Skip to comments.Any Walking Dead fans?
Posted on 03/18/2012 7:22:19 PM PDT by gop4lyf
Season 2 ended tonight. I know its not everyone's cup of tea, but I don'tmiss an episode.
Ohhh I thought that was a random walker in the woods! Thanks!
I assumed Sean was infected by the knife he used to cut his hand with for blood to draw zombies to the bus door after using it to stab the zombie cops in the head at the fence.
Rubbing his wrists raw and bloody in the barn on shackles that might have been used with zombies would also explain the infection.
I didn't know Amazon.com did that! Thank you!
Heck of an episode, heck of a season. I watch it with the wife (which shocks me, she's not generally a genre girl), but she's never read the books. I was so psyched to see Michonne. Next week Mad Men is back, AMC is the best TV network ever.
That reminded me of the thugs in Africa who keep muzzled hyenas on leashes
I don't understand the point of the show. After the first 30 minutes its all a repeat. Run way from zombies, shoot zombies, etc. etc.
I love a good head splatter just as much as the next dumb-guy but come on man I'm trying to eat my bowl of spaghetti here.
Dale didn`t re animate when he died.
They shot him in the head.
I like walking the stairs or stair walking.....
It's not about the zombies at all. Just like the comic books it's about the people and how surviving in that world makes them change. There were hardly any zombies at all in the first half of this season. The title refers to the people not the zombies.
OK I watched season 1 on netflick. don't know it was still on TV.
Ah ok.
I can't believe the wife and I are hooked on this show. LOL! My favorite though is also on amc. "Hell On Wheels". It should have been called, To Hell With Political Correctness. Great show.
It was revealed on the Talking Dead show afterwards, I didn't catch her name though.
I like Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers.
I'm a fan
The Walking Dead Comic Book synopsis -——http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Walking_Dead_(comics)
Haven't really watched the show, but a huge fan of the comics, the story lines differ somewhat so I will get around to the show eventually =)
You may still be right that Shane was infected by his knife, and the prisoner infected from rubbing his wrists raw in the barn that had previously been "lived" in by walkers. (Trust some gov't guy at the CDC that says EVERYONE is infected?!)
Of course, everyone could be infected, but do not ever show symptoms - just like many normal diseases.
I'm wondering where I can buy those 20-shot shotguns that still look like normal ones.
And I'm wondering if Herschel ever gets around to remembering that there is a prison a tank-of-gas down the road from his farm?
And any takers that Rick is showing early signs of Zombieism?
I think you are right. Gross stuff.
They did half a season before Christmas, and half since March. I don't like it either, but that's how it works.
I love The Walking Dead! How close has the storyline been to the comic? Do we run into the black guy from Season 1 again that was in Jericho? I really like him.
I was wondering the same thing as I watched the episode.
If you find out, let me know! :)
My 14 year old daughter started laughing saying sense when do shot guns have that many shells in them?
And you're also right— why don't Hershel and his kids have any clue where to go or what's nearby?
"My 14 year old daughter started laughing saying sense when do shot guns have that many shells in them?"
Well, as I was telling MY 14-year-old girls: "This show is so fackey!" (I also mentioned that too bad they don't have some AR-type rifles available.)
What is the fascination with modern Undead shows? Vampires and Zombies. I don't get it.
I'm not knocking it. However people are entertained is up to them and the more entertained the better. It takes the heavy off life and gives joy.
But the huge number of undead shows on TV mystifies me. I don't understand the appeal.
Is it that political correctness have left the undead as the only enemies you can have today without offending someone. I mean, Vampires and zombies don't have any real members in life to sue studios and threaten them with boycotts.
I understand that vampire shows appeal heavily to women. Maybe the zombie shows are similar. And being a man, I just don't get the appeal.
Try this: The Walking Dead Online(s)
Works well, spread the word... *grin*
My family loves this show. My girls have the graphic novels, and those are even better!! The place at the end was a prison.
I've read all the comic books so I am guessing it was the Prison. Also the Chick with the sword and the two walkers on chains (who saves Andrea in this last EP) shows up around the time they discover the prison in the comic book.
Did someone say Hatt-Baby???
You can also download the shows on Amazon VOD. That's what I do I also bought a Roku so I could stream amazon vod netflix to my Tv. I don't miss cabel.
Nope, there are two seasons now... about 24 Episodes total (In this new TV age a season is around 12 Episodes.)
You sir are correct! I've read the comic books, all 94 of them (which is how the Walking Dead started) and the Prison story arc happens after "Farmageddon".
What is nice about the TV show is the creators decided to make it different from the comic books. The Big Story seems to be the same (trying to survive ZOMPOC) but they changed some of the characters and smaller parts of the story so even if you have read all the comic books you aren't really sure just exactly how the TV series will work out.
I enjoy both immensely and I am not a big fan of comic books anymore but The Walking Dead Comic is sorta like an old pulp novel it has a charm about it at the same time a lot of drama and intensity that is rare in any form of modern story telling.
Yeah that is how I surmised it. I think Rick and crew may have been immune to the original virus But now it has mutated and with them constantly battling Walkers they have gotten scrapes and scratches and been covered in blood and zombie gore enough they have the virus in them.
Now when they die their Immune system shuts down and the virus reanimates the cerebral cortex (like was shown in the last few Episodes last year at the CDC.)
Yeah even the wife questioned that one and she knows jackshit about guns (well she knows which end is the business end and can hit what she shoots at) I am guessing the shotgun of Herschel's held maybe 9 shells at best (I know you can modify standard shotguns by changing the the loading tubes).
He was pumping out shots like it was a combat model shotgun with a 50 round drum!
Simple, they are the only enemies "good guys" can smoke with wreck less abandon and without any trace of moral ambiguity.
They don't have kids, or pets, or families. They are amoral, parasitic, implacable, and neither ask nor offer, quarter.
In short, indulging ones bloodlust by destroying them is a meritorious act, by definition...very much like the appeal of Islam.
WD is a mirror reflection of our modern culture: feelings of impending doom followed by mind-blowing horror followed by emptiness. The zombies are all around us - at some point we know we'll have to defend ourselves against them. So there is just something mesmerizing about the show. I can't wait for next season!
Just watched it. Wow so Rick has turned into Obama "This ain't a Democracy anymore."
Can you believe that Hatt Baby and AYBABTU are like, 10 years old?????
Dale was destined to be a zombie no matter what happened, since he was chomped on. That's why Daryl put a bullet in his head.
No matter how they became zombies, a bullet to the head ends the nonsense.
No because then I gotta believe you and I are Ten years older...
(Where in the hell did all that time go?)

One of the liveliest discussions within the language learning community is on the subject of when to start speaking. I am a proponent of letting the learner choose when to start, and my personal preference is to delay speaking. I prefer to invest a fair amount of time in listening and reading, in order to gain some familiarity with the language and acquire a decent level of vocabulary. Then when I start speaking, I have something to say, and I can understand what others are saying.
To me, speaking from day one, in other words forcing people to speak right away, is like asking people to sing who have never heard a song, play tennis who have never seen a tennis game, or swim who have never seen a person swim. What's the hurry? It is much easier to start speaking when we are somewhat familiar with the language. Focusing on comprehension is less stressful and more pleasant than forcing oneself to speak.
Here is a discussion on the subject with Martin Weiss, American polyglot, who has a different point of view. What is your personal opinion? Feel free to share in the comments!

CNBC reports that the discount policy at Goldman Sachs to thin out the lunch rush has some interesting cultural implications.
In a cheeky recent piece titled "The Creepy Capital Efficiency of Goldman's Cafeteria," CNBC's John Carney explores the successful effort of the foodservice operation at Wall Street financial firm Goldman Sachs to minimize the lunch rush in its cafeteria by offering 25% discounts on meals purchased before 11:30 am and after 1:30 pm. Even though the discount really represents only a couple dollars savings for the typical diner, the peer pressure at the company is ...

Bishop Quinn appeals to governor to leave office with "memorial" of fixed roads
Leader of the Dioceses of Samoa Pago Pago has again wrote to Gov. Togiola Tulafono about the "terrible conditions" of the roads in the Tafuna area — mainly the roads in the Ottoville area, which are frequented by many residents and parishioners.
Bishop J. Quinn Weitzel in a May 3 letter informed the governor that these are not "private" roads, they are roads used by citizens of the territory as they drive to work, take children to school, go shopping, attend church, etc.
The Catholic church leader says he has been told that some machinery has been ordered to help pump water out of the "Mormon Lake" — which is located in front of the Mormon church in Ottoville. (A Public Works Department's Vacuum (vecter) truck that was initially scheduled to arrive in the territory in June, is now scheduled to arrive in October.)
"This public road in front of the Mormon church floods every time we have rain. Many cars and pickups have been damaged by the deep waters," he wrote. "Isn't there something that our Public Works can do to assist in the proper conditioning of the roads?"
"Our local Representative has tried to receive assistance from Public Works but was told that you said these are 'private' roads," the letter says. "This is not true. Our residents and all who use these roads could testify to their being 'public' roads."
Togiola has stated on his radio program several times that it's very difficult for the government to fix the Ottoville roads because the roads are on private property owned by the Haleck family. He says these roads have been used as public roads, although they are not public roads.
Bishop Quinn wrote, "I realize you are preparing to retire as governor. It would be a wonderful 'memorial' to know that our outgoing governor did try and correct a problem that a new governor would have to face."
Tualauta Reps. Larry Sanitoa and Tapumanaia Galu Satele Jr. have been pushing for funding to fix the Ottoville roads, especially the Mormon lake area, but without success. The lawmakers even sought and received help from the McConnell Dowell company last month to pump water out of the area and clear out the drainage.
However, the lake is again a problem after more rain this week.
Rep. Sanitoa requested Public Works to ask "McConnell Dowell again to help out in cleaning and draining the water" in front of the Mormon church.
"The water level now is unacceptable," he wrote in an e-mail message to the DPW officials and recalled that on Monday this week, DPW was trying to block the overflow water from going over to another family's property.
"Bottom line, the water level is terrible again and unfortunately the water is not going anywhere," said Sanitoa. "Please, we need to drain it again."

Looking for homeschool history curriculum which can be used as a starting point for your homeschool - incorporating many subjects or just as a subject on its own? This page refers to homeschool history curriculum being taught in a chronological way. For more information, refer to the page on Teaching History Chronologically.
Some history curriculum is written in a four-year-plan rotation, Tapestry of Grace, for example. This is written so that as you teach home school history, you can teach the same time period three times over, changing the focus each time. However, some people may choose to spend 8 years to cover history in the first cycle when homeschooling and then 4 years to cover it a second time.
As you can see, there are many ways of teaching history in your homeschool. You, as parents, must have the final say as to how you want to teach it in your home in your context with your children. Begin with the oldest child in mind and make a plan for them. Don't forget that you will visit the time periods a few times in your homeschooling years, so even if your youngest begins in the 20th century, he or she will continue the studies and visit it more than once.
The common divisions of History according to the Kingfisher History Encyclopedia are as follows:
Check out my recommendations at the Homeschool History Bookshop to help design your homeschool curriculum.
Use these free history notebooking pages in your history study. Created to go with the Famous Men books.
Each homeschool history curriculum that is available follows its own divisions. Here are some of my favourite chronological homeschool history curriculum.
Tapestry of Grace has a four year plan. Tapestry of Grace is comprehensive and teaches far more than just "history."
Read a description about Tapestry of Grace here, add your own curriculum review and read what other homeschoolers say about Tapestry of Grace.
Year One- covers Creation to the Fall of Rome (476A.D.)

Greg Garcia (producer)
|Greg Garcia
|Gregory Thomas García
April 4, 1970
Arlington County, Virginia, United States
|Los Angeles, California
|Television director, producer, writer
|Roman Catholic
Gregory Thomas "Greg" García (born April 4, 1970), is an American television director, producer and writer. He is the creator/executive producer of several long-running sitcoms, including Yes, Dear, My Name Is Earl (where he made seven cameo appearances), and Raising Hope. He has also worked for the series Family Matters and as a consulting producer on Family Guy. He developed two pilots for CBS for the 2013–14 season,[1] one of which, The Millers, was picked up.[2]
Early life and career[edit]
García grew up in Arlington County, Virginia, graduated from Yorktown High School, and attended Frostburg State University in Frostburg, Maryland and participated in the Warner Bros. Writing for Television courses, which ultimately opened the door for him as a writer in Hollywood. While at Frostburg he was president of Sigma Alpha Epsilon (ΣAE) Fraternity, an experience that showed through in an episode of My Name Is Earl when a brother of the fictional Phi Alpha Fraternity hands out flyers, as Phi Alpha is the motto of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.
García worked as a board operator for The Tony Kornheiser Show on WTEM radio. He was also an intern for the Don and Mike Show radio program in Fairfax VA. His sister, Shelley, lives with her family in Fairfax and his parents, Tom and Natalie, still reside in Arlington.
García and his wife Kim have three children together and live in the LA area.
García has been incorrectly labeled as a Scientologist, as some of the Earl cast are members of the group, after reports in the Daily Mirror and comments made by actor Alec Baldwin. In Garcia's own words, "I am not currently nor have I ever been a Scientologist. ... I am in fact born and raised Catholic."[3]
His name is mentioned in Entourage when writer's agent Andrew Klein (Gary Cole) tells Ari Gold that he signed García with their agency in the series' season six premiere "Drive".
During the 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America strike, García worked as a cashier and janitor at a Burger King in Burbank, California.[4]

After purchasing your home, you may be wondering what steps you should take to ensure that your new investment remains protected. When determining whether you should purchase flood insurance, consider the following advice from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
According to the NFIP, anywhere it rains has the potential to experience flooding. Flooding can be started by a variety of weather conditions, including hurricanes, or can result from outdated drainage systems and severe rainfalls or spring snowmelt.
The NFIP also reports that even areas that have never experienced a flood are still at risk for future incidences, as flood risk is not solely based on history. Minnesota homeowners are urged to check flood-hazard maps produced by the agency for help determining the need for, and cost of, flood insurance.
As a homeowner, when determining the risks in your property's location, you may find your area listed as either having a moderate-to-low risk or high-risk, and the NFIP says your insurance premiums are dependent upon your area's level of risk. If you live in a moderate-to-low risk area, you may qualify for coverage at a lower rate. To determine the cost and coverage of flood insurance for your home, contact an Edina Realty Insurance representative.

Friday, June 26
The Vandalia Board of Education approved on Tuesday an amended budget that reflects, among other things, building projects associated with the relocation of some of the district's younger students.
The amended budget, as presented by district Business Manager Lori Meseke, includes renovations made to Vandalia Elementary School and Vandalia Junior High School, as well as the construction of a new maintenance building.
For the second time in two months, Vandalia is hosting an organization's national gathering.
The city of Vandalia has asked for assistance from its consulting engineers is trying to take care of a water leak.
And the mayor has asked the engineers to have the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to take the city's issue into consideration as they decide on the release of water from Lake Shelbyville.
Marty Huskey, the city's water plant superintendent, told the city council on Monday that they have been using purple dye in an attempt to find the leak, and believe it is between the city's water and sewer plants.
Alderwoman Dorothy Crawford told other members of the Vandalia City Council on Monday that she realized after voting with them two weeks ago to OK a new panhandling ordinance that she made a mistake.
But the other seven aldermen declined her request to reconsider the approval of that ordinance.
Crawford asked to have the ordinance voted on again, saying that after it was approved at the June 1 meeting, and after talking to some individuals, she arrived at the thinking that the ordinance "was not given the discussion it really warranted."

The Area 5 Radioactive Waste Management Site
Like most LLW, RTGs disposed of at the NNSS were handled without any special equipment or clothing because of the relatively low dose rate levels.
An irradiator from Sandia National Laboratory was disposed of at the RWMS in September 2012.
The following article was reproduced with permission from the January-April 2013 issue of RADWASTE SOLUTIONS magazine, copyright 2013 by the American Nuclear Society.
The NNSS is home to a state-of-the-art waste management facility, providing a permanent disposal option for a select group of LLW/ MLLW generators whose programs have passed a rigorous approval process.
By Angela Ramsey
Throughout its rich 62-year history, the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) has been a leader in U.S. Department of Energy research and development, national security initiatives, and environmental management activities.
In the past few decades, the NNSS has served as a critically needed low-level waste and mixed low-level radioactive waste disposal resource for DOE and U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) sites across the nation. The NNSS is home to a state-of-the-art waste management facility, providing a permanent disposal option for a select group of LLW/ MLLW generators whose programs have passed a rigorous approval process. Much of the LLW/MLLW, consisting of packaged debris, trash, soil, equipment, tools, and discarded personal protective clothing, comes from the cleanup and deactivation of facilities associated with past nuclear research, development, and testing conducted under the Manhattan Project.
Although missions have evolved across the DOE Complex and waste disposal needs have changed, the NNSS has maintained a steady commitment to safety, responsible service, and the protection of workers and the environment.
In the early 1960s, under the authority of the Atomic Energy Act, the NNSS—then known as the Nevada Test Site—began disposing of LLW in the southeastern portion of the site known as Area 5. Following Area 5's early success, the NNSS constructed an additional disposal location approximately 15 miles to the north in Area 3. Initially, the Area 5 and Area 3 disposal sites were used for waste generated through onsite nuclear weapons testing and research, but operations later evolved to include the acceptance of cleanup-related waste.
In 1978, the NNSS waste disposal program was formalized, establishing criteria for the acceptance of LLW generated at the NNSS and other DOE- and DoD-approved facilities throughout the United States. The expanded NNSS waste management practices were solidified when the LLW Policy Act Amendments of 1985 clarified the DOE's responsibility for the disposal of DOE-generated LLW and classified DOD-generated LLW. It is important to note that the NNSS does not accept commercially generated LLW.
The NNSS location proved suitable for LLW/ MLLW disposal for a combination of reasons. Two major considerations were the site's remoteness and security. Covering 1360 square miles, the NNSS represents one of the largest secured, restricted-access areas in the United States. The site is surrounded by thousands of additional acres of withdrawn land for use as a protected wildlife refuge and a secure military range, which totals some 5470 square miles of unpopulated land. The nearest population center to the Area 5 is a rural community 24 miles to the southeast.
The site's arid desert environment was also considered ideal for waste disposal operations. Both the Area 5 and Area 3 Radioactive Waste Management Sites (RWMSs) are located in closed basins that are well above the water table at approximately 770 feet and 1600 ft below ground, respectively. Recharge of the groundwater is not possible under current climate conditions, because the average annual rainfall is four to six inches, and evaporation exceeds rainfall by 12 times. This combination of extremely dry climate, deep groundwater, and thick alluvial soil with a high storage capacity for water limits the likelihood of water migrating into the waste zone or groundwater.
Area 5
The Area 5 RWMS is the only currently active disposal site at the NNSS. The Area 5 RWMS covers 740 acres, of which approximately 200 acres have been developed for radioactive waste storage and disposal. The Area % RWMS is made up of 38 excavated disposal cells; 31 of these cells are filled and closed. Construction is under way for an additional cell with plans to build two more to meet the needs of the complex.
In general, waste containers are stacked in Area 5 disposal cells, one upon the other in a stair-step configuration, until the stack reaches 4 ft below the top of the cell walls. The waste is placed in a 20 x 20 ft grid system inside each cell so that waste can be tracked once containers are covered soil. A specially engineered MLLW disposal cell was also constructed in Area 5 with a state-of-the-art liner and leachate collection system designed in accordance with a Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) permit issued by the state of Nevada.

Area 3
The Area 3 RWMS is a 128-acre disposal area formerly used for the disposal of larger or bulk-type packages. Subsidence craters formed in Area 3 during historic underground nuclear tests were converted into disposal units. Rather than stacking the waste in columns, waste is disposed of in a layer-cake configuration, with each layer of waste covered by a layer of compacted soil ranging from 1 to 3 ft in depth.
Although Area 3 waste disposal operations officially began in 1968, the site received relatively little waste until 1976, when a large volume of bulk waste came in from the cleanup of tunnels in NNSS Area 12. Area 3 continued to operate until 2006, when the site went into inactive status.
Over the years, NNSS waste disposal operations have demonstrated consistent high standards when it comes to safety and performance, according to Jhon Carilli, waste expert at the DOE's National Nuclear Security Administration Nevada Site Office.
"Our exceptional safety record is a direct result of a highly trained workforce and well-crafted procedures," said Carilli. "These procedures take into account not only environmental regulations, but also strict federal and state safety standards. Our philosophy," he continued, "is rooted in the idea of safety at every stage of the disposal process."
How Does a Generator Qualify to Ship Waste to the NNSS?
Long before waste can be shipped to the NNSS, waste generators must undergo a process of intense reviews, inspections, and certification processes to ensure that everything—from characterization, packaging, and transportation to disposal and monitoring—is in accordance with the NNSS Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC). The NNSS WAC is the formal document that outlines the specific requirements for NNSS waste disposal, taking into account additional requirements set forth by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), RCRA, and other applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations.
First, Nevada Site Office waste acceptance personnel visit generator sites to make sure all generator policies and procedures meet or exceed the NNSS WAC. Part of the evaluation includes verifying that worker qualifications and processes are accurately reflected in the documentation submitted. NNSS waste auditors then conduct visual inspections of proposed waste streams and the methods used to characterize the waste to determine disposal eligibility.
Once a generator's program is approved, the proposed waste stream must be evaluated. Detailed descriptions or "profiles" of each proposed waste stream must be submitted to the Nevada Site Office for approval. Profiles include specific information on the waste origin, quantity, composition, packaging, and the analytical and preparatory methods used to characterize the waste.
The profiles then undergo extensive review by the NNSS Waste Acceptance Review Panel, a group consisting of waste acceptance personnel, Area 5 disposal operations supervisors, and key State of Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) representatives. "Our top priorities are the health and safety of Nevadans and the protection of the environment," commented Tim Murphy, chief at NDEP's Bureau of Federal Facilities. "NDEP's participation in the Waste Acceptance Review Panel allows us to review the waste coming into Nevada and better protect the interests of our stakeholders." The panel deliberates, makes recommendations for waste approval/disapproval, and forwards recommendations to the head of Nevada Site Office federal disposal operations for the final determination.
The NNSS works with approved generators to ensure waste is packaged and transported in accordance with the NNSS WAC and DOT regulations. Prior to waste acceptance at the NNSS, generators and their contracted shipping carriers must exhibit full compliance in terms of packaging, routing, shipping documentation, permits, etc.
When a waste shipment arrives at the NNSS Area 5 RWMS, disposal operations personnel verify that shipping documentation matches previously approved paperwork. Each truck, trailer, and container is then surveyed to ensure security seals are in place and the package is intact and appropriately labeled. Waste packages may be subject to inspection with onsite X-ray technology if further verification is needed. If during inspection waste is found to be out of compliance with the NNSS WAC, the waste may be rejected and returned to the generator site.
Once the waste has successfully passed final inspection, waste trucks are allowed to access one of the several excavated
disposal cells within the Area 5 disposal area. As mentioned, waste is scanned and positioned within a grid system in the appropriate cell. The 20 x 20 ft grid system uses letters and numbers to locate waste packages once covered with soil. This tracking system helps waste personnel monitor the accumulation of radionuclide quantities and, if need be, retrieve waste packages.
Following waste disposal, Area 5 personnel use special equipment to perform ongoing air, groundwater, and soil monitoring. These monitoring methods work to ensure radioactivity is below allowable regulatory levels and provides early detection in the
unlikely event that radionuclides migrate from the immediate disposal area. In addition, experts use computer modeling software to conduct periodic performance assessments on the waste cells. These three-dimensional mathematical models help scientists make forecasts about the potential short- and longterm risks associated with waste disposal.
Historically, the Area 5 disposal facility has been reserved for conventionally packaged waste in containers such as steel drums or wooden and steel boxes, but over the years the NNSS waste program has demonstrated the capability to accommodate specialized waste as well. These wastes are accepted on a strict case-by-case basis and must comply with all federal and state regulations and requirements.
Take, for instance, a recent campaign to dispose of large, high-powered batteries called radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs), also known as space batteries. From September to October 2012, five separate shipments of the cylinder-shaped RTGs were trucked in from Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee to the RWMS. Components of the RTGs, which are designed to provide heat and electricity in remote environments, are made by scientists and engineers at the DOE's Idaho, Oak Ridge, and Los Alamos National Laboratories.
As is the case with all specialized waste, the NNSS waste management program put special procedures in place to handle the RTG disposal. "We tailor disposal procedures and update site performance according to the special requirements of a particular waste item," explained Carilli. "This is to ensure worker safety at the time of disposal and also the safety and performance of our disposal units over the long term."
Following a careful offloading process, several of the RTGs were placed in excavated holes at the bottom of a waste cell. Some RTGs with lower radiation dose rate levels did not require deeper burial in the bottom of the waste cell and were positioned alongside standard LLW containers. The RWMS has accommodated other LLW items of unusual size and shape, such as tanks, gloveboxes, and generator parts.
In September 2012, waste crews at the Area 5 RWMS disposed of a tubed-shaped irradiator unit from Sandia National Laboratories.
As with all waste disposed of at the NNSS, specialized waste must comply with the rigorous certification and approval process established in the NNSS WAC.
The NNSS has demonstrated a long-standing commitment to working openly with generators, stakeholders, and state regulators, said Rob Boehlecke, Nevada Site Office Environmental Management Operations manager. "Whether NDEP is joining us on a generator audit or the Nevada Site-Specific Advisory Board is providing recommendations on waste disposal activities, we strive to maintain an open dialogue about our disposal practices, safety standards, and expectations," he explained. [Note: The Nevada Site-Specific Advisory Board (NSSAB) is a volunteer citizen's group that provides regular recommendations on Nevada Site Office environmental cleanup and waste management activities.] The NSSAB's 2013 Work Plan includes an initiative relating to the Waste Acceptance Review Panel.
Over the years, expectations at the NNSS have been clear. From the point of generation to final disposal, NNSS waste disposal specialists are committed to the safe, responsible handling of LLW and MLLW. This commitment contributes to the safety of workers, the public, and the environment and is the key to the Nevada Site Office's mission of serving cleanup efforts across the nuclear waste complex.

Beware the 'Stock Market Trading Jones'
NEW YORK ( Real Money ) -- Today, I see many traders and investors afflicted with what I call the stock market trading jones. Market participants feel compelled to overtrade. It comes in the form of a near-obsession in overtrading both on news-based dislocations (to the upside and downside) and on non-dislocations in the normal course of business, typically through chart gazing. The need to play too many earnings reports and the desire to trade macroeconomic events reside among numerous other catalysts.
There are several obvious influences that contribute to the addiction of too-frequent trading:
- Brokers. Brokerage companies have made trading at home easy and inexpensive. Sophisticated Internet-based trading platforms allow individual investors to trade actively at markedly reduced commission rates relative to any other time in history.

Henry Co. Green Power
Paris, TN – Henry County Tennessee is still waiting on a surge from green power. Hentry County Board of Public Utilities Manager John Etheridge tells the Paris Post-Intelligencer that none of the utlity's customers have taken advantage of solar power. Three months ago the utility reached a contractual agreement with the Tennessee Valley Authority that its customers could sell power generated through green sources back to the TVA as part of the Generation Partners program. Etheridge says none of BPU's customers have taken advantage of the opportunity yet, but between five and 10 customers are considering the project. Etheridge said that a love of the environment and a desire to generate clean power would have to be the motivation to install a solar array.

Tower work continues toward a fall completion
- Written by JOEL E. MAST
A concrete base for a new Logan County Courthouse clock tower was poured Tuesday, but it will still be months before the replacement is set.
Crews with M&M Concrete Co. use a concrete boom to pour a new foundation Tuesday atop the Logan County Courthouse. Midstate Contractors Inc. is overseeing the tower restoration project which will replace the clock tower damaged in a June 2012 windstorm. (EXAMINER PHOTO | JOEL E. MAST)
Doug Hooper of Midstate Contractors Inc. explained crews will have to set two-foot steel I-beams in place and then install a steel deck.
Also it will take weeks for the two-foot thick concrete walls to cure to handle more than 80,000 pounds of tower that will go on top.
In the meantime, steel is set to arrive at Midstate's Marion headquarters. Crews there will begin constructing the new tower on a concrete pad.
It will be built in sections and then transported here for installation most likely this fall.

Cancer now kills more people in the world, and in lower- and middle-income nations, than the combined total of AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
Lung, stomach, colorectal and breast cancer are the most common cancer killers worldwide.
World Cancer Day is recognized on February 4th, a good time for us to pause and realize that cancer—including colorectal cancer–is not just a disease of rich and privileged nations. It affects our neighbors across the world, and yes, we can do something about it.
Some startling facts:
- About 47% of cancer cases and 55% of cancer deaths occur in less developed regions of the world.
- By 2030, 60-70% of the estimated 21.4 million new cancer cases per year are expected to occur in developing countries.
The Union for International Cancer Control (UICC) and the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) today announced that 1.5 million lives could be saved every year if decisive measures are taken:
- Investing in cancer prevention and early detection of cancer is cheaper than dealing with the consequences. The worldwide cost of cancer will reach about $458 billion (USD) per year in 2030, yet it would cost only $2 billion per year to implement strategies known to significantly decrease cancer (i.e., efforts to change tobacco use, alcohol abuse, unhealthy diet and physical inactivity).
- Even basic pain relief is unavailable to millions. Fully 90% of opiod painkillers (e.g., morphine) are used by just five regions (the U.S., western Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand) with less than 10% used by 80% of the world population, the UICC said. In fact, it's illegal to import narcotic painkillers to 25 nations—including many in Africa.

What Will Happen If Barack Obama Loses The Election To Mitt Romney?
Opinion: What will be the outcome if Obama loses the election? Here are 11 realizations.
1) Racists will take heart. The first black president elected in American history was a failure. Not up to the job. Voters turned him out after only one term. There's no way around it, if you're a member of the Ku Klux Klan, this will be a joyous affirmation that blacks are not intelligent enough to do the job. It will also affirm by inference that women are also not qualified and other so-called labeled minorities, because racists lump them all together. This would set the civil rights movement back, which is exactly what racists want.
2) Romney will be much quicker to blunder the U.S. into its next ruinous war in the Middle East. Like George W. Bush, he's more knee-jerk in his reactions to crisis and less cautious than Obama, though conservatives describe the greater caution of Obama, for instance, relying on diplomacy to try and convince Iran to abandon nuclear development----as appeasement--weakness.
3) The economy will implode quicker under Romney. It's no surprise that the economy collapsed almost to the day George W. Bush left office after eight years of ruinous wars, spiraling defense spending and letting banks and gangster-managed corporations run wild. Romney believes in the same law-of-the-jungle slash and burn tactics and trickle-down economics that failed ever since proposed by Ronald Reagan.
Ruin of the country by billions-deficit and inability to face the truth of living over our means will also continue under Obama---but at a slower pace. Much under Obama or Romney would remain status quo. Washington will continue to be run by lobbyists whose loyalty is to their profit margin and not the country.
4) China will continue to supplant the U.S. as a superpower by profiting under unfair trade agreements with the U.S. (unfair to us), and jobs will continue to be outsourced overseas stripping the American middle class. Spying illegally, use of drones and the rise of the police state will continue as well, but once again, would be greatly accelerated under Romney.
5) Obama reaffirmed, signed and extended the Patriot Act, a bitter disappointment to me. The Patriot Act is a Nazi-spirited assault on the Constitution engineered by war criminals George W. Bush and Dick Cheney which demonizes an entire world religion (Muslim), and throws away your right to due process, attorney and trial, if you're a suspect. Much like Hitler's emergency dictatorial powers decree in the wake of the Reichstag fire in 1933, in which the Nazis told Germans they were being attacked, the Patriot Act was instituted with the numb impotent consent of dumb-down Americans. Romney loves the Patriot Act.
6) Health care will be out of reach of more Americans as Obama's weak, watered-down health care legislation is scrapped in favor of vouchers and smoke-and-mirror imitation health care options designed to fool people health care is available. In reality, a return to the old tried and true method of letting free-market profiteering-driven insurance carriers and pharmaceutical companies raise rates and fleece half the American people out of a doctor's care.
7) Oil drilling will undergo a new boom time as if there's no tomorrow, and denial of global warming will represent a curtain of deceit. No Republican since Teddy Roosevelt has seen an environmental protection he ever liked. It's inconvenient to provide world leadership in environmentalism, and unprofitable.
8) The military industrial colossus, its own world independent of everything else, which eats up two-thirds of the country's current out-of-control megalithic budget-in-the-red, will experience a new renaissance of spending and waste as the U.S. continues to be the world's arms supplier, and develops weapons of untold destructive power. Republicans do not consider military spending to be part of the budget, but an off-the-table always instantly approved given.Nonprofits that provide
9) Americans down on their luck with vital services will be further decimated out of existence in an accelerating manner by withholding their funding in favor of privatization and relying on churches to take up the slack, an Ebenezer Scrooge "let them fend for themselves" mentality.
10) PBS and Big Bird will be eliminated.
11) Men will continue to rule women's bodies as right-to-choose options including abortion and family planning come under assault as well as same-sex marriage and other lightening rod morality issues Republicans find so threatening.

The Energy Crisis
Like many others who preceded us, our "civilisation" faces an Energy Crisis of megawattic proportions, which threatens to bring an end to our brief joyride.
But our dirty little secret is seldom mentioned in the news, let alone connected to economic instability or to environmental effects on our planet. It falls to Robert Foster to bring this topic back into the fore of our consciousness, where he conducts an incisive analysis of the situation to see what solutions are out there to deal with peak energy. Join your ever-curious anchor as he invites a panoply of guests - the great, the good, the bizarre, and the downright trollsome - along to share their solutions to this crisis. In the end, the shift required might have to be psychological as well as technological.
Enjoy the ride, fellow children of the industrial revolution.

European Council to Discuss Burgas Terror Probe
EU High Representative Catherine Ashton. Photo by EPA/BGNES
Last year's terror attack in Bulgaria's Black Sea city of Burgas will be discussed at the European Council meeting on Thursday, according to EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton.
Bulgarian Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov stated Tuesday that Bulgarian investigators had "a well-founded assumption" that the perpetrators of the deadly attack belonged to the military formation of Hezbollah.
During a press conference on Thursday, Ashton confirmed that the Bulgarian terror probe will be discussed at the meeting, the Bulgarian Telegraph Agency says.
"We decisively condemn all acts of terror, regardless of where they are committed," she declared.
She added that the information provided by Bulgarian authorities will be carefully assessed.
Bulgaria's choice of whether to name Hezbollah as standing behind the Burgas bus bombing was seen as pivotal as to whether the EU will officially label Hezbollah a terrorist organization.
Israel has thrown the blame on Hezbollah right after the July 18, 2012 attack, a move followed later by the US.

Since the Miami Dolphins are now 5-8 and guaranteed a fourth consecutive season without a winning season, we can now look forward to next year.
Of course I've already been doing that the last two weeks by compiling a list of who Miami could take in round one of the draft, then by pointing out the Top 13 free agents Miami should look at.
Not to mention earlier this season when I broke down the cap scenario and then looked at a few players Miami should be looking at in the draft for all seven rounds.
Yes, even when we thought the Dolphins were playoff-bound (it feels so long ago that I could swear Jay Fiedler was the quarterback), I still had one eye on the future since I knew this offseason would be an important one.
It all culminates in this list of 10 players that the Dolphins should target over the course of the 2013 offseason. With an estimated $45 million in cap room and five draft picks in the first three rounds, Miami is in the position to make a lot of noise this offseason. Can they do it, and who should they go after in order to do it?
I don't know if they can (if Ireland is in charge I'm willing to say they can't), but I can tell you who they should go after on this list.

RUSTON, LA -- U.S. senator Mary Landrieu paid a visit to Ruston on Friday, dedicating a new addition to public safety.
Landrieu, along with Representative Vance McAllister and other officials, cut the ribbon on the new Lincoln Parish Public Safety Complex.
The 24,000 square foot facility will serve 29 parishes in the region.
It will be home of the Lincoln Parish Homeland Security Director, the parish fire chief and the sheriff's criminal and juvenile services divisions.
In 2009, Landrieu secured a nearly $1 million earmark to pay for about half of the complex's construction costs.
Because of this, officials say the parish will not have to raise taxes to cover those costs.

With A Growing Catalog Of Nudie Pics, Top Chef's Ty-Lör Boring Is Anything Butt
Our bros at Fleshbot (NSFW) got their mitts on some meat-and-two-veg photos of current Top Chef contestant Ty-Lör Boring, an openly gay hash-slinger from Brooklyn.
It turns out Ty-Lör quite likes to display his wares: He's put out the full spread in issues of Butt, Scum Bag Fag Mag and Headmaster Magazine. (Um, we have all three—how could we not notice him before?)
On the show, the oft-naked chef is somwhere in the middle of the pack: He's been at the bottom three times but just won a recent challenge. And Gothamist has some interesting tidbits about Boring, who works at Spasso in the West Village (fully-dressed we presume):
[Boring] explains how he was cast out of his religious hometown at a young age but is drawn back now as both of his parents struggle with their health: his father has suffered 10 heart attacks and his mother is dying of silicone breast implant poisoning.
Sure, the whole thing, including his name, might be part of a bizarro performance art piece, but we give him props for playing it, ahem…straight.
On his Bravo profile, Boring confesses he's not all that frou-frou: "I have had a lot of great meals in my day but the simple honest pleasures of street food make me happier than 16 courses of anything."
Meh, that's fine—we're pretty lazy in bed.
But seriously Ty-Lör, how do you keep your hands off Tom Colicchio?
Source: Fleshbot (NSFW)
@Truthful: Is this supposed to mean something? Or are you just in a pissy mood today?
for a white boy..he is PHYNE!
Bag Fag Mag? Seriously? ROFLMAO! Too funny.
I don't find bald guys attractive.
@Interesting: Who gives a shit what you find attractive? Ty-Lor is hot and, I'm guessing, a hell of a lot more "interesting" than you.
I'd fuck that in a hot second.
@interesting…of course you're entitled to your preferences, but that's pretty strange to not find a guy attractive just because he doesn't have hair–that's almost like a reverse fetish. There are a lot of really hot bald guys. What's more interesting is your need to express your feeling here.
He might not have hair on top of his head, but after watching episode 6, he is attractive by my books. He showed more ballz in that episode than in these pics when he man-ed up to his mistakes. ALSO, in episode 8, he cooked his tribute dinner for his nanny which shows humbleness and respect. He seems to be a good catch on T.V. He just needs to dump that bitch of a friend, Heather. God that woman needs therapy.
@Esculapio Mitiríades Torquemada de la Cueva: If you did't give a shit, you wouldn't have responded. So, you give a shit.
@rj: I am also not into twink-model, blond haired 22 year olds, but I suspect a lot of gay men are. I have my taste, which tends to be eclectic in terms of race, look, etc. One of the rare categories that never does anything for me is bald guys. I like running my hands through a guys hair as I am having sex with him. If I met a bald guy, came to like him, would I not date him over it? No, I would date him because the totality of who he would make him sexy. Am I going to drool over a sex spread of a bald guy where I know nothing else about him? No, I am not going to drool over a bald guy. the point is I never say never, but as a rule of thumb, he does nothing for me because I am distracted by his lack of hair.
You know I never thought I was into bald-headed men myself. Now I have been with one for 6 years and I just want to touch it all the time :D
He looks like an organ grinder.
Sorry but I can't get ever the ridiculousness of how his name is spelt.
Well my hat is off to you Ty.
I could sit and write quick witted little one liners as queens/gay men think is funny or gets them noticed,, but boys, save it for when y'all try out for Rupaul's Drag race. Adversity and controversy is the golden ticket/ the Deed to Camelot, for the media. So who is the Man with a marketing smarts here.
So applaud for him and save the Bitch bites and be men.
Who wouldn't want a dish prepared from a chef that has eyes the demeaner that could make a Nunn commit cardinal sin.
Keep it up Ty, and pack light carry on. You are going places with this.

'Top Gear: The Complete Season 3' Launches Onto DVD
Now that we know when Top Gear is going to be blasting back onto History (in just under a month!), BBC Worldwide can release Top Gear: The Complete Season 3 onto DVD. If Season 2 was the show coming into its own, Season 3 is the show going full speed ahead. With Season 3, The Powers That Be have finally noticed that Top Gear USA's secret to success is the same as the UK version: just let the crazy people drive the cars and get out of the way.
Some of the best episodes of the series are in this season, including "Taxis," where hosts Adam Ferrara, Tanner Foust and Rutledge Wood are unleashed on Las Vegas, as well as "College Cars" where they get in trouble in Mexico, and Adam finally getting to exert some measure of authority in "Adam's Show." One must also make mention of "Doomsday Drive," which having personally witnessed parts of it, is one of the more destructive adventures.
There are still some challenges here that have been seen in the UK version, but those are fewer now, and the boys have some moments here that Clarkson, Hammond and May would applaud (keep your eyes open for a flying Mustang). For more details on the episodes, you can check out more reviews here.
The truth is, though, the best of Top Gear has less to do with the challenges and more to do with the constant, consistently hilarious and often inappropriate banter between the hosts. They never stop, and they never should, because they're great together. It really becomes obvious in this season why these three gentlemen were picked to host Top Gear.
If you need proof of this, listen to the two audio commentaries in this set (for "Monument to Moab" and "College Cars"). Be sure you've watched the episodes without commentary first, because these three talk straight over almost everything, dishing on moments that didn't make the cut, good-naturedly taking every available shot at each other, and generally having a great time. In fact, there are shenanigans going on during the recording of these commentaries. As far as commentary tracks go, these are possibly some of the most entertaining ever made.
Add those into solid audio and video, and a fair mix of special features that also includes a reasonable selection of deleted scenes and host interview snippets, and this set is a bonafide winner for anyone who loves Top Gear, cars, or just laughing so hard that you may have trouble breathing.
There's a 'but' coming here, unfortunately: Season 3 hasn't corrected some of the cosmetic issues that existed on the Season 2 DVD release. The menus still look badly pixelated. There's no booklet included and the menus don't provide any additional info, so you're on your own when it comes to episode descriptions or which deleted scenes are from which installment.
And the special features are still lacking in basics - for example, in the bonus footage where Tanner drives Carl Edwards' NASCAR racer, there's no context to the footage - no introduction or explanation of how he got there or why he's doing it. Then here's a question: why does the Allman Brothers' "Jessica" play over the title menu when it hasn't been the theme song to Top Gear USA in two seasons?
However frustrating those things are, they shouldn't dissuade you from checking out the best season of a TV show that hasn't yet quite gotten its due. Top Gear fans and curious TV viewers alike will enjoy this inexpensive ($20) and laugh-out-loud set. Just don't be drinking while you're listening to the commentaries.
To get your own copy of Top Gear: The Complete Season 3 on DVD, click here. You can also click here to read my feature with co-host Tanner Foust. Season 4 begins on History on September 3.

Michele Bachmann, 55, is an ideal candidate. Not that she should be expected to win the office of the President of the United States, nor even the nomination of the Republican Party, but, it so happens that she represents all the American fundamental, conservative values that patriots claim to hold dear. For this reason, The Bad Eagle Award for American Patriotism is given to Michele Bachmann.
Michele Bachmann, 2012.
Bachmann is only the fifth recipient of this special award, the first (September, 2008) being Ann Coulter, famous conservative commentator and author; the second (December, 2008), Amil Imani, a Persian (Iranian) American who relentlessly resists the invasion of Islam into the Western world; the third (February, 2009), Charlie Meadows, a native Oklahoman who has done more than any single individual to effectively advocate conservative values in the state; the fourth (May, 2010), Randy Brogdon, a former Oklahoma state senator and Republican candidate for governor. Bachmann has shown a devotion and consistency together with a patriotism and conservatism which put her foremost in the country in American idealism and national values.
More than this, Michele Bachmann's personal life is a refulgence of affection for family, people, and patriotism that recommend her as the most worthy of all candidates for the American presidency.
She has been married to Marcus Bachmann for thirty-three years, raised a family of five children, and provided foster care for 23 more children over the years. This is a woman with a great deal of love, and one who understands the technique of unselfishness. Her example is truly stellar.
Bachmann worked on kibbutz Be'eri in Israel in 1974, at the age of 18. She earned a B.A. from Winona State University (Minnesota) in 1978; in 1986, she received her J.D. from Oral Roberts University; in 1988 she earned an LL.M. degree in tax law from the William & Mary School of Law. Bachmann worked as an attorney for the IRS from 1988 to 1993. She and her husband Marcus operate a Christian counseling business in Minnesota.
Michele Bachmann is conservative Christian, and believes in the exclusive sanctity of marriage between a man and a woman. She believes that homosexuality is a choice, and this belief, together with her pro-life position, makes her the target of extensive media blackouts.
In 2000, Bachmann became the Republican state senator for Minnesota's District 56. She won again in 2002. In 2006, Michele Bachmann became Minnesota's first female Republican congressman—representing the 6th congressional district.
Bachmann's bid for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012 may or may not reveal a public appreciation for what she stands for. The media has blocked her out, essentially, due to its fearful bias in favor of the homosexual lobby. Pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-Christian, and pro-Israel are simply not positions that invite media coverage. Bachmann is a career activist in these things, and cannot expect fair and equal media exposure. The media seeks to advocate the opposite of Bachmann's values.
More than any other candidate running, however, Bachmann has demonstrated consistency in American conservative values. There is no question about this. There is also no question that these essential American values will not win enough votes to defeat the alien, lying black African Communist Muslim traitor in the White House. Not enough people really value America—as defined by the Constitution, as characterized by the most basic historical events. Not enough people believe a woman is strong enough to carry the burden of Americanism through the swamp of deceit and treachery in Washington. A woman with love in her voice will be buried alive.
The American people have no faith—no faith in the strength of truth. The people simply do not have confidence in the truth. The legal system has destroyed that confidence. Our free elections have proven that the weak outnumber the strong. The infantile prevail. And, "Woe unto thee, O land, when thy king is a child." Ecclesiastes 10:16.
BadEagle.com has supported Michele Bachmann before. Although the words of Ann Coulter are the wisdom of the moment, we want, for the record, to say that Michele Bachman should be the next president of the United States. What she is and stands for is what America needs.
Michele Bachmann will not likely become president, nor probably do even reasonably well in the primaries. This does not mean, however, that she is the most worthy candidate, the most exemplary American, and the most patriotic candidate running. It simply means that most voters aren't really American.

By Dan King - Newcastle United Club Reporter
Sir Bobby Robson's trusted goalkeeping coach, Simon Smith, believes only Steve Harper's loyalty to Newcastle United prevented him from winning an England cap.
Nowadays, Smith works with the national team's best young goalkeepers - including Newcastle's Freddie Woodman - as well as running his own coaching school but was at St. James' Park between 1993 and 2004.
And he has no doubt that Harper could have played for his country but for the presence of Shay Given, who was such a formidable barrier in more ways than one. This week it was confirmed that Harper's 20-year spell on Tyneside was over and Smith joined the queue of former coaches and players to pay tribute to the 38-year-old.
"I first came across Harps when Terry Gennoe was the goalkeeper coach and I was working at the Academy," Smith told nufc.co.uk. "Then when I stepped up to the first team, that's when our working relationship started so to speak.
"I appeared at a strange time. Ruud Gullit was manager. I got the job in the summer and both Shay and Harps were injured. During that time we had several trialist goalies.
"I don't know if it's common knowledge but one of the first things Ruud said was 'I'm looking for a new goalie.' So I ended up, in my first couple of months doing the job, looking for a goalie - which I never found, really. We got Tommy Wright on loan and then Ruud Gullit left, Sir Bobby came and the rest is history as they say."
Given showed himself to be one of the very best goalkeepers around, but Smith has no doubt that Harper was also deserving of such recognition - even if he only occasionally got the chance to prove it.
"People say all the time now, 'we've got the two best goalkeepers in the Premier League'. We didn't have the best two goalies in the Premier League: we had the best two Premiership goalies.
"I don't think Harps ever considered himself as a number two goalie so he came with that attitude every day for training - that he was as good as Shay. When I first got the job, they had different strengths and weaknesses. Harps is a terrific 'games player' - his reading the game, sweeping up and distribution is absolutely fantastic.
"Shay had other qualities: a great shot-stopper, very quick and agile, and as a pair they actually learnt off each other. What Harps couldn't do, Shay could and vice versa so as a working environment it was fantastic and they really did work off each other.
"Shay then got in the team and was so consistent that it was difficult for Steve to get in. But then when he did get in for the odd game, he played as though he'd been playing every week. That's special, I've got to say. I've not seen anyone else since who can do that.
"The Champions League game against Juventus in 2002 is one great example of him coming in from the cold and putting in a great performance but he did it on so many occasions. When Sir Bobby wanted to give Shay a rest - even though Shay never wanted a rest - he knew that Harps was just going to come and play with the same level of consistency that Shay had.
"I have nothing but admiration for Harps for the way that he's kept his level of commitment, training and attitude going through what, for him, must have been a massively frustrating time.
"I said this to Shay recently, but looking after Shay was easy because he played every week; the real key role of the job was looking after Harps and keeping him going. I think during my time Wolves came in for him, and Southampton, but because he was classed as a first-team goalkeeper we didn't not want to let him go.
"I have so much admiration for the way he managed to keep going at the highest level for so long. That's the thing that will stick with me.
"At the time, if he had got in the team - and this is an awful thing to say - he'd have possibly had a chance of being in the England squad because it was in that time before Joe Hart. A couple of other people got selected who were a surprise and I think if Steve had played every week, because of the level that he could play at, he would have been in with a shout."
Harper is keen to continue his playing career at the age of 38 but has previously spoken of his desire to become a coach and Smith said: "He's also one of those people who are willing to talk about an experience, which for people doing their coaching awards or fellow goalkeepers is absolutely invaluable.
"I think he'd make an excellent coach for two reasons. One, that the lad himself as I said before was a teriffic games player and his reading of the game, so from that side of it.
"But also, through his career at Newcastle United he's worked with so many different people - managers, first team coaches and goalkeeping coaches. He's the type of lad who will have picked up something from everybody whether it's good or bad. That's an experience that you really can't buy.
"It'd be nice if he went into management or coaching and had a really successful career doing that as well."
