17:14 22nd August 2009
STOKE CITY were involved in the first drawn game of the new Premier League campaign . . . but were left wondering why it wasn't turned into three points at Birmingham City.
Tony Pulis' side dominated the match from start to finish, only to draw a blank as they failed to take advantage of some good chances, most notably a close range header from Ricardo Fuller which was lifted over the bar in the 58th minute.
Birmingham rarely exerted any pressure on the City defence although Thomas Sorensen pulled off an excellent save to deny Gary O'Connor.
Pulis was looking for an improvement in his side's away form and he certainly got it in terms of the level of their performance in this match.
As expected, Pulis made two changes to the side beaten at Liverpool in midweek with Liam Lawrence and Ricardo Fuller returning to the starting line-up. The only surprising aspect of those changes was the omission of summer-signing Dean Whitehead, though the manager had indicated that he wanted to rest certain players.
The early exchanges saw a trademark Rory Delap throw-in from the right cause problems for the Birmingham defence, but nobody was able to take advantage with a decisive touch, while Sorensen dealt with a long-range effort from defender Frank Queudrue in rather an unconvincing manner, punching it up in the air.
City were forced to make an early switch when James Beattie, who had fallen awkwardly when challenging for a cross, had to limp off in the 10th minute with a damaged right knee and it was Dave Kitson who was brought on in his place.
Stoke continued to pose more of a threat and Kitson was frustrated when Danny Higginbotham whipped over a menacing cross soon after his introduction. Ryan Shawcross rose in front of the substitute but was stretching off balance as he headed over.
Kitson then got an important flick with the head to Delap's long throw from the left and Lawrence was frustrated not to force the ball home at the far post.
Yet again, Delap's throw-ins wreaked havoc in the Birmingham defence as a series of flicks off the heads of home players led to the ball flashing across goal.
While Birmingham were looking out of sorts, City were frustrated that they couldn't make the most of their superiority by putting away some good chances.
Delap was however a little ambitious with a shot from long range which rolled harmlessly wide and the first half closed with Stoke exerting even more pressure.
Encouragingly for Pulis' side, the half-time interval did not interrupt the balance of play as Shawcross headed over from another long throw-in from Delap.
Fuller was then set away on a break through the middle and although he created space for himself with a burst of pace, his shot was a tame one at Hart.
However, in the 58th minute, the City striker should have done better with a close range header after Matthew Etherington's free kick had rebounded to him off a Birmingham defender, but his effort was lifted over the bar.
A contentious free-kick awarded to Birmingham signalled a period of pressure for the home side for the first time in the game and they were lifted by the fact that Garry O'Connor almost put them in front on the hour.
Substitute Sebastian Larsson swung in the free kick from the left and O'Connor's close range header was brilliantly saved by Sorensen, pushing it out one-handed as he dived to his right.
City had the ball in the net in the 74th minute, but Fuller was penalised for using a raised hand to flick it past Hart and he was subsequently shown a yellow card by referee Chris Foy.
With Whitehead replacing Etherington, they continued to press forward but all too often the ball didn't fall kindly for them in the final third of the pitch after some neat approach work, so they had to settle for a point in the first drawn match of the Premier League season.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
my wife is making more money than i am. Will i be required to pay child support if we get divorsed? She makes almost 10k more than i do.
thank you
Child support is based on the combined incomes of both parties and can also be affected by the time sharing arrangement that the parties share with the minor child or children. If the child predominately resides with the Mother, then yes, you will definitely need to pay child support. If the child predominately resides with you, then she would need to pay you child support. If the child spends nearly equal time (which is determined by number of overnights) or at least 40% of the overnights with you, then it is possible that you may not be required to pay child support or the amount you pay may be minimal, as you will already be supporting the child based on the amount of time the child spends with you. As stated, child support is based on the combined incomes of both parties, the timesharing arrangement, any costs associated with child care and health insurance for the minor child, and then determined by a statutory formula, which allocates a percentage of the total costs to each party based on their respective incomes.
My office offers free initial telephone consultations if you would like to discuss this matter in more detail, as well as any other potential issues that may arise should you choose to proceed with divorce. Please contact my office should you like to schedule a consultation.Ask a similar question

It is fact there is no flower more much-loved by human beings than roses. That may be used in arrangements that are conventional or fresh, sweet or seductive. Roses are known to be the ultimate flowery expression of romance. Generally, it is much more liked by brides, there are few things that all bride must know about how to utilize roses in their wedding design. To get the gorgeous and luxurious look from roses, the best floral designers know that the prank is to simply open each flower. From the Rose Petals outer petals are removed to show the freshest internal petals after then each blossom is cautiously opened to its complete potential by scoping the petals outward. It is extremely time consuming to hand-bloom a rose, but if thriving and full roses is your heart's wish, this is how to accomplish that look.
A lot of brides love roses since they are conventional for weddings. Also it is fact roses are all about represents stunning look in the wedding whether it is in the hand of bride or guests. In addition, the bride dream remains from child that her wedding would be decorated with full of roses of same colors. Since the beautiful smell of roses and an amazing design of flowers that generally attract to guests in fact it heartily force to give complement. There are plenty of Rose Petals colors available which helps you match the theme of hall. Since if you are a wedding planner then you must decorate the hall with the same theme colors so that it will look most beautiful. Another the flowers that bride like to use in her wedding that is DIY wedding flower, as it's great in looking and lasted for a long time. Generally, brides like to make DIY wedding flower their self but now they don't get time during their wedding.
Therefore they buy from the florist store, as there are plenty of off line and online store that offer DIY wedding flower and Rose Petals. Also if you take long search then you will be getting various lists of flower that can be also suit to bride. Also if you take search online then countless range of flower that is present worldwide.

Woman cited for underage drinking party, misleading officers
MISSOULA, Mont. - A Missoula woman pleaded guilty in Justice Court Monday, to drinking underage and misleading officers who were investigation an underage drinking party.
Court documents say 19-year-old Emily VanOstrand hosted a party at her apartment Saturday.
Missoula County Sheriff's Department officers responded after reports of underage drinking and people jumping from a second story balcony.
The court documents indicate VanOstrand tried to hide people in her apartment and told officers there were only a few people around. Officers found 17 total and handed out 14 Minor in Possession citations.
VanOstrand told the judge she's received an alcohol citation prior to this one. He sentenced her to 40 hours of community service and she'll have to pay a $285 fine.

Cedar Rapids Gazette (Newspaper) - February 22, 1974, Cedar Rapids, Iowa Cold Pump, More Gas IOWA CITY — The colder the temperature, the more gasoline you get for your money. In fact, according to University of Iowa Chemistry Prof. Frederick Duke, a motorist gets 5 percent more gas when the thermometer reads zero than on an 80-degree day. The reason is that gasoline expands through heat and will take up more room as the thermometer rises. Thus, a gallon does not contain as much fuel on a warm afternoon as on a cold evening. Motorists in one of the colder states such as Montana or Alaska consequently may well get up to a IO percent climatic bonus at minus 40 degrees as compared with folks filling up in the sunny OO degrees of Florida. Duke points out "that it is difficult to figure exact savings due to a number of variables in temperatures, gas types and distribution systems." Ile also says that savings will be affected by the fact that gas sold for use in cold temperatures tends to be less dense in order to insure better starts. But it also gives slightly lower mileage than warm weather blends of denser gasoline. In any case, you get more energy per gallon of cold-weather gas. With gas prices fluctuating between $0 50 and $1 per gallon, even the average person may find that a 20-gallon purchase on a cold winter night could become a significant cn-conomy move — that is. if you Sales Tax Bargaining Under Way By Frank Nye DES MOINES - Fortunately for the Iowa house and senate,! they have guidelines to settle their differences — something the public employes of Iowa are after in their dealings with public employers. The house and senate will use I theirs, in all likelihood, to com-; promise their differing versions j on sales tax repeal That was obvious Friday after; the senate spent most of Thurs-! day debating whether or not to1 accept house amendments to the senate bill repealing the state's 3 percent sales tax on food, prescription drugs and prosthetic devices.

Startled by Starter Tom Lippstoclc of Dubuque enjoyed watching his brother, Paul, compete in the diving competition at the Loras-Luther swimming invitational at Loras college recently, but Tom didn't like the noise from the starter gun used in the events. Can't Control Drinking, Drug Use; Parole Revoked can find a place to get that much gas. "The same basic principle also applies to diesel fuel," says Duke. "Of course trucks have much larger fuel tanks, so they can realize greater thermal savings. This saving is added to the fact that the energy per gallon realized from dense diesel fuel is significantly greater than the energy realized from automobile gasoline." Duke thinks the only way to resolve such complex inequities in fuel sales would be to sell by weight rather than by volume as is currently done. Such a switch in sales methods would be difficult to accomplish. So a cold gas pump may continue to be man's best friend. Feld Is Against Salary Increase To Congressmen OELWEIN - Michael J. Eeld. candidate for the Republican nomination for U.S. congress in the Second district, speaking before the Communication Workers of America in Oelwein Thursday evening, said that "members of congress are presently living high enough on the hog — through the generosity of the hardworking taxpayer — without granting themselves a pay raise." Feld referred to the administration's budget proposal which would raise the present $42,500 congressional salary to $45,700 in March. $49,100 next year and $52,800 in 1976. The proposal is contained in a budget request which would include pay increases for the federal judiciary, top presidential appointees, as well as members of congress. Under a law adopted in 1967, congress, by a vote of either house, must disapprove all or part of the proposal within 30 days, or it automatically I into effect. Therefore, congress could simply let the 30 days — ending Second Fire In Five Days Hits Vinton VINTON Tho Vinton fire department answered a call at |jv Kristelle Petersen noon Thursday to an apartment!

Four-Hour Debate But no. That vote was not to come for about four hours. First, Senate Democratic Leader James Schaben (I> Dunlap) tried to amend one house amendment. This was the house amendment exempting heating fuels (electricity, gas, oil) from the sales tax. Schaben wanted to strike the word "heating" in order to eliminate the tax on all fuel used in the home for other things as well as heating. He was voted down. 27 to 17. One big senate objection to exempting heating fuels Mas that it Mould be difficult to tell how much fuel Mas used for heating, and thus exempted from tbe tax, and how much for cooking, electric lights, Mashers, dryers, etc., which Mould not he exempt. Senator William Gluba (D-Da-venport) sought to solve this with an amendment exempting two-thirds of the gross receipts from ail household fuels. He lost. 28 to 19. Then the senate finally got around to rejecting all of the house amendments, including rectums. He was accused of n<^ taking groceries valued at more ihan $20 from a car in a parking lot in Traer Sept. 23, 1971. Anderson allegedly since he was put on probation has been convicted of drunk driving in Black Hawk county, has failed to maintain employment, has abused drugs, and has been arrested for second offense drunk driving in Black Hawk county. Anderson testified that violation of his parole has been; caused by a drinking and drug problem which he cannot con-1 trol.

In addition, the officers said they had "no substantial" leads which could determine that whereabouts of Rodney Adams. 22, Fremont, Neb., and Cindy McPherson, 3, Avoca, Iowa. Young Cindy Mas taken from her mother's home in Avoca Wednesday while she Mas napping on a couch in the living room. Her mother, Vicki, authorities said, Mas upstairs bathing another child and did not hear the intruder. A witness told authorities that the suspect knocked on the door and then went inside, brought the shoeless girl out and drove away.

"We don't have any motive. He was just there and he was gone and the little girl is gone." Adams was being sought on a Iowa warrant of child steal ing and a federal warrant for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. The Federal Bureau of Investigation entered the case Thursday. A Fremont police department spokesman described Adams, a Fremont native, as a "normal fellow that liked to get in trouble once in a while. He didn't have any real bad record." A St. Paul, Neb., area resident told Howard County Sheriff Ronald Brycr in St. Paul early Thursday that he thought he saw the girl in a car at a cafe near Venice about 2(1 miles west of Omaha several hours after the incident Wednesday. Adams wasn't in the cur, and authorities said that is the last time the car has been spotted despite intensive air and ground searches in the area after the abduction. Photo Identification The state patrol late Thursday night was en route to St. Paul with a picture of Cindy for the resident to positively identify. "It appears that from the description of the girl and the car that it was the young girl they're looking for," Pryer said. "The guy who saw her is a good citizen. He thought it was pretty bad to leave a girl that young unattended in a car." A spokesman for the Potta-watamie county sheriff's office said Thursday night in Council Bluffs that investigation had "pretty well determined" that neither the father nor the mother was involved in the incident "over a child custody thing." "Both of them are pretty upset. " the spokesman said. "Perhaps the suspect was mad at one or both of them and took the daughter. We just don't know. "The little girl knew the suspect quite well since he was a friend of the family," the spokesman said. "Shi* wouldn't be too worried about going on a ride with this man."

Emotional EditingMature
I changed, my hands shaking. I knew what he was doing for the last series of pictures, even if Caleb didn't. I had forgotten about the mask part. My father had only mentioned it once.
I walked back out with the flower wreath in my hands, not sure what to do with it. They were putting the white screen back on and Luther hooked a projector up.
"We have a new rig," Caleb told me. "It will let us go in the computer room and we can see the pictures I took on this camera on the computer screen by putting in the memory card. We hooked the projector to the computer so we can look at them on the white screen. I'll be right back."
I sat in one of the three director's chairs. Luther put me in the one in the middle.
"Here," I whispered.
"I want you to keep it, dear," he said, sitting to my left. "That and the mask."
"I-I know why you did the last one," I said in a thick voice.
He squeezed my hand. "I figured you would. Let's wait until Caleb gets back, though."
I nodded and he came back out, sitting to my right. He pressed a button and the first set came up and I laughed. I smiled at them all. I really did look pretty nice in the outfits and makeup Luther put me in. When we got to the second one, though, I could tell he had picked the halter top on purpose.
"I know you don't like sexy," Luther said, "but I couldn't resist."
"Sure you couldn't," I said sarcastically and he laughed.
"I think I'll go in and fix her skin tone," Caleb said, pointing with a laser pointer. "She looks like a zombie."
I smacked his arm. "Gee, thanks."
He laughed.
Then we got to the last series. Luther put the wreath back on my head and the mask in my hands.
"Okay," Caleb said. "Please explain this one to me."
"It's part of the Romanian ritual of funerals," I whispered, looking at the mask. "In the past, they used to dress up in masks and have what resembled carnivals. They would dance and sing." I cleared my throat and they both held my hands. "Then, when the Christian religion started taking over, they stopped. People would dress in white. They wear wreaths like this one but they call them crowns."
I stopped and we went through the pictures solemnly. I let go of their hands to hold onto the mask and to wipe my tears away. Caleb passed me a tissue. When we came to the end, we all sat quietly for a while. I stood up and they did the same. I hugged Luther tightly.
"Thank you," I whispered and he hugged me back.
"Caleb told me yesterday was the anniversary of his death," he said. "I wanted to give you something special since you've helped us out."
"You guys paid me, though," I pointed out.
"We didn't pay you for finding the Stevens Rehab Center," Caleb said. "Let's go to the back and pick the ones you want to keep, yeah?"
I nodded and walked back there with him.
"I'm going to let you keep the clothes," Luther said while we all squeezed in there.
"Come sit on my lap," Caleb said and I narrowed my eyes at him. He laughed. "This time I'm not making a move. I promise."
"Okay," I said. "But one grope and I'm slapping you."
"Deal," he said and I sat down. He put his left arm around me and rested his hand on my waist. "Let's start with the Romanian pictures and go back. Is that okay"
"Yeah," I whispered.
We spent an hour going through the Romanian ritual pictures. I wanted to keep all of them but there were a few that I didn't like the angle on. The ones after that were more entertaining and I knew he had planned that. The halter top pictures did make me kind of look like a zombie so Caleb did a quick edit to make my skin back to its natural tan. While we went through them, I leaned into him to get more comfortable and he wrapped his arm around me more.
"I'm not a zombie anymore!" I said, clapping my hands and they laughed.
"You're keeping these," Caleb said, clicking to check mark the ones of my laying down with my hair fanned out around my head.
"Jeez, bossy," I said and we laughed.
For the ones where I was making the funny faces, Caleb was the one who wanted to keep all of them.
"There are, like, a thousand!" I said and he laughed.
"Yeah but you look adorable!"
"That's new," I said. "What happened to sexy?"
"Oh, you still look sexy, don't worry about that." I laughed and elbowed his stomach. "Now this one we are definitely keeping," he said, clicking on the one where I was sticking my tongue out at him.
"I can't believe you tried to get me to do a pouty face, Luther," I said but he didn't answer.
We looked around. He had left.
"I guess you can move to the stool now if you want," Caleb said.
I flushed, not bothering to hide it. I wouldn't be able to anyway.
"I'm comfortable," I whispered.
"Good because so am I," he said. "For the first two, we can edit the backgrounds," he said. "We can't for the last series but something tells me you don't want to touch them anyway."
"No, I don't," I said immediately.
"Let's go back to the white halter top," he said, shifting a little so he was sitting up straighter. I was about to get up but he put his chin on my shoulder. "So, we can keep the white for the ones where you're lying down or we can do another color."
"Could you make it look like I'm laying on grass?" I asked.
"Can a bird fly?" he teased.
"Oh shut up and do it," I said and he laughed.
"What about for the others?"
"Let's stick with the outdoor theme," I said, subconsciously resting my head on his.
He pressed back to support it.
"You're sitting on that box so let's make it look like you're sitting on a log or something."
"Ooh, forest setting," I said excitedly. "Yes please."
"I'm not messing with your skin tone any more than I have," he said. "I want your hair and eyes to pop more, though."
"They're pretty dark, Caleb. Wouldn't you have to make them lighter?"
"Normally," he said, "but watch this."
He faded the colors then enhanced the brown. I whistled, impressed.
"Time for the silly ones," he said. "You don't seem like the bubbles in the background type."
"No," I said with a laugh. "Hmm.... What kind of stuff can you do?"
"Anything you want me to," he whispered and I picked up on the double meaning but didn't say anything.
"Silly faces," I mused. "You know, I think the white background is good for me. We can adjust the colors, though."
"Not of your skin, hair, and eyes," he said immediately and I turned to frown at him.
"You're really adamant about that."
He shrugged and looked at the computer. "They're too beautiful to mess with."
I flushed some more but looked back at the computer, too. He whistled through his teeth, something I noticed he did when he was in the zone.
"Hey, Caleb?" I whispered.
"Yeah?" he asked, a little distracted.
"Thanks for doing this for me."
He smiled at me. "You're welcome," he said softly.
"You're... different," I said, shifting so I was looking at him better.
"In what way?" he asked with a small frown.
"More... serious. Not as much as a rude dick."
He laughed, looking down. "Well, I still think your body is sexy as hell and you'd look great naked but... I guess...."
"What?" I pressed when he stopped talking.
His eyes locked with mine. We stared at each other and he leaned forward, kissing me lightly on the lips. I closed my eyes and leaned into his kiss. It felt... amazing. His arm tightened on my waist and he licked my lower lip but pulled back.
"Let's finish these pictures," he whispered.
"Okay," I whispered back and we turned to the computer at the same time.

Nitro T1 Snowboard Wide
Just because you have big boots doesn't mean you want to ride a stiff freeride board built for grumpy, granola munching old dudes. The Nitro T1 Wide Snowboard hooks up the same freestyle flex, versatile twin shape, and value packed construction as the regular version, in a slightly wider platform to eliminate toe drag. The Zero Camber profile is flat for a stable and forgiving feel that still retains much of the pop and edge hold as a cambered board. Biax fiberglass provides a buttery flex for getting loose on jibs, and beefy RailKiller edges are 20% thicker than standard edges so they can take a beating when you're throwing down in the streets. The lightweight Powercore II poplar core features inlaid beech strips for extra strength, and it's got Whiplash profiling so it's thinner between the bindings for maximum pressibility and thicker underfoot for durability. Plus, the Speed Formula HD sintered base will keep you moving fast even if you haven't bothered to wax for a while.

While it may not be difficult to buy replacement parts for GMC vehicles, these days only the absolute best are required to repair your car or truck. Make no mistake, you bought your C25 Suburban because you understood you would be getting horsepower and rugged design both rolled up into one automobile. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs these days.
One of the modern conveniences we have grown accustomed to is the ability to vary the speeds of your HVAC blower.. Your would not be able to adjust the speed of the air being propelled from your vents without a functioning heater blower resistor. Because it is connected directly to the heater switch, your GMC C25 Suburban blower motor resistor adds varying amounts of resistance to the circuit that controls the blower motor. When you command your GMC C25 Suburban heater to blow on "High", it lowers the resistance so that all the amperage reaches the blower. And when you switch to low, the heater blower motor resistor raises resistance so that less amperage reaches the blower motor.
Bring your C25 Suburban back to life with the highest quality replacement parts from the experts at Car Parts Discount.

Good morning! Let's talk about cocktails!
It's not too early. You need to gather ingredients: bourbon. Hard cider (I like Downeast, from Boston). Bitters. Cherries (Luxardo!). And most importantly, honey.
My friends Ed and Teresa started keeping bees a few years ago. And this fall, I signed on as their beekeeping apprentice. (You can hear all about getting the hive ready for fall on this week's Local Food Report.) The plan is I'll follow them and the bees through the winter, spring, and summer until finally we get to the honey harvest, and hopefully by then I'll understand enough to start my own hive.
In the meantime, I'm already thinking about what we'll do with the honey. I've been substituting honey in recipes that call for sugar or maple syrup, to see what works and what doesn't. And last night we had a big hit: what I'm calling a Fizzy Bourbon Spritz.
It works like this. You put two dashes of bitters in a cup. You add a teaspoon full of honey, preferably very fresh, very runny honey. You stir until it's dissolved. You add an ounce of bourbon (or rye) and three ounces of hard cider and give it another stir. You add ice. You garnish with a cherry. You enjoy!
It's quite a nice way to end the day—refreshing, a little bit pink, and excellent sipped on the couch, in front of the first fire of the season. Hello, fall!
I actually used Bulleit Rye the first time I made this, but it's adapted from the Maker's Mark website, and it's good with a nice bourbon too. Make sure your honey is runny so it dissolves well.
2 dashes bitters, such as Angostura
1 teaspoon runny honey
1 ounce bourbon, such as Bulleit or Maker's Mark
3 ounces hard cider, such as Downeast
optional: a cherry, such as Luxardo, to garnish
Put two dashes bitters in a cup. Add the honey and stir until dissolved. Add the bourbon and cider, stir well, and pour into another glass filled with ice. Garnish with a cherry and serve at once.
