US Senate panel to vote on Syria action as early as WednesdayMichael Shepard
Published: September 4 2013 - 10:42AM
Washington: The Republican and Democratic leaders of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee have agreed on a draft resolution authorising military force in Syria that will be subject to a vote by the panel as soon as Wednesday US time.
"Together we have pursued a course of action that gives the President the authority he needs to deploy force in response" to the use of chemical weapons last month, Senator Robert Menendez, the committee's chairman, said in a statement.
Among other provisions, the draft sets a 60-day limit on military action in Syria, with a possibility for a single 30-day extension subject to conditions.
It also includes a provision banning any use of US armed forces on the ground in Syria, according to the draft document, which is due to be voted on by the committee on Wednesday.
If it is approved by the committee, it would be sent to the full Senate for a vote after members return on September 9 from their August recess.
President Barack Obama has called for Congress to approve his request to use US military force, in limited strikes, to punish the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad over a chemical attack on August 21 outside Damascus in which more than 1400 people were killed.
Senator Menendez, of New Jersey, said he reached the agreement with the panel's top Republican, Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee.

|RE: Is there anything we can do to make AOOo code more usable by LibreOffice?
|Tue, 13 Sep 2011 13:04:42 GMT
I favor Pedro's approach. I don't know that it is so much about LibreOffice wanting to be being different from Apache OOo, although that might be in the thinking of some (on either project). LibreOffice has almost a year of active development separate from OpenOffice.org, and Apache OOo has not even had code to kick around until the past few weeks. I can't follow Michael Meeks' numbers, and I definitely can't follow the math that the subsequent report comes up with. It seems to me that cherry-picking by a fork is always the situation and not one that there is much to say about. Also, the desire to refactor the code base, including the repositories and the build process, was proclaimed as an opportunity for LibreOffice practically from the start, nearly one year ago. OpenOffice.org did not follow that same course and divergence seems to have happened on both sides since the fork point. Bringing the code to Apache OOo is introducing more divergence. I am heartened that there are seasoned OO.o developers working here as committers and also on LibreOffice. There are additional LibreOffice developers who contribute on ooo-dev, ask questions at general-incubator and legal-discuss, etc. Opportunities for making the Apache OOo releases appealing to downstream adopters is something that will need to be worked out over time by folks with understanding of both sides of the transfer opportunities. Cross pollination on fixes for common bugs would also be good. In short, do good work and play nice? -----Original Message----- From: Pedro F.

Looking across the rest of the spec sheet, HP hasn't skimped on the sundries. Bluetooth, Wireless-N Wi-Fi and Gigabit Ethernet are all present and correct, while HP makes a small song and dance about its 'Night Vision' webcam that features an infra-red LED for illumination. We gave it a try and it does work, but we can't see it being that useful.
Of greater concern is the 15.6in display. Unlike US versions, where you get a bright, Full HD resolution effort, UK models are stuck with a distinctly mundane 1,366 x 768 resolution affair. This resolution is helpful in games, since it doesn't tax the hardware as heavily, but we found the quality of the panel is little better than many cheap, £500 to £700 laptops. Viewing angles are shallow, colour production uninspiring and black levels merely okay - all of which is distinctly disappointing for a supposedly premium laptop.
Some compromise has been made with the connectivity as well, though it's not as drastic as the display. As such you still get three USB ports (one of which offers up eSATA), HDMI for video, an Ethernet port and (on the front) a memory card reader. In true Apple style, though, a single audio jack combines both headphone and microphone duties. There's no FireWire port either, which will disappoint anyone of thinking of using this system as a mobile video editing machine - a task to which it's surely well suited.
One thoughtful touch, however, is that all three USB ports are sleep-and-charge enabled, so you can charge mobile phones (iPhone excluded), MP3 players and extricate discs from the external DVD drive even when the laptop is turned off. This is sensible thinking on HP's part, though we reckon the lack of FireWire is a real mistake given its potential competition.
What really hampers the Envy 15, however, are its keyboard and touchpad. For starters the keyboard isn't backlit, which is a necessary prerequisite for any premium laptop these days. More irritating, however, is the addition of a column of shortcut keys on the left-side of the keyboard. Since these look just like any other key, they create the illusion of being part of the normal keyboard. This is very disorientating and led us to hit the key to left of the one we intended - i.e. hitting Caps Lock instead of 'A'.
Actually, if you can get your head around this, the keyboard is pretty good. Its keys have a nice crisp action and extra shortcut keys aside, the layout is very good. Unfortunately such leeway can't be given to the touchpad, which is a bit of a disaster.
Like Apple, HP has chosen to integrate the touchpad buttons into the touchpad itself - though you still get two of them! Unlike Apple, however, HP's execution is atrocious. Using either buttons constantly results in inadvertently jogging the cursor, often leading to clicking on something entirely different. This is a fundamental failing that overshadows the otherwise neat implementation of multi-touch which, among other things, allows for two finger scrolling.
The HP Envy machines are a disaster. As you state, it's clearly work in progress but would the likes of Apple release a machine that's half baked?
I know two people that ordered the Envy and they returned them. I think you were very kind with the review, I think anyone that had paid out of their own pocket for this machine would be hard pushed to score it anything above a 3!
The keyboard itself isn't too bad, but it's the touchpad that's the real issue. Bearing in mind this is how the user interacts with the machine, I can't see how something that has been so badly implemented ever made it to market.
Interesting review, I had been considering one of these however the lack of the 1080p screen compared with the USA version for pretty much the same price points just seems an insult. Coupled with your review and others I have seen they really did drop the ball with this machine. Too bad.
I'm considering a new i7 based laptop for purchase next year. Interested in the Envy models and Elitebook range from HP as it's definately time to upgrade from my HP n610c! This model looks quite promising, but then the keyboard looks quite poor and the screen resolution is poor beyond belief. I mean, even my 6-7 year old n610c has a 14.1" screen with 1440 x 1050 resolution! It's such a shame that high spec notebook is let down with a few below par features. Is trustedreviews going to get the Elitebook 8540w or 8740w models in for review? From what I've heard they have all the right specifications including proper keyboard and full HD resolution screen in a 15.4" and 17" size.
As a cheaper alternative it's worth looking at the new HP DV6-2060ea. it has a lot of the same features as the Envy, but can be had for around £850.
I was looking very closely at this laptop but it just costs too much!
In the end I opted for the HP ProBook 5310m, it's aimed at the business user but it's very well put together as a machine and cost only £800!
The black aluminium casing is just very sexy and everyone loves it who I have shown it to. Same great isolated keyboard as most HP laptops have these days and a very speedy HDD.
The top of the range VQ470EA#ABU also features a in built in SIM slot for mobile broadband to make it look even slicker.
This less well known ultra portable laptop is a little gem.
Buy a Macbook Pro and put Windows 7 on it. It's a far better option than getting an Envy.
@Sleeper I would love a Macbook Pro but they need to hurry up and introduce it with the Core i7 which this laptop has. I use my laptop for recording multitrack audio and want as much power as I can get. The Core 2 Duo Macbook Pros just seems ridiculously overpriced at the moment given their last-gen architecture.
It would also be nice if they could make a laptop with good DPC latency like my Pentium M! Most Montevina laptops - Apple Included - have dreadful DPC spikes which make audio recording a real pain.

Area 51 Spy Planes - UFOs
Extraterrestrial Life Forms - Bacteria in Meteriorites
Back to:
UFO Stories
A NASA scientist stated this year that he believes
small filaments and other pieces within meteorites are
the remains of bugs or bacteria. Astrobiologist,
Richard Hoover said that "filaments and other
structures in rare meteorites appear to be microscopic
fossils of extraterrestrial beings that resemble algae
known as cyanobacteria."
Interestingly, Dr. Hoover has found three meteorites
with the artifacts that are older than any fossils known
to exist on Earth, making them ancient, even before
the crust of Earth was formed. This means the fossils
are proof that life existed within our solar system as the
planets were forming, coming together and eventually
falling into their current orbits.
Think about this: If Dr. Hoover is correct, this
would mean that life began elsewhere first before
it started on Earth. And, this would also increase
the likelihood that life exists elsewhere within the
universe. The fragments, according to Dr.
Hoover, do not contain any traces of nitrogen, a
component necessary for life on Earth. This
would confirm that the life forms are
extraterrestrial and not contaminates from Earth
as some would like to believe.
In 1996, a meteorite was discovered to have biomorphic structures, according to
NASA, tubules similar to bacteria. This old news seems relevant, today, in light of Dr.
Hoover's recent announcement.

Anything in space hitting you when you are doing .97c will punch a hole straight through your space ship - and the background radiation of the universe will be blue-shifted upto very uncomfortable temperatures.
I'm not sure how you defined this one Phractality. Are you assuming both systems F0 and F1 to be 'still' relative the expansion, in terms of co-moving, relative what? In F0 relative a planet inside the system, but in F1 relative some imaginary points in space, but made how? And how would they differ from using Earth as a coordinate? Either you assume that those points can be defined as unchanging even if considering a expansion, which I don't think is possible globally, as you from any other point must find fond those points positions to 'move' in a expansion?
If a expansion is related to the space around galaxies then you have only the points inside the galaxy to use, if on the other hand a expansion is allowed to exist inside the galaxies, gravity and mass (suns/planets) acting a buoys in the water, anchored relative each other keeping a same distance then no position can hold true? Except relative gravity/mass possibly. And then all positions become 'relative', relative a expanding vacuum.
If I assume all galaxies as being 'unmoving' relative each other, as in uniformly moving galaxies keeping their distance relative each other (Ignoring a 'expansion' that should mean, not their motion relative each other:). Then arbitrarily defining any of them as my 'point of origin' will present me with different time dilations/length contractions, depending on how I define my relation relative that other galaxies 'relative motion'. And as each galaxy can be used as that point of origin, and as we can assume us to measure different 'speeds' relative those other galaxies it all becomes a relative question what length contraction, or time dilation, you might expect measuring. Or maybe I'm missing the point here?
Yeah, I see what you mean, but to be concrete about a time dilation/contraction here you must need to consider what their motion is, relative each other, in any uniform motion, as I think? Consider A and B moving as one, 'at rest' with each other relative A and B meeting/passing each other. Maybe it's me needing to see how comoving is defined? I've thought of that as a 'mathematical device' simplifying the math by excluding the effect of an expansion, but? You still have galaxies moving in opposite directions and even if ignoring a expansion it should matter what velocity they have relative each other.As for the rest i will need to read it carefully Phractality, and hopefully see how you think there tomorrow. It's quite late here now
Maybe this one will help? ...sorry, you cannot view external links. To see them, please

When it comes to a expansion I'm not sure what it means in form of 'time dilations & LorentzFitzGerald contractions' actually. The reasonable (most simple) approach to me is to treat this as any other 'motion'. But then we have the question if the expansion is accelerating. If it is then we should notice the 'gravity' changing, to fit relativity. And as far as i know the gravity measured has not changed?So then we have the idea of a expansion being something belonging to 'space' and distinctly different from any ordinary type of 'motion'. If that is correct you can ignore a expansion for this as a guess. The whole idea of 'space' in 'motion' actually makes me head hurt.
Let me see if I get it right Are you thinking of including the expansion in the calculations of where a celestial object should be, not where it appears to be according to the light we measure at each time? And then also consider how much the space would have 'expanded' under the time it took for that celestial object to get where its 'real position' should be? Meaning not the 'apparent one' when judging by the light itself.
When it comes to a 'blueshift'?I don't know at all, if a blue shift is definable from a expansion we need to assume some sort of interaction between a light quanta and 'space'. And if 'light' is a field, then the wave picture is not enough to explain it. Only if assuming that 'waves' is what create a 'field' and the 'excitations' we call 'photons' would it make sense to me. Assuming a 'field' and then thinking that this 'field' creates 'waves'? And then also define those waves as some better approach to the light-duality create a 'preferred frame' to me, and tells me nothing in the same time.
Interesting reading you Phractality I'm thinking that an expansion, if existing, only relate to blue shifts, for now that is. If it does it becomes a statement of a geometry changing, and the geometry change being equal in all directions at each 'point'. Then we will either need to put a layer of 'waves' upon this geometry and describe it from that, or we will need to assume some deeper connection between light and space, aka a field. But a field is not waves, and it's not photons. It's a field, and what makes a field change is the arrow, not interactions per se. Interactions is a second hand effect to the idea of there being a arrow of time to me.
Nikstlitselpmur? Can you prove that light lose energy propagating? If you mean that it is frame related I agree but if you treat a light quanta in situ, then it never lose any energy. Better link up what you state there.
K, that makes sense Although one thing, if you're discussing a time dilation/contraction too you must then specify relative what frame you define it. In this case it would be the CBR as I understand you? When it comes to F1 relative F0 you then should expect a similar blue and red shift for both, generally seen, as both then must relate their dilations etc to the cosmic background radiation. I think you need to go into why you need to define two different SpaceTime coordinates relative how those entities (F1 F0) move a little more for me to get it. If you're assuming that the plasma cooled differently depending on relative motion/acceleration for those measuring I think you are correct, and if using the CBR as the 'preferred frame' defining it you will find each observer to have its own 'time scale', although all of them related through Lorentz transformations. It's tricky in that different uniform motions must bring with it different time dilations etc, relative what is measured locally. And there, as you point out, you also have relativistic blue shift which differs from normal blue shift (ambulance sound). Assuming you can ignore relativistic blue/red shift you can simplify it a little But you need to define relative what you measure the effects as I think.==K. it's been fun Phractality
That's gravity Nik If anyone can prove it otherwise I'm very interested but as far as i know the light disappearing from the far observers frame of reference will, in a thought up 'comoving' frame, or better expressed, 'at rest' with that light propagating, still be there, happily making its way.
Light loses energy due to gravity at its origin,as it travels through space and away from its point of origin, this was predicted by general relativity, and proven by Radek Wojtak of the Niels Bohr Institute. The universe may in fact extend trillions of light years beyond the Hubbles field of view because the light from these distant objects loses most of its energy before it comes close enough to observe. CBR may in fact be the extent of the distance light can travel before it fades away, as objects beyond this limit would still emit radiation which travels farther than light due to the energy imparted at origin, Red shifting light has less energy than blue shifting light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays have more energy than radio waves, microwaves, infrared, and visible light, and therefor travel farther.
BTW Nic, if you don't mind, what has your ideas to do with Phractality's? You saw something you thought of as a common nominator or? Was it the question for the thread??
Light from beyond the Hubble limit can never reach us because the distance between us and the source is increase faster than the speed of light. The CMBR that we see comes from stuff that was close to the Hubble limit when the plasma first became transparent.
That's true Nik, you can apply a receding/shrinking point of view towards us existing as matter, instead of defining it as a expansion, as they become mirrors of each other. Distance is a weird subject in relativity too. I've just reread Radeks hypothesis about light relating it to time dilations and I'm not sure what's so different with it compared to Einsteins treatment of it with 'clocks'? They will still only be a consequence of 'frames of reference' meaning always demanding relative comparisons between your local clock/ruler and some other frame? What exactly do you find different with it?

A pile of collapsed tents, a mountain of what locals call "trash", and a slight whiff of raw sewage was all that remained of the occupation of Los Angeles last night, after police successfully evicted demonstrators from the centre of America's second largest metropolis.
In the early hours of the morning, 1,400 officers descended on the public space surrounding City Hall, where around 800 members of the so-called "99 per cent" have spent the past seven weeks. By dawn, the encampment, which in recent days had been swelled by several hundred temporary residents, was no more.
Police reported around 200 arrests, mostly of protesters who refused to leave once the area had been encircled. They were handcuffed, with plastic ties, and removed to a processing facility in the car park of Dodger Stadium, the nearby home of LA's baseball team. It remains unclear whether criminal charges will be filed.
Officers carried guns and batons and were equipped with riot-control devices, but they were barely used. LA police chief Charlie Beck told a press conference that "absolutely minimal force" had been employed, although his officers did fire bean bag rounds at three protesters who refused to remove themselves from a tree house.
The conspicuous absence of the tear-gassing, pepper-spraying, and occasional beatings that have characterised similar operations in other US cities was partly due to the fact that LA's Democratic administration is strongly supportive of the Occupy Movement.
Shortly after the encampment was formed, in early October, the city's mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa, toured to speak with residents and hand out free anoraks. Last week, he reportedly offered to lease them both a 10,000-square-foot Downtown office, and a patch of farmland just outside LA, if they agreed to leave voluntarily.
Although that offer seemed hugely generous – the office and farm would have been leased at a peppercorn rent of $1 per year – the Occupy protesters, who have neither formal leadership nor clearly-defined policy goals, were unwilling to accept it.
Mr Villaraigosa duly served an eviction notice, saying he was concerned at both sanitary conditions in the encampment, on what is officially a park, and the fact that several residents appeared to be children of school age. The deadline passed on Sunday night.
Despite the encampment's closure, the mayor said that a First Amendment area would remain open on the Spring Street City Hall steps where protesters could continue to voice grievances.

Its shares, which were changing hands at almost £8 two years ago, dropped from 13 1/4p to 5 1/4p. They have fallen more than 90% this year.
National Grid, which collected more than £200m when it spun off its telecoms subsidiary in December 1997, said it would no longer back it. The 33% stakeholder said: 'The Energis board should not assume that it can rely on NGG for additional financial support.'
That leaves Energis at the mercy of its bankers and bondholders. The banks, led by Barclays Capital and Dresdner Kleinwort Benson, met Energis to be formally told that it would breach the covenants laid down in December when they fixed a new £725m loan facility solely for the UK business. Total debt amounts to £1.2bn.
Energis said it wanted to amend the terms of the loans and also to use some of the money to support the European businesses ahead of their disposal.
These were bought at a cost of more than £1bn and analysts say they will fetch almost nothing and could cost several million pounds if closure is the only option. Energis will be forced to make massive write-offs.
While Europe accounts for a quarter of Energis' revenues, its losses amount to a fifth of the pre-interest and depreciationearnings made by the UK business, which supplies telephony to the likes of Freeserve and AOL.
Bondholders will also be asked to agree to a restructuring that could see them swap debt for equity, further diluting shareholders. The bonds fell to trade at 30% of their face value.
Another 400 people in the UK will lose their jobs on top of the 450 already being axed. The German, Dutch and Swiss businesses employ a further 1,000. Energis blamed a lack of new orders and failure to convert enquiries into firm orders.
Energis UK managing director Bob Taylor, who resigned today, was responsible for Energis' sales department where turf wars are said to have broken out between internet and fixed-line sales teams.
Chief executive David Wickham and finance director Bill Trent hung on to their jobs but investors said that more blood may have to flow if the company is to survive.

Looking for a fun, head-turning-kind-of-handsome companion to take on adventures and share a lifetime of memories with? Then you have found just the dog in our resident stud-pup: Ferdinand.
It's a common misconception that purebred dogs are almost impossible to find in the world of everyday animal rescue, but it's actually far from the reality. Purebreds are a common sight at shelters, and are sometimes more at risk for euthanasia than their mutt counterparts. Such seems to be the story of Ferdinand.
We first met Ferdie at the end of a long row of kennels in one of the highest-kill shelters in the area. While the other dogs around him were going into overdrive with barks and snarls, scared of the fate that may await them as each second passed, Ferdinand caught the attention of our staff with the way he approached the kennel divide with grace, caution and composure.
One look into this handsome guy's face and our jaws almost hit the floor.
A purebred, young Doberman -- and the more rare chocolate color, no less -- who had, according to his kennel information, been given up simply for having more energy than his former family could handle. A sad reason to discard such a wonderful dog, but unfortunately, it happens. A lot.
We took Ferdinand out into the small, cramped meet-and-greet kennel, and he instantly came up to our staff members and leaned into their legs, begging for ear scratches and wiggling his stumpy tail in excitement. He was patient and polite as our photographer took photo after photo, holding extra still as she snapped away, then coming over to kiss her face and sniff her camera once she'd finished.
Our hearts melted. Ferdie was so filthy, sick and sad-looking; it was probably the first time anyone had shown him any attention since he was dumped at the shelter. We knew a dog like Ferdinand would find a fantastic forever home in a heartbeat, so imagine how both thrilled and confused we were when the shelter told us we could take him because no one else was interested.
No other interest? How could that be?
Regardless, since coming to the haven of New Leash On Life's thirteen-acre Ranch property, Ferdinand has blossomed into a smart, loyal, loving guy who wants nothing more than to stretch out in the sun or play tag in the dog park.
He has earned the affectionate nickname of 'Velcro' among the staff and volunteers -- he still wraps around our legs, much like a curious but shy toddler, especially when he needs reassurance he is safe.
Ferdinand's former family obviously spent no time whatsoever trying to socialize or train him -- he would benefit greatly from a basic obedience course, and needs to get out and about in the world and try new experiences!
We have no doubt that with a little effort, Ferdinand will make the finest of family dogs, full of enough love and loyalty to last for years to come!
Click the 'Adopt Me' button to submit an adoption application for Ferdinand today!
In 2002, the organization moved to a 13-acre facility in the Santa Clarita Valley and established their base of operations there: a haven for many companion animals who would have otherwise been lost within the shelter system. The organization also established programs to help provide locals with better learning resources, to help enrich their education as animal owners.
Today, the Ranch is a borderline magical place, and offers a wide variety of additional services, such as: boarding, training, volunteer programs, CGC certification, and much more -- the proceeds from which go directly back into the rescue efforts, spearheaded by New Leash On Life's passionate staff and proactive volunteers.
New Leash On Life has also pioneered a unique program: the Lend A Paw (LAP) program, which offer training for both shelter and already-adopted dogs to become licensed therapy dogs for visits to hospitals, nursing homes, schools for special needs students, and veteran facilities.
Today, New Leash On Life can proudly say it has been directly responsible for spaying and neutering thousands of pets, rescuing, rehabbing and re-homing over 5,000 shelter dogs from various high-kill shelters all across Southern California, as well as making a continued determined effort to better educate the community on responsible pet ownership.
Together, in coalition with amazing organizations like Best Friends Animal Society, New Leash On Life is determined to save even more helpless lives, build a comprehensive network of allies to help all animals in need (even those not in our immediate area), and make LA (and beyond) no-kill, forever!

Good, the slimy lizard. The woman should be the one worried about catching something, not Bonadouchebag. From US Weekly.
Actor Danny Bonaduce Bit in the Face by Fan at Casino Appearance in Washington
October 1, 2012
by Allison Corneau
Wouldn't a simple handshake have sufficed?
Former child actor Danny Bonaduce learned that meeting and greeting fans can be a dangerous undertaking when a woman eager to meet Bonaduce bit the "Partridge Family" star on his face.
Chatting with fans at a Washington state casino Friday, Bonaduce, 53, encountered the woman during a meet-and-greet and she asked for a kiss after lavishing him with praise for his Partridge Family role.
"They were tiny little Chucky teeth. Man, they just gnawed like piranhas," Bonaduce told KIRO-TV of the woman's teeth, which she sunk into his cheek near his left ear.
"People are trying to pull her off me . . . I'm screaming like a baby," continued Bonaduce, adding that he will not press charges against the woman, who was taken into custody immediately following Friday's incident.
Given antibiotics as a precaution, the actor told KIRO-TV that he worried the woman was under the influence of bath salts, which contain amphetamine-like chemicals.

He said he thought the woman was delusional. I expect she was. No one in their right mind would want to get that close to him. The ewww factor is too high.ReplyDelete
The mugshot just made me spit my coffee. LOVE the caption. Love it.ReplyDelete
Apparently, snorting bath salts gives you really bad taste in men. Pun intended.ReplyDelete
WHAT?!?!? I met Danny in a bar on Chicago's south side about 15 years ago and I didn't have any urge to bite his face. Lots of women were whipping their 'girls' out for him to autograph, though.ReplyDelete
The lady who perpetrated this crime is my neighbor. She said he tasted like chicken. Should have known he was fowl.ReplyDelete

Hi.... Consider dietary changes. Low-fat, high-carbohydrate diets may increase insulin levels, so you may want to consider a low-carbohydrate diet .. Don't severely restrict carbohydrates; instead, choose complex carbohydrates, which are high in fiber. The more fiber in a food, the more slowly it's digested and the more slowly your blood sugar levels rise.... Consult Physician....

RecycleBank Continues to Grow its Business
Published: February 3, 2010
Recycling rewards company lands deal with eBay, lines up first city in Alabama for program.
RecycleBank, with U.S. headquarters in New York City, has announced that it continues to grow its business by partnering in a program with the online retail firm eBay.
The eBay collaboration takes the RecycleBank program beyond curbside recycling and brings consumers online, offering 50 RecycleBank points for joining eBay's Green Team community, according to a company news release. The community encourages consumers to commit to using what presently exists. Additionally, RecycleBank members will soon be able to use their RecycleBank points for discounts on eBay purchases.
"Our relationship extends the power of eBay and the eBay Green Team to reward the greener actions that more and more consumers are taking every day," says Amy Skoczlas Cole, director of the eBay Green Team. "Thousands of eBay sellers have built successful businesses by recycling, re-using and re-selling products that already exist and may otherwise have ended up in landfills. Our relationship with RecycleBank offers an innovative way to encourage and reward green-conscious consumers who are looking for more sustainable ways to shop."
In related news, RecycleBank and Allied Waste have announced that they have landed the program in Helena, Ala., the first city in the state to use the recycling incentive program.
Through the program, offered by Allied Waste Services of Birmingham, Helena residents will receive valuable rewards for recycling with RecycleBank. Allied Waste expects to have 10,000 households enrolled in the program by this summer and possibly expand throughout Shelby County.
Allied Waste, a Republic Services Group company, has established partnerships with RecycleBank in a number of cities, including metropolitan Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minn.; Cleveland; and western Massachusetts.
In December, Allied Waste distributed 95-gallon recycling carts to city residents and began picking up recyclables last month.
Starting Feb. 3, Allied Waste trucks will read the identification tags during recycling pick up and record the weight of recyclables. RecycleBank will convert that weight into points that can be used at hundreds of businesses.
The new program also brings with it single-stream recycling. Allied Waste accepts plastics 1-3, plastic milk and detergent jugs, steel and aluminum cans, newspaper, cardboard, boxes and paper products.

"Have you ever noticed that we finish each other's – "
"Lunch?" Mac interrupted with a straight face but telltale glint of amusement in his eyes.
Stella's gaze flickered to the fry she'd just swiped from her friends' plate and rolled her eyes good-naturedly. "Sentences," she finished. She popped the stolen food into her mouth and chewed thoughtfully, all the while studying Mac's expression.
"I have noticed that," he agreed after a moment's consideration. "We spend so much time together that – "
" – it makes sense we would?"
Mac nodded and offered a half shrug. "Exactly."
They stared at each other. Stella's eyebrow rose slightly as it did when she was theorising something for a case.
"Stella?" Mac prompted her.
She didn't answer. She didn't trust herself to speak in the case that she gave away what she'd been pondering over – that maybe there was something more beneath the surface of their relationship than friendship. They were so in sync with each other it very well could be more than that.
He placed a hand over hers on the tabletop between them.
"It's weird, isn't it?" she covered when she realised she'd been silent too long. "I mean, it's weird but it's also kind of…"
He inclined his head. "Nice?"
"Yeah." She ran her tongue over her lips, still wondering about their relationship, unbeknownst to her that he was thinking the same thing.
A waitress came by their table to give them the cheque before she had a chance to say anything. Mac sorted it out and dished out money to pay for both of them. Stella could tell by his expression that he was surprised when she didn't protest. She offered him a shrug. "I'll get it next time."
Alone again, they lapsed into silence and finished off their meals.
"Well," Mac said finally, entwining his fingers together, "that was nice." He smiled softly at her, some of the usual concern he carried around visibly leaving him.
Stella nodded. "Fries and all," she agreed. "Let's go?"
Mac unlaced his fingers, letting them drop to his sides. "Let's go."
They stood up and began to walk back to the lab. As they were about to go their separate ways, Stella smiled warmly at Mac and placed a quick kiss on his cheek.
"Thanks for lunch," she said. "Same time tomorrow?"
Mac offered a shrug, the glint in his eyes betraying his otherwise casual stance. "It's a date."

Bob and Beverly Lewis' Senor Swinger worked six furlongs in 1:15 2/5 around the dogs over Santa Anita's firm turf course Sunday in what could be a prep for the Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. IT) on Oct. 25, trainer Bob Baffert said.
The gray son of El Prado was fourth in the Sept. 6 Del Mar Derby (gr. IIT) in his last start. He won the Crown Royal American Turf Stakes (gr. IIIT) and Jefferson Cup (gr. IIIT) earlier this year. Those two efforts that may earn the colt a spot in the Breeders' Cup starting gate.
"Anything can happen," Baffert said. "Horses fall out all the time and you never know what can happen."
Senor Swinger has banked $360,180 with a career line of 10-4-0-1.

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Lisa Kudrow and Liam Aiken will star in the musical coming-of-age comedy-drama "Will."
David Bowie also is in talks to join the cast, which includes Vanessa Hudgens, Aly Michalka and Scott Porter.
Written by Todd Graff and Josh Cagan, the script centers on a high school outcast and a popular girl who form an unlikely bond through their shared love of music. They assemble a like-minded crew of misfits and form a rock group to perform in a battle-of-the-bands competition at their school.
Aiken is playing the title character, and Kudrow will play his mother.
Graff is directing the film, which Walden Media and Summit Entertainment will co-finance.
Aiken's screen credits include "Road to Perdition," "Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events" and "Fay Grim." Kudrow can next be seen in the feature film "Powder Blue." Bowie's last film role was in Christopher Nolan's "The Prestige."

Nearly half of all restricted licence tests end in failure for Rotorua drivers.
New Zealand Transport Agency statistics show Rotorua has a 52 per cent pass rate for restricted licence testing, since new records began in February 2012.
Meanwhile, local drivers have more success with learner licence tests (63 per cent pass rate) and full licence tests (68 per cent).
The pass rates are similar to the national average for each licence type.
At the start of last year the restricted licence test became more difficult for drivers, which is the major factor behind the low pass rate. "Learner drivers have to demonstrate a higher standard of driving to pass [the restricted test]," the NZTA said.
"Road crashes are the single biggest killer of teenagers in New Zealand, and the test is directed at improving the standards and skills of young drivers.
"Driving down the road or around the block simply isn't enough."
During 2011, before the new test came in, the restricted licence pass rate was 80 per cent in Rotorua.
The NZTA said learner drivers needed an estimated 120 hours of driving experience to ready themselves for the current restricted test.
New Zealand Driver Licensing regional manager Alan Mather, who oversees testing in Rotorua, said if local drivers did not prepare they had no chance of passing the restricted test.
"The people that have just been out with the uncle on a couple of weekends, they don't have a show," he said.
Mr Mather said it was predicted tougher testing would result in fewer deaths on the roads.
"It is probably a bit early to see that represented in the statistics, but that is what we all want to see."
Mr Mather said the testing schedule was stricter and more black and white than before 2012.
He said common failing points for the test included parallel parking and not doing mirror checks.
Jackie Birch posted on the Rotorua Daily Post Facebook page about her daughter doing the 60-minute test. "She said it was not as bad as what she thought it was going to be."
Practical driving tests in the city are done through Vehicle Testing New Zealand (VTNZ).

An Apple a Day in Two Different Ways
Every week I am excited to see more heirloom apple varieties popping up at farmers markets and in my Full Circle Farm-to-Table order. I love the possibility that an abundance of apples creates: applesauce, apple butter, apple chips, baked apples, waldorf salad, beet and apple soup, apple relish, or just plain old apple slices smeared with peanut butter.
It is disappointing that apples often get overlooked; sitting on grocery store shelves year-round, embodying the nothing special attitude we take towards foods that have been stripped of their seasonal uniqueness. They no longer announce the presence of fall, or are treasured for their fresh crisp flavor at a time when most fruits are going out of season.
However, for me, and hopefully for increasingly more of you, there is still excitement in the acquisition of the season's first apple harvest. Not only do I relish the astounding variety of flavors and varieties, I know that apples are an easy, great-tasting and versatile food that pack a healthy punch for their size (see Monday's post for more information on the health benefits of apples).
To prove it to you, and help you enjoy the versatility of this fine fruit, here are some of my favorite recipes that use apples in unexpected ways that are fun for the whole family to enjoy.
Recipe adapted from an original I came across on eatingrules.com
- 1 cup whole, steel cut oats
- 4 cups water
- 1 large apple, diced (variety of your choice)
- 1 tsp. ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp ground cloves
- ½ tsp ground dried ginger
- 2 tbsp flax seeds
- ½ cup raisins, dried cherries, date pieces or dried cranberries
- ½ cup toasted walnuts, almonds or the nut of your choice
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Combine all ingredients in a large oven-proof baking dish. Place in the oven and bake for 1 hour. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Sprinkle the nuts on top and stir in a bit of raw honey, coconut sugar or maple syrup if you like and enjoy!
- *This recipe is great for kids, as well as adults and contains a great balance of whole grains, protein and natural sugars. It will start your day off on the right foot, get your metabolism running efficiently and keep you satiated longer than processed cereals will.
Recipe adapted from original in Tamara Murphy's cookbook, Tender
- 3 large apples, diced (I like to use Gingergolds for this)
- 1 large bell pepper, diced (any color will work)
- ½ cup golden raisins
- ¼ cup fresh lime juice
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- ½ tsp hot smoked paprika
- 1 bunch fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tsp salt
- Combine all ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl. Let sit for at least 20 minutes before using so the flavors have time to marinate.
- *This relish is amazing on top of crusty bread smeared with soft cheese or served with pork chops, chicken or white fish. I like to use the relish on sandwiches and in wraps and salads as well.

Turning off Windows Narrator
Q: I accidentally turned on Windows' "text-to-speech" software, and I can't find out how to turn off that annoying voice.
A: Windows Narrator, a text-to-voice translation program, gives the vision-impaired a chance at using a PC. Narrator dutifully reads Windows' menus and text, but in an irritating, robotic voice.
Unfortunately, it's too easy to turn on accidentally, and Microsoft hid the kill switch: Every time you turn on your PC, Windows Narrator begins reading menus, keystrokes, and other onscreen text.
If you've accidentally turned on Windows Narrator, follow these steps to put a sock in its mouth:
- Click the Start menu, and choose Control Panel.
- Click the Ease of Access category.
- Choose the Ease of Access Center.
- In the Explore All Settings area, click Use the Computer without a Display.
- Uncheck the checkbox called "Turn On Narrator," then click the OK button. (The narrator will continue to announce everything you're doing.)
- Finally, either restart your PC or close the Narrator's program icon from your taskbar.
The Narrator will no longer return whenever you restart your computer.

National Signing Day is just two weeks away and the Ball State Cardinals and Head Coach Pete Lembo are hustling to get the Class of 2013 closed out with a flurry. Here are some random news and notes about what is going on:
Visitors Confirmed
Two visitors have been confirmed in the next two weeks in WR prospects Tristan Cooper (1/25) and Aaron Clay (2/1). Cooper, who played for Tampa powerhouse Plant, holds and offer from the Cardinals and has long been on the radar for Ball State fans. Clay, a 6-1 190 WR from Eastern Alamance High School in North Carolina, is still looking for an offer from the Cardinals.
New Names/Offers
Ball State recently offered a scholarship to 6-0 190 S Chris Blair of East Forsyth High in Kernersville, NC. Blair is a big hitting and ball hawking S that burst onto the scene after having a great performance in the Shrine Bowl of the Carolinas week of practice and game. Blair holds offers from FBS schools such as Western Carolina, North Carolina A&T & Morgan State.
Another name that has popped up recently is that of Florida DT Bentley Easley. The 6-2 275 Easley is an under the radar prospect from Tampa's Newsome High School. Cardinal coaches met with Easley yesterday and he came away hopeful for an offer. Easley has great size and athleticism, but played on the edge as a DE in high school. He has a high ceiling and great physical tools.
Walk-On Commits
Ball State also picked up a commitment from Walk-On LB Matt Van Hoosen of Fishers High School in Indiana. Van Hoosen (6-2 210) is a major inspirational story. As a senior this past season, Van Hoosen's father passed away unexpectedly on the morning of the Sectional Championship game. Van Hoosen started the game on the sideline in street clothes, but then decided to suit up at half time and helped lead his teammates to the sectional crown.
Stay tuned to the Ball State Insider for all of your information on Ball State Football Recruiting.

Hi everyone,
Today I collected my first BMW, a 2003 320d (e45).
It has been parked at the dealership for some time and when I drove the car home and parked it outside my house I then tried to lock the car using the key fob. Nothing happened.
I have previously locked and unlocked the car when I went to view it and it worked correctly. Is this a problem or am I right to assume that the car just needs a good run to charge up the key?
Opinions would be appreciated.

Back from Vacation!Friday, May 21, 2010
You may have noticed that I've been slacking on the posts for the last week or so. Why? Well, I went on an actual vacation. Amazing but true. The last real vacation my hubby and I went on (where neither of us was there for work or we weren't visiting family) was to Maui over 3 years ago. That trip was a disaster (I had severe abdominal pain that turned out to be gall bladder issues, had to have surgery when we got back, not to mention the drunk driver that hit us the one time I felt well enough to leave the resort). We thought we kinda deserved some time away, alone, and **gasps** without our computers!
So, I prepared some posts to auto-publish, we hopped on a plane . . .
And we went to the Big Island of Hawaii. It took us 14 hours to get there (actually, it was meant to be 14 hours, turned out to be more like 16 hours thanks to some issues we had with a plane fuel engine.), but it really was really worth it in the end.
The Big Island isn't really the big island. Its name is actually Hawai'i, the entire state is named after it. The island is about 4,000 square miles, making it bigger than the other Hawaiian islands combined and about the size of Connecticut. It's the youngest of the islands and has 11 of the possible 13 climates found on Earth! Some areas are incredibly lush, Hilo gets the most rain on Earth (over 200 inches a year), but we stayed on the west side in an area named Kohalo that is the sunniest in the islands that only gets about 7 inches of rain. Turns out this is great for resorts, but the surrounding areas are.... lava?
Really, everything immediately around our resort was lava. It was strange and interesting, and I wished I had brought my cousin (who is working on her PhD in Geology at UCSD).
Our resort was actually very lush and amazing. It was a series of buildings rather than 1 huge hotel. Rooms were in 2 story buildings, spread around the resort. There were 4 different areas to swim in, the 2 main ones being the "Adult/Quiet Pool" and the "Family Pool" areas. We spent most of our time at the family pool. The vibe there was much more friendly, the kids were well behaved and we had a cool waterfall feature. The staff was very attentive, constantly refreshing our water if our ice cubes melted, bringing us fruit or offering to spray us with Evian. Truly. I took the fruit, but I draw the line at making someone spray me with Evian.
We did spend one day at the Adult pool, which was like being on display. There was a bit of competition for having the best/most expensive look and body, you could overhear the entire conversation if someone else was talking (no waterfall to diffuse the noise), and I got tired of hearing who was only renting in the Hamptons for the summer rather than buying.
Drive about 30 minutes south and you enter the Kona area, which is known for it's coffee. We stopped at Greenwell Farms, which is the largest and oldest of the farms in the area. Coffee grown outside of this small area of Kona (even if it's grown in the Islands) has to be called Hawaiian rather than Kona coffee. A fairly high percentage of Kona coffee is processed here even if they didn't grow it, and our little 20 minute tour was really interesting. They do roast their own coffee (amazing!), and you can taste it at different farms just as if you were visiting different wineries in Napa. We brought some home, but you can order on-line as well.
The beauty highlight (besides the L'Occitane products in the bathroom) had to be the facial I got at the spa. They used Epicuren products on me, a line I've seen and heard great things about but have never used before. I think the picture above has about half of the products she used on me, these are the ones I remember for sure. My skin definitely loved my facial and I left with a few small samples, so I'll hopefully be writing about some of these products more in depth sometime!
While on vacation I did a huge amount of sunscreen testing, not to mention trying out some great new waterproof products. Stay tuned for posts!

"What? Look I have the bag, thats all I want. Never bother Mrs. Chelley again! You are a scoundrel the police are onto you!" And just at that moment the police cars sped up containing my mother, father and siblings. "Great!" I mumbled, both sarcastically and truthfully.
"Zyela, well done, this is brilliant!" the police officer prasied me as if i were a two year old, what a ridiculing old... "Yes, a better job than you could ever do!" I mumbled, stubbornly. Then out came two police officers armed with metal bats and hand cuffs (it looked like they were attending a cheesey hen night) never the less they took the scoundrel by the arms and siad, effortlessly "We are charging you with robbery and possible murder..." Murder? What did he mean... MURDER?! No poor old Mrs. Chelley couldn't possibly... No, No way... This couldn't be happening... "Zyela?" mother asked, worried. "Oh mum... Sorry!" I cried and ran into her arms.
"Is Mrs. Chelley going to... be alright?" I stammered, scared. I was still clutching my mothers torso, but I felt secure and safe whilst hugging her. "Ummm... Darling, lets get you home.

Inspiring Innovation!
March 7, 2017
We all have heard of product branding but what does it take to brand an entire city?
An incredible campaign that continues to resonate with people more than 35 years later, is the iconic "I Love New York" rebranding of New York.
September 21, 2016
Nobody wants to start a company with the idea it might fail. That would be a buzz kill and defeat the power in the innovation. But like many, most never even consider it.
Yet even optimistic entrepreneurs need a reality check before beginning a process that will sap them of their time, energy and money- as well as their investors.
June 1, 2016
As a leading product development and innovation firm, we at ATOM, know a great idea when we see it, even if it does involve reinventing the wheel.
Such is the case with GeoOrbital. The company, which is currently generating press all over the world based on a current crowdfunding campaign on KickStarter, offers a mechanized / battery combo wheel that can replace a standard bicycle front wheel to transform any bike into an electric bike in less than 60 seconds.
April 4, 2016
ATOM just celebrated its 13th anniversary, launched on 03/03/03, and we haven't looked back! We wanted to share a few of our top achievements in Product Development and Innovation over the years:

Last week, I briefly watched the NFL's Buffalo Bills and New York Jets Thursday Night Football game, and quickly switched channels. Partly because - in my opinion - football is just okay, but also because the solid red and green uniforms made me…flustered.

We know that we cannot become invisible. Yet. But don't tell that to James Bond as the new Spectre movie previews elude to tricks 007 has up his sleeve. Perhaps he will cloak himself and his ever so cool Aston Martin to become even more elusive than ever.

Cannelloni, manicotti…Manicotti, cannelloni. Both delicious Italian cuisines, however two different dishes that are often confused for one another. While reading about one of my favorite Italian Chef's, Chef Gabe, and his desire to make authentic pasta just like mamma, he spoke about not confusing cannelloni with manicotti.
Hmm. Why would one do that? Well, I will openly admit that I certainly do not know enough about the ins and outs of authentic Italian cuisine. And since my trip to the motherland of extruded flour and egg creations, I have discovered so much more than the typical pasta dishes found in the U.S. – so for the not classically trained Italian chef, confusing the many varieties of yummy cheese filled pasta is understandable.

Turn nets into decks, brah! The Bureo skateboard company moto (minus the 'brah' part) - which is made up of group of rad dudes looking to initiate social change and inspire a brighter future.
Bureo designs and manufactures a sustainable line of skateboards made from recycled fishing nets in Chile. The underlying mission is to provide a solution to the growing plastic pandemic in our oceans, where fishnets make up about 10% of the ocean plastic pollution. Bureo started by establishing the first ever fishnet collection and recycling program in Chile called 'Net Positiva', which provides an efficient way for fishermen to properly dispose of fishnets.

Companies take risks but why skip a critical step in the process and put your products future at stake?
Experiencing the immeasurable importance of taking your product through the prototype stage will not only ensure the accuracy of the new parts and assembly but also validate any proof-of-concept at key stages.

The last day we were in Nebraska Nana treated Addison to an early birthday present by taking her to her 1st Circus. Addison was so excited and her love for horses mirrors mine as a child. The only thing Addison wanted to do was the pony rides. We arrived an hour early to ensure she'd have plenty of time for this and even stayed after the show for one more ride :-)
Like I mentioned in Monday's post...please don't mind the horribly blurry pics my point and shoot produces :-(

Denny's Pulls An 'All-Nighter' For The Younger Crowd, Boasts Celebrity Menu
Denny's restaurants have been courting younger, late-night diners — those who wander in from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. The company has created an Allnighter menu program, featuring value-priced items and alternative rock music played in the restaurants.
The new value meals start at $2.99 and include Half Moons Over My Hammy, which feature ham topped with scrambled eggs between Swiss and American cheese on grilled sourdough bread. For diners looking for chicken, there are Kickin' Flavor Wraps — two flour tortillas filled with chicken strips tossed in Buffalo sauce, lettuce and Swiss cheese.
Country music group Rascal Flatts, said they have introduced the next big late-night dining option with the Unstoppable Breakfast. Named after its latest hit album, Rascal Flatts' Unstoppable Breakfast headlines the newest Denny's Rockstar menu, along with items from the rock bands Good Charlotte, Gym Class Heroes and Sum 41.
The Rockstar menu presented by Dr Pepper is part of Denny's ongoing Allnighter program, a sub-brand launched last spring that provides young, late-night guests with shareable food in a cool dining atmosphere.
"The Allnighter value menu is the latest example of Denny's commitment to young customers currently facing a challenging economy," says Mark Chmiel, Denny's chief marketing and innovation officer.

HOUSTON (AP) The Houston Rockets signed guard Garrett Temple to a 10-day contract and waived seldom-used forward Brian Cook on Saturday.
The 6-foot-6 Temple started 30 games with Houston's developmental league affiliate in Rio Grande Valley before initially signing a 10-day contract with the Rockets on Feb. 8.
He averaged 6 points and 2.3 rebounds in three games with Houston this month, playing a total of 50 minutes since guard Kyle Lowry was sidelined with an ankle injury.
The 6-9 Cook averaged only 2.9 minutes in 15 appearances this season. He was acquired by Houston from Orlando in a three-team trade a year ago and later exercised the player option on his contract for the 2009-10 season.

NHL roundtable: Kane's reputation, head contact rule, more
Sam Page: Can his reputation be salvaged? Of course—just look at Kobe Bryant's current retirement tour. I think I said something similar before the season, but whatever your opinion of Patrick Kane, nothing that happened during this season was going to change your mind—this statement from the league included. If anything, the release will further divide opinion. If you are a fan, you might take this exoneration on its face as proof he was innocent all along. If you're suspicious of Kane, you'll likely be annoyed the league would even take a stance on his innocence.
Michael Blinn: I think you hit this one squarely on the head, Sam. Folks seems to have dug their heels in one way or the other and there's not a whole lot of room for debate between them. As for his reputation, I suppose that depends which side of the hill you're on, but I do think there's going to be a large contingent of people who will always be there to remind others of his past—and that's not a bad thing. The league, however, probably did more damage to its own image than it did anything, positive or negative, to Kane's with that poorly worded release.
MB: I don't think the issue is the in-game penalty, but the inconsistency when it comes to supplemental discipline. How Bruins defenseman John-Michael Liles was cleared for his forearm shiver to the head of Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov, or Blues forward Ryan Reaves escaped any kind punishment for launching himself at Chicago's Christian Ehrhoff on Wednesday is kinda mystifying to me. I get that discipline needs to operate in a vacuum, but there has to be some kind of precedent to start leaning on, no?
SP: If Karlsson can handle the ice time over the long-term, why not? But I tend to think anything over 25 minutes will start to take a toll, especially on defensemen who rely on their skating. Even Ryan Suter confessed to gliding when his ice time was pushing 30 minutes, and the ill affects showed up in his stats.
The guy is clearly worn out. That's on Cameron, who seems to think that 25 minutes of A play and five minutes of C+ play from Karlsson is better for the Sens than 25 minutes of A+ play.
MB: You know what's better than novelty, Sam? Nostalgia. It seems to me that the alumni games have grabbed the most traction and filled the stadiums almost as well as the main events. Give me the old-timers lacing them up and strapping them on again while being as quotable as ever. Give me a North Stars jersey and an old-school Jason mask and I'm happy.

Get the Stoke City newsletter
17:10 21st January 2012
STOKE CITY suffered a blow to their excellent record against West Bromwich Albion . . . as Graham Dorrans fired home a last-minute winner for the visitors in a dramatic finish to the Barclays Premier League match at the Britannia Stadium.
Dorrans stunned the Potters with his late, late strike after substitute Cameron Jerome appeared to have earned them a point with an 87th minute equaliser.
Albion, who had won only two of their previous 29 League and FA Cup meetings, had led since the 35th minute after midfielder James Morrison had benefited from the fact that a long range shot managed to creep under Thomas Sorensen.
City's bid to get back in the game wasn't helped by the fact that Jon Walters had a penalty saved by Ben Foster after he had been brought down in the box.
But Albion seemed to adjust to the windy conditions better and City have now won only two of their last seven League matches at the Britannia Stadium.
Pulis made just one change to the side that gained a point from last weekend's game with Liverpool with fit-again Shotton coming in to replace Palacios, while another fitness doubt Delap came through a test on his calf problems.
It was immediately apparent that the strong wind would be a telling factor and it was interesting to note that the one game ever to be postponed at the Britannia Stadium was against West Brom eight years ago due to gale force winds.
Albion were the first to threaten as Thomas latched onto a long ball which caught up in the swirling wind and although Woodgate initially halted him in his tracks, the winger recovered to get in a shot that was blocked by the covering Delap.
The first chance that the Potters carved out did not come until the tenth minute after two long throw-ins from Delap caused trouble for the Albion defence, but Foster claimed an Etherington corner curling towards the top corner.
Thomas caused more problems for the City defence and Woodgate in particular with a run down the left but his cross was sliced wide by Cox.
The wind then played a part in setting up the Potters' best chance of the half as Walters fastened onto a long ball forward and broke clear, but he struggled to get the ball from under his feet and his eventual shot was blocked by Tamas.
It was Albion who looked the more menacing going forward and it took a brilliant save from Sorensen to prevent them going in front as Morrison seized on a ball given away by Wilson and hit a thunderous drive that was pushed onto the bar.
Having made such an outstanding stop on that occasion, it was cruel luck on Sorensen that another shot from Morrison in the 35th minute should swerve so late in front of him and squirm under his body to give the Baggies the lead.
City laboured in their attempts to get back on level terms before the break although a free kick swung over by Etherington caused a scramble in the box after Foster punched it straight up in the air but Olsson eventually came to the rescue.
City made an encouraging start to the second half as Walters tried his luck from long range and then Etherington burst forward down the left and saw his low centre flash across the face of the Albion goal and Shotton failed to connect with his attempt.
There was a let off for the Potters at the other end, however, as Thomas ghosted past Woodgate and pulled the ball back for Morrison to hit the woodwork for the second time in the game with the diving Sorensen well beaten.
That prompted Pulis into making an immediate change as he sent on Pennant in place of Woodgate, with Shotton reverting to right back.
With City pressing forward for an equaliser, they were caught on the counter attack by Cox who got away from his marker, but bearing down on goal, his attempt to flick the ball past Sorensen proved to be unsuccessful much to City's relief.
At the other end, Pennant made his first telling contribution with a run and pinpoint cross that was glanced over the bar by Walters.
They were given the chance to equalise in the 71st minute when the Potters were awarded a penalty when Walters, having been fed the ball by Whelan, was sent crashing to the ground by a clumsy challenge from Tamas.
Walters picked himself up off the floor to take the spot kick, but his low shot was too close to the diving Foster who saved comfortably.
Morrison had City's hearts in their mouths when he found space on the edge of the box to send a shot flashing past Sorensen's far post.
Pulis made his second change of the afternoon when he threw on Jerome in place of Shotton with Delap now switching to right back.
The change meant that the versatile Walters dropped back into midfield with Jerome going up front to partner Crouch.
And it was the former Birmingham City frontman who grabbed an equaliser three minutes from time when from a free kick whipped into the box, he glanced his header past Foster and into the far corner of the net.
But there was a final twist in the tale with the game drifting into injury time as Albion were awarded a free kick out on the left hand edge of the box and it was Dorrans who sent a shot skidding through a crowded area into the far corner.

Unfinished or Not ?
9 comments:
Yea I agree that would just do the trick and sleek it up!ReplyDelete
gorgeous shoes....Ihad to fixate on the shoes!!!
I generally like a bare leg but not with such a clunky shoe, agree a great patterned tight or legging would be better....ReplyDelete
With that shoe, I'm with you, completely!ReplyDelete
i love this look!!!!!ReplyDelete
Yep. A fun stocking and a certain rain boot I know would go perfectly ;)ReplyDelete
I do really like the hat too.
Warm hugs,
Given the weight of the shoes and clothing, we probally would not leave the legs bare. Marsha, you have such an eye for the details!ReplyDelete
Angela and Renee
She looks great...she can certainly go bare! I think an over the knee sock would look quite cute too :)ReplyDelete
She so suits that hat though!ReplyDelete
I agree with you, over the knee socks would have just finished the look.
Hope your week-end turns out to be great Marsha,
Hugs Jane x
i agree, BUT if I had legs like hers, i'd let them be the center of attention too. wow. i'm just going to tell myself that she's grumpy all the time from not eating. right?ReplyDelete
