"I love the LORD, because he hath heard my voice and my supplications. Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live." (Psalm 116:1-2)
Have you ever tried to talk to someone who isn't paying attention to you? You probably feel frustrated or discouraged if you think you aren't being heard. It is encouraging, though, for God's children to remember that God always hears them when they pray to Him. He is never too busy to listen to His children. And He is never uninterested in what they have to say. No matter what time of day it is or where you are, God always hears you.
Sometimes, though, God is the last person Christians go to when they're having troubles. Instead of going to God, they sulk. Or they go to their unsaved friends. Their friends may be good listeners, but they have no power to give true answers. Maybe God's children do go to a godly friend or parent with their problems. But the whole time, they may be resisting God, using Him as a "last resort" only.
Who is the person you go to when you are feeling sad, or when you have a need, or when you don't know how to handle a problem? Do you go to God first? Once you truly understand that the sovereign God is always available, always ready to hear your supplications (your strong requests), you will agree with the psalmist who wrote, "I will call upon Him as long as I live"!
God always hears His children when they call to Him.
My Response: » Do I go to God first with my problems, or do I use Him as a "last resort"?
"To love Christ more – this is the deepest need, the constant cry of my soul."
"How dreadfully old I am getting! Sixteen! Well, I don't see as I can help it." These words are the first lines in the popular book Stepping Heavenward, written by Elizabeth Payson Prentiss. Born a "pastor's kid" on January 15, 1815, Elizabeth was the youngest daughter of Edward Payson – a great revival preacher during the 1800s.
More than any other hobby, Elizabeth loved to write and found several opportunities to publish her work. She began writing for the press when she was just sixteen, for instance; and as an adult, she wrote the famous hymn "More Love to Thee, O Christ!" – which is still sung in churches today. Verse one of the hymn begins:
More love to Thee, O Christ, more love to Thee!
Hear Thou the prayer I make on bended knee.
This is my earnest plea: More love, O Christ, to Thee;
More love to Thee, more love to Thee!
Stepping Heavenward was published in 1869 as a work of fiction; but all of the events in the story actually came from Elizabeth's personal life. Elizabeth recognized that true joy is the result of living for Christ and loving others. By 1992, over 100,000 copies of the book had been sold, and countless more have been sold since then.
Samuel Rutherford was one of the preachers whom Elizabeth admired most. He once said, "Faint not; the miles to heaven are but few and short." No doubt his words influenced Elizabeth to title her book "Stepping Heavenward."
What are you doing to prepare for heaven and eternity? When was the last time you really stopped to think about your eternal life after this temporary life? Are you preparing for your first meeting with Jesus Christ?
Matthew 25:13 – "Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming."
King of Saints
Revelation 15:3 – "And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints."
Yes, belief followed by water baptism is the example of the New Testament. Acts 8:37a – And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest [be baptized].
Repentance is a sorrow for sin and a true desire to turn from sin and walk in obedience to Christ. Faith and repentance must come together. Repentance is an understanding that sin is wrong, realizing and accepting the teachings of the Bible regarding sin and making a personal decision to give up the sin. (Acts 2:38) Then Peter said unto them, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." (Acts 3:19) "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord."

FACE THE NATION: Identity Theft
From colonial-era archives to Disneyfied portrayals, the all-too-familiar image of Aboriginal peoples as "noble savages" reads like a legacy of stolen identities. It's a predicament with deep cultural implications, leaving First Nations communities and individuals with a double-edged challenge—to redefine themselves from within and without as integral parts of not only a larger historical narrative but also of a diverse, and increasingly urban, contemporary reality.
That ongoing search for a 21st-century Aboriginal identity is the focus of "FACE THE NATION," an exhibition of works by artists Jeff Thomas, KC Adams, Kent Monkman, Lori Blondeau, Terrance Houle, Adrian Stimson, Maria Hupfield and Dana Claxton, all of whom share First Nations backgrounds.
Works in this impressive and important show range across media to display a keen understanding of the critical power of ironic humour, imitation and parody. Saskatoon-based artists Lori Blondeau and Adrian Stimson reprise their exotic performance personas "Belle Sauvage" and "Buffalo Boy" with a set of staged portraits that re-distribute the power dynamic of 19th-century studio photography. Toronto painter and performance artist Kent Monkman's drag queen alter-ego, "Miss Chief Eagle Testickle," features in a new black and white film work which offers a flamboyant counter-narrative to silent-film depictions of cowboys and Indians. This double-take strategy of "disguised" identity takes a contemporary turn in Calgary artist Terrance Houle's Urban Indian Series of photos featuring him grocery shopping, riding the bus, taking a bath, among other a-day-in-the-life activities, dressed in full powwow dancer regalia.
Portraits of contemporary powwow dancers by Ottawa photographer Jeff Thomas make a pointed contrast to the contentious yet widely accepted historical record of Edward Curtis and other early-20th century frontier ethnographers. Similarly, selections from Winnipeg artist KC Adams's ongoing Cyborg Hybrid portrait series present a digitally modified take on modern perceptions of racial identity. That complex perspective on cultural individuality is continued in Vancouver artist Maria Hupfield's Counterpoint photos depicting two (seemingly) identical women bound in a metaphorical balancing act that could be seen as either a locked struggle or desperate grasp for support. In a new photo series titled The Mustang Suite, Vancouver-based artist Dana Claxton matches the slickly seductive imagery of advertising with nostalgia-tinged family portraiture to give critical perspective on the troublingly persistent commodification and, in turn, general misconception of Aboriginal culture and identity.

PHILADELPHIA – For the first time in program history, the University of Pennsylvania women's tennis team will face Akron. The Quakers will host the Zips on Friday afternoon at 3 p.m. inside the Levy Tennis Pavilion.
Penn (0-2) is looking for its first win of the spring season, after dropping opening matches to Old Dominion (4-3) and Maryland (4-2). The Red and Blue have also had one match against Drexel postponed to a later date this spring.
Akron (6-0) is off to a fast start having beaten Robert Morris, West Virginia, Dayton, Wright State, Cleveland State and the University of Illinois-Chicago (UIC). The closest matches for the Zips have been against West Virginia and UIC, winning both, 4-3. In all other matches, Akron has only surrendered one point to its opponent.
Penn's top players have performed well, with junior Sol Eskenazi and freshman Kana Daniel both winning their first two singles matches of the spring. The duo has also played well together in doubles competition.
Once injuries begin to heal, the Quakers should start to see a strengthened lineup behind their top players.

Police stop plot to kill Asturias vice mayor-A A +A
Saturday, February 1, 2014
AN ASSASSINATION plot against Vice Mayor Joel Dumdum of Asturias, Cebu was foiled by the police Thursday afternoon with the arrest of one of the suspected hired guns.
Operatives of the Provincial Intelligence Branch (PIB) and the Anti-Kidnapping Group (AKG) Visayas Field Office were conducting a patrol at 1:30 p.m. when they encountered Jonathan Rubi in Barangay Nangka, Balamban.
Senior Supt. Noel Gillamac, director of Cebu Provincial Police Office (CPPO), said is the alleged leader of a crime group and is one of the top ten most wanted persons in Cebu Province.
Rubi allegedly took out his gun before the patrol team could get close so the police operatives fired at him. Rubi got hit in the thigh.
When questioned by the police, Rubi said his companion, Edgar Escalante, was waiting for him in Barangay Poblacion in the neighboring town of Asturias.
The police sent a team to Asturias, where a shootout ensued between law enforcers and Escalante. Escalante was hit in abdomen and was brought to the Balamban District Hospital, but he died before receiving treatment.
The police seized from the two men a .45 KG45 submachine pistol with 35 live bullets; 9mm KG9 submachine pistol with 32 live bullets; .45 Para Ordinance pistol with seven live bullets; and a .45 Colt MKIV pistol with five live bullets.
Supt. Rodolfo Albotra, head of PIB, said during a press conference that the text messages on the mobile phones of the suspects referred to the assassination plot against Dumdum.
Three persons, including a woman, were picked up by the police yesterday and
questioned about the assassination plot.
Gillamac said Dumdum, a cousin of Regional Trial Court (RTC) Judge Simeon Dumdum Jr., has been getting death threats after winning a third-term in the May 2013 elections.
The assassination group, Albotra said, planned to ambush Dumdum outside his house.
He said they have been monitoring Rubi, a native of Davao Del Norte, since he arrived in Cebu.
Rubi was linked to several shooting incidents in Danao City and allegedly maintains ties with criminal groups in Balamban. He has a pending arrest warrant for murder
issued by RTC Branch 25 Assisting Judge Sylvia Aguirre Paderanga on July 18, 2011.
Rubi reportedly transferred to Cebu when he was tagged as a suspect in a killing in Tagum City, Davao Del Norte.
Escalante was a native of Danao City and reportedly worked as a job-order at the Danao City Hall, Albotra said.
In August 2013, Escalante was arrested for illegal possession of drugs but was released after posting bail.
Gillamac said in an interview that the CPPO provided security personnel to Vice Mayor Dumdum.
He said the police will investigate further to determine the mastermind of the assassination plot.
Dumdum believed that politics is behind the plan to assassinate him.
The vice mayor ran unopposed in the May 2013 elections. When he filed his certificate of candidacy he was still a member of the One Cebu party.
He said he joined the Liberal Party shortly before the elections.

No Objection Letter for Recycled Plastics #69
Return to inventory: Submissions on Post-Consumer Recycled (PCR) Plastics for Food-Contact Articles
See also Recycled Plastics in Food Packaging
August 28, 2001
David Schneider
Evergreen Partnering Group Incorporated
34 Westward Circle
North Reading, MA 01864
Dear Mr. Schneider:
This responds to your inquiry of June 21, 2001 requesting a letter of "non-objection" (NOL) for the use of recycled polystyrene resin in the manufacture of food-contact articles. Your letter refers to a number of telephone conversations with Dr. Edward Machuga of the FDA in which you stated that the recycling process described in your submission, with the exception of some minor changes, has already been evaluated by FDA, and that an NOL on the process was issued to Nova Chemical Incorporated (formerly Novacor Chemical Incorporated) on June 30, 1993. You also indicate that Evergreen Partnering Group has obtained a license from Nova Chemical to use their recycling process to manufacture post-consumer recycled (PCR) polystyrene resin destined for food-contact applications. Your company would now also like an NOL for the use of your recycled polystyrene resin for essentially the same conditions of use that were permitted in Nova's earlier letter.
We previously concluded in our letter to Nova dated June 30, 1993, that post-consumer recycled (PCR) polystyrene resin produced by their company's process would be acceptable for use in making trays, plates, cutlery, cups, containers, and lids for use in fast-food and similar restaurants provided that the PCR resin was previously used for food-contact applications and there is strict source control. We understand that Evergreen Partnering Group's recycling process will also represent strict source control in that only food-contact articles manufactured with polystyrene and used by cafeterias in institutions such as colleges, schools, hospitals, and jails will be used to manufacture the PCR polystyrene resin. We understand that these sources will not only supply the feedstock but will also re-purchase the food-contact articles made from the PCR polystyrene resins, thus creating a safe, closed loop system. As was the case with Nova's recycling process, Evergreen Partnering Group's process will involve blending the PCR polystyrene resin with virgin polystyrene complying with 21 CFR 177.1640 Polystyrene and rubber-modified polystyrene before being used to manufacture food-contact articles.
We have no reason, at this time, to change the opinion expressed in our June 30, 1993, letter to Nova Chemical and do not regard the changes you have made to their process as ones that would result in a significantly different process. Therefore, the PCR polystyrene resin that is collected, sorted and processed in the manner described in your letter of June 21, 2001, is suitable for the uses described above.
If you have any further questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely yours,
Edward Machuga, Ph.D.
Division of Food Contact Substance Notification Review, HFS-215
Center for Food Safety and Applied Nutrition

In looking for references to my Great Grandfather, I discovered, through

he is buried. My Great Grandmother paid for 2 plots @ $15 each in 1930.
The cemetery says that anyone in the family can use it.
Has anyone else come up with something odd like this?

THERE is only one thing better than being custom-made for Origin; that's being custom-made for an Origin contest which has been custom-made for you. In picking the side that he wants, NSW coach Ricky Stuart has also offered a similar licence to his players, handing them the game plan that they want against Queensland on Wednesday night.
''A lot of the boys have been real happy with having a lot of input,'' NSW back-rower Greg Bird said. ''There's a lot of player input. He's put a lot of responsibility on the players to put to the team what they want - what they want to get out of it.
''He's told the players, and structured our game plan … around how the players want to play. 'Stick' [Stuart] is like that. He'll give you a basic game plan and try to get the best from each player, get him to bring what he's best at, what he can do for the team.''
Stuart has made no secret of the fact he has got his team, which brings added pressures of its own, the most obvious being he doesn't have a selection panel to help soften the fall. He has afforded himself a team which will play the game as he likes it; his way, yet also their way.
''I think it's important,'' Bird said. ''When you're together for a week, you don't need to over-analyse things. You've got the best 17 or 18 players from NSW.
''You've just got to get out there and let them play. Blokes like Mitchell Pearce and 'Sowie' [Jamie Soward], they're perfect exponents of that. It's natural talent.''
And in others, natural passion. Bird knows what Stuart is like as a coach, having played under him for Cronulla. ''He's a passionate man,'' he said. ''He loves winning, he hates losing.''
Bird is very much the same. Some players are suited to Origin because it is the best of the best, while some, like Bird, like it because it is the best of the bash. Bird has long been carved out of the same stuff that makes Origin so gripping as a contest.
''State of Origin, it's a whole different kettle of fish, everyone knows,'' Bird said. ''The referees don't blow as many penalties. It's more talking on the run. It's the way it used to be. You can go out there and live and die by the sword.''
Bird certainly will be. ''I'd like to think so,'' he said. ''I don't die wondering.''
We have always known this, though. What has changed for Bird is the fact that, as a 27-year-old with Origin and Test experience, he considers himself a leader now.
''We've got a great captain [Paul Gallen] and I feel like I'm just behind him,'' Bird said. ''I enjoy being able to go out and give everything, give absolutely everything you can physically put into a game of football, with no reservations.
''I think that's what Origin's about. At club level, you're bound by your game plan, and you've got a game next week, and you're with the same sort of team, so you have that expectation of other players. You know what they're going to bring. In State of Origin … you see a different side of players.''
And different players. While many have mused how poor the quality of the NSW side is based on the calibre of players who missed out, Bird is looking at it the other way. He can see how good the side is based on who will be watching from home.
''You see the blokes that missed out,'' Bird said. ''I honestly think Jarryd Hayne is one of the best players in NSW, if not the best. He's missed out. Anyone can play and anyone can miss out. It does make you cherish the jersey a bit more, knowing you're no certainty to be there the next game and you have to make sure you're pulling your load, doing your best for the team. We need to stand up for our state, bring it back home and give it everything we've got.''

Your bones don't break, mine do. That's clear.
Head coach Mike Nolan believes he'll be back and will not require surgery. Of course this is Mr. Glass we are talking about, so look for him to at least miss half the season.
#1 i hope you were making fun of my comment. i guess i should say how does he sleep during the day (while recouping) on "pay day"
to top it off he got flagged last week for a couple of false starts.. normally i would give in to crowd noise being the factor but this ass wipe is on a short leash in my book.
he is filling in the gap left from Kwame Harris. another worthless false starting fuck face. Damn where the hell is Jesse Sapolo or Harris Barton when you need them?
he needs to be cut after this year… along with alex smith, mark roman, tully banta cain, abrayo franklin….. that will give us plenty of money to make out team better in FA…
how the hell does this guy sleep at night on payday?
This guy is a 330 pound pussy.It's time for him to go.I'm sick and tired of this fucking coward.I dislocated my shoulder at a football game last year and didn't miss a days work.I sprained my ankle at a charity event I threw last year and didn't miss a second of work.This guy stubs his toe and he's put on injured reserve.Goodbye Mr.Glass
Actually Mr.Glass sounds way to strong for his nickname.
Gee-ray hit the nail on the head; how does Jennings sleep at night on payday – LOL
Does anybody know his contract status?
Then maybe we can sign some one else this free agency thats not a pussy
I believe we signed him to a 7 year deal in 2005.
I knew this article was coming LOL Pundit.

Re "Park City ski resorts among the greenest around," (Tribune, Feb. 11):
We at Save our Canyons agree with Solitude General Manager David DeSeelhorst that the SkiLink resort interconnect is not "bona fide," and we're delighted to see that Solitude may be distancing itself from the proposal. However, the California-based Ski Area Citizens' Coalition appropriately docked Solitude for its involvement in this debacle.
Save Our Canyons can't support SACC's generally glowing scorecard of area resorts, since its grades ignored many of the projects and proposals currently facing the central Wasatch Mountains. For instance:
• Canyons Resort's involvement in SkiLink, bypassing the public and opposing wilderness legislation, makes it not even remotely deserving of an A grade.
• Snowbird resort was falsely penalized for opposing wilderness legislation, yet no deductions were given for its roller coaster proposal, seven-lot subdivision on Mt. Superior or the 30,000 square-foot structure being built on Hidden Peak.
• Alta is seeking a master development plan revision and significant expansion of the resort boundary to include areas like Flagstaff Mountain and Grizzly Gulch.
Tribune, do your journalistic due diligence in researching and investigating, else you will just become another echo chamber for misinformation.

Quentin Tarantino series features Pam Grier, as well as Jackie Brown and Reservoir Dogs
Pam Grier as Jackie Brown.
Young people love Quentin Tarantino. A lot of older people do, too, but there is something so electrifying about being twenty years old and hearing Samuel L. Jackson shout the word "Motherfucker!"
The witty dialogue, the unexpected plot turns ("Spider caught himself a coupla flies"), the pop-culture references you'd never heard before but started researching once the film was over: The first five Quentin Tarantino films remain as galvanizing for impressionable students today as when they were first released.
And so the University of Colorado's International Film Series is bringing these iconic films to a new generation with the Quentin Tarantino Film Series, which starts on Wednesday, February 15. The one that started it all, Reservoir Dogs, will kick off the festival with screenings at 7 and 9 p.m. Wednesday, February 15. "Tarantino's passion for cinema remains fun, infectious and controversial," says IFS director Pablo Kjolseth. "Some of the over-the-top stuff has a way of alienating older viewers, but obviously younger audiences have always gravitated toward the hyperkinetic stuff."
Beyond the fact that students will always come out in droves for a Tarantino film, the series was inspired by the Boulder campus being selected as a stop on the Miramax College Tour, in which guests are treated to a special screening of the cult favorite Jackie Brown -- with the film's star, Pam Grier (a hometown heroine who went to East High and now lives outside of Denver), and Tommy Moreno, head of operations for Miramax, hosting a special Q&A after the film.

"I thought it would be fun to surround that particular screening with other Tarantino films in chronological order," says Kjolseth. "For me, Jackie Brown is Tarantino's masterpiece -- and I'm not just saying this because Pam Grier is our special guest. Tarantino knew it would be a mistake to try to one-up Pulp Fiction, so instead he went for a low-key approach that feels much more mature and satisfying to me."
The films will play nightly in chronological order. Reservoir Dogs will be followed by Tarantino's most celebrated film, Pulp Fiction, at 7 p.m. on Friday, February 17 (there will be no Tarantino film on February 16). Jackie Brown screens at 7 p.m. Saturday, February 18, with the special-guest Q&A to follow. And the series will close on Sunday, February 19, with the two-part Kill Bill series: Volume One will show at 2 p.m. and Volume Two at 7 p.m.
"All of the Tarantino titles except for Reservoir Dogs are on beautiful 35mm prints," Kjolseth proudly adds. "We have a monkish devotion to cinema and like to boast of being a quiet place to enjoy films. So we don't serve any drinks or snacks -- which, we like to point out, means that we're the only place in Boulder where you can see big-screen films without the distraction of hearing people chomping, slurping or otherwise wrestling with their food packaging."
All films will be shown in Muenzinger Auditorium; each Tarantino screening is free to students (the usual fee is $6) and $7 for everyone else. The Quentin Tarantino Film Series is presented in association with the Boulder International Film Festival, which begins on February 16 and continues through February 19.

Thousand Voices - Poem by Morakinyo Temiloluwa Bolarinwa
Oju merin loun bimo, Igba Oju lon wo dagba, a thousand palms clapping the baby's name, a thousand voices singing the lullaby, a thousand eyes watching the growth, a thousand smiles, a thousand tears,
The baby grows into the man, a thousand steps, a thousand thought, a thousand persons cross his path, a thousand lessons, thousand experiences, thousand aim, thousand goals, a thousand feelings to shape his views, a thousands principles but one he'd choose.
Beru ba joba....., the man get to the seat of power, a thousand lies, a thousand deceits, an unending mockery of our morals, a thousand thorns, thousand shrapnel, a thousand pains inflicted on his people, a thousand sacrificed in his pursuit of power, a thousand murdered, thousand jailed.
Odo to gbagbe orisun, the people's cry in agony, a thousand screams, thousand sorrows, a thousand palms dusted in wondering his madness, a thousand voices raining him curse, a thousand fasts, thousand prays, frustrated by their own brother, unwilling and tired of his rein.
Ojuboro o se gbomo lowo ekuro, the people revolt.

Volkswagen Scares Home Its Message About Texting and Driving
Volkswagen came up with a pretty brilliant way to get people to stop texting and driving. They played a new ad before the previews at a movie theater in Hong Kong recently. Even if this is staged, it still makes quite the impact.

At all events, there are villages in that country in which the people speak the same language as in Hameln.
After travelling for some hours, we arrived at Hameln camp, where we were to stay the night.
But the King of Sweden's coalition produced no other result than the siege of the little fortress of Hameln.
The older name of Hameln was Hameloa or Hamelowe, and the town owes its origin to an abbey.
But, Hameln is not a large town, and was most likely even less populous six hundred years ago than it is at the present day.
Then the inhabitants of Hameln rejoiced greatly, as after a victory over a powerful enemy.
Our force with the Russians (exclusive of the Swedes and after allowing for something to watch Hameln) will be near 40,000 men.
Presently, all the little children of Hameln came running out of the houses and followed him.
The town of Hameln was infested with rats, which swarmed everywhere and drove the people mad.

Pepper power!

I have shared my feelings reguarding medications for use in the home aquarium several times in the past. There always seems to be a steady flow of posts regarding ick and how to cure it. Thankfully, it has been several years since I have had to treat (knock wood) fish myself. That's not bravado on my part because ick can be introduced by fish, food, and even tapwater. Just lucky. If I had a fish with ick I would be treating with salt and higher temperatures. That is until today..... I want to share some information on an alternate treatment. The thing I like about this is that it's somewhat more natural then most medications on the market and it has a proven effectiveness on freshwater and saltwater. As if all that weren't enough....It's safe for plants, the biological filter bed and scaless fish!
Let me get a few things off my chest first :) Feel free to argue any of these points with me and I'll direct you to at least one source of information where you can read it for yourself. 1) Malachite Green is a carcinogen. (I am not sure if the FDA used fish or animal for the study but why take chances.) Enough reason for me not to use it. 2)Malachite green made from zinc-free oxalate salt combined with formalin still contains Malachite Green. Both of these chemicals affect the respiratory system in a negative way, and aeration must be increased to compensate. 3)While copper sulfate has many benefits, treating ick isn't one of them imho. Regardless of this it is an active ingredient in some cures. Copper is sometimes combined with Formalin. The bad thing about copper is unless it is stabilized with citrate to keep it ionized as a solution it remains in the aquarium. Uncitrated copper will cause copper toxicity and at the very least (because it must be maintained at a high dose for a long period of time to be an effective cure against ick) can lead to permanent liver dammage. Yes, copper is a poison and the trick is to maintain a dosage that will cause the ick to slough off and kill the spores but not kill the fish in the process. For a cure that is around 50% effective it is not worth the risk. 4)Formalin by itself is less effective then the treatments I'm about to describe. In most cases Formalin is combined with one of the aforementioned drugs. ....on to the new stuff!
And now for something exciting. If you have been following the science of fish health you may already know that several companies have been researching alternative treatments to one of the most common diseases an aquarist can encounter. The cat is out of the bag and those medications have now become available to us. There are two products out that facilitate the use of the hot pepper in the cure for ick. The pepper causes the fish to overslime and the cysts slough off the host. Irritating the fish to overslime sounds better than messing with breathing dosen't it? Kent Marine RxP (there is also a freshwater version) uses a natural plant extract to expoled the ick cysts to prevent it from reinfecting the host. Chem-Marin's Stop Parasites includes a false host that is more desirable then the fish to prevent it from reinfection. There are accounts of people buying infected fish and adding it to the bag. They watch as the ick fell off! Eight years to develop and one hour to erradicate all free floating ick. Amazing! I haven't had a use for it yet but I almost want to buy some infected fish and try the experiment myself. Maybe those poor zebra loaches I saw last week:( Heck, because the products are all natural I could even use them as a seasoning the next time I cook. ...forget I said that. I thought I would just let eveyone know there is now another alternative out there, and from all accounts it sounds like a fantastic idea. If you have used one please let the fourm know.

Washington • U.S. factories increased output in November for the fourth straight month, led by a surge in auto production. The gains show manufacturing is strengthening and could help boost economic growth at the end of the year.
Factory production rose 0.6 percent in November after a 0.5 percent gain in October, the Federal Reserve said Monday.
Production of motor vehicles and parts increased 3.4 percent, rebounding from a 1.3 percent decline in October. Factories also stepped up production of home electronics and chemical products.
Industrial production, which includes manufacturing, mining and utilities, rose 1.1 percent in November. It was the fourth straight gain.

Strasbourg (AFP) Oct 20, 2010
The European Commission may substantially slash its fishing quota for bluefin tuna next year to ensure the long-term sustainability of the endangered fish, a spokesman said Wednesday.
The European Union's executive arm is working on proposals for the next meeting of International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) between November 17 and 27 in Paris, spokesman Oliver Drewes told AFP.
The proposals will be based on science, he said.
During a meeting with European parliament lawmakers in Strasbourg, European fisheries commissioner Maria Damanaki said "a substantial reduction" of catches "would be the way to go, to ensure a good possibility of having a viable stock until 2020 and a long-term sustainability of it," the spokesman said.
Environmental group WWF welcomed the commissioner's announcement and urged Brussels to make it a centerpiece of the European's position at the ICCAT meeting.
Scientists believe the size of the stock of bluefin tuna is only one-third of sustainable levels, WWF said.
WWF has called for a quota of less than 6,000 tonnes per year. The total allowable catches for 2010 was 13,500 tonnes.

Home was built in a day
Jack Ronald
, Publisher
Friday, September 17, 2010 9:02 AM
This home at 509 E. Arch St., Portland, was one of the city's first pre-fabricated homes. It was put up in a single-day 60 years ago this summer. (The Commercial Review/Jack Ronald)
What a difference a day can make.
It was a steamy Thursday in August 1950.
About 7:30 a.m. workmen unloaded stacks of material around a concrete slab.
By 11 a.m., four walls were up.
And by 5 p.m., Mr. and Mrs. Alva Hoppes were accepting the key to their new home.
Erected in a single day 60 years ago last month, the little house at 509 E. Arch St. was one of Portland's first pre-fabricated homes, a Gunnison home, the brainchild of a man who wanted to do for the American home what Henry Ford did for the automobile industry.
Foster Gunnison, a lighting engineer was one of the country's pioneers in low-cost, quick-build housing in the post-World War II era. He established a plant in New Albany, Ind., in 1935.
But it wasn't until the housing boom after the war — fueled by Federal Housing Administration loans and special rates for returning G.I.s — that the Gunnison houses really took off.
By 1950, the company was marketing 11 different models, ranging from Cape Cods to ranch-style ramblers.
Billed as "Guaranteed homes at guaranteed prices," the houses ranged in price from $5,800 to $40,000.
Mr. and Mrs. Hoppes chose model number two, one of the Champion line.
Hoppes was a local insurance agent, and his wife was executive secretary of the Jay County Chapter of the American Red Cross. Their East Arch Street lot was located just across the street from what was then the Coca-Cola Bottling Plant, now the Museum of the Soldier.
It featured a living room that measured 17-feet 8-inches by 11-feet 10-inches, two bedrooms, a bathroom with a linen closet, a kitchen measuring 7-feet 11-inches by 11-feet 10-inches, and a utility room.
"Gunnison homes are built on the stressed-skin plywood principle," an article in The Graphic said at the time the house was erected. "Panels for the exterior and interior walls are prefabricated as are other sections of each house."
Technology introduced by Gunnison was state of the art for its era.
Fortune magazine said at the time, "The phenolic plywood is the strongest and most rigid material in the world. It is waterproof, more indifferent than metals to heat and cold, resistant to fire and corrosion and attack by bacteria. It has an unbeatable relationship of weight, strength, and rigidity."
When Foster Gunnison died in 1961, The New York Times called his product, "the first commercially successful mass-produced home in the United States."
The homes were also written up in Popular Mechanics, Ladies Home Journal, Architecture Forum, and Readers' Digest.
Community Builders of Decatur erected the Hoppes' Gunnison on Arch Street.
Portland Ready-Mix poured the concrete slab under the direction of Meredith Sanders. Portland Lumber and Supply Company provided additional building materials, and Louis Stephen of Redkey did the plumbing work.
Today, the house is home to Donna Strait and her daughter Paige.
Its porch has been revised over the years, and an addition including a garage has been built on the south end. A large shade tree in the front yard didn't even exist when photos were taken of the home's construction back in 1950.
Two weeks after the house went up, an open house was held.
And that created problems for Mrs. Hoppes.
She told The Graphic: "After such carefully planned motions of each worker, I must hurry and make the most of my time completing the drapes and curtains."

Liberty Holds Off Feisty Presbyterian Squad
Liberty, now 9-7 overall, remains one of two unbeaten teams in Big South Conference action at 3-0. High Point, idle on Saturday, is 4-0 in conference play. Megan Frazee paced the Lady Flames' balanced scoring attack with 14 points and shared the team lead with five boards.
Presbyterian, which dressed only eight players, all of whom stand under 6-0 tall, dropped its ninth contest in a row. Even though Amanda Mills tossed in 16 of her game-high 21 points after halftime, the Blue Hose fall to 2-12 overall. Presbyterian is still seeking its first-ever Big South win, as its Big South record stands at 0-3.
Presbyterian did not make its first field goal of the game until 11:37 showed on the first-half clock. The contest-opening drought by the Blue Hose enabled Liberty to build an early 11-4 advantage.
Liberty's lead reached double digits for the first time at the 10:43 mark, when Moriah Frazee drilled a three-pointer from the top of the key to make it 16-6, Liberty. Frazee's triple closed out an 11-2 Lady Flame run.
Liberty did not score again for nearly six minutes, but Presbyterian was only able to trim six points off its deficit during the interim, narrowing the gap to 16-12 on a pair of treys.
The Lady Flames quickly doubled its lead to 20-12 at 3:27, on a left-handed hook shot by Kylee Beecher and a second-chance bank shot by Rebecca Lightfoot.
Homestanding Presbyterian then closed the opening half on a 7-0 surge. A Katlin Moore three-pointer with 15 seconds remaining wrapped up the run, sending the Blue Hose into the locker room with just a one-point deficit, 20-19.
Liberty owned a sizable first-half rebounding edge, 20-6, and shot 38.1 percent (8-of-21) from the field, as compared with 27.8 percent (5-of-18) for its host. However, the Lady Flames committed 13 first-half turnovers and Presbyterian stayed close by sinking six of its seven charity tosses.
Moriah Frazee paced the Lady Flames with seven first-half markers, while sister Megan Frazee tallied four points, five boards and two assists before the break.
Moore led all players by totaling 10 points in the opening half, including a pair of three-pointers. Chelsea Wright grabbed half (three) of her team's rebounds during the first 20 minutes of action.
Taking advantage of a loose zone defense by Presbyterian, Liberty connected on three triples during a 15-2 burst to open the second half, with Rachel Hammond hitting two of the three-pointers. Amber Mays' steal and resulting fast break layup at 14:42 finished off the half-opening run, giving Liberty a 35-21 edge.
Mills tossed in seven points during a 10-2 run by the Blue Hose, which ended with a Moore free throw at the 9:53 mark. Moore's point brought her team to within 39-33.
A quick 5-0 Liberty spurt, capped by Megan Frazee's second three-pointer, rebuilt a double-digit lead for the Lady Flames, 46-35, with 7:21 left.
Presbyterian closed its deficit to single digits once again, when Mills connected on a triple with 5:01 remaining. Her long-distance connection made the score 48-41, Liberty.
Hammond answered Mills' trey with one of her own on the Lady Flames' next possession, initiating a 7-0 Liberty surge. Beecher's putback at 3:10 lifted the Lady Flames' edge to 55-41, and the Blue Hose got no closer than eight points for the remainder of the contest.
Rachel McLeod hit all four of her foul shots in the final 36 seconds, helping Liberty wrap up a 59-49 victory in its first-ever visit to Templeton Arena. The decision helped Lady Flames head coach Carey Green improve to 29-2 all-time in games played within the state of South Carolina.
Although the final score was relatively tight, Liberty posted some solid statistics for the game. The Lady Flames finished with 46.7 percent (21-of-45) field goal accuracy, including seven three-pointers. Liberty also shot 90.9 percent from the charity stripe, misfiring on only one of its 11 attempts.
Meanwhile, Presbyterian connected on only 12 of 39 field goals, hitting at a 30.8 percent rate. Liberty has now held all six opponents to below 40 percent from the field during its current winning streak.
Moriah Frazee joined her sister in double figures with 11 markers, leaving the senior just eight points shy of 1,000 for her career. Starting guards Hammond and Mays chipped in nine points apiece. All nine of Hammond's points came on a trio of second-half three pointers, and Mays added a game-high four assists and a pair of steals.
Moore, who played all 40 minutes, also reached double figures for Presbyterian. She finished with 16 points and three assists. The Blue Hose used their short bench sparingly, as coach Ronny Fisher's reserves played a total of 17 minutes and scored only two points.
Liberty will conclude its two-game road swing Monday at 7 p.m., when the Lady Flames visit UNC Asheville (7-11, 4-1 BSC) for a battle between two of the conference's top teams. Liberty will be returning to the Justice Center for the first time since its dramatic, last-second victory over Radford in the 2008 Big South Championship title game.
Meanwhile, Presbyterian will remain at home for a Monday evening conference matchup against Radford (3-12, 2-2 BSC). The Blue Hose will seek their initial Big South triumph, with tip-off slated for 7 p.m. at Templeton Arena.

Whoever decided that reinvention was the best thing to do was pure genius. You can't get past Karl Lagerfeld's remarkable conquest at Chanel. Or Opening Ceremony's latest gig taking on the legacy known as Kenzo. Breathing new life into a brand or garment is an innovator at his or her best. That being said, denim is never out of season.
The original denim creation was a pair of Levi jeans and now it has been transformed into denim jackets, shorts, flares, overalls, ripped denim, shirts and skirts. And with time and new technologies, the denim has been available in various colours of the rainbow, eccentric prints and faux styles such as jeggings! Denim combines so many qualities, no wonder everyone loves them. They are comfortable, practical and stylish at the same time. An ultimate classic.
If you are considering on wearing denim to campus, there are so many wonderful ways you can pull it off. Skinny jeans, a basic white top, boots and a scarf to accessorise will never be wrong. The floral skirt and denim jacket creates a pretty yet tough and edgy appeal. The lace top with denim shorts dreams up festival fun. And even though double denim is a no-no in some parts of the fashion world, consider pairing up a light denim shirt with a pair of darker denim jeans, shorts or a skirt. Or you can also follow suit like this Fashionista and pair a denim skirt and cute graphic top with clogs so you're ready to go. The classic has never looked so good.

X-ray computed tomography
Michael, Gregory (2001) X-ray computed tomography. Physics Education, 36(6), pp. 442-451.
|Accepted Version (PDF 650kB)
X-ray computed tomography (CT) is a medical imaging technique that produces images of trans-axial planes through the human body. When compared with a conventional radiograph, which is an image of many planes superimposed on each other, a CT image exhibits significantly improved contrast although this is at the expense of reduced spatial resolution.-----
A CT image is reconstructed mathematically from a large number of one dimensional projections of the chosen plane. These projections are acquired electronically using a linear array of solid-state detectors and an x ray source that rotates around the patient.-----
X-ray computed tomography is used routinely in radiological examinations. It has also be found to be useful in special applications such as radiotherapy treatment planning and three-dimensional imaging for surgical planning.

Ripoff Report

Snap-On Too Much Money Rip Off Over Charge Kenosha Wisconsin
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Snap-On is a company that is welcomed on to our farms and into our business everywhere in North America. They claim that they have competitive prices and quality to all retailers with claims doing business with them is an opportunity because they have the item right to your door at better prices
The only thing they really offer is they are right at your door. If you compare their prices and quality to retailers they are higher in most cases most cases much higher
I have purchased many items from them in the past and recently I was educated. Their prices are ridiculous in comparison to other opportunities that are out there Companies that provide f.o.b to your door prices equal quality service for far less
Before you spend your hard earned money with this company give some thought to what it is actually costing you to have it delivered.
I asked my snap on representative why that very day I purchased 5 items from another company for less money than he was quoting me for just one, He claimed "oh that is junk it is from China good luck getting warranty" I told him everything is made in China including a lot of what he has on his truck. I have had that equipment that I purchased from one of his competitors for well over a year. I had a service issue on one of pieces that the company backed there claimed warranty, I have had that merchandise for well over a year and it stills performs like new. By the way there Snap-On's competitors don't recruit your family or employees to work for them either

The benefits of diversification are never far from investor's minds, but
The bank, which was expected to price three-year sterling-denominated bonds overnight, had registered a medium-term retail note program with the Securities and Exchange Commission in March this year, and could look to tap investors within the next few weeks.
In Australia, retail investors last year welcomed a $570 million bond issue from the
Westpac, which has also tapped Japanese retail investors, was touted to follow CBA with a retail issue for local investors last year. But the bank seems to have been lured to the deeper US bond market, which may disappoint those hoping for another domestic retail issue.
The US market is the deepest and most liquid debt capital market in the world, however the global financial crisis (GFC) demonstrated access to offshore money could be volatile.
Australia's growing pool of funds, in an ageing population environment, could be a valuable funding alternative for companies and financial institutions.
The nation's superannuation pool is the fourth largest globally with around $1.4 trillion in assets, however allocations to fixed income securities have historically hovered at around 12 per cent, which is lower than pension funds in other developed markets.
This relatively low allocation to bonds partly explains why the retail bond market has failed to develop into a sophisticated market.
But severe losses in shares in the GFC showed that local investors had too much exposure to the riskier asset class and now want to increase their bond holdings.
Federal Treasury and the corporate regulator moved to ease the burden on companies willing to issue retail bonds locally. Their efforts, including a relief regime that reduced the documentation needed to sell listed bonds provided certain criteria were met, have not been enough to attract issuers.
A developed local retail bond market would provide Australian companies with an alternative source of debt financing. Although slowing credit growth has reduced the demand for funding by banks, access to broader funding sources could help minimise financing risk.
Banks and non-financial companies offering bonds locally could encourage domestic investors to reduce exposure to riskier asset classes such as equities and move into safer assets such as Australian corporate bonds.
Such a market would also help to reduce the major banks' reliance on overseas wholesale funding.
However, the prospects of a deep and liquid wholesale and retail domestic bond market will hinge on whether large super funds will move away from their traditionally large exposure to equities.
An OECD study of global pension funds showed that up to 60 per cent of our retirement savings were invested in the sharemarkets. It showed Australia had the highest risk appetite of the 27 OECD countries, with its allocation to equities 10 per cent higher than UK and US funds.
Yesterday, Reserve Bank of Australia deputy governor
Mr Battellino said that the banking system was moving through a period of slower growth, but credit growth would pick up again.

Napco Smoking Sailor Figurine with "Puffy Cigarettes"
This was my Granny's, passed down to my Mom, and then to me. This little guy is imported from Japan by Napco, and I haven't been able to find anything like him (by Napco).
As you can see in the photo below, I have the "Puffy Cigarettes", 7 of them, and two of the original packages. The packaging is in rough condition, but the cigarettes themselves are in perfect condition, ready for use.
I know that the figurine isn't worth a great deal, but I haven't been able to find these cigarettes anywhere and it doesn't look like many others have either.
Email if you have any pointers, offers, etc.

Welcome to Railfan Rails
Within these pages is a simple representation of some of the railfan activities that I pursue to keep me busy and sometimes out of trouble.
Like most railfans, photography is a highly visible part of their participation in the hobby and this holds true at RailfanRails.com. Photography is represented with select images from the past 30 years and is primary presented as historical records and not as works of art.
Over the last 5 years or so Google has opened a whole new area for most railfans, virtual railfaning. Over the past couple of years I have created a number of interactive maps using this new technology. The Virtual Railfaning section provides links to these maps for those who want to sit back in there chair and do some virtual railfaning.
Seems everyone has a blog or Facebook or Myspace page so why be the exception. RailfanRails Blog is my attempt at a blog and is updated almost weekly.
Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to bookmark the site if you like what you see.

Many of you, especially around Los Angeles, have probably seen the recent advertisement blitz on billboards throughout the city. 1950's-style cartoon explosions ala Superman comics, exhibiting the "blast" of healthy power sure to be dropped into your life when you drink Pom Wonderful pure pomegranate juice.
The kind folks at Pom Wonderful reached out to Organic Eating Daily, and offered to send over a case of the juice. We thought — sure! Why not? And boy were we glad. The juice is great, the bottles are shaped in an interesting way, the portions in each little plastic jar aren't too big, and there is no sugar added: just 100% authentic pomegranate juice.
A Few Facts About the Healthy Side of Pure Pomegranate Juice
From Pom's website: "POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice is the only pomegranate juice backed by $25 million in medical research." Apparently, they are the only pomegranate juice backed by any medical research.
According to Pom Wonderful, they're up on the fact that much chatter has been going lately with regard to pomegranates and the health of our hearts, prostates, erectile function and more. Further, they commend the promising results in the preliminary stages, but assert that "all of the research has been done on POM Wonderful 100% Pomegranate Juice." Not on the competition. Named after a unique variety of pomegranate (the Wonderful), all of their juice comes from this fruit, and from California. And all of the fruit is juiced with their own proprietary technology, making Pom Wonderful a truly unique beverage.
Pomegranates and Fresh Fruit Juice
This seemed to me to be an excellent way to get the benefits of healthy fruits and vegetables, which many of us, including myself, never seem to get enough of. The juice itself hedges towards prune juice in its basic flavor, like a thick red grape juice. It's not as dense or heady as prunes, and not as sweet as grapes. It's a bit bitter – but nothing to make your lips pucker. All in all, it's kind of perfect. Rich, flavorful, refreshing.

Murder inquest sets hares running on Norfolk
Page Tools
Janelle Patton's private life on Norfolk Island - her lovers, fights and fears - was opened like a stolen diary yesterday.
The gathered islanders and others in the Georgian courthouse heard of a 29-year-old fleeing Sydney, physically and emotionally scarred by men, a woman who had plans for a fresh start on Norfolk, but kept battling low self-esteem with anti-depressants and alcohol.
Also aired were the first "persons of interest" that included Ms Patton's parents - who were visiting the weekend their daughter was killed - a woman Ms Patton had accused of infidelity, and the man involved in that alleged liaison.
The coroner, Ron Cahill, made it clear to the public gallery before evidence began that those named should not be considered suspected murderers.
But in a place alive with dem tull - translated as "they say" and meaning gossip and innuendo - half the public gallery failed to return after lunch. They were busy giving accounts of the proceedings to fellow islanders who could not make it, or chose not to attend the hearing.
Mr Cahill said it was not his goal to "rattle the cages" of those named and that it would be a miracle if the inquest ended with anyone being charged.
"This is not like Jessica Fletcher in Murder She Wrote," he said. "Angela Lansbury is not going to walk in that door and say, 'He or she or they did it'. Equally, Quincy [a crime-fighting television coroner played by Jack Klugman] is not going to walk in with a forensic solution."
Detective Sergeant Bob Peters, who has led the investigation into Norfolk's first murder for more than 150 years, spent about four hours detailing facts police deem relevant about Ms Patton's life.
From what detectives have learnt of her background, he said, it was a "strong possibility" the she knew her killer and that she was murdered because of something in her past.
Forensic evidence will play little part. Police suspect that Ms Patton was bundled into a vehicle while walking near Rooty Hill Road but don't know where she was killed. There was no DNA other than hers where the body was found, and no useful fingerprints.
For the first time her injuries were laid out publicly. They included a fractured skull and pelvis, slashes across her face and body, defensive wounds to her hands, and a 15 centimetre deep V-shaped stab to the chest.
Ms Patton's sexual partnerships, by no means a great many over 2 years, have been endless sources of "dem tull".
To reach the evening of March 30, 2002, when Ms Patton's body was found wrapped in black plastic at Cockpit Waterfall Reserve, Sergeant Peters began with events that led her to Norfolk and shaped her relationships with men.
An unremarkable relationship in her late teens had led into a disastrous one with an RAN sailor who once broke her jaw.
Ms Patton was so scarred that when she then attracted a man she really liked, her response was, "He's such a nice guy, why does he want anything to do with me?" This partner had suggested that she go away for a while and sort out her emotions. (After she was killed, he blamed himself.)
Soon after her arrival on a temporary entry permit in October 1999, Ms Patton found Larry Perrett, but their relationship soon deteriorated amid her drinking and his use of cannabis. She destroyed his plants.
A workmate at Foodland supermarket, Susan Fieldes, suggested that she stay with her neighbour, Charles "Spindles" Menghetti, but this arrangement ended when Ms Patton accused the married Ms Fieldes of conducting an "inappropriate relationship" with Mr Menghetti.
Ms Fieldes, who with Mr Menghetti is considered a person of interest, quit Foodlands and Ms Patton moved in with Mr Menghetti's brother Paul, known as "Jap", with whom she became intimate.
Apparently still bitter over Ms Patton's allegations, Ms Fieldes attacked her one night at the Sports and Workmens Club, later pleading guilty to assault. Another person claims to have seen Spindles Menghetti pull Ms Patton's hair at the Leagues Club and warn, "Stop this shit or I'll sort you out".
By March 2001 Ms Patton had moved into a flat attached to the home of Ruth and Baker "Foxy" McCoy. She continued seeing Jap Menghetti, who tried to end the relationship, but she had trouble letting go.
With that liaison over by August, she then hooked up with Laurie "Bucket" Quintal, whom she met in the RSL in October, but that relationship too would not last.
The inquest continues today.

SYDNEY Aug 31 AAP - Manly jumped above Melbourne into third spot and claimed their first top-four scalp of the season on the back of an electrifying first-half display at Brookvale Oval on Saturday.
Winger David Williams bagged a first-half hat-trick as a switched on Manly overcame an early injury setback to back-rower Jamie Buhrer to score the first 20 points on their way to a 28-8 victory.
The Sea Eagles, who needed to win by 11 to clamber above the Storm on the NRL ladder, scored all six of their tries down Melbourne's left-hand side, in arguably their best performance of the season.
The margin might have been greater if captain and centre Jamie Lyon hadn't had a wayward night with the boot - missing five of his seven kicks at goal.
Manly, who had drawn with Melbourne earlier this season and lost twice to both the pacesetting Rabbitohs and Roosters, underlined their title credentials.
Starting Saturday's penultimate round NRL game two points behind the third-placed Storm, Manly produced a scorching start, piling on 12 points in the first 13 minutes.
Fullback Brett Stewart crossed twice before leaving the ground late in the game.
A besieged and uncharacteristically mistake-ridden Melbourne looked rattled in the first quarter.
The Sea Eagles performed with pace precision and confidence despite losing back-rower Buhrer after little more than 70 seconds.
He was taken to hospital for X-rays, appearing to suffer a rib injury after being caught in an awkward tackle between Ryan Hoffman and Ryan Hinchcliffe.
Within half a minute of Buhrer leaving the ground, Manly had their first try, with Williams crossing after Melbourne forward Jesse Bromwich lost the ball in the opening set.
The rampant Sea Eagles were in again in the ninth minute, when Stewart was set up by brother Glenn.
Williams crossed twice in the right hand side to expand his tally for the season to 17, after Manly players knocked back high crossfield kicks from five-eighth Kieran Foran.
Williams almost scored two more before the break and was outside Stewart when the fullback dived over for his second four-pointer.
Two minutes before the break, Melbourne finally got on the board when winger Sisa Waqa beat opposing winger Peta Hiku to a perfectly weighted kick from fullback Billy Slater.
In the second half, Waqa, on two occasions, and fellow winger O'Neill almost scored as the Storm played with more urgency and intensity.
Stewart scored Manly's fifth try before O'Neill crossed late for Melbourne.
Halfback Daly Cherry-Evans notched Manly's sixth try after Storm five-eighth Brett Finch fumbled a pass from an uncharacteristically out-of-sorts Cameron Smith.
Melbourne coach Craig Bellamy was at a loss to explain what he described as a really poor performance by his side.
"Obviously our defence was poor and usually that comes down to a poor attitude," Bellamy said.
"I'm not quite sure why we had the poor attitude tonight.
"But it was really disappointing, so we've got a fair bit of work to do.
Smith, normally one of the NRL's most eloquent spokesmen, turned taciturn when asked why Melbourne lacked intensity.
"No. I don know what more to say, there's no reason at all," Smith said.
Manly coach Geoff Toovey praised his team's effort, especially after the early loss of Buhrer.
"It was a gutsy performance, particularly after losing Jamie Buhrer in the first minute," Toovey said.
"We had to shuffle players around,, but I think the first half was definitely our best half of football this year."
Toovey wasn't fussed Manly had finally beaten another top four team.
He said he would know more about Buhrer's rib injury on Sunday and that Stewart was taken off as a precautionary measure with a slight hamstring strain.
Bellamy said O'Neill could be out for a while after being kneed in the back.

Amherst Holds On to Defeat Keene State
Lord Jeffs Dominate every facet in 2-1 victory
AMHERST, Massachusetts -- The Amherst College Lord Jeffs men's soccer team controlled the pace of the game throughout the afternoon and held on the beat the visiting Keene State College Owls in the First Round of the Men's NCAA Soccer Tournament Wednesday afternoon at Amherst. The Jeffs got on the board first in the opening frame when Brian Angelini (Granada Hills, CA) lofted a free kick over the heads of the Owl defenders and set the table for a Stephen Squillario (Randolph, NJ) goal. The score remained 1-0 through the half until the Owls struck back. On one of their only real offensive rushes of the day, Amherst was penalized with a hand ball inside the circle. Keene State backer Gerry Boggis looped the free-kick over the wall into the upper left corner of the net. The momentum shifted for a moment-- but only a moment. Amherst stormed back and answered the Owl score just a two minutes later. Off a throw deep in the Keene State zone, Amherst backer Mike Grant (Mendon, MA) took the ball out of the crowd and punched it past the diving Owl goalkeeper. The Jeffs controlled the flow of the game from that point forth and hung on for the 2-1 victory.
The Lord Jeffs (13-2) advance into the NCAA New England Regionals where they will face Plymouth State (16-0-2) in Plymouth, New Hampshire, this Saturday morning at 11:00 a.m.

I didn't get a chance to write about an issue I know has been burning in many of your minds: This season's finale of The Bachelor was one of the worst finales in the show's history of bad finales. The season seemed to end on a high note — on a mountain, with Ben Flajnik, down on his knee asking Courtney Robertson to be his wife. So far, so good. Immediately following that episode, however, ABC aired The Bachelor: After the Final Rose. In an ideal world, this means that we get to see the couple finally holding hands out in the open, and the producers give us a close up of the ring.
But not this season. The happy couple had already broken up — to no one's surprise. As the season unfolded, every single viewer could see the train wreck slowly happen: Courtney irritated the women with her snide remarks but turned on the charm when she was around Ben. Did I say "charm"? Well, she showed up at his hotel room in a robe, before leading him to the ocean to skinny dip.
After the skinny-dipping incident, Ben spoke to the camera, "There's just something about her that I really like."
You think?

LEXINGTON, S.C. - Seven University of South Carolina students have been charged with hazing and will face disciplinary proceedings, school and law enforcement officials said Thursday.
The men are accused of beating another man with fists, a wooden paddle and a metal bat. They also are accused of choking the man during a fraternity initiation at an off-campus apartment near West Columbia in October.
The Phi Beta Sigma fraternity had been suspended at the university since October "based on information we received about possible hazing," university spokesman Russ McKinney said Thursday. That suspension will continue, and the seven men charged will enter the university's disciplinary process, Mr. McKinney said.
Lexington County Sheriff James Metts said detectives this week arrested Brandon Jerraud Barnes, 21, of Columbia; Brandon Jamal Bomar, 23, of Woodruff; Brandon Elijah Bradley, 22, of Dalzell; Peter Christopher Gaskins, 22, of Lake City; William Levern Henryhand, 21, of Lake City; Travis Reuben Sheffield, 24, of Georgetown; and Larry Bernard Singleton Jr., 22, of North Charleston.
Each was charged with hazing, a misdemeanor punishable by a maximum of one year in prison and a $500 fine.
