–but when you try it, it's not quite as 'easy' as it was claimed to be, and it doesn't get you more than a trickle of visitors to your site. So, you do the only thing that makes sense–
you try ANOTHER traffic method you read about or got in some product you bought (maybe like me you got suckered into buying one of those '3 clicks to crazy traffic and a bank account stuffed with cash' gimmicks–don't worry, I won't tell )
And you go through this same cycle until you come to the ONE realization every marketer has to face…
You were led to believe and told everywhere you look that getting traffic is 'easy' yet when you try any of the 'easy' methods they get you nowhere but BROKE and frustrated.
But before you give up on your Internet marketing dream and just accept the fact that you need to work a thankless job for a halfwit boss for the rest of your life…let me share this with you.
It's that simple. If you want more traffic you need more backlinks. (backlinks are links to your site from other sites. So if you have an affiliate link on your site for example, that is a backlink to the affiliate product site. You want to get as many other sites linking to YOUR site as possible…)
The problem is, building backlinks takes a ton of time and work. First you need to find sites you can get backlinks from–blogs, directories, social bookmarking sites and others. Then you need to narrow those down to your niche or keywords. Next you need to create and post content–write articles, make videos, create profiles, or post comments. And even after all that unless you got lucky and stumbled upon some "authority sites" in your niche you may need to do this 1,000s of times to get any results at all.
Now that's a LOT of steps and it can take hours to create even just a few simple backlinks. At that speed it will take you a year to get enough backlinks to reach page 1 and see any real traffic. Well, that's old school. Now you can forget all that because…
Most "automatic" backlink tools create spammy, low quality links and can get your site slapped or de-listed:
– they just spam bulk comments so most just get deleted and never become backlinks
– they post the same content on every site so search engines don't count those links anyway
– they post to crappy low authority sites – you'd need 100,000 to get anywhere with that
– they only get backlinks from 1 type of site which isn't natural so search engines penalize you
Backlink Automator lets you create REAL, QUALITY, UNIQUE backlinks on high authority sites in seconds so you'll get FREE traffic and never worry about getting slapped or de-listed…
Just click the webpages from the results list you want backlinks from and the page opens right in the software!
Simply fill in any fields with just a mouse click from name and URL to articles and comments. And you can save up to 10 versions of every field so your backlinking is point-and-click simple yet your backlinks will be unique and get your more traffic! And you can even use spintax for even more automatic variations!
(the PRO version of Backlink Automator will even post backlinks for you 100% automatically AND check your sites to verify number of backlinks for you! Details at checkout…)
You get everything you need to build backlinks on warp speed and generate a continuous flood of targeted traffic for all of your sites.
You get unlimited access to Backlink Automator and you can use it to generate backlinks and traffic for an UNLIMITED number of sites. Software this powerful could easily cost $2,000 and be worth every penny because you get a LIFETIME supply of FREE traffic!
But we want you to benefit, and at that price only a select few could afford it…
So when you order now, you get INSTANT ACCESS to the Members Area where you can download the Backlink Automator software and start using it in just minutes. And you won't pay close to $2,000.
Order now and get the Full Backlink Automator software package, LIFETIME UNLIMITED license, and full instructional videos for only

No questions asked! You either see results with Backlink Automator or you don't pay….

Display - Best practice
What is best practice in handling movement from screen to screen in midlet?
My teacher at university wasn't able to explain this to me, could be due to that he chuck whole 300+ lines in one file.
Secondly none of the books or tutorials that I read so far went on discussing this.
So here is how I do it and I would like to know if my approach is correct and if not I would like to know how to handle this correctly.
package imageHttp;

import javax.microedition.lcdui.Display;
 import javax.microedition.midlet.MIDlet;

import imageHttp.gui.MainMenu;

public class ImageHttp extends MIDlet{

 public static ImageHttp instance;
 private MainMenu mMenu;

 public ImageHttp(){
 instance = this;
 }

 public void startApp(){
 if(mMenu == null){
 mMenu = new MainMenu();
 }
 Display.getDisplay(this).setCurrent(mMenu);
 }

 public void pauseApp(){}

 public void destroyApp(boolean unconditional){}

 public static void quitApp(){
 instance.destroyApp(true);
 instance.notifyDestroyed();
 instance = null;
 }
 }
package imageHttp.gui;

import javax.microedition.lcdui.Command;
 import javax.microedition.lcdui.CommandListener;
 import javax.microedition.lcdui.Display;
 import javax.microedition.lcdui.Displayable;
 import javax.microedition.lcdui.List;

public class MainMenu extends List implements CommandListener{
 private final Command exitCom;

 public MainMenu(){
 super("Image Up/Down-load", List.IMPLICIT);

 exitCom = new Command("Exit",Command.EXIT,0);
 addCommand(exitCom);
 setCommandListener(this);
 }

 public void commandAction(Command c, Displayable d){
 if(c == exitCom){
 imageHttp.ImageHttp.quitApp();
 }
 else{
 int index = getSelectedIndex();
 Displayable dis = null;
 switch(index){
 case 0:
 dis = new ImageUrlRequest();
 break;
 case 1:
 dis = new ImageServletRequest();
 break;
 case 2:
 dis = new ImageUpload();
 break;
 default:
 break;
 }
 Display.getDisplay(imageHttp.ImageHttp.instance).setCurrent(dis);
 }
 }
 }
In my opinion this better solution then sending instance of Displayable argument to next class.
sfitzjava thank you for explanation, it was very helpful
doing all of these static calls, and memory segment changes to address remotely located variables is not only a lot of typing but also can cause performance issues on small devices.
There are dozens of possible ways to address this depending on your desires. I use my project MicroBus.dev.java.net to handle this decoupling of classes by use of messaging. On one side I have an event, which fires a message, the other an object that registers for listening to for given messages. That would be major overkill for your needs :)
To help with performance/addressing issues you can add an instance variable of "private Display disp = Display.getDisplay(this);" to the ImageHttp class. Then by adding a method to change the current screen like:
public void changeScreen(Displayable _ui) { disp.setCurrent(_ui); }
Then your screen change logic goes from:
It's a little shorter code, but it removes the need to constantly call into the Display object, while changing the addressing to get the ImageHttp instance and then switch back to the Display Object to set the current UI.
However you will find that each screen may need to have its own commandListener which will make your app get really messy real quick. Making each screen then it's own CommandListener is going to be a better organization of logic, and here is a way that can help automate some construction logic by passing the class name and then you could have your ImageHttp pass an instance of itself to the class and not have to make a static variable of itself. This would require all screens you build have an interface, I'll call it CoreUI, and have one method: "void setUIManager(ImageHttp _mgr) ;"
Each Screen class would need to set itself as the commandListener and then implement CoreUI with an instance variable of type ImageHttp that I'll call mgr and the setUIManager implementation:
public void setUIManager(ImageHttp _mgr) { mgr =_mgr;}
Then to change the view all they need to do is call:
or if you had your screen classes defined in the CoreUI as constants then:
Then your ImageHttp class would have this changeScreen() method:
public void changeScreen(String _uiClass)
Displayable display = null;
{ display = (DIsplayable)Class.forName(_uiClass).newInstance();
}catch(Exception e){}
Then in ImageHttp's startApp() method instead of building the MainMenu class you use:
or if you setup the constant in CoreUI:
Following this style will also allow you to not have the static "instance" variable, and the quitApp() method can go from a class method to an instance method. (no more statics in your app)

Solutions for Your Toughest Problems

[Monday, September 18, 2006]
Is the $.16 cent per sq. ft. rate for cleaning a standard price nationwide, or does it vary? How much is it in Texas?
Bidding & Estimating
- Katherine Hauer
Using national and state averages can be risky when bidding janitorial contracts. In Texas, the janitorial/custodial starting rate is $7.14 in Lubbock, but in Austin it starts at $9.23 an hour (source: www.bls.gov). You need to determine the labor rate for your city by checking the above web site.
Secondly, cleaning specs greatly vary. Some customers only want a touch up on certain nights, eliminating hours of detail work. Some may want trash and rest rooms only and others want a full detail cleaning nightly. Price per square foot is good to know, but more important is the production time to clean the building. Use that to arrive at your hourly billing rate.
Office cleaning production rates often vary from 2,400 to 3,800 + square feet per hour. Of course, this depends upon the cleaning specs, size of building, experience of your staff, equipment used, and difficulty factors. Your hourly rate begins with labor, payroll expenses, supplies, and overhead, and then you add desired profit. Some small contractors double or triple the labor rate to arrive at the billing rate.
There are a lot of variables to consider, the prime one being a scale of efficiency. If you bid a 100,000 square foot building at $.16 and your total expenses were $8,000 a month, it would be unlikely a building owner or manager would be willing to pay you $8,000 a month to manage a cleaning crew.
I would suggest you purchase some of the excellent books, training programs, and janitorial estimating software that are available. You can never know too much about bidding, and knowing too little can be hazardous to your pocket book.

His jacket collar was askew. I reached around his neck and fixed it. With my hands still on his collar I looked him in the eyes and said, "Thank you."
I wasn't sure he understood. Dementia had made its claim on the 85-year-old World War II veteran. But there was a slight smile and he nodded his head.
The Humane Society and Pet Finders have joined countless other rescue groups across the nation to host a Foster a Lonely Pet for the Holidays Month.
Locally we'd just like to call it Home for the Holidays. It is a way to get people to foster pets for the holidays to give them the most precious of gifts, a chance at life.
I want to thank Congressman John Spratt for demonstrating outstanding leadership in the U.S. Congress. Congressman Spratt has become one of the leading experts on both the budget and defense. I respect his knowledge of the budget and the ability that he has to build consensus on reforming health care while insisting on fiscal discipline and accountability. Congressman Spratt listens to the concerns of the people and addresses an issue in detail. When you ask him a question you will get an honest answer.
It's National Newspaper Week and a good time to set the record straight about South Carolina's 115 daily and weekly newspapers.
Just like other businesses, newspapers, including The Lancaster News, are facing tight times in this tough economy.
But unlike some highly-publicized big city newspapers, The Lancaster News isn't going away.
The Lancaster News will keep coming to you next week to tell you what's going on in your community. And we should be thankful for that.
You may have found a couple of the photos that we ran with the Oct. 11 article on Healing Horses disturbing. In one photo, you can see horses tied to a tree.
They were all malnourished and recently rescued by Healing Horses, a nonprofit organization in Van Wyck where abused horses find a haven for healing.
In the photo of the three horses tied to the tree, you can clearly see the outline of ribs on the brown horse in the foreground.
It's a sad picture.
I am a volunteer for the American Red Cross. At 10:15 p.m. Aug. 9, I was called to a fire off S.C. 75, going toward Waxhaw. I called the sheriff's office to verify the location.
But you couldn't miss it because there were four volunteer fire departments, two EMS vehicles and an ambulance to help with the fire and dwelling. It was a big fire.
I met with a firefighter who took my wife and me to meet the family, a couple with an 18-month-old baby. The woman was eight months pregnant.
While waiting in line for the Jungle Cruise ride at Walt Disney World several years ago, I talked with a charming family from upstate New York. It was the first trip to the Sunshine State for the 11-year-old girl, her mother and father.
They were excited and chatted freely. Until they asked where we were from. At the moment I got South Carolina out of my mouth, the three almost collectively took a step back. And the chatting stopped.
The gesture was so obvious it surprised me. I couldn't figure out why I suddenly became so offensive.
Habitat for Humanity offers the chance to realize the ultimate American dream – home ownership.
To keep that vision alive locally, the Habitat for Humanity is in need of public support.
Volunteers are always a need, but local Habitat officials need other items to help at construction sites.
Habitat is in need of tools to help with area projects.
Contractors come and help with projects and use their own tools, but Habitat officials don't want them to wear out their own tools.

Lisa Sprague 2012: She will put the "She" back into Sheriff and clean the Dept's "riff" of the good ol' boys!
Lisa Sprague running for Sheriff of Leon County in 2012 is a blessing for this community. There are so many great things to say about this remarkable and dedicated professional with her name standing alone not being that of "Larry Campbell".
The Tallahassee O of the Freedom Of The Press Group, LLC strongly supports this candidate as it's time for new leadership and new ideas in the Sheriff's Office. Our newspaper and websites have received so many statements from our readers on reasons why that you should vote for Lisa Sprague. If you have been reading all of our stories, you certainly know why Sheriff Larry Campbell is currently unfit to be a Sheriff in the Department. There is just so much public corruption for cover-ups among the good ol' boys for protecting themselves and not the public citizenry as sworn to do for protecting and serving the community. Numerous deputies have been arrested in the last few years for illegal criminal activities and conducts unbecoming of officers.
This Leon County Sheriff's Office needs a new leadership and the time is now for Lisa Sprague to Put the "She" back into Sheriff and clean the department's "riff" of these good ol' boys! Please visit her website and facebook page to read about her excellent track record and qualifications in law enforcement:
Lisa Needs Your Help To Win This Election To Make Big Changes In Leon County For A Better Community! She Requires 1600 Petitions to get on the Ballot next November in running for Sheriff. She still needs several more! We would greatly appreciate if you could print one from her website at http://lisaforsheriff.com/ for registered voters of Leon County And Mail them to the address on the website.
We would also appreciate if our readers could donate any money in helping the campaign as it takes thousands of dollars to run a competive campaign in running for Sheriff. This money will be used for advertising, costs of signs, supplies, campaign management, web site costs, etc. We thank our readers for your support as it's past time for new leadership and new ideas! Lisa is the "She" for the job!
The proper way to clean up this department at this point is to vote and elect a woman with the honesty, integrity, skills and qualifications of Lisa Sprague in 2012 for new ideas and new leadership! The time is now for our change in the community instead of the same riff of good ol' boys.
We personally thank all of our readers for any support in this matter to better our community in Leon County! This message is strictly a political recommendation by Citizens to our readers to help make the Leon County community better in the future by people that care.

Highly unsatisfactory reminders experience: SMS alert and time-zone bug report
already around a month ago when Todoist went online with HTML5, I had problems with SMS notification to a German number. The issue was resolved by using the Canadian gateway.
Now since two days ago, I again don't receive SMS messages anymore (also not the test message), even though I used all three hosts for all combinations:
That's the first thing. The other bug lies within the time-zone settings.
I am currently in London (GMT +1) now, but DELIBERATELY set my time-zone to Berlin (GMT +2), but I can't even imagine how and why Todoist always takes my time-zone as the London one, meaning: For example, if I wanted an alarm at 9am London time, I should set the reminder at 10am with my time-zone set to Berlin. But no, I get the alarm at 10am London time, i.e. one hour too late. I know I am in London, but as I said, I have my reasons why I need the time-zone to be Berlin. And okay, maybe Todoist automatically sets the time-zone by reading it out from my machine? But then why is there the option to choose the time-zone anyway?
Btw, this issue only arised several days ago - I dunno whether it has some correlation with the SMS notification bug.
All responses
Hello Jimmy,
we're very sorry for the inconvenience. It's possible that the route has changed for your phone number if you've changed your location. Please send your full phone number to firstname.lastname@example.com and we will contact our SMS provider about it.
As for the second issue - in order for the due times and reminders on your tasks to be correct, both your computer/phone and Todoist need to have the same time zone selected. If you use a time zone that's 1 hour off from the real time (the time on your device), the tasks and reminders will indeed be off as well. The only workaround would be to use the Berlin time zone in any setting (incl. your computer's settings) and then a reminder set to 10am (Berlin time) should reach you at 9am (London time).
Best regards,

WOOSTER -- Terrorist threats against the United States do not surprise Andrew Thomas, a University of Akron professor who has written extensively about transportation security.
Despite the Transportation Security Administration's efforts, "bad guys still want to blow up airliners," Thomas said. He was in town Monday to speak to the Wooster Rotary Club about the future of the airlines industry and transportation security.
The Associated Press reported Tuesday about an online graphic that was discovered. It was designed as a mock movie poster indicating al-Qaida was interested in returning soon to New York. Al-Qaida has been linked with the 9/11 terrorist attacks in which airplanes were flown into the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. Another plane, suspected to be headed to the White House or the U.S. Capitol, was overtaken by passengers and crashed into a field outside of Shanksville, Pa. In all, more than 3,000 were killed.
Most of Thomas' discussion centered in a new era in the industry dawned, opening up flying opportunities for more Americans. He told the group he did not want to take too much time and talk about the negative aspects, rather the positive.
One of the problems of the TSA is it always establishes a policy to prevent something after a threat has been detected. After Richard Reid was discovered trying to hide a bomb in his shoe, all flight passengers were required to remove their shoes. Consequently, the TSA is always fighting the last war, Thomas said.
He said al-Qaida has perfected the "booty bomb," an explosive device that can be secreted in a body cavity and escape detection by the TSA's full-body screenings, something Thomas refers to as the "naked scanners."
Given the trajectory of the TSA's, Thomas posited whether posterior checks would be proposed by the agency. If so, then Thomas predicts it will kill the industry.
Since the 9/11 attacks, this country realized for the first time "the airlines industry is something we need," Thomas said. "If 9/11 showed us anything (regarding air travel), it is that we are all in this together. We will never forget 9/11."
When people don't fly, the economy suffers, Thomas said. The airlines have become important for manufacturers who use a just-in-time inventory process, shipping needed medicines and allowing people to travel great distances to attend a loved one's funeral.
Thomas, who logs about 100,000 flight miles annually, recognizes the benefits of air travel and how it is the safest form of travel, yet, he doesn't like to get on a plane. Part of it has to do with the TSA full-body screenings, and part of it has to do with what he calls the "cattle class," those flying in the "back of the plane."
For most of Thomas' flights, he sits in the back of the airplane. It is there where the airlines pack people in and basically adds charges for everything other than the seat. Flights usually look full of passengers because there are fewer flights scheduled, he said. The airlines industry has about a 90 percent occupancy rate.
The cost has come down tremendously over the years, and so has the customer service, Thomas said. Individuals recognize air travel is indispensable, but they want a better experience.
Thirty years ago, a flight from New York to Los Angeles might have cost $2,200. Today, it is around $450-$500.
Lower fares were introduced May 28, 1992, when Northwest Airlines offered a free adult ticket with the purchase of a children's ticket, Thomas said. It was the introduction of the flying cheap model. Within 24 hours, American Airlines followed suit by offering two tickets for the price of one.
It came at a time when the economy was struggling and flights were being canceled because of few or no passengers.
While air travel is important, the industry has yet to have a profitable year, Thomas said. Without government subsidies, the industry might not exist. The government pays for air traffic control services, the TSA and fuel subsidies.
During a question-and-answer period, Sue Crawford asked given the tight economy, what happens with the maintenance of the aircraft.
About two-thirds of the planes flown in this country are serviced outside of the United States, Thomas said, in places like El Salvador, Mexico and China.
Ron Holtman asked whether pre-screening for flights might become an option.
Thomas said yes, noting it has been tried before. The problem, though, he is not willing to provide his personal information because contractors and subcontractors have used the information for other purposes before.

Firstly spotted in February, 2012, this group of rogues is based on TrojanDownloader:Win32/FakeVimes which tends to attack poorly protected systems. As soon as it downloads FikeVimes components, Trojan sets the system to display fake alerts and scanners reporting about malicious programs detected. This family of programs additionally offers to purchase illegitimate security software. All programs that belong to this family share identical GUI and also use the same alerts expected to make users concerned about their PCs' security. Typically, FakeVimes members are active for no more than 5 days.Security experts report that FakeVimes family has been particularly popular among Internet criminals and it is expected to grow in the future.

With the MN Marriage amendment having been shot down in November, it conceivably cleared a path to make same-sex marriage legal in the state of Minnesota. Gov. Mark Dayton has even gone on the record saying he would sign a bill legalizing same-sex marriage if indeed the MN Legislature (now completely controlled by the Governor's fellow Democrats) passes such a measure. Even though the current legislative session is only three weeks along, there has been no indication that DFLers will consider such a bill. Since every single DFL legislator (except one) opposed the Marriage amendment (which, if it were passed by MN voters, would've made marriage strictly between one woman and one man) in 2011, it seemed only natural they would knock out that issue week one since they now control both the House and Senate.
In the grand scheme of things, it may not be the wisest thing politically for the DFL to resolve this issue for at least a couple of reasons.
- The Democrats would no longer have the issue to use as a proverbial bloody shirt when slamming their GOP opponents as people who want to deny
a gay coupletwo people who love each other from having a life together.
- If gay marriage did become legal in Minnesota, the risk for Democrats is gay couples will start to focus upon the aspects of life with which heterosexual couples already concern themselves: financially supporting their families. Can you imagine the Governor's sales tax base broadening kicking in around the same time gay marriage becomes legal? Now that they're free to marry legally, Jim & Steve are awakened to the harsh reality that they have to pay sales tax on their wedding planning services. Oh, and don't forget, Jim & Steve may also want to add children to the mix. So when the Governor and his DFL legislature (bought and paid for by Alliance for a Better Minnesota) pass a law unionizing home day care services, to whom do you think the extra costs will be passed to cover the extra business expense that is union dues? The parents of course.
Remember when the Democrats (specifically Sen. Tom Bakk, now the Senate Majority Leader) and their supporters shrieked that gay people's civil rights would be infringed upon if marriage in Minnesota were simply between an opposite sex couple? Guess what? Gay marriage is still illegal, yet the DFL is doing nothing to right that wrong even though they have the complete power to do so.
Why is the DFL denying two people who love each other the right to be married?

Review | Vanessa Carlton, Rabbits on the Run
Entertainment Jul. 18, 2011 AT 12:26PM
Out: Tuesday 7/26
Us Rating: **1/2
Thanks to Vanessa Carlton, piano-driven pop music is alive and (mostly) well. True, none of the singles on her fourth album will live up to her inaugural smash, 2002's "A Thousand Miles." But the singer's gentle delivery and ivory-tickling excel on soul-searching efforts such as the blissful "I Don't Want to Be a Bride." (Razor & Tie)

(CNN) During the week, there's nothing harder than waking up and being energized throughout the day after a really bad night sleep. Well, there could be a powerful new way to recover from a less than full night and CNN has the results of an eye-opening new study.
The National Institutes of Health studied 164 people and regardless of how the quality of their sleep actually was the night before, one group was randomly told they were better rested scored higher on simple addition tests. The group that thought they had a rough night sleep scored worse.
Researchers conclude that there is a powerful placebo effect at play. When you think you are better rested, you will perform as if you really are, and that mindset sets you up better to tackle the day.

Formby's red squirrel population recovering
Latest update 25.11.2013 09:13
A study by the University of Liverpool has found that the red squirrel population along the Sefton coastline appears to be recovering from a serious outbreak of squirrel pox in 2008.
Our researchers, in collaboration with the University of Liverpool and the Lancashire Wildlife Trust have been monitoring the red squirrel population along this stretch of Lancashire coast, since the outbreak which resulted in a 90 per cent fall in the red squirrel population.
What is squirrel pox?
Squirrel pox is a potentially fatal disease which affects red squirrel populations in some areas and is thought that to be a significant factor in the decline of the red squirrel population in the UK. The virus is often carried by grey squirrels from North America, which rarely die from the disease as their population has developed immunity having been exposed to the virus for many years.
A positive outlook
Dr Julian Chantrey, from the University's Institute of Integrative Biology, said: 'We have had a unique opportunity to study the dynamics of the squirrel pox disease. So far, our findings indicate that they are recovering from the disease which affected them so severely in 2008.'
'There are even indications that a few of the surviving squirrels appear to have antibody to the virus, which would suggest that they have recovered from infection in the past. More recently, we have identified a red squirrel that recovered naturally from squirrel pox and was released back into the population. However, at this stage, there is insufficient evidence to say whether there is significant resistance in the population as a whole to prevent another pox outbreak.'
Andrew Brockbank, our countryside manager for Formby, said: 'Red squirrels would feature on many people's list of favourite British wildlife and it's been a huge relief to see the numbers recovering at Formby in the last five years after the 2007/2008 crash.
'Whether red squirrels have any long term immunity or not remains to be seen. But the recovery of the population and the findings of the research give us hope that red squirrels have a better chance of survival than we had thought possible just a few years ago.'
Numbers of red squirrels at Formby have recovered well in the last few years and they are up to around 50 per cent of the total found here before the crash.
Funding for the research has been provided by the Natural Environment Research Council. Further financial support has come through money raised from virtual gifts in the 2007 National Trust Christmas catalogue specifically for red squirrel conservation at Formby.
Did you know?
Once found throughout most of the UK, the distribution of red squirrels has declined dramatically in the last 100 years with the break-up of their woodland habitats and the spread of the larger, more dominant North American grey squirrel. As a result, red squirrels have only a few remaining habitats.
Our red squirrel sites are becoming increasingly important havens. You can see squirrels at:
- Formby on the Sefton coast
- Lake District in Cumbria
- Brownsea Island in Dorset
- Wallington in Northumberland
- Crom Estate in Co Fermanagh, Northern Ireland
- Florence Court in Co Fermanagh, Northern Ireland
- Mount Stewart in Co Down, Northern Ireland
- Newtown and the Mottistone estate on the Isle of Wight
In 2005, Formby and the Sefton coast woodlands became part of the third national red squirrel refuge.

JDM Allstars Silverstone > THE FINAL from Josh Allen on Vimeo.
I was just browsing around on Facebook when a message showed up in my inbox from videographer Josh Allen from Will Shoot For Food. He sent me a link to this video and asked me to check it out.
This short, but SICK, video is of the final battle between Luke Fink (Low-Brain Drifters PS13) and Jon Calvert (Neuton Tyres/Mei No Mai 180sx) from the closing round of the 2010 JDM Allstars Championship. It also features some dope, in-car POV footage shot on ContourHD cameras!
The final at Silverstone Circuit was an interesting one and it was really anyone's game with Dan Chapman, Luke Fink and Jon Calvert all running close in the standings. Unfortunately, everything got a little turned on its head during practice and qualifying – thanks to mixed weather turning the track into an unpleasant combination of dry and wet patches. A lot of the top runners in the series struggled and even the likes of Dan Chapman had his dreams of a championship win smashed when he qualified 23rd.
By the Top 16, the track had dried out and everyone had stepped their game up big time. But from the off, it was clear to see that Fink and Calvert were gunning for the top spot and that's how we ended up with this spectacular final. The judges decided to give the win to John Calvert in the end but, with the points from qualifying added to his total, the championship went to Luke Fink! Congratulations!
If you like a bit of intense twin drifting, you should check out this video. Full videos from Silverstone AND Wembley will be out pretty soon as well. It's just that Josh has been busy working a ton of projects – such as a rather interesting film from our excursion in Poland. On top of that he's also been trying to contain his excitement at the thought of coming over to the USA for the Red Bull Drifting World Championship later this year. He's not quite sure how he's going to do it yet, but if anyone wants to help him out organizing his trip over, please contact us at (motormavens(at)gmail.com) or him at (josh(at)jdmallstars.com)!

More Than a Game
TV advertising is tired. Internet banners have stopped clicking. What's next? Play the "advergame." America's addiction to video games is leading the way to a brand-new advertising platform with astounding click-through rates, play times, and peer-to-peer potential.
How many 2002 Super Bowl spots made you sit up and take notice? When was the last time you saw a banner ad that really clicked with you? Madison Avenue is in a creative slump. That's why marketers are testing alternatives to the 30-second spot and the pop-up ad. Their latest experiment: the "advergame."
America's growing fascination with video games is hard to exaggerate. Last year, U.S. sales of video-game hardware and software rose 43% to hit $9.4 billion — which exceeded Hollywood's box-office receipts of $8.35 billion. It's only natural for advertisers to want to tap into that enthusiasm and to try to exploit it.
"Games are not just about entertainment anymore," explains Keith Ferrazzi, president and CEO of YaYa LLC, a Los Angeles-based firm that produces and serves low-bandwidth, high-resolution advergames for clients including Burger King, Ford, and IBM. "We have a new medium that is fundamentally different."
A software company with Hollywood flair, YaYa spent its first year developing a proprietary technology that can stream 3-D, console-quality games to millions of players via a 33-K connection. It also logs each player's every move — from the make and model of your dream race car to your zip code and birth date. While many of its online-advertising peers were hitting the skids, YaYa grew its client list and actually hit profitability. The company built a SimCity-like game for Siemens AG, a Pepsi racing game featuring a Britney Spears look-alike, and a game for the Roundarch consulting group that helps chief marketing officers diagnose their company's CRM capabilities.
What's the attraction for advertisers? "Interactive marketing allows a company to enter into a relationship with a new consumer right there in the medium," says Ferrazzi, who left his job as chief marketing officer at Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide to head up YaYa in November 2000. According to YaYa's data, approximately 50% of consumers who receive a game through promotional email play it for some 25 minutes. Players can then forward the game to a friend with a message, an all-time best score, and a replay of an especially impressive jump shot or spinout. Ninety percent of those who receive an email challenge play the game and pass it back. That level of peer-to-peer marketing is unparalleled.
Ferrazzi also wants to challenge the economics of advertising. So with the debut of its software, YaYa introduced a new metric — "cost per time engaged" — as an alternative to cost per impression.
James Nail, senior analyst for Forrester Research, argues that this metric fails to gauge the efficacy of advergaming. "The real question about advergames is, Does the experience do anything to improve a consumer's brand perception and intent to purchase?" he says. "Who cares how long a consumer plays if the advergame doesn't move product?"
But advertisers think YaYa is on to something — especially when campaigns can start as low as $150,000. Perhaps that is why, in the midst of an advertising drought, YaYa has been reeling in clients such as DaimlerChrysler and Paramount Pictures. Even AOL and Yahoo are knocking on Ferrazzi's door. "We built this company as an alternative to traditional online advertising," he says. "Everyone is talking about how banner ads suck. Well, here's your alternative."

Sidebar: He Got Game
When Atari introduced Pole Position in 1982, the racing game became an arcade classic and set an industry standard. So it's no surprise that YaYa LLC, run by CEO Keith Ferrazzi, has created a multiplayer racing game that shadows the classic.
YaYa's Honda racing game aims to engage customers with sleek graphics, 3-D replays, and replica Hondas — all streaming over the puniest Internet connection without missing a turn. But unlike PlayStation's ever-popular Gran Turismo, YaYa's racing game collects psychographic data about its players.
A market-research tool in disguise, the Honda advergame asks players to submit their age, address, occupation, and hobbies before playing. This line of questioning has struck some experts as intrusive and ineffective. "Why would I fill in endless fields of information when I can go turn on my Xbox and play a game instantly?" asks former Scient chief marketing officer Christopher Lochhead, who now runs a consulting firm.
Honda asked the same question and decided to reward registrants by entering them in a contest to win a 2002 Honda CR-V. Players took the bait. In the end, nearly 80% of registered users played the game — for an average of four and a half minutes. Based on registration data, Honda says that it was able to project buying trends and bolster internal market research.

All 50 teams are written up with explanations for why they were placed in these positions. These are the official National Sports News Service Top 50 on HighSchoolGridiron.com, which date back to the 1910 season. COMING UP WITHIN THE NEXT FEW DAYS: Mr. Football USA is announced plus the 2012 National Coach of the Year.
Compiled by Doug Huff & Mark Tennis
CLICK HERE for final Region-By-Region Top 20 Rankings
CLICK HERE for a look at how national prep football rankings have evolved since 1927.
1. Katy (Katy, Texas) 16-0
After winning the Class 5A Division II state title, the Tigers ended with 829 points and an average of nearly 52 points per game. The school also went 16-0 in 2007 when it ended No. 4 in the final Top 50 national rankings. That was Katy's highest national finish until this season. College-committed players included running back Adam Taylor (Nebraska), defensive end Matt Dimon (Oklahoma), defensive back Kyle Fulks (Baylor) and defensive back Isaiah Brown (Tulsa).
2. John Curtis (River Ridge, La.) 14-0
The Patriots capped a dominating season by repeating as the Class 2A state titlist while winning their 25th crown since 1975. It was one of the most talent-laden rosters in the long career of head coach J.T. Curtis, the nation's second winningest pilot with a 530-54-6 record since 1969. Curtis defeated Evangel Christian (Shreveport, La.), the 1999 national champion, 35-13 in the title game. Linebacker Duke Riley led the defense with eight tackles and returned a fumble 80 yards for a score. The Patriots outscored 14 foes by a whopping 677-60 margin, including a 33-3 defeat of Florida power Plant (Tampa, Fla.), which was a state champion and top 20 team from 2011.
3. De La Salle (Concord, Calif.) 15-0
Having to play an extra CIF regional bowl game did not prevent the Spartans from winning their fourth straight CIF Open Division state bowl title or from being No. 1 in California for the 16th time in the last 21 seasons. De La Salle dominated previously unbeaten Folsom (Calif.) 49-15 in the first Northern California bowl game, then topped Centennial (Corona, Calif.) 49-28 the next week. This also was the first 15-0 season in the 34-year tenure of head coach Bob Ladoucuer, who improved his career record to 399-24-3 and has since announced he is retiring from that post. Ladouceur will continue to serve on the coaching staff, which will now be led by former assistant Justin Alumbaugh.
4. Allen (Allen, Texas) 15-1
The first season in which the Eagles played in their new much-publicized $60 million stadium ended up being a state championship season. Allen did lose one regular season game to Coppell (Texas), but knocked off DeSoto (Texas) in the Class 5A Division I semifinals one week after DeSoto had soundly beaten Coppell. The 51-36 win over DeSoto also ruined any chances that DeSoto had of finishing No. 1 in the nation, although it should be noted that Katy had been higher than DeSoto in all of the state polls entering the playoffs. Allen then faced unbeaten Lamar (Houston, Texas) in the final before 48,379 at Cowboys Stadium and posted a 35-21 win. Sophomore quarterback Kyler Murray's touchdown runs of 55 and 68 yards in the first half plus Marcus Ward's 61-yard scamper with 6:06 left in the game keyed the victory. Allen won its last state title and finished in the top five of the nation previously in 2008.
5. Bellevue (Bellevue, Wash.) 14-0
After all games were in the books in Washington, the big question is what might have happened if the Wolverines and unbeaten Class 4A champ Skyline (Sammamish, Wash.) had played. They did play last year and Bellevue won plus the Wolverines played a very good out-of-state team – Trinity (Euless, Texas) – and won compared to Skyline, which did not. Bellevue capped its season with a 35-3 win over Eastside Catholic of Sammamish in the state final. The team also won its fifth straight state title and extended its winning streak to 40 games.
6. Norcross (Norcross, Ga.) 15-0
It only took a couple of weeks early in the season for the Blue Devils to emerge as possible top 10 national team. They did it by beating Parkview (Lilburn, Ga.) before Parkview knocked off Grayson (Loganville, Ga.) but after Grayson had dominated Miami Central (Fla.) in a highly-publicized Labor Day weekend clash. Coach Keith Maloof's squad then finished off its perfect season with a 21-14 win over Lovejoy (Ga.) in the AAAAAA state final. All-American running back Alvin Kamara shined all season for the Blue Devils with 2,226 yards rushing and 26 scores.
7. Hoover (Hoover, Ala.) 15-0
A 12th Class 6A state final appearance in the last 13 years resulted in the Bucs blanking Opelika (Ala.) 31-0. The win also gave the program nine state crowns during that time span as well. Recording only the second unbeaten season final win before a crowd estimated at 36,000 fans, Hoover was led by game MVP Calen Campbell, who rushed 30 times for 191 yards and three scores. In the regular season, the Bucs routed Mississippi Class 6A champion South Panola (Batesville, Miss.) 35-10.
8. DeSoto (DeSoto, Texas) 14-1
Junior quarterback Desmon White and senior running back Dontre Wilson led the Eagles to a sensational season. Although it ended in a loss to Top 50 No. 4 Allen (Texas) in the Class 5A Division I state semifinals, previous wins over Oklahoma state champ Jenks 52-21; Trinity (Euless, Texas) 42-21 (after Trinity went overtime on the road in a loss to Bellevue of Washington); Coppell (Texas) 42-14 and Southlake Carroll (Texas) 49-45 showed what the boys were capable of. White passed for 3,521 yards and 34 touchdowns with 1,335 yards and 12 TDs rushing. Wilson, who is headed to Oregon, rushed for 1,895 yards and scored 37 times.
9. North Allegheny (Wexford, Pa.) 16-0
The Tigers capped a dominant season by winning their second Class AAAA state title in three years with a record-scoring 63-28 finals' romp over Coatesville (Coatesville, Pa.). In three state playoff games, the Tigers outscored foes by 164-44. Senior quarterback Mack Leftwich passed for 199 yards in the final and had 3,331 season yards. Coach Art Walker also won his third state title, including a 2004 crown at Pittsburgh Central Catholic.
10. Skyline (Sammamish, Wash.) 14-0
They may have been ranked second in the state behind Bellevue (No. 4 above), but the Spartans clearly had one of the nation's top teams as well, led by arguably the nation's top quarterback. USC-bound QB Max Browne passed for 4,526 yards and 49 touchdowns, including 384 yards and four scores in a 49-24 triumph over Bellarmine Prep (Tacoma, Wash.) in the Class 4A state championship. Skyline won its fifth state title in six years and had a 34-point per game winning margin.
11. Miami Central (Miami, Fla.) 12-2
The Rockets blasted off for their second Class 6A state title in their third straight finals' appearance with a 37-14 romp of previously-unbeaten Gainesville (Gainesville, Fla.). Underclass-led Central was paced by junior running backs Joseph Yearby, a Florida State recruit, and Clemson commit Dalvin Cook. Yearby ran for 125 yards and two scores; Cook for 79 yards and two TDs. Central closed with nine straight wins after losing its first and third games to Grayson (Logansville, Ga.) and Manatee (Bradenton, Fla.) while handing state Class 4A champion B.T. Washington (Miami, Fla.) its only loss.
12. Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas, Nev.) 13-1
Starting the season with a nationally televised 27-22 win over No. 14 Good Counsel (Olney, Md.), the Gaels ended by cruising to their fourth straight state championship with a 62-10 romp past Liberty (Henderson, Nev.). Before rolling through in-state competition, four-year starting quarterback Anu Solomon led the team past past St. Louis (Honolulu, Hawaii) 52-40 and Servite (Anaheim, Calif.) 42-0 with a 42-35 loss to Bergen Catholic (Oradell, N.J.) sandwiched between those two wins.
13. Butler (Matthews, N.C.) 15-0
The Bulldogs captured their third Class 4AA state title in four years with a dominant perfect season and a 56-28 finals win over Jack Britt (Fayetteville, N.C.). Despite quarterback Riley Ferguson missing six regular season games with an injury, the Bulldogs were led by linebacker Peter Kalambayi, a Stanford recruit, and wide receiver Uriah LeMay, a Georgia commit, who scored 28 TDs — 12 receiving and 16 rushing.
14. Good Counsel (Olney, Md.) 11-1
The Falcons won their final 11 games and gained a fourth straight Washington Catholic Athletic Conference title with a repeat season victory over DeMatha (Hyattsville, Md.) 26-14. Wide receiver Kendall Fuller, the Offensive Player of the Year for the state who will follow three brothers to Virginia Tech, landed three TD passes in the finale. The season-opening loss was to Top 50 No. 12 Bishop Gorman (Las Vegas, Nev.) 27-22 before the team won over Top 50 No. 38 Gilman (Baltimore, Md.) 20-19.
15. St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) 13-2
It was an up and down start to the season for the Raiders, but at the end they were as strong as ever. Before defeating Lincoln (Tallahassee, Fla.) 41-25 in the Class 7A state final, they knocked off previously undefeated Manatee (Bradenton, Fla.) 35-18 in the semifinals for their best win of the season. Manatee was No. 1 in most national weekly rankings at the time of that win. This state championship is the seventh in school history, but the first for second-year head coach Rocco Casullo.
16. Ensworth (Nashville, Tenn.) 13-0
It takes a few connecting of the dots but it does make sense why the Tigers finish the season ranked so high. First, they were unbeaten and won the Division II-AA state title with a 31-14 win over University (Memphis, Tenn.). Second, University owns a win over Arkansas Class 7A champ Fayetteville. And third, perennial national power South Panola (Batesville, Miss.) has a loss to the team Fayetteville beat in its state final. Ensworth also was led by one of the top running backs in the nation, senior Cornelius Elder, who piled up 2,617 yards and scored 36 touchdowns.
17. Manatee (Bradenton, Fla.) 13-1
Seemingly on their way to a potential spot as the No. 1 team in the nation at the end of the year, the Hurricanes' season came to a surprising end in the Class 7A state semifinals with a 35-18 loss to No. 15 St. Thomas Aquinas (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.). Before league play began, the team's closest win of the season came against eventual Class 6A state champion Miami Central 44-34. The other 11 wins were all by at least 22 points. Senior quarterback Cord Sandberg passed for 2,674 yards and 34 touchdowns with just one interception on the year while also rushing for 611 yards and 10 touchdowns.
18. Lamar (Houston, Texas) 15-1
Not many before the season had the Redskins going far in the Class 5A Division I state playoffs, but they made it all the way to the final to play Top 50 No. 4 Allen (Texas) before 48,379 at Cowboys Stadium. Allen won 35-21, but Lamar hung tough behind junior quarterback Darrell Colbert, who passed for 207 yards and two touchdowns and rushed for another 126 yards and one score.
19. B.T. Washington (Miami, Fla.) 13-1
In a rematch of last year's Class 4A state championship game, the Tornadoes took on Bolles (Jacksonville, Fla.) and this time came out on top with a 35-7 victory. Junior quarterback Treon Harris passed for 245 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 74 yards and three scores. Their lone loss on the year was by 37-26 to eventual Class 6A state champion Miami Central before a season-ending 12-game winning streak began with a 40-21 win over Cedar Hill (Cedar Hill, Texas), the team that lost to No. 1 Katy in the Texas Class 5A Division II championship.
20. Moeller (Cincinnati, Ohio) 12-3
The Crusaders defeated teams from five states, including three state titlists, en route to their eighth Ohio Division I crown but first since 1985. Moeller, playing in its 12th title game, handed previously unbeaten Whitmer (Toledo, Ohio) a 20-12 setback. Quarterback Spencer Iacovone completed 15 of 19 passes for 161 yards. In the regular season, Moeller handed Kentucky champion Top 50 No. 21 Trinity (Louisville, Ky.) and Michigan titlist Grand Rapids Christian (Grant Rapids, Mich.) their only losses and also bested Indiana champion Cathedral (Indianapolis, Ind.) plus Top 50 No. 38 Gilman (Baltimore, Md.).
21. Trinity (Louisville, Ky.) 13-1
The Shamrocks captured their third straight state title, 10th in the last 12 years, and 22nd overall with a dominating 61-7 rout of previously unbeaten Pleasure Ridge Park (Louisville, Ky.) in the Class 6A finals. Trinity, which lost its only game to Ohio Division I champion Moeller (Cincinnati, Ohio), was led by wide receiver James Quick, quarterback Travis Wright and running back Dalyn Hawkins. Quick landed 85 passes for 1,413 yards and 18 TDs on the season and ended with a state-record 280 career receptions.
22. Glenbard West (Glen Ellyn, Ill.) 14-0
The Hilltoppers won their first state title since 1983 with a 10-8 victory over Lincoln-Way East (Frankfort, Ill.) in a battle of unbeatens at the Class 7A finals. Junior defensive back Hayden Carlson, with 14 tackles, led a defensive unit that had five sacks, a recovered fumble, and stopped two Lincoln-Way East fourth quarter drives. On offense, quarterback Henry Haeffner completed 10 of 13 passes for 145 yards and a score.
23. Karr (New Orleans, La.) 14-0
This team won a state championship but lost its coach. After the Cougars avenged a 2011 Class 4A title game loss to previously-unbeaten Neville (Monroe, La.) with a 29-22 win in this year's final, coach Jabbar Juluke opted to join the new staff at Louisiana Tech. It was Karr's second crown after winning Class 3A in 1993. Junior defensive lineman Gerald Willis was Class 4A Defensive Player of the Year for the state after recording 110 stops, including 24 for losses with 13 sacks.
24. Steele (Cibolo, Texas) 14-1
For most of the regular season, Texas fans were hoping for a 14-0 vs. 14-0 showdown between the Knights and Katy (Texas) in the Class 5A Division II state playoffs. They got it in the semifinals and although Katy won the Knights had their highlights in a 45-33 loss. The running game, with junior Justin Stockton leading the way, was the strength of the offense. Texas-bound Erik Huhn in the secondary was one of the standouts on defense.
25. University (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.) 12-0
Trailing 17-0 in the second quarter, the Suns scored the game's final 24 points to defeat Madison County (Madison, Fla.) 24-17 for their first Class 3A state championship in school history. On the year, they had wins over Ohio Division II state finalist Trotwood-Madison, Cocoa (Fla.) and in the quarterfinals they beat previously undefeated American Heritage (Delray Beach, Fla.) 34-17. Sophomore running back Jordan Scarlett rushed for a team-best 1,357 yards and 22 touchdowns and already has received recruiting interest from schools like Alabama and Ohio State.
26. Lawrence Central (Indianapolis, Ind.) 15-0
The Bears capped a perfect season with a dominant first Class 5A state championship game win over previously unbeaten Snider (Fort Wayne, Ind.) 39-14. Lawrence Central, which won the school's first state crown, was led by running back Isaiah Townsend with 193 rushing yards and two scores. Quarterback Drake Christen passed for 228 yards and one touchdown and rushed for 92 yards and a score.
27. Lake Taylor (Norfolk, Va.) 15-0
The Titans hoisted the school's first state crown, and first for a Norfolk public school since 1967, with a 20-14 finals' win over previously unbeaten Stone Bridge (Ashburn, Va.) in the Group AAA Division 5 finals. Versatile two-way back Brandon Moore, the Tidewater Area Player of the Year, ended the season with 2,322 all-purpose yards, including 1,829 by rushing.
28. Kahuku (Kahuku, Hawaii) 12-0
A 42-20 victory against Punahou (Honolulu, Hawaii) gave the Red Raiders their second straight state title and a dominating unbeaten season in a state that is generally underrated by most national rankings analysts. Aofaga Wily capped an outstanding prep career for Kahuku with 188 yards rushing and three touchdowns.
29. Whitmer (Toledo, Ohio) 14-1
Quarterback Nick Holley completed 12 of 20 passes for 196 yards and rushed 23 times for 92 yards to lead the Panthers in their 20-12 loss to Top 50 No. 20 Moeller (Cincinnati) in the Division I state final. Twin brother Nate Holley landed eight passes for 135 yards. Whitmer outscored foes 627-173 on the season, including a 19-7 win over Michigan Division 1 runner-up Detroit Catholic Central (Novi, Mich.). The team's 62-34 playoff win against Mentor (Ohio) also stood out.
30. Centennial (Corona, Calif.) 14-2
Although the Huskies lost in the CIF Open Division state bowl game 49-28 to No. 3 De La Salle and dropped their opener 40-35 to St. Bonaventure (Ventura, Calif.), they earn a national ranking for beating 12-0, 13-0 and 14-0 opponents in consecutive weeks during the postseason. Centennial's wins over Vista Murrieta (which was 13-0) and Narbonne of Harbor City (which was 14-0) also came against teams that were at least as high as No. 15 in the nation. Junior quarterback Robert Webber will be back next year after passing for 3,968 yards and 41 touchdowns and rushing for another 700 yards and eight scores.
31. Narbonne (Harbor City, Calif.) 14-1
A 56-0 romp past perennial power Long Beach Poly (Long Beach, Calif.), which would eventually win the CIF Southern Section Pac-Five Division title, catapulted the Gauchos up the national rankings early in the season. They stayed there until a last-second 41-35 upset loss to Centennial (Corona, Calif.) in the CIF Open Division Southern California regional bowl game. Washington-bound Troy Williams had a great season with 3,614 yards passing and 37 scores. Williams also rushed for 692 yards and 12 TDs.
32. Coppell (Coppell, Texas) 11-1
Although the Cowboys lost in the second round of the Class 5A Division I state playoffs 42-14, that loss was to No. 8 DeSoto (Texas). Coppell's high final national ranking is mainly due to a 27-24 regular season triumph against No. 5 Allen (Texas), which was that team's only loss. Head coach Joe McBride was honored after the season with the very first Tom Landry Coach of the Year award and in his four years at the school he has gone 41-8.
33. Mt. Carmel (Chicago, Ill.) 13-1
The Caravan pocketed their 11th state title, and first since 2002, with a 28-14 win over Glenbard North (Carol Stream, Ill.) in the Class 8A finals. Don Butkus, who left the semifinal victory over Neuqua Valley (Naperville, Ill.) with a sprained ankle and on crutches, rushed and passed for a score. Draco Smith carried seven times for 129 yards and two touchdowns. Caravan coach Frank Lenti also improved his 29-year record to 326-89 with his 10th crown.
34. Vista Murrieta (Murrieta, Calif.) 13-1
After going 14-0 on-the-field last season with a CIF Southern Section Inland Division title, the Broncos were denied a repeat – as well as a possible run at De La Salle for the CIF Open Division state crown – due to a 30-28 loss to No. 30 Centennial (Corona, Calif.). USC-bound Su'a Cravens led the team in touchdown catches and interceptions and was second on the team in tackles. Quarterback Nick Stevens passed for 2,316 yards and 24 touchdowns.
35. Lovejoy (Lovejoy, Ga.) 13-2
Finishing as the No. 2 team in the state, the Wildcats gave No. 6 Norcross (Georgia) its closest game of the season with a 14-3 lead before losing to the Blue Devils 21-14 in the Class 6A state championship game. Prior to the final, Lovejoy advanced with wins over North Gwinnett (Suwanee, Ga.) and North Cobb (Kennesaw, Ga.). Both of those teams had 11 wins on the season.
36. Archbishop Rummel (Metairie, La.) 14-0
The Raiders celebrated their first state championship by defeating Barbe (Lake Charles, La.) 35-14 in the Class 5A finals played before 32,740 fans at the Superdome. Rummel was led by quarterback Damian Williams, who had 243 total offense yards and two scores, and junior tailback Keith Fulton, who rushed for 132 yards and three scores — all in the fourth quarter. The defense was anchored by linebacker Terrance Jones.
37. Cass Tech (Detroit, Mich.) 12-2
For the second straight year, the Technicians bested Detroit Catholic Central in the Division 1 state final. This time the score was 36-21. Two sophomores led the offense — quarterback Jayru Campbell passed for 154 yards and rushed for a touchdown and running back Mike Weber ran for 186 yards on 20 carries. Tech also defeated Division 2 state champion Brother Rice (Bloomfield Hills, Mich.) 25-18 in the season opener.
38. Gilman (Baltimore, Md.) 9-2
The Greyhounds won their final nine games after opening with losses to Ohio Division 1 champion and Top 50 No. 20 Moeller (Cincinnati, Ohio) and Top 50 No. 14 Good Counsel (Olney, Md.). One of those wins also was against defending national champion Don Bosco Prep (Ramsey, N.J.). Gilman captured the MIAA Class A title with a 35-7 romp over Calvert Hall (Baltimore, Md.). Gilman was led on defense by lineman Henry Poggi, a Michigan commit, who had 87 tackles, including 31 for losses with 16.5 sacks.
39. Serra (Gardena, Calif.) 14-2
Forget the two losses because one was to No. 32 Narbonne (Harbor City, Calif.) and the other one to Chaminade (West Hills, Calif.) was later avenged. Serra won the CIF Division II state bowl game 42-15 over Oakdale (Calif.) and also notched a regular-season triumph over CIF Southern Section Pac-Five Division champ Long Beach Poly (Long Beach, Calif.). This also is a team loaded with big-time underclass talent, including junior receiver/defensive back Adore'e Jackson, junior quarterback Jalen Greene, junior linebacker Dwight Williams, sophomore running back Malik Roberson and sophomore linebacker John Houston.
40. Southlake Carroll (Southlake, Texas) 12-2
Coach Hal Wasson's Dragons didn't start or end the season the way they would have liked but between those losses they were undefeated in 5A Region I District IV league play and win 12 games on the year before their season ended with a 49-45 loss to DeSoto in the Class 5A Division I quarterfinals. Carroll opened the season with a 24-0 road loss against Allen (Texas), which would go on to win the Class 5A Division I state championship. The Dragons' best win of the season also was their last as they defeated No. 45 Trinity (Euless, Texas) 16-7 in the playoffs, which was followed by a 49-45 loss to No. 8 DeSoto. Senior quarterback Kenny Hill had an impressive season with 3,373 yards passing and 27 touchdowns plus 1,430 yards rushing and 33 touchdowns.
41. Greenwood (Greenwood, S.C.) 15-0
After two straight losses in the Class AAAA Division II state title game, the Eagles took the brass ring with a 31-24 overtime win over Northwestern (Rock Hill, S.C.) to cap the school's first perfect season since 1955. Quarterback Evin Sims and Octavious Morgan scored two touchdowns each with Morgan getting the game-winner in overtime.
42. Cathedral Prep (Erie, Pa.) 15-0
The Ramblers dethroned defending Class AAA state champion Archbishop Wood (Warminster, Pa.) in this year's finals with a 24-14 triumph. Quarterback Damion Perry led the way with three touchdowns — two passing and one running. Prep outscored 15 foes from three states by 701-152. In the semifinals, the Ramblers routed perennial power Bishop McDevitt (Harrisburg, Pa.) 38-3.
43. Arrowhead (Hartland, Wis.) 13-0
The dominant Warhawks captured their first Division 1 state title since 2007 with a 35-14 finals romp over Sun Prairie (Wis.). Arrowhead led 35-0 at halftime and played most of the second half with a running clock. Quarterback Brady Kelliher passed for 222 yards and three scores and ran for a touchdown.
44. South Panola (Batesville, Miss.) 13-2
Led by a pair of underclassmen on offense, the Tigers earned their 10th state championship in school history and their eighth since 2003 as they defeated Brandon (Miss.) 31-23 in the Class 6A state finals. Sophomore running back Darrell Henderson ran for 214 yards and two touchdowns while junior signal caller Rip Kirk passed for 202 yards and two scores. Both losses came to teams outside the state – Alabama Class 6A state champ Hoover and Arkansas Class 7A finalist Bentonville.
45. Trinity (Euless, Texas) 10-3
The Trojans' had three losses but all were to higher-ranked teams and one was in overtime to Top 50 No. 5 Bellevue (Wash.) on the road. The other two were to No. 8 De Soto (Texas) and No. 40 Southlake Carroll (Texas). Significant wins came against defending Class 6A Oklahoma state champ Union (Tulsa) and Mansfield (Texas), which was good enough to have a win against Class 5A Division II state runner-up Cedar Hill (Texas).
46. Jenks (Jenks, Okla.) 12-2
Trey'Vonne Barrie buried Norman North (Okla.) with 22 carries for 290 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Trojans to a 55-20 win in the Class 6A state championship. Jenks beat arch-rival Union (Tulsa, Okla.) in the semifinals 41-10 to avenge an earlier loss. The team's only other loss was to Top 50 No. 8 De Soto (Texas). Jenks and Union have combined to win the last 17 Class 6A state titles.
47. Lincoln-Way East (Frankfort, Ill.) 13-1
The Griffins finished as Class 7A state runner-up while bowing to Top 50 No. 22 Glenbard West (Glen Ellyn, Ill.) 10-8 in a clash of unbeatens. East's touchdown came on a 35-yard run by Justin Corbett, who ended with 82 yards on 15 carries. The Griffins' defense was led by Kyle Langenderfer with 11 tackles, including two stops for losses.
48. Kirkwood (Kirkwood, Mo.) 13-0
It was a season that will go down in the history books as the Pioneers finally captured their first state championship in school history with a 31-7 win over Fort Osage (Independence, Mo.). The margin of victory in the Class 5 state game plus comparative scores also gives Kirkwood the edge over Class 6 state champ Blue Springs (13-1) for No. 1 in Missouri overall. Jordan Bishop finished with 1,972 yards and 29 touchdowns passing while rushing for 644 yards and eight scores.
49. Sheldon (Eugene, Ore.) 14-0
For the fourth time in school history, the Irish ended the season as state champions as they defeated Lake Oswego (Ore.) 13-6 in a Class 6A state final that matched two 13-0 opponents. The win also avenged a loss in the state final last season to the Lakers. Senior Dillon Miller passed for 3,360 yards and 36 touchdowns with junior Connor Strahm his leading target with 82 catches for 1,367 yards and 17 scores.
50. Mesquite (Mesquite, Texas) 11-1
With senior quarterback Alex Cooper passing for 3,055 yards and 26 touchdowns, the Skeeters dropped their only game of the season in the Class 5A Division I state playoffs to No. 4 Allen 42-28. They also rank high for getting a regular season win over Bowie (Arlington, Texas), which posted a regular-season win over preseason state favorite Skyline (Dallas, Texas).

Beware of unsustainable success
Growth isn't always great, says Neil Glentworth of Brisbane based information management firm, Glentworth.
In Queensland, our mining sector is used as a light on the hill for the rest of the economy because of record levels of growth.
So far, the $1.126 billion invested in resource exploration last financial year represents a 23 per cent leap from the previous year. One may even go so far to say it's dragging the rest of the state kicking and screaming into a new mining boom.
This is always good on the surface, with the mining companies pulling in further investment and boosting business confidence.
It gives flow on benefits, especially for professional service firms who rely on the burgeoning industry as their bread and butter.
It's also a monumental shift for the labour force, pushing the centre of gravity and pulling people from all sectors into a promising career in resources.
Growth, without the right management and planning approaches can be unsustainable and result in loss of investment, staff and ultimately reputation.
The car analogy is a useful reminder that the resources sector needs to visualise when they see their forward growth forecasts.
This means corporate strategy, human resources, finance and communications are having difficulty keeping pace with the rest of the organisation down-stream.

Based on the success of their HyperLight line, SD moves to hybrid tents with an easier to pitch external frame and dual vestibules and doors. The Bakus come in solo, two and three person versions. They are intended to compliment the Hyperlight and Lightening series and round out what SD calls their "ultralight offering."
The Sierra Designs Baku 2 is a hybrid single wall/double wall construction. It has two doors and two vestibules. The fixed vestibules cover mesh stash doors, while the ends of the tent body are single-walled siliconized 40 denier nylon, allowing users to pitch the tent as one piece for faster setup, quieter living and weatherproof construction.

Like so many people in Springs, N.Y. (the most famous past resident being Jackson Pollock), Margaret Kerr is an artist. Originally a painter, she crossed over to brick as a medium after designing and building her garden in the 1980s. Its most unique element are the brick 'prayer rugs,' inspired by Middle Eastern tribal carpets, that dot the two-acre property (Marggy's daughter got married on one). Some indicate areas for contemplation; others form decorative paths or patios.
Near the house, in a fenced courtyard with a lily pool and espaliered pear trees, a perennial garden focuses on plants that grew in medieval times. Beyond, mown paths lead through meadows to Accabonac Harbor.
You can visit Marggy's garden and studio on Saturday, June 26, as part of the Garden Conservancy's Open Days program.

|Quality of life of patients following stages III-IV vestibular schwannoma surgery using the retrosigmoid and translabyrinthine approaches.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20185256 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: Surgery is an unquestionable treatment for stages III and IV vestibular schwannomas. The postoperative quality of life (QOL) remains the main issue of concern. In this study, we have evaluated the postoperative QOL of these patients operated by two surgical approaches, the retrosigmoid approach (RSA) and the translabyrinthine approach (TLA). MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a retrospective review of 101 stages III and IV vestibular schwannoma cases operated between 2000 and 2006 at our center by the senior author (J.M.). The Short Form SF-36 questionnaire and additional questions were sent to the patients. Comparison was made between the patient group and a control group to evaluate the postoperative QOL. RESULTS: The response rate was 67.3%. There were 44 males and 57 females. The average follow up was 5.9 years. 59 patients were operated using the TLA and 42 using the RSA. Both patient groups had significantly lower scores on the questionnaire when compared to the normal population, and thus a less satisfactory QOL. Pain was the symptom that correlated most with poorer scores on the SF-36 questionnaire, although it was the least frequent symptom reported by the patients. Unsteadiness and facial weakness were the least bothersome complaints. Facial weakness did not correlate with a poorer QOL. CONCLUSION: Operated stages III-IV vestibular schwannoma patients suffer from a certain degree of QOL deterioration compared to normal controls. Hearing deficit was the most prevalent symptom. Pain was the least frequent but the most bothersome and with the highest correlation with a poorer QOL. Interestingly, unsteadiness and facial weakness were the least bothersome complaints. Facial weakness did not correlate with a poorer QOL.

A modern dictionary of Catholic terms, both common and obscure. Find accurate definitions of words and phrases.
Widespread division in Catholic unity caused by rival claims to the Papacy. In the Western Schism (1378-1417) there were two and later three claimants to the Papacy at the same time. The election of Urban VI (1318-89) was challenged post factum by thirteen of his cardinal electors, who in 1378 chose Clement VII as Avignon Pope in his stead. After thirty years of fruitless efforts to settle the rift, a council of prelates at Pisa in 1409 sought to depose the Roman and Avignon pontiffs and elected Alexander V. Finally the schism was healed at the Council of Constance (1414-18). Gregory XII, the Roman Pope, resigned; the antipopes Benedict XII of Avignon and John XXIII of Pisa were deposed, and Martin V (1368-1431) was chosen to replace them.

Lots of goodies for your pantry.Posted on 02 / 12 / 2014
I don't live in Bangkok, so can't really compare them to other health food stores in the area, but Radiance does have a pretty good selection, especially considering how tiny their store is. Loads of varieties of dried beans and lentils, nuts, nut butters, seeds of all types, nutritional yeast, supplements, teas, brown and mixed-grain rice, toiletries and hygiene products, and a small selection of fresh, local, organic veggies.
The prices are about as expensive as you would expect for imported and organic things. The peanut butter is a great dealt though!
Oh, and the owner speaks good English and can probably help you find anything else you need.
Note on the location: Radiance is located directly on Soi 22, just about one kilometer south of Sukhumvit. You do NOT
need to go down the Nam Thip Alley 2. It'll be on the right side of Soi 22 if you're headed southwards, just after a couple of schools.
Cons: Not much fresh stuff

The Last Laugh
1924. Germany. F. W. Murnau. Approx. 80 min.
Musical accompaniment by Ben Model
Wednesday, February 10, 2010, 1:30 p.m.
Theater 3 (The Celeste Bartos Theater), mezzanine, The Lewis B. and Dorothy Cullman Education and Research Building
The Last Laugh
1924. Germany. Directed by F. W. Murnau. Written by Carl Mayer. Photographed by Karl Freund. With Emil Jannings, Maly Delschaft, Max Hiller. Murnau (1888–1931), the greatest of the German giants of the Expressionist period, is among the most important and influential filmmakers who ever lived. His style, which incorporated use of a moving camera, angled shots, and the creative use of light and shadow, was the antithesis of the montage technique shortly to be developed by Sergei Eisenstein and other Soviet directors. The Last Laugh features a brilliantly restrained performance from acting titan Jannings (1884–1950) in his role as a proudly uniformed doorman who is demoted to men's room attendant. Silent, with no intertitles. Approx. 80 min.

Hemmings Find of the Day – 1978 Buick Riviera
If you have not noticed, there's a pretty big following for Buick's Riviera outside of the striking 1963-'65 models, including this two-tone, Limited Edition '78. The body style seen here was only used two years (going back to 1977) prior to the downsized 1979-'85 editions. There's plenty we could mention about the Riv that's been printed in several Buick books, but it's the price that's more interesting: $3,275 or best offer. Some kind of deal, right? From the seller's description:
1978 Buick Riviera LXXV Limited Edition. Runs/drives fine. Air conditioning and all power accessories work fine. Interior in very good condition. A survivor, 82K, the paint showing age. A very little, repairable rust.
Heck, you couldn't find a decent, used Toyota for that price. Or did we speak to soon? Anyway, see more Rivieras for sale on Hemmings.com.

A 1977 Riv was my grandfather's last car – he got to use it for only a year. I think he liked it considerably more than the real dog it replaced, a '74 Electra 4-door hardtop with the pre-catalyst smog controls and ugly plastic rear bumper corner extensions. (The two that preceded the '74 were much nicer: a '71 Electra coupe and a '66 Riviera. All four with vinyl roofs, of course.)
Man, there it is. Right there. The downfall of GM. A Buick Riviera that was no more than a fancy trim package appended to an ordinary LeSabre. At a Riviera price. Small wonder the buying public ceased taking GM seriously.
I disagree with gottacook. I used to own a 1975 Electra 4dr hardtop. Best car I ever had. I'd take it over this over-priced Caprice anytime.
I've owned two 1978 riviera LXXV's. since 78. drove the first one 300,ooo miles. currently driving the second one I bought 22 years ago. The LXXV was last year of rear wheel drive, came with a 403 cu. in. engine. both of them never had or have a squeak or rattle! I agree, the 70's cars were mostly junk. buick went way above with the 75th anniversary RIVIERA….
I'm planning to buy a 1978 Riviera LXXXV with a 350 engine here in Norway, but I don't know anything about the car except the good looks. Do you have any good advise or tips concerning the car? – typical errors or faults on this model? What shall I look for inspecting the car? Here is the car:
@AMcA yes the 77 – 78 rivs were a version of the 77-79 lesabre b- body coupes which are very nice beautiful well handling cars and i have owned many of these cars and i think they and oldsmobile dela 88s of the same vintage are one of the last great designs by gm of the time and they are highly underated
Give me a call and I buy it no yokes 646 729 8533

Good News, 'Primeval' Fans: the Show is Coming Back
by Bob Sassone, posted Mar 15th 2010 1:02PM
It's good to report some TV news involving a canceled show that's actually good. Last June we gave you the news that 'Primeval,' the show where a team of scientists battles monsters coming through some sort of portal, wasn't going to be renewed for another season. Well, forget about all that because the show is coming back in 2011.
The web site for the show says that the show will be able to come back for 13 new episodes next year because of a "unique international collaboration." Which I'm guessing means that various companies from various countries are putting some money behind the series.
I like how the official site not only says that the show is coming back but that they're still going to have great special effects. So the monsters won't be hand puppets or people in suits a la Godzilla.
