SAN MARTIN — Former Cal star James Hahn of Alameda withdrew from the Frys.com Open before the first round suffering from food poisoning, according to a PGA Tour official.
Hahn, who gained notoriety finishing tied for third at the 2013 AT&T National Pebble Beach Pro-Am, along and his Gangnam Style dance at the Phoenix Open, didn't offer any early tweets regarding his ailment. He concluded the previous tour season with a missed cut at The Barclays to finish 110th in FedExCup standings. John Merrick also withdrew on Thursday morning with an injury.
The withdrawals enabled former Stanford player Alex Aragon and Tim Wilkinson spots in the season-opening event. Aragon surged to the leader board with three birdies on the back nine to move to 3-under. Aragon earned his first title on the Nationwide Tour (now the Web.com Tour) at TPC Stonebrae in Hayward in 2012,
Jeff Overton and Kyle Stanley share the early Frys.com Open lead at 5-under

A chase that began after a robbery in Mansfield and continued after a carjacking in Midlothian finally ended with a crash in Corsicana.
Police said the man held up a check-cashing store in Mansfield at about 6 p.m. Officers saw him leave the store and chased him to Midlothian, where he wrecked his vehicle.
The man then stole a passing driver's car at gunpoint, police said.
The chase moved through Waxahachie before the suspect flipped his vehicle along Interstate 45, a few miles north of Corsicana.
At some point during the 60-mile chase, the man was shot in the knee. Investigators declined to say when the man was shot.
He was taken to Parkland Hospital and is expected to survive the shooting.

Experts to continue crash probe
Investigators will try to establish what caused a helicopter to plunge into the North Sea, killing four oil workers, after the wreckage was recovered from the water.
The Super Puma was carrying 16 passengers and two crew from the Borgsten Dolphin platform when it crashed into the sea off Shetland on Friday evening, killing three men and one woman. It is not yet known what caused the CHC-operated helicopter to ditch as it approached Sumburgh airport on the southern tip of the main island.
Rescuers recovered three bodies in the aftermath of the incident and the fourth was removed from the wreckage yesterday. Two of the 14 survivors remain in hospital.
Tributes have been paid to the victims, named as Duncan Munro, 46, from Bishop Auckland, County Durham; George Allison, 57, from Winchester, Hampshire; Sarah Darnley, 45, from Elgin in the Highlands; and 59-year-old Gary McCrossan, from Inverness.
Misty conditions on Sunday night hampered efforts to salvage the wreckage and transport it back to shore for examination by a team from the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB).
It is understood that the remains of the Super Puma AS332 L2 were eventually lifted on to the deck of the vessel Bibby Polaris which was due to travel to a mainland port. It is hoped information on the helicopter's black box recorder will help establish the cause of the crash.
Shetland coastguard manager John Webster told the Press Association: "The heavy-lift ship is out at the moment trying to recover what wreckage it can from the sea. After that the AAIB will decide where to take it."
All Super Puma flights to and from UK offshore installations have been suspended, prompting a meeting of oil and gas industry chiefs today to discuss the impact on platform workers. CHC has grounded the model involved in the crash and suspended all UK flights of three other Super Puma types. Fellow operators Bond Offshore Helicopters and Bristow have also enforced a temporary suspension of all Super Puma flights except emergency rescue missions.
It follows a recommendation by the offshore industry's Helicopter Safety Steering Group (HSSG) which urged the precautionary measure until there is "sufficient factual information" to resume flights. The HSSG is made up of representatives from oil and gas firms, contractors, helicopter operators, offshore unions, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
The group will meet again on Wednesday to review the suspension unless it becomes aware of any "significant" information before then. Industry body Oil & Gas UK has arranged a meeting of operators and major contractors in Aberdeen on Monday to discuss ways of minimising the impact of the grounding of flights on the offshore workforce.

It's just as well that the movie version of Ann Howard Creel's novel, "The Magic of Ordinary Days" was made for, and showed on, the Hallmark channel. A calm, reassuring film with deliberate pacing and a slightly off-kilter personality, "Ordinary Days" is not flashy in any way. In fact, the film's opening, utilizing some truly lousy scene-in-scene flashbacks, might just be the bane of director Brent Shields' existence. If they're anything, movie directors are notorious for seeing and hating all the little imperfections of their movie, and that minute-long opening, with young Livy (Keri Russell) riding in a train and remembering her father's words, is quite embarrassing.
Thankfully, the rest of the film is quite good, with a strong, solid cast of young actors in the lovely city bred Keri Russell ("We Were Soldiers") and stoic, but compassionate country farmer Skeet Ulrich. The two have excellent chemistry, made all the more convincing because of the assured script by Camille Thomasson. The film is languid in its pacing, careful to establish credible personalities instead of rushing headfirst into its inevitable and clich'd climax. And although the ending is in fact quite predictable, very little else about "The Magic of Ordinary Days" is.
Set in 1944 Colorado, with World War II raging overseas, the film stars Keri Russell as Livy, a archaeology graduate student whose studies was cut short by her mother's sickness and subsequent death. A distraught Livy finds shelter in the arms of a soldier who is promptly shipped overseas, but not before getting Livy pregnant. "Convinced" by her father that the only course of action is to enter into an arranged marriage with Ray Singleton (Ulrich) and have the baby in the country, far from the family's social circles, Livy all but abandons her old life to join her new, stranger husband at his farm.
From here, "The Magic of Ordinary Days" chronicles Livy's slow embrace of her new surroundings, and does it in such a gradual and honest way that when Livy inevitably accepts her new life, it's believable and, because we care about Ray Singleton as a man and human being, grateful. The performances by the two leads are really what make "Ordinary Days" as good as it is. Although with significantly less screentime than Russell, Ulrich still makes a fine portrait of a good man determined to make good. His Ray is a man who believes that, just perhaps, Livy's appearance in his life is a sign of God.
We also learn that Ray's younger brother was killed at Pearl Harbor during the Japanese surprise attack. This has consequences in the present, where Livy discovers, much to her joy, that two of the Japanese women working in Ray's field (on loan from the Japanese internment camp nearby) are not only college educated, but all too eager to embrace her friendship. The three strikes up an alliance, a situation made easy by their separate, but relatable nonetheless, predicaments. The Japanese women are American-Japanese sisters, and young Florence (Tania Gunadi) hides the pain of internment behind a mask of smiles. Older sister Rose (Gwendoline Yeo) is easier to decipher, not having quite the layer of façade that her younger sister has built up over the short years.
"The Magic of Ordinary Days" is a rare animal for a TV movie — it's engaging from beginning to end and seems unbothered by necessary TV breaks that, for this DVD, show up in disruptive fades to black. I'm sure "Days" wouldn't have worked as well if not for the subdued and believable performances of Russell and Ulrich, with Mare Winningham as Ray's sister providing dashes of color. "Days" does well by taking its time, and within the confines of the movie, and what we've seen up to that point, the ending works beautifully (the superfluous German POW subplot notwithstanding).
Another plus is that, for a TV movie, "Ordinary Days" is very well directed, with some rich visuals one doesn't usually find in films of the genre. The countryside looks inviting and grand, and there is a homely welcoming feel that easily engages the viewer, especially those who have never experienced such surroundings. The script handles Livy's unexpected pregnancy with class, getting the point across without wandering aimlessly into crassness, and that goes for most of the film. For a movie shot on a TV budget, "The Magic of Ordinary Days" delivers great bangs for the buck.

Live Commentary
That will do it for me today guys and girls! I've been Alex Moretto, and I'd like to thank you all for joining me as Manchester United claimed a narrow 1-0 win over Norwich City. Thanks all. Good bye!
Meanwhile, a win for Manchester United moves them into a tie with Moyes' former club, Everton, who play host to Southampton on Sunday.
FULL TIME: NORWICH CITY 0-1 MANCHESTER UNITED The Red Devils win their fourth straight league game for the first time under David Moyes, and improve their unbeaten run on the road to 11 matches thanks to substitute Danny Welbeck's second half winner. It was hardly convincing from the visitors, but it's another solid road effort put in by the men in red. Norwich will rue missed opportunities in the first half, but seemed to tire as the match went on. A date with Crystal Palace awaits the Canaries on New Year's Day, as they inch ever closer to crisis mode!
90' + 5'Yellow Card Chris Smalling
90' + 5'PHIL DOWD BLOWS THE WHISTLE! That will do it here at Carrow Road! It wasn't pretty, but Manchester United do enough to claim all three points and keep the pressure on the top four.
90' + 4'The cross is dealt with quite easily, and that will surely be it now!
90' + 4'LAST CHANCE FOR NORWICH! Murphy and Smalling battling down the left and Murphy wins a free kick from the side of the box. Last chance here!
90' + 2'Yellow Card Nathan Redmond
90' + 2'Norwich having no success getting the ball forward, as they turn it over yet again and United push forward again and win a corner. They'll play it short again, surely.
90' + 1'The Red Devils back on the ball, and Nathan Redmond concedes a free kick just outside the box for his tackle on Patrice Evra, and is shown a rather harsh yellow card by Phil Dowd, who hasn't tolerated any nonsense today.
90'Norwich finally win back possession deep in their own end, and they'll have four minutes of added time to salvage something from the match.
89'SubstitutionWesley Hoolahan Johan Elmander
89'And now a corner for United. They will be in no rush to take this. Meanwhile, Johan Elmander comes on as the final substitution for Norwich in place of Wes Hoolahan.
87'United keeping possession down by the corner flag, and earn themselves a throw which elicits a roar from the traveling supporters.
86'SubstitutionJavier Hernández Darren Fletcher
86'The experienced Darren Fletcher is making his return now, as he's brought on for Javier Hernandez to try and milk the final minutes off the clock.
84'Now Evra is down clutching his head after a collision, perhaps wasting a bit more time for the visitors.
83'Finally a shot for Norwich. The ball is served up for Murphy who hits his effort with great confidence, but it flies over. It would have required something special to score from there.
82'You can see why the Red Devils haven't been beaten on the road in ten matches. It may not be pretty, but it doesn't have to be. They're keeping the ball and frustrating the opposition. Time is quickly dwindling down for Norwich.
80'Norwich pressuring the United ball carriers as much as possible. They're finding ways to win the ball back, now it's a matter of doing something with it.
79'SubstitutionRobert Snodgrass Josh Murphy
79'Another substitution for Norwich, as the 18-year-old Josh Murphy is brought on for Robert Snodgrass. Ten minutes left for the hosts to find an equalizer.
77'Norwich beginning to get a bit frustrated here. They're struggling to break through this United defence, and the space they were finding down the flanks in the first half has all of a sudden disappeared.
75'STAT ATTACK: The Canaries have picked up just five points from a possible 15 so far in December.
73'APPEALS FOR A PENALTY!! Hoolahan is brought down in the box by Evra and immediately players calling for a penalty. Phil Dowd says no, however, much to the dismay of the Norwich players.
71'Interesting. Sounds like Hooper picked up an injury to his left hamstring. I didn't see anything, but that's the word from the Norwich sidelines.
70'Meanwhile, it's Kagawa who makes way for Januzaj as Moyes looks to hold onto this lead.
69'SubstitutionGary Hooper Ricky van Wolfswinkel
69'SubstitutionShinji Kagawa Adnan Januzaj
69'Wow, an interesting substitution from Norwich. It's their leading goalscorer Gary Hooper who makes way for Ricky van Wolfswinkel. With a New Year's Day fixture against Crystal Palace, perhaps Hughton wants to preserve his star striker as much as possible for what could be a six point fixture coming up.
68'HERNANDEZ! The ball is passed into the feet of the Mexican, who lets fire from outside the box. His shot is stopped easily by Ruddy.
66'Hoolahan concedes a free kick now to United, much to the dismay of the home fans. The ball is played back and United content on passing it around, forcing Norwich to come at them.
65'The Welbeck goal has breathed the life out of the match. Norwich are hesitant to press to early and leave themselves vulnerable at the back, while United are content with passing it around and slowing the pace of the match down to a stand still.
64'Yellow Card Bradley Johnson
63'STAT ATTACK: The Red Devils have not lost away from home in any competition since they were beaten by Manchester City 4-1 in September - a run of ten games (six wins, four draws)
61'United enjoying possession now. They look a completely different team than that in the first half.
59'Yellow Card Ryan Bennett
59'Hughton's hand might be forced now, as he will likely have to bring on a second striker with his team trailing.
58'Welbeck continues to create havoc moments after scoring! He bolts through the midfield and Bennett is forced to take him down, resulting in a yellow card for the defender.
57'Assist Javier Hernández
57'Goal Danny Welbeck
56'GOAAAAAAAAAAL!!! WELBECK! An inspired substitution from David Moyes! He dances by two Norwich players before a heavy touch falls to Bennett, but he blasts the clearance right at Welbeck and he's able to break in, round the keeper and slot home for United. It was a fortunate bounce for Welbeck, but some suspect defending from Norwich. Ruddy absolutely livid!
54'After a cracking start to the second half, the teams have both settled in now and the pace has slowed a bit. Both teams still looking to press forward in numbers when in possession.
52'Ashley Young playing on the ball with real confidence now. He gets into space again but this time his cross is poor, resulting in a goal kick.
50'We're getting dearly close to an opening goal here! You can feel it coming, the crowd is absolutely buzzing! Fantastic stuff.
49'REDMOND NOW!! What a start to the half! This time Norwich break and Redmond is found in space inside the box. He gets a shot off that beats De Gea but sails inches wide of the far post!
48'YOUNG! He's looked very lively to start this second half! Here he is running at defenders and gets a shot off, but it sails just over.
47'Finally some life from United! Young delivers a beautiful ball in, finding Kagawa at the far post but he can't chest it down and it's blown dead for a handball. Kagawa really should have done better there.
46'SubstitutionRyan Giggs Danny Welbeck
46'The second half is underway! Moyes doesn't wait any longer to make a change as Danny Welbeck comes on for Ryan Giggs. Let's see if Welbeck can breathe life into the team in the second half.
Hughton on the other hand will like what he saw from his team in the first half, and has Elmander and van Wolfswinkel at his disposal if he decides to go for it. There is a strong possibility that he will not want to wait as long as possible to tamper with the team, however, and can you really blame him?
You wonder how much longer it will be until Moyes decides to make a change. Injuries have dealt United quite a blow, and perhaps an underwhelming performance was to be expected early on with all the changes to the starting XI. The Red Devils will likely regroup at the interval, but barring a drastic improvement in their performance, expect the introduction of Januzaj, Welbeck or Zaha after 10-15 minutes.
Shots in the first half were Norwich City 11, Manchester United 3. Clearly a gulf in class between the two teams after the opening 45.
HALF-TIME: NORWICH CITY 0-0 MANCHESTER UNITED A fine performance from Norwich City, who have really taken the game over. They will take pride in their performance from that first half, but will perhaps be concerned that they have nothing to show for it. Still, a very poor showing from the visitors who are desperately missing the services of Wayne Rooney and Antonio Valencia. Luckily for them, they remain tied after being outplayed for 45 minutes. Still everything to play for in the second half.
45' + 3'That's the last of the first half action as the whistle blows and it's a bit of relief for Manchester United who can get into the room and regroup.
45' + 3'United can hardly keep the ball for more than 30 seconds! Another turnover, and Martin breaks down the right, beats Evra easily, and pulls it back for Snodgrass who fires wide.
45' + 1'Chance for Norwich!! They pass the ball into the box nicely, but can't come up with a shot on target. Pressure stays on as they win a corner, but it's cleared yet again by United.
45'Ashley Young now with a shot for United. It was never going in, but still a sign of life here from the Red Devils in the closing moments of the first half.
44'STAT ATTACK: Manchester United have won five straight matches in all competitions, for the first time under David Moyes.
43'Corner for Norwich again now! They've had plenty this half, but like all the others, the header is won by United and cleared. Evans looks to have gotten the worse end of a collision there and the medical staff comes out to check on him.
41'Hernandez gets behind the two center backs but he's ruled offside. Silly mistake there as he just mistimes his run. Could have been easily avoided. Meanwhile, Ashley Young is hobbling and looks to have maybe picked up a knock. We'll how long he carries on.
39'END TO END STUFF HERE!! Hoolahan dances his way into the box and gets into a glorious area but his shot is blocked by Evans! Real scoring chance for Norwich! United break the other way and Kagawa gets the first shot on target for them, although it never really bothered Ruddy.
37'United finally with a bit of pressure of their own, resulting in a Giggs effort that's sent miles over the target. The visitors are still without a shot on target, as Kagawa's earlier ball was counted as a cross. They're missing Rooney desperately right now.
36'Redmond attacks Smalling now down the left and wins another corner for Norwich. The corner results in an attempt on goal, but it's hit straight into the waiting arms of De Gea.
35'Free kick is cleared easily and Young breaks out down the left. His ball for Kagawa is poor and Norwich are back in possession yet again!
34'Yellow Card Javier Hernández
34'Phil Dowd is trying to keep control over this game, as Hernandez is shown yellow now and Snodgrass with another opportunity to cross the ball in from a free kick.
32'Fer is shown yellow now for a tackle on Evra. Based on the replay it looks like there was very little contact there, if any. The Frenchman went down quite easily.
31'Yellow Card Leroy Fer
30'Despite a surge from Norwich, the visitors are still enjoying almost 65% possession, which is quite surprising actually. Norwich have been the better team so far you would have to say.
29'Hoolahan tries his luck from about 40? 50? yards out. Real hopeful from the midfielder, De Gea waits and collects.
28'Norwich upping the pressure! Snodgrass crosses it in three times in succession, but some good defending in the box from United prevents any real scoring chances. Still, the visitors have taken a back seat in the last 10 minutes.
26'Yellow Card Ryan Giggs
26'Snodgrass causing all kinds of trouble here for the United defence. He tries to hurdle Giggs, but is toppled over, winning a free kick in a very dangerous area and resulting in a yellow card for the Welshman.
24'Norwich attacking Evra now down the right flank with plenty of success. Snodgrass has his cross turned aside and it's another corner for the hosts.
23'Snodgrass finds some space at the top of the box, but his left-footed effort never came close to finding the target and United finally back in possession.
22'HOOPER!! Again Norwich come so close to the opener!! Martin plays a low cross right to the feet of Hooper who smacks his shot straight at De Gea! United playing on the back foot here!
21'The Canaries playing with some confidence now enjoying some possession of their own.
19'Now a free kick for Nowrich from about 35 yards out. Snodgrass whips it into a dangerous area, it's cleared by Vidic right back to the feet of Snodgrass who blasts his volley well over the bar.
18'That was really a fine save from De Gea. It's shocking how cleanly Evra got beat by Martin. He was caught flat footed and it nearly resulted in the opening goal for Norwich.
16'Two corners in succession for Norwich who keep the pressure on the United back four! Nothing comes of it, however, and the visitors finally clear the danger.
14'NEARLY AN OPENER FOR NORWICH!! It should really be 1-0!! De Gea makes a fine save on Martin who blew by Evra, and Hoolahan can't quite get a touch on the rebound as it's turned out for a corner.
13'The Red Devils have enjoyed over 75% possession in the early stages, but only one real chance to show for it. Norwich are doing a good job of pressing the United midfielders and forcing plenty of negative build-up early on here.
12'STAT ATTACK: Only Fulham have conceded more than the 31 league goals Norwich have let in this season.
10'Norwich are trying to press up the pitch as much as possible, despite not having much possession early on. That should result in plenty of space for Kagawa and Hernandez who have looked sharp early on.
7'We have a bit of a coming together here between Vidic and Hooper! The striker rides the back of the defender, who wins a free kick right up against the by-line. Vidic looked quite annoyed with Hooper after the whistle. It's not a bad idea, that, to get under the skin of the United defenders early on.
6'FIRST CHANCE UNITED!! The ball falls nicely for Kagawa who tests Ruddy with his half-volley, but the keeper is up to the task and Norwich break the other way...
5'United passing the ball well early on, with players making some nice runs off the ball.
3'The pressure will fall on the shoulders of Shinji Kagawa today in the absence of Wayne Rooney. He scored a hat-trick against Norwich at Old Trafford in March of last season.
2'The Norwich fans singing loud and proud in the early stages here! It really makes for a great atmosphere.
1'Some fireworks less than 30 seconds in as Hernandez is bundled over by Ryan Bennett, and takes a hard fall on the gravel that lines the pitch.
1'And we're underway at Carrow road as Manchester United get it started, moving right to left.
The players have taken the pitch and the match is about to start!
Norwich will come into the match with some confidence having won two of three meetings against Manchester United all-time in the Premier League, however, the away team's recent form will have to be a concern for Chris Hughton.
Chris Hughton has made a few changes to his line-up as well after their midweek loss to Fulham. Russell Martin and Ryan Bennett start in place of Steven Whittaker and Michael Turner, who picked up a suspension after accumulating too many yellow cards. Johan Elmander also takes a seat on the bench with Wes Hoolahan taking his place behind Gary Hooper.
NORWICH CITY XI (4-5-1): Ruddy; Martin, Bennett, Bassong, Olsson; Snodgrass, Johnson, Hoolahan, Fer, Redmond; Hooper. SUBS: Whittaker, van Wolfswinkel, Bunn, Elmander, Garrido, Becchio, Murphy.
Plenty to talk about regarding David Moyes' starting XI. Wayne Rooney misses the match with a groin injury, but will be available for the New Year's Day clash with Tottenham. Rafael and Valencia are also out after picking up an injury and suspension respectively midweek against Hull. Vidic returns for them, with Smalling slotting over to right-back, while Michael Carrick starts for the first time since November 10th.
MANCHESTER UNITED XI (4-4-1-1): De Gea; Smalling, Evans, Vidic, Evra; Young, Cleverley, Carrick, Giggs; Kagawa; Hernandez. SUBS: Anderson, Lindegaard, Welbeck, Fabio, Fletcher, Zaha, Januzaj
The teams have been announced, so let's have ourselves a look at today's starting line-ups:
After a horrid start to the season, Hughton's side managed eight points from their five league matches heading into Christmas, but a loss at home to relegation candidates Fulham has them ready to press the panic button. A result today would go a long way in boosting the team's confidence heading into the New Year.
The home side comes into this game with a very different view of the table. They sit three places out of the relegation zone, but a bad day can see them drop into the bottom three. Chris Hughton has come under a lot of pressure again after falling 2-1 to Fulham midweek. The Canaries have now lost three home matches this season, after losing just one in the second half of last season. Carrow Road will have to return to the fortress it proved to be last season if Norwich want to avoid a long and stressful 2014.
The Red Devils fell 1-0 last season at this same venue, thanks to a second half goal from Andy Pilkington, but Moyes has his men back to their old ways, winning five straight in all competitions, after failing to win any of their first three league matches in December.
David Moyes has the Red Devils back on track at the moment, and the attack is firing on all cylinders. Manchester United looked eerily similar to last year's championship team as they battled back from 2-0 down to win 3-2 at Hull City on Boxing Day as they did so many times last season. They will be desperate to pick up maximum points from today's fixture as they look to make up ground on the top four after an unconvincing start to the month.
Good afternoon Premiership fans around the world, and welcome to today's all-important contest between Manchester United and Norwich City at Carrow Road. I'm Alex Moretto and I'll be your in-game host, guiding you through the match LIVE as it happens!

I ordered and returned two dresses from Simply Dresses. They were intended for a military ball. I have been buying ball gowns for over 20 years and this is the first time I have ordered from Simply Dresses. When the dresses arrived I was so surprised and how cheaply made they were. One was $350 and the other was $310. I was so disappointed, they looked nothing like the pictures. In addition, their return policy is absurd. They stand behind their products yet they charge a 10% restocking fee if you're unhappy. When the dresses are over $300 that can definitely add up. Not only will I not order from them again but I will be sure to tell friends and family of this as well.

Strikeforce's forthcoming effort grew this week when the organization announced a trio of new bouts for the September 29 show including a pairing providing proof that the organization's interest in female fights extends beyond those involving Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, and Sarah Kaufman.
According to Strikeforce officials, hard-hitting Brazilian bantamweight Amanda Nunes will clash with unbeaten Cat Zingano at the event, while welterweights Nah-Shon Burrell and Yuri Villefort will look to bounce back from defeat in their most recent rumbles rather than suffer a second consecutive loss. Also added was a fight between lightweights Jorge Gurgel and Mizuto Hirota.
Nunes, who holds a 7-2 record, has scored stoppages against every opponent she's faced including those in bouts against Julia Budd, Vanessa Porto, and Raquel Pa'aluhi. Comparably, Zingano has compiled a 6-0 mark thus far in her career with finishes in five of her victories and success against the likes of Barb Honchak/Carina Damm.
The 22-year old Burrell suffered his first loss under the Strikeforce banner in May, falling by strikes to Chris Spang. Overall he is 8-2 with six TKOs to his credit. Likewise, Villefort also came up short in his last outing but had won all six of his previous fights entering the affair.
Gurgel is 14-8 with ten submissions and a propensity for putting it all on the line to entertain fans. Meanwhile, Hirota lost by decision in his Strikeforce debut to top contender Pat Healy but is 14-5-1 with success against the likes of Mitsuhiro Ishida and Satoru Kitaoka.
Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Healy is headlined by lightweight champion Gilbert Melendez putting his gold up for grabs against grizzled veteran Healy. Other bouts attached to the card include Jorge Santiago-Quinn Mulhern and Josh Thomson-Caros Fodor.

You aren't using a valid doctype. Read the sticky in the html/css forum about doctypes.
Your code doesn't validate. See your errors here.
There is no need for 3 different stylesheets. One is okay.
Your stylesheets don't validate either. See your errors here.
Your menu is massive and the colors are clashing with the red. Menu should be smaller in size. Maybe think about breaking it up a bit more. It also relies on javascript. There are alternatives such as the suckerfish menus.
Also what is up with the "glow/shadow" effect on your menu links in IE? It makes things hard to read. I suggest you test your site in firefox and make it work then hack it for IE.

General English style and grammar is a problem here too. You shouldn't use capitals within the title element of your page--this is generally accepted to be shouting rather than typographic expression. Within headings it's usually okay, but I've modified your page and it's much easier to read and looks better in u&lc. Womens is not a word (possessive of women is women's).
I do adore the header and footer! I don't, though, think it goes with the red and the rest of it; perhaps you should keep with the color scheme within the images? As Aero said, they repeat and look odd.Blog | Twitter

On my low resolution (although common), when your page loads, all I see is your header and adsense. I don't actually see any content. Ads like that put me off spending time on a site.

I appreciate your feedback and have done some modifications, but I still have a lot more to do!. This is my first site so I appreciate I have so much to learn. Now to try to get to grips with the code, can you recommend where I can learn to put this right?.
What do I need to do to correct the problem with the left column? what proportion of people have jacascript disabled?. What font family do you think would be a better choice?
"Menu should be smaller in size. Maybe think about breaking it up a bit more. It also relies on javascript."
I made the menu large for ease of seeing the list, I will look at other options like suckerfsh as you recommend. Again a concern over the use of javascript! I will look at options on this, any pointers as to which sites have a better menu would be apreciated.
"what is up with the "glow/shadow" effect on your menu links in IE" I checked in Firefox and it looked fine. I will look using IE and make some modifications.
I really appreciate your feedback and will carry on working on the modifications.

Well personally, I think your site is excessive on the advertising. I mean it's not even well thought out advertising. The first AdSense code should be a banner width and height.
Then you have all of those what I'm assuming are affiliate banners going down your entire navigation bar.
Lastly, you have those "now just in" boxes. They are adding size to your size. It should be on the bottom of the page, if at all. Your goal should be to keep users on your size is it not?
So pretty much, I'm going with the fact that if you want to get your site off the ground, you're probably going to need to reduce the advertising on a huge scale.
Instead of making all those large affiliate banners, why not make your navigation bar look a bit neated. Decrease the size of the link fonts in the navigation bar, and make more links instead of having one main topic with about 15 choices from there. The easier the user can find what they are looking for, the better you'll do in educating them and keeping them coming back.
Hopefully you see that I'm trying to help you

Here is my opinions.
The right template border is broken in my browser. FF2 1024X768.
The webpage is extremely long, you have to scroll forever to find what you want. You should spread it out on alot of pages or use pagination.
You have 5 words all linked to the same menu. This can be change to just like "Articles" or something.
The white text in the bar at the top is top-aligned. It should be centered in the bar.
Also the blue colored links on the footer are unreadable.
I hope this information is helpful.

I would suggest looking at your fonts and readability of the page. The sides look like they have been cut off too. Sorry if this sounds a bit harsh buddy but this is a review of the site. I do however like the header and footer. Just think you should shuffle things around a bit to see what you come up with and then ask us again.

The buzz of mosquitoes are more than simply annoying. Consider it a warning for danger from now until the first killing frost.
The buzz of mosquitoes are more than simply annoying. Consider it a warning for danger from now until the first killing frost.
The Marion Rochester Regional Health District announced Tuesday, Sept. 11, that the first case of Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) in an animal had been confirmed in Rochester.
"A horse stabled in the Town of Rochester has been confirmed with the EEE infection," Karen Walega, health director for the Marion Rochester Regional Health District, said. "This raises the risk of EEE in Rochester to critical, and high in Marion. Communities that have been designated as either 'critical' or 'high' are urged to cancel all planned evening outdoor events for the remainder of the season until the first hard frost."
Later that day, Mattapoisett Selectmen confirmed at their Sept. 11 meeting that the EEE virus had been found in mosquitoes collected in Mattapoisett. Mattapoisett Health Agent Dale Barrows notified Mattapoisett Selectmen in a Sept. 7 memo that the Massachusetts Department of Public Health captured mosquitoes in Mattapoisett that were found to be infected with the EEE virus.
EEE is a rare but serious illness spread by the bite of an infected mosquito. While EEE can infect people of all ages, people younger than 15 years of age or over 50 years of age are at greatest risk for the serious illness. There have now been four confirmed human cases of EEE in Massachusetts's residents, according to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
Last week, Walega confirmed that the West Nile virus (WNv) was also detected in mosquitoes captured in Rochester. WNv has not been an issue in the Tri-towns these past few years, compared to EEE, but it has made a big come back this year, say local health officials.
"On a scale of 10, state public health officials are saying they give it between a four and five. I really give it a nine," Walega said. "The West Nile virus is being seen throughout the county. It's not as serious as EEE but it is serious and the state is testing for it."
Walega said there has been four reported confirmed WNv cases in the state of people who've contracted the virus, which can have lethal repercussions. She said there are no confirmed cases of the virus locally, which can cause encephalitis or meningitis, both dangerous brain-swelling diseases that can lead to death.
Between 2000 and 2010, 67 people were reported with WNv infection in Massachusetts. Six of these people died, according to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
By taking a few commonsense precautions, Walega and other public health officials people can help to protect themselves and their loved ones:
Avoid mosquito bites. Be aware of peak mosquito hours. The hours from dusk to dawn are peak biting times for many mosquitoes. Consider rescheduling outdoor activities that occur during evening or early morning. If you are outdoors at any time and notice mosquitoes around you, take steps to avoid being bitten by moving indoors, covering up, and/or wearing repellant.
Clothing can help reduce mosquito bites. Although it may be difficult to do when it's hot, wearing long sleeves, long pants, and socks when outdoors will help keep mosquitoes away from your skin.
Apply insect repellent when you go outdoors. Use a repellent with DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide), permethrin, picaridin (KBR 3023), IR3535 or oil of lemon eucalyptus [p-methane 3, 8-diol (PMD)] according to the instructions on the product label. DEET products should not be used on infants under 2 months of age and should be used in concentrations of 30 percent or less on older children. Oil of lemon eucalyptus should not be used on children under 3 years of age. Permethrin products are intended for use on items such as clothing, shoes, bed nets, and camping gear and should not be applied to skin.
Mosquito-proof your home.
Drain standing water. Many mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water. Limit the number of places around your home for mosquitoes to breed by either draining or getting rid of items that hold water. Check rain gutters and drains. Empty any unused flowerpots and wading pools, and change water in birdbaths frequently.
Install or repair screens. Some mosquitoes like to come indoors. Keep them outside by having tightly fitting screens on all of your windows and doors.
While the towns of Marion and Rochester continue to work closely with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and other agencies, they are asking residents to consider that all outdoor activities during peak mosquito activity hours, dusk to dawn, be cancelled or rescheduled. Also, a dusk to dawn curfew has been instituted for any uses of town-owned property until the first hard frost.
Information about EEE and reports of current and historical EEE virus activity in Massachusetts can be found on the Massachusetts Department of Public Health website at http://www.mass.gov/dph.

Enjoy the last excerpts from the interview:
The Igbo question. Do you feel they lack of leadership in Igbo land?
It depends on what you mean by leadership. We have about five governors in Igbo land, we have a deputy president of the Senate, we have a lot of ministers, we have a lot of political leaders.
President Jonathan when he was campaigning did a lot of things for the North and West, and it is alleged he even mobilised the traditional rulers in the North and West, but the Southeast backed him without negotiating even with its bad roads.
As I said in an interview in the past, Jonathan didn't treat us very well for the support he got in 2011; which he confessed to me himself was more than what he got from his people in the South-South.
He gave an example, that the people who were running against him tried to get a running mate from the Southeast, but none of them succeeded in getting a running mate from the Southeast to run against him; but even in his own South-South, Oyegun was a running mate to somebody; and when the election was over the Youth Corps members who were brutalised in Bauchi were people from the Southeast, not people from the South-South.
He told me this himself. So, he had every reason to be fair-minded and equitable in his distribution of resources. But we could not go from Enugu to Onitsha on a federal road, you couldn't go from Enugu to Port-Harcourt on a federal road, we couldn't go from Aba to Okigwe on a federal road; you couldn't go from Owerri on the federal road. None of the federal roads in the Southeast was motorable.
So, would you support the actions of MASSOB and IPOB for self-determination?
I am 83 years old going to 84 next month, my attitude to life cannot be that with those who are in their twenties or in their thirties. But there is something the emir of Kano said about the young Igbo people, that those who are in MASSOB or IPOB never knew Nzeogwu or Ojukwu and they may think that instead of living like slaves in their country that it may be better for them to wage war and lose, if they lose they may get a more honourable peace than the one that their parents got at the end of the 30 months civil war.

The Clarissa Street Reunion is an annual festival that takes place in one of the most culturally rich neighborhoods in Rochester. The event celebrates a neighborhood known for producing renowned jazz musicians in the 1940's, 1950's, and 1960's. Clarissa Street, which is located in the southwest quadrant of Rochester and in the old 3rd Ward, was a true melting pot that brought together people of Black, Italian, Irish, and Jewish descent. Streets were cobblestone and trolley cars were a familiar sight. The Clarissa Street Reunion, held annually since 1996, is a wonderful celebration of the memories and the relationships that were formed in the neighborhood.

Why do the instructions say to remove the frozen fish from the original packaging before thawing?
Asked by josie (27483) January 5th, 2014
Whole Foods sells deep frozen fish fillets in (apparently) vacuum plastic packaging. A great way to buy fish and use it for a quick dinner later.
The instructions say to remove it from the packaging and place it in a sealed bag to thaw.
What is that all about?

To coincide with the World Cup fever we're all currently suffering from, we've created a month's worth of content set to roll out over the course of this year's tournament.
Kicking off World Cup Month, we took 10 jerseys and reimagined them as if they were designed by famous fashion designers. Next, we took a more critical approach and asked if the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil is a Beautiful Game or Social Injustice? Keeping things in perspective, we questioned whether or not the classic football jersey will ever truly be stylish. Moving on to more digestible content, we rounded up five football brands that have all but been forgotten before taking a look back on the five best moments of the tournament so far.

Today, my Wise Big Sister offers another bit of wisdom. This is the Wise Big Sister who wrote me letters in college with Bible verses in them (when I was very far from God). This is the Wise Big Sister who prayed for me through every break-up, every bad haircut, and every rejection. When I didn't get invited from the sorority sisters to pledge their sorority as a freshman, she sent me flowers with a card that said, "From Your Real Big Sister."
My Wise Big Sister continues to mentor me:
In March, she instructed me to do the thing I don't want to do.
In June, she reminded me that when you're having a bad day, there's always the hope of flair.
In July, she taught me that to get a great thing, you have to lose a great thing.
In August, she sent me a message in a bottle to remind me of wonder.
In October, she encouraged me to go to the gym.
In November, she challenged me to be my own competition.
Later that November, she explained that one can be spiritual and stylish at the same time.
So I text her that I feel burnt-out. She simply says, "Train hard. Rest harder." She calls to explain my situation using a running analogy. She repeats: "Every good runner trains hard but rests harder." She explains that when you're resting, you really have to rest. "No running. You can cross-train, but you can't run."
She diagnoses my burnout as a metaphorical stress fracture. "You ran when you should have been cross-training. You didn't rest completely." Cross-training means you engage in completely different and even opposite activities. Runners will swim instead, for example, when they rest but still keep active. In my life this means solitude instead of company; a movie instead of writing; a walk in nature instead of being plugged into technology; or being taught by a mentor instead of being the teacher.
Different and opposite activities.
We have to train hard and rest harder.
Journal: What would it look like to "rest hard?" What opposite and different activities will we do to rest completely?

A gutsy Boreham Wood display was not enough to prevent runaway league leaders Woking from maintaining their 11-point cushion at the top of the table following a 2-1 win at Meadow Park.
In truth, Woking were by far the more dangerous outfit going forward, yet Wood were never out of the game, giving Gary Hill's men a stern test on the afternoon.
With Daryl McMahon's midweek departure to Eastleigh, there was a berth for young Charlie Hunter to fill in the centre of the park and the 18 year old enjoyed possibly his best performance for the senior side to date.
There was no place in the starting line-up for Luke Wilkinson, who may have played his last game for Ian Allinson, with his loan spell now over. His replacement on the day, Omar Beckles, did not disappoint alongside the ever-reliable Charlie O'Loughlin in the centre of defence.
Mario Noto created the first test for either goalkeeper as The Cards gave away numerous free-kicks in danger areas. His curling effort on the left from 20 yards out was destined for the top right-hand corner, tipped magnificently over the bar by Aaron Howe after 12 minutes.
The resultant corner, played short by Hunter, allowed the free Noto a first-time effort which went just wide.
Billy Lobjoit who was a real threat on occasions for Wood and shot just wide before the visitors threatened, with Elvis Hammond finding space to turn and shoot only for the resolute Wood defence to block.
There was a call for a penalty when David Bryant went over Alan Inns' leg, but referee Mr Coggins waved play on.
Mike Cestor, the second ex-Wood player on show, then almost got lucky with an overhit cross from the left which had the beating of Michael Jordan before hitting the underside of the bar.
A moment of hesitancy by Jordan led to The Cards opener after 23 minutes, allowing Hammond to take a touch around the keeper before stroking home into an empty net.
Wood however, never gave the league leaders a chance to build upon their lead and an even contest ensued.
Cestor ran past four Wood players, finding Hammond, who scuffed his shot. Beckles then made a superb challenge to deny the goal scorer further plaudits.
Woking came out after the interval in commanding form and mounted a period of extreme pressure on the Wood defence.
Moses Ademola should have done better, hitting a loose ball out of the ground, before Jordan's spill fell kindly for Wayne Gray, who again frustrated the large visiting support with another errant shot.
The antidote to the pressure was delivered when Wood stunned The Cards with a quite brilliant equaliser after 55 minutes.
Hunter picked up play, playing a short ball for Bryant. His threaded pass down the right was perfect for Lobjoit, who showed pace in bursting past a defender before delivering a superb cross along the touch line at pace. It was perfect for Noto, who arrived at the far post to fire home.
Keiran Murtagh tried his luck from distance for the visitors before the referee made a poor decision after Noto's brilliant tackle was handled by the falling Woking player. The free-kick went to the visitors which Murtagh delivered into danger, finding Joe McNerney, whose shot cannoned back across the goalmouth via a post.
O'Loughlin then caused concern in The Cards defence, with his looping header just cleared behind by Jack King.
However, the sucker punch came after 83 minutes when substitute Luke Medley got in behind the defence on the left, cutting a fine ball across goal, which Ademola reacted to quickest, firing home beyond the reach of Jordan, leaving the visitors to see out proceedings to claim the narrow victory.
"[It was] disappointing that we switched off in key areas which as we know against the big sides like Woking, and previously Cambridge United, you cannot afford to do," said Wood boss Allinson.
"I cannot fault any of the side today. They all put in a shift, yet if our delivery from set pieces had been a little better and we had maintained concentration throughout, it may have been a different outcome.
"We have had a very tough run of games of late, including this one, where it was obvious to see why Woking are top of the table."
Turning to the players, Allinson said he was "very pleased to have secured the services of Sam Cox until the end of the season.
"Luke Wilkinson is keen to play at a higher level and with his current loan spell now over, I stayed loyal to Charlie O'Loughlin and Omar Beckles, who along with Luke Garrard did a fine job in central defence.
"I would love to strengthen this week as the transfer window comes to a close but there is no need for a knee jerk reaction. We must ensure that whoever comes in is of a high standard to better ourselves as a unit."
Boreham Wood: Jordan, Sankofa, Jones, Garrard, O'Loughlin, Beckles, Hunter (Lechmere 75), Cox, Bryant, Noto, Lobjoit. Not used: Hutton, Wilkinson, Brathwaite and Akinola.

Wood. Since the dawn of time, mankind has never had a use for it. Until now. Thanks to one upstate New York Etsian, wood has finally found a purpose–to charge our Apple products.
Why use a chord like some cyborg, completely divorced from nature? Now you can dock the whole Apple family of portable i-products (except the Shuffle) into an actual cedar log. The USB-linked hunk o' wood can be synced up to a computer or plugged directly into a wall to be recharged.
This great juxtaposition of nature and portable media is available for $138.
It's what Lincoln would have used to charge his iPhone.

What's the perfect remedy for a team that scuffled their way to a 1-6 homestand? Get back out on the road where they have won seven straight games.
Milwaukee snapped their five game losing streak on Friday night with a 9-0 win over the Braves in Atlanta. It was the eighth straight road victory for the Crew. Jeff Suppan picked up the win to make his record 6-7 on the year. Suppan pitched seven shutout innings against Atlanta and allowed only five hits while walking three.
The offense erupted early and often to give Suppan plenty of run support. The Crew scored two in the first, one in the second and three in the third. Atlanta's starter, Chuck James, never made it out of the third inning. The Brewers added three more runs in the eighth for the final tally of 9-0.
Rickie Weeks led the team with two hits while Prince Fielder and Mike Cameron each went deep. Bill Hall and Jason Kendall each scored two runs. It was a good overall performance coming off of a pitiful series against the Cubs.
Look, I'm not going to blow this win out of proportion. I'm glad to see the offense finally decided to swing the bats like they are capable of. Jeff Suppan also had a nice outing and worked through some trouble early. Suppan has always been a second half pitcher and hopefully this is the start of his turnaround. The Cubs lost on Friday to the Pirates so the Brewers are now only four back. This thing can turn right back around in the Brewers' favor very quickly.
CC Sabathia takes the mound for the Crew on Saturday afternoon and will look to bounce back from his poor outing against the Cubs on Monday.

A. E. Schlueter Pipe Organ
Company, Lithonia, Georgia
Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church, Atlanta, Georgia
The O'Neil-Foster Memorial Pipe Organ
Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church is located in my hometown of Atlanta, Georgia, just a short drive from my office. Our involvement in the project began with an invitation to consult with this church from director of liturgy and music William Jefferson (Jeff) Bush. The church was planning a new sanctuary and wanted to study the possibility of building a pipe organ for this space.
During my first visit I had the opportunity to meet many of the church leadership, including Rev. James A. Schillinger, S.T.L., pastor; Michael D. Mullink, associate director of music; and Paul Tooher, director of business. The organ committee at this church included Jeff Bush as committee chair, Michael Mullink, Phil Jardina, Leann Logsdon, and Mark Galvin. Dr. John Romeri was invited by Jeff to serve as an informal consultant to him personally on this project.
As this distinguished group talked about plans for the new sanctuary, there was an excitement and zeal for their mission, which personally enveloped me. Beyond a simple cerebral response, I found a lasting emotional attachment to this church and its membership. I left this church posed with the question, "How could the members of the Schlueter family and our staff not be a part of this grand commission?"
To design the new sanctuary, the church engaged the services of the architectural firm CDH Partners with project architect Michael Boland. This firm's work was interlaced with that of the liturgical consultant Brother Martin Erspamer, OSB. His contribution to this project was invaluable. Over a period that spanned years, he provided a distinct vision for the finished church building and its furnishings. He also worked as an able arbiter to diligently channel and focus the ideas, concerns, and aspirations of all the design parties and committees.
The organ, later to be named the O'Neil-Foster Memorial Pipe Organ, was made possible through the generous donations of Walter & Mary Alice Foster and Jim & Pat Sedlack.
When I was brought into the project, the basic layout of the sanctuary had already been formed and we lacked a space that allowed consideration for an organ chamber location. The only possibility was to incorporate a free-standing organ case design. The challenge was to find sufficient space that would work physically and tonally for the organ. As we studied the building plans to find a location, the sole workable area was on the central axis of the church, just behind the altar. The members of the church were willing to consider this space, but we all knew that the path to a final design would be an arduous choice, given the prominent chancel location. We considered over a dozen different organ case iterations, before settling on a final rendering.
To minimize the visual impact of the organ case, we held the center of the organ case to 10 feet of width on its forward exposure. The largest pipes of the 16′ Principal are positioned to the sides of the case and arrayed in an inverted ellipse that arcs away from the case center, which de-emphasizes the overall case width and accentuates its verticality. This greatly reduced the visual weight of the organ case.
What has pleased us most with the completed design is that it "feels right." The casement is built of red oak with ebonized walnut accents. Taking the form of a reredos, it provides a visual backdrop that anchors the cross and the corpus. When viewed from an off-center location, the largest pipes vertically ascend toward the center to provide a central focus on Christ.
Taking advantage of the organ's position in the church, we used the mass of the instrument casework to separate the main sanctuary from the chapel behind it. The rear of the organ case was built as a paneled oak wall with ebony dividers. The center panels form an arch to mirror and highlight the baldacchino. The stained glass in the cupola that forms the rear chapel wall provides a coalesced mixture of light and shadow, which plays off the organ's oak panels to make this area a quiet, contemplative space for prayer. Here one senses the cloistered feeling of a space that is at once part of, and separate from, the main sanctuary. The emotional response experienced in the chapel leaves no doubt that this is Holy Space.
As the outer shell of the casework was brought to a point of design conclusion, we began to develop a stoplist that would be capable of the varied uses required of this instrument. From the beginning, the charge we were given was to design an instrument that would support worship, with a specificity of a literature bias to be a secondary concern. From shared listening experiences with the church, we developed an eclectic specification with roots in American Classicism. To support the choir and congregation, all divisions of the organ were planned to be weighted around an 8′ chorus structure with multiple weights of this tonic pitch register.
As we labored on the final stoplist, there were budgetary considerations that could not be ignored. With the free-standing case, console, and three-manual specification, this would not be an inexpensive organ to build. We faced a crossroad where the design for an instrument included most but not all of the elements we wanted in a stoplist, but a budget that had already been reached. To free ourselves from this stricture we looked inward. Those who have followed our work know it has not been uncommon for our firm to gift some additional items to our clients. We have always looked at this as our tithe to the communities of faith where we build organs. In the end, the 8′ Viole Dolce, 8′ Viole Dolce Celeste, 4⁄5′ Terz, and the 16′/8′ Trombone unit became gifts from the Schlueter family. As artists, it can be liberating to add stops into the organ on the basis of "it should be there" without sole regard to budget. Hearing the organ in the church we know that we made the right decision by our gifts.
The Great division of this instrument was built with a Principal chorus of 8′, 4′, 2′, and IV-rank Mixture that is grounded with a 16′ Bourdon. Due to a room acoustic that promotes the propagation of bass frequencies, the pipe scales of the 16′ and 8′ registers were pulled in, and made slightly smaller to support clarity of speech and phrasing. We chose to use a large-scale metal open 8′ Hohl Flute because of its ability to be used as a blending and thickening agent to the Great chorus. When used as an independent solo voice it has a clarity and focus that are often lost in large-scale open flutes of different construction. It is paired with a lyrical 4′ Rohr Flute that is a playful muse in this acoustic. The 8′ Trumpet on the Great has English shallots and is thinner in scale and texture than its compatriot in the Swell division. As a chorus reed with a subtle edge-tone, it provides a blaze of color under the Great chorus. The Swell Basson-Hautbois and Positiv Krummhorn are duplexed to this division to allow differing weight and color possibilities to the ensemble or allow their use as solo voices.
While everyone recognizes the utilitarian function of the Swell division as a foil to the Great for congregational accompaniment, we realized early on the importance of careful stop choice for the single enclosed division on this instrument. It would need to have a wide dynamic range and timbre to be effective in undergirding the choir and soloist. The Swell division was designed with a rich palette, replete with various weights of color and texture.
With the choir on the side apse, there was a concern about the organ being heard evenly. The expression box opens on three sides to provide an evenly diffused cone of sound in the church and also to provide tonal focus for support of the choir.
The third manual on this instrument is an unenclosed Positiv division. With its rearward position in the upper portion of the chapel cupola, we were able to take advantage of the tangential incidence of the wall surfaces. This reflects and refracts the Positiv division to a position of forward presence in the organ.
The Erzahlers proved to be the perfect string stops in this unenclosed division. With their position at the capstone in this space, the sound filters throughout the church in an even, gentle manner. These stops, when drawn and coupled with the Viole de Gambe, Viole Dolce, and their companion Celestes, mass in a bloom of sound that buoys the spirit and lifts the soul.
An unusual stop in this Positiv is the 4⁄5′ Terz. Constructed as small principal pipes, it breaks back one octave at G3. It can be effective as a coloring agent to 8′ and 4′ stops in the organ, added to the 11⁄3′ to build a bell-like Glockenspiel mixture, or used with the 16′ and unison couplers to build a secondary Cornet. With its middle compass octave shift, the 4⁄5′ has enough tonal weight to combine with the mixture to supply a French accent to larger registrations.
To provide sufficient undergirding for this instrument, we started with a case design that allowed an exposed 16′ Principal in the Pedal. With its forward position in the case, this stop is voiced in an unforced manner that provided the fundamental we desired allied with harmonic definition. The 16′ Bourdon and balance of the Pedal resources are positioned at the upper rear of the organ case to take advantage of the acoustical reflection of the cupola in the same manner as the resources of the Positiv division. With this spatial treatment, these stops project forward to tonally sit beside the 16′ Principal. Softer underlayment of the Pedal foundation is provided by the 16′/8′
Lieblich Gedeckt in the Swell division.
The 16′ Trombone and 16′ Basson-Hautbois provide the reed foundation for this instrument. The 16′ Trombone in the Pedal division is available as a manual extension to provide a dynamic solo reed. This stop is eight inches in scale at CCC and is on a moderately high wind pressure. It provides a rich, vibrant voice in the favorable acoustics of the room and can work equally well as a solo voice or logical conclusion to the ensemble in large registrations.
Mechanically, this organ follows our normal practice with its use of electro-pneumatic slider windchests of the Blackinton style, electro-pneumatic unit action for reeds and large flue stops, and a winding system with dual curtain valve reservoirs. The resources of the organ are controlled by a three-manual drawknob console that is built of red oak and includes ebonized accents commensurate with the organ case. The console features such modern conveniences as multiple memory levels, programmable crescendo and sforzando, transposer, piston sequencer, MIDI, and the ability to record and play back organ performances.
With any organ project it is possible to be so close to your own work that you cannot judge it on its own merits. It becomes important to step back from your work before you can say it is time to "put down the brush." This is particularly true of tonal finishing. The surety of vision and purpose that guides one's work can also result in blinders preventing your best work from coming forward. To mitigate this, our firm completes tonal finishing over a period of time. Not only does it allow the ears to relax, but it also allows you to come back to a project more objective and able to assess your work dispassionately. The tonal finishing occurred throughout the first year, with multiple visits to the church as we traveled through the liturgical year and made different demands of the organ's resources.
I want to extend a sincere "thank you" to our team of tonal finishers on this project, which included Dan Angerstein, Anthony Nichols, John Tanner, Bud Taylor, Dave Koscis, and Fred Oyster. I also want to thank the dedicated members of my staff, led by Marc Conley, who selflessly provided their hands and hearts to the building and installation of this instrument. The construction of an instrument of this scale is a monumental task with thousands of man hours that are visible and many thousands more that are unseen. The aforementioned are the people who helped sculpt the wood, zinc, lead, copper, and brass into poetry.
In the end, as a principal of the firm whose name is on the organ, what do I think about the organ we built? Early on I knew how special this project could be. As a builder I have been privileged to attend many concerts at this church and to attend Mass on multiple occasions. I must confess that as much as I have enjoyed the organ in recital, I have taken far great pleasure hearing the organ in a worship setting. This is not said to diminish the music brought forth by those who have played the organ in concert; rather, hearing the organ taking its part in worship is a validation of the years of planning and work that go into such an instrument. Having been part of building an instrument that serves in worship every day is the greatest gift an organ builder can have. It is a culmination of pride, passion, and a legacy that we are leaving to future generations.
We are very pleased to offer selections from recordings made on this organ by Herbert Buffington, available at pipe-organ.com/listen.shtm.

Very nice blanket more than expected
I'm very happy with the quality of this blanket. My mare is toasty warm. It was delivered on December 24th, 5 days earlier than expected! My mare measures 78. I had read this blanket ran a little big so I ordered a 75. It's fits perfectly. I would recommend this blanket to all of my friends.
The product itself is way above my expectations. This product is well made. I love the cut in the shoulders and the extra long belly wrap. However, one thing to consider when ordering . My mare is a true to size 81" but this blanket is a little big and I should have ordered her a 78" maybe even a 76".
This is a perfect stable blanket. It is well made and it has a great thickness that is perfect for those cold winter nights. Honestly, because of its construction, it is a great turnout blanket as well for days that are a little colder but not too cold. My horse and I live in Canada, so generally he spends the days outside (using this blanket as a liner and another, even thicker blanket on top) and at night he comes inside and just wears this one to sleep in. I will say that it is fairly warm, so on the nights when it is above freezing we have had to take the blanket off and opt for a thinner, stable sheet. However, if your horse doesn't live in a heated barn, then this is perfect. My horse is a 16.3hh thoroughbred and this fits him true to size (78). The belly warmer is amazing, especially since we clipped him pretty close. There are d-rings to attach a hood as well. In general I definitely recommend this product and I could not find another for the same price. Pros -Price -Fit -Attractive -Belly warmer -d-rings (for hood attachment) Cons -A little too warm for above freezing nights
Love it just need another one! Looks great on!
Wow what a blanket! Super blanket, can't beat the price. Blanket arrived quickly
What a great blanket. Super Quality and super warm. Nice comfortable fit. And the price! Can you believe it? What a bargin! My horse is a 76" "ish" depending on the blanket so I got the 78", laundered it in warm water and dried it well before using it so it did whatever shrinking it would do and perfect! I love it, my Zippo Bar Robin aka "Blondie" loves it too! With the closed front and NO buckles this blanket is easy on the washer and dryer, no clangity clang! Buy it, you'll ve it and I bet my horse has it for her lifetime! Ride safe!
Great blanket, fits perfect, heavy duty materials. Very happy with the purchase.
Great blanket. I bought only one blanket first to make sure of the quality and size for my mare. It fit her great and the blanket is well made. I then bought another one for my filly. I would recommend this blanket to anyone.
Holding up great
We thought it was a velcro belly wrap blanket..other than that it's a good one
nice heavy blanket.
This blanket was an OUTSTANDING VALUE!! The fit was very good and THE QUALITY WAS WORTH THREE TIMES what we paid!! It takes just a little more effort to put on than an open-front blanket but that effort cannot compare to the !SAVINGS this blanket provided!!
Have not used the blanket as yet but it fits nicely.
ran very small, too short on horse but fit enough to keep him warm.otherwise nice blanket.
excellent blankets, i have told everybody that was looking for blankets were to order from, keep up the good work on your product and i love the sells
had a problem with the first one on the belly band wrap. the piece where you slid strap through was sewn on wrong but the blanket was nice.I returned it,I got the second one and I do like it.
Tears in belly area.
got them on sale and they are very nice and fit my friesian horses, kinda wish winter rain comes here in southern california!
Haven't needed to use it yet.
I love this blanket! The price was fantastic too! Thank-You!
These blankets are great for our horses because we our horses are pasture horses, and the closed front holds up much better than the open front blankets. Closed front, waterproof, insulated blankets at a reasonable price are hard to find. We have 60 to 70 horses at all times, so we have to shop for bargains. Buying in bulk helps to lower our cost. All of the horses are our, i.e. we don't board horses for other people, so we're very cost conscious.
have not used yet but looks nice
