Loan Overview
Repayment Schedule
Ten years ago, Patricia decided to start her business, Loop Services & More, after realizing that her six years of experience in public notary could afford her a more lucrative career than working for someone else. She says that obtaining her license to practice public notary was the simple part; the difficult part was building up her reputation and gaining clientele.
One of the ways that Patricia has been able to build clientele is by offering several more services than the average public notary, including income tax filing, income tax preparation, mailing services and immigration paperwork.
As a native Spanish speaker, Patricia is also able to provide access to all of these services for the Hispanic communities in the Texas-Mexico border city of Brownsville, where her business is located. Because many of her clients are not educated in the complexities of the government documents necessary to stay and work in the U.S., access to translations of these documents is of the utmost importance to them. She partially attributes her loyal clientele to her ability to provide these much needed services.
Patricia feels that her business has had two major successes so far. The first was the speed with which Loop Services was able to expand its clientele base. The second was a letter she received from the Internal Revenue Service thanking her for all of the people that she has helped with her business. Of this letter, she says, "(the letter) made me really happy because I enjoy helping my customers in whatever they need, even if it is just translating something for them."
In the future, Patricia hopes to expand her business to offer still more services and employment to her Brownsville community. She hopes to begin offering payment services for bills, money transfers, and money orders. Currently, she employs one other person, but she hopes that the expansion of her business will allow her to offer more employment to those who need it.
With this loan, Patricia bought a post box, painted her office, purchased two desks, and installed an office alarm system. She is in the process of dividing her office space into two different offices, reserving one side for public notary and the other for the services she wishes to add. The loan will also pay for the equipment and licenses needed for these new services. Finally, with the remaining money, Patricia will invest in publicity for her business to bring in more clients.
Her experiences in business have led Patricia to advise new entrepreneurs never to lose hope. She says, "I always saw my business as a job; you work to provide good customer service, and, if you're doing well, the clients will come back." With this simple, yet effective, business philosophy, Patricia hopes to continue expanding her business and serving the community around her.

Obama's graphic highlightsLGBT progress
- 2
Sun 22nd Apr, 2012 in International News
As US President Barack Obama's campaign to stay in the White House kicks up a notch, his crew is proud to show off his record of progress on LGBT equality.
"Together, we've fought for equal rights for LGBT American – and the repeal of 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' is just one example of the progress we've achieved since President Obama took office," says his campaign crew.
Allowing transgender Americans to receive true gender passports without surgery, hosting the first-ever White Hosue LGBT reception and lifting the ban on people with HIV/AIDS from entering the United States are among the "three years of progress" on Obama's LGBT timeline. A section appear below – see the whole timeline here.
As for marriage equality, it remains a divisive issue across the United States, and one which Obama has been traditionally reluctant to comment on. However, the Obama administration recently declared the same-sex union-blocking Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional.
And across the various states, the tide is slowly turning. For instance, marriage equality was signed into law in Maryland this month to take effect on January 1 next year.
Meanwhile, after months of Republican candidates bickering amongst themselves, it seems almost certain Mitt Romney, who opposes same-sex marriage like many of his other party heavyweights, will take on Obama in the general election on November 6.

POSSIBLE SHOWERS Abilene Reporter- "WITHOUT OR WITH OFFENSE TO FRIENDS OR FOES WE SKETCH YOUR WORLD EXACTLY AS IT VOL. LXXIII, NO. 338 Aaceiatfd Prew (Af) ABILENE, TEXAS, FRIDAY EVENING, MAY 21, PAGES IN TWO SECTIONS PRICK DAILY 5c, SUNDAY lOc STYMIED? Cease-Fire Talks Reach Crisis Point GENEVA Indochina con- ference returned to closed-door session today with the Western Powers determined to find out quickly whether there is any chance of an armistice. It is generally conceded that the i conference has reached a crucial stage with both the West and the Communists refusing to give ground on basic issues. There were reports that British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden would fly to London Sunday to re- port personally to Prime Minister Churchill. Eden conferred yester- day with both Russia's Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov and Red China's Foreign Minister Chou En- lai. Deadlock Over Demand, The primary purpose of Eden's talks was to break the procedural deadlock which developed Wednes- day over Red demands that the "resistance governments" of Laos and Cambodia be invited to Gen- eva. The West has opposed the de- mand. France labeled the purport- ed governments "phantom re- gimes" which exist only on paper. French sources said the Commu- nist leaders had agreed to drop their demands for the moment, I but this left the two sides as far! apart as ever on the question of getting the conflict stopped. The United States was under- stood to feel further talks are fu- tile, but the American delegation believes France should be the one to decide, when the time comes, to break off negotiations. The French are reluctant to break off talks until they have ex- hausted every possibility because of the difficult internal situation in France. Consultation Due Eden and French Foreign Min- ister Georges Bidault will be in Paris Saturday for the 50th an- niversary of the Entente Cordiale between Britain and France. Bid- ault undoubtedly wfll have an op- portunity to'consult his colleagues on the problem before returning to Geneva. The French have insisted the problem of Laos and Cambodia was separate from that of Viet Nam. The French plan to end the fighting calls for an immediate withdrawal of all Red forces from Laos and Cambodia and a cease- fire in Viet Nam. The Communists, on the other hand, not only are insisting on an armistice in all three Associated State: but also for political settle- ment on some issues before the armistice takes effect.

Sunset last Jay AVERTS PARTY ROW Ike Gives Up Hope Of Lower Tariffs WASHINGTON Ei- senhower appeared today to have averted a threatened election-year clash with some key congressmen hi his own party over the tender topic of tariff walls. He did so by pulling next request for a three- year renewal of the Reciprocal Trade Act with power to lower tariffs an -additional 5 per cent each'year. In a letter released late yester- day, Eisenhower said he still re- garded this hotly controversial program as "indispensable" in the OF SHOT N o Bad Reactions To Vaccine Known CHICAGO WI-Not a single case if serious reaction or death has been reported from among more ftan of. the nation's school children given inoculations of the Salk polio vaccine. Robert F. Korns, a member of the national polio vaccine eval- uation team, made the first official report on the mass experiment yesterday to the annual convention of the Illinois State Medical So- ciety. At the same tune, Dr. Hart E. Van Riper, medical director of the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis, said in New York that the first phase of the nationwide polio tests is completed and is a success. He said children in 44 states have now received the first of a series of three injections. Since the trials started. Dr. Korns said, polio has broken out in Florida, Texas and Michigan and three polio cases have oc- curred among the children in the study group. One of the polio cases is that of a first-grade pupil in Florida who is included' in the study but who did not receive shots of the vac- cine. The other two cases, one in Michigan and one in Texas, re- ceived either the vaccine or an in- iection of a blank substance of no medical value. Half of the chil- dren in those two states got vac- cine and half get the blank sub- stance, and which substance was jiven will not be disclosed until he final stages of the study. Dr. Korns said a final evaluation of the effectiveness of the Salk vaccine probably will not be possi- ble until next year. Dr. Korns, an Albany (N.Y.) Medical College as- sociate professor, is on leave to the Poliomyelitis Vaccine Evaluation Center at the University of Michi- gan in Ann Arbor, Mich. The eval- uation team is now in its fourth week of observation. Dr. Van Riper said more than half the children already have re- ceived their second shots and the final third inoculation will begin the week of May 31. Preliminary surveys showed, he said, "an almost complete return of children" who took first shots, to get the second. Checks in many areas showed only 5 per cent failed to continue the series. "This is an unusually fine show of cooperation for such a vast Dr. Van Riper said. ational interest. But he suggested lat Congress only hold thorough earings on it this year, and take up for action early in 1955. Meanwhile, he said. Congress ould renew the act as it stands or one more year. The present aw expires June 12. Republicans Happy Several high-ranking Republi- ans in Congress who have been eady to fight for higher instead of ower tariffs indicated they would happy, to. postpone the threat- ned battle for another year and imply renew the present act. One of the leading advocates of ligher tariff protection for some American industries is Rep. Dan- el A. Reed chairman of he House Ways and Means Com- littce and oldest Republican in ontinuous service in the House, deed's committee handles tariff also such matters as axes and social security which ave an important place in Eisen- ower's legislative program. Reed said today he was "grati- fied" at the President's new stand, xpressed in a letter to Charles H. 'ercy, president of the Bell and Howell Co. of Chicago. Wants Groups Heard Reed promised full hearings by his committee and termed it "es- recially important" that his group ear testimony from industries md labor groups who say they are being hurt by imports. Another leading advocate of ligher tariffs is Rep. Richard M. iimpson A veteran Ways and Means member, Simpson also leads the Republican Congression- al Campaign Committee, which must work closely with Eisenhow er in its drive to boost or at leasl retain the now-slim GOP margin in the House. On the Senate side, Chairman ifillikin (R-Colo) of the Senate Fi nance Committee has also been a critic of some administration "low .ariff" policies. His group handles tariffs, taxes and other legislation similar to that of the Ways and Ueans Committee, and in addition Millikin heads the Conference o All Republican Senators. He said he would support a one year extension of the Reciproca Trade Act and there were indica tions Reed and Simpson would d likewise. U.S. Unworried by Reds' Buildup Off Formoso Coast WASHINGTON Wl Red China's air command is reported to have concentrated a substantial force of jet fighters and light bombers along the mainland coast opposite Formosa, seat of Chiang Kai-shek's Nationalist government. That buildup apparently has been made since the Korean War's end allowed diversion of air power from Manchuria. The Red buildup in Chekiang province consists almost entirely 6t MIG15 fighters and IL28 twin- jet bombers, information reaching Washington indicates. Although the shift ii receiving attention here, there was no indi- cation today that officials were un- TJuly alarmed over prospects of an immediate move against Formosa. The redeployment appears to have been gradual, a part of a broader which has even larg- er numbers of aircraft to fields to southern China, close to the Indo- china border. The United States still is holding fast to its policy of promising sea and air aid off any in- vasion attempt by the Reds against Formosa. Dispatches from the Far East report Red air sorties over islands off the China mainland which have been seized and held by amphibi- ous forces of Generalissimo Chiang with Nationalist planes challenging these Red air movements. But there has been nothing suggesting direct invasion attempts against Formosa itself. While Washington officials were reluctant to discuss details of the policy for the Forrnosan-China mainland area, the indications are that strikes against the small off- shore islands currently held by Chiang's troops would not be con- sidered a reason for involving U.S. stugt oc aircraft. Most of the ii- City Okays North 16th St. Paving Norh 16th St. from Pine to Cy- press Sts.. will be paved. City Commission authorized it Friday morning upon application from A. T.

Laughs Will Pep Up Your VACATION land positions held by Nationalis troops now were taken after th United States enunciated its For mosan protection policy in 1930, a the start of the Korean War. Former President Truman a that time ordered the 7th Fleet t stand guard against aggressive a tack on Formosa by the Reds and at the same time to restrain! Chiang's forces from operations against the mainland. When Presi- dent Eisenhower, took office, one of his first acts was to strike out the second part of that order. He ordered that the "7th fleet no longer be employed to shield Com- munist China." The 7th Fleet, at approximately the full strength of Korean War days, is still on station in the Far East, maintaining with part of its force patrol over the Korean Straits. The United States also has numerous planes within easy fly- ing distance of Formosa, PREVIEW CONCERT GIVEN First Baptist Organ to Make Everybody Perk Up, Listen ion.

This was reported by Jack Blair, city water production foreman. The last time more than one bil- lion gallons was pumped from the river into the lake in an entire month was last October, Blair said. The latest available reading on the May total was gal- lons as of 6 a.m. Friday. However, one pump which con- tinued in operation all Friday morning, boosted the total past the billion mark, Blair said. The exact amount past a billion gallons will By PHYLLIS SIBLING "If you expect an organ to lead the singing of people, it has to make a racket this one will." And Roy Perry of Kilgore, or- ganist and organ technician, pro- ceeded to prove his point on the new First Baptist Church instru- ment. It does indeed make a racket, but the kind of racket that should make even the most tone-deaf church-goer perk up and listen. Perry, southwest representative for Aeolian-Skinner Organ Co. of Boston, Mass., gave a preview con- cert for members of the church choir and building committee Fri- day morning. Actually, the organ probably won't "be in playing form before May 30, when the congregation will get its first listen, although it might be ready Wednesday. It will take about four more days to tune it, Perry said. 8-Weeks Job Installation of the pipes has taken about eight weeks. First Baptists the majority of them will only see a token part of the organ, the keyboard con- sole where Mrs. Jack Glover will preside. Real heart of the huge instru- ment is mounted three stones up above the choir loft in three organ chambers behimf curtained arches. Pipes 16 Feet The pipes there range from tiny trebles about the size of a lead pencil to the booming contrabass pipes which stand as high as 16 feet tall. At present the organ has 44 ranks of pipes, but the console is equipped for as many as 85, which may be added as needed. Although far from being the largest organ made, the First Bap- tist organ is one of the largest in this part of the country. Its cost is estimated at aboul Dewey Webb, business manager, said. Most of the organ pipes are o metal, except for the big peda and bass pipes, which are more like long, square wooaen boxes with "mouths" for the music to come out of. All of them are set in by hand, and all of the wiring and fitting must be done by band. The different ranks of pipes serve to duplicate or at least rep- esent different instruments in the rchestra like reeds, brass, and trings. The new organ is a far cry from he old pump-organs of 70 years go. It replaces the first pipe or- ran installed in a church between rort Worth and California around 910.

Water Rate Suit Opens Trial of a suit brought by M property owners on Buffalo Gap Road against "the: City of Abilene opened Friday morning before Judge J. B. Black in 42nd Distric Court The property owners are asking that the city be enjoined from charging them the same rate as hat assessed for other water cus- tomers of the city. Their request is based on con- tracts that the city entered into with them when the plaintiffs granted the city easements for constructing and maintaining wa- ter mains across their property. The property owners had been pay- ing .10 cents per gallons of water. On July 31, 1953 the City Boart of Commissioners passed a mo- tion refusing recognition of al :ormer contracts for easements which set definite water rates be- ow the prevailing rate. Eight plaintiffs who testified for their side of the suit Friday morn were Mrs. Bill Moore, J A rr. Jr., Mrs. Edjth Fair, W M. Lewis, W. D. Watkins, A. L Cook, M. R. Caton and U. S. Phil ley. Other witnesses used by the plaintiffs were L. A. Grimes, for mer city water superintendent and City Commissioner A. Crutch er Scott. Testifying for the defendant city were Grimes and C. B. Hicks, city water office manager. R. M. Wagstaff and Jim Hand were attorneys for the plaintiff and Alex Bickley represented the city. Trial of the suit was expecteo to end Friday afternoon. Attempts To Block Probe Seen WASHINGTON (Jfl Democrats on the Senate Investigations sub- committee took a stand today the public is entitled to hear anything "relevant" to the McCarthy-Army dispute in transcripts of monitored telephone calls. They put themselves on record with a stipulation sent to Acting Chairman Mundt (R-SD) authoriz- ing use on that basis of any tran- scripts there may be of their own telephone talks. Their action came as the sub- committee staff prepared for re- opening of the hearings next Men- ay and Sen. McCarthy blasted at he Eisenhower secrecy order as "taking the Fifth Amendment." He'll Be There Quelling speculation be might never go back to the hearings, Mc- Carthy said, "I'll be there Mon- day." The Wisconsin Senator left open, lowever, how long he might re- main. And there were reports might be trying to lay the basil o block any attempt to subpoena his accused staff aides as wit- nesses if he and they decide they hould not testify. McCarthy has repeatedly said during this week's recess that he didn't see how the hearings could ;o ahead if President Eisenhower tept in force his order banning testimony on talks among govern- ment officials about the Army'i differences with McCarthy. Amendment' Talking with newsmen, McCar-5 thy referred to this order as "tak- ing the Fifth constitutional many accused subversives when refusing to testify before the Mc- Carthy subcommittee. Under tin provision, a witness may not be impelled to give incriminating testimony against himself. McCarthy contends it is essential to his case to get testimony from government officials about their talks and the development of the charges against him. 'I don't see why the President should be afraid to let them tell the McCarthy said. McCarthy's stand led to specula- tion he might walk out on the hearings.

Rock climbing is definitely an intensive sport which demands not just bodily training to stay in form but additionally correct diet to keep that very good physical condition. Good nutrition is a critical element in climbing training, enabling climbers to prevent injuries, perform at their maximum level, as well as preserve the best possible health and fitness levels. Below are a few basic nutrition recommendations to take into account:
* Attempt to consume foods which are as fresh as they can be with regard to nutrient quality. The more refined a food, the less vitamins and minerals it has. You need to choose foods that are going to give you the most energy. You will find this helps you in all aspects of your life such as at work or when you're playing about at PartyPoker, it's not just when you are doing physical activities. Complex carbs are your ideal option and include things like whole grain breads as well as pastas, brown rice and also vegetables. These types of foods are a fantastic way to obtain fiber, minerals and vitamins.
* When it comes to protein options, consider lean meat like chicken, turkey and fish. Beef is actually okay if you select extra lean pieces. Do not disregard the high protein, reduced fat advantages of foods such as tofu, cottage type cheese along with eggs. Numerous climbers prefer to make use of whey protein too, mixing it into shakes or adding it to cereal or other cooking. It's low in fat and is among the practically complete protein food items accessible.
* Do not entirely be put off by fat, just make sure to pick the proper type. The good fats include necessary fatty acids which the body requires to remain healthy. Nut products, avocados, olives as well as cold water fish are excellent options. In case these types of foods do not appeal to you, fish oil dietary supplements are a good alternative.
* Just like all healthy diet programs, a rock climbing training diet plan should include lots of water every day, and that is particularly true when climbing. Remaining hydrated is really an essential component of power and stamina. Although some sports beverages are appropriate for hydration, others which contain unwanted sugar, fructose or glucose need to be avoided.
* Endurance is essential to successful climbing and one method to develop stamina as well as prevent exhaustion, would be to maintain your levels of insulin constant. Although a raise in insulin might make you feel energized in the beginning, you will start to feel fatigued as the spike levels off. It's much better to avoid sugar spikes and maintain things level. That is very easily accomplished by consuming smaller meals at shorter intervals. It is suggested that you eat every 3 to 4 hours in order to regulate sugar levels.
* Inspite of all your best efforts to eat well and stay in best physical condition, you will likely end up feeling hungry or weak throughout a longer climb, or whenever good food options are not available. For these occasions, it's important to keep a meal replacement bar or shake available.
* A multi vitamin supplement is definitely recommended simply to increase these minerals and vitamins that may be missing in your diet plan.

Apple Cinnamon Crumble
by Two Peas on November 19, 2012
Happy Thanksgiving week! The countdown is on! Are you ready for the big day? I finally decided on our menu. Whew. I am glad that is done. Now, we just have to buy the groceries and make everything. No biggie. We are keeping it simple this year since we are hosting a small group.
Josh is making a rotisserie turkey in our Thermador oven . We will also have salad , sourdough stuffing , mashed potatoes, cranberry orange sauce , roasted vegetables, potato rolls , and Apple Cinnamon Crumble for dessert. That's right, no pumpkin pie. Gasp! I love pumpkin , you know that, but not in pie form. It's a texture thing. Instead, we will be enjoying Apple Cinnamon Crumble with vanilla ice cream. Happy Thanksgiving to us!
- 8 cups peeled, cored, and sliced apples
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Accy Staney were still 2-0 up the 88th minute against the League leaders Chesterfield earlier this afternoon...a goal in the 88th minute and an equalizer in the 90+4th minute cost up dearly...we need to play to the final whistle..switched off with 15 mins to go and cost us 2 valuable points.
on 03-01-2011 7:18 PM
Shame that mate 4 mins !
Could have been worse - Man U time :-D
on 03-01-2011 7:19 PM
Was gutted for you mate we would have gone just 1 point behind chesterfield if it had stayed 1-0 still only two points behind fancying our chances at the minute playing some good football the mighty millers.....nice to see others scoring too instead of relying on le fondre.....just hope our usual terrible run in doesnt arive this year
on 03-01-2011 7:31 PM
I am really pleased with Malky's young side. Unbeaten in 7 and 5 consecutive wins. I cannot remember ever seeing them 100% over a Christmas/New Year programme of games before now. Today's match was always a tough one. Survived a penalty and three floodlight failures, plus captain John Eustace was out injured, so very pleased with the 2-1 away win. :-)
The biggest enemy right now is the transfer window. Malky has his work cut out holding on to key players. There has been talk of a possible new owner since early December, but nothing has happened. Without that, the club clearly needs to raise funds/cut costs. Not easy to do that and maintain a play off place. It's going to be an interesting month for the club. Just speculation alone can put pressure on players, especially youngsters, so Malky has a lot on his plate.
QPR aside, the game is on for several clubs chasing 2nd place and the play offs, so it is making it lots of fun each week.
on 03-01-2011 7:33 PM
Alex - despite the late goals, at least Accy got something out of the game. The top teams are very good at pushing hard until the final second of a game.
on 03-01-2011 8:02 PM
If we were offered 4 out of 6 points from the two games since New Years day we'd have gladly taken them.
We will struggle to hold onto our N0 7 Jimmy Ryan when the transfer windows opens soon..he was man of the match again today...too good for league two and we know that. Good luck to him.
on 03-01-2011 8:32 PM
alex,support a proper team ,like utd,then you wont have all these worries:-)
on 03-01-2011 9:17 PM
Daz - I have had more excitement following a smaller team than any big team could ever offer me with all their trophies. Supporters of smaller teams take less for granted. My highlight was seeing every game home and away (literally every kick - I have never left a game before the final whistle) for two promotion seasons and two relegation seasons in the space of the five seasons. That really is the ultimate rollercoaster ride of excitement and emotions that most big team supporters will never know.
on 03-01-2011 10:04 PM
nigel,i can understand that,the emotion and excitement aspect happens more often i suppose in such circumstances,less of a for gone conclusion:-)
on 03-01-2011 10:29 PM
Here , Here Nigel.
I'm always one od the last out..have to get the IP graphs after the match....Nice haul again today from the Chesterfield lads...I'll have those on here toomrrow.
You can't beat supporting your local team no matter which league they are in. I wouldn't swap Stanleyfor anyone.
on 05-01-2011 11:18 AM
Lets talk......shoes :-D
on 08-01-2011 6:43 PM
Accrington Stanley 1 Bury FC 0
Joe Jacobson our "on loan" defender from Oldham Athetic
nets with his head in the 77th minute to send Stanley 5 places up the League 2 table to 13th position. Bury who are hovering around the play-off places were poor today and we deserved our win. Well done lads.
Ian Dowie was sat behind me in the stand today..Nice bloke and happy to sign a card for me.
on 08-01-2011 7:17 PM
Good result Alex. Next couple of games will be important for Accy. 6pts off playoffs, 9pts above drop zone. Time to pull away and challenge 6th place.
A little factoid from Watford's 4-1 win over Hartlepool in the cup - seven of Watford's starting lineup were products of the youth academy. Come the day when the powers that be in the game realise it will be common sense to enforce at least 4 or 5 home grown players in each starting lineup, Watford will be well placed to adhere.
on 08-01-2011 7:31 PM
Well done Stevenage - brilliant. :-)
on 08-01-2011 9:20 PM
And well done Burton Albion . Celtic play Berwick Rangers away in the Scottish Cup tomorrow they put Rangers out of the Cup in 1967 so we don't want a repeat of that . I hear Freddie Ljungberg might be making his debut for Celtic .The last big name player to make his Celtic debut in a Scottish Cup game was Roy Keane , Clyde beat us 1-0 that day :-( I'm sure we have learned from that .
on 08-01-2011 10:30 PM
Newcastle never got out of second gear and were hit by a rampant Stevenage who have pulled off one of the biggest shocks in the history of the FA Cup.
All three North east Clubs beaten by lower league oponents. What a grim day for supporters of all 3 clubs.
on 15-01-2011 6:32 PM
Another Stanley win away from home..Today we beat Cheltenham..Terry Gornell scoring 6 mins before half time to put Accy in front...Thomas equalized for Cheltenham in the 83rd minute but hat still gave Liam Richardson enough time to bag the winner...Come on you Reds.:-D
moving swiftly up the table away from the relegation places. Can't ask for anything more.
on 15-01-2011 7:58 PM
Fingers crossed Accy keep the run going Alex. I am gobsmacked at Watford's form. Unbeaten in 9 games. 7 consecutive wins now (6 of them in the league). The big test is next week away to Cardiff. Still don't know if the buy out will happen or if we will keep everyone.
on 05-02-2011 5:07 PM
Stanley were 2-0 down with just 2 minutes to go today...Terry Gornell pulls one back in the 88th minute and Captain Andy Procter scores in the final minute to salvage a point down at Stevenage...Come on you Reds.
Only 3 weeks ago we were 2-0 up against league 2 leaders Chesterfield with only 2 mins left for them to do similar...we are learning from our mistakes...keep going till the final whistle is blown lads.... Happy days.
on 05-02-2011 5:11 PM
Well done on that result Alex, we lost for the first time since December 11th gutted as dropped a place and all teams behind us seemed to have won! :-(

When Steven Haataja came to this remote corner of Nebraska, where cowboy hats are still worn for work and rodeo trophies greet visitors...
CHADRON, Neb. — When Steven Haataja came to this remote corner of Nebraska, where cowboy hats are still worn for work and rodeo trophies greet visitors to the local college, it was supposed to be a new beginning for the mathematician who had just earned his doctorate.
But just seven months later, in March, Haataja was found burned to death in fire-scarred hills south of Chadron State College, where he taught.
According to a source close to the investigation, Haataja was burned and bound, though it's not clear how. He died of smoke and soot inhalation, along with "thermal injuries," authorities said last month.
"When you see something like that, somebody in that kind of condition, you just hope they catch whoever did it," said Mike Bloom, one of two ranchers who found the body.

Most Read Stories
Haataja, with his large frame and fedora hat, was more visible than most on Chadron's wide, Western streets for a simple reason: He didn't own a working car and he walked everywhere from his downtown apartment, including to the college a mile away.
He disappeared from this town of 5,600 in December. Police saw no signs that he planned to leave and have acknowledged they did little to search for the professor.
"We could've searched these remote areas for days and days and days, but where do you start?" acting Chadron Police Chief Margaret Keiper said.
After months of near-silence about the case and criticism that authorities have been slow to investigate, more information was supposed to be released today at a news conference.
Residents say it is long overdue. Without any answers, the intensity of the speculation over Haataja's death has "gotten crazy," said Kit Reeves, who works across the street from where the professor lived.
"Some people are freaked out," Reeves said. "Was he just randomly picked on, or was there a reason?"
In the fervor, former City Councilman Morgan Muller and others said they worried that Haataja was the victim of a hate crime. Kelen Kahrs said he and other students wondered whether their professor was singled out because of his effeminate mannerisms.
Haataja's best friend, Tim Sorenson, said the professor was not gay, and police wouldn't say whether they believe it was a hate crime.
Others suggest that Haataja, who had been hospitalized early last year for depression, committed suicide.
But it would have been difficult for Haataja, 46, to make the journey himself to the rough hills where his body was found. He suffered a broken hip in March 2005 while ice skating, and the accident made the already cautious Haataja even more careful, Sorenson said. He avoided walking on bumpy sidewalks and stepping over objects more than a couple of feet high.
Fellow professors at Chadron State said their colleague was looking to the future.
Assistant professor Phil Cary said Haataja didn't isolate himself and liked to chat with co-workers.
"I know a person can hide depression, but I didn't see any of it," Cary said.
"This is the most mysterious thing that's ever happened here," said Con Marshall, a lifelong area resident who has worked at Chadron State College for 38 years.

A unique clothing drive launched by a local plastic surgeon has garnered an unexpected amount of support from the community.
Bartenders at a downtown pub, a floral shop owner and dozens of the surgeon's patients have joined forces to help give women in Haiti a lift.
Or, more precisely, the Gift of Lift.
The Southwest Medical Group Plastic Surgery office unveiled last month its Gift of Lift campaign to collect new or lightly used bras for women in the third-world country.
The fundraiser is already shaping up to be a huge success. In four weeks, the community has rallied behind Dr. Allen Gabriel to collect more than 750 polka dot, zebra print and brightly colored bras.
"It definitely shocked us all," said Shelby Gialich, a medical assistant and plastic surgery clinic supervisor.
As word spread about the campaign, residents and business owners throughout the county lined up to help.
Andie Lovelady, a bartender at Shanahan's Pub & Grill in downtown Vancouver, was among the first to reach out to Gabriel.
"When I thought about what it would be like as a woman not to be able to afford to own a bra, or be able to provide one for a daughter, it broke my heart," Lovelady said.
Every Wednesday, Lovelady and her co-worker Misty Winders place a clear tub full of bras on the bar while they work. Throughout the evening, customers drop their donations into the bin. In three weeks, the pair has collected about 150 bras.
"It's such an easy thing that we can all give," Lovelady said.
In exchange for a new bra, the donor is entered into a raffle for a $100 gift card to Victoria's Secret, purchased by Lovelady and Winders. The drawing will be held Dec. 14.
Men and women, young and old, have dropped off donations at Shanahan's. Some only have $10 or $15 to spare, but they use it to purchase a new undergarment for the Gift of Lift, Lovelady said.
"That customer base is just very generous and always want to help," she said. "It's pretty cool."
The owners of a Vancouver floral shop have also joined the campaign.
Kurt and Brenda Snyder own Garside Florist on East Mill Plain Boulevard. One of their employees was diagnosed with breast cancer a few years ago and underwent re
constructive surgery performed by Gabriel. When the Snyders learned of the Gift of Lift, they were eager to help in honor of their employee, Tammy Watson.
"I was just really inspired," Brenda Snyder said.
So Snyder set up a donation bin inside the floral shop and started soliciting bras on the sign outside of the business. Anyone who drops off a bra at Garside Florist through Dec. 16 will be entered in a drawing to win one dozen pink long-stem roses.
Raising the bar
The shop just launched the raffle last week and has already collected a few donations. The efforts of the two businesses, coupled with the patients and community members who dropped off donations at the medical clinic, have brought the total number of bras to more than 750.
Initially, the medical office set its goal at 500 bras by Jan. 1. In response to the outpouring of support, the staff has raised the bar. The new goal: 1,000 bras.
The success of the event has also prompted the office to continue the drive beyond the new year. In addition, the office plans to partner with organizations and volunteers in order to spread the support to other countries besides just Haiti, Gialich said.
"I think it's one of those things we take for granted," she said. "And once it's brought to our attention, we want to pay it forward."

A "beauty spot", wonky nose or a lopsided grin are a turnoff, according to a study published today that shows that symmetry is sexy.
Research to find whether symmetrical faces are more or less attractive in the UK and the Hadza of Tanzania, one of the last hunter gatherer cultures, has found that a symmetrical face is indeed a turn on, whatever your culture.
The find, resulting from presenting a series of faces for inspection by 80 Britons and 40 Hadza challenges feminist ideas, epitomised by the American writer Naomi Wolf, who argued that there is no such thing as a quality called beauty that "objectively and universally exists".
Even the father of evolution, Charles Darwin was struck by cultural differences in attractiveness. He wrote: "It is certainly not true that there is in the mind of man any universal standards of beauty with respect to the human body."
Today, in the Proceedings of the Royal Society, Biological Sciences, research by Dr Anthony Little of the University of Stirling, working with colleagues Coren Apicella at Harvard University and Frank Marlowe Florida State University, shows that symmetry transcends racial and national boundaries: a lopsided face is less attractive to both Hadza and Britons, so that the age-old idea that beauty is in the eye of the beholder is a romantic myth.
This adds to mounting evidence that our appreciation of beauty has a deep-seated biological explanation: the attraction of a face gives a profound insight into whether our intended will efficiently pass our genes on to future generations.
" Symmetry has been shown to be important in mate-choice in many animals.
For example, female Swallows prefer males with symmetrical tail feathers," said Dr Little. "While there may be cultural variation in preferences for other traits, we show that symmetry in faces is attractive across two very different cultures."
Coren Apicella added that the Hadza live in small bands and survive by hunting and gathering and " have very little exposure to Western standards of beauty having seen only a few White people. "
However, the Hadza had stronger preferences for symmetry than those in the UK.
They speculate that symmetry may be more important among the Hadza because they have much higher mortality rates from birth onwards.
"The harder life of the Hadza might make traits associated with quality, like symmetry, more important in a partner," said Dr Little. "Those men seen as the best hunters were choosier.
This might reflect that such men are more valued by women and then can set higher standards for their partners."
"This suggests that Darwin was both right and wrong - face symmetry is a generally attractive trait across cultures but there also exists variability in preference for symmetry between cultures," said Dr Little.
From the cold-eyed perspective of Darwinian evolution, the mating game has a single purpose: to mix our genes with another person's to help ours survive and propagate - the more the better.
We seek a partner with good looks because this is a biological advert that says good genes are to be found in this particular body to help our own genes thrive in the next generation.
Lopsidedness is thought to reflect how development in the womb has been derailed by poor health, alcohol and tobacco use and studies have shown that women partnered to men with symmetrical bodies have the most orgasms, and those with symmetrical breasts are more fertile than those less evenly endowed.
