Inland fisheries are vital for the livelihoods and food resources of humans worldwide but their importance is underestimated, probably because large numbers of small, local operators are involved.
Freshwater Fisheries Ecology defines what we have globally, what we are going to lose and mitigate for, and what, given the right tools, we can save. To estimate potential production, the dynamics of freshwater ecosystems (rivers, lakes and estuaries) need to be understood. These dynamics are diverse, as are the Earth's freshwater fisheries resources (from boreal to tropical regions), and these influence how fisheries are both utilized and abused. Three main types of fisheries are illustrated within the book: artisanal, commercial and recreational, and the tools which have evolved for fisheries governance and management, including assessment methods, are described.
Freshwater Fisheries Ecology also covers in detail fisheries development, providing information on improving fisheries through environmental and habitat evaluation, enhancement and rehabilitation, aquaculture, genetically modified fishes and sustainability. The book thoroughly reviews the negative impacts on fisheries including excessive harvesting, climate change, toxicology, impoundments, barriers and abstractions, non-native species and eutrophication. Finally, key areas of future research are outlined.
Freshwater Fisheries Ecology is truly a landmark publication, containing contributions from over 100 leading experts and supported by the Fisheries Society of the British Isles. The global approach makes this book essential reading for fish biologists, fisheries scientists and ecologists and upper level students in these disciplines. Libraries in all universities and research establishments where biological and fisheries sciences are studied and taught should have multiple copies of this hugely valuable resource.

Red Thai Curry Chicken Stir-Fry
Be the first to review
READY IN: 27mins
Recipe by Tracy Lee
Not your typical soupy Thai curry. I "ad-libbed" this, just adding some red Thai curry paste to an otherwise typical stir-fry. It was hot, spicy and, for us, very yummy. I always use Mae Ploy brand curry paste - I find it the most authentic and flavoursome.
See Discussion:
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (less if using non-stick pan)
- 450 g chicken thighs, cut into bite size pieces
- 2 bell peppers (any colour, sliced)
- 1 small red onion, chopped
- 1 red chili pepper, chopped
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1⁄4 cup water
- 25 g Thai red curry paste
- 2 teaspoons Thai fish sauce (nahm plah)
Directions See How It's Made
- Heat your pan or pot, and spray lightly with olive oil.
- Remove excess fat and skin from chicken (don't be overly diligent - a little fat is useful in the cooking!) and cut into bite-size pieces. Set aside.
- Add chopped onion and hot chili pepper to the pre-heated pan; cook on high heat until onion is slightly soft (1 to 2 minutes).
- Add carrot, cut into thick Julienne strips.
- Add the curry paste, and stir-fry well.
- Add water to help dissolve and mix the curry paste. The heat from the pan will evaporate the water quickly, but it still loosens up the paste.
- Add the chicken and bell peppers (cut lengthwise).
- Stir frequently; make sure all the paste is dissolved. The oil from the chicken should help this, too.
- Add Thai fish sauce.
- When the meat is thoroughly cooked, remove from heat.
- Serve on a bed of Jasmin or Basmati rice, or other rice of your choice.

Hello All!
Its the start of my Weekend and its promising to be another busy one. This weekend I shall be baking so the kids could have some treats to take for the teachers.
Errands to run that will keep us busy and before I notice it will be Monday again. For today I thought I'd share a few cards I had made for a submission call but sadly none were picked up so I have eye candy to share. The stamp set I used is from Kim Hughes. She just opened up a new company called Paper Smooches. This one is called Falling for You.
What I love about these stamps is I get to color my little heart off! Here are a few of the cards I made :
Yeah I am loving that little dude Ha.. just too cute don't you think? I love how you can make him look more "Monster" looking with the colors you choose or more of a sweet cutie! Love it.
This set has loads of images to get you giggling and I'll be sharing more throughout the week what I made with it. With these I leave you and wish you a wonderful weekend.
As always thank you so much for stopping by!

Columbus Day!
Happy Columbus Day!
As usual, we are observing Columbus Day, as this is a celebrated National Holiday. We will not be publishing our normally informative articles today.
By Newsmax
Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton clashed sharply on which presidential candidate has the tougher plan to rein in the excesses of Wall Street, putting financial reform at the center of a gripping and, at times, passionate first Democratic debate.
"My plan is more comprehensive and frankly it's tougher," Clinton said, referring to Wall Street reform proposals offered by Sanders.
Sanders quickly responded: "Not true."
Clinton continued that shadow banking is the next area of potential concern and that "you may be missing the forest for the trees" by targeting big banks, as Sanders and O'Malley have urged. Her administration would not only give regulators authority to go after big banks, they may also pursue "sending the executives to jail" if needed, she said.
Sanders said the 2016 presidential election is about "whether we can mobilize our people to take back our government from a handful of billionaires" and said Americans will vote for a democratic socialist—how he describes himself—if they understand what it means and that he is not part of the "casino capitalist process."
Between clashes over policy, there was also a moment of camaraderie between the former secretary of state and the senator, as Sanders sided with her over the scrutiny of the private e-mail account she used while at the State Department. "The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn e-mails," he said. Clinton responded by extending her hand toward Sanders, who grabbed it and shook it. Read More..
Happy Columbus Day!

Ben Carson: Obama 'Would've Had a Seizure' If Oregon Gunman Killed Muslims – Newsmax … "Dr. Ben Carson says President Barack Obama would have suffered a 'seizure' if the gunman who targeted Christians as he shot up an Oregon college last week had singled out Muslims instead. 'He would've had a seizure over it,' Carson told Steve Malzberg in an exclusive interview that aired Tuesday on Newmax TV. 'Remember, he's been very reticent to mention Christians in the Middle East who are being massacred as well.'"
"'I'm not sure why he has so much trouble actually articulating the words. It does make you wonder a little bit.' In the Oregon tragedy, Chris Harper-Mercer, 26, reportedly asked his victims if they were Christians before executing his English professor and eight students at Umpqua Community College in rural Roseburg."
Pennsylvania Governor Calls For 16 Percent Increase on State Income Tax – Daily Caller … "Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf released his budget plan Tuesday which calls for steep tax hikes in an attempt to balance the budget without major spending cuts. The Democrat's proposal includes a 16 percent increase in the state income tax, changing the rate from 3.07 percent to 3.57 percent, which the governor says would not impact seniors since it doesn't affect retirement income. The administration says, if passed, the plan would raise $1.4 billion in the current fiscal year and an addition $2.4 by the time the 2017 fiscal year is completed."
"In addition to closing the $1.2 structural deficit in the Keystone state, it would allocate $400 million in funds toward the education system. 'Despite the fact that the majority of hard-working Pennsylvanians cannot afford Gov. Wolf's massive tax and spending plans, he continues to push for them,' Pennsylvania Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati said in a statement. 'Not once – but twice now – the General Assembly has met our constitutional obligation to pass a balanced budget, yet Gov. Wolf refused to sign them because they didn't include his billions of dollars of tax increases.'"
U.S. Government Provides Citizenship Test Study Guides In Spanish – Daily Caller … "Immigrants looking to become naturalized U.S. citizens can now study for the civics portion of the test in Spanish, courtesy of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. Aspiring citizens can find study sheets, flash cards and audio tools in Spanish at USCIS.gov to help them prepare for the 100-question civics test, which must be taken in English. 'Prepare for your naturalization test – take our interactive Quizzes in Spanish!' a separate October USCIS blog post promoting the material says. Complete interactive tests in Spanish and other languages are on the way."
"The Obama administration is in the midst of a massive push to market citizenship to immigrants and refugees ahead of the 2016 election. The White House Task Force on New Americans, created by executive order in 2014, is behind a series of new initiatives aimed at ensuring they have the tools, support and encouragement they need to apply for citizenship."
EDITOR'S COMMENT: As we discussed over a year ago, it was obvious to everyone who wasn't an Obama fanatic that Obama's supposed 'strategy' was actually 'no strategy' at all or a delaying strategy, that had no intention whatsoever of trying to defeat ISIS, as confirmed by the recent resignation of John Allen, Obama's "war czar," who quit in disgust because of micromanaging from his national security aides. Of course, these unqualified aides and political hacks were not acting independently, but were following Obama's and Susan Rice's directions.
By Rick Moran
When you pretend to fight a war, the results are predictable; failure.
A very sharp analysis of the Syrian situation from the New York Observer's John Schindler who lays out a case that Russian influence in the Middle East is on the rise while America's is being frittered away by the incompetents at the White House.
How incompetent?
The forces Mr. Putin has just deployed to Syria are impressive, veteran special operators backed by a wing of fighters and ground attack jets that are expected to commence air strikes on Assad's foes soon. They are backed by air defense units, which is puzzling since the Islamic State has no air force, indicating that the Kremlin's true intent in Syria has little to do with the stated aim of fighting terrorism and is really about propping up Russia's longtime client in Damascus.
The White House is left planning "deconfliction" with Moscow—which is diplomatic language for entreating Russians, who now dominate Syrian airspace, not to shoot down American drones, which provide the lion's share of our intelligence on the Islamic State. The recent meeting on Syrian developments between Mr. Putin and Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who clearly finds dealing with the Russian strongman preferable to parleying with President Obama, indicates where power is flowing in today's Middle East.

Nobel Panel Saw Obama Peace Prize as 'Mistake,' New Book Claims – Washington Times … "The former director of Norway's Nobel Institute revealed this week that he regrets the committee's decision to give the 2009 Nobel Peace award to President Obama. Geil Lundestad, director at the institute for 25 years, said in his just-published memoir that he and the committee had unanimously decided to grant the award to Mr. Obama just after his election in 2009 more in hopes of aiding the American president to achieve his goals on nuclear disarmament, rather than in recognition of what Mr. Obama had already accomplished. Looking back over Mr. Obama's presidency, Mr. Lundestad said, granting him the award did not fulfill the committee's expectations."
"'Even many of Obama's supporters thought that the prize was a mistake,' Mr. Lundestad said. In the book, he expressed regret that the decision had been based in a hope for the future rather than recognition of past accomplishments, and that their expectations for Mr. Obama were not fulfilled."
TrumpMania: GOP Debate Sets CNN Ratings Record – Breitbart … "Regardless of how well you think Republican frontrunner Donald Trump performed at Wednesday night's CNN debate, there is no question he is generating unprecedented interest and excitement. Last night CNN earned its highest ratings ever. I could make a joke here about that not being a high bar but the network wasn't always a ratings failure and that makes this record rather remarkable."
"This kind of sustained interest and excitement is good for the overall Party. Now that the RNC has taken some control over these debates, the process is not the horror show it was last time. By September of 2012, there had already been around a dozen debates and 200 questions that were designed only to keep Obama in the White House."
Interior Secretary Refuses To Testify On EPA Toxic Mine Spill – Daily Caller … "Secretary of the Interior Sally Jewell is refusing to testify before Congress about her department's ongoing investigation of the massive toxic mine spill caused by EPA workers last month. Despite an invitation Republican lawmakers to get Jewell to come before the committee Thursday to testify on the Interior's investigation, the former CEO of REI has declined. Instead, Jewell's staffers sent an unsigned statement to House lawmakers. 'Despite nearly every one of its agencies having jurisdiction over lands impacted by the spill and responsibilities to uphold for impacted communities, including tribes, Interior has been nearly invisible in the wake of the spill,' Wyoming Republican Rep. Cynthia Lummis told The Daily Caller News Foundation in an emailed statement."
"The Interior Department has been tasked with releasing a technical report on the EPA-caused mine spill in August where agency contractors accidentally unleashed 3 million gallons of wastewater into Colorado's Animas River. But the department has largely been silent on its probe into the Gold King Mine spill. Interior told House lawmakers they "would be happy to provide the [lawmakers] with a briefing of that report after its release," according to the statement to the House provided to TheDCNF by the department. Their response has only frustrated lawmakers. 'Right now, the public is being left in the dark. Refusing to appear before the committees and failing to even offer to send a representative on the department's behalf is deeply concerning.'"
COMMENT: Once again, one should ask why the Republican leadership is being so kind to the Secretary of the Interior by issuing an "invite to appear" before their committee. They should and still can issue a subpoena for her to appear, as part of their efforts to get tough with these various Obama administration minions, particularly those, who have lied or caused substantial damage!
James Dale Davidson: Current Global Crash Is a 'Rerun of 1929' – Newsmax … "The current global stock-market crash is eerily reminiscent of the Wall Street crash of 1929, investment expert and author James Dale Davidson told Newsmax TV. 'What we're seeing, if I could say it this way, is a rerun of 1929 with the main crash falling in Shanghai rather than in Wall Street,' he told 'Newsmax Prime.' 'If you're not scared, you're not watching,' he said. 'Since the last time I was on Newsmax TV on the 11th of August to discuss the Chinese devaluation, which was a small step, I said it was only the beginning of a major change that was going on. And since that time, $5 trillion have gone to money heaven, which is a significant change,' he said."
"As to what to expect in the future, he explained that the answer can be found in the past. Specifically, the Wall Street crash of 1929. 'If you look back at these economic crises and stock market collapses that are associated with depressions, the first stage is what we've already seen, which is the big fall off in commodity prices,' he said. 'We're into this same kind of cycle as it relates to the collapse of world demand, the fact that we've had commodity prices plunging,' he said. 'If you go back to December of 2011, the price of iron was $190 a metric ton. Now it's down to $44. We remember the price of oil being up at $140 some dollars and now it's the low $40,' he said. 'This is a very significant indication of weakness in the global economy.'"
As Stocks Melt Trump Tweets: America Is Too Tied to China – Breitbart … "As the American stock market opened to lows unseen since the 2008 economic meltdown, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump took to Twitter to refresh his longstanding political message that the American economy allows 'China and Asia to dictate the agenda.' 'As I have long stated, we are so tied in with China and Asia that their markets are now taking the U.S. market down. Get smart U.S.A.'; 'When people start losing their savings & home value, they will be begging Trump to fix the economy.'"
"Regardless of how this stock day ends, this startling reminder that 'so goes China, so goes America' is bound to unsettle many Americans and play into Trump's decades-long message about our country being too reliant on China and other countries."
Biden Would Have WH Largely 'Rooting for Him' Over Hillary – Politico … "In interviews, current and former White House staffers say that as Biden has ratcheted up the seriousness of his explorations, including having aides reach out to former top political operatives for President Barack Obama to gauge interest, the situation looks very different from when they'd been assuming she'd be the only real Democratic candidate in 2016. They had convinced themselves that she could be the heir to Obama and the one to protect his legacy, and they were excited about it. A Biden run would upend that."
"'I don't know what the official line will be,' said one West Wing staffer, 'but you will have a lot of people in the building rooting for him.' 'Even if their mind is with Clinton,' the staffer added, reflecting feelings of others heard in the White House, 'their heart is with the vice president.' It's not so much lingering animosity against Clinton from the 2008 campaign that's dividing loyalties, but the intense affection so many of them have developed for Biden as part of Obama's team, and the personal connection he's formed with so many of them."

Latest Melbourne shoot http://www.laymond.com/?section=latest-work
Interested in bridal and fashion shoots. Random locations welcome, I'll 'freestyle' and get you good images wherever we are.
I've been an editorial photographer for a few years specialised in male portraiture, but recently got into wedding photography. I'm working on my skills to become one of the best in the field, and this involves many skills, among which the ability to make any bride the star of the day. After all a bride is just a girl in a white dress, so it's yet another opportunity to slip in a fashion shoot into the schedule.
As I gain experience I will need MUAs, hair stylists and stylists for some paid shoot, and I'd rather work with people on a TFCD basis beforehand to know we can work well together as a team.
I do little TFCD work but if you have an idea you'll like to discuss, you are welcome to get in touch.
If you like my work, as a favour could you please like my Wedding page, http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ananby-Wedding-Photography/195828423872085, I'll be using it soon it would be lovely to get a few people there. Thank you so much for doing this! xx

A sweet musical about love
Updated 12:57 pm, Wednesday, October 12, 2016
Featuring sweet, metaphor-rich lyrics by Tom Jones — "Smell how the velvet rain is falling" or "This plum is too ripe!" — "The Fantasticks" runs for just a few weeks in an OMG! I Love That Show production at the Lesher Center, but its original production is the longest-running musical in history. Written in 1960, it ran for 42 years off-Broadway, at the Sullivan Street Playhouse, on a set that cost just $900. As of 2010, the show had earned its investors more than a 24,000 percent return.
A big part of the show's success is the simple innocence of its plot: Next-door neighbors Hucklebee (Jim Rupp) and Bellomy (Venis Goodman) scheme to get their children Matt (Cameron Burrill) and Luisa (Catherine Bartomeo) to fall in love.
For OMG! I Love That Show Productions, Alexis Lazear directs the eight-person cast.
— Lily Janiak
"The Fantasticks": 8:15 p.m. Friday-Saturday, Oct. 14-15; 2:15 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 16. Through Oct. 30. $39-$42. Lesher Center for the Arts, 1601 Civic Drive, Walnut Creek. (925) 943-7469. www.omgilovethatshow.com

Yami Gautham, who started her career with Kannada movie Ullasa Utsaha starring Golden Star Ganesh, had an awkward moment at an award function recently. She perilously came close to a rather embarrassing wardrobe malfunction.
Posing for the camera in a strapless black shimmery gown, Yami Gautham made a stunning appearance at Zee Cine Awards 2012. The dress perfectly showed her svelte figure and she was millimetres away from suffering a major faux pas.
Reports say that the actress made sure that she was centre of attention by wearing the glamourous outfit and she was fairly close to having the wardrobe malfunction but she escaped the embarrassment.
Yami Gautham was present at the Zee Cine Awards, which was held at Yashraj Studios, Mumbai, on January 6.

Roberto Cavalli's dress almost slipped when she posed for cameras but luck was on her side.
Yami Gautham
A couple of months ago, Yami Gautham had a similar situation at India International Jewellery Week IIJW 2012. Like this time too, she evaded the embarrassing moment.

However, Yami Gautham is currently busy with multiple projects in different industries.

I just popped into Hayle estuary, Cornwall, the other week after ringing at Marazion Marsh (standard monitoring for Aquatic Warblers, but all we caught were Sedge and Reed). Since moving down to the southwest a few weeks ago, this is the first time I'd really grilled the gulls here, so I was pleasantly surprised to find a colour-ringed Herring Gull, with a combination (A3WY) that looked a bit familiar.
It turns out this was a bird rehabilitated by RSPCA and colour-ringed on release. I'm more used to seeing these on the beach at Hastings begging for chips! It had been picked up unable to walk back in June 2009 and after a few weeks R&R was released at West Hatch, near Taunton, Somerset. So it was good to see it back in its native Cornwall, looking healthy and happy again!
Thanks to RSPCA for the quick return of details of this bird, and it just goes to show that even the commonest birds can have interesting stories. So do keep an eye out for colour-ringed birds, and report them to the BTO.

Anyone with doubts about the Yankees and their commitment to the youth movement need not look beyond the rotation. Rather than bring in outside help over the winter, even a innings eating veteran on a one-year contract, the Yankees are planning to go with their young starting pitchers in 2017. They're taking a leap of faith.
Four young starters are vying for two rotation spots this spring: Luis Cessa, Chad Green, Bryan Mitchell, and Luis Severino. We still don't know which way the team is leaning â?? "I would say (no one is ahead). I think we're going to have some long meetings about this," said Joe Girardi over the weekend â?? though I get the feeling Severino came into Spring Training as a favorite for one spot.
Regardless of who gets the two rotation spots on Opening Day, history suggests the Yankees will need all four of these guys to make starts at some point. The Yankees haven't used fewer than eight starters in a season since the strike-shortened 1994 season, when they used seven. They've averaged slightly more than ten starters per season the last three years. So yeah, the depth is good. Let's preview these four young arms.
Luis Cessa
What does he have the others don't? A fourth pitch and a ton of athleticism. Cessa, 25 in April, is a former shortstop and his athleticism is evident in his easy, repeatable delivery. More importantly, Cessa throws four distinct pitches. We saw all of them last season during his big league debut. Setting aside his eight relief outings last season, here are the numbers from Cessa's nine starts (MLB averages in parentheses):
|% Thrown
|Avg Velo
|95.0 (92.1)
|5.7% (6.9%)
|35.0% (37.9%)
|85.4 (84.3)
|21.8% (15.2%)
|66.0% (43.9%)
|80.2 (77.1)
|4.8% (11.1%)
|50.0% (48.7%)
|85.0 (93.7)
|13.3% (14.9%)
|40.0% (47.8%)
The slider was Cessa's go-to secondary pitch, but he also threw his curveball and changeup roughly 10% of the time each, so the four-pitch mix is there. As a result, his platoon split was relatively small: lefty batters had a .324 wOBA against him while righties had a .311 wOBA. None of the other rotation candidates threw four pitches as often as Cessa, and I don't think any of them are as consistently in sync with their delivery as well.
Also, in the age of pitch counts, I should note Cessa was incredibly pitch efficient last year. He averaged only 14.7 pitches per inning and 3.69 pitches per plate appearance as a starter in 2016. The MLB averages are 16.8 and 3.95, respectively. Cessa managed to complete at least five innings in all nine of his starts while throwing 85+ pitches only three times.
What's holding him back? A lack of strikeouts and #toomanyhomers, more than anything. Even with a slider that rated as well-above-average in swing-and-miss rate and ground ball rate, Cessa had a mere 17.1% strikeout rate and a 45.0% ground ball rate in his 51.2 innings as a starter last year. Hitters tagged him for a 1.92 HR/9 (19.3 HR/FB%) and that's way too high. Can't do that and stay in the rotation.
Cessa has long had a reputation for being a strike-thrower and we saw it last season. He had a 3.9% walk rate in his nine starts. I wonder whether he's someone who could benefit from throwing a few more pitches out of the zone, especially in two-strike counts. Not everything needs to be over the plate, you know. That could lead to more strikeouts and fewer homers allowed. Just an idea. But yeah, too few strikeouts and too many homers. Those are the two things Cessa will look to improve this summer.
Chad Green
What does he have the others don't? Good question! I'm not sure, exactly. Possibly an overpowering fastball? Green, …

Joanna Penn: Writer Broke Free From Job, Started Blog, Makes $100K As Author & Mentor To Writers
http://www.Entrepreneurs-Journey.com Joanna Penn and I go waaay back. I remember hearing her unique British accent on a regular basis during coaching calls for my first Blog Mastermind course. I could tell she was an action taker and big things were in her future. Today I'm excited to bring her on to my podcast so she can explain how she went on to start a blog, TheCreativePenn.com, become a coach and mentor to creative writers, and a fiction author, with ten 'crime thrillers' to her name (well her alter-ego anyway - J.F. Penn). Trapped With Golden Handcuffs Joanna explained she was 'trapped with golden handcuffs' to a job she hated. This phrase was new to me. I've heard of the golden handshake when you leave a job, but not being trapped IN a job. The golden handcuff means your job is well paying, and because you live a life up to your means, with a big house, an investment property, a mortgage, cars, a bike, etc - all of these life's trappings literally mean you are trapped to a job. Without the big salary you can't maintain it all. Such was the situation Joanna was in, until she made a simple-sounding decision with her husband to downgrade. Gone was the 4-bed house, the investment property and everything else. They quit their jobs, packed their bags and left Australia for England with a six month salary buffer saved up. A Smarter Way To Sell Books: Build Your Profile Online You will hear Joanna tell the story of writing her first book, then successfully landing an incredible amount of publicity - including some prime-time on Australian television - with the end result of selling ZERO books. This is when I entered Joanna's world. She enrolled in Blog Mastermind, and after two false starts, created a blog that led to her becoming the leader in her industry she is today. Joanna modeled what I was doing. She wrote her own free report, a blueprint for authors, which started small but today is a virtual tome free information. She grew her list, wrote pillar articles for her blog, then launched courses and landing speaking gigs. Then, after finally tasting success, Joanna made a big change — she decided to become a fiction author. She wrote her first crime-thriller and started down a new path, modeling what other independent fiction authors were doing to make a living selling their books. How You Can Make A Living As A Writer Today Joanna makes half of her $100,000+ a year income from her fiction writing business, and the other half from creative writing teaching business and blog. It took her a good six years to get here from the point of leaving her job and starting her blog, but you can tell the journey has well been worth it. Listen to this interview and you will hear Joanna explain how she suggests other writers get started, why she thinks building a personal branded blog is so important and why writing to a blog was so important to the start of her writing career. If you want to make a living from your writing, this is a must-listen to interview. Enjoy! Yaro Starak http://www.Entrepreneurs-Journey.com

Shinji Inui (乾 信司 Inui Shinji) makes his debut during Project D's battle against Team Spiral. Shinji is a member of Sidewinder and therefore second driver of this team. Shinji appears to be a boy (possibly younger than Takumi) but seems very intelligent. Shinji's car is the notchback coupe variant of the AE86 Trueno (not to be confused with Takumi's Eight-Six). He is the fourth character to drive a Toyota AE86 model, after the fake Takumi's Trueno AE86.
In the end of the final episode of final stage, it is unknown who won the race when he races Takumi's AE86. In the final chapters of the manga (and the Final Stage anime), Shinji lost to Takumi, due to both cars spinning out. With the tires of Takumi's 86 locking up, it sent Takumi's 86 into a spin. Shinji had no choice but to follow. At this moment, with the experience gained from the engine blow in Akagi when going against the Evo III, Takumi instinctively presses on the clutch, freeing up the tires and regained control of the 86 momentarily. However, Takumi is now going in reverse with inertia alone. Shinji, on the other hand, lacks actual dogfight experience and did not know what to do, spinning a full 360 degree, causing him to lose more momentum than Takumi did. Takumi won by crossing the finish line backwards with his 86. Shinji's 86 ended up facing the finish line after the 360 spin.
The reason the winner is disputed is because of Kyoichi Sudo's quote from second stage, where he says a blown engine means defeat. Therefore, Takumi technically lost when he blew his engine in the final corner, but so did Shinji as Takumi still crossed the line. Takumi is however seen as the winner, although as stated previously the actual winner is unknown.
Shinji later apologized to his mother and his boss, Go Hojo, for losing the race; however neither of them were angry, and Go said that Shinji at least gave it his all.
Eiji Kubo learns that Shinji has incredible spatial intelligence after hearing his mother's story about Shinji having high IQ but not having good grades and Shinji's penchant of doing nothing but staring at the roadside when he was still a little boy, explaining why he has such excellent knowledge of the track.

The Citroen Junior Team on the podium!
Thanks to the points scored by Dani Sordo and Diego Vallejo, who were fifth at the end of the Rally Great Britain, and by Kimi Raikkonen and Kaj Lindstrom, who finished eighth, the Citroen Junior Team has claimed third in the World Rally Championship for Manufacturers, which was won by the Citroen Total World Rally Team*.
The final day of the Rally Great Britain, which was made up of four special stages totalling 76.14 competitive kilometres, did not witness any dramatic changes to the leaderboard.
Dani Sordo and Diego Vallejo were fifth on the road today and hung onto their overall placing throughout the final leg of the rally, which took place between Cardiff and Swansea. The Spanish crew set two fifth-fastest times during the opening loop of stages but changed their car's set-up for the second run over the loop. Dani was third-quickest in Resolfen before going fastest of all in Margam Park. "We tried out a few new things," he said. "I preferred how the car was after we had done that as I felt more confident. Myself and Diego said to ourselves that we would push hard on the last stage to set the final fastest time of the season and that's exactly how it worked out!"
"It was a really difficult rally," added the Spanish driver. "The roads were very slippery with several changes in the levels of grip. I tried to keep up with the frontrunners but I lost a bit of time on the opening day. Afterwards I aimed to close the gap a bit but I always ended up fifth at the end of every stage."
"I wanted to do a bit better in order to finish the year on a real high, but it was hard to take any more risks on roads that were as slippery as these ones," added Dani. "There were so many traps that you could fall into everywhere."
Kimi Raikkonen and Kaj Lindstrom had a slightly more troubled start to the day because of an electronic problem in the gearshift command at the end of Margam Park 1 (SS18). Apart from this small setback, the Finn was able to continue making progress. "The stages are as difficult as ever," he said. "Even though the conditions are slightly better today, the roads are still extremely slippery."
By ending the rally in eighth position, Kimi racked up his fifth points finish of the year. "We were expecting this to be a tricky season," he said. "I made some mistakes but I also learned a lot this year and I had fun driving the Citroen C4 WRC. I would like to carry on: this is my preferred option for 2011."
Team manager Benoit Nogier concluded: "We had no specific fixed objective at the start of the year. Our goal was to help Sebastien Ogier show his potential so that he could get a factory seat. We fulfilled that target over the course of the year and this remains our biggest satisfaction. The other objective was to allow Kimi Raikkonen to find out all about the World Rally Championship. He was able to learn at his own pace and I think that this first year has given him the desire to continue in the WRC. So once more, it was mission accomplished. Speaking generally, the team always did a good job in what was its third season of the World Rally Championship. Third place in the final rankings is a great reward for us. It shows the ability of our team to make the most of a reliable and competitive car. We've got a very good structure in place now, so we will be doing everything we can to continue this adventure in 2011."

McLean, Virginia – (The Hosting News) – November 16, 2006 –
Integrated communications services, hosting and VoIP provider, PRIMUS Telecommunications Group, has reported continued sequential quarterly improvement in operating results revenue from broadband, local, wireless and VoIP services.
The Company reported net income for the quarter of $0.1 million, compared to a net loss of ($220) million in the prior quarter and a net loss of ($51) million in the third quarter 2005. As a result, the Company reported basic and diluted income per common share of $0.00 in the third quarter 2006, as compared to a basic and diluted loss per common share of ($0.51) in the year-ago quarter.
K. Paul Singh, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of PRIMUS explained, "We are pleased to report the fourth consecutive quarter of steady improvement in our recurring Adjusted EBITDA trajectory. Our improved performance is driven by continuing implementation of our previously announced strategy of maximizing cash flow from operations by driving down costs while focusing our available resources on high margin products and services. Execution of this strategy has resulted in the continued shedding of low margin retail revenue and its associated costs, while continued growth in new services and other high margin products has resulted in improved operating margins. That progress, together with aggressive management of SG and A expense, has enabled us to increase Adjusted EBITDA. "Our performance in recent quarters has re-established a stable base of EBITDA generation from operations. While such progress is encouraging, we must build on this success by continuing to increase the margin contribution from new products and by reducing our interest expense in order to generate adequate levels of cash flow to realize the full growth potential of PRIMUS and meet our future debt maturity obligations. We are actively pursuing initiatives to become Free Cash Flow breakeven on an operating basis through a combination of improved EBITDA performance and reduced interest expense."
The Company's improved operating performance has resulted from continued execution of the four-pronged PRIMUS Action Plan: Prioritize revenue growth in new services, while concentrating available resources for optimum effectiveness – Revenue from broadband, local, wireless and VOIP initiatives grew to $35 million in the quarter, an increase of 35% from the third quarter 2005. In addition to consistent quarterly revenue growth from new services, profitability from these services is also increasing, providing clear support for the Company's Action Plan. Enhance margins by increasing scale on the new initiatives, adding broadband infrastructure in high density locations and migrating customers onto the PRIMUS network – PRIMUS now has over 183,000 DSL customers in Australia and Canada.
The Australian and Canadian DSLAM networks are comprised of 181 and 65 nodes, respectively. There are now over 88,000 services (local and broadband) provisioned directly on the Company's DSLAM facilities in Australia and Canada. Margins from these on-net services are almost double those of off-net services. To capitalize on the recent completion of the Canadian DSLAM network, the Company elected to increase advertising to accelerate growth in on-net services.
After four consecutive quarters of reduced SG and A expense, the Company reported a third quarter total of $72 million, essentially flat with the prior quarter despite a $1 million increase in advertising, but down over $20 million from the prior year quarter. Primus's aggressive expense reduction efforts have also focused on a range of cost of revenue reductions in the current quarter and such efforts are continuing. Additionally, the Australian regulatory commission issued an Interim Determination Letter lowering charges for on-net local loop services paid to Telstra, which is one of the regulatory matters currently under review. If this interim ruling is affirmed, it is estimated that PRIMUS's annual expense for these services will be reduced by approximately $2 million. Strengthen the balance sheet opportunistically through potential deleveraging and equity capital infusion.
During the first three quarters of 2006 Primus successfully: (1) exchanged $27 million principal amount of the 5.75% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due 2007 for $27 million of newly created Step-Up Convertible Debentures due 2009; (2) exchanged $3 million principal amount of its 12.75% Senior Notes for 1.8 million shares of common stock; (3) exchanged $32 million principal amount of 5% Exchangeable Senior Notes for $55 million principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2010; (4) issued $24 million principal amount of 5% Exchangeable Senior Notes for $18 million in cash (net of issuance costs); (5) raised $13 million cash proceeds from the sale of its Indian subsidiary; and (6) sold $5 million of newly issued common stock to a private investor. To attain the targeted levels of Free Cash Flow it is imperative that substantial further progress be made in reducing overall debt and interest expenses – an area that is a priority.
Third Quarter 2006 Financial Results The Company sold its India-based operations at the end of the second quarter 2006. From an accounting perspective, the sale has been treated as a "discontinued operation" and, therefore, those operating results are excluded from the individual line items of the statement of operations in all prior period results, and the income is shown as a separate line item on the statement of operations. Third quarter 2006 revenue was $248 million, down 2% sequentially from $252 million in the prior quarter and down 15% from $290 million in the third quarter 2005.
Thomas R. Kloster, Chief Financial Officer of PRIMUS added, "The $4 million sequential revenue decline was driven largely by a $4 million reduction in low-margin prepaid services revenue, representing the continued shedding of unprofitable revenue as part of our previously announced restructuring of the prepaid business. The balance of the sequential revenue decline was comprised of a $2 million decrease in high-margin retail services, including legacy voice and dial-up Internet services. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of $2 million as a result of the weakening United States dollar. While we are pleased by the continued growth of our high margin initiatives such as broadband, local, wireless and VOIP services — which generated $35 million of revenue and improved margins in the third quarter 2006 — we need to accelerate this growth in order to compensate fully for the margin loss from the revenue decline in legacy services."
Net revenue from data/Internet and VOIP services was $73 million (29% of total net revenue for the quarter), up slightly from the prior quarter. Geographic revenue mix changed modestly with 20% coming from the United States, 28% from Canada, 21% from Europe and 31% from Asia-Pacific. The mix of net revenue was 78% retail (52% residential and 26% business) and 22% wholesale. SG and A expense was $72 million (29.3% of net revenue), consistent with $72 million in the prior quarter (28.7% of net revenue) and down from $93 million (32.0% of net revenue) in the third quarter 2005. As compared to the prior quarter, advertising expense increased by $1 million and the Company incurred a $1 million expense for European administrative taxes. These increases were offset by continued declines in commission expense primarily related to the prepaid services revenue decline. Income from operations was $10 million in the third quarter 2006 versus a loss of ($228) million (including a $223 million non-cash asset impairment write-down and loss on sale or disposal of assets, and a $4 million non-cash expense related to the restructuring of the prepaid services business) in the prior quarter and a loss of ($34) million in the third quarter 2005.
The prior quarter's asset impairment write-down reduced the level of depreciation and amortization expense to $7 million during the third quarter 2006 from $17 million in the prior quarter. Adjusted EBITDA of $16.6 million, as calculated in the attached schedules, compares with $11.5 million in the prior quarter (which included a $4.1 million non-cash prepaid services business restructuring charge) and $1.1 million in the third quarter 2005. Interest expense for the third quarter 2006 was $13 million, down from $14 million in both the prior and year-ago quarters. Net income was $0.1 million for the quarter (including a $4 million net gain on foreign currency transactions) compared to a net loss of ($220) million (including a $223 million asset impairment write-down and loss on sale or disposal of assets, $7 million of income from sale of discontinued operations, a $5 million gain on early extinguishment of debt, a $7 million net gain from foreign currency transactions and a $4 million non-cash expense related to restructuring the prepaid services business) in the prior quarter and a net loss of ($51) million (including a $13 million loss on disposal of assets, a $4 million loss on early extinguishment of debt and a $2 million net gain from foreign currency transactions) in the third quarter 2005. Basic and Diluted Income Per Common Share was $0.00 for the third quarter 2006, compared to Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share of ($1.93) for the second quarter 2006 and Basic and Diluted Loss Per Common Share of ($0.51) in the year-ago quarter. Liquidity and Capital Resources PRIMUS ended the third quarter 2006 with a cash balance of $80 million, including $9 million of restricted funds, as compared to $96 million, including $8 million of restricted funds, as of June 30, 2006.
For the quarter, a net $6 million in cash was used for operating activities. This total reflects $23 million in cash used in operating activities (including $16 million in cash interest payments, $2 million for tax payments, $2 million for fees related to the issuance of the 5% Exchangeable Senior Notes in the second quarter, $1 million being transferred to restricted cash and $2 million for working capital), partially offset by $17 million of Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, $8 million of cash was used for capital expenditures and $2 million for scheduled principal reductions on debt obligations. Free Cash Flow for the third quarter 2006, as calculated in the attached schedules, was negative $14 million as compared to negative $1 million in the prior quarter and a negative $33 million in the third quarter 2005. The first and third quarters have higher cash interest payments based on the timing of debt interest due dates. The $71 million unrestricted cash balance as of September 30, 2006 is expected to remain relatively stable as of December 31, 2006. However, first quarter 2007 scheduled principal maturities of $23 million of the 5.75% Convertible Subordinated Debentures and $8 million for a vendor financing will result in a significant decrease in unrestricted cash levels during the first quarter of 2007. As a result, Primus's highest management priority is to explore potential means to reduce the cash outflow in the first quarter of 2007.
The principal amount of PRIMUS's long-term debt obligations as of September 30, 2006 were $641 million, down from $643 million at June 30, 2006. The Company and/or its subsidiaries will evaluate and determine on a continuing basis, depending upon market conditions and the outcome of events and uncertainties described within any "forward-looking statement†descriptions in this release and its SEC filings, the most efficient use of the Company's capital and resources, including investment in the Company's network, systems, and new product initiatives, purchasing, refinancing, exchanging, tendering for or retiring certain of the Company's outstanding debt securities in privately negotiated transactions, open market transactions or by other direct or indirect means or purchasing it's equity in the open market to the extent permitted by existing covenants.

PDP set to drag APC to court over Edo Election
Labels: Politics
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, has decided to contest the result of the recently-concluded Edo governorship election in court.
|Sen Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi
But the PDP's decision to drag the APC to court over the election was taken at a meeting between the leadership of the party led by the Caretaker Committee Chairman, Sen Ahmed Mohammed Makarfi, and its caucus of both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
Addressing reporters after the meeting yesterday, PDP spokesperson, Prince Dayo Adeyeye expressed optimism that the party would win at the court.
According to Adeyeye, "We discussed it. We know that we were we robbed in Edo State. We believe that we will have our day in court. And by the grace of God, we still have confidence in the judiciary. What happened in Edo State will not stand.
"The members of the National Caretaker Committee led by Senator Ahmed Makarfi came in here today to brief our National Assembly Caucus. The Minority Leader of the House of Representatives is here, the DSP was also here. We had very good representation at this meeting.
"Basically, it was to brief them on new developments in the party, particularly relating to the peace efforts that we are making in the party. We have to put them into confidence in some of the actions we have taken lately. And ask for their own contribution because after all they are major critical stakeholders. They put us there, we need to consult with them, we need to brief them on developments from time to time.
"And I'm happy to say that after the review of what has happened, we have come to the conclusion that the peace efforts already taken by the caretaker committee are in order. And the National Assembly Caucus have given full endorsement to all the efforts made so far by the National Caretaker Committee to reconcile all the aggrieved members of this great party.
On the crisis that has so far bedeviled the party, Adeyeye said, "We don't have any faction in PDP. I've said some people are aggrieved. And we are trying to make peace with everybody. The PDP is one single body. In every party, you have people who could be aggrieved from time to time. And we are making efforts to reconcile everybody together. "

Media major Zee Telefilms witnessed sustained selling from institutions on rumours that the company may soon issue a profit warning. On the Bombay Stock Exchange, the stock tumbled to a low of Rs 85.95 in intraday trades but settled at Rs 86.65, down 6.48 per cent over Thursday's close of Rs 92.65. Around 48.59 lakh shares were traded on the counter through 26,465 trades.
On the National Stock Exchange, 72.26 lakh shares traded on the counter through 43,090 trades. The stock has slipped 23.3 per cent from Rs 113 on September 2 to its current levels.
As per market talk, advertisement revenues are on the downswing due to the poor reception got for Zee's serials and programmes. The second quarter results of the company, in any case, are expected to be disappointing.
Recently, a foreign brokerage house had slashed its earnings estimate and price target for Zee Telefilms due to the continued sluggishness in the advertising market and the dominance of the company's main rivals on television rating points charts.
The advertising revenue growth forecasts for Zee was reduced to 2.6% for the current fiscal. However, the brokerage still maintained its 'buy' recommendation on the Zee stock.
Zee Telefilms' revenues on a standalone basis have been highly impacted by sluggish advertisement revenues. A rise in subscription revenues from overseas, though, has helped Zee Telefilms.

How did all those employees of Carlo's Bakery lose so much weight in one week? Several people lost SEVEN POUNDS each, and one guy lost FIFTEEN!!!! That's a lot of weight to lose in such a short period of time. Did they all have weights in their pockets at the first weigh-in?
Anyone on CC ever lose that much weight in one week? If so, HOW?
If you retain a lot of water, when you start dieting, it's the first thing that goes. They should not see that kind of loss for more than two weeks in a row. After that, it should slow down to a moderate 2-3 pounds a week. BUT......depending on what they are doing to lose weight, it could be possible. Are they exercising like on Biggest Loser and have a nutritionist with them at all times?....not impossible.
If you have an abundance to loose and you do a South Beach phase one you can drop some weight.
Yes I have lost 10-15 pounds in two weeks so that would be 5-7 in one week. (Phase one is two weeks long--it works!)
I mean the more you have to loose the more you can drop those first two weeks.
It will be almost impossible for everybody to loose weight in one week no matter how varied the volume.I believe the weight loss challenge was on for more than one week before the episode was aired but may be they didn't tell us.You know they need those little extra drama to keep us watching.Sometimes those tv programs are not aired in ordered it was recorded.Challenge started for example,result episode was recorded 3 weeks after.I'm Gguessing.
When I go back to "eating healthy" or the weight watchers plan, after being my usual gluttonous self for a while (lol) I usually lose 7-10 pounds the first week without even exercising... it's pretty common, especially for people who have a lot of weight to lose.
When I did weight watchers a few years ago I too lost 7 to 9 lbs the first couple of weeks.
It's definitely not uncommon to lose a lot of water weight when you first start dieting and exercising.
After about the first month my weight loss numbers dropped to about 2 to 4 lbs a week at the weigh ins.
I'm happy to report that in total I went from 219lbs to 135 lbs and I'm still maintaining!! It's been both the hardest yet most rewarding "life style" change.......but for me it's a daily battle because I love to eat.
So yes, it is entirely possible to show big numbers on the scale at the beginning, especially for big men like the guy that lost 15lbs. Do you ever watch the Biggest Loser? Those people lose 20 to 25 lbs the first week!
I don't see why it isn't possible. They are bigger men and losing 7 pounds isn't uncommon. There was a time I lost 20 pounds in less than a month and I remember that the first weeks were the most.
I have actually lost a total of 105 pounds and gained back 44 (currently--last week's check). Now I am struggling to go back but I know I can do it.
I didn't think any of the female employees had a lot of weight to lose. And one WAS caught with a weight in her pocket (or was that just for TV drama?) I just find it odd that so many people lost around 7 pounds so quickly. I think they said several times that the challenge was for one week. I guess if they each stopped eating bakery goodies for 7 days they would all lose weight.
As we've posted numerous times before, I really wish the show would focus more on the caking, and less on the other stuff.
The FAO Schwarz cake was adorable. I love the way they steam the fondant to make it shiny. Glad to see they used the elevator.
The beach club cake was fun. I liked the fondant man with the sunburn.
Love the giant cannoli! I always wondered how they fried so many shells at once and now I know.
There was too much "TV drama" over the dragon heads. Didn't Buddy ever peek at what those very talented employees were doing to check the size of the dragons?
And there was also too much TV drama over the unbaked cake layers.
My suggestion to everyone at Carlo's Bakery....write things down! That would improve communication and eliminate some of the confusion. It seems as if there is a major mis-communication every week.
But they sure make beautiful cakes!
I really think they do it for the drama. There is no way that someone would leave cannoli frosting out in a room that is 100 degrees. That's just plain stupid. No one has money like that to waste. That was a ton of stuff.
They didn't really spend a lot of time showing the dragon cake. I thought they could have used a third cake or something else. And I never heard them mention the weight loss in the 10:00 show. Which I thought was weird, because the 10:30 show (which aired last week) was like we are going to be losing major weight and having a huge competition.
Just my thoughts. I still LOVE the show.
I've done low-carb on and off for the last ten years. If I really want to drop weight fast, I go on a "meat fast". Nothing but meat for 3 days and I can easily lose 7lbs in 3 days.
Really, nothing but meat at all?! How does that work?
The first thing your body burns is carbs. If you dont eat any, you lose! A lot of it is water at first, but then its fat! It's hard to do, you have to have great willpower. I have to be in the right frame of mind to do it!
If their weight loss is anything like it was on the first season of Wrecked (speed channel) The ones who stuff their pockets more lost the most weight. (there was also a weight loss challenge)
It seems like a while since I saw this episode, but I could've sworn that they recorded starting weights WITH shoes on and the final weights WITHOUT shoes. Or am I making this up? My mind isn't what it used to be, but I know my shoes alone weigh about 2-3 pounds (depending on the pair).

I'm in my mid thirties and I'm dating a man 26 years older than me.
Most Helpful Guy
You guys are both adults, as long as you're happy with each other, who gives a shit? The only bad thing that I can think of about an age gap that size is health limitations for something more like marriage (havin kids down the line if you want to/haven't yet, you won't be able to grow as old together, etc), but if you want each other, have alternatives to stuff like that, or whatever, I say go for it. The whole point is for you to be happy with each other, you know?00|00|0
You're right, I agree.

Top-ranked Mater Dei and No. 2 Brea Olinda will be in the same building Saturday afternoon.
While Orange County's perennial powers won't square off, both will participate in the Tony Matson Memorial Classic at Orange Lutheran.
The four-game showcase begins at noon with Canyon taking on No. 9 Santa Margarita. Mater Dei and No. 4 Fairmont Prep meet at 1:30 p.m.
Brea Olinda and Windward of Los Angeles take the court at 3 p.m., and fifth-ranked Orange Lutheran and Sierra Canyon of Chatsworth wrap up the event with a game at 4:30 p.m.
Saturday's showcase marks the seventh installment of the Matson Classic, honoring former Lancers girls coach, Tony Matson, who passed away in 2009.
"I think most of the coaches that have participated over the years knew Tony in some fashion," current Orange Lutheran coach Tom Howard said. "The desire to play in it is two-fold, I think. For one, it honors Tom's legacy. And at the same time, we've been able to create matchups that showcase some of the best teams in Orange County and Southern California."
The Canyon-Santa Margarita opener pits two teams that have spent time in the county top 10 this season. Brea coach Jeff Sink said last week the Comanches are the most improved squad he has seen in the county this season.
All six teams competing in the day's final three games are among the teams on the watch list for the CIF-SS Open Division.
Mater Dei and Fairmont Prep played last season in the Matson Classic. Brea Olinda was the state runner-up in Division 3 a year ago. Windward was the Southern Section's 1AA champ.
Sierra Canyon won the Division 4 state championship last March, but the Trailblazers will have their hands full against a gritty Lancers team led by Jessi Matson.
"She's her father's daughter," Howard said of the junior guard, the youngest of Tony's three daughters. "She embodies his toughness and competitiveness. She's a spitting image of him as a competitor, and continues to honor him by how hard she plays."
Adjusting to the high school game is a tall task for ninth-graders, no matter how talented they are. Several local youngsters have opened eyes by acclimating to the varsity stage somewhat seamlessly.
Oxford Academy center Austyn Masuno and Trabuco Hills guard Sierra Clark are the lone freshmen listed among the county's top 20 scorers more than halfway into the season.
Masuno's 19 points per game is the best among ninth graders, and it's good enough for one of the five best averages in the entire county. The center is also averaging 12 rebounds per game and has tallied 16 double-doubles in 18 appearances.
Clark is Trabuco Hills' leading scorer at 13 points an outing in the competitive Sea View League. The guard scored a career-high 25 against first place Dana Hills less than two weeks ago.
Los Alamitos freshman Cailyn Crocker has taken the Sunset League by storm. The guard is averaging over 18 points in her first four career league games. In Los Al's last 10 outings, Crocker is putting up 16 a night.
Mater Dei coach Kevin Kiernan captured his 750th and 751st career wins last week in victories over Santa Margarita and Orange Lutheran.
Now in his ninth season on the Monarchs sideline, Kiernan has compiled a 261-18 mark.
In his 20-plus year career coaching both girls and boys, Kiernan has an overall record of 751-122.

WIP Wednesday: A New WIP
This week I find myself in need of a couple of quick baby quilts. So I started with the one for the baby whose gender is already known. I've said it before and I'll say it again: Gender-neutral baby quilts are no fun. Mothers who want to be surprised: I totally get it, and I'm sure baby quilts were of very little consequence in this decision, but your surprise is highly inconvenient for quilt-making. LOL.
