- " We were very happy with our overall stay, though frustrated that guests have to pay for parking. "
- 22 Nov 2013 Anonymous USA
- " I called to make sure I was booking two beds. When I got to the city with the hotel I had only one bed. The hotel staff was rude and patronizing and when I called hostel.com they were worse. Jo concession or apology was made. "
- 15 Nov 2013 Roberta USA
- " It's more a hotel than a hostel, absolutely wonderful experience - friendly staff, great breakfast (you can make your own waffles!), big rooms lots of space, private bathroom, and other facilities.. truly wonderful, thanks! "
- 18 Oct 2013 Anonymous Bulgaria
- " The staff was very helpful. The location close to downtown. The breakfast was excellant. "

- " This is actually a Best Western "Loyal Inn" complete with hot tub, gym, private bathrooms, microwaves and fridges in room... The staff was very accomodating! Especially would like to thank Chris who went above and beyond the call to make our trip pleasurable. "

- " We were very pleased with our stay. The room was nice, the breakfast was excellent and the location couldn't have been any better! Also, the staff was very friendly and helpful. "
- 24 Jun 2013 Jana USA
- " The hotel is older, but remodeled and clean, and staff was very friendly. The area didn't look sketchy, but be careful if parking on the premises, especially if you have to park on the back side of the hostel. There are security cameras, but it's not going to stop a thief. Our rental car was broken into, along with another car next to ours, just a smash and grab sort of thing, so don't leave valuables in your car. (We had nothing in our car, but apparently, the one next to us did.) "
- 23 Jun 2013 Sarah USA
- " Since this is a Best Western, I expected a better breakfast. Especially unacceptable was the policy that no food could be taken to one's room. When I'm paying for a hotel, I expect part of what I'm paying for is comfort and convenience and that includes eating in front of "my" t.v. in my room. "
- 15 Apr 2013 Joanne USA
- " The staff was super helpful and nice. I have to admit the door sign gets hard to use and confusing. "
- 28 Mar 2013 Anonymous Canada
- " It doesn t look like a hostel, but hotel. Staff excelent and have a great breakfast. Juíces, bagels, waffles, muffins, cofee, milk, fruíts. "

I do not like these. I think they are too casual to wear in a work environment except as some sort of fashion statement.
You need to have a few nice pair of cuff links. I have a couple Knotz Cufflinks now and they are a great way to make your outfit pop.
Not your father's cuff link! Nice, elegant look that is a for today's man. A cut above the everyday traditional jeweled links. Brings back the French Cuff as a point of style. I'll never go back to to a button style cuff.
My 18 year old son received a pair of these in his (gifted) subscription box. He thought they were nice and modern. He ended up wearing them on a button down shirt for an interview recently and they looked great! Thank you for another introduction to something new in his wardrobe!
I wear French cuffs every day and have a large collection of great links. While a beautiful color, and interesting style these were not a welcome addition. They are too cumbersome to put on which makes for a very frustrating morning experience. Stick to the t-bars.
My biggest problem with cufflinks is finding a pair and keeping them together (and keeping the tarnish at bay!). These solve both those problems and more - color coordination is now an option instead of silver or gold and the knotted appearance brings comments too. Easier to put on and remove than t-bar or stud types, and the glass bottle for storage is ingenious!
These cuff links are too cool. They are unlike any I currently own and I couldn't be more pleased about that fact.
These are terrific little cufflinks that add a really unique, elegant pop of color to your suit. I love the interesting design and vibrant color. In my case, the red is not suitable for every outfit - but goes nicely with a few of my ties.
The only drawback, and its a biggy, is that I found them really, really difficult to get on. Maybe I'm just an uncoordinated ape, but I don't have 10 minutes in the morning to figure out how to get my cufflinks on.
As a man who does wear cufflinks about once a month, these are versatile, easy to use. I'd recommend them.
I'm lucky enough to be able to wear whatever the heck I want to work = jeans & tee shirt. The last time I wore cuff links was at my wedding, but these are pretty dope. Understated and original.

At age 8, his family moved from South Korea to the United States. Took up the game a year later and by the time he left the junior golf program had become the top junior player in the U.S. Bypassed senior year of high school and college to turn professional at age 17.
Appeared in a January 2010 episode of "CSI: Las Vegas" on CBS along with Rocco Mediate, Duffy Waldorf, Gary McCord and David Feherty.
A year after carding a 12-over 16 on the par-4 ninth hole in the first round of the 2011 Valero Texas Open, returned to San Antonio, taking the mishap in stride. Taped a segment for "Inside the PGA TOUR," using a chainsaw to remove a number of branches responsible for the high score a year earlier, was featured on ESPN's "SportsCenter" and various, local radio stations as he re-lived the headache. In the second round in 2012, hung the shirt he wore that fateful day on a tree branch as a sacrifice near the area from where he tried to play en route to the 16.

Business: Iva Jean
Owner: Ann DeOtte
Industry: Clothing
Seattle can be an intimidating place to start bike commuting. There are safe routes to find, weather and geographical elements to deal with, and then there's the gear. Oh, the gear. In Seattle there seems to be an abundance of black spandex and neo-green jackets, expensive road bikes, and all season-equipped road warriors.
So when Ann DeOtte first decided to start bike commuting she was intimidated.
"It was 2007. The Bike Master Plan was being created and at Berger Partnership Landscape Architecture and Urban Design, bicycling was a topic we talked about every day. I started to get an interest in the bike culture, but more from a civic and sustainability standpoint. It seemed so romantic," DeOtte recalled.
She did the math and decided to trade in her car for a $100 vintage Motobecane.
"I realized I didn't need my car — I could bike and bus. And I wanted to live on Capitol Hill and not pay an extra $500 for parking. So it was also a financial decision. It just made sense, it wasn't some grand gesture," DeOtte said.
But just getting on a bike to ride to work was harder said than done.
"When I started to bike, I thought I needed a fancy bike and all this bike gear. But I didn't want to wear it because I am an aesthetically conscious female," DeOtte said. "I wanted to be able to ride my bike to meet my friends and not be the only one in head-to-toe spandex."
"At some point, I realized that this is Seattle; most people don't have to dress up all that much to go to work. So I started biking in normal clothes," she said. "Today, I'm a fair-weather, normal-clothes, no-shame-putting-my-bike-on-the-bus kind of biker."
In 2009, DeOtte went on a trip to Europe, visiting Copenhagen, London and Berlin.
"I spent a month in Europe taking in the bike culture. It was really empowering to see women, men and families of all ages riding their bikes in everyday clothes. It was a real aha-moment for me," she said.
Inspired by the European bike culture, DeOtte decided to bring that lifestyle back with her to Seattle and share it with others.
Then one day, DeOtte got caught in a rain shower. While this is not unusual in Seattle, she realized that a Gore-Tex jacket simply wasn't enough.
"I thought, 'If only I could just cover more than my torso'," DeOtte recalled.
She did some research online and found that none of the existing rain jackets and ponchos worked for her.
"I couldn't find any well-designed ponchos that weren't so big and made from nasty nylon. The designs I found wasn't anything I wanted to wear. I wanted more function and a product that wasn't just for biking," she said.
From there, she got together with some local designers and started to develop the first product in her Iva Jean clothing line: the Rain Cape.
"I started Iva Jean to provide products and resources that encourage women to incorporate biking into their everyday lives," DeOtte stated. "There are so many women who need one more nudge and one less barrier to get on a bike. I'm doing this because I want more women to bike and this is one way to do it."
DeOtte named her company after her grandmother, who was a big part of her life growing up.
"She was always creating and making things. She's the one who took me to craft stores and taught me how to make stuff," she explained. "Also, I knew I wanted to use a unique woman's name to give the brand a more holistic image of a person, not just about biking. I see myself more as an industrial designer instead of a fashion designer. I don't intend to design trendy or seasonal; I want my garments to be timeless. I want people to buy less and buy better."
DeOtte's designs –like the Rain Cape, the two-way reflective vest and the reveal skirt –focus on practicality, safety, and style on and off the bike.
"I got a lot of flak when I first designed the cape because it was gray. But it has a lot of reflectivity. I know safety is very important to women and to my market," she said. "It's possible to incorporate safety seamlessly and elegantly."
DeOtte said she's only focusing on women's apparel for now because "no one else is paying attention [to women]. We're still a small market but men and women have different needs. We care a lot more about community, safety and aesthetics. I know how I ride and want to inspire more women to ride."
In addition to providing women with stylish, quality products, DeOtte hopes to create a community of women who bike.
"When more and more people see others riding, they realize that they can do it, too. It's about community, teaching and sharing" she said. "When I first started, I was biking with friends who were already biking. They showed me how to get to work. It wasn't rocket science but it was great to have someone with me showing me which route to take to work and how to put my bike on the bus."
Iva Jean launched their first product, the Rain Cape, in fall of 2011. The product, as well as the company itself, have since been featured in the Huffington Post, Forbes, Momentum Magazine, and the Seattle Met, among others.
All products are small production and made right here in Seattle. DeOtte recently left her day job to give Iva Jean her undivided attention, rolling out new products and aiming to reach more cities and more aspiring riders.
In December, Iva Jean got financial support from 252 backers on Kickstarter for her new line of products, assuring continued growth and a sustainable business model for Iva Jean.
"It's going well," she said. "Here's to hoping!"

New Policy
Major Revision of Existing Policy
Minor/Technical Revision of Existing Policy
Reaffirmation of Existing Policy
This document promulgates procedures and policy for the conduct of both University-sponsored and non-sponsored camps conducted at the University of North Florida. II. STATEMENT OF POLICY
Camps conducted at UNF may include, but are not limited to: sports, music, cheerleading, flag corps, math, religious, adult and child education, and similar activities. Most camps are conducted during the summer months at UNF, but they may be conducted anytime during the calendar year as approved through the procedures detailed herein.
University-sponsored camps are those in which participants pay attendance fees directly to the sponsoring department. Non-sponsored camps are those in which participants pay attendance fees directly to the camp director or organizer. The Office of Environmental Health, Safety, Insurance & Risk Management (EH&S) will assist with the administration of this policy by ensuring that all required documentation is properly completed and included in an application package (see item 6 below). The Vice President for Administration and Finance must approve this package prior to commencement of camp activities.
Requests to conduct camps at UNF will be processed by the department sponsoring or camp director requesting the camp. The following documentation must be included in a request to conduct a camp: a. Camp Application Agreement: Attachment 1 b. Special Facilities Use Form(s): Include the respective form(s) required by each UNF facility used by the camp, (i.e. Housing, Arena, Aquatics Center, etc). c.Report of Outside Activity or Employment: This form must be completed for University employees who are compensated from camp proceeds and UNF or the state of Florida. This form is included as Attachment 2. d. Contracts/Agreements: Include signed copies of all contracts/agreements between the camp sponsor, respective departments, and UNF facilities as part of the application package. The Office of the General Counsel must approve all contracts before they are signed. e.Insurance: (1) Liability Insurance: The state of Florida provides general liability insurance for UNF. However proof of liability insurance, in the form of a "certificate", must be included in the application package for all non-sponsored camps and camps not conducted on UNF property. The certificate of liability insurance must add the University of North Florida a Public Body Corporate, the UNF Board of Trustees, the Florida Board of Education, the state of Florida and its officers, agents and employees as additional insureds by written endorsement. A minimum of $1,000,000.00 coverage per occurrence is recommended. (2) Accident Insurance: The state of Florida does not provide accident/health insurance for students, OPS employees or non-university personnel. Therefore, participants or their legal representatives must complete a "Liability Waiver and Release Form" (Attachment 3). The sponsoring department or camp director must ensure these forms are completed by each participant prior to the start of the camp and that copies are retained for a period of three years. All camp participants must provide proof of accident/health insurance. Camp directors or sponsoring departments may purchase excess accident/health insurance coverage through EH&S for those participants who cannot provide proof of coverage. (3) Camp directors or sponsoring departments who need to purchase excess accident/health insurance coverage must submit the following information to EH&S no later than April 1 of each year: 1. Name and nature of camp 2. Number of participants 3. Dates of camp, (Indicate # of days participants will be in the camp) 4. General age of participants 5. Dates participants will stay overnight (if any) 6. Account number for payment of insurance premiums 7. Type of camp activity or events scheduled 8. Number of OPS or volunteer camp supervisors to be insured (if any) 9. Description of and arrangements for travel (if any) f. Usage Fees: Camps may be assessed a fee for the use of any UNF facility. The specific facility and fee amount will be reflected on the camp application form. The camp may also be assessed a fee for custodial and other maintenance services. This fee amount will be determined through coordination with the Physical Facilities Department and will be reflected on the application form. The UNF trademark is protected by copy write and cannot be used in conjunction with camp advertising without permission from the University. In order to protect the liability interests of the University, use of the UNF trademark by non-sponsored camps must also include a disclaimer that UNF does not sponsor the respective camp. Camp directors must provide an adequate number of chaperones/counselors to escort and supervise camp participants at all times. Generally, the number of chaperones/counselors should be determined by the age of the participants and the nature of the camp. At least one chaperone for every ten participants is recommended for each camp. However, camps with participants under the age of 10, those that use multiple facilities in a day, those with activities creating the potential for physical injury or those that include an overnight stay should provide one chaperone/counselor for every five camp participants. UNF employees and students may be voluntarily engaged to operate or assist with both sponsored and non-sponsored camps. Department heads must ensure that established rights and privileges are maintained for both employees and students. Formerly 9-9.002

Kitchen Performance Anxiety
I think I'm suffering from hostophobia, or fear of being an incompetent host (I know, it's not really a word, but maybe it'll make it onto the Schott's Vocabulary blog). My fiancé and I are throwing a housewarming party in a couple of days, and it will be the first time we have been responsible for feeding so many people. Puzzling over what to serve, and whether our mostly untested antique appliances (the house we bought has a kitchen that was last renovated in the 1950s) will function properly, is keeping me up at night.
Our first mistake was scheduling the soirée for the weekend after we moved into the house. We were so excited about finally having our own party-friendly place after years of living in tiny apartments we neglected to consider whether we would have enough time to unpack.
But the real source of anxiety is the food. My confidence in my cooking abilities is inversely proportional to the number of people I am serving. Memories of past failures loom large: In graduate school my roommate and I threw a small Middle Eastern-themed dinner party. We were a little too liberal with the rose water in the rice pudding we served for dessert, and our guests—who politely ate it anyway—left feeling like they had gargled their grandmothers' perfume. Then there was the edamame and radish salad I brought to a barbeque. It tasted good when I first prepared it, but when I opened the Tupperware lid at the party, the room filled with a powerful smell of flatulence. No one ate it.
And what to serve? Some of our friends are vegetarians, while others won't touch a vegetable (unless you count potatoes). How do we please both the epicures and the unadventurous in the crowd?
I found some reassurance in a blog post at the Atlantic Food Channel called "7 Lessons in Southern Hospitality." Southern chef Regina Charboneau writes that "opening your home is gift enough." In other words, your guests are there to enjoy your company and have a good time, not to have a gastronomic epiphany.
Her seven entertaining tips for the insecure host include developing a signature dish that people will look forward to whenever they come over; preparing as much as possible in advance so you aren't frantic as your guests arrive; and buying some things already prepared rather than insisting on making everything from scratch, down to salad dressing.
With these tips in mind, I have altered my game plan. I've scrapped my original idea, to make a complicated dish I once saw prepared at a cooking class. Instead I'm going to stick with a recipe for chili that I've made successfully before, plus lots of finger foods, and, for a seasonal touch, caramel fondue with chunks of local apple for dipping.
My favorite piece of advice from Charboneau, and one I plan to take to heart: make it easy on yourself—don't be a martyr.

You need to make something that can feed large quantities: homemade mac & cheese, lasagna, a ragu with pasta, soups, etc… These are crowd pleasers that scale well and be easily adapted to have veg/non-veg options. Soups are better the day after; lasagna can be reheated in the oven.
Throwing together a homemade salad takes a few minutes. I disagree strongly with Ms. Charboneau: I dislike most prepared foods, especially, salad dressings. Most store bought salad dressings are over priced abominations. After all, how hard is it to put together olive oil and vinegar?
Good luck!
I love to make a big pot of whatever – stew, soup, chili, even chicken provencal if I'm feeling fancy. I think the decision to make something you've done before is grand. Why put yourself through the hassle of making something new? Save that for the family at the holidays!
I'm also a big fan of the potluck – especially if you have vegan, vegetarians and omnivores all coming together, and less than satisfactory kitchen.
And, don't forget your reward! Mine is cake and/or pie at the end of the big meal. Yum! :-)
Potluck- ask your friends to contribute.
Regina is right about a relaxed cook. Your friends are coming for you, not for the food.
Thus my advice is to serve simple foods that are easy to prepare in advance, restock as the party goes on, and save for later. Chips, salsas, bean dips, veggies & dips, cheese and crackers, lightly salted steamed edamame in the shell, frozen snacks like mini pizzas (Trader Joe's has excellent ones) and taquitos, etc. This has worked for me a thousand times. The few times I've ignored these rules I've really regretted it.
I'm quite omnivorous (more carnivorous and a frugivore than a veggivore), but you could always have hamburgers. A friend of mine had a BBQ over the summer, and her step-family are Indian; they don't eat meat. So it's a little awkward. What do you serve? They made black bean burgers for the vegetarians and normal burgers for the omnivorous. I never thought much of veggie burgers before, but they were absolutely delicious. I wish I'd asked for one of those than the burger! (I also wish I had the recipe!)
Of course, if you're afraid that burgers would be too plain, you can always try mixing in some herb butter or more unique sauces. Burgers don't just have to be ketchup and buns! If you bake or know of a bakery close by, you could get some bread there. Or you could try some mini-burgers.
Good luck and I hope you enjoy yourselves!
[...] I occasionally like to buy those old-fashioned violet pastilles in a tin, and, despite my earlier rice pudding disaster, I find rose water similarly appealing. Some flavors can transport you to another place; the light [...]

I wanted to do some surf related conditioning (out of the water) since I'm able to surf only weekends, so I purchased the Surf Stronger DVD workout. I watched through it and it seems to be intended for the beginner since the exercises are extremely easy, at least for me that is.
If I had known this I wouldn't have got it, but still, I need a good workout routine to keep fit for surfing, anyone suggest the Surf Stronger - Core Training with Serena Brooke DVD? Or is it of the same difficulty... Either that or something else. I'm afraid to use any more of my funds for another disappointment.
Thanks in advance.

Aveley vs AFC Sudbury
7:22pm Monday 22nd October 2012 in News By Matt Abbott, Reporter
This live event has finished
- FT: Aveley 4 - 1 AFC Sudbury
- Ryman Division One North
- LIVE from Millfield
- Three goals in the last 10 minutes see Millers blast away Yellows.
Well that was an excellent last 10 minutes from Millers. It was crying out for a finish like that as we peered out into the fog, toes growing ever colder.
But inspired sub Petrit Elbi and resilience from Millers as Sudbury looked to shut out the game, see Aveley win their 6th game on the bounce, 5th in the league.
The fourth goal was the pick of the bunch, but Sudbury were poor. A collapse was almost inevitable once Millers found that second goal.
Thank you for following tonight!
It's a Thurrock FA Trophy derby this weekend: East Thurrock United vs Thurrock! Join me from 2.30pm!
Aveley 4 - 1 Sudbury
Four minutes added on, of which at least two have now been played.
Junior Appiah blasted down the right, showing blistering pace. His cross to the back post was taken down beautiully by Elbi, who smashed the ball into the bottom right corner.
Goal of the game. Super stuff from Millers.
These boys really are title contenders.
GOAL! AVELEY 4 - 1 AFC Sudbury - Petrit Elbi, 90'
Sudbury sub now. Bradley Thomas is replaced by Taylor Sinfield.
Aveley made a change after scoring the second. Paul Burnett was replaced by Ellis Sands.
If there was going to be a winner, it would only be Aveley. Sudbury have been so poor going forward. But this pacey Millers side has had the potential to threaten, and two quick goals have won the game for Millers here.
I honestly don't think i'm speaking too soon either. Sudbury have had three efforts on goal, and hit the target once.
Well that seals it! A great solo effort by Oakley, as he battled to win the ball on the left of the box, wriggled his way into the box towards goal and planted it into the bottom corner across the keeper.
GOAL! AVELEY 3 - 1 Sudbury - Shane Oakley 81'
Finally! Something to warm the fans. It's sub Petrit Elbi. Some good football from Aveley saw the ball wind up on the right. Rose crossed, Elbi got up and hit the post, Holland won the ball back, laid it into Elbi who couldn't miss!
GOAL! AVELEY 2 - 1 Sudbury - Petrit Elbi
Half chance for Sudbury and it's close to a goal as they've come since scoring an age ago. Lee Boylan slipped away from Wilson, but his shot, as he ran in the direction of the corner flag spins well wide.
Bradley Thomas, booked earlier, is lucky to still be on the pitch. He caught Burnett in the face as they both went up for a header. He's warned by the referee though!
Petri comes on for Cox then.
Elbi Petri preparing to come on for Millers. He could add some impetus. Cox, his likely replacement, heads tamely into Howe's arms.
Ambitious strike by Appiah as he collects a cleared corner 35 yards from goal. To be fair though, it's not a bad effort and Howe had to keep an eye on it.
It's growing colder and foggier at Millfield and the football's been very disappointing in the second half. Both sides are squandering possession. There have been no chances for a while.
The poor quality is epitomised as Ronnie Martin loses the ball, Cox wins it, then loses it straight away, before Bradley Thomas throws himself into a challenge and earns a booking.
Aveley sub:
Junior Dadson is replaced by Shane Oakley.
Superb, rasping effort from Dadson, 30 yards out. It's tipped over the bar by Howe.
Gardner and his assistant Victor Renner look to be pondering changes. Aveley lacking that final ball at the moment. But this quite dismal Sudbury side are so poor going forward that Aveley might only need one good pass and one cool finish to win this.
Mix up between Cox and Dadson, as Cox wins the ball, puts it wide to Dadson, but Dason tries to return the ball too quickly, over hitting his pass into the box.
Smashing ball from Marcus Rose, a long raking50 yard pass that's superbly controlled by Cox. He has only the keeper to beat, but snaps at his shot and the keeper saves.
First real chance for Aveley falls to Dadson. The ball is laid off to him by Appiah, but he slips as he shoots from just inside the box, sending the ball high over the bar.
A relatively tame start to the half. Sudbury have seen most of the ball but as in the first half, look completely unable to create an opening.
We're back underway at a foggy Millfield!
They're closely followed by Sudbury. We're about ready!
Aveley are coming out for the second half!
Good half here in Aveley. Millers have been good, bar a five minute lull soon after scoring.
They've had a couple of changes and Sudbury are certainly struggling to keep up with the break neck speed at which Aveley play.
Paul Burnett gave Millers the lead after 8 minutes, but Leon Antoine, who later went off injured, equalised four minutes later.
Sudbury fail to deal with a corner. Leader pokes the ball towards goal as it falls to him at the near post, but it's headed off the line!
Nice again from Millers as Dadson this time works an opening, before shooting low from the edge of the box. Howe spills it and it's then half cleared, but only as far as Appiah who fizzes an awkward cross-come-shot wide.
That's better from Millers, as they work the throw in well. Danny Hopkins exchanges a smart one-two with Junior Appiah on the edge of the box before shooting just wide. Lovely play to work the first opening in a while, though.
Justin Gardner has just shouted to his players: "Where's the urgency? Do we want it or not?" As another long ball goes astray...
Been very few chances in the last ten minutes. Both sides probing but both have also closed down the space.
The game was very open to begin with but it's become much tighter in the last 20 minutes or so.
Paul Burnett fires over from range after skipping round one challenge.
Cox blowing hot and cold. Made some poor touches, but in setting Burnett up, his control and lay off with back to goal was exquisite.
Some good pressure from Sudbury now. Aveley winning the ball occasionally, but failing to clear as Sudbury ping the ball around - in hope - just inside the Aveley half.
But Aveley survive.
Paul Burnett gets a booking now for a late challenge on Bradley Thomas. There was a horrible noise as the two collided, either slapping skin or colliding bone. Either way, it wasn't nice. Burnett booked, and Thomas hobbling on.
Sudbury making a change now. The injured Leon Antoine is going to be replaced by Danny Charge.
Last time this boy was in Thurrock (against Tilbury) he was impressive.
Aveley just struggling to pick out their targets with balls into the box, as Paul Burnett sends a cross high over Cox.
Aveley only seem to play one way - at full throttle. It's a high risk, go in fast for everything kind of style. When it pays off it's superb, but because it's so risky, occasionally they lose out. As Alfred Kamara just lost out charging at a loose ball on the right, with Ronnie Martin nicking in just ahead of him.
Game's wide open and very exciting!
Great chance missed by Appiah now! Holland persisted in the box, the ball spurned loose to Appiah, in the centre of the goal and 8 yards out, but going the other way to the ball, the keeper saved with his feet!
Since then, Junior Appiah as offered Jordan Cox the best chance of the game, collecting the ball down the right, charging towards the box, and crossing. If Cox had elected to use his head, Aveley would be 2-1 up. Instead, he attempted a bizarre kung-fu kick at the back post, missing the ball altogether.
Aveley well on top at the moment though!
I apologise, my internet connection is as miserly as the weather!
What have you missed?
Well it's 1-1!
Burnett fired in a volley from 10 yards after collecting Kamara's cross on his chest in the 8th minute.
Four minutes later, Leon Antoine equalised for Sudbury, heading in from a corner, which Gardner was extremely unhappy was given in the first place!
Chance for Dadson, as he cuts into the box from the left. His low shot is saved at the near post.
The ball goes behind for a corner, which Cox heads into Howe's arms.
Early break down the right for Jordan Cox, with Burnett screaming for it in the middle.
But Cox' ball in is poor, going behind everyone charging into the box.
Aveley will go third, above Thurrock rivals Grays Athletic if they win tonight. It will be their fifth win on the bounce!
We're off!
The only change to the Aveley side from their 4-1 win at Ware on Saturday is Paul Burnett in for Rashid Kamara. He's out for personal reasons.
Gardner has called it "a blow" to the side.
But we're about set here!
Aveley in their all blue strip and Sudbury all in red!
Teams then:
Worstor; Rose, Kamara, Leader, Wilson; Hopkins, Dadson, Holland, Appiah; Cox, Burnett
Subs: Elbi, Oakley, Querry, Sands, Sonusa
AFC Sudbury:
Howe; Dalby, Martin, Shinn, Shipton; Thomas, Brown, Pond, Fergus; Antoine, Boylan.
Subs: Cowley, Sinfield, Charge, Webb.
It really does feel like winter today. But then again, it's felt like winter since, well, last October.
We've had it all in Thurrock today, fog, rain. But it hasn't prevented this Ryman Division One North clash.
And in all truth, it's going to take some stopping this Aveley side at the moment.
They're on fire. And today, it's AFC Sudbury who try to stop Justin Gardner's juggernaut, as it ploughs towards the top of the Ryman North league.

Kansas City, MO – A Missouri budget that cuts more than 90-thousand people off of Medicaid is on Governor Matt Blunt's budget. The debate over Medicaid cuts this year has opened a moral schism, between service providers, patients and activists who deplore the cuts as cruel, and the governor who defends them as being morally correct.

Prenatal vitamins: OK for women who aren't pregnant?
Is it OK to take prenatal vitamins if I'm not pregnant and don't plan to become pregnant?
from Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D.
You may be tempted to take prenatal vitamins because of unproven claims that they promote thicker hair and stronger nails. While prenatal vitamins are generally safe for healthy adults, they may not be suitable if you're not pregnant and not planning to become pregnant. Prenatal vitamins are formulated specifically for women who are pregnant or trying to become pregnant, and women who are breast-feeding, with particular emphasis on:
- Folic acid. To reduce the risk of having a child with neural tube defects, women who are trying to become pregnant should get 600 micrograms (mcg) of folate or folic acid a day through diet and supplements. Other healthy adults — both men and women — need only 400 mcg a day. While uncommon, getting too much folic acid by taking supplements can mask the symptoms of vitamin B-12 deficiency and delay diagnosis and treatment.
- Iron. During pregnancy, the recommended intake of iron is 27 milligrams (mg) a day. Women between the ages of 19 and 50 who aren't pregnant need only 18 mg a day, and women age 51 and older and all adult men need only 8 mg a day. Getting too much iron can be toxic because it can build up in your body, causing constipation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and, in severe cases, possibly death.
- Calcium. Pregnant adult women and healthy men and women ages 19 to 50 all need 1,000 mg a day. Men and women age 51 and older need 1,200 mg a day. Because prenatal vitamins are intended to supplement calcium you get in your diet, they generally contain only 200 to 300 mg of calcium. If you rely on prenatal vitamins to meet your calcium needs, you likely won't get enough, raising your risk of osteoporosis and other health problems.
It's best to take a multivitamin tailored to your sex, age and specific medical needs.

Coyote captured near Mattapan school
MATTAPAN, Mass. (WHDH) -- The Mildred Avenue School in Mattapan was in safe mode Thursday after a coyote was spotted nearby.
The coyote was spotted in the parking lot, forcing officials to put the kindergarten through 8th grade school in safe mode for about an hour Thursday, meaning no one was allowed outside the building, but classes continued normally.
"Sometimes they carry a lot of bacteria and germs and we don't want to be exposed to that but I believe everyone handled it effectively and efficiently," said Dr. Deborah Dancy, principal.
Officials followed the coyote around the nearby neighborhood as people stood in streets and watched from porches hoping to catch a glimpse of the elusive animal.
Officers eventually found the coyote a half mile away cowering in a backyard and got a lasso around the animal's neck.
"It was trying to fight back but the policeman had it under control. His partner was helping him also," said Ahmal Prescod.
Minutes later the animal was carried out and placed into an animal control van, leaving a neighborhood trying to figure out how it got here.
"It ran right by and I was thinking it was somebody's dog at first and then I saw how mangy looking I and how big it was and it started running down the street toward Norfolk Ave.," said Leonard Brown.
7News learned the coyote is a female and has an eye injury.
The coyote is now at the Wildlife Clinic in Grafton where she is being treated for mange.
No injuries were reported.

Geology, or Earth Science, is the study of the planet on which we live. Geologists use clues from the materials of the solid Earth, as well as from the oceans and atmosphere, and from the remains of living things, to understand how the Earth works. They ask how the Earth has evolved since it formed four and a half billion years ago, and how its resources affect human life and society at the present day.
Earth Scientists have major roles to play in society. Traditionally, many geology graduates have been involved in the search for the natural resources on which we depend. As these resources become scarcer, more sophisticated methods of 'detective work' are needed. With increasing awareness of environmental issues, many geologists are being employed in the organizations that investigate the environmental impact of human activities, and help to correct environmental problems created in the past. Governments, both federal and provincial, also employ geologists in geological surveys to help increase the scientific understanding of the Earth and thereby help plan for the future.
Here at Saint Mary's our goal is to inspire and prepare students to continue their education or assume a successful career in earth science. We are very involved in our student's academic progress and we continue to maintain this link after graduation.

Keyport cave offers hundreds of craft brews
Nick Casper will be the first to admit he has a craft beer obsession. So the manager of Keyport Liquor lobbied for a "Craft Beer Cave," which open two weeks ago at the store. If public response is any indicator, Casper isn't the only enthusiast in town.By: Maria Lockwood, Superior Telegram
Nick Casper will be the first to admit he has a craft beer obsession. So the manager of Keyport Liquor lobbied for a "Craft Beer Cave," which open two weeks ago at the store. If public response is any indicator, Casper isn't the only enthusiast in town.
"Our craft beer is going through the roof," he said.
To be labeled a craft beer, the brewer has to have an annual production of 6 million barrels of beer or less, according to the Brewers Association, a nationwide organization. That leads to a dizzying variety of brews.
"You can always find something different," Casper said.
It's not all dark beer. Some brews are pale; others are flavored with berries, hints of coffee, bourbon or cinnamon. Craft beer can come in traditional cans, bottled six-packs or tall wine-like bottles.
The appeal of craft beers lie in great taste and originality, said Dan Bart, production manager for Lake Superior Brewing Company in Duluth. The microbrewery, for example, produces four year-round beers and six different seasonal brews.
"Once you try craft beer, I don't think you'll want to go back to domestic beer," Bart said.
For Jack Herer of Superior, craft beer is something to be enjoyed, not slammed. While shopping at Keyport Wednesday, he said it was nice to see such a wide selection available. The "Craft Beer Cave" consists of eight cooler doors and a walk-in space loaded with more than 400 different beers, from Oscar Blues' "Old Chub" and Victory's "Storm King" to the Duluth-born taste of Lake Superior Brewing.
Not only does Keyport have a huge selection, it's easy to browse.
"You walk into a room with over 300 six-pack varieties all around you," Bart said. "The toughest part of the job is making a decision."
The stock is ever-changing and the liquor store welcomes requests for new brews to carry, Casper said.
It is a big space to devote to one niche of the liquor business, but it's a growing slice of the pie, according to Keyport owner Mark Casper. Craft brewing has risen over the past 15 years from one percent of the overall beer market to almost six percent in 2011, according to the Brewers Association, and craft beer sales for the first half of 2012 were up by 14 percent.
"It seems to have broad market appeal," Mark Casper said. Customers to the cave include men and women, people of retirement age and college students. New faces have shown up at the liquor store, drawn to the craft beer section. Often, Nick Casper will hear them say: "It's about time."
People are looking for craft beer, he said, so Keyport strives to be the destination for it.
Keyport Liquor, 1900 Belknap St., is open from 8 a.m. to midnight seven days a week.

Twelve practices across Novant Medical Group (NMG), the physician network affiliated with Novant Health, earned Patient-Centered Medical Home recognition from the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) in September. The practices are:
This designation signifies that the practices have met a set of NCQA national standards established to improve health through the coordinated management of patient care.
In the medical home model, the primary care physician serves as a quarterback, directing other team members in their roles to ensure that every patient gets appropriate care at the right place, right time and in the right amount to support his or her optimal health. The model also helps ensure that when patients need to go elsewhere for tests or specialty care, the team has a process in place to ensure that the results are added to the patient's medical files and become part of that patient's care.

Posted: Feb 14, 2013 11:02 AM by Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) - Health officials say synthetic marijuana has been linked to kidney damage in some teens and young adults.
Sixteen people who smoked synthetic marijuana were hospitalized with kidney problems last year in six states. All recovered but five of them needed dialysis.
Synthetic marijuana is plant material sprayed with chemicals that can mimic the high from marijuana. It's been tied to such health problems as a rapid heartbeat and seizures. This is the first report of kidney problems.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it's not known exactly what caused the kidney damage. Federal and state laws ban some of the chemicals used for synthetic marijuana.
A CDC report Thursday details the 16 cases in Oregon, Wyoming, Kansas, Oklahoma, New York and Rhode Island.

RE: Ask Natalie Brown a question about 'The Lovebird'
Q: Lovebirds come in pairs. What is the significance of the lone lovebird being left in the pet store? Natalie Brown: Loneliness and loss are major themes in the novel, though that makes it sound more depressing than it is! Still, every character in the book struggles with them in his or her own way. I didn't know when I began writing The Lovebird that it would end up being so much about absence and longing. The chapter in which Margie and Bumble set the caged birds free from the pet store was one of the first bits of the book that I wrote, and I initially thought it was just a humorous, zany little episode, a satire of the sort of ineffectual capers committed by some real-life animal rights activists. At that time, I knew Margie associated the left-behind lovebird with her dad, but I didn't have a complete idea of the symbolic significance the lone lovebird would eventually take, or know that it would give the book its name. Initially, the book was simply titled Margie Fitzgerald. There was a desire to change that to something else, and The Lovebirds was one suggestion that came my way; I thought it had to be singular, not plural, as that singularity points to what the book is about. I think a lot of people, when they pick up and begin the book, assume that the lovebird of the title is Margie. In my mind, it's Dad. But everyone in the story is certainly a lone lovebird at one point or another.

RE: Ask Natalie Brown a question about 'The Lovebird'
Q: Why Latin? Natalie Brown: In addition to using it in chapter headings and opening quotes, I sprinkled a few Latin phrases (all translated) throughout the book. I chose Latin for a few reasons. It's a dead language in that it hasn't been anybody's native tongue for over a thousand years. In the novel, only twelve people, including Margie, enroll in Simon Mellinkoff's Latin class because learning a dead language seems a bit like an exercise in futility to the average undergrad. So the Latin in the book embodies a kind of futility and impermanence, which is echoed in the futility of Simon's—and later Margie's—activism, and also in the impermanence of their romance. I also chose Latin because, being dead, it contrasts with the Crow language, which also figures in the book. The Crow language should be dead – when you consider the major effort toward forced assimilation that might have killed it and did kill many other Native American languages – but it isn't. It is still alive, and because it has persisted in living it embodies vitality. So Latin is the language of Book One of The Lovebird, which largely concerns lost things, while Crow is the language of Book Two, which is much more about the miraculous continuation of life in spite of loss and heartbreak. Finally, I chose Latin because Margie is so fond of relics, and Latin is a linguistic relic—one that, even as she matures, she holds onto because it is a way to acknowledge a certain, significant phase of her life.

RE: Ask Natalie Brown a question about 'The Lovebird'
Q: How did you choose your images and symbols? Was it all purposeful and preplanned?
The only symbol that was purposefully included in the book was the bright green snake who lives under Jack Dolce's bed. That's because it was an actual, real-life bright green snake who inspired me to start writing this story in the first place. I was living in L.A. at the time, and teaching writing at a community college. One day while walking down one of the outdoor corridors on campus, surrounded entirely by concrete and stucco, I happened to see a bright green snake emerge from a crack in the sidewalk in front of me. Maybe he was somebody's escaped pet, or maybe he was really a wild thing—I don't know. He was such a totally unexpected sight, and he thoroughly delighted me and set my wheels spinning. He gave me the juiciest, most alive feeling. To me, the snake was emblematic of this really rich vitality, and also of living close to the earth. Within hours after seeing him I got the idea for a story about a very vital young woman who would fall in love with the earth. So I had to give the snake a place of honor in the book.

RE: Ask Natalie Brown a question about 'The Lovebird'
Q: How much research did you need to do in order to write this book? Did you spend a lot of time researching the beliefs of the Native Americans?
I say quite deliberately that I learned "a little." I studied with a lot of humility because, prior to the holocaust that resulted from colonization by Europeans, there were at least 500 culturally distinct Native American nations on this continent, so I was well aware that it is impossible to possess more than one droplet of knowledge about an ocean's worth of human experience. As a non-Native person, I retained that sense of humility when writing my book. After I began working on it, I made a few trips out to the Crow Reservation and attended Crow Fair, which is featured prominently in the novel. I also read and enjoyed books by a Crow author, herbalist, and traditional foods expert named Alma Snell. Her work and her sense of humor touched and inspired me. When I created the Crow characters in my book, whom I loved dearly and who felt very real to me, I tried to be both realistic and respectful, and I strove to be accurate when depicting the few Crow traditions that I included in the novel, as well as the Crow language.

RE: Ask Natalie Brown a question about 'The Lovebird'
Q: Were you involved in the design of the cover? Do you like it?
Initially, I'd suggested illustrations of all the animals and plants that are mentioned in the book—mourning doves, bison, lobsters, chokecherries, magnolias, wild roses—a gathering of all kinds of flora and fauna. Then Malin Rosenqvist, the incredible Swedish artist whose work graces the cover, came along and created absolutely beautiful art that really captures the lush quality of the book's prose.

RE: Ask Natalie Brown a question about 'The Lovebird'
Q: I loved The Lovebird. I think this is your first novel - did it take you a long time to write? Also, are you working on anything now?
I am working on a novel now that truly intrigues me. It's much darker and stranger than The Lovebird; it's a noir-ish fairytale of sorts set in 1940s Los Angeles, and it chronicles the life of a street kid/saint. I'm also working on a collection of essays.

RE: Ask Natalie Brown a question about 'The Lovebird'
Q: Because responses have been so varied, I feel the need to ask you what is the significance of the twitching ovary?
She's a tuned-in, hyper-sensitive person. When she feels an almost overwhelming sense of empathy or desire to care for another being, that feeling manifests physically, and she experiences it in the part of her body that's associated with womanhood/motherhood. The book is concerned with motherhood, maternal feelings, the power of the feminine, the notion of being connected to the earth, and idea that the earth is actually a woman's body, one that's generous and abundant in its offerings. I suppose I could have simply said Margie's heart or head flamed, tingled, or ached, but, in the context of the book's themes, ovary seemed much more fitting. On a more personal note, I'm sure I'm not alone in having my own emotions manifest in a physical way! This is just a fact of life. I saw someone describe this element of the book as "magical realism," but, honestly, to me it never seemed like magic that Margie's ovary would be, as she calls it, "a radar for helpless things."

Organizational rankings and top 10 prospects per team
February 25, 2011 Deadline Deals Central Division
by Robert Vollman
Displaying pretext
Hockey Prospectus is taking a look at the NHL division by division and suggesting ways each team should tackle the forthcoming trade deadline. On Thursday, we continue with the Central Division.
Feb. 28 marks the NHL's trade deadline and every team in the league -- both playoff-bound and those likely for the draft lottery -- has needs to address. To prepare for the final flurry of transactions, we're going team by team to see which players can help fill some holes on contenders or provide some foundational stability for teams building for next season and beyond.
One statistic you'll come across in the analysis below is GVT, the main player valuation metric used by Hockey Prospectus. For a detailed explanation of GVT, click here.

Thanks to Timo Seppa for last minute revisions for Detroit, Columbus and St. Louis. Someone else needed Conklin at the last minute (Detroit), Columbus wasn't to everyone's taste, and the St. Louis advice actually happened, but unfortunately before we could publish it. Here are the originals. The Problem: Goaltending When Joey MacDonald is leading your team in save percentage, you know you have a problem. According to GVT, Detroit is ranked 20th in nets, almost dead last among playoff-bound teams, a weakness that is further aggravated by being merely average defensively. Chris Osgood is 38, out with a sports hernia and really not all that good even if he did return at 100%, leaving their fortunes in the hands of struggling sophomore Jimmy Howard. The Fix: Bring back Ty Conklin from the St. Louis Blues. Unfortunately the Detroit Red Wings don't have the cap space for any major moves, and even have over 44 million already committed for next year. Any acquisition has to be an inexpensive one, without long-term carrying costs, which is why they tried to bring in Evgeni Nabokov with a cheap one-year deal. That's why veteran 34-year-old Alaskan Ty Conklin could be their best option. Don't be fooled by his awful season in St. Louis, going into this season the former Red Wing's post-lockout even-strength save percentage was identical to Nabokov's. He's a UFA that carries only a $1.3 million cap hit, and could be easily acquired for a middle prospect or draft choice. Columbus Blue Jackets The Problem: Puck-moving defenseman Last year Anton Stralman scored 34 points, which is the most by a Blue Jacket defenseman since the lock-out. The absence of quality blueliners, especially those who can produce offensively, has been a problem so serious that they actually signed Mike Commodore to a five-year deal worth $3.75 million per season back in 2008-09. The Fix: Wait until the off-season Despite their recent success, the Columbus Blue Jackets are still a longshot to make the play-offs, qualifying barely a hundred times in a thousand simulations over at Hockey-Reference.com. Even though they stand to miss the play-offs for the tenth time in their eleven seasons, they shouldn't trade away their future to rent an overpriced veteran, nor panic with a fire sale. Given that so many teams have been willing to deal away good draft choices for depth talent, it's a great time to move any UFAs that they do not intend to re-sign long-term, like possibly one or more of Chris Clark, Andrew Murray, Mathieu Garon, Ethan Moreau, and Jan Hejda. Columbus fans should be glad to have a conservative GM like Scott Howson, who will only move someone else – like young talent like Jakub Voracek or Steve Mason – if the offer is irresistibly advantageous to the club. St. Louis Blues The Problem: Veteran top-six forward Quick, name a Blue over 30. It's not easy to do given that there are only three. The St. Louis Blues are a young team poised to break out, and need some veteran leadership to help guide their prospects, and provide some much-needed secondary scoring. The Fix: Move Eric Brewer for a Pick or a Prospect. What a minute, right before we suggested they move their captain, didn't we say they needed veteran leadership? Yes, but unfortunately the Blues chances are very limited this season, and by keeping their stars they would be missing out on an opportunity to improve the team long-term. Over his four year contract, Eric Brewer has used up 17 million in cap space, for which you'd expect a combined GVT of 45, but he has unfortunately produced only 11.6, costing the team over 33 goals. The veteran UFA is enjoying his best season in a long time, and could finally help the club by waiving his no-trade clause, and getting them an early pick or a blue chip prospect. Given Brewer's hefty cap hit, the Blues may also need to use their ample cap room to take one in return, too. The St. Louis Blues need to keep their skilled young team together, and patiently wait for the off season to get the veteran forward they need. In the mean time they should take advantage of their most valuable expendable asset to keep their system well-stocked.

I think it's an unusual product because it allows the user to create print advertising from their site content.
Does anyone have any tips on marketing in such a competitive field?

look's pretty low budget but still dope.
just my opinion but i think twiztid's zombie was a lot better http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGBetH-IUZ0
Lol I love 40s videos. He does so many per album so they are usually fairly low budget, but the ideas are usually pretty cool.

Wow.......that video was terrible even for low budget
Kung Fu Vampire is so gay.... lol
Reminds me of the That Owl video..... In that it's horrible.
Songs tight. I think the video concept was suposed to be like a low budget horror movie, kinda corney.
