Ameloblastoma in Cats
Ameloblastoma, previously known as adamantinoma, is a rare neoplasm that affects the tooth structures of cats. In most cases it is found to be benign in nature, but a malignant, more highly invasive form is also reported to occur as well. It may affect any tooth structure within the tooth arcade. Ameloblastoma is an extremely rare neoplasm in cats. However, as with many cancers, mostly older cats are affected.
Symptoms and Types
Ameloblastoma is usually benign in nature and remains well localized. You may notice a firm and smooth mass covering in the gingival space. The presence of a mass is usually enough to convince an owner to visit the veterinarian.
The exact cause is still unknown. It is categorized as idiopathic.
You will need to give a thorough history of your cat's health and onset of symptoms. Your veterinarian will perform a thorough physical examination on your cat, with a detailed examination of the oral cavity, including the tumor mass. A complete blood profile will also be conducted, including a chemical blood profile, a complete blood count, and a urinalysis. In most cases the laboratory test results are within normal ranges and no abnormality related to this neoplasm is noticed. X-ray images of the skull will be helpful in estimating the penetration of the neoplasm within the bone structures. A computed tomography (CT) scan will give more refined results and will help in initiating the treatment plan for your cat. Often a deep tissue biopsy will be conducted so that a sample of deeply penetrated neoplasm tissue can be examined. In this way your veterinarian can determine if the neoplasm is benign or malignant in nature.

I could not afford to fly home for Christmas on my meagre salary and begrudgingly accepted my festive destiny: being alone. Well, technically, I was not alone, if I was to include the critters quietly doing their private research and development in my cupboards. To cheer myself, in an attempt to embrace "the experience", I prepared to savour the chosen two or three scrumptious extravagances to enjoy over the next few days – shrimp and oysters (Mom's old family traditions) and some cream cheese plus a bagel or two (my Montreal friends' influence). And of course, a bottle of crisp, and perfectly chilled, white wine. However, as I settled in for the evening with my mass of candles, it did not matter what I chose from this comedy of buffets — from plump, pink shrimp to a smoky-flavoured oyster, I could not get the taste of metal from my mouth. I would swish, take a bite … swish, brush my teeth. And increasingly and more unsettlingly, I became jittery, fidgety.
I checked in via telephone with most of the usual suspects. Christmas Eve and everyone was pretty much snuggled in after completing a similar routine to mine, in varying geographical clusters of family, friends and colleagues – snacking, yakking and sipping.
I tried another round of the crisp, white decadence in hopes of distraction, to no avail – metal, metal, metal. After a day more of this irritation, scattered energy and "dis-tastefulness", I received a phone call.
"There's been an accident. Marie and John were in an accident." My immediate response was, "How is John?" For some reason, I thought it would have been he who was hurt. I have no idea why I automatically assumed that. And when Isaac told me that John was okay, I assumed incorrectly once again that she was okay too. The brain in combination with the deficiencies of the communication process does not fare well in such circumstances.
"No, it was not John, my dear, it was Marie." I just could not fathom what was being said. She was killed in the car accident? On Christmas Day? Instantly, I realized why I tasted metal, metal, metal. Foreshadowing. I also experienced instantaneous denial, screeching, "We must go back to the highway! We must double-check!! We must, we must, we must!!"
Isaac kept reassuring me that they did go back. All had been checked, double-checked, signed and confirmed. There was no mistake. We are to begin grieving. Now. Today. This afternoon. He informed me that he was coming over immediately. If there were any more words said that day, I don't remember what they were.
When John returned to Toronto, where he, Marie and I all lived, I called him and asked if I could come over. "Yes, please," was his response. I staggered into his kitchen with a bevy of food and favourite beverages. I warmly hugged whoever was milling around on the main floor. They motioned to the stairs. "He's up there." When I reached the top of the stairs, John stood up and we grabbed each other and just stood there — the scent of her swirling around the room. Tears streamed and we just held each other, as awkward as it was for me, being five feet tall on a good day, and John at least six feet two. All other personal responsibilities and/or world-wide tragedies occurring at that moment were irrelevant at that time. We succumbed to our grief and simply wept.
As soon as we entered the church on the day of the service, we were handed a "program". It had her picture on it. I walked into the church and walked right back out again. Seeing her picture like that made it all real. "Marie A." It was all there in black and white. There was no mistake. They really did go back and check.
In her death, I remembered her as larger than life. There are very, very few people walking the face of our planet like her. She was extraordinarily playful and had a laugh that boomed like the most entertaining and infectious cannon imaginable. Anyone and everyone who knew her commented on her unique and vo-luminous laugh.
As we gathered at John's house after the service — through the tears and trauma – we all tried to remember her in her awe; and celebrate her. John gently reminded us how amazing she was; he asked us to keep that in the forefront of our minds. I was inspired through my grief at this man continually celebrated her while he processed the magnitude of his loss. His wife, his friend, his true love.
A day or so later, John called and asked if I would "go through her things." He had also invited her sister and her other closest friend. I was simultaneously honoured and terrified. Of course I would go, I reassured him. Of course. These were a few of the most intimate days I have spent with three other people. We would collectively and achingly laugh as each of us took turns holding up the radical and untimely, and most unfashionable pieces of clothing that she so cherished. "Why, why, why did she think she looked so cool?" THAT was Marie. She did not care. Not even an itsy bit. She was ever an individual if there was even just one on this planet. We sobbed as we voted on who is most worthy of each piece of clothing, painstakingly, selected her precious spices, teas and natural concoctions. She was a healer, an aroma therapist, vegetarian and philanthropist. She was a most unusual collector – and we were each awarded a valise of her precious treasures. I promptly drove home and put this "Marie Anthology" beside my bed. I did not touch it for weeks.
I went to see a grief counsellor the next day. He wanted to experiment with this technique of "touch therapy" where I would be sitting in a chair and he would touch my toe, for example and I would tell him how I felt or what I was experiencing. I said I was up for it, anything to help me move through this process. He started with my foot and by the time he got to my knee, I began to have that taste in my mouth again. Metal, metal, metal. And this time, mixed with dirt. I felt the twirling … the graceful ascension through the air. It all happened in an instant, but it felt like it lasted forever. Metal and dirt and air. And then, no air. I felt it all. Then, the counsellor asked me to lie down in the next room and say aloud what I had experienced. I could feel her hovering right above me. It was a distinct fluttering. I felt so much love. I shouted and cried out all my words of grief, love, anger, devastation … all through the peculiarity of the physical-ness of the dirt, et al. And then, at long last, I felt some relief.
There were many days of The Gang gathering, cooking, curling up together and sharing suppers on TV tables. There were uncountable tears; silent and highly vocal at times. Gradually, we began to pull back a little, each taking some space and personal breathing room. Once we felt like we all could stand without wobbly legs, we began to get up and get on with life. Although it was agonizing, we respected "the process" and I am grateful that we supported, validated and treated each other with such loving-kindness. It was a privilege to have a collection of such honourable friends around me at that time – especially my exceptional friend, Marie.

Think you know your rights to leave? Think again. Many Americans take advantage of protections under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) each year, but many more have serious misconceptions about what the law is and how it works. When you are facing a serious medical condition and require time off of work to tend to your personal and family needs, contact an experienced employment attorney from Five Points Law Group. We can help you make sense of your situation and protect your rights if your employer is trying to violate them.
All Employees Have a Right to Leave
False. Not all employees or employers qualify. As a basic proposition, only certain people will qualify for FMLA leave. To be bound by FMLA, employees must have:
As you can tell, many employers are not covered by the law.
I Can Use My Sick Leave After I Finish Leave
False. Actually, an employer may make use all of your paid leave, such as vacation and sick time, before you can invoke your right to FMLA OR require you to use such paid leave concurrently with your FMLA leave. The employer can require you to use up all the paid leave.
I am Entitled to 12 Weeks Leave Per Year
False. This is not how it works either. It is 12 weeks in a 12-month period. So, if you took leave from September 1, 2017 through December 1, 2017, you would likely be ineligible to take leave again until after December 1, 2018. It is not based on calendar year; it is based on a 12-month period.
FMLA is Paid if I Have Accrued Enough Paid Time Off
False. The two have nothing to do with each other. Your accrued paid time off, whether sick leave, personal leave, or vacation time, is something you have earned through your employer. FMLA is unpaid leave that acts as a safety net to protect your job. Your employer will likely require you to use up all your paid time first. If you no longer require time off, then there is no reason to take FMLA.
I Do Not Have to Give My Employer Anything Except a Doctor's Note
False. In most cases, you must have a legitimate reason, and your employer has a right to verify it. Here are the basic reasons you may qualify for FMLA:
Service Members and Their Families Have Extended Rights
True! Actually, this one is correct. Employees who otherwise qualify can get up to 26 weeks of leave in a single 12-month period to care for a covered family member (parent, son, daughter, next of kin, spouse) who is seriously injured or sick and is a military service member. This is known as military caregiver leave.
Talk to a Birmingham Employment Rights Attorney
When you are facing the loss of income or employment, you may have a lot of questions and be worried about how you will pay the bills. Do not continue to worry alone in silence. Call an experienced team of compassionate attorneys who can give you straight answers. You may even be entitled to financial relief in the form of compensation if you have been wrongfully terminated.

Posts for tag: x-rays
X-rays are such a routine part of dental care that it's easy to overlook how much this technology has revolutionized detecting and treating tooth decay. It's safe to say x-rays have helped save hundreds of millions of teeth over the last hundred years.
Thanks to its unique properties these invisible electro-magnetic waves give us precise images of the interior structure of teeth and gums. It's so precise that we can clearly detect even a small spot of softened, decayed tooth structure on an exposed x-ray film, often before it becomes visible to the naked eye. As a result, we can begin treating the decay earlier, minimizing the damage and increasing the chances for preserving the tooth.
There are a variety of ways we can utilize x-ray technology in diagnosing dental problems. The one, though, that's used the most is called the bitewing. The name comes from wing-like tabs extending out from a thin frame holding a segment of unexposed film. A technician places the frame inside the patient's mouth with the film on the tongue side of the teeth, and has them bite down on the tabs to hold the frame still. They then aim a camera at the patient's outer cheek, which then emits a very short burst of x-ray energy to expose the film.
Bitewings are popular because they give a full view of the back and side teeth, where decay is often hard to detect, with very little radiation exposure to the patient. And as x-ray technology has progressed over the years with digital processing and more efficient equipment, we can acquire sharper images with even less exposure. We've also developed standard protocols for when and how often we perform x-rays, so that we're getting the most diagnostic benefit for the least amount of exposure time.
Those few minutes getting an x-ray may seem routine, but the benefits to your dental health are truly amazing. The bitewing and other forms of x-rays play a huge role in helping us keep your teeth as healthy as they possibly can.
If you would like more information on x-ray diagnostics, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation. You can also learn more about this topic by reading the Dear Doctor magazine article "Bitewing X-Rays."
One of the most widely used forms of dental imaging is the bitewing x-ray. So called because of the shape of the device that holds the exposable film a patient clenches between their back teeth, the bitewing x-ray is an effective means for detecting the earliest stages of tooth decay.
These early signs are small lesions on a tooth surface caused by mineral loss in the enamel. While we can identify them on front teeth through visual examination or bright lighting, they're nearly impossible to see on the biting surfaces of back teeth. The bitewing x-ray solves this problem.
During the procedure, a narrow beam of x-rays is directed at the back teeth area. Since X-rays can transmit through solid matter, they pass through the teeth and gums to expose the film attached to the bitewing assembly.
X-rays pass through matter at different rates depending on the density of the tissue — a slower rate for harder tissues like teeth and bone and a faster rate for soft tissues like the gums. As a result, x-rays through teeth expose less of the film and appear as a lighter image than the gums. This difference is so precise even a tooth's softer dentin appears slighter darker than its harder outer enamel.
This precision helps us identify decay lesions. Because the lesions on the enamel are less dense than the normal enamel, they'll appear as dark spots. By detecting them at this stage we have a better chance for reversing the effects of decay or at least minimizing damage that's already occurred.
Because x-rays emit radiation, there's a natural concern about over-exposure and we go to great lengths to reduce it. Children may undergo a bitewing x-ray twice a year for developing teeth, while adults with healthy teeth are typically x-rayed just once a year. Advances in digital film and other technology have also helped lower the exposure rate.
Today's standard 4-film bitewing x-ray produces about four days worth of what we receive on average from normal background radiation, so the health risk is quite negligible. The benefit, on the other hand, is much greater — the early detection of tooth decay could ultimately save a tooth.
If you would like more information on the use of bitewing x-rays in dental care, please contact us or schedule an appointment for a consultation.

You may be considering adopting a hypoallergenic dog breed because you have allergies. For those who have allergies, hypoallergenic dog breeds are ideal. However, being smaller in size but with difficult temperaments can be a challenge.
These tips on how to care for hypoallergenic dogs will help you get your furry friend comfortable in your home. First, give him a tour of the home so that he gets a good idea of his new surroundings.
While he is investigating the area, and sure any other pets are placed in another room. It's very likely that your new dog may be frightened in the beginning. At first, he may not want to interact with humans, so avoid handling him too much, at least for the first few days.
Start Grooming Hypoallergenic Dogs
When you see noticeable signs that he is becoming more comfortable, try to develop a routine for you and your family alongside your new dog. This means incorporating a feeding and hair brushing schedule into the routine.
Brushing your dog daily reduces allergens in the air, and this is especially important for anyone with allergies. The dander, although minimal on hypoallergenic dog breeds, will be further reduced, making it more comfortable for you.
Invest in a quality steel comb that has wide teeth. Such a comb this will remove knots and tangles without much pain. A hairless breed, although it does not require much in the form of combing or brushing may have issues with dry skin.
Take care to ensure his skin is healthy. If your hairless breed has noticeable flaking, your vet will be able to suggest a lotion or may prescribe quality medication to remedy the situation.
How to Care for Hypoallergenic Dogs
A hypoallergenic dog breed also requires exercise, like most dogs. A good amount of exercise can also help control the allergens within the home. Therefore, ensure it gets a good walk each day, as well as a good night's rest.
If a dog wakes up at night on a frequent basis, he may want your attention, and that will affect your well-being. Be careful not to let him crawl into bed with you. People with allergies should avoid dogs sleeping on their bed.
In fact, have a designated area for him to sleep comfortably. Either give him an old blanket or buy a soft bed for him. This will keep him comfy and safe during sleep time. Whatever bed you choose for him, ensure it is washable.
It is important to frequently wash a pet bed to avoid allergens from transferring onto clothing or carpeting, which could activate your allergies. Staying clean by frequently vacuuming and mopping can reduce allergens from getting into furniture and clothing.
Why Professional Grooming?
A hypoallergenic dog still requires grooming. Professional grooming every few months will ensure its coat stays in tiptop shape, and since it continuously grows, it will keep it at a length that is best for all.
For instance, the dog's eyes may end up covered by the hair growth, and that can make it difficult for the dog to stay safe or clean for that matter. A good grooming can take care of that.
Even though you do all these things and you have adopted or purchased a hypoallergenic dog breed, it doesn't mean that you will never have another allergy attack. If you follow the advice above and learn how to care for hypoallergenic dogs, you can minimize the frequency of allergy attacks. There is no guarantee that you'll prevent them from ever happening, unfortunately.

NORFOLK — In six seasons in Conference USA, Old Dominion's Florida road swings have been known for their small crowds and pliant opposition.
ODU is 5-0 combined at Florida Atlantic and Florida International, programs that have generally resided in the bottom half of the standings.
With new coaches in place, however, the Florida schools have been re-energized, and although the crowds Thursday at FAU and Saturday at FIU still will be small, the home teams look to be improved.
"These two teams are definitely dangerous, more dangerous than they have been in the past," senior B.J. Stith said. "We're not going to overlook them."
Coming off a 1-1 homestand, ODU (11-4, 1-1 C-USA) is in no position to overlook anyone. As coach Jeff Jones said, the Monarchs have shown they're capable of beating or losing to anyone on their schedule.
Sometimes, seemingly, in the same game. ODU demonstrated that Saturday by falling down to Western Kentucky 21-0 before rallying for a wild, 69-66 win over the C-USA preseason favorite.
If there's anything the Monarchs would like to bottle from that performance, it's the play of reserves Jason Wade, Justice Kithcart, Kalu Ezikpe and Dajour Dickens, who sparked the historic comeback with energy on both ends of the court.
"Every one of those guys I thought really stepped up and played as well as they have all year," Jones said.
Added Stith: "They're the reasons we won the game."
Wade had four points and three steals, Kithcart seven points and the go-ahead 3-pointer, Ezikpe four points, eight rebounds and two blocks, and Dickens nine points and two blocks.
Each also provided contributions that didn't show up in the box score. Wade and Kithcart brought an attacking mindset. Ezikpe battled WKU center Charles Bassey in the low post, and Dickens — a Bethel High product — was also aggressive.
Could it be the start of something? Kithcart believes so.
"This definitely gives us a lot of confidence," he said. "We're young guys, pretty much. I'm a sophomore, Dajour came in from Providence — he didn't get to play last year. Kalu and Jason are freshmen.
"It's a great confidence boost. It's just going to help us get better this year."
Particularly with guard Marquis Godwin of Hampton, who had provided an offensive spark off the bench, out with a broken foot.
The need for that spark Saturday would not have been as urgent had ODU not gotten off to such a slow start. Getting out of the gate faster will be important the next two games, in environments where the Monarchs will have to create their own energy.
FAU is 13th in the league in attendance, averaging 1,017 fans per game. FIU is 14th, averaging 606.
At both schools, fan support is lagging behind the improvement on the court. FAU, 12-19 last year, is 10-5 overall and 1-1 in C-USA under new coach Dusty May, with wins over Central Florida and Illinois.
Season-ending injuries to leading scorer and rebounder Jailyn Ingram (18.9 points per game, 9.2 rebounds per game) and talented freshman Jaylen Sebree (9.4 ppg) have dimmed FAU's prospects, but the Owls have an aggressive approach and one of the league's top guards in senior Anthony Adger.
"He's got the ultimate green light," Jones said. "I can't imagine anyone in the country that has a greener light than he does.
"He's always in attack mode."
FIU, meanwhile, plays at the nation's fastest tempo under new coach Jeremy Ballard, a former VCU assistant.
After going 14-18 last year, the Panthers are 10-5, 1-1 in league play. Led by senior guard Brian Beard, FIU leads the league in turnover margin and steals.
"It's a big road trip," Jones said.

I make no apologies for featuring another of my daughter's photographs, taken on the way home from school.
When she emailed this to me I instantly thought of a vinyl LP we used to play quite often.
At the End of a perfect Day by Ralph McTell.
You can see the similarity in the sky and the title sums it up completely.

Skill Set: Hitting
Difficulty Level: Easy
Number of Athletes and Coaches: 1-2 athletes and 1 coach, or 2 athletes as partners
Average Time to Complete: 5 minutes
Equipment Required: Bat, tee, baseballs, net or screen to hit into
Goal: Focus on keeping the front leg firm throughout the finish of the swing
Description of the Drill:
• Tee set up in front of the middle of the plate
• Hitter sets up even with the plate, while partner places a ball on the tee
• Hitter starts with 75% swings
• After hitter makes contact, the back kneecap should move toward the inside of the front knee, touching it, and lifting the back foot off of the ground
• The focus should be on keeping the front leg firm throughout the finish of the swing
• Once the hitter feels comfortable with this movement, they can perform 100% swings with the knee to knee movement
• Partners switch after 10 swings
Add Difficulty:
• To add a degree of difficulty, the hitter can also move the tee to different contact point heights (low, middle, high)
Using Diamond Kinetics SwingTracker Sensor and mobile App - the following metrics and tools can help you measure your swing and see improvement when doing this drill:
Approach Angle
Overview: Using the Approach Angle metric, hitters clearly know the direction of their swing plane at the moment of impact. While the optimal Approach Angle is dependent on the type of pitch, it typically needs to be between +5° degrees and +15° degrees in order to hit a line drive and between +20° and +35° degrees in order to hit a home run.
Optimal Ranges by type of batter:
• For U10-14 players learning to hit line-drives: +6 to +10
• For U15-18 player who want to hit line-drives: +11 to +19
• For U15-18 power hitters who have strength & ability to hit deep: +20 to +35
Coaching Insights:
• Consider that a pitch is coming "downhill" from the mound at a -6° degree to -8° degree angle. To counter that, a batter should be making contact at an upward angle to "match the plane of the pitch" at a minimum.
• If you have a kid who is hitting a lot of ground balls – look at the approach angle and work drills to get the point of contact happening at a positive angle.
• When you marry Approach Angle with Distance in the Zone, you might see why a kid is popping up too much or fouling off.
• When hitting off a tee or even soft toss, you'd hope to see fairly consistent Approach Angles swing-by-swing, but when doing BP or facing live pitching, you will see a bigger range because the hitter has to "go get" the pitch (and that's OK).
Distance in the Zone
Overview: Using the Distance in the Zone metric, hitters can determine when their barrel is entering and leaving the hitting zone. The longer the barrel stays in the hitting zone, the better chance the player has to make consistent, solid contact. This is clearly depicted in the 3D viewer as the blue portion of the swing path.
Optimal Ranges by Age:
• U10-14: Good is 29-32 inches
• U15-18: Good is 31-34 inches
• College-Pro: Good is 33-37 inches
Coaching Insights:
• Having a swing that maintains a good Distance in The Zone gives the batter a better chance of making contact with the pitch. It also means the swing is "more forgiving"
• Having a good Distance In The Zone can account for small errors in timing because there is more "space" for the batter to make contact and still put the ball in play.
• This metric can help coaches identify loopy swings based on how early the barrel enters the zone and if there is a 'hard-turn' coming out of the zone.
• Additionally, based on where contact is most often made, it can help identify if a hitter is having issues with timing up the pitch.
Max Barrel Speed
Overview: Using Barrel speed, hitters can know the maximum speed of the bat's barrel during their swing. It's measured in miles per hour, so it's easy to understand and measure improvement over time. Higher barrel speed is the main factor in producing high exit velocity after contact so the ball goes further… faster.
Top 10% of Age Groups:
• U10 Players: 49mph +
• U12 Players: 54mph +
• U14 Players: 58mph +
• U16 Players: 63mph +
• U18 Players: 69mph +
• D1 College: 72mph +
Coaching Insights:
• This is the maximum speed of the bat's barrel during a swing, at a point 20% from the tip of the bat (i.e. the sweet spot). It is the main factor in producing high exit velocity when the ball is hit. It greatly affects both the distance and speed at which the ball travels after impact.
• Keep in mind that hitters need to "square the ball up" to maximize ball exit velocity.
• Increasing barrel speed is an important goal. Improvement should be measured over time to see if there is real physical and/or swing-mechanic growth.
• Mechanics are important, but so is size & strength. So when thinking about a kid's projectability, keep in mind if a player is not done growing yet.

The Gig City: Where Bandwidth is no Longer an Issue
What happens when technology meets creativity in Chattanooga, Tennessee?
"The Gig City".
Thanks to a 1 Gigabit-per-second fibre Internet service, known as "The Gig", all residents and businesses in a 600 square mile radius, will see an increase in bandwidth of 20-200x faster removing the pipe limitations seen in most metropolitan areas especially in the last mile.
Chattanooga's uniqueness comes in the fact that it's not just a brick and mortar tech town. It's nestled in the transition between the ridge and valley portion of the Appalachian Mountains and the Cumberland Plateau. The "Gig City" is also known as the "Scenic City" making it one of the most sought after destinations that "combines advanced technology infrastructure with a thriving cosmopolitan atmosphere that's just minutes from mountains, rivers and other outdoor playgrounds." according to gigcity.com.
The Competition
This summer, from May 14-August 16, Chattanooga is hosting a series of competitions for entrepreneurs and students to launch future applications using this revolutionary infrastructure.
The Money
Ten teams will be chosen for the Gig Tank and offered $15,000 to come to the Gig City to develop and test their idea live. The team with the 'smartest and most disruptive' business plan will capture a cash prize of $100,000.
There will also be a special prize awarded to best student-born idea of $50,000 cash and a chance to pitch their idea to VCs and Angel investors. Total prize money and investment capital of $300,000 is at stake.
Deadline to apply is March 20th. For more information visit http://www.thegigcity.com/gigtank.

Goalkeeper free to talk to other clubs having been unable to agree terms on a new contract.
Mansfield Town can confirm that the club has not agreed contract terms with goalkeeper Alan Marriott ahead of next season.
The 35-year-old, who made 201 league appearances for us, keeping 66 clean-sheets, is now free to talk to other clubs.
The news brings an end to a colourful five-and-a-half-year stay at One Call Stadium for Marriott, during which he established himself as our first-choice shot-stopper.
Marriott achieved many career firsts during his time with us – including playing at Wembley Stadium in the FA Trophy Final in May 2011 and winning promotion by way of the Conference Premier title in April 2013.
The Bedford-born custodian also scored the first goal in his career in April 2012, when his long downfield kick found the back of the net in a 2-0 televised victory over Wrexham.
Manager Paul Cox said: "Alan has been a tremendous servant to the club in the years that I've been here and I'd like to place on record my thanks to him for his efforts.
"I wish him every success in the future."
The club would like to place on record its thanks to Alan Marriott for his contributions during the last five-and-a-half years and we wish him every success in his future career.

Music And Humor Helps Lift Spirits – post-journal.com | News, Sports, Jobs, Community Information – Jamestown | Post-Journal.
This was found in the November 3, 2010 edition of the Jamestown Post-Journal (Jamestown, NY) I liked the letter and since these folks have gone into Warren State Hospital, despite being from New York state, I felt it was something worth sharing here since it does in my opinion demonstrate how someone who happens to have a disability can still bring a smile to the face of others who are struggling.
For those wondering where Jamestown is, it's along the NY/PA state line about 30 minutes from Warren, PA it's not unusual for folks from Jamestown area to come to Warren to shop and for folks from Warren to shop in Jamestown so it's what some may call a "border town" to PA.

Andrew Mellon
About Andrew Mellon
ANDREW MELLON d1937. American banker, businessman, industrialist, philanthropist, art collector and politician. From the wealthy Mellon family of Pennsylvania, he established a vast business empire before transitioning into politics. He served as US Secretary of The Treasury from March 9th 1921 to February 12th 1932, famously presiding over the boom years of the 1920s and the 1929 Wall Street Crash. A conservative Republican, he lowered taxes and government spending in the aftermath of World War I. By the 1920s, he was one of the richest people in the country, paying more in income taxes than all but two other American industrialists. He became unpopular after the onset of the Great Depression. According to Hoover, Mellon advised him to avoid intervening in the ongoing economic crisis. In 1932, the US House of Representatives began conducting impeachment hearings against him. Before the conclusion of the proceedings, he accepted appointment to the position of US Ambassador to the United Kingdom. He served in that post for the remainder of Hoover's presidency before retiring from public office in 1933. He died in New York aged 83 on August 26th 1937.

An original vintage circa 1920s RMS Berengaria embossed card, clearly signed in ink by Andrew Mellon.
One of a fine collection of original circa 1920-30s Cunard RMS Berengaria signed cards obtained by a Miss Brain who was a stewardess on board this famous cruise-liner. RMS Berengaria was originally named the SS Impersonator (built for the Hamburg America Line) and first launched in 1912. At the time of her completion (in June 1913) she was the largest passenger ship in the world, surpassing the RMS Olympic and her sister ship RMS Titanic by 24ft. During World War 1, she remained in port in Hamburg ; after the war she was briefly commissioned by the US Navy as a troop transport ship (USS Imperator). Following her US Navy Service, her name was changed to "RMS Berengaria" and she was handed over to Britain's Cunard Line as part of war reparations. She became their flagship cruise-liner between 1919-1934. She was retired in 1938 and later sold to Sir John Jarvis to be broken up and scrapped on the Tyne between 1939-1946.

Question: What do you get when you enlist the talents of
the world's greatest songwriter, the world's greatest
belter, the world's greatest known symbol of sex, two of the
world's best hoofers, one of the fifties' greatest crooners,
two of the greatest gams ever to dance across a Cinemascope
landscape and the greatest theatrical anthem ever written?
If you answered. "The greatest musical film of all time,"
boy would you be wrong. If you answered "There's No Business
Like Show Business," then you must be one of the cult
followers of this gaudy, glitzy and all-the-way-over-the-top
musical extravaganza. Either that, or you had nothing better
to do on a Saturday night when AMC was broadcasting this
1954 dinosaur ad nauseum. Or, you're the lucky owner of this
entry in Fox's Marilyn Monroe Diamond Collection. But,
getting back to the initial question, let's tackle this film
piece by piece.
Irving Berlin is represented by fourteen classic Tin Pan
Alley songs, as well as the title tune made famous by Ethel
Merman in the Broadway musical "Annie Get Your Gun." In
recompense for losing the film role, twice, to both Judy
Garland and Betty Hutton, Fox created a film role for The
Merm, teaming her with Marilyn Monroe. The mind boggles, but
wait, there's more. Dan Dailey and Donald O'Connor are
dancing fools as Merman's husband and son, respectively.
Johnnie Ray is Merman's other son, and Mitzi Gaynor is her
daughter. And you know, Merman doesn't age a day through the
course of the film! "There's No Business Like Show Business"
is a travelogue of theater music, starting in the glory days
of vaudeville, and following the careers of The Donahues,
first two vaudevillians, then three and as Merman gives
birth over and over, finally The Five Donahues. Toss the
sultriest performance by Marilyn Monroe into the mix - -
she's the object of Donald O'Connor's affection, and the
object of Merman's disdain - - whether draped in a
shimmering, sheer gown singing "After You Get What You Want,
You Don't Want It" or striking up a tropical "Heat Wave" in
a costume that surely had the censors on the edge of their
seats, and you've got the film's chief selling point.
Marilyn is at the top of her powers, but, is constantly
overshadowed by the other performers. Pity poor Marilyn when
the choreography of "Lazy" showcases Mitzi Gaynor and Donald
O'Connor - - her back-up dancers! Or even when Johnny Ray
(most definitely an acquired taste) belts out a
gospel-inflected "If You Believe" so close to Marilyn's
stunning "After You Get..." By the time that Marilyn
launches into "Heat Wave," easily the film's highlight,
there's nothing left for director Walter Lang to top that
off with, except the finale. Hundreds upon hundreds of
dancers and singers belting "There's No Business Like Show
Business" over and over and over as the principals are
placed on a rising pedestal in the midst of the gargantuan
production number.
Forget plot, characterization, conflict - - well, there
is a conflict: will Johnny Ray's Steve Donahue choose the
church over show business, but that's patly resolved in the
blink of an eye - - or any of those things normally
associated with script-writing. This is the cockeyed world
of 20th Century Fox musical film - - and what better
representation of musical conventions than that powerhouse
known as Ethel Merman? Is there a better representation of
the entire decade of sexuality than the force of nature that
was Marilyn Monroe? Is there a more extravagant exercise of
glitzy gaudiness in which the sum of all parts is far, far
greater than the whole shebang? Constantly dazzling to the
eye and ear, "There's No Business Like Show Business" is not
one of the greatest musical films of all time, nor is it the
Though the box says 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen,
"There's No Business Like Show Business" is presented in
2.55:1 anamorphic widescreen. This is yet another great
Monroe Fox restoration that impressed me. Color saturation
and fleshtones look natual and come across pretty bold.
Detail and black levels are great and I noticed some grain
here and there. Very impressive indeed.
The English Dolby 4.0 Surround is excellent. This is a
great remix and for a film that features a lot of music,
it's really brought to life nicely. There's good surround
use and creative mixing. Tiny sounds sound natural and
excellent, and it just gets better as the movie goes along.
Great remix. English Stereo is also included on another
track and English closed captions, English subtitles and
Spanish subtitles.
Two Theatrical Trailers (both anamorphic) are
included as well as a Portuguese Theatrical Trailer.
Plus, the Diamond Collection section houses trailers
for other Monroe films.
The box doesn't list a One Sheet Gallery or a
really good Restoration Comparison (where the
introduction says the film was the best one in shape of all
the Monroe films).
Packed with some great musical numbers, this DVD for
"There's No Business Like Show Business" gets the job done.
A great presentation wih decent extras, if you liked this
movie, then you'll be happy.

SO MOnday: 1st June 2015
Views 01/06/2015
Abbey Torrance and Hewie Dalrymple round up the best social and mobile news from the past week.
Generation #: One in ten under-four-year-olds use tablets
The latest findings from media regulator Ofcom have revealed some pretty interesting (or shocking) stats:
- One in ten 3 – 4 year olds access tablets
- Children aged five to sixteen 'now spend an average six and a half hours a day in front of a screen, in comparison to just three hours back in 1995'
This news comes alongside the report that 'hashtag' has been declared the 'children's word of the year by the Oxford University Press. Researchers found children's use of the word had extended from the realm of social media to written short stories and spoken word'.
Shadow Wi-Fi: Preventing Skin Cancer
It is June 1st; summer is unquestionably upon us. Whilst some of you will assume the UK's somewhat meagre sunshine levels exempt us from skin cancer, think again! Skin cancer is one of the fastest growing cancers in the world and we should be aware of the dangers.
In Peru the League Against Cancer and digital agency Happiness Anywhere found an innovative way to raise awareness of the disease.
They created a free Wi-Fi network on Peruvian beaches called 'Shadow Wi-Fi'. A large structure was erected on beaches with a directional Wi-Fi broadcast so that the free Wi-Fi area moved in line with the shadow, anyone left in the sun, could no-longer connect.
Click here to see a short video, summarising the project.
The 4G uplift in UK due to mobile video viewing figures
The UK mobile operator EE has announced that 4G usage has now overtaken 3G, with the majority of that traffic coming from video consumption.
According to the 4G EE report, 28% of all UK 4G traffic was video downloading, uploading and streaming.
Web browsing and e-mail accounted for 30% of usage, slightly higher than video consumption, however mobile video is a trend that brands should continue to cater for, as with 4G rolling out across the nation, more and more will be consumed.
Instagram launches Carousel advertising in the UK
From June 1st, Instagram is launching its carousel ad format across its platform to encourage advertisers to be more creative and drive further user engagement with ads. 'Instagrammers' will be able to swipe left to see four additional images, enabling brands to tell a story with their ads.
In additional to the carousel, advertisers will also be able to link users through to their site - opening up Instagram to a range of brands whose objectives have a direct response (DR) focus.
A trial period for the carousel saw a retail advertiser show different ways to wear an item and a supermarket show recipes in a series of images.
Amy Cole, the head of brand development for EMEA at Instagram, said: "Carousel is a natural evolution. We are seeing incredible results from videos and this will help advertisers tell more complete stories. It's a way of us finding ways of expanding the offering with the brands we are working with."
Facebook test 'Path Flyout menu' in-app
Facebook shared with TechRadar last week that they are currently in beta testing a menu flyout, similar to Path.
"The options atop the current version of the iPhone app for status, photo and check in are replaced with a post button in the bottom menu. When clicked, options appear for take photo, check in, share photo and write post."
A Facebook spokesperson confirmed the test to TechCrunch, saying: "We are always exploring ways to improve the Facebook experience, and are currently testing small updates to the navigation."
SOMO Fun
Apple is trying to find the woman who dropped this old Apple computer off at their recycling centre.

Thrustmaster TX Leather Edition Force Feedback Racing Wheel and T3PA Pedal set. I used it on an X Box One S. I got it new, for Christmas December 2017 so, it is a little over one year old. I connected it to my desk and never moved it. Full working condition. Lots of fun especially if you are coming from a pad. Please contact for delivery options. Collection in person is reccomended. Even Royal Mail 2nd Class is £20+ because of the weight but, if that's cool with you it's cool with me International shipping rates are looking at around a minimum of $66 (USA) for a 1 week shipping time. I'll ship at your own risk. The wheel is working perfectly right now... Good Luck! Footage Examples
Thrustmaster TX Internal Upgrades?!
ROYAL SAV4GE posted a topic in Sim Racing DiscussionHey guys, I'm wondering if anyone has ever upgraded their internals inside their Thrustmaster TX? My motor just burnt out a couple days ago and I'm thinking of upgrading the motor, replacing the belts, maybe doubling the fans or upgrading the fan and I would also maybe like to upgrade the power supply if its possible. What I'm really looking for is the parts needed so my wheel doesn't burn out again... I'm asking because Thrustmaster won't sell me the parts or give me a parts list. They wan't me to pay 60$ to sent it + shipping + the cost of the parts needed... Hopefully someone can help me out! Forza Motorsports 7 burnt out my wheel lol...

Thrustmaster TX issues - Forza 7 - force feedback, calibration and other
diabel posted a topic in ThrustmasterHello everyone. I am hoping you could help with the problem I've been having with the Thrustmaster TX (Ferrari 548 edition) wheel. Any help would be appreciated before I go searching for the replacement. I had the wheel for a few years and it is now out of warranty. I use the wheel with Xbox One and have been playing Forza 6/7 and PC 1/2 over the last couple of years. Problems started occurring with Forza 7 and are now happening in all the games. Initially Forza 7 was set to FFB @ 100% so maybe that is where things went wrong. I turned it down to 50% now but that did not help. Initial symptoms were loss of force feedback and inability to calibrate. Recently the wheel connects to Xbox but does not even atttempt to calibrate and none of the buttons (except for the Xbox button) are working. I run Motocalibration to reset the wheel. What I've tried so far: 1.) Breakaway USB cable - replaced with new. No impact. 2.) Configured fan to run at all times. 3.) Opened the wheel and checked the fan operation and general heat. Heatsink around the motor is barely warm. Don't think this is overheating issue. 4.) Motocalibration - this actually brings the wheel back for probably 20 minutes after which force feedback slowly goes away and wheel is back to unresponsive. 5.) Turned the FFB in Forza 7 to 50% from 100% originally. Symptoms definitely point to what others and Thrustmaster described as overheating but I see no correlation with the actual temperature of the motor heatsink. Unless the sensor that tracks that went bad... Any suggestions on what else I can try would be appreciated before I scrap this thing and look for another wheel.
Thrustmaster TX buttons not working?!
ROYAL SAV4GE posted a topic in General Hardware QuestionsHey guys, So I drift competitively on forza and my ebrake finally stopped working after a couple months of wiring it. Now fast forward to this past couple days, my ebrake would work when it wanted so I took my wheel apart, made all the new wiring and everything for it and this time the buttons on the wheel itself don't work but the force feedback works... So my thoughts are... Did I fry the circuit board or whatever its called that powers the buttons or is it just a bad connector? Has anyone ever had anything similar happen? If the circuit board or whatever its called is fried, what can I do to replace this without buying a whole new add on wheel? Thank you for your time and hope one of you's can help me out!
WTB: Thrustmaster TX Mainboard
itsTizzleB posted a topic in Sim Gear - Buy and SellBackstory: I recently purchased a set of SimAbility's GT Paddles for Thrustmaster for use on my TX base. Call it bad luck, but about a week later my wheelbase kicked the bucket after a few years service. Turns out the main PCB board is what failed. I'm looking for any Thrustmaster TX base, parts or complete wheelbase, to pull the mainboard from to try to get back up and running. I don't have a need for the rim, pedals, cables, or any of that jazz. If you have a TX or similar base accumulating dust, I would be interested. Thanks!

TX DIY upgrades & repair - See 1st post updated 5/18/14
MattyK-USA posted a topic in Thrustmaster Modifications5/18/2014 updated thread docs: By generous permission of the author Andrew Daniels, I have attached an abridged copy of his thread from the page referenced below, which describes his ongoing analysis of the Thrustmaster TX wheel base. His goal is to be able to provide the enthusiast community with a guide for repairing / modding TX wheels, once they are out of warranty. The attached copy contains all of Andy's posts and images, while leaving only the thread comments that are relevant to Andy's narrative. There are 2 files: one in Office XML format with active links, and one much smaller PDF for reading only. I will try to keep these files periodically updated as Andy progresses, if there is sufficient interest in the ISR forum. I certainly plan to take advantage of Andy's guidance in the future. While the content is very technical in many places, there are conclusions that Andy draws that will be useful to a wider audience of DIY'ers. Finally - Andy has been VERY generous in sharing this information. Let's respect his work, and recognize that it is his to decide where it gets copied and posted. In other words, don't reproduce it for non-personal use without Andy's consent please. Thanks, Andy! Matty K.

WTB: Thrustmaster TX Parts
Pracer36 posted a topic in Sim Gear - Buy and SellI am looking for parts for my TX, specifically the male 6-pin DIN connecter on the back of the steering wheel. I will buy a wheel to get the part if necessary, but if so I'd rather buy the original 458 wheel because I don't mind ripping it apart. Also I am looking for a spare USB cable for the wheel base, I am willing to buy another base to get it as long as it is not too expensive because it will be useless after I get what I need.
TX right endstop seems squishy
Jay Meazy posted a topic in ThrustmasterHello, I'm new here but this seems like a great place to get help. I recently bought a TX and I was aware that it had a calibration problem with slamming into the right endstop, but thanks to this forum I was able to fix that problem, and because I saw the solution I was confident in buying it in the as is condition. I'm only having one other problem right now, as you can see in the video, the right endstop seems squishy, likes perhaps the person that did own this wheel let it hit off the side a few too many times, and perhaps there was a key there that creates the endstop, but the key has been broken? I'm going to have it apart in the upcoming week so I can make a handbrake mod, so then would be a good time to fix it. Thanks in advance! EDIT: If you're here because you're having problems with the auto-calibration(initial startup) and it's slamming into the right endstop repeatedly, or many other auto-calibrating issues, try this tool And here's the video of what my wheel is doing:

Bajaj Auto has silently launched the Avenger Cruise 220 in a new Desert Gold colour option. The bike has already reached some of the showrooms and dealers says that the bike will be retailed at ₹ 85,497 (ex-showroom, Delhi) same as the standard Cruise 220. Interestingly the new Desert Gold Colour of the Avenger Cruise 220 is very similar to shade on the old Yamaha Enticer, which was a very popular colour option when the bike was still in production.
The new Avenger series has been working out really well for the home-grown two-wheeler manufacturer and it has seen considerable growth in the cruiser segment. The company recorded cumulatively sold 31,000 units of the new Avenger bikes. Except for the new colour options and brown seat there are no new changes, be it superficial and mechanical. Currently only the Cruise 220 has received a new colour option, whether the Street 220 and 150 will also receive more colour options is yet to be confirmed. Some of the dealer we spoke to have confirmed that the new Desert Gold Avenger Cruise 220 will be available across all outlets within the next couple of days.
Bajaj Avenger Cruise 220
Bajaj launched the new Avenger series earlier last year in October and the two-wheeler manufacture introduced three new Avenger models - Cruise 220, Street 220, and Street 150. While the former two were designed taking two different kind of riding needs into consideration, highway cruising and city riding, the smaller Street 150 was designed to target the entry level cruiser bike market. Sadly all three models - Cruise 220, Street 220, and Street 150, came only in one colour option per model- Devine Black, Matte Black and Midnight Blue respectively. It seems like Bajaj has taken customer demands into consideration and is now working on bringing out more colour options.
Both the Cruise 220 and Street 220 are powered by a 220cc, single cylinder, air-cooled engine that churns out 18bhp and develops 17.5Nm of peak torque. On the other hand the Avenger Street 150 is powered by a 150cc, single cylinder engine that churns out 14.3bhp and develops 12.5Nm of peak torque. Both the motors come mated to a 5-speed gearbox with 1-down-4-up action.

Crews will be working on right-of-way this summer
Reclaiming the Enbridge pipeline right-of-way
May 29, 2019, 1:59 pm
What happens after Enbridges Line 3 replacement pipeline is in the ground?
With construction of the Line 3 replacement pipeline essentially complete in Canada, the process of reclamationreturning the land to its former use and productive capabilityis set to begin in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
Banister Pipelines is overseeing the work on behalf of Enbridge over approximately 280 kilometres from Regina, through the Moosomin area, to Cromer.
A crew of approximately 180 is mobilizing to begin about June 10 and working their way southeast from Regina.
Weather permitting, the expectation is the crews will be in the Moosomin area around mid-August and likely using the Banister construction office as home base during this time.
Our promise is to restore the pipeline right-of-way to as good or better condition than it was before construction, and to minimize the long-term impact to the land along our pipelines, says Allen Sawatzky, Construction Manager for the Line 3 project.
Before construction takes place, we obtain regulatory approval and the environmental permits which prescribe specific reclamation measures and techniques proven to be successful in past projects.
Most reclamation occurs within the first year following construction. However, it can take longer, depending on weather and other environmental conditions. The first phase involves a more visible presence of workers. As the work winds down, crew sizes diminish as well.
A critical component of right-of-way reclamation involves working with landowners, from the outset of a project, to reach agreement on property-specific items that will be addressed during and after construction.
This could include things like repairing fences, driveways or landscaping, seeding hay land and native prairie areas, long-term erosion control measures in environmentally sensitive areas, and special care to be taken when working around livestock, Sawatzky explains.
During excavation for the Line 3 replacement pipeline, topsoil was separated from the subsoil to ensure the land remains productive for agricultural purposes after construction.
The land is re-contoured to maintain drainage patterns, hay land and native prairie areas are reseeded, cultivated land is prepared for planting, and wetlands and watercourses are stabilized and revegetated to prevent erosion and ensure habitat is restored for the many plants and wildlife along the line.
Although most temporary workspaces will be allowed to grow back, we will generally maintain an approximately 12-metre-wide permanent right-of-way free of structures, trees and shrubs so that the pipeline is visible during aerial inspections and accessible in the case of an emergency, Sawatzky adds.
To prepare the right-of-way for final reclamation, crews have been out and about in all of the 2018 construction areas making sure everything is okay during spring breakup.
Weve got a full complement of staff out there doing general maintenance, Sawatzky says. Topping up gravel here and there, some erosion control, sign maintenance, gate repairs, hydroseedingthings like that, he says. Were talking with landowners and staying on top of it.
One such request came from a landowner in the Maryfield area whose tractor was stuck on the right-of-way.
We got the tractor off, cleaned it up, put some mats down, and got it across, Sawatzky says. And hes happy because we were able to do it the next morning.
The Reclamation Process
Enbridge takes numerous measures to minimize the long-term impact along their pipeline rights-of-way. Here are the steps involved:
After pipe installation but prior to topsoil replacement, environmental crews respond to subsidence and/or drainage issues that create access problems for farmers or landowners, public safety issues, or to prevent environmental issues such as erosion;
Reclamation begins by removing construction debris, access ramps, and re-contouring the right of way to its original profile;
Once the subsoil on the right of way is re-contoured, the entire right of way is de-compacted where heavy equipment has been working to prepare the right of way for the replacement of stored topsoil;
Next, crews pull the stored topsoil piles back over the right of way and distribute it evenly over the area in which it came from, preparing the areas for seeding and revegetation;
Finally, native prairie and hay lands areas are seeded, cultivated lands are straw crimped to prepare for the planting of the next crop, and pasture land fences are repaired.
