My husband and I have been talking this over. This being our first I'm "inclined" to believe we may not be taking into account the reality of the situation because EVERYONE says how CRAZY and STRESSFUL life is after the arrival of a new baby. My husband works 35-40 hours 5 days a week and is home between 1-3 most days, so he will be home everyday to help me, plus he is going to take a week off right after the baby is born. my husband is amazingly helpful and kind, he doesn't mind doing the laundry, cooking or dishes, which I'm sure is a huge factor in keeping the sanity. We plan to cloth diaper, but for the first month or two we will use a Diaper Service so we don't have the extra laundry to deal with, we can just leave it out on the front porch and forget about it. I'm going to make a menu for the first 2 weeks, probably month and plan on sticking to mostly soups and vegetarian meals that I can either freeze or put together in under 30 minutes. Neither of us expects the house to stay clean and tidy, laundry to be done or anything like that. No use putting pressure on ourselves when in the long run it really doesn't matter. I feel like I'm missing something though....
What is everyone else doing to prepare for the first few weeks postpartum?
Life CAN be magical.We just have to create it that way.
The first half of February, I am planning on trying to make multiples varieties of casseroles, dish them into separate containers, and fill my freezer, and maybe have a friend of mine store some in her deep freezer.
I'm also planning a baby shower for her, as well, for the last half of February, and need to plan a second baby shower for her family to be coming in for June. I stay busy, that's for sure!
We're trying this month to clean out the 2nd bedroom for Alistair, and DH gets 2 weeks paternity leave (yay for Military benefits!), so cooking, laundry and stuff will have a good share done by DH. He's good about helping me do it weekly anyhow, of which I am very thankful for.
We're probably also going to try to switch to plastic and disposable cups and plates to cut back on the need for washing dishes for the first few weeks, since we're expecting sleepless nights and lots of wanting to be lazy when we're not handling Alistair.

We did ok with our first. We had a few friends and neighbors bring some meals in the first two weeks after she was born, which was wonderful. Our church community will likely do the same this time.
I had frozen some meals before my DD was born, but some of them are still in the freezer, more than 2 years later, because they were just not appetizing. I think I'll try again this time around, but maybe stick to tried-and-true favorites.
Also, I think I'll try to stock up on staples so we can throw some meals together pretty quickly when necessary.
We're also going to move our toddler to a new room so the transition is complete (ha ha!) before baby arrives--this involves cleaning, painting, making curtains, etc.
My DH has 2 weeks of paternity leave, too, but it goes by so quickly--I am grateful, but . . . I wish it were longer.

As a mom of almost 7... I can only suggest to "prepare" to sleep when baby does. And with just one you will be able to do that A LOT at first.
Seriously I don't freeze meals or do anything else like that. I just need my sleep and all is well!
my biggest thought it to make sure that you are keeping as caught up as possible on house stuff so you don't go into labor when there's a bunch of dirty dishes or laundry waiting to get done.
part-time and through infancy. planning a
I am blessed to have a husband who cooks. We figured out early on that it's a lot easier for him to do it, than for me to try to juggle cooking dinner and breastfeeding (since that is ALWAYS the time when that's all they want to do). So, I don't really worry about preparing meals ahead. Since he has been back in school, I've had to pick up the slack more often, but my oldest two are 13 and 11 and capable of doing some easy things when I'm tied up with the younger ones. Hopefully these babies will stay put until 39 weeks, and my husband will be done with two of his classes for the semester, with only two nights that I'll be in charge. My biggest concern is how I'm going to get everyone out the door on time to drop off and pick up kids from school. DH is taking 2 weeks off, and after that, I'm on my own. Yikes!
Mom to eight!! Our twin girls arrived 3-3-2011.
Things can be crazy and stressful, but that depends on many factors and I don't think it has to be crazy exactly.
I think it is really more that it is a time of transition and getting used to all the new things and the new reality of a baby. Breastfeeding is wonderful but also like a full time job at first - I had no idea how much time it would take - but I was able to enjoy that time and relax and not stress about it so now I look back on it as a time of bonding and relaxing (and of ordering food occasionally and not doing much laundry etc.).
I will stock up on some easy to make meals (sphagetti etc.). I made my own yummy and healthy fruit/nut type of mix last time and that was great for snacking. I would wake up at night starving and wanted something to eat and drink while nursing.
Take advantage of offers of help and don't be afraid to give specific jobs to people willing to do them (dishes, laundry, meals). Oh, and like someone already said, nap/sleep whenever you get the chance =)
Now, I just wish I knew what to expect and what to do Postpartum with a child at home already! I guess it is always a transition of some sort and I will try to take it easy, nap, keep easy meals handy and take help from my mom etc. when offered.
I'm going to make a few things to put in the freezer. that'll be about it. Sleep when you can and don't stress.
Thanks everyone for your reply's to this post! Really enjoying the positive stories and info :)
Life CAN be magical.We just have to create it that way.
I'm a first-time mom, but I'm married to a guy who cooks and cleans AND works mostly from home, so we're not doing too much to prepare for post-partum stuff. We live less than a block from a grocery store that carries a lot of organic food and also have a pharmacy and hardware store and anything else we might need within walking distance. I might make a lasagna and/or some soup in advance, and I'll stock up on some pantry/fridge ingredients but that's about it.
Like you, SaRaiMelting, I'm going to use a cloth diaper service for the first few months, and they pick up in the middle of the night (you just leave the dirties outside in the container they provide!). There's a laundromat less than a block away, too.
I don't want any family members coming to stay with us to "help" (and have sort of hinted that fact to my mother-in-law; my mom's job is too busy for her to come for more than a few days anyway), and people who visit to see the baby will have to sleep somewhere else.
We only have 4 rooms in our apartment, so it should be easy to keep up with the housework (and we both have medium standards of cleanliness, so I think it's do-able).
I have probably a skewed idea of getting ready now, because my first child...Okay, it was not what we all hope for. The first year of her life was basically hell for everyone. We took turns bouncing the baby and eating to the sounds of irate screaming, for example, and she never slept. Turns out she was gluten intolerant and it kept her in a chronic state of sleep deprivation. So for that sort of baby, there is no being prepared. I keep reassuring myself that at a minimum, this baby is likely to be easier than THAT, but of course there's a preschooler to keep track of and clean up after, too. So I focus on having the house as organized as possible--you know, a place for everything so that at least it's not some huge mental exercise to have everything in its place...especially when the baby gets mobile, my experience is that there is no such thing as babyproofing if the house isn't moderately clean. I'm going to try to make sure that my husband really knows where everything goes, because right now he doesn't, and he's really crippled when it comes to cleaning up. He's great about doing what needs to be done, but he was living/working elsewhere part-time for a lot of this year and things moved and he lost track, you know? I might even label cabinets and such, to help take advantage of whatever help is offered.
The BEST advice I got last time I was pregnant, bar none, was to stock the freezer with ready-made meals, and I want to do even more of that this time. The greatest ideas I've seen for helping a new mom have been things like providing freezer meals at showers instead of gifts, or churches or other circles of friends bringing meals to the new family, but the gluten thing makes that harder for us now, unfortunately.
Speaking of health, though, I wish I'd been better prepared to take care of myself last time immediately postpartum, because I was pretty wrecked. It was a natural homebirth and all, but pregnancy was pretty brutal on me (this time, too) and so was the birth, and I had to be helped around the house for over a week. Maybe liquid chlorophyll to help perk my red blood cells back up, some cod liver oil...just some high-impact, easily consumed foods to help me get back on my feet faster. Dang girl wanted nothing but to be held and walked with, and I could barely stay upright! So this time, I'll spend a little extra to hedge my bets health-wise.
I coulda stood to spend some extra time practicing diaper folds. We had prefolds, which I like, but maaaaaan, looking back at the pictures, there were some seriously sad diapering jobs there. This time I confess I splurged on some strictly unnecessary fitteds just becase newborns are REALLY SMALL and fiddly and floppy. :-P
Also, last time I was minimalist with the stuff we bought...okay, maybe a bit cheap...and this time I'm allowing myself to splurge on more things that I hope will help. For example, if we hadn't gotten a hand-me-down swing, we never would have known that Evelyn LOVED it...when we busted that thing out, suddenly the house got clean and dinner got cooked. But the bouncy seat we bought because everyone said they were great was a total bust--you just have to accept that it's hit-and-miss, I think, and try to find things used or hand-me-down if you can.
That's enough outta me.
We have a tiny dishwasher, a tiny apartment and a microscopic kitchen with a small freezer over our fridge. We will use paper plates. We bought a Wii for the little ones in case I don't feel like going out much the first couple weeks, and they've learned how to use it. I think the new baby will bring them each a game for it, since we don't have a lot of room for *stuff*.
I will freeze some gluten-free, dairy and soy free meals, since both of my children had MSPI pretty much from birth. We survived after the first one on bagels and froze Trader Joe's meals, and the few homemade meals I had frozen tasted really good!
I need to schedule some playdates here now, so hopefully the kids will have some reciprocal playdates then.
DH will probably take a week off. I was pretty overwhelmed both times before. I was just thinking I might look into a postpartum doula.
I like the idea of making a menu (and shopping lists) for the first month. I should do that! :)
Do you have a crockpot? When I found out I was pregnant this time I was like, I need a crockpot ASAP. It's definitely been helpful throughout the pregnancy, especially when it was hot and I didn't want to heat up the kitchen, and when I had morning sickness and didn't want to be hanging out over the stove. It's great because I can take 5 minutes either in the morning (and set it to Low) or the early afternoon (set it on High), just chop an onion, throw in beans or a bean mix for stews, maybe a potato or bell pepper, a buillon cube or two, and a sprig of herbs and then forget about it. I paid the extra $10 for the one that has a timer, when the time is up it goes straight to Keep Warm mode. Sooooo awesome. If you like stews it's really the best thing ever.
Good call on the diaper service, we did that with the first two and will definitely do it again.
Do you have a sling or some type of baby carrier yet? That was the only way I could get anything done for the first two months, until DD1 decided she would scream until I put her down on her back on a play mat. DD2 never liked being put down, so the sling was necessary a lot longer with her. My favorite was a New Native, but everyone seems to have different favorites so you may need to try a few. I also loved having a bouncy seat, even though we never turned on the music/ vibrations (never even put the batteries in), and didn't use it very much, it was sooo nice for when I needed to take a shower, go to the bathroom, etc. Just having something to easily move around the house for a safe place to put the baby down where I could see her was really, really helpful.
Have a nursing bra and whatever kind of menstrual pads you will use ready on hand.
Stock up on books and movies.
With any luck your postpartum period won't be too bad. I think it gets harder with subsequent children, provided your first doesn't have allergies or reflux and so on. You sound very prepared to take it easy and not worry about the house getting messy, I think that is often the hardest part for new parents, the "letting it go" attitude.
Mama to 3 awesome girls: DD1 born 2001, DD2 born 2002, DD3 born March 2011
IME, it is so crazy because it is such a change from life without kids! With my first I wasn't overwhelmed by tiredness as much as I was overwhelmed by how in love I was. All the basics got done... and if they didn't I didn't really notice.
This time (my second, 10 years after my first) it is a little different since I have a child, and a SN step child to care for. So I am more focused on getting everything organized and stocked... not because I don't think I could do it, but more because I don't think I'll want to. I remember loving the newborn stage with my DD and I want to soak it up again this time.
I am all for the sling, crock-pot, and other things people have suggested.

Schrader Beckstoffer Georges III Vyd. Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
We are proud to present our portfolio of 100 percent Cabernet Sauvignon winesfrom two of Napa Valley's most prestigious and historic vineyard estates—theBeckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville and the Beckstoffer Georges IIIVineyard in Rutherford. With both outstanding locations, we combinemeticulous vineyard management with "no holds barred" winemaking practicesto produce elegant wines of exceptional depth, richness, and character that wefeel are the highest and most authentic expression of these noble vineyards.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Spectator - "Seductive in its overlay of rich, concentrated flavors, with enticing jazzy toasty, creamy oak draped over rich currant, black cherry and blackberry fruit that's tight and focused. Ends with mouthcoating ripe tannins that have great traction. Best from 2010 through 2018."
The Wine Advocate - "The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer George III Vineyard offers an extraordinary bouquet of creme de cassis, scorched earth, and burning embers as well as full-bodied power, velvety tannins, and exceptional density and richness. This superb wine exhibits layered extravagance and sweet tannins, a rarity in this vintage. It is already drinking well."
Schrader Cellars Winery
Founded in 1998 by Fred Schrader, Schrader Cellars is dedicated to bringing together the finest vineyard and winemaking resources available to create full-throttle, unbridled wines of great distinction and complex structure. Their programs focus on classic grape varietals grown in the famed Beckstoffer To Kalon Vineyard in Oakville, and the Beckstoffer Georges III Vineyard in Rutherford. They are handcrafted by winemaker Thomas Brown in very limited quantities and are often defined by a single clone of a grape variety, a specific block within a remarkable vineyard or, in some cases, a matrix for the two. This intricate and involved method offers an extremely provocative and rewarding exploration of the influence of clone selection and terroir on the resulting wine. View all Schrader Cellars Wines
About Napa Valley
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country unto itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

The National Letter Intent period started last Wednesday and has almost come to a close, as recruits around the country finally put things in writing. We've been posting conference breakdowns throughout - ACC, Big East and Ivy League. Tomorrow, for a 'Best of the Rest' portion, I'll be providing analysis for top ECAC and Patriot classes, Hopkins, and more.
Please send an e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com with any names that may be missing over on the 2013 Recruiting Thread. We'll be making updates on a regular basis throughout next week. Here are the Top 50 Young Gun Senior Rankings from the September Recruiting Issue.
If you're confirming a 2014 or 2015's verbal commitment, send me an e-mail along with other schools strongly considered, stats/honors and where you played this summer and fall. I'll also be taking Recruiting Mailbag questions, so if you'd like to submit one, do so along with your name and where you're from, or request to remain anonymous.
To submit notes, links or photos from NLI week, e-mail Geoff Shannon.
UD has always brought in rather large classes, and this is just that, containing mostly under the radar types from the East Coast's hotbeds. Engelken, Pena, Wieczorek and Weaver are all established dodgers out of the midfield. Valencia and Major are a pair of quarterbacks, while Martin is an athletic shot stopper from Florida. Horowski will also impress.
Tom Engelken, M, Sachem East (N.Y.)
Matt Prokosch, M, Eastport-South Manor (N.Y.)
Nick Martin, G, Boca Raton (Fla.)
Logan Aunon, A/M, Paul VI (Va.)

At least to our knowledge, this is a small class. Gennosa is a strong cover man in between the lines and will provide depth for the Dragons right away. Manderack is a talented yet underrated keeper out of Philly, while Senft and Valentino are dynamic offensive options from the same high school.
Matt Senft, A, Hempfield (Pa.)

Jake Kiernan, D, St. Dominic's (N.Y.)
Jake Gennosa, LSM, Cold Spring Harbor (N.Y.)
In my opinion, this is the best class the Pride has signed in at least five years. Kupecky and O'Connell are excellent pickups and were a big part of Team Philly's run to the Under Armour title this summer. Clarke is one of the nation's most dominant FOGOs, while Cunningham provides athleticism in between the pipes. Davis is a savvy Canadian inside.
Trevor Kupecky, A, Upper Merion (Pa.)
Peter Reilly, D, CBA-Albany (N.Y.)
Brandyn O'Connell, A/M, Downingtown East (Pa.)

Alex Moeser, M, Greenwich (Conn.)
Conor Cunningham, G, Hereford (Md.)
Stephen Satterthwaite, D, Malvern Prep (Pa.)
John Puckhaber, M, St. Anthony's (N.Y.)
The Minutemen will need a few impact players from this class after next year's graduation. Mariano could be a multiple-year starter, and is a reliable finisher in close. There's no shortage of defensive prospects in Andreassi, Marusi, Weeks, Madaisky and Spencer. Among UMass' group, three Canadians are added to the mix.
Jeff George, M, Watchung Hills (N.J.)
Nick Mariano, A, Yorktown (N.Y.)

Tremendous group here including four Top 50 Young Gun Seniors. Tambroni is adding both a ton of middle-of-the-field depth and some offensive prowess with this group. Big time shooters in Mazza, Heacock, Aponte and Sutton - each one has the talent to play right away. Intriguing that this group is built with tons of Maryland and New York hotbed talents.
No. 10 Michael Sutton, M, St. Augustine (N.J.)
No. 20 Colin Heacock, A, Boys' Latin (Md.)
No. 22 Nick Aponte, M, West Islip (N.Y.)
No. 45 Nick Mazza, M, Calverton (Md.)
James Rainier, M, Calverton (Md.)
Eli Lasda, M, Ithaca (N.Y.)
Billy Lombardi, M, Aquinas Institute (N.Y.)
Lucas Maloney, A, Niskayuna (N.Y.)
Peter Triolo, D, Smithtown East (N.Y.)
Coming off a string of seasons to forget, the Hawks will need help quickly. Raucci is a slippery dodger and can score in bunches. Manning is one of the better face-off men in New York, while Guinta is another nice signee who will help in a variety of ways. Milione and Jones are two more solid acquisitions.
Robert Raucci, A, Garnet Valley (Pa.)

Very impressive class for Nadelen & Co., and it starts with local standouts. Seider provides a boost for the attack from the get go, while Mayes will do the same for the ropes unit. Adams and Lynch are athletes at the midfield. Leonard and Konen are two more nice recruits.

I just spent Tuesday at the track with my WRX Wagon. My Brother invited me to go with him, as he had just bought a 2002 Saleen Mustang and the dealership he bought it at was sending all of their Saleen buyers to The Proformance Racing School for the day on them.
So there I was a Red WRX Wagon with 4 Saleen Mustangs (3 of them supercharged), a 2001 Mustang Cobra and a built 1965 Mustang fastback. A couple of the drivers were looking at my car and thinking why would I bother bringing my car to the track, especially matched up against there 375 HP Mustangs with race suspension. Now I have driven my brother's car a couple of times (he has the one with no supercharger his horsepower around 285) and the Saleens are a whole different breed of mustangs. First of all they rip out all of the suspension in a Mustang GT and replace with Race Tek equipment and than they work on the Motor.
The first part of the day was practicing driving techniques (Threshold Braking, Slalom, Collision avoidance). This part went pretty well what became abundantly clear was that the Brakes on the WRX work very well.
The second part of the day was dedicated to the track this is where I thought it might be real interesting trying to keep up with Saleens as they have stiffer suspension more HP and better wheels and tires (I have thestock 16" all-season tires on the car, my Brother onthe other hand has 18" Pirelli P-Zero on his car). Iwas hoping for wet weather that is where I felt I would have the advantage as his Car would not have as much grip in the rain as the Subaru would (The Beauty of All Wheel Drive). And my prayers were answered as it Rained on and off most of the day. The suprising part was the Brakes in the WRX it allowed me to Brake Later and hold better entry speed in the corners also the WRX handles real well.
Ok after three track sessions I had passed four different Saleens out there and no one could gain any on me. Since it was raining and went they were having me short shift and stay out of the Boost as much as possible. We were just out to learn the track where the apex was what lines to take and so forth running about 7/tenths pace or so. Iwas hitting around 100 or so on the front straight my brother around 120 or so but I would easily make up for this on the back section.
So for you guys that are taking the class on July 1 you are going to have a blast it was great. After you get thruogh this class you are eligible to sign up for afternoon lapping sessions. My brother and I are signing up for these on July 29 for any of you who want to join us.
In the end I shocked a few Saleen Owners. A little Red Wagon kicked there butts. There big Supercharged V-8's could not match a car with better brakes.

Gator Baseball Explodes in Sixth, Beat UGA 6-3
Published April 23rd, 2012
In their fifth rubber game in a row to decide an SEC series, the Florida Gators refused to let a golden opportunity slip away against bitter rival Georgia. Down 3-2 in the bottom of the sixth inning, Florida used a four-run frame capped by a three-run homer by senior Daniel Pigott to beat the Bulldogs 6-3. Pigott matched a career-best with four RBI on the afternoon. Sophomore pitcher Karsten Whitson picked up the victory in relief while Austin Maddox closed out a perfect ninth inning for his 11th save in 11 chances this season.

If we were to keep the 2 buck rule I would like to see rifle season set up like Kansas has it in mid December. I understand the fact that they are trying to set the gun seasons as close to the rut as possible for better hunter success but IMO this is the cause of people shooting immature deer. Just because ole Billy Bob wants some horns for the front of his jeep he shoots a 1 1/2 year old 6 point, that who knows in 3 years was a very nice 150" trophy for someone who actually puts in the time. Now for kids shooting young deer, I don't have as much as problem because it gets them interested in the sport. My first deer was a 2 1/2 year old 10 point that nowadays I would let walk, but thats what got me started.
This is one from this year. I see several every season that are mature Forks or mature 6's

fucking lazy sick cunt
Oh shit double post!
How fucking stupid can you be??!!
What fucking planet is he living on? Misguided? He must be the most cuntingly stupid cunt in the cunting world. Cunt.Quote:
Judge Lord Turnbull described his actions as "misguided intervention rather than as an act of malice."
How the fuck did he escape a prison sentance?Quote:
The ruling means McArthur's conviction is still recorded but he is neither imprisoned nor fined.
I wish that he could be sent to a Oz-like prison where he would regularly have some big mofo force his cock into his bottom on a regular basis. This would happen for a few years and then someone would cave his head in with some weights.
He has to go back to Cambuslang with that story in the public domain?

Mental health research: Falling through the gaps
Priorities for research into mental illness in the developing world are not the same as those in the West, writes Katherine Nightingale. There are 450 million people around the world living with a mental disorder.
Mental illnesses on the rise in SA
One in five South Africans suffer from a mental disorder severe enough to affect their lives significantly, the Medical Research Council has revealed. October is Mental Health Awareness Month.
What is mental illness?
Mental illness is wide-spread and often undiagnosed, with the World Health Organisation estimating that 450-million people worldwide suffer mental illness.
Mental Health Services Research Review - Proceedings of the Dissemination Workshop held on 20 June 2001
Published by:
Health Systems Trust
BACKGROUND AND INTRODUCTIONS: The Health Systems Trust has funded a significant number of research projects related to Mental Health Services since its inception. There was a perception that there was a lot of duplication of research, and that the findings of research projects were not reaching key stakeholders, and thus not impacting on policy or implementation of services. There was also a lack of any systematic review of the field. With this in mind, the Health Systems Trust commissioned a project to review research that has been conducted in the field of Mental Health Services. The objectives of the project are thus: - To compile and communicate the findings and recommendations of existing research on mental health services to all role-players - To identify gaps in existing work - To make recommendations for future research - To identify obstacles or barriers to the implementation of research recommendations - To facilitate the sharing of information amongst key stakeholders OBJECTIVES OF DISSEMINATION WORKSHOP: 1. To confirm a mental health services research agenda for the Health Systems Trust (and possibly also for Essential National Mental Health Research). 2. To make recommendations for good research practices/processes in mental health services research. 3. To make recommendations for a dissemination strategy for Mental Health Services research that will reach all role players. Fifty key role-players in the mental health services field were invited to attend the dissemination workshop. The invitees were selected in terms of their positions and also in terms of their response to previous contact within the context of this project. There were thirty-eight participants at the workshop.

Attendance: 5,353
Next U-M Event: Thursday, Dec. 5 -- vs. U.S. NTDP Under-18 (Yost Ice Arena), 7 p.m.
COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Mac Bennett (Narragansett, R.I.) scored with 1:35 remaining in the third period to lift the University of Michigan ice hockey team (No. 3 USA Hockey, No. 3 USCHO) to a 5-4 win at Ohio State on Monday night (Dec. 2) inside Value City Arena. The Wolverines, playing in their first Big Ten road game, have now won four straight and 10 of 13 to start the season.
JT Compher (Northbrook, Ill.) had his first career two-goal game, and Michael Downing (Canton, Mich.) and Zach Hyman (Toronto, Ontario) each added their first goals of the season to lead the Wolverines, who have scored 19 times in their last four games.
Goaltender Steve Racine (Williamsville, N.Y.), making his first start in net since Nov. 16 at Nebraska-Omaha, made 39 saves in net to improve to 4-0-1 on the season despite Ohio State outshooting Michigan, 12-4, in the first period and 43-26 for the game.
With the game still scoreless late in the period, Racine made his best stop of the frame after OSU's Matt Johnson found an open lane following a neutral-zone turnover. Johnson's wrist shot from the high slot was squeezed by Racine at the 12:00 mark.
Minutes later, Hyman notched his first goal of the season on Michigan's second shot of the period. Cristoval 'Boo' Nieves (Baldwinsville, N.Y.) made a backhand pass from behind the OSU net to Hyman, who beat Davis between the pads at 14:04 to put U-M up, 1-0.
The Buckeyes evened the score early in the second period on a breakaway by leading scorer Ryan Dzingel, who flipped a backhander past Racine at 3:57 to tie the game at 1-1.
A little more than a minute later, the Wolverines regained the lead with the two teams skating 4-on-4. Alex Guptill (Newmarket, Ontario) won a faceoff back to Nolan De Jong (Victoria, B.C.), who fired a shot through traffic on net. The puck deflected to Compher for a tap-in goal at 5:06, his fourth of the season.
Compher added another goal later in the period at 14:03 on a similar play, putting in a rebound off a hard shot on net by Luke Moffatt (Paradise Valley, Ariz.), who recorded his second assist of the night on the play.
Early on the third period, Downing scored his first collegiate goal and first by a U-M defenseman, at 2:49, on a slap shot from the left point. Alex Kile (Troy, Mich.) set up the goal with a nice move to gain the zone, and Travis Lynch (White Lake, Mich.) added an assist on the play.
U-M killed off five straight OSU power plays to start the game, but the Buckeyes capitalized on their sixth opportunity midway through the third period to cut U-M's lead to 4-2.
The Buckeyes made it a one-goal game at 13:13 and tied the contest on the man-advantage at 14:31.
On Michigan's game-winner, Mike Chiasson (Henderson, Nev.) circled back along the side boards and waited for Bennett, who cut to the net. Chiasson fed Bennett with a pass across the goal mouth, and the senior defenseman found the open net.
U-M will host the U.S. NTDP Under-18 program in an exhibition contest at 7 p.m. on Thursday night (Dec. 5) at Yost Ice Arena.

"Mirko has no clue of the kind of trouble he has gotten himself into"
Wanderlei Silva has made no execuses for his losss and has simply stated he wants to fight Mirko one more time
Cro Cop's redemption
"All about the night when Mirko Filipovic finally conquered his first major belt – after a KO over Wanderlei Siva and a crushing victory over Josh Barnett
The afternoon of September 10th in Japan began with two knee strikes, a mount and the choke from the back applied by Cyborg on Japanese bixer Nishijima. Or, at least, that's how it started on the ring of Saitama Super Arena. A beginning just like the sushi Murilo Bustamante was eating back in Brazil when he said: "I'm going to root like crazy for Wanderlei Silva…" Let's allow the reader to reflect for a second. "…In the first fight," Minotauro's training mate adds with an ironic tone of voice. He considers the Chute Boxe star to be a most suitable – or a less tricky - opponent for Nogueira.
Aloof to Bustamante's interests, Wanderlei is jumping up and down in his corner, the mouth protector shinning white while Cro Cop is walking the plank. There's clapping in Brazil and silence in Japan. The fight begins and Wand charges forward. This time, Cro Cop does not walk backwards. There's no study. Mirko is more effective both in the dodging and the hitting. So much that Wand shoots the legs and puts Filipovic in his guard. After a few moments when the fight loses its rhythm, the fighters are back on their feet. Silva insists in going for it. Then, a right hand blow lands on his face and knocks him down. Quickly, Cro Cop enters Silva's guard and punches repeatedly his foe's nose and right eye – both areas already hurt. Blood gushes out and the fight is interrupted.
Body language is 60% of communication, according to Hitch, the character played by Will Smith in the movie with the same name. Wand's thumb and index finger close together and the expression on his face give away what's going on. "Just a bit more," the subtitles would read if there were any. The referee nods his head. Captions: "It is over." The gesture discussion goes on for a moment and Wand's plead prevails: the fight continues. There are applauses in Brazil and agitation in Japan – where fans love the warrior spirit.
Cro Cop insists for the fight to resume on the ground.
It is a wise decision that hinders Silva from his last chance of recovery. From the guard, Wand looks like a tamed beast. There is not much he could do to express his anger. So the Chute Boxe star tries a series of short punches that have no effect at all on Cro Cop. The Croatian knows that once the fight returns to the stand up position, Wand would be a lot calmer.
Even so, it's best not to risk it. Once both are up again, Cro Cop returns to his usual counter-strike game. He kicks Wand's ribs. Wand keeps going forward. Mirko hits the ribs again. Wand seems not to be affected by it but he lowers his guard a bit. The next kick hits Wand's head. It looks like a missile that was fired accurately and leaves a mark. A cut the size of a fist on the right side of Wand's head. The Brazilian laid down unconscious. He was saved by the referee that prevented Cro Cop from continuing his attack. That was the shocking end of Wand's adventure among the heavyweights.
"Mirko fought very well," admitted later Rudimar Fedrigo, leader of the Chute Boxe Team. "I'm very upset. I guess no one expected such an outcome," he continues. You couldn't help noticing the prostration of the "big master" – mentor and kind of second father to Wanderlei. "I don't like to see Wand hurt like that. His defeat affects all the team," he confesses. "Of course he's sad but he already told me that he's going to be back and that he wants to face Mirko again." Somebody close by comments that Mirko has no clue of the kind of trouble he has gotten himself into. "There's no doubt about it," says Fedrigo, looking into the future
SOURCE: Cro Cop's redemption
What I could read of this was pretty interesting, there were all kinds of symbols inserted into the text. Wanderlei looked beat up bad in that pic. I think he was in survival mode at that point and anger was not the foremost thing on his mind.
Wow, nice you know how to copy and paste. I could understand half the things in that article. If a rematch happens between Crocop and Silva, then Crocop will win again.
HAHAHAHAHAH it wasnt my fault dude ! you really think i added that crap in, graciemag decodes something or does something to **** up the text , just click on the freaking LINK and SOURCE on the botttom of the post........................
proof of plagerism. but its at least a nice find, don't rip on him.
Did what he say piss you off? That was a funny post, I've never even met you and I could almost hear you saying that.
hahahahahah no it didnt make me mad at alll , it was just a ignorant comment, so i replied back
LOL. I hope your not mad. I was just messing with you because you didn't edit the numbers and signs out. I guess it was only funny to me. :dunno:
hahahahahaha you guys neeed to stop acting like girls, 1 more time ................. Im not MAD, i promise :laugh:
Now back to the topic , Vanderlei wanting to fight CroCop again , i think it should happen, wand by ko :cheeky4: :thumbsup:
CC by KO again.He has Wandy's number.Its just not a good match up for him. Dont get me wrong Wandy is a outstanding fighter but sometimes in sports theres always that one team,one guy that has your number.
Tito has Kens
Yankees have the Red Sox(im a red sox fan)
Michael Jordan had the whole western conference number at one time
Chuck has Babalu's
Tim has AA
Hughes has Triggs
I think i have made my point.

Pretty tasty.
I must have missed something with this one. The steak came out chewy, pretty bland, and watery. I ended up draining out the water and adding more garlic salt, cumin, chili powder and paprika. Now I can say yummy!! However the steak was still kinda chewy, not sure if was because of the cut or just being over cooked, but at least it tasted good. Next time I think I will sear the steak whole with the spices, in a seperate pan. then let it rest, slice it and add it to the veggies or just serve it on top of the veggies, and add it last minute. This dish has great potential!!
I believe it was the water that did that. I'd say less water and to make sure you are using a thick enough round steak. I use thin cut sirloin because I had leftover meat and it also turned out chewy…But I still like a different texture every so often.
I thought olive oil was only okay to use as a dressing?
Can you grill the stake vs. cooking on the stove?
So are the carrots raw ?
Needs more spices. Also, I even went and bought grass fed beef, and I also think was too chewy. Maybe a different cut of meat.
I agree. If I make this again, I'll use a different cut of meat. Every single time I've made anything with top round, ever ever, it comes out uninteresting. I think it's the cut. (And for this recipe, I made the meat separately so I didn't overcook it.) Could I use a pork butt steak or lamb shoulder steak?
Mine turned out perfectly I used a whole round steak. I added more sea salt and the steak was not chewy at all. It was a good cut from a local butcher. I enjoyed the crunch of the carrots.
Just made it aswell. Very chewy, the meat contained so much water it 'semi-boiled', making it very chewy. First of 20 of your recepies my girlfriend and i had to agree on wasnt in out taste – however i like the idea of serving a dish like This on a bed of carrots.
I used stirfry beef and marinated it with the garlic powder, salt and pepper for a couple of hours. Stirfried it with the onions in bacon drippings then added the peppers last. The beef was flavorful and tender and the veggies crisp and refreshing. Even my anti-paleo teen enjoyed it.
Was kind of bland. Needs some more seasoning or a little coconut amino marinade. I would steam the carrots also- raw carrots under tender meat and onions didnt work well for me.
We cooked the round steak in a crock pot until we could pull it apart easily with a fork (depending on size 2-4 hrs) then sautéed the veggie in fresh herbs (cilantro, white pepper and fresh lime juice) then ate it rolled up in butter lettuce leaves for a Mexican twist on Thai lettuce wraps
Following the recipe exactly creates a bland meal with chewy meat. Next time I will add other seasoning & choose a different cut of beef.
Not bad. Used garlic and put pepper and salt and some chilli powder over meat before cooking. Tasty but next time will steam the carrots.
We are new to paleo eating. The entire family loved it. Can't wait to try more recipes.
This recipe sounds great, but as a lot of the comments above state the meat will come out chewy. The round steak is a tougher less tender cut with more connective tissue. I would suggest using Top Lion Steak or Tenderlion steak in place of the round steak. The round steak is better for a long slow cook.

325xi with strange interstate speed 'floating' problem
Hello everyone,
New to the group, first post and new to BMW. Bought a 2003 325xi with 120K on it. Just put some new Firestrone Oval tires (see link to view tread pattern)
Here is the strange deal:
At highway speeds the car seems to 'float' around on the interstate. It's not an allignment issue for I had that done and it tracks wonderfully.
It just seems like I can't keep it still on the road when I get it above 70.
Should I be blaming the tires or do I have suspension parts that need replaced?_a_
When I was a professional technician, many many years ago, we called that characteristic "Road Crazy". Maybe they still do, don't know. In rural areas where I worked, it was often an alignment issue. Old farm roads, people driving out into fields, etc. In more urban areas we saw less of that kind of thing, and less "road crazy" complaints. However, the cause was generally a caster issue, which helps with directional stability. Less positive caster, less directional stability. Since these cars don't really have much of a caster angle adjustment, not much can be done there. If there IS a caster issue, I would suspect some significant damage in the past which was not corrected the right way. With that said, I would strongly suspect the tires. I have had experiences with my Corvette and new vs. old tires make an incredible difference in Interstate driving. Some tires and some cars are more sensitive to the subtle (here in Illinois NOT so subtle) ruts in the outer lanes caused by heavy semi's in warm weather. And ... never have been a Firestone fan. LOL
Had a similar sensation with a set of Blizzak MZ-01s....I referred to them as "big greasy donuts", that`s pretty much what they felt like. Anything over 70 mph imparted a VERY "nervous" feeling to the suspension, as if complete loss of control was imminent and you were about to slide right off the road. They never got any better with wear, so I replaced them with Dunlop Wintersport M3s, which were the complete opposite of the Blizzaks. The M3s do everything right, and are rock-steady at highway speeds, even at triple-digits....
First off, welcome to the 'fest.
Second, I know the feeling you're talking about. I have a 2004 325xi and I encountered this on my way to North Carolina a few months back. Before you go and replace your tires, double check that they're all running the same pressure. If they're not, your AWD will constantly try to correct the imbalance and, I think, give the car a feeling that you're not really in control.
Next, shut your traction control all the way off (hold the button for 5+ seconds), get up to 70, and see if it pulls one way or the other. Again, sometimes the systems in this car have a way of masking simple problems. Well, not mask them, really, they just present differently.
It's your control arm bushings I bet. Cheap replacement and your problem should go away.
Its obviously the tires - they're supposed to be circles, not Ovals. :)
Control arms are my first thought after that.

Before Friday night's exhibition game in Kansas City, Chiefs wideout Jon Baldwin and his fellow receivers ogled 49ers quarterback Colin Kaerpernick's passes during warm-ups. Tuesday, he found himself catching those passes from his new teammate for the first time.
"I was saying he throws a really good ball," Baldwin told reporters during his first full day with his new team. "And then two or three days later I'm here. It's kind of funny but I think it's going to work out. It's a blessing in disguise, it's a great opportunity to be here."
The 49ers traded for Baldwin Monday and are hoping he picks things up quickly, as just 19 days remain before the start of the regular season. They also hope he's a better fit in the offense than the player he was traded for, A.J. Jenkins.
Like Jenkins, behind Baldwin is a forgettable past littered with unmet expectations. As a rookie in his first NFL training camp, he got into a fight with his well-respected teammate Thomas Jones, injuring his own wrist forcing him out of action for the season's first five weeks.
That year he appeared in 11 games, made three starts and netted 21 catches for 254 yards and a score. Rookie receivers are often given the benefit of doubt in their first full year as they adjust to the speed and complexities of the professional game, but Baldwin's underwhelming second season began to draw concern from his organization.
In his 46 targets, Baldwin made just 20 receptions while his struggling quarterbacks had just 47.8 rating when throwing his way, according to Pro Football Focus.
When the Chiefs brought in new head coach Andy Reid, he showed little tolerance of Baldwin's dropped passes and overall lack of production in his new offense.
"I can tell you that when given the opportunity in this league, you'd better catch the football," Reid told reporters after Baldwin dropped a catchable pass Friday's loss to San Francisco.
Baldwin joins a crowded group of receivers competing for a roster spot but figures into the equation given his experience over the others. Aside from the team's No. 1 option Anquan Boldin, no player outside of Austin Collie has a significant track record in the NFL. Mario Manningham won't be available until at least Week 7 and Michael Crabtree's prognosis is still unknown as he works his way back from May's Achilles tear.
"It's a fresh start," Baldwin said. "I just got to do what all these coaches need me to do, just be real precise with things from that standpoint. Just soak all of it in, just get around Anquan and just learn things from him."
Baldwin's said his former teammate in Kansas City Steve Breaston would speak highly of Boldin and use him as a positive example after the two played together with the Arizona Cardinals.
His new offensive coordinator Greg Roman hopes Baldwin spends plenty of time utilizing Boldin and fellow veteran Vernon Davis as resources to familiarize him with the offense and new team.
"If I was a young player and I didn't do that, I would want somebody to smack me in the head. If you have the opportunity to watch, or listen or learn from players with that track record of success… and you don't take advantage of that, we need to have a talk," Roman said.
As a blank canvas, San Francisco hopes it can paint Baldwin as the productive receiver he projected to be out of Pittsburgh after being drafted 26th overall in 2011. He has size (6'4", 230 pounds) and speed (he ran a 4.50 second 40-yard dash and had a 42-inch vertical leap at the combine).
Given the type of big, physical corners inhabiting the NFC west, the 49ers deemed Baldwin a better fit while Jenkins struggled in press coverage during his time in San Francisco. But Baldwin's physical skills will be of little use if his drops persist as his hands have become apart of his negative reputation.
"You know you want to catch them all, you may drop one or two," Baldwin said. "You pride yourself as a receiver to want to catch them all. You can't get too down on it, you just got to go out and make the next play."

The freezing weather in Britain and much of Europe at the moment may make it feel as though it is just too cold to embark on anything of true significance right now, but this weekend could be a pivotal one in the Premier League title race.
For only the third time in the past two decades there are two clubs level at the top of the table at the start of February. Manchester City and Manchester United both have 54 points going into this weekend's games. Both clubs have won, drawn and lost the same number of matches, though City are nominal leaders by virtue of their superior goal difference.
Had City been told at the start of the season that they would be in this position they would have grabbed the opportunity quicker than you could say 'Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed bin Sultan al-Nahyan'. But, having been as much as five points clear back at the beginning of December and dishing out that 6-1 thrashing at Old Trafford, they could be forgiven for looking at the table and feeling as bitter as the current seasonal conditions.
The past two occasions on which the lead has been shared on February 1 will not make comfortable reading for City either.
In 1999-2000 United were joint-top with Leeds on 47 points, though they had scored 15 goals more than David O'Leary's team. By the end of the month United were six points clear thanks in no small part to a 1-0 win at Elland Road. The campaign ended with United retaining the title with a whopping 91 points, 18 above runners-up Arsenal with Leeds dropping to third place. That season proved to be the high-watermark for Leeds' "living the dream" under Peter Ridsdale's extravagant stewardship, on the domestic front at least.
It was Arsenal who were level-pegging with United in 2007-08, with the two biggest rivals of the Premier League era both on 57 points going into the seventh month of the season. The Gunners even ended the month two points clear, but by the end of March they had suffered the sort of late-season slump which has come to define them in recent years, slipping to third, six points behind United. Alex Ferguson's side went on to beat Chelsea to the title on the final day of the season before doing the same in Moscow 10 days later in the Champions League final.
City appear better equipped to cope with the strain of running parallel to United at such an advanced stage of the season - certainly better than an expensively-yet-hastily-assembled Leeds side or an Arsenal team getting used to life without Thierry Henry, in any case.
They can also look to this weekend's fixtures with a degree of optimism as they prepare to welcome Fulham to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday evening. While the visit of the Cottagers - recently shorn of Bobby Zamora but with Clint Dempsey unerring in front of goal of late - is by no means a formality, it is a fixture vastly preferable to that which United have in front of them.
The champions travel to Stamford Bridge on Sunday, a venue where City lost back in mid-December and had their aforementioned five-point lead dented in the process.
United, on the other hand, have won five of their last six encounters with Chelsea including their most recent visit to Stamford Bridge in the Champions League last season.
Since that win over City, Chelsea have only lost once in eight league games, but they have also drawn five of those games. During that run, the only league match they scored more than once in was a 2-1 victory at Wolves.
The expected returns of Wayne Rooney, Ashley Young and Nani could hardly be better timed for United, especially with the visit to Old Trafford of Liverpool next on their fixture list.
City may have suffered defeats to Sunderland and Everton in the league since the turn of the year, but they have the chance to make amends over the next week if they can record back-to-back wins over Fulham and Aston Villa, by which time the brothers Toure may well be back among their ranks.
This is a crucial time in the campaign during which Roberto Mancini's team must take the initiative if they are to avoid becoming just another side who pushed United for so long before fading at the last.

QUOTE OF THE DAY: "If Terry goes to the Euros the trial will impact on his holiday. It won't impact on his pre-season because he'll get a rest after the Euros. It'll just be his down-time but it won't be Anton's down-time. People are making decisions that impact one of our players. Anton is involved in the case and they have been given a date that is slap bang in the middle of our pre-season from my point of view and Anton's. I don't know how they have come up with the date, whether they have had discussions with the FA and made sure it doesn't impact on the Euros. But they haven't discussed it with us. It seems to be set in stone. I might be completely wrong but I wasn't in that discussion if there was one." - Queens Park Rangers manager Mark Hughes is annoyed at the July date set for the trial of John Terry on charges of allegedly racially abusing QPR defender Anton Ferdinand, claiming it will affect his player more than the England captain. According to widespread reports, Terry may not have that role for much longer if the FA board decide to take the armband back from him once again, something they are reportedly meeting to discuss today.
FOREIGN VIEW: "I was beaten with fists and kicks to the neck, head and feet. I saw our fans die before us and we were unable to do anything … I have to think about my life differently now" - Al-Ahly coach Manuel Jose describes the ordeal he and his players suffered during Wednesday's rioting at the stadium in Port Said, Egypt, which claimed dozens of lives and injured more than 1,000 people.

The ex-governor and VP pick railed against political consultants at CPAC.
Florida senator and potential Romney VP Marco Rubio did figure-8's around some tough questioning on Meet the Press Sunday.
A mere two weeks after surfing those swing states to a second term, the VP is turning the big 7-0.
But the old-school olive branch—offering Rick the VP slot—seems unlikely in the extreme.
Of the five VP picks considered most likely, Sen. Marco Rubio is the only one who has disclosed multiple tax returns.
The scolasticall squitter bookes clout you VP cannopies & footclothes of verses.
His smearing with honey, is to no purpose, for the other Bees will eate it VP.
For VP this riuer is a great deale the neerer way, and the easier to go to Peru.
Thou idst haue me be a dog: VP, stretch and shake, And ready for all day.
So she replied with calling him "knave," saying, "Wind it VP Byet, for it will light VPon yourself."

England are confident the testimony of Nottinghamshire staff will support their view that Jimmy Anderson should escape a ban from Test cricket.
Notts employees witnessed the altercation between Anderson and India all-rounder Ravi Jadeja in the corridor of the Trent Bridge pavilion before lunch last Thursday. India believe Anderson should be charged with a level-three offence, an extremely rare punishment in cricket that could lead to a maximum four-match ban.
Yet as the Second Investec Test began at Lord's today, England were amazed that an incident described by captain Alastair Cook as "a mountain out of a molehill" has left their best bowler facing suspension. Standard Sport understands that stewards in the corridor when Anderson and Jadeja clashed support Cook's view and will say so if requested by the England and Wales Cricket Board to give statements.
The India players who saw what happened are thought to have been Ravi Ashwin and Gautam Gambhir, neither of whom played at Trent Bridge.
The hearing could take place next Tuesday or Wednesday meaning that Anderson could miss the Third Test, which starts at Southampton a week on Sunday, if the International Cricket Council's judicial commissioner rules against him.
England believe Mahendra Singh Dhoni, the captain of India, is the driving force behind the attempt to ensure Anderson is punished. Dhoni was far more bullish than usual at his media conference yesterday and left those present in no doubt that he wishes to push the matter as far as it will go.
England are convinced that India are making as much of this as they can in order to remove Anderson, one of the home side's key players, for at least a part of the remainder of the series.
England's view is that India would be prepared to lose Jadeja, hardly a key member of their Test side, if it meant Anderson would be excluded. England responded last night by submitting their formal charge against Jadeja to the ICC, for a level-two offence.
Level Two is less severe than level three but Jadeja could still be banned for a Test if found to have transgressed in the manner England claim. To suggestions of dirty tricks, the tourists counter that they have a genuine grievance and that such a tactic would be untypical of them.
Three years ago at Trent Bridge, India legitimately ran out Ian Bell, who had ambled out of his ground after believing wrongly that he hit a ball for four, from the final delivery before tea. India had a change of heart during the interval and called Bell back — although Sachin Tendulkar, the man widely believed to have exerted the greatest influence on that U-turn, is no longer in the squad after retiring.
It will be intriguing to see what impact this incident has on relations between England and India at boardroom level. India are the most powerful country in world cricket and, following highly controversial reforms of the global governance of the game, now have far more influence than previously. This is also true of England and Australia, with those countries forming the so-called 'Big Three' of world cricket.
Standard Sport revealed yesterday that ECB chairman Giles Clarke had been in contact with Narayanaswami Srinivasan, the recently-elected chairman of the ICC, and Sundar Raman, a hugely important figure within the BCCI (Indian cricket board) to discuss this spat.
Memorable Test matches between England and India
Memorable Test matches between England and India
1/7 1971 - The Oval
For the first time ever, India won a Test match on English soil. Fans surged onto the pitch in celebration before the winning shot had even crossed the boundary.
2/7 1976 - Delhi
Captain Tony Greig masterminded England's first victory in India since the Second World War. It remains one of England's greatest performances against the Indians.
3/7 1980 - Mumbai
Ian Botham stole the show in a one-off Test in Mumbai, taking 6 for 58 and 7 for 48, as well as adding 114 with the bat.
4/7 1993 - Mumbai
After a strong first innings of the third Test of England's 1992-93 tour of India, The hosts hit back with force. Vinod Kambli's 224 went a long way to helping India claim the Test by an innings and 15 runs, completing a 3-0 series whitewash.
5/7 2007 - Trent Bridge
After staving off defeat in the first Test at Lord's on the final day, India turned up at Trent Bridge and produced one of their finest performances on English soil. Sachin Tendulkar top-scored with 91 as the tourists posted 481 to wrestle control of the match in their first innings. The Indians eventually won the Test by seven wickets on the final day. The result would prove decisive as India went on to win the three-match series.
6/7 2008 - Chennai
Tendulkar was again the hero as India successfully chased a monumental target to win by six wickets. The little master hit 103 not out as the hosts chalked up the 387 runs needed for victory. It remains the highest fourth-innings Test total ever recorded in Chennai and ranks among the highest successful fourth-innings chases ever.
7/7 2011 - Edgbaston
Alastair Cook hit 294 as England made 710 - 7 declared - their third-highest Test total ever. Big knocks from Andrew Strauss and Eoin Morgan also helped the cause after the hosts had bowled out the Indians for just 224. England eventually won by an innings and 242 runs before Tea on day four.
It is understood that both the BCCI and the ECB were keen for the Anderson-Jadeja row to be resolved long before it reached this stage but Dhoni has stood firm. This move will surely have a negative impact on player relations in this series — in the longer term, it will be fascinating to see how the key men of English and Indian cricket react.Reuse content

Erie agency earns accolades
Erie Insurance Group has recognized an Indiana agency for its business development.
Thomas M. Frick Insurance Agency, an independent agency and brokerage which primarily represents Erie, recently was presented with Erie's Triple Crown award. The sales award recognizes production of personal, commercial and life insurance policies.
The agency's principal, Thomas M. "T.J." Frick Jr., said it's the first time the agency has won the year-end award, which was for 2013 production.
Frick said the agency has seen growth in the three insurance lines the award represents, but growth in life insurance and commercial policies have been particularly strong.
In fact, he said the agency this year has achieved Erie's silver-level status for life insurance policy production, also a first for the agency. He said its first-quarter performance alone was enough to achieve the designation
The award follows other recent recognition from Erie, which presented the agency with its Founder's Award, recognition for profitably on its book of business
Frick said he credits his staff for the successes.
"It's a team effort," he said. "I'm really proud of everybody."
Frick acquired the business from his father, Thomas M. Frick, in 2012. The elder Frick opened the businesses as a scratch agent for Erie in 1966.
His son has been working to expand the agency since — he opened a second office in Homer City last year and has been putting a focus on commercial policies.
Aside from Erie, Frick Insurance also represents, among others, Progressive, Millville Mutual, White Pine and Foremost.
