As country music legend Bill Anderson introduced the final performer during the Grand Ole Opry's show on Saturday, January 11, Nashville's Ryman Auditorium erupted with thunderous applause. Eric Church was greeted to a lengthy standing ovation prior to even singing a note or strumming a single chord.
Accompanied with only his electric guitar, Eric, clad in his leather jacket and signature shades, addressed the attentive crowd.
"I've missed being here at the Opry, we ain't been here in a while. I was gonna play this real introspective songwriter stuff, but then you guys are just rowdy, like you always are," he laughed.
He continued, "So I'll tell you what. I'll give you a little bit of both. We got a new album coming out in February, so I'm gonna play you a song or two nobody's heard, tonight."
He launched his set with "Give Me Back My Hometown," his latest single. His vocals, dripping with emotion, echoed through the relatively small venue. If there is one thing fans can count on during an Eric Church performance, it's passion and believability. The material is so fresh that Eric missed the line, "My friends try to cheer me up" during the song's live debut.
"My son is at his first Opry performance; he's two years old. I'm gonna play this song, nobody's heard this song, it's on the next album, and it's the first time. There was a time in my youth that I never thought I would ever be thirty-six years old. I thought I would punch the clock a long time ago with how I've lived," Eric declared.
He followed that statement with "A Man Who's Gonna Die Young." In a catalog that bridges multiple musical genres, this philosophical tune is a standout.
The self-proclaimed Church Choir was in full force at the Nashville show. Random shouts of "Sinners" and "Springsteen" could be heard from fans scattered across the venue. Unlike typical Opry performances, most audience members opted to stand through the entire duration of Eric's set.
"Drink In My Hand," Eric's first number one single, prompted a group sing along, complete with hand clapping and howling. It was a musical departure from his super-amped version with his full band, but still incredibly captivating.
"I was talking about my son; I was talking about Boone earlier. There's a song on the new album, it's called, "Dark Side," and it's that thing that I think that every dad or every parent [experiences] when you have a child, it's that primal protective thing. This song is about that," Eric allowed.
Eric's stop-you-in-your-tracks "Dark Side" was a fitting final number of his four song set.
The intimacy of hearing a musician perform a self-penned song with just a guitar accompanying him is truly a rarity in an industry where auto-tune and production tricks rule. Eric Church has certainly mastered the act of creating meaningful art while remaining true to his roots. His artistic maturity has taken him to another level and his performance at the Grand Ole Opry proved that.
Eric Church summed up his new material best when he aptly he told the Opry crowd, "As far as The Outsiders record, it is the sh**."

Car Lust - 1969 Corvette Stingray
Long have I lusted for a Corvette. Not just any Vette mind you, but the earlier version of the Stingray. A 1969 Corvette with the 427 cubic inch big block nestled comfortably under the hood. One kind of like this:
Thanks for asking. It goes back to my impressionable childhood....
I was outside playing on the lawn with the dog when I heard some shouting, then a house door slam. Moments later a car door slammed, and I heard a tremendous growl coming from their garage. Gear change, hit the gas and the 'Vette laid rubber down the driveway as the guy backed out into the street. A moment to shift gears, drop the hammer, and he smoked the tires about half a block leaving matching black stripes the whole way.
This wasn't just car lust, it was love at first sight.
So I've spent the last 30+ years of my life wanting one of these cars, cursed without the funds to track one down to build back up. Steve J. Lindsay has done a project rebuild on a nearly identical car (though my memory doesn't include side pipes, I do think I'd add them on as well).
I think I'd be inclined to stick with the 427 if at all possible. I'd also go with Corvette yellow given my preference. T-tops, while at times known to be leaky, are almost a must. And as I mentioned, I think the side pipes are sexy. Posi in the rear, and I'd want a manual transmission without question. Not something I'd race, but I'd want to upgrade brakes and rubber and suspension so it really would hold the road well. I'd ditch period correct rims for something with a bit more style, though not bling rims. The shapes and curves of the body are where the eye should rightly rest on this car, and everything else should be adding to it, not taking away.
Clearly I'm not a purist looking to do a period correct restoration. I'd happily swap in more comfortable seats, and it would have to get some sound as well. Since space is pretty limited in this model of Corvette, I might have to settle for a single small subwoofer in a custom box, but I'd find room for it somewhere.
The best set of specs I've found on the '69 Corvette comes from the aptly named http://www.69corvette.com/69specs.html

The photos come from Steve J. Lindsay's page chronicling his Corvette rebuild. Worth clicking through for his other photos and a bit of his story on the rebuild.

I have a database/spreadsheet of information that I need to make a very detailed report from. My knowledge on Access is quite limited so I started doing a mock up of the Report layout in Excel and made this:
So from there, I need the information from the data base to be placed in the properly labeled cells. There are over 2500+ entries in the spreadsheet/database, so if creating a report that looks pretty spot on to the one above in access is doable, that might be an easier route.

Åsa Sjöström, Amirtharaj Stephen Win 6th Annual Activist Awards
Åsa Sjöström has won the $15,000 Activist Award for professional photographers, while Amirtharaj Stephen has won the $5,000 award for emerging photographers, Catchlight has announced.
Formerly known as PhotoPhilanthropy, Catchlight sponsors the Activist Awards to recognize photographic excellence in service of NGOs addressing a variety of social issues.
Sjöström's winning essay, called The Secret Camps, explores the issue of domestic violence through her images of women and children taking temporary refuge in summer camps operated by the Women's Rights Association of Malmö, Sweden. "I want to create awareness and also to induce a genuine situation between me and the people in my photographs," the photographer told Catchlight.
In a prepared statement about this year's award winners, jurors praised Sjöström's project for a "visually distinctive approach" that captures a transformational time for victims of domestic violence and that "brings attention to an issue that affects women and children all over the world."
Finalists for the professional prize were Annalisa Natali Murri and Sergi Camara. (more…)

The PAWS program was designed to assist new student-athletes with their transition to SIUC. The first year of college is, for many, the most challenging and stressful year of a young person's life. This transition from high school includes concerns relating to academic, athletic, career, social and personal issues.
Through the PAWS program, seminars are presented during the Fall and Spring semesters. All new student-athletes are required to attend these presentations. Seminars are presented on the following topics:
These presentations provide the student-athletes with helpful information, as well as allowing them to interact with the academic support staff and individuals on campus.
When appropriate, the PAWS program matches new student-athletes in a mentoring relationship with peer advisors. Solid role models are more important now than ever, especially for student-athletes who face a unique set of pressures and responsibilities the minute they arrive on campus.

The trigeminal circuit relays somatosensory input from the face into the central nervous system. In central nuclei, the spatial arrangement of neurons reproduces the physical distribution of peripheral receptors, thus generating a somatotopic facial map during development. In mice, the ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular trigeminal nerve branches maintain a somatotopic segregation and generate spatially organized patterns of connectivity within hindbrain target nuclei. To investigate conservation of somatotopic organization, we compared trigeminal nerve organization in turtle, chick, and mouse embryos. We found that, in the turtle, mandibular and maxillary ganglion neuron rostrocaudal segregation and trigeminal tract somatotopy are similar to mouse. In contrast, chick mandibular ganglion neurons are located rostrally to maxillary neurons, with some intermingling, supporting previous observations (Noden [1980], J Comp Neurol 190:429–444). This organization results in an inversion of the relative positions and less precise axonal sorting of the maxillary and mandibular branches within the trigeminal tract, as compared to mouse and turtle. Moreover, using the turtle and chick orthologs of Drg11 in combination with Hoxa2 expression and axonal tracings from the periphery, we mapped the chick PrV nucleus position to rhombomere 1, confirming previous studies (Marin and Puelles [1995], Eur J Neurosci 7:1714–1738) and in contrast to mouse PrV, which mainly maps to rhombomere 2–3 (Oury et al. [2006], Science 313:1408–1413). Thus, somatotopy of trigeminal ganglion and nerve organization is only partially conserved through amniote evolution, possibly in relation to the modification of facial somatosensory structures and morphologies.

By Alli Kartachak, WTC Stratcom
If anyone is a testament to the power of adaptive reconditioning on the healing process, it is Elizabeth Wasil. As a combat medic on assignment in Afghanistan in 2010, she sustained bilateral hip injuries, impeding her ability to walk, and underwent three surgeries to restructure her hips in order to regain mobility.
Today, the specialist from Prescott Valley, Arizona is defying the odds. Her participation in adaptive reconditioning activities and the 2012 Warrior Games propelled her military and athletic career and brought her from 'injured Soldier' to the first Paralympic swimmer in the U.S. World Class Athlete Program (WCAP).
This year, she continues to shine at the 2013 Warrior Games, stealing the bronze for women's hand cycling for the Army on May 13 at the U.S. Air Force Academy. She is also slated to compete in the track and field events as an Army athlete at this year's competition.
I took some time with the bronze medalist after her hand cycling win to ask her a few questions:
Q: What does being a part of Warrior Games mean to you?
A: It means that I get to represent the Army and participate with some of the world's finest athletes and surround myself with humble heroes.
Q: How did adaptive reconditioning help you in your transition/ road to recovery?
A: Adaptive reconditioning led me to the Warrior Games. It took me from someone who was injured into an athlete in the WCTP. It launched my career and gave me a chance to compete with some of the best athletes out there.
Q: What would you say to other wounded, ill or injured Soldiers about the value of adaptive reconditioning?
A: I would say that it has changed my life. I would tell wounded, ill or injured athletes to just try it – give adaptive reconditioning a chance and see what it can do for you.
Q: As a member of the WCTP do you have your sights set on Rio for the 2016 Paralympic Games?
A: I'm hopeful! It is a possibility.
Q: Anything else that you would like to add?
A: Thank you to Army leadership – especially to MSG Jongema. He's been a true leader and has poured his heart out into this competition. I don't think he can ever get the recognition he deserves for all that he has done.
Thank you Spc. Wasil for your inspirational messages – you are a symbol of hope for so many wounded, ill and injured Soldiers.
WARRIOR GAMES MEDAL UPDATE: After this interview took place, Spc. Wasil has won gold in the Women's Track 1500M Wheelchair event. See the full list of Warrior Games results at http://www.teamusa.org/US-Paralympics/Military/Warrior-Games-presented-by-Deloitte/Competition-Results.aspx.

The MLB Power rankings for Week 14 are out and three of the bigger under dogs on the Las Vegas board are leading the way. If you took a poll back in March and asked how many people thought the A's, Blue Jays and Brewers would be the three best teams in baseball heading into July, not many people would have believed it.
According to a Sportsline standings report on June 25, the A's and Brewers are tied for most wins in the big leagues with 47 and seem to be getting better as the season progresses. The season half way point (81 games) for most teams has either passed or will do so this week, and for those fans who thought Toronto and Milwaukee were a fluke a month ago, guess again!
Both Toronto and Milwaukee have been doing well at all three phases of the game - pitching, hitting and defense. Right now the top four teams on the Las Vegas odd makers board to win the 2014 World Series, the Tigers, Nationals, Dodgers and Cardinals, are all seemingly a bit on cruise control (in other words winning just enough to stay on top of their division or lead the early Wild Card chase).Tthe current top three teams are showing they may have what it takes to be there in October.
There is a lot of baseball left to be played, but if the A's, Blue Jays and Brewers aren't playing meaningful games in August and September it would mean they had a terrible collapse. As a matter of fact, all three teams should be in the playoff race this fall even if they just play .500 or .550 ball from here on out. It's been a while since Toronto has seen playoff baseball but 2014 could be the comeback year.
Here is a look at the Week 14 MLB Power rankings.

Have Leash Will TravelBy Rick Griffin on October 13th, 2008

"… we can hold each other's lea-. No."
Shot down!
"Shot through the heart, and you're to blame! You give love a bad name!"
… dunno why I thought of that…
That's weird you said that, I had the song stuck in my head all day today. o_o
Funny, I hadn't even looked at the 4th panel yet, and already I knew what was coming from the word "loophole."
Great joke at the end – 'specially how Grape is cutting Peanut off before he finishes that bad idea. XD
Do we get to see Peanut and Grape talking to the zoo animals?
That sounds like something Satchel would say from Get Fuzzy.
Probably for the best… Don't want to give Peanut ideas… or Grape for that matter.
*sigh* And amusing classic sci fi references are so hard to come by nowadays…
Love this one, especially Grape's response. Kinda curious as to what "animal etiquette" means… Guess we'll find out thanks to the loophole. (does anyone imagine them wearing leashes like a fashion statement? Like an oddly fashionable tie? Just a weird thought.)
lol Poor peanut grape probly thinks hes lost his ming XD
That's a really nice loophole seeing as my friend does that to me… I love the last panel.
and yeah, Grape might have perceived Peanut's offer as something more; but then again, he IS a cat-lover…
Beard makes me happy. c:
For just a second there, in the last panel, from Peanut's expression and the way he holds his arms, I could've sworn I saw some Daisy in him. ^^
Ooops… Sasha, not Daisy. Daisy's from a different comic…
This is the first time a human face is actually seen, right?
Correct me if I'm wrong
"Maybe we could hold each other's–"
Good work.
I think Peanut had some SM thoughts when he wanted to make that suggestion xD
Holding your own leash is the best loophole ever.
Yay for loopholes. Also its good this isn't a Calvin and Hobbes joke as those where getting old.
Cute as always ^_^ keep up the great work.

"I'm getting someone with the name Jane, or maybe John, June, Jude. Does this mean anything to anyone?"
If you've ever seen a psychic, you've probably heard a statement like the one above. In the world of cold reading it's called "fishing". And it's just one of the ways "psychics" use to make it appear they have contact with spirits.
The term cold reading refers to strategies used by mentalists and fraudulent psychics and mediums to give the impression they can psychically discern personal information about someone. The reading is cold because it does not depend on any prior knowledge of the client. Instead, the "psychic" combines careful observations of the client's characteristics and behavior with a series of guesses that are based on deduction, knowledge of probabilities, and the use of general statements, also called "Barnum" statements that are readily accepted by a large number of people as being true of themselves.
There are many "fakes" out there making a lot of money convincing people they are real. Recently, John Edward appeared on Dr. Phil, the late night talk shows, and even had a show of his own called "Crossing Over." Before him there was Sylvia Brown who made a splash on The Montel Williams show. Currently, Theresa Caputo, the Long Island Medium has a show on TLC. These are great entertainers, but are they really psychic?
Here's how some do it. First they set the scene. They present themselves as professionals. They may put on a show of being a bit shy about their "gift" at first. They may try to manage your expectation by saying things like, "I will try to answer any questions…" or "I will aim to contact…"
They will use your physical characteristic to determine things about you. They will use gender, age, weight, scars, ethnicity, and type of clothing, jewelry, voice, vocabulary and so forth to build a stereotype of you. They will make deductions about you. Part of being a psychic or medium is being a bit of a "Sherlock Holmes." An example would be someone who has a tan line where a wedding ring once was indicates a recent divorce or separation. Expensive jewelry or clothing may indicate some affluence. Certain types of clothing might indicate interests, occupation or hobby.
Once they've stereotyped you they might start use general "Barnum" statements (named after the famous showman P.T. Barnum). A Barnum statement might sound like, "You have much potential" or "You have a need for others to like and admire you, but you tend to be critical of yourself." These statements in themselves are generally true about most people. When someone tells you, "While you have some personality weakness, you are generally able to compensate for them" or "At times you are extroverted and sociable, while at other times you are introverted, wary, and reserved" are they not true about you?
Then the cold reader will start fishing, "The name Jane is significant in some way," or "I'm getting something about a car crash." Fishing allows the cold reader to get you to give them information that later on you think they gave you. They observe your responses and reaction to fish further. They may ask questions in a negative to make sure they are correct either way. For example, "You're not married, are you?" or "You're not an only child, are you?" Either way you answer they are correct. If you answer "Yes, I am married," The answer comes back as, "I thought so." If you answer, "No, I'm not married," the answer comes back as, "I didn't think so." Either way, the spirits gave them a hint.
Here's a classic example. A cold reader might say something like, "I am getting something about a Will." Here a Will could be someone named William, Bill, Billy, Will, or it can be a legal document…a will.
If all else fails, a cold reader will revert to an "out." If they can't get things to go their way, they may blame the spirits, "The spirits are just not cooperating today." Or they may blame you, "You just need to open your heart to this," or "You'll understand this better later."
You see, they are playing you for some reason. And it is at times very easy to play on the heart-strings of those who have lost someone. Before you jump on the, "this person is awesome" wagon. Listen carefully to their words. Are they truly divining to the spirit word, or are they just fishing?

The Power Train Saver protects trucks of all sizes from over-torque damage. Installed into the existing drive shaft, it works on a system of three shear pins, called torque fuses, that are engineered and tensile-tested to precisely shear just prior to the power train breaking point. When over-torque occurs, the torque fuses shear, preventing damage to the drive shaft, axles, gears, and differentials. After shearing, the unit freewheels on an internal support bushing and pin that keeps the drive shaft in place rather than falling to the ground and causing other damage. Repair is just a matter of backing off the nuts and replacing the broken torque fuses. In about 15 minutes it can be up and operating again, eliminating costly downtime and repairs.

Employment of persons with disabilities
Activities in the field of employment aim at completing or enlarging the provisions of Recommendation N° R (92) 6 on a coherent policy for people with disabilities (chapter VI on vocational guidance and training and chapter VII on employment).
According to the concept of "employment in a usual and ordinary working environment for all cases where the person with a disability could be judged to be fit normal employment", activities carried out from 1993 to 1996 focused on transition from sheltered to ordinary employment.
From 1997 to 1999 they were devoted to employment strategies in the ordinary working environment with the analysis of the concept of supported employment, the study of the role and responsibilities of employers organisations, trade unions and associations of persons with disabilities in the drawing up of such strategies including ways and means of implementing them.
The transition from sheltered to ordinary employment, 1996
In this report sheltered employment and different systems in force in the countries studied are replaced within the general context of vocational integration of people with disabilities, by proposing a dynamic concept of sheltered work, an active placement policy and the definition of accompanying measures.
Sheltered employment in five member States of the Council of Europe: Austria, Finland, Norway, Sweden and Switzerland, 1997
This study expands to five more countries that on sheltered employment published in 1992 by the Commission of the European Communities which had then twelve member States. In view of the disparity of the concept of sheltered employment throughout the European States, a broad view of what constitutes sheltered employment has been adopted. This study also deals with the transition from sheltered to ordinary employment.
Vocational training and rehabilitation of people with disabilities: a comparative analysis, 1997
This comparative analysis focuses on four main aspects: education, vocational training, guidance to employment and sheltered workshops. It shows that in the fifteen countries concerned, all advocating equal opportunities and the right to independence, persons with disabilities receive appropriate education and integrated education is to the fore.
Employment strategies to promote equal opportunities for persons with disabilities on the labour market, 2000
A new approach is developed in this report which works out an integral plan of action with an active and co-ordinated participation of many actors. It insists on innovative measures, and highlights examples of good practice developed in the member States.

Now is the perfect time for you to head to your local fishing hole to catch some big crappie. The weather has been warming a little and the water temperatures are great for finding some big slabs. Local reports have shown that a lot of crappie is being caught around the Santee area and in Manning, South Carolina. All across the southeast reports have mirrored South Carolina.
All you need to do is decide which type of bait or lure you want to use. I prefer to use live bait when I get the chance. Minnows are perfect for this time of year since the crappies are suspended down around 5 feet or so depending on the overall depth of where you are fishing. Using very light weights will allow the minnows to move around and be more effective in getting the crappie's attention.
If you want to go the route of artificial baits, you cannot go wrong with using Road Runner spinning lures. They are extremely effective in catching nice crappie. You may want to use a bit more line strength as this lure will also get the attention of some smaller largemouth bass that are looking for an early spring snack. Jigs are also a great choice, fishing them the same depth as you would the minnows.

Information for the Beneficiaries of The Baily Thomas Provident Fund
(Former Employees of Mansfield Brewery)
The Baily Thomas Beneficiaries meeting took place on Tuesday 9th June
at The Towers, Mansfield ... click here for full details
This magazine aims to give news and information about the Baily Thomas Provident fund and the existing Sports and Social activities of ex Mansfield Brewery personnel.
The Baily Thomas Provident Trust funds the magazine but comments and articles of interest from you the beneficiaries will be most welcome.
Closing date for information to be included in the next issue: 15th Sept 2009
Many thanks to everyone who contributed to this publication
Over 100 beneficiaries of the Baily Thomas Provident Fund attended the open meeting on 9th June 2009, presented by Trustees Richard Chadburn and Browne Jacobson Trustees Limited. The meeting was an opportunity for members to comment on the services provided by the Baily Thomas Fund and to bring forward new ideas that may benefit the beneficiaries.
Browne Jacobson Trustees is the trustee arm of Browne Jacobson LLP, a large Midlands law firm with its HQ in Nottingham, which was selected by Richard Chadburn and previous trustee, The Public Trustee, on its retirement three years ago. William Colacicchi, senior partner of Browne Jacobson and a director of Browne Jacobson Trustees Limited, introduced his colleagues - Wenna Thompson (partner), Bindu Kotecha (chartered accountant) and Linda Wilson (administrator).
The meeting was opened by Richard Chadburn who gave a short presentation on how the BT Fund was set up and how it has been reviewed and updated since its inception. This work continues.
William Colacicchi explained the rules for eligibility to the fund, i.e. those persons employed by Mansfield Brewery on or before 21 December 1999, and their spouse/partner and children under the age of 18 unless they are in full time education.
The fund was worth £28,995,680 at 5th April 2009. Trustees are advised on investment matters by Grant Thornton LLP (investment advisors).
Mrs. Bindu Kotecha gave details of the income and expenditure of the fund for the past year. Gross income was £1,074,787.
The fund will be wound up in 2050 and all remaining money will go to the Baily Thomas Charitable Trust. The Trustees have power to control the finances. Only two claims were rejected in 2008/2009; the total number of grants made was 251 as follows:
|Type of grant:
|No. of grants
|Medical & Dental
£500 towards computer
Financial hardship
Sports Club membership
|Total Grants
|(Total expenditure £201,554)
William Colacicchi commented that the policy on private medical treatment requests was that they would be considered where suitable treatment could not be provided on the NHS within a reasonable timeframe. Dr. Sheik, medical consultant to the Trustees said that although human error may occur, the NHS is normally quick to respond when urgent heart surgery or cancer is detected.
Sports club membership grants of up to £300 are currently available to former employees only, and are paid annually. A grant of up to £500 for a computer is available, (one per family). Support is also available for education and re-training, business development and financial hardship.
The Trustees will take action to publicise the fund in order to inform potential beneficiaries who may not be aware of their eligibility.John Else said there were 5,500 beneficiaries on record at the takeover date. From 1994 -1999 there were as many as 30,000 on record and this could rise to as many as 60,000 when partners and children were included. William Colacicchi said that the fund is trying to trace potential beneficiaries via newspaper articles and the internet.
The Trust Deed will be reviewed and updated to bring the language more into the 21st century.It was also announced that the administration office, manned by Denise Wilson, will be open Monday to Thursday each week with effect from 17 August 2009
The meeting concluded with a question and answer session during which members asked questions and made suggestions.

Farewell to UK and Hello New Zealand!
In June, Alan and Elizabeth Boucher and their two sons Owen and Evan left to spend two years working in Auckland, New Zealand. We wish them all the best in their new life. Auckland is on the North Island and lies between the sparkling waters of the Waitemata and Manukau harbours. A cloak of rainforest covers the surrounding hill.
The population is a melting pot of European, South Pacific and Asian cultures and has a strong indigenous Maori heritage Auckland's temperate climate, easy access to the coast and variety of activities have earned the city consistent top five rankings in international lifestyle surveys. Liz is working as a theatre nurse at an Auckland Hospital and Alan is continuing his work in the I.T. industry.
Back in the late 1800's a Victorian entrepreneur, Robert L Jones, set up a small business selling beers, wines and spirits to the free licensed trade in and around Mansfield. In 1912 his son, Rex Jones, who had recently returned from Canada was persuaded by his father to invest a £1,000 in the business, (which was losing money) and to take over control. This he did and eventually decided to manufacture soft drinks, a new industry in the UK which was rapidly developing.
The Second World War caused the Ministry of Food to rationalize various food operations and the Soft Drinks Industry (SDI) was created to optimize the use of motor transport and rationed sugar. Rex Jones used this opportunity to increase his distribution area. He also had the vision to engage a scientist from the Mansfield Technical College to assist him in developing a range of Sunecta citrus fruit concentrates to be used as a base for various flavours of carbonated drinks, not only for his own use but also for many other soft drink manufacturers throughout the UK.
His son, Lyle, (Robert's grandson) joined the firm when he was demobbed from the RAF in 1945, becoming Managing Director in 1957. He continued to build the business by introducing a new type of orange drink which was called Mandora. This was an attempt to cash-in on the wildly successful comminuted orange drinks produced by J Lyons (Sunfresh) and Suncrush (Kia-Ora) which took the UK by storm in the late Fifties and early Sixties.
Filling PET bottles for major national
grocery chains at Mandora Mansfield
Burrows and Sturgess had been founded in 1850 by Christopher Pritchard who sold homemade ginger beer to passing traffic from the old Toll House on Kedleston Road, Derby.
By 1930 it had developed into a small local empire based in Derby encompassing Lichfield, Sheffield, Stoke, Leicester and Mansfield, with 3 factories and 9 depots.
It bottled both soft drinks and beers (the latter in the old Strettons Brewery in Ashbourne Road, Derby).
One of its most successful products had been Spa Iron Brew which appealed strongly to the mining and industrial communities within its trading area.
After World War 2, Burrows and Sturgess' fortunes declined and by 1968 it had only 2 factories and 3 depots, all rather unsuitable premises, and a poor trading record. Lyle Jones decided this was an opportunity and with the help of finance from ICFC (known as 3i's today) bought Burrows and Sturgess as he felt he could revitalize the combined firms. Unfortunately Lyle was never able to see the outcome of his decision for he was killed in a car accident in the spring of 1969.
The combined business was already making a loss in the order of £100,000 per annum. R L Jones & Co just did not have the depth of experience or management to introduce proper production, distribution and financial controls to rationalize the operation.
|R L Jones factory about 1957
When Lyle became Managing Director of R L Jones & Co in 1957 his father, Rex, was appointed Non-executive Chairman for life. He then took up residence in Hertfordshire.
Following Lyle's death he asked his son-in-law, Ian Linney, a prominent Mansfield businessman, to become Vice Chairman, and to keep a watching brief on the firm until a suitable Managing Director could be recruited to join the ailing family company.
After an extensive search Tony Morton was persuaded to leave Coca-Cola in Nicosia, Cyprus and to come to Mansfield in February 1971, and commence the task of re-shaping the business into a modern soft drinks operation. In order to introduce some order into the financial control he asked Christopher Rainsford to join him from Reckitt & Colman and to start the formidable task of integrating the two businesses to report as one.
When the profitability of each product sold was analysed it became obvious that far too much cash was tied up in selling beers, wines & spirits. A "mind boggling" decision was made to discontinue handling these products. This amounted to giving up about £1.25 million in turnover. At that time it was about half the firm's turnover and fortunately, as forecasted, this action produced an immediate improvement in cash flow and profitability.
|Production unit at Bellamy Road
A major problem in the business was the unsuitable nature of all the enlarged company premises.
It owned 3 production units and 3 depots and none of these were suitable for operating a modern soft drinks factory or distribution warehouse.
The decision was taken to dispose of them all: initially depots at Lichfield and Dudley were sold and replaced by a leased facility in Cannock.
In 1975 a single storey factory and warehouse was established in Bellamy Road, Mansfield to produce both non-returnable as well as the traditional returnable bottles
The Burrows and Sturgess factories in Derby were sold. The move was just in time, for in 1975 and 1976 the UK experienced two long and exceptionally warm summers and R L Jones & Co became very profitable once again.
| Canning at Beach Ltd of Evesham
Became a part of Mandora 1982
Another forward thinking decision was taken to buy time on the NCB's large IBM computer at Berry Hill, which was close to Bellamy Road.
This enabled a telesales operation to be set-up which, in turn, by using Optical Character Recognition generated invoicing, vehicle loading, sales and stock control information without further manual input.
By computerising the materials used in the production process a very tight control on the whole business was established.
The company name R.L.Jones Ltd. did not seem appropriate for marketing in 1976 so the Board decided to change the formal name of the company to Mandora (UK) Limited. The buying of soft drinks was changing and the use of the returnable bottle was declining. Mandora had already put its toe in the water by supplying the fast expanding supermarkets with private label non-returnable glass carbonates. Safeway became its first customer for these products followed by Waitrose. One of the keys to profitability in soft drinks was efficient production along with low cost of delivery. Supermarkets provided this requirement, but at a price

Note: The first 2Ltr PET bottle produced was on permanent display in the Mandora entrance hall but after Barrs moved in, it was relocated somewhere within five miles of Bellamy Road and is still in safe hands. Anyone know where? Please telephone 01623 644798 with your answer.
For many years various manufacturers had tried to use PVC and other plastics for carbonated soft drinks without success, due to the fact that the molecular structure of most transparent plastics was allowing CO2 gas to permeate through the walls of the plastic bottle thus causing the product to become "flat" and unacceptable.
Mandoras management had been watching food grade plastics development carefully for some time and a new plastic, PET, had recently been invented by Dupont in the USA. Surprisingly no one in North America at that time seemed to be interested in using this material to make a carbonated soft drinks bottle.
However, two companies in Europe developed prototype machines for manufacturing bottles and Mandora decided together with Waitrose to try out an experimental run of one hundred cases of Waitrose lemonade to evaluate the market. This was a resounding success, so much so that these new 1.1/2-litre PET bottles could not be made fast enough to meet demand from our customers. This problem was eventually solved by using rotary blowing machines. Mandora purchased one of the first blowing wheel for PET bottles in the world and thus became the first commercial pioneer producer of carbonated soft drinks packed in PET bottles.
This signal achievement was appreciated by Pepsi Cola when in 1978 they approached Mandora to contract bottle their product in 2-litre PET bottles which, in turn, would be sold nationally by Schweppes, the holders of their UK franchise. Overall the PET business continued to expand and later a 3-litre size was introduced at the request of several of our supermarket customers. Not surprisingly the returnable trade contracted significantly.
During this period of re-organization and expansion another of the endemic problems of the soft drinks industry, seasonal demand, was tackled by exploring the possibility of developing an export business during the quiet winter months. After a modest start in 1972/3 an interesting business was built supplying various countries in the Middle East. This grew year on year to become a very important part of the total business and by 1987 sales totalled £4 million.
|Christopher Rainsford
Mention should now be recorded of the various changes of ownership of R L Jones/Mandora. In the summer of 1973 Rex Jones died and as a result Ian Linney formed a new Board with Tony Morton and Christopher Rainsford continuing as executive Directors with three other non-executive Directors one of which was A J (Tony) Scruby, who was then Managing Director of MBC.
The Company shares were then acquired by the new Board though MBC acquired Tony Scruby's minority share. In observing the success of a modern soft drinks operation MBC decided to make an offer for the whole of Mandora's shares that they did not own and then to close down their own small scale soft drinks operation.
This acquisition occurred in 1978 and Tony Scruby became Chairman of Mandora and accepted the resignation of Ian Linney and the other non-executive Directors. When Tony Scruby retired from the MBC Board John Hings was appointed Chairman of Mandora.
In 1980, the serial entrepreneur, James Goldsmith let it be known that T W Beach of Evesham no longer fitted in with his rapidly expanding business. Rather like B & S it had been run down and needed both rationalizing and modernising, though it had an interesting customer profile. MBC eventually acquired their assets and Mandora was charged with merging the two soft drink operations.
|Bellamy (Drinks) Grimsby Ltd a part of Mandora early in 1983
In 1983 Tony Morton, who was also a main Board Director of MBC relocated his office to Littleworth and became Deputy Chairman of Mandora.
Christopher Rainsford left his position as Finance Director of MBC to become Managing Director
At about the same time Bellamys Soft Drinks of Grimsby was acquired and merged into Mandora. In 1985 MBC acquired Hull Brewery from Northern Foods. Larkspur Soft Drinks formed part of this package.
Perhaps the most important acquisition
In addition to a useful export business it also owned the St. Clements Trade Mark. Whilst Mandora had grown to a turnover of £32 million by 1986 some 70% of the trade was in private label business for Waitrose, Safeway and Sainsbury.
The large supermarkets were demanding ever lower buying prices and what Mandora required was a brand with a unique selling proposition whereby it commanded its own selling price. St Clements provided this and its USP was that it was a product with no artificial colourings, flavourings or sweeteners and with a high fruit juice content. Its market covered fruit squashes and carbonates. It was advertised on television and brand turnover in 1988 totalled over £10 million - from £100,000 in 1986. A phenomenal growth but at some cost in the form of heavy investment in advertising.
In the year to March 1988 Mandora turnover was £41.5 million but operating profit was only just above £1 million. It was the fifth largest soft drinks company in the UK by turnover. The Company had a superb manufacturing and distribution facility. However, the St. Clements brand required substantial marketing investment which would continue to reduce available profits.
A G Barr of Glasgow wanted a brand to support their Iron Brew; they approached the MBC Board, and were prepared to pay a substantial premium for the St. Clements Brand. They offered £22 million for Mandora, an offer MBC could not refuse. Concurrently the Management of Mandora mounted their own bid, but as this was heavily borrowed, they were unable to match Barr's price. And so in 1988 MBC sold its entire soft drinks business to A G Barr. MBC reverted to its core business, a successful regional brewery, utilising the proceeds of the sale to optimise fully the opportunities afforded by the Hull Brewery acquisition, and developing and expanding the tied estate and free trade.
Today the Bellamy Road plant is one of AG Barrs two production units, the other being in Cumbernauld, their Head Office in Scotland. Bellamy Road now produces only PET carbonated bottle drinks for all Barr group branded products in all bottle sizes. Interestingly they do not have any grocery own label business. And as for St. Clements Barr seem not to have carried on the exciting development which Mandora were doing, but they now have a new Managing Director who has recently re-launched the St. Clements brand.
Paul Weaver, (Cotney) started work at Mandora in June 1978 and has worked on many production jobs.
Paul says "when Barrs took over Mandora I continued with them and
Ron Gregory - a Mandora Personality
Ron Gregory was a very popular member of the Mandora staff.
He began work as a mechanic in the garage and then took the job as the Mandora Bus driver - picking up staff around town at various times depending on which shift they were on.
He was well known around town with his bus and always had a smile and a wave for everyone. Ron died in the 1980s.

Dorothy (Bo) Chadburn died peacefully
She attended school in Lincoln before going on to Oxford University. During the war Mrs Chadburn drew maps for the military. She married Robin Chadburn in 1942 and they returned to Sudbrook Farm in 1946. Mrs Chadburn was very active in the community with the W.I. and was passionate about golf, later becoming President of the Ancaster Golf Club. Her other activities included Bridge and she entered many tournaments; she was a room steward at Belton House and a Times crossword addict.
Mrs Chadburn leaves a son Richard and daughter Margaret and was a very special grandmother and great grandmother.
Freda Pothecary (79) died recently at the John Eastwood Hospice, Sutton in Ashfield. Freda worked as a clerk in the Order Office at Mansfield Brewery and retired in September 1989. She had been a local resident for 57 years.
Born at Stanton Hill and educated at Skegby, Freda attended Miller's Business College and began work as a secretary at the National Coal Board offices, working at Teversal, Huthwaite and Edwinstowe. She later worked for Mansfield Brewery.
Her interests included holidays, day trips, knitting and reading and she regularly attended the Redcliffe Over 50's Club at St. Lawrence's Church Hall and the Over 50's Club at Forest Town Welfare. Freda leaves a son Keith, daughter Gillian, and four grandchildren.
A service at St Alban's Church, Forest Town, preceded cremation at Mansfield of Mrs Margaret Godfrey (65) of Eakring Road, Mansfield. Born and educated at Mansfield, life-long local resident Mrs Godfrey had worked in the brewery trade all her life until retiring at the age of 53. She loved life and enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, bowling, shopping and going on holidays.
Margaret who died at King's Mill Hospital, Sutton, leaves her daughter, Daralyn Allison, and her two granddaughters, Bryony and Gabriel Allison.
Just to let those members of Mansfield Brewery staff who had the pleasure of knowing Stan Rhodes that he sadly passed away in May of this year. He was 67 years old.
Stan, along with his dad Alan and his brother Vinnie, were responsible for the redecoration of many of Mansfield Brewerys refurbishment schemes. Always ready for a laugh, Stan would work and play hard to get the pubs open on time.
My first encounter with Stan and Vinnie was when they were still very busy decorating one half of the Red Lion at Brimington whilst Mr Robin was doing the honours in the other half. Always tight for time, they usually succeeded in completing their works for the openings but it didn't always pay to lean on the walls.
Stan retired from the family firm in 2007 and enjoyed his woodworking hobby in his shed at home. Stan will be missed by a lot of Mansfield Brewery staff. Thanks Stan and best wishes to his family. Kevin Hall

By stabilizing the core area around your knees, CW-X's Patented Support Web™ technology also reduces knee pain during exercise, allowing you to get out and enjoy the experience the way you want to.
CW-X is great, as was "Basic Shipping" Happy!
Have the long version, wore every day when the weather got cool. Loved the way they feel and got tons of remarks on them. Saw these on sale and impulsively clicked. DURING the LAST days of the Christmas rush, with basic free shipping they arrived within 2 days. I LOVE them, and may like the Stablix parts on the ITB even more than my orig. pair. VERY SATISFIED.

I am a fan of cw-x
I own two pairs of cw-x running pants and I love them both. I wear them on my more difficult workout days....and I swear it helps keep my muscles from hurting the next day. I would recommend buying the size larger than what you think you may need. These leggings are very tight. Don't be scared when you take them out of the box, they will look small. Trust me they will stretch! :)
Love the tights
Good looking, great support during exercise, but a bit snug around the waist. If I were to buy another pair I would size up. This is my first pair, but family members have been using these for a number of years and in our experience they hold up well under all sorts of conditions (from extreme off road marathoning to daily gym use).
New Hampshire
Fit: Feels too small
Great running pants!
- felt great while running - not too compressive - just a nice snug feel. Definitely worth the $ - I'm ordering a second pair!
ontario canada
surprisingly comfortable
the pants are compared to putting on panty hose without the fear of ripping. they feel good. One downfall although I think for no fault of the pants, just like panty hose do for me they sag/slip down, because I have a small waist and wide hips and bigger legs,they do sag, just a bit.Overall i love my pants great product Highy reccomended.
Great W/O tights period!!
I got the purple ones, I have the rose and periwinkle. LOVE,Love cw-x tights. feel great to workout in and they're very durable. They're very tight to put on, but dont let it scare you. I bought a medium a ways back thinking they'd be better. NOPE too much room between the legs, and it bunched up (ladies you know what Imean) not nice! get your usual size. if you're inbetween then I would get the larger size.
Salt Lake City, UT
Very supportive and well made. I am short with most of my weight in my thighs. I think these would fit straighter body builds better.
Asheville, NC
Best investment for an older runner!
Wasn't sure how well they'd work - but, OMG!!! I'll never run a half or longer without them again! Now I'm looking for a shorter version for summer running - but I think I'll miss the knee support that the capris provide!

CW-X Women's Stabilyx 3/4 Length Tight
All around SUPPORT is phenomenal with this product. Use strictly for 'running' on a tread. No pain in back, hips, knees, during or afterward as I suffer from 'spondylolisthesis.' I cannot believe that I can run with abandonment & not be guarded in technique. Only problem is difficulty pulling the garment on as there are no 'hooks' to pull with & stresses my finger/thumb joints painfully which might reactivate 'trigger finger.'
Palm Springs, CA. area
smaller fit than usual
I have another pair of the CWX capris that fit great. This pair seems to run small. However, the length is good and I love the way they support my legs during long runs.

Model# FI1006A
Dynacraft Prophet CNC Forged Iron - Clubhead
Starting at: $12.95Bringing together tradition with modern game improvement technology, each Dynacraft Prophet CNC iron starts out as a solid billet of soft 1020 carbon steel. Through a new concept in production techniques, the head goes through a series of several steps where the clubhead is stamped and pressed into a raw, overweight forged blade. Next a computer numerically controlled (CNC) program precisely mills the back of the blade into the exact cavity shape. The milling doesn't stop there as an additional step creates an undercut cavity to allow for a deeper weight distribution found only in cast designs until now! Afterwards, the heads are polished by hand, buffed and chrome plated to provide the treatment of a lifetime. Come see first hand how all game-improvement forged irons will be produced in the future. Learn More
Model# I3452C
Dynacraft Prophet Tour Iron - Clubhead
Starting at: $9.95For the player heading toward single digits or perhaps already there, this model sports the true appearance of a blade. The distinction is just enough game improvement elements were augmented to give that player the edge to dominate the competition and continue to lower their score. The exclusive Stability Slot optimizes the CG location by pushing the weight further back from the face and redistributes the weight directly in the center of the face for that pure, unmistaken feel only a blade can provide. The Dynacraft Prophet Tour Blade is manufactured from an ultra-soft 304 stainless steel for an incredible feel at impact and finished with an exquisite black PVD coating. Learn More

Penguins at the Beach Baby Shower Luncheon (27 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
The theme for this baby shower luncheon was inspired by the nursery bedding "Penguins at the Beach" by Gordonsbury. Susan O'Neill and Sheryl Osborne of Bebe Grand (Dallas, TX) hosted the event and served as the design team as well as culinary staff.
The front door welcoming guests was covered in paper fans and a little penguin echoing the invitations. A larger paper fan backdrop was also placed behind the dessert/sweets table.
As the father-to-be is an up-and-coming chef in the Austin area, we knew that the menu had to be something very special. The menu feautured many mini floral and herb elements along with fresh summer ingredients, and included: cold peach soup with crystallized micro-basil and goat cheese, tomato-blueberry bruschetta, honey roasted tomato bruschetta, melon carpaccio with lime syrup, mini veggies, summer flower salad, turkey tea sandwiches with basil, crab cakes, shrimp rollls, and pasta salad with shrimp, strawberries and avocad. Individual salads were served in black and white boxes, decorated with thematic elements.
Desserts included chocolate cinnamon cupcakes with chocolate marshallow frosting, limoncello cupcakes with coconut, a variety of macarons, and penguin cake pops. Guests received penguin and crab almond shortbread cookies as favors.

Description: GigabitEthernet2/0/25 ifType: ethernetCsmacd (6) ifName: Gi2/0/25 Max Speed: 1000.0 Mbits/s
Which is correct, it is a gigabit switch. However, on the graph it is showing 84.938Mbps out, which is not accurate, it is more like 849.38Mbps.
How do I get it to display the proper values?
