A DOG OWNER has spoken out after one of his dogs was poisoned after eating palm oil on a beach.
Andrew Doran, 52, was walking Tibetan terriers, Izzy and Yogi, both six, and Lillie, three, on Avon Beach, Christchurch, on Monday morning when Izzy started eating a small pebble-like item she found in the shingle and sand.
When Andrew went over to find out what Izzy had picked up, he said that he drew the link to news pieces and social media posts on palm oil, which washes up on beaches and poisons animals.
He said: "I thought that it could be palm oil, so I took Izzy and the pebble-like piece to the vets, who confirmed my suspicions and then gave the dog something to make her sick."
Andrew then left the vets to head to work, but found that Izzy had been sick once again along the journey.
His wife, Kim, also 52, took Izzy to the nearest vets, where they put her on a drip and antibiotics, and she has since been steadily improving.
"We have lived in this area for the last 15 years and have walked on that beach daily.
"However, there are no posters or warnings to dog owners about potential palm oil on the beach, so people are not aware that it could be there."
Steve Trewhella, conservationist and marine photographer, said: "All the recent storms have done is wash up these different oils from out at sea. If there are harmful substances such as these on the beach, I think there should be notices put up by the local council which warn owners to keep their dogs on a lead.
"These are pollution incidents and they are harmful. If it can make a dog ill, it's got to do the same to other animals and even humans."
Staff investigate beaches
A spokesperson for Christchurch Borough Council confirmed that they had received one report of a dog becoming ill after reportedly eating palm oil.
He added: "We have staff investigating the beaches on a daily basis, as we are aware of debris being washed onto the beach.
"We are not aware of any confirmed reports of palm oil on Avon beach."

Dees Dubbel
Henri Clément, whose used pseudonyms like Rik and Rik Leeman, was born in Sint-Amandsberg in 1920. He studied painting in Ghent in 1940. His first published work was in children's page of De Jonge Nationaal-Socialist in 1943. When the War was over, he graduated in Art History and Architecture from the University of Ghent.
De Rokende Doodskop (Kadet, 1954)
He earned his money doing illustrations and painting jobs, before he found employment with the editorial offices of Taptoe, a publication by Het Volk. Shortly afterwards, he became a reporter/editor for Het Volk. He illustrated his own articles, and created his first comic, 'Bazielken in Amerika', with text by Pol Ingier in 1949. Inspired by the work of Hergé, Rik drew three more stories of the satirical 'Bazielken' comic until 1950.
Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Clément was an illustrator for Het Volk, Het Zondagsblad and 't Kapoentje. For many years, he was the editor-in-chief for the weekly 't Kapoentje, as well as it's Walloon counterpart Le Petit Luron. He did some of his best work for 't Kapoentje, starting with the illustrations for the stories 'De Mannen van 't Pleintje'. He designed headers, logos and lettering and also made comics like 'Het Vuur van St.Elmus' with John Flanders (1952), eleven stories with 'Reinhart, de Eenzame Ridder' (from 1955) and three with the detective 'Jan Knap' (from 1963).
Rik's comics also found their way to the weekly pulp comic magazine Ohee!, such as 'Reinhart', 'Jan Knap' ('Dick Durf') and 'De Musketiers van 't Schipperskwartier'. Some of his first stories with 'Dees Dubbel' were also published in this magazine. 'Dees Dubbel' was published in Ons Zondagsblad from 1955. It became Rik's best known work, especially after it was transferred to Het Volk in 1965. Book publications followed of 'Daverende Daden van Dees Dubbel en Cesar' and many young Belgians have grown up with Rik's typical humor.
Everard t' Serclaes
In addition, Rik made book illustrations, and did contributions to Zonneland, Samedi Jeunesse, Vlaamse Filmkens, Snoek's Almanak and Averbode's Weekblad. For the latter, he illustrated John Flanders stories, but he also made comics like 'Pat Patterson en Het Groene Oog' (1959) and gags with 'Kadijster' (1960). His work can also be found in the colonial papers De Week and Le Courrier d'Afrique from Leopoldstad (Kinshasa), Congo.
covers for Ohee! (16/1/1965) and Zonneland (#47, 1963)
Clément, who always considered his comic art as a relaxed hobby for himself and his audience, used a pleasant, spontaneous drawing style that makes his work easy to read. He was however also a journalist. He became editor-in-chief of Het Zondagsblad, a literary suppelement of Het Volk, in 1970. It wasn't until after his retirement in 1986 that he found the time to write a great many notorious articles for the paper under the pen name Clem Henry, especially about the stolen panel from the triptych 'Adoration of the Mystic Lamb', a painting by Jan and Hubert van Eyck in the Sint-Baafskathedraal in Ghent.
In the early 2000's Clément felt he couldn't keep up with the modern times and he retired completely. He passed away away on 19 January 2008.

I tried my new grill today with Cypriot Souvla!!
It's usually done with lamb or pork shoulder, but I had pork loin on hand and needed to cook it soon. This also gave me a chance to learn about the grill, since the loin cooks faster.
Here are some pix from the process
Added the veggies later on the skewer rotisseries
Kept the food warm while the rest of the veggies were cooking
2 hours later, dinner was served
The grill worked well and the food practically cooked it self. I just sat there with a cold beer and watched it spin around over the coals, it was an awesome smell and sight

Last Second TD Lifts Old Dominion Over Flames
A 27-yard touchdown pass from Taylor Heinicke to Blair Roberts with 27 seconds left in the game gave Old Dominion its first lead of the night and a 21-17 victory over Liberty, Saturday night, at Foreman Field at S.B. Ballard Stadium.
The win pushes Old Dominion's record to 4-2 on the season and was the Monarchs' fourth-straight home victory. The loss evens the Flames' 2013 record at 3-3 following the first-ever meeting between the two Commonwealth opponents.
The first four drives of the game failed for both teams, including a pair of three-and-out series for the Flames and the Monarchs missing on a fourth-down play from the Liberty three-yard line.
The Flames were the first team to get on the scoreboard thanks to two quick strikes from quarterback Josh Woodrum. The first was a 38-yard completion to Dante Shells over the middle to get Liberty into Monarch territory for the first time on the evening. The second was a 15-yard slant pass to Gabe Henderson near the back of the end zone, giving Liberty the 7-0 lead with 3:35 left to play in the first quarter.
The high-powered offense of Old Dominion quickly answered, as the Monarch's Heinicke matched Woodrum's big-play passing game.
The reigning Walter Payton Award winner first hit Antonio Vaughan in stride down the near sideline to get into the red zone on a 33-yard passing play. Two plays later, Heinicke found Blair Roberts in the back of the end zone, tying the game, 7-7, at the 1:29 mark with a 12-yard scoring pass.
The Flames had a chance to regain the lead after piecing together a 15-play, 52-yard drive that stalled at the Old Dominion 23-yard line. John Lunsford's 40-yard field goal attempt five minutes into the second quarter sailed wide right to keep the game tied.
The next scoring opportunity came nearly nine minutes later when a hurry-up attack by Old Dominion was stopped by the Flames. The Monarchs brought Jarod Brown onto to the field to attempt a 53-yard field goal, but the kick sailed wide left.
Liberty took a page out of Old Dominion's playbook by quickly moving the ball downfield on three quick completions from Woodrum to Shells. The third setup a 52-yard field goal try from Lunsford, who was able to knock down his career-long kick to give the Flames the 10-7 edge at the break.
The two teams used their passing games to move the ball during the majority of the first half, finishing with a combined 307 passing yards to a combined 405 total offensive yards.
Heinicke completed 24-of-28 passing attempts for 191 yards, while Woodrum was successful on 11-of-19 attempts for 116 yards. Both quarterbacks had passing touchdowns.
Desmond Rice led the Flames limited ground game with seven carries for 25 yards, while Boyd paced Old Dominion with five carries for 19 yards. Top receivers for the first half were Liberty's Darrin Peterson with five receptions for 38 yards and Boyd with five catches for 24 yards.
The Monarchs looked like they might score on the opening drive of the second half, as Old Dominion penetrated the red zone for the fourth time of the night. However, Kenny Scott recorded his first career interception in the end zone to thwart the scoring attempt.
Liberty managed to move the ball just past midfield on the ensuing drive, but Old Dominion was able to stop them at its own 40-yard line. Lunsford was brought on to attempt what would have been a program-record 57-yard field goal, but the kick was tipped at the line and the game remained in favor of the Flames, 10-7, midway through the third quarter.
The next drive for the Monarchs was nearly a carbon copy of the first of the half with Heinicke quickly moving the home team down the field. But Scott was able to set in front of another pass in the end zone, ending the drive following a 16-yard interception return.
The Flames were finally able to dent the scoreboard with 3:15 left to play in the third quarter when Woodrum hit Brandon Apon over the middle for a touchdown. The 28-yard pass play, which saw the tight end drag a defender into the end zone from four-yards out, was his second of the year and gave Liberty a 17-7 edge.
The six-play, 84-yard drive was spotlighted by a pair of sizeable first down receptions by Gabe Henderson (17 and 23 yards) to keep the drive alive.
The Flames' first turnover of the game nearly cost them their 10-point lead, as Clifton Richardson was struck from behind an lost the football to strong safety Fellonte Misher.
On the next play, Heinicke completed a 47-yard pass to Larry Pickard to get the Monarchs into the red zone for the sixth time on the day. Old Dominion kept the ball on the ground for the next four plays and Liberty was able to get its third fourth-down stop of the game just in front of the end zone to keep its 10-point lead.
The Flames were unable to pick up a first down on the ensuing drive and were forced to punt following the three-and-out series. Grant Bowden's punt sailed only 35 yards, allowing Aaron Evans position to return the punt 64 yards for a touchdown to trim Liberty's lead to three, 17-14, with 4:22 left to play in the ball game.
Trying to wind the clock out, the Flames were able to pick up one first down on the next drive, but it was not enough, as Liberty was forced to punt for the third time in the fourth quarter.
Taking over with 80 seconds left on the game clock, Heinicke was able to complete four-of-five passing attempts on the game winning drive. His final completion was a lofted ball to Roberts in the far corner of the end zone, completing the home team's dramatic comeback victory.
Liberty did manage to get the ball to the Old Dominion 35-yard line on the game's final drive, but Woodrum's deep pass in the end zone to Peterson was broken up by Misher to save the Monarchs' Homecoming victory.
Old Dominion outgained the Flames in the game 550 total offensive yards to 401, with 173 of its yards coming during the decisive fourth quarter.
Heinicke had his seventh career 400-yard passing game, finishing the contest with 450 passing yards and completing 39-of-52 passing attempts.
Woodrum had his third-most passing yards in a game in his young career, completing 23-of-37 passing attempts for 295 yards. Both quarterbacks had two touchdown passes.
Rice was the game's leading ground gainer, finishing the contest with 20 carries for 78 yards, while Goodwyn led the Monarchs with 10 carries for 41 yards.
Henderson had his first career 100-yard receiving game, finishing the contest with eight receptions for 120 yards and a score. Roberts led the Monarchs with eight receptions for 86 yards and both the team's scores, while Vaughan had seven catches for 108 yards.
The Flames' defense limited the Monarchs to less than half the points they had been averaging per game coming into the contest (49.8).
Liberty's defense was paced by Wesley Scott, who finished with a career-best 13 tackles, while Walt Aikens added 10 stops. Kenny Scott became the second Flame this year to finish a game with two interceptions.
Old Dominion's defensive effort was paced by Misher, who was the third player in the game to finish with double-digit tackles (11).
The Flames will have the week off before they begin Big South play on Oct. 19 against Coastal Carolina at Williams Stadium. Kickoff for the game is set for 3:30 p.m. and the game will be broadcast on ESPN3 as part of the Big South television package.
Coastal Carolina is one of two unbeaten teams in the Big South this season, as the Chanticleers enter their bye weekend this year with a 5-0 record. Coastal Carolina is currently ranked No. 9 in this week's Sports Network poll and No. 6 in this week's FCS Coaches poll.

LAKELAND, Fla. – The Saint Leo women's basketball team (6-2) fell to regional foe Alabama-Huntsville (7-1) by the score of 86-59, in day one of the Florida Southern College Classic, Sunday afternoon from the Jenkins Field House in Lakeland, Fla.
A 55-point second half propelled the Chargers to the 27-point win as they connected on 12 three-point field goals and forced 34 Saint Leo turnovers. Jasmine Hammon did the majority of the damage for UAH as she poured in a game-best 20. For Saint Leo, the Lions saw three double-digit scorers, including a team-high 12 points and eight rebounds from Chelsea Williams as they shot 45 percent from the floor.
In the first half, the Lions saw a high-powered Huntsville squad jump out to a 13-3 lead. Still, a feisty Lions' bunch soon responded as four different scorers cut the lead to two, 15-13, with 9:14 to play. The Chargers, however, slowly pushed their lead back to 10 in the final stages of the half. Saint Leo responded with one final rally during the final two minutes to cut the Chargers' lead to five, 31-26, just before the break.
A fast-break layup by the Lions' Kinnara Lewis cut the lead to three out of intermission. However, the shot sparked the offensive minded Chargers to score eight consecutive points to take a 41-28 lead. After growing their lead to 14, the Chargers were stoned by a strong Lions' defense which only allowed six points over the next four minutes. During that time, Shalisa Hill led a charge which saw Saint Leo shrink the Chargers' lead to five again, 54-49.
Still, the final nine minutes belonged to Alabama-Huntsville as their offense exploded for 32 points on five three-pointers to seal the double-digit win.
The Lions forced the Chargers into 24 turnovers which they converted into 20 points. Lewis added 10 points and Hill went 5-of-8 from the floor en route to a 10-point afternoon.
The Lions will conclude the Florida Southern Classic on Monday, December 19, when they take on No.23 Delta State from the Jenkins Field House in Lakeland, Fla. For the latest news, information, and updates on the women's basketball team, visit SaintLeoLions.com.

Investing in the Power of Women
Text Size
Since its launch in 2008, our firm's 10,000 Women program has helped female entrepreneurs in underserved countries around the world create new economic opportunities for themselves and their communities. Now, thanks to a new partnership between Goldman Sachs and the Government of Denmark, qualified graduates of the 10,000 Women program will get access to the funding they need to grow their businesses.
The project will begin with a pilot program in Tanzania, where the Danish government will provide loan guarantees and will help develop sustainable, low-cost banking products. The program will also include graduates of selected programs offered by the U.S. State Department, which will assist in identifying potential recipients.
"The evidence is indisputable: women entrepreneurs and women-owned businesses make significant contributions to a country's economic development and overcoming poverty," said Robert B. Zoellick, President of the World Bank Group, speaking at the partnership's launch. He added, "Too often, women entrepreneurs have limited access to finance, hampering the growth of their businesses. Initiatives such as this public-private partnership help unleash the potential of women entrepreneurs and will make a real difference in the lives of women and their families in developing countries."

HOUSTON - Bieber fever will invade Houston in less than a week when Justin Bieber takes center stage at Toyota Center on Oct. 30. But some young Houston fans won't be at the show because the tickets their parents bought turned out to be counterfeit.
Yajaira Covarrubias scoured Craigslist looking for tickets so her daughter could see Justin Bieber in concert.
"I was blinded, I was just so excited I couldn't wait to see the expression on her face," Covarrubias told Local 2.
She saw an ad from a man who said he had a pair of tickets. She met him, paid $300 and then found out the tickets were fake.
"I called the Toyota Center the next business day to confirm my seats and the seats didn't even exist," Covarrubias said.
Yesenia Alvarez almost got duped into the same scam.
"He was going to give me for $300 for two tickets, so it seemed like a good deal," Alvarez explained.
Alvarez says she met the same guy at a Walmart in Spring and got suspicious.
"And I didn't want to buy the tickets, and he kind of got upset and cussed and then left," she said.
Local 2's Gary Striewski also found ads from the same guy on Craigslist, so he called and sent text messages. The man agreed to sell two tickets to Striewski for $35, but never showed up for the exchange.
The Better Business Bureau has some tips for anyone buying concert or sporting event tickets on the secondary market.\
- Ask to see the seller's original invoice from when the tickets were purchased.
- Ask the seller how he or she may be contacted after the sale.
- If the seller is evasive, don't pursue the offer.
- If you are purchasing online, use either a credit card or a Paypal account. Both of those options offer some protection if the tickets are fake.

Happy 16th anniversary Stephane. And Howie Rose. And Brian Leetch, who opened the scoring with one of the greatest goals he ever scored.
First things first. The Rangers, starting today, are doing profiles on the top 20 prospects in the organization — one each week day not including the Memorial Day Holiday. You can see the story here and go to the Rangers' site each day for the latest profile.
Now onto Boneheads Stanley Cup Finals Extravaganza Contest (and picnic) No. 1.
This one is where you pick the series. Winner and number of games. Here's the kicker. I'm going to ask you for a score of the clinching game, and a score of the first game. Those will be the two tiebreakers, in that order.
So your ballot, if you choose to participate, should look something like this:
Flyers in 5.
Clincher: 6-4 Flyers.
Game 1: 4-2 Blackhawks.
I'm going to ask youse to play fair. One ballot per person. Don't make me go checking your IPs.
Get 'em in between now and gametime Saturday. The winner gets a copy of the book "100 Ranger Greats" co-authored by my late friend ans NHL historian, John Halligan.
I'll have details on the the BSCFEC (ap) No. 2 tonight, I hope.
Can I just say something about all this hoopla about the Super Bowl coming to New Jersey? People were making signs and gathering to cheer the decision, and calling the radio stations …
Unless you own a hotel in the East Rutherford, N.J. area or have a stake in the NFL or the Giants or Jets, why the byfuglien do you care? You won't be able to get a ticket, and you couldn't afford it if you could get one. There are only going to be a few thousand even available after all the NFL/team/player/sponsor allotments. You are going to watch the 2014 Super Bowl in the same place you watched every other Super Bowl — on your couch. The Giants and Jets aren't going to be in it. It's more likely to be your arch-enemies, like New England vs. Dallas.
You won't be able to get into any of the big parties. You will be able to stand in line and pay plenty to get into the "NFL experience" things, which really are no big deal other than an attempt to get you to spend more of your money on crappy merchandise.
So, in summary, the very rich will be at the game, and the very rich will be getting richer off the game, and the whole thing is going to cause traffic problems and probably cost the taxpayers of the two fine states plenty for security and police, etc. Oh, and it's going to help the Giants and Jets sell more PSLs.
Why are we supposed to be excited about that?
Oh, plus the world is supposed to end in 2012.

Lavendar Heaven
I keep lavender in my bedroom, it induces wonderful sleep. I like to put the lavender hand lotion on my hands which I breath in during sleep. I find myself aware of the fragrance as I move or turn and I lull back to peaceful sleep. And my hands stay so soft. What more could I want??? Great product. I keep it one in my purse and moisturize my hands before I drive, then smell the fragrance when driving, very calming effect. Smells just like the lavender I grow, doesn't smell like chemical lavender so many other products smell like.

As the dust settles at Kingsmeadow and AFC Wimbledon prepare for life without Terry Brown, the former manager believes he knows where it all went wrong.
He says defence was the problem as injury and loss of form played havoc with his possible selections - however, he also suggests that they could have done better with the players they recruited.
Since winning the League Two opener against Chesterfield, the Dons picked up just one point from six games and conceded an average of two goals per game.
After the 5-1 defeat to Bradford City, which had followed a 6-2 drubbing at Burton Albion, Brown and the Dons board held talks and decided that the board would support Brown's need to recruit defensive cover.
However, despite bringing in Curtis Haynes-Brown, Dale Bennett, George Francomb, Steven Gregory and Will Antwi, the club's fortunes did not change, ending in three straight defeats and the sacking of Terry Brown and Stuart Cash.
Brown said: "We never got the defence right. This year in particular we have not been able to field a settled side.
"Our major summer signing at left back [Curtis Osana] has not kicked a ball in anger, Mat Michel-King had not been able to produce anything through injury and personal issues, and Curtis Haynes-Brown was injured straight away.
"The back four has been changed every week and it is not good enough. If you don't get the two centre halves settled then you don't get the full backs sorted out and you're always going to concede goals."
He added: "It was nothing to do with coaching or the tactics, it was about getting good enough players out on the park and you have to look at our recruitment and ask 'could we have done a bit
better', and maybe we could."

De La Rosa gets no support in loss to Tigers
Lefty allows four runs in third, and offense is held to just four hits
DETROIT -- The Rockies' latest disappointing road trip came to an end Sunday, but not before one more lethargic offensive performance.
The Tigers used a four-run third inning to win, 4-0, at Comerica Park and complete a sweep of Colorado, which lost six of seven games on the road swing and has dropped 18 of its last 20 away from Coors Field.
"The only thing I can tell you is we need to keep grinding it out," said Brandon Barnes, who had one of the Rockies' four hits Sunday. "Good things are bound to happen. We've had some setbacks, some injuries, but at the same time, we need to go out there and battle every single day.
"The season's not over yet."
Detroit starter Anibal Sanchez made quick work of the first seven batters he faced before allowing a single to Barnes. He responded by retiring the next 10 Rockies to come to the plate.
As Colorado manager Walt Weiss put it, Sanchez was "in complete control."
"He commanded all his pitches," Weiss said. "Probably half the balls he threw were by design."
Sanchez struck out 12 over seven scoreless innings as Colorado was shut out for the seventh time this season.
The Rockies finished the seven-game road trip without a home run and with 82 strikeouts and a .205 batting average. It was the first time since 2010 that Colorado went without a homer on a road trip of at least two series.
As for the flood of strikeouts, Weiss had no explanation, saying only that his team struggled when behind in counts, as it constantly was Sunday.
"[Sanchez] got ahead of everybody really quick," Barnes said. "Strike one, right away. He's definitely one of the better pitchers in the league."
For the second straight game, Victor Martinez knocked a three-run homer for Detroit. Rockies starter Jorge De La Rosa got groundouts of the first two batters in the third but ran into trouble after that. He allowed an RBI single to Miguel Cabrera and the homer to Martinez on a cutter low in the zone.
De La Rosa was satisfied with the pitch he threw to Martinez, but obviously not the result.
"It was a really good pitch," he said, "but I think he was looking for it."
De La Rosa pointed to Martinez's ability to anticipate the pitch as evidence of why Detroit has "the best lineup in the league."
"That's when you know what kind of hitters they are," said De La Rosa, who fell to 11-7. "They react really good."
Due to the Rockies' struggles on offense, the four-run lead felt insurmountable. It was.
Prior to the two-out rally, Colorado had relied on the defensive abilities of third baseman Nolan Arenado to keep the game scoreless.
"He's an excellent third baseman," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "He moves well. He's got great body control. The coaching staff was talking about him in the dugout, that his guy is a premier defensive third baseman.
"When I was a special assistant in San Diego, I saw him play a little bit and I knew he was good. But watching him in this series like this every single pitch, and he had quite a few opportunities, he's a legitimate Gold Glove third baseman."
De La Rosa did a nice job of keeping his composure following Martinez's home run. He struck out Torii Hunter to end the inning and didn't allow another hit until there were two outs in the fifth, when a ball bounced off the glove of a diving Arenado.
De La Rosa, the club's 19th straight left-handed starter, ended up allowing four runs on six hits. He lasted 6 2/3 innings, recovering nicely from the blast to Martinez, but the offense continued its feeble run.
Colorado will play host to the Cubs, who took three of four from the Rockies last week at Wrigley Field, for three games beginning on Tuesday.
"There's no magic words," Weiss said of what he can tell his club, which holds the National League's worst record at 44-67. "Get a day off, regroup and try to win the series starting on Tuesday. There's no magic words."

EDIT: So, can you explain to me why, in your view, David appears to resent it when people reject the concept of "Ultimate Reality?"
Discussion of the nature of Ultimate Reality and the path to Enlightenment
Genius News is a monthly newsletter based on the world's most intelligent email and web forums: Genius-L (now defunct) and Genius Forum.
Unidian wrote:"Glorious Truth" doesn't dump on people because they don't share your (disordered) temperament.
And if you were any kind of Zen teacher (rather than a Quinnanentics teacher), you'd know that it's only when people become good and well tired of concepts like "Ultimate Reality" that they have any chance to shift into a direct experience of reality (no capital R or other concept-based qualifiers).
What you are describing above is a kind of nihilism which is content with being aware of the here and now and reveling in animal pastimes.
I've come to the conclusion that you have no understanding of what infinite understanding means, and no idea of what negotiating the Great Barrier is all about.
It is the reason why whenever it is pointed to your attention on this forum, you literally see nothing there. It is the reason why you find wise concepts empty and meaningless.
As Kevin once said, making the movement into infinite understanding is a very odd thing to do. It is always very close to us, and yet there is a strange, hidden barrier in the way. Whether or not one becomes awake to this barrier is a matter of luck more than anything else.
So it is perhaps understandable that most people are bewildered by wise words, and why so many of them retreat to the nihilism of animal consciousness as a kind of refuge. That's their privilege, but it isn't Zen.

It's partly provocative and partly true; it's partly provocative because it's true.
Everyone out to get you, Dan? lolDiscussion about the most basic and profound ideas that humans can consider is by its very nature dangerous etc.
Your self-importance is insufferable.Debating work, for example, fits perfectly well in this descriptive framework. It is the most important, most challenging, most difficult and dangerous stuff people can talk about - and therefore, in my terms, also the most intelligent - because intelligence encompasses much more than mere computational power.
Alex Jacob wrote:"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away."
---Philip K. Dick
I have been finding this to be true, and I admit it is disconcerting: No matter what I do, no matter how numbed-out I might make myself, and no matter how much I 'tune-in', up to this point the 'nature of reality' that surrounds me, and so terribly drives everything, almost ridiculously senslessly, continues to be precisely the same from day to day. Believing it or not, it doesn't go away.
Maybe its different for you, but for me one of the only things I have to go on is the 'exploding metaphor' and all it connotes, and the promises it sets upon the paths that crisscross 'reality'.

LEADING politicians have praised the "bravery" shown by five Army personnel, including four people from RAF Odiham, after they were killed in a helicopter crash in Afghanistan.
As reported on The Gazette website, three soldiers from the Army Air Corps and a member of the Royal Air Force, all based at RAF Odiham, were killed in a helicopter crash in the Kandahar province in south Afghanistan yesterday.
An Army reservist from the 3rd Battalion, Military Intelligence of the Army Intelligence Corps, based in London, was also killed after their Westland Lynx Mk 9 helicopter crashed.
Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg and Labour leader Ed Miliband have now joined Prime Minister David Cameron and Commander of the Joint Helicopter Command at RAF Odiham, Major General Richard Felton in praising the "bravery" shown by the five personnel.
Nick Clegg said: "Our thoughts are with the families and friends of the five service personnel who have so tragically lost their lives.
"This incident is a very sad reminder of the vital but dangerous job that our Armed Forces are doing every day to bring security to the people of Afghanistan.
"I would like to pay tribute to their service and to the ultimate sacrifice made by those who died yesterday."
Labour leader Ed Miliband said that the incident was a "tragic and poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by our armed forces in serving our country with bravery and distinction".
An investigation has now been launched to determine the cause of the crash.

Topic: neuopathy
My husband completed his last round of chemotherapy in June. Just lately he has been experiencing tingling in his hands and feet (neuropathy). Can anyone tell me if this is a temporary feeling or something he will have to live with due to treatment? Is it unusual to come on two months after treatment stopped? We are not due back to the oncologist until the end of September. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks.

After a conversation with Tod (author and app entrepreneur), I am really motivated to publish an e-book (electronic book) in the near future. The topic of the first book will be my passion for tea with a twist...
I am interested in getting input on the topic and for example the following things:
- Self-publishing tools?
- Price - freemium version?
- Distribution - through Amazon and other channels?
- Lenght of the book?
- Different formats (audio, video, text)?
- Guest writers and additional contributors, e.g., illustrators?
- Reviewers and book readers?
- Donations, crowdfunding, etc.?
I will be in touch with fine folks like David Siteman Garland, Gary Vaynerchuk, Jim Kukral, Maritza Parra, and Timothy Ferriss.
Maybe I should attend a "self-publishing boot camp for authors"? I am planning to promote my future book via social media channels.
I am writing down my thoughts in my Field Notes memo & workbook...

(written from a Production point of view)
Seven investigates a massive "conspiracy" involving the Federation, the Cardassians, the Caretaker, and numerous other alien races, which indicates that Voyager was deliberately stranded in the Delta Quadrant.
Naomi Wildman waits for Seven of Nine in Cargo Bay Two. When Seven arrives, she questions Naomi's presence. Naomi reminds her that it is time for their weekly game of kadis-kot. Seven tells her it is rescheduled for the next day and begins to work. When Naomi asks what she is doing, Seven tells her she is modifying her regeneration alcove to serve as a cortical processing subunit. Naomi is disappointed that she cannot watch, but complies when Seven asks her to leave. Meanwhile, Chakotay and Janeway are dining together in the captain's quarters, when Chakotay asks if Voyager can detour to an interesting class K nebula twenty-five light years off starboard. Janeway remarks that the decision would be a major course change for a minor nebula, but Chakotay reminds her that they are explorers. Janeway grants the request, then asks Chakotay if he is ready for her home cooking. She remarks that it is a recipe she has never tried, and quips "We are explorers, remember?"
Act One Edit
Seven of Nine completes her regeneration cycle at 0200 and hails Lieutenant Torres, who informs Seven of the time and says that it had better be important. On the bridge, a disgruntled Torres asks Janeway for permission to take the sensor network off-line. When Janeway inquires as to the reason, Seven of Nine informs her that she believes a pair of photonic fleas and possibly their offspring have made their home in it. Using her new cortical processing subunit, Seven has assimilated several teraquads of Voyager's database while in her alcove, and has constructed a plausible chain of events. An away team from Voyager encountered a Kartelan freighter carrying supplies from a former Talaxian colony. There, Neelix picked up a bucket of amber spice, which contained the larvae of the fleas, and he brought it to the kitchen. At the same time, Ensign Kim was repairing a faulty relay in the mess hall replicator. The newly-hatched fleas left the amber spice and went in search of nutrition, namely plasma particles. The open replicator circuits were a perfect target. Now the photonic fleas have mated and every so often tap into the sensor relays for nourishment. When they do, the sensors momentarily lose their resolution. Tuvok admits that the theory is logical, if speculative. Janeway is clearly intrigued – she authorizes the downtime, and accompanies Torres and Seven into a Jefferies tube, where they access a sensor node to examine the relays for themselves. Amazingly, several photonic fleas are indeed living in the network. Astonished, Janeway tells Torres to find a new home for them.
Act Two Edit
En route to the nebula, Janeway detects graviton emissions about ten light years away and orders Lieutenant Paris to alter course. Paris reminds the captain that Chakotay had his heart set on the nebula, but Janeway says that he will have to wait. Voyager arrives at an unusual station that no one can readily identify. A power fluctuation causes Janeway to hail a vessel near the station and meets a man named Tash. He tells the crew that if he can't stabilize the power grid, "they will be able to see the explosion back to... where did you say you were from?" Grinning, Janeway replies that she didn't, but that they are from a planet called Earth. Tash remarks that they will be able to see the explosion all the way back to Earth, and then proceeds to tell Janeway what the station really is. He explains that it is a graviton catapult, a device that is capable of catapulting a vessel across space faster than you can say "catapult a vessel across space". Intrigued, Janeway beams Tash aboard and meets with him in her ready room, where Tash tells the crew that he built the catapult to get himself home. He had been exploring an unstable wormhole near his homeworld when he was pulled in by accident, stranding him at least ten years from his home. Kim remarks that Voyager knows the feeling. Tash says that he is going to make his jump if he can fix his station, and then asks Janeway for her help and what she might want in return. The good captain tells him that she isn't asking for anything in return, but Tash catches on and tells her that Voyager could use the catapult after he left. It wouldn't take them to Earth, but it would cut off a few years. Janeway says that if she can determine that it would be safe for Voyager then she would do just that.
Act Three Edit
Seven of Nine wakes up from her alcove and goes to Janeway's quarters late at night. Once there, she informs Janeway that Tash's graviton catapult uses the same technology the Caretaker used to trap Voyager in the Delta Quadrant five years earlier. Shocked, Janeway asks Seven how she came to this conclusion, to which the ex-Borg replies that she scanned Tash's station and found an epsilon radiation surge emanating from it. Janeway says that it is not unheard of, but Seven retorts that the radiation is a by-product of a tetryon reactor, a device she believes is in the catapult and a device the Caretaker used to capture vessels, including Voyager. Janeway states that the first time she met a Caretaker, she was pulled half way across the galaxy, and the second time she was almost killed. She is not eager for a third round.
Act Four Edit
In engineering, Janeway, Seven, and Torres question Tash about his tetryon reactor and why he hid it from them. Tash informs them that he hid it because there were many species who would try to steal such advanced technology. Janeway believes him and tells him that she sees no reason why their deal can't continue, but does tell him that she will be watching him closely. Pulling Seven away, she tells her that she doesn't truly know if he is telling the truth or not. Seven says that the reactor may be from the Caretaker's array itself, to which Janeway replies that it is a long shot that could be true. However, Seven continues to produce evidence that her statement was fact. Seven of Nine regenerates in her alcove, and wakes up a few hours later looking disturbed. She hails Chakotay and tells him to meet her in astrometrics. Once he arrives, Seven tells the computer to seal the door and turn off all sensors around the room. Amused, Chakotay asks her why she has done this, to which she turns to him and tells him that Voyager's presence in the Delta Quadrant was no accident, but that she was stranded here on purpose. When Chakotay asks her who stranded Voyager there, she replies that it was Captain Janeway. She then proceeds to detail her evidence, suggesting an invasion into the Delta Quadrant by the Federation.
Act Five EditChakotay is talking with Torres about his conversation with Seven. Chakotay tells her to slow down on the shield modifications so that he can have more time to figure everything out. Seven of Nine regenerates in her alcove, and wakes up a few hours later looking disturbed. She hails Janeway this time and tells her to meet her in astrometrics. Once she arrives, Seven tells the computer to seal the door and turn off all sensors around the room. The conversation between Seven and Janeway proceeds similarly to the one between Seven and Chakotay, except Seven now uses the same evidence to accuse Chakotay and the Maquis instead of Janeway and the Federation. Overwhelmed with information and suspicious, Seven walks down the corridor when Naomi finds her. Naomi asks where Seven is going, but Seven tells her it is not her concern. Naomi asks what is wrong, and Seven asks her about her father. She says that the Ktarians were officially loyal to the Federation, but they sympathize with the Maquis. She asks who Naomi is working for, Chakotay or Janeway. Naomi is completely confused, and Seven says to tell them it is too late. Naomi runs, terrified.
Act Six Edit
Janeway and Chakotay meet in the cargo bay and, now wary of each other following Seven's "evidence", wonder what each is doing. The two end up comparing stories and they realize Seven is acting irrationally. The Doctor determines that Seven has downloaded far more information than even her enhanced systems can handle. Meanwhile, Seven starts suspecting a third conspiracy, that the aim of the last five years was actually to grab a Borg drone, and send it back to the Alpha Quadrant using the catapult. Furthermore, she believes she is the drone in question and that Starfleet will study and dissect her in order to retrieve tactical data to fight the Borg. Seven steals the Delta Flyer in order to escape from Voyager. Janeway manages to beam aboard. She tells Seven that there is indeed a conspiracy. Janeway explains to her that the crew "conspired" to help Seven learn how to be Human. She also tells Seven that she put too much information into her brain, which is making her ill and she should return back to the ship for treatment. Seven is eventually convinced to trust Captain Janeway again and agrees to return to Voyager for treatment.
The crew of Voyager manages to use the catapult successfully and cut three years off their journey home. Naomi greets Seven, who is removing the modifications she made to the alcove in Cargo Bay 2, telling her of the books and reports she has recently "assimilated". Seven tells Naomi that it is important to learn slowly, so the information can be digested and appreciated properly. She then tells Naomi that she has done enough work for the day and asks her to go to the mess hall and set up the kadis-kot board. Janeway and Chakotay have dinner together, both feeling guilty for having genuinely suspected other of a conspiracy. They agree that after all they've been through together, they should never stop trusting each other.
Log entries Edit
- "Captain's Log, supplemental. After further testing, we activated the catapult and were hurtled across thirty sectors of space. In less than an hour we cut three years off our journey. I'm happy to say The Doctor has repaired Seven of Nine's cortical processor and she's returned to duty."
Memorable quotesEdit
"Aesthetics are irrelevant."
- - Seven of Nine
"Speculation is not evidence. There was no tractor beam because there was no ship in the vicinity to generate one – unless you can prove otherwise."
- - Tuvok
"Can we ask you what it's supposed to do?"
"Catapult a vessel across space in the time it takes to say 'Catapult a vessel across space'."
- - Chakotay and Tash
"Let's keep this one out of our logs, huh?"
- - Captain Janeway, to Chakotay
"Are phasers standard equipment on board now?"
- - Janeway, to Chakotay
"You didn't poison the coffee, did you?"
"Not any more than I usually do."
- - Chakotay and Janeway
"A secret mission? Starfleet in league with the Caretaker? It's ridiculous!"
"Ridiculous? Seven has some compelling evidence."
"Well then let's go to the captain, get a straight answer."
"'Good morning Kathryn. All systems operational, the crew's in good health, and by the way, is it true you've been lying to us for five years?'"
- - B'Elanna Torres and Chakotay
"Warning. Plate is hot."
"Now you tell me. Go for authenticity and what do you get? Second degree burns."
- - The computer and Janeway
Background informationEdit
- This episode states that the time elapsed from "Caretaker" is "five years".
- This is the second time on Voyager that a food Neelix has brought to USS Voyager has caused a problem – the first time was in "Learning Curve".
- The artificial intelligence from the Voyager episode "Think Tank" can be seen in a corner of Tash's ship, when he hails Voyager.
- As Seven of Nine's first regeneration cycle ends, after tying in her alcove to Voyager's library computer to be a cortical processing subunit, we see diagrams of several ships, taken from the Star Trek Encyclopedia, flash by on the display, including: an Academy flight trainer, a Jem'Hadar battle cruiser, an Intrepid-class starship, a D7 battle cruiser, a long range shuttle, the orbital office complex, and a Defiant-class Starfleet ship.
- Janeway's statement about bringing "order to chaos" could be a reference to the Borg Queen's statement "I bring order to chaos" from Star Trek: First Contact.
Continuity Edit
- Various evidence is presented as part of the conspiracy. This includes:
- A Cardassian warship that was taken by the Caretaker in 2371. It was later returned to the Alpha Quadrant where it was destroyed by the Maquis.
- The destruction of the Caretaker allowed a rip to form in subspace that possibly allowed a tractor beam from a cloaked ship to save the secondary reactor.
- A number of alliances forged during Voyager's time in the Delta Quadrant, with species such as the Borg, the Hirogen, the Terkellians, and the Kolhari.
- Seska getting pregnant with Chakotay's child, which was in actuality that of First Maje Jal Culluh of the Kazon-Nistrim, in 2372 is used as evidence against him. (VOY: "Maneuvers", "Basics, Part II") Seven refers to her as "Commander Seska", when, in fact, Seska never held a rank above ensign. It is unclear whether this was a true continuity error, or part of Seven's misinformation.
- The captain sending The Doctor to contact Starfleet in 2374 is used as evidence against her. (VOY: "Message in a Bottle")
- While Janeway debunks Seven's conspiracy theories, the mysteries of why Voyager was armed with tricobalt devices and where the apparent tractor beam aimed at the Caretaker's array originated from remain unsolved by the end of the episode.

I am not much for predictions, but it's worthwhile to get a feel for what the new year might bring.
We just went through a presidential campaign, and much of the rhetoric suggested the U.S. economy was in dire shape. It certainly isn't bursting at the seams with growth and opportunity, but it isn't as hobbled as some might suggest, which may indicate a stronger 2013 than many expect.
Eurostat, the statistical office of the European Union, published a comparison last month of growth rates for various countries. Looking at growth in the third quarter of 2012 compared with the same quarter the previous year, the U.S. came out on top, with a growth rate of 2.3% (which has since been revised upward to 2.7% by the U.S. Commerce Department). Compare this to Germany, which grew 0.9%; Spain, whose economy contracted by 1.6%; France, whose economy expanded by a paltry 0.1%; Italy, which experienced negative growth of 2.4%; the U.K., which had no growth; and Japan, which grew 0.2%. The U.S.'s growth rate certainly is not high, nor is it at an acceptable rate since we still need to fully recover from the Great Recession, but compared to what is going on in other advanced industrialized countries, we are not doing too badly.
Job growth is a major issue, and there are increasingly positive signs. The Wall Street Journal last week reported that the construction industry lost about 2.2 million jobs in the housing bust, but only 58,000 jobs have been added since the housing bottom in January 2011. Yet the Journal says that "as the housing market starts to help lift the economy, construction looks poised to become a job creator in coming months." This optimism is built on a foundation that includes an increasing number of building permits issued and the lengthening of the average workweek for many construction workers to its longest since 2006, suggesting construction companies will soon have to start hiring new workers and instead of adding hours to those already on the payroll.
Even more significant is the ongoing slide in the unemployment rate to its current 7.7%, more than 2 percentage points below its level two years ago. Yes, the unemployment rate is still too high, but it has been showing real progress at being drawn down.
At the same time, personal income and expenditures are on the way up. On an inflation-adjusted basis, incomes and expenditures rose 0.8% and 0.6%, respectively (9.6% and 7.2% annualized), which Robert Johnson, writing on Morningstar's website, called "stunning" and noted was better than most observers had expected. Statistics from The Wall Street Journal support the idea that consumer expenditures are on an uptick that is likely to continue. The Journal notes that payments on household debt "are at their lowest level in decades, which is helping paychecks stretch further." Debt consumed 10.6% of Americans' after-tax income in the third quarter, the lowest level since 1983. People are not borrowing as much as they did, and have spent the last several years paring down the debt they had.
For the stock market, these are positive signs. More spending power, more jobs and more economic growth point to a solid business climate and improved profitability, which suggests the market could perform well in 2013.
Not everything is rosy, of course. The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development in late November cut its forecast for the developed world to 1.4% for 2013, down from a prediction of 2.2% just six months earlier. The U.S. is not an island, so what happens elsewhere in the world affects it. Right now, the health of the world economy is worrisome.
The fiscal cliff is another concern, as the government-spending reduction was kicked down the road another couple of months, but, from my contrarian point of view, that seems likely to be resolved before any real damage is done to the economy.
Without a crystal ball, I can't tell you how the economy and the market will perform this year. Both could certainly be derailed by a global recession or political gridlock in Washington, as well as events we cannot foresee. But right now, the indicators are generally positive and I expect 2013 has a good chance of providing a positive climate for investors.

Peguero likely to be placed on disabled list
SARASOTA, Fla. -- Orioles outfielder Francisco Peguero is expected to open the season on the disabled list. Peguero has been dealing with a right wrist injury that hasn't gotten better, and he will be fitted for a brace for the next two weeks.
"Just want to let it completely heal," manager Buck Showalter said. "He's got acute tendinitis; [that's] how they put it. I think we're going to try to get that managed. I think that kind of takes him out of the picture for Opening Day."
The 25-year-old hit .267 (4-for-15) with a triple and three RBIs in six spring games.
Peguero will likely join pitcher Edgmer Escalona, who was shut down earlier this month with right shoulder inflammation.

Former Crystal Palace striker James Vaughan piled the pressure on Ian Holloway by hitting the only goal of the night at the John Smith's Stadium.
The Terriers' 1-0 win was their first in 13 Championship games, while the Eagles' concerning run of League form now stretches to just two wins in 12 games.
Moreover, Palace have managed just four goals in six January games, including a Glenn Murray penalty, whereas December's record stood at 11 goals in six games.
Vaughan, who made 30 appearances for Palace while on loan from Everton scoring nine goals, grabbed the decisive goal on 65 minutes beating Julian Speroni with for his fifth goal of the season.
Holloway replaced new boy Jazz Richards and Jonathan Parr with Aaron Wilbraham and Jermaine Easter in an effort to grab an equaliser – however, despite Easter flashing a header wide, there was to be no salvage operation.
There was controversy at the final whistle when an apparent tunnel bust-up between Palace skipper Mile Jedinak and the Terriers' late substitute, and former Palace favourite, Alan Lee left Jedinak nursing an eye injury.
Holloway was so incensed with the alleged incident he declined to take part in the normal post-match press conference.
Palace now turn their attention to Saturday's London derby with Charlton Athletic at Selhurst Park – after the small matter of the January transfer window is done and dusted.

After winning the Great Hot Dog Cookoff in 2009, Nick Suarez went on to beat Bobby Flay in an epic Hot Dog Throwdown and hasn't looked back. This weekend, Nick returns to compete in the 6th Annual Hot Dog Cookoff in Brooklyn, NY with his newest creation, a riff on the classic chili cheese dog. Nick shares his secrets for building a winning hot dog recipe.
Yesterday I shared my strategy for how to win a cookoff. Today I'm revealing my secrets for building a winning hot dog recipe.
One of the keys to success is creating a balance of flavor in your dish. You must create the perfect bite. Apply these tips for a cookoff, or the dogs at your next family BBQ.
1) Start by Finding the Right Mix of Dog and Bun
This is one of the most important steps of the process. Buy a bunch of different buns and franks and do a taste test. Top-sliced buns are great because you can grill both sides and get the bun extra toasty, although their size limits the amount of toppings you can put on the dog. I like potato rolls because they can hold up to the weight and moistness of chili without falling apart. Plus, they have a thick, doughy nature, so I'll be using them this weekend at the cookoff.
I always use a natural casing beef hot dog, because I like the snap that comes when you bite into it. I prefer a salty, juicy hot dog, but one that isn't too garlicky or heavily spiced.
Now the fun begins with the toppings. Hot dogs are versatile, because you can literally put anything on a hot dog. Meat, cheese, vegetables, fruits — you name it. I find there are a few distinct aspects of flavor that can elevate your hot dog to another level, and hopefully score you a win.
2) Find a Creamy Sauce or Condiment
This will bring your dog together. Avocado, ketchup, mayo, mustard or any kind of sauce adds a smooth textural element to the hot dog. I'll be making a special sauce of mayonnaise, ketchup, herbs and lemon to apply to the the bun. It will also act as a liquid-proof barrier, so the bun doesn't get soggy from my ultimate secret weapon, a special chili I'm finishing the dog with.
3) Add a Crunchy, Crispy Topping
When deciding on your toppings, texture is super important. Anything that adds crispness or crunch to the dog will help balance the softness of the bun and dog. Good examples are crushed potato chips, coleslaw, dehydrated and fried items. This year, I'll be topping my dog with deep-fried slices of jalapeño and a simple coleslaw of thinly sliced cabbage.
4) Don't Forget an Acid Flavor
All great hot dogs feature some sort of acidic item, like pickles or any other pickled item. This helps balance the saltiness and cuts through the fat in the meat of the dog. I'll be making quick pickles with cucumbers, sugar, salt and rice wine vinegar.
5) Surprise Yourself
I'm topping the whole thing with my secret homemade chili, and a fondue sauce of assorted cheeses that pare well with my other flavors.
At the end of the day, just have fun finding the right mix of ingredients for you. The hot dog is really just a blank canvas, and serves as a vessel for any ingredient imaginable, even non-traditional ones. The number one rule for all cookoffs is to have fun.
Taste Nick's dog and 22 other competing hot dogs this weekend at the 6th Annual Great Hot Dog Cookoff in Brooklyn, NY. Proceeds benefit Food Bank of New York, a 28-year-old non-profit working to end food poverty throughout the five boroughs.

WEATHER totally devastated the weekend's Taunton & District league fixture list, with only one game being played on grass at Exmoor, and three further games played were on the 3G artificial pitch at Castle School.
Highbridge Town thrashed bottom side North Petherton 6-0 in Division One thanks to braces from Wayne Hand and Chris Taylor.
Mike Green added a fifth and own goal gifted Highbridge their sixth.
It was a similar story in the Seward Cup with top third division side Tone Youth beating lower placed North Petherton Reserves 9-1, thanks to a hat-trick from Kieran Wyatt.
Tone should have been ahead early doors but squandered a penalty, before Alec Jones then broke the deadlock. Dean Iserna then scored a wonder goal.
Wyatt soon went on to complete his hat trick - and Joe Jones (2), Alec Jones and Gary Shier rounded off the scoring.
In Division Four, Exmoor Rangers beat Rhode Lane Wanderers 4-1 at Wheddon Cross.
Gareth Hoyle netted twice for Rangers - Jimmy Baker and Herc Ashworth added one each.
Matt Parker replied for Wanderers.
Staplegrove Colts pipped Galmington Dragons Reserves 3-2 on the artificial surface at Castle School to keep the pressure up on Division Five's leading sides.
This was a classic encounter of youth versus experience, Grove only having three youngsters in their side, with the rest at the other end of their exulted careers.
Dragons fielded a youthful team still learning their trade at adult level.
It always looked a close game on paper and it was with some streetwise set piece play and a touch of naïve defending from both teams allowing Staplegrove to just come out on top 3-2.
Dragons started the livelier trying to keep the ball and play it around on the deck and happily soaking up the long balls which the home team kept lumping forward with little effect.
But loose marking allowed Grove striker Ian Bishop to sneak in at the back post from a Jason Quick cross and put his side ahead.
That seemed to give his side confidence and roles were reversed with them playing the better football and Galmington themselves then resorting to playing the ball in the air for an extended period.
Everything changed from a goal kick though when a lovely headed flick on by Dragons attacking midfielder Dave Brawn saw Danny Skyner spring the offside trap before coolly slotting past the keeper's outstretched left hand.
Galmington then took the lead from a free kick awarded wide on the left after Skyner had been upended by a Grove centre back desperate not to let him see goal again.
Jonny Limm delivered a wonderful curling ball to the back post which continued all the way unchallenged and untouched into the top right hand corner which the keeper failed to catch.
The linesman flagged for offside as three Dragons strikers had run forward before the ball was kicked and he considered them to then become active, but the referee decided that they were not interfering with play and allowed the goal.
After the break, Staplegrove came out again knocking the ball around well and equalised when a throw in was tamely allowed to bounce in the Dragons area and the visitors were too slow to react when Ian Bishop controlled with back to goal, swivelled and scored.
Grove then took the lead from another well worked approach, when Peter Horton was once more left unmarked at the back post to slot home the winner.

D-backs beat Giants in familiar fashion
Giants get game-tying homer in ninth before Arizona wins in extras
SAN FRANCISCO -- A blown lead, one-run game -- there really was no other way for this road trip to end for the D-backs.
The D-backs' 3-2 win over the Giants in 10 innings Wednesday afternoon capped a three-city trip that included a stop in New York to face the Yankees, Denver and finally San Francisco.
Arizona finished 4-5 on the trip, which featured five one-run games, a pair of two-run games and two extra-inning contests. There was some inclement weather and an early-morning arrival mixed in. All in all, the D-backs outscored their opponents 33-32
"We were in every game," outfielder Cody Ross said. "We could have come out a few times ahead. But that's baseball, and 4-5, it doesn't sound good but we played well, especially later. We struggled against New York early and then won the last one. Then struggled against Colorado and then all three of these games were obviously really close."
The D-backs blew an eighth-inning lead and lost in the ninth in the opener of the series with the Giants, and then Tuesday they coughed up a lead in the ninth before winning in the 11th.
Wednesday, D-backs starter Ian Kennedy and his counterpart Madison Bumgarner locked up in a pitchers' duel that kept the game scoreless through the first six innings.
The Giants scored first on Brandon Crawford's RBI double in the seventh and the D-backs tied the game in the eighth on A.J. Pollock's RBI single.
The D-backs took a 2-1 lead in the ninth when, with two outs, Didi Gregorius hit a blooper to center that dropped in for a hit, and when Angel Pagan took his time getting the ball into the infield, Gregorius stretched the single to a double.
The Giants then intentionally walked Cliff Pennington and Gerardo Parra delivered a line-drive single to center to give the D-backs a 2-1 lead.
With closer J.J. Putz, who had blown two saves on the trip including one Tuesday night, unavailable due to his recent workload, the D-backs turned the lead over to David Hernandez.
It didn't last long as Crawford hit a 1-2 curveball over the wall in right to tie things up.
"It wasn't a good pitch," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "You don't want to throw a breaking ball down and in to a left-hander in this park or any park, and the count was even in his favor. That's not where he was trying to throw it. To be fair to our pitchers, the Giants made a few mistakes, too, their pitchers. That's just the game of baseball."
"Hernandez throws 95, so obviously I had to be ready for the fastball," Crawford said. "Just got the barrel out there for the slider."
The D-backs scored again in the 10th when Paul Goldschmidt drew a one-out walk off Chad Gaudin, and he moved to third when Cody Ross followed with a double to right.
The Giants then intentionally walked Miguel Montero and brought in left-hander Javier Lopez to face left-handed pinch-hitter Eric Chavez. The D-backs then sent up the right-handed-hitting Wil Nieves, who was the last position player left on the bench.
"I had to do it," Gibson said. "Lopez is very tough on left-handers -- [Nieves] did a good job, right approach, and he succeeded."
Nieves lifted a fly ball to center to score Goldschmidt with what proved to be the winner.
"We have a sinkerball guy that we're trying to get him to throw the ball up so I can just hit a fly ball to the outfield and that's all I was thinking," Nieves said. "Just stay closed with my front shoulder and follow the ball the whole way and just don't try to do too much. Just hit a fly ball to the outfield and get one run and I stuck with the plan and it worked."
Left-hander Matt Reynolds, who picked up his first Major League save in his 174th career appearance Tuesday, retired the Giants in the bottom half of the 10th to pick up save No. 2.
"It's really pretty exciting," Reynolds said. "Until last night I had never even been in a save situation like that. So it's fun, your heart gets beating, the adrenaline is going and here too with the crowd and the atmosphere that they have it makes it a lot of fun."
And no matter how long the trip, or how many more wins they could have ended up with had they held leads better, the D-backs were all smiles leaving San Francisco.
"It's been pretty crazy," Ross said. "All the extra-inning games -- tough games at that. But it feels good to win two out of three against these guys and head home on a positive note."

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - While the drama isn't there this year, the excitement still is on National Signing Day for high school athletes all across north Florida and south Georgia.
Most of the top football players have either graduated early and are attending college already (for spring practice) or are firm commitments to the schools of their choice.
The one announcement everybody was waiting on was from Reggie Northrup of First Coast High School. Northrup was considered perhaps the best defensive player in the area and surprised quite a few people when he opened up his shirt and revealed that he was going to Florida State.
Northrup's commitment already makes the 'Noles signing class formidable.
Signing started early Wednesday morning at First Coast, Baker County, Fleming Island, University Christian, Atlantic Coast and other schools.
Bolles held their ceremony in the afternoon, with Georgia recruit John Theus signing his letter of intent. Theus was considered one of the top offensive linemen in the country. The Bulldogs' John Heck is headed to Chapel Hill and Brooks Abbott will play at Virginia Tech.
Clay, Episcopal, Bishop Kenny, Trinity and others also held afternoon ceremonies.
First Coast had eight signings and Baker County had three, including Thomas Sirk to Duke and Kendrick Signleton to North Carolina. Fleming Island had nine seniors sign, six for football and three for soccer, including Franz Claudio staying home to play for Jacksonville University.
University Christian is sending Dwayne Norman to Duke, and Hilliard's Marcus Allen is headed to Georgia Tech, as expected.
Clay's class of three has Will Holden going to Vandy, Caleb Slat to Princeton and Dez Williams to JU. Bishop Kenny's John Wolford headed a class of four for the Crusaders, headed to Boston College as expected. Episcopal's Shakeel Rasheed and Erich Schneider are staying in the ACC, going to UNC and Duke, respectively.
As good as they were this year, it's no surprise Bartram trail is sending five players to play at the next level, headed by QB Nathan Peterman to Tennessee. Creekside had two signees as well, sending one player to Kentucky, the other to Air Force.
Florida, Florida State, Georgia sign top classes
The Gators did not have any big surprises, but did reveal that Skyler Mornhinweg has committed to Florida. Mornhingweg, the son of former NFL head coach Marty Mornhinweg is a 6-3, 205-pound quarterback out of Pennsylvania who had verbally committed to Penn State. But after a visit to Gainesville, he said he thought Florida was a "better fit."
After missing on a few recruits Wednesday morning, Florida received some good news with a commitment from defensive end Dante Fowler Jr. of Lakewood High School in St. Petersburg. He had been committed to FSU but announced Wednesday morning that he'll be a Gator.
Florida has lost out on Mainland DE Leonard Williams, who decided to go to Southern Cal. WR Nelson Agholor from Tampa Berkeley also spurned the Gators and picked the Trojans. Agholor is considered the second best recruit in the state.
Meanwhile, FSU did sign a strong defensive line class including Eddie Goldman from Washington D.C. DT Mario Edwards also stuck with the Seminoles, giving them three of the top five DLs in the country. Jimbo Fisher also reached into Texas for cornerback Colin Blake. Blake decided on Tallahassee after rejecting Oklahoma and others.
Georgia received a commitment from Josh-Harvey Clemons, meaning the top recruit from Lowndes High School will stay at home. He picked the 'Dogs over Florida and Florida State. Clemons was the No. 1 target for Mark Richt and company, and at 6 feet 4 inches tall and 210 pounds, he's expected to be an impact player right away.
Strangest thing I've heard of so far today? Justin Taylor was committed to Alabama, but at the last second, one of the top RBs in Atlanta switched to Kentucky and signed with the Wildcats. Kentucky? Over Alabama? Big win for them.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Gasoline prices are up more than 20 cents from last week at Ohio pumps.
The state's average price for regular gas was $3.66 in Monday's survey from auto club AAA, the Oil Price Information Service and Wright Express. That's up 21 cents from the average of $3.45 per gallon a week ago.
Drivers were paying an average of about $3.34 at this time last year, before prices climbed to record highs. Some analysts believe gas prices may hit new highs in the next few months.
A spike in gas prices is normal in spring, but it came earlier than usual this year in large part because of world fears that the growing confrontation with Iran will crimp oil supplies.
