Position Vacant
Football Manager – Anakie Football & Netball Club
To oversee all football operations
Position Description & Numerations on enquiry
All enquiries to email@example.com
Welcome to the GDFL
NORTH GEELONG has ended an 11-year premiership drought with a 20-point win over Bell Post Hill at St. Albans. The Magpies, who last held the GDFL flag in 2002, led at every change, in front of a huge crowd, on their way to a hard earned 20 point victory, ending the Panthers hopes of becoming the first club to win four consecutive premierships in the modern era.
After a tight opening quarter, North Geelong were up by five points, but then kicked away in the second term, kicking 4.4 while the Panthers posted an inaccurate 2.6.
The Panthers though were not to be cast aside and rallied in the send half to get back to 3 points early in the last with two steady goals to Travis Fursland. But it was the Magpies time and goals to captain Derek Fitzsimmons and Blake Podnar created the break the the Hill could not reign in.
Fitzsimmons starred with four goals for North Geelong, while teenager Podnar, Rod Hutchinson and Toby Biggs each kicked three.
Podnar was named best on ground and received the AFL Victoria medal.
It was a disappointing outcome for the Bell Post Hill club with the A Grade netball also going down to Premiers and Champions Werribee Centrals. The Centurions stamped their control on the game early and were never headed winning by 18 goals with Makayla Ward outstanding.

Adrienne Bankert, the oldest of seven children, grew up in the Placer County town of Sheridan. She is an alumna of Sierra College where she received her Liberal Arts degree later transferring to the University of Southern California where she received a Communication degree.
She is currently employed as an anchor/reporter for Channel 3 KCRA News/KQCA and the host of KCRA 3's Common Ground. She began her news career there in 2004 as a traffic anchor. Bankert feels that her start in reporting road conditions was a wonderful beginning; since then she has worked various stories from features to the death of a Sheriff's Deputy and the Butte County wildfires. She is very grateful for the unique opportunity to work for the # 1 station in the 19th largest TV market in the country and feels that "coming home" was a great step to major growth.
As a student at Sierra College, Bankert was grateful to receive excellent guidance and insight from her teachers and the counseling staff, especially when she didn't know the next step to take. She fondly recalls being told by Carla Epting-Davis, a counselor at Sierra to "get it together, girl, and transfer!" Bankert remembers Epting-Davis going as far as to drive her down to Southern California so she could check out the campus.
"I didn't have the best grades or even competitive SAT scores. But that trip gave me a vision that I could get into this school (USC)", says Bankert.
That was the inspiration needed to pursue the private university setting that began her career in television. It was USC where she hosted talk shows on the university television station. Bankert interviewed community leaders, activists, and Hollywood stars such as George Lucas.
While in Southern California Ms. Bankert's first "paid gig" was as TV host for PBS affiliate KLCS, later freelancing for companies like McGraw Hill, ABC/Disney, and Spike TV.
Bankert says that she has always had great support and was often given a guiding hand. Because of the wonderful help she's received Bankert does whatever she can to give back to the community. She truly believes you should "never forget where you come from." She often speaks to community groups, and schools. She also works with the READ Across America Program annually. This fall Bankert will help host the Alzheimer's Association Memory Walk and the National Coalition for 100 Black Women's annual community awards luncheon.
One of Bankert's mottos is, "be content wherever you're at! Love where you're at, live where you're at."
Favorite Classes: Statistics and Speech
Fondest Memory: Road trip with Carla Epting-Davis to check out USC.
Best Advice: "Get it together, girl, and transfer."

Arguably the most famous U.S. skater today, especially after he won the Dancing with the Stars competition back in 2007—Apolo Ohno never went to school in Marquette but has trained often at the USOEC, so Northern Michiganders can claim a heartfelt bond with the Seattle native with the famous soul patch.
This is Ohno's third Olympics and he'll be striving to become the most medaled winter Olympian in U.S. history (Ohno has five medals, Bonnie Blair has six). This fall, at the Olympic trials in Marquette, skate fans and locals were treated to Ohno and fellow skate star Shani Davis kicking back in this low-key Lake Superior port town. One of their favorite eat spots: The Rice Paddy. Restaurant and head cook Aoy LaChapelle said she cooked special meals for Apolo, because he is on a very strict diet: steamed fish, steamed wild rice and steamed mushrooms. "I cook whatever is good for him," she says.
Pete Vordenberg was an NCCA Nordic ski champ when he skied for Sten Fjeldheim at Northern Michigan University, competed at the 1992 Olympics and is now the head Nordi coach for the 2010 Olympic Nordic team.
We have gone from a country that hardly put skiers inside the top 20 on the World Cup to a country that scores World
Cup top 3 results every year, won medals at the world championships, and is a contender in almost every race for a top result. Look for us to vie for medals; look for us to do our country proud.
The only thing more important than winning a medal is how we will win that medal. We will not cheat or use any illegal methods or drugs, we will not endanger the health of our athletes, we will work hard, work as a team, and we will win as a team.
The landscape of a place forms the people that really live in it. You can go to school or live in a place, but if you don't get out into the area you could be anywhere. In Marquette and the U.P. if you got out in the wild like all skiers do, you will be formed by a beautiful and rough landscape. It is a hard place any time of year and also a beautiful one any time of year.
I can remember in vivid detail single training sessions from the early 90's. I can see moments from rollerski workouts like they are happening right now, see mental images from runs with my teammates in the early mornings before class. I can't tell you a favorite route because the favorite part was not the route but the teammates I shared the route with. The area was and is special, but my fondest memories are the people I explored the area with.
The caf [NMU cafeteria]. For me and my friends there were not too many nights out. We ate caf food and a lot of it. We could stretch a dinner into a few hours and five or more trips to the food line. Yeah, I loved the food. There was always a period of time in the fall where your guts had to get used to it, we called it caf attack, but after that it was pure joy. Seriously.
Olympic athletes coming out of Marquette generally develop in one of two programs: either the cross country ski team at Northern Michigan University or the United States Olympic Education Center. The success of the NMU cross-country ski program—a traditional collegiate athletic team—is largely attributed to coach Sten Fjeldheim, a low-key competitor with a renowned sense of humor who has an eye for individual potential and an understanding of how to build team cohesion in an individual sport. He has also coached the U.S. Ski Team, the Olympic Nordic team and the Junior National team.
The Olympic Education Center, launched in 1985, is part of the offi cial Olympic athlete development program, which has four such training centers around the United States.
The Marquette center trains short track speedskating, boxing, Greco-Roman wrestling, weightlifting, and women's freestyle wrestling, and it is the only center based at a four-year university—important for athletes wanting to attend college while training. Younger athletes typically attend high school in Marquette public schools. Athletes who trained here have won more than 80 Olympic medals since the center's inception.

Bai Hao Yin Zhen (organic)
A most beautiful tea
This is a true luxury, considered by many to be China's most famous white tea. To create it, only the downy, silvery unopened buds of the tea plant are picked by hand during the April harvest. How does this influence the flavour and aroma? Connoisseurs rave about its sweet complexity, and about an underlying grassy taste that makes it uniquely perfect. (MK Kosher)
Ingredients: High-grown white tea from the mountains of Fujian Province, China.

Trust In Your Ability To Tell A Story
This post has spoilers for Beth Spann. (I've already texted Mama and asked her not to read my Monday post—Mama, if you are reading the post, this is your spoiler alert!)
I was at a garden center last week, looking for a Christmas cactus to give my mother for Christmas.
There was a really pretty plant there—it's in the picture, above. It was obviously the best choice for a gift.
While I was looking around, the owner of the garden center bustled around, answering questions and sounding extremely knowledgeable about plants. But by the time I'd make it to the register, she'd disappeared to a different area of the nursery. There was another lady at the register who smiled at me. "Can I help you?" she asked.
"I don't have much luck with indoor plants," I said. "I need to make sure this plant makes it until Christmas. Do you have any tips for me?"
The woman looked at me with wide eyes. "Let me see if I can find Sara real quick."
She did her best to find Sara, but she was nowhere around. The woman returned slowly to the register. "I'm afraid she's not around."
"Do you know how much water it needs?" I asked. "I usually have problems with watering." There wasn't one of those little plastic stakes that usually tells how to care for the plant, either.
The woman took a deep breath, seemed to do a mental search of all her knowledge on cacti, and said, "Well….the soil should be moist, but not wet to the touch. You need to keep it out of direct sunlight and make sure it's not under any heat vents." She continued talking about the plant, getting more confident as she went and giving me more and more information about Christmas cacti.
I thanked her for her help, and then said, "You seem to know a lot about the plants."
"Oh, I take care of them," she answered.
So…she took care of the Christmas cacti every day, but didn't seem to trust herself to explain to me how to care for them. She wanted to find the expert—the owner.
This is the way I think many of us feel when we're writing, too. We don't trust ourselves to tell the story. We hesitate as we're writing, thinking we can't tell the story the way we want it to be told.
We read up on the writing craft, but sometimes this reading takes the place of our practice time. There's definitely a point where we need to put our how-to books aside and just write our story.
Like the lady who took care of the plants—when we practice, we learn. And once we finish our first draft, we have ample opportunity to edit our story to ensure it's exactly the one we meant to tell.
A few tips for making sure we finish our story:
Set a manageable goal. Revisit that goal if it proves not to be manageable.
Show up. Meet that manageable goal we set for ourselves by sitting down and opening up our document.
Be flexible with our writing time and the places we write. Be open to writing on the spur of the moment.
Read books in our genre. It's the only way to learn how to structure books, or to get a sense of the right pace for our stories. Read blog posts, books, and articles that help us improve—but don't let the how-to reading interfere with or take the place of our writing time.
Be forgiving of our first draft.
Stop comparing ourselves to others. Enjoy others' work, learn from it. But develop our own voice and confidence in our writing…by writing regularly.
Do you trust yourself to tell your story? How do you work through your insecurities to finish your draft? Tips for staying motivated?

Hi Elizabeth .. trust yourself, otherwise you'll never move forward. What a great example of story telling; yet perhaps the owner dominates and doesn't let the assistant have a go ... trust your staff, especially if they're interested.
Love the Christmas cactus .. lucky mother .. cheers Hilary - December 3, 2012 at 3:20 AM

Great advice, Elizabeth. I know a lot of people who could take a lesson from this.
- December 3, 2012 at 4:57 AM
- Elizabeth Spann Craig/Riley Adams said...
Hilary--Yes, I think it's a good lesson for business, for sure. Trust the staff and let *them* grow and assume other roles. They'll be more confident and satisfied with their work...and stick around longer.
Paul--Thanks for coming by!

Elizabeth - I couldn't possibly agree with you morea bout the need to trust our instincts when it comes to our writing. Yes of course it's always good to hear from experts and I learn a lot from other writers' experiences. Why re-invent the wheel? But at the same time, I think you're quite right that we need to have faith in our storytelling ability. That faith comes through to the reader and helps win us fans. Betcha the next time you go looking for a plant, you'll go to that same person who didn't seem sure she knew what she was talking about. That's what I mean.

I was trying to figure out Scrivener a couple of weeks ago, and it totally messed me up in terms of trusting myself. Once I went to my blank page and didn't think about the story, only the scene I was writing, things started flowing again. (And, as so often happens, we're in cybersync today, because this is my own blog topic!)

Margot--I think lack of confidence is what makes many writers get frustrated with their writing and run into blocks. Yes, I'll know who to go to at the garden center next time!
Diane--Ha! I know what you mean...confidence can come and go.
Karen--Oh good! Thanks so much for coming by. :)
The Daring Novelist--Exactly!
Kathy--Thanks so much for saying so! I'm looking forward to reading one of your books soon...hope your writing is going well. :)

Terry--Oh, I bet that messed you up. Learning new apps is tough...I'm working on Evernote and finding it more difficult than I thought it would be. I'm like you--I think of my story in terms of scenes.

Learning to trust myself is an ongoing project. I'm much more confident now, but it's still a process :)

- fcmalby said...
This is a great analogy and an example of really good story telling. Writers wrestle with the issue of trusting their judgement more than they care to admit. Part of the writing process involves vulnerability, and that's where the doubt can creep in. It's a beautiful plant! Fiona

- Marilynn Byerly said...
As someone who has had these plants for years and kept them alive, as well, I suggest you give the plant to your mom NOW. By Christmas, all the blooms will be gone.
If you live in a colder part of the US, be sure to use some newspaper or floral paper as a collar/scarf when you carry it outside, or it will be damaged. You can also knock off the blooms if it's jiggled too badly.
Otherwise, the advice on care was spot on. Tell your mom to give it a light feeding of liquid fertilizer after the blooms fall off. - December 4, 2012 at 11:15 AM
- Elizabeth Spann Craig/Riley Adams said...
Jemi--You've worked so hard since I've known you--I think you're doing a great job! Looking forward to reading that book of yours.
fcmalby--Thanks, Fiona! And I think you're spot-on--what makes writers good writers...sensitivity, vulnerability, etc., can also make us insecure and hesitant.
Marilynn--Uh-oh! Ugh..not sure if I'm seeing her before Christmas.
:( But...I do have some really pretty pictures of it! Sigh. No, I'm in the South. But I've already jiggled off some blooms as I've moved it around, so thanks for the suggestion!

That's a very nice and encouraging post.
Cacti in plural; then I've learnt something today too. Latin origin, is it? Like radius - radii.

- December 4, 2012 at 12:30 PM
- Marilynn Byerly said...
Elizabeth, keep the cactus for yourself and buy a huge poinsettia for your Mom. They can last forever. I've had mine with color into late summer.

Most amazing family holiday!
Most amazing family holiday!
- Guest Grover (Peachland BC)
- Date of stay 09/07/11
- Review Submitted 09/17/11
We recently stayed at This amazing house. There were 17 of us, 7 kids and 10 adults. There was so much room, and so much for the kids to do. I never once heard the dreaded "I'm board!" the grounds are beautifully kept and the view was breathtaking!! We saw whales 3 out of the 5 days we were there, right from the deck. Our holiday was the first week of September and the weather was awesome! Sunny and hot. We explored the island and found many great things to see and do. The people on this island are so kind and helpful. There just really is not one negative thing I could say about this holiday destination. From ferry ride in to ferry ride out, it was by far the best time we could have hoped for. We are planing to return next year!!Recommended for: Sightseeing, people with disabilities, girls getaway, families with young children, pet owners, adventure seekers, age 55+, families with teenagers.

Book: The Eye of Minds by James Dashner
Michael is a gamer. And like most gamers, he almost spends more time on the VirtNet than in the actual world. The VirtNet offers total mind and body immersion, and it's addictive. And the more hacking skills you have, the more fun. Why bother following the rules when most of them are dumb, anyway?
But some rules were made for a reason. Some technology is too dangerous to fool with. And recent reports claim that one gamer is going beyond what any gamer has done before: he's holding players hostage inside the VirtNet.
The government knows that to catch a hacker, you need a hacker. And they've been watching Michael. They want him on their team. But there's the possibility that the line between game and reality will be blurred forever.

Im new here and this may have b we answered but to my knowledge it wasn't anyway for a few unspecified reasons my iPad 2 warrants a warranty exchange. The nice guy from apple care says I just need to ship it tomorrow and the replacement would arrive in 5-7 days. However, he said I might could get something more quickly done a an apple store (about an hour and a half from me). So, my question is: what should I do? Has anyone else gone through something similar that knows which route is better. Thanks in advance!

Some folks won't mind driving...some would rather do the shipping method. Different strokes...different folks.
If you have the time...and don't mind driving...I would go to the Apple Store...since I like to get this sort of stuff taken care of ASAP! Just make sure you call first...so that they are in agreement with what Apple told you on the phone. You don't want to drive 3 hours (round-trip) for nothing. - Nick - Computer slow, too many "beachballs", read this: Beachballs - Computer seems slower than it used to?

I had some bleeding on my iPad when I bought it, but it was minimal, so I just ignored it. But, it seemed to be getting worse over the last couple months so I went to my Apple Store. They replaced it on the spot. I think I was in the store no more than 30 minutes. It was convenient and I didn't have to wait a few days iPad-less while products were in-transit.

'Les Miserables,' 'The Hobbit,' and 7 of the most exciting movies of December
'Les Miserables' and 'The Hobbit' make the cut for some of the most anticipated films of this month.
December is typically the time of the year that builds to a strong end - and in 2012, the latter part of the month will hit moviegoers with a wide array of films. While the obvious choice for most anticipated of the month goes to The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, there are still several new films worth checking out before we turn the calendar to 2013 - including the highly-anticipated next features from two critically acclaimed directors.
And, of course, there are a few hit or miss titles, many of them comedies, that could make a sizeable splash thanks to this very family-friendly movie going season.
Here are the 7 films we are looking forward to in the month of December.
Screen Rant had a humble start back in 2003 as a place to rant about some of the dumber stuff related to the movie industry. Since then, the site has grown to cover more and more TV and movie news (and not just the dumb stuff) along with sometimes controversial movie reviews. The goal at Screen Rant is to cover stories and review movies from a middle ground/average person perspective.

'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'
It's been a long time coming for the feature-film adaptation of The Hobbit, but it's finally in capable hands and set to debut in just a few short weeks. By no means do we intend to discredit Guillermo Del Toro's work on the project, or his selection as the film's first director, but we really can't imagine anyone but Peter Jackson directing The Hobbit.
And now that we know An Unexpected Journey is just one in a planned three-part film series there's the sense that Jackson is ready to deliver yet another epic tale. It could be argued that The Hobbit, unlike Lord of the Rings, could be succinctly summed up in one, maybe two films, but that's just not Jackson's style. Hopefully this second trip to Middle-earth is just as enchanting as the first.
'Monsters Inc.' (3D)
Like Finding Nemo, Monsters Inc. is getting the Disney/Pixar 3D treatment in the hopes of reintroducing the feature to a whole new generation of children. And like Nemo (which has a sequel, Finding Nemo 2 on the way), Monsters will reacquaint audiences with characters they will be seeing again, in next summer's prequel film, Monsters University.
Disney and Pixar 3D re-releases thus far have enjoyed moderate success dependant on moviegoers' fondness for the property, so we will see how well Monsters Inc. matches up with the likes of Toy Story, Beauty and the Beast, and The Lion King. Either way, we're intrigued by the prospect of seeing Sully's luscious purple and blue locks in 3D.

Wuyi Yan Cha Rou Gui granny tea (huang pian)
The "grandma tea" (huang pian) are the older, bigger leaves selected out from the final tea product. It's often drunk by "grandmas" of tea families, hence the name. Another saying is, the leaves are older than others so that can be seen as "grandmas".

The state is among six, plus the District, that limit the sale of high-capacity magazines. Of those, however, Maryland is the least stringent, defining large capacity as those holding in excess of 20 rounds. O'Malley's plan would halve to 10 the number of rounds that magazines would be allowed to hold in Maryland. A poll released Sunday showed that he will start efforts to sway the legislature on his gun-control package with broad public support for that measure, as well as for restricting the sale of assault weapons.
O'Malley's plan includes a blanket ban on all assault weapons, and aides said it would focus particularly on features that enhance a weapon's lethality.
A bigger say for the state
More broadly, however, O'Malley's plan would give Maryland a far greater say in all future gun sales, limiting purchases to those who qualify for a license, which aides said would be issued by the Maryland State Police.

I bet a lot of people are saying that after they've finished digging themselves out of the snow. Hot toddies everyone? The snow that fell here Wednesday was less than predicted. It was a regular old February storm. By Thursday afternoon, everyone was dug out and it was business as usual. Of course, storms don't keep us down for long anyway.
Besides the snow, what happened this week?
*Remember the disgruntled lady who was dumping condiments in the library drop off box? She plead guilty to the charges.
*Some creative library budget cut protest posters from Phil Bradley.
*Sad news for Canadian publishing: distributor Fenn is considering bankruptcy. Great books too. What will happen now?
*Trying to get a piece of that pie (chart) is difficult for women writers.
*Presenting Lenore is hosting Dystopian February.
*Canada Reads starts Monday, February 7th. Tune in and support your favorites.
*Ugh! Bedbugs they're everywhere, even the library.
*A list of feminist books for young adults comes apart in the comments. Controversy ensues.
*Etsy Love: "Read More Books" Good advice Iota Illustrations.
Have a good weekend! And if you have snow where you are get out your toboggan and enjoy it!

Charlie Emerson N4OKL is the benevolent dictator of the Huntsville Hamfest.
Charlie's now saying, "Wait... is THAT what they got out of the interview?" Not really.
But Huntsville isn't like most hamfests, and Charlie explains why. Then he confuses

Today we have a Guest Post from Comedian Gerry Mcbride, who has combined his knowledge of DIY, with his lust for caving peoples skulls in, to bring us his…
"Top Tools Of The Zombie Apocalypse"
It's one of my favourite scenes from one of my favourite zombie movies; I'm talking Shaun of the Dead here people, and the scene in question finds our hung-over heroes Shaun and Ed confronting two unwelcome visitors to their back garden; a pair of zombies. Having been told by Sky News that the undead conform to the standard Romero Destroy-Brain/ Remove-Head rules of engagement, Shaun and Ed make haste to the toolshed to gear up for a fight. As a life-long Hardware zealot, I was excited to see what tools the two lads would emerge with and subsequently smack the crap out of their intruders with, only to be disappointed with their weapons of choice; A cricket bat and a spade.
Weak, guys.
Ok, neither of them look like the kind of lads that partake in a bit of DIY so maybe I was wrong to expect that their toolshed would have any actual tools. I can't help but think that maybe if they'd gone to a hardware shop once in they life they may have bought themselves some ordinance that would have greatly helped them in their fight against the undead. For example…
1) Stanley FatMax Xtreme #55-120
Why you might find one useful everyday:
You are as fond of dismantling things as much as you are of building them.
Why you might find one useful in a Zombie Outbreak:
The FatMax range from Stanley is a steroid enhanced line of tools with little or no purpose on an everyday worksite (I point you towards the FatMax website here; http://www.stanleyhandtools.ca/index-eng.php, a catalogue of tools that look more like snap-on weapons for GI Joe toys), and the FuBar is the Daddy of the whole bunch. A tool that is completely incapable of being used to actually make anything, the FuBar exists only to ruin the shit of anything foolish enough to get in its way. With a choice of a hammer face, a pick head and a splayed end, how you dispose of the shambling corpse-mess in front of you is dictated only by how pissed off you are at that point in time, which in a zombie wasteland should be proportional to how many of your family the undead fucker just bit. However, should you be wishing to go down the remove-head rather than destroy-brain route, you may want to try…
2) Roughneck "Big Mutt" Multi-Purpose Floor Scraper
Why you might find one useful everyday:
You have concrete residue on a smooth floor and you wish to scrape it off, or you have tree roots that you need to chop.
Why you might find one useful in a Zombie Outbreak:
Just look at the thing! This is what happens when a shovel fucks a hatchet. Most floor scrapers are unwieldy beasts which will only scrape the loosest of concrete from the smoothest of floors and the Big Mutt is the worst offender of all; you're more likely to gouge holes that do any actual good. As for the "chopping roots" line on the packaging; please. Like all floor scrapers, the only thing this was designed to do was chop the neck of a walking cadaver in one single lunging motion. Should the Big Mutt prove too cumbersome for you, you can always find scrapers which sacrifice blade thickness for blade width:
Or even add in T-handles for better control:
it's like the floor scraper industry is catering to even the most discerning zombie hunter and said hey friend; if you want to uppercut the front of a zombies face off and watch his brain flop out as he collapses, we'll see you right. But if your weapon swinging technique is less paint-fence and more paint-house, you may want to go down a more traditional route…
3) 26" Estwing Campers Axe
Why you might find one useful everyday:
You like your wood like you like your abs – cut to fuck.
Why you might find one useful in a Zombie Outbreak:
The axe; one of the tools that we use today that has changed very little from its Neolithic design. But just because the function of something hasn't changed much doesn't mean that it hasn't evolved; case in point, this beautiful axe from Estwing tools, market leaders when it comes to hammers and axes. Everything about this axe was designed with the sole purpose of making one single thing become two separate things, whether that is to make one big log into two small logs or one approaching flesh-eater into one stationary pile of limbs and one rolling head. This harmonica only plays one motherfucking tune, and that tune is all about how to separate head from shoulders quicker than we should separate church from state. But if the Stone-Age technology of an axe is just too damn advanced for you, you may wish to take your Zombie-culling back to absolute basics with…
4) Monument No.2 Beechwood Lead Dresser
Why you might find one useful everyday:
You've got a sheet of lead that needs shaping, so with a wee tap-tap-tap of your Lead Dresser, your sorted.
Why you might find one useful in a Zombie Outbreak:
Because it just doesn't get any simpler than this; a last-resort close range weapon which will never break, never need to be sharpened, never weigh you down and never do anything less than devastating damage to anything you swing it towards. If the Estwing Axe hasn't evolved much from a cavemans axe, then a Lead Dresser hasn't evolved much from a fucking rock. Keep on in your back pocket while lost in apocalyptic wastelands and making it home alive is almost guaranteed. It's such a devastating cudgel that if you hit the first Zombie hard enough, other approaching ghouls may summon enough of their last remaining shreds of cognition to remember that getting bludgeoned in the face with a piece of wood specifically designed to bludgeon things isn't exactly the healthiest option available to them, and shamble off to eat some other poor bastard instead. But if the horde of zombies is too much for your closest range weapon, if the sea of undead just keep coming no matter how much you swing your axe or thrust your floor scraper, no matter how many skulls cave to your FuBar… then there's only one tool for you to turn to…
5) Draper 700mm Slate Ripper
Why you might find one useful everyday:
One slate on your roof giving you heartbreak? Slide this doohicky up underneath, pull down sharply and hey presto – slate be gone!
Why you might find one useful in a Zombie Outbreak:
Unlike every other tool mentioned so far, the Slate Ripper isn't immediately useful. Sure, it's about the right size and shape of a sword but an annoying off-centre handle means it'll never be as comfortable in your hand as you'd like. Still, you could swing it at an approaching deadite and do some harm, but you'd really need to sharpen the dull edges if you wanted to score a killing blow. No, what sets the Slate Ripper apart from all other tools and makes it indispensible in your arsenal is the sheer penisness of the thing.
The specially shaped head of the tool which makes it so good at it real job when roofing is as close as DIY tools come to resembling a terrible metal phallus. Give a man a weapon and he'll use it to make up for any shortcomings he has in the trouser department; the old adage of "The bigger the gun, the smaller the dick holding it"… Well, imagine a weapon that ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE A PENIS. Courage and aggression get +100hp straight away.
You charge into battle swinging your dreadful barbed metal penis until every single zombie head has been taken from every single zombie neck. I refuse to believe that this is the only penis shaped weapon in the world. Somebody, somewhere is at this minute either creating or in possession of a purpose-built penis sword or an AK-47 with a pair of fake pigskin balls hanging off it. Until such a weapon hits the market, I suggest you get yourself to the nearest hardware Shop, buy yourself a one of everything else on this list, bunker in and wait for the inevitable Zombie uprising. I can't fucking wait.

A lot has changed since my last "Day in the Life" post – when C was 6 weeks old. Yet, so much has also stayed the same.
The biggest change would be that I have returned to work part time, working from home around 20 hours each week.
The change has brought with it many lessons in time management, although I feel as if C and I are finding our groove and settling into a fairly good daily routine. Slowly but surely.
Of course there are some days where the 'normal' is anything but 'normal', but here is an insight into what our days generally look like at the moment. I am sure there are things I forgot to include (like snacks etc) but you get the idea…
6.30am – Mr BBB and I both get up. He heads to the shower, and I head into my 'office' to get a solid hour of work done. Mr BBB leaves for work around 7.15am, then it is just us girls for the rest of the day.
7.30am – I go in and wake Charlotte up (although she is usually stirring by this stage). I have to share with you the smiley face that normally greets me each morning, as it never fails to put a smile on my face too!
7.30am - 9.00am – For the next hour and half, we set about accomplishing our morning routine. I make our bed…
while Charlotte has some tummy time…
Then it is into her nursery for a nappy change and feed…
And we spend the next hour playing, and I have breakfast.
Normally its nothing too fancy – just a bowl of GF muesli, some fruit and a cup of tea.
9.00am – C starts looking a little tired, so she generally takes a short 30 minute nap whilst snuggled on my chest. I use this time to continue working, catching up on blogs and / or preparing a blog post.
9.30am – 11.00am - C is awake, and we have more tummy and play time…
Then I put her in her swing (which now lives in our bathroom) while I have a shower.
Showered and dressed, I put a load of laundry and dishes on.
11.00am – When Charlotte is due for another nap, I bundle her up in the pram and head out. Most days we will walk to the local shops and pick up any groceries we need. Other days we will take a drive if we have errands to run.
She normally sleeps for around 40 – 60 minutes after she has nodded off.
12.30pm – Home again, and its time for lunch for both of us.
I have been fairly lazy with lunches recently, tending to eat leftovers from the previous nights' dinner or make a quick sandwich. Washed down with a cup of tea or coffee, and a big glass of water.
1.30pm – Nap time. This time, I swaddle, and put C in her bassinet. This leaves my hands free to get back into the office for another hour or two of work – depending on how long she naps for.
3.00pm – Charlotte wakes, has a feed, and we have a bit of playtime together.
Then starts our afternoon adventures.
During the afternoon, I generally start to get dinner ready, and C is generally quite happy to sit back and watch.
With dinner bubbling away slowly on the stove, and under the watchful eye of C, I unpack the dishwasher, fold the dry laundry (with assistance)..
And hang out the wet washing.
If I can, I also like to fit in some exercise during the afternoon too. Once a week my mother in law or niece comes around for a couple of hours, and I have been trying to use this time to fit in a short run. Otherwise, I will do some upper or lower body sets using free weights a few times a week (something I have just started).
4.15pm – If all is well, C will take another short nap in the late afternoon. Recently she has been fighting these naps (despite being so much happier if she takes one), and if it gets to 5.00pm and she hasn't fallen asleep, I tend to give up.
6.00pm – This evening period is still C's most fussiest, so we spend much of the late afternoon playing, generally trying to keep her distracted and happy, until her Dad walks in the door from work.
(Including impromptu photo shoots)
C instantly lights up the moment Mr BBB arrives home, and they waste no time in having some daddy / daughter play until it is time to start what has become our standard bedtime routine.
6.30pm – We bath C together every night, which is something that she seems to really like.
She loves these bath rings, in particular, and will look around for them as soon as she is placed into the bath!
6.45pm – With C washed and dried, we swaddle her and I give her as big a feed as she will take. Usually she will drift off to sleep after 10 – 15 minutes of feeding, and I transfer her to her bassinet. We aim to have this done by 7pm – or shortly thereafter.
7.10pm – With C in bed, we finish putting together our dinner (which is usually mostly prepared from the afternoon).
On this occasion it was corned beef, with a potato we had roasting in the oven for an hour or so (started just before bath time) and some steamed greens.
7.30pm – With dinner done, and the dishes washed, I head back into the office for a few more hours of work. If I have not had the chance to do much throughout the day, I might need to spend 2 hours in here. Or, if C has slept well throughout the day, I might not have to spend much extra time working at all.
9.15pm – Around this time, C will wake for a feed, which I do in our dimly lit bedroom. This usually only takes 5 minutes or so, and she will fall straight back to sleep.
9.30pm – 7.30am - While C was sleeping for good long periods overnight a while ago, this has all changed again. Over the last few weeks, she has been waking up at least 3 times – usually around midnight, 2.30am and 5.30am. While I am grateful that she generally re-settles quickly after a feed at these times, I am starting to feel as if my sleep bank is fast running out! Every night is a new adventure, although I would be lying if I said that I didn't hope she starts to sleep for longer stretches again soon.
So there you have it – a day in our life! Who knows what the next few months will bring?

Exploring space with Google Sky
Google has maps and photos of nearly all of the earth's surface. Now Google Sky lets you explore space, with the Moon and Mars enjoying a special status.
Everybody knows Google Maps. The project by the search engine giant Google has caused much ado in recent years because it maps the whole of the earth with varying degrees of accuracy. But Google wouldn't be Google if it were happy with what it had achieved. And it only makes sense for Google to push its mapping project's limits into space.

Funds will create jobs installing new high quality day-time lighting October 13, 2009 Washington, D.C. – Nevada Senator Harry Reid announced more than $750,000 is headed to the Clark County School District for installing new solar technology that will provide high quality day-time lighting. The new lighting system will provide natural light without generating any heat, which saves on air conditioning costs. Electricity bills will also drop because artificial lighting accounts for about one-quarter of the total energy consumed in an average commercial building. |

#1 Financial Goal For 2008: No More Credit Card Debt
Patrick at Cash Money Life is concurrently starting a new carnival (the Carnival of Financial Goals) and running a giveaway for a new iPod by asking What Is Your Financial Resolution for 2008? Funnily enough, that's something I was already formulating a post about (and honestly, you'll see quite a few "goal" oriented posts here in the not too distant future, since I am starting to feel like real progress is being made and can continue to be made with some planning and goal setting) so I thought I'd jump on the bandwagon and put my thoughts into words. iPods are pretty. And y'all know how much I love carnivals.
The #1 Financial Goal for our family in 2008 is NO MORE CREDIT CARD DEBT. Specifically, my goal is to eliminate the credit card debt by August 2008 so that I will not be charged any more interest on it whatsoever (the 0% interest offer it is under expires in September 2008). So I have 8 months in which to accomplish this goal. But how?
My credit card debt stands right now at $3144.20. August is 9 months away, so splitting that up, I need to pay at least $349.36 (we'll round that up to $350 for simplicity) per month every month. $200 of that is budgeted in our monthly budget already as my "fixed" minimum payment, so it is the other $150 I need to concern myself with. My goal is to dedicate every bit of alternative income I earn, from selling things, taking surveys, and blog advertising, as well as any other source I can come up with, to reducing this credit card debt. Between those sources, I have in the past few months earned over the $150 threshold. The challenge will be to be able to dedicate all of that money in the next 9 months to debt reduction since I recently lost my contract position that was contributing to our overall budget. So to accomplish my goal, I will have to either increase the alternative income goal per month by another ~$200 at least, or find another contract-type position. I am actively pursuing another contracting option and hope to have positive news on that front soon. I would like to keep all other alternative income focused on debt reduction if possible.
I do think this goal is very acheiveable and realistic. In the past 6 months, since I started this blog, we have eliminated almost an equal amount of credit card debt to what we have left – about $3000. Since that time, advertising on the blog has started to bring in some more revenue which is counteracting the loss of the contracting position for now, and if we can keep up the pace we have set in the past, we stand to eliminate the credit card debt well before our self-imposed deadline. We have kept on track and stuck to our plan and there is no reason to believe we will not be able to continue to do so. We also have an emergency fund of $1000 in place to help if we suffer a minor setback.
So, I feel our goal is specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and has a definite timeline. I'll be posting updates on our goal as part of the general Tell All Tuesday posts as well as some serious mini-celebrating when we cross each $1000 threshold (which hopefully we will do very very soon!)

Kansas Citys most iconic fried chicken restaurant started out as a roadhouse at 85th and Troost. Its founder, Helen Stroud, called the place a shack. After seven decades of serving iconic pan-fried chicken, the original location closed in 2005 to make room for a city street-widening project. Longtime owner Mike Donegan has reopened in a suburban building thats been cleverly painted and decorated to look much like the old place, and the menu is the same: juicy chicken, terrific fried chicken livers, pork chops, chicken-fried steak and all the familiar side dishes (served family-style). Customers still happily wait an hour or more for a table. Theres no other restaurant or fried chicken in the city quite like Strouds. — Charles Ferruzza

Why won't InDesign 2.0 open after upgrade to Snow Leopard.
Are you receiving a particular error message? What have you tried so far to resolve your difficulties?
It just won't launch. Message is "InDesign 2.0 closed unexpectedly." I've kind of stumbled around looking for a solution but basically I've been able to do nothing.
I would recommend you begin with removing InDesign 2.0 and reinstalling. If this is truely InDesign 2.0 then you can move the folder to the trash can. Is this InDesign 2.0 or CS2 btw?
Thanks. It truly IS 2.0. I realize how old it is but it works for me.

CHARLEVOIX — A talk, "Transforming Arthritis Care with Diet Therapy," will take place at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 20, at the Charlevoix Public Library.
Charles Huebner, a rheumatologist with the Harbor Lifestyle Center in Petoskey will discuss the two main categories of arthritis — degenerative and inflammatory and how diet plays a role.
"Lifestyle factors, including diet, are an under-recognized contributing force in inflammatory arthritis," Huebner said.
"Interestingly, rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory arthritic conditions are rarely seen in societies that do not consume the Western diet of animal based and processed foods. Meat consumption is strongly correlated with the development of rheumatoid arthritis. There is a strong body of evidence in the medical literature demonstrating that a plant-based diet can effectively treat rheumatoid arthritis," Huebner added.
Huenber noted there are multiple ways that diet affects arthritis and inflammation. After consuming, meat, dairy, oils and processed foods, such as white flour, our entire blood vessel lining tissue (endothelium), becomes swollen and inflamed for six to 10 hours. This tissue, if laid flat, would cover several tennis courts. Conversely, when we consume whole grains, fruits, legumes and vegetables, this reaction does not occur. Certain foods, especially the dark green leafy vegetables such as kale, swiss chard and spinach actually heal blood vessel inflammation. Also, meat and dairy proteins have been shown to activate the immune system to cause inflammation.
A recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine, demonstrated that the consumption of cruciferous vegetables decreases intestinal inflammation. This is important, because we know that inflammation in one part of the body stimulates or worsens inflammation in another remote site (inflammation begets inflammation).
Huebner has been treating people with arthritis for more than 20 years. He has taken part in multiple studies testing new arthritis medications, which have been an important part of helping people live functional, productive lives.
However, in this period of time, Huebner said he has not witnessed any medical treatment that has come close to achieving what a whole foods, plant-based diet can do for a person's overall health, including arthritis.
There is no fee for the discussion. Reservations are not required.

Sandy Hook Elementary School – No Laughing Matter
Mental Health Humor Cartoon by Chato Stewart
T.V news: How many have to die before they make mental health a top priority.
Chato Stewart: <<on knees crying>>Caption: No, No, NO – Not Again!
As we mourn the loss of this tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School, I can only pick up my pen and draw. This is where drawing the Mental Health humor cartoons becomes my own art therapy. Yes, dealing with Sandy Hook Elementary School is no laughing matter but coping with it using art therapy is beneficial. I have no more words…just tears of a father.

Dude, so what. She's a mom. Get a better story.
I was that mom, I think it's awesome!
She's just doing what the World Health Organization recommends! I don't see anything wrong with feeding her child.
This is not weird or fucked up. I'm a young mom and my dd and I did the same things, Ergo and all. My dh and I have no other family, and I have always just done what feels right to me – I never read or saw anything at WF (or anywhere) or talked to anyone else about any of it, really. I know you're just making stuff up to be amusing but I'm just sayin'.
First of all, breastfeeding is natural and healthy! Second of all, she is doing it discreetly. No one can see anything. And if you can, you are too close!!! Maybe if the idiots on this post were breastfed they would be able to comment more intelligently.

While the appearance of Sister Simone Campbell of NETWORK was the big religious news out of the Democratic National Convention yesterday, the nun from "Nuns on the Bus" was there as a speaker, not to give a prayer or benediction.
The closing benediction on Wednesday evening was given by Rabbi David Wolpe of Sinai Temple in Los Angeles, who had to follow not only former President Bill Clinton, but also the long roll call from each state, which meant he took the podium to a nearly empty convention hall.
Wolpe, who was named the "most influential rabbi in America" by Newsweek, prayed that Americans would take up the "holy charge" to care for the poor and hurting, quoting Isaiah's directive to "defend the orphan and take care of the widow."
He also mentioned unity, noting that "right and left" worship "the same God."
Apparently, Wolpe also inserted a last-minute reference to Jerusalem into his prayer:
Give a Christmas gift that lasts all year. Give the gift of NCR!
The phrase "and ultimately to that golden and capital city of Jerusalem" was not in the original text, according to JTA, a Jewish news service.
After criticism, the Democratic party added language to its platform affirming Jerusalem as Israel's capital--as well as adding a reference to "God" that had been removed. The platform already included a section on the importance of faith.
The full video of Rabbi Wolpe's prayer is here.
Tonight Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York gives the closing benediction.

Sean Edwards laments 'woeful defending' after Westfields, Hereford, thumped 4-1 by Black Country Rangers in FA Vase
4:00pm Friday 19th October 2012 in Sport By Ian Morgan
Westfields 1 Black Country Rangers 4
MANAGER Sean Edwards lamented his team's 'woeful defending' after Westfields were thumped in the first round proper of the FA Carlsberg Vase.
It wasn't the birthday celebration that the Westfields manager had hoped for and he admitted the only gifts on offer were those presented by his defence.
"We should have pushed on in this competition – we should be serious contenders in it," said Edwards, whose men fell apart in the second-half and conceded three goals.
"Today has been a culmination of what's happened since the start of the season.
"Our defending has been woeful this season.
"Last year, we hardly conceded but this year, we can't keep a clean sheet."
It was always going to be a testing season for the Hereford club after they narrowly missed out on promotion to the Southern League last term despite topping the table for long spells.
"Last year, we had no injuries but this year that's not been the case," said Edwards.
"Craig Jones' hamstring was a bit tight so he had to come off at halftime and Sam Gwynne was struggling with a hip injury."
Striker Daryl Addis has left the club but Dene Whittall-Williams and Alex O'Leary, who made his debut in Saturday's loss, are among the new faces.
"Daryl has gone but I think we've got a stronger squad this season but, today, we were completely flat from start to finish. We were devoid of ideas and energy and no-one wanted to know."
Black Country Rangers play one tier below Westfields but looked a confident outfit and are romping away with the West Midlands League Premier Division title.
Westfields made a bright start to Saturday's game and Aidan Thomas almost put the hosts ahead early on but his shot was kept out by Richard Kennedy.
Sam Gwynne had a penalty appeal waved away by Worcester-based referee Darren Wilding before the hosts fell behind against the run of play in the 29th minute.
Former Wolves youngster Liam Hughes, who had earlier fired wide, rifled home the opener from the edge of the box after neat work with Steve Bowes.
And, moments later, Jamie Moore produced a fine save from skipper Bowes, who had raced clear.
Chad Shepherd scooped an effort over the top before Westfields were given a lifeline on the stroke of halftime.
Leigh Pardoe sent Thomas sprawling inside the box and former skipper Anthony Robbins confidently dispatched the spotkick to level the tie.
Unfortunately for Westfields captain Jones was replaced at the break after suffering a tight hamstring and the hosts were poor in the second-half.
Hughes robbed a defender and barged his way through to put the visitors ahead in the 51st minute.
Three minutes later, substitute David Meese made it 3-1 to Rangers, tapping in a cross at the far post to end Fields' Wembley dreams.
The hosts created plenty of chances - substitute Richard Kear was clean through twice but saw his shots saved and Carl Morgan fired weakly at Kennedy when well placed.
But the visitors were more clinical and Meese rounded off the scoring with eight minutes left to leave the home fans shaking their heads in disappointment.
Edwards said: "We were fantastic at Dunkirk seven days ago and passed them off the pitch.
"Dunkirk were miles better than the team we played against today. It's no good shouting and bawling after the game – we are all in this together.
"We were flat from the start and defended like schoolboys. If you defend like that, you aren't going to beat anyone."
Westfields have a chance to bounce back against Coleshill at allpay.park in the Midlands Alliance this Saturday.
"Scott Jackson had played the last three games and was feeling a bit stiff and maybe I should have made him play because this might not have happened," said Edwards.
FORMER Hereford United midfielder Sam Gwynne has been playing well for Westfields, says manager Sean Edwards.
Gwynne had a trial match at Brackley Town last month.
"Sam Gwynne went there for a trial game and he had to sign forms and all the papers picked up on it,"
said Edwards.
"It was reported he had signed for Brackley but he hasn't. He's back here and he's been playing really well for us."
Black Country Rangers boss Nigel Birch feels his team are on track for promotion to the Midland Alliance. They were beaten by Pegasus Juniors earlier in the season but have established a huge lead at the top of the table.
"There are three or four players who could play two leagues above," said Birch, previously involved with Hednesford Town and Highgate.
"Our main aim is to get promoted.
"We have now beaten a good Westfields side and a good Boldmere team this season and we're doing OK."
