Small Farms, Big Challenges
Amy Dowd Bartholomew '88 does not believe in keeping her patients at arm's length, so right now her glove-covered arm is all the way inside a cow's back end feeling for signs of pregnancy. She wears knee-high rubber boots and, depending on the weather, up to seven layers of clothing, including a set of green coveralls.
Bartholomew is a large-animal veterinarian in Franklin County, Vermont, the heart of the state's dairy industry, and hers might appear to be a career marked by contradiction.
Veterinarian Amy Dowd Bartholomew '88 has the attention of dairy cows during a typical workday in northern Vermont.
For one, she makes her living from a struggling regional industry. For decades, the number of dairy farms in the Northeast and upper Midwest, especially small operations, has dwindled. "Small Vermont dairy farms are a dying breed," Bartholomew said. "It is so bad here."
Yet, vets who focus on dairy and food animals remain very busy. The U.S. dairy industry isn't disappearing, merely trending toward fewer, larger farms with hundreds of cows. But despite high demand, fewer new vets are choosing to focus on large-animal work, according to a New York Times report last year, instead opting for more profitable (and easier) small-animal work.
It's no wonder. For a large-animal vet, the hours are long and the conditions can be miserable — 24-hour emergencies happen whether it's 30 degrees below zero or so warm you can choke on flies — and you never know when you might get run over by an angry cow.
Bartholomew reviews medications with farmer Daniel Lussier at his farm in Sheldon, Vt.
One of Bartholomew's peers, large-animal vet Nate Harvey '99, understands the pressures — and the rewards — that keep Bartholomew on the road. When Harvey was growing up in West Newfield, Maine, he loved to visit his grandfather's dairy farm in Epping, N.H. "I always knew, since I was a little kid tugging on the pants of the vet, that I wanted to be a vet and work with cows," Harvey said.
He earned his veterinary degree from the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine (as did Bartholomew) and now works in the field for the school's New Bolton Center, which comprises a large-animal hospital — where the ill-fated racehorse Barbaro was treated — plus a dairy, an aquatic animal lab, and diagnostic labs. Harvey roams the Pennsylvania countryside, working with the cows he loves and teaching vet students and younger vets.
Someday, he says, he hopes to join a dairy practice somewhere between Pennsylvania and Maine. "I like working with live animals," Harvey said. "I love it when my office is a series of rolling green hills. I like the adventure of getting out there."
But every year he gets job offers that promise other rewards. A job with the Food Safety and Inspection Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, for example, would include a good salary, daytime hours, and good working conditions.
"You get every single holiday off," he mused. "Private practitioners are lucky to get Christmas Day off."
Bartholomew checks in with her office with at Lussier's farm.
During Amy Bartholomew's days on the road, agricultural economics is a distant second to the day-to-day needs of farmers, whether it's doing pregnancy checks or treating sick animals.
Amy and veterinarian husband Rick opened Cold Hollow Veterinary Services, which also employs two other vets, almost seven years ago in Enosburg Falls, a town of about 1,500 in northwestern Vermont, just south of the Canadian border. The Bartholomews work exclusively with large animals: 70 percent dairy, 25 percent horses, and animals like llamas, alpacas, goats, and sheep.
Bartholomew is a native of Woodstock, Vt., and a child of musicians. She was drawn to becoming a vet, at least in part, by All Creatures Great and Small author James Herriot, the veterinarian whose heartwarming autobiographical stories of life in rural England also explained various veterinary procedures in great detail.
"I was 13, reading all these books. I said, 'Wow, what a cool job,'" she said. She then started riding around with a vet in her area.
She was drawn to Bates by how warmly she was received while visiting the campus on a college swing through Maine. But her career goal left some College officials stumped. "They said they could get me into medical school but didn't know anything about vet school," she recalls.
That all changed in the mid-1990s, when, under its new chair, Associate Professor of Biology Lee Abrahamsen, the faculty's Medical Studies Committee broadened its focus beyond just medical school. "It was very important to me that we expand the charge of the committee beyond just letter-writing and beyond just pre-meds," Abrahamsen said. "We began to think about including all health-related fields."
Today, some 150 Bates students seek the committee's support each year, and about 50 students and alumni apply to health-related programs annually — most to medical school and the balance to veterinarian, dental, and physicians' assistant or nursing programs. On average, 90 percent of those who apply are accepted.
When Bartholomew arrived at vet school, she found herself better prepared than some agriculture school graduates. "I had to work pretty hard at Bates," she said. "I was accustomed to hard work."
Green Mountain Farm herd manager Randy Collins (right) and Bartholomew maneuver a sick cow into position to be sedated and restrained for surgery.
That work ethic has stuck with her. She splits her time between the cows of Franklin County and helping raise her three elementary school-age kids. On an early April morning that more resembled November, Bartholomew checked 18 cows at the Green Mountain Dairy Farm in Highgate to see if they were pregnant — critical to the fortunes of a dairy farm that succeeds by keeping its cows pregnant and, after they give birth, producing milk.
Bartholomew grabs a handful of runny manure — "poor man's lubricant," she calls it — and reaches into a cow's large intestine up to her shoulder, her arm covered by a clear plastic glove held in place by forceps. She feels for the uterus, and what she feels will tell her how advanced the pregnancy is. Any cows not pregnant must be rebred as soon as possible.
After spending the morning at Green Mountain, Bartholomew does an unofficial consultation in a convenience store parking lot with a client who is hoping goats can provide the income his cows don't.
She watches as the farmers struggle to survive. "They are so far in debt," she said. When a farmer sells out, creditors like Cold Hollow Veterinary Services "get a percentage of nothing."
She eats as she drives her pickup truck with one hand and consults with the office on her cell phone. After lunch she spends an hour or so pregnancy-checking three alpacas for a family that raises the animals, native to South America's Andes Mountains, for their wool.
Bartholomew loves treating cows and working with the farmers, and the work is plentiful. But alpaca owners and other non-dairy clients, often hobbyists with solid financial means, keep the income stream steady, especially during the winter months, which are tough on dairy farmers.
Knowing their future in dairy could go bad, the Bartholomews are considering opening a traditional small-animal veterinary practice, where dog and cat owners pay as they go. But if they can, they want to stay with the large animals. Working with farmers whose lives depend on the animals she cares for is more than just a job, Bartholomew believes.
"You become involved with their business and with their lives," she said. "These people become your family members."

ALTHOUGH THEY WEKE CLEARLY rising stars in their respective parties, Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich had little direct contact before 1992. They met casually at public events in the 1980s when Clinton was in Washington lobbying on behalf of the nation's governors, but for the most part they observed each other from a distance. "We had a distant awareness of each other," recalled Gingrich, who remembered a brief encounter with Clinton during a national governor's convention in 1988.1 The first official meeting between the two men took place on January 26, 1993, shortly after Clinton assumed office, when Gingrich attended a congressional leadership meeting at the White House.
The Clinton presidency was already off to a rough start. The press praised Clinton for his touching and uncharacteristically brief (fourteen minute) inaugural address. "Let us give this capital back to the people to whom it belongs," Clinton said, reinforcing the populist theme of the campaign. Within days of taking the oath of office, however, the president found his new administration engulfed in controversy. Clinton had promised during the campaign to focus "like a laser beam" on the economy, but he created a political firestorm during his first week in office by proposing to lift the longstanding ban on homosexuals in the military. He also blurred his "New Democrat" message with a fruitless search for a cabinet that "looked like America." According to two observers, his efforts to find a female attorney general looked like "an auction between left-wing interest groups," and produced a public relations fiasco when he was forced to withdraw his first choice, Zoe Baird, after it was revealed that she had hired an illegal immigrant to work as a nanny.2 Congressional Democrats were publicly fretting about

Eh just to travel around a college I wouldnt ride the 20, i wouldnt trust locking it up somewhere. Plus roadbikes will definitely get u around campus quicker, especially since alot of campuses are...
If i can get a new eastern element for $325 should i do it?
fit has a hi tensile frame, not sure if he will be doing anything that will bend it easily, but it will fail quicker than chromoly if the bike is being ridden hard, and yeah the brakeless thing...
dk 6pack is a good choice imo, may be a little heavy for him at 30lbs, but he will grow into it and he wouldnt need to replace that bike or the parts for awhile i think, until he gets into harder...
theres plenty of nice spots to hit, but getting there is a *****, i live right on the beach and i am surrounded by hills, so getting anywhere i either have to bus or ride up big ass hills

Triangle Pattern
- Triangle Chart Pattern
- Ascending and Descending Triangle Continuation Patterns
For a more detailed description of the triangle chart pattern in a video format, see Symmetrical, Ascending, & Descending Triangle Chart Pattern Video. The Triangle is a continuation pattern using the concepts of support and resistance and price breakouts.
The chart below of Amazon.com (AMZN) shows the Triangle continuation pattern:
Generally, when prices make significant moves, they go through a period of resting. Usually with a Triangle pattern, the price consolidation period consists of higher lows and lower lows, forming the shape of a "triangle". When the resistance and support lines (see: Support & Resistance) begin converging, price will usually burst out of the consolidation area and resume trending in the direction that prices have been moving previously.
Triangle Breakout Buy Signal
The signal to buy is given when the resistance line is penetrated to the upside. The signal is generally stronger if prices have been in an uptrend prior to the upside breakout.
Triangle Breakout Sell Signal
A sell signal occurs when the support line is penetrated to the downside. Usually the sell signal is considered stronger if prices have been in a downtrend prior to the downside breakout.
Two other closely related variants of the Triangle pattern are the Ascending and Descending Triangle pattern; these two patterns are shown on the next page.

Issaquah residents: Ready, set, speak!
April 15, 2014
I hope you have opinions, citizens of Issaquah, because they could really come in handy.
The next few months seem yet again chock full of important decisions that the City Council will make. I have heard and reported repeatedly that they want public input on all matters that will impact the future of Issaquah. So, this is another message to encourage you to take them up on that.
Let's think about what's to come over the next several months. And, keep in mind, this is your government and you should you tell it what you think.
While the City Council extended the marijuana moratorium, it expects the ban to lift in July. As the council continues to look at how a recreational marijuana business should operate in Issaquah, let it know how you feel.
Two public input meetings left the Park Board with a recommendation to build a new skate park in the Tibbetts Valley Park, across from the park & ride. How does that strike you?
Floodwater details presented in Seventh and Gilman redevelopment
April 8, 2014
After two public meetings, the Seventh and Gilman redevelopment continues through the city's application stages and might go beyond expectations.
Lennar Multifamily Investors again presented plans to the Rivers and Streams Board on March 18 regarding how its planned residential redevelopment would handle floodwater. The corner of Seventh Avenue Northwest and Northwest Gilman Boulevard, now called Cadence by the potential developers, has a long history of suffering from flooding events and Lennar Multifamily Investors Development Director Tom Bartholomew knows it.
"Issaquah is unique in terms of flooding," Bartholomew said after the meetings. "It's an issue and I understand the sensitivity. I understand the visceral reactions to the meetings."

May I know how can I visit a wooden shoe factory in Amsterdam? i.e. where and how to go? And is there only one wooden shoe factory in Amsterdam, or there are few of them!
Hi there,
www.zaanseschans.nl has probably the most popular (demo) clog factory.
All the best,
<Erik> & [Sandya]
And just to add on, there are not any clog factories in Amsterdam.
And don't expect to see anyone actually wearing clogs in Amsterdam either ;-). The one at Zaanse Schaans is not so much of a factory as one guy making them to demonstrate to tourist. Interesting though as is the rest of the place.
And to add even more:
- you can buy ready-made wooden shoes all over Amsterdam and at the airport but I guess seeing how they are made is nice, at Zaanse Schans
- another place that has a clog maker is Marken iamsterdam.com/nl-NL/…20Marken
Marken is a picturesque fisherman's town with wooden houses and a cute little harbor that can be reached by bike (about 1.5 - 2 hours beautiful ride) or bus (50 minutes)
-I'd be surprised if touristy fisherman's town Volendam didn't have one too. And you can have your picture taken dressed in old costume.
- if you're into historical artesany like that you will also enjoy the open air Zuiderzee Museum in Enkhuizen, 1 hour by train, where you can see sailmakers, ropemakers and boat makers at work, and they just have a whole historical village 'functioning'
www.9292.nl/en is a door-to-door public transport planner and will tell you how to get to all those places.
Have fun!
china probably has a clog making factory.
They often have a clog maker at the cheese market in Alkmaar on Friday. Maybe combine the two?
I am going to date myself some here but I can remember going to visit my wife's uncles who were potato farmers in Friesland. If it was wet, they would wear wooden shoes out in the fields so as not to mess up their leather shoes.
Thank you so much for all the reply!
I went to Netherlands for holiday 20years ago in a tour, and we went to see the wooden shoes/clog, and the ladies there were wearing traditional costume! I remember I saw a very very big clog! About 30years ago people in my country still wearing those red color clog, but not anymore! I don't need to go to a factory(I wrote 'factory' because I thought the place I went before is a factory!), only want to show my family the place!
Zaanse Schans has these very big wooden shoes: cile.home.xs4all.nl/travel/images/klompen.jpg
And from what I remember they had an even bigger one too, size of a small boat.
Windmills all around and a small old-fashioned grocery store and cheese shop.
And probably people in costume too. You will see people in old costumes in Volendam as well.
A very very big clog ... like this? chybeelila.com/wp-content/…DSC_0105.jpg
I have seen railway maintenance workers wear some, in the countryside. Also seen women in traditional costumes wearing them, on a bike, to go home after going to the weekly market (Middelburg).
Once this biggest wooden shoe of the world has been stolen but I think it is back, isn´t it?
(Sorry, I didn´t found an english article)

Outpost's general manager Pam Mehnert start's a year long foodie adventure.
For me, November begins the season of cooking and the celebration of comfort foods. The smell of warm, freshly baked bread, or a pot of chili simmering on the stove, bring back strong childhood memories of comfort for me. I learned to cook from my Mom, who sent me off to college with a hand-written notebook filled with all the recipes I enjoyed at our family table. I still have the notebook, and some thirty plus years later, I'm still cooking some of the same recipes – many of them now with my own twist on flavor.
Because I grew up in a household that loved to cook (and no surprise – loved to eat), I'm caught off guard when I talk to people who can't identify with my experience. They either don't know how to cook, don't want to learn to cook, or are just happy with their frozen dinners, canned soup, or carry-out foods of convenience. Heck, I understand being a victim of convenience with my own hours of work and personal schedule. But to not want to cook or know how to cook, what's that all about?
This summer while on vacation, I picked up the book "Julie and Julia" by Julie Powell, a story about a New York City woman who decided to cook her way through the 524 recipes of Julia Child's first cookbook, "Mastering The Art of French Cooking" over the span of one year. I thought about watching Julia Child on tv with my Mom back in the 1970's, and sampling the many recipes she tried to cook from that book. I thought about what a challenge that would be to commit to cooking every recipe and writing about the experience. Now I know I have no interest whatsoever in the regiment of going through any cookbook recipe by recipe for any reason. But I must say I was intrigued by the concept of what one might learn by doing so.

Campaign for Grade-Level Reading
In the fall of 2014, Grinnell College became involved with the Grinnell Campaign for Grade-Level Reading (GLR) initiative along wtih other Grinnell stakeholders. Most recently, Grinnell College was the lead applicant and recipient of a grant from the Iowa Commission on Volunteer Service to coordinate and hire a team of 14 AmeriCorps members to work in organizations throughout the community in order to advance the early literacy project in Grinnell.
Grinnell AmeriCorps Partnership
What is the Grinnell AmeriCorps Partnership?
Launched with a 2015-16 AmeriCorps grant through the Iowa Commission on Volunteer Service, the Grinnell AmeriCorps Partnership is a program operated by Grinnell College's office of Community Enhancement and Engagement to support education priorities in the broader Grinnell community.
What are the Grinnell AmeriCorps Partnership goals?
The Grinnell AmeriCorps Partnership addresses three specific Grinnell-area education priorities:
- The Campaign for Grade Level Reading (to get all of Grinnell's kids reading at grade level by third grade);
- The Skills Gap Initiative (to ensure graduates have the skills they need for the workforce); and
- Provide added capacity for After School Enrichment in Grinnell's after-school programs. By recruiting a team of 14 AmeriCorps members to serve in local host sites, the partnership will enable a network of community organizations to work together more effectively to advance these goals. Grinnell AmeriCorps Partnership Org Chart
Iowa Reinvestment Act Application
In 2013, the Iowa legislature created a special tax incentive program to spur economic development in Iowa communities. Grinnell submitted an application to this program with the goal of leveraging our local investments with additional state funds. Grinnell College and the City of Grinnell have a history of collaborative community investments which reflect a shared understanding that the prospects for our futures are deeply intertwined. This application, involving over $127 million in shared investments, reflects that unique partnership and dedication to working together to ensure that Grinnell remains a thriving and active community for years to come.

Are you f***ng kidding me?? **added question
Both my babies are showing signs of chicken pox!! The only place they could have picked it up was at the dr last week!! What idiot takes their kid in for chicken pox?? 2 year old and 6 month old with chicken pox... this should be interesting. Fingers crossed that its not!!
**Do none of you call in before going to the doc, or do you just rush them in for every little thing??
Quoting usmc.momma:
I still dont see how that makes ME the idiot....
Quoting OnTheCrazyTrain:
the symptoms would lead to MANY parents to take their children to the dr. A fever and rash would concern many parent esp if if persists and didnt show the chicken pox spots yet. Especially hypocondriacs or first time parents. Not everyone educates themselves on things medically.
Quoting usmc.momma:
really?? how so??
Quoting OnTheCrazyTrain:
wow, ur an idiot

Improving community ambulation after stroke: the AMBULATE trial
1 Discipline of Physiotherapy, Faculty of Health Sciences, The University of Sydney, Sydney, NSW, Australia
2 Westmead Hospital, Faculty of Medicine, The University of Sydney, NSW 2006, Australia
BMC Neurology 2009, 9:8 doi:10.1186/1471-2377-9-8Published: 11 February 2009
It has been reported that following rehabilitation, only 7% of stroke survivors are able to walk at a level commensurate with community participation. Previous research indicates that treadmill and overground walking training can improve walking capacity in people living in the community after stroke. The main objectives of the AMBULATE trial are to determine (i) whether a 4-month treadmill walking program is more effective than a 2-month program, compared to control, in improving walking capacity, health and community participation and (ii) the "threshold" walking speed that results in sufficient walking capacity that makes walking self-sustaining.
A prospective randomised controlled trial of unsupported treadmill training with a 12 month follow-up with concealed allocation and blinded assessment will be conducted. 210 community-dwelling people after stroke who are able to walk independently but slowly will be recruited and randomly allocated to either a 4 month training group, 2 month training group or the control (no intervention) group. Intervention for the two training groups will occur 3 days per week for 30 minutes each session. Measurements of walking, health and community participation will be taken at baseline, 2 months, 4 months, 6 months and 12 months. This study has obtained ethical approval from the relevant Human Research Ethics Committees.
By improving stroke survivors' walking ability, it is likely also to improve their general wellbeing by promoting better health and greater community participation. Furthermore, if stroke survivors can reach a point where their walking and community participation is self-sustaining, this will reduce the burden of care on family and friends as well as the economic burden on the health system. Given the major demographic shift in developed nations involving significant growth in the aged population, this research will make an important evidence-based contribution to the promotion of healthy ageing.

Our organization, the National Parks of New York Harbor Conservancy (Harbor Conservancy for short), supports and runs programs at the National Parks in New York City. One of our programs is the Osprey tracking project we call "Osprey's Journey." Dr. Bob Kennedy, an Osprey expert who has been studying the species since the 1970s, is our scientific advisor.
Roughly a year ago, we put a tiny satellite tracking device on a young male Osprey named C2, who nests at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge in NYC. We tracked him through one migration cycle to his wintering grounds in Venezuela and back and want to track him for one more year.
We also want to continue sharing the science and the story on our website OspreysJourney.com, where we give visitors the chance to witness C2's miraculous 2,700-mile migration and the challenges he faces during the nesting season -- from mating and chick-rearing to foraging for fish in safe areas, far from the dangers of city life.
Expanding the Osprey knowledge base
By tracking individual Ospreys, as we are doing with C2, scientists answer questions critical to understanding the species and ensuring its survival.
Raising public awareness about wildlife needs in urban areas
By telling C2's story on OspreysJourney.com, we waken people to the wildlife sharing their cities and towns and educate them on the importance of preserving habitat.
Connecting people with nature
We offer website visitors an intimate, soul-stirring, connection with nature that would otherwise be out of reach.
Photo by Don Riepe.
Ospreys are just one of many species of wildlife that spend part or all of the year in Jamaica Bay. This picture shows an egret within sight of the Empire State Building.
Our project has been covered twice in The New York Times -- here and here, as well as in Conde Nast Traveler, Audubon Magazine and numerous blogs and discussion boards.
Our website has received nearly 100,000 pageviews by around 21,000 individual visitors. Over 10,000 visits have resulted from Facebook sharing.
Our Osprey newsletter has over 1,000 subscribers and astronomical open and click rates, showing unusually strong interest and involvement on the part of our core audience.
- To study the variation in C2's migration, mating, parenting and fishing behaviors from year to year so we can discover how he learns and changes in response to his experiences.
- To continue shining a spotlight on Ospreys and other wildlife living among us and reach an even larger audience.
We started the project in Spring 2012 with a bird named Coley whom we intended to track for two years. Unfortunately, after the first year, a potential safety issue developed with the backpack holding the transmitter in place. Coley was fine, but we had to start over with a different Osprey -- C2. This turned what was supposed to be a two-year project into a three-year one, so we ran out of funds.
We need $22,000 to track C2 for the 2nd year. If we get it, we will:
- Download and interpret the GPS data every few days during migration and every 2-4 weeks while C2 is at his nesting site and winter grounds.
- Gather periodic observations from the field while C2 is at the nest site.
- Tell the story of C2's travels on the Osprey's Journey website.
- Share highlights of C2's adventures in our Osprey's Journey newsletter and on the Harbor Conservancy's Facebook page.
- Share our research with other scientists and naturalists and with the National Park Service and American Littoral Society so they can continue to make the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge as hospitable as possible to Ospreys.

America's Osprey population plummeted in the mid-20th century due to DDT use, which interfered with Osprey reproduction. Eventually, DDT was banned, but recovery was still hindered by encroaching development on former habitat. Environmentalists have been addressing the problem by erecting artificial platforms where Ospreys can nest. Some 20 such platforms, like this one, have been put to good use by Osprey pairs at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge.
We have some really exciting perks for campaign supporters, including tickets to a sunset eco-cruise of Jamaica Bay; an original Osprey watercolor by artist, naturalist and National Park Ranger Dave Taft; a private phone call on all things Osprey with our project scientist Dr. Bob Kennedy; a boat ride to C2's nesting site; and a special Osprey-themed group walking tour of the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge. See the full list on the right. There are perks for gifts at all levels, including, in every case, our heartfelt thanks.
If we are not able to meet our goal entirely, we will scale back on the amount of data interpretation and reporting we do. For instance, we might check in on C2 less frequently during the winter or skip the winter reporting entirely and only report on him during migration (or, if necessary, only during the return migration next Spring).
If the transmitter that tracks C2's movements is damaged or fails for some reason, our tracking will necessarily come to an end. However, we will still be able to watch for his return to Jamaica Bay and report on it on our website.
The big "if" that we hate talking about is the possibility that C2 could be injured and die -- a risk that comes with any wildlife tracking project. All we can say is that if this should happen, we would interpret the data, surmise what we can and report what happened as best we understand it.
You can give our campaign a big boost by getting the word out to your friends and family. There are share tools right at the top of the page (underneath the video) to make it easy!
* Wondering who made our wonderful campaign video? It was Simba Productions and we highly recommend them!

Your first "TV crush"
Inspired by what someone posted in another thread, who was your very first crush of an actor or actress you saw on television?
For me, I want to say Erin Gray in Buck Rogers, but I watched it during weekday reruns long after it had been canceled. And it was probably during Silver Spoons, so I don't remember where I saw her first. But she looked a lot better on Buck Rogers.
Knight Rider's Patricia McPherson (Bonnie) was also on at around that time.
And I might've been the only kid in my school who liked Faye Grant (Juliet Parrish) on V.
And of course Catherine Bach (Daisy Duke) goes without saying.

As of Thursday, November 7, 2013

DONALSONVILLE — A lot is riding on tonight's Region 1-A game between Herald No. 2 Seminole County and No. 4 Mitchell County with the winner claiming the Region 1-A title and an automatic berth in the Class A public school state playoffs.
But don't tell Mitchell County coach Larry Cornelius and Seminole County coach Alan Ingram that tonight's game in Donalsonville is big.
The pair have been trying to downplay the game all week.
"We're trying to treat it like any other game," Cornelius said. "We don't want our guys getting too amped up before kickoff."
Then it was Ingram's turn, whose team can cap off an unbeaten regular season with a victory. It would match the 1972 Seminole County squad's unbeaten year, believed to be the last Indian team to roll through the regular season undefeated.
"Our kids and our staff have tried to handle all of our games the same," Ingram said. "This one will probably be a little more emotional. We just try to get our kids to play hard every week."
While Seminole (9-0, 5-0 Region 1-A) is trying to match history, Mitchell will be trying to win its first region title under Cornelius and first since 2010 when the Eagles went unbeaten in region play. Mitchell was the last team not named Seminole County to win the Region 1-A title.
Ingram said Mitchell's speed is a concern. Quarterback Bruce Bryant leads the team with 790 rushing yards and nine touchdowns. Bryant has also passed for 564 yards and five touchdowns. Running back Anfreenee Williams has rushed for 744 yards and eight touchdowns.
One of Bryant's top targets is wide receiver Josh King, who has hauled in 19 passes for 250 yards and two touchdowns and is a big-play threat the Indians will have to stop.
"One of our goals is to always go undefeated in the regular season and win region," Ingram said. "Those two things are riding on (tonight's) game. Those are things we want to accomplish, which makes (tonight) such a big game."
Mitchell County (6-3, 5-0) has won five straight after starting the season 1-3. During that stretch, the Eagles have outscored opponents by a combined 218-43. However, they haven't played a team the caliber of Seminole County.
Cornelius, in his second season, said the Indians' resiliency is what impresses him the most.
"I've watched eight of their games, and they never give up," he said. "It's rare for one kid on their team to take a play off. When they played Early County earlier in the season, I think they were down like 13-0 heading into the fourth quarter. They ended up coming back and winning the game.
"They never quit."
Seminole County's defense has been key all the season. The Indians have recorded three shutouts and had two other games where they allowed only seven points.
"They'll line up and play a cover zone all night," Cornelius said. "And they'll try to take your run game away. But we feel like if we can give our quarterback enough time and some of our wide receivers will be able to get open, we can have success. We may miss some, but hopefully we may be able to hit a home run, too."

I wrote a long review in the other slot for this (Labeled "US version") and I sung it's praises. However, after using a tube, I decided that I can't really use drying actives like this for my sensitive skin. I still stand by this being one of the best BP treatments and even for my skin, I can use this with better success than I have had with things like chemical exfoliants and other perscriptions. So I do still think it's a great product but my skin is acne prone yet sensitive and I just don't have the same type of acne other people have, so for that reason I don't really use it anymore. I will attach the original review below just in case people want to see my original opinion.
We need to talk about this, right now. I have been itching to review this for the entire time I had it, a short (yet miraculous) two weeks, but I held off. I wanted to give myself time to get adjusted to it and be able to write a thorough review.
I first tried benzyl peroxide a few years ago with Kate Somerville's Anti-Bac Clearing Lotion and I couldn't hate anything more. I don't know if it was because of additional prescriptions, but my face was a dry, disgusting AND a broken out mess. NO NO NO. I swore off any BP treatments even though I heard great things about this. Throughout that time, I continued to suffer horrible unrelenting adult acne, that no cleansers, pills, creams, natural remedies or prescriptions fixed. And I tried a LOT of them.
One day, really out of the blue, I was sick of a cluster of erupting pimples/cysts beneath the skin of my right cheek, which is always the worst spot for me, and just went and grabbed it. I asked a few sales people about it, but by that point I was just like, EFF IT ALREADY I'm going to at least try. I'm glad I did..... I'm actually upset I waited so long. I def can't say it cleared my cysts over night and I'm not going to say I'm totally clear. Most especially because I'm a notorious picker and I'm actually on medication for that too. But in two weeks I've seen a drastic improvement and the ones that come up have actually healed really well. My skin was SO bad, that I used to think I wasn't sensitive and reacting to ingredients, that I just developed bad skin later in life. It was NOT true. It was all about ingredients and this helped even when I was still using some of the problem products. (It took a while to figure out, but I can't use certain glycols and siloxanes.) So considering how my acne was still being fueled before figuring out what I break out to, and how much worse I make it by touching it, I'm more than impressed this has even made a dent. But of course, what comes with it is less spots to pick since I'm actually healing up and not breaking out as often. And this is just the first two weeks.
I've heard you can't stop BP once you start and that sucks, but at this point I've hidden for too long. I just need clear(er) skin. I started by using this just as a spot treatment in the am and all over at night. Most days now I just spot treat with this, since all over every day can be a bit much for me, but I still do it all over a few nights a week, just to be safe. While I've had some dryness around my mouth in the form of light ashyness, and some where my scabs are healing, especially as they dry out and fall off, I haven't had those sickening overly dry patches like I did before. I also use a light brown sugar as a scrub to combat that and it works magic as well as a thin layer of jojoba oil. This is much gentler on sensitive skin. I also haven't seen any bleaching of my clothes or pillowcases. While this does make you a bit more photosensitive which I already am, I haven't gotten burned any easier with this, I just feel hotter in the sun on my face. I also was slightly itchy in the beginning which I've heard can happen, since it *is* drying your skin out. But my acne makes me itch anyway, and your skin will get used to that and it will stop fairly quickly. I also try to use moisturizer but I still have bad luck when I apply it (I tend to get new pimples) so I hope to add that back in soon, but in the meanwhile, even without it my skin is holding up which is miraculous. I recommend moisturizer when possible though, or jojoba if you can, to replenish the dryness.
Additionally, you need so little of this that you really are getting a great value, especially if it works. I often use this much more than twice a day on some spots and I still have tons left and haven't killed my skin yet. As I continued it, and took the products/ingredients that I react to out, I just need this less and less, but I still use it - daily. It's gentle but effective. I will buy this again and again.
Sorry this is so long, but in short, I can't stress enough for people with stubborn acne to try this...not all BP treatments are created equally!! I haven't tried any other products from this brand but I'm super happy with this one. Been using it for a while and quit antibiotics and other prescriptions for skin. This is a major HG for me.
Update: I used most of this but I didn't end up repurchasing only because my skin is so sensitive that I kind of have to be careful with things this strong/acne products and so I don't tend to use them all over. I dry out easily and that causes more problems. SO I do think this is one of the better formulas out there.

I used the 3 step system which included this, the cleanser (which I love and have repurchased around 12 times as I go through it quite quickly) and the toner (which is good but I prefer using a natural/hydrating toner. Anyway, it cleared up my skin pretty well, but now about six months down the line my skin is having a bit of an issue again and so I repurchased a tube of Effaclar Duo. It is working, but it's almost winter here and this makes my skin flake like hell if I don't slather on s**tloads of cream. And I can't put too much cream on because my skin will break out, it's that sensitive. My active acne is dotted around my face so now I just dot it on and let it work overnight.
You have to give it time and work with it, but it does work great.

Effaclar Duo [+] has been effective over time for me. At first I thought it was a dud as it felt mild on my skin unlike the treatments I had used as a teen. How sad is it that I expect something irritating? Anyway, I picked this up for the hyperpigmentation I got from an angry bout of acne. That has resolved. I use it every morning and most evenings. The consistency is thin. So it's light but still moisturizing. My cheek area is my problem area regarding pores (size and blackheads). I have seen improvement there as well as in the severity of breakouts.

This lotion contains benzol peroxide which irritates my sensitive acne-prone skin. So I can and will only use it as a spot treatment and with caution. But if you like BP and it works on your skin, go for it! I prefer lotions with salicylic acid (BHA).

I used this when I was having a phase of very bad skin and it really cleared up my spots and got rid of any scarring. It is a really light texture and absorbs into my skin super fast. It has a nice clean smell and a tube lasts ages as you only need a small amount.

Just ordered my 3rd one of these, got it for ten pound from escentual.com rather than boots at £15, I had acne scars and do feel like this has helped to minimize them and have been using it for months now and I use this all over my skin as the uk version is ok for doing that :)

I'm about a week into using this, and so far I'm amazed by the results! Waking up the second day of using it, I had no new acne and I saw a small change in the amount of redness on my cheeks. A few more days, and I still had no new spots, and my skin looked more even and felt less irritated. I've used this on maybe 50-60% of my face, including t-zone, the apple of my cheeks and around my mouth, and it hasn't dried me out the way I've found anything that's directly marketed as acne/spot treatments usually does. Granted, I've been thourough in putting moisturiser over it once it's dry, but then again that's not helped me before when usuing similar products. I like the fact that I can use it underneath my makeup without problem. I don't know if this is mostly a feeling or not, but I do feel like it "fights off" some of the disadvantages of putting foundations on acne prone skin.
Now I just hope that it's not a product my skin will get "immune" to so that the effect wears off after a while, but even if that would happen (knock on wood) I think I'd want to keep this within reach to get out whenever there's a stress-induced breakout at the horizon.

I have mixed feelings about this product.
When I first bought it I was amazed by almost everything. The packaging which is simple and hygienic, the scent (it reminds me of fresh-cut roses), the feeling of the cream and the results that it gave to my face. It's a matte cream that controls the oils of my skin and it's absorbed quickly so it's ideal for under make-up use. The first few days I noticed that my acne looked less irritated and my face had calmed down. But now, after almost two months, my skin is breaking out again and this cream doesn't seem to do anything anymore. I don't know if this cream 'caused my new break outs or my skin just got used to it and needs something more to help with my acne. I may be repurchasing this cream in the future but not right after it's finished just because I feel like I need to try something else. And as for the price I believe it's affordable.

I got this product as a sample from an advisor at a Boots beauty counter: I was looking for a moisturiser for my acne prone skin and she suggested a treatment. I had previously purchased the Effaclar face wash and Effaclar astringent (not my favourite products, more on them later) but this was the only product from the 3-step regime not to have had the pleasure of gracing my face.
I was eager to try it, believing that it had to be the missing link - why hadn't the Effaclar system cleared my skin?
The product oozes out like a gel, white and fairly transparent when spread across your skin.
The smell is relatively normal, in that space between clinical and regular so it's not entirely unscented but it not a disturbing scent at all.
One thing that definitely convinced me to try the range is the packaging! Seemingly high-end, simple and straight to the point like I hoped the product would be.
The actual tube of product in stores is pretty small for around £15.50 for a 40ml tube (sheesh).
So when I first tried this product, I was going away for the weekend and stripped back my regime only to products from the Effaclar line - face wash, astringent and then this magic tube (apparently a moisturiser, spot treatment and other thingie treatment too) - BAD IDEA.
Despite my having oily skin, the product was not enough to moisturise, I think my skin drank it as I did try slathering it on but my skin still felt paper dry. There was no noticeable improvement in my skin.
So this product was a flop! I did use it for a few weeks in total (the Boots assistant gave me a truck load of samples), but I honestly don't think it did enough for me to even consider buying it. I had high hopes, but not a magic treatment for me.

After hearing so many good reviews, I decided to give this product a try. The texture is really nice and is absorbed quickly into the skin. It leaves a matte, almost tight feeling which has really controlled my oily skin. However it seems to be giving me more breakouts! Maybe I haven't been using it for long enough, but I expected to see some positive results by the second week. I bought this mainly to get rid of my scars and red marks from when I suffered from acne, but it's just made it come back! NOOOO. I'll keep on using it for another few weeks just to see how it goes, but so far I'm not too happy :(
