Act Like an Investor: Do Nothing
Last night I spent some time exploring the Twitterverse. As always, I exchanged barbs and quips with fellow Real Money contributors Brian Sozzi, Bob Byrne and others over the course of the evening. I also noticed a very strong trend: Market participants are either hard core bulls or hard core bears right now. Everyone seems to have a high degree of conviction about what the market is going to do over the next few months and is willing to bet on it. They also seem to think the rest of us should follow their path with high degrees of conviction and leverage.
This type of thinking is insane right now. There are just too many variables to merit taking a strong stance on market direction. To be fair, the negatives outweigh the positives at this moment. The fiscal cliff is looming. Europe is still, as my kids like to say, a hot mess. Earnings so far have been weak and guidance is worse for many of the S&P 500 companies. QE3 has not accomplished anything more than QE2 did -- probably a lot less. We are seeing layoffs rise, especially in the retail, restaurant and banking industries. To top it all off, we have increased geopolitical risk in the Middle East with chances for a more serious conflict rising by the day....483 more words left in this article.

Frisco , Texas, December 08, 2011
AT&T* today announced it is opening a new 4,600-square-foot retail store in Frisco to address the growing demand for advanced wireless and wired products and services. The new store is in Stonebriar Centre Mall at 2601 Preston Road. The store is on the second floor next to the food court and above the ice skating rink.
"This AT&T store opening in Stonebriar Mall represents a true convenience for customers and employment opportunity with a Fortune 10 company for area residents. The thousands of Mall visitors from Collin County and beyond over the Christmas season will benefit from its presence," said State Representative Ken Paxton. "The extremely competitive wireless industry brings investment and employment opportunities, while providing the consuming public with products and services it will use to connect to their families, their work and their friends."
The new retail store features a state-of-the-art, hands-on design to engage shoppers and provide a "try before you buy" service experience. Trained consultants will provide demonstrations of a wide range of products and services, including the 4G LTE Samsung Galaxy Tablet, 4G LTE HTC Vivid, Apple iPhone 4S, 4G LTE AT&T Elevate Mobile Hotspot and more. The store also provides AT&T home solutions such as U-Verse television, Internet and voice services, as well as DirecTV, AT&T high-speed Internet and AT&T home phone.
Customers can also test drive various wireless data applications, including AT&T Navigator which provides GPS navigation with turn-by-turn directions, or AT&T Family Map, a family locator service designed to help give parents peace of mind.
"We are focused on making our customers' in-store experience exceptional, and that begins with a convenient store location, simplistic layout and knowledgeable staff," said Adam Vital, vice president and general manager for AT&T in North Texas. "As part of the Frisco community, we're always looking for new opportunities to provide an enhanced customer experience and our investment in the new retail store is just one way we're accomplishing that. Customers can try out our newest line-up of quick messaging devices and smartphones when they visit this Frisco location, and we will continue in our efforts to give consumers convenient access to the latest in communications and entertainment services."
The Frisco store is led by manager Brian Hayworth and assistant manager Ison Rocha along with a staff of 15 employees who are trained to assist both consumer and business customers with purchasing decisions, customer service and technical support.

Hi, Gavin,
it is an easy to understand version of the trend in the treatment of cancers now and for the future. Well done.
Make sure to say hi to your mom for me, and how's your newly decorated Scottish villa ? It must be good .
Well, the weather now in this BEARS country is cool and wet today with a chance of frost tonite; the same can be apply to the BEARS this coming Sunday if the Steelers wakes up and put a strong defense again the BEARS's fragile offense.
God bless.
I agree, Gavin. Nice find and thanks for posting it for all to read.
Good job, Gavin!
Say how about those Packers! Teddy's daughter called me Sunday morning and she said, "I talked to Dad this morning and I asked him to come through the Coaches for the Game"....guess he did!
This weekend I will be in Pam Springs for an engagement party for T Granddaughter. The GD is totally Packer but all the rest are from da Bear
country! They are so Bear it wouldn't surprise me if they invited Percy to rag on me!!!! JK
Morning Percy, Marion and Lainy,
Yes I liked the article too and thought it a good one so wanted to post it here as well for others to read. Decorating at the villa is progressing slowly but at least I am making progress! Seems to be taking for ever and pretty much all of my free time is spent with it hence my not being around here as much as I'd like to be. My apologies for that but I think I should be done in around another 2 weeks or so. At least I hope so as it is starting to do my head in!
It seems like the more I do the more that it turns out has to be done, grrrr! Having to redo the bedroom was a major pain but at least it is pretty much as I want it now and just have to paper the side bits to the window to cover the repairs I had to do to the 3 big holes in the wall. Kitchen all sanded and prepped and will be painted by the weekend, bedroom finished start of next week and that just leaves the living room. Will get to that last as I keep needing to move everything out of one room to another to have enough space to paint. The end is in sight though finally and never again will I decide to do the whole house in one go!!!
Haven't seen any football this year so far, more grrrr to that as well. Just haven't had the time. And mum has had another chest infection as well so trying to keep on top of that to keep her out of the hospital this time. Meds seemed to have worked so far but some it seems to be lingering around. And for sure Percy I'll say hi to her from you today.
Hope you enjoy Palm Springs Lainy, sounds lovely! Weather will be great no doubt and better than the frosty morning we have here today, brrrrr! Have a good one! Hopefully I will be back to normal here in a few weeks with a habitable house!
Hugs to you all,
Oh Gavin,
A brave man you are taking on a complete house renovation at once!!! My hat off to you!!! Just think how good it will feel when it's all done and you can sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor!!!
I'm sorry to hear your mum is not well. Hopefully, you can get the chest infection under control without a hospital stay. I know how depressing those stays can be.
Stay well and keep us posted (and hopefully some pics) on the renovations.
Peace & Love,
Thanks Mary! The meds seemed to work quite well for mum this time so no trip to the hospital! And the decorating, well I'm getting there! Just finished the 3rd coat on the kitchen tonight and might do a 4th and hopefully final one on it tomorrow morning! Still got the kitchen ceiling to do but can't do that until I get my mate to remove the old strip light and replace it with spotlights. Then onto the living room!!

Keystone & Beyond
Thursday | August 21, 2014 | 6:00 pm
The Commonwealth Club, SF Club Office | 555 Post Street, San Francisco, CA 94105
Event Navigation
With American oil production increasing and domestic demand in decline, does it make sense to build the Keystone XL pipeline? The Keystone battle is one of the biggest political fights over energy in decades and could shape President Obama's legacy. Supporters say it will provide reliable energy from a friendly neighbor, adding that if the oil doesn't come here, it will go to Asia. Opponents say that building it will commit the U.S. to some of the dirtiest fuel on Earth and send a message that the country is not serious about stabilizing the climate.
Keystone is just one hunk of metal in a web of energy infrastructure. There are 2.5 million miles of pipeline that carry energy around the United States. As a recent accident in Lynchburg, Virginia, demonstrated, transporting the oil by rail is dangerous. Furthermore, other pipelines are in the works to get the oil to ports and global markets.
John Cushman's book on Keystone tells the story of the country's most discussed piece of pipe. He will tell that story and be joined by two other reporters for a discussion of how the U.S. can maintain its economy while getting off fossil fuels before frying the planet. Will divestment from fossil fuels have any impact on capital and energy markets? Is attacking supply an effective strategy for decarbonizing the economy? Join a conversation with leading energy journalists on powering this country's future.

text: No official info has been released for this bike, but what you're looking at are photos snapped by Motosblog of a lightly modified V-Strom with an eye toward dirt performance and crashability. Knobby tires, grippy dirt-bike pegs, upgraded brake lines, fog lights, hard bags and a cut down, lightweight looking tail with LED lights help the bike perform a little better. An aluminum radiator guard, beefy pipe guard, skid-plate and tubular steel handguards increase your chances of being able to ride away from a spill. It's a neat concept that would do well with a front fender and fork guards that actually protect the vulnerable exposed sliders.

HOUSTON - A southwest Houston woman came face to face with burglars on Tuesday.
Houston police said two men knocked on a door in the 4100 block of Glenshire about 10:30 a.m.
Jackie Fair lives inside that home. She said she looked out an upstairs window and saw a car she didn't recognize, so she didn't answer the door.
"I kind of had a weird feeling about it," Fair said. "I went and put my alarm on."
Minutes later, Fair said she heard glass shatter and realized something was breaking into her home.
Fair said she picked up the phone to call 911, but the line was dead.
Fair said she ran out of a bedroom and was confronted by one of the burglars who was coming up the stairs.
"I just started screaming and he looked at somebody downstairs, said something and they turned and ran out," Fair said. "He looked as scared as I did."
Fair said the burglars got away in a gray sedan, possibly a Chevrolet Impala, that had body damage near the passenger-side headlight.
Detailed descriptions of the burglars haven't been released, but Fair said one was heavy, the other was thin and both appeared to be in their 20s.
Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

FOREST Green's sparkling start to the season continued as goals from Clovis Kamdjo and Jon Parkin made it back-to-back Vanarama Conference victories.
Earlier Forest Green boss Ady Pennock named an unchanged side from the excellent opening day win at Southport.
Chester started brightly enough, still smarting from an opening day 5-0 hammering at home to Barnet.
John Rooney, brother of England and Manchester United's Wayne, fizzed over.
Rovers responded. The bearded Robbie Sinclair's free-kick picked out the leaping Kamdjo, who saw his glancing header saved by Freddy Hall.
Rovers nosed ahead on 10 minutes thanks to a goal of sublime quality.
A sweeping move saw captain David Pipe feed Parkin, and his strength saw the robust striker fizz the ball out to Sinclair, who picked out Kamdjo to strike from close in.
The frenetic start soon fizzled out with chances at a premium-despite a strike high, wide and not very handsome from Parkin, and a rash volley from Sam Wedgbury.
Deep into first half stoppage time, Chris Stokes slipped through the gears, but his final ball was lacking.
Chester opened the second half full of intent and pinned Rovers back with winger Peter Winn starting to dictate.
However, Pennock's side broke from the shackles with Wedgbury forcing Hall to save from Lee Hughes' assist.
Rovers made it 2-0 on 55 minutes. Slightly built left -winger Elliott Frear ran from his own half and cut a ball across the box for Parkin to see his initial strike blocked by Gareth Roberts, but the alert former Stoke City striker swept the free ball home for his first goal for Rovers.
Chester boss Steve Burr needed a way back into the contest and he turned to former Wolves and Scotland international Chris Iwelumo on the hour.
Tempers frayed with rugged Rovers' defender Danny Coles seeing a yellow for a push on Chester's Craig Hobson.
Rovers rallied. Hughes forced Hall to save from a Parkin pass and moments later Frear saw his point-blank strike fingered over from another Parkin lay-off.
Rovers can certainly play it long or short this season and in one direct move a clip from Coles found Hughes marauding on the right wing and his first-time ball across the box saw Hall in the right place to gather Frear's volley.
On 76 minutes, Pennock made a double substitution with James Norwood entering the fray for the impressive Frear and Kurtis Guthrie on for Sinclair.
Two minutes later Chester were handed a lifeline. Luke Oliver's clearing header dropped to Peter Winn, who rifled an unstoppable strike beyond Sam Russell.
On the cusp of full-time Russell plunged to his left to glove a Rooney strike away as Rovers saw the game out.
Forest Green: S. Russell; D. Pipe, L. Oliver, D. Coles, C. Stokes; R. Sinclair (K. Guthrie 77), C. Kamdjo, S. Wedgbury, E. Frear (J. Norwood 76); J. Parkin, L. Hughes (L. Rodgers 81).
Subs not used: E. Oshodi, M. Kelly.
Chester: F. Hall; D. Taylor, M. Brown, K. Charnock, G. Roberts; C. Mahon (C. Iwelumo 61), K. James, J. Rooney, P. Winn; S. McConville, C. Hobson (J. Menagh 69).

Steven Daniels has never played a down of football for Boston College and he hasn't attended school in Ohio for a while. Nonetheless, his association with the BC football program may help the Eagles with another important recruit from the state.
This week EagleAction.com caught up with Keith Watkins, a 5-foot-11, 175-pound running back from Moeller High School in Ohio.
Rated three-stars, Watkins has offers from Iowa, Kentucky, Minnesota, Northwestern, West Virginia and Boston College, among others. He spoke about his thoughts on Boston College at length.
"I haven't talked to them recently but that's just because I'm just getting out of basketball and I've been taking a break from everything," Watkins explained.
"I talked to them when they offered me. I think it was last month sometime. I believe it was my fourth offer.
"One of my friends is going there, Steven Daniels. He went to St. Xavier. I'm going to have to start talking to him. I know he'll tell me what I want to hear. Once I get there hopefully he'll be able to show me around."
While Watkins wants to visit BC he has a few other visits in mind first.
"This week I'll be going to UC (Cincinnati) to watch their spring practice on Saturday. Then possibly next week I'll be visiting Kentucky for their spring practice as well."
So far Watkins has been to Cincinnati, Kentucky and Ohio State.
He discussed each of those trips and his thoughts on each school.
"I really liked it at Kentucky. I felt real comfortable with the coaches and they made me feel like I was the type of guy they wanted on their team," he said. "When I was up there I received an offer from Coach (Joker) Phillips. I sat down and talked to him with my family and I felt real good up there.
"It was real nice at Ohio State as well. There were a lot of talented athletes up there that they're recruiting. The coach from UC that was recruiting me is at Ohio State now. He'll be recruiting me there and I talked to him last week. He said they're going to take everything slow and try to get me up there again, most likely for their spring practice.
"Cincinnati, that's the hometown (school). If I don't have anything going on I can call on the coaches and ask them if I can come up there. They always say I can come chill with the team or go through and watch some film with them. It's like 20 minutes away from my house so I can always go there when I'm free. I like it up there."

A BIKE journey always has a golden end for two fund-raising and sports mad friends.
Last Friday, June 6, they rode through Newent on the UK Gold Post Box Challenge.
The cycle challenge, to visit selected Gold Post Boxes throughout the whole of the UK , is being tackled by Lucas Magor, whose mum Frances lives in the Newent area, and Chris Britton, to raise funds for various charities.
Mr Magor Lucas) has already climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in Africa for charity and hopes to raise funds for Paralympics UK, Sport Relief 2014 and the Tree of Hope, a charity for children with severe medical problems.

Based on our past experiences, the Denver, Colorado Lowrider Magazine Tour Stop has grown synonymous with three things in particular. First, the weather will have a mind of its own. Secondly, the passion behind the Lowrider culture in this state will prove that it constantly grows every year; and lastly, when you leave the Denver Coliseum, you can hardly wait for next year's show. We arrived to news that rain was expected to cover the entire weekend. The Saturday roll-in was so packed with cars that at the 4 p.m. cut-off point, there were still over a hundred show cars in line to get in.
The Sunday show started with a quick shower, but then the skies opened up and hot sun and blue skies became the backdrop for a show that seemed to break every attendance record Denver had previously set for the tour stop. Some of the culture's finest cars were given center stage to compete for the chance to qualify for a coveted spot within the granddaddy of them all; The Las Vegas Super Show. Cars came from as far away as the four corners states for bragging rights. Among those that stood out were Tony & Deanna Winick's immaculate '61 Impala, rightfully named "Dead Serious." Frank Ramos brought down his fully transformed '74 Volkswagen, "My Rolls," which he built and dedicated to his daughter Emily. Javier Perez brought to the competition his oriental blue '54 Bel Air named "Que Loquera," and Anthony Velasquez showed his hand with his orange California '64 Impala, nicknamed "Dealers Choice."
Besides the beautiful women and hot weather, the inside of the Coliseum held rows of venders that sold it all, as spectators had the chance to check out everything from custom painted t-shirts and Lugz shoes to full hydraulic setups. KS 107.5 FM was on hand providing the sounds for the outside, and their capable staff also hosted the amazing show inside. Pioneer jumped on board as a sponsor, as did Verizon and Hi Low Hydraulics. On stage MC Magic, the Chicano sensation, elevated the mile-high altitude of the standing room only crowd with a set list of his top hits. The pumped-up crowd was then treated to the headliner, Baby Bash, who kept the ladies screaming with his intimate version of the smash "Suga Suga." The highly anticipated bikini contest capped the day off, as Denver's hottest women dropped it low to see who would emerge as the finest in Colorado. The crowd cheered for the winning girl, who not only got the title, but also a nice cash prize as well.
Just as expected, the Denver Tour Stop showcased the finest and most well built vehicles in the Midwest, all hoping to earn the opportunity to compete at the nation's largest show in Vegas. With the weather holding up to ensure that the show went on without a hitch, the Lowrider faithful came out in full force to support the culture. Thanks to everyone that enjoyed, participated, and made the Denver stop a successful and memorable event that seems to keep growing every year.

On a Freelancer's public Profile, several key performance metrics are shown so that Clients can quickly gauge a Freelancer's reputation on Elance and how they rank among their peers. Two important examples of this are Level Scores and Recommend Scores. Both Level Scores and Recommend Scores are visible on a Freelancer's Profile page in the Snapshot area on the right side of the page. Click the links below to learn more about how Levels and Recommend Scores are computed for Freelancers.
What is my Level and how is it calculated?
Elance Levels represent achievements and activity as a Freelancer on Elance. Higher levels indicate greater activity, earnings and customer satisfaction. All Freelancers start at Level 1 and move up to higher Levels as they gain experience and deliver positive outcomes on their jobs.
Freelancers can view their performance in their My Stats dashboard by clicking Find Work > My Stats (available to Premium Membership subscribers). My Stats helps Freelancers manage their activity in three main Categories: Client Relationship, Service Delivery, and Marketing.
For more information on My Stats click here.
Why are Levels important?
Levels determine default search rankings and are shown on Freelancer Profiles, proposals and in search results. A higher Level Freelancer is more likely to appear higher in search results. Levels also determine the number of Additional Connects a Freelancer can purchase as part of their Premium Membership plan.
Why does a Freelancer's Level show "Not Available"?
Navigating to an Elance Profile directly from a URL, will by default present an All Services view. The All Services view includes data from all Categories a Freelancer has worked in. Since Levels are calculated on a per Category basis, no Level will display if a specific Category is not selected. To view the Level for a particular Category, simply select a Category from the pull-down menu above the overview section on the Freelancer's Profile.
Note: On the Profile Snapshot, there will be no Level visible. On the Job History page, where Level is displayed for a particular Category, "Level not available" will show on the All Services view, along with a tooltip indicating that a Category must be selected to view Level.
What is my Recommend Score?
Recommend Score captures past Client's likelihood to recommend this Freelancer. When leaving job Feedback for a Freelancer, Clients will also leave a Recommendation rating, using a scale of 0 through 10 privately to ensure full honesty. The Recommend Score is computed by summing highly positive Recommends and subtracting negative ratings. The higher the Recommend Score, the better.
Freelancers are encouraged to have frequent communication with Clients to ensure the project requirements are met and on time. This will increase the likelihood of a highly positive Recommendation and Feedback ratings.

SHEPHERDSVILLE - Trash talking at a council meeting. That's what happened when several residents spoke about concerns over service provided by Eco-Tech for the city of Shepherdsville.
The company has the city's bid for service and will not expire until later this year.
Barbara Kendall was upset that several of her properties were not receiving pickup service even though the bills are paid.
She was also upset that a dumpster wasn't emptied because she was told it was "too full."

Blackburn with Darwen councillors and officers are also supporting the initiative as part of the Your Call campaign.
As the work of the foodbank supports all sections of the community it is hoped this interfaith initiative will be encourage longstanding and regular collections.
Councillor Salim Sidat said: "It is a fact that one in five people are living below the poverty line.
"I've have been down to the foodbank and you can see people are really struggling.
"They are in desperate need and we need a big push to help them.
"This is an issue that affects many people across Blackburn and this is the time to show good relations between both white and Asian communities.
"Muslims are being born and bred here and we shouldn't have any divisions, we should look at everyone's needs and address them accordingly."
Suggested foods are UHT or powdered milk, sugar, long life fruit juice, tins of soup, pasta sauce, tinned tomatoes, breakfast cereals, rice, pasta, tea bags, biscuits and any other long life foods.
Mosque collection points are Jamia Masjid on Cumberland Street, Noorul Islam in Audley Range, Ghosia Masjid on Chester Street, Masjide E Sajedeen on Plane Tree Road, Troy Street Masjid and Noorani Masjid.
Once all donations are collected it will be dropped off at the Blackburn Foodbank Warehouse at St Barnabas Church, Johnson Street on Thursday December 20 at 11am.

(Robert Ragosta flips off the camera happily, right, with his bandmate Andrew Sclafani, left)
Theatrics, energy, progressive sound, and passion are the rules of the music game for This Good Robot, the band that guitarist/backup vocalist Robert Ragosta is a member of. Ragosta is only 26, but he's spent a whopping 18 years playing instruments — needless to say, he knows his stuff. Quinnipiac has had This Good Robot perform before, and whenever they come around Connecticut, I'm sure to be at their shows because of how fucking good their music and stage performances are; I was lucky enough to be able to reach out to one of my favorite musicians from one of my favorite bands and ask him a few questions.
1. You play with both Patent Pending and This Good Robot, two bands that have a long history together. How did you end up with both bands, and how do you handle being in more than one project at a time?
Michael, the lead singer of This Good Robot, and Joe, the lead singer of Patent Pending, are both my older brothers so obviously there's quite a bit of history between the three of us. When I was 8 I would learn little things on guitar and then show them how to play em too so we've been playing music together and helping each other write in some way or another for at least 18 years now. We all grew up on a mix of oldies, show tunes and punk rock thanks to our parents and older sisters but it was Joe who really got into pop punk when he got Patent Pending going. I was so young at the time that I couldn't really join the band but I was always around to work on ideas and help load in and out of shows so over the years it's evolved into me being a part of the crew. I've found myself selling merch, guitar teching, filling in on drums, bass, guitar and even one show as lead singer. I am not, and never have been an official member of Patent Pending but I take pride in all the work I've been able to do with them over the years. Michael was the original singer in Patent Pending but eventually left to start This Good Robot which is much more in tune with his musical tastes. At that time I was still playing with my old band and Patent Pending was booking a big show on Long Island. Both This Good Robot and my band at the time, Mania In Urbania were up for an opening slot on the bill so instead of one band getting the boot off the show, us and This Good Robot joined up and played a tag team set with 8 of us on stage. After that night we never played a show apart again. This Good Robot absorbed Mania In Urbania and we became an 8 piece shit storm that no local venue wanted to deal with. This Good Robot is my full time band but I stay involved as much as I can with Patent Pending. Recently I helped them write the script for a mockumentary they released called "Mario and The Brick Breakers" which is a behind the music for a fictional Mario and Luigi rock band. Definitely worth looking up on youtube.
2. Anyone who's been to a This Good Robot show knows that you (as well as other members of the band) go absolutely crazy on stage. What artists/acts influence your stage performance, and if you can remember the first time you decided to move on stage, what was that like?
I've never really intentionally attempted to imitate anyone in particular on stage but if I had to pick an influence it'd be easy to say the first time I saw a live video of At The Drive-In I was absolutely blown away by their stage presence. Between Omar salsa dancing while whipping his guitar around his head and Cedric ripping stage lights off the ceiling and throwing them into the crowd while quite literally chewing on his microphone, I just couldn't believe my eyes. That's when I started viewing live musicians in a whole new light. Nothing bothers me more than a band that stands still while playing live. What's the point?! Why not just tell people to listen to your record at home while looking up pictures of you standing still on the internet?!
3. I remember hearing in an interview that you've been playing instruments for most of your life (and those who are fans of Patent Pending/This Good Robot are well aware that you come from a musically inclined family). What instrument did you start with, and how do you feel you've evolved as a musician since then?
The first instrument I ever came in contact with was our family's piano. I would sit at it and just make noise for extended periods of time. I can't imagine that having been enjoyable for anyone else in the family but for me it was a blast. I never learned to properly play a piano though which I do regret.
I got a guitar for my 8th birthday and started taking basic lessons just to learn how to play some songs. After a few months I quit lessons and continued my learning by listening and fumbling around the fret board alone. Retrospectively I'm glad I didn't let anyone tell me the rules of how to properly go about playing and writing on guitar. I always played sports so I had teams and coaches that I had to work with to accomplish a goal but with guitar I was in charge which was a nice change of pace. No one was there to tell me what to do which is a good feeling.
4. Have you ever played a prank on another band you've been on tour with? If so, what was the best prank you've done?
I was working for a band called Every Avenue around the time when "icing" people was popular. That's when you hide smirnoff ices for friends to find and when they do they have to chug the whole thing. We were out with a band called Sing It Loud in Texas and I hid smirnoffs all over the stage so before they started playing each one had to chug one. That wasn't the prank though. The real prank was during load out that night I hid an extra large smirnoff in their guitar tech's equipment. It spent the night slowly warming in their trailer. The next day was around 100 degrees in Texas. By the time their guitar tech was setting up his station it was late in the afternoon and that smirnoff must have been as close to burning hot as it could be without evaporating. Needless to say, it wasn't a great night for him.
5. Alright, now some specific This Good Robot questions. When the band formed, you guys were an 8 piece – now you have 6 members. How has the band's sound changed since its start (or has it not)?
All of the predominant writers are still in the band so stylistically we haven't really changed all that much. If anything we've only become better at playing these songs because of how much we've matured and practiced as players over the years. Specifically live we just have a little less in the way of auxiliary percussion and maybe a synth line is missing here or there but altogether not much has changed.
6. As a Long Island native, has the music scene been supportive of your projects, or did you find it hard to find an audience?
The Long Island music scene has been extremely supportive of my band and family over the years and we've made some of the best friends we'll ever have here. That being said, some nights we feel excluded. Some nights shows can be extremely clique-y but that's just the reality of being a musician. People show up to support their friend's bands but stand outside smoking cigarettes instead of watching anyone else. How do you know you don't like a band if you've never seen or heard them? It's more about the people around you than it is about the scene as a whole. We've played shows with bands when we know we just don't belong. It's a shame but it's the reality of social dynamics whether you're in a band or not. Sometimes you just won't belong but that shouldn't be enough to make you stop because the next night you'll be with the people you love playing the music you love so the Long Island scene will always be home to me because of the relationships we've built here and all that we've accomplished through it.
7. Can you explain This Good Robot's creative process for writing new material, and what you contribute to it?
Sometimes it starts with a concept like "what if we did a story about a dude time traveling back in time to meet himself for a brief moment before disappearing?" so we'll write bullet points for a story and then go back to try and build a melody and chord progression. Other times it starts with a melody in the shower being hummed into a cell phone and sent over to the rest of the band. There's no real equation that we use time and time again. It's more organic than that. We all come from different musical backgrounds so sometimes I'll bring an idea to the table that I just can't finish and one of the other dudes will point out that I've been thinking about the song all wrong and that we should try it a different way. We're all around for each other to depend on when we need a little straightening out because finishing songs alone can be difficult if you are too close to the project. You become biased towards your own ideas even if they're bad because you've only thought about the song in that one specific way. The rest of the band is there to kick your ass back to reality where shitty ideas are still just shitty.
8. The first time I saw This Good Robot perform, "Bohemian Rhapsody" was covered, and I was blown away. Does the band have any interest in covering more songs live/doing a cover album at any point?
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it! We are constantly talking about ideas for cover songs. We've filmed some acoustic covers and posted em on youtube and we've done a few others for our podcast (This Good Podcast on iTunes and sound cloud) but I don't think we'll ever do a proper cover album. There's also a few videos of us covering The Faint's "Agenda Suicide" live so I can't say we won't be doing more covers in the future but I'd be shocked if we decided to do a proper cover release.
9. The entire band wears formal clothing while performing on stage. How did this choice come about, and how much does changing out of it after the show suck?
Changing out of it is the worst! It just sticks to me and makes me cold after twenty minutes. The choice to dress up for shows came about from the dramatic aspect of what we're trying to do. All of our songs are stories or parts of stories that we've written and we try to convey that theatricality live which would be tougher to do if we all wore flannels and beanies like every other band in the scene. We needed to do something subtle that would draw a distinction between us and the sometimes 7 other bands on a bill. We wanted people at shows to remember us as the band that stood out instead of the band with the beards and cargo shorts.
10. Do you have any tips for aspiring musicians?
Play music that you want to listen to!! Don't join some pop rock band that uses backing tracks for bass and guitars when they play live just because you think they're going to make some money. If you ever join a touring band you are going to miss birthdays, holidays, weekends, weddings, funerals, births, friends, and family. There's no easy way around that fact, but it is much easier to deal with when you are working towards something that you truly believe in. I have met too many musicians who play in bands that they would never listen to and, surprise surprise, those bands never end up lasting very long so do something you're going to take pride in. Write songs that you are going to obsess over because you love them because otherwise you're basically just playing karaoke. That, and buy a tuner! There's nothing worse than watching an out of tune band stumble through their set.
This Good Robot has their first full length set to release in early 2015. You can find a teaser for the album's first single, "Super Spy", here:

Coach Enos addressed the media on Wednesday to discuss the Class of 2012. He talked about several things, including giving quick looks at each individual in the class. Here is what he had to say about the defense.
General Statement
We are very excited to add this group of young men to our football program. It is a versatile group of high-character individuals who will work hard to be successful academically and athletically. I am proud of the efforts of our coaches, who have worked tirelessly to bring this class together.
Tony Annese, Safety
He will hit you, he is tough. He is physical and very fast. We're going to start him out at the safety position, he has great ball skills. He came from a very good football program and he will be a very good football player.
Joe Bacci, Linebacker
We didn't offer him initially because we were low on scholarships, but we kept watching his tape. He was too tough, he was too physical and he tested outstanding at our camp. He ran a 4.6 (40 yard-dash) and was a great broad jumper. We think he will be a very big, physical guy who can move.
Winslow Chapman, Cornerback
Winslow will play corner for us. He is a 3.5 GPA student, already taking college courses this year. He is extremely tough, a guy who we are very familiar with at camp and has been up here many times with his family.
Jabari Dean, Defensive Tackle
He's at about 290 pounds already. He'll be at 300 pounds easy. He has great lateral quickness, he's explosive, he can move his feet and he can bend. He's a great student; he has a 3.5 GPA at Renaissance High School. He has the physical aspects to contribute early, but we'll see how that goes.
Jordan Fields, Safety
He's an outstanding football player. As a junior, he played a lot of defense and that caught our eye. He's physical, has great ball skills and he'll hit you. As a senior, he caught 67 passes and 13 touchdowns. He has a very physical nature, so we will play on him the defensive side of the ball.
Kavon Frazier, Defensive Back
When he came to camp, we saw a big, explosive guy. He reminds us of Courtney Williams. He's another good student; he scored 25 or 26 on the ACT. We are expecting big things from Kavon Frazier.
Brandon Greer, Safety
We recruited him as a safety that can thump you. He can run and he has good ball skills. Brandon is a great football player. He has excelled on offense and defense; he's another one of those big body guys who can do a lot of things. We're going to start him out on defense because he can hit and has good ball skills. He's a great kid who can make an impact on special teams as well.
Michael Jorde, Defensive Lineman
Mike is a guy who we feel has an unlimited amount of potential. He came to our camp and is unbelievably athletic. He can run, shred through blocks and he's a great student.
Kelby Latta, Defensive Tackle
He is in the Michigan High School All-Star Game. Other high school coaches in the state of Michigan have told me that he's the best high school lineman they've saw in 20 years. He's strong, tough, athletic, can bend and powerful. He'll play to the whistle and he's very tough.
Colton Odykirk, Safety
He's going to be a preferred walk-on for us. He's a local guy. He's going to play safety for us. He is a guy who did a lot of things for his high school team. He's going to contribute a lot to us.
Louis Palmer, Defensive End
This guy is an unbelievable defensive end. We didn't start recruiting him until December and it ended in January. He felt very comfortable here. He's explosive and he plays hard. The thing that set it for us was when we were watching other players highlight films against Cass Tech and Louis Palmer kept showing up.
Lance Sanders, Defensive End
This guy is focused and had over a 3.0 GPA. He is very determined and he's tough. He plays in the Catholic League in Chicago. He plays hard, tough and has a great family. He's going to be a very good player for us.
Anthony Scarcelli, Defensive Back
His dad, Tony, was a great player at Illinois and his uncle was a great player here. Anthony is a great player. He's tough; he broke the 100 meter record at Marine City at 10.67 seconds, and has great ball skills. We're going to play him on the defensive side of the ball at the start, but he's a great player who can play offense easily. When he hits people, he hits them well. He will put his hat on you.

I was having some music fun on my iPhone and I put together a quick Acid track. I recorded three apps into Ableton Live. There really is something to be said for bringing in audio from the outside world, even if it's from another computer. I like the slight noise and live interaction the iPhone apps forced. The combined price of all the applications I used here was $11.97. Imagine what a Roland TB-303, Roland TR-808, Akai S950 and Sequential Circuits Prophet 5 would have cost you 15 years ago?
Take a listen:
That took about 15 minutes to put together and it was true fun. So what applications did I use to create this?
The Roland TR-808 and TB-303 appear in my tune courtesy of Audiorealism's fantastic new iPhone app simply called technoBox. You could compare it to Propellerhead's now long gone Re-Birth. Here's a hint: when in TB-303 mode hit Shift-Gate for a random pattern!
My vocal stuttering away saying, "Yeah. Yeah. Make the music baby!" was recorded and played back by a super fun and simple application called Tapestri. You record some vocals and touch the waveform to play at whatever point.
The synth effects in my Acid track come from Pure Profit's Andriod FX. They also make BtBx but I think they hit a more useful mark with this nice application. You drag on the screen to make pitch and noises. There is a full info screen where you can tweak this little synth's sound until your pleased.
All three of these apps make me super happy. If your a electronic musician go grab them: Aciiiiid!

Election results released Wednesday morning show incumbent San Bernardino County District Attorney Michael A. Ramos securing a seat against his challenger, veteran county prosecutor Grover Merritt.
Ramos outpaced Merritt by 23 percentage points, or 61.44 compared to 38.56 percent. Ramos collected 71,553 votes compared to Merritt's 44,914, with 100 percent of precincts reporting.
"It's an honor to serve the citizens of San Bernardino County as District Attorney," Ramos said during his victory celebration Tuesday night at Romano's Restaurant in Redlands. "I have so much respect for my office and my lawyers and staff to do the work we do every day. It's not about me."
In 2015, Ramos said he will continue to aggressively prosecute gang and human trafficking crimes, and will work on expanding intervention and prevention programs for at-risk youth.
"If we're really going to make a difference in crime for our citizens we have to fight crime by investing in our kids, our children," Ramos said. "So I'm going to take that approach and I'm looking forward to it."
Ramos and Merritt have been longtime adversaries. Ramos fired Merritt in 2004 because he suspected him of leaking information on two high-profile cases to a newspaper reporter. Merritt denied the allegations, sued and got his job back, along with a $300,000 settlement from the county.
Since then, the two have maintained their distance – until now.
Ramos has served as District Attorney since 2002, replacing District Attorney Dennis Stout, who had filled the top prosecutor post since 1994. He has established several new units at his office since taking the helm, including the Public Integrity Unit, which is now jointly prosecuting the biggest corruption case in county history with the state Attorney General's Office.
Merritt, who has been endorsed by the San Bernardino County Republican Party, has been a county prosecutor for 26 years, specializing in identity theft and complex financial crime cases. He headed the office's Appellate Services Unit and was the 2000 recipient of the "Distinguished Service Award."

MA RAINEY'S BLACK BOTTOM Runs Thru 10/17 at Shadow Theatre Company
Ma Rainey'S BLACK BOTTOM by August Wilson, is currently running at Shadow Theatre Company, under Executive Artistic Director Keith L. Hatten. The show is directed by Hugo Jon Sayles. Performances run through October 17, 2009.
Ma Rainey'S BLACK BOTTOM, at one stroke, marked Pulitzer Prize-winner August Wilson's transition from novIce To celebrity. The first in his ten-play cycle and the only one not set in Pittsburgh, Ma Rainey's Black Bottom explores the racial realities of Black recording artists as embodied by the famous 1920s blues singer Ma Rainey. The playful banter and stories told by her musicians as they wait for the arrival of Ma Rainey illustrates lives and music during the time when Black music was making the move from the traditional blues to the new form of jazz. Come and see Shadow's new artistic director Keith L. Hatten light up the stage in his final performance in the state of Colorado along with a cast of other amazing actors! The cast features Ms. Wendelin Harston of Denver's own Queen City Jazz Band as Ma Rainey and Mr. Brett Scott as Irvin.
Shadow Theatre Company is located at 1468 Dayton Street, Aurora, CO. 80010. Founded by Jeffrey Nickelson in 1997, Shadow Theatre Company (Shadow) answered the artistic and spiritual necessity of creating an African American theatre for the Rocky Mountain region. Eleven years later, Shadow moved into a new state-of-the-art building, made possible in part through a partnership with the City of Aurora. Besides becoming Shadow's main performance venue, the new headquarters will serve as an arts incubator for the local community.
Under the leadership of new Artistic Director Keith L. Hatten, seasoned actor of stage and screen, Shadow looks forward to confirming its legacy as a theatre of excellence in the western region.
Shadow's performances continue to reflect upon the social morés of our time, challenging audience members to reconsider their own values, attitudes and actions. In addition to our theatrical season, each summer Shadow provides an intensive, five-week artist-in-residence program for area youth that culminates in a full production led, produced, directed and performed by program participants.
Shadow has presented 48 productions and received countless awards including the Mayors Award for Excellence in the Arts and numerous Denver Post Ovation Awards and nominations.

Fujikawa watches friend Darvish's near perfect game
PITTSBURGH -- Cubs pitcher Kyuji Fujikawa watched Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish come one out away from throwing a perfect game on Tuesday against the Astros.
"He's a good pitcher and I think he'll have opportunities in the future as well [to throw a perfect game]," Fujikawa said Wednesday through interpreter Ryo Shinkawa.
Fujikawa said he didn't send Darvish a congratulatory message, although the two are close. They trained together in the offseason for one week in Japan before coming to the U.S. for Spring Training.
"He's a guy who always has high goals for himself," Fujikawa said of Darvish. "It's good for me, too, to play off of that as well."
It was a fun game to watch, Fujikawa said.
"He's a good pitcher," he said in English.

Hi, everyone,
http://www.nationmultimedia.com/nationa … 91841.html
God bless.
A HA Percy, very interesting. I have another kind of Fish question for you. I have taken Fish Oil for years and today saw an article that Fish Oil does NOT do what we are told it does to prevent heart attacks and strokes. That if we eat fish 2 X a week it would be enough. Do you have a take on this?
Thanks for that Percy, very interesting. And I like Lainy take 1 cod liver oil capsule each day, think it's about 1000mg or so. I think that the advice re fish over here in the UK is 2 portions of oily fish such as salmon, mackerel, herrings etc is good for maintaining a healthy heart. Glad that kippers fall into the oily category as they are smoked herrings and I love them!
Hi, Lainy and Gavin,
I know for sure fish oil can help lowering of my high triglyceride level; my Gp ask me to take fish oil and it does lower the level as the lab results indicated.
But I eat fish once or twice a week instead when I am on Xeloda now; I do not want to have any drug-drug interactions between fish oil, Xeloda and Oncozac.
BTW, the link below may help unswer Lainy's question better than me.
http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/drug … l/993.html
God bless.
ok, am I the only one who burps fish oil taste all day if I take one? My husband take fish oil capsules religiously but I just can't!
Yay for kippers being oily fish too!
Percy, thanks! I totally forgot I was also taking Fish Oil for my Tryglycerides! AND my GP had said they were good for migraines which I only get like 2 a year now. The only fish I really like is salmon, trout and tuna. Kippers? Gavin and Randi? Don't think so. Teddy loved Sardines, probably because of his last name...Sardina LOL No, Randi, I don't get the burps from F.Oil. Again thanks Percy. Guess I reached a point where I am tired of taking so many "pills', will just continue, must be the Prednisone giving me wierd ideas again!
Randi...I can't take fish oil capsules either, but instead eat kippers, sardines (in oil) and other fish such as salmon, etc. Kippers (herring) and fish of that sort is known to be high in mercury; it is advised to consume it no more than twice per week. Go figure.
Yay for kippers indeed Randi!! I love em! I've never heard that about the mercury levels in them Marion, not good. Gonna ask my fishmonger about that when he gets back from his holidays in a weeks time. I can't be doing without my kippers!

Garden Talk: October 18, 2012
From NGA Editors
The Weekend Homesteader
Are you ready to move your food gardening up a notch, cut your grocery bills, and have a healthier diet? You can do all this with advice from Anna Hess in her new book, The Weekend Homesteader: A Twelve-Month Guide to Self-Sufficiency (Skyhorse Publishing, 2012, $17.95). Whether you have acres of land or only a small urban plot, you can put Hess's suggestions to use, devoting only a few hours each weekend to projects that will help you decrease your reliance on the grocery store and create a thriving garden ecosystem -- and you'll have fun in the process!
The book is organized by month, with seasonal projects to try throughout the year. From ″Plan your summer garden″ in April to ″Building a worm bin″ in June, ″Building a chicken coop or tractor″ in August, ″Storing vegetables on the shelf″ in October, ″Planting a fruit tree″ in December, and ″Growing edible mushrooms″ in March, there is a wealth of accessibly presented information that will let you either dip just a toe or dive right into homesteading. Each project lists the cost, time involved, and difficulty; has its ″kid-friendliness″ rated; and contains a list of supplies and tools needs. Helpful diagrams and color photographs enhance the text.
Hess writes from long personal experience. The former field biologist has put all her recommendations to the test on her fifty-eight acre homestead she shares with her husband in Virginia.
For more information on The Weekend Homesteader, go to: Skyhorse Publishing. Read more about Anna Hess's homesteading adventures on her blog, The Walden Effect.
Celebrate Food Day
As gardeners, many of us appreciate and experience the benefits of fresh, healthful, and sustainably grown food. But unfortunately not everyone in this country has access to these benefits. That's what the Center for Science in the Public Interest and a host of partnering national, state, and local organizations hope to change with the celebration of Food Day on October 24.
This nationwide series of events is designed to address issues such as health and nutrition, hunger, agricultural policy, farm worker justice, and farm animal welfare. Participation in an event in your community is a way to strengthen and unify the food movement and help promote safer, healthier diets, reduce hunger, support sustainable agriculture, protect the environment, make sure farm workers are fairly treated and farm animals are raised humanely.
An online Resource Guide provides information and ideas on many ways to participate, including a Food Day Dinner Party Kit, with everything you need to throw a memorable and informative Food Day dinner; a 2012 Food Day School Curriculum; even a Food Day suggested reading list.
To find out how to get involved, host an event of your own, or search for events in your area, go to: Food Day.
Brown Marmorated Stink Bug
There's a new pest on the block and it's raising quite a stink. Brown marmorated stink bugs are pests that were first found in this country in the late 1990s, presumably having hitched a ride in from Asia on shipping materials. Since then they have steadily expanded their range and are now a major pest in the Mid-Atlantic states and are working their way into many other parts of the country. These shield-shaped brown bugs are about the size of a dime and have alternating dark and light bands along their sides and on their antennae. (″Marmorated″ means ″mottled,″ by the way.) Females lay elliptical, light green eggs in clusters on the undersides of leaves, and in most areas these bugs are thought to have several generations per year. The newly hatched nymphs, or immature insects, are mottled with black and red.
Currently found in at least 36 states, these garden and agricultural pests attack a wide range of crops, including apples, apricots, cherries, grapes, peaches, peppers, tomatoes, and soybeans. They cause pitting and scarring of fruits, making them unfit for fresh and sometimes processed use, and their feeding can create entryways for disease. Researchers are still working to develop good control strategies for these pests on crops. Check with your local Cooperative Extension Service for the most current advice for your area.
Even non-gardeners may find themselves troubled by theses bugs, as brown marmorated stink bugs congregate in large numbers on and sometimes inside of buildings in the fall, looking for a sheltered spot to spend the winter. They don't bite or sting, but true to their name, they can emit a foul smell when swept up or crushed. Sealing up cracks and crevices with caulking and screening is the best strategy for keeping these bugs out. Vacuuming them up and disposing of the vacuum bag is the best option for dealing with home invaders that make it inside.
For more information about the identification and control of the brown marmorated stink bug , go to: EPA and Stop BMSB.
Purple Pearls
For a distinctive note of color in your fall garden, add this new beautyberry hybrid to your landscape. A cross between Callicarpa dichotema and Callicarpa kwantungensis, Purple Pearls™ beautyberry from Spring Meadow Nursery is a deciduous shrub with purple-tinged foliage that bears pink flowers in clusters up and down its stems in summer. But it?s in autumn that beautyberry really comes into its glory. The purple hue of the leaves deepens and flowers give way to clusters of large, purple-violet berries covering the branches. After the leaves turn yellow and fall, these berries hang on, providing a color note that blends beautifully with other fall hues. Purple Pearls™ grows a mere 4 to 5 feet tall and wide with an upright habit, making it easy to fit in many landscape settings. It does best in full sun and well-drained soil. Hardy in zones 6-8, it should be pruned in early spring before new growth begins. As an added bonus, it's reputed to be deer-resistant.
To find out more about Purple Pearls™, a Proven Winners® selection, go to: Spring Meadow Nursery.

Conceived in the heart of London's punk scene in 1976 by Stephane Raynor, Boy was a punk inspired brand that managed to evolve with London's subcultures from the punk scene in the 70's through the new romantic and acid house movements in the 80's and 90's. Boy's classic eagle emblazoned tee's had become a staple for any fashion fan before finally fizzling out in the 90's. Fortunately, the brand was relaunched in 2007 and continues to produce cutting edge apparel under a legendary label.

"Impressive:" That's the word that comes to mind when I think about how the market barely flinched as beloved Apple (AAPL) lost more than 10% Thursday. What was unimpressive, however, was that the S&P 500 keeled over after it climbed above 1500.
We started the month with folks fretting over the debt-ceiling debate. When was the last time you heard anything about that? Yes, I know: They took care of that in a vote the other day -- but what about sequestration? Remember how sick and tired you were of the fiscal-cliff terminology? I'll bet by the end of February you'll be sick of the word "sequestration." The deadline for those spending cuts is now March; how likely do you think it is that the two sides will agree peacefully on the details?
I don't imagine that we will wake up one day and this will suddenly be on the market's mind. Rather, I expect that it will slowly creep into the discussion on markets. Then it will become all anyone talks about. CNBC will probably start a clock with a countdown to March 1. Then they will start interviewing any Congressperson who wants to get on television and speak on the subject -- and, of course, folks on Twitter will start using the hashtag #sequestration.
Away from that, market statistics didn't change much from Thursday's action. Breadth was good but not superb. The number of stocks making new highs expanded beyond Wednesday's poor reading, but not more than what they had been doing. The put-call ratio remained subdued, showing more complacency but no giddiness. The banks, meanwhile, went sideways with the market, so there was neither outperformance nor underperformance.
In the meantime, I was asked about the copper chart. You may have noticed that this price has gone sideways lately. I do find it curious that the Chinese market has rebounded so substantially, and that U.S. housing is in recovery, and yet copper isn't budging. Silly me to think things actually move on economics these days.
In any case, copper is in a triangle formation. That's a pattern of indecision -- exactly what's conveyed by these higher lows and lower highs. While we would respect a break in either direction, the action lately doesn't seem to have the "oomph" to produce either kind of move right now.
There is one thing to watch, though: This recent copper rally hasn't carried it to the top line around $3.75 per pound. So if it falls before it can tag that upper line, it will most likely break $3.60 the next time down.
Here is where timing is important. For triangles to be effective, the eventual breakout should come somewhere between halfway and three-quarters of the way into the apex. Copper is currently at the three-quarters mark, by my estimation. So if it fails to break out of this trading range in the next few weeks, that'll likely mean the persistence of the range -- but a break in the next week should hold. Again, if it's to the downside, it'll mean a break of the $3.60 level.

TEN-MAN Swindon avoided a third defeat in a row in the Premiership as they held Team Bath Buccs A to a 1-1 draw at Isambard.
Injury forced the hosts to play the whole game a man down and from the start they soaked up pressure and counter-attacked when they could.
It was from one of these breaks that forward Tom Gillingham smashed home a cross from Luke Cejer to put the home side in front.
Swindon coped well with the resulting backlash, Rich Edwards marshalling the defence well and Alan Gough making several decent saves.
However, Team Bath made the breakthrough after the interval when they grabbed an equaliser from a penalty corner.
Despite their lack of personnel, Swindon poured forward and Tom Gillingham, Edwards and Jake Biddle went agonisingly close to grabbing a late winner Team Bath also had opportunities but a strong second-half performance from Tom Wickens and Lewis Dyer in defence helped seal a point for Swindon.
North Wilts finally lost their first game of the season in East Central 1 but bounced back in fine style.
A 4-2 defeat at fellow high-flyers Chippenham A on Saturday was followed up by a 3-1 victory at Marlborough B on Sunday.
Chippenham took the lead in the first of the weekend's games as they capitalised after goalkeeper Neil Smith failed to gather a tame shot.
The hosts extended their advantage after the break, before Colin Fisher set up Darren Hillier to round the keeper and pull a goal back.
However, Chippenham were not to be denied and two further goals rendered a later Darran Cragg effort nigh-on irrelevant.
On Sunday, North Wilts were 1-0 down to Marlborough at half-time, but in the second period Damo Holland levelled with a scrappy goal.
Shaun Montague, Jim Towers and Dan Conneely then combined superbly and Hillier tucked away his second goal of the weekend.
Conneely made the game safe with a third goal as he beat the goalkeeper at his near post.
Wootton Bassett secured a valuable 2-0 home win over Frys as they continued to battle the drop in Central 2.
The first half ended goalless but nine minutes after the resumption, Mark Turner converted a short corner.
In the closing stages, a breakaway resulted in a second goal for Turner and put the result beyond doubt.
North Wilts A held on for a 2-1 victory over Chippenham C in East Central 2.
The hosts took the lead midway through the first period, when George Bull chipped the keeper to bag his first goal of the season.
A fingertip save from Emmerson kept North Wilts in front at the break and eight minutes into the second half, skipper Momi doubled the lead from a short corner.
Bull might have made it 3-0 before Chippenham gave themselves hope, a short-corner shot looping off a home stick to beat Emmerson.
