martinez has signed legislation to provide a tax incentive for a planned Union Pacific rail hub in southern New Mexico.
The company expects to start construction this summer on a rail center in the Santa Teresa area.
Union Pacific plans to spend more than $400 million on the project, including a facility to fuel locomotives, a switching yard, buildings for crew changes and a terminal for loading and unloading cargo containers that can be used on ships, trucks and trains.
The governor signed legislation Tuesday in Santa Teresa to offer a locomotive fuel tax break to help draw the rail yard project to New Mexico. About 3,000 construction jobs are expected.

I was looking for something for home defense and target shooting and plan on dabbling with competeing. No carry laws here so concealment was a non factor in my decision.
