Crownover Middle School Reviews
Wish I didn
By a Parent on
This school is not what it's made out to be. We just moved here over the summer. I looked and looked at different reviews about schools around here. Thought this would be a great school for my child. I was very wrong my child is very unhappy here. My child is having a very hard time. I feel like I need people to understand this school not all what it made out to be.

Chris Spangler received a bye for the first round. He will face Dennis Wilson out of St. Rita High School (Chicago) in the 2nd round. Spangler pinned Wilson in a meet earlier this year.
Spangler pinned Wilson in 2:40. Next up in the quarterfinals is Joe Waropay out of Normal (University). To the best of my knowledge, these two have not faced each other this year.
Thanks for the updates
32 years later and I am still riding on the back.
I don't sweat the petty things,... I pet the sweaty things
Spangler won his quarterfinal match by pin in 3:38. Next up in the semifinals is another highly touted wrestler and Illinois commit (former Iowa commit) Jordan Blanton.
Spangler lost to Blanton 10-8. The highest he can place now is 3rd.
Spangler won his first consolation match 13-3. He will now wrestle for 3rd place.
Chris won his last match 6-4 and takes 3rd place.
from illinois matmen:
The match of the day, weekend, the year, and, in my book, the history of the IHSA took place at 171. It is a shame that Chris Spangler and Jordan Blanton could not have wrestled in the finals. Spangler came out "swinging" (not literally) and was aggressive immediately. He scored two takedowns quickly, followed by letting Blanton up. After letting Blanton up a second time, Spangler shot right back in with a hard double; Blanton scrambled; and Spangler scored a third takedown in less than two minutes. Blanton was not to be outdone, and he escaped in dramatic fashion at the end of the first period. It was 6-3. The second period began with Spangler cutting Blanton again. But, something had changed. Blanton was aggressive and began pushing the pace. It paid off when Blanton scored a takedown with 18 seconds left at the edge of the mat. Spangler scrambled and was awarded two for a reversal as time ran out, but the points were waived off after the referees conferred. The score was tied 6-6 going into the third period, and it was a match!
At one point, it looked like Spangler thought he was going to cruise to victory, but Blanton had other ideas. This time Blanton started a period cutting Spangler. After a bully double out of bounds, Blanton went up for the first time in the match. When they started back in, Blanton cut Spangler again to tie it back up 8-8. Spangler then shot on Blanton, but Blanton fought it off to a stalemate. They started back in the center, and the action finished out of bounds again at 1:06. Spangler was slow to come back to the center and was visibly tired. Blanton seemed ready to go like he was starting the match. Spangler took the initiative with another shot, but there not enough behind it, and Blanton spun behind for a go ahead takedown with 27 seconds to go. The place went crazy. Blanton rode Spangler out, who clearly did not have much gas left. In all my years of watching the State tournament I have never seen a standing ovation for a semifinal match, but there is always a first. Blanton won the match of the tournament, and to Spangler's credit, he was gracious at the end.

Hi Ray:
It sounds like you are like the rest of us that are going through phases and questioning the way we work and do business.
By the way I lived in Portland for a year and while there I worked at Pro Photo. I talk to Doug once in a while.
When I had my studio in Canada I got tired of the corner I painted myself into photographically and sold it after 10 years. I was in a rut and needed to re-evaluate. I have done that a few times in the 29 years I've been doing this.
I have also contemplated, like I mentioned before, the concept of no proofs, but here is your portrait, take it or leave it. I 've also contemplated the idea of a 4x5 framed in a miniature method costing the same as a 20x24. I've contemplated why we price by the square inch. Why not price by the image. The more I like it the more it costs.
I have already instituted that all pricing includes the frame, usually of my choice. I have been working on a concept of miniatures, contact printed 4x5 one and only for X number of dollars.
I just think that we all go through these phases when we re-examine our business and sometimes make changes and sometimes we don't. When I am in a rut sometimes I take a workshop and that helps, sometimes I just get drunk. Whatever.
As for the gallery thing, I just have never been bitten by the bug to need that kind of headache or adoration from gallery prowlers. I like the complements as much as the next person but it doesn't make me want to search it out. I display my pictures in beauty salons, fat farms, dentist offices vet clinics and a couple of other places. That is gallery enough for me.
Anyway nice to see your participation in the site,
Michael McBlane

and Susan Bradley, Microsoft Small Business Server MVP. This series of book excerpts will help you navigate Chapter 1, "What is patch management?," courtesy of Ecora. Click for the complete book excerpt series.
Why do we patch?
It is obvious that we patch because software is not processing commands correctly. This mis-processing could range from elevation of privilege to information disclosure. Threat modeling, a text that explores what an adversary might attain by exploiting a flaw defines the following threat categories:
- Spoofing identity
- Tampering with data (also called integrity threats)
- Repudiation
- Information disclosure
- Denial of service
- Elevation of privilege
Patch management ensures that correct code replaces incorrect code. However, it is not the only way to reduce risk. The patch management process also includes mitigation techniques that are not actual patches but include additional procedures to protect networks if the patch is not available, or if admins cannot apply it to a network, or if there are other reasons that preclude applying the patch.

Indoor "vertical" farming is a hot trend in the upper Midwest and other parts of the world, though some farms have had more success than others. Now one indoor farm is taking it to new levels in a giant warehouse just outside Chicago. AP video. (March 28)

Yes we did. And today it's back, big time, as Fournier claims Obama's VP choice highlights the candidate's lack of "self-confidence."
Hey, everybody's got a right to their opinion and all the candidates takes their hits in the press. But with Fournier, his hits this year have never targeted McCain. The latest AP column is more proof of why McCain aides wanted to hire Fournier to spin for them.
From 236.com. Enjoy.
Longtime Springsteen fans may have caught onto our new blogs's name; it's copped from the relatively obscure, Nebraska-era song of his. (Here's a nice analysis of the tune; here are the lyrics.) After running out of "media"-based name possibilities for the blog (we're pretty sure they've all been taken by now), we just liked the idea the song conveyed of a meeting place for folks to gather.
In her rather unflattering review of Thomas Frank's The Wrecking Crew, a charged attack on the Republican's control of Washington, D.C., Times reviewer Michiko Kakutani not only decried the tone of the book (Frank was just too darn angry) but she complained that Frank sometimes didn't back up the factual claims found in his passages.
But as Jonathan Schwarz at A Tiny Revolution points out, Frank often used something called footnotes to back up the factual claims in his passages. Footnotes that Kakutani didn't always read.
Via FishbowlDC, FNC's Chad Pergam details what went wrong while covering the Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones story.
Todd Gitlin at TPM Cafe notes the ABC anchor suggested Thursday's campaign back-and-forth between Obama and McCain revolved around "which of them is richer."
Not true. It revolved around which one couldn't remember how many houses he owns.
The one that claimed he received virtually no negative coverage from the network nightly news broadcasts during the last month of the primaries. John K. Wilson at Off the Bus notes that, shockingly, MRC's unique brand of analysis doesn't stand up to scrutiny. (Not that Howard Kurtz would ever say so.)
Writes Wilson: "I challenge MRC to release the full details of their study so that outside observers can determine exactly how they determined "bias" in the media and why their results are so far out of touch with reality."
Your move Brent.
OK, we get it. You scooped everyone on the terribly important John Edwards affair story. And in the wake of that we patiently put up with all the media hand-wringing about how reporters should have covered the story.
But Enquirer editor David Perel's new, self-centered victory lap at Huffington Post, where he claims the story represented some sort of "watershed" moment in journalism, just makes us wish he'd go back to chasing cheating husbands.

Hi there.
I've been using a Rollei SL66 for some years too.
The speed of film cranking and the emulsion thickness seems to determine film overlapping for me. I'm lucky to get 12 images on a roll. I think Rollei had future-proofed their cameras by ensuring users expend more exposures to keep film afloat.

Question Asked:
My 2006 750 li has only 60,000 miles on it. On vacation last month 800 miles from home my transmission failed. There was no warning or previous signs of a problem. The nearest BMW dealer said the only option was to replace it, it could not be repaired. Seemed strange that a failure should occur with such low mileage. $10,000 later I was on my way home. I called BMW NA customer service and got absolutely nowhere. This was called a"random failure" and offerd no help. Needless to say given this kind of a response my BMW buying days are over

I'm at 131 at the moment. My hands are raw from stuffing envelopes.
Becca-"light green & crisp" mom
Girly diva DD (w/ a side of superhero and star wars love) Dec05
31 wk DS stud (doesn't know he's a preemie) Sept2010
I think I sent out close to 100 last year. This year I'm almost due with our baby (tentative date to induce me is 12/22) so I'm not sending ANY. I feel like such a rebel!!! But, it's also sort of nice not to worry about it for one year! :)
Mom to ds (12.8.05), dd (12.23.08), and dd (3.1.11)
We send out around 110 to 120.
Amber ~ If you wanted to you could send out Valentines Day or Christmas in July cards. We did that one year.
Megan ~ Mom to 3 amazing boys!
Jonathan (6), Joshua (3), & Zachary (1)
We are usually at about 100. Give or take a few... :)
Happy Stuffing!
Tara FT-Working mom to 3 wonderful children!
Around 100 for friends and family and then another 40-50 related to DH's work.
Rebecca, mama to Layla (12-06-05)
A big fat 0 for me. Never really got into it for some reason. I always think how nice it would be to mail some out but then I put my money in other places! LOL!!!
I dont send to ppl I I am not close to or dont see alot unless its older relatives so about 30-40.
Just wondered, do you send them to ppl who provide services for you? My Dr gets so many and I get alot of kids photo cards in the salon I work in. its cute, but I dont think to send to non-friends/family excpet daycare.
Jennifer- To answer your question--- No, I personally don't send them out to people who provide services.
Someone must do it though because I always see them hanging on the walls in those kinds of places!
Mom to ds (12.8.05), dd (12.23.08), and dd (3.1.11)
I do almost 100. I always order 100 and that gets me through.
I seem to send 2 rounds, the 1st initial set and then the cards from people that were not on my list.

Rebuilding old ransomes walk behind
Ok, I'm new to the site and I have some decent equipment on hand since I've been doing this for about 2 years. all my equipment is almost new except for my 36'' belt drive ransomes wb. It mows great, but its a pain in the ass to use. I don't know how old it is, ITS ANCIENT. the motor is a POS, old 10hp tecumseh L-head, and there is no transmission, it has a variable pulley speed setup. even the vs pulley is broken (now its a single speed). no safety features and the manual blade control allows the blades to kep spinning after disenagement.
My goal is to replace the motor, and repair some of the other things that are damaged.
Can I put a actual transmission on it? or get a new variable speed pulley?
Is there any way to update the controls and the drive pulleys?
the front castors are the old type, any way to get the new style?
And any ideas on the blades?
Hi welcome to Lawn site, I never understand these kind of posts, IMHO I would not waist time or $ fixing this unit but again its not my $ or time we are talking about. Most new 36 w/b are not that expensive most in the $2,000 range or less, but you will have a new mower with a warranty instead of spending money on a new motor,trans, pulleys, controls, safety's, belts,casters etc. and never fails once you start spending on a project you never stop soon you will have spent more then the new mower. I hope this helps but I am sure some more people will post and give you some other view points. I have no agenda and I am not trying to sell you a mower I just try and look at it from a business view point you can spend the money now and turn around and make that money back and more with a new mower or you could spend the money piece by piece and the down time of installation if you are doing this job yourself or paying ever more to have a shop retrofit all these items and still have an old mower with some new parts and usually a 90 day warranty for parts and labor.
Its probably smarter to buy a new one, I just thought I would only be spending about 700-800 total instead of 2000 or more. I would want to get a zt or a hydro instead of a new belt drive, which would set me back more. The other thing is that my mower probably only worth about 200 bucks, I'm telling you the thing is beat.
I have to side with mowermedic77 on this one. If you are like me, it is always tough, regardless of cost to justify spending the money for new.
However, if you _are_ in the business, look at the image you present when you arrive at a job site with a baling wire special. If you are not in the business, I assure you, the peace of mind knowing how much better your chances are of not having to work on your machine each and every time you use it, still makes new, a bargain.
Take the money you would spend to fix the old mower buy a new or newer used machine. Not worth the time for all needed repairs you listed. If it was an engine I might think about it.
Buy a new 36'' toro T-Bar walkbehind. Very EASY to use and you wont have to worry about anything going wrong. Prices vary but 2500 should get ya one.
Or, if you have a gravely dealer in your area then I would recommend a Pro G with ProSteer. MSRP is 2600, one could be had for 2500 if ya ask. Both of these mowers are very easy to use and leave an excellent cut. http://www.gravely.com/gravely/produ...inds/pro+g.asp
Oh, Err, Uhmm
Sorry, I forgot to mention sumpin' in my earlier post.
Like MowerManiac77 said; welcome to the site.
Well it looks like I need to make some more money. To upgrade! Anyone have any ideas on a new mower? something that is simple and easy to service and run.

I hope Lifetime is filming with some special Adobe camera of the future, because last night's bloat and finger-bruises aren't going to Photoshop themselves.
So how old was Liz Taylor when she died? And is this movie about the later years of her life? Cause that is the only Liz that Lindsay could possibly be playing!
She has without question one of the nicest racks in the industry.

This review is from: RAZER RZ03-00384600 Blackwidow Ultimate Mechanical Keyboard
Pros: Looks new, no scratches, no wear & tear, etc. Everything works fine for now. The lighting, all keys functioning properly, and the plugins on the side of the keyboard for mic and headphone work as well. Really good for a refurbished product.
Cons: The keys feel like they're not in all the way or something like that (even if I know they are). Some keys wiggle a little bit even after you've fully pressed and hold the key down. This was not the case for my old Razer keyboard and I don't know if it's meant to be this way since it's my 1st Ultimate 2014 keyboard.
Other Thoughts: When I ordered this product I chose free shipping and expected it to arrive after Thanksgiving weekend. I DID NOT expect it to arrive 2 days after my payment! Newegg is awesome for that!READ FULL REVIEW

Pros: Major improvement from AMD Radeon 6670. Runs every game I throw at it on High-Ultra compared to Low-Med on my old card. Came with the 2 games on holiday bundles and can run those on High-Ultra on 1080p!
Cons: None so far.
Other Thoughts: I am a casual gamer on a budget and this card exceeds my expectations on performance and visual. Maybe it's because I've been playing games for soo long on low end graphics cards.READ FULL REVIEW

Incorporating energy efficiency and renewable energy can help businesses across all sectors in New York become more profitable.
Working together in various communities, New Yorkers can create a better energy future and help the economy grow.
New Yorkers can make their homes more comfortable and cut energy costs.
Talent, innovation, and unique resources available in New York make it a premier place for clean energy businesses to grow.
New York welcomes the new, innovative ideas that will inform policy, protect the environment, and power the future.
Wind farms are a collection of wind turbines placed in the same location for the purpose of generating electricity. To produce the amount of energy required, they must be placed in areas with reliable wind speeds. Private companies are developing most of the wind farms in the United States. Wind farm developers use their own land or lease land from farmers, ranchers, or in some cases, the government. Developers sell electricity from the wind farms to power marketers, electric utilities, or directly to specific companies or government agencies.
Over a decade ago, NYSERDA's Wind Plant Development Program supported the installation and operation of two large–scale wind power plants in New York. These wind plants, totaling 41.5 MW, are located in Madison County, New York. Their success has been paving the way for present and future wind development at additional locations throughout the State of New York.
Large scale wind developments in New York State are now supported through the Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) Main Tier.
The Power NY Act of 2011 established a process for the siting of electric generating facilities and repowering projects. As part of the process, a multi-agency Siting Board is charged with streamlining the permitting process for power plants of 25 megawatts (MW) or greater. The Power NY Act also encourages investments in clean power plants and affords communities more opportunities to participate in the siting process.
"Article 10" was enacted in 2011 to be a portion of the New York State Public Service Law. It is a general state law that is applicable in all of New York State. Article 10 empowers the New York State Board on Electric Generation Siting and the Environment to issue Certificates of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need authorizing the construction and operation of major electric generating facilities.
A previous version of such a law expired on January 1, 2003. Key provisions of the new law include:
More information on the Power NY and Article 10 are available on the Department of Public Service website.

NYSERDA is primarily funded by state ratepayers through the System Benefits Charge (SBC), which was established on May 20, 1996. These funds are allocated toward energy-efficiency programs, research and development initiatives, low-income energy programs, and environmental disclosure activities. The SBC was extended most recently until December 31, 2016.
Customers of the following utilities pay into the SBC:
To determine if you are paying into the SBC, look at a recent bill from your utility company to see if "SBC" or "RPS" is listed as a charge. If need assistance determining whether you pay into the SBC, contact NYSERDA at 1-866-NYSERDA.
Utility customers that do not pay into the SBC may still be eligible for NYSERDA programs. Contact NYSERDA at 1-866-NYSERDA to determine if any energy efficiency programs are available to you.

|Jean-Philippe Rameau
See also:
Platée (Plataea) is an opera in a prologue and three acts by Jean-Philippe Rameau with a libretto by Adrien-Joseph Le Valois d'Orville. Rameau bought the rights to the libretto Platée ou Junon Jalouse (Plataea, or Juno Jealous) by Jacques Autreau (1657–1745) and had d'Orville modify it.[1] The ultimate source of the story is a myth related by the Greek writer Pausanias in his Guide to Greece.
Rameau's first attempt at comic opera, the plot concerns an ugly water nymph who believes that Jupiter, the king of the gods, is in love with her.[2] The work was initially called a ballet bouffon, though it was later styled a comédie lyrique, putting it in the same category as Rameau's Les Paladins. It was written for the celebrations of the wedding of Louis, Dauphin of France, son of King Louis XV of France, to the Infanta Maria Theresa of Spain, who, according to contemporary sources, like the title character was no beauty. Instead of getting the composer into trouble, the entertainment at Versailles seems to have been well received, and Rameau was appointed a few months later to the position of Composer of the King's Chamber Music with a sizable annual pension.
The opera was first performed on 31 March 1745 at the Grande Écurie, Versailles.
Background to the opera[edit]
Comic opera was relatively rare during the Baroque era in France and the musicologist Cuthbert Girdlestone expresses his surprise that none of Rameau's contemporaries seem to have remarked on the innovative nature of Platée.[3] Rameau may have been inspired by a revival of an earlier comic opera, Les amours de Ragonde by Jean-Joseph Mouret, in 1742,[4] or by Joseph Bodin de Boismortier's comic opera-ballet, Don Quichotte chez la Duchesse from 1743.
Performance history and reception[edit]
Platée was one of the most highly regarded of Rameau's operas during his lifetime. It even pleased critics who had expressed hostility to his musical style during the Querelle des Bouffons (an argument over the relative merits of French and Italian opera). Melchior Grimm called it a "sublime work" and even Rameau's bitter enemy Jean-Jacques Rousseau referred to it as "divine".[5] The reason for this praise may be because these critics saw Platée, a comic opera, paving the way for the lighter form of opera buffa they favoured.[6]
The work received one performance at the marriage festivities at Versailles in 1745. Little is known about this production, except that the title role was taken by the haute-contre Pierre Jélyotte, a famous character actor. Rameau revised the opera in collaboration with the librettist Ballot de Sovot and presented it at the Opéra in Paris on 9 February 1749.[7] Its first public run was very successful and it was later revived in 1750 and again in 1754, always starring in the title role the second haute-contre of the Opéra, La Tour.[8] According to Rodolfo Celletti, the role of Platée performed by La Tour was the highest haute-contre part ever written by Rameau.[9] The 1754 revival was part of the continuing Querelle des Bouffons, pitted against Leonardo Leo's Italian opera buffa, I viaggiatori. Platée was last performed complete during Rameau's lifetime in 1759.
The next production would not take place until 1901 in Munich, in a heavily adapted German version by Hans Schilling-Ziemssen. The French version reappeared at a production in Monte Carlo in 1917 but Platée only returned to France at the Aix-en-Provence Festival in 1956 with young tenor Michel Sénéchal as the queen of frogs, a part which Mr Sénéchal took again in the Opéra-Comique in 1977. The opera made its debut in the Netherlands in 1968, in the United Kingdom in 1983 and in the United States in 1987.
Platée came back to the Paris Opera in April 1999 in a version that was to become later a DVD, with Jean-Paul Fouchécourt, then Paul Agnew, in the title part in a production by Laurent Pelly conducted by Marc Minkowski. The opera was also presented as a co-production of New York City Opera and the Mark Morris Dance Group, directed by Mark Morris during the 1997 Edinburgh Festival, a production that toured often from then in London and the USA. It was also staged by the Santa Fe Opera as part of the Summer 2007 Festival season in an adaptation of the Paris Opéra production also directed by Laurent Pelly, with many of the same production team, and conducted by Harry Bicket. Among the singers who were regarded as remarkable in the title role, were Michel Sénéchal, Gilles Ragon, Jean-Paul Fouchécourt, and Paul Agnew.

When Thalie and Momus arrive, they seek Thespis' help in planning the presentation of an entertainment in which they will recreate a long-ago attempt by Jupiter to cure his wife, Juno, of her jealousy. Initially left out of the planning, a furious Love arrives on the scene and proclaims that it will be impossible to stage the event without her: "how could there be a play without the inspiration of love?" she asks.[14] All four then lay out the plan.
Act 1[edit]
In the middle of a raging storm, Mercury comes down from the heavens and explains to Citheron that it is caused by Juno's jealousy and that he has been sent by Jupiter to find a way of taking his mind off the problem. Citheron's solution is to propose the enactment of the plan put together by the four conspirators: Jupiter will pretend to fall in love with the ugly marsh nymph, Platée - who is convinced that everything that comes near her pond is madly in love with her - and, when Juno finds them together and about to marry, she will realize that her jealousy is baseless and the couple will be re-united.
After Platée arrives, Mercury leaves to inform Jupiter. While she seems to believe that it is Cithéron who is in love with her - in spite of his denials - she is delighted to hear from Mercury that Jupiter will soon descend from the heavens and declare his love: "The god of thunder, drawn to earth by your beauty, wishes to cast at your feet both his heart and the Universe"[15] A new storm created by Juno bursts forth, but Platée is not put out and the marsh creatures retreat to their watery homes.
Act 2[edit]
Having sent Juno off to Athens, Mercury and Cithéron find a hiding place to observe the proceedings. Accompanied by Momus, Jupiter arrives, revealing himself first as a donkey (to the accompanying sounds of donkey braying from the orchestra), then as an owl, and finally, in person in a clap of thunder and bright light. An extended divertissment proceeds, including a show-stopping highlight in which La Folie (Madness) sings the story of Apollo and Daphne as a warning to Platée not to get involved with Jupiter. Dancers and singers alternately praise and mock Platée.
Act 3[edit]
As people arrive for the marriage of Jupiter and Platée, a furious-at-being-tricked Juno has returned from Athens but she is persuaded to hide until the right moment. Momus appears, poorly disguised as Love, and offers "gifts" to Platée. Jupiter and Platée begin to take part in the wedding ceremony, but, stalling after his initial "I swear", he awaits the arrival of Juno. When she finally sees Platée and removes her veil, she realizes that it was all a joke. The gods ascend back to heaven and the humiliated Platée leaps back into the pond.

The site Amadeusonline alone reports a supposed full name "Georges Imbart de La Tour", name which is however also ascribed by the same source to another tenor, whose date of birth (28 May 1865) is also reported, as well as a part of his repertoire. Considering that this latter tenor is proved to have certainly lived by the EMI recording of his voice, and that the numerous inaccuracies and errors which can be found in the Almanac of Amadeusonline render its reliability as a sole source problematic, it has been preferred, in this article, to retain the traditional reference to the eighteenth century haute-contre, simply as "La Tour"

Trusting his stuff?
Posted by Amalie Benjamin June 29, 2008 05:20 PM
With Hideki Okajima coming on in relief of David Aardsma, with Miguel Tejada on first base, this marks the first time in 15 appearances that Okajima has been entrusted with an inherited runner. In that game, on May 14, Okajima allowed a grand slam to Jay Payton.
And it didn't work out so well for the Red Sox this time either.
After a wild pitch put Tejada on second base, Mark Loretta singled up the middle to score Tejada. That puts the Astros up, 3-2.
Okajima has now allowed 12-of-15 inherited runners to score this season. That's a far cry from the dominance he demonstrated last season.

Your joking about the new transmission right? That makes sense, it is about the same size as the dipstick hole.
Yes, the new transmission comment was sarcasm because that is the most opposite of the good news. All that plug you found means is no one has ever had the transmission pan off before. It is supposed to be tossed.

Full Time: Portsmouth 3-1 Wolves. Portsmouth cruise to victory over a disappointing Wolves with goals from Dindane, Utaka and Brown.
Three minutes of added time to be played. Portsmouth look set for a confidence boosting win.
Wolves come forward down the right hand side and they have options in the box but Leonard Sowah makes a superb challenge to prevent the cross coming in. This boy is going to be some player.
A simple mistake from John Utaka as he works a short corner but is then flagged offside as he received the return ball.
Adlene Guedioura is introduced. Kevin Foley makes way.
Piquionne strikes a shot from just inside the box but he cannot feed the ball through a crowd of players and in the end I think it is blocked by Tommy Smith inadvertantly.
A swift Portsmouth counter attack ends in a through ball finding Smith in the channel but his shot is well saved by Hahnemann down to his left.
PORTSMOUTH 3-1 WOLVES. Michael BROWN gets on the scoresheet as he finishes into the bottom corner from twelve yards after a Smith knock down.
Foley tests James again as he curls the ball towards the far corner with his left-foot but the keeper is there to palm it around the post.
John Utaka breaks down the left hand side with trademark pace and cuts onto his stronger right foot before striking for goal but he skews it wide of the mark.
Doyle strikes an effort against the upright and it falls for Ebanks-Blake who has an open net with James already on the floor but the striker drags it wide. What a miss!
Papa Bouba Diop replaces Richard Hughes.
The rhythm of the game has been disrupted by the recent changes as both sides come to terms with slightly new systems and the substitutes get to grips with the game.
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake replaces Mancienne who has been poor. Ebanks-Blake will no doubt play in attack alongside Doyle.
Doyle tries a speculative and acrobatic effort from just inside the box but the looping strike is turned wide by David James. What a goal that would have been!
McCarthy is clearly getting frustarted on the sideline, particularly with Mancienne who once again plays a wayward pass and gifts possession to the home side.
Berra chops down Utaka in rather cynical fashion and is accordingly cautioned by Mike Jones.
The second period starts rather more cagily than the first half finished with both sides exchanging possession in the middle of the park.
The second half is underway.
Tommy Smith replaces Aruna Dindane.
Chris Iwelumo is brought on to replace Bia.
Joel Ward replaces Aaron Mokoena as Grant looks to give some experience to the youngster.
Half-Time: PORTSMOUTH 2-1 WOLVES. A first half that came to life after Dindane's 22nd-minute header ends with Portsmouth one goal ahead after Doyle's leveller was quickly cancelled out by Utaka's low strike. It's still all to play for!
Bia threads the ball into the path of Doyle but James races off his line to shut down the angle and block the shot. If Capello is watching he will certianly be impressed by the Portsmouth stopper's performance so far.
Boateng strikes a free-kick towards goal from twenty-five yards but the ball is blocked by the wall but the appeals for handball are waved away by the referee.
PORTSMOUTH 2-1 WOLVES. Portsmouth are back infront! Michael Brown finds UTAKA on the edge of the box and the Nigerian picks out the bottom corner with a fine finish.
PORTSMOUTH 1-1 WOLVES. A deep free-kick is headed goalbound by Zubar but James parries. It drops to DOYLE who strikes instinctively at goal but James is on hand to make a double save but it drops back to Doyle who forces it home from close range.
Another save from James but this one he knew very little about. Premier Legaue new boy Bia stings a shot in from the edge of the box but James gets his chin in the way and makes a fortunate block.
David Jones takes a free-kick from the left hand side and whips it in low with pace. The ball travels along the six yard line and somehow evades everyone and goes behind for a goal-kick. Any touch on that and it would have been a goal.
Avram Grant plays the politician as he responds to a chorus of requests for a wave from the home fans. Everyone in the ground will be praying that Grant is still at the club next season.
Piquionne makes a great burst into the box and strikes low from the right channel and forces another good stop from Hahnemann low and to his left.
Boateng comes close to doubling the lead as he strikes a shot with phenomenal power from range that forces Hahnemann to make a diving save.
PORTSMOUTH 1-0 WOLVES. The home fans go into raptures as Brown floats the ball into the box and picks out DINDANE who has ghosted in unmarked and he nods home from close range.
James concedes a cheap corner. Craddock comes in at the back post to meet Jones' corner but he cannot quite reach it with an outstretched foot.
The visitors have conceded possession again in midfield and Dindane has the chance to break down the touchline but his first touch is poor and the ball is lost to Elokobi.
Mokoena concedes a free-kick on the edge of his box and Jones will take. The ball is struck over the wall and dipping towards the corner but James scampers across his line to parry it wide. A superb save!
The game has gotten very scrappy in the last few minutes. Bia's delivery is well headed away by veteran defender Steve Finnan.
Bia cuts in off the left hand side and shoots right-footed with power, it takes a deflection that almost wrong foots James but the potential England number one gets back across to gather.
Brown's challenge in midfield is judged as overzealous by the referee and a free-kick is awarded but the long ball forward is easily dealt with by the Portsmouth back-line with only Doyle trying to hold the ball up.
The early pressure comes from the home side as they start positively but Michael Brown's cross from deep is smashed clear by Elokobi.
Mike Jones takes charge of this one and he gets us underway to a chorus of cheers from the Fratton Park faithful. No doubt the home players will want to impress in their final top-flight home game for the foreseeable future.
Mick McCarthy gives a first Premier League start to Mujangi Bia in midfield with Doyle playing the lone striker. Width and support will come frequently from Foley on the left and Jones and Henry will push forward from midfield.
Avram Grant names a strong side in an attempt to build some momentum going into the FA Cup Final in two weeks that includes teenager Sowah at left back. Utaka, Dindane and Piquionne head up the attack with Brown and Hughes bolstering the midfield.
Wolverhampton: Hahnemann, Zubar, Berra, Craddock, Elokobi, Foley, Henry, Mancienne, David Jones, Mujangi Bia, Doyle
Portsmouth: James, Vanden Borre, Mokoena, Finnan, Sowah, Dindane, Brown, Hughes, Boateng, Utaka, Piquionne

Record-breaking snowfall predicted for November. (See warning below about taking this with a grain of salt.)
Forecasters last night warned the entire country is set for a horror freeze which will bring brutal winds and fierce blizzards.
'We are looking at a potentially paralysing winter, the worst for decades, which could at times grind the nation to a halt," said Jonathan Powell, forecaster for Vantage Weather Services.
'Persistent cold snaps with some very heavy snowfall are likely, and I would not be surprised if some records are not broken this year.
James Madden, forecaster for Exacta Weather, said it was likely to be the worst winter for more than 100 years.
"A horror winter scenario is likely to bring another big freeze with copious snow for many parts," said Madden. "This is likely to produce major disruption to public transport and school closures on a prolific scale."
November could turn out to be a record-breaking month. There is the potential for some significant falls of snow. The northern half is likely to experience the worst conditions.
Take with a grain of salt"Just a small warning," says reader in the UK. "The Daily Express is a paper which comes between the 'quality' newspapers like the Telegraph, the Times, the Independent and their Sunday equivalent, and the Red Tops which really deal just in gossip.""It seems to have three standard front page headlines — tax, health and weather. And all should be taken with a grain of salt."It might well be right about the Arctic weather to come in Britain, but our weather is so changeable that you can't rely on what they say especially as the Express relies on full-page, catchy headlines to sell its papers!"
Thanks to Sonya in the U.K. for this warning.

"Gobsmackingly gorgeous!" Hrastovlje by CatherineReichardt
Hrastovlje Travel Guide: 10 reviews and 32 photos
It may have been billed by Lonely Planet as one of the 'must see' locations in Slovenia, but I was simply unprepared for the exquisite gem that is the Church of the Holy Trinity in Hrastovlje. Set amid vineyards and fortified by ancient honey coloured walls, the external simplicity of the 12th century exterior is misleading once you experience the riot of detail within.
I have a particular weakness for Romanesque churches and naive frescoes, so when I read that Hrastovlje's frescoes featured a 'dance macabre' (the 'Dance of Death', which was such a central theme of plague-ravaged Europe in the Middle Ages), I took no more convincing - the bigger challenge was persuading the family that they wanted to stop off to visit some old church on the way to the beach on a sweltering day!
The frescoes cover almost every inch of the church's interior and are utterly breathtaking! The church's architecture and fortified exterior is also enchanting, and its location - separated from the village and surrounded by vineyards contribute to an atmosphere of a place lost in time.
If you only visit one church in Slovenia, then let it be this one (and when you're hit by the total onslaught of Ljubljana's Baroque churches, remember the timeless simplicity of this perfect gem!)

You certainly had much better weather for this one!
If I can, I will pay another visit to Hrastovlje, a real gem, away from mass tourism. For this kind of destination, one time is not enough, haha! If you have the opportunity, do not miss neighboring Beram, in Croatia. It is great, too.
This is indeed an interesting place to visit.

Generating the surface mapping class group by two elements
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: Wajnryb proved in 1996 that the mapping class group of an orientable surface is generated by two elements. We prove that one of these generators can be taken as a Dehn twist. We also prove that the extended mapping class group is generated by two elements, again one of which is a Dehn twist. Another result we prove is that the mapping class groups are also generated by two elements of finite order.
