I firmly believe the 2012 New York Mets will be much better than most people are giving them credit for. They have a potent lineup and the potential to have a good pitching staff. Add a revamped bullpen to that and you have the recipe for a potential winning team.
I've read a lot of articles on this site talking about the Mets offense and they weren't talking about it in a good way. I've yet to understand the reasoning behind this. How many other major league lineups can say they have the potential for four 25+ HR guys? (Wright, Davis, Bay, Duda).
Now I know what a lot of people are going to think after that. How can you possibly say that Bay is still a 25+ HR guy? I know that Citi Field has drastically hurt Bay's numbers and the walls being moved in are not going to restore him to his 35 home run days of Boston and Pittsburgh, but can you honestly tell me that Bay does not have the ability to 25 home runs anymore? They moved the walls in Citi Field WAY in and even made them shorter. Home runs WILL be hit in this new Citi Field.
Anyway, this article is not talking about Mets that have a chance at league MVP, this is simply talking about who has the chance to be the MVP for the Mets in 2012.

It's okay but it is not enough aid to cover me which forces you into more and more debt from loans
It is not enough Finacial Aid to cover the cost of tuition and expenses.
They offer a Merit Scholarship that helps out a lot! But like most places, getting financial aid is a hassel. The financial aid advisors are very helpful and resourceful.
My school hardly has any money to give out to the students. I'd say it is greatly underfunded and could use some serious help in that aspect.
Although I did get financial aid & grants my bill was still high due mainly to the dorms so now I can't attend school until it's paid for!

Sochaux twice fell behind Marseille on goals by France international Djibril Cisse but recovered to win the French Cup for the first time in 70 years, beating OM, 5-4, on penalties after their thrilling final at the Stade de France ended, 2-2, on Saturday.
Goals by striker Moumouni Daganoand substitute Anthony Le Tallec leveled Sochaux after OM twice went ahead, the first time in the fifth minute and the second time eight minutes into overtime.
Sochaux won the shootout when goalkeeper Teddy Richert saved Toifilou Maoulida's spot kick and defender Ronald Zubar, who will play in the Gold Cup for Guadeloupe, converted for Sochaux.
The loss kept Marseille without a trophy since it won the 1993 European Cup, which was captured as the VA-OM scandal that threw the club into turmoil was breaking.
BELGIUM.Anderlecht secured its 29th Belgian title on Saturday with a 6-0 win over FC Brussels. The victory combined with second-place Racing Genk's loss at Charleroi gave Anderlecht a five-point lead with one match left.
ITALY. Captain Alessandro Del Piero scored twice to give Juventus a 3-1 win over Bologna on Saturday and put it on the brink of a return to Serie A. For its central role in the Italian match-fixing scandal, Juve was stripped of its 2006 Serie A title, relegated to Serie B and handed a nine-point penalty, but it still leads Italy's Second Division with a nine-point lead on Genoa. Napoli is 11 behind with four games to play. The top two teams win automatic promotion to Serie A.
NETHERLANDS. Klaas Jan Huntelaarscored twice to give Ajax a 4-0 win over his former club, Heerenveen, and a 4-1 aggregate win and move the Amsterdam club into the final of the UEFA Champions League playoff series against AZ, which Twente, 2-0, to advance, 3-1, on aggregate. Champion PSV is assured of the Netherlands' other spot in the Champions League.
PORTUGAL. Defending champion Porto will retain its title if it beats relegation-threatened Aves next weekend. Brazilian striker Adriano's goal in the 76th minute earned Porto a valuable point with a 1-1 draw at Pacos Ferreira on Sunday that kept it one point ahead of Sporting, which beat Academica, 2-0.
TURKEY. Brazilian Zico won the Turkish league title in his first year in charge of Fenerbahce as the Istanbul clinched the Super Lïg championship on Sunday. Fenerbahce tied Trabzonspor, 2-2, at home, but second-place Besiktas lost 3-0 at Bursaspor. The victory left Fenerbahce with 64 points, six clear of Besiktas with two games remaining. Fenerbahce, which won the Turkish league title for the 17th time, has won the tiebreaker (head-to-head).

USC vs. Notre Dame – Historic Games and National Championships
Knute Rockne, Howard Jones, Anthony Davis, Joe Montana, John McKay, Ara Parsegian, Pat Hayden, John Robinson, Lou Holtz, Pete Carroll, Charlie Weis, Matt Leinart, Brady Quinn, Dwayne Jarrett and Reggie Bush. The list goes on and on.
This little rivalry started in 1926 when wives of prominent figures (Mrs. Knute Rockne and Mrs. Gwynn Wilson) of both schools decided it would be a great match-up to have a home and home series. Behind every great man is a great woman, so the saying goes. Since then there has been no better intersectional rivalry in all of college football.
No other two schools can claim as many national championships or Heisman Trophy winners than these two combined. In most years when these two meet, there are national standings or championships at stake.
Notre Dame Leads the Series, Hands Down
The storied University of Notre Dame program holds a commanding lead in the series at 42-31-5. In the last six years, the Trojans have whittled slightly into that stat by posting a 5-1 record under the leadership of Coach Pete Carroll.
Games of Note
1927 - Notre Dame 7, USC 6 – 120,000 Strong
In the early years of this rivalry, both schools were national contenders. This game played at Soldier Field in Chicago had an estimated 120,000 in attendance.
1929 - Notre Dame 13, USC 12 – Largest Verified Attendance
Another game played at Soldier field had a verified attendance of 112,912 – making it the largest crowd in NCAA history.
1938 - USC 13, Notre Dame 0 – Dethroning the Irish
Played at Coliseum in Los Angeles, Notre Dame was undefeated and ranked number 1 in the nation, USC was ranked 8th after the Trojan victory, Notre Dame dropped to number 5.
1947 - Notre Dame 38, USC 7 – Coliseum Thrashing
The highest recorded attendance for a football game in the Coliseum, 104,953 saw USC lose to Notre Dame 38-7. Notre Dame was awarded the AP National Championship. USC also lost to Michigan in the Rose Bowl, giving Michigan a claim to the national championship.
1974 - USC 55, Notre Dame 24 – The Comeback
In what is known as the greatest comeback in college football history, the Trojans had a 24-point deficit in the first half. With 10 seconds remaining before halftime, Anthony Davis scored on a 7-yard pass from Pat Haden. At halftime, Coach John McKay told Davis he would return the kickoff for a touchdown. Davis did not disappoint, taking the opening kickoff 102 yards for a touchdown. USC scored 55 points in under 17 minutes. The Trojans won the national championship by defeating Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.
1977 - Notre Dame 49, USC 19 – The Trojan Horse
The Irish wore their traditional blue and gold uniforms during warm ups. They changed into an all green uniform and dragged a Trojan Horse onto the field before kickoff. Notre Dame trashed the Trojans on their way to a National Championship.
1978 - USC 27, Notre Dame 25 – Frank Jordan Beats Joe Montana
Notre Dame was led by the comeback master, quarterback Joe Montana. Behind 24-6, Montana began to work his magic in the fourth quarter and led Notre Dame to a 25-24 lead with 45 seconds left in the game. With four seconds left, the Trojans moved into field goal range and kicker Frank Jordan worked magic of his own, kicking the winning field goal as time elapsed.
2005 - USC 34, Notre Dame 31 – The Bush Push
After beating the Irish by 31 points each of the previous three years, the Trojans headed to South Bend to play the Fighting Irish and first year head coach Charlie Weis. The Irish scored on a Brady Quinn run with two minutes left in the game and appeared headed to a victory. The Trojans completed an impossible 4th and 9 pass by Matt Leinart to Dwayne Jarrett that brought the Trojans close to the redzone. As Matt Leinart ran the ball, he was hit at the sideline and the ball popped out of bounds and off the field. While the officials called the ball dead, the time clock continued to run down zero and Irish fans stormed the field. The officials put the ball on the one-yard line and returned seven seconds back on the clock. On the next play, Leinart snuck the ball to the middle, and with the aid of Reggie Bush, was pushed into the endzone for a touchdown, securing a victory.
The Pete Carroll Era
The Trojans hold a 5-1 advantage in the Pete Carroll era. Carroll has claimed the "fake kick" which resulted in the loss as a "bonehead" play call; he vowed to never fake a kick again. In his first year as the Trojan Head Coach, the Trojans lost by a score of 16-27. Since then, Carroll led the team to four lopsided victories (44-13, 45-14, 41-10 and 44-24). The only close game was the miraculous "Bush-Push" game in South Bend which the Trojans won 34-31.
2007 Match-Up, Too Close to Call
This year's battle in South Bend should be an epic battle. With the Irish having a 1-6 record and the Trojans (5-1)struggling the last three weeks, this game may be a classic.
Both teams have much to gain by winning this game. The Irish stand to make amends for a dismal season and the Trojans are fighting to return to the top of the heap in the BCS Championship Bowl Series.

Historical Traveler Reviews Shore Club South Beach Hotel Miami Beach
Some of the rudest employees I have ever met
I just returned from a weekend trip to the Shore Club. I was extremely disappointed in the attitude of the employees at this hotel. When we went to the front desk to inform them that the rooms were received were far smaller than those we had reserved, they condescendingly told us they were fully booked and started to inform us how we should deal with them in the future. Unbelievable, as though we should be honored just to be in their presence! Obviously Ian Schrager needs to teach his employees that they are working in the hospitality industry.
This same attitude was carried throughout the hotel with the exception of the bell men who were friendly and helpful. It took 45 minutes to an hour to get drinks on the beach! Every meal that my friends ordered had a problem and never once did an employee ever offer to comp us with a drink or a dessert to make up for any problems we experienced. I also witnessed the beach employees being openly and loudly rude to each other on the beach in front of guests. UNBELIEVABLE!
As for the decor, I've stayed at some pretty amazing and hip hotels throughout the US and Europe and some may call the Shore Club's decor minimalist but with the exception of the Sky Bar's decor, the decor is simply cheap! The rooms look like college dorm rooms. The cement floors are not cool, they are obnoxious, loud and unfriendly. The beds are small and the rest of the furniture in the rooms looks like it was purchased at KMart, ie tiny plastic night stands and sconces. There are absolutely NO amenities in these rooms.
We saw the Delano which looked beautiful but I'm likely to stay away from Ian Schrager hotels from now on. We did walk through the Ritz down the street which had just opened up and interestingly we received friendlier service from the employees at the Ritz just walking through this hotel than we did at the Shore Club where we were staying. Stunning place and less expensive too!
Great style
The Shore Club is - if you are under 40 - fantastic. Luckily I am, and I loved it. The hotel is right on the ocean and has great ocean/pool/lounger facilities. Nobu, the Red Room and the Sky Bar are fantastic places to hang out. I found the staff (especially Concierge) to be immensely helpful, and our one-bed suite was very large and overlooked the ocean. Definitely a place where you can chill out in style, but equally stay out until the early hours as well.
Just Returned from the Shore Club
My wife and I just returned from our stay at the Shore Club. I have to admit that the scene at the Shore Club is not for everyone. There are definitely a lot of beautiful people that lay around the pool waiting to be discovered with the attitude that they already have been. I would say most of the people staying at the hotel were between 28-35, which was fine for us, but I would venture to say that it is not a place for my parents. The first room we were given was right outside the elevators in the building where Nobu is. We were not happy with this location so we explained to the front desk we were looking for a quieter location and they upgraded us to an ocean front room without hesitation in the newer building. I found the service to be excellent.
The rooms were definitely bigger than most of the rooms in Miami especially the bathroom. The hallways do get loud at night for two reasons: 1: The hallways are made out of stone like material instead of carpeting so everything echoes (it's very cool though). 2: The hotel has a younger clientele whose main objective is to party and relax.
Overall we were definitely happy with the room and service but we were a little turned off by all the posers.
Go to the Delano
The staff at the Shore Club is afflicted with a common problem among many of the new "trendy" hotels: it behaves as if you (as the guest) are the privileged one to be staying with them -- that, in effect, you should be grateful that the Shore Club deemed you worthy as a guest.
Bottom line: it was noisier than a cheap motel and the staff behaved no better than that at a cheap motel. Oh, and business travelers beware -- they lost my fax from my office three times. I have yet to see what is so great about this place. If you want to go to a fun but classy hotel (where the staff actually welcomes you as a guest and cares about the quality of your stay), go to the Delano. You'll like the Delano's lobby better, too.
Great Hotel
Great Hotel. The pool area is the best part of the whole place. It has couches, whole beds, and lounge chairs covered with terry cloth covers sitting by it for a very decadent lounging around the pool sipping drinks kind of atmosphere.
The floors in most of the place are made of these weird concrete tiles.
It makes the halls in the hotel rather noisy. We had to change rooms from a first floor one with a long hall and an elevator near by. Beach is nice and close to the pool exit. More lounging on the beach with chairs and drink service.
Rooms have a Spartan modern look, but I would rather have carpet and a big fluffy bed.
Unique and chic
Awesome service, unique, chic hotel. I was just in for a business meeting and would love to have stayed longer. The room was minimalistic but very comfortable. The sheets and pillows were heavenly. The meeting facilities were convenient and the service prompt and unobtrusive. I look forward to visiting again for pleasure!
Had a great time at the Shore Club in South Beach
I have stayed at Ian Schrager hotels in LA (Mondrian) and NYC,(the Hudson), and now the Shore Club in South Beach Miami, and I have to say all of his hotels have resulted in a consistently enjoyable and "stylish" experience. I was able to get a good rate at the Shore Club through www.eleisurelink.com, so I decided to spend a whole week there during the last week of October. I'm glad I did. My vacation at the Shore Club was fun and relaxing; I highly recommend the hotel for those interested in a special experience.The Shore Club's location in South Beach is ideal; two blocks from the restaurants and shops on Lincoln Road, it has its own private beach, and it s a short walk from most anywhere of interest in South Beach. The hotel itself has a clean, modern, and stylish design. The rooms are relatively large for hotels in South Beach, the bed was very comfortable, and the linens used were truly exceptional. The floor is natural stone (no carpet), which probably contributes to keeping the rooms cool. However, the doors to the rooms have a tendency to slam shut loudly, which could get a little annoying at times.The pool and surrounding area has to be one of the best I ve ever seen; beautiful and lush, surrounded by music. You are offered several lounging options (full-sized beds, clothed benches, as well as pool chairs). You are greeted by at least two pool attendants on your way to the pool who set you up for the day. The service at the pool and in the hotel itself is exceptional. Everyone was friendly and attentive.The atmosphere at night is relaxed and elegant, yet festive. Candles are lit everywhere: from the lobby to the grounds outside and around the pool. The Sky Bar is a very popular destination in South Beach and attracts people from outside of the hotel, so you really don t have to venture out of the hotel to have a good time at night. I stayed in a room on the 19th floor, so I couldn't hear the Sky Bar, but rooms on lower floors may be disturbed by the sounds that eminate from the bar well into the night.I will have to say that one of the most surprising aspects of my stay at the Shore Club was the usefulness of the concierge: both Martin and Jared were unbelievably helpful. I visited them daily to plan what I would do during each day. I especially appreciated their suggestion as to which clubs were the best to attend for that particular evening. They were able to get me on the guest list and with complimentary admittance at each of the clubs, which were usually two each evening. It actually made my stay in South Beach much better because I never had to stay in lines or even pay to get into all of the top clubs in South Beach. If you re interested in going to clubs in South Beach, you cannot underestimate the utility of this service. I suspect that the concierge at the Shore Club and the Delano (also an Ian Schrager hotel) are the only hotels in South Beach with the kind of "influence" with other venues because both hotels have a lively scenes of their own.Based on how much I enjoyed my trip, I doubt that I would even consider staying at another hotel when I return to South Beach.
Cool Hotel
A great hotel. He decor is very impressive as well as the service. The clientele is extremely good looking and if you want to be "seen" this is the place to be.
The rooms were decorated in a modern style and they were very comfortable. The ocean view from our room was great.
At night, the Skybar is pretty noisy but it closes at 3 AM so a little sleep is available. Don't come if you are not ready to put up with some noise.
On the down side, the doors to the rooms slam a lot and that is really unnecessary. It is a bit pricey as well. DO NOT USE THE MINIBAR whatever you do. VERY EXPENSIVE to the point of being ridiculous.
The pool is amazing as well as the restuarant
Sleepless in Miami Beach
While the lobby and pool/beach area are very nice, the rooms are sparse to the point of being uncomfortable.The hotel becomes party central after 11:00 p.m., so if you're looking for a place to "see and be seen", this is the place for you. However, if you are interested in relaxing, having fun, AND getting a good nights sleep, this hotel won't meet your needs. In our room (on the 7th floor) we could hear loud music from the Sky Bar, doors slamming, and people yelling until 3:30 a.m. every night. I came home from vacation exhausted!In addition, the location is not the best. The hotel is a seven block walk to Lincoln Mall, and even further to South Beach. The area right around the hotel is very run down.I was tied into staying at the hotel for four nights, and after the second night, I couldn't wait to check out.
One night is not enough!
My friend and I went in late October 2002, this place is great! Very chic and hip! We arrived in the driveway and the hotel is hidden by huge, tall trees. Giving it the privacy from Collins Ave. The website was excellent, but when we arrived they were doing some renovating. (Don't blame them, it's off peak time. It's got to be done sometime.) We were only there one night, but I cannot wait to go back!! The rooms were clean and comfortable. We had a spacious room with two comfy, queen beds. The floor of the rooms are made of stone, interesting and perfect for the bathroom. But they do provide slippers and robes for you!! I'm easy to please I guess. We did not rent a car, the location of the hotel to Lincoln Road is perfect! We shopped all day!! And of course the nightlife!!! Before we went to dinner, we walked across the garden area of the hotel to Nobu. Had few cocktails and conversation with the bartender. Pricey, but that's South Beach, baby!!Luckily the next morning our flight wasn't until late afternoon, so we were able to soak up some rays on the beach!! We walked to the beach from the hotel, easy access, past the pool (beautiful!) to the ocean! We were set up with chairs and towels by the cabana boys. It was great!! I did not want to leave!

As in speed, power, quality, flexibility, layers, and efficiency. Those are the trends across all extrusion processes.
Blown film towers may have been scarce, but there was no shortage of new technology aimed at helping to make extrusion processors more profitable.
There won't be many blown-film lines running, but there is still much in the way of innovation going on in extrusion and compounding.
This NPE show won't have a lot of extruders on the floor, either running or static. Instead, look for videos and announcements of new technology. You will also find lots of ingenious peripheral devices to improve output and quality and save resin. Some will do all three, and cost less into the bargain.
Do you have runaway resin?
A new system designed by D.R.
It's all about higher speeds and higher outputs at this year's "K" show in Germany.
Under-blowing of air in internal bubble cooling (IBC) systems for blown film can cause the bubble to suck in or actually collapse.
Secondary bubble-sizing cages are used on about 10% of blown film lines that have extra-tall towers or long, thin bubbles or ones that make products like heavy-duty sacks, for which centering the bubble before the collapsing frame is critical.
Eight years after nine-layer blown films were first introduced, only a handful of processors have mastered the challenges of making them. Machine suppliers are now setting up lab lines that could make entry easier.
NPE will show higher outputs of practically everything, as advances in grooved feeds, servo drives, screw torque, mixing screws, dies, and downstream cooling, cutting, and handling make everything run faster.

AUSTIN - West Texas A&M University is asking for increased funding to help recently created programs live up to their potential.
School leaders met Monday with the House Appropriations education committee and are expected to meet today with the Senate Finance Committee.
WT President Russell Long said the programs focus on "access and education, and that is something we take very seriously."
The requests include $3.9 million for the Integrated Pest Management program, $1.5 million for the Agribusiness Economic Development in the Texas High Plains and $1 million to WTOnline, an Internet-based distance learning program that enrolls 1,500 students.
The school's request includes renewing $263,690 in funds to the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum. The museum is visited by more than 60,000 schoolchildren each year but is completely funded by the university, Long said.
The university also needs a new fine arts center because the one now in use - which was built in 1959 - is outdated and unsafe.
"We have a very very good fine arts program at West Texas A&M," Long said. "We cannot renovate. The cheapest approach is to rebuild."
Lawmakers praised WT for recruiting minorities and increasing enrollment despite a decreasing West Texas population.
"All of the universities have their success stories, and certainly we are no different," Russell said. "What we have done is work in some very specific areas to bring those students in."
Rep. David Swinford, R-Dumas, said the increase shows the amount of work the university has done to pull students in and keep them there.
"When you see an increase in a university in our situation, that means someone has been working very hard, knocking on doors," Swinford said.

To the Editor:
The pre-election campaign finance report filed by Georgetown County Council candidate Steve Goggans on May 23 paints a very clear picture of his backers.
Of the $17,096 that Goggans has reported raising, $12,175 or over 70 percent is from development interests: developers, realtors, a realtor PAC, attorneys, appraisers, and architects.
Why would all of these development interests pour money into Steve Goggans campaign? They see an opportunity to put into office a fellow developer, who can be counted on to be a friend.
Goggans performance as the chairman of the county Architectural Review Board shows just how friendly he can be to developers. When the big-box developer who was going to bring Walmart to Pawleys Island sought a special exemption from the appearance rules, Goggans voted to exempt them from the rules.
Goggans and the other members of the ARB were effectively fired by County Council in disgust after the vote.
Unlike Steve Goggans, we can count on Bob Anderson to protect our quality of life by fighting big-box stores and ensuring all developers are held to the rules.

Cheap 'n Easy finds harmony as acoustic duo
The same questions arise at every show by Julie Ann Petrick and Mark Stockhausen, who perform as the acoustic duo Cheap 'n Easy.
Who's Cheap? Who's Easy? Are you married? Are you dating? Will you play "Me and Bobby McGee"?
For the record, they're not married -- to anyone. As for who's Cheap or Easy?
"That's the $10,000 question right here," said Stockhausen, who has a stock joke answer: "If I told you, I'd have to kill you."
Petrick was more serious.
"There's nothing underlying dirty about it," Petrick said. "We actually were at practice; we were searching on the computer for like three hours, looking for songs. We were talking about our marketing, like T-shirts we could sell.
"We both said at the same time, 'Well, that'd be cheap and easy.' We looked at each other. 'Oh, right. That could possibly be a name.'"
So, Cheap 'n Easy is no cheap trick, just a name that stuck. Four years later, they specialize in songs you know by artists you know (Tom Petty, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Revival, Rolling Stones, Johnny Cash). They also dredge up songs you know by people you forgot.
"We spent hours on YouTube looking for one-hit wonders," Petrick said. "Songs that people have forgotten about like 'Little Willy.'"
That was by Sweet, by the way. You might also hear "Spiders and Snake" (Jim Stafford); "Queen of Hearts" (Juice Newton); "Harden My Heart" (Quarterflash); or "One Tin Soldier" (Coven).
Petrick and Stockhausen met at the Iron Horse in Cambridge Springs, where Stockhausen did acoustic shows with Rick Magee. Petrick, who knew Magee, occasionally would sit in. A year later, when Stockhausen thought he'd try a male-female duo, he found Petrick on Facebook.
"She was the first person I looked up. ... I'm not sure exactly why I decided to start working with her," he said. "But it just seemed to click."
For Petrick, a single mom, it's her first real gig in 15 years. She also owns a hair salon. "This is the first opportunity in my life to do something like this," she said. "It's been a wonderful opportunity."
They both sing and play acoustic guitar. Stockhausen also plays harmonica and electric kazoo; she does percussion. They play everything live; nothing is pre-recorded. And it works. They play out so often now they don't have time to date.
"An outside relationship would be basically impossible for both of us. Which suits us fine," Stockhausen said.
So, don't request "Wedding Bell Blues." But they're fine with "Me and Bobby McGee."

Yes, but not many temporary car insurance providers will not cover you until you have held a valid driving licence for at least 12 months.
The table above can help you find short term car insurance if you are 18, but be warned that any policy you find will be very expensive; quotes can be in excess of £100 per day. This is because:
You have little or no previous driving experience
You are statistically more likely to have a crash and make a claim
Ways to cut the cost
There a few things you can try to keep the cost down:
Increase the excess on your policy, but make sure you can afford it because the excess set by insurers can be as much as £1,000 if you are 18. Find out how car insurance excess works here.
Drive a car with a small engine because these usually cost less to cover. Find out which cars are the cheapest to insure on the Parkers website.
Compare as many quotes as you can by using our table to find the best deal.
Only get cover for the period you need it, because you could end up paying £100s for cover you do not use.
Other ways to get cover
If you cannot find affordable temporary cover you could try being added as a named driver to someone else's policy.
You will need to the permission of the policy holder to do this, and it could mean the cost of the insurance goes up and their no claims bonus could be at risk.
If you have not passed your driving test, you will need to look for specialist learner driver insurance, or if you think you will need cover for the long term, get an annual young drivers policy.
Temporary car insurance for 18 year olds FAQs
Why is temporary car insurance for young drivers more expensive?
Young drivers are more likely to be involved in accidents and make insurance claims, so car insurers charge them more.
Can I get car insurance for just a short period?
Yes, you can get cover that lasts from one day up to a month. Here is when you should consider short term car insurance.
What is the youngest age I can get temporary cover?
Most insurers will only cover you if you are at least 18 years old, because you will need to have had a valid driving licence for at least a year.
Can I get temporary cover with a provisional licence?
No, but you can get a temporary learner's policy with a provisional driver's licence. Here is how to find the right learner's policy.
Do I need insurance as a learner?
Yes, you must be insured if learning in your car or someone else's. Find out how to get learner drivers cover here.
Does temporary cover include breakdown?
Most temporary car insurance policies will not include breakdown cover as standard, but you may be given the option to add it at an extra cost.
What happens if I do not have car insurance?
It is illegal to drive in the UK without insurance it and you could face a fixed fine, six points on your licence and your car being seized and destroyed.
Is the excess higher on short term policies?
Yes it can be, especially if you are a younger driver. Some insurers will set an excess of as much as £1,000 for short term cover.

We are a locally owned and operated company serving all of Seminole, Orange and Volusia counties and parts of Lake county. We specialize in surfaces covered with travertine, saltillo, porcelain, ceramic, marble, granite, slate, terra cota, brick, concrete and more.

We are your tile and grout cleaner, your tile and grout sealing solution and your source for all your hard surface maintenance needs.
About Us
Clear Sealing
Color Sealing
After cleaning, it is important to properly seal the grout and some tile. Clear sealing fills the microscopic pores in the grout or tile and slows the absorption of a spill giving you time to clean it up before it becomes a stain.
While a clear sealer can help to protect grout lines from stains, a colorseal application not only fills the pores of the grout but leaves a topical coating behind making your grout impervious to staining and looking new! Just wipe it clean!
We use a 4 component cleaning system that provides: High Heat, Proper pressure, Job Specific Emulsifiers and Maximum water and dirt extraction. All working in harmony to provide the best clean possible.
HSS is a fully licensed and insured company. Our goal is to provide our customers with astonishing service and the best investment in cleaning and restoration services.

Skip to comments.The FReeper Foxhole Profiles "Kit" Carson - Aug. 16th, 2004
Posted on 08/15/2004 11:35:16 PM PDT by SAMWolf
[Carson was] a stout middle-aged man, with straight brown hair, mild eye and kindly face. He wore a suit of gray, and looked like an Illinois farmer; but when he took off his hat the face and head indicated character....Kit's special delight was to dash down steep hills at full gallop...he sits a horse splendidly and rides with rare grace and skill....He is a gentleman by instinct; upright, pure and simple-hearted, beloved alike by Indians, Mexicans, and Americans. He speaks fluently English, French, Spanish, and several Indian tongues, all acquired orally. As if figuring fancifully in romances numerous and yellow-covered were not misfortune enough, he is also the victim of a biographer.
In 1867 Carson escorted a delegation of Utes, on whose behalf he was working, to Washington. Returning west to his Purgatory River ranch, the continual chest pains he had been having, which he attributed to a horseback accident, worsened. Adding to his suffering, Josefa died. Carson was grief-stricken. Taken to the army surgeon at Fort Lyon, Kit Carson died at the Fort, May 23, 1868, "between the hours of four and five o'clock, afternoon, this day, from disease of the heart...."
In addition to a county, the name Kit Carson is honored by a town in Cheyenne County, and countless streets, parks, buildings, and monuments in Colorado and New Mexico.
home.earthlink.net/ ~travel180
| 'If Thomas Jefferson was right that a natural aristocracy existed among men, grounded in virtue, talents, and merit, then Kit Carson unquestionably qualified for membership.'
-- Marc Simmons
'WHEREAS, It has pleased the Supreme Ruler to remove from our midst one of the most honored of our associates, in the person of General Kit Carson, therefore,
-- Wilbur F. Stone, President pro tempore
If you support the policies and character that our current President, George W. Bush, stands for, please drive with your headlights on during the day this coming Sunday.
If you support John Kerry, please drive with your headlights off at night.
Join us at the rally we call:
What: A peaceful remembrance of those with whom we served in Vietnam - those who lived and those who died.
We will tell the story of their virtues and how that contrasts with the lies told by John Kerry.
When: Sunday, Sept. 12, 2004 @ 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM EDT
Where: The West Front of the U.S. Capitol Building, Washington, DC
All Vietnam veterans and their families and supporters are asked to attend. Other veterans are invited as honored guests. This will be a peaceful event--no shouting or contact with others with different opinions. We fought for their rights then, and we respect their rights now. This is NOT a Republican or a pro-Bush rally. Democrats, Republicans and independents alike are warmly invited.
Our gathering is to remember those with whom we served, thereby giving the lie to John Kerry's smear against a generation of fine young men. B.G. "Jug" Burkett, author of "Stolen Valor," will be one of our speakers. Jug has debunked countless impostors who falsely claimed to be Vietnam veterans or who falsely claimed awards for heroism. Jug recommends that we refrain from dragging fatigues out of mothballs. Dress like America, like you do every day. Dress code: business casual, nice slacks, and shirt and shoes. No uniform remnants, please. Unit hats OK.
Selected members will wear badges identifying them as authorized to speak to the media about our event. Others who speak to the media will speak only for themselves.
The program will be controlled in an attempt to stay on-message. Speakers are encouraged not to engage in speculative criticism of John Kerry but (1) to stick to known and undisputed facts about John Kerrys lies while (2) reminding America of the true honor and courage of our brothers in battle in Vietnam.
Send this announcement to 10 or more of your brothers! Bring them by car, bus, train or plane! Make this event one of pride in America, an event you would be proud to have your mother or your children attend.

A howitzer is a short-barreled, large-caliber cannon designed to throw shells at a higher trajectory than regular field guns. This makes them useful against enemy troops behind fortifications or concealed in rugged terrain. The mountain howitzer was a special gun, designed on such a small scale that the entire piece could be taken apart and carried on pack animals. Although its 4.62-inch bore could handle the same 12-pounder ammunition as a regular 12-pounder gun, a complete mountain howitzer, including the carriage, wheels and barrel, weighed less than the barrel alone of a larger 12-pounder field gun. Instead of needing a six-horse team like most other Civil War cannons, a mountain howitzer and two ammunition chests could be carried by three mules through trackless forests, across swampy ground, or over rough mountain trails where no other gun could go.
Mountain howitzers figured prominently in several Indian battles fought during the Civil War years, from fighting at Fort Ridgely, Minn., during the 1862 Sioux Uprising to the infamous Sand Creek Massacre in Colorado in 1864. The famous mountain man turned Union general, Christopher "Kit" Carson, credited a pair of mountain howitzers with saving his command during the Battle of Adobe Walls, Texas, on November 25, 1864. Carson's force of about 400 men attacked and overran a Kiowa village before they were confronted by 1,000 Comanche warriors camped nearby. The soldiers barely escaped with their lives after a long, running battle.
Part of Carson's command was a two-gun mountain howitzer section with 26 men of the 1st California Volunteer Infantry, under Lieutenant George Pettis. Pettis' men had traveled on foot to the site of the battle, using horse teams to pull the cannons. A cavalry detachment had remained with them for their protection, and their mountain howitzers proved very useful during the battle. The little cannons forced the Comanche and Kiowa to stay out of their range and remain scattered so as not to make attractive targets.
At one point, Pettis' guns were set up on a sand hill that made a sort of natural fortification. The soldiers loaded them out of sight at the bottom of the hill, then pushed them by hand to the top. A gunner would aim the piece, then lie on his stomach to avoid Indian bullets until he was ordered to fire. When fired, the mountain howitzers violently recoiled, sometimes tumbling over and over and sometimes rolling on their wheels to the bottom of the hill. At last the Indians withdrew, and Carson ordered a return to the expedition's wagon train. The most seriously wounded men were loaded onto the gun carriages and limbers for the journey.
After the war, Pettis met some Mexican traders who had been in the Comanche village on the day of the battle. They told him that the Comanche had said that only "the guns that shot twice" - meaning the mountain howitzers with their exploding shells - had kept them from destroying Carson's entire command that day.
Read: Isaiah 40:25-31
Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength. Isaiah 40:31
Bible In One Year: Psalms 94-96; Romans 15:14-33
In the book Geeks and Geezers, authors Warren Bennis and Robert Thomas present a fascinating look at "how era, values, and defining moments shape leaders" of two very different generationsthe geeks (those 21-35) and the geezers (those over 70).
One of their findings is that among the older group of "geezers," every person who was able to continue to play a leadership role retained the qualities of curiosity, playfulness, eagerness, fearlessness, warmth, and energy. Instead of being defeated by time and age, they were "open, willing to take risks, hungry for knowledge and experience, courageous, eager to see what the new day brings."
That's a great attitude to have, but how can a Christian get it and keep it? The Bible says that our strength comes from a trusting relationship with God: "Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint" (Isaiah 40:31).
Our minds more than our bodies cause us to lose heart and give up. The young are not immune, because "even the youths shall faint and be weary" (v.30). God gives power to young and old who place their hope in Him. He stirs our spirits to run, walk, and soar for Him. David McCasland
Carson's Duel
Such a large party as were gathered at the summer rendezvous was certain to include many varieties of people. The frank, brave and open hearted, the sly and treacherous, the considerate and courteous, the quarrelsome and overbearing -- indeed the temperaments of the individuals composing the company were as varied as it is possible to imagine.
Among them was a powerful Frenchman known as Captain Shunan. He had won his title by hard fighting, possessed a magnificent physique, was brave and skilled in the use of arms, and was the most quarrelsome individual in camp. It is impossible to picture a more irascible and disagreeable personage than Captain Shunan, who appeared to spend all his spare time in trying to provoke quarrels with those around him. Sometimes he succeeded, but more often his insolence was submitted to by men as brave as he, but who wished to avoid trouble with him.
The activity and strength of the Frenchman were so great that a skilful pugilist would have found difficulty in handling him. The only ground upon which he could be met with anything like fairness was where firearms were used.
On one of these occasions, the bully became unbearable in his behavior. He knocked down several weak and inoffensive persons, and swaggered back and forth through camp, boasting that he could trounce any one there. In the midst of his bluster, Carson walked up in front of him and said in a voice loud enough to be heard by those around:
"Captain Shunan, there are plenty here who can easily chastise you, but they prefer to submit to your impudence for the sake of peace: however, we have had enough and now I notify you to stop at once or I shall kill you!"
These were astounding words, and, as may be supposed, when uttered by a man six inches shorter and many pounds lighter than the blustering Captain, they fairly took away his breath. Carson spoke in his quiet, soft voice, as though there was not the least cause for excitement; but those who knew him, noted the flash of his clear, gray eye and understood his deadly earnestness.
Captain Shunan was infuriated by the words of Carson. As soon as he could recover himself, he turned about and without speaking a word, walked to his quarters. Kit did not need be told what that meant. He did the same, walking to his own lodge, from which he speedily emerged holding a single barrel pistol. He was so anxious to be on the ground in time, that he caught up the first weapon that presented itself.
Almost at the same moment, Captain Shunan appeared with his rifle. Carson observed him, and, though he could have secured without difficulty a similar weapon, he did not do so. He was willing to give his burly antagonist the advantage, if it should prove such. The other trappers as may be supposed, watched the actions of the two men with breathless interest. The quarrel had taken such a course that they were convinced that one or the other of the combatants would be killed. Captain Shunan had been so loud in his boasts that he did not dare swallow the insult, put on him by the fragile Kit Carson. Had he done so, he would have been hooted out of camp and probably lynched.
As for Kit, his courage was beyond suspicion. He feared no man and was sure to acquit himself creditably no matter in what circumstances he was placed. He was the most popular member of the large company, while his antagonist was the most detested; but the love of fair play was such that no one would interfere, no matter how great the need for doing so.
The duellists, as they may be called, mounted each his horse and circling about the plain, speedily headed toward each other and dashed forward on a dead run. As they approached, they reined up and halted face to face, within arm's length.
Looking his antagonist straight in the eye, Carson demanded:
"Are you looking for me?"
"Have you any business with me?"
"No," growled the savage Frenchman; but, while the words were in his mouth, brought his rifle to his shoulder, and, pointing it at the breast of Carson, pulled the trigger; but Kit expected some such treacherous act, and, before the gun could be fired, he threw up his pistol and discharged it as may be said, across the barrel of the leveled weapon.
The ball broke the forearm of Captain Shunan, at the very moment he discharged his gun. The shock diverted the aim so that the bullet grazed his scalp, inflicting a trifling wound; but the combatants were so close that the powder of the rifle scorched the face of the mountaineer.
Captain Shunan had been badly worsted, and was disabled for weeks afterward. He accepted his fate without complaint and was effectually cured of his overbearing manner toward his associates.

Mountain Men and Fur Traders of the Far West
Of all the hardy and adventurous trappers who roamed the western mountains, only Kit Carson became so widely known that he achieved the status of a national hero. As this is written, nearly a century after his death, his name and fame are still familiar to the general public. As Daniel Boone typified the early frontier, so Kit Carson typified the frontier of the Far West. It is a curious fact that Carson was born within a few miles of Boonnesborough, Kentucky, and grew up in the Boone's Lick Country in Missouri, near which the last years of the older pioneer were spent.
Christopher Houston Carson, called Kit from a very early age, was born on his father's farm two miles northwest of Richmond, Madison County, Kentucky, on December 24, 1809, being the the sixth of ten children of Lindsey Carson and his second wife, Rebecca Robinson Carson. In October 1811, Lindsey Carson sold his farm, and then moved to Howard County, Missouri, probably in the summer of 1812. Lindsey Carson was killed by a falling tree in 1818 and his widow, in 1821, remarried Joseph Martinby whom she had other children.
At the age of fourteen, Kit was apprenticed to David Workman of Franklin, Missouri, to learn the saddle making trade. Acquiring an increasing dislike for the work, he ran away in August 1826 to Independence, where he joined a wagon train bound for Sante Fe. The advertisement of the saddler for the return of the runaway apprentice described him as a light-haired boy, who was smal for his age, but thick-set. a reward of one cent was offered for his return!
Upon the arrival of the wagon train in Santa Fe, in November 1826, young Carson went almost immediately to Taos. Ther he spent the winter with Mathew Kinkead, who was fifteen years older than Kit and already a Mountain Man of two seasons' experience.
In the spring of 1827, Kit started back to Missouri with a wagon train but, meeting a west bound train on the Arkansas River, he transferred to it as a teamster and went as far as El Paso. Returning to Taos for the winter, he worked as a cook for Ewing Young, in return for his board. In the spring, he repeated his experience of the previous year by changing form an east-bound to a west-bound train. This time he went all the way to Chihuahua, as interpreter for a merchant, Colonel Trammell. He then worked as a teamster for Robert McKnight at the Santa Rita copper mine. Tiring of this, he returned to Taos in August 1828. Just a year later, he left Taos as a member of Ewing Young's first great trapping expedition to California. It was under Young, an old and capable hand at the game, that Kit learned the secrets of successful beaver trapping and the arduous art of survival under difficult conditions. Young found in Carson an apt pupil, who became a trusted lieutenant before they arrived back in taos in April 1831. They had trapped the Arizona streams, both going out and coming back, and had penetrated as far as the Sacramento River in California.

CAMBRIDGE, England -- More than 3,800 American World War II veterans were remembered during Memorial Day here at the Madingley American Cemetery on May 31. The cemetery was first established on Dec. 7, 1943, and construction was completed in 1956. This area, known as East Anglia, was used extensively during World War II, and many airfields were built over its flat landscape. The area is also where many American casualties occurred during the war. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Tony R. Tolley)
G'morning PE!
Good morning Sam and Snippy!
For those who would care to know why 'Booneslick' is named thus I will elucidate. West of the Mississippi salt was an expensive and rare commodity. It was a neccessary ingredient in the preservation of foodstuffs and in curing hides along with supplimenting a heathy diet for people and livestock. Naturally occuring saline springs are quite rare and the places where they do occur are commonly called 'licks' since wildlife would frequent these places to obtain the salt. Booneslick was one of these places and the springs there produced a high quality salt in amounts that made their commercial operation viable. I have been there several times and the springs are still as active as they were in Daniels day. The stone evaporation pans are still in situ as well as one can see the foundations of the storehouses and coummuity structures. You can see the general layout of this very important center of pioneer commerce. The setting is fairly rugged but it is a typical Missouri landscape, lush and forested. The springs number at least four fairly large outlets. and are at the bottom of a deep cool hollow. The plants there are of the sort that thrive in a salty microenvionment (pitcher plants, sundews etc.) and are protected by law due to their rarity. If you are traveling thru Missouri I encourage you to take the time to visit this place.
Morning E.G.C.

It is impossible to picture a more irascible and disagreeable personage than Captain Shunan
I think Kerry can give Captain Shunan a run for his money.

Hey Samwise.
Good Morning Feather.
Thanks Lee Heggy.
Interesting how today we take salt for granted.
Morning Colonel Flagg.
I barely seem to recall a "Kit" Carson TV series as a kid. I think Crockett and Boone overshadowed him though. Hard to beat Fess Parker and Disney.
Nice to know I'm not alone. :-)
Howdy SAM.
I'm still fighting that malware infection. It keeps coming back!
The Mountain Men
by George Laycock
The Dramatic History and Lore of the First Frontiersmen
Paperback, 240 pages, 9 x 6 inches
To know how the West was really won, start with the exploits of these unsung mountain men who, like the legendary Jeremiah Johnson, were real buckskin heroes. Preceeded only by Lewis and Clark, beaver fur trappers roamed the river valleys and mountain ranges of the West, surviving on fish and game, fighting or trading with the Native Americans - forever heading toward the untamed wilderness. In the story of the rough, historic men and their worlds, Laycock weaves historical facts with profiles of individual trappers including harrowing escapes, feats of supreme courage and endurance, and sometimes violent encounters with grizzly bears and Native Americans.
VERY GOOD fun read.
also available from Amazon, and all the usual places.
Yeah Sam, I remember as a kid on the farm we didn't have a freezer so what we couldn't keep cool in the springhouse ot in the rootceller was usually salted/smoked or pickled to preserve it. It was a treat to duck into the springhouse on a hot day and have a dipper of cold milk. We would also put a couple of bottles of grapejuice or cider in a bucket that had a lid on it and holes in the bottom and then lower it into the well. Real tasty stuff. Simpler times that I miss.
Good morning EGC.
Good morning Cannoneer.

Nostalgia 77
The mostly acoustic brainchild of U.K. producer Ben Lamdin, Nostalgia 77 frames vibrant, late-'60s soul jazz and sinister, mid-'70s fusion in the context of modern funk and hip-hop. If the concept seems academic, that's because it is -- but only a meticulous po-mo auteur could fashion such a compelling, ferociously cool time warp. Lamdin focused more on digital dance beats in previous efforts, but this Garden sounds purely organic: Where "After Ararat" percolates with Afro-Latin polyrhythms and baritone sax, "Freedom" lock-steps with a rigid drum 'n' bells break and swinging horn section, and "Green Blades of Grass" shimmies with a wiry electric guitar riff, drunken trumpet, and loose, upright bass. N77's cover of the White Stripes' "Seven Nation Army" might get top billing for name recognition; the song stomps like hepcat Kong with Alice Russel's husky vocals, a monstrous bass line, and wicked horn finale. But Lamdin's most unrelenting, pulse-pounding genius shows up early with album opener "Cheney Lane." Rugged Afrobeat horns, nimble jazz flute, slinky JBs guitar, and a neck-snapping beat take this one into the books. As an opener, it's almost too monumental. The rest of the album -- brilliant as it is -- only barely measures up.

Hints from Heloise: Beware stray wire grill-brush bristles
Dear Heloise: Please repeat your hint on checking grill brushes for loose bristles. I had one stuck in my throat after eating a hot dog, which had picked up a stray bristle while on the grill. -- C.F.
Dear C.F.: If you clean your grill with a wire brush, remember to take a wet paper towel and wipe down the grates afterward. This will catch any stray bristles and prevent them from being transferred to your food. Also, consider using alternative tools, such as nylon scrubbers or grill "stones" that are made from recycled materials. -- Heloise
Dear Heloise: I had a skin irritation on my lower extremities and decided to generously sprinkle baking soda in the bath water to see if it might calm the irritation. Not only did it help the irritation, it left my legs and feet feeling so smooth and soft. Rather than using the shower, I now make it a habit to occasionally do a baking-soda bath. -- Donna B.
Dear Donna: You have discovered one of the many uses for baking soda. Add about 1/2 cup to warm bath water, and your skin will be silky smooth. You just have to love baking soda and all the things you can do with it. I sure do, which is why I wrote my Heloise's Baking Soda Hints and Recipes pamphlet. To receive a copy, send $5 and a long, self-addressed, stamped (66 cents) envelope to: Heloise/Baking Soda, P.O. Box 795001, San Antonio, TX 78279-5001.
Baking soda also can be used to clean brushes and combs. Dissolve 4 tablespoons of baking soda in 1 quart of water, and soak the brushes and combs overnight. Simply rinse well, and they are ready to use again. -- Heloise
Dear Readers: When you are a road warrior like I am, your hotel room becomes your home away from home, and I like it to be as quiet as possible. That's why, when booking hotel rooms, I request a room away from any potential noise. I don't want a room facing street traffic or a room close to the elevators, ice makers or laundry rooms. My Heloise hint: Ask hotel staff, when making reservations, to reserve your room far away from any potential noisemakers. -- Heloise
Dear Heloise: I have a hint for making old jackets new again. Take off the original buttons (this works particularly well if the buttons are just for decoration). Add buttons with a unique shape or color for a completely new, inexpensive, updated look. -- Cathy M. in New Mexico
Dear Readers: Running out of blush can make any girl's morning drab. In a pinch, put a bit of lipstick in your hand and add a drop of moisturizer. Mix well; pat it on your cheeks and blend. This will give you a nice, natural color without the powder. -- Heloise
Send a great hint to: Heloise, P.O. Box 795000, San Antonio, TX 78279-5000; Fax: (210) 435-6473 or send e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Sorry, no image is available of this object

Davey decided early on in this project to use computer technology to manipulate photographs of a glass eye and a glass bottle-stopper. He has stated: 'The two are so closely and obviously related. The stopper is a stylised eye. What I liked about it was the light in the object (it looks like a lightbulb), the bubbles, and that the stopper had more light in it than the eye ... The stopper has a lot of the life you would expect to find in its partner.' The objects were photographed in 40 different positions and the film was fed into a computer animation programme. Davey was then able to edit and alter it before translating the resulting compilations to silkscreen.

Despite her premature death in 1973, Brigitte Reimann has emerged since the late 1990s as one of the most important writers of the former German Democratic Republic (GDR). Rising to fame in the early 1960s with a series of novels narrating the social, sexual, and political struggles of East German youth, Reimann is best known today for her never-completed opus Franziska Linkerhand and for her diaries, which were the basis of a 2004 TV miniseries under the title Hunger auf Leben [Hunger for Life]. Reimann was also a correspondent of notable figures like Christa Wolf and the architect Hermann Henselmann. Reimann's work takes up a number of diverse themes, including the transformation of gender roles after the Second World W…

He Almost Did [http://www.kxan.com/dpp/mobile/man_charged_in_deaths_of_mother_child]. He fled to Texas & was witnessed as having been 'Happy, Carefree, and with no signs of remorse' in the weeks following the murders.

Everyone should try making truffles at least once in their lives. They are delicious and dead easy to make.

Sinead Ryan: Listen up dads – leave childbirth to mums
Published 13/03/2014 | 16:12
"No uterus, no opinion!" yelled Rachel memorably to Ross in that episode of Friends when he tried to explain to the mother-to-be how real contractions felt.
Well, it seems she has an unlikely ally in our Daithi O Se whose wife, Rita Talty, is expected to deliver their first baby any day now.
Like most couples, I imagine Daithi and Rita have tried to plan what's going to happen on the big day: considered birthing pools, packed a bag and discussed things like pain-relief and breast-feeding.
The sensible about-to-become dads leave it right there. If they pipe up with anything other than "Whatever you want is fine with me, dear", they should be firmly consigned to the waiting room.
The normally verbose Kerryman has zipped it for now and suggested that if Rita wants all the drugs available to her when she gets to the labour ward, then she should jolly well have them.
It's the first coherent thing I've heard out of him for years.
In my experience, first-time dads fall into two categories. On the one hand we have the ones who practically believe they're giving birth themselves – the warning sign is the spirited "We're pregnant!" announcement to friends.
And then there's the "Please don't make me go in there, I have no idea what's going on" type, who very often turn out to be the greater support for women pushing out the equivalent of a rugby ball.
Because that, gentlemen, and Ross, is what contractions actually feel like.
The dads who devour the foetal development books, chide their partners for munching a packet of crave-driven Hobnobs at midnight and condescendingly instruct the midwives to ignore all screaming demands for pethidine, epidurals or gas and air "because it's not part of our birth plan" are the ones who would run yelping from the labour ward if they even had an inkling of what it felt like.
Childbirth, despite our happy-clappy modern insistence on male "birth partners" is still about women, for women, by women.
Although many of us appreciate our partners being there – and they can be a wonderfully comforting, soothing presence – your best friend on the day, and the person without whom you wouldn't get through it, is your midwife.
I wonder – if it were deemed politically correct – how many women would actually prefer their mother or sister present, as was the case for millennia, instead of their husband?
It's not that we don't want our man there, but if he's a terrified, quivering wreck, is it fair? There's no point in having two patients. Childbirth is a singularly bracing affair and not for the faint-hearted.
Even ante-natal classes can be off-putting – all that focused breathing, the exploration of your intimate innards and the talking up of organic, vegan food when all you want is a massive Toblerone and the whole thing to be over.
Mind you, having done it once, most dads are absolutely fantastic second time around. They know which bit is up and are already dreading the sleepless nights. The romanticism is gone, replaced by a hardened reality of stinky nappies, screaming demands and endless re-runs of Barney at 3am.
And despite it all, they'll have a renewed sense of sheer awe at the process.
Daithi will remember his baby's birth as the best day of his life. Whatever his wife decides, or doesn't decide, she needs or wants for the hardest day of hers is nobody's business but hers.
