A secluded millionaires' row on the cliffs overlooking St Margarets Bay, just outside Dover in Kent, is the setting for The Cottage.
The quaint name is an inappropriate choice for this splendid six-bedroom early 20th century detached house, spacious enough to take a party of 12, with its grand terrace offering one of the best views in Britain – across the English Channel to France.
Those views are reason enough to stay here because any visitor will be drawn constantly to admire them, from the terrace on sunny days – the large table could host breakfast, lunch and dinner, too – or, when the clouds close in, from the armchairs in the lounge positioned to look out through the large rear windows. When you can glimpse the French coast, wonder at the different lives over there, and watch the mesmeric to-ing and fro-ing of the cross-Channel ferries, it's hard to tear yourself away.
Hence, this is a much sought-after neighbourhood and has been a favourite over the decades with the great and the good – Noël Coward, Ian Fleming and Peter Ustinov all called it one of their homes. Today, the actress Miriam Margolyes is a local resident. For me, it has a more special connection: the beach below was a favourite of my mother's when she was a child growing up in nearby Deal in the 1930s, before the Second World War forced the family to evacuate to the rather less attractive Potteries. If things had been different, this could have been my childhood playground, too.
The rooms
The Cottage has comfortable high-quality furnishings in the communal areas and bedrooms and features individually chosen ornaments and art, retaining the air of someone's home rather than a holiday rental proposition. The shabby front porch, entered if you approach from the higher road, does little for first impressions, and is quite at odds with the luxurious decked terrace that focuses the rear of the property on the sea and France beyond. Similarly, the posh country-house styling of the lounge and dining room is out of kilter with the modern kitchen and bathrooms. The kitchen, with its large Rangemaster, fridge-freezer and dishwasher, looks attractive and well equipped at first sight, but you'll soon be frustrated by the lack of working areas and storage space and the absence of electrical power at the island worktop where most preparation takes place.
The food and drink
There is a shop in the village but for substantial provisions you'll need to head towards Dover or Deal. Posh eats can be found down the road at Wallett's Court Hotel (with superior Sunday lunch menu at a reasonable £19.95 for three courses), where there's also a bar and a spa. Shelly's Tea Room and the Coastguard Pub and Restaurant are other local favourites.
The extras
The games room beneath the kitchen has table football, and there's a piano to play in the dining room, plus three Freeview TVs, DVD and radio with CD player. In the garden, the lawned area is small but has some play equipment and there's a barbecue to use. Beyond the property, head down to the beach, the starting point for Channel swimmers, or take a bracing walk along those famous white cliffs. South Foreland Lighthouse is nearby, the first to use an electric light and the place where Marconi received the first international transmission from France in 1899. Local attractions include the new visitor experience, "Operation Dynamo: Rescue from Dunkirk", at Dover Castle, and you can see the armchair where Wellington died at Walmer Castle. Other activities available include golf, cycling, horse riding and sailing. Take your passport if you fancy a very manageable day trip to France. (Beware, if you get a signal on your mobile phone at the house, it will roam on to a French provider – it's really that close.)
The access
The property is accessed via steps from the roads above and below, making it no good for wheelchair users. A word of advice: arrive on the top road and cart your clobber down the 16 steps – when you leave, move the car to the lower road so you can take it all down again, 27 steps this time. Children welcome. Pets allowed.
The bill
Three-night breaks start at £925, seven-night breaks from £1,207.

What's up folks? Two months ago, I introduced you to a sadly defunct Buffalo power-trio, milf, by way of a split 7" they shared with Tugboat Annie. Through their early-to-mid-90s run, they produced two albums ha ha bus (1994), antidope (1995), a pair of singles, the aforementioned split 7," and a slew of demos and comp tracks. This is the first installment in a three (or perhaps four) part series, that will examine milf's various cassette-only and short form releases, all of which saw an exceedingly limited run.
As I expressed in my post of milf's split 7" with Tugboat Annie, one record scribe likened the trio's music to a Husker Du 45 played at 33. Though not the most spot-on summation, milf dispelled a sinewy, distorto guitar sprawl with jawdroppingly tuneful sensibilities that bands from the Queen City have not replicated before or since. When they were "on," milf were the greatest thing you ever heard in your life - period. Dynamics were a biggie, and so were indelible, penetrating hooks, which wrapped themselves around your cranium with an anaconda-like grip. Per an essay on their Myspace hovel:
In their time, they were compared to an incredibly diverse list of bands including (but certainly not limited to) Fugazi, Dag Nasty, Husker Du, Sonic Youth, Cheap Trick, The Beatles, The Posies, Sugar, Swervedriver, and on and on. milf's members were true lovers of music…music of all kinds, and that was reflected in the music they made.
For this installment, I'm treating you to a four-cut 7" ep, issued on Cash Cow Records in 1993, dubbed Feasting on Fried Dough, which offers some of their finest moments ever committed to tape, including "Sell Out" and "Face." Up next is their very first demo tape, New Skin, which likely had a run of 500 copies, if that. Though most of these five tracks were eschewed from their setlist by the time they got to their Fried Dough ep and ha ha bus!, the genius gears were clearly being set into motion. Capping this set off is "Up Yours," their humble contribution to a locally released Goo Goo Dolls tribute cassette. The tribute tape which I speak of came with a Goo Goo Dolls board game, but that's neither here nor there. In the liner notes regarding the song, milf note:
We slowed it down a bit, hoping to add a little of our personality to our seemingly derivative style of suburban sloppy punk-pop.
If the vinyl pops and tape hiss have got you down, fear not, because roughly half the songs here were made available on a limited run milf cd of demos that I'm going to post for the last installment of this series.
Enjoy, and be sure to look for the second module coming in early June. To tide you over, make a point to read Matt Barber's mindblowing milf essay.

nice...I don't even have a copy of new skin. their next 2 demo tapes (why people suck & helpy selfy) are even more crucial. thanks for posting this! ----NCR (milf myspace keeper)

Thanks for chiming in haunted. Never knew the "helpy selfy" tape even existed. Would love to hear it. I have another milf tape called "rock salad." it's a rarities/demos thing with about 20 songs. It was issued on a very crude tape (the kind you used to see in three packs, sans cases for a dollar) but i'll see if i can salvage it. Hope the band doesn't mind that I'm sharing this stuff. Look for another entry in a few days!

Date of Stay: February, 2017
We spent a month here, and the park is beautiful. The price is nice, $300 for the month, electricity included. They do not have sewer hookups, but pump you 3 times a week--and that is included in the price. The staff is wonderful, and will help you with anything you need to know. The Colorado River is right there, with birds to see, and the water goes up and down depending on what is going on at the dam farther up the road that they are working on. There were 3 things we didn't like about the park. The top of the list is the dog poop all over the place. A lot of people there do not clean up after their dogs. Dog poop was EVERYWHERE. We watched the owners take their dogs just to the outside of the park on the north side, so they wouldn't have to pick it up, but inside the park they had a lot of dog owners that stay there for the winter who never cleaned up after their pets. They weren't weekend people neither, but there for the winter. A lot of people took their dogs to empty lots, looked around to see who was watching, then walked off. We saw some owners cleaning up. It's the few that don't that ruin it for others. We just don't like that much dog poo any place we go. The other thing we didn't like was the water. We've been in places where its bad, but this place had the worst. We have water streaks in our toilet bowl now we are trying to remove, but the water is loaded with sediment. They put a new well in about a year ago we were told. Don't stay without a filter, and have an extra one on hand. Ours lasted 10 days. It was a cheapy tho. We ended up buying a whole house filter and that was filthy when we left. Fuel is cheaper in AZ. Blythe only has 2 grocery stores. Albertsons, and Smart N Final. Both cost a lot, but Smart N Final is the cheaper one. Laundromats in Blythe are dirty. They are in Quartsite too so you have to just bite the bullet when doing laundry. You won't find anything cheaper to stay at than here in that area.
Date of Stay: September, 2016
This park has garbage all over it, feral cats--I counted 50 between 3 campers who obviously fed them. Dried out grass is knee deep. Half the campers have trash, broken down vehicles near them, with other stuff piled or discarded in and around their campers. Very very dirty run down place. 2 RVs at the back are the worst, with one of them having all kinds of stuff on three roof, including bedding. We drove through, and left asap. This place shouldn't even be allowed to stay open. Manager obviously just wants occupancy in here any way she/he can.
Date of Stay: June, 2016
We stopped for a couple nights & saw mostly RV's, that live here year round. We parked near an end site, as dogs aren't allowed to walk in the park. You are asked to carry them to the dog area. The dog area consists of a plowed dirt area in the sand away from the park. Rules are posted all over the place where NOT to take your dog, what not to do in different areas. There is no gate as stated in a different review, but they do have an alarm from 10pm-6am. So they request you to not come and go during those hours unless its an emergency. The whole property is also fenced in with chain link, with barb wire at the top. The entrance has the alarm that will go off during those hours I posted. If you have a guest, they CANNOT use any facilities at all in the park. None. It's even posted on the bathrooms that they are for PAYING guests only. If you have a guest overnight, they have to be a senior, which costs an additional $6. The pool was nice, clean, but seemed cooler after midafternoon when they shut off the pumps. Wifi is free, but super slow, only one device can be hooked up, or it costs extra. Checkout is 11am, with the cost of $1 an hour after that. Tons of goatherds (nasty burrs) that came from no wheres, as we didn't walk off the site. Cash or check only is accepted. It is noisy from the trains that go through every 30-45 minutes day and night. We were woken up 4 am by the horns blowing. Good for a night or two stay, but wouldn't want to stay long term. Trees are small so shade doesn't happen. Water pressure was very low. Electric was good. Very clean place but too rule happy.
Date of Stay: April, 2016
We stayed here a little over 2 weeks. I put $20 for nightly because all they ask is a donation for the electric. Monthly rates are $150. I have never seen such a clean, well taken care of park as here! Jim (the host) will do anything to make you feel at home, and Dave (owner) is same way. Wigi worked great, water pressure was good, and their showers will make you want to use them as they are spacious, and have BIG sun shower heads in them. This is close to town, yet out of the crowded areas. We would definitely return.
Date of Stay: March, 2016
The managers are beyond nice, but the park is run down, dirty, and a lot of dog feces everywhere. The managers live in the back, and it looks like Sanford & Son's yard--pure junk. They themselves let their dog run loose, and don't clean up after them, so why should others? There are a lot of junky long term campers in here, with fences, and some sites have 4 RVs on them. The hot tub is not hot, bleach-not chlorine-was used in it. Lights don't work in the room it is in. The "clubhouse" has run down broken exercise equipment. Not even sure if they work. It's supposed to be a 4 person, but very small. Laundry is reasonably priced, but it reeks of smoke from everyone smoking right outside that door and the office. The showers are run down, some kind of carpet on the floors of the showers--germ collectors bigtime. Passport America rates are $13 a night. If staying for a night or two it is cheap, but not long term unless you like run down conditions. Some sites have picnic tables that are falling apart. Friendliness beyond anything and cheap overnight is what they have going for them. Much cleaner parks elsewhere, but cost more. Needs to be cleaned up at this park. It would be nice if it were.
Date of Stay: March, 2016
This is our 2nd time staying here, & seems like alot was cleaned up outside. Some of the same campers were there, I think 1 or 2 were gone from the past, but overall seemed a whole lot cleaner. The pool & hot tub were relaxing, clean, and temps just right. Staff is friendly, & gift store inside office is interesting, with neat things. There weren't any cat smells as before so possibly cats are gone? Pizza Hut delivers, and we still avoided the restaurant as we weren't impressed from the last time there. I peeked in and it hasn't changed. They do make excellent bread though. This is a good place to stop for a day or two while passing through. We would stay here again.
Date of Stay: March, 2016
This LTVA has a dump station, potable water, and rest rooms up near the entrance. It is $40 for 14 days, or $180 for 6 months. This is a harsh area to stay in, & if you aren't prepared it can do you in. Most people have solar panels, generators, etc. The wind is non stop, daily around 15 mph, and sometimes worse. Squaw lake is nearby where you can take a 7 minute shower for $1. Burros roam freely through there that are left over from the mining days. It is a really nice place to stay, but if you don't have solar panels, and other stuff, it will be rough on you if staying long term. A Christian center a couple miles down the road offer church services, a mail room, 2nd hand store, propane (very expensive), there's a solar store there, and other things too. They aren't part of Imperial Dam, and do offer many more things than mentioned. My only gripe is people don't clean up after their pets because they are out in the desert. Some people camping there look like junk yards, but for the most part, everyone keeps their space clean. Imperial Dam also has a boat landing, day use area, swimming area, which Squaw Lake also does.
Date of Stay: January, 2016
There are good & bad things about this park. The bad is they have fees they don't tell you about until you arrive. Electricity is through the electric company, & if you have never had power in AZ,don't have it elsewhere, you will have to pay $250 deposit to hook up the first time. After that, its $25 if you return the following year. Name tags are mandatory to buy. They charge a "utility" fee for water/sewer/cable. $50 month, & if staying 5 months, $264 up front. The cable doesn't work in alot of sites.You can't pay it monthly. Very limited on where you walk your dogs.This place is monthly only. No daily or weekly rates. It caters to park model owners. T It's VERY dusty in there & needs new gravel Water gets cut off alot from lines breaking. Internet is through Aire Beam, & doesn't work half the time. Verizon doesn't work well within the park.Good points? Tons of activities. Beautiful heated pool, & hot tub. The place is kept clean. Water arobics is via a tape you listen to, that is the same over & over. They do have a mini golf that is fun, & exercise room, with broken equipment.
Date of Stay: October, 2015
We spent almost a month here, and even though we didn't use the bathroom or showers, they were spotless. They have a dog wash area here ($7), a very nice dog run, indoor heated pool & hot tub. Our lot was level, nice sized, and we had a picnic table. The lots are pea sized rocks, but the roads are wide and concrete in here. This is conveniently located near several restaurants. The staff is very friendly, and the park is super clean. It's quiet, and you feel safe in here. Alot of the people staying long term in there are quite friendly too. They have activities going on alot of times too. We had one problem only while staying here. Mice. We have never EVER had mice in the rv so it horrified us, and I still have nightmares about it. We did find out that the mice prob was very bad that year, and the old section of the park, has had the probs for years. If you stay, put steel wool at the bottom of all slides, as these nasty critters seem to find any place to come in. It took us 3 days to stop them, and we had 3 other "permanents" we met, say they deal with them all the time. They also laughingly said its a problem no one talks about, and isn't mentioned unless you say something. Other than that? This place is great. The prices are excellent, and its the best in the area to stay at as far as we are concerned.
Date of Stay: October, 2015
We stayed here for 1 night while passing through. ALot of old campers in here with junk around them. It's a gravel lot, with close sites. The showers were very old, need a major update, but were ok. The swimming pool & hot tub are stained on the bottom and walls, but were clean. The restaurant? I wouldn't eat there again. Loaded with dust stuck to the chairs, and other stuff in there. The carpeting is stained, snagged, and needs to be replaced. It's a great place to stop for a night, but not one I would want to stay at long term. Their "dog run" is just a gate out into an open area that isn't fenced in. You have to take your dog past an older rv that has cats all over the place, and you can smell the spray from them. Overall, its an ok stopping place, and clean--just needing alot of TLC.
Date of Stay: October, 2015
We stayed almost a month here, as prices are reasonable. It is kept very clean, has showers, a "clubroom/kitchen", laundry, but that's about it. The office area does smell of sewer & cigarettes as the hosts smoke alot right outside the door pretty much non stop if their boss isn't there. The sewer smell is only in the building area of the office, and a couple nearby sites. All the sites are roomy, wifi works well in most areas, its quiet in here, but no "real" activities. They just started a birthday cake & ice cream once a month, to celebrate anyone's birthday who wants to be let it known they have a birthday (feels like something nursing homes would do). They are now starting up card nights, coffee or donut mornings once a week, craps, and other games to gather and play. Not much in the activity department. Staff is nice though, and its a good place to relax, and unwind. Different sites are diff prices depending on what you want to have on your site.
Date of Stay: September, 2015
Great place to stop overnight on your way through the area. Convenient location on Route 66, walking distance to a local restaurant, and the place is loaded with history up and down the road. Owners are nice people, plenty of spaces available, free wifi, cable, and full hookups. Wifi is shut off from 11 pm-7am. When I asked why that was (as I get up before 7), the owner said that you are supposed to be sleeping at night so don't need the internet during that time. Checkout is 10 am (I thought that was rushing anyone there), but otherwise the place is a good place to stop at while going through. It's a quiet park, even being close to the road. We would stay here again.

I went by the last review in 2010. Bad mistake. We spent 1 month here due to $$. I couldn't find anyone to pay for 5 days. Their sites are mostly 30 amp, with a few 50 amp. Full hookups behind the trailers, no sewer in the wooded area. No dump station. They tell people to use an empty lot that has sewer to dump at--which has no water at it to rinse with. I had to put in a number for the site. It's just a huge grassy area with oddly numbered numbers to hook up to. I never did know what our site number was. 3 dogs roam the park & are in their clubhouse on the furniture, tables daily. They haven't had baths in forever & the place reeks. There are no firepits-not even in the tent areas. Picnic tables are broken, picnic area has no tables, beach is overgrown & gone, shoreline is slimy, their "cabins" are nothing but run down old trailers. It looks like a trailer park when you first enter it. Mostly members stay there. I only met 3 other people there not members. Labor day (Monday), they shut off the lights at night as they stated no one was there anymore so they wanted to conserve. The place is pretty, but needing a lot of TLC. A lot! The pool was kept clean, grounds are too, but very run down otherwise. Trailers are a major eye sore. There is nothing around at all. Their online brochure is from 15 years ago. Even the playground is cluttered with broken paddle boats, climbing toys, etc. We also had to move our rv due to bag worms dripping brown all over our rv. Others who came in behind us moved asap too once they saw that mess. Nature can't be controlled, but spraying would have helped with this problem. We would never stay here again.
Date of Stay: August, 2015
This was a hard campground to rate as it has its pluses, and its minuses. It was clean, quiet, the pool was spotless. We never went into the bathrooms or showers. Our first day there, a teenager walked by from up the road. A trailer park is up the road, & was told kids come into the campground ALOT to use the wifi. We saw that alot our week there. The wifi worked on & off depending on how many were in there. The fishing "lake" is pond sized and covered in green. Almost every day, the pool would have people from town come in to swim, & smoking, drinking is allowed. Ourselves, along with another family always left when that happened. The owners said they couldn't say anything as smoking is allowed outside in Illinois. It's a private cmpgrd! They could put up no smoking but I guess they like the $$ they make off non campers. If you have young kids, its a shame they let outsiders smoke. TV reception is null. Branches need to be trimmed over campsites. The arcade, pool table was removed a long time ago. Playground is very outdated but safe.

Building Coffins
Vahara, the angel of death, muses about humanity on the brink of war. ( A WWII era story).
As I look at the faces of the men around me I can name and state the time of death of each one. I know which ones won't be coming back from the next strike and I know which ones will survive by the skin of their teeth. We've eaten together, slept together, trained together and every day more of them come back in body bags. Every day I look into the fading gaze of another dying comrade as I whisper to them, trying to provide comfort in their final moments.
They trust me. They think that I'm one of them. They think I'll save them. But unlike the other medics I have never saved a soldier. They call me doctor death, laughing behind my back about how every man I touch dies. They don't know how right they are. If the men here knew that the angel of death really was among them they would never fight again but that will never be. Only the dying with learn my real name, will see my true face, cradled in safety until they can let go of their earthy remains and move on to the next world.
Some of them are laughing, trying to forget the waiting battle of tomorrow. They drink and sing, spending their last calm moments enjoying being alive. Some of them are crying, alone and hidden in their tents and sleeping bags. Some of them clasp pictures of loved ones, wives and children, while some hold tight to religion and pray. A boy no older than eighteen is huddled up against a tree, his face to one of the communal campfires. He is hiding in his jacket, his arms cradling his head as he gently rocks back and forth, fear emanating from his body. The children are always the ones that bother me the most, watching the life drain from their eyes is the hardest, how cruel death can be taking one so young. But this one will not die tomorrow. He raises tear filled brown eyes when my shadow crosses in front of the fire.

The hindbrain contains critical neurocircuitry responsible for generating defensive physiological responses to hypoglycemia. This counter-regulatory response (CRR) is evoked by local hindbrain cytoglucopenia that causes an autonomically mediated increase in blood glucose, feeding behavior, and accelerated digestion; that is, actions that restore glucose homeostasis. Recent reports suggest that CRR may be initially triggered by astrocytes in the hindbrain. The present studies in thiobutabarbital-anesthetized rats show that exposure of the fourth ventricle (4V) to 2-deoxyglucose (2DG; 15 μmol) produced a 35% increase in circulating glucose relative to baseline levels. While the 4V application of the astrocytic signal blocker, fluorocitrate (FC; 5 nmol), alone, had no effect on blood glucose levels, 2DG-induced increases in glucose were blocked by 4V FC. The 4V effect of 2DG to increase glycemia was also blocked by the pretreatment with caffeine (nonselective adenosine antagonist) or a potent adenosine A1 antagonist (8-cyclopentyl-1,3-dipropylxanthine; DPCPX) but not the NMDA antagonist (MK-801). These results suggest that CNS detection of glucopenia is mediated by astrocytes and that astrocytic release of adenosine that occurs after hypoglycemia may cause the activation of downstream neural circuits that drive CRR.

One of the standout features that makes Falls Creek unique is the majestic Rocky Valley Lake.
At 1600m this is the highest significant body of water in Australia. Just a short distance from the heart of the village, the lake provides a playground for a range of aquatic activities.
There are also incredible lakes at nearby Pretty Valley and Bogong Village, plus the village aqueducts, nearby rivers and waterfalls to enjoy.
Rods are available for hire at the Visitor Information Centre and bait can also be purchased. Pretty Valley Lake and the aqueducts also offer great trout fishing.
Launching ramps on either side of the dam wall allow for easy launching and most types of boats up to 10HP capacity are allowed. Take a leisurely spin or find that perfect spot to drop a line in the deep
Bring your bathers and take a leap off the pier. The water is cool and refreshing on a hot day and a shallow descent makes for excellent and safe paddling for children
Bring your own kayak and explore the lakeside
The main shore area features a grassy bank that is perfect for relaxing by the water, plus a number of picnic tables and toilet block.
Dragon Boats
The annual Mile High Dragon Boat Championships are held at Rocky Valley Lake on the Australia Day long weekend. Register a team, volunteer for one or just relax on the grassy banks and cheer them on!

Rocky Valley Lake was constructed as part of the Kiewa Hydroelectric Scheme in 1959 and continues to provide water for power generation.
The lake is an important feature providing water sports during the summer period for visitors to Falls Creek and the surrounding Bogong High Plains Alpine National Park.
There is an area of the foreshore between the dam wall and the boat ramp, near the ANARE shed, that is contained within the Resort. The rest of the lake and the lake foreshore is in the Alpine National Park and is administered by Parks Victoria. AGL have a lease throughout the area for the generation of hydroelectricity.

Since arriving in Columbus, Ohio State's Braxton Miller has lived up to the hype from a recruiting standpoint. As the successor of Terrelle Pryor since 2011, he has shown flashes of potential greatness for the Buckeyes throughout his career. Three years, a 26-8 record and an undefeated 2012 season later, Braxton is postured to finally be the crown jewel of college football — but it is imperative that he improve as a passer. Part of that means Buckeye offensive coordinator Tom Herman will need to allow him to play beyond what the tape says is his ability.
In Urban Meyer's power spread offense, Braxton was the focal point of the attack in 2012. Big Ten defenses showed the inability to slow him down as a runner throughout the season. He passed for 2039 yards while rushing for 1271, leading the Buckeyes in both categories.
2013 was different, with Carlos Hyde becoming the focal point of the power attack and Braxton Miller playing foil to the defense. While he once again hit the 2000/1000 passing-rushing plateau, he relied heavily on his superior mobility — although not as much as the year before. The Miller/Hyde tandem shredded defenses down the stretch, and in my opinion, the 2013 Ohio State offense was one of the most explosive and effective attacks in recent memory in the Big Ten.
In 2014, the Buckeyes may not achieve the same success unless Miller improves as a passer. While the defense got the brunt of the criticism over the last few games, Miller contributed his fair share of mistakes with his inability to pass the ball effectively. One of my biggest gripes with Miller the last two seasons was how he couldn't complete passes that either needed to be made or passes that, given his overall talent, seemed easy to complete.
One example came on the second play of the game against Michigan. Miller missed a wide open pass to Devin Smith. Although Smith dropped it, he had to adjust his body to even attempt to make the catch. The missed play also displayed the effectiveness of the power spread, because the fake-read opened lanes for Braxton to throw to the open Smith. It may come off as nitpicking, but missed throws like that have become common themes for Miller over past two years. The power spread is a unique offense that the Big Ten hasn't seen much of and may have trouble with down the line. Miller becoming an elite passer will only make it more effective.
When I looked at the Michigan and Michigan State games, I didn't see evidence to back up some of the criticism that circulated throughout the media. One example of such a quote was "the Buckeyes were an overrated team whom benefited from a weak schedule." What I saw was a quarterback who wasn't used to relying on his arm to start the game. Granted, the fault can be shared with the offensive coordinator for deviating from the normal team objective and subsequently placing his quarterback in unfamiliar territory on the grandest stage of the season. But it's also a glaring sign that the quarterback can't make throws without the benefit of the running game. In those games, Miller went 14-36 passing, a 39% completion rate. In the Michigan game, he struggled throwing the ball, as the play calling required him dropping back without the play action.
In 2014, Miller has to show that he can make effective throws in the pocket while under pressure rather than looking to run away from swarming defenses. Looking closely at the Clemson game, Miller showed that he didn't have faith in his ability to deliver passes while under pressure, which in turn lead to sacks.
If I were Tom Herman, I would look to balance out this year's offense – something that could benefit Miller greatly. With a balanced attack, the Buckeyes wouldn't have to rely on either running or passing but rather adjust their approach with the ebbs and flows of the game. Ohio State successfully ran the ball 63 percent of the time in 2013, but against Michigan State, the ground was taken away from them early in the first half. This flustered Miller, as he was now charged with moving the Buckeyes down the field using his arm. This season, I feel the Buckeyes should focus on establishing a 50-50 ratio of rushing and passing, allowing them to use either one effectively as the situation demands.
It is evident that Braxton Miller is a gifted athlete, but there is also evidence to the fact that he is a talented passer. What has yet to be proven is whether he is an elite decision maker. The question marks in his game contribute to why he was considered not ready to make the leap to the NFL. With the Buckeyes again heavily favored to compete for a Big Ten title and a spot in the new College Football Playoff, Big Ten teams will have all off-season to formulate game plans to constrict and debilitate Miller and the power spread. What will prove to be the difference maker is the consistency of Miller in the pocket and continued success of Miller on the ground.
The Michigan State game exposed some of the holes in Miller's passing and decision making under pressure. His inability to consistently make throws cost his team a chance to win. Though this can be cause for concern, as his mobility continues to evolve, I have full confidence that so too will his passing game.
Braxton Miller's talent is great but his potential is far greater. Let's hope he makes the changes that will help him become a deserving Heisman front runner in 2014.

Zaham, Mark Johnston's improving three-year-old, will need to raise his game again to get the better of some classy older rivals in the Rose of Lancaster Stakes at Haydock today. But, given his trainer's fine record with this sort, Zaham is likely to prove very hard to beat.
In a race won by the younger generation in seven of the last 10 years, Zaham (2.35) is reminiscent of Mister Monet, who won this for Johnston three years ago. With the Clive Brittain stable in form, the battle-hardened Kandidate could test Zaham but the latter's recent entry for the Champion Stakes in October suggests connections feel we have yet to see the best of him.
Haydock 1.25 The Johnston stable can make an early strike here with Annemasse, second to the useful Tobosa in the Rose Bowl here in May.
Haydock 2.00 Possibly inconvenienced by his low draw, Hoh Hoh Hoh ran on well at the finish to grab second spot in the Hong Kong Jockey Club Sprint.
Newmarket 2.15 Disappointing at Newcastle when equipped with a visor, Double Deputy has since won over hurdles in cheekpieces, which he wears today. With Ryan Moore up, he should go well.
Redcar 2.30 Now that Legendary Guest has got his head in front, he could pay to follow, bearing in mind he chased home Winker Watson first time out.
Newmarket 2.50 William Buick is a significant booking for bottom-weight Warm Embraces, who looked unlucky not to finish closer at Sandown last time.
Redcar 3.05 The in-foal Riquewihr has more to offer, judging by the way she finished into third at Thirsk last week.
Haydock 3.10 See tip of the day, above.
Newmarket 3.25 Don't Forget Faith and Gone Fast carry plenty of stable confidence, but Albabilia clocked a smart time when scoring at Ascot and she will appreciate this extra furlong.
Redcar 3.40 Liam Jones won cosily on Ragheed at Newmarket last time and the combination can click again in an uncompetitive race.
Newmarket 4.00 Artimino will be popular here and the return to 7f should suit, but no three-year-old has won this handicap in the last 10 years. Among the bigger prices, Bahiano is worth chancing with his stable in good form.
Ron Cox's tip of the day
Tears Of A Clown 3.10 Haydock
The rescheduled Old Newton Cup affords Tears Of A Clown the opportunity to continue his progress. Off the course for 14 months after fracturing his pelvis, Jamie Osborne's gelding has returned better than ever and beat some decent handicappers over a mile and a quarter at Ascot last time. Off a 5lb higher mark, he does not look badly treated and is bred to stay this longer trip.

Program 1
Operation of York General Store & Visitor Center
SYPF operates York General Store & Visitor Center for Sgt. York's home & surrounding area, including Alvin C. York State Historic Park. All attractions are free. The store/visitor center offers orientation video, brochures, maps, coordination of tours, headquarters for events, York & WWI souvenirs/books/gifts, food, supplies, etc.
Program long term success
Success means increased visitation of tour groups, classes & individuals, expansion of interpretive center, development of exhibit space/gallery, venue for traditional artists/performers, profitability year round. A brochure designed specifically for the tour & visitor center store
should be printed in quantities of 50,000-100,000 annually as it is in high
demand from area motels, resorts & Interstate visitor centers. (see
brochure attached)
Program success monitored by
Visitor center was redesigned within the reproduction of Sgt. York's general store to include distinctive areas: interpretive center, deli, gift shop, "York" gift/souvenir room. Blog launched 2010. Brochure designed & distributed to target visitation areas. Guests sign in to log kept by management. Better accounting procedures in place, new manager, new management plan, use of social media, affiliation & coordination with events @ York State Park.
Program success examples
New manager/management plan for 2010 is delivering profit for first time
since visitor center opened. More quality books, souvenirs, gifts &
other items focusing on York, WWI, military, local history, regional
culture, etc., has meant increase in sales. Targeted marketing to
specific groups & niche marketing has increased visitation. Campaign
identifying store as official free tour launch site has increased
customer base. Grant funds used to upgrade audio visual equipment makes
10- minute orientation video more enjoyable for larger groups.

Historic, Artistic, Cultural Events & Initiatives
Cultural, historic and patriotic festivals targeting k-college & adults three times per year will augment ongoing initiatives. These will include traveling museum displays, traditional arts festivals, lectures, art, performance and essay competitions, living history, WWI re-enactors, traditional music & drama. A virtual tour will be made free on the Web.
Program long term success
York's home & farm will be an annual destination (always free) for history classes from public schools within a 75-100-mile radius. A virtual tour will be available for download by teachers everywhere. Lessons focus on York's life, WWI & early 20th century rural culture. Sgt. York's living children will host/narrate, making history come alive. An historically accurate play about Sgt. York will be developed specifically for the site to be performed there & offered to other venues.
Program success monitored by
The attempts that have been made at having educational events & visitation programs have shown some success. By restructuring these events & targeting niche audiences, participation should increase. A consistent influx of requests indicates the virtual tour is needed by educators.
Program success examples
In the past events & educational programs have not been definitively established with prospective participants or centrally coordinated between management of SYPF & York State Park. Future activities will reflect core mission of each entity, will be targeted to specific visitors & participants & will be reevaluated after three consecutive years. Visitation to York physical site & downloads of virtual tour are measurable, so records will be kept. Also recorded will be inquiries, feedback, random surveys, participation in competitions, workshops, ticketed events & tours.

All along, Jeff and I kept wondering if they would move the audience inside because of the rain. As soon as we could get a better view of St. Peter's Square, we knew for sure we would be sitting in the rain, so we looked for another vendor and bought two plastic ponchos. Best purchases of the day.
We were in the square by 8:30, just like we wanted to be and we had an hour and a half to go before the Pope would arrive. In that hour and a ...

Speed RacerDirector: Andy Wachowski, Larry Wachowski
Cast: Emile Hirsch, Christina Ricci
The Matrix masterminds Andy and Larry Wachowski usher anime icon Tatsuo Yoshida's classic 1960s-era hit into the new millennium with this family-friendly story of a young racecar driver who takes on the mysterious Racer X in a custom-made, gadget-loaded speed machine named the Mach 5. Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is the kind of driver that every wheelman wishes he could be: a born winner whose unbeatable combination of aggression, instinct, and fearlessness always finds him crossing the checkered flag with a comfortable lead. In Speed Racer's mind, the only driver who could present him with any real challenge is his late brother -- the legendary Rex Racer. Rex died in a heated cross-country rally known as The Crucible many years ago, and now his younger sibling is driven to fulfill the legacy that Rex left behind. To this day, Speed Racer is fiercely loyal to family. It was Speed Racer's father, Pops Racer (John Goodman), who designed the unbeatable Mach 5, and even a lucrative offer from racing giants Royalton Industries isn't enough to get the young ace to break his family ties. Upon turning down Royalton's (Roger Allam) astronomical offer, Speed Racer makes the shocking discovery that the outcomes of the biggest races are being predetermined by a handful of powerful moguls who pad their profits by manipulating the drivers. Realizing that his career would be ruined if word of the fix gets out, Royalton vows that the Mach 5 will never make it to another finish line. Now, the only way for Speed Racer to save the family business and beat Royalton at his own game will be to win the very same race that claimed his brother's life so many years ago. In order to accomplish that formidable feat, however, Speed Racer will not only have to rely on his family and the aid of his longtime girlfriend, Trixie (Christina Ricci), but form a tenuous alliance with his longtime rival -- the mysterious Racer X (Matthew Fox) -- as well.

It's good to have those kind of movies for the children, it's exciting and also facinating for the adults as well.
good movie. I liked it . I now have the DVD.
The movie Speed Racer was really really good, but it was not what I expected. Not in a bad way, just not what I thought it was going to be. It's still really good, don't get me wrong, but different than the animated series. I recomed it to any die hard Speed Racer fans (like myself).
Lots of CGI eye candy, racing action, humor, etc. etc. etc, but... Underneath, there are really strong character values - repect, self-examination, loyalty to one's values, strong family, incorruptibility, courage, determination to succeed at the right thing. Don't let them tell you it's too long and too loud. In these troubled times, I encourage everyone to enjoy this movie to the end and see if you don't find a little Speed Racer inside of you.
I loved this movie! It's my favorite movie of the year! The effects were exciting and truly amazing!
Yeah it's Speed Racer. THe cartoon was dorky, I can remember watching it in the 70's. There was one good reenvisioning a while back but I can't find it.
THis movie is fun, with brilliant lighting especially on blu ray. The acting is ok, Spritle and Chim are fun for the kids for the adults eh meh.
The racing scenes are what you're getting the movie for which is a pleasure.
All in all a good visit down memory lane with a few twists and turns. Tim Curry is always a pleasure to watch as a villain.
People who care about animals should not rent or purchase Speed Racer. On the set of Speed Racer, a representative from the American Humane Association (AHA) witnessed an animal trainer " in an uncontrolled impulse, hit [a] chimpanzee." If a trainer is bold enough to strike an animal in front of an AHA monitor, you can only imagine what is taking place behind the scenes when no one is watching. Great apes are beaten into submission in order to train them for use in film, television, and advertising. As babies they are forcibly separated from their mothers and trained by being beaten, kicked, and even electrocuted. By age 8, they are too strong and unruly to be safely handled, so they are often warehoused or callously discarded at substandard roadside zoos. Many languish in small cages for decades. By purchasing the Speed Racer DVD, you're supporting the abuse inflicted on great apes who are forced into the entertainment industry.

This drains us;
the passion and
desperation congealed
into one. This filtering
of virtue, desire is infected,
unable to drift swiftly
through. And in that
summer, with pearly
new moons and lost

it all back--the reality

these are the summers

The Witch Doctor's Messenger
Bronn had only ever received a messenger like this one whenever some obscure relative, who'd long since fled the land and Hesper's wrath, kicked the bucket. It usually meant that he was getting inheritance money or land. It was never much admittedly, but Bronn enjoyed the idea that the old codgers thought of him at some point of their lives.
"Who's dead this time?" he asked abruptly, startling the messenger, who almost dropped his scroll. "Great uncle Finnegas? Lucille, second cousin three times removed? They all die at once, in a big fire?"
The messenger cleared his throat. "I do not know to what you are referring, sir."
Bronn's stomach dropped. "Are you from Lord Hesper?"
"Hesper? Heavens, no. I carry forth a message from one Gregory Blackscales."
Blight perked up, curiosity peaking at the mention of the kingdom's most renowned witch doctor. Why on earth was Bronn receiving news from him?
"Master of Arts, Gregory Blackscales," the messenger announced, reading dramatically from his scroll, "requires the presence of one Mr. Bronn, at his earliest convenience. Master Blackscales furthermore stresses the urgency of the matter at hand."
Bronn's blood began to boil. He slammed the door in the messenger's face, without so much as a nod of acknowledgement.
"Well, that was rather impolite," Blight remarked.
Bronn stormed into the kitchen, staggered to the crudely-cut wooden worktop, and held himself upright on his giant, deformed knuckles. He hovered here, near the washbasin, in case he felt the urge to vomit.
Blight fluttered in after him, and perched on the back of a rickety old dining chair, which was almost just as worn as the armchair. He fixed Bronn with a look. Accusation and worry.
"I saw Blackscales last week. You were running errands, and I knew I'd be home before you," Bronn explained darkly.
Blight narrowed his eyes to a glare.
"I know. I shouldn't have gone behind your back. I'm sorry, Blight."
Blight's frown softened as Bronn turned his gaze to the floor. "Why did you visit the witch doctor?"
"I'm not as young as I used to be. And - I've been feeling strange lately. Like something bad is settling in inside me." Bronn mentally scrambled around his insides, frantically searching for what could be wrong, and everything seemed to go all at once. His heart shuddered, skipping several beats. His lungs contracted, burning with every breath. His head pulsated with pain. His stomach churned and twisted, his bowels threatening to slip out of his control. He even felt an uneasy tingling in his prostate. Bronn wasn't even too sure where his prostate was, yet somehow he could feel it screaming out for attention. "What's wrong with me?" he breathed, so quietly that not even Blight heard.
"Are you going to attend?"
Bronn peered over at his glistening black companion, and a sad smile tugged at his features. "Whatever Blackscales has to say to me, Blight, it's not good. I'd hoped I'd never hear from the man again. I'm scared to know what he has to say. So I'm going to complete this, this contract for Lord Hesper before I go."
Blight felt panic rise up inside of him. Bronn was speaking in a way that frightened him beyond comprehension. He was speaking as though he'd already been handed a death sentence. "Bronn, are you sure that's -?"
"Yes. And it's my final decision."
Bronn wearily plodded from the kitchen and clambered up the narrow wooden steps to his loft bedroom, his enormous, bare feet torturing the wood with his weight. Blight returned to his favourite spot on the armchair, and sat there for about an hour after Bronn had retired, anxious claws torturing the wood with his scratching and scraping.

Concrete questions
Hi all
Mind if I ask you these questions please.. which I have been wondering about, for example:
1) if the concrete mix ends up too dry how can you improve workability? (cannot add water!! or it changes water/cement ratio)
2)what should one do if its starts raining whilst casting a concrete slab or beam?
3)can you cast a concrete slab or beam in 2 or 3 phases? i think not due to the joint created does not allow 1 monolithic cast
4) how would you know if the concrete has reached the desired strength?
5) what to do if a lot of aggregate appears on the surface?
Plasticizers and superplasticizers may be added to a mix, prior to placement in the form, to improve workability. A ready-mix supplier is a good source of information about these 'add mixtures'.

CNN's senior political correspondent Candy Crowley, in a report on Thursday's "Newsroom" program about college student participation in the Iowa caucuses, featured two supporters of Democratic presidential candidates, one for Barack Obama, and the other a supporter of Hillary Clinton. While host Kyra Philips, in her introduction to the report, highlighted how "all presidential supporters want all the support they can get, and that includes the under-30 crowd," the report did not feature any young supporters of Republican candidates.
Crowley's report, which aired 16 mintues into the 1 pm Eastern hour, focused on the Obama campaign's outreach to the "under-30 crowd," and described him in glowing terms. "Barack Obama is a hit on college campuses. He's young. He's new. He campaigns against status quo politics."
The report also featured two sound bites from John Mahoney, a Obama supporter at the University of Northern Iowa, and one from Chris Hasstedt, a "Clinton man" who is a senior at Iowa State University.
The full transcript of the report from Thursday's "CNN Newsroom:"
KYRA PHILLIPS: It's an irony of politics. The group with the biggest stake in the future is often the least likely to vote. In Iowa, with the caucuses now exactly two weeks away, all the presidential hopefuls want all the support they can get, and that includes the under-30 crowd. One candidate in particular is counting on a big caucus turnout from college kids. Here's CNN senior political correspondent Candy Crowley.
CANDY CROWLEY, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Josh Mahoney, a junior at University of Northern Iowa, is caucusing for Obama. It's a logistical nightmare.
MAHONEY: I'm going to drive 4 and a half hours from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in my Toyota 1993 model. It's terrible, and I'm embarrassed. I'm going to come all the way down here, and I'm going to caucus.
CROWLEY: If they'll be 18 by the 2008 election, and are registered to vote where they will caucus, Iowa college students, regardless of where they're from, can participate.
SEN. BARACK OBAMA (D-IL), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: If you're going to be out of state for the holidays, come back on January 3.
CROWLEY: Counting on students to trek back to college in the middle of winter break, two days after New Year's, is an iffy proposition. Even in-state students who can caucus at home are a tough get.
PROFESSOR ARTHUR SANDERS, DRAKE UNIVERSITY: You have to identify where they're going to be on January 3 and somehow, communicate that to your field offices there, here's some people who you won't be able to contact now, because they're not there yet, but they're going to get there soon.
CROWLEY: Barack Obama is a hit on college campuses. He's young. He's new. He campaigns against status quo politics. More than any other campaign, Obamaville counts on the Joshes of Iowa.
MAHONEY: And I think we're, you know, at the right age. We're kind of get on board with, you know, a new strategy.
CROWLEY: One Obama strategist says the under-30 crowd is possibly the most highly-motivated bloc of Obama supporters. The campaign has spent the better part of the year collecting cell numbers and e-mail addresses.
John Edwards is targeting proven caucus-goers. Hillary Clinton aiming at middle-aged women, considerably safer bets than the under-30 set.
KRIS HASSTEDT, IOWA STATE UNIVERSITY STUDENT: I just called to invite you to a...
CROWLEY: Twenty-two-year-old Chris Hasstedt, an Iowa State senior, is a Clinton man himself. But he does sense that maybe the younger vote is coming of age.
HASSTEDT: I work at one of the grocery stores, which is mainly college students, and a lot of them, every time I go in there, it's a buzz about the candidates: who they're supporting, why -- where they're going to caucus, and stuff like that.
CROWLEY: Some Iowa colleges are planning to open up part of campus over the break so students can caucus.
OBAMA: Thank you so much, Cornell (Cornell College in Iowa, not Cornell University in New York).
CROWLEY: At Camp Obama, they believe -- they hope -- if college is open, they will come.
CROWLEY (on camera) A cautionary note of which the Obama campaign is well aware. In 2004, just 17 percent of caucus-goers were under 30. Candy Crowley, CNN, Des Moines.
