No. 6 USC Bounces Back for Four-Set Win at Arizona
Nov. 4, 2012
TUCSON, Ariz. - The sixth-ranked USC women's volleyball team (22-4, 10-4 Pac-12) got back on the winning track with a four-set win (25-22, 23-25, 25-20, 25-23) over Arizona (13-12, 5-9 Pac-12) at the McKale Center in Tucson, Ariz., on Sunday, Nov. 4. The Women of Troy were led by freshman outside hitter Samantha Bricio who enjoyed her eighth double-double outing of the year with 18 kills (5e, 45att, .289) and 10 digs.
USC's junior class made a large impact in the day's win as outside hitter Sara Shaw had 12 kills (4e, 36att, .222) and seven digs. Middle hitter Alexis Oglard came up with nine kills (1e, 17att) to hit .471 while libero Natalie Hagglund shared match-high honors with 19 digs. Sophomore setter Hayley Crone logged her 10th double-double of the year with 44 assists and 10 digs.
Senior opposite hitter Katie Fuller added eight kills and five digs while freshman middle blocker Alicia Ogoms buried six kills (2e, 13att, .308) and led the team with three blocks.
For the Wildcats, Madi Kingdon had 18 kills (55att) but had 10 errors to hit .145 and shared match-high honors with Hagglund with 19 digs. Shaquillah Torres had 11 kills (4e, 21att, .333) for Arizona while Taylor Arizobal had nine kills to go with 15 digs.
Shaw scored the first point of the match for the Trojans but Arizona quickly wrestled away control of the first set and held a five-point lead at 11-6 on three straight unforced USC errors. The Wildcats continued to lead and went ahead by five points again at 15-10 when Kingdon knocked down a kill off an overpassed ball, but Bricio blasted a kill off the Wildcat block to start USC's comeback. Shaw's kill cut the Arizona lead to three before a cut shot by Bricio made the score 18-16. Shaw served up an ace on the next play to pull USC within a point at 18-17 but it was an Arizona error that knotted the score at 20-all. Bricio's kill down the line gave USC the lead at 21-20 before a couple of Wildcat miscues gave the Trojans a 23-21 lead. Ogoms and Shaw teamed up to block a shot by Torres for set point at 24-22 but that was all USC needed to do as Arizona did itself in with an error on the final rally of a 25-22 USC win.
The second set went back and forth with the score tied for the eighth time at 11-all when the Wildcats stuffed one of Bricio's left-side offerings. The Cats went ahead on the next rally and staved off all of USC's attempts to tie the score once more as they earned a 25-23 win to even the match at one-all. USC fell behind by as many as four points at 18-14 when Arizona got consecutive service aces from Chanel Brown, but the Trojans replied to get within a single point on several occasions. Shaw's cut-shot kill out of transition pulled USC into an 18-17 deficit and Olgard's kill off a quick set made the score 21-20, but Arizona continued to hold on. Crone's set off a picture-perfect pass from Hagglund gave Olgard another shot at a quick-set kill for a 23-22 deficit, but Arizona earned set point at 24-22 on a kill by Halli Amaro. USC saved one set point when Ogoms and Fuller teamed up to block Kingdon but Kingdon was unfazed as she earned the final point on a kill to give the Cats a 25-23 win.
The Trojans rolled out to a 5-0 lead in the third set and looked to be in control of things but Arizona chipped away at the USC lead until a kill by Rachel Rhoades flipped the lead to the Wildcats' side of the scoreboard at 9-8. The Cats led until senior middle blocker Natasa Siljkovic crushed a shot down the line on a slide play to pull USC within a point at 12-11. Shaw found the seam on the next rally to earn a kill before Crone set the pipe for Bricio who got the kill and a 13-12 USC lead. Fuller went off the Wildcat block to give the Trojans a 15-14 lead and served up an ace to put a four-point advantage in USC's hands at 19-15. Arizona mounted a small comeback, but Bricio earned a back-row kill off a broken play to stop the bleeding and give the Trojans a 23-20 lead. Fuller went up on the right side and earned the final kill of the set to seal a 25-20 USC win.
While it appeared the Trojans had run away with the fourth set, things were far from over as the Wildcats battled their way back to tie the score at 22-all; the first tie since the two teams were locked at four-all. USC led by as many as seven points at 15-8 and held a six-point advantage at 20-14, but the Cats continued to fight and got three kills from Torres in the span of four rallies to get Arizona within three points at 21-18. Olgard knocked down a kill off a quick set to give USC some breathing room at 22-19 but two Wildcat kills and a block tied the set at 22. The Trojans had more in the tank and took the final lead of the set when Bricio got her pass back from Crone to tool the Arizona block for a 23-22 USC lead. Ogoms rose up for a solo block to set the Trojans up with match point at 24-22 before a pair of untimely errors closed out the match with a 25-23 win for USC in the fourth set.
The Trojans will have two more matches on the road, next weekend, as they head to the mountain states to face Utah (Nov. 9) and Colorado (Nov. 10). Both matches will start at 7 p.m. MT (6 p.m. PT). Please visit www.USCTrojans.com for more information.

Day 3
Ford driver Jari-Matti Latvala started Sunday's opening stage in Germany with an attempt on the third place of Sebastien Ogier.
The Finn started the test 16.6sec adrift of the Citroen driver, but by the fourth split point hed reduced the gap by 4.4sec. By the end of the stage, however, he had lost all but two-tenths of that advantage.
Latvala said he was had been too cautious near the end and had struggled with low engine revs in hairpins. Ogier was also having problems in hairpins. The Frenchman reported his C4 WRC was stalling in them - as it had on Friday.
Rally leaders Sebastien Loeb and Dani Sordo had trouble-free runs through the stage, setting the second and sixth fastest times respectively. Petter Solberg was the stage winner.
Malcolm Wilson moved ahead of Kimi Raikkonen into sixth place after the Finn missed two junctions in the stage.
Swede P-G Andersson lost the lead of the S-WRC competition after breaking a wheel on a kerb. He dropped three minutes changing the wheel, allowing Patrik Sandell, also in a Skoda Fabia S2000, into first place. Martin Prokop is 3.4sec behind in second.
Monster World Rally Team driver Ken Block retired on the road section from the Service Park to the start of Dhrontal. The American was 10km into the 37km journey when his Fords alternator belt broke.
After bright sunshine on Friday and Saturday, Sunday dawned partly cloudy and rain had fallen on the stages overnight. The roads had dried by the time drivers started SS14, but further showers are possible later today.
Click: wrc.com/News SS15
Rallye Deutschland leader Sebastien Loeb rounded off Sunday morning's first loop of stages in confident form with a fastest time through Moselwein.
The defending world rally champions lead over his Citroen team-mate Dani Sordo stood at exactly 48 seconds as the pair headed back to Trier for a 30 minute service.
With no repeat of the stalling problem that slowed him on SS15, Sebastien Ogier remains third, 1min 22sec behind Sordo but 19sec ahead of Jari-Matti Latvala.
Ford team-leader Mikko Hirvonen dropped more than four minutes on the stage after his Ford Focus RS WRC remained stuck in one gear. The Finn retired on Saturday when the input shaft to his transmission broke. He restarted today as a SuperRally entrant.

Lynden event will honor fiber artist Mary Ann Drake
Wednesday, June 11, 2014 - 11:35am
The Bellingham Herald
I received a call from Bellingham resident George Drake, who wanted me to know about a special (and touching) event honoring his wife, Mary Ann Drake, beginning Thursday, June 12, and running through Saturday, June 14, at the Jansen Art Center in Lynden. Here's some of what he said in an email to me:
After about 40 years of developing her skills as a spinner, weaver, knitter and winner of many awards for her fiber arts at the Northwest Washington Fair and beyond, Mary Ann Drake (the M.A.D. Hatter) is calling it quits.

What Are The Tools To Create Seamless Global Teamwork? [Future Of Work]
PSFK chats with Industrial Color, the creators of LightTable and GLOBALedit, about working seamlessly with digital technology.
As part of our Future of Work Series we have reached out to experts on change currently going on in the workplace. We recently caught up with Albert Song and Matt Glueckert of Industrial Color. They are the creators of LightTable, which we recently featured, and GLOBALedit, which helps global creative teams manage their media and workflow. We asked them about how technology is changing how we can work seamlessly with global teams.
Where do you see the future of work headed?
Matt Glueckert: We see a lot of changes happening right now. The change of structure of the workday, the way that people are bringing tools, all different types of tools, together and the pace of this evolution. Then the real big challenge is how do you make those things work together. It's just this huge convergence right now of old and new, of analog and digital. For us, it's particularly exciting because not only do we do that on so many different levels here, internally, but also the people that we work with.
What problem are you trying to solve?
Albert Song: It's interesting, because the vocabulary for how people have been working has been built up in the past couple of years through the iPad. People are already familiar with the gestures. When people jump to something like the light table, they are not confused by how it is supposed to work. The vocabulary and the way of working has already been engrained in them. It has become so ubiquitous.
The LightTable really evolved out of the questions, "What if we can do this? What if we can work in this way, especially in a creative atmosphere?" Working in front of a workstation and a big screen, it's one way of working. But it doesn't really lend itself to the way that Creatives have liked to work."
If you've ever seen a traditional light table. That's what people are used to. They want a stack of images. They want a stack of slides and transparencies. They want to work with them in a really physical way. That's extremely efficient in its own right.
We gained some efficiencies with all the data. Individuals can process a lot more data. We lost that physical aspect to it, that communication and collaboration was lacking, but this is really cool because it's bringing that back. When people come to it, it's very natural. It's intuitive. People just get it.
How is the cloud changing workplace technology?
Albert: There's so many cloud‑based solutions, so many SAAS systems that you don't have to be an IT administrator. Someone else is taking care of it for you, you can just focus on work that you need to do and that's something that we've been able to excel at, really understanding the mindset of creating production. Because we live and breathe it all the time.
So creating a product that really suits their needs, does all the project management work. It's fast. It's simple. People can just get work done, that's the beauty of it.
Matt: Creatives tend to be very tactile learners, people who like to be hands on. I know, for me, that's how I've been since I was young. I just needed to have my hands on my camera or to touch things.
For us, for a LightTable, for our products we built our cloud before it was a cloud. We located it in this space, in this building, because of the connectivity. We hired very intelligent people to build incredible architecture so that people can access their data, put it out from the beach in Barbados and somebody back in Columbus, Ohio can access that at the same time and they can do it at high speed.
I think, for us, it's as much about making tools that are intuitive as it is about making them powerful and efficient. The nature of our business is that Creatives can have a different tolerance level and range of tools.
But they also have an expectation that things be fast and efficient. Those are really two very difficult things to put together. But that has helped us shape the business.
How is technology changing the way people work?
Albert: One trend that I have been hearing in a lot of conversations with clients is that, in some of our client's workspaces they are used to a very analog, physical way of working. They will actually print out contact sheets and they'll have the china marker. They'll start circling their selects. It's old school. They actually want to skip over working on a laptop and go straight to their iPad. They're going from this very old, traditional way of working to, "Give me an iPad app." That's just the trend that we are seeing all over the place.
People are working so much more in a distributed, on the go sort of way. It's not that you go into the office and you do your work and you leave, but you want to be able to access your data and do your work from anywhere you want. They want to work in these very mobile ways, with lots of different tools, we're seeing this even in the larger companies that we work with. How do people want to work? They want to work in a certain way and we have to be able to be accommodating to those ways.
I think the thing that is truly disruptive is when we make products that just make sense to people, that don't cause the headaches and the frustrations, and they're easy to use. When the iPhone came out, that blew everything out of the water. You can't make a phone that isn't iPhone‑like anymore. It just looks like you're going backwards.
There are so many startups right now creating all these web systems that are really easy to use. They're nice to look at. They're fun to use. I think there's going to be more and more of a clash, especially in businesses and enterprise software where these clunky, really hard to use systems, people are going to get fed up with even more and more.
That's just not how people want to work. That's not how people want to interact with the systems. It should be seamless as much as possible.
When you start to bring in this consumer way of thinking about product development, where it has to be easy; otherwise, it's going to be rejected immediately. It has to be functional right off the bat. Bringing that into the enterprise, that's where we're going with things.
It's been a successful way of working for us, where once you hop on our system it's like, "Oh, I get this. I'm used to working with tools like this. It makes sense." In order for businesses to survive, you just have to make tools that make sense to the average person.
Thanks Albert & Matt!

I find that some of the most entertaining and enlightening conversations I have with other marketers is stories with how their clients act, how to deal with problem clients, their fun stories, worst stories, Google problems, and so forth.
Its amazing what you can learn from just hearing how others have dealt with both good and bad issues that have arisen over the years.
I thought this would be a great topic to cover on Marketing Nirvana: Educational, yet Entertaining, marketing stories. So, I invited Matt Van Wagner to join me for a show, and he graciously accepted.
If you are unfamiliar with Matt, he's the president of Find Me Faster, a regular conference speaker, a humanitarian, and the technical editor for the 2nd & 3rd editions of Advanced Google AdWords.
We started talking about:
- Cause marketing
- How to make a profit and yet still do good for the world
- Our best clients
- What makes a great client
- Dealing with feature creep & scope issues
- How to fire a client and still end up on good terms
- What happens when Google changes something and you get blamed
- and lots of entertaining tidbits in-between
The show was going so well, we decided to record a double episode. In the second episode we cover being the middle person between clients and the search engines and how to be a good agent and middle man when there are three parties involved.
The first show will air on April 7 at 9am PST / Noon EST at Webmaster Radio. Shortly after the show airs, you can download it from iTunes, download the WebmasterRadio.fm Google Play App and listen on your Android phone. You can also check your favorite music player to see if we're streaming there yet. We are currently on many stations, such as TuneIn, and iHeartRadio.

We describe a method to calibrate the spring constants of cantilevers for atomic force microscopy (AFM). The method makes use of a piezosensor comprised of a piezoresistive cantilever and accompanying electronics. The piezosensor was calibrated before use with an absolute force standard, the NIS Telectrostatic force balance (EFB). In this way, the piezosensor acts as a force transfer standard traceable to the International System of Units (SI). Seven single-crystal silicon cantilevers with rectangular geometries and nominal spring constants from 0.2N/m to 40N/m were measured with the piezosensor method. The values obtained for the spring constant were compared to measurements by four other techniques: the thermal noise method, the Sader method, force loading by a calibrated nanoindentation load cell, and direct calibration by force loading with the EFB. Results from different methods for the same cantilever were generally in agreement, but differed by up to 300% from nominal values. When used properly, the piezosensor approach provides spring-constant values that are accurate to ±5%. Methods such as this will improve the ability to extract quantitative information from AFM methods.

Lamb and Cheese Stuffed Sandwiches
Recipe by Sharon123
Oh, I think you're gonna like this one! You can double or triple this recipe easily, so it's great for a Super Bowl party or a picnic, or any casual get-together! In Greek this is called Arni Kai Myzithra Skopelos. Adapted from Cat Cora's Kitchen cookbook. Yum!
Top Review by llangrove
Delicious! ! ! We really don't like left-over lamb! I've searched for quite a while for a way to use it, to our liking. This recipe is it! I followed the cooking instructions, except I used thinly sliced COOKED meat from a leg of lamb. I also used Italian seasonings instead of the parsley. Instead of crusty bread, I spooned the meat mixture into whole wheat pita pockets. Absolutely delicious! I will make again! Thanks for sharing, Sharon
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 loaf crusty rustic bread (2 lb. loaf)
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 cups yellow onions, minced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 4 roma tomatoes, chopped (plum tomatoes)
- 1 1⁄2 lbs raw lamb sirloin, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1⁄2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 3 teaspoons fresh oregano, finely chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese (or Romano pecorino, or Myzithra cheese)
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat oven to 375*F.
- Cut the loaf of bread in half lengthwise and scoop out the soft inner portion of each half, leaving at least 3/4" of crust all the way around. Do not leave the crust too thin or it will tear.
- In a large saute pan, heat 2 tbls. of the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onions and saute until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the garlic and tomatoes and cook for about 3-4 more minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
- In a large bowl, toss the diced lamb, red pepper flakes, oregano, parsley, salt and pepper. Add the tomato mixture and continue tossing until blended.
- Brush the inside of the hollowed out bread loaf with the remaining 4 tbls. olive oil and sprinkle in the grated cheese. Fill the bottom half of the bread cavity with the meat mixture and carefully place the top half over it, securing it tightly. Wrap tightly with heavy duty aluminum foil(or double wrap with regualr foil), leaving one seam along the top so you can check to see when the meat is cooked. Place the foil wrapped loaf on a baking sheet and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Unwrap the foil at the top seam and check to see if the meat is done. (Till just slightly pink, or cook till it's done the way you like it). If the filling isn't piping hot all the way through, rewrap the sandwich in foil and bake for another 20-30 minutes.
- When done, let the sandwich cool slightly before cutting. Slice and serve warm, or wrap in another layer of foil and pack the sandwich in a picnic basket. Enjoy!

/// Networks Hope to Find a Following
If you work for a broadcast television network and your letterhead doesn't feature a multicolored peacock logo, it's probably safe to say that the 2012-13 season has failed to live up to even your most modest expectations. As of Nov. 19, five new series have been canceled, a roster that includes the ABC dramas Last Resort and 666 Park Avenue and CBS' Partners . Also on the Do Not Resuscitate list is Fox's medical/murder mash-up, The Mob Doctor . And while the perennial ratings champ is getting the worst of it this fall, plummeting 29 percent in the demo with a 2.5 rating among adults 18-49, buyers say Fox is likely to rebound sharply in the first quarter, thanks in part to what many are calling the most compelling midseason offering in recent memory. Starring Kevin Bacon as a booze hound former FBI agent on the trail of an escaped serial killer/cult leader, The Following is a taut psychological thriller studded through with gory Grand Guignol excess. Relentlessly paced and bloody to the extreme, T he Following wouldn't feel out of place if it aired on Fox's gritty cable sibling, FX. " The Following is the best broadcast pilot we've seen in forever," said one national TV buyer, who added that the sanguinary exorbitance hasn't deterred many clients. "You look at the numbers The Walking Dead does week after week, and there's clearly an audience that's hungry for this kind of entertainment. " In fact, the marketplace is so confident about The Following that during the spring upfront period, buyers estimated that the show commanded the highest unit cost of any new series, as Fox was able to fetch approximately $195,000 for each 30-second ad that will run in the show. By comparison, early investors in the top-rated new NBC drama Revolution ponied up a mere $90,000 per spot, according to SQAD NetCosts data. Fox also should get a lift from its American Idol franchise, and while the show has seen better days—the going rate for Idol inventory has plummeted by as much as $150,000 year over year—it remains the second highest-rated show on the tube behind NBC's Sunday Night Football . And even if a Nicki Minaj-Mariah Carey reboot isn't enough to return Idol to its glory days, buyers are confident that the show should help Fox turn things around in Q1. Meanwhile, NBC faces a sudden change in atmospheric pressure as the NFL season winds down and The Voice heads toward a three-month hiatus (Dec. 17-March 25). And while it boasts the deepest midseason bench, NBC could easily lose its momentum if the quality of the replacement programming flags. "Last year the broadcast nets had a very good creative season.

WASHINGTON – Support for the death penalty is at a four-decade low in the United States, though most Americans — 3 in 5 — still favor it, a new Gallup poll out Tuesday found.
Sixty percent of Americans say they back capital punishment for convicted killers; that is the lowest figure since November 1972, when the death penalty had 57% of Americans' support, the survey found. By 1994, 8 in 10 Americans supported execution, a high from which it since has edged lower.

I blew my dad.
Posted Jun 6, 2013 by anonymous | 2880 views | 5 comments
It was when I was 15. My dad had passed out drunk and I went over and pulled his dick out and sucked him until he came in my mouth. He's never mentioned it, and for good reason; he was passed out. I wonder what he would have said if he knew his only son swallowed his fathers load that night.
Don't regret it at all.

You can fuck passed out slut but rarely you can get a passed out dude to cum.

After spending millions of pounds bringing in the likes of Samuel Eto'o, Willian and Christopher Samba, Anzhi's billionaire owner Suleyman Kerimov suddenly and significantly withdrew his backing less than two months ago.
It saw Anzhi's £116million budget reduced to as low as a reported £32million, leading to the sale of their star players and the sacking of coach Rene Meulensteen after only 16 days at the helm.
It means just months after aiming for domestic and continental success, they head into the clash with Spurs bottom of the Russian Premier League and without a win this season.
"They are radically different from what Anzhi built in these past years," Villas-Boas said.
"The changes are so radical and dramatic that you find it hard to recognise the team and the project they set out to do in the beginning.
"It looks apparent that staying in the league has become their priority.
"They've got one point out of the game against Sheriff so it's going to be a difficult game with difficult conditions.
"We don't want to come here and play with the competition - we want to be serious about the project in that way."
The Group K tie comes on the back of a controversial 1-1 draw with Chelsea on Saturday.
Jose Mourinho's side ended the match on the top but down to 10 men after Fernando Torres was sent off for two bookable offences.
However, the Spaniard should have seen a straight red card earlier in the match for scratching the face of Jan Vertonghen.
It left visible marks on the Spurs defender, who, along with Paulinho, has been rested for trip to Anzhi, and led to the FA reviewing the incident.
However, as one of the match officials saw the incident, no action could be taken under FA rules against Torres, infuriating Villas-Boas.
"It's extremely difficult to know where to start," the former Chelsea boss said in the pre-match press conference in Ramenskoye, a town on the outskirts of Moscow.
"Obviously, it is almost a farcical decision. It doesn't matter to me which player or club is involved.
"Neither do I want to, with my words, put into question Fernando's integrity; neither their manager's, in trying to defend what is our position.
"I think the FA has made a decision almost a joke. It looks incredible.
"How can you see the images, pretty clear, and come out without punishment, on something (which) overtakes all professional behaviour?
"I think the decision is a disgrace. If the committee can't solve such clear images I don't think it sets out a good first example and we're not asking nobody to retract themselves; the player to retract themselves. That would not be fair.
"This is a competition and in the end they came up with what they thought was fair for that.
"We don't want Fernando suspended because it can make them weaker, because their bench is so strong, but I think the FA has lost all opportunity to put some sense into the images everybody saw.
"I'm extremely grateful for ex-refs to be able to enlighten people a little bit more, though I think most of you guys saw the incident as something that is not tolerable in football."

Vader is crazy ! :)
5 Attachment(s)
Hello everyone!
I have had this guy since he was 8 weeks old. I have been using this forum since I got him and just now decided to make an account.
He is definitely a handful! I am trying to figure out how to get him to calm down when he gets around guests or friends. He goes crazy for about 5 minutes around guests.. but those 5 minutes are nerve wracking. :eek:
He is my best buddy though. We start obedience training in two weeks and I cant wait for that.
He is 8 months old as of yesterday. 26 inches at the shoulder and 92 lbs.
I was having a hard time with his " bigger " ear staying up so I have them both glued together with tear mender right now and hoping it stays after!
Welcome to the board.
Here is a good post on the subject IMHO.
A similar technique is referred to around here as Sitting on the Dog.
May the Force be with you,
I have already begun looking over both of those threads and there is a lot of useful information in there.
Thanks Mister C!
LOVE THE NAME!! Adorable pup!
He's a handsome boy! Good luck with your training - I'm sure he'll get there.
I had a black shepherd named Vader when I was growing up. Your post made me nostalgic! I miss that guy. :)
Vader is an awesome name for a black GSD! Although most Shepherds I know would probably be more akin to Jar Jar Binks! hahaha :laugh:
Haha, yeah, you're right! I had a cat that was very like C3PO - he was super prissy and everything was always someone else's fault. The cards were stacked against him though - he was a male Siamese named Woman.
I went to pick up a cat a couple of years ago. I was specifically looking for a male; and the owner of the litter thought she had picked a male.
I got home and named it Boba. Short for Boba Fett.
It went into heat 7 months later. :cry:
I also had let my girlfriend move in when Boba was around 4 months old; that cat wanted nothing to do with me after that and only liked the GF.
Boba died by snake bite. I didn't cry. hahah

I have recently installed Mathematica 3.0 on a new Pentium II system
with Windows95. While the performance was surprisingly good compared
to even an Ultra-Sparc system, I was quite disappointed to find that
an identical Pentium II system with Linux or Windows NT4 performed
TWICE as fast.
I am used to the fact that Windows95 is about 20% slower than NT, but a
factor of two is unacceptable. Maybe Win95 is bad, but I assume that
Wolfram research simply didn't care to make their product run properly
under Windows95.....??
Question: Is there any way to speed up MATHEMATICA 3.0 under Win95??
(I know there was a similar problem with Mathematica 2.2, which ran a
lot faster under Win 3.1 than under Windows95)
Best regards, Sebastian

Better late than never Those who appreciate Starwood Hotels and Resorts' almost painfully trendy W Hotels will be pleased to learn that an opening date for the W Guangzhou - the brand's first mainland property - seems close at hand. The hotel was due to open in July last year, but its website now states: "Opening January 31, 2013", and details of its design and facilities have just been issued in a press release that promises "a new style of modern luxury, featuring cutting-edge architectural and interior designs by an eclectic assemblage of international designers". Looking at the list that follows - Rocco Yim, New York's Yabu Pushelberg, Glyph of Toronto, Hong Kong's AFSO, A.N.D. of Tokyo and Kuala Lumpur's designWILKES - it's little wonder that the "highly anticipated" 320-room hotel is still waiting to open: they probably can't agree on anything. Keep an eye on the hotel's website at www.whotels.com/guangzhou [1].
Frozen birds Angry Birds addicts of all ages can engage in a life-size version of the game at the Harbin Ice Festival, which officially gets going early next month. Parent company Rovio isn't giving much away about what the Angry Birds Experience will offer, other than that it will cover 10,000 square metres and feature huge ice buildings, an ice maze and ice sculptures of the characters. Although the official start date for the festival, which has been going since the mid-1960s (with a break for the Cultural Revolution), is January 5, many of the massive sculptures are already in place at the festival's three key sites. The city's streets (top) are filled with illuminated sculptures created from massive chunks of the frozen Songhua River, which have been carted inland and carved with chainsaws and other tools by local craftsmen. Westminster Travel is selling a Harbin package with flights on Hong Kong Express Airways and two nights' accommodation from HK$2,280. For details, visit www. [2]westminstertravel.com [3] or call 2313 9800.
Dizzy heights Alfred Hitchcock's 1958 film Vertigo has been enjoying renewed interest since it topped the Sight & Sound once-in-a-decade critics' poll of the greatest film of all time (unseating Orson Welles' Citizen Kane, which had held the top spot since 1962) in that magazine's September issue. The restored film has just been released in a boxed set of 15 Hitchcock films on Blu-ray, showing off Hitchcock's San Francisco locations in all their high-definition glory. Much of what appears on screen has survived, and Vertigo tours of the city remain popular. One of the film's locations, the Empire Hotel on Nob Hill, is now the Hotel Vertigo, which is an accommodation option with the San Francisco package for sale at TLX Travel. Priced from HK$5,899 for three nights at the hotel and non-stop round-trip flights to San Francisco with Singapore Airlines, the package will be available from January 10 until the end of March. For reservations and details, go to www.tlxtravel.com [4].
Ticket to ride Travellers will soon, for the first time ever, be able to take a cross-border public bus from Bangkok to either Siem Reap - home to Angkor Wat (above) - or Phnom Penh, Cambodia. The two services, which are due to begin on Saturday, are operated by The Transport Company, which began running buses from Bangkok to Pakse and Vientiane in Laos a couple of months ago. Buses will leave Bangkok's Northern Bus Terminal (Mo Chit) twice a day for the seven-hour drive to Siem Reap, and every morning for the 11-hour trip to Phnom Penh. Fares will be cheap at 750 baht (HK$190) and 900 baht, respectively, each way. Tickets will be available at the station, but as the routes will be popular, it would be best to buy them in advance from a travel agent in town.
Deal of the week A two-night stay in Beijing with round-trip, business-class flights and a choice of good hotels is now on offer at Tiglion Travel, from HK$6,790. Your hotel at this price will be the Hotel G Beijing (right), which scores highly on TripAdvisor, but you might prefer the more traditional hospitality to be found at places such as the Park Hyatt (HK$7,990), The Peninsula (HK$7,690), the Grand Hyatt (HK$7,590) or The Ritz-Carlton (HK$8,290). These package prices, which include daily breakfast but no airport transfers, are valid for travel from Thursday until February 23, but there are flight surcharges of HK$2,140 for February 8 to 14 inclusive. A full list of hotels available and a list of optional day trips to places such as the Great Wall (below), the Summer Palace and the Forbidden City can be found at www.tiglion.com [5]. Or call 2511 7189 for reservations.

Girl Scouts start campaign to save Antrim camp
By MEGHAN PIERCE
Union Leader Correspondent | March 30. 2014 8:06PM
"We need people that will actively help in the fight to save Chenoa," page founder Katharine Sprague of Dover posted, adding that it is not too late to save the camp, their "home."
Since she started the page it has gained more than 50 members and nearly 500 likes.
Members are using the page to brainstorm ideas of how to keep the camp open for future Girl Scouts.
Camp Chenoa is the only overnight Girl Scout camp in the state.
Profits from the sale will be invested into properties, including the remaining overnight camp, Camp Farnsworth, in Thetford, Vt..Carrie Green, Council director of girl leadership experience, said Thursday the decision to close Chenoa was a difficult decision, but one that enables the Council to invest in its other properties and to provide programming and improved accommodations to future Girl Scouts.

The Lingering Cloud Over H&R Block
By Pallavi Gogoi
There's nothing certain in life, the saying goes, except death and taxes. For H&R Block (HRB ), the nation's largest tax-preparer, that old saw has always been a steady moneymaker. But lately, Wall Street has been focused more on the burial aspect of that wisdom.
Witness all the dirt Wall Street recently threw on H&R Block, driving the share price down 34% in two weeks, to a low of $29 on Nov. 12. Investors were reacting to published reports that pending Texas-based class-action lawsuits could result in damages of as much as $2 billion. It turns out that estimate was way overblown: Block tentatively settled the Texas suits for up to $262 million on Nov. 19, and plans to take a $42 million pretax charge related to the settlement when it announces its fiscal second-quarter earnings on Nov. 26.
Still, that's not the end of the challenges facing the Kansas City (Mo.) outfit and Mark Ernst, 44, who took over as CEO in January, 2001. H&R Block's share price has rebounded crisply since the nosedive, closing at $38.40 on Nov. 25. But given that shares were trading at around $50 as late as September, investors still seem jittery.
The starkest difficulty confronting Block remains litigation. It still faces class-action lawsuits that are pending in Alabama, Pennsylvania, New York, and other states, stemming from the company's controversial practice of making high-interest loans to customers that are secured by expected tax refunds. The loans, known as "rapid refunds" and offered by Block through banks, involve interest rates of more than 100% if calculated on an annualized basis.
About 30% of H&R Block's U.S. tax customers take the company up on its offer every year. And the loans are a source of fat profits. In its fiscal year ended April, 2001, Block earned $68 million in operating profits on loan revenues of $134 million, about 18% of its total black ink. Its profits from loans were not reported in 2002, but they must have been considerable, because loan revenues were up 20% from 2001, to $160 million. And Block earned a hefty $434 million on revenues of $3.3 billion in fiscal 2002.
Some aggrieved customers have sued, claiming Block was bound by law to tell them that the company was being paid finder's fees by the banks that administered the loan program. The company says it broke no laws in accepting the fees, but has since changed its policy to disclose them. And Block adds that it has not lost a single legal case over the issue in 12 years. Most of the suits were filed before 1996, when Block placed a clause in its loan contracts requiring customers to go to arbitration, rather than sue, in the event of a dispute.
Block is trying hard to put such legal complaints behind it. In Illinois, it has entered into a $25 million settlement agreement with plaintiff lawyers that it would like to use as a national settlement model. A ruling on the settlement is expected in December from the U.S. District Court in Chicago. Despite all the litigation, however, Ernst says he's unwilling to give up the loans for fear his competitors will nab a significant number of his clients, 25% of whom say they come to Block because they are attracted by the "rapid cash" offer. However, he's willing to be more flexible on the pricing. "We will likely have lower prices on these products and give up some profitability," he says.
Ernst is also tackling another source of investor concern: Block's mortgage business, which expanded by 76% in 2002, bringing in revenues of $734 million and pretax income of $339 million, vs. $533 million from U.S. tax operations. Some critics maintain that Block is expanding into risky subprime lending -- which has proved an albatross for competitors such as Household International (HI ).
Block contends its screening process is stringent -- borrowers have an average annual income of $63,000 and may have a less than perfect credit record only if there is a "life event," such as a divorce or illness, in their backgrounds. Ernst acknowledges that the business' growth likely will slow if interest rates go back up, but doubts that will happen any time soon. "Besides," he adds, "we are not as susceptible, because the more volatile refinancing business makes up only 10% of our loans."
Some analysts question whether Block can meet its ambitious growth goals without diversification into other services. "Tax-preparation grows annually at a rate of 2% to 3%, and that can't drive earnings 15%," says Alexander Paris Jr. of Chicago's Barrington Research. That's why Block started offering IRAs to taxpayers in the 2002 tax season -- and signed up 135,000 tax customers for the service, Ernest says. He hopes to sell at least 500,000 IRAs next year.
Block has also applied for a federal charter to start a bank to offer savings products to customers. However, Block has yet to demonstrate it can make money in its brokerage-services division, which posted a punishing $55 million loss in 2002 on revenues of $250 million. The upshot? Ernst has to tread carefully. And a lot will depend on next month's court ruling on the settlement. If favorable, it would allow Block to put many of its legal woes behind it. But with a little luck and the right timing, Block could emerge in good health after a very taxing year.

I bought a spittoon at a yard sale in Haiwassee Ga.
a year ago that has a name plate on it.I had it in a back bedroom for months,we thought we heard voices sometimes, but my wife seen a man in the hall looking into the room, he started talking and walked in the room. We went in to the room and no one was there. The spittoon is now in my garage. [email protected]
#11 May 27, 2010
The spittoon was from the Goldfield Hotel.
#12 Dec 6, 2011
In regards to your blog and Goldfield Hotel artifacts. The original spitoons in the hotel were not marked. The fantasy pieces you are referring to are just that fantasy. In the late 70's and 80's items with this brass tag were made possibly by this Gary Wakefield. Bed warmers, Spitoons or more likely its a cuspidoor. Brass and copper.Also kerosine lamps and some other items had the tag on it. In a 1984 article in the Death Valley Gazette. by Slim Sirnes "Goldfield's fame is also being spread around the country by a big importing house whose catalog lists beautiful spitoon,complete with with an engraved plaque saying Goldfield Hotel on its side. While I am sure the owners of the hotel appreciate this plug,it should be known that the Hotel was, indeed, equipped with this type of spitoon and never embossed with the hotel name".
Doubtful Bed warmers were ever used because of the fire hazard. The hotel boasted modern ammenities and was equipped with steam heat, electriciy and even in 1909 phones in the rooms.
Fact is there are still a few people who live in Goldfield who still remember when they first came out evidently 100's were made. They are not antiques yet but if you hang on to them long enough they will be! People like them as souvenir which is what they were originally made for. Hope this answers your questions.
#13 Aug 13, 2012
I just purchased a Goldfield Hotel spitoon from a yardsale and it is in ruff shape. It needs to be cleaned and polished. Do anyone have any suggustions on how to clean it or where I might can take it to get cleaned? It also has a dent in it that I dont know how to fix.

text: Posted May 31, 2014 This is a first time ever 2 soccer giants will come to Charlotte. The attendance will give prospective on many things. Can Charlotte host future international and world cup games? Does Charlotte have enough fans for MLS expansion team? Many fans will visit Charlotte from European countries. This might be the most intentionally diverse Charlotte will ever get. We have quiet few Liverpool fans on this board and they are throwing a tailgate party on August 2nd! Tickets are still available for the game but seats are limited. I bough my tickets 3 months ago for $100 a ticket and now my seats cost $300-$400 a ticket. Upper section still available for $50 a ticket. This will be the first game after stadium upgrades are completed. 2 people like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With October being breast cancer awareness month and it being almost over, I thought it would be interesting to see some stats on breasts…hey, why not?!
ONE: You may think that men are just being "men", but studies out of the University of Nebraska actually show that men's AND women's eye naturally gravitate tow a women's chest. Yes this means that women are looking at other women's chests! It isn't just a male thing afterall. USA Today also found that when focusing a camera, it is better to focus on the mid sections which in coincidentally happen to be a women's chest area. So if a women is in the shot, it gives the cameraman full permission!
TWO: Unhappy with your breast size, ladies? Don't worry…ALL breast fluctuate in size month to month and have even been noted to change size minute to minute! Yes, seriously! Many women experience breast size change during the PMS month where they can grow as much to a full cup size! And the left breast tends to be larger.
THREE: In other boob news, nipples actually vary in types! There are 4 types of areolas which are as follows: "Normal", where the nipples stick out a few millimeters from the areola, and then even further when they're aroused or cold; "flat" in which the nipples only protrude when they're stimulated or when temperatures change. Some are "puffy" nipples and have a raised areola and "inverted" nipples are self explanatory as turned inward.
So now that we have discussed breasts and all their gloriousness, know YOUR boobs and get the proper exams to keep them healthy! What exactly is a Mammogram? Maybe you can't afford a mammogram? You could possible qualify for a FREE one…READ HERE
Keep up the boob health all year long and not just the month of October. Early detection is the best prevention! Hey! Check out these guys raising money for boobs in a very interesting way!

Thanks everyone. I can't quite figure out why some states and or counties can do this in 2 to 3 or 4 weeks and some places take upwards of 8 or 9 months. It is a shame how some of these government programs are run. I am fortunate to be near a group of government officials that don't take their jobs for granted. Thanks go out them for being timely. I am also glad the the same group that is running the Cash for Clunkers program, that can't seem to pay the money that is owed to the Auto Dealers in a timely manner isn't running the CCW License program...

Newcastle 0-0 Metalist Kharkiv
- From the section Football
Newcastle were held to a goalless draw by Metalist Kharkiv in the last 32 of the Europa League but will rue several chances and two disallowed goals.
Papiss Cisse twice had the ball in the net, only to be denied by the assistant's flag with each decision looking close.
Cisse could not finish when he was one-on-one with the Metalist keeper or tuck in Davide Santon's cross.
Cleiton Xavier had a header saved and shot wide for the Ukrainian side.
On another night, Cisse could have had a hat-trick, and even in stoppage time he had a back-post header saved by the impressive Olexandr Goryainov.
Although Newcastle will travel to Ukraine for the second leg next Thursday having drawn a blank, this performance will give them hope they can score an away goal.
Having rediscovered their bounce since the January transfer window when boss Alan Pardew signed a raft of French players, this was another display in which Moussa Sissoko shone.
On his European debut for Newcastle, he provided much of his side's thrust with Yohan Cabaye orchestrating from a deep-lying midfield position.
But the duo were perhaps let down by Cisse's finishing touch as the hosts finished strongly against a tiring Metalist team, who were competing in their first game since the start of December because of their winter break.
Sissoko was the more advanced of the French duo and set up Gabriel Obertan, who dragged his shot wide, before the game's first big talking point.
Cisse had the ball in the net after Sissoko squared to him, but Newcastle's new star was incorrectly ruled offside after bursting through the Metalist defence.
In a lively opening, both teams were willing to attack, subsequently leaving gaps in midfield. Xavier went close on three occasions with right-winger Marlos often dangerous as he bore down on Newcastle left-back Santon.
The visitors qualified top of their group in the previous round and, with a vast array of south American talent on show, there was plenty of invention.
Newcastle continued to find space, though. Cisse should have scored when put clean through by Cabaye, but could not beat Goryainov, the only Ukrainian-born player in the Metalist starting line-up.
Cisse, who has scored seven goals this season, was off-target from another Cabaye pass after the break, and soon after Cristaldo shot wide with only Tim Krul in the home goal to beat.
The game became more scrappy at the start of the second period, but around the hour mark Pardew's men began to gather momentum with Cisse denied by Goryainov, and then the assistant's flag when he met Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa's cross to score.
Like Sissoko he was adjudged to be offside, but replays showed the decision was marginal as he converted via the post.
Cisse could not score from several more chances, but on this display Newcastle will travel to eastern Europe with some encouragement.
Newcastle boss Alan Pardew: "Both goals are onside and fundamentally the officials got them wrong. It was a great game, they are good side and we played a great game tonight, we were physical and technical enough and in these games those are the margins.
"I can accept one but twice is tough to take. The law says it should favour the striker and both those decisions were level."

Hope you can make it!
Brrr! It is COLD out there! My mum took me out to romp in the snow, but I was so cold, I shivered. She brought me back inside right away and hugged me until I warmed up. Good thing I have a warm coat! AND, I got two new sweaters for Christmas. I can't say that it's fun getting it on and off, but it sure does keep me warm and cozy! Mum tells me there's only a few more weeks until Spring Training baseball starts. And that means that soon I get to watch the Blue Jays on tv! Yay! I love watching baseball...I get my tummy rubbed! Keep warm puppy friends!

Happy New Year!

It's not always easy to know what to buy for elderly friends, relatives, and neighbors. Seniors usually have a house full of trinkets, treasures, and gifts accumulated from many holidays and special occasions. Many senior citizens have all they want, and what they don't already have, they really never wanted in the first place. This can make it especially confusing and extremely difficult to know what to buy when their birthday or Christmas rolls around.
Don't overlook the elderly people on your list on Christmas because you're not sure what they want. It's always important to remember the elderly, especially during the holidays. Give elderly relatives, friends, and neighbors a gift from the heart each holiday season. There are many great Christmas gift ideas beyond the usual knickknacks and holiday gadgets, especially for the elderly.
Gifts of Assistance
The elderly can't always perform necessary tasks around the home, and what better gift than a gift of assistance? If an elderly friend, neighbor, or relative has limited mobility, or if you have a talent to share, offer your services as a wonderful gift. Sign a birthday or holiday card, depending on the occasion, and include a handwritten coupon that contains details of the gift. Presents such as these have significant value to elderly people who are incapable of tending to certain tasks, in and around the home.
Practical and Appreciated
After years of receiving holiday and birthday presents, many elderly people don't want or need additional trinkets and knickknacks. Items such as these make nice gifts, but not to those with limited mobility who must clean and dust them. Forego giving items that will simply sit around collecting dust. Give elderly friends, neighbors, and relatives practical gifts that are usable and will definitely be appreciated.
Compile a collection of practical gifts such as postage stamps, decorative notebook paper, writing instruments, and other useful items. Place the items in a plastic storage container with a snap-on lid, and wrap the container as you would any other present. The contents will certainly be appreciated, and the reusable box will come in handy for storage.
A Day Away
One of the most valuable gifts you can offer the elderly is an excursion away from home, especially if they no longer drive or are lacking companionship. Take an elderly friend, relative, or neighbor on a shopping trip and to a favorite local restaurant, or take them to see a movie or a live holiday production. A present of this type is priceless to those who are lonely. Elderly people on your gift list will almost certainly appreciate a day away from home more than any other present they'll receive.
Homemade Goodies
For a variety of reasons, many elderly people no longer bake homemade holiday goodies. Although some don't bake holiday goodies, unless they're on a restricted diet, they would probably love to receive home baked gifts.
When baking cookies and making candy or other goodies during the holiday season, don't forget the elderly. Buy reusable containers, fill them with homemade goodies of your choice, and give them to elderly friends, relatives, and neighbors. The amount of joy you'll provide is immeasurable. A birthday or Christmas gift from your kitchen is a gift from your heart, and it will be appreciated more than you'll ever know.

While Episode 7 got a tentative release window, Disney expressed plans for three more films in the franchise, and I highly doubt Disney will stop there. There have been numerous complaints about the further milking of the franchise, but I remain optimistic. For most Star Wars fans, the series has nowhere to go but up, and the recent Avengers film is proof that Disney can do right with its acquired properties.
Some details came through in the ensuing conference call. Someone asked if there was a similar deal in place that Disney has with Marvel in regards to exploiting their characters. There is such a deal, but less restrictions than they have with Marvel. There are some restrictions on what they can do with Indiana Jones and the Star Wars films made with Fox. They also mentioned a focus on 3D, interest in television, and a willingness to license the property out for video games.
Time will tell what comes of this development.

2001 e46 325 Ci DICE Silverline Message - NO CORE DE
Just installed my silverline into a 2001 e46 325 CiC
Right after I installed the Dice, my iPad worked perfectly fine with the radio and the wheel controls. After I hooked up the aux cable and set that up, when I went back to my iPad it no longer worked. I have also tried my Nano 2G and iPhone 1G and neither work.
I get the following message: "CORE NOT DE" followed by "DETACHED"
When I plug in either the iPad or the iPods it shows that they are "ATTACHED" but there is no control or audio.
When I hit CD5 and switch to AUX, I can use the aux cable fine, but under iPod mode - nothing.
I went through the steps recommended in the previous thread, both disconnected the fuses, and unplugged my battery. But each time I do it, I get the same message "CORE NOT DE"
What should I do?
Thanks in advance.

I know it can't go through to our bay, but it must lead up to the everglade country where the mangroves won't be so bad.
The very best that could be obtained for miles about everglade.
Oh, maybe it's the one who escaped from the everglade swamp.
It was rather a restless night in Orangeade, and all were astir early, for they wanted to be at the everglade camp by daylight.
It is in this watery prairie and everglade region that we find the immediate environment of most of the Seminole Indians.
Tom was taken to the everglade camp, which explains why the calls of the girls did not reach him.
"I fancy we are on the north-western edge of the great everglade swamp," Charley replied.
Then she was not altogether insane, for there were many campers at everglade.

Beaumont/Port Arthur
Visual artist Teresa Baker will host a soft opening/fundraiser for her new downtown Beaumont project space, 215 Orleans, on Thursday, Dec. 15, from 7-10 p.m.
The opening will feature works on paper donated by more than 35 national and local artists, all priced at $50 each. Half of each sale will go to the contributing artist.
Ten Del Papa Distributing Company employees and their families volunteered with Habitat for Humanity of Jefferson County in Beaumont on Saturday, Dec. 15. Afterward, the Gulf Coast beer distributor, which also recently partnered with Habitat for Humanity on projects near the company's Texas City and Victoria locations, presented the organization with a $1,500 donation.
While we harbor no disrespect for the Wall Street Journal who called us "that scrappy little paper from Southeast Texas," we prefer to think of ourselves as simple seekers of the truth. We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

Cliftonville 4 Glentoran 1
Cliftonville roared past Glentoran to restore their six-point lead at the top of the Danske Bank Premiership with an epic display on live TV.
After falling behind when Stephen Carson gave the visitors the lead with just 10 minutes on the clock, the Reds turned things around with a George McMullan double and built on that momentum when first Liam Boyce and then Tomas Cosgrove found the net in a second-half that was virtually one-way traffic. Can anyone stop them now?
It may not have been the prettiest of occasions at times, but the hosts had more than enough about them to claim the victory which gets their title campaign back on track after their New Year's Day defeat to Linfield.
With a quirk of the fixture schedule allowing Cliftonville's title rivals to turn the heat up a little before kick-off, Tommy Breslin's side entered the game amid questions being asked of his players' mental stamina.
The postponement of last month's trip to Donegal Celtic combined with both Linfield and Crusaders having boosted their tallies with three-point returns at the weekend meant the Reds had been forced to sit back and watch their fellow title rivals steal a march over a hectic festive period.
Despite their much documented financial woes, Eddie Patterson's side remain in with a very real shout of European qualification and approached last night's fixture sitting just seven points behind the third-placed Blues — and, like Cliftonville, have an additional game in hand to come next week.
While Linfield's 5-2 victory over Coleraine on Saturday might not, at first glance, have been particularly good news for the Glens, it did did at least keep the Bannsiders behind the Oval outfit in the table — just another interesting aside in the build-up to the Premiership's meanest defence taking on its own most potent attacking threat.
And it was Cliftonville who almost got off to the perfect start when Liam Boyce's low cross found Martin Donnelly, but his shot was blocked by Sean Ward with a section of the home support screaming for a handball offence against the Glentoran skipper.
Ryan Catney was next to try his luck, but it was at the other end where the net first rippled when Andy Waterworth's meandering right-flank run ended with a delivery that fell straight to the feet of Carson and he made no mistake with a confident finish.
Carson almost doubled his side's advantage with a dipping 30th minute strike that whistled against the bar but, in between times, the visitors suffered a double blow when first Calum Birney and then Richard Clarke made injury-enforced exits from proceedings, forcing Patterson to shuffle his pack with the introductions of Stephen McAlorum and John McGuigan.
Cliftonville had huffed and puffed their way through the opening 45 minutes and their best chance of a first-half leveller looked to have come when Boyce's audacious lob almost deceived a backtracking Elliott Morris — that was until McMullan capitalised on Carson's miscued clearance to hook home with his left-foot just before the interval.
The same player struck again soon after the re-start; latching on to a Donnelly free-kick to glance a header past Morris.
From that point on, despite hitting the post through Waterworth, Glentoran rarely looked like claiming anything from the contest and were grateful to a shocking offside decision that saw a Stephen Garrett strike ruled out after some fine build-up play from substitute Diarmuid O'Carroll.
Just five minutes after that, though, the Reds did get the security goal they had been after and it's not one Jay Magee will want to see again.
His underhit backpass and subsequent slip put Boyce in the clear and, after skipping round Morris, he stroked home from an acute angle to take his season's tally to 22.
Cliftonville's final goal of the evening came deep into injury-time from one of the most unlikely sources as young substitute Cosgrove found the net to claim his first ever strike from the club and put the seal on his side extending their lead at the summit to half-a-dozen points — and still with that crucial game in hand against Donegal Celtic to come.
